Lawmakers warn congressional vote on whether to strike Syria could fail
Updated at 5:15 p.m. ET
President Obama formally submitted a draft resolution authorizing the use of military force in Syria to both houses of Congress on Saturday. Accordingly, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., both pledged to schedule a vote on the resolution soon after lawmakers return from their recess on September 9.
What happens next, however, is anyone's guess.
Some lawmakers expressed optimism on Sunday that Congress would rise to the occasion and pass the resolution. Others, however, predicted that the resolution would fail, to the detriment of America's image in the world, saying President Obama simply hasn't explained why U.S. intervention in Syria is in America's interest, despite the U.S. government's "high confidence" that the regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad killed over 1,400 civilians in a chemical weapons attack on August 21.
Many lawmakers were unsure, saying administration officials have to make a strong case in the days ahead if they hope to push the resolution through a legislature riven by a matrix of divides - between hawks and doves, Democrats and Republicans, leaders and their rank-and-file.
Dozens of congressmen - about 100, according to several lawmakers present - arrived on Capitol Hill on Sunday to receive a classified intelligence briefing from administration officials who pressed the case for intervention.
Lawmakers who emerged from the briefing, however, were divided on whether they would vote to authorize the use of force.
Rep. Janice Hahn, D-Calif., said there was a "lot of concern" in the room, and that members of Congress seemed to be "evenly divided" over the proposed military action
"I don't know if every member of Congress is there yet. I'm not there yet," she said, wondering whether there's "another way to hold Assad accountable."
Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., similarly said he would vote against the current resolution.
Several lawmakers said they needed to hear more information - and see final legislative language - before making a decision.
"I need to hear more," said Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., suggesting the language in the draft resolution may give the president too much latitude in waging war.
"The broad authority the president asked for I think creates lots of concern," he explained, saying the administration is "open on the language issue, and I think they would have to be if they want [Congress' approval]."
Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., said he has a "number of questions that have to be resolved" before he decides how to vote, saying the draft resolution submitted Saturday is "very, very broad."
The Obama administration "presented to Congress a strong case," added Rep. Gerry Connolly, D-Va., but the result "depends on the resolution that ultimately we're asked to vote on."
Rep. Sander Levin, D-Mich., said he would vote in favor of the resolution and predicted it would pass.
"I have confidence that members of Congress will step up to the plate, because if we do nothing, I think it sends a very wrong message," he said. "I think now and then we can go beyond politics, and this is one time we need to."
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., a close ally of President Obama, told CBS News' "Face the Nation" that he's "confident" Congress will rally behind the principle that the use of chemical weapons violates an important international norm.
He also argued coming to Congress was the right thing to do, despite any uncertainty about the outcome.
"We should not be sending servicemen and women into military conflict if they don't have complete confidence that the nation's political leadership is behind them," Kaine said. "And so what this debate in Congress will do is it will educate the American public about the important principles at stake against use of chemical weapons. And it will help them understand, and help Congress come to a consensus about what needs to be done."
Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., agreed, predicting on CNN that Congress "will rise to the occasion."
"This is a national security issue. This isn't about, you know, Barack Obama versus the Congress. This isn't about Republicans versus Democrats," he said. "I think when members of Congress get the information about the sarin gas attack...I think that Congress will rise to its...constitutional responsibilities to provide for the general defense of the United States."
To those who have questioned the wisdom of seeking congressional approval, as some in his party have done, Rogers asked, "Why shouldn't Congress share in the responsibility? ...If you believe in the Constitution of the United States that firmly puts...the responsibility for Congress to provide for the general defense, that means that we're involved in this discussion. And we should be."
Sen. Chris Murphy said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that he enters the debate "as a skeptic, but I'm going to allow the administration to make its case this week."
Ultimately, Murphy predicted, "I think Congress passes the authorization."
- McCain: Assad "euphoric" about Obama's decision on Syria strike
- U.S. has firm evidence sarin was used in Syria, Kerry says
- Syrian state media: Obama's Congress request is a "retreat"
- Obama's Syria strike decision aims to get Congress on the record
The show of optimism from some, however, was contested by other lawmakers who remain deeply skeptical that Congress will endorse the use of force in Syria.
