FORT IRWIN - When you talk to an Iraqi, be prepared to get up close and personal. Hugs and kisses are not out of the question.
Seif El Masek Gattas, an Egyptian-American who is assistant professor in the Defense Language Institute's Middle Eastern School III at the Presidio of Monterey, gives that bit of cultural advice to a room crowded with men and women soldiers of the Army's 4th Infantry Division bound for Iraq. He is among a group of students and instructors from DLI who traveled to Fort Irwin in the Mojave Desert this week to provide a crash course in local culture to troops training for deployment to the Middle East.
"When you talk, stand close," he says. "For Americans, there must be a space. Not Iraqis. If he's standing, you stand. When you sit, never cross your legs or show the bottoms of your feet." Those are insulting gestures in the Arab world.
Gattas picks "volunteers" to demonstrate the proper way to shake hands and how to address a man — if he's older than 60, he's hadji. A young man is ustadh, or "mister." An elderly woman is hajiyeh. If you must address a woman, get a woman soldier when possible. Male Iraqis will shake hands, touch their hearts as a gesture of sincerity, hug and air-kiss one another's cheeks. Gattas grabs a trooper to demonstrate. "Relax," he says. "This is not San Francisco!" Gattas has his audience chanting responses. "Sukran!" "Thank you!" An important word, he says, in a land where people enjoy Advertisement giving and receiving gifts, sharing food and drink, as part of a deep cultural hospitality. Refusal of such offers is an insult. An Arab indicates refusal of social contact by holding his hand up, palm out, head back, eyebrows raised.
"If they offer you tea or coffee, take some. Use the right hand, only the right hand. The left hand has another duty," he says. "Always eat or drink something." It isn't uncommon for soldiers to be offered a feast, for a sheep or a goat to be killed and roasted, Gattas says. "It is very bad to say 'no'" when asked to sit down and join in. Rifles abound in Iraq, he says.
Just about every family has at least one for protection, and it is also common to use weapons for joy-shooting at graduations, weddings and other ceremonies. Unfortunately, this custom is sometimes misunderstood — with fatal results — by troops who think they've come under fire. "Before you take action," Gattas says, "make sure whether it's a celebration or a fight.
Outside Gattas' classroom, Army Sgt. Gloria Crossett, a 2003 Arabic language graduate of DLI and a veteran of one tour in Iraq, said she is glad to get some refresher training on the culture. Her last tour was in a Turkman area of Iraq, where she served with a military intelligence unit processing and interrogating detainees. The people spoke Turkmani, which is related to Arabic. "Speaking helped," she says. "I felt very prepared from DLI." Her lessons at the language school were taught in standard modern Arabic, which isn't like Iraqi Arabic, Crossett says. "It's like talking to a Cockney if you're from southern Louisiana. There's a learning curve, but you get good," she says.
In a mock-up of an Iraqi school principal's office, Salem Al Butruseh, a Jordanian-American DLI instructor clad in traditional ghutra (head scarf) and dishdashah (gown), discusses the needs of his school with an Army lieutenant, aided by a female Army specialist who translates from English to Arabic. At Al Butruseh's side, a woman in traditional abaya (long dress) and hejab (head scarf) translates from Arabic to English. Both translators are students at DLI who are honing their field skills while helping train the Iraq-bound 4th Infantry. All are playing out a scenario in which the soldiers are responding to a bombing at the school. The lieutenant is tasked with enlisting the principal's cooperation in giving a description of the suspected attackers, and the principal, in turn, seeks American aid to repair the damage and renovate the school.
The trick to these negotiations is not to make promises that can't be kept, said Army spokesman John Wagstaffe. "It's a flaw to break a promise to an Iraqi," says Wagstaffe. "It means you can't be trusted." No lieutenant has the authority to promise to build a water system for a village, he says. That's for the higher-ups. Other scenarios include dealings involving water, electricity, public safety, jobs and reconstruction, between higher-ranking U.S. officers and Iraqi officials. Lieutenants talk to school principals, captains to town mayors and lieutenant colonels to provincial governors. Until the invasion of Iraq was launched in 2003, Wagstaffe said, training at Fort Irwin was "force-on-force." Now the emphasis is on "non-kinetic" operations, "winning hearts and minds — something Americans have never been terribly good at. We kill well." Success by unit commanders being trained now is measured by how many of Fort Irwin's mock Arab villages, staffed by 250 Iraqi-American volunteers, are won over to the American and coalition forces side, he says. "Towns start out 'gray,' then move to 'white' — pro-American — or 'black' — pro-insurgent," he says.
One U.S. officer who served a tour in Iraq set a record by personally buying and bringing a large quantity of tea and presenting it to the village assigned to his unit as a gift. "He was way ahead of the game," Wagstaffe says.

