On Tuesday October 2, 1962, the Los Angeles Dodgers played a must-win game against the San Francisco Giants, who led them by one game to none in a best of three games playoff for the National League pennant. Dodgers manager Walter Alston turned to his ace, 25-game winner Don Drysdale. Although Double D would have to pitch on only two days of rest, he seemed a better option than rookie Pete Richert and Stan Williams, a 14-game winner who had faltered in September.
Giants manager Alvin Dark also called upon his ace, 24-game winner Jack Sanford. Because of a rainout on the previous Friday, when he was scheduled to pitch, Sanford's most recent start had been pushed to Saturday. This meant that, like Drysdale, Sanford would be working on only two days of rest. But Dark's other available starters, veteran Mike McCormick and young Gaylord Perry, both sported ERAs in excess of 5.00. So Dark, though less desperate than Alston, opted for quality over rest.
Predictably, Drysdale and Sanford both started strong. After five innings, the Giants led 1-0. Drysdale had allowed 4 hits; Sanford only 1.
But in the top of the sixth inning, the Giants scored 4 runs to take a 5-0 lead. The key plays were an error by Drysdale (only 2 of the 4 runs were earned), and RBI singles by Chuck Hiller, Jim Davenport (at the expense of Drysdale), and Willie McCovey (off reliever Ed Roebuck).
When the Dodgers batted in the bottom of the sixth, they hadn't scored in 35 innings. And in the previous 23 innings, they had totaled only 9 hits.
Jim Gilliam led off the inning with a walk. At that point, Dark removed Sanford even though he had allowed only one hit and three walks. "Sanford was suffering from a cold and he was pooped," Dark later explained.
With Stu Miller on in relief, the Dodgers finally broke out of their slump. Duke Snider doubled and Tommy Davis drove in Gilliam with a fly ball. Then, Wally Moon walked and Frank Howard knocked in Snider with a base hit.
Dark brought in lefty Billy O'Dell, who had started and pitched 7 innings on Sunday, to face left-handed hitting Johnny Roseboro. Alston countered with right-handed hitting Doug Camili, who was enjoying his only good year at the plate. Camili singled to load the bases.
Alston then called on another right-handed pinch hitter, ex-Yankee Andy Carey, to bat for Willie Davis. O'Dell hit Carey with a pitch, reducing the Giants lead to 5-3, with the bases still loaded.
Next, Alston used his third right-handed pinch hitter in a row, Lee Walls, to bat for reliever Ed Roebuck. The journeyman outfielder, an outstanding clutch hitter in 1962, delivered a base-clearing double. Suddenly, the Dodgers led 6-5. Walls took third on the throw home. There was still only one out.
Dark lifted O'Dell who had failed to retire anyone. On came Don Larsen who, of course, had pitched a perfect game against the Dodgers in the 1956 World Series.
Larsen had to face the speedy Maury Wills. With the infield in, Wills chopped the ball to first baseman Orlando Cepeda who threw home. Walls slide in hard, spikes up, and catcher Tom Haller dropped the ball. Haller was charged with an error, and the Dodgers led 7-5.
Haller had to leave the game, and Wills promptly stole second against replacement catcher John Orsino. When Orsino's throw skipped past second base, Wills attempted to take third. But Willie Mays was backing up and he threw Wills out. Larsen then retired Gilliam, to end the Dodgers 7 run inning.
The Giants threatened but failed to score in the top of the seventh against reliever Ron Perranoski. In the top of the eighth they quickly threatened again. Davenport and Mays led off the inning with singles. Ed Bailey batted for Larsen, who had been slotted into the clean-up position (in place of McCovey) on a double switch. Alston brought in little used rookie Jack Smith to face him.
Bailey singled to drive home Davenport. But on an enormous play, Tommy Davis threw out Willie Mays (famous for his first-to-third dashes) at third base. The play was so close that umpire legendary Jocko Conlan seemed at first to want to signal safe. So now, two of the best base runners in baseball history (Mays and Wills) had been thrown out at third base – Mays with no one and Wills, more forgivably, with one out. And instead of having runners on first and third with no outs, the Giants had only a runner on first, with one out.
But the Giants were back in business when Frank Howard misplayed Cepeda's fly ball for an error. Now the tying run was on third.
Alston had ridden his luck with Smith as far as he cared to. With Felipe Alou at the plate, he called for Stan Williams.
The big right-hander walked Alou, not a terrible thing with Orsino up next. But the young catcher came through with a sacrifice fly to tie the game at 7-7.
It was still 7-7 going into the bottom of the ninth. Bobby Bolin was on the mound for the Giants, their fifth pitcher of the day. Bolin began the inning in just the wrong way, by walking Maury Wills, who recently had set the major league record for stolen bases in a season.
With Gilliam up, Dark pulled the right-handed Bolin in favor of southpaw Dick LeMay. Gilliam was a switch hitter who hit lefties and righties equally well. Dark probably wanted the left-hander to hold Wills closer to first. But LeMay had pitched only 9 and a third innings in the majors during which he allowed 8 earned runs.
Wills didn't steal second, but he got there anyway when LeMay walked Gilliam.
With Duke Snider up next, Alston called on yet another right-handed pinch hitter, Spencer. Surely, Spencer was going to bunt, but Dark had seen enough of LeMay, in any case. He replaced the young lefty with a young righty, future Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry.
Spencer successfully bunted Wills to third and Gilliam to second. Some thought the Giants had a play on Wills at third, but Perry took the safe route.
That was it for Perry's contribution. Dark put the game in the hands of veteran left-hander Mike McCormick, who had suffered through a terrible year, mostly as a starter, but probably should have come on instead of LeMay earlier in the inning.
Dark had McCormick walk the dangerous Tommy Davis to set up the double play with left-handed hitting Ron Fairly at the plate. Fairly lined a fly ball to Mays in center field, and Wills dashed home with the winning run.
The Dodgers had broken their five game losing streak with an epic win, in what was then the longest 9 inning game in baseball history (4 hours and 18 minutes). Walter Alston used 19 players, 5 of them pitchers. Alvin, who arguably over-managed the affair, used 23 players including 8 pitchers.
The two pitching-depleted teams would play one game (a classic, as it turned out) for the pennant the next day.

