The Dark Side Of The New MOON KNIGHT
There's a new dawn coming for Marvel's Moon Knight this March. That might be mixing terms, but the Fist of Khonshu has always been a bit mixed up himself. But in the new series Moon Knight written by Warren Ellis, the titular hero has seemingly sorted out some of his earlier issues and is back in New York City in investigate the most exotic and unusual crimes in comics history.
"Moon Knight's been away, and he's since discovered something new about himself which has re-evaluated the approach to the character," series artist Declan Shalvey tells Newsarama. "As a result we're seeing a very different Moon Knight than we've seen before."
In this new Moon Knight series, the well-off white-clad vigilante will be peeling back the curtain on weird crimes happening in the multi-faceted world of the Marvel Universe. Marvel Senior Editor Stephen Wacker, who oversees Moon Knight, describes the upcoming ongoing as "tight, sophisticated New York action yarns about a twisted guy stumbling into doing the right thing."
The first issue's story, titled "Slasher," sees the one-time Avenger investigating a string of bodies found hacked up in downtown New York.
"Then things get weird," Shalvey both warns and promises.
Weird would also be a word to describe Moon Knight's complicated back-story and pathology. In an interviewwith The Los Angeles Times' Hero Complex, Ellis says that Marc Spector's received medical treatment for his mental health issues that have been a focus of the character's last series. The English writer says he's also worked to streamline the character's sometimes-convoluted relationship with the Egyptian god Khonshu who gave him a second life.
"I've tried to clean that up and bring more logic to it — as much logic as you can bring to a Marvel book involving someone brought back from the dead by an Egyptian god," Ellis told Hero Complex's Blake Hennon.
One thing that has been lost to the sands of time is Moon Knight's traditional superhero outfit. In the previews released last month, it showcased a new look for Moon Knight – one with a three-piece suit with a mask. Shalvey says that this will be the predominant look for Moon Knight in the series, and actually first appeared in Warren Ellis' brief run on Secret Avengers in an issue illustrated by Michael Lark.
The look was already established; I just fine-tuned it somewhat. Tailored the suit somewhat," Shalvey explains. "You'll probably notice I've incorporated the crescent moon motif where appropriate; it's in the interior design of his limo, it's in the buttons of his suit, etc. Saying that, I've done some other design work, but you'll have to follow the series to see what I'm talking about...."
Ellis and Shalvey are following in a long pantheon of comics creators who have worked on earlier Moon Knight series, and this rarefied list of talent is something that's weighed and inspired Shalvey for this new 2014 relaunch.
"Yeah, no pressure there, huh?" Shalvey says. "A lot of the artists on previous Moon Knight stories are some of my favorite artists, so I've already studied a lot of them. You can never go wrong with Bill Sienkiewicz, of course. I've also looked a lot at Alex Maleev's run on the series; I think he did some gorgeous work on Moon Knight and played with design a lot; something I'm very much trying to do. I quite like Tommy Lee Edwards' Moon Knight mini-series from back in the 90s too. I recently tracked down all those issues and they're great. What helps me is that we have a very different look for Moon Knight in this series, so it's stopped me from becoming too influenced on what's come before. Saying that, I've looked a lot of it up and am trying to use it all to help form my take on the character. It's certainly helped reinforce some ideas I've had on how the book should look."
Shalvey's influences for his work on Moon Knight go far beyond comics, however. The Irish comics artist says filmmakers such as Wes Anderson and Stanley Kubrick have heavily influenced his own storytelling sensibilities for this series.
"I've been trying to incorporate these elements into my storytelling more and Warren's scripts have given me plenty of opportunity to do so," Shalvey reveals. "Since I've decided to use greywash techniques on this series, I've also been looking at how some other artists have been using that technique. Gabriel Hernandez Walta, J.H. Williams III and Duncan Fegredo have been using washes of late, and I've been trying to figure out the best way the technique works for me. I definitely think I've worked out my approach, and anyone who has seen the pages seems to genuinely like them."
Although Shalvey's been a familiar name on the comics shelve sin recent years with work on Thunderbolts, Dark Avengers and Deadpool, this new Moon Knight series is the first time he's been in charge of establishing the visual identity of a book. And it's not something he's taking lightly.
"I've generally been the guy who follows acclaimed runs on books, never the guy who gets to establish them," the artist points out. "Now that I finally have that opportunity I want to take full advantage and try to create a distinct visual identity to the series. I've been wanting to do a signature piece of work at Marvel for quite a while now, and I'm very happy to finally have that opportunity, and with the creative team involved...? I'm clearly spoiled."
The creative team of Warren Ellis, Declan Shalvey and Jordie Bellaire isn't a team-up that comes around every day. Since 2011, Ellis has shifted most of his attention to prose fiction, doing only the occasional comics project. Series editor Stephen Wacker says this team fell into place after years of approaching Ellis for a project.
"About once a year I ask Warren to do a project...and he always turns me down. It's sort of a running joke at this point," Wacker admits. "But this time I dropped him an e-mail and he inexplicably said yes. It was as easy as that. I was pretty gobsmacked and assume he just thought I was somebody else."
According to Wacker, Shalvey and Bellaire were "the first and only" name brought up to work on Moon Knight with Ellis. Bellaire has come into popularity with a string of standout coloring work on books such as Pretty Deadly, The Manhattan Projects and Captain Marvel, and has worked with Shalvey on Deadpool and in some recent covers.
"I'm incredibly excited to see what Jordie does on the book," says Shalvey. "She did some amazing work on our recent Deadpool arc, but I've decided to do something different with Moon Knight, so I can't wait to see what she brings to these pages (I think it's safe to assume she'll make them look amazing). In a short space of time I think Jordie's become one of the best colorists in the industry and I'm delighted to have her on this series."
When asked about her plans for coloring Moon Knight, Bellaire describes her intent as it being her "David Fincher piece," evoking the blues, oranges and subtle greens of movies such as Se7en, Fight Club and Zodiac. The color artist notes that Moon Knight will be kept a solid white "against these lush backgrounds," emphasizing the contrasts between the hero and the world around him.
Bellaire, who shares a studio with Shalvey, describes the process of creating Moon Knight as extremely collaborative. The colorist specifically points to the covers, which will be simplistic, monochromatic and "feel a lot like old crime covers."
"We're all excited because we're all in the same groove--we're all into the same beats. So tonally I think we just wanted to be sure we're all the same page," the color artist explains. "This should be dark and urban, a real crime story."
"Come March," Shalvey adds," I hope that Moon Knight will be one of the best looking books on the stands. At the very least, I hope it stands out as being a book with a bold visual identity."

