Speaking My Mind: Should New Hampshire keep the first-in-the-nation primary?
Dorothy Nazarian — New Hampshire's historical position of first in the nation primary should be fought for and held on…it's not a partisan issue to be debated, but a matter of principle. In this heightened atmosphere of degrading political discourse, we should not forfeit what has been an accepted, acknowledged, and constitutionally required (NH Const.) position held by New Hampshire.
Rebecca Buccini — Do you consider your state a good cross section of the U.S.? If not, why is primary held in New Hampshire? Don't know history. Second thought, why not New Hampshire? It's as good a place as any even though your weather is not always so wonderful when it is held.
Bruce Berry — I believe the expression is…"as goes New Hampshire, so goes the nation." The voters of New Hampshire are true, honest, and of high moral fiber. Let's keep this tradition and dump the electoral college instead.
Richard Gillard — Absolutely. It is a huge point of recognition for the State of New Hampshire. Big for tourist recognition with all the media swarming over the state and each night on the major networks NH gets a lot of free publicity. While it is small, it is mighty in that many candidates fall out as a result of the primary. It has huge publicity value and an economic boon for the State. Besides, it is a lot of fun to watch.
Betty Hale — Somebody has to go first! Why not "the shire"! NH is more balanced than ever in terms of representing the rest of the country. We love the tradition of our first primary — and so does most of the country.
Mel Allen — In a political landscape where big money buys slick tv ads, New Hampshire is an exception. Here candidates cannot rely solely on ads and packaging — they actually have to face people every day, in living rooms, and diners, and in schools. They can't duck questions. Their strengthe and weakness are revealed. The nation would lose if New Hampshire lost her role as first in the nation.
Ralph Worthington — The first time I ever voted I was teaching at Goffstown High School in New Hampshire. It was thrilling to me that NH had the nation's first primary. I hope that it will continue that way.
Jewel McKenzie — The Northeast is steeped in history and well-known for speaking their mind. When NH speaks the US listens…why is that? Because New Englanders are grounded in the value of "…for the people, by the people." It's a reminder to the rest of the nation what we fought for in the beginning…a fair voice in the governing of our nation, stated simply by the votes of of the people from a state that declares "Live Free of Die." Don't take that away from our citizens!
Debbie Despres — Just because it has "always been" is not necessarily a good reason to keep the status quo. Why not let Vermont or Maine or some other state benefit from the attention of the first in the nation primary?
JulieAnn Perleoni — Everyone knows that New England has the highest rate of educated people. Besides, New Englanders are terrific judges of character and morality, skeptics at heart, New Hampshire should remain the first state in the nation for the primary.
Rachel Kipka — New Hampshire, for many years, has indicated the national "attitude" towards the candidates for our nation. I hope we keep it that way.
Norman Tellier — Definitely YES — I believe in the old adage as New Hampshire so goes the country.
TJ Meenan — Yes, make sure you keep it nice and early, but be sure and lean to the right when you do! Support our troops!
Brian Gibb — Since we're the first in the state, I think we should keep our primaries, as is, first. Why change?
Rake Morgan — It must have been 20 years ago that I listened to a "Saturday Night Live" news commentator rant about New Hampshire's first-in-the-nation primary status. To paraphrase, he wondered why the fate of the Union should be left to a bunch of "syrup-sucking squirrel watchers?" It was a good question. And very funny. I think I rolled off the sofa laughing so hard that I hurt my stomach.

4-GW Tata Mundra Coal Plant Is A Test Of The World Bank's Stated Commitment To Address Climate
Nicole Ghio, via the Sierra Club
When Dr. Jim Yong Kim took over as President of the World Bank, there was hope amongst health advocates and environmentalists that, given his background, the Bank would reevaluate its support for deadly fossil fuel projects. Dr. Kim's assertion that a new World Bank report on global warming should "shock us into action" is a step in the right direction.
Now, however, he has an opportunity to back this rhetoric with concrete action as the International Finance Corporation (IFC) reviews the social and environmental impacts of its $450 million loan for the enormous four-gigawatt Tata Mundra coal plant in Gujarat, India.
This review is an important step towards rectifying the impact the project has had on the 10,000 local villagers who rely on the land and water the plant is destroying. Dust and ash from the project is contaminating fish and salt flats, while livestock that used to roam freely can no longer access the commons for grazing. And both villagers and animals are forced to breathe air and drink water contaminated by toxic pollution. All of these are impacts from just Tata Mundra. The sad reality is cumulative impacts are much larger, as it is sited right next to the even bigger 4,620 MW Adani coal plant.
Thousands have been displaced, and those who have stayed are face drastic health and economic risks, all for electricity that they will never be able to afford (PDF). That's because Tata Corporation dramatically lowballed the price they would pay for imported coal, and used this estimate to claim they could provide power at below-market rate in order to secure approval from the Indian government and funding from the IFC. Then, after construction started, they went back to the government, acknowledged that the project would run at a 270% annual loss, and demanded that they be allowed to raise rates on average citizens, destroying any notion that the project would ever help provide energy access for the poor.
This situation is hardly unique. Across India, funding for coal projects is drying up as lenders realize that the projects are expensive, unreliable, and likely to go bankrupt.
The IFC approved funding for the project despite the clear warning signs, once again acquiescing to the long standing belief that coal is cheap, and its impacts on local communities and the environment should therefore be ignored. While the review is technically independent, how the World Bank responds to the recommendations lies entirely at Dr. Kim's feet. He will have an opportunity to take back the rubber stamp and help make right any violations the CAO finds. His decision on Tata Mundra will be a referendum on his ability to protect the health and environment of those impacted by the World Bank. We're hoping he lives up to his reputation.

