Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
All October long I will be exploring the context behind (using reader danjack's term) "meta-messages." A meta-message is where a comic book creator comments on/references the work of another comic book/comic book creator using the characters in their comic. Each time around, I'll give you the context behind one such "meta-message." Here is an archive of the past installments!
Today, I'll feature a suggestion that reader Gary S. e-mailed me (I think someone else did, as well, I can't find the e-mail, though), where Bob Haney ever so gently pushed back at the prevailing attitude of the mid-1960s that Marvel was home to more original ideas.
A common refrain in the mid-60s Bullpen Bulletins was the notion that DC Comics were beginning to attempt to copy Marvel Comics due to the success of the upstart company. There is a great deal of truth to this idea, although more towards the very late 1960s and early 1970s. But even in 1966, Stan Lee would write about DC copying Marvel (this led to a particularly interesting back and forth between Lee and a DC staffer that reader Keith Alan Morgan pointed out that I'll spotlight in the future, probably in CBLR).
So that was almost certainly on Bob Haney's mind when he wrote 1967's Brave and the Bold #74 (which was the beginning of Batman's uninterrupted stretch as being always one half of the team-ups in the book) and the opening page…
This is clearly one of the tamest Meta-Messages, but for its time, it was quite outlandish. Batman breaking the fourth wall in a 1960s comic? That's pretty darn out there!
The art was by Ross Andru and Mike Esposito.
Besides the obvious reference, I wonder if Batman's "funny" monologues are supposed to be a parody of Spider-Man's trademark banter? Or did Haney's Batman really talk that way?
From what I remember of the Showcase Presents of this series, Haney's Batman did in fact talk this way all of the time. He was definitely the hippest, grooviest, funkiest caped crusader I've ever read about.
"Robin's off with the Teen Titans tonight… no action at all."
Holy innuendo, Batman.
Wow, that's some dinamic art too! I would love to read some happy batman adventures once in a while.
I am so not used to happy batman. He's great. He's like normal batman, but drunk.
What…. that is one crazy Batman. Is this the SIlver Age Batman that Grant Morrison loves?
Oh my God I need more of this Batman in my life
He called himself "Brucie-Boy"? That sounds like something Superman would say when he's nasty drunk.
I love Ross Andru's art. He draws a pretty sweet Spider-Man as well.
I love the way Batman just sits casually on the bat statue. He looks so relaxed as though nothing could possibly ruin his day.
Besides the obvious reference, I wonder if Batman's "funny" monologues are supposed to be a parody of Spider-Man's trademark banter? Or did Haney's Batman really talk that way?
I'm making my way through Bob Kane and Bill Finger's old Batman stories from the Golden Age, and Batman's pretty much a joke-a-minute motormouth when he fights, even before he gets Robin. He was only dark and somber and silent for the first handful of adventures. I just think all heroes bantered a lot back then, even the ones we don't traditionally associate with banter anymore.
The irony of that sequence is while its bashing Marvel, Ross Andru's great artwork is undeniably influenced by the Kirby-created Marvel house style
DC copying Marvel? Why would anyone say that? Oh, right…in B&B #68 Batman had become Bat-Hulk.
Anyone reading and liking this NEEDS to get the Showcase Presents Brave and the Bold Teamups Volumes 2 and 3. Every story is like this or better. There's one where he's walking the streets in full Bat getup in broad daylight checking out the chicks. Swear to God.
Ah, the good old days when Gotham would name a building after Batman, and give him the key to the city, and you could buy a dream date with Batman for charity.
There's also something similar in 1966's Adventure Comics #350, which was — I think — by E. Nelson Bridwell. It's a classic Legion of Super-Heroes story, and at one point Chameleon Boy becomes a spider to web up a monster. The action pauses for a "talking head" where Cham gives the following little speech:
"In case a certain web-headed character thinks I'm stealing his thunder, I'd like to remind him that *I* was changing to all sorts of weird shapes long before he walked up his first wall."
So Spider-Man was clearly a touchy subject for DC for some years.
I am unimpressed. I mean, it's not like the acrobatics are the reason Spider-Man was lauded as revolutionary.
I don't even get why he's going after Spider-Man, who rarely does stuff like that. That's more of a Daredevil move.
I love how he also comments on superheroes talking to themselves. "Hey, that's actually not a good idea!"
Bob Haney was a gift from heaven.
I find this amusing. There were some times that for my own personal satisfaction I'd imagine speech bubbles of Spider-Man were thought-bubbles. I had trouble processing the idea that Spidey would say stuff like that out loud within earshot of anyone.
I remember in early issues of Ultimate Spider-Man, Spidey would mention his Spider-Sense being the reason he could avoid attacks. At some point someone told him it wasn't a good idea for him to reveal his secrets to his enemies. I can't remember who it was or what issue it was.