LA PAZ, Bolivia, June 28 (UPI) -- Bolivia will begin auditing foreign oil and gas companies operating in the country and will increase taxes on the operations.
The office of the president issued a statement saying Bolivia "wants to substantially improve its control over hydrocarbon production" and is planning to raise taxes on foreign companies, La Razon reported Tuesday.
Last month Bolivia raised taxes and tariffs on foreign petroleum companies to 50 percent, up from 18 percent.
The May increase came amid widespread protests calling for the nationalization of Bolivia's gas industry. For weeks protesters clogged the streets of major cities grinding Bolivia to a halt.
The increase in taxes didn't dissuade protesters who called for the resignation of then-President Carlos Mesa. The president stepped down earlier this month.
Supreme Court President Eduardo Rodriguez assumed the presidency after a special session of Congress appointed him Bolivia's next leader.
Elections were then moved ahead to December of this year, prompting protesters to end their campaign for the time being.

I'd be surprised if "Extreme Movie" didn't set a record for an extreme amount of credited writers: no less than TEN writers (including "SNL" writers Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, Will Forte and John Solomon) are credited with the script. While it's a bit more entertaining (although that's not saying all that much) than the "Movie" parodies by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer ("Date Movie", "Disaster Movie", "Epic Movie") one wonders if this picture was ignored because people thought it was another in a line of those sorts of parodies.
In fact, I was one of those people, and thought "Extreme Movie" was just another movie parody when it's a different creature entirely. The picture plays out like an "SNL" episode - rather than a cohesive film, it's actually a bizarre series of sketches - some of which get a chuckle and quite a few of which just fail entirely (largely because they revolve around stale sex jokes.) Some of them are funny just because they're awful.
The picture focuses on Mike (Ryan Pinkston, formerly of "Punk'd") trying to get Stacy (Cherilyn Wilson) to notice him. However, throughout the movie various obstacles get in the way. Between various scenes of Mike trying to figure out a way to talk to Stacy, we get a series of raunchy skits with other teens, including a couple of guys who try to create a woman using their computer and don't exactly get the results they wanted, a puppet who takes advantage when a guy leaves his girlfriend to go to the bathroom, one where a girl takes "comfortable" farting to a new level and a few other odds and ends (including actor Matthew Lillard doing PSA's.)
Before it's all over, we even get one of the worst comedic song-and-dance numbers I've seen in ages. There's also the matter of the budget: while "Date Movie" and "Epic Movie" were terrible, at least they could afford sets. "Extreme Movie" literally looks like it was thrown together over the course of a weekend for a few bucks (the budget was reportedly a million bucks, and I'm curious where that million bucks all went.) The two directors (who actually wrote to Dustin Hoffman and Gene Wilder about taking a role in the movie) were inspired by Woody Allen's "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask", and I can't imagine what Woody Allen would think about the results - while having a bunch of reasonably well-regarded writers all work together on a sketch comedy movie doesn't sound like a bad idea, the results are mostly a mess.
The performances don't help matters, unfortunately: Michael Cera and Frankie Muniz look uncomfortable in their scenes, and Pinkston appears almost bored. The only one who really throws themselves into the bit is Andy Milonakis, who plays a character who'd rather be in love with a fake girl than one of the popular girls at school.
There's something to the idea of a bunch of comedians working together on a sketch comedy movie, but the results here are subpar - while there are a few laughs to be found, I was hoping for more than stale bathroom humor.
The DVD
VIDEO: "Extreme Movie" is offered by Weinstein Home Entertainment in 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen. The picture quality is fine, offering the low-budget comedy with acceptable sharpness and detail; while the picture was never crystal clear, only a few scenes looked noticeably softer than the rest. Some slight grain is noticed on the print, but no print flaws are spotted. Colors looked natural and appeared accurately presented. Overall, this was a satisfactory presentation of a very basic-looking film.
SOUND: The film is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1, but given the material, a TV-like stereo soundtrack would have been just fine. There's just about no surround use, nor does the dialogue-driven film really need to open up beyond the front speakers. Audio quality was fine, with clear dialogue and music.
EXTRAS: Commentary from co-directors Adam Jay Epstein and Andrew Jacobson and a "making of" featurettes.
Final Thoughts: "Extreme Movie" isn't particularly extreme - it's a batch of sketches that - with a couple of exceptions - offer cliche lowbrow jokes. Given the history of some of the writers, I'm a little surprised that they couldn't come up with more. The DVD offers fine audio/video quality, as well as a couple minor extras.

