Arsene Wenger came back from his international duty full of ideas as to where England are going wrong - and immediately fell about laughing when reminded one of Spain's great strengths used to be held up as one of England's old excuses.
Wenger, who was a TV pundit at Spain's win over France in Paris, claimed the World and European champions had a massive advantage because their team is almost exclusively made up of players from Real Madrid and Barcelona.
Trouble is, Arsene, when England's squad was mainly made up of Manchester United and Liverpool players a few years back we used to talk about splits in the camps and cliques.
Now, from a position where Arsenal's squad was largely made up of foreign players, Wenger is blessed with a glut of exciting young British players.
At the core is Jack Wilshere - and it was easy to see how much he was missed by England after their draw in Montenegro.
And if ever someone could provide some insight and commentary as to where England are going wrong, then it must be Wenger. His points were fascinating, but fundamentally it comes down to the fact England are ruing the absence of one player. Spain probably have six world class players on the bench.
When asked whether there is too much pressure being placed on Wilshere, Wenger said: "Yes. The country doesn't depend one player, no matter how good he is. I believe what is the quality of a country is the number of good players they have.
"Jack is a fantastic player but it would be too much pressure on him to say England's future depends on him.
"The other night, Silva didn't play for Spain in France and on the bench you had Mata, Cazorla, Fabregas - and that is what you want to see from big football countries: that it doesn't depend just on one player."
Wenger smiled as he was asked about Arsenal now providing good young players for England like Wilshere, Theo Walcott, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Kieran Gibbs and Carl Jenkinson.
"That is what we try to do," said Wenger. "What people forget about Spain, and what they do not talk enough about, is the big advantage of a good national team is when it is based on two (club) teams.
"In the starting line-up of Spain, you have many times seven players from Barcelona, three or four from Real Madrid. The other night (Nacho) Monreal was the only player who was not from Barcelona or Real Madrid.
"That is a massive advantage when you go into a game like that, because you can play like a club. If we can have four, five or six (England players) at one club, it will become a massive advantage for England.
"At the moment, all of these players are spread everywhere. To look like a good team, you have moments like that where you play well for one half, then suddenly something disappears and you have no team anymore, because the players come from too many clubs."
Wenger also claimed that he will always release players for qualifiers. He admitted that friendlies are a different matter but also said he will have no problem with Wilshere, Walcott and Oxlade-Chamberlain playing in England's end-of-season friendly in Brazil.
"If he (Wilshere) is selected, he will go. It depends what kind of shape he will be in. If he has no kind of problems, why not?" said Wenger.
"It is a job where you need to play and where you have a physical gamble but he doesn't need any special treatment. You just have to be cautious with the inflammations of his ankle sometimes but if he has no problem, why not?
"I have no conversation with the (international) manager, especially when it's a competitive game. When they fight for points, he uses the players like he wants to. I don't interfere in that.
"When it's a friendly, you try to influence a bit in your favour when it's needed. I believe that every manager does that. When it's competitive like it was in the last two games, just let the manager get on with it."
So where did Wenger think it went wrong in Montenegro? England played arguably their best 45 minutes of football under Roy Hodgson in the first half and their worst in the second half.
Arsenal have mirrored that form in the Premier League. They would be bottom half of the table based on first half results and fighting for the title on second half results.
"There are so many reasons [as to why football can be a game of two halves," said Wenger. "Most of the time it is down to the opponent.
"You could be in a press conference where people from Montenegro say the same to their coach: 'How can we play so badly in the first half and so well in the second?'
"That is just the mystery of human beings. Most of the time it is linked with psychological problems, sometimes it is linked with physical problems, sometimes technical problem. If you can't keep the ball you will be under pressure.
"It is very frustrating for the manager. But it takes very little to destabilise a team. You can play very well for 30 minutes but then one player loses one ball where he should not do, the opponent has a goal chance. It is very fragile but it is very interesting too."
Wenger also made it clear that Wilshere will be safe in Arsenal's hands and England should have no long term fears about his fitness despite his initial suggestion Jack would be back by now.
"We deferred a little bit his rehab by one week," admitted Wenger. "We gave him one more week rest because it was wise medically to do it.
"We will rest him when it is needed. He has regular scans and as soon as we have an alert we will respect it no matter what is at stake.
"He had a difficult moment of course when you told him because he didn't feel any special pain. But he knows he has to take care of his future. Because he is a very young player, I think he accepts it."

I doubled this recipe to top a French silk pie and to have some if people wanted it for a French Lemon Pie. This recipe doubled great and tasted good too. I have never made stabilized whipped cream before, but the directions were clear, and it was easy. Thank you for posting this, I will definitely use it again!
I've been using this method for absolute yonks and it works every time. I like to make desserts for Saturday lunch, but usually make them on Friday afternoon, so I really need some stabilized cream. This works beautifully, so if you need whipped cream that will stand the test of time, this one is it!

Tyke Tolbert is in his sixth year with the Denver Broncos coaching the wide receivers in 2016—a position he has instructed with three previous teams since joining the NFL ranks in 2003. He is entering his 14th NFL season and was named to his current position on Jan. 17, 2011.
Before joining the Broncos, Tolbert spent the 2010 season coaching in Carolina, preceded by six seasons with Buffalo (2004-09) and one year with Arizona (2003).
In 2014, Tolbert coached the NFL's top wide receiver tandem with Demaryius Thomas (111-1,619, 11 TD) and Emmanuel Sanders (101-1,404, 9 TD) combining for the most receptions (212) and receiving yards (3,023) by a league duo.

