The Breakdown in the Relationship Between Economic Growth and Pay
Date: 28. October 2011

This post originally appeared on the Huffington Post
With the fragile recovery in the global economy at very real risk of derailment, strategies for growth remain at the top of agendas across the world. But if we look at the period prior to the crisis of 2008-09, it becomes clear that we need to aim to do more than simply return to 'normal'.
Long before the downturn, there was evidence to suggest that increases in GDP were failing to feed through to broad-based improvements in living standards in a range of advanced economies: for too many ordinary workers, 'growth' no longer led automatically to 'gain'. Although the causes of this breakdown in relationship are many and varied, at their heart lays growing wage inequality.

It was a rough first season for Mike Shanahan in Washington, but there were plenty of signs that his offensive system can work with the Redskins. At receiver, Santana Moss had arguably his best season as a Redskin at age 31, and Anthony Armstrong came out of nowhere to put up 871 receiving yards. TE Chris Cooley tied his career high in receiving yards. RB Ryan Torain showed signs he could be a No. 1 back if he can stay healthy. And all this with QB issues and very spotty blocking up front. Quarterback clearly is the most concerning position heading into the offseason, but the line also is one area that is sure to see a lot of changes. OLT Trent Williams, despite being a little up and down, has shown he can be an anchor along the Redskins' front. But there could be new starters at perhaps three positions up front, with both OG spots being the most likely spots to change.

Its to bad I cant find RJ Rockers stuff around here anymore, I think they make some quality stuff.Poured into a pint glass a clear amber/bronze with a well defined 1/2 finger white head atop,it held very well for a long time.Aromas are a mix of sweet malty caramel and sweetish dough,with a shot of piney hop that comes out more as it warms along with more present alcohol.Love the complexities on the palate,its quite toasty and warming with a big amount of caramel and sweet breadiness,there is a nice shot of piney hop in the finish.Its warming and basically a double ESB in my mind,a little light in the feel, but I really liked this beer.

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a pint glass.
A- A reddish copper with a one finger head that dissipates pretty quickly. And some yeast can be seen floating around.
S-Lots of bread. Smells more and more like a bakery as it warms. Amazing.
T-More bread but less than the smell indicates. Followed by a nice balance of hops.
M- Medium carbonation and thickness. Nice.
If I can find another single to put in a make your own six pack then I am all over it. And it's really good for it's 8.5% abv.

It looks like a barleywine, but I guess a lot of strong ales do. Dark brown, with only the slightest head. Really--it looks pretty normal.
It's got a caramely vibe to it, and both the malts and the hops are aggressive on the nose. The smell--with all that malty hoppiness--is more aligned with a strong ale, but this toffee-like edge still leaves me thinking barleywine.
Malts dominate the taste, but I'm fairly certain it was hoppier the first time I tasted it. It's still like a barleywine, with a malty sweet mouthfeel countered by a bittering hop presence. Oddly, this is like an Arrogant Bastard Ale mixed with its more potent brethren, the Double Bastard--and the 8.5% ABV is probably spot-on for such a mixture! It's a pleasant enough beverage, and one I'll likely pick up again when I come across it on the shelves.

12oz brown bottle, no freshness date.
Hazed copper color with a good amount of foamy suds and good head retention from that as well. Smells fruity, hoppy and faintly buttery with a clean ester alcohol in back. Smooth with a medium to full body and slightly prickly carbonation. Underlying breath of alcohol with each sip. Hint of caramel within the maltiness yet there is more of a dry bready and toasted biscuit flavor. Hops come across with a balancing bitterness and a semi-pungent orange-mint combo flavor. Finishes a little bitter and dry.
I really do love strong ales like this where there is some balance and still drinkable. A thumbs up!

Thanks to blutt59 for sharing this bottle. This is my first beer from the great state of South Carolina.
The beer pours an orange-amber color with a white head. The aroma is very malty with caramel and toffee notes. The flavor is lots of caramel malt but not too much else. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

Found this at a local grocery store. So I had to give it a try, being that its a localy made microbrew.
Nice orange beige color, that poured up thick with a velvety head. Not much in the way of lacing, but has decent head retention.
Very nice aroma, hints of vanilla and caramel to be sure.
The taste reminds me of a fine congnac, something to be sipped and savored. Very malty, but not at all overly sweet. The hops seems to balance out the sweet malt wonderfuly, with a finish that is neither to bitter, nor to sweet.
Mouthfeel is very full and satisfying, velvety smooth as it hits the back of my toungue.
Overall, one of the best brews to ever grace my palate. Not a beer to be guzzled down by anymeans, as it does have a much higher alcohol content then your standard beer.
It would be a disgrace to simply chug down such an outstanding brew. Savor this beer slowly and enjoy!!

12oz bottle poured into an Allagash snifter. Thanks to theghost3 for this!
Pours a deep gold, fairly hazy with a small head, nice lacing. Smell is malty and sweet with a tinge of hop bitterness to it.
Taste is very malty with a bitter finish, body is a bit light and watery but still very solid. You would never know this is 8.5% either. Nice and easy drinker.

Very cloudy copper coloured body with an orange glow and a thin-ish tan head. Aroma of strong malt, alcohol, caramel, pit fruits. Malty flavour with not much behind the initial taste showing some alcohol, a bit of pit fruits and not much else really. Aftertaste shows a little bit of hops (I'm pushing the envelope here to find something positive) and a tiny bit of pit fruits and almost nothing else. Overall, a pretty uninteresting beer - I was expecting much more from the taste, but this one is very weak in the flavour - the look and smell are okay, but there is nothing at all to this beer. I think I've grown tired of giving RJ Rockers my money to be uninspired by their work. It's almost as if they throw 3 ingredients in and a little hops, and call it a day on all their stuff.

