In the 1967 song âSan Francisco,â Scott McKenzie famously sang about how those who come to San Francisco in the summer time will âfind a love-in there.â This summer, Norman Osborn brings his team of Dark Avengers to the San Francisco of the Marvel Universe to see the X-Men, but the two teams arenât there for a love-in; theyâre headed for the exact opposite. Writer Matt Fraction will chronicle the confrontation between the two teams in âDark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men,â a six issue event that unfolds in two book ends and two issues each of âDark Avengersâ and âUncanny X-Men.â CBR News spoke with Fraction and his editor Nick Lowe about the event, which kicks off in June.
Regular âDark Avengersâ writer Brian Michael Bendis will serve as a consultant on âDark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men,â but Fraction, who is the regular writer of âUncanny,â is writing the entire cross-over event himself. The event begins in a special âAlphaâ issue, then spans âUncanny X-Menâ #513, âDark Avengersâ #7, âUncanny X-Menâ #514, and comes to a conclusion in a special âOmegaâ issue.
âVery early on I dreamed of being able do an X-Men/Avengers story, and I when I said letâs do that story everybody kind of looked at me and was like, âYeah, yeah kid,ââ Fraction told CBR News. âAs time went on I kept bringing it up, and I talked about it with Brian one night. We had been talking back and forth about Norman Osbornâs Cabal, Emma Frost, the Dark Avengers and where weâre both going with our stories. There was a lot of back of forth, and it got to the point where it wasnât just something I wanted to see as a fan, it also made a lot of story sense with both where he and I were on our titles and where weâre going. It was like, âThis is perfect.â Itâs the right thing to do and the right time to do it.â
âDark Avengers/Uncanny X-Menâ comes at a dangerous time for Fractionâs âX-Menâ cast. Cyclops and his girlfriend Emma Frost are hiding things from each other as well as from their teammates. Cyclops is concealing the existence of âX-Force,â his covert team of mutants that carry out âwetworksâ missions, while Emma is hiding her membership in Norman Osbornâs clandestine criminal group, the Cabal. Readers can expect these secrets to have a big impact on the story and on many of the relationships among the X-Men. âLots of chickens are coming home to roost,â Fraction said. âIn 'Uncanny' #511 Beast says that these secrets are going to kill us. And here you go - itâs killing time.â
Killing time begins because Emma Frost isnât holding up her end of the Faustian pact she struck with Osborn when she joined his Cabal in the âSecret Invasion: Dark Reignâ one-shot. âOsborn wants nothing to do with mutants. He didnât want to worry about them, and since there are less than 200 of them, they didnât want to have to worry about who the asshole in charge of them this week was. So Emma and Osbornâs deal was âYou stay out of my way, Iâll stay out of yours and weâll all be great,ââ Fraction explained. âIn terms of how deals with the devil go, thatâs not the worst one you can make. What happens though, is mutants donât stay out of Osbornâs way. Things happen that bring mutants front and center into Normanâs perspective and Emma is told, âYou control your people or I will!ââ
The X-Menâs new home town of San Francisco figures prominently in the confrontation between the Dark Avengers and the X-Men. âItâs cool that we get to break the news about this story at WonderCon in San Francisco,â Fraction stated. âBecause San Francisco is a major character in the story, and all of a sudden it becomes a bad time to be an insurance agent in the Bay Area.â
