From the No Republican Ever Lost a Gubernatorial Primary Vote by Slamming the RI General Assembly Department: Cranston Mayor Allan Fung blasted the Assembly in a campaign press release today, saying the annual late rush to legislation created too many ``missed opportunities for Rhode Island.''
Nuala Pell, widow of revered Sen. Claiborne Pell, confidante of Pastores, Kennedys and European royalty, a force in Rhode Island politics for decades and a woman who was as at ease at a Democratic Party rally at a Portuguese Club as she was with the well-born swells of Newport society at Bailey's Beach, died early this morning at Newport Hospital. She was 89.
The Pell family has announced a memorial service to be held Monday, April 21 at Trinity Episcopal Church in Newport, at 11 a.m.
Just when we thought we knew that next year's Democratic gubernatorial primary field was set, it suddenly was not. RIPR political analyst Scott MacKay talks about the Clay Pell factor.
Herbert Claiborne `Clay' Pell IV is a scion of a storied Rhode Island political family. He's the grandson of U.S. Sen. Claiborne Pell, a quirky, even eccentric politician who nonetheless never lost an election in six terms, despite facing the toughest opponents our small state could muster.

Nathuram Vinayak Godse (19 May 1910 – 15 November 1949) was a militant Hindu nationalist organizer in India, who is known for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. He shot Gandhi in the chest three times at point-blank range on 30 January 1948 in New Delhi. Born in Pune, Maharashtra, he had been a member of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh and Hindu Mahasabha. He left RSS in the early 1940s to form a militant organization Hindu Rashtra Dal.[1][2] He resented Gandhi's accommodating attitude to India's Muslims and plotted the assassination with Narayan Apte and six others. After a trial that lasted over a year, Godse was sentenced to death on 8 November 1949 and was hanged a week later.
Early life
Nathuram Vinayakrao Godse was born, at the nativity mission center, Pune District. His father, Vinayak Vamanrao Godse, was a post office employee and his mother was Lakshmi (née Godavari). At birth, he was named Ramachandra.[3] Nathuram was given his name because of an unfortunate incident. Before he was born, his parents had three sons and a daughter, with all three boys dying in their infancy. Fearing a curse that targeted male children, young Ramachandra was brought up as a girl for the first few years of his life, including having his nose pierced and being made to wear a nose-ring (nath in Marathi). It was then that he earned the nickname "Nathuram" (literally "Ram with a nose-ring"). After his younger brother was born, they switched to treating him as a boy.[4]
Godse attended the local school at Baramati through the fifth standard, after which he was sent to live with an aunt in Pune so that he could study at an English-language school. During his school days, he highly respected Gandhi.[5] In 1930, Nathuram's father was transferred to the town of Ratnagiri, Maharashtra.
Political career
Godse dropped out of high school and became an activist with Hindu nationalist organizations Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Hindu Mahasabha, although there have been doubts about the exact years of his membership.[6][7] The Hindu Mahasabha had at one time backed Gandhi's campaigns of civil disobedience against the British government but stayed away from the Quit India Movement in the 1940s. Both the organisations were opposed to the separatist politics of the All India Muslim League.
Godse started a Marathi newspaper for the Hindu Mahasabha called Agrani, which some years later was renamed Hindu Rashtra. Godse rejected Gandhi's philosophy, believing Gandhi repeatedly sabotaged the interests of Hindus by using the "fasting unto death" tactic on many issues. In Godse's view, Gandhi was giving in to Muslim interests in ways that seemed unfair and anti-national.[8][9]
Assassination of Mahatma Gandhi
Godse approached Gandhi on January 30, 1948 during the evening prayer at 5:17 PM. When Godse bowed, one of the girls flanking and supporting Gandhi, said to Godse, "Brother, Bapu is already late" and tried to put him off, but he pushed her aside and shot Gandhi in the chest three times at point-blank range with a Beretta M 1934 semi-automatic pistol. Gandhi was taken to Birla House, where he later died.[10]
Trial and execution
Following the assassination of Gandhi, Godse was put on trial at Peterhoff, Shimla which housed the Punjab High Court. On November 8, 1949, he was sentenced to death. Among those calling for commutation of the death sentence for the defendants were Jawaharlal Nehru, as well as two of Gandhi's sons, who felt that executing their father's killer would dishonor his memory and legacy which included a staunch opposition to the death penalty. Godse was hanged at Ambala Jail on November 15, 1949,[11] along with Narayan Apte, a co-conspirator. Savarkar was also charged with conspiracy in the assassination of Gandhi, but was acquitted and subsequently released.
Millions of Indians mourned Gandhi's assassination; the Hindu Mahasabha was vilified and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh was temporarily banned. However, investigators could find no evidence that the RSS bureaucracy had formally sponsored or even knew of Godse's plot. The ban on the RSS was lifted in 1949. To this day it denies any connection with Godse and disputes the claim that he was a member.[7] However, Godse's brother Gopal claims that all the Godse brothers were members of the RSS at the time of the assassination.[12]
Attempts at rehabilitation
In 2014, following the Bharatiya Janata Party's rise to power, the Hindu Mahasabha has begun to make various attempts to rehabilitate Godse and portray him as a patriot. It has requested the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to install the bust of Godse. It has created a documentary film Desh Bhakt Nathuram Godse (Patriot Nathuram Godse) for release on the death anniversary of Gandhi on 30 January 2015.[13] There are also attempts to build a temple for Godse and to celebrate 30 January as a Shaurya Diwas ("Bravery Day").[14] A civil suit has been filed in Pune Court asking for a ban on the documentary film.[15]

