Back to basics
Okay, taking a wee break from that babelian piece. I've noticed I'm putting myself into a rut by only drawing characters as of late, and I haven't done a photo reference or even tried pencil rendering in over a year.
Gonna spend this week doing animal sketches, then I'll switch to objects or buildings, dunno which yet.
First of the sketches; South American maned wolf and a wolverine
Some die just to live.

The speed force is a dimension. It chose Wally West as it's avatar, the same as Cyttorak uses Juggernaut, Phoenix uses Jean, etc. Wally "mainlines" from the Speed force, his connection can not be broken due to this despite several attempts to severe the connection. A power that resides in every dimension, every era, every universe is not going to simply be overpowered by even a cosmic being. It's like saying anyone could use the Phoenix force if they wanted to tap into that power. The problem is that the Speedforce is being compared to the Power Cosmic, and since Doctor Doom has made Norrin his bi*ch twice, the assumption is that the same thing could be done to the speedforce. Clever but nothing supports that claim, and people have tried.
First, the speed force is an extra-dimensional energy force; it doesn't "choose" anyone as its avatar. In fact, there are many characters besides the Flash's who rely on the speed force for their speed abilities.
second, do you have scans showing people trying to break Wally's connection to the speed force but failing? Specifically, characters who are high-tier energy manipulators trying but failing to do so?
Third, there have been instances where even other Flash's have been cut off from the speed force. Bart Allen once absorbed the entire speed force during Infinite Crisis in order to fight Superboy-Prime effectively cutting everybody else off from it. Jay Garrick, for example, couldn't use the speed force and had to rely on his metagene powers for speed. And the negative speed force can also negate speed force energy.
Fourth, even if SS couldn't break the connection between Wally and the speed force, as a high-tier energy manipulator he can still negate the speed force energy the same way Captain Cold did by using a field or manipulating the energy itself to make it useless. Like I said, the versatility of the Power Cosmic is quite vast and there are a lot of options available to SS to nullify the energy of the speed force.
Fifth, nobody cares about comparing the speed force to the Power Cosmic. Nobody here claimed that Norrin could steal the speed force, I only claimed Norrin could manipulate it.
First, the speedforce chose Wally as it's output. He then goes on to explain he "mainlines" from it now. I don't have the scan but in the same scan Wally is talking to Linda about his new powers
Second, nope I guess since I don't have the scans anymore it never happened right?
Third, Flashes have been cut off by other Flashes. Wally has done it. Bart Allen is a Flash who absorbed the energy? That has nothing to do with Norrin.
Fourth, He couldn't. Surfers never done anything like that to beings even close to utilizing power that's in every era, dimension and universe... He wouldn't be able to react or think quick enough to utilize his power even if it could work, which you've provided no evidence to support.
Fifth, you're suggesting that the power cosmic gives Norrin the ability to manipulate the speed force. I'm saying he's no more capable of manipulating it than he would be the Phoenix Force or Odin power or Cyttorak's realm's power.... ETC.
I think your idea is a clever take on it. But to agree with it I would have to say that Norrin, who NEVER uses speed in battle (With it I believe he could have whooped Thanos or Thor), would outreact the fastest character in comics not named Zoom, then be immune to the speed steal (he wouldn't be) and would then have to fight someone he could barely see. Cosmic awareness, energy manipulation, ability to amplify his strength to any degree necessary, his supreme power wouldn't matter if he couldn't utilize it. He's been physically knocked around by Thor and Thanos. Ergo, Wally could and should be able to deal with him. IMO.

Nice work Polyglot! Glad that it worked for you!
Two days ago i went out and shoot some 40+ frames on 70mm. Capacity of my reel is 100" or around 40 frames. I was also thinking about marking the end of one batch and start of second. Maybe I will try with sticking piece of tape on the frame. As for developer I'm sticking to HC110, dilution H, at 100 iso.
As for processed negatives, I simply cut off perforations so I can use 120 negative sleeves, enlarger & scanner carriers.
Please let me know if you see some good deal on 70mm film, PM is just fine, will do the same.

