Arizona Diamondbacks
Olney: Marlins talked with D-backs about Reyes
According to ESPN MLB insider Buster Olney, the Miami Marlins had discussed the possibility of moving José Reyes to the Arizona Diamondbacks before sending the young shortstop to the Toronto Blue Jays in a blockbuster trade this past Tuesday.
Before the megatrade was made, the Marlins talked with the D-Backs about shortstop Jose Reyes as they assessed the market.
— Buster Olney (@Buster_ESPN) November 15, 2012
With so many young prospects in their farm system and a desperate need for a shortstop, the pieces were certainly in place for the D-backs to make a move for the Reyes.
Arizona would most likely have had to include a top prospect or two in any deal with the Marlins. One of the options could have been Trevor Bauer, which may not have been a problem since numerous reports are stating the D-backs are looking to move the young hurler.
For whatever reason the trade didn't happen, leaving the D-backs with newly acquired shortstop Cliff Pennington to go along with John McDonald and Willie Bloomquist at the position.

Alumna Becomes President of the NLN
At its annual business meeting, the National League for Nursing announced that Anne R. Bavier, PhD, RN, FAAN, assumed the presidency, the anticipated conclusion to her board service these past two years as president-elect. Dr. Bavier will serve as the League's president until 2017.
"Every other year, I have the pleasure of welcoming a new president and president-elect to lead the NLN, and I consider it a privilege to now congratulate Dr. Anne Bavier and Dr. G. Rumay Alexander, said NLN CEO Beverly Malone, PhD, RN, FAAN. "Among the nation's pre-eminent leaders in nursing education, Anne brings to the NLN her extraordinary vision, commitment, and record of success. Like any Texan, Ann thinks and acts in a big way. That's why we know we can count on her game-changing perspective to help guide the League in preparing a diverse, outstanding nursing workforce to advance the health of the nation and the global community."
In her inaugural address, Dr. Bavier emphasized her commitment to ensuring that nurse educators have access to the best resources, the most current research, the newest techniques, and the encouragement needed to create the best teaching-learning environments. She called for nursing educators to expand their mutual horizons through international dialogue and to embrace the power to serve students online as well as through face-to-face exchanges.
"Our dedication to nurse educators, and to the pivotal role they play in human health, distinguishes the National League for Nursing from other organizations," Dr. Bavier said. "I am deeply honored to lead this prestigious body, one built upon generations of leaders whose efforts were relentless in advancing nursing practice through excellence in nursing education."
Anne R. Bavier, PhD, RN, FAAN, who has served the NLN as a governor at-large and as BOG secretary, takes the helm as NLN president, transitioning from president-elect, a position she's held since her election in 2013. Dr. Bavier is a nationally recognized health care leader who has held the top posts at top-ranked universities and at the National Institutes of Health. Prior to being appointed dean of the UT Arlington College of Nursing and Health Innovation in April 2014, she was dean of the University of Connecticut School of Nursing (2007-2011) and dean of nursing at Saint Xavier University (2004-2007) in Chicago.

File sharing with MLDonkey and KMLDonkey
The multi-network MLDonkey client gives users access to all the major file sharing networks. We'll show you how to set up MLDonkey and how you can control the MLDonkey client with a KDE front end called KMLDonkey.
Peer-to-peer file-sharing is one of the most controversial applications of our times. Users who put their complete CD collections on their hard disks, and invite other users to download them, have drawn the scrutiny of the music and movie industries. But when file sharing is used legally, it is an excellent way of making files available without the need for purchasing remote web space. Some of the more prominent examples of file sharing networks are Morpheus, Gnutella, BitTorrent, and Donkey/eMule. Recent clients that can handle multiple peer-to-peer networks and give users more intuitive access. One such client is MLDonkey.