Sen. James Inhofe, R-Okla., was asked on Fox News whether lawmakers would ultimately approve the resolution sanctioning military action, and he flatly declared, "I don't think they will."
Inhofe said he personally opposes the use of force, in part because of what he called the "degraded" condition of the U.S. military after more than a decade of war.
"Nobody wants to talk about the real serious problem here, and that is the condition of our military today," Inhofe said. "I said I would oppose going in and having military intervention against Syria. It may sound real easy when people like Secretary Kerry say this is going to be quick and we'll go in and we're going to send a few cruise missiles, wash our hands and go home. It doesn't work that way. This could be war in the Middle East."
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., a hawkish Republican who has criticized President Obama's decision to seek congressional approval, said on Fox News that he plans to vote in favor of U.S. involvement in Syria, but worried it would be "difficult" to persuade a majority of his colleagues to follow suit.
"The president has not made the case. When they see the president being so weak and vacillating, many members of Congress will vote no," he said. "If the vote were today, it would probably be a no vote. I'm hoping by the time next week comes around, and hopefully, the president can make his case, that he will be able to get a majority of the House of Representatives."
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., told NBC's "Meet the Press" that it's a "mistake" for the U.S. to involve itself in Syria, signaling a likely vote against the resolution, but he applauded the president's decision to seek congressional approval.
Paul predicted the Senate would "rubber-stamp" the president's push for U.S. intervention, but said the outcome in the House is more uncertain - "50-50," in his estimation.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., who has generally urged greater U.S. involvement in Syria, declined on "Face the Nation" to stake out a definitive position on the resolution, saying he needs to see a strategy that will further U.S. goals before voting in favor of a military strike.
He warned, however, that the consequences of the resolution's potential failure could be "very, very serious," dealing a heavy blow to America's resolve and our image in the world.
McCain's old friend, former Sen. Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut, buttressed the Arizona Republican's argument on Fox News.
"The worst of all ends to this whole saga would be for Congress not to give the president authority to act," he said. "It would be catastrophic. And I know there are going to be people in the Republican and Democratic parties, who, for policy reasons, will oppose the resolution the president has asked for. There are going to be others who are going to be tempted to hang the president out there by voting no."
"When they do that, they are not just going to be hanging the president out there, they're going to be hanging America out there, and compromising our credibility in the world," Lieberman explained. "So I appeal to my fellow members of Congress - give the president the authority he's asked for."

U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
EEOC Says Male Supervisor Requested Sexual Favors, Groped Female Workers
DENVER – A Durango, Colo.-based McDonald's restaurant franchise will pay $505,000 and provide significant remedial relief to settle a sexual harassment lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on behalf of a class of young female employees, including teens, the agency announced today.
The EEOC's suit, Civil Action No. 06-cv-01871-MSK-CBS, was filed in U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado against JOBEC, Inc., a management company, and the interrelated corporations Colorado Hamburger Company, Inc. and Farmington Hamburger Company, Inc., who operate McDonald's franchises in Durango and Cortez, Colo., and Farmington and Aztec, N.M.
The Commission's suit alleged that Tiawna Shenefield, now known as Tiawna Jacobson, Brandi Michal and a class of females, many of whom were 15 to 17 years old, were subjected to egregious sexual harassment in the workplace by their male supervisor. The harassment allegedly included the supervisor biting the breasts and grabbing the buttocks of the class members, making numerous sexual comments, as well as offers of favors in exchange for sex. Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
"The EEOC will vigorously prosecute claims of harassment, especially cases involving teenagers, many of whom are in the workplace for the first time," said Mary Jo O'Neill, regional attorney for the EEOC's Phoenix, Denver and Albuquerque offices.
Under the terms of the consent decree resolving the case, the defendants will pay the two named victims and their attorney, Lynne Sholler, of Durango a total of $450,000 for compensatory damages and attorney fees. An additional $55,000 will be distributed to two other class members represented by the EEOC.
