Please forgive this indulgence in advance. As an unabashed fan of Dwayne McDuffie's … well, as you might imagine, the news of his passing Tuesday has been tough to really wrap my head around.
Compiled by Arturo R. García
There is a hardcore piece of the audience whose back goes up whenever you go into these issues, and they don't even realize it. What kills me about it is, when they're writing about it, they're always hyper-rational: "Look, the fact is there are more white characters, and if you pick randomly, you would end up with all-white teams, and the fact that there are three black people on this team is statistically ridiculous. It's obviously a quota." And the quota arguments on fictional teams crack me up. I'm sorry, is somebody losing a job here? Which fictional character is losing a job? They're not talking about what's going on in the comic books – they're talking about what they think is going on in their lives, and that's not really going on, either.
– Dwayne McDuffie, in the video above (starts at 1:57)
The word "loss" encapsulates a lot of concepts, large and small. You lost that receipt with an idea on it — an irritation. You lost a job — financially crippling. You lost your mind at that club — not so shabby.
It is difficult to describe what it's like to lose a person to the gaping chasm of death when you didn't know them all that well. That's some of my challenge with the passing of Dwayne McDuffie.
By Special Correspondent Arturo R. García
Thanks to Racialicious reader Tomas for tipping us off to this: this May, Dynamite Entertainment's Green Hornet comic-book line will focus on the titular hero's companion in Kato: Way Of The Ninja. The Kato character has been part of Hornet canon since the character's beginnings in the radio era, but his most memorable incarnation came in the 1960s, when he was played by Bruce Lee. Even there, though, Lee's character had to play second banana. Ninja writer Jai Nitz told Newsarama that in the comics, Kato is played more as the Hornet's equal, and this particular mini-series will take him places the Hornet can't go.
Nitz also said the story will focus on Kato's somewhat-forced racial ambiguity:
The first actor to play Kato on the Green Hornet radio program was a Japanese actor named Raymond Hayashi, and Kato was explicitly referred to as "Japanese". Then Kato was ambiguously changed to Filipino as American/Japanese relations deteriorated in the face of World War II (remember, Pearl Harbor wasn't the first blow struck in the escalation to WWII, it was the last). Then after Pearl Harbor Kato was explicitly Filipino (and you have to remember the closeness of the Philippines and the US at the time to understand why). Whew. All that said, [Green Hornet: Year One writer] Matt Wagner sets Kato as a Japanese soldier that becomes disillusioned with how the Japanese conduct themselves during the war with mainland China. But, like the real-life radio dilemma, Kato hides his identity, in our story as Korean, when he and [the Green Hornet] return to the States due to the tensions with Japan.
Your run on Deathlok seemed to be full of allusions to the black experience. The lead character's trapped in a cyborg construct and has his body stolen from him. His fear and shame at how his family would see his new form keeps him from them. He's literally separated from his own humanity. And the dialogues between the cyborg's computer AI and Michael Collins riffs on the twoness that W.E.B. DuBois spoke about. How much of this was explicitly in your and Greg Wright's pitch and how much did you slip under the radar?
None of it was in the pitch, but all of it was intentional. Invisible Man was, and still is, my favorite novel. I'd just read The Souls of Black Folk and was explicitly thinking about Skip Gates' The Signifying Monkey. Godel, Esher, Bach and Derrick Bell's dialogues about race and law sort of crashed in my head. Deathlok was a way of sharing some of my thoughts about all of this.
Foremost, though, Deathlok was supposed to be a modern-day take on Marvel's The Thing (a man alienated by his surface appearance), as well as my own commentary on the "grim and gritty" trend in comic book heroes. Contrary to the fashion at the time, I wanted to do a superhero who was more moral than I, not less. […]
You've talked about how the character of Buck Wild came about as a commentary on the complicated love/hate relationship you had with Luke Cage. Do you still feel the need to address that relationship today? Did doing those issues with Buck help work that stuff out?
I'd worked those issues out even before I started Milestone. I just wanted to share those ideas with the comic book readership in an entertaining matter. Interestingly, those stories are about to be reprinted this summer as Icon: Mothership Connection. The excesses of Blaxploitation comics characters like Cage is the past, though. I'm much more interested in dealing with the stuff that's going on now: more green characters with their own monthlies than black characters, a criminal lack of people of color in writing and editorial positions on mainstream books, et cetera… The last time I tried to write about that stuff in a mainstream book, my story was bounced (by the same people who asked me to write about it, mind you), and my editors wanted to replace it with clichés from twenty years ago, clichés that not coincidentally shielded mainstream readers and comicbook creators from any responsibility for the current state of affairs. I passed on that. I'll write about those issues again when I have more control over the content.

I really love to travel; I have grand plans to travel the world and the country, some of which I have already fulfilled. I also want to learn many languages. I already speak a bit of French, but I really need to practice. I have also recently started learning Swedish.
I think that where I live in Northern Arizona is so beautiful, and it is a shame I have not explored it fully. I would love to see everything the world has to offer.
I love knitting and sewing, but I am not great at either of them. I just like the thought of making my own clothes. I also love starting with quality materials and putting my soul into them until they become a unique product of my own creative inspiration. A lot of my income goes into these projects, as does a lot of my time.
Something that I have been reluctant to say on this profile for a while is that I am a cancer survivor. I have had cancer 2 times in the last 4 years. This simultaneously has so much and so little to do with my personality that I haven't included it until very recently, but it seems important enough to make the cut. Please do not message me only to talk about cancer unless you have a new and original thought. "I once knew somebody who had cancer, and they died," does not constitute a new and original thought.
I am not looking for anything monogamous right now, so if you are then I am not the woman for you.

Robot telepresence is here, it's cheap, and boy it looks stupid
Here at Marketplace Tech Report, we're awfully fond of robot stories. It's good, we figure, to learn as much as possible about the cold metallic monsters who will replace us.
One of the stories we've followed for a while is robotic telepresence, the idea that you will someday be able to skip going in to work because there will be a robot avatar for you there and through it you'll be able to see, hear, and speak to your colleagues, all while your colleagues wonder why you're too lazy to bother coming in, jerk.
Well, it's here. A company called Double Robotics has posted a video of its robot called the Double. Its operated through an iPad app (of course it is) and can basically video chat with anyone it runs into while you're far away. You can pre-order it now for $2000 or buy it for $2499 when it goes on sale, allegedly later this year.
So it'll be just like you! Except boy it looks dumb. Like a stick on wheels. Like a rough draft of the robot from Short Circuit but stretched out. And unlike you, it might tip over and then just have to lie there until someone picks it up.

