"Ooga-Chaka, Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka."
It's been smooth sailing for Marvel Studios as it cruises through "Phase 2" of its grand scheme to perpetually dominate the global box office. Admittedly, the post-Avengers line-up of movies is pretty safe, dedicated primarily to the solo adventures of old friends in Iron Man 3, Thor: The Dark World and Captain America: The Winter Soldier. But, Marvel's also taking a gamble that audiences will embrace the new kids on the block, the rag-tag team of interstellar heroes at the heart of Guardians of the Galaxy, despite the characters having no direct connection to The Avengers.
Many are already predicting that Guardians will be Marvel's first flop, but people have been predicting Marvel's doom for years and the studio keeps on defying expectations. Now that the hilarious, outrageous first trailer for the movie has been released, we're pretty confident that fans are going to be lining up to see what other subversive hijinks director James Gunn has in store for Marvel's newbies. The trailer has been so popular, in fact, that downloads of the track "Hooked on a Feeling" by Blue Swede saw a 700% boost in sales after its release. Gunn was even prompted to release a new movie poster, this one written completely in "Ooga-Chaka!" But, just who are these surly, slacker-ish, space-faring heroes, you ask? Read on, true believers, and all will be revealed.
In addition to being the most 'sci-fi' movie that Marvel has produced to date, Guardians of the Galaxy is also the first movie without a well-established publication history. Sure, the Guardians of the Galaxy have been around since 1969, but the team that debuted in Marvel Super Heroes #18 is a completely different line-up of characters from a future, alternate timeline. This version bopped around the Marvel Universe for more than 25 years, but they never really caught on and disappeared from comic shop shelves altogether for more than a decade. When the Guardians finally returned in 2008, they had a whole new roster and their exploits took place in the modern day. It's this second version that Gunn mined for his Guardians of the Galaxy movie.
First appearing in comic books in 1976, Rocket was originally an anthropomorphic racoon ranger from a planet filled with talking animals. The movie Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) is a "cybernetic/genetic experiment on a lower life form" with a bad attitude, a penchant for theft, and a plant for a bodyguard (see Groot).
Originally depicted as an alien invader seeking to capture and experiment on humans in Tales to Astonish vol. 1 #13 (Nov. 1960), the Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel) in the movie is an indestructible monster with a heart of gold. Gunn describes Groot as "a hundred percent deadly and a hundred percent sweet." Groot can only say, "I am Groot!"
The "most dangerous woman in the Universe" first appeared in Strange Tales #180 (June 1975). The last member of her species, the super-strong, super-agile Gamora was adopted by Thanos (yep, ol' purple mug again) and trained to be an assassin. Likewise, the movie Gamora (Zoe Saldana) is the last of her race, the Zenwhoberi, but any connection to Thanos is only speculation at this point.
Peter Quill, son of a human mother and an alien father, assumed the mantle of Star-Lord, interplanetary policeman, in the pages of Marvel Preview #4 (Jan. 1976). He would eventually gain cybernetic implants that enhanced his senses and memory, but the most recent incarnation of the character has no powers of his own. The movie Quill (Chris Pratt) left Earth as a child, hence his strong attachment to his Walkman and his Blue Swede tape, but it's unclear whether he has alien blood or not.
An action-packed epic space adventure, Marvel's "Guardians of the Galaxy" expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits — Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand — with the galaxy's fate in the balance.

