A NATION CHALLENGED: PORTRAITS OF GRIEF: THE VICTIMS; An Old-Fashioned Man, A Pair of Loving Brothers, And a Jolly Snowboarder
Published: December 9, 2001
(Page 7 of 7)
Pictures of Jos Cardona show him dancing on a conga line with his wife and friends, clowning around after getting off a horse during a vacation, having dinner with his daughter from a previous marriage -- Sasha, 11 -- and his wife's son from hers, Miguel, 14.
He loved his family, liked the good things in life and wanted his wife, Paulina Cardona, 33, to look sexy.
She said her husband was so touched he cried when she surprised him with a tattoo of a rose on her left breast, his idea. And he cried again, she said, when the couple found out that she was expecting their first child and the baby would be a son.
Knowing his family would expand, Mr. Cardona wanted to make extra money to buy a house. So on Saturdays, the couple would get up at 6 a.m. and travel around New York City in their car selling fish and products from Ecuador, their home country, to friends and friends of friends.
When his customers found out that Mr. Cardona was missing at the World Trade Center, some asked: ''He sold fish there?''
In fact, Mr. Cardona, 35, had been working for Wall Street companies for 14 years, most recently as a clerk at Carr Futures.
The baby is due in January.
Coffee and the Man
John Rigo liked to pose as the lovable curmudgeon. ''That's Mr. Rigo to you,'' he would say, when somebody wanted something.
His two great loves were his wife, Elizabeth, and his work as senior vice president at Marsh & McLennan, where he specialized in workers' compensation claims, and put in 50- to 60-hour work weeks.
Mr. Rigo, 48, and his wife had no children, and they were particularly fond of their nieces and nephews. Mr. Rigo loved to play the subversive uncle. Last summer, the Rigos took Mrs. Rigo's nephew, Jackson Meredith, 10, to Rome and Paris.
Jackson was too young for many things he would have liked to do, among them drinking coffee. But every morning, Mr. Rigo and Jackson would sneak out of the hotel, arms around one another, and have a cup together, man to man. On the plane back, the stewardesses were enchanted with young Jackson, Mrs. Rigo said.
Jackson wanted to know how come he could attract older women, ''but I can't get the girls in my class interested in me,'' he said.
''Come back to me in a couple of years and I'll give you a couple of tips,'' Mr. Rigo told him.
To Be So Loved
Everybody loved Lucy.
And why not? Lucy Crifasi was the kind of woman who always seemed to have a big smile and time to solve somebody else's problems. That's basically what she did as an American Express travel coordinator assigned to the Marsh & McLennan offices in the World Trade Center.
Ms. Crifasi, 51, took care of family and friends as well. In recent months, she took off one day a week to spend more time with her 85-year-old mother, with whom she lived in Glendale, Queens.
She loved to travel, and over the last few years she took her brother, Frank, to London and Antigua. The day after school ended last year she took her sister, Maria, a Roman Catholic school principal, to the Caribbean.
''She didn't like going away in the summer because it was too hot, but it was the only time I could go,'' Ms. Crifasi said. ''She knew how stressed out I was.''
The Crifasi family came to New York from Sicily in 1958. Last year, the whole family went back to visit Montevago, their hometown. Then the two sisters took a side trip to Rome, where they said the rosary with the pope and toured the city. ''She made everybody feel very, very special,'' said Ms. Crifasi.
Lucy Crifasi was known for her devotion to the singer Julio Iglesias and for her classy sense of fashion. ''Lucy only had two vices,'' said her brother, Frank. ''Shoes and pocketbooks.''

Tom Ridge joins Iridium board of directors

Satellite phone provider Iridium today announced that Tom Ridge, former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has joined the company's board of directors. Iridium hopes that Ridge will extend the firm's reach by providing his "extensive experience on the global war on terror."
"Iridium's ability to provide unique solutions to combat international terrorism is an integral part of our country's homeland security initiatives," Ridge said in a prepared statement. Iridium claims that its "unique network design allows for switching and routing of mobile satellite communications in space," which the company believes makes the service "ideal for homeland security, defense, government, emergency, maritime and aviation applications."

