Actavis to Pay Up to $13 Million to Resolve Digitek Lawsuits
Actavis Group hf, an Icelandic maker of generic drugs, will pay as much as $13 million to resolve claims that it failed to warn consumers that its Digitek heart pill was defective.
Actavis agreed to create a $10 million fund as a base and add as much as $3 million more if 98 percent of people with Digitek claims participate in the settlement, Gerard Farrell, a U.S.-based spokesman for the closely held drugmaker, said today in an e-mailed statement. Enough consumers already have taken part to push the settlement amount to $12 million, according to three people with direct knowledge of the accord.
"Only those individuals who are able to demonstrate actual harm will receive compensation," Farrell said.
Actavis officials agreed in September to set up the settlement fund to resolve as many as 3,000 lawsuits alleging the Reykjavik-based company misled consumers about Digitek, used to treat heart failure and abnormal heart rhythms, the people said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to speak publicly about the accord.
The settlement, which also covers suits against generic-drug maker Mylan Inc. over its marketing of Digitek, provides an average recovery of at least $4,000 each for consumers who took the defective drugs, the people said. Actavis and Mylan recalled Digitek in 2008 after finding some batches of the pills may have had double the amount of chemical they were supposed to contain.
"That is not a lot of money, especially when the allegations are that users were seriously harmed by the defective version of this drug," said Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond in Virginia who teaches classes about mass-tort cases. "These amount to nuisance-value settlements."
Michael Laffin, a Mylan spokesman, didn't return a phone call and e-mails today seeking comment on the settlement.
Digitek is a form of digitalis, a chemical derived from the foxglove plant that has been used as a heart medicine since the 18th century. The medication is sold generically as digoxin and excess dosing can cause dizziness, low blood pressure and death, U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials said at the time of the recall.
In April 2008, Actavis recalled Digitek after finding that some of the pills the company produced were double the appropriate thickness and contained twice the approved level of digitalis. The company said it also had received almost a dozen reports of adverse side effects tied to the drug.
Federal Suit
Federal officials sued Actavis in November 2008 for failing to comply with FDA standards in three U.S. plants, including one that produced Digitek. That case was resolved by an agreement between the company and government lawyers a month after it was filed, Farrell said today.
A majority of the suits over the heart drug have been consolidated before U.S. District Judge Joseph Goodwin in Charleston, West Virginia, who is overseeing pre-trial evidence-gathering in the cases.
Lawyers for consumers alleged the production problems at Actavis's New Jersey plants caused some of the Digitek pills to be defectively produced with a double dosage. Actavis made the drug and Mylan, based in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, marketed it in the U.S.
Some plaintiffs' lawyers soured on the cases after struggling to find any of the double-dosage pills on the market or in their clients' medicine cabinets, the people familiar with the settlement said. The companies still were willing to pay to settle the cases to hold down litigation costs, Tobias said.
"They can get the majority of these cases resolved and avoid spending a ton on legal fees defending themselves," the law professor said.
Mylan Dismissed
Mylan "will not contribute monetarily to the settlement, but it will be dismissed" from any settled cases, company officials said in an Oct. 28 regulatory filing.
Goodwin on Nov. 8 approved Actavis's motion to set up a Digitek settlement fund. The company had until Dec. 1 to withdraw if too many consumers opted out of the settlement process, according to the people familiar with the accord. So far, more than 20 consumers who sued Actavis and Mylan over Digitek decided not to join the settlement and pressed ahead with their claims, the people said.
Billionaire Icelandic investor Bjorgolfur Thor Bjorgolfsson and his company Novator acquired Actavis and took it private in 2008. In June, the company named Claudio Albrecht, the former chief executive officer of Ratiopharm GmbH, as its new CEO.
The case is In re Digitek Products Liability Litigation, 2:08-md-1968, U.S. District Court, Southern District of West Virginia (Charleston).

SDCC: Marvel: Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends Panel
Comic Books
In a lengthy and fascinating article in the Indian magazine Open, Devika Bakshi explains why the close-ups of penises were pixelated in the Indian version of Chester Brown's Paying For It, while the long-shots, and other body parts, were left alone.
Indian law says a work is obscene "if it is lascivious or appeals to the prurient interest" or if its effect is to "deprave and corrupt" anyone who sees it. There are exceptions, though, for works with redeeming features (I'm paraphrasing here; the full text is at the link), works that are used for religious purposes and "any representation sculptured, engraved, painted or otherwise represented on or in (i) any ancient monument within the meaning of the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 (24 of 1958)."
That means all versions of the Kama Sutra, even the cheesy ones, are protected, but more modern works of a similar nature are not. Police recently raided the Hachette offices because they imported Letters to Penthouse and a book on sex positions.
With regard to Paying For It, Brown's frank graphic memoir of his encounters with prostitutes, the book itself doesn't seem to be a problem so much as the specific imagery. VK Karthika, the publisher and editor-in-chief of HarperCollins India, explained that Brown's penises were obscured not because they would run afoul of the censorship laws but because she was "making sure the text was not hijacked away from its context" into a discussion about obscenity. She seems to have failed, because we're talking about it anyway, but Bakshi's article is a fascinating look at the distinctions people draw in a culture with legal prohibitions on obscenity.
The laws are so vague in India that it really comes down to "if someone important gets offended." Once some traditional dancers whose bellies were showing went to jail because someone in the audience kind of remembered reading an article one time that the song they were exposing their bellies to was Gandhi's favorite song and that's just DISRESPECTFUL, man.
Wow, that's crazy!
There are so many things that offended me about that book that honestly, the penises are the least of it.
We can't judge. All civilizations are equal, right? How dare we.

text: Posted February 27, 2012 I can't wait until Huddlers stop worrying about other QBs possibly being good. Such a complex the Huddle is starting to get. This... It's like we can't just be happy we have a great young franchise QB for the future... we have to crap on any other player that is also projected to succeed. RGIII, Luck, Barkley next year can all be great QB's. I'm sure Cam is not worried about either one of them, and neither should we. At the end of the day we will let Cam's play on the field and wins speak for themselves. I also hope we get away from this Cam is God, while any other young or other QB is trash and just worry about us. I get from Cam's personality the he is confident enough in himself not to worry about other QB's and their comparisons to him.... True Swag. I hope that swag of his starts to rub off on some of our fan base. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shine on stage. Not in the basement.

