"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
Welcome to Food or Comics?, where every week we talk about what comics we'd buy at our local comic shop based on certain spending limits — $15 and $30 — as well as what we'd get if we had extra money or a gift card to spend on a splurge item.
Check out Diamond's release list or ComicList, and tell us what you're getting in our comments field.
Chris Arrant
If I had $15, I'd buy the leading contender for best ongoing series this year, Saga #10 (Image, $2.99). I loved the last issue focusing on the Will, but I'm excited at the prospect this one teases of Izabel returning – although in a red-tinged, seemingly evil demeanor. After that I'd get another creator-owned gem with Francesco Francavilla's The Black Beetle #2 (Dark Horse, $3.99). I love the latitude Dark Horse is giving Francavilla in the design packaging here – that cover is something special — and luckily, the insides have the promise of being even better given what happened last issue. Third and last in my $15 haul this week would be Dark Horse Presents #21 (Dark Horse, $7.99). Criminally underrated and consciously mind-blowing, this issue promises three new serials debuting plus a collaboration between Neil Gaiman and Paul Chadwick about alien saucers. Why isn't this a top-selling book?
If I had $30, I'd make it a Dark Horse trifecta with Conan the Barbarian #13 (Dark Horse, $3.50). How does Brian Wood do it, finding such great artists that no one else knows about like Mirko Colak? This time, Conan tries to conquer the desert. Then I'd do a Marvel trifecta: Avengers #6 (Marvel, $3.99), Nova #1 (Marvel, $3.99) and Thor: God of Thunder #5 (Marvel, $3.99). Avengers has seemingly the origin of my formerly most favorite D-list hero in the Marvel Universe, Captain Universe – until she upgraded to the A-list as an Avenger. Then Nova has a spirited, seemingly kid-friendly romp by Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness. Then Thor … Thor. This thoroughly dark and mythic story has made Jason Aaron's beard even more ominous than before.
If I could splurge, I'd get Alter-Ego #115 (TwoMorrows, $8.95). Normally a magazine about comics, in this issue they collect some lost gems – namely the stereoscopic comics (3-D!) – of the 1950s. 3-D glasses included, this issue contains work by Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, Joe Kubert, Curt Swan (!!), George Tuska and more. Truly a highlight of the week.

Halloween is an odd holiday. The ostensible concept, as it has evolved to become, is to shock, startle, frighten, petrify, horrify, and/or terrify...all while consuming enough high fructose corn syrup to keep the American Dental Association content for another century or two.
Every year, as October 31 nears, loyal Americans eagerly squander a small fortune to adorn their humble abodes with Made-in-China images of tombstones, skulls, ghouls, goblins, monsters, zombies, and even the occasional bloody severed limb or two. While none of these cardboard depictions scare me as much as, say, the upcoming fifth installment of Stallone's "Rocky" series, I do believe there are plenty of real-life creatures that might warrant their own Halloween mask this year...and I'm not just talking about celluloid slashers.
Ghosts, to me, are not a bigger or more urgent concern than irreparable environmental damage, and I certainly lose less sleep over the dead rising from their graves to eat me than I do a planet populated with oppressed and starving humans.

Forget Freddie of Elm St., I give you Henry the Horrible (Kissinger, that
is): "Depopulation should be the highest priority of foreign policy towards
the Third World, because the U.S. economy will require large and increasing
amounts of minerals from abroad, especially from less developed countries."
Never mind Jason and his hockey mask when Ann Coulter is playing right wing: "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity."
No need to worry about a fire-breathing reptile like Godzilla when a Condoleezard is loose in DC: "There is nothing wrong with doing something that benefits all humanity, but that is, in a sense, a second-order effect."
And, let's face it, a nocturnal bloodsucker named Dracula is nothing compared to the Big Bad Bushes of Yale roaming the earth both day and night: Bush the Elder: "I will never apologize for the United States of America. I don't care what the facts are." Bush the Lesser: "Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people, and neither do we."
Of course, if none of those political poltergeist sends a chill down your ever-loving spine, you can chew on this factoid as you devour those Twizzlers, Bon Bons, and Almond Joys: For the first time in history, there are as many underweight people in the world as there are overweight people: 1.1 billion of each. (Running parallel to that troubling trend comes the reality that 100 million Americans-one-third the population-are either underinsured or uninsured when it comes to health care.) In other words...step away from the candy corn.
If you're still not quaking in your boots or pulling the covers over your head, let's take this hunt for horror global. Think about this as all those kids-in overpriced Barney costumes-come knocking on your door, expecting candy and more: Across the globe, an estimated 9,158 children under the age of 5 die from mostly preventable causes every single day. Cue the ominous music: 9,158 dead. Under the age of 5. Every single day. From mostly preventable causes.
The next time you're at a sporting event or a concert, take a good, slow look around you and get a feel for what 9,158 looks like. It's a whole lot more terrifying than the whir of a chainsaw echoing down a desolate Texas highway.

