Ghost Recon: Future Soldier Could Prove That Even War Is Better Together
(PC, PS3, XBOX 360, Wii)
We get an early look at Ubisoft Paris' first foray into the Ghost Recon franchise, and learn that in the future, soldiers hold hands.
Set 10 to 15 years from now, the equipment that the Ghosts, and likewise their adversaries, in Future Soldier have is all based on technology that's currently under development for use by the United States military. The team at Red Storm (the guys behind the previous installments in the Ghost Recon series, and providing support for Ubisoft Paris) likened the Ghosts to, "F-16s on legs" -- a line from U.S. Army Natick R&D engineer and Future Force Warrior guru Jean-Louis DeGay. With their Iron Man-like shoulder-mounted mortar launchers, exoskeletons that allow them to carry hundreds of pounds of gear, and invisibility cloak-esque optical camouflage, there's little arguing with that notion. That's not to say that each member of the Ghost squad is geared up equally -- as a huge part of Future Soldier's gameplay is how well you work together with the differently equipped members of the team.
Ghost Recon: Future Soldier's squad combat slightly differs from past games in the series, mostly due to its class-based structure. Also gone is the micromanagement of your squad and the meticulous firing angle directions; they've been replaced with a general set of commands. Each Ghost falls into a different class and is equipped accordingly; for this demo we see the commando, recon, and engineer classes. Each class is outfitted with specialized gear and abilities: the commando with his shoulder mounted mortar launcher, the recon specialist complete with sniper rifle and optical camouflage, and the engineer who can pilot UAVs and launch EMP rockets to disable enemy missiles midflight. A drone that is basically a remote-controlled turret on wheels exists as its own class in the build as well, but the developers tell us that that due to how powerful it is, it would likely require some balancing and perhaps be thrown into the engineer's repertoire of armaments. All that's fine and good, but the real showpiece of the class system is how each of them work together.
As special task forces often have a decade or more of time spent working together under their belt, thus learning the intricacies of how their squadmates act and react in battle, players will be able to do the same with their squad of Ghosts in Future Soldier. Thanks to "linking up," a simple press-and-hold of a shoulder button when next to a squadmate during combat emulates those 10 years of experience. While linked up, the whole group moves as one entity, and the teammate that initiated the link-up is responsible for the navigation of all those connected. Additional members cover the various blind spots, so if only two teammates are linked up, then they walk back to back; if three are involved, then they move in a triangular formation. Up to eight squadmates can partake in this tactical movement at a time, but it looked like three to four members to a link-up is the ideal solution.
Not only do squads taking advantage of linking up benefit from the increased coverage from teammates, but also from their special class-based abilities. If a commando links up with a recon soldier and an engineer, the entire group gets granted the stealthiness provided by the optical camo, cover from the engineer's EMP and UAV, and the commando's ability to fire an additional round from his grenade launcher for each additional body involved in the link-up. Ubisoft is hoping that incentive to work as a team will differentiate Ghost Recon: Future Soldier from the increasingly crowded third-person shooter landscape.
We see very quick snippets of stand-alone gameplay initially, and then Ubisoft did show us some of the single player campaign; specifically a quick run up a mountainside road. Using cover provided by cars and various other barriers set around the area, the Ghosts lay waste to the ultranationalist Russian troops standing in their way. In usual Ghost Recon fashion, indicators mimicking what a soldier would see while wearing the high-tech cross-com visors flash all over the screen. While the visuals look a bit rough, it's worth noting that the game is still somewhat early in development. The multiplayer segments we see are solely used to display how the link-up system works, and not indicative of what to expect from the final product.
Future Soldier's single player campaign and multiplayer mode will have a lot in common with each other -- both with the ability to link-up, and in the game's character leveling. Any weapons unlocked on the single player side of the game carry over to the multiplayer and vice versa. Now if you are a multiplayer only person and your Internet goes out, you won't be starting a single player campaign cold turkey while you bide your time to go kill more dudes online.
With a tentative Fall 2010 release, in what I'm guessing will be the usual mid to late November timeframe Ubisoft has used the past few years, Ghost Recon: Future Soldier has a good amount of time to really become the successor to the series I had been waiting to hear word about for the past three years.

