"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" Trailer Officially Released
While it's not All Ages — or at least I don't think it is — former My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way has written and drawn another comic, and it stars anthropomorphized cats.
Created by the Umbrella Academy writer for The Talkhouse, "Twitter" is about, well, Twitter, featuring a cat who invites a stranger into his home, only to immediately regret the decision. It's not a complicated allegory.
If you're like me, who only recently discovered that comics industry veteran artist Paul Smith has a website and is on Twitter, suffice to say you are in for a treat.
By now we've all seen, or at least heard about, the Twitter-rocking star-studded selfie orchestrated by Ellen DeGeneres during Sunday's 86th Academy Awards ceremony. Snapped by Bradley Cooper (who actually owns the rights to the image), the photo was retweeted a 3.2 million times, shattering the previous record of more than 778,000 set in November 2012 with the election-night post from President Obama.
While the not entirely spontaneous stunt certainly paid off for ABC and Samsung, which was reportedly promised airtime for the Galaxy Note 3 smartphone as part of its $20 million sponsorship and ad buy, they weren't the only ones to get promotional mileage out of the photo.
Publishing | Variety speaks with Madrigall President Antoine Gallimard about how the French publishing giant and its holdings (Gallimard, Casterman, Flammarion and Futuropolis, among them) handle the film rights to their many graphic novels, and the popularity of comics as source material: "I think that the French publishing and film industries feed on, complement, and ultimately do help each other. The number of films adapted from books that are produced every year in France is eloquent testimony to this." Noting that, "In recent years, there's a real feeding-frenzy for graphic novels, comic books," Gaillimard says, "Comedy, in all its variants, is the most popular of adapted materials." [Variety]
Legal | An Algerian judge has made a preliminary recommendation of 18 months' imprisonment for cartoonist Djamel Ghanem for drawing a cartoon, which was never published, that government officials deemed offensive. In an odd twist, Ghanem was sued by his own newspaper, La Voix de l'Oranie, which tends to favor the current administration, and as a result, he has been blackballed by the Algerian media. The cartoon is critical of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's bid for a fourth term but doesn't even depict the president — it shows two people in conversation, comparing the fourth term to baby diapers — Ghanem said the point was that Algerians were treated like children. Pressed by the district attorney to admit the cartoon was insulting to the Bouteflika, Ghanem insisted that wasn't his intention. [Global Voices Online]
Crime | Federal prosecutors are seeking a lengthy prison term for Colleen LaRose, who was convicted, along with two other people, in a foiled 2009 plot to kill Lars Vilks, a Swedish cartoonist who drew a caricature of the Prophet Mohammed. LaRose, who goes by the online name "Jihad Jane," could face a life sentence, but as she assisted U.S. authorities with several terrorism investigations, they are merely asking that she spend "decades" behind bars. LaRose's sentencing hearing is scheduled for Monday; her co-conspirator, Mohammad Hasan Khalid, will be sentenced on Tuesday. [The Guardian]
Creators | Neil Gaiman, who maintains a highly visible presence on Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr — he has 1.8 million followers on Twitter alone — is taking a six-month "sabbatical" from social media to focus on his writing. "I feel that I'm getting too dependent on phones, on Twitter," said Gaiman, who began blogging in 2001. "It's a symbiotic relationship. That instant ability to find things out, to share. I want to see what happens when I take some time off." [The Guardian]
He helped create the Marvel Universe, he's appeared in Marvel movies, he still draws huge crowds at comic conventions, he's been a Simpsons character and he even has his own cologne — but perhaps Stan Lee's biggest accomplishment comes today, on his 91st birthday, as the still-working writer finally hit one million followers on Twitter.
Back in August, a Public Service Announcement was released, asking folks to follow The Man on Twitter and push him into the one million followers club. Instead of jumping on the Twitter bandwagon, though, the Internet got together in secret and decided to wait to follow him — giving Lee the ultimate birthday present. Surprise!
In all seriousness, congratulations and happy birthday to Stan Lee! Check out Kevin's post from yesterday to see some fun shots of Stan throughout the years.
Passings | Artist Janice Valleau Winkelman, creator of the detective Toni Gayle, passed away on Dec. 8 at age 90. Winkleman, who drew under her maiden name Janice Valleau, had polio as a child and wore a brace through school. Her first work was published in Smash Comics in 1939, when she was 16. She studied at the Phoenix Art Institute and moved to New York, where she found steady work as a penciler and inker for Archie Comics and Quality Comics. She left the industry during the anti-comic crusades of the 1950; author David Hajdu profiled her in the prologue to his chronicle of those times, The Ten Cent Plague. According to the Grand Comics Database, one of her stories was reprinted as recently as last April, in Archie Double Digest #238. [Pittsburgh Post-Gazette]
Ripples of shock went through a certain portion of the Twitter/Tumblr/webcomics world Tuesday with the revelation, delivered by Susan Orlean at The New Yorker, that the @Horse_eBooks Twitter is not spam after all, but rather a work of conceptual art. The news also spelled the end of the webcomic based on that Twitter account, Horse_eComics. And a couple of sharp observers just earned some extra coolness points for catching on two years ago that something was off about the whole thing.
@Horse_ebooks was originally, as the name suggests, the Twitter for an e-bookstore that specialized in horses, one of about 170 spam Twitter accounts maintained by a Russian entrepreneur, let's call him, named Alexei Kouznetsov. In January 2012, John Herrman wrote a post explaining how @Horse_eBooks worked: Some of the tweets were links to accounts on Clickbank, an affiliate marketing site, while the others were random bits of text that were basically there to fool the Twitter spam detectors.
Despite its relative obscurity, National Comic Book Day seems to be getting a bit of traction. With apparently zero support from the big publishers or Diamond Comic Distributors, it's really a grass-roots holiday. As I mentioned in my post Wednesday, these sorts of occasions are useful for reporters who want to write about comics but need a news hook. Perhaps something similar is going on in the marketing department of Jo-Ann Fabrics. Here's a roundup of National Comic Book Day observances, which may provide a rough map to geek presence in unexpected quarters.
Thirty-six questions. Six answers. One random number generator. Welcome to Robot Roulette, where creators roll the virtual dice and answer our questions about their lives, careers, interests and more.
Joining us today is Ethan Rilly, creator of the award-winning series Pope Hats.
Now let's get to it …
Of all the worthwhile causes clamoring for our attention, few tug at the heartstrings like the plight of Stan Lee, aka "The Man." You see, while many so-called "celebrities" — Kim Kardashian! Charlie Sheen! Donald Trump! — have millions of Twitter followers, the beloved writer, editor, actor, action figure and generalissimo has … well, a lot less than that.
"How many aren't hearing this desperate man's cries of 'Excelsior!' over the Internet?" Attack of the Show! alum Alison Haislip asks in the moving PSA below. Too many, Alison Haislip. Too damned many.
But you can help: One click — one simple click — goes a long way toward making lil' Stan Lee's dreams of 1 million Twitter followers a reality. Is that too much to ask to bring a smile to The Man's face? Act now; operators are standing by.
Here I am, like so many of you fine, wonderful people, relaxing at home instead of walking among the majestic masses of Comic-Con International in San Diego. Comic Book Resources and Robot 6 are keeping we homebodies abreast of all the news from this year's mega-super-hyper event, so it's kind of nice to be able to sit in a comfortable chair while still keeping informed and not having to pay $9 for a burrito.
Sure, it'd be nice to be there, wouldn't it? To stand in line and take your chance at a microphone to tell the House of Ideas your opinion, ask questions of your favorite creative teams and get attention from the editorial team? Good news! That's what social media can do for you! We live in an amazing time where a tweet to your favorite artist could be replied to with casual familiarity or a Tumblr post could get you a sneak peek at exclusive artwork. Marvel Executive Editor Tom Brevoort has a Formspring account (now moved to Tumblr here) so you can ask him any question at any time of night. The people who produce comics are surprisingly at the hands of their public, which for Marvel, isn't that new of an idea.
Writer Anina Bennett and artist Paul Guinan join the Monkeybrain Comics line with today's digital re-release of first episode of their creator-owned Heartbreakers, which originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents #35 in 1989.
The sci-fi adventure has gathered has gathered a growing following over the years, and as it turns out Monkeybrain Co-Publisher Chris Roberson is one of those longtime fans.
Bennett and Guinan spoke with ROBOT 6 about the history and influence of Heartbreakers, its digital debut, and why they partnered with Monkeybrain. To learn how real-world events helped to change the direction of Heartbreakers makes me even more interested to see how Bennett and Guinan plan to observe the comic's 25th anniversary next year.
If you're attending Comic-Con International in San Diego, be sure to visit Bennett and Guinan in Artists Alley at Booth CC-01.

