P&E's USB BDM MULTILINK is an easy-to-use debug and programming interface for Freescale's S08, HC(S)12(X), RS08, and ColdFire V1 lines of MPUs. The USB BDM MULTILINK is a member of P&E's family of USB Multilinks, which allow the PC to communicate with a target processor through the USB port of the PC. The Multilink controls the MPU by accessing the debug port of the target.
The Multilink's speed and reliability make it ideal for development. It is supported by P&E software, Freescale's CodeWarrior and other third-party software (available separately). P&E's Flash Programmer software can be used with the Multilink to program internal and external flash memory devices. The USB BDM Multilink also works with P&E's In-Circuit Debugger software to control the target processor's execution, read/write registers and memory, and perform full C source-level debug.
For an advanced interface which additionally supports Ethernet and serial communications, provides power to the target, and offers several automated programming solutions, the Cyclone PRO is also available from P&E and Freescale. More information on the USB BDM Multilink and Cyclone PRO is available at www.pemicro.com.

Self Assessment
Good academic and career decisions are based on a clear understanding of personal interests, skills, values, personality characteristics and lifestyle preferences. Western's Career Services Center offers three career assessments to help individuals gain greater self-awareness:
Strong Interest Inventory
Used by more than 70% of US colleges and universities, the Strong Interest Inventory is one of the world's most widely used and respected career planning tools. The Strong provides insight into interests, preferences and personal styles. The Strong helps individuals identify areas of study, activities, internships and jobs they're likely to enjoy. This assessment is fee based.
Myers Briggs Type Indicator
The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is the most widely used personality inventories in the world. The MBTI provides insight into an individual's preferred manner of taking in and evaluating information and their preferred styles of working, decision-making and communicating. This assessment is fee based.
We are in the process of transitioning from the FOCUS assessment resource to a new service called SIGI3, which will be available by mid-November.
For more information on these assessments, drop by the Career Services Center in Old Main 280 or call 360-650-3240.

Boulder's TeamSnap sees boost in teams, user base includes Israel-based soccer league
TeamSnap, a Boulder-based developer of an app to manage teams and groups, brought on 12,000 new teams during April, representing a quarter of a million new users, company officials said this week.
The April teams gain, which was three times the amount of new teams added in the same month last year, came just weeks after
landed $2.75 million for turning up the volume on its marketing and development efforts.
As of the end of April, more than 2 million people and 200,000 teams and organizations in 195 countries use TeamSnap's software.
"We've become a leader in the space," said Dave DuPont, TeamSnap's chief executive officer. "The good news is, we emerged from the pack. The bad news is, we have a target on our back.
"… We've achieved a good level of success, and that's allowing us to accelerate."
TeamSnap's bread and butter is sports teams; however, the nearly 4-year-old company has a user base that includes church groups, dragon boat racers, cheese rollers and the Olim Soccer League of Israel, an eight-team league comprised of immigrants and refugees.

BEWILDERMENT. "So rational speculation leads to bewilderment [hayra] and theophany leads to bewilderment. There is nothing but a bewildered one. There is nothing exercising properties but bewilderment. There is nothing but Allah."[i] Bewilderment means perplexity as a not-knowing-where-one-is- going/not-knowing-where-to-go that never stops moving, in any direction, or without direction, or in a direction that cannot be decided, a direction that might be either, but is absolutely neither, right or wrong: a direction that is pure direction and not direction at all.[ii] Beyond from and to,[iii] bewilderment relocates movement, making it "the omnipresent term of equation between anywhere and everywhere."[iv] "The term hayra (perplexity) often renders aporia in Arabic translations from Greek. Aporia means that no passage (poros) has been found to the solution of a puzzle or impasse."[v] Bewilderment is the unfinishably perfect perpetuation of aporia's stalling, the pure anti-freezing of impasse into a plenitude of beautiful procession and flow. "Water. Millions of decaliters. A treasure. Greater than treasure, Usul. We have thousands of such caches, and only a few of us know them all. And when we have enough, we shall change the face of Arrakis."[vi] Bewilderment is the mood of ultimate architecture: totalitarian porosity. All is passage, every way is the way because "the way after all—it does not exist!"[vii] All is process, the perpetual flashing of unending interstitial interchange between problem and solution, branch and intersection. "This conjunction [and] carries enough force to shake and uproot the verb 'to be.' Where are you going? Where are you coming from? What are you heading for? These are totally useless questions."[viii] Follow me![ix] This is the only way of staying with the center: constantly succeed to the furthest boundary of its infinite outside.[x] The motional essence of bewilderment—on this point the English etymology is ideally confused[xi]--is captured in the unspelled difference between hayra and hira (whirlpool).[xii] This image likewise locates you at the fountal threshold between spectatorship and existence. Not his drawable face, but something like this is what Narcissus really sees, an object of supreme confusion between image and self, line and substance. Only by standing over here, on this side beneath impassible overhanging barriers, does the eight-sided star convexly dip to kiss my crown.[xiii] Simultaneously, these marbly horizontals are absolutely steps that I am walking down, into the drowning death of living.[xiv] Image, dESIRE, is the guide: "guidance means being guided to bewilderment, that he might know the whole affair is perplexity, which means perturbation and flux, and flux is life."[xv]
[i] Ibn al 'Arabi, The Meccan Revelations, ed. Michel Chodkiewicz, trans. William C. Chittick & James W. Morris (New York: Pir Press, 2005), 198.2. Chittick explicates the concept: "To find God is to fall into bewilderment (hayra), not the bewilderment of being lost an unable to find one's way, but the bewilderment of finding and knowing God and of not-finding and not-knowing Him at the same time. Every existent thing other than God dwells in a never-never land of affirmation and negation, finding and losing, knowing and not-knowing. The difference between the Finders and the rest of us is that they are fully aware of their own ambiguous situation. They know the significance of the saying of the first calip Abū Bakr: 'Incapacity to attain comprehension is itself comprehension'" (William C. Chittick, The Sufi Path of Knowledge: Ibn al-'Arabi's Metaphysics of Imagination [Albany: State University of New York Press, 1989], 3-4).
[ii] Counterpoint: Dante's Belacqua, who stays still precisely by knowing where he must go: "O frate, andar in sù che porta? . . . Prima convien che tanto il ciel m'aggiri / di fuor da essa, quanto fece in vita, / per ch'io 'ndugiai al fine I buon sospiri" (Purgatorio 4.127-32) [O brother, what's the use of going up? . . . First must the heavens revolve around me outside it, so long as they did during my life, because I delayed good sighs until the end]. Sloth's contrapasso is the self-imprisonment of being a profane qutub.
[iii] "For the bewildered one has a round [dawr] / and a circular motion around the qutb / which he never leaves / But the master of the long path / tends away from what he aims for / seeking what he is already in / A master of fantasies which are his goal / He has a 'from' and a 'to' / and what is between them / But the master of the circular movement / has no starting point / that 'from' should take him over / and no goal / that he should be ruled by 'to' / He has the more complete existence / And is given the totality of the words and wisdoms" (Ibn Arabi, Fusus al-hikam [Bezels of Wisdom], chapter 3, cited from Michael Sells, Mystical Languages of Unsaying, 101-2).

