Axel-In-Charge: "Secret Wars" Jam Session Talking "A-Force," "Ultimate End" and More
Comic Books
This week Marvel released a couple of tie-ins to its big Original Sin event, and DC Comics issued new printings of chapters from its Superman crossover "Doomed." But the weirdest, most unexpected and, oddly enough, most traditionally formatted crossover going right now comes not from the Big Two publishers that invented and perfected the approach, but from IDW, whose Super Secret Crisis War #1 features the heroes and villains from a half-dozen old Cartoon Network series sharing story space.
IDW has done crossover stories before (Infestation, Infestation 2, Mars Attacks IDW), but in the past these have been rather indirect, with the same menaces (zombies, Lovecraftian monsters, the Mars Attacks martians) invading the different realities of its various licensed properties (G.I. Joe, Star Trek, Transformers, etc.). Here the participants all appear in the same book, and even rub elbows in the same panels.
What ties them together is that they all once had shows on Cartoon Network and, um, well, that's about it really, but it's enough to get them all in the same six-issue miniseries issues (plus five one-shot tie-ins that will bring yet more Cartoon Network stars into the fold).
This allows the series to capitalize on the pleasures of two different sorts of crossovers: There's the shared-universe crossover, as when all the DC or Marvel heroes team up (even if these characters don't technically share the same universe), and the inter-company crossover, when characters from various properties that were never meant to meet up do so (Think Batman/Judge Dredd, Archie Meets The Punisher).
The original Wonder Woman comic strip will be collected for the first time in August in IDW Publishing's 196-page hardcover Wonder Woman: The Complete Newspaper Strip 1943-1944.
It's part of the March 2013 partnership with DC Entertainment and the Library of American Comics that includes the Superman and Batman comic strip collections. Unlike the other two superheroes, who had lengthy tenures in newspapers (even if the Caped Crusader's was broken up into three major runs), Wonder Woman's was short-lived, lasting only from May 1, 1943 to Dec. 1, 1944.
As the average price of serially published, traditional-format comics has risen sharply over the past few years, I've gradually turned into a trade-waiter, my pull list shrinking to such a meager size that many Wednesdays I'll skip what was once a religiously observed weekly pilgrimage. It's not worth a trip to the shop for one or two books, after all, so I'll sometimes wait three weeks or so, allowing for a sizable stack to build up.
This was one such week, and I left the shop with a pretty good haul, about $45 worth of 14 comics, including a mess of DC weeklies, a pair of Marvel comics, a trio of high-quality kids titles, the latest issue of a locally produced horror series, a Batman/Green Hornet crossover and an issue of one of IDW's many Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics.
My pull list is now so small and carefully cut that I rarely encounter a book I don't like any aspect of (generally, when I do buy a comic I have negative feelings about, they're generated as much by disappointment as anything else). The flip-side is that because I take relatively few chances as a consumer (as opposed to a critic; as a critic, I read pretty much anything with panels on paper that I find in front of me), I'm rarely pleasantly surprised by what I bring home.
This week, I read one comic that was so good that I was genuinely taken aback by its awesomeness; I was surprised and super-excited. I wanted to stand up and shout "Yeah!" but I was in a coffee shop at the time. I wanted to high-five the artist, but he wasn't within arm's reach. I wanted to scrap what I was planning to write about in this space today and champion the book instead. I wanted to take the opportunity to say, "Hey everyone! Stop what you're doing and read this comic right now!"
Conventions | A reported 86,500 people attended the third annual Denver Comic Con over the weekend, up from 61,000 in 2013. The event is undergoing some growing pains, however, with organizers quickly rescinding an announced cart-service fee for next year's convention following complaints from vendors. Even without that additional charge, some exhibitors remain unhappy about the proposed increase in booth fees. [The Denver Post]
IDW Publishing has announced an August release date for Dave Sim's Cerebus: High Society Digital Audio/Visual Experience DVD set.
Funded in July 2012 through Kickstarter, the multimedia collection of the well-regarded "High Society" storyline (Cerebus #26-50) was originally serialized online. It features Sim reading each issue, in character, accompanied by music and sound effects, with motion effects added to the story art. There's also commentary and a virtual tour.
Cosplay | The Christian Science Monitor looks at how cosplay is spilling out of comics and sci-fi/fantasy conventions and into "daily life," such as movie theaters, pubs and public squares: "The spread of cosplay owes a lot to the Internet. Social media sites build buzz around the next big cosplay event. Tumblr and Instagram allow strangers to pass around photos of past work and offer words of encouragement from afar. YouTube videos reveal how to craft foam core into realistic-looking armor and braid hair like an elf." [The Christian Science Monitor]
Transformers lore can be hopelessly convoluted. You think the DC Comics and Marvel universes are hard to keep track of? Try being a Transformers fan: There are various comic book universes, Michael Bay's movie universe, the one from Japanese anime, the all-ages cartoon universe from Cartoon Network, the all-ages cartoon universe from the Hub, the original 1980s cartoon universe, and one where everyone's an animal, which may or may not be the same universe as the 1980s cartoon.