Wilt Chamberlain Is Dead at 63; Dominated Basketball in the 60's
By FRANK LITSKY
Published: October 13, 1999
Wilt Chamberlain, whose size, strength and intimidation made him probably the most dominant player in basketball history, and whose 100-point game stands as one of the towering records in sport, was found dead yesterday in his home in the Bel-Air section of Los Angeles. He was 63.
John Black, a spokesman for the Los Angeles Lakers, Chamberlain's last team, said that the authorities were called to the home shortly after noon Pacific time and found the body. Jim Wells, a Fire Department spokesman, said there were indications that Chamberlain had suffered a heart attack.
At 7 feet 1 inch and 275 pounds, Chamberlain was an awesome offensive force, and while he scored many points with gentle finger-roll shots he also became the game's first monster dunker.
Before he came along, basketball had such big centers as 6-10 George Mikan and 7-foot Bob Kurland. But Chamberlain was bigger and stronger, with a more potent inside game, so overpowering that the National Basketball Association widened the free-throw lane to force him farther from the basket.
He helped usher in an era of dominant centers that included Bill Russell of the Boston Celtics, his antagonist in so many playoff and championship series, and continued with the 7-2 Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and today with the 7-1, 315-pound Shaquille O'Neal of the Lakers. They, like Chamberlain, were effective not just because of their height, but because they combined strength with agility and the ability to play above the rim. Indeed, the title of Chamberlain's 1991 autobiography reflected his legacy -- ''A View From Above.''
His name overwhelms the pro basketball record book the way his presence on the court overwhelmed everyone else on it. He not only holds the record for most points in a game -- the 100 he scored against the Knicks on March 2, 1962 -- but for the highest scoring average in a season (50.4) and the most rebounds for a career, 23,924. In some categories in the record book, the list of top performances has only his name.
His physique and skills earned him not just one nickname but two -- Wilt the Stilt, which he disliked, and the Big Dipper.
Chamberlain had recently suffered a large weight loss following dental surgery, his sister, Barbara Lewis, said at a news conference yesterday. He had dropped at least 50 pounds and perhaps as much as 60.
His sister and her husband were with Chamberlain on Saturday night at his Bel-Air home along with Linda Huey, a longtime friend. The group watched the film ''Shakespeare in Love'' on pay-per-view, but about an hour into the movie, Chamberlain grew uncomfortable and left the room.
''He was moving and fidgety,'' said Huey, who has known Chamberlain for 30 years. ''I knew something was wrong.''
His sister said he looked worse than she had ever seen him. ''He said he felt worse than he ever did Saturday,'' she said.
In the N.B.A., Chamberlain played five and a fraction seasons with the Warriors, first in Philadelphia and then in San Francisco. The Warriors traded him to the new Philadelphia team, the 76ers, and he played for them for three and a fraction seasons. His last five seasons were with the Lakers.
Over all, he played 1,045 regular-season and 160 playoff games. He scored 31,419 points, the N.B.A. career record until Abdul-Jabbar broke it, and averaged 30.1 points and 22.9 rebounds a game over his career. He never fouled out of a game.
His teams reached the playoffs 13 times, but only two won championships -- the Philadelphia 76ers in 1967 and the Lakers in 1972. Four of his teams lost in playoff finals and six others in conference finals. In three of those championship finals, Russell and the Celtics won the seventh and final game by 1 or 2 points.
His 100-point night against the Knicks has become one of the most famous performances ever and gave rise to a legion of false boasts by fans who swear they were there at Madison Square Garden when Wilt scored 100. The game, however, was played in Hershey, Pa. What made it more stunning was that Chamberlain, one of the poorest free-throw shooters the sport had known, sank 28 of 32 that night.
He led the league in scoring seven consecutive seasons (1960-61 through 1966-67) and in rebounding 11 times in 14 seasons. He was the league's most valuable player as a rookie in 1960 and again in 1966, 1967 and 1968.
''We've lost a giant of a man in every sense of the word,'' the National Basketball Association commissioner, David Stern, said in a statement yesterday. ''The shadow of accomplishment he cast over our game is unlikely ever to be matched.''
Chamberlain seemed almost irritated over the fuss made over his 100-point game at the expense of other accomplishments.
''I was hot that night,'' he said. ''They were feeding me and it was just one game.''
The N.B.A. records he liked best were his season records of 50.4 points a game in the 1961-62 season, 48.5 minutes a game the same season (including overtimes) and 27.2 rebounds a game in 1960-61. He also holds the single-game record for rebounds, 55, set against Boston in 1960.

I am a very new programmer, I have made a couple basic applications, however I was told that it would be good to get used to using "source control" at the near the beginning of learning so I get accustomed to it. I have gathered that source control is what is used to manage programs with multiple programmers and that it is somehow connected directly to my projects in Visual studio. I also believe there are two primary versions, "TFS" and "SVN". Past that I am fairly lost, I am not sure what I need to actually implement this, specifically how I would do so on my personal projects. Also I don't know what program(s) are needed.
Should I use TFS or SVN? What program(s) do I need to install? How do I implement them in Visual Studio? Is it a good habit to get into for my personal programming or would you disagree?

I have a 2 TB HFS+-formatted external hard drive that got dropped a couple of days ago while transferring files onto a Macbook Pro. Now the drive's partitions won't mount. Disk Utility can see the drive, but doesn't recognize that it has any partitions.
I've tried using Data Rescue 2 to recover files off of it, but it couldn't find anything. In addition, our local computer repair shop said they couldn't find anything on there either.
I know that I could ship the drive off to someone like DriveSavers, but I was hoping for a cheaper option (since they start at about $500 for the attempt).
Is there something else I could try on my own? Would TestDisk be able to help with something like this?

I installed WordPress successfully. It is now in a folder on my host server. I can't see it on my website. I tried changing the settings to see what I could do to give it a nudge, but now it won't let me log on.
I tried doing a one click installation from my host server but got a message that one click cannot install since the files are in a folder on my host server.
WordPress is a waste of time. From all the discussions, it seems WordPress is frustrating to install and get running. Why do people create programmes that require IT professionals to work it? I think the best thing is for me to delete the programme.

Nice looking beaches and seabirds!
Good tips. Most of my visits were on the East coast, but once saw west coast beaches & loved them.
Navarre looks like wonderful place to spend to just walking along that beautiful beach. Nothing more relaxing than that. I enjoyed the tour Kay, thanks!
Those beaches look like a nice place to go for walks and relax, well except in the hurricane season....I'm back online after 5 months of having to trudge to e-cafes in the neighbourhood. Tim
These beaches look great. Unfortunatelly this area was partly devastated by hurricane when I was there in fall 2004.
Another "stellar" group of pages, Kay. Good warnings, especially about the fire ants. Some brilliant photos, especially the butterfly.
The beaches here look wonderful Kay, so empty. Wish I was there now! (~_~)

School Lunches, Healthy Choices
Healthy School Lunches: Getting the Kids Involved
A great way to be sure kids want to eat right is to make them part of the process. Some good ways to do that include:
- Have Everyone Jump In. Muster enthusiasm for the midday meal by having kids participate in planning and assembling their own lunches. When children help, making healthy school lunches becomes second nature, and they'll soon be doing it on their own.
- Get Kids Excited. Let kids choose a lunch box or insulated bag; a thermos; and small reusable hard plastic containers for taking lunch to school. A small freezer pack keeps food cold. Have them decorate them with stickers, markers, or paint. Children who brown-bag it can decorate a different bag every day.
- Shop Together for Healthy Choices. Take your child to the grocery store to pick out healthy ingredients. "At the very least, lunch should include a source of protein, such as turkey, chicken, beans, eggs, nut butters, or sunflower seed butter; grains; fruits or vegetables; and a nutritious beverage, such as low-fat milk or 100% fruit juice," Nissenberg says.
- Make Compromising Cool. When kids clamor for fatty luncheon meats, chips, sugary drinks, and desserts -- compromise. Have them concoct their own healthier versions. Purchase reduced-sodium deli meat; reduced-fat cheese; whole-grain bread or crackers; small fruit, such as clementines and tangerines; cartons of 1% low-fat milk or 100% fruit juice; and mini candy bars.
- Check Up on Lunch.If you're curious what your child is actually eating what he packs for lunch, ask him to bring home any uneaten food.
So, Are School Lunches Unhealthy?
Millions of American school children line up for school lunch every day. Even so, the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) catches a lot of flak.
"Could school lunches be better? Sure. But the perception that school lunch is bad is largely unfair," says Andrea Giancoli, MS, RD, nutrition policy coordinator for the Los Angeles Unified School District, and a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.
Children who participate in the NSLP are twice as likely to eat vegetables, consume more fruit, and take in less sugar at lunch as kids who don't eat NSLP meals, according to a study conducted by Mathematica Policy Research.

