More on Jack Kirby/Marvel Comics; A Brief OverviewBy srbissette on August 4th, 2011
Posted In: News
Honoring A Fallen King, Part 2
What of the House That Jack Built?
If you're new to this blog, or don't know what this Jack Kirby/Marvel Comics verdict is,
You can also go back a couple of posts and read my first Myrant volley over the Kirby/Marvel judgment.
OF COURSE the courts support corporate America; OF COURSE the deposition that mattered was Stan Lee's (without any concern, apparently, over the obvious conflict-of-interest inherent in Stan's position, and that is neither a personal attack nor slander, just an observation of long-standing fact); OF COURSE Stan the Company Man toed the company line, as he has all his life.
Having seen in my own lifetime even close friends do the same, OF COURSE this turned out as it has.
Look, I get it.
I got it on Day One.
The least I can do, individually, is forever after spurn all Marvel Kirby-derivative product.
* I am arguing and asserting that there are moral issues at stake; that there is a need to assert those moral rights, and to question why was and is it that, in the case of the Jack Kirby/Stan Lee cocreations in the Marvel Comics universe, that one co-creator (Stan Lee) has been granted exalted stature, protections, earnings, and benefits above and beyond those granted the other co-creator (Jack Kirby); and, furthermore, to argue and assert that Kirby's heirs have a moral (and legal) argument of merit.
* I am also arguing and asserting that, in accord with that, if all that is left to me, as a consumer, is to no longer support this morally bankrupt system with my revenue—well, then, I will no longer support Marvel Comics and all its uses of Kirby-derivative works (movies, TV programming, comics, video games, books, graphic novels, etc.) with my dollars or cents.
I urge any and all like-minded folks to do the same, but that's up to you, individually.
I will never spend another cent on or with Marvel Comics Kirby-derived products (which, frankly, is most of them) until and unless the Kirby heirs earn, are deeded, awarded, or are granted some portion of those revenues.
This is a possibility Marvel (and Disney) willfully deny and withhold.
* Yes, dividing fair payment from Marvel to all co-creators is the ideal: I'm not saying it's ALL down to Kirby/Lee or Ditko/Lee; I'm using a certain shorthand to try to succinctly articulate my focused ire at the very current Kirby/Marvel legal decision.
This ideal applies across the board, to all involved in key core creation of characters/concepts that fuel entire industries.
As I noted, Len Wein and the late, great Dave Cockrum should have earned, and Len still earn, from their dramatic revamp of The Uncanny X-Men (beyond simply reprint fees or reprint royalties).
You all get the point.
* Accountants and lawyers divvy up income along property lines EVERY MOMENT of EVERY DAY; cutting creators out isn't defensible, when you know how fiscal pies are divided up among various proprietary owners/interests as a matter of course.
Accountants regularly divvy up revenue streams to corporate/company partnerships, proprietors, etc. as a matter of course.
Ensuring the creators share, even a little, in the ongoing earnings, and/or potential earnings, is the issue.
They can; they should; in many cases, some do.
* And as for heirs: PLEASE.
Heirs earn from inherited real estate, patents, companies, stocks, bonds, etc.; this isn't rocket science.
The argument that heirs shouldn't earn from the labors of parent creators is completely and offensively nonsensical bullshit—fortunes, and earnings from ongoing revenue streams, are passed on every day, everywhere. Arguing that real revenue-creating and generating properties like comic book characters/titles/concepts aren't the same turf is more defeatist horseshit.
I want my now-adult kids to forever benefit off any potential earning of anything in my lifetime I've actually created, co-created, and have a legal stake in. Royalties, creator shares, etc. should go to them after I'm gone.
Are some of you actually arguing to the contrary? And if so, on what basis?
* Some have already misinterpreted my position as inherently anti-work-for-hire.
That is not the case I am making.
Understand, work-for-hire isn't the foe per se.
While I share the Graphic Artists Guild's perspective that work-made-for-hire is an inherently corrupt and corrupting legal fiction indulged by our culture, and strongly identify with and empathize with the firm stands against work-for-hire taken by good friends like cartoonist Skip Morrow, the unfortunate fact is that I have tainted my own creative life with work-for-hire, past, present, and future. I still earn income quarterly off my past work-for-hire efforts. I am currently subsidizing work-for-hire efforts on my own characters; I am currently doing work-for-hire work. I am complicit; still, I maintain there are fair work-for-hire practices and contracts.
For instance: given Alan Moore's publicly-known current stance concerning all the work he and I did together that I have any legal proprietary stake in, there is no little irony in the fact (fact) that the only work we did together over our decade of collaborative work together that I can and do earn income from is the work-for-hire work we did together (with John Totleben, Rick Veitch, Alfredo Alcala, John Constanza, and Tatjana Wood, under editors Len Wein and Karen Berger) on Swamp Thing.
There is no little irony in the fact (fact) that the handful of characters/properties I currently own (per contractual arrangment with the respective co-creator) and must apply work-f0r-hire agreements to for any future incarnations are the quartet of characters and pair of titles that were contracted to me in 1998 by Alan Moore after our division of the 1963 creative properties (published in 1993 by Image Comics).
I am not happy about all this, but there it is.
Work-for-hire sans royalties, sans recognition of core creator roles/credit, sans any share of revenues for key creators (as in first-creators, or those creating significant new incarnations of characters which reboot properties, a'la Wein/Cockrum on X-Men) is the problem.
There are work-for-hire contracts, systems, and transactions that do adequately compensate and treat those who work within them—as I noted, DC's dealings with Moore/Totleben/Veitch/Bissette on John Constantine is a case in point.
Furthermore, legally foisting work-for-hire as a legal premise of justification for creative theft, rather than fostering and sustaining creative collaboration in which primary creators of characters/concepts/titles/properties of lasting value to corporate media entities share in the earnings of creative labor, is among the moral issues on the table here for the Kirby family, and for everyone.
Work-for-hire is a fact of legal and professional life in North America, specifically in the industry I worked within for almost three full decades (and have, of late, returned to).
When I drew Swamp Thing, I did not own Swamp Thing, nor did I have any legal claim to own Swamp Thing. I should not have any claim to own Swamp Thing; I didn't create or co-create Swamp Thing.
Work-for-hire language makes it possible for freelancers like me to occasionally work on characters I have neither created, co-created, nor should have any creator or co-creator ownership of.
I have no legal claim to Swamp Thing; yet, I still earn from my labors on Swamp Thing, as I was fortunate enough to collaborate on work of lasting value to the publisher, and which is still in print.
More to the point: I had and have no legal claim to The Demon; yet, I got to draw the Demon, a Jack Kirby creation. I earn royalties to this day from my three-issue Swamp Thing story arc featuring the Demon, who also appeared in subsequent issues of Swamp Thing that Alan Moore, Rick Veitch, John Totleben, and I still earn royalties from.
The same should have been true and possible for Jack Kirby; the same should be true and possible for his heirs, now that Jack is gone.
Let's not get overly simplistic or jingoistic in our passion over this—the legal principles at stake are real, but the ipso facto assumption that work-for-hire is in and of itself the "villain," if you will, is clearly not the case.
Marvel, all along, has made choices, which led to the current situation.
I wish Len and Berni earned something, too, for EVERY Swamp Thing appearance—that, in principle and in fact, is in large part what I'm fighting for, if you will.
But the fact remains that Jack Kirby's work contributed MORE to a SINGLE publisher/media giant—Marvel—than the labors of any other single creator other than Stan Lee in the history of the Silver Age and post-Silver Age.
Kirby is an exception; and an exception can and should be made here.
Again: As is obvious to anyone who knows my work, I have done work-for-hire work, and have often done so earning fair royalties, co-creator shares (specifically from John Constantine, Hellblazer and its various incarnations, merchandizings, and licenses), etc. I continue to occasionally do work-for-hire work (I am now).
Work-for-hire agreements are not in and of themselves unfair or odious, nor do they have to be. Work-for-hire agreements can and often do pay fair rates, guarantee fair royalties, and even grant creators and co-creators fair shares of any and all future exploitation of their respective characters and/or concepts.
However, some of the worst abuses of creators I have seen in this and other fields are linked to work-for-hire language and contracts (specifically, the worst I have ever seen came out of Archie Comics, Disney, and various gaming companies, none of whom I have personally worked for under such contracts, though I have copies of those contracts in my files).
Marvel Comics retroactive work-for-hire contracts were foisted upon me and many of my generation, under reprehensible conditions and terms.
I believe the pattern of behavior from Marvel Comics towards its freelancers should and is under scrutiny here; and the public needs to be made aware of some of these legal issues, these company conditions of "employment" with freelancers and company behaviors toward freelancers—and, above all, the singular extraordinary case of Jack Kirby and his importance to the whole of the Marvel Comics empire.
Back to work-for-hire:
Not only have I done work-for-hire creative work, but I also have others working with me under work-for-hire terms, on my characters (N-Man, The Fury, Hypernaut, Sky Solo, etc.).
I am not proud of or comfortable with this, but it's the only way under North American copyright and trademark laws to protect standing character and title trademarks (assignment-of-copyright language would also serve, but not as well, to maintain the necessary proprietorship of my characters and titles).
