(January 8, 2009) – There is nothing more special than sharing with others. Sometimes we aren't sure what the best way to do this is, so luckily an opportunity like the one SaskEnergy has come up appears!
This month, the Skate Canada School Program presented by SaskEnergy at the BMO Canadian Figure Skating Championships will work with local schools in Saskatoon to collect used skates. These skates will be counted and redistributed to inner city schools and sports programs in Saskatoon, giving more and more students the opportunity to skate! As the sponsor of this program SaskEnergy wanted to make sure kids who may not have the opportunity to skate can now get out and experience the sport.
The possibilities are big with this program and the race to see which school will donate the greatest number of skates is on! The school which brings in the greatest number of skates will receive a pizza day from SaskEnergy and tickets to the 2009 BMO Canadian Figure Skating Championships. The cut off date for bringing in skates is January 14 and the contest winner will be announced on the 15th during the school program at the Credit Union Centre.
They may be old skates, but they will surely create new and very special memories for their new owners.

John Skelton has been very solid - better than Kevin Kolb has been all year - but the Arizona Cardinals still trail the Cleveland Browns by a score of 10-7 at halftime. Peyton Hillis is finally back to looking like the player he was last season, and he's the main reason they're on top through 30 minutes. He's carried the ball 15 times, getting the ball on nearly half of their plays, and he's gotten 69 yards and a touchdown out of those touches.
With Colt McCoy out due to a concussion, the Browns are a little more run-heavy than usual. Seneca Wallace is 9-15 passing, but has only passed for 85 yards as the Browns have played it very conservative.
The Browns had a 10-0 lead until the final minute of the half, but Skelton led an excellent two-minute drill from his own 35-yard line that featured an incredible improvised jump pass to Chester Taylor and a nine-yard touchdown pass to Andre Roberts with 19 seconds left in the second quarter.

Boulder declares intent to acquire Xcel assets
Last Updated: 18:36 January 6, 2014
The notice kicks off formal negotiations with Xcel on the assets that Boulder would need to create a municipal electric utility. Good faith negotiations are required by law before the city can file condemnation action in district court. Xcel has maintained its position as an unwilling seller throughout the city's exploration of municipalization.
The notice released Monday details the equipment that the city intends to acquire, including all or parts of seven substations plus a 115-kilovolt transmission loop serving the city and access to service the substations serving that loop.
Boulder leaders have asserted that a city-run utility could help the city achieve its goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions while simultaneously maintaining or improving rates and reliability.
"This notice starts what we hope will be productive and collaborative formal conversations with Xcel Energy about the equipment we would need if we choose to meet our community's goals in this way," Heather Bailey, Boulder's executive director of energy strategy and electric utility development, said in a press release. "It would benefit everyone - the city, Xcel Energy and ratepayers across Xcel's service territory - if both parties could reach an agreement on this issue."
By law, Xcel has 90 days to have the property appraised at Boulder's expense and enter into negotiations. The company could also decline to enter into negotiations. Should Xcel have its own appraisal done, the city would then be required to submit its appraisals of the property to Xcel. At that point, there's no set timetable for how long negotiations must last before Boulder could file for condemnation. But the law does require that Boulder submit to Xcel a written final offer before proceeding to trial if the parties can't agree on a price through good faith negotiations.
Xcel spokeswoman Michelle Aguayo said it's too early to say whether the company would enter into negotiations as Xcel officials are still evaluating Boulder's notice.
"Xcel Energy has received Boulder's notice of intent to acquire, which is under review," a statement from Xcel read. "We continue to believe that we can help Boulder achieve its goals better, faster and cheaper by working together instead of Boulder attempting to take over our business."
When Boulder city council gave staff the go-ahead to begin pursuing acquisition of Xcel's assets last summer, the original timeline called for good faith negotiations to occur in the fall so that the city could file for condemnation as early as this month. But that timeline was delayed for a couple of reasons.
The city was waiting to see the results of a couple of utility debt-limit measures on the November ballot to gauge the community's interest in moving forward with municipalization. The city also wanted to learn the results of a proceeding with the Public Utilities Commission and how that would affect the municipalization process.
The PUC ruled in October and confirmed its ruling in December that, because Boulder's municipalization plans include serving customers and acquiring assets outside the city limits, the city must have the technical aspects of its acquisition plan approved by the PUC before filing for condemnation.
The city has until Jan. 15 to appeal the PUC decision to district court. If it does, it could still start working with the PUC on the approval process while the appeal is in process. The approval process is expected to take up to seven months from the time the city files its acquisition plans with the PUC, meaning it would be the second half of this year before Boulder could file for condemnation regardless of how good faith negotiations go.
In addition to the notice of intent to acquire, the city also announced Monday that it is in the process of seeking requests for proposal for legal and regulatory consultants to join the city's efforts on issues related to the PUC and the state's regulatory processes.

Suspect is arrested in Tucson-area crime spree
By Associated Press

Originally published: Dec 24, 2012 - 4:36 pm
TUCSON -- Authorities say a man linked to a crime spree involving five burglaries and three auto thefts in the Tucson area is in custody.
Pima County Sheriff's officials say 31-year-old Patrick Joseph Greiwe was arrested early Monday while allegedly driving a stolen car.
Earlier this month, authorities named Greiwe as the suspect in burglaries and car thefts from homes and a business in the community of Catalina over past two months.
They say evidence found at each scene allegedly linked Greiwe to the crimes.
Greiwe has been booked into the county jail. Authorities didn't immediately know Monday afternoon if Greiwe had a lawyer yet.

