What is uncommon is hearing other players speaking about their teammates before being traded. According to Todd Zolecki, a few players who spoke to reporters yesterday mentioned the recent rumors of their teammate Cole Hamels being potentially traded. "I don't necessarily know if our clubhouse would take that too well." said Phils closer Jonathan Papelbon. Papelbon, who is coming from a clubhouse full of bad chemistry, fried chicken, beer and video games certainly wouldn't want to see one of the longest tenured Phillie to leave and ruin the chemistry of the clubhouse. Papelbon's comments reflected those of Jimmy Rollins, who was interviewed via telephone on Sunday. "If guys are going to get traded, it has nothing to do with contracts," Rollins said. "That means that was their plan from the beginning. You just don't trade a guy right now, especi...

I attended another Anime Expo last week, and while Dr. Boogie (my trusty cameraman at these events) was out with a foot injury, I still brought along a tripod to get the job done. I always have an awesome time seeing the amazing costumes that people put together (99% of which are referencing something too obscure for me to recognize). Due to Comic-Con preparations, I only had enough time to hang out for one day this year, but it was more than enough time to get enough funtastic footage for TWO new videos showcasing some of my favorite costumes & sights for those of you who couldn't attend. Take a look:

Hope you enjoyed this latest batch o' videos along with all the amazing costumes, and I'm really looking forward to attending Anime Expo once again next year. As always, please drop a comment on the Youtube videos to lemme know whatcha think of 'em, and please subscribe to my channel if you haven't already to be notified whenever I release a new video. Also, in case you missed it, you can watch my Anime Expo coverage from last year HERE.
And now I gotta resume prepping for Comic-Con 2015! I'll have info about our booth at Comic-Con posted in the next day or so. Hope to see a bunch of you there again!
We attended E3 2015 (the Electronic Entertainment Expo) this week, and I just couldn't contain my enthusiasm about about all the video games, costumes, booths, and promotions on display as I walked around the convention center. I'm sure this will come as a shock to you, but I actually ended up yelling at nearly everything I looked at. Thankfully, John was on-hand to film the entire thing (while likely experiencing hearing loss) for you to enjoy. Take a look, cuz you might see some more familiar faces!

As always, we'll also have a our in-depth E3 article coming up next week, including reviews of the latest games and photos of all the sights and surprises. In the meantime, hope you enjoy the video and be sure to drop a comment and/or subscribe to my YouTube channel if you haven't already.

Thanks for watching the show, and in case you missed the announcement, our all new pixel posters are finally available for purchase. If you enjoy what we do on I-Mockery and wanna help support the site while simultaneously getting something awesome to display on your wall, please order one today!
Having released our "8-bit Worlds Collide" pixel poster, Pox and I decided it was time to take our pixels where no pixels have gone before. Yes indeedy, we've decided to do an all Sci-Fi themed pixel poster set in outer space! As always, we wanna give all of you a chance to help create it. We always love seeing what awesome ideas you come up with, as many of them have ended up on our previous prints, so it's time for you to use your noggins once more to help us produce another pixelated universe that'll keep your eyes occupied for eons!
With that in mind, please post your suggestions below for characters, ships, vehicles, and anything else you'd love to see in our next pixel print in the comments section below - you don't even need a registered account to post 'em! Be sure to make as many suggestions as you can come up with; the more we receive, the more likely it is that we'll include some of 'em on this poster. Also, if you can, please make sure your suggestions have something to do with Science Fiction. It doesn't matter if it comes from movies, television, comics, cartoons, toys, or something else entirely... all we ask is that it has something to do with science fiction and/or outer space. To help get your creative juices flowing, here's a small sampling of the happy chaos that can be found on our previous pixel prints:
I'm really excited about this next print, as Pox and I already have a really good start on it and it's looking great. Also, for those of you who haven't had a chance to pick up our "8-bit Worlds Collide" prints, they're still available here. So many pixel battles being fought simultaneously all on one poster!
Alright, start posting your suggestions here in this thread and maybe your ideas will end up on our next big pixel print!
This past week I was on another episode of Screen Junkies' "Movie Fights", and once again, it came right down to the final question to decide the outcome. In this one, we discuss everything from The Fantastic Four to the Indiana Jones franchise being rebooted, and much more. You can watch the full episode here:

"We are fascinated by the stories of companies that are innovating and thriving in our region - driving job growth and fueling the economy when we need it most," said San Francisco Business Times publisher, Mary Huss. "These are inspiring companies that have valued business lessons and best practices to share with our readers."
Haiku is a perfect example of one of these companies, with its socially and environmentally responsible practices and commitment to creating awareness and positive change. Launched in 2004, Haiku is now available in close to 500 doors nationwide and has experienced double-digit growth over the last several years.