In those cases, those who work with or for me will earn royalties if profits are earned, and in the one case of new characters derived from my characters, the creators involved will be taken care of by contracts guaranteeing them co-creator status, credit, and co-creator shares of any future earnings.
* If anyone needs some basics of copyright law at their fingertips to understand what's at stake here, it's all online, via the U.S. Copyright Office.
* Note that work-for-hire was specifically revised in 1976 to meet very specific criteria, as detailed on page 2 of "Copyright Basics," in the section entitled "Who Can Claim Copyright?":
In the case of works made for hire, the employer and not the employee is considered to be the author.
Section 101 of the copyright law defines a "work made for hire" as:
1. a work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her employment; or
2. a work specially ordered or commissioned for use as:
• a contribution to a collective work
• a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work
• a translation
• a supplementary work
• a compilation
• an instructional text
• a test
• answer material for a test
• an atlas
[or] if the parties expressly agree in a written instrument signed by them that the work shall be considered a work made for hire.
The authors of a joint work are co-owners of the copyright in the work, unless there is an agreement to the contrary.
Copyright in each separate contribution to a periodical or other collective work is distinct from copyright in the collective work as a whole and vests initially with the author of the contribution.
Note that (a) Jack Kirby was a freelancer; he was not an employee of Marvel Comics (being an employee requires earning the benefits of an employee, and having state and federal taxes handled by the employer taken from the employee's weekly paychecks, which traditionally does not apply to freelancers, who almost never earn weekly paychecks, either),
(b) legally, though comics publishers from 1977 on scrambled to embrace the language, comics are collaborative works, not (as with textbooks, encyclopedias, etc.) legally defined as "collective works," or "contributions to a collective work," which believe you me was agonized over by legal departments in legal contracts I have in my files dating from about 1977 to about 1982. It is arguable that Golden Age comics, or pre-Silver Age anthology comics, with their mix of comics main stories, back-up features, information-only single pagers, and various text features, may have fit the term "collective works," but those formats had (with the arguable exception of the Classics Illustrated "World Around Us" series and one-shot specials) ceased to exist.
Thus, (c) the only section of the 1976 Copyright Act revision relative to the Kirby/Marvel case is "if the parties expressly agree in a written instrument signed by them that the work shall be considered a work made for hire."
What the nature of those "written instruments" were (retroactive?), when they were drafted and signed, and under what conditions, is of central interest to this discussion.
* If bile is being cast at Stan Lee, it's because he hasn't risen to the behavior of his heroic characters.
Look, I like Stan (I met him once during my second visit to the Marvel offices in 1977; he smiled at me and was very kind and supportive in about two minutes).
The worst I've said (I think; correct me if I'm wrong) is he "damned" himself with his deposition testimony. I stand by that perception and statement.
I have great respect for Stan, what he did, what he wrote, what he built, but his deposition is shameful.
At no point in his deposition did Stan note that he could not draw the comic, or that his "idea" could not have been copyrighted or published until it was realized as a concrete expression of Stan's "idea" by another pair of hands, or the absolute necessity of the artist to the comicbook, or that of the thousands of characters he co-created from the 1940s onward, it's just those he co-created with Jack Kirby (and Steve Ditko) that have become the essential foundation and spearhead of the entire Marvel media machine.
Thus, a legal fiction—that Stan's "idea" was in and of itself paramount (though it was not copyrightable until it was expressed, and hence, not copyrightable)—was allowed to stand to support the real legal fiction (since 1909) of work-for-hire as a means by which companies and corporations become the legal "authors" and "artists"—hence, creators—of a given "work."
This is worst than unfortunate or unfair: it has damned the Kirby heirs to more years of suffering atop that they have suffered, consigned them to further abuse, humiliation, and costly legal proceedings (if, indeed, they can proceed or afford to proceed any further; they will likely be advised not to), and further maligned, slandered, and trivialized Jack Kirby as a man, an artist, and creator.
It's beyond sad or tragic; one does not see Stan deeding a portion of his annual income to the Kirby heirs, for instance.
I tell you this: I willingly sent Rick Veitch a portion of my quarterly royalties from the issues of Swamp Thing Rick penciled with me, from 1985 until 1999; I kept strict bookkeeping records, and was scrupulous about sending those checks to Rick. He did not ask for it, but I always sent it (BTW, I never got a "share" of the script royalties from those issues I co-plotted with John Totleben, but that's neither here nor there; it was right to cut Rick an ongoing share of those payments, and I only stopped upon my retirement from comics, and I notified Rick at that time of that decision).
I tell you this: Berni Wrightson and Len Wein got "bonus checks" from DC in the early 1990s for Swamp Thing activity (licensing, I presume); note that Len and Berni do not, to my knowledge, earn actual royalties from anything except the reprints of their ten issues of Swamp Thing (they earn no creator share from the character, title, or concept, to my knowledge; Len, Berni, please correct me if I'm wrong, or if that has changed). When Berni recieved his bonus check, Berni incredibly sent a share to Alan Moore, Rick Veitch, John Totleben, and myself, a gesture of unbelievable generosity and creative comraderie. When asked why, Berni told John and I (personally, during a visit to the Tundra offices), "Because it's your guys work that earned us this."
So, in that context, I ask, on a personal and professional level: where is Stan in all this?
Again, Stan Lee has brought this all on himself.
There were decades in which to redress this, to do "the right thing." He let Jack dangle. Now, Jack's family is left to dangle.
Simply put, these "characters" without the life invested into them by their original artist co-creators would have had no life—in copyright terms, no expression, which is all that copyright does and can protect—in the first place.
We can dance and dance around this, but had there been no visual character design, there would have been no Spider-Man, no Fantastic Four, no X-Men, etc. Period.
Where is Stan Lee on this issue?
Consider, if you will, the Stan Lee interview from Jonathan Ross's BBC documentary In Search of Steve Ditko:
In the terms of copyright law, in the words of the U.S. Copyright Office itself, the fact is that the expression of an idea is all that can be copyrighted.
An idea is useless, sans a material expression of that idea: for instance, one cannot copyright "Works that have not been fixed in a tangible form of expression (for example, choreographic works that have not been notated or recorded, or improvisational speeches or performances that have not been written or recorded);" and any comic writer's ideas can be expressed in the form of a script, which can be copyrighted.
Characters, however, and character designs, necessarily involve visual expression in the form of drawings; hence, one must necessarily acknowledge any artist who gave or gives initial form to a character as a co-creator, strictly speaking.
Now, Steve Ditko has shared his memory of the creation of the characters Ditko had a hand in at Marvel Comics in the Silver Age.
I'll refresh memories and write more about this in my next text post—since Ditko was noticably absent from the depositions and all this recent legal action, due no doubt in part to the controversial claim Kirby's heirs have made concerning Jack's role (if any) in creating/co-creating Spider-Man, it's apparently up to us to sort out from Ditko's own precise texts concerning his relationship with Stan Lee what might be relevant to the Kirby co-creation histories.
In the meanwhile, there's plenty to read online since my Friday post, as others discuss the Kirby/Marvel case, verdict, and its consequences.
…and so it goes this week.
as if we all needed that asserted.
I fully expected John Byrne's stance (and he did not disappoint; I'll bite my tongue at present about this, for the sake of civility and brevity), but many of the online exchanges on the comments threads and various comics boards about Jack Kirby's legacy reveal a bizarre and often spiteful and vicious misanthropy, borderline psychosis, and even sociopathic resentment of and for a great man's great works; corporate culture really has sold a toxic bill of goods to a generation, hasn't it?
Though everyone has Motherboxes, the Anti-Life Equation has claimed many…
The only "right" answer is for Marvel to DO right. They haven't and won't. So, "right answer" or not, it's a start: deny them our funds. Naive? Nuts? It's the LEAST we can do.
I do wish to cite one of John Byrne's online comments, though (linked above; scroll down once you get to that byrnerobotics.com board thread). Byrne wrote, and I quote verbatim:
What makes Kirby UNIQUE is that he's the corner stone on which modern Marvel house has been built.
A cornerstone. He worked in collaboration with Stan Lee AND, much as the more maniacal Kirby-boosters would wish it otherwise, it was SPIDER-MAN that put the company on that map. And, again, much as some would wish it otherwise, Kirby had nothing to do with that character.
No other single creator comes close to how much valuable he has been to Marvel or the whole industry.
Spider-Man. Steve Ditko. Remove these from the equation, and do we still have Marvel?
If there is one thing that infuriates me more than perhaps any other swill I see and hear from some corners of fandom, it is this eagerness to erase Steve Ditko. Perhaps it is because Ditko had the same "deal" with Marvel that Kirby had, but, unlike Kirby, has accepted (albeit bitterly) the situation as it is, not tried to wish it into something it never was.
So Ditko MUST be ignored, or the house of cards built by Kirby's supporters quickly falls apart.
Well, John, no.
This will be ongoing—but for my next essay, I'll be tapping into Steve Ditko's writings on his work with Stan Lee, since Steve Ditko was there, and his recollections and writings (which continue to be summarily ignored) do matter.
Be here, let's dance.

