My work focuses on colonial Latin America, especially on race and racialization under Spanish colonialism, as well as history and historiography, archaeology and materiality, and indigenous studies (with a special focus on Nahuatl textuality). Currently, I am working on a book tentatively titled Concentration and the Infrastructure of Race in Colonial Mexico that traces a genealogy of the forms and practices of spatial concentration as a technology of governance. It argues that the sites at which specific bodies and objects were brought together for particular ends constitute the spatial condition of possibility for the emergence and consolidation of new racial categories as well as racialized modes of governance and thought. One of the key questions I consider is the relation between specific material and architectonic forms—from centralized towns, disciplinary institutions, and segregated neighborhoods to specialized markets and general archives—and social formations.

This procedure is often used as the first step in diagnosing injuries of the extremities, but may also be used to evaluate other problems involving the bones and/or soft tissues.
This procedure may be used to diagnose back or neck pain, fractures or broken bones, arthritis, degeneration of the disks, tumors, or other problems.
A bone scan is used to examine the various bones of the skeleton to identify areas of physical and chemical changes in bone.
A CT scan shows detailed images of the bones, muscles, fat, and organs. CT scans are more detailed than standard X-rays.
Magnetic resonance imaging uses a combination of a large magnet, radiofrequencies, and a computer to produce detailed images of structures within the body.
MRI may be used to examine the brain and/or spinal cord for injuries or the presence of structural abnormalities or certain other conditions, including tumors or aneurysms.
A bone biopsy is a procedure in which bone samples are removed to determine if cancer or other abnormal cells are present.
A CT scan of the spine may be performed to assess the spine for a herniated disk, tumors and other lesions, the extent of injuries, structural anomalies such as spina bifida, blood vessel malformations, or other conditions.

Secrets of Success
It's good to be alive - REALLY!!
Saturday, August 20, 2011
Well, today I count myself lucky to be among the living. I'm basically healthy, mostly full of energy, have dealt with all the "repair" things that need to be done to my body except for the knee replacements that I know are looming..... and have even begun taking care of things that are more "cosmetic" in nature, like dental work. I have a gold crown on my right rear molar, that I got at age 15. That's 43 years ago. They told me it would only last 15 to 20 years. Well, today, it finally fell off. It was there at 10:30 this morning, I know, because my tongue is drawn to it because there is a big "hole" in it, and my dentist has been urging me to get it replaced. Anyways, I've been avoiding chewing on that side for a while because food gets caught in the hole, and there are some jagged edges at the top of the crown that have either broken off or something.... well, I was standing in the lunch room while my soft (scrambled eggs) lunch was heating up, and talking to a co-worker, doing nothing special or unusual..... and when I got back to my desk with my lunch, my tongue went automatically to the crown "just to check it out".... and OMG!!! It was gone!! In its place was a very sharp and jagged crater that immediately cut my tongue. Ahhhh - where did it go???? I certainly didn't feel it in anything I was chewing up, I didn't feel a lump go down my throat, I hadn't had a coughing or sneezing fit that might have blown it out of my mouth.... the only logical assumption is that I swallowed it!
Well, I made an emergency appointment with my dentist to get a temporary crown put back on so that my tongue and cheek wouldn't be turned into "hamburger".... and while they were fitting me with an aluminum replacement, they got too close to the back of my throat, and my hyperactive gag reflex kicked in, and I gagged, and my throat opened wide, and this huge aluminum crown fell off the back of my tooth and right down my windpipe. Oh man.... Panic time! I began to cough and gag and spit and cough some more, but it just kept working its way down my throat until it felt like it was about halfway to my stomach. Although I was coughing violently, it didn't feel like it was going to come back up, so I began swallowing, trying to get it to go down. Wasn't working. FINALLY after about two minutes of vigorous coughing, someone whacked me on the back hard, and a final violent cough sent it flying out of my throat and onto the floor! Man, that thing was about the size of a dice cut in half!!
I felt sorry for the poor dental assistant, she was scared out of her wits, and wanted to call 911. I didn't THINK I was in danger of dying, as I was able to cough and get SOME words out.... but that thing with its sharp edges really cut a trail down my esophagus, and I'm still coughing from the irritation nearly 10 hours later.
They finally got a temporary replacement crown on that back tooth, and the doc made sure he glued it in really SECURELY.... so, all's well that ends well.
But, I have found a real and unusual reason to be glad I'm alive today. I hope none of you ever have to go through that kind of panic! I hope I never have to experience it again!!
Thank you, blessed Mother!

Wow......that'll sure be playing on your mind next trip to the dentist, won't it??? I am so glad you're safe and weren't harmed, tho, OMG, that would just be scary as hell!! Sounds like you have quite a bit to be thankful for, to me! I had all of my bottom molars yanked some years back and chose to go with a partial. Have actually been considering having the rest of them jerked and just going with dentures but haven't totally made up my mind yet. May just do that on the bottom for now and just have veneers on the top, since I've never had a problem with the top teeth, I dunno. Would be nice to have a bright white smile! LOL My teeth have been dingy all my life,thanx to the antibiotics they gave me as a child when I had pneumonia, I have a set of snap ons that I use for pictures because of my self-consciousness about them. Hope you don't have any more scary episodes like that, that would almost turn you off of going to the dentist entirely!

That MUST have been horrible. I had crowns, too at different times, but NEVER had one fall down my throat. Now I have an upper plate & no real molars.
Thank the gods you are okay now.

You were so fortunate to be able to cough the darn thing up - although the ragged edges likely weren't good for your esophagus, they wouldn't have done any favors to the rest of your digestive system, either! Be gentle with your throat for a couple of days!!!

Many of our products are designed to be halogen-free wherever possible, and all of our new-generation chip products are halogen-free and brominated flame-retardant free. Where appropriate, we review and make changes to the bill of materials for our products to meet customer and legislative requirements on materials while still delivering optimum performance.
We routinely incorporate third-party lab inspections into our process to verify compliance with applicable standards. We engage an external consultant to benchmark and review our practices, and we participate in joint industry training activities to help ensure that our practices are aligned with customer and industry expectations.
Energy Considerations
NVIDIA's products are designed with a strong focus on power efficiency. In today's computing environment, where there is heavy use of video, photos and social media sites, the GPU can be more efficient than a CPU. It can often perform imaging, search and other tasks more effectively, which represents an opportunity for widespread power savings and, ultimately, a reduction in environmental impact. For example:
Focusing on the power efficiency of our products is becoming increasingly important for us. GPUs generally provide superior performance through higher power than CPUs, which in many cases (such as commercial applications) can enable users to accomplish their work in less time, resulting in decreased energy usage overall.

