Thunder rumbles over new boat race
Different group to fill festival slot
Powerboats are scheduled to return to Evansville in June, but the F1 ChampBoats are a bit smaller than their unlimited counterparts and will be racing a week earlier.
Mike Schriefer, president of the F1 ChampBoats, confirmed his series will run in Evansville as part of the Freedom Festival on June 20-21, the weekend before Thunder on the Ohio had been run traditionally.
"We were contacted by GAGE (Growth Alliance for Greater Evansville) mid to late summer last year," Schriefer said. "They showed an interest in our Formula 1 boats coming ... to Evansville."
But that doesn't sit well with the American Boat Racing Association, which plans to host the 31st running of Thunder on the Ohio in August.
ABRA Chairman Sam Cole was taken aback by another boat race being held in Evansville before Thunder.
"It's clearly a big disappointment," Cole said. "We'll really have to sit back and take a look at this at our board meeting in Madison (Ind., on Feb. 13-14)."
Schriefer has signed a one-year contract with GAGE and hopes his series will run in Evansville for many years.
"We know the (Freedom Festival) has been a big deal for a long time," Schriefer said. "Hopefully, we'll be in it for the long term.
Mick Conati, vice president of GAGE's Downtown Development Division, would neither confirm nor deny Wednesday that the F1 ChampBoats were coming to Evansville.
"We will not make an announcement until Friday," Conati said. "Our entire festival will be unveiled on Friday morning."
Working it out
Although the details are being finalized, ABRA — a nonprofit company that is the governing body of unlimited hydroplanes — has tentatively said it would host the 31st running of Thunder on the Ohio on Aug. 22-23, pending approval from various organizations.
ABRA must gain approval from the Coast Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers and the necessary city departments, including Evansville's Board of Public Works, Police Department, Fire Department and the Emergency Management Agency. GAGE would take care of the necessary approvals for the ChampBoats.
"I would say a lot of people have been misled," Cole said. "Are we confident we can get the Coast Guard and the Corps of Engineers behind us? I would say I'm more disappointed than upset. We're trying to preserve something that has happened in Evansville for 30 years."
ABRA's board of directors voted on Nov. 21 to acquire the physical assets of the Freedom Festival along with some of its liabilities as a first step toward hosting Thunder. It would mark the first time ABRA has put on a race independently.
"We'll have to sit back and regroup," Cole said. "They're replacing a boat race with a boat race."
For the sake of comparison, the unlimiteds, which typically are powered by Vietnam-era jet helicopter engines, are approximately 28 feet long and can reach speeds of 200 mph on the straightaways. The ChampBoats, powered by Mercury 400 horsepower outboard engines, are 17 feet long and can reach speeds of 125 to 140 mph on the straightaways.