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
Each day in November, I will read and review/discuss/whatever one comic taken from a box of some of my childhood comics. Today, it's Superman annual #3.
Superman annual #3 by Dan Jurgens and Dusty Abell is part of the "Armageddon 2001″ story where a superhero turned bad in the year 2001 to become the evil Monarch and conquered the world. Originally, the hero was meant to be Captain Atom, but when word leaked about that twist, they changed it to Hawk of Hawk & Dove fame. Because people believe Hawk to be powerful enough to kill all of the other heroes and take over the world… So, I guess that year's annuals focused on showing us the future of DC's heroes. In this one, Waverider finds Superman and touches him so he can access his timeline to check and see what happens in 2001 to determine if Superman becomes the Monarch.
I always love future stories for the same reason I love alternate reality stories: the gloves come off. There's no need to worry about continuity and keeping the character in place for someone else, the creators can just go wild, their only concern creating a good story. Not that this is that strong an issue, but it is interesting (more interesting than most issue of Superman). Between 1991 and 2001, Lois and Clark get married and things seem good until Intergang use a nuclear bomb to hold Metropolis hostage… and it goes off, destroying the city, and killing everyone Clark loved there. In the aftermath, he turns to Lana Lang for comfort and Superman begins dismantling all nuclear weapons, pissing off various world governments. The only one we see is the American one where, after sinking a nuclear sub with seven men still aboard, they finally have just cause to go after Superman. Up until this point, public sympathy has been on his side since he's disarming nations of horribly deadly weapons, but now that he's killed… well, that's another story. They go to Batman to take Superman down, telling him that if he doesn't do it quietly, they'll get the Justice League, which will do it very publically. Batman tells the president to go fuck himself… but will look into it. Superman/Clark's home life is kind of a mess as his father is dead, his mom suffers from Alzheimer's and he's becoming more and more unhinged, referring to Clark and Superman as two different people. After a confrontation from Bruce where Bruce acts… very unBatmanlike, Superman takes off to do more good work only to get ambushed by the Justice League: Martian Manhunter, Booster Gold, and Fire.
Now, this fight is probably the oddest part of the issue since Booster and Fire spend the entire fight mocking Superman and thinking of him as an out of touch old guy… really? I buy that sort of attitude from young heroes created in future stories, but those two have been around for a long time — even the Martian Manhunter is a bit of prick. It doesn't matter, because Superman beats them up until the Martian Manhunter gets trapped in a fire and suffers a heart attack. Superman's reaction to being called a murderer is priceless: he was invulnerable to fire, so technically Superman didn't kill him, but that's a shame. This latest action causes Superman to move his family from Smallville to the Fortress of Solitude. Meanwhile, Robin (yes, ten years later in this world where Superman and Batman both have greying temples, Tim Drake is a grown man and still Robin) has found proof that seven seamen did die on that sub, so Batman calls Superman out to Gotham. We get a nice visual throwback to The Dark Knight Returns as the two fight with Robin getting involved (who's also a jerk), eventually Batman and Robin killing Superman with the Kryptonite ring. So, Superman isn't Monarch.
It's not a bad read, rather heavy-handed much of the time. Superman letting loose to be the planet's babysitter is always interesting, but where the issue fails is the reaction of the other heroes. Whenever stories like this are written, every other hero has to be written out of character to justify their stopping the hero who's 'gone rogue.' Except Batman doesn't seem like Batman here — at least, not the post-Dark Knight Returns Batman that he was at the time. The final fight scene has a few moments that leave me wondering about how these characters think… one big one being that Superman is careless for knocking Robin away too hard for fear that he could kill him — as Batman and Robin are trying to kill him! I'm sorry, but when you've showed up with a deadly radiation ring to kill someone, you can't call them careless or wrong when they get a little pissed off and don't handle you with kid gloves anymore.
Beyond that, the end of the issue is meant to be a reversal of the end of The Dark Knight Returns, except Batman doing the government's dirty work to take down Superman isn't believable the way it was the other way around. Batman operates outside of the law with more abandon than Superman, even expressing that he wished Superman had begun his campaign earlier than he did in their first conversation. What's even stranger: even in a Superman story, Superman can't beat Batman.
Also, despite his somewhat frazzled state, I never buy Superman not giving the personnel from the sub more time to evacuate — or to consider that the amount of lead in the sub may obscure his x-ray vision. It's a lot of convenient lapses that don't actually fit into what we've seen before. Same with the Justice League just attacking Superman — especially since, as we see a year later, Superman is a member of the team with those three heroes!
Dusty Abell's art is serviceable. He has the difficult task of drawing these characters ten years older and falls back on lame things like greying temples… really, both Superman and Batman having grey temples at, what, 40?
Again, not a bad issue, just one that tries too hard to get to its endpoint. Tomorrow, the story continues in Batman annual #15 (those being the only two "Armageddon 2001″ annuals I have).
Ah, "Armageddon 2001." Man, what a great title.
Not a bad story concept, either, in fact I'd say as these things go it was pretty promising. You had a relatively simple, but compelling, main narrative, which nonetheless provided lots of license for each crossover issue to do its own story; moreover, these were all "Elsewords" stories so, as you point out, they could really cut loose.
Remember when Marvel and DC did big events that ran through all the annuals like this? (Remember when they HAD annuals on any kind of regular, systematic pattern? No…? Darn kids.)
It's also really kind of amusing to consider the fact that the villain's identity was changed because of a leak… and this was 1991, well before the World Wide Web. How DID the information get around, actually. I sure don't recall (I was 13 and while I actually did buy a few parts of this story, I was mostly reading Marvel and moreover not at all plugged in to comics news at that point.)
Ha, here we go, good old Wiki:
Apparently Dan Jurgens has noted that "there was a 900 service that somebody setup that supposedly gave you inside secrets of the comic book industry. And somewhere along the line, that 900 service started saying that Monarch was going to be Captain Atom."
Man. I remember Marvel had its own "insider" line for a while, which I called up. That always cracks me up, too, it was like the web was straining to be born just ahead of the necessary technological infrastructure.
What's funny is that the story has since been retconned so that Captain Atom did become the Monarch.
I might be showing my age, but when I think of Superman Annual #3, I think of the Silver Age gem that has various stories featuring Superman's numerous transformations. My favorite was the one where Superman "reveals" his true face to Lois-an Alfred E. Neumanesque face. I guess that was DC's response to MAD's infamous "Superduperman" parody.
Same here, Michael D. The Annuals &, even more (since I didn't start reading comics with anything approaching regularity till mid-'67), the 80-Page Giants that followed them, are pretty much my favorite comics of all time.
Armageddon 2001 was one of my favorite Annual themes.
As to the greying temples, I was rocking the Reed Richards by the time I was forty.
One of my favorite stories of all time was on the Justice League America annual, where Captain Glory dies and the future of Blue Beetle as Silver Moth (?) is shown. Extremely touching scenes for me.
Really shold have used the Action Comics annual for Armageddon 2001 instead. I loved that one. Young Bryan Hitch as the artist, Lois killed by Superfetus, Suerman's self-imposed exile into space, banging Maxima, loved that annual.
Actually, the Action Comics annual for Armageddon 2001 is the one where Superman becomes president. I know this because I have that one. The Adventures of Superman annual is the one with Maxima.
I stand corrected.
Ricardo: Beetle became the Stupendous Silverfish in that annual. Yes, the Stupendous Silverfish.
Not one of Ted's proudest moments.