Before joining the Broncos, Tolbert spent the 2010 season coaching in Carolina, preceded by six seasons with Buffalo (2004-09) and one year with Arizona (2003).
In 2014, Tolbert coached the NFL's top wide receiver tandem with Demaryius Thomas (111-1,619, 11 TD) and Emmanuel Sanders (101-1,404, 9 TD) combining for the most receptions (212) and receiving yards (3,023) by a league duo.
Thomas' 1,619 receiving yards set a franchise single-season record as the fifth-year player earned his third career Pro Bowl selection and joined Jerry Rice and Marvin Harrison as the only receivers in NFL history with three consecutive 1,400-yard, 10-touchdown seasons. Thomas' 2014 campaign included a team-record seven consecutive 100-yard receiving games and a 226-yard output against Arizona in Week 5 that represented the highest single-game total in club annals.
Sanders, who was signed as a free agent after four seasons in Pittsburgh, was named to his first Pro Bowl in 2014 after posting the fourth-most receiving yards (1,404) and fifth-most catches (101) in league history by a player in his first year with a new team.
In 2013, Tolbert coached a unit that produced three players with 10-plus touchdowns (Thomas – 14; Eric Decker – 11; Wes Welker – 10) along with two 1,000-yard performers (Thomas – 1,430; Decker – 1,288) as Denver's offense set the NFL's single-season scoring record (606 pts.)..
Thomas, whose 14 receiving scores in 2013 tied a franchise record, earned his second career Pro Bowl honor and was named a second-team All-Pro selection by the Associated Press. Thomas and Decker became just the second pair of teammates (Cris Carter/Randy Moss, Min. – 1998-99) to post 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns each in consecutive seasons. Welker set a career high with 10 touchdowns, including at least one in an NFL-record six straight games to begin a season with a new team.
Denver's 2012 wide receiver group helped Denver's fifth-ranked passing offense score 30 or more points in a team-record 11 games. Third-year wideouts Decker and Thomas became the youngest tandem in NFL history to record 1,000 yards and 10 touchdowns each in a season, while veteran Brandon Stokley became one of 10 players in league annals to post 40 receptions and five touchdowns after the age of 36.
Teaming with quarterback Peyton Manning, Thomas earned his first career Pro Bowl selection after finishing fourth in the NFL with 1,434 yards and 10 touchdowns on 94 receptions (15.3 avg.), while Decker posted 85 receptions for 1,064 yards (12.5 avg.) and an AFC-best 13 touchdowns. The young wideouts also tied for first in the AFC with four receiving scores apiece on third down.
Thomas and Decker emerged as solid targets under Tolbert's instruction in 2011, combining for 76 receptions for 1,163 yards (15.3 avg.) with 12 touchdowns in Denver's run-heavy offense led by quarterback Tim Tebow. Fourth-year wideouts Eddie Royal and Matthew Willis also provided steady production after a trade in Week 6 that sent Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Lloyd to St. Louis.
In Buffalo, Tolbert helped wide receiver Lee Evans become one of the most productive receivers in Bills history. Evans led all NFL rookies in 2004 with nine touchdown receptions and a 17.6-yard average per catch. After finishing second in the NFL with seven receptions for 40-plus yards in 2005, Evans continued to improve under Tolbert in 2006, amassing a team-record 265 yards receiving on 11 catches with two touchdowns in Week 11.
Under Tolbert's tutelage with the Cardinals in 2003, Anquan Boldin earned Offensive Rookie of the Year honors and was the only rookie to make the Pro Bowl that season. He set an NFL-rookie record with 101 catches for 1,377 yards — the second most by a rookie in league history.
Tolbert gained his first professional coaching experience by participating in the NFL's Minority Internship Program with the Detroit Lions during training camp in 1997 and again with the Cardinals during training camp in 2001.
A veteran of eight seasons at the collegiate level before joining the NFL ranks, Tolbert began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at Louisiana State in the spring of 1994 and Northeast Louisiana in the fall of 1994. He moved on to coach wide receivers at Ohio in the spring of 1995, before returning to Northeast Louisiana in the fall of 1995, where he tutored the team's tight ends for three seasons.
After coaching tight ends at Auburn in 1998, Tolbert spent the next three years (1999-2001) as the wide receivers coach/recruiting coordinator at Louisiana-Lafayette. He served as the tight ends coach/recruiting coordinator at Florida in 2002, before making the jump to the NFL the following season.
Tolbert was a three-year letterman at LSU, where he played wide receiver. A native of Conroe, Texas, he graduated from LSU with bachelor's and master's degrees. He and his wife, Linda, have two daughters, Morgan and Madison.
PRO BOWL PLAYERS COACHED (3): WR Anquan Boldin (2003), WR Emmanuel Sanders (2014), WR Demaryius Thomas (2012-14).

The fight The Jouranl and some lay publications have made against fraudulent medical advertising seems to be making fair progress toward success. Each year additional newspapers and magazines have joined this campaign for decency and truthfulness. Now there has arisen a new power from which much may be expected. This force, to which we referred recently,1 is an organization known as the Associated Advertising Clubs of America. It has over 10,000 individual members, and includes many advertisers who operate on a national scale. The organization has what it terms a National Vigilance Committee which was created "to wage war on dishonest advertising." This committee, through its chairman, Mr. H. D.