12 oz bottle served in a pint glass. No indication of beer style on the label. Were it just a bit less sweet, I'd guess DIPA.
A - Pours a hazy orange-amber color with a modest tan head that has great retention and leaves some lacing.
S - Has a sweet and fruity (spicy citrus) aroma with the high ABV fairly well hidden. Sweet malt base.
T - Sweet and malty up front with hints of orange hard candy. Plenty of hops in there too, athough more might be better given the heavy sweetness. Rather than balancing nicely, the sweetness and bitterness seem to battle each other with the early dominance of sweetness eventually losing out to hop bitterness in the bittersweet finish. Alcohol is hidden except in a slight warming sensation and a very mild tongue burn.
M: Full body with very good carbonation. Sticky. No ill effects of the alcohol.
O: A bold and flavorful beer that is reminiscent of Bell's Hopslam, albeit much sweeter and less finely crafted. In fact, my main reservation about this beer is that it seemed a bit roughly put together, like a very good homebrew. Some of that impression comes from the high levels of both sweetness and bitterness, with the bitter losing out until the aftertaste. It also lacks the complexity of a world class brew. Still, as a local brew it is about about half the price of Hopslam. Worth a try, for sure.

(Served in a snifter) Thanks to cbak999 for this brew
A- This beer has a hazy orange body with a bubbly yellowish -beige head that stays creamy for a good while. There are a few tiny bubbles gliding up the side of the glass.
S- The rich citrus hops blends with caramel malt and some rich graham aromas come through as the beer warms.
T- The pungent quality of green hops mixes with the soft orange hop flavors. This blends with the caramel malt that has some softer biscuit malt qualities to it. There is a dry finish with a pungent note that lingers.
M- This beer has a medium mouthfeel that is creamy as long as the head last and doesn't have any alcohol heat. There is a gentle carbonation prick in the finish.
D- This beer has a full pungent hop flavor with support from caramel malt and other softer hop flavors. This is really easy to drink especially for 8.5 %. It would be nice to taste this with a bit of age as I suspect the hops would soften and the malt would grow.

Received in a trade from casemw!
Pours to a orange color that is cloudy with a slight off white head. The head had some retention with good lacing left on glass.
Mainly get the strong aroma of the hops in this brew. Nice!
You get a sweet tasty bitterness with the hops in this brew with a hint of malts.
Full body with a good carbonation!
A nice very drinkable brew!

Water Bottle Prank On The Po-Leece
Mon, March 5, 2012
I would highly recommend that all of you try this. Nothing bad could possibly happen. Most of the cops were pretty good about it. They had a nice sense of humor and didn't over react. Sure there were a couple morons, but that's true for any profession. Like today, I ordered a 6 inch turkey sub from a deli and instead got a 6 and 1/3 inch sub. Idiots. I'm getting an attorney.

You can upset your spouse even more if you don't acknowledge your spouse's feelings, if you try to fix things, or if you downplay the reason your spouse is upset. Your spouse can upset you by being irrational or if set boundaries and ground rules in your marriage were crossed or not followed.
"The next time you are upset with your partner, instead of attacking with angry accusations, take some time to calm down first. When you are feeling peaceful again, you can work together to build a stronger relationship."
Source: The Marriage Garden Program.
Here's What You Shouldn't Say to an Upset Spouse
- "It's not a big deal." Yes it is a big deal to your spouse. Your spouse's feelings and thoughts about the issue do matter.
- "I can make this better for you." Thinking you have the solution to your spouse's problem or issue will probably be taken as patronizing. Your spouse may want understanding and not comforting.
- "I had a worse day than you did." The one-upmanship game is not winnable. Don't play it.
- "Whatever" or "I don't care." If you want to come across as being super insensitive, say "whatever" or "I don't care." Those two phrases will guarantee you will have an even more upset spouse.
- "I did not ..." Being defensive will only escalate the argument or issue the two of you are dealing with.
- " ...." Saying nothing or leaving the room without saying you want a time out or space for a bit is not a good idea when you have an upset spouse.
- "You don't make sense." Your spouse may have a different take on the situation, but that doesn't mean your spouse's concerns aren't valid or that your spouse needs a lecture from you.
- "You turn me on when you're angry." Suggesting that the two of you have sex when you have an upset spouse may be perceived as demeaning and insensitive.
Here's How You Should Respond to an Upset Spouse
- Acknowledge your awareness that your spouse is upset. Don't ignore the situation or try to make a joke about it.
- Watch body language. Listening involves more than hearing what your spouse has to say. Noticing the non-verbal communication that you both show can give you more understanding.
- Avoid the eye roll. Rolling your eyes can escalate the tension between the two of you.
- Don't just walk away. If you need time to think through the situation or some space for yourself or think your spouse needs some space, say so before leaving the room.
- Accept your spouse's feelings as being okay. You may not like how your spouse feels but you are required to respect those feelings.
- Share your own feelings. You can share your thoughts about the problem later. Don't delay in sharing how you feel.
- Say "I love you." Actually say the words. Don't elaborate. Just say it.
- Don't make any big decisions while either of you are upset. Don't rush into making major decisions.
- Know when and how to apologize. A meaningful apology requires more than saying "I'm sorry."

