Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Okay, all the way back to December of last year, the Marvel solicitations for March 2010 had information about the exciting new two-issue mini-series, BREAKING INTO COMICS THE MARVEL WAY! I talked about it last week and, while it was not exactly what I was looking for, it was a fun little book that was more like a 'Broke Into' than a 'Breaking Into' book. No matter, says I! There's always issue #2 and who knows, maybe they saved all of the, and I quote, "step-by-step submission information and a sample Marvel Comics script" for the next issue!
Yeah, not so much. No script, some important but pre-twittered intel on how submissions are handled, four tips big font and a 'go get 'em, Tiger!' letter at the end from Mr. Cebulski. I'm not saying this wasn't useful, but it's not exactly the step-by-step guide they promised. Maybe after they realized they hired 114 new freelancers, they decided to keep the best secrets for themselves.
Anyhoo, that's in the past and this week's present, let's talk about the future! June 2010 solicitations are out, so let's remember this all now so when June rolls around and there's any disappointment, we can all say we told ourselves so.
Okay, that was mean. Let's go enjoy some comics.
First up in big bold letters in the ground-breaking, long awaited, head-exploding goodness of the MARVELMAN CLASSIC PRIMER #1. Lauded up and down as the most fantastic body of work that no one could rightfully have or publish, its out of reach nature to new readers and treasured place in the hearts of old school fans should equate this simple primer to the equivalent of printing money. People are going to want this. You are going to want this (you know you do). It's going to be in some very important paper or news show on TV because for God's sake, it's 'one of the most important works of comic art in the medium's history'! Marvel's smart, they're starting us out slow with at a $3.99 primer before hitting us with the hardcover goodness they'd be fools not to deliver eventually, but this way everyone can get their glimpse into this important work.
In other historic news, the most ambitious point in the Women in Marvel celebration is the Heralds mini-series. Not like we've been expecting a glimpse of Frankie Raye recently (or maybe we have with Annihilation past us), but this is going to be a weekly series! That's right, after waiting like a well-poised gambler to see how the Distinguished Competition did with a weekly book, Marvel finally got their own. Mind you, they're a little late but better than never, right?
Women in Marvel continues on with yet another solo title for a heroine; Namora gets the spotlight this time from Jeff Parker and Sara Pichelli in NAMORA #1. I haven't lost my betting pool yet since I am still sure we'll be getting more tales of the newly christened Venus,; there's still time and, with appearances in the recent Hercules books, anything is possible. Both the artist and writer are solid and have done some pretty awesome work, but I'm still not sold on a Namora solo when Namor is actually pretty darned important to the Marvel Universe as of late. I'm currently far more interested in his story than I am in his cousin's. This could either help or hurt the book in the long run and we're just going to have to wait until June to see how that betting pool goes.
Part Soliel imprint, part X-Book, X-CAMPUS #1 (of 2) is an hereto unseen look at the X-Men from a sort of remix of our merry mutants from the high school scene by some of Europe's greatest comics storytellers. It's priced out of the range of the Young Adult idea that I mentioned before (no high-schooler is going to pay $4.99 for a comic!) and seems to be geared for the serious collector. I'm sure the serious collector would have rather gotten the Milo Manara X-project, but my guess this is something the writer really wanted to do and with the popularity of his books in Europe (Monster Allergy is also a Disney Italy property, so there might be some early cross-company promotion), how could one say no? I just wish it was priced for the age-group it seems to be aimed for.
Meanwhile, I'd like to admit I was totally wrong when I said it looked like Marvel would be trading their current four Avengers titles for four 'new' Avengers titles. Looks like that's going to be six as in June we'll be getting AVENGERS PRIME #1 (of 5) by, you guessed it, Brian Michael Bendis himself. So one book will be about black ops Avengers (Secret Avengers), training Avengers (Avengers Academy), the more 'popular' Avengers (New Avengers), the origins of the Avengers (Avengers: The Origin), more classic Avengers (Avengers) and then even more classic Avengers than those ones (Avengers Prime). Half of these books will be written by Mr. Bendis and will even include parts of a back-up story described as a 'brand new oral history of the Avengers chapter by Bendis'.
I'm feeling a little Deadpool fatigue here. I'm also starting to wonder if Bendis sleeps. Or if he just waits.
On a lighter note, it seems the Merc With a Mouth flavor of Deadpool will now be ending at issue #13, but don't worry! There's going to be a brand new Deadpool title starting up this month called DEADPOOL: WADE WILSON'S WAR, which will come out twice a month. Despite the extra book, it's only a four part mini, so maybe the tidal wave of Deadpool is finally receding back into a comfortable niche that fans can enjoy without breaking their banks. Or forgetting which flavor of Deadpool book they liked or which story he was in…
… oh man, it's going to get tricky reading Avengers books over the summer…
