WASHINGTON (AP) - The Laborers' International Union is rejoining the AFL-CIO five years after leaving in a bitter dispute that split the U.S. labor movement.
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka says the move is an important step in helping organized labor become more unified.
The 800,000-member laborers' union represents workers in the construction industry.
The Laborers and five other unions left the AFL-CIO amid complaints that the nation's largest labor federation focused too much on politics and not enough on organizing new members. Those breakaway unions formed the Change to Win federation.
The Laborers are the second union to return to the AFL-CIO. Last year, the union of hotel, restaurant and clothing workers known as UNITE HERE rejoined.

Aims To estimate the immediate as well as the longer-term impact of the 2005 smoke-free law on smoking prevalence, cessation and intensity both in the overall population and separately by educational level.
Design Interrupted time–series analyses of 11 cross-sectional nationally representative surveys.
Setting Italy, 1999–2010.
Participants Adults aged 20–64 years.
Measurements For each year we computed the prevalence of current smoking, the quit ratio and the mean number of cigarettes smoked per day. All measures were standardized by age. Segmented linear regression analyses were performed for each smoking variable separately by sex.
Findings Among males, smoking prevalence decreased by 2.6% (P = 0.002) and smoking cessation increased by 3.3% (P = 0.006) shortly after the ban, but both measures tended to return to pre-ban values in the following years. This occurred among both highly and low-educated males. Among low-educated females, the ban was followed by a 1.6% decrease (P = 0.120) in smoking prevalence and a 4.5% increase in quit ratios (P < 0.001). However, these favourable trends reversed over the following years. Among highly educated females, trends in smoking prevalence and cessation were not altered by the ban. Among both males and females, long-term trends in the daily number of cigarettes, which were already declining well before the implementation of the policy, changed to a minor extent.
Conclusion The impact of the Italian smoke-free policy on smoking and inequalities in smoking was short-term. Smoke-free policies may not achieve the secondary effect of reducing smoking prevalence in the long term, and they may have limited effects on inequalities in smoking.

Presents the design of the Coven framework for construction of problem solving environments (PSEs) for parallel computers. PSEs are an integral part of modern high performance computing (HPC) and Coven attempts to simplify PSE construction. Coven targets Beowulf cluster parallel computers but independent of any particular domain for the PSE. Multithreaded parallel applications are created with Coven that are capable of supporting most of the constructs in a typical parallel programming language. Coven uses an agent-based front-end which allows multiple custom interfaces to be constructed. Examples of the use of Coven in the construction of prototype PSEs are shown, and the effectiveness of these PSEs is evaluated in terms of the performance of the applications they generate.

123rd Ave SE
This project will involve city staff working with a group of resident volunteers—in the form of a traffic committee—to develop a traffic improvement plan to reduce vehicle speeds along 123rd Avenue Southeast, from Southeast 20th Place to Southeast 26th Street.
The project includes elements that will visually narrow the roadway (a traffic circle, medians, and curb extensions) opposed to vertical measures such as speed humps.
The traffic improvement plan will be constructed in coordination with the neighborhood sidewalk project that includes a five foot sidewalk on the east side of 123rd Avenue Southeast from Southeast 26th Street to Southeast 20th Street. Construction began January 2016 and should be complete by summer 2016.

2016 Environmental Legislation: Place Matters!
How much the last legislative session impacted environmental management in your community largely depends on where you live in the state. It was a "short" legislative session and relatively few bills were passed, but several of the bills that were passed contained significant provisions likely to impact environmental quality in specific regions of the state. For example, the Drinking Water Protection/Coal Ash Cleanup Act requires that the owners of coal ash impoundments (ponds) that were shown to pollute groundwater provide impacted households with a permanent alternative water source. The Act also lays out the process and Read more »
Renewed Funding Extends New Market Tax Credit Program Through 2019
The CED blog has previously written about the importance of New Market Tax Credits, and their place in the process for developing real estate transactions (a primer can be found here, and a discussion of the process for investment can be found here). Briefly, these credits are designed to drive capital to underserved communities, notably those which are determined to be 'highly distressed,' and provide investors with a 39% tax credit, paid over seven years, for investments in qualified projects. Credits are allocated to designated Community Development Entities (CDEs), which then select impactful projects in which to invest. Because funding for the Program is limited, investments tend to be highly competitive: this makes the impact of the project extremely important, and allocations often tend to concentrate around the various CDE's mission targets, which could range from solar energy, to rural health, to small business development, to any number of other things.

Is Your Local Community Partner Ready To Go?
In July 2013, I wrote a blog proposing a four-part framework for understanding if specific local organizations have the capacity to implement CED programs.

