Journalist David Axe's new comic, Army of God, seeks to explain the Lord's Resistance Army's terror-filled run through Congo without establishing a proper foundation.
Comics are often subversive. From a fist-bumping version of the Obamas to the downright deadly cartoon depiction of Islam's Prophet Mohammed, drawings have the power to entertain, inform and, most of all, upset. Although anger usually arises over offensive details that appear in the work, now, a new graphic novel about civil strife in the Democratic Republic of the Congo angers through its glaring omission.
At first glance, Army of God journalist David Axe's richly illustrated and detailed comic series about the brutal rebel group known as the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) presents a seemingly benign political history of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. That is, until you realize what is missing.
In the first 11 slides, which span a period of history from the 1800s to the 1990s, Axe's quick spin through time never once mentions Congo's ill-fated, short-lived leader Patrice Lumumba, whose death marked one of the most pivotal events for the country.
Lumumba, a young, progressive pan-Africanist, became the country's first prime minister in 1960, promising a new era of stability and prosperity in the already troubled nation. However, Lumumba's life was cut short when he was assassinated in a plot involving the CIA.
After the assassination, the U.S. installed and supported the notoriously brutal Mobutu Sese Seko, who ruled Congo for more than 30 years. Mobutu's reign brought poverty, corruption, squander of Congo's natural resources and, following his death, civil war — the scars of which are still visible today, as can been seen in the LRA's easy infiltration of Congo.
If this sounds like a conspiracy theory, trust, it isn't. The U.S. has released government papers acknowledging both Lumumba's assassination and its support for Mobutu.
The omission, however, is far more dangerous than any conspiracy in that it gives the impression that the Congolese are a tragically doomed people who are bent on their own destruction and that no amount of Western "help" could stop the country's fated descent into chaos.
When asked about the omission of Lumumba, Axe said that he was not aware of the leader's significance and noted that given the limited medium of a comic strip, he simply did not have the space to draw out all of Congolese history. While the space concerns are understandable, omitting Lumumba and the basic details behind his demise leave the rest of the story about the Lord's Resistance Army's terrorism of Congo a hollow shell lacking much common sense or depth, given that Congo's ongoing instability can be directly linked to foreign involvement.
Axe told BET.com that, for him, creating the comic was simply an extension of his work as a war correspondent, covering some of the most far-flung and troubled locales for various news outlets. But, given the omission of Patrice Lumumba's tale or the inclusion of how Western governments have worked to destabilize Congo, one would hope his work in print is better informed than his artistic pursuits.

In case you're thinking of naming your baby girl Elsa, know that she may not be the only one in her class. According to the British website BabyCentre, Frozen has popularized the name Elsa, and it has leapt onto the list of the 100 most popular baby names so far in 2014 – at No. 88.
While we have yet to see how the name catches on in the States, Frozen's popularity or Elsa's status as a strong, powerful female character who also happens to look great in sparkly dresses – a win for progressive parents and princess-obsessed little girls alike – can't hurt. The website NameTrends.net notes that last year, Elsa was the 528th most popular girl's name, being given to only about one in roughly 34,000 children, and it hasn't eked into the American top 100 list in the last century. This might be the Year of Elsa.
But does every Disney princess generate a wave of little girls named after her? Not necessarily, in spite of Disney's marketing might. Here's a look at how the princesses' royal names have fared in the real world.

Thank you for your help and kindness to those we had contact with. Also to the staff for their efforts in putting the cabinets together.
We are happy people!
We can not begin to thank everyone at ENH for our beautiful kitchen. I didn't think it was possible to ever beat the two previous kitchens you have done for us up in Terrace, BC. Our kitchen definately is amazing.
We, as clients, felt at ease and always felt comfortable from the start to the finished project. Once again, thank you so very much for everything you have done for us.
We just want you to know how awesome the cabinets look-well worth the wait!
Your installer was first rate, a perfectionist and friendly.
We will be calling (hopefully sooner rather than later) when we do our next kitchen.
Thanks so much for the exemplary service.
We recognize that you just don't get service like that very often and we want you to know that it is very much appreciated.
We knew we might pay a little more to get the kitchen we desired. But with the service ENH Provided, we feel that we saved money.
Also recieving personal attention from the initial design to the final installation, we are so pleased with the final results and are confident that we saved money in the long run by doing business with the right company.
I must say that I have enjoyed working with ENH. From the sub-trades that I have dealt with- I will say that ENH are effecient and high standard.
The Installer is also very nice and easy to talk to when he is there. Thank you to all at ENH.

