1 in 3 Providers Avoid Flu Shots as Stakes Rise
Added William Schaffner, MD, past president of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases: "We think very strongly about this. I believe that the immunization of the healthcare provider community, writ large, is both an ethical and a professional responsibility of those healthcare workers."
There are two reasons, Schaffner says. "The first and most important is that it's a patient safety issue, so that we do not transmit our influenza infection to our patients. The other reason is that when influenza strikes, we need to be vertical, not horizontal."
A CDC official, responding to an email query, wrote "Hospitals will be asked to report vaccinations received by healthcare personnel at the facility, vaccinations received outside the facility, medical contraindications, and declinations.
"Data must be reported for all payroll employees, licensed independent practitioners (who are physicians, advanced practice nurses, and physician assistants affiliated with the hospital but not on payroll), and students, trainees, and volunteers age 18 or older," for employees who worked at the facility at least 30 days between Oct. 1, 2012 and March 31, 2013.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
Ellen (10/31/2012 at 7:45 PM)
While I respect the value of the "patient's safety" where does the HCP stand as far as us being protected from patients? Will it be mandatory for all pts coming into the hospital have flu shots? I have never refused to take care of a patient for any health issue/disease they might present with but to me it just seems like the big concern is for the pt and no interest in what the nurse might contact from pt. I have been a nurse for 33 yrs, never had a flu shot and never had the flu. I have worked in my present position for over 9 yrs and have only missed one day of work due to illness.
Man (10/18/2012 at 9:54 AM)

School employee fights reprimand after insulting lesbians
July 21, 2005
WAYNE, N.J. -- An employee at William Paterson University who was reprimanded for using a private e-mail to describe homosexuals as "perversions" says his rights were violated.
Jihad Daniel, 68, of Hackensack, made his comments in March in response to an e-mail he received that had been sent university-wide by professor Arlene Holpp Scala. That message invited people to a film about lesbian relationships, titled "Ruthie and Connie: Every Room in the House."
Daniel, who works repairing the university's computer networks, responded in an e-mail to Scala that he did not want to receive messages about "Ruthie and Connie."
"These are perversions," he wrote as part of his one-paragraph response.
Daniel went on to write that "the absence of God in higher education brings on confusion. That is why in these classes the Creator of the heavens and the earth is never mentioned."
Scala forwarded the e-mail to a university office responsible for handling discrimination complaints, saying she thought it was threatening and also went against the school's anti-discrimination policy.
The publicly funded university reprimanded Daniel, saying his comments were derogatory and demeaning.
Daniel, who also takes communications classes part-time at the university, challenged the reprimand.
"Even if someone didn't like what you said, you still have the right to say it," said Daniel, who told The Record of Bergen County that he was
expressing his Muslim beliefs.
Daniel's appeals have been rejected by the university. A Philadelphia-based organization, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education, has taken up the case and says it will fight to have the reprimand removed.

This is going to be the season of the reaction shot.
The best part about American Idol's 12th year, at least until the singing gets serious, will be watching Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj respond to each other's nonsense. Carey's going to play to her reputation as a diva, and Minaj is going to roll her eyes. Then Minaj will tuck her hair behind her ear and launch into some excited exposition, and...

"Tuesdays with Morrie," a Royal Palm Players production
• Friday and Saturday, Nov. 16 and 17 at 8 p.m., 2 p.m. matinee on Sunday, Nov. 18
• Crowninshield Community House, located on Banyan Street East (2nd St.).
• Tickets are $25 and can be purchased at the door.
BY MARY COLE - Time is the great equalizer. We all have 24 hours in a day, and we never know when our time will be up. How we live our lives and use the time we have – how we approach love, compassion, work, aging, responsibility, family, forgiveness, and death—define who we are.
"Tuesdays with Morrie," playing at the Crowninshield Community House on Banyan Street November 15 through 18, challenges audience members to consider what to do with the time they have and asks, "Where are you going? Are you trying to be as human as you can be?"
Now this isn't something you find at a normal bargain shop. It is an antique, hand-painted desk that was donated to Boca Bargains, and is currently being coveted by Missy Crosby. Boca Bargains will open the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 24, and will be open from 9 a.m. until noon every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday after, until Easter.