The decree also provides for significant non-monetary relief, including letters of apology to the victims; training on sex discrimination in the defendants' Colorado and New Mexico facilities; posting notices of non-discrimination in all of the defendants' workplaces; and an injunction prohibiting discrimination and retaliation.
Chester V. Bailey, district director of the EEOC's Phoenix office, added, "Employers must recognize their responsibility to assure that young workers -- one of the most vulnerable segments of the labor force – are not harassed at work. That's why the Commission has a national initiative to address this important issue."
Attorney Lynne Sholler, who represented two of the alleged victims, said, "My clients and I are glad to have this case finally resolved. I am particularly pleased that this employer will be required to put in place training and procedures to prevent and address workplace harassment."
In September 2004, EEOC Chair Naomi C. Earp (then vice chair) launched the federal agency's national Youth@Work Initiative -- a comprehensive outreach and education campaign designed to inform teens about their employment rights and responsibilities and to help employers create positive first work experiences for young adults. The EEOC has held more than 3,400 Youth@Work events nationwide since the program was launched, reaching more than 212,000 students, education professionals, and employers.
Further information about the Youth@Work campaign, including how to schedule a free Youth@Work outreach presentation, is available on the agency's web site at http://www.eeoc.gov/initiatives/youth/index.html. Specific EEOC-related information for teens is available on the Youth@Work web site at http://www.youth.eeoc.gov.The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on its web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Not since the late 1800s have so many bicycles been on the roads. Early on, bicycling was a trend, a novelty for the upper classes, and about as sporty as a tea party. But bikes have come a long way since then and so has bicycle safety. The recent riding resurgence has no doubt been sparked by a growing awareness of the many health, environmental, and financial benefits of riding a bike.
But while modern cyclists have traded in jaunty caps for high-tech helmets and Grand Canyon-sized potholes for smooth, paved streets, the dangers are still what they were in the good old days, which is to say significant.
With more and more cars on the road as well, it's not always easy to know who has the right of way and who should (simply put) get out of the way. With this in mind, we put together a few quick tips for finding harmony with bikes on the increasingly crowded (and sometimes chaotic) streets.
Understand cycling laws.
Knowing how the rules of the road apply to cyclists will give you greater road-sharing confidence. Like cars, bicycles are considered proper vehicles in most cities and states. That means cyclists are required to adhere to many of the same laws as drivers. They should stop at red lights and stop signs (though some states have exclusions to the latter), and they should communicate their intentions through the use of hand signals.
Most importantly, it also means that they're allowed use of the full lane when it's unsafe to ride on the right side. Low shoulders, parked delivery vehicles, unsafe road conditions, and open car doors are instances in which they might be forced to use the full lane. And like any coupe or sedan, bicycles are not permitted to ride on the sidewalk.
So if you encounter a bike in your lane, be cautious and patient and understand that the rider has a right to be there and is probably navigating around a potential hazard.
Think safety.
Keep in mind that your car is much heavier and more powerful than a bicycle, and where you have seatbelts and airbags, cyclists only have chunks of plastic strapped to their heads! To avoid accidentally hitting someone on a bike, it's important to brush up on a few safety tips.
Let's start with right turns. Bike lanes are on the right side of the lane, and even if there isn't one there, that's where cyclists are required to ride. When making a right turn, in addition to using your turn signal, it's essential to double-check your rearview mirror and back window before turning. Cyclists move fast and are sometimes hard to see. If you turn into their trajectory, bam! Bad news for everyone involved.
The second-most-likely time that your car might injure a cyclist is when you open your door to get out. The driver-side door swings into the part of the road where cyclists are riding and has sharp angles and a large flat surface that can cause serious injuries. A rider coming toward you may not realize you're in the car and about to get out, so, remember to check your rear window and open your door slowly. .
Think safety (again).
ALWAYS be extra careful when passing a cyclist, and when driving at night, keep an eye out for those reflectors and blinking lights! If you have an accident with a bicycle, you should follow the same procedures that you would if you were in an accident with a car. Take a few minutes to give the cyclist your insurance information and to exchange contact info.