Now celebrating its 17th year, the Brooklyn Film Festival, which will run from May 30 through June 8 at indieScreen and Windmill Studios NYC in Williamsburg, now announces its narrative and documentary feature film line-up.
This year's festival was themed "Formula," with BFF Executive Director Marco Ursino saying, "Our theme this year deals with an enigma: Is there a winning formula to communicate with the audience and ultimately create a successful independent film? We ponder this complex question by thinking about the chemistry that might ultimately achieve such a formula."
With over 100 film premieres from around the world, the festival will open with two films: T.J. Misny's "Intimate Semaphores," a collection of three short stories starring Kate Lyn Sheil ("Sun Don't Shine") and Ariane Labed ("Attenberg"), and Leah Meyerhoff's "I Believe in Unicorns," starring Natalia Dyer ("Blue Like Jazz") and Peter Vack ("Kiss of the Damned").
Check out the line-up below (synopses courtesy of Brooklyn Film Festival):
Narrative Features (in alphabetical order):
"Copenhagen" (Canada) Dir. Mark Raso - New York Premiere
(Winner - Audience Award at the 2014 Slamdance Film Festival) After weeks of traveling through Europe the immature William finds himself at a crossroads in Copenhagen. Not just another European city, Copenhagen is also the birthplace of his father. When the youthful Effy befriends the older William they set off on an adventure to find William's grandfather. Effy's mix of youthful exuberance and wisdom challenges William unlike any woman ever has. As the attraction builds and William truly connects with someone for the first time in his life, he must come to grips with destabilizing elements of his family's sordid past.
"The Girls on Liberty Street" (USA) Dir. John Rangel - East Coast Premiere
(Official Selection, Chicago International Film Festival) Her boyfriend is pulling away. Her sister is growing up too fast. Her brother is falling under a bad influence. Her friends have plans that don't include her. With one week before she ships off for basic training, Brianna finds herself trying to make sure home will be the same place when she returns.
"I Believe in Unicorns" (USA) Dir. Leah Meyerhoff - New York Premiere (Nominated, SXSW Grand Jury Award, Narrative Feature. BFF Alumni for Twitch and Team Queen) A teenage girl avoids caring for her disabled mother by running away with an older boy in a whirlwind of romance and adventure. As their new relationship turns abusive, she attempts to retreat to a fantasy world but ultimately must learn to face her stark reality and reconnect with the world she left behind. Not even unicorns can save her now.
"The Impeccables [Kusursuzlar]" (Turkey) Dir. Ramin Matin - U.S. Premiere
(Winner - Best Film, Best Director & Special Jury Award at Antalya Golden Orange Film Festival) Two sisters in their early thirties find themselves isolated in the Aegean summer cottage of their childhood, where they must deal with their uneasy sibling relationship and confront their devastating recent past.
"Intimate Semaphores" (USA) - Dir. T.J. Misny - World Premiere
A collection of three short stories. Each story is a surreal and darkly comic exploration of creative expression and how our artistic impulses have the power to unite us or alienate us. "Helberger In Paradise" stars Kate Lyn Sheil as a New Yorker who returns to her hometown to make good on an anarchistic promise to a deceased lover. "High And Dry" stars Ariane Labed as a privileged street photographer who suspects that her declining eyesight might have disturbing psychological implications. In "The Crumb of It," a struggling comedian (Jocelin Donahue) and rising star pastry chef (Chioke Nassor) find that their creative pursuits threaten to sabotage their new relationship.
"Menthol" (USA) Dir. Micah Van Hove - New York Premiere
(Official Selection, Santa Barbara International Film Festival) Four male twenty-somethings spend 24 hours reliving their high school glory days. The drugs, video games, and boozing end in a moment of terrible violence, forcing them to bury their guilt in this bleak and unflinching portrait of 21st Century nihilism.
"Movement and Location" (USA) Dir. Alexis Boling - World Premiere
Kim Getty is an immigrant from 400 years in the future, sent back in time to live out an easier life in Brooklyn. It's a one-way trip of difficult isolation, but in the three years since she landed, Kim has built a life that feels almost satisfying. She has a full time job, shares an apartment with a roommate, and is falling in love. But when she stumbles on a teenage girl who is also from the future, Kim's remade sense of self is tested.
"My Blind Heart [Mein Blindes Herz]" (Austria) Dir. Peter Brunner - East Coast Premiere
(Nominated, Tiger Award, Rotterdam International Film Festival) Kurt suffers from the rare Marfan syndrome and is almost blind. After killing his mother, he goes on a journey where the boundaries between perpetrator and victim are blurred. Haunted by her calls, Kurt leaves his assisted living home in distress. Taking to the streets, he meets Conny, a 13-year-old runaway from a broken home. She readily participates in Kurt's protest against his body, not knowing what moves him or into which abyss his journey is leading.
"Paradise Cruise" (Israel) Dir. Matan Guggenheim - U.S. Premiere
(Winner, Audience Award at Israel Film Festival in Paris, BFF Alumni for Crickets) Dora spends her time photographing Israeli military funerals and commemoration ceremonies. She is trying to capture the face of a soldier that haunts her. When she meets Yossi, a rebellious young man just out of military service, they begin to fall in love. They have an unwritten contract to never speak of their past. But they cannot escape, and their love is put to the ultimate test in this neo-noir drama.
"Preoccupied" (USA) Dir. Brendan Gibbons - World Premiere Two New York investment bankers attempt to shut down the Occupy Wall Street protests of 2011, creating their own counter movement called Bankers Unite. But if this is what the 'One Percent' looks like, it may be time to get out of the market.
"Rezeta" (Mexico) Dir. Gerardo Gatica - East Coast Premiere (Winner - Grand Jury Prize, Best Narrative Feature at Slamdance Film Festival) Rezeta is a 21-year-old model born in Albania who arrives in Mexico after making a living out of her beauty all around the globe. She soon meets Alex, a tattooed musician who cleans up the trailer where she waits during a commercial photo shoot. They quickly become friends, and then their relationship becomes something more. This is the story of their complicated romance, set against a backdrop of bands, parties and everyday life in modern Mexico.
"Traffic Department [Drogokwa]" (Poland) Dir. Wojtek Smarzowski - New York Premiere
(Winner - Best Supporting Actor & Best Screenplay at Polish Film Awards, BFF Alumni for Rose and The Dark House) Seven friends, officers of the Warsaw's traffic police department, are leading seemingly fulfilled lives. They work together, party together, together they play jokes, cut small deals and sport fast cars. Their small world gets rocked when one of them is found murdered. Sargent Król becomes a chief suspect in the case. He manages to escape arrest and as a fugitive tries to prove his innocence. Slowly he begins to uncover a corruption scheme, which points towards high circles of authority in police and politics.
"Victoriana" (USA) Dir. Jadrien Steele - East Coast Premiere (Winner - New Vision Award at Cinequest San Jose Film Festival, BFF Alumni for Just Make Believe) When Sophie Becker convinces her husband Tim, a struggling author, to invest her inheritance in a Victorian townhouse in Brooklyn, what begins as a classic American dream turns into a Dostoyevskian nightmare. After Sophie is involved in a fatal accident, the couple is faced with financial ruin, and must make a fateful decision that not only attracts the attention of the police, but also reveals long-hidden truths about themselves and their marriage.