Diabetes Health Center
Eye Health and Diabetic Retinopathy
How Is Diabetic Retinopathy Diagnosed?
An eye doctor can detect diabetic retinopathy after conducting a thorough eye exam. The exam will likely include pupil dilation so that the doctor can look for any changes in blood vessels, new blood vessel growth, swelling of the retina, and retinal detachment.
How Is Diabetic Retinopathy Treated?
In most cases, laser surgery can prevent significant vision loss associated with diabetic retinopathy.
A procedure called laser photocoagulation can be performed to seal or destroy growing or leaking blood vessels in the retina. Although the procedure is not painful, laser surgery may decrease a person's peripheral vision.
In some people with diabetic retinopathy, the blood that leaks from blood vessels in the retina may also leak into the vitreous humor, clouding vision. A surgical procedure called a vitrectomy can be used to remove the blood that has leaked into this part of the eye.
If diagnosed in time, almost 90% of people with late-stage diabetic retinopathy can be saved from blindness.
Can Diabetic Retinopathy Be Prevented?
You can help protect yourself from diabetic retinopathy by having your eyes checked at least once a year by an eye care specialist. Women who have diabetes and become pregnant should have a comprehensive eye exam during the first trimester, and close follow-up with an eye doctor during pregnancy (this recommendation does not apply to women who develop gestational diabetes).
You can also help slow down the development of diabetic retinopathy by keeping your blood sugar and blood pressure in check.
When Should I Call the Doctor About Diabetic Retinopathy?
Contact your doctor if you:
- Have black spots in your vision
- See flashes of light
- Have "holes" in your vision
- Have blurred vision

the guy is extremely pathetic as a commentator. waaay too biased. it's almost sad. maybe someone should tell him to lay off the weed and he wouldn't be so homotional. he has to go.
either that or give us the option to watch without commentary and just the ring and crowd noise. that is even better than being at the fight imo.

I was going to vividly and poetically describe the majestic tear of joy that trickled down my cheek when I heard that decrepit old fart was calling it quits, in honor of all the useless mental pictures he tried to paint after each broadcast.

Instant replay goes off without a hitch
Solomon calls two-minute, 15-second process 'flawless'
Instant replay was used in Major League Baseball for the first time on Wednesday night on the seventh day and in the 81st game since it became available to determine a contested home run. In the words of Jimmie Lee Solomon, MLB's executive vice president of baseball operations, it could not have gone better."It was flawless," Solomon said. "Everything went the way it was supposed to go." The first instance involved a fair or foul determination in the ninth inning at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg when Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez hit an apparent home run high beyond the left-field foul pole. The two-run shot off Rays closer Troy Percival was ruled fair by third-base umpire Brian Runge. Tampa Bay manager Joe Maddon met on the field with the umpires and persuaded crew chief Charlie Reliford -- who was positioned at second base -- to utilize replay for the first time, setting that process in motion.
"Being unsure of the process, I started with [home-plate umpire Greg Gibson], and I said, 'I can't really tell if it's fair or foul,'" Maddon said. "He said it was [Runge's] call, so I went down there and said, 'Brian, listen man, I'm not jumping on you right now. That ball is high and that pole is not high enough. And I would like you guys to talk about it.'"
After viewing the replay, Reliford upheld Runge's ruling -- it was a fair ball and therefore a home run, giving the Yankees an 8-3 lead in a game they would go on to win, 8-4. The process took two minutes, 15 seconds."Sometimes it takes longer for the manager to get kicked out of the game," said Rays catcher Dioner Navarro, who was behind the plate during home run and complimented the process by calling it "perfect."
Reliford entered the visitors' third-base dugout. Once there, he opened a metal cabinet and used a secure phone line to call MLB.com headquarters in New York to view the applicable replay clips on the flat-screen TV in front of him."When Reliford made the decision that he wanted to go to instant replay, he made his sign and he went to the replay location," Solomon said. "We had already racked up the replays for him [in New York]. He took a look at them and was able to confirm the call on the field."
It was then up to Reliford's discretion to overturn the original call. He didn't. Anyone in uniform arguing thereafter would have been automatically ejected from the game."Everything went exactly like they trained us it would go," Reliford said.
This is what general managers had envisioned late last year when they voted 25-5 to explore using instant replay on such a limited basis. Solomon, in his position as head of baseball operations, was charged with helping create a plan that would be approved by Commissioner Bud Selig, who implemented it with agreement from the unions for the umpires and players this past Thursday."We felt that we could get the play right or confirm it," Solomon said. "In this case, we are able to confirm that the play was called right. And we did it in a short period of time. We did not have a long delay in the game. In fact, we probably did it much faster than if both clubs were allowed to argue back and forth." The limited application of instant replay is utilized only to determine if a home run was fair or foul, in or out of the ballpark, or if there was fan interference, and the final ruling is made by the crew chief.
"There's probably 800 players in the big leagues, and the odds of me being involved were probably 2-1. It's funny," Rodriguez said. "Somehow I find myself in those situations all the time. It was just nice to get the right call and get a fair ruling."
The home run was the 549th of A-Rod's career, passing Mike Schmidt for sole possession of 12th place on baseball's all-time list.
"It was pretty time-efficient, and that was good," Rodriguez said. "Sometimes they meet for four or five minutes. Today probably saved us about four or five minutes, and they got it right. They feel good about it and we definitely feel good about it."
Said teammate Johnny Damon: "Our games go so long anyways, a couple of minutes isn't going to be a big deal."