[ix] ". . . Swaying drunkenly to and fro like the branches, fresh as raw silk, which the winds have bent. Gloss: 'Swaying drunkenly,' in reference to the station of bewilderment (حيرة)" (Ibn Arabi, Tarjuman al-Ashwaq [Interpreter of Desires], trans. Reynold A. Nicholson [London: Royal Asiatic Society, 1911], 22.13).
[x] "That bewilderment is achieved in the continual transformation from form to form and in the circular motion beyond the dualism of origin and goal" (Sells, Mystical Languages of Unsaying, 102).
[xi] According to the OED: from wilder, meaning "to cause to lose one's way, as in a wild or unknown place," "of uncertain origin: prob. (by an unusual process) extracted from wilderness on the analogy of the form of wander)." I.e. wilder turned wilderness into a verb on the motional model of wander.
[xii] "'The [Universal] Order is perplexity, and perplexity is agitation and movement, and movement is life' [al-'amr ḥīra wa-l-ḥīra qalaq wa ḥaraka wa-l-ḥaraka ḥayāt]. I read the Arabic word حيرة here as ḥīra not ḥayra following Ibn 'Arabī's intention to identify 'perplexity' and 'whirlpool'. حيرة 'perplexity' can be read as ḥīra not ḥayra, Arabic dictionaries tell us, and 'whirlpool' (ḥīra) is one of the favourite images of universal life and order in Ibn 'Arabī's texts. The ḥā'ir 'perplexed' human being finds himself in constant movement. He cannot gain a foothold at any point, he is not established anywhere. This is why Ibn 'Arabī says that he is 'perplexed in the multiplication of the One': this 'multiplication' is not just epistemological, it is ontological as well, and the perplexed human being is moving in the whirlpool of life and cosmic Order and at the same time realises that he is at that movement" (Andrey Smirnov, "Sufi Hayra and Islamic Art: Contemplating Ornament through Fusus al-Hikam," paper presented at Sufism, Gnosis, Art: The Thought of Ibn Arabi and Shah Nimatullah [Seville, 22-23 November 2004]).
[xiii] "The Cosmos is like a net which takes all its life, as far as ever it stretches, from being wet in the water; it is at the mercy of the sea which spreads out, taking the net with it just so far as it will go, for no mesh of it can strain beyond its set place: the Soul is of so far-reaching a nature—a thing unbounded—as to embrace the entire body of the All in the one extension; so far as the universe extends, there soul is" (Plotinus, Enneads, 4.3.9).
[xiv] "For if anyone follow what is like a beautiful shape playing over water—is there not a myth telling in symbol of such a dupe, how he sank into the depths of the current and was swept away to nothingness? So too, one that is held by material beauty and will not break free shall be precipitated, not in body but in Soul, down to the dark depths loathed of the Intellective-Being, where, blind even in the Lower-World, he shall have commerce only with shadows, there as here" (Plotinus, Enneads, 1.6.7).
[xv] Ibn Arabi, Bezels of Wisdom [Fusus al-Hikam], trans. R.W.J. Austin (New York: Paulist Press, 1980), 254.