Items from the Sun of January 13, 1953
New building construction and major remodeling jobs in Morris in 1952 represent an investment of approximately $450,000. It is reported by City Manager J. A. Mielke following a study of the building permits granted last year. In view of still tight credit restrictions, the scarcity of some materials, and still rising costs, the amount of building done in the city is regarded as an extremely fine showing. A total of 33 new homes were constructed in the city and the largest remodeling project last year was by Peace Lutheran church. The major business building projects for the year were the structures erected by the Tintera Implement Company and Elmer's Distributing. Largest remodeling project in the downtown business district was at the Messner Drug Store.
Minnesota's 47th Infantry "Viking" Division, including Company M of Morris, will return to the cities and towns of the state Jan. 16 after two years of active federal service. In simultaneous ceremonies conducted in 58 armories throughout Minnesota, 85 divisional units will return to National Guard status. The occasion will mark the second anniversary of the departure of the Vikings for Camp Rucker, Ala., in January, 1951.
Mrs. D. A. Rieber and son James left Sunday to visit Mr. and Mrs. John Heim and family at Fairfax Hills, Va. While there, they will also attend the inaugural of Dwight Eisenhower as president of the United States in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 20.

Tobie Jay Escher, named the winner of the First Baby of the Year contest at the Stevens County Memorial Hospital, made his public debut as he snuggled safely in the arms of his mother, Mrs. Dwayne Escher of Morris. Tobie Jay weighed in at eight pounds, 15 ounces on Wed. Jan. 3, to claim more than $60 in prizes for himself and his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Escher are both students at UMM, both majoring in physical education and sociology. Mr. Escher will graduate in the spring. Maternal and paternal grandparents are Mr. and Mrs. Lyle Bergner of New Richland and Mr. and Mrs. Merle Escher of Dumont.
The 4,500-seat Physical Education Center at the University of Minnesota, Morris is expected to be well filled Saturday afternoon, Jan. 13, when farmers, businessmen and others from a 15-county area gather to protest the Nixon administration's recent order to the Farmers Home Administration to quit making disaster loans to farmers in disaster areas where excessive moisture last year inflicted heavy damage. Initial plans for the mass meeting were started in Morris on Jan. 2 when a number of leaders of farm organizations in the county, businessmen and others met to discuss the USDA's unexpected and upsetting order, and to form an organization known as FUSE (Farmers United for Survival in Emergency). Plans were furthered at a statewide meeting in St. Paul last Saturday, attended by some 125 state officials, heads of all farm organizations, area legislators and others. About 40 persons, mostly farmers, from Stevens County attended the meeting.
Otter Tail Power Company plans to spend $30 million for construction in its three-state area during 1973, according to Albert V. Hartl, company president. The new Big Stone plant under construction near Milbank, S.D., accounts for a large portion of the figure, Hartyl said, indicating that during 1973 Otter Tail has earmarked slightly more than $20 million as its share of the plant's estimated total cost of $120 million. It is scheduled to be in operation by mid-1975.
Thomas E. Sullivan, son of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy F. Sullivan, rural Morris, became a member of the United States Air Force at Fargo, Jan. 2, and is presently undergoing six weeks of transitional training at Lackland Air Force Base, San Antonio, Texas. Upon completion of the six week transitional training, he will begin his specialized training in electronics, the field of his choice before enlisting.

Mass Effect 3 - Demo Impressions @ GameBanshee
Gamebanshee has written a twopage preview for this game, based on their hands-on experience with the demo. A quote:
It's very clear from this demo, and from much of what we've seen of the game elsewhere, that Mass Effect 3 is being marketed as an action game first and a role-playing game second. While that was true of Mass Effect 2 as well, there are few dialogue options or choices to make during the demo, and the focus on forward momentum and moving through one set-piece to the next serves to reinforce that Mass Effect 3, at least on the surface, is more interested in paying tribute to Gears of War than Knights of the Old Republic.
Another quote:
Like the Reapers set to take over the galaxy, however, I admit that there are some doubts in my mind Mass Effect 3, and the time I spent with the game did not help diminish them. I haven't yet mentioned the game's dialogue yet, and with good reason: to be frank, I found it rather poor. It's clear that BioWare were going for a strong action film aesthetic, with pithy remarks on war and one-liners every few minutes, and it just does not work. Mass Effect, while cinematic, has always managed to avoid going into Die Hard territory... when Shepard utters lines like "we fight or we die!", or watches a young boy get blown up by the Reapers while a soft piano score plays, I found it hard to avoid rolling my eyes. Even picking Earth as an invasion site comes across as a little manipulative rather than dramatic - it seems the "humans are special" rule is in full force here.

SAN ANTONIO – On Sunday, Beaumont (Texas) West Brook's Christine Michael said at registration for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl last Sunday that he plans to pick the Aggies when he announces his decision during the game. He lived up to his word by announcing for the Aggies just moments ago on live television.
"Going to A&M, felt right at home there," Michael said. "The fans were nice. The coaches were nice. They accepted me as a person. I'm real respectful of them and they were real respectful of me. I felt like I was at home."

