Social Gov
Agencies looking to improve on their citizen engagement may want to look to Capitol Hill for insights. According to a new study by the Congressional Research Service, the near-universal adoption of social media tools by members of Congress has changed communications between elected representatives and their constituents.
The study tracked two months of Twitter and Facebook use by members of Congress, from late August to late October in 2011. While the information is dated, it offers a detailed snapshot of how senators and representatives are taking advantage of new media to communicate.
Today, all of the senators and nearly all of the representatives in the 113th Congress have Twitter accounts. This is up markedly from just a year ago, when Twitter penetration stood at below 90 percent for all members, and Facebook use was at about 90 percent for House members at about 80 percent for senators.
During the period studied by the CRS, Republicans had the edge in adopting social media, especially in the House, where 94.7 percent of Republican members had Facebook accounts and 87.3 percent used Twitter.
About half of the total social media activity was generated by the most active 20 percent of congressional users. The report suggests that these active users "view Twitter differently" as a communications tool from those who use the medium sporadically. Few members are using their official social media channels to talk about what they had for lunch or to gush about the latest episode of Game of Thrones. And congressional rules prevent members from using their official Twitter or Facebook accounts to blast out campaign messages.
Legislators' social media activity is concentrated on a few key activities: announcing positions on issues, sharing information about home district activities, and discussing official actions such as a committee hearing or roll call vote. Members were less likely to use social media to alert constituents that they had been quoted in an article or to talk about something of personal interest.
For members, the use of social media is a way to build a following outside the state or district they represent. The study suggests that social media could pave the way from "surrogate representation" for groups that coalesce around a specific issue. "The consequences of such representation are not known, but could alter the representational strategies of individual Members within Congress," the report concludes.

Benelux Stocks: Royal BAM Groep, Nedap, Unilever Shares Move
The Amsterdam Exchange Index fell 2.51, or 0.7 percent, to 336.26 at the 5:30 p.m. close local time, bringing this week's loss to 2.4 percent. Belgium's Bel20 Index decreased 0.8 percent to 2,579.81 today.
The following are among the most active stocks in the Benelux markets today. Symbols are in parentheses.
Dutch stocks:
Royal BAM Groep NV (BAMNB NA) sank 4.1 percent to 4.23 euros, the biggest drop in three weeks, after Goldman Sachs Group Inc. rated the biggest Dutch builder "sell" with a price estimate of 4.50 euros in new coverage.
Nederlandsche Apparatenfabriek Nedap NV (NEDAP NA) increased 1.1 percent to 22.13 euros, rising for the first time in three days. The Dutch maker of surveillance and security systems said Nortech Controls will distribute its uPASS products for vehicle identification in the U.K.
Unilever (UNA NA) lost 0.5 percent to 22.16 euros, dropping for the first time in three days, after saying it will release a trading statement for its first and third quarters instead of full financial results. This will "enhance communication of performance" and move the focus on the business to the "longer term," it said.

Hello there (four) ladies and gentlemen. It's your friendly neighborhood hippo here. Not to be confused with Big Fat Hippo from back in the day, but I've been around these parts since that time frame. First as a lurker, next as a frequent commenter, and now I come to you as a humble DFS writer. I've always had a lot to say and have always wanted a platform to say it. Well, want no more. I'm excited to be coming to you weekly and hopefully putting a few pesos in your pocket. This is a nice way for me to give back to Razzball and the Razzball community for all they've done for me over the years. I was hoping this gig came with one of those STAFF shirts, I've always wanted one of those, but no dice. Instead, I've taken my Razzball T-shirt and used some iron on paper to spell out STAFF on the back. Now excuse me while I stand here with my arms crossed and try to look important. Ahhh, feels just like I thought it would. With introductions out of the way, I'd like to chat a minute about this daily game.
The daily fantasy game is the fantasy sports format of the future if you ask me. Just think about it: kids these days are all hopped up on MAXX energy drinks (no clue if that's actually a thing) and can't remove their eyeballs from their twitter account, even while driving. Nothing holds their attention for longer than 30 seconds. 30 seconds isn't nearly enough time to sit through an entire roto draft or manage a team each and every day for 6 months. You know what you can do in 30 seconds though? I'll tell ya. Put together a Draftkings lineup that could win you thousands of dollars. Instant gratification friends. You can cash out the next morning and put it all on red by the afternoon. It doesn't get much better than that. No more waiting for your 12 buddies to pay the commish who will eventually get around to sending you a check for a couple hundo. If it's bragging rights you crave, you can set up a league with those same 12 buddies and play every day for $1. Or, you can play your Razzball pals regularly right here and thump your chest in the comments. Plenty of options and a little something for everyone. I invite you to do what I did last season and decide on a bankroll (let's just say $100) and just give this thing a whirl. Play a $1 50/50 game, where half the field wins, everyday for a month or so and just get a feel for it, see how it works and see if your bankroll grows. Trust me, you don't want to be left standing on the beach while everyone else is riding the fantasy wave of the future. Now, hold on while we drop into the green room for some of today's best plays, bruh.
New to DraftKings? Scared of feeling like a small fish in a big pond? Well try out this 10 teamer of Razzball writers and friends to wet your DK whistle. Just remember to sign up through us before you do. It's how we know you care! If you still feel helpless and lonely, be sure to subscribe to the DFSBot for your daily baseball plays.Please, blog, may I have some more?