Let's seePosted: Apr 20, 2010 12:00AM PST by flexfire007
Well i agree another first person shooter game i just hope i works and is good to play let's see what they bring to the table that the other's didnt
not to surePosted: Apr 16, 2010 12:00AM PST by MrNicEgUy76
this game does look really sweet but i think it might be to little to late in an already saturated military based fps market, ghost recon is a classic franchise but i just think it's been on the shelf to long to make any significant dents, but i hope it proves me wrong...
huh...Posted: Apr 12, 2010 12:00AM PST by vza004
I like the cloaking and back-rockets idea but think on multiplayer. It's gonna be a pain once the players spam cloak with snipe or back-rockets and you keep dying without ever finding your killer. Like in MW2 when they spam grenade launchers with the scavenger perk equiped.
Not gonna lie..Posted: Apr 12, 2010 12:00AM PST by HotDogHero
the live action is cool and looks pretty sick but i prefer to see gameplay
MAYBE......Posted: Apr 12, 2010 12:00AM PST by Mr.LametoWatch
I hated Ghost Recon, but enjoyed G.R.A.W. very much so. Then again, I loved the Rainbow Six 3 series, but hated 1 & 2 plus Vegas. This game might be good or not.
Lame.Posted: Apr 12, 2010 12:00AM PST by MooseyMcMan
Actually, it might be decent, but I didn't really like any of the previous Ghost Recon games.

Feast Day of the Beheading of John the Baptist
Cardinal Kasper Debates John the Baptist
John the Baptist: For Herod himself had sent and apprehended John, and bound him in prison for the sake of Herodias the wife of Philip his brother, because he had married her.
Cardinal Kasper: Often pastors want to control human life. It's clericalism. They don't trust people and therefore don't respect the conscience of people.
John the Baptist: For John said to Herod: It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother' s wife.
Cardinal Kasper: Of course, we have to give guidelines from the Gospel and remind people of the commandments of the Lord, but then we should trust that the Holy Spirit is working in the hearts and in the conscience of our people.
John the Baptist: But Herod the tetrarch, when he was reproved by him for Herodias, his brother's wife, and for all the evils which Herod had done; he added this also above all, and shut up John in prison.
Cardinal Kasper: Therefore divorced and remarried people should find a good priest confessor who accompanies them for some time and if this second, civil marriage, is solid then the path of new orientation can end with a confession and absolution. Absolution means admission to Holy Communion. Continue reading
Josephus on the Execution of John the Baptist
No figure is as mysterious in Holy Writ as Saint John the Baptist, the Precursor sent to announce the coming of Christ, wrapped in the power and force of Elijah the prophet. In many ways the Baptist was the last of the Old Testament prophets, like them preaching tirelessly and fearlessly a message of repentance, and, like most of them, announcing that a Messiah was coming to bring salvation from God.
Today is the feast of the beheading of John the Baptist. It is a very old feast, as old, perhaps, as the other feast day we have for the birth of the Baptist.
The calls of the Baptist for repentance and his announcement that the long expected Messiah had arrived, had a shattering impact on his audiences, as they crowded around him to receive baptism. The fire of his faith, and his complete lack of fear, is a standing rebuke to Christians who have allowed their faith to grow cold, and who fear the World, the Flesh and the Devil more than they love the God who loves each of us as though there were no other Men except us.
Here is the description by the Jewish historian Josephus, in his Antiquities of the Jews, of the circumstances that gave rise to the imprisonment of John:
About this time Aretas, the king of Petra, and Herod the Tetrarch had a quarrel on account of the following. Herod the tetrarch had married the daughter of Aretas and had lived with her a great while; but once when he was on his way to Rome he lodged with his half-brother, also named Herod but who had a different mother, the high priest Simon's daughter. There he fell in love with Herodias, this latter Herod's wife, who was the daughter of their brother Aristobulus and the sister of Agrippa the Great. Continue reading
Feast Day of the Beheading of John the Baptist
August 29 is the feast day of the beheading of John the Baptist, the herald of Christ. Charlton Heston, in the video clip above, gave a powerful portrayal of the Baptist in The Greatest Story Ever Told, capturing the raw courage and energy that animated John the Baptist as a result of the blazing faith he had in God. Like Elijah, John came out of the wilderness to fearlessly proclaim the word of God, but what Elijah and the other prophets could only glimpse darkly, the coming of the Messiah, John saw with his own eyes. The last and greatest of the prophets, John fulfilled the role of Elijah as proclaimed by the prophet Malachi:
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. Continue reading

The location is excellent and the owner and her staff were very friendly and helpful. I felt very comfortable in the Modern Sultan Hotel.
Our room was rather small.
This hotel is in an excellent location in Istanbul. The owner and staff of the hotel are friendly and very helpful. Our stay was very pleasant and I'd stay here again.