Texas A&M loses Jorvorskie Lane, who has completed his eligibility, and Mike Goodson is expected to declare early for the NFL Draft so there is an opportunity for early playing time. That was one of the deciding factors in his decision. Also fighting for playing time will be Cyrus Gray, who rushed for 363 yards and a touchdown as a freshman.
"They (the coaches) said they would put me out there my first year and they would build the offense around me," Michael said. "That's another reason."
Michael, a 5-foot-11, 202-pound back who rushed for about 1,700 yards with 29 touchdowns on 189 carries this season. He rushed for 28 scores as a junior and 21 TDs as a sophomore.
Rivals.com rates him as the fourth-best running back in the country behind Miami commit Bryce Brown, Alabama pledge Trent Richardson and Notre Dame commit Cierre Wood. He's eighth in the Texas top 100 and No. 28 in the Rivals top 100 of 2009.

Computer Clouds, Promise and Perils
Jonathan Zittrain has a superb Op-Ed in The New York Times on the various risks attendant to cloud computing. He writes:
The cloud, however, comes with real dangers.
Some are in plain view. If you entrust your data to others, they can let you down or outright betray you. For example, if your favorite music is rented or authorized from an online subscription service rather than freely in your custody as a compact disc or an MP3 file on your hard drive, you can lose your music if you fall behind on your payments — or if the vendor goes bankrupt or loses interest in the service. Last week Amazon apparently conveyed a publisher's change-of-heart to owners of its Kindle e-book reader: some purchasers of Orwell's "1984" found it removed from their devices, with nothing to show for their purchase other than a refund. (Orwell would be amused.)
Worse, data stored online has less privacy protection both in practice and under the law. A hacker recently guessed the password to the personal e-mail account of a Twitter employee, and was thus able to extract the employee's Google password. That in turn compromised a trove of Twitter's corporate documents stored too conveniently in the cloud. Before, the bad guys usually needed to get their hands on people's computers to see their secrets; in today's cloud all you need is a password.
Thanks in part to the Patriot Act, the federal government has been able to demand some details of your online activities from service providers — and not to tell you about it. There have been thousands of such requests lodged since the law was passed, and the F.B.I.'s own audits have shown that there can be plenty of overreach — perhaps wholly inadvertent — in requests like these.
The cloud can be even more dangerous abroad, as it makes it much easier for authoritarian regimes to spy on their citizens. The Chinese government has used the Chinese version of Skype instant messaging software to monitor text conversations and block undesirable words and phrases. It and other authoritarian regimes routinely monitor all Internet traffic — which, except for e-commerce and banking transactions, is rarely encrypted against prying eyes.
With a little effort and political will, we could solve these problems. Companies could be required under fair practices law to allow your data to be released back to you with just a click so that you can erase your digital footprints or simply take your business (and data) elsewhere. They could also be held to the promises they make about content sold through the cloud: If they sell you an e-book, they can't take it back or make it less functional later. To increase security, companies that keep their data in the cloud could adopt safer Internet communications and password practices, including the use of biometrics like fingerprints to validate identity.
And some governments can be persuaded — or perhaps required by their independent judiciaries — to treat data entrusted to the cloud with the same level of privacy protection as data held personally. The Supreme Court declared in 1961 that a police search of a rented house for a whiskey still was a violation of the Fourth Amendment privacy rights of the tenant, even though the landlord had given permission for the search. Information stored in the cloud deserves similar safeguards.
But the most difficult challenge — both to grasp and to solve — of the cloud is its effect on our freedom to innovate. The crucial legacy of the personal computer is that anyone can write code for it and give or sell that code to you — and the vendors of the PC and its operating system have no more to say about it than your phone company does about which answering machine you decide to buy. Microsoft might want you to run Word and Internet Explorer, but those had better be good products or you'll switch with a few mouse clicks to OpenOffice orFirefox.

A CLAMPDOWN on knife crime in Southend has led to 27 per cent fewer offences being reported.
Police in the town launched an operation in June, after figures released earlier in the year, showed a 31.8 per cent increase in offences involving weapons, mostly knives.
The increase reported between March 2013 and February this year was significantly greater than that in any other Essex police district.
Countywide, recorded crime involving weapons also increased, but only by 8.3 per cent.
However, the latest figures – for the period August 2013 to July 2014 – saw 195 crimes involving knives recorded in Southend – 72 fewer than for the same period the year before, a 27 per cent reduction.
Violent offences where a knife was used, as opposed to simply being shown also reduced, by 29 per cent.
Police recorded a 13 per cent increase in the number of possession offences – but say this was because they were actively looking for weapons.
The town's police commander, Chief Insp Simon Anslow, said: "A proportion will undoubtedly be down to our proactive policing.
"I am not concerned about the increase in possession offences, because we are out there specifically looking for them."
The knife problem was tragically highlighted by the fatal stabbing of Hassan Mohammed Ibrahim in York Road last month.
By the time of his death, police had already seized several weapons using stop-and-search powers, covering the town centre. After Mr Ibrahim's death, they applied for rarely-used extra powers, allowing them to stop and search anyone without having to prove they suspected theymight be armed.
Officers have also mounted extra patrols in the streets where knife crime was most common.
This will continue throughout August in London Road, and Fairfax Drive, Westcliff, and York Road, Hastings Road, East Street and Southchurch Road, Southend, plus the High Street and seafront.
Mr Anslow added: "I'm delighted at the reduction in the use of knives in violent offences.
"We havemore people working with a proactive direction there and they have found more weapons and drugs.
We have also had a significant reduction of robberies – threats involving a knife are common in robberies in Southend."