UC Davis partnership with The Effort provides care for Oak Park children
Posted June 16, 2010
Children in Sacramento gained a new resource for pediatric care in December, when UC Davis Children's Hospital began partnering with the non profit social services agency The Effort to provide health-care services for children and youth at its Oak Park center.
The pediatric clinic is staffed by two UC Davis pediatricians, Richard Pan, an associate professor of pediatrics, and assistant professor of pediatrics Erik Fernandez y Garcia, who deliver care two half days a week. But Pan said that the program is slated to expand and to have resident pediatricians seeing patients, as well.
"I think it's very important that we provide access to care to children who may be disadvantaged or uninsured," Pan said. "We're excited to be able to integrate UC Davis Children's Hospital's medical care services with the mental health services and dental services available through The Effort in Oak Park. This partnership also offers a wonderful opportunity for resident physicians to understand the challenges that people who are uninsured or in safety-net programs like Medicaid experience in gaining access to health care."
The Effort is a non profit, community-based agency that provides services to children and adults at several locations throughout Sacramento, including downtown at 18th and J streets, in Del Paso Heights, Oak Park and South Sacramento. The Effort provides a range of services, including substance abuse and detox services, mental health services and medical care. The organization also provides services at the Salvation Army and the Sacramento County Boy's Ranch.
Diane Oran, the clinic manager at The Effort's Oak Park Community Health Center, said that about a quarter of the center's 1,000 clients are children or youth.
"I think it's very exciting that the patients in the Oak Park area have the opportunity be seen by the UC Davis doctors and residents," Oran said. "Their expertise in cutting-edge practices really will benefit our patients."
The Effort does not turn anyone away because of a lack of ability to pay or health insurance, Oran said. The clinic is located at 3415 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Potential patients may call 916-233-4910 to make an appointment.
UC Davis Children's Hospital is the Sacramento region's only comprehensive hospital for children. From primary care offices to specialty and intensive care clinics, pediatric experts provide compassionate care to more than 100,000 children each year and conduct research on causes and improved treatments for conditions such as autism, asthma, obesity, cancer and birth defects.

SSU Professor to Teach Global Comparative Lens Course for Semester at Sea' s 2014 Summer Voyage
Rocky Rohwedder, Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies and Planning, has once again been hired by Semester at Sea to serve as a professor on an academic voyage. This summer, at sea and all over the EU, he will be teaching a Global Lens class on Sustainable Communities.
One distinctive feature of Semester at Sea is the opportunity it affords students to engage in global comparative education.On each voyage, Semester at Sea offers a set of Global Lens courses that are designed to help students deepen their understanding of specific features of life and culture in the countries we visit on a given itinerary.
Each course views the countries through a distinct lens—focusing on the art, music, religion, politics, environment, health, or other specific key topics. These courses are designed to take maximum advantage of the opportunity to learn to think critically about their own societies and well as others.
This will be Rohwedder's seventh voyage with Semester at Sea, allowing him to teach and conduct research in over 40 countries all around the world. Check out Rocky's previous voyages on his website http://www.sonoma.edu/users/r/rohwedde/ .

Geography Professor Matthew Clark to conduct research in Argentina
Professor Matthew (Mateo) Clark, recently received a grant from the Fulbright Specialist Program to collaborate with researchers at the Regional Ecology Institute (Instituto de Ecología Regional)Tucumán,for five weeks in Summer 2013.
While Professor Clark is inTucumán, the team will investigate two land-cover change topics that will culminate in peer-reviewed scientific papers: 1) what is the current area and past change of forests in protected and unprotected areas of across all of Latin America, and 2) how does projected climate change affect agricultural expansion, deforestation rates and ecosystem services in the Chaco dry forests of Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay. base data for these analyses, they will use high-resolution (30-m pixels) land-cover maps of Latin America derived from >8,000 Landsat satellite images. Mateo produced these maps during his Fall 2012 sabbatical by feeding roughly 10 terabytes of data through 20 computer processors in the Center for Interdisciplinary Geospatial Analysis (CIGA) -- a process that took roughly four months!
Professor Clark's last research grant in NSF'sof Coupled Natural and Human Systems program, addressed what happened to the forests of Latin America and the Caribbean between 2001 and 2010. The Latin America and Caribbean (LAC) region has the earth's greatest amount of biodiversity, a large share of its aboveground carbon stock, and extensive protected areas. But the region is also a major food producer for a growing, and more affluent, regional and global population. Documenting the patterns and socio-economic drivers of LAC deforestation has been an important scientific priority for more than 30 years, especially in its tropical forests which contain a disproportionate amount of the region's species and carbon. However, there has been considerably less attention dedicated to tracking the recovery of forests, woodlands and scrublands in the region. To address this, Dr. Mitchell Aide, a professor at the University of Puerto Rico with Dr. Matthew Clark, devised a collaborative, five-year Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems (CNH) to address this challenge.
Social Sciences Faculty in the News - Press Democrat Article Features Anthropology Professor Karin Jaffe
Recently, Professor Karin Enstam Jaffe and the Sonoma State University Primate Ethology Research Lab was the subject of an extensive profile in the local newspaper. Called "Karin Jaffe's window into primates' world," the article was published in The Press Democrat on Friday, May 17 2013.
The article focuses on Professor Jaffe's groundbreaking collaborative work at the Sonoma State University Primate Ethology Research (SSUPER) Lab. Projects through the SSUPER lab connect Sonoma State University students with local zoos to conduct collaborative research. In the article, Professor Jaffe says, "I think it is a valuable opportunity for students to work with zoos. Zookeepers already have a full time job, and it can be difficult for them to spend the necessary time to observe and collect data to answer some questions."
The SSUPER Lab has been open since 2007 and focuses on ethological (i.e., behavioral) research of human and non-human primates and strives to involve Sonoma State graduate and undergraduate students in a variety of primate behavior (i.e., ethology) research projects. According to Jaffe, SSUPER gives graduate and undergraduate students "a lower cost research experience without having to travel in the field like to South America, which has a very high cost."
SSUPER Research Assistants engage in a variety of activities including collecting data as part of their own, independent research or Applied Primatology project, others help with data collection and entry for master's projects, and others collect data for larger projects being conducted by Dr. Jaffe. Students can get 1-3 units worth of credit for participating. SSUPER Research Assistants must commit to a minimum of 1 semester (or 15 weeks in the summer), but are strongly encouraged to consider participating for longer than 1 semester.