"I haven't used the title of Darth since I stopped being a Sith. You just call me Lord or Tepe, whichever suits you better" he said just before Rellis went into the next room.
"Although, Sith Hunters always have trouble with titles, were they their own or mine" he said and looked at the closed door for a while. Then he finally heard his wife's question and shook his head quietly.
"I'm lacking on my meditations and I think now is the time for catching up. I don't know how long this period of no disturbance will be there" the man said, walking to Charna and looked into her eyes before giving her a kiss. The man indeed had not meditated in months, maybe even a total year and his contact with the Force had diminished. He knew it was still there to be reached, but not as easily as he had done it before. This was told even by his eyes which had reverted back into their original state of blue irises. So he sat down and began his meditations, feeling a strong surge of power from the roof at some point. To the outside world he smiled with his eyes closed at the power.
'Sith Hunters...' he thought and would've shaken his head if it had not disturbed his meditation
In the end it had been so that the pirates got to the planet before Aislin could leave, but knowing just as well from the information they recieved what kind of a ship they were up against, they knew she could get away even after they blockaded the panet. They couldn't use their cannons due the small target and the possibility it would result in an orbital bombardment as Aislin dodged every bolt they sent at her. So they used a tactic that would cause minimal destruction to the planet. They powered up their quad-turbolaser turrets and point-defense laser cannons and began shooting low-power shots on the ground that made at best a larger patch of burnt grass than anything else. This was to flush the woman down and once a moving non-synthetic object went on the move they would power up the lasers and lock-on so they could immobilize it and pull it in with the tractor beams.

It's official: Bayou Cane has a new fire chief
Published: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, October 14, 2008 at 2:02 p.m.
BAYOU CANE Bayou Cane Fire Departments newly appointed leader took an oath of office Monday to become the first new chief in nearly 30 years, officials said.
Charles Long, a former Florida fire lieutenant who has worked 22 years as a professional firefighter, has managed the department since moving to Terrebonne in mid-September.
Long, 46, arrived in the midst of the fire districts recovery from Hurricane Gustav and just before the departments outgoing chief left the state for surgery to remove a cancerous brain tumor.
Chief Jerry Gautreaux, who has worked at the department for 41 years, had what family members have termed a successful surgery at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. He plans to retire in January and remains on medical leave.
Though his training with Gautreaux was cut short, Long said he is ready to take over the position. He will manage four stations, a nearly $3 million annual budget and 65 firefighters. His yearly salary is $55,000.
Im confident, Long said after taking the oath, given by Terrebonne Parish Councilman Billy Hebert, who represents Bayou Cane. Thats what Im here for.
Long formerly worked with the Bonita Springs, Fla., fire department and is certified as an arson investigator, emergency medical technician, fire inspector and fire-service instructor, among other skills.
He moved to the parish Sept. 9 and began working almost a week later as Bayou Cane crews removed debris and cleared downed power lines. Having lived along Floridas Gulf Coast since he was a teen, Long said he is no stranger to hurricanes.
I knew what to expect, Long said. There was never a surprise.
His priorities include updating the stations operating procedures, a guide to how many firefighters and trucks respond to a blaze. They were last revised in the 1990s, when the district had less property to protect, he said.
He also plans to develop a detailed hurricane procedure for the department.
Long is also in charge of spending a $1.4 million federal grant to hire 14 firefighters over the next five years. The department has 10 applicants, he said.
Long said hed only seen Louisiana from a car window on drives to Texas before moving here. But he and his wife had no qualms about moving nearly 900 miles from family in Florida, he said.
Its a big step, but its something that we were ready for, he said. Im glad to be here.
Long is only the second paid chief in Bayou Cane Fire District history. Gautreaux became the departments first paid chief in 1981.
Gautreaux said in a phone interview that his surgery was successful, but he now faces radiation treatments.
Its been my life, my career, he said of Bayou Cane in a phone interview Monday. Its hard to walk away.

Question: Are condos which are purchased and then rented by their owners considered rental stock?
San Diego has a similar law, but condo converters get around the relocation assistance clause by announcing that the building will be demolished and condos will be built on the existing property. In truth, the building stands fenced in and boarded up sometimes for years.
The tenants, therefore, aren't notified about a conversion. They're evicted with a 60 day notice. And they don't receive a dime in relocation assistance.
I said it when this bill was originally introduced and I'll say it again: The condo conversion craze is over. This is unnecessary feel-good do-nothing legislation.
That condo conversion thing is a day late and a dollar short. With the housing market sliding along with credit markets, many condo constructions are being turned into apartments, and most of the conversions happened in the last three years, very few are happening today.
Now that governments are staring down the barrel of lower fee and tax revenue flowing from their buddies the developers, legislators are starting to feel guilty and stupid over what they've let happen to their renting constituents. Time to hit 'em up for a bill.
And while it's true that only an idiot would convert nowadays, don't think there aren't a few idiot landlords still looking to do it. This bill would protect their renters, and now.
And let's acknowledge the wisdom of getting this on the books now, while we finally can, so that it will be in place if another local real estate craze hits after X years of downturn. If we wait until another boom hits, the revenue flowing in will just get legislators looking the other way once again.
Do it now. If it fails now, do it again next session.
Why should any land owner be restricted from making money off of their property! This is pure socialism. People can pay their own damn moving costs!
And if you can't afford to live in the city, then move or get a better job. Sheesh. The government has no business tinkering with the free market in this case. There is no overreaching public interest in denying land owners their rights to do what they please with their property.
Hey, Rich Boswell, I've decided to file a mining claim on your property. I'm paying 10 cents an acre and I'll be looking for diamonds.
Might have to blast my way down there.
Hope you don't mind!
What a fantastically stupid idea.
Hint #1: limiting the supply of condos makes them more expensive, not less.
Hint #2: total housing units are growing faster than local population. WAY faster. therefore, the rental stock is actually *increasing.* (no, the Canadians are not using their still-strong dollar to turn our apartments into vacation homes.)
Hint #3: the housing bubble was caused by excessive lending. if you want to legislate against a repeat of it, treat the disease, not the symptoms.
All the condos are scars on beautiful city blocks.
Seattle should be ashamed at what it has allowed to happen to the metro area.
Eric Arr, FTW!
@9: Seattle should be ashamed for letting people build housing?