EDIT: My Commission Info has MOVED, please see here for pricing and terms: wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/…
Welcome To WildSpiritWolf's FAQ Section!
If you have a question that I've missed and you'd like to see me add it to the list, reply to this journal entry and I will update it with the answer. Kay, here we go...
Q. How long have you been drawing?
A. I've been drawing ever since I could hold a pencil, but I've only been seriously drawing since about 2001. That's when I first started to really explore the internet. It led me to find some of the great artists like Auryanne, Moon Wang, and Snowy who ended up intensely inspiring me and starting my artwork along the path it's on today.
Q. Where do you find your inspiration?
A. The biggest and best place I find my inspiration would be from my own thoughts and feelings. Drawing from my emotions especially with music on in the background can be one of the most productive ways for me to come up with creative poses and ideas. I also find a lot of inspiration in other artists' artwork, many of them are here on DevART though I appreciate many of the classic artists' work too. Another place I find inspiration is looking at animals. Pets, animals on TV, or photos of animals are all good, readily available sources.
Q. What inspired you to start drawing tribal designs and Celtic knotwork?
A. I found inspiration for my tribal designs from a scrap of paper that someone else had anonymously doodled on and left behind. Their style was abstract, raw, and intensely inspiring to me. From that inspiration, I drew this: fav.me/de4o35 and things kind of took off from there.
My knotwork style (example: wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/… ) isn't true Celtic work but actually developed as my attempt at mimicking it to the best of my ability. I have since gotten a great book that teaches the methods of Celtic knotwork construction (book here: www.amazon.com/Celtic-Art-Cons… ) so I can now do proper, traditional Celtic designs as in this piece: wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/…
Q. How did you come up with the name "WildSpiritWolf"?
There's something that has long since drawn me to the idea of a spirit that's as wild and unbroken as the earth's natural forces. It fascinates and inspires me and I wanted a name that brought that strength to mind. I used the name "WildSpirit" on my first artsite (Lion King Fanart Archive) and tried to use it here on DevART but it was already taken. So I just tacked the word "Wolf" onto the end of it and that's how it came about.
Q. What is your favorite breed of dog?
A. My favorite breed of dog is the German Shepherd, but I also adore Huskies, Bernese Mountain dogs and many of the breeds in the sight hound group. The rare Welsh Collie is also a breed that I'm quite partial to.
Q. What do you use to color your pictures? It's so smooth, is it digital?
A. No, the majority of them are actually done by hand with my set of 120 Prismacolor colored pencils and blended with the colorless blender pencils also made by the Prismacolor company. As of recently, I've also been doing some of my artwork with Copics.
Q. Where do you get your Prismacolor colored pencils, Micron pens and Super Sculpey?
A. I purchase mine at Hobby Lobby or Michael's craft store. Dick Blick is also a good store when it comes to art supplies. If you don't have any good art stores in your area, try looking up what you want on Google. There's a good chance you'll find what you're looking for.
Q. What kind of paper do you use?
A. For the majority of my pictures, I use standard, 8.5x11" printer paper. The exceptions are when commissioners want to upgrade to something of higher quality. I have some acid-free Strathmore paper for that purpose as well as several different papers with various colors/patterns. For when I'm going to use Copic markers, I have some smooth-finish paper that is something between average paper and cardstock. I get this particular paper from a friend and am not sure where one would get it otherwise.
Q. What do you use to sharpen your Prismacolor colored pencils?
A. I use an old style school pencil sharpener that my dad has had since his college days. It works fairly well for the most part but when I saw the cute, little, "official Prismacolor sharpener" hanging in the store, I had to buy one and try it out for myself. It gives the pencils a sharper point but there is a much higher chance of breaking a lead when I'm using that stupid thing. So, I switch back and forth between the old-school pencil sharpener and my Prismacolor sharpener depending on what type of point I want and whether or not the pencil lead is behaving.
Q. Your pictures are always so bright and clear. Do you have a special scanner?
A. I had a Hewlett-Packard 1210 but I upgraded to a Canon Pixma MX850 scanner at the end of '08 so all my new pictures will be scanned with this one. Once the art is scanned in, I use Photoshop to whiten the whites, darken the blacks, and, if the picture is a color one, bring the colors as close as possible to what the original art looks like in person.
Q. How do you make your sculptures and what clay do you use?
A. I start with an armature made from florist's wire. Once it's shaped roughly into the animal that I'm creating, I then wrap aluminum foil over the entire frame, making it thicker in the head, chest, hips and if it has a fluffy tail, that area too. Finally I can start adding the clay. Once I'm happy with how it looks, I then bake it in the oven for 25-35 mins. I use oven-bake Sculpey clay. You can find this at most craft stores.
Picture of Super Sculpey in box: i16.photobucket.com/albums/b35…
Picture of WIP sculptures: wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/… wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/…
Q. What do you use to paint your sculptures?
A. I use Windsor & Newton's "Finity" acrylic paints. To finish, I spray a protective coating of Krylon fixative over the entire sculpture. To give the character a more "alive" look, I've taken to glossing their eyes and nose. It makes'em cute. ^_^
Q. What are Copics?
A. They're the world's most awesome and amazing markers! They're made in Japan but they're starting to get a lot easier to find at art stores in the States now. They're about six bucks apiece but they're such high quality (and loads of fun to use), it's all worth it. Here is a link to a very informative Copic FAQ page: copicmarker.com/faq.html
Q. Where can you buy Copic markers?
A. I get most of my Copics at Hobby Lobby but they also sell them at Dick Blick art supplies and other specialty art stores. There are many online retailers that sell them as well.
Q. Which would you say is better, Prismacolor markers or Copic markers?
A. I can't really say since I've never used the Prismacolor markers myself but I've found this Copic vs. Prismacolor tutorial to be well put together and informative: www.deviantart.com/deviation/1…
Q. What do you ink your lineart and tattoos with?
A. I use Micron inking pens ranging in sizes from 005 to 05 for the lineart and the tattoos. Micron pens are about $3 each. Recently I've tried out Faber-Castell's inking pens and they're quite nice. These run at about $3.50 each. If there are large expanses of black area in the tattoo design I'm working on, I also use a fine point Sharpie marker or my black Copic marker to fill them in.
Q. When sketching, do you start with a circle for the head?
A. Yes, I do start with a circle for the head but it's usually a really rough circle and sometimes the finished face of my character isn't even all the way inside the circle. I put it there as a rough guideline mostly.
Q. How do you keep the color in your colored pencil drawings from covering up the lineart?
A. I have to go back over my lines and scratch off the filmy layer that the pencils have made with the pentip of one of my Microns that no longer has any ink left in it. Do not use your good Microns for this task since the oils/wax from the pencil will clog up your Micron and it will stop working. I've ruined many a good pen this way. Or if you sharpen the tip of your black colored pencil to a nice point and go over all of the outline with it, this also works very well.
Q. How do you do your artwork?
A. What I know is from years of observation and practice. As of yet, I have never attended any formal art classes and everything I know is pretty much self taught or random tips I've picked up from around the internet.
Q. Can you teach me? Will you put up tutorials?
A. I don't have the time to take each one of you and teach you how to create art the way I do. You'll have to figure out how to do that on your own. For tutorials, no. I simply and completely lack the interest to make one. I might take a fancy to the idea and try one out in the future, but for now, I have plenty of commissions and personal art I'd rather be doing.
Q. Well, if you can't teach me, do you have any tips you could spare?
A. Sure. Always pay close attention to what you see in front of you. If you have a dog or a cat, watch how they move, feel their paws, ears and such to get a better idea of how everything comes together. Another big help to me has been learning the internal structure of the animal I'm trying to draw. I recommend How To Draw Animals by Jack Hamm because his book really does that method of learning justice. I also have several animal toys and figures that (in my opinion) have exceptionally good anatomy. Do not keep the figures with bad anatomy sitting around. What you see goes in and comes out later. Only study the ones that will further your skills. I recommend:
Many of the Hagen Renaker figurines: animalfigurinesgallery.com/Min…
Most of the Papo big cats and all dinosaurs: www.papo-france.com/Collection…
Windstone Editions sculptures: www.windstoneeditions.com/inde…
Most Breyer models: www.identifyyourbreyer.com/ide…
And even the Playmobil animals: www.animobil.info/text/wit-toc…
Playmobil's animals aren't very detailed but the body structure is close to perfect and is a big help for learning body proportions for that animal in the simplest of terms, which leads me to my final tip. If it's too difficult; simplify, simplify, simplify and build up from there.
Q. You're a good artist, will you consider doing an art trade/request for me?
A. No, I'm busy enough with commissions and I just don't have the time anymore. If you would like to place an order for a commission, please check out my commission info and pricing posted as a link at the top of this journal and contact me by DevNote if you're interested.
Q. I really like your art. Do you mind if I DevWatch you?
A. By all means, if you enjoy seeing my artwork show up in your message center, go ahead and DevWatch me. I don't mind at all.
Q. Why don't you use Photoshop to color your pictures? They'd look so much better if you did.
A. I finally got my Wacom tablet at the end of '08 and the PS4 program shortly after. My goal is to slowly practice myself into this new way of doing art but since commissions, personal art, and life in general have a way of keeping me busy, my practice in the world of digital art is going to take some time.
Q. Why don't you post more of your colored pencil pictures like you used to? I'm getting tired of seeing so many B&W tribals.
A. My commission work takes up so much of my time and creative energy that I rarely have time to do my own art anymore. And with most of my commissions being the B&W tribal designs, that is the majority of what I end up posting.
Q. How many of the people who buy your designs actually get them tattooed?
A. I'm not sure how many of the people who've bought a design from me have actually followed through and gotten it inked. Some of them do send me pictures of their completed designs and when they do, I place that link in the tattoo picture's description.
Q. Why didn't you respond to my comment/note?
A. I receive many, many comments on a regular basis and I just do not have the time to respond to each one. I am sorry to not be able to participate more but I do read and enjoy every single one and I thank you all for your thoughts and critiques.
With notes, I read and try to respond to all of them (even if it takes me a week or two to get to it) so if you have something important to ask, a DevNote is the best way to reach me. Every now and then DevART is fritzy and the notes don't go through or I accidentally delete a chunk of my notes, but both of these occurrences are pretty rare.
Q. I'm trying to get signatures for this petition or raise money for (insert cause or reason here) and I was wondering if you could post something about this in your journal?
A. No. I'm sorry to not help out with this but I get several people asking me to post stuff up in my journal for them on a regular basis for all sorts of different reasons and I need to keep it fair. Again, I'm sorry to decline your request but my personal journal isn't meant to be a public bulletin board. Exceptions are made on an extremely rare basis.
Q. Can I use your artwork on RP forums/Neopets/MySpace/Bebo/Orkut/etc...?
A. No. I feel very strongly against having my artwork showing up on the public forums and other places like that. My pictures featuring my characters are just that... mine. I put time, thought, and love into each of my characters and I don't enjoy seeing them being reused as someone else's "personal" characters.
My commissioned artwork featuring other people's characters is off-limits as well. Any characters featured are the copyrighted work of someone else and belong to them so please do not reuse.
Q. Can I repost your images on PhotoBucket/Flickr/Webshots/etc...?
A. NO. Please do not repost my images anywhere without my given consent.
Q. I love this tattoo design! Can I use it?
A. No, all commissions are created for the sole use of the commissioner. I can create a similar custom design for you if you'd like to order a commission. Commission prices are listed below.
Q. Is it alright if I use parts of your tattoo designs and use them as a base for mine? I will alter it to make it not exactly the same as yours.
A. Still, no. My designs were created only for the use of my customers; not for someone else to redraw, alter, or reuse in any way or for any purpose.
Q. If you don't want people resuing your art, why do you post it online?
A. This is an art gallery. I'm going to post my art. Also, being an art gallery, it is not a Clipart CD nor is it a collection of generic flash designs at a tattoo parlor and it shouldn't be used as such. Please respect my art and my terms.
Q. But isn't imitation the highest form of flattery? Why wouldn't you be happy that I want to recreate your art or get it tattooed on my skin?
A. I'm sorry but I don't see how being stolen from or ripped off is flattering in any way. Again, we come back to the respect thing: if you really enjoy an artist's works, copying and stealing from them is not the way to go.
Q. Can I use your art to practice my animal anatomy, tribal designs, etc.?
A. Yes, you may use it for practice but only if you agree to not post any of your practice work that was derived from my art anywhere online or use it for any purpose other than practice.
For a more in depth look at the ways that I do not permit my art to be used, please see here: wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/…
Q. Can I do some fanart of your characters?
Yes, of course. In fact, I'd be honored if you did; I love seeing other artist's interpretations of my characters. Just show it to me when it's done because I wanna see it too, okay? ^_^