After a wonderful Shabbat in Atlanta, learner's services minyan on Sunday followed by puppet making, Bus E headed from Atlanta to Orlando today. The lengthy drive allowed for some great bonding and bus games. In addition to bus fun, the Wheelniks chanced to stop at the Butterfly Rainforest, a 6,400-square-foot screened, outdoor enclosure with subtropical plants and hundreds of living butterflies. The group got some beautiful shots with some beautiful creatures. Once they finally make it to Orlando, the group will be hosted Ohev Shalom for some highly anticipated home hospitality. Bus E can't wait to explore the great state of Florida this week!

They saw the amazing Grand Canyon of Yellowstone as a precursor to the "real" Grand Canyon they will be viewing later this summer. Additionally, they saw the always reliable geyser, Old Faithful, which erupts every 91 minutes! To cap off their night in the park, the Wheelniks will break up into Sihot groups to discuss the topic of the evening and following that, Bus A will be having gender bonding activities!

Mission Mitzvah had a wonderful Shabbat and start of the week in New Orleans before heading off to Memphis today. Because they had such a long ride, there were some great bus games and bonding done on the trip. Once they got to Memphis, Bus H explored Beale Street, a street known for its deep Rock and Soul roots. From there, the group headed back to their hotel, where they participated in a program on Kavod Le'Ani, honoring the impoverished, an important lesson to learn for all of the Wheelniks.
July 9, 2012
After a wonderful night of home hospitality in Oklahoma City, Bus B set out this morning for Amarillo, Texas! After a long drive south, the group partook in an amazing Jeep tours of the city and its surrounding canyons and beautiful scenery. Once back at the hotel this evening, Bus B will have the ever hilarious game of get-to-know-your-staff, where they'll have a chance to learn a little about their staff's background and how they became the great Jewish educators that they are today. The Wheelniks can't wait to learn more about their wonderful staff and explore the American Southwest later this week!

Mitt Romney Gave Ex-Virginia Governor a Little Something for His Legal Defense
One of the nice things about losing a presidential election? You're allowed to use your vast wealth to help out your (allegedly) corrupt buddies. To that end, the Washington Post reports that Mitt Romney has given $10,000 to former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell's legal defense fund. As you might recall, McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, got themselves into some trouble earlier this year, when it was revealed that they had accepted a wide array of fancy gifts (and money) from a sketchy Virginia businessman named Jonnie Williams. The couple is set to go on trial in July for over a dozen federal charges of bribery and fraud, which is expensive.
"Governor McDonnell became a true and trusted friend and ally through the good times and the bad times in the last campaign," Romney adviser Ron Kaufman told the Post. "He did a great job running the [Republican Governors Association], he did a great job running Virginia and Mitt has a very special place in his heart for Governor McDonnell. He wanted to help him at a time when he needed help, just as Governor McDonnell would do for Mitt if he needed help." Indeed, McDonnell did give Romney a showy endorsement right before the 2012 South Carolina primary.
Kaufman said that McDonnell did not personally ask as Romney for the donation, though, "People around [McDonnell] brought it to Mitt's attention." After all, that's what friends' lackeys are for.

The board of French telecom operator Orange on Monday voted to retain Stephane Richard as company boss after he was charged in a corruption probe linked to IMF chief Christine Lagarde when she was French finance minister.
The board meeting came just hours after President Francois Hollande said in a television interview that he had instructed the three state members on the board to vote for Richard staying on at the helm of the company.
A statement said the board reaffirmed its "confidence in Stephane Richard so that he can continue to work with the same energy to confront the numerous challenges Orange faces and to protect the interests of the company, its workers, clients and shareholders."
The French state is a major shareholder in Orange, which was formerly France Telecom.
Richard was Lagarde's chief of staff when, in 2008, she sanctioned a state payout of 400 million euros ($515m) to disgraced tycoon Bernard Tapie.
Lagarde is suspected of having rigged the process that led to the payout, thus ensuring that Tapie would get the cash in return for supporting her boss, Nicolas Sarkozy, in his successful 2007 presidential election campaign.
The IMF chief was questioned for two days in May about her role in the affair. She was not placed under formal investigation -- the French equivalent of being charged in other legal systems -- but she remains what is termed an "assisted witness", which means judges can summon her for further interrogation at any time.
The cash payout to Tapie, who served a prison sentence for match-fixing during his time as the president of France's biggest football club, Olympique Marseille, related to a dispute between the businessman and partly state-owned bank Credit Lyonnais over his 1993 sale of sports group Adidas.
Tapie claimed that Credit Lyonnais had defrauded him by intentionally undervaluing Adidas at the time of the sale and that the state, as the bank's principal shareholder, should compensate him.
Lagarde was responsible for referring the issue to a three-man arbitration panel, which ruled in Tapie's favour.

AbstractProtective garments that isolate a dismounted soldier from the environment can also build up excessive internal heat and humidity, impairing performance and possibly leading to heat casualties. We propose to develop an innovative microclimate control system that will maintain a cool, dry environment inside protective garments. There are two key innovations: (1) a novel cooling process that enables refrigeration for dismounted soldiers using a system with very low mass, and (2) a unique cooling garment that removes both heat and humidity from inside protective garments. In Phase I we proved the feasibility of our approach through laboratory tests that demonstrated the key components of both these innovative devices. We used the results of Phase I tests to validate our design models and produced a conceptual design for a full-size prototype. In Phase II we will design, build, and demonstrate a full-size, self-contained microclimate control system prototype.

