It's that time of year again. Last year's review seemed to have been fun, so we thought we would do it again!
So, joining us this year around the SFFWorld Christmas tree are Aidan (from A Dribble of Ink), Pat (from Pat's Fantasy Hotlist), Graeme (Deornoth), andKen (known as kcf) as well as Rob and myself.
In this final round-up for 2008, we look at the genre films and the television we watched and what's ahead for 2009.
Until next year!
Mark / Hobbit
4. Film
Lots of genre films this year: Which were worthy of your attention? Which is your personal favourite?
Rob: The Dark Knight, obviously. The second biggest movie of all time touched on a lot of genres and was embraced by nearly everybody who saw it. Iron Man was a very pleasant surprise but Quantum of Solace while good was a bit of a let down after Casino Royale. Dr. Horrible deserves mention somewhere, so this is as good a place as any.
Aidan: Wall-E. Easily the best SF film of the year, possibly one of the best films of the year, period. The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian was fantastic as well, if not quite as strong as the first movie.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull was a good way to kill two hours while on a plane, but it completely lost me at the end when it more or less jumped the shark completely.
Ken: Ha! With a 14 month-old son, I have no time for things like movies (though net flix helps a bit).
Mark / Hobbit: There were so many genre releases this summer, wasn't there? Shouldn't really complain, then.
Dark Knight is clearly my favourite. I wasn't sure about the casting before I saw the movie but was very pleased to be shown I was wrong. Heath Ledger's sad death may have overshadowed the film, and I think it is important that the two events are kept separate, but I thought the film was a terrific example of a team effort.
Iron Man is my second favourite film of the year, which was much better than I thought it would be, due to a charismatic lead character played by Robert Downey Jr.
I seemed to like The Hulk a lot more than most, mainly helped by Edward Norton's performance as Bruce Banner. I must admit though, that, as a comic character, I've always found The Hulk a bit limited.
And perhaps not a film, as such, but I did enjoy Doctor Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. And I wouldn't say I was a big musical fan, normally!
We thought last year that a sequel be too much of a good thing. Same this year?
Rob: See The Dark Knight.
Aidan: Eh, when it comes to Hollywood and sequels, I'll almost always take a pass. One of the reasons I think that Pixar is so successful year after year is that they always more on to something new, rarely focusing on sequels, and that keeps the creative juices flowing.
Mark / Hobbit: Well, I guess The Hulk is a sequel, of sorts. What I quite liked this year was not so much the sequels, but the links between movies: the Hulk/Iron Man link, which may (or may not!) lead to a film about the Avengers. Not a sequel, but a nice connection.
Prince Caspian was not bad, though less of a surprise than the first.
Similarly, I thought Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull wasn't bad, though there were still the usual odd lapses I often find in Lucas-related films that made me groan. (Nuclear survival? In a fridge? How do you get out of the fridge after?)
I still would like to see more original SF/Fantasy films, but have yet to see it happen!
The Writer's strike seems to have made some interesting changes this year. Has it generally been for the better or the worse? Some series this year seem to have gone from strength to strength: others clearly peaked. Agree?
Rob: Heroes has really tanked, it has lost focus and lost everything that made it so good the first season and half. Lost returned to form in a big way and we are all waiting for Battlestar Galactica to return next year. The first half of its final season this year made for some really good television, as did Doctor Who.
Ken: Beyond sports and The Daily Show, I don't really watch TV.
Mark / Hobbit: Heroes Series 3 has been OK, but I agree with a lot of the comments made around the Forums that it has lost its way: there a lot of inconsistencies. Kudos to the BBC though, for showing it no more than a week or so after the US viewing: it has meant I can follow the forum discussions more this time around!
However, again, the usual cry: lots of old stuff redone (and Day of the Triffids soon) but I would desperately like to see new original stuff of quality.
Favourites in 2008?
Rob: Lost and Battlestar are the two most blatant genre shows I enjoyed, though a few on the edge of genre were terrific, too. Criminal Minds is probably my favourite show, though its genre ties are tangential at best but it functions really well in the mystery genre. Big Bang Theory is a funny show with tangible geek sensibilities (the characters reference comics, Star Trek, or Battlestar Galactica at least once per episode and the four protagonists bought a Time Machine) even if it doesn't have any SFnal trappings.
Aidan: Lost, always and forever.
Mark / Hobbit: Battlestar Galactica has been my favourite of the year, by a mile. Of the home-grown stuff, Doctor Who is the favourite here, though I still have misgivings. Torchwood was…still Torchwood. There has been an interesting revival of things "Terry Nation" here in the UK, with the Daleks, of course, but also Survivors being re-imagined (OK, but still variable, and I still prefer the original). In a 1980's vibe, Ashes to Ashes was OK.
What do you wish you'd started watching this year?
Rob: Nothing really, I watch too much as it is.
Aidan: Eh, on the SFF front there isn't a whole lot. Legend of the Seeker looks so awful that I haven't even bothered to download and episode and Heroes sounds like it's continuing its downward spiral.
Outside of the genre, I've recently discovered How I Met Your Mother and have devoured everything I've been able to get my hands on.
I think what's most worth talking about isn't even on the TV. Web Shows like Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog (notice the Neil Patrick Harris trend?) and The Guild (now with the Felicia Day trend), are both fantastic examples of what the medium can do and for free. Check both of them out, you won't be disappointed.