WildSpiritWolf's FAQ by WildSpiritWolfWatch
©2007-2015 WildSpiritWolf
I'd love to do some fanart x3 I just don't exactly know how to post it in good quality because you see I only do drawing fanart not computerized. I only color line arts until I get a tablet.
i love sculpting with polymer clay, but i have a hard time using the wire then with foil any tips? (btw i love how smooth and beatiful your sculptures are! )
Please check out my FAQ section found here: wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/… I have a lot of art tips and stuff in there for anyone who's interested.
I already did, and i love all the tips you gave but im still having trouble.
Did you try creating the armature wire with one continuous piece of wire? If you use multiple pieces, it will fall apart more readily, I speak from experience!
You have given me some great ideas thank you for all your great tips
Wow your such an amazing artist and thanks for the tips😉
Thx this really helped and you are like my idol for drawing. I have improved my drawings by just taking hours of looking through you artwork and practicing you ways. For my hopes are one day I might just be as good at drawing as you.
I'm happy that my artwork has been able to serve as an inspiration to you. And as long as you keep practicing and bettering yourself and your skills, you will one day definitely reach the skill level you wish to be at.
Thank you! This really helped! I'm new to DevArt and you are very inspirational for me to draw wolves.
I recently made a clay wolf I wondered how do u deal with air bubbles once the clay is baked???i know your good at making clay sculptures so I thort I would ask u

