Bill Harkins '16 ~ Pray, Hope, Don't Worry
After a distinguished career with the Marines spanning two decades, Bill Harkins returned to his hometown of Mobile, Ala., ready to pursue the next chapter in his life.
A Bronze Star and four-time Meritorious Service Medal recipient, Harkins earned his master's degree in public administration while in the military. When he retired from the Marines as a lieutenant colonel in 2006, this knowledge, combined with his exemplary leadership and organizational skills, led to a position as CitiSmart coordinator, and most recently, executive director of public services, for the City of Mobile.
Despite his responsibilities and busy schedule, Harkins felt compelled to continue his education, this time at Spring Hill College in the department of theology. He graduated from SHC with a Master of Theological Studies in 2012, a certificate in spiritual direction in 2013, and anticipates completing his Master of Arts in Theology in 2016.
"I wanted to pursue graduate studies because I knew I was called to be a permanent deacon in the Mobile Archdiocese," says Harkins. "Spring Hill College was the perfect place to do that, because of the small class sizes and the personal interest professors have for students here. I have told many people that my Christian faith has been greatly broadened and deepened due to my education at SHC."
Harkins manages his career, school, and a personal life by balancing coursework with family time, praying daily, and ensuring that he puts his relationship with God first. He also attributes his success as a student and enjoyment of his courses to the incredible support he's received from every instructor at Spring Hill.
"Dr. Matthew Bagot's course on Catholic Social Teaching has helped me understand how to apply our faith to our interaction with society," says Harkins. "Also, I respect and admire Dr. Christopher Dodsworth—his energy and willingness to assist his students are great."
Dr. Dodsworth, department chair of philosophy at Spring Hill College, worked with Harkins on an independent study course that centered on the subjects of prayer and suffering. Dr. Dodsworth noted that Harkins is not only a student serious about his academic study, but also a person who will use what he's learned in the department of theology to help those he serves.
"We worked through some difficult material on the nature of suffering; what it would take to defeat it; the nature of love and personal relationships; and, finally, a Thomistic account of how relationship with God can be enhanced through suffering," says Dr. Dodsworth. "Through all of this, Bill leveraged his experience serving in the marines and also as a deacon in the church to take what was sometimes very abstract theological material and make it spiritual, practical, and pastoral."
During his time at SHC, and prior to graduate school, Harkins also published several articles in nationally distributed magazines on the topics of training, stress, prayer, and working with unfamiliar cultures. For much of his writing and his homilies, Harkins draws upon insights gained in theology and spirituality over the past few years at Spring Hill. He also taps into his experience as deacon for St. Ignatius Catholic Church in Mobile, as a member of Leadership Mobile's class of 2008, and as a marine and military police officer in the United States, Afghanistan, the Far East, and Europe.
Harkins' personal philosophy for happiness is simple, and borrowed from St. Padre Pio. "He said, 'Pray, Hope, Don't Worry,' which is easier said than done," says Harkins. "I also follow St. Ignatius' Spiritual Exercises and way of prayer that I try to apply daily to all facets of my life and teach others as a deacon and as a Christian in the world."
Upon graduation in 2016, Harkins plans to continue working for the citizens of Mobile in his current role and serving his parishioners as their deacon. He is also helping form the next class of deacon candidates in the Archdiocese of Mobile, where his education from Spring Hill College will prove invaluable.
"I am eager to share what I've gained in the classroom and in prayer while at Spring Hill with these men and their wives as they discern whether or not the vocation of permanent deacon is what God is calling them to," says Harkins. "Juggling the family, prayer, work, and study schedule has been challenging for me. I couldn't do it without the prayers and strong support I receive from my family, friends in St. Ignatius parish, the professors and staff at SHC and the folks I work with. These men and their families will be in similar situations and I hope to help them develop their own methods for handling the challenge."
Harkins relaxes by reading and painting landscapes. He and his wife, Maria, enjoy movies and chasing after their three dogs. Their daughter, Savannah, is a college freshman.

Going To An Out-Of-State Wedding? Here's One Less Thing To Worry About
Finding a date, buying a present (or series of presents), and then booking your flights, hotels, and rental car…so much to plan and do (and spend on) for every wedding (and there are so many, around this time of year). And all of that doesn't even take into account the whole what-to-wear decision.
Between making sure your dress doesn't get wrecked en route (seriously, who owns a fancy travel garment bag?), having to steam it in your hotel room, and dry cleaning it after you return… sometimes you feel like the only thing you have the energy to wear to an out-of-state wedding is pajamas.
Not so fast — our friends at Rent the Runway made us feel like total boneheads when they pointed out that their dress rental service is basically made for situations like this. Pick out the dress you want from their web site, schedule a delivery to your hotel, all pressed and ready, and then stuff your worn dress in a pre-stamped return envelope, and drop it back off at the front desk when you're done — and they'll take care of the rest! The service works at all locations in the continental U.S. (sorry, Hawaii-bound guests still need to shlep their things themselves).
Proenza Schouler Dakota Dress, $400 rental, retails for $3,450, available at Rent the Runway ; BCBG Max Azria Salsa Verde Gown, $100 rental, retails for $298, available at Rent The Runway; Lela Rose Feather Painted Sheath, $100 rental, retails for $1,095, available at Rent the Runway.

