Product Liability Attorney in Texas
Product liability law involves injuries to people who have been harmed by dangerously defective products. Any entity in the stream of commerce from manufacturers, distributors, suppliers down to retailers can be held liable for those injuries. The Texas product liability attorney will look for one of three general ways that a product might be dangerously defective. Those include:
Manufacturing defects
Design defects
Failure to warn
Manufacturing defects
A manufacturing defect occurs when a single product leaves the manufacturing facility in a condition that's different than all of the other identical products in its line. An error or omission during the manufacturing process makes that one particular product different from all of the others in the market.
Design defects
Defects in the design of a product don't involve an error or omission involving a single item in the manufacturing process. They involve the entire product line, notwithstanding the fact that they were manufactured with the strictest adherence to specifications.
Failure to warn
These involve claims that a product is dangerous to a person using it in a way that isn't obvious when used in a manner consistent with its intended use. This might involve a solvent that can be harmful if used without a respirator. Warnings or instructions for safely using the product should appear on or inside its packaging.
With any product liability case, you're required to show that the product was defectively dangerous, and that it was the cause of your injury. Upon that showing, strict liability can attach. Nearly all defenses are stripped away. Be sure to save the product and contact your Texas product liability immediately. Product liability is a very complex area of personal injury law. Most lawyers don't handle these cases. You'll want to retain a knowledgeable and experienced Texas product liability attorney immediately.

First there was the debate: Taylor Hall or Tyler Seguin.
And there was more debate: Seguin should play more or Seguin shouldn't play at all.
While the Bruins didn't have to make a decision in the first debate — Edmonton's selection of Hall first overall at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft left Seguin for Boston — the Bruins found an answer somewhere in the middle of the second discussion.
Seguin got less playing time over the course of the season, but he did what he could with what he was given. As a 19-year-old rookie, he said all the right things in public and worked hard in practice. When the time came to make an impact on the sport's biggest stage, he took advantage of his first taste of the playoffs.
While other '10 first-round picks around the league put up better numbers, and Seguin wasn't even the most productive rookie on his own team with Brad Marchand around, the chance to live and learn around NHLers during a run to the Stanley Cup championship had to be a boost to his development.
At the very least, he got to be part of one of the biggest celebrations in sports history.
Regular season: 74 GP, 11-11-22, minus-4
Playoffs: 13 GP, 3-4-7, plus-5
Contract status: Signed through 2012-13 at a $3.55 million cap hit (including bonuses)
Best regular-season moment: The start of one of the most famous Garden chants ever came Oct. 28 with Toronto in the house. Seguin scored his first home-ice goal in the Bruins' 2-0 victory, which featured the crowd's taunting of the Maple Leafs' organization with screams of "Thank You Kessel." After that game, the Bruins informed Seguin he would stay with them beyond the nine-game tryout period for junior-eligible players.
Best playoff moment: There weren't too many to pick from considering Seguin was a healthy scratch for the first 11 games of the postseason. But when he stepped in for an injured Patrice Bergeron against Tampa Bay in the Eastern Conference Final, Seguin notched a goal in Game 1 as an appetizer. The main course came two nights later in Game 2, as he scored twice and added two assists (he was plus-3). Even though Seguin didn't score another goal the rest of the playoffs, he had left his mark on Boston's remarkable run.
Worst moment: In a sign of how scant his minutes would be over the course of the season, Seguin logged just 6:30 of ice time in a loss at Atlanta Dec. 30. Asked to come off the bench cold in the shootout, Seguin missed his attempt.
Regular-season grade: B-minus
Playoffs grade: B. He managed to pick up his defensive game even though he stopped scoring after Game 2 against Tampa.
Carnac predicts … Seguin will earn a spot in Boston's top six next season and become productive even if he doesn't reach superstar status just yet.

The State of the Cookie
It's hard to imagine a world without Thin Mints! Although everyone I know is cutting back in one way or another, I think this could still be a good year for cookies. Butter is dear this season, to be sure, but that makes the gift of something baked all the more considerate. And after all, homemade cookies are both more frugal and more fragrant than fine leather goods or cashmere mittens.
In terms of innovation, I think Dorie is right that even with tweaks like mesquite (!) flour, it's the basics that make a cookie great. Even working within Fran Gage's sweet quartet of basic baking ingredients (sugar, almonds, eggs, and butter), there are plenty of decisions we can make to improve the state of our cookies. I grew up in a household that allowed only Blue Bonnet margarine in the butter compartment of the fridge—at the time, it was considered a healthy choice—and I still marvel at the sea change that took place when I started cooking with butter. Talk about an innovation! Beyond that, over the past decade or so we've watched our chocolate get better, our access to organic eggs and higher-fat butter grow, and our sugar options diversify.
And on the subject of sugar and butter and health: Dorie and David, I agree that cookies can be part of a healthful diet, even as I stay wary of "healthy" cookies. For the most part, I've been doing my best to replace mediocre sweets with smaller bites of more intensely flavored goodies. One delicious square of brownie is better—and, I wager, better for you—than omega-3 fortified biscuits by the handful. The more one can consciously appreciate the workmanship in a cookie— the shattering brown-sugar crisp of a lace cookie, the candied nougat chew of the inside of a meringue, or the anise fragrance of a biscochito—the easier it is to be satisfied with just three or four bites of goodness.
That reminds me: Much has been made of artisanal foods over the past decades. We shouldn't forget (and I'm sure neither of you do) that as home bakers, we are all artisans. That's true whether one is passing on long-standing traditions like Bubbie's mandelbrot or Aunt Pearl's bourbon balls or seeing whether oatmeal cookies could be even better with candied ginger and goji berries. Thanks so much for your wit and your passion, Dorie and David—I can't wait to see what you each bake next.