Harley Quinn's Greatest Moments from "Batman: The Animated Series"
TV, Comic Books
Cartoonist Richard Thompson, creator of the all-too-brief but much-acclaimed comic strip "Cul de Sac," died Wednesday from complications of Parkinson's disease. He was 58.
While Thompson's colleagues hailed "Cul de Sac" as a last flicker of greatness in a dying medium, Thompson himself will be remembered for the grace and humor with which he faced his disease — and the way it drew the cartooning community around him.
Publishing | The 18th volume of Hajime Isayama's Attack on Titan sold 969,743 copies in its first week of release in Japan, claiming the top spot on the weekly manga sales chart. According to market research firm Oricon, thats an increase of nearly 200,000 copies from the debut of Vol. 17 in August. Attack on Titan has sold about 8.8 million copies this year, a drop of almost 50 percent from 2013. [Crunchyroll]
Passings | Cartoonist and editor Jacques Hurtubise, who went by the pen name Zyx, has died at age 65. Hurtubise attended college in Montreal during a time of separatist turmoil, and in 1971 recceived a government grant to publish L'Hydrocéphale illustré, an anthology of work by emerging Quebecois cartoonists. The magazine folded a year later, but Hurtubise continued to be an active promoter of local comics in various forms, and in 1979, he teamed up with two other editors to start the children's humor magazine Croc, which carried a large selection of comics. The magazine, which ran until 1995, provided paying work to many eminent Canadian cartoonists in their early years. After Croc folded, Hurtubise left the comics industry for a career in technology, but he was inducted in 2007 into the Shuster Awards Hall of Fame. [Sequential]
Conventions | Comic-Con International is seeking a new sponsor for Artists' Alley after DeviantArt, the sponsor of the area for the past two years, withdrew support. In a letter sent Wednesday to exhibitors, organizers said they are seeking a new sponsor and remain committed to Artists' Alley. Heidi MacDonald provides context, noting that the development comes amid ongoing fears about the future of Artists' Alley, which occupies valuable floor space in an exhibition hall starving for more. [The Beat]
Political cartoons | Michael Cavna has issued an open for cartoonists to draw cartoons in support of imprisoned Iranian artist Atena Farghadani, and tweet them with the hashtag #Draw4Atena. Robert Rusell, executive director of Cartoonist Rights Network International, has written an open letter to the leaders of Iran asking them to intervene. [Comic Riffs]
Creators | Art Spiegelman, Neil Gaiman and Alison Bechdel are stepping in as table hosts tonight at the PEN American Center gala, after a number of writers dropped out of the event to protest the organization's decision to give a posthumous freedom of expression award to the staff of Charlie Hebdo. [The New York Times]
Collectors | Scottish collector Alec Whitelaw owns every issue of the Oor Wullie annual ever published, but he was stunned to learn his collection was worth nearly $38,000 when it was appraised on the BBC's version of Antiques Roadshow. Whitelaw had come to the event by train, but organizers arranged for a chauffeured car for the return trip, as he had brought the books with him. "After they told me the value of the books they wouldn't let me go home with them," he said. "They got me transport home in a nice car and I felt like Lady Muck." [Daily Record]
Creators | Responding to the removal of Maus from Moscow bookstores as the Russian government cracks down on Nazi symbols, Art Spiegelman said, "It's a real shame because this is a book about memory. We don't want cultures to erase memory." Retailers fear the swastika on the graphic novel's cover may be enough to run afoul of a new law prohibiting "Nazi propaganda" as the country prepares to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Germany. "I don't think Maus was the intended target for this, obviously," the cartoonist told The Guardian. "But I think [the law] had an intentional effect of squelching freedom of expression in Russia. The whole goal seems to make anybody in the expression business skittish." [The Guardian]
Moscow bookstores have quickly but quietly removed the Pulitzer Prize-winning graphic novel Maus out of fear the swastika on the cover will violate a four-month-old law banning "Nazi propaganda."
Agence France-Presse reports the move comes as Russian authorities seek to purge the capital of swastikas and other Nazi insignias ahead of May 9, which marks the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory over German forces in World War II. Raids have already been conducted on toy and antique shops, and bookstore owners are anticipating similar actions.
Of course, Art Spiegelman's celebrated Maus, released in Russia in 2013, isn't "Nazi propaganda"; it's pointedly anti-fascist, telling a story about the horrors of Nazism. However, bookstore owners appear to be erring on the side of caution, figuring the large swastika on the cover is enough to make the title — and retailers — a target.
Awards | Roz Chast has won the National Book Critics Circle Award for Best Autobiography for her graphic novel Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? Chast's tale of taking care of her parents in their declining years seems to be one of those books that crosses the usual boundaries, winning recognition not only in comics circles but in general book awards such as the Kirkus Awards and the National Book Awards. [Comic Riffs]
Retailing | ICv2 continues its focus on manga with a profile of Boston's Comicopia, where they stock a lot of manga (4,000 volumes) and the staff really understands it. Most of the manga is simply shelved by title, reflecting the fact that readers often cross the target demographics (i.e. a lot of girls read Shonen Jump), but Comicopia also has sections for yaoi, all-ages manga, and "Manga for People that Don't Like Manga." [ICv2]
Crime | A man was spotted on security video last week at New York Comic Con stealing a one-of-a-kind, 20-inch Dunny figure hand-painted by by Jon-Paul Kaiser valued at $2,000, plus two other items, from the Clutter Magazine booth. [DNAinfo New York]
Legal | Chinese cartoonist Wang Liming, who uses the pen name "Biantai Lajiao" (Perverted Chili Pepper), has applied for a visa to remain in Japan, saying he's afraid to return to China. Liming's account on the Chinese social media site Weibo, where he published his cartoons, was shut down in August, and the People's Daily newspaper has called him a traitor and accused him of being pro-Japan. Last year, he was arrested and held overnight on charges of "suspicion of causing a disturbance." "China's situation surrounding freedom of speech has worsened during these six months," Wang said in an interview. "I have no idea where the borderline is (between what is permissible and what is not anymore)." [The Asahi Shimbun]
