May 21st, 2008: Thanks to everyone who emailed me about yesterday's comic, wondering if I'd read The Dark Knight Returns (I have: it's great! Highly recommended) or its sequel (not so much) or Kingdom Come (yay!) or seen Batman Beyond (it certainly had its moments!).
What I was going for with T-Rex in the comic was that these are all out-of-continuity stories (or at the most generous, out-of-chronological orders stories in continuity, though I don't know how you could reconcile all four). It's certainly possible to tell good "Batman's old and this is his last mission" stories, but it's not possible to tell a "Batman's old and this is his last mission" and for it to be actually BE his last mission. There's always going to be a new Batman comic next month, and eventually he's going to be in his prime again. And since readers have a choice of "Batman's last mission" stories to choose from, there isn't a solid ending for the character: you can decide how you want to tell the story.
That's actually one of the things I like best about storytelling with Batman: when you're doing a one-shot, you get to decide what Batman you want: is he just starting out? Older? Is he all serious about being Batman, or maybe not so much? Does he have a Robin? Which one? Does the Joker show up all the time or not at all? You can answer these questions however you want, and the audience will still buy that it's Batman: it may not mesh up with the Batman they have in their head, but they'll still buy it because they've seen all these different versions. I think it's neat that the character is so mutable!
And tangentally, Robin actually gets closest to what T-Rex was talking about with soaps, wherein there's been several different people called Robin, all acting the same role but in different ways. It's not quite the same thing, but it does allow characters arcs to progress, if never conclude.
So anyway, comics: what's the deal there, am I right To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES. Orders placed before these dates will get to you in time for Christmas! – Ryan
December 5th: All shipping methods except U.S.P.S. First-Class Package International Service� are safe.
December 6th: International orders made not selecting U.S.P.S. Priority Mail Express International� shipping will likely arrive in January.
December 11th: USPS FIRST CLASS and STANDARD may not make it in time and neither will USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.
December 16th: ALMOST NOTHING IS SAFE. USPS EXPRESS is the only safe USPS option.
December 19th: A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (IF THINGS PLACED ON OR AFTER THIS DATE ARRIVE BY THE 24TH, THAT IS)

Product Description
This clock was inspired by the vintage rooster drawing. The cream and black accents on the clock face set off the line drawing beautifully. The top says, "The King of the Chicken Yard".
This clock is handmade in America and was designed by Noelle Ray for the J. Tyler & Co. clock collection. Each clock is made individually with great care as the order is received. The face is laminated onto a 1/2 inch thick MDF wood composite. Most commercial clocks are made on 1/8 inch wood or 1/4 inch wood. You will appreciate the heavy feel of these clocks.
This is a beautiful open-faced clock (meaning no glass). This clock runs on a quartz movement using one AA battery, not included. Hands vary depending on availability and size ordered. (The mechanism has a three year warranty–we replace the mechanism and not the entire clock)
Clock weights: 12 inch = 2 lbs, 18 inch = 4 lbs., 24 inch = 6 lbs., 30 inch = 9, 36 inch = 15 lbs., 48 inch = 30 lbs. Made in the USA. (The inches are the Diameter of the clock)
Please give us about a week to make your clock (the larger ones take two weeks). (Hands sometimes vary depending on the size you order and availability).

The girls' conversation was also a good lesson in turn taking, which, as every second language learner knows, is difficult to pick up when you're immersed in the culture of your new language. "Panty Chat" taught me that, apparently, the Brazilian way to maintain your turn in the conversation and to keep people from interrupting you is to reach your arm out and SNAP AT THEM if they utter a sound so that they shut up and you can finish your story about how your friend wanted to get with your ex-boyfriend and you thought it just wasn't cool at all.

