Albert Belle's power-packed but troubled career is over, a baseball friend of the Baltimore player said last night.
The friend said that Belle concluded over the weekend that his arthritic right hip was not improving and was actually getting worse. The friend said that the final clue to the severity of the problem was Belle's experience at a movie theater. ''He couldn't even sit down for periods of time, the pain was that bad,'' the friend said. ''He basically has concluded he's in such pain that he can't play anymore.''
The 34-year-old Belle passed an initial physical examination at the start of the Orioles' spring training in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., but has not played in any of the team's six exhibition games. Peter Angelos, the Orioles' owner, sent two team doctors to Florida to examine Belle yesterday, but the results were not immediately disclosed.
Belle's friend said that the Orioles, the players association, Belle and his agent, Arn Tellem, were all presuming that the doctors would conclude that Belle can no longer play baseball.Continue reading the main story
''Albert met with the doctors today,'' Tellem said last night, ''and intends to take the next 24 hours to consider their recommendations. An announcement about his intentions will be forthcoming in the next day or so.''
Tellem declined to say what the doctors' recommendation was but he said, ''I can tell you Albert had worked extremely hard in the off-season to try to gain mobility in his hip, and I think he's extremely frustrated and disappointed that this spring has not gone as well as he hoped. He's enduring considerable pain every day he's been out on the field.''
All that seems to be left is the formal announcement and the Orioles' decision on how to handle Belle's exit. The Orioles appear to have the option of releasing him or placing him on the 60-day disabled list for the remaining three years of his contract, similar to what the Minnesota Twins did with Kirby Puckett after he developed glaucoma and could no longer play.
The Orioles' decision on how to proceed may be tied to their insurance policy, which will pay 70 percent of Belle's annual $13 million salary. If there was any chance that the Orioles would have difficulty collecting on the policy if they release him, they would probably opt for repeated appearances on the disabled list. If the team chose that alternative, Belle would not count against its 40-man roster.
''Albert can't play and he knows it,'' his friend said. ''Albert had to give himself a shot, put on the uniform and try it. He really is a gamer. He works hard. He did his best to conceal to the outside world just how much pain he was in.''
When Belle missed a game on Aug. 27 against Tampa Bay, he ended what was then the longest playing streak in the major leagues, at 232 consecutive games. His teammate, Cal Ripken, holds the major league record of 2,632 consecutive games.
Belle missed 20 games in September because of his ailing hip but played the last six games. He finished the season with 103 runs batted in, marking the ninth successive season he had driven in at least 100 runs. Only three players in history have achieved longer streaks. Until last season, Belle had a streak of eight seasons in which he hit 30 or more home runs.
Belle, an outfielder, played two seasons with the Orioles after signing a five-year, $65 million contract in December 1998. A free agent that off-season, Belle had actually decided to sign with the Yankees, then changed his mind and joined the Orioles. He explained privately that he had decided he did not want to subject himself to the New York news media.
Throughout his 11-year major league career, Belle seldom talked to members of the news media, but if a reporter attempted to talk to him, he often erupted with an angry, vulgar response. And at times, he reacted to fans angrily and obscenely.Continue reading the main story

Re: WWE: Turning The Corner
Nige's Smackdown Feedback
Opening promo with Edge was pretty good. Edge was the best part of this by a long way, Batista as a tweener it seems, not fully fledged heel was decent to read. The match for tonight looks a little explosive to say the least. I didn't count on Taker coming out like he did, but it was great to see Edge get choke slammed. I can't make my mind up whether he should have high tailed it or not, but huge start to the show
Palumbo and Dykstra put a better match on to start the show than I expected. Dykstra looked good in the match and it's good to see you recognising the talent he has, good win for him and I like that he did it clean too. The start of things to come?
The dual interviews with Matt Hardy and Jamie Noble were a good idea as we got a filler into two decent promos instead, putting both matches over for later on. Matt seemed in character, but Jamie's promo was better, probably cos it was more comical and aggressive. Some good stuff from Noble, and that's great to see as he is awesome in the ring and it seems you're doing a good job of mixing them together to give him a real push as a strong champion
Noble's match with Yang was very good, great to read and very realistic of how it would come off on TV. I didn't think we would see Kid Kash, but that was an added bonus. I think a DQ would have been better as Yang isn't going to benefit too much from this, but the loss for Noble is nothing too big. Best of 7, fucking yes please! Bring it on
Matt being attacked by MVP, too obvious I think. I'm not sure who else it could be, but I like that you had MVP back himself up with Flair and Teddy. Long would make MVP suffer and give the fans what he promised, so Kane as an alternative is very cool. I was ready for the change to take place, but a second straight run in, ruined that possibility. Again, I don't think a pinfall victory was needed over the DQ as MVP retained anyway and he could have escaped, leaving Finlay and Kane to brawl, slipping out of the picture himself. But obviously, you wanted The New Breed attack to happen, so I can understand that now. I don't see them as faces, Burke in particular, so this attack was a little random and confusing, but I know it's heading somewhere good
A squash match to put the UK Connection over was good to see and shows that they are imposing and strong champions. Will be interesting to see who challenges them, but a nice finish with the C4. The Batista promo was really good, very freaky and shows that Batista is in deep trouble and that he is hot about the situation going into the match later
I wonder if Chavo's push in ECW is done to them seeing your work with him on here! Seeing you started this feud a while ago and before his push IRL, it's great to see him developing in this way, and this was a great promo, booked brilliantly. The brass attack as I will call it, worked brilliantly and then the use of the figure four, just brilliant. Nice job
Masters beating Stevie at last was always going to happen, but in a way, a newly aggressive Masters is good thing all round as he can be taken more seriously now. He looked hot in his match and should be moving up the roster soon
Edge/Rey promo was a nice little filler and teaser for the main event. I so wish Rey had walked out on Edge, but it was great seeing Edge so cocky and then realise his own mistake, showing us he is a coward. The main event itself was good, very strange concept with opponents together, but Batista became the third person tonight to lose thanks to an attack not from his opponent. Taker walking out on Batista I think should have been the other way round, but giving Rey a win was the obvious idea you wanted to get him over as a possible threat to Edge's title, which he really isn't
Overall, some really great booking here. Looking at Chavo in particular, some of the match endings could have gone the other way or ended in a DQ, but nothing major here, a really great show man