He likes to have the morning paper, crossword solved
Words go up, words come down, forwards backwards twisted round
He grabs a pile of letters from a small suitcase
Disappears into an office it's another working day
And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of naked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more that meets the eye
Oh a stranger's face he'll carries with him
He likes a bit of reading on the subway home
A distant radio whistling tunes that nobody knows
At home a house awaits him, he unlocks the door
Thinking once there was a sea here but there never was a door
And his thoughts are full of strangers
And his eyes to numb to see
And nothing that he knows of
And nowhere where he's been
Was ever quite like this, yeah
And his thoughts are full of strangers
Corridors of naked lights
And his mind once full of reason
Now there's more that meets the eye
Oh a stranger's face he'll carries with him
And at heart he's full of strangers
Dodging on his train of thought
Train of thought

2004 Volvo V70 Wagon 2.4 Fwd 4dr Wagon (2.4L 5cyl 5M)
Hard to find parts out of the dealer,part to expensive. Avoid unnecessary and expensive dealer service. Their support is less than desirable.
Body style,interior, power, audio
Better dealer service & price
Actually I got some problems with my car only one week after purchasing it. I had to leave it at my local workshop. But since then everything has been working fine. I really feel that this is a good car. It drives very quiet, the design is nice, etc. Volvo is definitely quality.
I think that the steering wheel and the chairs in the car is the best. It feels like sitting in a movie theatre. It can't get any better. Its better than the hard chairs in other cars.
My car have automatic transmission, and sometime I feel that the changes gear to late, and to fast. The driving can get quite "snatchy" if your foot is to heavy on the gas pedal.
Understated sophistication, solid performance, good value. Well-engineered, many thoughtful amenities, excellent fit and finish. I've put 6,000 miles on it so far with no problems. A pleasure to own and drive. Not quite the space of my former minivan, but far superior in every other respect.
Exterior styling, interior comfort, good gas mileage, high quality all around.
A little more headroom (I'm 6'2'' and I just about rub the ceiling). More clearance under vehicle.
Great wagon. Very comfortable, fun for
the kids sitting in the 3rd row.
rear A/C, foldable 3rd row seat, great
When our CPO 2001 V70 was totaled last
May, we didn't think twice about
replacing it with another one...this
time brand new!
We love the comfort, luxury, and style
of the V70. Although not a powerhouse,
the engine is strong in midrange power,
and the smooth auto transmission is a
perfect match for the powerband.
The kids love the 3rd row jump seats,
and we use the SUV-like cargo capacity
Why would anyone spend $30,000+ on an
ungainly, ill-handling SUV when they
could have a sporty, fine handling
luxury wagon?
Seat comfort, cockpit design, exterior
Engine is not quite as refined as a
comparable Honda motor.

Stuart Ross's sixth poetry collection is both an experimental departure for Ross and an offering of some of his most accurate surrealistic observations to date. Gathering into one volume three discrete poetry projects – an absurdist Baedeker of image-driven prose poems about Managua accompanied by his original photos of decomposing cars, a formally various sequence of personal, narrative poems about the claustrophobic spaces and amorphous moods of hospitals, and a selection of cubist and abstract poems where Ross shows his experimental New York School cards like never before – all of the poems in this book are touched by Ross's unique ability to dissolve our common-sense understanding of the world, and then distill a more potent truth from the remains of sense and reason.
Dead Cars in Managua has been short-listed for the 2009 ReLit Awards.