Research Summary
Mechanisms of membrane dynamics in relation to nuclear envelopathies and viral infection
Nuclear envelopathies are a diverse group of congenital diseases that are caused by mutations affecting proteins in the nuclear envelope or lamina. We hypothesize that envelopathy-associated alleles act at least in part through a gain of function mechanism that leads to a poisoning of nuclear membrane dynamics. Our goal is to unravel the cellular mechanisms that regulate protein homeostasis in the nuclear periphery, and to elucidate the role that these pathways play in muscular dystrophies, premature aging and related envelopathies. We exploit viral proteins known to manipulate the nuclear envelope as a novel approach to identify cellular factors involved in protein turnover and non-canonical nuclear transport via vesicular intermediates.

Fishing with Friends and An Eastern Shore Dinner
Type: Tidal
Region: Eastern
Location: Choptank River
Friday evening I took my friends Ben Wright and Justin Wright and launched the boat out of Matapeake (a great county ramp by the way). We quickly caught some small white perch and a few small spot along the jetty and threw them in the live well. Was a little breezy for my small boat at first, but the wind calmed down after a bit and we began to live line along the channel edge in 20-30 feet of water. Only ended up with 2 keepers, but for 2 guys that primarily fresh water fish, they had a blast.
On Saturday I took my Aunt, Donna Goodman, and my cousin, Whitney Goodman from BelAir out on the Choptank River. The plan was to spend a beautiful day on the water and try a little bit of everything. They both love crabs and have never run a trot line before so we started off doing that. Since my Aunt was coming from BelAir that morning, we got a late start and didn't have the line in the water until 10:30, but this trip was more about the experience then actually catching so we were undeterred. After setting the line, we threw over a couple of crab traps and then took a quick dip in the water to cool off. On our first run, we picked up a couple of really nice crabs which raised the crews moral and started us thinking about crabs for dinner! The action wasn't fast by any means but we picked up crabs on each run and they started adding up! To pass the time between runs we wet the fishing lines on some nearby oyster bars. We picked up catfish, croaker, spot, and white perch. By the end of the day we had enough crabs and fish for a nice Eastern Shore dinner! Picked up some local corn on the way home and had a great evening with friends and family.