Pop culture – you can't escape it when it's here, and the minute you try to hold on, something new is in vogue. Yet many moments are defined by fads that surround it, and few more so than a trip to the gym. Today, we'll look at four telling signs that you worked out in the 1990s, and examine the pop culture snapshots that emerge from the sweat-drenched ether.

Imagine it: Spotlights shine down as you stand at midfield. Nearly 79,000 international spectators – walls upon walls of fans – scream your name. As the network cameras roll, you remember that 700 million people will share in this single moment in time. You are in Maracanã Stadium, Brazil, and the title for the world is on the line.

The World Cup is fast approaching, and what better way to mix up your training regimen than to engage in a thematically-appropriate soccer workout? No, you don't have to be an expert. All you need is a soccer ball, a wall and a towel – you're going to sweat!

Since July 18th, I've gotten over 340 spam comments (ping and trackback spam is at normal level).
The good, Akisment has caught everyone of them. But as I was perusing them to make sure no legit comments were caught, I came across "what seemed a normal comment" and followed the link.
It was from a WP blog, which had created an auto comment plugin, which you can see here: http://blackhatbootcamp.com/blog/2008/07/new-wordpress-blog-automated-comment-submitter-released-today/
So this guy creates a plugin, that puts an innocuous comment on your site in the hope that you follow the link back to "his" page to increase your hit count?
First, the plugin was released on July 12, so I'm guessing that spammers are using it en masse and it is responsible for the recent increase in comment spam?
Second, even though Akisment is catching the comment spam, is there anything that can be done about it?

Favorited this song years ago and came back for a listen. I totally forgot that it is only 1:36 long and have been listening to it loop for an upwards of 10 minutes. That is one fine loop.
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Dude it was awesome , keep up with the awesomeness ^^
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Okay, I want to say without [much] hyberbole that this is the closest thing we have to a Newgrounds "classic" in the Audio Portal. There's nothing you could add or remove to make it any better.
Also, to the guy who mentioned One Call Away by Chingy: this has nothing to do with that song, although it is similar.
Thank you, I feel a little better about this song now.

Has been my ringtone for the better half of three years haha

PORTLAND, Ore. (November 11, 2013) Hooters' waitresses in orange shorts and tight tops lined up in two rows to cheer 15 Corbett Middle School football players who arrived for an after-season party at the Jantzen Beach restaurant in Portland, Ore.
The 15 of the team's 23 members attended Saturday's party, which went on even after the school district withdrew its support for the gathering and fired the coach for refusing to move the celebration to another site.
Coach Randy Burbach thought Hooters was appropriate and refused to back down.
The Oregonian reported that most of the players kept their heads down and their hands in their lettermen jackets as their arrival was recorded on video cameras.
Hooters paid for the party and made a donation to the Corbett Middle School sports program.
The official awards party is Monday.
Pizza will be served.

text: Hi. I fear I'm missing something here. In other CMS's I've used it was easy to create links to internal pages (other pages within the CMS). Clicking the Internal Link button popped up a list of pages within the CMS. Does WordPress have a similar system (that I've missed)? I can do them manually (using the URL) but I'm if I'm setting this up for a 3rd party less web-savvy than me I'd like an 'point and click' method. I'm using WP because of it's simplicity and elegance within the Admin section (so as not to overwhelm my friend!). Regards, Edward

On August 10th 2006, Zoltan got on stage to perform stand-up comedy for the first time… He bombed. From that day forward, he dedicated himself to perfecting his comedic art. Performing in comedy festivals and winning comedy contests to working clubs and colleges, Zoltan was well on his way to stamping his name onto the national comedy scene. In early 2011 he released his first CD entitled "Naked Cartwheels", which he hopes will stand the test of time or at least until CD's are completely obsolete. Zoltan was the winner of the 2013 Seattle International Comedy Competition.

The room was just ok, boring and not inviting, we looked out over piles of garden rubbish, the bed was comforable and clean.
I hate milk in cartons. We had just stayed the night before in a perfect B&B with fresh milk and soya milk. The dining room seemsed ok and the welcome was warm, the food was great in the evening really great supper value for money but that was it..., the dining room in the morning showed signs of genally grubby, dusty and I did not like it. I also did not like the food for breakfast. It was just ok. The place needs a good spring/autumn clean

Simple Minds at Alnwick Castle weekend
My wife and I stayed on the night of the concert.
Unfortunately we had left it too late to get a taxi as every taxi in the area had been booked.We explained our predicament at check in at which point the excellent Georgette stepped in. She set about phoning every contact she had and managed to get a return taxi sorted for us. We ate in the bar , an excellent chicken caesar salad crusty sandwich ( recommended). While eating, other guests were arriving and once again Georgette set about sorting transport for everyone. We all ended up sharing fares too.In the morning, we had the full english which was cooked to perfection with excellent waitress service. A totally fantastic experiencs staying here I would recommend it to anyone. Note to management ; Your staff are a credit. Thanks again. C & D Orr.

