Is this just another clutching-at-straws-from-the-press idea or should we seriously be considering this guy as a striking option? Can't say I've ever heard of him.http://22.214.171.124/cgi/NGoto/2/295519927?9167
Sheva comes in to Milan, so the press do their math and figure he (Borriello) is the odd man out...and oh, look who's looking for strikers...us...bingo presto, news flash, those press guys need to be de-nutted!It took all of 5 mins for AC to rubbish that report.

Apple: What Will Come First, IPad 3 Or $500 Stock Price?
Apple shares are zooming higher again today as our corporate cousins at All Things D are reporting Apple will unveil the iPad 3 next month.
The stock, which has been on an absolute tear over the last six weeks, has jumped another 3.6% to $493.80 in recent trading and is inching toward $500.
It's been a staggering run for the most valuable company in the U.S., measured by market capitalization. Apple surpassed Exxon for the top spot two weeks ago. Since then, the gap has widened to nearly $60 billion, according to FactSet data.
Apple shares fell as low as $315.32 in June and remained in a choppy trading range throughout much of the second half of 2011.
Since Nov. 25, shares have soared 35% and hit a fresh intraday high of $495.12 earlier today.
Even as the stock has been on a fast and furious tear higher, Wall Street analysts are giddy over its future prospects. Canaccord Genuity boosted its price target on Apple to $665. Yes, you read that correctly $665.
From Canaccord:
Our January checks indicated iPhone 4S was the top-selling model at AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon, and we anticipate strong March quarter iPhone sales in international markets including China. As a result, we are increasing our March quarter iPhone unit estimate from 30.1M to 32.6M units.
Canccord's price target would represent another 35% rally from current levels.
Needham & Co. is also awfully bullish, boosting its price target this morning from $540 to $620 due to the ability of Apple's sales "to grow at an unprecedented rate for a company so large." Here's Needham's take:
Since our previous valuation report, the most important changes in the competitive landscape have occurred in the media tablet market. With the introduction of the Amazon Kindle Fire and other low-priced tablets, tablet sales have grown at a much faster pace than we previously forecast. From the iPad's perspective, the device has launched a massive attack on the business market prompting us to materially increase our forecast of iPad sales as well. Courtesy of the halo effect, the increase in our forecast of iPad sales has, in turn, translated into an increase in our forecast of Mac sales, which is also invading the business market.
Among the risks to such a rosy outlook include the potential that Apple may not be able to innovate at the same pace as it did under Steve Jobs, Needham says. Slowing iPhone sales or declining gross margins could also weigh on the stock.
So MarketBeaters, how high can Apple's stock go? Do we see $500 in February? $600 sometime over the next few months? $700 in the offing? What do ya say?

Overlawyered: The War on Terror and Corporate America
We've posted a few times already on Jack Goldsmith's new book "The Terror Presidency," but it keeps raising provocative questions. Instapundit — aka law professor Glenn Reynolds — is reading the book and quotes the following passage as an example of his view that the law of terror has been Overlawyered:
In my two years in the government, I witnessed top officials and bureaucrats in the White House and throughout the administration openly worrying that investigators acting with the benefit of hindsight in a different political environment would impose criminal penalties on heat-of-battle judgment calls. These men and women did not believe they were breaking the law, and indeed they took extraordinary steps to ensure that they didn't. But they worried nonetheless because they would be judged in an atmosphere different from when they acted, because the criminal investigative process is mysterious and scary, because lawyers' fees can cause devastating financial losses, and because an investigation can produce reputation-ruining dishonor and possibly end one's career, even if you emerge "innocent."
He then cites a comment by a reader who analogizes the legal zeitgeist of the war on terror with the one existing in Corporate America:
Welcome to the post-SarBox, Elliott Spitzer world. We in business face this on a regular basis. I can't decide whether I'm glad public servants experience the same headaches we do or concerned because an intelligence/military failure costs lives, while a business failure costs only money (though when Spitzer was around, it also sometimes cost freedom).
In business, not only has bad judgment become a crime, so has a good decision made on the basis of incomplete information, which later turns out to have been the wrong call. This is not good for America, where innovation and risk are what we do better than Europe, China, or India.
"Law and lawyers are swell in their place," writes Reynolds. "The extent of that place, however, is not unlimited."