IAEA Iran report influenced by the US and its allies: Lawmaker
Unfortunately the agency's track records under [current Director General] Mr. [Yukiya] Amano have proved that he is under considerable influence of the viewpoints of the US and its Western allies." Iranian lawmaker, Alaeddin BoroujerdiA senior Iranian lawmaker says the latest report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on Iran's nuclear energy program has been influenced by the US and its Western allies. "Unfortunately the agency's track records under [current Director General] Mr. [Yukiya] Amano have proved that he is under considerable influence of the viewpoints of the US and its Western allies," Chairman of Iran Majlis (parliament) National Security and Foreign Policy Committee Alaeddin Boroujerdi said on Friday. "This is while the agency must be a technical and legal organization away from the influence of major powers," Boroujerdi added. The Iranian lawmaker described the report's arguments as baseless as they are built on Iran's noncompliance with the UN Security Council resolutions. "It is clear that we do not comply with these resolutions since we consider them unfair, political and non-legal," Boroujerdi said.
Referring to another criticism leveled at Tehran by the IAEA because of not implementing the Additional Protocol to the Non-Proliferation Treaty, Boroujerdi said Iran has no obligation toward the Additional Protocol as it has not accepted the protocol.The United States, Israel and some of their allies have repeatedly accused Iran of pursuing military objectives in its nuclear energy program. Iran rejects such allegations, arguing that as a committed signatory to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and a member of the IAEA, it has the right to use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes. Tehran has repeatedly called on the IAEA not to be swayed by the US and its allies, warning that the body would undermine its credibility by publishing prejudiced reports about Iran's nuclear work.

But... Keynes WAS a conservative. He loved the civilized free society he came from, and wished to preserve it -- in part from itself.
It was a pleasure to gain a hearing for this little argument in The American Conservative.
Let's also not forget that Keynes and modern Keynsianism are distinguishable. Keynes also demanded discipline in spending during good times and running surpluses so that eventual needs for stimuli. He also would not support pumping stimuli into unproductive loser programs pursuing non-economic feel-good goals like cash for clunkers.
The other problem is that Keynes is bright as a matter of theory, but impracticable in the realities of actual politics, for reasons like those above.
Dearest Mr. Galbraith, not all conservatives are rabid and easily misled. :) I am very happy that The American Conservative allowed your essay. I, also, think the biggest flaw of the neo-Keynsians was their cowardice in making only a token gesture. Many of us used that money to get current with a bill or two---we did not increase demand in any way. You can't try to put out a forest fire with a water pistol, and then say, "Oh well, water won't put out this fire." Personally, I put the fault for this waning economy at the feet of our own US corporations and their Directors. In that insane greed for the extra few dollars in profits, and moving wages overseas, they have gutted the demand of the American consumer. If a person no longer has a decent job at a decent wage, he has no money to spend. Henry Ford was a brilliant economist in his own right---pay a man a fair salary so that he can afford to buy the goods you are trying to sell! Talk about a multiplier effect!
Dearest Sharon - At least we're not Greece. Or Portugal. Or Spain. Or... Oh, how inspiration for profits in the private economy ruins the world! You need not look farther than microeconomics to understand the rational behavior of those corporate bastards. We appreciate the corporate revenue to pay for our blessed social programs, but despise their autocratic ways enforced through hierarchies of minions, all similiarly disfigured in their morality. Ford was brilliant, but the world was also a different place when he was a king in industry. Spend time trying to make a payroll or wringing your hands late into the night trying to compete in a global market, then blog a wistful dream. In the mean time, I'll try to work hard to do the real work to keep the jobs here.
Well, GOOD for you, darling Pedro. When I DID own my own business, I did in fact wring my own hands over payroll. And guess who was the last one to get paid? Guess who made sure that her employees had some minimal form of health insurance and didn't pay her employees the rock-bottom minimum? Guess who robbed Peter to pay Paul? So save it. The bastards I was referring to were the ones who chose to leave, and gain the chance to have labor do their bidding at slave wages. The ones who believe that they have added enough value to their own product that they can RAISE prices as they cut costs and American incomes. Or the ones flooding the market with product that is 1/2 the quality at 80% of the price, and crowing how much they are helping the working man by keeping prices "low". It's not sustainable. It's simple math. Wanna fix it? How about we slash the corporate taxes of the corps who choose to produce HERE. And raise them for those who choose to produce somewhere else.

Chemotherapy is the use of anti-cancer drugs to destroy cancer cells. Chemotherapy can be used in combination with other therapies such as radiation, surgery, hormonal therapy, or biological therapy. The type of chemotherapy treatment you are given depends on many things, but particularly:
- The type of cancer
- Where the cancer started in the body
- If the cancer has spread to other parts of the body
Located on the first floor of Winona Health near the Internal Medicine, the Chemotherapy and Infusion Department services include:
- This is used to treat autoimmune diseases such as Rheumatoid Arthritis and Crohn's Disease.
- Some diseases, such as cancer, can cause the bones to release too much calcium into the bloodstream, a condition called hypercalcemia. Other diseases, such as osteoporosis, break down the structure of the bone. Bisphosphonates bind to bones to prevent or delay skeletal complications. These medications are called Boniva, Reclast, Zometa, and Pamidronate.
- When certain cancer medicines fight your cancer cells, they also lower the number of white blood cells. Colony stimulating factors help speed the recovery of white blood cells after chemotherapy. This will decrease the chance of serious infection. These medications are called Neupogen or Neulasta.
- Also called EPO, Epoetin, Procrit, or Aranesp, these treatments help increase or maintain the red blood cell level by stimulating red blood cell production. Treatments are given for Anemia and blood disorders such as, Myelodysplastic Syndrome, and from damaged cells do to Chemotherapy.
- Iron is important for many functions in the body, especially for the transport of oxygen in the blood. Iron IV medication is given for different types of iron deficiency anemia. These types of deficiencies are generally related to some form of kidney failure or bone marrow problems.
- Therapeutic phlebotomy is a prescribed amount of blood to be withdrawn for medical reasons including diseases called: Hemochromatosis, Polycythemia and Porphyries.
- These medications can be given intravenously for more serious types of infection that are affecting the body systemically. Antibiotics are prescribed for a certain course that is determined by the provider.
- Standard maintenance, including cleaning and sterile dressing changes, for catheter sites.
The department serves the adult population and manages the screening process for all patients needing chemotherapy or infusion services.
Infusion/Chemotherapy is staffed by Dr. Richard Ferris, Oncologist and two registered nurses certified in oncology nursing care, as well as other Winona Health Services providers.

