City Loses Ten Percent of Its Ambulance Tours in One Day
One of the city's largest private ambulance companies ceased operations Wednesday night after filing for bankruptcy. It comes at the same time the city is struggling to reduce ambulance response times.
TransCare operated 27 ambulances in the Bronx and Manhattan for seven hospitals and employed 200 EMT's and paramedics. It also responded to 911 calls. The shutdown means a loss of 81 ambulance tours, or ten percent of shifts citywide, with a greater impact in the affected boroughs.
"The Fire Department has been aware for several months of the financial difficulties faced by TransCare," FDNY Commissioner Daniel Nigro said in a statement. He added the department, "has developed contingency plans — both short and long term — in anticipation of" the announcement.
Those plans include additional FDNY units staffed on overtime to fill the vacancies left by TransCare, along with a survey of private hospital and third-party providers to determine if they can also pick up shifts.
"The city has full faith in FDNY's ability to provide uninterrupted EMS services throughout our five boroughs and will work closely with the department as they continue to implement their long-term strategy for enhancing EMS service delivery," said mayoral spokeswoman Monica Klein.
Over the last year, the city has beefed up its investment in EMS, adding 45 new ambulance tours last year and nearly 20 more proposed for this year.
But the sudden loss of Transcare means the city now has fewer tours than it did before those new investments.
On Tuesday, FDNY Chief James Leonard testified at a City Council hearing that the department knows response times are too high.
"I know the number needs to go down," said Leonard.
Fire and Criminal Justice Chair Elizabeth Crowley, who led the Council hearing, said she was "surprised" when she learned about the TransCare shutdown.
The city uses a mix of ambulances from FDNY EMS, private hospitals, volunteer units and other private companies.
"I think it would be a more reliable service if it was 100% run by the FDNY," Crowley said.
When Vincent Variale, head of the Uniformed EMS Officers Union, found out TransCare was shuttering, he reached out to his members in FDNY EMS to find out who could help the department cover the vacant shifts by working overtime.
He also said the department should stop using private ambulances.
"Peoples' lives are on the line," said Variale. "We have to have something more dependable out there to service the people."

I sent Casio Atomic Solar watch in for repair due accident on motorcycle the Crystal and Watch Band Mounts were scratched. On phone they told me it was all included in one piece, that is how Casio sold the parts so it would all come back as new.
They kept watch for months then when I called to inquire they could not find it so I produced a certified copy of it sent to them, they found it and stated 50.00 would cover the repair.
A month later they sent watch to me after I was made to prepay. The watch was just as I had sent it in.
They stated they made a mistake on what parts to replace, they replaced the band and chrome piece around the crystal (these were not scratched or in need of replacing when I sent it in). They told me I needed to send them 25.00 more and to return the watch to have the Crystal and Wrist Band Mounts Replaced.
I will be contacting them for refund request yet feel they will not, so I will also contact Visa to do a dispute. I will also contact Casio where they showed up as a repair site. In addition to this report filed.

Neurosurgeon, Orthopedic/Spine Surgeon and Physical Medicine/Rehabilitation Specialist Collaborate for Optimal Patient Results
Baptist Health Floyd's newly opened Spine Center features a unique model of patient care rarely available under one roof. Three physicians, Neurosurgeon Michael Doyle, MD, Orthopedic/ Spine Surgeon Mohammad Majd, MD and Physical Medicine/ Rehabilitation Specialist, Rodney Chou, MD, collaborate in a one-of-a-kind partnership to provide superior solutions to complex conditions-sometimes even extending their teamwork into the operating room.
"One of the most common difficulties spinal patients encounter is that their treatment is incredibly fragmented. They have to visit multiple physicians and undergo multiple testing procedures in different locations, with large spans of time between each visit before they are actually ready to receive treatment. Under this new model, we'll be able to expedite the treatment process in a way that no other facility in the area can. With the best experts all available in one location, this is truly the region's most comprehensive spine center."
Michael Doyle, MD
Board Certified Neurosurgeon
Baptist Health Floyd Spine Center
A Wide Range of Expertise in One Location
Spinal injuries or disorders can be some of the most debilitating conditions a patient can suffer from, affecting nearly every aspect of their life. An active, independent lifestyle free from pain and with the freedom to participate in enjoyable activities is the basic goal that every person suffering from back pain wants to achieve, and it's more than an attainable goal at the Baptist Health Floyd Spine Center.
"Our aim in establishing the Spine Center at Baptist Health Floyd was to simplify the spinal care process for our patients," explained Dr. Chou. "Patients with spinal conditions can spend an enormous amount of time making appointments with different specialists and having various tests done in different facilities before they are finally able to get the care that's most appropriate for their condition.
"Having access to such a wide range of spinal care specialists and treatment options in one location is incredibly unique. Each patient is cared for by a team of highly trained and qualified professionals working in collaboration with one another towards the same common goal. It sounds simple, but is truly a huge step forward in the treatment of spinal conditions."
Mohammad Majd, MD
Orthopedic and Spine Surgeon
Baptist Health Floyd Spine Center
This is far from what we envision as optimal patient care. Spinal conditions need to be diagnosed and treated as quickly and efficiently as possible to minimize the injury to the spine and the rest of the body so the patient can get back to doing the things they love to do. Creating a Spine Center with all the necessary specialists, tests and treatment options under one roof ensures that the patient's physicians, nurses and therapists are all working in conjunction with one another towards the same common goal-the successful treatment and rehabilitation of that patient."
A Simple and Efficient Model of Care
The Center will operate under a very patient-centric model aimed at making the spinal care process as simple and easy for patients as possible. Anyone interested in a consultation at the Center may call the main phone line at 812-949-5933 or 1-877-487-5933.
Most patients that schedule an appointment will see Dr. Chou at their first visit. He will perform an evaluation, order any necessary tests and determine the best course of treatment, whether that be a referral for conservative treatment, or when indicated, a consultation with a surgeon. For added patient convenience, the Spine Center coordinator will assist with scheduling appointments as well as any other diagnostic tests ordered by the physician. The coordinator will also ensure timely follow-up with patients and help to maintain continuity of care within the Spine Center by maintaining communication and updates with each patient's referring physician.
"This model of care ensures that patients are seeing the specialists that are most appropriate for their specific condition. Many patients seek the care of spinal surgeons because they're not sure whom else to see. These patients can be in the care of physical medicine and rehabilitation physicians, while surgeons can be caring for patients eligible for corrective repair."
Rodney Chou, MD
Board Certified Physical Medicine
and Rehabilitation Specialist
Baptist Health Floyd Spine Center
In addition to the Center's excellent panel of physicians and surgeons, Manual and McKenzie certified physical therapists with a wealth of experience in conservative rehabilitation options are also on hand, in addition to an extensive in-house Pain Management Center.
Technology and Training You Can Count on
Convenience and timeliness of treatment are important, but pale in comparison to the importance of access to the latest technologies and physicians who are well versed and up-to-date on the most cutting edge procedures. The Baptist Health Floyd Spine Center boasts all of these and more. "I have complete confidence in treating my patients at Baptist Health Floyd," said Dr. Majd. "Minimally invasive procedures that lessen trauma to the spine, require shorter hospital stays and enable quicker recoveries are undoubtedly the direction spinal surgery is headed. Many patients think they need to cross the river to have access to facilities that have the technology to carry out these procedures, but that is simply not true.
Baptist Health Floyd has committed itself to investing in the latest technologies and treatment modalities." Dr. Doyle further elaborated on the advantages to this unique model of care, "As a neurosurgeon, I am grateful for the opportunity the Spine Center affords me to work along-side an orthopedic/spine surgeon such as Dr. Majd. We can work together in the operating room on complicated cases, bringing a more comprehensive approach to the procedure and ultimately ensuring a better outcome for the patient."