Mendis, 24, has made mincemeat of teams in his first appearance against them, as South Africa discovered on Tuesday, and England are wary ahead of starting their own Champions Trophy campaign under Wanderers' floodlights.
"The guys have ideas," Flower said. "Seeing him for the first time is surprising, but our guys have had a good look of footage of him. They have also spoken to other people who have had success against him so they are as prepared as they can be without actually playing against him."
Such is his potency that the worry is batters become defensive to counter him.
"That is a danger," admitted Flower. "But I think batting is always a balance between attack and defence and each individual has to find that balance the best he can."
England begin the first of three Group B games in poor condition on the field, following a 6-1 thrashing by Australia, and also under-prepared for the altitude, according to Flower.
"I don't think the acclimatisation we have done is quite enough purely in physical terms," Flower said.
"But as soon as we arrived we had a little run out to test how our guys were reacting at altitude, and for them to feel it.
"To be honest that is the least of things on which we have to focus - we have got skills to deliver."

Steel sector losses grow despite price rebound
Related topics
Steel companies on the mainland saw their losses widen last month and, despite recent price increases, analysts do not expect a solid industry rebound until the second quarter of next year.
The price of steel on the mainland has rebounded 10 to 15 per cent from its October low, prompting Baosteel to raise its product prices for February. Meanwhile, losses have mounted.
Figures from the China Iron and Steel Association show that 71 large and medium-sized steel mills had combined losses of 12.77 billion yuan (HK$14.34 billion), more than double the losses in October.
Forty-eight mills, including the leading companies, recorded losses, compared with 42 in October, when the industry posted combined losses of 5.84 billion yuan.
It was the first monthly loss in six years, as falling demand and lower prices amid the global economic slowdown ate into profit.
Zhang Shibao, an analyst at China Merchants Securities, said losses last month were larger than in October because of a 'time lag' effect, as products sold by big steelmakers usually reflect market prices a month earlier.
However, the problems had not been fully reflected in earnings, Mr Zhang said. Companies needed to make provisions against their inventories at the end of the year following the plunge in raw material and steel prices from their peaks in June.
Losses this month are likely to be higher than in the previous two months because stockpiles are still 60 per cent or higher than normal levels, even though they have declined from their peaks in August and September, he said.
Jiang Qiu, an analyst at Guotai Junan Securities, said provisions made by steelmakers at the end of September were far from sufficient to reflect the plunge in raw material prices and the prolonged inventory turnover delay.
'From purchasing raw materials to [turning them into] products and selling to customers, it took about 63 days in the third quarter, but this has increased to about 90 days in the fourth quarter,' Mr Jiang said.
Prices for iron ore and coking coal have slumped between 20 and 30 per cent this quarter. However, most steelmakers had made provisions of less than 10 per cent against their inventories by end-September. They needed to set aside much bigger amounts in the fourth quarter, thus hurting their earnings, he said.
Recent price increases at Baosteel and other major steel mills, as well as at smaller mills resuming production, suggested that demand was picking up, Mr Jiang said, adding a solid rebound would take time.
'I didn't see that demand from downstream customers such as car and home appliance makers has recovered,' he said, adding that the first quarter is traditionally a low season because of the Lunar New Year and cold weather.
Hu Shunliang, a spokesman for Maanshan Iron & Steel, said it would take more time to judge whether the market had rebounded, although his mill had resumed some production.
The Anhui steelmaker, which has cut production 15 per cent since October because of weak demand and falling prices, said it had resumed about 33 per cent of its production, with the utilisation rate at its plants now at 90 per cent.
'We'll monitor the situation to decide when to run full capacity,' he said.
Mr Zhang said even after last week's 6 to 8 per cent price rise, Baosteel's February product prices were still in line with current market prices. The Shanghai steelmaker announces its product prices monthly and about two months earlier than its peers.
'At February product prices, based on current raw material prices, Baosteel is still losing 500 yuan a tonne,' Mr Zhang estimated.
'The industry is bottoming out, and the worst seems over. Overall, I think it is likely the industry will suffer losses in the first quarter, as major mills are using imported iron ore, the price of which is higher than spot prices.'
Mr Zhang expected steel demand to be stronger in the second quarter, when Beijing's 4 trillion yuan economic stimulus package and other measures start to take effect.
Regaining strength
Solid recovery unlikely until the second quarter next year, say analysts
Mainland steel prices have risen from October lows by as much as: 15%

Did Nucky have something to do with this? The official word:
Today the ABC Television Network announced a new three-year partnership with the Miss America Organization (MAO). New Jersey's Acting Governor, LT. GOV. Kim Guadagno, along with the Miss America Organization's Chairman of the Board, Sam Haskell, III, and MAO President and CEO Art McMaster joined Atlantic City officials from the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority, the Atlantic City Alliance and the Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority to announce that the Miss America organization will bring the crowning back to Atlantic City, where it first began in 1921.
This year's Miss America telecast, which crowned Mallory Hagan on January 12 2013, increased its overall audience for the third straight year since returning to ABC in 2011, to deliver the program's most-watched broadcast since 2004.
Welcoming the organization back home, LT. GOV. Guadagno said" "For decades the Miss America organization has awarded scholarships to thousands of young women to help further their goals of higher education and achieve their dreams. New Jersey is proud to once again host the Miss America Pageant here in Atlantic City. We are confident that Atlantic City's famous boardwalk and variety of restaurants, shops and entertainment venues will showcase the city's vibrancy and attraction to the participants and many visitors who will attend the Miss America Pageant every year."
Sam Haskell, III, Miss America Organization's Chairman of the Board, stated: "We are so very proud to bring Miss America back to her birthplace in Atlantic City. We are grateful to Governor Christie and his staff for helping make this possible. Today Miss America remains an iconic symbol, and our roots have always stayed connected to Atlantic City. We now look to the future as we prepare for our most exciting television event ever for Miss America with the support of our network partner, ABC."
Added Miss America Organization's President and CEO, Art McMaster: "As we depart Las Vegas, we sincerely thank our friends at Planet Hollywood who have hosted us for the last eight years and the City of Las Vegas who helped us to achieve our best television ratings last January. We will now build on that success and begin a new era by returning the tradition to Atlantic City."
CRDA, AC Alliance, and ACCVA have jointly assisted in paving the way for the return of Miss America, which will bring tourists from around the country to the East Coast's premiere gaming and vacation destination.
Details of the 2014 Miss America Competition will be announced shortly, and plans are now underway for the September event live in the famed Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall. Award winning television producer Anthony Eaton and his company, Tall Pony Productions, who have produced the live event in Las Vegas for the last six years, will produce Miss America 2014 in AC live on ABC.

