What is "Sonic Universe?"
"Sonic Universe" will be a new on-going monthly title set in the "Sonic the Hedgehog" universe. Makes the title pretty apt, ne?
What will SU be about?
SU will cover characters and settings outside of the normal scope of STH. So supporting cast members and "ElseWorld" stories will be here. The sky isn't the limit here - it's the universe!
What will happen to "Sonic X?"
SX had a good, solid run. We're taking our cue from "Seinfeld" and calling it quits while we're ahead. That, and given the nature of SU, it's not entirely impossible we'll never see SX again. Just don't look for it for a while.
We will be going out with a bang, though. More on that in a minute.
When does the awesome start?
I can't reveal the date yet, but you can expect things to get rolling very early 2009.
If it's set in the Prime universe (mostly), will there be cross-overs?
Yes and no. Lemme 'splain...
By its very nature, SU will be in a perpetual cross-over with STH, and visa versa. Events in STH will affect the SU world, and stuff that happens in SU will have consequences in STH. We're trying to make it so you don't have to read both to get what's going on, but it'll still be nice to pick up both books each month.
That said, there will be more direct cross-overs a la the old KTE days. More on that in a minute!
Spoilers? Please?!
This info thread wouldn't be very much fun without them, now would it?
First off, there's going to be a pretty epic cross-over the end of this year. Consider this your check list!
"Bold New Moebius" ends with the epic "Hedgehog Havoc" two-part story. Something will happen in STH#196 that sends Shadow and Metal Sonic away . . .
. . . and into SX#40! "The End" will be the grand, sweeping curtain call for the series. Shadow and Metal Sonic will then be whisked away into . . .
. . . Sonic Universe #1! "Living Weapons" will mark the beginning of the book and its opening story arc.
How are they transported? Where do they wind up in SU#1? Who do they meet? You'll just have to read to find out!
Whoa. So what . . .?
While SU is gearing up, we'll be getting into the Road to #200. Did you think Sonic's "punishment" in STH#192 was light? Did you think I'd let it go that easy? HA!
And y'all have been wondering about Zonic, right?
And do I even need to plug STH#200? STH#175 was just Round One, folks. The final push by our heroes is going to be big, and the results will be affecting the books for literally years to come. That's not hype - that's a promise!
Done now?
Hardly! This is the SU info thread, right? It's time for some closing teases:
- Shadow fans: get ready for a whole bunch of Shadow.
- Knuckles fans: get ready for a whole bunch of Knuckles.
- Do you like it when we fill in little gaps in the history? Get ready.
- It's sure been a long time since we've had a new character on the book, isn't it? You don't have to wait much longer.
- And a whole bunch more . . . but I think I've reached the limit that I can reveal!
It's officially time to geek out!
Well said!
I don't want to rain on jazzyjin's parade, so I'll direct all discussion and further speculation to this thread already in progress.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled forum.
Early previews of SU#1-2 Covers!
(Linked to ensure any quoting of posts doesn't get ridiculous.)

Lonely Planet names the Top 10 trips that should be on every cyclist's wish list:
Otago Peninsula, New Zealand
"With the first half decidedly laid-back and the second portion anything but, the mix of scenery and sweat make this one of the best one-day rides in the country. Starting from university-town Dunedin you soon shed the trappings of the city and succumb to the lure of the open road. "
Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia
"This justifiably renowned cycling route is best-known for the scenery -- breathtaking rocky coastlines, the crystal clear Bras d'Or inland sea and the soaring ridges of the Cape Breton Highlands -- especially in their autumn colours. But adventure-seekers will also be satisfied as gently rolling hills become invigorating mountains with some tough climbs and heart-thumping descents."
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
"By cycling the often overlooked, yet spectacular, far reaches of the northeast corner of Italy, you have the opportunity to intimately discover this earthy region. Along roads that make for easy pedalling, farmers tend their fields in the strong sun, rows of vines cling to voluptuous hill country, and you smell the freshly tilled earth and feel the wind cool the sweat from your face. Then in the evenings, relax in a piazza to sample the region's famous white wines."
Isle of Wight, England
"The Isle of Wight is a cycling paradise that is home to some of Britain's most varied terrain: lush velvet hills rolling into the sea, narrow lanes through tidy hedgerows, deep and mysterious green gullies, and the island's most striking feature, the ridge of white chalk cliffs stretching across its breadth. Although cyclists have been enjoying its outdoor pleasures for decades, it's only been in recent years that Wight has started to attract young and trendy Londoners looking for a romantic weekend by the sea with a buzz -- which gastropubs, slick hotels and a calendar full of festivals now provide."
West Coast Tasmania, Australia
"By rights, Tasmania should be too small to have huge pockets of wilderness, but untouched and untamed lands stretch along its fierce west coast. Cycling land this wild should not come easily and it doesn't, with the hill climbs queuing one after the other -- you will notice them, but not as much as the scenery."
Luberon and Mont Ventoux, France
"Tackling hilly Luberon with a touring load might seem crazy, but several hundred kilometres of well-signed bike paths render it very enjoyable, as do ancient Roman ruins, medieval châteaux and ambrosial wines. This sun-drenched corner of Provence is a mix of manicured vineyards and ancient villages tumbling haphazardly down rocky slopes. Cool pine forests and blue fields of lavender stretch away on either side of the road. But the real goal here is legendary Mont Ventoux, scene of several Tour de France dramas, dominating the landscape and silently luring cyclist-pilgrims to its summit."
San Juan Islands, Washington State
"The ferry conveying you and your trusty steed from Seattle or Anacortes weaves its way calmly, the perfect introduction to the slow, peaceful character of these islands. Awaiting you are forested shorelines, secluded coves, bucolic vistas and quiet roads. Each of the three largest islands, Lopez, Orcas and San Juan, has its own distinctive charm, with historic sites and art galleries. The terrain is hilly, but each can be cycled in a day."
County Clare, Ireland
"Beginning in fertile lowlands flanking the Shannon estuary, this route rolls past golden-sand beaches to the dramatic Cliffs of Moher facing the Atlantic. Next come the music hotbed towns of Milltown Malbay and Doolin, where you enter a pub only if you're in for the long haul -- leaving before the last song is sung seems a monstrous breach of etiquette. From here, progress to the relentlessly grey, yet captivating, limestone expanse of the Burren, reminiscent of a lunar landscape. Then take a sojourn into Yeats country before sauntering back in a loop through County Clare's gentle patchwork countryside."
La Farola, Cuba
"Fascinating Cuba is a delight at helmet level. Try the spectacular nine-kilometre descent along the La Farola highway, from the crest of the Baracoa Mountains down to the south coast. The highway clings to cliffs hung in tropical vegetation, with guard rails protecting you from drop-to-nowhere gorges, before sweeping from one giant limestone ledge to the next, each turn providing a closer vista of wild open ocean. Traditionally, the first stage of the Vuelta Ciclista Cuba (Cuba's answer to the Tour de France) is run over this route."
National Highway 1, Vietnam
"This iconic road runs the length of the narrow country from north to south. It is the most popular cycling route in Vietnam, a long but immensely rewarding trip along the best parts of Vietnam's coastline. The route has some reasonable hills, climaxing in the mighty Hai Van Pass (496 metres) -- with a breathtaking descent as pine-clad mountains loom to the west and the South China Sea vanishes into the east. Take the time along the way to gaze at networks of lush rice fields blanketing the hidden valleys below."