All wrong but turned out right.
We were unable to stay at the Cook and Barker despite having received a confirmation of Booking from Laterooms.com.
Claire Gray of the Cook and Barker said they received a telephone booking before receiving our booking from Laterooms. I respectfully suggested that they get their systems looked at as their system should be updated the minute a booking is accepted from any other source. Claire Gray (of Cook and Barker) booked us in at 5 star B & B called The Old School which was superb. Did us a favour we thought as we much preferred it. We had a meal at the Cook and Barker which was good. Our review is for the Old School, Newton on the Moor.

Bar staff were very helpful and friendly they went above and beyond their role.
Staff were brilliant and as taxis were busy as we attended an event staff ensured that all guest shared taxis where possible.
Staff also advised of meeting points and places for food and drinks... This is one of the friendliest hotels we have stayed in and would most certainly return .

There is no doubt that the major league arrival of top prospect Shelby Miller was more anticipated than the comparable debut of Joe Kelly. Yet the latter not only reached St. Louis first, he made an unexpected and major contribution to the present – the success of the 2012 St. Louis Cardinals. Miller's relatively brief introduction was all about the future. As such, Kelly's debut trumped Miller's in this countdown, 16 to 17. After all, Kelly stepped in for Jaime Garcia and later, Lance Lynn, making 16 starts and eight relief appearances while logging a very respectable 3.53 ERA. He had never pitched in the majors before. The Cardinals had selected Kelly in the third round of the 2009 First-Year Draft. The right-hander was an All-American closer at Cal-Riverside. As with all their top pitching prospects, the Cardinals made Kelly a starter in the minors. Like so many others who pitched for the 2012 Memphis Redbirds, Kelly suffered from a lack of run support. At the time of his pro...

Each time I try to instantiate a page, the server triggers an assertion in PythonServletFactory, complaining that my page is no subclass of the class "Servlet". The page is subclassed from SidebarPage - same as e.g. Listbox.py. It seems to me that the problem is caused by the fact that the directory which contains the file is somewhere else, but I'm not quite sure how to track down the bug :-( I'm using linux and apache for development; the servers are connected with apache.

Our plan is simple. Purchase the most tickets and maximize the odds of winning a major prize at a lower individual cost.
We play and win together.
No one is left behind and you are welcome to join our lottery syndicate.
Have you ever wondered why people who play on each draw don't win most of the time?
Because the odds of winning with one or two tickets played on each draw is significantly lesser compared to using their money collectively and patiently in a single draw.
This is why playing in a syndicate makes sense with 1 in 5 top prizes across Lotto, EuroMillions and EuroMillions UK Millionaire Maker won by syndicates.
We can maximize the chances of winning something by three logical method:
a) Buying a ticket.
We have to be in it to win it.
b) Playing only on special draws with more than one millionaire "guaranteed to be made".
There have been millionaire raffles happening such as the EuroMillions MegaFriday draws which guarantees 5 or 10 millionaires to be made in single draw. This certainly increases the odds of winning big prizes per ticket bought.
c) Playing less often, but buying more.
Instead of buying tickets every week, we will save up our funds and use it to buy tickets on special occasions. This maximizes our returns without increasing our financial risk.
We therefore patiently wait, gradually save our funds and use the money when our chances are better (such as when there are more than 5 millionaire raffles).

Sony Claims Against TPV, Innolux to Be Investigated
Sony Corp.'s patent-infringement claims against TPV Technology Ltd. and Innolux Display Corp. will be investigated by a U.S. trade agency that may bar imports of the two companies' computer monitors if a violation is found.
The U.S. International Trade Commission in Washington said today it would consider Sony's claims that digital televisions and monitors made in China are infringing 10 Sony patents. The complaint also names ViewSonic Corp., based in Walnut, California, which sells the electronics.
TPV and Innolux "have never taken a license to the asserted patents from Sony," the Tokyo-based company said in the complaint. "Their products are not covered by any license under the Sony patents."
TPV, based in Hong Kong, is the world's largest contract maker of computer monitors and reported $2.5 billion in North American revenue in 2008, according to court filings. The TPV products targeted by Sony's complaint are sold under the Envision, AOC, HP, Dell, Acer, Lenovo, Asus and ViewSonic names.
Innolux merged with Chi Mei Optoelectronics Corp. last month to become Chimei Innolux Corp., Taiwan's biggest liquid-crystal display panel maker. The Innolux monitors are sold under the Dell, HP, Acer, ViewSonic and Lenovo names. None of the computer makers, including Hewlett-Packard Co. or Dell Inc., were named in the ITC complaint.
Los Angeles Lawsuit
Sony filed a patent-infringement lawsuit against ViewSonic and TPV last year in federal court in Los Angeles over the same patents. In a Feb. 22 filing in the case, TPV denied infringing the patents and said they are invalid. ViewSonic made similar claims.
Sony, in its ITC complaint, said any import ban wouldn't affect models made on behalf of companies that already have licenses to the patents. Sony makes Bravia televisions, Cyber-shot cameras and the PlayStation 3 video-game system.
The case is In the Matter of Certain Display Devices, 337-713, U.S. International Trade Commission (Washington). The civil case is Sony Corp. v. ViewSonic Corp., 09cv7698, U.S. District Court, Central District of California (Los Angeles).