Where are the words to describe the winter of 2010? The ravages have been relentless and Huntsville has been battered. January 23rd, a tornado traveled down Oakwood Avenue and ripped through Five Points. Right at 100 homes were damaged.
February 5th, a gun was pulled, shots fired, and a fourteen-year-old middle-school student was dead. School shootings were no longer somebody else's problem. It touched us all, and even as we asked why, the community came together to grieve, and do what had to be done to make sure that never happened again in our schools, to our children and our community.
As the community grieved, once more a gun was pulled and bullets fired. This time it was at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, UAH. Three faculty members were dead, one was in critical condition, and two others wounded. A neuroscientist with a Harvard PhD pulled the trigger. She along with those she was arrested for shooting were among the bright and shining stars in Huntsville's rapidly growing biotechnology sector. The loss of these lives has devastated families, and sent waves of shock throughout the entire scientific community.
As if that wasn't enough, February 1st brought the announcement of the proposed 2011 Federal Budget, which, if accepted by Congress will bring the cancellation of the Constellation Projects, on which over 2500 people in the Huntsville area work.
That one reaches much further though. Workers from across the nation, engineers, blue collar and while collar alike, machinists, welders, plant workers, sewing machine operators, technicians, office workers and a whole lot more, all have jobs supporting Constellation. The mission of Constellation was to design and build the nation's next fleet of spacecraft. Ares was the flagship. The ultimate decision is for Congress, but that in no way negates the impact on this community or this nation as it awaits the final word on Ares.
As the shocks continued, Mother Nature has been relentless. The snows fell, and time after time the community has been ravaged. It is not however an end, many times over it has been written that Huntsville is a great city. That distinction was hard won through good times and bad. But even as they ask why, the citizens of Huntsville come together in community to see to their own, to overcome the hardships of nature, the challenges handed down from a very bad economy, and to heal from the wounds of a very long winter.

Standout prep coach joins Wildcat staff after seven highly successful seasons
TUCSON, Ariz. ?- University of Arizona women's basketball coach Joan Bonvicini today announced the hiring of Todd Holthaus as an assistant coach.
Holthaus, 34, joins the Wildcat staff after a highly successful stint as the girls' varsity head coach at Flowing Wells High School in Tucson. He posted a career record of 160-64 (.714) in seven years at FWHS and led the Lady Cabs to seven consecutive state tournament appearances. Included in the run were two region championships, two conference championships and a region tournament title.
His on-court success did not go unrecognized, as Holthaus was named Class 5A Southern Region Coach of the Year by the southern region coaches in each of the last four seasons (2002-05). In addition, he earned Southern Arizona Coach-of-the-Year honors from the Arizona Daily Star in 2005.
Since 2001, Holthaus has served as the Class 5A Girls' Coaches Representative, where he served as a liaison between the Arizona Interscholastic Association and region coaches. While a representative, he helped organize the 5A Southern Region tournament.
"Obviously, I am very excited," said Holthaus. "It's a great opportunity for me, and one that will be very challenging. I've known Coach Bonvicini and her staff for a long time and look forward to helping the Wildcats move to the next level."
A 1995 graduate of Grand Canyon University, Holthaus was a Dean's List student who earned his B.S. in elementary education. He earned GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-America honors in 1993 and was the GCU Distinguished Male Athlete Award winner as well. He has taught physical education in the Flowing Wells School District since the fall of 1997.
"We are very happy to add Todd to our staff," said Bonvicini. "He was very successful at Flowing Wells and very active at our camps. Todd is a tremendous addition to our staff."
Holthaus fills the vacancy left by former assistant Shimmy Gray, who was named head coach at Saint Louis University on April 19.

HTC Titan II can now be bought for just $149.99
The HTC Titan II was released by AT&T yesterday. This gigantic Windows Phone has a 16 MP camera and has been priced by the carrier at $199.99 with a new two-year contract. That's not out of the ordinary, for it is the price point at which most high-end devices (iPhone included) are sold nowdays.
However, following in the footsteps of the Nokia Lumia 900 which was also released yesterday, the Titan II can now be bought for less, should you choose to do so from a third party source. The one to head over to in this case is Walmart Wireless. On its website, the retailer lets you buy the HTC Titan II, complete with two-year AT&T service agreement, for just $149.99.
That's $50 off the regular price after just one day on the market. We're not even going to try and imagine what the Titan II will go for in a few months. Still, if you absolutely must play early adopter here, $50 less is $50 more left in your pocket for other stuff. Keep that in mind.

While "Pretty Little Liars" has never been the most realistic show, Ali (Sasha Pieterse) faced a very real problem on "Hot for Teacher," which aired February 4. After being on the run for so long, Ali is starting to run out of money, and she's relying on the one person she can apparently trust, Shana, to help her.
Yet the four friends don't quite know that. Sure, Emily (Shay Mitchell) knows that Shana is Ali's only point of contact, and that Shana needs Emily to get the hidden five grand for Ali from her old bedroom, but it's still hard to trust Shana and her many faces. And really, by episode's end on this ABC Family drama, yet another one of Shana's faces shows.
But before all that, the girls are starting to dig themselves quite the hole in the world of A. That's because, despite the four of them agreeing to stop looking into A, Spencer (Troian Bellisario) is doing anything but. She's headed into a downward spiral of prescription drugs as she becomes increasingly obsessed with Ezra (Ian Harding). Even Ezra's warning, cloaked in terms of a paper critique -- "sloppy work leads to consequences. I'd hate to see you suffer" -- doesn't seem to stop her.
Through all this, Aria (Lucy Hale) doesn't have a clue about the danger she's in on "PLL" "Hot for Teacher." Ezra has sunk his fangs into her, and he's covering all his bases, even introducing himself to Jesse the counselor after he realizes that Aria's been talking to him. Then he takes her out to his cabin for a weekend away, and manipulates her into staying when she wants to leave.
But that's hardly the creepiest moment of all. Rather, that belongs to Ezra tricking Aria into running an hour-long errand so he can visit his lair basement. It's in this lair where he goes through all sorts of photos, that presumably someone else took for him, of the girls and what they've been up to. He clearly knows what Spencer is up to, and it's about to get real.
While Aria is asleep in bed on "Pretty Little Liars," Ezra hangs out in his car checking out some more photos, including one of Spencer getting into his apartment building. Luckily for Spencer though, Hanna (Ashley Benson) has been looking out for her friend. After befriending Detective Holbrook, Hanna learned she needs to focus on the details. That's how she realizes Spencer isn't sleeping or studying; she's investigating. Hanna's sleuthing leads her to checking Spencer's computer, where she sees Spencer's obsession with Fitz.
Fast forward to Fitz's apartment building. Just before Spencer gets into the apartment she sees a hidden video camera, and just like that, she finally smartens up on "PLL." She shares her suspicions with Emily and Hanna about Ezra, and they think that they can work together to keep Aria safe while they find proof of who Ezra really is.
The biggest problem with all this? If Ezra really is as dangerous as they think, if he really is A, then why are the girls taking any risk at all with Aria? Sure, Aria is lying to them about her whereabouts, but they all know Aria's connection to Ezra. Not to mention, doesn't Alison know what Aria is up to? If it's Fitz that Alison is running from, why wouldn't Ali warn her friend of how dangerous he is?
Alison is still running now, even though she lost an ally. When Shana departs to meet Emily to collect the cash, she gets attacked. Whoever her attacker is moves her car to the edge of Rosewood and essentially gives her the message, "Don't come back again." Just like that, Shana is done helping Alison, despite her loyalty over the years, and now Ali thinks there's no one she can turn to, despite her dwindling cash.
In ways, Ali is still playing it safe by not reaching out to the girls. After all, Ezra apparently has a ton of cronies doing his dirty work, and they're all tracking them. But what choice does Ali have now really? And when is Ezra, who seemingly knows all, going to figure out that Spencer, Hanna, and Emily now suspect his real identity?
"Pretty Little Liars" airs on ABC Family Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST.