Making it even more complicated, this canon multiverse is often acknowledged by the characters themselves, and its existence frequently becomes the basis of storylines. In March, the Transformers: Regeneration One series, which boasts a lineage to the very first Transformers comic, came to the end at Issue 100 with the Autobots untethering their universe from the rest of the multiverse. That made the Transformers mortal, ending the original comic book universe continuity permanently.
However, even if you're not a Transformers fan, chances are you know the basics: Autobots, good; Decepticons, bad. Expanding on that: Optimus Prime is the hero, Megatron is the villain. It's white hats versus black hats, except the cowboys in this situation can transform into vehicles, cassette tapes and guns.
Gabriel Rodriguez, the Eisner-nominated artist of Locke & Key, has signed an exclusive contract with IDW Publishing, the company announced over the weekend at WonderCon Anaheim.
Since making his comics debut in 2003 with IDW's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, the artist has gone on to draw more than 2,000 pages and covers for the publisher on titles ranging from Angel to Land of the Dead to Clive Barker's The Great and Secret Show. However, Rodriguez is best known for his lengthy collaboration with author Joe Hill on the bestselling horror series Locke & Key.
"I'm deeply honored to start this new journey with my long term friends and partners from IDW Publishing. I'm excited, thrilled and thankful," he said in a statement. "This is not only a major step in my professional career — over time, Ted Adams, Chris Ryall and everyone from the IDW team have become close friends of mine, making me feel part of a family. It's both amazing and challenging to start this new stage in our creative collaborations, sharing a common vision: passion for art and comics, deep love for storytelling, high standards in personal and professional relationships. I hope to be able to give my very best in projects to come, and the few things we've already discussed hinted a path of amazing possibilities! It's somehow overwhelming, it can't get better than this."
Rodriguez's next IDW project is Little Nemo: Return to Slumberland, a collaboration with Eric Shanower announced last year at Comic-Con International. The eight-issue miniseries is scheduled to debut in August; an eight-page ashcan was distributed over the weekend at WonderCon.
Karl Kesel, Vic Malhotra and Greg Scott are teaming up to tell the secret origins of the X-Files. The X-Files: Year Zero, a five-issue miniseries debuting in July, will see Agents Scully and Mulder tackling a mystery that dates back to the 1940s and the beginning of the FBI's X-Files unit.
"The origins of the X-Files unit of the FBI were only hinted at in the TV show, and we're proud to present the story of how the precursors of our favorite paranormal agents established the division in the late 1940s," said editor Denton J. Tipton in a press release. "I think Bing and Millie will become fan-favorites alongside Mulder, Scully, Reyes and Doggett."
While looking for some art earlier I can across something cool — artist Tom Scioli, who is hard at work on IDW's Transformers vs. G.I. Joe comic, posted some alternate covers for the project from Rob Liefeld (Youngblood) and Ed Piskor (Hip Hop Family Tree) on his Tumblr.
"I can't believe they're letting us do this," John Barber, who is writing the project, said yesterday at WonderCon. "It's coming from a real pure place. The storytelling is crazy innovative, pure sci-fi, army cosmic clash between Earth and alien invaders. The Free Comic Book Day story on May 3, the Joes are engaging in a final showdown with Cobra and that's right when Starscream shows up pursuing Bumblebee, that's when things get out of hand. It's so much fun. I've been a fan of Joes and Transformers since I was able to read."
Check them out below. The comic kicks off this summer.
Darby Pop, Jeff Kline's comic imprint that's distributed by IDW, announced today plans to publish Doberman, the story of a former bad-boy cop who rejoins the force in a quest for vengeance.
"From the minds" of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Unsupervised producers Rob Rosell and Scott Marder, with writer Jack Lambert and artist Brandon McKinney, the humorous comic will make its debut this July.
"Doberman is the tale of a roundhouse-kicking, beer-shotgunning, Dodge Stealth-driving badass with a badge, shamed into years of personal exile. But, now he's back, with only one thing on his mind — revenge!" Lambert said in a press release. "Simply put, if Sylvester Stallone, Steven Seagal, and Jean-Claude Van Damme had a child, Frank Doberano (aka Doberman) would be that bastard's name."
Check out the full cover by Bernard Chang below.
Last year IDW Publishing released an amazing series of one-off crossovers featuring Mars Attacks and different titles in its line. It covered a lot of ground and showed some unusual and fun pairings, but one we never got to see was Evan Dorkin's Popeye Vs. Mars Attacks.
He relates in a blog post a situation where, in the span of a few hours, he was offered to write the book, pitched to IDW despite initial reluctance, got his pitch accepted, and then opted out. Although the 2013 one-shot was ultimately written by Martin Powell and illustrated by Terry Beatty, it's interesting to read Dorkin's ill-fated pitch and his summary of events behind the scenes.
Tom Beland, creator of the multiple Eisner-nominated True Story, Swear to God, ventures down a supernatural path in June with the debut of his new graphic novel series Chicacabra, from IDW Publishing.
The story focuses on Isabel Sanchez, a Puerto Rican high school student who, following a family tragedy and a mysterious incident, "finds herself with a monster capable of great brutality living inside her. But is it her friend or foe?"
IDW Games, which has already announced big-box games based on 30 Days of Night and Kill Shakespeare, will expand its lineup in July with the release of The X-Files.