I saw this and was wondering why is Rep. Rangel introducing a tax relief bill? I looked over the first part of it and it made sense. Then I found the part about increasing the estimated taxes on "certain corporations" from 100.25% to 126.75%!
This bill punishes achievement, just like the IRS Early Retirement Penalty, which Rep. Rangel also supports. It will help to drive "certain corporations" from our country to someplace where they can do business without being punished by the IRS.
It's not amazing this can be introduced and passed in two (2) days with zero co-sponsors since everyone is focused on unconstitutional government health care. Meanwhile, the FairTax bill (HR 25), which has numerous co-sponsors and would give all corporations incentive to do business in the USA and simplify our taxes as citizens, sits idle.
Then Senators who oppose this bill are attacking the middle class americans like myself who work in the construction industry. They want to piss and bitch and moan about boo hoo whos gonna pay for our unemployment.? Hmm i am gonna guess we are going to pay for it our selves, with the govts ability to throw trillions of dollars to banks, automakers supervising boards(not the workers), and yet they can not help out its own citizens. I know that with out the middle class construction workers NOBODY would have a car to drive built by americans, on roads that are built by american workers, to buildings and/or work built by american workers. Yet the senators bitch and moan wondering about taxes and shit. Set your political bickering aside step the f- up and take care of the people who put your fat asses in office. Otherwise we will getyou the hell out its simple.
Both of the senators from my state are voting yea for this. I would hope everyone posting here is writing their senators a nice email to voice their opinion. We dont have alot of campaign $ to give but we can give them a good piece of our mind, the more the better. I doubt they read this site but I know at least their aids read the emails. One could only hope it gets passed on.
You're looking at this all wrong. Extending unemployment benefits extends the rate of unemployment which delays our recovery, which costs our children and grandchildren dearly in terms of debt service (INTEREST on our $14Trillion national debt). Additionally, this bill is not just about unemployment benefits. It an attack on the middle class. For example, there's a provision in this bill that mandates that every penny of all income coming to a small services business (less that 4 service people) have to pay unemployment tax (on every penny) as well as FICA that everyone else has to pay. We are already paying the 7.5% FICA on every penny. But to have to pay and additional 7.5% on every penny of income when you're the ONLY employee, is so completely ridiculous and will tremendously hurt small business and the middle class.

Are you blind? Where was the out cry about this war GW put us in trillions a year, money we don't have. Where was the out cry of the bail out of banks, wall street, and car makers. Yes there are those people who are on unemployment who are not looking for a job just sitting a collecting money but what about the people who have looked and found nothing. My job closed 6 months ago, they didn't give us a warning at all the $1200 a month I get from unemployment is not enough to survive on even with an additional $400 a month for child support.
My question is are you and the gop gonno put me and my family up in your homes if i get evicted.
The problem with politicans and politics in general is that they stick with thier party instead of the good of the people. Bipartisan does not exist they never come together and agree on anything, and you people put this people to represent who, sure not the lower or working class
GW provided more unemployment extensions then oboma has, he extended benefits every time the national rate went over 6.5% and kept extending as long as the rate stayed over 6.5%. So on this issue GW would be a god send for us.
The 6.5% threshhold for keeping extending unemployment benefits is the one Bush policy that I wish would have carried over to the Oboma administration
You really need to learn that the Prisident niether GW or Obama has very much to do with any bill untill it has been passed through Congress. And GW was no friend to the American People.
Under Democratic control in 2001, the 2009-2012 budget was showing an annual $850B surplus. The Republican White House/Congress turned that into a $1.2B deficit for each of those years – which is about a $2T swing. So don't even come in here and post that Dems just spend money without regard for the impact.
2001 vs 2012
The U.S. budget situation has deteriorated significantly since 2001, when the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) forecast average annual surpluses of approximately $850 billion from 2009-2012. The average deficit forecast in each of those years is now approximately $1,215 billion. The New York Times analyzed this roughly $2 trillion "swing," separating the causes into four major categories along with their share:
Recessions or the business cycle (37%);
Policies enacted by President Bush (33%);
Policies enacted by President Bush and supported or extended by President Obama (20%);
New policies from President Obama (10%). -
I'm soooo sick of hearing who's fault it is… The fact is, this country is in turmoil. Right now, who gives a chit who's fault it is? It's broken… so instead of pointing fingers… FIX IT. Everyone is so busy wasting time placing blame when all that energy could be put into doing something about it! It reminds me of a group of people standing in a circle over a dying man. Instead of giving this man CPR, they're pointing fingers at who took his breath away. By the time they stop their bullheaded BS, the man is dead.
I agree with you loganstorm. Does it really matter at this point who is at fault? Republicans & Democrats who have been in control over the years are to "blame". We're all f'ing Americans and should be helping our own. I know voting in November is important, but I don't know how we will all be contacted on where to vote if we don't have a HOME address. Will they send our mail "under the bridge" where we'll all be huddling? Let's quit bitchin' about who is at fault (like our government does) and continue to email, call and ask for help. That is what we can do again and again and agin – so do it!
i was in the army reserve for 8 years. i am proud to be an american. i have to believe that the greatest country in the world will not leave us out to dry. it certainlly feels that way right now, but i have to have faithy. if not, i don't know what it have.
The Progressive playbook (including both parties) is to divide and conquer. If the people are constantly arguing about who's at fault, the ruling class can continue to shove chit down our collective throats until we finally choke. It's up to us to see the bigger picture and do something about it! Vote out anyone and everyone who hasn't convinced you that spending and taxes MUST be cut dramatically and immediately!
This is the most tired argument of all! GW also inherited a failing economy and 9/11 pushed it off the cliff. Remember when Clinton was still in office they were accusing the newly elected but not sitting president GW for "talking down the economy?!" I am tired of hearing how Clinton created all of these surpluses YOU PEOPLE forget historical fact, it was the mid-term election and the newly elected house leader Newt Gingrich who mastered the "contract with America," that Bill Clinton kicked and scratched from even being implemented, remember he allowed the federal government to be closed for 8 days trying to weild his power and he got clobbered for it, then the contract with America was inacted and the measures did give us the largest surpluses in recent history!
WOW! Where are you getting your "facts" from. Because I can tell you that they are quite skewed, and altogether wrong.
President Obama has QUADRUPLED our deficit in just one year of office! Wake up. Sure – Bush spent WAY too much!! But how does that absolve Obama from spending way too much x's 32??
Well said…The recent commments concern me, I wish people would understand the contents of a bill before they point fingers. The reality is both Dems and Repubs should take responsability for there actions. This bill was earmarked to help the unemployed, but was packed with dem pet projects totaling billions of dollars. Very early on Reid had the option to strip it out but refused, he was also asked to use stimulus money and refused again. Even the press release on this website does not address the facts, but instead points fingers. People need to make informed opinions based on facts, not on media peception or opinions. We have a new president that needs to take responsability for this country.
You have got to be kidding me…I don't care if you are a Republican or a Democrat,you have to remember that our economy was much better off when Clinton was in office…I am shocked that there is anyone out there that would even entertain that thought.When Clinton was president we all had jobs,were taking vacations,celebrating the holidays…and the world was a much kinder and gentler place.To all my fellow my americans who may be without food,shelter,transportation…Please know that may prayers are with you and I will continue to pray that the fat cats get their head out of their ass…GOD BLESS AMERICA
Clinton was a tool,
If you are looking at the jobless rate for the 8 years Clinton was in office it was 5.2% it was also the same for George jr 5.2%, who was also a tool.
Remember NAFTA was put into law in 1994 which fostered one of the largest movements of componant and drug manufactures to set up shop across the border for cheaper labor and no tariffs. I spent the past 25 years overseeing us manufacturing operations in forign countries mainly during the Clinton years, and most likely would still have a job if it was not for my decision to not support that agenda. My decision was to support "Made in the USA" which ultimatly put me out of a job. Be warned dem or repub is in the pocket of big business this I am sure of, just look at AIG. -
You are an ignorant dip. I trust you never use or need any assistance from OUR government. Must be nice to have your husband work and sit at home doing house work. And probably not doing that well. These are extreme times we're in, not as if this was 5 or years ago. are you blind!!!! These people are out of work due to no fault of their own.
Do the MATH idiot…
For every $1.00 provided businesses makes money. The government receives their state and local tax.. it was determined that $1.90 comes back into the economy. Do you really think people are saving that measly $300 per week. Yeah getting rich of that. It contributes to the economy, guess what your local stores WONT get anything now. Great job!!! -
Corporate tax rates are already much lower than they are for individuals. I read recently that corporations pay, on average, 12%. Corporations have a ridiculously good deal in this country. Taxes are not about "punishment," they're about contributing to public infrastructure and public amenities, and corporations are not paying even a fraction of their fair share at this dismal point in our history. The really sad thing is that, as a country, we've been here before, where private interests clobbered public good, but I guess we have to learn this lesson yet again. I've already learned it, so can I get an exemption, pretend that I'm not in this with everybody else, as the conservatives seem to want to do?
Where the help for the Long-term Unemployed who have exhausted Tier 3 already and Tier 4 by the end of March .. This Bill only extends the deadline ..
I was under the impression that this bill extends benefits to those who will soon exhaust tier 4 benefits to the end of 2010.
Nope, just extends the deadlines.
Bringing over this article regarding how the press is getting info regarding the recent extension bill wrong…
But what really caught my eye was this part…
UPDATE (10:30 a.m. CT): There have been a number of questions about why the various politicians continue to refer to the provisions in the jobs bill as an "unemployment extension." I think there are several key reasons. Unlike the Senate bill, the House version of the bill apparently includes additional weeks of benefits for those who have exhausted the current coverage. It's not clear to anyone I've spoken to how that will be resolved with the Senate version.
New website and forum for the long-termers who are ending Tier 4…
CNN/HLN just had a piece on about people who are cheating on unemployment and that Sen. Byh, I think, opposes the passage of what the Senate just approved. There are cheaters in every system including the very people who run this country from Washington. Until each and every one of them is honest, straightforward and does NOTHING wrong then I don't want to hear a damn word about anyone else. The vast majority of the unemployed are honest people who look for work regularly and can prove that.
I don't see any of the crooks in Washington being denied paychecks, benefits or anything else even when they get caught and that seems to be a pretty regulat thing with the fat daddies. They are playing with out lives, giving money to foreign countries, foreigners in this country and approving piddly bills that are really stupid and unnecessary. Take the money from NASA and take care of Real Americans out of work. We don't need to be in space and have no business there. Keep that money and the exorbitant paychecks to play in space right here on terra firma and we'll all benefit.