Proof Denim Will Always Matter
When we think about buying denim, we often think about fit and wash.

To understand why prices have gotten so high, it's important to know ...

What was your source for this quilting project?
Online Photo or Website
Name of website or photo Fat Quarter Chevron Table Runner
What are you most proud of? Learning to make mitered corners on odd angles, and adding the appliqued heart!
What advice would you give someone starting this project? The directions call for 3 fat quarters but you actually end up wasting some fabric. If you don't have fat quarters, just sketch out the cutting dimensions and buy yardage. It's a fun, easy project that goes together well and looks more challenging!
Very classy!

If there is any diabetes takeaway at all from this blog, it is that I cannot stress enough the importance of getting your eyes examined on a regular basis. Don't be fooled into thinking that just because you have no symptoms, that everything is fine.
Read Whole Story
This past week 11 clinicians and medical students in the Red Sea country of Djibouti received training and began a 3-month pilot program to perform tests to detect Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), a degeneration of the lining of the eye, often associated with diabetes.
These common eye problems can be either cured or curbed if caught early by a eyecare professional. Keeping up with your regular eye doctor appointments is the best way you can ensure healthy vision for years to come.
This World Sight Day, I encourage everyone to support eye health programs benefiting those in the U.S. and around the world so that we can eliminate this unnecessary and costly barrier to education, economic growth and a better quality of life for all.
True or false: I can see well, so my eyes are healthy. If you answered "true," then you're one of millions who believe in this common eye health myth.

worrying about debt
Kerry O'Brien: "Lindsay Tanner, you said today that the Government's debt position, after all its big stimulus spending, is like a person who earns $100,000 a year taking out a $5,000 loan. If that's all it is, why are you losing sleep? I would have thought you could probably take out another $5,000."
Bill Mitchell helps him out
There is no analogy between a person who earns x and takes out a smaller loan y. The Federal government does not have to finance its spending and can issue debt up until the markets decline to purchase any more of it.
There is much more.
It's good.

Fitzroy Yachts NZ triumphs at the World Superyacht Awards
by Media Services on 10 May 2011
Zefira, the pride of Fitzroy Yachts. Fitzroy Yachts
Fitzroy Yachts have enjoyed a very successful night at the sixth annual World Superyacht Awards, taking out two Neptune Awards for the superlative sailing superyacht, Zefira.
On 7th May 2011, the superyacht industry's finest gathered in the magnificent surroundings of London's Guildhall for the most glamorous and anticipated event in the yachting calendar – the sixth annual World Superyacht Awards.
Combining a glittering awards ceremony with a gala dinner and dance, the Awards – dubbed the 'Oscars' of the superyacht world – were attended by an more than 500 superyacht owners from around the globe and the most influential players in the superyacht industry.
Zefira, built by Fitzroy Yachts, received not one but two prized silver Neptunes for 'Best Sailing Yacht in 45m+ category' and 'Sailing Yacht of the Year'.
Zefira's European owner's had a dream to create not only a world-class yacht, but a work of art. Their courage, passion and vision, together with a world renowned team including Dubois Naval Architects, Remi Tessier, and Fitzroy Yachts have created a true masterpiece that has now been recognised as one of the great superyachts of the world.
The Dubois designed vessel was built to exceptional quality levels which continue the yards reputation for building award winning superyachts. Powered by a Caterpillar C32 1450 bhp main engine and a Hundested variable pitch propeller, the propulsion system provides long range motor sailing abilities. The 56 meter 'light weight' carbon fiber sailing rig was supplied by Southern Spars, and the sails inventory provided by North Sails.
Nineteen coveted Neptune Awards, three Chihuly artworks designed especially for the occasion and five Judges' Commendation prizes by Baccarat were awarded to the winners on the night.
The night's big winners were:
Motor Yacht of the Year, sponsored by Camper & Nicholsons International, went jointly to 162.50m Eclipse, by Blohm and Voss and styled by Terence Disdale Design and 50m Exuma, built by Pichiotti/Perini Navi and designed by Philippe Briand.
Sailing Yacht of the Year, sponsored by Dream Ship Victory, went to 49.70m Zefira, built by Fitzroy Yachts and designed by Dubois Naval Architects.
The Voyager's Award, sponsored by Porto Montenegro, was awarded to the owners of the 46m expedition yacht Dione Sky, whose route drew a figure of eight around both North and South America and crossed both the Arctic and Antarctic Circles.
The Legacy Award was presented to Elizabeth E. Meyer, for her instrumental role in the restoration of the J-Class Yachts, beginning with her own 130-foot sloop Endeavour in 1983, and the founding of the International Yacht Restoration Society (IYRS) in 1993.