What are we looking for?
Stocks that are cheap yet have strong earnings growth.
More about today's screen
Today we'll use PEG ratios; PEG stands for price/earnings to growth. This ratio helps investors determine whether they are overpaying for earnings growth. For instance, if a company's P/E is 10 and its earnings growth is 10 per cent, then its PEG would be 1. If the P/E were just 5 on earnings growth of 10 per cent, then the PEG would be 0.5. If the P/E were 20 on growth of 10 per cent then the PEG would be 2. Lower PEGs are better if you want to buy cheap growth.
Morningstar CPMS, a Toronto-based equity research and portfolio analysis firm, will help with this screen today. Morningstar CPMS maintains a database of about 660 of the largest and more liquid stocks in the country and spends a lot of time adjusting for unusual accounting items in each company's quarterly results to make sure screens can perform correctly.
Jamie Hynes, a Morningstar CPMS senior consultant, ran a PEG screen using five-year earnings growth normalized to remove unusual accounting items. The screen had the following additional criteria: Stocks had to be selected from the S&P/TSX equity index, must have a P/E lower than the median in the index, a five-year EPS growth rate greater than the median of the index, and a standard deviation of five-year earnings growth lower than the median of the index. (By limiting standard deviation we can find stocks with relatively steady earnings growth.)
Mr. Hynes also selected a maximum of five stocks from each S&P/TSX sector. The P/E is based on forward earnings, that is, expected 2011 earnings for most companies. The result is a list of stocks originally selected on Dec. 31, 2009, updated with last Friday's prices. A backtest of this screen found that reselecting the top 20 PEG stocks going back to 1992 produced a 13.65 per cent annual return, compared with 9.94 per cent for the S&P/TSX total return index, Mr. Hynes said.
What did we find out?
If you believe Research In Motion Ltd. can keep growing, then here is another sign that this stock is cheap. Its annualized per year growth of normalized earnings (excluding unusual items) over the last five years is 96 per cent, yet its P/E is less than 10.

But yeah, we could probably come up with some predefined conditions for warning or alerts.

Worrying a too much about office politics can really trip you, says a new finding from Canada.
A study by University of British Columbia (UBC) Sauder School of Business reveals that paranoia about negative gossip or being snubbed leads people to seek out information to confirm their fears, ultimately annoying the colleague and increasing the likelihood they will be rejected or subverted.
"It may be best to ignore impulses that tell you that you're the victim of office politics," says Karl Aquino, professor at Saunder, who led the study, the journal Organisational Behaviour and Human Decision Processes reports.
Aquino explains that it is natural for people to wonder how others view them, especially when social acceptance in the workplace is often rewarded with power and financial compensation, according to an UBC statement.
"However, our research shows employees should do their best to keep their interactions positive and ignore the negative. As the expression goes, kill them with kindness," says Aquino.
In one of the experiments, researchers discovered that people who more readily interpret interactions with others as negative are also more likely to try to root it out through means such as eavesdropping or spying.
Another experiment showed that individuals who reported wanting information about unfair treatment within a group were more likely to have angered their group members and be the focus of rejection.
A third experiment measured study participants' comfort level with a co-worker who is worried about unfair treatment as compared to other types of employees.
Rather than be saddled with a worrywart, participants were 3.5 times more likely to choose individuals who demanded feedback on work quality.
Participants were 16.5 times more likely to prefer working with others keen to get information on work group dynamics as a whole.