Legal Battle Set For Maine's Largest Development
"Plum Creek Timber Co.'s proposal to rezone more than 400,000 acres in the Moosehead Lake region promises to be the biggest development in Maine history, and the fight about its approval promises to be one of the state's most complicated legal battles.
In preparation for hearings that could be nine months or more away, two leading environmental groups already have hired two of Maine's best known trial lawyers to represent them before the Land Use Regulation Commission.
'It's why I got into this whole business to begin with,' DeTroy said. 'It's a chance to do something I really care about for a larger public good. This is challenging, interesting, important stuff.'"

Fantasy High: Part Five
Chapter Five- Something To Say
He whispered the incantation they took off in the night sky.
The sky was clear and there was a full moon. Venus could even be seen high in the sky. A soft warm breeze waltzed through, tugging at Azkedelia, begging her to fly. The night was warm and Azkedelia was very aware of her hand in Merlin's.
"So my warlock guide, where is our walk taking us?"
Merlin smiled. "To a special place."
Azkedelia nodded. "And where is this special place?"
"It's a secret. I found it by accident last year and it's been my haven ever since."
Azkedelia nodded. "So how far away is it?"
Merlin intertwined his fingers with hers. "Not far if we fly."
"Merlin, phoenix aren't designed to carry passengers."
Merlin laughed. "I know that. I meant magic."
Azkedelia blushed, glad the shadows hid her face. "Right. I knew that."
Merlin stopped walking and faced her. "Of course you did. And for this to work, we're going to have to be close."
"And how close is close?"
"Turn around."
Azkedelia did and felt Merlin loosely wrap his arms around her waist.
"This close."
Azkedelia nodded, aware of a sudden electric current running between them. "Okay. So now what?"
Merlin leaned forwards and whispered in her ear. "Close your eyes and lean back."
"Okay." Azkedelia closed her eyes and felt herself lifted from the ground. The sudden wind when they went forwards made her fall back against Merlin.
He chuckled. "This is why I told you to lean back."
Azkedelia smiled. "Note to self: listen to Merlin."
Merlin laughed and tightened his arms around her waist. Azkedelia smiled, part of her wishing their flight would go on forever. She was slightly disappointed when she felt solid ground under her feet again.
"Here it is."
Azkedelia opened her eyes and looked around. Towering trees guarded the glen where she and Merlin were standing. Weeping willows and ivy-covered stone arches were scattered through the glen. A small waterfall gracefully fell from a hidden spot in the trees.
Azkedelia smiled. "It's beautiful. How doesn't anyone else know about this?"
Merlin let go of Azkedelia and walked to an arch, placing his hand on it. "I put a spell on the trees around it. If anyone gets too close to the trees, they turn around, thinking they're still going straight, but instead they walk around it."
Azkedelia nodded. "So why show it to me?"
Merlin looked up and leaned against the arch. "Because I know you won't let anyone else here. And because I can trust you."
Azkedelia smiled. "Aw, I feel special now."
Merlin laughed. "You should always feel special."
Azkedelia smiled again and looked at the sky, then looked back at Merlin to find him watching her. "What?"
Merlin shook his head and pushed off the arch. "Nothing."
Azkedelia took a step forwards. "No, you were going to say something. What is it?"
Merlin took a step closer. "You sure you want me to say it?"
Azkedelia nodded.
"No matter what it is?" Merlin took another step closer.
"Just tell me. I don't care what it is."
Merlin took another step forwards, standing directly in front of her. "Are you sure?"
Azkedelia nodded. Merlin leaned forwards and pressed his lips against hers. An electric shock ran through them both. Merlin pressed his lips harder against hers. Azkedelia lifted her good hand and pressed it against the back of his head. Merlin deepened the kiss and wrapped his left arm around her waist, pulling her closer. Azkedelia titled her head as Merlin intertwined his fingers in her hair. Merlin pulled back and lightly brushed his lips across hers again before he let go of her hair. Azkedelia opened her eyes to see Merlin watching her, his blue eyes seeming to glow in the moonlight.
"Is there anything else you'd like to add?" Azkedelia asked breathlessly.
Merlin kissed her hard, forcing her back against the stone arch. He deepened the kiss and Azkedelia felt fireworks explode outward from her lips through her whole body. Merlin put his hands on either side of her waist and pulled her on top of the stone arch. Her fingertips slid up the side of his neck and against his jaw.
Merlin slowly pulled back and looked at Azkedelia. "And that's what I had to say."
Azkedelia bit her lip. "That certainly was something to say."
Merlin smiled and looked down. "Well, you wanted to know."
"And it needed to be said. Or at least that's what I think."
Merlin looked at Azkedelia. "So Az, what are you doing on tomorrow night?"
Azkedelia looked at her lap. "Cleaning up the fight scene. Like I'm supposed to be right now." She jumped off the arch.
"Come on, I'll take you back." Merlin stood behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist again.
He whispered the incantation they took off in the night sky.