Test Center preview: Microsoft's "Katmai" is filled to the brim
SQL Server 2008 release candidate sports improvements across the board, but the head turners – and disappointments – will mostly impact large shopsFollow @infoworld
One big caveat with sparse columns is that they don't work with compression. Frankly, this is a big mistake by Microsoft, and I hope the company does right by its users, pushing this fix into a service pack instead of waiting for the next release. In the meantime, if you have sparse columns defined on a table, don't expect to compress your data on it as well. I honestly don't know what Microsoft was thinking with this one, but this should never have gotten out the door. Sparse columns and compression are a perfect match; this one may deserve a Darwin Award.
Compressed indexes are just what they sound like: another opportunity to save storage space. Filtered indexes allow you to put a where clause (just like a query) on your index so that only a portion of your table is indexed. It may seem counterproductive, but there are several instances where you would want to filter an index. The perfect example is with sparse columns. Instead of keeping an index that contains mostly nulls, you would put an index on the sparse column where the value does not equal null. This way, only the rows with actual values will be indexed and the size of your index decreases significantly.
Good workload, bad workload
The Resource Governor is Microsoft's first real attempt at a resource governor in SQL Server. And honestly, it doesn't hold a candle to Oracle's. SQL Server 2008 allows you to define resource limits on memory and CPU, which is a good start, but as I said in my review of Oracle Database 11g, those metrics quite often aren't adequate to define a rogue workload.
In Microsoft's defense, the aim of Resource Governor isn't to define rogue queries just yet. In this first version, the goal is simply capping those resources for workloads to help keep them from becoming rogue processes. Of course, that still doesn't solve the problem of excessive disk usage or processing time. And there's no way to automatically move a process to a defined Resource Governor if it starts using too many resources. A process either belongs to a Resource Governor and has its resources capped, or it doesn't.
I think the biggest boon for this feature may be on OLTP (online transaction processing) systems where some light reporting may be necessary and you don't want it to take up too much of your server's resources. You can put the query processes into their own Resource Governor to cap their resource usage and keep the bulk of the server's power for the OLTP load that actually makes money.
Change Data Capture (CDC) is a very nice feature that I think will be very popular among DBAs grappling with ETL (Extract, Transformation, and Load) processes. CDC allows SQL Server to capture which rows and columns have changed on the defined columns and put the changes into a separate table that can be queried by ETL. The benefit is knowing -- without having to perform extensive queries -- which rows have been inserted, deleted, or updated. Currently, finding these operations in a table isn't easy, and you quite often have to write code into your process to mark these activities. But with CDC, you can define these audit policies at the database level and not have to make those drastic changes to your application code.