Bill Belichick must be feeling a little deja vu going on right now as the New England Patriots face the 6-3 Indianapolis Colts this Sunday. For years Belichick watched the Colts under Peyton Manning, but with Manning's departure, a new king has arisen. Andrew Luck was supposed to be good, just not this early. His poise, ability to read defenses and his athletic ability are all the ingredients that trouble the young Patriots defense. Belichick spoke to WEEI in Boston with 'The Big Show' in his weekly appearance.
"He's been impressive. Certainly he's an outstanding athlete. He can run, he's got real good speed to get out of trouble and buy time in the pocket. He's made a lot of yards on converted third downs. … I think he sees the field well — has good vision, good poise. … I've certainly been impressed watching him."
"I don't think there's a lot of difference between him, physically, and a guy like Cam Newton, just as far as being able to run, and be strong and fast and have a good arm. He seems to read coverages well. He's got a great receiver, obviously, in Reggie Wayne. … The Colts have done a great job. They've turned that program around."

The Ghanaian was racially abused by Bianconeri supporters on Sunday and the Italian authorities have moved quickly to punish the club.Juventus have been fined 30,000 euros after AC Milan's Kevin-Prince Boateng was the victim of racist abuse in Sunday's clash between the two sides.
The Rossoneri midfielder had been targeted by Bianconeri supporters during the warm-up and as a result the Serie A disciplinary committee has moved quickly to punish the club.
Juve, meanwhile, has released an anti-racism statement regarding the incident, stressing its disgust at the actions of a minority of its fans.
"Juventus Football Club reminds its fans and the media that it is heavily involved in projects dedicated to integration and is against any form of racism or discrimination," a statement on their official website read. "Such behavior does not represent the position of the club, its millions of fans or even the vast majority of spectators at Juventus Stadium, which is something unique in Italian football.
"This statement is not in any way intended to contest the decision of the sporting judge."

|Vandals climb to third
IRVINE, Calif. - The University of Idaho women's golf team turned in the seventh-best round of the tournament and the best of the final day to pull into third at the annual Anteater Invitational.
Idaho's final-round 302 - to go with a second-round 299, enabled the Vandals to recover from putting woes in the first round that put them in catch-up mode.
"I'm happy we climbed up the leaderboard each round," coach Lisa Johnson said. "We played much better today on a course that was set up very difficult. We managed the course well from tee to green.
"I feel like the last two rounds of this tournament are the best two we've had as a team this spring. In general, we had a lot of successes in this tournament."

So it's Summertime. It's Saturday (June,14th), and it's hot. The kids are whiny and grumpy and so, frankly, are you. What do you do on a day like this? You bundle the kids into the car, the bus, or BART and head on over to the Exploratorium. For the price of admission ($15.00 for Non-Members, $10.00 for Members, and free for Lab Members), you can take in Saturday Cinema. On June 14th it's called 'Sun Celebrations'. It rejoices in the marvels of the Sun and the lure of summer. Some of the films will literally look at the sun, but others will take a look at works that create that joyful summertime state of being...a summertime frame of mind. Come bask in the screen's glow, and stay cool as the warmth of the subject of the cinema washes over you. You can catch the film at 1:00, 2:00, and 3:00 in the afternoon in the Kanbar Forum. Keep in mind some venues have limited capacity, so admittance is on a "first come, first served" basis.
Meanwhile, it's also a perfect time to check out the other exhibits. Try out 'Silage Beach': are you moving or is it the striped walls that are moving? Check out the toothpick sculpture that is an ongoing project and took 37 years to build so far as it is. Who knows how big it will be, it's scope, and how many more years it will take before it's finished, if ever it is? Ever wonder what you would look like if the right side of your face were exactly the same as the left side? You can find out at the Exploratorium! Or see what you would look like if you and your best friend were combined! Next, head over to the Explorable's workshop and try your hand at making something.
There is plenty to do, and the kids come away having had a great time while at the same time getting lots of physical and mental activity. They'll be more than ready for dinner and bedtime by the time they get home Saturday evening, and so, frankly, will you!