Fraction finds Norman Osborn and the entire cast of âDark Avengersâ to be very compelling characters and the writer is enjoying the chance to turn them loose on the Bay Area and the X-Men. âI really enjoy writing Osborn and these crazy plans of his. Plus itâs a team full of rich personalities,â Fraction remarked. âI never got a chance to write Bullseye during my âPunisher War Journalâ run, and always wanted to. So Iâm finally getting my chance to sink my teeth into that guy. And I love all the work thatâs been done with Moonstone. Marvel Boy is fucking amazing. With Daken, you have the chance to have the chance to write Wolverine as a surly, pissed-off teenager who hates his dad, and thatâs also pretty amazing. And of course thereâs the psychotic wild card that is Venom.â
Fraction also has plans for the two heaviest hitters on the âDark Avengersâ - the Sentry and Ares, the God of War. âLogistically, the Sentry is sort of like the H-Bomb. You donât lead with that. The Sentry is the doomsday machine. Heâs Normanâs ultimate insurance,â the writer explained. âAres though? Scott Summers has been training to be a general his entire life and whether he wants it or not, the war [and the war god] have found him. So stay tuned.â
The last time the X-Menâs home base came under an assault of such magnitude was when the Hulk attacked the X-Mansion during âWorld War Hulk: X-Men,â and Fraction sees the confrontation in âDark Avengers/Uncanny X-Menâ as being similar in scale. âWhen guys like Ares show up on your doorstep, you want the A-list. These are the top level guys,â Fraction said. âEssentially though, this is an all hands on deck situation; so if youâre an X-Man capable of fighting this particular fight, youâre showing up.â
If, and when, the Dark Avengers and the X-Men come to blows, readers can expect it to get pretty ugly. âThe people who donât buy Norman Osbornâs bullshit are all the heroes who know what he is and recognize what heâs doing. They know what heâs capable of; his and Iron Patriot identity is a slap in the face to everybody. Whether you're an Avenger, an X-Man, or a New Warrior; to see that guy defiling those two icons is a slap in your face,â Fraction said. âSo the hostilities are pre-cranked before our story even begins. Everybody is ready to throw down.â
âDark Avengers/Uncanny X-Menâ is an event which gives Fraction the chance to collaborate with three different artists, and the writer is very excited to work with all of them. Bringing to life the âDark Avengers issues of the cross-over is regular series' artist Mike Deodato. Penciling the âUncanny X-Menâ issues is Terry Dodson who shares regular art duties on that book with Greg Land. And for the first issue of the event, the editorial team behind the cross-over has enlisted the aid of legendary artist Marc Silvestri.
When asked what made Silvestri the perfect artist to draw the first chapter, Nick Lowe, Fraction's editor on âUncanny X-Menâ replied, âPeople asked me that when we got Marc to do the Messiah Complex one shot, too. I can get long winded about this, so bear with me - I said that Marc was in the top three of definitive X-Men artists of all time. This time I'll go even further. Not only does he have that stature, but he's also been part of more important X-Stories ranging across the decades [than any other artist]. He did Inferno. He did 'Fall of the Mutants'. He did 'Here Comes Tomorrow'. He did 'Messiah CompleX.' No one else's work screams, 'HOLY CRAP THIS IS IMPORTANT' like Marc's does. So we HAD to have him for this.â
Indeed the âDark Avengers/Uncanny X-Menâ cross-over is so important that readers should expect the outcome of the story to result in dramatic changes to the status quos of both books and perhaps even that of the Marvel Universe as a whole. âYou have no idea. This is just the beginning,â Fraction said. âThis is one of those things where I can't believe I'm getting away with all the stuff that I'm getting away with. Osborn winning really flipped everything on its head and this is a progression of what happens when someone like that has a victory.â