Data recorders "help our engineers understand how cars perform in the real world, and we already have put them on over 90 percent of (new) vehicles without any mandate being necessary," Bergquist said.
Safety advocates, however, say requiring data recorders in all cars is the best way to gather a large enough body of reliable information to enable vehicle designers to make safer automobiles.
"The barn door is already open. It's a question of whether we use the information that's already out there," said Henry Jasny, vice president of Advocates for Highway and Automotive Safety.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said that requiring recorders in all new cars "will give us the critical insight and information we need to save more lives."
"By understanding how drivers respond in a crash and whether key safety systems operate properly, (government safety officials) and automakers can make our vehicles and our roadways even safer," LaHood said.
The National Transportation Safety Board has been pushing for recorders in all passenger vehicles since the board's investigation of a 2003 accident in which an elderly driver plowed through an open-air market in Santa Monica, Calif. Ten people were killed and 63 were injured. The driver refused to be interviewed and his 1992 Buick LeSabre didn't have a recorder. After ruling out other possibilities, investigators ultimately guessed that he had either mistakenly stepped on the gas pedal or had stepped on the gas and the brake pedals at the same time.
When reports of sudden acceleration problems in Toyota vehicles cascaded in 2009 and 2010, recorder data from some of the vehicles contributed to the traffic safety administration's conclusion that the problem was probably sticky gas pedals and floor mats that could jam them, not defects in electronic throttle control systems.
"Black box," a term for a device whose workings are obscure, is most widely used to refer to flight data recorders, which continually gather information about an aircraft's operation during flight. Aircraft recorders, by law, are actually bright orange.
Some automakers began installing the recorders at a time when there were complaints that air bags might be causing deaths and injuries, partly to protect themselves against liability and partly to improve air bag technology. Most recorders are black boxes about the size of a deck of cards with circuit boards inside. After an accident, information is downloaded to a laptop computer using a tool unique to the vehicle's manufacturer. As electronics in cars have increased, the kinds of data that can be recorded have grown as well. Some more recent recorders are part of the vehicle's computers rather than a separate device.
Rep. Michael Capuano, D-Mass., has repeatedly introduced legislation to require that automakers design recorders so that they can be disabled by motorists but has been unsuccessful in his efforts.
A transportation bill passed by the Senate earlier this year would have required that all new cars and light trucks have recorders and designated a vehicle's owner as the owner of the data. The provision was removed during House-Senate negotiations on the measure at the behest of House Republican lawmakers who said they were concerned about privacy.
"Many of us would see it as a slippery slope toward big government and Big Brother knowing what we're doing and where we are," Rep. Bill Shuster, R-Pa., who is slated to take over the chairmanship of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in January, said at the time. "Privacy is a big concern for many across America."

Lynton said he was not asking theaters to stop selling popcorn, soda and candy. "Audiences love them," he said. "I'm just talking about adding some healthier items to what you already sell."
Lynton also announced that the Alliance for a Healthier Generation has offered to meet with the theater owners "and offer advice on how to change your menus in a way that makes sense for your audiences and your business."
"The private sector, including the theatre industry, has the ability to improve the access families have to healthier foods and beverages," said President Bill Clinton, founder of the William J. Clinton Foundation, who co-leads the Alliance for a Healthier Generation with Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and American Heart Association President Clyde Yancy. "The Alliance brokered voluntary agreements with the beverage industry that resulted in an 88 percent decrease in beverage calories shipped to America's schools in just a few years. We are eager to work with the movie theater industry to craft similar agreements to provide healthy concession options in movie theaters."