Italians say priests should marry as confidence in Pope falls
Sophia Loren had a romantic problem with Marcello Mastroianni in this 1971 film because he was a man of the cloth. But attitudes have changed since The Priest's Wife was released and now a majority of Italians believe that priests should be allowed to marry, according to an opinion poll.
The survey, by the polling organisation Demos, came as Catholic bishops in Austria called on the Vatican to open up the issue of priestly celibacy for discussion.
The survey, published yesterday in La Repubblica, showed that confidence in the Pope in Italy had dropped from 53.7 per cent in 2007 to 46.6 per cent, compared with 77.2 per cent for Pope John Paul II in 2003.
Sixty-two per cent said they believed that the Church…

July 17, 02003—The demand for much-needed action sports research was made apparent with the impressive turnout of those who attended the 1st annual European Boardsports Retailer Study Presentation at ispo trade show in Munich, Germany, June 29-July, 1, 2003. Presented by Label Networks and Boardsports 'Source' magazine, in co-operation with ispo, a diverse group of manufacturers, retailers, distributors, and media from various European countries attended the daily seminar, which was based on topline findings from the first annual European Boardsports Retailer Study 2003.
Manufacturers in attendance included Billabong's European General Manager Stéphane Weinhold, and 3 of his senior management, European Marketing Manager from Vans, Peter Dericks, the founders of Nikita, Heida Birgisdottir and Runar Omarsson, Strategic Brand Manager from O'Neill, Norbert Pollemans, Westbeach President, Micky McDonald, President of Rusty Europe, Chris Kypriotis, VP of Sales and Marketing from DaKine, Pat Frodel, plus other senior representatives from Salomon, Globe, adidas, K2, Völkel, GenX, Smith, and many others. Retailers including chains such as Titus and Sport-Scheck, and many smaller shops, mixed with media ranging from Transworld Surf Business, Transworld Skateboarding Business, SAZ, Sporting Goods Intelligence, Le Journal du Textile, Surf Magazine, and Adrenaline Magazine, among others.
In an effort to share fresh data vital to the boardsports industry, the 1-hour presentation outlined leading brands, new markets, dying markets, volume of sales, key influences, customer profiles, internet usage, trends, and projected growth opportunities from a pan-European perspective, by sport, and in some cases, by country. The European Boardsports Retailer Study is the first of its kind to provide the industries of snowboarding, skateboarding, and surfing with a key business tool for making successful strategies.
Questions following each day's presentation were broad, lasting often for up to a half hour. "There's definitely an education curve for some businesses that we're dealing with in the European boardsports industry, says presenter and Vice President of Label Networks, Kathleen Gasperini, "such as understanding how research is conducted, how to use it no matter what sized business you are, and the incredible value it provides. But the idea is catching on fast and people appreciated it.
Other questions included predictions and influences from other markets and countries. The presentation also emphasized the crossover influences of other action sports and the influences of mainstream youth culture on boardsports as the industry grows, particularly the influence of music and urban culture on action sports, fashion, and lifestyle.
"The landscape is changing and the (action sports) boundaries are being re-defined, continued Gasperini in the presentation. "It's important to know the state of the industry, in each country, where these influences are coming from, and where the market's headed.

Washington County 4-H'ers excel at Iowa State Fair and at home
As Washington County 4-H looks toward a new year and National 4-H Week, Oct. 6-12, the youth organization has new successes to propel them forward.
According to 4-H youth coordinator Amy Green, Washington County has the third highest enrollment in Iowa, with 400 plus members. The county's goal for the 2013-14 year is to enroll 450 members.
As leaders and members recruit new members they can point to the successes this year's members had at the Iowa State Fair. The county had 22 champions in livestock and non-livestock contests and 14 reserve champions. County 4-H'ers brought home 72 purple ribbons, 199 blue, 32 red, and two white. In communications, seven 4-H'ers received the excellence rating, seven earned the merit rating and three participation. The numbers include non-livestock and communications exhibitors.
"Washington County had more 4-H'ers involved in the swine show than any other county in Iowa," Green said. "This year a total of 14 champions and reserves were earned in the swine department with youth from Washington County. The top three market pigs of the entire Iowa State Fair were from Washington County 4-H."
There were a total 1,669 swine showed by 4-H'ers at the state fair. Sheep entries topped swine with 1,755. Beef entries totaled 1,669. Rabbits totaled 534; meat goats, 432; poultry, 412; dairy, 372; and horses, 281.
4-H'ers who show livestock at the state fair do not need to compete at the county level, as non-livestock and communications exhibitors do.
"Livestock is open enrollment, so if [4-H'ers] have the time and want to do that, they can," Green said.
She said it can take a couple of years for younger 4-H'ers to learn how to show livestock.
"We have a lot of kids who show not just in the county fair, but out and about at different shows," Green said. "They talk to people and they learn different ways of doing it."
She said that non-livestock exhibitors and communications have to qualify at the county fair in order to go to the state fair. Thanks to the strong enrollment, 59 4-H'ers went on to the state fair.
"How they decide how many projects you can take is based on your year's before enrollment," she said. "So we were, last year, sixth or seventh in the state for enrollment and that earned us so many spots."
As the Washington County 4-H organization moves forward, Green said that 4-H is changing.
"There's not as many country kids, so [we're] trying to tap into the town kids or city kids," she said. "There's so much now going on — a new curriculum is being made and programs are being offered."
As the county 4-H program grows, Green said the county needs to recruit more adult volunteers.
"We have some clubs in our Washington area that are getting bigger, bigger and bigger and Washington's our largest town in the county," she said. "Last year, we got to the point where I said we need more grownups."
Green said that 4-H likes the ration of one adult for every 10 4-H'ers. Adult volunteers are needed to help the 4-H clubs, but adults could also volunteer to help with one event or share their expertise in a way that doesn't ask them to volunteer on a monthly basis.
"We're always looking for volunteers," she said. "4-H can grow in a lot of angles."
One area of growth that began a few years ago was Clover Kids for children in kindergarten through third grade. There are eight Clover Kids' clubs.
"This year, we had over 160 kids, which is huge," Green said. "The most promising number — I think last year we had 25 third-graders and 23 of them enrolled in 4-H. It's good to see that when they graduate out, they're moving up. That's definitely important to us."
Another area of growth are two programs that seek to develop leadership skills in older 4-H'ers. Members who want to participate in County Council or on the ELITE project team first go through a training program called Leadership Development, which is for anyone who has reached ninth grade or above. The program is a yearlong commitment. Once 4-H'ers complete the training, they can apply to be on County Council or the ELITE team. The County Council is a well-developed program in the county, while the ELITE team is a recent addition.
Green said that so many older 4-H'ers wanted to be on County Council that the organization came up with another group.
"ELITE stands for Enthusiastic Leaders Inspiring Teamwork and Experiences," she said. "They plan two major new events. That group this [past] year decided we needed to invest in our intermediates, who are seventh-, eighth- and ninth-graders."
ELITE did an event for the intermediates in January that included some education and some fun. They also did the project "Little Hands on the Farm" at the county fair.
This past year, there was one 4-H member who joined as an independent member.
"We want to remain flexible for kids who don't fit a traditional club," she said. "They have a mentor and they are still required to do a presentation and community service."
Washington County has 17 clubs. There are two specialty clubs that meet— the Horse & Pony Club and Bows & Bullets.
For more information about 4-H, please call the Washington County Extension office at 319-653-4811.