It is all caps, but the lower case glyphs have rounded edges for a subtle difference if you are looking for a softer look. Use open type for some discretionary ligatures of common letter pairs (when set in all caps). Great for use on posters and in headline copy.

text: In this class textbook, Sunstein reveals her fears about the "Daily Me", the process by which individuals today can filter ever more increasing amounts of electronic information to fit a highly personal profile, such that they can see only that information they wish to see in the world. In addition, she speaks about the convergence and polarization of ideas and the groups which espouse them, on the internet to the extent that she uses the term "balkanization" for some online communities such as race hate groups or political sites. When people of a like mind do get together on a newsgroup, bulletin board, website, or chat room, it is found that members tend to further gravitate to those who have strong, defined opinions on topics of interest and concern for those individuals. If that is the case, if one believes that women's speech is quantitatively different from men's speech and that women may find more community by remaining in the online company of women, then it may be the case that women and men may divide their online participation among more gendered lines. Also, the way that strong opinions, criticism, and conflict are handled online may have a direct relationship to whether or not women will espouse new ideas or new online venues outside of their known social spheres.

Introduction to Computer Science I
Computer Science 50: Introduction to Computer Science I is a first course in computer science at Harvard College for concentrators and non-concentrators alike. More than just teach you how to program, this course teaches you how to think more methodically and how to solve problems more effectively. As such, its lessons are applicable well beyond the boundaries of computer science itself. That the course does teach you how to program, though, is perhaps its most empowering return.

Though it brings us many benefits, the march of technology makes an encompassing surveillance network seem almost inevitable, and radically changes our expectations of privacy. We owe many of the expectations of privacy we used to enjoy to a combination of immature technology and insufficient manpower to monitor us. But these protective inefficiencies are giving way to technologies of data processing and digital surveillance that will change our beliefs about privacy. We are widely tracked by pu
Freedom of Expression on the Internet
The Internet offers extraordinary opportunities for "speakers," broadly defined. Political candidates, cultural critics, corporate gadflies -- anyone who wants to express an opinion about anything -- can make their thoughts available to a world-wide audience far more easily than has ever been possible before. A large and growing group of Internet participants have seized that opportunity. Some observers find the resultant outpouring of speech exhilarating. They see in it nothing less than the re
Access to the Internet
Using the Internet depends, in the first instance, on access to the network. The initial emergence of "the Internet" in the early 1990s, from the increasing connectivity of a series of university and government networks alongside private services like America Online, Prodigy, and CompuServe, occurred almost entirely across slow dial-up modem connections over telephone wires. Sufficient for email, Usenet news groups, transferring relatively small files, and later viewing simple web pages, slow tr
The Law of the Internet
The Internet is at once a constructive and disruptive technology. As more and more of our lives move online, we are faced with opportunities to do new and amazing things. Concurrently, we encounter problems that no one anticipated as we collectively built the internet as we know it today. This seminar will consider some of the most intriguing of the issues to which the advent of the internet has given and continues to give rise. It will focus on a cluster of topics about which any computer user

Elementary GLOBE: We're All Connected
A learning activity for the "All About Earth: Our World on Stage" book in the Elementary GLOBE series. One of the "big ideas" in Earth system science is the notion of interaction among parts of the Earth system. In the Elementary GLOBE book All About Earth: Our World on Stage, the children in Ms. Patel's class discuss instances of how the four major spheres of Earth's system interact. They symbolize these interactions by using large arrows to link the system components: air, water, soil, living

We will examine how conditions in the economy, labor market, households, and culture of a society can influence the well-being a
Vectors: Grade 10
Grade 10: Vectors. Are vectors physics? No, vectors themselves are not physics. Physics is just a description of the world around us. To describe something we need to use a language. The most common language used to describe physics is mathematics. Vectors form a very important part of the mathematical description of physics, so much so that it is absolutely essential to master the use of vectors.

The site is organized in four parts: the atmosphere, hydrosphere (oceans and water), cryosphere (snow and ice), and biosphere (living organisms).
What is Inquiry?
Good science education requires both learning scientific concepts and developing scientific thinking skills. Inquiry is an approach to learning that involves a process of exploring the natural or material world, and that leads to asking questions, making discoveries, and testing those discoveries in the search for new understanding. Inquiry, as it relates to science education, should mirror as closely as possible the enterprise of doing real science.
Definitions of Copyright: What Do They Know?
In this lesson, students will begin to explore the often-perplexing world of copyrights by defining the essential elements of U.S. copyright law. Beginning with the Copy Quiz game and a free-form class discussion, students will tease out collective and individual ideas about the rights of creators and users. Then students will be asked to reflect on their experiences making and using creative works online and write down the questions that they want answered by the end of the unit.