HS FOOTBALL: Susquehanna finds new coach in Cook
Susquehanna has turned over the football program to a former player.
On Wednesday, the school board appointed Kyle Cook, a 2000 graduate of the school and former player, as the head football coach at its monthly meeting.
Susquehanna co-sponsors football with Blue Ridge High School.
"Having played here makes this a great opportunity to coach the team I played for and the team I watched since I was in high school," said Cook, 31, who is a substitute teacher at both Susquehanna and Blue Ridge High Schools. "Now with my work career in teaching that really offers me an opportunity to coach. And being at both schools right now allows me to stay in contact with the kids and encourage them to come out for the team and get into the weight room."
Cook, who is a graduate of Wilkes University and SUNY Oneonta, served as an assistant coach at Susquehanna last season. This will be his first head coaching assignment and he will be the Sabers' third coach in three seasons.
John Salinkas coached one season after he replaced Dick Bagnall, who guided the team to the District 2 Class AA playoffs in 2010 during his second stint with the program.
Susquehanna went 3-7 last season in the Lackawanna Football Conference Division III.
"He's a really nice young man who is willing to take on the challenge," Susquehanna principal Mark Gerchman said. "He thought his way through this. The other coaches are really excited about him having the opportunity. I had him as a student and he is a great young guy."
As a player, Cook was a wide receiver and defensive back for the Sabers during a successful period in the program's history that included a trip to the Eastern Conference Class A championship game in his senior season. Susquehanna also reached the District 2 Class A playoffs in his sophomore season.
"I plan on sitting down with coach Bagnall and talking over some things," Cook said. "I grew up with the triple veer offense, so that is what I know. Right now, my main goal is to maintain that co-sponsorship with Blue Ridge, keeping it alive and well. That is something I want to take advantage of and keep going strong.
"The kids have been in the weight room all winter. We had a lot of injuries last season and we are encouraging them to get in the weight room because the only way to cut down on those injuries is to get bigger and stronger."
Western Wayne is the lone LFC school with a head coaching vacancy.

The Bears are vying to win automatic entry into the USTA/ITA National Indoor Collegiate Championships by winning regional titles. The indoor tournament is slated for Nov. 7-10 in New York City. Johnson won twice – including a quarterfinal victory over teammate Filip Bergevi – on Monday to claim a spot in the singles final. The Golden Bear senior, who is seeded No. 2 in Moraga and ranked 41st nationally in singles, defeated the 17th-seeded Bergevi, a freshman, 6-4, 6-4, and then bested Washington's ninth-seeded Max Manthou, 6-4, 6-0, in the semis. In Tuesday's 1 p.m. final, Johnson will play Pacific's ninth-seeded Sem Verbeek. Verbeek defeated Cal freshman Andre Goransson – who was also seeded ninth – in the semis, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5. Goransson had earlier beaten Stanford's Anthony Tsodikov, 6-3, 6-4, in Monday's quarterfinals. The ninth-seeded duo of juniors Bayane and Melton topped the UC Davis team of Brett Bacharach and James Wade, 8-3, in the doubles quarterfinals, and then the Bears beat the seventh-seeded Stanford team of John Morrissey and Yale Goldberg, 8-2, in the semis. The Bears will play a doubles team TBA in the 1:45 p.m. final on Tuesday. Johnson teamed with Bergevi in doubles, but the sixth-seeded Bears lost to another UC Davis tandem – Adam Levie and Alec Adamson – 8-3, in their quarterfinal. Levie/Adamson will play San Francisco's top-seeded Bernardo Saraiva and Nils Skajaa in a semi at 11 a.m. on Tuesday for the right to face Bayane and Melton in the doubles final.

I took the new Kuwahara down to the bike co-op today so I could hang out and tinker... when I pulled the rear hub apart it was as squeaky clean and shiny as the front with virtually no wear at all.
The old grease was like honey.
Met a fellow who worked at the local shop the bike came from and said he probably put this one together back in '85 and that the Siera Grande (this is how it is spelled on my bike) sold for $700.00 Cdn and that he has been riding his '84 Sierra Grande since it was new and has used it for some extensive touring as it is a touring frame.
The '84 had a nicer Ishiwata butted frame and was the equivalent of the later Cascade sitting at the top of Kuwahara's impressive line up
He asked if I would part with the Suntour XC pedals and I said sure and then when I went to the used pedal bin I found some beautiful Suntour XC Pro pedals which are as smooth as butter on glass.
We had a good time exchanging Kuwahara lore and agreed that these are some of the nicest frames one can find and that they are even nicer than Miyata from that era.
This bike may be a keeper.
From Speedplay... these are nice as my Superbe pedals.
Parted with these 1st generation XC pedals (which more than paid for my bike).
I got a pair of the peddles in second pic. but the black part is shiney brown!

Picked up this Burley Zydeco Tandem for $150 on CL. My son and I will put it to good use. It will get new bars and two new saddles.
Catch #2 Picked up this Gitane TDF (Full 531) for my brother who got it on Philly CL. $50
They were in such a hurry to get to their "wine break" they didn't even finish painting it!
My son found a 1955 Schwinn Deluxe Racer in the garbage today! is runs good, missing one spoke. Chrome rims are pitted real bad. The fenders are real clean as is the cranks. The 3 speed Sturmey-Archer hub works perfect. Tires are good and the tubes are good. Mesinger seat is clean too. A friend gave me a 1977 Free Spirit ladies bike. It is extremely clean! I also got a Monark from another friend that is real cool but has a bunch of rust. What a week!

This is a shout out to my brother (Fender 1). Thanks for picking up the Gitane and then making it my B-day present.
I picked this up today & added the Saddle & old cola box & beer. Totally Awesome
Nope. I started that process tonight. It's crusty but in decent condition. Sadly just a tad too big for me to tide. Will make a nice E-bay flip.