Cool – my first credit in one of Brian's great columns – one thing off of my bucket list
Showcase B&B #1 is chock full of great Batman stuff. Issue #64 is where he spanks a rich adult brat female (in front of a photographer no less) and then in issue 78, he has Batgirl & Wonder Woman first pretending to fight over him, then they fight over him for real. S&M and a potential Menage – 60s Batman had it going on
Hah, we even got classic Spider-Man artist Ross Andru here.
Bob Haney comic books are just CRAAAAAAZY. We need a CBSG feature of their own dedicated to the man and his works. Whatever he was smoking, I want some of that.
For those of you wanting to see more of "happy Batman" I heartily the Batman:Brave and Bold cartoon, which has certainly taken its cue from the Bob Haney's "Brave and Bold" issues (hmmm, that sentence sunds too obvious…)
Every episode is brilliant and hilarious, but if you want to sample the show check out the "The Rise of the Blue Beetle!" and "Aquaman's Outrageous Adventure!" episodes.
My personal favourite is the episode which introduces Firestorm ("Duel of the Double Crossers!"), which has Batman split into three "archetypes" that make up his personality – intelligent Batman ("who's the nerd ?" asks Ronnie Raymond) , angry Batman and "slacker Batman" (again, this comes from Ronnie Raymond, and this archetype represents what is left of Batman when you remove his intelligence and drive/willpower).
I will say nothing more, except to you leave you with what is my favourite Batman quote of all time:
@Naked Punisher: Yes, Morrison has referenced Haney's Brave and the Bold stories frequently as being an inspiration. The Batman digs this day.
@T: "The irony of that sequence is while its bashing Marvel, Ross Andru's great artwork is undeniably influenced by the Kirby-created Marvel house style"
Plus you keep seeing the bottom of his feet — just like a Ditko book!
Anyway, seconding Brett with a vengeance; The Brave and the Bold is outstanding.
I recall a remark made by Chameleon Boy in LSH (sorry, can't remember which issue, but I think it was in the mid-sixties and drawn by Curt Swan, so probably written by Edmond Hamilton or Jim Shooter) to the effect that if Spidey thought that Cham (who had changed into a giant spider) was stealing his thunder, he was wrong because Cham had been doing that kind of thing before Spidey was thought of.
@ sandwich eater
I think it was Daredevil who told (Ultimate) Spidey that, if I remember correctly.
Jeremy: Pot. It was pot.
@Alan – I was thinking of that Chameleon Boy quote too – it's from the story that introduced R J Brande (Adventure #350 Nov 1966) so it pre-dates the Batman issue and, if memory serves me, was probably by E Nelson Bridwell. It was the two-parter with the kryptonite cloud that wrapped up most of E Hamilton's dangling plots.
I love Batman making a mental note to only address himself by name when thinking out loud in the third person when there AREN'T criminals around. That's why he's the best.
I was joking when I typed that, but now that I think about it, for all the times recent writers have had the JLA and Avengers calling each other by (real) name during fights, it's nice to see that there was a time when comic book writers realized that people can hear you when you talk around them.
Even if it was in the context of Batman addressing himself by name while thinking out loud in the thirsd person.
"I am unimpressed. I mean, it's not like the acrobatics are the reason Spider-Man was lauded as revolutionary."
DC was pretty dense when it came to grappling with Marvel's success.
Well… To be fair, there's nothing in Bob Haney's text that suggests he thinks acrobatics were the reason Spider-Man was revolutionary, or even that he is arguing against Marvel being revolutionary in general. It's just a gentle jab at Spider-Man.
Given a choice, I'd take this Batman over the current one any day. Any day at all.
THis is so much fun. I would love it if Batman did this sort of external monologue thing more often.
Or at least if Superman did it. It works quite well and it doesn't just have to be Spidey who talks to himself.
60s-70s bats > 80s-90s bats.
'bob' bless grant morrison.
60s-70s bats > 80s-90s bats.
Not at all.

NNVC is going to be a MULTI bagger, for all you sorry saps who haven't heard of one this stock has already bagged time and time again.$1 dollar next week on news then shoots over $2 during the week, we'll see $5 after they announce their next deal of which an announcement on progress is said to be soon.After that is HOME FREEEEEEEEEEEEEE. This puppy will most likely get bought out and I can see no reason not to own A LOT OF SHARES.
The truth about Mack's List is that it is a funny joke.However, NNVC is likely set to explode if patterns from prior year continue.
3 weeks later and the share didn't break out.
I'm still heeeeeeeere
The company cannot be bought out due to the share structure, with insiders owning the controlling interest. Unless they want to sell that interest to outsiders - in which case stockholders get nothing.They have been lying to shareholders for years about getting drugs approved.You don't think that's a reason to avoid this stock?
Have heard this mantra for years. The only MULTI bagger here is for bagholders.
Seriously,If this thing breaks 0.95 its going to EXPLODE and its just around the corner.This is truly a given multi bagger for longs.
I'm sorry correction: "after they announce their next deal. A progress report is due soon supposedly"

Van Halen Sues Over Use Of Band's Name
The rockers accuse Kelly Van Halen, ex-wife of Alex, of exploiting her famous last name to promote her own interior design business and kids clothing line.
