Comic Books
Showing results 216-255 of 377
From magical dimensions and mechanical worlds to the streets of New York and sub-Saharan Africa, things went pretty well even while yawns were elicited by He-Man, Superman and Cyclops in their fruitless foibles.
This week makes it thanks to Marvel as evening wear in Madripoor and New York's stylish night scene lead to heroism and fisticuffs. Meanwhile, Blue Lanterns flounder and Nite Owl needs a nap
It's not quite "independent's day," but there's strong storytelling from Matt Fraction, Bill Willingham, Selwyn Seyfu Hinds, Brian K. Vaughan, Kieron Gillen and David Hine as magic and madness combine.
Reed and the family head to Wakanda, Spidey fights in the middle of the Pacific (and it works) while Image's title that could, "Skullkickers," spans space and time to entertain in a fun week of comics.
A lot of books, starring the Justice League to the Defenders, really tried to tank the week, but "Journey into Mystery" and another Bill Willingham-led all-star performance on "Fairest" saved the day.
Things went pretty well as the week couldn't be submarined by Wolverine covering the same old ground and Animal Man getting a fresh new past.
It's more than giant robots and super-powered punching in a week that featured a dreadlocked Norse god, a child queen gone wrong, politics between magical tribes and Dr. Octopus' ego getting in the way of glory.
It's Independent's Day as it's all Image as "Saga" and "Manhattan Projects" dazzle while John Stewart and Jaime Reyes disappoint and many (Diana, Valen the Outcast and a gaggle of spies) try hard.
It was as bad as it was good as a preponderance of dismal books threaten to overcome Sigurd, the Snow Queen and a medieval barbarian tossed into the wild west. Derivative ideas, factual challenges - it was rough out there.
The Black Widow leads the action as she hops from continent to continent while Peter Parker struggles with his past, Mauricio Barrino struggles with the future and an alternate Superman handles it all.
It's a close call as three comics demand to make it home, while seven stinkers almost submarined the entire thing. Ming yes, Marcus Johnson no. Peter Parker yes, Danny Rand no. So much drama...
Hannibal can't be too mad at a week when two comics were so good they demanded to come home, from the wilds of post-Katrina New Orleans to fighting super villains along the Mediterranean & lost kids in magical lands.
Magic and intrigue stand center stage in a week that wins with the Empire's favorite spy, Loki keeps the plates spinning and an innovative new comic from Image continues to shine.
Peter Parker, Conrad Hauser, Matt Murdock, Baldy the Skullkicker and Casanova Quinn bring it home in a set of comics that delight despite cliches in Gotham, whining at Avengers Academy & more.
The week goes badly as no comic books were good enough to buy and stinky selections involving Superman, The Vision, The Flash, Scarlet Witch, Firestorm, Hope and Captain Britain fall, hard.
For a small amount of money, this week won with more brilliance from "Fables" and Wonder Woman having family squabbles that reveal more than an episode of "Maury" while Cable and Bruce Wayne disappoint.
Character mattered in books from each of the big four publishers this week, melding science and magic while spies became baby daddies, super villains got hypnotized and even great writers stumbled.
A dazzling four comic books were so good that they had to be bought, even while the avatars of Order and Chaos and teenagers in love battle it out to see which is so bad it can make rocks cry. (Spoiler alert: it's both)
Despite battling a viral infection that could fell a herd of wildebeests, the web's most dangerous reviews are back shining a spotlight on Image's sexy science-fantasy yarn while wishing Lovecraft would get exterminated.
A quartet of comics jumped from the world of question marks to find their way home, with political tension with heavy metal, fishy things from the New 52, Hawkeye pushed too far before demons and plenty of drama.
Peter Parker spins into another great comic book while winds blow wild in "Fables." The Legion tries hard, The Rock roadblocks his way into the franchise and Optimus Prime goes steampunk.
A fantastic week of comics with three jumps, great showings from all of the Big Four, from "Star Wars" to Valentine's Day in Iceland, even while Marvel lets us down big time in the Marcus Johnson department.
Three comics demanded to be purchased in a winning week heralded by licensed surprises, history from Skywalker Ranch that didn't involve "Red Tails" and Spidey realizing Peter Parker's value.
"Secret Avengers" gets a sympathy jump to make it home in a week that washes out on the strength of Batman's surprise, Deadpool's karaoke skillz and Hawkman overthinking things. Really!
Even when science and logic fail the likes of Moon Knight and Supergirl, things go well when Peter Parker make the right moves in a week that wins even when much of the web won't work.
Spies and space travel, betrayal and blasters, it's a good week to love comic books even though Barbara Gordon's "miracle" smacks of midi-chlorians and Norman Osborn's got jokes.
2012 gets a solid start with three comics declaring themselves so good that they must be purchased. Doctor Strange leads the way, The Midnighter can finish your sentences and Misty Knight blurs the lines.
Not a bad week for comics led by the brilliance of Natasha Romanov and a surprise from Image Comics while Captain America gets scared, "DMZ" stumbles to a close and Doctor Doom's apparently a moron.
Heroism falls flat in a week that barely wins. As always, "Fables" is choice and well-armed billionaires did all right, but Cap, Optimus Prime and the Justice League need to get it together.
A shocker win this week as Dark Horse delivers a "Star Wars" comic so good it practically Force chokes you, the holiday spirit holds sway over Asgard and to all, a good night.
Scoundrels, villains and misdirection lead the day as the three purchases demand their way to the promised land, with masterminds, sci fi heroes and giant robots reaching but just missing the mark.
Teamwork made the week's solitary jump lead off an inexpensive but effective week of comics as the industry delivered big savings on annoyances and tedium. Also? Fat Cobra!
Being thankful for a week that wins -- even if it did so by a thin margin -- as Steve Rogers gets clandestine, Adric Fell runs a lot and Tony Stark returns to the pile of purchases alongside one fun dwarf.
The kids are just barely all right as cliches run rampant and plots can't find the beat, but the week of comics weakly wins, like a single ray of sunshine poking through storm clouds.
Marvel's bad boys Norman Osborn and Loki lead the way for a great week for loving comics, even though the Serpent's leftovers linger, still dealing with ghosts of crossovers past.
The week washes out as only one book, a mean-spirited extra-human deconstruction from Image, proves solid enough to buy and only one, a post-script event title, is bad enough to loathe, with everyone else idling.
The House of Ideas dominates the purchases with better laughs from a merc with a mouth, an epic from Asgard and non-stop action from Steve Rogers' covert team. A winning week for comic fans.
Loki and Bigby Wolf lead of a winning week that manages the "meh" through bland antagonists, the end of "Fear Itself," Ultimate Blue Beetle retconning Wakanda into weakness and so much more.
Things go well as nothing is bad enough to curse about and DC's New 52 makes a strong showing in the purchases, from the middle ages to the possibilities of the future.
Image comes on strong with two comics well worth the money, naughty as they are, plus Matt Fraction keeps "Casanova" fascinating. "Batwing," "Deadpool" and others fall flat, but can't stop the winning.