Welcome to the next installment of the Double Dipper series, where we check out the upcoming week's two-start pitchers and give weekly-league owners some strategic pickups to give you a leg up over your opponents. My picks last week did quite well, with two of the three having dominate performances in wins and the third struggling a bit but putting up a "quality start". Andy Pettitte struck out eight Baltimore hitters in his win (7.1 IP, 6 hits, 1 ER, 2 BB, 8 Ks), Jorge De La Rosa shut down the Diamondbacks in his win (7 IP, 4 hits, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 Ks) and Chad Gaudin ended up with a loss against Florida (6 IP, 9 hits, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 Ks). With Pettitte starting against a Holliday-less Oakland team tomorrow, De La Rosa going up against a punch-less Giants offense, and Gaudin going up against a Washington team making a run at the loss record, my picks have the potential to put up a huge week.
Now on to next week, we'll take a look at the two-start pitchers that are available in 50-95% of Yahoo leagues. Then, I'll analyze the best options on this list and give you my thoughts on who is worth a spot start next week. If you like streaming in your weekly-lineup league or you've simply have an extra roster spot to burn, check out our suggestions below.
Pitcher | Start 1 | Start 2 | % Owned |
Oliver Perez* | vs COL | vs ARZ | 14% |
Braden Looper | vs WAS | @SD | 7% |
Armando Galarraga | @TEX | vs SEA | 18% |
Glen Perkins* | vs CWS | vs LAA | 5% |
Jamie Moyer* | @ARZ | @SF | 11% |
Carl Pavano | @LAA | vs DET | 10% |
Paul Maholm* | @SF | vs WAS | 29% |
Brian Bannister | @BAL | @TB | 15% |
Vin Mazzaro | @BOS | vs TOR | 7% |
Clay Buchholz | vs OAK | @BAL | 23% |
Kevin Correia | @CIN | vs MIL | 10% |
Bronson Arroyo | vs SD | vs COL | 20% |
Mike Pelfrey | vs COL | vs ARZ | 30% |
Barry Zito* | vs PIT | vs PHI | 10% |
Mixed League Pick
Clay Buchholz
The pickings are looking slim this week and while Buchholz isn't the safest pick of the bunch, I think he pretty clearly has the most potential to go out and put up a big week. In his last two starts since being called up by the Red Sox, he hasn't quite shown why he is such a highly touted prospect, walking five and striking out six in 9.2 innings. However, after a quick look at who he faced in those two starts, it's tough to hold it against the young right-hander as he went up against two powerful offenses in Texas and Toronto. After a couple tough opponents to start the season, Buchholz will get a major reprieve in his next start. If anyone can bring out the ace in a pitcher, it's a start against the Oakland A's, one of the leagues worst offenses in baseball which only got worse when their cleanup hitter, Matt Holliday, was traded away yesterday. With the potent Red Sox line up for support, it's looking good for Buchholz to pick up his second win of the season.
In his second start, Buchholz will face the Orioles in Baltimore. The Baltimore offense sits pretty much in the middle of the pack in the majors and while they are quite a bit tougher than the A's, they aren't a team that should cause too much worry. The combination of Jason Berken (Baltimore's starter) and the Red Sox offense should give Buchholz a very realistic shot at a win if he can manage to get through five innings. If you're looking to supplement your win total this week Buchholz is your man and he definitely has the potential for more against these two teams.
Deep League pick (Owned <10%)
Jamie Moyer
OK, so he shouldn't really qualify as a deep league pick as he's owned in 11% of yahoo leagues, but it's close enough for me. Especially when you look at the other options for this pick, yikes. Moyer isn't what you would call a sexy pick, but at 46-years old the man can still get it done. While his 5.65 ERA doesn't inspire confidence, there are three factors which lead me to think he has some value as a spot start this week.
First off, he'll be facing a weak offense in Arizona followed by one of the league's worst offenses in San Francisco. It's pretty much impossible for a starter not to throw at least a quality start against the Giants who have scored only 19 runs in the eight games since the all-star break. Second, Moyer's performance away from the bandbox in Philadelphia has been pretty decent this year (4.38 ERA, 1.29 WHIP) and was very good in 2008 (2.92 ERA, 1.20 WHIP). While Chase Field isn't exact a pitcher's paradise, he has pitched well there in his career (though a small sample). Finally, he has the best offense in the National League for support and the Phillies as a team have been on fire lately. This helps his case for a win against the Diamondbacks, though with Tim Lincecum as his opposition in his start against the Giants, that may be the only win he has a chance at this week.

Fragrant Braised Chicken
Author Notes: I have been wooed by black cardamom. While both types are uniquely aromatic, black cardamom pods have a heady, smoky quality that is difficult to describe or forget. I thought that braising would capture its essence. Jamie Oliver has an amazing chicken recipe that involves cooking a whole chicken in a mixture of milk, lemon zest, garlic and sage leaves. The resulting chicken is incredibly moist and flavorful. Changing up the ingredients, and keeping the lid on for the first 45 minutes concentrates the smoky black cardamom, the subtly spiced ginger and fragrant orange into a surprisingly delicately flavored chicken that is moist and delicious. Cream rounds out the sauce, while cilantro adds fresh brightness. - gingerroot
Serves 4
- 1 3-31/2 lb whole chicken, preferably organic
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Extra virgin olive oil
- sea salt
- fresh ground black pepper
- 1 2-inch piece ginger, peeled, cut into four pieces, smashed with handle of knife
- 4 black cardamom pods
- 1 teaspoon whole coriander seeds
- Zest of 1 orange
- 2 1/4 cups cups chicken stock
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup chopped cilantro, leaves and stems
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Adjust oven rack to the lowest position (removing one if necessary).
- Rinse chicken, removing giblets and neck; reserve giblets for another use. Pat chicken and neck dry with a paper towel and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Trim excess fat if necessary (around neck cavity especially).
- Over medium-high heat, melt butter and a glug of olive oil in a cast iron enamel Dutch oven (preferably) just slightly bigger than the chicken. Once foam subsides, add chicken and neck and carefully cook on all sides until golden.
- Transfer chicken to a plate. Carefully pour off all but 1 tablespoon of fat. Return chicken into pot, along with ginger, black cardamom, coriander, orange zest and chicken stock. Cover pot with lid and transfer to the oven for 45 minutes, basting chicken once halfway through. After 45 minutes, remove lid and cook chicken for 25-35 minutes more, until a meat thermometer registers an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
- Remove from oven. Take chicken out and allow to rest 10-15 minutes before carving. Meanwhile, place Dutch oven on stovetop and whisk in cream and cilantro. For a thicker sauce, make a slurry with a tablespoon or two of cornstarch with an equal amount of the cream in a small bowl and whisk into sauce. If you are going the cornstarch route, you will need to turn the stove on (low-medium heat) to incorporate the slurry.
- Carve chicken and transfer to a serving platter. Generously spoon sauce over chicken pieces and serve. Enjoy! Note: Remaining sauce can be transferred to a gravy boat and enjoyed over rice or mashed potatoes.