The R&B singer dishes on clearing the air with her former label and releasing new projects.
After being relatively inactive since the release of her 2008 album The Declaration, Ashanti has been one busy gal. Back in the limelight as she gears up to release her latest opus, Braveheart, the R&B singer took some time to clear the air about her past before moving on.
The former first lady of the Irv Gotti-helmed recording label Murder Inc. recently did an interview with Power 99 in Philly in which she talked about making amends with her former crew. Ashanti revealed that she patched things up with the Inc.'s flagship artist Ja Rule before he began a two-year prison stint last June. She also reunited with Irv after some years of not speaking.
"It was a lot of emotion, a lot of questions," she shared. "There's no animosity between us. Time was needed to heal… Everything is all positive. We had our black cloud and now we're all good."
With her past drama cleared up, the Long Island native is moving forward with a slew of future projects. One of which is a role in the sequel to the basketball flick Coach Carter and a spot in the film I Love Cinema.
"It's a little bit more risqué, more sexy than I've ever been. It's weird because she [her character] almost has a split personality. She's a teacher, but she has one of those sides."
In addition to the movie roles she's signed on for, Ashanti's fifth studio album will include guest spots featuring Busta Rhymes, R. Kelly, Rico Love and Keyshia Cole. The singer is especially proud of the Cole-assisted track, although it's unclear if the cut will make the album.
"The record is dope," she said. "I love it."
As previously reported, the R&B singer revealed that she recently joined the ranks of the many artists who are either ditching (or getting ditched by) their major label affiliations for the more suitable independent labels. The Grammy Award-winning singer just announced that she has established her own label, Written Entertainment, under a partnership with Entertainment One Music.
Ashanti's soon-to-be-released album will be the first project to come out of the deal.

Cave of forgotten dreams: the work of homo spiritualis
My wife wanted to see "Cave of Forgotten Dreams," a documentary which had just opened here. We caught the matinee yesterday. It was a completely spellbinding experience.
German film director Werner Herzog is a master at conjuring unforgettable visions, from the ship dragged over the jungle mountain in his "Fitzcarraldo" to the Antarctic landscape in "Encounters at the End of the World."
In this latest film, he brings us the earliest known visions of humankind: the Chauvet cave art of the Ardeche River region in southern France, created more than 30,000 years ago. By comparison, the famous cave art of Lascaux is roughly half as old. Since Chauvet's discovery in 1994, access has been extremely restricted due to concerns that overexposure, even to human breath, could damage the priceless drawings. Only a small number of researchers have ever seen the art in person.

A popular destination since the late 19th century, Piedmont Park is still expanding: 35 acres complete with a fountain and new sports facilities were added in 2011, and another 15 were tacked on in 2012. Tennis courts, a swimming pool, a popular dog park, and paths for walking, jogging, and rollerblading are part of the attraction, but many retreat to the park's great lawn for picnics with a smashing view of the Midtown skyline.

A pleasing and good-sized park, several blocks walk from the Midtown MARTA stop. Has a lake and a few tree-covered areas, but mostly consists of open green space (about half of this given over to sports fields and such) that's good for games, running around, and sunbathing. Seems popular with locals. The Botanical Garden is adjacent to the park's north rim.

About Our Instructor
Tracy Samantha Schmidt is the director Crain's Social Media Group, a new division of Crain Communications. Social media has been central to her career in both the media and higher education.
As a reporter at Time Magazine, she covered a range of topics--including the rise of social media. She joined the Chicago Tribune in 2008 and co-created ChicagoNow, now one of Chicago's largest websites. Meanwhile, she taught several graduate-level classes on social media at DePaul University.
Those classes became the foundation for a nationwide social media education program Tracy created at Tribune in 2011. To date, more than 5,000 people have participated in that program.
Tracy has also presented private seminars for organizations including JP Morgan Chase, the National Association of Realtors and the National Assocation of Broadcasters.
Below are two video clips of Tracy's recent seminar, Managing Your Personal Online Reputation, which she delivered in August for the readers of Crain's Chicago Business.

