Post subject: Can I put brands on a web comic or even comic?
In example lets say the character is playing a Wii/Xbox/ps3 whatever.. or eating in a mcdonald or when using a PC it has the windows theme.. or playing minesweeper (or minecraft lol) or watching videos in youtube or checking facebook..
Could something happen if I included anything like that?
Or would it be better if I just make random stuff like Wwwi/Xcube/Sp3 Wacdonalds Mindoms.. Mineweeper...
I guess you get the point.
Thanks in advance.

It depends on what exactly you're doing. When tv or movies use fake brands it's more a matter of advertising, or really, not wanting to advertise. Think about it this way. If Homer Simpson drank Budweiser instead of Duff it would have some effect on Budweiser sales. While some shows are actually sponcered by certain brands. It could be subtle, like a character driving a Ford car, or completely in your face, like the almost omnipresent coca cola logo on American Idol.
Also the context of what you're doing matters. I make a video game/nerd culture comic, so at times I need to have products like the Xbox, or Wii in my comic, because I'm writing an actual commentary on them. However stuff like the brand of tv or computers used in the comic are never mentioned because really it has no importance to the plot. So feel free to use whatever products you want in order to tell your story, as long as you're not malicious about it you'll be fine.
In your case you're making a webcomic, so you probably don't have a major corporation sponcering you, nor is the spread of your comic so vast that if you had real world products in your comic it would influence actual purchasing trends, so do what you want to do. If you want to make up fake brands for the sake of quirkiness, do that. If you want to casually include real brands to give your comic some ties to the real world, do that, just don't go overboard to the point that it's intrusive, you might potentially alienate a part of the audience in doing so.

You make very good points. I chose to avoid any product placements in my comic out of concern for being told later that some comics need to be altered to remove certain products or celebrity names. My comic is not about pop culture or trends, so I avoid anything that someone may read five years from now and think "Oh yeah... I remember when that was a thing".

I read somewhere in a manga Hikaru No Go that the author once drew the character drinking some random beverage.. The next week the company that makes the beverage send the author like a lot of that drink haha..
I get the point, I will just make fake brands for the sake of not getting sued or things like that.

I created my own font for my comic.
I got in touch with a company that created a font that I wanted to use with my comic. They said no charge to use their font for web publishing and book printing. Then I followed with the fact that I was thinking of creating my comic for sale as a PDF. Then they said that will require additional costs based on distribution, tax and an anual minimum cost of $500 a year. So I decided to just create my own font and not be bound by a yearly situation based on current technology.
If you are concerned about copyrite, I just wanted to add this as "Food for thought".

Generally unless your suggesting that their products are rubbish or the corporate activities corrupt you'll be fine. Even then Megatokyo, which has been published by Dark Horse and an imprint of DC, has working for Sony and Sega (or had - I haven't read it for a while) rival mercenaries (both shown as willing to kill or blow up busy public places to reach their goals) and to my knowledge there's never been any problems with that.
There are definite advantages to using the names of real brands. Dropping the name of a real car brand or model for example will give the reader a better idea of things like economic status and tastes than a made up one without having to go into exposition mode. Different makes of car, different news channels, newspapers, brands of beer, electronics firms and so on have different connotations that come with them and you lose all that when you use fictional versions instead.
That said fictional brands can work fine, though the example names you gave come across very much as comedy names, which are all fine and dandy if that's what you're going for, but once you've established those brands you might find yourself stuck with them to some extent and you really want to make sure that you're not going to end up regretting the name.
Good fictional names (much like stores' own budget brands) are often ones that feel right for the industry or product, but don't sound like they're trying to be an actual brand. For a good store own brand example, Currys (UK electrical chain) introduced a brand called Matsui. They used a Japanese name, because the big electronics firms they were trying to rival were all Japanese and it worked pretty damn well. For a good genuine sounding fictional examples we have
Oceanic Airlines
Morley Cigarettes
used by various production companies for years and years.

Wrong spelling of right I'm afraid. It's a legal right, not something that is written. Also when it comes to using brands as apposed to designs you're talking trademarks not copyrights.

Yeah the MegaTokyo thing with Sony and Sega is fine cause it's parody with is legal under fair use laws. The Scary Movie and the Insert Genre Here Movie franchises couldn't exist without such laws.
Weird Al for example, every time he makes a parody song he contacts the original songwriter as a professional courtesy, even though legally he doesn't have to. Back in the day there was a little curfuffle between Coolio and Weird Al over Amish Paradise, a parody of Gangsta's Paradise. Legend goes Al believed he had Coolio's blessing, but when the song came out Coolio was a little annoyed to say the least, but legally there was nothing he could do.
To use another webcomic example, Awkward Zombie, a game centric comic in which 95% of the comic have no original characters, instead mostly use license Nintendo characters. Resently they published a volume collecting the first year of comics, without fear of litigation because again the comic falls under the fair use parody.
That is to say fair use parody laws don't have their limits. 8-Bit Theatre, a very popular comic back in the day will likely never publish a printed version of the comic seeing as not only is it a parody of the story and characters of Final Fantasy, but as a sprite comic it uses no original art, which is perfectly fine for a webcomic, but if they ever were to publish a printed copy they'd be infringing a little too much on the intellectual properties of Square-Enix.

