Dali Wine Bar Closed "For the Time Being" Behind Police Tape
City of Ater Steven Doyle sends word that Dali Wine Bar in One Arts Plaza is closed, though we don't know for how long.
I couldn't reach anyone at Dali, which we said had the city's best wine list in last year's Best of Dallas awards, so I swung by to check it out. The patio's sealed off with police tape -- never a good sign -- and the restaurant's dark. The valet said it's closed "for the time being." I asked what happened, and the valet said, "We don't really know."
I'll follow up with more info tomorrow if possible.

Reel Conversation: Forbidden Lie$
Saturday, March 23rd at 2:00 p.m. in the Community Room
Part 2 in a new series focusing on film and conversation. Hosted by Brooks Appelbaum.
Author Norma Khouri won fame and fortune with her book Honor Lost : Love and Death in Modern-Day Jordan (originally published as Forbidden Love, Bantam Books 2003), a "true story" about a shocking honor killing in Jordan. The book was a runaway best-seller and became the toast of the literary world - until July 2004, when esteemed Sydney Morning Herald journalist Malcolm Knox exposed her book as a work of fiction, and her protagonist, a figment of her imagination.
Forbidden Lie$ documentary filmmaker Anna Broinowski attempts to sort fact from fiction by speaking with both the author and her vehemently vocal detractors who believe Khouri made up her biographical tale of a Muslim friend who was killed for dating a Christian.
Please join us to view the film and discuss what really happened. Everyone is welcome!

Shaun Whites run was perfect though, 100 percent text book. He was the only one to hit the channel gap, and he allyoop cork 7'd it. Every hit in shuans run just flowed together sooo smooth. Torstien's switch back 12 is amazing, however the ones he threw in slopestyle were not flawless, he put his hands down on the landing.
Where Torstien really got screwed is the big air comp. Threw 3 perfect switch back 12's, and got beat by Travis Rice, who was attempting double cork 12's. Even though T. Rice never stuck the trick, he won.
P.S. The judging was done by the fans at X games this year. You had to text who you though won, and they determined the winner by who got the most votes.

Tim Kring [creator of Heroes] is the man behind this new brilliant drama on tv, Touch which stars Kiefer Sutherland [24, The Lost Boys], David Mazouz, Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Danny Glover [Lethan Weapon, Leathal Weapon 2] to name a few. [Photo credit: IMDB.com]
Touch's pilot episode previews on 25 January 2012 [Wednesday on Fox/Global]. The first season of the series is scheduled to air thirteen [13] episodes but as of the moment, only three are listed on IMDB: The Pilot [25 Jan], Safety in Numbers [19 March] and Entangled [02 April]. That's NO typo - waiting period --- weeks in between episodes. It is said that the series are scheduled to be shown regularly after the pilot ep'. I hope that it's gonna be on telly every week instead of every couple of weeks. We'll see.
Touch Plot/Storyline:
After the tragic death of Martin Bohm's [Sutherland] wife [9-11 attack], he becomes an ex-journalist, hopping from one job to another to support his 11-year-old mute son Jake [David Mazouz]. Jake does not allow anyone to touch him, not even his father. Martin, not giving up hope tries to connect to his challenged son in any way possible. One day, Martin discovers that his son has the ability to predict the future by linking numbers and circumstances. Martin becomes the voice of his son by deciphering Jake's codes and solving formulae.
Touch Series Trailer:
Touch is a truly touching piece of art. It is a pleasure to watch every second of it!
Although it is a pain to wait seven weeks to see its second episode, I care not. It is worth it, definitely.

By BEN DUDLEYThe Wilson Post
A party reportedly got out of hand late Saturday night in Statesville and one man was shot and killed.
Darrell "Crow" Sloan, 38, of Lebanon, was ruled dead on the scene and a preliminary autopsy found his death to be from multiple shotgun wounds at close range.
Wilson County Sheriff Terry Ashe said Eddie Goode, who was the party's host at the home at 155 Knight's Creek but who is not the owner of the house, called the Wilson County Sheriff's Department early Sunday morning after he said he woke up to find Sloan dead in the game room.
Ashe said that although Sloan was killed by a shotgun, more than one weapon was fired. The full autopsy had not been completed as of press time.
"We do know that this was a party with drugs, alcohol, weapons and women," Ashe said. "We are familiar with these people and have had past dealings with them."
The sheriff added, "This is a senseless killing. We are working every angle to find out what happened that night."
Ashe said that several persons have been interviewed but they have given conflicting statements. He also said that although no arrests had been made yet in the case, investigators were not ruling anyone out.
Search warrants were issued and authorities found a truck that was taken from Sloan's home. Authorities were trying to determine whether the truck by force. It was found in a creek behind the home of one of the persons interviewed by investigators.
Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and other agencies are assisting in the investigation.
Staff Writer Ben Dudley may be contacted at email@example.com.

As one of the iconic images in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007, nobody will ever forget the unlikely sight of Bermuda's Dwayne Leverock throwing himself at full stretch to catch India's Robin Uthappa to claim one of the catches of the tournament.
Watching in the crowd that day was his 13-year-old nephew, Kamau, who vowed that day that he too wanted to play cricket for his country.
Five years on, Kamau is part of the Bermuda team that is taking part in the qualification event for the ICC World Twenty20 2012, but he hasn't forgotten what inspired him to play for his country.
"My uncle played in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 and when he played I said that I wanted to take Bermuda back to the World Cup again," said Leverock.
"I had played a bit of cricket before the World Cup, but my game got a lot more competitive after the 2007 World Cup."
"I was about 13 at the time and had been playing junior league, but I then started to play the senior league after the World Cup, and got a lot more serious about the game, developed my skills and I am now playing at the World Twenty20 Qualifier."
"There was great excitement in Bermuda (during the World Cup), but I actually attended the event. Schools in Bermuda were actually watching the games during classes – there was a lot of pride around the island."
"I went to watch all three Bermuda games and I also went to see Bangladesh play India."
Recalling the day of the India game and that famous catch, Kamau confesses that it wasn't unexpected for his uncle to catch the ball at slip, and admitted that his uncle has been a bit influence on his career.
"He catches those all the time in Bermuda, so it wasn't really a big surprise for me – it's just the world got to see him for the first time" he says.
"He's taught me a lot of things in my cricket career and I hope to play as well as he did for Bermuda," he said.
"He speaks to me all the time about what to expect in an event and what I need to do and how I need to go about things. It's good to have a mentor like him."
Leverock, who is still at school, has moved to England in an effort to pursue his cricketing dream and the aggressive all-rounder has already attracted the attention of a couple of county sides, where he has played some second team matches.
"I would like to play county cricket in England and play for Bermuda as much as I can and take our cricket to a higher level," he said.
"I went to England for a two-week trial and I ended up staying and going to school to pursue me my dream. My Mum sent me with my Godmother and I have been living with her since."
"I have been playing a high level of cricket and I think I am improving my skills all the time."
Bermuda skipper David Hemp, who enjoyed a successful county career with Glamorgan and Warwickshire in England, has been impressed by what he has seen so far and predicts a bright future for him.
"Kamau is a good young cricketer and he has played a couple of second team games in county cricket – one for Surrey and one for Sussex. He is still learning. He is a good all-rounder and he has a bit of pace with the ball. He is a good solid left-hander, and it is good for Bermuda cricket, that he is emerging," said Hemp.