The Ridge of the Caps on the west side of Mt Jefferson (5,712) provides a challenging as spectacular ascent starting from the highest trailhead in the Presidential Range. The Caps Ridge Trail starts at Jefferson Notch on the Jefferson Notch Road, rises quickly from the forest to treeline, and then ascends the rocky and castellated Ridge of the Caps to the summit of Mt. Jefferson. Numerous trails from the summit area lead to other interesting destinations such as Edmands Col, Monticello Lawn, and even Mt. Clay.
Since this will be a fairly long day, we will start early and have breakfast at Mcdonalds or someplace enroute. We will also eat on the return trip.
Since we will be above treeline most of the trip, it is important to be prepared for severe weather, including the possibility of wind, cold, and rain. On the other hand, it could be lovely.
There is no water above treeline.
Book time for the Caps Ridge trail direct to Mt. Jefferson is 2:40 to cover 2.5 mi. Adding one of the planned loops will easily add an hour.

Answering a tricky question with the KStars desktop planetarium package
In an earlier phase of my life, I worked as a professional astronomer, and I've loved space and astronomy since before I could pronounce the words. So naturally, I've gotten a lot of personal pleasure from the free software astronomy tools that are included in my Debian GNU/Linux system. But ironically, I haven't written about them much. Recently, though, I was asked a question which I used KStars to answer, so this is a good chance to talk about how to use it.

Definition of utricle in English:
1A small cell, sac, or bladder-like protuberance in an animal or plant.
Example sentences
- Sauer consequently provided the name Amaranthus rudis for plants with a circumscissily dehiscent utricle and single, well developed sepal.
- Dehiscent fruits separate along the zone of dehiscence, the utricle cap (with the stigmas) falling free with the seed, the basal portion remaining on the inflorescence with attendant bracts and sepals.
- The analysis separates materials primarily based on bract to utricle length ratios and bract length followed by sepal number and utricle dehiscence.
1.1 (also utriculus /juːˈtrɪkjʊləs/) The larger of the two fluid-filled cavities forming part of the labyrinth of the inner ear (the other being the sacculus). It contains hair cells and otoliths which send signals to the brain concerning the orientation of the head.
Example sentences
- The neuromasts in the sacculus are apparently oriented oppositely from those in the utriculus.
- The receptor organ of posture and equilibrium is a composite one located in the semicircular canals, the utricle, and the saccule of the inner ear.
- The utricle can thus send signals to the brain representing a combination of fore - aft and lateral motion of the head, whereas the saccule principally conveys information about vertical motion.
- Example sentences
- Electrophysiological properties of the utricular primary transducer are modified during development under hypergravity.
- Thus, this project will help us to understand the early and long term effects of altered gravity on the function of its primary receptors, the utricular hair cells.
- The utricular and saccular maculae have similar structures.
Mid 18th century: from French utricule or Latin utriculus, diminutive of uter 'leather bag'.

AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The Augusta Economic Development Authority announced today that Starbucks Coffee Company (NASDAQ: SBUX), the world's premier roaster and retailer of specialty coffee, is planning to invest $172 million in its first Georgia manufacturing operation in Augusta. Starbucks expects to create more than 140 direct jobs, as well as hundreds of indirect jobs associated with construction, transportation, and supply chain activities.
The new Augusta plant, Starbucks fifth manufacturing facility in the United States, will be the company's first -owned and operated facility in the world to produce soluble products, such as its VIA® Ready Brew and ingredients for Frappuccino® and many of Starbucks ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages. Once fully operational, this manufacturing plant will prepare and package ingredients and finished products for most of the company's soluble-based beverages for all of North America and parts of Europe. The new, state-of-the-art facility is expected to offer employment opportunities in a range of highly-skilled positions.
"Starbucks has long believed that there is a strong relationship between our success and the strength and vitality of the communities in which we do business," said Howard Schultz, Starbucks chairman, president and CEO. "With an abundance of skilled workers, a great quality of life, convenient access to transportation that is critical to our business and strong support from local and state leaders, Augusta is an ideal location for our newest manufacturing facility in the U.S. We're proud to be expanding our connection with the Augusta community and to be creating American manufacturing jobs during such challenging economic times."
Henry Ingram, Chairman of the Augusta Economic Development Authority, said "The Augusta Economic Development Authority is proud to bring Starbucks Coffee Company to Augusta. With today's announcement, Starbucks joins an outstanding corporate community in Augusta and Richmond County as a major manufacturer of quality products. The jobs announced today and the jobs to be created in the months and years to come by Starbucks will have a major impact on our community. Starbucks and Augusta both represent quality, professionalism, responsibility and integrity. We are proud that Starbucks chose Augusta."
The Starbucks soluble products manufacturing operation will locate on 100 acres in the Augusta Corporate Park in Richmond County. Designed to be a 110,000 to 160,000 sq. ft., LEED® certified building, the plant will be capable of producing up to 4,000 metric tons annually. The company will also leverage Georgia's high-performing logistics infrastructure, and is expected to make significant use of the Georgia Ports Authority's Savannah operations. The Augusta facility is expected to open in January 2014, with construction to begin this spring. Starbucks will be the first tenant in the Augusta Corporate Park.
Governor Nathan Deal said, "Starbucks is a name recognized the world over, so it gives us an incredible sense of accomplishment knowing that Augusta, Georgia is now one of the places this great company calls home," Deal said. "Georgia is indeed glad to welcome such a successful brand to our community of food processing manufacturers,
and we look forward to a working partnership that creates opportunities for Starbucks future growth in Georgia."
Augusta Mayor Deke Copenhaver said, "Starbucks is one of the top three recognizable brand names in the world. They are a quality company that works in conjunction with their local communities in many areas of support, including the creation of high skilled jobs for a highly technical process. It is a great day in Augusta with the announcement that the new Starbucks manufacturing facility will be located at the Augusta Corporate Park."
Walter Sprouse, Executive Director of the Augusta Economic Development Authority said, "We have been excited for months and months about the possibility of Starbucks locating in Augusta, and today is the Announcement Day. We don't have to keep it quiet anymore. There were many people involved in the recruitment of Starbucks to Augusta, and we will recognize all those people and their organizations in the weeks to come. As for now, Starbucks is part of Augusta, and we are very excited."
The recruitment of Starbucks to Augusta was led by the Augusta Economic Development Authority and the Georgia Department of Economic Development (GDEcD). GDEcD Global Commerce division director Tom Croteau, AEDA's Sprouse, and Project Manager Robbie Bennett managed this business opportunity on behalf of the county and the state.