School of chess
A school of chess means a chess player or group of players that share common ideas about the strategy of the game. There have been several schools in the history of modern chess. Today there is less dependence on schools – players draw on many sources and play according to their personal style.
In 1749, François-André Danican Philidor published Analyse du jeu des Échecs. This was the first book to discuss the strategy of chess in the whole in detail. It was also the first to discuss the interplay of pieces and pawns in the game. Philidor believed that maintaining the mobility of pawns was the most important strategic factor of chess, and he discussed pawn structure, particularly isolated pawns, doubled pawns, and backward pawns.
Philidor's writings were widely praised and misunderstood for 90 years. His ideas were taken up by the English school in the 1840s. In 1925 Aron Nimzowitsch recognized the importance of pawn mobility. Philidor has increasingly been recognized as the founder of modern chess strategy (Hooper & Whyld 1992:359).
Modenese school[edit]
The Modenese school is due to three 18th-century players known as the Modenese Masters: Domenico Lorenzo Ponziani, Giambattista Lolli, and Ercole del Rio. They recommended playing the Italian Game opening. In contrast to Philidor's idea of pawn structure and mobility, the Modenese school emphasized rapid development of the pieces for an attack on the opposing king, aiming for checkmate or winning material in the process. This style of play was used by Gioachino Greco, Alessandro Salvio, and other Italian players of the 16th century (Sunnucks 1970:309–10).
English school[edit]
The English school was founded by Howard Staunton in the 1840s. His followers included Bernhard Horwitz, Elijah Williams, Marmaduke Wyvill, and to some degree Adolf Anderssen and Daniel Harrwitz. In this style, there was no quick attack on the opposing king. Instead, the position was prepared – control was gained over the center and key points. Attacks came only after strategic advantages were obtained. Pieces were developed behind pawns to support their advance. Staunton pioneered the use of flank openings and the fianchetto of the bishop. After Staunton practically retired in 1853, these ideas were neglected.
Romantic chess[edit]
Romantic chess was the style of chess prevalent in the 19th century. It was characterized by brash sacrifices and open, tactical games. Winning was secondary to winning with style, so much, in fact, that it was considered unsportsmanly to decline a gambit (the sacrifice of a pawn or piece to obtain an attack). It is no coincidence that the most popular openings played by the Romantics were the King's Gambit Accepted and the Evans Gambit Accepted. Some of the major players of the Romantic era were Adolf Anderssen, Paul Morphy and Henry Blackburne. A famous game of this time is the Immortal Game between Anderssen and Lionel Kieseritzky. The Romantic style was effectively ended on the highest level by Wilhelm Steinitz, who, with his more positional approach, crushed all of his contemporaries and ushered in the modern age of chess.
Classical school[edit]
Around 1860 Louis Paulsen realized that many attacks on the king succeeded because of poor defense. Wilhelm Steinitz agreed with that and rejected the prevailing notion that attack was more honorable than defense. Steinitz strengthened defensive techniques and advocated strategic maneuvering to gain enough of an advantage before launching an attack. Steinitz was an advocate of the queenside pawn majority and the use of the bishop pair. He also emphasized occupation of the center of the chessboard and pawn structure. Steinitz began using his ideas in games in 1872. Steinitz had few followers at first, but by the 1890s most masters had been influenced by his ideas. Siegbert Tarrasch was a great promoter of the Steinitz school.
Hypermodern school[edit]
The hypermodern school was founded by Aron Nimzowitsch, Richard Réti, Savielly Tartakower, Gyula Breyer, and Ernst Grünfeld in the 1920s (Averbakh 2012:81). The hypermodernists rejected the idea that occupation of the center was important. Instead, the hypermodern school emphasizes control of the center by attacking it with pieces especially from the periphery. The hypermodern school also denied the superiority of the two bishops in all types of positions and claimed that the bishop pair was only strong in open or semi-open positions [1] (Averbakh 2012:81).
Soviet hegemony[edit]
In the 1940s the Soviet Union began a long domination of chess. The Soviet school agreed with Tarrasch and emphasized mobility. A weakness that could not be attacked was not a real weakness. The Soviet school was based on teachings of Mikhail Chigorin (1850-1908).

Caleb: Sister.Mature
My sister? I had a one night stand with my sister?
I could not believe it. Was it true? My mother's expression looked serious, and as the seconds dragged on by I realised that a camera crew wasn't going to appear on set.
"Caleb, you look a little pale. Are you alright?"
"Uh y-yeah," I stammered, fixing my sight on the floral carpet below and feeling my insides twist with uncomfortable guilt. "W-where's your bathroom?"
"Karen will show you," she replied.
From the corner of my eye I saw her give an equally shocked and repulsed Karen a sharp nudge. Karen took a hesitant stepped backwards before, noticing her mother's absorbing eyes on the both of us, she plastered on a somewhat neutral facial expression and led me down the hallway.
I got to the bathroom just in time. Throwing open the toilet seat, I ducked down and vomited all that I had eaten that day - and probably that month too. I then flushed the chain and wobbled over to the sink to wash my mouth out.
Inside the bathroom mirror I could see my horrific appearance. My pallid complexion was layered with a sheet of sweat and it made the bag under my eyes much darker than I remembered them. The hair on my head was untamed and restless, not the flawless style I had combed it into at the airport's men's toilet only an hour previous to me entering this household. Or should I say hell?
Normally this messiness would have been a complete embarrassment to me and I would not have left this bathroom until I looked at the very least my usual handsome self. But at that point in time all I could think of was the spontaneous night of passion I had spent with the woman I had just recently found out to be my sister. And what was worse was the fact that, ignoring the furious outcome that exploded on the morning after, I would have easily placed that night in my top ten.
Eventually, I decided to man-up and stumbled out the bathroom short of being a nervous wreck. The only piece of wisdom my father gave to me rung like a warning bell in my mind.
"You can choose to sin, boy, but you cannot choose the consequences."
If only I had heeded those words he had uttered to me on the night of junior prom I might not have gotten myself into this shithole.
"There you are!" my mother beamed, still oblivious to the whole situation. "I was starting to think that you had fallen in."
She chuckled and led me into the living room where Karen sat perched on a worn sofa. I instantly choose the seat furthest away, refraining from any eye contact.
"I'll go make some tea," my mother said, her perkiness swallowed up by the malfeasance that filled the room. "You kids try not to have too much fun when I'm away."