Parody is a defense against copyright infringement, not trademark, as far as I know. For a trademark to fall under fair use, you have to be either A) be referring to the product
or B) accurately describing your own product (like if I trademark the phrase "really delicious" for my restaurant, that doesn't mean that nobody else can call their food really delicious, they just can't put the little 'tm' next to it).
I think generally you're fine with calling your XBox an XBox, but trademark law is messy and weird and I'm not really comfortable stating anything with absolute certainty. I know that most major professional studios will avoid using trademarks, so if it's at all possible then I'd say make up your own fictional brands. On the other hand, you can't really do a comic about two guys sitting on a couch playing Halo if your characters can't mention the title, so sometimes you don't really have the choice.

Thanks Wendy! The spelling error has been corrected.
The company that created and owns the font said that digital sales such as ebooks require the font's file to be imbeded into the ebook. That would mean that if I sold an ebook using their font, then I would be selling their font. They group all digital formats in the same category when it comes to their licensing agreement.
So I stayed away since this was going to be a yearly user's licence agreement.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar, Vice Chair of the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee (JEC), today called for a commonsense approach to regulations that protects consumers and the public interest without stifling innovation and economic growth. Klobuchar invited the founder of Minneapolis-based CVRx, a company that makes medical devices, to testify at the Joint Economic Committee hearing about how federal regulations have impacted his company and the larger medical device community in Minnesota. Minnesota Congressman Erik Paulsen also attended the hearing.
"From farmers to manufacturers to medical device companies like Minnesota's CVRx, American businesses need greater simplicity in the tax code and a more sensible approach to regulation," Klobuchar said. "We need policies that protect consumers with clarity and consistency, not endless red tape, and I will continue to work to create a regulatory climate that promotes growth and innovation while still maintaining safety and security standards."
During the hearing, Klobuchar focused on the continued need for clear and consistent policies at the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the primary regulatory agency charged with approving medical devices made by Minnesota's roughly 400 medical device firms. Klobuchar, who successfully pushed the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to curb unnecessary dust regulations in 2011, also stressed the need to cut red tape for farmers and ranchers.
Klobuchar has made reducing the regulatory burden for businesses and farmers one of her top priorities in the Senate. She authored bipartisan legislation, passed into law in 2012, to help streamline the Food and Drug Administration's regulation of medical devices without compromising public safety. As founder and co-chair of the bipartisan Senate Tourism Caucus, she has also worked to cut red tape in the U.S. tourism industry by cutting back on wait times for tourist visas. Klobuchar also introduced the Representation for Farmers Act to ensure that American farmers are represented in the decision-making process for environmental policies and regulations that would affect U.S. agriculture.

An attorney by trade, Martinez previously served as District Attorney for the 3rd Judicial District in Doña Ana County, New Mexico, from 1997 until 2011.[3]
An analysis of Republican governors by Nate Silver of the New York Times in April 2013 ranked Martinez as the 24th most conservative governor in the country.[4]
Martinez was a Democrat until 1995, when she switched to the Republican Party.[5]
Martinez grew up in the Rio Grande Valley in El Paso, Texas, where she worked as a security guard for the business her parents started and ran from their home. Her father, a former Golden Gloves boxer, was the deputy sheriff for El Paso County.
After college and law school, Martinez moved to New Mexico in the 1980s. She and her husband, Chuck Franco, live in Las Cruces. Franco currently serves as the Doña Ana County Undersheriff and has worked in law enforcement for 30 years.
She has one stepson, Carlos, who serves in the U.S. Navy.
In August 2012, she was included in a list of 20 Latino political rising stars compiled by the San Francisco Chronicle and in 2013 Time Magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.[6][7]