Deer Creek Hickory Shad
Type: Freshwater
Region: Northern
Location: Deer Creek
Jason Haney Jr and his Dad caught plenty of hickory shad on Deer Creek Wednesday afternoon. The run should be slowing down soon so get out there while you can! Hickory shad prefer small shad darts, grubs, or spoons/spinners. They are often called "poor mans tarpon" because of their acrobatic jumps and great fight on light tackle.

Sampling Fish Eggs and Larvae in the Elk and Northeast Rivers
Type: Chesapeake
Region: Northern
Location: Elk and Northeast Rivers
Marek Topolski and I were out yesterday sampling on the Elk and Northeast Rivers for DNR Fisheries. Our study involves pulling a fine-meshed net behind our boat to collect fish eggs and larvae to document the presence or absence of spawning fish in these rivers. We observed adult hickory shad, white perch, and alewife herring. Hickory shad appeared to be especially strong in the Northeast River. In addition to the boat tows, we use a similar net to sample small inland creeks to document how far these fish migrate up river. We also take several water quality measurements including temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and conductivity. Sampling will continue through April and into May It will take several weeks before we analyze our sample and compare the results with data from previous years.

Western Europe
Mcnamara's Other Legacy
July 07, 2009
As one would expect, coverage of Robert McNamara's death has focused on his management of the Vietnam war and his later reappraisal of its necessity, but the former secretary of defense left an equally important--and far more positive--legacy regarding U.S. nuclear policy. When McNamara joined the Kennedy administration in 1961, American nuclear "strategy" called for launching the entire nuclear arsenal--nearly 3,500 weapons--at the communist bloc if the Soviets made any move against Western Europe. This approach had severe flaws.

Clerical Terror
December 24, 2008
If we needed reminding, the carnage in Mumbai proved yet again that South Asia is home to some of the world's deadliest Islamist terrorists. Usually missing from press coverage, though, is any sense of the origin of these movements, which are often assumed to be tied to the grievances of the Arab Middle East and the fate of Jerusalem. That is a misconception. Historically, the roots of radical Islam belong at least as much in South Asia as in the Middle East. And one individual, wholly unfamiliar to most Westerners, played an indispensable role in founding and shaping that movement.
Debt Man Walking
December 03, 2008
For those Americans who are not daily readers of the Financial Times, the past few months have been a crash course in the abstract and obscure instruments and arrangements that have derailed the nation's economy. From mortgage-backed securities to credit default swaps, the financial health of the country has undergone a gory public dissection.

Living Together, Living Apart: Rethinking Jewish-Christian Relations in the Middle Ages By Jonathan Elukin (Princeton University Press, 193 pp., $24.95) ALL HISTORIES have their sorrows,but those of Jewish history are more studied than most. The chronicles of Israel's sufferings—the groaning under Pharaoh in Exodus, the Lamentations over lost Jerusalem, Isaiah's consolations for her captivity—have helped the countless faithful of numerous religions explain God's puzzling tendency to afflict his followers on earth.
The Pope's real enemy.; Cross Purposes
November 13, 2006
Left and right found plenty to disagree about in Pope Benedict XVI's September address at the University of Regensburg in Germany, but,on one point, there was virtual unanimity: that the Pope was out to defend the West against the Muslim world.
Political Pitch
June 19, 2006
This article was adapted from The Thinking Fan's Guide to the World Cup. There have been revolutions to create socialism, democracy, and authoritarian dictatorship. But humankind has yet to fight a revolution to guarantee one of the most vital elements--if not the most vital element--of the good life. That is, a winning soccer team. If we were to take up arms for this reason, what kind of government would we want to install? Political theory, for all its talk about equality and virtue, has strangely evaded this question.
Religious Experience
February 20, 2006
The riots currently engulfing the Islamic world, prompted by a Danish newspaper's decision to caricature the Prophet Mohammed, require two responses. The first is easy: horror. In the physical assault on Denmark's embassies and citizens, and in the diplomatic assault on Denmark's government—all because a free government won't muzzle a free press—multiculturalism has become totalitarianism. Religious sensitivity, say the zealots marching from Beirut to Jakarta, matters more than liberty. Indeed, it matters more than life itself.

FOR ALL THE INK THAT HAS been spilled, for all the quarrels and the debates that have erupted over the past century and a half, popular and scholarly understandings of the Civil War almost universally share one view in common: that the war was a great tragedy in American history and American life.
Crisis of Faith
May 02, 2005
"In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem."--Ronald Reagan, January 20, 1981 "We have a responsibility that, when somebody hurts, government has got to move."--George W. Bush, September 1, 2003 Conservatism isn't over. But it has rarely been as confused. Today's conservatives support limited government. But they believe the federal government can intervene in a state court's decisions in a single family's struggle over life and death. They believe in restraining government spending.

Jake's serves up 49 years of Southern food with Mother's Day finale
BELTON - The deep fryers crackled and grease hissed on stovetops at Jake's Restaurant during Sunday lunchtime.
The smell of fried chicken permeated the meat-and-three as regulars and casual diners stopped by one last time, on Mother's Day.
Jake's was a hub of Belton social life for 49 years, the place where many teens got their first jobs and where Belton-Honea Path High School football players congregated after Friday-night games.
Owner Jake Meeks stood at the counter of his restaurant on Anderson Street on Sunday and ate fried chicken, corn and macaroni and cheese. It was his favorite dish at the restaurant he opened when he was 30 years old.
"It's just good ole Southern fried chicken," Meeks said.
Meeks, who is 80, made $14.85 the day his restaurant opened in 1962.
"That was a lot of food back in 1962," he said.
Sunday was the busiest day of the week at Jake's, Meeks said, and the day it closed was no different. If business had been this good on other days Meeks might have been able to keep going, but the restaurant failed to bring in enough money.
"The way the economy is in Belton, all the industry is gone," Meeks said. "There's just not a lot of people who eat at meat-and-threes."
But many wanted one last meal and reminisced about the restaurant's role in their youth. Deputy Ben Coward of the Anderson County Sheriff's Office worked his first job as a curbhop at Jake's in 1965. He made 30 cents an hour plus tips carrying trays of food to cars.
"It's sad," Coward said. "It's one of those icons you hate to see go away. You just can't replace 50 years worth of memories."
He has fond ones and others that were physically painful. Meeks cared for his community, sending plates of food to bereaved families and taking all the curbhops to an Atlanta Braves game every summer, Coward said.
Curbhops initiated their new brethren with hot nickels, courtesy of the deep fryer, he said. A curbhop would drop nickels and quarters into the fryer then place them on the floor.
"They'd say, 'You dropped your quarter,' " Coward said, then they'd laugh as the coin sizzled in the palm of the new worker.
Tara and Steve Poore of Anderson sat in a booth Sunday after they'd placed flowers on graves in Belton. They carried on the tradition Sunday for Mother's Day, and learned the restaurant was closing as a waitress refilled their water.
The hamburger steak was the best, Steve Poore said.
"That was their staple," he said.
Edna Brewer sat in the booth beside them and dabbed at her eyes with a napkin.
"It's the best eatery in town," she said.
Pantries in the front of the restaurant display glass Coke bottles Meek's friends brought him from all over the world. One label is written in Hebrew, and another has a smiling picture of late racecar driver Dale Earnhardt, the 1979 Rookie of the Year.
A younger picture of Meeks hangs on the wall by the front door. He's standing with his father, Kelly Meeks, and both are wearing white cook's clothes. Kelly Meeks owned Belton Grill, where Subway now sits on Anderson Street, a few houses over from Jake's.
The father often helped his son's business, Coward said.
Now Meek's dark hair has turned white, but his taste for fried chicken is the same. For almost 50 years he's known nothing different than running a restaurant.
"It's a sad day for me because I really don't know what I'm going to do with my time because I don't really have too many hobbies I do," he said.
Jake's Restaurant goes on the real estate market Monday morning, he said.
"I made a lot of friends and met a lot of good people."