One Response to 4-GW Tata Mundra Coal Plant Is A Test Of The World Bank's Stated Commitment To Address Climate
Canceling that loan is a no brainer. India has the same problem as the US in having to deal with their own utility and construction cartels. These groups are similar to our own fossil fuel companies in using bribery and influence peddling to create monopolies. In this case, they are poisoning the air and spewing CO2 on a vast scale.
I don't know why groups like Tata should be difficult for WB to stand up to, especially since global warming hazards were so clearly laid out in their own reports. If they OK this plant, why have a World Bank? They would deserve to be disbanded.

A particularly rapid onset of pathological gambling (PG-onset) through the use of gambling machines has been widely alluded to, but this is the first study to empirically examine the phenomenon. This study compared the latency of PG-onset in those who gambled primarily on machines, compared to those who gambled primarily on more "traditional" forms of gambling at PG-onset. Subjects were 44 adult pathological gamblers (PGs) seeking outpatient treatment in Rhode Island (17 females; mean age = 46.9). Subjects completed questionnaires and a diagnostic interview including a complete history of gambling activities and the course of PG. The "latency" of PG-onset was defined as the time (in years) elapsed between the age of regular involvement in the primary form of gambling and the age at which DSM-IV criteria were first met. "Machine" PGs (n = 25) had a significantly shorter latency of onset than did "traditional" PGs (1.08 years vs. 3.58 years). Females and machine PGs had a significantly older age of onset, but gender was not associated with latency of PG-onset. Lifetime comorbidity of either substance use disorders (SUDS) or depressive disorders (DDS) was also not associated with the latency of PG-onset. The results of the current study suggest that intrapersonal variables such as gender and comorbid disorders do not generally affect the speed with which people develop PG. Rather, the social, environmental, and stimulus features of mechanized gambling are implicated. Prospective longitudinal studies on the onset and course of PG are needed, as well as more basic research on the features of machine gambling that may contribute to rapid onset.

My husband and I stayed at the Garden Hotel South Beach in February, a return trip after staying there in March of 2013. We were combining a stay in Miami with a business trip elsewhere in Florida, and unfortunately the boat show was in town during the only time we had to spend there and prices were sky-high. We paid $359 a night Feb. 14-16 and $199 on Feb. 17, the night the boat show left! The reasons we returned are the location, a couple of blocks from the beach and right in the middle of the deco district so we could walk to everything; the funky deco-ness of the small but clean and cheerful rooms; and the pool, lounging and breakfast area right on Washington Street. Also, during a normal, non-boat-show week, the price is under $200. That said, this property is undergoing massive renovation. It consists of 4 small buildings that operate as one hotel (it used to be the Wyndham until last year). Last March, we stayed at the building farthest to the north, while everything else was being worked on. We pretty much assumed construction would be done by now. Don't assume! It turns out that the owner is trying to persuade the historic district to let an additional floor be added to the back of a couple of the buildings; that approval has taken forever and in order to do it the foundations have to be shored up, one of the employees explained. The buildings are on the Deco District historic tour; the tour explains what's going on and goes inside the Coral Building, where (free) breakfast is served, and indeed it is made of coral. Last year the pool was open; this year it was closed and in the construction area. If a pool is critical, call ahead. But the beach is very close and the hotel provides towels and chairs. There are chaise longues and tables and chairs in the lounging area in front of the hotel, and we sat out there and read a couple of times. If you have a car, you can park it at a public garage about a block away for about $20 a night. It's my opinion that the hotel tries to isolate its guests from the construction, at least on the weekend; we weren't bothered by any noise. The employees are friendly and there are always free apples and oranges in the lobby. One caveat: They charged us over and above what we had agreed to through booking.com, accidentally charging us $359 instead of $199 for the final night. When I called about this the day after we left, they said they'd check on it and call me back, which they never did. I called a week later and they refunded the extra charge to my credit card, supposedly. All in all, this place is going to be awesome when and if it ever gets done, but then I probably won't be able to afford it!

Individualized Major
An individualized major offers highly motivated and self-directed students an opportunity to develop a program of study tailored to meet their special talents, academic interests and career goals. An individualized major is designed for a student who is able to document the absence of an existing major that satisfactorily meets his/her specific educational and professional objectives. A student may design an individualized major for a first or second major. However, those seeking a second major via this process may not duplicate any courses with his/her first major.
Individualized majors are designed by students in conjunction with their academic advisor, at least one other faculty sponsor, and a faculty member designated by the Faculty Curriculum Committee. The first two members of this individualized major committee should reflect the student's educational objectives and career interests. An academic department must also sponsor the proposal.
Requirements for Applying for an Individualized Major
- Completed at least one full semester of college work at Franklin College.
- Minimum GPA of 2.75 prior to submitting an application.
- Class level less than junior status (< 58 credit hours). Students with junior status (58-90 hours completed) may petition the Academic Rules Committee for an exception to the academic policy. Seniors are ineligible to apply for an individualized major. Academic Rules Committee petitions are located in the Academic Records Office.