Political Career
Governor of New Mexico (2011-present)
Third grade retention
In November 2013, Martinez supported the idea of retaining students who cannot read at a minimal level by the end of the third grade, while most Democrats opposed the idea. Martinez and supporters have attempted and failed to get the legislature to pass a third-grade retention bill. She planned to introduce the measure again in 2014.[8]
Affordable Care Act ("Obamacare")
In December 2012, Martinez diverged from most Republican governors when she declined to enter New Mexico into the federal exchange system, as established under the Affordable Care Act, known as "Obamacare," in favor of setting up a state-based system.[9][10] New Mexico was one of 18 states - including Colorado, New York, Maryland, and Washington - that decided to create and run individual health-exchange systems by the deadline on December 14, 2012. The exchange is an online marketplace for citizens to purchase health insurance.[11]
Deficit higher than expected
For a year prior to Martinez taking office, New Mexico's budget deficit was estimated at $260 million. However, Bill Richardson's financial expert raised the estimate to $452 million, a 74 percent increase. This meant the state legislature and incoming Martinez had a more daunting task to balance the fiscal year budget, which started July 2011 and ended in June of 2012.[12]
Gay marriage recognition
In the stretch before the beginning of the 2011 session, Rep. Al Park asked Attorney General Gary King for an opinion on whether same-sex marriages from other jurisdictions are valid in New Mexico.
King responded by saying that although a majority of states bar recognition of same-sex marriages performed in other states, he said that New Mexico does not have an explicit statute prohibiting the recognition of same-sex marriage from out of state.
"We conclude that a court addressing the issue would likely hold … that a valid same-sex marriage from another jurisdiction is valid in New Mexico," said King.
Martinez noted in 2011 that she "made it clear during the campaign that she opposes same-sex marriage. It's important to note that no New Mexico court has ruled on this issue."[13]
In December 2013, the New Mexico Supreme Court legalized gay marriage in New Mexico.[14]
Cabinet salaries cut
At the start of her term as governor in early 2011, Martinez informed the public that the cabinet would "lead by example" and live with a salary cut.
"No cabinet secretary will earn higher than $125,000 per year. During the previous administration, cabinet secretaries earned as high as $188,158 per year," said Martinez in a statement.[15]
DNA lab
In late December 2010, the state Supreme Court granted departing Department of Public Safety boss John Denko the authority to move the state's DNA lab from Albuquerque to Santa Fe. Denko said it would save the state $400,000 a year.
Martinez released this statement upon hearing the news:
- "It is politics at its worst to move the DNA lab to Santa Fe in the final hours of the current administration only to move it back to Albuquerque on Monday, which is exactly what will happen. Instead, we should be putting victims and justice first. The move is opposed by both Republicans and Democrats, along with victims' advocates and law enforcement. I will not be bullied into doing anything that will jeopardize cases and justice for New Mexico victims."[16]
Job creation ranking
In a June 2013 analysis by The Business Journals, which ranked 45 of the country's 50 governors by their job creation records, Martinez was ranked number 43 (tie). The five governors omitted from the analysis all assumed office in 2013. The ranking was based on a comparison of the annual private sector growth rate in all 50 states using data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.[17][18]
State Investment Council
Rep. Tim Keller and Rep. Steven Neville sponsored a bill in the 2011 session that would kick Martinez off of the State Investment Council and change the way four legislative appointments on the 10-member SIC board are selected.
The legislation passed the Senate 38-2 and was approved by the House of Representatives 50-18. In early April 2011, it sat on Gov. Martinez' desk with an April 8 deadline for signing it, vetoing it, or pocket vetoing it.
Neville and Keller learned that the Governor's Office "had some real hesitations with this bill," Keller said. Neville said the Governor's staff indicated to him that the Governor herself wanted to talk personally to him and/or Keller about some questions she has with the measure.
"We're not trying to pull anything on her," Neville said. "We're trying to correct the things that happened under [previous Gov. Bill] Richardson."
"We're still going through the process of reviewing legislation," Martinez spokesman Scott Darnell said. "A final decision has not yet been made on SB 17, but the Governor's stance was very clear throughout the legislative session. As we've relayed: The Governor supports removing all politicians from the State Investment Council and requiring that those appointed to serve in their place meet minimum qualifications of having at least 10 years of professional investing experience."[19]
Martinez vetoed the bill on April 8, 2011.[20]
Tax reform
Martinez made tax reform, namely cutting the state corporate tax from 7.6 percent to 4.9 percent, a priority for 2013.[21]
In April 2013, Martinez killed 70 bills, either by veto or not acting on them. This total was nearly one-fourth of all measures passed during the legislative session. Included among the vetoes was legislation to shore up the judicial retirement system and a bill to give the Public Education Commission final word on charter schools.[22]
The full list of bills signed and vetoed is available here.
Lawsuit against Gov. Martinez
In 2011, Mimi Stewart, Henry Saavedra, John Arthur Smith and "Lucky" Varela filed two lawsuits against Gov. Martinez over her line item vetoes in an unemployment bill and a housing bill.
Raul Burciaga, the director of the Legislative Council Service, told committee members of the Legislative Finance Committee (LFC) on May 19, 2011 that in his opinion two line-item vetoes made by Gov. Martinez violate the state's constitution.
"Some of the governor's vetoes seem to impinge on the legislature's appropriation powers and plow new ground in a governor's exercise of the veto authority," said Burciaga.
That day, Martinez firmly said she disagreed.
"I could protest any governor doing this … it's not partisan," Sen. Stuart Ingle. "She's a good governor … but it's a little bit of stretch to do this."
Burciaga testified that the veto Martinez made in unemployment bill H.B. 59 is part of a revenue bill and "did not authorize the expenditure of state money because that authorization was already in statute and not amended in this bill." Burciaga said the veto was "unconstitutional and, hence, unenforceable."
The second veto came when Martinez reduced an appropriation the legislature made to budget bill H.B. 2 from $150,000 to $50,000. Burciaga said that while state courts have not addressed the issue specifically, reducing "an item of appropriation is a legislative function that the governor has no power to do."
"I think we need to challenge this in the courts," Rep. Luciano "Lucky" Varela (D-Santa Fe) said.
"The main difficulty I have is changing the figure [from $150,000 down to $50,000 in HB2]," Ingle said, expressing concern that if the current partisan makeup of the Roundhouse were reversed, a future Democratic governor could assume greater power at the expense of the legislative branch. "We just can't go there."[23][24]
District Attorney (1996-2010)
Martinez was elected as District Attorney for the 3rd Judicial District in New Mexico in 1996 with close to 60% of the vote. She was re-elected three times, and was unopposed for her 2008 re-election.

On The Issues conducts a VoteMatch analysis of all Congressional members based on 20 issue areas. Rather than relying on incumbents to complete the quiz themselves, the VoteMatch analysis is conducted using voting records, statements to the media, debate transcripts or citations from books authored by or about the candidate. Based on the results of the quiz, Martinez is a Populist Conservative. Martinez received a score of 20 percent on personal issues and 49 percent on economic issues.[25]

Her biggest donor was Denver developer Larry Mizel, with a $50,000 donation. Martinez and Denish spent about $5 million during the election cycle, as of November 2, 2010.[27]
Martinez won the election with 54 percent of the vote to Denish's 46 percent, becoming New Mexico's first female governor.[28]

Men's Golf Places Ninth at State Farm Intercollegiate Invitational
October 15, 2013
TAZEWELL, TN – The Pfeiffer men's golf team had a strong showing at the State Farm Intercollegiate Invitational on Monday and Tuesday, placing ninth. Nathan Bull led the way, firing a 73 in his first round, and following that up with a 72 in round two.
Following Bull was David Weinberger, who shot identical rounds of 73 to finish one shot behind Bull and in a tie for 21st place. C.J. Dreyfuss posted a final score of 150 for the Falcons, followed by A.T. Cashwell and Zach Weaver who shot 158 and 162 respectively. Each golfer finished in the top-60 overall.
Pfeiffer finished with a team score of 599. Lincoln Memorial won the tournament with a final score of 567.
This tournament concludes the fall season for the men's team, who don't compete again until March.