Enough complaining! Be grateful for the extremely well priced PUNISHER: FRANKEN-CASTLE – THE BIRTH OF THE MONSTER #1; at $4.99, it will be reprinting two crucial books for those still in denial and shock about the whole making Frank Castle a Frankenstein monster. No, they really did it and yes, it's actually pretty good so go see how they did it by picking up this reprint. Or just keep reading Punisher Max and remain in the dark, both Punisher books are excellently themed and well-written.
In a similar vein, HULK #23 totally promises to tell you the identity of the Red Hulk. And like Bullwinkle always told Rocky, "this time, for sure!" Considering how exposition heavy the Hulk books have been as of late, if you're still waiting for that one last clue and final answer on why we needed a Red Hulk and where Jeph Loeb was going with all this, then I really hope this issue pulls through and we're not sitting here with egg on our faces once again. After this, according to a telling cover to INCREDIBLE HULK #610, we might just be getting back to the heart of the Hulk we all know and love.
Ron Zimmerman returns to the Wild West, but knowing and loving him is optional. He did in fact write the cheeky Rawhide Kid: Slap leather mini-series in which Marvel Western staple and guy on the cover of the book, the Rawhide Kid, is revealed to be flamboyant. It got a Parental Advisory label and was shuffled away to the Max imprint because … well, I don't know. Maybe I'm naive, but I never saw anything Max-worthy in the book, but maybe this time he'll get it right and show some naked bits, big piles of drugs or gruesome violence. THE RAWHIDE KID #1 (of 4) certainly has the artist for it (Howard Chaykin) and a cast of notable Western heroes: "Kid Colt, Doc Holliday, Annie Oakley, Billy the Kid, Red Wolf and the most overrated gun in the West: The Two-Gun Kid!"
From the untamed West to Outer Space, THE THANOS IMPERATIVE #1 (of 6) from DnA is a welcome sight. Their space opera story keeps on rolling along from one arc to the next and much like, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, the current space plot has only been as interesting as they've been able to have a war. Annihilation is full of crazy, mad, and cunning dictators, and Thanos tops them all. Bringing in a world where there is no Death and pitting that against Death's biggest fan?
In other awesome news, THOR #611 will be Matt Fraction's first official run on the title with artist, Pasqual Ferry. This is like Christmas, my birthday and Wrestlemania all at once.
How could I say anything more? How could I think of anything more? Well, despite my status as Universal Thor Enthusiast, there is a lot more, from the Young Allies series by Sean McKeever to Hercules in the far-flung future with Hercules: Twilight of a God bringing back Bob Layton, Jim McCann getting the next best thing to a Dazzler series with HAWKEYE & MOCKINGBIRD #1 and more. Maybe June will turn out to be a month of awesomeness after all.
For the full June 2010 Marvel solicits, see the sights here and come back and let me know what I missed with my eyes all glazed over from the Thor #611 announcement. Excelsior!
Just to clarify, the Marvelman stuff that Marvel is currently reprinting, or plans on reprinting? That isn't the body of work that is in high demand, that isn't "Lauded up and down as the most fantastic body of work that no one could rightfully have or publish". They are reprinting, and at the moment only seem to have the rights to reprint, the Mick Anglo issues, which were little more than a Captain Marvel rip off (when Captain Marvel itself couldn't keep going).
The work that is highly in demand is the Alan Moore/Neil Gaiman series. We're still waiting to see if Marvel can get the permissions and rights together to reprint that stuff, though we're hopeful.
But I wouldn't say that this Marvelman Primer is like 'printing money' by any stretch.
Actually the Marvelman Primer sounds a lot like those saga books that they post online and have comic store give away for free. Still, I suppose they have to make money somehow and I doubt the premier hardcovers of the Mick Anglo stuff will be flying off the shelves. It's still unclear if they actually have the rights to publish the Moore stuff and that (and the Gaiman run) is the only reason anyone would be interested in the character in the first place.
I'm actually more bothered by them letting Zimmerman back into comics (and letting him get a hold of Two-Gun Kid).
The Namora book is actually just a one-shot.
Also, how much of a "primer" do you really need on Marvelman? It may be my ignorance as someone that has been unable to read the series talking but I was under the impression that "he's Captain Marvel, only British" pretty much covers it.
I don't know what is funnier… That you think Frankencastle is good, or that you are angry with people who don't jump off the cliff with you.
I would support you completely on your Thor enthusiasm, but I just cant get over the sleeves.
This is easily the most ridiculous batch of comments outside Newsarama.
And yeah, FrankenCastle is awesome.
Say what you will about Loeb's Hulk, but his long, overly expositional who-IS-the-goddamn-Red-Hulk has kept me coming back month after month despite my initial griping.
I think the fact that MODOK had been cloning himself may be a clue; i wonder if Red Hulk may turn out to be the original MODOK test-subject, George Tarleton (either the original, or a clone thereof) which could explain the mindless relishing in his newfound power early-on in the run, and Rulk's current & constant regret for showing-off so much earlier and not using his brains, etc.
Jeff Parker's "Fall of the Hulks" prologue issue was fan-freakin'-tastic, i'd LOVE to see him on this book if Loeb leaves after this story's run its course!