Testimonials from Previous Attendees
"Crain's Social Media & Your Personal Online Reputation class was an excellent synopsis of the fundamentals that have to be grasped in order to operate effectively in this realm. For some time I have been contemplating deeper involvement in social media but was unsure about the correct approach to take. This clear and concise presentation provided me with the understanding and confidence to immediately take action toward improving my company's online presence. The handout materials provided by Tracy Samantha Schmidt also served as an excellent reference and resource outside the classroom."
-Craig Zoberis, President & CEO, Fusion OEM
"Crain's Managing Your Online Reputation is a great seminar for those who are breaching social media, moderately using social media, or constantly on social media. Tracy and Sean display their subject matter expertise on social media and search engine optimization, respectively, with easy to follow presentations and a relaxed tone that made novices and pros comfortable to ask all types of questions. No one can walk away without saying they didn't learn something new or without jotting down things-to-do to better their online presence. The best part is it is informative for digital department heads as it is for professionals looking to build their personal brand. I'd recommend this seminar to any professional or business, no matter what their Klout Score."
-Jillian Potter, Communications Director, The Chicago Network
"The information provided in the seminar led by Tracy Samantha Schmidt for Crain's Social Media Group was informative and insightful. The presenters were articulate and provided information that was relevant to attendees across a variety of industries whose level of understanding around social media ranged from beginner to expert. I am now in the process of transferring some of that knowledge to our company's business process, as well as my personal and professional profiles online – definitely a worthy investment of time and money to attend the Social Media & Your Personal Online Reputation seminar."
-Jaime M. Janisse, Operations Manager, Daubenspeck and Associates, Ltd.

The artist/curator Andreas Emenius and cultural entrepreneur Jacob Valdemar introduce with NORDIC CONTEMPORARY the exhibition 'TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING', showing ten contemporary Scandinavian artists presenting new interpretations of paintings, sculptures, drawings and video.
Apart from being connected geographically, the invited artists are also connected by an interest in high culture meets low culture, polished meets raw, natural meets clinical. Scandinavia is a stage where the beautiful life is acted out, resulting in a growing distance to the living life. "TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING" is an exhibition about how we exist in this condition. Not necessarily to reflect on it, but to work on it from within, looking out.
Many of the artworks represented are satisfied with pointing back at the work itself, rather than a certain discourse, while pointing towards a freedom and subjectivity, with an existential commitment to the material. The titles reference 'a good thing' as being something utopian, while ''too much' stands for something oversaturated, to the limit and beyond: mental states, material, and media.
The artists are represented in a broad range of expressions as an attempt to break down hierarchies. High culture meets low culture, polished meets raw, natural meets clinical in an eclectic brew that aims to clash more than to harmonize; yet somehow linked through the artists view. / NORDIC CONTEMPORARY is an art space founded in 2014 by Andreas Emenius and Jacob Valdemar, situated on 160m2 in an empty apartment at Republique, Paris. It serves as a platform for contemporary art by Scandinavian artists, established and less established and presents three exhibitions a year aiming to visualize any current direction of Nordic art today.
The aim is to create long-term visibility for Nordic art and showcase internationally the Nordic region's increasing importance on the global art scene. The last exhibition at Nordic Contemporary, FLUID FLESH, opened Oct. 23, 2014. Attended by 400 people it created an instant impact and was covered in national and international press, among others the New York Times and Purple magazine.

The exhibition dedicated to Dries Van Noten presented at Les Arts Décoratifs in Paris in 2014 has just moved to MoMu, the fashion museum located in the designer's birthplace, Antwerp.
It is the first time in his whole career that Van Noten exhibits his oeuvre, instead of a classic retrospective, the visitors walks through an intimate journey into the designer's creative world, an impressive visual insight into his inspirations for most of his collections.
Through various themes the exhibition brings together a large number of artistic fields through an assemblage of historical, ethnic, cinematic and geographic references. All these elements are illustrated with a selection of modern and classic art, a number of valuable pieces from the Fashion and Textiles collection of Les Arts Décoratifs museum and film fragments that have inspired the designer throughout his career.
The exhibition includes works by artists Yves Klein, Thierry De Cordier, Victor Vasarely, Damien Hirst, Cecily Brown, Pol Bury, Christopher Wool, Hubert Duprat, Pablo Picasso, Mark Rothko and James Tissot.
The artworks featured in the exhibition are presented alongside an overview of the most significant pieces of Dries Van Noten's oeuvre.
Today Dries Van Noten is praised as one of the biggest names representing Belgian fashion. He has been showing his collections at the Paris Fashion Week since the early1990's. His shows and collections are some of the most talked about and acclaimed by the international fashion professionals.
Exhibition initiated and realized by Les Arts Décoratifs, Paris (01/03-02/11/14); organized in Antwerp by MoMu - Fashion Museum Province of Antwerp