He may be the first Bay Area player chosen in this week's NFL draft, but Fresno State wide receiver Davante Adams didn't even take up the sport seriously until his junior season at Palo Alto High.
"I broke my arm in Pop Warner and just gave it some time to heal," Adams said this week.
Instead, he played basketball for a few years.
There was another reason he stayed away from football.
"My mom was pretty scared by it," Adams said. "She didn't want me to play from the start. She was afraid something would happen to me."
Something did. Adams became a star during his redshirt freshman season at Fresno State, evolving quickly into quarterback Derek Carr's favorite target and a possible first-round pick in the NFL draft that runs Thursday through Saturday.
"We're expecting Thursday," said Adams, who decided to leave Fresno State despite having two more years of eligibility. "If Friday happens, we'll go from there."
The 6-foot-1, 212-pounder caught 102 passes for 1,312 yards and 14 touchdowns as a freshman in 2012. That was just a start. Last fall, he led the NCAA with 131 receptions for 1,718 yards and 24 TDs.
Adams was twice named to the All-Mountain West Conference first team after scoring at least one touchdown in 22 of his 26 career games. His 38 touchdowns set a MWC career record, even though he only played two seasons.
Asked what he expected to achieve in college, Adams said he wasn't at all surprised.
"I knew I'd be good enough," he said. "I didn't know exactly what numbers I'd be putting up, but I always knew if I put enough work into and stayed true to my dream of playing professional ball I'd make it to this point. I kept that vision on the back of my mind."
And his mother, Pamela Brown, no longer fears for her son.
"She is very excited," Adams said. "The whole family is."

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
Ins and Outs
A bit odd that Ade stayed given his total lack of pitch time. And I see that both Tom carroll and BAE have gone to QPR on loan.
With the 7 new players coming in, I'm not sure what will happen to last years signings. We've already lost Dempsey - who, although IMHO is no great loss, did score a few. I can't then see Glyphi and Dembele getting much time given how Capoue has played and Paulinho and assuming we may have Lemmon and Chadli wide (or Lamela).
Also not sure about the 'Home Growns' in the squad now, given all the 'British' players who went. I can see 7 true 21 English, but I'm not sure who else qualifies as HG - does Glyphi? When do thesquads get published - at the end of this month?
What, and we lose to that Woolwich bunch, and there isn't any furore here?Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
With Ade, Ithink its a case of doing what he does, and that's sit on his fat contract rather than go and play. I don't think siggy is good enough, as he is to slow. when he turns someone, he hasn't got the pace to get away from them and loses the ball. I can also see Eriksen taking Dembeles starting place.
Not worth kicking up a furore over the loss to them because it was expected as the players need time to gel. Hopefully Eriksen is the missing link and will be the spark to Soldado.

It just concerns me that AVB doesn't have a view of what is 'wrong' with the team and then buying players to 'fix' that problem. It seems more like a scattergun approach - just buy a lot of players and see what works. And the nett of that is that potentially, the players we bought only last season, are already appear to be surplus to requirement.
Just seems a strange approach to me.