Quite often, responses vary when different individuals are faced with same situation. Shankar Annaswamy , now CEO of IBM India, was pleasantly surprised when IBM contacted him to lead its Indian operations. "I came from a medical technology background," he says. Annaswamy was heading GE medical systems then, and while the offer stumped him, another man facing a similar situation had an entirely opposite reaction. Abhik Mitra, managing director of RPG music was hardly amazed when he received an offer to lead TNT, a logistics company, in India . "It did not surprise me, really," he says.
Many more CEOs of India Inc are being asked such questions as, increasingly, companies are hiring chief executives from outside their businesses to drive growth and move to the next level. 'Lateral CEOs' or 'out-of-thebox CEOs' are suddenly in vogue. Imagine a true-blue investment banker heading a cement company, or an oil and gas company — it would have been unthinkable a few years ago. But Ashish Guha of Ambit is the Heidelberg Cement CEO, and so is Rahul Dhir, a former MD and cohead of energy and power investment banking at Merrill Lynch who now heads Cairn Energy in India. Imagine a steel and power lifer like Firdose Vandrewala heading a company like Motorola. Examples like this are plenty — RC Venkatesh moved from Kellog's to ESPN as its managing director; Kuldip Kaura shifted gears from from ABB to Vedanta as CEO; Pramath Sinha began a new chapter with his cross-over from McKinsey to Ananda Bazaar Patrika, and so on.

By Mr. Kevin Stabinsky (IMCOM)September 17, 2010
In 2009, the number of active duty Soldier suicides increased by 20 to 160, and the number of Reserve and National Guard suicides rose by 25 to 82.
To combat this rise of suicides, the Army has mounted an aggressive campaign, releasing anti-suicides videos like "Shoulder to Shoulder," arming Soldiers with ACE (Ask, Care, Escort) cards that teach how to deal with someone feeling suicidal, and encouraging and enforcing suicide awareness training.
In keeping with Army standards, Fort McPherson and Fort Gillem personnel are conducting training throughout September, Suicide Prevention Month, and doing as much as possible to educate the populace on handling this epidemic, said Eric Powell, U.S. Army Garrison (USAG) Wellness Center prevention education coordinator and assistant suicide prevention coordinator.
"We want to take advantage of every opportunity we have to educate," Powell said. "We continue to do all we can to reduce the number of suicides and attempts."
Examples of such educational opportunities can be seen in static displays around the installations including handouts, bracelets, lapel pins, ACE cards and pocket sliders with information on dealing with suicidal individuals.
Powell said various posters produced by the Army G-1 have been placed in high-visibility areas to increase awareness, and messages have been placed on electronic monitors in the Lawrence Joel Army Health Clinic and U.S. Army Reserve Command headquarters.
Powell said the increase in promoting suicide awareness is a big change from his time in the Army. A retired master sergeant, he said one of the biggest differences in how the Army deals with suicide is in changing the stigma of personnel asking for help.
"There are some things people can't just suck up," Powell said. "The Army is showing Soldiers it takes a lot of strength to acknowledge you need help."
Help is available in many ways, Powell and Chap. (Capt.) Fred Wendell, USAG Catholic chaplain, said.
Some organizations available to Soldiers include the chaplaincy, mental health counsel services and Army Community Service.
The Wellness Center also helps indirectly through its substance abuse programs.
"Statistics show substance abuse and alcohol factors in 50 percent of suicides," Powell said.
Powell also said there is generally not one thing to point a finger at as the main cause of suicides, saying factors include financial difficulties, divorce, Family problems and work situations.
"That is the challenge," Powell said. "There's no one thing, there aren't always signs and anyone and everyone is susceptible."
Statistics released by the G-1 Human Resources Policy Directorate support Powell's analysis.
Suicides have been reported in all enlisted ranks, in officer ranks through lieutenant colonel and in the warrant officer ranks through chief warrant officer 4.
Ages range from 17 to 58 and include married, single, divorced and widowed Soldiers, as well as Soldiers who have never deployed.
Statistics also show that more men - 156 active duty and 77 in the Reserve and National Guard - committed suicide compared to women - four active duty and five Reserve and National Guard.
Additionally, whites - 77.7 percent of active duty and 84.1 percent of Reserve and National Guard suicides - make up a majority of those committing suicide.
Just as suicide affects all ranks, races and sexes, each of these groups can be a combatant against suicide.
One source of help for Soldiers is each other, Wendell said.
"We want to make people aware of one another," he said, adding that doing so could help identify problems. "We can help individual persons cope so that even the thought of suicide doesn't happen."
Doing so is important, Wendell said, because "People are important and every person matters," adding he avoids thinking of reported suicides as merely numbers, but instead as actual people.
If someone is considering suicide or feels he or she knows someone thinking of committing suicide, he or she should seek help from someone such as their commander or chaplain, Powell said, adding the main thing is to talk to someone. Wendell said in his role as a counselor, he has noticed that when people come to talk to him, they often feel overwhelmed and just want a way out.
"In my mind, suicide is the greatest act of despair," Wendell said. "I want people to see there is always a way out."
Wendell said since no one person knows everything about the future, suicide is a poor way to escape an issue that may be solvable in another way.
In his counseling, Wendell said people he has helped have eventually come around to see how things could be different.
However, suicide is ultimately an individual decision, Wendell said. For those who know someone who has committed suicide, Powell said there are options available to help them through their grief. "A suicide survivor is the one left behind after a suicide," he said. "Each and every suicide affects many other people in many ways."
Blame, guilt, shock, denial, loneliness and sorrow are all common ways people are affected, Powell said.
Support groups and grief counseling is available at the Wellness Center. "We try to share with suicide survivors that it is not their fault," Powell said.
Although programs are available, they are programs that hopefully will never have to be used, Wendell said.
"One suicide is too much," said Wendell.