Quelling doubts over the legal standing the post-mortem examination report on the gang-rape victim prepared by the Singaporean team, experts here are of the opinion that there is no reason why it will not be admissible as evidence in a Delhi court.
While the post-mortem report, comprising all details including the nature of injuries, will be prepared by the Singaporean team, police sources said the document could be attested by Indian High Commission authorities and supplied to a board of doctors here to determine the cause of death on the basis of information so shared.
"I have never examined such a case… It is an unprecedented situation. However, at first blush there is no reason why it should not be admissible in the court here. The reason being that the victim has a medical history prepared by doctors at a Delhi hospital, which comes under the court jurisdiction. On the basis of the same report, her treatment was carried forward at the Singapore hospital," said an eminent criminal lawyer.
Concurring that the case was indeed one-of-its-kind, another prominent Delhi High Court lawyer said both logically and legally the post-mortem report will be admissible under our legal system.
"In the chain of sequence, first comes the report on the medical condition of the victim prepared by the doctors in Delhi. Cause of death is the subsequent event. It is on the report of the Delhi hospital doctors from which references will be drawn on what and why anything happened with the victim and what led to her death. The fact that she lost her life is because 'something' happened to her. As has been reported, she suffered a cardiac arrest, which was a fallout of the injuries inflicted during the barbaric assault on her by the accused. Her condition deteriorated midway while she was under the supervision of Indian doctors has also to be factored in." He said a similar situation could arise in deaths on foreign vessels out of the country's jurisdiction, in which also the post-mortem report will be admissible.
On legal front as well, the post-mortem report will hold evidentiary value as although in a foreign country it has been prepared by a team of qualified medical experts.
"They will come under the definition of an expert under Section 45 of the Evidence Act. Through the test of equivalence, it is ascertained whether degrees held by doctors in Singapore are recognised in India. If yes, the documents prepared by them are admissible and can personally depose before an Indian court as experts or through video-conferencing or their statement can be recorded through a panel."
Under Section 45 of the Evidence Act "when the court has to form an opinion upon a point of foreign law, or of science, or art, or as to identity of handwriting or finger impressions, opinions upon that point of persons specially skilled in such foreign law, science or art, or in questions as to identity of handwriting or finger impressions are relevant facts. Such persons are called experts".
Refusing to comment on any particular case, eminent lawyer Najmi Waziri said in the prevailing circumstances, the credibility of the criminal justice system in the eyes of the public is at stake. He said all the components — the police through investigations, the prosecution and the judiciary — will have to demonstrate that the system delivers. What is on test, is the people's faith in the system, he added.

The Court discusses the Facebook application:
The plaintiff set his privacy options to limit access to his posted material to "friends". The defence was, therefore, not able to view what was posted.
The state of the law was summarized as follows:
But what about production of access-limited information?
The issue was addressed in the earlier case of Murphy v. Perger, [2007] O.J. No. 5511 (S.C.J.) where the Court ordered production of "copies of the web pages posted on her private site, subject to the ability of plaintiff's counsel to make future submissions in the event that any of the photographs personally embarrassed the plaintiff."
The Court in Leduc summarized the production obligation when dealing with social networking sites:
The Court then followed the approach in Murphy:
In those circumstances, "A party who maintains a private, or limited access, Facebook profile stands in no different position than one who sets up a publicly-available profile. Both are obliged to identify and produce any postings that relate to any matter in issue in an action."
This is not a fishing expedition and the Rules of Civil procedure require that the party seeking production must present "some evidence that a party possesses a relevant document before a court can order production." The Court gives some advice on how to go about this:
The general nature of the Facebook service is such that a court could infer, the "likely existence of relevant documents on a limited-access Facebook profile."
This is a very important case for those who practice in the area of employment law.
For example, an employee is terminated, sues and claims damages for wrongful dismissal. Mitigation is always an issue in these cases. If the former employee maintains a Facebook account or participates in other social-networking sits (MySpace or the increasingly popular Twitter) the contents of those sites may be highly relevant to that issue.
There are enumerable examples but defence counsel should not overlook this important source of information on discovery and through the litigation and investigation, and plaintiff counsel will be well advised to consider this case when advising their client and preparing their Affidavit of Documents.