Seventh episode of Survivor Heroes vs Villains< read all 3 reviews
Currently, I have two reasons for watching this show:
Russell's Alliance: Parvati and Danielle
Rob's Alliance: Sandra and Courtney
The Floaters: Jeri and Coach
Initially, Jeri was an intriguing player for a newbie such as myself, especially with the nickname "The Black Widow." It was even a bit endearing when the tribe speculated that there could be a romance forming between "The Dragon Slayer," aka Coach, and Jeri. I didn't really care about that nonsense, though, because I wanted a strong female player that I could admire. I especially appreciated that she wasn't stick-skinny. However, this episode revealed Jeri's false glamor. She spoke about being a bitter and heart-broken female for over thirty-eight years. Talk about a cliche! I couldn't believe how whiny and sorry for herself she was in this episode. It was quite a disappointment because I thought a "black widow" wouldn't be so needy. I mean, isn't this the 21st century and the age of the enlightened woman?
Because of her weakness in her own self-confidence, Russell was able to take advantage of her. He convinced her to align with him despite the fact that Jeri can't stand Parvati. I don't see why Jeri acts like she's better than Parvati, especially since it turns out that they are birds of the same feather. Perhaps it's because Jeri sees her own weakness emulated in Parvati. They are both women in need of a "man" to save them. I guess Russell will have to do since neither can tell that Rob is more of a man than Russell could ever hope to be.
Meanwhile, Colby talks about how it's "put up or shut up time" for him and the heroes. He's ready to make a difference for his tribe, and he will be granted this wish with their newest reward challenge. The teams are going to play water basketball/water polo. The team who gets three baskets first wins a food reward of beef, chicken, and fresh fruit. They are playing two against two with one person as a goalie.
Since this is a physical challenge, I was 100% positive that the Hero's Tribe would win. For some reason, they are fantastically ruthless when it comes to physical challenges. Colby and Coach go "man-to-man." Colby scores the first basket. Candice makes the second. And finally...Colby redeems himself with the third basket. During this challenge, everyone was brutal with each other. Russell and Rupert were really fighting hard even after the challenge was over! They reminded me of a cock fight. Those two looked like they wanted to peck their opponent's eyes out. Colby was especially brutal to Jeri when he made one of the baskets. She was hurled out of the way like a rag doll. This is why I equated the challenge to being like a water polo match, which is more aggressive than basketball.
The winning team enjoyed a waterfall picnic. They had a few minutes of peace before Candice found a clue for a personal immunity idol at their camp. Everyone was initially annoyed until it was agreed upon that they would find the idol as a team and use it later during the merge with the villains.
Next, we were taken back to the Villain's Tribe where some weird lovey-dovey music was being played as Coach approached Jeri on the beach. The music sounded like it was going to lead to a kiss between the two players. I was anticipating some sparks until Coach explained that Jeri "threw all her eggs into Russell's basket." Way to kill the romance, Coach! She's definitely not kissing you after that comment. Then, he spouted some other nonsense about being honor bound to Jeri, but that he feels torn because Jeri made a pact with "the devil," one that he hesitates to follow. Jeri plays coy to him, reminding me a lot of Parvati, and then explains in a confessional that "You can't be the good guy to everyone and win this game." Why didn't you give this advice to Coach, Jeri? It sounded important enough to share, and it was my main clue as to the result's of this episode's vote, which I had already called at the very beginning. This was some eerie and well-placed foreshadowing for the end of the episode.
The next part was the tribal immunity challenge. This one was a simple race across a trampoline with a mini-puzzle at the end. The contestants would have to climb up a net at the end of the trampoline to get the puzzle pieces, but it really did look like "a piece of cake" compared to challenges of the past. The heroes had an opportunity to win this one because the puzzle didn't look too intimidating despite many pieces to it. As predicated, the Heroes won again.
At the Villain's Tribe, the discussion was split about who should go home. It was really down to two players. Those two players rushed to get the flip-floppers onto the side without one oft hem knowing that Jeri had already pledged herself to Russell's alliance. This was actually a boring strategy discussion because of all the emphasis on trust and loyalty. Come on, people! This is Survivor; you are all in the wild. There's no such thing as trust and loyalty when "civilization" is gone. Just read Lord of the Flies if you don't believe me. Basically, Coach kept flip-flopping between alliances and making all sorts of promises he wasn't going to be able to keep. Again, let me reemphasize how boring this was, maybe because it was Coach doing most of the talking. Everything lead to the final vote and my predication as to who was voted off. Before leaving the show, this player left his "betrayer" with these final words: "You're a little man."
Overall, I really enjoyed the reward and tribal challenges, usually I find complaint with the fact that someone is flashing something at the other players (always unintentional but still...). Plus, I find many of the challenges have a sexual undertone to them. And why, not? Sex sells, especially when it's done this covertly. These challenges felt very straight forward, activities I might have played in a high school P.E. Class. The nature shots were also beautiful. I really enjoyed the sea green turtle; I love turtles, don't you? There were some repeat footage such as the geyser and the bat tree, but this time viewers got to see the bats actually flying above the island! Another new shot was a tree near the edge of the beach with ocean water and waves spilling over it.
Despite these positive aspects, I had to rate the show low. My hero is gone, and I really hoped this contestant would be able to use the money to aid the family back home. Plus, the strategies and deliberations were really boring, especially since I had figured out who was going home practically from the start of this episode. The person I wanted to win had also lost a lot of the will to fight during the end deliberations too.
This episode left me sad and disheartened. I know no one is really "evil" or a "villain" because they are all just playing a game. They are embracing roles that the producers gave them. Plus, would the show really be that exciting if everyone did the right thing and the person who most deserved the money won? The network wants the fans to be entertained, and betrayal is very entertaining for a viewing audience. Still, the fact that this show constantly reminds me of Lord of the Flies is really distressing when I keep hoping that "real people" are better than that dark interpretation of human nature.
The player's parting words left me ashamed to be a member of a race that values money over "friendships." Who would you betray if a million dollars was at stake?