The DC New 52: Reviews of the Rest of the Week Four Books
- Posted by Johanna on September 26, 2011 at 8:21 am
- Category: KC, Superhero Reviews
Reviews by KC Carlson
Following up the first half of the week…
Batman #1
Upfront: Writer Scott Snyder is just coming off a fan-favorite run of Detective Comics. Penciller Greg Capullo has been drawing acclaim for his work at Image Comics — mostly on Spawn-related titles. And Bruce Wayne is Batman. Perhaps you heard about that.
I knew I was going to love this new Batman run when I saw "the building that looked like Batman" in just panel two of this story, setting the entire tone for this new look at Batman and his Gotham City (a character in itself). I loved the fake-out of the Joker teaming with Batman to bring down marauding Arkham Asylum crazies out for blood. I loved the scene with the three sane Robins in tuxes (although wondered about the empty Robin suit under glass in the Batcave — is Bruce not aware that Jason is back in this new DCU?). And loved Bruce Wayne taking an active role in Bat-stories again. I even loved seeing Vicki Vale (although whenever I see her now I always hear TV's Chuck muttering "Vicki Vale… Vicki Vale" under his breath, just before he meets Sarah Walker in the pilot).
Great comic. Great writing. Great artwork. Great two-page spread of the new Batcave (or is it Bat-bunker these days?). Great detective work. Great cliffhanger mystery. Great great great.
This was like reading a classic Batman tale from the 1980s, updated to modern sensibilities. An excellent tone for the series that has had much craziness and instability over the past few years (although some wonderful individual stories).
More please.
Green Lantern Corps #1
Upfront: I'm currently suffering from GL overkill. Have always liked the GL concepts (especially the aliens), but really wonder if the franchise actually needs four titles. But the franchise is "hot," so…
Okay, we start with more gore and body parts. I'm not such a prude that I just hate gore for existing. In the right hands, it can be a very effective and evocative tool. What I dislike about its use in the New DC is that it emphasizes the "sheep" mentality of current comic book creators — they see it being used elsewhere, so they gotta do it, too, whether it's appropriate to the storyline or not. It's such a hack-based, cheap-thrill, shortcut-for-actual-storytelling thing to do. I wonder if DC is so desperate to amp up their villains that there are weekly memos to Editorial stating, "We need 35% more decapitations this week! Get on it!"
I don't mean to dump this on writer Peter Tomasi — who I think is a better writer than to need this crutch — yet I see him going to the gore well over and over again. It made me drop the previous incarnation of the book, although I came back for the disappointing "War of the Green Lanterns" crossover. I disliked that much of that crossover focused on the four human Lanterns, but enough interesting things happened to them there that I was looking forward to finding out how they were going to deal with the choices they made in the new series.
Green Lantern Corps #1 started promisingly, with lots of background on John Stewart and Guy Gardner (the obvious focal points), but by the end — when they're off on a major mission dealing with the seeming genocide of the planet Nerro — I realized that what I was hoping for was probably going to be pushed off for yet another major war/battle scenario.
Based on the fact that there was absolutely no space saved to deal with any of the other members of the Corps in this issue — they only show up on the next-to-last page — I am guessing that at least a few of them are going to end up as cannon fodder. That seems to be the current role of many of the non-humanoid GLs. I did catch the tiny detail that the Corps has now doubled in size to 7200. My first reaction: even more faceless alien GLs to kill off in the goriest way possible.
Artist Fernando Pasarin excels at the aliens and detailed backgrounds, but I wish he'd work a little bit harder on the panel-to-panel consistency of faces and a little less on the detail of what a severed finger looks like.
I'll probably stick around for a bit because I like the GLC, but if the story doesn't grab me quick, I'm gone. Also, I saw a number of GLs on the cover that I'd love to read more about — I'd love for someone to step up and redeem Arisia as a character after what has been done to her over the years — yet none of them are in this issue. Sometimes poster covers suck.
Nightwing #1
Upfront: Glad he's back. Dick as Batman just felt wrong — mostly for the character — so I was eagerly awaiting this title.
I wasn't disappointed, but a little surprised, that the opening issue by Kyle Higgins and Eddy Barrows was so low-key. But then, a getting-back-to-your-roots story was much needed to reset the character after a couple of years in the Bat-suit. I just didn't expect that he'd go all the way back to his circus roots. (Quick nit-pick: How likely is it that there would be enough open space in downtown Gotham City to pitch a full-sized circus tent? Wouldn't they just set up in Gotham's version of Madison Square Garden?)
The book does an excellent job of transitioning Dick Grayson back to his former self as kind of anti-Batman (the Batman role never really suited him personality-wise), got him back in his regular element (bouncing and flipping across Gotham), and back in a welcome nod to an old M.O. — initially getting kind-of clobbered by a new bad guy and having to battle back from being behind. This showed a great understanding of what makes Dick Grayson/Nightwing such an interesting character.
It's not a book designed to attract a huge amount of attention going in (like Justice League or Action), but the fact that Nightwing #1 is a good solid action comic lands it high in comparison to many of the other New 52 books.
Red Hood and the Outlaws #1
Upfront: Hate the Red Hood character. Not much love for Speedy either, especially in recent years. And I don't know who Starfire is any more.
Wow. I'm not even sure why this is a comic book at all. It's so obvious that it's Scott Lobdell's screenplay for some gawdawful mash-up of uber-popular current film clichés (mindless action, slacker buddy comedy, exploitation of women, stylization of violence, etc.). In fact, it even reads like it's shot in super slo-mo. (That is not a compliment.)
It's so cold-blooded in its approach, it seems specifically designed by committee and targeted specifically to the media's only focus group that matters anymore: white males aged 18 to 35 (although I would argue that DC actually wants that group younger, say 16-25). It's soulless. And I'm not surprised that adolescent boys (or the adolescent-minded) are loving this title. It's designed for them. At least there are 51 other DC titles that may be of more interest to the rest of us.
There's already been lots of digital "ink" spilled over the portrayal of Starfire here. (Yes, I broke my rule of checking out other comments before writing mine on this title. And quickly regretted it.) I really enjoyed the thoughtful commentary of Laura Hudson over at Comics Alliance although many of the now-over-1,800 comments made me sad. Or angry. Or stupefied.
I think that something's gone horribly wrong when a book like this is only rated T (for teen). Granted, there are no actual bad words or actual shagging (although much implied), but the fact that this comic can get into the hands of impressionable 14-16-year-old boys, who might think that this is how men are supposed to think about women, is worse than the comic itself. Not that anybody who worked on the comic would realize that.
Also: points off for the logo that implies that this book is part of the Bat-Family group of titles. Red Hood and the Outlaws is not fit for any family.
I really enjoyed the artwork of Kenneth Rocafort, although I don't always understand his super-stylistic approach (especially hair that looks like wire). Too bad I won't be seeing more of it — at least until he's drawing another title.
Supergirl #1
Upfront: I was really enjoying the Sterling Gates/Jamal Igle run on this book, until DC decided that they were too "quiet" for the character and replaced them. (Also enjoyed the recent Kelly Sue DeConnick-scripted tale.) The modern Supergirl series has been a unsatisfying jumble of half-baked ideas and co-opting of the character for larger storylines. So I was thinking that a re-launch might be a good thing for the title.
Boy, was I wrong. Well, maybe the book could have used a fresh start, but this seems a strange way to go. Although, to be fair, there is not a lot to go on here, as it's another unsatisfying DC #1 that doesn't even come close to letting us know what's going on — or even offering up enough tantalizing mystery to force us to come back.
Supergirl has had a lot of not-so-great costumes over the years, and this issue introduces another one for that particular Hall of Shame, with a too-often repeated S-shield motif — one of which cries out "Hey! Look at my crotch!" — and the most ridiculous boots ever (cut-outs for the knees?). Laughed out loud at the "Mother would kill me" for wearing this outfit line in the story — but not because it looks like fetish wear on a teenager. She'd be mad that she was wearing this military-style costume before she actually graduated. So, what kind of kinky military does this new Krypton have anyway?
The rest of the issue is all fight scenes with giant robots "falling from the sky" so that Supergirl can discover her new powers and cut lose without hurting anybody — except she discovers that the robots actually have on-board human operators. Before she can deal with that, costumed Superman shows up. To Be Continued.
New Kryptonian math: 20 pages of badly drawn robot fight scenes – (no) story = No sale. And not worth the complicated credits: Two writers (Michael Green and Mike Johnson), a penciller/inker (Mahmud Asrar), and an additional inker (Dan Green).
Better luck with the next Supergirl. #42 in the series.
Wonder Woman #1
Upfront: DC's most frustrating character gets yet another makeover. Frustrating in the sense that there have been so many interpretations of the character over many long years, and none of them ever seem to stick or last long. Even more frustrating, when the book is actually perceived as being good, often sales do not match the perception.
This is a very good comic. It's produced by two modern masters of the field: writer Brian Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang.
Azzarello is best known for his work on 100 Bullets, Hellblazer, Loveless, and various Batman and Superman storylines (Joker, For Tomorrow). Cliff Chiang has illustrated Human Target, The Creeper, The Spectre, and Green Arrow/Black Canary. The two collaborated on a eight-part Dr. Thirteen back-up in Tales of the Unexpected, collected under the title of Architecture & Mortality — a much-heralded deconstruction (or is it?) of the DC Universe (and possibly of comics itself). In the wake of the New 52, perhaps it's time to pull that out again for re-reading — in a whole new context.
So it is with some anticipation that they come to Wonder Woman. And for many they won't disappoint.
The big bad is a mysterious hedonistic type who drugs and uses party girls as quasi-oracles before burning them to a crisp in the process. What I thought was a typo on page 1 ("I'm the sun of a king") I now think is a clue: The god of the Sun is Apollo, who just happens to be the son of Zeus, and the twin brother of Artemis — two long-time supporting characters in the Wonder Woman mythos. And the Oracle of Delphi was originally inspired by Apollo. So that's my guess, although on first reading I thought the character might be the son of Darkseid for some reason. He's certainly cruel enough.
This interpretation of Wonder Woman may be unique in that it appears to have much of its basis in horror. Besides people being burned up, there are animal mutilations (and creepy aftermaths) and much violence and blood. Which is actually not that far removed from the backgrounds of the characters being actual gods and goddesses, since those original myths are quite bloody and brutal. In a more ordered comic book world, Wonder Woman might be better served as a traditional comics barbarian or sword & sorcery character than as a superhero, although she's rarely been portrayed that way before. It's an interesting — and gutsy — approach for the creators to take. And it might be a hard sell for traditional superhero fans who only think of Diana and company in that light.
I probably fall in that category. For now, it's in my "Not My Thing, But You May Like It" category. Unlike other books that I've put under that heading, I'm continuing with this one, based on the strength of the creators and their outstanding track record. That several framed Cliff Chiang prints can be located around our house may also have something to do with it. Man, that guy can draw!
I'm kinda creeped out by this book right now — which will probably make this even more appealing for many of you — but I am hoping the gore will be served up in small doses. These creators don't need it as a crutch to tell great stories. I'm sticking around to find out.