In 2009, more Guitar Hero guitars were sold than actual ones. We thought that was kinda crazy, so we created this poster campaign for Sparrow Guitars to remind people there¹s just no substitute for the real thing.

writer should break a guitar over their own head. a toy one, or a real one.
What about people who play real guitar and play rhythm-games for fun?
Oh my god you guys are way to sensitive! Try reading the fine print under the image where it says "in 2009, more Guitar Hero guitars were sold than actual ones..." Then think about the ad. It's just like all those "get out and play" ads they've got goin. In my opinion this is very clever.

IE indeed sucks majorly. And its marketshare isn't going down fast enough. If you're the content developer there are many libraries for working around the problem of IE not natively supporting SVG. If you're not the developer but just the consumer of the content it becomes more tricky but there's still Batik and several plug-ins (Adobe, Renesis, etc.) Can you put an IE-plugin wrapper around Batik maybe?
FYI - all browsers except IE now support a very decent amount of SVG. Furthermore, the html:object can support 'fallback' content for those browsers that don't support the SVG format. So actually no browser sniffing need be used. You can see the clip art or icon menu on my site for a working exmaple (compare IE vs Firefox vs Opera vs Safari).

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Water-weary residents of several central U.S states are girding for more rain and possible flooding after a week of intermittent downpours dumped as much as 15 inches in some locations.
The National Weather Service predicts heavy rainfall and says there's a flood risk through early Saturday across southeast Kansas and southern Missouri. More rain is expected into next week.
In Oklahoma City, a 60-year-old man drowned early Friday while trying to rescue a relative who was stranded by floodwaters. Police say the man was swept into a drainage canal. The relative, who was stranded in a car, escaped without injury.
Authorities in southwest Missouri say a woman who died Thursday morning while attempting to drive across a flooded creek near the town of Jane was 69-year-old Helen Pendergraft of Noel.

Central Avenue in North East Minneapolis is a bustling corridor lined with businesses that offer a wide variety of services and exotic foods. There are also some empty storefronts and vacant buildings. A group of people who live and work in the area are trying to change that through the formation of a cooperative focused on development. Individuals buy into the co-op and their money is pooled to start projects. Eighty one members are in the group so far, and last week the North East Investment Co-op announced that it has signed its first purchase agree
Safia Ahmed is a Registered Nurse in Toronto. As a volunteer for the Twin Cities based American Refugee Committee, Ahmed has assisted in saving lives at a hospital in Mogadishu and has raised 70 thousand dollars to support the hospital's maternity ward.
On a recent visit to Minnesota, Safia Ahmed told KFAI's Kirk Mattson about her journey from her birthplace in Somalia, to India where she was educated as an accountant, to Canada and then eventually back to Somalia. The seeds of her homecoming were planted as she watched television coverage of the humanitarian crisis in Somalia.
President Obama visited St. Paul on February 26, 2014. He spoke at the newly restored Union Depot and presented it as an example of what federal and local partnerships can do, while also promoting what he calls his "Opporunity Agenda". KFAI's Janis Lane-Ewart was there, and told host Paul Brohaugh about the president's visit on the Thursday edition of The Morning Blend.
President Barack Obama came to Minnesota on February 4th to tout the city's success in reducing gun violence. He used the setting to make a case for expanding background checks for gun purchases, and to place limits on the purchase of certain kinds of firearms and high capacity clips.
The results are in for the 2012 election, and President Barack Obama has been re-elected.
Here in Minnesota, two controversial Constitutional amendments failed to get enough votes for approval.
President Barack Obama has chosen Minneapolis as an example of what successful gun control looks like. Here are his remarks, given at the Minneapolis Police Operations Center on Monday, February 4th, 2013.
This year's Art-a-Whirl in Northeast Minneapolis will feature a 9 foot tall sculptural work called "Ode to Gluten". The creator of the sculpture is two-time Minnesota Art Teacher of the Year Barbara Bridges. Mentored by Women's Art Resources of Minnesota (WARM), Bridges took on the project with the intention of staring a conversation about wheat – its past, present and future role in our diet.
She talked with KFAI's Dale Connelly.
Two residents at the Minnesota Sex-Offender Program in Moose Lake are seeking a same-sex marriage. Moose Lake is a secure treatment facility – the people there are technically not in prison, but they're not allowed to leave without supervision.
As a result, the Minnesota Department of Human Services has had to formulate some new policies. KFAI's Rico Morales has a report.
The Upper St. Anthony Falls lock closed for good at midnight on June 9. KFAI's Paul Brohaugh decided to take one last run down the lock, about an hour before the congressional act to close the lock took effect. Here he is in a 17-foot canoe, along with his friends Kyle, Philip and Russell.

|L-R: Harold Roundtree, CEO of UNCLE CU; Chung Bothwell, Board Chairman of UNCLE CU; Lecia Roundtree; Rep. Eric Swalwell, D-CA; and Rick Hanan, CEO of SMW 104 FCU
Swalwell represents California's 15th Congressional District and is in his first term representing the area.
UNCLE CU CEO Harold Roundtree offered hosting space to the congressman, since several members were expected to stop by and use the credit union over the holiday weekend.
Having served in office only eight months, Swalwell has quickly emerged as a true friend of credit unions. He has co-sponsored H.R. 688, legislation to raise the member business lending cap, and has taken a strong stance in support of credit unions' tax-exempt status.