Kudos to The Associated Press in its exposure of former Gov. Mitch Daniels' attempt at academic censorship.This was a case of a state leader using his powers to push a political agenda at the expense of education, and that's disgraceful.
The focal point of Daniels' ire seemed to be Howard Zinn, who taught political science at Boston University until his retirement in 1988. In 1980, Zinn published the first edition of his best seller, "The People's History of the United States." In it, Zinn turned away from the traditional privileged white male history to tell an alternative history consisting of slaves, Native Americans, socialists, women and rank-and-file workers and soldiers.
The book played up the colonialism of the U.S., along with the country's efforts at suppression and oppression to maintain the privileged white male scenario. To a conservative like Daniels, this book was dangerous.
The former governor called the book "execrable," and in a series of emails with state education leaders, including former superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Bennett, sought to rid classrooms of Zinn's book. An email by a board of education member to Daniels suggested a review of all teacher preparation programs at Indiana's universities after discovering that Zinn's book was used in an Indiana University class.
Daniels was quickly on board. "Go for it," he wrote. "This crap (Zinn's book) should not be accepted for any credit by the state."
When Zinn died at 87 on Jan. 10, 2010, Daniels wrote that he was glad Zinn, who Daniels characterized as a liar, was gone.
A book like Zinn's is going to elicit a strong response. On the flip side of Daniels' remarks are those from historians such as Eric Foner, who teaches history at Columbia University. "Historians may well view it as a step toward a coherent new version of American history." He wrote for the cover of the revised and updated edition of Zinn's book.
But Daniels has not backed down from criticizing Zinn even as the emails have come to light.
The point is, this is a matter for academics and the students they teach, not a governor who is reacting as a partisan toward something that violates his values. Just because he's governor doesn't mean he can force feed his values onto the state and dictate how academic investigation and classroom discussion should be conducted.
This is deeply troubling because of Daniels' post-governor occupation: president of Purdue University. What will this do to Purdue's academic reputation? Can Purdue faculty expect a call from Daniels about what to teach?
Admittedly, Purdue probably won't suffer, but thinking that a governor who is now a university president would try to censor certain writers and prevent their work from being taught in the state's classrooms is beyond the pale.
Some Purdue professors struck back at Daniels in a letter, writing: "However much we disagree with your past statements, we are more troubled by the fact that you continue to express these views today, especially since you are now speaking as the chief representative of Purdue University with the responsibility to embody the best of academic inquiry and exchange."
With his rigid ideology, Daniels has no business as the head of a university that prizes the unencumbered pursuit of free and open academic inquiry.

The owner of a Mechanicsburg business police searched for illegal drugs last week has decided not to fight the authorities who want his shop shut down.
Ted Zeiders on Tuesday gave no contest to a court injunction that will permanently close the Magical Incense Shop he has operated since 2006.
Investigators searched the shop last week and said they confiscated illegal synthetic drugs that were sold in the business. The drugs, authorities said, were designed to mimic the effects of crystal meth and other narcotics.
Zeiders previously told abc27 News that he reminded customers the products he sold were not for human consumption, but authorities said the shop also sold marijuana pipes and other illegal drug paraphernalia.
"When you are selling something that creates a flame and liquefies a substance, and selling syringes along with it, which is just patently, obviously illegal, it's going to be pretty hard to come into court and make an argument the other way," Cumberland County District Attorney David Freed said.
The items seized from the store are still being tested, and Zeiders has not been charged with any crime.
Authorities said at least 66 complaints involving the shop had been made since 2008, most of them because of erratic customers.

LAS VEGAS -- A phone call from CBS's 60 Minutes can mean the start of a bad day. Las Vegas gambler and businessman Billy Walters has put 60 Minutes on hold for more than 20 years. That's how long the venerable news program has been trying to land an interview with the man they call the most feared sports gambler in history.
60 Minutes may have had trouble getting Walters to sit down with them, but he's talked to 8 News NOW many times over the years, including Friday by phone. The first time 60 Minutes tried to get him on camera was 1986, and the reporter was Mike Wallace. Walters said no, again and again.
But last month, he said yes to Correspondent Steve Krofft who then turned the story over to Lara Logan. She and her crew spent many hours with Walters, focused on his philanthropic work with Opportunity Village, but mostly looked at his gambling.
Sportsbook managers told 60 Minutes that Walters is the most feared, most successful sports gambler in history -- that he single-handedly moves the betting line when he makes his picks and that in a typical weekend, he might put down $2 million in bets.
"I've had losing week, I've had losing month, never a losing year," he said.
"He's the most dangerous sports bettor in the history of Nevada -- history of the world," said oddsmaker Kenny White.
Why did he finally agree to talk to 60 Minutes? Walters said he wanted to get some things off his chest about Las Vegas and gambling, to let the rest of the country know that legal gambling is far more honest than the massive fraud that is so common on Wall Street.
"I lost $12 million on four publicly traded companies -- WorldCom, Enron, Tyco and PurchasePro. When I made my investments, I relied on audited financial statements from big six accounting firms, on analysts who looked at the companies and said everything was on the up and up. And I lost $12 million and all four of these deals were total frauds. I believe on Wall Street, in one millisecond, there's more dishonesty than has taken place in the entire history of sports betting, poker and casino gambling," he said.
Walters says he is tired of seeing Las Vegas and the gambling industry get raked over the coals, including a report just last week by 60 Minutes about slot machines, a story he says was one of the most unfair pieces of journalism he's ever seen.
He says he was reluctant to give them an interview because he simply didn't trust them to treat him fairly. That perception changed when a new executive producer took over the program and Walters now hopes the report Sunday night will be good for the town.
As you know, 60 Minutes airs Sunday evenings. This week, because of a football playoff game, it will air later than its usual time slot.