PhysX / CUDA / Mirror's Edge (cont.)
By default GTX cards are set to handle PhysX calculations, where available, however it is also possible to add a second Nvidia card to the system and nominate that to handle the non graphics workload. This leaves the primary card free to handle the 3D workload and should improve framerates. So, for example, in a situation where a consumer is upgrading from a GTX 280 to 295 the old card can be used as a PhysX processor. Shown above we have the framerates achieved when combining the 280 with the newer 285 and 295 and it is clear there are significant benefits to be gained from adding a second card. It does not have to be an expensive model which is added to the system though; a GPU such as the £40/$60 GeForce 9400GT performs very well in a game such as Mirror's Edge.
Giving statistics does not really help explain the benefits of PhysX and so below we have included a set of comparison videos which show some of the effects in Mirror's Edge with PhysX on and off. It should be reasonably easy to see the differences but some areas to watch for are the glass, blinds and debris which interact with bullets in the first corridor. The glass which rolls down the slope after exiting the building and sliding down part way and the smoke in the centre of the environment approximately 0.44 into the video. Given the performance of the GTX cards in this game there is no reason to turn off these effects in real world use, this video purely gives you a visual representation of what can be gained from running PhysX.

I totally disagree with this editorial. The editors did not address the
message, instead they attacked the messenger. If any progress is ever to be
made, the MESSAGE must be evaluated regardless of who the messenger is. No one
would disagree that Putin rose to power because he was a ruthless member of the
KGB, but should that keep us from considering what he said?
Obama is a disgrace to everything that represents America. If it takes someone like Putin to wake up America to that fact, then we should be grateful that Putin had the courage to tell us that Emperor Obama is wearing no clothes.
Obama has not listen to anyone since he took office. He lied about every major activity that he has handled. Until he is stopped, even by Putin, he will continue.
Does the Deseret News really believe that throwing a few missiles into Syria will do anything except extend Obama malfeasance? Just what would that do? It would put Syria on a war footing with Israel in the crosshairs. Are we willing to slaughter Israel so that Obama can regain face?

I think it is wrong for us to take sides when speaking about Russia-Georgia conflict. The logic goes like this - we do not like Putin, Georgia does not like Putin, so in case of conflict we side with Georgia. The relations between Russia and Georgia go back a long way, both the good and the bad, and are very complex. I have a hard time believing that the State Department that cannot even write "Reset Button" correctly in Russian would have the smarts to figure out what is going on between those two countries.

Oh come on. Putin attacked the idea of "American exceptionalism" which is practically the theme of the Republican party. This is just ridiculous... even when Obama acts like a conservative you all hate him.
" It would put Syria on a war footing with Israel in the crosshairs. "
Oh and not to spoil the little narrative you have going right now but Israel has already attacked Syrian territory to try and stop arms shipments to Hezbollah and Syria did not strike Israel in return.

I disagree with the DesNews Editorial. We have no business in the civil war in
Syria. There are multiple sides with multiple agendas of which we know little
if anything. We commemorate 9-11 and then are contemplating assisting the same
political and religious philosophy that motivated the actions of those guilty of
the deaths of so many people.
These are serious times and require mature leadership, perhaps some adults will come to the fore.

America used to be an exceptional nation. But Putin, Obama and liberals have completely misconstrued its meaning. America was exceptional because the vast majority of people who have lived on this planet have been subjects to dictators, kings, despots of big governments. America was the exception in that its citizens told the government what they could and could not do, not the other way around! The constitution they framed limited the power of government! That was the exception of America in all history; government by the people, for the people and of the people. That's why people flocked here because of freedom, liberty and self government. Obama and Putin think Americans are arrogant and think we are better than other people but they are wrong about what exceptional means.

Over the past number of years I have come to better understand the meaning of
American Exceptionalism. It means that every other nation shall abide by the
rule of law except us. Like it or not Putin is correct in his assessment of
American actions abroad. The USA is now regarded as the bully of the world.
Putin is also correct in stating that the terrorist rebels in Syria are not interested in democracy. It's only our fool government that believes that the Middle East wants to live by Western values and that the weaker side in a conflict must be the more moral side. It is sad that our community organizer president got outmaneuvered by a more experienced chess player, but the idea that we should go to war and kill people so that Obama can save face or "send a message" is sick beyond words.

Happy Valley Heretic,
You haven't been paying attention. The Neocons LOVE Obama. They support his every move on foreign policy. The Neocons (McCain, Graham, Bill Kristol) WANT a war in Syria. In fact, back when Obama was bombing Libya, Bill Kristol congratulated Obama on becoming a born-again neocon. The neocons want the NSA's surveillance state. They supported Obama's NDAA -- advocating indefinite detention without trial and due process.
It is the paleoconservatives who don't want war in Syria. The neocons have been losing influence in the GOP, heaven be praised.

Look at the facts. Obama rattled his sabre at Syria. He had (and still has) no
idea who used the chemical weapons. He believed one side and ignored the other.
There are still no concrete facts supporting Obama's decision to bomb
Syria's military infrastructure.
Obama claims that our Constitution is what makes us great, even as he ignores it. He told the world that the Republicans are destroying America, ignoring the fact that the PEOPLE of the United States elected those Republicans to stand up for the principles that America believes in. He refuses to execute the duties required of him. He uses "executive orders" to circumvent Congress. If he believes in the Constitution, his actions contradict his words.
Putin reminded Obama that the world does not support military action against Syria. That fact is easily checked. Only France said that it "might" join forces with the United States. No other 1st world nation has aligned itself with the United States.
Putin is a world leader. Honest people will listen to his words and then evaluate his statements against known facts. Sadly, Putin has shown the world that Obama is all bluster.

It is totally cool that Putin wrote to a US newspaper, and it got printed. Are
we afraid to hear what he has to say? I'm not, and no one in the US should
be. We value free exchange of ideas, right?
I do wonder if the State Department had to approve it, and if they edited it.
I also wonder if it may have been the result of that talk Obama promised Putin, you know, when he thought the mic was off and he promised they could talk more freely after the election.
Putin saved Obama's face in all this. He was either going to have to bomb Syria, against most the country, and the world's better judgment, or be humiliated. Putin's offer to negotiate getting the chemical weapons out through diplomacy saved Obama's face with the world and popularity in America. A win/win for Obama, but a lose for the US.
Make no mistake, Putin is in it for him and his. Russia totally looks like the reasonable, compassionate, rule of law country, and the USA looks like Hitler's Germany, trying to control the world and having a 'superior race' attitude.

You have totally misread my posts. I have not defended Obama against Putin. Putin is correct, no matter what his history or how he rose to power. He has shown the world who Obama really is.
Obama is wrong - totally wrong - in wanting to bomb Syria.
Obama is wrong - totally wrong - in citing his authority as commander in chief to bomb a country that has not harmed America.
Obama is wrong - totally wrong - in blustering on the world stage and telling us that "the world" drew a red line over chemical weapons. That was Obama's line. He, and he alone, is responsible for making that statement and he will reap the consequences of acting out his fantasies on the world stage.