Vt. Senate leader resigns for health reasons
Sen. Carris represents Rutland County
The majority leader in the Vermont Senate is resigning from the Legislature due to health reasons.
Sixty-eight-year-old Sen. Bill Carris, a Democrat representing Rutland County, says he's decided back and foot problems will prevent him from fully doing his job at the Statehouse during the session set to start next month.
Carris had surgery this fall, but says it did not alleviate his problems to the degree he hoped it would. He says he's loved his time in Montpelier and is sorry that he needs to step down.
Gov. Peter Shumlin, who will appoint someone to serve out the term until the next election in 2014, says Carris' departure is a loss to Rutland County and the state at large.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission on Wednesday appointed referee Robert Byrd and judges Robert Hoyle, Patricia Morse Jarman and Glenn Feldman to work the Oct. 12 welterweight bout between Tim Bradley and Juan Manuel Marquez at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas.
Byrd refereed Bradley's disputed split-decision over Manny Pacquiao in June, as well as Marquez's seventh-round stoppage of Manuel Medina in for the IBF's 126-pound belt in February of 2003.
Hoyle's card read 114-114 in Marquez's majority decision loss to Pacquiao in November of 2011, and he had Marquez ahead, 77-74, when the Mexican fighter rose from a third-round knockdown to stop Michael Katsidis in the ninth round in November of 2010.
Chosen for the bout between Orlando Salido and Orlando Cruz for the WBO's vacant featherweight belt are referee Kenny Bayless and judges Jerry Roth, Glenn Trowbridge and Ed Kugler.
Bayless was the third man in the ring for Floyd Mayweather' Jr.s majority decision over Canelo Alvarez on Sept. 14, a one-sided win which was slightly marred by the score of 114-114 by judge C.J. Ross.
Ross, who has taken a leave of absence in the wake of the Mayweather-Alvarez scoring controversy, was among two judges — the other being Duane Ford — who scored 115-113 for Bradley over Pacquiao.
Surprised by Ross's score in the Mayweather-Alvarez bout, Nevada Commission Chairman Bill Brady apologized for failing to block Ross's inclusion into Mayweather-Alvarez, a recommendation by NSAC executive director Keith Kizer, and promised more scrutiny of officials in future selection procedures.
To that end, Kizer said that a conference call was held the day before Wednesday's committee meeting, during which Brady and parcicipants of the Bradley and Marquez camps were briefed on the suggested officials.
"The added aspect with Chairman Brady on the conference call wasn't asking anybody who they wanted or anything like that. It was just to see my list," said Kizer.
"For the most part there was no concern for most of the officials, and for the officials that we ended up using, there were no concerns whatsoever. No concerns from either Top Rank, Bradley or Marquez, so that worked out well."
At Wednesday's meeting, Kizer said Top Rank matchmaker Bruce Trampler validated his assertion, informing commission members that there were no issues with the referees or the judges.
"For all of the fighters, I see who has worked their fights in the past. Once I have my list compiled, I'll go through the Boxrec.com for each individual official," said Kizer, who explained his selection process to commission members on Wednesday.
"I not only look at that official's work experience with that fighter, but also, I look at their work experience on other fights, especially as of late. That works out very well. It was just explained in a little more detail, so I believe that the process is more understandable now."
Bradley (30-0, 12 knockouts) has said that he wants to retire Marquez (55-6-1, 40 KOs), who turned 40 last month and aims to become Mexico's first five-division titlewinner.
"Marquez-Bradley is a pretty even matchup. I've noticed that the experts seem fairly evenly split. The one thing that most people seem to be leaning toward is that the fight goes the distance, and you never know who will get the benefit of the doubt from the judges in Las Vegas," said HBO's Jim Lampley.
Bradley was last in the ring in March, when he rose from a 12th-round knockdown to secure a unanimous decision over Ruslan Provodnikov in defense of the title he won by split-decision over Pacquiao last June. In his last fight, Marquez scored a sixth-round knockout of Pacquiao.
"It could be a close fight," said Lampley. "Their styles conspire in such a way that I think that both guys have a chance to do what they want to do, particularly if Bradley wants to attack a little more, as he did in his fight with Provodnikov. Marquez may be the best natural counterpuncher outside of Floyd Mayweather in the sport."
"The great thing about this fight is that this fight presents a fair number of unknowns. So we're not going to find out what's going to happen until they get into the ring."
Trainer Ronnie Shields confirmed a report that his fighter, Bryan Vera (23-6, 14 KOs), will face former WBC middleweight titleholder Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. (46-1-1, 32 KOs) at catchweight of 173 pounds that is beyond the originally contracted super middleweight mark of 168.
To that end, Top Rank CEO Bob Arum said that he wold look to negotiate a deal on Wednesday morning with Artie Pelullo, the promoter of Vera, potentially to raise the contracted to mark to somewhere above 168, and perhaps to 173.
"We will just have to work out a financial consideration that would be given to Bryan Vera because Chavez can't make weight," said Pelullo to RingTV.com on Tuesday afternoon. "We have a contract to deliver Bryan Vera at 168 pounds, and I will deliver him that, and Bryan's already at 168 or 169 right now. The problem has occurred because Chavez Jr. is overweight."
On Thursday, Shields informed RingTV.com that the mark of 173 was agreed to, and that Vera was financially compensated.
"All that happened was that we had a meeting with Artie — me, Bryan and his manager, Dave Watson, we told him exactly what the terms were that Bryan wanted. Then, Artie went to Arum, and then, he came back and saiid that that they had agreed to it. So the agreed upon weight was 173. It's something that Bryan wanted. Bryan set the terms on what he wanted. Everything was up to Bryan Vera," said Shields.
"Bryan realizes one thing: This guy worked his ass off for 17 weeks. This fight has been on and off four times. Bryan worked too hard to just say, 'I'm not fighting.' Bryan is very confident that he's going to win this fight, and so am I, absolutely, without a doubt. But if it was up to me, and if Bryan would have said, 'what do you think?' — and he did ask me what I thought — but if he would have said, 'you choose,' or whatever, then, more than likely, there would not have been a fight."
Two-division titlewinner Paulie Malignaggi (32-5, 7 KOs) informed RingTV.com on Wednesday that he is being considered for a Golden Boy-promoted welterweight bout against unbeaten Shawn Porter (22-0, 14 KOs) on Dec. 7 at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
Malignaggi was dethroned as WBA 147-pound beltholder via split-decision loss to Adrien Broner in June, while Porter is coming off a Sept. 12 unanimous decision over ex-beltholder Julio Diaz, with whom Porter had fought to a draw in December.
The post-fight drug tests for all of the fighters on the Porter-Diaz undercard at the MGM Grand on Sept. 12 returned negative for anabolic steroids, masking agents and marijuana, according to Kizer.