No One Wants "Don't Ask – Don't Tell"
This article is the opinion of the author and may not necessarily reflect the opinions of other authors at Box Turtle Bulletin
Timothy Kincaid
July 23rd, 2008
The "Don't Ask – Don't Tell" policy was a 1993 compromise between those who favored an all-out ban on gay service persons and those who favored a fully inclusive Military. It wasn't much liked by either side at the time and is still not popular with either gays or anti-gays.
The anti-gay most visible on this issue is Elaine Donnelly, one of the two anti-gays scheduled to speak today in Congressional Hearings on the issue. Donnelly has long been opposed to the Don't Ask – Don't Tell compromise and claims that it is actually contrary to the wording of the law passed in 1993. Donnelly's position is that there are no provisions for "not asking" and that therefore the Military should have a restrictive ban including witch-hunt efforts.
To reinforce that idea, anti-gays were passing out buttons today that said "Keep the LAW, not the DADT policy."
What then are the likely outcomes of the hearings?
Return to a full ban on all gay servicepersons.
The arguments of Elaine Donnelly are a bit limited. They cannot rely on studies, comparison to other nations, or any other tangible evidence.
Donnelly has to rely on two arguments: that gays are icky, and that heterosexuals don't want to be around gay people. Because of this, she claims, the Military would be harmed by allowing gay persons to serve openly.
Because gays are icky, other service persons would be distracted from their job. And because heterosexuals don't want to be around gay people, they won't sign up for service.
While these claims do speak to the issue of open v. closeted service, neither of these arguments is particularly germane to a return to a ban. And because a return to a full ban would likely be seen by the public as homophobic and hateful, there is not likely to be much of a push in this direction.
Retain Don't Ask – Don't Tell
This is the Military's position, as expressed to the chairman of the hearings. However, the Military did not send anyone to the hearings to articulate that position. Further, they told the chairman that they would abide by congressional orders.
Since the termination of Joint Chairman Peter Pace, the opinions coming from the Pentegon about DADT have been tepid at most. The impression, to me at least, is that while the Military dislikes change in general, no one is fired up to keep DADT in place.
Retaining DADT is also the default position of John McCain, the presumptive Republican nominee for President. However, McCain's support is couched in language that suggests a less-than-solid support for this position. Rather than state this position as his own, he defers to "senior military leaders".
However, although there are few voices articulating support for the status quo, a position difficult to champion in either idealogical terms, this is by far the safest position for conservative or moderate legislators or either party.
Yes, the citizenry has come to the position where they want open service. And very few Senators or Congressmen openly state that gay servicepersons are incapable of serving their country well. But anti-gay sentiment is more more deeply felt than tolerance and while Americans don't favor the policy, they aren't rising up to demand its repeal.
As long as this issue is not brought up for a vote, no one needs to go on record as either opposing the Military, the populace, gay activists, or rightwing activists. Which probably explains why there has been no movement on this issue for 16 years in either Republican or Democratic controlled Congresses.
However, non-action may not be an option for much longer. Supporter in both parties are more vocal in their efforts to overturn this example of institutionalized discrimination. And the Congressional Hearings may indicate a willingness by Democratic Party leadership to allow Congress to readdress the issue.
As public opinion has shifted so far in favor of fully repealing the ban, and as more and more persons of expertise and experience have come to question is effectivity, legislators may find that they will need to take a stand and sooner rather than later.
Repealing the ban
This is the position favored by the citizens, a position that seems to cut across demographics.
It is also the position that seems to be enhanced with each new study, review, commentary, and observation. Over the past few years, a great many individuals and institutions that had been in opposition to full and open service have come to either reverse their thinking or to allow for reconsideration.
Most Democrats in Congress would find it difficult to vote to retain DADT. Even conservative pro-Military ex-servicemen Blue Dog Democrats like Congessman Patrick Murphy are skeptical about claims that servicemen are incapable of serving with their openly gay fellows.
Additionally, many Republican Congressmen will be hesitant to be seen to be too far out of the mainstream on this issue. As a majority of Republican voters favor lifting the ban, only the idealogues, or those who fear conservative activists, will feel pressured to take an anti-gay stance that is not popular with their constituents. Further, some Republicans may see this as a way to counterbalance their anti-marriage stance and appear reasonable and mainstream to the all-important Independent voters.
Although it may be a bit optimistic, I predict that a vote would result in nearly all Democrats favoring a reversal of the policy joined by a respectable number of Republicans.
Becoming Law
The question is whether new legislation allowing for open service would be signed by the President into law.
Were such a bill to pass under the current administration, I think it likely that President Bush would use his veto. Although this has been a President hesitant to veto legislation, he seems to make exceptions for law that would put gay citizens on an equal footing.
I think it also extremely likely that a President Obama would not hesitate to sign. He has been open in his support for gay servicepersons.
The question, at least to me, would be what a President McCain would do. Although he has spoken against changing policy, he has done so in a passive way, deferring to the expertise of others and avoiding taking a personal idealogical position. With enough Republican support, McCain might announce that "senior military advisors" don't see the change in policy to be detrimental to Military effectiveness or unit cohesion and sign the bill. Alternately, he might feel endebted to the rightwing and might veto. At this point, I don't think I can predict his action.