There was a thread in the DN a couple days ago discussing what Patriotism
I guess to some, it means criticizing anything and everything the current POTUS does, while praising the leader of a country whose roots are communism.
Do I have that right, Mr Richards? (who writes)
"Obama is a disgrace to everything that represents America. If it takes someone like Putin to wake up America to that fact, then we should be grateful that Putin had the courage to tell us that Emperor Obama is wearing no clothes. "
Anyone think our founding fathers would have hailed statements such as this as patriotic?

Look at how many are following the Deseret New's editorial staff in
attacking others without even considering the content of the comments. I could
hardly believe that the Deseret News would attack a world leader - even Putin -
without discussing what he had written on THIS subject. Has uncivility come to
the point that we should throw out the baby with the bath water? Is that what
freedom of speech means?
Our heritage demands that we listen to the comments of others before responding and that when we respond, we address the comments made, without attacking the person.
Putin has skeletons in his closet. Those "skeletons" are between him, his people and God. They have nothing to do with his article.
Those who try to cite "founding fathers" had better fully understand what those founding fathers did. They stood up against the greatest power in the world and pledged their all to bring forth a new nation. They did not blindy follow King George (Obama) just because he was king.
We need to understand that and we need to respect those who have the courage to speak out against wrongdoing.

Putin's trying to assert his relevance in the modern world of geopolitics.
As a longtime ally of Syria, Russia stands to incite retaliation from terrorist
organizations, sympathetic to the Syrian regime by opposing it. So yes,
he's looking out for himself and his country, and he's leverage global
disdain for America to do it.
But no one can argue that they Syrian conflict is a complex one. I think there are too many variables to take a clear course of action. We're not even sure that if those fighting for control are going to be any better than the current government. Our intervention is not guaranteed to improve the situation. If we've learned anything from Iraq and Afghanistan it's that when we simply hand people their freedom, it doesn't mean as much having to fight for it (if freedom for all is the true goal of the rebels.) We may need to just let the Syrians sort this one out themselves, and perhaps our role should be to give humanitarian aid to all those in need.

Putin's points are:1. Under international law, force is allowed only for self defense or with the consent of the UN security counsel.2.Syria is not witnessing a battle for democracy. 3. Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya demonstrate that force can be ineffective and pointless. 4. If countries cannot count on international law for security, they will seek weapons of mass destruction for protection.5. No matter how targeted the strikes, there will be civilian casualties. 6. If we can get Syria to turn over its chemical weapons without force against the Syrian government, we all win.7. It is dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional. There is nothing audacious or misleading in his message.

Only 90 Wins, Just Enough
From the start, Mike Schmidt knew something was different. "They've done something to the ball," he said, following the Phillies opening night loss to Bob Forsch and the Cardinals, before 45,000 adoring fans at the Vet. After two straight 101 win seasons, Philadelphians were convinced – these guys were good. Not as good as before (90-72), but good enough to win the National League East for the third straight year. If they were not yet a dynasty, they were trending in that direction.
Schmidt was right about the ball – something was different. When all the numbers were added, subtracted, divided, compared, dissected , digested, and examined after season's end, even the most hard-nosed statistician would agree that, with more than 70,000 at-bats to look at, the differences were significant, statistically, or otherwise. Comparing 1977 with 1978, here are the numbers for selected categories:
Runs scored HR BA ERA
Phillies – 847 – 708 186 -133 .279-.258 3.71-3.33
League - 8,556- 7,742 1,631-1,276 .262-.254 3.91-3.57
Mike Schmidt 114-93 38-21 .274-.251
The viewing public was left to puzzle about what happened; but they were too busy to notice, caught up in the tight-skinned pennant race that ground down to the final four-game series in Pittsburgh. Beginning with a Friday twi-night doubleheader, the Pirates, after a furious September charge, were in position to win the pennant with a four-game sweep. Three games behind the front-running Phillies, they sent Bert Blyleven and Bruce Kison, out to hold the fort, against the Phillies' Dick Ruthven and Steve Carlton, needing only a single win to clinch the pennant.
In Game One, before 45,134 hopeful Pirates' fans, Willie Stargell's sixth inning 3-run homer gave the Pirates the lead, and the fans something to cheer about, but Bake McBride hit his second, two-run double in the seventh to tie it at four. Ron Reed began the ninth on the mound for the Phillies in a tie game. Pirates' catcher Ed Ott led off with a linedrive to centerfield that Phillies' gold glove centerfielder Garry Maddox misplayed into a base-circling winning run.
The second game pitching matchup of Carlton against Kison seemed heavily in favor of the Phillies, given that Kison was 6-6 on the year compared to Carlton's veteran presence and reputation. Bruce Luzinski homered in the second for the run that Phillies' fans hoped would be enough. Kison had other ideas; he was a .138 hitter with but three hits all year, but none of that mattered when he unloaded a game-tying home run in the 5th inning, to the stunned disbelief of the millions of people on the other side of the state of Pennsylvania who were watching on television and listening to announcer Harry Kalas lament, "Can you believe it?" "Hard to believe, Harry," came the reply from Kalas' announcing partner, Rich Ashburn.
Carlton was still toiling in the ninth, tied at one, determined to hold on for the pennant. But once again, the slick-fielding Maddox in center field made a crucial error. Dave Parker, led off with a double to center and went ot third on Maddox's misplay. Carlton loaded the bases on intentional walks to Bill Robinson and Willie Stargell. Warren Brusstar relieved Carlton and promptly committed a balk to end the game.
On Saturday afternoon, only 28,905 people showed up to see what might be the last game of the 1978 season. Or not. Willie Stargell was at it again. He got his team off to a 4-0 lead in the first inning with a grand-slam homerun off Phillies' lefthander Barry Lerch. Lerch took matters into his own hands after that by hitting a pair of 2-out solo homers in the 2nd and 4th innings. In the 6th, Jose Cardenal pinch hit for Lerch and struck out. "Hard to believe, Harry." Luzinski hit a 3-run homer for a 6-4 lead, and Rich Hebner's base-clearing double in the eighth padded it.
Down 10-4, the Pirates refused to give up, and got to Tug McGraw, who was trying for a three-inning save. Ron Reed relieved McGraw and fanned the fearsome Stargell, representing the tying run. The Phillies had won their third consecutive National East Division Championship.
The Phillies failed to reach the World's Series for the third straight time, falling once again to the Dodgers.