And share! There's plenty of road to go around. We hope this post gives you a better understanding of why cyclists sometimes weave or dart into your path. Chances are they're just trying to keep themselves safe. So share your lane, use caution, and remember to be patient. With nearly 3 million miles of paved roads in the U.S., there's plenty of room for everyone.
Drive/pedal safely out there!

Welcome to Acquisition Games!
The Acquisition Games website is derived from my long desire to promote and enhance the Sid Sackson game of ACQUIRE.
I played my first game of ACQUIRE in 1979. I thought the game was skewed towards one player as I sat through the whole game with no money and no general input into the outcome of the game. I liked the overall concept of the game of ACQUIRE but I thought it could offer so much more.
I formulated some rule changes to help bring the game back into the reality of corporate America and to help the game become "new player friendly." I figured that the more friends I could attract to the game, the more times I could play. The changes also helped to make the game undecided until the final count of money. That aspect allowed every player to stay involved in the game until the end.
I developed a lot of other ideas for the game of ACQUIRE but decided to keep them to myself for many years. In 2006, my older sister convinced me to make my rules available to everybody. That began a journey that has brought me to this website.
For fourteen years I have surrounded my life with advancing the game of ACQUIRE. The Acquisition Games Website offers my ideas and research to anyone who is interested. I find far too many 40 to 50 year old ACQUIRE games that are never played. The goal of this website is to add something to the experience of playing the game of ACQUIRE and to hopefully get these games played many times. The goal is also to attract as many people to this fantastic game as possible and to help it fulfill its rightful position as the best board game ever. The hope is that you would share this website with others to help them find the true enjoyment of the game of ACQUIRE.
This website will also allow you to fix your vintage ACQUIRE game if it is missing pieces. Though these games have been long forgotten by the corporate giants who created them, you can still fix your game on the Acquisition Games website which will allow you to enjoy playing it for years to come. We also offer enhancements for the game of ACQUIRE, Including Lloyd's Rules of ACQUIRE, which will allow you to expand your experience with the game.
I created an expansion of ACQUIRE in 2012 in the form of MEGAcquire. I was only able to produce 500 games but that at least allowed many thousands of people to enjoy the experience of a larger and enhanced version of ACQUIRE. The Hasbro Corp. asked me to change the name so I tried to produce the game twice again under the name of MEGAcquisitions but was unsuccessful.
I have since decided to downsize my game and call it Acquisitions. I have begun the process to develop a new overall theme to the game. It has become time to move away from the Hotel/Corporation theme. There will be an interestingly reconfigured board with 120 hexagon spaces and I have also added a twist to the strategy of acquiring holdings in the entities on the board. The ideas have been sent to my game designer and I will post updates to the website as they become available.
I appreciate your interest in the Acquisition Games website and I hope it will be helpful.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble antioxidant that protects your cells against damaging free radicals and plays other vital roles in the body. However, it is potentially more dangerous than most other vitamins because it can build up to toxic levels. For this reason, it should be used with caution.
It has long been assumed that beta-carotene supplements taken at nutritional doses are a safer way to get the vitamin A you need. However, while this may be true in general, beta-carotene also appears to present some risks. See the full Beta-Carotene article for more information.
Vitamin A is an essential nutrient—meaning you must get it in the diet. The official U.S. recommendations for daily intake of vitamin A 38 are expressed in international units (IUs) or retinol activity equivalents (RAE), which are measured in micrograms, as follows:
- 0-6 months: 400 mcg RAE or 1,330 IU
- 7-12 months: 500 mcg RAE or 1,665 IU
- 1-3 years: 300 mcg RAE or 1,000 IU
- 4-8 years: 400 mcg RAE or 1,330 IU
- 9-13 years: 600 mcg RAE or 2,000 IU
- 14 years and older: 900 mcg RAE or 3,000 IU
- 9-13 years: 600 mcg RAE or 2,000 IU
- 14 years and older: 700 mcg RAE or 2,330 IU
Pregnant Women
- 18 years or younger: 750 mcg RAE or 2,500 IUs
- 19 years and older: 770 mcg RAE or 2,560 IU
Nursing Women
- 18 years or younger: 1,200 mcg RAE or 4,000 IUs
- 19 years and older: 1,300 mcg RAE or 4,300 IU
Warning : Pregnant women should not take vitamin A supplements. Instead they should take beta-carotene.