This show was part of the "1995 Summer Tour."
if you haven't heard either these jams, I woud highly recommend seeking them out, they're both mind blowing.
My weekend was wedged nicely between a milk carton on the plane from Burlington that informed me that I could feel good about Hood, and hearing Bouncing on a Denver radio station on the way to the airport to fly home. I had a free flight (Frequent Flyer miles), and Phish was playing two nights at Red Rocks.
It was a clear day, and warm, despite the snow that had recently fallen in the mountains. I had stopped for lunch at a burrito place in Lakewood before driving up to the amphitheater, but I hadn't thought to pick up bottled water or anything for the show. It was a hot, dry wait in the stairway leading from the lower parking lot during soundcheck. A couple of women from California offered me sections of the oranges they had brought, and I accepted them gratefully. Eventually the gates opened and we flooded in.
The amphitheater at Red Rocks is fascinating. The seats lie between two rock walls whose red sandstone beds slope towards the stage at about the same angle as the rows of seats, which are really more like giant concrete steps. At the top of the amphitheater, the rock walls end abruptly, and the ground drops into a valley that separates the amphitheater from the mountainside. At the bottom of the amphitheater, the stage sits in front of another wall of rock, with buildings of red sandstone built on either side of the rock as if they are growing out of it. The layering in the sandstone behind the stage provided the only backdrop, which Chris Kuroda used to great advantage during the second set on Friday.
Friday's show began a little after 7:30 with a typically menacing My Friend. The Divided Sky that followed seemed particularly appropriate, looking back up the amphitheater to the blue sky framed by red walls of rock. After Divided ended, there was a pause as Page took a breath as if to mentally prepare, and began Strange Design. Oh Kee Pah immediately followed by a rocking AC/DC Bag picked up the energy again.
The next two songs were new, introduced by Trey (who thanked us for listening to brand-new stuff) as Theme from the Bottom and Taste. Since I hadn't heard the first couple shows of the tour, this was my first exposure to these songs, and I liked them both a lot. The lyrics were catchy in places, but they weren't the focus of the songs. They also didn't have the extremely complex arrangements of songs like Rift or the how-fast-can-they-play adrenaline rush of Llama. I was convinced Theme from the Bottom is a love song from a catfish to a loon. Sparkle was followed by a typically mind-blowing Antelope (this is the song I think is most likely to set off an earthquake), which ended the set.
I think it was during set break that I first noticed a number of people on the cliffs surrounding the amphitheater, despite the warning signs everywhere to stay off the rocks. From my seat beside the tapers section, though, I had no idea that security was clashing with people trying to sneak in the venue just behind the amphitheater.
The moon, stars, and Denver city lights were visible by the time the second set started. Split Open and Melt started the set off with the energy level that ended the first set. The jam had an angular feel to it that reminded me of the 12/1/94 (Salem, OR) version. I didn't immediately recognize the Wedge that followed. The intro was different yet again from the 1993 Red Rocks Wedge. A great song to hear so close to the Great Divide it stayed in my head most of the next day. Scent of a Mule was the only Hoist offering of the evening. Page's solo included some spontaneous accompaniment by Trey and Mike that added a lot. Cavern rocked us next, followed by a David Bowie that I enjoyed, but I don't remember the details. Roadies brought out four stools and four acoustic guitars for the Acoustic Army that came next. The crowd was nearly silent except for cheering wildly at the false endings. They remained quiet for the Sweet Adeline. A beautiful Slave to the Traffic Light ended the set. The Squirming Coil encore was marred only by one fan who decide to dance onto the stage, but was quickly whisked away by security. I don't usually like Page's solo as the ending of a show (I enjoy Page's playing in the context of the whole group much better than any piano solo alone), but I enjoyed this one quite a bit (this was the second time I listened to Page soloing as a spontaneous composition, and I appreciated the solo much more as a result).

February 01, 2013
The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has found evidence of widespread mis-selling of interest rate hedging products (IRHPs) to small firms following a pilot review. As a result, Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds and RBS will start a full review of their sales of the products to small businesses and set about providing redress.
The FSA looked at evidence of individual sales of IRHPs, together with the bank's and an independent reviewer's assessment of each file. It also took evidence from customers. In all, the FSA looked at 173 sales to "non-sophisticated" customers and found that over 90% of the sales did not comply with at least one or more regulatory requirement.
Now the four banks will review individual sales and provide redress to customers based on principles outlined in the FSA report. The FSA said a significant proportion of the 173 cases reviewed are likely to result in redress being due to the customer.
The FSA has also been reviewing sales of IRHPs by Allied Irish Bank (UK), Bank of Ireland, Clydesdale and Yorkshire banks, Co-Operative Bank and Santander UK. The FSA aims to be able to confirm that these banks can launch their reviews by 14 February.
Martin Wheatley, CEO designate of the Financial Conduct Authority, said: "Where redress is due, businesses will be put back into the position they should have been without the mis-sale. But it is important to remember that this review is firmly focused on the particular circumstances of each sale."
Phil Orford, chief executive of the Forum of Private Business (FPB), said: "To see that 90% of the FSA's sample review of sales broke regulations is shocking, but unsurprising. Products forced on customers to 'protect' them have in fact caused stress, debt and closure for many small businesses. This is another epic fail by the banks, but one they must put right – and quickly too."
John Walker, national chairman, Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), said: "This is alarming, but it will come as a relief to the thousands of small firms who have been anxiously waiting for an outcome on this very complex situation. However, we are concerned that the FSA has not mandated that all payments are suspended when a firm enters into the scheme – we would like the banks to do this for their customers. There is also a lack of clarity on what full redress looks like."

PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 Bio SKY Country OyrHESALISH^tND DX>RIELygA TEN VOLUME 10 NUMBER KM0 NEW MOON OF BANDS SPREAD ALL OVER FEBRUARY 15,1981 Council, Ronan Chamber of Commerce meet to promote co-operation In what may become an annual affair, the Tribal Council met with the Ronan Chamber of Commerce on January 27 to discuss various issues facing both groups here on the Flathead Reservation. Perhaps uppermost in everyone's minds was the matter raised earlier this month about BIA licensing of non-Indian businesses on Indian reservations (see article in our last issue, page 16). Proposed regulations to "modernize trading" in Indian Country were published in the February 6 Federal Register, and following a 30-day comment period, the rules could become reality. The view from this reservation and others in Montana, is that no one --BIA, the Tribes and non-Indians - wants any part of the proposed rules and Washington, D.C. has been so notified. Other topics of discussion during the luncheon meeting included the Tribes' Class I air re-designation - which everyone present, save tribal councilman E.W. Morigeau, favored - and upgrading employment opportunities (of the non-polluting kind) in the valley. Highlight of the day was a short awards ceremony during which three Ronan men were honored for saving a young tribal member from drowning last year. Phil Grainey, Rick Jennison and Bob McCrea received commendation plaques and a letter from Deputy Commissioner of Indian Affairs for disregarding their personal safety to rescue 5-year-old Robert James Matt from drowning in a not-frozen-over-enough pond behind the boy's house. The Deputy Commissioner's letter to the three heroes said: "It has been brought to my attention that recently the actions you took were instrumental in saving the life of Robert James Matt, age 5, an enrolled member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of Montana. "The fact that each of you collectively were willing to sacrifice yourselves to save the child is something that will be long remembered, not only by the family of the child, but by the community and officials of the Bureau of Indian affairs at all levels of operation. (Continued on page 3) Fees set for tribal court advocates The CSKT legal department announces it First fee schedule for court advocate services. Court advocates (also known as para-legals) are specially trained people who are licensed to represent clients in tribal court (in lieu of expensive lawyers) for certain types of legal situations. Free in the past, the advocates' time and expertise now have a price tag. The fees, payable by those clients who can afford them-per-sons with low incomes aren't charged - will go to provide further advocate training and to help offset other costs of the para-legal system.