There was a lot of talk, after UFC 165's main event, about what some considered to be curious scoring on the part of the judges for Jon Jones vs. Alexander Gustafsson. Now, MMAjunkie has gotten a hold of the official judges scores to pull back the curtain on the round by round winners. At the final bell Jones took the fight on all three cards, 48-47, 48-47, 49-46.
Judge Richard Bertrand, who scored the fight 48-47 for Jones, gave him rounds 2, 4, and 5, scoring 1 and 3 for Gustafsson. Judge Doug Crosby, who also scored the fight 48-47 for Jones, had the champion winning 3, 4, and 5, giving Gustafsson rounds 1 and 2. And finally, judge Chris Lee, who scored the fight 49-46 for Jones, only awarded Gustafsson the first round, awarding 2, 3, 4, and 5 to Jones. All Judges agreed that Jones won 4 and 5 and that Gustafsson won round 1, it was only the middle two that saw them divided in their scoring.
It was somewhat surprising to me, personally, that only one judge awarded Gustafsson round three, as it was the round that I felt he most clearly won. But I suppose that only goes further to show the difficulties in scoring this fight. What do you think? Did the judges get it right? What rounds did you have Jones and Gustafsson winning?

It is neither easy nor cheap to move water from the Colorado River into Pima County, and it may get more expensive.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) wants to remove some of the haze from national parks and wilderness areas throughout Arizona.
To do that the EPA is requiring an upgrade to the coal power plant in the northern part of the state. The same plant that pumps water in the CAP canal, uphill, to Tucson.
That would mean higher energy bills for CAP and right on down the line to the water users. Water costs could rise as much as 12 percent for Tucson and other major cities, and the number could be triple that for farmers.
The cost increase will likely not go into effect for at least five years; however, the time for resident's voices to be heard is now. The public comment period ends in just about two weeks.

She nixed the "I voted" stickers to save money, but Pierce County Auditor Julie Anderson has come up with a replacement: a profile picture that proclaims "Pierce County Votes."
Anyone can get the image from the auditor's webpage, piercecountywa.org/auditor, or at the auditor's Facebook page, facebook.com/PierceCoAuditor, or Twitter account, @PierceCountyAud. By clicking on the link in the post, you'll get an automatic download for your profile or page.
The image reads "Pierce County Votes." The Facebook cover image adds: "I did!"
The pictures will be available Friday but are intended for use only after voting. Ballots start arriving in the mail Saturday.
Election specialist Michelle Ackers created the images. The Auditor's Office searched for a young artist to come up with a design, but no one stepped forward, Anderson said. The Auditor's Office offered to pay $100 for a design.
Anderson said the goals for adding the images for social media are "to give visibility to the election and to create peer pressure to encourage participation."
"Just like the stickers in the voters' pamphlet, this is an honor system," Anderson said.
"We won't be validating anyone's voting record," she said. "If we did background checks on everyone who wanted to use the image, then it would be more expensive than the darned sticker we're replacing."
In July, Anderson eliminated those "I voted" stickers, which where were inserted in the voters' pamphlet. The cost: about $20,000 for each countywide election.
The Nov. 5 election is Pierce County's first minus the stickers but with the social media pictures.