Band website:
Festival website:
People may argue about which band is the biggest, the best or the coolest on the Soundwave stages this year but there is no doubt who will be the youngest. The girls from LA teen rockers Cherri Bomb may barely be old enough to drive but they've already toured with Smashing Pumpkins and played some of the biggest music festivals in the world, including Sonisphere. As they prepare for their first tour of Australia, Loud had a short chat with guitarist/keyboardist and singer Miranda Miller about who they are, what they've done and what they're looking forward to when they're here.
Q: How much are you looking forward to bringing the band to Australia?
A: Oh I'm so excited! I've never been to Australia so I am so excited to go.
Q: And you're doing some other shows outside the festivals which might be an even better opportunity for you.
A: Oh yeah, we're opening for Bush and Staind, which is absolutely amazing. I'm so excited because I've loved them forever. I've loved Bush and been listening to Bush forever and Staind is awesome.
Q: Cool. So, give us just a brief history of Cherri Bomb.
A: Well Julia (Pierce - vocals/guitar) started the band and she found Nia (Lovelis - drums). They got me because I was in Florida while they were looking for a keyboardist, and so I sent in some videos. We were looking for a bassist so we asked Nia's sister (Rena) to be our temporary fit. After a couple of rehearsals, we knew she was right, and that's how all four of us got together.
Q: So what what be the highlight for you guys so far?
A: The highlight would have to be opening for the Foo Fighters. It was crazy. It was in Cologne, Germany.
Q: You haven't been to Australia yet, but where else in the world have you played so far?
A: We've done festivals in Europe. We went to England, we want to Germany and Ireland and we went to a few places there. Also, we went to France and we've played in a few states around the States... a few states around the States! (laughs) ...opening for Smashing Pumpkins as well.
Q: How has the general reaction been to your music so far? Are people really getting into the Cherri Bomb experience?
A: Yeah. I think it's really positive. People seem really surprised because we take it seriously, you know?
Q: I see that a lot. I've been friends with some female musicians for a long time, and it seems like whenever you get more than two of them in a band together, people just seem to think it's a gimmick. Has that happened to you?
A: Yeah. We've had people say that we can't do what we're doing because we're young, or because we're girls. We just say,
No, we can do what we're doing.
Q: Do you find people pointing to the Samantha Maloney (former Hole and Motley Crue drummer, and Cherri Bomb's manager) factor, as if you wouldn't be able to do anything like this by yourselves?
A: It hasn't exactly been pointed out. We've done a lot of work and she's helped us with a lot of stuff too, so it kinda works hand-in-hand.
Q: So what have you got prepared for us when you get here?
A: Well we've been working on our setlist, and we've been working on our whole set for a while. We're hoping just to go on stage and play some rock!
Q: It's probably going to be the first time most people here will have heard from you. It's going to be a whole new experience for them and for you.
A: (laughing) Yeah!
Q: What else are you planning to do while you're here with the festival? Is there anything in particular that you want to see or anyone that you want to catch up too?
A: Oh I really wanna see Marilyn Manson and Bush. I'm so excited to see them (laughs).
Q: You've got plenty of time between shows while you're here to so you might get to see some of the country. Do you get to do that much when you're touring normally?
A: Actually we got a couple days off last time, when we went to Europe. We got to go around some places. We're hoping we got a lot of time in Australia too, 'cause we wanna see AC/DC Lane and do the Bridge Climb and all that kinda stuff.
Cherri Bomb will be touring with Soundwave 2012 on the following dates-
25/2: Brisbane Showgrounds, Brisbane QLD (SOLD OUT)
26/2: Sydney Showground, Sydney NSW (SOLD OUT)
2/3: Melbourne Showground, Melbourne VIC (SOLD OUT)

Naked Paddock, by author MK Ducote, is the first book in a trilogy which is loosely based on stories gathered from behind-the-scenes of the professional race-car driving circuit. It is a world the author knows well, given that she is married to professional driver Chapman Ducote. Th novel, inspired by true events, gives it's readers a glimpse into the world of money, sex, ego, intrigue and ruthless competition that is modern auto racing.
"I grew up sort of sheltered and was really shocked at what I saw in the world of motorsports," Ducote said. Running into that world (and seeing it from an outsider's eye), "not only shocked, but inspired me. Although I had seen the world, no single idea had ever captured my attention until I saw (the private side) of the auto racing world."
Set on the stage of historic racetracks throughout the world, Naked Paddock introduces a life-like cast of colorful characters, as quirky and flawed as they are entertaining: talented young drivers, pushy agents, wealthy sponsors, fickle team owners, trophy wives, flag-girls and ambitious models.
"When I was writing I always left room for the characters to come to life and make their own decisions," Ducote added. "when I look back and read the end of the book I can see how the characters have become less like the real people (they were based from) and more-so their own -– they really came to life."
Appealing to both male and female audiences, Naked Paddock has something for everyone. The main subject matter, motorsports, contains enough grit, guts, heroism, risk, adrenaline, sex and speed to get any guy's heart pumping. While at its core, playing to its feminine side, Naked Paddock is a tale of love developing between two seemingly unlikely main characters - a brilliant, wholesome doctor and an irreverent, playboy racecar driver. With the intimate knowledge of a real racing insider, M.K. Ducote gives the reader a backstage glimpse of international motorsports, and the secretive and rarified world of the rich, famous, and infamous, from exotic locales to haute couture.
Once her Le Mans family found out Ducote was writing a book about race life, "people would pull me aside (especially drivers) and would tell me stories about other drivers," she laughed. The drivers ratted each other out to her and shared many juicy and highly embarrassing stories. Being around, "these talented men reminded me of the show Entourage," Ducote said. "Here are these talented guys running around playing pranks on each other and since everything in motorsports is amplified (from egos to budgets), the jokes are all bigger too."
At its heart, Naked Paddock can be pared down to one man. Attractive, daring and privileged, Coleton Loren is a professional racecar driver unaccustomed to setbacks who finds himself injured in the off-season. Charmed by his beautiful, yet bookish doctor, Camilla, he sweeps her into his world—a world of gossip and glamour that she never knew or dreamed of—as he fights to reclaim the top step of the podium.
Naked Paddock is published by Warchest Publishing, LLC and is now available at your favorite bookstore, on Amazon.com in softcover and eBook.
Be sure to subscribe to the West Palm Beach Motorsports Examiner, and keep track of your favorite racers, no matter how many (or how few) wheels they may or may not race on.

One of the most overlooked parts of exercise nutrition is the night-time snack. Eating a low-carb, protein-dense snack right before you go to bed helps slow muscle catabolism, maintain an overall anabolic state, and burn fat.
Sources of slow-digesting protein
The most reliable sources of slow-digesting proteins are isolated casein protein and cottage cheese. Rather than digest quickly and thus absorb quickly, casein protein (which is present in cottage cheese, and other dairy products) takes 4-6 hours to completely digest, and therefore your body actually burns calories while you sleep, and consuming it regularly over a long period of time has shown to have excellent results.
A delicious night-time shake
Here is an example of the perfect snack, to be eaten right before you go to bed. In a blender, mix the following:
- 1 cup lactose-free 2% milk, such as Mootopia, available at the Hancock Center HEB
- 2 tbl all-natural, no-additive peanut butter, such as that from Central Market on 35th St
- 1 scoop Optimum Nutrition Chocolate Casein Protein
- 1 tbl pure cocoa (optional)
- 1 tbl flax seed oil (also optional)
Serve in a chilled glass. This shake is absolutely delicious and easy to make. Also, the resulting muscle growth and fat loss could be the missing link in your diet program.