We answer this question using interviews with 31 local partners, over the past two years around a single, federally-funded, locally-administered community program in North Carolina. About half have given up on running the program. Read more »
A Guide to Value Added Alleys for Small Towns and Cities
Alleys, in the American context, are cramped spaces tucked behind commercial buildings that house the ancillary services businesses and households require such as trash removal, utility access, and deliveries. Glimpsed only momentarily by passing pedestrians, these spaces are often perceived as dirty, unwelcoming, and even unsafe. In contrast, pre-automotive cities such as London, Kyoto, and Melbourne, have a network of alleys (or laneways) meant explicitly for pedestrians. As shortcuts and intimate retail spaces alleys in these cities are clean, safe, and home to creative expression. Now small towns and cities across North Carolina like Kinston, Brevard, and New Bern are seeing successful renovation and investment in alleys. How can other communities looking to bring value and vibrancy to downtowns energize these neglected spaces? Read more »
Finding the Hard Numbers for a Rising Problem: A Method of Calculating Demand for Affordable Senior Housing
The supply of affordable senior rental housing is a growing concern across North Carolina. The source of this problem is linked to North Carolina's growing senior population and a rising overall demand for affordable rental housing. As mentioned in a previous blog post, by the year 2050, according to the US Census, the nation's senior population is expected to almost double. At the same time, North Carolina is one of the top states in relative baby boomer growth; a fact that comes as no surprise to those choosing to relocate to North Carolina for retirement.
Throughout the country's slow recovery from the Great Recession, the housing market has gained steam mostly because of rental demand. According to a report from the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard, the nation's share of renter's is 36%, and the current rental housing market is at its tightest since the 1960's. Vacancy rates are at a five-year low. During the beginning of the housing market recovery, a significant share of new rental properties resulted from the conversion of former owner-occupied dwellings. Today, this reconfiguration has slowed and new building is picking up, though newer rental housing is mostly targeted towards those with higher incomes. Read more »

USDA Programs Boosting Access to Local, Fresh Foods Across North Carolina
The role of local food systems in supporting community and economic development is a topic that has received significant coverage on the CED blog. Blog contributor and SOG faculty member Rick Morse has covered this topic extensively on this blog, sharing strategies to promote local food initiatives, including resources specific to North Carolina, while contributor and faculty member Jonathan Morgan recently discussed how a community might go about quantifying and measuring the economic development impact of local foods systems.
United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) offers several grants and programs directly to applicants and to states that can help communities develop their own local food systems. This post will highlight several of their programs designed to improve access to and expand production of locally and regionally produced foods: Local Food Promotion Program (LFPP), Specialty Crop Program, and the Organic Certification Cost Share Program. An additional cornerstone USDA program, Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP), used by the City of Raleigh to establish their downtown farmers market, is also described in this post. Read more »
Local Government Support for Privately Constructed Affordable Housing
County officials from Tarheel County as well as City officials from the county seat were approached by two residential developers who are seeking to construct housing that is affordable to low and moderate income (LMI) persons. One developer, DoGooder Inc., is a private, for-profit developer who intends to construct multi-family housing in which half of the twenty apartment units will be rented at a rate that is affordable to LMI persons. DoGooder is financing the project through conventional private financing but has asked the City and County for a cash subsidy to "make the project feasible." The other developer, Good Habits for Humans, is a nonprofit corporation whose staff and volunteers plan to construct one single family home and sell it to a family headed by a LMI person. Good Habits has asked the City and County to provide a cash grant to help them pay for staff supervision and construction materials for the project.
This post describes the legal authority for the City and County to provide the requested subsidies and explains some important differences between City and County authority in this area. Read more »
A Primer on Applying for Historic Tax Credits and the National Historic Register
In development, it is often easier to start from scratch – buy a property, clear the land, and begin building the structure you want. In fact, this is frequently the most cost effective way to develop a property: old structures can literally be 'messy,' with major deferred maintenance, old systems, and outdated uses commonly making it cost prohibitive to bring an old building back to life.
However, at the same time many of our State's older buildings are beautiful, character-rich structures which should be worth saving. North Carolina's history of textiles and manufacturing alone has left the state with hundreds of beautiful buildings with fascinating histories, plus detailing and charm that would be nearly impossible to replicate. At the same time, as much as a developer might wish to preserve a structure, financial realities must prevail, and some properties are simply not financially viable as they are.
Readers of the CED blog should be aware of the existence of Historic Tax Credits, and the value of their use in the redevelopment space (see previous posts here, here, and here). However, to the owner of a historic structure, or someone hoping to invest in one, the process might seem far too complex and daunting to be worth their time. This common misperception leads property owners to follow the path of least resistance, and allow their properties to fall into further disrepair. Read more »
New Book of Interest: This is Where You Belong
I am just finishing a pre-publication version of a forthcoming book by Melody Warnick titled "This is Where You Belong: The Art and Science of Loving the Place You Live" (available June 21, 2016). Warnick is a fellow-blogger on the Community Engagement Learning Exchange, writing about all things community from the perspective of a "regular" citizen (i.e. not an academic and not a public or nonprofit professional). Warnick is a freelance journalist and has been published in many prominent magazines, but This is Where You Belong is her first book. And it is excellent. I will be writing a proper review of the book soon, but for now I'd like to simply recommend the book and point out why folks interested in community and economic development might find this book useful and inspiring.