As of the morning of June 9th, the Reds are 5 games back of the Cardinals with 99 games left in the season.
It's not a surprise that the Cards, Brewers and Reds are the group leading the division, but it is a bit frustrating that the Reds are the team chasing both the Cards and Brewcrew and they only lead the Pirates by half a game. Who would've thought the Ms would have a better record than the Reds at this point? That said, clearly there is alot of baseball to be played.
Five games may seem like a huge deficit to some and maybe not a big deal to others. It's just a number without some type of context that helps inform the size of the task it'll take to overcome it...
Here's the context I use- if the Cards go 50-49 the rest of the way (essentially playing .500 ball, a threshold that they certainly are capable of surpassing), the Reds would have to go 55-44 the rest of the way to tie (.556 ball).
Going into the season, I thought the Reds were likely an 85-86 win true talent team (.525-.530 ball) based upon the 2011 projection thread and barring injuries which would suggest they'd likely go 52-47 the rest of the way.
Being back 5 games is not an insurmountable deficit in and of itself and given the talent on their roster, there is no reason to panic or start wondering if the Reds should be sellers. But it's quickly becoming a time where the Reds need to get cranking because without additions to the roster, they're digging a hole that will be very difficult to climb out of IMHO....
Shortstop, left field, and the rotation are positions that could be upgraded meaningfully. Third base has been a problem but Rolen likely isn't going to be replaced IMHO. Phillips has struggled at the plate for the better part of his last 150 PAs. One would hope he'd be closer to a league average hitter going forward so that should improve.
But absent guys going on a tear or additions via trade, it's starting to get to a point where the Reds are going to need others to falter (i.e. their destiny may not be completely in their own hands).
Thoughts? Discussion?

Kent State Presents Seminar on the "New Normal" on June 17Posted Jun, 9, 2010
The Succession Planning Program at Kent State University, the Goering Center for Family and Private Business, and South Metro Regional Chamber of Commerce have assembled a leading team of advisors to present a business planning seminar for small-and medium-sized companies. The session will address the "new normal," the changed expectations for businesses in the current recessionary economic climate. The session will be held on Thursday, June 17, at the Crowne Plaza in Cincinnati.
"There is a great deal of uncertainty in the economy these days," said Roy Messing, program coordinator of Kent State's Succession Planning Program. "No one really knows what is going to happen in their industry or in the economy as a whole. We have entered into a new economic cycle. Now is the time to take control of the parts of your company that you can manage and optimize the position of your business when the economy does stabilize."
Panel discussions will address strategies to enhance the value of businesses in the "new normal" and funding sources for firms in the current economy.
"The tools and techniques provided in this session will help business owners develop plans to navigate in this new economic climate," said Jay Simecek of Kent State's Succession Planning Program. "Whether a business owner is looking to pursue long-term growth or a transition in ownership, the key to their success will reside in their business planning process. With these tools businesses can not only survive in the current economy, they can thrive."
The speakers at the event include:
• David Engle, a principal with The Malibu Group, a business advisory group that helps business owners improve their companies, prepare for sale, prepare for growth or plan for their future
• Nick Sypniewski, director of operations for the Cincinnati office of Comstock Valuation Advisors Inc., a business valuation and financial advisory firm
• Mark A. Signorelli, managing partner of Cincinnati Growth Partners, a middle market investment banking firm that drives and supports firms' growth initiatives and succession planning
• Roy Messing, program coordinator of the Succession Planning Program at Kent State, a non-profit center that specializes in employee ownership and exit planning
This session will be held at the Crowne Plaza Cincinnati/Blue Ash at 5901 Pfeiffer Road. The cost for the seminar is $40, which includes lunch. Pre-registration is preferred but not required. Registration on June 17 will start at 8:30 a.m. with the welcome and continental breakfast starting at 9 a.m. Panels will start at 10 a.m.
The Succession Planning Program at Kent State is a program of the Ohio Employee Ownership Center and is funded in part by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
For more information or to register for the seminar, contact Roy Messing or Chris Cooper at 330-672-3028, firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Some people think that love is really complicated. It is really not that complicated at all. Some people describe love as a mystery. It's an emotion but love is not that much of a mystery.
When you are in love with someone you cannot control who it is. As the saying goes "The heart wants with the heart wants." Someone could be the opposite of your type but if you really love him you will not care.
The Science behind love is that it is more than just affection. It is about the bonding between two people. It is a feeling and it is a wonderful feeling because being in love creates better health and more happiness.
When you love someone things are different. If one of your friends cancels on you, you get disappointed but you get over it. It a guy cancels on you it could ruin your day. You feel upset and feel that you are second place to him. You feel this way because you love him and you want to matter to him.
Love is about the bonding between two people. Two people who love each other share an amazing bond with each other. They care so much about each other and if the love is strong nothing and no one could break that bond.
Love is a great feeling and it is out there for everyone. When you are in love you experience a boost of confidence and everyone could see the difference in you. It could be easier to wake up in the morning and you will get better sleep at night. You will have more energy in the day and life will just be better in general.
If you have not found the one you love yet, don't worry. When the time is right you will meet that special someone.

