Dave Gibbons (born 14 April 1949[2]) is an English comic book artist, writer and sometime letterer. He is best known for his collaborations with writer Alan Moore, which include the miniseries Watchmen and the Superman story "For the Man Who Has Everything". He also was an artist for the UK anthology 2000 AD, for which he contributed a large body of work from its first issue in 1977.

Gibbons broke into British comics by working on horror and action titles for both DC Thomson and IPC. When the science-fiction anthology title 2000 AD was set up in the mid-1970s, Gibbons contributed artwork to the first issue, Prog 01 (February 1977), and went on to draw the first 24 installments of Harlem Heroes, one of the founding (and pre-Judge Dredd) strips.
Mid-way through the comic's first year he began illustrating Dan Dare, a cherished project for Gibbons who had been a fan of the original series and artist Frank Hampson who, alongside Frank Bellamy, Don Lawrence and Ron Turner are well-liked and inspirational artists to Gibbons, whose "style evolved out of [his] love for the MAD Magazine artists like Wally Wood and Will Elder".[1]
Also working on early feature Ro-Busters, Gibbons became one of the most prolific of 2000 AD's earliest creators, contributing artwork to 108 of the first 131 Progs/issues. He returned to the pages of "the Galaxy's Greatest Comic" in the early 1980s to create Rogue Trooper with writer Gerry Finley-Day and produce an acclaimed early run on that feature, before handing it over to a succession of other artists. He also illustrated a handful of Tharg's Future Shocks shorts, primarily with author Alan Moore.
Gibbons was also known, by sight but not by name, to readers of the short-lived IPC title Tornado. Whereas 2000 AD was said to be "edited" by the alien Tharg, Tornado was "edited" by superhero Big E, who as alter-ego Percy Pilbeam also worked on the magazine. These characters appeared in photographic form within the comic, with Gibbons posing as both Big E and Pilbeam for the entire 22 issue run of Tornado before it was subsumed into 2000 AD.
Gibbons departed from 2000 AD briefly in the late 1970s/early 1980s to became the lead artist on Doctor Who Weekly/Monthly, for which magazine he drew the main comic strip from issue #1 until #69, missing only four issues during that time.
The Doctor Who Storybook 2007 (released Christmas 2006) features a story called "Untitled" which includes the name Gibbons in a list of great artists of Earth history.
Gibbons was one of the British comic talents identified by Len Wein in 1982 and was hired primarily to draw "Green Lantern Corps" backup stories within the pages of Green Lantern for DC. Gibbons' first DC work was on the Green Lantern Corps story in Green Lantern #161 (February 1983), with writer Todd Klein, as well as the concurrently released "Creeper" two-part backup story in Flash #318-319.[3] With Green Lantern #172 (Jan. 1984), Gibbons joined new writer Len Wein on the main feature while continuing to illustrate the backup features. Ceding the "Tales of the Green Lantern Corps" backup features to various other individuals from #181, and with a handful of fill-in issues (primarily by Gil Kane), Gibbons last issue with Len Wein was issue #186 (March 1985). However, Gibbons returned to pencil the backup Tale "Mogo Doesn't Socialize" with Alan Moore in issue #188.
While Marvel Comics reprinted some of Gibbons' Marvel UK Doctor Who work, Eclipse Comics reprinted some of his Warrior work and Eagle reprinted various Judge Dredd tales, Gibbons continued to produce new work almost exclusively for DC throughout the 1980s.[3] For the 1985 Superman Annual #11, Gibbons drew the main story "For the Man Who Has Everything," again written by Alan Moore.
During 1985 and 1986, Gibbons' artwork graced the pages of several issues of both DC's Who's Who in the DC Universe guidebook and Marvel's The Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe Deluxe Edition. In December 1986, he contributed to Harrier Comics' Brickman #1 alongside Kevin O'Neill (who had also illustrated several "Tales of the Green Lantern Corps"), Lew Stringer and others. Between May and August 1988, he contributed covers with Joe Orlando to Peter David and Orlando's four-issue The Phantom miniseries, and in May 1988 he both inked Kevin Maguire's pencilled contribution to the landmark Action Comics #600, and produced the cover to Action Comics #601.[3]
He is best known in the US for collaborating with Alan Moore on the 12-issue limited series Watchmen, now one of the best-selling graphic novels of all time, and the only one to feature on Time's "Top 100 Novels" list.[4] Gibbons' artwork in Watchmen is notable both for its stark utilisation of the formulaic comicbook nine-panel grid layout, as well as for its intense narrative and symbolic density[5] (with some symbolic background elements suggested by Moore, others by Gibbons).
Initially pitched by Moore to utilize the Charlton Comics characters which had been purchased by DC Comics, Watchmen was re-tooled to feature new - analog - characters when it became clear that the story would have significant and lasting ramifications on its main players. Gibbons believes that his own involvement likely came about after the idea was already in its early initial stages. He recalls that he had:
" | ... known Alan for a while and we had tried to get things off the ground with DC and hadn't really succeeded. Then Alan finally broke into DC with Swamp Thing and I guess I must have heard on the grapevine that he was doing a treatment for a new miniseries. I rang Alan up, saying I'd like to be involved with what he was doing. He said 'Oh, yeah great' and sent me the outline for it. Then I was at a convention in the US and asked Dick Giordano, Managing Director of DC at the time, point blank whether I could draw this thing Alan was writing. He said 'How does Alan feel about that?' I said 'Yeah he's fine with it' and Dick said 'Yep, OK, it's yours!'[1] | " |
To complement the story, Gibbons remembers working on rough character designs (which ultimately changed little in their final appearance) from "the descriptions that Alan had provided," trying to come up with "a classic superhero feel but be a little bit stranger ... a sort of operatic look ... an Egyptian kind of a look."[1]
Gibbons also lettered Watchmen and it was his lettering style that later served as one of two reference sources used by Vincent Connare when creating the controversial font Comic Sans in 1994.[6] Gibbons has commented that "It's just a shame they couldn't have used just the original font, because it's a real mess. I think it's a particularly ugly letter form."[7]
Gibbons returned to Watchmen in 2008, producing the behind-the-scenes book Watching the Watchmen to tie into the release of the 2009 film. Watching the Watchmen is his take on the creation of the seminal work, and features a number of rarely seen pieces of artwork including sketches and character designs, as well as "stuff," he says "that I just don't know why I kept but I'm really pleased I did."[1]
From the start of the 1990s, Gibbons began to focus as much on writing and inking as on drawing, contributing to a number of different titles and issues from a variety of companies. Particular highlights included, in 1990, Gibbons writing the three-issue World's Finest miniseries for artist Steve Rude and DC, while drawing Give Me Liberty for writer Frank Miller and Dark Horse Comics.[3] He penned the first Batman Vs. Predator crossover for artists Andy and Adam Kubert (Dec 1991 - Feb 1992), and inked Rick Veitch and Stephen R. Bissette for half of Alan Moore's 1963 Image Comics series (1993).[3]
Rejoining Frank Miller in mid-1994 on Martha Washington Goes to War, the following year Gibbons wrote the Elseworlds title Superman: Kal for José Luis García-López, melding Arthurian legends to the Superman mythos in an "out-of-continuity" tale set in an alternate DC Universe. In Marvel Edge's Savage Hulk #1 (Jan 1996), Gibbons wrote, penciled, inked, colored and lettered "Old Friends," a version of the events of Captain America #110 from the point of view of the Hulk.[8] In 1996 and 1997, Gibbons collaborated with Mark Waid (and Jimmy Palmiotti) on two issues of the Amalgam Comics character "Super-Soldier," a character born from the merging of the DC and Marvel Universes after the events of the 1996 intercompany crossover DC vs. Marvel/Marvel vs. DC.[3]
Among many other covers, one-shots and minor works, Gibbons worked with Alan Moore again briefly on the latter's Awesome Entertainment Judgment Day miniseries, providing (variant) covers to all three issues, on the first issue of Kitchen Sink Press' The Spirit: The New Adventures revival and within the pages of the Alan Moore Songbook. In 1999 he penciled and inked Darko Macan's 4-issue Star Wars: Vader's Quest miniseries.
In December 2001 Gibbons helped Stan Lee re-imagine Green Lantern in the pages of Just Imagine... Stan Lee creating Green Lantern.[3]
In 2002, Gibbons followed Chuck Austen as writer on the Marvel Knights Captain America series, penning issues #17-20 (Nov '03 - Jan '04) for - primarily - artist Lee Weeks. In 2005, he produced a handful of covers for Geoff Johns' JSA, as well as producing the complete original graphic novel The Originals, a black and white graphic novel which he scripted and drew. Published by Vertigo, the work is set in the near future, but draws heavily on the imagery of the Mods and Rockers of the 1960s.
He wrote the DC Comics six-issue limited series The Rann/Thanagar War (one of four lead-ins to the company-wide "Infinite Crisis" storyline) and returned to the Green Lantern Corps with the five-issue Green Lantern Corps: Recharge (Nov. 2005 - March 2006), co-written with Geoff Johns, which spun off into an ongoing, Gibbons-written series in August 2006.
Gibbons was involved in two series released by DC/WildStorm when DC acquired American rights to the IPC stable of characters. He provided cover artwork for the flagship title, Albion, the six-issue limited series written by Leah Moore and her husband, John Reppion (and co-plotted by her father, Alan Moore). Gibbons also wrote the Albion spin-off Thunderbolt Jaxon (April-Sept. 2006), with art by John Higgins. Due to scheduling difficulties,[citation needed] the August 2005-launched Albion actually finished two months after Thunderbolt Jaxon (Nov. 2006).
Gibbons provided covers for three issues of writers Kurt Busiek and Fabian Nicieza's run on Action Comics (issues #841–843) and co-penciled (with Ethan van Sciver) the Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps issue as part of the Sinestro Corps story arc, inspired by a Green Lantern story written by Moore in the 1980s.[citation needed] He contributed to the ongoing Green Lantern Corps title on issues #18-20 (May–July 2007). In the late 2000s, he provided new, alternative covers to IDW Publishing's reprints of his Marvel UK Doctor Who comics. He also designed the logo for Oni Press, the publishers of Scott Pilgrim.[9]
On April 9, 2011 Gibbons was one of 62 comics creators who appeared at the IGN stage at the Kapow! convention in London to set two Guinness World Records, the Fastest Production of a Comic Book, and Most Contributors to a Comic Book. With Guinness officials on hand to monitor their progress, writer Mark Millar began work at 9am scripting a 20-page black and white Superior comic book, with various artists appearing on stage throughout the day to work on the pencils, inks, and lettering. The artists included Gibbons, Frank Quitely, John Romita Jr., Jock, Adi Granov,[10] Doug Braithwaite, Ian Churchill, Olivier Coipel, Duncan Fegredo, Simon Furman, David Lafuente, John McCrea, Sean Phillips and Liam Sharp,[11] who all drew a panel each, with regular Superior artist Leinil Yu creating the book's front cover. The book was completed in 11 hours, 19 minutes, and 38 seconds, and was published through Icon on November 23, 2011, with all royalties being donated to Yorkhill Children's Foundation.[10]
Works other than comics include providing the background art for the 1994 computer game Beneath a Steel Sky and the cover to K, the 1996 debut album by psychedelic rock band Kula Shaker. In 2007, he served as a consultant on the film Watchmen, which was adapted from the book, and released in March 2009.
2009's Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars Director's Cut for the Nintendo DS and Wii platforms featured hand drawn art by Dave Gibbons.[12]