If you think that artists should work for free because your project will give them great exposure (and anyway, art isn't really work, because people like to do it) then stay away from Ryan Estrada's latest Twitter account, For Exposure, which mocks that attitude by posting real requests from the Internet. On the other hand, if you believe in paying people for their work and you need a good laugh, check it out. The tweeted material is presumably from aspiring comics writers, although they might think about paying an editor, as misspellings and grammatical errors are legion.
For good measure, he also presents a dramatic reading (below) of a letter requesting an artist work for free — actually, offering it as if it were a great opportunity.

Au Coeur d'Hanoi
Warmly decorated and central.
What we say:
Au Coeur — or The Heart — certainly captures the location of this new hotel on Hang Be street as it's about as central as you can get to the Old Quarter tourist hub, but does it have one? With comfortable rooms from $40, we think so.
Rooms at Au Coeur d'Hanoi Hotel are on the small side but very warmly decorated and comfortable, some with seating as well as beds. Choose from five different room styles, from standard through to the suite. As the price rises, the rooms — and the windows — get bigger. You have to get to level four in the room classification scale — deluxe — before you get a view of the street, but who sits looking out of the window at what's going on below when you could be out there enjoying it? Some rooms have the interesting feature of a window between the bedroom and the bathroom — with blinds — so you can turn on the bathroom light and pretend it's the great outdoors.
All rooms are equipped with what has now become standard for new hotels — a flat screen TV — as well as a minibar, safe and tea- and coffee-making facilities. Little extras, like an alarm clock and bathrobe, good quality fixtures and furnishings, and interesting artwork and decor, suggest that a lot of thought has gone into fitting out both the rooms and the communal areas.
Note that although standard rooms are adequate, they don't have walk-in showers nor working desks so upgrade if you have the budget.
A buffet breakfast is taken in the inviting restaurant on the ground floor — the bottles of wine on the walls make it inviting enough for us — which is also open for lunch and dinner, or take advantage of 24-hour room service.
The receptionist who showed us around was very welcoming indeed, and other staff greeted us warmly. We hear that service is very good overall and well believe that.
Rack rates make this a less than good value place to stay, but walk-in rates and online offers are very enticing. For the location, quality of accommodation and service, Au Coeur is an excellent option in the area if you can get a good price. We were quoted $40/$45 for a single/double standard, through to $60/65 for a deluxe single/double.
If it's out of your budget or fully booked but you like the area, you'll be pleased to hear the nearby options are wide-ranging. Check out Cozy Hotel 2, a few doors down, or the less cosy but good value Rising Dragon over the road.