Dries van Noten – Inspirations runs until July 19 2015.
"a subtle or slight degree of
difference, as in meaning,
feeling, tone or gradation"
In the exhibition entitled, Nuances, weaver and designer, opened on Friday 28th November, Joanna Louca, presents a collection of hand-woven throws, displayed through a site specific installation at Phytorio (Visual Artists Association), designed especially for this event.
The collection specifically designed and made for interiors, consists of unique, one- off, hand-woven pieces for the home in general.
The journey of creation is a sensationally emotional one, a journey in which a harmo- nious combination is at play, balancing perfectly, between an incessant challenge to cross the boundaries of stereotype weaving techniques and restrictions, and a process of creative meditation, in which the weaver's hands and mind, come together to com- pose a fabric that is pleasing to the human senses.
Unusual and controversial yarns and meticulous, intricate and innovative hand-weaving processes, come together to produce fabrics that vary in weight, colour and texture, from feather-light to felted to quilted and from monochrome, to degraded, to striped.
The collection is inspired simultaneously by the technical challenges faced during production and the abstract ideas that materialize from unexpected sources, like a portrait painting, a poem, a smell, a gesture.
Displayed along the length of the space, the individual pieces, come together, in a unified installation, as an interwoven unity, of ever-changing nuances, silently nar- rating a story of subtle distinctions and variations, in colours and texture, that can be experienced through a voyage of physical interactions and sensual stimulations.
~ Each hand-woven throw is labelled with the yarn composition, the size and the price.

Τhe Arab Guggenheim Museum, is the predominant name by which the Hollow Airport Museum has been widely known, emphasizing on the sociopolitical connections of Cyprus, where the Museum is located, with the Middle East and the nearby Arab countries. HAM, which plays the role of a cultural meeting point of the area, emblematically houses its activities at the abandoned International Airport, in the contested zone – the Green Line – that divides the island in two, as a result of a violent and catastrophic war in 1974, between Greek-Cypriot and Turkish military forces.
Airports, airplanes and the cross Atlantic journeys, have been the symbol of progress and evolution from the end of nineteenth until the first half of the twentieth century; but it was only in Kennedy's glorious era that the apotheosis of the sky conquest would have reached its peak, stigmatizing every aspect of everyday reality, literature and art, architecture and fashion. Everything real progressive and advanced should have been connected with the space achievements and the human desire to explore the planetary system.
Having Kennedy's bunker as starting point of reference, the participating artists are called to present different approaches and positions with regard to the motif and functions of a contemporary civil refuge. The artists may draw inspiration from a wide array of archetypical sources, extending from the claustrophobic Platonic cave to the argophilia of the One-Way Mars Colony Project.
Nowadays, on the verge of a new gold war and while the sight of our planet from Mars may seem to be a routine, what is tomorrow's perspective? Just what is that makes space getting so critical, so politicized?
Participating Artists: Moataz Nasr (Egypt), Olaf Nicolai (Germany), Robert Wilson (USA), Khaled Hourani (Palestine), Tarohei Nakagawa, Yukihiro Taguchi, Ryosuke Kido, (Japan), Helidon Gjergji (USA- Albania), Mounir Fatmi (France-Marocco), Baptiste Debombourg (France), Txuspo Poyo, Orlando Brito Jinorio (Spain) Adrian Scicluna (Malta), Juraj Dudas, Erik Binder, Svatopluk Mikyta (Slovakia) Democracia (Spain), Driant Zeneli, Artan Shabani (Albania), Dionisis Christofilogiannis, Yioula Chatzigeorgiou, Eva Marathaki, Evangelos Kaimakis, Giorgos Papadatos, Eva Mitala, Efi Spyrou, Artemis Potamianou, Aggelos Skourtis, Nikos Papadopoulos, Stelios Alexakis, Dimitrios Antonitsis, Maro Michalakakos, Nikos Larios, Lito Kattou, Voula Karampatzaki, Pela Kalogirou, Pantelis Chandris (Greece)