"You know how they make aluminum bike frames? They take steel and suck out all the soul..." from mtbr site
Hi everyone - I got an exceptional deal on this Peugeot PSV10-N recently, and I have been doing all sorts of stretching exercises ever since, but it's still too tall for me, so I'll flip it on eBay as soon as I figure out the logistics of shipping a bike.
I'll get pics another day but I hooked my friend up with a nearly mint 1980 Raleigh Twenty in the non export version... meaning it has 451 wheels and steel brakes rather than those pathetic alloy ones.
It is one of the most stunning Twenty's I have ever seen... I love brown Twentys with those cream sidewalls on the tyres.
Yes! Pics please of the 80's Raleigh 20!
Picked up a 1983 19" Schwinn Traveler. It is in great condition with some scratching. Overalll nice bike. 4130 main tubes Suntour AR der. Araya 27" alloy rims. It cost me a total of 5.00....yep.....5.00. Cleaned it up and shines. Needs only a minor tuning.
I picked up a super nice Centurion Iron man yesterday. Then on my way to actually pick it up today, I found a sweet Nishiki cresta. Been a dry spell lately, but now it's pouring cool bikes. More pics of the Centurion in the wiw thread.
I just got this lad today. it's gonna be my winter bike but it must go some modifications!

Licensing a portion of a video I made
I have lots of experience in selling video and stills to clients but have bumped up against a new wrinkle. I thought I would ask for ideas.
Another firm wants to license a portion of a 10 minute video I did for an event. Specifically, some time lapse footage for a 30 second to one minute commercial.
What are ways to price say, two minutes of time lapse video foot for an existing video?
I am considering a flat fee for a one time use of the footage.
What should that price be?
I thank you all in advance.

Important InformationAbout Asociación Arariwa
Asociación Arariwa is a large non-governmental organization that started offering microcredit in 1994 to improve the quality of life, skills and equity of the population in the rural Cusco region of Peru. Arariwa serves the southern Andean provinces of Peru, and is distinguished by its efforts to reach the very poor, who often live in isolated rural areas.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Matt Price's top 10 comic-book series of 2011
DC Comics regained the public's attention — and the lead in market share — with a publicized revamp of its superhero line, but not all of the year's best comics involved capes and tights.
The following are 2011′s best 10 periodical comic books.
1. "Detective Comics 871-881," Scott Snyder, Jock and Franco Francavilla.
The new Batman, Dick Grayson, is put to the test as a series of brutal murders puts him up against one of Gotham City's oldest evils.
In the second story, "Hungry City," the corpse of a killer whale is found in an upscale Gotham City bank, sparking a deadly new mystery.
Snyder's opus, which includes the mystery of Commissioner Gordon's son, is a candidate for best Batman tale of the current decade. DC was suitably impressed with Snyder, tabbing him as the writer of its relaunched "Batman" title.
2. "Criminal: The Last of the Innocent," Ed Brubaker, Sean Phillips.
Brubaker ("Captain America") is one of comics' finest writers, and this is among his best books, a mixture of noir and nostalgia that's part twisted take on "Archie"-style characters, part dark secrets and murder. Artist Phillips creates compelling stories in two completely different styles for "Innocent." Riley Richards seems as if he had it all, marrying the hottest girl in town and moving on to the big city. But now, he can't forget his simpler life in Brookview. He's willing to do anything to roll back the clock — including murder.
3. "The Red Wing," Jonathan Hickman, Nick Pitarra.
Hickman ("Fantastic Four") writes a story of fighter pilots in the future who fight their battles not only in the air, but also through time. Art by Pitarra.
4. "Action Comics," Grant Morrison, Rags Morales
In Morrison's much-hyped revamp of "Action Comics," a young, brash Superman goes about his business in work boots and blue jeans, rustling up corporate criminals and raising the ire of everyone from the police and military to Lex Luthor, a brash industrialist who doesn't much cotton to the idea of a superhuman.
Superman's a bit arrogant, but very much easy to root for, as he attempts to stand up to bullies of all stripes.
5. "Daredevil," Mark Waid, Pablo Rivera, Marcos Martin.
Writer Waid and artists Rivera and Martin brought Daredevil back to his swashbuckling past in the 2011 relaunch of "Daredevil." Waid also shows the keen legal mind of Matt Murdock, the blind lawyer who is Daredevil. Murdock tries to keep his legal and vigilante worlds separate, despite his secret identity being somewhat known.
6. "Who Is Jake Ellis?," Nathan Edmondson, Tonci Zonjic.
The collection of this 5-issue miniseries features former spy Jon Moore, now a mercenary. He's able to escape capture in part because of the voice in his head — the voice of Jake Ellis. But who is Jake Ellis? He's a man only Jon can see, providing information on safe escapes and possible threats. The mystery of Ellis, and Jon's quest to discover the secrets behind it, are what writer Edmondson and artist Zonjic have laid out in this fast-paced espionage thriller from Image Comics.
7. "The Rocketeer Adventures," various creators.
Dave Stevens created the Rocketeer in the early 1980s, a tribute to the serials of the 1930s and 1940s as pilot Cliff Secord finds a jet pack that allows him to race through the air. He, his mentor Peavy and girlfriend Betty (modeled after Bettie Page) starred in several adventures by Stevens and a 1991 motion picture. Stevens died in 2008, but IDW brought back his character The Rocketeer in 2011, with an anthology series that in part benefits hairy cell leukemia research.
That would be reason enough to buy "The Rocketeer Adventures," but the all-star lineup of creators has made a book that's one of the year's best. Kurt Busiek, Mark Waid, Jonathon Ross, Mike Allred, John Cassaday, Darwyn Cooke, Bruce Timm, Kyle Baker, Gene Ha, Michael Wm. Kaluta and Chris Weston contribute to this lovely taste of 1930s-style adventures.
8. "Animal Man," Jeff Lemire, Travel Foreman, Dan Green.
Writer Lemire joins artists Foreman and Green for DC's revamp of "Animal Man," which became one of the breakout hits of the New 52. Lemire is channeling Morrison's take on the character, so readers of the 1980s Buddy Baker will find much to enjoy. The art's a little different from the DC norm, but conveys the story's mix of domesticity and dread.
9. "The Sixth Gun," Cullen Bunn, Brian Hurtt.
An Oni Press Western with supernatural horror elements, "The Sixth Gun" follows the path of six cursed guns during the darkest days of the Civil War. Bunn and Hurtt are the creative team.
10. "American Vampire," Scott Snyder, Rafael Albuquerque
Also written by Snyder, "American Vampire" follows the exploits of a new breed of "American Vampire" that has the ability to feed in the sun. The 1880s outlaw Skinner Sweet and 1920s actress Pearl Jones make their way to Las Vegas circa 1935; later the series follows Pearl and her husband into the World War II era.

