SDCC: "Arrow" Cast & Crew Dish Out Details on Season 5
Creators | In an interview to be published in Japan next Friday, Naruto creator Masashi Kishimoto says he plans to spend some time with his wife and child, and take a long-delayed honeymoon, before starting his next series. And as he is about to turn 40, he hints that he may not be up for another weekly series. [Anime News Network]
Comic strips | The first color Sunday funnies appeared on Nov. 18, 1894, in Joseph Pulitzer's New York World. David Shedden observes the 120th anniversary of this innovation with a look back at some popular comic strips and footage of New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia reading the funnies over the radio during the newspaper strike of 1945.

After three years, Brian Azzarello and Cliff Chiang are wrapping up their Wonder Woman run. Starting with November's Issue 36, the new creative team will be writer Meredith Finch and her husband, artist David Finch.
While it would be silly to pass judgment completely on the Finches four months before their debut, I have to say my initial reaction wasn't entirely positive. Consider the creative teams on the four main books of Diana's Trinitarian brothers. Although detoured by the "Doomed" crossover, Action Comics' team of writer Greg Pak and artist Aaron Kuder has been well-received. Superman just kicked off the Geoff Johns/John Romita Jr. era. Detective Comics picked up Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato after their stylish success on The Flash; and Batman features the unstoppable Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. For that matter, Azzarello/Chiang was one of several distinct creative teams that debuted as part of the initial New 52 relaunch and set itself apart instantly from any DC house style. Besides Snyder/Capullo on Batman and Manapul/Buccellato on Flash, there were Jeff Lemire and Travel Foreman on Animal Man, J.H. Williams and W. Haden Blackman on Batwoman, Joshua Hale Fialkov and Andrea Sorrentino on I Vampire, Dan DiDio and Keith Giffen on OMAC, and Snyder and Yanick Paquette on Swamp Thing. Accordingly, Azzarello and Chiang have seemed right at home helming Wonder Woman.
By contrast, as a writing/drawing team the Finches are an unknown quantity. Meredith Finch has written a few one-shots; and since coming to DC from Marvel, David Finch's projects have been plagued by delays.
Now, these may all turn out to be moot points. The Finches may have the perfect take on Wonder Woman. They are certainly very enthusiastic, even if he has been a bit tone-deaf. We won't know for sure how their Wonder Woman will read until this fall — but I can still offer some historical perspective, and maybe a little advice.