Hello! I'm Winged Trucker and I'm new to DevART. I wanted to let you know that you are my inspirational artist and I absolutely love your artwork. I know you might be busy but if you have time would be able to spare some tips on sculpting like after you cook the clay do u carve and some tips about the wire. Thank you for ur time.
i use promarkers... is there a big difference between promarkers and copics???
i use prismacolors too,
You are so alike to me on the first section of questions! What if you are the future me? (Just joking ^^)
One question I thought I would ask is would it be ok to use you're wolf characters body structure to help make my character's body (because I'm not that good without looking at a body reference) for my comic book I'm making and I thought would ask you if it was ok before I post it. Btw I love you're drawings absolutely amazing.
If it is for solely personal practice, that's fine. However, I'd rather you not repost it around the internet or use it for anything other than practice. Thanks!
I have a coloress blender Pencil, and how do you mix it in do you press lightly or hard, because when I try it I always get the strokes of when i colored it so =/ Any input of yours would be very helpful, Thanks!!
I use hard strokes when using my colorless blender. Light strokes don't blend the colored pencil color fully.
How do you do your fur shading? I know I've probably asked you this before but you know... do you know any good references?
I start with my lightest colors and work in layers. I'm sorry, I don't know of any tutorials or refs that teach this as it is something that I came up with on my own.
Ah, thank you very very much! I'll keep this in mind as I work on my shading in the future!- Again, thanks for taking time to reply to this!
how much do your wolf clay sculptures cost
I'm looking in to sculpting wolves with clay. If you don't mind me asking, how long does it take you? Is it fiddly and REALLY hard?
You get better with time but initially yes, sculpting was pretty fiddly for me. Nowadays, the endeavor is much more straight forward and if I stay focused and push myself, I can get a sculpture done in a couple days.
Hey I was wondering if you've ever used staedtler pigment fine liners? I know that you do the line art, color, then go over it again and sometimes it ruins the micron pen, but I've been using staedtler fine liners and I have not had many problems with them getting ruined! Maybe one or two but I've been using the same for months and always use them to do the second line! Works well!
I've actually found that going over my lines with a well-sharpened black colored pencil works surprisingly well and lets me darken up my lineart without the need of any ink pens.
I do own a couple Staedtler Pigment Liners in the 03 size and I use them sometimes when my Microns are acting up. The Staedtler pens seem a lot less fussy and have saved me in some situations when I'm trying to get a piece done but the Microns are throwing tantrums. In spite of this, I still prefer inking with Microns because it is easier to get consistent, sharp edges with them. The Staedtlers, though awesome in some regards, remain as trusty back-up pens.

Hmmm I guess I've just never thought of a black colored pencil as that great but ill have to try it! Do you use it for non colors pics as well?
Any design I make that does not have colored pencil in it in not in danger of having its lines mucked up by pencil so no, I don't have to do any line darkening for designs that were made all with pen.
There is nothing in your FAQ that I saw on how to draw anthro hands
You might have noticed that I don't even have any characters with anthro hands in my gallery. This is all I've got.
Q. Well, if you can't teach me, do you have any tips you could spare?
A. Sure. Always pay close attention to what you see in front of you. If you have a dog or a cat, watch how they move, feel their paws, ears and such to get a better idea of how everything comes together. Another big help to me has been learning the internal structure of the animal I'm trying to draw.

I also have several animal toys and figures that (in my opinion) have exceptionally good anatomy. Do not keep the figures with bad anatomy sitting around. What you see goes in and comes out later.

you have inspired me to start drawing wolves. Is it okay if I use your drawings as a model to practice drawing wolves until I get the hang of it? I will not post any of my recreations on devianart.
If they are for solely personal practice, that's fine. However, I'd rather you not repost any of them around the internet or use them for anything other than practice. Thanks!
Do you have any tips for perfecting anatomy while drawing?
ei- head to body, neck length and legs?