Marinated Red Onions and Dressing
Total Time
24hrs 5mins
Prep 5 mins
Cook 24 hrs
The onions themselves are awesome in salads, on pizzas, in pasta salads, or on sandwiches. The "leftover" marinade makes the perfect base for a salad dressing. The tangy sweet combination is addictive.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 red onion
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1⁄2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon thyme
- 1⁄4 cup olive oil
- 1 teaspoon mustard
- salt
- pepper
- For the onions: slice thinly and separate the rings.
- Place in a small bowl or plastic container with a lid.
- Pour the honey and vinegar on top and add the thyme. Shake.
- Place in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours, shaking when you think about it. (To speed this process up, place in the microwave for 2 minutes. Onions will be ready in about 30 minutes but not as rich).
- To serve, add to salads or sandwiches.
- Take the last of your onions and the marinade and place into the blender.
- Add olive oil and mustard. Blend until smooth. Taste. Add salt and pepper as you see fit.
- You may feel the need to add a bit more honey (or just use honey mustard). Now you have sweet onion dressing.

LOS ANGELES (September 9, 2013)--A 10-year-old boy died after suffering a severe head injury when the modified golf cart in which he was riding overturned in an exclusive gated community north of Beverly Hills, authorities said.
The boy died Sunday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, about two hours after the crash in Beverly Park.
Fire Department spokesman Brian Humphrey said two men and three boys were riding in the car when it overturned.
The boy was taken to the hospital in grave condition, but the other occupants were not injured.
LA Police are investigating the wreck but could provide no further details.
Beverly Park is a private gated community known for its large homes and famous residents, including Magic Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson.

Egg Free Mayonnaise Recipe and Video How-toCondiments, Sauces and Dressings, Videos
One of the very first videos I ever filmed for this blog was how to make healthy, homemade mayonnaise. In the nearly three years since this video was first published, I have received numerous requests for an egg free version.
At long last, here is a delicious egg free mayonnaise that I have devised after a bit of experimentation. The recipe not only uses no eggs but can also be dairy free too if desired. Egg free mayonnaise definitely comes in handy if you are out of eggs and your local farm pickup is still a few days away!
If you have an egg allergy, making your own egg free mayonnaise is really a must because the ingredients in the commercial egg free mayo brands that I've examined are nothing short of frightening! Even homemade egg free mayo recipes typically use soy milk or tofu which are certainly far from desirable ingredients especially if you value the health of your thyroid!
In this recipe, chia seeds soaked in water that thickens into an egg white-like gel is the egg substitute. Chia seeds are low in phytic acid and so are fine to use without any special preparation. Flaxseeds could also be used if desired as flaxseeds also become gel-like when soaked. However, the flaxseeds would need to be strained out prior to using in the mayo recipe whereas the chia seeds are so tiny they don't require filtering.
Let me know what you think of this egg free mayonnaise recipe if you have a chance to try it out. My husband loved it just as much as my regular mayonnaise recipe using eggs!
Egg Free Mayonnaise
1/2 cup whole yogurt or heavy cream (use coconut yogurt for dairy free version)
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (sources)
1/3 cup expeller pressed coconut oil (sources)
1/3 cup cold pressed sesame oil (sources)
1 Tbl chia seeds (sources)
1/4 cup filtered water
1 TBL fresh lemon juice or apple cider vinegar (sources)
1 tsp dijon mustard (sources)
Large pinch of sea salt (sources)
Stir chia seeds into quarter cup of water and let sit for about 5-10 minutes. After the water thickens and the chia seeds become gel-like, add to a food processor along with the yogurt, lemon juice, dijon mustard and sea salt.
Slowly drizzle in the cup of oils mixed together (warm coconut oil on the stove slightly to liquify if necessary) as the food processor is pulsing which will emulsify the oil with the rest of the ingredients.
Strain out chia seeds if desired.
Use immediately or refrigerate for up to a week. If the egg free mayonnaise becomes overly firm in the refrigerator, simply leave on the counter for a few minutes to warm slightly and whip with a fork before using.

Hi, Great recipe; if I were to adjust it to make lacto-fermented mayo, what do you recommend?
do you have a recipe for your original mayo with eggs? cant find it on the website
clever idea with chia seeds. i too have egg white & yolk allergy. I only wish i could find dairy free yogurt without toxic carageenan addiive. It's been used since 1940s in lab rats to "cause" digestive inflammation & damage. IBS come to mind? Google about Ray Peat & his reasearch on carageenan.
ninette dsouza
hi, we do not get chia seeds here but there is a seed called tukmaria in farsi, which leaves a gel like chia when soaked can that be used, or flaxseeds is available but then flaxseed goes rancid very quickly so please advise. tks
Rachel R.
I had no idea that a gel-type egg substitute like this would work in mayo. (I did think I remembered something else being used as a binder in an emulsion at some point, though…can't remember what or where. Mustard, maybe? But that's already in mayo, so who knows?)

Would ground chia seeds work as a thickener as well vs whole chia seeds? It would just save a step of straining them out.
Mine is very strong tasting of coconut. Should I just use poorer quality coconut oil?
I have had trouble finding a good recipe for mayo–all too runny. Interestingly, I used eggs in place of the chia seeds: perfection. Thank you.
wow your pretty and hot
I started my LID yesterday diet.. NO IODINE, NO DAIRY AND NO RED DYE#3. Have to do this for 3 weeks. Have radiation on the first of May for Thyroid cancer. I miss mayonaise and sour cream…well among other things too…lol. So far this is the only recipe I have found that looks appealing. Going to TraderJoes to find flour and chips that I will be able to eat. Thanks for posting. Will like to check more of your recipes. Would you mind if I posted some of these for others having to do this diet? Thyroid cancer website has a free cookbook for for cancer patients? Thanks so much! Now I can eat a tomato sandwich….I will survive!

Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive learn something like this before. So good to seek out someone with some original ideas on this subject. realy thanks for starting this up. this website is something that's needed on the internet, somebody with a little originality. useful job for bringing something new to the internet!
I'm excited to see this recipe, since my 2yo is intolerant to both eggs and dairy. In the past, I haven't had much luck getting my pastured egg mayo to emulsify. I believe it's because the eggs and/or coconut oil were not exactly at room temperature. Is this recipe tricky to emulsify also, or does it emulsify a bit more easily because eggs are not involved? Do the ingredients need to be at room temp before mixing?
Forgive me, but what' wrong with the vegenaise variety? It's gmo-free…is it the rice syrup or safflower oil that you take offense to? I do not have time to make everything and thought this was pretty low on the totem pole of offensive pre-made options…educate, please thanks!
Unfortunately I need to avoid soy and like the soy free vegannaise. Unfortunately the canola oil in it a highly processed rape seed oil and very unhealthy.. Why can't manufactures just use good oil?
Very cool Video! I used to make eggless mayo when I could not tolerate eggs but using slightly different recipe. For regular mayo, I only use egg yolks (2 yolks, 1 TB vinegar, to 1 1/4 cups oil) but for lacto-naise 😀 I use 1/2 milk and 1 cup oil. The trick to this one is to heat the milk to body temperature then add to blender, etc. Proceed as with regular mayo except that you add the acid (vinegar, lemon, etc) AFTER you make the mayo to avoid making the milk split into curds and whey!!!! I have never tried it with coconut milk though!!!
Just an idea in case anyone has trouble sourcing chia seeds!
hi Sarah,
I love your web site and I usually just use this site for everything I need pretty much.
Can you tell me how I can purchase a good quality olivde oil and coconut oil. I want to star using coconut oil for cooking and olive oil for salads thus I need a trustworthy site to buy it from.
Thanks you,estrella

Can you add a tablespoon of whey and let it ferment for several hours before refrigerating to extend the shelf life?

Sarah, I'm wondering if people are having browser compatibility issues with your resource page. I use Firefox and I've always been able to view them fine. Just checked again to make sure, and yes, all the resources show up for me.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
It's their browser settings. The resources page shows up fine for me too.
Hi Sarah,
Do you have a flour that is soaked and sprouted that you can recommend for recipes when soaking isn't possible? I tried to check your resource page but there were just categories there and no link to click on.
Thanks in advance!!!
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Yes, my resources page under "flours and grains" has vendors that sell sprouted grain which you can grind yourself or already ground sprouted flour. I don't put brand names or links to specific vendors in the comments section as there are multiple vendors on my resources page and that wouldn't be fair to the others.
Ok. Thanks, Sarah! One more question… Is it neccesary to soak sprouted flour/grains in an acidic medium to reduce phytic acid OR can I use it straight without soaking since its sprouted?
Likewise, I have never found any resources listed on your Resources Page — just a long listing of categories. Am I doing something wrong? Can you really see company listings on your Resources Page? Thanks.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
You must have Java enabled in your browser to show the listings. Try another browser or check your browser options and make sure java is turned on and the ad blocker turned off.

A very nice recipe for those who cannot eat eggs. Actually, this looks so good that I think I will try it even though I thrive on pastured eggs!
Lisa Douglas
I'm a little confused about what the chia seeds are for and when you strain them out. I'm assuming it helps with texture, but if you don't want little lumps you can take that part back out?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
The chia seeds are so tiny you really don't even feel the lumps in there. You can see them but not feel them when you eat the mayo. Filter them out after you make the mayo if you like. You can't filter them when you've just made the chia gel as the gel is so thick it won't go through a strainer.
How do you filter them out? don't they get pulverized by the cuisine art when processing?
i'm wondering about this as well…could you answer this, Sarah?
Coconut yogurt? Never heard of it before. Is it homemade? Is it kefir made from coconut milk? Sarah, could you please clarify? Thanks in advance.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Many healthfood stores carry coconut yogurt. I also have a video recipe on this blog for coconut kefir made with coconut milk. That would work also. http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/video-coconut-milk-kefir/
The Fats & Oils section of your resource page is empty. What is the website for that olive oil?
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
Let me check on this .. there should be at least 2 companies listed there. Perhaps a temporary technical problem.
Sarah, TheHealthyHomeEconomist
All fixed now! Thanks for letting me know!
Does anyone know how long chia seeds last in the frig? Mine are about 15 months old but have been kept cold. Do they go rancid like nuts?
Hi Teresa, I found this on the natural news website about chia seeds.
Shelf life: Chia seeds easily store for 2 – 4 years without refrigeration, and 4+ years if refrigerated. They only require a dry, cool location. Better yet, chia doesn't go rancid very quickly like flaxseed does. And if you grind chia into a chia meal, it still has a long shelf life (1 – 2 years), unlike flax meal which goes rancid in less than 90 days.
After opening, I keep all seeds and nuts in the frig or freezer depending on how often I use them. I've had flax seed in the frig for at least a year and a half, no problems at all.
Chia seed can be kept for years, if kept cool, dry and dark. they are loaded with anti oxidants that help preserve themselves. we have had chia for 5 years and it has not gone rancid.

Shouldn't you be able to keep this as long as the yoghurt or cream is good for?

Probably so … but I just wanted to be on the absolutely sure side regarding the freshness of the mayo's taste.