So, this one is being written directly after posting the
last one. The title may be a bit misleading but I was having a conversation
recently about packing and how you always want to leave a little room in your
suitcase so you can bring stuff home with you. And when I think about that I
think it's the perfect analogy for any time you go abroad, and maybe even just
a good analogy for new experiences in life in general.
Because when I went abroad I brought things I knew I'd throw
away: shampoo, beauty products, etc. I went in knowing I could probably ditch
those for cooler things when I came back. But there were also things I brought
I hadn't necessarily intended on getting rid of. One prime example was my
boots. I bought them at Target for $30 maybe two years ago now. They fell apart
about halfway through the semester. I held onto them as long as I could,
reluctant to spend money on new ones. But eventually I couldn't avoid it. I
threw them away and came back with some snazzy new ones that got me through the
rest of my trip.
So I think in a lot of ways, that transitions well into my
last few lists I made those last few days abroad that I do want to share.
There's really no way to summarize these 5 months. Even if
you clicked on every link on this blog and read every article it wouldn't do it
justice. I did write a list of all of the memories that came into my head which
ended up being about 5 pages and which I won't be typing here. But I got to do
some incredible things. Traveling to France, Monaco, Spain, Germany, Austria,
The Czech Republic, and Ireland. 17 flights. There were so many new foods and
new experiences that I got to pack into my suitcase. Things that I may honestly
never be able to fully share with anyone, but that I will always get to have. Running
to a magic fountain in Barcelona. Eating kebabs. Pub Crawls. Castles. The beach
in Cannes. Carnival in Nice. The Suquet. Unforgettable 3 hour long dinners.
Trains. Cathedrals. Amazing people. Lock bridges. The French language, la plus
belle langue du monde <3. Metros. Stromae. More freedom than I might ever
have again in my life as well as some of the purest and happiest moments I've
had in my 20 years here on earth.
So, this may or may not be one of my last posts. Because it
may be the only and best way to make an attempt to summarize. These are short
little lists, but they're the big things.
List #1: Things I'm Taking with Me (or already brought since
I'm home)
New sense of confidence
L'esprit critique
Not just accepting everything
4 hour meals (or at least 2)
Taste for new foods
Greater appreciation for the little things
Redefined faith
Stronger convictions
Increased curiosity and eagerness for adventure
The French language/culture: philosophy, logic,
family, pride, hedonism
Irish heritage?: welcoming ,positivity, kindness
A newer slightly less naïve me
Joy, thankfulness/gratitude, humbleness,
understanding, peace
Nutella and europants
May not be perfect, but a good reminder. And the next one is
even shorter but I think even more significant.
List #2: Things I'm Leaving Behind
Rushing through life
Judgment of others (going to try at least)
A younger more naïve me
Not accepting myself or my beliefs
Little pieces of my heart; chapters of my life