It looks like Common Law won't be back for a second season. While the TV show hasn't been officially cancelled by USA, the signs are all there.
Common Law follows a pair of LAPD detectives — Travis Marks (Michael Ealy) and Wes Mitchell (Warren Kole). They bicker but their talents mesh so well that their commanding officer, Captain Sutton (Jack McGee), orders them into counseling to keep the team together. The series also features the talents of Sonya Walger, Elizabeth Chomko, Alicia Coppola, Nora Zehetner, and Reed Diamond.
The first season averaged 2.13 million with a 0.6 demo rating on Friday nights. It was the lowest-rated original scripted series on USA this summer, performing worse than Fairly Legal, the sophomore series that also aired on Fridays.
According to Deadline, Common Law's fate seems all but sealed. The options for the entire cast have expired so those contracts would have to be renegotiated for a second season to happen — if the actors aren't committed to other projects. In addition, the show's executive producer and showrunner, Craig Sweeny, has been hired as an executive producer on CBS' Elementary series — a new take on Sherlock Holmes.
What do you think? Would you like to see a second season of Common Law? Why do you think the show didn't catch on with a bigger audience?

Photos from a sea turtle rescue center where the breeding stock of Green turtles undergoes a weekly washing and weighing on September 15, 2013 in Mikhmoret north of Netanya, Israel. From transplanting turtle nests during the nesting season to protected beaches, through the rescue and treatment of wounded turtles brought in by fishermen or washed up on Israel's shores, to the development of a long-range breeding program for the threatened Green turtles, the volunteers and staff of the Israeli Nature and Parks Authority are doing their best to protect the creatures. The numbers have dwindled in the Mediterranean to an estimated 450 nesting female Green turtles and about 2500 nesting female Loggerheads. Far removed from man-made obstacles and protected from their natural predators such as crabs, foxes and birds, the hatchlings make their race to the sea with the hope that more than 20 years later they will return to the same beach to ensure the species survival.

Seahawks are not suffering from a Super Bowl hangover

Elaine Thompson / Associated Press
Seattle Seahawks� Jermaine Kearse snags a sideline pass at training camp on Saturday.
Two days into camp, it's pretty clear that in fact very little is different from a year ago. This notion that a title is going to change the Seahawks? Poppycock (note: always use a British accent when saying poppycock).
As much as people want to talk about a Super Bowl hangover or the fear of complacency setting in, when you actually watch a training camp practice in 2014, it looks, sounds and feels a lot like a training camp practice in 2013. Yes, there's a bit more media on hand — although there was plenty of attention on this team last summer as well — but little else has changed for the defending champs.
"We've been in the mentality we went into last season — some people's expectations was that we'd be in the Super Bowl and all of that — and we dealt with that at the time, so this is a carryover from that," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said. "I'm hoping that our guys feel comfortable with the expectations and that it seems normal for them to have this kind of attention and focus, and we'll deal with it properly by really focusing on what's at hand each day as it comes to us."
And OK, if we want to get technical about it, a little has changed. There's that shiny trophy in the lobby at team headquarters, and players have rings as well as their place in the history books. But even if ESPN and the NFL Network have a bigger presence at camp, and even if there are more fans on the bandwagon, it's not like this team didn't know pressure a year ago. Go back and read preseason coverage of the 2013 Seahawks and you'll find stories wondering how they'll deal with the pressure of being Super Bowl favorites as a young, inexperienced team.
The Seahawks were very much the NFL's "it" team in 2013 as well. Thanks to their strong finish to the 2012 season, their young, talented roster and a few splashy offseason acquisitions the Seahawks were national media darlings at camp a year ago, too.
"This is not a new conversation for us, it's not new language for these guys," Carroll said. "And as long as we do the work, that's what we have to recapture out here on the practice field, then we'll progress and try to take advantage of this opportunity."
If anything, handling the spotlight and the pressure should have been tougher a year ago. It was new to the Seahawks then, they hadn't known this kind of success, hadn't been in the limelight, hadn't been called Super Bowl favorites, so if that attention and those expectations didn't derail their 2013 season, why does anyone think it will now?
Plenty could stand in the way of the Seahawks repeating as Super Bowl champs, from their tough division to a bad run of injuries. But an inability to handle the pressure, failure to thrive in the spotlight? Those shouldn't be factors. Last year, when the Seahawks were a young team that hadn't accomplished much other than a strong finishing kick to the 2012 season, that was the time to wonder if they were ready for primetime, not now.
"I know that we're champions, we know how to do it," quarterback Russell Wilson said when asked if anything felt different this year. "But at the end of the day, it's a new year, it's a new beginning. The difference is everybody has felt winning before. They know how to get there, they know what it feels like to win, they know what it feels like to excel, so our goal is to get back there again. How do we do that? How we do that is by our work ethic, by our mindset, by the way we practice every day, what we do on and off the field. That's got to be our goal, that's got to be our central focus: how can we elevate our game to the highest level possible?"
Yes, the Seahawks are the prohibitive favorite to repeat this year, but they are embracing those expectations, not trying to avoid them.
"Nothing feels different," safety Earl Thomas said. "The only thing that feels different is we've got something to protect now. We understand that and we love that. We've been waiting for this opportunity to catch everybody's eye, and we want to keep that attention on us."
The Seahawks won't worry about whether or not they have a target on their backs, because the way they see it, if they stick to the formula that's gotten them this far, their talent will take care of the rest.
"We are who we are," Thomas said. "Nobody has our personnel, that's why they can't beat us."
Thomas, who also dropped such gems as, "I don't even fathom my full potential, it's crazy, because every year I get better," is supremely confident in himself and his team because he and the Seahawks have every right to be. It's the same reason Russell Wilson, someone you'd usually think of as a humble, team-first guy, said that he and Thomas, "talk about trying to be legendary."
The Seahawks won a title last year because they were talented, and because they could handle the pressure of being the favorites. Now they've turned their swagger up a notch — not because they're putting on a show, but because it's who they are. They're comfortable in their own Super-Bowl-champion skin, and no amount of attention or pressure is going to change that.