Designed by Kevin Wilson (Arkham Horror), with art direction and box art by menton3 (The X-Files: Season 10) the board game will draw heavily from the first three season of Chris Carter's television series.
According to a press release, it's designed for a playtime of between 60 and 90 minutes, with two to five players facing off against another, who will control the Smoking Man and the nefarious Syndicate.
IDW Publishing, which publishes The X-Files: Season 10, a canonical continuation of the television series "executive produced" by Carter, formed IDW Games in October through a partnership with Pandasaurus Games.
"To me, there's no more exciting title than The X-Files," Jerry Bennington, IDW's director of new business, said in a statement. "Who wouldn't want the chance to play as the wise-cracking Fox Mulder or the incredibly intelligent Dana Scully? And what show created more classic villains than The X-Files?"
Passings | Tom Medley, creator of the comic Stroker McGurk, which ran in Hot Rod magazine for many years, died on March 2 at the age of 93. Medley was a hot-rodder himself, which is how he got his big break: He used to post his cartoons at a local hot-rod builder, and the publisher of Hot Rod, which was just getting off the ground at the time, spotted them and hired Medley as his comics and humor editor. Medley's son Gary said his father's humor sometimes foreshadowed reality: "Stroker's — or Medley's — inspired genius came up with a host of crazy ideas that appeared impractical at first, but were later adopted by everyday car builders and racers. Multi-engine dragsters, wheelie bars, and drag chutes all sprung from Stroker's fertile mind before they were embraced in the real world." [AutoWeek]

More Titles for the Die Hard Franchise
Tuesday, February 12, 2013 | 2 years ago
With the resurrection of the Die Hard movie franchise (number five, A Good Day to Die Hard, is out Valentine's Day), inevitably comes reflection. Where did Bruce Willis' hair go? Why did the series stop numbering its films? And have the movies always had such ridiculous titles? The answer to the last one, certainly, is yes. Die Hard 2: Die Harder was plenty goofy, but A Good Day to Die Hard significantly raises the bar. And if there's anything Die Hard takes as seriously as its titles, it's killing people. In the spirit of absurdity, exhaustion, and a great longing for Willis' long-lost locks, we present you with bar-raising titles of our own, inspired by the most spectacular deaths of the series. By Diana Clarke.

This is a 2D top-down shooter that the indiefags have been gushing about recently.
The screenshots don't do the game justice. The soundtrack draws you in, and it's like you're on drugs the whole time lol. However, this is another case where I'm in love with the aesthetics but the mechanics are terrible, specifically in the controls. I actually feel kinda dizzy after beating it, but I'm not sure if that's due to the trippy atmosphere or the shitty controls. Anyway, icycalm already covered this game's main problem in his review of Meat Boy:
icycalm wrote:And that's how Meat Boy plays: whatever is not retardedly easy is basically a crap shoot, which you try, fail, repeat and rinse until you've "made" it, at which point the game autosaves and you are on to the next asinine little "challenge".
Most of the game's 19 chapters are divided into 2 or 3 stages (after an introductory section usually at your house), and there is a checkpoint at the beginning of each stage. A chapter corresponds to one building and each floor of the building is a different stage. So, you have to kill everyone on the first floor to move on to the second floor and so on and so forth, and if you die you instantly restart at the beginning area of the floor you're on.
The enemies either sit/stand in one place or walk around on fairly regular patrols, except that sometimes they randomly stop their pattern and go do something different. That's cool for a game that involves some stealth and planning, forcing you to think on your feet.
The problem is that nothing but a computer can think on their feet this quickly. The mouse and keyboard in this game are hyper-sensitive and jerky, and when the mouse is flying around the screen, the cursor becomes extremely hard to keep track of. So, whenever you're required to improvise, the tendency will be to use some cheap trick like hiding around a corner and killing everyone as they file through it (the AI is quite dumb), or you might just stand there and swing a bat wildly by clicking your mouse indiscriminately. It's inelegant, clunky, and lacks fluidity.
This is most obvious in the boss fights, in which there is one specific thing you have to do to win, and you have nothing but a single instant in which to do it, which you discover through dying repeatedly. So once you figure out what that thing is, you then have to basically button-mash your keyboard and mouse in a certain pattern, and before you know it the whole thing is over. All in all the boss battles, though irritating, ended up being the easiest part of the game.
The whole game follows this rinse-and-repeat format, except that as a whole it is nevertheless much easier than the Meat Boy titles, since your crap shoot spamming tactics usually end up working quite well after a dozen deaths or so. Plus, the difficulty basically plateaus around chapter 5 or so, and only increases a little bit in one of the later chapters -- then goes back down again.
Yet with all that being said, I still cannot get the soundtrack out of my head....

If you get your kicks from Australian utilities rather than their sedan counterparts, new-generation time can be just that bit frustrating.
But not with the just launched FG Falcon. Unlike its predecessors, which only spawned utility versions many months after the sedan, a new Falcon ute is on sale now.
The ute brings most of the FG advancements, including fresh exterior and cabin styling, new front suspension and steering, revised powerplants and other innovations.
Out the back, though, the Ford retains its leaf-spring suspension and workhorse pretensions, distancing itself from Holden's multi-link suspended Commodore ute. CityLink adopts a similar view, putting the Falcon ute in the more expensive commercial vehicle category, unlike the Holden ute.