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Back in December of 2001, DC Comics came up with an interesting stunt – they would have almost all their superhero titles all have the same cover motif of having the title of the book worked into the cover artwork, so that there would be no logo needed. Some books did a really nice job of doing so, some did not as good of a job. In either event, it is certainly a fun thing to look at, so enjoy!
Hope you had fun checking these out! I hope it blocked your snark for awhile!
Wow, I really thought it would be some kind of ratio of 50/50 good and bad, but those covers were actually overwhelmingly great. Only a few bad ones in the bunch. They should make that an annual stunt.
I agree. A few that didn't work so well. but great overall.
Some of those are really cool.
Does anyone know who drew the Birds of Prey cover? I really dig that one.
And what book was the manga Superman?
Agree, lots to like here.
Amused by how the Batman cover kinda looks like he has Dark Claw's… claws. I'm assuming those are just batarangs.
The BIRDS OF PREY cover was by Phil Noto. I miss when he used to do that's book's covers — all good stuff.
And the manga-esque Superman was SUPERMAN — I think that's the issue where Loeb introducesd the current boy Toyman.
I had no idea DeZago and 'Ringo had done a Batman: Black and White story.
I really like the Supergirl one, where the title is in ASL.
quite a lot of really clever ones there, but for some reason i find myself most intrigued by the sign language on the Supergirl cover and the Interlac on the Legion.
i'd definitely love to see more stuff like this in the future.
I love the Darwyn Cooke Batman Adventures cover!
That Batman cover gets serious bonus points for using one of the best Batman logos ever as well as working it into the cover in a cool fashion. Really, though, there are a lot of great, clever ones to choose from here. Excellent choice of snark blocker.
I like those cover events – they don't impact the interiors in the slightest!
I actually laughed out loud at that last wonder woman one. CHEATERS!
Actually I take it back, I wouldn't want this to be an annual gimmicky. Frequency would probably make the quality go down as people started running out of good ideas. But still, a lot of inspired work here.
Did Marvel ever do this?
If so, will we get to see this in another snark blocker coverage?
That was really cool. I'd love to see more of this. Not necessarily as a company-wide mandate, but here & there. Free up the cover artists a bit and encourage their creativity. Letting it be at the artist's inspiration, subject to editorial approval, would be likely to increase the number of ones that "worked".
JLA was jaw-dropping. My favorite cover ever (stated without looking at other favorite covers).
The only other 'cover' event I can remember from DC was the one where it was the "All Closeup" month. All the covers featured a head shot of a cast member from the book.
I really like the Supergirl one, where the title is in ASL.
Yeah, that one's definitely my favorite. Very clever.
I thought the Legion one was rather clever, and then I got to the Supergirl one — wow. I wonder if it still works if you don't know how to finger-spell?
All of the Batman covers!
The '60s logo!
Two "Spirit" homages!
Cassaday (right?)!
A lot of other good ones in there, but the Batbooks are killing me.
And McCrea! I had to look that one up – it almost felt a little like Breyfogle to me.
Did Marvel ever do this?
last time i remember Marvel doing anything like this was that month that all the titles were silent… that was pretty cool.
The Detective Comics cover is the best of the bunch, I think.
Ok, the Nightwing cover was totally awesome.
What a great idea! Wish more comics would try something like this. Some very creative covers here, really loved the Detective Comics especially.
I love Impulse's take on the Flash cover.
Does anybody find it scary how many of DC's titles back then were Super or Bat related? (I realize it probably hasn't gotten much better, but geez.)
You know, I remember that silent month of Marvel.
Not every book did that, but most did.
I love the Legion cover in Interlac and the sign language Supergirl cover.
I actually find it interesting how many of the characters with their own titles in 2001 are dead or changed:
Superboy – Dead
Impulse – Dead
Supergirl – Replaced & possibly retconned out
Spectre – Hal back as GL, Crispus Allen is the new host
Azrael – presumed dead. May be replaced by Mark Shaw
Doom Patrol – Rebooted & then un-rebooted
Legion – Rebooted
As to the other titles:
Superman – Cancelled
Adventures of Superman – Retitled back to Superman
Superman Man of Steel – Cancelled
Batgirl – Cancelled
Batman: Gotham Knights – Cancelled
Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight – Cancelled
Flash – Temporarilay Cancelled and replaced with Flash:FMA
Green Arrow – Cancelled and replaced with Green Arrow/Black Canary
Green Lantern – Cancelled and replaced with new #1 starring Hal Jordan
Harley Quinn – Cancelled
JLA – Cancelled and replaced with Justice League of America (essentially a new #1
JSA – Cancelled and replaced with Justice Society of America (essentially a new #1)
Orion – Cancelled and New Gods currently being killed off
Spectre – Cancelled
Suicide Squad – Cancelled, currently a mini-series
The Titans – Cancelled.
Wonder Woman – New #1
Young Justice – Cancelled to make way for Teen Titans
I think only Action, Detective, Batman, Nightwing, and Birds of Prey are the only titles that haven't been cancelled/interrupted/renumbered.
People were wondering if the Sook "Death of the Flash" cover was an homage. I'd completely forgotten about that Suicide Squad cover! Thanks for clearing it up!
"All Closeup" did not always feature a cast member of the book. Case in point? Skornn (sp?) in the Superman titles.
There are apparently much more than two Spirit homages. Azrael, Batgirl, Superboy, JLA, and 'Tec are the clearest examples of cover homages, but some of the others, such as Harley for example, are possibly close enough for consideration.
And yes, Nightwing is teh awesome.
As I recall, Marvel's silent month and DC's Full Coverage month were the same month.
" thought the Legion one was rather clever, and then I got to the Supergirl one — wow. I wonder if it still works if you don't know how to finger-spell?"
Enough of her name is visible on the banner to make it decipherable (and having the main character(s) prominently visible on the covers was a good idea in general, since you can make a guess which title it is even if you can't see the whole thing). I remember that issue had a fair amount of ASL in the interior as well.
Only the Legion cover strikes me as a bad one, since the title is poorly duplicated.
I think my favorite may be the Gotham Adventures one, simply because Bane is holding up a blank sheet of paper for the price and bar code. Detective Comics was good to, with the signature on the comics shop sign.
Wow. That was 7 years ago… At once it seems so close and yet so far away as well.
That was a pretty cool stunt and it reminds me of some of the really beautiful DC covers of the late 1960s. I think that was when Infantino was put in charge of the line's covers and they all sort of were high-concept for a while. Remember the one with Blockbuster smashing a stone Batman logo with Bats on top of it?
Yeah, it would be nice if DC and Marvel put as much thought into their covers every week/month.
People were wondering if the Sook "Death of the Flash†cover was an homage. I'd completely forgotten about that Suicide Squad cover! Thanks for clearing it up!
Wow… I hadn't seen that one before. There'd been a lot of talk (including from DC) about it referring back to the Stupendous Triumph of the Seven Super-Villains (Flash #174) cover, but that looks incredibly similar, down to the arm hanging down over the title. I'm going to have to add a note on that to my site.
I think my favorite may be the Gotham Adventures one, simply because Bane is holding up a blank sheet of paper for the price and bar code.
AHHHHHHH, I was wondering why that was blank! Nice catch!
Wow, those are some cool covers. Why don't they do stuff like that more often?
[…] Back in December of 2001, DC Comics came up with an interesting stunt – they would have almost all their superhero titles all have the same cover motif of having the title of the book worked into the cover artwork, so that there would be no logo needed. Some books did a really nice job of doing so, some did not as good of a job. In either event, it is certainly a fun thing to look at, so enjoy!