Mark / Hobbit: Nothing really. There's a few of the US series that haven't appeared in the UK (yet) but I suspect they'll appear soon. In a non-genre related moment, I do have a DVD set of the first four seasons of The Wire I'm hoping to get to this year, but they've been sitting there for a few months already. Joe Abercrombie likes them.
6. Personal Highlights of the year 2008?
Aidan: That's easy for me. Neil Gaiman linking to my blog.
Anyone's whose read my blog knows how much I look up to Gaiman and put him on the same pedestal as The Smoke Monster from Lost, Jaime Lannister, Roberto Luongo and Neil Patrick Harris in terms of awesomeness. To know that he spent even just a little bit of time reading my blog still makes me giddy.
On a personal note, I spent two months travelling through Eastern and Central Europe and it was an absolute dream. It's such an overlooked part of the world, and it's a shame that more people won't discover the beautiful landscapes and the amazing people that persevered through so much hardship and came out the other end so graciously.
Graeme: It's been all about meeting authors (and Hobbit!) this year with books signed by Steven Erikson, James Barclay and Richard Morgan. Hobbit didn't sign anything but was really great to meet anyway! :o) I also took the plunge and submitted one of my short stories for the first time ever, it was rejected but it came back with loads of really useful feedback, which can only make it better.
Mark / Hobbit: Interviewing James Barclay at FantasyCon was a real treat, as was FantasyCon, really. Think we set the world straight. *grins*
And Alt.Fiction still continues to be a convention gem.
Apart from that, just being here at SFFWorld is a continuous highlight. Speaking/typing to bloggers, writers and readers still has that great vibe.
[EDIT: And thank you, Graeme for that comment above…]
With that in mind, being involved in the Wonderlands Blog site and the Gemmell Awards (in a very small way) have also been a lot of fun.
7. What would you like Santa to bring you this year?
Rob: I get more than enough reading material under my Reviewer responsibilities here at SFFWorld.
Aidan: The big thing on my list this year is Alan Moore's Watchmen graphic novel. I've put it off for way too long and after reading The Walking Dead, I've got an itch for a good story in that medium.
Graeme: Not having a TV licence means that I'm always after more DVDs to watch instead and hopefully Santa will cough up the goods! I'm running out of space in the house so I'm restricting myself to just hoping for Doctor Who DVDs this year…
Ken: Enough money to retire.
Mark / Hobbit: I know that Santa has brought me a Sony Book Reader: so I'm looking forward to using that.
8. 2009… What are you most looking forward to?
Rob: A Dance with Dragons
Finally catching up with The Dresden Files
A Dance with Dragons
The Wise Man's Fear by Patrick Rothfuss
Wings of Wrath by CS Friedman (the sequel to her criminally overlooked Feast of Souls from 2007)
A Dance with Dragons
Drood by Dan Simmons (this might be cheating because I have the ARC, but haven't read it yet)
A Dance with Dragons
The City and the City by China Mieville
Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie
A Dance with Dragons
City Without End by Kay Kenyon
A Dance with Dragons
Aidan: We'd be here all bloody night if I listed everything, so how about three from the top of my head:
Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie.
El Juego del Angel by Carlos Ruiz Zafan
The Monarchies of God omnibus by Paul Kearney.
Graeme: I still haven't read Erikson's Toll the Hounds (yet) but Dust of Dreams is due for release next year and I always look forward to a new Erikson novel! While there's nothing confirmed (that I'm aware of) for GRRM's A Dance with Dragons, I'm remaining optimistic that 2009 will be the year I get the book in my hands! David Anthony Durham's sequel to Acacia is another that I'll be keeping an eye open for as is Mike Carey's Thicker than Water. As far as films go, look for me queuing outside my local cinema for Watchmen and having just heard rumours of a new Romero zombie film I'm eager to see how that one turns out as well…
Ken: 2009 should be a great year with new books from some of my favourite authors.
I've got my eye out for new books from Patrick Rothfuss, Scott Lynch, and as always, Steve Erikson among others.
But, the one I'm looking forward to most is conclusion to the Wheel of Time with Sanderson's release of A Memory of Light, even though it's now looking like it'll be two books.
And to leave with a bit of a teaser, one of my favourite reads of this year is R. Scott Bakker's The Judging Eye, a 2009 book. The Judging Eye is more accessible to the average reader without sacrificing the depth that gained Bakker so much acclaim. A powerful start to a new trilogy.
Mark / Hobbit: I suspect many of these will have been mentioned already.
However, three heads up from me already: Jasper Kent's Twelve (due in January 2009) is a goodie for me, (and already reviewed HERE), as is Mike Cobley's Seeds of Earth, which is a rip-roaring space opera in a Peter Hamilton style, which I think will do very well (review pending.) Similarly, Stephen Deas's Adamantine Palace (review HERE) is a great dragon book.
Talking of dragons, I'm really looking forward to The Cardinal's Blades by Pierre Pevel, which sounds like The Three Musketeers with dragons. And I can't be the only one waiting for the possible release in 2009 of Dance with Dragons.
Away from dragons, there's the also-possible publication of Rothfuss's Wise Man's Fear, and the pretty-definite release of Joe Abercrombie's Best Served Cold. I am also impatiently waiting my copy of Dan Simmons' Drood, due any day now.
Peter V Brett's Desert Spear will also be worth a look; it'll be interesting to see if he can improve on the very enjoyable first, The Painted/WardedMan. Warded Man is due out in the US this year. I think some here may like it a lot.
Mark Charan Newton's Nights of Villjamur should be a good one too. Mark's been bending my ear (nicely) for over a year now about it, and it sounds fantastic.
But often the great thing about this business is when you open a book not knowing what to expect, I'm still finding unexpected surprises that way. It is perhaps those I'm looking forward to the most!