Our last word in business today is: "Ain't Talkin' 'bout Love." It's a classic from Van Halen, a band that brings to mind blistering guitar solos and sold-out arenas.
But baby blankets and armoires? Probably not. That's the gist of a lawsuit filed by the band against drummer Alex Van Halen's ex-wife.
GREENE: The rockers accuse Kelly Van Halen of exploiting her famous last name to promote her own interior design business and kids' clothing line. The Kelly Van Halen Co. sells a whole range of products that include ponchos and swimsuits, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
MONTAGNE: The band says her trademark is, quote, "confusingly similar to their own, and dilutes the Van Halen brand."
GREENE: What are they saying - that leopard-patterned baby bath towels are not true rock 'n' roll? I don't know what they're talking about.
MONTAGNE: Hmm.
GREENE: This whole legal debate just makes me want to jump.

Polylang 1.1.4
Linux CentOS and Windows 7 (both have the same issue)
Permalinks set to http://www.mysite.com/sample-post/
My Issue is that I cannot reproduce the behaviour I have on one dev machine (Win7) neither on another dev nor on the prod server (CentOS).
I use a theme with custom posts and I'd like to switch language in the home page without changing post. I dont know how on the dev machine I was able to get the desired behaviour, i.e. language switch on the same post.
On the other 2 machines I cannot switch fron English (default) to French. There must be some config I'm missing because if I use the DB from the working install on the other sites, everything works. But I would like to know the reason.
The Polylang config is identical on all 3 install.
Any idea?

Open Thread: A Case of School Phobia
At some point, most of us have hidden behind our parents at the classroom door. Rebecca Maykish, now 17, remembers her mother prying her off a banister at the age of five.
But for Maykish, of Palmerton, Pa., the terror never stopped. She was eventually diagnosed with school phobia, a condition that renders time in a classroom so miserable that she says she feels like she's having a heart attack.
Her family won a settlement from the district to pay for her public education. The Maykishes spent $45,000 special fund on what they call a variety of instructional and therapeutic expenses. Some of those expenses included summer camp and a modeling class, but mother Barbara Maykish says the idea was always to build stepping stones back to regular class. The saga gets complicated from there, but today the district is fining the family for Rebecca's truancy, and the family is seeking a civil rights lawyer.
And we're seeking your reaction. Ever heard of school phobia? Ever had it? Got an answer for this situation?

I've never heard of school phobia. It may be a valid condition, but I don't understand how someone with school phobia can attend modeling classes and not attend a school with smaller classes. It just seems very fishy to me.
If she really does have problems, try virtual schooling. In Florida we have Florida Virtual School. The child is still enrolled in a legimate High School but all classes are instructed by certified teachers. The classes are free. Look into a similar program in your state.
Quit being your daughter's crutch
Yes! I absolutely had school phobia as a child. I had panic attacks in the lunchroom and at recess. The lights and sounds and smells of the school made me ill. Completing homework, taking tests, answering questions in class: they all made me feel panicked. I wasn't an underachiever, either--I was a good student who, for some reason, was terrified of school.
It took until at least fifth grade for these feelings to ease. I can sympathize with this young girl.
I wish NPR would clarify something here. As I understand it, the school district is fining Maykish for truancy starting sometime this year. Maykish received 100 truancy notices, and she is fined $154 per notice (for a total of $15,400, which the court reduced to $11,000).
Here's what I'd like to know: Is $154 per truancy notice normal? And is 100 notices over the course of a few months normal? (I'm pretty sure my parents didn't have to pay that much for my own numerous truancies.)
This case is really just that of a family being fined the outrageous sum of $11,000 because a 17-year-old failed to attend school for a few months. NPR should investigate that issue, rather than speculating about the legitimacy of "school phobia."
I'm not clear how boarding school is much diffeent than public school from a classroom/social environment. This is a hard sell.
What I really don't understand is where exactly that money went if not to alternatives to public school, like one of those tutoring centers (Sylvan, etc). Why wasn't her mother doing everything possible to get her daughter ready to face the real world? Frankly, I would have been using the money to get textbooks, teaching aids, and computer software in order to put my kid ahead of the curve rather than frittering it away on summer camp and hoping that my daughter could muddle her way through a Babysitter Twins book.
As a psychiatrist, it has been my expereince that "school phobia," has little, if anything, to do with school. Rather, it is an issue with severe separation anxiety, usually relating to difficulties separating from the mother (who is usually the primary caretaker). Typically beginning with first grade, the symptoms may progress to the level of a significant disability, if the problem is not addressed and corrected early. The small child who is anxious about leaving home should be gently reassured that all will be ok, but should also be taken to school every day. This usually results in rapid resolution of the symptoms.
Psychodynamically, the underlying issue is usually the mother's reluctance to let go of her child, thus conveying worry of separation to the child. This may also need to be addressed.