Simon Bisley in Poland: Simon SaysA comics interview article by: Michal Siromski
edited by Michal Siromski
Based on utterances from meeting with the fans, the press conference and an interview with artist
Our friends at KZ Magazine in Poland were kind enough to permit Comics Bulletin to publish this interview they conducted when Simon Bisley was in Gdansk. The material was originally published inKZ magazine, the most important Polish online magazine dedicated to comics.
About the creation of his graphic style:
Simon Bisley: As far back as I can remember I was always drawing, so I was probably born with a pencil in my hand. I haven't finished art school; I think that my style is created through work. There is no philosophy; you have to draw all the time, practice, practice and just get it done. The passion may help.
What do I think about drawing guides? Yeah, why not. You can learn from a book how to ride a bicycle or fly an airplane, so you can also learn how to draw.
About his technique of drawing:
SB: When I read the script, I already see the scene in my head and try immediately to move it on paper. That's why quite often I pass over the sketch phase. If I draw the same thing too many times, I start to get bored with it. I lose my power and freshness.
I like to work quickly and spontaneously, so one of my favorite techniques is painting. Paint allows me to cover large fragments of the board very fast, so I take sprays, mix paints and just paint; sometimes I add blood and small animals [laughs].
I basically don't use a computer to help with drawing; I just don't see the point. If I see that some frame isn't good or compositionally does not match to the panel, I'd rather draw the entire page from the beginning, than do the computer correction.
Contrary to some opinions, I'm not good at anatomy, so often I use stylizations and big muscles to hide my lack of anatomical knowledge. I'm not fixated on muscular guys. I just usually draw superheroes and I think this is how they should look like. Remember, it's not a realistic drawing. It's always a little grotesque, exaggerated.
About his work tempo:
SB: One page in full color usually takes about 6 hours. Of course, everything depends on the technique used. If I drew Snoopy, I could do a hundred pages a day (laughs).
About artistry:
SB: I'm not an Artist. I am a worker. I'm like a fisherman; he catches the fish, sells it to the market and gets paid. It's the same with me. I just give the people what they want to buy. Besides I usually work with a script, which does not give me too much room for creativity or artistry.
About cooperation with the script writer:
SB: I definitely prefer scripts that give me more freedom. Generally writers leave me action scenes. They just write: "In the next four pages a monster destroys the city; just draw it!"
I really like to add some jokes in the background. It's only comic book. For Christ's sake, you can't be serious all the time.
About a favorite script writer:
SB: As a matter of fact I've worked with only few writers so far. They were all great, but the best was definitely Alan Grant. We have the same kind of mentality. We balanced each other very well. We both also have similar, dark senses of humor and don't take our work on comics too seriously.
About his dream project:
SB: I would love to work with Frank Miller. We could do Batman together, oh yeah! Or we could do some of Marv's story from the Sin City universe. Sub-Mariner is a very cool character. Maybe Venom. Oh he's perfect, Spider-Man is fine too, but I do not want to draw a web [laughs].
About writing scripts himself:
SB: Oh no, it's not for me; it's better to leave this to professionals. Sometimes different ideas come to my mind, which seem to me to be poetic, but probably in fact prove to be really bad. Moreover I have no idea how to use punctuation marks. I'd have to hire a separate person for this; he would have a printed page with dots and commas, he would cut and paste them in the appropriate places in my script [laughs].
About his work on Slaine:
SB: I worked once on the whole panel and blackening borders, that avoided the dirty paper effect, which really annoys me. It gave me full liberty and vigor in the composition of the art on the board. It sometimes happened that I cut out a single panel and used it as a full-page image, so I could keep the effect of epic proportions.
About a Horned God sequel:
SB: No, I wouldn't come back to Slaine; that would be a step back for me. What's done is done, there is no point to doing it again. Besides, now Slaine is drawn by Clint Langley. The guy is really good.
About his covers for Doom Patrol:
SB: Actually I never had any contact with Grant Morrison as part of this work. I just received his scripts. I read them and drew absolutely everything that occurred to me. Though these covers are a bit surreal, it's all good, because they fit the mood of the series. This was the work in which I could perhaps most express myself artistically.
About drawing Lobo:
SB: Alan's scripts were ambiguous, open to interpretation, so usually I took just the beginning and the end of original story and I did between them what I wanted to do. I added all these penguins and gorillas. Alan then just rewrote the dialogue and story so it could be held together somehow [laugh].
Lobo is very special character for me, because he expressed some parts of me. He fits into my drawing style, combines comedy and violent action. A bit like MAD magazine. I always wanted to draw in this style. I would love to do MAD's cover once. It could be fun.
About censorship in Lobo comics:
SB: Lobo is a very brutal series and indeed censorship was inevitable. There was a picture of a guy in one issue with his guts all over in the air. I put arrows for fun to explain where his spleen, heart or liver were, but the publisher removed them.
DC also censored Lobo's birth scene. They didn't like the point of view of that scene, showing Lobo's mother with outstretched legs. Finally they ended up covering her with a blanket.
There was also this fight scene between Lobo and Loo, when Lobo pulls a guy's arms from his shoulders and I drew the blood gushing all over the place. The picture turned out to be too gory and was modified.
Oh, there was also the cover in which Lobo's meat-hook comes out from a man's jaw, with the man's tongue at the end of the meat-hook. It looked too realistic for DC and I had to change it.
About the possibility of a Lobo movie:
SB: Yeah, they keep talking about it all the time, but it's still only a rumor. The only serious approach to the Lobo movie came from Guy Ritchie. Finally however he chose to do the second Sherlock Holmes movie.
I imagine the Lobo movie as a live action film, but in the background we could use cartoony characters like animated Disney characters. With today's technology that's not a problem. Perhaps 3-D animation in the Pixar style would be an interesting idea?
About working for DC Comics:
SB: Working for DC is great. We've cooperated for many years. It's like a family, they look after me: they pay on time and pay well. They pay royalties. I have no reason to complain.
About his work on Hellblazer:
SB: This series had completely different requirements. The horror or magic scenes must work in the context of the Hellblazer's world, as if they were normal, ordinary part of this world. This requires a more realistic and precise graphic style a, perfect form of body language. The comics must look more like a movie. I wanted to see if I could restrain my inflated style and do a normal story, because there was no room there for stylization or penguins in the background. It was the perfect way to improve my professional development and polish my technique.
Drawing Hellblazer is a very hard job, because I compete with artists who use computers in their work. I have to show the best that I can to offer is a higher quality then digitally edited works. I'm better than a computer, better than anyone! I rule! [laughs].
About religion and illustrations from the Bible:
SB: I'm not a religious man, but rather I consider myself as a spiritual person. Why, then, do I like to draw allusions to the Bible? Once Jesus came to me at night and said to me: "You will draw the Bible!" Now I'm afraid that when I go to heaven Jesus will ask me for royalties. Ok, that's a joke. This album is a kind of exercise for me. Like a musician. When he plays guitar, he practices on classic compositions. So it's my practice when creating material, to have allusions to many great classical artists like Michelangelo or Da Vinci. Besides, there are a lot of interesting topics in the Bible. There is love, hatred, suffering, death, life. God and Satan are like Batman and Joker. They are elements of the same reality. They cannot exist without each other.
I would like to paint a crucified Jesus in a real scale. It can't be done like a Lobo comic. It would require a perfect representation of anatomy and muscle structure. For now I don't have time to do it, but I would like to paint this.
About heavy metal music:
SB: I often listen to metal music when I work. The more severe the music, the more relaxed I am. I can't listen to the radio. Sooner or later voices or commercials start annoying me. In addition, every time I draw, my neighbors for some reason make noise. They're always knocking nails or drilling something! I expect that one day when they open their doors I will see that they built a whole Noah's ark while I was drawing! I don't understand; did they know something that I don't know? Is it gonna rain soon or what?
I went through different phases of metal music fascination. Currently my favorite band is Type O Negative. Their October Rust album is fantastic. I also love black metal music such as Marduk, but I ignore the lyrics. Songs about hanging Jesus upside down seem rather ridiculous to me. I've heard Behemoth too, they are very cool, but I didn't know they come from Poland.
About playing the drums:
SB: I play drums very badly. Actually, I'm not a drummer. I just bang them with sticks in a piece of skin outstretched over the wood. On the last gig my band did, the whole audience left except for one guy. We thought that only he was interested in the concert, but it turned out that he didn't leave because he was dead [laughs].
About his friendship with Glenn Danzig:
SB: Yeah, we always make each other laugh, hold each other's hands and run up the hills with the wind in our hair [laughs]. Seriously, we've been friends for thirty years. We are very similar, both stubborn and self-confident. Glenn is really a regular guy, with great sense of humor.
About the so-called British invasion in American comics:
SB: I think that British artists have gained such popularity in America because England and America are closely related historically and linguistically, yet mentally and culturally distinct. British writers are also a little homely, but they're a little exotic for an American audience.
About accepting jobs:
SB: I always look first at the main character and the world represented in comics, how it affects me. I hate to be bored while drawing, I must have fun. Of course earning money is also important. It may sound arrogant, but that's how it works. Besides, I am an arrogant asshole [laughs].
I don't like projects in which the publisher requires me to do many sketches and make many changes. It's not productive for me. It's just stupid. Oh, and I always refuse if the publisher wants to keep the original art.
About doing long series:
SB: I'm not interested. I'd be bored quickly. I've always liked smaller, shorter stuff. Besides, my work is not just in comics. I do quite a lot of other things. So I couldn't do long comics. I have no time for them.
About his painting:
SB: Honestly, I don't have time for painting, although I always wanted to paint landscapes in William Turner's style, with realistic clouds and developed colors. Painting for me is not a matter of subject, but the relationship of the colors.
For some time I have had this idea in my mind to enter a dark studio and just paint the picture and then burn it without looking what came out. That would probably be the most honest, purest work of art that anyone has ever done, completely free of customers expectations.
About male chauvinism charges:
SB: Yeah, I hear this charge quite a lot, but I don't understand it at all. After all, the women I draw are always strong, self-confident and independent. They are never waiting for the help of men.
About his current projects:
SB: I'm still working on Hellblazer and Deathstroke covers for DC. I'm also working with Glenn on a Dante's Inferno album, which is kind of in opposition to the Bible. The album tells the story of the Devil, who falls back on earth, sitting on a rock and watching people as they ruin their lives.
Soon you will see my new fully painted album about a famous monster. It will be 100 pages.
Would I make a comic book in cooperation with a Polish artist? Yeah, sure! Except that nobody's asked me for that...
About his connections with Poland:
SB: I know it exists on a map [laughs]. But seriously, my mom is Polish. She came from Krakow. So I have family here, but I don't know them. My grandfather was in the Polish army during the Second World War. He fought on Monte Casino Hill. After the war he and my grandmother came to England. My mom still argued with her sisters in Polish, so I know one Polish word – "cholera" ("damn it" in Polish). So I definitely have Polish roots and that's cool.
Of course I was looking for information about my family history. It's quite interesting, especially on my mother's side. I'm not exactly sure about the dates, but after the war my grandmother and grandmother's sisters were taken to Siberia, and they worked in a salt mine as forced laborers. Fortunately, they survived.
About his impressions of Poland:
SB: I like Gdansk very much. I am surprised by its medieval dark gothic architecture. The entire old town looks like a fortified castle. And bars, they are everywhere, on every street! There is no escape, you end up at the bar whether you want to or not [laughs].
In doing research for my comics, I drew attention to the Polish armor. I like the Polish flag with its symbol of the eagle, it's very cool. Oh, and Polish money... they have interesting illustrations, they look good. I like your bills.