Chandigarh, Amritsar airports to be upgraded
New Delhi, March 30 We have a given a clearance to the upgradation of 30 non-metro airports, including Chandigarh, Amritsar, Ahemdabad, Nagpur and Coibmtore airports. Chandigarh and Amritsar airports will be covered in the first phase, said Minister of Civil Aviation Praful Patel here today. Speaking on the sidelines of an Assocham conference, he disclosed that international consultants have been appointed to prepare the design and the details of the project that would be executed on turnkey basis through private partners. Mr Rajinder Rai, Chairman, Northern Region, Travel Agents Association of India, said, upgradation of Amrtisar international airport will provide a great relief to the NRIs from the state besides helping the tourism industry. I have already decided to shift my head office to Amritsar. Mr Patel said bids for the modernisation of Delhi and Mumbai airports would be invited soon and the work would start shortly. The board of Air-India will meet in the next few days to take a decision to bring an IPO in the market for financing the new planes. According to official estimates, the modernisation and restructuring of Delhi, Mumbai airports is likely to cost over Rs 15,000 crore. When asked about recent poaching attempts of private airlines of pilots from the Indian Airlines and Air-India, he said, we have called a meeting of the players to ask them to stop this practice. We cannot stop pilots in the free market economy and I do not believe in any restrictions. But the industry should have some self-discipline in its own interest, he said. Earlier speaking at the conference Is Aviation Industry on Acceleration Path?, Mr Patel said, the state governments should bring down sales tax on aviation turbine fuel (ATF) to bring down the air fare in the country. They would also benefit in the long term as it would promote air traffic in the states. In India, the cost of ATF per seat is 28-30 per cent as against 12-14 per cent at the international level. Consequently, it is cheaper to travel from Mumbai to Delhi via Sharjah as compared to the direct Mumbai-Delhi route, he said. Referring to the congestion on airports, Mr Patel said due to increase in air traffic in recent past, the airports were facing congestion. We are aware of the problem, and hope to resolve it soon. There are only 60 million domestic flyers out of 100 crore population. You can well imagine the situation if the numbers go up to say 50 million in the next few years, he observed, adding that the government was determined to develop at least 30 airports over the next three years. |
Air Deccan, Kingfisher not to poach on each other
Mumbai, March 30 Talking to the media after the launch of the ICICI Bank-Air Deccan Gold Card, Capt Gopinath said apart from non-poaching of each others skilled employees, the alliance with Kingfisher Airlines also envisages sharing of inventory and spares for its Airbus and ATR fleet and the two new simulators being set up at Bangalore and Chennai by Air Deccan involving a capital expenditure of $25 million. Replying to a question, Capt Gopinath said, We have not filed any case against Kingfisher Airlines as reported by a section of the press, but have filed a case against our own employee who, after obtaining training abroad at our expense, has jumped the bond to join elsewhere. The airline has recruited 150 pilots as it intends to add 30 A320s and ATR-72 aircraft in the next two years, he said. On the impact of ATF (Aviation Turbine Fuel) price rise, Capt Gopinath said efforts were being made with the government to allow fuel hedging by the airlines to offset the hike in rates. Commenting on the performance of his company, he said Deccan Aviation, the holding company of Air Deccan, would break even this year both cash and net break-even. We expect our total turnover to exceed Rs 1,000 crore by next year from Rs 450 crore at present. Simple logic will enable us easily estimate the potential of this business. In a country with a population of one billion, we have merely 600 flights per day compared with the USA which has 160,000 flights per day and Europe 40,000 flights, he said.
Ranbaxy restrained from selling blood pressure
New Delhi, March 30 The court has ordered besides Ranbaxy, Israel-based Teva Pharmaceuticals Inc to immediately stop marketing the product, known generically as quinapril, which Teva launched in December under its own label as part of an agreement with Ranbaxy. The US District Court for New Jersey has halted the sale of quinapril tablets (5, 10, 20, and 40 mg). Pfizer had reportedly argued that quinapril, marketed by Teva since December through an exclusive arrangement with RPI, was literally infringing its US patent under the doctrine of equivalents. The company said it would seek damages for the lost sales caused by competition from the cheaper generic versions of its drug. Accupril had US sales of $387 million in 2004. Ranbaxy and Teva said they would appeal the decision but will comply with the injunction for the time being. Ranbaxy has not indicated the total sales registered since the launch of the drug in December. Judge Dickinson Debevoise granted the preliminary injunction after finding that Pfizer was likely to prevail in its patent infringement lawsuit filed against Teva and RPI on January 28. Pfizer said that the judge also denied RPIs and Tevas request to stay the injunction, while it sought a permanent injunction on generic sales of the companys blood pressure drug. Ranbaxy and Dr Reddys Laboratories Ltd are two Indian firms that are rolling out generics in the US and European markets, including challenging patents holders. Ranbaxy has challenged Pfizers patent on the worlds top selling drug, cholestrol-lowering Lipitor, in the US and other countries. It is awaiting a judgement from a US court, which could come around July, but has said it has started making investments to prepare for the launch of the drug, which will weigh on earnings this year. |
Pak eases visa rules for Indian traders