How 2012 F1 title will be wonThu, 22 Nov 2012 5:20 PM
How Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso can win the 2012 title at the season-closing Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday.
After helping his Red Bull team claim a stunning third consecutive constructors' world championship in Texas last weekend, defending drivers' champion Sebastian Vettel will seek, once again, to become the youngest triple champion in Formula One history in this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix.
In his 101st race, the 25-year-old German has a clear goal — to finish in the top four and thereby make it impossible for his only rival Fernando Alonso of Ferrari to overhaul his 13 points deficit and take his own third title.
On paper, for Vettel, it sounds simple enough after a sequence of results that recently saw him reel off four straight wins before finishing third in Abu Dhabi, after starting in the pit lane, and then second in Austin last Sunday.
But he knows that Alonso (31) and Ferrari will do all they possibly can, within the rules, to seize the Spaniard's first title triumph since he joined the team.
Vettel wins the title if:
- He finishes in the top four
- He finishes fifth, sixth or seventh and Alonso doesn't win
- He finishes eighth or ninth and Alonso is third or lower
- He finishes 10th or worse and Alonso is not on the podium
Alonso wins the title if:
- He wins and Vettel is fifth or lower
- He is second and Vettel eighth or lower
- He is third and Vettel is 10th or lower

After a far too long hiatus, Nick Cannon's "Wild 'N Out" returns July 9 to MTV2! As we await the highly anticipated sketch show comeback, each Throwback Thursday we'll be getting nostalgic about some of the most memorable moments and cast members from the series' first four seasons. We can't think of a better way to utilize the #TBT hash tag!
#TBT: Lil Jon, Nick Cannon and Big Boi wildin' out onstage.
2006 was a simpler time, when Lauren Conrad had just begun her "Hills" journey, the iPhone was merely a hopeful rumor and you couldn't walk within 20 feet of a nightclub without hearing Lil Jon's signature "Yeahhhh!" These days, however, LC's basically the next Martha Stewart, iPhones are 5 generations deep and the Atlanta rapper is way more corporate than crunk, thanks to "Celebrity Apprentice." My, how things change!
Still, if Lil Jon felt like whipping out his pimp cup and channeling his hit-making days, we have a feeling he'd have no problem working a crowd, like he did seven years ago on "Wild 'N Out." Just look at how much fun Nick Cannon had with him in the photo above!
#TBT: Ray J's fedora swag was so 2006!
'Course, back in 2006, Lil Jon wasn't the only chart-topper around. R&B crooner Ray J was a pretty big deal, and worthy of gracing the "WNO" stage even before the infamous Kim K sex tape scandal. Had he returned to the comedy show after his skin flick went viral, we imagine he would have taken some serious shots onstage…not that he would have minded. Have you seen the guy's new music video for "I Hit It First"? Yeah, we think he's officially in on the joke.

What You Hear Is What You Get:
Live At Carnegie Hall (1971)
Fiery 1971 live set from Ike & Tina Turner & band. By this time, they'd been tearing up concert stages all over the world with this 50s-styled soul review, relying heavily on modern-day covers – CCR's "Proud Mary" and the Stones' "Honky Tonk Women," among others. A number of the tunes get extended workouts, which lack the essential visuals of Tina and the girls shaking those short string skirts, but the band delivers the appropriate dynamics. The editing is weak, however. Ike's compositional originals, "Doin' The Tina Turner" and "Ike's Tune," each get only a half-minute on disc, but that's enough to secure some songwriting royalties, something the Turners often missed out on during their reign. It's at Amazon, HERE.

Madison Square Gardens, November 1969
From The 40th Anniversary Stones Box
A short set, not even 20 minutes, from Ike & Tina's 1969 opening slot for the Rolling Stones. Well-recorded sound makes up for the brevity, but you just know that Ike was simmering over that 'World's Greatest Rock N Roll Band' Brit/white boy crap.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Rue McClanahan, the Emmy-winning actress who brought the sexually liberated Southern belle Blanche Devereaux to life on the hit TV series "The Golden Girls," has died. She was 76.
Her manager Barbara Lawrence said McClanahan died Thursday at 1 a.m. of a stroke.
She had undergone treatment for breast cancer in 1997 and later lectured to cancer support groups on "aging gracefully." In 2009, she had heart bypass surgery.

Valdosta, GA - If you could grade your child's school, what would it be? Well the Georgia Department of Education did just that.
Valdosta City Schools scored a combined 84.8% out of 100%.
Lowndes County Schools scored 93.7%.
Thomas County Schools scored 80.9%.
And Thomasville City Schools scored 71.2%.
The state average is 79.1%.
The grades are based on factors such as graduation rate, performance on standardized tests and student attendance.
It's a new plan to give parents a detailed look at how their child's school is performing called the "College and Career Ready Performance Index". The old system just measured schools by whether they were making "adequate yearly progress" or "needed improvement".
The new system is a central part of the state's waiver from the Federal program "No Child Left Behind".