BANGKOK — The complex network of flood defenses erected to shield Thailand's capital from the country's worst floods in nearly 60 years was put to the test Saturday as coastal high tides hit their peak. No major breaches were immediately reported.
Fear gripped Bangkok early in the day as tides along the Gulf of Thailand crested at about 9 a.m. and pushed the city's main waterway, the Chao Phraya river, to its brink. Overflows so far have lightly inundated riverside streets from Chinatown to the famed Temple of the Emerald Buddha.
But the white-walled royal Grand Palace was dry, less than 24 hours after being ringed by ankle-deep water, and the landmark remained open to tourists. Many visitors carried parasols to protect themselves from the blistering sunshine.
Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said in her weekly radio address that floodwaters that had wreaked havoc to provinces north of Bangkok in the last several weeks had started to recede, and she urged citizens to let the crisis take its course.
"We have the good news that the situation in the central region has improved as runoff water gradually decreased," she said. "I thank people and urge them to be more patient in case this weekend is significant because of the high tide."
She also said that the government had implemented a plan to accelerate the drainage rate and that water in the greater Bangkok area should recede by the first week of November.
Meanwhile, the streets of downtown Bangkok — the country's financial heart — were bone-dry and bustling with taxis, restaurant-goers and tourists snapping pictures. But the city remained in peril, as high tides along the gulf were expected to crest again late in the day, threatening to obstruct the flood runoff from the north. The government also is worried that major barriers and dikes could break.
Also Saturday, the government's Flood Relief Operations Center moved its headquarters out of Don Muang airport after officials conceded that surrounding floodwaters, as well as interruptions of power and water supplies, had become too onerous. The center was relocating to a government building south of the airport, which is used mostly for domestic flights and stopped its regular operations this week after water broke through protective barriers.
The city's main international gateway, Suvarnabhumi airport, remained open.
On Friday, saffron-robed monks and soldiers piled sandbags outside the capital's most treasured temples and palaces as the Chao Phraya swelled precariously beyond its banks. Most of the water receded at low tide, but worried Bangkokians were buying up bright orange lifejackets and inflatable boats, fearing the worst is yet to come.
"You have to prepare," said Fon Kanokporn, a banker who bought a rubber boat from a store that had several hanging from trees out front as advertisements.
Employees at the shop said they had sold well over 3,000 boats in the last week. The brisk business is a measure of the fear gripping Bangkok and a reflection of the tragedy of neighboring provinces that have been submerged for weeks. Several buyers said they needed boats because their submerged homes outside the capital were no longer accessible by road.
Three months of relentless monsoon rains have caused the worst flooding in Thailand in more than half a century, triggering a national crisis that has overwhelmed Yingluck's government.
The water has crept from the central plains south toward the Gulf of Thailand for weeks, engulfing a third of the country and killing nearly 400 people and displacing 110,000 more. Now, Bangkok is in the way — surrounded by behemoth pools of water flowing around and through the city via a complex network of canals and rivers.

RWE Supply & Trading Expects Loss to Widen in 2012 on Gas Cost
RWE Supply & Trading GmbH, a unit of Germany's second-biggest utility, expects its operating loss to increase further this year after rising crude prices boosted the cost of oil-linked natural-gas costs in 2011.
The unit, based in Essen, had a loss of 800 million euros ($1.05 billion) in the 12 months through December, compared with a shortfall of 21 million for 2010, parent company RWE AG said today in its annual report.
RWE Supply & Trading buys gas in long-term contracts linked to oil prices from suppliers including Statoil ASA and OAO Gazprom, the world's biggest producer of the fuel. The average price of Brent crude rose 38 percent last year to a record $110.91 a barrel on London's ICE Futures Europe Exchange.
"RWE Supply & Trading is the bad bank for the gas business," Leonhard Birnbaum, the company's chief commercial officer, said today in Essen. "Everything on the contract side that's not forwarded to the market ends up as a negative result with Supply & Trading, and not in other parts of the group, so Supply & Trading suffers a bit for the overall situation."
The unit expects another operating loss this year, which will be "much more significant than in 2011," RWE said.
"Prices linked to the oil market for purchasing gas for 2012 will continue to be much higher than those realizable when the gas is re-sold on the market," it said.
The company's energy trading result was "unusually weak" last year and it expects "a much improved performance" in 2012, RWE said, without disclosing details.
Proprietary Trading
The proprietary trading business did not reach the result of the year-earlier period "because individual trading strategies have proven wrong in the market because of event risks such as the crisis in North Africa" or the nuclear disaster in Japan last March, Birnbaum said. The trading result, measured in gross margin, was still positive, he said.
For comparison, profit last year at Electricite de France SA's London-based unit EDF Trading Ltd. climbed 7.2 percent last year. Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization for the unit rose to 673 million euros last year from 628 million euros in 2010 because of short-term optimization of EDF's power generation fleet in France, it said in presentation slides posted on its website on Feb. 16.
EON AG, Germany's biggest utility, will publish results for its EON Energy Trading SE unit on March 14.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Sunday it is necessary for his Liberal Democratic Party to discuss "in a respectful manner" with its coalition partner New Komeito his proposal to revise Article 96 of the Constitution.
Abe's remark to reporters apparently reflects his consideration for the coalition partner, which remains cautious about the revision to make it easier to rewrite the Constitution.
"Public debates over the issue have not deepened yet, and we have not yet gained sufficient support," Abe also said.
Article 96 states that any initiative to revise the Constitution must be backed by at least two-thirds of the members of each house of parliament, before an "affirmative vote of a majority of all votes cast" in a referendum.
The LDP plans to push the change to Article 96 as part of its pledges for the upper house election to be held this summer.
Abe attended a ceremony at Tokyo Dome on Sunday, wearing a Yomiuri Giants uniform with the number 96, before the professional baseball game between the Giants and the Hiroshima Carp.
The game followed the award ceremony for former Yomiuri manager Shigeo Nagashima and former major leaguer Hideki Matsui, both of whom played for the Giants and received the People's Honor Award.
Asked by reporters if his uniform number is related to his proposal for revising Article 96, a smiling Abe said, "It is because I am the 96th prime minister."