New Delhi, March 30 Indian businessmen will be granted two-year, multiple-entry visas with no restrictions on the number of places they can visit. I held talks in this regard with Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz, before I came, and he has approved the measure as well as allowing me to make this announcement, Chaudhry Shujaat, who is currently leading a high-level party delegation here, said. Speaking at a CII function, he said the decision would be formally announced once industry chambers work out certain modalities in this regard. Chaudhry Shujaat, who is also the president of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League, said he saw no problem in the re-opening of the Wagah border for direct trade between the two countries. I will speak to Prime Minister Aziz about it. This will be a good step, and will resolve several logistic problems that hamper trade between the two countries. I see no problem in this regard, he said. Admitting that politics was a stumbling block in better trade and economic ties between India and Pakistan, he said this fact must be recognised and dealt with. He claimed since the Pakistani business community was apprehensive about the threat from the Indian industry, once trade was opened, there was a need for taking certain measures. |
Tatas may set up car unit in Punjab
Chandigarh, March 30 In next three or four months, a number of new industrial units, including some global players in the information technology field, are set to enter Punjab, said Mr Singla. He revealed that Chennai-based Ashok Leyland will set up a Rs 5,000-crore heavy transport vehicle manufacturing unit in the state. The unit would have a dedicated supply to the defence. Tata Consultancy Service (TCS), Wipro, Infosys and other IT giants, he said, would invest in the state in a big way and that would generate thousands of jobs. Four major textile units are also expected to be commissioned in the state in coming months. A new thrust to industrialisation would generate about two lakh jobs in the next one and a half years, asserted Mr Singla. In the present day competitive world, there is no place for territorial concessional policy. If the Centre felt the need to help economically or industrially weaker states, it could have given them some grants. But it cannot allow concessions and benefits at the cost of neighbouring states. The new excise policy benefiting the hill states has seen flight of pharmaceutical industries from the plains to Himachal Pradesh which has already attracted investment of Rs 1250 crore. How can an existing industry be killed like this. One company which is a major player in information technology has set up an oil unit in Baddi. The cost of the unit is Rs 20 crore and its annual excise benefit would be Rs 26 crore. How can other states compete with them. On our insistence, we have got the Sunset Clause added now. But benefits will flow till then (2007) as industrial units would move to Himachal and other hill states, Mr Singla added. |
Escorts acquires 100 pc stake in Farmtrac
New Delhi, March 30 The acquisition was made by Escorts Agri Machinery Inc, USA, the companys wholly-owned subsidiary. We have given a very strategic conclusion to an extremely interesting journey with a promise of even more exciting times ahead. After the Ghana order worth $ 8.56 million, the latest acquisition of our Polish JV will help us get a larger market share for our Farmtrac Tractors in European countries and further strengthen our brand equity in international markets in the times to come, Rakesh Chopra, Business Head, Agri Machinery Group, Escorts Limited, said in a press note. In June 2000, Escorts had taken up 49 per cent stake in FTES, which was subsequently enhanced to 64 per cent in May 2003. FTES, which was earlier known as Pol-Mot Escorts, is a Polish limited liability company with Share Capital of about $2 million. M&M sells stake
Indias largest utility vehicle maker Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd (M&M) and Ford India have sold their cross-holdings to manage their business goals separately. Mahindra sold its 15.88 per cent stake in Ford, while the Detroit-based carmaker sold its 5.16 per cent stake in the Mumbai-based vehicle maker. The two firms have been in a relationship for more than a decade but both companies operate in different business environments and have to manage their goals independently, Mahindra said today. Our stake in Ford represented a portfolio investment and selling it was purely a market-driven response. We have a good relationship with Ford and it is better to part when friends, said Mahindra Executive Director Arun Nanda. Ford Indian officials were not available for comments.
As it gears up to begin production from the second half of next year, Michelin-Apollo Tyres (MATL) has initiated talks with Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland, the countrys two biggest commercial vehicle makers, for selling its radial tyres. We are looking forward to doing business with two very important makers of trucks and buses... We have initialised a dialogue to establish first relationship with both Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland, MATL CEO Herve Dub said. He said talks were initiated a few months ago. Asked by when a final decision would be taken, he said: There is no timeframe. We have just started a discussion and sent a proposal. The $ 85-million JV for manufacturing truck and bus radial tyres will go on stream by June 2006 and the Pune plant will have a capacity of 3.5 lakh by 2009-10. Michelin is already supplying tyres to Volvo in India and Dub said he expected the market for radial tyres to grow in the coming years. Even as radial tyres currently comprise a small fraction of the truck and bus tyre market, they are expected to see rapid growth in demand, he said.
Youth motivated to set up units
Mansa, March 30 Mr Kumar, who was here today to preside over a seminar organised in connection with the motivation of youth to set up entrepreneurships, said though the Punjab Government could not provide full facilities to the industrialists, no industrial unit had shifted to another state from this state in the past
few years. He pointed out that instead, the investment in the state had witnessed a significant jump as it had gone up to Rs 12,000 crore from Rs 4,000 crore in the past few years. He added that setting up of the refinery in Bathinda district would boost the industrialisation of Mansa district. He advised the youth to take up those industrial units, which were directly and indirectly connected with the oil refinery. He said the youth would be given incentives to jump in the field of self-entrepreneurship and the General Manager, Industries, in each district would look after their
problems. Mr Raj Kamal Chaudhary, Deputy Commissioner, pointed out that as the number of government jobs had been decreasing every year, industrialisation of Mansa district was the only solution to check the problem of unemployment. He added that small-scale industries (SSI) should be promoted in this region to create more jobs. Mr Chaudhary pointed out that about 2800 units of each category had been running in this district.