'Inception' Is No. 1 Film With $42.7 Million in Sales
The science-fiction thriller "Inception" was the top film at U.S. and Canadian theaters for a second consecutive weekend, taking in $42.7 million in ticket sales for Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros.
The Angelina Jolie action film "Salt" made its debut in second place with $36 million for Sony Corp., researcher Hollywood.com Box-Office said yesterday in an e-mailed statement. The weekend's other new film, "Ramona and Beezus," was sixth with $7.81 million.
"Inception," director Christopher Nolan's first film since "The Dark Knight" was released in 2008, is the third first-place opening for Time Warner this year. Sales were helped by critical praise, getting a favorable evaluation from 156 of 187 reviews compiled on the fan site Rottentomatoes.com.
"It's two things: fantastic word-of-mouth and solid repeat business," said Gitesh Pandya, editor of Box Office Guru LLC. "It's the kind of movie people want to see a second time. You don't necessarily absorb everything the first time around."
Leonardo Di Caprio plays a member of a special team that enters the dreams of others to steal secrets. Ellen Page and Marion Cotillard co-star. "Inception's" sales declined 32 percent from last weekend. The typical drop for most releases is 40 percent to 60 percent in the second week, Pandya said.
"It shows that the movie has terrific legs going forward," he said. "I think it's going to gross a minimum of $250 million just in North America and it has a reasonable shot of getting close to $300 million."
Warner Bros. ranks fourth among major studios in U.S. sales with $960.3 million through July 22, according to Box Office Mojo, a research company in Sherman Oaks, California.
In "Salt," Jolie plays a CIA agent who goes on the run after she is accused of being a Russian double agent. She must evade pursuers while trying to save the life of her husband. Liev Schreiber and Chiwetel Ejiofor co-star.
"Despicable Me," from NBC Universal, was third with sales of $23.7 million. The animated film tells the story of an underworld creature who conspires to steal the moon and features the voices of Steve Carell and Ken Jeong.
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice," from Walt Disney Co., was fourth with sales of $9.65 million. The movie stars Nicolas Cage as a sorcerer who recruits a younger aide to help him defend New York from a rival magician.
'Ramona and Beezus'
"Toy Story 3" was fifth with $8.92 million for Disney's Pixar studio. The sequel brings back Tom Hanks as the voice of Woody, who leads his toy companions in an escape from day care. The movie has had sales of $379.4 million in six weeks.
"Ramona and Beezus," which finished sixth, is based on the Beverly Cleary books and follows the adventures a young girl, Ramona Quimby. The film, from News Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox, stars Joey King as Ramona and Selena Gomez as older sister Beezus.
Weekend sales for the top 12 films rose to $155 million from $141.5 million a year earlier, Hollywood.com said. Year-to-date receipts total $6.49 billion, up 4.5 percent from $6.21 billion. Attendance has fallen 2 percent this year.
The following table has figures provided by studios to Los Angeles-based Hollywood.com. The amounts are based on actual ticket sales for July 23-25.

text: So the problem is that you are trying to #include templateName where templateName is a runtime variable. This is only a guess, use cheetah-compile to verify: The template is compiled in awake. The included code gets compiled into the cheetah template instance. By default the cheetah template instance only changes if you edit a template file and the template recompiles. chaging the value of T.body changes the instance variable of the current template, BUT THE TEMPLATE ITSELF is still the original include. dynamic #includes are a PHP type hack. Cheetah provides templates as classes so you should do something like siteMain.template <head>... #block body I am a default page - listing #end block moduser.template #from siteMain import siteMain #extends siteMain #implements body Template inheritence or nested templates are the way to go for your issue. -Aaron ps: I could be wrong so I am cc'ing the Cheetah Template list, since this is a Cheetah issues, not Webware.

In deference to the personnel needs of Circuit Court Probation and the lack of existing resources; Ionia County is, effective immediately, suspending operation of its mental health court.
The personnel commitment and thereby trying to do more with less; the lack of funding, available resources and dwindling attendance at mental health court team meetings; probably made this action essentially inevitable.Please understand this is not a knee jerk response. For a long time, the lack of resources and the alternative increased use of incarceration has been a legitimate concern. Sending a person with mental health issues to prison to utilize the services available in prison or via the prison re-entry program is too often the best option for the probationer, but is still wrong, for all of the obvious reasons. And, now understanding the personnel commitment by the probation department to the specialty courts, it�s a decision whose time has come.A special thank you to everyone for your time and effort in trying to make our mental health court the best it can be. It was and is appreciated.

Some mathematical challenges in materials science
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Four challenges to mathematics research posed by the field of materials science are given, plus an additional challenge purely from the field of geometric measure theory. The problems all concern the effects of surface and grain boundary free energy: motion by weighted mean curvature and/or surface diffusion and/or other kinetics, proofs of minimality of soap bubble clusters and their anisotropic analogs, shapes of crystals in a gravitational or other field, incorporating data from simulations into mathematics, and understanding flat chains modulo . The figures are selected copies of transparencies presented at the lecture on which this paper is based.