Price and equipment
FG ute pricing starts at a sharp $27,795 for the base ute cab-chassis, while the range-topping XR6 Turbo and XR8 tested here both send the till ringing at $38,490 - that's about $2000 and $3000 cheaper than their respective BF MkII predecessors and $1500 less than a Commodore SS ute.
In outright terms the XR8 isn't spectacularly well equipped, getting climate-control air, cruise control, trip computer, multi-function steering wheel, CD stereo and 17-inch alloys, but it's thoroughly competitive with other two-seat $40k sporties.
Going for the excellent six-speed ZF auto, meanwhile, adds $1000. You can inflate the price further with sat nav, Bluetooth and iPod connectivity, bigger wheels, premium sound system and the many other optional luxuries.
Under the bonnet
The XR8's 5.4-litre Boss V8 isn't undernourished, punching out 290kW of power versus the old model's 260kW.
Plant the foot and it unleashes a grown-up's serving of acceleration. If it lacks the searing shove of its XR6 Turbo sibling, its effortless flexibility, pure throttle response and delightful soundtrack are compensations.
The Ford's leaf-spring rear end, though, means it can be a struggle to get all that power to the ground, especially if it's bumpy. The XR8 is not particularly thrifty, either, using an average of 13.3L/100 km on test, and you'll return much higher figures than this around town.
No such issues with the precise six-speed manual shift, which has a pleasantly stout, metallic feel.
How it drives
The XR8's leaf-spring rear end looks to be a big handicap but that doesn't really transpire through the bends.
With sharp, sensuous steering, rapid responses, and predictable rear-drive balance it's agile, obedient and highly entertaining.
Of course, throw some really lumpy tarmac into the mix and the back end is noticeably more skittish than the sedan, but for the most part it's quite well behaved.
Not so the ride, at least on our test car's optional 18-inch alloys.
Most surface niggles were smothered acceptably well in light of its sporting bent, but over really sharp bumps the impact was enough to rattle the doors in their rubbers.
Despite more tyre and exhaust noise than the sedan, the ute retains enough of its sibling's acoustic refinement to be a relaxing long-distance partner.
Comfort and practicality
The XR8 ute is the same for front-seat occupants as all FG Falcons.
The seats are supportive, there's heaps of space and the ample steering adjustment puts a comfortable driving position within easy reach.
The dash is a sober design but quite classy, with better material quality and assembly than its predecessor.
Ford has spent plenty of time on the details. The 12-volt power outlet and stereo's auxiliary input are grouped together for handy MP3 player connection, while optional iPod integration operate the device via the dash and steering wheel-mounted controls.
Like its predecessor, the ute gets plenty of space behind the seats for items you don't want to put in the tray. But small-item storage is limited once you get past the console bin, thin door pockets and tight glovebox.
The XR8, too, isn't as capable a load-lugger as other Falcon utes, getting a payload rating of just 540 kilograms. But the soft tonneau now snaps on neatly rather than being attached with fiddly loops, while moveable tie-downs in the tray offer more versatility when securing loads.
A bit of a work in progress here, with twin airbags, anti-lock brakes and traction control standard but no stability control, though it is coming soon.
On the other hand, the availability of optional side airbags gives the XR8 an advantage over its Holden competitor, but you'll have to pay extra to get them.
The ute is yet to be assessed by the NCAP crash-test regime, but its predecessor rated a respectable four stars.
ENGINE: 6.0-litre V8. 270kW/530Nm, 14.0L/100km (a), 14.5L/100km (m), petrol, 333g/km (a), 345g CO2/km (m). SAFETY: Four-star NCAP rating. Two airbags, stability/traction control, ABS. WHAT IT'S GOT: Air-conditioning, cruise control, trip computer, CD player, 18-inch alloys. FOR: Looks tough, goes hard, great ride and handling, improved cabin practicality. AGAINST: No side or curtain airbags, VE cabin foibles OUR SCORE: 4/5. Price From $39,990.
ENGINE: 2.0-litre four-cylinder. 118kW/188Nm, 8.8L/100 km (a), 8.5L/100 km (m), petrol, 209g/km (a), 202g CO2/km (m) SAFETY: No NCAP rating. Four airbags, stability/traction control, ABS. WHAT IT'S GOT: Air-conditioning, cruise control, leather, six-stack CD player, 17-inch alloys FOR: Two-seater with supremely agile handling, sprightly performance, folding hardtop available, cheeky looks. AGAINST: Average refinement OUR SCORE: 4/5. Price From $42,870.
ENGINE: 4.0-litre supercharged V6. 225 kW/453 Nm: 12.9 L/100 km, petrol, 307 g CO2/km SAFETY: Four-star NCAP rating. Two airbags, ABS. WHAT IT'S GOT: Air-conditioning, cruise control, CD player, 17-inch alloys. FOR: Hefty grunt, twin-cab practicality, real off-road ability AGAINST: Not cheap, crude road manners, bouncy ride, skimpy safety OUR SCORE: 3.5/5 225 kW/453 Nm: 12.9 L/100 km, petrol, 307 g CO2/km SAFETY: Four-star NCAP rating. Two airbags, ABS. WHAT IT'S GOT: Air-conditioning, cruise control, CD player, 17-inch alloys. FOR: Hefty grunt, twin-cab practicality, real off-road ability AGAINST: Not cheap, crude road manners, bouncy ride, skimpy safety OUR SCORE: 3.5/5. Price From $59,990.