BOSTON, Monday—My reading material has been varied the last few days. I have reviewed a thrilling boys' novel for the Junior Literary Guild, and last evening I read Harpers Magazine practically from cover to cover. If anyone cares to read something which will give them plenty of food for thought I think they will find the article by C. Hartley Grattan "Back to work: When and Where?" very interesting. After all, the most vital question to many people in this country today is not only how to get back to work, but how to get to work if they have never had any work experience before. Everyone who has a job must be interested in this question for the tenure of his job depends upon our ability to keep other people at work and on putting young people as they come to working age into jobs which will provide them with a living wage.
I saw an article in yesterday's paper stating that $3600 a year was really the minimum on which an average family could lead a satisfactory existence, and most of us know that a very great percentage of our people see only from $200 to $600 cash in hand during the course of a year, and many, many others have incomes under $1000 or ranging from $1000 to $2000 a year. This problem involves so many people that we cannot just say "Let the government solve it." We, as a people, must solve it by deciding on the type of social and economic philosophy which we wish to see established in this country. When we know what changes we want, we can then set government machinery to work to accomplish them, but the people themselves must know what it is they wish to do.
The first article in Harper's called "The Provincial Lady in Moscow" is a delightful travel article, and I recommend it when you need to laugh. The little touch about keeping the door open to let the cockroach out was quite delightful.
People are being so very kind—the waiters who bring in our food—the taxi-drivers, all Franklin's friends and our own are more than thoughtful, but we still live a quiet and monotonous existence waiting round the hospital or the hotel.
Things seem to be progressing smoothly however, and for that we are all grateful. We have made one innovation and we walk from here to the hospital or back at least twice a day. I am discovering that the City of Boston has innumerable quaint small shops down equally intriguing little streets, and someday I know I shall be weak and begin to investigate them, which will make my walk a very much longer one.
1. The phrase "in Harper's" did not appear in the draft version. It appears on a published version of the column (ELPH, 29 December 1936, p. 6).

PHNOM PENH, Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- The Cambodian government launched Thursday the 2011 Measles Immunization Campaign aimed to vaccinate all infants and children aged from 9 months to 5 years with one dose of measles vaccine.
At a special ceremony in Phnom Penh and attended by the Minister of Health, Governor of Phnom Penh Municipality and representatives of health development partners, Mam Bun Heng, minister of health said"the 2011 Measles Immunization Campaign aims to vaccinate all infants and children aged from 9 months to 5 years with one dose of measles vaccine".
Over 1,500,000 children will be vaccinated, and the immunization campaign will run from February till late March 2011.
The Minister of Health reported that the 2011 Measles Immunization Campaign has the full support of the Government of Cambodia, and is seen as vital in further strengthening health services delivery, especially for communities in hard to reach areas that rely on outreach services from the local health center.
The Ministry of Health, along with 35 other countries and territories in the Western Pacific, have committed to achieving the national goal of the elimination of measles by 2012.
Measles continues to cause significant death and disability worldwide, especially in young infants and children, despite an effective and safe vaccine that prevents measles infection being available for many years now.
According to official data released by the Ministry of Health, measles outbreaks have been occurring in Cambodia in recent years, and 2010 had the largest number of children contracting measles.
Dr. Pieter van Maaren, representative of the World Health Organization Country noted at the ceremony that"the success of this measles immunization campaign is vital for Cambodia achieving its national goal of measles elimination by 2012, and preventing further outbreaks of measles in the country.
Between now and the end of March, the Ministry of Health will be dispatching vaccination teams, supported by village health support group throughout the country.

1. What is the main problem that has caused Minnesota to get off to a 2-4 start?
Oh Lord. MAIN problem? I'd like to say Favre because I personally find it enjoyable to blame everything on him, but I'd say more so coaching and unrealistic expectations that this team would get the same bounces and performance as they did last year. But Favre definitely has something to do with it, that bastard.
2. With six sacks in six games, what do you think is the reason Minnesota has not had more sacks like the quarterback like they did a year ago?
Don't know the actual reason to this either. Their running defense has looked weaker too. I'd guess some of this is age. I'd guess some of it is people figuring out how to play the team now. The main reason probably is closer to the fact that the defense hasn't been playing with a lead hardly at all, which means they have to play more honest and can't just rear back and rush the passer every down. Also, teams don't have to throw as much, or as many deep patterns, making it harder to get sacks. like the Patriots did last time these two teams played, I see them dinking and dunking and negating a pass rush again this week.
3. I know it will only be Week 8, but do you think Brett Favre finishes the year as the starting quarterback for the Vikings? If not, do you have a guess of when Childress will go to Tarvaris Jackson at QB?
There's a ton of talk about Childress switching to TarVar this week already, but I don't think it happens. Favre is getting $16 Million this year and he's retiring at the end of the year before I hunt him down. There's no way he sits. And if you put TarVar in that's just like losing anyway. I hope the team rides Favre down this Titanic and gets the Vikings in position to use a high draft pick on a legit franchise QB FINALLY.
4. What do you make of Brad Childress as a head coach?
He's terrible. Poor clock management, questionable playcalling, largely unlikable, and he has a stupid mustache. I think the general feeling around Minneapolis is much the same as well.
5. What weaknesses do you see in New England that you think Minnesota can exploit? What weaknesses in Minnesota can New England exploit?
Uh …. Do you stop the run well? Because that's all Minnesota's got, and that's BARELY worth noting. Maybe utilizing Percy Harvin in more odd ball rolls to throw your defense off, but that would mean our coach would have to think that play up, which I promise you he won't. As I said before, I think the Patriots will throw quick, short passes to keep the Vikings on their heels, and eat the clock. Belichick will confuse our overrated offensive line with exotic blitzes as well, and you won't really have much of a game.
6. At season's end, do you think the Vikings will make the playoffs?
Eh, maybe. The team still has a chance to turn things around if the offense ever decides to not be a bunch of idiots. I think they could sneak in as a wild card or even still win the terrible NFC North division. The Bears currently are the leaders, and they are terrible, so that says all you need to know. I think if the Vikings D can play with a lead ever, they're still good enough to be a scary defensive team in the playoffs.
7. Your thoughts on the Randy Moss trade? How do you think Moss will be received by Patriots' fans on Sunday?
Minnesota fans loved Randy way more than New England fans ever did, I can promise you that. I get the feeling Pats fans won't really care. You guys always run people through and don't give it second thought, it seems like. You also have a propensity to steal Minnesota athletes and win with them, which we're all really happy with. I think Viking fans love the Moss trade even if we don't win. I know I don't care about the wins, I would pay that guy $16 Million instead of Favre just to make my weeks interesting
8. Where do you put New England in terms of the best in the AFC?
They're up there. The whole NFL is so screwy this year, I don't think you can really make a correct assumption about any team. I think the Jets and the Steelers are the two best AFC teams, easily. The Patriots, are probably top five, but I don't know if I could really put teams in order right now. It's something about their offense right now that keeps them from being elite, I feel. That might be crap though, because what do I know, I cheer for the Vikings!
9. What is your one main key to the game, and a prediction?
The key is going to be Favre's health. If he's out, or not up to full speed, the Pats defense will take him and the Vikings to the woodshed, and it won't even be close. I don't think even anyone in Minnesota expects the Vikings to win this week, and a lot of it is because of how terrible the offense has been and how underwhelming the defense has been. When it comes down to it, I see the Pats winning by like two touchdowns, something like 31-17 or so. It'll be ugly.