It should come as no surprise a team nicknamed the Penguins keeps its nerve when things get cold.
Relatively chilly shooting didn't freeze the hottest team in the Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges. The Clark College women's basketball team raised the temperature on defense to beat Highline 73-57 for its 14th consecutive win.
Clark entered the game shooting nearly 50 percent for the season. Saturday, the Penguins shot 37.5 percent from the field, including 2 for 15 from 3-point range.
But while Clark's shooting stroke was lacking, the cupboard was hardly bare.
Clark had its high-pressure defense, which forced 26 Highline turnovers.
Clark had its poise at the free throw line, making 23 of 25 shots.
Clark also had Brooke Bowen. The sophomore from Skyview scored a game-high 25 points along with 13 rebounds and six steals.
"Brooke is our bread and butter," Clark coach Al Aldridge said. "She creates an awful lot for us. She can hit shots from the perimeter. She can drive it. Probably her best attribute is her passing."
Bowen drove Clark's offense despite having a bum wheel. Twice in the first half she left the game after rolling her left ankle.
"It felt a lot worse the second time," Bowen said. "It was a little stiff, but it wasn't a very bad roll. I tried to play it off."
Clark made up for its cold outside shooting by being aggressive near the basket. When Nicolette Bond put Clark ahead 31-19 with 6:46 left in the first half, it was Clark's first made field goal outside of six feet.
"(Aldridge) always wants us to attack the hoop," Bowen said. "He also wants us to drive and kick it out. It's just a matter of seeing what works."
Clark also dominated the boards, outrebounding Highline 47-32. Midway through the first half, Clark had built a 13-6 rebounding advantage. An exasperated Highline coach Amber Rowe Mosley called time out and yelled in the huddle "If you don't block out, you're coming out."
The Penguins led 46-31 at halftime. Then the shooting went cold as the Penguins scored 11 points in the next 12 minutes. Highline, however, never pulled closer than nine points.
"We had a little letdown." Aldridge said. "We changed up our trap and got momentum going back our way. When we went back to our matchup, things were a little better."
It helped that Highline was without leading scorer Jada Piper, who missed the game with an injured finger.
Clark, ranked No. 2 in the NWAACC coaches poll, improved to 8-0 in conference play and 16-2 overall. The No. 7-ranked Thunderbirds (6-2, 15-5) saw their five-game winning streak end.

I repeated my experiment at f/22, but omitted capture sharpening. The resolution calculated from your target was 57 lp/mm and the MTF 10 calculated by Imatest was 59 lp/mm, confirming the approx. 10% figure you quoted. It is interesting to note that the MTF10 at f/22 is at Nyquist, which would imply that deconvolution sharpening could restore some of the lost detail imposed by shooting at this small aperture.
I am somewhat confused by your statement that MTF at Rayleigh is around 20%, since I had always thought that it was aroung 10% as stated by Roger Clark. However, on checking in Wikipedia, they do mention a figure of 20%. How does one resolve these conflicting values?
When I shot 67 on film I normally used the f/8 markers for depth of field when shooting at f/16.
Eric: Basically you're doing the same thing I described I do except you're using a two stop margin rather than my one stop. I checked that link you provided on Hyper-focal. It appears a method for calculating for digital cameras and lenses rather than for anything for my film RB67. But thanks for the link. It'll be useful with my DSLR (as soon as I get one!)

is it possible to fit an oversized road bar (31.8 mm) in a "regular" stem with a removable face plate?
is it possible to fit an oversized road bar (31.8 mm) in a "regular" stem with a removable face plate?
It should be do-able, but the bar needs to be 26mm in the clamp area. I imagine they make bars like that, I recently bought a wing bar for my new bike that works with a 26mm clamp....