When active metals such as sodium are exposed to air, they quickly form a coating of metal oxide. The balanced equation for the reaction of sodium metal with oxygen gas is
4Na(s) + O2(g) → 2Na2O(s)
Suppose a piece of sodium metal gains 2.05 g of mass after being exposed to air. Assume that this gain can be attributed to its reaction with oxygen.
(a) What mass of O2 reacted with the Na?
(b) What mass of Na reacted?
(c) What mass of Na2O formed?

The objective of the project is the prevention of heterosexual transmission of HIV through the development and use of vaginal microbicides.
The goals of the project are:
1) To conduct and to publish the results of a Ugandan phase II, randomised, placebo-controlled study of the candidate microbicides Dextrin Sulphate and PRO 2000. The safety, tolerability and acceptability of these agents will be assessed in sexually active women attending St Francis Hospital, Nsambya, Kampala using the gels for a period of one month.[+] Read More
2) To determine the suitability of these vaginal microbicides for phase III studies. The safety and acceptability data from the successful completion of the placebo-controlled phase II safety study will enable the partners to select suitable agent(s) for phase III safety, tolerability and efficacity studies.
3) To prepare the African site for phase III studies of vaginal microbicides. The infrastructure of the developing country (DC) site will be prepared for phase III studies of vaginal microbicides by the transfer of technology, the development of local skills through workshops, the experience gained through conducting the phase II study and by the upgrading of local facilities.
4) To conduct a third part of a phase I study of Dextrin sulphate to explore the phenomenon of vaginal bleeding.
5) To conduct laboratory studies on cervico-vaginal lavages (CVLs) from a phase I study of Dextrin sulphate to evaluate cytokines and HIV-RNA.

I was concerned before making this regarding the sour cream since I'm not a big fan of it cooked in recipes. However I was pleasantly surprised. This was very tasty and quicker to make than my normal recipe. Made for My 3 Chefs Fall 2013.

I'm curious if anyone has setup recurring payments using WP Online store. I would like my clients to be able to have products delivered to them on a 4 week basis and have them charged every 4 weeks for those products.

The Billboard Has Risen
An update to my earlier post about the super-sized billboards outside what will become the new city of Beichuan. When I was there last Tuesday, I saw gigantic poles set into the ground, one batch on each side of the road leading to the work site. Today when we drove by - one week later - lo and behold, the billboards were up, promising a bright, shining new city.
This one shows an artists's rendition of the new Beichuan, with a stone tower typical of ethnic Qiang villages, wide boulevards and people gathered on a plaza. It bears this message: "We must firmly remember the mission that the General Secretary has entrusted to us: We must definitely do a good job of rebuilding Beichuan."
The General Secretary refers to President Hu Jintao, and the second part of that message is a quote from him, which unfortunately was rather pallid and bland. The second (equally gigantic) billboard across the way shows clusters of new apartment buildings that wouldn't look out of place in any planned community in the U.S., with a stream running by.
Will the new city bear any resemblance to the artists' drawings? I'll have to come back at the end of 2010 to find out. That's how quickly city planners say the new Beichuan will be built, with homes for 30,000 people.

Sheryl Meek-Molitor and her husband, Hal, are a team. She's the one with breast cancer, but he's equally involved in the recovery. Where you see one, you see the other.
In December 2011, Sheryl's primary care physician at Harris Health Casa de Amigos found two masses, one large and one small, in her right breast. She had a mammogram, and then an ultrasound. In March 2012, when the doctor first gave her the cancer diagnosis, he held her hand and encouraged her.
Sheryl credits Hal with much of her care. "He is fabulous. He's comfortable with the medical world. He speaks the language. And he's my stand-up comedian."
The support they have encountered in the Harris Health System has surprised them. Hal says, "All the doctors and employees are so responsive. They spontaneously smile and are helpful. We haven't found that elsewhere."
Sheryl, who deals with a number of health issues in addition to breast cancer, participated in a clinical trial before her mastectomy. Surgery was followed by chemotherapy and radiation. "I'm very special. I've had all the side effects," she says. One side effect has been very pleasant. "I love being bald. I like to rub my head and feel the sensations of touch and air. I've never felt this before. It's a good feeling."
Even better is the feeling she gets when she enters Harris Health Smith Clinic. "The people are always happy to see me. They're really nice, really helpful."
That's partly because Sheryl spreads happiness wherever she goes. Cancer doesn't overwhelm her. "Take it one day at a time," she tells others. "Don't look ahead and be scared. Find a support system wherever you can, whether it's family or friends or church.
"I try to stay busy with things I love: art, photography or writing. I never pass up an opportunity to write. And we live on Allen Parkway, so I get to see lots of activities and festivals. I stay upbeat. When I lose my smile, I get concerned. When I can smile all day, I know life is good."
Hal adds, "Cancer is just something that has to be done. Skip the 'Oh, ain't it awful?' part. Be as social as you can be. The disease that really needs to be cured is loneliness."