Russia will probably leave interest rates unchanged for a seventh month as inflation holds more than a percentage point above above the central bank's target range.
The refinancing rate will remain at 8.25% when policy makers meet in Moscow on April 2, according to 17 of 21 economists in a Bloomberg survey. Four forecast a quarter-point cut. The overnight and one-week auction-based repurchase rates, the main instruments used to provide banks with cash, will be held at 5.5% and the deposit rate will stay at 4.5%, two other surveys showed.
Inflation that reached an 18-month peak is hamstringing a move by policy makers to use monetary stimulus to lift an economy expanding at the weakest pace since 2009. Chairman Sergey Ignatiev, whose final term ends in June, has said he'd consider cutting rates once inflation falls as the government considers widening the regulator's mandate to promote economic growth.
"As far as easing, I think it's more likely to spur inflation than growth," Sergey Shvetsov, a deputy chairman of the central bank, said today in Moscow at a conference organized by the Vedomosti newspaper. Russian corporate loan rates, adjusted for inflation, are comparable with European borrowing costs at about 3%, he said.
The average rate on ruble-denominated loans to companies was 10.2% in February, up from 10% a month earlier and a 2012 low of 9.2%, central bank data show. Inflation accelerated to 7.3% in February from a year earlier.
FRAs, NDFs
Three-month borrowing costs may rise three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, in the next three months, down from an increase of as much as 15 basis points on March 27, according to forward-rate agreements tracked by Bloomberg. The ruble added 0.2% to 31.0245 against the dollar.
Yields calculated based on non-deliverable ruble forwards today showed one-month rates tumbling 36 basis points since March 19 to 6.28% as of 5:10 p.m. in Moscow. The ruble advanced for the first time in three days against the dollar, appreciating 0.2% to 31.0350.
The central bank left all rates unchanged for a sixth month on March 15, saying inflation remained at 7.3% in early March -- unchanged from February. It also cited factors including a surge in food costs and prices regulated by the state. The economy continues to show some signs of deceleration, the regulator said.

McPherson College's men's soccer team plays to 1-1 tie.
McPherson College's football team wasn't the only one to be involved in a heart-breaker Saturday.
The Bulldog men's soccer team was leading No. 8-ranked MidAmerica Nazarene 1-0 on a goal by Ricardo Tavarez and headed for an apparent upset victory when the Pioneers' Alvaro Beltran scored as the clock was running out.
The teams then battled through two scoreless overtimes, as the game ended in a 1-1 tie. MidAmerica had entered the game 6-0-3.
The Pioneers held a slight 21-17 advantage in shots. Mac's Taylor Parrott had four saves in goal.
Mac is now 4-1-1 on the year.
MIDAMERICA WOMEN 3, MAC 2, OT — Kyndra Ziegler's goal 2:50 into overtime gave MidAmerica the win.
Mac twice overcame a one-goal deficit to tie. Down 1-0, Mac's Cheyna Buchman scored to knot the game before the Pioneers' Brittany Matthews put MidAmerica back up 2-1 five minutes later. Near the end of the first half, Gabriela Navarro scored for Mac to make it 2-2.
MidAmerica had a 19-13 advantage in shots. Molly Whitwell had seven saves in goal for the Bulldogs, now 1-4-2 on the year.
Both Mac teams are home Wednesday against Manhattan Christian, the women playing at 5 p.m. and the men at 7:30.

College of Education hosts 37th annual Pacific Circle Consortium ConferenceUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Communications Coordinator, College of Education
The Curriculum Research & Development Group (CRDG) at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa's College of Education (COE) hosted the Pacific Circle Consortium's (PCC) 37th annual conference at the UHM Hawai'i Imin Conference Center from June 3-7, 2013.
During the five-day event, participants examined the conference theme, "Sharing Perspectives—International Conversations about Education: Recurring Themes in PCC." With more than 40 sessions, which featured prominent scholars, award-winning writers from the COE, and University Laboratory School students, participants came from the Pacific, Mexico, New Zealand, Australia, South Korea, Vietnam, Taiwan, Fiji, Sāmoa, Japan and the United States.
The PCC bestows two awards each year – the Peter Brice Award and the Arthur King Jr. Curriculum Innovation Award, named for one of PCC's founding members.
The Peter Brice award is presented by the conference host country to an individual who best exemplifies the aims of the organization. This year's recipient was Robert Witt, the Executive Director of the Hawaiʻi Association of Independent Schools (HAIS) and CEO of the Hawaiian Education Council. He has 40 years of experience in the field of education and is a national leader focused on transformative leadership, generative governance and teacher professionalism.
Said COE Dean Don Young, "Robert exemplifies the qualities for which we honor Peter Brice, who represented New Zealand in the early days of the PCC. The PCC Executive Committee created this award as a credit to Peter's wisdom, humanity and lifelong commitment to educational ideals. The selection of Robert Witt was an obvious choice."
The Arthur King Jr. Curriculum Innovation Award is presented to an individual or group for developing an innovative, effective program or curriculum focusing on the Asia-Pacific region. Receiving this award was David Grossman, an Adjunct Senior Fellow at the East-West Center, former Dean of Education at Chaminade University, and former Head of the Department of Social Science and Dean of the Faculty of Languages of Arts and Science at the Hong Kong Institute of Education. He directed three global education programs that are recognized both nationally and globally
CRDG Director Kathleen Berg commented, "A contemporary of Arthur King, David Grossman exemplifies the values and work celebrated by this award. As a participant and supporter of the PCC for many years, his work has enriched the consortium. Dr. King, who was the founding director of CRDG, would have been very pleased that Dr. Grossman was selected for this award."
The Pacific Circle Consortium was established in 1977 as an initiative in international co-operation between educational research and development institutions in the Pacific Region initially drawn from Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries. Membership has since been extended to other countries from within this region and from Asia. The focus has also changed from one of collaboratively produced curriculum materials to broader issues of policy development and educational research.

Police are investigating if the same person who stole a car Thursday from the Butler Memorial Hospital parking garage in Butler may have stolen a van from Virginia the previous day.
Meanwhile, Virginia authorities are looking into the possibility that the same thief may have stolen a vehicle from Georgia before taking the van.
"We're investigating this as a theft for transportation," said Butler County Detective John Hertzog, who is assigned to the state police Auto Theft Task Force.
Hertzog has been in contact with the Albemarle County Police Department near Charlottsville, Va., about the stolen Ford Econoline, which he plans to help search today at the state police barracks in Butler Township.
The van turned up on the third-floor of the hospital parking garage after Butler police were called there about 7:30 p.m. Thursday for a stolen car report
An employee had gone to get his car but it was gone, police said. The car is a white, four-door, 1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, with the Pennsylvania license plate DCV1801.
Hospital security officers, while helping police, noticed a green Ford Econoline in the space next to where the stolen car had been parked.
"The van had its ignition ripped out," according to a police report.
A check found that it was listed as stolen in the National Crime Information Center database.
Hertzog sad the van was stolen Wednesday from a parking lot in Albemarle County.
Anyone with information about the stolen Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera is asked to call Butler police at 724-287-7743 or state police at 724-284-8100.