The Birds of Paradise exhibition at MoMu in Antwerp, is a tribute to the elegance and refinement of plumes and feathers used in the fashion industry. Thanks to their beauty, fragility, value and agility they had various connotations and were used throughout history for a variety of fashionable wardrobes, both as an accessory and as part of the entire silhouette.
Featuring silhouettes by Alexander McQueen, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, Giambattista Valli, Louis Vuitton, CHANEL, Givenchy, Thierry Mugler, Yves Saint Laurent,…
The British sculptor Kate MccGwire was asked to setup some of her works to engage on a dialogue with the feathered fashion creations.

Nautilus Minerals wants to be the world's first deep-sea miner, and says the ocean floor is the safest place to get needed minerals.» Read More
A California company can pull lithium, and other critical metals, out of the effluent water of geothermal power plants, removing the need to drill or blast for new resources the way miners typically do.
Martin Ferguson, Resources Minister of Australia discusses the merits of Australia's mining tax and why it will not slow down investment.
Greg Fraser, senior industrials analyst at Fat Prophets, advises investors to take advantage of dips to buy quality defensive and diversified mining stocks in Australia.
Chinese companies and investors are stepping up their purchases of industrial commodities such as copper, in a show of confidence in the global economy that stands in contrast to the turmoil in western markets. The FT reports.
From physical coins to futures, options, and ETFs -- reporter Bob Pisani breaks down the how and where to invest in gold.
The discovery of huge deposits of so-called 'rare earth' minerals, used in high technology products, on the Pacific sea floor should ease long-term supply constraints and end a Chinese monopoly, which had been causing strategic concerns in the West, analysts said.
A $230 million refinery being built here in an effort to break China's global chokehold on rare earth metals is plagued by environmentally hazardous construction and design problems, according to internal memos and current and former engineers on the project.
Commodity prices may have recovered slightly from last week's sharp selloff but the downtrend is likely to stay in place for the next few months, warned analysts.
Molycorp is ready to buy other rare earth mining companies should the opportunity arise, said Chief Executive Mark Smith told CNBC Wednesday.
Rare earth prices are reaching rarefied heights. World prices have doubled in the last four months for rare earths — metallic elements needed for many of the most sophisticated civilian and military technologies, whether smartphones or smart bombs.
The global uranium industry, crippled by the March 11 earthquake and Tsunami in Japan, is now beginning to come out of the shock. Investors, who were earlier sitting on the sidelines, have re-entered the market to look for bargains.
Miners have started to protect themselves against a fall in the price of copper as the metal's rally, which only a few months ago looked unstoppable, has hit a wall, the Financial Times reports.

Monroe County is among many Indiana communities that have lost grant funds because of a dispute with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, or FEMA. The federal agency has suspended millions of dollars in grants that had been allocated to projects in Indiana. The move was spurred by a conflict between FEMA and the city of Kokomo, which is building a new baseball stadium. FEMA contends the city of Kokomo is violating an agreement about leaving open space on eight properties purchased with federal grants. Kokomo has appealed in court. In the meantime, FEMA has responded in a way that removed money from communities statewide. Monroe County was one of 15 counties planning to update its hazard mitigation plans this year before FEMA cut funding. Here's Jim Comerford, the director of Emergency Management for Monroe County.
The funding from FEMA, Comerford says, would have helped Monroe County and the 14 others pay for an outside vendor to assist in the updating of our hazard mitigation plans.
Having an updated mitigation plan would become an issue if a disaster were to affect Monroe County. Comerford says FEMA requires an up-to-date plan before distributing disaster relief funds.
FEMA's hazard mitigation grants and assistance will not be given to Indiana counties again until the 8 parcels of land that are currently part of Kokomo's new baseball stadium return to open space, or until the matter is sorted out in court.