14th day
540 miles today. Left Nevada traveled thru Arizona, Utah & finally Colorado. We are now in Glenwood Springs. Funny thing we have been out west in '05, '10 & now '14. Every time I plan a trip the mileage just seems to bring us to this town. Every time we also eat at a local Mexican place (MaryAnn....Ola!!!!!). Nice little town about mid state. So it was another hot one, with a very scary storm that we skirted around in Utah. We got to a ...
Glenwood Springs - GREAT little town
Since we had to modify our trip and didn't go south to the Grand Canyon, Santa Fe and Durango we ended up going to Rifle Range Falls campground in CO which was about 25 miles east of Glenwood, Co. What a great campground. The sort of place you think of when you say you are going to go camping in Colorado. Way out in the woods with just a few places for campers to set up. Set back against a huge cliff with three separate waterfalls cascading ...
Rafting and Zip Line
... and walk now after setting off. Our guide, Jeremy, was very nice and we had a blast. By the end we all wished we could have done the rapids (class IV) all over again.
Zip line was fun too. They had a little ropes course that you walked over too. I went with Mr. Aguglia and he bounced a bit, sending me spinning and getting dizzy nearly unable to stand up straight and get across. I put on a great show!
Getting ready for some fun.
We got to the campground (not bad location, less truckstop like...) the plan was decided for tomorrow, whitewater rafting and zip line adventure. A little coaxing was needed for a few of the members, but it would be a go!
Much warmer, needed air-conditioning on. ...

Paul Myers, better known as the science blogger Pharyngula, has been sued for libel by Stuart Pivar, author of Lifecode.
Pivar, a wealthy art collector, alleged Stephen Jay Gould buddy and Renaissance-throwback science hobbyist, published Lifecode in 2004. The press release accompanying its recent re-issue describes the tome as
… an alternative theory of evolution which contends that the embryo is formed by self-organization, as are crystals, rather than by a genetic code subject to natural selection. Accompanying illustrations depict hypothetical construction blueprints for the various body forms. Biological Self-organization has long been a contending alternate theory for the code of life; recent proponents include evolutionary biologists Stephen Jay Gould and Brian Goodwin.
Now, organismal self-organization is one of the great mysteries of science: how does a single cell end up as a sea anemone or Paris Hilton? We understand the parts, but not the rules.
Pivar's book wasn't terrible, depending on who you talked to. (Read a review from the International Journal of Developmental Biology here.) But even that article, which considered Lifecode a valid entry into scientific conversation regardless of its amateur origins, said the book had problems.
On Pharyngula, Myers was pointed in his criticisms:
The doodles in this book bear absolutely no relationship to anything that goes on in real organisms, but after staring at them for a while,
I realized what this book is actually about.
This book is a description of the development and evolution of balloon animals.
Maybe if Myers hadn't included a long, technical evaluation to the balloon animal snark, Pivars might — theoretically — have had a very outside shot at a case. But in that post and elsewhere, Myers gets into the scientific flaws of Pivar's theories. What he says falls well short of the American definition of libel, which requires that a claim be false.The meat of
Myers' criticisms are quite substantial.
Pivar's case is clearly empty. And given his wealth, he can undoubtedly afford better legal advice. So what's the deal? I'm guessing that it's just a PR stunt. What better way to sell your book than get the blogosphere boiling, in the hope that the lawsuit becomes a full-blown — and wholly undeserved — controversy?
And here I am, covering it. Damn the system.
Update: Scientific American's Christopher Mims just wrote to say, "What if PZ didn't work for Seed? If people start going after individual bloggers without the resources to defend themselves, that would have a chilling effect on the whole field." He's right. And it's a scary thought.

Marijuana's federal status could change
U.S. Attorney General wants to consider removing drug from most-dangerous list
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The growing acceptance of legalized marijuana may have the federal government reconsidering its stance on categorizing the drug as dangerous and illegal.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said he's willing to discuss with Congress the possibility of removing marijuana from the federal list of most-dangerous drugs -- a list which includes cocaine and heroin.
Holder's comments come after a series of Congressional hearings on marijuana, and with pending legislation that would, among other things, downgrade the drug as a controlled substance.
The continuing conflict with marijuana is based on the fact that it is legal in several states but remains illegal at the federal level.
Bob Wiley is a marijuana advocate who belongs to Sensible Colorado and the Colorado Springs Medical Cannabis Council. He said he's surprised, but glad, to hear of Holder's comment.
"Hopefully, it's sincere on his part, and he'll work with Congress and the Drug Enforcement Administration," Wiley said.
Wiley said Holder or President Obama each have the authority to downgrade marijuana, but he doubts either will. Several members of Congress have made a similar request.
Holder said he wants to rely on the "great degree of expertise that exists in Congress" before making a decision.
Downgrading or rescheduling marijuana also has medical implications that have a major effect on the military.
"We've tried to have research for Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans who have post-traumatic stress disorder," Wiley said. "That research has been blocked by our federal government. They wouldn't allow the research to continue if it mentioned marijuana."
Rescheduling marijuana also would bring tax and banking benefits to marijuana-related businesses. Accounting and tax filings would become more normal, and businesses would have greater access to banks.
Sherri Dodd of Colorado Springs said she supports taking marijuana off the federal list.
"I think marijuana's probably safer than alcohol or tobacco," she said. "If anything, if you're not going to take marijuana off the list, I think they should put alcohol on it, because it's dangerous."
However, Steve Luera of Colorado Springs, a former marijuana user, believes marijuana should remain on the list.
"In my personal situation, I think it led me down some dark alleys that maybe were good learning experiences and might have been fun, but I don't know if they really improved my life that much," he said.