Gregory-Portland grad Hayley Emerick named conference's woman of year
Emerick is a four-time All-American at Trinity University
CORPUS CHRISTI - Gregory-Portland graduate Hayley Emerick was named the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference Woman of the Year.
The Trinity University All-America diver also is the conference's nominee for NCAA Woman of the Year, to be honored Oct. 16 at a dinner in Indianapolis.
The NCAA Woman of the Year Award honors graduating student-athletes who have distinguished themselves throughout their collegiate careers in the areas of academic achievement, athletics excellence, community service, and leadership.
The top three finalists, from each NCAA division, will be selected in September.
Emerick, who earned a bachelor's degree from Trinity in business administration (marketing) last month, is a four-time All-American. Last March, Emerick competed in the NCAA Division III Swimming and Diving Championships, and finished as runner-up on the 1-meter and 3-meter boards.
In 2010, Emerick captured the national 3-meter diving title at the NCAA meet.
Emerick was honored as the SCAC Female Diver of the Year four straight times. She was a seven-time SCAC champion in the 1-meter and 3-meter events,
Last April, Emerick was awarded a prestigious $7,500 NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.
Emerick helped found a new business fraternity on campus, Delta Sigma Pi, and was also a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. She also was a member of Alpha Lambda Delta, an honor society.
The service-minded Emerick volunteered with many organizations during her time as a Trinity student. She worked with Habitat for Humanity, the YMCA, and the Food Bank of San Antonio, where she assisted with a community garden.
Emerick also worked with the Cross Cultural Solutions Volunteer Abroad in 2010 in Costa Rica. She helped with marketing development for a small business. Emerick also volunteered at an orphanage, and taught English at the local university.
She will join the information technology consulting firm of Cap Gemini in Houston. Emerick has later plans to earn an MBA.

For Preston Quam (H.M. @ 189) Signs with Purdue and many other topics visit HSWrestling.net
The Purdue wrestling team added a pair of standout wrestlers to its 2011 recruiting class last week inking University of North Carolina-Greensboro transfer Ivan Lopouchanski and 189-pound California native Preston Quam (H.M. @ 189). The two improve an already outstanding Class of 2011 and push the Boilermakers? recruiting total to eight.
Quam comes to Purdue from San Clemente, Calif., where he was a two-time California State High School placewinner for San Clemente High School. With just two years of wrestling experience under his belt, Quam has an extensive background in judo and martial arts. He has competed internationally in judo for several years, including the USA Judo Junior Olympics and the 2009 California State Games, where he was named Athlete of the Year.
In his first year of wrestling competition he claimed fifth at the California High School State Championships, marking the third-best finish in the history of San Clemente High School. He was even more outstanding in his senior campaign placing fifth at the Walsh Ironman National Tournament in Ohio (called one of the toughest high school tournaments in the nation), winning five tournaments in California, and placing second at the state championships at 189 pounds. En route to the state silver medal he topped 12th-ranked Lucas Sheridan, who is committed to attend archrival Indiana, before falling to nationally top-ranked Penn State-commit Morgan McIntosh (No. 1 @ 189) in the finals.
?We honestly have no idea how amazing Preston could be,? said Hinkel. ?To see the success he?s already achieved in just two years of wrestling illustrates how much potential there is for him to become a truly elite wrestler. We?re extremely excited to have him in our room as we are looking forward to not only the things we can teach him, but also the things he can teach us with his judo and martial arts background.?
Quam is projected to compete at 184 or 197 pounds for the Boilermakers next season. Lopouchanski and Quam join Indiana natives Drake Stein (H.M. @ 171), Doug (H.M. @ 152) and Chad Welch (H.M. @ 160) and Luke Schroeder, Illinois signee Danny Sabatello (No. 8 @ 125) and Rusty Maness (H.M. @ 130) from West Virginia.