America's Cup - Glenn Ashby on Emirates Team NZ's road to Bermuda
Part 2 of the interview with Emirates Team NZ skipper Glenn Ashby.
In this part of the interview we look at what is going to happen once Emirates Team NZ get their 'AC49.5' sailing in Auckland, and how the campaign may shape up before they leave for Bermuda. Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Just under 11 months out from the 35th America's Cup, Team New Zealand does not seem to be in its customary place at the front of the starting grid to be the first to launch their Challenger, or are they? Although they will be one of the last of the six teams to launch an AC45 Surrogate, Emirates Team New Zealand may have stolen a march with a boat that is as close as you can get to an AC50.

Gladwell's Line - Emirates Team NZ launches shadow AC50
Emirates Team NZ took a late but significant step along the road to the 35th America's Cup, with the launch of their AC4
Emirates Team NZ took a late but significant step along the road to the 35th America's Cup, with the launch of their AC45S - as the test boats are called in the Protocol which governs the 2017 event. The bloated Protocol, which now runs to 83 pages of legalese, is restrictive on the size of boat that can be built as a test platform but doesn't restrict the number that can be built.

America's Cup - Artemis win Chicago as Team Japan wins two races
Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series got three races away on Super Sunday.
After losing the first official day of racing due to light winds and the non-arrival of the onshore breeze, Louis Vuitton America's Cup World Series got three races away on Super Sunday. From a racing perspective this was probably the best day of racing yet in the series which counts for points in the Qualifying Series of the America's Cup in 11 months time.

Division on Atmospheric Sciences (AS)
President: Annica Ekman, firstname.lastname@example.com
Deputy President: Oksana Tarasova, firstname.lastname@example.com
Atmospheric Sciences Division is one of the largest divisions in the European Geosciences Union. The research areas covered by division extend from the large-scale dynamical/meteorological processes and systems in the atmosphere (like cyclones and global atmosphere circulation) to the small scale turbulent mixing, they cover the time frame from centuries (in connection with climate research) to seconds (in the context of fast chemistry). Atmospheric Sciences include studies of the atmosphere composition, aerosol and cloud physics, gas-particles interactions and chemical reaction kinetics studied in the labs.
Obituary: Karin Labitzke (1935 – 2015)
Karin Labitzke, retired Professor in Meteorology at the Freie Universität Berlin (FUB) has passed away on the 15th of November 2015 at the age of 80 years. Karin Labitzke received the EGU Vilhelm Bjerknes medal in 2011 in recognition of her fundamental achievements in the observational study of the stratosphere and mesosphere. Through her methodological approach, where she used observations to identify previously unknown phenomena, she made many important contributions to increase our understanding of the stratosphere and mesosphere and highlighted the importance of the stratosphere for weather and climate. Altogether, the research activities of Karin Labitzke can be found in more than 250 publications as well as in the book The Stratosphere which she wrote together with her colleague and close friend Harry van Loon.
From 1970 to her retirement in 2000, Karin Labitzke was the leader of the stratospheric research group at FUB. Besides her own research, Karin Labitzke was an engaged committee member, among others she led the Committee on Space Research, was part of the Scientific Committee of Solar and Terrestrial Physics as well as member of the German Advisory Council on Global Change. Between 1991 and 1993, she was the first female chair of the German Meteorological Society. During her term she successfully reunified the two German societies. By effective third-party fundraising Karin Labitzke attracted many young scientists whom she supported with a great deal of enthusiasm. She served as a role-model for female scientists which resulted in a constant high proportion of women in her group. Many people knew and appreciated Karin Labitzke as a colleague, teacher, mentor, and friend and the memories of her will be highly cherished.

I don't like this game. It's terrible.
I totally do not like Quantum Theory. The game is terrible. Get killed easily. No life bars. No telling when you're dying. Cannot recover from damage. Controls are sluggish. Syd cannot move. Syd cannot aim. Everything.
Therefore, I made a finalized decision to call it quits without a dispute. Games like that when you die too easily from enemy attacks due to no life bar and no recovery is not good. Vanquish is among one of them. Seriously, who wants to play 3rd person shooters when you do not have a life bar, do not have a damage status, do not recover from anything.
All that answer equals "a time bomb inside the player character which will kill the character overtime before the completion of the game." Somebody explain why this game has no life bars? It's not fair. I'm just confused because these games I know had them where the screen turns red for no reason:

Medal of Honor: Vanguard

Suppose that you have a student that is bilingual. Take for example that the student speaks Chinese and English. Suppose that said student is very fluent in Chinese, but not so fluent in English. He/she can hold everyday conversations in English but he/she has a really hard time reading an English newspaper or magazine (i.e. Wall Street Journal and Times). Suppose that you are trying to teach English vocabulary to said student. Would you teach said student new English vocabulary using English words that he already knows, or would you teach said student the new English vocabulary by using translated Chinese? Is there some research that is related to such scenario? Thank you in advance.