Marc Savard set to play in Game 7, no Bruins lineup changes
|05.14.09 at 12:01 pm ET
Bruins center Marc Savard isn't going to let a knee injury stop him from skating in Game 7 against the Carolina Hurricanes on Thursday night, and B's head coach Claude Julien said that his crafty pivot will be in the lineup. Savard suffered a knee-on-knee hit from Carolina winger Chad LaRose in the third period of Game 6, and exited the game early after Julien sent him to the dressing room.
Julien indicated on Thursday morning following the pre-game skate that the Bruins will skate the same lineup that took the ice in an impressive 4-2 victory over the Candy Canes on Tuesday night. That means Byron Bitz, who impressed with his blue collar work along the back wall with puck possession, will again skate with David Krejci and Michael Ryder.
"We'll have the same lineup tonight (as Game 6)," said Julien. "There shouldn't be any changes."
–Julien and his veteran players said that the most important key to success in the Game 7 setting is staying composed and keeping panic and chaos out of a game that can very easily spiral out of control.
The weight and pressure of season elimination can be a divisive influence that can pry a player out of their comfort zone and get a team out of their game plan — and Julien stressed it was important for his team to stick with the style of play that's resulted in two straight wins leading up to Thursday night.
"It's being composed. Being composed. You saw it in the game last night in Pittsburgh that they were able to come out and play their game and they were successful," said Julien. "You've got to be composed. I thought even last year in Montreal in Game 7 during the first period in Montreal, we were the better team.
"But sometimes you need the breaks and then (the Canadiens) got another goal in the second to make it 2-0. Had we stayed probably a little more composed, we could have battled back and got ourselves back into the game. But we were a young team last year. You hope what the young guys learned last year was to handle the pressure situation of Game 7 much better."
–B's center Stephane Yelle is playing in his 12th career Game 7 tonight against the Carolina Hurricanes, which is tops among all active NHL players and ranks him second in NHL history with Glenn Anderson and Ken Daneyko. The key to success from a guy that's been there nearly a dozen times:
"There'll be chatter before the game like there always is, and if the young guys have questions then they'll usually come and ask them," said Yelle. "Sticking with the game plan and not panicking (is key). When you start panicking you tend to get away from what you should be doing, and usually you feel like there's a ripple effect along the team and things turn to chaos. That's when you lose sight of what you're supposed to do.
"Different personalities will handle differently. I try to learn from my previous ones and go from there. My first year was Patty…Patty Roy and he had played in tons of them already. He was just a great leader and I followed him when I was younger being from Ottawa. I knew what he was all about. I just tried to watch him and see what he was doing (before Game 7)."
–Carolina winger Scott Walker has taken on the role of ultimate villian after sucker-punching Aaron Ward in the third period of Game 5 — and then subsequently skirting by with a simple $2500 slap of a fine — but said he's not going to get rattled by the "Ulf Treatment" at the Garden on Thursday night.
"I played in the minors a lot and it gets rowdy in some of those barns, and obviously in Vancouver it was a lot similar to this. A little bit in the New Jersey it rowdy behind the bench, but you don't really notice it that much. It's such an important game in Game 7 that I don't think the fans will affect the way they play or we play … or myself. It's great for them that they've got something to yell and scream about, but I don't think we'll lose our focus or anything like that."
–There seemed to be some indications out there that a potential Eastern Conference Finals Game 1 against the Pittsburgh Penguins would be scheduled at the TD Banknorth Garden on Sunday — likely Sunday afternoon. Stay tuned for that one because it could be another doubleheader if the Boston Celtics series goes to seven games.

Hundreds of people are expected to descend on the first meeting of the new Hawke's Bay Regional Council today to show their concern that the proposed Ruataniwha dam may not proceed.
They fear a block of four newly-elected councillors may derail the council project.
Federated Farmers is putting their weight behind tomorrow's action, asking "every farmer who can" to drive their ute in the Rally 4 Ruataniwha, meeting at the council's Dalton St offices in Napier at 8.45am, before attending the 9am meeting.
"Ruataniwha is more than a future for farming in Central Hawke's Bay.
"It will prove the common sense of storing water and provides the hinge on the door for other schemes, like the Ngaruroro, to follow," said Federated Farmers Hawke's Bay president Will Foley.
The four new councillors: Rex Graham, Rick Barker, Tom Belford and Peter Beaven were all elected by Hastings District constituencies and have refuted claims they may be loyal to the Grower Action Group (GAG) which helped elect them through a negative election campaign.
The councillors have said they hold concerns that there is not enough information to make an informed decision for or against the Ruataniwha Dam but have dismissed suggestions they are only interested in their own wards.
Their stance is backed by the belief that more thought and assessment should be given to the economic sustainability, benefits and risks, and environmental dangers.
Mr Barker said he was elected to council to look after the interests for "the whole of Hawke's Bay".
"It can't be any other way," he said.
The dam proposal would irrigate up to 30,000ha of CHB land thanks to a 90-million cubic metre reservoir and is before a board of inquiry, along with a council plan change to mitigate effects of increased irrigation run-off into the Tukituki River.
Environmentalists have criticised the plan change for allowing nitrogen levels to rise by several hundred per cent.

At the National Retail Federation Convention this week, IBM and Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions announced a joint solution that will provide seamless cross-channel connectivity, leveraging common data and services, from the store across all channels. This is the only solution in the market that provides a single point of commerce that is extended to the store without combining point solutions that require on-going maintenance of integrations and expensive and time consuming changes whenever business needs change.
Why is this new solution important? Most retailers are challenged to incorporate the store in their cross-channel processes, primarily because of disparate systems and the high cost of integration. However, many retailers have reported that if they cannot integrate cross-channel and digital solutions into their business plan, they will lose sales and revenue. Now, retailers can provide a consistent brand experience for their consumers across all channels including the store to improve consumer satisfaction and share of wallet.
Consumers are expecting new and innovative services from retailers, and those services require greater integration and execution, across all channels. By combining point-of-sale and cross-channel order management capabilities, IBM and Toshiba are delivering an innovative approach to offering those services by enabling various store-to-store and cross-channel scenarios such as:
- Buy online and pick up at the store
- Buy online, delivery to house, exchange at the store
- Buy at store, pick up at alternate store
- Save the sale by finding inventory or alternatives to out of stock items
- Adding services to in store purchase
- Changing service appointment at store for item purchased online
- Increased assortment through endless aisle (one stop shopping for consumer)
- Personalized services or offerings that are driven by 360 degree visibility
With this joint solution, consumers gain a more personalized shopping experience with the ability to seamlessly interact with the retailer how they choose without the delay and inconvenience of the retailer not having updated and accurate customer and inventory information across all channels. For more information, you can read our release, or visit IBM's site.