The typical Bowmore fruitiness is balanced by quite strong peat and spices here. Some water and time is need until it fully opens up. – Rating: 86/100
The density of flaovurs in this young whisky is amazing as is the strong influence of aromatic spices. The finish does not interfere with the spirit. This is a superb thick exlir where a little goes a long way. – Rating: 88/100
Despite its age this malt is still quite peaty. The lovely fruity aromas are much more obvious on the nose than on the palate. Very good but not quite outstanding. – Rating: 89/100
So far I have only tasted the 2009 version of the SN which stupefied me. This is much more civilzed but still very powerful stuff. There are enough other aromas present to prevent this from turning into a mere peat bomb. – Rating: 88/100
An excellent younger Bowmore that shows what this distillery is capable of. The combination of fruit and peat here is almost perfect. – Rating: 88/100
The apple flavours are a perfect match for the briny Springbank house style. Even though the whisky has matured in Calvados casks for 6 years, the distillery character is not overpowered in any way. – Rating: 87/100
It's that time of year again, Ardbeg release their eagerly anticipated annual special bottling.
A young entry level malt in the trademark fruity and mildly peated Bowmore style, it makes for a pleasant sipping but does not provide the complexity found in the older expressions. – Rating: 83/100
There is a minimal whiff of sulphur on the nose but I am sure this is from the peating process. The whisky is quite edgy and not as complex and rounded as other Caol Ilas of this age. – Rating: 83/100
The port finish adds a very sweet fruitiness that fortunately does not quite succeed in destroying the Taliskerness of this whisky. – Rating: 84/100
Following the trend of wood-engineered NAS whisky, this Talisker offers a different, fruitier, angle than the regular 10 yo; good but not necessarily better – and more expensive. – Rating: 85/100
This is only peated at 15ppm but it feels stronger, especially with a few drops of water. There's a bit of a trade-off with the trademark Tomatin tropical fruit, but it's quite a nice dram overall. – Rating: 81/100
It needs some time to build up and benefits from a good splash of water, this fantastic whisky has the perfect balance of sherry and peat, maturity and freshness. – Rating: 94/100
Not the phenolic bomb you might expect from Laphroaig, this dram is quite crisp and clean with a nice light fruitiness. – Rating: 88/100
Edradour is infamous for wine cask experiments with very mixed outcome, but this peated expression hits the spot. – Rating: 83/100
A very sweet peated malt; that there is hardly any fruit and not much spice to compensate makes it less enjoyable for me than other Kornogs I have tried. – Rating: 74/100
The peat has almost completely transformed into fruity aromas after 30 years. The wood influence is surprisingly gentle – very delicious – Rating: 88/100
A remarkably gentle peated dram that does not slap your face but offers an intriguing mix of flavours. – Rating: 85/100
A wonderful combination of peat and sherry. It is dry but not too woody and feels older than it actually is. – Rating: 91/100
The nose and the first seconds on the palate are really nice but the flavours quickly fade away into a nondescript peaty sweetness. – Rating: 80/100

text: We went to the French Lick to take our kids on a USGA golf course fit for them. The place is very beautiful and the room was one of the nicest ones we have been to thus far. It was one of the first places I have stayed at and felt like I was sleeping in my own bed. Overall, the hotel has very beautiful decor and you can definitely tell that the restoration cost was up there! They try to incorporate other family activites, such as tennis, bike riding and bowling. However, if you plan on staying there more than a couple of days and like to stay active, you will become bored rather quickly. We checked out the casino while our kids participated one of their programs and it was very clean. My husband and I do not smoke and this is the only casino we have been to in the area where we didn't feel like we were being hit in the face with smoke! If your looking for a peaceful, slow-paced weeked then the French Lick is it!