Jan 8, 2013Best mod ever made. It's not just a mod. It's a different game. I recommend playing HL1 first because this one does not tell the story as good as the first one did. Nostalgia is so big part of this game.
Mar 10, 2013
Dec 6, 2012I always wished for another Half-life installment. Half-life is one of the most legendary games I have ever played. I confess that was disappointed that this game didn't continue the story, but I was incredibly happy when I found out that this game hadn't altered any Half-life gameplay. Thank you, Valve. You have made yet another masterpiece.
Jan 2, 2013
Apr 1, 2013How to make a better game out of a game that was already great. Well, just play Black Mesa an see for yourself how that can be possible. It's an improvment in every way.
Mar 1, 2014
Jan 13, 2014Black Mesa basically, improved the original Half Life. Though it's not completely done, it still improved the graphics using the source engine. I would give a 10 to the developers.
Jan 3, 2014This is an excellent remake, it has new voice acting and a new soundtrack which fit perfectly with the original game. The plans to remake the latter stages of the game will be interesting to see but since there is no info on that I cannot comment about it, the same goes for the upcoming multiplayer.

Sep 22, 2012Truly amazing re-work. It turned out to be a lot better than I expected to. I'm also glad that Valve approved Greenlight for this mod, we need more worthy mods on Steam than crap like Revelations 2012 which is an Alpha stage non-free mod...
Sep 29, 2012I can't tell fairly enough how awesome is this game, and I say game not mod, because this game surpass its original by lightyears. Perfect. .
Sep 22, 2012I own the complete Half-Life series and I am a huge fan and I must say that I am impressed with what the team did with this re-make. Awesome Mod !! I would recommend this Mod to anyone. This Mod has my 10 out of 10.