I'll skip the suggestion to wear high heels. Best advice I ever got for sensible shopping: shop alone, don't shop if you're hungry or emotionally upset, and buy only things on a shopping list that you prepared long before you enter a store.

Shopping is an expensive entertainment. I can see how the discomfort can keep your mind from desire. So lesson learned, If she has high heels nothing or no one is desirable more than taking off those shoes.

Wearing high heels seems to indicate little experience, maturity or common sense, without which shopping could be disastrous.

Well, I've never worn them, but they look painful. Maybe the pain will make you hurry up and not spend money on things you don't need.

Ensuring confidence in radionuclide-based sediment chronologies and bioturbation rates

Sedimentary records of naturally occurring and fallout-derived radionuclides are widely used as tools for estimating both the ages of recent sediments and rates of sedimentation and bioturbation. Developing these records to the point of data interpretation requires careful sample collection, processing, analysis and data modeling. In this work, we document a number of potential pitfalls that can impact sediment core records and their interpretation. This paper is not intended as an exhaustive treatment of these potential problems. Rather, the emphasis is on potential problems that are not well documented in the literature, as follows: 1) The mere sampling of sediment cores at a resolution that is too coarse can result in an apparent diffusive mixing of the sedimentary record at rates comparable to diffusive bioturbation rates observed in many locations; 2) 210Pb profiles in slowly accumulating sediments can easily be misinterpreted to be driven by sedimentation, when in fact bioturbation is the dominant control. Multiple isotopes of different half lives and/or origin may help to distinguish between these two possible interpretations; 3) Apparent mixing can occur due simply to numerical artifacts inherent in the finite difference approximations of the advection diffusion equation used to model sedimentation and bioturbation. Model users need to be aware of this potential problem. Solutions to each of these potential pitfalls are offered to ensure the best possible sediment age estimates and/or sedimentation and bioturbation rates can be obtained.

J.J. Abrams is directing Star Wars: Episode VII and spinoff films are in the works, so what does that mean for the movies' casts? When the new trilogy announced, there was much speculation that the original three stars — Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford — would return. According to one report, one of those actors has finally made his involvement official.
Latino Review reports Ford signed a deal to return to the franchise, although it's unknown now big of a role he'll play or precisely which movie he'll appear in. Still, the website contends "official sources" confirm Ford is "officially coming back as Han Solo."
It was first reported in November that Ford and his former co-stars were considering reprising the roles of Han, Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia. Ford in particular seemed enthused by the idea, with a source saying, "Harrison is open to the idea of doing the movie and he's upbeat about it, all three of them are." Hopefully an official confirmation will come soon, like it did with Abrams' involvement.
Star Wars: Episode VII, directed by J.J. Abrams from a script by Michael Arndt, is targeted for release in 2015, with the first of the standalone movies to follow.
There are no "nukable" refrigerators in Star Wars, are there?
it would be really great to see Harrison Ford in that role again, hope it comes to pass
Ugh not liking this at all. Rather than tell a compelling new story set in the SW Universe, they are just going to play off peoples nostalgia and roll out these senior citizens.
Well Luke, Han and Leigh are all major characters in the stories that follow Star Wars 6. The graphic novels by Dark Horse are amazing, some of the best Star Wars stuff there is hands down.
Yes. This is what it needed! Hopefully he'll be the older wiser Han of Empire rather than the older wiser Han of Jedi.
As supporting characters I could see this working. Particularly with J.J.Abrams at the helm I would imagine he would go this way (See Leonard Nimoy in star trek).