Drinking window not specified (Add My Dates)
Wow Ross, this wine is aging in stunning fashion!
If tasted blind I would be more likely to assume Pichon Baron or other Pauillac than a Washington Cabernet. It opens with sweet, pure cassis, but as it airs there is so much smokey, leafy underbrush. Amazing minerality on the still well structured palate. The wine is definitely drying out and is perhaps a little astringent on the finish, but overall it still shows truly lovely vigor and exceptional balance.
Decanted thru Vinturi. Very musty needs to open for a few hours. Definitely ready to drink.
Wow! Still strong & full of life - incredible showing for Ross' first bottling.
Wow, this wine continues to deliver. Upon first opening this was exploding with leathery, bretty old world notes that quickly blew off to reveal a nose of pure cassis, mineral and cranberry. On the palate this explodes with fruit, much larger and sweeter than I recall. This continues to gain weight and fruit each time I taste it. With aeration this settles down and takes on a cool, dark, brooding personality of a big, young, pure Cabernet. If there is a criticism it is that the structure is showing in volumes now with a slight grittiness on the powerful finish. This is a young one and really needs a lot more time than I realized to settle down.
This was my first experience with Ross Andrew and it was my wine of the night. It had a great nose, lots of oak (I guess French) with cola and more cola. It is still very tannic with a finish that lasted 25 seconds (yes I was counting.) I guessed this was the Quilceda due to the tannins and the long finish.

that took me a while to get 'heart' clever thought.
"The Arts. We love the arts. You love the arts. But the Government, they ain't loving the arts right now."
This is so very much sharper than any writing for arts organizations being done in the U.S. Love the frank, somewhat peevish tone there.

In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material.

iHerb Customer Reviews
Obviously, you don't order this when it is extremely hot, even with next day shipping. You have to plan ahead, not a problem since it will last in your refrigerator. The product looks good and tastes good, and, unlike how iHerb handles the Y.S. raw RJ, this product arrives fresh and not burnt. The manufacturer, Ginco International, does not state the source, but it is most likely the PROC, so I do have some concern about trace amounts of chloramphenicol and heavy metals.
This product did more for me than I expected it would. Very good quality; hope they don't stop making it. Also, It blows y.s. organic bee farms version out of the water. Very happy with product

A former Lawrenceburg resident was killed last Wednesday afternoon in a vehicle accident near Highway 55 in Washington County, according to a report in The Springfield Sun.
Bobby C. Perry, 71, of Springfield was traveling north on Highway 55 when his 1999 Toyota apparently crossed the center line and struck head on a 2008 Honda, operated by Setsuko Obata, 50, of Lebanon.
Can you believe it's almost the end of summer? The stand is now closed and I'm spending Labor Day laboring in the kitchen.
It's the time I finish my canning, freezing and drying of the harvest, and it's the picture of a beautifully stocked pantry that motivates me. Well, that and the knowledge that I know what I'll be eating, where it came from and how it was grown.
I've fallen in love with a house.
If I were a proper member of my generation, I would be in a serious relationship with my iPhone, not besotted with the T.B. Ripy House.
Not the most conventional match, I know.
As a part of my series on downtown Lawrenceburg, a tour of the only historic landmark designated by the historic district commission — a group looking to preserve a swath of Main Street residences and business— seemed essential.
I don't delight in the spoils of a war between a house and the wear and tear of time.
Column as I see 'em …
Before reading this, please take a moment to read the leadoff letter to the editor next door.
Wasn't that great? That is, hands down, the best letter I've received this year.
The writer makes some interesting arguments, including that Anderson County and the City of Lawrenceburg would be better served were I in charge of everything. After all, who better to run everything than the person who knows everything about everything?
The Anderson County Board of Elections is scheduled to meet Friday at 10 a.m. for a special-called session, County Clerk Jason Denny announced Tuesday morning.
The board is scheduled to discuss and perhaps vote on the Western polling location, located at the Beaver Creek Masonic Lodge.
That location and several others become hotly debated last year when it failed an handicapped accessibility inspection.
They live here, not the North Pole.
But when it comes to stockpiling and distributing toys, even Santa Claus has nothing on Steven and Jessica Seeberger.
Thanks to equal measures of determination and online ingenuity, the Lawrenceburg couple has two warehouses stuffed with toys, but is now determined to find retail success when they open their new store, ToyBurg, on Sept. 13 in the West Park Shopping Plaza near Tractor Supply.
Two local wildlife officers are looking for about 30 children, and one of them could be yours.
Sgt. Phillip Crane and Officer Jason Wells, who patrol Anderson County for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife, have organized for the second year a youth hunt specifically for children ages 10 to 15 from here, Mercer and Franklin counties.
Their goal is to expose children who may otherwise never get the chance to hunting and all that it entails.
The former social services worker indicted on felony charges of tampering with public records is scheduled to be arraigned next Tuesday, Sept. 6 in Anderson County Circuit Court.
Margaret "Geri" Murphy was indicted by an Anderson County Grand Jury earlier this month on nine felony charges that stem from her time working in the social services office in Lawrenceburg.
An Anderson County teenager was killed Sunday morning when the all terrain vehicle he was driving went off the road and struck a tree.
Jeffrey Knight, 19, of 1282 Aaron Barnett Road was pronounced dead at the scene at 12:20 p.m. by Anderson County Coroner Mark Tussey.
Knight was with family earlier Sunday morning before leaving on the ATV and heading west on Clay Burgin Road in western Anderson County, according to Tussey.
No other vehicles were apparently involved.
Peggy Peach, class of 1974, remembers when western Anderson County centered on the happenings at Western High School.
"I've seen basketball games were you couldn't get in the door," she said. "[Western] just had a community spirit like you've never seen before."
Peach hopes to recreate the feeling of community at this year's Western High School reunion Sept. 16 at the Lion's Club pavilion at 6 p.m. at the county park.
"Everybody knew everybody," Peach said of her alma mater.