What are some good new apps for iPad?
One of the big draws of owning an iPad is the Apps which you can download so effortlessly onto your phones or tablets. Some Apps are frivolous and fun whereas others are educational and serious – some are a bit of both.
Musical tuition via fun simple development has become a feature of the modern age. With games like Guitar Hero and Sing Star people have become accustomed with basic musical concepts and terminology which can later be applied to the real thing. A good example of musical education via the world of Apps is Tiny Piano where you can play a range of popular songs as well as learning some basic scales.
The Tiny Piano App arrives in very simple form with a list of songs and a tiny piano on your screen on which to play them. Coloured prompts appear every time you need to hit a key and you can either play for fun or make or concerted effort to get to grips with the technicalities of what you're playing. The Piano sounds like a genuine keyboard with a nice rich depth of sound when you make chords and the free play option is particularly appealing to those who want to use the Tiny Piano App as a foundation for musical tuition. Whether you're playing on a grand piano or a virtual tiny piano, the theory's the same.
Similar Apps come in the forms of Magic Piano and John Cage Piano. The Magic Piano App may be good for developing musicality, dexterity and rhythm as it doesn't feature a real keyboard – just balls which you must hit in a synchronised way to make chords and single notes. John Cage Piano is an App tribute to the American composer who would place objects between the piano strings in order to make a range of experimental sounds – a fascinating study in the dynamics of making music.
For those who prefer to play games instead, the Simpsons: Tapped Out and Tap Paradise Cove are two of the most popular app based games on the market right now.

View the original review at: http://www.countryweekly.com/reviews/hear-me-now-deborah-allen
Though her biggest hits as an artist came in the 1980s ("Baby I Lied," "I've Been Wrong Before") Deborah Allen is well-versed in the country sound of the 1990s, having written songs recorded by '90s staples LeAnn Rimes, Brooks & Dunn and Patty Loveless, among others.
The majority of Deborah's new album, including her current single, "Anything Other Than Love," is a refreshing throwback for those who enjoyed the sounds blaring from country radio in the '90s. Hear Me Now marks her first release of new music since 2009's acoustic offering, Deb in the Raw.
Throughout the new release, Deborah's signature sassy lyrics and introspective songwriting take center stage. She balances ballads with heavy doses of honky-tonk on "Never Gonna Run Out of Love," "What Makes a Woman" and the flirty "It Better Be Big," but what's more commanding is her smoky, Heidi Newfield-esque voice, which soars and aches on "Deeper Waters," and even ventures into Celine Dion-lite territory on "I Want You."