On March 12, 2014, Ducks Unlimited announced the winners of the 2014 Wetland Conservation Achievement Awards during the 79th annual North American Wildlife and Natural Resources Conference, held in Denver.
DU's 2014 Wetland Conservation Achievement Awards were presented in six categories and recognized individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the conservation and restoration of North America's wetlands and waterfowl. DU Chief Conservation Officer Paul Schmidt and DU CEO Dale Hall presented the awards. This year's winners are:
"These winners are a true testament to hard work and determination, and serve as perfect examples of people from various walks of life who have a shared passion for wetlands and waterfowl conservation," Schmidt said. "DU is honored to recognize their work and hopes their achievements inspire others to follow suit."
As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, Representative Kristi Noem, along with Representative Tim Walz, has been taking steps to preserve the remaining native sod across the country. As a freshman member, Noem first introduced the bipartisan Protect Our Prairies Act, also known as Sodsaver, in May 2012 and then again in February 2013. A top priority of Ducks Unlimited, this common sense legislation encourages good land stewardship practices and preserves habitat for ducks, pheasants, and other wildlife on native sod and grasslands that haven't been farmed in the past. By reducing crop insurance assistance for grasslands converted to cropland, Protect Our Prairies could save America's taxpayers nearly $200 million over 10 years, according to the Congressional Budget Office. As a conferee on the Farm Bill conference committee, Noem was an essential player in securing the Sodsaver program's place in the final 2014 Farm Bill, which will apply to six of the top duck-producing states. Representative Noem is also an active member of the Congressional Sportsmen Caucus and an avid sportswoman herself. She has a strong understanding of what the hunting industry means to her home state of South Dakota.

Growing up in Windom, Minnesota, Kurt Forman knew he wanted to pursue a career in conservation. Throughout 20 years with the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program, Kurt has displayed an incredible talent for bringing people to the table and working through tough issues. As South Dakota State Coordinator, he is actively engaged in discussions to maximize the wildlife benefits of farm conservation programs while supporting opportunities for producers to stay profitable. Kurt's leadership has yielded impressive results: 7,692 acres of wetlands restored or established, with 32 percent in perpetual conservation easements; 27,512 acres planted in native grass, with 46 percent in easements; 463,901 acres of grazing systems in place, with 26 percent in easements. Kurt has also secured more than 18 million dollars in North American Wetland Conservation Act grants and critical matching grants. These funds have not only created tremendous habitat, they have provided support to over 3,800 private landowners. Working with DU, the National Wildlife Refuge System, private landowners, and other conservation partners, Kurt has helped create a lasting legacy of wetland and grassland protection.

During his career with the Wildlife Research Team at the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, and through his association with Trent University and various multi-disciplinary committees, working groups, and joint ventures, Dr. Ken Abraham has become recognized as one of the most accomplished Arctic ecosystem scientists in the world. Throughout his career he has contributed to waterfowl and wetlands conservation at the highest levels. This has been especially important for Arctic-nesting geese and their habitats, but also to systems and species in the Boreal Forest and elsewhere. He has seized opportunities to apply science to management issues in Ontario and throughout the Atlantic, Mississippi, and Central Flyways. Ken is a member of a small team of scientists whose work helped us understand the conservation challenges of overabundant geese. This resulted in over a hundred scientific papers and reports that are widely recognized for their singular leadership. He was a major contributor to the recent Atlas of the Breeding Birds of Ontario and, in 2006, was recognized as the Ontario Distinguished Ornithologist. Ken was also a key contributor to the 2005-2007 Continental Assessment of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan. Accomplishing this and more in a quiet, unassuming, firm, and friendly manner, Ken has distinguished himself as one of the continent's most effective leaders in waterfowl conservation.

Dr. Alan Afton received his B.S. degree in Wildlife Biology from Kansas State University in 1973. He went on to develop Masters and Doctoral projects on breeding biology of northern shovelers and lesser scaup. At the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources research center in Bemidji, he studied the migration ecology of diving ducks, particularly lesser scaup. In 1988 he moved to Louisiana State University, where he is in his 26th year. Alan became an expert in waterfowl social behavior, incubation ecology, and reproductive energetics. His studies included scaup population biology; northern pintail winter ecology and management; lead-shot management; effects of spinning-wing decoys and electronic calls; coastal marsh management; and winter ecology of gadwall, mallards, and canvasbacks. He is currently leading a multi-year study of scaup migration ecology in a continuing quest to shed light on the long-term decline of bluebills. In addition to teaching two graduate-level courses at LSU, Alan has supervised 16 Masters and six PhD students and served on many graduate-student committees. He is widely respected for his scientific accomplishments, his mentorship of young conservation biologists, his efforts to enhance communication in our field, and for all that he has done to advance understanding of waterfowl biology and inform conservation.