During this holiday season, the Amarillo community has come together in an extraordinary way.
The soldiers and families of Alpha Company, 2-142nd IN, Texas National Guard, would like to extend a heartfelt "thank you" for the many contributions received over the past few weeks.
Your generosity has helped provide support for the families of the soldiers who are deploying overseas. Many people came to our aid, and we cannot do or say enough to show our gratitude. The people of Amarillo showed true compassion and support toward the soldiers and their immediate families, and that means more to us than any of you will ever know.
As our soldiers prepare to deploy, we begin to look forward to their quick and safe return.
Again, I thank Amarillo for the monetary support. You went above and beyond the call of duty. Your continued prayers and moral support will be greatly appreciated.
Wishing all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Joshua A. Long
Heart goes out to Amarillo wildlife
I look forward to driving by beautiful McDonald Lake every day and seeing the Canadian geese, ducks and majestic cranes, and the occasional fish that jumps to snatch a bug.
Now I can look forward to a dried-up pitiful lake bed with hundreds of lifeless fish. Then, all I'll ever get to see is people. People fishing, jogging, having picnics and just plain making a big mess.
Doesn't anyone care about those wonderful creatures that have made that lake their home for years?
If the city is going to spend millions draining the lake, why not spend a little more to move and relocate the wildllife? Those animals haven't done a thing wrong, nor do they understand what these fools are doing. It seems to me our city officials are not doing this for the good of the wildlife but for the benefit of people.
I applaud the people who try their best to help animals, like the lady who fed the feral cats and the lady who helped relocate some prairie dogs. I hope someone can rescue these helpless animals before they are destroyed just because a few yoyos want to do so for the good of mankind.

Other nations should cough up some cash
I am so disgusted that our president would even have to explain to the world the $35 million we've given for disaster relief in Asia. This is just the beginning of what the United States is going to do.
Do we not always contribute to any cause known to man on foreign soil, often to people who hate us? An official with the United Nations said that the world's richest nations are being greedy. Well, why are they not providing more aid with the war in Iraq? Since we are having to finance the war with little help from the U.N., maybe all these rich nations should put out more money for disaster relief.
Maybe they could use some of the "oil for food" money they recieved.
Serena Bailey
2004 proved to be prosperous year for drug dealers
Despite the fact that the Department of Public Safety seized more than $46 million worth of drugs in the Panhandle in 2004, what have we done to reduce the demand for drugs?
Simple economics teaches us that two functions work simultaneously in any market: supply and demand. If we reduce the supply of drugs while the demand is still high, the market price of drugs will increase. Applying this basic logic to the 2004 DPS drug seizures, we have reduced the supply while the demand has remained constant. Therefore, it is safe to assume that drug dealers in the Texas Panhandle made more money in 2004 than ever before.
Is this the best way to address the Panhandle's drug problem? Until we promote logical and fiscally responsible alternatives to our failed war on drugs, we can expect the demand for drugs, as well as the price, to increase.
Melissa Milam
Why should public perform government's job?
A Dec. 23 letter suggested that people "adopt" soldiers.
I have the utmost respect and appreciation for these brave souls who volunteer to defend our nation. My husband is a disabled Korean veteran; my dad served in the U.S. Air Force for 25 years. I was a military brat, and my first husband served at Ramstein Air Base as an Air Force security police specialist.
However, I don't understand why the public is being begged to send our troops in Iraq supplies, such as boots and basic items, when ours is the richest nation on earth.
Providing moral support through cards and letters is one thing, but shouldn't the government that ordered them over there be supplying them with everything they need for protection and comfort? Where is all this money needed to fight the war on terror going? Certainly not for properly armored vehicles.
Now President Bush wants to rearrange the Social Security system to cover the huge hole he has made in the economy. Americans are about to discover that he has built a house of cards, and it's only a matter of time before it collapses on us.

Flying insects chase prey and mates, skillfully exhibiting their ability to detect, track and pursue a moving target within a complex visual environment. This is a challenging task, even for the most sophisticated vision systems. Using electrophysiological techniques we record from visual neurons in the insect brain likely to underlie this pursuit behavior. These neurons respond to the presentation of small moving objects, even in the presence of background clutter. One such neuron, the centrifugal small target motion detector (CSTMD1), exhibits additional higher-order properties that may underlie a simple form of visual attention. This neuron's response is inhibited by the simultaneous presence of a second `distracter' target moving within a diffuse region of the excitatory receptive field. Intriguingly, a second distracter target moving in the visual field of the opposite eye completely suppresses the response of CSTMD1. In this study, we present distracter targets of varying sizes and determine whether the strength of these inhibitory interactions is itself a size selective phenomenon. We model CSTMD1's response to two-target stimuli presented within the excitatory hemifield as the summation of two size selective inputs, but inhibitory input from the other side as the difference. A further model elaboration includes half-wave rectification preceding the inhibition from the other eye, which results in a simple mathematical formulation encapsulating the response of CSTMD1 to both single and two target stimuli.