German software giant SAP has announced plans to expand its strategic partnership with China Telecom into the field of cloud computing.
Under the agreement, China Datacom – a joint venture between SAP and China Telecom subsidiary China Communication Services (CCS) – will offer SAP's cloud services to businesses in China.
According to SAP's statement, CCS will also become the first local customer of SAP's cloud services.
SAP (Walldorf, Germany) and China Telecom (Beijing, China) originally teamed up in 2011 and have worked largely on promoting mobile development and device management.
They say the first cloud solutions they will make available will include a suite of "human capital management" (HCM) solutions from SuccessFactors, an SAP subsidiary, which would make SAP the first international software vendor to provide integrated cloud HCM offerings in China.
"Through the cooperation with China Telecom and CCS, we are now able to provide world-class cloud solutions from SAP to our customers in China, from a data center in China," said Bill McDermott, SAP's co-chief executive. "This is a significant milestone in our 'Innovation in China for China' strategy and our long-term commitment to the Chinese market."
China Telecom described the strategic arrangement as a "win-win" that would allow each company to take advantage of the other's resources and speed up the introduction of cloud services by Chinese enterprises.
"Currently, China Telecom has two major cloud bases in Inner-Mongolia and Guizhou Province, four data centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu, as well as the end-to-end data capability covering Asia, Europe, America, Africa and Oceania," said Yang Jie, China Telecom's president. "China Telecom's high-quality and reliable cloud infrastructure and IaaS service will help ensure that the value of cloud solutions from SAP is fully demonstrated, which will support more Chinese enterprises in their technical transformation and business innovation with the market-leading, end-to-end cloud service."
According to CCID Consulting, the move gives SAP the potential to become a "heavyweight" in the Chinese SaaS market.
"After nearly three years of market cultivation, China's cloud computing market has moved from a speculative concept to becoming a real business opportunity," said He Jian Ying, CCID Consulting's vice president. "The cloud-based applications market in China is expected to grow at 34.6% and exceed RMB80 billion ($13.1 billion) by the end of 2013."

"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake. . . .Only that day dawns to which we are awake." Henry David Thoreau
Last June, I posted about paying attention, and I am writing about it again today. Have you heard the sayings that psychotherapists and ministers share what they need to hear and to learn? I know that when I am awake and paying attention life is better. I am more alive. Often, I send my consciousness into the future. I worry about my to do list or think about what we might do next year. Sometimes I let my mind be so busy that I forget to eat. I might drop things or have small accidents. My husband and daughter like to tease me about the time that I spilled coffee on our kitchen ceiling! When I do pay attention to this very moment, I am more present and more alive. With awareness, I can make conscious choices and feel more peaceful.
In my congregation on Sunday, we each meditated with a small river stone. I asked folks to really observe the stone, to see its colors, and to feel its textures and its weight. I asked them to truly pay attention to the small and simple stone. Then I asked them to allow the stone to share its wisdom or to send them a message. I asked them to remember that the stone is part of the holiness of the universe, part of the interdependent web of existence just as we are.
Then I asked them to call a word or phrase from the stone into the room. Here is what they said:
Slow down
Worn by water
Smooth and easy
Just right
From slowing down and paying attention to a simple object, people became aware of beauty and strength. Through that focus, some of them noticed what they needed in their own lives. There is nothing magical in this. It is simply slowing down and paying attention.
May you be awake and aware in your life.

After undergoing a back surgery in late May that was described as minor, Saints safety Jairus Byrd's recovery is progressing as hoped, ESPN's Mike Triplett reported via an anonymous source Monday.
Byrd was present for but did not participate in any drills at the Saints' offseason organized team activities ("OTAs") and minicamp. The surgery was to address a problematic disk, and Byrd supposedly could have played through it; but he, doctors and the team decided to handle it in the offseason with the goal of preventing it from becoming an issue after the regular season kicks off in Atlanta on Sept. 8.
Triplett's report said it's expected Byrd will be healthy enough to participate in training camp, but it's unknown if he'll at all be limited when the Saints start practices at The Greenbrier resort in West Virginia on Friday.
Byrd, a three-time Pro Bowler, signed with the Saints in March on a massive six-year deal worth up to $54 million after spending his first five years in the NFL with Buffalo. Because Byrd leads all NFL safeties with 22 regular-season interceptions during his five years in the league, the Saints hope he will help create takeaways for a defense that generated the fourth-fewest last year but still held opponents to the fourth-fewest yards and points.
As Triplett's report noted, it remains unclear if nose tackle John Jenkins (pec) and wide receiver Joseph Morgan (knee) will be kept out of or limited in drills when training camp opens. Both missed OTAs and camp.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says facilitator Mark Brown has booked out of the teachers contract talks.
He says "I think it's because Brown felt the union had lost confidence in him".
BCTF spokeperson Rich Overgaard says this is not a bad thing, rather it's because the dispute is moving to the next step with the request for a mediator.
Yesterday, Education Minister Fassbender rejected the union's latest contract demands but did not accept or reject the call for a mediator.
This is day 4 of the full-scale strike by teachers.
No contract talks are planned today.

Manna Dey: The last of the great male playback singers
The tradition of playback singing has now been replaced by synthesizers which can brush up any voice.
New Delhi: With the death of Prabodh Chandra Dey aka Manna Dey, we have lost the last pillar of the legendary playback singers of Hindi cinema. With Rafi, Kishore and Mukesh long gone, with Mana Dey's demise the tradition of the singers who excelled without any support from technology, has come to an end.
Manna Dey was no lesser a singer than any of his contemporaries but his habit of keeping things to himself, restricted the common music lovers from acknowledging the real value of his talent. There was hardly anything to achieve for the legendary singer whose active musical career spanned over seven decades. Though Dey started singing even before 1942 but technically this was the year when he recorded his first song for the film 'Tamanna'. His last live performance happened in Mumbai in 2012, so it covered a period of 70 years. He was 94 when he died and singers usually start performing much before touching 20, so there shouldn't be any hesitation in accepting that Manna Dey's career covered more than 70 years.
His understanding of music was excellent and subtle which made him popular among the composers who wanted classical twist in their 'mainstream' songs. Here, he had to stand tall among other legends like Md Rafi, Kishore Kumar and Mukesh. Interestingly, most of his popular contemporaries had become the voice of certain film stars. These stars were continuously rising up the ladder of success and so these singers remained in demand for a relatively longer period. Just imagine the dilemma of an equally talented singer who wasn't associated with any actor's on-screen persona.
Kishore Kumar was versatile, Rafi was subtle and Mukesh was intense, but Manna Dey was a collaboration of all these qualities. There was a pattern in Kishore Kumar's eccentricity and an intelligent thinking behind Rafi's perception of romantic songs but Manna Dey relied on practice and emotions.
He was the last of the great male playback singers of Hindi cinema who had witnessed the rigorous and painful process of song recording during the 50s and 60s. It was a time when technology hadn't overshadowed the rawness of voice. The singers still used to give 19-20 takes, spending up to six hours for recording one song.
The tradition of playback singing has now been replaced by synthesizers which can brush up any voice and make it presentable. Singers like Kumar Sanu, Udit Narayan and Sonu Nigam still held the flag high but the tradition is obviously fading.
These days, singers emerge with a bang and go to oblivion with an equal pace. Actors are bullied into singing for their mass appeal, and so are the composers for producing the popular content. In such a scenario, Manna Dey will always remain in the hearts of millions of his fans for uniqueness of his heavy tone and a tradition of singing that no longer exists.