I agree with you. I think unfortunately, these woman are facing some serious issues with self oppression. Sadly, they seemed to have fooled themselves into thinking they are empowered. I usually stay away from commenting on shows or articles I haven't read or seen.... but there is this subculture of women in Brazil.
Empowerment first comes from awareness of a problem.... but a really complex understanding of it. I am sure most girls learn real quick about the social standing of females in society. For me, it was when I was told that I couldn't be in major league baseball player at 6 and didn't quite understand. The awareness needs to go a little further than that- gender is anything but simple.
The male gaze. Many feminist theorists refer to the work of Foucault's panoptic view. The theory was first seen in prison systems, the guards have a 180˚ view of prisoners. Causing changed behavior in the prisoners, because the people thought they were being watched 24/7. Now, social scientists use this in many areas.
I think in Brazil the male gaze is on steroids. Also, the land of hyper- masculinity and femininity. So definitely Foucault's panoptic view could enlighten the behavior of these women, who are confused. I think people make assumptions about feminism or make their own definition from mainstream media. But usually the information in the mainstream is all twisted.
Mostly, I feel sorry for them. How could they be happy? I feel sad just watching them. I feel sad for the men here too (ok, almost everyone--everywhere makes me sad). People think they have escaped oppression and are in control.Danielle,
I could stomack only part of that "sluts" fest on the Globo channel. You are right, they only talk about men, they are the typical slutty bimbo with an empty head.
If you ask them anything about politics or civil rights they would probably have a blank stare on their faces...
There was a popular show on REDE GLOBO during the 80's called TV MULHER, it was very progressive and inteligent, they talked about civil rights, sex, fashion, politics, there were no sluts talking about how to get a man. I remember even hearing discussion about GAY rights, that was almost unheard of at the time...
One of the ladies who spoke on TV MULHER was Martha Suplicy, she was the Psychologist sex expert, a very popular segment.
She is a Senator today and she is one of the biggest fighters of the Brazilian gay rights movement ( she is straight by the way ).
Martha Suplicy introduced the same sex marriage law in the Brazilian Congress for the first time in 1996, it hasn't even gone to a vote up to this day...it is still an uphill battle.
Back in the day she talked about sex, not like the sluts on the "Calcinhas" panty talk show, but she answered questions from callers like "Can I have sex with my husband during pregnacy"? "My husband cheated on me with his best friend, Is he GAY? type of questions...
Marilia Gabriela was also on the show and she is still on TV today. The show had many different segments and it was very popular. I never understood why they went off the air.
I think the Ana Braga Show, the super blond woman with the silly stupid parrott is TV MULHER's replacement in the same time slot.
I think watching ( or avoiding ) Brazilian TV will be one of our biggest challenges when going back home :(
RayNot surprising among these dondocas on tv. Sad, but true. Like Jana, I am glad I don't understand that level of Portuguese, either. Shows in the US are not any better ie:Bad Girls Club, etc. Dumbing down worldwide. These women are not feminists, in my opinion. What is so empowering? I could go on.
ReplyDeleteHahha, I just found a Spanish show to help me practice. I like it because it's 30 minutes and it's a complete show (ie. not a soap or sitcom). It's called Decisiones, which silly me, thought might be about life's tough choices. After all, it's shown at 6 p.m. dinner time. So a nice wholesome family show, right? of course not! lol.
The first episode I watched dealt with a woman who tries to get her cheating husband back by having a 3-some with him and the woman he's cheating with. WTF?!
At least I'm learning some new vocab though! hehehheHoly Crap! That is depressing! Facebookear?? I never heard people saying that.
Although people from different social classes have access to cable tv, many of Multishow and GNT shows depict the lives and perspectives of people from upper middle-class, especially Rio and SP. I am not saying that everybody from this social class agrees with this show or have the same opinions, but many do.
What gets to me is how this is sold as cool and progressive while if it had the same kind of girls (slutty girls), but from a lower class, like the favelas. It would labeled as vulgar and ghetto. Just hypocritical to me.Interesting post, Danielle.
Yeah, you don't want to understand it, it's a bit crap. These women encompass what is being called the Female Chauvanist Pig.
And sad, it is. There is a show on Globo which is kinda similar to Panty Chat, it's called Amor e Sexo.
(you have to be a Globo subscriber to see the first video only, the rest you can watch, I think)

Great Falls police are investigating the possible poisoning death of three dogs.
Officials say they responded to a call in the 1800 block of 5th Avenue North on Wednesday morning, and when they arrived, they found two dead dogs in the back yard of one of the homes.
Later in the afternoon, they were called back once again for another dog laying in the neighbor's yard.
While the appearance of the animals and their surroundings did not seem suspicious, they are looking into claims that the pets may have been poisoned.
We spoke to neighbors who say they believe the dogs may have eaten contaminated sausage; one resident says he had heard a man with a dislike of the dogs bragging about it beforehand.
But officers say it will take time before they know what caused the deaths.
Sgt. Bryan Slavik of the Great Falls Police Department said, "In this particular case the animals are being placed in veterinary care, an autopsy for an animal is being taken care of, so when we get those results we'll know a little bit more about hopefully what killed them."
Neighbors who found one of the dogs in their backyard say they do not know who it belonged to.