Paul Baicich has been an active birder since his early teens in New York City. A former employee of the American Birding Association, he edited 14 of their ABA Birdfinding Guides, as well as their bi-monthly magazine, and served as Director of Conservation and Public Policy. Today, through traditional and online media, as well as a variety of speaking engagements, Paul takes every opportunity to promote wetland conservation, especially through the purchase of Duck Stamps. Paul contributes regularly to bird publications and often writes about wetland conservation. As the Coordinator for the National Wildlife Refuge System Birding Team, Paul incorporated bird and wetland conservation and Duck Stamp materials into workshop discussions. He launched and directs the on-line Great Birding Projects as a vehicle to promote bird-related education tourism, bird conservation, and wetland conservation. Paul also co-edits the popular monthly Birding Community E-bulletin, in which he regularly includes information about bird and wetland conservation. Paul has been inspiring people to think about the Duck Stamp and its benefits to wetland conservation for years. He has gone beyond the typical hunter audience and reached birders, hikers, elected officials, and others to spread the value of the Duck Stamp, not only for wetlands and birds but for people too.

1. Wahoo! iPod Photo
So much for not being a gadget freak. =)
Dad got me an iPod Photo (30GB). After I formatted it to FAT32 using Windows, it mounted easily under Linux. I used the excellent bbdb-vcard-export.el to export my address book to lots and lots of VCF files, which I then copied into the iPod Photo.
I downloaded a couple of speeches and for my spiffy new iPod. I'm looking for audio books and poetry. Would anyone have a freely distributable archive of Shakespearean sonnets in MP3 form? If not, I'll probably try using a synthesizer to make instant e-books, or I can record them a poem or two at a time...
Downside? Adding new photos requires iTunes, which means I need to use either Windows or a Mac. I guess I'll really be bringing the Vaio with me.
Also, I'm really looking forward to ipodlinux fully supporting the iPod Photo. I'd love to run Linux on the device! I need to figure out how to flash the bootloader on and how to recover from mistakes. If I get that working, then I can help hack...

GLUTTONY (55 words)
Flash fiction by Sacha Chua
"Gluttony is indecent and a catalyst for sin," said his devoted mother, measuring rice grains for the famished boy.
"But mom!"
"Forgiving it would be like sending you to hell. No." She controlled everything he ate and did.
Eventually she died, still dogmatic and unrepentant. Traumatized, he satiated himself on junk food. He died obese.

3. Introducing the Hipster PDA
by Sacha Chua
(Sneak preview of m-ph entry for tomorrow)
"I've found the perfect PDA," I gushed. My friends perked up. Knowing how much of a geek I am, anything I was that crazy about was bound to be interesting. They leaned over and watched as I reached into my bag and brought out...
... my Hipster PDA.
Introducing the Hipster PDA
One of the hottest topics in the productivity blogosphere right now is the Hipster PDA, a surprisingly effective low-tech way to organize your life. Grab a pack of 3"x5" index cards and a fold-back clip and you're set to go!
What's so cool about the Hipster PDA?
- Gets rid of worries. You don't have to worry about running out of battery during a critical meeting. You can drop it and it will still work. Even if you dunk it in water, you'll still be able to recover your data.
- Grows along with you. Don't be constrained by software or hardware limitations! You can easily experiment with different ways of planning, and you can expand your Hipster PDA's memory simply by buying another pack of index cards at your nearest bookstore.
- Helps you stay focused. The Hipster PDA helps you stay focused and on-track by not supporting addictive games like Tradewinds. To help you pass the time, the Hipster PDA comes with a few built-in two-player games like Tic-tac-toe and Hangman.
- Organizes real-life data. Receipts? Business cards? Movie tickets? No problem! Just tuck them into the fold-back clip and process them when you get home.
- Beams anything to anyone. You can easily "beam" information to other people--just scribble a note and give it to them. 3x5 index cards don't crumple easily and can easily be shared with other people no matter what mobile device they use.
Here's what you can do with your own Hipster PDA:
- Get a good pen or mechanical pencil. Keep it with your Hipster PDA at all times.
- Write down one task per index card. You can write down subtasks and notes there as well. Rip up the task card up after completing the task for a satisfying finish.
- Alternatively, divide your tasks into projects and write down your tasks. Check the tasks off as you finish them.
- Scribble notes and ideas down on index cards.
- Write down a month calendar so that you can easily see when you have appointments.
- Print important contact information on an index card. You can probably fit 50 names and phone numbers. Good backup if your phone is out of battery or gets lost.
- Print birthdays on an index card, sorted by month and day.
- Label your Hipster PDA with your contact information just in case it gets lost. (name, phone number, e-mail address)
- Clip a cheap pen to your Hipster PDA for people who borrow pens. Never lend your good pen.
- Keep newly-written cards in an "inbox" section (front or back) so that you can process them when you get home.

5. Productive day!
I had so much fun writing today. 500 words for my m-ph entry, 1000 for the Linux Journal article on taming the todo (okay, I wrote maybe half of that last week), and 55 for the short story "Gluttony". I e-mailed the people I was supposed to e-mail from the game journalists' meet. I also released another version of Planner (3.30) and started setting up better version control.
_And_ I got to bond with my dad this morning, too. We looked for music. Couldn't find any decent musicals at Music One. They had the movie soundtrack for Phantom of the Opera, but I want the Broadway version because Raoul sounds like such a wuss in the movie. ;) Time to look for Rent, Cats, and all of those other musicals...

6. On teaching programming
why do I have to write all this syntactic sugar to just do the canonical "Hello, world"?
I firmly believe that the canonical "Hello, world" program is one of the worst ways to introduce Java, or even programming in general.
I like BlueJ. It's a nice, clean, object-oriented environment that immediately visualizes the difference between objects and classes and allows students to interact with objects before they even see Java code. I like the way BlueJ lets you interact with complex systems, learning about control structures and logic along the way.
A popular Python tutorial starts with using Python as a calculator instead of just getting it to print strings. Isn't that a great way for people to see how immediately useful a programming language can be?
I wouldn't start an Emacs Lisp tutorial with (print "Hello, world!"). I would start it by taking a look at an existing function and modifying it.
Languages should not all be taught the same way. Just because we might have learned with "Hello, world" doesn't mean that "Hello, world" is the best way to learn how to program. I think there are better ways to teach computer science, and I want to spend a fairly significant chunk of my life looking for them.
You can, too. Just remember that you can improve on the way things have always been done.