Share the post "WildThrive: Non-toxic tick and mosquito repellent"
Bugs. They are a vital part of this wonderful land and we need them to keep our ecosystem going. However, mosquitoes and ticks can often be bad enough to prevent even a hardcore outdoor-enthusiast from going outside. Even worse, their bites can cause life-threatening illnesses.
Chemical companies have developed formulas such as DEET to deter these bugs, but at a detriment to Mother Nature and our own health. The wiki page for DEET mentions it causing seizures in some humans, and that it has been found to have slight toxicity to coldwater fish like rainbow trout and tilapia. I don't want that stuff on or near my body, nor do I want it hurting fish and game. Sure, it probably won't have much of an impact if I just use it occasionally, but in no way do I want to support companies that are producing harmful chemicals. Instead, use this safe bug repellent recipe made with essential oils to keep the bugs away. The smell of the oils actually prevents mosquitoes from being able to smell your scent, which is what normally attracts them.
Homemade tick and mosquito repellent recipe
In a spray bottle, combine:
- 5 drops peppermint oil
- 5 drops lavender oil
- 5 drops meleuca oil (Tea Tree oil)
- 1 ounce water
Spray on skin, hair and clothes before heading to the outdoors. If ticks are bad, be sure to heavily coat your ankles, waist line and any openings to your skin. Reapply every two hours.
Important Tips:
1. Only use certified therapeutic grade essential oil to ensure the oil is actually natural and safe. There are some fakes out there that can be more harmful than helpful. I prefer and trust doTERRA brand oils. (If you purchase doTERRA products using this link, I will receive a small commission that I can put in my johnboat fund, so thanks if you do!)
2. Although these essential oils are non-toxic, you should apply to a test area on your skin, to test if you will have a reaction to them.
3. I make small batches, because this mixture can lose effectiveness over time. To check freshness, just make sure it still has a strong scent. It will stay fresh longer if you use a dark colored spray bottle, and store in a cool place.
4. If you are submerged in water, the oils will lose effectiveness, so be sure to reapply.
Area Mosquito Repellent
ThermaCELL also makes an effective product for repelling mosquitoes that uses a synthetic copy of a substance found in chrysanthemum flowers (but won't help with ticks). I rely on ThermaCELL frequently during turkey season because it's easy to transport and doesn't require any reapplication. You simply turn on the appliance and it lasts for roughly four hours before it needs a replacement pad. I use this appliance when hunting and this lantern when camping.
If You Get Bit
If a mosquito or other biting insect bites you, apply lavender with a cotton swab to soothe itching and inflammation.
If you find a tick on you, apply peppermint oil with a cotton swab and the tick will unbury his head from your skin, allowing you to safely remove it.
Give these techniques a try and be sure to let me know how they work for you.

PULLMAN, Wash. – The Cougars were at the gates late and No. 3/3 Stanford was looking for a savior to drive upset-minded Washington State. Who else to turn to but national player of the year candidate Chiney Ogwumike, who matched her career high with 36 points while grabbing 17 rebounds as the Cardinal held off the Cougars, 77-69, Friday night in Pullman.
Ogwumike had answers each time the Cougars came close as Stanford improved to 22-1 overall and 11-0 in Pac-12 play while upping its all-time mark against the Cougars to 56-0. Washington State (12-11, 6-5 Pac-12) took a one-point lead at 55-54 with 9:05 to play, but Ogwumike immediately drew a foul and made a pair of free throws to start a 7-0 run. But the Cougars fought back again, tying the game at 61-61 with 5:34 remaining, however Ogwumike went to work inside and scored right away to re-establish the Cardinal lead. From there Stanford was able to score five straight and hold off the Cougars the rest of the way.
"Chiney is so awesome, she's incredible. She's a competitor and just puts her team on her back," said Setsuko Ishiyama Director of Women's Basketball Tara VanDerveer.
Washington State got as close as four at 72-68 after a Lia Galdeira jumper and Tia Presley free throw with 1:41 to play, but their shooting touch deserted them, as the Cougars went 0-for-5 from the field and just 1-for-6 from the line the rest of the way. For the night, Galdeira led the Cougars with 21 points while Presley scored 20, making the pair the first teammates to each score 20 points in a single game against the Cardinal since Keisha Hampton and Felicia Chester achieved the feat for DePaul on Dec. 16, 2010.
Ogwumike, Taylor Greenfield and Amber Orrange combined to go 5-for-6 from the line over the final 45 seconds to seal the win.
Greenfield enjoyed a strong night, scoring 11 points while posting career highs of nine rebounds and five assists, while Orrange scored 11 points with six rebounds and three assists. Freshman Karlie Samuelson scored nine points as both she and Greenfield went 3-for-4 from behind the arc, accounting for all six of Stanford's triples on the night.
After a slow start, it appeared as if Stanford was well on its way to having little trouble against the Cougars as a Greenfield triple made it 20-10 with 9:25 to go in the opening half. The lead remained at 10 with 4:57 left in the half but the Cardinal suddenly went cold. Washington State slowly crept closer, eventually getting to within two points on Presley's layup 1:28 before the break. Ogwumike would hit a 14-footer just before the halftime buzzer to end Stanford's drought of 4:57 and give the Cardinal a 28-24 lead.
Washington State would stay close with Stanford for much of the second half, until a 3-pointer from Samuelson and four straight points from Ogwumike got the Cardinal in front by nine at 50-41. But Galdeira would score eight points over Washington State's 14-4 run that would culminate with Dawnyelle Awa's triple that gave the Cougars their only lead of the night at 55-54."They spread people out and put it on the floor really well. They have great quickness with their guards," VanDerveer said, giving credit to the Cougars. "I would not take one thing away from what [Washington State] did tonight. They worked really hard, they were scrappy and had a great game."