Larry Anderson and his fine concrete tarpon |
Larry said he created the six-foot tarpon by making a styrofoam mold and spraying concrete over it. He then made a hole in the tarpon's mouth and put lacquer thinner inside to melt the styrofoam. Once the styrofoam liquified, he placed rebar and poured concrete inside the fish.
The tarpon can now be seen riding a wave in front of Gasparilla Properties. He said he came up with the design concept and created it by working on-and-off for about a month.
While Larry also created the first fiberglass tarpon that was stolen, this was his first attempt at concrete sculpture. He found the experience to be very satisfying.
Larry also did the mural on the wall of Boca Grande Real Estate, just across the street.
Our dream? To have a tarpon on every corner.

Movie Tavern transfixes one's taste buds and imagination by blending all-digital cinema with premium seating and sit-down dining. Moviegoers are encouraged to arrive 45 minutes prior to showtime, so that they can leisurely peruse an extensive menu of chef-inspired American cuisine, from kobe beef sliders to pizza and sandwiches. Nimble and unobtrusive servers slip in during the show to deliver orders, and can be called on for more drinks or dessert with the push of a button. At select locations, guests can opt to sip margaritas or signature cocktails at the bar before heading in to see a show. Audiences get to enjoy first-run films every week, retro cinema every Tuesday and Thursday evening, and breakfast food paired with early morning movies on Saturday and Sunday. While geared toward adults, the family-friendly establishment also serves finger food for kiddies along with film-inspired dishes. Guests can head to the bar or straight to the movie without ordering food, giving them some latitude in shaping their night out.
Additionally, Movie Tavern treats audiences to myriad benefits with their membership program. Anyone can sign up for free online to receive one free movie ticket on the spot and one free ticket every year on their birthday, as well as invites to screenings and other special events.
Nestled in America's Historic Triangle in an area that was first colonized in 1633, The Williamsburg Winery stretches across 320 acres of picturesque farmland known as the Wessex Hundred. The vineyard's first grape-crushing dances took place in 1987, and they've since developed to produce 25 sip-ready varietals along with a lengthy list of vintage library wines ideal for tucking in a cellar or serving to a homesick time traveler from 1993.
In a setting styled to evoke the mood of an 18th-century European winery, tours meander along a pebbled walkway alongside simple stucco structures before ducking inside a quaint wine museum. Inside the tasting room, private wine cellar, or the Gabriel Archer Tavern that overlooks the grounds, oenophiles can swirl, sip, and throw their heads back to gurgle aged libations from a large roster of wines.
Hampton Ballroom, which first opened its floors 20 years ago, houses a team of instructors passionate about helping students become well versed in a wide variety of dances. The expert teachers lead group classes to get feet sashaying to styles such as salsa, foxtrot, rumba, cha-cha, and tango, and also offer one-on-one private lessons. Wall-to-wall mirrors flank the wood-floor studios, allowing participants to keep an eye on their moves and to scope out any vampires in disguise.

HDRO Conference Room
25 July 2009
Time: 12:30- 1:30 p.m.
Measuring poverty as the lack of capabilities and freedoms is intrinsically a difficult endeavor. One empirically feasible approach to the measurement of freedom might be to construct a set of ordered pairs of functionings and agency measures pertaining to each of the basic functionings relevant to the evaluative purpose, where those functionings have also been argued to be basic by virtue of their 1) special importance and 2) socially influenceability.

A five-year-old boy died in a wreck in Williamsburg County just after 7:30 p.m. Sunday. The incident happened on Simms Reach Road at a bridge that crosses the Black River.

A total of five people were inside the van. McKnight says one person was airlifted to the Medical University of South Carolina and another victim was taken to the hospital in Kingstree.