What kind of wire do you use for your sculptures? Can you show me the wire "frame" of one of them? I'm trying to learn to sculpt my drawings but I don't know how.
Hey WildSpiritWolf Ive always been excited to get my first and only tattoo. If i commission you to do a design i know it'd be meaningful and beautiful.
If i commissioned you, would i be able to take the design into a tattoo studio and have it done on me? Or would this break your copyrights?
Answer appreciated

"You must have a lot of work to do," he says as he smiles and hands me my coffee. I drink a lot of coffee, and the gentleman at the café on this train has been pouring cup after cup for me for about seven hours now. I laugh and make some joke about fitting in in the city that never sleeps. We chat for a minute or two, just as we have each time I've returned for a refill.
"See? Small talk isn't so hard," I tell myself. It's a lie. Small talk, for me, IS hard. Even though I do it every day. Even when I can fake it pretty well. Even when it's about something I love as much as coffee.
In a few hours, I'll be at the conference. I love going to big professional events like this… learning about new technologies, hearing success stories, feeling motivated, and I really do enjoy meeting new people.
But enjoying something doesn't mean it's easy to do.
You see, in my everyday life, I'm fairly socially awkward. Shy. Self-conscious. Anxious. It's more about my appearance/presentation than my strengths/talents – I'm fairly confident in those. But talents don't come into play when I start to think everyone is looking at me. Or that nobody is. And I can only feign arrogance for so long.
I think those who know me well find my career choice puzzling. Being in marketing forces me to fake a certain level of social comfort every single day. I'm grateful for that though, and fear that without it, I might just hide away from the world.
I am also grateful for social media, which has allowed me to connect with people from all over the world in all walks of life without any of that in-person awkwardness. Social media presents an opportunity for authenticity that is often missing from initial meetings. (Not that there aren't fakes & frauds on Twitter or other platforms….) But online, I am me and I don't really hide. If you don't want to look, don't. I'll never know you didn't.
There is something freeing about going away to large conferences. It's a chance to be in your professional element and yet surrounded by thousands of people you don't know, most of whom you'll never see again. To go out on a limb and say hi. To tweet a fellow attendee. To ask a question… Out loud. To drop all of the anxiety bullshit and see what happens. To reflect. To breathe. To enjoy. And to make small talk on the train.

I am trying to help the owner of this WP site http://www.lpod.org/ do image mouseovers like his old site http://www.lpod.org/archive/LPOD-2005-05-27.htm , so far with no success.
Neither of us know much HTML but if there is a way to do this it would be really helpful for a site like this as you can see from the example. I have tried pasting this XHTML code (which works fine outside of WP) into the page content code window but it doesn't work -
I've looked around the Codex for information about inputing code but ended up tied in knots (several times), so I hope I haven't missed something obvious.
Can WP do image mouseovers?
Thank you!

TUPPER LAKE The Wild Center\Natural History Museum of the Adirondacks will officially unveil its new Wings over the Adirondacks bird-themed experience on Wednesday, July 4 in Tupper Lake during the Wild Centers second annual WildFest.
To help shape the Wings over the Adirondacks experience, Wild Center staff traveled the country meeting with some of the nations top ornithologists, including experts from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology and the American Museum of Natural History in New York, said Leah Filo, Wild Center staff biologist.
The Adirondack region is unique because of the vast tracts of land where birds can exist without habitat interruption. Its possible to see more than 70 species on the museum campus alone, and these birds have amazing stories, such as how some influence the ecology of the Adirondack forest from as far away as South America, or how a bird native to Southeast Asia made its way to the Adirondacks. Through the new Wings over the Adirondacks experience, well offer visitors the opportunity to see how birds actually drive the systems around them, said Filo.
The Wings over the Adirondacks experience will include the following programs:
SeeingSound: This surround-sound multimedia feature will allow visitors to get a birds-ear view of the Adirondack forest and understand just how birds and other creatures see the places they live. The media experience will let people leave with a whole new way of looking at the world around them.
Birdland: An outdoor living exhibit will showcase more than 35 examples that will help visitors see how to enhance bird habitat. The exhibit will also feature ways birds interact with and are affected by their surroundings, and how they shape the forest. Hummingbirds, for example, incorporate the elastic fibers of a spiders web in their nests, and depend on spiders for food. More spiders can mean more hummingbirds, and more hummingbirds mean more pollination.

Dowagiac grad appears in 'Real Steel'Published 10:32pm Tuesday, October 11, 2011
Chris Hodshire spent 2 1/2 weeks of his 2010 summer vacation pursuing his "hobby," film acting.
An extra's life can be exhilarating, like when Hugh Jackman strikes up a conversation, but it can be demoralizing when your scenes get "edited" and wind up on the cutting room floor.
Happily for Hodshire, the No. 1 box office draw in America, "Real Steel," an action-packed film directed by Shawn Levy and set in underground robot fight clubs in the near future, pleasantly "surprised" him.
The 1991 Dowagiac Union High School graduate saw "Real Steel" since it opened Oct. 7 and found he made it safely onto the big screen.
As a cowboy, no less.
"A robot fights a buffalo at a rodeo. I am a spectator in the rodeo," Chris explained Tuesday night. "I am also in a part where the robot's arm gets knocked off and three little girls pick it up — the movie director's daughters — as well as a scene behind Hugh Jackman playing a guitar.
"Another part — featured role — right after Hugh Jackman is done with the fair and moving onto a new part of the movie. And a few other parts, including the main event at the end. Working in 'Real Steel' was an absolute blast, far more than I expected."
Since his day job is teaching social work at Western Michigan University, it might be tempting to guess this is Hodshire's movie debut, but he also appeared in 2009's "Street Boss," based on the true story of how the FBI brought down one of Detroit's most notorious mobsters.
Actors included Nicholas Turturro and Vincent Pastore.
Hodshire, who also graduated from Southwestern Michigan College, had been a featured extra in "Street Boss" — a step above being an extra that sometimes includes talking lines.
Earlier in 2010, WMU ran a three-month television commercial featuring Hodshire and his son, both with lines.
"Many people from Dowagiac never knew about his involvement in the movie until a few days ago because of the contract Chris had with the company Dream Works," according to his wife, Lydia. "Now he is allowed to give out the details and his involvement," such as the tight security during the secluded shoot in Hartland in Livingston County.
Extras are discouraged from conversing with actors unless the latter initiates the exchange. Jackman is Australian and Hodshire's wife is from Singapore, so they chatted about that.
Jackman "is a great guy, down to earth," Hodshire said, although he never crossed paths with Evangeline Lilly.
Hodshire, who has been interested in acting since Edith Carey's improv class at DUHS, said he answered a casting call in Detroit along with 2,000 others.
The tryout was conducted at a factory, where the line stretched all the way around it. The throng was pared to 300, then to 150.