Hindoo Holidayby J.R. Ackerley
View All Available Formats & Editions
In the 1920s, the young J. R. Ackerley spent several months in India as the personal secretary to the maharajah of a small Indian principality. In his journals, Ackerley recorded the Maharajah's fantastically eccentric habits and riddling conversations, and the odd shambling day-to-day life of his court. Hindoo Holiday is an intimate and very funny account of an exceedingly strange place, and one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century travel literature.

Ackerly has accessed a place where foreigners are usually not entertained:the Indian psyche.There are cringing flunkies and charming fellows here which urban Indians and foreigners travelling around India often encounter. But the real twist in the tale comes because of Ackerly's singular ability to make people act naturally in front of him,and show them their true colours.This ability alongwith his ability to write honestly and unjudgementally enables him to reveal to us the flesh-and-blood characters who think, feel, and live like many people we intimately know. Books about India often deal with the spirituality, the monuments, the culture, the color, and the royalty, of India.They make you believe there are no people real living there but interesting, obsequious, colorful characters who go all out to earn their Bakshish by pleasing the moneyed outsider.They are handled humourously or politely and patronisingly lest the hospitality stops on the next trip.Books like EM Forste's'Passage to India' and other fiction about Raj goes to other extremes to make up for this sketchy and shallow treatment of Indians in literature, and make their Indian characters a tad too rounded. Ackerly, surprisingly for his day and age, avoids all cliches, is hardly impressed by any monuments or traditions. His focus is people( one could also say men or boys) and he hardly has time for anything else but the idiosyncracies of the Maharajah whose personal secretary of sorts he becomes during his visit to Chokrapur(Chokra means Boy, nudge, nudge...), or the eccentricities of hindi teacher, the sagacity and balance of the prime minister and other the beauty and charm of beautiful youngmen he befriends or often feels spurned by.His involvemnet with the Indians he meets is intensely personal and plumbs such depth which acompanies relationships between people of the same colour and kind. His colour blindess and his complete imperviousness to 'difference' makes him come across as very contemporary. This a must read for all Indians, for they will be surprised at the sexual glasnost of the Chokrapur of the 1920s, and will be able to find characters whom they could easily relate with ( and most closely with Ackerly himself for his values and attitude are of any young urban Indian of today)as they crave freedom from superstition and strict religious code and are rearing to embrace westernization. For others who want a fresh look at a over-hyped and worse-for-wear cliches here is a book with insights and a view which one can never trade for all the descriptions of the Taj Mahal.

About MeI can be reached by email at email@example.com or on here.
I am currently looking for models to update my portfolio in all styles and categories.
I am willing to travel depending on the details of the situation.
I am very easy going and try to make my shoots as fun as possible. If you're not comfortable I'm not comfortable, I see this as a mutual privilege and will make sure that you WILL be treated with courtesy and respect. Escorts or a friend are always welcome as long as you are only bringing one. No one needs a bunch of people in the way or causing distractions on a shoot. I have a ton of great ideas for some theme and concept shots but I am definitely open to any and all ideas from my models, sometimes they are better than mine.
"My philosophy"
We are all visual creatures and we size everything up with our eyes, some eyes just see day to day life where other eyes find the extraordinary amidst the ordinary, the ability to frame a scene and freeze it just for a moment to capture what would have been missed by the average eye. All it takes is for one image to strike a cord deep within you and inspire deep thought or take your breath away or maybe ignite the fire within you that you thought had been long dead. Art and inspiration are locked together in a symbiotic relationship where each one feeds the other and to dance with both those partners is what it means to be truly alive. No matter the medium; paint, music, dance, acting, modeling, sculpting or photography, we are drawn to these things because deep down inside we know we were all born to create and it is through creating that we find a sense of purpose and happiness. When we share what we create our sense of purpose and happiness is magnified.
Beauty is everywhere and in everything, you just have to look at things with new eyes. I want to provide people with new eyes to see the world with.
I want to explore new Ideas and try new things, have fun and think out of the box, take conventional concepts and turn them upside down and not be afraid to make mistakes because some of the most brilliant and captivating art has been born out of those same mistakes.
This life is a journey and it is what we see and experience on this journey that makes all the difference in the world. You just have to ask yourself one question. Will your journey be better with your eyes open or closed?

Can I get a WHAT's UP! Entertainment Weekly reports that Martin Lawrence recently inked a deal with CBS to star in a new comedy pilot that if picked up would air this fall. This would mark Lawrence's first television role of any kind since his self-titled sitcom "Martin" ended after five seasons in May 1997. I guess making Big Momma's House sequels doesn't pay well enough to live on anymore.
All kidding aside, the currently untitled project stars Lawrence "as a widowed father of two teenagers who, after losing his job in construction, decides to go to the police academy and become a cop at the age of 46." Playing a wise-cracking police officer should come quite easily for Martin at this point. Two of his most well remembered film roles include playing a criminal masquerading as a cop in "Blue Streak" and of course starring opposite Will Smith in Michael Bay's popular "Bad Boys" franchise.
For a network built on the back of various cop dramas, it's actually kind of surprising to me that it's taken them this long to try a cop comedy. Casting a name like Lawrence pretty much guarantees that the pilot goes to series (the man still has his fans), so we'll all get to see whether the show sinks or swims this fall. This project could be just the boost that Lawrence needs to re-invigorate his career after a long line of box-office stinkers like College Road Trip, National Security and Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins. More and more it seems that when a Hollywood star fades, the next course of action is to get their own primetime TV series.
Do you want to see this "Bad Boy" back in action running the streets? Or has Lawrence already burned his bridges with you?