Jul 3, 2013Taking into account that the game is free, you can say that this is a masterpiece from the team of fan developers. there were some flaws in artificial intelligence, but again, the game is free. Done a lot of work on the subject, it became more interesting, without disturbing the original. The music in the game is good. Graphics to the limit game engine in 2006, very good.

Oct 1, 2012Incredible Remake! Can't believe this is for free, i'd even pay a Full Price for this Masterpiece. There is absolutely nothing they could have done better. By far the best fps i've played in a dam' long time.
Sep 24, 2012black mesa is probably the best halflife 1 remake possible. there's clearly been a lot of attention to details, and the atmosphere is very similar to the original - in my eyes an important trait for a remake of any game. i was expecting much from black mesa, after all these years of waiting, but it delivered, at least for me!
Sep 23, 2012So much waiting, and now after 8 long years im completly overwhelmed by Black Mesa. It's really stupid to call this masterpiece a "modification" for HL2. It's f***** more than that! Its deserves to be an absolutely great remake of legendary Half Life. Many thanks for creators of this new,fine version, whoever u are!
Sep 25, 2012
Oct 29, 2012Fantastic remake of one of the greatest games of all time. It's not perfect; graphics look like 2007/2008 vintage, the crouch jumping is annoying, and the framerate takes some hits here and there. But the polish and attention to detail, and the classic nostalgic gameplay, make this one of my favorite games of 2012. Must play.

May 15, 2013
Oct 14, 2013What do you get when you mix one of the greatest FPS ever made and a fresh new engine Black Mesa. This mod is truly excellent, as a fan of Half-Life, playing the story with the HL2 graphics was very pleasant, you feel like playing a new game... but with familiar sensations, very cool.
Everyone who enjoyed the original should give this mod a try, you won't be disappointed -
Dec 6, 2013
Sep 30, 2012This game is fantastic. Perfect remake made by gamers for gamers with passion and devotion to the finest details. I could not have asked for more then this.
Oct 8, 2012If a mod actually receives reviews from critics then you know its going to be good. This mod truly brings Half life 1 back in the best way possible.
Best mod ever!
Period. -
Oct 2, 2012
Sep 28, 2012Probably the best mod out there. Free to play and entirely worth your time. Half life fans new and old should thoroughly enjoy this game, as well as folks who haven't tried the series before.
If you enjoy first person shooters and games with a gripping plot; you won't want to miss this game -
Nov 5, 2012It is the same game that it was when it was released a hundred years ago, but this time with shiny new graphics and better audio. It was a fun game in the original and while my memories of the original were very fond, it is like watching a movie you originally watched on VHS, on BlueRay. Looks better but feels the same. Good work on the mod, but it is essentially the same as it always was.
Sep 29, 2012This is a great addition to the HL community, HOWEVER, I did not read into how far the game had been converted and was thoroughly disappointed where it ended. For those who have played the original, be prepared for it to end "a bit short." For those who have never played the original HL have fun!

Nov 26, 2012A perfect remake. Action packed survival, and I really enjoyed how the secrets of black mesa are brought to life with voice acting and in-game whiteboards. Playing this game after so many years, some of the levels seem small, especially if you know what's coming. Other than that, a fantastic remake, and it's free!
Oct 24, 2012
Oct 26, 2012the one of the greatest remakes of one of the greatest games of all time. This is Half-Life, but better. If you have never played Half-Life and wonder what all the fuss was all about, this is a great opportunity to try it out.... for free!
Jun 3, 2013
Dec 13, 2012What to say, its simply a free verion of half life source with changed name. Outdated graphics, and the story is the same as hl1. The reason i gave it a 5 was that the game was actually fun.
Oct 8, 2013i loved this game to the max just as good as the original the only problem is well it ends where BLACK MESA ends no XEN but still an incredible experience i would totally have paid for this
Apr 7, 2013just play it- you'll love it. And it is free, so yay! I played the original HL1 back in the days and revisiting it with Black Mesa was a great experience.
Apr 30, 2013Anyone who just 'doesn't get it' is from the new generation of gamers and wasn't there in the beginning (1998) when Half Life changed the industry. This MOD is a gem a love letter to the Half Life series and it's free!! CrazyGoat's review is spot-on that the amount of dedication by the MOD's creators is unsurpassed.

Nov 17, 2013Black Mesa is a great, very polished and totally free remake of the classic Half Life. What ask for more? If you loved the original, you MUST play this game. VIRTUALINN.IT
Mar 5, 2014Sorry, but this game has bugs that makes this game unplayable. Somehow in the middle of the game all of my weapons disappeared except crowbar and my pistol. After dying everything was gone. If you figure to get a weapon however; while shooting the game will close itself.
Feb 15, 2013
Dec 16, 2012The only problem for me, was the frame rate issues at moments.
The game is wonderful and traveled me back in time when I was first playing half life 1 in an ancient celeron 300 and a diamond stealth 3... It also had a lot of changes here and there to make it more modern than the original, without destroying the felling. -