September 26, 2011 at 9:25 AMBatman was definitely lots of fun, and Red Hood was definitely utter trash. Adolescent in the worst possible ways.
I thought Green Lantern Corps was pretty fun as just a lightweight action book; not much substance to it but it promises mindless space-faring adventure and some likeable characters – though I see your point about the alien Lanterns unfortunately remaining anonymous, and I hope they get fleshed out some more in the next few issues. Assuming we do get some characterization of the others in subsequent issues, I prefer that approach over the first-issue infodumps of some of the other books with big rosters and long histories. It's not a series I'm super excited about, but I'm willing to stick around a few issues to see if it's satisfying past the first issue. The art was much better for the aliens and space stuff than the Earth stuff, so it's probably good that they seem to be leaving Earth behind now.
Supergirl was OK, in a similar vein, but nothing amazing either. I certainly won't argue too much with anyone who found it boring, but the art was nice enough and I liked the inner monologue and the fact that she's slowly coming to terms with this not being a dream. Again, I'll give it a few issues.
I like Dick Grayson, but Nightwing was pretty boring.
But Wonder Woman was amazing. That's my second favorite book of the relaunch so far, topped only by Animal Man. Just really amazing stuff: dark and gory, but also fun and lively, so it's not just wallowing in the gore and horror. I thought it was a blast and I really loved that balancing of tones. It's such a perfect slant on the character: as you say, it initially seems counterintuitive considering the usual treatment of WW, but it actually fits perfectly with the bloody myths that serve as her foundation. This is one I was looking forward to and it even exceeded my high expectations.

September 26, 2011 at 12:29 PMI totally agree about Batman! Right up there with Action for me! I liked Nightwing a tad more than you did, mostly because I really tried reading it from a new reader perspective, and it worked terrifically under those conditions. I have to re-read Wonder Woman. I'm one of the very few that don't like the art. Not impressed with Supergirl (Didn't DC put any thought into the order in which these were being released? Why have Superman appear here and in JL before Superman #1 debuts, especially as he's different than the Action character?), as there was no actual story. And creeped out by Red Hood et al. Not at all a way to get me interested in Lobdell's Teen Titans. A woman who wants random sex with guys whom she's not going to recall with any specificity afterward because she's ALIEN (but not too alien to want to hook up with us humans, don't you know?)and because Lobdell apparently likes the idea of every time with Starfire being the first time. Takes the pressure off a guy if he's never going to be compared to anyone else. Yuck.