Funniest person in class
The kid who makes u laugh with raw humor is the class cloun
Steve tarafından 8 Mart 2005, Salı
A class clown is someone that has a huge amount of confidence (but some might just be conceited).They are the ones that make students laugh to get attention. It is class clowns that are well known and sometimes even part of the popular kids. They tend to have a bit of a vendetta against teachers or those of higher authority.
As soon as a teacher leaves the class clowns are the ones who will go berserk

Johnny was the class clown in my 10th grade class years ago. He ended up shoveling cow shit/ranch hand in Nevada, as a career.

Because he had heard from many residents who were concerned about code enforcement issues in their neighborhoods, County Executive Ike Leggett appointed the Code Enforcement Work Group to study such issues and make recommendations. The 74-page report recommended sweeping changes that will ultimately result in a better quality of life for residents and safer streets and neighborhoods.
Earlier in the year, another bill supported by Leggett was passed that prohibits parking heavy commercial and recreational vehicles on public roads in residential areas.
Four measures from the County Executive were introduced last May at the County Council.
One measure, Bill 23-09, which limits the storage of inoperable, unused and unregistered vehicles in residential neighborhoods to 30 days, was enacted by the Council on October 6.
The remaining three measures awaiting Council approval are:

|"Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" will be the next DC Universe animated feature from Warner Bros. following July's "Green Lantern: First Flight"
Jeph Loeb is presently writing two top-selling books for Marvel Comics with âHulkâ and âUltimatum.â But before he moved to the House of Ideas, Loeb was selling 100,000-plus copies a month of âSuperman/Batmanâ for DC Comics. It was recently revealed that Loebâs first arc on the blockbuster book, âPublic Enemies,â penciled by fan favorite Ed McGuinness (now his creative partner on âHulkâ), is set to be Warner Bros.â next original DC Universe animated feature after the release of âGreen Lantern: First Flightâ in July.
CBR News checked in with Loeb to see how much heâs involved in the project, and who he thinks would be the best choices to voice the two iconic characters.
CBR: You must be thrilled to see âSuperman/Batman: Public Enemiesâ coming to life in animated form?
Jeph Loeb: Itâs the greatest! Ed and I had so much fun on that arc, to see it âliveâ will be very, very cool.
When you wrote the story back in 2003, did you ever think, âMan, this would make a great movie,â live-action or animated?
Well, because I work in TV and film and animation, hell yes! Did I think it would happen? Hell no!
Does it get any bigger than a story starring Superman and Batman?
Are you reading âUltimatum?â But seriously, âPublic Enemiesâ is a pretty massive story. Iâm curious as to what theyâre going to do with it.
So youâre not involved in the project?
They asked me to write the script and I really, really wanted to, but I was on âHeroesâ and my schedule was just too full. So, no, I havenât had anything to do with it. But, Iâm a huge Bruce Timm [Executive Producer] fan, as he knows since I dog him at conventions, and Iâm sure heâs going to make it even better than the comic.
|The new film is based on Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness' "Superman/Batman: Public Enemies"
What about McGuinness? Is he involved?
I spoke to Ed this morning and he told me they had approached him to do designs, but his schedule was too full, as well. We both wouldâve loved to be involved.
Do you know if Warner Bros. is sticking pretty close to your original storyline?
Donât know, but it appears so. When I was talking to Gregory Novak, the exec at Warner Bros. who covers DC, they wanted to stay as true to the original material as possible. That included it looking like Edâs style.
Who would you love to hear voicing the iconic lead characters?
Just get me the cast from âBatman: The Animated Seriesâ and âSuperman: The Animated Series.â Those guys rock. [The roles were played by Kevin Conroy and Tim Daly, respectively.]
Do you know if there are any plans to adapt any other âSuperman/Batmanâ arcs as animated features?
Donât know. The âSupergirlâ story, particularly if they do it in [artist] Mike Turnerâs style, would be awesome.
From âSmallvilleâ to âLostâ to âHeroes,â youâve been moving from genre hit to genre hit for the past six or seven seasons. When will we hear about your next television project?
Sooner than you think.

Records bill clears Senate panelBreaking News
On March 14, 2007, by a vote of 333-93, the U.S. House of Representatives approved H.R. 1255.
In November 2001, President George W. Bush issued Executive Order 13233, which gave current and former presidents and vice presidents broad authority to withhold presidential records or delay their release indefinitely. The Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2007 would nullify the Bush executive order and establish procedures to ensure the timely release of presidential records.
The National Coalition for History is asking everyone in the historical and archival community to contact their U.S. Senators to ask them to urge Majority Leader Harry Reid to bring the "Presidential Records Act Amendments of 2007″ (H.R. 1255/S. 886) to the Senate floor. All Senate offices can be reached through the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202)-224-3121....