If the child is allowed to stay at home, the symptoms may abate, but eventually the reinforcement of school avoidance becomes so profound, that resolution becomes exceedingly difficult. Thus, it is rarely in the best interests of the child to establish a permanent home-based program.
I didn't hear anything in the story about treatment for Rebecca's phobia. Many people with all kinds of phobias have made a lot of progress under the care of a doctor. I hope she's getting some treatment.
I recall as a child, looking forward to interacting with my classmates everyday I was at school. I take it Rebecca has no friends at school. Is her parents concerned about her development or the money?
As the daughter was talking, i wondered if the daughter was a perfectionist and then she described herself as one and I thought "Ahhh". It seems to me that she is having panic attacks. It appears as if there hasn't been correct treatment in this case. I'm not a doctor by any means but there is failure all around for this girl by her mother and by the school.
The mother was so freaking defensive. I couldn't even listen to the whole thing.
Results after Googling the names in this story showed that this has really hit a nerve with the homeschooling community.
I can understand school phobia as a legitimate disorder, but I am mystified by the mother's complaint about the school not adequately teaching her daughter. I'm a homeschooling mother, and without the help of certified and trained teachers, I managed to school my kids. They all test above grade level.
There are hundreds, maybe thousands of homeschool curriculum models out there, for all kinds of learners. Did she explore the idea of teaching her daughter herself?
What in Hades? Too many real issues affecting kids at school; poverty, disconnected school cultures to name two. Get real people. How many more psychoses can we create for normal feelings. Send your kid to school and tell her to suck it up. What happens when she leaves school? Workophobia?? This is what will unravel the foundations of a society. A generation where no one loses, everyone has a diagnosis and guess what? The world won't have it. The correction will leave us on our tails until we deny these morons space to spread this nonsense.

(I turned this off after the first "rewind" effect.)
I grew up in a household that was practically held hostage by a brother who refused to go to school every day. School phobia was a traumatic reality for my parents and my siblings.
When my brother was in grade school, he screamed, kicked, and cried while my parents tried everything to get him into the classroom. They tried the calm, rational approach, followed by the threats of punishment, and over time it escalated to physically dragging him to school.
Once he was in the classroom, he was well-behaved and an "A" student. If not for the struggle of getting him there (and his terrible attendance record) his teachers would have never known he had a problem.
As he got older and bigger it became increasingly difficult (and finally impossible) for my parents to force him to do anything. My parents were exhausted. My other brother, sister, and I were mortified. It took a huge toll on the entire family.
My brother was finally diagnosed with school phobia, but the psychologist was not helpful in finding a solution. By the time he reached junior high, he was rarely attending classes. The principal threatened my parents every week with legal action.
In the end, my brother dropped out of school in the 9th grade. He attempted home schooling, but eventually quit that, too. When he was 19, he left an envelope next to my parents' computer. In it was his GED. Since then, he's always had a good-paying job. He owns a home. He is a great father to his son.
I don't know about other people's experiences with school phobia. But my childhood taught me that I can't judge any family from the outside.
I found it weird that she sent her daughter to modeling school. I guess it can be argued that it was for self esteem issues, but how about sending her to some sort of accredited self esteem program rather than a school that's concerned with "looking pretty". Hopefully, the daughter didn't come out of the modeling thing with any changes in her eating habits.
Is there not a school that she could attend outdoors or something? She mentioned that it was the school building itself... somewhere there must be a school that looks more home-y or something.
I don't know, something about the modeling school just rubbed me the wrong way. The mother saying that the modeling thing and the multi-thousand dollar summer camp were all for the daughter's self esteem--it just seemed like that excuse could've said that about anything: "Well, we figured a Porsche would help her with her self esteem..."
Plus I guess I was rubbed the wrong way that the daughter has gone without schooling for about 5 years and the parents didn't get with it enough to say "Well, maybe being in an school building is out, but I'm going to home school you or something so that you're not 5 grades beneath your peers--so you're not struggling to string together a sentence on an Arby's application while your friends are heading off to college."
This mom has found a way to make money by using her daughter. Sick! If her daughter needs help, there is plenty of help that can be provided by district's various education specialists and her doctor. If a child can attend boarding school, she can most certainly go to a school with modifications. A 504 plan or IEP can be developed, if she qualifies, to meet her severe needs.
Just because some parents can homeschool their children doesn't mean that all parents can. Do working parents (Who have absolutely postively no choice but to work in order to self-sufficiently support their children and themselves) have time to homeschool their kids? Preferably if they work second-third shifts. There are plenty of educators I know of who are adamantely opposed to home-schooling (there was a recent ruling in California regafding the matter). This parent has indeed failed to seek other educational options for her daughter. There are "alternative" schools that are equipped to handle her - if she had just taken even more time to search around. If there are shortages of educational resources for children that is reliable, then demanding that our leaders make educating special needs children a legislative priority should be on the table. It takes people to speak out and become pro-actively involved in order for any kind of educational progress to be made.