Hellenic Post - ΕΛΤΑ/ELTA (Ελληνικά Ταχυδρομεία), is the Greek national postal service. The English-language website has information on the services provided: paying bills, transferring money, financial products, postal accounts and postal services.
Greek post codes are five digits long and are usually written as follows: 123 45.
The first three digits are used to identify the city, municipality or prefecture, for example the digits between 100 and 180 relate to the city of Athens, with 180 to 199 being used in the rest of Attica. The last two digits identify a street or part of a street.
There may be more than one postcode for the same street. It is important to have the exact street number in order to obtain the exact postcode. Many street names exist several times in Greece: for instance, there are more than 50 streets named Kolokotronis in Athens alone.
A post office is known as a tachidromeio (ταχηδρομείο) in Greek.
Most post offices are open Monday to Friday from 07:30-14:00. Many post offices are at their busiest from about midday until closing time. Larger Post Offices may have longer opening hours.
Post in Greece can be addressed with Latin letters using simple transliteration. Most Greeks know how to write their name in Latin letters, though how this is done can vary between people. For example Γιαννής may call himself John, Yannis, Ioannis, Gianni or Johnny in Latin and sometimes Ιωάννης in Greek.
There is seldom a standard translation for street names or villages, although most business will provide their address in Latin letters on web pages or correspondence.
Addresses are written on the lower right hand side of the postal item or letter, with the return address either on the back of the envelope or on the upper left hand side of the front.
On letters it is acceptable and common to write the given name first, while most Greek paper work and official documentation will write surnames first, followed by given names. Writing surnames first is considered more formal.
Post codes are often written underneath area names, but there is no standard.
Mail can be sent first or second class, registered or unregistered and express. Prices rise incrementally for letters depending on weight.
Some of the main services provided by the post office include:
Postal savings accounts are available from the Postal Savings Bank T.T. and have higher interest rates than other bank accounts.
These accounts are often used by people living in rural areas. The Hellenic Post has an extended network of post offices all over Greece, and the postal account services are available in all of these service points.
The Hellenic Post (ELTA) provides a mail forwarding service for up to six months. Applications for this service should be made at the local post office.
Note: This service is not available when moving overseas.

Talk about offensive fire power! And on paper and potentially, that's exactly what could be unleashed at the USMAPS next football season. Quarterbacks Demetrius Richardson & Spencer Otto will be called upon to bring their talent & leadership as the signal callers. The easiest part of their job may be handing the ball off to running back Lonnie Liggins and fullback Dan McGue, who is probably more noted for his blocking ability. Speaking of blocking and where it all starts will be up front, where you will see Matt Vilante, John Neill and Michael Netherland - who together average 6-foot-3, 298 pounds. This trio, and hopefully the addition of Frank Allen and Joey Allen could address offensive line recruiting and add talent/depth for the next five years.Then when it comes to the aerial game, you can factor in the two tight-end prospects in Corey Myers (6-5, 230) and Nathan Watts (6-0, 220), although Watts could find himself playing linebacker instead.However, when it's comes to show-time or to stretch the field, the name you should hear often is wide receiver, Nathan Hughes. At 6-foot-1, 172 pounds, the 4.42 forty speedster pulled in 38 catches for 450 yards (11.8 yds/catch), 400 yards kick and punt returns, (4 Touchdowns).The All Conference 7A West Football for 2007, who was recruited by Coach Wally Ake, is just glad to call himself a Black Knight and end the recruiting process. "Coach Brock came down to my high school on the 17th and Coach Ake made a home visit on the 23rd and that's when I committed," shares Hughes. It is clear that Hughes has developed a bond with Ake, as well as having enjoyed the connection with recruits and current players during his official visit. "I spoke to him (Ake) about the quarterbacks and I'm excited about what we have in terms of talent," declares Hughes. "I was with Demetrius (Richardson) on my official visit and he's cool. My official was awesome, the best facilities in the country, coaches were so nice - a family atmosphere and my host was Elliott Emerich, who I called "EZ E"
he was very cool and answered all of my questions.What to expect of Hughes?Kick returner: He just flies as he hits the seam.Punt returner: Can see the entire field and make people miss.Wide receiver: Can open the field, as well as using his 37" vertical, he can go up and get the ball. Hughes will be working this winter running indoor track, where his events are the 55M & 60M, with his first meet this weekend.Hughes closing out by sharing his excitement about being part of Brock's first recruiting class. "Everyday I feel better and more excited about my decision," claims Hughes. "With Coach Brock, I feel the same way I did here at Bentonville where I coach turned things around and I like to be part of that at Army."Congratulations to Nathan Hughes for joining the Long Gray Line and becoming the newest member of the Army Black Knights' Class of 2008. ...More...