Sir Ronald Ross
Sir Ronald Ross, whose name has been rendered immortal by his proving the mosquito theory of malaria, has died at the age of 75 at the Ross Institute and Hospital for Tropical Diseases, London. Born in India, the son of General C. C. G. Ross of the Indian army, he studied medicine at St. Bartholomew's Hospital and entered the medical service of the Indian army in 1881. Malaria was then the greatest scourge of tropical countries. The prevailing theory was that it was due to a kind of miasma from marshes, which was most abundant in the rainy season and in low-lying ground, though it had been suggested by certain writers as well as by natives that mosqitoes might disseminate it. In 1880 while working in Algiers, Laveran, a French physician, discovered the malarial parasite in the blood and recognized an asexual phase, coincidental with the acute

SOURCE: Rackstraw, Loree. "Painful Irresolution." North American Review 274, no. 3 (September 1989): 67–69.
In the following excerpt, Rackstraw offers a positive assessment of Heart Songs and Other Stories.
According to master fictionist R. V. Cassill, the short story is "a refuge for those who want to explore the human condition as sentient men and women." This traditional view is central to recent collections of short fiction by Richard Lyons and E. Annie Proulx. Lyons's volume of ten stories [A Wilderness of Faith and Love] takes the reader on a sometimes terrifying, sometimes hilarious probing of sexual longing which verges on the metaphysical in its intense intimacy. [In Heart Songs,] Proulx invents a more poetic distance in nine stories that trade intimacy for nearly pristine simile to reveal touching and bizarre struggles of country folk. Both make vivid the painful irresolution of human...

Abstract"Flight demonstration of modern stealthy aircraft with an active flow control system is an important, complex, and challenging opportunity. The probability of success is maximized by a progressive plan in which complexity is introduced gradually. Wepropose a plan that includes flight testing of a simple system in Phase I and progressing to a multi-axis demonstration in Phase II. The proposed program develops a closed-loop attitude control system for an air vehicle, implementing and integratingactive flow control actuators and sensors. Control system design will be based on robust, nonlinear sliding mode methods that account for air vehicle mechanics, large rotation kinematics and reduced-order modeling of the active flow actuators. Actuatortechnology focuses on stealthy approaches, such as synthetic jets, which eliminate the need for conventional hinged control surfaces. In Phase I, closed-loop roll control employing active flow actuators in the wing tip regions will be developed. Phase Iculminates in flight testing using a modified radio-controlled aerobatic model plane (approximately 9 ft. wingspan and 135 mph flight speed). In Phase II, the investigation will be extended to multi-axis control over a wider flight envelope, for ajet-powered radio-controlled model with a planform representative of modern stealthy aircraft. The successful completion of this program will provide a substantial advance in the capabilities of stealth aircraft."

Increasing numbers of women are refusing to live in fear of words like "slut" or "whore."
What two words strike terror in the hearts of most women today? What two words have helped to shape the roles of women in society and the whole of human history? What two words carry enough power to not only lower women's self-esteem but make them especially vulnerable to perpetrations of every kind? What two words are the last words many women have heard just before being raped or murdered?
"Slut" and "whore".
These two words have been used for millennia to shame women from all walks of life. They have often been used to justify all manner of ill treatment, including rape and murder. Maybe you have personal experience with these two words. I know that I do. In fact, I have used these words to refer to myself over the last 25 years many, many times. I have even taken this on as something of a crusade. My mission now is to gut the destructive power of these two words because despite the hip hop lyrics intoning these words like some ancient mantra, "slut" and "whore" still possess the power to destroy the lives of individual women...and even young girls.
In 2009, Hope Witsell of Sundance, Florida was only 13-years-old when the words "whore" and "slut" were hurled her way. She was not prepared for the crushing sense of shame which those words carry. She hung herself in her bedroom.
Phoebe Prince was just fifteen when she relocated from Ireland to Massachusetts and enjoyed a very brief romance with a football player from her new high school. For this relationship, she was bullied with insults including "Irish slut," and perhaps all too predictably, she too hung herself in her bedroom in 2010.
Twelve-year-old Gabrielle Molina of Queens Village, New York, was repeatedly called a "slut" and a "whore" by one of her classmates before she, too, took her own life by hanging herself in 2013.
Fifteen-year-old Rehtaeh Parsons was drunk on vodka as she was gang raped by four older boys who circulated a photo of their crime online. For two years, Rehtaeh endured cyberbullying and being labeled as a "slut" by her classmates. Finally, the stress and shame was too much to bear. In 2013, like an increasing number of teen girls, she hung herself.
Sadly, teen suicides have been on the rise in recent years. I find it deeply disturbing that much of the increase has occurred in girls ages ten to nineteen. While firearms used to be the favored method of suicide for both girls and boys, girls are increasingly choosing to commit suicide by hanging themselves. The Centers for Disease Control doesn't have an explanation for the rise in teen girl suicides, but I can't help but wonder if the increase among teenage girls has something to do with the unique pressures of entering puberty as a female in today's world.
Today's teen girls are subject to more conflicting messages surrounding their sexuality than any generation before them. While popular media invites girls to dress and act "sexy," girls are simultaneously warned to avoid a "bad reputation." Somehow, young girls are supposed to figure out where the line between a "good girl" and a "bad girl" is, usually without any meaningful assistance from the adults in their lives. And, it's no wonder help is so often lacking, since most adult men and women are just as confused and conflicted on the topic of what constitutes "appropriate" behavior for today's sexually active and expressive females.
While no one seems to know for sure just what constitutes a "bad girl," "whore" or "slut," we still ascribe enormous power to these sexist labels. I find it outrageous that we still classify girls and women as "good girls" and "bad girls"—as either "respectable" and worthy of our protection, or as "sluts" and "whores" who deserve our derision and punishment. It seems we still, as a culture, blindly enforce the Whore/Madonna dichotomy—even though it leads to misery for women of all ages.
The ways in which slut-shaming and whore-bashing affect all women and girls are many and varied. Yet each has at its core the assumption that female sexuality is dangerous and must be controlled. Cyberbullying, a product of the digital age, may not at first seem to be related to something as archaic as honor killings, but slut-shaming and whore-bashing young girls until they commit suicide are brutal examples of the damage that is inflicted on women and girls by sexual shaming.
Honor killings are supposedly based upon the idea that a family's "honor" can only be restored by the murder of a woman or girl who is believed to have violated that family's and/or community's standards for acceptable behavior for females. The behavior which is sanctioned is almost always sexual, and violations range in severity from minor flirtations and wearing revealing clothing to more advanced matters like unwed pregnancies. What each murdered victim shares is the fact that they are perceived as a "slut" or "whore" who has brought shame upon those connected to them.