(WOMENSENEWS)--It's November so get ready for films targeted for the holidays and awards consideration.
Sandra Nettelbeck's "Last Love," opening Nov. 1, is deeply affecting. Written and directed by Nettelbeck, the film is based on Francoise Dorner's novel about a winter-spring friendship between a retired, recently widowed and very depressed American philosophy professor (Michael Caine) and a younger and lonely cha-cha teacher (Clémence Poésy). Against a background of scenic Paris sights, they get to know each other bit by bit, until he, in a moment of lingering despair, downs too many sleeping pills and winds up in the hospital. Arriving to attend to their father, the professor's son (Justin Kirk) and daughter (Gillian Anderson) want to know how his new companion fits into their family structure. The denouement is sweet and surprising, but no spoilers here. Caine and cast are superb, and issues about familial relationships, aging, grief and reconciliation are presented in a most loving and respectful way.
Also Opening Nov. 1
"Le Week-End" is a delightfully mature romcom in which an aging and rather melancholic British couple (Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan) return to Paris for their 30th wedding anniversary. He wants to rekindle l'amour; she's trying to figure out how to tell him she wants to call it quits. But circumstances escape from their usual routine and a chance encounter with an old colleague (Jeff Goldblum) guide them into a new realm of companionship and understanding with many endearing outbursts of humor. Duncan and Broadbent deliver superbly charming and subtle performances, enhancing the film's broadly comedic moments. Director Roger Michell deftly paces the film to give you time to recover between laughs.
"Diana," a biopic based on Kate Snell's "Diana: Her Last Love" (2001), focuses on the last years of Diana, Princess of Wales (Naomi Watts). It covers some of her public life and good works, but mostly focuses on her secret love affair with Pakistani heart surgeon Dr. Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews), the man with whom she was involved before Dodi Fayed. While Diana attracted media frenzy, Khan shunned the limelight. Despite laudable performances by Watts and Andrews, the film presents their doomed relationship as a sad series of tension-filled bouts of bickering, alternating with making up. It feels like a soap opera, not a real look at two enormously interesting characters.
"Musicwood" is a wonderful documentary about the vulnerability of guitar making to the global environmental crisis. Filmmaker Maxine Trump follows a trio of the world's best guitar-makers -- Chris Martin of Martin Guitars, Dave Berryman of Gibson Guitars and Bob Taylor of Taylor guitars – as they travel from their ateliers to the rainforest that's the source of the wood they use to make their instruments. There they try to persuade local Native American loggers to protect endangered trees and assure the future of the acoustic guitar. Negotiations are gripping. There's also a fascinating history of guitar making and yes, a soundtrack full of brilliant guitar playing. See and listen to this one!
"Casting By…" is a documentary tribute to casting director Marion Dougherty (1923-2011), who was the first woman to become vice president of a major Hollywood studio and who mentored many other women to work successfully as casting directors in an industry that tends to treat women as second-class citizens. Bette Midler, Glenn Close and a host of other stars thank Dougherty in the film for giving them their first break, and directors Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen and others praise her contributions to their films. But their appearances are topped by Dougherty's own, with insightful comments that chronicle Hollywood history. If you love movies, this one is a must-see.
"The Pervert's Guide to Ideology" is filmmaker Sophie Fiennes' follow-up to her entertaining "The Pervert's Guide to Cinema," a documentary collaboration with Slovene scholar and pop culture analyst Slavoj Zizek. In his appearances in the films, Zizek assails the subject of cinema – and, now, ideology – from a psychoanalytical point of view, explicating cultural symbols, deeply rooted in the human psyche, that recur in favored films. Whether seen together or without reference to one another, the films are intellectually stimulating and often quite funny. Despite the humor, it's quite clear that Zizek – and many of his highly credentialed academic colleagues – take his theories seriously. Whether you do, too, is up to you. But this intriguing commentary on popular culture deserves observing.
Opening Nov. 6
"A Case of You," directed by Kat Coiro, is a new twist on the online dating mistaken identity plot. A guy (Justin Long) who falls for a gal (Evan Rachel Rood), who looks right past him, resorts to Facebook to introduce himself. In so doing he embellishes his profile to present himself as her ideal date; a man whose likes and dislikes actually bear no resemblance to his own. When she falls for him, he's forced to sustain the pretense, or lose her forever. Where does the relationship go? See the film to find out. No startling insights, but it's cute, romantic and has plenty of social relevance.
Opening Nov. 8
In "Ass Backwards," co-scripters June Diane Raphael and Casey Wilson co-star as two oddball lifelong best friends who're driving across country to their hometown. There they plan to participate in – and win – the 50th anniversary reunion of the beauty pageant they'd lost when they were youngsters. The road trip is humorous, if a bit predictable, but you're bound to laugh at the two high-octane comediennes. Alicia Silverstone--playing their girlie nemesis--gives a sterling performance as the original pageant winner who's gone on to win in life and organize the reunion. I just wish they had a better vehicle to roll out their talents. "Ass Backward" isn't sufficiently smart to be a female take on "Dumb and Dumber" (in case one were even wanted). Nor does the film rise to the class and stature of "Thelma and Louise." But Raphael, Wilson and Silverstone are very funny ladies, and they're reason to see the film in theaters or on VOD.
"Go for Sisters," written and directed by John Sayles, is a female buddy drama about childhood best friends who reunite in adulthood after their lives have taken them down decidedly different paths. After years apart, Bernice (LisaGay Hamilton) and Fontayne (Yolonda Ross) wind up on opposite sides of a parole officer's desk. Bernice is the officer; Fontayne the parolee determined to kick her bad habits. When Bernice's son disappears into the dangerous morass of the Los Angeles-Tijuana drug and human trafficking scene, the two women unite to find him before he's killed by criminals or corrupt police. The women are strong and appealing characters, and the film is a good addition to Sayles' excellent filmography. Go see it.
"Reaching for the Moon" is a biopic about American Poet Laureate Elizabeth Bishop, played by Miranda Otto. The film focuses on Bishop's alternatingly ecstatic and miserable love affair with Brazilian architect Lota de Macedo Soares (Gloria Pires), who was at the same time involved with Mary Morse (Tracy Middendorf). The drama of their emotionally fraught and alcohol-imbued love triangle unfolds in the upper class glamour of 1950s Rio de Janeiro and its lush suburbs. This feverish scenario should be gripping, but the film is tepid, slow paced and stiffly stylish. Still, it's an intriguing view of an American literary heroine and the intricacies of her life and times. Based on Carmen L. Oliveira's "Rare and Commonplace Flowers" and scripted by Carolina Kotscho, Julie Sayres and Matthew Chapman.
Stay tuned for reviews of movies opening during the second half of November.
In addition to covering film for Women's eNews, Jennifer Merin writes about documentaries for About.com and is president of the Alliance of Women Film Journalists, a nonprofit organization of the leading female film journalists in the U.S. and Canada.