There is a growing number of residencies for artists and curators operating in the cultural and creative sector throughout Europe and its neighbouring countries. At the same time, actors in the international mobility programme field are noting the need for new forms of mutual international exchange. Residencies might be an effective solution in this respect, offering as they do stimulating, unconditional meetings and uninterrupted time for reflection and creative practice. How can we as EUNIC members contribute in creating contexts where creative minds can meet and develop?
In this year's Summer Academy (SA), we would like to consider how EUNIC member organisations might work together on innovative residency programmes focusing on mobility between countries in and outside Europe, and how residencies might contribute to local, regional and international development. As part of the training, we will also be taking a look at residency programmes as a tool of public diplomacy. We will be providing lectures, workshops and a number of study visits.
The three-day training programme will offer project managers from EUNIC member organisations the chance to learn more, to discuss what opportunities exist today and to develop ideas for joint initiatives. An objective of EUNIC SA 2014 is to lay the foundations for specific collaborative projects in relation to mobility initiatives in the Creative Europe and other funding programmes.
The EUNIC SA 2014 will take place on 11–13 June 2014 in Stockholm and will be arranged by the Swedish Institute (SI). The participants will briefly introduce themselves and their coming work at the General Assembly meeting but will report the training results in writing.
The target group of the EUNIC SA 2014 are project managers (or the like) at EUNIC offices, with a special interest or previous experience in residency or mobility projects. The three-day programme is designed for up to 20 participants and is free of charge. SI will cover expenses related to the training (i.e. meals, material and excursions). Travel to and from Stockholm and accom costs will however be covered by the participants themselves. SI will pre-book hotel rooms in a centrally located hotel for a cost around 190 EUR/night.
The call for this year's Summer Academy organised by Swedish Institute in Stockholm from 11 to 13 June 2014 has been launched and the deadline extended! You now have until 10 May 2014 to apply.

My Outfit Monday: Sashaying in sunshine
I'd like to think I had a little something to do with Mr. Sun finally deciding to greet us this afternoon.
All weekend, the skies had been overcast and gray. And when I woke up yet another dreary day this morning, I decided a little pick-me-up was in order.
I looked in my closet and was immediately drawn to this blue floral dress that reminded me of the blue skies and sunshine I'd much rather see outside.
A couple hours (and tons of positive vibes) later? Bright skies!
The dress was an Old Navy purchase circa spring 2011. Today, I paired it with a brown belt and brown heels. I threw on blue and gold jewelry to match the bracelet I recently snagged for $6 during a sale at Target. My jacket is from Charlotte Russe.
And just in case those sun rays decide not to stick around? I've got a bright blue umbrella ready to twirl while I'm singing in the rain.

Shirley Sherrod Was At USDA In 2009
March 7, 2012 by staff
Shirley Sherrod Was At USDA In 2009, Shirley Sherrod says that she was forced to resign from her position at the USDA after her comments were taken out of context. The NAACP has retracted its initial statement condemning those comments and says they were "snookered." They are calling for the administration to reconsider Sherrod's ouster.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports that the woman Sherrod allegedly discriminated against considers Sherrod a "friend for life" and insists that she worked tirelessly to save her family's farm.
82-year-old Eloise Spooner says Sherrod "kept us out of bankruptcy."
"Her husband told her, 'You're spending more time with the Spooners than you are with me,' "Spooner told the AJC. "She took probably two or three trips with us to Albany just to help us out."
Sherrod also told the AJC that the incident took place 24 years ago, and that she told the story in order to emphasize the need to move beyond race. "The story helped me realize that race is not the issue, it's about the people who have and the people who don't," she said.
Shirley Sherrod, a USDA official in Georgia, has resigned after publicly admitting that race played a factor in her decision to limit how much aid would be given to a white farmer.
Sherrod, who is African American, made the comments during a local NAACP banquet on March 27, according to information displayed on the video. A clip of her speech first appeared Monday morning on BigGovernment.com and aired that evening on Fox News.
Her resignation as the agency's state director of rural development was quickly accepted by U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. He cited a zero-tolerance policy and told CNN that he was working to "reverse the checkered civil rights history at the department."
In her controversial speech, Sherrod discussed the first time she was "faced with having to help a white farmer save his farm." She claimed that during the conversation, the man "was trying to show me he was superior to me."
"I was struggling with the fact that so many black people had lost their farmland," Sherrod told the crowd. "And here I was faced with having to help a white person save their land."