Top 10 Worst Members of the Justice LeagueA column article, Top Ten by: Danny Djeljosevic, Maxwell Yezpitelok
The basic premise of the Justice League ("superheroes doing stuff") leads to a lot of interpretation. Some people took it as "Let's put all our popular characters into one book! That sounds like fun, right?" others went a different direction and said "Let's make them a glorified street gang in Detroit" and at least one person said "EXTREEEEME JUSTICE!" As such, its membership has encompassed a lot of characters. Which means a lot of crappy characters have been on the team.
The Comics Bulletin staff lovingly assembled this list of the absolute shittiest characters in the entire history of the team, nominating their most hated JLAers and ranking them from bad to worst. But then something shocking happened: nobody wanted to write about these sad pathetic losers. So, it's up to Daniel Djeljosevic and Maxwell Yezpitelok (our own sad pathetic losers) to tell you about them.
10. Maxima
Danny: An aggressive, be-caped superwoman who intimidates the other members of the Justice League, Maxima was called upon to join the Justice League America after Starfire was deemed "too naked" by the other members and not because Dan Jurgens wanted to put one of his pet characters from Superman into the book. Unlike Power Girl, Maxima has a navel window instead of a boob window and is named after my uncle's choice of automobile.
According to Wikipedia, nobody bothered to resurrect her during Blackest Night. Not even the DC Universe cares about Maxima.
And, hey, didn't an issue of Extreme Justice show Maxima making out with Amazing Man while watching a porno?
Max: I've never read Extreme Justice, but you've just made me want to look it up. I'm only aware of the Maxima/Amazing Man romance because I just saw them making out in that recent Colgate ad featuring every interracial superhero couple ever published by DC (meaning: them).
I actually like those JLA issues where Maxima's subjects in her home planet blame her for going off and trying to lay Superman while they're being conquered by guys like Brainiac and Starbreaker. There's a touching scene where Maxima suffers in silence over the loss of her crown and Booster Gold tries to comfort her. An unexpected display of emotion from a character so often treated as two-dimensional.
He was probably just trying to get laid, though.
9. Argent
Danny: Hey, another Dan Jurgens creation! I have a feeling we're going to rag on the guy a lot. If you don't remember Argent, I don't blame you: she was part of Jurgens' Teen Titans run from the mid-to-late nineties -- you know, where they were all-new characters led by a teenage Atom? A neat move to take with the team, but it failed to catch on and was canceled after two years.
If you don't remember Argent joining the JLA, I don't blame you -- she's a member during the dystopian, Darkseid-ruled future of "Rock of Ages" where she dies helping the time-lost heroes save the day. Her powers are a bit like Green Lantern's except she creates silver snot.
Hey, remember Team Titans? Why was that a good idea?
Max: Sorry, my memories of Team Titans were erased by an entropy wave during Zero Hour.
The thing about Argent's inclusion in Morrison's future JLA is that it was just so random. I mean, why Argent? Morrison probably emptied his comp box on the floor and used whichever character happened to be featured on the first comic that landed open. This could've easily been one of the guys from Young Heroes In Love.
8. Snapper Carr
Danny: Because Julius Schwartz thought kids wouldn't care about the JLA unless come kid was hanging around them ("Who cares about Batman? I want to see someone like me!" the kids of the sixties screamed), Gardner Fox came up with Snapper Carr, a youngster whose abilities include snapping his fingers excessively and being covered in lime at all times. The latter turned out to be quite fortuitous considering it was Starro the Conqueror's weakness in the team's first published adventure.
Over the years, succeeding writers have realized that nobody cares about this young punk and so he's become a one-man Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, getting superpowers from alien invasions, becoming future robot Hourman's roommate, and becoming a minor agent in Checkmate -- all the while none of us have noticed. It's a miracle he hasn't yet been killed to make a terrible story seem "edgy."
Did I just speak too soon?
Max: Didn't this guy use to hang out with the Hulk? No? That's what's he's missing, you know. A big angry best friend who likes to destroy things and kill people. Someone hook him up with Doomsday.
I own that one-shot that featured Snapper and the other unremarkable humans that got superpowers in Invasion forming a new superhero team. I think that's the only time anyone ever tried to use Snapper as a main character rather than a sidekick – which is probably why that team never ever showed up again (even if Snapper did).
7. Steel II (Hank Heywood III)
Danny: Ah, Steel -- the character who refuses to go away. Did you know he had his own series in 1978? As you might have guessed, the Gerry Conway-written series only lasted 5 issues and a few years later Hank Heywood's grandson (the "Worst JLAer" in question) ended up in the Justice League during the also-Conway-written and much-maligned "Detroit" years. J.M. DeMatteis mercifully killed him at the end of that series, and Geoff Johns mercilessly introduced a brand new superheroic member of the Heywood family in Justice Society of America.
I've got a feeling that Gerry Conway invented the idea of introducing pet characters into superhero teams when he brought Firestorm into the JLA a few years earlier. Anyway, Steel's basic pitch is "The Six-Million Dollar Man meets Captain America" and I think we can all agree that this particular line of superheroes named Steel aren't quite as useful as the one everyone associates with Shaquille O'Neal.
Max: That was mighty clever of Conway: he wanted to use his WWII-based hero in the modern day JLA, so he simply gave him a grandson who looked exactly like him. I guess throwing the guy into an iceberg and having Vibe and Gypsy discover him in the Detroit bay would have been too much.
I've just learned that the original Steel went back into action after his grandson was killed, and then became a member of a team called Shadow Fighters along with guys like Peacemaker and Chunk, the fat guy from Flash comics. He was later killed by Eclipso, the Geoff Johns of the 90's.
6. Triumph
Danny: A tragic figure in the Marvel Universe, Paul Jenkins devised Triumph as an apocryphal sixties Marvel creation, complete with a meta-story involving Stan the Man having created Triumph only to just plum forget about him -- totally understandable, since he seems like a thinly-veiled Superman clone and Marvel was in the business of creating thinly-veiled clones of Doom Patrol and Challengers of the Unknown. Still, it was an interesting meta-experiment, attempting to weave this completely new creation back into Marvel history.
A few years later Brian Michael Bendis ran with the guy, showcasing him in his Avengers books as their resident powerhouse (in lieu of Thor), growing ever unstable as the series progressed. By Siege, Triumph proved a tragic figure as he gave in to the literal demons in his head and suffered a death so ignoble that not even the superheroes seemed to care very much when he died. Probably because they, too, saw Triumph as a thinly-veiled Superman clone.
Wait, who's Triumph?
Max: Silly Danny! That's The Sentry you're talking about! Triumph is a completely different blonde haired Superman clone who was also introduced as an old superhero everyone had forgotten, also turned into a villain, and also died an undignified death (he was killed off panel at some point during Morrison's JLA, basically because Morrie forgot he had stored him in the Watchtower's trophy room).
I haven't actually read the issues where Triumph first showed up, so to me, his story sounds like an amusing comedy sketch: the JLA is having a meeting and this guy nobody has seen before shows up and sits on the main chair. "So – what's new?" After a few seconds of silence someone asks who he is, and he's like "It's me, man! I'm Triumph! I founded this team? Come on!" Of course, the sketch would have ended with the guy being dragged out of the building by security, not turned into an ice statue by The Spectre and stored in a trophy room.