Getting to the Heart of the Matter
Medicines Save Lives and Money
07.01.13 | By John Castellani
We often discuss in the Catalyst the challenges and promise inherent in the drug discovery process and its impact on patients. And at times talk about how medicines, when used appropriately, can be a valuable part of the solution to controlling health care costs in the U.S. But we don't always do the best job of connecting the two.
PhRMA President and CEO John Castellani does make the connection in today's issue of pharmaphorum.
In an opinion piece entitled "Getting to the heart of the matter: medicines save lives and money," John discusses the exciting future of cardiovascular medicines from two perspectives: the hope that the 215 medicines in development for heart disease and stroke bring to future patients, and the potential for these therapies to eventually contribute to an accelerating body of evidence showing how medicines can lead to reduced spending on hospitalizations and surgeries for diseases such as congestive heart failure.
Please have a look at John's piece, and as always, we welcome your thoughts.

Jason Lively
Associate Professor of Communications and Chair, Department of Interactive Media & Web Design
Spellmann Center 4150
(636) 949-4696
Jason Dude Lively (Dr. Dude) has been teaching online in the Interactive Media & Web Design program for several years. He has a BBA in Computer Information Systems from Howard Payne University in Brownwood Texas; an MBA in Computer Information Systems from Tarleton State University in Stephenville Texas; an Educational Specialist degree from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale Florida; and a Ph.D. in Computing Technology in Education from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale Florida. Jason brings a plethora of life experiences related to Web Design and Interactive Media into the classroom. As a programmer and charter web master in the late 90's for a large computer manufacturing firm, he was able to garnish some early expertise in the area of web design and multimedia. Jason later served as a University webmaster for 4 years, and has continued to evolve in the field through active involvement in consulting work, research, and training. He serves as a consultant and as a freelance designer as a means of staying up on the demands of his field. First and foremost his focus is on students. Jason brings his educational background, experiences, and passion for learning into each of his classes.
Dr. Dude views teaching as an opportunity to empower students with the abilities and skills necessary to be successful. He strives to create an atmosphere that fosters learning while placing emphasis on the student's role in the educational process. Adopting a more student-centered learning approach, he utilizes constructivist methods of instruction that require students to become engaged with the course content. Dr. Dude believes that students must not only understand the content covered in a class, but that the student should be able to synthesize and then apply the content to real world situations. As a result of this philosophy, many of his assessment methods focus on the student's ability to analyze the course content, develop solutions to real work problems, and implement those solutions in a manner that demonstrates their cognitive engagement with the course material.
When developing a course, degree program, or class lecture; Jason is diligent in aligning his pedagogical decisions with his teaching philosophy. Hands-on projects and activities are used extensively in his courses. In addition to these types of activities, Jason utilizes a scoring method that encourages students to push beyond their comfort zone. By listing a set of criteria to which an assignment will be graded, but requiring additional elements beyond that list to achieve an "A", students are challenged to push their learning further in an area related to the subject matter but of a personal interest to them.
Dr. Dude's approach to advising easily correlates with his teaching philosophy. He expects the student to play a primary role in their advisement after their freshman year. Jason provides students with the information to make informed decisions regarding their degree plan. After a student has selected an ideal schedule, he checks for completion of prerequisites, conflicts, and other issues. Dr. Dude encourages students not to arrive for advising without putting some forethought into their upcoming schedule. He strives to keep the locus of control with the student. Jason wants the student to have ownership in their schedule and in their learning. In addition, He believes that advising extends beyond merely pointing a student to a set of classes that they will need to take. Advising students about career opportunities, available internships, resume preparation, and interviewing processes are also essential components of the process. One of the most important concepts that Dr. Dude hopes to impart on his students is that learning should be a life-long process. It is essential in this industry for individuals to take an active role in keeping up with the technology and trends that will have a direct impact on their careers. Jason commits to enhancing his didactic methods in an effort to create courses and instructional materials that reinforce his teaching philosophy.