Shringar cinema to build multiplex in Punjab
New Delhi, March 30 We are in touch with property developers in Punjab and Uttar Pradesh for setting up multiplexes and hope to build them in the next two years. Later, we will move to Bangalore, Chennai and Kochi for the same, Shringar Cinemas Managing Director Shravan Shroff told newspersons here today. He said the company, which is entering the capital market with 81.50 lakh equity shares on April 5, will use its IPO proceeds to build seven multiplexes at Kandivali in Mumbai, Pimpri in Pune, Thane, Aurangabad, Surat, Hyderabad and Kolkata over the next 12 months. Besides opening up of multiplexes, Shringar Cinemas Ltd, an integrated film exhibition and distribution company operating a chain of multiplexes, also proposes to utilise the net proceeds of the issue to create infrastructure for its growth to consolidate its existing market and make in-roads into new markets for funding the exhibition of films and opening up of multiplexes.
Cement to cost more in Vat regime
Chandigarh, March 30 The current excise duty on cement is Rs 400 per
tonne, which is almost 25per cent of the ex-factory price. In addition, the royalty of Rs 40 per tonne for limestone, which translates to Rs 60 per tonne of cement has further aggravated the situation. The impact of this hike will be felt more in Himachal, where an additional goods tax on transportation is levied. |

Horrible news.
I hate to be an ass about it, but it seems like he still hasn't learned to control himself. It doesn't look good for his future PG aspirations (if he had any). Can't believe it happened in training camp So what happened was he hit his head on Brandan Wright's hip while trying to split a double team according to ESPN. http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/trainingc ... id=3051363 Hearing about this injury reminded me of something he said in an interview. http://www.warriorsworld.net/news/offse...ellis.html
Crap... any news yet on how long he'll be out?
Yea I just saw this on ESPN. Its sad cause they were just talking about how good this week was with no major injuries to anyone on the team and now this happens. Hopefully nothing major and just hope it was just for precationary reasons.
HEIIIIIIIIIIII...i just picked him.....don't give me a disaster news...