September 2013- Thanks to the generosity of the Unicorn Children's Foundation and the United Way of Palm Beach County, 211's new "Special Needs HelpLine" officially launched September 1st. The staff at 211 hope to make a positive impact upon the lives of families with children and young adults (birth to 22) with special needs. Though detailed data on the number of families with children having special needs is hard to identify, the School District of Palm Beach County estimates that it serves approximately 28,000 children with disabilities in its Exceptional Student Education (ESE) program throughout its schools which translates into numerous families in need of services.

SCIENCE can be a surprisingly dangerous endeavour that involves performing risky experiments, attacking the status quo, provoking the wrath of colleagues, and new and hitherto unacceptable ways of thinking about the universe. It's not for the faint-hearted, as we single out some of the more colourful members of this perilous profession (see "Lab brats: Eight great scoundrels of science").
Some of our most successful scientists could justly be labelled as drug-takers, anti-authoritarian, brawlers, lawbreakers, liars, cheats and thieves. Highlighting the more iconoclastic side of science may help tap a new pool of much-needed talent. As we reported last year, extroverted schoolchildren tend to drop science subjects at the first opportunity. Though research often needs quiet, conscientious types, there is always room for rebels too.

On Saturday, September 20th at Back Space Toronto we announced the winners of the 2014 Joe Shuster Canadian Comic Book Creators.
Category Archives: Webcomic
The 2014 Joe Shuster Award Nominees / Les nominés pour le prix Joe Shuster 2014
The Joe Shuster Awards will be presented on Saturday, September 20th in Toronto, Ontario at BACK SPACE TORONTO, 587A College Street (2nd Floor). Ceremony will commence at 8 pm.
June 4, 2014 – Canada has a rich tradition of supporting our national arts communities with awards that recognize the achievements of our citizens like the Genie Awards for film and television and the Juno Awards for music – the JOE SHUSTER AWARD is Canada's national award that honours and raises the awareness of Canadians that create, self-publish and sell comics books, graphic novels and webcomics.
They are named after pioneering Canadian-born artist Joe Shuster (1914-1992), whose clear, dynamic style and inventive visual flourishes set the standard for graphic storytelling during the infancy of the North American comic book industry. It was Superman, a co-creation of Shuster and his friend Jerry Siegel, that electrified the industry over 75 years ago in 1938 and, almost overnight, transformed comic books into an enormous pop-cultural phenomenon.
Nominees were selected this spring from lists of creators of original works published and distributed during the year 2013. Qualifying creators must be Canadian citizens – living at home or abroad, or a recognized permanent resident. The award winners will be chosen by a jury vote to ensure every nominee is given adequate consideration.
And the nominees are: Continue reading
Late May update
Okay, so we're nearing the end of the extension given for the Retailer, Webcomics, Comics for Kids, and Gene Day Awards and if all goes as planned we'll be announcing the nominations next week.
I would like to thank the many folks who have contacted me about being involved in the awards this year, I'll be contacting you all shortly and we can begin planning for the ceremony and fundraising as soon as the nominations list goes public.
As usual, it should be stated that since these are awards with only 7 (sometimes 8) nominees per category, not everyone can be nominated for an award. Our committees have been narrowing down the lists to a smaller set of nominations (in some categories from hundreds of individual artists) and we know that inevitably some people will feel we neglected a creator, a book, or a store…
Congratulations to the winners of the Doug Wright Awards for 2014 (handed out as usual at TCAF in Mid-May) for non-mainstream, non-superhero comics:
Best Book – Paul Joins the Scouts by Michel Rabagliati (Conundrum Press)
Spotlight aka "The Nipper" – Steven Gilbert for The Journal of the Main Street Secret Lodge
Pigskin Peters (non-narrative) – "Out of Skin" by Emily Carroll
We have a near complete list of English and French creators ready and so we are initiating the nominating process and should have some announcements to make in time for Free Comic Book Day (May 3rd).
We'd like to thank all of the creators that sent in books for consideration for the Gene Day Award this year, we're still accepting submissions right up until May, so there's still time.
The Hall of Fame committee has initiated discussions on who will be included in 2014.
Congratulations to Jeff Lemire – in addition to writing Animal Man (now completed), Green Arrow and the upcoming Justice League United (formerly Canada, but set in Canada), Jeff will be writing Teen Titans: Earth One, an original graphic novel being illustrated by Terry and Rachel Dodson.
Happy New Year! 2014 marks 10 years of the Joe Shuster Canadian Comic Book Creator Awards
In Spring 2005 the first annual Joe Shuster Awards for Canadian Comic Book Creators was held at the Paradise Comics Toronto Comicon and a lot of great books and talent have been honoured over the decade since then.
As 2013 draws to a close, please join us as we present an overview of 9 years worth of Joe Shuster Award Winners.