Global Connector Leader LEMO Acquires Custom Cable Manufacturer Northwire
Two privately-held companies combine over 100 years of industry expertise
"The acquisition of Northwire will enlarge the LEMO offering, providing a complete cable-connector solution to our valued customers. I am convinced that by creating synergy between our two companies, we can grow and prosper side-by-side. Together we will be able to provide our customers high-quality complete cable-connector solutions. I am very pleased about this new venture with NWI and look forward to developing new business together. I also take the opportunity to emphasize that the Northwire and LEMO existing structures will remain unaltered. The additional processes that we plan to implement will enable Northwire's integration into the Group and promote our cooperation and services provided to our mutual customers", said Alexandre Pesci, CEO and President, LEMO Group.
LEMO and NWI were founded on product innovation three generations ago. Today, both solution providers consistently deliver progressive inventions through rapid response contract manufacturing. At the same time, they offer unparalleled levels of service excellence and on-time shipping performance. An engineer and inventor, Mr. Léon Mouttet started LEMO in 1946, then patented the Push-Pull Self-Latching mechanism. Throughout the second generation of leadership, Mr. Marcello Pesci, who envisioned the alignment of his organization with a custom cable manufacturer, committed to the goal of creating best-in-class technology on a global scale. Currently, LEMO's third generation of leadership, Mr. Alexandre Pesci, is the architect of his predecessors'
"LEMO has achieved a world-wide reputation for high-quality, leading-edge connectors and we are truly proud to become an integral part of their team. LEMO's field-proven custom connectors revolutionize NWI's suite of offerings that evolved in our past 43 years, originating from wire, cable, retractiles, cable assemblies, and value-added services. Equally focused on satisfying our customers, LEMO and NWI look forward to acquiring new customers and serving our loyal customers' needs for engineered solutions and service excellence well into the future", expresses Katina Kravik, CEO of Northwire, Inc.
Sharing Mr. Mouttet's engineering and entrepreneurial spirit, Northwire founder Mr. Ormund Kravik pursued many business opportunities before identifying the market demand for custom technical wire and cable in 1972, when he started NWI. During Mr. Mark Kravik's second generation of leadership, he established the industry benchmark for quality, on-time shipping and no minimum order quantity requirements in his efforts to achieve service excellence. While continuous improvement via company-wide professional development and robust engineering challenges are hallmarks of Northwire's third generation, Mrs. Katina Kravik is excited about Northwire's future with LEMO and remains steadfast in their mutual commitment to every customer.
LEMO and NWI will focus on joint value creation for the benefit of all their valued customers, while continuing to maintain their high standards of quality and service that the customer expects.

Democratic Voices
Finally! An issues based social media outlet for our Democratic Voices to be heard. Read on (from them)...
Having returned from Arizona I'm often asked if I'm happy to be back in Ohio. The answer is an unequivocal yes, I'm home. After playing a supporting role in Sherrod Brown's reelection in 2012 my friend Jeff Rechenbach and I asked ourselves, how can we best contribute to strengthening and growing the Democratic party in Ohio. Our answer is Democratic Voices.
We are excited to share with you the friends and family launch of our online community, Democratic Voices. As you may know, we have been working toward this day for quite some time--- and we are now ready for you to join us.
Today, we would like you to be one of the first people to join our Democratic Voices community. You will be an integral part of shaping the future of our organization and our site.
At Democratic Voices we believe that today's public conversations are too often focused on political point-scoring which gets far more attention than problem-solving. People trying to do the right things for the right reasons get left out of the conversation. We created Democratic Voices to bring people back into the conversation. By sharing their stories with a broad audience, we hope to bring out humanity in politics.
Over the past year we travelled all over the state of Ohio capturing stories about people's experiences and the values they hold, and turning those stories into original videos to be shared online. In addition to our own video production, we also collect other meaningful stories on the internet and share those with our Democratic Voices community. We invite you to take some time to check out our website and share these stories with your friends and family.
In the coming weeks we will be emailing you to get your feedback on our website, Twitter, Facebook, newsletter, and overall impression of our work. From your feedback, we will continue to develop content that is meaningful to you and your friends. We hope you are willing to engage in sharing positive and meaningful discourse to further promote our Democratic values. Thank you for supporting Democratic Voices as we enter into this very exciting new phase.