A hearty fillet of fish, already a rare treat because of over-trawled oceans, will become even more infrequent in the future when global warming starts to reduce fish size, scientists say.
Researchers looked at computer models to see how warmer, and thus less oxygenated, seas affected more than 600 species of fish.
Compared to 2000, the maximum attainable body weight of these fish declined by between 14 and 24 per cent by 2050.
Fish inhabiting the Indian Ocean were the most affected, reducing by 24 per cent, followed by counterparts in the Atlantic (20 per cent) and then the Pacific (14 per cent), with tropical waters worst hit.
"It's a constant challenge for fish to get enough oxygen from water to grow, and the situation gets worse as fish get bigger," Daniel Pauly of the University of British Columbia in western Canada, who first raised the warming-and-growth link 30 years ago, said on Sunday.
"A warmer and less-oxygenated ocean, as predicted under climate change, would make it more difficult for bigger fish to get enough oxygen, which means they will stop growing more."
The investigation appears in the journal, Nature Climate Change.
The model used the so-called A2 scenario, which sees an average rise in global atmospheric - not sea - temperatures of 3.4C by 2100 compared to 2000.
Until recently, this would have been considered a pessimistic scenario, but many climatologists today say it is realistic in the light of a relentless rise in fossil-fuel emissions.
Under the A2 scenario, the sea bottom temperatures of the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern and Arctic Oceans would rise at average rates of between 0.012C and 0.037C per decade up to 2050.
As those oceans warm, their oxygen levels would also see slight but progressive declines, a measurement expressed in a unit called millimoles.
The average fall, per decade, would range from 0.1 millimoles per cubic metre in the Arctic to 1.1 millimoles per cubic metre in the Atlantic.
"Although the projected rate of change in environmental temperature and oxygen content appears to be small, the resulting changes in maximum body size are unexpectedly large," said the paper.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
by J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Chapter 17 Summary
How It All Goes Down
The Heir of Slytherin
- The Chamber is lined with columns in the shape of snakes.
- Against the back wall is a huge statue of a wizard.
- At the base of the statue is a "small, black-robed figure with flaming-red hair" (17.5).
- Ginny isn't dead, but she won't wake up.
(Click the infographic to download.)
- There is a black-haired boy leaning against a nearby pillar.
- It's Tom Riddle.
- Riddle tells Harry that he is a memory, preserved in a diary for over fifty years.
- Confused, Harry asks Riddle to help him get Ginny out of the Chamber.
- Harry tries to lift Ginny while Riddle picks up Harry's wand.
- Riddle tells Harry that he has been waiting for the chance to speak to Harry.
- Harry finally twigs to the fact that something is wrong.
- Riddle begins to explain.
- Ginny has been writing in Riddle's diary for months and months, spilling her secrets to Riddle.
- Riddle has been writing back to her, making friends with her, and slowly developing his power over her.
- As Riddle's power grows, he begins "feeding Miss Weasley a few of [his] secrets, to start pouring a little of [his] soul back into her" (17.45).
- Riddle uses Ginny to kill the roosters, paint threatening messages on the walls, and set the basilisk on four students and Mrs. Norris.
- Harry is absolutely horrified.
- Riddle continues: Ginny begins to suspect that the diary is responsible for her periods of lost memory and for the terrible things that are happening at the school.
- She throws the diary away.
- Luckily for Riddle, the next person to pick up the diary is Harry, the one person Riddle wants to meet more than anyone else.
- Before Riddle can really get to know Harry, Ginny steals the diary back.
- She won't let Harry be harmed by Riddle.
- Still, Riddle knows by now that Harry will do anything to rescue his friends.
- So Riddle forces Ginny to "write her own farewell on the wall" (17.64) and come down to the Chamber of Secrets to wait for Harry to arrive.
- She is growing weaker and weaker as Riddle takes physical form outside of the diary.
- Harry asks why Riddle cares about Harry at all.
- Ginny has told Riddle that it was Harry who brought down Voldemort eleven years ago.
- Riddle wants to know what's so special about Harry, since Voldemort was "the greatest wizard of all time" (17.66).
- Riddle is eager to know because he is Voldemort as a young man.
- Rearrange the letters in his name – Tom Marvolo Riddle – and you get "I am Lord Voldemort" (17.71).
- Harry tells Riddle he isn't the greatest wizard in the world; that wizard is Albus Dumbledore.
- As Harry says this, he hears sudden music: "It was eerie, spine-tingling, unearthly; it lifted the hair on Harry's scalp and made his heart feel as though it was swelling to twice its size" (17.81).
- The song is phoenix song.
- Fawkes has arrived, and he's carrying the Sorting Hat.
- Riddle laughs at Harry, that these are the great reinforcements Professor Dumbledore sends his defender.
- Harry doesn't care. At least he's no longer alone.
- He tells Riddle that he survived because his "common Muggle-born mother" (17.94) died to save him.
- Riddle is glad to hear that it was only lucky chance that saved Harry from Voldemort.
- Riddle finally calls the basilisk to come out and kill Harry.
(Click the infographic to download.)
- Harry sees a massive snake slithering out of the mouth of the statue at the end of the hall.
- Harry runs.
- Fawkes swoops in and tears out the snake's eyes.
- Maddened with pain, the snake continues to hunt Harry.
- Harry grabs the Sorting Hat and jams it onto his head. He begs for help.
- Something lands on Harry's head with a clunk.
- It's a sword.
- Riddle keeps egging the basilisk on to kill Harry.
- The basilisk strikes, but Harry is fast enough to bury the sword into the soft palate of its mouth.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Former Baltimore Ravens owner Art Modell has been hospitalized in Baltimore.
The team says the 87-year-old Modell is at Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Kevin Byrne, senior vice president of public and community relations for the team, did not know Modell's condition, but Cleveland television station WKYC reported that Modell's vital organs are failing.
Modell purchased the Cleveland Browns for $4 million in 1961 and moved the franchise to Baltimore in 1996. The move made him a hero in Baltimore but a pariah in Cleveland.
He sold a minority interest in the team to Steve Bisciotti in 2000, and in April 2004, Bisciotti completed purchase of the franchise. But Modell retained a 1 percent piece of the team and is listed in the current Ravens media guide as a minority owner.

This past Sunday, sounds of the baroque period filled Riverfront Park for the last time, marking the end of an era.
The Royal Fireworks Concert has been a staple of my Julys for a number of years now, and it's an event I thoroughly enjoy. Unfortunately, unless some major funding comes through, this year was the concert's last, marking the end of a 35-year tradition in Spokane.
Every year, I look forward to the fireworks, of course. But the music is surprisingly good, and given the history of the ensemble, it's a great night showcasing the importance of fine arts in Spokane. The firew...

Dogit Clean Disposable Dog Diapers
When leaks become an issue due to incontinence, excitable urination, females in heat and dogs recovering from lower body surgery, Dogit Clean Disposable Diapers are the solution to the problem.
One Response to "Dogit Clean Disposable Dog Diapers"
Jul 25. 2014
Can these be used on cats? Cats sometimes also have incontinence issues. Male purebred cats also have a need for stud pants. I began my retail site because cats are so overlooked in the pet supply world, and I'm finding the same thing on the wholesale side! Everything is dog-dog-dog, with cats added as an afterthought. The word "pet" is used interchangeably with "dog" – I'll be reading an article about a new "pet" product, only to find further in that it's only for dogs. Please, help us not waste our time by clearly telling those of us seeking cat products whether something is cat-safe/cat-friendly or not.

I'm planning to do some backups of my e-mails in my yahoo account.
I'm afraid to do it using Outlook or Thunderbird, and be "locked" to their formats. I know Thunderbird is Open Source, but I don't know if it's format specification is a standard one, and just because it's open source doesn't mean it would be easy to recover data in the future.
Does exist a standard format specification to e-mails downloaded from POP3 accounts, that I would be able to read/open without specifically opening the e-mails accounts?
Each file would be an e-mail, with metadata as data received, attachments, and such.