It looks like he is archiving his caches.
What/who is provoking hiders into mass removal of caches?!? MI's caches are amongst the best in the province, and take a bit of planning to get to. We have enjoyed the adventures so far and were looking forward to going for the ones further a field as our team grows to be more mobile (i.e. our son starts to leave us in the dust). Is there an inevitable souring to the activity as people get it out of their system? This seeming trend is very disturbing, surely there is enough real estate in Manitoba that everyone can get along?
It does seem kinda strange....I have actually done one of his caches, and there wasn't anything wrong with it.
There seems to be a lot of debate as of late, about cache quality. Some people don't like micros, some don't like puzzle caches, etc. This shouldn't be a problem though because the cache listings indicate the size/type of cache, as well as who placed it.
If you don't like micros, don't look for them! If you decide to look for them, don't complain about them.
Although micros aren't my favorite, I still look for them if I'm going to be in the area. I've never posted a negative comment about any cache I've found, I'm just happy people are putting them out there.
A couple of my caches have netted the odd negative comment-FTF too cheap looking, didn't like area cache was in....I'm not going to let that deter me though.
I hope this archiving and removing caches isn't becoming a trend.....
this isnt cool man,,,, lets just keep out thoughts to ourselves as finders, with out hiders we would be with out sport.
MHz wrote:
I've had trouble in the past where I thought keeping one of my caches just wasn't worth the effort but I never thought of yanking it. The furthest thought I got to was replacing it so it's a typical traditional cache.
If you do that, people who had to find it the hard way will complain that you've made it too easy now for the rest of them. You just can't win.
I think people just like to complain sometimes. The key is to not take it personally. We all have caches that we like and we all have caches that we dislike. I can honestly say that of the 1800+ finds I have, there is only one that I can think of that I felt needed to be removed, or at least have the description changed to have it make sense. It was a hide in Rochester, where the owner tried to make very difficult, but really all he did was make it so vague that it was impossible to tell what you needed to do.
I can relate to Kabuthunk's frustration at Mayor of Winnipeg - St. Boniface since I spent a great deal of time looking for that micro in the woods. That doesn't mean I think he should pull that cache though. I actually very much enjoyed going after the Mayor of Winnipeg series of caches.
I also don't believe that the MBGA is out there trying to be the cache police as PBD is implying. If individual members of the Executive are making comments, it's based on their personal beliefs, not with the support of the MBGA.
They are, however, trying to educate people on how to place quality caches. For example, why put a micro where an ammo can could easily go? Or that used peanut butter jars can attract wildlife muggles, so it's better to use a container that has never been used to store food.
polarbeardiggers wrote:
as a hider who has spent alot of money and time placing caches for the open public to enjoy has no room or patience for grumpy crass cache logs.
I find this interesting PBD since I actually took offence to some of the logs you posted on the caches my mom and I placed up near Gimli. For example, when you referred to our cache "What's the Point" as "What's the Point of Looking". I never considered deleting your log though. I just chalked it up to having a different sense of humour than I.
Perhaps we all need to consider when we are writing our logs, how it might sound to the person who, as PBD said, has spent a lot of time and money to place that cache there. As has been mentioned several times already - without the hiders, there would be nothing for us to find.
I think what we need is a giant "how to place caches" kinda learning session, or at least page on the board. I'm sure I myself would learn a lot from it, as would others (see my most recent rant... other topic).
Definitely, the micro-in-forest can be frustrating, but definitely shouldn't be removed for it. People will rant about it. I know I did. But people will rant about anything. If they've had a hard day... they'll need to find the smallest detail to yell about, just so they can vent. It's human nature (I think). Because one person's mad doesn't mean you should remove the fun from everyone else.
Note: I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize if anyone's been offended or irritated with my recent rants. Lotsa personal stuff going on... nerves have been getting a little frazzled lately. If anyone would like me to either modify anything I've written anywhere, or apologize at any point, please don't hesitate to ask, I would be glad to oblige.

Check out the Geocacher University site: http://www.geocacher-u.com/ It has some great information for hiding and finding caches. I agree it would be nice to compile a list here of the do's and don'ts for hiding a cache.

Summer is here! The weather is perfect for gathering with friends and family, barbequing, enjoying the variety of available fresh fruits and vegetables, roasting marshmallows for s'mores, and just having a good ol' time.
At all of my parties and get-togethers, I like to serve food on a stick. Whether it's a juicy chicken kabob, a refreshing fruit skewer or a sweet marshmallow pop, it's just more fun to eat it this way. I love doing this because it allows me to creatively display the food and it's easy for guests to grab and go. Another thing that I like serving at my events are dips. From a yummy guacamole, a hot spinach dip, a zesty salsa, or a savory sauce, it's just fun to dip food and enjoy all the flavors combining in your mouth. Dips aren't only for chips and bread! One of my favorite dips to make is fruit dip which pretty much goes with any fruit during any season.
For a deliciously cool summer dessert, I like to make fruit dip. It's creamy and sweet and everyone likes it (especially my sons). These STARMALLOWS Strawberry Dippers are my boys' favorite. They absolutely love marshmallows. When I want to make them an extra special treat, I make these. Juicy fruit, fluffy marshmallows and a creamy dip, what's not to love?!
STARMALLOWS Strawberry Dippers
1 jar of JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme
1 package of PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese
1 tsp. of pure vanilla extract
12 JET-PUFFED STARMALLOWS Marshmallows
12 strawberries
12 6-inch lollipop sticks
MIX JET-PUFFED Marshmallow Creme, PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese and vanilla extract until well blended.
WASH and dry strawberries. Cut off green stem.
INSERT lollipop stick into JET-PUFFED STARMALLOWS Marshmallows and push marshmallow down about a 1/2-inch. Insert lollipop stick into pointy end of strawberry.
For recipes and more visit my blog at www.TheMarshmallowStudio.com.
Who doesn't like a tasty treat on a stick? These, made with strawberries and marshmallows, have an additional attraction: They're super quick to make!