We get vitamin A from many foods, in the form of either vitamin A or beta-carotene. Liver and dairy products are excellent sources of vitamin A. Carrots, apricots, collard greens, kale, sweet potatoes, parsley, and spinach are good sources as well.
Deficiency in vitamin A is common in developing countries. 1 In the developed world, deficiency is relatively rare. However, certain diseases can cause vitamin A deficiency by impairing the ability of the digestive tract to absorb nutrients. These include Crohn's disease , ulcerative colitis , and cystic fibrosis.
Therapeutic Dosages
Although some studies have used high doses of vitamin A, intake above the safe upper limit level is not recommended except on physician advice (see Safety Issues ).
Therapeutic Uses
There is some evidence that vitamin A supplements reduce deaths from measles and other infectious illnesses among children in developing countries, 3,39 presumably because they correct a deficiency in the children's diets. This doesn't mean that vitamin A supplements above and beyond the basic nutritional requirement are a useful treatment for measles or any other childhood disease.
Vitamin A might improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes . Unfortunately, people with diabetes may also be especially vulnerable to liver damage from excessive amounts of vitamin A (see Safety Issues ). Therefore, if you have diabetes, you should take vitamin A only on the advice of a physician.
Vitamin A has shown some potential for preventing one type of skin cancer (squamous cell cancer). 41,42 However, in these studies, doses above the standard safe upper limits have been used. With proper monitoring, this may be safe, but we do not recommend trying it without physician supervision. High-dose vitamin A has been tried for a variety of other skin diseases, including acne , psoriasis , rosacea , seborrhea , and eczema , 21-24 as well as menorrhagia (heavy menstruation) 4 and retinitis pigmentosa (a chronic disease of the eyes). 43-44 However, the benefits seen have been modest at best, and again the recommended dosages of vitamin A are so high as to raise concerns about toxic risk.
Vitamin A might be beneficial for people with HIV; however, results of studies have been contradictory, and some evidence even suggests that vitamin A supplements might increase transmission of the disease from a pregnant mother to her newborn. 45
Topical vitamin A may be helpful for treatment of aging skin. One double-blind, placebo-controlled study found that a 0.4% vitamin A lotion applied three times a week significantly reduced the number of "fine" wrinkles in seniors. 46 Benefits were also seen in terms of some biochemical measures of skin health.
On the basis of very weak evidence, too weak to be relied upon at all, vitamin A has been proposed as a treatment for a wide variety of other conditions, including Down's syndrome, ear infections , eating disorders , glaucoma , gout , impaired night vision , kidney stones , lupus , multiple sclerosis , ulcerative colitis , and ulcers .
One study suggests that vitamin A is not effective for Crohn's disease . 12
What Is the Scientific Evidence for Vitamin A?
According to many 16,17 but not all 18,19 studies, people with diabetes tend to be deficient in vitamin A.
An observational study suggests that vitamin A supplements may improve blood sugar control in people with diabetes. 20 However, due to safety concerns, they should not supplement with vitamin A except under medical supervision (see Safety Issues ).
Menorrhagia (Heavy Menstruation)
One study suggests that women with heavy menstrual bleeding can benefit from taking 25,000 IU daily of vitamin A. 25 But vitamin A cannot be recommended as an ongoing treatment for menorrhagia, since women who menstruate can become pregnant, and even fairly low doses of supplemental vitamin A may cause birth defects.
HIV Support
One small double-blind study suggested that taking beta-carotene might raise white blood cell count in people with HIV . 26 However, two subsequent larger controlled trials found no significant differences between those taking beta-carotene or placebo in white blood cell count, CD4+ count, or other measures of immune function. 27,28
Two observational studies lasting 6 to 8 years suggest that higher intakes of vitamin A or beta-carotene may be helpful, but they also found that caution is in order with regard to dosage. 29,30 This group of researchers generally linked higher intake of vitamin A or beta-carotene to lower risk of AIDS and lower death rates, with an important exception: people with the highest intake of either nutrient (more than 11,179 IU per day of beta-carotene, more than 20,268 IU per day of vitamin A) did worse than those who took somewhat less.