When she was 10 years old, Myla Goldberg threw a pair of scissors at her friend. It wasn't her best moment.
A few years ago, more than two decades later, the author found herself remembering that incident, and still felt pretty bad about it, so during Yom Kippur, she looked up the friend to atone for her sin. Turns out, the friend didn't remember it happening at all, but accepted the apology anyway.
"It was this great amnestic moment," said Goldberg. "We all subconsciously edit our lives, and you never know what random thing might bring something back."
It's moments like that that helped inspire the latest novel from Goldberg, who catapulted to literary fame 10 years ago with her debut, "Bee Season."
"The False Friend," out this month on Doubleday, focuses on a successful woman living in Chicago who, after 20 years, returns to her hometown to confess the role she played in the disappearance of a childhood friend, an assumed victim of abduction. All her life, she's lied about what really happened, blocking the traumatic memory, only to face the consequences of confronting her family, friends, and a past she had come to forget.
The result is a book that explores aging, the unreliability of memory, and the truths we accept or reject. It's thematically linked to the childhood trauma and remorse of Stephen King's "It" — without the blood, gore or clowns.
"We all used to be someone else in one way or another," said Goldberg. "It's a weird sort of feeling to go back to where you're from and face who you were."
This isn't the first time Goldberg has put her memory in a time machine.
"Both in this novel and my previous, 'Wickett's Remedy,' there is an interest in the fallibility of memory," said Goldberg, whose previous novel was set during the influenza pandemic of 1918. (Don't remember that bit of history? Exactly.)
Both novels are dramatic departures from her debut book, "Bee Season," a seemingly simple story about a girl, a spelling bee and its catastrophic effects on her family that put Goldberg on the literary map (having Hollywood turn it into a movie wasn't bad, either).
"I basically won the literary lottery," said Goldberg. "The lifestyle I have now — I can be a full-time writer — is due entirely to the fact that my first book did extremely well. It's extremely gratifying."
The hard part was how to follow that up, though the author feels at peace with people's expectations as she celebrates her third novel. In fact, she's pretty distanced from the borough's literary scene, save for her infrequent, low-stakes poker games with the likes of Colson Whitehead, Darin Strauss and Jonathan Lethem, "before he flew the coop."
"There's a very vibrant arts scene in Brooklyn, but I don't feel like I have any scene," said Goldberg, who's perfectly content playing board games at her Kensington home, seeing film retrospectives at BAM and playing the occasional gig with her art-punk band, the Walking Hellos.
After spending the last five years working on her new novel, she's also content to take a little breather from writing. Whether or not her next novel continues to explore the facets of memory — that remains to be seen.
"Certain issues stick with authors whether or not they want them to," said Goldberg. "Memory might be mine."
Myla Goldberg reads from "The False Friend" at Book Court [163 Court St. between Pacific and Dean streets in Cobble Hill, (718) 875-3677], Oct. 7 at 7 pm. Free. For info, visit www.bookcourt.org.