NACOGDOCHES, Texas – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi softball team split a doubleheader today with Stephen F. Austin in conference play. The Islanders sealed a 5-4 first game victory before dropping a 5-1 second game at Ladyjacks Softball Field.
The Islanders (9-34, 4-16 SLC) outhit the Ladyjacks (13-28, 6-14 SLC) 17-13 in the two games combined led by Meagan McKinney and Lindsey Lyles who went 3-for-5 on the day.
The Islanders will take on the Ladyjacks tomorrow in a rubber match at Ladyjacks Softball Field. First pitch is slated for 12 p.m.
For the latest on Islanders Softball, like the team on Facebook (Islanders Softball), follow them on Twitter (@IslandersSball) and visit www.GoIslanders.com.
The Islanders outhit the Ladyjacks 9-8 and scored in the third, fourth and sixth frames to win their fourth conference victory of the season, 5-4, at Ladyjacks Softball Field. SFA pulled within one in the bottom of the sixth but the Islanders held off the home team to secure the win.
Hayley Galloway went 3-for-4 to power the Islanders' bats while Cassie Carroll went 2-for-4 and Dani Tefft went 2-for-3. The Islanders also received a hit from Valerie Perez and McKinney who also both collected 2 RBI in the win.
Galloway tallied the Islanders' first hit of the game with a single up the middle. After SFA's Carlie Thomas recorded her first strikeout of the game, Perez was hit by the pitch and McKinney loaded the bases. However, Laura Phillips hit a hard line out to left field to cap the frame.
The Ladyjacks got on board first with two runs on one hit in the bottom of the first. After SFA loaded the bases with two walks and an Islanders' fielding error, Islander's hurler Constance Brandenburg recorded her first strikeout of the game. Carroll then tallied the second out with a force out at home on the Alexis Callan fielder's choice, before Shanice Love hit a two-run double to left center to plate a pair of runs and give the home team a 2-0 lead. Brandenburg pulled the Islanders out of the inning with her second punch out of the game to end the jam.
Dani Tefft collected the Islanders' second hit of the game with a two-out single to third base in the bottom of the second before the Islanders rallied back in the top of the third to knot the score at 2-2.
Galloway jumpstarted the third frame with a single up the middle with one out and Lyles followed with a walk to put Islanders on first and second. After a strikeout, McKinney drilled her first triple of the season down the right field line to score Galloway and Lyles and tie the score at 2-2. Phillips grounded out to end the two-hit, two-run top of the third.
The Islanders' bats rolled on through the top of the fourth to push ahead, 4-2. Carroll started things off with a single through the left side and advanced to second after Tefft reached on a walk. Mickayla Cochran followed with a fielder's choice as Carroll was out on the play. Galloway then stepped to the plate and ripped her third hit of the game with a RBI single through the right side to score Tefft and push the Islanders ahead, 3-2. Galloway advanced on the throw while Cochran landed on third. Lyles loaded the bases on a walk before Cochran scored on a RBI walk by Perez to pad the Islanders' lead to 4-2.
The Islanders extended their lead to 5-2 in the top of the sixth with one run on one hit. Tefft reached on a Ladyjacks' throwing error at third to start the frame and advanced to second a sacrifice bunt by Cochran. After an Islanders' strikeout, Lyles reached on her third walk of the day to put Islanders on first and second. Perez then stepped to the plate and cranked a two-out RBI single to second base to score Tefft and tack on the Islanders' fifth run of the day.
The Ladyjacks rallied back with two runs on four hits in the bottom of the sixth to pull within one. Nicole Wooten and Elizabeth Arana each chipped in RBI singles to plate Heather Hollingsworth, who came in to pinch run for Charlotte Singleton, who reached on a single to third base, and Bethany Brown who also reached on a single through the left side.
Brandenburg (6-13) picked up the victory in the circle for the Islanders. The junior allowed eight hits, four runs, two of them earned, while walking four and striking out four in seven innings.
Carlie Thomas (9-13) took the loss for the Ladyjacks. She allowed six hits and four runs while walking five and striking out four in 3.2 innings. Angela White came in for relief and allowed three hits and one run while walking one and striking out four in 3.1 innings.
The Islanders jumped out to a 1-0 lead with two outs in the opening frame. Lyles started things off with a single through the left side and scored on a Perez single to right field and a Ladyjacks' fielding error in right field.
Stephen F. Austin's leadoff hitter Arana tied the game at 1-1 with a solo home run in the bottom of the first. The Ladyjacks put together a two-run bottom of the third to push ahead 3-1 on two hits. Shanice Love hit a RBI single through the left side to score Arana who reached on a leadoff single up the middle. Lindsay Campbell reached on a hit by pitch to score Cadie Weaver who reached on a hit by pitch.
McKinney led things off in the top of the fourth with a single to right field before stealing second and advancing to third on a passed ball. Carroll followed with walk but SFA's pitcher White retired the next three Islanders.