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Delhaize America, whose banners include Food Lion and Hannaford, posted an increase in fourth-quarter and full-year revenues as it completed the Food Lion phase roll out during the year.
"Since joining as CEO in November 2013, I have gained a thorough understanding of our Group, of the different markets in which we operate and of our banners. Our Group has strong foundations, with leadership positions in nearly all our markets, a solid balance sheet, and passionate associates. Since the beginning of the year, we continue to have positive momentum at Delhaize America while facing challenges in Belgium and Serbia," stated Frans Muller, CEO of Delhaize Group. "In 2014, we will further differentiate our offer and support our core banners by focusing on maintaining or strengthening our local leadership positions. We will pursue operational efficiencies and exercise continued capital discipline in order to fund this."
For the quarter, revenues at Delhaize America increased by 2.8% to $4.3 billion. Comparable store sales growth was 2.8% despite retail inflation turning negative (-0.4%) as a result of additional price investments due to the launch of Phase 4 in the second quarter and Phase 5 in November at Food Lion and an overall low inflationary environment, the company stated.
Underlying operating profit decreased by 14.1% to $128 million due to a lower gross margin resulting from price investments and due to higher SG&A. Underlying operating margin for the quarter was 3.0% compared to 3.6% in 2012.
For 2013, U.S. operations generated revenues of $17.1 billion, an increase of 1.9% compared with 2012 in local currency. Comparable store sales increased by 2%. In 2013, Food Lion completed its phase repositioning by implementing Phase 4 in May 2013 (178 stores) and Phase 5 (169 stores) in November 2013.
The U.S. gross margin decreased by 15 basis points to 25.9% as a result of price investments partly offset by improved procurement conditions, at both Food Lion and Hannaford.
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of revenues increased by 6 basis points to 22.6% mainly as a result of the reduction of the U.S. bonus in 2012, largely offset by cost savings.
Underlying operating margin of our U.S. business decreased by 29 basis points to 3.7% (4.0% in 2012) as a result of price investments and slightly higher SG&A. Underlying operating profit decreased by 5.3% to $639 million (€481 million). Operating margin was 3.4% mainly as a result of $53 million (€40 million) reorganization, fixed asset impairment charges and store closing expenses.
In separate company news, the Belgian international food retailer had announced the appointment of Marc Croonen as chief human resources officer of Delhaize Group. Croonen, formerly human resources director of International Paper for Europe, Middle East, and Africa, will also become a member of the Delhaize Group executive committee.
He will start effective May 1, 2014 and lead the Group's HR, sustainability, and internal communications functions, succeeding Nicolas Hollanders who is leaving the company. The IT functions that had been reporting to Hollanders will now report to Pierre Bouchut, the Group CFO.
In addition, Dirk Van den Berghe, CEO of Delhaize Belgium and Luxembourg, has been appointed to the Delhaize Group executive committee.

"Favourite Holiday Spot" Lakes Entrance by Chriselle65
Lakes Entrance Travel Guide: 22 reviews and 89 photos
Lakes Entrance is my families favorite holiday destination that is in Victoria. I have been holidaying there every xmas for over 30 years and my father spent his holidays there as a very young boy. We like it so much that we bought a block of land there and will build a house and live there one day in the future.
This photo was taken from a small plane that I was on.
Lakes Entrance is a lovely beach resort. The main beach is 90 miles long and is known as the 90 mile beach. It also has many waterways around the town and is a favourite for people that like to fish,water ski and do all kinds of water activities. The beach is lovely and clean with nice soft sand.
Lakes Entrance attracts many tourists and holiday makers of all ages from all over the place. It is a great place to take the family for a holiday that is nice and relaxing. It is only about 3 and a half hours drive from Melbourne.
Fishing can be done here by boat or from the waters edge on shore. If you love beaches you will love this place. It is a place that improves each year. It has many types of accomodation to cater for all budgets.
- Pros:Sun,Surf,Fishing,swimming,Relaxing atmosphere
- Cons:Accomodation can be expensive at peak times of the year, such as xmas.Not much in the way of nightlife entertainment.
- In a nutshell:Great place for summer holiday for all ages with accomodation to suit all budgets.