Readers of superhero comics have long debated the merits of "decompression" and "waiting for the trade." You can either read a serialized story as it comes out, or you can wait until it's collected. With two issues to go, it looks like Forever Evil wants it both ways. It is structured for the Wednesday crowd but written for the trade; and so far, the result is a grim, vignette-driven affair. Writer Geoff Johns and artists David Finch and Ivan Reis (and their various collaborators) have set up an apocalyptic scenario and teased a handful of elements pointing toward its resolution; but they haven't otherwise done much, issue to issue, to move the story closer to that resolution. Indeed, the deeper I get into Forever Evil, the more I suspect that it — like its prologue, "Trinity War" — may be only the latest chapter in an ever-expanding saga.
By itself that would be unsatisfying enough. However, Forever Evil was supposed to show off DC's shared universe (New 52 edition). To be fair, its Justice League crossover issues have presented New 52 versions of Plastic Man, the Doom Patrol and the Metal Men, and alluded to past battles with old-school villains like Ultivac and the Construct. Still, except for the Metal Men, none seems directly related to FE's eventual outcome; and each seems intended instead as an Easter egg or the seed of a future series. Indeed, while the "Blight" crossover has shown what happened to the magic-based superheroes, FE itself hasn't delved too far into the whereabouts of DC-Earth's non-Leaguer super-folk. For those of us wanting each issue to go somewhere new, or at least somewhere different, month in and month out Forever Evil has felt fairly repetitive. Moreover, in sidelining the Justice League itself, it's removed a potentially productive narrative thread.
Inasmuch as these choices relate to the changing comics marketplace, Forever Evil could be one of the last big events structured this way, or it could be the shape of things to come.
We've known for a while that DC's superhero line will go through some changes in the wake of Forever Evil, and as the March solicitations bring the end of that Big Event, not surprisingly the month looks rather transitory. In fact, Forever Evil #7 is scheduled to appear on March 26, just as the final issue of Blackest Night — also written by Geoff Johns as a spinoff of his highest-profile series, in case you'd forgotten — dropped on the last week of March 2010. (It must be pure coincidence that these solicits feature a $200 White Power Battery tchotcke.) Back then, BN #8 was supposed to "set the stage" for the "next epic era of DC Comics," which turned out to be about 18 months long and featured the biweekly sort-of-sequel miniseries Brightest Day. This time, Forever Evil #7 teases the importance of the "Hooded Man" and promises to "leave the DC universe reeling and reveal the secrets to the future."
So, yeah, sounds like another cliffhanger ending, perhaps even leading into another big-deal miniseries — specifically, the May-debuting weekly Futures End. Considering that the three tie-in miniseries (ARGUS, Arkham War and Rogues Rebellion) all seem to feed into FE #7, the actual content of that final issue may well be a giant scrum, not unlike the final issue of Flashpoint, in which some cosmic button is pushed, defeating the Crime Syndicate but at a significant cost to DC-Earth. As it happens, there's no mention of the "Blight" sub-crossover (bringing together Phantom Stranger, Pandora, Constantine and JL Dark) feeding back into Forever Evil, but I'm not sure how much it's supposed to relate, beyond being about the JLD trying to pick up the post-invasion pieces.
A Centaur's Life, Vol. 1 (Seven Seas): Easily the weirdest comic I read this month, Kei Murayama's manga is about an alternate world where everything is the exact same as it is in ours, save for the fact that there are multiple races like centaurs, angel folk, goat folk, cat folk, dragon people and so on. Oh, and while human beings apparently still exist, the only one glimpsed is a medieval knight seen in flashback, having enslaved a centaur is some bizarre armor/restraining device in order to ride him.
What makes the manga so weird, however, is that there doesn't seem to be any reason, at least not in this first volume, for why our heroine Himeno is a centaur, and why her classmates are all various fantasy races living out an otherwise completely mundane existence.
Himeno is a sweet, shy, pretty and popular Japanese schoolgirl (who is also a centaur). She's afraid of boys, likes hanging out with her friends, and love sweets, although she worries about getting fat. The stories are mostly of the frivolous high-school comedy sort that could easily have been told with human characters.
In the first story, Himeno is self-conscious about her genitals, which she's never looked at, as she's afraid they might resemble those of a cow the kids once saw on a field trip (unlike some centaurs, the ones in this comic keep their horse parts covered in elaborate pants that appear difficult to put on and take off). In another, her class puts on a play, and she's cast as the female lead, while her best friend — a girl with bat wings, a spade-shaped tail and pointy ears — is the male lead. In another, she's suspected of doing some modeling work, in violation of school policy regarding part-time jobs.
Forever Evil #1 is an uneven debut for the seven-issue miniseries, revealing that the Crime Syndicate — for those who came in late, basically an evil Justice League from the parallel Earth-3 — has killed all the Leaguers and is recruiting allies among DC-Earth's supervillains. Although a handful of scenes are genuinely chilling, much of it is exposition and survey, with some of that geared apparently toward ancillary miniseries. Geoff Johns' script works well when his characters can give speeches, but turns awkward and simplistic in crowd scenes. David Finch's pencils are appropriately murky and grim, although there's not a lot of subtlety; and inker Richard Friend seems to have gotten quite a workout. (This is the superhero-comic equivalent of a downpour at dusk.) Fortunately, colorist Sonia Oback manages to bring some variety to the gloomy proceedings, whether it's brightening up a neon-lit cityscape or energizing a crackling solar corona.
Still, for the start of the first "universe-wide" Big Event of DC's New 52, Forever Evil #1 feels like an apocalyptic tease. The issue's main shocks aren't as shocking as one might imagine, and the demands of a shared superhero universe will require them to be reversed. There's undoubtedly more carnage to come, but for now it's an exercise in attitude.
Naturally, there's more after the jump. SPOILERS FOLLOW …
To mark the launch on Wednesday of DC Comics' Villains Month and Forever Evil, the much-publicized event series by Geoff Johns and David Finch, USA Today has debuted a clip from Necessary Evil: Villains of DC Comics.
Arriving Oct. 25 on Blu-ray and DVD, the documentary explores DC's rogues in-depth through interviews with "with the famed creators, storytellers and those who have crafted the personalities and profiles of many of the most notorious villains in comic book history." Legendary actor Christopher Lee narrates.
"The best supervillains, that resonate the most, they do it on two levels," Johns says in the clip below. "They do it how they psychologically reflect or challenge your superhero and also, in the story, what they've done to affect the superhero's life."
The big new Justice League of America #1 is kind of a mess. It asks a lot of its readers without delivering much right away.
This is something of a mixed result where JLA writer Geoff Johns is concerned. He tends to start well, at least for me. I liked his first issues of Blackest Night and Flashpoint, the introductory volume of Batman Earth One, and his recent work on Green Lantern Simon Baz and the just-concluded "Throne of Atlantis" storyline. However, JLA #1 (drawn by David Finch) either takes a fairly counterintuitive approach to its own premise, or is playing some sort of long game which isn't readily apparent, and (again) doesn't quite flow from the book's Justice League lead-in. More successful is (Justice League of America's) Vibe #1 (written by Johns and Andrew Kreisberg, pencilled by Pete Woods, and inked by Sean Parsons), which grounds its hero so solidly in League lore it almost overshadows its fellow spinoff.
SPOILERS FOLLOW for JLA #1, Vibe #1, and the conclusion of "Throne of Atlantis" in Justice League #17.
Justice League International had respectable sales, but nevertheless was one of the earlier cancellations of DC Comics' New 52. Justice League Dark is similarly doing decent business, but, like JLI, it's still not doing anything close to the monster sales of the Geoff Johns-written flagship Justice League.
So it's not exactly surprising that DC is taking another whack at expanding the Justice League into a franchise, and that for this second attempt, Johns is involved. On Wednesday the publisher debuted Justice League of America and Justice League of America's Vibe, and both will almost certainly be considered successes (the former has more than 50 state-specific variant covers as an added kick in the pants).
But are they good comics? I could answer yes or no, but that would make for an awfully short post. Join me below for a discussion of each.
DC Entertainment Co-Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee will appear with a half-dozen DC creators on the Jan. 22 episode of Face Off, the Syfy competition series that pits special-effects makeup artists against each other.
The episode, shot in July at Comic-Con International, challenges the competitors to create their own superheroes with assistance and advice from Lee, Mark Buckingham, Cliff Chiang, Tony S. Daniel, David Finch, Nicola Scott and J.H. Williams III. The winning design will be featured in Justice League Dark #16, which goes on sale Jan. 30.
It's time once again for our monthly trip through Previews looking for cool, new comics. We've each picked the five comics we're most anticipating in order to create a list of the best new stuff coming out two months from now.
As usual, please feel free to play along in the comments. Tell us what we missed that you're looking forward to or – if you're a comics creator – mention your own stuff.