Not all schools are the same, and if the parent were really interested in the benefits of her daughter's education, she'd research one. As an educator, I find it an increasing trend, to have parents allow children to make decisions that have long-term results on their lives. While I totally agree that children need to have a voice and be heard, it is up to an intelligent and patient adult, to sit the child down and explain what is the mature and logical way to handle situations. What's going to happen when she goes for a job? Will she then develop job phobia?
I can remember having what would maybe be classified or called school phobia now. I was badly made fun of in school and as a result I dreaded it. It was a very small town country school, and the kids were very clique-ish and snobby and if you didn't wear certain designer brands and styles, that was it, you were out, but if you were fat like me? Oh god forbid even worse. I was a no one. I can remember dreading school from 7th grade through about my sophomore year in high school. I did learn, though, and I was able to conquer my fears and was a good student. My brother, though, had to be taken out of public school and put into private school, paid for by my grandparents as my mom could not afford it since my dad was a deadbeat and didn't pay child support (and this was these same grandparent's son!) At any rate I know that this is a real thing, and that people all learn in different ways, and we are all born diferent and have different brain chemistries, different weaknesses and strengths. Not everyone can fit into the public school mold, molded to become a corporate goon and work 8 to 5 forever. Whatever happened to the days of entrepreneurialship in America? The corporate world is manipulating our children to fit their corporate mold - degrees are getting more specified, and general knowledge is frowned upon and specific knowledge is wanted. Why? That way they can get you in a job and keep you there and you have no way to move in your position unless you go back to school and get a completely new degree. So, yes, if this girl can't take public school for whatever the reason, she shouldn't have to go and her parents should not be fined, that's ridiculous!
I'm with Todd Dumas- but I turned this off after the first minute. The interviewer quite obviously led Ms. Maykish into the answers he wanted, and in doing so sounded like a dishonest political pollster interviewing a feeble octogenarian. Horrible editing, NPR. And bad management of your reporters.
I would ageee that as teenagers, we're all a little funny in the head. However, giving creedence to a "diagnosis" of "school phobia" is endemic of a larger problem we have in this country- making excuses for not doing the things we simply have to do be productive members of society. Please, wake up America. There are some experiences that we must teach our children to grin and bear. Tough times usually don't last a lifetime, and what's more, they build character. The healthy skepticism of "school phobia" expressed in the comments above is a sign of hope (and also a sign that not all NPR listeners, myself included, are liberal zealots content with any plausible excuse to live the Bohemian lifestyle).
@Dave (Elementary School Principal), I normally follow the rule not to correct other people's grammar when commenting on a blog. This is the Internet, after all, and, as one who's marginally dyslexic, I have my own problems.
That said, I counted three punctuation errors and two sentence fragments in your comment. I'm certain that if my high school English teacher, Brother Ruhl, were still with us, he would probably find a few more errors that I missed.
Now, if you just signed the comment, "Dan," no would be the wiser, but, since you included your profession, you left yourself wide open for scrutiny. My advise to you is not to tell anyone you're a principal. That way, no one will hold to a higher standard.
I am in total aggrement with John H. Rennick, M.D. comment above.(I am a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist). This is clearly an exemple of a severe Separation Anxiety Disorder and should have been treated as such after an adequate psychiatric evaluation.
It is a pity the article calls it "School Phobia" which confuses the issues.
Even worse is that apparently the needed psychiatric evaluation-tretment never took place.
It seemed more important (in the article) to talk about the money than the core problems which included the family pathology that probably included sociopatic tendencies (truancy).
Boarding school is very different from public school. Boarding school becomes more like a family. You live there and attend school there.
Rebecca did have evaluations. Millions of them. The doctors were quick to diagnose her with "school phobia" but had no solutions. I did everything any parent would do to help Rebecca get an education and to attend school.. There was medication, therapy, psychologists, doctors,desentiziations, in vivo, etc. etc. Behaviorists. Too much focus is being put on the money and not enough about the undercurrent there is more here. This was retailiation. There were 111 truancy fines. The money from the fines goes right back to the district. The courts refused to admit the medical evidence. I have boxes of it. Called it "heresay" evidence and ruled against me. Felt like I was in a third world country. It was just unbelievable. Rebecca did get educational software, and programs reading material, therapy., tudors, computer instruction, etc. The public does not realilze that comp ed funds are common. The schools don't want you to know about it. If you google ODR Office for Dispute Resolution or Pattan you can get more information. You can even read the decisions from the due process hearings. They are quite interesting. Home schooling was not an option for my daughter for many reasons. I did a lot of home schooling with her in her younger years but, after a certain level she needed highly qualified instruction and specific reading programs and assistive technology that I could not provide. This district did a lot of malicious things to our family. This was not discussed on NPR. Tuition for a private school would be 55,000 a year. The turnover in the administration is crazy. We have had three different superintendents, and five LEA's. This led to a breakdown in programming for Rebecca. Many thanks to all of you that have offered understanding and compassion. We appreciate it. I felt somewhat on a hotseat during this interview. I wanted to tell our story and felt too much time was being spent on "the money" and not enough about the bigger issue. I think all in all the article was fair and wanted to fill in a few details. Thanks you Paula, Erin, Lisa and Edward.