5. Black Condor
Max: Another member of Dan Jurgen's "edgy" Justice League. This guy was a revamped version of a Quality Comics character created by Will Eisner, and his schtick consisted on constantly reminding people that he "wasn't no hero". He was in the League for like five issues, in which he acted as the surrogate jerk while Guy Gardner was indisposed. He also got to fight an evil version of Hawkman -- the whole reason they put him on the team, I suspect. He left the League as soon as that storyline ended, because, you know, he wasn't no team player either. Then he joined Primal Force.
Black Condor was killed along with most of the Freedom Fighters in Infinite Crisis #1, and later brought back as a DC zombie during Blackest Night. No, I didn't spot him there either, I just read that in Wikipedia.
Danny: Ew, Primal Force. Where the highest-profile member is Red Tornado. Guy may as well have joined Xenobrood.
Can we assume that Black Condor is what happens when editors want to keep their characters out of other books? Dan Jurgens probably wanted Hawkman but his editor came to him with the bad news: "Sorry, the guy who edits Hawkman won't let us use him. Have you heard of Black Condor?"
To which Dan Jurgens let out a loud sigh and said, "Fine. Only if you let me use Agent Liberty."
4. Agent Liberty
Max: Is there a single member of Dan Jurgens' replacement League that didn't make this list? You know, from reading this article you'd get the impression that Jurgens' was the worst run in JLA history. It really wasn't; he just had some crappy characters, that's all.
Agent Liberty was another Jurgens creation, introduced in Superman comics during the early 90's. At the time I kinda liked him, my rationale being that he had a really cool costume. He looked a little like The Guardian, only he had a jetpack and retractable blades coming out of his sidearms. His suit could also generate a force field, an ability I loved to abuse when playing with action figures as a kid. Anyway, by the time I read the Justice League issues where he appears I had already turned 12 and didn't see the appeal anymore. Like Black Condor, he was in the team for a short time and didn't really do much.
He was killed last year by Lucy Lane. Yeah.
Danny: As a kid I owned the Agent Liberty Special one-shot, but I cannot tell you what happens in it or why I had it.
You see, the problem is that at this point JLA had a big Superman-shaped hole in it -- one that could only be filled with Wonder Woman and dead weight like Agent Liberty.
JLA doesn't need a Captain America. Cap works in the Avengers because somebody has to keep in line consummate fuck-ups like Ant Man and Hawkeye, but the JLA is a well-behaved bunch of do-gooders -- even a JLA with Black Condor and Maxima on it.
Agent Liberty strikes me as a hardcore military superhero a la Cap in The Ultimates, so it seems like a missed opportunity that he wasn't a CIA plant meant to keep track of these powerhouse vigilantes -- by which I mean Bloodwynd and The Ray. But, according to Wikipedia (oh, like any of you actually know about Agent Liberty), he's a burned CIA agent out to fight government corruption or something.
Let's just be thankful that Jurgens had the good sense not to put Gangbuster on the team.
3. General Glory
Max: The most blatant of the Captain America rip-offs included in this list, and also the best one if you ask me, if only because this one was supposed to be a ridiculous joke. General Glory was an old World War II veteran capable of turning into a muscular adonis upon reciting a patriotic oath given to him by Lady Liberty herself. Under his geriatric idenitity he's a pretty sensible person, but as a superhero he turned into a walking cliche. It's a clever twist on the Captain Marvel concept, and one that becomes more relevant as the average age of the comic fan increases: instead of a teen power fantasy, he's an old guy reliving the glory days of yore (by buying expensive comics at conventions, no less).
So why is he so high on the list? General Glory is depressing because he reminds us of the decadent part of Giffen and DeMatteis' Justice League run, the issues we'd rather not think about. The storyline that introduced him wasn't THAT bad, but it did signal the beginning of the end for the JLI. It didn't help that future writers tried taking him seriously, even creating an updated version with wings, throwable knives, and a gritty attitude.
Danny: Gritty General Glory? You can't be serious. [ Oh god, you're serious.] Talk about missing the point.
JLI was at its best when it walked the line between serious superhero comic and comedy. And even then comedy came from the characters themselves, none of whom (save G'nort) were conceived to be parodic. General Glory, however, was created exclusively to take the piss, dragging the book into the territory of full-on farce that makes the recent reunion comics seem kind of, well, pathetic.
2. Bloodwynd
Max: Bloodwynd. Blood. Wynd. The worst possible name for a superhero -- or anything, really. Created by Dan Jurgens (which goes without saying), Bloodwynd was an "accomplished necromancer" with a mysterious attitude and a dark secret. The secret, as it turns out, was that he was really J'onn J'onzz under the control of a demon called Rott, who was trapped in the gem embedded on his chest. Bloodwynd's chest, I mean. Not Rott's, that would be crazy.
Anyway, Rott's genius plan to secure his freedom was to make J'onn pose as a new superhero called Bloodwynd, gain the trust of the Justice League, and wait for them to come across a large source of energy so he could drain it. Apparently Rott wasn't aware that J'onn was already a trusted member of the Justice League, and that his master plan could have been accomplished in two issues instead of twelve if only he had shown up on their doorstep as himself. Re-reading those issues, it's pretty obvious that Jurgens knew Bloodwynd was J'onn from the beginning, but he had no idea how or why.
Like most comic readers, I first encountered Bloodwynd in the Death of Superman trade paperback, where his real identity is teased but not revealed. I vividly remember the panel where Blue Beetle looks at him and yells "BLOODWYND IS...", only to be yanked by Doomsday and having his head smashed against every surrounding object. I'm sure I'm not the only one who was left intrigued by this turn of events and jumped at the next chance to find out Bloodwynd's identity... only to discover it was some other guy we'd never seen before.
Danny: Bloodwynd can only be the name of an '80s hair metal band. Nothing else.
My research tells me that Bloodwynd was an actual character onto himself, except that Rott trapped him in that big Jewel on J'onn's chest. He's made appearances in a few books since, namely in Day of Judgmentand something called JLA: Black Baptism.
Amazingly, Bloodwynd is still alive. Somebody tell James Robinson!
Also, the black guy turned out to be an alien? And somehow Vibe is #1 on this list?
1. Vibe
Max: Could the number one spot belong to anyone other than Vibe? If Josef Mengele had been a member of the Justice League, I think he'd still come in second to this guy. Along with Steel II, Vixen and Gypsy, Vibe was a member of the infamous Justice League Detroit, a sad attempt at relevance that saw the team relocate to an urban setting and change most of its roster.
My exposure to Vibe is extremely limited: not only did I encounter him for the first time in the storyline where he was killed off (removing the frustration most readers felt when reading a comic in which Vibe did not die), I also read those issues translated to Spanish, which means that the effect of his annoying Chicano dialogue was completely lost.
Danny: "The Vibe Years." You know you're bad when an entire era of a franchise is named after you. Now, I don't want to say Vibe wasn't that bad (mostly because I'm not a racist), but the guy has his charms. By which I mean a brilliantly stupid costume. Mostly, I think Vibe is a result of Gerry Conway wanting to bring some diversity and urban flavor to the League only to wallow in seriously horrendous stereotypes because, well, comics. Also, why doesn't Gypsy wear shoes?
As bad as Vibe is, there are so many worse/more inappropriate characters on the League than Vibe that are much less funny. Amazing Man? Yazz? Golden Age Flash? Mystek? Faith? Geo-Force? Congorilla? Manitou Raven? Mikaal Tomas?