If someone said all you had to do to make your department more efficient was to take photos of your community from the air, your first response would be, "What's the catch?"
There is a catch. Alone, aerial images won't make your road maintenance team work faster or your sewer mains stop backing up. But when combined with a geographic information system (GIS), accurate data collection, and sound asset-management practices, they can enhance communication internally and with constituents.
The first step in exploiting aerial digital images—collecting the images—can be done as often as needed, depending on how quickly a city is growing or changing.
The city of Mississauga, Ontario, has acquired aerial imagery at scales of 1:6000, 1:8000, or 1:10,000 every year since it was incorporated in 1975. Recognizing that up-to-date imagery is a valuable asset, the city of 660,000 added the cost of aerial photography into its operations budget more than 30 years ago, when its population was only 200,000.
"Flights are planned each spring, before full leaf coverage, to maximize the usefulness of the imagery for photogrammetric data collection," says David Marion, manager of geomatics with the city's Transportation and Works Department.
The cost of a new flight—with possible repeat flights in areas of high growth—should be leveraged between city departments, including public works, planning, and the assessor's office.
"If you leverage it across multiple departments, the return on investment is better," says Alex Philp, president of GCS Research, an imagery consultant firm in Missoula, Mont. Smaller cities can pool resources through state agencies and with each other to cut costs and obtain multipurpose imagery.
You also can buy images from the state or county, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a private image company, or a consultant who can help leverage the information with a geographic information system.
"I use it every day," says Brent Elam, P.E., utility engineer in Spotsylvania County, Va. "It helps me know how all the pieces fit together, end to end." He shares the information with elected officials, helping him make his point in discussions. He also shares it with the planning and information systems department, adding to his town's efficiency.
Return on investment is most apparent in the field, when technicians can access data immediately from a laptop or handheld device. Information extracted from the images also can verify as-built with planned development, or determine access to a property.

OAKLAND -- Yoenis Cespedes will be back to defend his title in the annual Home Run Derby at the All-Star Game. The event will take place July 14 in Minnesota, where the game is being played the next night.
Manager Bob Melvin said he had mixed feelings about Cespedes defending his title. Past participants have had their second-half production fall off, and blame has fallen on the number of swings participants take during the course of the event.
"You get nervous over the number of swings,'' he said. "But you're also happy they get to compete in it.''
Josh Donaldson said he has not yet heard if he'll be able to take part in the Home Run Derby. He'd like to, but his participation may depend on the health of other candidates.

Adorable in life, still attracting admirers in death: Knut the polar bear's hide has been mounted on a polyurethane body and is going on display in a Berlin museum. The Natural History Museum on Friday unveiled the statue prepared by taxidermists featuring the famous Berlin Zoo bear's fur and claws, with the synthetic body and glass eyes. Knut was hand-raised after his mother rejected him. He rose to stardom in 2007 as a cuddly cub, appearing on magazine covers, in a film and on mountains of merchandise.

Missouri lawmakers have approved the renewal of a program that helps avoid job layoffs by subsidizing employers to keep people on the payroll in a part-time capacity.
The bill, SB 844, given final approval Friday would put Missouri in line with new federal requirements for the shared-work unemployment program.
Under the program, businesses can agree to reduce the hours that employees work instead of laying them off, and the employees then can receive a reduced amount of unemployment benefits.
The state labor department says 372 businesses participated in the program during the 2013 fiscal year, affecting nearly 30,000 workers.
Missouri's program will end in August if it no longer matches federal law.
The state could get an additional $2.5 million in federal funds by bringing the program into federal compliance.