The 26-year-old's ability to step his way through defences has been recognised since he took centre stage by grabbing a hat-trick of tries against France in 2000.
But Murphy believes the Leinster star has added a new dimension to his game
- by battering his way through would-be tacklers.
''Brian is a great leader. He's very lucky that he has a talented squad but everyone knows he's an exceptional player,' he said.
''He's a talisman for the side and brings confidence to the players around him. When he first came onto the scene he wasn't quite as physically developed as he is now. That comes with age.
''But in the past couple of years he's been putting in the hits. The game has become more physical and he's adapted to that. He's the complete centre now.'

HARRISVILLE A Harrisville couple who sued a now-shuttered mill next door, charging that it caused their home to shake, has settled the matter out of court.
Its done, said Watertown attorney David P. Antonucci, who was representing Joel and Sandy Chambers. We are satisfied with the settlement.
A stipulation of discontinuance was filed recently in the Lewis County clerks office, but terms of the monetary settlement with Harrisville Dry Kiln, which was closed by parent company Bestway Enterprises Inc. last summer, were not released.
Mr. Antonucci, on the Chambers behalf, in August 2011 filed a state Supreme Court lawsuit claiming the couple suffered noise and vibration from the HDK sawmill, destroying peaceful enjoyment of the property off Maple Avenue and damaging their home.
Judge Charles C. Merrell initially denied a motion for a preliminary injunction to close operations at the plant temporarily, but the suit, seeking relief from alleged hardships and $250,000 in damages, continued.
Then came the closure of the mill, which had employed nearly 30 workers. The move was categorized as purely financial, with Bestway, a lumber supply company, wanting to focus on its core facilities.
While that was a hit to the local economy, it did ultimately advance negotiations in the lawsuit, as the focus was solely on the amount of damages rather than an injunction to stop the mills operation, Mr. Antonucci said.
Once the mill closed, everything changed, he said.
With the sawmill no longer in operation, the issues the couple cited also have apparently been rectified, Mr. Antonucci said.
The house is no longer shaking, to my knowledge, he said.
The plants legal defense has included the idea that other factors, such as proximity to Fort Drum, may cause vibrations.
However, Mr. and Mrs. Chambers disputed that notion, claiming the phenomenon occurred on and off during regular operating hours at the mill. Mr. Antonucci said the Fort Drum connection was never substantiated.
Paragon Laminated Wood Products, Lakeville, New Brunswick, started up the dry kiln plant in October 1998, and Bestway took over its operation in August 1999. A sawmill was added in 2006.
The couple, who bought the semi-secluded residence in 2002 as a retirement refuge, didnt report the vibrations immediately after the sawmill went on-line, but then made some attempts to work things out with the mill and other local officials before taking legal action.
Following HDKs closure, Bestway worked with local and state officials throughout the summer and fall to try to secure a turnkey buyer. However, those efforts were unsuccessful, and most of the equipment and other property was sold off in an auction in October.

WOONSOCKET – The demolition company whose work at an old mill site was blamed for causing a major sewage spill into the Blackstone River last week did not have an active "Dig Safe" clearance for the job, as required by state law, city officials say.
A notice alleging a violation by Coventry Building & Wrecking was sent to the state Division of Public Utilities and Carriers Tuesday, said Michael Debroisse, the city's solid waste superintendent.
Debroisse said the company was doing demolition work at the defunct Seville Dyeing Company when a piece of excavation equipment ruptured an underground sewer pipe Friday afternoon. At the time, the company was razing what was left of the long-vacant textile plant, heavily damaged in an arson fire on Feb. 27.
Up to 920,000 gallons of partially treated sewage may have poured into the Blackstone before a neighbor noticed the spill and it was contained, more than two days later, the state Department of Environmental Management says.
Any company or individual planning to do excavation work is required by law to notify the Woburn, Mass.-based Dig Safe System, Inc. in advance. Dig Safe uses the information to notify utility operators of the impending work, to give them a chance to mark the location of fixtures in the construction zone.
The idea is to lessen the risk that a piece of construction equipment will interfere with gas lines, electrical cables, sewer mains and other types of hidden utility infrastructure – with potentially disastrous results.
"Anytime anyone digs or excavates on public or private property they're required to call Dig Safe," said Lisa Powers, a spokeswoman for the organization. Support from utility companies enables Dig Safe to provide the notification service free throughout New England, where the five states all observe various enforcement standards.
In Rhode Island, the DPUC is responsible for investigating violations, said Tom Kogut, a spokesman for the agency. Violators can be fined $350 for a first offense, but the paper trail of the infraction can also be used to support civil claims for damages.
"We have not received any notice of probable violation from the city of Woonsocket yet, but if we do, we'll investigate it," said Kogut.
Debroisse said the city intends to seek compensation from Coventry Building & Wrecking for cleanup and containment, but the losses are still being calculated.
Debroisse said Veolia North America, the company that runs the city-owned Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, ran the containment operation.
Basically, said Debroisse, the city hired four private cesspool contractors to capture sewage running toward the broken main by intercepting it at the nearest inflowing manhole. The trucks worked in rotation, so that when one was filled, it discharged its load into the nearest outflow manhole while another truck took its place at the inflow manhole.
That portion of the operation stopped sewage from flowing out of the ruptured, 8-inch clay pipe so that another company could patch the main, said Debroisse. For that part of the job, the city used its on-retainer contractor, Boyle & Fogarty Construction, which finished up Monday.
"It was disgusting down there, but Veolia did an awesome job for the city – all their local reps and workers," said Debroisse.
The spill is also under investigation by DEM. The agency had issued an advisory against swimming or eating fish from the river after learning of the spill Sunday night, but the alert was lifted Tuesday morning, according to Angelo Liberti, chief of surface water protection.
Debroisse said that his research indicates that Coventry Building & Wrecking may have obtained Dig Safe authorization for work at the site in April, but such clearances are only active for 60 days. There is no evidence the company renewed or reapplied to Dig Safe, as required, so he filed a notice of violation.
The Call was unable to reach representatives of Coventry Building & Wrecking for comment on Tuesday.