to some degree they are an attempt at trolling but don't think for a second that they aren't %100 based on what I believe. I've been fascinated with MX since 1971. in the 80's when I was in the navy my exposure to the sport was mostly grocery store magazine stands. but I wasn't any less pre occupied with it. I may not be able to ride it anymore but I still eat sleep and breath it.
yes I think RC is not worthy of title goat. I also think he's a horrible broadcaster and commentator to put it nicely he sucks at it. Shaheen is better so there I said it. I also think asterisk sucks at what they do. disagree all you want but if EMT's picked somebody up like a sack of potatos who just wadded up a street bike there would be lawsuits. I'm not saying they don't mean well and in some cases quick action is required but only some. you err to the side of caution when dealing with head and neck and thats what a lot of these have the potential to be. thats why they make spine boards! turns out Reed had a broken back at Dallas in 2012 and the guy did pick him up and run across the track with him. multiple broken bones. like most other things in life asterisk has a lot of room for improvement. god forbid somebody points that out.

Banahan, CP; Perks, D; Baker, C; Woodbridge, K; (2010) GMTI clutter cancellation using real non-ideal data. IET RADAR SONAR NAV , 4 (2) 302 - 314. 10.1049/iet-rsn.2009.0057.
Full text not available from this repository.
The performance of displaced phase centre antenna (DPCA), adaptive DPCA (ADPCA) and joint domain localised space time adaptive processing (JDL-STAP) was examined when applied to data that were not gathered for ground moving target indication (GMTI) purposes, and using very few array elements. Three different methods to be applied at the pre-processing stage to match pulses from different spatial channels were compared. The ADPCA method was shown to be the most robust in the presence of signals leaked from other range cells while traditional DPCA proved to be the most effective at attenuating stationary targets in non-ideal conditions, providing that pre-processing, using a pulse shift and a ramp in phase, was applied to the data. Quantitative results are presented, which are drawn from real experiments using real airborne radar data and which provide a valuable insight into the tolerance of DPCA, ADPCA and STAP when put to use with few spatial channels on non-ideal data. The study shows that all three GMTI algorithms used with few antenna elements can successfully resolve moving targets from clutter in such data and discusses the limitations of each in suppressing unwanted stationary peaks.