Discuss this Article 3
Hello: The above article states: "Or, suppose we have a 100-hp motor with subtransient rating of 0.17. It would instantaneously produce 588kVA (100 ÷ 0.17)."
Is there an assumption used in the calcs?
Did you convert hp to Watts by multiplying 100 by 746W? If so, and we assume unity power factor, therefore, the Watt should be 100*746=74600.
Using the formula the Available Short Circuit Current (kVA/subtransient resistance), it seems as though the Short Circuit current should be (74600/0.17)= 438.8kVA.
Please comment.
How are cable lengths taken into account when using the 'Easy Way kVA Method'? Is my assumption correct in that the worst case scenario is being considered by not accounting for a long cable run? Is there a way to determine the contribution reduction when using long runs of cable with the Easy Way method?

Read a Christmas classic
Blue Ridge Books has a wide variety of Christmas books to celebrate the season. New Christmas books are published each season, but you may want to give, read or reread a Christmas classic. Here are some of the store's favorites:
First, the nativity story, illustrated in a variety of ways, told from different points of view, each conveying the meaning of the story of the birth of Jesus, told in the gospels of Matthew and Luke.
Next, there are the popular Santa stories, such as "The Polar Express," "The Night Before Christmas," and "Rudolph." Don't forget Dr. Seuss' "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," "The Nutcracker," based on the Tchaikovsky ballet, books based on familiar carols such as "The Twelve Days of Christmas."
Slightly lesser known classics include "Christmas Day in Morning" by Pearl Buck and"The Year of the Perfect Christmas Tree" by the Appalachian author Gloria Houston. Originally published in 1955, Pearl Buck's book is a heartwarming story about sacrifice and the spirit of giving. Gloria Houston's book tells a story inspired by her mother's childhood in Appalachia during World War. This book is a treasured tradition for many families.
Christmas classics aren't just for children. You can't go wrong rereading the familiar story of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens. "The Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry reminds readers young and old what love and sacrifice means at Christmas. "A Christmas Memory" by Truman Capote and "A Child's Christmas in Wales" by Dylan Thomas bring us the Christmas spirit as it can only be seen through the eyes of a child.

(editor's note - this is an update to a story we featured earlier at http://www.microbeworld.org/index.php?option=com_jlibrary&view=article&id=1971)
Thanks to their vast underground fungus farms, leafcutter ants are one of Earth's most successful species — and one secret of their agricultural success is bacteria, which the ants use like fertilizer.
By farming with microbes that pull nitrogen from the air, the ants thrive in nitrogen-poor rain forest soil. Researchers say their bug-harnessing tricks might point people toward better ways of turning plants to fuel, or boosting our own crop yields.
"The reason we're able to produce such massive crops is by the massive fertilization of nitrogen in our fields," said University of Wisconsin bacteriologist Cameron Currie, co-author of a paper published Thursday in Science. "Ants supplement their crops through symbiotic associations with bacteria."
A star of rain forest documentaries, leafcutter ants are one of about 250 ant species that subsist on farmed fungus. Most of these species live in colonies of a few thousand individuals, with tiny garden plots.
Leafcutter colonies have millions of members, with leaf-fed farms yielding more than a ton of fungus every year. Some scientists estimate they account for a full four-fifths of all living, nonplant rain forest matter.

Listening to sports radio yesterday, I heard a former football coach (didn't catch his name) say, "The Cowboys and the Vikings are such great defensive teams, I think they should just let the two defenses go out and play, and keep the offenses out of it."
OK, clearly he didn't mean that the two defenses should play and one of them should get the ball, because then you'd have one great defense and one really crappy offense on the field, not two great defenses. So, then, there's no ball involved at all. What then? Is there some way these two defenses can play some sport? Please discuss.
"I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defense the only arms I allow myself to use -- silence, exile, and cunning." -- James Joyce

#2 Nov 1, 2012
not bad dude,upursdale
#3 Nov 1, 2012
Look at the condition of this village and you can only say he sucks. Isn't he the dude who does roofs on village time?
#4 Nov 1, 2012
yes, he does alot on village time he does work for the mayor on village time, at the mayors house, goes to polish club on village time and then goes to tractor supply to work. Must be nice the water dept supervisor can't get a second job cuz he is on call 24/7 , but the supervisor of street dept can get a second job even though he is on call 24/7 too. Village shows favorites.
#5 Nov 1, 2012
prove it smucks
#6 Nov 1, 2012
Don't forget him plowing the liquor store on vilage time!
#7 Nov 2, 2012
He also plows Curves where his girlfriend tries to work!!!! HA-Ha she works.
#8 Nov 2, 2012
Does he still stalk his ex-wife?!?!?!?
#9 Nov 2, 2012
He's a friggen joke!!! Drives around in village truck doing personal stuff. Goes to the high school and drops off the girlfriends kid in the village vehicle. He doesn't think anything of it. He's never at work, always out doing whatever. It truley amazes me how he gets away with it. And to top it off, he now has a job at the new tractor supply. How can this be? I thought being a supervisor you are on call 24-7? Whats gonna happen when we get a snow storm and he not available to come in. but then again he doesn't do anything now so whats it matter I guess? Right? This is how the village board does their thing.... maybe they oughta say it's not happening. 5 morons!!!! Come on Mark WAKE UP!! Stop having the street dept supa working at your house!! Don't you think people see this or are they blind? Maybe you just don't give a @@@@!!! Your neighbors see alot!!!
#10 Nov 2, 2012
if true go to the board moron otherwise stfu, upurs dale
#11 Nov 2, 2012
Pete get off the village computer. Do something productive on village time like put a roof on someone's house or collect scrap metals. Hey when get a chance go spend some time with your kids, just saying,
#12 Nov 2, 2012
Oh okay STFU!!! Great comeback!!! Just drive around sometime you will see for yourself. Go to the board. Been there done that!! It doesn't help just makes your blood pressure go up and its not worth it because nothing happens!! Even if I took pictures of him at the high school dropping kids off in the village truck, or doing a roofing job, or paving a driveway, or doing work at the mayors house do you think that would help? Okay maybe I just might do that then.
#13 Nov 2, 2012
Wow I can't beleive somebody is finally writting this. I have been waiting for someone to finally notice and speak up. Its actually nice knowing that people really do see whats happening in this village. Please do me a favor and go to the board meeting a speak your peace.
#14 Nov 2, 2012
ok good take pics better yet video that way if true get him the eff out, oh upurs dale
#15 Nov 2, 2012
I used to watch him stalk his ex wife waddah loser.
United States
#16 Nov 2, 2012
What a worthless bum. The village should fire has sad ass.
#17 Nov 4, 2012
Complaining on here does nothing. Either speak up or shut up. Who can blame a person for trying to get extra work in this crappy area with this bad economy? If it's not illegal then leave the dude alone. If taxpayer money is being spent on extra jobs then turn him in. It's that simple. If nothing is done about it well nothing lasts forever. I hear the whole local government is about to get scrutinized because of the awful financial shape we're in so people who rip off taxpayers will probably get theirs eventually.
#18 Nov 4, 2012
Your right complaining doesn't help. I agree all the guys that work under him should get together and oust him. They don't need him, he's never there so let someone else do the job and get paid for it. But then again they are doing the job without him so maybe they don't need to pay someone 55,000 a year to never be there!!!
#19 Nov 4, 2012
The village board loves Pete he is an ignorant lackey who will say yes to them for anything. My brother does have a picture of him at the old Harley place in Utica with the village truck. What good will that do? Hopefully they nail him on OSHA violations a higher power has to oversee the village corruption. Don't worry Pete you don't have to respond to this we know the truth. Next snow storm and my street isn't cleared where do I call you at the village garage or central tractor?
#20 Nov 5, 2012
Is he the same Pete Macri who killed someone a couple years back? Ran somebody over with the plow in Herkimer?