By GRACE WYLER
General Motors' Chevrolet Cruze is drawing rave reviews, and the automaker has now garnered another prestigious achievement. The Chevrolet Volt, GM's highly anticipated electric car, has been named Motor Trend magazine's 2011 Car of the Year.
The announcement comes just weeks before the vehicle is due to hit dealer showrooms.
The coveted industry award was presented Tuesday at a ceremony at GM's wind tunnel in Warren, Mich. The ceremony was surreal, said Bob Boniface, lead designer for the Volt and a Poland native.
"The Volt was done during very difficult times for GM," Boniface said. "The fact that we soldiered through the rough patch and got the car out in record time — it shows that we are doing the right thing."
Motor Trend's award recognizes the Volt — a battery-powered car with a backup gasoline engine — for its advanced engineering, design and unique approach to fuel efficiency.
The Volt can run up to 50 miles on an electric charge before the backup engine takes over to power the car for up to 300 miles.
The Volt is the "world's first intelligent hybrid," magazine editors wrote in their review of the car.
"It is a fully functional, no-compromise compact automobile that offers consumers real benefits in terms of lower running costs," the review said. "The investment in the technology that drives this car is also an investment in the long-term future of automaking in America."
The accolades are good news for GM as it prepares for Thursday's initial stock offering, boosting the Volt's image as a symbol of the company's turnaround since its 2009 bankruptcy.
"We learned a lot beyond just the electrification of the automobile," Boniface said. "Efficient design, efficient engineering, efficient manufacturing — those will carry over to GM's gasoline-powered vehicles."
The Motor Trend award is a notable testament to GM's achievements in the electric-vehicle segment, said James Bell, executive market analyst with Kelley Blue Book.
The Volt can be a "replacement vehicle" for another car because its gasoline-powered backup engine enables the electric vehicle to take lengthy trips, Bell said.
"The Volt could take you anywhere you wanted to go at any time," Bell said. "That is part of being an American driver, that freedom."
The car's advanced engineering accounts for the Volt's $41,000 price tag, although the cost is expected to come down as GM improves battery technology and powertrain systems. A $7,500 federal tax credit will partly offset the high price, and the Volt remains cheaper than many traditional hybrids now on the market, GM says.
The Volt beat out 20 other finalists for this year's Motor Trend award, including the Lordstown-built Cruze and luxury cars such as the Audi A8 and the Jaguar XJ. GM last received the award for the Cadillac CTS in 2008.
Motor Trend's 2011 Car of the Year report will be featured in the January issue of the magazine and can be viewed online at www.motortrend.com.
$41 k, what a deal!!! I will opt for the Prius @ $23k or Insight for under $20k, save a few bucks and know that the car will last. GM did a bang up job this time, is it any surprise that they had to be bailed out?
Im really glad that all Americans who dont buy a new car help other Americans who buy this government product. Not only do Americans chip in $7500 per car, but we have helped another corporate giant named GE to the tune of $2,000 for the battery that they designed for the VOLT, not to mention EVEN more tax dollars for the plug in stations that have to be built.
The VOLT will be this Government's version of the Edsel!
Dear author 50. To drink water, you must prime the well.
The above three posts indicate that they didn't buy into the "hype" about the Volt.
Neither do I.
Author50 also brought out a real sore point for me. WE are going to subsidize other people buying one of these "wonder cars"?
I hope the "newbies" coming into the House on Jan 12 take the meat axe to that "earmark" or boondoggle or out right theft of taxpayer money, whatever you see it as.
Congrats Bob Boniface!
There is only 10,000 that are going to be available. And the demand is supposed to be so huge, why do we need to offer the tax rebate?
George Will says it best:
Plus does anyone realize what it takes to mine and then refine the nickel used for thise batteries? It is not enviromentally sound.
It's an extremely over-priced kludge.
It doesn't work like an efficient diesel-electric locomotive -- having the petroleum engine run at its optimal rate to generate electricity and having the electric motors power the wheels, but exactly the same as all of the other recent "hybrids" -- taking power from both the gasoline engine and the electric motor, which required some heavy-duty baling-wire and duct tape and is more prone to failures.
We had cars with very good RAM characteristics that got 35-40 mpg back in 1982 for less than $10K. If you can't produce a hybrid that gets at least 50mpg and costs the same ($15K to $20K) as a gasoline- or diesel-powered vehicle of at least the same size and power, go back to the lab and keep trying.
Of course, the federal government and Fed are working hard to make sure you ARE paying $5 or $10 per gallon as soon as they can swing it -- if not by the cap and tax scam, then by devaluing the currency.
Well, the taxpayers bailed out this behemoth and won't be paid back for many years. Their are 500,000 retirees and only 80,000 employees. That means GM has an almost 30 billion dollar pension obligation and not enough workers to fund it. The Chinese company SAIC will be part owner. I wonder how that sits with the average GM worker who always promoted buying American and doesn't realize that GM's future is reliant on the Chinese market to survive. Should have just let them go under instead of allowing a prepackaged bankruptcy that circumvented bankruptcy laws and the Constitution. That would have been better for Ford, Chrysler/Fiat, and others. Chances are good that the union workers will see GM profits as theirs to plunder and force GM under at some future date.
Hate hate hate hate hate. I don't know where Mr. Boniface lives but why would he ever return to hang around a bunch of haters like you.
Have you fools ever heard of progress? Cars don't just magically appear and get 100 mpg and cost $10,000 grand, they have to start somewhere.
You cavemen will only be happy when the only cars available are Model T's made in China. Losers.
GM wont get another penny from me, 40k for this cavalier/cobalt/malibu looking thing, CHILD PLEAZZZZZ!!!
censor I mentioned the Model T and you are lying. It did not get 25mpg.....it was closer to the 13-15 range.
Way to provide links to your other sources and then just bullsh*t the rest.