The 2013 Joe Shuster Award Nominees / Les nominés pour le prix Joe Shuster 2013
Full list of 2013 Nominees / La liste complète des nominés 2013
Canada has a rich tradition of supporting our national arts communities with awards that recognize the achievements of our citizens like the Genie Awards for film and television and the Juno Awards for music – the JOE SHUSTER AWARD is Canada's national award that honours and raises the awareness of Canadians that create, self-publish and sell all kinds of comics, graphic novels and webcomics.
They are named after pioneering Canadian-born artist Joe Shuster (1914-1992), whose clear, dynamic style and inventive visual flourishes set the standard for graphic storytelling during the infancy of the North American comic book industry. It was Superman, a co-creation of Shuster and his friend Jerry Siegel, that electrified the industry 75 years ago in 1938 and, almost overnight, transformed comic books into an enormous pop-cultural phenomenon.
Nominees were selected this spring from lists of creators including all eligible original works published and distributed during the year 2012. Qualifying creators must be Canadian citizens living at home or abroad, as well as permanent residents in Canada. The award winners will be chosen by a jury vote to ensure every nominee is given adequate consideration.
The awards will be presented at a gala ceremony in Toronto, open to the public, on the evening of Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 8:30 PM. This year the awards will be held in JACKMAN HALL, at the Art Gallery of Ontario, 317 Dundas Street West, Toronto.
And the nominees are:
Award season continues — what of the JSAs? An Update is Provided
Okay, so the Prix Bedeis Causa were handed out last month, the Doug Wright Awards are being presented this Saturday night, and the Prix Bedelys are going to be presented on June 2nd.
What about the Joe Shuster Awards?
Well, they'll be handed out in late August, and we're almost finished with the selection process.
So far we've finalized the 2013 nomines for:
– Artist
– Cartoonist
– Cover Artist
– Writer
– The Harry Kremer Award for Comic Book Retailing
– The Canadian Comic Book Creator Hall of Fame (aka what I like to call the "Hinterland's Who's Who")
There will be 3 inductees into the Hall of Fame in 2013.
Still pending:
– The Gene Day Award for Self-Publishing
– The Dragon Award for Comics for Kids/Younger Readers
– Webcomics
The Nominating Committee for the Dragon Prize and for Webcomics have asked for a little extra time, while the Selection Committee for the Gene Day Award will be picking up some final books this weekend at TCAF to enlarge the pool of nominees.
We'll be announcing the full list of nominees in a press release in late May, unfortunately we missed the Free Comic Book Day deadline I was shooting for.
The awards are going to be presented in Toronto this year, in late August – the specific date and venue will be announced later as well.
Kickstarter: Dracula: Son Of The Dragon
I'm trying to be sparing about posting kickstarters, but this one's very close to success and with less than 48 hours to go it needs a few fans to put it over the top. Salgood Sam, author of Shuster Award nominee Dream Life is putting together a new project with writer Mark Sable to tell the origin story of Vlad the Impaler in Dracula: Son Of The Dragon. It's a very ambitious project, and there's some really remarkable art available as part of the kickstarter, so take a look and support a cool comic.
JSA update and more on Lost Heroes documentary
So everything is well under way now here at JSA central. We're once again aiming for a Free Comic Book Day (May 4th) deadline for our nominee announcements.
I must say that it's been an enthusiastic year for Canadian comics so far, as there's been a lot going on recently – especially for things related to Canadian comics history. The shooting for the upcoming documentary LOST HEROES has wrapped and the crew is currently in post-production mode, we eagerly await the final product. We've been lucky enough to be able to watch some of the interviews filmed at the Comic Book Lounge, and I think people are in for a real treat when the film finally airs on Super Channel later this year. Here's the official blurb followed by the promotional poster for the film:
Lost Heroes is a feature documentary set to air on Super Channel in 2013. We explore the history of the great Canadian superheroes, from Johnny Canuck to Captain Canuck. Currently in post-production.
Lost Heroes explores the past of the Canadian superhero, from the golden age when millions of children read the tales of Inuit goddess Nelvana of the Northern Lights, to the thrilling days when Canadian superheroes returned to the newstands with Captain Canuck and Cerebus. Lost Heroes celebrates the unique Canadian talent behind these characters and asks why can't Canada keep their heroes?
In what I've seen of it, this is a top-notch, professional production and I think it will be a great chance to expose a lot of people to Canada's comics past, as well as it's present and future.
With the completion of the eligible English and French list I've spent some time perusing the lists to play my guessing game of who I think the nominating committees will be selecting for the 2013 Joe Shuster Awards, and I think that this year's list is strong, but seems to working from a smaller pool than in previous years. That certainly means that a lot of projects by people absent this year are on the horizon, but I'm eager to see who the nomcoms select.
Currently we have 19 individuals participating in the Nominating Committee for Artist, Cartoonist, Cover Artist and Writer. They come from across the country, but as per protocol we won't be publishing their names until after they have finished their selections in case anyone drops out before the end.
Our Hall of Fame selection committee has expanded quite considerably this year, to make up for last year's year off. Of the seven members, only three have participated in previous HOF nomcoms. Maybe I can convince them finally to rename the HOF "Hinterland's Who's Who".
Joe Shuster Awards 2013
To be announced June 4th, 2013.
Welcome to 2013!
A new year is well underway and we are getting back to business here at JSA central!
Unfortunately, I was not able to run a wrap survey for 2012 as I normally do, work on the store and various events (such as the 24 Hour Comic Challenge we ran in-store this past Saturday at the Comic Book Lounge) have been keeping me pretty busy.
Currently being assembled for a late January release will be the LIST OF ELIGIBLE CREATORS AND 2012 PUBLICATIONS list, and if you want to be proactive and make sure your comics projects are recognized you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I'll update the list.
Current plans are for the nomination process to begin in earnest on February 1, so if you are interested in participating in nominating the 2012 award categories, you can email me at the same address listed in this article.
A later start for the process does seem indicative of an awards ceremony for later in 2013, and that is once again the case — as we have a weekend in mind, an event and a city in which to hold the ceremony, just not an official venue yet. Current plans are for the ceremony to take place in late summer at a venue that will be announced in March when the nominations are announced.
Canadian Comic Anthology TRUE PATRIOT needs your help!
Some amazing Canadian comic talent has assembled to create TRUE PATRIOT, an anthology of unmistakably Canadian content. Amongst the fellowship are:
Adrian Alphona (Runaways), Andy B. (Kill Shakespeare), J. Bone (Super Friends), Jack Briglio (Scooby Doo), Scott Chantler (Two Generals), Tom Fowler (Hulk: Season One), Agnes Garbowska (Girl Comics), Faith Erin Hicks (Adventure Time), Tim Levins (Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes), Ramon Perez (A Tale of Sand), Ron Salas (28 Days Later), Jay Stephens (Secret Saturdays), J. Torres (Teen Titans Go), Howard Wong (After the Cape).
They need your help! There's a campaign running at Indiegogo to get financing, and there's only four days left to get them to their goal! It looks like it'll be a fantastic book, so get on board and help this get made.
Help Complete Dream Life Book 1
Salgood Sam's Dream Life is one of my favorite webcomics, and he's bringing it to print for the first time. His campaign is doing well, but he's got some great exclusive rewards available, so I'd recommend checking it out to help hit some stretch goals.