Addressing issues facing an increasingly global practice
By Raquel Webster Last year I volunteered as a coach and interviewer for the Job Interview Skills Program that the Massachusetts Black Lawyers Association and the Federal Bar Association conduct for CARE/RESTART, reentry programs of the Federal District Court of Massachusetts. One of my most vivid memories was working with one of the probationers on his interviewing skills. We worked on one particular question over and over, as I knew that if he gave a potential employer the answer he was giving me, he would never get a job. By the end of our session I thought we had made real progress, but wasn't sure what would happen when he was in a real interview.
A few weeks later, as I impatiently waited in a long line at a local coffee shop for my required morning cup of coffee, I heard someone behind me repeatedly say "I didn't give the same response and I got the job! I didn't give the same response and I got the job!" My first instinct was not to react – just a random person with a new job, right? Wrong. Seconds later I felt a tap on my shoulder and to my surprise, I recognized the newly hired and very excited youth, he was the probationer I coached in my mock interview sessions, and he was talking to me. Needless to say, I was surprised to see him. When I congratulated him on his new job he replied: "You were extremely tough but I stopped given those bad answers you helped me through!" He went on to explain how much his life had changed and how he finally found a job after being told no over and over again. What really stuck with me was how convinced he was that he would not have gotten the job but for our mock interview and coaching sessions.
I never realized how much impact my mock interview questions and coaching would have on him. However, the excitement on his face and in his voice as he told me about his new job was priceless. Knowing that I, as an individual, could make a real impact in one person's life is why I didn't think twice about signing up to work with CARE/RESTART again. As a member of this year's Public Interest Leaders (PILP) class, I'm excited to be assisting CARE/RESTART by developing a series of educational workshops addressing civil legal barriers that might otherwise hinder these probationers reentry to society. I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work on this pilot project with my fellow PILPers. I may not be lucky enough to have another positive encounter with a participant like the one in the coffee shop, but I will be satisfied knowing that I am doing something to help the CARE/RESTART participants make a positive re-entry into society.

The State Capital of Andhra Pradesh is a 400-year-old city with rich cultural heritage. Hyderabad, the land of Nawabs, is the fifth largest city in India with an ancient civilization and culture. A multitude of influences have shaped the character of the city. Its palaces and buildings, houses and tenements, gardens and streets have a history and an architectural individuality of their own, which makes Hyderabad a city of enchantment. The famous Charminar and Golconda Fort are the reminiscent of the heritage the city inherited. Also it is very famous for Pearls besides the historical buildings and museums.

Apart from the usual religious festival of Diwali, Eid, etc., the state of Andhra Pradesh conducts four festivals every year. The Visaka Utsav in January is a celebration of the arts, crafts and cuisine of Visakahapatan district. The Deccan festival in February, is a celebration of Hyderabad's arts, crafts, culture and cuisine. The Rayalaseema Food and Dance Festival in October displays the arts and cuisine of Rasyalaseema area of Tirupati in Chitoor district. The Lumbini festival in December celebrates the Buddhist Heritage of Andhra Pradesh.

Every Four Years: Qualifications for the Office of President and Electing the President
Students will examine aspects of Article II of the Constitution for specific information related to the requirements for and method of electing the president.
Materials (attached)
KWL Chart (PDF)
The United States Constitution: Article II; Section 1 (excerpts) (PDF)
The Presidency: Unofficial Requirements (PDF)
Essential Question
Should the qualifications to become president be changed?
Teacher says: "The year: 1787; the place: Philadelphia; the participants: fifty-five delegates from thirteen states; the purpose: to create a document that would eliminate the weaknesses of the government under the Articles of Confederation. Remember, eleven years before, these men had declared independence from England and the monarchy (rule by a king or queen). They did not want a new government in which one person could become too powerful. Their solution was to set up a government with three branches: the executive, the legislative and the judicial. To head the executive branch, the role of president was created."
Learning Objectives
- Students will identify the Constitutional requirements to serve as president.
- Students will describe the unwritten qualifications for president.
- Students will evaluate both the written and unwritten qualifications and to develop a list of qualifications they consider essential.
Tell your students that you are going to describe an important national event that takes place every four years and have them guess what that event might be. Once they guess that it is the election of the president, ask them: "If you were going to create an ad for the job of president, what qualifications would you list in your advertisement?"
- Have the students fill out the KWL (Know, Want to Know, Learn) chart. In the first column have students list the things they know about presidential elections. Give them a few minutes to fill this out. In the second column have students list things that they would like to know about presidential elections. Leave the third column blank until the end of the unit. (At that time have students list what they have learned.) On a flipchart make a list of all the things your students know about presidential elections and post it. Do the same thing with the things they would like to learn.
- Divide the class into mixed-ability groups.
- Assign a recorder for each group and give the recorders markers and a large flip chart to record responses.
- Review with the class the rules for brainstorming and group work. (For example, the recorder must write down all responses and cannot edit; all members should take part in the discussion.)
- Have each group read Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 of the Constitution on who may become president.
- Have each group complete a chart that lists the constitutional requirements in Column 1 and create their own set of requirements in Column 2.
- Continuing to work in groups, have the class examine the handout titled "The Presidency: Unofficial Requirements." They can also examine the biographies of American presidents at the University of Virginia American President Reference Resource. Students will determine which of these requirements, if any, should be included in their list of qualifications.
- Each group will prioritize its top three qualifications. All members of the group must agree on the final ranking.
- Before each recorder begins, provide all students with paper so that they may chose to write down any ideas that they think may be important to the discussion. Have each recorder explain the group's choices to the whole class and the reasons for them. Then post the results on the walls.
- After all groups have reported, hold a class discussion to determine which qualifications should be included in the Constitution and their rank order.
Summary Questions
If you were amending the Constitution of the United States, which requirements for the presidency would you keep? Which would you remove? Which would you add?
Application Questions
Based on your understanding of the written and unwritten qualifications for the presidency, would you agree or disagree with the statement: "Any child may grow up to be president of the United States." Explain and support your answer.