Mar 11, 2014Simply one of the best tributes to anything ever... This is the Half Life: Source we should have gotten. Great graphics for a 10 year old engine, fantastic gameplay, great story. And just near perfect all round in my opinion, I hope Valve hires these people to make Half Life 3, that is how good they did in my opinion.
Mar 9, 2013An almost perfect remake of an almost perfect game. It was great to play the good old Half Life again with some sweet new HD graphics and some awesome new music. I'd recommend this game not only to the ones that played the old Half Life, but also to other gamers that enjoy a good story and some awesome first-person shooter action.
Feb 19, 2013
Nov 10, 2012Surprisingly this project did not turn into Vaporware. This is by far the best remake of a game I've ever played, down to the very last detail of that lonely vulnerable feel you got when you first fired up Half Life years ago. I loved every minute of this FREE game that puts this year's triple A titles to shame.
Dec 4, 2012Really fun playing an old classic. It is nice to have something half-life related since HL3 or HL2 ep3 is no ware to be seen. Good job at an amazing remake.
Nov 28, 2012I have so many nice memories about the good old Half-Life time. Its so many yeats ago, that i have played Half Life and i love this mod with improved Graphics. Black Mesa makes fun and is for free! What else should i say?

May 22, 2014El nuevo sistema de manchas en las armas y el motor source hicieron un buen trabajo. Nos dieron un mejor punto de vista al accidente de black mesa. AQUÍ VIENEN LAS DESVENTAJAS, los BUGS... Pero aun así le daría un 9.8
May 23, 2014
Mar 1, 2015Whether you already played Half Life or not, Black Mesa is worth a try, excellent level design based on HL but way bigger and detailed (because it uses a more modern engine), excellent graphics, sounds, voice and levels that makes it a very professionally made game. It's a very good way to replay Half-Life with updated visuals and resembling more Half-Life 2.
Waiting for the Xen part! -
Sep 16, 2014I very polished and refined experience. This remake of Half-life is superb in every way. Despite not having xen, Black Mesa has familiar maps and weapons from the original Half-life but if a few tweaks to balance out the gameplay.
Dec 6, 2014
Nov 9, 2014Absolutely fantastic remake of an incredible game. I recommend downloading it from Desura instead of other websites. Controls are spot on, visuals are great, and the sound is better than ever. It's free, get it now!
Mar 15, 2015I wasn't able to actually finish it, as I was stuck at the last chapter due to game breaking bug. Otherwise it is very enjoyable old school FPS, which can be rough around the edges at times.
Sep 30, 2012
Nov 6, 2012We should applaud an excellent work made for free by fans of the original game.
Oct 24, 2012A free game that lets you relive Half-Life without having to stomach outdated visuals. Essential to every gamer. [12/2012, p.69]
Oct 24, 2012A superlative remake of one of the most important games ever made. [Dec 2012, p.89]

OK, friends of mine, it is now time for me to get very serious! My daughter goes back to public school on Monday...PTL!!! For the past 2 years, I have thought that I wanted to be in Clinical Research, but was too busy fighting a custody battle to focus. Now it is over and he is out of the picture, I find myself unmotivated. My aunt today suggested forensics, which was what I wanted to do when I first went back to college. Not so interested in the overwhelming Chemistry classes required at my age. Was fun in my 20s.... I was browsing about and I saw an online course for Homeland Security; now there is a recession proof job! Plus, I have always made a good P.I. :) Can anyone out there show me the way to a career in either Homeland Security or even something cyber-based? Bless you!
Good day to you I hope you had a great one

New Comics Day 9.11.13 | |
Written by Jen Vaughn | Filed under Shimura Takako, Jaime Hernandez, Gilbert Hernandez, Blake Bell, Bill Everett | 10 Sep 2013 4:09 PM |
This week's comic shop shipment is slated to include the following new titles. Read on to see what comics-blog commentators and web-savvy comic shops are saying about them (more to be added as they appear), check out our previews at the links, and contact your local shop to confirm availability.
Love and Rockets: The Covers
by Gilbert, Jaime, and Mario Hernandez
144-page full-color 10.25" x 13.25" hardcover • $35.00
"As you might expect, Love And Rockets: The Covers is very attractive, very well-put together, and the fact that the production values on display flatter the work inside gives you an idea of just how far ahead of the curve the Hernandez Brothers could work at times." -Tom Spurgeon, Comics Reporter
"Love and Rockets #1 is marvelous. I hope one day to attain the level of the cover drawing myself... it is a perfect drawing." - Moebius, 1982
Wandering Son (Hourou Musuko / 放浪息子) Vol. 5
by Shimura Takako
228-page black & white (with some color) 7" x 9.5" hardcover • $24.99
"...what continues to make Wandering Son a fantastic read is the frankness it presents developmental sexual identity...Few comics will challenge you like Wandering Son. It covers a topic not widely written about or discussed, and does so in a tactful, warm, embracing manner." -Nick Rowe, Read Comic Books
"While most manga about cross-dressing involve lots of shrieking and embarrassment, Wandering Son takes a quieter, more introspective approach.... It's a very sweet manga with realistic characters - no dead parents or crazy teachers, just ordinary, loving families and supportive friends. This manga is a beautifully produced, hardcover book, and... it's worth every penny." - Brigid Alverson, MTV Geek
Heroic Tales: The Bill Everett Archives Vol. 2
by Bill Everett; edited by Blake Bell
248-page full-color 7.25" x 10" hardcover • $39.99
"For fans of comics from the dawn of the comic book era, this book is an indispensable gift from Blake Bell and Fantagraphics." - Jason Sacks, Comics Bulletin
"What's exciting for me about this book is watching Everett develop as an artist and storyteller and figure out the medium in relatively rapid fashion.... What you see here are the glimmers of an artist struggling to comprehend the potential of this relatively new medium [and] how he can push it to match his own interests." - Chris Mautner, Robot 6

In 2001 local chapters of the National Wild Turkey Federation planted 6,000 Sargent crabapple trees with shelters through Operation Appleseed. This program focuses on the establishment of crabapple orchards for fall and winter food sources for turkeys and other wildlife. This program is important in the Northeast as the conversion of small farms to woodlands has caused a reduction in this type of habitat. Trees were planted in Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts, Maryland, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and West Virginia. Other partners for this project included Asplundh and Central Vermont Public Service.
This project was supported by our corporate partner, the Alcoa Foundation.