1.2-11 Note-Taking
Revised to June 12, 2009
Note: The trial court has discretion to permit the jurors to take notes, but if it is allowed a precautionary instruction must be given. Esaw v. Friedman, 217 Conn. 553 (1991).
You may, if you wish, take notes during the course of the trial. <Have the court officer or marshal distribute note pads and pencils.> You are not required to take notes, even if all of your fellow jurors do.
Let me emphasize some ground rules for you regarding note-taking. Notes are a sound tool to help you refresh your recollection during the deliberative phase of this trial; however, notes, by themselves, are not foolproof. If there is a conflict between your notes and your recollection, it is your recollection that must prevail.
Additionally, if there is a conflict between your recollection and the notes of a fellow juror, it is your recollection that should prevail. Your notes are not evidence. You will recall my earlier definition of what constitutes evidence. Your verdict must be based exclusively on evidence presented at trial and the principles of law given to you in my final instructions.
The note-taking process should not distract you from focusing on the witness because the credibility you ascribe to a witness is critical. It is essential that you do not allow note-taking to interfere with or to impede your ability to view the witness, to listen to him or her, and to size him or her up; that is to properly evaluate the witness. You should not be so preoccupied with taking notes that you overlook what the witness is saying and how that witness is saying it. You may find that note-taking may distract you from giving full attention to a witness. You will need to observe the demeanor of a witness while he or she is testifying. You will be able to get testimony played back to you during your deliberations, so you do not need to make your own record of exactly what was said.
There is no need to try to take a lot of notes or to take down the testimony word for word. You may not make or modify any notes outside of court. Note pads will be collected at the end of each trial day and kept secure and confidential by the marshal or court officer. No one will look at them.
Whatever notes you take are confidential. You are not to exchange or discuss your notes with your fellow jurors during the trial itself. You may discuss your notes, if you choose, during the deliberation phase. Just as you cannot discuss or deliberate this case among yourselves until the case has been completed, so too, you cannot exchange or discuss your notes until the trial has been completed.
There is no requirement, of course, that you take notes. This is an option to be exercised by each of you individually. Those of you who elect not to take notes will be no less conscientious than jurors who take notes.
The juror who takes few or no notes should not permit his or her individual recollection to be influenced by a juror whose notes may differ from that recollection. Notes are only a tool and are not always accurate. Do not assume that a voluminous note-taker is taking notes that are necessarily more accurate.
I take notes because I may be asked to rule on issues during the course of the evidence. Your decision whether to take notes at any point should not be influenced by my note-taking.
Finally, notwithstanding note-taking by you and your fellow jurors, do not hesitate to seek a reading of any portion of the testimony if you deem it essential during your deliberations.
State v. Mejia, 233 Conn. 215, 228-29 (1995), applied the rule of
Esaw v. Friedman, 217 Conn. 553, 556 (1991), to criminal trials. Juror
note-taking is improper without the court's permission. State v. Collins,
38 Conn. App. 247, 255-60 (1995). In Collins, the court instructed the
jurors that note-taking was prohibited because "written notes tend to take on a
greater significance, in the jury room than they may
Practice Book § 42-9 provides that "[t]he members of the jury may, in the
discretion of the judicial authority, take notes and submit questions to be
asked of witnesses during the trial of a criminal action." There is no appellate
authority concerning the procedures to be used if the court allows the jury to
submit questions for witnesses.

There's a street artist in NYC by the name of D. Billy, and I sincerely hope he is being subsidized by the NYPD, because he has come up with a way to rid our streets of "unsightly" graffiti. By doing it with balloons! Just imagine how much time the sanitation department could save—just send out one guy with a needle, and he could take down an entire city's worth of balloon tags in a day. Truly a win-win solution. Plus, it's a good way to communicate Batman-like sound effects. Two more pictures of D. Billy's environmental revolution:

Verizon Wireless faced yet another network outage this month after its 3G and 4G networks went down in several major U.S. cities on Wednesday.
Following the outage, Verizon's customers took to Verizon's community forum and micro-blogging site Twitter to vent their frustration.
Later, during the day, the company said in a statement that the service is back to normal.
Verizon's spokesperson, Tom Pica, said the Verizon's network operations team worked early morning to resolve the issue.
Tom added that the customers now can make voice calls and use other services.
"This is a whole new paradigm of network technology, so I expect that issues will continue to occur." Akshay Sharma, an analyst at Gartner, said as quoted by CNN Money
What caused outage?
Though the company has rectified the error, there is yet no word on what caused the problem.
This is Verizon's third widespread outage of December. Also, according to the experts, this can happens again.
As Verizon was the first company to come up with a 4G LTE network at a large scale, "it's suffering the fate that all pioneers face" said Ken Rehbehn, analyst at Yankee Group.
Some analysts believe the complexity of LET technology might have led to the outage.
Akshay Sharma, an analyst at Gartner was quoted by CNN Money as saying, "This is a whole new paradigm of network technology, so I expect that issues will continue to occur."