G.I. Joe #1: As if G.I. Joe wasn't entirely in my guilty pleasure wheelhouse already, IDW Publishing relaunches the title with Fred Van Lente as writer and the tease of social and media commentary as the team is forced to go public in its fight against Cobra. Seriously, that's just unfair, people. (IDW, $3.99)
Hawkeye, Vol. 1: My Life As A Weapon TP: One of the best-looking comics around, thanks to David Aja (and Javier Pulido, on a couple of the issues contained herein), and something that I suspect I'm going to want in a collected edition to give to friends wanting some fun, fast-moving action stuff to read. Best thing Matt Fraction's done in a long time, too. (Marvel, $16.99)
New Tales of Old Palomar HC: Continuing my Love and Rockets education, a chance for me to pick up Gilbert Hernandez' return to Palomar in this new collected edition of his Ignatz series. This is definitely my favorite of Beto's work, so I'm happy to see more. (Fantagraphics, $22.99).
The Sixth Gun: Sons of The Gun #1: A new spin-off series from Cullen Bunn and Brian Hurtt's spectacular horror western? Why, I really don't mind if I do, thanks very much. For added benefit, having Brian Churilla show up for art duties is pretty sweet, as well. (Oni Press, $3.99)
Young Romance: A New 52 Valentine's Day Special #1: Even if I'm feeling less than enthused about the majority of DC's superhero line lately, I have to admit, the idea of a Valentine's Day special one-off is just far too tempting for me to ignore. (DC Comics, $7.99).
DC Comics' Justice League of America will expand with March's Issue 2 with a Martian Manhunter co-feature written by Matt Kindt and Geoff Johns and penciled by Scott Clark.
"To me, Martian Manhunter, you can almost do anything with him because there hasn't been a definitive take on him yet," Kindt, who previously wrote DC's Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E., tells MTV Geek. "We'll see what ultimately happens, but to me, he's always been like Superman, except he wasn't raised by human parents, so he doesn't have the human element to him. He has all the crazy strength and powers, but he also has a disconnect from humanity. There's that element, which I think is going to be interesting to play with, his true alien-ness. You forget Superman is an alien sometimes, but with Martian Manhunter you don't because of the way he looks. He's like a man out of place in a way."
As DC Comics begins to parcel out its February solicitations, we learn the Vibe solo title announced last week will be called Justice League of America's Vibe, which may be as much about trademark as it is about marketing the series' connection to the far more recognizable team franchise. The new Katana solo title is called simply Katana.
Even with "Justice League of America" in its title, the Vibe series is destined for a difficult time in an unforgiving marketplace. DC acknowledges as much in the solicitation text, which begins with, "No, that's not a typo," and refers to Vibe as "THE most unlikely" member of the JLA. But with Geoff Johns as co-writer (with Arrow co-creator Andrew Kreisberg), Pete Woods on art, and fan favorite David Finch providing not one but two covers, the book may have a fighting chance.
Long one of the jokes of the DC Universe, the Puerto Rican break-dancer Vibe (aka Paco Ramone) was introduced in 1984 by Gerry Conway and Chuck Patton as one of the members of Aquaman's Detroit Justice League. While there have been attempts to redeem the sonic vibration-manipulating hero in recent years, he's probably fared better in animated form on Justice League Unlimited and Cartoon Network's DC Nation programming block.
Justice League of America's Vibe #1 arrives Feb. 20.
Gregg Hurwitz is in the middle of writing an engaging exploration of the Scarecrow's New 52 origin in Batman: The Dark Knight (as well as fresh off of an Issue 0, in which the killer of Bruce Wayne's parents [Joe Chill] is detailed). Right before heading out to New York Comic Con last week, Hurwitz answered five questions that delved into his comics work in addition to his new prose novel The Survivor. I'm grateful to Hurwitz for squeezing me into his slammed schedule. After enjoying the interview, please be sure to check out CBR News' interview with Hurwitz from August, and pick up Batman: The Dark Knight 13 when it goes on sale Oct. 24. Also, if you want to get a taste for The Survivor, please be sure to read a chapter here for free.
Tim O'Shea: I love the line you wrote connecting Thomas Wayne and Atticus Finch in Issue 0. What was it about the two characters that allowed you to make that connection?
Gregg Hurwitz: I think it's an interesting contrast between the type of knock-you-over hero that Batman is and the quieter heroes we may encounter in our everyday lives. Atticus Finch has always symbolized the latter to me — a man of morals, quiet but stalwart and willing to do the right thing no matter the cost. That to me is the difference between Thomas and Bruce as well.
The Toronto Star highlights David Finch's FanExpo-exclusive cover for Batman: The Dark Knight #11, featuring a much sunnier shot of the Caped Crusader backed by at least part of the Toronto skyline. The CN Tower is instantly recognizable, but I'm not so sure about the rest of the buildings, in particular, those in the foreground, which also appear on the regular cover. Perhaps Toronto has a little-known Gotham City district — a Wee Gotham, if you will.
That cover and J. Scott Campbell's 50th-anniversary variant for The Amazing Spider-Man #692 will be available this weekend at FanExpo Canada, where attendees will also see the images gracing T-shirts, tote bags and lanyards. Other convention exclusives include a Jim Lee Before Watchmen lithograph and variant covers for Zenescope's Call of Wonderland and Grimm Fairy Tales.
Kicking off Thursday at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre, FanExpo Canada features such comics guests as Finch, Campbell, Stan Lee, Neal Adams, Brian Azzarello, Greg Capullo, Jimmy Cheung, Darwyn Cooke, Amanda Conner, Dan DiDio, Dale Eaglesham, Steve Epting, Adi Granov, J.G. Jones, Jeff Lemire, Franics Manapul, Frank Quitely, Jill Thompson and Ethan Van Sciver.