US Sports Camps are pleased to partner with Cal Head Men's Basketball Coach, Cuonzo Martin, and his staff to offer the Nike Cal Basketball Camp from June 15-18, 2015. Camp is designed for young players from all over the Bay Area that are looking to develop their skills and gain exposure to one of the premier NCAA basketball programs in the country.
Camp will take place at Cal Berkeley's Recreational Sports Facility June 15-18, 2015.
"Cuonzo brings a strong track record of success on the court, in the classroom and in the community," said Barbour. "He is known as and is committed to developing his student-athletes both as basketball players and as men. He has been a leader and a winner everywhere he has been. We are excited to have Coach Martin join our Golden Bears athletic family and look forward to much success during his tenure."
Martin, who guided Tennessee the past three years, including a spot in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament in March, and previously led the program at Missouri State for three seasons, has been tabbed to lead the Golden Bears following an extensive national search. He will oversee a young Cal program that welcomes back three starters and five of its top-seven scorers from a 21-win campaign in 2013-14.
Martin owns a career record of 124-82, winning more than 60 percent of his games as a head coach. The mentor has guided his teams to the postseason each of the last five years, averaged more than 20 victories over six seasons, and directed his teams to a greater win total than the previous year at each of his two coaching stops.
"I am pleased to be here and honored to have the opportunity to lead the University of California's men's basketball program," Martin said. "The conditions for success at Cal are right and I believe we can compete at the highest level and continue the success here in Berkeley. Sandy Barbour's reputation nationally is outstanding and having the opportunity to work with her and to coach at Cal is one that I am very excited about. This is an incredible academic and athletic institution and I am proud to now be a part of it as well as the Pac-12 Conference."
The 42-year-old Martin, a native of East St. Louis, Ill., has served the game of basketball for more than two decades, beginning with a standout four-year playing career at Purdue University. He has played and coached alongside some of the most highly-regarded mentors in the game, including Hall of Fame Coach Gene Keady. Martin is a member of a distinguished group of successful college basketball coaches to serve under Keady, along with Matt Painter (Purdue), Bruce Weber (Illinois and Kansas State), Steve Lavin (UCLA and St. John's) and Kevin Stallings (Vanderbilt).
"Identifying the right head coach for our men's basketball team was a high priority for us, and warranted a significant investment of time and effort," stated Chancellor Nicholas Dirks. "Together with Athletic Director, Sandy Barbour, we spoke with a large number of highly qualified candidates and carefully evaluated their personal and professional attributes. I am confident that in Cuonzo Martin we have found an exceptional coach and educator, with a proven ability to support the athletic and academic success of his student athletes. I know that he will be a great fit for our program and our campus."
As the head coach at Tennessee this past season, Martin led the Volunteers to the Sweet 16 and a national ranking of 23rd in the final USA Today coaches poll. With a 24-13 final record, Tennessee matched its fourth-best win total in school history and recorded the most victories since the 2009-10 campaign. After earning a berth in the NCAA's First Four, the Martin-led Volunteers captured victories over Iowa, Massachusetts and Mercer to equal the most wins in one NCAA Tournament in program history.
Over his three seasons at Tennessee, Martin posted a 63-41 mark, taking the Vols to the postseason all three years. They finished in the top-five of the powerful SEC in each of Martin's three seasons, including a tie for second in his first campaign after the squad was predicted to place 11th in the conference's preseason poll. UT earned a berth in the National Invitation Tournament his first two years, before garnering an NCAA Tournament selection this past season. Under Martin's tutelage, forward Jarnell Stokes was a two-time first-team All-SEC selection and was one of just three individuals in the six power conferences this season to average a double-double. Stokes led the SEC and ranked seventh nationally in rebounding at 10.6 rpg., while also averaging 15.1 ppg.
Predicated on tenacity and defense, Martin's 2013-14 Tennessee squad limited opponents to just 61.7 ppg., the lowest in the SEC and second-lowest total at UT since 1969. The Vols ranked 18th nationally in total defense this past year.
Prior to taking over at Tennessee, Martin served as head coach at Missouri State for three years where he built a record of 61-41 with win totals of 24 and 26 his final two seasons. He led the Bears to the CollegeInsider.com Tournament title in 2010. In 2010-11, Martin guided Missouri State to its first-ever regular-season Missouri Valley Conference championship and along the way became the program's first-ever MVC Coach of the Year. He was the 2011 recipient of the Ben Jobe National Coach of the Year Award, presented annually to the top minority head coach in Division I men's basketball.
Martin began his coaching career serving as an assist on the staff at West Lafayette High School in Indiana. His first stint as a collegiate coach came at Purdue where he joined the staff for the 2000-01 season under Keady, his college coach. He remained on staff with current Purdue head coach Matt Painter and was elevated to associate head coach for the 2007-08 season before being hired as head coach at Missouri State the next year. During his eight-year tenure at Purdue, Martin mentored several all-conference standouts, including All-American and current Minnesota Timberwolves forward Robbie Hummel.
Martin also has experience as a coach with USA Basketball, serving on the staff for the USA Junior National Team at the 2011 FISU World University Games in Shenzhen, China.
As a player, Martin was a first-team All-Big Ten selection in 1995 at Purdue when he averaged 18.4 ppg and sank 91 three-pointers. He graduated in 1995 as one of the program's all-time leaders in three-pointers (179) and one of the Boilermakers' career scoring leaders (1,666). Playing under Keady and alongside All-American Glenn Robinson, Martin led Purdue to a pair of Big Ten titles and to a 90-37 record over four years. The Boilermakers went to the postseason each season with Martin, reaching the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament as a junior in 1994.
Following his stellar collegiate playing career, Martin was selected by the Atlanta Hawks with the 57th overall pick of the 1995 NBA Draft. He played professionally for four years with the Hawks, Milwaukee Bucks and Vancouver Grizzlies. In 1997, Martin was the leading scorer for Felize Scandone in Italy.
Martin returned to his alma mater where he earned his bachelor's degree in restaurant, hotel, institutional and tourism management from Purdue in 2000. He and his wife, Roberta, have two sons, Joshua and Chase, and a daughter, Addison.
Boasting more than a decade of Division I coaching experience, Webster was appointed California's associate head coach on April 30, 2014. He has had success throughout his career, with five NCAA Tournament berths and one Final Four appearance as a coach. In 2009, HoopScoopOnline.com ranked Webster as one of the top 50 assistant coaches in the nation.
Following just one season as an assistant coach, Webster was elevated to Tennessee's associate head coach prior to the 2012-13 season. He has helped guide Tennessee to postseason berths each of his three years on the coaching staff in Knoxville, including an appearance in the Sweet 16 last season. Webster played an important role in the development of Tennessee standout shooting guard Jordan McRae, who finished his career among UT's career leaders in scoring (16th, 1,521 points), three-point field goals (T-7th, 179) and blocks (13th, 97). A two-time First Team All-SEC selection, McRae received 2013 SEC Player of the Year laurels by ESPN's Jay Bilas and Jimmy Dykes and CBS Sports' Seth Davis.