(Editor's Note: This is the eighth in a series of features titled "You Voted. Now What?" highlighting some of our nation's most inspiring and successful young activists. Through these stories we hope to explore a range of ways to channel some of the prodigious political energy unleashed during the Obama campaign. All features are produced in partnership with the Student Nation.)
Twenty-f0ur-year-old Brandon "Abdullah" Willis never expected to be providing vocational training to at-risk youth, meeting with congressmen about environmental policy or guiding groups of urban teens in electoral canvassing. But Abdullah's work, as manager of audio production at Elementz youth center in Cincinnati, Ohio, has grown far beyond the hip-hop music that first drew him to activism.
Abdullah began working at Elementz full time in 2006. Formed by Gavin Leonard and Islord Allah in 2005, Elementz is a community center that provides a safe, positive space for urban youth to go after school to hone their talents, socialize and keep out of trouble. The name comes from the four elements of hip-hop culture–DJing, emceeing, graffiti and breakdancing. Urban youth, ages 14-24, can come to the center for free, professional instruction, high-quality studios, supplies and leadership opportunities.
Through Elementz, Abdullah has participated in peace summits against violence at Cincinnati City Hall, hosted dialogues about sexual health and mentored other community leaders. "We focus on the assets of what these young people bring instead of the deficiencies," he says. He also guides "The Lead," a monthly, youth-led showcase that features performances by Elementz artists from all four disciplines of hip-hop. The performances all center on a constructive, relevant theme.
Growing up in Columbus, Ohio, Abdullah became familiar with the sorts of challenges urban teens face. He watched his peers on the basketball court fall into destructive addictions, teen parenthood and trouble with the law. But his father, Chris Powell (a successful musician and producer), his mother, Randi Willis (a nurse) and his step-father, Russell Willis, made sure Abdullah stayed on a constructive path. They pushed him to stay focused on school and athletics.

The TL284x and TL384x series of control integrated circuits provide the features that are
necessary to implement off-line or DC-to-DC fixed-frequency current-mode control schemes, with a

The volatile issue of teaching creation science in public schools popped up in the Alaska governor's race this week when Republican Sarah Palin said she thinks creationism should be taught alongside evolution in the state's public classrooms.Palin was answering a question from the moderator near the conclusion of Wednesday night's televised debate on KAKM Channel 7 when she said, 'Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of information. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both.'...Asked for her personal views on evolution, Palin said, "I believe we have a creator."She would not say whether her belief also allowed her to accept the theory of evolution as fact.
She's also a global warming skeptic: http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/8/29/124640/036/945/578739
I can tell, you're one of those 'elites', right? What's wrong with teaching all sides of the story?
Here's my prediction: McCain wins by a 15% margin because bigots and religious fanatics vote and young people don't.
Quote from: Hermes on August 29, 2008, 08:30:37 PMHere's my prediction: McCain wins by a 15% margin because bigots and religious fanatics vote and young people don't.I see things different, many evangelists will not vote because of their options. McCain is divorced and has a woman VP, they will say Palin's 17yo daughter would not be pregnant if her mother had taken her biblical role as god had intended. They will not vote for a democrat because of the abortion issue.
I think many woman will vote who may not of because of the abortion issue. Paul White(86) and Ruth Ginsberg (75) are probably the next two to retire from the Supreme Court. A republican president naming two more conservatives to the SC would make 7-2 conservative majority. RoeVWade would disappear. Americans have short memories though, I may be wrong. I thought Terry Shiavo case would convince people of the need to separate religion from government but Bush was still re-elected.

Tonight was spectacular. An eve that simply transcended time and location, couldn't have been any better had we been on the California coast. Pulling up to Dornick, we were greeted by a stretch limo, lit inside, the slightly etched glass design framing the familiar trees and landmarks beyond. Settling back, the various attendees chatted, some were familiar, some new faces. Turning into the drive, the sun's first peek from behind the clouds cast a glow across the pond, rather a lake.
The old Rod and Gun Club, newly renovated, fiercely loved. Samantha and David Crook have brought this place to new life. Glancing out, birds hovered mid air, their reflection shimmering against the ripples a small breeze created. Lights twinkled against the darkened water, a long winding wood bridge built Tahitian style, bright blue orbs dangled in the gazebo centered between the two bridges. Hot pink bouganvilla lined the path, adding to the illusion that you had been transported to a tropical isle. Pulling up, the sites and sounds of a band setting up electrify the air with the school girl excitement of live music. Friends from years past, faces not seen for while, and smiles of friends well known intertwined amidst a Sonoma Valley style courtyard. Several living areas created our seats for this outdoor venue. Stepping across a small rock walkway, a cascading waterfall, our own Bellagio, sang a soft murmer to us as we passed. Our sommelier stood ready, offering savory wines such as "Steakhouse" Cabernet, delicious and crisp. Two Frogs added spice to our eve serving up Jambalaya and cornbread, "Naw Oleans" style. To ward off the chill, heaters and a fireplace welcomed cold hands to huddle near.
Imagine watching the sun set while listening to music that simply asked you to stay and then made you smile, gave you a naughty thought, brought a memory back...and that is what these muscians did. An eve with Tommy Castro..
Just another simple night...in our hometown.