This is a weird issue, I've got a Lenovo laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise. Whenever I type the word mount or account as I hit the n it beeps.
I've tried other similar words, sprout, tout etc but they don't trigger the beep.
When I was running Linux on the machine I noticed that occasionally the n wouldn't appear when I typed it. I assumed this was due to me not hitting the key in the right way to trigger it but I guess it could be the same issue as it was usually when I was typing mount that I noticed it.
No other keys are stuck and it is doing it in various apps so not just one particular one. Any ideas what it could be?

Very good product indeed for me. Economical and leaves my hair in very good condition. Will use again.
This doesn't really leave my hair soft and I felt like it left residue, but it's not a bad product.
Still a little heavy for oily hair, even when washed just once a week to reduce sebum production. Will try a different product next time
Good quality conditioner but not overly keen on the smell.
This is the best conditioner I've found to date! I have a eczema and a sensitive scalp. This conditioner not only makes my hair smell much better but it also stops my hair looking greasy quickly and feels great!
Brill, very nourishing.
First time using this. It's great. Feels fresh on my scalp and contains no nasties
First time used this product and so far it`s helping

The Florida Credit Counseling Act: Protections for Consumers
The Florida Credit Counseling Act aims to protect consumers from unscrupulous credit counseling and debt management services.
The Credit Counseling Act was enacted to protect consumers using credit counseling services and debt management services from paying exorbitant fees or becoming victims of fraud or unfair business practices. The act severely limits the fees that these services can charge and allows customers to recover damages if the law is violated. The law applies to companies engaging in transactions with Florida residents without regard to the location of the counseling service or the debt management business.
(For more articles on consumer protection laws in Florida, visit our Florida Debt Management Center.)
Businesses Covered by the Act
The act covers businesses that fit the definition of a credit counseling organization. There are exceptions but generally two types of businesses fall into this category.
Credit counseling services provide confidential counseling regarding money management, debt reduction, and financial education. (For tips on avoiding credit counseling scams, see Choosing a Credit Counseling Agency.)
Debt management services work with debtors and their creditors to develop plans to pay unsecured debts. Typically the debtor pays money to the debt management service each month, and the service disburses it to creditors. The service charges a fee to the debtor, and may get a creditor to reduce the interest rate, waive fees, or accept less than what is due. (Unfortunately, many debt management services are scams. To learn more, see Debt Management Plans.)
Fee Limits
The act imposes limits on the amounts that can be charged by credit counseling organizations that provide services to Florida residents.
Limits on credit counseling fees. Credit counseling services can charge up to $50 for the original set up and may charge for additional consultation sessions up to a total of $120 per year.
Limits on debt management fees. Charges for debt management services may not exceed the greater of $35 or 7.5% of the debt per month. A reasonable and separate charge or fee for insufficient funds is also allowed.
Financial Reporting Requirements
Debt management services are also required to undergo an annual audit and maintain insurance coverage. Both the audit report and the insurance policy must be available for public inspection.
Disbursement Rules for Debt Management
Under the law, debt management services must:
- disburse all money collected, less allowable fees, within 30 days of collection, and
- maintain a trust account for collection and disbursement of debtor funds, separate from the company's operating account.
Businesses That Are Not Covered by the Act
Certain businesses which provide debt or credit related services limited to debts owed to that particular business or which are highly regulated by other state or federal agencies are not covered by the act. These include:
- attorneys providing credit counseling or debt management services as part of their law practice
- persons negotiating the settlement of debt due to themselves
- the Federal National Mortgage Association
- the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation
- the Florida Housing Finance Corporation
- banking entities supervised by federal or state banking regulators
- consumer reporting agencies, and
- subsidiaries or affiliates of bank holding companies.
Penalties and Civil Remedies
A business that violates the act may face criminal penalties, civil fines, and lawsuits by consumers.
Criminal penalties. Violations of the Credit Counseling Act are third degree felonies, punishable by imprisonment up to five years and fines of up to $5,000 per violation.
State fines. The state can assess civil penalties up to $10,000 per each wilfull violation.
Consumers can bring lawsuits. Consumers have an independent right of to sue the violator directly. Violations are deemed to be unfair and deceptive trade practices. Consumers can sue for actual damages incurred but not less than the amount paid to the credit counseling agency plus attorneys' fees and costs.