subset: commoncrawl

McAlpine Sues Sally First
Think they call that "making an example of someone". You bet Sally is regretting be so flippant in her apology earlier in the week…
Sky Sources: Sally Bercow will be first recipient of a legal letter from Lord McAlpine
— Sky News Newsdesk (@SkyNewsBreak) November 15, 2012
Think they call that "making an example of someone". You bet Sally is regretting be so flippant in her apology earlier in the week…
McAlpine thinks he can sue the whole internet. McAlpine can fuck off.
Love and kisses
Lord Jimmy McAlpine
Good. Someone has to shut these idiots up. Bercow is a destructive, attention seeking, money grubbing Hunt.
Does this mean her husband the revolting little hobbit will find his position hanging in the balance
the slag should be sued for being a blight on public life
Sub Ed:
You bet Sally is regretting being so flippant
Would like to see Radio 5 Live's Nicky Campbell receive a letter for telling his listener to google 'thatcher and paedophile'.
You'd need a heart of stone not to laugh. But seriously, if she has to make an agreed apology, pay costs,damages etc to the former treasurer of a major political party then surely Bercow's position as Speaker is untenable.
With luck, _he_ will be hanging. Er, in the balance, that is.
No, just those who have Libelled him…
The punishment will be to require Cicciolina to walk slowly down Whitehall naked
Shouting I am so sorry
Please don't fire the Squeaker
Was she sucking on a willy when she wrote that?
This is so wonderful!
My day is complete!
Oh what joy!
The Speaker's idiot, self publicising, Labourite wife in the dock!
Yabba, yabba, yabba dooo!
SB is an easy target. I thought she hadn't even mentioned Lord Mc's name?
Let's see if he takes on Ickey?
He can do it every year for his Christmas money until he dies.
BTW – having a shite day, but the news about Sally has really, really cheered me up!
The thing that really got to me about Sally's posting was that it had no humanity for the alleged child victims – she was just interested in using those alleged victims of abuse as an attack on Tories – to suck up to Ed so she can get a safe Labour seat.
Her gleeful rejoicing was plain to see. And painful for most women who would have a maternal instinct first.
As a mother she should have thought about the children in this first – but she did not.
Is this the future calibre of MP Labour really wants?
Yes although John's testicles are the size of raisins so she doesn't have to swallow much.
She still doesn't geddit!
An apology might have got her off the hook!
Instead, she has fetched a JCB to make the hole a lot deeper!
I have been informed that I wear glasses. As you know, I haven't got time to attend to everything, and it was unreasonable of my wife to expect me to know that I wear glasses. She has agreed to pay me £450,000 compensation and I have graciously considered the matter closed.
Rightly so;good luck to him & more strength to his elbow.
BREAKING – Speaker's Slut wife agrees to star in my new teenage animal porn movie to pay off her libel case damages. Donkey and Alsatian refuse to participate.
My husband blinky would make a great speaker, rubbish shag but thats not the end of the world
Sky Sources: Sally Bercow will be first recipient of a legal letter from Lord McAlpine
The Lord says "I forgive you. Go and spin no more."
Can't be doing with being drag down with all these partisan smear tactics and bitching. Poor guy. What can possibly be worse than being accussed of being a kiddelly fiddler? Voting Labour?
I hope McAlpine understands that Messham was an unfortunate pawn dragged into the nest of vipers that is The BBC, Tom Watson and hoons like Bercow.
"You'd need a heart of stone not to laugh"
I'm going to need incontinent pads fitted to my armchair for her public apology and subsequent settlement.
Any other notable individuals getting something from the Postman tomorrow morning?
When you say Shag are you referring to the tobacco or the bird?
If she is sued, then John Bercow must surely resign as Speaker and MP. How could he possibly continue?
Squeaker and his wife have disgraced the House of Commons
Squeaker should be fired and banned from the Parliamentary Estate
Sally Bercow should be ordered to pay huge damages
That might restore a little decency to Westminster
He can't need the money so instead perhaps he could request she could be sentenced to do some sort of National service such as going out to Afganistan and giving free BJs to all the troops
I agree you are right all the way, the BBC and Fatty Watson used Messham. Hope they are proud of themselves
Hamas rockets from Gaza w/in range of 15% of the Israeli pop, if a terrorist group had this same capability in the UK: http://ow.ly/i/18cT3
I think it's safe to say she will already have had legal advice. It's us poor fuckers who can't afford it that are in the shit, even for just using the hashtag that twitter suggested!
Tobacco, I need a fag after going down on him
Sorry – Sqaddies have standards, she wouldn't meet them.
A list of those who named the Peer on Twitter has been compiled. They can come forward and agree to pay a settlement or be sued.
The death of Little Nell springs to mind.
Verily, verily so.
Maybe all Sally will have left to clothe herself in is that stained sheet that she draped over herself.
I'm gonna be sat on Ebay waiting for all the Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, and Kurt Geiger shoes to be listed.
She will have to pay somehow.
I will defend the much maligned Sally, at the publics expense, keeeeerching
What living in the loft Monday through Friday, and only coming downstairs at the weekends?
All the more reason to call him that, then!
Former DJ Dave Lee Travis has been arrested by police investigating the Jimmy Savile child abuse scandal, Sky sources say. The one time Radio 1 star and former presenter of Top Of The Pops, is reportedly being questioned on suspicion of sexual offences.
He was arrested by detectives from the Metropolitan Police's Operation Yewtree at his home in Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, at 7.45am, according to sources.
A list of those who named the Peer on Twitter has been compiled. They can come forward and agree to pay a settlement or be sued
sallly, dont worry … I can advise you on the best way to get the taxpayer to cough up for everything. No chance of getting caught either.
Why doesn't Sally mention Scallywag magazine as a defence, after all they named him years ago.
hairy cornflake is now starting to sound like a very naughty euphemism!
Except in a subsequent tweet you referred to what you had done as "mischief", which contradicts what you are now saying. Couple that with your stupid *innocent face* entry in the original tweet and I'd say you're going to lose….big time! If you are acting on legal advice, which I doubt, you really need to get better lawyers. The first thing they should have done is tell you to keep your ignorant mouth shut and not compound the trouble you are in. Sleep well.
What have our poor troops done to deserve a Bercow blow job?
It's bad enough that they are in that tribal shithole in the first place, inflicting her would be an inhuman step too far.
Imagine if we had a terrorist adviser in our midst. Maybe called Qatada. That would be a disaster.
Why not use the increasing tension in the middle east as an excuse to send Qatada to Jordon. Everyone saves face then.
I feel a nobel peace prize coming my way.
'Why is Lord McAlpine trending?*innocent face*
Is it sarcasm with the appended *innocent face*?
Watch his expenses claim like a hawk in case he tries creative reimbursements to recoup what she has to pay in damages.
Bercow will manage to claim legal fees and damages as expenses, with full support from Labour
I think you missed out 'whore' (hope that's not libelous).
Trust Mr.Berkow will put the damages on his expenses…
Any canoes involved, or I am confusing stories?
Who would possibly side with Sally Bercow. The mind boggles.
No wonder her husband has been fixing the expenses watchdog…
Worried you might need some extra cash soon, Mr Speaker??
Lets be sure that Sally Bercow will be required to pay her own legal bills and any and all damages that hopefully will be awarded against her.
It is also to be hoped tht she drags that repulsive little "man" down with her.
Dont suppose the legal advice will be claimed on her husbands expenses by any chance?
hahha, well put
Couldn't happen to a more deserving person!
Bet she's bricking it now :)
Yes. Moonbat really deserves it, even more than Silly Sally.
Sally, you had better tweet your thanks to Tom Watson. Don't forget now!
Israeli Army confirms that rocket from Gaza has hit Tel Aviv suburb. Significant development.
I wonder if the Solicitors need any help identifying twitter libelers. ;/
Hang in sally.Lawyers get paid same for giving good and bad advice. McAlpine wants to pay let him. He is wasting his money not that his lawyer will care!
"Is this the future calibre of MP Labour really wants?"
It's the calibre of Labour MP's they already have. One T. Watson springs to mind immediately, but there are many, many others, even worse.
Is this the future calibre…………Ask Tom Watson!
Law is obviously not your strong point.
Your "opinion" as to the libellous nature or not of your communications cannot be considered in any way authoritative in respect of English Law and Lord McAlpines rights.
I believe, in my professional opinion in these matters, that you are in some very serious difficulty and would strongly advise that you minimise your financial losses in this sordid affair by not fighting it and throw yourself on the mercy of the Court and the man you so badly slandered.
Hopefully the silly bercow will now wind her neck in and adopt a lower profile. Not good for hubby though.
Is there an offence of Bringing the House of Commons into disrepute by Matrimony?
Is there a website where I can donate pizzas to McAlpine's legal team? I guess they're gonna be working round the clock for some time to come.
He'll do no such thing. he'll carry on regardless, and so will she.
Heartfelt agreement – two of the most unpleasant self-publicists , to be thrown up by this witless age.
So meant 'divorce' her.
That's better *innocentface*
hahaha her husband tells her to quieten the twitter down a bit so she goes and libels a senior Tory as a p'eedo. Pure genius.
You forget NI went through this same nightmare for decades. At least the IDF takes on their enemy.
I'd be keeping an eye on David Potter – he who bankrolled the BIJ and Labour.
Just sayin', like…
That's very re-assuring: high level legal advice from someone who can't even master English grammar.
Foolish to think you can say whatever you want and for it not to have any consequences.
Having watched this stupid woman on TV I am delighted to to find that sge will finally realise she's not the smarty-pants she obviously believes she is.
Oh to be a fly on the wall in the Bercow's grace and favour appartment.
Well, you'll be hard put to it to say anything silly with your mouth full.
Silly Sally. Opens gob before engaging brain and now it's all gone tits up. But the real winner here is that the midget might lose his job as a result of her stupidity.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall in their house tonight (tee, hee).
Lay down, Sally, go get some Legal Aid.
Don't you think you need someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, go tell it to the judge.
I've been trying all night long to sequester you.
For the avoidance of doubt we will state that the following will apply in the libel action.