The President flew in from Indonesia and was in the stands for Sunday afternoon's 1-0 victory over Torino.
"I am very happy, because I think that I will continue to be a part of Inter," Zanetti told journalists at a charity event.
"I never had any doubts about that, as there has always been absolute clarity with the President.
"The most important thing is that this marriage will continue."
However, it is not certain Zanetti will remain as a player beyond the end of his current contract in June.
It is reported he'll hang up his boots and become part of the club or coaching staff instead.
Zanetti will turn 41 in August and arrived at San Siro in 1995.
"Zanetti is a great player. I want him to focus on the season, and he agrees. There are only three months left, then after this season he can join the family," said Thohir today.

Back to the Islamic Center
December 14th, 2010
Just when you thought (hoped?) the issue of the erroneously tagged Ground Zero mosque had gone away, Judicial Watch has filed a petition in state Supreme Court seeking the release of all communication between Mayor Michael Bloomberg and the leader of the proposed Islamic center and other Muslim groups.
According to Talking Posts Memo, Judicial Watch had requested the records under New York's Freedom of Information Law in August. The group says the mayor's office acknowledged the request, said it would respond within 20 days — but never did (something that, whatever the merits of this case is not exactly unprecedented). Contacted by TPM, the mayor's office would not comment.
Bloomberg has repeatedly spoken out in favor of the center's right to build near Ground Zero. In a press release, Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said, "Mayor Bloomberg's support for the Ground Zero mosque needs to be fully explored. New Yorkers are going to want to know how closely he's working with the radicals supporting the Ground Zero mosque. … What is the mayor's office hiding?"
The release also repeats allegations — unsubstantiated and largely refuted — linking the center's organizers to radical Islamic extremism and the financing of terrorism. Judicial Watch identifies itself as "a conservative non-partisan educational foundation" that among other things "seeks to ensure that political and judicial officials do not abuse the powers entrusted to them by the American people."
Lately, according to TPM, the group has focused a lot on alleged link between U.S. officials it does not like and Islam. Its founder reportedly has accused President Barack Obama of being on a "political jihad promoting Islam around the world."By Gail Robinson on December 14, 2010, 2:09 pm

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
LivoBooks has partnered with DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Consumer Products to launch Superman and Bizarro Save the Planet, an interactive storybook app that allows young readers — OK, probably a few older ones as well — to control the adventure.
Judging from the accompanying images and video, the app will likely hold some appeal for fans nostalgic for the classic Man of Steel, complete with red trunks. As the title suggests, the story brings together Superman and Bizarro (plus Krypto) for an unlikely team-up against a perhaps equally unlikely foe, one-time Justice League International villain Manga Khan. who's … traveling the universe stealing famous artifacts.
The premise may be a bit offbeat, but the app, as depicted in the video below, seems kind of fun, even if the motion comic-style animation isn't particularly thrilling. Drag-and-play interactive elements allow readers to direct the story, selecting whether, say, Bizarro or Superman uses his powers against a threat.
The free version of the app includes the first part of the story and a photo page; the version with the complete story and all the bells and whistles costs $3.99. It's available on iTunes and Google Play.
I wonder why they felt the need to team up Superman up with Bizzaro?
Ha! Love seeing Manga Khan and L*Ron being used for something. I'm afraid they're a little too light hearted to fit into DC's current universe of comics…
Hmmm… Superman's wearing the red trunks in this app. You know… the good costume. Anyway, the app looks pretty fun.
(I'm out of the loop, but has Bizarro showed up in the New 52? Is he styling the same body armor, or is he wearing the classic look? Because either option is weird.)
Bizarro did show up, he wore the t-shirt from Superman's first costume in New 52 Action Comics and the pants and boots of the New 52 armor.
Manga Khan always had potential. Take away the melodramatic lines and slapstick humor and you have a cosmic crime boss who basically is into interstellar trading, smuggling and trafficking. One who actually had the gall to try and barter with Darkseid! He's already one of Lobo's best clients.

Skip to comments.BEER!
Posted on 06/30/2013 12:41:05 PM PDT by Sen Jack S. Fogbound
90% of domestic beer sold in the US is made by two companies: Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors.
Two companies, Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors, are responsible for selling more than 90% of the beer in the US. Americans consume about 6.3 billion gallons (23.85 billion liters) of beer per year and spend an estimated $200 billion US Dollars per year on beer. Anheuser-Busch InBev produced three of the top-five selling beers in the US in 2011, and MillerCoors produced the other two. In 2011, small, independent craft breweries accounted for about 6% of all beer sales in the US, up from roughly 1% 15 years earlier, and that percentage was projected to keep rising.
My current favorite:
I think every person of age should have a "beerigation" system of their own.
Bud and Coors? I thought the article was about beer.
Sam Adams' Summer Ale.
90% of all hamburgers consumed come from McDonalds and Burger King too, which is also a very sad statement.
Fortunately there are hundreds of good quality beers in the marketplace so the 10% of us that know better have plenty of choices.
Ditto that.
left anheuser in my rear view mirror years ago...of late, have developed a fondness for Sam Adams in their various flavors.
recently obtained a home brew kit, and bottled my first batch yesterday...a summer ale. all went well, and two weeks out, I should have some home brew. Then, on to a different recipe.
Then you should be on the Beer Thirty ping list!
Why drink Miller or Bush when there is much better tasting beers like these avalable?
And home brew.
Shiner Bock
Rogue Ales has some excellent brews and now they are into spirits as well. I haven't tasted them yet, though...
Both companies are foreign owned. But I do not care.
mmmmmmmm, Yuengling black and tan.
Bud on tap is a great beer imo.
Many of the craft beers are about lots of sugar.
They are also pretty spendy. $10 a 6 pack or more is too much for my wallet to handle except as an occasional treat or for research purposes, which brings us to home brewing. I can make brews every bit as good or better, including clones of originals, for about 1/3 the cost of heavily taxed retail prices.
Screw the government! Home brew!
I bottled up 52 bottles of spiced wheat last night and am just about to whip up an IPA. Good times!
Some people prefer Bud and Coors for the taste and or the price. I prefer Bud Light or regular Bud. I only drink with beer snobs accidentally. I'm considered a beer snob by my friends who drink Milwaukee's Best.
For those who don't know, beer snobs are those individuals who regard any beer that they do not drink as piss. Beer snobs are contemptuously dismissive of any beer that a mortal cannot walk across like Jesus Christ did across the water.
Beer snobs are tedious bores, assuming that any beer which doesn't meet their definition of "adequately pretentious" is drunk out of ignorance.
Most of the above is cut and pasted from Urban Dictionary. I had no idea there was such a definition out there. It came up when I googled Beer Cconnoisseur.
Let's all toast to everyone being okay with everyone else's choice of beer (hat tip to those who brew their own). Bottoms up!
Most of the local beers disappeared over the years. Think "Rolling Rock" from Latrobe, PA.
Bud Light is a good ADS (Alcohol Delivery System), but that's about it.
Beer is proof that G-d loves man!
You forgot to read the line about the toast.
I would drink warm 3.2 miller light...in the morning...the one that was under the boat seat all summer and has a dried minnow stuck to it....and like it!
I can get Rolling Rock for $2.50/bottle at my watering-hole. Who bought it out?
Actually most of what it says is about the power of contracting work out. Most of the beers AB/InBev brew are NOT "their" beers, but microbrews. AB was brewing InBev stuff before the buy out. Heck in the early days they brewed your namesake's beers. It's a great way to leapfrog the distribution process, you come up with the recipe, you pay them to brew and distribute it, you don't have to make your own large brewery or distribution system. Most of those hundreds of good quality beers you're buying were brewed by the big dogs under contract.
Yuengling Lord Chessterfield
Chessterfield = Chesterfield
Duff Beer-Drinkers' Solidarity Thread!
You're 0 for 2. Maybe do a little research before commenting on things like this.
sounds Racist !
No "beer snob" here. I do enjoy my High Life, "it makes me a jolly good fellow"
The first statement was an opinion, not right or wrong.
Just checked Sam Adams, for example, on their website, 175 calories/12 oz.
That is 25 more than a coke.
Anchor Steam!!
Kind of a silly comparison. Most beers have just four ingredients: Barley, hops, yeast and water. Can't get much more pure than that. Soda pop has enough chemicals to eat through rust and is just plain toxic to the body. I've never had soda pop in the house and told my kids I'd rather have them crack a can of beer then a can of soda pop.
Yuengling! Yes - The Porter and Black and Tan, especially. One of the nice things about living in the blue Northeast....
While I no longer drink alcohol I always thought the best beer I ever drank was the original Czech Budweiser, Budvar. It's sold in the US as Czechvar.
Two companies, Anheuser-Busch InBev and MillerCoors, are responsible for selling more than 90% of the beer in the US.
Those two statements can't both be true.
Malting the grain , (usually barley but can be corn, wheat, oats, rice etc.) turns the starch into sugar, fyi.
Yuengling Premium's my favorite.
Hefeweizen homebrewed is the *best*!
True, but it's better than that high fructose corn syrup that goes into soda pop.
BTW, Bud smells like creamed corn to me. That's cuz they use corn as an extender.
Beer snobs are tedious bores, assuming that any beer which doesnt meet their definition of adequately pretentious is drunk out of ignorance
I'm good with that! People that can't be bothered to educate themselves on what makes a good beer vs. Macrobrews deserve nothing less.
And, yes, I'm serious.