Marvel originated the full head shot cover during their 25th anniversary. For example, The Avengers had Black Knight's mug on it and Marvel Age had Ken Connell/Star Brand. The cover was framed by many of the popular characters at the time (including Forbush Man). I think even Marvel's imprint Star Comics did it too.
Great snark-blocker. Those covers were great and even the bad ones were nice to see.
I had an idea once…
If I were to ever start my own comic company, I would get the readers to pick what format the annuals would be in. For one year, they could be in 3D and the next year, they could all have connecting covers, etc.
I wouldn't mind seeing some company pick up that idea and use it.
Two Bolland covers, Darwyn Cooke, Olivier Coipel, Ryan Sook, Walt Simonson, Adam Hughes…
Top, top level work by all of these guys. It's like the freedom of the assignment really sparked some creativity.
I thought the Legion one was rather clever, and then I got to the Supergirl one — wow. I wonder if it still works if you don't know how to finger-spell?
Yes, it does, because, the name of the comic is also on the banner hanging on the wall, in the background. I didn't even notice that the kids were signing at first, and it was still one of my favorites for utilizing "real" elements. ( i.e. the banner- as opposed to some of the others just spelling out the name in a different way.)
Funny – I own several of these issues, but I don't think I ever realized they were part of an official theme month.
"I like those cover events – they don't impact the interiors in the slightest!"
No, they don't, but that doesn't mean they're any less annoying than any other company mandated event.
Take that beautiful LOTDK cover up there. Sure, it looks great, but when you're holding all five parts to that storyline in your hands at once, one of them is going to look like it doesn't belong.
By the by, this event DID affect the interiors of the stories a bit. DC tried to make as many of these comics "one-off" stories as they could, as they wanted the event to also work as a bit of a "jumping on point" thing, as well.
No, they don't, but that doesn't mean they're any less annoying than any other company mandated event.

Ah who cares!
That was fun! The best was Detective Comics. They should do something like that more often.
"The only other 'cover' event I can remember from DC was the one where it was the "All Closeup†month. All the covers featured a head shot of a cast member from the book."
That was another great concept. My favorite was the Superman: Man of Steel cover with Clark Kent reading an issue of The Daily Planet. Great, sly cover.
Any chance we can see these too, Brian?
I much prefer this kind of creative, thematic linking rather than something like blacking out half the cover and put the words Civil War across it.
And Scorn was a regular cast member of the Superman books during that time period. Not a great member, but a member nonetheless.