We expect that the Courts will be filled to capacity for the next 35 years.
David Icke – Scroll down to November 7.
The debate would have to be about who was the more stupid of the two. Sally for opening her trap, or Bercow for marrying her in the first place.
My vote would go with the latter.
At least Moonbat bloody apologised. he seems to accept that he's done wrong. This stupid bitch is STILL blathering on
She'll try the Moran / moron defence … Twchizophrenia!
Monbiot has written two letters of apology to Lord McAlpine through McAlpine's solicitors. Listening to the WATO interview earlier, I had the impression that settlement would still be sought, but the apology would be taken into account. Something that La Bercow might like to consider.
It's the present calibre of Labour MPs. There were a few naive souls hereabouts who were congratulating Tom Watson on lifting the lid on these p*a*e*d*o allegations. No amount of warnings that Tom Watson's soul purpose was to try and get some shit to stick to the Torys hence his grandstanding letter to Cameron.
People had learned nothing of his sudden outrage at NI phone hacking that occurred the very afternoon Murdoch switched support to the Torys but went unremarked and barely investigated by the same Met that found Tony Blair innocent of cash-for-peerages and arrested an opposition MP in the HoP on utterly bogus national security grounds.
Where is Tom now? Advising against witch-hunts? Concerned about media wrong-doing? Nope. Doesn't give a shit. Not his problem.
Apparently there is a God and I am his trousers.
He's gone to radio silence.
Monbiot had the right idea. Abject, unreserved apology.
If only he would do the same with his 'climate-change' scam.
I hope that Lord M. donates any money he receives thru. legal action to the ….Thatcher Foundation ( if its still running); that will larn the BBC et al.
Jesus fucking christ woman. GET OFF TWITTER.
Well, it beats taking her clothes off. That was the epitome of tack.
Similarly, I hope the words 'vulgar' and 'slut' are not either…..
Everyone knew what Bercow was implying.
To suggest it was accidental is laughable and insulting.
Just imagine if a Tory gobshite had accused a Labour Grandee of being a pa3do, utterly without basis.
Imagine the soaring heights of righteous indignation from the bedwetters, and the spittle flecked baying for justice there would be on Twitter.
I'm getting some popcorn in. How much longer is Twatson going to be allowed to abuse Parliamentary priviledge?
'course it was defamatory. It is known in the trade as "innuendo" in order to stop precisely the sort of nudge-nudge-wink-wink behaviour that Ms B'cow indulged in. SB knew exactly what she is doing. If she didn't then she is certifiably stupid. And in the courts of law stupidity was no defence to a defamation action the last time I checked.
Another thing. The longer Ms B'cow pretends that she did no wrong, the worse it will get for her. Stand by for the sound of reverse gear being engaged.
If she's any sense she'll offer 10K into court or to some suitable charity, make an abject apology and hope that MacAlpine calls off the dogs.
If she has any sense.
Nope. She's fucked.
For a long time I've had an idea for a different type of talk show.
Good suggestion though.
Could she be sent out in one without a paddle?
He doesn't need to sue the whole internet, just the bits that defamed him. He can use the damages collected from the early payers to go after the ones that try to hide.
Monbiot has written to McAlpine's solicitors with his apology. The wise (if there are any) among the defamers will rapidly do likewise, and settle. If not, they'll get round to you eventually….
A perfect example of what we, the British people, are up against.
Mrs John Moriarty Beercow, will have her day in court and she can defend herself against my sword of truth and cast her insults against my shield of British justice.
Then, we will march together against the Police and Mr Mes-ham where all these allegations took root to get to the truth of it all.
That Gaza has gone too far with the practical jokes this time.
She was probably drunk with her own importance B.D.
Let's see how arrogant the stupid cow is now.
I just hope Squeaker Berkoff loses his job too, although the little squit will never resign. He'll have to be dragged kicking and screaming out of his grace & favour palace.
They truly are a vile couple.
Speaker Bercow was in the chair the other day when the matter of libel by Twitter was discussed in Parliament.
Surely this is a conflict of interest?
quick, send them a veggie volcano and a kickers combo.
Her hubby will probably want to work it into his expenses claim for 2012.
No wonder he wants to get IPSA under the cosh.
John Bercow and his bullies bring shame on our Parliament
Good to see that the publicity whore is getting more than she bargained for!
What a silly useless cow Sally is? She twits nothing but utter tripe. What a silly stunt she is.
You guys are dong a great job of reducing McAlpine's winnings. Some of you are calling La Bercow a whore etc… It's all defamatory and it's how the internet works. /sadly. La Bercow will pit herself against McAlpine as tribune of the people not saying he was a paedo he's not nor ever was, but his response has been draconian. He's had his apologies and resignations, he should now let it lie. BTW, Bercow may win and where does that leave McAlpine?
Right from the very beginning. I knew she was bad 'un. What a thick cow.
It just proves that there is definitely no cure for Mad Cow Disease!
Is Sally Bercow the most stupid woman in Great Britain?
She is still "tweeting" and seems to be treating this as some sort of schoolyard misunderstanding – I hope she is sued into bankruptcy – behaps then this vacuous "wife of" might start to act ther age.
Sally's g-string will surely have some skid marks.
Dopey fucking cow thinks she is smart, celeb that she tries to be.
Looks like she's going to get her reverse gear engaged any day now!
I should imagine her only income will be declared as Child Benefit. No point asking me to pay for anything. I have no capital so need legal aid sort of thing.
Well, at least this incident can be thrown back in his smug, self-conglaturatory face when he next decides to preach to us lesser mortals from his (ethically sourced) ivory tower.
The Jane Eyre solution, you mean? She has all of the required attributes, the shrieking harpie.
If a murderer says sorry for his crime, is all then forgiven and forgotten? Is there no penalty or puinishment? George Monbiot has apologised for his terrible words against an innocent man but he must still receive some punishment. It is so easy to say sorry but actions speak louder than words and he should not only make recompense to Lord McAlpine but lose his job for gross misconduct.
She could use the Margaret Moran defense? She looks crazy.
I would like to see that smug bar steward Schofield next on the list. His apology as far as I can read anywhere is for exposing his list and not for the ambush or the politically motivated diatribe.
ITV say they have taken action but what? He's still working?
I think you mean sole, not soul, but in Twatson's case either is apposite, assuming he still has a soul.