When worlds collide . . . As a public school teacher, I have had several students over nearly twenty years whose parents or grandparents allowed them to avoid school for various reasons. In that time, I had one girl who became truly unhinged (at fourth grade level) about coming to school. She actually had tantrums and became violent. The family pulled her out, and I don't know where she went. We never even had time to "diagnose" her. Fortunately these kinds of stories are rare, otherwise our public school system and its poorly funded economics would overwhelmed. Although the federal government mandates that we meet special needs for children, it has funded such programs at less than twenty percent since the outset; and there is an artificial limit of ten percent (so if you live an an urban inner city environment where you have a lot of crack babies with special needs on top of all the other children with physical and/or learning challenges, and that takes you over your ten percent limit, it's just tough luck for some of those affected kids -- some of your children will not be served). It sounds like this young lady needed to be shopped around until the right match with a school was found. Sadly, that takes lots of time and LOTS of money. And while I cannot say that this situation smacks of money-grubbing, I can say that I have dealt with at least twenty families over my career who were gaming the system -- especially trying to get Social Security benefits for children who had very mild symptoms or problems (such as ADD, ADHD, etc.) There were two families who I think were actually coaching children to behave in certain ways (to ascertain a specific diagnosis) and/or were scamming medical professionals to prescribe high-powered psychotropic drugs for children in whom we never saw significant symptoms. The world of public education has become a strangely tangled and darker place over the last thirty years. I'm proud of the work we do with the vast majority of our students. It's too bad that there are always going to be exceptions to the norm; and sometimes we just never find the right prescription of services. Schools are human institutions dealing with developing humans -- there are bound to be unsolvable puzzles.
My daughter had/has multiple health concerns including "school phobia" or school avoidance. This is an extremely misunderstood condition, and there is very little worthwhile information on it. However, it is REAL and very hard to overcome. Every parent who experiences this with their child is driven to try everything possible to get their child to school, many times without success, and without much understanding from the school system. I should write a book on all of the steps we took with our daughter. She was recently diagnosed with one of the 6 forms of ADHD. We started medication and many of her anxiety and other symptoms seem to be in remission. We will see in September, when she starts school again. She also mentions the sounds and smells of school, and the overwhelming feeling of walking through the halls with the crowds of other kids. I experienced it during back to school night, when the parents follow the kids schedules and meet the teachers. Incidentally, her father experienced the same school phobia during his high school years, and was diagnosed with ADD in his 30's. I'm not sure why the doctors didn't put 2 and 2 together sooner, but at least we can move forward now. Maybe all school phobic children should be tested for one of the 6 ADHD types. In addition, we have found that food additives and high fructose corn syrup (and similar sugary substances) seem to help escalate her anxiety.
I have to agree with both M.D's concerning separation anxiety. However, I'm surprised that aspberger's wasn't mentioned as a possible diagnosis. Nor should we assume the being ADHD is a cause for this form of anxiety. I was fortunate not be labelled as ADHD/ADD and, despite chronic poor grades I enjoyed school-esp. high school.
It could be worse as this child may have been designated as an {Indigo}nor do I approve of spending school funds for one individual under the label of being a special needs child.
Jennifer Natko, Thank you for calling in with the secondary adrenal problem and its possible connection to school phobia. I will be investigating that possibility immediately. This is the reason we did this show. For answers. Thank you.

Woman accused of assaulting toddlerFebruary 13,2013Woman denies assault on child
NORTH BENNINGTON A woman who is staying at the Bennington Coalition for the Homeless shelter at 6 Bank St. was charged with two misdemeanors on Tuesday after police said they believed she had assaulted an 18-month-old child.
Adrienne Bowen, 22, pleaded innocent in Bennington criminal court to misdemeanor charges of domestic assault and cruelty to a child younger than 10.
In an affidavit, Detective Anthony Silvestro, of the Bennington Police Department, said he had begun to investigate Bowen because of a report made to the Vermont Department of Children and Families by an unnamed employee of the shelter.
On Monday, Silvestro and an investigator with the Department of Children and Families met with a person living in the shelter who was also not named in the affidavit. The resident claimed Bowen had picked up a child, who was born in August 2011, by the hand.
The resident said the child was held high enough to be swinging in the air and said Bowen twisted the childs arm and dropped her on the floor where she hit her head. The resident said Bowen kicked the childs foot before walking away.
On other occasions, the resident told investigators, Bowen dragged the child up some stairs by her arm.
Silvestro said Bowen told him that she gets stressed out very easily. She denied dropping and kicking the child but admitted to picking the child up by her arm.
She also told investigators she didnt want to have the child taken away from her.
Bowen was released without bail but ordered to observe a curfew and obey a safety plan created by the Department of Children and Families. She was also ordered not to use corporal punishment on the child.