Currently SSUPER is engaged in several projects including one on aggression, affiliation and enclosure use in an all-male group of squirrel monkeys at the San Francisco Zoo; The Primate Faces Project which uses SSU students to examine the individuality and ease of recognition of non-human primate faces; and observations of male-male aggression of patas monkeys at Safari West.

Matthew Clark
Associate Professor, Geography and Global Studies, Director of CIGA
Dr. Clark has been awarded a three-year, $604,000 NASA grant within the Earth Science department's HyspIRI Preparatory Airborne Activities and Associated Science program.
The Hyperspectral Infrared Imager (HyspIRI) is a satellite currently being considered by NASA to improve our ability to map and monitor the Earth's ecosystems and and provide timely information on natural disasters. In contrast to existing Earth-observation satellites, which typically provide images using energy from a few regions of the spectrum (e.g., visible light), HypIRI will be a "hyperspectral" sensor that provides images using energy from hundreds of spectral slices. These images extend beyond what human eyes can sense to include shortwave to thermal energy. This technology should allow more detailed and accurate mapping of the Earth's surface through time, however there is a need to demonstrate this capability in support of the HyspIRI mission. To do this, Dr. Clark and other researchers in the preparatory science program will use images from NASA's airborne hyperspectral sensor (AVIRIS) acquired from a jet to simulate images that would be acquired from HyspIRI. A NASA team, based in the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, will fly the jet in three transects in California, multiple times per year. Dr. Clark research will focus on mapping California's natural ecosystems from the imagery, and this series of images within a year will provide valuable information on plant seasonality, such as the changing of leaf color, that can help discern different vegetation types. He hopes to show that HyspIRI will allow more detailed mapping of California's diverse flora relative to what is possible with conventional satellites. In support of his research, Dr. Clark will hire students to help with the collection of ground data and with image processing and analysis in his research lab, the Center for Interdisciplinary Geospatial Analysis (CIGA).
Dr. Clark is an associate professor in the Geography and Global Studies Department and director of CIGA. He focuses on teaching the department's geospatial technology courses, including geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. Dr. Clark has a strong research interest in applying this technology to applications in terrestrial ecology, conservation science, and land-use change. His recent research activities have focused on regional- to continental-scale mapping and analysis of land change in Latin America and the Caribbean as part of a five-year collaborative National Science Foundation grant. In support of this project, Dr. Clark developed a mapping methodology that allows the estimation of land change at municipality scales over the last decade. To date, Dr. Clark and his project team have published thirteen papers that use these land-cover maps to investigate the underlying drivers of change, such as economic globalization, human migration and interactions with climate and landform.
Caroline Christian
Associate Professor, Environmental Studies and Planning
In June, Dr. Caroline Christian and the Department of Environmental Studies and Planning (ENSP) at Sonoma State University (SSU) was awarded an anonymous donation of $75,000 to launch a research project to support Sonoma County's State Parks as they transition to new management by local non-profit and governmental organizations. Up to 70 State Parks were slated for closure in 2011, including five in Sonoma County. The parks have been threatened with closure by the State of California due to the current budget crisis.
With passage of legislation (AB42) drafted by Assemblyman Jared Huffman, the five Sonoma County parks on the closure list were allowed to stay open and be operated by local non-profits and agencies. In Sonoma County, a coalition of 16 organizations, known as the Parks Alliance of Sonoma County, stepped forward in a grassroots effort to keep five parks accessible by the public, at least temporarily. The five Sonoma parks amount to approximately 15,000 acres and thousands of people visit them every year from all over the world.
Christian and her research team will look for "best practices" for local parks management and have until February to complete a report that they hope will lead to novel ways to run the parks over the long-term. The team will produce a set of "lessons learned" based on peer-reviewed literature on the privatization of public parks, and multi-stakeholder management of protected areas and historical sites.
"Although the disaster of park closure was averted, at least for now,"says Dr. Christian, "long-term solutions are required to keep parks open and accessible to the public."
"The last thing we want to see is parks shut down, especially ones that are at the core of our community's identity and economic and environmental well-being."
Besides Christian, the team includes Dr. Claudia Luke (Director, SSU Field Stations and Nature Preserves), Sara Moore (Project Coordinator), and environmental studies student assistants Noelle Fletcher, Niki Shmatovich, Megan Foster, and Christine Kuehn.
Christian says as management responsibility is passed down from the state to different local organizations, greater community involvement will be needed.
The major work includes a survey of the new park managers - finding what barriers and challenges they face and what models can be developed to manage them effectively. A workshop will be held in October for key park managers and local government representatives to review SSU's findings and discuss a strategic plan for funding and operating parks using a more diversified approach.
The parks and the local organizations currently responsible for their operation are: Annadel State Park (Sonoma County Regional Parks), Austin Creek State Recreation Area (Stewards of the Coast and Redwoods), Jack London State Historic Park (Valley of the Moon Natural History Association), Petaluma Adobe State Historic Park (Sonoma Petaluma State Historic Park Association),
Sugarloaf Ridge State Park (Sonoma Ecology Center [lead] with Valley of the Moon Observatory Association; United Camps, Conferences, and Retreats; Valley of the Moon Natural History Association; and Sonoma County Trails Council).
Dr. Christian is a conservation scientist and an associate professor in the Department of Environmental Studies and Planning at Sonoma State University. Her research focuses on key issues in conservation and restoration science, and the use of applied systems to test fundamental ideas in ecology. Much of her current research evaluates the effectiveness of different techniques used for managing exotic vegetation in grassland and streamside plant communities. As a former scientist with The Nature Conservancy, she brings extensive practical experience in land conservation and management. She works closely with local non-profit organizations to implement science-based conservation planning and land management.

PALMDALE, Calif. (AP) — A California woman who didn't know she had a jackpot-winning $23 million lottery ticket in her car has come forward to claim her fortune.
The Palmdale woman's daughter recognized her from a newspaper photo of the supposed winner, captured on the liquor store's surveillance camera, according to the San Bernardino County Sun (http://bit.ly/Wdq0c2).