Well if Lord McAlpine does sue the stupid bitch, perhaps this will shut the silly cow up once and for all, although I somehow doubt it. No doubt an accomodation of some kind will be reached behind closed doors when what should happen, in my view, is that the plaintiff takes the ghastly creature for every penny she possesses. Mind you, if he does, no doubt her equally odious midget of a husband will charge the whole cost to his expenses as Speaker.
@sallycow, you will be using your pin quite a lot in the not too distant future after Lord McAlpine has finished with you!
Shes got previous………..
Fab piece in Private Eye this week where they spent 3 minutes on the internet looking up rumours about Philip Schofield…
It wouldn't be the first time she had been threatened with libel action:
You are Sally Bercow's incompetent lawyer and I claim my £5! it is deliberately drawing people's attention to the libellous statements and giving them widespread publicity. (She has almost 60000 followers plus people who don't follow her but will have read her tweet, plus people who will have retweeted her tweet, plus people who read her tweet and then verbally told their friends what she said, etc etc.) Thus intentionally magnifying and exacerbating the damage that the original libel would inflict. She admits in her "apology" that she was being "mischievous" in doing so. Mens rea established right there. I believe she is, in legal parlance, 'fucked'!
Surely if she gave free BJs to the Taliban it might convince them that boys are not as good at the process and thus they may begin to see the advantages of allowing women a greater role in their society.
Then again after meeting Sally, maybe not.
Such a pleasure the Bercow bitch gets the first writ but still seems to think its a joke. Her and that puffed up little tosspot Mr Bercow won't be smiling for too long I think. Lets hope that other sanctimonious scumbag Monbiot is next.
The libel law re claims against Tweeters
"Libel claims by X against those who identify him/her on Twitter or other social network as being involved in say something such as say a child abuse scandal are straightforward. If these tweets even if they used different words directly identified X as the unidentified person mentioned by a newspaper or broadcaster– or simply as the so and so involved etc. Even if they simply stated " Broadcvaster Y says X was involved in child abuse" this would provide no defence as it would fall foul of the so-called "repetition rule": that "It is no defence to an action for defamation for the defendant to prove that he was merely repeating what he has been told" (see Stern v Piper [1997] QB 123).
The tweeters who identified X in the case under consideration include a number of well known figures – several who have apologised. Although this will mitigate their damages it does not provide them with a defence. Those who tweeted X's name would have no potential Reynolds defence unless they had personally taken steps to verify the allegation. This seems highly unlikely to say the least. As a result, X is likely to have tens if not hundreds or thousands of potential claims for libel."
Maybe the aggrieved will take a view in the round, he could kill one dwarf and a bird, (more tough old boiler) for their acts and omissions. Being a Thatcherite I'm sure he will be generous and just ask for their heads on pikestaff's on Westminster Bridge as warning to silly lefty beeboids, that they maybe next as individuals rather than the organisation.
oh hahahahahahahahaha .. sorry, but hahahahahahahaha.. hope it costs her a packet.
David Icke had better leave the country. Big damage coming the noble Lord's way from the Grand Lizard. Silly arse and its still there
Last week you said it what you did was "mischievous" not libellous. Backtracking on that to the less culpable "foolish" as a defence now are we? Too late! Mens rea already established. A judge and jury are going to see right through you if you are stupid enough to fight this. You are royally fucked!
If the Bercows are bankrupted – then John cannot be an MP and will have to resign. By By speaker!
Is there no way, no way at all, that "Mr speaker" (who dresses like a used car salesman) can be embroiled in this ? PLEASE……..
I bet she is "Sheeting" herself and throwing a real "paddy"
I know many think that being a Socialist is a mental illness, but I genuinely believe Slapper Sally is a brick short of a full load. I've noticed her "thousand yard stare" whenever I have the misfortune to see her on TV. That stare and the way she constantly twitches and fidgets are symptoms shown by many inmates of NHS psychiatric wards.
There's definitely something not right about her.
Postman Pat, Postman Pat, Postman Pat with his funny old writ…
If she did it must be because he is a better speaker.
Oh I do hope that the poison dwarf AND his wife are both going *gulp* right now…
I wonder if Sally has the money to pay for a long and costly court case???
But if the silly little ***** is going to start playing party politics via Twitterover such a serious matter as this then she deserves all that she gets….
Wonder how long it'll take for MacAlpine's brief to bring up Bercow's failed political efforts and her political affiliations as well as her husband's role as Speaker of the House of Commons???? Somehow I don't think that she's going to be very political for quite a long time to come….
Also can see this having a pretty negative effect on the poison dwarf's career- just why didn't he prevent his wife making such a stupid comment- or does he agree with it?
This is going to be VERY funny to watch!!!!
Bunting hanging in every high street. Rejoice! Rejoice! Rejoice!
Ragheads have standards too !!!
She would have to be a vestal virgin which quite patently she is not
In your haste to defend the indefensible you overlook one thing. She did name the noble lord.
Or as the poet said to the songwriter
One swallow does not save a bummer
Imagine: A great big front page of the Guardian saying sorry over and over again, Paradise on Earth.
When you say
Throw yourself on the mercy of the court
Are you suggesting she go the whole hog. And
"Prostrate ". Herself before their "Lordships ??
Yeah try that old weepy mum saying goodbye to her son when he starts university act again.
Sally Bercow has 2 new followers : Lord Macalpine , Lord Macalpines lawyers
Royally fucked
Somehow i do not think so old boy
Even with their reputations i do not think even the more libertine of our royals would have anything to do with the situation
Jeffrey. Dear. Boy.
I. Thought you had been unwell. For the last ten years.
Nice to see you up and about
With its typical finesse and good timing BBC4 presents:
"19:30 Top of the Pops. Dave Lee Travis presents…"
Worth catching — it might be the very last time. Tune in now.
He is a(re)soul – just look at the shit emanating from his orifice.
"Still maintain was not a libellous tweet – just foolish"
A fool & their money are soon parted.
She should be sued for millions.Recent 'victims' of phonehacking were compensated by hundreds of thousands of pounds. I think, that in one or two cases,compensation was over a million pounds.Not one person had been accused of a heinous crime. They got amazing compensation just because phones were hacked and conversations listened to.
as per usual, she'll have to just swallow hard…then pay up.
According to Ken Dodd, "innuendo" is an Italian supository. Geddit?