SPEEDWAY: Premier League club Plymouth Devils are on the verge of being sold, according to chairman Mike Bowden, who has said a deal has been agreed with a four-man consortium which is interested in buying the club. The consortium includes the former Devils captain Seemond Stephens, their joint-team manager, and life-long speedway enthusiast Godfrey Spargo. "I do believe that the members of the consortium will put fresh blood into the club and move it forward," Bowden said.

Bo salutes U.S. Navy Seals Team 6 and Cairo, their Belgian Malinois teammate!
This is one of those occasions where it is perfectly acceptable to hate both the player and the game. Bin Laden had to go and I'm proud that one of my canine cousins was a member of the elite Navy Seals team who completed the mission.
The 4-legged team member was a Belgian Malinois named Cairo, the only team member to be identified by name. German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd and Belgian Malinois breeds are favored by the military because they possess the best overall combination of keen sense of smell, endurance, speed, strength, courage, intelligence and adaptability to climatic conditions, essential traits for Military Working Dogs (MWD's).
Last year a company by the name of K9 Storm Incorporated was awarded an $86,000 contract by the U.S. Navy to supply protective gear for their war dogs. The K9 Storm Intruder Vest is bullet proof, stab proof and shrapnel proof. It includes an infrared and night-vision-enabled camera as well as a transmitter and receiver.
United States Navy Seals dogs complete a rigorous training program to become the best of the best at detecting explosives and enemy troops. They are also expert trackers, scouts and sentries. We look forward to learning details of Cairo's role in the Bin Laden mission.
I'm so proud of my dad, President Obama, and all the men, women and canines in uniform who worked tirelessly to bring Bin Laden to justice, many of them making the ultimate sacrifice for their country.

BirdLife Malta was the driving force behind the creation of Ghadira Nature Reserve in Mellieha, next to Malta's most popular sandy beach.
It is of ecological importance because it encloses two types of habitat which are very rare in Malta: wetland and saltmarsh.
The area was declared a bird sanctuary in 1978 after BirdLife Malta presented scientific data to the government showing the ornithological value of the wetland. Our work continues to ensure that this area remains a haven for birds. The protection the reserve enjoys ensures that as the seasons change, Ghadira hosts a variety of animal and plant life. As a result of the management and protection of the site, the reserve offers a stunning combination of biodiversity and natural beauty. Today the area is home to a variety of flora and fauna, some of which is rare and endangered and given special protection by the European Union.
Ghadira offers a taste of what the Maltese islands would be like if illegal hunting and trapping are stopped. Malta sits at the heart of the central Mediterranean migration route and could be host to many species of wild birds that stop here en route.
The indiscriminate hunting and trapping that has occurred over the last fifty years means that significant numbers of migrating birds that land in Malta never make it to their final destination. The reserve is a rare sanctuary. Hunting and trapping of birds within 500m of the area has been banned here for over three decades. Although hunting is permitted on more than two-thirds of the Maltese islands, hunters still occasionally break into the reserve and shoot any migrating birds that land there for a well-deserved rest. The reserve has also been attacked in other ways - for example, large quantities of oil were dumped into the pools and reservoirs in an attempt to destroy the fragile wetland ecosystem.
Visiting Ghadira
From November to May, Ghadira and Is-Simar reserves are open to the public. BirdLife volunteers lead guide walks along the nature trail.

Star Entertainment
Denny to the Fray shows musical range in new single
Denny to the Fray - Contributed
Entertainer Denny to the Fray takes a break from reggae and proves he can switch genres, firmly throwing his hat into the dancehall ring with his newest release Baby.
Baby was officially released in January 2014 through 21st Hapilos Entertainment Distribution. Produced by Frayland Records/Kingston Elites, the video was officially released last month. Directed by Nackesha Doyley (Music Industry Achievers Awards/MIA Production CEO) the video was filmed at a private condo in Manor Park, Kingston.
Born Denny Fray Walcott in Lionel Town, Clarendon, Denny to the Fray migrated to Toronto for 15 years, which explains his signature Canadian patois twang. He studied at Sheridan College where he got his first degree in Arts and Science, then went on to gain his Law Degree three years later.
"Music has always been present in my life as it was and is the fuel that I run on," he said. At age 12 he and his brother built a sound system from old equipment they could salvage from household radios and speakers, which gave him the technical know-how with music frequencies.
They led that sound system, named Big Bad Benz International, to home town fame as the roughest little sound around and stayed fully booked for parties until the day he migrated to Canada in August 1997.
He now lives in Jamaica with his wife and kids and is pursuing a solo career under his own label, Frayland Records.
Baby keeps to Deeny to the Fray's directional message music where he showcases swagger and invokes fun, vibrant topics. The single is available for purchase on iTunes.

Whilst his diet obviously doesn't cater for the average gym pug i'm fairly certain Heath is aware of that as he's been in sport all his life since playing NCAA basketball with the likes of Jamal Crawford. So the kids pedigree is proven.
I know you don't get to be Mr Olympia just by the drugs, I've never eluded to that at all, it could be argued that drug users have it harder that naturals.
It's not a presumption that he displays a lack of knowledge, I have read some of his comments through his twitter on nutrition, or else I wouldn't of specifically named him.
Surely you can't disagree with the initial statement that some bodybuilders have horrendous knowledge of nutritional sciences, despite being huge?
What videos of Phil Heath can I watch him 'go over his diet' and discuss nutrition? I'm just going by the statements that I've saw from him.

Eidson finished with a team-high 18 points, including three 3-pointers, while Lattig buried a pair of triples and had 14 points for the Bucs (5-5, 3-3 O-K Red).
Danny Cotter also got into the action on the offensive end, scoring 10 points.
"Jeremy had a great game, and it's always nice to get that second and third scorers," said Grand Haven coach Steve Hewitt. "Last night, it was Jeremy and Danny. We were sharing the ball really well. We had 16 assists, so that's always good.
"We also defended pretty well, especially on the perimeter. Our guards did a nice job of pressuring the ball, and that helped us get going."
Eidson led the Bucs with five rebounds and six assists while Lattig grabbed three boards and dished out two assists. Matt Kroll also had two assists for Grand Haven.
Seth Cook scored 20 points for the host Bulldogs (1-9, 0-6 O-K Red).
The Bucs play host to Jenison on Friday.
Fruitport Calvary Christian used a big third quarter to rout Holland Black River on Tuesday, 67-46.
The Eagles dominated the post as Patrick Asdell finished with 16 points and 12 rebounds. Guthrie Collins scored 10 of his 16 points in the third quarter and grabbed 11 boards, while Mike Warren finished with 16 points, eight rebounds and 12 blocks.
Fruitport suffered a 73-50 loss at the hands of Lakes Eight Conference-leading Fremont on Tuesday.
The Trojans had 19 turnovers in the first half, allowing the host Packers to build a 30-6 lead.