Lets just hope hes not paralyzed. That wouuld be a sad sad day. THe article on espn said he couldnt move from the shoulders down. Doesnt look good.
Terrible news. Looks like Belinelli is going to start. We lost Monta for an unknown amount of time and we don't have Jackson for 7 games. We're going to need our guards to step up since we lost our best two not named Baron.

^ it has to be very serious, it took over mlb playoff scores in the espn news block thing(turn on espn news and youll see what im talking about). Hope he can recover fully. |
Sounds like it could potentially be very serious. Hope the guy is alright and gets back to 100%
migya make the ring fall on ya |
well.. from hitting his head on a hip.. then the ground.. i dont think he fucked up his spine or anything... i just pray that he is fine as TMC said earlier.. no matter if hes out for the season.. just as long as hes okay.
That's me |
ESPN reported the am that he left the hospital on his own. Diagnosis is a neck sprain. Will be out for a few days as a precaution (likely still hurt and nervous anyway). This is very good news.
Monta is fine....as long not injure his hand or leg.....he is ok...
Thank god. The news about not being able to move were alarming, to say the least.... He better takes some time off before trying to come back. |

I recently got Windows 8 Pro and upgrade it. Now I'm just waiting for the catalyst update so I can play my games that requires OpenGL (Like Minecraft for example).
Is there a release date for the 12.11 update? I never had any problems since the 12.10 update came out.
Just in case: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470
On Windows 8 it showed me I have: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 (1.2 WDDM)
AMD Athlon(tm) II X4 610e Processor @ 2.40GHz
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5470 w/ 1GB dedicated graphic memory and 3GB shared

Dell Inspiron One 2305
Windows 8 Pro - 64 bit Edition

***** cetera fallunt, ludere mortuus ******
I tried updating that beta version but it didn't work. It didn't showed me any GPU options.
Windows 8 already installed .NET 4 or higher so I can't reinstall it/
The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x00000050 (0xfffff90104ba7000, 0x0000000000000001, 0xfffff96000185658, 0x0000000000000000).
That's it without a compatible driver. Thanks!
I can't upgrade to 12.11 beta8 either. 12.10 works fine. I'm just going to wait for the official 12.11 driver release. I think our issue should be rectified by then.

Diazinon pesticides
Diazinon is a lethal way to take out cockroaches, ants, and fleas; it inhibits the enzymes necessary for proper functioning of the nervous system—and it works the same way on humans. Weakness, headaches, tightness in the chest, sweating, nausea, vomiting, and slurred speech are only a few of the symptoms of diazinon exposure. The pesticide was most popular in the 1970s and 1980s for use in home gardens but was outlawed in 2004 for residential use—though it's still legal to use products containing diazinon bought before the 2004 ban. -

Demonstrators want justice for Derek Williams
MILWAUKEE - Holding signs that read, "Chief Flynn's Got To Go" and "Justice For Derek Williams," about two dozen community activists protested outside District 5 Saturday afternoon, once again drawing attention to the case of a man who died while in police custody.
Video released this week shows 22 year old Derek Williams, who was under arrest for robbery, in the back of a squad car, pleading for officers to help him, saying he couldn't breathe.
Williams leaves behind three children.
Family members are also expected to hold a protest this coming week.