By Ben Sherman, Fort SillApril 11, 2013
FORT SILL, Okla. (April 11, 2013) -- Reynolds Army Community Hospital at Fort Sill has implemented a new way for patients and medical providers to communicate with each other.
Developed by Army Medical Command (MEDCOM), and officially known as the Army Medical Secure Messaging Service (AMSMS), the new system uses a commercial Web-based program that allows health care providers and patients to privately send messages and information between each other through a secure link, similar to secure banking Web sites.
"This is essentially an instant messaging system, where patients will have direct access to providers here at the hospital, either doctors like myself or our nurses," said Dave Anderson, family practice physician at RACH. "If patients have a question or concern, or they want to refill a prescription, they can send us a secure message. And that's going to be a lot faster, because it is not limited to 9 to 5 or whatever our hours are. If it's after work they can send us a message.
"Likewise, we can contact them any time, say we get lab results or a report on their X-rays or something like that, we can send them a message saying 'your labs are normal' or 'your blood sugars are high and we need to see you.' It's just going to speed things up and make it easier to take advantage of modern technology," he said.
Anderson points out they already have an electronic records management system called AHLTA (Armed Forces Health Longitudinal Technology Application), which is universal throughout the military.
"AHLTA is digital record-keeping for typical patient care - office visits, check-ups, tests and such, no matter where they are, even when Soldiers are overseas. And, we are ahead of our civilian counterparts in that respect," Anderson said.
Previous communication between patients and providers involved telephone consults, and if that couldn't solve of the medical issue, the patients would have to come in and spend an hour and a half to two hours waiting to see their provider. The old system also meant nurses spent a lot of their time returning phone calls instead of providing patient care.
This new secure email system is a more efficient way of communicating with patients, and is for medical information only. Messages do not go to the patient's regular email account, but are available through a secure site that only the patient and their health care team can access. The system is more secure than telephone calls or regular email, and is fully compliant with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act or HIPAA.
Army Medicine began implementing the AMSMS program in 2012 by issuing 2,000 licenses to primary care clinics at 48 military treatment facilities. Since then more treatment facilities have been licensed, including RACH. The ultimate goal is to license an additional 5,000 primary and specialty clinics (orthopedics, ob-gyn, etc.) by 2014.
"We have been running this system over the past month or so, and all patients have to do is say they want to be part of it. They can call our front desk, and we will add them to our list. We then send them an email, and it will automatically set up the system on their home computer. After that, they can send messages back and forth to us," said Anderson. "As we are seeing patients we are signing them up, and little by little we are building up our list."
The secure messaging system allows providers to send health education information specifically tailored to a patient's medical profile. It can also notify a patient when there are changes concerning medication they are taking. If there is a conflict with another medication they are taking, the system can advise them to stop taking the medication and see their provider as soon as possible.
"At Reynolds we've always been pretty good at preventive medicine, but with this we are going to be able to communicate with patients better. We can collect all of the patients who need a procedure such as mammograms or colonoscopy, or patients with high blood pressure who haven't done their lab tests for a while, and we can send out a mass email to remind them," Anderson said.
The secure messaging system is for routine care issues only and is not intended to answer urgent care questions. Patients with critical care needs should go to the nearest emergency room.
RACH patients who are interested in participating in the secure instant messaging system can contact their primary care provider or nurse at the hospital and ask to be added to the list.