This week is not only all about Earth Day, but it's also National Park Week. From April 17-25, all national parks across the U.S. are offering free admission, making it a great opportunity to visit these tributes to wilderness. We've teamed up with National Geographic to bring you stunning images of our national parks. Take a look, and vote for your favorite park!
It's hard not to find drama in the red sandstone formations that give Utah's Arches National Park its name—and its beauty. There are more natural arches here than anywhere else in the world. See more photos of Arches National Park. See more photos by Simon Christen.
Named for its resemblance to a sorcerer's hat, Wizard Island rises out of Crater Lake, "Gem of the Cascades." Snow usually closes the drive around the Oregon lake in winter. See more photos of Crater Lake National Park . See more photos by Tyson Fisher.
Local Native Americans call Glacier National Park in Montana the "Backbone of the World." Logan Pass, the highest point on Going-to-the-Sun Road, is carpeted with wildflowers. See more photos of Glacier National Park.
America's first national park, Yellowstone is home to wildlife from bears to bison and geological stunners such as hot springs and geysers. The Great Fountain Geyser, pictured here, erupts every 9 to 15 hours, shooting water up to 220 feet (67 meters) high. See more photos of Yellowstone National Park.
Not for the faint of heart, Death Valley National Park, in California and Nevada, is hot and dry. Temperatures in the park once hit 134°F (57°C) in July 1913. Zabriskie Point, seen here, offers a spectacular view of the badlands. See more photos of Death Valley National Park.
Stealthy inhabitants of Zion National Park, mountain lions are solitary animals that prefer remote, dry areas with deep canyons and steep cliffs. The cat's long, graceful tail helps it keep its balance while stalking, running, leaping, and climbing. See more photos of Zion National Park.
Yosemite National Park in California boasts deep valleys, a grove of ancient sequoia trees, waterfalls splashing into Yosemite Valley, and hundreds of wildlife species. See more photos of Yosemite National Park. See more photos by Mary Lundin.
Colorado's Great Sand Dunes National Park, which contains the highest sand dunes in North America, provides stunning views in the shadow of the majestic Sangre de Cristo Mountains. See more photos of Great Sand Dunes National Park.
Every year, a staggering five million people flock to Arizona to see the Grand Canyon's sweeping views, hike its trails, and hop on a mule for a trip through the vast canyon. What looks timeless is constantly changing: The Grand Canyon's variegated layers encode two billion years of Earth's history. See more photos of Grand Canyon National Park. See video of Grand Canyon National Park.
Zion's sandstone cliffs—in hues of creams, pinks, and reds—reveal clues to the geologic events that were important in shaping this national park, the first established in Utah. See more photos of Zion National Park.
Winter visitors to Denali National Park are sometimes treated to a viewing of the aurora borealis, or northern lights, seen here beaming down above the Chugach Mountains south of the park. See more photos of Denali National Park. See video of Denali National Park.
An eastern diamondback rattlesnake perches on mangrove roots in Florida's Everglades. Only about half of this important watershed is left today due to water diversion and draining. See more photos of Everglades National Park.

Read what Damian Carrington recently wrote for The Guardian newspaper: "For the first time in human history, the concentration of climate-warming carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has passed the milestone level of 400 parts per million. The last time so much greenhouse gas was in the air was several million years ago, when the Arctic was ice-free, savannah spread across the Sahara desert and sea level was up to 40 meters (132 feet) higher than today."
The latest poll by the Associated Press found that 78 percent of American citizens believe that the world's temperatures been rising over the last 100 years, and the poll includes 70 percent of Republicans.
Loaded with these facts President Obama, as he did in 2009, pledged that the United States would lead the way in cutting greenhouse gas emission by 17 percent of 2005 levels by 2020. "We must use less dirty energy, waste less and concentrate more on cleaner sources and to reach a new global agreement on saving the planet." he said.
Leading the deniers parade, behind Rush Limbaugh, is Fox News. The Union of Concerned Scientists noted that Fox News has misled its audience in 93 percent of its environmental coverage while nearly 97 percent of climate scientists across the globe concur that the planet is warming and fossil fuels are the main culprits.
Columnist Charles Krauthammer writes that we don't control the other 96 percent of mankind and that President Obama's plan is a war on coal and would kill tens of thousands of jobs. He states, "China and India together are opening one new coal plant every week."
Yet, only last week, the United States and China agreed on a new five-point initiative against climate change aimed at decreasing greenhouse gas emissions.
Krauthammer's concerns about India and other polluting nations are valid. Its intentions will be known when the United Nations meets in Paris in 2015 to finalize a binding international treaty to curb emissions.
Obama said of climate change deniers that, "We don't have time for a meeting of the Flat Earth Society."
Deniers should heed Thomas H. Huxley's prayer, "God give me strength to face a fact though it slay me."
I give you President John Adams' toast: Independence forever.

Change in dates. Now Oct 14 - 16. This is to better capture the Fall colors along the water falls. Sue is now able to join us, she is a great Naturalist and expert Birder. Hope you all can join us.
Well, I'm not working that weekend. We'll have to wait and see.
I picked up some information and advice on the place from some folks on a seperate URL
This gave the advice to move the trip to October and the 14-16 fits in the middle so its the best odds of a colorfull fall by dates at least.
For those coming, dress layered and light. And make sure you have room to haul the layers you peel off. Comfortable and sturdy footwear. It's a graded trail. Meaning, elevation drops about 1,400 feet over the space of two miles IIRC, and that's questionable.
Again, no promises for attending. But I owe this to myself if I can at all make it.
I put this in the Mid Atlantic group as well, Lee. We'll see if anyone else chimes in.
Oct 14 - 16. Get it on you schedules. Little more than two months away and best estimates by the locals for full fall colors and 22water falls.
A second thread with some wonderful images are on the LL discussion board.
Love to see many APUGers show up and enjoy this gem of a place.
PM sent. But I really owe this to myself. I'm in. And if the weather is passable (nights no lower than 50 and no rain or not much anyway) I'm camping.
So, that's Lee and me. Who shall make three. Rick?
My thoughts and prayers go out to those who were touched by Irene as the storms devistated so many lives. It was tough watching all the news on the TV for several days.
I noticed that the winds and rains made it all the way back into North Eastern PA and wondered if it changed the progression of the fall leaves. I believe it has but do not know for certain.
Anyone have any other update?
I've been to Ricketts Glen a few times - love it. I've been trying to see if I can swing that weekend. If I can, it'll be with the rest of the family for the weekend. Checking our "regular" B&B for availability now.
I'm in "downstate" PA, and things look pretty much the same after Irene as they did before. Weather is a bit cooler, so it's possible that it will advance the change in colors - but I wouldn't worry about it. Even if we miss the color in Ricketts Glen, the falls are beautiful.