Lisle, Illinois~An aging population and the burdens of diseases, urbanization, industrialization and globalization have stretched the ability of officials in China to respond to public health emergencies.
In a report released in 2009, the Chinese government recognized some of the problems it faces, including the gap between the development of China's health care sector and people's health demands, service level inequities between urban and rural areas, unreasonable resource allocation, an incomplete medical insurance system and insufficient investment in health.
Producing health care professionals able to help China meet its growing public health concerns is one goal of a partnership between Dalian Medical University (DMU) in Dalian, Liaoning province, China, and Benedictine University to offer Benedictine's Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) program in China.
Benedictine and DMU recently received permission from the Ministry of Education (MOE) in China to make the M.P.H. program available there. Earlier, Benedictine received permission from the Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools to offer the M.P.H. program in China.
"Benedictine and DMU have collaborated for the past year on the application to the MOE, and we were thrilled to receive this approval," said Elsie Yuan, executive director of International Programs and Services at Benedictine. "The MOE accepts new program applications twice a year, and all applications undergo an extremely careful and complicated selection process.
"Each application or proposed program must pass numerous levels of internal and external expert examinations and reviews, and obtain many approvals from provincial to national levels," she added. "Proposed programs must meet the needs of the development of China's educational cause, and only high-quality foreign educational programs are considered."
The Benedictine M.P.H. program, the second largest in Illinois, is built on a base of core courses that teach the foundations of the public health processes. Each course has a conceptual, factual and skill base. Students learn the disciplines by attaining the knowledge and skills to perform professional functions.
Benedictine's M.P.H. can be applied in a variety of settings, including: administration of private health organizations, social service or public health agencies; managing, planning and evaluating community or workplace health promotion programs; working on cancer surveillance or in the pharmaceutical industry; and current and future health positions in medicine, nursing, dentistry or pharmacy.
Benedictine and DMU received permission to recruit 80 students per year from 2012 to 2016. The program is approved through 2018.
DMU is a multi-disciplinary medical university which also offers programs in other fields like arts, science, management and law on two campuses with an enrollment of more than 10,000 students. Dalian is a major city and seaport of 6 million people in Northeast China.
Benedictine and its partner universities in China seek to provide students with the skills and knowledge that will help create a new era of understanding and cooperation.
Benedictine University is an independent Roman Catholic institution located in Lisle, Illinois just 25 miles west of Chicago, and has branch campuses in Springfield, Illinois and Mesa, Arizona. Founded in 1887, Benedictine provides 55 undergraduate majors and 15 graduate and four doctoral programs. Benedictine University is ranked No. 1 among the country's fastest-growing campuses between 2002-2012 in The Chronicle of Higher Education's list of private nonprofit doctoral institutions, and Forbes magazine named Benedictine among "America's Top Colleges" for the fourth consecutive year in 2014. Benedictine University's Master of Business Administration (M.B.A.) program is listed by Crain's Chicago Business as the sixth largest in the Chicago area in 2014.

Chief Patrick M. Gannon
Patrick M. Gannon was appointed to the position of Chief of Airport Police at Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA) on November 26, 2012. In this position he is responsible for law enforcement and security at Los Angeles International (LAX), LA/Ontario International (ONT) and Van Nuys (VNY) general aviation airports, as well as LAWA's aviation-related property in Palmdale.
As Chief of Airport Police, he leads the Nation's premier aviation law enforcement agency with over 1,100 specially trained police officers, security officers, and civilian staff protecting Los Angeles International, Ontario International, and Van Nuys airports. Airport Police officers and civilian security officers are assigned to a wide range of law enforcement and security functions, including police patrols, explosives detection, access control, counterterrorism, infrastructure protection and tactical response.
The Office of the Chief of Airport Police ensures compliance with the Airport Security Programs at LAWA's three airports; Transportation Security Administration mandates; pertinent airport rules and regulations; and international, federal, state and local laws and ordinances. In pursuing this objective, Airport Police conducts field inspections of personnel, equipment, and facilities; and manages activities of all law enforcement and security units. LAWA Police works closely with LAWA divisions and airport tenants, as well as federal, state and local law enforcement agencies operating at LAWA airports, including the Los Angeles Police Department, Los Angeles Fire Department, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Transportation Security Administration and Federal Bureau of Investigation.