I have met many a traveller at the airport who has just stepped off a twin-otter flight from the interior, their bags heavy with damp clothes that have been unable to dry under the canopy of the forest and their legs pock marked with leech bites; the residue of the rainforest lingers darkly on their faces as they collapse into their taxis and head straight for the nearest shower. I call this jungle fatigue. Thankfully, Borneo has more to offer than just jungle; in fact, some of the finest beaches I've seen are in Borneo and none more fine than those on Malaysia's Mantanani Island.
Rivalling beaches that can be found in Indonesia, Mantanani is located about an hour and a half from Kota Kinabalu by road and then a 45-minute boat ride.
Accommodation options are quite limited, but there is a backpackers' option, Mari Mari, and they can organise your transport there too — transfer to and from the island costs 270 ringgit per person, picking up at 08:00 from Wismah Sabah in Kota Kinabalu. A variety of rooms are on offer, from dorms with shared bathroom go for 50 ringgit through to singles with private bathroom for 200 ringgit.
A homestay option is currently being finished in one of the kampungs; this would be the right choice if you're a community-minded traveller and is expected to be ready by mid-November 2012. If you do pitch up to stay with a family, do please remember to dress modestly and be aware that no alcohol or pork should be brought into their houses in line with their Islamic faith. It should cost 60-70 ringgit per person inclusive of meals.
Normal tropical island activities are on offer here, including snorkelling and diving by most of the tour companies who operate on Mantanani. However, there is nothing stopping you from just enjoying your surroundings and doing nothing all day, napping from hammock to hammock and watching the waves lap up the pristine white sand.
There is an opportunity for volunteering through Blue Life, an NGO working closely with the local community to set up a homestay programme. Food is offered at Mari Mari and will be provided at the homestay, but other than this food options are scarce bar the odd corner shop in the kampung which sells anything from fishing wire to cream crackers.
The great thing about Mantanani is that it's not a resort island, but an actual place where people live (lucky them!). Amid the aquamarine waters you'll find well used, weather-worn fishing boats bobbing up and down to the beat of the South China Sea, while cows use the cover of the jetty as shelter from the heat.
If what you want is a highly developed tourist hotspot, Mantanani is not for you. If you are looking for somewhere that oozes kampung charm and authenticity, however, then do come here!
With authenticity also comes reality; rubbish is a problem on the island and it may well be that your fellow sunbathers are actually plastic bottles and sweet wrappers. A few projects by NGOs and others are trying to tackle this problem but for now this remains the biggest problem on Mantanani.

Read our Privacy Policy.
An unkempt man, one of the poorer smallfolk, and possibly somewhat touched in the head.
When Bran Stark lies in a coma after being thrown from the tower by Ser Jaime Lannister, the assassin is sent to kill him before he wakes up. However, Lady Catelyn is unexpectedly present at her son's side—the fire set as a diversion has not drawn her away as intended—and she tries to fight the assassin off. He injures her with his dagger of Valyrian steel but then Bran's direwolf, Summer, runs in and leaps on the assassin, tearing his throat out.
The Westeros network consists of several different sites, including a forum and a wiki, for all your A Song of Ice and Fire needs.

A car started on fire at the Albertson's on 12th street around 8 p.m.
A volunteer was picking up food for the Alzheimer's Walk when her vehicle burst into flames.
The food is salvagable, but the owner of the vehicle doesn't have fire coverage.
To help her cover the costs the Alzheimer's Association is setting up a fund to help raise money.
The fund will be available on Monday at the Alpine Bank.
The Alzheimer's Association is asking anyone who can help to contact them.

It hasn't even been a month since Amazon publicly released the Kindle's update to v3.0.1, but now it seems that the company is already in the preview stage for its next big update. The previous update brought with it a few stable fixes to help improvement, as well as on-device account creation. And, while it was listed as going Over the Air (OTA) "in the next few weeks," that's not stopping Amazon from moving on ahead with development.
As for the updated software and what it brings to the latest generation Kindle device, Amazon says that it offers "Web browser and general performance improvements." It's not a laundry list of improvements or feature additions, but any kind of fix is a good one. All you need to do is drag and drop the file onto your Kindle, and then go through the steps to manually update your Kindle. After you wait a few minutes, your Kindle will be on a version number from the future, and you can show that off to all your friends.