Legal | The Japanese publisher Square Enix has filed a counterclaim against SNK Playmore, asking Osaka District Court to rule that its manga Hi Score Girl doesn't infringe on copyrights held by the video game company. Earlier this year, SNK brought criminal copyright violation charges against Square Enix after learning Hi Score Girl contains more than 100 unauthorized images of characters from SNK Playmore games. The manga has been put on hold because of the dispute. [Anime News Network]
Conventions | Who's buying, and how much are they spending, at conventions? Rob Salkowitz mines the numbers from a recent Eventbrite poll of convention-goers to get some answers: Most people spend between $100 and $500 per person; cosplayers actually spend a bit more than average; and women shell out more money at conventions, while men spend more online. [ICv2]
Legal | The Japanese magazine Monthly Big Gangan has put the series Hi Score Girl on hold following allegations by the game company SNK Playmore that the manga is using its characters without authorization. The publisher, Square Enix, already recalled the five volumes of the series published so far and stopped releasing the manga digitally. [Anime News Network]
Creators | Gail Simone and Ethan Van Sciver talk about bringing Wonder Woman to Gotham City in their two-part story for DC Comics' new digital first anthology Sensation Comics Featuring Wonder Woman. [Hero Complex]
Creators | Sonny Liew, creator of Malinky Robot and the artist of The Shadow Hero (written by Gene Luen Yang) was born in Malaysia, went to school in Singapore, then went to college in the United Kingdom and art school in the United States on his way to becoming a comics creator. There wasn't much of a homegrown comics scene when Liew was growing up, so he read mostly imports, but that's changing, and his newest project is an anthology featuring creators from the region. [The Malay Mail]
Digital comics | ICv2 estimates the size of the digital comics market at $90 million in 2013, not counting subscription services such as Marvel Unlimited or Crunchyroll — so presumably the tally is limited to single-issue sales. It's also not clear whether the number includes comics sold on eBook platforms such as Kindle or just those sold through specialty channels such as comiXology or as direct downloads. The $90 million number represents a 29 percent increase over 2012 numbers. [ICv2]
Creators | As the first issue of his new series The Life After is released, writer Joshua Hale Fialkov talks about why he prefers creator-owned work: "I want to treat every book I do as though it's 100% owned by me, because, at the end of the day, nobody is blaming an editor if that book sucks. They're blaming me. Even if the art is sub-par, I take the blame for that. So, for my money, being thorny and vocal to get work I'm proud of is worth it, no matter what doors it shuts, because, as the saying goes, nothing shuts doors and costs you audience faster than producing junk." And, he says, he is making as much money doing creator-owned comics as the corporate ones. [The Hollywood Reporter]
Digital comics | Jeff Gomez examines the implications of Amazon's planned acquisition of comiXology, opining that it will give comics a wider reach but also force publishers of superhero fare to broaden their appeal beyond the core demographic: "The books will now be exposed to millions of newcomers, so it will behoove major publishers to make their stories more female-friendly, streamlined, and accessible. With comiXology's new aim to make 'every person on the planet a comics fan,' publishers will need to consider new genres, greater variety, and more varied age groups." [Business Insider]
Digital comics | ComiXology will continue to offer its Digital Storefronts for retailers, and it will not allow Amazon to target users of its Pull List service with its own offers, according to spokesman Chip Mosher. Also, no changes are planned to comiXology's other retailer tools. [ICv2]
Retailing | Hastings Entertainment, which operates a chain of 149 stores that sells books, comics, video games and more, has announced a $21.4 million agreement to merge with two companies owned by Joel Weinshanker, president and sole shareholder of Wizkids parent National Entertainment Collectibles Association; Weinshanker already holds 12 percent of Hastings' outstanding shares.
"NECA is a significant supplier of movie, book and video game merchandise and collectibles to the Hastings superstores, and we've had a close and growing business relationship with Mr. Weinshanker over the last decade," John H. Marmaduke, Hastings' chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "Mr. Weinshanker, through his affiliation with the estates of Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Muhammad Ali, and his company's management of Graceland, is one of the leading drivers of the lifestyle industry, and we believe Hastings' business will continue to benefit from our relationship with him and NECA." Marmaduke will retire with a $1.5 million cash payout once the merger is approved. The announcement was followed by press releases from two New York City law firms that say they're investigating the plan on behalf of Hastings shareholders. [press release]
Creators | Frannie Jackson talks with a handful of prominent creator couples — Mike Allred and Laura Allred, Kelly Sue DeConnick and Matt Fraction, Colleen Coover and Paul Tobin — about sexism within the comics industry. "I'm occasionally invited to participate in panel discussions about 'women in comics,'" Coover says. "I'm usually emotionally torn by those invitations, because, yeah, I want women in comics to thrive and be seen as thriving, but I'd much rather be part of a discussion about 'awesome creators in comics' that's stacked with awesome women and men." [Paste]
Retailing | Andrew Wyrich visits several comics shops in the North Jersey area and finds they rely on a friendly atmosphere and incentive programs to keep customers coming back. "People who buy comics tend to have a $40 weekly budget," said Len Katz, co-owner of The Joker's Child in Fair Lawn, New Jersey. "We hear of people who love comics, but eventually just hit a wall with expenses. The key for us is to get customers coming back. The reality is we are not a necessary item; we aren't milk, bread or cheese." [The Record]
Think comics are a solitary experience? Art Spiegelman wants to throw that idea out the window.
The legendary creator of Maus is in the middle of a worldwide tour of a stage performance titled WORDLESS!. Described as the cartoonist's "Intellectual Vaudeville Show," this live event mixes slides and spoken word by Spiegelman with musical performances by jazz composer Phillip Johnston and his sextet. In many ways, WORDLESS! is a guided tour by Spiegelman into the world of graphic novels, going from the early 1900s to the modern era, including a new comics piece the cartoonist created specifically for the event.