More details about the woman's identity were to be announced Friday, lottery officials said.
"She just never checked the ticket," lottery spokesman Alex Traverso told the newspaper. "Her daughter took a picture of her photo in the newspaper and sent it to her mother, she went to her car and found the ticket."
The woman bought the ticket in May, and with 180 days to claim the prize, she only had until Nov. 26 to cash in.
If it hadn't been claimed, the millions would have gone to California schools.
A $52 million jackpot winner in Fremont was found in August by a similar public appeal.
"He and his wife saw a picture of him on the news that night and came in the next day to claim the prize," Traverso said.
The winning ticket was sold at Michael's Market and Liquor, where store manager Ben Sadi says the sale has been a stroke of good luck for the store's owners. The store received a bonus of one half percent of the prize, or $115,000, for selling the winning ticket.
"We sold the ticket the third week after our official day of opening the store," said Sadi.
Since news of the winning ticket got out, business has picked up a lot.
"There are a lot of people that drove a long way to come buy tickets here," said Sadi.
In the last fiscal year, officials say more than $20.5 million in cash prizes went unclaimed.

My question revolves something I learned my 1st year as an electrician. Electricity always follows the path of least resistance. Using this as a voltage divider, what would prevent voltage drop at the 6v if you hook up a larger circuit with a fair bit of resistance? Why wouldn't more current just take the shortcut through the second 10k resistor to ground, since that would be "easier" than going through your project?
somebody was talking about driving an arduino in a car, and some suggested they use a divider to power it.
I learned my 1st year as an electrician. Electricity always follows the path of least resistance
So, the best way to run an Arduino is via a three-terminal regulator of some sort
A car's charging system can go up to 14.8V or so when the battery's fully charged, and the voltage will drop below 12V when the engine's not running and the battery's low.

Luis Suarez: "Fear SAS"
Liverpool striker Luis Suarez says there is much more to come from his 'SAS' partnership with Daniel Sturridge.
The strike duo have combined superbly since Suarez returned from his ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic.
The partnership has been dubbed the new 'SAS' - with Blackburn's Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton the original one.
Suarez had a renowned partnership with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar when he was Ajax, but he believes his double-act with Sturridge could be even better.
"Three or four years or more ago, when I played with Klaas-Jan Huntelaar at Ajax, he had a very good partnership with me," Suarez told the club's website.
"Now, with Daniel we are trying our best and we can improve. Maybe in a few years I will be able to say my best partnership was with Daniel Sturridge, especially if we can continue to progress.
"With Daniel we are trying our best and we can improve. Maybe in a few years I will be able to say my best partnership was with Daniel Sturridge, especially if we can continue to progress."
Luis Suarez
"I am so happy because when you have a very good striker, and a very good partner, for defenders it is difficult because they have to give their attention to two players - not just one.
"If maybe two defenders come towards me, this creates space for Danny. This is important not just for me, but for the team and our confidence.
"He is a very good player. He had difficult moments at Chelsea and City, but this is a good time for him and I am so happy with him.
"We are trying for progression. He is 24 and I am 26, so we are trying our best to progress for the future of the club.
"We know in the last few seasons, Liverpool have not been in the Champions League and we know we can help the team challenge for the top four. We will try our best (to improve), but Liverpool is not only Suarez and Sturridge - it's the whole team.
"Whether Danny scores, I score, or Stevie (Gerrard) or another player scores, I am so happy and so are the team.
"When you have one man in the area, it's more important. I am not a real No 9 in the area, but Daniel is more so and that's important for me and the team."

I suppose I have mostly myself to blame for the feeling of apathy I hold towards Blackest Night #8, I read the spoilers for this issue a week before I read it, and already had time for the ensuing events to percolate in my brain and for me to form an opinion, without even reading the comic. But surely a comic lies in the telling? If all I'm interested in is spoilers, why don't I join the Wikipedia Review Group? The events of Blackest Night may have pissed me off in their blunt, factual form, but has Geoff Johns found a way to convey them which makes it work?
The answer is no. I've often found Johns to be a rather clunky and unsubtle writer. His dialogue is leaden at times, and his reliance on splash-pages and cool catchphrases annoys me. He's like Mark Millar without the sense of humour and original ideas. Blackest Night #8 is probably one of the lesser Johns issue's I've read. It just seems kind of... perfunctory, Nekron is despatched rather easily, and then a bunch of seemingly (I say seemingly, more later) random characters are resurrected, and Hal and Barry are back where they started, staring at Bruce Wayne's graves like lusty Necrophiliacs.
The thing that annoyed me most about this issue was probably how Nekron was dealt with, it just seemed so unspeakably lame and unlikely. I know this is a DCU crossover, and you have to suspend your disbelief a lot more than some other companies' events (Secret Invasion's main threat was ended by a gunshot to the head, that I can buy, even if it's a laser gun and the victim was a big green alien) but here... I just came out of nowhere. I never bought Nekron as a proper threat anyway, and his demise underlines that, all the JLA had to was dress up as the Ku Klux Klan and he'd go bye-bye? Lame. And what was the point of the Anti-Monitor in this story? Wasteful.
And then there's the resurrections. A selection of classic DCU characters (and Osiris) have been brought back to life. Only some, not all. Why only these guys? Obviously most of them are there to set up a new series spinning out of this event, but at this stage it seems kind of arbitrary that these characters and these only are back. It pulls you out of the story, you're acutely aware of a writer's hands being behind this, you know Johns picked these, and right now, it seems like he just chose his favourites, and that sticks in my craw. By all means use your favourite characters (or versions of characters), but don't be so blatant about it. The silver-age nostalgia here is also worrying, does Johns love the past so much he's willing to kill his own characters and replace them with long-dead ones? (See Kendra/Shiera). DC of course are saying that it's not random, that this was all part of a plan, and these characters and not, say Ted Kord, are back for a reason, and maybe they are, we'll see, but for now... not good. I will say that some of the possibilities are interesting, I like seeing the classic Aquaman back, the relationship between Jason Rusch and Ronnie Raymond is ripe for good stories, and Deadman being alive fascinates me.