Living up to potential
Finley expected to play larger role
Green Bay — Tight end Jermichael Finley was a roll of the dice, another in a long list of Ted Thompson's athletic draft choices with tons of potential but not much production.
Finley's first season with the Green Bay Packers went about as expected. A third-year sophomore, Finley thought he was ready for prime time but really wasn't.
"Last year you had a 21-year-old kid who, and I'm probably embellishing, barely knew left from right," said Packers offensive coordinator Joe Philbin. "I don't want to say he was overwhelmed, but it was close."
It wasn't until the last two games of a 6-10 season that the Packers got something of a return on their third-round investment.
At Chicago, they saw him split wide and beat safety Kevin Payne deep for 35 yards. In the finale, he separated twice from Detroit safety Daniel Bullocks in man-to-man coverage for substantial gains.
Entering training camp, diligent Donald Lee is the starter, and Finley is as much a project as he is a player. The gap between veteran and youngster has narrowed, leading to the possibility that Finley's role could increase significantly.
"He's growing up," said tight ends coach Ben McAdoo. "The guy that is playing the best is going to play."
Finley was about as raw as raw could be as a rookie. As Payne and Bullocks discovered, however, someone with Finley's size and speed in the 40-yard dash (4.62 seconds) can be a matchup nightmare for a safety, let alone a linebacker.
After drafting a base tight end in Bubba Franks, the Packers tried to pair him with the speedier Tyrone Davis and David Martin. Each had his moments, just not enough to make anyone forget Keith Jackson.
Acquired in March 1995 from Miami for a second-round pick, Jackson didn't report until midseason. Then, in conjunction with Mark Chmura, Jackson put together a sensational season and a half culminated by victory in the Super Bowl, after which he retired.
In 31 games for the Packers, counting playoffs, Jackson caught six passes for 35 yards or more. In the 12 seasons since his retirement, all the tight ends in Green Bay have combined for only 10 receptions of 35 yards or more.
As outstanding as Chmura was from 1992-'99, his longest gain was 33 yards. Franks' career-best was 31 yards.
Fifteen tight ends had 500 or more receiving yards last season. Lee, with a career-best 575 in '07, has been the only Green Bay tight end to surpass 500 yards since Chmura in 1998.
By grabbing Finley, Thompson was gambling that he could reintroduce firepower to the position. Based on circumstantial evidence, Finley has the tools to sprint through a two-deep secondary or break a tackle and run a long way on a short crossing route.
"We're not averse to big plays down the field," Philbin said. "We're not here designing 3-yard plays if we can get a big one."
Married and the father of two children, Finley turned 22 in March. He hasn't grown into his body and remains too light at 247, but in time McAdoo expects him to be bigger naturally.
Inadequate as a blocker a year ago, Finley should become serviceable this year, according to McAdoo. The coaches don't question Finley's willingness to work. They see a player with growing confidence tinged with the understanding that he still has a lot to learn.
Finley's objective in camp is to prove trustworthy when Aaron Rodgers turns to him quickly in the red zone or against a fire zone.
"It's not what you know and not what he knows, it's the chemistry between the two," McAdoo said. "You know as well as I do it takes time. . . they've come a long way."
It stands to reason that the Packers would be able to run the ball better if one of the other two tight ends was a better blocker. Coach Mike McCarthy prefers athletes, so he'll have to live with Lee, rated by McAdoo as an adequate blocker, and Tory Humphrey, who for now remains No. 3.
Because Finley wasn't ready (98 snaps) and Humphrey (353) was the other backup, Lee was on the field for 778 plays, a 74.2% rate that the coaches deemed too high for an undersized player.
Earnest and eager to please, Lee asked only for more. It's possible his production as a receiver slipped because he wasn't as fresh.
"Toward the end of the year it may have caught up to him a little bit," McAdoo said. "You need to have more than one guy because of the amount of running they do during a year. But I think he had a better year than the year before. Rock solid. Love him."
The Packers thought so little of Humphrey that they didn't renew his contract in late February. Unwilling to spend for an unrestricted veteran, Thompson later gave Humphrey a $25,000 roster bonus and brought him back.
Free-agent returnee Evan Moore, another down-the-field threat, could challenge Humphrey if he can avoid injury.

Lupatech Jumps on Speculation of Odebrecht Takeover: Rio Mover
Lupatech SA, a Brazilian oil-equipment and services provider, rose to the highest in almost three months on speculation it has become a takeover target.
Lupatech, based in Caxias do Sul, Brazil, jumped 14 percent to 5.92 reais at the close in Sao Paulo, the highest since Nov. 21. The stock is up 33 percent this year, more than the 16.7 percent gain in Brazil's Bovespa index.
Odebrecht SA, a Brazilian construction and chemicals group that also makes oil platforms, is considering buying Lupatech, Estado de S. Paulo columnist Sonia Racy said on the newspaper's website today, without saying where she got the information.
Brazilian development bank BNDES and pension fund Petros last year agreed to buy a combined 300 million reais ($175 million) of Lupatech stock as part of a 700 million-real offer. Lupatech, which has posted losses every quarter since the beginning of 2010, is shifting its focus to oil exploration after bets that a production boom would stoke demand for its ropes and valves failed to materialize.
"They don't have liquidity and they are very leveraged," Erick Hood, an analyst at SLW Corretora brokerage, said by telephone from Sao Paulo. "Nothing is stopping other companies from making an offer, I think that would be viable."
Lupatech declined to comment in an e-mailed response. Odebrecht Oleo e Gas, the oil-equipment and services division of Odebrecht, doesn't have any "concrete" plans to make acquisitions at this time, the company said in an e-mailed response to questions. The company is "constantly studying" growth opportunities, it said.
Odebrecht's press office referred all questions on Lupatech to its oil-services division.