Organisers of Ilkley Carnival have announced a target-busting £15,000 was raised for good causes at last week's event.
With 10,500 visitors through the gates – 2,000 more than last year – and £3,000 more raised, primary beneficiary LS29 Support Group will receive a £7,500 donation.
The remaining funds will be distributed among charities and groups that supported the Bank Holiday Monday event.
The fundraising total is the highest in at least a decade.
Chairman Andrew Stacey said the benefits of this year's Ilkley Carnival had reached further than any previous year.
"We are not only delighted by this incredible sum of money raised for our local community but also by just how broad our reach is becoming," he said.
"This year saw the busiest run- up to Ilkley Carnival, with our social media push to find a free Wii for Ilkley Stroke Club, the introduction of free fairground rides for LS29, more entries than ever in our Carnival Creative competition, crowds on Saturday and Sunday in the Hollygarth for our first ever Ilkley Rocks and a fantastic show of community support for our shop-window dressing initiative, which has now been extended across Yorkshire to support the Tour de France."
Karen Goodman, from LS29, said the group's members were staggered by the funds raised.
She said: "This is such an incredible amount of money for a group the size of ours. It means so much to so many people and will ensure we can continue to support existing and new families of children with special needs."
She added: "We've had an influx of inquiries about our activities and even had new families join since we were selected as Ilkley Carnival's primary beneficiary. While the money is an incredible boost, the experience of being a part of this fantastic local event has been worth its weight in gold, not only to us as a group but to the many families of children with special needs who now know we are here for them."
Parade participants topped 1,500 in the Yorkshire Tour-themed event, which saw All Saints Primary School take Best School in Parade and Best in Parade awards on the day.
Ben Rhydding Primary, Ashlands Primary and Westville School took joint runner-up Best in School award and Ben Rhydding Scout and Guide Group won Best Organisation/Charity in Parade.
llkley Pre-School was runner-up in the Best Organisation/Charity in Parade category.

text: Washington (ANI): Hollywood actor Eric Bana has vowed never to play comic characters, for he thinks that this genre left him burnt out. Before earning fame in cinema, the Incredible Hulk star was associated with the television industry. He made his TV debut in 1993 as a sketch artist and writer for Australian comedy show Full Frontal. However, the 39-year-old actor now insists that his days as a comedian are now over. By the time I started doing film I was kind of burnt out. I know it is frustrating for people, who like to see that stuff and I just tell them to go onto (uploading website) YouTube, Contactmusic quoted him as saying. I just had had enough of it. I did it for a long time back home where they probably dont take me seriously and internationally, people cant believe I was once funny so its a good scenario, I enjoy that scenario, he added.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/12/2012 (1696 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
LOS ANGELES -- The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey continues to rule them all at the box office, staying on top for a third straight week and capping a record-setting $10.8 billion year in moviegoing.
The Warner Bros. fantasy epic from director Peter Jackson, based on the beloved J.R.R. Tolkien novel, made nearly $33 million this weekend, according to Sunday studio estimates, despite serious competition from some much-anticipated newcomers. It's now made $222.7 million domestically alone.
Two big holiday movies -- and potential Academy Awards contenders -- also had strong openings. Quentin Tarantino's spaghetti Western-blaxploitation mash-up Django Unchained came in second place for the weekend with $30.7 million. The Weinstein Co. revenge comedy, starring Jamie Foxx as a slave in the Civil War South and Christoph Waltz as the bounty hunter who frees him and then makes him his partner, has earned $64 million since its Christmas Day opening.

The amount of electricity generated by a country,
and the breakdown of that production by type of fuel, reflects the natural resources,
imported energy, national policies on security of energy supply, population size,
electrification rate as well as the stage of development and rate of growth of the
economy in each country.
The table shows data on electricity generation from
fossil fuels, nuclear, hydro (excluding pumped storage), geothermal, solar, biofuels,
etc. It includes electricity produced in electricity-only plants and in combined heat
and power plants. Both main activity producer and autoproducer plants are included,
where data are available. Main activity producers generate electricity for sale to
third parties as their primary activity. Autoproducers generate electricity wholly or
partly for their own use as an activity which supports their primary activity. Both
types of plants may be privately or publicly owned.
Electricity generation is measured in terawatt
hours, which expresses the generation of 1 terawatt (1012 watts) of electricity for one hour.
Some countries have trouble reporting electricity
generation from autoproducer plants. In some non-member countries it is also difficult
to obtain information on electricity generated by biofuels and waste.
World electricity generation rose at an average
annual rate of 3.7% from 1971 to 2010, greater than the 2.2% growth in total
primary energy supply. This increase was largely due to more electrical
appliances, the development of electrical heating in countries and of rural
electrification programmes in developing countries.
The share of electricity production from fossil
fuels has gradually fallen, from just under 75% in 1971 to 67% in 2010. This
decrease was due to a progressive move away from oil, which fell from 20.9% to
Oil for world electricity generation has been
displaced in particular by dramatic growth in nuclear electricity generation,
which rose from 2.1% in 1971 to 17.7% in 1996. However, the share of nuclear has
been falling steadily since then and represented 12.9% in 2010. Global nuclear
power will likely be even lower in 2011 following the tsunami in Japan and the
resulting Fukushima nuclear power plant accident.
Due to large development
programmes in several OECD countries, the share of new and renewable energies,
such as solar, wind, geothermal, biofuels and waste increased. However, these
energy forms remain of limited importance: in 2010, they accounted for only 3.7%
of total electricity production for the world as a whole.

Final Fantasy XIII
Review by Cyrius85
"13 chapters of handholding + growing pains = FF13"
I've beaten every final fantasy title since FF7 and I've seen a gradual shift in the FF experience. I could rant and rave about the old days or I could tear up the faults of the last few FF installments, but this is a quick review and I'm too lazy. Suffice to say that it can all be summed up in one word: hand-holding. (Okay two words, forgive me). You'll also spent more time levelling your characters after the story is over, thereby defeating any story driven purpose for maxing out your characters.
Gameplay 8/10
Category 1: Battles 10/10
Fast paced, yet strategic enough to present a challenge. A good variety of techniques and balancing offence/defence/support presents some very interesting and stressful battle situations. Collecting and modifying equipment is challenging and intricate. As with all FF games, a little time spent levelling will make your life much easier. The character levelling system is straightforward and easy. I would like more freedom for character customization, as each character is built for specific roles and simply won't perform as well in their "off" roles. Certain characters are entirely geared towards a specific role, and they become super-specialists. I felt railroaded. Aside from that, good job Square.
Category 2: Story 6/10
Ever played connect the dots? It just doesn't make sense until you complete the task. You're forced to stay on a linear story arc with hardly any room for exploration. The names are so similar that you can hardly track who the good guys are and who the bad guys are (l'Cie, Fal'cie, Ci'eth, etc....). In trying to "immerse" us in a fantasy world, Square has gone to the point where I can hardly relate to the characters. Since when is a bada$$ tank named Snow? Why is a heavy-hitting hot mama named Fang? Lightning? Hope? Seriously?
Sound & Graphics 9/10
Both good. No complaints.
Replayability 3/10
The length of the story just doesn't warrant a replay. I am a fan of doing it right the first time. Post-game play is what it is all about here. I doubt you'll want to go back to a weak starter party after investing 60+ hours in CP farming and having that adrenaline rush of bringing down an adamantortoise.
Final Score 8/10
Not and average. If you're a FF veteran, beat it for your own sake. If you're new to the series: Beat it and then go beat FF7 and FF8, then tell me which game you preferred.
Reviewer's Rating: 4.0 - Great