Well, I like it. I can certainly see the Staff part of it but the rifle part doesn't look that rifle-y. I'd recommend some sort of scope-like feature to make it more sniper-y.

"Ghostbusters": 11 Things the Sequel Needs to Do to Succeed
Comic Book Resources is running a contest where five lucky winners will receive free autographed copies of my book, Was Superman a Spy? and Other Comic Book Legends Revealed!
Enter here.
To refresh your memory, "Fear Itself," a new horror series that is available to view online on FEARnet.com, gave us a signed copy of 30 Days of Night: Dust to Dust exclusive Comic Con comic that is autographed by creators Steve Niles and Ben Templesmith and the issue's writer, Tom Waltz.
Here's the issue in question (click to enlarge):
Read on for some info about the show and the winner of the contest! Continue Reading »
Here's a quick one that I just thought up, so here you go – there is a connective theme going on in these comic covers (could be something about the setting, could be something about the creators, could be a trait some characters on the cover share, could be a lot of things). You have to have some comic book knowledge to get the answer (in other words, it can't be something you can tell just by the cover, like "they all feature blond people!" – you have to have some additional knowledge), and said knowledge isn't as general as "they've all been married" (now if it was "they've all been married and their wife/husband turned into a supervillain," THEN we're talking!). This was a quick one, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was more than one possible theme, but only one that I'm thinking of!
Good luck! Continue Reading »

Here's the info on the show:
"Fear Itself", the suspense and horror anthology series from the creators of "Masters of Horrors" and aired on NBC, is now available to watch for free on FEARnet's website and VOD service. Each installment bears the signature mark of one of a host of award-winning filmmakers, including John Landis ("An American Werewolf in London"), Darren Bousman ("Saw II, III and IV") and Ronny Yu ("Freddy vs. Jason"). A line-up of gifted film and television actors star in the series, and the teleplays are penned by luminaries from the horror/suspense world.
"New Year's Day," directed by Darren Bousman ("Saw II, III and IV") and written by Steve Niles ("30 Days of Night") from a story by Paul Kane, is now live on FEARnet. The episode is about a young woman who wakes up in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by horrifying zombies. Take a look at these behind the scenes videos new to FEARnet:

Towards the end of the month, Comic Book Resources is doing a special feature on the Top 25 Comic Book Battles, and we want YOU readers to choose the list!
Vote for your top 10 top (and by top, I mean your favorite) comic book battles by 11:59 Eastern on November 19th, and we'll reveal the results in a special feature on CBR the following week!
Simply list your top ten (and please pick 10 – less than ten and I won't count any of your votes) from your top choice to your bottom choice, in the comments below (please include the word ACBC in the comment, that way your ballot will appear invisible to other readers).
Your top choice will be given 10 points, your second choice 9, etc.
Here are the following guidelines:
1. Vote for a specific battle in a comic book. It's that simple.
Spider-Man versus the Juggernaut? Fine.
The Battle of Thermopylae in 300? Fine.
Superman versus Doomsday? Fine.
2. Specific issue numbers aren't necessary, just make it clear what you're referring to (so if you want, say, Superman versus Lex Luthor, be more specific about WHICH battle you're referring to).
3. List ten choices.
Remember, please include the following word: ACBC – on your ballot. It will make it so your ballot appears invisible to other readers, so only I can read it (and count your vote secretly).
Most importantly, have fun!
Now vote!
Okay, here's the game – I give you ten phrases – each phrase corresponds to a comic book title (each title has at least two words in the title). Name the title that corresponds to each phrase! Yay!
"There's those two titles you were looking for, Outlaw: Champions of Kamigawa and Heretic: Betrayers of Kamigawa!" = Books of Magic (They're both titles of Magic: The Gathering novels).
Have fun! Continue Reading »

Everyone digs Atomic Robo, right? Fun comic book (I mean, it's no Skyscrapers of the Midwest, which had a collection just came out this past week and can be had for a mere $20!) with good artwork.
Bill Reed picked it as the comic he'd most recommend to new comic book readers.
Well, Kirk Warren, over at the Weekly Crisis comic book review blog, is running a contest where he is giving away three AUTOGRAPHED copies (by Atomic Robo writer and co-creator, Brian Clevinger) of the Atomic Robo trade paperback, collecting the six issue Atomic Robo mini-series!
Click here for more details!
Simon & Schuster is doing an interesting contest for aspiring comic book creators. They have an author, Matthew Reilly, who is coming out with the sequel to his best-selling novel, The 7 Wonders. The new book is called The 6 Sacred Stones, and the contest is this – they give you an excerpt of the book, then you adapt the excerpt into a comic book (no longer than 20 pages), enter it, and the winning entry will appear in the Mass Market paperback edition of The 6 Sacred Stones, due out in January 2009.
Here are the rules (and a link to the excerpt).
Sounds to me like a pretty straightforward way for an aspiring comic book artist to show off his or her storytelling skills, for a large audience.
Bumped – I've gotten four entries so far, and they're quite good, but I'd like a couple more before I share them with you folks.
This nice fellow named dogwelder on Flickr decided to re-ink a panel I posted awhile back as an example of how DC had people redraw Kirby's Superman.
I liked his ink job, but I call upon you artists out there to give it a shot, too! Re-ink the same panel dogwelder did, and e-mail a jpeg of it to me (email@example.com), and I'll post them! It's just the one panel, so it shouldn't take up too much of your time.
Sound cool? If so, get inking!
Here's a new contest!
If you have not been following Comic Book Idol 3, it begins officially today, Thursday, October 11th.
Here is a list of the ten finalists, with a link to their websites.
The contest is a simple one – post in the comments section to this entry who you think the two finalists will be. Everyone who guesses correctly will be entered into a random drawing, with the winner receiving a bunch of free stuff, including autographed comics courtesy of Comic Book Idol 3's host, J Torres!!
So make your guesses! I'll stop accepting guesses next Wednesday, at 11am Eastern time.
Comics Should Be Good accepts review copies. Anything sent to us will (for better or for worse) end up reviewed on the blog. See where to send the review copies.