There are several errors in the CSS.
On line 166,
color: #CCA329; !important should be
color: #CCA329 !important; (the semicolon should be after
!important). There is also an unnecessary asterisk on line 22.
There are also several places where there is an unnecessary space between a colon and the psuedo-class. E.g.
: visited instead of
:visited. This may work in some browsers, I don't know, but it gives errors in FireFox 18, causing those sections to be ignored. They are on the following lines: 52, 53, 54, 58, 116, 117, 121, 122, 183, 184, 190, 191, 233, 250, 251, 258, 259, 273, 278.
There is also a block that is commented out, and should probably just be removed, unless those images are going to be included with the plugin, in which case the styles should be modified to point to the path of the included images. (on lines 142-152)
Other than that, great plugin!

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Perfectly timed for Halloween, fan-trailer editor extraordinaire Alex Luthor has debuted a tension-filled teaser for an imagined Marvel Zombies film.
He culls from the expected Marvel Studios, Sony Pictures and Fox sources, of course, but reaches well beyond those to World War Z, 28 Days Later, Brothers (surprise Tobey Maguire cameo!), and some I don't recognize. If you don't blink, you'll even catch a glimpse of The Punisher. Or at least a Punisher.
George A. Romero's not-so-secret Marvel project appears to be lumbering toward a fall debut.
As part of its presentation on Friday to the annual meeting of ComicsPRO, the direct-market trade organization, the publisher released a blood-spattered "Marvel of the Dead" teaser (below) that could only be for the comic the horror legend revealed four months ago.
"I'm writing it now, but its plot is a secret," the filmmaker said in October. Prodded for details, he added, "Well, I can tell you it won't involve any of their on-going characters, there will be no superheroes. But it will involve zombies!"
Next March, the Marvel Zombies will rise once again, and this time they're infecting the Squadron Supreme.
Courtesy of our friends at Marvel Comics, we're pleased to bring you the first look at Marvel Zombies Supreme, a five-issue series by writer Frank Marraffino (who wrote the Haunted Tank miniseries for Vertigo a couple years back) and the art team of Fernando Blanco, Jason Paz and Chris Chuckry. Michael Komarck provides the covers.
The story revolves around Jill Harper and her "super-crisis special-ops unit," who investigate an underground research facility where a new virulent zombie strain has infected the Squadron Supreme. It's up to Harper and her crew to keep the zombies from escaping the facility to devour the rest of the planet.
First launched in 2005, the Marvel Zombies series of miniseries have shown us what happens when you mix superheroes and zombies — it usually ends badly for the heroes and the people they protect. The original series featured a decimated Earth-2149, which was overrun by zombie versions of Spider-Man, Wolverine and other Marvel heroes. The zombies have gone on to appear in the regular Marvel (616) universe, in a crossover with Dynamite's Army of Darkness movie adaptation and even in a Spider-Ham one-shot.
Check out the full solicitation info and the cover to the second issue, also by Komarck, after the jump.
Marvel announced today that they are bringing Marvel Zombies back from the dead one more time with a fifth mini-series, by writer Fred Van Lente and artist Kano.
"What I've tried to do ever since they gave me the Zombies assignment was to do something different every time," Van Lente told Marvel.com. "Folks who read [MARVEL ZOMBIES 4] know that at the end Jack Russell, Werewolf by Night, was infested with the zombie virus. Morbius the Living Vampire wants to cure his friend and in order to do that he needs to somehow figure out a way to unlock a cure for zombie-ism. He recruits his old pal Machine Man from MARVEL ZOMBIES 3, who is back and is again the star of the series, and sends him across the multiverse to take samples from different kinds of zombies."
Van Lente says Machine Man and a mystery companion will encounter zombies in places like Camelot, the Old West and Killraven's War of the Worlds. The five-issue series kicks off in April.
Writing for Publishers Weekly, Stefan Dziemianowicz examines the lurching and lumbering rise of zombie fiction, from World War Z and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies to The Walking Dead and Marvel Zombies.
Time magazine has even gone so far as to declare that "Zombies Are the New Vampires," which probably leaves fans of True Blood/The Southern Vampire Mysteries and Twilight scratching their heads (or sharpening their fangs).
So what's to blame for this most recent resurgence of the walking dead (lower-case)? As with so many cultural trends of the past several years, the bony finger points to 9/11 which, Dziemianowicz writes, transformed the zombie into "a monster for our time."
Of course, it's not all zombies, zombies, zombies (although some days it does seem that way). Quirk Books, the publisher behind the hit Pride and Prejudice and Zombies — the Jane Austen mashup — already have moved on to a new menace: sea monsters.
Yesterday the company announced it will release Sense, Sensibility and Sea Monsters in September. Co-authored by Ben H. Winters, the next book in the series will include "a giant rampaging mutant lobster," "octopi with glittering tentacles" and, of course, pirates. (You can view a trailer for the book here.)
This past weekend Philadelphia welcomed Wizard World, while Charlotte hosted HeroesCon. Two East Coast conventions, separated by more than 500 miles and a couple of states. If you were away from your computer, then you may have missed some of the announcements that sprang from both venues:
• For years people have been asking for an "iTunes for comics." Well, it looks like we might actually get one. Rantz Hoseley's Longbox will be a free download available later this year for PC, Macs and Linux. Comics can be download for a suggested price point of $.99 per issue, with the potential for block and subscription pricing. BOOM! and Top Cow have already signed on.
• Marvel had a lot of announcements at the show. Spinning out of the Uncanny X-Men/Dark Avengers crossover that kicks off any day now will be a series of one-shots that fall under the heading of Dark Reign: The List. Basically Norman Osbourn starts making a list of everyone standing in his way who he needs to do dirty, nasty things to.
The eight one shots and the creators working on them are:
Dark Reign: The List – Daredevil by Andy Diggle and Billy Tan
Dark Reign: The List – Wolverine by Jason Aaron and Esad Ribic
Dark Reign: The List – Hulk by Greg Pak and Ben Oliver
Dark Reign: The List – Amazing Spider-Man by Dan Slott and Adam Kubert
Dark Reign: The List – Avengers by Brian Bendis and Marko Djurdjevic
Dark Reign: The List – Uncanny X-Men by Matt Fraction and Alan Davis
Dark Reign: The List – Secret Warriors by Jonathan Hickman and Ed McGuiness
Dark Reign: The List – Punisher by Rick Remender and John Romita Jr.
The project was announced at around the same time both in Philadelphia and in Charlotte. For more info, check out CBR's interviews with Bendis, Fraction and Remender, as well as Pak, Hickman and Aaron. Also, Aaron talks a little bit about his Wolverine one-shot on his blog; it will feature both Marvel Boy and Fantomex, as well as a new Weapon XVI.