Harms pushes conservative budget approach
State Senator John Harms is pushing for a conservative approach to the state's budget even though the state is projected to receive a windfall of money. The state forecasting board is projecting an increase in funds of $53 million.
Harms says the Appropriations Committee he is a member of voted to put the money in the state's reserves and rejected an effort to apply at least a portion of the extra funds to tax relief. Harms says there is still too much uncertainty about the impact of the drought on the ag economy.
The Committee's budget calls for a 5.2% increase in spending, slightly more than Governor Dave Heineman. Appropriations Committee Chairman Heath Mello said the budget prioritized education, including a slightly lower increase for the University of Nebraska than Gov. Dave Heineman proposed, but did keep in place a two-year tuition freeze. There is also slightly more funding for K-12 education.

JK Rowling Continues Support for MS and other CharitiesJ.K. Rowling
Scores of readers have emailed regarding new charity efforts from Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.
First Jo is lending her support to a young man from Glasgow, Scotland who is trying to raise awareness of the importance of Vitamin D in the battle against Multiple Sclerosis. Scottish TV let us know about video they have with this youngster who "has launched a campaign for pregnant women and children to be given extra doses of vitamin D, which scientists believe might prevent up to 80% of cases." You can read more about the Shine on Scotland campaign here.
Also the Glasgow Evening Times has an article which states that the Volant Trust, the charity started by J.K. Rowling and named in honor of her mother, has made a donation to help Braendam House. This home is place that gives "respite holidays for children and their parents or carers who face everyday poverty, discrimination and disadvantage." The home was facing closure,however thanks to this donation and others, it will remain open for the time being. Cath Morrison, chief executive of the Lilias Graham Trust, said the new money would keep the charity going until at least next March.She said: "It is fantastic news. It was like TV's The Secret Millionaire."
Thanks to John, STV, Maddy, Kristen, JKRfan.com and all who emailed!

The good: You can control the Sonos Play:3 single-speaker streaming-audio system from any iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad, or Android smartphone using a free app. It offers good sound, its compact, elegant design cuts down on cord clutter, and it can stream Internet-based radio and audio services, plus your own digital music collection, from any Mac, PC, or NAS drive. Also, it's simple to set up, particularly if you already own a Sonos system, and linked Sonos players (purchased separately) can cover up to 31 additional rooms.
The bad: The Play:3 has almost no stereo separation and doesn't offer the detail and clarity of the step-up Play:5. Also, while it can wirelessly interact with other Sonos products, you'll need a hard-wired connection or the $49 wireless Sonos Bridge accessory if it's your only Sonos component.
The bottom line: While it doesn't sound quite as good as the larger Play:5, the Sonos Play:3 delivers a superior streaming-audio experience that you can control from any iOS device or Android smartphone.

SONOS PLAY:3 and the SONOS BRIDGE
by Billy-And-Smith on September 1, 2013
Pros: Great sound & build quality
Extremely easy and fast to setup
Software/app is very intuitive and user friendly
Flexible in use and integration
Cons: Not cheap
Simple web-based (non-JavaScript) UI would be a plus

Summary: Not a lot can be said that hasn't been said already about what a great system this is for getting music off your media player or PC out to where you want it. I've had the Sonos 3 and a SONOS BRIDGE for about a year and it's one of the best things I've ever purchased.*Edit
We have a modest house - about 2800 square feet with a pretty open first floor - and this thing puts out such a good sound you can hear the music in nearly any room in the house. It doesn't have a big booming, cloudy sound, like from an old boom box, but it's also not weak in the lower ranges. I can play anything from electronic to jazz to classical clearly and loudly (as loud as the wife will let me) and it sounds just great. I'm still amazed at what a great sound profile this thing can put out, and then I think I haven't even tried out a Sonos 5 yet. That's going to be my next purchase.
A lot of people still don't realize what you really need to get this up and running, so let me clarify. I've got all kinds of networking going on in my house, especially when it comes to moving, saving and playing media files. This is dead easy, but I can see where the novice user might get a little confused.
The Sonos 3/ 5 are great SPEAKER systems, really, for your music, especially if you don't need, or don't have the space for, a full stereo or a bunch of larger speakers. The way to get your music to a Sonos 3/ 5 is to hook it up to your network so it can play tunes off your computer or other media device, like your NAS. The Snos 3/ 5 themselves will require an ethernet connection to your network router (or switch) so you can send tunes to it with the Sonos app for PC or Mac (or Android or iPhone). The Sonos 3/ 5 can do wireless, but not the typical wireless you might have in your wireless router/ AP at home. If you want to use the wireless capabilities for the Sonos, you have to invest in the Sonos Bridge, but it's well worth it.
The Sonos Bridge also needs an ethernet connection to your home network, but if you get one hooked up, the bridge itself will allow you to stream all the music you own plus anything off the internet. (You can still stream internet stuff to your Sonos 3/ 5 by themselves, but your home computer has to be on with the Sonos app running to do that.) Plus, if you get more than one Sonos in the house, the bridge makes it much easier to manage all of them together or separately. The bridge also makes it easy to put the speakers anywhere in the house and get music to them, like out in the garage or the backyard. You just need power for the speakers and you're set.
Overall a great investment, especially if you've got all your music in one place like the hard drive of you computer and especially if you've got a smartphone you already use for everything.