The 10 Best Concerts in New York This Week, 6/23/14
For more shows throughout the week, check out our New York Concert Calendar, which we update daily.
Courtesy of WBR Press // Credit: Chuck Buck Tegan and Sara play Hammerstein Ballroom before they join Katy Perry's Prismatic World Tour
Monday, 6/23:
The Capitol Theatre
8:00 p.m., $40-$60
The psychedelic court jester of acid rock reunites with guitarist Larry LaLonde and drummer Tim Alexander for the first tour featuring Primus' original members in years. With a new album rumored to be percolating on the road, the trio has hinted at heading into the studio to cover the Willy Wonka soundtrack, loosely billed as Primus and the Chocolate Factory. Who knows what that confection might be laced with, but if the comestible results of their New Year's 2014 instrumental cover of "Pure Imagination" is any indication, it will represent a return to the thrash fondue that inspired "Sailing the Seas of Cheese." -- By Aidan Levy
Tuesday, 6/24:
Tegan and Sara
Hammerstein Ballroom
8:00 p.m., $39.50
In Tegan and Sara's 13-year career, they've made progressively influential material that has earned them a global following. The Canadian twins are back again, but this time they're playing '90s inspired music influenced by artists many of us have become increasingly nostalgic for this year as electronica seemingly devolves. Released in 2013, Heartthrob is the duo's seventh studio album, filled with infectious singles like "I Was a Fool," "Closer," and "Now I'm All Messed Up"--modern pop/rock that makes you feel young and carefree, in the same vein as Ace of Base or "Baby Baby"-era Amy Grant. Tegan and Sara will be supporting Katy Perry on her Prismatic World Tour in September, which will also mark the anniversary of their much-celebrated fourth album, So Jealous. In the meantime, they'll be doing what they do best: bridging the pop and indie music worlds as they finish up their Let's Make Things Physical tour with The Courtneys--a Vancouver-based slacker pop trio blowing up skirts with their flying nun-influenced punk/pop that also drifts back to the sound of the early '90s. -- By Erin Manning
Kris Davis Residency
The Stone
Tuesday through Friday, 8:00 p.m. & 10:00 p.m. daily, $15
One of New York's most inventive ensemble players, the pianist can be startling in an array of contexts. That means there should be numerous surprises at this six-night residency, a stretch of gigs that finds Davis trading ideas with a cohort of intrepid associates who are terrifically eloquent with abstraction. From Tom Rainey's Obbligato outfit's inside-out standards to Davis' Capricorn Climber quintet with Mat Maneri's viola generating a chamber feel, to her Death Rattle trio with guitarist Mary Halvorson and saxophonist Ingrid Laubrock, it's likely aggression will be poised and subtleties well honed. And if the recent Massive Threads is any indication, her solo piano night might be the most enticing gig of all. -- By Jim Macnie
Wednesday, 6/25:
Evian Christ
10:00 p.m., $15/$20
Though he's gone from Youtube unknown to Kanye West's co-producer in just under three years, British producer Evian Christ has traversed plenty of ground in that time. From maximalist rap to desiccated rhythmic workouts indebted to footwork and trap, Christ's polyglot interests shine in his DJ sets, where dollops of pop and straight R&B soften his usual preference for abrasion. -- By Aaron Gonsher
White Magic
Union Pool
9:00 p.m., $8
What's bewildering about Brooklyn's White Magic: a meager trickle of recorded material. What's awesome about White Magic: what material does exist - including an album here, buncha EPs there, some singles - is amazing in a "psychedelic baroque gin-joint" kind of way, with Mira Billotte's strident chants and and math-piano moxie burrowing in through your third eye. This music is a contradiction: noose-tight and flower-child billowing. It's makers deserve more respect, and a boundless cult. -- By Raymond Cummings

01 August 2013 12:31 [Source: ICIS news]
(Adds quote in paragraph 2, segment detail in paragraphs 4-7, analyst comment in paragraphs 8-9)
LONDON (ICIS)--Evonik Industries' net income fell by 28% to €191m ($255m) in the second quarter of this year, weighed by declining selling prices, the German specialty chemicals firm said on Thursday.
The company's sales slipped by 5% year on year to €3.26bn, while adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) was down by 23% at €489m, the company said in a statement, adding that market conditions during the quarter were "far more difficult than expected".
"While volumes increased slightly, earnings were lower, mainly due to declining prices," said Klaus Engel, chairman of the executive board of Evonik.
Adjusted EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes) for the company's consumer, health and nutrition division was down by 18% year on year at €188m despite a 3% increase in sales to €1.06bn, as higher volumes were offset by lower prices.
The reverse was true for the company's resource efficiency division. The segment, which includes inorganics, coatings and additives, posted a 4% year on year increase in adjusted EBIT to €145m despite a 4% drop in sales to €801m, as lower selling prices were balanced by higher volumes.
The sharpest EBIT drop was recorded for Evonik's specialty materials division, which includes performance polymers and advanced intermediates.
EBIT for the division dropped by 56% year on year to €90m on an 11% drop in sales to €1.13bn.
Evonik attributed the drop to a "perceptible" drop in organic sales caused by lower sale prices, and a reduction in volumes as a result of maintenance-driven scheduled shutdowns of production facilities.
Butadiene (BD) prices in particular suffered a significant drop during the quarter, Evonik said.
Wall Street analyst Bernstein Research noted that the company's Q2 EBITDA result was 1% above the market consensus, adding that it continued to be bullish on the company's prospects.
In an analyst note, Bernstein said: "Versus some others we remain more positive as we see Evonik's portfolio of assets more resilient than peers given their wide spread.
"Despite our cautious view on the broader chemicals sector we still see value as a relatively cyclical hedge. We continue to believe Evonik has long term potential."
For the first six months of this year, Evonik's income fell by 10% year on year to €481m, with sales down by 5% at €6.53bn. Its adjusted EBITDA in January-June this year fell by 16% year on year to €1.08bn.
Evonik expects sales in 2013 to be around the same level as in 2012 at about €13bn, with adjusted EBITDA of around €2bn.
($1 = €0.75)

On January 7, the Massachusetts Division of Banks announced a public hearing to review proposed amendments to the state's foreclosure and mortgage modification regulations. The proposed amendments would implement a recently passed law that makes it harder to foreclose in that state, including by creating a pre-foreclosure modification notice requirement for creditors. The amended regulation would (i) establish the processes for a borrower and creditor with regard to the borrower's right to request a loan modification, (ii) establish the actions that constitute a borrower's good faith response to a creditor's notice of the right to request a loan modification, (iii) define good faith efforts by creditors to avoid foreclosure, and (iv) establish safe harbors for creditors that comply with the loan modification process. The hearing is scheduled for February 6, 2013, and the Division of Banks is accepting public comments on the proposal through February 15, 2013.