My name is Saima, and I'm a volunteer for Expanding Opportunities (EO). From January to July, 2006, I lived at and worked for EO's orphanage in Mangu, Kenya. This orphanage is called the Joseph Waweru Home School (JWHS), and it provides a home for eight boys who would otherwise be living on the streets or with relatives who couldn't take care of them. While I was at the JWHS, I mostly worked in the surrounding gardens. I also wrote newspaper articles and newsletters to raise awareness about the organization, helped the boys with homework, and just hung out.
Jesse came with me to volunteer at the JWHS. He just graduated from Dalhousie University, where he'd been studying computer science. While at the JWHS, he mostly worked on EO's websites. He also wrote promotional pieces about the organization, and programmed tools to make what I wrote look presentable.
Jesse and I were accompanied to Kenya by Bev Stone, EO's Executive Director, and eight other volunteers, who stayed between 2 weeks and 3 months. The other volunteers helped in local schools, brought donations to hospitals and worked on improving the JWHS grounds.
Food is one aspect of our lives in Kenya that was very different from our lives in North America. Kenyan food is weird and scary when you first encounter it, but after a few months, I really began to look forwards to seeing what Mama Mwangi, the orphanage's "mom" and cook, had prepared for dinner. In this little cookbook, I've recorded some of the most popular Kenyan recipes, along with some vignettes about our experiences that I hope you'll enjoy. Furahia chakula chako! (Enjoy your meal!)

LoB UPDATE!!on July 9th, 2014
Hello, my dear Billbarians,
Your ever-faithful (and in recent months very, VERY quiet Dungeon Master) David here. I know many of you have wondered what's shakin' here at LoB HQ, and why there's been such a delay on strips, on the storyline by Jason and Steve (to complete the very long storyline I began and that Steve was wrapping up), and also, why I've been so silent, and mostly, what's to come… and some other news. So I want to update you, tell you that I'm here, we're all here, and give you some answers, as friends.
Delay on strips, and why: Friends, it's been a tough past 8 months or so, on the personal front for me. And I mean… tough. Bad. Horrible. I don't want to depress you. But I am continuing to work through it, and all is going to be fine. And then, in the midst of my very bad months… a very, very wonderful project took flight, and has taken a LOT of my time, and you are going to love it, and I want you to be a part of it, PLEASE.
BIG NEWS: I have a new syndicated comic strip, by King Features Syndicate, called "Intelligent Life," all about the GEEK life… MY life! You can see it here, as it's only on day 3 of newspaper syndication. Please join me there and make yourselves known! The comic is DAILY, as in SEVEN days a week! www.IntelligentLifeComics.com
Between my very, VERY bad past several months, and my new wonderful syndicated-daily-comic-strip that saved me from said bad months, and the need to take on a ton of commissions, plus day job, plus kids, it's all been very time-consuming (and some things very wonderful), but my time had stretched thin, and for a good while there I couldn't even think straight (due to the the personal stuff, not the new daily comic). But I have a good group of guys here at LoB. And GREAT fans of LoB. A real team. You're all keeping it real. And we are moving forward and getting things moving properly, albeit SLOWLY. And YOU are still here. YOU care. And I value each of you so very much.
Storyline wrap-up: The storyline I'm referring to is the very loooong one I began a few years back, and that, in my absence, Steve Ogden and I (I only provided plot points, Steve wrote and drew it, beautifully) was carrying on and bringing to a close… I promised you a wrap of it with Steve writing, and Jason drawing, and I'm to blame for its delay… I hope you can forgive… this is, as it has always been, a labor of love, sort of like a big public Friday night of a super-fun role-playing gaming where EVERYONE is invited… and I am only one cartoonist (with some GREAT friends, might I add… Ringo was right, "I get by with a little help from my friends."), and I do a LOT of stuff… but LoB is NEVER forgotten… anyway… I've got plot points here. Don is working on some writing as well. We're working on these. In 10-20 strips I want to wrap the storyline as it's sooooo close to what I want it to be. And then? Back to basics. I want Bill… Frank… WANDERING around and being Bill and Frank. And Gina… and the Dark Queen… being Gina and the Dark Queen. And what of Sir Lance? Or Kruul? Or that NARCOLEPTIC HORSE that has no name? We need to know. *I* need to know. Let's journey together and find out. But I beg for your patience. And I ask you to join me at my daily comic strip. For LoB's storyline wrap-up, it'll entail someone else drawing (likely me writing, or Steve, or Don, or all… and possibly Jason Williams of past Barwench Tales fame, drawing). I might draw some. It may be a team effort. Not sure yet. YOU are part of this team.
At the moment, it is impossible for me to keep a regular schedule on LoB, because I have to survive on things that pay the bills and demand a lot of time. I need clones. But I love what i do. Deeply. I hope you understand, and check in, and help us continue the journey.
Other news:
- Legend of Bill continues to run in Renaissance Magazine and occasionally in Knights of the Dinner Table magazine. Check 'em out!
- I'm updating some single strips with Bill and Frank… not part of the storyline that was running, but fun stuff for me, that I want to share with you. Next week will even see a commissioned LoB, where I drew the most excellent John Glynn, the President of Universal Uclick into the strip. (Thanks, John!)
- I have been told that LoB has been approved for inclusion into Comixology. We are planning a 3-volume "book" set there. I just need to draw the covers. Ideas for covers? I'd love to hear 'em. I need to do these. Time is thin, but tell me what you'd like to see.
- www.IntelligentLifeComics.com. Please join me there. Every day. Please support my new comic as you support LoB. YOU are integral to its "life." BOOKMARK. SHARE. RSS Feed it. Be PART of it, please! I need your support more than ever.
BIG thanks to Don, Jim, Kevin and Steve for keeping the ship afloat. And to Jason Williams for still being part of the family and supporting us here, always. Check out Jason's Gallimore comic! You'll love it.
More to come. I genuinely CARE about your readership, and your being here. Each of us here do. I'm sorry LoB has been in stasis… I promise you I'm doing the best I can, always.
Yours Faithful Cartoonist and Friend,