In Love With Lawsuits
Why Litigiousness Is a National Character Trait
November 1994 | Volume 45, Issue 7
In one of the earliest examples of American investigative reporting, Mein had printed in his Boston Chronicle customhouse records that exposed local merchants who had pledged not to import British goods but were breaking their own boycott. He also proved himself a skillful political satirist, verbally caricaturing the anti-British leaders with such close-to-the-bone sobriquets as "Muddle-head," for the wild-talking, alcoholic Otis, and "Johnny Dupe, Esq., alias the Milch-Cow," for the flattery-hungry John Hancock, whose large fortune made him the principal financial backer of the radical cause.
By the fall of 1769 the resentment had bubbled into violence. After a direct personal assault on the pesky Mein, the radicals literally ran him out of Boston. Hancock, however, using the law ruthlessly, achieved a more permanent revenge, guaranteeing that even if Mein returned, he would never again produce a newspaper.
Like most colonial merchants, Mein depended for his stock-in-trade on English suppliers, to whom he was perennially in debt. Well acquainted with Mein's London creditors, Hancock undertook to act for the two largest, armed with their powers of attorney. It took almost three years; but when Hancock finished, all of Mein's printing equipment had fallen to a sheriff's execution sale, and the "scourge of patriots" had faded into newspaper history.
Litigation has, however, meant more than a safety valve for the population's discontent. Lawsuits generally concern money, and money as the object of a contest in turn generates recompense for the lawyers. It is not entirely coincidental that the leader of the consortium that recently bought baseball's Baltimore Orioles has, with conspicuous success, represented more claimants for asbestos-related personal injuries than any other Maryland lawyer. (A former Orioles owner was Edward Bennett Williams, another highly successful attorney.)
Concern for the financial aspect of law and lawsuits has always afflicted the bar's evaluation of its role. John Adams complained in the 1760s of the oncoming new lawyers: "They swarm and multiply." The practitioners established rules for admission to practice and advancement after admission. Ostensibly these assured the public of competent professional service. If regulating entry into the profession also prevented untoward dilution of the bar's rewards, well, that was only a fortunate by-product of quality control.
Even then the law was too much of a profession to be a business—and too much of a business to be a profession. When in 1774 the Massachusetts Superieur Court of Judicature made its annual circuit to "the eastern Counties" (now Maine), Adams's friend and fellow radical Josiah Quincy, though already wracked by the tuberculosis that would kill him within a year, "drove forward, I suppose that he might get upon the fishing ground before his brother Sam, and me," trolling for clients.
It is neither immoral nor cynical to note that courtroom civil law—that is, any noncriminal trial—involves money, even when it does not appear to. Consider the most familiar form of civil litigation, a claim for money after personal injury. To an intelligent foreign observer, it sometimes seems as though Americans feel that whenever something bad happens to a person, someone else should pay. That, the observer might conclude, is the reason why courts are forever deciding that what appears to be perfectly blameless behavior results in liability to pay money damages.
Medical malpractice is an excellent example, or so doctors think. Why, they wonder, should a dedicated, hardworking physician have to pay, merely because the medical result was less than perfect? Passing over the thought that the patient owed his unsatisfactory final condition not to bad luck but rather to bad treatment, the answer is that society has determined that certain types of misfortune will rate financial recompense.
Of course, this determination did not depend upon a visible plebiscite. Nonetheless, the decision was as definite as if it had. The plaintiff won money damages because the law, the ultimate expression of society's will, said he was entitled to make the claim, and because a jury, representing society's view of the particular case, said the claim was valid.

Two notable events, one involving space and one involving weather, occurred on this day in history.
Telstar 1 was a communications satellite that was launched on July 10, 1962. It took off on a Thor-Delta rocket into Earth orbit. The unmanned satellite would make history in multiple ways. Telstar 1 relayed the first live TV signal from across the Atlantic and was the first satellite to relay a telephone call through space. It also processed fax data. Radiation from a high-altitude nuclear bomb test caused Telstar 1 to fail prematurely and it would become inoperative in less than a year.
Hurricane Dennis, from the 2005 Atlantic Tropical Season, formed on July 4th of that year and would severely impact Cuba before making landfall in the United States on July 10, 2005. It would specifically impact the Florida panhandle between Pensacola and Navarre Beach. Wind gusts near 100 miles per hour were recorded in multiple locations. No extreme damage was reported in that area, but many locations received light to moderate damage. 14 deaths occurred in Florida as a result of Dennis. The storm also brought high winds and flooding rains to parts of Alabama, which also severely damaged crops there. The storm also brought some severe weather to Georgia and Mississippi. Since then, the name Dennis has been retired.

The James E. Casey Community Service Award is the highest honor that can be bestowed on any UPSer. Created in 1995, the award is given annually to the one UPSer who rises above all others to demonstrate an "exceptional commitment to helping others in their community."
Flying from his home in Hialeah Gardens, Florida, to the country of Colombia, UPSer Joseph Sosa makes a long drive from Monteria to a remote, 900-person village called Buenos Aires once every three months or so. If the jeep holds up on the undeveloped road through mountains and farm lands, Joseph reaches the little community where his grandmother lived and died.
He arrives in the village of his family roots with a big smile … and with a load of food, books, medicines, and other goods for the children of this needy community.
Back in Florida, Joseph, age 39, works as a part-time Driver and Night Sort Safety Committee Co-chair in Hialeah. After hours, he's President and Founder of the Mami Dora Foundation, pledged to provide basic needs to the village of Buenos Aires, Colombia, and others like it that don't have reliable drinking water, electricity, or other modern conveniences. In South America, his work even includes some politics – Joseph recently met with Colombia's vice president and with senators to raise awareness of conditions in impoverished villages.
Here is Joseph's story:

Little Big Town Promises "Fun Fiesta of Goofiness" for TV Special on CMA Music Fest
The country group only has one complaint about hosting Monday's highlights show.
Things might get a little crazy on Monday night's (Aug. 12) ABC special on this summer's CMA Music Fest.
And that's because ABC tapped Little Big Town to host the show, CMA Music Festival: Country's Night To Rock.
For instance, Little Big Town's Karen Fairchild described their favorite interview being with Lady Antebellum.
"They are our dear friends, and I don't know if that was an interview as much as a fun fiesta of goofiness," Karen says.
LBT also loved talking to Zac Brown about food, and the quartet also loved learning about the origins of the festival.
Ya know what Little Big Town didn't love? Wearing the same outfit all four nights of the festival.
"The only thing I would do differently if we got to host differently is I'd like to change clothes every night. You know, 'cause we have to wear the same thing, so for continuity," Karen said. "But ABC, could we please not be continuous?"

Recycled Egg Carton Earrings

The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
Your ideas for homemade earrings probably don't include egg cartons, right? Well change the way you think about DIY jewelry designs and create your own Recycled Egg Carton Earrings. These danglers are sophisticated, pretty and oh so versatile.
- Egg carton (fibre paper type)
- Scissors
- Tombow Dual Brush Pen – Turquoise
- Prima Chalk Ink – Pastel Blue, Pastel Yellow
- Small hole punch
- Fishhook earring findings
- Jewelry pliers
- Optional: spray sealer
Cut desired shape from flat portion of egg carton.
Using brush tip, apply turquoise ink on both front and back and on sides. Let dry.
Apply chalk ink over turquoise ink, applying just enough color for a dry-brush effect. You only want to highlight the raised portions with the chalk ink. Let dry.
Punch holes for jewelry findings.
If desired, spray front and back with spray sealer in matte or gloss. Please note that it will take many coats to get a glossy finish on the earrings because the fiber paper really soaks it up!
- Attach fishhook earrings.

What? Earrings out of a egg carton! And it is so easy and they do look elegant. I love that you are recycling to make these earrings. The fact that you can cut out your own shape to make it different is such a great idea. I just wonder if they will be too flimsy if you do not add a stiffener or sealant to them. Anyone make these yet?
Apr 14, 2015
I have to admit, I was hesitant that these would be worth clicking on to look at...As they say, "never judge a book...etc!" These are unique and lovely! A great idea for a recycled project that doesn't have the recycled "look"! Are they delicate to wear? If they are, is there something that could be applied to harden them to be more durable? Anyway, I love it!

NOM NOW has just rolled out another dazzling wallpaper that will hopefully pacify your frazzled and icon ridden monitors. Designer, Mike Smith, wrote on his blog that the piece was meant to remind himself (and you, dear readers) to, "…just realize that sometimes the simplest solution may be the best solution, just because an idea comes easy doesn't mean that it has any less worth." So remember, next time you are struggling with those TPS reports, sometimes the best ideas come easiest.
Check out previous NOM NOW Wallpapers and don't forget to thank them with a "like": Vol 1,Vol 2, Vol 3, Vol 4, Vol 5, Vol 6

Description of Research ExpertiseDr. Pyeritz focuses his research in two areas: Mendelian disorders of the cardiovascular system, especially those involving defects of connective tissue; and, ethical, legal and social implications of the human genetics. He is continuing his studies, begun over 20 years ago, of Marfan syndrome and related conditions, diseases in which the aorta and occasionally major arterial branches, gradually enlarge and dissect, leading to early demise if untreated. Current efforts include a multicenter trial of angiotensin receptor blockade in Marfan syndrome, the identification of additional genes that predispose to arteriopathy, and improving methods for diagnosing and treating arterio-venous malformations, especially in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT).
Dr. Pyeritz directs Penn CIGHT, the Center for the Integration of Genetic Healthcare Technologies. Supported by the ELSI Branch of the National Human Genome Research Institute, this center conducts research in the broad area of 'uncertainty' as related to the introduction of evolving approaches to assaying a patient's genotype. Penn CIGHT also provides pilot grants to faculty and postdoctoral fellowships. Dr. Pyeritz is specifically addressing how molecular genetic testing for HHT impacts the acceptance and costs of screening relatives who are at-risk.
Description of Itmat ExpertiseDr. Pyeritz studies heritable diseases compatible with survival to adulthood and has long been involved with studying pathogenesis and what it teaches about treatments.

If you have not bought a puppy bed yet, then you would be surprised at the choices available today. While a number of people would find this situation a much easier shopping process, majority of people find it difficult to purchase one due to the wide range of options, and among the biggest decisions they have to make is whether to buy a puppy bed based on style or comfort. The reason why you need to make this choice is because it would get rid of half the choice. Keep in mind that there is no right or wrong decision here; just go with the one that you want for your beloved furry friend.
Irrespective of the kind of puppy bed you choose, you need to be sure that it is the correct size. It can be the most comfortable and stylish bed, but if it's too small or big, your puppy will not sleep on it. You should buy one that is big enough that would allow your puppy to stretch out, yet small enough that he/she would not feel lost when he/she curls up in the bed. Moreover, remember that your puppy will grow quickly, so you have to select wisely because if not, you would be purchasing numerous beds in the first couple of months.
Some pet owners opt for a chic puppy bed simply because they want to spoil their dog. There are beds that are made of velvet and other plush materials, as well as canopy beds, which are suitable for princess-type dogs, but if the comfort of your puppy is what you care about, then go with a puppy bed that is made for comfort. Such beds feature lush pillows and padding that will allow your pet to relax easier. For this one, you should not concern yourself with regard to the bed's color just as long as the material is tough and resistant to chewing.

Democratic Dallas County commissioners narrowly agreed this afternoon to join a lawsuit against Republican Texas Gov. Rick Perry over state efforts to enforce a controversial voter identification law.
Democratic Commissioner Elba Garcia stepped out of the partisan fray inextricably linked to the national debate on voter ID laws and joined Republican colleague Mike Cantrell in voting against the move. County Judge Clay Jenkins and commissioners Theresa Daniel and John Wiley Price, all Democrats, votes for the measure.
Supporters of suing, including District Attorney Craig Watkins, said the move is an attempt to protect voters' rights. An estimated 220,000 county voters lack the identification the law would require.
Cantrell, the lone Republican commissioner, accused his colleagues of using county funds to push a partisan agenda. Garcia criticized the lack of detailed information on what joining the suit will cost.