BBC reaches settlement with Lord McAlpine

Crisis at the BBC
Should executives get 'rewards for failure'?
Bookies tip Richards for next DG
Summary of Ken MacQuarrie report
Crisis at the BBC: Media reaction
The BBC has settled with Lord McAlpine over a Newsnight broadcast which led to him being wrongly implicated in child abuse allegations.
The damages total £185,000 plus costs.
"The settlement is comprehensive and reflects the gravity of the allegations that were wrongly made," the corporation said in a statement.
The Tory peer had said it was "terrifying" to find himself "a figure of public hatred".
Is Sally Bercow's phone off the hook?
It should be noted that Lord McAlpine was minded that any monies would be paid via TV licence payers and that would be reflected in any settlement.
Had this not been been the case the sum would have been higher.
£185 k is a lot less than Entwistle's overpayment.
If the amount of damages is correct, it simply is not enough.Bearing in mind that Lord McAlpine said that he was mindful of the taxpayer footing the bill for the BBC, perhaps he will be less lenient with Bercow, Monbiot and co.
BBC governor does six weeks work and gets half a million. A decent man has his reputation damaged beyound repair and gets about a third of that. Do not look for justice because it does not exist.
Most of her tweets and phone calls will be from Lawyers-R-Us.
Theyrr eez steell plenty of room at our place.
An we already have somwuun who likea to speaka lot and not to leesten. You weel be company for heem.
The Noble Lord an admirer of Thatcherism, hopefully he'll screw the pair of them as far as he can hehehehe.
Paid by my f**cking license fee, b*stards should bemade to pay out of there own pockets. After they have been sacked.
He still owes me £10 from that time he bet me Steve Davis would pot the black against Dennis Taylor. Soon afterwards he started wearing turquoise and suggested Ray Reardon had "something of the night about him." He may be right about those reptiles though, they've killed snooker on the BBC.
Judging by JCB's stunted growth I think that he'd have a job making long tall sally's hole any deeper!
Isnt there some way Tom Watson can be "done " for his part in all of this ? i know he was hiding under parliamentary priviledge but we all know his intention was really to get names out in to the public domain. It doesnt seem fair if he gets away scott free.
I first saw the name Mcalpine on this (Guido's) blog which is moderated and probably not considered permanent. Does libel law on moderated blogs apply the same way as Twitter , or is it considered more akin to slander?
I think Lord McAlpine is a toppermost chap and people should not be beastly to him and those that are deserve what they get.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.
Oh wait, yes I do!
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
goto 10
Like all socialists, Sally believes she knows best and therefore the law doesn't apply to her.
She'll pretend she is too depressed to stand trial like that Moran woman, or cite Parliamentary Privilege like MacShane.
Just look at the glee with which the BBC ran this story and ask yourself what they would have done if it had been a former Labour Minister.
No idea. I'm not in the frame. This is outstanding. Bedwetters all over the UK shitting their pants.
So let's get this right…
If you listen in to a few peoples voicemails with no harm done, you lose your business, and every one else who worked for the company loses their job, innocent or not.
But if you make unfounded allegations with no evidence and ruin someones life for ever, you get a slap on the wrist and the public pay a £185,000 fine for you.
Oh, and Schofiled NEEDS the sack as well !
Why hasn't he made a televised apology ?
Because he's knee deep in Holly for Christmas.
Exactly. £1m for having a phone hacked? Being accused of what McAlp was is much more severe…….he cd pay off the national debt when all the tweeters, retweets, re,re tweets are multiplied….! You go Sall! Been quiet for half an hour-everything alright?
Sally, plead that you are just a silly little biased lefty woman who has shitferbranes and you didn't realise the full impact of what you were doing.
No one could argue against that, you silly bitch.
One swallow doth not a summer make…..oops sorry, thought this was the Aristotle blog!
He can sue you amongst the first, twat.
Hope he gets an injunction banning her from Twitter. Result!!
Well Lord McA. has just got another £185,000 for legal ammunition! The Twitter hit list just got longer.
People, remember the old saying, revenge is a dish best served cold. The Right Hon. Mr T.Watson has sown the seed of his own destruction many times over – be patient mes amis.
Yep. If it were nearly every crook in the country would get off
You mean her Thousand Cock stare!
Sally may not be a conservative MP but she is married to one and after Louise Mensh and Nadine Dorries, David Cameron should ban women MPs or the wives of the men from any public statements until further notice. What a shower!
Funny? Possibly. But if the action against the silly, self serving, publicity seeking bitch ensues and is then won, then I have no doubt that the poisoned dwarf Bercow will claim all of the fine and costs on his parliamentary expenses – no doubt justifying such a course on the grounds that his stupid bitch of a wife was singled out for the "McAlpine Treatment" simply because of to whom she is married. WE will end up paying for all of this once again.
As for Sally Bercow being worried about the action, that is utter twaddle. A libel action would scare most people, but then again the so-called political elite are not plebs like the rest of us and have ways and means of paying up which are not to their detriment or ruin as would be the case for most of us.
She said it (that the post was "mischievous not libellous") again yesterday. She really does not get it at all. First question in cross-examination: "Just why was it mischievous, Ms B'cow?" She is toast.
She tweeted on 12 November that she did not need a lawyer. That's some crystall ball …
ps: "An innuendo meaning is one which would be understood only by publishees who know facts which are neither stated in the words complained of, nor part of general knowledge." But that's good enough.
The use of the "innocent face" emoticon and the subsequent (and repeated) tweets that she was being "mischievous" should provide a more than ample basis for asserting malice. If that were established, then the damages could only go up.
Perhaps she may recoup her losses by suing Geedo for much of what is posted here.
Did Steven Messham tell the police that one of his abusers was Alistair McAlpine or did the police tell Steven Messham that one of his abusers was Alistair McAlpine?
If the former, what investigation did the police carry out and what did it reveal, if the latter why did the police seek to implicate an innocent and blameless individual?
I'm sure that everyone hopes that in his quest for the truth Alistair McAlpine finds answers to these questions.
Witheringly she did not bother to apologise to McAlpine as Monbiot did (twice). She was warned on the radio yesterday that she was on the shit list if she did not come forward. Arrogant cow believes her privileged postion under the speaker will protect her.
£185,000 paid by BBC was low but so because it is public money. Sally could be in for a real drubbing – perhaps she will have to go on Strictly to pay for it as she has already done the jungle bit? You heard it here first.
We ALL support our Sally up the Alley.
Only twits tweet.
And only twats follow them.
Fun to watch them kill and maim themselves though.
Schadenfreude anyone.
Bercow the speaker conservative? – only in your dreams or nightmares.
Man is the usual 5th column fellow traveller voted in by Liebor.
I am trying to get resoled as my skid marks are caused by heavy tread wear.
I will be back to slander all Tory MP's because I hate them.
I only now realise that I am human and make errors.
Unlike the Pope I am not infallible.
However climate change is my only crutch in life as I am devoid of all other ideas and reasoning.
Phweeew that was close though.
In your dreams. You obviously do need a doctor.
I am here until I say so – and I have friends in high places.
Can I pay in BJ's?
After all he is rather old and would appreciate the attention.
You sir, are presumptious in believing she has a brain.
What was the outcome on this case brought by Migrationwatch?
That Bercow should attack an institution that was proved right says it all really.
Blogs will certainly be in the same league as twitters.
After all it is still public dissemination of information.
Sally going to the embassy will soon clear out the previous tenant.
Two days is all I give him and the Embassy staff.
My reading of what was said was that the police told Messham that it was "Lord MacAlpine".
To me this is so unusual that it calls into question Messham's whole message.
You know, this woman is SO incredibly stupid, and SO revoltingly addicted to publicity, she might even fight the case so she could be in the press every day.
She would probably even appeal after the crushing judgment against her and a huge damages award.
Now that's really expensive publicity, she would find it very attractive !
Now that Lord McAlpine has got money from the Beeb, will he be suing those who named him online as a sex offender many years ago?
The irony is there are more paedos in the labour party.
Look it up on the net for the facts (accurate for once).
There are over 25 CONVICTED paedos belonging to Labour.
Surely Twatson must have known that before he engaged mouth ?
Could not happen to a nicer person. Hope somebody keeps an eye on the expenses
Well it's such a pity that Alistair McAlpine didn't take action in 1991 when he was first publicly named as being connected with the abuse.
It would have been so much easier to have got to the truth then than it will be now.
It's curious that Messham would have named someone like McAlpine. He was never exactly a well known public figure or celebrity. Why would Messham name him unless someone suggested the name to him? Who would have done that and why?
Oh dear and here's me thinking she was such a lovely person (?)
Bad grammar and bad argument aren't absolutely the same thing though.
McAlpine's issue is that it's necessary actually to make a claim about someone to libel them. So he has his work cut out in trying to pin this on Sally.
His argument is a bit on the thin side.
Perhaps Sally can extract contributions to (more than) cover her costs from the posters and the host of this website for defaming *her*?
Me thinks Lord McAlpine protests too much?
Quote: 'Spread false defeat to gain public sympathy; or false accusation and then arrange for it to be exposed as such – so the accuser will forever be treated with suspicion.'