SDCC: New "Star Trek" Series Gets Full Title, First Teaser Released
Censorship | At least one comic, alas unnamed, was among the thousands of books removed this week from a Turkish government restricted list. Most of the bans were widely ignored anyway, but Metin Celal Zeynioglu, the head of Turkey's publishers' union, pointed out one important effect of lifting them: "Many of the students arrested in demonstrations are kept in prison because they're carrying banned books. From now on, we won't be able to use that as an excuse." [The Australian]
Publishing | Tom Spurgeon's latest holiday interview is with Shannon Watters, the editor of BOOM! Studios' children's comics line, which includes Adventure Time, Bravest Warriors and Peanuts. [The Comics Reporter]
SPX, or the Small Press Expo, returns to the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel and Conference Center in Bethesda, Md. this weekend.
The show's special guests include Roz Chast, Jim Woodring, Diane Noomin, Jim Rugg, Ann Telnaes, Chester Brown, Johnny Ryan, Craig Thompson and Matthew Thurber, and fans who attend will also have the opportunity to meet and/or hear from Kevin Huizenga, Anders Nilsen, Jessica Abel, Sarah Glidden, Alex Robinson, Brian Ralph, Mike Dawson, Meredith Gran, Roger Langridge and Julia Wertz, just to name a few. I would also be remiss if I didn't point out that our own Chris Mautner will be attending and conducting a Q&A with Johnny Ryan on Saturday, so be sure to tell him hi for us.
In addition to a lot of great talent, SPX also offers a full schedule of programming and the yearly Ignatz Awards. And a whole lot of new books and cool things will be available at the show:
Publishing | In a wide-ranging interview with retail news and analysis site ICv2, Dark Horse CEO Mike Richardson discusses the state of the market, the potential impact of Borders' bankruptcy, digital comics, the decline in manga sales, the success of Troublemaker and more. Of particular note is Richardson's confirmation that Apple's stricter enforcement of a prohibition on in-app purchases outside the iTunes store was behind the delay of the planned January launch of Dark Horse's digital comics program. He also says that Frank Miller is working on the third issue of his 300 prequel Xerxes, which is expected to be "roughly six issues, but he hasn't exactly decided yet." [ICv2.com]
Publishing | Robot 6 contributor Brigid Alverson provides an overview of recent changes to BOOM! Studios' kids' line, from the loss of the Pixar licenses to a new imprint name — changed from BOOM! Kids to kaboom! — to the announcement this week of a Peanuts original graphic novel. "BOOM Kids! was designed to publish children's comics — kaboom! is designed to be a true all-ages imprint, and for that reason Peanuts is the perfect launch title, the sort of material that adults and kids read alike," CEO Ross Ritchie said. "Roger Langridge's Snarked! is along these lines, as is Space Warped and Word Girl. I put the Word Girl announcement on my wall on Facebook and immediately there were a zillion adults commenting, 'My child loves this show but I'm buying this comic book for myself!' The title mix will be broader for kaboom! than it was for BOOM Kids!" [Publishers Weekly]
Passings | Veteran inker Mike Esposito, who teamed with childhood friend and frequent collaborator Ross Andru on such DC Comics titles as Action Comics, Wonder Woman and Metal Men, passed away Sunday at age 83. To conceal his Marvel work from DC, Esposito used the pseudonym Mickey Demeo, inking John Romita Sr. on The Amazing Spider-Man and Jack Kirby on The Hulk. Andru later joined him at Marvel on Spider-Man. [Mark Evanier]
Publishing | Kuwaiti entrepreneur Naif al-Mutawa, whose Muslim-superhero comic The 99 recently met with absurd, manufactured controversy, is profiled just as DC Comics prepares to debut a crossover with the Justice League: "It seems likely that a media firestorm is brewing. On forums last week, DC comics faced accusations of 'Muslim pandering' and 'treachery,' but that's the salient feature of The 99, not just that they're superheroes from four continents fighting crime wherever they find it, but that they – and Mutawa – have to fight enemies and overcome resistance from both the east and the west. 'One of the tough things is that people always think I'm working for someone else. In America, it's like, "Sure, they're private investors." Back home, they think I'm working for the Americans and here they think I'm working for some sort of Islamic agenda'." [The Observer]
Legal | A former middle-school teacher in Idaho has pleaded guilty to possession of obscene visual depictions of the sexual abuse of children for downloading 70 cartoon images of minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct. Many of the images depicted characters from The Simpsons. Boise resident Steve Kutzner, 33, faces up to 10 years in federal prison, supervised release of up to three years, a maximum fine of $250,000 and … a special assessment of $100. Sentencing is set for Jan. 5. [Idaho Statesman, press release]
New York Comic Con | Tom Spurgeon settles in for a lengthy, bulleted look at the news and announcements from last weekend's big convention. Gareth-Michael Skarka, meanwhile, offers commentary on the digital-comics arena. [The Comics Reporter, The Designer Monologues]
New York Comic Con | Ruth La Ferla uses the convention as a chance to look at the intersection of comic books and fashion, spotlighting both cosplayers and noted designers. [The New York Times]
Late last year, at my pop culture blog, I interviewed Alex Robinson about Too Cool to Be Forgotten. It was a really enjoyable interview (a fellow XTC fan is always a welcome addition to any discussion), so when I found out his new project was adapting L. Frank Baum's Christmas tale, A Kidnapped Santa Claus, I decided it was time to catch up with him for another discussion.
Tim O'Shea: What was the biggest challenge to expanding the original Baum 10 prose pages to your adaptation's 60 pages?
Alex Robinson: At first I was thinking that I was going to have to add a lot of material, and since the original story mostly focused on the plot I figured I could beef up the characterizations and try to give the characters a little more depth. It turned out I didn't really need to add that much, since there's relatively a lot of plot for such a short story.
The other challenge was deciding how closely I wanted to stick with Baum's original dialogue and ideas. I wanted to stay true to the source material but I also felt like I had to update it a bit if it was going to resonate with children today.
O'Shea: How much fun and creative freedom did you gain in expanding the story?
Robinson: Since the book is part of a series in which cartoonists adapt classic stories Harper really wanted it to be fairly close to the original, but they also gave me a lot of freedom within that framework. Does make any sense? Aside from beefing up the characterization of the supporting cast (they're little more than names in the original story) I tinkered around with the ending. I explained to my editor what I was doing and why I thought it should be changed and they were okay with it.
It was actually a lot of fun taking someone else's story and adapting it. It's kind of like covering a song in music, I imagine. Without having to worry about the basic structure there wasn't as much pressure.
Mike Dawson's Freddie & Me ranked on many Best of 2008 lists. It looks like he's trying to capitalize on his elevated creative profile–given that the upcoming Previews (out on January 28) will include Dawson's upcoming work for AdHouse, Ace-Face: The Mod with the Metal Arms ("a collection of stories . . . featuring everybody's favorite well-dressed crime fighter, doling out super-powered justice with his bionic limbs, and handling crisis's at home as a husband and father.")
In addition to discussing Ace-Face, we delve into Freddie & Me. But that's not all, as starting February 17, Dawson is returning to ACT-I-VATE with Jack and Max Escape From the End of Time, a webcomic spinning out of the Ace-Face universe. My thanks to Alex Robinson for facilitating this email interview as well as Dawson for his time and thoughts.
Tim O'Shea: How much of the Ace-Face book consists of flashbacks to his childhood and how much of is it "present day" adventures?
Mike Dawson: The stories take place in a variety of different times over the course of Ace-Face's career. A good chunk of the stories happen in close-to present day, but there are a number of flashbacks. We see his origin as a little kid with gigantic metal arms in the 1940's and 50's, a little bit of his mod hey-day in the 1960's, and some of his latter-day adventures as well.
As Chris goes through the 2009 catalogs of various publishers like Fantagraphics and Drawn & Quarterly, I thought I'd share a few update on future projects that creators have mentioned on their blogs. First, over on his blog Red Window, Scott Morse says he's working on a follow-up to The Ancient Book of Myth and War called The Ancient Book of Sex and Science. He's also got another Magic Pickle book coming out in 2009, as well as what sounds like a gigantic bunch of awesomeness, a '50s monster book called Ten Against the World:
*TEN AGAINST THE WORLD is in the works, I'm pleased to officially announce. It's a 160 (or so) page Kirby/Toth-inspired monster comic set in the 1950's, lots of comic book fun I'm certain Wertham would love. There's a teaser above. It's being produced entirely in Photoshop on my Cintique, no pencils, just straight digital black, white, and blue, as an experiment in economics and speed. I'm about 40 pages in at this point. Keep your eyes and ears open for this one, as it may actually hit initially in online installments.
Next, Alex Robinson's Too Cool To Be Forgotten has been popping up on year-end best of lists here and there (Tim O'Shea had it on his), and over on his LiveJournal he talks about the project he's just starting starring Santa Claus:

The kingdom of God is always present for him who desires and wills it. When a man's disposition and way of life are like that of an angel, most assuredly this is the kingdom of God. For God indeed is said to rule as King when nothing worldly meddles in the governing of our souls and when in every respect we live not in this world. This manner of life we have within us, that is to say, we have within us when we desire and will of it. We do not need to wait a long time, or until our departure from this life; instead, faith and a God-pleasing life, which accompanies faith, are very near us.

How many consuming fires can there be in the words: freedom, peace and democracy and how easy they can be extinguished by ignorance, stupidity and arrogance?
The world of an animal is reduced to its perimeter. Human world is reduced to its perimeter, but does the world of God have perimeters? If it does then it is not infinite, but if it doesn't, it means that this is not a world.

AbstractRecently, the DoD has become interested in technologies that can maximize processing energy efficiency and power savings, while maintaining reasonable performance. It particular, sub-threshold digital circuit operation is of the up-most interest for ultra-low power (ULP) military processing systems. In Phase I, a generic ULP field programmable gate array (FPGA) architecture capable of both sub-threshold and super-threshold operation will be developed. In sub-threshold mode, VDD is set less than VT, resulting in circuit which operates at a lower frequency with dramatic power savings. Super-threshold mode refers to the normal operating mode which provides higher performance during burst modes. As an innovative approach to meet the requirements of this solicitation, we are planning to design, simulate, fabricate, and characterize a general ULP FPGA device by the end of Phase II. This device will have the ability to dynamically switch between sub-threshold and super-threshold modes of operation depending the required device functionality, performance, and power. This technology will provide "added value" for various military and commercial applications.

Released: May 01st, 1993
Running Time: 120 (each)
Director: William Henry Jarvis
Company: Ataxi Productions
Cast: Angela Faith, Madge Trilust, Samantha York, Jay Bond, Ginni Lewis, Damian Wolf, Kitty Foxx, Rick Maguire, Hank Rose, Paul Morgan, Ashley Scene, Suzie Fantasy, Laurie Cameron, David Watson
Critical Rating: Not Yet Rated
Genre: Gonzo
For those of you in the cheap seats we'll recap the point of this series: To capture the alternate swinging lifestyle of true Pagan devotees. How this differs from a pro-am tape is mostly a state of mind — Will Jarvis', in particular.
A few changes would have greatly improved these tapes. First, bag the verbiage. Extended lesbian phone sex scenes (with Collins, Faith and St. Jermaine) are fun for a few minutes — only. Lectures on paganism from High Priestess Sabrina? Sheer boredom. Secondly, quit repeating old scenarios. The Ed Douset/ Ashley Scene watching porn within/porn is deja vu from Vol. 2.
When Will's crew gets down to sex, it's usually hot. In the case of Ginni Lewis, it's absolutely gushing. Her climaxes make Fallon's pussy look like Death Valley Days. However, Ginni (and most of the other participants) have less than, er, centerfold looks. Jarvis would do better to just concentrate on fireball scenes like Laurie Cameron's anal with Paul Morgan (Vol. 6) and forget emulating Orson Welles.