Spent a wk at dreams and loved everything about it. We went with our family and the kids did not want to come home. I can't find anything wrong to say about this place. My kids loved the kids club and all the activities they offered. I came home with so many craft and gifts from the club. Vanessa, Johanna, Alin, Adela, and all the girls were fantastic. My daughter loved them. They had the kids do a fashion show and a mini disco as the pre show of the night. I felt very safe leaving my kids there. All the doors are locked and no parents are allowed in except at 9:00am and the pager system works awesome. The food was good at all the restaurants and buffet. I liked that they had sit down restaurants at the pool for lunch and not only buffet style food. You could stay at this resorts for weeks before eating the same thing twice. The restaurants were all well decorated and fun. We had the most fun at the Mexican restaurant with Alfredo), super fun guy and great with the kids. The entertainment at the Mexican was also amazing. We sat outside at the Japanese restaurant and the table was great. You sat on cushions on the ground. Very lovely and quiet....the kids were at the kids club when we went. Another great waiter at the Japanese. The coco cafe was fun for a mid afternoon frozen coffee and a sweet treat. The heated pools were a nice touch. The bathrooms were always clean and very fancy. The kids loved the sinks in the lobby bathroom. The rooms were very nice. We had a deluxe garden view which was facing the ocean. It seemed as though most rooms had a ocean view or partial view anyway ( if you were on the second floor or higher). The plunge pools never seemed to be used by people. I never saw anybody in them. Water felt cold. Glad I didn't pay for the plunge pool. The beach was nice. Went snorkelling out front and saw a few colourful fish. My husband found a beautiful star fish and a large shell with a living fish inside and crabs which the kids loved. The beach bar was the best. The service was great. We befriended Alberto ( with his secret special drink) and Pablo. Very friendly and had a great conversation with them one afternoon. If you see Alberto ask him for his special drink. Best drink ever but very strong. Yummy!! Alecia was the waitress around the pool an worked so hard. She was amazing. Always asking if you needed drinks or water. All in all, this was a fabulous resort. Remember you're on holiday so relax and don't sweat the small stuff.

We didn't have any trouble at all with the assembly of this bench like a previous customer posted! The drawers are really nice for storing things like scarves, gloves, hats, and socks that you might want to have handy by the door as you are sitting on the bench and putting your shoes on (or taking off). It would be nicer if the shoe cubbies were a bit larger so you could store large shoes or boots inside.

Phyllis Schlafly Claims 'Russians Are Warming Up To Religious Freedom Just As Americans Are Rejecting It'
It seems that Eagle Forum founder Phyllis Schlafly has gotten on board with the Religious Right's admiration of Russian President Vladimir Putin's increasing merger of his government with the Russian Orthodox Church.
In her radio address this week, Schlafly laments that it "certainly was a shock when the president of Russia lectured Americans that we are 'becoming godless.'"
"Russians are warming up to religious freedom just as Americans are rejecting it," she warns, claiming that "that the atheists are trying to censor all mention of religion out of every public place and event."
Schlafly might want to speak to a few Russian Protestants before she celebrate's Putin's embrace of religious freedom.
It certainly was a shock when the president of Russia lectured Americans that we are "becoming godless." In his last "state of the nation" speech, Vladimir Putin told Russia that the United States was moving away from Christian values. Back in the 1980's, Ronald Reagan was making similar comments about Russia!
So is the United States still one nation under God? In a recent article, Dr. Ben Carson says yes. Americans still live in a culture that operates under many of Christianity's basic assumptions about life. But with increasing numbers of Americans becoming reluctant to mention God in public, we are in danger of forgetting our roots and discarding our rights. The liberals are trying to use the 1st Amendment as a weapon to silence religious speech. But to whom is the 1st Amendment directed? It says "Congress shall make no law." The 1st Amendment binds the hands of Congress: it doesn't restrict the rest of us.
So if Russians are warming up to religious freedom just as Americans are rejecting it, what does this mean for the United States? It's clear that the atheists are trying to censor all mention of religion out of every public place and event. If we do nothing, if we allow the atheists to eliminate God from our culture, we will be rejecting the principles that made our nation so great. But if we embrace our heritage, the principles that launched America will guide us strong into the future.

BS in Genetics.
Started learning PHP as a hobby in 2004. I love it so much that now I do it as a profession.
Started as a procedural coder, but now fully into OOP.
I started with CodeIgniter, and while it was a good introduction to frameworks, I quickly outgrew it. I then switched over to Laravel. For all the times I felt like I had to hack the framework to get things to work in CI, I've not run into that issue yet in Laravel, and I'm loving it.
Really enjoy contributing on Github.
Always interested in learning more about programming.

In a new league
Badruddin Ajmal, the perfume baron who founded the AIUDF in Assam, and Dr Mohammed Ayub, the orthopaedic surgeon who launched the PPI in UP, are unsparing in their criticism of mainstream secular parties like the Congress and Samajwadi Party, whose failure to address the aspirations of the Muslim community is the chief reason for their rise.
"These parties are ready to take Muslim votes, but they do nothing for Muslims, " says Ajmal who prefers to describe the AIUDF as a party led by a Muslim rather than a Muslim political organisation. His objective, he declares, is to ensure that the community gets commensurate political representation, which it has been denied despite its numbers. "According to the percentage of Muslim population in India, we should have 86 MPs. But in this Lok Sabha, we are only 28, which is just a little over five per cent, " he points out. He adds that his target is to make a splash in the Lok Sabha where critical decisions regarding the welfare of Muslims and other backward communities are taken.
Ayub is vitriolic. "The Congress is no different from the BJP," he declares. "They follow the divide and rule policy of the British. Both have exploited the religious sentiments of Hindus and Muslims to make them enemies. But Muslims have seen through their game."
Like Ajmal, Ayub too prefers to describe his party as a secular force that believes in social justice for all. He points out that one-fourth of the 21 candidates he fielded in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections were non-Muslims. He intends to stick to the same ratio in next year's assembly polls in UP.
"We are fighting not just for Muslims but all backward sections. We want Dalits, Muslims and other backwards to govern so that the spirit of the Constitution is properly implemented with social justice for all," he says.
Both parties have a long way to go. While the AIUDF has made a mark with impressive electoral gains in just six years, the PPI so far has acted chiefly as a spoiler for the Congress and the SP. But it has managed to establish its credentials as a pressure lobby for the Muslims. Worried by the growing political strength of the PPI among the weaver Ansari community, the UPA government announced a Rs 3, 000 crore welfare package in the 2011-12 budget and the Congress has promised to waive Rs 700 crore of electricity dues if it wins UP in 2012.
Both leaders scoff at concerns about communal polarisation. "Why should there be polarisation?" asks Ayub. "We are citizens of this country. Our children need computers and mobile phones. They want a good life, like everyone else. What is there to fear? Muslims will play a positive role in governance."