Mankiller participated in the occupation of Alcatraz Island by Native American protesters in 1969. She graduated from college and attended graduate school, and in 1985 she became the first woman to serve as tribal chief of the Cherokee Nation, which was the second largest tribe in the United States after the Navajo.

The increased growth of the body as a whole at the time of sexual maturation early suggested a causal interrelationship of these two phenomena. This was further emphasized by the development of precocious puberty in association with gonadal tumors. In this situation a rapid increase in body weight and height, maturation of the musculature and skeleton, deepening of the voice, and growth of sexual hair may be observed together with precocious development of the genitalia.
When the gonadal steroids became available for study in man, Kenyon and his co-workers 1 demonstrated that testosterone propionate exerts anabolic effects on tissues other than those of the genital system. Thus a person eating a constant diet may gain as much as 9 kg. in body weight during testosterone administration, which is more than can be accounted for by growth of the genitals. Metabolic balance studies have shown that under the influence of androgenic

Easy and Tasty! Thanks!
Love this recipe, so simple and such a no brainier. My kids love it and even the picky eater doesn't complain.
This made for a quick and tasty dinner. I used 5 minute rice and would have used long grain next time as the rice was pretty soft. I didn't have onion soup mix so subbed beefy onion mix - very similar. I think this would be great in the crock pot too.

I was a Clinical Director in charge of Hospice 3 counties. Patients beyond the 2 90 periods require a face to face visit. In one county this F2F did not happen. Pt admitted on a Saturday, F2F done the following Tuesday, also on that day the Chaplain made a visit as well as the SW, I changed their visit time to happen after the FNP visit, our system is designed to change for 24 hours. The RN that admitted the pt does not use computer, so I took her visit out and explained to the staff to let her know this pt had to be readmitted. I did not even think of this as a mistake, wasn't trying to hide anything, rather protect the company from any alleged Medicare Fraud.

Before I respond to your inquiry, I must state that we have not spoken, I have not reviewed the relevant documents and facts, and I do not represent you. Therefore, my discussion below is not a legal opinion, but is informational only. Finally, my discussion applies only to issues to which Pennsylvania, New Jersey or Federal law apply, unless otherwise specified.
That being said, I'd recommend speaking with an attorney who has experience defending nurses before the NCBON. While you didn't intend to do anything wrong, a misstep in dealing with the NCBON can threaten your license. It's better to be safe than sorry.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Mar 01st, 2006
Running Time: 142
Director: Keef Rock
Company: Fresh Films
Distribution Companies: Video Team
Cast: Kaiya Lynn, Barrett Blade, Richard Kline, Tiffany Taylor, Eve Lawrence, Gabriella Banks, Barry Scott, Talon (I), Jack Venice, Rita Faltoyano, Tommy Gunn, Melissa Lauren
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Shot in hi-def, packaged on two discs and featuring six starlet/studded scenes, Fresh Films is clearly out to establish itself with the stroking public. However, it does not necessarily distinguish itself.
The generally depraved Melissa Lauren (with dark hair) opts to tone it down a few notches, turning in a quality couples-friendly fuck, albeit with anal/A2M. It's a nice change of (breakneck) pace. Meanwhile Newbies Eve Lawrence and Gabriella Banks reveal rumps ready for riding and faces custom-made for cum-shots. However, the overuse of palatial pads and loud sequenced muzak render the proceedings somewhat generic.
Retailing: A few copies to test the waters.