text: Hi, my site updated to WP 3.9.1 automatically, I thought the setting was off. I am on the latest. That being said, I have noticed an issue with Grabpress. It will work fine for several autopost schedules, but for some others it will create "ghost" posts. I am not able to delete these posts via WP dashboard, I have to then use phpAdmin and repair the DB. The "ghost" posts are then removed. I then notice it created an image in my media library but with no image and (unattached) on the "uploaded to" in WP media area. I have to either delete these and then head into the "catalog" within Grabpress plugin settings and manually add them back. I ended up removing Jetpack as the log was showing JSON.API conflicting, so I thought. The issue is still present and not sure how to resolve this. I will open a ticket as well. Thank you for the support.

I refer to example 4, fig.3.6, p.17 of Munkres' Algebraic Topology. He says the given triangulation scheme "does more than paste opposite edges together".
Not clear to me. For those who don't have the book to hand, a rectangle is divided into 6 equal squares by a horizontal midline and two verticals; each square has a south-west to north-east diagonal.

I am currently using the Google Map Shortcode plug-in on a site I'm developing, and it's working just fine for "standard" Posts and Pages.
Recently, I added a Custom Post Type (called "hotels") to the site, and created two new Custom Taxonomies to use with this ("cities" and "regions"). I'd like to use the plug-in mentioned above to display map points for posts that use the CPT/Custom Taxonomies, and so far it will let me add the points in question, but doesn't properly spit them out on the relevant theme template file - it only shows the first post within the taxonomy, but not the others.
On line 223 of google-map-shortcode.php, there's this:
$post_obj = get_posts(array('category__in'=>$categories,'numberposts'=>-1));
This is used to query posts within a category and print out their associated map points; of course, the problem is that because Custom Taxonomies aren't "traditional" categories, it doesn't quite work with them :(
Can any of you guys think of a way I can query the taxonomies correctly to get the points from each post within them?
As always, any help would be gratefully received!

No Florence, Italy, trip for man who stole from Ralph Lauren PoloSeptember 14,2013Theft means no
Italy trip for man
BENNINGTON A man from Albany, N.Y., said he had lost a trip to Florence, Italy, as punishment for the activity leading to his charges of embezzlement and retail theft to which he pleaded guilty this week.
Neil Rosen, 20, pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court to three misdemeanor charges, one count of embezzlement and two counts of retail theft.
The sentence for the charges was deferred for three years. If he avoids further legal troubles and follows the terms of his probation, Rosens criminal record will be expunged.
In an affidavit, Officer Christopher Mason of the Manchester Police Department said Rosen had been an employee at Ralph Lauren Polo over the summer. On July 12, Rosen admitted in a statement that he had stolen from the store on five occasions, taking $40 in cash and about $600 in merchandise.
The $40 was returned in July and restitution has been made to the store.
During Rosens court hearing Monday, Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage said one reason the state had reached a plea arrangement with Rosen was that his parents had taken the matter pretty seriously and imposed other consequences on their son, including canceling his planned trip to Florence.
David Silver, the attorney who represented Rosen, said Rosens parents were very distraught and disappointed in him and ashamed of his conduct and said Rosen felt the same way. Rosen added he was very ashamed.
Judge Nancy Corsones told Rosen he had lost something valuable when he lost the chance to travel abroad at a young age.

Former Texas Rangers and current New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez filed an objection to the Rangers' bankruptcy plan Wednesday over concerns about whether he would receive the $24.9 million he's owed in deferred compensation.
Rodriguez's attorney, Joe Wielebinski of Dallas, said in the filing that his client is objecting "out of an abundance of caution due to the potential uncertainties in the plan." The Rangers went into Chapter 11 bankruptcy in late May.
Rodriguez isn't the only player listed as a creditor. Current Rangers third baseman Michael Young is owed nearly $4 million.
Other former players among the list of creditors include Kevin Millwood ($12.9 million); Vicente Padilla ($1.7 million); Mickey Tettleton ($1.4 million); and Mark McLemore ($970,051.97).
Rodriguez didn't file the only objection Wednesday to the auction plan, which is scheduled to proceed Aug. 4 as directed by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge D. Michael Lynn. Major League Baseball, the Major League Baseball Players Association and the team's lenders also objected to various parts of the plan.
In its motion, the MLBPA said it supports the Rangers' sale as long as the new owner pays what is owed to the team's current and former players, a provision in baseball's collective bargaining agreement.
"We have no reason right now to doubt that any of the prospective buyers would consider anything else, but we need to preserve all of the players' legal rights," union lawyer David Prouty said.
Potential bidders have until Tuesday evening to submit bids, and an auction is planned for the following day if there is more than one bid. Rangers Baseball Express, the group headed by Pittsburgh attorney Chuck Greenberg and club president Nolan Ryan, came to an agreement to buy the club from Hicks Sports Group in January, but objections by the creditors led the club to file a prepackaged bankruptcy plan.
Now the team is up for auction, but any other buyer must out-bid the existing agreement on the table by Rangers Baseball Express. Their $575 million bid includes paying the full $204 million owed to A-Rod and other unsecured creditors.
But under the bidding procedures, other potential buyers can decide which provisions to include in their offers.
Other potential bidders could include Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, whose attorney, Clifton Jessup, told ESPNDallas.com Tuesday that his client was continuing his due diligence in an effort to figure out if he wanted to make a bid.
It's possible Cuban could partner with someone else in an attempt to purchase the club. Houston businessman Jim Crane, who attempted to buy the club last year, and Dallas businessman Jeff Beck, are possible bidders.
Richard Durrett covers the Rangers for ESPNDallas.com. Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