At this point in time the first 3D comics began to appear. The first 3D title was Mighty Mouse, as published by St. John Publishing and drawn by Joe Kubert. Mighty Mouse was no small feat, as it sold over one million copies. With this new wave of comic book style, their distributor asked that the first issue of Get Lost be done in the same 3D format.
Declining to produce Get Lost as a 3D book, the pair quickly produced romance titles in 3D. Bigger companies, such as DC Comics and Timely Comics (the forerunner to Marvel Comics) didn't touch the 3D look with any large amount of investing. They played the market in a smart manner, whereas the many smaller comic companies saw the 3D look as their big break.
In the late 1980s, Get Lost was reprinted by New Comics with new covers from Brian Bolland and Paul Gulacy, along with re-creations of the original series covers by Andru & Esposito on the rear. Stories from Heart and Soul eventually saw reprint in the Simon and Kirby edited Prize Comics line. According to Joe Simon, Simon and Kirby never received any inventories of any artists, including that of Andru and Esposito and MikeRoss. However Heart and Soul stories by both Andru and Andru & Martin Rosenthall did appear in the Simon and Kirby packaged Prize Publications line, and Rosenthall recalls that, "Jack Kirby was interested in buying up our entire unpublished inventory. We piled up the pages, mainly from my romance book (Heart and Soul). He gave us something like seven dollars a page for it, just so we could get something out of it. Those stories were published by Crestwood publications."
Leader News went bankrupt too. Mad sued them because they thought he'd set up the whole thing for us to do Get Lost, which was like Mad. They thought that Leader was sponsoring us and feeding us all these ideas and beating Mad to the punch by about a month. It wasn't that we were getting any information, these were things that we'd thought up and went ahead and did. But Mad blamed Mike Estrow and Leader News and they sued Leader News to get out of their contract and go it alone and eventually they went to DC's distributor, National Periodicals. Then Leader News started to go bankrupt because they'd lost their main client, which was Mad Magazine. Mad then sued Ross and me to get us off the stands. We won the case but we lost the war because they knocked us out of the box distribution-wise, we had no distributor and Mad went on to be unbelievably successful. We were pretty successful in that Mad were worried. The first issue had appeared and the distributor said, "We've got a winner with Get Lost". Then all hell broke lose and everything went down the tubes.
The name Robsjohn Gluck was yet another of Mike's aliases, in this case it was used as an alias for both Ross and Mike as a team, mainly to give the impression that several artists and writers were working on Get Lost. Artists Tony Mortellaro, Martin Rosenthall and Howard Post and writer/editor Yvonne Rae worked alongside Ross and Mike for Get Lost.
The story that comes after Mike's text piece was later redrawn and re-used for Mike and Ross's Up Your Nose (And Out Your Ear) magazine, but that's another story...but I Killed Cock Robin shows that Ross Andru and Mike Esposito could produce humour that could not only hold it's own with Mad Magazine, but actually go past it - Alex Toth told me that he how impressed he was with the pair's parody of Shane, Strain, over fifty years after the event. That's high praise indeed.
(originally appeared in Get Lost #1, March 1954)
by Mike Esposito & Ross Andru
It's a success story a real old fashioned American success story, the sort of story that brings a sob to your throat and a tiny little clutch to your heart. A story that begins in tragedy and ends... well nobody knows the end yet.
The story begins in Hell's Kitchen, that crummy, run down slum section of that great city New York City. Two waifs of the street meet by accident. Little Mike with boyish good humor puts his zip gun in Tiny Ross' mouth and pulls the trigger ... but something stops his finger. There's a look in Tiny Ross' eyes, a friendly, lost look. Ross' little eye balls spin, particularly the little red eyes in the middle of his forehead. Little Mike looks on entranced, the gun drops from his limp fingers, suddenly with mad frenzy he shouts; a nickel on Red Eye to win! Tiny Ross' eyes slow down in their crazy spin, one by one they stop ... and. and ... RED EYE WINS BY AN EYELASH! Tiny Ross spits a dime into Little Mike's hand, he pays off two to one.
Little Mike has won his first bet.
Thus do tiny things change men's lives. The boys are now chums, they grow up to¬gether. They go to P.S 138 together. They go to reform school together; they go to the High School of Music and Art together.... why they even go on their first date together and then have the same cell in Sing Sing together.
They are grown men now and for business reasons they call themselves Mike Esposito and Ross Andru. (It was a bum rap, and be¬sides it was two other guys what done it.) But to their friends they will always be Little (love the ponies) Mike and Tiny (four eyes) Ross.
It was at C&I that they first got their start. It was in life class, they were copying figures from the wall of the little room on the second floor. An idea struck Ross he dropped his pencil and clutched Mike by the windpipe. His little red eyes fluttered and he said in his own charming Hells' Kitchen manner, "Let's drawr pitchers fer comic books!"
Mike smiled at the idea; all he could do was smile because Ross was still holding him by the windpipe. In a vain attempt to break the grip his head dropped forward. Ross thought he had nodded yes. That's how it all began.
Oh they were an instant success ... well; maybe not an instant success. It is true that they were turned down by all the publishers in the city but that was only prejudice. Then they hit on a plan that was an instant success. They borrowed a car and took an editor for a ride ... just a simple little ride in the country, when they returned the lucky editor was happy to buy their work. That happy editor was Mr. X. X. Wolf.
Mr. Wolf bought everything that the boys turned out, which wasn't much. They were slower than youngsters trying to get along, tough little champions turning out no more thin two or three pages an hour. But the good times wouldn't last. Mr. Wolf folded and all of his checks were sent to Akron to be made into automobile tires. The boys lost the car at Jamaica and there was a short lag between jobs.
Nine years later Mike was still selling knishes on 14th Street and Ross was posing for the before pictures in the Charles Ulysses ads. Then came their lucky break.
Mike sold a blind man a knish and (by mistake of course) short-changed him two dollars. An hour later, when he noticed the bill wick to the palm of his hand, it was too late to catch the man. It is of course unlucky to spend a two dollar bill so he threw it away. It was a lovely day at Jamaica. Mike threw the bill away in front of the $2 window and found a ticket stuck to the palm of his hand that said. HAIRY NOSE to win ... 269 to l. He laughed and laughed and showed the ticket to the man in the window. The man paid off while Mike had been laughing Hairy Nose had won by a hair.
Mike swallowed and said; "Well I'll be SNKFUDEW". The man gave him a ticket on Snkfudew, a real dark horse that was pegged at 592 to 1.
Snkfudew won by a fssded.
As lucky Mike staggered out, his pockets stuffed with greenbacks, he spotted Ross touting behind a pillar. Ross had lost his job, a steady diet of Won Ton with double kreplach had made him too fat for the before ads. They embraced and tears of sheer joy ran from all six of their eyes.
How to spend the money that was the question. Having a keen grasp of world, a piercing insight into business problems and being essentially simple minded, they went into publishing.
Ross said, with a flash of inspiration, "What'll we publish?" Mike was thinking, always a painful operation for him, and re-sented the interruption. "Get lost!" he growled.
"Dat's a good title!" Ross chortled, carried away by the painful brilliance of the remark.
Thus a great magazine was born.
No expense was spared in preparing the first issue. As much as 11cents a day was spent on postcards to artists. Only the finest artists were considered for the position of staff artist. Leon¬ardo daVinci, Michelangelo, Van Gogh and Robsjohn Gluck. Robsjohn Gluck was hired.
A trained crew of men was sent to scour the bowery. There, under a garbage can, taking the cold turkey cure was Harrischlamer Har¬rikramiflammis. He had a typewriter clutched to his narrow chest and was waiting for the pawn shops to open. At first he thought Mike was a mouse and Ross a bat, but fresh air and black coffee dispelled this illusion. He agreed to work on the magazine.
Three years of patient effort produced this result. The red ink is made from ground rubies; the paper is manufactured from a secret formula and consists mainly of Redwood logs, Ry Krisp, and Won Ton soup. This magazine is distributed by trained anteaters and is found only on every newsstand.
That is how it all began, all that can be said now is:

Video and Image Gallery: Yamaha Motobot
Yamaha has unveiled Motobot Version 1 at the Tokyo Motor Show, a humanoid robot that is capable of riding a motorcycle. Built by Yamaha Research and Development team in Iwata, the objective was to create a robot capable of riding a production motorcycle (a YZF-R1M as seen in the video and images) at speeds in excess of 125 mph on the race track. According to Yamaha, the technology learned from the project will be applied to more advanced electronic safety systems in the future. Check out the video below to see the Motobot in action, and check out a second video on the Yamaha Motor Ventures & Laboratory YouTube page where the Motobot challenges Valentino Rossi to a duel.

What If You Could Create a True Residual Income
That Involved No Over Priced Products to Sell,
No Monthly Fees and High Customer Retention?
I don't like hype, so I will try to dumb this down and not get carried away with painting pictures of living the dream and 'creating a six figure income for doing nothing'.
Firstly if you believe that you can create a real income by doing nothing, then I suggest you click away right now because there is no such thing as money for nothing and I only work with people who have some work ethics and understand that true results only come from working to get them.
Former Struggling Network Marketer and Aussie Mum Reveals this Unique and Sustainable Business Model that Networking Veterans are All Fired Up About and Restoring Their Faith in Residual Income.
My mentor,Jenni Ryan,personally sponsored 95 people in 18 months.Here is some of what she says
"I have been in the industry for 10 years and the first 4 years i failed miserably trying to sell nutritional products and recruit like crazy to sustain some sort of income , which ultimately almost cost my marriage and resulted in a whole lot of unwanted debt.
I thought I was doing everything right! I was following my uplines advice to the T
Eventually I came online and after much, much hard work and determination went on to become very successful in the online marketing community and made as much as $10k in a day. Now I don't say this to impress you, because if you really knew how hard I had to work to get there, it's seriously not that impressive.
Then I Teamed Up with Some Other Marketers
to Go on and Build a Top Producing Partnership
And Becoming One of the Biggest Producers in that Company
Things were great! We were smashing goals, driving tons of traffic and converting people into that program like wildfire. In some of the earlier months we were doing over $100k in a month in sales. We were presented with 2 master marketing awards on stage and we were buying our whole team dinner and drinks at events. We became the new hot shots of this community. We held trainings for our team and for the whole community.
Everything Was Going in the Right Direction …… Until
All of a sudden, our marketing came to a screaming halt when 2 of our best traffic sources shut our ads down all at once. This is common in the home business space unless you figure out how to write copy and build funnels that don't talk about making money or even hint at it.
The residual income component of this business model was only minimal so unless we were producing a LOT of traffic then everything came to a halt. It took a long time to get back on top of things, but eventually we saw less and less results and worst of all…. our team was also NOT getting results . Ethically we couldn't bring anyone into a system that could not help the average person get results."
Duplication is Only Achievable When The Biggest Obstacle is Removed –Selling Over Priced Products to Family and Friends.
In my previous MLMs , the biggest challenge was duplication and helping other people get results.
If you can't help others get results then there is something wrong with either your business model or the system. It took me a long while to understand this, so don't worry if you haven't quite got there yet.
In my 5 years that I spent spinning my wheels in MLM, the biggest issues were retention and duplication.
No one could duplicate.
The majority of people even struggled to sell products, so they end up spending ridiculous amount of money on auto-ships or monthly minimum purchases to retain their qualifications and eventually they would quit because they were drowning in debt and no closer to their goals.
This is exactly why I and many other leaders in the industry are ditching the traditional MLM comp plans and high ticket direct sales companies for this completely unique business model.
Here are some of the direct benefits of this new business model that has piqued the interest of very experienced Networkers because it allows the average person to be able to build a potentially very profitable business with long term residual income.
- No over priced products to sell
- No sign up fees or monthly costs
- Brings customers and retail merchants together for a win win situation
- 47,000 new customers a week globally
- 12 year old company
- Open in over 45 countries and rapidly expanding into Asia and other continents
No auto-ship
Introducing Lyoness… the World's largest global shopping network with a cash back card that you can use at 30,000+ merchants around the world. Watch the short Overview to learn why 20 year veterans in MLM have ditched their dead downlines and over priced products for this new model.
Watch video here
Please note: Although the presentation says is addressing Australia/NZ the model works the same in all 46 countries that are open the only difference is each country has different merchants.
I have never seen a better opportunity to truly change your financial future. No need to sell juices, shakes or jewellery. Instead it's possible to create a residual income and solid business on everyone's every day shopping (gas, groceries and clothing) around the world purchased from the thousands of loyalty merchants within Lyoness.
One of the biggest frustrations in MOST MLM or Network Marketing companies is the constant attrition and the large volumes of people you need to sponsor to be able to create any sort of income. Often people are caught in the 1 step forward and 3 steps back because of how many people quit!
Here is a chart that outlines the benefits of the unique business model of Lyoness Vs traditional MLM. Lyoness is a shopping network that has a residual income component that is paid to you if you refer others to shop through the Lyoness network. Simple.
One of the many things that has disheartened me in both network marketing and online marketing is what most people in the industry already know is that it is A LOT harder than it looks or anyone tells you. In fact very few people ever make any money... no matter how hard they try!
The majority of people quit before they ever turn a profit or even break even. Frustrated, feeling disappointed and feeling like a loser they give up on their dreams and goals and 'settle' for the less than fruitful life of never ending debt and spinning their wheels.
When my mentor Jenni Ryan showed me Lyoness,I knew I had come across something special. It ticked ALL the boxes and solved most of the hurdles and challenges the average person had because there is no over priced products to try to sell to your friends and family and there are no monthly costs. And given this very reason, as you can imagine, the retention rate is very high because why would you quit when it's not costing you anything and you are getting cash back on your every day purchases through our many loyalty merchants.
On the next page I cover some of the reasons NOW is the time to get started.