Chapter VII. The English Common Law. Section 57. The Norman Conquest
A beautiy of
British Common Law is that it is STATIC, and NOT DYNAMIC as
these Activist Judges
would have you think.
Ask a lawyer what "Common Law" is and they will
likely tell you it is
"Judge Made Law", and expand up this to say
"Common Law is whatever the Judges are commonly saying these days".
This is
completely FALSE. The Judges are Agents of the Crown
and they BY DEFINITION Judges
are WITHOUT CAPACITY to make any law whatsoever. Since
1649, only PARLIAMENT
has the Capacity to make Law.
British Common law was NOT created by Judges, it was only observed
and documented by individuals sent out by the newly Norman Crown after
Norman Conquest of 1066 to observe and codify the laws and
customs of the various peoples of Britain.. This was done with a
view to aggregate existing customs which may vary across the land,
into a unified body of Laws. The Authority quoted by the Commoners
in their administration of
Common Law were frequently direct quotations from the
Bible and principles
The process of documentation took only a couple of
hundred years, and the product was a STATIC body of Law which was
historical, popular, and has served in the intervening centuries as a
Benchmark against which
Statutory Law may be measured for "Fairness".
It does NOT change.

Be on the lookout for the "Parent's Rights"
IMPOSTER. Insist on "Natural Parents Only", please!
It comes as a big surprise to us that many groups
that present themselves as
"Parents Rights" groups REFUSE to defend the
NATURAL PARENT, and and to demand
RESTORATION of
Natural Parents Rights taken from Canadians in the
Homosexual Marriage
Instead their position to promote the "rights" of
a "Parent" in the widest sense of the word, making NO distinction
between NATURAL PARENTS and wannaabe
Legal Parents. They have bowed to
University of Victoria's
assertion that the SCC's
Trociuk Decision
"endorses a
Heterosexual View of the Family and must be ignored",
legitimizing the ongoing
Trafficking by the State which views
children as State Property and merchandise for sale in the
lucrative Child Adoption
Market They refuse to be hampered by prior obligations to that
pesky Natural Parent who thinks they can
Veto an Adoption.
It appears that many
"Fathers Rights" groups commonly fall in with the United Nations and
Liberal Irwin Cotler's assertion that
Child's Right is to be protected, but the Natural Parent has
"NO RIGHTS", making the State, not
the Natural Parents the Protector of
the Child..

In June 1989,
Gisele Marie Goudreault, 46 disobeyed a court order to hand her son
Orey over to his father, Rod Steinmann of Ponoka, who had been awarded
custody. She fled with the boy to Mexico and lived there for four months
before moving to California. ... Justice Peter Martin condemned
which prevented Orey and his father from being together during the
child's formative years. "They had the right to know and
love each other. "That possibility was totally and irrevocably
destroyed," Martin said. "What this woman did to this man and this
child is every parent's nightmare."

Prior was before Judge David Orr without the benefit of a Jury.
Although six mental health professionals in an out-of-province
Assessment had described him as suffering from post-tramatic
stress, and NOT delusional, Judge Orr sent Byron from the Courtroom to
Newfoundland's Waterford Hospital where his wife
Dr. Dena Orr treats patients. The Waterford is also
where the sexually abused boys from the
Mount Cashel Orphanage
were sent from time to time.
Mount Cashel provided
the storyline for the
"Boys of St. Vincent" Biopic.
Byron says he protested his being assessed by
his Judges' wife, but
Dr. Dena Orr insisted her professionalism was sufficient to
permit her to assess Byron.
Assessment, of course
determines a patients treatment, medications, and the Conditions