On monetary policy and stock market anomalies
This study utilizes a macro-based VAR framework to investigate whether stock portfolios formedon the basis of their value, size and past performance characteristics are affected in a differentialmanner by unexpected US monetary policy actions during the period 1967-2007. Full sample results show that value, small capitalization and past loser stocks are more exposed to monetary policy shocks in comparison to growth, big capitalization and past winner stocks. Subsample analysis, motivated by variation in the realized premia and parameter instability, reveals that monetary policy shocks' impact on these portfolios is significant and pronounced only during the pre-1983 period.

The Musical Art Quintet
Nuevo Chamber
(Classical Revolution)
US: 31 Jan 2012
"Chamber", "art", "classical" ... these are all very serious words. They often don't transfer a lot of warmth to the listener, especially when all of them apply to one body of music. Push the Musical Art Quintet's debut album Nuevo Chamber into your computer, and your media player will qualify it as "classical", but there's nothing stern about this art. It's light, hummable, danceable and slightly joyful without being self-effacing or frivolous. Assembled of violins, viola, cello and bass, and mainly trafficking in rhythmic and melodic motifs imported from Cuba and Africa, the Musical Art Quintet exercises tight control over its perfectly symmetrical compositions, a majority of which are provided by bassist Sascha Jacobsen.
A quick perusal of the liner notes for each song gives you a general idea of how there is no chamber snootiness motivation at work here. Case in point are the ever-glowing tributes to good living and optimism on "Life Is Beautiful" and "Ombligao en Argentina", the latter of which is included twice, with the spoken word performance in both Spanish and English.

We investigate the exact error performance of hard minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) detection possibly with successive interference cancellation (SIC) in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. To facilitate the analysis, we start with an exact bit-error rate (BER) analysis for a general system with decision statistic, z=ax+u, where a>;0, x is the transmitted signal, and u is an arbitrarily distributed noise component which is possibly dependent on the signal component x. For this general system, we derive the exact and closed-form BER expressions for M-ary pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and arbitrary rectangular quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM), which include the well-known BER result of as a special case. Furthermore, by formulating the MIMO MMSE decision statistics in the same form as z in the general system, we derive the exact and closed-form instantaneous BER and symbol-error rate (SER) expressions for MIMO hard MMSE detection with/without SIC employing PAM and QAM. Finally, the validity of our derived error probability expressions is verified through extensive Monte Carlo simulations and the results reported in the literature.

The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
I celebrated my 26 bday at Richards property and it really was amazing.
The flat is extreeemly welcoming and incredibly cozy we like it very much and the terrace its perfect:)y it realy made me feel like home.
The position is very privileged because its situated in a very bohemic location called Old Village.
You can easily get to Vilamoura or the beach it takes arround 20 min by foot.
The 3 swimmingpools help you relax and enjoy the sun as well the restaurants and everything in old village makes your stay be wonderful.
I really hope i have the opportunity to rent this gorgeous flat again.
Thank you very much Richard it was great!!
Richard is great host and kindness person. I recommend him and his flats for everybody. Best price and comfortable flat what else we need for you? :))
The apartment in Lisbon is situated in the old center, yet it is a quiet street without a lot of traffic. It is a practical, cosy and clean home. You can see the history of the building combined with a modern bathroom and careful maintenance.
Although the mattress was quite thin, the next time we stay in Lisbon we will surely try to stay in this house again.
Richard is a nice guy who tries to make you feel at home.
Hello everyone, this is a great location to take advantage of the great city of Lisbonne. The appartment is brand new and enjoys a small sea view. The air is fantastic and Richard was there at the right time even if I had booked just a few hours before. Heartly recommended!
- The apartment: offers everything you need for a comfortable stay in Lisbon. Hot water in the bathroom. Everything functioned, except for one window that was hard to close. Good wifi. The bed was a little squeeky, but comfortable enough. Fresh sheets and towels were at our disposal, but no garbage bags and only one roll of toilet paper.
- Location: centrally located, close to the metrostation and many Lisbon 'attractions'. Lots of (very touristy though) restaurants in the neighboorhood.
- Contact person: kept us well informed but we haven't met him. The texts I sent to the phone number provided by Wimdu did not seem to reach him, which was annoying because we could not warn him that we were going to be late. Luckily, he called us to say that we could pick up the keys from a neighbour. Unfortunately, this was from a private number so I couldn't call him back.
- Overall, would recommend this apartment for citytrippers on a budget that do not want to stay in a hostel.

hi I'm a youtuber and I need to install my ArcSoft Showbiz capture software but when I put the disc in it comes up with raw files and wont run the set-up menu, also when I try to download things from the internet it wont let me open them it comes up with raw files and wont start the program.
It seems that you are trying to run a windows application in Ubuntu for that you have to first install wine and then try running the setup file directly from your media.
You can install Wine, and then install your software true it.
There are a bunch of native programs for Ubuntu that surely will work better that "ArcSoft Showbiz" via Wine.