OAKLAND -- Since Josh Donaldson's lengthy offensive struggles began in Baltimore six weeks ago with the Manny Machado series, Friday night's walk-off homer against the Orioles might have brought him full circle.
With the A's down by two runs in the ninth, Donaldson tied into the first pitch he saw from Orioles lefty Zach Britton and crushed a three-run homer, good for a 5-4 victory to start the second half of the season.
There was more than a little irony in the fact that the O's were in front because Machado, who took Donaldson's tag on June 6 and turned it into a cause célèbre, had hit the two-run homer that had Baltimore perched for a win.
"I try not to think about anything like that," Donaldson said of the benches-clearing incident of six weeks past. "It's just one of those things where tonight we're out there doing what we need to do. We don't need other extracurricular stuff."
So what did he think about? The way his average, at .280 the last time he saw the Orioles, was now under .240? The way hitting the ball hard in recent weeks wasn't producing results? Nope. He said he made it simpler than that.
He was facing Britton, a lefty with as good a sinker as any southpaw in the game today. With men on first and third and the A's down two, Donaldson said the situation spoke for itself. Double plays need not apply.
"He gets lots of double plays," he said of Britton. "I don't necessarily want to change my swing. I was thinking how to overcome that (sinker). I was trying to allow the ball to get there and hit the ball where it's going to go up and not something that's going to be a low line drive or a ground ball."
Britton came across with a first-pitch strike, a ball on the inside half of the plate and down. It went up. It kept rising and cleared the center field fence.
"It could have been a double play," Donaldson said. "But that's also where my power is."
It was his 21st homer.
For 2 hours, 29 minutes, this game had been all drama. For the last 60 seconds or so, it turned into Rio at Carnival. Donaldson circled the bases, then went into the A's tunnel with players lining both sides of the third base line to usher him home. After that it was time to get a pie in the face and get bathed in the residue of the Gatorade bucket.
The Coliseum crowd went just a little nuts. Where the booing of Machado had been the sound du jour, it was replaced by the decades-old rhythms of "Celebration" from Kool and the Gang.
It's a scenario not unknown to the A's. They have seven walk-off wins this season, two of them courtesy of Donaldson. Oakland, the first team to 60 wins in the big leagues this season, got its groove back with one swing.
It's been a weird week for Donaldson, a first-time All-Star whose biggest surprise about going to join the best of the best was "how little free time I'd have." He took part in the Home Run Derby, losing a "swing-off" to teammate Yoenis Cespedes in being eliminated from the competition after hitting just four homers and taking just 14 swings.
He'd been warned that the derby can wreck a guy's swing, "but maybe I didn't have enough swings."
Donaldson said being in the derby helped to keep him working on refining his swing, and it paid off in the bottom of the ninth, a time when manager Bob Melvin said "he likes those kinds of situations."
Baltimore (Wei-Yin Chen 9-3) at A's (Jason Hammel 8-6), 6:05 p.m. CSNCA

As part of special training on domestic violence, Lauderdale County deputies learned about a new law in Mississippi. Under the old law, all parties involved in a domestic dispute could be arrested when officers responded to a call. Under the new law officers must arrest only the "PRIMARY" aggressor. This comes as a welcomed change to victims' advocates such as Leslie Payne with the Care Lodge.
"That way the victim is not victimized in the process," said Payne.
Although good, local law enforcement officials say more changes are needed. As it stands, a third domestic violence conviction is considered a felony. This means it carries tougher penalties. However, law enforcement officials say too often, those charges don't make it to that point.
"For whatever reason, the charge is amended," said Sheriff Billy Sollie of Lauderdale County. "The charge never reaches that third time."
"They know if they do that six months, that's it," said Chief Deputy Mike Mitchell of Lauderdale County. "If they can keep clean that six months they can do it again."
Attorney Kenny Griffis, a candidate for the third district of the Mississippi Court of Appeals, said the solution is consistency within the court system.
"We need proper adjudication of cases," said Griffis. "Make sure the punishments are fair and can be enforced. The accused have a right to a fair trial, but we as judges can't lose sight that the victim's have rights too."
Meanwhile, Care Lodge officials say the key to curbing domestic violence is punishment.
"I have worked in this field ten years," said Payne. "Batterers don't change."
To find out more about the Care Lodge, call <(601) 693-HOPE.

"Adorable card, just the right touch of whimsy, but the colors and design are simple enough that it doesn't overwhelm you. Just a beautiful, really sweet card."
"Too late for Christmas cards this, year, so we went with a "happy new year" theme and this was a great choice. Cheered it up a bit by changing the main greeting from blue to yellow. Photo reproduction on the printed version faithfully matched the online version. Nice work, Tiny Prints!"
"I am very happy with the quality and delivery of these holiday cards. Everyone loved them. Thank you also for making them affordable to all."
"I was very happy with the quality of these cards...very nice!! The red was not a very deep red, but still very beautiful."
"I was so pleased with these Christmas cards! They are very high quality and look just how I hoped! Shipping was speedy, too!"