LOS ANGELES -- Let's dispense with any confusion a la Sean Combs (or P. Diddy or Puff Daddy or Puffy or Sean John).
The Rock is now Dwayne Johnson. Period. Not Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson. Or even what may have seemed the inevitable acronym: DtRJ.
In a town where birth names are as disposable as noses, breasts and virgins, the former Calgary Stampeder has dropped his WWE pseudonym altogether, believing moviegoers will still want to smell what he's cooking -- even if his moniker is agreeably dorkier.
Nor is this the only leftover bulk Johnson has shed since retiring from the ring. Physically, the 36-year-old is also decidedly sleeker. As he strides into a media conference at a Beverly Hills hotel, he may still make you feel like a scrawny whelp, but he's far from the muscle-bound hulk who swung a sword as the Scorpion King.
"There was no need for me to carry all that weight," he says of his physique. He could just as easily be talking about his name. "I played football for 10 years and wrestled for an additional five, so a lot of weight was still there out of that. But I changed my training and eventually ... trimmed down a little bit."
And there is this to consider: That after being presumptively anointed cinema's next great action hero, such slam-bang productions as Walking Tall, Doom and The Rundown sputtered at the box office while his greatest success arrived with last year's Disney comedy, The Game Plan.
Given this, it's no surprise to find the macho star again aiming for --not terrorists or thugs -- but laughs in a self-mocking role in Get Smart. He'll then be seen next year in two more family-friendly comedies: Race to Witch Mountain and Tooth Fairy (in which, yes, he has the title role). Intentional or not, Johnson, whose stripped-down frame is better suited for non-machine-gun-toting characters, says this latest twist in his career all feeds into his long-range plans for bankability and, brace yourself, respectability.
"When I first started acting in movies in 2000, my background wasn't in theatre, my parents weren't movie executives -- I didn't have those connections. But I loved movies and thought I had good instincts and loved performing in the world that I came from," he says.
"The goal is always to grow. I love the idea of going from action to drama to comedy back to action and finding hopefully a little bit of success in all these movies. Tom Hanks, Will Smith, George Clooney -- these guys who have this wide foundation of work they do. The goal for me is to be that kind of actor."
One of the reasons he signed on to tomorrow's Get Smart -- in which he plays Agent 23, the slick-operator opposite of bumbling Maxwell Smart -- was to work alongside The Office's Steve Carell and veteran Oscar-winner Alan Arkin.
"It's like being around your favourite professor. That's what those guys were. Alan in particular was just very gracious with his time -- especially with me."
Johnson did have one advantage over his co-stars: Years of experience blowing things up real good. Certainly he was better conditioned and experienced to handle Get Smart's action quotient -- particularly a harrowing, climatic chase involving a runaway SUV, railroad tracks and a helicopter-to-street rescue.
If this sounds curiously intense for a comedy, Johnson believes just because the movie doesn't take itself seriously doesn't mean it can't deliver the same thrills as its straight-faced rivals. They are competing for the same box-office coin, after all.
"There's some high-quality action stuff out there this summer," he reasons.
Still, some stunts proved more challenging than others -- notably the kiss which he shares with not Hathaway, but Carell.
Asked by one journalist to elaborate on the encounter, he laughs.
"Ever had a warm apple pie with cold ice cream? Hey, it was great. Not too many can say that -- that they did a nice big lip-lock with an actor. But Jake Gyllenhaal did it, Will Smith did it -- I thought it was my turn to kiss a man."

When Nick Price won the Toshiba Classic last year there were two firsts he achieved.
Now he's looking to accomplish another first at the 18th annual Toshiba Classic. Price will try to be the tournament's first repeat winner when the first of three rounds begin Friday at Newport Beach Country Club, where the pro-am began Monday.
Price, who arrives Wednesday, will gladly take the same first-round score he had in 2011. He shot an 11-under-par 60, a Champions Tour, Toshiba Classic and course record. It was the first time in Price's impressive career that he shot a 60.
Price's victory at Newport Beach was also his first on poa annua greens, he said.
Price said he fought off nerves last year because he knew he had never won on a course with that type of grass.
The first-round score also resulted in some anxiety for the 55-year-old Hall of Famer.
"When you play that well in the first round, everyone hands you the tournament," said Price, an 18-time PGA Tour winner, who was the World No. 1-ranked player in his prime. "There was a lot of pressure for me in that regard. You feel like a fool if you end up not winning. The rest of the week, I played very smart golf … I was really happy that I used my head the last two rounds."
Price's Toshiba win was his fourth on the Champions Tour. He never really found success until his third year on the Champions Tour. He had had three victories in 2010. He said equipment changes helped.
Also when he started to win, that helped his confidence. He has always had a fun approach toward the Champions Tour. He said he enjoys playing with sponsors in the pro-am and making sure they receive a worthwhile experience.
It's totally different from his days on the PGA Tour, but he's having fun.
"I just feel that when you don't play so well on this tour, it's not the biggest deal in the world," Price said. "The tour has such a nice atmosphere. Generally speaking, the guys are just appreciative to be out there … You can still make money on this tour. The real goal is to compete well and win. When you have a second chance like this, you appreciate it. I feel so happy that people want to watch me play."
This year, Price's best finish in three tournaments came at the Allianz Championship in Boca Raton, Fla. He finished tied for seventh last month.
Price still plays on the PGA Tour when it fits his Champions Tour schedule. He tried to play in the Mayakoba Golf Classic Feb. 22-26. But he withdrew after one round because of a stomach virus he described as violent.
"I lost 10 pounds in three days," Price said. "I never had anything like that before."
But Price said he feels much better now.
"I'm doing quite a bit to get ready for Toshiba," Price said.
He said the days leading up to the first round will be low key, as he'll play the pro-am and dine with family and friends. But he wants to turn it up during tournament play. He wants to be a part of another first.