Results vs. Catawba (2007-02-23 14:00:00)
February 23, 2007
|Softball Drops Game One. Game Two Halted
|Friday, 23 February 2007
|Misenheimer- The Pfeiffer softball team dropped a game one heart breaker in 10 innings to Catawba only to see game two halted at the top of the sixth inning with Pfeiffer leading 6-1. In game one both teams had chances to win in regulation but after seven complete the score was knotted at 4 a piece. Because of the international tie breaker rule, each team starts extra innings with a runner at second base. Catawba started things off and plated three runs in the top of the eighth inning. Trailing 7-4 the Falcon's led the inning off with a fly out to centerfield followed by consecutive hits from Jessica Culler and pinch hitter Christi Sink which cut the lead to 7-5. After the Catawba pitcher recorded another K sophomore leftfielder Stephanie Bethea reached on an error loading the bases with two outs for fellow sophomore Martina Bullard. After taking the first pitch for a ball Bullard lined a single into right center field which tied the game at 7. After neither team scored in the ninth Catawba pushed across one in the tenth and Pfeiffer was unable to answer ending the game 8-7. "I am proud of the way the team battled all game long," Said Head Coach Todd Bradley. "There is no quit in this team every time we get into a tough situation this team responds and I know it will pay off in the end."
After the game one heartbreaker Pfeiffer responded immediatly. In the bottom of the first inning after a leadoff fly out, Bullard doubled, Dacia Ijames walked, Jaimee Cassidy singled driving in Bullard and Sarah Moore reached on a fielder's choice. Junior second baseman Stephanie Brandt was hit by a pitch loading the bases for Jessica Culler who singled plating two runs and giving the Falcon's a 3-0 lead after one. Pfeiffer went on to score a run in the second, one in the third and one more in the fith before the game was halted due to darkness. The Falcon's lead the game 6-1 and if no time is found to finish the last two inning Pfeiffer will be declared the winner. Jaimee Cassidy was 3 for 3 and the Falcon's had 11 hits.

Updated: 5/25/2014 1:24 pm
New York, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - As expected, New York Rangers center Derek Stepan will not play in Sunday's Game 4 of the Eastern Conference finals after breaking his jaw during Thursday's clash with the Montreal Canadiens.
Stepan sustained the injury from a hit by Canadiens forward Brandon Prust during the first period of Montreal's 3-2 overtime win in Thursday's Game 3. Though he returned to the contest, the 23-year-old underwent surgery on Friday and was considered doubtful to suit up for Game 4.
The fourth-year forward has never missed a game since joining the Rangers, owning a streak of 348 consecutive tilts that include the playoffs.
Rangers head coach Alain Vigneault stated Sunday that Stepan has been released from the hospital and visited the team that morning before returning home to recover.
Prust was not penalized for the hit, but was levied a two-game suspension by the NHL that begins Sunday.
In other injury news, Vigneault termed center Derick Brassard a game-time decision for Sunday's showdown, but told reporters his availability is "looking good, in my estimation."
Brassard has sat out the last two games of the series after suffering an upper-body injury in the opener.
Montreal had dropped Games 1 and 2 on home ice before coming through with Thursday's victory at Madison Square Garden.

Africa Didn't Change Adam Sandler In the Slightest, Proves It By Reading Drew Barrymore's Diary
Oftentimes when stars film new features in exotic locations, they'll spend the majority of their press tour talking about how much the new place changed them and their perspectives and their very souls. That didn't happen to Adam Sandler. The 'Blended' star hit 'The Late Show' last night, and although he quite admirably tried to convince host David Letterman that filming his new comedy with Drew Barrymore in Africa really did change him, it's fairly obvious from the get-go that Sandler's still up to his old tricks. This time, however, they involve animals lurking in the background.

"Jenny McCarthy, [I] don't have a shxt list," Winfrey tweeted Wednesday. "If I did you'd never be on it. Wishing you only good fortune, love, and light and watching @TheView."