HOMESTEAD, FL - NOVEMBER 20: Carl Edwards, driver of the #99 Aflac Ford, drives during practice for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Ford 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 20, 2009 in Homestead, Florida. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images)
Carl Edwards had just about everything go right last season in the chase for his first Cup championship except win more races than Tony Stewart. Edwards is finding a repeat run toward a historic finale a bit trickier this season. Forget racing for the championship in the last race of the season. Edwards finds himself parked outside of the 10 automatic spots for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. It's not a quite a runner-up hangover. Edwards is having a solid season with eight top-10 finishes in 14 races that have him in 11th place entering Sunday's race at Michigan. Edwards has just run into a series of bad breaks that has the No. 99 needing a series of strong runs to crack the field. He was whacked with an early pass-through penalty for not falling to the rear of the field on an early restart last week at Pocono Raceway. He crashed because of a cut tire a week earlier at Dover. He ran out of gas in the final lap at Phoenix. He was caught up in wrecks at Talladega and Br...

OK, but here comes the rub: With (SAFETY 2) (SPEED 3), the type check is not weakened; however, normally, the type test for (OR STRING STREAM) would be weakened to T (and hence flushed), because T is the only convenient supertype (see MAYBE-WEAKEN-CHECK in checkgen.lisp). Why don't we get weakened type checking in the XEP with (SAFETY 2) (SPEED 3), then? Well, it's because compilation of the XEP occurs with a hardwired (SPEED 2) (DEBUG 1) to enable tail recursion (see MAKE-XEP in locall.lisp); if the prevailing SAFETY optimization is also 2, then this causes the test not to be weakened; if it is 1, then the test will be weakened and flushed, so (defun bug110-again (x) (declare (optimize (speed 3) (safety 1))) (declare (type (or string stream) x)) (cond ((typep x 'string) 'string) ((typep x 'stream) 'stream) (t 'none))) will effectively not check its argument type. This isn't to say that your changes leading towards this aren't a good one; it's much more to point out that there still exist circumstances where problems can arise. Personally, I'm in favour of some kind of weakened type checking with effects like the above, but I may not be in a majority on this one.

Information Papers
Army Community Covenant
What is it?
The Army Community Covenant is a formal commitment of support by states and local communities to Soldiers and their Families - active, Guard and Reserve. The Army Community Covenant is designed to develop and foster effective state and community partnerships with the Army working to improve Soldier and Family quality of life, while at their current duty stations and as they transfer from state to state.
Army Community Covenant
supporting those who serve
Together, we are committed to building strong communities.
We, the Community, recognize...
...The commitment Soldiers and Families are making every day.
...The strength of Soldiers comes from the strength of their Families.
...The strength of Families is supported by the strength of the Community.
...The strength of the Community comes from the support of Employers, Educators, Civic and Business Leaders and its Citizens.
We, the Community, are committed to...
...Building partnerships that support the strength, resilience and readiness of Soldiers and their Families.
...Assisting in the implementation of the Army Family Covenant.
What has the Army done?
In October 2007, the secretary of the Army initiated the Army Family Covenant. The Family Covenant symbolizes the Army's commitment to
Soldiers and their Families, a national treasure. The commitment is a formal recognition of their sacrifices, and the fact that they are
shouldering the burden of war for our nation. The senior leaders substantively backed up their commitment through funding a number of
quality of life programs. The Army continues to find ways to improve the quality of life of our Soldiers and their Families, thus improving
The Army has now launched the Community Covenant to reach out to local communities all across America. Response by communities has been tremendous. The first official signing of the Community Covenant took place at Fort Benning, Ga., on April 17, 2008. Many more are planned in the upcoming months.
Why is this important to the Army?
It is vitally important that local communities across America are aware of and recognize the sacrifices of Soldiers and their Families. Soldiers draw strength from their Families; and the Army and the nation rely on the strength of its Soldiers. The communities in which Soldiers and their Families live provide tremendous support and encouragement. Support from communities through local and national programs helps keep our Army strong.

The Heroes that Were Pigeons
Sprouted or germinating seeds presents the simplest method of providing your birds with fresh greens. They are a healthy food addition for all birds, but are absolute necessity for the feeding hen and for the newly weaned young. Sprouted or germinated seeds are usually more easily accepted by "seed addicts" than fresh fruits and vegetables.
Don't want to go through the trouble of sprouting?
I always provide sprouts every day without fail -- even if I don't have time to wash and cut veggies and fruits some days -- providing a spoonful of sprouts is so easy and convenient, and I know it's good for my birds. Sprouts offer an inexpensive and convenient way to feed fresh greens to your birds daily. (Please note sprouts should be rationed in "hormonal" birds - or those suffering from kidney disease. Rather than feeding daily, feed a few times a week, or per vet's recommendation.)
Little time, effort or space is needed to make sprouts.. In addition to the regular bird seeds, many seeds for sprouting are available in health food stores.
Basics of Sprouting:
You start with a good sprouting mix. Several producers of sprouting mixes are listed on this webpage. Take a small portion of it and rinse it well. Then cover it with water (1 part of seeds to 5 parts of water) and put it in the fridge overnight.
The next morning, rinse well and place in a common strainer (like the one to the right) and place the strainer in a plastic or glass container that allows any rinse water to drain into the container.
Water the mix several times a day thoroughly to remove any mold / bacteria, etc. and also to keep the sprouting mix moist -- a requirement for sprouting. Your sprouts should have an agreeable / sweetish scent. If you can detect a foul smell -- an indicator of bacteria or mold growing on it -- toss it. Don't feed to your birds. There are ways to prevent your sprouts from going off prematurely, one of which is to rinse frequently and thoroughly to rinse off mold, etc. Other tips are discussed below.
What is Needed for Sprouting:
To sprout seeds, the seeds are moistened, then left at room temperature (between 15.4 degrees and 69.8 degrees Fahrenheit or 13 and 21 degrees Celsius) in a sprouting vessel. Moisture, warmth, and in most cases, indirect sunlight are necessary for sprouting.
Many different types of vessels can be used:
Sprouts are rinsed as little as twice a day, but possibly three or four times a day in hotter climates, to prevent them from souring. I keep my sprouts right on the window sill above my sink -- that way they get plenty of light and I can't forget to rinse them throughout the day. If your house isn't air conditioned and you live in a hot and humid area, I would recommend keeping the sprouts in the fridge. They take longer to sprout, but you have less to worry about fungi, mildew or bacteria.
Birds like sprouts when they just started to open up, which usually happens after one day or so of sprouting.
Common causes for sprouts to turn out inedible:
These problems are easily solved by an automatic sprouter that mists and drains the sprouts at regular intervals. To control temperature, in the winter a warming blanket can be placed under the sprouter, and in the summer small fans in the lid if it's very hot and humid.
How much do I need?
For a few birds only a quarter cup of seeds should be sprouted at a time. Seeds increase in volume tremendously when sprouted. Place the seeds in a clean glass jar. Fill with tap water and let stand at room temperature for twenty-four hours. Rinse and drain completely. I keep the seeds in a sieve propped up in a plastic container and repeat the rinsing and draining completely daily until the seed has sprouted.
Ways to Keep Sprouted Seeds fresh longer:
If a foul odor or mold develops, discard.
Ways to prevent spoilage (choose one or a variation of the below - whatever works best for you):
Hydrogen Peroxide: Add 1 ounce 3% hydrogen peroxide to 1 pint of water and soak the seeds overnight. Add the same amount of hydrogen peroxide each time you rinse the seeds. (It prevents bacterial growth)
GSE: Alternatively, adding a few drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE) in the soaking and rinsing water will also prevent pathogens from developing. As an additional benefit, GSE also has good anti-parasitic properties.
Buffered, Powdered Vitamin C (example Nutricology or other brand): A little powder added to the sprouting water should keep it fresh.
Organic Apple Cider Vinegar: ACD alters pH and so is effective in killing many pathogens.
Rinsing and draining well is very important.
After sprouting commenced - keep refrigerated. Any surplus sprouts may be refrigerated up to two weeks.