Kansas City Southern reported a second-quarter 2010 profit of $34.6 million, or 34 cents a share, compared with $6.5 million or seven cents a share in last year's second quarter, thus easily beating Wall Street's consensus estimate of 46 cents for this year quarter. The company also slashed its operating ratio to 72.4%, a record, from 87.4% a year ago.
(KCS said the temporary interruption of some of its Mexican operations by Hurricane Alex would reduce profits by about five cents per share this year. It said most losses will be covered by insurance.)
Revenue rose to $461.6 million in this year's second quarter, up 35% from the 2009 period. KC said growth wasstrong across the board, with automotive revenue up 292% over second-quarter 2009 on increased auto production in Mexico. Intermodal revenue increased 54% as new business lanes and organic volume growth continued to improve. Other improvements were 42% for Agriculture & Minerals; 31% for Industrial & Consumer Products; 25% for Coal; and 18% for Chemical & Petroleum.
Operating income for the second quarter was $127.2 million, representing a 195% increase from a year ago. Operating expenses in the second quarter increased 12% from a year ago to $334.4 million.
Chairman Michael J. Haverty (pictured at left) commented:
"A year ago, KCS was in the depths of the worst freight recession since the Great Depression. Over the last year, we have seen a steady improvement in traffic levels ... During the quarter, KCS continued to bring on new business and improve operating margins. The reported 72.4% operating ratio is a 15 percentage point improvement from a year ago, and represents a record operating ratio for KCS. Operating expenses excluding fuel were up just 3% on strong increases in volume, demonstrating the continued operating leverage KCS has been able to achieve.
"We raised approximately $215 million from an equity offering during the quarter, and along with existing cash on our balance sheet, we announced plans to reduce our debt levels by $300 million," Haverty said. "At the end of the second quarter, we had retired approximately $237 million of this debt, and plan to retire the remainder of the announced $300 million during the third quarter. Including the refinancing in January, these transactions significantly improve our financial strength by reducing leverage and lowering our interest expense by approximately $40 million per year. On June 21, 2010, Standard & Poor's upgraded the company's long-term ratings to BB- from B and on June 28, 2010, Moody's Investors Service raised its outlook to positive. Coupled with strong free cash flow being generated by our operations, our financial flexibility has improved substantially."
BNSF late Monday announced that the strike price, the Highway Diesel Fuel (HDF) price at which BNSF will assess a fuel surcharge, will be reset from $1.25 per gallon to $2.50 per gallon. This change, BNSF said, reflects current fuel pricing trends which on a sustained basis have averaged above $2.50 since 2005.
The change applies to BNSF's mileage-based and percent-of-revenue fuel surcharge programs for Agricultural Products, Industrial Products, Coal, and Automotive shipments beginning next January. Intermodal shipments will not be affected, BNSF said.
The change applies to BNSF's mileage-based and percent-of-revenue fuel surcharge programs for Agricultural Products, Industrial Products, Coal, and Automotive shipments beginning next January. Intermodal shipments will not be affected, BNSF said.
Underlying base rates will be appropriately adjusted to reflect the new strike price.
"Based on continual monitoring of our fuel programs and input from our customers, BNSF is not only rebasing, but will also develop and institute a program that compensates our customers when HDF falls below the strike price for an extended period," said John Lanigan, executive vice president and chief marketing officer.
Tables reflecting the new strike price and other program details are available on the BNSF website at www.bnsf.com/customers/fuel-surcharge/. BNSF said its sales and marketing representatives will provide customers with additional details as they become available in the coming months.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced the award of just over $300 million in federal loans to the Denver Union Station project, which will include a light rail terminal consisting of three tracks and two platforms for existing and planned routes and an intercityand regional rail facility with eight passenger tracks and platform.
The DOT announcement said the loans will be made through "an unprecedented and historic innovative financing arrangement using the Department of Transportation's Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF) Program and the Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) Program." The project for the first time combines loans from both programs.
The loans are being awarded to the Denver Union Station Project Authority (DUSPA), a non-profit, public benefit entity formed by the city in July 2008, through a partnership with the Regional Transportation District (RTD), City and County of Denver, Colorado Department of Transportation, Denver Regional Council of Governments, and Denver Union Station Metropolitan District.
Together the TIFIA and RRIF loans constitute approximately 58% of all funding sources for the project. An RTD bond as well as tax increment revenues pledged to DUSPA will be used to repay the debt.
Kansas City Southern's Mexican subsidiary, Kansas City Southern de Mexico, reopened the flood-damaged Anahuac Bridge lateSaturday and said it expected to operate 25 to 30 trains over the Nuevo Laredo gateway by late Monday. It removed service embargoes established July 3 in the aftermath of Hurricane Alex.
"We are very pleased to have the Nuevo Laredo gateway opened again for cross border traffic," said KCS President and COO Dave Starling."Given the magnitude of the damage to this bridge, coupled with the difficult conditions under which our crews had to work, it is a great accomplishment that we were able to put the Anahuac Bridge back into service this weekend and plan to lift the embargoes tomorrow night."
"The disruption of service caused by Hurricane Alex has been very significant; however, our team has worked very hard to restore service to our customers as quickly as possible," said KCSM Presidentand executive representative Jose Zozaya. "We will continue to work very closely with each of our customers to resume the normal flow of traffic to their facilities."
MTA New York City Transit announced that the final units of a 1,662-RF160 car order have now been delivered by the joint venture of Alstom and Kawasaki and are in service on the system's lettered lines. The high-tech cars were unloaded from flatbed trucks in May and rolled into the 207th Street Maintenance Facility. They were moving riders along the system's lettered lines about a month later.
The cars were funded in the New York MTA's 2005-2009Capital Program with money provided by the Federal Transit Administration.Deliveries began began nearly five years ago and since then, said NYCT, "the fleet has earned a reputation for high reliability, recently operating an average of more than 370,000 miles between mechanical failures."
The new cars have digital information boards and the Flexible Information Notice Display (FIND) system, which incorporates a video screen, scrolling station names as the train progresses, and a route map that can be changed if a train switches to another line. Like the R142 cars that have been in service since late 2000 on the numbered lines, the R160s have an advanced heating and cooling system designed to be easier to maintain than the units in older cars.
Operating ad maintenance features include computer-monitored throttles and speedometers for better control and smoother ride and an onboard, computerized diagnostic system that allows quicker repair when a failure does occur.
Now retired are 1,500 subway cars in service more than 40 years. Most of these cars have been stripped, cleaned, and placed on the Atlantic seafloor where they joined more than 1,000 redbirds as artificial reef material. A few have ended up as exhibits in the MTA's New York Transit Museum in Brooklyn.
Fairport, N.Y.-based RailComm said Monday it has provided the Track Warrant Control (TWC) system for the Wisconsin & Southern Railroad Co. RailComm's state-of-the-art Domain Operations Controller (DOC®) train control system is accessed through a web-enabled Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery model.
RailComm's SaaS offering provides a "pay-as-you-go" model, thus eliminating capital equipment procurement constraints. Through the SaaS delivery system, trains are remotely dispatched by Milwaukee-based Wisconsin & Southern wherever an internet connection is available. Therefore, it ispossible to relocate the dispatchers to alternative locations as required. Additionally, railroad management can log in from an office, home, or even from a hotel and directly view dispatching activity and management reports.
The DOC® control application resides on servers withinRailComm's managed data center in Rochester, N.Y., reducing a railroad's requirement for local IT support.
Wisconsin & Southern has twice been named Railway Age Regional Railroad of the Year, honored in 2001 and in 2009.
The Surface Transportation Board announced Friday that its Section of Environmental Analysis has issued the Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the proposed construction, operation, and reactivation of a 20-mile rail line between Wallaceton and Gorton, Pa. by R.J. Corman Railroad Co. Pennsylvania Lines Inc.
Corman plans to build a new 10.8-mile line over abandoned right-of-way and reactivate a connecting 9.3-mile rail-banked line. Corman says the resulting line could serve a new landfill, quarry, and an industrial park as well as "several other interested shippers." Two unit trains daily are envisioned.
On Sept. 14, SEA and cooperating agencies will hold a public meeting in the proposed project area to receive comments on the Draft EIS. Written comments on must be postmarked by Sept. 28, 2010.
Mitigation measures in the DRAFT EIS are mainlythose voluntarily offered by the applicant and covering grade crossing delay,rail operations safety, land use, energy resources, air quality, noise, threatened and endangered species, wetlands and watercourses, parks and recreation facilities, geology and soils, hazardous waste sites, and historic resources.
Bombardier Transportation announced in Berlin Friday that along with consortium partner Vossloh Kiepe it has won an order from the Krakow, Poland, for 14 low-floor FLEXITY Classic trams valued at $76 million. Bombardier's share is worth approximately $50 million. Bombardier will build the trams at its plant in Bautzen, Germany.
Bombardier also announced an order for 40 metro cars worth about $55 million from India's Delhi Metro Rail Corp. Ltd. The deal adds to last month's $101 million order by Delhi Metro for 74 cars. Once the order is filled in 2011, Delhi Metro will be operating a fleet of 538 of Bombardier's MOVIA metro cars.
Bombardier signed its first contract with Delhi Metro in July 2007 and opened a manufacturing plant in Savli, Gujarat, in November 2008. Once an expansion of the Delhi Metro is complete, the system will carry 2.5 million passengers a day and cover 165 kilometers in the city of 16 million inhabitants.
"We applaud the leadership of Senators Lautenberg, Murray, and Cantwell in advancing the nation's freight policy and promoting public-private partnerships that enable the safe and efficient movement of goods by rail," said AAR President and CEO Edward R. Hamberger (pictured at left).
"This bill recognizes the importance of rail in that national policy—as the safest, most fuel efficient and highly cost effective way to move both people and goods," Hamberger said. "Freight railroads can move one ton of freight 480 miles on a single gallon of fuel and provide the vital link between American businesses and the global marketplace. Freight rail is well positioned to help meet the goals envisioned by the Senators, and outlined in this bill."
Lautenberg, chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, said Senate bill S. 3629 would direct the Department of Transportation to develop and implement a National Freight Transportation Strategic Plan. In addition, it would create an Office of Freight Planning and Development to target grant money enhancing freight rail routes, ports, and multimodal infrastructure. Some observers noted a lack of any focus on truck-specific items.
In a statement, Lautenberg (pictured at right) said, "We are long overdue in establishing a national freight transportation policy that will meet the economic and mobility demands of the 21st century." He added, "Poor planning and underinvestment in our transportation infrastructure has led to increased congestion at our ports, highways, airports, and railways, and increases the cost of doing business. If we want to help U.S. businesses succeed and create new jobs, we need a freight transportation system that works better and can grow with the changing needs of the global economy. This bill would put us on that path."