Overall verdict
At the lower end of the range, working types will find the ute's Commodore-busting payload hard to resist.
The case for the XR8 isn't quite so clear-cut. Poor surfaces expose the suspension's lack of sophistication, a shortcoming not really balanced by its paltry 32 kilogram payload advantage over its direct Commodore rival. The (temporary) lack of stability control is another big blemish.
Ultimately, though, the XR8 ute's many improvements and immense charm are enough to outweigh such concerns. It looks good, sounds great and rings most of the right performance and handling bells, and for many buyers that will be enough.

I used to love journaling when I was a little girl. I still have several notebooks filled with poems, stories, and drawings that I made throughout my teenage years. Even in my adult years I find myself getting the urge to do some journaling now and again, and with all the tools available on the market today, the art of journaling and keeping a diary has gone from a little spiral bound notebook into a full color mini scrapbook, complete with photos, clippings, embellishments, and much more.
To help inspire you on your creative journey, Faber-Castell has come out with a Creative Journaling kit, filled with everything you could possibly need to start creating your mixed media diary. Not only does this kit contain study chipboard and paper for your journaling, but it also comes with a variety of PITT Artist Pens, Art GRIP Aquarelle Watercolor Pencils, craft glue, binder rings, and an idea deck with 12 double-sided cards chock full with dozens of ideas and illustrated how-to techniques for creative journaling. Each one of these cards describes the products contained in the kit and offers suggestions and tips on how to use them in your journaling. Geared towards crafters age 15 and over, this kit is all you need to help you jump back into the age old hobby of journaling.
This complete kit contains everything you need to create a 12 page journal plus lots of ideas, extra materials and fun techniques that can be used on all your paper crafting projects. This is a great gift to give the teenager in your life, or use the kit to create a journal for a loved one or friend. Create a journal about a camping trip, a family vacation, a beloved family pet, or create a one of a kind family tree album, designating one page to each member of your family.
If you're someone who loved to journal or still does, this kit can help you take your journaling to a whole new level. Experiment with color, design, and style to create a memory book that will last you for years to come.

By now you've gathered that Marin is, largely, a starch and butter-free zone, so it's ironic that it's also home to one of the most decadent desserts I've had in recent memory. The Tanariva chocolate square boggles the mind in construction and richness: Caramelized milk chocolate is tucked inside mousse-like layers of chocolate cream, topped with hazelnut brittle, creme fraiche, and edible gold leaf. I can hardly imagine ordering anything else, but if you do, the warm brown butter and rhubarb tart is a good bet.
Ever wished that bars would return to making cocktails with fewer than six components? Then you'll appreciate that one of the cornerstones of the bar program here is the periodic table of gin and tonic, a novel idea and a hard-to-pass-up option on a sweltering day. Pick your top-shelf gin, whether it be Death's Door, Voyager, or Edinburgh, and your aromatic — lavender, lemon verbena, rosemary, and several others — many of which come right from those same patio garden boxes, to blend with house-made tonic. The results were strong and splendid, but a definite special order at $14 a pop. Inside, the cocktail menu focuses on fruitier champagne cocktails and the most killer truffled peach (a unique item from Southern Italy that's kind of like an olive but crisper and pit-free) martini, created by head mixologist Mike Rasmussen.
Overall Marin seems to have the same fingerprint as some of the other pre-theater fine dining options on this stretch of Hennepin, but its lines are a little smoother and its delivery a bit more direct. Customers, I think, will appreciate Marin's transparency when it comes to the fat, fiber, and calories listed right on the main menu (notably absent on the dessert menu), but because of that may expect it to be all healthy and earthy and organic-feeling, which it's not. In the end, it may prove to be an insignificant conflict of ideals, and anyway it's much harder to argue these things when your mouth is full of chocolate and gold leaf.

Wizards sign guard Boykins
Updated: November 12, 2009, 10:15 AM ETBy Marc Stein | ESPN.com
The injury-hit Washington Wizards have turned to Earl Boykins to bolster their depleted backcourt, signing the veteran guard Wednesday.
Mired in a 2-6 start and plagued by numerous health issues, Washington targeted Boykins to help them get through an injury crisis that has felled Randy Foye (ankle), Javaris Crittenton (foot) and Mike James (hand) in the backcourt alone.
Washington waived forward/center Paul Davis to make roster room for Boykins, who will be reunited with Wizards mainstays ...

AP IMPACT: NYC flood protection won't be easy
Monday - 11/26/2012, 4:10pm EST
By ADAM GELLER
AP National Writer
NEW YORK (AP) - Inside tunnels threading under a Houston medical campus, 100 submarine doors stand ready to block invading floodwaters. Before commuters in Bangkok can head down into the city's subways, they must first climb three feet of stairs to raised entrances, equipped with flood gates. In Washington, D.C., managers of a retail and apartment complex need just two hours to activate steel walls designed to hold back as much as a 17-foot rise in the Potomac River.