Bowen also has a pending case from September with a felony count of forgery and a misdemeanor charge of retail theft.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

"Schieder-Schwalenberg" Schieder-Schwalenberg by Maria250
Schieder-Schwalenberg Travel Guide: 14 reviews and 42 photos
The small and historic town of Schieder-Schwalenberg lies in the amazing green of the Lippe district what's the eastern area of Germany's state of North Rhine Westphalia. Unlike many other areas of the Holy Roman Empire the Lippe district kept its independence in the Napoleonic times, and thus wasn't incorporated into Prussia afterwards. It was one of the smaller member states of the German empire. The last prince of Lippe had to resign in 1918 after the end of WWI when Germany became republic, his country became a Freistaat in the German republic. 1947 Lippe lost its status as a state of Germany and by order of the British military government was incorporated into the new federal state North Rhine-Westphalia. The Lippe district covers also the northern part of the Teutoburg Forest.
- Pros:An unforgettable and peaceful piece of earth.
- Cons:Locals seem to be not open towards visitors.
- In a nutshell:Place provids also with neat camp ground.

Definition of cadency in English:
noun[mass noun] chiefly Heraldry
The status of a younger branch of a family: the arms of younger sons are differenced by marks of cadency
More example sentences
- The rose is the emblem of England and in heraldry is used as the mark of cadency for a seventh son.
- The trine aspect to the ascendant and association with the Sun helps to alleviate the more negative associations of cadency.
- Marks of cadency are determined and granted for life to the individual by Royal Warrant (from the 19th century, members of the Royal family do not have arms until assigned to them, and these arms are not necessarily inheritable).

Hi, just wanted to know how or where can we get the code snippet ( demo script.txt ) that he uses in this video ? It is so essential. Tnx.
Where are the slides?
Any updates on the Slides or the Source Code from this session?
Slides please!
Another way to hide empty-list text in an app is to use a converter that converts the collection count to a visibility value. Then you just bind the visibility property on the empty-list text block to the count property in the collection along with the converter defined below. Easy and very re-usable
public class CountToInverseVisibilityConverter : IValueConverter { public object Convert(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { if ((int)value == 0) { return Visibility.Visible; } else { return Visibility.Collapsed; } } public object ConvertBack(object value, Type targetType, object parameter, System.Globalization.CultureInfo culture) { return value; } }
Hey there guys,
Is there any update regarding the slides and code?

At first sight it seems surprising that the electrocardiogram was not derived precordially from the beginning, i. e., as directly as possible. However, the fact that it was not is not so strange, for the limb leads give almost constant pictures, while chest leads show distinct changes when the exploring electrode is shifted. Moreover, the standard leads of Einthoven are adequate for a study of arrhythmia, and the problem of irregularity of the pulse has for many years been the leading one in cardiology. Though chest leads were used occasionally in the early days of electrocardiography,1 their value was not generally appreciated until electrocardiographic research was made subservient to examination of the myocardium, at first especially in coronary thrombosis. It is to the credit of Wood and Wolferth and their co-workers2 to have shown in a number of papers that a fourth lead may sometimes supply information of

China Corn Imports May Rise to Record, Group Says
China may boost corn imports to a record next year as the U.S., the world's biggest grain exporter, potentially faces increased competition from rival supplier Argentina, the U.S. Grains Council said.
Corn purchases may grow fivefold from 1.5 million metric tons this year "to upward of" 7.4 million tons in the 2011 calendar year, Thomas Dorr, president of the industry group, said in an interview in Beijing. The group in July forecast imports of 5.8 million tons.
The world's biggest grain user may overtake Japan as the largest corn importer within five years, buying as much as 25 million tons by 2015, driving prices higher as rising incomes fuel demand for pork and chicken, Rabobank Groep NV said last week. Chinese officials are "aggressively" trying to add Argentina to their alternative suppliers as domestic reserves dwindle, boosting competition for U.S. exporters, Dorr said.
China "sends the appropriate market signal to the world that there is new demand for corn," Dorr said yesterday. "Whether the Chinese ultimately take 5 or 7 million or 10 million tons of corn, whether they take from us or they take it from Argentina, we don't know," he said.
Corn has jumped 42 percent this year, climbing to a 27-month high of $6.175 a bushel on Nov. 9 after the U.S. government forecast smaller-than-expected supply. The contract for March delivery traded at $5.8650 a bushel in Chicago today.
On China's Dalian Commodity Exchange, corn gained 24 percent this year on tightening supplies. The September-delivery contract ended at 2,323 yuan ($349) a ton.
Increasing Output
China's corn output may be 172.5 million tons this year, a 5.2 percent gain from 2009, the China National Grain & Oils Information Center said today, raising its forecast by 3.5 million tons from a month ago.
The Asian nation had been a net exporter of the grain in recent years, including last year, when shipments outpaced imports by 125,000 tons, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
"A new era of China importing corn is here," Hanver Li, chairman of Shanghai JC Intelligence Co., said in July, according to a U.S. Grains Council statement.