Traditional laundry is mostly the only one available across rural India. Washing machines are still a rarity as most homes are a single room for the whole extended family. Electricity is expensive and wiring is not proper yet for heavy duty appliances.
Besides, India was blessed with natural water streaming which are also a visited for Hindu practices.
No doubt dryers are out of question, but then again, most India has an abundance of sunshine. Off monsoon rivers expose vast banks and during monsoonplanes of grass both used for laying out clothes to dry. Because of the comfortable temperatures in the vast planes, garments are of light fabrics and usually dry quickly.
Women bath in their clothes, elders often topless, boys and girl run around naked in a combination of a bath and a playground.

This is Your Brain on Meditation.
Meditation & Science.
Can all the hype about the benefits of meditation become an obstacle?
A hugely popular New York Times article gets it wrong: the point of meditation is…
Recently I happened across (by which I mean I was approached by Waylon and asked to write about) a New York Times article entitled, "How Meditation May Change The Brain." It's the most popular article on the entire site—good news for those of us who think meditation is a good thing for humans of any religion of lack of religion.
But there's a little catch. Meditation isn't about any of this.
The article is written by Sindya N. Bhanoo, a lady who is married to a man who has of late become infatuated with the practice of meditation. He, Mr. Bhanoo I presume, is currently conducting
"…an experiment to determine whether and how meditation actually improves the quality of his life."
He is curious to see if and how meditation changes the brain.
There is certainly a good deal of evidence to suggest that meditation does just that. In the post on the NYT, Sindya Bhanoo cites a great many of these findings. Most of the hype surrounding meditation in popular media springs forth from these studies. Everyone seems to be enraptured by meditation's capacity to increase gray matter, decrease blood pressure, or improve one's attention span.
This sort of infatuation is nothing new.
In fact, it is probably as old as meditation itself. There are countless accounts of people in ancient societies becoming enthralled with the symptoms of meditation. They thought that meditation would give them magical powers—the ability to levitate or change the weather. This infatuation manifests in our scientifically and technologically advanced society in a more sophisticated manner perhaps. With M.R.I. images and what not, but the general idea is the same. We are obsessed with transforming everything into some kind of technology that we can use to manipulate the environment in our favor.
We as a society do not seem to be attracted to meditation. That is to say, we are not interested in observing our confusion. We are not in the least bit concerned with taking to the path of simple observation our pain and suffering. Rather, we want to harness a technology that will give us the power to control life. We want to bypass suffering. We want to ignore the simple truth of dissatisfaction, by obsessively pursuing super-powers.
Meditation is simple observation. It is about observation… The point of meditation is meditation. When we simply watch the movement of mind a great many of our preconceived ideas are challenged. Ultimately our ideas about ourself are brought into question. When we observe the movement of thought, and notice that we cannot keep track of thought without thinking, we realize that who and what we thought we were was little more than a thought… One thought thinking about another thought. This is the truth of selflessness. It is emptiness. However, selflessness is not nothingness. The direct experience of emptiness is luminous. It is experience without an experiencer. Naked awareness. Resting in this is meditation.
Now it maybe that an M.R.I. machine measures the depth of such an experience by the increase in gray matter, but from the practitioners point of view, transforming meditation into an obsessive attempt to grow your gray matter is counter productive. Such a pursuit is a selfish pursuit… Materialism in a spiritual wardrobe! It is like the man who has got to lower his blood pressure… He sits down to meditate with the attitude, "Now I have got to relax!" He is freaking out about relaxing… It just won't work.
Meditation is about the observation of confusion. In seeing our confusion for what it is, it is immediately transformed into insight! The fundamental misunderstanding to be challenged is the belief in a solid-separate self. The entire institution of selfishness and self-centeredness has to be challenged. It is the belief in an intrinsic self-image that puts us at odds with life. We call this friction between us and life stress or anxiety, but they are nothing more than symptoms of the fact that we believe the environment is something that we must control or conquer… Something that we must manipulate to our advantage. Meditation kills itself the moment it is revealed that there is no one meditating. Meditation becomes non-meditation when the truth of selflessness is discovered.
Meditation is about the discovery of total freedom. Such a whole and complete freedom is really freedom from self. This is something that Sindya Bhanoo, author of the NYT piece seems to have realized, but as of now, her husband has yet to notice. She ends her article by saying, "For now, I'm more than happy to support my husband's little experiment, despite the fact that he now rises at 5 a.m. and is exhausted by 10 at night. An empathetic husband who takes out the trash and puts gas in the car because he knows I don't like to — I'll take that."
Perhaps the best of both worlds?

[…] This post was mentioned on Twitter by Waylon Lewis, Mila, Matthew Killorin, Refuge Meditation, Ben Riggs and others. Ben Riggs said: Interested in the #health benefits of meditation? Well here is an article about where #science and #meditation meet!- http://bit.ly/ggLpJo […]
Nice article! I especially have to love the last bit about the 'little experiment'. I think that's how my boyfriend sees me most of the time. Much love, Tanya
Ben this is wild! I just wrote an article for Technocrati, with the same exact title! I thought I was so witty, and I had not seen your article yet! Wild and it's in response to same NYT article. Anyway-hope Google doesn't get flumoxed!
"Meditation is simple observation. It is about observation…"
I was very excited as I began reading. I had the thought that perhaps I could comment a "great article!" on my first Elephant Journal article. All was well until we got to the above quote. It was all downhill from there.
That is an incorrect statement. It is one method of meditation. It is not the truth of meditation.
There is more to learn, my friend! Dig deep! Good luck!
Two things; 1. I do not think Buddha was trying to end suffering. He was just saying Life IS suffering, so deal with it. And a nice way to deal with it, is to know it. Meditation is one way to deal with it. 2. I know Mother Teresa was not in it for herself in anyway.
She was not seeking happiness or fulfillment. Like Buddha and Jesus, she was just doing her work for LOVE of people.

Symantec Antivirus 220.127.116.118 virus definition could not update
Recently, my client windows 98 pc which installed managed symantec antivirus 126.96.36.1998, the virus definition stop receive update.
-- The Symantec System Center version is 10.1.9.9000
-- The Parent Server version is 10.1.9.9000
-- The Symantec Antivirus 188.8.131.528 Client mapped by the parent server
Tried method:
1. Tick the "allow this server to manage 9.x and earlier clients....." option on symantec system console(no solve problem)
2. Click the "LIVEUPDATE" button on client pc and run the whole downloading with installing process successfull,but the virus definition still no update(no solve problem)
3. Install an unmanage symantec antivirus 9.0 on win98 pc also cannot update the virus definition.(no solve problem)
Can anybody help me?