Prior to joining Cuonzo Martin at Tennessee, Webster spent the 2010-11 campaign as an assistant at Nebraska and was on the staff at DePaul for the 2009-10 season where he was appointed the program's interim head coach in January of 2010. Prior to that, he served as an assistant coach at Kentucky for two seasons as the Wildcats earned postseason berths in 2008 and 2009. At Kentucky, he played a role in the development of Jodie Meeks, who recently completed his fifth season in the NBA and second with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Webster, who played collegiately at Wisconsin, has also coached at Illinois, Purdue and Ball State at the Division I level. As a member of Bruce Weber's staff at Illinois for three seasons, the Fighting Illini earned an NCAA Tournament berth each year. The 2005 Illinois squad, which featured five eventual NBA players including three-time All-Star Deron Williams, tied the NCAA record for wins in a season with a 37-2 mark and reached the Final Four where the Fighting Illini dropped a 75-70 decision to North Carolina in the national title game.
During his days at Purdue, Webster was an assistant along with Martin under Hall of Fame head coach Gene Keady where the Boilermakers reached the postseason in his one year on the staff in West Lafayette, Ind.
He began his coaching career at Division III Wisconsin-Parkside in 1998 before a three-year stint on the coaching staff at Ball State.
A native of Harvey, Ill., Webster was an All-State point guard at Thornton High School where he was named the sixth-best point guard in Chicago scholastic history in 1992. He went on to earn three varsity letters at Wisconsin (1992-94), posting 1,264 points and a school-record 501 assists with the Badgers. A three-time All-Big Ten selection, Webster also owns the school career record for three-point percentage (.490) and is one of Wisconsin's all-time leaders in steals with 183 in his career in Madison. His 36 points against Southeast Missouri State in November of 1991 is the 10th-most in a single game in Wisconsin history.
Webster earned his bachelor's degree from Wisconsin in 1995 and is married to the former Shenetta Richardson.
Jon Harris, who has served on Cuonzo Martin's coaching staff each of the last six years at both Missouri State and Tennessee, joined the California staff as an assistant coach on April 30, 2014. A native of Edwardsville, Ill., Harris was a standout on the hardwood at Marquette University before entering the coaching ranks.
In three seasons with the Vols, Harris oversaw the development of one of the top front courts in the Southeastern Conference. Under his tutelage, Jarnell Stokes and Jeronne Maymon earned All-SEC honors and left Tennessee among the program's all-time rebounding leaders. Stokes was one of three individuals in the six power conferences to average a double-double (15.1 ppg, 10.6 rpg.) in 2013-14. Stokes finished his three-year Tennessee career ranked fourth in school history in career double-doubles (40) and eighth in career rebounds (836).
During Harris' time in Knoxville, the Vols ranked near the top of the SEC in defensive rebounding and rebounding margin.
Harris joined Martin at Missouri State following a five-year stint on the coaching staff at Wisconsin-Green Bay under head coach Tod Kowalczyk. During Harris' time on the staff at Missouri State, the Bears averaged more than 20 victories and captured the program's first-ever Missouri Valley Conference regular-season championship. MSU improved from 11 wins in the 2008-09 campaign to a 24-12 record and the CollegeInsider.com postseason tournament title in 2009-10.
In Harris' first season as a collegiate coach, he served on the staff at his alma mater, Marquette. The Golden Eagles finished 27-6 and reached the Final Four in his one season on the coaching staff in 2002-03.
Harris was a two-year captain as a student-athlete at Marquette, playing four seasons under head coach Tom Crean from 1998-2002. He completed his collegiate career as one of the top rebounders in the history of Conference USA with 494 career rebounds. As a senior during the 2001-02 season, Harris and teammate Dwyane Wade led the Golden Eagles to a 26-7 overall record, an NCAA Tournament berth, and a No. 9 ranking in the final Associate Press national poll. He received his bachelor's degree in Psychology from Marquette in 2002.
The 1998 St. Louis Post-Dispatch High School Player of the Year, Harris was also a USA Today honorable mention All-America selection as a senior at Edwardsville High School.
Harris and his wife Heidi, an all-conference player for the Marquette women's basketball team from 1998-2001, have two daughters (Hailey and Leah) and a son (Jaxson).
Yanni Hufnagel enters his first season as an assistant coach with the Golden Bears in 2014-15.
Hufnagel comes to Cal following a season at Vanderbilt where he served as an assistant coach under Kevin Stallings, landing a nationally-ranked freshman class as the Commodores' recruiting coordinator.
"Yanni's strong passion for the game has correlated to success wherever he has been," Martin said. "We share the same goal in developing champions on the basketball court, in the class room and in the community. I am thrilled for the opportunity to have Yanni join the staff here at Cal."
Prior to his time in Nashville, Hufnagel served four seasons as an assistant coach at Harvard where he helped lead the Crimson to the postseason each year. During his four seasons in Boston, Harvard posted at least 20 wins each season, recorded a 90-30 four-year mark, and captured three-consecutive Ivy League titles. He helped lead Harvard to its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1946 in 2012. The 2013 Harvard squad advanced to the third round of the NCAA Tournament when the 14th-seeded Crimson upended third-seeded New Mexico for the program's first-ever postseason victory.
In Hufnagel's third season at Harvard, the Crimson posted a school-record 26 victories in 2012, earning the program's first-ever national ranking. The Crimson ascended as high as No. 21 in the ESPN/USA Today Coaches poll and No. 22 in the Associated Press poll.
Hufnagel served as Harvard's recruiting coordinator where he was lauded for bringing in several highly-rated recruiting classes. CBS Sports recognized Hufnagel as "one of the most relentless and energetic recruiters in the game," in their 2012-13 College Basketball Preview, while naming him one of their nine "Dream Team" assistant coaches in college basketball.
He was also noted for the development of the Crimson's guards into All-Ivy League selections. Jeremy Lin, now a member of the Houston Rockets, was a 2010 first-team all-conference pick. Wesley Saunders was an All-Ivy League selection in 2013, later developing into the conference player of the year. Siyani Chambers was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Year in 2013.
Hufnagel was a graduate assistant at Oklahoma for two seasons from 2008-2009, where he helped conduct individual workouts, and assisted the coaching staff during practice. In his two years at Oklahoma, the Sooners won 53 games, and advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Tournament in 2009.
With the Sooners, Hufnagel assisted in the development of Blake Griffin, the first overall selection in the 2009 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers. Blake was named the 2010-11 NBA Rookie of the Year and appeared in his fourth consecutive All-Star game in 2013-14.
Hufnagel has experience at the NBA level, serving an internship in basketball operations with the New Jersey Nets (now Brooklyn Nets) where he assisted in the front office in preparation for the draft.
Hufnagel earned his Bachelor of Science in Industrial and Labor Relations from Cornell University in 2006 and a Masters of Education with an emphasis in Intercollegiate Athletic Administration at Oklahoma in 2010.