They will be very badly adjusted in their relations with women, and that is a symptom of their feeling of being failures and that the world is against them. They are not making it with girls, and so they turn to other forms of spiritual comfort — which of course is no comfort."

WASHINGTON-Online home retailer Wayfair finished number two on Stores magazine's 2014 list of the nation's fastest-growing retailers.
The company's sales for 2013, which totaled $915 million, were 52.5 percent ahead of its sales for 2012, according to the list compiled by the magazine, which is a publication of the National Retail Federation. Finishing fourth on the list is Conn's, whose 2013 sales rose 39.2 percent to $904 million. Amazon's 2013 sales, which increased 27.2 percent to $44 billion, placed it 10th on the list.
Number one on the list is the grocery retailer Albertsons, with $19.5 billion in 2013 sales or 432.7 percent above sales for 2012.
According to an NRF statement on the list, "A revitalized housing market has helped the home furnishings sector in recent years as consumers are once again investing in their homes."
The list was prepared for the magazine by consulting firm Kantar Retail.

A&M-Commerce to Stage Student Plays for Canned Goods
A Texas A&M University-Commerce Theatre class will host a student organized production of 5 plays in the upcoming weeks. "5 Shades of Red" are five 10 minute plays written by the theatre class as a part of a charity event to receive donations for the Commerce Food Pantry.
The class professor and senior lecturer, Jim Anderson, is very persistent on getting the campus and community involved. The students have put a lot of work into rehearsing, directing the plays, and promoting it outside of the class. The students have created a Facebook group, "5 Shades of Red, TAMU-Commerce" to encourage others to join in on the fundraising. "It's an example of the Arts doing well in the community," says Anderson.
The students have cast the plays amongst themselves and have set up a stage crew own their own. "5 Shades of Red" plays are all based on the winter holidays with a recurring theme of red, ranging from comedy to drama. Anderson says, "The students have worked hard by dealing with everything from the costume design, set designs, and directing."
Admission to the play is free with one exception; bring a canned food good to donate to the Food Pantry. The play will be held in the Black Box of the Performing Arts Center on December 10th at 5pm. For more information please call, 903-886-5338.

Spacious 2 bdrm.
The rental was exactly as described. Centrally located in Manchester. About 20 minutes away from Stratton mountain. Within walking distance from the Equinox and the outlets are a short drive down the street. Property was well-maintained, clean and recently updated. I would definitely go back!
Perfect Followup
I was writing a review here before. The review was titled - nice idea poor execution -. Well after that review posted the owner did an impressive followup with me and I have to say that they went to quite a bit of trouble to straighten things out. I still believe that the idea of the retro-fit barn is excellent and after our complains about the execution, the owner drove up there to check it out and fix the complains we had. I would not hesitate to go back to this place, specially now that everything was brought back to their normal standards. 5 stars for customer follow up and satisfaction, we will be back next year
Amazing Weekend Stay!
We spent 3 nights in your beautiful home and skied at Stratton Mt. This property is amazing! So clean and very spacious. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your property and to have such a wonderful weekend!! We can't wait to come back!!!

From today's editions:
He played catch with a teammate. Caught punts from another. Later, he returned to the field with the kick returners for pregame warm-ups.
He remembers those moments, "but after that …"
That's what else Kenjon Barner recalls from that Saturday afternoon last month. And for about two days after. And the week after that, he says, is kind of "foggy."
He has no memory of the collision we cannot forget. Barner collected a Washington State kickoff one step deep in the end zone. Cut inside at the 10. Turned back upfield at the 15 —
Almost a month later, Barner is practicing again. He has been cleared for full contact, and though no one will say for sure, he'll probably play for Oregon on Saturday against Washington.
The sophomore running back admits he's nervous about returning to action, and do you blame him?
Barner first saw the hit a couple of days later when LaMichael James visited him in the hospital. The running backs are also close friends, and when James discovered Barner didn't remember anything, he pulled out his iPhone and pulled up YouTube. Here's Barner's reaction, then and now:
Yeah, wow.
Washington State's Anthony Carpenter slammed into Barner, who crumpled to the turf and lay motionless.
Next we had medical personnel hovering over the unconscious player. Family members and teammates crying, shaken and scared. Barner taken off the field in an ambulance.
Concussions and football are nothing new. Big hits have always been a big part of the game, and always will be. We say a guy got knocked silly, or somebody's bell got rung, and everybody high-fives.
Until he doesn't get up.
Then it's not silly at all. We're concerned for five minutes, or maybe a few weeks. And we go back to loving the big hits.
I'm not saying we shouldn't. This isn't some call for dramatic action. We've learned much more in recent years about the damaging effects of concussions, short-term and long-, but I'm not sure what would have prevented Barner's head injury.
Also, when Barner says he's nervous, but he's eager to play again, I don't blame him. All I'm saying is we like our violence neatly packaged, and what happened is a jarring reminder of the danger. Click here for the complete column.

Suzann Pettersen of Norway held off teenager Lydia Ko of New Zealand by two shots to win the Evian Championship on Sunday, clinching the second major title of her career.
The tournament in France - which counts as the fifth and final major on the women's calendar for the first time this year - was reduced to a 54-hole event after torrential rain wiped out the first day.
Pettersen had started the final round one stroke behind overnight leader, Mika Miyazato of Japan, but a three-under-par 68 proved good enough in blustery conditions as she finished clear of the field on 10-under.
Ko, who was level with Pettersen after 36 holes, had to settle for 70 which meant she missed out the chance to become the youngest-ever major champion.
Lexi Thompson of America matched the 68 of Pettersen to claim third place on her own at six-under, while South Koreans Ryu So-Yeon and Se-Ri Pak shared fourth a stroke further back.
Having started at the top of the leaderboard, Mizayato endured a nightmare day with five bogeys, a double and a triple in an eight-over-par round of 79 that saw her plummet down into a tie for 19th.
But it was all smiles for Pettersen, 32, who tasted major success for the second time after a six-year wait having won the LPGA Championship in 2007.