Are paying to advertise on web sites that let users illegally download pirated copies of movies and music.
This according to a study by USC's Annenberg innovation lap and its director Jonathan Kaplan joins me now from Los Angeles.
Thanks for being with us Jonathan so do you really feel like one big brands AT&T and -- Toyota Samsung do you really feel like they're kind of complicit accomplices.
In funding digital illegal piracy.
I think -- -- they are they don't really know that well how the error.
Ads are being put on these pirate sites but I think once they begin to think about it and control how their ad agencies in the ad networks.
Disperse their ads I think this will change I mean we've we've found quite obviously -- certain brands like Ford and Coke are never on these sites.
But a lot of other brands like major.
Car brands them.
Insurance brands are all over the side.
Now it turns out the ad networks -- place ads for all these brands -- running some of that some of them brands that are frequently appearing on these digital pirate sites now.
And it turned out the ad networks are able to block the brands from running on porn sites they do it quite capable -- why is it that they aren't as good -- blocking.
Brand ads from running on pirate sites because it just don't care enough about piracy.
Well I think it's money.
I think there's a lot of money to be made in placing ads on pirate sites there over a 150000.
Pirates -- On the Google transparency report.
So there's a lot of money in it and some firms like -- -- and open next have.
Have its quit the market and stop pushing out some of these pirate sites but a lot of other firms like Yahoo!.
And propel -- ads are continuing to -- service this trip.
You know -- asked Yahoo! for comment on that I got back -- A statement saying that we take all appropriate steps and we have these user terms of say in when using our ad network have to follow them and we take it died down one -- told.
But you feel like Yahoo! hasn't done nearly as much as Google asked to respond this problem is that right.
That's true.
They are on almost every big more.
BitTorrent site are Yahoo! right media ads and we've watched our Google in the last three months radically.
Block these sites so it's not necessarily.
The request of the advertiser to take it down it's really.
On the part of the ad network themselves to block access to these sites.
Right now you're -- actually gets most of its operating budget -- few million dollars a year I think it has.
From company donors people like Microsoft I think Google has actually helped have you gotten any push back from companies that want to fund you are might find your do.
They don't like you kind of call and -- -- saying that they're kind of accomplices to piracy.
Well first place -- Google is never.
Given us any money Microsoft cows and but other big tech companies like IBM and Intel and Cisco have help on the -- We have not and quite honestly we did.
Name one of the companies that funds are.
Lab Verizon in this report so we're not trying to protect anybody.
Right well you manage music acts in the -- and you actually produce the Scorsese movie mean streets and you you.
Do you feel like this piracy problem could do to Hollywood and movies and TV shows what.
What piracy did the music is it that bat.
Just imagine that the speed -- broadband it's increasing if you you look in certain.
-- areas that we work him such as Chattanooga.
Where EPB has saved one Gigabit per second fibre optic link.
The time to download a movie over that link is about.
Seventy seconds while download HD movie so.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Can can get almost anything we want and the -- -- one way of putting it cutting off by going to the source we got to -- now thank you for being with us today Jonathan -- of USC Annenberg lab.

Need gas in the UK? Make sure your car insurance is paid up
Drivers in the United Kingdom will have another thing to worry about every time they pull up to the pump. In addition to wondering if they'll have enough money in the bank to pay for the exorbitant price of fuel, they may need to check if they paid their car insurance premium on time.
In an effort to crack down on auto insurance scofflaws, the British government wants to team up with gas stations to identify drivers who haven't paid their premiums, and prevent them from filling up. The proposed plan will use automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) … Read more

This K-12 IEFA grant is open to any Montana public school district or a consortium of districts. Preference will be given to schools which have not had a previous IEFA grant.
Grant awards are available in a range of approximately $1,000 up to $15,000 depending on the scope of the proposal. There will be a limited number of grants awarded. Notification of grant awards will be sent by October 30, 2013.
The proposed project must be completed by June 15, 2014. Proposed activities should reflect this timeline.
All application materials are due September 30, 2013.

Former ASCAP President Morton Gould would have turned 100 on December 10th, 2013. Read through the highlights of this Pulitzer Prize-winning composer's incredible career, and listen to some of his greatest works on our Spotify playlist.
With back-to-back workshop guest appearances by Artistic Director and Conductor of Alarm Will Sound Alan Pierson and Professor of Conducting and Chair of the Conducting and Ensembles Department at the University of Rochester's Eastman School of Music Mark Scatterday, the New York Youth Symphony Composition Program is now fully in session in the ASCAP Board Room.
Commissioned by ASCAP for its upcoming 100th birthday, the short film provides an intimate look into the hearts, minds and musical gifts of 15 of today's top songwriters and composers, and features an unprecedented collaborative musical score.
Breuer and Schleifer have collaborated on a new musical work billed as a Bunraku Puppet Pop-Opera, and which The New York Times has described as "A comic spectacle… an acid trip collage of philosophy, mythology and lyric poetry."
Composer-guitarist Bryce Dessner is best known for his work with The National, as well as being a founding member of Clogs and creator-curator of Cincinnati's acclaimed MusicNOW festival. In Aheym, the renowned Kronos Quartet plays four pieces composed by Dessner. Listen to Dessner discuss Aheym in this ASCAP Audio Portrait.
A pair of concerts featuring world premieres took place this November that attracted both contemporary music and early music devotees. They were hosted at the DiMenna Center for Classical Music in Manhattan and at Waltz-Astoria.
As part of Symphony Space's, In the Salon Series, a special evening devoted to chamber music of Krzysztof Penderecki was lent added distinction by the presence of Poland's legendary composer at the sold-out concert. The entire concert is available to stream on the WQXR website.
Copland House and the Jacob Burns Film Center joined forces in Pleasantville, NY with a festival highlighting films scored by Aaron Copland, capped off by a final day concert of Copland chamber works at Copland House's Merestead Estate in Mt. Kisco, NY.
Under the rubric AOP25: Celebrating Composers & the Voice, The Phoenix Concerts recently joined forces with American Opera Projects to provide an exhilarating display of sparkling, innovative vocal music.
Sponsored by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the residency is a professional development program that "fosters tomorrow's American operatic masterpieces through personalized creative development and intensive, hands-on composition opportunities."
Copland House has announced that eight gifted American composers from five states and Great Britain have been selected for coveted, all-expenses-paid residencies during the 2013-14 season at Aaron Copland's National Historic Landmark home in New York's lower Hudson Valley. Five of these eight are ASCAP members.
"A social gathering with literary or artistic overtones," is one of the many short dictionary definitions of the Spanish-rooted term tertúlia. Tertulia also happens to be a fitting name for a recently formed chamber music series enlivening the New York chamber music scene.
Hans Zimmer was a big winner at the 2013 Classic BRIT Awards, held October 2nd at the Royal Albert Hall in London. The superstar ASCAP composer earned two trophies at the ceremony: Composer of the Year (on the basis of his scores for The Dark Knight Rises and Man of Steel) and the Outstanding Contribution to Music Award.