Greetings, my fellow port swillers!
Sorry for the recent dearth of posting. Long story short is that we had yet another basement flood since my last one, finally driving the Eldest Gel to remove herself from said basement and move back into the upstairs bedroom we had been using as an office. (I nearly herniated myself hauling things up and down the stairs.) I don't care to reestablish the computer in the basement until we get this water biznay sorted out, so I am essentially off-line at the moment. Indeed, I only have access right now because I needed to re-up my past-due car registration before the Ogpu got me. I hauled the computer and printer back up to the gel's room and am currently typing off the top of her dresser and will have to disassemble it again as soon as I log off.
Anyhoo, sooner or later I'll be back to regular posts. In the meantime, help yourselves to the decanter and the stilton is over there on the sideboard.
Greetings, my fellow port swillers!
Yes, ol' Robbo is still around, although I confess that I have yet to finish the bottle of port I got in for the Christmas festivities. (Some reveler I am.)
Anyhoo, I may have missed some regime change, but why will Safari and iMac suddenly not let me copy and paste Innernet links or YooToob videos? (I was going to do a retrospective on the late David Bowie's song "Changes" and ol' Robbo's varsity crew winter training at the People's Glorious Soviet of Middletown, CT back in the day, but the ability to insert links suddenly seems to have disappeared from my screen.)
What gives?
UPDATE: Oh, I think I see. Whereas previously the link to a specific page at, say, Amazon automatically appeared in the, er, linkie bar, now it just says "amazon.com" and you have to click again to get the specific page address. Or something.
Greetings, my fellow port swillers!
Regular friends of the decanter will know what a Luddite ol' Robbo is as a general rule, so I warn you now that you may be in for a bit of a shock. Yes, I now seem to own an iPhone.
You see, for years and years now, to the extent I have used a cell phone at all, I have relied on an old Motorola flip-phone. Why? Because it was the one given to me when we first got cell service and I've never bothered to upgrade, largely because I avoid the phone whenever possible and it always seemed adequate for the few times I've been forced to use it. (In fact, I still don't even know my own cell number.)
But if you'll scroll down a bit, you'll see some pics I took on my recent trip out West. There, I was using a work-issued iPhone and decided to try out the camera function. I have to admit that I rayther enjoyed it, although I realized that with a work phone, I was very, very limited in the sorts of things I could photograph and transmit.
I mentioned this casually to Mrs. R this weekend and it proved to be all the encouragement she needed to go and raid the Apple store. There, she got an upgrade for herself, and arranged for me to take her old iPhone as a hand-me-down.
So I've been fiddling with the thing off and on today. All I really wanted above and beyond basic cell service was the ability to take pictures and post them. And does it work? Well, here is the scene from this evening (and, indeed, most early evenings here at Port Swiller Manor) that I took while playing with it a while ago:
I hope you like it, as I would like to make my own pics a more regular part of my blogging. (But this is absolutely as far as I go, technologically speaking!)
By the bye, how on earth do these calling plans work? From what Mrs. R tried to tell me, it sounded as if Verizon paid her to do this double-switch. Either she's pulling my leg, or there are some strange, strange metrics that go into the pricing.
Greetings, my fellow port swillers! A rainy Saturday morning at Port Swiller Manor allows me to duck mowing the lawn and instead bore those two or three who still gather over the decanter with my first impressions of the great state of Wyoming, or at least of its south-easternmost parts. (Ol' Robbo was taken camping in Yellowstone as a toddler, but that hardly counts.)
This area is pure High Prairie, the westernmost part of teh Great Plains lapping up against the Rockies, and resembles, in large part, nothing so much as the Ocean. George Armstrong Custer puts it rayther well in the early part of his "My Life on the Plains":
Starting from almost any point near the central portion of the Plains, and moving in any direction, one seems to encounter a series of undulations at a more or less remote distance from each other, but constantly in view. Comparing the surface of the country to that of the ocean, a comparison often indulged in by those who have seen both, it does not require a very great stretch of the imagination, when viewing this boundless ocean of beautiful living verdure, to picture these successive undulations as gigantic waves, not wildly chasing each other to or from the shore, but standing silent and immovable, and by their silent immobility adding to the impressive grandeur of the scene. These undulations, varying in height from fifty to five hundred feet, are sometimes formed of a light, sandy soil, but often of different varieties of rock, producing at a distance the most picturesque effect.
The constant recurrence of these waves, if they may be so termed, is quite puzzling to the inexperienced plainsman. He imagines, and very naturally, too, judging from appearances, that when he ascends to the crest he can overlook the surrounding country. After a weary walk or ride of perhaps several miles, which appeared at starting not more than one or two, he finds himself at the desired point, but discovers that directly beyond in the direction he desires to go rises a second wave, but slightly higher than the first, and from the crest of which he must certainly be able to scan the country as far as the eye can reach. Thither he pursues his course, and after a ride of from five to ten miles, although the distance did not seem half so great before starting, he finds himself on the crest, or, as it is invariably termed, the "divide", but again only to discover that another and apparently higher divide rises in his front, and at about the same distance. Hundreds, yes, thousands of miles may be journeyed over, and this same effect witnessed every few hours.
In fact, thanks to modern speed (80 mph speed limit, baybee!), these "gigantic waves" do seem to chase each other wildly. I've been on the Plains before, mostly in Illinois and Iowa. I've driven between Omaha and Lincoln. Because I flew in and out of Denver on this trip, I got a chunk of Northern Colorado, too. But it was only once I got into Wyoming, especially north of Cheyenne, that I really got the full effect, most of these other areas being either urbanized or else thoroughly tamed farmland. It was absolutely humbling – wave after wave after wave of land, all under an enormous sky. However, it was not all plain sailing, because these hills are also broken up by a succession of creeks and rivers.
Greetings, my fellow port swillers!
For those two or three of you who still gather over the decanter on a regular basis, I just wanted to let you know that I will be away on biznay travel this coming week, arriving back at Port Swiller Manor some time Friday afternoon. (Eastern Wyoming this time, in case you're interested, an area I've never visited. My plan is to fly into Denver and drive up so that I can see a bit of the country.)