TED is the Bono of conferences. (Except Bono wasn't even on this year's guest list.) The Technology Entertainment Design conference is so bold-name, so visionary that you have to like it, which is why you can so easily hate it. But in 2006, the conference awarded its annual $100,000 prize to a man named Larry Brilliant who's heading up Google's non-profit arm, and how do you top that? This year, B-list tech press have rejected the conference they were never invited to. But they really do have a point:
- It's for starfuckers. "TED seems like a free pass for the Valley to shed [meritocratic] values, to be seduced by celebrity, to gawk at Hollywood types and politicians that its denizens would otherwise never encounter." That's according to BusinessWeek writer Sarah Lacy, who's never been invited to TED as she admits in her story "Why I'm Fed Up With TED." Lacy, who wrote cover stories on dot-com "Valley Boys" treating them like celebrities, also got a six-figure advance to write a book about such dot-commers. But if anything that makes her TED condemnation an expert opinion.
- Even the webtards are over it. Such as TechCrunch publisher Michael Arrington, who's given up on begging for an invite. Demonstrating the writing skills that will help him replace all tech media with his blog network, he explained on Twitter, "TED is such a lame conference."
- It's for Olds. How else did former TIME editor Walter Isaacson (his name is made of old) get away with calling his upcoming book "one of the first books for the electronic age"? (Like several books before it, an editable version will appear online.) Hello Walter, welcome to computers! Have you heard of the "For Dummies" series? You don't even have a home page.

$15.95DetailsThis introduction to the writing and preaching of the greatest medieval European mystic contains selections from his sermons, treatises, and sayings, as well as Table Talk, the records of his informal advice to his spiritual children.News & Reviews
"Even though the Roman Catholic Church tried hard to suppress its German Dominican priest, Meister Eckhart, by excommunication and condemnation, his writings have remained influential. Eckhart has been especially important among those seeking ways to connect Eastern religious traditions to Christian ones. The problem is that Eckhart's writing is difficult reading, losing much in translation not only from German to English but also from the 13th to the 20th century. O'Neal has produced an exceptional introductory edition that makes Eckhart more accessible. O'Neal's edition is an important introduction to Eckhart's work in that it draws the best texts from the most successful translations and, from them, produces a rich tapestry of presentation for this often quoted and little understood Rhineland mystic." —Publishers Weekly
"That Meister Eckhart is among the most important of Christian mystics is beyond dispute, so any collection that makes his work accessible to a wider audience is welcome. This new collection assembles material from existing translations along with a foreword by an important contemporary Benedictine mystic. The material is organized with an eye toward easing readers into Eckhart, beginning with short quotations then moving to table talk, sermons, and other longer pieces." —Steve Schroeder, BooklistReader Reviews

Firefighter Killed In Major Wisconsin Gas Explosion That Leveled Buildings
By Bill Galluccio
July 11, 2018
A massive gas main explosion leveled buildings in downtown Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, leaving one person dead and over a dozen injured. Authorities said that Sun Prairie Fire Department Captain Cory Barr was killed inside Barr House, a tavern that he owned, after a contractor accidentally struck a 4-inch gas main, creating a major leak that eventually led to the explosion that rocked the downtown area of the city, just a few miles from Madison.
Police and firefighters were called to the area following reports of a natural gas leak and were working to cordon off the area when the gas ignited, causing a huge explosion that left multiple buildings destroyed in the quiet suburb of the Wisconsin capital.
Five other firefighters, two police officers, and seven bystanders were also injured in the blast. One of the firefighters is in critical condition and remains in the hospital.
Barr served as a volunteer firefighter in Sun Prairie for ten years and worked as a real estate agent, along with owning his own restaurant, which was destroyed in the blast. He is survived by a wife and two daughters.
"Trying to find the words, and not sure how I can. The husband, the father of my children, a son, an uncle, a brother, and so many other things was taken from this world tonight way too soon," Barr's wife Abby wrote on Facebook according to WISC-TV.

Neil Kilkenny had a strike disallowed as Bristol City were held to a goalless draw by Portsmouth at Ashton Gate.
The Australian, signed from npower Championship rivals Leeds in the summer, thought he had scored the all-important goal in the second half when he bundled the ball home, but he was adjudged to have fouled Portsmouth goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown.
Steve Cotterill's side could have nicked it late on but Luke Varney saw his shot rebound off the post.
In a game of few chances, both sides failed to build on their first victories of the season in midweek.
Albert Adomah, after neat work with Marvin Elliott, had the opening chance of the match but Jamie Ashdown was equal to the midfielder's 20-yard effort.
City, unchanged from the midweek win at promotion-favourites Leicester, had the better of the opening exchanges, with Jamal Campbell-Ryce looking lively, but failed to convert possession into chances.
Portsmouth, lacking an attacking threat early on, finally came to life after 17 minutes but Greg Halford saw his 30-yard shot fly over the bar.
The visitors started to apply the pressure and, after David Norris and Hayden Mullins linked up, the former saw his 20-yard strike well blocked by James Wilson.
Dave Kitson, fresh from scoring the winner in Tuesday's 1-0 victory over Reading, headed over from Liam Lawrence's teasing cross in the closing stages of the opening half.
Portsmouth started where they left off in the first half and, after good work from Kanu, Kitson saw his shot blocked by Jordan Spence.
Lawrence tested Dean Gerken from 25 yards, before the hosts went up the other end and saw Kilkenny almost open the scoring with a 20-yard effort that whistled past the post.
With defences on top in the opening half, the game started to open up and Lawrence should have done better when he headed straight at Gerken, who did well to punch the ball to safety.
Campbell-Ryce was denied by Ashdown before Kilkenny found the net after 65 minutes, but the midfielder was adjudged to have impeded goalkeeper Ashdown.
Pompey responded and, on 72 minutes, Varney was unlucky not to net his first goal for the club when he saw his curling shot from the edge of the box rebound off the post.
The mis-firing Kitson wasted another chance, this time firing over from six yards, while Martyn Woolford, coming on as a substitute, was released by Nicky Maynard but, after the former Scunthorpe winger cut back inside, fired straight at Ashdown.
Benjani, introduced for Kanu in the second half, had a chance late on but headed Hayden Mullins' cross over the bar from 12 yards as both sides took a share of the spoils.

Each year, volunteers from throughout the upper Midwest gather at events across Wisconsin to build the Ice Age Trail, spend some time outside and connect with each other. We'd love to have you join us.
The goal of these events, all part of our Mobile Skills Crew Program, is to build a trailwide group of volunteers who are trained in advanced trail construction and crew leadership techniques. These volunteers, in turn, apply their knowledge and experience to smaller-scale, local trail building projects. It all results in more Ice Age Trail miles on the ground every year.
What to Expect at a Project
At Mobile Skills Crew events, volunteers that have been certified in crew leadership teach their fellow volunteers trail construction and maintenance techniques. Project goals include working safely, having fun and building premier Trail. We provide three meals a day and a place to pitch your tent free of charge for volunteers.
The activities we do at each project vary depending on the Trail segment's needs. Sometimes we'll be building new Ice Age Trail. Other times we improve existing Trail, upgrade signage or build a bridge or boardwalk. Every project needs volunteers for food preparation, community outreach, publicity, entertainment and administration.
Everyone is Welcome
You don't need previous trail building experience to participate. And you are welcome to lend a hand for whatever amount of time your schedule allows; projects are usually Tuesday through Sunday.
Ready to volunteer?