In memory of Jim Price (aka. sydney) ...
What you are really asking is: Is it possible to force a 31.8mm tube through a 26.0mm hole? The answer is that if you are strong enough you can do it but in the process you are going to crush and totally ruin your expensive, new handlebar. The clamp diameter of your handlebar and stem have to match within a couple of tenths of a millimeter.Originally Posted by 2mtr
thanks all.
If you're really adamant about doing this, you can construct a reducer shim. Basically you'll need a block of metal split in half that is machined to fit into a 26.0mm opening on the outside for one end and has a 31.8mm opening on the inside. You will also need to drill properly placed holes to allow the cap bolts to fit through and use longer versions of those bolts. Note that this will push your bars out a little so you will want to slightly undersize your stem length. Syntace has this sort of shim system for mounting their 26.0mm compatible aerobars onto 31.8mm handlebars.

was only asking because I wasnʻt sure what size stem my LBS (which tends to cut corners) put on my bike when they first built it up. the stem, whem properly tightened, shows perhaps 1.5 mm of bolt threading.
As previously mentioned, probably not. You should have told us the scenario in your original post. It would have kept us from thinking you were crazy. Which is something my wife accuses me of all the time. Good luck.Originally Posted by 2mtr

I've seen 26.0mm bars stuffed into a 25.4mm stem. And it mangles them. And that's just 0.6mm. So, your LBS couldn't cut this sort of corner. But if you don't trust them, this is at least a valid question.
As a Marine Gunnery Sergeant told me a long time ago "Boy, you ain't gonna put 10 pound of sh*t in a 5 pound bag." I'm sure you could ghetto it somewhat, but just get the proper stem/bar combo for safety.

Rand's stand against Obama's CIA nominee
QWhy did Republican Rand Paul "filibuster" a presidential nominee this week?
Why did Republican Rand Paul "filibuster" a presidential nominee in the US Senate this week?
It started at 11.47am on Wednesday and ended at 12.39am on Thursday. Republican senator Rand Paul stood on the floor of the US Senate for 12 hours and 52 minutes using the "filibuster", the old-fashioned Capitol Hill blocking tactic where the speaker talks and talks (and talks some more), to delay a vote.
The Kentucky senator, a darling of the far-right Tea Party movement in the Republican Party, took to his feet saying, "I will speak until I can speak no longer", to challenge the nomination of John Brennan, President Obama's choice to become the next director of the CIA following the resignation of David Petraeus last November.
Strom Thurmond, the legendary South Carolina senator, is said to have prepared for his record filibuster of 24 hours and 18 minutes against civil rights legislation in 1957 with steam baths to dehydrate himself so he wouldn't need a bathroom break. Paul was not so prepared. In the end, nature called. "I would go for another 12 hours to try to break Strom Thurmond's record, but I've discovered that there are some limits to filibustering and I'm going to have to go take care of one of those in a few minutes here," he said. (Wags on Twitter joked that this was one leak the White House was grateful for). As hour after hour passed, interest in Paul's big stand grew. By Wednesday evening he had become an internet sensation lighting up the Twitter machine as the subject line "#StandWithRand" trended on the social media website, making the filibuster one of the week's hottest topics.
The politician used the procedural road-block, the Senate's first talking filibuster in more than two years and only the second to last more than five hours since 1992, to push into the public spotlight deep cross-party concerns about the administration's use of unmanned aerial drones to kill suspected terrorists and whether the government might turn against citizens in the US.
Brennan, the White House's top counterterrorism adviser and the son of Co Roscommon immigrants, had overseen the drone programme whose strikes included the killing of US-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen in 2011. Paul stood into action after Attorney General Eric Holder refused to rule out a drone strike in the US. One Washington Post blogger said Paul was "waging droning warfare on drone warfare".
Despite the political drama and interest generated by Paul's oratorical stamina, Brennan was confirmed as CIA director in a 63 to 34 vote. The Republican senator did his profile no harm, raising his national standing and making his aspirations to be a presidential candidate in 2016 a little more credible.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — AJ Foyt Racing will test Conor Daly at Sebring International Raceway next week in Daly's first time testing an Indy car.
The test scheduled for next Thursday is two days before Daly's 21st birthday. Team director Larry Foyt said Tuesday he's not sure what opportunities it could lead to for Daly with the organization.
Daly is the son of Derek Daly, a former Formula One and CART driver.
Daly has spent the last two seasons competing in Formula One support series GP3. He won national titles in the Mazda and Barber series, and has been racing of late in single-seaters in Europe. He tweeted on Monday that he wanted to take the Indianapolis 500 seat Roger Penske offered to Tony Stewart should Stewart not accept the ride.