The Kings Highway Beautification Association (KHBA) has just completed the next step on the way to restoring Kings Highway to its former splendor. Pedestrians will now find that the old, standard wire-meshed cans have been replaced by 18 brand new high-end trash receptacles.
The new litter receptacles have been strategically placed throughout the five block stretch of Kings Highway between Ocean Parkway and McDonald Avenue.
"The Kings Highway Beautification Association is proud to spear-head this long-awaited transformation," said David Hidary, co-president of KHBA. "We are dedicated to improving the quality of life for our neighborhood residents and making this street a showcase for New York City."
This is not the first successful project completed by KHBA. The association, a group of concerned and dedicated local residents and shop keepers, was instrumental in having the zebra-striped traffic triangle where East Fifth Street, Kings Highway and Avenue R meet transformed into a lush plant-filled garden, significantly improving the look of this commercial strip and providing seven new parking spaces.
In addition, KHBA has cleaned up the graffiti, power-washed the sidewalks, facilitated the planting of nearly 100 trees throughout the neighborhood, and stopped delivery of unwanted ad circulars to area homes.
For more information or to get involved, email KHBA at info@kings

I have a wide range of interests that include outside adventures, exploring new places, star gazing and astronomy, watching sci-fi movies, card games with friends, video games, and much more.
I'm open to conversation so don't feel shy about messaging me. I enjoy speaking to new people.
I have also started to get on the healthy life path. My goal is to get in better shape so I can do more of the things that I love doing outdoors. I hit the gym almost every day now and doing what I can to be more active.
People quickly notice how much of a good person I am. I always strive to be kind to everyone and helpful when I can be. I strive to be a positive person, focusing on the good side of things and not the negatives. It's much easier to be happy than it is to try and be upset over something.
Some of the shows I like are The Daily Show, Conan, Simpsons, Family Guy, Futurama, Scrubs and How its Made.
I tend to listen to more alternative type music, but if a song has a good beat I will listen to it.
I generally watch a Action, Adventure, Comedy, or SCI-FI movie. A few examples are Star Trek, Iron Man, Avengers, The older Star Wars movies, and some nerdy/funny ones like Grandma's Boy, and Hot Fuzz.
I enjoy home cooked foods. I also enjoy sushi, italian, chinese, teriyaki, mexican, and other international cuisines. I have a bit of a sweet tooth sometimes too.

3. My dog

Today's post is the start of an interesting looking series by Tom Kerkhove.
What is AR Drone
Parrot is a company selling pretty high-tech products, no really, they even have a remote-controlled flower monitor.
One of their other products is the AR Drone remote-controlled quadricopter that comes with two different hulls, one for indoor and one for outdoor. This quadricoper is 450 mm (indoor) & 510 mm (outdoor) big and is equipted with a 720p HD camera in front of it.
If you want to join me in the quest to combine Kinect & AR Drone or just want one to play around with you can buy on here!
Drone for developers
As you can guess there is no official SDK for .net as well and developing one myself is a no-go for me since I don't have that much time.
Luckily Ruslan Balanukhin was one of the kind coders that developed one for his fellow developers with his ARDrone repository on GitHub.
Just to be clear, there are other repositories out there but this one is up-to-date and Ruslan kicks ... with his support!
Running the GitHub sample
This repo also contains a sample containing all the supported features!
Now the SDK communicates by using the WiFi-receiver of the drone so make sure that you're connected to that wireless network!
Enjoy exploring and see you soon to start coding!

Oops, something didn't work.
Actually, there is:
Actually that library focuses on Win8 & WP8 and I use the repo that was the foundation of the SDK
I used Ruslan's work to create a project with the Drone, Kinect (gestures and voice commands) and Oculus.
It's really easy to implement (a little tricky the video part, but nothing much) and you can learn a lot.
Here you can find my implementation with a link to a video: https://github.com/Iridio/OculusArDroneKinect if interested