This remarkable collection of Hawaiian classics and original compositions continues Raiatea's tradition of stunning vocalization and resulted in her being recognized with an historic 2nd Grammy Nomination! (Raiatea received her first Grammy Nomination for "Sweet & Lovely" in 2006). "Hawaiian Blossom" was also praised with another Na Hoku Hanohano Award to add to her collection of 6 previous Na Hoku Hanohano Awards (Hawai'i's equivalent to the Grammy Awards). Raiatea Helm's breathtaking talent has also emerged in her love of jazz. Her growth as Hawaii's premier songstress can be heard in Track 13, the jazz classic "Taking A Chance On Love."13 Tracks:

In his speech, available on the parliament's Web site, Karimov, at left, said the legislative body should strengthen its control over the executive branch of the government, and added that the success of this process largely depends on "active participation of mass media."
"Big and responsible tasks are yet to be undertaken by the party press, which we have to pitifully admit, continues to remain toothless," Karimov said to the lawmakers.
According to Ferghana, the Uzbek leader also told legislators they should "create new conditions for more active reporting by Uzbek media of national and foreign policies implemented by the Uzbek government." He also stressed that journalists should be awarded better compensation for their work, and said freedom and responsibility should be increased for news outlets.
Those not familiar with press freedom conditions in
There are absolutely no independent media outlets in
According to CPJ's
prison census, which is released annually on December 1, Karimov's regime persistently
jailed journalists in the recent decade. With at least seven journalists behind bars for
their work in
Among the jailed journalists is the Uzbek president's own nephew, Dzhamshid Karimov, who has been locked in psychiatric clinic without a court order or known medical diagnosis since 2006. We have repeatedly appealed to the Uzbek president urging him to release the journalists, but to no avail. Local sources told CPJ the journalist's relationship to the authoritarian leader prevents local lawyers from taking the case to court.
Uzbek authorities are also infamous for harassing those few
independent reporters and rights activists who have dared to stay in the
country. Recently, CPJ covered the illegal interrogation
and harassment of independent journalists by prosecutors in the capital,
Last month, we also reported on an absurd criminal libel case that Uzbek authorities filed against a prominent filmmaker and photographer, Umida Akhmedova, who allegedly slandered the nation and its traditions through her work.
Our research indicates that security agents pre-screen all newspaper articles before they reach the printer. The agents have to make sure nothing poses a threat to the regime of authoritarian leader, whose family and personality receive only praise from the loyal national press. In neighboring Kyrgyzstan, colleagues of Alisher Saipov—a Kyrgyz journalist who covered human rights abuse in Karimov's Uzbekistan and was murdered there in 2007—believe the Uzbek security service was involved in his slaying. Unsolved to this day, Saipov's murder sent a chill throughout the region, reaching all of Karimov's critics.
These are only a few examples of the egregious lack of press
freedom in
Karimov was right, the Uzbek press is "toothless" at large and needs reform, but as the sole driver of his regime, he should remove his government's yoke from the necks of journalists. It will take years to undo the damage that has been inflicted on the independent press, but change is possible. As a first step, the Uzbek authorities should release the many journalists they are holding behind bars.

Former University of Connecticut quarterback John McEntee, whose YouTube trick shot video went viral several years ago, has been fired from his position as a personal assistant to President Donald Trump.
According to a New York Times report, McEntee was escorted out of the White House after his security clearance was revoked. He will reportedly join Trump's 2020 re-election campaign team as senior adviser. In recent weeks, Gen. John F. Kelly, the White House Chief of Staff, has been clamping down on staffers working without permanent security clearances.
CNN reported the failure to gain permanent security clearance was related to financial transgressions.
"McEntee was fired because he is currently under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for serious financial crimes," CNN reported.
McEntee became the latest - though not biggest - name to be ousted from his position in the Trump administration, shortly after Trump tweeted that he had decided to fire Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
A walk-on at UConn, McEntee took over starting duties in 2011, the same year his famed trick shot video went viral on YouTube, depicting him making a series of seemingly impossible throws throughout the campus. The video has more than 7.3 million views in less than seven years.
"As we build out our operations for the 2018 mid-term elections and the 2020 reelection campaign, we are pleased to welcome back two outstanding members of our 2016 team," Brad Parscale, Trump's campaign manager, said in a written statement announcing the hiring of McEntee and Katrina Pierson, who frequently appears as a surrogate for Trump on cable news.
The firing came as a surprise to many, according to reports, and "it's not going to be great for morale," a White House official told the Wall Street Journal this week, which reported the ousting first.
He was escorted off the White House grounds before he was allowed to collect his belongings, even leaving without his jacket, the Journal reported.
Before becoming a personal assistant and "body man" to Trump, McEntee worked as a production assistant at Fox News. He joined the Trump campaign in August 2015 and quickly rose through the ranks.

Difference between revisions of "Houston/West Houston"
Revision as of 14:50, 18 April 2012
West Houston, at first glance, seems to be no more than urban sprawl at its worst: strip malls, gridlock, billboards, and more strip malls. Yet one need not travel far from the interstate to discover a trove of hidden gems: tranquil parks, the absolute highs and lows in both upscale and bargain shopping, and an endless variety of exotic, authentic eateries - as proof, look no further than New Chinatown.
Despite a plethora of rundown apartment complexes and a reputation for crime, Southwest Houston was the center of much of the city's suburban development from the 1940s through the 1970s, today it is one of its most diverse quarters and is also home to some of the city's most desirable neighborhoods, including Meyerland and the charming City of Bellaire. This area is almost completely outside of the 610 Loop, although the City of Bellaire is partially inside the 610.
New Chinatown (AKA Little Saigon or Asiatown) would be the largest Chinatown in the world area-wise, but the term Chinatown is misleading due to the fact that the majority of the shops and restaurants cater to Houston's large Vietnamese population. This area is outside the 610 Loop and near the Beltway, Houston's outer freeway loop.