That's not a problem, the game still has potential and even if it never turns into something material, it's good to know that it could have been something good, right? Right?But even BH, the basic concepts of the game and the mechanics were solid and very good. The implementation though...pretty piss poor.
Sir Charles, I respect your opinions and I know you've been around since...forever. But making UBI look almost free of guilt in this mess is the wrong choice. Publishers are responsible for the games they publish. They take the risks and, as a result, they receive the biggest share of their sales. Among their duties, it's QA (shared with the developer). You can usually see that in the credits. Now, tell me how (and this happened to me) huge oversights like making all the "exclusive" weapons, digital deluxe edition included, available for everyone at no monetary or dynasty point cost passed them by? Or the nice ability to compare achievements that made you effectively lose all of them? These are no simple bugs or misspelling errors. These are the kind of things that should have never seen the light of day had QA done its job.
Add to this the lack of communication and the horrible, HORRIBLE(!) DRM that are UBI's sole responsability and well, you get the picture.
This has been an experience I won't easily forget. And I feel especially sorry for the future of one of my most beloved series of all time.
Ultimately, what Ubi says goes and they are to take full responsibility for letting this garbage not once, but twice get out the door. And one would think they'd be more careful after H5's release. Never in my wildest dreams would I think that they'd allow H6 to be even worse. There were never this many bugs in H5 as there are in H6 and now there is no hopeful outlook for it being fixed properly now that you've all but confirmed BH is done.
Oh, and I don't want to hear, "well the fans can mod it." No, it's the developer's responsibility to fix things, add things, and make it right. Not the fans.
Again, like I said to Xenophex, I'm not saying Ubi is blameless. Quite the contrary. I'm only pointing out that putting all the blame on them is also misdirected. As for the QA, I can't answer that. We're not involved on that end of things. To be honest, we weren't nearly as involved as we were in H5 IMO. The communication issue has always been there. It was there with Nival as well. I don't know if it's Ubi who's putting the muzzle on them or if it's simply the fact that they're spending the majority of the time working on the game instead of conversing with the fanbase. Who knows.
I just find it odd that people are so surprised by the way things went. I guess people were expecting things to run more smoothly than they did with H5. I certainly wasn't. We had new team leaders from Ubi on the project, we had new developers on the project, they weren't just modifying the previous game (like h1 to h2) but rather starting from scratch yet again...this had repeat offenses written all over it from day 1 IMO. Now that they're using another developer again to do the patching just tells me we're going to go through the wringer yet again. This has nothing to do with the skill or quality of the team working on the game. It has to do with their amount of experience on this particular game. Anytime you're tackling heroes for the first time, it's going to be difficult. IMO the worst mistake that Ubisoft made with H6 was going away from Nival.
And yes, there WERE this many bugs in h5. Heck, there were MORE. I think people are remembering things more fondly because of how things finally turned out after the expansions. But h5 was a mess for a LONG time.
As for BH...I've never gotten a complete answer on them. It sounds as though they're almost going under. I'm not sure. But right now, a different team has taken over (limbick). Whether that's permanent or not, time will tell.
As for h6...they're fully committed to fixing everything from what I've heard. They've got a very comprehensive patching plan in place to fix everything and add new things. As usual, with a game this big and complex, the time schedule is never going to be accurate. But they are working on things to fix the game. They're not happy with the current state, they know the fans aren't happy with the current state and they certainly don't plan on leaving things as they currently are.

ballstothewall will sick the Metul Mulitia on you
Album Rating: 4.5haha, this kicks my review's ass! i love the opening paragraph. i think you got the singers the right way round for the most part, although i'm almost sure it's Chris that sings "tell 'em all to go to hell" on Conviction Notice.
Album Rating: 3.0so like yeah, when i started writing my review, it had no others on there. then my bathroom floor collapsed. i come back and find a grimbo review and a spat review. *disappointed frown*
great review, though.
I love Does the Lion City Still Roar? and the rest of the album seems like it's pretty good, but I'll have to give it a few more listens.
i love these guys so i will be checking this out.
Album Rating: 3.5Dave rating this hire than I has made my world collapse.
Pretty good album, but LTJ will never be better than a 3.5 band for me.
Album Rating: 4.5Also I would recommend any Americans try and find a copy of the UK bonus track, on account of it being amazing.
Album Rating: 4.0I think it's stupid that they put out a bonus track for the UK on an album about a US city...
hello rockview is their best overall cd. How does this compare to that?
FL is alright
I still need to check this out.
Nice review.
Album Rating: 4.0The albums got some good songs, but it's not as catchy as their previous work.
does the lion city still roar IS SO FUCKING CATCHY
Album Rating: 3.5I saw this on Amazon Mp3 for $5 back when I had money but I didn't get it.
to be completely honest, the only song i can actually listen to is the one mentioned above. it's like fucking crack. i haven't even gotten around to the rest yet.
Album Rating: 3.5What about The State of Florida?

Two dozen legislators aren't signed up for a pension
Wednesday, Jan 23, 2013
* This trend is obviously not a positive one for public employee unions…
One of the things that the unions rely on is legislators voting to protect their own pensions and benefits. But the more opt-outs we get, the fewer legislators who will care.
* Even so, some legislators who've opted out are still eligible for other pensions. For instance…
People have been predicting a Luechtefeld retirement for years. We may now know at least one reason why he's decided to stick around. Luechtefeld is 72.
* For some members, no pensions might mean even less turnover if they simply can't retire. Simple "solutions" never produce simple results.