If you're planning a trip to Mexico in the dead of winter, you should hit up a tanning salon to put down a "base" so that you can lounge on the beach while on vacation without getting a sunburn–at least, that was the logic once used to use to justify exposing ourselves to harmful UV rays in indoor tanning beds. Now we know better, right? Wrong, according to a new study that says 80% of tanning salons in Missouri spout this exact myth to their customers.

The Basics of Surgery
What Are the Surgical Options?
There are several types of restrictive and combined operations. Each form of weight loss surgery has its own benefits and risks.
Restrictive Operations
Purely restrictive operations only limit food intake and do not interfere with the normal digestive process. To perform the operation, doctors create a small pouch at the top of the stomach where food enters from the esophagus. At first, the pouch holds about 1 ounce of food and later may stretch to 2-3 ounces. The lower outlet of the pouch is usually about inch in diameter or smaller. This small outlet delays the emptying of food from the pouch into the larger part of the stomach and causes a feeling of fullness.
After the operation, patients can no longer eat large amounts of food at one time. Most patients can eat about to 1 cup of food without discomfort or nausea, but the food has to be soft, moist, and well chewed. Patients who undergo restrictive procedures generally are not able to eat as much as those who have combined operations.
Purely restrictive operations for obesity include adjustable gastric banding (AGB) and vertical banded gastroplasty (VBG).

The Secrets Of Making Music
Making music is much more than writing a song. It might seem obvious but it is worth stressing there are many links in the chain between having an initial idea for a song and having a popular chart hit.
Bands and music artists are now being advised to pursue a music career as independent artists. No longer is getting signed to a major record label the recommended action. With so many tools available via a computer bands already have most components of a small label at their finger tips. The internet has played a large part in levelling the playing field.
The modern songwriter or musician has to be the master of so many skills in order to be successful. Songwriting, recording, music production, music publishing, band management, distribution, music law, music marketing and music promotion, performance to name a few. That's a lot of know-how.
Do you want to improve your songwriting skills?
Do you want to turn your song into a hit?
You need experienced people you can talk to. Experienced songwriters and musicians, producers, band managers, label owners, music marketers, all sharing their experience with you.

You can put conference talk titles in all caps, did you know that? I really wish I'd been told this earlier.
If you can't make it out, I'm told the talk will be put online later, and I may well be posting to Twitter about it while it happens.