Skip to comments.Ohio McDonald's gives voting advice in paychecks
Posted on 10/29/2010 5:09:06 PM PDT by B4Ranch
COLUMBUS, Ohio A handful of McDonald's employees in northeastern Ohio received handbills in their most recent paychecks suggesting they vote for three Republican candidates.
"If the right people are elected we will be able to continue with raises and benefits at or above our present levels," the insert said. "If others are elected we will not." >P> The fast food chain's corporate headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill., quickly condemned the action by Canton franchisee Paul Siegfried, saying it violated company policy. Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, the Democratic elections chief, said she was launching an investigation because the action appeared to violate Ohio election laws.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
Why is this wrong. Is this McDonald's a non-profit that is legally barred from doing this.
Hey, wait a minute. Only Democrats are allowed to do that.
How dare this employer look out for the best interests of his employees. That's digusting. /sarc
Didn't Mickey D's receive an exemption from Obamacare previously?
As a Democrat would do, change the subject.
Sometimes I get encouraged about our country's future when I see something like this.
Specifically, there is an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term. This year's term was "Political Correctness."
The winner wrote: "Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
Hey 'RATS! You want fries with that? LOL!
So it was a franchise owner, the corporate office is fully behind obama...... and the behinds of homos.
Years ago I had a boss who made our lunch time coincide with Rush Limbaugh's TV show and he watched it religiously in the break room every day. LOL
LMAO!...perfect...I'll be stealing that one for sure...
There is an AWESOME new development... the "Question Mark"....
It makes your statement make SO much more sense.
Send him a "thank you" card.
No can do! Must be Union and pro-democrat! Also must hand out free food to employees who wear I voted Democrat stickies. Extra if they voted 2x!
Undoubtedly you will find black churches all over Ohio violating state election laws in favor of Democrats. They are never called to account for this anywhere .... no one wants to hear screams of racism
The SEIU does it all the time and uses dues paid by republicans and independents.
Here's your change
So the left says a company cannot make SUGGESTIONS for whom its employees should vote. But a union can steal dues for PAID POLITICAL ACTIVITIES without members' permission. Sure that makes sense!
Moreover, with the current economic hardships going on, if these continue less people will be able to afford to eat at McDonalds, meaning that some jobs here may no longer be needed. MAYBE YOURS.
How about phn102 starts using the "Question Mark" when you quit being a jerk?
Yeah, yeah, the unions do it .. give employees (including those employed and paid by member companies) time off to work phone banks, attend rallies, drive voters to the polls, etc., but an employer can't do it. That's different. We get it.
There is nothing wrong with that.
Yes, writing like a child is awesome. Promote it some more.
And BULLY for the franchise owner, Paul Siegfried!! Since when is stating a helpful fact illegal?
Quite a surprise, this story coming from Canton...keep up the good work, Paul!!
The leftists can pound sand.
Is the Dem opposition to this a confession that they will stop raises and benefits? I didn't see any party labels but I'm sure the Dems recognize who they are.
So what's your point gunner.
It would, if I was asking a question.
IT's a private company and can put what it wants on its checks.
They should have offered school kids free food to campaign for them. It's alright for Barbara Boxer to solicit the schools to offer extra credit for politicking; it's gotta be alright to politic for a happy meal.
I would say you had a great boss, one who listens to the Great Rush.
Even if they did support Republicans, I am TOTALLY against this!

Example Investigations Performed by ABS Consulting
Industry Type
Brief Description
Explosion leading to three fatalities
Offshore Drilling
While performing welding activities, an explosion occurred that resulted in propelling three tanks off the platform and killing three workers. Hot work permit issues and contractor oversight were major issues identified. ABS Consulting performed evidence collection, root cause analysis, fire and explosion modeling, coordinated laboratory analyses, and interfaced with BSEE and legal counsel during the investigation.
Stack Failure
Chemical Processing
A 200' steel stack fell onto the bag house. The stack had rapidly corroded over a period of two years because of problems with the materials of construction and operational problems that lead to excessive chlorides in the stack plume. The investigation involved causal analysis and metallurgical analysis issues.
Metal Fabrication and Process Failures
An analysis was conducted to identify potential causes of chronic manufacturing problems with a complex stamped and welded component.
Near-miss Electrocution
Electric Utility
During construction operations, a contract worker climbed onto an energized high-voltage transformer. An HSE professional noticed the worker was in a prohibited area before the contractor was electrocuted. ABS Consulting assisted the utility RCA team in performing their analyses.
Crane Runs Off Rails and Cab Falls to Floor
A bridge crane ran off the crane rails and the cab crashed to the floor. The crane operator was killed. Some mechanical issues, human errors, and human factors issues contributed to the incident. ABS Consulting led the root cause analysis team.