Children's Health
Hypnosis Halts Habit Coughing
March 11, 2004 -- New research shows self-hypnosis quickly helps kids stop habit coughing.
Habit coughing -- also called cough tic -- is a harsh barking cough that continues long after a child gets over a case of the common cold or flu. It can go on for years. The coughing often happens several times a minute when the child is awake -- but once asleep, the cough almost always stops.
Although the coughing itself may irritate the throat and airway and perpetuate the cough, intensive investigation shows no physical cause for habit cough. Drug treatments -- including cough suppressants -- don't help. But teaching these children self-hypnosis leads to dramatic improvement, report Ran D. Anbar, MD, of SUNY Upstate Medical University in Syracuse, N.Y., and colleagues.
"Hypnosis works by helping the patient ignore the sensation that triggers the cough, thereby allowing the patient not to cough," Anbar says in a news release. "Once the patient stops coughing, there is no longer a trigger for the sensation and the habit stops."
The Anbar team's report appears in the February issue of the Journal of Pediatrics.
Long-Term Habit Coughs Stop Fast
The 51 kids in the study ranged in age from 5 to 17 years, with an average age of about 11. At the time of the study, they'd been coughing for an average of one year, ranging from two weeks to seven years. Most coughed as often as every few seconds, all day long.
The children saw either a pediatric lung specialist or a child psychologist. At the outset, the kids were told that their problem almost certainly wasn't due to a physical problem. They were told that hypnosis could help them, and that they wouldn't be allowed to skip school during their treatment.
Not all the kids got exactly the same instruction, but all were taught the basic techniques of self-hypnosis for up to three 30- to 45-minute sessions. These techniques included:
- Self-Induction. Kids were taught to relax their muscles and to breathe deeply.
- Relaxation imagery. Kids were asked to imagine feeling a favorite place with each of their five senses, or to imagine colored air bringing them comfort with each breath.
- Cough-related imagery. Kids were asked to imagine a switch in their heads that turns the cough on and off, or to imagine engaging in fun activities instead of coughing. Smaller kids might be asked if a cartoon character was causing the cough, what might it do instead?
- Anchoring gesture. Kids were asked to pick a gesture -- such as crossing their fingers -- to cue a relaxation response.
- Validation. Kids were asked to notice how their cough improved during and after practicing self-hypnosis.
- Instructions for home. Kids were asked to practice these techniques every day for at least two weeks.
The results: 40 of the 51 kids stopped coughing after just one hypnosis instruction session. Another four kids stopped coughing in a week, and two others stopped coughing after a month.
Of the 49 kids followed for little more than a year, 22% had their cough return one to three times. All but one was able to control it with self-hypnosis.

Hi. I'm having some issue with PHP.
Fatal error: Call to a member function list_attributes() on a non-object in /home/wpmash/public_html/incadventures/wp-content/plugins/shortcodes-ui/shortcode-maker.php(1197) : eval()'d code on line 4
I only get the error when I save or resave a post that has the associated shortcode. And what's really odd is I only get the error sometimes when saving, not every time.
I'm adding the following php into php section as advanced mode:
global $woocommerce, $post, $product;
echo "
";
echo "
Fast Facts
";
echo "
";
This code for displaying WooCommerce custom attributes within a page seems to work sometimes, but as I said, throws error after editing and re-saving the page with the shortcode in it.
I've tried changing the setting: 'my code uses PHP echo' to 'return', but it seems to work the same either way (I would think 'echo' would apply here).
I get the php error on a white screen. If I reopen the page editor on another browser tab the page changes actually saved properly, and the page displays the WooCommerce attributes on the page as expected.

Book Review by Rio
The Good: If you've gotten Ozawa's other books, then you already know how detailed his books get! This volume is no different and goes a step further by showing you actions in progress such as showing you each movement of a person walking. Then he shows you how to do the same action but at different angles and foreshortening views.
The Bad: There's so much info in here that it'll take you awhile to digest all the information in it. It's stacked full of drawings and side notes!
Overall: There are quite a lot of action moves in this book. Quite unlike Martials Arts & Combat Sports and Illustrating Battles editions, this book prep you to think in 3 dimensions. If you're set on making animations and video games in the future, this book is the best way to learn spatial relations and seeing your characters more than just one or two-dimensionally. If you're into making manga, getting this book won't hurt at all but you're probably better off getting the Illustrating Battles book initially.