Additional Resources
Genuity® SmartStax® RIB Complete™ offers two built-in modes of action that deliver maximum control of both corn rootworm and corn earworm, as well as the most above- and below-ground insect control. Also, since it's a RIB Complete® brand corn blend, it has a mix of 95% Bt-traited seed and 5% refuge seed right in the bag. No more calculations, no more planting and maintenance of separate, structured refuge in the Corn Growing Area.
To help reduce the risk of insects developing resistance to B.t. technology, farmers are required to plant a separate structured refuge in their fields. With Genuity SmartStax RIB Complete corn blend, farmers are able to fill the planter with one bag and plant one field, saving them valuable time.
Each bag contains a blend of 95% Genuity® SmartStax® corn seed and 5% (non-Bt) seed.
Farmers across the U.S. Corn Belt are experiencing the benefits of a 5% reduced refuge with Genuity SmartStax corn.
This technology is the industry's first all-in-one corn trait offering root, stalk and ear protection. It combines:
Pests such as corn earworm can be detrimental to a crop. Without insect protection, growers have to spray to get rid of the pests, or simply do nothing at all. With Genuity SmartStax RIB Complete corn blend, growers can have less impact on the environment due to fewer sprays, as well as higher yield potential from reduced pest damage.
How does Monsanto produce this single-bag solution for growers? Watch the video below for a look at how we get the refuge in the bag.
Genuity SmartStax RIB Complete is a collaboration between Monsanto and Dow AgroSciences LLC.

Slander by maruhana-bachiWatch

The toll-house of slander
This is what I think of when I think of thankless Internet users who launch slander campaigns against my writing. I can totally relate to this piece. Beautifully captured.
This so cool, it depicts the true reality that is really present among us
I really identify with this...i think i often try to capture this same atmosphere...but, you are much better at it!
'No, 'tis slander, whose edge is sharper than the sword' love your works, the combination of clean lines and textures and vectors make me envious of your digital art talents
Absolutly love this peice.
Very interesting, I like the chosen colour scheme.
Very cool.
I have a feeling that these recent pictures are the representation of what Hell looks like in their eyes. It's really interesting, though. I like it.
i won't be sleeping too night!!
This reminds me a bit of Giger, and maybe a bit of Vampire Hunter D.
Fantastic job!

FRM only has a boot animation option. (Also: Is there a way to set the phone to have no boot animation?)
Topic? Thanks. Guys

See I didn't do that. I just loaded it with the LBT.
I got it. System info widget was to blame.. while there were no options in could find to disable the icon, removing the widget rid me of it....
I have the same issue.
Its a shame, linear looks great too.
I already asked the guys over at liberty... But no one was able to help.
I have this annoyance.
I can't figure out what put it there.

It is! But how on earth do i remove that little battery icon from my notification area.
It shows up on the left.
Its ugly. I want it to die....
widgetsoid is uninstalled.
The widget i put up there using it is gone too.
This thing though. I cant figure out how to rid myself of it. -_-
Of what a locked bootloader is and why I can install a rom but not Cyanogen on my droid 2?

Apodaca elected to new post

RALEIGH -- A state senator from Laurel Park has won an influential position among Republican legislators.
The Republican caucus elected Sen. Tom Apodaca deputy leader Monday, the second-in-command for his party. Apodaca's appointment was part of a reshuffling to replace outgoing caucus leader Sen. Patrick Ballantine of New Hanover County, who resigned from the Senate to run for governor. Sen. Jim Forester of Gaston County was elevated to the Republican leader post.
"I'm flattered that my peers voted for me," Apodaca said in a telephone interview from Raleigh. "It's going to be an awesome responsibility."
Apodaca, 46, will hold the position until Jan. 30. when new officers will be elected.
Apodaca beat out Sen. Robert Pittenger, a Mecklenburg legislator with whom he is working to help Republicans in this year's Senate races. Apodaca said he did not know how close the vote was.
Caucus leaders decide the party's legislative agenda, enforce members' adherence on party line votes when they occur and work with Democrats to reach compromises on the budget and other major bills.
The appointment marks a fast rise of the one-term senator, who was elected to the newly created 48th District in 2002, and was immediately selected as deputy whip.
The 48th District includes Henderson, Polk and southern Buncombe County.
As to whether the Hendersonville area might see some benefit from the appointment, Apodaca said, "It certainly won't hurt us any."

I'm an idiot, I'm sure, but RSS isn't something I deal with in situations like this one. I need to feed two RSS feeds from my blog - one for regular posts, one for "News". Is there an easy way to accomplish this, or a simple plug-in?
I'm sure this is probably an idiotic question, but I appreciate anyone who will humor me with an answer! ;)