Overall, this is an OK ending to an OK event, it has it's problems, Johns' own short-comings, and the seeming randomnness of the resurrections, but I am interested in several future stories spinning out of this, so I suppose this issue has done it's job. At least this issue actually featured all the Green Lanterns, which is only appropriate for a Green Lantern event, too often in this book, they were absent.
Oh, and I'm deducting a point for Larfleeze, he's eye-rolling at the best of times, but he was particularly odious here. Ugh.
Art - At least Ivan Reis is on top form, this mini-series has shown he's capable of handling pretty much anything thrown at him, the 2 page spreads in here are wonderful, and without him, this book would really be terrible. He reminds me of Neal Adams in his clean, classic style. I can't wait to see what he's up to next, I'd like to see him on Superman.
Best Line - Um... Johns' dialogue is pretty bad, I suppose it's 'LIVE', sums up the book.
5/10 It would be 6, but as I said, Larfleeze.

The Sacred Wood.
a writer for whom I have considerable respect, has placed in his most recent statement upon poetry a paragraph which seems to me of very doubtful validity. I have not seen the complete essay, and know the quotation only as it appears in a critical notice in the
July 23, 1920:
La philosophie, et même la morale tendirent à fuir les uvres pour se placer dans les réflexions qui les précèdent. Parler aujourdhui de poésie philosophique (fût-ce en invoquant Alfred de Vigny, Leconte de Lisle, et quelques autres), cest naivement confondre des conditions et des applications de lesprit incompatibles entre elles. Nest-ce pas oublier que le but de celui qui spécule est de fixer ou de créer une notioncest-à-dire un
et un
instrument de pouvoir,
cependant que le poète moderne essaie de produire en nous un
et de porter cet état exceptionnel au point dune jouissance parfaite.
It may be that I do M. Valéry an injustice which I must endeavour to repair when I have the pleasure of reading his article entire. But the paragraph gives the impression of more than one error of analysis. In the first place, it suggests that conditions have changed, that philosophical poetry may once have been permissible, but that (perhaps owing to the greater specialization of the modern world) it is now intolerable. We are forced to assume that what we do not like in our time was never good art, and that what appears to us good was always so. If any ancient philosophical poetry retains its value, a value which we fail to find in modern poetry of the same type, we investigate on the assumption that we shall find some difference to which the mere difference of date is irrelevant. But if it be maintained that the older poetry has a philosophic element and a poetic element which can be isolated, we have two tasks to perform. We must show first in a particular caseour case is Dantethat the philosophy is essential to the structure and that the structure is essential to the poetic beauty of the parts; and we must show that the philosophy is employed in a different form from that which it takes in admittedly unsuccessful philosophical poems. And if M. Valéry is in error in his complete exorcism of philosophy, perhaps the basis of the error is his apparently commendatory interpretation of the effort of the modern poet, namely, that the latter endeavours to produce in us a
The early philosophical poets, Parmenides and Empedocles, were apparently persons of an impure philosophical inspiration. Neither their predecessors nor their successors expressed themselves in verse; Parmenides and Empedocles were persons who mingled with genuine philosophical ability a good deal of the emotion of the founder of a second-rate religious system. They were not interested exclusively in philosophy, or religion, or poetry, but in something which was a mixture of all three; hence their reputation as poets is low and as philosophers should be considerably below Heraclitus, Zeno, Anaxagoras, or Democritus. The poem of Lucretius is quite a different matter. For Lucretius was undoubtedly a poet. He endeavours to expound a philosophical system, but with a different motive from Parmenides or Empedocles, for this system is already in existence; he is really endeavouring to find the concrete poetic equivalent for this systemto find its complete equivalent in vision. Only, as he is an innovator in this art, he wavers between philosophical poetry and philosophy. So we find passages such as:
But the velocity of thunderbolts is great and their stroke powerful, and they run through their course with a rapid descent, because the force when aroused first in all cases collects itself in the clouds and Let us now sing what causes the motion of the stars. Of all these different smells then which strike the nostrils one may reach to a much greater distance than another.
But Lucretius true tendency is to express an ordered vision of the life of man, with great vigour of real poetic image and often acute observation.
quod petiere, premunt arte faciuntque dolorem
corporis et dentes inlidunt saepe labellis
osculaque adfligunt, quia non est pura voluptas
et stimuli subsunt qui instigant laedere id ipsum
quodcumque est, rabies unde illaec germina surgunt
medio de fonte leoprum
surgit amari aliquid quod in ipsis floribus angat
nec procumbere humi prostratum et pandere palmas
ante deum delubra nec aras sanguine multo
spargere quadrupedum nec votis nectere vota,
sed mage pacata posse omnia mente tueri.
The philosophy which Lucretius tackled was not rich enough in variety of feeling, applied itself to life too uniformly, to supply the material for a wholly successful poem. It was incapable of complete expansion into pure vision. But I must ask M. Valéry whether the aim of Lucretius poem was to fix or create a notion or to fashion an instrument of power.
Without doubt, the effort of the philosopher proper, the man who is trying to deal with ideas in themselves, and the effort of the poet, who may be trying to
ideas, cannot be carried on at the same time. But this is not to deny that poetry can be in some sense philosophic. The poet can deal with philosophic ideas, not as matter for argument, but as matter for inspection. The original form of a philosophy cannot be poetic. But poetry can be penetrated by a philosophic idea, it can deal with this idea when it has reached the point of immediate acceptance, when it has become almost a physical modification. If we divorced poetry and philosophy altogether, we should bring a serious impeachment, not only against Dante, but against most of Dantes contemporaries.
Dante had the benefit of a mythology and a theology which had undergone a more complete absorption into life than those of Lucretius. It is curious that not only Dantes detractors, like the Petrarch of Landors
(if we may apply so strong a word to so amiable a character), but some of his admirers, insist on the separation of Dantes poetry and Dantes teaching. Sometimes the philosophy is confused with the allegory. The philosophy is an ingredient, it is a part of Dantes world just as it is a part of life; the allegory is the scaffold on which the poem is built. An American writer of a little primer of Dante, Mr. Henry Dwight Sidgwick, who desires to improve our understanding of Dante as a spiritual leader, says:
To Dante this literal Hell was a secondary matter; so it is to us. He and we are concerned with the allegory. That allegory is simple. Hell is the absence of God. If the reader begins with the consciousness that he is reading about sin, spiritually understood, he never loses the thread, he is never at a loss, never slips back into the literal signification.