Affording College
There are many ways to get an affordable college education, but according to Dr. Michael Franzblau, only a few people investigate all the possible avenues. Jean talks with Dr. Franzblau, a former high school teacher and creator of the Tuition Without Tears program, about how to make your dream of a college education a financial reality:
- Attend an inexpensive community college for two years and then transfer and graduate from a state or private school. "You go to the community college and you season yourself and you find out who you are what you really want to do," Dr. Franzblau says of this money-saving technique.
- Change your state residency. Dr. Franzblau says it can take up to two years to establish residency, but it can be a smart option for someone who wants to work for a few years and then attend a great state school.
- Earn part of a degree online. In recent years, some very good schools have started offering online courses and this is an often inexpensive way to get started on a degree, Dr. Franzblau says.
- Take college courses while in high school. Eliminating some general education classes before attending college will save you money in the long run, he says.
The information provided here is general advice and you should always consult your own financial adviser before making major financial decisions, including investments or changes to your portfolio. The opinions expressed by the hosts, guests and callers to Oprah Radio are strictly their own.

I have made an XPS document in Microsoft Word (Print --> print to XPS Writer). On Windows 7 (64 bit) machine I can open this file in XPSViewer or IE and send it to an actual printer, where the XPS document is successfully printed. All testing so far has been done on Networked printers.
On my windows XP (32 bit) machine, I can create an XPS document with Microsoft Word, but my attempts to print the XPS document to an actual printer are unsuccessful. This machine indicates that the job was successfully sent to the printer, but the printer does not print the document, and printer logs indicate that the job was not received. I am attempting to print to the exact same printers from both the XP and the Win7 machine. Attempting to print non XPS documents still works fine on the XP machine.
What could be missing from the XP machine that would cause this kind of behavior? I have .Net 4.0 framework installed.

How does the custom house work in Freecol? I built custom house but nothing happens. Previously I played Colonization a lot where custom houses worked automatically, they sold available goods.
Have you set it up in the warehouse dialog? I don't think the custom houses automatically start exporting goods; they just allow you to set up automatic export. See here (search "custom house", it's a long guide) for more information.
Here's a short summary:
In the settlement view, you need to click on the "Warehouse" button at the bottom. This will give you a list of all your goods, and you can check "Export" for any that you want to sell automatically. It also lets you set the threshold below which they won't be exported.

Rays Cash In Staying Cheap
Published: Sunday, August 3, 2014 at 1:02 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 3, 2014 at 1:02 a.m.
ST. PETERSBURG | There is an unspoken element to the Rays' philosophy of roster construction that usually gets lost when they trade a player like David Price.
Nobody wants to say it because players and their agents don't want to hear it, but high-ticket baseball players rarely live up to their contracts even in the short run. In the long run, they almost never do.
In strictly business terms, the evidence of the last few years is overwhelming that baseball teams would be better off avoiding huge, long-term contracts entirely. The Rays are one of the teams who do, not only because they cannot afford it, but also because they are against it as a matter of principle.
The Rays and some other teams believe quite correctly that when players become eligible for nine-figure, long-term contracts, they have already reached their peak and in most cases have surpassed it.
In terms of attendance, that approach has been costly. It has cost the Rays popular stars like Carl Crawford, James Shields and Price, and losses like those are bound to have a demoralizing effect on fan support. In the standings, however, this approach has been a success over the last five or six years, keeping the Rays in contention just as regularly as the teams that spend three and four times as much on their major league payrolls.
The five American League teams that can be classified as big spenders are the Yankees, Red Sox, Tigers, Angels and Rangers. Over the last six seasons (2008-2013), those five teams have averaged 89.4 wins per season. The Rays have won 91.7 games per season over the same span.
Even since their pennant-winning season of 2008, the Rays have won 90.6 games per season, more than any of the big spenders except the Yankees. And in that six-year span, the Rays and Yankees played in the postseason four times, compared with three times each for the Red Sox, Tigers and Rangers and twice for the Angels.
It can be argued, of course, that the Yankees and Red Sox each won a World Series in those years and that the Rangers made it to two straight Series.
The Rays have yet to accomplish either of those feats. But those are shaky justifications for enormous contracts in a three-tiered playoff system that serves up a champion after a six-month grind.
Here is the list of players recently awarded nine-figure contracts by the AL's big spenders. Decide for yourself which of them are "worth it" and, just as importantly, whether they will be worth it in the final few years of their contract:
Alex Rodriguez, Yankees ($275 million, paid through 2017); Miguel Cabrera, Tigers ($248M, 2023); Albert Pujols, Angels ($240M, 2021); Prince Fielder, Tigers ($214M, 2020); Justin Verlander, Tigers ($180M, 2020); Mark Teixeira, Yankees ($180, 2016); Masahiro Tanaka, Yankees ($180M, 2020); Adrian Gonzalez, Red Sox ($154M, 2018); Jacoby Ellsbury, Yankees ($153M, 20121); Carl Crawford, Red Sox ($142M, 2017); Josh Hamilton, Angels ($125M, 2017); C.C. Sabathia, Yankees ($122M, 2017); Dustin Pedroia, Red Sox ($110M, 2021).
Fielder, Gonzalez and Crawford have since been traded, of course, the latter two as part of a salary dump that enabled the Red Sox to win the World Series the following year.
Price will likely be joining the club, perhaps in Lakeland next spring when the Tigers give him a blank check at the age of 29. Congrats to him.
The Rays hated to part with him, but they have a different way of doing things. And as painful as it is to lose players like him, it's hard to argue that their way hasn't worked.