"Ghostbusters": 10 Facts About the Franchise You Thought You Knew
Publishing | Dark Horse founder and CEO Mike Richardson looks back at 30 years in the business in a two-part interview that covers the rise of shoujo manga and the way it changed American comics, the evolution of comics distribution and the direct market, the status quo and future plans for Dark Horse, and how the comics world is changing and continues to change: "The internet, of course, has changed the industry dramatically. The comic book industry was pretty much focused on the East Coast. As the internet rose, it helped companies like Dark Horse build a comics industry here in Portland. Portland right now is probably the epicenter of the comic book industry in the United States — companies, creators, organizations, all related to comics. We have a huge comic book population here from all angles of the business. It's pretty amazing." [ICv2]
Graphic novels | The best word to describe October's BookScan Top 20 is "diverse." No one publisher or genre dominated the list, which tracks graphic novel sales in bookstores. The list boasts four entries from perennial bestseller The Walking Dead, including the first and third volume of the massive Walking Dead Compendium; five volumes of manga, including the final volume of Naruto and the first three volumes of Tokyo Ghoul; two Star Wars collections; two kid-friendly titles, the first volume of Avatar: The Last Airbender: Smoke and Shadow and the second volume of Lumberjanes; two Batman books; and Adrian Tomine's Killing and Dying. If any one publisher dominated, it was Image Comics, with six books on the list, including the four Walking Dead titles, the fifth volume of Saga, and the first volume of Bitch Planet. [ICv2]
Festivals | After moving the event last year from New York City's 69th Regiment Armory to Center 548, the Society of Illustrators has announced a new host venue for the 2016 MoCCA Arts Festival: Metropolitan West on West 46th Street, between 10th and 11th avenues. Programming will be held at Ink48, a boutique hotel at the corner of 10th Avenue and West 48th Street. The festival is scheduled for April 2-3. [Society of Illustrators]
Hang Dai Editions is the imprint of Hang Dai Studio, the Brooklyn collective formed by Dean Haspiel, Gregory Benton, Josh Neufeld and the late Seth Kushner. All of them were already well known, Haspiel as a prolific independent cartoonist as well as the artist for Archie Comics' The Fox, Benton as the creator of B+F, which won the MoCCA Festival award last year, Neufeld as the creator of A.D.: New Orleans After the Deluge and the artist for The Influencing Machine: Brooke Gladstone on the Media, and Kushner, who died in May, as a talented photographer and writer whose works included Leaping Tall Buildings, for which he photographed many prominent comics creators, and Schmuck.
The first titles to be published by Hang Dai were minicomics that the creators hand-sold at shows, but recently the collective announced a slate of comics that will be distributed to a wider audience this fall through Alternative Comics.
In an interview with ROBOT 6, Haspiel and Benton talk about the evolution of Hang Dai, the new fall line and the loss of Kushner. They also shared some art from their upcoming books Beef With Tomato (Haspiel) and Smoke (Benton).
Passings | Inker Rick Ketcham has passed away. Details are sparse, but Ketcham's Facebook quickly filled with tributes from friends and colleagues who hailed his kindness, his professionalism, and his willingness to mentor others. Ketcham worked on a number of titles for DC Comics, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image Comics and other publishers, including The Amazing Spider-Man, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, G.I. Joe, New X-Men, Runaways and Venom. [Tsunami Studios Facebook]
Political cartoons | Cartoonist Milt Priggee stands by his editorial cartoon, which appeared in the Kitsap (Washington) Sun, depicting a recently slain toddler as an angel and "America's gun culture" as the devil. Priggee and the newspaper's editor have come under fire from the public and from the grandfather of the 2-year-old, who accuse him of using a tragedy to score political points. Priggee said his goal was to get people to think critically about gun culture: "A cartoon is a simple machine to make the reader think, not joke. It's not a comic strip, it's not entertainment, and this is where newspapers have fallen down. They have not taken any kind of opportunity to educate the public because a lot of times people come to an editorial cartoon and they say, 'Well there's nothing funny about this. Why is this in the newspaper?'" [MyNorthwest.com]
Founded in 2013 by Gregory Benton, Dean Haspiel and Seth Kushner, the Brooklyn-based HANG DAI Editions (HDE) imprint has always struck me as more of a family.
This weekend, Benton, Haspiel, Kushner and Josh Neufeld, who joined HANG Dai last year, premiere new comics at MoCCA Fest 2015 [at Table 314]. To mark the occasion, I conducted a brief Q&A with each creator, in which they share what makes MoCCA such a great show.
No one is happier about it than Kushner, particularly as MoCCA 2014 was the last show he attended before his diagnosis with myeloid acute leukemia. So, much to everyone's delight, MoCCA 2015 heralds Kushner's return to comics.