Without stopping to question Mr. Sidgwick on the difference between literal and spiritual sin, we may affirm that his remarks are misleading. Undoubtedly the allegory is to be taken seriously, and certainly the
is in some way a moral education. The question is to find a formula for the correspondence between the former and the latter, to decide whether the moral value corresponds directly to the allegory. We can easily ascertain what importance Dante assigned to allegorical method. In the
we are seriously informed that
the principal design [of the odes] is to lead men to knowledge and virtue, as will be seen in the progress of the truth of them;
and we are also given the familiar four interpretations of an ode: literal, allegorical, moral, and anagogical. And so distinguished a scholar as M. Hauvette repeats again and again the phrase didactique dintention. We accept the allegory. Accepted, there are two usual ways of dealing with it. One may, with Mr. Sidgwick, dwell upon its significance for the seeker of spiritual light, or one may, with Landor, deplore the spiritual mechanics and find the poet only in passages where he frees himself from his divine purposes. With neither of these points of view can we concur. Mr. Sidgwick magnifies the preacher and prophet, and presents Dante as a superior Isaiah or Carlyle; Landor reserves the poet, reprehends the scheme, and denounces the politics. Some of Landors errors are more palpable than Mr. Sidgwicks. He errs, in the first place, in judging Dante by the standards of classical epic. Whatever the
is, an epic it is not. M. Hauvette well says:
Rechercher dans quelle mesure le poème se rapproche du genre classique de lépopée, et dans quelle mesure il sen écarte, est un exércice de rhétorique entièrement inutile, puisque Dante, à nen pas douter, na jamais eu lintention de composer une action épique dans les règles.
But we must define the framework of Dantes poem from the result as well as from the intention. The poem has not only a framework, but a form; and even if the framework be allegorical, the form may be something else. The examination of any episode in the
ought to show that not merely the allegorical interpretation or the didactic intention, but the emotional significance itself, cannot be isolated from the rest of the poem. Landor appears, for instance, to have misunderstood such a passage as the Paolo and Francesca, by failing to perceive its relations:
In the midst of her punishment, Francesca, when she comes to the tenderest part of her story, tells it with complacency and delight.
This is surely a false simplification. To have lost all recollected delight would have been, for Francesca, either loss of humanity or relief from damnation. The ecstasy, with the present thrill at the remembrance of it, is a part of the torture. Francesca is neither stupefied nor reformed; she is merely damned; and it is a part of damnation to experience desires that we can no longer gratify. For in Dantes Hell souls are not deadened, as they mostly are in life; they are actually in the greatest torment of which each is capable.
E il modo ancor moffende.
It is curious that Mr. Sidgwick, whose approbation is at the opposite pole from Landors, should have fallen into a similar error. He says:
In meeting [Ulysses], as in meeting Pier della Vigna and Brunetto Latini, the preacher and the prophet are lost in the poet.
Here, again, is a false simplification. These passages have no digressive beauty. The case of Brunetto is parallel to that of Francesca. The emotion of the passage resides in Brunettos excellence in damnationso admirable a soul, and so perverse.
e parve de costoro
Quegli che vince e non colui che perde.
And I think that if Mr. Sidgwick had pondered the strange words of Ulysses,
com altrui piacque,
he would not have said that the preacher and prophet are lost in the poet. Preacher and prophet are odious terms; but what Mr. Sidgwick designates by them is something which is certainly not lost in the poet, but is part of the poet.
A variety of passages might illustrate the assertion that no emotion is contemplated by Dante purely in and for itself. The emotion of the person, or the emotion with which our attitude appropriately invests the person, is never lost or diminished, is always preserved entire, but is modified by the position assigned to the person in the eternal scheme, is coloured by the atmosphere of that persons residence in one of the three worlds. About none of Dantes character is there that ambiguity which affects Miltons Lucifer. The damned preserve any degree of beauty or grandeur that ever rightly pertained to them, and this intensifies and also justifies their damnation. As Jason
Guarda quel grande che viene!
E per dolor non par lagrima spanda,
Quanto aspetto reale ancor ritiene!
The crime of Bertrand becomes more lurid; the vindictive Adamo acquires greater ferocity, and the errors of Arnaut are corrected
Poi sascose nel foco che gli affina.
If the artistic emotion presented by any episode of the
is dependent upon the whole, we may proceed to inquire what the whole scheme is. The usefulness of allegory and astronomy is obvious. A mechanical framework, in a poem of so vast an ambit, was a necessity. As the centre of gravity of emotions is more remote from a single human action, or a system of purely human actions, than in drama or epic, so the framework has to be more artificial and apparently more mechanical. It is not essential that the allegory or the almost unintelligible astronomy should be understoodonly that its presence should be justified. The emotional structure within this scaffold is what must be understoodthe structure made possible by the scaffold. This structure is an ordered scale of human emotions. Not, necessarily,
human emotions; and in any case all the emotions are limited, and also extended in significance by their place in the scheme.
But Dantes is the most comprehensive, and the most
presentation of emotions that has ever been made. Dantes method of dealing with any emotion may be contrasted, not so appositely with that of other epic poets as with that of Shakespeare. Shakespeare takes a character apparently controlled by a simple emotion, and analyses the character and the emotion itself. The emotion is split up into constituentsand perhaps destroyed in the process. The mind of Shakespeare was one of the most
that has ever existed. Dante, on the other hand, does not analyse the emotion so much as he exhibits its relation to other emotions. You cannot, that is, understand the
without the
and the
Dante, says Landors Petrarch, is the great master of the disgusting. That is true, though Sophocles at least once approaches him. But a disgust like Dantes is no hypertrophy of a single reaction: it is completed and explained only by the last canto of the
La forma universal di questo nodo,
credo chio vidi, perchè più di largo
dicendo questo, mi sento chio godo.
The contemplation of the horrid or sordid or disgusting, by an artist, is the necessary and negative aspect of the impulse toward the pursuit of beauty. But not all succeed as did Dante in expressing the complete scale from negative to positive. The negative is the more importunate.
The structure of emotions, for which the allegory is the necessary scaffold, is complete from the most sensuous to the most intellectual and the most spiritual. Dante gives a concrete presentation of the most elusive:
Pareva a me che nube ne coprisse
lucida, spessa, solida e polita,
quasi adamante che lo sol ferisse.