Great product that does what is advertised
by Alfonsog2 on September 3, 2011
Pros: This is a great speaker to play music from a NAS device, but even better for SiriusXM subscribers and/or Spotify or other similar services because you can almost literally stream every song. Totally worth it, in face I bought 2 just for my bedroom since
Cons: I wish it had a line in.

Summary: I think the sound quality is fine, but I'm streaming lossless music. It also sounds great if you like SiriusXM in your car and I think it makes a great alarm clock. I stopped using my iHome for that. Spotify makes it even better; I'm a classical musician and it pretty much has everything ever even for classical.

Network Effect Undervalued in Other CNet Reviews
by sandiver on June 7, 2013
Pros: Walking from room to room w/ perfectly synced sound
Really great for busy kitchen counters tight spots
Can be mounted on the wall (the 5's can't)
Software is great - can share premium accounts w/ guests (everybody can add a tune to the playlist)
Cons: Sonos 5's sound better and are a better 'entry' point if your room is anything other than tiny (not really a knock on Sonos though)
No line-in
Expensive as a pair (but I'd bet they'd sound great - I don't have a pair, so I don't know)
Summary: A couple of folks in the office got Sonos and seemed pleased. I bought a 5 (and bridge) for my kitchen originally and was blown away by the sound. I'...
Summary: A couple of folks in the office got Sonos and seemed pleased. I bought a 5 (and bridge) for my kitchen originally and was blown away by the sound. I'm no audiophile, but I find that I really enjoy listening to music.
In fact I listen to music at my desk at work all the time.
Here I can listen interchangeably from XM/Sirius, Mog, Spotify, Streaming Local and Global Internet all depending on my mood.
I love the feature of being able to Group (very easily by the way) speakers from one room to another. It's fun to build a playlist on the fly while I'm doing one thing in one room and my wife is doing another in another - we had an 80's mix off last night and it was fun (probably dating myself here).
These units are pricey. But they work out of the box, they support NAS perfectly (and you did back up your music to share on your home network didn't you?), and they set up in literally 5 mins.
The point that I thought was missed in the CNET (They touched on it at least) and certainly in these comments was that like any network, once you have one piece of Sonos, the addition of another and another INCREASES each one's value up to the point that you've filled your house.
There are two reasons I love Sonos - once is walking from room to room and hearing the same music synced - you really feel like you've made it. And the point is to enjoy music, isn't it? As CNET says there's really nothing else that competes there.
Second is the number of services, stations, and options that you have to play music. Sure I'd like to vote down songs that come up in my Mog stream, and I can't quickly load (maybe not even possible) the Mog radio for a particular artist or song like I can on Mog.com, but I will accept these limitations if the trade off is to switch from Satellite, Internet radio, my collection, Mog, spotify and whatever's next.
Our nanny can pull up our playlists without knowing a single password, too. So the kids are just a few clicks away from their playlists as well. Pretty cool when one of my toddlers starts bawling for his favorite song.
Just have align your value of what you get (easy operation and mega access) with the price. of course you have to 'like' the sound and not be underwhelmed...for a large percentage of us this is exactly what we want at a reasonable price.
Works OK, but proprietary software is a downer.
by HeathrowTerminal2 on August 27, 2012
Pros: Play music in all rooms. You can use two speakers for real stereo image.
Cons: Proprietary software mimics your own music apps. This is a disaster. Only one account per system - in a household with more people, this is a terrible problem.
Summary: The Sonos software is crap - I'd be bold and say that anyone wanting to duplicate the functionality of, say, Spotify, is always going to be one step behind. ...
Summary: The Sonos software is crap - I'd be bold and say that anyone wanting to duplicate the functionality of, say, Spotify, is always going to be one step behind. Now imagine trying to keep up building software that mimics countless music services and you have a very wobbly experience.
On top of the impossible interface (the Sonos Spotify app for example has a weird queueing system that you just cannot figure out) you can also only access the Sonos speakers with ONE account. Why is that important? It is important because households rarely only holds one person - my wife cannot access the speakers using her own Spotify account and so has to content with my abysmal music taste. This is a major problem.
Also, with the lack of Airplay functionality, you can't just play, say, a movie on your iPad and have the sound streaming. Even in our car this is possible (blue tooth). I hate to think that the sound setup in my car is more advanced than this - as the Sonos system really quickly adds up $$$-wise as you start adding speakers to your home.
I haven't even begun to figure out how to play music from my iPhone which is in my iTunes library....
Lastly, Sonos does a poor job at explaining how it works up front - for example you DO need the bridge.

Summary: I think the Sonos system is very misleading. I was told that I could access my songs through an IPhone or IPod Touch and downloaded the apps for these devices. I quickly found that my computer has to be powered on in order for the IPhone or IPad to be able to play music on the Sonos. Who wants to have to have their MacBook running just to play music? My computer is in a different part of the house than the Sonos, so now I have to find the computer, start it up, and go back into the room with the Sonos in order to play music!