From the April 22 edition of Fox News' On The Record with Greta Van Susteren:

From the April 20 edition of Fox News' On The Record with Greta Van Susteren:
UPDATE (4/6): Gallagher apologized for his comments on his website and radio program.
UPDATE (4/5): In a statement issued to media outlets on April 5, Chris Wallace apologized for his remark. He stated: "I sincerely apologize to Kelly Clarkson for my offensive comment. I admire her remarkable talent and that should have been the focus of any discussion about her."
Fox News host Greta Van Susteren called on colleague Chris Wallace to apologize for his "obnoxious" remark that singer Kelly Clarkson "could stay off the deep dish pizza."
During the April 3 edition of The Mike Gallagher Show, Gallagher asked Wallace: "Have you seen Kelly Clarkson? You know the singer, Kelly Clarkson? Holy cow, did she blow up."
Wallace remarked that "Clarkson's got a lovely voice" but "she could stay off the deep dish pizza for a little while."
Van Susteren referenced Wallace's remarks on her FoxNews.com blog -- in a post headlined, "Chris Wallace owes Kelly Clarkson an apology" -- and wrote that Wallace was being "obnoxious. He should apologize."
Wallace's remarks are below:
Right-wing media are indignant that President Obama appeared in a BuzzFeed video taking a selfie and saying "YOLO" as part of a promotion for HealthCare.gov.
Fox News' Greta Van Susteren injected race into the beating death of a Bosnian man, connecting the murder to protests in Ferguson, despite multiple statements from St. Louis police department ruling out race or unrest in Ferguson as a motivating factor for the crime.
On November 30, 32-year old Bosnian Zemir Begic was fatally beaten in St. Louis, Missouri. According to CBS News, three juveniles were later taken into custody in connection with the crime. St. Louis Police Chief Sam Dotson said that there was no indication that Bergic was targeted because of his ethnicity.
During a December 1 discussion of Bergic's death on Fox News' On the Record, host Greta Van Susteren and former homicide detective Ted Williams suggested that the crime may be linked to protests in Ferguson. Van Susteren admitted that police said the attack was not racially motivated, but called it "the big elephant in the room" and suggested that "we have incomplete facts" about the role of race in the attack. Williams added that Bergic's death "may very well be connected" to Ferguson, claiming the situation there is "like the war between the North and the South":
But the attack was not connected to the protests in Missouri. As St. Louis Police spokesperson Schron Jackson told FoxNews.com, the city's investigators "don't believe the incident is in any way related to Ferguson" and that the attack "is not being investigated as a hate crime."
The Department of Homeland Security definitively debunked the persistent right-wing media conspiracy theory that Islamic State fighters have attempted to cross the U.S.-Mexico border, saying the rumor is not supported by any "credible intelligence" and knocking the claim that the terrorists have been apprehended at the border as "categorically false."
What began early this summer as an unsubstantiated claim from Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) that "people that are coming [across the U.S.-Mexico border] from states like Syria that have substantial connections back to terrorist regimes and terrorist operations," (a claim PolitiFact Texas rated "Pants on Fire"), has morphed into a full-blown right-wing conspiracy theory. Conservative media and elected officials are hyping fears that members of the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) terrorist group are utilizing the U.S.-Mexico border to enter the U.S. and launch terrorist attacks, a chorus that has only grown louder in the ensuing months to attack immigration reform.
In September, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) claimed to have seen information detailing "four individuals trying to cross through the Texas border who were apprehended at two different stations that do have ties to known terrorists organizations in the Middle East," a story subsequently hyped by Fox News. Nearly a month later, the number had jumped from four terrorists allegedly apprehended to 10.
Fox News' On The Record provided a platform to Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) who claimed to have first-hand knowledge of the terrorists crossing the border. Host Greta Van Susteren replied to Hunter's allegations by asking, "Do you have any information, or any evidence, that they are actually coming in the southern border now?" And Hunter responded, "Yes. ... I know that at least 10 ISIS fighters have been caught coming across the Mexican border in Texas," citing information he'd received from border patrol agents.
But the right-wing talking point is "categorically false," according to the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees border security. On October 8, DHS spokesperson Marsha Catron refuted the rumor that Islamic State terrorists had crossed the U.S.-Mexico border, telling The New Republic:
Fox News is increasingly fixating on the gruesome workplace beheading last week in Moore, Oklahoma by a recent Muslim convert, suspect Alton Nolen. Perhaps sensing a way to once again fan its patented flames of Islamophobia while simultaneously blaming President Obama for being indifferent to the threat of terrorism, Fox is treating the murder as a national story with sweeping political implications.
Sounding the jihadist alarms, Fox News and the right-wing media are eager to label the ghastly crime an act of Islamic terror. Law enforcement officials, however, aren't in the same rush, noting that the attack came immediately after Nolen was fired and stating that they've yet to find a link to terrorism. While that story continues to play out, it's worth noting that an actual act of political terror remains in the news. It's just not a priority for Fox.
On the night of September 16, 31-year-old marksman Eric Frein was allegedly laying in wait outside the Blooming Grove police barracks in northeastern Pennsylvania, preparing to assassinate state troopers. Shortly before 11 p.m., Bryon Dickson was shot and killed as he walked towards his patrol car. Moments later, as he approached the barracks to begin his overnight shift, trooper Alex Douglass was shot and seriously wounded by a bullet fired from a .308-caliber rifle.
Described as a "survivalist," Frein disappeared into the Poconos Mountains woods where he's been hiding ever since, eluding law enforcement and its massive manhunt, which includes hundreds of law enforcement officers with assistance from the FBI, the U.S. Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.
Considered "extremely dangerous" and possibly armed with an AK-47, officials were forced to close local schools in fear Frein might attack again. Lots of businesses in the area were ordered to stay dark, and some U.S. mail deliveries were suspended out of fear postmen might be exposed as possible targets for the shooter.
And what was the possible motivation for the killing spree?
"He made statements about wanting to kill law enforcement officers and to commit mass acts of murder," state police commissioner Frank Noonan warned the public at the time. Another official noted the shooter has a "longstanding grudge against law enforcement and government in general" dating back to at least 2006.
A friend was even more explicit. "He was obviously a big critic of the federal government," a friend name Jack told CNN. (The friend did not give his last name.) "No indications of really any malice towards law enforcement in particular. Most of his aggression was (toward) the federal government."
Sounds like homegrown, anti-government terrorism, right?
"We have a well-trained sniper who hates authority, hates society, hates government, and hates cops enough to plug them from ambush. He's so lethal, so locked and loaded, that communities in the Pocono Mountains feel terrorized," wrote Philadelphia columnist Dick Poleman. "He kept camouflage face paint in his bedroom. He toted the AK-47 on social media. He collected, according to the criminal complaint, "various information concerning foreign embassies.""
But turn on Fox News and you don't hear much about Eric Frein from the channel's high-profile hosts. You don't hear much about the anti-government zealot who murdered a cop, while trying to assassinate two. And you don't hear evening hosts diving into Frein's background trying to figure out what sparked his murderous streak.
There's simply no interest.
Fox News' coverage of an evidence-free "bombshell" from Benghazi hoaxster Sharyl Attkisson took just hours to morph from a reiteration of her claim that a disgruntled former State Department employee "couldn't help but wonder" if Hillary Clinton's staff had turned over "scrubbed" Benghazi documents to investigators into full-blown allegations that documents had been "destroyed" -- allegations that remain baseless.
Fox News pundits questioned President Obama's engagement in world affairs following a press conference in which the president announced historic investments in Africa and took questions from journalists on a wide range of pressing international and domestic issues.
Fox News host Greta Van Susteren sharply criticized Fox News correspondent Todd Starnes for "very bad taste" over tweeting petty attacks on the president in response to the deadly crash of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.
Starnes has tweeted that Obama isn't "interested" in the crash because it doesn't involve "beer or golf," "Russia bracing for a severe hash tag from the Obama Administration," and "Obama won't comment on Malaysian jetliner crash until he's had a chance to read tomorrow's paper."
In a post on her blog headlined, "NOTE TO FNC's TODD STARNES: THIS IS VERY BAD TASTE, 295 PEOPLE DIED," Van Susteren wrote: "I was just sent a Mediaite article with these tweets on it. I don't know Todd Starnes (he works in NYC), but I do know he works at Fox News Channel and so do I. I don't like his tweets. They are very bad taste. This is not the time to be snarky or some pathetic attempt at humor. Let me repeat... 295 people died."
Starnes is also a Fox News Radio host and frequent presence on the Fox News Channel. He has a long history of incendiary remarks about progressives, the LGBT community, and the president.
From the June 27 edition of Fox News' On The Record with Greta Van Susteren:

For two years, the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) has been peddling the theory that the IRS intentionally leaked its donor list to a gay rights organization as part of an Obama administration conspiracy. Two separate investigations and a ruling by a Reagan-appointed judge have debunked that theory. But right-wing media, which have widely touted NOM's initial accusations, have largely ignored or denied the conspiracy theory's demise.
In the spring of 2012, an IRS employee inadvertently leaked an unredacted list of NOM's donors in response to a public records request. The pro-equality group Human Rights Campaign (HRC) got its hands on the list, highlighting past contributions to NOM by prominent conservatives like then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney.
Noting that key HRC officials were prominent supporters of President Obama's re-election campaign, NOM alleged a conspiracy between the organization and the Obama administration aimed at embarrassing NOM and its supporters.
In April 2012, NOM filed a formal letter of complaint to the IRS. Conservative outlets like The Daily Caller and The Weekly Standard touted the complaint, focusing particularly on the revelation that Romney was one of the group's donors. For most of the next year, however, media interest in the story was scant.
That changed in the spring of 2013. In May, U.S. Attorney General Eric holder ordered the FBI to begin a criminal probe into allegations that the agency had targeted tax-exempt conservative political groups. While the IRS actually scrutinized progressive groups more extensively than conservative ones, the IRS "scandal" became a rallying cry for right-wing media. The controversy also meant newfound interest in NOM's allegations against the agency.
Mainstream and conservative media outlets were quick to pick up on NOM's call for an investigation into the IRS's activities.
From Politico:
The Wall Street Journal 's James Taranto spotlighted NOM's claims in a column on the IRS controversy, asking "How pervasive is the Obama IRS scandal?":

Fox News' On the Record aired dramatically cropped video of Susan Rice to falsely claim she brushed off a question about Benghazi and did not take the deaths seriously.
On May 15, host Greta Van Susteren aired only four words from Rice's response to a question about what new information the recently-formed GOP special committee for Benghazi may find. After airing Rice saying "Dang if I know," Van Susteren cut off the video and said it doesn't sound like the White House is taking the investigation seriously. Van Susteren repeatedly emphasized that four people died in the attack while calling Rice's response insensitive:
But the full video of Rice's response shows that Van Susteren is manufacturing this latest Fox outrage. Rice's response was to the question of whether or not new information would be released. In the full version of the clip that Fox chose not to air, Rice goes on to point out that "I mean, honestly, the administration has produced, I think, 25,000 pages of documents, or 25,000 individual documents. They've supported, participated in, contributed to the investigations of, you know, seven, I think, different committees. We have had an accountability review board by a very distinguished group of outsiders."
Later in the interview, Rice emphasized the need to prevent a similar attack from occurring in the future, saying we lost four brave Americans on that day, and their families and those of us who work with them continue to grieve. And the last thing we need to do is to lose any more":
RICE: What I think about and focus on as the National Security Adviser is what we can do and what we must do with Congress to increase the security of our embassies and facilities around the world. We have a budget request on the Hill for $4.6 billion that is necessary, in the administration's judgment, to make the kind of upgrades and provide the kind of security that our facilities need. Let's focus on that. Because what is lost in all of this discussion about Sunday shows and talking points is that we lost four brave Americans on that day, and their families and those of us who work with them continue to grieve. And the last thing we need to do is to lose any more.
Watch Rice's actual response:
A look at how right-wing media ran with Fox contributor Karl Rove's speculation that Hillary Clinton suffered brain damage from a fall in 2012, laying the groundwork to establish the baseless smear as an issue for the 2016 presidential race.

Hi all,
I am in need of some hidden gems if you wouldn't mind sharing!
We are a young couple flying in to Toulouse on the 24th June (late night) and flying out on July 5th (my birthday is on the 4th!)
We are starting to look for some ideas of where to go food good local food, wine and maybe a little canoeing / cycling through cute villages. We were thinking of hiring a car for either the entire trip or maybe part of it.
Can anyone help with any of the above or an itinerary - places that have caught our eye so far: carcassonne and Montpellier (I went here when I was really young and have vague but great memories). We are more than happy to include other towns/ cities as well!
A massive bonus would be a gorge of some sort with water running through and possibility of climbing through it! (I am on a quest to find a good one but know it is asking a bit much!)

Swift to replace Lohan in romantic comedy?
Lindsay Lohan's legal woes appear to have given Taylor Swift her big movie break - the country sweetheart is the new favourite to replace the Mean Girls actress in a new film about a former child star finding success on a reality TV dating show.
Writer/producer Richard O'Sullivan initially offered Lohan the lead in his new film One Night With You after writing it with her in mind.
He told WENN, "It is ready-made for Lindsay... but we're proceeding with extreme caution while the Lohan family sorts through their issues during a very trying time."
Lohan has since served two stints in jail - the latest a 10-hour stay on Friday (24Sep10) - and spent time in a court-ordered lockdown rehab. And now it looks as if producers have moved on from the troubled star.
A source says, "It appears the romantic comedy may finally be off the table for Lindsay Lohan. The producers had actually talked to Taylor Swift's agent a few months back about replacing Lindsay, but Taylor was in the middle of her tour.
"Now that Lindsay can't conquer her troubles, they're taking the offer back to Taylor."
It's the second major role Lohan has lost this year - in April (10), she was dropped from new movie The Other Side.
It won't be Swift's first acting gig - the Love Story singer has appeared on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and in the film Valentine's Day.