PATRICK MEANEY: After completing Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods and Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts, I was actually looking to take a little break from doing documentaries on comic book creators. But, I had a few stories I wanted to tell still, one of which was a doc on Chris Claremont, who developed X-Men into the massively successful property it is now.
But, I wasn't sure if that doc would fit in with the same theatrical scale and feature length of the two previous docs, so I came up with the idea of the Comics in Focus series, shorter docs that focused more closely on topics that would be of interest to comics fans. After mentioning the idea for this series, Ales Kot, a comic book writer with several projects coming out from Image later this year, suggested doing the history of Image as the next Comics in Focus doc.
I thought about it and realized that was a pretty perfect story. Rob Liefeld called it "The Social Network of comics," I think that's kind of accurate, it's about a bunch of young people bucking authority and creating something new. There's a lot of great personalities involved, and it's close enough in the past that everyone still remembers everything, but long enough ago that people are going to be honest about what happened.
From there, I contacted Eric Stephenson, the publisher of Image, and pitched the idea. The twentieth anniversary, and the recent resurgence of Image as a publisher, made it a great time to do the doc.
WL: Tell us about yourself – your story, your training, and your accomplishments.
PM: I started filmmaking when I was a kid, it was always what I wanted to do, and as I got older, I kept making stuff with my friends, including Jordan Rennert, who's now my producing partner and the DP on all the documentaries. I went to college at Wesleyan, which has a great film program that produced people like Michael Bay, Joss Whedon and many more.
After graduating from Wesleyan, I went to work for a while at a post house in New York, while working on a webseries called The Third Age with Jordan. The Third Age is a psychedelic drama, which you can check out now at www.thethirdagebegins.com. The series was a great learning experience, and after I got laid off from my job, Jordan and I decided to form a production company and do more of our own projects, as well as for hire work.
At the same time, I was working on turning a series of blog posts about Grant Morrison's comic book series, The Invisibles, into a book with a publisher of books about comics, Sequart. They had a contact with Grant, and we were planning to interview him for the book. I jumped to the idea of doing a documentary, and we wrote up a pitch, which we sent to Grant's wife, who gave us the go ahead, and next thing I knew, I was out in California filming with Grant.
The Morrison doc was going well, and we were looking at other projects in comics that might be interesting, and jumped to Warren Ellis, and that became the next documentary we tackled. That one's just coming out on DVD now.
WL: Why center your documentary on Image comics?
PM: As I mentioned earlier, it's a great story. Seven young rebels taking on the establishment is pretty wild, and unprecedented in comics. Plus, these guys are all big personalities, and just watching them all on a panel at Image Expo, you could see that these are some visionary, and intense guys.
Beyond that, I think what Image represents is important in comics and outside. Image is a model for creator controlled content, and it's remarkable that they've been able to succeed, and thrive for twenty years without being at all restrictive on their creators. It's a story that comes out of years of mistreatment in comics, to people like Jack Kirby, and I think Image was a real turning point in the industry, and one I'm excited to explore in more depth.
WL: Will you be contacting any Image creators for this film?
PM: Yup, we're going to try to interview all the relevant players from the formation years, and also talk to the next generation. I was shooting at Image Expo a couple of weeks ago, and we've already interviewed twelve people for the film. In the next couple of months, I'll be going around and shooting with all the founders, and some other more contemporary creators.
I'm pretty sure we'll be able to get all seven founders, which I'm really excited about. Comics doesn't always do the best job of recording its history, so I like to do these docs and make sure that these stories are preserved in peoples' own words.
WL: What do you hope to accomplish with this documentary?
PM: The major thing is just tell an entertaining story, and hopefully do justice to what the creation of Image meant for comics. I'm definitely wary of not making it a PR piece for Image, and showing all different sides of the story. One of the big things in all these documentaries is I just want to show what happened in the words of the people who were there, and hopefully the interviews will capture the conflicts, the triumphs and the feeling of what it was like to build this company, and see it grow over the past twenty years.
WL: You're using Kickstarter to help fund the movie. Why go that route?
PM: Kickstarter's a great tool for a film like this because it's the kind of thing that's difficult to find upfront funding for. I don't really have the money to self finance a project, and because this is such a niche film, there's not going to be a huge clamor of investors looking to get involved. But, Kickstarter gives you a direct line to the people who want to see the film and lets them ensure that the film gets made.
Media's changing, and because of online piracy and legitimate streaming surfaces like Netflix and Hulu, you can find most content online for very little money. As the 'value' of a movie changes, revenue streams have to change to accompany that. So, Kickstarter gives you a chance to show your support for a project that wouldn't otherwise exist, and is a great counter to piracy. I think we'll see the Kickstarter model becoming more prevalent over the next few years.
WL: What other films have you worked on?
PM: As I mentioned, my two biggest projects have been Grant Morrison: Talking With Gods and Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts. Those are the only two features I've directed, the other big project has been the webseries The Third Age. I've worked on a wide variety of music videos, commercials, and other smaller projects which you can get more info on at my company's site www.respectfilms.com.
WL: What is the most gratifying part of film making?
PM: That's an interesting question, and one I was actually discussing the other day. There's a lot of annoying things you go through making a film, and it's not a situation where you go through all this hassle and then get a great relief from the finished film. It's nice to see a movie with an audience and see people laugh or react in a strong way, but I think ultimately it's just about the process of refining for me, those moments when you feel like, I got this right, this part of the story is there.
In the docs, editing is so integral, it's pretty amazing to work through hours and hours of footage, and one day realize, you have a film here, to see all those disparate voices coalesce into something whole, and then you work on each chunk of the film until everything feels right. That's pretty great.
WL: How did you get interested in comics?
PM: I had always liked superheroes, but never read that many comics as a kid. After seeing the X-Men movie in 2000, I got the first few Essential X-Men volumes, which had Chris Claremont's classic run on the book, including stories like Dark Phoenix, Days of Future Past, and I loved those. From there, I branched out to stuff like Watchmen, Sandman, Transmetropolitan, and eventually on to Grant Morrison's stuff.
I was in high school at the time, and remember going on the Warren Ellis Forum at lunchtime, and getting more into comics, and going through the last twenty years of great books in a couple of years. I love a lot of DC and Marvel universe stuff now, but getting into comics, I was actually more on the creator owned Vertigo side.
I think what really drew me to comics was that the best comics were telling stories I wasn't seeing in other media, longform, complex and imaginative stories. At that time, TV was just starting its new 'Golden Age,' so you could only get those stories in comics.
WL: What comics would you recommend to our readers?
PM: I've been reading a bunch of Image books to get ready for the doc, and I'd highly recommend 'Morning Glories,' which focuses on a group of new students trying to survive at a very mysterious and deadly prep school. It definitely gives you that Lost vibe of really exciting mysteries, only these actually pay off!
Going back to classics, I'd definitely recommend picking up Grant Morrison's Flex Mentallo when it's out in trade later this year. It's one of the greatest superhero stories of all time, and the most personal story Grant's ever written.
WL: Do you have any other projects in the works?
PM: I'm working now on a short film starring actress/comic book writer Brea Grant called The Viral Man. That will be filming later this month, and we're hoping to premiere at a late summer or early Fall festival. It's a big sci-fi post apocalyptic story, done on a small budget. But, hopefully it'll be satisfying.
There's also the Comics in Focus doc on Chris Claremont, which will be out sometime this summer. That project links quite nicely to the Image doc, and deals with some of the same issues of creator control and rights management.
I'm also developing a few scripts, including a feature version of my webseries The Third Age, which we're going to be shopping to investors later this year.
And, Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts will be out on DVD in April, so keep an eye out for that.
WL: Any advice for aspiring filmmakers?
PM: My biggest piece of advice would be just get out there and make stuff. With today's technology, you can make a great looking film for not very much money, but I think even more important than worrying about making something perfect in the early going is just making a lot of content. I worked on a wide variety of projects in college, and learned a lot of tricks for what worked and didn't along the way. Just like you wouldn't expect to go in and record an amazing piece of music the first time you pick up an instrument, it takes a while to figure out how to create a coherent film.
I cringe a bit looking back at some early stuff I did, but it's all been a learning process, and I hope that each project has gotten better. And, particularly early on, take any opportunity you have to get experience and meet people. I took a job on Craigslist editing a small feature for no money, the film never really went anywhere, but I met a client who wound up getting me the gigs that allowed me to buy all my equipment and start my company.
So, when you're in the early going, do whatever you can, meet as many people as you can and get involved all over the place.
WL: Where can we find you online?
PM: I'm on Twitter at @patrickmeaney, that's a good way to stay updated. You can also find more info at my production company website www.respectfilms.com.
FINAL FOUR (asked of all PaperDragonInk guests)
WL: When Zombies take over the world, where will you be?
PM: I'd try to get to an island that's free of zombies, and spend my days out on the beach. I've never really seen zombies attack on a beach, and I imagine they couldn't operate boats, so hopefully I'd be safe there.
WL: Pick one: Jedi, Ninja, Vampire, Werewolf, Pirate, Fairy or Spartan?
PM: I'd say Jedi, since you'd have the best supernatural powers. Vampire would be tempting, since you could live forever, but I really like being outside in the daytime, so that's a no go. If I was one of those new style vampire who could go out in the sun, I'd go vamp.
WL: What one piece of art, be it music, book, film or picture, do you think people must experience before they die?
PM: The work that's had the biggest impact on me, and what I would ultimately recommend to people is The Invisibles. It's not for everyone, but the people it connects with are irrevocably altered. Reading The Invisibles made me realize that works of fiction make an impact on reality, and therefore are just as 'real' as anything in the world. Without The Invisibles, I definitely wouldn't be making the films I am now, and I've never felt as connected and immersed in any work as I did in that series. Hence, writing a 300 page book about it and doing a documentary on its creator.
WL: Give one fact that most people would not believe about you?
PM: My producing partner on all the docs and in Respect Films Jordan Rennert and I met in Kindergarten and have been friends ever since! I didn't imagine we'd one day run a company, but strangely enough it's just worked out. And, we both went to school from elementary to high school with Janna O'Shea, aka @dreamyeyed, a big social media personality in comics who works at Marvel now. So, out of a graduating class of 70, three of us wound up working in comics.
Please consider supporting Patrick and his project, Comics in Focus: The Image Revolution at Kickstarter!