Update on renewable energy developments in the Western Cape
Written by Sam Ralston - Western Cape Birding.
BirdLife South Africa supports the responsible development of Renewable Energy in South Africa with due regard to minimising the impact on birds. The Birds & Wind Energy Specialist Group - a group of specialists who guide BirdLife South Africa and EWT's work towards minimising the impact of wind energy on birds - has been identified as a key stakeholder in the roll out of RE developments and provides advice to government, industry and environmental consultants.
(1) Renewable Energy Independent Power Producer Programme (REIPPP). This programme has been designed to allow independent power producers to generate renewable energy and input this into the national grid. Initially there were hundreds of EIA applications for wind and solar energy sites. Some have been withdrawn or have lapsed. Only a small percentage of those projects with environmental approval will ever be built. There is a lot of development pressure in the Eastern Cape due to the perceived socio-economic benefits of renewable energy development. In the Western Cape, most of the proposed wind farms are in the West Coast and Karoo.
(2) Wind Energy
There have been three rounds of this project thus far:
- Round 1: 634MW (8 wind farms, approx. 250 turbines)
- Round 2: 563MW (7 wind farms, approx. 225 turbines)
- Round 3: 787MW (7 wind farms, approx. 300 turbines)
Bids have recently been submitted for the 4th round.
Preferred Bidders in the Western Cape:
- Round 1: Dassiesklip Wind Energy Facility, Hopefield Wind Farm (operational or near operational).
- Round 2: Wind Farm West Coast 1, Gouda Wind Farm (under construction).
- Round 3: None in the Western Cape.
Wind Energy and Birds. Wind energy can have a negative impact on birds. Potential threats include collision, habitat loss, displacement, and disturbance. Not all turbines are dangerous. Site selection and monitoring are critical. Experience in other parts of the world is that mortality through collisions is a rare event. One study looked at statistics from projects in various parts of the world and came up with an estimated average of 2.3 mortalities per turbine per year, but the variation in rates between wind farms is significant with a range of 0-60 mortalities/turbine/year. Most groups of birds are affected but raptors account for a large number of mortalities.
(3) Solar Energy. Solar plants/farms are designed to generate power through the photovoltaic (PV) process or concentrated solar power (CSP). CSP has the capacity to store energy for up to 9 hours.
Solar Projects in the Western Cape:
- Vredendal, Electra Capital, Aurora, SlimSun Swartland Solar Park, proposed Touwsrivier facility.
Solar Energy and Birds. Habitat loss was initially thought to be the biggest problem with solar energy. However, there is increasing evidence that birds can also be impacted by impact trauma or stranding if they collide with the reflective panels. Solar flux (areas of concentrated solar energy) at CSP facilities using power towers can also affect birds by burning them.
(4) BirdLife South Africa's Approach.
Discourage proposals in sensitive areas:
- Tools: Avian Wind Sensitivity Map, Strategic Environmental Assessment, project screening.
Promote rigorous impact assessment:
- Tools: Best Practice Guidelines (wind) (not produced currently for solar), capacity building
(DEA and specialists), comment on EIAs/casework. Note: DEA has not officially endorsed
the Guidelines.
Promote monitoring of impacts.
- Tools: Best Practice Guidelines, review monitoring reports.
Promote knowledge development.
- Tools: Central repository for monitoring reports, facilitate research, facilitate information
Note: The Letseng wind facility in Lesotho has been approved. There is huge concern regarding the impact on the endangered Bearded Vulture. BLSA is working closely with the Department of the Environment in Lesotho and the developer in an attempt to resolve the issue.
(5) Challenges and Future Focus.
Solar energy: Monitoring and impact assessment.
Wind energy: (i) Post-construction monitoring critical; (ii) Operational phase mitigation.
- Defining "acceptable" levels of impact.
- Species specific guidance.
- Data management and access to data.
- Strategic environmental assessment.
- Cumulative impact on populations over a number of turbines.
- Sensitivity map.
(6) What Bird Clubs can do.
Information gathering (e.g. SABAP2) to feed into Sensitivity map and screening.
Comment on EIAs - local knowledge, engage with the details, and support Best Practice.
Voluntary monitoring (e.g. My Bird Patch)
Lobby developers to contribute to local conservation initiatives.
Keep BirdLife South Africa informed.
Use less electricity.
Comments and Questions:
- (KH): There is the question of the distance covered by power lines from turbines to energy grid. EIAs cover only the immediate area of the turbines, not the area covered by power lines. (SR) Agree. The guidelines recommend that power lines be checked and marked.
- (DW): Are wind farm developers adhering to the guidelines given? (SR) Compliance is increasing. This is where post-construction monitoring is important.
- (DW): How sure are we about the predictions made in EIA? (SR): The Sensitivity map is being updated. It sufficed for initial guidelines but more research is now needed.
- (TW): BLSA is pushing an over emphasis on raptors being impacted by wind turbines; other species are not taken into account to the same extent. (SR): Raptors do seem to be more vulnerable than waterbirds which seem to avoid turbines to some degree. (TW) They fly at night at turbine height. (PN): Waterbirds are a priority at the Gouda site.
- (PN): Observers monitor species on the map, flight path and height at which the bird is flying. The information is given to the contractor. PN's concern is whether there is an oversight mechanism to ensure it is being followed. (SR) Yes, this is the role of the appointed bird specialists. Data recorded by observers is taken into account and adhered to where clear patterns emerge.