oh dear - its only £8.99 to download right now - surprised its not been mentioned in here!
i have the disc - the game has been hard to find at least in the UK for more than just a few months - try a few years!
the last time i sold mine i got around £25 for it and that was in 2010 - i bought it back earlier this year from zoverstocks (music magpie sales) for £16 i think it was and thats a really good price. im half thinking of selling it and just downloading it as its not a game id ever regret owning that way. the only problem is, no manual and no map with the online, and i doubt anyone buying the physical copy will be happy with game and case only.
ill probably just stick to the disc edition - really should play it again, i originally bought bully on ps2 and never touched it. then i rented it for the Wii when it came out and i spent ages on it before returning it when the game got tough for me late on. im sure id be better at it now, but when i played on 360 i recall having a hard time with early boss fights and maybe i just wasnt used to the controls.
its a great game and anyway you get it, its money well spent. infact i just realised i have it on Wii as well which i picked up when Game went bust for £3 - a fair difference to the xbox price!

The Baltimore Ravens are a proven defensive juggernaut.
But can they be a legitimate offensive juggernaut, too? Thanks to some key additions, Ravens offensive coordinator Cam Cameron believes it's definitely possible.
"If we had our way, we'd like to lead the league in scoring and lead the league in ball security," Cameron said in a telephone interview with ESPN.com's AFC North blog. "I think being in the top five in that this year is realistic."
If Cameron's vision of an elite, high-scoring offense becomes a reality in Baltimore, the rest of the NFL has a major problem on its hands.
Few teams have the potential to be as stout on both sides of the football in 2010 as the Ravens.
The acquisition of three-time Pro Bowl receiver Anquan Boldin and the growth of third-year standouts Ray Rice and Joe Flacco have Baltimore's offensive expectations at an all-time high. And the Ravens' stellar track record on defense is well-documented: They've ranked in the top six defensively for 10 of the past 11 years.
But despite Baltimore's consistent success, the franchise has struggled for years to win offensive shootouts. As recently as last season, teams like the Indianapolis Colts have given the Ravens fits because the opposing offense was good enough to put up points and the Ravens' offense couldn't keep pace.
This offseason, it was the goal of Baltimore's front office to put together a roster that could win in a variety of ways, which includes high-scoring affairs if necessary.
"There are going to be times during a game where the defense has to carry the offense, just because you have those days. And vice versa, when the offense has to carry the defense," Boldin told reporters during minicamp. "For me, I love to play with a great defense, because they get you the ball. As an offense, you want the ball as much as possible."
There has been plenty of debate in Baltimore about whether Cameron can keep everyone happy this season. With the exception of Flacco, every starting offensive skill player for the Ravens has at least one Pro Bowl on his résumé. That means there's plenty of talent but also plenty of egos to massage.
It was challenging enough in recent years to get adequate carries for Rice, Willis McGahee and Le'Ron McClain. Now the coaching staff has to worry about the running backs and an assortment of talented receivers and tight ends in the passing game.
One of the biggest tasks for Cameron this offseason is to determine well-defined roles for Rice, McGahee, McClain, Boldin, Derrick Mason, tight end Todd Heap and former first-round picks Donte' Stallworth and Mark Clayton. It will take a lot of work to fit all of those players under one scheme. But Cameron knows it's a good problem to have.
"Joe Flacco and I were talking the other day, and he said, 'Cam, we're not going to have any issues because we're going to be winning,'" Cameron said. "I thought that was a great statement by him. Guys just want to win, and they want to be involved in the game plan.
"I think we got an outstanding coaching staff, and we'll make sure every guy knows every week that they got a chance to help us win the game and help determine the outcome of the game."
Cameron added that Baltimore's staff is already discussing this topic with its players. It seems the Ravens are being very proactive with one of the few drawbacks that comes with being loaded with talent.
This offseason was about making sure Flacco has enough weapons to help fully reach his potential in his third season. In addition to adding Boldin and Stallworth, the Ravens also drafted pass-catching tight ends Ed Dickson and Dennis Pitta to join Heap.
But Boldin is the centerpiece of Baltimore's newfound offensive optimism. Cameron said the receiver looked as good as advertised in minicamp and appears to be a natural fit. The Ravens plan to use Boldin similar to the way the Arizona Cardinals did by allowing him to utilize his ability to run after the catch.
"He's productive on all three downs, he's productive in the scoring zone and he's tough-minded, which is the Raven way," Cameron said. "He's fun to watch in practice. I'm really looking forward it."
There's a lot to look forward to this year if you're Cam Cameron. This is the deepest and most-talented offensive unit he's had in his three seasons in Baltimore.
On paper, the Ravens have the potential to be an elite offense.
If Cameron finds a way to make all of these pieces work together as a unit, it could be a special year in Baltimore.