|Introduction | Canon EF24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens performance | Canon EF24-70mm f/4L IS USM versus competition | Conclusion
Introduced in November 2012 as the proposed 'kit' lens for the EOS 6D, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM lens represents an interesting move for Canon – despite two well respected lenses in this category, the EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM and the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM hopes to offer a compact, lightweight lens suitable for the newly created lightweight, full-frame camera segment. The red L-series band offers the promise of professional performance, but does it live up to the expectations?
A standard zoom lens is the one lens that almost all photographers will have in their bag. This makes it a very interesting area for the manufacturers, as there is a potentially huge market for the lenses. Equally, since we no longer receive 35mm or 50mm prime lenses as a kit lens with cameras, the standard focal length zoom lens is an ideal replacement. By offering an L-Series lens with the EOS 6D, Canon is clearly hoping to indoctrinate new users in the benefits of the L-series over lesser quality lenses.
Along with the red L-series band around the front of the lens, the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM benefits from Canon's mature Image Stabilizer technology, including a hybrid facility to works not just in normal shooting, where it offers 4-stops of IS, but also in macro shooting, where it provides up to 2.5stops of IS. There is also the inclusion of the well-respected UltraSonic Motor (USM) AF motor for fast, quiet autofocus. Whether it is more than the sum of its parts or not, though, will only be shown by the test results.
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The latest in the L series, the Canon EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM is an ideal transtandard lens for reporting and can also make a good choice for portraiture. Versatile, it can also function as a macro with a reproduction ratio of 0.7x, Canon having worked hard to optimally match up the optical elements.
To website
Back in September Canon introduced the EOS 6D, its entry into the nascent 'compact, lightweight' full frame SLR segment. With the launch of the EF 24-70mm f/4L IS USM, Canon has now revealed what's destined to be its 'kit' lens. The newcomer is relatively compact in size to match the ethos of the 6D body design, but sports the company's premium 'L' series designation. However this comes with a price tag that's sure to make more than a few Canon users catch their breath - we've been told the the RRP will be $1499 / £1499.99 / €1459. What remains to be seen, though, is how much it will cost in a kit with the 6D body.

Most likely incorrect tests.I'll explain why DxO does not provide graphical results of the tests but only their personal considerations.So as another to drive the conclusion

Re: I do not believe
Interesting point but you have to remember you're not really comparing apples to apples here. The link you provided compares a Canon f/4 VS Sigma f/2.8 which isn't a true apple's to apple's comparison. More like a peach and orange.
DXO Lab tests thousands of lenses under Strict controlled environments, I highly doubt they're fluffing up the test results. PLUS "IF" they were...what are they gaining from doing so?
Something to think about.

National team competitions
Having unexpectedly won on the road at Schio, the Good Angels pressed home that advantage with a hard fought 65-59 home court win.
Lucia Kupcikova was a big reason why Slovakia had a good EuroBasket Women last year in Latvia.
On Tuesday night in Schio, she reminded everyone of that fact with a terrific performance to lead Good Angels Kosice to 70-67 win over Beretta-Famila.
With the Qualifying Round of EuroLeague Women wrapping up on Wednesday FIBA Europe has announced the official rankings of the sixteen teams that will advance to the Eighth-Finals and the resulting match-ups.
Three-time defending champions Spartak Moscow Region, who finished the Qualifying Round a perfect 10-0, ranked first followed by rivals UMMC Ekaterinburg and Wisla Can-Pack who lost just once.
Halcon Avenida of Salamanca beat Beretta-Famila Schio 80-62 in the last Qualifying Round game on Wednesday night to grab the fifth seed in the rankings which determines the match-ups for the next rounds.
The stunning trio of Alba Torrens, Sancho Lyttle and LeCoe Willingham combined for 63 of Avenida's points in an exciting game between two determined and well-coached teams.

First let me say that Sam Harris rocks. I just started reading the The Moral Landscape last night after catching his post on HuffingtonPost.com. I had already dismissed all religions, and I thought my insights in this area were advanced, but now I see I was just cracking the surface with my intuition.
Since Sam has mainly used Christian and Muslim examples (at least what I have read so far) of spreading questionable morals (I agree with him on these examples) I would like to point out what I think are the biggest moral shortcomings of dogmatic Judaism:
1. Gods Chosen People
Rabi's and other follower of Judaism must simply stop this non-sense. I believe it causes the followers to devalue other people. There is no rational basis for this claim.
2. Give me my homeland back
Sorry, this does not scale and therefore not rational and infringes on others well-being.
3. Eye for an Eye
This is a terrible idea and leads to the Hatfield and McCoy syndrome. Again it is not rational and does not lead to human well-being.