DC Confirms New Watchmen Comics
35-part Before Watchmen due this summer
The storm has been approaching for a couple of years now, but it broke yesterday with DC announcing that Alan Moore's iconic graphic novel Watchmen is to finally get the franchise treatment. It's not strictly movie news (although there are possible implications) but we thought you might be interested...
The story dates back to a change of regime at DC in 2010. Despite the company's very public falling-out with the irascible Moore, DC's head honcho Paul Levitz was always adamant that Watchmen, at least in print form, was sacred ground not to be invaded. When Levitz stepped down, however, Watchmen was no longer sequestered by in-house defenders, and with Zack Snyder's movie propelling the book to the status of DC's all-time bestseller, the company's senior vice-president Dan DiDio made an expanded Watchmen universe a pet project.
Much speculation and rumour followed (largely fuelled by the alarmist fanboys at Bleeding Cool), but the result turns out to be seven inter-connected prequel comic mini-series, published weekly under the banner Before Watchmen, starting this summer.
Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets, Hellblazer) is writing the four-part Rorschach and the six-part Comedian. J Michael Straczynski (Amazing Spider-Man, Thor) gets four-part shots at Dr Manhattan and Nite Owl. Darwyn Cooke (Catwoman, New Frontier) is behind the four-issue Silk Spectre and the six-issue Minutemen. And Watchmen's original editor Len Wein is providing six issues of Ozymandias. Each issue will contain two pages of a new pirate story Curse Of The Crimson Corsair (again by Wein), and there'll also be a multi-authored Before Watchmen: Epilogue.
Original Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons is quoted in DC's press release cautiously wishing the project well. Moore though, true to form, was quick to denounce it, telling the New York Times, "It's completely shameless. I tend to take this latest development as confirmation that [DC] are still apparently dependent on ideas that I had 25 years ago. I don't want money; I just want it not to happen."
A defensive Straczynski confidently hit back, calling Moore's position "absolutely understandable and deeply flawed." He pointed out that "the Watchmen characters were variations on pre-existing characters created for the Charleton Comics universe."
"As far as I know, there weren't many prequels or sequels to Moby Dick," sniffed Moore. But Moore has spent much of the last decade writing The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen (using characters created by Jules Verne, Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, Bram Stoker, HG Wells, H Rider Haggard and so on), and Lost Girls (a pornographic team-up of Oz's Dorothy, Wonderland's Alice and Peter Pan's Wendy). If Moby Dick never had spin-offs, it's possibly only because Moore never got round to using Ahab. Pot? Kettle?
"I don't hear Alan suggesting that no one other than Shuster and Siegel should have been allowed to write Superman," says Straczynski. "Certainly Alan himself did this when he was brought on to write Swamp Thing, a seminal comics character created by Len Wein. The whole point of having great characters is the opportunity to explore them more deeply. That DC allowed these characters to sit on a shelf for over two decades as a show of respect is salutary, but there comes a time when good characters have to re-enter the world."
"It's our responsibility as publishers to find new ways to keep all of our characters relevant," said Didio. "Collaborative storytelling is what keeps these fictional universes fresh."
DC's press release calls Before Watchmen "As highly anticipated as it is controversial." Controversial? You don't say. Give us your thoughts in the comments below.

On June 23, the New York State Senate voted for marriage equality. They did this in spite of opposition from the Catholic Bishops and other religious groups. Even though New York State is relatively liberal political territory, it is large and influential nationally.
That vote, I believe, signals a definitive shift in the political winds on this issue nationally. It's been coming for a while, and New York looks like the turning point. Tens of thousands of gays and lesbians will soon marry -- and the world won't come to an end.
Most interesting, the New York Senate is Republican controlled, and although only four Republican senators voted for the bill, the leadership could have prevented a vote, but did not. Governor Andrew Cuomo, a Roman Catholic, signed the bill into law almost immediately.
The same legislation almost passed in the Maryland legislature earlier this year. And the Catholic governor of Maryland, Martin O'Malley, pushed for the bill and was ready to sign it had it passed.
Interestingly, both of these men are being talked about as "presidential possibilities" for 2016. And no one seems to think that their support of marriage equality will be a liability. Indeed, it is starting to look like a "profile in courage."
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
Meanwhile, the Catholic bishops were -- according to detailed reporting in The New York Times -- out-maneuvered in the lobbying leading up to the vote. In Maryland, their opposition was not key to the defeat of the measure. According to political insiders, that distinction belongs to black ministers in Prince George's County.
What's going on? The culture is changing rapidly, with a strong generational shift. Most young people that I know who are in their 20s, and most of them are Catholic, have a hard time understanding why marriage equality is even an issue – for the state or the church.
A case in point is Kelly Stewart, 23, who converted to Catholicism on Easter last year. She was attracted by the church's teaching on social justice and the work of Dorothy Day. The Catholics she knew personally were "positive and affirming" toward her and other gay people.
But church teachings on homosexuality complicated her decision to convert. She did not want to give implicit support to anti-gay policies. Lucky for Kelly, she knew many Catholics in the church reform movement, and came to believe that this was a good place from which to engage the struggle. She is currently working at New Ways Ministry in Maryland.
She is not alone. Young people, gay and straight, want change on this issue. It is their civil rights struggle, their time to say, "We shall overcome." Many older people are changing as well. That's why governors like Cuomo and O'Malley feel free to follow their best instincts.
The bishops could learn a lot from Kelly and her generation -- and they might have a talk with these governors to top it off.

The U.S. is inadvertently financing human trafficking and worker abuse because of the federal government's poor oversight of contractors operating in war zones, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) told a congressional panel today.
Federal contracting regulations rely on self-policing and reporting to contracting officers, which has not been proven to be an effective way to monitor trafficking, POGO Director of Investigations Nick Schwellenbach told a subcommittee of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Although the Department of Defense has made some improvements in combatting trafficking, there is still a notable lack of criminal enforcement. In the few investigations that have been conducted into alleged contractor involvement in human trafficking in war zones, some of the people making allegations were never even interviewed, Schwellenbach told the Subcommittee on Technology, Information Policy, Intergovernmental Relations and Procurement Reform.
"The lack of oversight of federal contractors has led to taxpayer dollars funding these terrible crimes," Schwellenbach said. "The U.S. has a moral and legal obligation to do everything it can to protect its contracted workforce in war zones."
If you haven't read Sarah Stillman's June article in the New Yorker about human trafficking in U.S. war zones, you should. It's a heartbreaker.