Four clay pizza ovens worth £1,200 each were among the items stolen
Jamie Oliver and Raymond Blanc were on hand at the Chelsea Flower Show to highlight the importance of gardening and good food.
The demand for allotments has soared - because of Jamie Oliver.
Tonight's first visit to Jamie's gaff is "a right old rhubarb session", where he'll be cooking "the mothership recipe" and telling you to "clank it up".
"I'm bigging up Mr Bread"
"Even a raving idiot would know this is going to be tasty"
Just when you thought the 32-year-old professional teenager had transformed himself from a moronic Essex oik into a pioneering political campaigner and a fully fledged grown-up, Jamie Oliver reverted to type in Jamie At Home.
Jamie Oliver reverted to type in Jamie At Home.
So we've had Heston's reindeer milk ice-cream, Nigella swanning about with her jars of peaches and a fairy-light show that could be seen from outer space.
Jamie's Christmas menu is simple, unintimidating and absolutely mouth-watering
The cute picture-book graphics that accompany Jamie's latest series are strangely appropriate.

N.Y. Senate Will Vote on Same-Sex Marriage Bill, Skelos Says
New York Senate Majority Leader Dean Skelos said a bill backed by Governor Andrew Cuomo that would legalize same-sex marriage will be brought to the floor for a vote, ending almost two weeks of deliberation as supporters and opponents of the measure held vigils in the Capitol.
The decision by the Republican caucus paves the way for a vote as soon as tonight. If passed, New York would become the sixth and most-populous U.S. state to allow gay couples to wed. The Marriage Equality Act would amend state law to bar the denial of marriage licenses based on gender. It wouldn't compel religious institutions to perform such marriages.
Skelos issued a statement following an eight-hour conference in Albany to discuss amendments to the bill that provide additional protections to religious institutions. Half of the Senate's 62 members have expressed their intention to vote in favor, leaving it one vote short. The Democratic-controlled Assembly passed the bill 80-63 last week.
"The entire Senate Republican conference was insistent that amendments be made to the governor's original bill in order to protect the rights of religious institutions and not-for-profits with religious affiliations," Skelos, a Republican from Rockville Centre on suburban Long Island, said in the statement. "This is a very difficult issue and it will be a vote of conscience for every member of the Senate."
Top Priority
Mark Hansen, a spokesman for Skelos, declined to specify when a vote would be held. There are "a few other bills" and a committee meeting before debate on the measure will begin, he said in an e-mail.
Religious organizations wouldn't be required to "provide services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods or privileges for the solemnization or celebration of marriage," the bill says. Any such refusal "shall not create any civil claim or cause of action or result in any state or local government action to penalize, withhold benefits, or discriminate against" the organizations.
The entire act would be invalidated if a court strikes down any part of it, the bill says.
Cuomo, a 53-year-old Democrat, has made marriage equality one of three priorities in his first six months in office. The Legislature approved his ethics law for public officials on June 3. Skelos and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver have said they agree on his third goal, a property-tax cap, on which they may vote tonight.
Sixth State
Iowa, Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Connecticut issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, as does Washington, D.C., according to the Washington-based Human Rights Campaign, which advocates equal rights for gay, bisexual and transgender people. New York, along with Maryland, recognizes such marriages from other jurisdictions. With 19.4 million residents, New York is the third most-populous state.
Cuomo met with gay-rights advocates, delivered speeches and held private conferences with legislators in a bid to build momentum for the measure in the face of vocal opposition from Catholic Archbishop Timothy Dolan and other traditional-marriage supporters. Change of heart last week from three Democrats and two Republicans who helped defeat a similar bill in 2009 seemed to signal a vote was imminent. Cuomo had said that he wouldn't push for a vote unless he was confident it would pass.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who has compared the fight for gay-marriage rights to the civil-rights battles of the 1960s, visited Albany twice in the past six weeks to help Cuomo in his lobbying efforts. The mayor is founder and majority owner of Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP.
Swarming the Capitol
Advocacy groups from both sides of the debate have swarmed the Capitol in recent weeks, filling the halls outside the Senate chamber. Adversaries stood beside one another, holding signs that read "Defend Biblical Marriage" and "'I Do' Support Marriage Equality" as they jockeyed to make their chants and songs the loudest.
The cause also attracted a cadre of celebrities. "Sex and the City" actress Cynthia Nixon, New York Rangers hockey player Sean Avery and Food Network chef Mario Batali walked the Capitol halls to support the measure. Former New York Giants wide receiver David Tyree spoke out against it.
"To remain a global economic leader, New York must compete for intellectual capital, and marriage equality is one more way to attract the best and the brightest, regardless of sexual orientation," John Mack, chairman of Morgan Stanley, wrote in an op-ed earlier this month.
Economic Impact
A law approving same-sex nuptials would provide $142 million in economic benefit to New York City and $184 million to the state during the three years following its enactment, a 2007 report from the New York City comptroller's office found. The state would collect about $8 million more in taxes and fees, and save more than $100 million in health-care outlays. The city would collect about $7 million in taxes and fees and experience no impact on outlays, the report estimated.
Greater economic security resulting from marriage may spark more home-buying and generate more tax revenue, it said. Many of the largest private employers based in New York already offer health benefits to same-sex domestic partners.
Companies that offer spousal and family benefits may incur higher costs for health insurance, according to the report. It would cost about $11 million more annually for companies located in New York City and $21 million for those elsewhere.
Same-sex domestic partners of state and city agency employees already receive health benefits, making it "unlikely that the public sector would incur additional costs due to spousal health benefits" if same-sex marriage is legalized, the report said. The same is true of pension costs, it said.
A Siena College poll found that 55 percent of New York voters supported the legalization of same-sex marriage, while 40 percent were opposed and 5 percent were undeclared. The poll of 819 registered voters was conducted by telephone June 5-8 and had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points.