Per entro sè leterna margarita
ne recepette, com acqua recepe
raggio di luce, permanendo unita.
Nel suo aspetto tal dentro mi fei,
qual si fe Glauco nel gustar dell erba,
che il fe consorto in mar degli altri dei.
Again, in the
for instance in Canto XVI and Canto XVIII, occur passages of pure exposition of philosophy, the philosophy of Aristotle strained through the schools.
Lo natural e sempre senza errore,
ma l altro puote errar per malo obbietto,
o per poco o per troppo di vigore
We are not here studying the philosophy, we
it, as part of the ordered world. The aim of the poet is to state a vision, and no vision of life can be complete which does not include the articulate formulation of life which human minds make.
Onde convenne legge per fren porre
It is one of the greatest merits of Dantes poem that the vision is so nearly complete; it is evidence of this greatness that the significance of any single passage, of any of the passages that are selected as poetry, is incomplete unless we ourselves apprehend the whole.
And Dante helps us to provide a criticism of M. Valérys modern poet who attempts to produce in us a
A state, in itself, is nothing whatever.
M. Valérys account is quite in harmony with pragmatic doctrine, and with the tendencies of such a work as William Jamess
Varieties of Religious Experience.
The mystical experience is supposed to be valuable because it is a pleasant state of unique intensity. But the true mystic is not satisfied merely by feeling, he must pretend at least that he
and the absorption into the divine is only the necessary, if paradoxical, limit of this contemplation. The poet does not aim to excitethat is not even a test of his successbut to set something down; the state of the reader is merely that readers particular mode of perceiving what the poet has caught in words. Dante, more than any other poet, has succeeded in dealing with his philosophy, not as a theory (in the modern and not the Greek sense of that word) or as his own comment or reflection, but in terms of something
When most of our modern poets confine themselves to what they had perceived, they produce for us, usually, only odds and ends of still life and stage properties; but that does not imply so much that the method of Dante is obsolete, as that our vision is perhaps comparatively restricted.
My friend the Abbé Laban has reproached me for attributing to Landor, in this essay, sentiments which are merely the expression of his dramatic figure Petrarch, and which imply rather Landors reproof of the limitations of the historical Petrarchs view of Dante, than the view of Landor himself. The reader should therefore observe this correction of my use of Landors honoured name.

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, embracing policies dismissed by his predecessor, is forcing euro bears to capitulate.
Since July 26, when Draghi said he would do "whatever it takes" to save the 17-nation euro, the currency has appreciated versus each of its 16 major counterparts tracked by Bloomberg. The cost to protect against a default on government debt in western Europe tumbled to a 15-month low and confidence in the region's banking system is improving, with bank stocks rallying 33% since June 1, exceeding the 18% gain in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index.
The way [Draghi] proceeded, I've called him a genius
While former ECB President Jean-Claude Trichet kept the central bank from propping up debt-laden governments by limiting purchases of their securities as the almost three-year crisis deepened, Draghi has done the opposite since he took over in November. His decisions are placing everyone from former International Monetary Fund Chief Economist Kenneth Rogoff to fund manager Axel Merk on the wrong side of the market.
"It has been a game changer, and Draghi has done the heavy lifting," Merk, president and founder of Merk Investments LLC in Palo Alto, California, said in a Sept. 13 telephone interview. His US$526-million Merk Hard Currency Fund has jumped 3.38% in the past month, beating 92% of its peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Breakup Odds
Draghi, 65, has shown a greater willingness than Trichet to use the ECB's balance sheet to aid Spain and Italy, and he relaxed his predecessor's insistence that senior bondholders at crippled banks shouldn't suffer losses in bailouts.
Merk, who said he was "very negative" on the euro earlier this year because of what he called the dysfunctional process in resolving Europe's crisis, has turned into a buyer. "The euro has much higher to go from here, though it's not out of the woods yet," he said.
Chances of a breakup of the monetary union by the end of 2013 fell to 50% from more than 60% in late July, according to Dublin-based Intrade.com data, after Draghi gave details last week of a plan announced in August to buy debt of members including Spain and Italy.
The euro soared to a four-month high of US$1.3169 on Sept. 14, before trading at US$1.3139 as of 10:20 a.m. in New York. It appreciated 3.93% over the past month against a basket of nine other developed-market currencies, including the yen, pound and Australian dollar, and is the biggest gainer, according to Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes.
Highest Forecast
What European policy makers "have shown so far is their willingness to support the currency union and do as much as they can," said Mary Nicola, a New York-based currency strategist at BNP Paribas SA.
BNP Paribas has the joint highest year-end estimate for the euro of any of the 46 strategists surveyed by Bloomberg, calling for the currency to strengthen to US$1.35. The euro's lifetime average since it was created in 1999 is about US$1.21.
Rising confidence in Europe is helping global markets. The MSCI All-Country World Index of equities has soared 17% since its low this year on June 4. The Standard & Poor's GSCI Index of commodities is up 25% from its 2012 bottom on June 21. Corporate bonds have returned 4.8% since the end of March, including reinvested interest, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch index data.
Bank stocks in the Stoxx Europe 600 Index have climbed to their highest level since March 21.
Sentiment Switch
Just three months ago bets against Draghi's ability to hold the monetary union together reached record highs.
The difference in the number of wagers by hedge funds and other large speculators on a decline in the euro compared with those on a gain — so-called net shorts — was 214,418, the most ever, on June 5, figures from the Washington-based Commodity Futures Trading Commission show. That amounts to a US$33.4-billion bet against the euro.
Protection against losses on the senior debt of 25 banks and insurers with credit-default swaps rose more than 50% between March and July. Yields on 10-year Spanish bonds jumped to a euro-era record of 7.75% on July 27 as the nation sought a bailout of its banks.
Rogoff, who is now an economics professor at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, told Tom Keene on "Bloomberg Surveillance" July 27 that while he expected Greece, which held consecutive elections in May and June amid public opposition to spending cuts after undergoing the largest ever sovereign-debt restructuring, to "ultimately" leave the euro, "the real question is what is going to happen to the broader euro?"