Sometimes being the smartest kid in your class doesn't make you any friends. Sometimes the way you see the world is so different from "normal" that you're not sure anyone can understand you. So it is for Nicholas Funes, the 11-year-old hero of If You Find This.
Miles Murphy is not happy about starting at a new school in the snoringly boring town of Yawnee Valley. The only thing that might make this OK is becoming the greatest prankster the school has ever seen. Miles was proud of his reputation as "King Prankster" at his old school, even if it meant that some of his friends didn't like hanging out with him anymore.
Everyone has thought about what three wishes they would make if they ever found a genie in a bottle. But what if you couldn't think of three? Or, worse, what if the genie had lost his powers and couldn't grant them anyway? This is what happens to young Emma in Cornelia Funke's new book for young people, Emma and the Blue Genie.
Most children's stories that feature animals as main characters tend to be highly anthropomorphic. From "The Three Little Pigs" to The Incredible Journey, animals stand in for humans, right down to living in houses and sitting in chairs. Not so in Nuts to You, the latest from Newbery-winning author Lynne Rae Perkins. The squirrels in this story behave as squirrels, and their story is very interesting.
Kimberley Griffiths Little's new book brings all the eeriness of the Louisiana bayou into an engaging story about a girl, her family and the secrets of the past.
It is true that Lisa Graff's latest book, Absolutely Almost, brings to mind someone else's work, but not because Graff is in any way imitative—she's far too brilliant to sound like someone else. Lately the patrons of my school library have been asking, "Do you have any books like Wonder by R.J. Palacio?" and now I have the perfect offering. Like Wonder, Absolutely Almost is the story of a boy struggling to fit in. Unlike Auggie, however, Graff's protagonist Albie doesn't have any noticeable problems; he just cannot succeed at school.
Lantern Sam is a rare male calico cat who lives aboard a train called the Lake Erie Shoreliner (New York to Chicago in under 20 hours!) in the 1940s. Ostensibly in the care of conductor Clarence Nockwood, Sam is an intelligent and independent cat who has the ability to share his thoughts with some humans. Clarence is one of them, but when 10-year-old Henry Shipley comes aboard, Sam finds he can "talk" to him, too.
Lenny and the Mikes are back! After solving a baseball-related crime in Strike Three, You're Dead, Lenny Norbeck and his friends Mike and Other Mike find themselves once again knee-deep in mystery. This time around, however, their friendship may suffer from the solving.
Anyone who has read Catherynne M. Valente's first book for young readers, The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making, and marveled at the author's fantastic prose and vivid imagination, was pleased to find that Valente had not lost her touch in the second book, The Girl Who Fell Beneath Fairyland and Led the Revels There. But her characters are so...
Sometimes it's hard to say what a book is about when there is no grand adventure, car chase or great battle. Sometimes a book is just about one girl, one summer and a slow discovery. That description doesn't sound like much, but The Thing About Luck, the latest novel by Newbery Medalist Cynthia Kadohata, is just such a book, and every word of it is worth reading. Twelve-year-old...

The Supreme Court today extended by 3 months the four-month deadline for wrapping up the trial in the alleged tax evasion case involving Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in view of ongoing general elections.
However, the apex court said the trial court in Chennai will take appropriate steps for ensuring the personal appearance of Jayalalithaa and other accused after it was alleged that they were adopting dilatory tactics.
A bench, comprising justices K S Radhakrishnan and Vikramajit Sen, said the trial court will commence the proceedings after the completion of the election.
Additional Solicitor General Siddharth Luthra, appearing for the income tax department, submitted there was no objection to extending the deadline for completing the trial but it should be made clear that the accused should not be exempted from personal appearance before the trial court.
The apex court had on January 30 cleared the decks for Jayalalithaa's prosecution for not filing income tax returns in 1993-94 and asked a lower court to wrap up the trial in four months from the date of receipt of the order.