text: Im a full time Firefighter and just took the conceal class and waiting for my permit to come in. Our Fire Chief actually did the conceal class with us, he bought a Glock model 27 to conceal. So I know he's all for carrying concealed. Just not sure if he's going to allow us to carry while on duty. Im going to talk to him about it when I get my permit in the mail. Guys we go to all kinds of crazy medical calls all during the night, ive had to go in house's that were filled with very UNSTABLE people. Sometimes it gets rough. If I had to guess, he's prolly not going to let us carry concealed while on the job. Now, if we were allowed to carry and I did infact had to shoot someone while on the job would I go and render aid after shooting? Well when were on duty and we get called out to a shooting are stabbing were not allowed to enter until the LEO's get there, no question asked. And if we do enter without them there, well congradulations because your going home without pay for several shifts. If I had to shoot, I would let dispatch know by radio what happend, tell the dispatcher that my weapon is holstered, send a ambulance and get LEO's here ASAP.

U.N. committee is wrong to scold Catholic Church
The recent report released by the United Nations on the Holy See should be viewed as a flagrant attack on the moral teachings of the Catholic Church under the guise of "concern for child welfare." Perhaps not surprisingly, the recent sexual abuse headlines have created a certain window of opportunity for those who disagree with the church's position regarding contraception, abortion, gender ideology, homosexuality and the definition of family. They see the church's admitted failure in one area as reason to reinvigorate their campaign to delegitimize other areas. As if upon reading this report the 1.2 billion Catholics worldwide should all of a sudden feel scolded by some greater authority while at the same time not see the sad irony that a Committee on the Rights of the Child should be advocating for an expansion of abortion.
Beneath its thin veneer of concern for children, the report is a veritable self-portrait of the committee itself and some of the ironically anti-life undercurrents at the United Nations; revealing a not uncommon desire toward a global secular agenda with which the Catholic Church especially has interfered for centuries. But if permissiveness is established unchallenged as the moral benchmark of society, then the idea of transcendent moral truth can too easily be cast aside as too burdensome and insensitive, and as an obstruction to progressive ideologies.
The Catholic Church does maintain the importance of tolerance, but its value must always be subject to fidelity to moral truth. On the other hand, a moral truth that is subject to tolerance is forever changing and therefore loses its claim to truth. It is this to which the U.N. committee demands that the Catholic Church commit itself; requesting effectively that the Rock of Peter be replaced with the shifting sands of popular opinion.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-- Students at a Topeka Middle School were briefly evacuated from class Friday morning as crews investigated a fire alarm.
Two Topeka Fire crews were dispatched to Chase Middle School around 8:20 Friday morning after a fire alarm sounded. Firefighters searched the school and found no signs of smoke or fire.
Crews suggested that the alarm may have sounded because of faulty equipment, so a district electrician was called to the school for further investigation.
Students returned to class after fire crews gave the all clear.
Chase Middle School is located at 2250 NE State St, Topeka, KS 66616.

Gene Hoglan Talks New 'Atomic Clock' Instructional DVD, Drumming Technique + More
Gene Hoglan talks to Full Metal Jackie about his latest 'The Atomic Clock' instructional DVD.
Gene Hoglan talks to Full Metal Jackie about his latest 'The Atomic Clock' instructional DVD.
Drummer Gene Hoglan will soon be releasing an updated version of his 'The Atomic Clock' instructional DVD. He'll also be hitting the road soon, treating fans to 'The Gene Hoglan Experience,' where he'll share some of his drumming secrets. As a teaser for all of this, Hoglan recently spoke with Music Radar to share some of his drumming tips.
Gene Hoglan has drummed for more metal bands than would be prudent to list here, but his credits include legendary acts such as Testament, Fear Factory, Death and Dark Angel. Earlier this month, he announced that he's hitting the road with The Gene Hoglan Experience. Starting this fall, Hoglan will be going out to select locations for an intimate meet-and-greet with metal fans.
Thanks to the folks at The Daily Swarm, Noisecreep just found out about a hilarious video clip from last year (Yeah, we know we're late on this)...
Gene Hoglan, one of the most talented extreme metal drummers, has a resume dating back to 1983 when he was knocking heads in Los Angeles violent thrash band Dark Angel...