It's common knowledge that bullies are mean, manipulative and moody. But do you know what to do when the bully is your boss?
Bullies exist in every workplace, but when nurses harass other nurses their harmful behavior can also affect patient care and safety.
Bullying is described as acts perpetrated by one in a higher level of authority, according to the Center for American Nurses. Workplace bullying includes verbal abuse and offensive conduct such as work sabotage. Abusive behavior from your supervisor or colleagues can make you feel like you are walking around with a bull's-eye on your back. Being berated repeatedly by a co-worker erodes confidence, leads to mistakes, breeds burnout and affects your health.
So how do you fight back without mimicking the bullying behavior? Here are steps to take to deal with abusive behavior on the job:
• Speak up. Don't suffer in silence. Ask for help. Go up the chain of command. Report the harassment to human resources if you have exhausted all recourses.
• Learn your organization's policies about bullying.
• Keep your emotions in check. Bullies enjoy making you lose your cool. Remain rational.
• Protect your health. Take care of yourself to deal with on-the-job stress. Make time to engage in a hobby or an activity that relaxes you. Eat well, exercise regularly and get a good night's sleep. Doing so will help you better cope with the negativity at work.
• Write down everything. Document incidents and problems. Save emails and other correspondence. Do not leave this information at work.
• Keep interactions professional. Limit your encounters, if possible.
• Create a supportive network at work. Having colleagues to talk to can minimize stress. They may also serve as witnesses.
• Confront the bully. Doing so may send a message that you are not an easy target. When standing up for yourself, try not to act like a bully with your response.
Nurses need a supportive work environment. Do your part to make sure bullies have no place on the job.