When your car breaks down, you don't call a dentist to fix it. That's why it was so curious this fall when CBS called on the head of the CBS sports division, Sean McManus, to also become the president of CBS News.
McManus now leads the efforts of CBS News to recapture its place as broadcasting's legendary news operation. McManus has no experience in journalism. Zero. His entire career has been spent managing television sports. CBS network CEO Les Moonves explained the move to appoint McManus by saying he wanted "a new vision -- a new way of looking at the news division." Hopefully, that new vision doesn't include scoreboards and cheerleaders.
The situation at CBS is representative of the confusion that appears to pervade the upper echelons of the major network news operations as they try to remain relevant in a changing journalistic landscape. The focus on journalism erodes as the networks try to keep their audiences from shifting to 24-hour cable news channels, the Internet and reruns of "Friends". The networks are driven to make news more "entertaining" to attract the younger demographics that advertisers seek. Sadly, the only apparent way to get young adults to watch news is to wait 20 years until they are older.
McManus deserves much credit for his sports television management. He negotiated the NFL back to CBS, has kept professional golf largely in the CBS domain and oversees CBS' high-profile coverage of the NCAA basketball tournament. Of course, the NCAA tournament could be produced by UPN or PBS and still get great ratings.
McManus acknowledged in a recent report that covering a Super Bowl is not the same as covering an election, but he went on to say he thought there were "more similarities than there are differences." That might be true from the standpoint of production and technology, but that's where the similarities end.
The rights to broadcast sports events are negotiated and contracted. Not so for news events. Sports events occur at designated times and places. Not so for news events. Sports events are for entertainment and diversion. News is supposed to be the conversation of a democracy. Ex-jocks and loudmouths can pretty much cover the sporting scene. It takes professional journalists with vision to set the nation's news agenda.
McManus' first big challenge is to find a permanent anchor for the "CBS Evening News." Speculation abounds that CBS might lure Katie Couric from NBC's "Today Show" to take over as anchor. Although Couric has kept morning audiences happy for 15 years, one must wonder if her chatty, smiley style can translate to a serious news broadcast. It is one thing to keep a morning audience enthralled with a heart-rending chat with the Runaway Bride, but another to win the credibility of a totally different audience in the evening. Can a person who has most often been described as "perky" be the right fit for an evening network news program? McManus and Moonves apparently think so.
At ABC, the new anchor team of Elizabeth Vargas and Bob Woodruff gets going in January. ABC News president David Westin hopes the dual-anchor "Ken and Barbie" approach adapted from local television news can work at the network level. History is not on his side, as evidenced by the double anchor flops of Harry Reasoner and Barbara Walters at ABC in the 1970s and CBS' Dan Rather and Connie Chung in 1993. Westin defended the double anchor setup recently, saying, "You need more than one anchor. One person can't do all of this." Who knew that Peter Jennings at ABC and Tom Brokaw at NBC were overmatched all of those years?
Many observers believe ABC paired Woodruff, 44, and Vargas, 43, to attract younger viewers to the news. Note to network execs: Anchors in their 40s are still considered old to the young audience.
Westin plans to get his new anchors out into the field frequently to cover the big stories in person. "It always adds a lot of extra weight to a story if the anchor is there on site," he says. This statement further underscores the confused state of the television news world. There was a time when the "weight" of a significant news event was measured by its value as news. Now stories become big because of the presence of a network news anchor.

From Our Editors
The skilled hide-hydrators at Botanic Skin Care perform rejuvenating treatments using hypoallergenic certified-vegan products. Bodies rejoice at the prospect of a 60-minute wrap treatment in one of three varieties. The sea-mud wrap helps prevent clogged pores by outfitting bodies in an aqua-clay cloak that derives its vitamins and minerals from marine botanicals and blue-green algae. The detoxifying sea-salt scrub wicks away toxins from the skin's surface, resulting in softer, smoother organ suits, and the sweet-smelling chocolate wrap coats skin in a cocoa-based cream, stimulating the senses more effectively than a hug from a giant chocolate bunny. Two 45-minute exfoliating microdermabrasion sessions can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and lipstick stains left by the sun's unsolicited kisses.