Goldman Sachs predicts low oil prices

Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Energy pipelines and terminals operator Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. ( SXL ) posted bright third-quarter 2012 profits, owing to higher average crude oil price and lower interest expense. The partnership's diluted earnings per unit ("EPU") came in at $1.09, significantly ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 85 cents and the year-ago period profit of 78 cents. Revenues of $3,218.0 million were up 12.9% from the third quarter of 2011 and were almost in line with our projection. Quarterly Distribution Importantly, the partnership raised its quarterly distribution by 10.0% sequentially and 25.0% year over year to 51.75 cents per unit or $2.07 per unit annualized. Distributable cash flow increased 37.0% year over year to $149 million. Segmental Performance Refined Products Pipeline System: Operating income in the 'Refined Products Pipeline System' segment was $11.0 million, unchanged from the third quarter of 2011. Higher income coming from asset sale was wiped out by a drop in pipeline revenues due to the shutdown of the Marcus Hook refinery in the fourth quarter of 2011. Terminal Facilities: The partnership's 'Terminal Facilities' business segment had an operating income of $39.0 million, up 18.2% year over year. This impressive outcome can be mainly attributed to improved results from Sunoco Logistics' refined products acquisition and marketing initiatives. Contributions from the last year's purchases of the Eagle Point tank farm as well as refined products terminal in East Boston from an energy major firm ConocoPhillips ( COP ) also aided the upsurge. Crude Oil Pipeline System: Operating income in the Crude Oil Pipeline System segment shot up 55.8% from the year-earlier level to $67.0 million, driven by enhanced mix of pipeline movements along with growth in organic projects and better tariff rates. Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing: Operating income for the July-September period was $48 million, 17.1% above the third quarter of 2011 level. This reflects wider crude oil margins, supported by contribution from the purchase of Texon L.P.'s crude oil purchasing and marketing business in the third quarter of 2011. Capital Expenditure & Balance Sheet The partnership's maintenance capital expenditure and expansion capital expenditure for the quarter totaled $11.0 million and $90.0 million, respectively. As of September 30, 2012, Sunoco had $1,627.0 million in total debt (consisting of $179.0 million of borrowing under the partnership's credit facility), representing a debt-to-capitalization ratio of approximately 54.1%. Rating & Recommendation Sunoco Logistics Partners currently retains a Zacks #1 Rank (short-term Strong Buy rating). We are also maintaining our long-term Outperform recommendation on the unit. With its low-risk and stable cash flow-generating energy infrastructure assets, we believe that Sunoco Logistics offers investors an opportunity to capture income growth through steadily-rising cash distributions and capital appreciation.

Guyana to ban imports using Styrofoam, other items
GEORGETOWN, Guyana (AP) — The government of Guyana says it plans to ban imports that are packaged with Styrofoam other non-biodegradable materials to reduce an environmental and solid waste disposal problem across the South American country.
The administration of President Donald Ramotar says it is preparing legislation that also would restrict the use of certain plastics and aluminum containers, as well as increase littering fines and encourage recycling.
Members of the opposition-controlled Parliament have said they would support the legislation.
The government issued a statement late Thursday saying it also seeks to design and build landfills that have received approval from the local Environmental Protection Agency.

Tips to connect your email and social programs for maximum impact. Part one in a two-part series.
Email shines as a permission-based communication channel anchored by a database that captures and uses personally identifiable information. The social channels leverage built-in tools and functionality to motivate and accelerate sharing behaviors. If you can connect the two strategies you will have a potent combo that reaches a brand-aware and brand-positive audience with highly relevant, personal messaging and then gives them the tools to share their enthusiasm along with your news and offers.
For the connection to work best, you need to work it in both directions in a truly coordinated fashion. Your email program should be planned, optimized, and tracked for the standard email metrics plus new measures that illustrate your success in motivating sharing, likes, and other engagement indicators. Similarly, your social programs should be planned and implemented with your email results in mind. And ideally, all your programs would be reviewed and reported in a common dashboard so that you can record and analyze the cross-channel impacts of all of your efforts.
This cross-channel integration is centered in data and more specifically in your email database. Your email database however is not just the repository for all that information; it's also an action arm that allows you to take advantage of the social data you have collected and the behaviors you have observed and noted.
Here are some ways to best leverage your email and social channels together:
Social communities have some unique characteristics that you want to respect and employ in building your cross-channel database and marketing plan. Curating and sharing content are the chief activities in social and you want to support these populations with the right tools while giving them a reason and a roadmap to join your email list.
Part 2 of this exploration of leveraging the email-social connection will explore some specific tips for each of the major social properties.

Happy Cup's owners opened the business because they wanted to serve customers a frozen treat that was not only tasty, but also healthy. So they created a self-serve frozen-yogurt shop whose staffers crafted frozen yogurt from scratch daily using organic milk, yogurt, and sugar, as well as all-natural flavors. The proprietors quickly realized that people craved tasty, healthy food all the time?not just as a treat?and Happy Cup now fills that need.
Mornings there start off with a cup of organic coffee and organic steel-cut-oat oatmeal, a Greek yogurt bowl, or an anti-oxidant-filled a?a? bowl. Greek yogurt bowls are available in flavors such as peanut butter + jelly, pistachio + dark chocolate, as well as cucumber + olive oil + pita chips. A?a? varieties are offered in flavors such as Amazing Almond and the SoCal, a made-from-scratch a?a? sorbet with peanut butter, bananas, and almond milk topped with banana, hemp granola, cacao nibs, and honey. Lunchtime tempts taste buds with vegetarian wraps made with organic ingredients, as well as freshly baked goods. Happy Cup also satisfies with fresh fruit smoothies, which can be filled with protein-heavy Greek yogurt.
At Home adorns humans and their domiciles with an elegant spread of beach-inspired accents. Mounted wall art and snapshot-hungry picture frames cling to the boutique's creamy walls ($18–$80), bracketing caches of artisanal gifts ($10+) and reclaimed-wood furnishings. Delicate hand-painted sea creatures frolic across glazed platters and stemware ($30–$100), and clusters of Archipelago bodycare products coddle and moisturize sun-kissed land-dwellers ($20+). Fragrant rainbows of Trapp candles peer out of a-framed boxes, mustering their forces for up to fifty hours of ambrosial incineration ($25). Crown a favorite hostess or visiting auditor with wreathes of eclectic jewelry ($20–$200) or rifle through treasure troves of baby apparel for giggle-inducing gifts. After a rousing browse, shoppers can throw on sartorial cover-ups ($30) and strut six blocks to the sandy catwalk.
Taste! at 645 Atlantic's confectionary crafters whip up a sweet cornucopia of distinctive cupcakes in an array of gourmet flavors. Bipartisan sweet and savory enthusiasts can delight in the established and widely accepted union of the Chocolate Bacon Kupcake ($1.95), great for early desserts or late breakfasts. Shoo away summer heat with the tongue-cooling delight of the Strawberry Lemonade Kupcake ($1.95), or complete any meal with the Carrot Kupcake ($1.95), which endorses its eponymous veggie with a stylish wrapper and a frosting homage. Taste! at 645 Atlantic's enthusiastic bakers also welcome special orders, including gluten-free, sugar-free, or mummy-curse-free requests.
Jump PT?s personal trainers and instructors fearlessly lead the way on a quest for fitness with students or adults of all different body types, be they athletically trim or overweight, 11 years old or 60. During group classes, the instructors focus on arming students to excel in the company's 10 domains of fitness, which include such pillars of health as strength, coordination, stamina, and balance. Alternatively, they can customize personal-training sessions to help clients meet their personal goals. They even travel to homes and offices to conduct sessions with students or adults in the privacy of a familiar environment. Once healthy habits are established in class, the instructors can recommend meal plans to accelerate results. For those who miss a class or can?t make it to the gym that often, the staff fills its blog with daily exercises, the occasional fun picture from the gym, and videos of cats with ripped abs.
Liberty Tax Service's armada of certified public accountants swoops in to rescue taxpayers from the onslaught of numbers, paperwork, and quadratic equations that overwhelms during tax season. Beyond computerized tax preparation and electronic filing during the months preceding April 15, clients can count on the company's expertise during an audit, through a correspondence with the IRS or state agencies, or while finding the best games living inside their graphic calculators. Liberty Tax Service also benefits community members outside of the office by sponsoring Relay for Life, a race benefitting the American Cancer Society, and by collecting unwanted cell phones and sending them to soldiers overseas.
Owner Rob Manosca started practicing yoga in hopes that it would be an effective conditioning program for his men's volleyball team, but what he discovered instead was a lifelong passion in its own right. Transformed by the Bikram yoga experience, he trekked to Hawaii to undergo teacher training. Today, Rob and his staff help budding yogis harmonize body and mind through hot yoga classes that incorporate a series of 26 poses. In 105 degree heat, participants stretch muscles, stimulate blood flow, and strive for a meditative mental state.