Despite hopes that vitamin A given to pregnant, HIV-positive women might decrease the infection rate of their babies, two double-blind studies have found no significant differences between babies whose mothers took vitamin A compared to those whose mothers took placebo. 31,32 In any case, vitamin A is not considered safe in pregnancy; beta-carotene is preferred.
Crohn's Disease
According to a double-blind study of 86 people with Crohn's disease , vitamin A does not help prevent flare-ups. 33
Lower Respiratory Tract Infections
Lower respiratory tract infections include conditions like pneumonia and bronchiolitis. Young children are especially susceptible to these infections. A review of 10 trials involving over 33,000 children under age 7 years found that, in the majority of cases, vitamin A did not reduce the incidence of infection or severity of symptoms. 47 In two of the studies, vitamin A was beneficial for undernourished children. However, children with adequate nutrition actually faired worse.
Safety Issues
The safe upper intake levels of vitamin A have been set as follows: 38
- 0-12 months: 600 mcg RAE or 2,000 IU
- 1-3 years: 600 mcg RAE or 2,000 IU
- 4-8 years: 900 mcg RAE or 3,000 IU
Males and Females
- 9-13 years: 1,700 mcg RAE or 5,660 IUs
- 14-18 years: 2,800 mcg RAE or 9,320 IUs
- 19 years and older: 3,000 mcg RAE or 10,000 IU
Pregnant Women
- 18 years old or younger: 2,800 mcg RAE or 9,320 IU
- 19 years and older: 3,000 mcg RAE or 10,000 IU
Nursing Women
- 18 years old or younger: 2,800 mcg RAE or 9,320 IU
- 19 years and older: 3,000 mcg RAE or 10,000 IU
It is thought that dosages of vitamin A above 50,000 IU per day taken for several years can cause liver injury, bone problems, fatigue, hair loss, headaches, and dry skin. However, one recent study found no harm with dosages as high as 75,000 IU taken for 1 year. 42 Nonetheless, we do not recommend using vitamin A at doses over the upper levels, except under close physician supervision. Some people may be more likely to develop toxic symptoms than others.
If you already have liver disease, check with your doctor before taking vitamin A supplements, because even small doses may be harmful.
It is thought that people with diabetes may have trouble releasing vitamin A stored in the liver. This may mean that they are at greater risk for vitamin A toxicity.
Excessive intake of vitamin A (or beta-carotene ) appears to accelerate liver injury in people with alcoholism . 34 In addition, relatively high intake of vitamin A (but not beta-carotene) has been associated with increased risk of osteoporosis . 35,40
Women should avoid supplementing with vitamin A during pregnancy, because at toxic levels it might increase the risk of birth defects. Pregnant women taking valproic acid medications (Depakote, Depacon, or Depakene) may be even more at risk of vitamin A toxicity. 36
Vitamin A may increase the anticoagulant effects of warfarin (Coumadin). 37 In addition, because vitamin A chemically resembles the drug isotretinoin (Accutane), it may amplify its toxic effects.
Interactions You Should Know About
If you are taking:
- Isotretinoin (Accutane) : Don't take vitamin A, as the two might enhance each other's toxicity.
- Valproic acid (Depakote, Depacon, or Depakene) and you are pregnant : Do not take vitamin A supplements unless advised to do so by a physician.
- Warfarin (Coumadin): Do not take vitamin A supplements unless advised to do so by a physician.

Resplendent with cool, literature-loving women and geeky, awkward men, [New York Drawings] platforms a fondness for capturing life on the NYC underground in all its oddness and irritations...A beautiful and thought-nudging collection.The List
A collection of illustrations from the New Yorker cover artist and award-winning cartoonist
Two strangers, both reading the same novel, share a fleeting glance between passing subway cars. A bookstore owner locks eyes with a neighbor as she receives an Amazon package. Strangers are united by circumstance as they wait on the subway stairs for a summer storm to pass.