Firefox 11 to get add-on sync
Following the update to Firefox stable earlier this week, Mozilla released yesterday updates to its Aurora and Beta versions that introduce some pretty hefty changes for Firefox on PCs.
Firefox 11 beta (download for Windows | Mac | Linux) presages some hefty changes for the browser. The biggest one, which wasn't present in the Firefox 11 Aurora release, is add-on sync. You'll now be able to mirror the same add-on installations and settings across multiple desktops. Though Google Chrome has been able to sync add-ons for some time, its implementation has been notably uneven, so it'll be interesting to … Read more

Some of you may have read how nervous making salads at salad bars makes me – it's just so much pressure and there are so many ingredients. I ended up making a cheat sheet that I could take along with me for reference. It lists all the basic types of salad and what's in them. Even just making the list helped, I now have a better idea of which ingredients go together and which ones don't.
My trick is to walk into the cafe thinking about one key ingredient and then build the salad around that, whether it be mozzarella cheese (think caprese salad) or ham (think chef salad). Take a look at the salad I made yesterday with spinach, strawberries, walnuts, blue cheese crumbles, tofu, and raspberry vinagarette dressing. It was pretty awesome.
Think about what a great idea this could be for a party. Just create your own salad bar and have guests go crazy. Doesn't sound like a bad idea for a summer party, huh? You just have to figure out how to not end up with a million random leftovers…
Also, just when I finally thought I was getting the hang of this concept, I realized this concept applies to almost everything in these cafes. Like the pasta. My co-workers thought I was crazy when I asked them if I could take pictures of their pastas, but look how many options they came up with between three of them!
Drew's Pasta
Brian's pasta
Which pasta option looks best to you?

The more rhetoric I hear this election season, the more I'm reminded just how little the government can do to fix the economy in the short term. It can pour money into shovel-ready projects, but those don't seem to be long-term fixes, and they won't right the ship in time for the midterm elections.
A unique wrinkle to this economic recovery has been the stark contrast between unemployment and corporate earnings. The unemployment rate stays stubbornly where it is while corporations report significant profits. Why aren't they hiring? It's because growth prospects are so gradual that there's no need to ramp up the headcount just yet. What company would hire hundreds if it can count on only very gradual economic growth over the next few quarters?
"A jobless rate hovering close to 10 percent is shaking consumer confidence and shackling spending, the biggest part of the economy."
After reading that statement in a Bloomberg article on manufacturing last week, I paused. Why exactly is consumption such a huge part of the American economy? How did we get here?

More than 100,000 children in one day.
What a great way to mark 10 years of helping more than 10 million children through the Amway One by One Campaign for Children.
On November 20 we marked Amway Universal Children's Day, inviting our Amway Business Owners and employees to reach out and help children in their community. They did not disappoint.
During the span of 24 hours, more than 15,000 ABOs and employees from 57 countries volunteered 35,425 hours through 304 projects. Those efforts benefitted more than 100,000 children.
"Amway is a people business, and our people live and work in communities all over the world," said Todd Woodward, vice president for Amway brand, public relations and corporate social responsibility. "For one day we aligned as a global company to make the lives of the children and families in the communities we serve a little better."