What makes some state capitals so much more corrupt than others? New research provides a partial answer to that long-standing question: isolated capitals breed more corruption and lack of news coverage is a major reason why.
State capitals have long been known for corrupt practices. While every state has its roster of legendary local miscreants, some have a much more consistent record of corruption than others. Researchers have studied that variation for years, looking for factors that might explain the patterns.
The overall level of education in a state appears to play a role – less educated states tend toward more corrupt governments – but most other variables that researchers have examined have not turned out to have a consistent effect.
Filipe R. Campante of Harvard's Kennedy School of Government and Quoc-Anh Do of Singapore Management University looked at a different factor – isolation.
At the nation's founding, James Madison argued that capital cities should be located "in that spot which will be least removed from every part of the empire." That way, Madison asserted, government would be insulated from powerful economic interests. But perhaps Madison erred. Or maybe his prescription is just wrong for our times.
Campante and Do used a sophisticated statistical model to determine which capitals are the most isolated from their states' population centers. They compared that measure of isolation with a database of convictions on federal corruption charges between 1976 and 2002. (Using federal convictions avoids the problem that some states may have more corruption convictions simply because local prosecutors are more aggressive. In addition, a long time period minimizes possible partisan bias).
The results showed an impressive effect, they wrote: "more isolated capital cities are associated with more corruption."

I would like to propose that we permanently abolish the ICU template and simply tag new articles that need more work with either {{WIP}} or {{Fix}}. Why? The ICU template serves exactly the same function as the {{WIP}} template. One week after the final edit the article is rechecked and either deleted or the template removed because the article is sufficiently good enough.
Then what is the difference? We know what ICU means, thats the article has potential but isn't quite their yet but what do the new users think? They think we want to delete their article because it sucks and this is often responded with very bad things such as blanking their Work in Progress, asking for it to be deleted, simply not knowing what to do or leaving. This is bad because we want them to stay and we have good intentions that they do not see. The solution as I stated before is it simply tag it with {{WIP}}. Now what they see is us encouraging them to finish what they started and then they might stay and become part of Uncyclopedia. So lets do it! ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 00:31, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
Vote - Should we abolish ICU and instead just tag it with WIP?
- Strong For As I stated above it will encourage newbies to stay and IPs to join. ~Sir Frosty (Talk to me!) 00:31, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Strong For What a wonderful way to kick off New User Month. -- Brigadier General Sir Zombiebaron 00:33, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Strong For Less confusion. -- UserTalkContributions 00:37, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Yes yes yes. Because the {{WIP}} and {{Fix}} templates accomplish the same thing.--Snippy 00:49, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah okay. But I'm going to start deleting the ones that look like binary vomit from now on. -RAHB 01:49, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Kinda for. I like the idea of abolishing the current ICU. I think ICU should still exist, but without the '7 day warning' BS. It just needs to be fixed. And I do agree with RAHB; certain articles just need to get trashed right away. Barack WeinribZ Obama 14:36, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Against. The problem is not the ICU tag nor has it ever been. We simply should not have the arbitrary Fix/30 day tag as it stands. Admins should delete the crap after seven days and whatever is left should be (or has formally been) a 'Rewrite' (for users or something like IC) - if there's a problem that was what the Poopsmiths Lounge and VFD was for. The reason we have less users is not the ICU or the NRV tag that preceded it.--Sycamore (Talk) 07:17, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Against. If we were going to do this then all fix tags should be looked at. I have changed some ICUs to a 30 day fix. Perhaps the ICU template is a bit too blunt and can upset/deter new contributors but my concern is we will start to collect a lot junk articles occupying spaces where other writers may be stopped from changing or editing. --RomArtus*Imperator ® (Orate) 09:39, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Against. Instead of permanently abolishing the ICU, it would be better to edit it so that it sounds less blunt (as per Romartus' suggestion). This way, there will be an effective mechanism to identify and eventually filter out junk articles, but it will not act as a deterring force for new users. » Zheliel Talk Contribs Cow » 14:50 October 1
- For. WIP serves the same purpose as ICU but in a way that puts less scrutiny on both the user and the article. That way, they're still told that their article needs some work but not in a way to say "it's shit" and will likely keep users around. Every little helps. Sir Georgie • Harangue • Mediocracy 18:39, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Silent For. —qzekrom.net16.net clicky! 19:26, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- Neutral. The good thing about the ICU tag as it stands now, is that it gives the writer a clue about what needs fixing about a new article. The WIP tag just states that the article is under construction, and has a 7 day reprieve and nothing more. The ICU tag probably should be reworded to be friendlier to new users, or else replaced with something mentioning that the article is under construction and still needs X. -- Simsilikesims(♀GUN) Talk here. 21:24, October 1, 2012 (UTC)
- against--fcukman
LOOS3R!04:21, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
- For. If the article lacks something, someone can tell the user what it lacks. ICU seems just unnecessary. Cat the Colourful (Feed me!) Zzz 04:49, 2 October, 2012 (UTC)
- Against. Simply reworking the ICU to be less harsh (like we edited the preceding NRV to be less harsh) should be enough. LikeSimsilkesims said, it has the important feature of giving suggestions to improve the piece, in case users are too lazy to spell it out themselves. Also important is reworking the page about the ICU tag, because a lot of n00bs will go there once they see their stuff tagged. And besides, I find it hard to believe that even the current ICU could be such a deterrent to new users to begin with. --Lord Scofield Stark 11:54, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
- FOR There must be better ways of doing this. Let's sponge this cat out of its basket. mAttlobster. (hello) 13:31, October 2, 2012 (UTC)
- Wait I changed my mind, 100% For because if you've got a suggestion for an article just tell the fucking author yourself. -- TKFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK 19:47, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

ST. BONAVENTURE, N.Y., March 12, 2014 — St. Bonaventure University senior Makeda Loney has been named the 2014 recipient of the Dr. Mary A. Hamilton Woman of Promise award.
Loney was honored at the annual Woman of Promise ceremony March 18 in the Dresser Auditorium of the John J. Murphy Professional Building.
The award recognizes a female journalism and mass communication student who has excelled both in and out of the classroom, set an example for peers and demonstrated great promise for success in future endeavors. The award is named in honor of Dr. Mary Hamilton, '59, retired associate professor for the Russell Jandoli School of Journalism and Mass Communication.
Loney is a student in the Arthur O. Eve Higher Education Opportunity Program (HEOP), and is the first HEOP student to be named a Woman of Promise. In the fall of 2013, Loney was inducted into the HEOP National Honor Society, Chi Alpha Epsilon.
Loney's involvement on campus spans numerous organizations, including campus radio station WSBU 88.3 The Buzz, the Slam Poetry Club, the American Advertising Federation and SBU Theater. Loney also participated in the university's prestigious Francis E. Kelley Oxford Program studying abroad in England during the summer of 2012.
A Brooklyn, N.Y., native, Loney plans to move to Atlanta after graduation to attend copywriting classes at the The Creative Circus, a portfolio-building educational program.
Originally a marketing major during her freshman year, Loney switched to journalism and mass communication after realizing what the program could offer her.
"I learned that marketing was more numbers than creativity, and I found out that the journalism school had classes geared right to what I wanted to do," she said. "I was extremely happy with my switch."
Loney said she considers this recognition her biggest accomplishment to date and that she never saw it coming.
"I was extremely touched that they considered me such a great representation of the journalism school," she said. "This reassured me that I am a talented and capable young woman and that I am going places after graduation."
Leah Shearer, '00, was the keynote speaker at the Woman of Promise award ceremony. A two-time cancer survivor and program coordinator of the Teens Living with Cancer program, Shearer is an advocate for adolescents and young adults who must navigate a complicated medical system all while enduring the difficult isolation of their illness.
About the University: The nation's first Franciscan university, St. Bonaventure University cultivates graduates who are confident and creative communicators, collaborative leaders and team members, and innovative problem solvers who are respectful of themselves, others, and the diverse world around them. We are establishing pathways to internships, graduate schools and careers in the context of our renowned liberal arts tradition. Our students are becoming extraordinary.