Is there a way to migrate XP network printer settings and drivers from one machine to another?
I've been struggling with this issue for a while. I think the problem is because the printers are not located on a server, so I have to connect to them through a local TCP/IP port.
This is a pain, because I have 500 PCs that are being replaced, and I have to manually connect at least five printers to each PC individually. This is really slowing down the process.
I tried using the File and Settings Transfer Wizard, but nothing gets moved over.
I also considered USMT, but the documention I've found on the web only refers to XP to Win7 migrations.
Please advise on any scripts, utilities, etc. that I can run to help make this task a lot easier and faster.
Thanks for your replies...

Library technician course recognition : meeting the challenge of a distributed national education program
Hallam, Gillian C. & Genoni, Paul (2009) Library technician course recognition : meeting the challenge of a distributed national education program. The Australian Library Journal (ALJ), 58(3), pp. 233-249.
|Accepted Version (PDF 117kB)
This paper looks at the challenges presented for the Australian Library and Information Association by its role as the professional association responsible for ensuring the quality of Australian library technician graduates. There is a particular focus on the issue of course recognition, where the Association's role is complicated by the need to work alongside the national quality assurance processes that have been established by the relevant technical education authorities. The paper describes the history of course recognition in Australia; examines the relationship between course recognition and other quality measures; and describes the process the Association has undertaken recently to ensure appropriate professional scrutiny in a changing environment of accountability.

My research interests centre on the behaviour and welfare of domestic cats and dogs, and their relationships with people, although I no longer supervise research students. Before I retired I co-ordinated research programmes on the following: separation disorders in dogs; the welfare of kennelled dogs; the role of olfaction in dogs' location of hidden objects; the psychology of dog-handler interactions; the interpretation of "play" behaviour in dogs and cats; cat domestication; the development of "personality" in cats; the effects of human factors on cat population dynamics.
Video: speaking about research into anthropomorphism and emotional support at ISAZ 2012.
My current professional focus is on making the science of anthrozoology accessible to pet owners, through books and other media - click here or on the Impact tab for more detail.
I was formerly Reader in Companion Animal Behaviour and University Research Theme Leader for Animal Welfare & Behaviour at the University of Bristol. My academic post prior to that was a Senior Research Fellowship at the University of Southampton (1987-2003), where I founded the Anthrozoology Institute.
Honours received include the RSPCA/BSAS Award for Innovative Developments in Animal Welfare (2014) and the BVA Wooldridge Medal (2015).
I was one of the founders of the International Society for Anthrozoology (ISAZ), and formerly acted as Science Chair for the International Association of Human-Animal Interactions Organisations (IAHAIO). I have been a member of the Council of the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) and served on its Accreditation Committee from 1999-2015.
I give lectures on the BSc in Animal Behaviour & Welfare (years 2 and 3), and on the HE Certificate in Companion Animal Welfare and Behavioural Rehabilitation. Formerly I was responsible for the third-year projects on the AB&W degree. I have supervised more than 20 PhD students to completion, many of whom have gone on to successful careers in animal welfare science.
With Drs Rachel Casey and Sarah Brown, I have revised my textbook "The Behaviour of the Domestic Cat" (2nd edition, CAB International, 2012). Sarah Brown and I have contributed a chapter to the third edition of "The Domestic Cat: the biology of its behaviour" (Cambridge University Press, 2013), and Dr Nicola Rooney and I have chapters in the second edition of "The Domestic Dog" (Cambridge University Press, 2016) and "Domestic Dog Cognition & Behavior" (Springer, 2014).

|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Is it appropriate to sip the champagne when you win a second round series? Just what is the proper etiquette for such a situation in the NHL? Well, we'll find out eventually, because the Bruins could not close out the Flyers in Phildelphia on Friday night in a 5-4 loss in overtime.
The Bruins, of course, made things interesting. Down 4-3 late in the game and with Tuukka Rask pulled, the B's used the man advantage to their advantage, with Mark Recchi scoring his second goal of the game and sixth of the playoffs with just 32 seconds to go to tie it up 4-4.
On the brink of elimination, the Flyers battled back and finally broke through the Tuukka wall in the overtime period, with the returning Simon Gagne netting his first goal 15 minutes into the overtime period to give the Flyers the 5-4 win.
In all, Rask finished with 29 saves in 34 chances and may be tiring just a bit. He's clearly the best option, but the team could have used the extra rest by closing out the series in Game 4. Instead, we move to Game 5 with the B's and Flyers duking it out at the TD Garden on Monday night.
The Bruins, who have seemed to battle back in every game all playoffs, found themselves down 3-1 after three straight Flyers goals (Danny Briere, Chris Pronger, and Claude Giroux). Midway through the second period, the Bruins pulled within one on a lucky goal by Michael Ryder that seemed to sneak through Brian Boucher's legs.
Milan Lucic tied it 3-3 with his power play goal early in the third, and the Flyers took a 4-3 lead late in the game on Ville Leino's first goal of the playoffs. This all set up Recchi's heroics…and eventually Gagne's heroics. Got to love playoff hockey.
The Bruins should not be ashamed. With a 3-1 series lead against the Sabres in the first round, they laid an absolute egg in Game 5 in Buffalo (losing 4-1). With a 3-0 lead against the Flyers in Philly, they nearly found themselves with a series sweep and appear to be constantly on their toes. This Bruins team plays with a sense of urgency, and even when it appears they are down and out, they step up and bring their "A" game. This team is much more exciting to watch in the playoffs than last year's squad, who seemed lackadaisical late in the series against the Hurricanes.
The Bruins can close out the series in Game 5 on Monday night.
We won't starting talking about the likelihood of teams winning a series after facing 3-0 deficits unless the Flyers win in Game 5…