It may be the fiercest rivalry in baseball history, with the possible exception of Peter Gammons and Bobby V.
The Yankees and Red Sox? The Giants and Dodgers? The Cubs and Cardinals? Nah, I'm talking about the Seattle Mariners and the San Diego Padres, a rivalry that extends all the way back to the late '90s.
"You're asking me for the ugliest moment in the Padres-Mariners rivalry?'' Seattle pitching coach Bryan Price joked. "For a question like that, you're going to have to call me at least a week in advance.''
When baseball started scheduling home-and-home series between designated interleague "rivals,'' it matched the Yankees and the Mets, the Cubs and the White Sox and ... the Mariners and the Padres, who are located more than a thousand miles apart, had never played each other until interleague play began and are such hated rivals that they contentedly share the same spring training facility in Peoria, Ari.
How bad is the blood between these two teams? Let's see. There's the annual shared Fanfest day in spring training when the Mariners and the Padres hold their workouts on the same field in Peoria. "One time they went first and we had to go second,'' Price said. "The audacity of those guys. For them to think we should go second.''
Them's fightin' words, no doubt about it.
And that isn't all. There also was the game when ... ummmmmm, errr ... well, let me think about that some more.
OK, there was the time the Swinging Friar mascot and the Mariners Moose exchanged some very mean glares. Or at least, I think they exchanged mean glares. It was hard to tell given that they wear giant costumed heads with big goofy grins.
"Rumor has it that the Swinging Friar once exchanged some verbal jousts with the Moose, trying to goad him into doing something he doesn't want to do,'' Price said. "You can only push the Moose so far before he snaps. And then it gets ugly.''
Are we being a little ridiculous? Perhaps. But not as ridiculous as the interleague schedule with its forced interleague rivalries. They're so ridiculous that I actually find myself agreeing with -- gasp! -- George Steinbrenner. Or at least, partially agreeing. Interleague play doesn't handicap the Yankees -- not when they get six games against the Mets -- but it does ruin the integrity of the schedule.
Just look at the AL West. The Mariners play six games against the "rival'' Padres, who are the worst team in the National League, while the Athletics play six against the first-place Giants and the Angels play six against the second-place Dodgers. As Steinbrenner might say: How is that right?
"Everything is cyclical,'' Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "Everyone talks about the Padres, and maybe they're struggling right now but did people want to play them in 1998? It's cyclical and at some point it all comes around.
"I don't think it's a major impact. If you're a good club, you'll work your way through a tough schedule. If you look at us last year, I think we probably had the toughest schedule of anyone and we played through it. If you play at a high enough level, you'll be able to overcome it.''
That's all very true. The game is cyclical. And there will be a season when the Mariners complain about playing the Padres. But teams should not have schedules so different from their rivals than that they must be "overcome.'' And the bottom line is this. Whether it is the Mariners or Yankees or Astros who benefits in any particular season, in every year division rivals will play significantly different schedules because of designated rivals and interleague play.
The AL East is supposed to be matched against the NL Central this year, but the Red Sox are playing six games against NL East teams. They and the Yankees play only six interleague games against common opponents.
How is any of that right? If the entire point of an unbalanced schedule is to make the division races more meaningful, don't you render them less meaningful by having the division rivals play different schedules?
Interleague play is of questionable value -- the low attendance figures from the past two weeks are a good indication that fans are bored by the idea -- but if baseball insists on continuing it, teams in the same division must share the same schedules as much as possible. At the very least, cut the designated rivals back to one series per summer. It may rob fans of three Padres-Mariners games, but that's the sacrifice we all must make for the benefit of the game.
In the meantime, the Mariners and Padres must work on an appropriate trophy for the winner of their season series. You know, like the Old Oaken Bucket or Paul Bunyan's Axe or the Floyd of Rosedale.
"Maybe it should have something to do with Orca whales, because we have Orcas up here and they have them at SeaWorld. ... '' Mariners president Chuck Armstrong said. "Maybe we could have Free Willy and move him back and forth.''
Boxscore line of the week
The Yankees had gone 45 years without getting no-hit, which not only was the longest streak in baseball, it was so long that the Yankees evidently determined that it was against the rules for them to be no-hit. After all, following Houston's six-pitcher no-hitter last Wednesday, the Yankees gave zero credit to the Astros for this amazing turn of events.
height=80 align=right border=0>
height=80 align=right border=0>
"This is one of the worst games I've ever been involved in,'' manager Joe Torre told reporters. "It was a total, inexcusable performance. ... Whatever kind of history it was, it was terrible.''
"It should be embarrassing,'' Derek Jeter said. "If you're not embarrassed, something's wrong with you.''
"It was awful,'' Jorge Posada said.
Ummmm, guys. Maybe it wasn't all Yankees ineptitude. Maybe those Astros pitchers had something to do with it. And rather than focus on the negative, perhaps New York should be proud that they're so good it took six pitchers to no-hit them.
Not that Steinbrenner was seeing that way, complaining that "their manager kind of rubbed it in on our guys, one reliever after another.''
Well, we're here to salute the Astros with this week's award. The question is, when six pitchers combine on a no-hitter, who do you single out? In this case, Octavio Dotel, who had the most extraordinary performance on an extraordinary night. He pitched one inning and still struck out four batters thanks to a dropped third strike. His line:
Lie, damn lies and statistics
Congratulations to Roger Clemens for joining the exclusive 300-Win Club and the even more exclusive 4,000-Strikeout Club in the same game. But he's wrong on which cap he should wear on his Hall of Fame plaque. It speaks more of animosity between Clemens and one former Boston executive than career accomplishments. Those two world championships with the Yankees are nice, but the Rocket pitched 15 seasons and won 223 games and five Cy Young Awards before he ever reached New York. Just as it overruled Gary Carter's desire to wear a Mets cap, the Hall of Fame should have Clemens go in wearing a Red Sox cap, his team for 13 big-league seasons. ... There were 107 no-hitters thrown between the Yankees no-hitters, including 10 against the Giants. ... With his home run Monday night, John Olerud joined Dave Winfield as the only players since the draft started in 1965 to reach 2,000 hits without ever playing a day in the minor leagues. ... Carlos Delgado already has 76 RBI. The Tigers entire starting lineup Sunday had 120.
From left field
After two years and three teams, Ted Williams' son, John Henry, finally got his first professional hit over the weekend at age 34. But what's the best father-son combination in baseball history? Is it the Bonds or the Griffey's? Or the multi-generational Boone's and Bell's?
"It's a very vague question,'' Bret Boone said, "but all I'll say is that I'm very proud of my family. And we'll see where we stand after I'm done and Aaron is done. And after my son is done.''
Which is the best father-son combination in baseball history? Consider these candidates:

Don't be afraid of making this recipe with the long list of ingredients. The biscuits are sooooooo good, tender and flakey and full of hot, cheesy flavor. I'll make those again to use for other recipes! I used turkey and vegetable broth for the chili, and cut the recipe in half. It turned out great and we are looking forward to a meal of leftovers tonight. It was a fun recipe to make Evelyn; and a good payback.
I substituted Buffalo meat because I like it better than Beef, and its much leaner (more lean?) It worked out well. I also threw in some Cayenne Pepper but I'm not sure if it helped or not. Good recipe but I think the onions overpower the meat. I wonder how it would go with black beans instead of kidney beans.
I have only made the Chedder/Jalepeno buscuits...they are awesome with Chili!
I have not made the chili, but I have made the shortcakes several times. I have needed to adjust the ingredients a little each time--to feel v to measurement--but they are always flaky and delicious. They're a little dry which makes them perfect for sopping up soups and chilis.
Very nice. I have been making chili for years and this recipe made for some high compliments, which I am delighted to pass on.

NBC Los Angeles Should Have Maybe Known Christians Don't Think Bill Murray Is Actually a 'Murderer of Lambs'
The popular TV station fell victim to a hoax.
TV station NBC LA was naturally delighted when it came across a purported Christian news website that said actor Bill Murray is not only "a weak man" but also "a murderer of lambs, a despicable hedonist who waves the white flag welcoming the end of American moral and economic primacy" and "a harbinger of our death as a culture." Of course, had they looked further into the site to find stories like "Mexican Zombie Flu Raises Black Rapper 'Tupac' From the Dead," they may have realized it was a gag. [Atlantic Wire]

Beautiful Place - felt like home!
February 19, 2016
What a place! It is beautiful and the view! We were a group that came up and snowmobiled. The house was perfect for us and accommodated all very well. The kitchen was stocked with all the necessities of home. The owners left a detailed map on how to find the trail. ..which was a great help! Definitely will book this place again!

What an amazing vacation! The cabin was beautiful ! The owners were so wonderful to work with. Anything and everything was there at our disposal, from life jackets for us as well as 1 for our 2 year old grandson to chairs to sit at by the campfire. There was enough towels for everyone to use, an extra set of sheets for the beds. We had a minor problem with the key getting in, but Sheila went above and beyond to try and fix it by reserving a room at the local hotel! We can not say enough about how wonderful she and her cabin were! My wife and I don't fish, but our 11 and 12 year old girls wanted to try it out and they were so happy to catch fish( small ones). That made it even better for all. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone, if it was a family of 4 to a family of 10 there is plenty of room

Our stay was fantastic! The pictures online do not do this home justice. The home was roomy for our two families traveling together and we left completely relaxed. What do teenage kids do without wifi? They fish, kayak, play games outside and even created some new games. While this is really up north...there are several other towns near by if you are looking to shop or do tourist type things. The home owners were very easy to work with and I am grateful they shared their beautiful home with us. P.S. If you are looking for a great fish fry on Friday nights...try the Redman. Also stop out at Bents camp...very unique bar/restaurant.

Had a great stay in a beautiful home and lake. From here we made the hour drive up to the U.P. to check out some waterfalls and enjoyed other attractions of the North-woods. Ready to check out of work life and go back to the peacefulness.

Sheila, Thank you so very much for sharing your beautiful home with us. Our first impression was WOW!!!!! We had fantastic fishing, large perch and they even bit when it was cloudy!!! Our grandson caught his first northern pike and was he ever proud. Everything about your place was wonderful, the pontoon boat, the deck, the interior was spectacular. No mosquitoes, but the red squirrels sure enjoyed the popcorn. Lasting memories were had by all and my grandchildren said it perfectly--THIS WAS THE BEST PLACE EVER.
Beutiful Area and Home