Wow! You're great at this wet on wet. Very impressed with your work and this one particular calls to me. So good going sir, and keep up the great work!
Mother nature so great work !
Perfect title!
very effective, well done
Gorgeous scenery! Full of life Those pine trees, they have so much details into them, it's amazing Love the eagle. At first, I almost didn't see the would because it melts so well in the grass. I would make it more visible may be by adding more brown in his fur? I love the fact that it's not just a landscape, but a landscape with an animal and birds
That is really beautiful! You are very talented.
I thought it was photo at first!
There is no more meaningful compliment for me! Thank you so much!
I can see a Bob Ross infuence, he is one of my favourite artists.
Excellent work!!!!!
nice one Don!
i like how you've done the pines. they look like they've just a dusting of snow.
A beautiful painting, Don!
Lovely work !
oh wow! The trees in this seem so realistic they look like they're popping out of my computer screen! Incredible job! I love the bird too (I'm gonna go with bird, coz I never do know whether it's an eagle, falcon, or something else entirely )
Thanks so much Karen! I was goin' for an eagle but I couldn't get the head quite right, so "bird" works!
You're welcome!
Oh no, I'm sure it looks like an eagle. I just don't even know the difference anyway xP
Oh no, I'm sure it looks like an eagle. I just don't even know the difference anyway xP
Love the detail/texture to the trees and bushes. Especially the full pines nearest to the foreground.
really wonderful painting o: i love the mood in it