Authorities release the name of a Knox County man whose body was pulled from Barren River Lake over the weekend.
Rescue workers found the body of 58-year-old Billy R. Bright of Hinkle in Knox County, Ky., on Nov. 12, 2006. Rescuers had been searching for Bright since Nov. 11, 2006, when he was reported missing.
Authorities believe Bright had been hunting and returned to his boat. The boat capsized and Bright's body was found about 150 feet from where it sank. There's no word on what caused the boat to sink.
An autopsy on Bright's body is being performed in Louisville, Ky.

Recently, Detroit City Council President Pro-Tem George Cushingberry Jr. was involved in a traffic incident with the city's police department and now Detroit's Inspector General will investigate the matter.
Police say Cushingberry was pulled over about 10 p.m. Tuesday because he almost ran his car into officers, near Livernois and Northfield, who were in the area on an investigative detail. Cushingberry did not stop and a chase ensued.
When Cushingberry finally stopped, officers smelled marijuana and spotted an open intoxicant, police sources said.
Apparently another chase began when Cushingberry drove away again. Another car was called to help and after Cushingberry was stopped, he was belligerent and uncooperative. He then pulled out his City Council identification card.
Detroit Police chief James Craig says the officers then followed proper protocol by notifying a supervisor. The supervisor then let Cushingberry and his passenger go with a traffic ticket for failure to signal.
The two original officers were upset that the supervisor would not let them arrest Cushingberry and let police officials know, the supervisor is now under investigation.
Cushingberry has stated he was racially profiled and asked his fellow council members to forgive him if they were "embarrassed by the driving while black incident."
According to police sources, of the original two officers who encounterd Cushingberry, one was white and one was black.
The city's Inspector General is James Heath, the office was created in 2012 to investigate claims of waste, fraud, abuse or corruption in city government by elected and appointed officials and city employee's.
One man's opinion:
We are about to see if Detroit really wants to start changing it's image or if they are going to take the same old approach.
If the police account is correct, and I believe it will prove to be in this case, then Inspector General Heath should recommend that Cushingberry be removed from office and then he should forward the case to the Michigan State Police for an independent criminal investigation.
The evidence of open intoxicants and possession of marijuana are long gone but I believe there would be enough to charge Cushingberry with fleeing and eluding, a 2-year felony.
Cushingberry's use of the racial profiling card in this case also should infuriate African Americans. Racial profiling is used and it is wrong, but crying wolf only hurts the case to try to stop it. It is similar to a woman who falsely accuses a man of rape. She not only hurts the accused, but also all the woman who were sexually abused and are not believed. Most women abhor a false accuser like this. Cushingberry should be treated the same.
The police supervisor should also be held accountable for his actions, up to and including dismissal. When he arrived at the scene and the officers advised him of the situation, Cushingberry should have been immediately arrested and searched pursuant to that arrest. At that time there was also probable cause to search the vehicle, which under ordinary circumstances would have been done.

Tip is set for 7 p.m.
"It's just good to be back at home in front of your fans," said MSU coach Rick Ray, whose team is 1-4 following its trip to Maui. "I know our guys are looking forward to that."
The Bulldogs and Braves are meeting for the fifth time, with each team winning twice. The two teams first met in the 1979 NIT, with ASU claiming an 80-78 win in the opening round.
Their last meeting was in December of 1990, with Mississippi State claiming a 120-65 win. That point total ranks as the fourth highest in school history and the third-most at Humphrey Coliseum.
"They like to dribble-drive and penetrate," Ray said. "We're going to have to do a really good job of defending and rebounding."
Sophomore forward Roquez Johnson leads the Bulldogs in scoring at 15.8. He's also second in rebounding at 6.5, behind freshman forward Gavin Ware at 6.8.
In his last outing against Texas, Johnson totaled a team- and career-high 18 points.
"I've just got to continue to work hard and get better," he said.
Alcorn State enters the contest sporting a 2-4 record. The Braves are led in scoring by LeAntwan Luckett and Anthony Evans at 14.7 and 13.2 points, respectively.
In its last outing, ASU claimed a 69-65 overtime win against Samford where Luckett poured in 24 points.
After Tuesday, the Bulldogs are back on the road for a trip to Rhode Island to face Providence on Saturday in the SEC/Big East Challenge. Tip at the Dunkin' Donut Centers is set for 11:02 a.m. CT, and the game will be televised by ESPN2.

"We Always Swing"® Jazz Series presents
Joe Locke - Geoffrey Keezer Group w/ MU Concert Jazz Band
Photo Credit Marie Le Claire
Set I: MU Concert Jazz Band with Special Guests Joe Locke and Geoffrey Keezer
Set II: Joe Locke-Geoffrey Keezer Group
The season's Artists-in-Residence centers on a co-led band that successfully blends the vibraphone and piano as well as any duo on the planet. Leading the way is Joe Locke, one of the most respected and original vibraphonists; joining him is pianist Geoffrey Keezer who, though just beyond 40 years old, has been a first-call keyboardist for more than 20 years.
Locke's musical sensibility and attack areboth original yet they sonically recall both Milt Jackson's "fat" bluesy sound and Bobby Hutcherson's joyous, mellifluous, soulful and magical sound that's filled with elongated spacing and seemingly endless sustain. The result is astonishing. Keezer, meanwhile mentored in part with the late pianist James Williams – an apt development given that the Jazz Series' education program is so-named; these days, Keezer is one of the most technically and harmonically advanced pianists on the scene. The Eau Claire, Wis., native possesses total command of the piano. Together, Locke and Keezer – two mid-career veterans – form a formidable and musically exceptional combination.
Locke has been voted the #1 vibist in Downbeat's Critic's Poll (TDWR) and Brazil's International Jazz Poll. He has recorded more than 25 titles as a band leader; as either producer and/or sideman he appears on nearly 100 recordings. A self-taught improviser, Locke benefited from his early studies in classical percussion and composition at the Eastman School of Music. With all his recent projects Locke has completely transcended his past reputation as a fine post bop instrumentalist, demonstrating an even more complete musical picture that includes everything from melodic chamber jazz to intensely personal compositions that bridge the gap between post bop and a more lyrical contemporary style.
Keezer, at all of 18 years old, became a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. In the early 1990s he was a member of the Contemporary Piano Ensemble that featured fellow pianists Williams, Harold Mabern, Mulgrew Miller and Donald Brown in addition to bassist Christian McBride and drummer Tony Reedus. Since heading out on his own he has issued titles with regularity while simultaneously working with others of equal stature. Here's a sample: His 1998 release, Turn Up The Quiet, featured vocalist Diana Krall, Joshua Redman and McBride; his partnership with world renowned classical artist Barbara Hendricks as musical director-arranger produced It's Wonderful — A Tribute to George Gershwin. One of his releases, Sublime: Honoring the Music of Hank Jones, featured a set of piano duets with Kenny Barron, Chick Corea, Benny Green and a re-visit with Miller, while another, Wildcrafted, is a live trio effort. Keezer received GRAMMY nominations in both 2009 and 2010 for still two more titles.
The first Locke-Keezer release, Live in Seattle (Origin), dates to the 2005 Ballard Jazz Festival. Their latest, issued just recently on the Motéma label as the Joe Locke-Geoffrey Keezer Group, is Signing. The well-received quartet disc also includes bassist Mike Pope and drummer Terreon Gully, both who will participate here.
During their stay as 2012/2013 Artists-in-Residence Locke and Keezer will work with MU Jazz Studies students. The culmination of residency will be a shared performance – as Locke and Keezer serve as special guests with MU's top jazz band delivering a sterling set of both original and originally arranged music under the direction of Arthur White.
Audio and Video
"Beautiful playing! I love your improvised pianisms together with your wonderful compositions. Very inspiring!" --
- Chick Corea on Keezer
"The special hook-up between vibraphonist Joe Locke and pianist Geoffrey Keezer is based on shared assets like chops, listening skills and a gift for communicating the joy of making music. [...] Locke/Keezer can make complex material sound suave and tricky time signatures flow."