An overwhelming percentage of businesses still fall far short in their efforts to comply with industry data-handling regulations and reduce their likelihood of experiencing a serious leakage incident, according to a new survey.
In a report to be published by the IT Policy Compliance Group on July 18, the consortium of IT compliance and security experts concludes that some 90 percent of all businesses still do not have sufficient policies in place to meet data governance regulations and adequately limit the risk of a breach.
In the survey of 475 companies, a third of whom reported revenues of more than $1 billion last year, the industry group found that an overwhelming majority of the firms expect to deal with at least six business disruptions related to major data incidents per year along with five or more instances of information loss or theft.
While businesses continue to invest policy enforcement software, and other technologies aimed at helping them meet data-handling regulations, said James Hurley, managing director of IT Policy Compliance Group, most are still struggling to fill all the gaps left in their systems that leave them open to potential incidents.
Hurley is also a senior research manager at security software maker Symantec, a member of the compliance policy think tank, along with such organizations as the Computer Security Institute, Institute of Internal Auditors, ISACA, and IT Governance Institute.
Along with well-known federal guidelines, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, many companies are having trouble responding to new statewide data protection measures crafted after the California 1386 bill, which requires businesses to make public notice of severe data incidents, he said.
"When it comes to protecting data, a lot of organizations still find information all over the place that they may not even have control over," Hurley said. "People are finally discovering this is a difficult problem and that the controls they thought they have in place may not be adequate; that they need to rethink those controls and find out where the data inventory actually is because in most organizations, it's not under control."
In addition to gauging what percentage of companies remain at risk for a data breach, the survey also attempted to measure the impact of such an event on the average company. Based on its respondents' replies, businesses that are forced to report major incidents publicly can expect to experience an 8 percent loss of their stock price and an equal 8 percent of their customers.
Companies can also expect to report an 8 percent falloff in their quarterly revenue along with additional costs for litigation, customer notification, and subsequent settlements averaging $100 per each record they lose.
In a nod to the increased challenge of meeting regulations and lowering data leakage within enterprises, the report concludes that larger companies are more likely to have incidents, based on its research. Organizations with less than 1,000 workers average roughly 8 percent in revenue and customer losses per event, whereas companies with more than 100,000 employees can expect to lose 12 percent of their sales and clientele.

We all know that knowledge is power but that statement especially rings true in the world of online retailing. Developing and revising strategies for implementation at all levels of your business—from growing your technology infrastructure to scale to all aspects of your web site design and the testing of its functionality across multiple platforms to inventory and supply chain management issues to your marketing plans and so much more—require ceaseless effort. They also require that you've done your due diligence on the competitive strategies, marketing practices and new technologies that propel the growth of web-based retailing.
That's where the 448-page 2014 Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide® comes in. Its sheer volume of exclusive competitive data gives you invaluable insights on how to help grow your business in an increasingly crowded e-retailing landscape.
• More than 130,000 facts and figures
• 263 metrics tracked per retailer
• An index of 2,272 e-commerce executive names
• A comprehensive scope: The Guide's overview article covers all Top 500 trends—who's winning and losing among online retailing's largest players, and what's driving overall growth in online sales
• The battle of the merchant types: With Amazon at the helm, web-only retailers continue to grow the fastest among all merchant types and represented nearly half of all Top 500 growth last year. However, store-based retailers are catching on to the power of the web and have launched initiatives to leverage their stores in concert with the web to grow online sales 16.7% to $88.76 billion, and the result is they comprise 30% of total Top 500 growth as a merchant type.
• Spotlight on technology: Feature technology story on e-commerce platform providers to mid-tier retailers
"The Top 500 Guide® is a wealth of market data on Internet retailing that you really can't find anywhere else. We use it frequently to discover market trends, track market leaders and discover ways that we can improve our offerings to stay ahead of the competition."

Rocky the Musical Will Play Broadway's Winter Garden Theatre in 2014
By Adam Hetrick
Rocky the Musical, the new stage production based on the Academy Award-winning film, and featuring a score by Ragtime Tony Award winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, will arrive on Broadway in February 2014 at the Winter Garden Theatre.
The musical, which has a book by Tony Award winner Thomas Meehan (Annie, Hairspray), premiered in Hamburg, Germany, last fall. It will officially open on Broadway in March 2014. An on-sale ticket date will be announced shortly.
"Rocky" creator/star Sylvester Stallone produces the stage production along with Stage Entertainment.
Tony Award nominee Alex Timbers (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, Peter and the Starcatcher, Here Lies Love) directs. The Hamburg production is performed in the German language, but was first written in English by its American writers. A cast album is currently available.
"I couldn't be more proud or more excited about this production and how my original story of Rocky Balboa has been brought to spectacular life onstage," Stallone said in a statment. "The story of Rocky was very much like my life at the time – starting out with nothing, having to fight for roles and recognition. So I put those feelings into the body of a boxer and I had no idea there were so many millions of people that felt the same way. Alex Timbers and the entire creative team have not only honored that original impulse, but have made his story as exciting, heart-breaking, and inspiring as it was when Rocky first went the distance on screen."
The Winter Garden's current tenant, the hit jukebox musical Mamma Mia!, will transfer to the Broadhurst Theatre later this year.
Broadway has long been the goal for Rocky, which had a New York City workshop in 2011 prior to the Hamburg premiere.
Casting for the Broadway production has not been announced.
The German production stars Drew Sarich, the American actor who has had a prolific career on the German stage, starring there in The Hunchback of Notre Dame and Les Misérables. He last appeared on Broadway in the 2006 revival of Les Misérables and Elton John's Lestat.
The production has boxing choreography by 2012 Once Tony Award nominee Steven Hoggett. Kelly Devine (Rock of Ages) is the choreographer.