Seventy-three years ago this month, a strange new vision arrived in American pop culture, a brawny figure in blue with a flowing red cape and the ability to leap tall buildings in a single bound. The character of Superman has flown on into film, television, video games and every imaginable corner of entertainment, but he's always remained tethered to his first home – Action Comics has been published every month since June 1938 and, in April, became the only American comic book title to reach a 900th issue.
But, in a move that is either audacious or desperate — or a bit of both – DC Comics is making a break, at least in numbering, from the grand old series. In September, celebrated Scottish writer Grant Morrison and rising artist Ralph "Rags" Morales will start the series over with Action Comics No. 1, the 21st century version, which is one part of a huge initiative to a reach a new audience with a new interpretation of the Man of Steel and the DC Universe.
In most DC Comics, Superman is getting a costume makeover, that, as shown at the right, gives him a slightly more cosmic look (the lined blue costume and red belt and boots suggest alien-tech sleekness, and then there's that higher, band collar) and a less Speedo-informed fashion sensibility (he loses the red trunks that he's been wearing since the FDR years). The character will look even more different in Action Comics, judging by the promotional image further down on the right (and published here for the first time anywhere); that image might be the all-terrain version of his costume, or perhaps a one-time flashback to his Kansas farm-boy days?
DC co-publisher and superstar artist Jim Lee might speak to that particular mystery on Saturday when he appears at the Hero Complex Film Festival, the four-day celebration of pop culture, sci-fi and superheroes. Lee will take the stage with Geoff Johns, his collaborator on "Justice League" No. 1, which on Aug. 31 ushers in this whole new renumbering "event" (with 51 titles starting at No. 1 in September) that cannot accurately be described as a reboot of the titles. These will not be new origin stories, for instance, and key moments of the past will be preserved.
In a sense, it's DC the company that is changing more than DC the universe. Dan DiDio, Lee's co-publisher, is well aware of the fan angst in recent weeks, but he has bigger concerns. He is at the top of a publishing enterprise that is finding it hard to connect with young consumers who are far more likely to engage Superman as a video game than in the oh-so-retro pages of an illustrated pamphlet. The bestselling monthly comics sell only in the tens of thousands, even though Batman, the X-Men and Iron Man power billion-dollar franchises for Hollywood studios and toymakers.
"We're trying to move not just the company but even our industry to new areas and new audiences and, hopefully, for a more healthy business — this seemed like the right time and the right moment," DiDio said. "This is a refocusing of the energies of the company into a way that really pushes the medium toward the widest and best audience possible. This isn't about turning around a single character or telling a new story. This is about repositioning the company for the future. What we're trying to accomplish is to widen the breadth of our stories and the appeal of characters and go after different distribution systems."
Along with the new numbering, DC will make all of its titles available digitally via the DC website and the DC apps on the same day they hit the shelves at comic-book shops. That's a seismic moment in the industry, and DiDio joked on Thursday that he might be working on his resume if this brave and bold charge into the unknown falls flat.
The numbering of comic book issues is an especially tender subject, and it goes beyond the obvious and considerable weight of tradition. Collectors also covet the first issue of a popular series, so the move by DC has been called a cynical stunt by many. DiDio says those fans are missing the bigger picture. "It's more than over-boiled, I think they're underestimating what this is that we're doing," DiDio said.
One thing that is clear: Among the top heroes, none of them will change more than Superman and Wonder Woman. The changes, such as a notable but still-secret shift in the status quo at the Daily Planet, will be met with fan ranting, but of course that's part of the relationship here. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy, and DiDio and his team will be more worried when fans aren't debating comics and their true or proper mythology.
It's routine for DC and rival Marvel Comics to selectively ignore years of published history; the lives of characters like Superman and Spider-Man are like the most famous beaches of the world — you recognize them when you see them, but on closer inspection they change constantly with the times, the tides and the Spandex fashion sensibilities. In the 1990s alone, Superman endured marriage, death and a mullet haircut, all changes made by editors, writers and artists looking for some new way to spark reader interest.
This feels different, though. And, through all of those changes, the venerable Action Comics kept going, the sun that always came up on the shifting sands of that creative coastline. That ends with issue No. 904 in August, and plenty of fans are upset about it. But Lee says that during the last few weeks, as DC has rolled out the new plan in a series of dramatic announcements, he has watched the fan and retailer reaction go from angry knee-jerk to an intrigued engagement. Lee, perhaps the most popular artist in all of comics the past 25 years, said the tide of fan opinion is turning and that he's seeing people "retract some of the early statements."
The stab into the digital marketplace, and retooling characters to shed decades of back story, is to make the comics stories accessible for all those consumers who have never read a comic book but might consider it after watching the "Smallville" series finale, seeing "The Dark Knight" on cable television or noticing all the new billboards with Ryan Reynolds in the glowing emerald costume of the Green Lantern.
DC and Lee learned with a recent (and unrelated) Wonder Woman costume redesign that fans and pundits get stirred up by any change to the iconography of heroes, but he said those risks must be taken on because new generations tend to smirk when they see the tights-and-capes look that seemed so cutting edge in the radio days of the 1940s. He said a "certain level of fearlessness" is needed among the artists, who should be inspired by the past but not paralyzed by it.
"If you do it right, you want the character to be recognized as the iconic characters they are, but at the same time you want to update some sensibilities … if you've been reading comics for a very long time, you can kind of overlook the bright colors and the design. You internalize them and see them as normal or acceptable," Lee said. "If you saw someone walking down the street in that, you would view it as odd … [so] when they were interpreted and put on screen and in video games, modifications were made, and now the question is why in the world of comics should we be any more beholden to these designs?"
Lee points out that the history of Superman is really a thousand different histories that stretch across media. "Part of the fun of comic books is it's not just one iconic book that is set in stone forever. It's a massive, decades-long collaborative work that is unlike any other work in the history of literature. And that's one of the things we love about it."

The Washington Post returns to the scene of its sideswipe of Harriet Miers last week in reporting on the exchange between Senator Leahy and Harriet Miers regarding her favorite justices: "Warren? Or Burger? A matter of judgment." I noted the anecdote involved here in "A tale of two Warrens" and followed up in "The K-Lo clarification." The lede in today's Post article declares:
This much is clear: One of the former Supreme Court justices most admired by nominee Harriet Miers is Warren E. Burger. But just how quickly Miers recalled his full name and whether she ever referred to him simply as "Warren" is now a matter of dispute.
The article adds that, according to Senator Leahy's spokesman Tracy Schmaler, Miers also named Oliver Wendell Holmes to her pantheon of favorite justices. It is a detail that was lacking in the Post's original story.
Among conservatives of a certain stripe (my own), Holmes is the Supreme Court justice who is notorious for having declared in upholding a state eugenics program that "[t]hree generations of imbeciles are enough." He was a nihilist whose thought (and aphorisms) have proved serviceable to nearly all branches of contemporary legal thought. See Michael Uhlmann's review/essay "The Darwinian mind and faith of Justice Holmes."
The role of Senator Leahy's colleagues or aides in retailing the Warren story — raising the possibility that Miers may have been referrig to Earl Warren — seems to me a variation of the role played by Senator Durbin's office in retailing a similarly malicious story about John Roberts. Today's Post story treats the issue as something of a lark, noting that Burger is not highly regarded for anything other than judicial administration — the matter on which Miers allegedly held him in high regard.
In this story the Post does not explore the related theme of "elitism" that has been used against some of the critics of the Miers nomination. In Minnesota, Burger is famous for having worked his way through law school while attending the St. Paul (now William Mitchell) College of Law, which was a night school for working students when he graduated from it in 1931. His fellow Minnesotan and friend Harry Blackmun of course attended Harvard Law School. However mediocre a justice Burger was, I would rate him a giant of intellect and grace next to Blackmun.
Miers's brief discussion of her favorite justices with Senator Leahy puts me most in mind of Warren Zevon's urgent plea in "Lawyers, Guns and Money" to "get me out of this."