September 26, 2011 at 1:03 PMAgreed on Batman, I haven't read much by Snyder but he seems to really get it. Loved the varying voices, and the mystery is really good. I too thought of Chuck when I saw Vicki lol!
I was surprised by GLC, it was a little surprising to see Guy & John back on Earth though I guess it was done in a way to show that they don't fit there anymore. It looks like it could be a good buddy cop show type of comic.
Higgens has said on twitter that he was a big fan of the Dixon Nightwing run, especially the first few years worth. It showed here as we get back to what made Nightwing & Dick Grayson just such a fun character read about.
I honestly feel people are giving Red Hood more attention than the book deserves. Its a train wreck of a book, that I don't expect to last past 6 issues as there doesn't seem to be a point for these characters to be together. Its a book that probably would be ignored but with the attention now, will probably get those fans who aren't old enough (or brave enough) to buy Playboy to check out.
I liked Supergirl slightly better than you did. For good or ill strange costumes have been a part of superheroes forever. I thought the first issue was light in terms of story, but like the basic premise of a girl from elsewhere on Earth.
I'll get the next issue to see what she and Superman discuss, though if he offers to put her in an orphanage, than I understand the punch on #2's cover clearly.:)
This is the first time I've ever found the Greek Gods interesting in Wonder Woman, so it has me liking the book. Before they were just boring or had shallow portrayals (except for Ares) so good to see them apparently setting up Diana to be our shield against them.

Don't let that be the takeaway from the thread — that's what the trolls WANT you to do.
There were literally hundreds of positive, supportive responses before a half-dozen or so people showed up to repeat the same vitriolic criticisms over and over again. Focus on the positive — and I sincerely hope Laura does too.

That's part of the run that predates the reboot. It's two per sector now.
- Anthony Says:
September 26, 2011 at 9:32 PMI only read "Red Hood" (and "Catwoman") just to see if it was as bad as the complaining merits. Which it did… ick. Granted, not a fan or follower of Red Hood (didn't follow the whole "Jason Todd back from the dead/whatever and taking up what I always thought of as 'Joker's pre-Joker identity'" thing, or whatever), so this was my first real exposure to the guy. Still, Red Hood felt a lot like some Deadpool-knockoff to me…
That said, this book was garbage… did anyone at DC watch their own corporate cousins' "Teen Titans" cartoon (to get an idea what new readers from the general public will imagine Starfire as being like)?
- Jason Says:
September 27, 2011 at 4:26 AM" And I'm not surprised that adolescent boys (or the adolescent-minded) are loving this title. It's designed for them. At least there are 51 other DC titles that may be of more interest to the rest of us."
I love how critics (in particular those who have been discussing the new 52) are desperately trying to shame anyone who might like what they don't by associating them or subtly implying they're some sort of socially stunted basement dwelling fanboy. This kind of nonsense is happening more and more and it's really kind of sad. They tried it with Catwoman as well and now there is a growing backlash developing as a result as more and more comic blogs are "coming out" with critics on record as actually (gasp) liking it.
I've personally enjoyed very few of the new 52. Resurrection Man, Demon Knights, Action, Captain Atom. I didn't care for Red Hood a whole lot but if I knew someone who did, or someone who liked anything I didn't like I doubt I would try to guilt them or shame them or subtly insult them. Because you know, that would make me look like a complete tool. Just like you look. That's really more pathetic than the people whom you think might like Red Hood or Catwoman or Batgirl or whatever else.
Now, please feel free to continue looking down your nose at those great unwashed masses, those poor, tasteless, uneducated slobs who don't know any better who might make the unfortunate mistake of liking something you don't. We now return you to the pretentiousness, childish hyperbole, hypocrisy and feigned indignation, all ready in progress.

September 27, 2011 at 5:06 AMIt is unfortunate to hear about the gore factor in the GL Corps comic. I first read work by Tomasi with his excellent writing on Hourman, so I know he is certainly capable of good writing and without any gore factor either. Hourman not withstanding though, I've never been sufficently interested in any of the other DC titles he has written, from the sounds of GL Corps I probably haven't missed much.
As a slight tangent, I thought DnA's writing of Nova and the Guardians of the Galaxy showed how a "galactic police corps" (in this case the Nova Corps and the Guardians)could be written well. It seems DC would like their 'space' titles to get the same buzz, but their approach is probably too editorial committee driven and GL much too well-known to let any writer have their head with the characters (Jim Starlin notwithstanding :-)). - Patrick Says:
October 13, 2011 at 8:21 AMI'm surprised so many people didn't like Red Hood, it was my favorite of the launch. I don't think your supposed to like the characters, though I found them easy to relate to. Their sexual attitudes (both men and women) remind me of myself and friends when we were in our 20's. When often traded off girls in the manner shown, though I never though it was degrading being that the girls we knew were much the same. Perhaps the bulk of the readership weren't as fortunate as I was sexually but that's what draws me to the book. On top of the action and fantastic art I feel there is fantastic room to explore these dynamics, both there sexual attitudes growing from quick gratification to genuine emotions for one another, complete with all the trappings of jealousy and hurt. I'd imagine that this will be forged by the present violence in the book destroying their feelings of invincibility which is another theme having to do with the bubble that is college bursting as they discover real life. The short is I feel a lot of people missed the point of this book.

Concierge.com's insider take:
Suite, a gay hot spot with a mixed crowd not far from Puerta del Sol, is anything you want it to be. There's a trendy restaurant; there's a bar that teems with plant life; there's a discotheque; and perhaps best of all, there's a memorably beautiful terrace and garden full of trees and fresh air out back. Suite's music tends to have a deep groove to it, and even amid the crowds of good-looking twentysomethings on the dance floor, the place manages not to feel overcrowded or claustrophobic. Wear your party clothes.