Are we better off today than we were four years ago? That is the constant question on the eve of yet another tight presidential race. From the perspective of home prices, the answer is, as always, it depends on where you live. Some cities are faring far better than others, and some believe that home prices are not entirely finished correcting.
According to the widely watched S&P/Case Shiller Home Price Indices, home values in the nation's ten largest cities were down 2.4 percent from January 2009 through August 2012 seasonally adjusted. For the top twenty cities, they are down 3.7 percent seasonally adjusted.
These two composites, however, are still both off nearly 30 percent from the peaks in the summer of 2006.
Remember, also, that we saw a bump in home prices in 2010 from the Obama administration's home buyer tax credit. Home prices on the 20-city composite were up 1.5 percent in August 2010, not seasonally adjusted, from January 2009, but then of course they dropped again, and we are still, today, below that level of the tax credit surge. (Read More: Home Prices Rise, but Analysts See Pressure Ahead.)
So can an incumbent president win a second term when home prices are lower than they were when he took office? I asked S&P's David Blitzer:
"Our data go back to 1987 for the 10-City Composite, so there are a couple of hints — Bush-1 took office with the index at 77.99 In January 1989; in November 1992 it was 77.09, and he lost. In August 1992 (comparable to August 2012, our latest data point) the index was 77.76, also down by the slightest amount. Clinton, who was re-elected saw home prices rise from an index of 76.56 to 78.23 during his first term — up 2.2 percent over four years. The Clinton increase points out how large the price moves in the 2000s were. In the Carter years inflation was running close to double digits so home prices were most likely rising in nominal terms."
(Read More: Cities With the Most Affordable Homes.)
While S&P/Case-Shiller's top ten and top twenty city composites are basically flat since President Obama took office, the national quarterly index is up 2.6 percent not seasonally adjusted, and consumer confidence in home prices is higher than it has been.
"Consumers' average home price change expectation is 1.5 percent, consistent with recent periods and marking nearly a full year in which home price expectations have been positive," according to Fannie Mae's National Housing Survey, released in early October. "Thirty-seven percent of those surveyed expect home prices to go up in the next year, the highest level since the survey's inception in June 2010."
Confidence is up and national home price statistics are up, but 10.8 million, or 22.3 percent of all homeowners with a mortgage, owe more on that mortgage than their home is currently worth, according to CoreLogic. An additional 2.3 million borrowers have less than 5 percent equity in their homes, making it very difficult to move up or even out.
Still, all real estate is local, so take a look to see where you might be:

Since we're all familiar with JT's "Omeletville" sketch and his Digital Shorts prowess and such, this is a great time to Take You Back In Time to 1994 when the five-time Saturday Night Live host did a Mickey Mouse Club duet of "I'll Take You There" with Britney Spears.

That's two more homers than any Red Sox third baseman hit in any game this year. Just one of those subtle statistical indicators that separate the contenders from the also-rans.

When we got an overnight package from NVIDIA this past Friday we expected it to be a holiday gift like most of the other companies are doing right now. We've been loaded up with holiday cookies and greeting cards so far this month, so when we got the above package from NVIDIA it looked to be a holiday surprise.
Once we opened up the package we found a holiday card and a welcome letter letting us know that we were given the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 reference card to review and that the official launch date was December 7th, 2010 at 6am PST. NVIDIA gave us just over three days to review the GeForce GTX 570; how nice of them. NVIDIA must guess that hardware reviewers do nothing over the weekend or they wanted to slip something past reviewers that they didn't want discovered. In our 'holiday gift box' we got a reviewer's guide, a GeForce GTX Tank T-Shirt: Collector's Edition and a single GeForce GTX 570 reference card.
As many of our readers knew already, the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 uses the same GF110 Fermi core that is found on the GTX 580 but it has a number of things disabled. If you look at the specifications chart below you'll see that the GeForce GTX 570 has fewer SMPs, CUDA Cores, Texture Units, ROP Units, GDDR5 memory and lower overall performance than the GeForce GTX 580.
As you can see the GeForce GTX 570 has 480 CUDA cores and 15 PolyMorph engines. If you recall this is pretty much the same processing unit configuration as the original GeForce GTX 480 as it too had 480 CUDA Cores and 15 PolyMorph engines. The GeForce GTX 480 had a GPU clock of 700MHz, a Stream Processor clock of
1401MHz and the 1536MB frame buffer consisting of Samsung GDDR5
memory was clocked at 924MHz, for an effective data rate of 3696MHz. The new GeForce GTX 570 has a GPU core clock speed of 732MHz, a Stream Processor clock of
1464MHz and the 1280MB (1.25GB) GDDR5 memory is now running at 950MHz, for an
effective data rate of 3800MHz. The GeForce GTX 570 runs faster on the core since it has higher clock speeds, but the memory bandwidth is 14% less than the GeForce GTX 480 (177.4GB/s) since it has less memory and operates on a narrower 320-bit bus. That means the GeForce GTX 570 should perform better in applications where it is not being memory limited.
Since the GeForce GTX 570 is so close to the GeForce GTX 480 it makes no since to continue to carry both video cards. NVIDIA confirmed that now that the GTX 570 GPU has been released that the GeForce GTX 480 will be discontinued after the supply of chips/cards runs out. Both the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 and GTX 465 are End of Life (EOL). The GeForce GTX 470 will remain in the product stack at $254.99 with the GeForce GTX 570 at $349.99 and the GeForce GTX 580 at $509.99. With the ATI Radeon HD 5870 coming in at $259.99 the GeForce GTX 570 doesn't have any direct price competition until AMD released their Cayman series of video cards which will consist of the Radeon HD 6970 and 6950 and that is supposed to happen next week. Let's take a closer look at the GeForce GTX 570 and see what it is all about!