Broke Straight Boys - Giovanni Jordon
I called Jordan back to see if he wanted some more work, he had just done a duo scene where oral was involved with another guy and he did great. Since he did so well, I wanted to see if he would take things one step further. I didn't give him any details over the phone, and just told him that he would make more money than the last time he did a shoot. Sure enough that's all he needed to hear and we setup a time for him to come by the studio to do a shoot. The other model I was going to pair him up with was Giovanni, and I told him to be prepared to fuck or get fucked in the shoot. A couple days later the day of the shoot, both models arrived on time and we just went right into the shoot room. I told Jordan that he was doing a great job, and that the reason I didn't talk money with him on the phone was because I wanted to see what he would do.

Large Black
Watchlist; Category 3, Vulnerable.
The Large Black was founded mainly on the native stock of Devon and Cornwall, but it also incorporated the last remaining examples of the Small Black breed from East Anglia.
The Breed Society was founded in 1899, and pigs were exported to many countries in the early 20th century, especially those with warmer climates in Europe, Africa, Australasia, the Caribbean and North and South America.
Sows have very good maternal qualities, and the breed is noted for its fecundity. The Guinness Book of Records lists a Large Black belonging to A M Harris of Lapworth, Warwickshire, as having produced the largest number of litters (26) between 1940 and 1952.
The Large Black is a docile lop-eared animal, and its skin pigmentation helps it to resist sunburn, making it ideal for outdoor pig production systems. It is an efficient converter of low quality feed, and produces pork of high quality which finds a ready outlet in specialist markets.