China is more likely to use imported corn in the marketing year that began Oct. 1 because the government hasn't bought a temporary reserve to cover possible shortages, state-affiliated researcher Cngrain.com said in a report posted on its website on Dec. 13. The government doesn't disclose state reserve levels.
Argentine Supplies
The government may not let corn imports gain "in the scope that has emerged in the soybean industry," Dorr said. China's soybean imports surged fivefold in the 10 years ended Oct. 31, and it now imports about 80 percent of its consumption, according to USDA data.
Imports of 7.4 million tons, or about 291 million bushels, of corn would represent an increase of almost 15 percent in demand for U.S. corn exports if China bought entire amount from the U.S., Dorr said. Under the terms of its World Trade Organization membership, China agreed it would allow imports of as much as 7.4 million tons of corn at the lowest tariff rate.
China is working to begin imports from Argentina, Dorr said, citing discussions with Chinese officials, who have "made very clear" they are trying to complete a so-called Pest Risk Assessment that will enable the country to commence buying from the world's second-biggest exporter.
Argentina expects to reach an agreement on corn sales to China in the first half of 2011, Minister of Agriculture Julian Dominguez said Dec. 1.

About this Business
From Our Editors
Jeff Woodruff started Keg Cowboy in Houston as an Internet supplier of homebrewery gear, he told Patch. When his wife got a job in Lexington, he decided to bring his business along and open a storefront. He decked it out with all the same supplies that were once in his online store, supplementing them with a climate-controlled grain vault that keeps 55 varieties of yeast, 61 varieties of grain, and 21 varieties of hops fresh and free of pests and freeloading scarecrows. He finds himself delighted with the transition, saying "Lexington has great water—and great water makes great beer."
On Saturdays, homebrewing classes supply students with all the skills needed to begin making their own bottled beverages at home. Keg Cowboy also offers do-it-yourself kegerator and beer dispensing equipment for chilling and serving their home-brewed beverages. In addition to enhancing novice brewing abilities, Keg Cowboy houses its own craft beer tavern on the premises where patrons can sample a rotating stock of global beers which changes bi-weekly.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH -- A 3-year-old girl died Thursday after her adoptive mother accidentally backed into her while pulling out of their driveway, according to St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Deputy Ricky Domingo.
"She thought she ran over children's toys or a 4-by-4," Domingo said. "She looked in her rearview mirror and saw it was a child."
Shannon Leigh Coheley, born Aug. 2, 2000, was pronounced dead at the scene. Residents watched stunned as her body was taken from the cul-de-sac on Woodland Drive. They described her as a "sweet little girl" and a "beautiful angel."
"A truly terrible accident," said Sheriff's Office spokesman Kevin Kelshaw.
Kelshaw said Shannon's mother, Susan Coheley, was leaving about 2:15 p.m. to pick up another child who was ill at school. She felt two bumps, Kelshaw said, then cried frantically for her husband.
A sheriff's office victim advocate was immediately called out to comfort the family.
"I saw the poor father and mother," said Ida Ricci, who was down from Massachusetts visiting her daughter two homes over from the Coheleys. "I thought they were going to collapse."
Ricci said the cul-de-sac is often filled with kids riding bikes and Rollerblades over small ramps. The kids are always weary of motorists coming in and out, she said. "I'd toot my horn and they'd all move out of the street," she said.
The Coheley kids have been friendly with her daughter's kids, Ricci said, and would come over in the summer to play in the pool. They are polite, well-mannered children with loving parents, she said.
She said the Coheley family has several kids, some adopted. Four bikes stood in front of the garage door and a small pink bike with training wheels was lying on the ground near the entrance of the home.
Investigators made measurements on the roadway beyond, where a long Chevrolet Express 3500 was stopped in the middle. A few feet behind the van, a rescue team tried to save Shannon, Kelshaw said.
Kids in the neighborhood called Shannon "a wild one," who always ran when she got outside. She liked Barbie dolls, they said, but it seemed stretching her legs when she got outside seemed her favorite pastime.
"I'm devastated," said Debbie Davis, a resident in the neighborhood. She said the family must be feeling unimaginable pain, but wanted to tell them the neighborhood is praying for them.

Scholars and activists have hypothesized a connection between environmental change and out-migration. In this paper, we test this hypothesis using data from Nepal. We operationalize environmental change in terms of declining land cover, rising times required to gather organic inputs, increasing population density, and perceived declines in agricultural productivity. In general, environmental change is more strongly related to short- than long-distance moves. Holding constant the effects of other social and economic variables, we find that local moves are predicted by perceived declines in productivity, declining land cover, and increasing time required to gather firewood. Long-distance moves are predicted by perceived declines in productivity, but the effect is weaker than in the model of short-distance mobility. We also show that effects of environmental change vary by gender and ethnicity, with women being more affected by changes in the time required to gather fodder and men by changes in the time to gather firewood, and high-caste Hindus generally being less affect than others by environmental change.