1) The color rendition is, if not set on a sunlight setting, a crapshoot. A setting, for example, for fluorescent light taken with several test shots around the room, does NOT guarantee the same color temperature on all shots in the same room. 2) Variation on exposure values varies even within evenly lighted surroundings, especially indoors. Getting a value for a well, evenly lit room and setting that data into the manual mode does NOT guarantee the same exposure for all shots. 3) Generally, one must set the exposure about 1/2 stop (sometimes 1 stop) faster to get decent pics when set on Program or Auto.

Great step up camera
By nikond70
from Berkley, MI, USA
Comments about RCA ViSYS 25214 Standard Phone:
This was our second digital camera, back when digital was becoming more practical. The first being a point and shoot. I received this camera as a gift over 7 years ago for a trip I was taking. It was bought from a professional photographer friend who was upgrading. Since that trip, I have taken the D70 "in the field" out on fishing, camping, and kayaking adventures. The camera holds up great to very light moisture exposure (associated with being in a Kayak) The photos it takes may not be as high of a quality as a brand new camera But for me, the Professional amateur, It works just fine for me. If you are looking for a step up camera to get into the more serious side of Photography, I would recommend this model to try it out.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The D70 is a fantastic DSLR even in 2013 and beond!!!
By Classic Digital
from Undisclosed
The Nikon D70 was and still is a fantastic camera. The D70 is compatible with every current DX and FX Nikkor lens and every current Nikon Speedlight. It will also work with older CPU lenses and i-TTL flashes to. I'm using my D70 with an SB-700 speed light and 16-85mm G ED VR DX lens. I also use it with the 50mm 1.8G,35mm 1.8G, 85mm G ED VR DX macro lens and 55-300mm G ED VR DX lens. The D70 has all the manual control I need. Its 5 point AF system does a great job of tracking moving subjects. This camera also has amazing battery life. with the EN-EL3e battery I can average 1,500 shots on one charge. With a 16gb x133 CF card I can get 2,800 RAW files which for me equals about two months worth of shooting when I have time to get out. Off camera lighting is also a breeze with the D70 and SB-700. Its easy to set the D70 in commander mode. I'd also like to thank Nikon for making the SB-700 so easy to use and setup. The hand grip on the D70 is I think one of the best that Nikon has ever put on a prosumer DSLR. Its large and fits my hand like a glove. Overall the D70 for me is the perfect choice for anyone who is either looking for a used DSLR to start off with or for someone who just wants a larger body with plenty of control. I liked my first D70 so much that I bought a second one. Both of my D70's still look brand new. I've updated the firmware on both to version 2.0 which improves the overall function of the camera. Overall I'm sticking the D70. These old bodies still have allot to offer. I enjoy these cameras because of there simplicity. Sure the screen is only 1.8inches but its enough for me to tell if the exposure is correct and its easy to see the cameras menus. Its also one of the reasons why the battery life is so long.

Great overall value
By Nikon for life
from Franklin, MI, USA
I bought this camera used 4 years ago and it has been a great value for the features (even better at the used price I paid). I have owned Nikons for almost 30 years (N90s, F3, FE2, FM2 among others) and this camera has met all my expectations. I'm thinking about upgrading to a newer model, but haven't been able to justify replacing my D70. I would buy this gain.

Good but it has its limits
By Greenice40
This is a very good camera, but there are two serious drawbacks. Lower ISO limit is 200 and you cannot take b & w photos. Otherwise, I am happy with the D70.

My first real digital...
By NikonD
from Sedona, AZ, USA
I have owned this camera since it was introduced. I love it, it works, time after time, For the day it was released, it was the greatest technology. It has noise, by todays standards tis not perfect , but it is a great camera, easy to learn, to use, to enjoy. From this camera I stepped up to my D2X, I still use this camera as a back up and just enjoy shooting with it. As with all my NIKON equipment, its durable, reliable and produces image quality second to none...

I got this camera when my grandfather died of a heartattack three years ago. I am in love with this camera. the pictures are so clear and i use photoshop along with it. I recently started my photography business and couldn't be happier with the quality of the pictures. Nikon D70 is the perfect gift.