JACKSON — Gov. Haley Barbour has signed legislation giving payday lending companies at least three more years to do business in Mississippi, but making changes to their operations.
The bill was signed Thursday and becomes law on Jan. 1.
Some laws come up for review every few years. Opponents of payday lending had lobbied lawmakers to let that industry's law expire next year.
Most payday lenders now write 14-day loans.
The new law gives consumers up to 30 days to repay loans and caps fees at $20 for every $100 borrowed, up to $250. For loans of $251 to $500, the fee will be $21.95 per $100.
Lawmakers say extending the time to repay loans reduces the annual percentage rate for customers.
The bill is House Bill 455.


text: Journalist and director of USC's Annenberg Digital News, Marc Cooper, makes a case in today's LA Times for the next Supreme Court Justice to be an atheist. How about some representation for the 1 in 6 Americans who claim no faith? he asks. Alas, even those tangentially following the Obama administration's hob-knobs with religious groups would know how radical Cooper sounds. I would like to think that the piece made some think harder about the religious affiliation of Supreme Court justices, but I doubt it.

Neighbors Movie: Edgy and Comedic
June 4, 2014
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.
Email This Story
Grade – B+
With a leading cast of Zac Efron, Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne, Neighbors was likely to be a success. And to top it off, Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse appear as frat bros. The movie felt like a smash up of Animal House, The Hangover, This Is The End and pretty much any other movie involving gratuitous amounts of drinking and partying. So if you didn't think any of those were funny or have not been in love with Zac Efron since High School Musical, then watch something else.
The plot revolves around an escalating feud between a wannabe hip couple with a newborn baby and their new neighbors, a fraternity. One could easily walk into the movie halfway through and fully understand and enjoy it. Seth Rogen, the husband, and Rose Byrne, the wife, struggle to accept their new domestic life and leave the partying days behind. At first, the couple develops a neighborly relationship with the frat bros, but this soon disintegrates into chaos, and a hilarious prank war between the two parties ensues. Some jokes may have gone a little too far, oftentimes shocking the audience, and the film does not fail to deliver in the laughter department.
Light, funny and surprising at times, Neighbors is a flick worth seeing. Even those who find the movie predictable or unfunny can at the very least appreciate Zac Efron's and Dave Franco's flawlessness.

According to the The Wall Street Journal on Sunday, it has been confirmed by Warner Brothers President of Worldwide Production Greg Silverman that "Man of Steel's" Zack Snyder will be directing the "Justice League" movie project. It's also been confirmed that a script is in the works and Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, and Gal Galdot will be returning for the DC Comics team up.
At this time, there is no release date, however one cannot expect the film to be released before 2018 which puts this two years after "Batman vs. Superman". Also, Silverman stated the following, "It will be a further expansion of this universe. Superman vs Batman' will lead into 'Justice League". Nothing was mentioned in regards to other characters in the "Justice League Film", however, Broadway actor Ray Fisher has been cast as Cyborg in the DC Cinematic Universe.
It is known that Aquaman, Flash, and Green Latern are currently members of the "Justice League" comic books. Ryan Reynolds appeared as Kyle Rayner in a previously released "Green Latern" film, which didn't do very well at the box office. However, there was a "Green Latern" film outside of the one that was already released that was in the works and was to be directed by George Miller of the "Mad Max" realm, but was quickly scuttled in 2008. Also, another big box office flop was DC's "Jonah Hex" starring "Goonies" Josh Brolin, John Malkovich of "Being John Malkovich", and the upcoming "Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles" Megan Fox.
It seems that DC is trying to get competitive with the Marvel Cinematic Universe by creating their own and writer David S. Goyer mentioned he would like a cohesive universe, but mentioned that it's just too early and doesn't think anyone should try to emulate Marvel Studios' methods.
"Batman vs. Superman" opens in theaters come May 6, 2016.

Panasonic's wafer-thin prototype leaves HD television in the shade, but will anyone but the super-rich be willing to pay for it?

So, is it worth the £10,000 price tag?
That's the question I pondered as I stood in the crowd gathered around Panasonic's Ultra HD 4k OLED TV.
A burly security guard was stationed to one side, protecting the thoroughly sexy prototype from sticky fingers with his glares.
A small (yet probably electrified) fence, added to the security.
There is a very noticeable difference picture quality from ordinary HD; colours were vivid, the blacks deep, and the detail crisper than refried bacon.
In fact, it's only when you see Ultra HD that you realise just how much HD doesn't reproduce.
The videos it displayed - a rather esoteric mix of killer whales and muscular men doing handstands - were on a rather speedy loop yet those watching simply couldn't drag themselves away.
It's a game-changer, that's certain. But the technology is expensive, and it's likely to be a number of years before 4k becomes as ubiquitous as HD.
But HD is itself an impressive format. The demand for even the startling improvement that Ultra HD provides is not there just yet.
So, is it worth it? I imagine that several Russian oligarchs will have already written a cheque.
The Panasonic 4k 56-incher will certainly stand up well next to their Picassos and Vettrianos.
But whilst I admire the technological nous I'll be keeping my hand in my pocket.
Ten grand for a telly? Do behave.

Joke van den Berg was the past years active as a painter, printer (lithographs) and photographer. Her persistent need to travel is reflected in her work of theme- and formstudies.Through her photographs she visualizes her endeavors: departing from the secure hotel room, through the street-life, finishing at a glimpse of the world of the artist herself.