Weekend Teaching Series: Workshop Weekend (1-off)
Sermon in a Sentence: 4 different options for messages – choose your own message weekend!
Service Length: 39 minutes + 40 minute workshop
Understandable Message: This weekend we had the first 1/3 of our service together then for the message divided up into 4 different workshops. We tried to have a good cross-section of topics, here they are:
- COPYCAT: What does it actually mean to be a Christian?
- SPIRITUAL WARFARE: Putting on the whole armor of God
- THE CHRISTIAN CONDITION: Lukewarm living
- UNPLUGGED: When you feel disconnected from God
Each of them was really great – I got chance to bounce around to all of them and it was super fun to hear different voices teaching biblical truth. Each speaker had a handout and was well-prepared for their message. All in all a total success!
Element of Fun/Positive Environment: Chip Bragg (one of our key volunteers) kicked things off with a great welcome and greeting time, in honor of prom [3 of our biggest schools all had them this weekend] he came out in his tuxedo and wowed us all. So fun! We also welcomed our summer interns and had a little fun with them on stage as well.
Music Playlist: Rise and Sing, The Earth is Yours, Forever Reign
Favorite Moment: We did a Rwanda mission trip commissioning at the 6:30 service and it was really special. Loved seeing the students who have given so much time, money and energy to go on this trip be prayed over by their peers, parents and HSM team. Such a great time!
Up next: Senior Weekend (1-off)

Should the impoverished be encouraged to gain wealth through regressive taxation? Should the sick be taxed at a higher rate since they place a greater burden on our health services? Should taxes exist to convince our most vulnerable people to be less vulnerable?
By the logic of this letter they should.
Until policy-makers recognize obesity as a health problem and not a personal failing, the world will continue to get heavier and heavier. The idea that all one needs to do to regain a healthy physique is to eat less and move around more, flies in the face of reality. A complex combination of genetics, sociological, physiological, environmental, and psychological factors all play a role weight gain. Clearly healthy eating and exercise are the necessary steps to lose pounds. It is just as obviously simple that the solution to alcoholism is to not drink.
A deeply ingrained sense of shame, a psychological factor reinforced by sociological attitudes, is a common contributor to weight gain. Many obese people eat because they feel worthless and feel worthless because they eat. This letter's proposition suggests that not only have they failed at a simple a task, but they now owe a debt to society. This message is unlikely to do anything, but reinforce harmful patterns. This will result in increasing our obesity rate and causing psychological harm to people we claim to be helping.