Fans of the "Twilight Saga" can breathe a sigh of relief.
I just got back from a Wednesday night screening of "Breaking Dawn -- Part 2" and can unequivocally say you're in for a real treat. While my full review of the film won't post until Thursday morning, here's a little something to tide you over -- answers to a few questions about the eagerly anticipated finale.
Is it the best 'Twilight' yet? Without a doubt. Director Bill Condon and screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg strike the perfect "Twilight" tone, playing up the campy humor while turning up the erotic heat on the romance.
Are there surprises? A couple, and even if you're a huge fan of Stephenie Meyer's books you'll be astonished by how well they work. But be wary of spoilers since the tweaks are certain to turn into a hot social networking topic.
Who gives the best performance of the trio? Robert Pattinson. He's swoon-worthy, and has consistently been the strongest. But don't dismiss Kristen Stewart. She's impressive here as a tougher, more confident Bella. Even Taylor Lautner shows improvement. It helps that he's given some funny material.
Speaking of Lautner, does he keep his shirt on? Most of the time...However.
Will the movie appeal to non-fans? I expect so. This is a highly entertaining, suspenseful finale that satisfies on many levels.

- Tesla's stock dips after negative review of its Model S sedan
In the wake of reporter John Broder's unflattering and highly controversial account of an East Coast road trip in Tesla's Model S sedan, the car maker's CEO, Elon Musk, demanded that The New York Times "please investigate this article and determine the truth."
Margaret Sullivan, the newspaper's public editor, has done just that.
After reading hundreds of passionate emails from Tesla enthusiasts and speaking with Broder, Musk, two Tesla employees, other journalists, an involved tow-truck driver, his dispatcher and a Model S owner, Sullivan weighed in Monday.
Her piece, titled "Problems With Precision and Judgment, but Not Integrity, in Tesla Test" appeared on the Times' website. In the piece, Sullivan quotes extensively from a reader who took Broder to task for failing to read the owner's manual and neglecting to plug the vehicle in overnight.
Sullivan cleared Broder of any attempt to purposely sabotage the test drive, undertaken to experience Tesla's new Supercharger stations. Broder wrote that the all-electric Model S lost range faster than expected and ran out of power, forcing him to call a tow truck that rescued him from a Connecticut exit ramp.
"I am convinced that he took on the test drive in good faith, and told the story as he experienced it," wrote Sullivan of Broder. "Did he use good judgment along the way? Not especially. In particular, decisions he made at a crucial juncture -- when he recharged the Model S in Norwich, Conn., a stop forced by the unexpected loss of charge overnight -- were certainly instrumental in this saga's high-drama ending."
Sullivan said that Broder, a veteran journalist, took "what seems to be casual and imprecise notes along the journey" and said Broder was unaware that Tesla has the ability to remotely monitor things like cabin temperature, state of charge and cruise control.
"A little red notebook in the front seat is no match for digitally recorded driving logs, which Mr. Musk has used, in the most damaging (and sometimes quite misleading) ways possible, as he defended his vehicle's reputation," wrote Sullivan. "I could recite chapter and verse of the test drive, the decisions made along the way, the cabin temperature of the car, the cruise control setting and so on. I don't think that's useful here. People will go on contesting these points -- and insisting that they know what they prove -- and that's understandable. In the matter of the Tesla Model S and its now infamous test drive, there is still plenty to argue about and few conclusions that are unassailable."
Tesla spokeswoman Shanna Hendriks could not be reached for comment Monday.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - On Saturday, Nov. 17, Project MANA will help hundreds of local families have a happy, healthy Thanksgiving through its annual Let's Talk Turkey Food Distribution. With the help of dozens of social service agencies, schools and churches throughout North Lake Tahoe and Truckee, Project MANA is working to identify as many community members as possible who need assistance to provide a Thanksgiving meal for their families.

This year, given the continued economic downturn, Project MANA expects to serve that many families, if not more. Thanks to generous donations from the community, each community member who signs up and attends the distribution will be able to bring home a whole turkey, fresh produce and other fixings for a holiday meal. For $25 you can sponsor a local family's Thanksgiving meal.
Let's Talk Turkey Food Distributions will be held at the following three locations, Nov. 17, 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
Kings Beach: Kings Beach Elementary School at 8125 Steelhead Ave.
Incline Village: Donald W. Reynolds Community Nonprofit Center at 948 Incline Way
Truckee: Community Arts Center at 10046 Church St.
To sign up yourself or someone you know to receive a turkey, contact schools, churches, or social service agencies. To volunteer for Let's Talk Turkey Food Distribution or to make a donation, contact Project MANA at 775-298-0008 or visit www.projectmana.org.

The skill range for these patterns is intermediate to expert, with only three patterns at the Very Easy, Very Vogue level.
Getting with the Times
My one peeve with most knitting books today holds true for this one as well. At the end of the book, you'll find a two-page list of yarn company names and addresses.