The politics of unsustainability: COP15, post-ecologism, and the ecological paradox

More spectacularly than ever before, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change Fifteenth Session of the Conference of the Parties (UNFCCC COP15) summit in Copenhagen in December 2009 exposed the limitations of established approaches to, and institutional arrangements for, international climate and environmental politics. It illustrated the paradoxical simultaneity of, on one hand, the wide acceptance that to mitigate climate change and achieve sustainability rich consumer societies, in particular, need to radically change their established values, lifestyles, and social practices, and on the other, a profound inability and unwillingness to implement such change. Conceptualising the form of ecopolitics on display (not only) in Copenhagen as the "politics of unsustainability," this article looks for explanations for the apparent impasse in contemporary ecopolitics and explores the practices that help advanced modern consumer societies to cope with the paradox of wanting to sustain the unsustainable. Adopting a social—theoretical approach rooted in the European tradition, the article focuses on one particular explanatory factor that in the prevalent context of environmental depoliticisation is receiving too little attention: the sociocultural norms underpinning all ecopolitics.

As the journey from Aguas Calientes to Cusco last night was a long and stressful one, when we arrived back in Cusco we all signed off so there was no farewell drink. Instead I went back to LOKI Hostel and got ready for Santiago where I am now.
I've only just got here. I'm staying at Bellavista Hostel which is in a neighbourhood of the same name. I'm getting a really good vibe so far. The hostel is really cool, as is the neighbourhood. Reminds me of Greenwich Village and that's saying something.
There's a barbecue on in the hostel tonight but my job is to research restaurants for you folk so that's what I'm off to do. Am sure I'll have room for a sausage or two when I get back though.

In the world of youth sports activities, one program persists as the standard against which all other programs are measured: Little League Baseball. And the Falls Church community has benefited from this program's camaraderie and community spirit since the then-Kiwanis club founded the Falls Church Kiwanis Little League (FCKLL) in 1948.
FCKLL provides an opportunity for children to learn lifetime skills—leadership, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Through proper guidance and exemplary leadership, the Little League program assists youth in developing the qualities of citizenship, discipline, teamwork and physical well-being. By espousing the virtues of character, courage and loyalty, the Little League Baseball program is designed to develop superior citizens rather than superior athletes.
FCKLL is a nonprofit corporation registered with the Commonwealth of Virginia and chartered by Little League Baseball. The program is administered by a board of directors and operated by volunteers. The board is elected at the annual meeting of the corporation held each year on the second Monday in September. FCKLL and the various leagues in Northern Virginia make up Virginia District 4, which is the first level of inter-league play in which FCKLL participates.