Party Rival Takes on Nevada Governor
(See Corrections & Amplifications below.)
LAS VEGAS—Many Nevada Republicans have abandoned their governor's campaign for another term, instead backing a moderate former federal judge who they see as the GOP's best bet to retain the governorship amid the state's changing voter demographics.
Brian Sandoval resigned in September from his lifetime appointment as a U.S. District Court judge to run for governor. His entry presents a challenge to Gov. Jim Gibbons but has energized some party faithful who had worried the GOP might lose the governor's seat.
Mr. Gibbons's approval ratings have fallen sharply following scandals including a messy divorce and the Republican governor's generally poor track record in working with the Democrat-led legislature to deal with Nevada's severe economic downturn. His vetoes have been continually overridden by the legislature, resulting in such things as tax increases and higher state fees on rental cars. On Sunday, though, Mr. Gibbons and legislative leaders did reach a final agreement to close an $887 million budget deficit.
The state GOP has also been shaken by the admission by Nevada Sen. John Ensign last year of an extramarital affair and the loss of the historically conservative state's electoral votes in 2008 to Barack Obama.
A spokesman for Mr. Gibbons, 65 years old, said his schedule was too tight to comment, but added that Mr. Gibbons planned to remind voters he has tried to hold the line on taxes and that the governor denied any improprieties in any of the scandals involving him.
Part of Mr. Sandoval's appeal is that he has been untouched by scandal. "The governor had his issues and I felt I could be a good candidate," said Mr. Sandoval, whom President George W. Bush appointed to the federal court in Reno in 2005. But many party officials also see Mr. Sandoval, 46 years old, as a different kind of Republican who can better appeal to today's voters in Nevada.
Mr. Sandoval is a Latino in a state where Latinos are gaining political clout, as in many Southwest states. His backers say he has a breadth of experience that appeals both to newly arrived urban voters and traditional rural voters. Before taking his judgeship, he was a Nevada assemblyman, a state attorney general and chairman of the Nevada Gaming Commission. He resigned from each of those posts to seek or accept new offices.
"He has experience and he has won statewide, which means he can appeal to urban voters in Las Vegas as well as more rural northern Nevada," said David Damore, an associate professor of political science at the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
If the June 8 GOP primary were held now, Mr. Sandoval would beat Mr. Gibbons 39% to 23%, according to a Jan. 10 Mason-Dixon Polling & Research survey for the Las Vegas Review Journal. The poll gave Mr. Sandoval a 35% to 20% advantage over Clark County Commissioner Rory Reid, son of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and Democratic front-runner for governor.
Mr. Sandoval has raised about $900,000 for his campaign so far, compared with about $150,000 for Mr. Gibbons, according to the campaigns' disclosures.
A spokesman for Mr. Reid, 47, said he wasn't available for comment. Other Democrats said Mr. Sandoval might represent a more formidable threat to Mr. Reid than Mr. Gibbons. "Sandoval is a Republican that some Democrats would like because he is moderate," said William Prezant, a Reno attorney and former Democratic strategist.
Some prominent Republicans are still in Mr. Gibbons's corner. "Gov. Gibbons is a tried and true force," said Bob Beers, a former state senator from Las Vegas. "I just don't think the governor has done anything to warrant turning him out."
Other Republicans fear that with Democrats in control of the Nevada Senate and Assembly, the GOP could lose the whole statehouse if Mr. Gibbons is the final candidate. "We have to have one of these three seats or we're out of business," said Monte Miller, a major Las Vegas donor who has shifted his funding support to Mr. Sandoval from Mr. Gibbons.
Some of the state's top Republicans have endorsed Mr. Sandoval, including Reno Mayor Bob Cashell and Heidi Gansert, minority floor leader in the Assembly, and Senate minority leader William Raggio. "You need someone like Sandoval who doesn't have baggage," said Bob Brunner, owner of a hauling firm in Henderson, Nev., and a former backer of Mr. Gibbons.
Republicans have been on the offensive nationwide, with gubernatorial wins in New Jersey and Virginia and a victory in the Massachusetts Senate race. A loss in Nevada—even though it has a population of only about three million—could be a setback for the party, political analysts say.
Mr. Sandoval faces some criticism from conservatives in his party that he is too moderate. He favors abortion rights, for example, while Mr. Gibbons and another Republican challenger, former North Las Vegas Mayor Mike Montandon, are both in the antiabortion camp.
Some of Mr. Sandoval's critics take issue with him for leaving so many jobs. "It sounds like quitting to me," said Mr. Montandon, 46, who is a distant third to Mr. Sandoval in polling and second in fund raising for the primary. Mr. Sandoval said he wasn't a quitter and that he has continued serving the public in each of his government jobs. He decided to run for governor, he said, after two Nevada Republicans—Mr. Ensign and former Assemblyman Pete Ernaut—asked if he would be interested. Since stepping down from the bench, he said, he has spent two-thirds of his time campaigning in Clark County—home to Las Vegas and the county where most Nevadans live. His wife and children have stayed behind at their home in Reno.
Like most Republicans on the stump these days, he vowed not to raise taxes in a state where the unemployment rate of 13% is second highest in the nation, after Michigan, and foreclosures are rampant. "The last thing we should do in a struggling economy," he told a small crowd of supporters at Las Vegas's Bootlegger Bistro recently, "is raise taxes."