1. Both in the beginning and after her mother returns from the hospital, Sammie is torn between caring for her mother and having fun with her friends. Do you think this is a normal response for a twelve year old girl? Have you ever been torn between duty and pursuing your own interests? How did that make you feel?
2. When did you first suspect that Rita (Sammie's mother) might still have "nerve" problems? What was the source of Rita's inner turmoil?
3. Tuwana has been Sammie's best friend since first grade. Cly appears during the summer the story takes place. How are these friends different? What role do they each play in the story? Which friend do you think was closer to being a soul mate for Sammie? Do you find in your circle of friends those that fill different needs for you? Do you have a best friend? A soul mate?
4. What clues were given about Rita's inner struggle? Could her suicide have been prevented? Were you able to identify the stages of grief Sammie went through following her mother's death? How did Sammie and her father grieve differently?
5. The story is set in the 1950s. Does this era hold any special memories for you? How does the intimate setting of the petroleum camp affect the story? Are small, close-knit communities the same today as they were fifty years ago? How has our need today to encourage kids to be cautious with adults changed our view of community?
6. Goldie and Slim are two very different adults who embrace Sammie. How have their own past experiences with grief and loss equipped them to be wise mentors? Have you had an older person mentor you? Have you ever mentored another person?
7. Sammie's Aunt Vadine is a difficult person to like from her first appearance on the page. Did you think Sammie tried hard enough to get along with her aunt? Have you ever had a difficult person in your life? How did you handle it? What was the outcome?
8. What was Sammie's relationship like with Joe, her dad? Why do you think he was unable to see what was happening between Sammie and Vadine? Do you think fathers today are more sensitive to their children's needs? How have parental roles changed in recent years?
9. Brother Henry's response to Sammie about her mother's suicide wasn't definitive. Do you think suicide is the unforgiveable sin? Have you ever been close to someone who committed suicide? What words of wisdom did you receive? Discuss what steps you took to reconcile the tragedy.
10. Rita had many of the things Vadine felt were rightfully hers—Joe, the pearls, a child who lived (Sammie), even the experience of meeting the author of Gone with the Wind. When did you first suspect Vadine had deep-seated jealousy and pain? How did she act this out? Were you surprised at her final act of desperation toward Sammie? Were you able to sympathize with her by the end of the story? Do you think Sammie forgave her?
11. Have you ever longed to feel loved by someone you weren't sure loved you back? For Sammie, healing hinged on finding out if her mother loved her. What was Rita telling Sammie by putting the pearls and New Testament in her chest of drawers?
12. The scent of lilacs occurs frequently in the story. How was this used as a literary device to tie Sammie and her mother together? Are there any smells that evoke specific memories for you?
13. Tuwana was fond of predicting who would be Sammie's new mother. Do you think Joe and Olivia, Sammie's beloved teacher, have a future together? What do you predict will be the outcome? What problems might arise?
14. Both Sammie's mother and aunt had psychological problems based on inability to deal with traumatic events in their lives. What are the chances of Sammie having the same kinds of problems? What does the future hold for Sammie? Is she stronger or more vulnerable because of what happened in the story?
15. What role does faith play in dealing with psychological issues and/or the effects of past traumatic events?

Mosaic Co. and other potash miners in Saskatchewan sold 1.3 million metric tons of the crop nutrient to customers in India for $625 a ton, more than double last year's price.
The sale by the Canpotex Ltd. export association reflects "unprecedented demand" for potash, a form of potassium, Plymouth-based Mosaic said Thursday. The volume is 350,000 tons more than India imported from Canpotex last year at a price of about $270 a ton, Mosaic said.
The price includes the cost of transporting the material to India from Vancouver, British Columbia, Mosaic spokeswoman Linda Thrasher said. The buyers include Indian Potash Ltd., India's largest importer of the nutrient, she said.
Canpotex represents Mosaic, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based Potash Corp. and Agrium Inc., based in Calgary, Alberta.
Mosaic shares rose $1.72, or 1.7 percent, to $104.67.

Refereed StatusNon-Refereed
MetadataShow full item record
Gazi Bay (4.92°S, 39.50°E; Figure 1) is a shallow tropical coastal water system located on the southern coast of Kenya, approximately 50 km south of Mombasa. The total surface area of the bay including that covered by the mangrove forest is 15 km2. The mangrove forest covers a surface area of about 7 km2 (Kitheka 1996, 1997). Seagrass meadows and mangrove forest cover a surface area of about 12 km2. The bay is open to the Indian Ocean through a relatively wide (3,500 m) entrance, and is mostly shallow with mean depth at the entrance about 5 m. There are several narrow shallow cuts through the reef, which is mostly submerged except during spring tide. The bay is drained by two main rivers, the Kidogoweni River on the north-west part of the bay and the Mkurumuji River on the south-west side of the bay......

9. TCU Horned Frogs / (9-13, 0-10 in Big 12) / 16 points / Last week: No. 9.
This week: LOSS to Texas, 59-54; LOSS to Iowa State, 84-69.
Notable: Just a few days removed from an upset-bid of Texas, TCU hard to deal with Melvin Ejim's record night (pictured). The Iowa State forward dropped 48 points and 18 rebounds on the lowly Frogs, whose presence in this poll may soon be non-existent.

text: A Slam Dunk Day at Piazza del Duono for athletes in MilanSuzanne Coogan | май 15, 2014 | Europe Eurasia: Italy Great memories of a slam dunk day in Milan for Special Olympics athletes and One Team Euroleague players The 2014 Euroleague Final Four in Milan officially tipped off at the Piazza del Duomo, the city's historic main square, which served as the perfect backdrop for a unified match between Euroleague stars and Special Olympics athletes on the Fan Zone court. Special Olympics and Euroleague are proud partners since 2009. 20 athletes from Special Olympics Italia joined One Team Global Ambassador Kyle Hines of CSKA Moscow and One Team Ambassadors from three other Final Four teams. This event with Special Olympics athletes has become a tradition - to start Final Four,the pinnacle weekend of European basketball,with a celebration of the values of acceptance and inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities as embodied by Euroleague. Special Olympics athlete Michele Paleari was delighted to be on the court. "It was beautiful to be together with the Ambassadors and make laughs and play." Euroleague star Kyle Hines said "This means everything to me and I am always proud to be a part of it. Related LinksRead more on the Euroleague blog