"Sam Wilson" & US Agent Clash as Spencer's "Captain America" Saga Escalates
Comic Books
• Domingos Isabelinho reviews Asterios Polyp. Well, OK, he doesn't really, but really more of a commenting on the various reviews the books have received so far. Still, it's an entertaining read.
• Ng Suat Tong has, with the help of folks like Frank Santoro, Noah Berlatsky and others, has put together a list of the "Best Online Comics Criticism" of 2009: "These writers have helped make comics a slightly more interesting place to inhabit for readers like myself, ensuring that the conversation doesn't end the moment a comic is consumed or half-digested by the reader."
Some familiar, as well as unexpected names, dot the list. Additional commentary is promised to follow.
• One thing I haven't linked to, but really should have, is Andrew Weiss' great "Nobody's Favorites" series, where he looks at utterly forgettable comic book characters. His latest take on DC's two-issue adaptation of Robotech.
• Over at the Savage Critics: Brian Hibbs looks at some recent releases; David Uzumeri takes DC to task; and Douglas Wolk savages Siege and then wonders whatever happened to the Marvel Zombie?
• If that's not enough Wolk for you (and how can it possibly be?), he also reviewed Binky Brown Meets the Holy Virgin Mary for Barnes and Noble's Web site.
• Over at the Comics Journal: Shaenon Garrity reviews The Eternal Smile; Rich Kreiner reviews last year's Humbug collection; and Rob Clough reviews mini-comics by Darryl Ayo and Aaron Cockle.
• Stephen Weiner on Alec: The Years Have Pants: "[It] should be treated like the wines that Campbell comes to appreciate: slowly sipped and savored."
• Craig Fischer takes a long, hard look at Alan Moore's new Dodgem Logic magazine.
• At the Comics Reporter: David Welsh gives a preview of notable manga for 2010, while Tom Spurgeon reviews the first issue of The Aviatrix.
• Matt Brady read Al Columbia's Pim & Francie and now has trouble getting to sleep.
• Finally Katherine Dacey provides an in-depth examination of the first six volumes of 20th Century Boys.
• Chris Butcher is biting our style doing a round-up of the 10 manga that changed comics, and if you're interested at all in examining how we got from there to here you should definitely read it. Here's part one and two and three, with more to come soon. (by the way, I'm totally kidding about the style biting.)
• Martyn Pedler looks at Peter Milligan and Chris Bachalo's Shade the Changing Man for Bookslut. That's a series that doesn't get nearly enough attention IMHO.
• Nina Stone reviews the first volume of the Luna Brothers' The Sword and makes me feel kind of dirty.
• Scott Cederlund says Footnotes in Gaza "may be Sacco's most fascinating work to date." (btw, nice site upgrade Scott.)
• Shaenon Garrity reviews Acme Novelty Library #19 for reals this time and offers a rather interesting critique that I'm not entirely sure I agree with (the supporting cast in the ongoing Rusty Brown story seems to negate her central thesis). Still, it's worth reading.
• Paul Gravett reviews the Danish anthology From Wonderland With Love, which is good because more people need to know about this book.
• PWCW has their annual critics poll up if that sort of thing floats your boat.
• Jeff Lester offers his thoughts on recent issues of Blackest Night and Fantastic Four.
• And finally, since Last Gasp is re-releasing it, Katherine Dacey offers a revamped version of her original review of Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms, which is — and I'm not joking — one of my favorite pieces of comics criticism.
• Abhay Khosla wraps up his five-part series on the recent Blue Beetle run over at Savage Critics, and asks questions that perhaps cannot be answered:
Looking back, the list of nerdy crap that I have been a dorky spazz-wad for is very, very long– but why does that stuff work on me? What does all that dopey shit have in common? Is there a grand unified field theory of dorkism that can explain why certain ideas, images, idiocies, why they're capable of burrowing under the skins of sloppy nerds such as myself? And can that theory explain why that material consumes not just my attention, but more and more attention globally at a time when attention is such a precious commodity?
• Jeet Heer further examines the "Protestant traditiion" of midwestern cartooning mentioned in a recent interview between Gary Groth, Kevin Huizenga and Art Spiegelman.
• Speaking of The Comics Journal, here are a few links of note: Steven Grant derides the Spirit Pop-Up Book; Robert Stanley Martin reviews David B's Nocturnal Conspiracies; and some idiot blathers on and on about Pluto and 20th Century Boys. Under what rock did they find that moron?
I haven't done this in awhile, so let's highlight some of the more interesting posts from the past week or so — or at least what was intersting to me:
• The folks at the Hooded Utilitarian recently wrapped up a lengthy roundtable discussion on Dan Clowes' Ghost World.
• Tom Spurgeon continues his great holiday interview series with notable critics about the great comics of the closing decade. In backwards order: Kristy Valenti on Little Nemo: So Many Splendid Sundays; Bart Beaty on Persepolis; Frank Santoro on Multiforce and our own Sean Collins on Blankets.
• Tucker Stone examines the brouhaha surrounding the announcement of Marvel's Girl's Comics series and wonders what lies behind it: "When the Big Two companies make a fuss about something, and that fuss can in any way be perceived as a movement towards correcting a problem, the initial responses are certain to contain a healthy slice of contempt."
• You've probably already seen it by now, but if you haven't, let me point you towards Abhay Khosla's rather Freudian review of Dark Reign: The List — X-Men #1:
The obvious conclusion to draw from DARK REIGN: THE LIST– X-MEN #1 is that at the close of 2009, a woman with an appetite for sex is apparently the very definition of fear and horror for Marvel comic creators and their audience.
I would diagnose such a belief as gynophobia.
• Tucker Stone and Joe McCulloch start talking about the week's comics, realize they didn't read anything that came out last week, and end up discussing how horrible it must be to be an ordinary citizen in Metropolis.
• Looking for a good graphic novel gift guide to get you through the holidays? Douglas Wolk has what you need.
• As Kevin pointed out yesterday, the new Comics Journal Web site is up and running — at least the beta version of it anyway. There's lots of good stuff to pick through, but if you've got the time, let me point you towards Gavin Lees' review of Ball Peen Hammer, Noah Berlatsky's review of Little Fluffy Gigolo Pelu, Marc Sobel's two part (of five) essay on Gilbert Hernandez's Birdland, and R. Fiore's riff on life in Metropolis pre-Superman.
• Joe McCulloch offers an amazing examination of an obscure manga anthology, titled, appropriately enough, Manga, and ends up critiquing the Western perception of the art form and how's it's altered over time. (read the first part here)
• Charles Hatfield, meanwhile, provides one of the best examinations of the work J.H. Williams I've seen yet.
• Think the AV Club's "best of the decade" list was too mainstream-heavy? Check out Paste Magazine's list.
• Forbidden Planet reviews and intriguing looking book entitled Badger: Then and Now.
• Tim Hodler reviewed a new biography of Herge for Bookforum magazine: "[It] fails to arrange the facts into a convincing, rounded portrait."
• Sandy Bilus didn't care for All and Sundry: "There simply wasn't enough meaty comics content to really sink my teeth into."
• Johanna Draper Carlson raves about the sixth volume of Oishinbo: "I'm loving this series about the wonders of food, cooking, and eating, and this installment is the best yet."
• J. Caleb Mozzocco reviews the first issue of The Order of Dagonet: "While it's a great concept, and it's laid out quite effectively in the first issue of what's to be an ongoing series, I have some reservations about the execution."
• Finally, both Jason Green and Richard Cook have a go at Image United.
• The Comics Comics crew are having another cage match, although this time they're calling it a round table, about Al Columbia's Pim & Francie book.
• Curt Purcell continues his examination of the Blackest Night event, this time looking at some of the tie-in books.
• Ng Suat Tong examines the pleasures of owning original art and how that can change our appreciation for a particular cartoonist.
• Also at HU, Noah Berlatsky looks at the psychosexual underpinnings of the superhero genre, and how it's shifted over time.
• NPR's Glen Weldon talks about why Neil Gaiman's Sandman series matters: "[It] remains one of the most literate, imaginative and intricately plotted accomplishments in long-form comics storytelling out there."