Call Me
In Call Me a lonely, frustrated journalist for an alternative newspaper begins receiving intriguing erotic telephone calls, calls which trigger her own fantasies and leads her into danger. Anna (Patricia Charbonneau) is having an affair with Alex (Sam Freed), who travels frequently and has little time for her. She meets an interesting stranger named Jellybean (Stephen McHattie) in a local bar and begins to believe that he might be the source of the erotic calls. As the calls increase in frequency and become more explicitly sexual, Anna finds herself increasingly aroused and interested. Call Me, despite a sometimes contrived plot, is well-directed by Sollace Mitchell who uses her strong cast to explore the outer-limits of sexual desire and obsession. Charbonneau is excellent as Anne, and Patti D'Arbanville as her friend Con gives a refreshing, relaxed and convincing performance. Steve Buscemi, one of the finest contemporary character actors, gives one of his usual satisfying performances as the creepy Switch Blade who menaces Anne. The film's "surprise" ending will surprise only the most unsophisticated viewer, but the film, because of its great cast and excellent direction is a fresh, exciting thriller with an interesting twist. ~ Linda Rasmussen, Rovi

This little-known Robert DeNiro film is set several years after the war in Vietnam. DeNiro plays an unpredictably explosive war veteran, while Ed Harris co-stars as his army buddy, who's trying his best to forget his Vietnamese experiences by crawling into a bottle. While visiting Harris and Harris' sister Kathy Baker, DeNiro frightens both with his neurotic ramblings. Still, Baker is grateful that DeNiro's presence seems to be lifting Harris out of his deep funk. She encourages DeNiro to stay on for a while, thereby setting the stage for a blossoming romance. Baker has no way of knowing that Harris' depression has been brought about by the death of a wartime pal--a death he blames on DeNiro. Violence threatens to erupt at every turn in Jacknife, but the film refuses to play down to its audience by wallowing in the obvious. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

In this psychological thriller, a needy young woman finds fulfillment by trying to literally become her successful roommate. Attractive Manhattanite Allison Jones (Bridget Fonda) has it all: a handsome beau, a rent-controlled apartment, and a promising career as a fashion designer. When boyfriend Sam (Steven Weber) proves unfaithful, Allison strikes out on her own but must use the classifieds to seek out a roommate in order to keep her spacious digs. In steps Hedra Carlson (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who's timid and frumpy but puppy-dog sweet. The self-centered Allison finds Hedra's eager friendship flattering, but soon she grows annoyed as Hedra begins emulating everything about her. After Allison gets back with Sam and asks Hedra to please vacate the premises, the pert beauty really gets to see her weird new roomie's bad side -- Hedra, it seems, is downright homicidal. Directed by Barbet Schroeder, who wowed Hollywood with Barfly and Reversal of Fortune. Single White Female was the second screenplay from future Opposite of Sex director Don Roos. ~ Brian J.

This made-for-cable remake of the cult favorite 1957 film of the same name is updated with an even more feminist slant and has a more thoughtful (and clever) script. Nancy Archer (Darryl Hannah) is a rich but troubled young woman married to a cheating lowlife who only stays with her for her money. She is driving home by herself one night when an alien spaceship lands on the road. She is irradiated by the ship and over the next few days starts to grow taller and taller, until she reaches a height of 50 feet. She uses her newfound height (and power) to take revenge on those who have wronged her -- especially husband Harry (Daniel Baldwin) and the trashy, gold-digging bimbo (Christi Conaway) he has taken up with. ~ Brian Gusse, Rovi

Meanwhile, slimy con-man Red (Dennis Hopper) has Ronnie deceived into thinking that Mercer is a big-time crook with influential connections. Red does this to enlist Ronnie's aid to participate in a third-rate crime spree. When Ronnie and Red begin their two-man crime wave, Jimmy is in relentless pursuit behind them. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

A rousing Disney dog-sled adventure based on a real life event -- a 522-mile dog-sled race between Winnipeg, Canada and St. Paul, Minnesota that occurred in 1917. When his father is accidentally killed, South Dakota farmboy Will Stoneman (Mackenzie Astin) decides to enter the dog-sled race in order to save his family from financial ruin. His mother (Penelope Windust) wants Will to use part of the prospective $10,000 race winnings for college, but Will just wants to save the farm. With the help of Indian handyman Ned Dodd (August Schellenberg), Will begins to train for the race. But the rich mogul underwriting the race, J.P. Harper (David Ogden Stiers), doesn't want Will to enter, thinking the competition too arduous and too dangerous for such a young boy. To Will's aid comes yellow journalist Harry Kingsley (Kevin Spacey), who convinces Harper to permit Will to enter the race. But Harry also has his own agenda -- he sees a great story in Will and thinks it will sell newspapers and advance his journalistic career. With his father's best dog Gus at the head of his dog team, Will is ready and determined to win the race. But Will discovers that winning the race is only half his battle. Dealing with the petty and malevolent human beings involved in the race -- in particular, the egotistical Scandinavian champion Borg Guillarson (George Gerdes) and the wealthy gambler Angus McTeague (Brian Cox) -- prove to be as much of a challenge to his mettle than any natural obstacles Will might encounter. ~ Paul Brenner, Rovi