Extreme South Dakota Weather [PHOTOS]
My wife and I made a trip to the river to visit friends this past weekend. If you've been in the Armour or Pickstown area you know that 'they are wet!' Real wet. The corn looks incredible. The soybeans look unbelievable. That's why I wanted to show the difference.
Last fall while we were out pheasant hunting, I took a picture of a fence line where the dirt had been blowing in the hot South Dakota wind. It was ugly to say the least. Now, you look at the most recent picture taken with my Samsung Galaxy S4 I use courtesy of Sprint in Sioux Falls.
I didn't take the greatest picture. I could have a bluer sky. But look how lush the ditch is. This is the SAME ditch where last year was nothing but dirt against the bales. The bales are there, you just can't see them on the other side of the vegetation! If you look closely, you can see the grass actually growing up in between the recently cut hay!
Dan and Joe are working on taking the fence out and spreading the 'blow dirt' back out over the field.
It's just another illustration to what we say all the time. If you don't like the weather in South Dakota, just wait. It'll change. Oh, want to see what it looked like last year?

Jennifer Lawrence stayed true to her Christmastime tradition this week by visiting Kosair Children's Hospital in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky.
The Oscar-winning actress has made an appearance at Kosair three years in a row now and the looks on the children's faces are still as priceless as ever.
Lawrence brought smiles to the little patients as she greeted fans and posed for photographs throughout her visit on Wednesday.
The hospital posted several of the unforgettable photos and wrote a special message to the "Joy" star for helping to bring just that to those who are unable to go home and be with their family during this time of year.
PHOTOS: Celebs giving back for the holidays
"Jennifer Lawrence stopped by Kosair Children's Hospital today! Thank you for bringing many smiles to the patients before the holidays," the hospital's Facebook wrote in a post.
Last year, the hospital shared a similar message to the actress, writing, "Thank you for visiting the kids yesterday. We know it meant a lot to them and brightened their day."
E! News caught up with Lawrence earlier this month where she dished about her dream plans for Christmas.
"Hopefully sleep, although my nephews...they don't let me sleep in anymore. The oldest one goes, 'If you go back to sleep, I'm going to lick you.' And I go, 'Well that's gross, because I've seen what you do with your mouth, so I'm up!'"

So, you have spent your time, energy and development resources building an amazing iOS or Android mobile application and have started to market it to English speakers everywhere? Congratulations! Did you know that straight away, you are missing out on the potential to have many more people using your app; how about every Norwegian speaker in the world? With relatively low cost, your mobile app can be translated into Norwegian and many other languages.
The team of Norwegian translators at Translator UK have experience in working in a myriad of development environments including Unity, PhoneGap, Eclipse and many more and can complete or assist you with the Norwegian translation of:
- Strings files
- Localisation objects
- Norwegian marketing texts
- Menu objects
- Supporting websites
- Much more
Having your mobile application translated into Norwegian is just the start. In tandem, translating your website into Norwegian or providing Norwegian marketing materials such as Norwegian promotional images will be of great value to all who download your application.
Depending on the nature of your application (perhaps it is a mobile game or an application to be used primarily on tablets) it may be advisable to translate only portions of your application into Norwegian, or quite possibly into 20 different languages. Translator UK can assist you with all of your mobile application translation needs.
If your application is to be used on iPads or iPhones, the process of ensuring all of the text of your application is translated into Norwegian correctly is a lengthy one and requires professional Norwegian translators to ensure the job is done correctly and any conventional typesetting required can be accomplished at the same time.
Mobile phone applications are all the rage right now internationally and will continue to grow in importance. If you have already translated your application into Norwegian, but require further assistance in the marketing of your mobile application to the international Norwegian-speaking community, we can help.Norwegian Application Translations United Kingdom Translator UK Translator UK

SkyDroid - Golf GPS is a Golf GPS application for mobile phones. We are currently for sale for Android phones but are in the process of porting over to the iPhone.
See more at http://www.skydroid.net to learn about us.
Golfers with smartphones (iPhone, Android)
I need icons for the iPhone version of my Golf GPS app. You can see screen shots and video of the app itself at http://www.skydroid.net.
The icons for the iPhone version can be based on the existing Android icon which is attached (2 sizes attached), but would need to get improved/modified for the iPhone.
You should be familiar with the iPhone icon requirements, but basically 90 degree corners, no transparency. iPhone will automatically round the corners and add a gloss to the image (although the gloss can be disabled if desired).
I am also willing to consider icons that are totally different than the Android version.
Here are the sizes needed. These should all be based on same concept and be quite similar to each other. The images marked (high resolution) can be slightly more detailed, but again, there should be a very similar look across all of them.
Details that don't scale down well should be removed for the smaller sizes, don't just accept the auto scaling of photoshop.
Please refer to MobileHIG.pdf (attached) for iPhone icon guidelines.

The Allentown Art Museum and Civic Theatre of Allentown are teaming up to pay tribute to the men and women who fought for civil rights during the 1960s.
While the museum presents "This Light of Ours: Activist Photographers of the Civil Rights Movement," opening Sunday, Civic Theatre will unreel five movies that examine the fight for equality from many different perspectives.
The series kicks off on Monday with "Mississippi Burning" (1988), a top-flight drama that uses the 1964 murder of civil rights activists as a stepping-off point for a look at racism in the Deep South.
Gene Hackman and Willem Dafoe star as the FBI agents who arrive in...