Passings | Cartoonist and illustrator Roy Doty, best known for his long-running Wordless Workshop cartoon, has died at age 92. Wordless Workshop, which ran in Family Handyman and other similar publications, featured a pipe-smoking handyman who, when faced with a domestic problem of some sort, would immediately visualize something he could build, including a simple set of plans. Doty also illustrated over 100 children's books, including several by Judy Blume, and drew a syndicated Laugh-In comic based on the television show Rowan and Martin's Laugh-In. He had a short-lived show of his own on the Dumont Network in 1953, in which he told stories and drew cartoons. He won 10 awards from the National Cartoonists Society, including their Gold Key Hall of Fame Award, and continued to be an active cartoonist until last year. [Mike Lynch Cartoons]
Continuing with our annual "Looking Forward, Looking Back" feature, we asked some creators and other industry figures what they liked in 2014, what they're looking forward to in 2015, and what projects they have planned for the coming year.
In this installment, hear from Hope Larson, Jason Latour, Jess Fink, Sophie Goldstein, Chris Schweizer, Shawn Crystal, Dean Haspiel, Andrew MacLean, Stephanie Cooke, Nolan T. Jones, Erica Schultz and Fred Van Lente!
Be sure to check out Part 1 and Part 2, and don't forget to come back this afternoon for more.
Since his Myeloid Acute Leukemia diagnosis in April, I have been following Seth Kushner's arduous medical journey. The various rounds of chemotherapy did not seem to be the hardest part of the experience for the photographer/comics writer. For him, the biggest hardship (other than the fight for his life, of course) was the fact that his frequent bouts of hospitalization for treatments kept him away from his home with his wife, Terra, and their young son.
Conventions | With the 20th Small Press Expo kicking off Saturday in Bethesda, Maryland, The Washington Post's Lori McCue singles out three of the show's biggest draws: appearances by Jules Feiffer, Lynda Barry and Bob Mankoff. Meanwhile, Michael Cavna spotlights Fear, My Dear, the new release from convention guest Dean Haspiel. [The Washington Post]
Creators | As he prepared to head out to Small Press Expo, Farel Dalrymple paused for an audio interview about his newest book, The Wrenchies, which will debut at the show. [Comics Grinder]
Creators | Writer Tom Taylor teases what we can expect in his new Superior Iron Man series. [Previews World]
If you asked me for a list of some of the best superhero comics of the past year or so, I'd be sure to mention one that comes not from DC Comics or Marvel, two companies synonymous with the genre, but from Archie Comics, a publisher popularly known for not making superhero comics.
That comic would be the one starring The Fox, a Golden Age superhero from MLJ Comics (which would eventually become Archie Comics) that was recently resurrected in a well-made, well-received miniseries, now available in the collection The Fox: Freak Magnet.
Archie's approach to the book seems to have been somewhat Marvel-ous, in several respects.
First, the publisher appears to have allowed a talented creator, Dean Haspiel, to do pretty much whatever he liked with the relatively minor character, and he chose to stick with what came before, but to take it in his own, idiosyncratic direction, not unlike Marvel's post-Hawkeye strategy for its secondary, non-franchise books.
Graphic novels | BookScan's list of the bestselling graphic novels in bookstores in March divides neatly into eight Image Comics titles (six volumes of The Walking Dead and two of Saga), eight volumes of manga (four Attack on Titan, four Viz Media titles) and four volumes of media tie-ins. For the second month in a row, not a single DC Comics or Marvel title cracked the Top 20, although an older DK Publishing character guide to the Avengers (not actually a graphic novel) came in at No. 11. The top-selling title was the 20th volume of The Walking Dead, and the No. 2 was the third volume of Saga. It's also interesting to note that the first three volumes of Attack on Titan charted higher than the most recent release, which suggests new readers are still coming into the franchise in substantial numbers — and sticking with it. [ICv2]
This week writer and photojournalist Seth Kushner launched the Kickstarter for Schmuck, his semi-autobio/anthology graphic novel about his quest to find love in New York City. While portions of the collection originally ran online at TripCity.net, even those aspects will be remastered and/or colored for the 168-page trade paperback.
This collection, which features the work of 22 artists, also marks the inaugural release of HANG DAI Editions. The HANG DAI imprint, which was founded in New York City by Gregory Benton, Dean Haspiel, Josh Neufeld and Kushner, focuses on "limited edition comix, graphic novels, and art books, with an emphasis on personal interaction at events, conventions, and signings".
Comics | Once the paperwork is complete, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library will officially own the original artwork for the 1964 DC Comics story "Superman's Mission For President Kennedy," fulfilling one of artist Al Plastino's final wishes. Plastino, who passed away Nov. 25 at age 91, was surprised to discover at New York Comic Con a month earlier that the pages hadn't been donated to the library five decades earlier, as he'd been led to believe, but were instead set to be sold at auction on the 50th anniversary of the Kennedy assassination. The auction was put on hold until questions of ownership could be resolved, and Plastino spent the final weeks of his life campaigning for the return of the artwork, even petitioning a judge to force the auction house to reveal the name of the seller. DC Entertainment intervened in December to acquire the pages and give them to the library. "We are thrilled to receive this historic artwork and look forward to sharing it with the public when the legal transfer is completed," library director Tom Putnam said in a statement. [Newsday]