Shumlin expresses doubts on GMO bill
MONTPELIER — Gov. Peter Shumlin is expressing doubt about whether Vermont should pass a bill requiring special labeling for food that is genetically modified or contains genetically modified ingredients.
Shumlin says Vermont lost a lawsuit several years ago over a requirement for labels on dairy products from cows treated with an artificial growth hormone.
He says that loss in the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals makes Vermont likely not the best state to be the first to test a GMO labeling law.
A bill requiring labels on genetically modified food cleared the House Agriculture Committee last Friday, but even supporters say they expect that if it passes, it will be challenged in court by the biotech industry.MORE IN This Just In

I've connected a HDTV with HDMI on my Radeon 4670, using the open source ati driver. However there is "overscan" which cuts off a bit of each edge of the screen, about the size of the gnome-panel. How can I fix this so it displays the full resolution?
The issue was with the TV, not Ubuntu. For this Samsung TV I had to choose Menu / Picture / Picture Options / Size / Screen Fit (instead of 16:9).
I'd suggest checking your graphics card driver software, I know ATI comes with overscan options. In windows there was a program called power strip that I used to fix this on mine with Windows 7.
As the above comments are saying, the problem is most likely due to the TV and not the driver.
However, if you have a Sharp Aquos TV, "Dot by Dot" mode might not be available in the menu as Pakman mentioned; I couldn't find an option for enabling "Dot by Dot" mode anywhere.
Instead, I solved the problem by discovering that my remote has a dedicated "Wide Mode" button for this setting, which looks kind of like this:
Fixing HDMI overscan on a Samsung TV
I connect my laptop to the HDMI input of my Samsung TV. Due to overscan, The TV annoyingly puts part of the image outside the visible screen, even though the resolution is correctly set to 1080p. Here is a solution:
Your screen goes blank for a second – and mission accomplished: the overscan is disabled.
Both right,
New TVs are set to allow overscan, so the driver will often do that very overscan that is available when set to a desktop resolution.
So, the driver for the video card - might - have an overscan setting to resolve this if lucky, or as Hew found out you might be able to set the TV to display the incoming signal without overscan.
Try the video display driver first, then if no luck, try your TV settings. It is best to correct in the driver setting first, instead of setting a fixed display.
I Have struggled with this problem for longer than I care to say! This may help if you have a NVidia graphics card, and Ubuntu 14.04.
In my case, activating overscan on the monitor (a Philips 244E) didn't fully solve the problem (the monitor's space was not fully covered). I had to deactivate overscan on the monitor and do it using the AMD catalyst control center
I using ubuntu 13.10 and had the same overscan problem using a 32" dynex led tv. Im using a shuttle computer with 3rd gen intel graphics 2500 connected buy hdmi cable. I went into my advanced video settings on my tv and turned off overscan (problem fixed)
As someone before me wrote: This isn't a software problem. Many TV models behaves differently if the HDMI port input label is set to "PC" or something else.
Make sure that your TV knows what's connected to the other end of your HDMI cable
On my 47" LG LCD I can set it at Menu->Option->Input Label
Try switching the aspect ratio of your tv by clicking "aspect" button on your controller(tvformat:auto-scan). I connect my dell laptop to a 22" tv and it works.
i've just fixed the issue by changing in the property disply modi to 1920x1080 60Hz. it was 59Hz.
this solved my problem, without doing with the registry.

AbstractNot Available Structural responses to gust and buffet load excitation encompass a wide range of frequency spectrum. Any load alleviation system must be able to function well beyond this range to provide necessary damping to suppress vibrations. The proposed load alleviation system has the following unique qualities: 1. It uses aerodynamic damping property to suppress the structural responses, 2. It uses the smart actuation system to activate/excite the aerodynamic effectors to generate unsteady air loads, 3. The actuators have large magnification factors so as to limit strains of piezoelectric materials within safe margins, 4. Aerodynamic effectors deform continuously and smoothly providing efficient aerodynamic authority, 5. Piezoelectric actuators operate in kilo Hertz range and are able to cover a wide range of the excitation spectrum.

Special teams were an advantage at least in 2009. I think BYU ended up winning that game because Utah punt blockers couldn't seem to get the idea to not touch the kicker after he punted the ball. If I remember right, there was a play where Ute's special teams hit our returner early, giving us good field position. It's been awhile, but I think my memory is serving me right. So...that's at least one game.

The Utes special teams are poor at best. BYU's is much improved, kickers solid, Hoffman and Falslev are very good. Utah needs to step it up. Both have very good defenses, edge I give to Utah. Offensive edge to BYU. Coaching, well have to go with Whit but Bronco is no slouch. Home field to the U. But Special teams could turn the tables for the Cougs for sure.

It really sounds like the team making the fewest special teams blunders wins, if
it's close. Yes, I realize that's fairly self-evident, and that one
team's blunder is usually the other team's stellar play.
But when I think about BYU special team bads, TCU comes first to mind.
I still say, if Riley scrambles (not necessarily runs), BYU wins. If Utah contains him like Tulsa did, long night...