text: Thursday, March 22, 2012 New in the Literature: Effect of Postoperative Physical Therapy on LOS (J Arthroplasty. 2012 Mar 2. [Epub ahead of print]) To study the isolated effect of physical therapy on total joint arthroplasty hospital length of stay (LOS), researchers from the University of Pittsburgh conducted a prospective cohort study on 136 patients with primary total joint arthroplasties (58 hips, 78 knees). LOS was determined by the operative start time until the time of discharge. On postoperative day (POD) 0, 60 patients remained in bed, 51 moved to a chair, and 25 received physical therapy (22 ambulated, 3 moved to a chair). LOS differed for patients receiving physical therapy on POD 0 (2.8 ± 0.8 days) compared with POD 1 (3.7 ± 1.8 days). There was no difference in physical therapy treatment based on nausea/vomiting, pain levels, or discharge location. Isolated physical therapy intervention on POD 0 shortened hospital LOS, regardless of the intervention performed. This article was published online March 2 in The Journal of Arthroplasty. Comments Thanks for some current information about length of stay for total joint arthroplasty for hospitals. Posted by Heidi Harris -> ?IQZDF on 3/23/2012 2:05 PM I see this trend in our orthopaedic hospital. Patients that get up POD#0 progress as if it were POD#2 on POD#1. Posted by wendy lance on 3/23/2012 10:39 PM I have stood on this soap box for years. Thanks for the documentation. Posted by Court Burkham on 3/24/2012 8:11 AM I feel vindicated! I was repromanded while on one of my clinicals for standing a patient on POD#1 34 yrs. ago. How times have changed. Thank you U of Pitt. Posted by Don Smith on 4/3/2012 7:41 PM I agree, however I am running into a major safety issue. If I attempted to stand or ambulate day 0 I run into total quad nerve block. Posted by Chuck porter on 4/3/2012 11:24 PM In response to Chuck Porter's comment, do you have Safe Patient Handling equipment at your facility? There are excellent solutions to this problem Posted by Margaret Arnold on 4/5/2012 10:25 AM In response to Margaret Arnold: what equipment do you find essential? I want my staff to be safe when working with tall/ heavy patients who we tend to see often. Posted by Paul Hoover on 4/5/2012 7:25 PM We initially experienced poor quad control with "Q-pump" IV nerve blocks on total knees. We went to 2 people assist with first day standing/ambulation and/or knee immobilizer for 1-2 days on involved leg. We asked other facilities within our national system - they had the same issue - and did the same response. Anaesthesia has improved their med control with fewer problems know. Our typical LOS is 3 days for total hips and knees. We get 'em up POD#1 2X/day. 90% amb X 200' by discharge. Posted by Lynn Johnson on 4/5/2012 11:25 PM

FCC Needs to Explain Recent Actions, Opines Prof. Jeff McCall '76
March 7, 2014
"The Federal Communications Commission has backed away from the senseless study it planned that would have had researchers snooping into the content decisions made in local broadcast newsrooms," begins a column by Jeff McCall. Writing in the Detroit News, the professor of communication at DePauw University adds, "While that is nice to know, the American public now needs to hear what Paul Harvey would have described as 'the rest of the story.' "
The professor's op-ed recaps how the decisions to launch and then scrap the Critical Information Needs (CIN) study came to pass. A Wall Street Journal piece by FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai blasting the plan engaged the public and led the FCC to cancel the research project.
According to Dr. McCall, author of Viewer Discretion Advised: Taking Control of Mass Media Influences, "The underlying FCC motivation for studying newsroom practices has little to do with information needs, and everything to do with who owns the media. The CIN study was merely camouflage for finding a way to keep huge media corporations from becoming huger. FCC commissioners, such as [Mignon] Clyburn and former chair Julius Genachowski, have long been concerned that big media corporations prevent a diversity of ownership, particularly among women and minorities. While arguments can be made for wanting diverse ownership in media, the FCC has not yet found ones that can withstand legal challenges."
The professor continues, "The study of newsroom content decisions in order to forge a case for changing ownership regulations is surely a fool's errand. The barriers to diverse ownership are totally unrelated to decisions made in newsrooms, and even if data to that effect could be concocted, press protections would keep the FCC from enacting regulations based on it. The barriers to media ownership today are structural and capital related, and that goes for all smaller investors -- women, minority or otherwise."
McCall believes the incident points to a "lack of First Amendment understanding that the FCC must still explain to journalists and the American people."
Access the complete text, which will also appear in tomorrow's Indianapolis Star, at the News' website.
A 1976 graduate of DePauw, Jeffrey M. McCall is a former journalist and faculty adviser to DePauw's student radio station, WGRE. The professor has been quoted in stories published by more than 100 newspapers including a story by Houston radio station for KTRH and a recent article that originated in the Los Angeles Times and was syndicated to many other papers.

Re: Dudley - Bitting Amazon - 19 yrs old/Jackie
Posted by Debbie on 11/16/06
Are the birds wings clipped?? That helps here with my YN
female and my others birds as well. My YN likes men but isnt
crazy about women. I adopted her 3 years ago and thought
since she had been abused and thru many homes that she
needed to be handled more but I was wrong ....she didnt know
how to control herself. It took me 2 years of getting bit
and to the bone most bites but now I just take her out for
her "special time" in the evenings.
She NEVER gets on my shoulder just in case she might bite
cause thats just too easy for any bird and way too close for
comfort for me plus I have always heards its not good to let
any bird up on your shoulder for control.
So for the last year she is fine and settled down more with
the small time she gets and she watches TV during the day
plus gets treats and talked too. Now with our son she lays
on the bed with him and lets him pet her anytime and has
always done well with men but she does get very jealous at
Has something changed there to where maybe your bird is
jealous?? Maybe its hormones maybe you are its mate and its
serious about you who knows but try watching different
things to see what might set your bird off. Its hard for
birds to go from home to homes and if at all possible with
ideas from other birds owners on here we can help to calm
the problem so things dont get that bad to where its all you
can do but it does happen I know. I had a male BF that
wanted the YN and he took it out on me no matter what I did
and where I moved them to where they werent together. he
would go after me but other wise was a sweet bird. So after
a year of this I finally sold him. He is doing so much
better there where he cant get his hormones up in a bunch
for the female that he cant have and is a sweet bird again
plus he is happy. My advice is to sit and watch from the
birds level and see what trips his trigger so to speak and
do not let him by your face what so ever. The higher a bird
can get on you the more in control they feel.
Hope this helps some and others on here help with good
advice as well.
Take care,

Every year the automotive industry gets together to compare the size of their... wheels. Unfortunately, it's not open to the public but it does give tuner shops the opportunity to meet suppliers or find new ones, all while enjoying the pleasures of the Las Vegas location.
As one of the biggest aftermarket events on the planet, floor space at SEMA is dominated by domestic muscle. On the whole, this represents the cream of the crop, and the mix of extremely well-built muscle cars and hot rods can be appreciated by any motorhead.
To give you an indication of the domestic market's grip on the event, the organizers established the inaugural SEMA Award at the 2010 show. They "relied on the trend-setting influence of exhibitors to determine the winners". They basically considered a booth space as a ballot, and the cars the exhibitors selected represented their vote.
With Hottest Car, Hottest Truck and Hottest 4x4-SUV up for grabs, the awards went to the Chevrolet Camaro, Ford F-Series and Jeep Wrangler, respectively. It's a fairly predictable choice and indicates that none of the European or even Japanese imports can compete in terms of numbers.
Where the Europeans do excel is in the wheel and tire hall, with wheel companies attempt to outdo each other using sicker Ferraris and crazier Porsches than the booth next door.
Yet among the domestic iron and rows of 26" rims was a smattering of quality cars and news parts that are relevant to our Euro tuning tastes. So we trudged the halls and scanned the lots to bring you what we consider the best of SEMA 2010.