Still waiting to hear from pResident Revenge on this.He´s got Clinton and Panetta out mealy-mouthing it, and we all know where those two are headed.And why is Panetta involved at all in the first place?
"They threatened him until he called out in English to his friends, telling them, `Come out, come out. They´re not going to kill you. They´re looking for the Americans,´" Chabane said.How many were Americans?How many non-combat Americans abroad have been killed by terrorists during this administration?
And now the blind sheik needs to have an accident.
FTA -- The accounts of hostages who escaped the complex highlight the cavalier attitude toward their lives taken by both kidnappers and the military.The military attitude is not cavalier. They are trying to save lives. Killing terrorists is the best way to free hostages and prevent future attacks. Algeria does not negotiate with terrorists and they back it up with action.
Re 2You left out the most important part.After the Brit said, they were ONLY looking for the Americans- they blew him away.There is no appeasing these savages.
Here again we see the consequences of Obama´s and Hillary´s "leading from behind" policy.Obama/Hillary/Panetta don´t believe the US should take any leading role --even when our own citizens are in danger.Ergo, instead of sending in our own special forces, the Obama administration weakly let the Algerians handle it ... to disastrous effect.Does anybody really believe that Obama or the Brits were "surprised" by the allegedly preemtive Algerian action? If so, I have a nice bridge to sell you...