Dear Editor:
Growing up in a family without guns perhaps makes if difficult to understand why seemingly intelligent people in the United States insist on guns. Not being a hunter, I can accept rifles and shotguns with limited loads - very limited.
But, for the life of me, I cannot understand handguns and certainly not high-powered assault rifles. Even the hunters I know think they are silly and don't even think it's fair to use such weapons. So I assume the argument against guns has nothing to do with sport hunting, as much as I don't understand hunting with our grocery stores stocked full of quality foods.
So the argument against safeguarding our children and the rest of society seems to be some unfounded fear of a rogue government taking control of our country. So let me ask: In an age of drones and weapons of mass destruction, do you really think that handguns and assault rifles would really make any difference?
Given that, why is it safer for me to be a passenger on an airplane than it is for my children to sit in kindergarten class at Aspen Elementary? Where are the rights of our children, our moviegoers, ourselves?
This battle will take a long time to clean up the country of unnecessary firearms, but it's necessary. And locally, we can act now, beginning with more security measures at the Aspen schools. It's time we stand up for our children's rights and those who realize the false security of owning a firearm. Our kids deserve it; we deserve it.
Buy a can of bear spray if necessary. Just don't put the rest of us in harm's way because of your paranoia.

The appointment, recently announced by William H. Brooks, Noranda Aluminum Group president, was the obvious choice.
"Keith has been there 32 years and he has had a number of positions," said Brooks from his Nashville, Tenn., office. "Every job we have put him in, he has done a good job. ... I'm confident that Keith can do a good job here."
Back in 1972, armed with an engineering degree from the University of Kentucky, Gregston began work as a process engineer in Noranda's Rod Mill. His job included setting up production standards, reviewing the product lines and consulting with customers of the plant, which then had some 350 employees and only one potline.
Over the next three decades, Gregston gained experience in Noranda's operations as he tackled new assignments. He worked as senior staff engineer for the plant's Engineering Department, served as superintendent for the Metal Products and Rod Mill Departments and later as Reduction Plant manager. Before stepping into the role as interim president last October, Gregston was the director of operations.
"These days it is highly unusual for someone to have one employer for 32 years," said Gregston. "But Noranda has been good to me and I've been able to do a lot of different things at one location."
Reflecting back on his years with Noranda, Gregston said moving into different jobs within the company has given him the opportunity to work with a variety of people. Also, he noted, it gave him an understanding of how important teamwork is to business success.
Through the years not only have his responsibilities grown, but also the plant. Today the 1,120 employees for the local plant operate three potlines which produced some 550 million pounds of primary aluminum in 2003 and served customers throughout the U.S. and Mexico.
Describing each plant expansion as an exciting time, Gregston added each had its own challenge. The most recent expansion brought some of the newest technology available to the plant site to make operations more efficient and increase metal production.
Gregston said he was very appreciative to be appointed to his new position.
"I am honored to be given responsibility for our plant in New Madrid," he said. "We have a great workforce who take a lot of pride in their work and we receive strong support from the surrounding communities. I look forward to future challenges and realize it will take the continued support of everyone to ensure our plant's future success."
His devotion to his fellow employees is evident as he credits their support as part of the reason he received his most recent promotion.
One of his priorities, Gregston continued, is to ensure Noranda is a safe place to work. "I want the employees to go home safe and sound and for Noranda to be the best place in Southeast Missouri to work," Gregston said.
Looking to the company's future, Gregston said there are challenges ahead for the aluminum industry as a whole and Noranda as it strives to be competitive in a global marketplace.
"I want us to continue to be a viable force in the aluminum business," said Gregston about the local plant. To do this under his guidance as president and general manager Gregston said the plant must be flexible enough to adapt to aluminum market conditions, be prepared for change and still focused on sound business strategy.
And Noranda has a competitive edge - the employees - added Gregston. "The whole is equal to the sum of its parts. If everyone is not working together we can't survive. Working together, we will."
Gregston resides in Sikeston with his wife, Debbie, who works at Lee Hunter Elementary School. Their daughter Anne is an art director and graphic designer in St. Louis and her twin brother, Chris, is a computer analyst with SBC in St. Louis.