After discussing the crowing of roosters, the Mancos Town Board voted against regulating the birds inside town limits last Wednesday. The town sent out a survey on the issue, but town board members agreed to leave the birds be.
"I enjoy hearing the roosters in the morning, the dogs bark and the cows across the field," Trustee Queenie Barz said.

Dolores County may be able to find a way around the discontinued Eagle Net problem. the statewide, grant-funded effort to plumb every school district in the state with fiberoptic cable was brought to a stand still late last summer when the organization that controls the funds accused planners of not completing an environmental assessment after making changes to the route of the cable.

"The water situation is very grim. It is very real, and we need to make sure that our citizens understand that," said councilman Kelly Laws at the April 9 meeting of the Blading City Council.
"At this point in time, we are not going to initiate watering restrictions," added Laws, "but it is something that could be done in the future."
As a result, the Council strongly encourages residents to voluntarily initiate water conservation efforts, particularly as they relate to lawn watering.
"If we can control the waste, we can probably stay afloat," added Laws.

OK. let's start with home and house:
What your teacher is saying makes sense. A home is a place where you have created a living for yourself, you are attached to it emotionally, it somehow becomes a part of you - it carries the notion of comfort, security, happiness and the like.
Edgar A. Guest said this about a house and a home ( an American poet):
"It takes a heap o livin' in a house to make it home".
House is more like a structure - there's no particular emotional aspect to it.
There is a saying that goes: A house in which nobody lives is nobody's home.
A house will turn into a home once there are people in it that will create their own special environment for themeselves.
It's also important to remember that people make their homes in places other than houses like caves, cliff dwellings, huts, igloos, wigwams, etc. It's what you make of that place that counts and is special enough to call it a home.
All the info you have on motels and hotels is right. Motels are close to highways for easy access, they much smaller than hotels and therefore cheaper to run.
You will find a good explanation on Guru:

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Officials in Akron say the city's website and internal systems have been hacked -- and names, Social Security numbers and credit card numbers were compromised.
Deputy Mayor Rick Merolla said the attacks, apparently by a Turkish group that has claimed credit, got past the city's firewall sometime Thursday.
Merolla tells the Akron Beacon Journal (http://bit.ly/12FMpOb ) that it appears the hackers got into the city's internal systems and were able to access taxpayer information and tax preparer information. Some hacked files were posted on the Internet.
He said the city is working with the FBI's cybercrimes unit on the situation.
Merolla said all the firewalls were up to date, and he's "perplexed" as to how the hacking occurred. He said he doesn't think the city was targeted specifically.