After years of always having an interest and appreciation for photography, thanks to my dad. He gave me a D70 for my birthday. As soon as I took a few pics even in automatic settings, I loaded them on my computer, and said wow, this camera even though it is a few years old, about 7 to be exact, has great potential. Now, thanks to this experience I am going to pursue a career in the photo business. I feel with this camera which is an entry-level mid professional, with the proper skills I can take good enough pictures to compete with the best of them :-)

In Fall 2015, I will be joining the faculty of Yale-NUS College in Singapore as Assistant Professor of Philosophy.
My research employs historical philosophy in the service of philosophy as a whole. More specifically, my work engages with the classical Indian philosophical tradition as well as contemporary Anglophone (analytic) philosophy of language. I'm interested in questions concerning language, meaning, and knowledge.
When I'm not doing philosophy, I'm taking photographs, biking, or at the park with my dog.

UFC is getting heavy with talent this year…
Its official Wanderlei Silva signs with the UFC. The UFC Friday released a video to announce the big news. Silva is set to make his debut in December against an unknown opponent. If all goes well for Chuck Liddell at UFC 76, the Liddell vs. Silva fight will probably be in the near future.
"Many fighters have a dream of fighting for the UFC, and as a champion for six years in Japan, my dream has always been to have the UFC belt," said Silva. "Today, I'm one step closer to this goal."
"As crazy as this sounds, this is the pinnacle of my seven year career in this company," said UFC President Dana White. "I'm so excited to have this guy under contract. He grabbed my arm and looked me in the eyes like one of his pre-fight staredowns and he said 'I'm gonna fight so good for you, you're gonna see the best fights ever from Wanderlei Silva.'"
UFC is getting heavy with talent this year…
no kidding, what is the UFC going to do with all the talent.
I think a lot of good UFC fighters are going to filter down to smaller promotions. Nick Diaz, Lawler ect..
I think what they have to do is open another organization like Pride. I think the UFC is going to bury Pride, but they can still start something new and divide up the talent. Then once a year have the champions meet for big money.
Silva is a great fighter and I'm looking foward to seeing him versus fighters like Rampage and Chuck, those will be great fights for sure.

California Senate Bill 559 ("SB 559"), which expands state civil rights laws to prohibit discrimination based on genetic information, has been signed into law by Governor Brown.
SB 559 adopts the philosophy of the federal Genetic Information and Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 ("GINA"), which prohibits discrimination in employment and health insurance coverage decisions based on genetic information. However, the California bill offers broader protection than GINA by prohibiting discrimination based on genetic information in the additional areas of housing, business services, emergency medical services, licensing qualifications, life insurance coverage, mortgage lending, and participation in state-funded or state-administered programs. This client alert will focus primarily on changes affecting California employers.
The bill amends the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) to prohibit employment and housing decisions based on genetic information. FEHA, as amended, also prohibits licensing boards from requiring any qualification based on genetic information, unless the practice is demonstrably job-related. In addition, SB 559 amends the Unruh Civil Rights Act to prohibit unequal access to accommodations, advantages, facilities, privileges, or services provided by business establishments based on genetic information.

New president sought for Civic San Diego
Position vacant four years following redev scandal
Another unrelated Graham, Jeff Graham, is the vice president of redevelopment at Civic San Diego and has been running the day-to-day activities at the organization. He would be a natural applicant for the post but it's not yet known if he will apply.
Once a powerful organization with potentially billions of dollars at its disposal, CCDC, renamed Civic San Diego in June, has fewer staff members and less money to build parks, underwrite affordable housing, attract developers and businesses and act as a booster for downtown and other inner-city neighborhoods.
It also has absorbed the Southeastern Economic Development Corp., which oversaw neighborhoods southeast of downtown. SEDC's president departed in the wake of a salary scandal and a successor took over but retired when Civic San Diego was formed.
There are 11 other former redevelopment project areas in the city and it remains to be seen if Civic San Diego assumes oversight of those as well; David Graham in the mayor's office is currently responsible for the wind down of those areas' many projects.
CCDC, established in 1975 to focus on downtown revitalization, oversaw such major projects as the Horton Plaza shopping center and Petco Park, dozens of residential and commercial projects in the 1,600-acre Centre City area.
CCDC also contributed financially to 2001 San Diego Convention Center expansion and the new Central Library, and North Embarcadero Visionary Plan's first phase, both now nearing completion.
The total public investment by CCDC as of 2010 amounted to $1.5 billion in downtown redevelopment property taxes and $12.8 billion from the private sector.
Developers praised the agency for efficient review of their projects, while some small-time property owners, historic preservationists and civic activists complained that their concerns sometimes received short shrift.
In the reorganization, Civic San Diego retained CCDC's development review powers for downtown alone but has begun charging planning and development processing fees since downtown redevelopment property taxes are no longer available.