A woman discovers that a part of her family history may be more complicated -- and more famous -- than she ever imagined in this comedy. Thirtysomething Sarah Huttinger (Jennifer Aniston), who has spent most of her adult life in New York City, is flying home to California with her long time boyfriend, Jeff Daly (Mark Ruffalo), for the wedding of her annoyingly perky younger sister, Annie (Mena Suvari). While Sarah and Jeff have recently announced they're engaged to be married, Sarah has been having second thoughts, and she isn't excited about the prospect of spending time with the family where she's always felt like the odd duck. As Sarah tries to decide what she should do with her personal and professional lives, she turns to her sharp-tongued and still youthful grandmother, Katharine (Shirley MacLaine), for advice, and Katharine shares a little-known bit of family history -- that Sarah's now-deceased mother left her father, Earl (Richard Jenkins), a few days before their wedding and ran off with another man for several days before coming back and marrying Earl. However, after hearing this Sarah is also treated to some long-simmering local gossip about a young man who ran off with a bride-to-be after he was seduced by her mother...and that the story became the basis for the hit movie The Graduate. Sarah begins to wonder, was Katharine the real-life Mrs. Robinson of this story? And if it's true, who was the man who had affairs with Sarah's mother and grandmother? Was it dashing and wealthy family friend Beau Burroughs (Kevin Costner), who has also turned Sarah's head? Rumor Has It... was produced from an original screenplay by Ted Griffin; Griffin was originally set to direct the film, but shortly after production began he was replaced, with Rob Reiner taking over the project. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

WHAT is ITS MISSION:
According to the The United States Government Manual 1997/98, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) "promotes and preserves public confidence in U.S. financial institutions by insuring bank and thrift deposits up to the legal limit of $100,000; by periodically examining state-chartered banks that are not members of the Federal Reserve System for safety and soundness as well as compliance with consumer protection laws; and by liquidating assets of failed institutions to reimburse the insurance funds for the cost of failures."
The vision of the FDIC as stated in its 1997-2002 Strategic Plan is "to assure that the FDIC is an organization dedicated to identifying existing and emerging risks to the deposit insurance funds."

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (West's Encyclopedia of American Law)
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) was created on June 16, 1933, under the authority of the Federal Reserve Act, section 12B (12 U.S.C.A. § 264(s)). It was signed into law by President FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT to promote and preserve public confidence in banks at the time of the most severe banking crisis in U.S. history. From the STOCK MARKET crash of 1929 to the beginning of Roosevelt's tenure as president in 1933, over 9,000 banks closed their doors, resulting in losses to depositors of $1.3 billion. The FDIC was established in order to provide insurance coverage for bank deposits, thereby maintaining financial stability throughout the United States.
The FDIC is an independent agency of the federal government. Its management was established by the Banking Act of 1933. It consists of a board of directors numbering three members, one the comptroller of the currency, and two appointed by the president with approval of the Senate. The two appointed members serve six-year terms, and one is elected by the members to serve as chair of the board. The headquarters of the FDIC is located in Washington, D.C., and the corporation has 13 regional offices. Most of its employees are bank examiners.
The FDIC does not operate on funds from Congress. The capital necessary to start the corporation back in 1933 was...

Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) (Encyclopedia of Business)
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is an independent U.S. government agency that, in an effort to maintain consumer confidence in the U.S. banking system, insures deposits up to $100,000 in most U.S. banks and savings and loan associations (S&Ls). Besides providing insurance on deposits the FDIC has many other responsibilities including regulating and examining banks and S&Ls and providing assistance to failing banking institutions. The FDIC is managed by a board of directors, which includes a chairman, a vice-chairman, and an appointive director. Other important FDIC officers include a comptroller of currency who supervises national and federally chartered banks and a director of the office of thrift supervision who is responsible for supervising federally chartered savings associations. Both officers are also board members. All of the five board members are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. No more than three board members may belong to the same political party.
The FDIC was created in 1933 as part of the Glass-Steagall Act in an effort to restore faith in the U.S. banking system following events that led to the Great Depression. At the time of its creation, the FDIC insured only deposits in banks, not S&Ls. Deposits in S&Ls were, until 1989, insured by the Federal Savings and Loan Corporation. The FDIC was created amidst much controversy. Proponents of the new corporation felt it would prevent bank runs, facilitate a national check clearing system, and add much-needed safety and liquidity to bank deposits. Opponents of the FDIC feared it would overregulate banking operations, and that bank customers, knowing their deposits were fully insured, would favor high-interest-bearing accounts in high-risk banks rather than lower-interest accounts in more stable institutions. Initially, deposit insurance covered only the first $2,500. By 1934 it had quickly risen to $5,000 and by 1980 the cap was $100,000. In some cases the FDIC took the controversial position of ignoring the $100,000 limit. FDIC insurance covers deposits only. It does not cover securities, mutual funds, or other types of investments offered by FDIC-insured banks and S&Ls. Separate coverage, however, is generally provided for individual retirement accounts (IRAs) and Keogh plans.
When the FDIC is confronted with an imminent bank failure, three options are available and by law the least-costly option must be chosen. When a failed bank is closed by its chartering authority, the FDIC is named receiver and usually attempts to find a healthy institution to buy the failed entity. If for some reason this course of action is not feasible or cost-effective then the FDIC will "pay off the bank" by refunding depositors' losses up to $100,000. Depositors will usually receive their money within one or two business days. The third course of action is to stop the bank from failing with a bailout. If there is a bailout the FDIC has the option of invoking its controversial "too big to fail" doctrine. This option is a result of the Continental Illinois Bank fiasco in Chicago in 1984. The FDIC argued that the failure of a large and important financial institution, such as Continental, would seriously erode the foundations of the American banking system. Thus, in order to keep Continental solvent, all deposits, regardless of size, were covered. Many felt that this practice encouraged large investors to patronize larger financial institutions at the expense of smaller ones, however. Heeding these arguments, subsequent legislation made the "too big to fail" procedure more difficult to invoke by requiring the approval of the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the Federal Reserve.
As a result of the S&L bailout of the 1980s and the subsequent bankruptcy of the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation, responsibility for insuring S&L accounts was turned over to the FDIC. This was accomplished by the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989, which also created the Resolution Trust Corporation and the Savings Association Insurance Fund, and provided $150 billion in bailout funds from tax coffers.
Another result of the banking and S&L debacles of the 1980s was the FDIC Improvement Act of 1991 (FDICIA). The FDICIA was meant to ensure that the bank and S&L failures of the 1980s would not be repeated. Between 1983 and 1990 there were failures of approximately 1,150 commercial and savings banks. During this same period more than 900 S&Ls failed or were forced by the now defunct Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation to merge with more-solvent institutions.
Amidst much opposition from the banking industry, the new legislation gave even greater regulatory powers to the FDIC concerning intervention, executive salaries, performance, and lending practices. The FDIC, in an effort to forestall a bank failure, may intervene in a bank's operations at an earlier date than before, force the bank to liquidate assets, and reduce dividends and staff in order to keep the institution solvent. The FDIC may also limit executive salaries, bonuses, and in troubled institutions, regulate realestate loans, and invoke regulatory guidelines on earnings. Observers are guardedly optimistic that the FDICIA is having a positive effect on the banking industry and is playing a role in the steady decrease of bank and S&L problems and failures. In 1996 there were five bank failures in the United States, down from 221 in 1988. There was a concurrent decrease in "problem" banks2 in 1996, down from 1,500 in 1987.
The FDIC is independent of partisan political influence largely because its funding does not come from the government. The FDIC may assess banks and S&Ls for operating funds and for premiums on depositors' insurance. This assessment is based on a sliding scale keyed to each individual institution's risk factor, capital level, and a supervisory assessment. By the late 1990s, however, because most banks and S&Ls found themselves to be financially healthy, assessments are charged on only about 5 percent of these institutions. Funding for operations and depositors' insurance comes from FDIC investments in government securities. By law any assessment received by the FDIC from banks and S&Ls must be invested in U.S. government securities.
By the late 1990s the FDIC was insuring deposits worth nearly $2 trillion. Insurance funds for these deposits come from premiums paid by banks and savings associations and interest from these funds which, as required by law, are invested in U.S. government securities. Banks send their premiums to the Bank Insurance Fund while savings association premiums go to the Savings Association Insurance Fund.
In addition to insuring deposits and regulating banking practices, the FDIC helps finance mergers and acquisitions of failing institutions and regulates closings and reopenings. With the appropriate warnings and publicity the FDIC can also terminate an institutions deposit insurance. In relation to banks not part of the Federal Reserve System, the FDIC performs periodic audits and regulates mergers and acquisitions, locations of branch and main office facilities, changes of ownership, loans made to banks by other institutions, and bank security.

Take your driving to the next level with the Twin Wheel F1 from Genius. Dual connectors let you use the same wheel with your PS2 and your PC. Since you don't have to change wheels when switching platforms, you'll have the advantage over other multi-platform gamers.
Since it's designed to work with the PS2 it has a full complement of control buttons on the wheel. They are even in a similar layout. The only thing you don't have is analog joysticks. But you've got foot pedals and paddle shifters.
You can clamp the wheel to your table or desk. Though for the ultimate in comfort a lap attachment is included so you can play from your couch or favorite easy chair.