COLUMBUS — After playing one of the finest first halves in the program's history, the Liberty boys soccer team might have thought the Cleveland St. Ignatius Wildcats changed places with the hometown Columbus Crew in the second.
The Patriots controlled St. Ignatius in the first 40 minutes and held a one-goal lead at the half, but the Wildcats erupted in the second, scoring three unanswered goals, two in a span of 5:02 early in the second half, for a 4-2 victory in the Division I State Championship game Friday night before a large crowd at frigid Columbus Crew Stadium.
"We talked about playing the same way we did in the first half," Liberty coach Rick Collins said. "We knew they were going to come at us, but we made a mistake on the first goal in the second half and that just changed the game. Once they scored that goal, you could see the momentum turn."
St. Ignatius (22-1) earned its fifth state title and its third in four years, while Liberty (16-3-3), attempting to defeat the top three teams in the final Ohio Scholastic Soccer Coaches Association's Division I poll in succession, came up two goals short.
The game was back and forth early on, but Liberty broke the ice quickly in the first half. Junior midfielder Zach Matheny advanced the ball along the right side before sending a crossing pass to the left side to junior forward Jared Robinson.
Robinson crossed over into the middle of the field, found an opening and fired a shot from about 25 yards out that sailed past St. Ignatius senior goalkeeper Brendan Cash into the top left of the net with 30:21 left in the first half.
"We talked about coming out strong, coming out hard and dictating the pace of the game, and I don't think they expected us to do that," Collins said. "We found success on the wings and got behind their defense."
But the Wildcats didn't take long to get the equalizer — just 22 seconds, in fact. Off the kickoff, St. Ignatius worked the ball into the Liberty end and into the 18-yard box, where Matt Foldesy took the ball off a Patriot deflection and shot it past junior keeper Anderson deAndrade with 29:59 left in the half.
Play was rough all around as the officials let little pushes and holds go, but the Patriots persisted and got a solid chance in the 28th minute.
Junior midfielder Sam DeRoy intercepted a Wildcat pass, sprinted toward goal and passed to Matheny on the right side just outside the box. Matheny quickly shot the ball back to DeRoy.
The junior's first attempt was stopped by Cash, but rebounded back to DeRoy, who then stuffed the ball back into the net with 11:39 left in the half, giving the Patriots their 2-1 halftime edge and sending them into the locker room confident.
"I knew we were capable of playing with this team," Collins said. "I knew we had the ability, and it just shows that these kids can play at this level. I had no doubt about that."
But in the second half, St. Ignatius emerged a new team, winning balls, attacking the Liberty net and getting chances only an experienced team can get.
The Patriots got the first chance in the second half as Matheny's cross on goal was gathered in by Cash, but the Wildcats tied the score less than a minute later when junior Jacob Roth served a ball into the right side of the 18, where junior Nate Fahey hit it on the fly past deAndrade to tie the game with 37:46 left.
Just over five minutes later, the Wildcats took the lead when Foldesy crossed a ball into the box for Roth, who blasted it by a diving deAndrade with 32:43 left.
"Credit them," Collins said. "They made some adjustments in the second half and we just didn't find the space behind, and we also weren't possessing the ball in the midfield, and that really hurt us. We probably lost 90 percent of the balls in the first five minutes of the half."
Liberty tried to get attacks going after the goal to equalize, but St. Ignatius gave the Patriots very little in the second half while the Wildcat attack continued to split the Liberty defense.
St. Ignatius slammed the door in the 67th minute on a corner kick, when Foldesy served the ball near the middle of the box on the left side to Roth, who then headed the ball past deAndrade with 13:03 left.
"Give them credit," Collins said. "They kept pressuring us and pressuring us and we broke down. They're a great team."
St. Ignatius held the shooting advantages with a 16-12 edge in total shots and a 6-5 advantage in shots on goal. St. Ignatius also had three corner kicks to the Patriots' two. Liberty had two fewer fouls, six to the Wildcats' eight, but had two offside calls to St. Ignatius' one.
deAndrade took a rare defeat, facing six shots and saving two. Cash faced five shots and saved three for the win for St. Ignatius.

I just returned from a four-week book tour where I met a lot of people. Everyone was incredibly nice and it was a treat, although because of the nature of the events, it wasn't possible to spend lots of one-on-one time with anyone – including myself. However, I tried to answer as many questions as possible. The most frequently asked questions were; "Where have you been?" "Where are you going?" and, curiously, "When you are leaving?" I'll assume the last one was people just being polite. (I hope!)
Another popular question was about mes bonnes adresses in Paris, or favorite places to eat. While I update the list on the My Paris page regularly, and there are more complete descriptions in the Paris restaurant category on the site, I suspect people thought I was holding out on them. (I swear, I'm not! – well, maybe one or two…but I have my reasons…) I was also interested in how many people were coming to Paris in the near future, which may explain the rise in airfares this summer, which are preventing us from going to Cape Cod and having a lobster, steamer clam, beer, and corn-on-the-cob fest.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- With the 2013 Pentagon budget in doubt, the military is preparing for big cuts that include layoffs and delayed ship repairs.
In Washington Friday, Deputy Defense Secretary Ashton Carter said that if Congress does not come up with a way to avoid mandatory budget cuts by March 1, hundreds of thousands of Pentagon civilian employees will face furloughs and reduced paychecks by April.
Carter stated the furloughed employees would lose one day of work per week for the remainder of the budget year, which ends in September.
The Pentagon has about 800,000 civilian employees; they have not yet been officially notified of furloughs. Carter said the furloughs would be expected to save $5 billion.
Carter said the Pentagon already is eliminating all 46,000 of its temporary civilian workers in anticipation of budget cuts.
The Virginian-Pilot reports Navy leaders are in the process of cutting expenses - laying off thousands of temporary civilian workers, reducing base operations and preparing to cancel maintenance work on more than two dozen ships and hundreds of aircraft.
The newspaper says there are plans to cancel maintenance for about 30 Navy ships at private shipyards and maintenance for about 250 aircraft between April and September. The Pilot states there temporary civilian employees would be let go and a civilian hiring freeze put in place.
In a Navy memo dated January 24, Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Jonathan Greenert said, 'We are making the following reductions, starting now, to ensure we can fund ongoing deployments and other mission-critical activities.'

In a shift in strategy, the company that wants to build an oil pipeline from western Canada to Texas said Tuesday that the project will have no measurable effect on global warming. Canada represents just 2% of global GHG emissions, therefore, the oilsands represent only 0.1% of it.Opponents say the pipeline would carry "dirty oil" derived from tar sands that requires significantly more energy to produce than conventional crude oil and emits up to 20% more GHG. Michael Mann, a climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University, said the comments appeared to be based on "some rather rosy assumptions" about oilsands production. First, the calculation does not take into account the energy cost of refining and transporting the crude from oilsands, nor does it account for

Coming from San Francisco, a place where there essentially aren't any seasons, it's been an interesting transition living in France, where each season has its own rhythm and distinct feeling. Winter, as you can imagine, is the least favorite season of the year and this past winter was particularly somber and dismal. Parisians refer to the dreary gray days of winter, and the tristesse that accompanies it, an effect of la grisaille.
Yet when seasons change here, it usually happens in one day. All of the sudden, you find yourself able to open a window and you might head out with just two, instead of seven, layers of clothing. And from that day on, it'll stay that way until the start of the next season.