While it hasn't been cleared up exactly when this show took place, the point is that, on this night, the band was inspired to do something they only did 5 times in their entire career. In the spring of 1988, Trey had been putting some serious work into his senior thesis. While several of the songs had already been written and were worked into the thesis conveniently (McGrupp, Wilson, AC/DC Bag, Possum, and the Sloth), many new songs resulted from Trey's project (Forbin's, Mockingbird, Tela, and the Lizards, all of which debuted in this time frame). Perhaps inspired by Zappa, the band decided to give the whole narrative a go. This was the first time that the band had played Tela and Forbin's, and Mockingbird was a mere infant, having only been played once before. As a result, this gamehendge plays much more like the official recording of Trey's thesis than some of the later versions where Trey had developed the story more (e.g. 3/22/93). For that reason, this is likely the weakest Gamehendge the band has played muscially, but also the most mysterious.
Starting the show with Jump Monk, a cover the band would never play fully again, although a song which would be stripped and rewritten to make up a few chord progressions in Stash, the band got right into things in this set with an early McGrupp. This is the only Gamehendge to feature McGrupp at the start of the cycle to serve as the bridge. It is a pretty McGrupp, though, and the long Page solo part does serve as the narration music in the original recording by Trey for his project. Whether by chance, or inspired by Zappa, or just trying to practice the songs he'd just written, Trey begins the narration with the standard "Once upon a time, there was a man...".
The narration is very similar to most versions. Colonel Forbin, noted to be 52-years old here, wants to do something more with his life and a door that he had been noticing recently piqued his curiosity. Off he goes, into the door, and he enters Gamehendge. I won't recant the whole story for you, as there's a great FAQ on it here at phish.net.
Lizards is played really well on this night. It features dedicated playing by Page and a perfect climatic arpeggio section by Trey. The Tela here is different, as it begins with the whole first verse consisting of just Trey playing chords and Page singing. The band doesn't come in until after the first verse. It's important to note here, too, that many early versions of Tela in 1988 had two sections of verses. One that Trey excised to the song structure that we hear today. Another combination of verses was a little more upbeat and with a different progression that lead into the chorus. So, this Tela is definitely unusual to most listeners. While the band played this 'odd' version of Tela for a little while, it was shelved and reworked until 1989.
As much as I like the upbeat-y verses, especially in contrast to the traditional Tela verses, I think that overall Trey did the song a service when he cut the song short. Most folks won't like this longer version, although they may like the ending, which features a totally different ending chorus (Teee-laa, baby bore?, Teeee-laaaa, wild world grown?, Teeee-laaaaa, voice of doom). Then, there's a really weird closing lick, featured by a Who Do We Do series of short notes.
Wilson here is a bit delayed, as there's about 2 minutes of narration as the band plays with Wilson's first 2 notes. The Wilson itself is very short, with a very little extension. It's at the end of Wilson that we can even hear bar music going on in the background (Allmans from what I can hear), so we know the show wasn't well attended. The audience cheers at the introduction of AC/DC Bag, so there are a few fans in attendance. This rowdy bag peters out like usual, and the narration continues.
The first Forbin's is actually played without many major flubs and the band almost perfectly moves into Mockingbird. Fish had revamped the drum section from the previous attempt on 2/7, and the song sounds much better. The narration before this song is interesting, as Trey calls out Steve from the audience for knowing Icculus and the Sloth. This Sloth includes "the whole 11 thing", which Page asks about. What he means here is that this is the first complete Sloth, with the heavy metal bridge. Prior to this version, the band hadn't played the middle section and versions were painfully short (around 2 minutes or so). After the Sloth, the band also plays what I like to call the "Tension Gamehendge Music", music that went into the tapes of the senior thesis and kind of served as an 'ending' to the narration.
This is the only live version to include Possum, as it somehow is related to the story, with Icculus serving as the singer (I come from top the mountain). It's a nice long Possum, inspired, but nothing too fancy. More interesting is the set-closing Antelope, which includes both "Touch Me" and "Dixie" teases by Page and Trey. It comes to a screaming close but tapes cut before the conclusion.
This show, being one of the only times the band ever played Gamehendge, is worth a spin, if only to hear not only how evolved the songs have become over the years (compare this Forbin's Mockingbird to, say, 9/30/00), but also to admire the guts of a young band to play a complete narrative rock opera to a no-cover bar on a Saturday night. The narration is very straight-forward, and Trey has a hard time closing the whole story. He ends it quickly, unlike later versions where he brings the story around to a close. While none of the versions of these songs stand out particularly, it is worth hearing the long full version of Tela, as well as hearing the funky ending to Sloth. '
An interesting aside, this show was the first show that future Phish manager John Paluska ever attended. He was up on a ski trip and came over for the show. After hearing the band on this night (and he recounts his tale in interviews that one can find online), he would later agree to bring them around to different venues in the New England area. Perhaps Phish did know what they were doing when they played Gamehendge the first time.
Also, it is likely no coincidence that the band would play Gamehendge exactly 5 years later. Although Trey does mention on 3/22/93 that he plays the cycle because he hadn't had a good attentive audience, perhaps he was also reminded of the 5-year anniversary of the first time the band played it, which gives us an even stronger clue as to the actual date of this show.

Old English sc(e)adu, of Germanic origin. Compare with shadow.
The Old English word shade is related to shadow, both going back to the same Indo-European root. Late 16th-century shady is based on shade; colloquial use meaning 'questionable, disreputable' arose in the mid 19th century perhaps from university slang. The origins of shades of—, used to suggest that one thing is reminiscent of another, have nothing to do with colour, but go back to an old use of shade to mean 'a ghost'. The idea behind the phrase is that the person or event either resembles or calls to mind someone or something from the past. By the late 19th century the meaning 'ghost' was more or less restricted to works of literature, so it is odd that it should have been revived in this phrase in the mid 20th century. An example from the American magazine Town & Country reflects its popularity: 'Shades of Jackie O, the Duke and Duchess, Capote, and an era when classic French cuisine, spacious luxury, and swizzle sticks were de rigueur.'

Exploring Health Policy
Conversations: Are We Equipped to Care for an Aging Population?
07.02.13 | By
As we continue to explore health policy through our 'Conversations' forum, today we're introducing the next question and encourage you to weigh in with your thoughts:
"Every day, thousands of Americans turn 65. How do we help ensure that the U.S. system is ready to meet their needs?
For years, health experts have been talking about the challenges our system will face when the wave of baby boomers retires. That time is now. With 16 more years of baby boomer retirements, what actions, if any, should we be taking to evolve our health care system to meet these challenges?
To kick off this week, responses from Freda Lewis-Hall, Chief Medical Officer at Pfizer; Mary Grealy, President of the Healthcare Leadership Council; and Bob Blancato, former executive director of the 1995 White House Conference on Aging, have already been submitted.
Your voice is critically important. We hope you will take a few minutes to read the responses and contribute your own comments.