The unsexiest day of my life came three days after I became a mom, when my husband caught me trying to express milk out of my newly engorged breasts with a manual pump.
Ca-thunk. Ca-thunk.
I hadn't slept in three days. I hadn't showered in four. My eyes were too puffy for my contacts, and my hair was shoved back in a scrunchie. Milk dripped down my stomach and pooled on the bedspread. Every ten minutes or so I'd start weeping again.
I looked up to see my husband, Luke, watching me. He held our newborn daughter in his arms, looking as handsome as I'd ever seen him. He smiled.
"Don't look at me!" I shrieked, and scurried to hide myself in the bathroom. Motherhood is many things, but sexy it ain't. This doesn't matter in the early days, since your baby wants you and your body for the comfort and nourishment it provides her -- and let's face it, she's the only one who matters in the beginning.
At some point, however, the woman you used to be before you became a mother will peek out of her hiding place and demand some time. Once you're getting some regular, uninterrupted sleep every night, the way is paved for the return of your sensual side. You might find yourself enjoying the view as your husband dresses for work in the morning. Or maybe you'll simply linger a bit too long on Colin Farrell's handsome mug on the cover of a magazine.
Either way, the return of these amorous impulses usually heralds an assessment of your current state. Hair? Body? Wardrobe? Yikes! New moms, bleary of eye and soggy of T-shirt, all ask the very same question: "Will I ever feel desirable again?"
The answer is yes. But you've got to take the steps to reclaim your inner babe. The first one: Banish any guilt for taking away time from the kids. After all, paying attention to the non-mom side of you lets you be a better mother, says Valerie Raskin, M.D., author of Great Sex for Moms, an associate clinical professor of psychiatry at the University of Chicago, and a mom of three kids. So whether that means a regular night out with your girlfriends or buying some new clothes to show off your extra-round body, do it without a second's thought. A happy mom means a happy family.
What can you do to feel like your old attractive self again? Some ideas that moms say worked wonders for them:
Indulge Yourself
Splurge on a new outfit (or two).
The best post-pregnancy advice I got came on the heels of my son's birth three years ago. I was complaining to my friend Julia about how bad all of my clothes looked on me. "That's because your clothes are for a skinny, flat-chested woman," she said. "You have to show off your new attributes." Realizing she was right, I picked up a few cute dresses that played up my newfound cleavage while hiding my larger tummy and hips. Bingo! I have to admit my feminine ego appreciated the admiring glances I got as I pushed my two kids in the stroller.
"Buy some clothes that look good on you now," says Dr. Raskin. "And never think that by buying size fourteen pants you're saying you won't get back into size tens."
Even if you've lost weight, your body won't return to its exact proportions, so work with what you have. Lori Woehrle, a mom of two in Washington, DC, uses her much smaller bust size as a good reason to wear tight or low-cut shirts. "Making the most of what I've got helps me feel more like the young woman I once was," she says.
Be good to yourself. With her second child, Deb Widner of Columbus, Ohio, gained back all the weight she'd lost, plus some. But she realized it was a waste of energy trying to live up to society's idea of what's hot. "I wanted my mom identity, but I wanted my sexual identity as well," she says. "I don't think the two are separate."
So she treated herself well: sexy new nighties; long, frothy baths after the kids were down; massages -- all helped her feel like her old luscious self. "I look in the mirror and I'm not perfect," she says. "But I feel better about who I am now than I did at eighteen, because I'm more in tune with myself."
Reclaim Your Body
Take a class.
Many mothers say that just the simple act of spending some time to exercise was the key to feeling attractive again. Kellie Coulson-Davis of Wasilla, Alaska, swears by yoga. "During those sessions, I think of nothing but how powerful and strong my body is," she says. "I feel as good now as I did in college."
Holly Shaw, a single mom in Oakland, California, resumed her flamenco dancing soon after her son's birth. "This is the one thing I have to look forward to all week that's just about me," she says. While she stomps away, her 9-month-old kicks to the beat from his car seat on the sidelines.
Find some motivation. For Kerri Langbehn of El Cerrito, California, it's the size-8 bikini that she bought and tacked on her wall. "I'm looking forward to wearing that bikini and being one hot momma with my little girls!" she says, so she walks at least a mile a day and exercises while her daughters are at preschool or at the park with her husband on weekends. Another perk: "I feel fantastic -- I have way more energy than I used to," she says.
Turn Your Brain Back On
Try a hobby.
Feeling sensual means different things to different women -- for some it's a body thing, for others it's all in the mind. But any activity that takes you away from the all-consuming task of caring for a small child can open the door to other aspects of your old self, including the sexual one.
Linda Benning of Raleigh, North Carolina, recently took up quilting. "I try to do it for two to three hours at a stretch," she says. "I'm still learning to let go and concentrate on something other than the kids for that period, but it's going great."
Lose yourself in a novel.
"It's hard to find time to read a book with a four-year-old and a two-year-old," says Leanne Lindelof of Cupertino, California. "But carving out time when I could was really important; being sexy for me is about being smart -- particularly when I talk with my husband."
Catch a flick.
"My husband was a film major in college, so we saw a lot of movies before the kids were born," says Lori Woehrle. "Going out to a movie occasionally, even a matinee, helps us reconnect and rekindle the flame: It gives us a chance to talk about something other than our two kids or our jobs."
Think Accessories
Buy a new tote.
At some point you'll realize that you don't need to lug that ugly diaper bag all over the place. Amy West, a mom in Santa Cruz, California, really coveted a red triangle purse, so her husband bought it for her. "It's silly, but when I carry this bag, it makes me feel as if everyone is saying, 'That girl is way too cute and hip to be hiding teething biscuits and a That's Not My Tractor book in that purse.'"
Spring for footwear.
"There are mommy shoes, and there are non-mommy shoes," proclaims Rilka Kelli Feugh of Palm Court, Florida. "Whenever I'm feeling a little too frumpy, I go to the discount shoe store and buy some strappy sandals with bright flowers on them. My husband actually notices the difference in my attitude, and that helps us as a couple."
Go Out Alone
Dine with friends.
Laura-Kate Rurka of Berkeley first ate out when her daughter was a few months old. "It was a good way to catch up with friends," she says. Now her night out with the girls is a regular thing. "I get dressed up and feel for a couple of hours that I'm just another girl out at a great restaurant sipping a cocktail."
Trish Czajak of Cohasset, Massachusetts, finds that her evenings off make her more appreciative of her husband. "No matter how mad I am at him, somebody else can always top my story -- and he ends up looking pretty good by comparison," she says. "Which makes me more open to his advances when I come home."
Play some games.
For a few hours every month, Stacy Day Burst of New Orleans and her pals get together for card games. "I'm very protective of these nights -- they give me just enough of a break that I can return to being a mother and wife again with vigor. And I think it's good for my two daughters to see that I value my friends and friendships," says Burst.
Get away.
When Kellie Gaines of Murrieta, California, got an opportunity to travel to New York City, she decided to leave her 3-year-old at home with her husband. "It was glorious to visit a place I'd always wanted to see without constantly worrying whether my daughter was being entertained or not," she says. Another bonus: "It gave me something new to talk to my husband about -- and that felt like the conversations we used to have in the old days."
Rekindle Romance
Chat up your mate.
I don't know about other men, but Luke becomes extra charming and sexy in e-mails. Sometimes in the course of our daily online banter about work and kids and bills, he goes off on a tangent and I find myself giggling like a girl. Imagine, a crush on my own husband! Another mom I know goes out on "guy" dates with her mate -- beer and a game of pool at the neighborhood bar. Flirting with your husband (or even the cute guy behind you in the checkout line) is simply a matter of remembering what you used to do, before kids made you practical.
Pick a method to tap into your sensual side. Because "anything that helps build a solid marriage is good for your kids," says Dr. Raskin. I'll vouch for that.