• Sandy Bilus recommends Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms: "The book never feels preachy, but it certainly forces the reader to focus on this issue and raises his or her level of understanding about what the people of Hiroshima have endured."
• Joe McCulloch compares/contrasts the new Astro Boy movie with the original Tezuka manga.
• Johanna Draper Carlson reviews the first volume of The Lizard Prince: "This manga, a romance in a magical fantasy setting, has enough humor to make it an enjoyable read for the young and young-thinking."
• Tangognat on Vol. 5 of 2oth Century Boys: "Everytime I pick this series up I'm reminded again how great it is."
• Tom Spurgeon once again beats everyone to the punch with a review of Joe Sacco's new book, Footnotes in Gaza: The first good news to report … is that the cartoonist is in top form throughout." He also has good things to say about Prison Pit.
• Christopher Allen offers 60 ways of looking at Watchmen.
• Critics critique critics — Robert Boyd reviews Bart Beaty's Unpopular Culture: "This is a thought-provoking book, and I recommend it to anyone who is interested in comics-as-art."
• David Welsh gets schooled in college manga.
• Rob Clough calls MK Reed's new book, Cross Country "the most complex, ambitious and visually interesting of her comics."
• Perhaps if I link to Sean Collins' review of Refresh, Refresh, he'll forgive me for accidentally (I swear) stealing the title of his review feature.
• Nina Stone enjoyed the first issue of Cinderella: From Fabletown With Love: "All the pieces of the story just started to fit together perfectly."
• Grant Goggans declares The Art of Osamu Tezuka "very highly recommended."
• Finally, Kristy Valenti looks at a 1999 graphic novel drawn by Mia Wolff and written by acclaimed sci-fi author Samuel Delany.
• David Welsh asks the people who know what sort of scary manga they'd recommend for Halloween reading. As expected, his panel comes up with a lot of good picks.
• Meanwhile, Ten-Cent Plague author David Hajdu reviews Robert Crumb's adaptation of Genesis for the New York Times:
For all its narrative potency and raw beauty, Crumb's "Book of Genesis" is missing something that just does not interest its illustrator: a sense of the sacred. What Genesis demonstrates in dramatic terms are beliefs in an orderly universe and the godlike nature of man. Crumb, a fearless anarchist and proud cynic, clearly believes in other things, and to hold those beliefs — they are kinds of beliefs, too — is his prerogative. Crumb, brilliantly, shows us the man in God, but not the God in man.
Over at Comics Comics, Dan Nadel calls BS on Hajdu's review: "One wonders why an author would persist in writing about a subject he clearly disdains and isn't interested in actually learning about, but I guess that's between Hajdu and his own idea of the sacred."
Go read the whole takedown; it's fun.
• Eddie Campbell has been offering one great critique after another lately, first on
Asterios Polyp and David Mazzuchelli's ability to convey a sense of place, and then on Rutu Modan's Exit Wounds ("The impressive thing about Exit Wounds is that there is a keen organizing intelligence at work at every single level of it, from top to bottom."
• Jeet Heer ruminates on the concept of the "proto-graphic novel," i.e. graphic novels that were published before the term became ubiquitous.
• It's a few days old, but this review of R. Crumb's Genesis adaptation by Bill Kartalopoulos is still well worth your time.
• I don't always link to Tucker Stone's "Comics of the Weak" round-up, but this one's worth noting, as he mimics the prose of "controversial French writer Michel Houllebecq," which leads to bits like this one on Batman:
Gotham City has but two types of people-those who wreak violence, and those who have violence wreaked upon them. The first type are all men, for the most part, although the occasional lesbian is permitted participation, as long as she has previously received approval from whomever currently holds the title of most cruel. (Said participation is usually considered an important story point, further cementing the little respect or interest that these stories have for women–there are few other places in fiction where "the bitch can stay" is considered interesting or dynamic.
• We'll start off by linking to Scott McCloud's recent article on how creators would be wise to pay more attention to criticism, even horribly, dismissively negative criticism of their work:
For myself, I always consider reviews useful—even the hatchet jobs. It makes my heart sink a little when I hear other artists dismiss all reviews as irrelevant to their process. A common claim is that reviews tell us "only about the reviewer" and tell us "nothing about the work," but I disagree. Yes, reviewers have biases. Yes, they miss the point sometimes. But there's always some kind of information embedded in any reaction to any creative effort.
I tend to agree with Mark-Oliver Frisch's comment that most criticism is intended for the reader, not the artist, but still, that's a really healthy attitude to have.
• Matthew Brady on Masayuki Ishikawa's Moyasimon, volume 1: "Not only is it actually quirkily charming, the torrents of educational facts actually turn out to be pretty informative." He's also got a nice review of Ken Dahl's Monsters.
• Let's start off with Jeet Heer's short piece on the cult of Nancy. It really is all about Nancy, isn't it?
• Also at Comics Comics: Dash Shaw re-examines a panel he was on at TCAF on alternative and mainstream comics.
• The Hooded Utlilitarian blog, which never met a critical roundtable it didn't like, is doing a series of posts on French comics. I like the name of the series.
• I would be remiss if I didn't point to our new fellow Robot 6er Sean Collins' review of Kazimir Strzepek's ongoing fantasy series, The Mourning Star.
Let's try to run through some of the more notable links of the past several days. My apologies if this is old news to you or I missed something.
• Kicking things off, I should note that the gang at the Hooded Utilitarian are offering an in-depth analysis of Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. In order: Noah Berlatsky, Ng Suat Tong, Tom Crippen and Von Marlowe.
• Ken Parille looks at the work of his fellow blogmate Tim Hensley, specifically his Wally Gropius series: "I can't think of another cartoonist who approaches space — and what we might call 'spatial color' — in such a rigorously strange way."
• Abhay Khosla talks about comics by way of crime novels:
So: a year from now, if we're unlucky and Vertigo Crime no longer exists, and some so-and-so is screeching that "None of youse fools on the internet people could have done better because we are geniuses who thought of EVERYTHING" … I would suggest that maybe one thing they could have done differently is launched their crime line with crime fiction…? Just a silly thought.
• Ng Suat Tong time again! This time he's over at the Comics Reporter, talking about how mainstream (i.e. DC and Marvel) comics tend to mostly be writer-driven these days, and how few of these big-name writers fail to utilize the medium well, using Frank Miller and David Mazzucchelli's Born Again saga as a comparison point.
If Bendis and Maleev's take on Daredevil falters at times in its disregard for the formal properties of comics, it is also guilty of rolling out age old tropes for the "revival" of superhero titles. One is left with the impression that mainstream comics writing has not only stagnated but in all likelihood regressed in the last decade becoming competent yet mediocre.
Lots more good stuff at the link.
• Abhay Khosla declares the "3 Jacks" story from Daredevil #500 "pretty much the best Marvel comic of the year so far, right?"
• Jog looks at Jacques Tardi's West Coast Blues and compares/contrasts its noirist tendencies to Darwyn Cooke's recent Parker adaptation: "Both books contain framing images of Our Man on the road, a socio-economic subtext, and a dénouement that nod toward the inscrutability of these hard men and their achievements. You'd swear this was a response to Cooke's book, if you didn't know it was an English translation of a French album from 2005."
Trying to play catch-up on some of the more notable reviews this week. My apologies if I missed anything.
• Bookforum has what I believe is the first review of Robert Crumb's Genesis book, penned by Jeet Heer no less. The magazine also has a review of Asterios Polyp by Dan Nadel and a look at "oddball manga" by Jog.
• Wowzers, the mighty Ng Suat Tong is blogging over at the Hooded Utilitarian! His first post (which looks to be part of an ongoing series0 is spent looking at the critics' various responses to Dash Shaw's Bottomless Belly Button.
• David Welsh is still crazy about Astral Project.
• Rob Clough looks at two new books from Sparkplug — Neptune and Sausage Hand.
• Guest blogger Sean Collins reviews the fourth issue of Flash: Rebirth. So, for that matter, does the Speed Force blog.