In six countries where Vodafone operates, tapping calls is a legal requirement. Vodafone won't name the six for fear of retaliation by the governments in those countries. In Albania, Egypt, Hungary, India, Malta, Qatar, Romania, South Africa and Turkey, it is against the law to disclose any information related to wiretapping or the interception of calls.
International human rights laws give Vodafone customers the right to privacy. But the carrier says that it has to follow the laws in every country where it operates, which means giving away customer information to law enforcement officials. Vodafone says,"Refusal to comply with a country's laws is not an option." The mobile operator also says that it published its twenty page report in order to spark debate on government surveillance systems. The report will be updated annually, according to Vodafone.

Sonic the Hedgehog
Review by SONIC_305
"The first game of Sonic where it all began!"
Decided to play this game looking back at all the Sonic games that I've ever played which still this game just brings back memories like a blast from the past. No matter how much I play it once in a while you will find this game fun if you never played a Sonic game before.
Story 10/10: Doesn't have much details for this story but hey this was a really old game back then. Meet a super cool hedgehog named Sonic the Hedgehog who's runs really fast. The story was mostly about Dr. Robotnik stole the Chaos Emeralds and has captured his animal friends. It's up to Sonic the Hedgehog to save the day and stop Dr. Robotnik.
Graphics 10/10: Really good graphics for an old game which I find it really impression with the sprites and most of the stages are really detailed with all these levels you'll find interesting. Very well detailed and backgrounds are great.
Gameplay 10/10: The Gameplay for this is just too awesome where you run super fast with Sonic but this is where things get difficulty. Every Zone you complete the games will get harder since if your those kind of people who like playing difficulty games but also its more like Super Mario where you jump on your opponents except your not using mushrooms and the Ring is your life gauge. Not only that but also the items in this game have are really useful as well which helps along the way trying to pass the stages. You need 50 rings to collect to enter a bonus stage where you can get the Chaos Emeralds and there are 6 in total (there's suppose to be seven as you play more Sonic games). This game is so fun it's really as great and enjoyable to play than any other Sega games that you will find.
Music and sound 10/10: Amazing music mostly enjoyable to listen to that you'd want a soundtrack for it. Most are catchy that the music is just too unforgettable that ITS JUST AMAZING!!!! The sounds are really good to hear like the ring sound, the jumping, and the spin dash also when you hit many things on the way!
Overall 10/10: Most enjoyable Sonic game to play for a classic and its just too astounding to play for old time gamers. Not only that its just perfect for people who have never played Sonic the Hedgehog before. I recommend playing the old games of Sonic the Hedgehog rather than the new ones that are coming out. This is what Sonic is about even though the new ones today are still good but not as good as this game where it will and always will remain one of the best and the original fun games to play. THIS IS A GAME YOU HAVE TO PLAY IF YOU WANT TO PLAY SONIC I RECOMMEND PLAYING THIS ONE FIRST AT LEAST LOOK FOR AN EMULATOR OF SEGA GENESIS OR SOMETHING THAT YOU'LL BE ABLE TO PLAY IT! C'MON THIS IS A GAME YOU WILL MOSTLY LIKELY HAVE FUN RATHER THAN CARING ABOUT THE STUPID GRAPHICS THAN THE FUN OF THE GAME FOR YOU HARDCORE GAMERS OUT THERE! NO MATTER WHAT THIS GAME IS JUST TOO AWESOME TO PLAY!

Woman Sentenced To Prison After Driving High, Killing Passenger In Crash
A Richwood woman pleaded guilty and was sentenced to prison on Wednesday for driving high and running a stop sign in July that led to the death of her passenger and injured her three children.
Angie Hoover, 31, was sentenced to 9 years in prison and received a lifetime driver's license suspension, 10TV News reported.
The crash occurred on July 22, 2010 at the stop sign at state Routes 257 and 37 in Ostrander and killed Hoover's boyfriend, Charles Muetzel.
Hoover's three sons were injured in the crash and the other driver was also injured.
"Not only did a blood test reveal marijuana in her system, but she also had marijuana and other drug paraphernalia in her purse at the time of the crash," said the Delaware County Prosecuting Attorney Carol O'Brien. "This prison sentence is justified by her total disregard for her passenger, other drivers and her three children.
In June, Hoover was sentenced to one year in prison after a Delaware County jury found her guilty of complicity to robbery.