So I am not a fan of opening gifts in front of everyone & it seems I have been to way too many showers where the guests watched mom-to-be or bride-to-be open gifts for 2+ hours...it just seems that more fun could be had for all if that time was spent socializing or playing games...I also feel that not everyone can spend equal amounts and the lavish gifts provided by some can make others feel bad….of course I would send really nice thank-yous to acknowledge exactly what I had received…Just a FTM thinking out loud!
Is it required to open baby shower gifts in front of everyone???
Preslie Tallant 8/20/09
I would say, do what you are comefortable with.
March Of Dimes walker
Qotw; "Mom I need to bring ho and tell to school!"
I personally expect the guest of honor to open my gift while I'm there. I want to see her reaction, because I spent time and thought picking it out for her.
I agree with you that this sometimes gets boring, so I think you really have to keep things moving. Playing a game like Baby Bingo or serving cake during the gift opening also makes things more entertaining for the guests. You don't have to spend several minutes oohing and ahhing over every gift, but show everyone and thank the giver. I would just be really disappointed and maybe a litte miffed if the mom didn't open my gift there.
I mean, that's the point of the shower ... to shower gifts on the mom to be.
Nate, 9 (Spina Bifida, fetal surgery)
Georgia, 6
Bo, 3
I totally agree with you. I feel so uncomfortable sitting up there in front of everyone. I would love not opening gifts in front of everyone but my mother and family would freak out.
I think it's polite to open every gift so that the gift giver can see you doing it. I don't think people feel bad if their gift isn't as extravagant as others, I never spend more than $25 but I try to find something really special. I personally like to watch what people get, so it doesn't bother me to sit there. You also get a chance to socialize while the mom is opening, it isn't like there's silence in the room.
My mom wanted to do my SIL's shower like an open house, give a block of time on the invitation (10-12), and she would open the gift with the giver when they arrived. It was more personal and everyone else didn't have to sit there throught an extended present opening session.
Asher McNeal (11.14.06),�Jackson Riley (08.07.09), Piper Olivia (03.17..11)
I have seen it where everyone brought their gift unwrapped and layed it out on a table for everyone to see with a card. That way everyone could still enjoy seeing all of the cute things.

For me, I think it would be rude not to. THe only event I don't expect to see gifts opened at is weddings. The whole point of showers is to open the gifts. That is why they are coming. What we did at mine to help spread it out and not make it to boring, I would open a few gifts, then play a game, open a few gifts, play a game, etc...We also had finger foods and cake so people ate while I opened gifts.
Like a PP said, make the shower from a certain TO a certain time. It shouldn't take 2 hours to open your gifts.
I feel your pain and it can be torturous!!! However, I would be sad if I spend a lot of time and money on a gift and didn't get to see the persons reaction...

I am so not looking forward to everyone watching me open gifts..and having to pretend to love something even if I really don't so I don't hurt anyone's feelings. It is going to be SO uncomfortable but I think you should open your gifts at your shower since that's why people have showers. Going to be miserable though!

People love to see baby stuff. They ooo and aaa and love it. Can you believe how small these are? Aren't those precious. I know my friends and familly would have hated it if I had not opened my presents in front of them. I am also uncomfortable to be in front of the crowd opening gifts but it is part of the deal. Sorry.

Well, I'm with you on not doing it. For my sister's baby shower (which I hosted) my family didn't want her to open the gifts at the party, since that would cut into party time, but his family did. So we opted for having her open the gifts from his side in one corner, and we continued to party. But I will make it clear that for mine there will be no gift opening at the PARTY!!!!