SAV is EOL.
however you can manually download the definition file from Symantec and try updating the client machine.
SAV 9 is EOL
Check this thread
You can manually update virus defination
Thanks In Advance
Ashish Sharma
can you try xdb file for update?
To copy an .xdb file to a Symantec AntiVirus server
- Copy the .xdb file to the Symantec AntiVirus program folder.
- For NetWare servers, the default location is SYS:SAV.
- For antivirus servers on Windows computers, the default is C:\Program Files\SAV\ for Symantec AntiVirus 8.x, or C:\Program Files\Symantec AntiVirus for Symantec AntiVirus 9.x.
The location of the folder can vary if you upgraded from a previous version.
For help with this, see the "To find the Symantec AntiVirus program folder" section in the Technical Information section of this document.
To copy an .xdb file to a Symantec AntiVirus client
- Copy the .xdb file to the correct folder, depending on the program version:
- For clients that run Windows 2003/XP/2000, the default folder is one of the following:
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Symantec AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\
The Application Data folder may be hidden. To show hidden and system folders, read the document How to make Windows show all files.
- For clients that run Windows 98/Me, the following is the default folder:
C:\Program Files\Symantec_Client_Security\Symantec AntiVirus\ or C:\Program Files\Symantec AntiVirus\
- For clients that run Windows NT 4.0, the following is the default folder:
C:\WinNT\Profiles\All Users\Application Data\Symantec\Norton AntiVirus Corporate Edition\7.5\
- For clients that run Windows 2003/XP/2000, the default folder is one of the following:
Check this thread
Thanks In Advance
Ashish Sharma
does the xdb file vanishes from that folder?
if you still want to be running SAV 9, i can suggest reinstall the client.
ideally xdb folder should be processed and this file should disappear.
Modern virus definition sets are far too much for SAV 9.0 to handle (the XDB is about 222MB, which is not actually listed as supporting SAV 9.0):
Supports the following versions of Symantec antivirus software:
- Symantec AntiVirus 10.0 Corporate Edition Server
- Symantec AntiVirus 10.1 Corporate Edition Server
- Symantec AntiVirus 10.2 Corporate Edition Server
I can understand wanting to help your client, but to be honest, they have been very fortunate that this has worked as long as it has in a totally unsupported state. I can't remember exactly when support for SAV 9.0 definitions ended, but as best as I can determine, the product version they have (9.0, no MRs) was end-of-lifed in 2005.
In short, I'm not sure there is a fix for this particular issue, so you may need to prepare them for that eventuality.

« What's a Community News Site's Obligation? |
| Newspapers shouldn't be seeking -- and don't need-- government help »
Posted by Dorian Benkoil
Steve Outing today pointed me to Journalism Online, a new attempt to charge for journalistic content. The press release makes it seem they'll be offering readers a way to pay one price and pick from among paid content they want, and publishers a chance to make their efforts available at a price point they choose. Users will be able to pick stories a la carte, or via subscription. The release frequently mentions newspapers, but also says there are talks with magazines.
The release says ads, alone, can't and never have paid for quality journalism. Maybe not. And we'll find out if J.O. is right that Americans will pay for journalism because they understand it needs to be supported. I'm not so sure. They will pay for convenience, ease of use, utility and access they wouldn't otherwise have.
What will make this work, I think, is from the reader side:
... and for publishers:

As I consistently remind students, publishers-- anyone playing around in this sandbox-- the target market is not "Americans" or "people" or "readers." It is "some" Americans or people or readers or viewers or listeners. To be more specific, the "some" need only be "enough" readers. So when you write "we'll find out if J.O. is right that Americans will pay for journalism" what is critical is that some-- or enough-- will pay. What that number is depends on both the cost of providing the service and the price users are asked to pay. But it will invariably be a small subset of the audience for the same information if free. I'm optimistic that the benefits of quality journalism will appeal to a minority of the population -- but large enough in absolute numbers -- that will make it a viable business for more than one provider.

Packers schedule to be revealed week of April 21
Lambeau Field. Image by Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Have you ever tried to guess the Green Bay Packers schedule before it was released? I tried it last year and damn near developed an ulcer. It is an incredibly difficult, and maddening task. It is so difficult, the St. Louis Rams are offering $100,000 to anyone who can successfully predict the opponent, location, and time of each of their 16 regular season games.
According to Profootballtalk.com, the 2014-2015 NFL schedule will be revealed as early as April 22. As it pertains to the Packers, there are several variables one must keep in mind when attempting to predict their schedule.
- The Packers HOME opponents will be: Bears, Lions, Vikings, Falcons, Panthers, Eagles, Patriots, and Jets.
- The Packers ROAD opponents will be: Bears, Lions, Vikings, Seahawks, Saints, Buccaneers, Bills and Dolphins.
- There is a very good chance the Packers will open the season at Seattle against the Super Bowl champion Seahawks on Thursday, September 4. The Denver Broncos, and San Francisco 49ers would also be logical selections for the season opener, but the words "simultaneous possession" are screaming at me.
- The Packers will NOT play on Thanksgiving this season. The Lions will host an AFC opponent (my guess is the Bills), and the Cowboys are not on the Packers opponent list for 2014.
- The Packers will play three teams that will play in London: The Dolphins, Falcons and Lions. The NFL typically awards a bye week following a London trip. Given this logic, the Packers will not play the Dolphins in week 5, and they will not play the Falcons or Lions in week 9.
- Given the Lions will most likely have a bye in week 9, it's reasonable to assume the Packers will also have a bye in week 9, but certainly no guarantee.
- The Packers will end the season against a division opponent. Last season, the Packers ended at Chicago. In 2012, the Packers ended the season at Minnesota. In 2011, the Packers ended the season against Detroit. By that logic, the Packers will finish with Detroit.
- The Vikings have an agreement with the University of Minnesota to avoid hosting games on a Monday or Thursday. Remember, the Vikings will be playing outdoors at TCF Bank Stadium this season. If you think the Packers and Vikings will meet in primetime, the game will likely be at Lambeau Field.
I'll work at predicting the complete schedule over the weekend, but, as you can see, there is nothing simple about the task.
Look for an updated post sometime before the NFL reveals the full 256-game schedule. Should you attempt to do the same, I wish you the best of luck.

We have six snakes:
Finally, we have three pond animals:
We have five birds:
Luna, the Barn Owl, having spent the last 14 years educating and touching the lives of so many, passed away on June 29, 2011. Over the years, if not the center of the universe, Luna was certainly the center of attention during many presentations both at the Nature Center and in the classroom.
Taken to the California Raptor Center in 1997 it was thought Luna had fallen from the nest and that she might have some brain damage. She would not eat and ultimately had to be force-fed to keep her alive. Efforts to rehabilitate her failed. Having such close contact with humans Luna became imprinted on them and, consequently, could not be released back into the wild. Luna came to the Nature Center at only a few months old and throughout the years she helped teach the public the important role that barn owls play in our environment. A stealth hunter, barn owls primarily use their acute sense of hearing to detect and capture their prey, mainly rodents. Unfortunately, in the wild, a large percentage of barn owls do not make it through their first year! We were lucky to have Luna in our lives for 14 years. We will miss her very much!