I am converting videos using ffmpeg. Videos are 1080p at first and I convert 1080p to h264 720p and 360p. Also if videos are 360p I`m converting them to h264 360p. The problem is when converting happens from 1080p to lower formats the sound is really really quiet while 360p to h264 360p are fine and you can hear them without problems on laptop.
I read about program called sox, downloaded it and it just handles .wav files not .mp4 I need.
I could do it ffmpeg -vol option, but there could be noise, while I read that sox calculates the maximum value so there would not be any side effects.
What is the best way to do this? Just a side note I
m not that strong on linux, so please dont make it very complicated.

The hottest thing to come out of Britain in years, the play with the unprintable title is a passionate, erotic tug-of-war. The tiny cast revels in the power of suggestion and insinuation, fully giving their blood, sweat, and tears over to the carnage.

Carlon is one of those people who has never taken responsibility for anything he
has ever done wrong. Some players take a play or two off, Carlon would take
whole games off and blame everyone else for the problems. His leaving will be
addition by subtraction. For those that were wondering, he does have a redshirt
year which he can use so he will be able to go to a D1 school and have one year
to play.
Boylen has made some mistakes in recruiting but he is going to put his stamp on this team. Hopefully the new players he brings in will play the type of ball he wants to play (can you say Michigan State).
One last thing BYU fans. Rose is a very good coach but he didn't save your program. The thanks for saving your program go to Steve Cleveland who came in and cleaned up Roger Reid's mess.

Asking if Carlon can play at a lower division -- like Weber State? This just in
-- Weber State, like Utah, Utah State, UVU, SUU and YBU ARE ALL DIVISION I.
Carlon, looking for somewhere to play -- go to Dixie State. They went to the tourney this year and I'm sure they'd be glad to have you step right in and lead them for a year.

right....your BEST player is leaving. You, my friend, have a problem. When players leave, they leave for a reason. The reason is they aren't happy playing for their coach. Why do players not leave on other losing teams? Because they believe in and respect the coach. The Ute players don't respect Boylen and don't want to play for him. Hence, the departures....more to come. Stay tuned!

Utah could have 5 Carlon Browns and would still be no good. They need to start
over from scratch. Get rid of all the players including the coach.
Have you been watching the NCAA tourney? All of the teams have several bigs that can shoot, run, play defence and are mobile. Why can't Utah come with even one of these types? We get players under 6'2".
I can't understand why.

I am glad to see the Giac era finally come to an end with this transfer. Brown
led the team in turnovers and has not improved since he was playing a freshman,
just like Tillie and Drca. He was terrible in the last few games of the season
and this team lacked leadership all year that these 3 players should have
provided. Brown could have been a leader next year, but is making the choice to
walk away instead. True great players at Utah go on to play in the NBA, they
don't transfer. Carlon should have asked Justin Hawkins how his transfer worked
out going into his Senior year.
It is interesting that fans get after Boylen, and don't acknowledge that Green, Nevill, Borha and Kepkay all improved under Boylen from year one to year two. It is obvious to me that Tillie, Drca and Brown were never the caliber of player to lead the Utes where they are used to being.
Watkins, Henderson, Hines and Washburn at least showed they cared this year on the court.

Hey, cut the coach some slack. The people who left weren't helping the team anyway. Give Boylen a comple of more years and I think he'll turn it around. He's a decent man and a good coach.

Sounds like Hines is also going to transfer. No wonder the Utes went 14-17, I agree Boylen had no leadership on this team and it appears half a roster full of quitters. At least he wants to win.

As a season ticket holder (6) I have NO problem with these athletes leaving. I don't know who was at fault, but Drca and Brown did not step up last year. Either they couldn't learn/listen or Boylen can't teach, but their consistently poor choices in shots and passes were maddening. Now we might soon see which it is. Of the four, I wish that Matt Read had stuck and achieved. After watching the NCAA's in SLC, one is struck that we need a bunch of 6'9" studs, not a group of 6" guards. Good luck, Jim.