A few months back, Ol' Robbo's employer took away his Blackberry and wished on him an iPhone. Although I generally hate change, and although I particularly hate the zombie-like stare that seems to come over so many iPhone users, it occurs to me that at least said iPhone has a camera, and that there's really no good reason I perhaps can't take some snaps on it and post them here. (Teh Middle Gel promised to show me how.)
So start looking out next weekend for some pics. I 'll see what I can do.
In the meantime, as always the port stands before you along with the walnuts and, as always, the Stilton is on the sideboard. Feel free to tuck in.
UPDATE: Wake the kids and phone the neighbors, ol' Robbo has arrived home safe and sound. And yes, I did take some pics and yes, I will put up a post this weekend incorporating them. (Not that I've been exactly inundated with requests, but I put nearly 700 miles on the rental car this week traveling about terra incognita, so you'll get Uncle Robbo's slideshow, and you'll like it!)
In the meantime, a couple travel notes: I find that my irrational fear of flying grows steadily weaker for some reason. Alas, all that brain capacity freed up now finds itself contemplating the more mundane hardships of commercial aviation, the crowds, the petty indignities, the endless blaring of CNN. I'm not sure if the trade-off is worth it.
Coming back this afternoon, the fellah sitting next to me – who I gathered was from abroad – tried to give the stewardess his cup and napkin, inadvertently putting them in the wrong bag. "We recycle," she snapped. "Some people don't….but we do."
After she passed, I let out a snort. The fellah turned to me and shrugged.
"Let that be a lesson to you, young man," I said, waiving my pen ponderously.
He shrugged again and muttered, "Nobody has ever been that rude to me here."
Friendly Skies, indeed.
Oh, and on a more serious note, because I avoid CNN and USEless Today, I only got some of the details of the Marine massacre in Tennessee this afternoon. God help the victims and their families. One question: Has anyone checked to see if the shooter had a Confederate flag?
Greetings, my fellow port swillers!
Mrs. Robbo left this morning to go visit her parents for a couple days, teh younger gels are off at summah camp and I hardly ever see the eldest anymore, so this weekend is effectively just your host and his menagerie. Woo Hoo!
♦ Thanks to what was a pretty strong consensus here, I ordered a new set of headphones for my musickal evenings this morning. Thankee muchly for your recommendations. It only took me two months to get around to it. Procrastinate we much?
♦ Speaking of electronics, I find myself hating smartphones more and more. I especially despise the zombie-like way everyone seems to stare at them, oblivious to their surroundings.
♦ I see where Phil Austin, who played Nick Danger for Firesign Theater, died this week. My college roommate first put me on to these guys and I wound up buying a couple of their albums. True, it's dirty hippy stream-of-consciousness drug humor, but it was still pretty durn funny. (I say "was" because I had cassette tapes, now long gone, and it must be close to twenty years since I last listened to them.)
♦ I also see where the Vegas odds-makers are betting Robbo's beloved Nationals are going to win it all this year. I dunno, but since we just got done sweeping both the Bucs and the Braves, I'm starting to get excited. [Insert obligatory "Great kid, but don't get cocky" here.] We're supposed to start a series against the despicable Phillies this evening, but I don't know if the weather is going to cooperate.
♦ Fence guy is coming tomorrow to slap up some wire on the fence in the Port Swiller backyard, thereby allowing us to literally let Daisy off the leash on occasion (under supervision, of course, in case she proves a digger). We decided against the whole Invisible Fence thing because of the price and the complexity and because I'm unwilling to try training her on it when she's already so skittish around me. The squirrels and the woodchucks are in for a nasty surprise.
♦ Speaking of the back yard, ol' Robbo demonstrated his apparent genius for stumbling across yellow jacket nests yet again the other evening. I was throwing up a tarp against a corner of the house where we think water is getting into the basement again and thumped down a paving stone literally within two inches of one of their burrows. Fortunately, a storm was rolling in and it was already quite dark, so even though I disturbed them, they only came out sluggishly and I got away without being stung this time.
Well, also speaking of the back yard, time to go mow it before the rain rolls in. Whatever terrible nooz comes out today, I'm not going to let it ruin things for me. Don't you let it, either.
UPDATE: Done and done. Everything's mown, trimmed and blown so it can rain now 'til its eyes bubble for all I care. And, Eldest Gel, who has been working all week at her church's vacation bible school, is bringing me home an egg, cheese and bagel sammich. FTW!
Ol' Robbo hadn't checked the port-swiller email account for a long, long time, in part because it filled last summah with musick and religion spam, in part because I forgot all about it and in part because it took me a long time to recall the password once I remembered the account.
Well, I just overcame all that and clapped eyes on some very important stuff for the first time, some of it months old – those of you who sent it will know who you are and (I hope) now understand why I didn't respond earlier. I'm not a calloused jerk, just a bit of a doofus.
Again, my apologies and I promise to be more diligent in the future!
Well, fellow port swillers, as I type this post teh Middle Gel is off at her school's Winter Formal (or "WinFo" as teh kids seem to call it), hopefully having a grand time. I only got to see her for a second earlier this evening – Mrs. R had her out getting her hair and face done and she only had, literally, five minutes to dash back into Port Swiller Manor, throw on her dress and dash out again – but she looked grand.
Fortunately, through a horse-trade too complicated to explain here, Mrs. R is tasked with tonight's chauffeuring duties, so ol' Robbo finds himself sitting in front of his Mac, a glass of the Laphroaig 10 y.o. at his side and a set of trio sonatas by Johann Baptist Georg Neruda (1707-1780) on the ol' CD player.
If this isn't Blog Nirvana for a traditionally-minded fellah on the eve of hitting the big 5-0, I'll be damned if I know what is.
Anyhoo, some observations:
♦ We've had the Mac on which I'm typing this post for a couple years now and I say again: I. Hate. Apple. For reasons completely incomprehensible to me, whenever I touch the mouse I enter into a zone of random chances that the screen is going to enlarge or shrink or shift left or right or vanish altogether, usually with absolutely no hope of getting back to where I started without losing what it was I was doing. Damn that. Technology should be absolutely clear and deliberate, not vague and anticipatory. This is how SkyNet is going to kill us all.