Todd, I totally agree with Tony Larussa from Indianapolis with regards to retiring Brett's jersey number. I agree that number 4 should be retired the day Brett is inducted in the Football Hall of Fame.
There is a lot of logic in what Tony says regarding Brett and his family, leave them alone for a
while, let them get settled into a family routine. It will take a while for them to get settled
and if anyone deserves it, it is the Favre family.

Pacman a Pack man?
All your points are well taken and true your point of (Rob) Davis, now in personnel, and to help cornerbacks (Al) Harris & (Charles) Woodson is a positive. Also, Jones is definitely meets the Packers MO for needs.
One, there not enough strip joints in Green Bay for Pacman, no action for a punk, and K. Robinson or Rison were not thugs. Pacman J. is a "THUG IDIOT" … hanging out with people that carry guns and thinking they need to prove there manhood. Thompson knew Robinson and already had a relationship. TT doesn't have the communication skills to get to know someone who is this trouble. Besides that Randy Moss scared TT.
Now if Ron Wolf was still GM then I'd say yes there is a possibility because he took those kind of chances and knew how to talk to players. If Reggie White, Keith Jackson, Eugene Robinson, Butler, Sean Jones were on the team then maybe, but I think the Packers are short on team leadership and or are searching for some.
Jan Mandel, firstname.lastname@example.com, Phoenix, AZ
Rosenfels would be great, Taylor even better
I agree that the Packers should trade for Rosenfels. However I think one of their two second round picks should be dangled in front of the Dolphins for Jason Taylor. So perhaps a third round draft pick is the highest that should be offered to the Texans. I mean, would you rather have Taylor or Rosenfels? Rosenfels may help salvage a season if Rodgers goes down or doesn't work out, but between free agency and the upcoming draft, what have the Packers done to improve? Draft picks may develop into stars but the odds of the Packers landing an instant star are slim to none this year. Taylor is a dangerous weapon now. Rosenfels is just an insurance policy with a decent amount of upside.
What do you think would scare Tarvaris Jackson, Rex Grossman, and Jon Kitna
more? Signing Taylor or Rosenfels?

- - 4-stroke 6 hp Tohatsu Outboard Issues (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/gear-maintenance/103986-4-stroke-6-hp-tohatsu-outboard-issues.html)
4-stroke 6 hp Tohatsu Outboard Issues
I recently bought a slightly used (told there were about 10 hours on it) tohatsu 4-stroke 6hp outboard motor to use with a mercury inflatable dinghy. I took it out for the first time this weekend and it ran great on its first trip.
When I took it out again the next day, it seemed to be working well again, but after about 30 minutes of use it seemed to suddenly make a more high-pitched noise and became what I describe as "jerky" or "jumpy." It almost seemed as if it might stall, but when i turned down the throttle a bit it still seemed run somewhat smoothly (still sounded a bit louder and high-pitched).
I was wondering if anyone might have an idea as to what caused this - I have a few thoughts/things to add:
-I believe the motor is due for an oil change. The person I bought it from said it could use one in the near future.
-I used the gas that was sitting in the fuel tank when I bought it. I'm not sure how old it was and in retrospect this was probably a bad idea. Could this be the issue?
Re: 4-stroke 6 hp Tohatsu Outboard Issues

Bad gas is responsible for most operating problems. Try putting carberator cleaner in the tank and running it through. But first; does your motor have a window so you can see the oil level in the engine? I believe it should. Is the level at 1/2 way up that window? Do you have enough oil? If so, it's undoubtably bad fuel.
Keep a stabilizer in your fuel so you avoid this problem in the future.
Re: 4-stroke 6 hp Tohatsu Outboard Issues
Bad gas, bad oil, I'm guessing this motor sat for a while. You should really do a thorough tune up. Engine oil and filter, lower gear case oil, fuel filter, air filter (probably just a washable element, spark plug, zincs (if more than half worn). You can try to run carb cleaner through the carburetor directly, such as Valvtec Marine Motor De-Carb. I'm not sure that adding to the fuel will do much, if she is already showing signs of trouble. You may need to re-build the carb altogether. You bought a low time engine, but sitting idle is worse than being used and having more hours.
By the way, were you getting a good tail of water flowing out from the cooling?
Re: 4-stroke 6 hp Tohatsu Outboard Issues
The stalling is usually not serious... the high pitched sound? Worries me....I can only guess...... is the oil full? Perhaps a vacuum line popped off? There is one from the crank vent to the carb....
Re: 4-stroke 6 hp Tohatsu Outboard Issues
Check the gear shifter linkages. The high pitch sound, may be the motor slipping in and out of neutral.
The jumpy/jerky feel may be the motor shifting in and out of gear.
Re: 4-stroke 6 hp Tohatsu Outboard Issues
Since the motor is new to you also check the lower unit for lubricant.

Bargain of the week: BA on sale
The sub-£200 fare to New York is back - which shows the scale of the problems facing British Airways. The UK's largest airline averted a strike this week, but the threat of industrial action has hit advance bookings for this month and next. To get passengers on board, BA (0870 850 9 850; www.ba.com) is offering half a million seats at deep discounts on normal prices for travel in February and March.
Besides £198 return from Heathrow to New York, the airline is selling Californian destinations - Los Angeles and San Francisco - for £288; a weekend surcharge of £15 each way applies on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays on US flights.
To Asia, the bargains apply to a very limited range of dates in late February/early March. Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Tokyo are available for £299 return.
Bologna, Bordeaux or Zurich are on offer from Gatwick for £59 return. The first £10 of these fares goes straight to the government in Air Passenger Duty.
Book by midnight on Tuesday, 6 February.
Warning of the week: holiday romances
People travel in search of adventure and new experiences, which often includes sex. Casual encounters tend to increase while abroad, not least because travellers frequently meet new people. Add the fact that alcohol intake increases, because there is no need to get up for work the following morning, subtract the disapproval of family and friends (as they are many miles away) and the result is a potent threat.
Whatever your moral stance, the statistics are shocking. Casual sex is riskier in Bangkok than in Bangor, yet one in three male visitors to Thailand has sex with prostitutes. One in eight cases of sexually transmitted diseases in the UK is contracted abroad. Half of male medical students from Britain fail to practise safe sex abroad.
As one travel medicine specialist warns: "The speed of travel means you can be home and spreading infection before symptoms appear."
Other health risks facing travellers are covered in the current edition of Radio 4's Case Notes, to which you can listen online via www.bbc.co.uk.Reuse content