I'm willing to bet that every person, at some point during your involvement with Compassion, ponders some variation of the following question:
"Does Compassion's ministry really work? Compassion knows how to share stories, but how do I know it's actually making the difference they claim?"
Guess what? We've wondered the same thing. So 11 years ago we set out to get proof. We started a program called "It Works." The idea behind this program was to provide undeniable evidence that Compassion is changing lives.
It Works documents the progress of children in Compassion's programs. We choose our "case studies." Then we interview, photograph and film the children and their families. Five to seven years later we return to see what God has done. Being 11 years into the program, we are now on our second round of return trips.
During last week's chapel time we got to see this video and it was too exciting to keep to ourselves.

The large callous on the bottom of Joe Foster's foot came from years of wearing work shoes and standing on concrete, he said.
Every two months, he comes to the Patrick Senior Center in Kings Mountain and volunteer Hester Haynes removes the callous and files it smooth.
"Two months can't come fast enough," Foster said. "It's a blessing to me."
He works at the Rhodesdale Produce Stand in Kings Mountain, and two of his customers told him about the free service at the Patrick Center.
"I absolutely needed somebody who could do my feet, because I was at the age and physical condition that I couldn't do it myself," the 64-year-old said.
'Started because of the need'
Haynes has been offering the free service since 1989 at the Patrick Center in Kings Mountain and the Neal Center in Shelby. Victoria Bess has helped her in Kings Mountain for at least 10 years by making appointments and calling to remind people of their appointment. Carolyn Lee helps in Shelby.
"I started it because of the need," Haynes said. "People can't afford to pay someone to do it."
Her mother-in-law was in a nursing home and they billed Medicare $80 to file her nails, and Medicare paid $75.
"I said $5 is too much for that," Haynes said.
Working on other people's feet doesn't bother her; she passes the time by telling jokes or listening to her clients tell jokes. She does manicures, too, if they ask.
More than a convenient service
"I know what I like for my own nails to be trimmed, and I just learned the rest as I went along," Haynes said.
The manicures and pedicures are more than a convenient service for people, said Patrick Senior Center program coordinator Terrie Lewis.
"Maxine Allen, a former nurse and a volunteer at the center, said pedicures help prevent fungus. Checking for sores and cracks on the feet is important, especially for people with diabetes," Lewis said. "Hester has sent several people to the doctor."
Before clipping the toenails, she wipes them with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol. She uses a rotary file to smooth the edges. When she's done, she rubs lotion on the top and bottom of the person's foot.
"I do this to see if there are any corns or callouses I haven't detected," she said.
'This means a lot'
For the first 22 years, Haynes didn't even take donations for the volunteer service she provides. In 2011, a lady came to have her nails done and told her she should take something for what she does.
"She brought me this bag to sit on the table for people to put donations in," Haynes said, gesturing to a dark green bag sitting in the middle of the table. "If people want to contribute, they put it in the bag. It goes for supplies and to the senior centers."
Nellie Roseboro, 76, dropped a donation in the bag after receiving her pedicure.
"This means a lot," she said. "It feels so good and when I put my hose on they don't snag."
'The Lord has been good to me'
Haynes, 81, has a master's degree in science, health and physical education. She taught school for 34 years and is a member of the Golden Girls Softball Team, which brought home the gold for the fourth consecutive year from the N.C. Senior Games Finals in Raleigh last year.
She and her husband, Charles, have been married for 58 years. They met when he came to umpire a game at Tryon School, where she began her teaching career. The school children teased her about him asking her on a date. They dated five months before getting married Aug. 21, 1955.
"The Lord has been good to me," she said.
Seniors, need a manicure or pedicure?
Hester Haynes offers free pedicures and
manicures the second and fourth Wednesdays at Patrick Senior Center,
909 E. King St., Kings Mountain.
Call 704-734-0447 to make an appointment.

The new Deacon in Charge of the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation comes originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, to New York, New York, to West Point.
Deacon John Kellogg and his wife Tait, feel almost that they have come full circle back home. He is from Shreveport, La., and she comes from Pensacola, Fla. They met while attending The General Theological Seminary of the Episcopal Church, in New York, N.Y.
Kellogg will obtain entrance to the Priesthood this fall and will formally become the priest of the Episcopal Church of the Incarnation. He is fully able to conduct Sunday services at this time, but not marriages, funerals or communion until he becomes the Rector in the fall. He is looking forward to being able to fully function as Priest for his parishioners soon.
"I went to seminary, but I have a feeling that the people here have so much more to teach me," said Kellogg. "I want to take care of them and walk with them. Everyone I have met so far has been so kind and welcoming, West Point seems like a great place to live."
While deciding whether or not the life of a priest was what Kellogg wanted, he lived in Jackson, working as a building contractor for Habitat for Humanity. He learned many things there, such as home construction. Kellogg took up residence in the same neighborhoods as the homes he was helping build.
"I lived among the truly poor. I saw how little hope these people had for the future, whether it was for themselves or their children. People who felt they had nothing to offer and were desperate for the basic necessities that most people simply take for granted," explained Kellogg. "It was a miserable but eye opening time in my life."
Kellogg believes the job of a bishop or a priest isn't to preach an ultimate doctrine, but to walk a faith journey together with his parishioners. To learn from different people where scripture, life and faith join together. Everyone has questions, so we need to look for answers together. Kellogg wants to learn from others while also teaching them. None of us are perfect, but everyone brings their individuality, talents and knowledge with them to share. We may not always find the answers we are looking for, but we may find God.