Even as talks are on to make tea as India's national drink, the humble 'chai' has come a long way
There have been talks to make tea as India's National Drink. Tea for years holds a special place in Indian households. The history of tea is rather exciting. In 3000
B C, it was used in China as a medicinal tonic. By the 6th century, tea became popular in China. Tea came to Japan in the 11th century. Considered a ritual, tea drinking is an elaborate affair.

Court orders Dish to pay $103 million to TiVo
A federal court has awarded TiVo $103 million plus interest in its long-running patent dispute with EchoStar Communications and ordered EchoStar to disable infringing features found on its subscribers' digital video recorders.
U.S. District Judge David Folsom on Tuesday also found EchoStar, which is now part of Dish Network, in contempt of court for violating a permanent injunction by reprogramming millions of DVRs with a new "workaround."

Ok, my update. Have you ever heard the adage "doctors make the worst patients?" well, it's true.
I had my first OB visit today, and dutifully reported my LMP as 3/26/13. Which is true, and this would make me 6&2 today. Well, we fired up the TVUS and lo and behold the tadpole I was expecting did not materialize. Instead I saw an unmistakeable early fetus. (Just one of them, thankfully!! so the twin names will not come into play). Anyway, I'm now dated 10 weeks with an EDD of 12/7/13.
I asked how this could be and the OB replied that many women ovulate and menstruate the first month in pregnancy. I kind of understand this, since the B-HCG levels wouldn't be that high to negatively feed back into the gonadotropin axis, but still find it amazing that the conceptus can survive a menstrual period.
It's so strange to fast-forward the clock 3.5 wks like this. I have to schedule my quad screen soon and find out the gender in 6 weeks! So fast!XY: Antoine Raphael (3.1.2012)

Wow Blade, that's amazing. The purpose of period is to expel the uterine lining, and yet, yours hung in there. It sounds like the beginning of a very strong willed little person.