Texas Woman Can't Gain Weight, Bullied Over Looks
by ABC Digital
(NEW YORK) -- Lizzie Velasquez gets a lot of stares. The 23-year-old senior at Texas State University stands 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighs just 58 pounds.
"I can't gain weight," said Velasquez, describing the rare syndrome that blocks her body from storing fat. As a result, Velasquez is skin and bones despite eating around the clock.
"My stomach is so small that I can't eat that much," she said. "So about 30 minutes after eating I'm ready to eat again. I snack a lot just to keep my energy up."
The cause of Velasquez's syndrome -- so rare that it has no name -- is a mystery. Only two other people are known to have it, and countless genetic tests have turned up nothing.
"She's missing all of her adipose tissue," said Dr. Atul Chopra, a resident in medical genetics at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, describing the layer of cells under the skin that plump up with dietary fat. "We just don't know why."
Velasquez was born by emergency C-section weighing just less than three pounds -- half of what was expected for the 36-week pregnancy. And ever since, she's been poked, prodded and stared out by dozens of doctors trying to diagnose and treat her mysterious condition.
"Once I got to about age 13, I kind of got tired of it," said Velasquez, who besides her frail frame and blindness in her right eye is surprisingly healthy. "I realized I don't really want a cure for this syndrome. If a doctor found a magic pill or some surgery that would help me gain weight, I wouldn't want it. All the struggles I've had made me who I am today."
Those struggles have been many. Velasquez is still bullied because of her gaunt look, but says her elementary school years were the worst.
"I felt like some sort of monster," she said, recalling her first day of kindergarten. "I never told anyone how bad I was being picked on because I was embarrassed. When I would take a bath at night, that's when I would cry."
Every September, Velasquez's dad, Lupe -- a teacher at her school -- would stand up in front of her class and say, "This is Lizzie. She's just like you guys, she just looks a little different," Velasquez said. "It was a huge help."
Now, Velasquez is using her victory over bullying to inspire others. On top of a full course load, she's penned two books and delivered motivational speeches to young students across Texas. She also made an "It Gets Better" YouTube video with nearly 2.5 million views.
"I tell everyone, 'Even though you don't have my syndrome, you might be able to relate to the struggles I've had,'" she said, explaining how talking about bullying is therapeutic for her, too. "It's kind of the grown-up version of my dad coming to class."

Residents in Cabo San Lucas were preparing for disaster today as the second strongest storm on record in the Pacific bore down on them.
Hurricane Rick went into the record books over the weekend after it roared to the top of the Saffir-Simpson scale, going from a Category One storm to a Category Five monster in an astonishing 36 hours.
The storm is roaring roaring towards the popular tourist town of Cabo San Lucas on the Baja California Peninsula today. Its howling winds have been measured at 145mph - bringing it down to a dangerous Category Four storm.
Over the weekend winds reached up to 180mph - a potentially catastrophic Category Five.
Forecasters said they expected Rick to make landfall by midweek as a Category 1 or Category 2 hurricane, with winds ranging from 74 mph (120 kph) to 110 mph (177 kph).
Forecasters called on all those in Mexico's southern Baja California peninsula and along the mainland coast to closely monitor the storm, adding Rick would remain an extremely dangerous hurricane for the next day or two before losing some punch over cooler waters.
As of 11 pm EDT Sunday (4am British time this morning), the eye was centered about 410 miles (660 kilometers) south of the peninsula town of Cabo San Lucas. The storm was moving toward the northwest near 13 mph (20 kph).
Rick threatened to disrupt a major sport-fishing tournament scheduled to start Wednesday in Los Cabos, where hundreds of fishermen - mainly Americans - were gathering.
Los Cabos' civil defense director, Francisco Cota, said authorities were already weighing plans to open storm shelters and start police patrols urging residents of low-lying neighborhoods to evacuate.
The first inhabited land in Rick's path is Socorro Island, about 300 miles (500 kilometers) southwest of Cabo San Lucas, where about 103 personnel from the Mexican Navy and other government agencies are based.
The mainland base that commands the detachment said Navy personnel on the island reported some wind and rain and lowered communications antennas to prevent them from being blown away when the hurricane passes near the island Monday.
Isla Socorro is a nature reserve that hosts the Navy detachment as well as scuba-diving expeditions.
It's still far from clear where the storm will hit land, but the early forecast path would take it almost directly into Cabo San Lucas, where as many as 800 sports fishermen were expected to take part in the Bisbee's Los Cabos tournament, with about 130 boats scheduled to set off into the Pacific on Wednesday - the day Rick is projected to hit.
Teams from Russia and Japan had already shown up, and tournament organizer Clicerio Mercado said the three-day event would not be postponed, though fishing in the first two days might be canceled because of Rick, possibly leaving it as a one-day event Friday.
'In past years, we have had to cancel the first day of fishing two or three times,' Mercado said. 'But postponing it (the entire tournament) isn't a possibility.'
Mercado said that in the past, 'very big' 700 to 800 pound fish had been caught in the wake of storms because the churned-up waters draw in hungry fish.
Forecasters said Rick could carry enough force to continue past the peninsula and slam into Mexico's mainland as a hurricane somewhere near the resort city of Mazatlan on Thursday.
Rick continues to pack howling winds near 180 mph and its eye was centered about 555 miles south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas as of 5am this morning, the U.S. National Hurricane Centre in Miami said.
Authorities in the resort city of Acapulco closed the port to small craft after Rick kicked up heavy waves and gusts of wind.
Acapulco's Civil Protection Department had warned that rains from the outer bands of the storm could cause landslides and flooding in the resort city, but no such effects were reported.
Rick was the second-strongest hurricane in the eastern North Pacific since 1966, when experts began keeping reliable records, said U.S. National Hurricane Center meteorologist Hugh Cobb.
The strongest was Hurricane Linda, which generated maximum winds of 185 mph in September 1997.
'Rick is probably going to go into the record books as one of the most rapidly intensifying hurricanes,' Cobb said.
The storm was generating some waves up to 50 feet high near its core, Cobb said, adding there were ship reports of 16-foot seas elsewhere off the Mexican coast.
He said the storm's danger should not be underestimated, however, as Rick will still have the potential as a Category 1 or Category 2 storm to provoke heavy rains and unleash mudslides.
Cobb said it is still uncertain whether the eye of the storm will make landfall.