I have heard mention of Objective-C but I have never used it myself. I was curious what everyones opinion of it was in general and also in relation to C++. Are there any types of projects where it would be more useful or less useful?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
closed as too broad by hichris123, lpapp, ling.s, Ed Cottrell♦, keshlam Feb 20 '14 at 6:22
There are either too many possible answers, or good answers would be too long for this format. Please add details to narrow the answer set or to isolate an issue that can be answered in a few paragraphs.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Like many others I've just started looking at Obj-C due to iPhone. I've done a lot of C++ and C# and from what I can see Obj-C has a basically different approach to OO in that it adds Smalltalk-like messaging to C. Like C++ it's basically still C-compatible but the OO extensions let you send any message to any object. In that sense it's not statically typed like C++ and C# where the things an object can do are tied to the class it is. In Obj-C you can send a message to an object even if it doesn't support it. The object can then forward it if it doesn't know what to do with it.
The really cool thing is that you can add interfaces (protocols) at runtime and you can add your own handlers that intercept and hide message handlers for existing classes.
All in all there's a lot more flexibility when it comes to message handling, more like what you would do in Ruby or Smalltalk. Whether it's a good idea to have this type of OO grafted onto C or not I can't tell yet, in some ways the C++ approach meshes better with the original idea of C but on the other hand the Obj-C OO approach is more what OO purists like.
From "Some nice features of the Objective-C language":
I find objective-c's syntax a little cleaner than c++'s although I know I'm in the minority here
Objective C's OO features use dynamic typing instead of static (compile-time) typing. That's the major difference in the approaches of the two languages - whether it's an advantage or not depends on your opinion about static vs. dynamic typing.
My opinion is that the syntax of Objective-C is a little "weird" at first, particularly if you are coming from a C/C++ background (as I did). If you plan to write apps for the Mac or iPhone, Cocoa development is the way to go. I had an opportunity to do some development on the Mac for about a month this Spring and opted to write it in C++ using the Qt libraries since I was quite familiar with those and time was of the essence.
If you have a Mac, give it a shot! There is a LOT of info out there on it and there are some good tools for development.
Part of what makes Objective-C so great isn't the language (although that is a big part ot it), it's the Cocoa (or CocoaTouch) framework that goes along with it (at least for 99% of objc users ;-)
In practical terms, I used to be a C++ programmer back in the old "classic" Mac days. Switching to Objective-C, Cocoa and Mac OS X i found I became much more productive. Hard to say exactly how much more productive, but 50% to 100% feels right.
If you're running Linux you can install GNUStep which provides pretty good compatibility with Cocoa. This can get you started on Objective-C/Cocoa development without owning a Mac. The best resources for learning Objective-C [in my opinion] are with Apple.
Well, If you are coding for the some platforms like the IPhone, Objective-C is required. Objective-C also uses dynamic(run-time) typing, which many people prefer over static(compile-time).
WebKit was originally a C++ project (khtml from KDE) that was later adapted by Apple to be more compatible with the Cocoa-environment and thereby got its Objective-C layer.
It is more dynamic than C++ and heavily influenced from Smalltalk. I don't find it "better" than C++ - on the contrary, but some people do.
For Mac and iPhone development, it is definitely better. The latest version has a GC, so if you like that, you'll probably like it better than C++.