Adrian Tomine's illustrations and comics have appeared for more than a decade in the pages (and on the cover) of the New Yorker. Instantly recognizable for their deceptively simple and evocative style, these images have garnered the attention of the New Yorker's readership and the approbation of such venerable institutions as the Art Directors Club and American Illustration.
New York Drawings is a loving homage to the city that Tomine, a West Coast transplant, has called home for the past seven years. This lavish, beautifully designed volume collects every cover, comic, and illustration that he has produced for the New Yorker to date, along with an assortment of other rare and uncollected illustrations and sketches inspired by the city. Complete with notes and annotations by the author, New York Drawings will also feature a new introductory comic focusing on Tomine's experiences as a New York illustrator.
Praise for New York Drawings
[New York Drawings is] an incredible compilation of [Tomine's] comics, illustrations and sketches that highlight both the sense of loneliness/non-loneliness that comes with life in New York City.Paper Mag
The tender moments and chance encounters illustrated [in New York Drawings] are universal...It's almost as if the protagonist in this book is the breeze that blows up through the grates in the road, wafting over people as they receive Amazon packages, get book deals, catch someone's eye on the subway, and move like funny, flustered ants around the streets.It's Nice That
Particularly adept at capturing the alienation, awkwardness and unexpected moments of amusement that punctuate big city living, anyone looking for more on Tomine's work is well advised to purchase his elegant coffee table book New York Drawings.GQ
Adrian Tomine arrives in New York, and we suddenly remember why we all love living in The Big City, whatever the hassles may be. Tomine's wit is as sharp as his heart is tender, and his portrait of the city is not only intellectually stimulating, but also emotionally and aesthetically rewarding. A must for all New Yorkers and all New Yorkers at heart.Françoise Mouly, art editor, The New Yorker and editorial director, TOON Books

A list of items that are acquired like Special Weapons and can be used as transports by the player. With the exception of the Magnet Beam and Super Arrow, Mega Man becomes red and white when using a transport item.
Magnet Beam
Magnet Beam (マグネットビーム Magunetto Bīmu) is an item from the first Mega Man game that can temporarily create beams that can be used as platforms.
Item-1 (アイテム1号 Aitemu 1gou, lit. Item #1) is a levitating platform from Mega Man 2 that Dr. Light gives to Mega Man when Heat Man is defeated. It's possible to have three platforms on screen at once. This item is required to reach a ladder in the first Wily Castle stage. During the fight with Air Man, if Mega Man stands on an Item-1 platform, Air Man will not blow his tornadoes. Each platform consumes 2 units of energy.
In the Archie Comics Mega Man series, Dr. Light supplied Mega Man, via Cut Man, with program data that allowed Mega Man to utilize Item-1s, alongside Item-2s and Item-3s, after Mega Man had been restored to his regular state of mind.
Item-2 (アイテム2号 Aitemu 2gou, lit. Item #2) is a jet sled from Mega Man 2 that is obtained when Air Man is defeated. It can be used to pass by long gaps, like the area with Appearing Blocks in Heat Man's stage, and is required to pass the spiked area in the beginning of the second Wily Castle stage.
Item-2 has a fatal weakness however: once summoned, it will fly forward and can not be stopped except by hitting a wall or changing weapons in the subscreen. Should Mega Man fail to jump on it in time, it will still fly away, wasting weapon energy. Once ridden, it cannot change direction either, and will still fly forward even if Mega Man falls off. Its function in the games was later replaced by Rush Jet, which eliminates all of these weakness.
Other media
- "When the going gets tough, the tough get going with these handy items! Item-1 is a sturdy floating platform. Item-2 is a speedy rocket-board. Item-3 is a helpful step that can scale any surface!"