Recent Port Republic Reviews
Perfect gathering place for friends
The house was the perfect place for a group of friends to gather. 14 of us spent the weekend singing and enjoying the breathtaking view of the Bay. We may have provided a concert or two to the neighbors and fishermen on the pier. :) The house was clean and ready for our arrival, and had the perfect amount of space for our large group.
The only challenge we had was cleaning up all of our dishes after the weekend without dish detergent provided. Other than that, a perfect stay!
This house was exceptional. My family and i loved it. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a private beach atmosphere. My family and I give it four stars. I recommend it to everyone.

European Nuclear Lab CERN Launches New "Easy IP" Plan 04/06/2012 by William New, Intellectual Property Watch 2 Comments Print This Post Does the idea of a multifunctional, versatile position-sensitive detector for measuring characteristics of a beam of particles spark ideas for useful products of benefit to society and the economy? If so, then CERN has just the thing for you. In an attempt to boost the utility of its research, the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the Geneva-based intergovernmental laboratory, today announced a plan to offer its patented technologies for licence royalty-free in order to promote innovation. CERN, known for the Large Hadron Collider (no, creating black holes in the universe does not qualify as useful) and the invention of the World Wide Web (yes, that's right), is putting some of its latest ideas on the market. Now, under the "Easy Access IP" programme, businesses and entrepreneurs can sign an exclusive or non-exclusive licence agreement with the organisation and work with a CERN-owned idea royalty-free. Under the exclusive [pdf] and non-exclusive [pdf] licence agreements, CERN has a say in what the technology is used for, has no liability, retains the patent rights, and makes no guarantees about the technologies. "The full portfolio is available through a wide range of channels including R&D collaborations, services and consultancy, support to spin-off companies and the creation of business incubation centres in CERN's Member States," CERN said in a release. Easy Access IP was first trialled by the Easy Access Initiative, a collaborative project between the University of Glasgow, King's College London and the University of Bristol, CERN said. In the example of the multifunctional detector, the technology consists of "a microwire-based monitor that allows measuring non-destructively the spatial profile, divergence, and intensity of UV, x-ray, and charged particle beams, including anti-particles." Other available technologies include a 3D Magnetic Sensor Calibrator, RF Waveguide Vacuum Valve, Thermally Insulatable Vessel, and a Cryogenic Optical Fiber Temperature Sensor. The details are here. "Sometimes our technologies are too early stage for a company to risk investment," Giovanni Anelli, head of CERN's Knowledge Transfer Group, said in the release. "By offering free access, we aim to encourage our partners to evaluate and commercialise those technologies, thus making it easier for CERN and industry, both spin-off companies and established ones, to work together." "The technologies licenced under the Easy Access IP scheme will be royalty free and shared with qualified companies willing and able to take them to the market with clear benefits for the economy and for society," said Enrico Chesta, head of the Technology Transfer and IP Management Section. "The return for us is the establishment of strong, lasting relationships with external partners." CERN, headquartered in Geneva, is the world's leading laboratory for particle physics. Member states include: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. Romania is a candidate for accession. Israel and Serbia are associate members in the pre-stage to membership. India, Japan, the Russian Federation, the United States, Turkey, the European Commission and UNESCO (UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) have observer status.

Nuno Pires de Carvalho says 06/06/2012 at 3:00 pm Why creating back holes is not useful? Of course it is. Black holes, science fiction says, are the highways of the cosmos because they are tunnels across time and space. So, let CERN obtain patents for machines that create black holes, provided they are not created in my backyard. Reply
[…] According to a press release, the lab has signed up to the Easy Access IP scheme, following groups such as European nuclear lab CERN and others (IPW, Education/R&D/Innovation, 4 June 2012). […] Reply

A Judicial-Military Coup in EgyptPosted on Jun 15, 2012
Due to a decision by the high court to dissolve Egypt's legislature, the country's presidential election this weekend comes at a time when "there's no parliament, no constitution or even a clear process for drafting one," says "Democracy Now!" correspondent Sharif Abdel Kouddous. Following the first round of the presidential election, some Egyptians are spurning the legitimacy of the ruling military authorities to oversee a transition to democracy. Rather than participate in a process that legitimizes a political survivor of the old regime and offers a conservative Islamist as the alternative, some Egyptians are refusing to vote altogether. —Posted by Alexander Reed Kelly.