I was lucky enough to receive these from my partner for my birthday which was on the 6th (a little belated as they took a while to arrive!). They're all books with cover illustrations by Dick Bruna. He's infamous for his Miffy and children's book illustrations so it was such a great discovery when we visited an exhibition of his work at Dick Bruna Huis in Utrecht, Holland a couple of years ago.
Below are some photos from our visit and the book I purchased fro the museum shop.

FEB 21, 2013 - The Economist
A Must Read - Share
THE apocalyptic streak of the North Korean regime is showing. On February 19th, a week after its third test of a nuclear bomb, one of its officials, attending (of all things) a United Nations meeting about disarmament, compared South Korea and its condemnation of the test to "a newborn puppy" that "knows no fear of a tiger". He then threatened its "final destruction". For good measure, a North Korean government agency with the job of releasing improving videos on YouTube posted one showing American soldiers and Barack Obama consumed by flames, with a cartoon simulation of a nuclear test.

Invoca, maker of marketing software that makes actionable data out of phone calls, wants to prove that you can get just as much data out of inbound calls as you can taking customer service online.
The company received $20 million in its third round of funding today led by Accel Partners.
"The simple facts are that inbound phone calls drive much higher close rates and higher purchase values than closing on the Internet. The numbers tell the story," said Invoca chief executive Jason Spievak in a statement.
Invoca's software lets marketers send out specified phone numbers for potential customers to call and then monitors those calls. Data collected from those phone calls can help marketers target better and otherwise improve their tactics. It focuses on larger Fortune 1000 companies.
Many companies have turned toward online-only purchasing avenues in order to collect as much data about the transaction as possible. The thought is that data can be lost in purchases that occur over the phone because though voices are recorded, there aren't as many data points to touch on.
Invoca, however, is challenging that thought. Indeed, Spievak says he believes companies will see an uptick in inbound calls due to smartphones, despite the fact that these devices are almost constantly connected to the Internet and online-based transaction portals.
In order to maintain the data-richness that its clients crave, Invoca includes attribution and analytics tools, as well as integrations with third-party marketing technologies such as Salesforce, Kenshoo, HubSpot, and more. It also has its own "programmatic marketing automation" technology built in.
Invoca is headquartered in Santa Barbara, Calif. and was founded in 2008. Upfront Ventures and Rincon Venture Partners also participated in this round. Both are previous investors in Invoca.
Invoca is the industry-leading provider of enterprise inbound call marketing solutions. The cloud-based platform delivers complete campaign management, clear attribution, practical analytics... All Invoca news »

Wichita Police are searching for copper thieves who caused thousands of dollars in damage to a south Wichita recycling company.
It happened sometime Monday night at Cornejo and Sons near K-15 and I-135. Detectives said someone broke into the business and stole wire off the plant and acetylene bottles. The damage is valued at $100,000.
Jon Lewman, Cornejo and Sons, said the plant will also have to be shut down for about two weeks for repairs.
"We did find small burnt wire, but if you were to tap into one of those bigger lines, we could of came in here to a guy laying there fried on the ground," Lewman said.
This is the second time in recent months copper thieves have hit a Cornejo plant.