If metropolitan New York is going to defend itself from surges like the one that overwhelmed the region during Superstorm Sandy, decision makers can start by studying how others have fought the threat of fast-rising water. And they must accept an unsettling reality: Limiting the damage caused by flooding will likely demand numerous changes, large and small, and yet even substantial protections will be far from absolute.
Sandy's toll is overwhelming. But finding the money and political will to build a proposed system of giant storm barriers at the mouth of New York Harbor will likely be very difficult. Even at a cost of up to $27 billion, such barriers would leave large parts of the region unprotected.
So government, businesses and property owners will need to consider taking smaller steps _ on land _ to minimize the impact of flooding, with or without sea barriers.
The good news is that many cities have already learned much about how to limit the damage from floods. Researchers are working on still other strategies, like 16-foot-wide inflatable plugs being developed at West Virginia University to seal off subways and tunnels from water.
But there's no single cure-all.
"You really have to go with a series of levels of protection. You can't just buy into one engineer's dream of building" a 5-mile-long barrier for New York Harbor, said Phil Bedient, a flood expert at Houston's Rice University whose research was key to shoring up that city's defenses after it was swamped by Tropical Storm Allison in 2001. "So you have to pick your spots carefully. And you really can't protect everything."
Sandy's destruction in the New York area highlights a host of weaknesses that must be addressed, experts said. But the region's size, density and geography will complicate the task.
"It's hard to predict what's going to happen, where it's going to happen and what magnitude, and that leads to a quandary of what makes sense to do," said William Coulbourne, a Delaware structural engineer specializing in flood plain design and construction. "New York City is unique in the number of people who live there, the age of the buildings, that it's on islands and it's a hub of U.S. commerce."
That could force people to make trade-offs they might have been unwilling to consider before Sandy. When city officials met with real estate and construction industry representatives starting in 2008 to look at making New York buildings more environmentally efficient, the conversation included whether to move flood-prone electrical equipment out of basements in apartment buildings and office towers to higher floors, said Rohit "Rit" Aggarwala, former director of the city's Office of Long-Term Planning and Sustainability.
"One of the people from the real estate industry said, `Rit, you're crazy. That's rentable space up on those floors,' Aggarwala said. "That's the problem of thinking in the near-term of losing revenue vs. the long-term certainty of needing it."
Now New York needs a wide-ranging discussion, considering not just how to limit damage to high-rise districts like lower Manhattan that are critical to the region's function, but about whether and how to rebuild in residential neighborhoods along the shoreline, said Larry Buss, a recently retired hydrologic engineer for the Army Corps of Engineers who for many years led its committee on non-structural flood proofing.
"If you're thinking long-term," said Buss, who worked with communities along the Gulf of Mexico to build flood resilience after Hurricane Katrina, "you've got to use all the tools in your toolbox."
In the search for answers, few places may offer as many lessons as Houston's Texas Medical Center campus, which is bisected by a bayou and was swamped by intense rains in a 2001 storm. When Ed Tucker, the center's senior vice president of planning and development, watched televised footage of rescuers carrying critically ill patients down the darkened stairwells of New York hospitals during Sandy, he was struck by a terrible thought: He had seen it all before.
The floods in Houston caused a blackout, inundated medical center streets with up to 9 feet of water, and forced evacuations of patients from the district's 6,900 hospital beds, some airlifted from rooftops by helicopter. The campus sustained more than $2 billion in damage.

Id say ease back into eating carbs, but that's just me im a pro carb guy. Carbs have gotten a terrible wrap over the past few decades because of all the processed foods that came along when really if you really focus on the complex carbs our grandparents grew up with there some of the most beneificial foods out there. Carbs help to break down fat, carbs are our main source of energy via ATP production and provide tons of nutrients not found in most protein based foods, There also essential for muscle growth. So many positives and the negatives we think are out there, the fat gain specifically is ludacris choose the right carbs and you'll see better results then no carbs.
Thanks man, I may start with really low glycemic index vegetables and then go with sweet potato for the majority of my carbs. I'm going to start creatine in about a month so I guess I'll have lots of carbs with that.
I agree with jumpshot! Our bodies, and especially our brains, need the glucose from carbs. carbohydrates do a get a bad rap and for no reason! they are good for you, as long as you are keeping your carbohydrates 100% whole wheat and complex carbohydrates, no white bread, enriched flours! I would also say ease back into them, and just watch your portions sizes of course, don't over do it and you'll be fine!

I agree with Jumpshot and Jentry. Just never neglect your fibrous carbs like broccoli, kale, etc. So good for you... all kinds of side benefits like broccoli has anti-estrogenic properties, Randy Couture used to swear by Kale in helping his recovery time.... either way though, if you don't want to eat them raw or steam them get a really good blender and throw them in when you're blending up your protein powder, flax oil, some blueberries, a little greek yogurt.... yummmmm

At "Views," however, many of these films fall victim to curatorial excess. Past attendees are familiar with the sidebar's notorious reputation for burying small films in relentlessly overlong, unvaried programs with triple-digit running times. Still, spectators who make sure to score some Ritalin before the show will be rewarded with pleasant discoveries.