From one of comics' undisputed master plotters, PAUL LEVITZ, a discussion of how to construct plots to suit story structures long and short, building ideas from character, and tools for analyzing the form to develop your goals. Everything you ever wanted to know about plotting comics but were afraid to ask!
PAUL LEVITZ was born in Brooklyn, NY in 1956, and entered the comics industry in 1971 as editor/publisher of The Comic Reader, the first mass-circulation fanzine devoted to comics news. He continued to publish TCR for three years, winning two consecutive annual Comic Art Fan Awards for Best Fanzine. His other fan activities included editing the program books for several of Phil Seuling's legendary New York Comic Art Conventions. He received Comic-con International's Inkpot Award in 2002 and the prestigious Bob Clampett Humanitarian Award in 2008. Levitz also serves on the board of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
Levitz is primarily known for his work for DC Comics, where he has written most of their classic characters including the Justice Society, Superman in both comics and the newspaper strip, and an acclaimed run on The Legion of Super-Heroes, a series he's recently returned to write. Readers of The Buyers' Guide voted his "Legion: The Great Darkness Saga" one of the 20 best comic stories of the last century, and visitors to the site comicbookresources.com selected the same story as #11 of the Top 100 Comic Book Stories of All Time. Cumulatively, Levitz has written over 300 stories with sales of over 25 million copies, and translations into over 20 languages. As a DC staffer from 1973, Levitz was an assistant editor, the company's youngest editor ever, and in a series of business capacities, became Executive Vice President & Publisher in 1989 and then served as President & Publisher from 2002-2009. He continues as a Contributing Editor, but is now concentrating on writing and teaching. Paul is the author of the monumental history book, 75 Years Of DC Comics: The Art Of Modern Mythmaking, published by Taschen, which won the 2011 Will Eisner Award for Best Comics-Related Book.

The social event of the season will take place January 21, 2012 at Tate's Comics in Lauderhill, FL, in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area. Tate's famous Bear and Bird Gallery will display 297 vintage DC Comics cover proofs from 1964-1974 that once belonged to legendary DC Editor Julius Schwartz. To kick off the exhibition, Tate's is hosting in-store signing with Paul Levitz, George Pérez, and Alex Saviuk on January 21 as well. In addition, the second leg of Hero Initiative's "Justice League of America 100 Project" auction will take place on the same evening. All proceeds from this big event benefit Hero Initiative, the non-profit organization that helps comic creators in medical and financial need.
"Proof of Heroes" is a gallery exhibition running January 20th thru March 3rd which will feature nearly 300 comic book cover printer's proofs, spanning a decade (1964-1974) of Julius Schwartz' 42 year run as Editor at DC Comics. All the cover proofs in this collection will be available for sale at the price of $100 each, and include a Certificate of Authenticity.
When The Hero Initiative approached Tate's Comics about the idea of showcasing this collection in their upstairs gallery space, Bear and Bird, they jumped at the chance.
"These unique and cool cover proofs are an important part of DC Comics history," said store owner Tate Ottati. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to offer a great gallery event for our customers, and to also help out The Hero Initiative with their very worthwhile cause."
The "Proof of Heroes" Gallery Show Reception will be held January 21 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., immediately after the signing from 5pm-8 p.m.
During the Proof of Heroes reception, the JLA 100 Project live auction will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. The Justice League of America 100 Project is an exhibition and auction of original covers created by 100 well-known modern comic book superstars, including Alan Davis, George Pérez, John Romita and Alex Ross. On January 20 and 21, fans will have the opportunity to view this travelling action at Tate's.
"I'm thrilled to be part of such a great project, and also showcased among so many of the greatest artists in the world," said Hero Initiative Chairman George Pérez. "And of course, it's wonderful that sales of the covers will go toward helping many comic creators in need."
This project represents Hero Initiative's first major collaboration with DC Comics. In addition to the on-site auction of one-third of the featured covers, both hardcover and softcover editions of The Justice League of America 100 Project, a book collecting all the covers, will be available for sale.
"We are honored to support such a worthwhile cause and encourage DC Comics fans to participate in these Hero Initiative auctions that offer one-of-a-kind Justice League #50 covers," stated Dan DiDio, co-publisher of DC Entertainment.
If you cannot make this once-in-a-lifetime event and would like to bid on one of these magnificent covers, proxy bidding is available by contacting Joe Davidson at: email@example.com. Deadline for proxy bids is January 10, 2012.