2014 NHRA: Mopar Hemi Challenge Set For 60th Chevrolet Performance US Nationals

2014 NHRA: Mopar Hemi Challenge Set For 60th Chevrolet Performance US Nationals
The Mopar brand will highlight its commitment once again to Sportsman racing competition within the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) by holding the ever-popular HEMI® Challenge for a 14th consecutive season at the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals in Brownsburg, Ind., this August. This year's edition will include a tribute to the 50th anniversary of the GEN II 426 Race HEMI as part of Mopar's year-long commemoration of the iconic engine.
The HEMI Challenge first made its debut on the quarter-mile track at the 2001 edition of the prestigious Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals held at Lucas Oil Raceway and featured 1968 HEMI Dodge Darts and Plymouth Barracudas, the classic muscle cars that contributed to the brand's legendary reputation and success at the drag strip.
This year's edition celebrates the 50th anniversary of the iconic second generation HEMI engine that powers these vehicles with a winner's award of $15,000, a unique HEMI 50th anniversary Challenge trophy and a custom Mopar HEMI 50th anniversary winner's jacket. Every participant in the Mopar-powered Super Stock/Automatic-HEMI (SS/AH) class participating in the HEMI Challenge will receive a special HEMI key chain and a limited edition print of the 50th anniversary HEMI heritage wall display, while the top 16 cars advancing to the elimination rounds on Friday, August 29, will receive a cash prize payout.
"The legendary 426 HEMI engine was introduced 50 years ago through motorsports and went on to power the classic Mopar muscle cars that still are such a big part of our heritage thanks in part to the passion of our sportsman competitors and fans," said Pietro Gorlier, President and CEO of Mopar, Chrysler Group LLC's service, parts and customer-care brand. "That passion and heritage comes alive every year with the HEMI Challenge and the NHRA Sportsman drag racers who compete in this annual showcase. This year, we're excited to celebrate this half century of the HEMI with the group of racers that are truly the backbone of the sport with their dedication to the brand and drag racing.
"Continuing to support the HEMI Challenge and our sportsman racers is important to Mopar. A strong contingency program, Sportsman barbecues, the establishment of the Tom Hoover Sportsman Challenge in 2013, and now a 14th edition of the Mopar HEMI Challenge, are just a few examples of how much we value their contributions."
"For years, this has been one of the most competitive 'race-within-a-race' events in the NHRA," said Tom Compton, president of NHRA. "That's one reason why our fans love it so much; there's never a clear-cut favorite."
Among the all Mopar Sportsman competitors taking part in the U.S. Nationals, one will be chosen as Mopar's "Top Eliminator" in the long-running customized and performance vehicle program that highlights passionate and dedicated Mopar enthusiasts who display unmatched skill in modifying or preserving a classic or modern-day Mopar vehicle. Last year's winner was the 2010 "Knox County Driller" Mopar Challenger Drag Pak owned by Brent Jones, of Wheatland, Ind. A total of four 2014 Top Eliminator selections will be made from entries at the Carlisle Chrysler Nationals in Carlisle, Pa., 'Mopars in the Park' in Farmington, Minn., and a final one will be chosen from an online contest with fans voting to determine the winner.
In addition to the HEMI Challenge, Mopar offers Sportsman racers support in the 2014 NHRA Mello Yello and Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series with a grassroots contingency program that provides financial awards for those running specified parts, as well as a Sportsman barbecue.
Mopar also established the "Tom Hoover Sportsman Challenge" in 2013 and will continue the program through 2014 with a winning driver selected from the Sportsman Stock or Super Stock classes by amassing the most points behind the wheel of a Chrysler Group vehicle in the course of the season at NHRA sanctioned races nationwide. Last year's winner was talented 24 year old, Austin Williams, of Texas, who drives a stock class 1972 Duster.
The 2001 inaugural edition of the Mopar HEMI Challenge was won by driver Bucky Hess. Previous winners also include Richard Beshore (2002), Jerry Jenkins (2003) and five-time NHRA Pro Stock champ, Jeg Coughlin Jr. (2004). Charlie Westcott Jr., of Parma, Mich. has five career HEMI Challenge wins, (2005, 2006, 2008, 2011, and 2012) with his father, Charlie Westcott Sr. (2009), Jim Daniels (2010) and current defending winner Rick Houser (2007 and 2013) interrupting those victories.
This year's HEMI Challenge is scheduled to take place Thursday, August 28 and Friday, August 29, during the 60th annual Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals at Lucas Oil Raceway in Brownsburg, Ind., held from Aug. 27–Sept. 1.
Mopar's commitment to professional motorsports competition was established in the 1950s when a partnership ignited with drag racing pioneer Don Garlits, resulting in the breaking of numerous speed and performance barriers in HEMI®-powered vehicles over the next several decades. In 2014, Mopar celebrates the 50th anniversary of the introduction of the GEN III 426 Race HEMI® and looks to defend back-to-back NHRA World Championship titles (2012-2013) in the Pro Stock class and battle for another Funny Car World Championship after wins in 2011-2012. While Mopar remains involved in a various professional motorsports series, it continues to honor its roots by being a proud supporter of amateur racing within the NHRA with its sponsorship of the HEMI Challenge and Mopar Sportsman Cup.
Headquartered in Glendora, Calif., NHRA is the primary sanctioning body for the sport of drag racing in the United States. NHRA presents 24 national events featuring the NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series, NHRA Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series and NHRA Pro Mod Drag Racing Series. NHRA provides competition opportunities for drivers of all levels in the NHRA Summit Racing Series and the NHRA Drags: Street Legal Style presented by AAA. NHRA also offers NHRA Youth Racing for teens and the NHRA Summit Racing Jr. Drag Racing League for youth ages 8 to 17. In addition, NHRA owns and operates five racing facilities: Atlanta Dragway in Georgia; Auto-Plus Raceway at Gainesville in Florida; National Trail Raceway in Ohio; Lucas Oil Raceway at Indianapolis; and Auto Club Raceway at Pomona in Southern California.

text: The law firm of Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, has commenced an investigation into possible breaches of fiduciary duty to current shareholders of IntegraMed America, Inc. (NASDAQ: INMD) ("IntegraMed") and other violations of state law by the board of directors of IntegraMed relating to the proposed buyout of the company by affiliates of the investment firm Sagard Capital Partners, L.P. ("Sagard Capital"). The firm's investigation seeks to determine, among other things, whether the board breached its fiduciary duties by failing to maximize shareholder value. On June 11, 2012, IntegraMed announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement providing for Sagard Capital to acquire IntegraMed for approximately $169.5 million. Under the terms of the buyout transaction, IntegraMed shareholders will receive $14.05 for each share of IntegraMed common stock held. However, according to Yahoo! Finance, analysts have set a mean price target of $15.50 and at least one analyst has set a high price target of $17.00 per share. IntegraMed's largest shareholder, who owns 26.9% of the Company's outstanding shares, has agreed to vote in favor of the transaction. Sagard Capital owns an additional 3.7% of IntegraMed's outstanding shares. If you currently own shares of IntegraMed and would like to learn more about the investigation being conducted by Brower Piven, you may email or call Brower Piven, who will, without obligation or cost to you, attempt to answer your questions. You may contact Brower Piven by email at email@example.com, by calling (410) 415-6616, or at Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation, 1925 Old Valley Road, Stevenson, Maryland 21153.