To all the posters who obviously can't read and prove it by saying things like
"three are leaving?" or "who else is leaving?" or "sounds like Hines is going to
transfer too" - the article is very clear: two more Utes are leaving (Brown and
Hines), they join the other two who left last week (Reid and Cyphers) 2 +2 = 4.
To be clear, brown has a red-shirt year and one year of eligibility - he stunk this year so good luck elsewhere. We need athletes, ball-handlers, defenders, and SHOOTERS. We'll have room to bring in some players now - two graduated, four transferred and one is leaving on a mission. Go get some great players, Coach Jim and bring back the winning ways of Utah basketball since no other team in the Mountain West can get past the 2nd round in the NCAA Tourney.

—Dr Howell makes a good point regarding our study, namely, that physician ethnicity or cultural background may play an important role in the physician/patient encounter. We were unable to detect an effect of physician ethnicity in either of our studies examining ethnicity and pain management, but given the numbers of nonwhite physicians in our practice setting, we have limited power to examine this issue.1 We suspect that the assimilation process involved in medical training produces physicians that are more alike than not, and we encourage others to examine this question.Dr Young takes us to task for using the term "race" in a table heading and the term "racial bias" in our discussion. He also states that we categorized Hispanics as a separate racial group. That was not our intention. We examined ethnic and cultural differences, not genetics.

Two American Indian tribes and the U.S. government have gone to court in a battle over an eagle-feather headdress that, according to folklore, was last worn by Apache leader Geronimo.
After a Georgia man tried to sell the headdress over the Internet for $1.2 million a year ago, the FBI seized it on the grounds that trafficking in feathers of bald and golden eagles is illegal. Leighton Deming, who says Geronimo gave his grandfather the war bonnet after a historic powwow in Oklahoma in 1907, agreed to forfeit the artifact in exchange for probation.
The Mescalero Apache Tribe in southern New Mexico was first to file a claim. The tribe says Geronimo was the acclaimed "war chief of all Apache tribes" and the headdress would make a fine addition to their museum.
Two weeks later, the Comanche Tribe of Oklahoma put in its bid. The Comanches argue that Apaches did not wear long-feather war bonnets, but their tribe did and made the one seized by the FBI.
Comanches say that even if Geronimo wore the headdress, it was only on loan. The Comanches never would have given a non-Comanche an item of "tremendous religious and cultural significance," their claim said.
Apache attorney James M. Burson said the dispute has required a "time-consuming historical investigation."
"There's virtually no one alive to tell us the actual instance when Geronimo got the war bonnet, and there aren't any kind of historical documents," he said.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert E. Goldman said the artifact would either go to the Department of the Interior for display in a museum or be returned to the tribe that can prove ownership.
The case has been filed in federal court in Philadelphia because that is where Deming was caught trying to sell the bonnet to an undercover FBI agent for $1.2 million.

Arrest vs. Detention: How to Tell Whether You've Been Arrested or Simply Detained
It's possible for the police to arrest you—intentionally or not—before saying that you're under arrest.
You're walking down the street when a police officer orders you to halt and begins asking you questions. You're pretty sure that you're not free to leave. Does that mean that you've been arrested, or are you simply being detained?
In general, if a reasonable person in the suspect's shoes wouldn't feel free to leave an encounter with the police, then there's been either a detention or an arrest. Determining which can be tough—and sometimes crucial. Suppose, for instance, that an officer has reasonable suspicion to detain someone, but not probable cause to arrest her. In the course of the encounter, the officer discovers incriminating evidence. In this situation, if the defense attorney persuades the court that, instead of merely detaining her, the officer arrested the suspect without probable cause, then the evidence may be inadmissible in court.
(For information about the level of suspicion police officers must have in order to detain or arrest, see What's the difference between an arrest and a detention or "stop and frisk"?)
Detentions and Arrests
An officer's "brief and cursory" holding and questioning someone is a detention. An example is a cop stopping someone who is behaving suspiciously in order to ask a few questions. The suspect isn't free to leave, but he also isn't under arrest, at least until the officer develops probable cause. Another common example is an officer pulling over a driver for some kind of traffic or equipment violation.
An arrest, on the other hand, involves the police taking someone into custody through a more significant restraint on movement. The quintessential example involves the use of handcuffs and an advisement that the suspect is under arrest. (See How do I know if I've been arrested?)
Brief and Cursory?
Investigatory stops (or "detentions") must be no longer than necessary and officers must investigate with the least intrusive means that are reasonably available. When an officer prolongs a detention beyond what is brief and cursory and broadens it, then the detention may turn into a de facto arrest—that is, an actual but not official arrest.
If a reasonable person in the suspect's position would have considered the police's behavior to constitute the kind of restraint that's typical of formal arrest, then an arrest has occurred. Some courts phrase the issue as depending on whether, after brief questioning, a reasonable innocent person would have felt free to leave—if not, there's been an arrest. (Johnson v. Bay Area Rapid Transit Dist., 724 F.3d 1159 (9th Cir. 2013).)
No Bright Line
Courts consider a variety of factors in determining whether a detention has ripened into an arrest, among them:
- the amount of force the police used
- the need for use of force
- the number of officers involved
- whether officers suspected the suspect of being armed
- the manner in which officers physically handled the suspect (including the use of handcuffs), and
- the length of the stop.
(U.S. v. Vargas, 369 F.3d 98 (2d Cir. 2004), In re Hoch, 82 A.3d 1167 (Vt. 2013).)
Although the extent to which officers restrain and intrude upon the suspect are key to the determination, there's no bright line indicating the point at which a detention becomes an arrest. For instance, the use of handcuffs doesn't automatically signal an arrest where there are concerns for officer or public safety.
In one case, officers handcuffed a suspect and placed him in the back of a squad car while they searched a house he had just visited. The appeals court held that their actions didn't turn the detention into an arrest because they needed to avoid an escape attempt and to take precautions against potential violence. The court also found that it made sense to take the suspect back to the house because they knew that the search they were about to begin could implicate him. (United States v. Bullock, 632 F.3d 1004 (7th Cir. 2011).)