This piece represents a young woman modelled in a burlesque pose reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style. Its elegant and seductive aspect would fit perfectly in a traditional interior but would also bring a touch of classicism in a contemporary decor.
Here is my model Dee. She did not have to stay like this for any lenght of time. I just took some pictures of her pose and used these images as reference in the studio.
The original being worked on in my studio.
I love modelling in wax. This is a fantastic sculpting medium. Cheap, easy and very versatile. It reflects the light beautifully. It has many advantages over alternatives such as clay, Plastiline and other modelling compounds. At room tempearture it can be carved or filed like wood, cold it can be machined like plastic or stone, at your body temperature it can be modelled like clay, It can molten and painted on, parts can be welded together and broken off again. Unlike clay it does not dry, you can just leave it anywhere, at any stage and pick it up later, even much later exactely as you left it. Another big advantage is that it sustains it own weight. There is no need to construct an armature. And of course it can be cast into a mold to make copies of a part you want to replicate...
I think I'll write a wax working manual to show interested parties a few pointers. Not enough people are sculpting in wax.

My TiVo DVR Doesn't Respond to my TiVo Remote Control
*All fields required unless otherwise indicated.
If you want to control two TiVo boxes with one remote, go to Controlling two TiVo boxes with one remote.
If your TiVo box is not responding to your Remote Control, perform one or more of the following steps
- Check to make sure that you are using the remote control that came with your TiVo box. It will have a TiVo button on it.
- Press any button on the remote control to verify that the red light (amber light for Premiere remotes) above the TiVo button on the remote control flashes. If it does not, perform the following:
- Check to verify the batteries are inserted correctly. Both batteries should be inserted negative end first.
- Try removing the batteries from the remote. Wait 30 seconds and replace the batteries.
- Try replacing the batteries with new batteries. If this is a new TiVo DVR, try batteries that did not come with the box.
- If the light still will not respond, continue to Step 11.
- If the remote has a 1-2 switch, change to the other setting and push the TiVo button on the remote control to go to TiVo Central.
- Check for obstructions that may be blocking the signal from the remote control reaching the IR sensor that is behind the front center panel of your box. For example, an entertainment center cabinet door may be blocking the signal from your remote reaching your box.
- Locate all remote controls for other devices and verify there is not another remote control sending an IR signal. The following are examples of other devices that might have remotes causing interference: TV, DVD, stereo, or wireless game controller.
- Try resetting the remote control address so that it will control any box. To reset the remote control address:
- Hold down the Pause and TiVo buttons for 5 seconds, until the red light (amber light for Premiere remotes) on the remote comes on.
- Use the number buttons to enter 0. A remote control set to remote address 0 will control any DVR.
- Turn off your TV's backlight function.
- Turn off any computer monitors in the room.
- Flash a bright light on the front of the box to reset the IR receiver.
- Perform a global reset of the remote control. For more information, go to How Do I Perform a Global Reset for My Remote Control?
- Powercycle your box by removing the power cord from the back of the box and waiting 30 seconds before plugging it back in and look for the TiVo start up screen.
- If the red light (amber light for Premiere remotes) does not flash or the remote continues to be unresponsive, you will need to purchase a new remote control at the TiVo Store.
NOTE: If you are using a Crestron remote, please see Crestron integration for HD TiVo boxes
NOTE: After performing a global reset, you can reprogram your remote. For information on programming the remote, go to How to Program My Remote to Control a TV/Stereo?
NOTE: If you do not see the TiVo start up screen, verify you are viewing the correct input channel on your TV. For more information, go to My box Powers on, but I Do Not See Any Screens.
NOTE: If you believe your remote control is under warranty, call our customer service team at 877-367-8486 to arrange a replacement.
Interference from a Television
- While the TV is off, press the 'Select' button on the TiVo remote. If the box's yellow light flashes, the box understood the command. Proceed to step 2. If the box's yellow light did not turn on, the command was not received by the box. See Television functions that may cause remote interference below.
- While the TV is on, press the 'Select' button and notice if the yellow light responds. If it does, the television is not likely the cause of the issue. If the light does not appear, turn the TV off and try again. If the light appears when the television is off, but does not appear when the television is on, proceed to step 3.
- Do you have a plasma or LCD TV?
Yes: Go to Television functions that may cause remote interference
No: Please contact TiVo Customer Support for assistance.
Television functions that may cause remote interference
Plasma TVs placed too close to the IR Receiver of the box can cause issues which prevent the IR commands from being properly received by the box. Move the box away from the TV and try again.
Certain LCD TV backlights can cause IR interference which prevents IR commands from reaching the box. Some of these types of televisions have features or settings that modify the backlight levels and can create IR interference. Examples include: Energy Saving settings or auto dimming features which adjusts the backlight settings based on ambient light. Check your TV settings to see if any of these settings are active. If so, disable it or try modifying the backlight setting manually to a higher or lower level until the box is able to respond.
If the above steps did not work, it might be a hardware issue. Please contact TiVo Customer Support or purchase a new remote control at the TiVo Store.