I'm Thinking about...
Selling my Beretta Cougar 8045 and buying a Colt Commander or similar Commander size 1911. I've been thinking about it and I prefer the slimmer profile and slightly longer barrel of a Commander. I don't lose capacity since the Cougar only holds 8 + 1 and I can get that in the Commander.
The only problem is that the Beretta wouldn't pay for the new pistol, so I'd have to put it on layaway. :mad:
The Cougar is a nice pistol. It's dependable and accurate and I just replaced the night sights as well. I hate the thought of taking a bath on it. I've got five mags and a new Don Hume Jit slide that would go with it too.
I figure even with all that stuff, I can only get maybe $450 or so out of it. I guess I could sell the mags and the holster on the Beretta Forum and pick up a bit extra there. But that still doesn't pay for a Commander.
Should I just keep it and try to love it, or should I get rid of it, bite the bullet and get the 1911? :confused:
Punt the Italian **** gun to the street!
Geez. You guys are brutal. :D
If you don't like the Baretta then sell it. If you do like it then keep it, Either way get the 1911. Put it on layaway if you have to.
I have done stuff like that before and was more satisfied afterwards......but several times I got rid of something that I regreted so it all boils down to whether or not you really like the Baretta.
This is just my opinion.
I've got one better. Give me the Beretta for my new venture. I have a kennel for firearms. While in my kennel they are showed much love and attention. They are safe and get exercised and cleaned daily. Just drop off your beloved firearm with enough food to keep them fed for the duration of your absence. I take care of the care personally and guarantee a safe and happy environment for all. I don't play favorites with those in my care. Weekly and monthly rates available.
skullcrusher has copywrited this post. :D
Saw a new colt commander stainless here for $800, looks very nice!
Handguns are merely tools. If you want a Commander, sell the Cougar if needs be. Some folks never let go of a gun, me on the other hand change them quite often. If I really miss something, I'll just get another one...
If you really wanted that Commander... you'd find a way to get it.

Time Schedule:
Paul L. Ahern Jr
Seattle Campus
Teaches practical administrative, leadership, and analytic skills commonly required of managers and analysts in the public and nonprofit sectors. The workshops emphasize hands-on problem resolution, simulations, and actual practice. Credit/no-credit only.
Class description
The course will explore why and how nonprofit organizations may engage in successful public policy advocacy. Many nonprofit organizations choose to complement their work on their primary mission with a policy advocacy component in order to: * Leverage the impact of available funds to achieve the nonprofit's mission, * Strengthen the voice of the underrepresented in public policy debates, and * Create diverse coalitions that lead to systemic change.
Unfortunately, there is a common misconception that it is inappropriate, illegal, or just too risky for public charities (i.e., Section 501(c)(3) organizations) to engage in advocacy activities. To the contrary, the rules restricting certain types of advocacy activities are relatively simple to understand and follow.
The classes and readings will begin with a review of the wide range of advocacy activities that can be conducted without any legal restrictions at all, including several case studies of both effective and ineffective policy advocacy by nonprofit organizations or coalitions. We will cover the basic rules governing nonprofits that engage in legislative lobbying and nonpartisan election-related activities, and also examine several examples of both successful and unsuccessful lobbying or campaign efforts.
The course will conclude with a review of how nonprofits obtain financial support for many advocacy activities from foundations and governments, including a study of specific examples. If time permits, we could also cover why and how foundations can directly engage in policy advocacy themselves.

Longtime Nats in-game host Clint Khoury — who has missed only a handful of the team's home games over his six seasons in the job — will have a reduced role this season, due to outside work obligations.
"Clint has an opportunity to further his career and this advancement will require him to travel," a team spokeswoman said in a statement. "Therefore he will be unable to be a part of all Nationals home games this season. He will remain a member of the Game Entertainment staff, periodically filling in as host as well as appearing in various video packages and outside events. Clint has proved to be a great asset and a true friend of the Washington Nationals and we look forward to having him back for his seventh season, albeit in a lesser capacity."
Reliable Source provided some background on Clint in 2010; one excerpt:
An Ohio native who moved here [in 2005], Khoury tried out for the gig in early '07 after being tipped off by a pal who knew he wanted to break into broadcasting. They had him play some goofy games, do an impromptu commercial and apparently he had what it takes. "The right blend," he said, "of funny and annoying."…
"I think some of the angst about the in-game host character that is Clint stems from the fact that baseball is a very traditional game….There are fans that don't need the games and the giveaways, but there are fans who really enjoy that….Clearly, the game, the athletics are the most important part, and we wouldn't want to do anything that takes away from that. I see this as an accent to the main course."
In a related story, the MLB Team Jobs web site was recently advertising for the position of Nats in-game host.
"The In-Game Host is essential to the gameday experience at Nationals Park," the ad read in part. "This position hosts a 30 minute pre-game show (Inside Pitch Live), as well as all of the in-game promotions. The Host is responsible for getting fans excited by engaging them with various games and prizes."
The host, according to the ad, also must bring "on-going creativity to the role by constantly searching for ways to reinvent themselves while staying within the framework of their character."
The deadline for applying was last Friday.

Definitely No Damon For Bourne Legacy
In fact, no Bourne at all
There were a few unanswered questions following last week's news that Tony Gilroy would be directing the next instalment in the Bourne franchise. Thanks to Hollywood Elsewhere though, we now have clarification: Matt Damon will certainly not be returning for The Bourne Legacy.
That's not because the role of superspy Jason Bourne is being re-cast. It's because Bourne isn't in the film at all. "No one's replacing Matt Damon," says Gilroy, the writer of all the Bournes so far and director of the ace Michael Clayton. "There will be a whole new hero."
If that doesn't chime with what you think you know about The Bourne Legacy, it's possibly because the film will have nothing to do with Eric Van Lustbader's novel (the fourth in the series; Lustbader continued the novels after Robert Ludlum's death). Lustbader's Legacy involved Bourne, some Chechen terrorists and a bacteriological weapon, but Gilroy says that, "It's a completely original screenplay, and we will not be using that story."
Thankfully though, we don't seem to be looking at a Next Generation or a Son of Bourne. Gilroy insists that, "This is not a reboot, it's a whole new chapter. The easiest way to think of it is an expansion or a reveal. Jason Bourne will not be in this film, but he's very much alive. What happened in the first three films is the trigger for The Bourne Legacy, and everyone who got into them will be rewarded for paying attention. I'm building a legend and an environment and a wider conspiracy."
"We're going to show you the bigger picture, the bigger canvas," Gilroy says, and concludes, tantalisingly, "The world we're making enhances and advances and invites Jason Bourne's reappearance somewhere down the road..."
Jason Bourne will return. Eventually.