Exactly what I wanted!Pros: Drivers installed fine and vibration works as expected (Win 7 - NFS Hot Pursuit) Cons: It is a little small but not uncomfortable. Honestly my only gripe is that the buttons are labeled with their PS2 symbols instead of their corresponding numbers. Other Thoughts: Those complaining about it being too small or not turning more than 180 degrees - get a better wheel! Why buy something that is meant to be budget and then complain about it? I wanted a functional racing wheel for my PC for under $50 and this fit the bill exactly, even exceeding my expectations for the price. It is a very good deal and works great! Did you find this review helpful? |
Unhappy customerPros: Looks to be a quality made controller Cons: This controller comes with absolutely no usable / informative instructions in it's so called users manual. There is nothing in this manual to tell you how to use the device, or how to troubleshoot it. If you are new to playing PC games, do not expect to be able to figure this controller out, because there is absolutely no "how to" information to be found on this item. I was all over the net, and the manufacturers web site looking for help, and there is nothing to be found. Did you find this review helpful? |
For startersPros: Plug and play, vibration simple to use. Cons: Lets start with the notacable ones: Other Thoughts: If the person using it is smaller, and is playing less-intense racing games, I would advise this, but for me, it was a waste. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: I RECEIVED THE PACKAGE QUICKLY.THE FEEL OF THE WHEEL IS EXCELLENT. ITS JUST LIKE DRIVING A REAL CAR. SO FAR NO PROBLEMS WITH THE PRODUCT. Cons: THE ONLY BAD THING IS THAT IT WAS SMALLER THAN WHAT I EXPECTED AND THE PEDALS WERE ALSO SMALL, BUT I GOT USE TO IT AND THE VIBRATION DOES NOT WORK WITH THE 64 BIT DRIVERS BUT IT INSTALLS BOTH 64-BIT AND 32-BIT ON YOUR DESKTOP. IN ORDER TO GET THE VIBRATION TO WORK I HAD TO ENABLE 32-BIT. Other Thoughts: OVERALL AN EXCELLENT BUY IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST RACING WHEEL FOR PC. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT 2 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Genius Twin Wheel F1Pros: Nice wheel overall It does exactly what you'd expect it to.This wheel is the ideal way to make racing games fun without shelling out a ton of cash for a nicer wheel. The wheel fits very nicely on my desk this is a very darn good product over all. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Not too shabbyPros: Force feedback works even though I purchased thinking it did not and that it was a "known issue"... Just launch the controller in 32-bit mode and FF works fine :) When you install the driver, 2 icons will be placed on your desktop. One for each 32 and 64-bit games. I run W764. Cons: I have no cons yet. I knew it was smaller before I purchased, but it doesn't seem to matter at all. I like the size now. It's not flimsy. Other Thoughts: I'm giving 5 eggs because it said it was inexpensive, and it was. It said it works, and it does. It clamps to my desk and does not move. I like it and am buying a 2nd for my home LAN. It's not the wheel I really wanted, but that one is very expensive, and I could never justify a 2nd one for a friend to use here. 2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
great valuePros: cost for this product is outstanding for what you get! It's a great value. USE for Dirt 2 & 3. very compaq, easily take it on the run. NO issues. Plug and play in XP 32bit & WIN764. Cons: NO, cons! any of you that say it made of plastic and feels flismy, should spend more money! You want durable to last. Then pay for it. Dont nock off rating because of it. I only need it to work for a few years, and I am half way there. Wheels tech changes and I dont want to wrap up big bucks in wheel every 2 years. 3rd wheel in 7 years. Other Thoughts: adjustable force feedback is the reason I upgraded from my last barebones wheel. I like tight wheel, my kids dont. Last budget wheel worked great, but this was great upgrade for little to nothing in cost. I would have not bought it if I spent $100+ on the previous wheel. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works, great value for the pricePros: I bought this for some casual racing games with my kiddo. It works well with Dirt 2&3, Grid, and Need for speed Shift. So far the force feedback doesn't quite work in the game, although it works on the test program. :( Cons: For the price, none really, things works as well as I expect.

Force Feedback works on Win 7 x64!Pros: Nice wheel overall, besides there's nothing to compare it to at this price point. The 90 degree twist limit isn't actually too bad because the recoil is very strong. Plenty of additinal controls on the wheel. Got the vibration working by launching the 32-bit program from the desktop (that was installed with the driver) before playing my games. Cons: Wheel is somewhat small and pedals are flimsy and tend to move around a lot during gameplay if set on a hard surface. Having issues configuring the pedals on NFS The Run, otherwise all my other titles run well. Other Thoughts: Great overall especially for under 30 bucks. Makes me look like less of a n00b than I really am. Did you find this review helpful? |
Cheep and CheerfulPros: It does exactly what you'd expect it to. This wheel is the ideal way to make racing games fun without shelling out a ton of cash for a nicer wheel. The combination of low price and solid build mean that you can thrash your way through excited racing without worrying about hurting your wheel. Cons: No force feedback but I knew that buying it so I can't very well take away an egg, especially given the price. Also quite small. Did you find this review helpful? |