- —Mega Man 3: The Return of Dr. Wily description
This item is the only one of the three from Mega Man 2 to appear in the manga Mega Man Megamix, which is used by Mega Man in the stories based on the events of Mega Man 2 and 4. It is eventually cannibalized by Auto into the Rush Roadster in Mega Man Gigamix, which he intended to use to enter the Battle & Chase competition, before it was taken by Mega Man to stop Roll from entering. Later, a repaired or new Item-2 is used by Mega Man when he, Cut Man, and Elec Man attempt to attack Terra. After the short battle, only the Item-2 is found by Dr. Light's other robots, their whereabouts and safety being unknown until their return.
Item-2 also appeared in the Mega Man comic by Archie Comics and the manga Rockman: Dr. Wily no Inbou. In the former, Dr. Light supplied Mega Man, via Cut Man, with program data that allowed Mega Man to utilize Item-2s, alongside Item-1s and Item-3s, after Mega Man had been restored to his regular state of mind. Mega Man later utilized an Item-2 to fly over to Copy Robot and finish him off with Tail Wind, before engaging Hyper Storm H. Item-2s were also utilized by the original Light Robot Masters to enter the Skull Egg Zone, where they arrived in as the heroes' cavalry. Two of them were loaned to Proto Man and Knuckles the Echidna to infiltrate the Wily Egg, while Dr. Light used Rush's jet mode while accompanying them.
Item-3Item-3 (アイテム3号 Aitemu 3gou, lit. Item #3) is a crawling platform that can be used as an elevator once it is latched onto a wall. It will change its direction once it reaches the top or bottom of a wall, or when Mega Man jumps off of it. It is obtained when Flash Man is defeated in Mega Man 2.
In the Mega Man Archie Comics series, Dr. Light supplied Mega Man, via Cut Man, with program data that allowed Mega Man to utilize Item-3s, alongside Item-1s and Item-2s, after Mega Man had been restored to his regular state of mind.
It can also be used to quickly bypass the first set of blocks in Heat Man's stage, and is required to climb up some walls in the Wily Castle.
Wire (ワイヤー Waiyā) is an item that Mega Man can use to attach himself to a ceiling. It's unique in that Mega Man has to look upward first before firing the weapon by holding Up on the D-pad. It is located inside a spike infested pit in Dive Man's stage in Mega Man 4 immediately after the second Moby mini-boss. Unlike many transport items, it is not required to beat any certain stage. Mega Man can use his normal buster when he reaches the end of the wire. The wire can hold Mega Man indefinitely unless the player presses Down or the Jump buttom, or when getting hit by enemies. It can also damage any enemy that may be in the path of the wire. Each shot uses 2 units of energy. If the wire adaptor is shot but Mega Man does not climb the wire, energy is still used. Interestingly, Wire is the first transport item that can deal damage, specifically to Wily Machine 4 phase 2. It can be used to drain about 3/4 of Wily Machine 4's health bar if aimed correctly (making two hits per pass) with a full bar of energy.
Balloon (バルーン Barūn) is an item that works in the same way as Item-1. It appears in Mega Man 4, in Pharaoh Man's stage. The item can be found by traveling towards the right, across the extra desert, and is located amidst three rock platforms over the sand. Up to eight balloons can be on the screen at any one time, however such a number is likely to never occur and results in severe lag and sprite flicker. Each balloon uses 2 units of energy.
Super Arrow
Super Arrow (スーパーアロー Sūpā Arō) is an item from Mega Man 5 that can be used to attack and create platforms, as it sticks to walls for a short time. It is obtained after Star Man's defeat.
Carry (キャリー Kyarī) is a single stationary platform that appears under Mega Man if he is in mid-air, or slightly ahead of him if he is standing on the ground at the time of use. It only appears in Mega Man: Dr. Wily's Revenge after Mega Man has defeated the initial four Robot Masters.
Proto Coil and Proto Jet
The Proto Coil and Proto Jet, known as Blues Coil (ブルースコイル) and Blues Jet (ブルースジェット) in Japan, are items that replace the Rush Coil and Rush Jet when playing as Proto Man in Mega Man 9 and 10. While they function equally to their Rush counterparts, Proto Man begins with both items at the start of each game.