Severely sun damaged skin (Photo)
I'm a 45 year old woman who is a past sun fanatic. In the past year or so I've noticed my skin severely breaking down, no surprise given the abuse from the years of sun tanning. Is there any procedure that will help reverse or diminish the crepey/wrinkley skin on my chest, legs, arms, hands and even feet? Would Fraxel or Ultherapy be of any help? It's depressing to know I can no longer comfortably wear shorts, t'shirts or even a bathing suit in public again.
Doctor Answers 5
Fraxel Can Repair Sun-Damaged Skin on Body
Fraxel lasers can indeed help repair some of the sun damage on your body and also stimulate the skin to produce new collagen, which will help it maintain elasticity. Consult with a board-certified dermatologist to discuss Fraxel and also a skin-care regimen that will let you take control of your aging process so that you feel comfortable in summer clothes again.
Web reference: https://clderm-cosmeticlaserder.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/groff-fraxel-skin-resurfacing-reviews.jpg
Multiple segmental treatments with Fractional laser possible
You have large areas of sun damage, and yes, treatments are possible. Off the face, Fraxel Co2, i.e. Fraxel Re:Pair has to be used in low density setting. My suggestion is that you combine topical such as high dose tretinoin and segmental laser. You will require multiple sessions over a course of 12 months. Aim for a segment at a time. Improvements are possible if you are motivated. My choice - Fractional Co2 given the amount of laxity over Fraxel 1550 and other wavelengths. 1927 will give you good decrease in pigmentation, especially if combined with IPL, but not the wrinkles. All the bestDr Davin Lim Laser DermatologistBrisbane, Australia.
Fraxel/ Halo for Sundamaged Skin
Fraxel will definitely help with resurfacing and improve your skin. Sciton's Halo is also a great option for treating sun damaged skin. Multiple treatments will be needed with both types of lasers and there will be some downtime but overall great results will be achieved if you have patience. Be sure to go to a reputable and an accredited medical provider who has experience with these two machines. Hope this helps! Remember to wear your sunscreen daily.

Extensive sun damage on extremities
These are very large surface areas to treat. Topical therapy with Environ products is what we recommend and begin with body peels. If not happy, RF devices which are superficial such as Exilis or Venus Freeze might help, but you need several treatments to get improvements.
Treatments for sun damaged skin
You should be initially be examined by a cosmetic dermatologist to make sure that you do not have any skin cancer. He/she can then recommend appropriate procedures and products that can help reverse your sun damage and prevent additional damage.
Sun protection is the most important treatment. You may be a candidate for photodynamic therapy with Levulan or Metvix, Fraxel DUAL laser, IPL or chemical peels. Often a combination of these treatments, along with creams such as tretinoin, can significantly improve sun damage.

text: Texas Tech safety Darcel McBath has proven he's ready for NFL Related Content 137301/VERNON BRYANT/Staff Photographer The Cowboys might target former Texas Tech safety Darcel McBath in the draft. Related Tags (BETA) Darcel McBath's first love is basketball. He always thought he was headed to the NBA. That's why he quit football his first two years at Gainesville High. "I was a basketball guy; I had basketball fever," McBath said. "I played AAU basketball, so I didn't have time for football. I played basketball year-round." McBath, though, regained his love for football as a junior, earned a scholarship to Texas Tech and now is projected as a second- or third-round NFL draft choice as one of the draft's top safeties. McBath began his career with the Red Raiders at corner before moving to safety, where he starred for three seasons. He finished his career with 218 tackles and 11 interceptions at safety, including 70 and six last season in earning All-Big 12 honors. "Playing defense in the Big 12 is no easy task," says NFL Draft Scout, a Web site devoted to the draft. "Neither is playing against the Raiders' offense every day in practice. McBath has the versatility and confidence to star in the secondary." Three Big 12 receivers are ranked among the top eight draft prospects at wideout, including McBath's teammate, Michael Crabtree, who could be a top-five pick. "I played some of the best receivers in the country, [against teams that] passed on almost every down," McBath said. "I think I'll be prepared in that aspect. I'll definitely be ready to defend the pass. I got the best of [Crabtree] most of the time." Overview Last year, one safety was selected in the first round. The New York Giants used the 31st and final pick in the first round on University of Miami safety Kenny Phillips. No safety has a first-round grade this year. There could be several safeties selected in the second round, including Western Michigan's Louis Delmas, Alabama's Rashard Johnson and Oregon's Patrick Chung. Top 5 Louis Delmas, FS, Western Michigan, 6-0, 202, 4.52: He is a four-year starter and a three-time all-conference player. Rashard Johnson, FS, Alabama, 5-11, 203, 4.49: The former walk-on had 224 career tackles and 11 interceptions. Patrick Chung, SS, Oregon, 5-11, 212, 4.49: He made 51 career starts with a team-leading 117 tackles in 2007 and 92 stops in 2008. William Moore, SS, Missouri, 6-0, 221, 4.56: He turned four of his 11 career interceptions into touchdowns. Chip Vaughn, SS, Wake Forest, 6-2, 221, 4.42: He is a two-year starter who averaged 90 tackles his final two seasons. Sleeper De'von Hall, SS, Utah State, 6-3, 212, 4.48: He had 72 tackles, four interceptions and seven pass breakups last season. Texas ties Darcel McBath, FS, Texas Tech, 6-0, 198, 4.58: McBath, who had 70 tackles and six interceptions last season, should be a second- or third-round pick. LendyHolmes, FS, Oklahoma, 6-0, 206, 4.69: The Dallas South Oak Cliff product had 79 tackles and five interceptions. Source: Heights, weights and 40 times were compiled from NFL Draft Scout.