'Viable Solution'
Carmen Reinhart, also a professor at Harvard and the co- author with Rogoff of "This Time Is Different: Eight Centuries of Financial Folly" said at the Bloomberg Markets 50 Summit in New York Sept. 13 that euro-area governments must pursue deeper debt reduction if they are to end the region's three-year fiscal turmoil. "A viable solution is being put off the table," she said. "Attempts to work on debt restructuring apart from austerity is what's required within the euro."
The debt turmoil has slowed economic growth. The Kiel-based Institute for the World Economy said Sept. 13 in an e-mailed statement that growth in Germany, Europe's biggest economy, will slow to 0.8% in 2012 from 3% last year. The eurozone may shrink 0.5% this year, according to the median of 50 forecasts in a Bloomberg survey.
Market Divergence
Foreign-exchange strategists cut their forecasts for the euro throughout the summer. They expect the common currency to fall to US$1.23 by the end of the year, compared with the median estimate of US$1.28 in a May survey. That's the second-largest decline among major currency pairs behind franc-dollar forecasts, which have dropped 2%.
That has led to the biggest divergence between 2012 fourth- quarter forecasts and current trading levels in 14 months.
Rising borrowing costs and diminished confidence in the euro prompted Draghi to signal in a July 26 speech to the Global Investment Conference in London that the ECB was ready to buy bonds to curb rising yields and boost confidence.
"Within our mandate, the ECB is ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro," he said. "Believe me, it will be enough."
What's different from Trichet's policy is that the plan proposed by Draghi is open ended and doesn't require the ECB to be treated with more seniority than other bondholders. The ECB's balance sheet swelled by about 442-billion euros (US$580-billion) to 2.33-trillion euros during Trichet's last year as ECB president. The central bank's holdings have increased by 745-billion euros since Draghi took over in November.
A 'Genius'
ECB Governing Council member Panicos Demetriades said the bank might not have to spend a cent on government bonds. The threat of unlimited buying under the ECB's new bond-purchase program may mean that "in the end, action is not needed," Demetriades, who heads the Central Bank of Cyprus, said Sept. 12 in an interview in Nicosia.
Germany's top constitutional court on Sept. 12 rejected efforts to block a permanent 500-billion-euro euro-area rescue fund, which is meant to work in tandem with the unlimited bond- purchase program aimed at containing interest rates in countries such as Spain and Italy. The ECB may buy bonds with maturities as long as three years on the secondary markets of countries that ask Europe's bailout fund to purchase their debt on the primary exchanges.
"The way he proceeded, I've called him a genius," Merk said of Draghi. "He has managed to do what the politicians haven't been able to do without becoming too political. He's moving the responsibility to political bodies."
Dollar Depreciation
The currency is also getting a boost from a weakening dollar, as the Federal Reserve embarks on a third round of bond purchases, or quantitative easing, buying US$40-billion a month in mortgage bonds to inject cash into the economy and attempt to bring down unemployment.
Intercontinental Exchange Inc.'s Dollar Index slumped as much as 19% to 72.696 from 89.624 as the Fed printed currency to buy US$2.3-trillion of mortgage and Treasury debt in two rounds of QE from December 2008 to June 2011. It's down more than 6% from its intraday high this year of 84.1 on July 24 to 78.858.
The Markit iTraxx SovX Western Europe Index of credit swaps on 15 governments fell to 188 basis points last week, the lowest level since the series started trading in March. A previous version of the index that included Greece was last this low in May 2011.
Options Bets
A basis point on a credit-default swap protecting 10-million euros of debt from default for five years is equivalent to 1,000 euros a year. Swaps pay the buyer face value in exchange for the underlying securities or the cash equivalent should a borrower fail to adhere to its debt agreements.
Options traders have eased bets the euro is going to fall against the dollar by year-end since Draghi hinted the ECB would purchase debt at the Aug. 2 central bank meeting.
The three-month so-called 25-delta risk reversal rate was minus 0.79% Monday, signaling greater demand for euro puts that give the right to sell the shared currency, versus calls. The rate was minus 2.05% on Aug. 2 and minus 4.39% on Nov. 17, the most since at least 2003 based on data compiled by Bloomberg.
Futures traders decreased their bets that the euro will decline against the U.S. dollar last week, figures from the Washington-based Commodity Futures Trading Commission show. The difference in the number of wagers by hedge funds and other large speculators on a decline in the euro compared with those on a gain, so-called net shorts, was 93,658 on Sept. 11, compared with net shorts of 102,306 a week earlier.
Mighty ECB
"We are expecting some more upside on euro-dollar to develop," said Ian Stannard, head of European foreign-exchange strategy in London at Morgan Stanley, which capitulated last week on its call for a lower euro.
Those betting on the demise of the euro may now have to realize that the ECB is as mighty as the Fed
Morgan Stanley said in a report dated Sept. 13 that it now expects the currency will rise to $1.34 by Dec. 31, rather than fall to $1.19.
"Over the years, global investors have learned that it does not pay to fight the Fed," Holger Schmieding, chief economist at Berenberg Bank in London, said this month in an interview. "Those betting on the demise of the euro may now have to realize that the ECB is as mighty as the Fed."

Pots de creme (PO-de-[insert phlem here] and say from deep in your throat "c-h-hrem") is a simple dessert. I think of it as a baked custard. Actually, Pots de Creme is a lot like a creme brulee. Both are baked in a bain marie (water bath). The only real difference is that a brulee has caramelized sugar, from a blow torch.
NOTE: I've read that it's safe to use tea cups (which makes a pretty presentation) as the pot de creme is baked in water, at a temperature. I'm not that daring, as my tea cups are heirlooms. Set the ramekins on a clean kitchen towel, in a roasting pan and the oven should be preheated to 325F.
VERDICT: The texture was very creamy, indeed. Pots de Creme are very quick and easy to make. If you don't own a torch to make creme brulee, then this dessert is for you. This is naked pumpkin pie, and I'm fine with that-- as I'm not the biggest fan of pie crust. Not too sweet, and the spice was balanced nicely. As for the pecans, my son liked them. I don't think they're necessary, but if you want to take the extra step, they make a pretty presentation. That sorts of makes up for the not-so-appealing color. I still prefer my Pumpkin Brulee recipe, but this one come close.