The location was good, it was close enough to the Prudential Center that you could really get anywhere after a 5 minute walk. The room was well decorated and functional. I also didn't mind using key codes instead of a physical key.

Convenience to Back Bay Amtrak station. Close to my convention at Hynes Center.
Price. Price of room at St Botolph Inn too high for similar facilities in the neighborhood.Some floors not recently cleaned e.g. elevator. Cumbersome code for entry to building. An awning over the entrance could keep rain off.

Size, location, decor, staff all were terrific.
Needs new furniture and a little more detail in cleaning; room could use a second arm chair and replace the lumpy one, too.

The Stranger Suggests
'Parting Glances' at SIFF Cinema at McCaw Hall
The high point of this year's Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival is a scrappy indie movie from 1986 starring Steve Buscemi as a rock star on the ascent who's also an AIDS patient on the decline. Tender and resolutely unsentimental, Parting Glances avoided future AIDS movie clichés not because the example had yet to be set, but because its interests lay elsewhere—in a study of a sexually complicated friendship and in a loving portrait of bohemian New York suddenly aware of its own foreshortened prospects.

Leading The Way To Find The Heroes Among Us
Monday October 29th, 2012 - 10:30AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
It's not always easy to identify the heroes among us.
Case in point: Little did I suspect during the welcome breakfast at the recent IHA Chief Housewares Executive Super Session that the young man with the polite Southern drawl and pale leather coat discussing his latest country music recording would turn out to be a former Army Ranger from the 1993 special operations mission in Mogadishu, Somalia, immortalized in book and film as "Blackhawk Down."
And little did I suspect that the former Army Ranger, Keni Thomas, would deliver a stirring presentation that would transform his harrowing experiences from a day that left 19 of his fellow soldiers dead into an uplifting tale of leadership that ultimately saved the lives of so many more.
'Fight As You Train'
Military strategy has become something of a cliché reference for business strategy. Thomas, nonetheless, drew a compelling line between preparing for the possibilities of ground warfare to preparing for the possibilities a company might encounter (while certainly less grave by comparison).
Thomas' core message is simple and clear: "Train as you fight… Fight as you train… Lead by example."
In his conclusions about leadership, colored vividly by the 18-hour firefight that ensued after the Blackhawk helicopter was shot down, are salient points deployable by decision-makers in today's volatile business climate.
Here are some sound bites from Thomas' presentation:
• "Standard Operating Procedures in the military are tried and true. When you start skipping steps, that's complacency."
• "If you have people that are not up to high standards, it can cripple you… You can't stand over them and do the job for them. Don't bring your standards down."
What If?
• "Plan. 'What if' everything you can think of. Then train, train and train some more. You're going to be hit with something some day. How you react will be based on how well you were trained."
• "Each one of us was the single most important piece… [Your employees] need to know what it means to be counted on."
• "Ask yourselves everyday: 'How do I prove that I've set an example for others to follow?' Because, there's going to be a day when you're not there."
Thomas throughout his speech referenced a fellow ranger, David Floyd, an awkward soldier who became something of a whipping boy in the battalion. Thomas, a sergeant, often bore the wrath of his commander when Floyd didn't complete his drills on time.
Weakest Link
"We pushed that young man, and when he failed, we all failed," Thomas said of Floyd. Wouldn't you know it was Floyd who fired the crucial rounds that helped to stabilize the Blackhawk rescue. "All the training worked," Thomas said. "The weakest link ended up saving us all."
"You have no idea of the impact you have on people until it comes back to affect you," Thomas continued, reminding the audience of housewares leaders that their actions deliver the desired outcome most effectively by preparing and entrusting each person needed to reach that outcome.
Thomas finished with a song, an homage to soldiers whose courage and leadership inspired him. The lyric— "The world becomes a better place when someone stands and leads the way, steps forward when they'd rather say, 'Not me,'" sums up his message.
In combat, in business and in life: the heroes among us might surprise you.
—Peter Giannetti

|Key Info
The Stable is one of 4 cottages grouped around a beautiful courtyard garden that belong to At the Farm on the Knowle Estate. This cottage has a bright, English country cottage style interior. It sleeps 4 in two bedrooms-one double and one twin. The living room comfortably seats 3 and has a wooden floor, wood burner, flat screen TV, DVD player, CD player and Wi-Fi. The bathroom has a bath with shower over and curved glass shower screen. Quality bedding and linen provided. The kitchen/diner is well equipped, with cooker, fridge/freezer, washing machine and microwave and seating for 4 people. Outside -The Stable has its own area with table, chairs and BBQ (in the summer months). There is ample parking, a children's play area with swing set, slide and trampoline and forty acres of organic farmland to explore.The Estate and its farmhouse were created in 1350 and was originally owned by Glastonbury Abbey. It rests comfortably in one of those hidden valleys of rural Somerset where the only traffic noise you'll ever hear is the clip clop of the occasional horse or perhaps the postman's van. Set in the rural centre of the triangle that is formed by Wells, Shepton Mallet and Glastonbury, The Stable will welcome you and your family to a comfortable country retreat which you can use to relax or as a base to explore the interesting surrounding area. There are many wonderful attractions within striking distance of At the Farm. You can marvel at the magnificent cathedral in England's smallest city, Wells, or browse the famous antique markets held at the Royal Bath and West showground several times a year. This part of Somerset is steeped in history with Glastonbury one of the nearest and most famous points of interest. Legend has it that King Arthur was buried in the Abbey and there is certainly something mysterious about the place and a climb up the Tor, which you can see from the estate, will not be forgotten. In the neighboring village of Pilton other legends perform to a vast and appreciative crowd and the Glastonbury Festival has worldwide fame. Wookey Hole Caves and Longleat are both within easy reach and famous centres for all the family to enjoy. Bath is less than an hours drive.So whether it's a long or short holiday, a visit to one of the local schools or a stopover on business, At the Farm will provide the accommodation you need.

We'll be happy to point you in the right direction for your particular pallet and pocket.
So whether it's a long or short holiday, a visit to one of the local schools or a stop over on business, The Knowle Estate will provide the accommodation you need.

I am attempting to adjust the date format on my Wordpress theme to read e.g "20th Jan" rather than the full date.
I have adjusted the code as such according to the Wordpress codex:
<time datetime="<?php the_date( 'j, S, M' ); ?>" pubdate><?php the_date(); ?> </time>
According to the codex this should give 17, th, Jan.
Odd thing is, this does show up in the code when I view page source or inspect, but doesn't show up in view anywhere. Inspected code looks like:
<time datetime="17, th, Jan" pubdate=""> </time>
So it seems it's generating the right code but then not outputting it. What have I done wrong?