BEIRUT (AP) — A powerful explosion ripped through a Syrian border post Thursday near a refugee camp on the border with Turkey, setting cars ablaze and killing at least five people, Syrian opposition activists and Turkish state media said.
The blast believed to have been caused by a car bomb tore through the Bab al-Salama border crossing, also wounding a large number of people taken to hospitals in the Turkish town of Kilis across the border. Thousands of people have fled from Aleppo through the border crossing in recent weeks because of the government's escalated aerial bombardment there.
The exact number of casualties was not immediately clear.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least five people were killed, adding that the number was likely to be larger due to the number of wounded people in critical condition. Nazeer al-Khatib, an activist in Aleppo, said nine people were killed in the car bombing, citing eyewitnesses in the area. Many others were in critical condition, he said.
Turkey's state-run Anadolu agency, meanwhile, reported that the explosion killed at least 10 people.
An online video uploaded by activists showed people ferrying casualties, including a young boy, away from the flames as ambulances rushed to the scene. The video appeared genuine and consistent with Associated Press reporting on the incident.
The Bab al-Salama crossing is controlled by rivals of the al-Qaida breakaway group, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The two sides have engaged in deadly infighting as the al-Qaida splinter group has sought to take over control of the crossing.
Also on Thursday, the relief agency supporting Palestinian refugees resumed food distribution inside the rebel-held district of the Syrian capital that has suffered from crippling shortages of food and medicine for months, a United Nations spokesman said.
The UNRWA announcement comes as Western and Arab nations supporting a U.N. Security Council resolution demanding immediate access across Syria to deliver desperately needed humanitarian aid called for a vote on the measure this week, even though diplomats say Russia is opposed to key provisions.
Chris Gunness, a spokesman for the U.N. agency that administers Palestinian refugee camps around the Middle East, said in a statement that the Syrian government granted access for relief workers to enter Yarmouk on Wednesday after an 11-day halt. He said 280 families received food parcels on Wednesday and that workers are preparing to deliver more food to about 18,000 Yarmouk residents on Thursday.
The Yarmouk refugee camp, located in southern Damascus, is one of the hardest-hit opposition enclaves that have been under tight blockades imposed by forces loyal to President Bashar Assad. More than 100 people have died in Yarmouk since mid-2013 as a result of starvation and illnesses exacerbated by hunger or lack of medical aid, according to U.N. figures.
Supporters of the U.N. aid resolution said the document had been put in its final form late Wednesday, with a vote likely on Friday. It is unclear whether Moscow will veto the resolution or abstain from the vote.
Russia is supporting Assad's government in Syria's nearly 3-year-old conflict. The United States and its allies in Europe and the Persian Gulf are backing most of the opposition that is fighting to oust Assad.
The uprising started as peaceful protests against Assad's rule. It gradually turned into civil war that has increasingly been fought along sectarian lines, pitting predominantly Sunni Muslim rebels against Assad's government that is dominated by Alawites, a sect in Shiite Islam.
The U.N. refugee agency said Thursday that it plans to send its largest aid shipment yet to Syria, with more than 43 shipping containers full of relief supplies. The shipment from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates will travel through the Suez Canal before landing in Tartous, Syria, in about two weeks, UNHCR Senior Logistics officer Soliman Daud said.
He declined to say where the aid would be distributed once in Syria, but said the UNHCR is working with partners on the ground such as the Syrian Red Crescent in the western part of the country.
The shipment which includes jerry cans, sleeping mats, blankets and kitchen utensil sets is intended to help up to 187,500 people inside parts of the war-torn country.
"I'm quite sure the need is bigger than what we will send," Daud told the AP in Dubai.
Also on Thursday, Syrian war planes carried out a series of airstrikes on rebel positions outside the southern city of Quinetra as heavy fighting between government troops and rebels raged in the area, activists said.
The Syrian army has been reinforcing its positions in Quinetra as part of an effort to dislodge rebels from the area that is near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Associated Press writers Zeina Karam and Yasmine Saker in Beirut, Suzan Fraser in Ankara, Turkey, and Aya Batrawy in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, contributed to this report.

Han, PhD
Professor of Periodontics
Department of Periodontics
School of Dental Medicine
Case Western Reserve University
Dr. Han is a Professor of Microbiology in the Department of Periodontics in the School of Dental Medicine at Case University. She is a researcher who studies the relationship between periodontal (gum) diseases and preterm birth. Her research has focused on identifying the ways that the bacteria in the mouth that cause periodontal disease can cause babies to be born too early. This research has been done in mice, which other researchers can use as a model for how the process may work in humans. Dr. Han has published articles in journals like Infection and Immunity, Oral Microbiology Immunology, and the Journal of Molecular Biology. She did her doctoral work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and graduated with a PhD in Microbiology.

This work forms part of an important collection of 80 nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century pictures donated to Mottisfont Abbey through the Art Fund by the distinguished artist and collector Derek Hill CBE.
- Medium:
- Oil on canvas
- Dimensions:
- 53 x 70 cm
- Acquired in:
- 1996
- Presented by:
- Derek Hill through The Art Fund
Leaving school at sixteen to study stage and costume design, he gradually abandoned stage work in favour of painting. Derek Hill is perhaps best known as a portrait artist but was also, in the words of a friend and critic, a master of landscape. As a collector, Derek Hill's interests lay particularly in the work of those artists who inspired him as a painter, and in paintings which reflect an interest in his English, Irish, and Italian contemporaries, with a preference for small paintings of considerable intensity, a quality reflected in his own best work.

The regular summer practice of collecting ferry tickets before boarding the boat went into effect yesterday.

Promptly at 7:30 the curtain rose, and a charming setting was revealed. The graduating class, numbering 21, seated in a semicircle with four of the young men graduates at either end and the young girls in the center. The latter were attired in pretty white gowns each bearing an arm bouquet of bright red roses. Dark curtains on the rear and on the sides, with the class motto "Hodie Non Cras (Today Not Tomorrow), in lavender and silver letters, the class colors, displayed above the stage was very effective . . . .

From the Newport Daily News, June 22, 1981:
The Jamestown Shore Association will discuss the width of the proposed new Jamestown Bridge when it meets Wednesday night at 8. . . . The proposed bridge would be about 77 feet wide, nearly 30 feet wider than the Newport Bridge, which measures 48 feet wide.
Revenues for the Newport Bridge this year have been increased about $400,000, offsetting an increase in expenses of about $100,000. . . . It has taken in $4.3 million in an 11-month period through last month, as opposed to $3.9 million a year ago.

Voluntary water conservation is the first step in the town's water conservation plan.
The Jamestown fireworks display is closer to reality as many community members and organizations have donated to the fund.

DENVER (AP) — Authorities were searching the home of the father of a missing 13-year-old Colorado boy, but they say it doesn't mean the parent is a suspect.
La Plata County Sheriff spokesman Dan Bender says authorities are meticulously searching the home Thursday because it's the last place Dylan Redwine was seen before he disappeared Nov. 19.
Bender says the boy's father has previously allowed investigators to search his property in the mountains near Durango in western Colorado. Authorities say they executed a search warrant as part of procedure.
Dylan Redwine was visiting his dad for Thanksgiving. His mother lives in Colorado Springs.