I don't see how special teams can be the determining factor. Not when God
favors one side and that side is so morally superior.
Regardless of the score the Y will not be beaten. They may give the game away. Question: Has the Y ever been beaten due to the other team playing better?
One thing to watch for in the game is - How fast can the offensive lineman (in condition after all these years) back peddle.
Along a different line: Yesterday there was an article where a Ute Zone reporter was asked direct questions about the Utes. I felt it was an objective and informed analysis. Several Y fans viewed it similarly (except for DuckHunter). I invite you to read it if you haven't yet. I looked forward to a similar article about the Y today; however, a Y fan said the author did this for all Y opponents but not the Y. I can understand this if the paper was the Daily Universe but the Deseret News? I could hear Colonel Jessop screaming, "You can't handle the truth."
Hoping for another classic game Saturday. Go Utes.

Sonic Corp. is the decade's first QSR operator to cry uncle and declare it no longer wants to play the discount game. The fourth-largest burger chain is getting its own ball and drafting game rules that once again put brand experience ahead of price in defining value.After announcing disappointing results for his company's first quarter of fiscal 2010 in the morning, Sonic Chairman-CEO Clifford Hudson told analysts during an afternoon conference call that the time has come to push back against an "industry so heavily focused on price." Sonic won't/can't stop appealing to consumers' desire for value, he said, but it can "find a way to talk about value in a Sonic sort of way."

Wood Tips: Balsa or Basswood?
I am constantly asked whether balsa is better than basswood. Here are some of my notes comparing the two woods.
Balsa is cheaper and more available than basswood. This means you can buy more wood, and build more bridges for the same amount of money. By building more, you will gain valuable experience and improve your skills. When it is all said and done, you may be able to build a better balsa bridge.
Balsa is stiff, while basswood will bend.That's right, you can bend basswood more than balsa. That is good if you are building an arch bridge. But what if you don't want your bridge to bend? Balsa will give you a stiffer piece than basswood for the same size. However, I have seen balsa bend a lot under heavy load without breaking. I am not sure why it was able to bend so much, but it did.
You can get more cross-section for the same mass with balsa. In other words, you can have a bigger piece of balsa for the same weight of basswood. In compression members, larger and lighter pieces will actually hold more than smaller, heavier ones.
Basswood won't rip off at the joints as much as balsa. Sometimes the face grain of balsa will tear away at the joint. Basically, basswood holds itself together better than balsa.
Balsa comes in a wide range of densities. You don't always know how strong the wood is that you are getting. Basswood usually comes in a much smaller range, which means you can be more consistent with basswood. That problem can be fixed if you weigh each piece of wood before gluing it to the bridge. That way, you know exactly what is going on your bridge and can keep accurate records.
Balsa is less likely to be the same strength throughout its entire length. If you buy a piece 24 inches long, it may be stronger at one end then the other. This just complicates things, making it harder for you. Basswood is usually uniform in strength.
Balsa will sand easier, but basswood won't crush.You can squeeze a piece of balsa, and totally deform it. A "squeezed" piece of balsa is weaker, because the internal atomic structure is messed up. You need to be more careful when working with balsa.
Balsa changes weight with changes in humidity more than basswood. Many times I have had a balsa bridge lose weight after setting it in the sun for a couple of hours. Of course, the opposite is true. Balsa bridges will gain weight after humid days. Basswood does not change so much with the weather.
For the same mass, basswood pieces must be smaller. Usually, this means that a basswood joint will have less surface area for glue than a balsa joint. That means you may have to use stronger glue with bass, which might add weight.
So you see, there are many factors that play into which wood is better. Basswood may be better in some places, and balsa in others. I encourage you to experiment with both woods. Specialized Balsa is the company I recommend for buying balsa.
Don't forget about the other woods.
Birch, Spruce, Aspen, Pine, and others are all alternatives to balsa and basswood. But I guarantee that you won't be able to find them like you can balsa. They will cost more money. But don't immediately rule them out, you may want to play around with them, and check out their qualities. Let me know what you find out.

Hey Garrett, i'm building an elevated bridge for the science olympiad this year and i'm wondering if it's a good idea to use basswood for the arches and main support pieces and use balsa for the members and lateral braces.
I need help with my project for school and i need to know what materials i need to make a 23 cm bridge. can u help me out plz?
how many type of bridges are there and are more being made.
what is the best wood to use when buliding a bridge.
The simple answer is that there isn't a best wood. It all depends on your goals for the bridge.
I hear paulownia wood is better than both with regard to strength/weight. Information on the net is rather obscure for paulownia, can you comment on this wood or is it just snake oil?
I'm afraid that I have never used Paulownia wood and don't know anything about it.
Which one is lighter?
Balsa is lighter as it is less dense than basswood.
Thanks, that was very educational. I have ready access to both, and needed an outside point of view.

Dates to the late 19th century and the detail is incredible on this. The facial features are amazing, please see the photographs. Very three dimensional and marked KPM as shown. Overall this is 8 5/8" x 7 3/4" with the plaque being 5 7/8" x 4 7/8". Looks like a gent with a pinch of snuff and the snuffbox in the other. Has one blue rim cracked glass panel as shown, but still great for display. I have reduced the price twice, and I will include shipping and insurance also.......