LONDON, June 9- Cost-cutting is set to remain the main focus for the oil industry for at least the next two years as petroleum producers adjust to an environment of much lower prices.

LONDON, June 4- The slump in crude prices has jolted the oil industry into deep cost cutting which, unlike the previous downturn, could last for a few years at least. A partial rebound in crude prices this year will give service companies such as Baker Hughes, Schlumberger and Petrofac little respite. "Higher prices have led to cost inflation over the past years and...

April 28- National Oilwell Varco Inc, the largest U.S. oilfield equipment maker, reported lower-than-expected quarterly revenue and forecast declining revenue for the next few quarters as weak oil prices reduce drilling activity. The company, which in February warned of a "severe downturn" in its business, said total backlog fell to $11.86 billion in the first...
April 28- National Oilwell Varco Inc, the largest U.S. oilfield equipment maker, posted a 47.4 percent drop in quarterly profit, mainly hurt by $200 million in charges.

WASHINGTON, April 10- The United States is planning to impose a major new regulation on offshore oil and gas drilling to try to prevent the kind of explosions that caused the catastrophic BP Plc oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing Obama administration officials. The Interior Department could make the announcement as...
U.S. oil inventory and capex falls may boost prices modestly near term, but production growth is still too strong for substantial gains, Goldman said.
March 25- General Electric Co said it increased planned job cuts in its Lufkin oilfield equipment unit to 575, as it grapples with pressure on the unit from the drop in oil prices. "As a result of increasingly challenging market conditions, we are announcing additional workforce reductions in our Lufkin business," said Kristin Schwarz, a GE Oil& Gas spokeswoman.
March 25- General Electric Co increased planned job cuts in its Lufkin oilfield equipment unit to 575, as it grapples with pressure on the unit from the drop in oil prices, Bloomberg reported. The move follows GE's notification to regulators in January of the planned layoffs of 330 people at its beam-pumping manufacturing facility in Lufkin, Texas.
The energy industry's failure to use the data it collects means it's not as efficient as it could be, leaving money on the table.
With oil's price collapse, we can now declare that OPEC's reign as king of the market is over.
Oil supply running ahead of demand hasn't just pressured prices, it's also filling up storage space, potentially pushing crude toward another leg down.
Activist hedge funds are buying stakes in North American oil and gas producers whose stocks have fallen because of the collapse of energy prices.
Oil prices will get a heck of a lot worse before they get better, a top industry analyst said on Tuesday.
The sharp drop in U.S. oil rig counts has helped lift crude prices off their lows, but it won't slow production or alleviate oversupply, Goldman said.
Halliburton will layoff between 6.5 and 8 percent of its global staff, the oil field services company said Tuesday.
Job cuts are inevitable as oil prices tumble, but layoffs today could have significant ramifications for the sector tomorrow.
Oil prices have rallied off post-crisis lows, possibly marking the rout's bottom as producers' cutbacks begin pinching supply, some analysts said.
National Oilwell Varco warned of a severe downturn in its business after orders for its drilling parts plunged nearly 90 percent.

This interdisciplinary program then progresses to advanced coursework in the pharmaceutical sciences, including aspects of drug design and synthesis, mechanisms of drug action, pharmacology and toxicology, dosage formulation, manufacturing, quality assurance, and regulatory compliance. The curriculum also includes elective credits for individual preparation and educational focus.
The BSPS program offers practical experience through internship programs in industry, government agencies, and on-campus research laboratories. Students are encouraged to spend at least one summer in an internship.
The faculty also encourages undergraduate students to engage in mentored laboratory research. Numerous undergraduate research opportunities are available in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology and in the Department of Industrial and Physical Pharmacy, during the regular school year and during the summer months as interns.
Career path opportunities with a degree in pharmaceutical sciences include entry-level technical positions in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry; graduate education in pharmaceutical, medical, and basic sciences; and post-baccalaureate professional education in medicine, law, and business. You should recognize that this is not a professional degree program. Completion of the B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences degree requirements does not qualify the student for state board examination to become a registered pharmacist.