♦ Yet another story today on a familiar theme: Multi-billionaire who gave a lecture about American's 'needing to have less things and live a smaller existence' owns a staggering FIVE mansions… including the nation's most expensive home. Of course. As the Puppy-Blender likes to say, when the people who tell us there's a crisis start acing like there's a crisis, I will, perhaps, start to listen.
♦ Yes, it's properly "fewer things" instead of "less things". However, pointing out such sloppy errors these days probably constitutes "grammarian micro-aggression" and therefor constitutes a hate crime.
♦ Speaking of which (the GloBull Warming bullet, not the grammar-Nazi one), go check out this link at Ace's. Yes, indeed.
♦ Ol' Robbo made himself get on the elliptical this afternoon for the first time in quite a while. 45 minutes, 3.25 miles, 400+ calories. I'm afraid that I've got rayther flabby in the last year or two – both physically and mentally – and have decided to use my impending milestone birthday as a reason to get back in the game. I must say that the endorphin rush, first acquired back in my college varsity days, feels mighty good.
♦ Good friend of the decanter Diane mentions that she recently has cleaned up her own blogroll. This reminds me that, really, I ought to do the same here, as many entries on the port swiller lists have gone dark or moved. It's hard, though. In part, Robbo hates change and will cling to old clothes, old shoes, old books and old blog friends long after they have fallen apart, and doesn't like to accept the fact that they've done so. Indeed, there's a specific, individual reason why I linked to most of these blogs in the first place, and I am frankly saddened to see each of them end. In part, also, I'm also too damn lazy to fiddle with the workings.
♦ On the other side, I again remind those two or three of you who gather here that if you think there are other blogs out there that might tickle the port swiller fancy, you are invited to send them along. Always more room on the ol' blogroll for them, and we welcome as many voices as care to chime in.
♦ Maybe it's just an age thing, but despite the fact that we have not had all that bad a winter so far in the neighborhood of Port Swiller Manor, ol' Robbo pines for spring this year much more than he can remember doing so in the past. On the other hand, another Alberta Clipper is set to hit the area tomorrow night and into Monday. Ol' Robbo is not so trenchant in his desire for warmer weather that he wouldn't mind a delay or closing on his birthday….
Yes, I am kinda shallow.
Welp, it's getting latish, so I should wrap this up and go check my, ah, firepower. Just in case Middle Gel's date did not adhere to the standards one would expect of a young gentleman. You know:
Greetings, my fellow port swillers!
My apologies, to those two or three of you who come round here, for the lengthy absence. Verizon guy just left after installing the new outlet in Robbo's upstairs study/eagle's nest. We're back, baybee!
Regular posting will resume shortly, so watch this space…….
Greetings, my fellow port swillers!
As I mentioned in one of the posts below, this past weekend Mrs. R and I went down the Washington National Cathedral to hear its combined choirs (including the Middle Gel, in her first year as a senior chorister) and orchestra serve up Handel's Messiah. Oddly enough, although I have heard the piece many, many times in various recordings and have seen live performances of parts of it, this was the first time I'd seen it live all the way through.
Well, it was glorious. No other word. Canon Michael McCarthy, who helmed the thing, is a veteran of John Eliot Gardiner's Monteverdi Choir and of The Sixteen and knows his period performance stuff from soup to nuts, and it definitely showed in the snappy tempi, the crisp sound and the subtlety and intimacy that can be found even in such a big piece. (My introduction to Messiah was an old record of a performance from some time in the early 60's by some big Irish orchestra and choir that the Old Gentleman would play for us every Christmas season. It was a super-sized dirge compared to this and other more recent historically-informed recordings and performances.) Of the professional soloists, I didn't care all that much for the soprano but the other three were quite solid. And the professional men – who take the counter-tenor, tenor and bass parts of the choruses – were as reliable as they always are. (They regularly sing with the girls for Sunday services and weekday Evensong.)
But the focus for me, of course, was on the boys and girls who handled the soprano part of the choruses and on the Middle Gel in particular.
We sat four rows back from the stage and on the Gel's side, so I could see her quite clearly behind the bassist. And I was enchanted.
I had already noticed this fall that, after a couple years' experience at the Cathedral, the Gel was really beginning to step up, to transition from just getting through without audibly screwing up to really beginning to make her presence felt. Her performance here did nothing but confirm this impression to me. She positively radiated confidence and engagement, and I could distinctly pick out her voice more than once. And on top of all that, she was obviously enjoying herself. Indeed, at the end of many of the choruses, our eyes would lock, I would nod and she would grin.
All in all, a wonderful thing.
On a somewhat unexpectedly bittersweet note, from time to time during the performance I found myself regretting that the Old Gentleman didn't live long enough to see his grand-daughter blossoming in this way. (Friends from the old Llama days** may recall that he commented there under the tag "O.F." and that he had much to say on musickal topics.) I get most of my own musickal talent from him and I'm sure that a substantial part of that flowed down to the Gel. I'm sure he would have been beside himself with pride in her, as was I.
Oh, and to give you an idea of how much I enjoyed it? The performance ran about three hours altogether. To me, it felt more like around twenty minutes. That's how much.
* I hope that friends of the decanter know ol' Robbo well enough to understand that this post has nothing to do with pretentious, inside-the-Imperial-Beltway-Bubble sticking on side, but is solely concerned with musick in general and teh Gel's achievements therein in particular. Pretentious? Moi?
** I see that Pixy has returned the old Llama Butchers Moo Knew site to the primordial ooze and therefore that all that was written there is gone. Same deal with the earlier Blogsplat version. Pity. I had often thought of printing out each entry and all its attached comments for the sake of posterity.

This is a great interview. Beck doesn't shy away from asking Herman Cain tough questions and one of the first questions he asks Cain about is auditing the Fed. Cain said he worked for the Fed in Kansas city and doesn't mind if the Fed gets audited, but he's not going to herald it as one of his issues. I know some of you have been wanting to know about this issue and he gives a more complete answer in the video.
Beck also asked Cain about his 'No Muslims in my Cabinet' answer and he clarified that as well. He did say that he spoke quickly without thinking, but also noted that his answer had been mischaracterized. I think he's learning to be a bit more polished and I'm ok with that. The last thing I want is another cookie cutter candidate.
All in all there were no major missteps in this interview as there were in the interview on Sunday. In fact he did a great job.