Downtown Disney's newest watering hole opened this week in The Landing. Jock Lindsey's Hangar Bar is where, as the story goes, Jock and the other members of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers used to meet. And if you're wondering "who is Jock Lindsey?"...he was a trusted pilot for Indiana Jones.
Tucked away on Ol' Man Island at Disney's Port Orleans Riverside is the Muddy Rivers Pool Bar. Situated well out of the way of the resort's guest rooms and main building, there is little hustle and bustle unless the feature pool is crowded. It appears to be the shambled kind of southern bar that you would expect to see out on the bayou, except it's Disney squeaky clean. Open to the elements with a faux weathered wood exterior and charming storm shutters that prop open.
Continuing our Friday bar hop, we've covered the super chic Rix Lounge and the charming lakeside retreat that is the Laguna Bar, but have you been over to Siesta's Pool Bar and Grill at the Coronado Springs Resort? Located pool side at the Dig Site, this is a great spot to grab a bite and a drink. Siestas opens daily at 11 a.m.
For folks who love to hit the parks and don't spend much time at their hotel during vacation, Disney's Value resorts are fantastic. But what if you're looking to slow down, and take it easy? Can you even do that at Walt Disney World? I say you can, and that Disney's Deluxe Resorts are the perfect place to escape for a relaxed and luxurious grown up vacation.
Walt Disney World has some fabulous bars and lounges to explore throughout it's property offering fun cocktails to wet your whistle and help you indulge in tropical vacation bliss. But not everyone can or wants to consume alcohol, and with the temperatures rising this summer to record highs imbibing is not always the smartest choice.
If you find yourself in Disney's Hollywood Studios and are looking for a fun place to sit down with a cocktail and some fantastic food, you should make your way to the Tune In Lounge. This quirky bar tucked between the Prime Time Cafe and Hollywood & Vine is the epitome of 1950's cocktail kitsch.
Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa is home to not one, but two lovely pool Bars. There's the St. Johns Bar at the pool in the courtyard, and the Beach Pool Bar, which is situated between the beach and lively beach side waterfall pool. Both locations offer guest a great opportunity to wet their whistle while enjoying their time poolside.
A couple weeks go, we talked about a great stop Epcot wine walk Les Vins de France, where you can find some classic French vintages. However France isn't the only famous wine growing country around World Showcase, and the Italy Pavilion's Enoteca Castello is home to some dazzling choices from Banfi distributors.
Epcot's German Pavilion is home to the 'Biergarten' a German Restaurant in where's there's a Oktoberfest style party all year long with a hearty buffet, lively entertainment and plenty of space for dancing. Themed to look like a community square in an old village in German village, the Biergarten's decor transports you to a different place and time.
Eating and drinking my way around Epcot has always been one of my favorite activities, and good Italian is one of my very favorite ways to indulge. This week the delicious restaurant Tutto Italia re-opened with new menu items, newly designed seating, and outdoor patio, and the stellar addition of a brand new wine bar called Tutto Gusto!
Within the colorful building that houses Animal Kingdom's Yak & Yeti restaurant you'll find one of two full service bars located in Disney's Animal Kingdom. However that's not where we're going to stop today for our featured bar. Today we're headed around to the back of the building, past the Anandupur Local Food Cafes counter service. Back towards the secluded garden near the bubbling fountain, where we'll find the last service window of Quality Beverages.

The Walking Dead Season 3

Re: The Walking Dead Season 3
That'd be a pretty bad way to go...
Re: Polearms, it be a great thing to do, but arguably it would be a problem if the blade would get stuck in a zombie head as they often are, allowing others to get within munching range. It has merit, but I think the group hasn't had that much time to think about it, create the weapons (even by tying a knife to a bamboo pole) and training themselves accordingly. We see they've become adept enough at taking out small groups and running away when needed.
On the plus side, killing zombies through fences came to them pretty quickly. "In the comics...":
Once they get settled, their outdoor activities inevitably drew walkers to the fence, and they foresaw that a mass of them would be a problem. They actually ended up creating a fence patrol of sorts, to kill what walkers make it to the fence, then drag away the bodies for disposal so they wouldn't pile up against the wall and eventually create a problem that way. I hope that if they're spending lots of time here, that they would start thinking about keeping the undead population outside the fence in check would be worth a thought or two. We saw there were walkers outside here and there, after all.

What do you consider is the best film adaptation of a scifi book?

Re: What do you consider is the best film adaptation of a scifi book?
I think that
are trying to be two very different things.
is more of an art film, an exercise in pure cinema, and is best experienced in the immersive environment of the theater. It's about sensation and perception and mystery, about letting the moment sink in slowly, but there's not really much in the way of story or character or conventional movie stuff.
is more of a conventional narrative. I respect what Kubrick was trying to do, but
bores me greatly.
is less ambitious, but more watchable.
But then, I think I like the book of
better than its predecessor too. I think it's a richer story, and I like the redemption of HAL.
CorporalCaptain wrote:
To some, Jackson's films are faithful adaptations; to others, the situation couldn't be further from the truth. I'm definitely in the latter camp. If I didn't know anything about the books, I'd have to agree that the films are very good. But since I do know what was cut out and changed, and since I'm missing certain things that were cut out big-time because I think they're essential, I have to say that I don't find the films to be very good adaptations. So, they are good films that are adaptations, but as adaptations, I find them to be very unsatisfactory.
Again, though, I feel adaptations are
to make changes. If you want something just like the original work, the original is still right there. The point of an adaptation is to create a new work that tells the story in a different way.
To me, a faithful adaptation is one that's faithful to the essence and spirit of the work, not to its exact words or events. More importantly, a good adaptation is one that works
by itself
as an independent entity. Something can only be said to be "missing" if
the film
is incomplete without it, if it results in a filmic narrative that, taken entirely on its own merits, does not tell a complete and satisfactory story. If the film works effectively without an element from the book, then that element isn't missing, since it's still there in the book. The film is still complete, it's just complete in a different way, because it's not the same story; it's an evolutionary descendant of the story.