Band Perry hopes the magic will continue
If you look at Tim McGraw's opening acts in recent years ---- Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum ---- you could make the case that McGraw knows how to pick future stars as they're about to break out.
But you'd be only half right. Some credit has to go to his daughters.
It was then-12-year-old Gracie McGraw who convinced her dad that Lady Antebellum would be a good opener for his 2010 tour.
This year, younger sister Maggie, also 12, campaigned on behalf of the Band Perry, a trio of siblings best known for their hit, "If I Die Young."
Ask the Band Perry, and its members couldn't be more thrilled to get attention from a preteen.
"Apparently the little girls are good at picking acts," said lead singer Kimberly Perry, 27. "We're really grateful that Maggie picked us."
"She's our new best friend," said bass player Reid Perry, 23, the middle child of the trio.
Fans of Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum probably need no introduction to the Band Perry. The group has been compared favorably to both acts, partly because they're a male/female trio like Lady A and because Kimberly Perry looks a little bit like Swift.
But for anybody who needs a briefing: The three were raised in Alabama and Tennessee, first singing together on family road trips. Kimberly pursued music first, but as brothers Reid and Neil got older, they advanced from being roadies to co-stars.
After being discovered by Garth Brooks' manager, Bob Doyle, the Band Perry released its debut album in 2010. "If I Die Young" was the second single off the album and reached No. 1 on the country singles chart. It even hit No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart, and is showing even more crossover potential after "American Idol" finalist Lauren Alaina sang it on national TV.
They were in a restaurant with their entire band and crew when Alaina performed it on "Idol," and the reaction was immediate.
"All 15 of our cell phones start to ring at the same time," said Neil Perry, the baby of the bunch at 21.
The next day, the song was No. 1 on iTunes again and the Band Perry's album jumped back up to No. 2 on the country charts. It's now at No. 16 and is expected to go platinum by the end of the year.
"It's really cool as we see that song continue to grow," Kimberly Perry said. "The houses are full when we play our opening set. Last year we were playing theaters and sweaty little rock 'n' roll clubs. It's been really amazing."
With the amount of star-power know-how behind the group ---- remember: Garth Brooks' manager Bob Doyle ---- it doesn't look as if the 3-million-selling "If I Die Young" will be a one-hit wonder situation for the Band Perry. Single "You Lie" climbed as high as No. 2 on Billboard's Country Songs chart. Current single "All Your Life" is at No. 20 on the chart.

To Combat Rising Seas, Why Not Raise Up The Town?
When the Great Storm of 1900 battered Galveston, Texas, the town simply lifted itself up—in some places as much as 17 feet. Could a similar approach save cities today? Randy Behm of the US Army Corps of Engineers and Dwayne Jones of the Galveston Historical Foundation talk about the costs and feasibility of raising a town, albeit with better technology than Galveston's hand-cranked jacks and mules.

The Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, now officially the Governor Albert D. Rosellini Bridge—Evergreen Point, is the longest floating bridge in the world at 7,578 feet (2,310 meters). It carries State Route 520 across Lake Washington from Seattle to Medina and is often called the "520 bridge" by locals. The Evergreen Point of the bridge's original name is the westernmost of the three small peninsulas it crosses. (The other two are Hunts Point and Yarrow Point.) It was renamed for Governor Rosellini, who had advocated its construction, in 1988.
In 2000, a gravel barge (whose captain was dozing at the wheel) struck the bridge, closing it for eleven days and causing $500,000 worth of damage. In 1989, an electrical fault caused the drawspan to open during rush hour, causing one death and five injuries.
Today the bridge is near the end of its useful life, according to the state Department of Transportation. The bridge must be closed in high winds, and even after a seismic retrofit in 1999, it is at risk of collapse in an earthquake. Due to the weight of various reinforcements over the years, the bridge currently rides about a foot lower in the water than it did originally. The DOT is working on replacing the aging bridge with a new span of six lanes.
The bridge is anchored by a large number of high-strength cables. According to an interview conducted by local newspapers, a severe storm during the bridge's lifespan came within strands of breaking some of these cables, which would have resulted in the catastrophic collapse of the bridge. Since then, additional cables have been added, and much of the bridge has been replaced with lighter materials, but the danger remains. The bridge was originally designed to stand up to a 100-year storm, but the assumptions used actually reflected what is now considered to be a 20-year storm for the Seattle area.
Scenery visible westbound on clear days include the Olympic Mountains and Husky Stadium on the University of Washington campus, as well as two metal sculptures. Eastbound are expensive waterfront homes in Medina, including the large home of Bill Gates on the southern side, which is extensively lit in the holiday season. On clear days, Mount Baker is visible to the north, the Cascade Mountains are the backdrop, and Mount Rainier is to the southeast. Mercer Island is to the south. On July 4, fireworks are visible from many communities and homes along the lake.
The bridge incorporates an infrequently-used drawspan to allow large vessels to pass. Smaller vessels pass under the "high rises," elevated portions of the bridge on each end. The drawspan is also opened during major storms to relieve water pressure.