I hate it when it happens. You're just putting the finishing touches on your work when BANG! out goes the power the whole day's work is lost. Annoyance plus frustration. I'm not the kind who can easily reconstruct my lost work, so I'll just go ahead and do something entirely different, but I will include some stuff I remember writing about.
Michael Netzer has created yet another web-site. Interestingly enough he draws attention to the fact that he's not that in demand in the comic book world these days, thus he has more than enough time to work on these kind of sites. Now that amazes me, that an artist of Mike abilities, who's grown with each year that passes and is better than he ever was feels the need to create web-sites in order to remain active. Incredible. Especially when you look at some of the chicken scratching that pass for pencils these days. If anyone's out there reading this, then hire Mike Netzer. It'll be worth your while.
The fine folk over at First Salvo have released a preview of their latest issue of Saga Six. They've issued a number of pages and a one-sheet character design over at Norm Breyfogle's forum. Well worth a look. So far First Salvo has assembled a crew of talent that'd be the envy of any mainstream publisher, let alone small press: Tom Smith, Mark McKenna, Bob Almond, Joe Rubinstein, Norm Breyfogle, Sal Velluto, Kevin West, Ron Frenz, Jason Armstrong Pat Oliff, Paul Rivoche, and Jerry Ordway have all contributed to the First Salvo line, and that alone makes them books to watch out for. Feel free to interact with the First Salvo team over at their forums.
Publisher Thad Branco has told me that he intends to shop the line around to publishers such as Image. If Image have anywhere near a brain they'll pick this up and run with it. If you're having trouble getting copies here in Australia then let us know and we'll arrange for a copy to be sent out. Otherwise just visit this link and buy as much as you can carry.
Over on the Comic Art mailing list there's been a bit of a fuss about the recent Mike Wieringo image sending up John Byrne. A lot of people were accusing Wieringo of being totally unprofessional with his public 'attack' on the poor, helpless Byrne (don't bother looking for a link to Byrne - if there's one thing I've learnt it's that Byrne hates my links). Let me just say this, and it's a bit of a watered down version from what I originally wrote, that if John Byrne, or his sycophants, don't like what Wieringo has done, then perhaps Byrne should remember back to his dim, dark past and recall this attack on why Gene Colan was fired from Marvel back in the 1980s:
"Because Shooter wouldn't let them get away with murder, is what it comes down to. Shooter wouldn't let Gene Colan do the kind of crap that he's been doing for the last -banana feet and duck hands- that he's been giving us for the last five years. Shooter wouldn't let him do that, so he went over to DC where they said "Sure. Come and do garbage. We'll pay you for it.""
How professional was that? Byrne didn't stop there. He sprouted more and more about why he felt Colan was a hack and was basically no good. He then turned his focus and attacked Roy Thomas on the same panel discussion at a comic book convention and appeared happy when it was printed in The Comic Journal. However he wasn't happy when Roy Thomas threatened to sue over Byrne's highly professional comments. Forced to recant, Byrne offered up the weakest of weak apologies. But that's Byrne. In recent times he's found the need to attack people such as Peter David, Erik Larsen (which he had to apologize for - again) and the entire community at Wikipedia, where he felt a conspiracy was afoot against him. The only conspiracy against Byrne lies in his head.
I'll always remember Byrne as being the man who refused to sign the Jack Kirby art return petition. At the time Byrne was pulling in a hefty six figure annual sum by writing and drawing one of Kirby's most famous co-creations: The Fantastic Four. Byrne had a lot of clout back at Marvel in those days and was one of their most successful money spinners. As he was working on one of the flag-ship titles he was also in a position to exert a great degree of pressure onto Marvel for the return of Kirby's art. Over 200 other comic book creators signed the petition. Alan Moore, Gil Kane, Frank Miller, Norm Breyfogle, Steve Rude, Kerry Gammill, Jerry Ordway, Jerry Siegel, Jerry Bingham, Burne Hogarth, Neal Adams, Bernie Wrightson, R. Crumb, C.C. Beck, Mike Barr, Mike Baron, Dan Adkins, Sal Amendola, Mark Farmer, Harlan Ellison, Steve Englehart, Brian Bolland, Tom Grindberg, Harvey Kurtzman, David Mazzuchelli, Dave Simons, Dave Sim, Doug Moench, Marv Wolfman, George Perez, Roger McKenzie, Jim Starlin, Tom Sutton, Frank Thorne, Matt Wagner and too many more to name here signed. DC issued a letter against the Marvel policy towards Kirby, as did Will Eisner.
A lot of the people who signed the petition were risking both their current and future employment at Marvel and indeed within the industry as a whole. All stood up for Kirby and against the Marvel policy. I can't recall ever hearing of any one person who was fired by Marvel for signing the petition, or was refused work at Marvel in the future. None.
At the time Frank Miller wrote the following;
"On the telephone the other day I mentioned Jack Kirby to a cartoonist who makes a six figure income by writing and drawing the adventures of superheroes brought to life by Jack Kirby. The cartoonist mumbled something I didn't understand and changed the subject." You work out who he's talking about. For all his flaws Frank Miller does stand up to be counted. John Byrne does not - he stands on the side of who's paying him, as he did with the Kirby case and as he did against his fellow peer Marv Wolfman when Wolfman took Marvel to court for ownership of Blade. Gene Colan and Marv Evanier stood up for Wolfman during the court case, Byrne didn't. According to the court records, Byrne spent the bulk of his time when not giving testimony poking his tounge out and making stupid faces at Wolfman. That's Byrne for ya!
I'd love to know how much he made from his Fantastic Four work, his Fourth World work, his Demon work, OMAC, The Hulk, The X-Men, The Avengers, Captain America - all his Kirby work, because that's what his soul is worth and it's not often you discover a man's true worth. Byrne has shown on more than occasion that he's a man without honour and that's he's ever eager to feather his own nest. It's funny, but get an industry professional off the record and ask them about John Byrne. You'd be stunned by the responses (I know I'm always amazed at what I'm told).
Byrne has continued to carve out a career on the back of Jack Kirby's creations. Byrne's own serious attempts to create, the Next Men at Dark Horse, vanished a few years after they began and haven't been seen since. Mind you the whole concept reeked of Kirby, as did his next effort, Danger Unlimited, which was yet another Kirby concept, recycled and regurgitated by Byrne. But the failure of his creations aren't his fault - the blame lies at the feet of the public for not buying the books when they came out and the retailers who band together and refuse to order his books.
I find it amusing when people attack Stan Lee as being a villain in the Jack Kirby story when Byrne has made more in a year from Kirby's creations than Kirby probably made over his entire career. I think the world has lost count of the number of times Byrne has swiped - whoops, sorry, paid homage - to Kirby's famous cover image of Fantastic Four #1. Out of interest I know for sure he's used that image on the following books: Fantastic Four #264, What If #36, Danger Unlimited #4, Avengers West Coast #54, X-Men: The Hidden Years #20 and Marvel Age #14. I expect that there's more of them out there. Does Kirby get a cent from any of that? Nope. Why should he? He just designed the cover, and, after all, it's a homage. I might go and remake Citizen Kane, shot for shot but with different actors and call it a homage because it'd be exactly the same as what Byrne does to Kirby's cover design. The shame is that a lot of Byrne's early work - Iron Fist, X-Men, Avengers and yes, even his Fantastic Four - is more than readable. His Superman reboot was as impressive as anything else he's ever done. A lot of his latter work is barely adequate.
So when the sycophants start the wailing about the injustice against Byrne by Wieringo, just ignore them. They've long been blinded to the world at large and indeed live in a John Byrne World.
As for his comments about Colan producing shit at DC? Take a look at Generations III or Lab Rats - the latter being a book so bad it doesn't even feature on a lot of Byrne's checklists - and compare that against Gene Colan's last years at DC. Then you tell me who hacked it out and foisted garbage onto the world at large. At least Gene was capable of drawing backgrounds, a feat that has eluded Byrne since he left Marvel back in 1986.