MUSIC students from South Tyneside College have followed The Beatles with their own tour of the famous Cavern Club in Liverpool.
They gigged at the venue made legendary by the Fab Four and from where Beatlemania was first sparked in the early 1960s.
To mark the special occasion, they performed Helter Skelter, a track from the band's 1968 White Album.
The show was one of four played during a week-long mini-tour as a requirement of their two-year foundation music degree.
In all, 18 students in four groups also wowed crowds at Liverpool's historic Adelphi Hotel as well as music pub The Brierfield, in Bolton, before rounding the tour off with a performance at the Customs House, South Shields.
Music lecturer Brian Morton said: "The Cavern is a fantastic venue to play, and is something they will always remember.
"It's where it all started for British rock as before then everyone was listening to mostly American acts like Elvis Presley.
"Essentially, The Beatles started it and, of course, they remain very popular.
"The students are well aware of the group and the legendary Cavern Club, and what it means to play there. It's great that they get to add that to their CV. The mini-tour gave them experience of what life is like on the road when they get to be working musicians.
"A lot of the students have experience of playing locally but being away is a different matter – it tests their versatility."
The Applied Music Practice course musicians, aged 19 to 25, had rehearsed in advance, and were supported by three coachloads of students who travelled to the Cavern to support them.
The students, based at the college's Westoe campus in South Shields, visit the Cavern once during their course and also tour Scotland.
As part of their course, each must also record an album of original songs.
The higher education Foundation Degree in Applied Music Practice is validated by the University of Sunderland, and is suitable for musicians joining direct from college or sixth-form or who are mature students with substantial music industry experience.
For school-leavers, the college also runs a range of full-time music courses, including venue/tour performance, studio production and the new 'roadies' course, sound crew and studio tech.

Sebastian Vettel made his one lap count as the Formula One championship leader went quickest in a Red Bull 1-2 in practice ahead of Saturday's qualifying for the Spanish Grand Prix.
Vettel sat in the garage until the close of the session, when his flying lap around the Catalunya Circuit timed 1 minute, 21.707 seconds to edge teammate Mark Webber by 0.084 seconds.
Vettel is a favorite to secure a fifth straight pole position as no other car was under 1:23 except the Red Bulls.
Michael Schumacher of Mercedes was third by a distant 1.350 seconds ahead of the McLaren pair Lewis Hamilton and Jenson Button, who was 1.5 seconds behind.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was 2.563 seconds behind in ninth.
Vettel blew away the field with a last-gasp flyer that makes the German driver a favorite to consolidate his leading status with a fourth win in five races after Webber had dominated nearly four hours of practice started from Friday.
Webber was in command as he surpassed Schumacher's time and looked set to go into Sunday's 66-lap race in the best position to repeat a win that kickstarted his championship campaign last season.
But Vettel quickly put himself atop of the timesheet on a hot, dry day in Barcelona.
Both McLaren drivers said Friday that Red Bull were favorites going into qualifying, and Saturday's final practice did little to sway that deduction as the Austrians look to start on the front row for the 20th time in 24 races.
Ferrari's charge fell off as it was forced to remove a new rear wing that FIA deemed "could be declared illegal," according to the Italian team. Felipe Massa was further back from Alonso in 11th.
Nick Heidfeld was forced to abandon nearly halfway through the 60-minute session as his Renault suddenly burst into flames on the track from an exhaust failure.
"Fire," the German driver said coolly over the team radio as he pulled onto the track shoulder and quickly jumped out as flames and smoke engulfed his car.
Renault will be counting on teammate Vitaly Petrov to lead the French team in qualifying as it tries to repair the hole in Heidfeld's car with no extra vehicle available.

I got this with my Black Friday shipment, and I finally had time to try it out today.
I opened the smaple bag, and I could already tell that it was going to be good. IT had a very satisfying roasted smell, reminding me a bit of vanilla which, while a bit weird, is actually lovely. The flavor of the tea wsa just perfect: It is an amazing example of a Wuyi yancha. The delightful sweet-yet-roasted vanilla of the aroma is also a major part of the flavor, with a nice smooth mouthfeel that transitions into the characteristic yancha mineal aftertaste. It's a bit early to be talking about the subtler flavors, since they are fairly indistinct, but this tea has a lot of promise for development. Oh yeah, I steepd this for 15 seconds.
The second cup was steeped for about 10 seconds, but was actually less interesting than I expected. I thoguht that the flavors would develop a bit faster, but this was pretty much the same as the first cup, except it was smoother. Actually, smoother isn;t the right word, it's more like it's a more refined taste, but the point is that it hasn't developed as much as I expected. The tea still is very complex, so I'm not too disappointed, and I can't wait to see what comes next.
Third cup, 15 seconds. This is it, the legendary third cup, the one that is usually the best. It lives up to the hype. The flavor has made a small yet importnat transition from smooth to creamy, yet still makes the transition into mineral-smooth for the aftertaste. The vanilla is tempered by the beginings of spice, and something sweet as well. Right now, this tea has acheived perfect balance. Of course, I'm not realy sure where the flavor will go next, since this is just so much different than my other Shui Xian, which leaves me very excited to see what comes next.

Mosaid exits semi IP business
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. Following a management shakeup, Mosaid Technologies Inc. has decided to divest the assets of its semiconductor intellectual property product business.
Mosaid also announced the sale of its Ottawa-based head office campus, consisting of a 77,000-square-foot office building and 11.3 acres of land, for $14.0 million.

"Our immediate goal is to complete the current restructuring plan by divesting our Semi IP product business and our real estate. This will enable us to further concentrate our resources on the patent licensing and innovation strategy that will fuel the next stage of Mosaid's growth,'' he said.