Installed the 'tweet-this' plugin, all very easy to do. However, when you activate it and then go back to the blog, the whole site hangs and stops responding?

Installed the 'tweet-this' plugin, all very easy to do. However, when you activate it and then go back to the blog, the whole site hangs and stops responding?
Anyone the same and found a fix?
Thanks in advance!
Same for me over at wherespresso.com
To debug this required an our of turning about 30 plugins on and off, whilst on phone to ISP, to find it.
As soon as I clicked "Activate" it started a loop and rogue processes.
Rectification needed the ISP to kill the processes and me to quickly de-activate.
I am running latest version of WP with Analytics, CommentsLuv, AddThis, Google Maps, Apture, Feedsmith, WP Sticky/Print/Email/Comment Rating/Post Rating, Contact Form 7, TDO mini forms, Subscribe to comments, Similar Posts, SEO plugin etc.
I have run into the same problem as well. I had Tweet This running on my site (and many of my clients) without any problem... then WONK! I looked on my error_log and found that I had been getting process errors for some time. Then it finally croaked my site. Had to do the trial and error de/activating thing til I found it.
Must be another plugin its interfering with, because it's working fine on my clients' sites.. nothing in the error_log and things running smoothly... I'll be removing it as a safety measure regardless.
I don't know if it has to do with anything, but at least today I cannot access the Tweet This author's site....
This seems to have happened to me as well. Immediately after upgrading to version 2.8.
Which process do I need to tell my hosting company to kill?
My error log doesn't show anything?
I've deactivated every other plugin. But when you try and deactivate Tweet This it just hangs. Can't change Themes and can't view the site.
I had similar hanging problems. The plug-in seemed to work for a while, but then the Preview button stopped working while I was working on a new post. I decided to Publish it anyway, and then the whole blog froze (though other blogs on our WordPress MU 2.7 installation were OK). I attempted to deactivate the plug-in. That eventually timed out with a failure error... But then for whatever reason it and the symptoms disappeared, so maybe it did manage to deactivate. I have deleted Tweet This from our system.
Tweet This kills my blog too. Actually, it totally killed one of my client sites about two weeks ago - which cost me and my server guy a good couple of hours of misery.
Luckily we had a server backup from the day before. If we hadn't, that would have been curtains for me as a WordPress designer.
Is this just the way it is with 'open source'? I'm getting bored of the 'upgrade-fail-panic-fix-upgrade-fail-panic-fix-upgrade' cycle I have no control over - other than to get out of the game completely, which I'm considering.
Tweet This was working on one of my sites but after I updated another plugin (All in One SEO Pack) to 1.6.1, I got a 500 Internal Server Error. After my blog host disabled all my plugins and I started testing them one by one, it turned out that Tweet This was causing the Internal Server Error. The Tweet This developer's site is down--maybe it is required for the plugin to work? http://richardxthripp.thripp.com/
However, even though the developer's site is down, the Tweet This plugin is still working fine on another blog running on the same Web host. I have not updated All in One SEO Pack on that blog (still using 1.5.7). Installing the update to the All in One SEO Pack required an update to the MySQL database tables in the settings for the All in One SEO Pack. Perhaps this affected the Tweet This plugin?
Hopefully the developer's site comes back and we can find out what the problem is.
looking quickly through the code, i guess i know what the issue is. The function tt_read_file(url) is running into a timeout, if "url" isn't responding. I changed the url Service in tweet this Settings to bit.ly because the default one obviously struggled with the function tt_read_file.
I was wondering how you got to the settings page after activating Tweet This because as soon as I would do that, I'd get an Internal Server Error. Then I thought maybe it was because I tried to view the site after activating it. So I reinstalled the plugin, activated it, and was able to go to the Settings page. I intended to change the URL shortening service to see if it would help on my site, but I already had it set to a different one than the default setting. I had it set to use Tinyurl. Since I was able to get to that page with no problem, I tested going to other pages and Tweet This now seems to be working again. Perhaps Tinyurl had also gone down.
In any case, everyone will need to change from the default url shortening service to something else because the default service depends on the developers site being up. Today, a new page is displayed at his site http://host.thripp.com/suspended.page/ that says,"This Account Has Been Suspended
Please contact the billing/support department as soon as possible.".
A dumb inefficient MySQL query on the http://th8.us home page cooked my server, and since Th8.us is the default URL shortener everything was timing out. I stripped Th8.us of URL lists and hit counters so it's more like is.gd / TinyURL and less like bit.ly. I also released version 1.4 of the plugin a few minutes ago which improves the speed a lot. Tweet This has been getting more negative than positive feedback because of these glaring issues, but I'm hoping to turn this around now.