Bay Area filmmaker José Rodriguez stands out as one of the more original younger talents on view, represented with seven black-and-white shorts (some attributed to José Luis Duarte). His trance-films traffic in bad-dream symbolism and Latino-Catholic iconography: a strange marriage of Maya Deren and Coffin Joe, both loco y doloroso. In the simple Homesick, a camera shuffles through a grassy field to find a naked infant boy, crying, lost, and alone. Silence of the Bride is a fucked-up family movie, featuring a young woman in a white wedding dress staring blankly out a window (not unlike Deren does in Meshes of the Afternoon), her weatherbeaten teenager photos, and a mournful Hammond organ score. Theresa is a black-dressed woman, bird corpse in hand, walking in pumps across a damp embankment, until she tumbles flatly into the mud. In one untitled film, another woman in black hands a horror-movie knife to a sorrowful little girl in a white communion dress. Also untitled, an obscene orifice-plunging cut-out animation of men's photos mixed with Rodriguez's own spit and semen shows tiny knives cutting into asses and mouths.
Sex acts and multiple cuttingthough lighthearted and colorfulalso appear in two found-footage collaborations by Thomas Draschan and Ulrich Wiesner. The sex is second-hand, supplied by shots from fading pink-bound porn flicks, jumbled together with industrials, commercials, driver's-ed films, and scenes from Bewitched. The shorter Yes? Oui? Ja? is set to the rhythms of a mod Euro-ditty, while Metropolis of Recklessness creates its own staccato beats from fuzzy, popping splices in the 16mm soundstrip.
A more somberly modernist German investigation into American art is provided by Heinz Emigholz's Sullivan's Banks. Subtitled Architecture as Autobiography, the film documents early-20th-century buildings designed by Louis Sullivan after he had turned from urban skyscrapers to small-town banks and municipal structures. Emigholz presents static, wordless shots of incongruously elaborate buildings like the National Farmer's Bank in Owatonna, Minnesota, and the Land and Loan Office of Algona, Iowa, their tarnished Art Nouveau Celtic embellishments now surrounded by zooming cars and corporate logos.
As usual, "Views" is heavy on premieres of new works from old masters. This edition features regulars Abigail Child, Ken Jacobs, Stan Brakhage, Mark LaPore, and Luther Price, as well as rarer notables like Kenneth Anger, Owen Land, Gunvor Nelson, and Ernie Gehr. Sure-shot Nathaniel Dorsky, sly collector of silent, charged moments that build to an emotional tipping point, brings his latest, The Visitation. A climax comes with a shot of a deep blue sky seen through a pair of glasses. At that moment, one wonders which is more immense: the physical universe, or our imagination's single, tiny, perfect view of the same.

Nevada Development Authority Targets Chicago With Advertising Campaign
LAS VEGAS, March 11, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Known for its attention-grabbing ad campaigns in Southern California and New Jersey, the Nevada Development Authority is now targeting business owners in Chicago, inviting them to make a move to the Silver State. In response to significant income and corporate tax increases in Illinois, the Las Vegas-based economic diversification agency launched ads on Chicago television stations, prompting executives to consider Nevada's two favorable climates: warm weather and pro-business conditions.
The new ads focus on the 67 percent increase in state income tax and 45 percent increase in the corporate tax recently passed by the Illinois legislature, pushing the state into the nation's 10 highest corporate tax environments.
"Nevada is a great place to live and has the best business climate in the country," said NDA President and Chief Executive Officer Somer Hollingsworth. "Illinois businesses now have to offset the state's budget shortfall through massive tax increases. We want Chicago business owners to know that, regardless of the economy, the infrastructure that made Nevada a great place to do business is still here, and that our commitment to keeping it that way is as strong as ever."
The 30-second television ads join a portfolio of discernible advertising, publicity and grassroots strategies the NDA has aimed at tax-burdened states to attract new businesses to Nevada.
Hollingsworth and the NDA are expecting the ads to convey to Illinois executives that Nevada wants their business, can accommodate their companies and their needs, and can assist them with relocation and growth.
The Nevada Development Authority attracts companies to Southern Nevada that diversify, expand and nurture the business environment to enhance the overall socioeconomic development of our community. For more information, call 702.791.0000, or visit www.nevadadevelopment.org or www.move2vegas.biz.