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
Welcome to Shelf Porn, our weekly peep into somebody's comic collection. This week Shawn Borbandy shares a huge number of pictures of his collection of comics, toys, statues and more. Also, I'm trying out a different layout for Shelf Porn this week, so let me know what you think.
If you'd like to share your collection, hit me up! Email pictures and a write-up to email@example.com. Also, if you're decorating for the holidays and using any sort of comic book theme on your tree or around the house, we want to see those, too! So take some photos of your ornaments and send them to me as well.
And now let's hear from Shawn …
Hi there. My name is Shawn Borbandy. This is my shelf porn. My wife and I bought a new house six months ago, with one of the goals being getting a bigger den than the one we had for my stuff. The room was a bit bigger, but we noticed the front closet took alot of the space you could have away. So my wife suggested we reverse the closet into the den. You'll notice,in the pictures with the longbox shelves, is the closet turned back into the den. Sweet idea from a sweet wife! Anyways, there's not much in this room that a person can't find in any store,save some original sketches from some conventions. But I think it's all about having a space where you can put all this stuff out and enjoy it everyday. I know my daughter loves it and she's only just turned one! By the way, best pieces I own are the 19 inch Galactus figure, and the plush Krypto! Won him in Six Flags over Arlington. Had to check him as luggage on the flight back to Canada!
Personally I think is better to have all the pictures full size on the page, so you can scroll down and look at them all.
Otherwise it could get tedious or tired to click the pictures one by one, I did, but I was certainly tempted not to.
Definitely prefer the previous layout. Hope this is helpful.
Yeah, I prefer the old way too. This way the thumbnails are too small, you have to click on each picture to get a good view, and you can't enlarge from there either. I like being able to read the titles etc on the books.
Otherwise, a very nice collection Shawn!
That is helpful … thanks!
Sorry about the picture sizes. I sent the whole file, instead of them individually.
I prefer the old style too. I'm also envious of that long box closet – it almost looks like a giant card catalog.
Count me in as another reader who prefers the old layout. It's just more convenient. I'm not really inclined to click on each thumbnail.
Nice room and collection(s).
Your daughter will have a great time with all of those toys as she gets a bit older !
Another vote for the old way please. Its a real chore to keep clicking and then going back.
I prefer the old way, I like to view larger images w/o having to click on them.
NIce collection and a great room set up
I opened every picture in another tab to scroll through them. I don't care if its old way or new way, as long as I can see detail.
I would put a lock on the door, or move everything to higher shelves soon, for fear that the collection will be destroyed via baby.
Those Marvel crate statues are insane. I only saw one (Cyclops) once, at a K-Mart of all places. Great and underrated line. Never seen them all at once. Impressive collection.
I much prefer the old way. Thumbnails are way too small. Kudos for trying something new though.
The first thing I did was replace the door handles. She can go in there supervised until she's at least 40.
Very nice collection and well laid out as well.
I would also like to chip in and say that the old format was better…thanks for the effort of trying something new though!
I've been an avid follower of this column. First time to comment here, just to say that I prefer the old style.
hi there, just wanted to say great room… i'm feel bad for you that the new change in format was implemented for your room, and that so many comments are focused on that.
you've got a great room, and a great family!
Where's the next entry? Come on guys, get those pics and write-ups in! We want to see more of the domains of our geek overlords! I should get my shit together and get a (rather more humble) post in.
Love this feature so much.

for a few weeks now my xplorer2 (lite) has trouble remembering the width of the panes after restarting:
I always have the tree and preview on the left and then the two panes in the middle and on the right. The width of the tree and preview I keep as small as possible. But when I shut down the program and restart it the width is about double the size I want it (~1/3 screen width). I've never had that problem before until recently.
Any explanations or solutions?

Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh took the podium at the Big Game Luncheon on Monday and barely got a chance to talk about the Big Game.
Between questions about his ongoing contract discussions and Toby Gerhart's late-season Heisman push, Harbaugh spent much of his time defending a decision to go for two with Stanford leading 48-21 in the fourth quarter of Saturday's blowout of USC.
"There was an opportunity to punch it in and we thought it was the right thing to do," Harbaugh said. "We wanted to be full throttle the entire game. We felt like we were going to get it and that's why we did it."
The two-point attempt failed, but a touchdown on the Cardinal's next possession made the final score 55-21, the most points USC has ever given up.
"Had I known that they weren't going to score any more points and that we were going to score another touchdown, I probably wouldn't have done it," Harbaugh admitted.
Gerhart said the players on the field knew how big their lead was but supported the call because "you never feel safe against a dynamic team like USC."
"We've talked about being relentless all year long and putting teams away and that was an opportunity to do that," he added.
The decision drew plenty of national attention — including an ESPN piece asking which was worse, the two-point attempt Saturday or Bill Belichick's fourth-down gamble in New England's loss to Indianapolis a day later.
The increased exposure couldn't come at a better time for Harbaugh, who said he's close to extending his current contract.
"(Athletic director) Bob Bowlsby and I will have an announcement on that in the not-too-distant future," said Harbaugh, now in his third year. "I love Stanford football — the stadium, the tradition, the players and the coaches — and I hope to have the honor of coaching at Stanford for a very long time."
"Toby represents everything the Heisman Trophy represents," Harbaugh said. "He literally takes our football team on his back. Not only should he be in the discussion, but based on what he's accomplished, he should win it."
Stanford thought about campaigning on Gerhart's behalf earlier this season, but the senior tailback shot down plans for a billboard. Although it will be an uphill climb to the program's first Heisman since Jim Plunkett won it in 1970, Gerhart hopes the attention "might get some more NFL people looking at me."

FOOD BASED - No Synthetic Ascorbic Acid
BUFFERED - Easy on stomach
250 mg of all natural VITAMIN C per tablet
VEGAN VITAMIN C - All Natural and buffered
Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin with a role in the formation of collagen, which is an important constituent of bones, muscle, cartilage and blood vessels. It is also involved in the growth and repair of the important tissues and organs in the body. This vitamin is not stored in the body and some of the main sources of Vitamin C include fruits and vegetables. High quality supplements, such as Vegan Vitamin C is another potent source of Vitamin C.
Severe Deficiency of Vitamin C in the body causes scurvy, which is a disease that affects the gums, skin, cartilage and other collagen-containing tissues. Individual who have scurvy feel weak and tired and, suffer from aches in their joints and muscles. It is also characterized by bleeding under the skin and gums loosening of the teeth, dry and scaly skin, anemia (due to low absorption of iron) and infections that take a lot of time to heal. These symptoms disappear after the individuals start taking the adequate amount of Vitamin C (natural or supplements) in their diet.
Our Vegan Vitamin C is made from Acerola Extract, Camu Camu and Rosehips. Each tablet provides 250 mg of Vitamin C from all natural food sources. Deva Vegan Vitamin C does not contain any synthetic form of Vitamin C. Acerola Extract is derived from the fruit of the Acerola plant also known as West Indian Cherry. The fruits of the acerola tree are appreciated for their nutritive value, and they are generally regarded as being one of the richest organic sources for the vitamin C in the world. Camu Camu is also a shrub like Acerola, found in the Amazon forest and known as the highest source of vitamin C. Rose hips are berries, which can be eaten fresh, dried or even preserved. They are known for their high content of Vitamin C as well as well other natural health properties.
Our Vitamin C is buffered with calcium so its acidity is reduced in the stomach. This helps ensure it is easy on your stomach and less likely to cause loose stools unlike regular vitamin C products.
DEVA Vegan Vitamin C is 100% animal free, and guaranteed for purity, freshness and labeled potency. Remember all DEVA Products are 100% vegan, vegetarian and are certified by the Vegan Society, the non-profit organization that actually invented the word "vegan".