AGRA, India
Up early and off to see the Taj Mahal at dawn. We're lucky - it's a beautiful clear blue
sky day. We're among the first to arrive. As we walk through the entrance arch, we see
the palace at the end of a long walkway. We stop and stare in silence. Photos don't
prepare you for the mystical magic of this place. Words cannot describe the wonder.
The white marble is luminous and glows as the sun rises. The intricate mosaic flowers
made of semi-precious stones on the facade of the building sparkle and the marble
shimmers in the sunlight. We understand why the Taj is one of the Seven Wonders of
the World.
After a couple hours at the Taj with our guide, Nadeem, we're whisked back to our hotel
by our trusty driver "Bobby" (not his real name but he said that would be too hard to
pronounce) in our lovely minibus to our hotel for breakfast, rest and relaxation which, for
some of us, means time at the Spa! The massages are fabulous - the best we've ever
had! Doug had the one described as the "Chocolate Fondue"......he says it was yummy.
Next we're off to the Agra Fort - located on the Jamuna River built by the famous King
Akbar in the 16th Century. After touring the fort, Nadeem arranges a special surprise.
Once all the tourists are gone and the fort is closed, one of the groundskeepers
unlocks an ancient door leading down to a dark room. He strikes a match and, to our
amazement (many oohs and ahs), the room comes alive with the luminous sparkle of
precious stones and glass set into the walls and ceilings. We are in Sheesh Mahal, the
private bathing room of the Queen. There is a stone tub set deep into the ground. The
Queen would take her bath here surrounded by candles and the shimmering reflections
of thousands of precious jewels. The groundskeeper starts tapping on the walls with
the heel of his hand which produces a nice drumming sound. Apparently the Queen
enjoyed hearing music while she bathed. (Who knew?) We are ushered quickly and
quietly out of this secret place so as not to be found out by the security guards.
Before we head to a local restaurant (Indiana's - a place Janice read about in a
magazine) for dinner, Nadeem takes us to a family-run thirteenth generation shop
where we are given a demonstration of how precious stones are shaved and pieced
into the white marble still being mined from same area where the marble for the Taj
Mahal was found. We are led to the display rooms containing marble table tops, dishes,
elephant ornaments of all shapes and sizes, candle holders, jewelry boxes, Buddha
sculptures, etc. We buy a few souvenirs and everyone is happy. By this time, we're
starving so off we go for dinner and Indiana's doesn't disappoint. Great food at great prices.
Once back at our hotel, we decide to crash a huge wedding reception in process. Huge
event in excess of two thousand people. It was incredible. The bride and groom are on
a raised platform sitting on two very large stuffed chairs watching the entertainment on
a a stage in front of them. Various guests are taking turns dancing to lively Bollywood
music. Meanwhile people are lined up by the platform with flowers and gifts to present
to the happy couple. The women are all dressed in beautiful saris. There are fresh
flower garlands hanging on the walls... chairs and couches filled with guests watching
the entertainment while waiters walk around with trays of appetizers and drinks. In a
large hall next to the performance area, there are waiters behind tables serving various
types of Indian appetizers and drinks. An expansive area outside is filled with guests
helping themselves to the dinner buffet and kids running around with some type of milk
chocolate Popsicle treat. We are the only non-Indians there so it's kinda obvious that
we aren't part of the family but no one seems to mind. We stay for an hour or so and
then head for bed. Another awesome day in India.
The next morning, after breakfast, Bobby picks us up for our next adventure. As we
drive through the streets of Agra, we see pigs, sheep, squirrels, turkey vultures, goats,
water buffalo, cows, monkeys, dogs (no Milos, Ralphs, Rosies, Chickies, Bishops
or Jemmas though), horse-drawn carts, camels, chickens, people ridingh bikes and
motorcycles, people driving tuk-tuks, vans, buses, trucks and cars, markets filled with
people buying fruits and vegetables, stalls selling food cooked on portable gas stoves,
hawkers selling everything you can imagine, men standing around, women carrying
large parcels on their heads, children playing, old women begging, shopkeepers
sweeping the road in front of their stores, and the ever-present sound of horns. Even
with all this going on (sometimes all at once on the same street), it's a clean city and the
people seem happy. We love it here.
We leave Agra and drive for 45 minutes to Fatehpur Sikri ("Victorious Village") to meet
up with Nadeem. Fatehpur Sikri is a deserted medieval city built by Akbar the Great
in the 16th Century to serve as the capital of his vast empire. The complex consists of
religious, residential and administrative buildings. The Mosque is the structure copied
for the Mosque at Mecca and is very elegant, containing elements of Hindu and Persian
design. Housed here is the Shrine of Sheikh Salim Christi, one if the greatest of Sufi
saints of the Muslim world. We each bought a piece of cloth from a hawker and, once
inside, placed it over the shrine. We were given a piece of coloured thread which we
tied onto one of the marble latticed windows. As we each tied our knot, we made a
silent wish and promised to do a good deed to make our wish come true. According to
legend, our wishes will be granted. Nadeem assured us that would happen. A couple
of years ago the French Prime Minister Sarkozy visited the shrine and wished for a son.
And, recently, his wife gave birth to a baby boy. Bollywood stars are frequently spotted
at the shrine as well as Indian politicians. When we asked Nadeem (a Muslim man
married to a Hindi woman) if he believes in the power of the shrine, he answered, quite
sincerely, that he does.
Once we finished touring Fatehpur Sikri, we bid farewell to Nadeem and continued
on to Jaipur, a five hour drive in our mini-bus with Bobby at the helm. We stopped for
lunch at a lovely roadside cafe where we ate outside in the sun at tables on the grass.
We arrived at our hotel in Jaipur early in the evening, settled in and had dinner. The
choices varied - some of us had vegetarian mulligatawny soup and vegan fries, one had
onion soup and spring rolls! It was all very tasty.