10 Hudson Yards (also called the South Tower or Tower C[2]) is an office building currently under construction[3] in Manhattan's West Side. Located near Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea and the Penn Station area, the building is a part of the Hudson Yards urban renewal project, a plan to redevelop the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's West Side Yards. Because Coach, Inc. is the anchor tenant, the tower is occasionally informally called the 'Coach Tower'; the name is not used in any official documents.[4]
Hudson Yards, conceived through a large master plan by Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates, is expected to consist of 16 skyscrapers containing more than 12,700,000 square feet (1,180,000 m2) of new office, residential, and retail space. Among its components will be six million square feet (560,000 m2) of commercial office space, a 750,000-square-foot (70,000 m2) retail center with two levels of restaurants, cafes, markets and bars, a hotel, a cultural space, about 5,000 residences, a 750-seat school, and 14 acres (5.7 ha) of public open space. 10 Hudson Yards, the first building on the site, is expected to help draw visitors to the area.[5]
Groundbreaking for 10 Hudson Yards occurred on December 4, 2012.[3][2] Foundation work continued through the first half of 2013 and the superstructure work began on the tower in August 2013.[6] During excavation work, 70,000 cubic yards (54,000 m3) of soil have been removed and 11,000 cubic yards (8,400 m3) of concrete have been poured.[7] The contract to construct the tower was awarded to a subsidiary of Tutor Perini in March 2013.[8] The tower is the first tower in the Hudson Yards complex to be built, because it is the only Hudson Yards tower not on the artificial platform over the West Side Yards.[9]
As of March 2014[update], 10 Hudson Yards has risen more than 100 feet (30 m).[10] As of February 2015[update], 10 Hudson Yards is 27 stories tall.[11]
The southern facade of 10 Hudson Yards cantilevers over the 30th Street spur of the High Line, and one of the building's entrances is to be located on the High Line.[7] The architects who designed 10 Hudson Yards was Kohn Pedersen Fox.[7][12][13]
The building is anchored by Coach, Inc., who will have 737,774 square feet (68,541 m2) on floors 9 to 24 within the tower.[14][7] Additional occupants include L'Oreal USA[15][7] and SAP,[7] occupying 402,000 square feet (37,300 m2) and 115,000 square feet (10,700 m2), respectively.[16] Fairway, a locally-based grocer, is expected to build a store in the lower floors of the building, occupying 45,875 square feet (4,262 m2).[7][17]
There will also be retail space at ground level, in the as-of-yet unnamed five-story, 750,000 square feet (70,000 m2) retail building immediately to the north of 10 Hudson Yards, possibly including department stores and a movie theater. The space will be designed by Elkus Manfredi Architects.[18]

We had a wonderful week at your LaMotte Retreat Home - beautiful setting and very comfortable
We had a great week on Lake Champlain. The weather was perfect and every evening
we looked at a gorgeous sunset! Everyone enjoyed the water, and it was a good week to
Be refreshed by the lake. The kids played on the rafts, went fishing & kayaking.
Every evening we had some great meals that we all took turns preparing. We used the herbs from the garden that added a lot of great flavor to our meals. The owner of the Maya
Center was very hospitable. She wanted her guests to be as comfortable as possible.
This place is very roomy, loved all the porches! It is a great house for a large group, you
Can always find a place to relax. We would recommend this place to any family who
enjoys having lots of room& wants a cozy setting! Best part is the Lake is right in front
of the House to enjoy at your leisure!
A beautiful well taken care of home with the most amazing views on Lake Champlain. Lots of space in this home! We had plenty of space for 18 people. If you are looking for peace and tranquility then this is the place!
I would highly recommend booking your stay and enjoying a peaceful restorative getaway or vacation. We just finished a 5 day stay and WOW WOW WOW!!!!
The property is excellent, rather you wish to simple experience a single room, or rent the whole property, attention to detail and your comfort is felt throughout.
The location offers the best of the best: a small Island on Lake Champlain, Northern Vermont (Burlington is close by), Upstate New York and only miles from the jewel of Quebec, Montreal.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Maya Center and would have been happy to stay on a few more days. The property is well maintained and lovely. The owner was so very helpful in every way and the food was excellent. I would highly recommend it for a special event, a social gathering or just a getaway. We look forward to returning again soon.
This delightful retreat is located on beautiful Lake Champlain. I feel so blessed to have heard about it and get the opportunity to spend three days there. During those three days I received the best massage I've ever had, as well as Reiki, meditation, restorative yoga and aromatherapy, ate the most amazingly healthy gourmet meals, enjoyed walks on the gorgeous grounds and the beach, picked apples from the backyard orchard, while enjoying my own private room filled with antiques, and relaxed in a whirlpool bathtub. There are two houses with beautiful rooms and I was fortunate to stay in the main house with friends. Jeanette is the most wonderful cook and hostess, and she made us all feel right at home. I would highly recommend a stay here, whether you are in need of a healing retreat as I was, or just want to get away for a few days to relax. The rates are very reasonable, and I plan to return again and again.
We rented the property (the main and the carriage house) for a family reunion with family members traveling from afar. It was a perfect place for us to stay. The house was clean, comfortably furnished and had plenty of room and space for all 20 family members. We loved all of the screened porches, particularly having morning coffee on the front porch. The back porch is enclosed and was great for our large family meals together. Safe too -as the kids could run around while we were in back grilling. We also rented the carriage house which gave us two more kitchens and lots more space for everyone. We had a great time boating, canoeing, walking, biking. The short distance to Montreal made day trips easy. It is a superb place for large family get togethers!

This years 3rd annual Classic will feature "twilight criterium racing" high speed racing after work and after dark.
"Introducing twilight racing to the Elmhurst Cycling Classic is going to increase the excitement factor in Elmhurst on race day," said Race Director Tim Radcliff. "Not only will 4 of the fastest races occur after 5pm, allowing more spectators to see the action, the professional men will actually be racing the course under the stars. Twilight racing is among the most exciting and well-attended type of cycling event in the country. The community and racers really love it. Elmhurst is unique in that it has all the right ingredients for successful twilight racing."
Co-Director Kevin York, also a Fourth Ward alderman in Elmhurst, added, "Our goal has always been to bring a wonderful event to Elmhurst that brings the community together after work on a Friday in summer - for barbeques, food vendors, beverages and racing.