"All right," Felton says.
Griffin later told an FBI agent he never intended to pay Felton for the drugs. He planned to rip off his partner.
The next day at a north Miami-Dade flea market Felton gave Griffin a gym bag with six kilograms of flour tightly wrapped in plastic, according to court documents from Griffin's trial. Griffin promised to deliver the money as soon as possible. After they parted, police and federal agents swarmed over Griffin, cuffed him, and loaded him into a car. In the chaos, Griffin managed to wriggle free, open the the door, and disappear.
The feds didn't immediately issue an arrest warrant for Griffin because they wanted him to work as an informant, law enforcement sources says. The investigators believed other police officers were involved in the same scam. Griffin met with the FBI once, then backed out of another appointment. The feds got a warrant.
On October 25, 1997, more than two and a half years after Griffin's escape, a Miami-Dade patrol car pulled a car over on NW 28th Place for an improper lane change. Griffin was a passenger. He gave police a fake name, Ken St. Rifle, and said he was in town from Georgia to buy a car. Police found $9204 in cash in his pockets. At police headquarters, officers took fingerprints and discovered his identity, according to the arrest report. He was charged with possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, as a result of the flea-market affair.
Though the feds tried to persuade Griffin to work as an informant even after he was charged, negotiations were unsuccessful, court sources say. The reason is unclear. Either Griffin couldn't implicate other officers or the feds were unwilling to cut a deal acceptable to Griffin and his attorney, Jon May.
After a career hustling the hustlers, Griffin himself had been hustled.
The trial was held in U.S. District Court Judge Ursula Ungaro-Benages's third-floor courtroom in the downtown federal courthouse. It lasted a week. FBI agents testified, a bureau videotape of Griffin meeting Felton in a parking lot was shown, and transcripts of the pair's other meetings were read. But prosecutors never called Felton to the witness stand. Perhaps prosecutor Tom Mulvihill thought the ex-cop's testimony was unnecessary. Or maybe Mulvihill was concerned about the FBI's alleged promise not to prosecute Felton.
May argued that the government improperly enticed Griffin with sham drugs. Mulvihill countered that Griffin believed he was receiving cocaine and was willing to sell it. The jury returned a guilty verdict. After this Friday's sentencing Marvin Griffin will likely spend the rest of his productive life behind bars.
Felton's alleged crimes weren't mentioned in his personnel file because the FBI hoped to snare other officers, say police sources. That file is available to the public. He resigned May 5, 1995. Less than a year later, in January 1996, he got a mortgage broker's license.
Felton's father Willie didn't know the purported reason his son resigned from the department until New Times called to requested an interview. "He told me he was resigning because he was doing undercover work and it was too dangerous."
Ladson, the band teacher, recalls running into Felton's sister-in-law outside a bank recently. "She said Danny resigned from the force because it was getting so dangerous."
In 1996 Felton bought a modest single-story house in Opa-locka. His neighbors there remember him as a quiet, well-groomed man who kept to himself. Every so often a police car would park in his driveway, the neighbors recall.
In 1997 Felton sold that house for $78,000 and bought a house on NW 187th Street and Tenth Avenue.
Despite his conviction, Griffin says he has tried to move on with his life. He recently asked Ungaro-Benages to allow him to marry Jackson in prison: "I've been with Reba for almost ten years. We had been plan to marry, but every time we ready to, something comes up. Well, again, something has come up."
Coincidentally, Felton is also engaged to be married this November, Sharpstein notes. The former officer is ever confident things will continue to go his way. "Just because there's a bend in the road doesn't mean it's the end of the road," he tells New Times before hanging up .

Gold Pops as Equities Slide (Update 1)
Updated from 10:16 a.m. ET with settlement prices and comments
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Gold prices were popping on Thursday as traders bought the yellow metal against a massive selloff in Japanese stocks and other global equity markets.
Gold for June delivery at the COMEX division of the CME climbed $24.40 to settle at $1,391.80 an ounce. The gold price traded as high as $1,397.10 and as low as $1,355 an ounce, while the spot price was up $21.80, according to Kitco's gold index.
The Nikkei 225 in Japan plummeted 7.3%, its steepest drop since the aftermath of the tsunami and nuclear disaster in March 2011, as investors feared an unexpected drop by Chinese manufacturing into contraction coupled with hints that the Federal Reserve may scale back its monetary stimulus
Silver prices for July delivery added 4 cents to close at $22.51 an ounce, while the U.S. dollar index was dropping 0.69% to $83.70. Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke's testimony Wednesday on Capitol Hill initially boosted gold as the central bank chief said current quantitative easing efforts should continue, but the mood quickly soured when minutes of the policy-making wing said a number of members would consider scaling back stimulus by June. Thursday's pop in prices showed a flight to safety after sentiment shifted again overnight on Japan's tumble, which spread to Europe and the United States, according to Ole Hansen, head of commodities strategy at Saxo Bank. "I think the feeling on the market is at the moment -- considering how there's been almost like a one-way street for equities over the last few months -- will this just be a couple of days blip and then the buyers will return?" Hansen said in a phone interview from Copenhagen. Chinese manufacturing PMI flash for May printed at 49.6, which was down from the prior reading at 50.5. Any number below 50 suggests a contraction in the sector. The dip in manufacturing activity in China could pose a difficult play for the yellow metal as many traders view the country's central bank purchases of gold as a positive sign, said Yoni Jacobs, chief investment strategist at Chart Prophet. Jacobs said gold attracts a lot of investors because of China's considerable purchases of the yellow metal, but also as a hedge against macroeconomic uncertainties.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Narcotics are strong drugs that are sometimes used to treat pain. They are also called opioids. You take them only when your pain is so severe that you cannot work or do your daily tasks. They may also be used if other types of pain medicine do not relieve pain.
Narcotics can provide short-term relief of severe back pain. This can allow you to return to your normal daily routine.
Narcotics work by attaching themselves to pain receptors in your brain. Pain receptors receive chemical signals sent to your brain and help create the sensation of pain. When narcotics attach to pain receptors, the drug can block the feeling of pain. Even though narcotics can block the pain, they cannot cure the cause of your pain.
Nonspecific back pain - narcotics; Backache - chronic - narcotics; Lumbar pain - chronic - narcotics; Pain - back - chronic - narcotics; Chronic back pain - low - narcotics
Narcotics are called "controlled substances" or "controlled medicines." This means that their use is regulated by law. One reason for this is that narcotics can be addictive. To avoid narcotics addiction, take these drugs exactly as your doctor or pharmacist prescribes.
Do not take narcotics for back pain for more than 3 to 4 months at a time. (This amount of time may even be too long for some people.)
How you take narcotics will depend on your pain. Your doctor may advise you to take them only when you have pain. Or you may be advised to take them on a regular schedule if your pain is hard to control.
Some important guidelines to follow while taking narcotics include:
Narcotics can make you sleepy and confused. Impaired judgment is common. When you are taking narcotics, do not drink alcohol, use street drugs, or drive or operate heavy machinery.
These medicines can make your skin feel itchy. If this is a problem for you, talk with your doctor about lowering your dose or trying another medicine.
Some people become constipated when taking narcotics. If this happens, your doctor may advise you to drink more fluids, get more exercise, eat foods with extra fiber, or use stool softeners. Other medications can often help with constipation.
If your narcotic prescription makes you feel sick to your stomach or causes you to throw up, try taking your medicine with food. Other medications can often help with nausea, as well.