Worst-Hit Firm Faults Fairness of Sept. 11 Aid
By DAVID W. CHEN
Published: September 17, 2002
Officials with Cantor Fitzgerald, which lost more people than any other company in the World Trade Center attack, have concluded that the federal fund meant to compensate survivors of victims is unfair, violates several laws and threatens to shortchange the families of its 658 slain employees by hundreds of millions of dollars.
At the heart of the firm's objections, contained in a formal report that Cantor will submit to the federal government this week, is its claim that the administrator of the fund has set a cap on awards in violation of the legislation that created the fund. The officials also argue that the decision by the fund's special master to make awards based on after-tax projections of lost income is illegal under New York State law and will deprive families of a third or more of the total payment to which they are entitled.
While a chorus of discontent has swelled recently about the fairness of the fund, Cantor's report represents the most substantive and serious challenge yet to the basic rules underlying the fund. And given the firm's financial clout and sympathetic public stature, its attack on the fund has the potential, some lawyers and family members say, of plunging the entire program into disarray.
Yesterday, the special master in charge of the Sept. 11 Victim Compensation Fund, Kenneth R. Feinberg, said he had not seen the report, and could not comment on it. While he continued to express confidence that his rules would pass legal muster, he also said that he eagerly awaited Cantor Fitzgerald's conclusions.
"I look forward with great interest to receiving it," he said. "I will review it with great care, because anything that will help me in the difficult task of computing awards in individual cases, I welcome."
Cantor's findings are based on a six-month examination conducted with the help of the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom in New York and the economic consulting firm of Chicago Partners in Chicago. The report, a copy of which was given to The New York Times, was mailed to Cantor families over the weekend and was scheduled to be posted on its Web site this morning.
Cantor's general counsel, Stephen M. Merkel, charged last week that Mr. Feinberg had assumed "the role of a sovereign power" with too much discretion and too little oversight of the fund, which was established by Congress after the terror attacks. As a result, Cantor is now suggesting that its families — as well as the families of all other Sept. 11 victims — refrain from applying for money from the fund unless wholesale reforms are made or, if necessary, legal challenges are mounted.
"The regulations are wrong on so many levels, because they are contrary to the statute," said Mr. Merkel, who is also Cantor's executive managing director. Then, referring to Mr. Feinberg, he added: "I think his heart is in the right place. But his role is ministerial, not prime ministerial. He is supposed to carry out acts mandated by Congress. He has not been given some role of sovereign power."
Under Mr. Feinberg's projections, the family of a 30-year-old broker at the firm who was earning roughly $110,000 on average over the last three years would be entitled to an award of roughly $3 million. Under the firm's formula, which uses gross income and a more bullish estimation of future earnings, the family should receive an award closer to $5 million. The award itself would not be taxed in either case.
Cantor Fitzgerald's assessment comes at a critical moment for the multibillion-dollar fund. Having failed so far to attract large numbers of families, the fund is set to make an important series of awards that many families and their lawyers believe will at long last give a clear sense of how generous the payments are likely to be.
But yesterday, Mr. Feinberg indicated he was unlikely to overhaul the rules governing the fund. He repeated earlier public pronouncements that "there will be no change in the final rules and regulations," partly because 52 families have already been offered awards averaging $1.57 million each.
However, one law professor who is not connected to Cantor but who has reviewed the company's submission, says that it contains strong arguments that could have significant implications.
"The legal arguments made in the submission about legislative intent and state law call into question the judgment — as well as the biases — of the special master's discretionary interpretations on the important issues of calculation of salaries and fair compensation, and are supported by substantial case law and precedent," said Pamela S. Falk, a professor at the City University of New York who has written extensively about the fund.
The core of the firm's dissatisfaction with the fund and its rules concerns what it believes is, in effect, an artificial lid on payments to high-income employees. Cantor officials assert that the fund is illegally forcing families to prove "extraordinary circumstances" for awards higher than the fund's generic calculations of the potential earnings of those lost on Sept. 11. In that, they say, the fund and its administrator are denying the families the full recovery for their losses explicitly promised by Congressional leaders when the fund was established.
In other words, what Mr. Feinberg should not be doing, the report says, is making "value judgments about different groups of income earners."
At 59 pages for the legal portion, and 17 pages for the economic one, the report contains many legal and economic arguments, as well as a revealing look at the company's complex compensation packages.