Apple Launches its Much Anticipated iPhone

Steve Jobs says Apple's changing the world again
MacWorld 2007 -- Apple today officially unveiled its iPhone which, as many had been hoping for, is quite a revolutionary product indeed. Steve Jobs heralded the iPhone as an industry-changing device that throws out old assumptions and conventions and brings in the new. With all of its features and design cues, the iPhone should prove to be an extremely hot device.
The largest feature on the plate for the iPhone is clearly its display. The iPhone packs a 3.5-inch display with a resolution density of 160 dpi, one of the sharpest screens in the industry. In fact, the screen takes up virtually the entire surface area of the iPhone. There's no keyboard or direction stick on the iPhone, just a big screen. The iPhone operates entirely on touch-screen technology and is something that Apple had been working on for a long time.
last reported that Apple had submitted
filings with the FCC for touch screen technology involving intuitive gestures
. Many assumed that the technology
would be used in a next-generation iPod
, but today it made its debut on the iPhone.
Users are able to navigate the iPhone by using a virtual keyboard that's smart enough to know when accidental tapping occurs. The screen also takes in gestures such as scrolling, pinching and stretching motions. The screen itself is also smart. The user interface automatically changes from portrait mode to landscape mode depending on how a user holds the phone. The virtual keyboard can be called up and tuckd away at any time.
Music is very much part of the iPhone and Apple does not disappoint. Integrated into the iPhone are all the usual iPod features that many users have come to love. Music and iTunes syncing, album artwork support, smart playlist features and, most importantly, movie playback. Steve Jobs demonstrated the iPhone playing back Pirates of the Caribbean 2 in full screen.
In terms of applications, the iPhone supports the usual set of smart-phone features: email, text messaging, web support, address books, photo, video and music playback. However, the iPhone uses smaller versions of applications already used on its Macs. Jobs demonstrated browsing the Internet on the iPhone using Safari -- full websites loaded very quickly and in full detail. Lest there be any doubt, the audience was definitely impressed by the iPhone's speed and rendering capabilities. Users can even pinch the screen to shrink webpages on the fly to fit the screen. Email capabilities are in full force too with support for such sophisticated features as full HTML email support and even IMAP supported through Yahoo! email.
The iPhone's operating system is based on a slim version of Apple's powerful OS X. One of the neatest features on the iPhone is the support for widgets -- the same tiny utility-type applications found on OS X's Dashboard. Jobs demonstrated navigating Google's virtual satellite mapping system and how easy it was to get around applications and widgets on the iPhone's touch-sensitive navigation system. Of course, being OS X, all graphical animations and transitions were silky smooth.
Jobs indicated that the iPhone was also a workhorse. The unit can talk for roughly 5 hours and play back audio for 16 hours. There will be two GSM models released, a 4GB model and an 8GB model, for sale at an introductory price of $499 and $599. As
previously reported, the
iPhone is confirmed today to be a Cingular Wireless exclusive product
. The demo iPhone that Jobs showed already had a Cingular log on it.

This junk? Really?
Ya, I've got a NTT Docomo P901iS phone. Works great. Email, messaging, internet, mp3, vids, tv, camera, microSD, games, can be used as train pass, can be used as credit card, can be used to unlock doors, can be used as a tv remote, bar code reader, and a slew of other features. It cost me 5000 yen (just under $50 USD) for the phone. Also the phone is outdated by a couple of years. The 903i series phones have been released a while back, adding more features to the already huge list.
I'm sorry, but the most advanced phones are sitting in Japan. Why not, instead of coming out with a stupid touchscreen phone, try to bring the features the Japanese currently have on cheap $50 phones to the US.
It kills me every time I have to go to the states for classes, family visits, etc. I would like to get a cheap vodaphone to use in the states, but they all have crap for features. Even the highest end models have crap for features. Instead, I ended up just paying for worldwide use on my phone.
"We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

What are you talking about? The first rule of the game is self-preservation. Every Nigerian politician knows that so long as Obasanjo is interested in a third-term, they dare not make their interest public. You think those governors who endorsed his third-term bid are stupid and foolish for doing so? Tell me, are they? Self-preservation, Reuben; self-preservation, my man! Secondly, their argument is this: "if Obasanjo can...why not us?" Power and money is intoxicating.
If you oppose President Obasanjo, or as much as look at him in a funny way, the EFCC will come after you. The police and the tax people will come after you. Your business license will be revoked. Your contract will be terminated. This and that and that and this will happen to you. Funny and dangerous things will happen to any politician who is foolish enough to declare his or her interest in the presidency when Obasanjo is still scheming to be a perpetual president.
And again, except for a handful, Nigerian politicians have soiled their hands, sold their souls and mortgaged their future. Obasanjo has a dossier on all of them. And they know it. To that extent therefore, President Olusegun Obasanjo is a very dangerous man. By his actions and pronouncements, he is stunting Nigeria's democracy; he is stunting Nigeria's growth and development.
The man is at once interested in and not interested in a third-term. He is at once a tyrant and a democrat. He must be pushed, forced, lured, encourage or kicked out; otherwise, this fellow is going to be around, beyond 2007. It is unfortunate that we don't have more than 2-5 men and women of courage and valor to tell him to his face that he is not wanted or needed after his term expires in 2007. The institutions are also not there to "guide him out." It's so sad and so unfortunate.
If Obasanjo thinks he is cornier than the fox, and then act on his ambition, he will find out how much he is truly hated by Nigerians. Even the unborn Nigerians hate him for being so incompetent, wasteful and forgetful of history. Let him go ahead and act on his lurid dreams -- history and posterity will be waiting for him.