Beutiful Area and Home
June 30, 2014
First, Sheila was very nice to deal, with and answered all my questions prior to our trip. She was extremely prompt with the contract and all details for booking their home. Next, the house is beutiful. Very nicely done and very comfortable. We had 6 people and stayed very comfortably. Everthing was there that you will need. The basement area is still being finished, but it wasn't a probelm to stay in the bedroom down there. I'm sure it will be very nice when it is done. The scenery was also beutiful. Enjoyed Bald Eagles, Blue Herrons, Otters, Turtles, Deer and fishing. If fishing is why you're there though, Landing Lake is not the place. Caught some Perch and a couple nice Northern and a whole lot of Bull Heads. I'd recommend that you just keep the boat on the trailer and head to the Eagle Chain to do your fishing. It's only a 17 mile drive from the Cabin and it's world class fishing. Another reason to keep your boat on the trailer is because you might not get your boat back out of the lake. The "landing" is make-shift consisting of some cement slabs laid in the water and I had to go through a lot of work to get my boat in the water and it was almost impossible to get it back on the trialer and out of the water. I only have a 16' Bass Boat and it almost stayed up there. That landing might work for Pontoon Boats that don't have to get set so deep in the water, but a V Hull boat like mine or bigger does not work on that "landing". There are also no public landings and surprisingly only one other make-shift landing at a neighbors property that I found and that I almost ended up having to use. Kind of ironic for a lake called "Landing". Overall, we had a very nice time and enjoyed the home, town and establishments there very much. It was very relaxin and was close enough to Eagle River and Minocqua to drive there and enjoy those towns as well. Oh, last thing, and I know the owners have no controll over this one, but the Mosquitos up there are the size of flying Chihuahua's and they number in the tens of thousands. Worst I've ever seen. If you were up on the deck of the house, it wasn't too bad, but if you were on the ground, it was terrible. Thanks so much for letting us enjoy your home.

The house was very nice. Its a beautiful log cabin and the view of the lake is very pretty. Caught some fish but not a lot. It was very quiet and peaceful. It's a long drive to Eagle River from there but the town of Land O Lakes is nice and has everything you need. I would recommend this place for families but it's not good for anyone who has problems with stairs. The house had everything and you really didn't need to bring a thing. It would be helpful if the owners would post some rules and directions for renters so they know what to do about bedding, garbage etc.

We rented the log home on the lake and had a great relaxing time. The location was great. We were looking for some quiet down time and this was perfect. We were able to go boating, fishing, and just enjoy the water. The house is really great. Everything you need is there and the view on the lake is wonderful. We had 6-7 people there and had plenty of room.

Heaven on Landing Lake
June 22, 2013
My family of 4 just came home from a beautiful week at this lovely lakefront property. The home is exceptional in handcrafted details and unending amenities. To start the location is ideal being minutes from Land O'Lakes, and only 20 minutes from Eagle River. The options of fishing lakes is endless within short driving distance, not to mention the lake right out your backdoor. Our family enjoyed kayaking on the water, watching the beavers, and loons and even the adventures of turtles coming onshore to lay nest of eggs in the driveway. The house is like a 5 star resort with a waterfall shower and body spray, an excellent kitchen setup with everything you need to cook (which I love to cook so my critical needs were met), and a dishwasher. I must also mention having a washer/dryer available was very handy for rain soaked clothing. Our children really enjoyed the open loft outfitted with 3 full size beds. The king size bed in the bedroom off the bath was perfect for my husband and I. There is an additional bedroom in the basement with another fullsize, and twinsize beds. We also enjoyed the use of the outdoor fire pit, and the grill on the very spacious deck. The place was quiet and peaceful. We cannot say enough good (in case you can't tell from my rambling rave review). Thank you Sheila for sharing your magnificent property with us!!

Consider a finite ring $R$ with identity. If every left ideal of $R$ is two-sided then is it true that any right ideal of $R$ is also two-sided !?
Yes. For each $x\in R$ let $a(x)$ and $b(x)$ be the number of $y$ such that $xy=0$ and the number of $y$ such that $yx=0$, respectively. These are also the orders of the groups $R/xR$ and $R/Rx$.
For every $x$ the left ideal $Rx$ is a right ideal containing $x$ and therefore contains $xR$, whence $b(x)\le a(x)$. On the other hand the sum of $a(x)$ over all $x$ is clearly the same as the sum of $b(x)$ (both are the number of pairs $(x,y)$ such that $xy=0$). Therefore $a(x)=b(x)$ and $Rx=xR$. This shows that $xR$ is a left ideal for every $x$, and it follows that every right ideal is a left ideal.

A tracheostomy (trach) tube is a curved tube that is inserted into a tracheostomy stoma (the hole made in the neck and windpipe (Trachea)). There are different types of tracheostomy tubes that vary in certain features for different purposes. These are manufactured by different companies. However, a specific type of tracheostomy tube will be the same no matter which company manufactures them.
A commonly used tracheostomy tube consists of three parts: outer cannula with flange (neck plate), inner cannula, and an obturator. The outer cannula is the outer tube that holds the tracheostomy open. A neck plate extends from the sides of the outer tube and has holes to attach cloth ties or velcro strap around the neck. The inner cannula fits inside the outer cannula. It has a lock to keep it from being coughed out, and it is removed for cleaning. The obturator is used to insert a tracheostomy tube. It fits inside the tube to provide a smooth surface that guides the tracheostomy tube when it is being inserted.
There are different types of tracheostomy tubes available and the patient should be given the tube that best suits his/her needs. The frequency of these tube changes will depend on the type of tube and may possibly alter during the winter or summer months. Practitioners should refer to specialist practitioners and/or the manufacturers for advice.