Regardless, here is a list of the current UFC champions for your perusal.
UFC Heavyweight Champion - Cain Velasquez (Over 205-265 lbs.)
Can you say revenge? Cain Velasquez absolutely dominated Junior dos Santos over five rounds at UFC 155 to take home the belt. Are we now finally firmly finding ourselves in the age of Velasquez?
UFC Light Heavyweight Champion - Jon Jones (Over 185-205 lbs.)
After absolutely demolishing Mauricio "Shogun" Rua, putting Lyoto Machida to sleep, and persevering through a tough fight with Vitor Belfort, Jon Jones has firmly entrenched himself as champion. And a lot of people are thinking he'll be standing that way for a very long time.
UFC Middleweight Champion - Chris Weidman (Over 170-185 lbs.)
Anderson Silva had been on one of the most dominant streaks in UFC history. But now the middleweight division is Chris Weidman's domain, after two straight unusual finishes of The Spider.
UFC Welterweight Champion - Johny Hendricks (Over 155-170 lbs.)
When Johny Hendricks was able to defeat Robbie Lawler in a classic at UFC 171, it served as a major changing of the guard.
UFC Lightweight Champion - Anthony Pettis (Over 145-155 lbs.)
UFC Featherweight Champion - Jose Aldo (Over 135-145 pounds)
Aldo recently took home a controversial win over former UFC Lightweight Champion Frank Edgar, serving to reinforce his status as the best featherweight in the world.
UFC Bantamweight Champion - TJ Dillashaw (Over 125-135 pounds)When the dust cleared on UFC 173, there was no doubt who the champion was. TJ Dillashaw was as impressive as one can be in defeating Renan Barao.
UFC Flyweight Champion - Demetrious Johnson (Over 115-125)
UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion - Ronda Rousey (Over 125-135)
Ronda Rousey's historic, come-from-behind win over Liz Carmouche made it truly official. She is now the face of women's MMA and the organization's first defending champion.

EVERMAN — A gay couple who spoke out about discrimination has become the target of what police are labeling a hate crime, after threatening vandalism was found at their home.
On Tuesday night, someone spray-painted the words "burn" and a homophobic slur in large black letters on the couple's fence.
"Last night I was angry," said 29-year-old Justin Hudgins. "Now that the anger is gone, I'm more scared, hoping that nobody else can find us."
Hudgins and his partner of eight years, Ben Allen, discovered the graffiti around 8 p.m. Tuesday on their home in Everman, south of Fort Worth.
Last week, News 8 featured Hudgins and Allen in a television story after a Tarrant County wedding hall refused to host the couple because of their sexual orientation.
Since homosexuality is not a federally-protected class, like race, the company was fully allowed to deny them service. However, the discrimination would have been illegal under local laws if the facility had been located a few miles away in Fort Worth.
Hudgins and Allen fully expected to experience backlash after the original news story — especially online — but they weren't prepared for threats at their home.
"I never imagined something like this would ever happen," Hudgins said. "It just felt like going back to school, being bullied in school."
The fence faces a busy street and an elementary school. Allen and Hudgins hurried to cover the slur with blankets so passing schoolchildren couldn't see it.
"I don't want these kids, innocent kids, asking their teacher, 'Why is that on that fence over there? What does it mean?'" Hudgins said.
Everman police said they are investigating the vandalism as a hate crime, which carries more serious penalties if the suspects are caught.
Officers also decided to boost patrols around their home. So far, there are no suspects.
"They were targeted once, so chances are they could be targeted again," said Officer David Merton. "We want to preempt that."
The couple still doesn't regret speaking out. All they're hoping for, they say, is acceptance.
"I think if people don't speak out, you end up with people hurt and lives being torn apart," said Allen, 26. "I feel like this person must be really hurting to try and hurt somebody else."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Standard Register, a Dayton, Ohio-based communications company with a focus on health care, has announced plans to build a new distribution center in Jeffersonville, Ind., according to a news release.
The 335,000 square foot facility, described in a news release as a, "national Center of Excellence for digital printing, kitting and distribution," is expected to be operational early in the third quarter of 2013.
It is not clear how many new jobs this will mean for the area.
The company said the decision was made after the Indiana Economic Development Corp. offered Standard Register EDGE (Economic Development for a Growing Economy) tax credits and a training grant from the Skills Enhancement Fund in support of the project, along with enterprise zone investment deductions from the River Ridge Development Authority.
"Standard Register's $10 million investment in this new Center of Excellence allows us to operate more efficiently, advance our digital printing capabilities and leverage the deep capability of the local workforce to better serve our customers," said Joseph P. Morgan, Jr., president and chief executive of the company, according to a news release.
The release states that the new distribution center, "will leverage industry-leading technologies for advanced color management, planning and scheduling and workflow management. The center will also offer distribution and kitting services similar to Standard Register facilities, including secure storage areas, order fulfillment, track and trace and kitting, while also utilizing RF scanning, bar-coding and RFID technology."
The company says the center's proximity to UPS Worldport gives it easy access to the world's largest fully automated package handling facility.
Some operations from existing Standard Register facilities will be transferred to the new center, according to the news release.

Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.
The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.
Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".
Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.
Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights.
In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states.

Once you dock your ATRIX 4G, the webtop application launches automatically, providing you access to a desktop version of the Mozilla Firefox 3.6 browser (with support for Adobe Flash Player). Super thin, the Lapdock travels easily in your bag just like a regular laptop, and weighs a mere 2.4 pounds. Featuring a 1 GHz dual-core processor and 1 GB of RAM for the horsepower you need to keep pace with all aspects of your online life, the ATRIX can render graphics and games quickly, view social networking sites, as well as use HTML5 web-based applications and supported cloud computing services. You'll also be able to send instant messages and make phone calls - all at the same time. Calls continue uninterrupted even if the ATRIX 4G is removed from the dock.-
