Cedar Oils, Bed Bug Sprays, and Other Scams
As the bed bug problem gets worse, the temptation to cash in on people's anxieties through hucksterism increases.
Lately I've been seeing a lot of comment spam and instablogs promoting various bed bug remedies. Frequently these are "natural" sprays containing some kind of essential oil, and they often claim a high success rate when applied directly to bed bugs and their eggs.
The important thing there is the last bit - "when applied directly". Even if these claims are true, they are useless, since pretty much anything is effective at killing bed bugs if you can apply it directly. But as the insect's entire survival strategy is built around hiding from us, you're never going to get a chance to apply anything directly unless you already have a terrible infestation.
Right now, there is no product on the market that can kill bed bugs and their eggs where they hide. If there were, this website wouldn't exist. Remember that before you waste any money buying sprays or other treatments that suggest otherwise.

Lady Bucs aim to make it eight in a row vs. the Bears
MACON, Ga. (Jan. 21, 2013) – In search of putting together back-to-back wins for the first time since defeating Memphis on Nov. 30 and Morehead State on Dec. 2, the Lady Bucs end their weekend road trip with a visit to Macon, Ga. to take on the Mercer Bears on Monday, Jan. 21, at 2 p.m. inside Hawkins Arena.
ETSU hopes to continue the momentum they gained after downing the Kennesaw State Owls, 61-59, on Saturday evening. After a great start to the game, the Blue and Gold had to battle back after being down by as many as 13 points with 11 minutes left in the contest. During a scoring run, Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.) produced a go-ahead lay-in with two minutes remaining, a lead that the Lady Bucs would not relinquish the rest of the way.
The matchup between the Lady Bucs and the Mercer Bears (10-7, 4-2) will be the 24th all-time meeting between the two schools, a series in which ETSU (4-9, 2-4) leads with a 14-9 all-time series advantage and hold a seven-game winning streak. In the most recent matchup between the two teams, ETSU topped the Bears, 75-59, in Macon. With the triumph, the Lady Bucs swept the season series versus MU after defeating them, 72-46, on Jan. 7 in Johnson City, Tenn. The Blue and Gold hope to make it eight in a row against Mercer on Monday afternoon.
For more on Saturday's game, read the game notes below. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Lady Buccaneers, but Lady Bucs is also acceptable.
ETSU (4-9, 2-4) finally got back on the right track by defeating the Kennesaw State Owls, 61-59, on Saturday evening. The Lady Bucs started the game out well with an 8-2 run in the first three minutes, but quickly went cold for the rest of the half, resulting in a 36-32 deficit at the break. The Blue and Gold started the second half completely different from what they started the first, scoring only six points through the first 10 minutes of the stanza. This cold shooting, coupled with efficient offense from KSU, resulted in the Owls upping their lead throughout the period, reaching its peak with a 13-point lead at the 11:32 mark. ETSU was able to find its rhythm from the offensive end with seven minutes remaining in the contest, cutting the deficit to nine. From this point on, the Blue and Gold went on a 19-8 run, including a lay-in by Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.) to take the lead with 2:19 left in the game. The Lady Bucs did not relinquish the lead the rest of the way and held on for a 61-59 victory. ETSU got a double-double from Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) with 18 points and 10 rebounds, while Shawn Randall (Orlando, Fla.) added 18 points as well. Maria Bond (Macon, Ga.) tallied 10 points and nine rebounds.
Monday's contest inside Hawkins Arena will be the 24th all-time meeting between the two teams; a series in which ETSU leads with a 14-9 all-time series advantage and have won seven straight. The Lady Bucs and Bears last met last season on Jan. 2 when ETSU topped Mercer, 75-59. With the win, the Lady Bucs swept the season series versus MU after defeating them, 72-46, on Jan. 7 in Johnson City, Tenn. In the most recent meeting, Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) poured in a career-high 30 points, while Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.) added a 12-point performance. Mercer wasn't able to pull within single-digits in the final 20 minutes, resulting in a 75-59 Lady Bucs victory.
The emergence of redshirt-sophomore Tiana Burley (Camilla, Ga.) has provided a badly-needed inside presence off the bench for the Lady Bucs. In the transfer's first action as a Lady Buc due to NCAA regulations, the center came off the bench and posted a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds in a loss to Appalachian State. This performance awarded Burley A-Sun Newcomer of the Week honors on Dec. 26. Burley also was a big contribution off the bench for the Lady Bucs against USC Upstate, in which she posted eight points and three rebounds in 15 minutes of play.
After being inserted into the starting lineup at the beginning of conference play, Shawn Randall (Orlando, Fla.) has answered the call and has been stellar in league play. In her first start of the season at USC Upstate, Randall tallied 16 points and was 4-of-6 from behind the arc. The junior guard followed this performance with strong showings at Lipscomb (13 points, 4 rebounds), Northern Kentucky (9 points) and at Kennesaw State (18 points). Randall is currently averaging 9.8 points per game in Atlantic Sun action.
In addition to running the team as a true freshman point guard, Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.) has shown no fear at the free throw stripe with the game on the line. At Lipscomb and at Kennesaw State, McQueen stepped the line and buried clutch free throws down the stretch to seal the game in the Lady Bucs' favor. McQueen currently ranks fifth in the A-Sun in free throw shooting at 76.5 percent.
The Blue and Gold have out-rebounded the opposition in nine of the 13 games this season and enter Monday's game with a plus-4.3 rebounding margin (42.1-37.8), ranking first in the A-Sun … in its game at Morehead State, ETSU out-rebounded the Eagles by 20, 46-26 … the Lady Bucs' plus-4.3 rebound margin currently ranks in the top 100 nationally.
Junior Destiny Mitchell earned A-Sun Player of the Week honors on Dec. 3 after averaging 14.5 points and 11 rebounds in wins over Memphis and Morehead State, marking the third A-Sun Player of the Week selection of her career ... Mitchell posted a double-double in the win vs. Memphis (14 points/16 rebounds), while adding 15 points and six rebounds a few days later at Morehead State.
Currently the Lady Bucs are averaging 4.4 blocks per contest, good for tops in the Atlantic Sun. ETSU swatted a season-high eight shots in their win against Memphis on Nov. 30 inside the MSHA Athletics Center and tied this season-high rejection mark in a loss to Stetson at the Dome. The Blue and Gold have blocked five or more shots in six games this season and are led by Tosha Austin (Chattanooga, Tenn.) 1.1 blocks per game which ranks in the top five individually in the league. Austin also currently ranks 19th all-time in blocked shots in Atlantic Sun history with 115 rejections.
Destiny Mitchell has scored in double figures in six out of the 13 games on the season and is averaging 11.7 points per contest … Mitchell scored a season-high 26 points in the opener at High Point back on Nov. 10 and added 14 points and 16 rebounds in the 10-point win vs. Memphis to close out the month of November ... Mitchell is currently sixth in the A-Sun in scoring (12.3), third in rebounding (8.6), tied for third in steals (2.3) and fifth in field goal percentage (49.2).
Mitchell is well on her way to become the 21st Lady Buc to join the 1,000-point club ... She is on pace to break the 1,000-point mark near the end of February as she registered 347 points as a freshman and 367 points as a sophomore for 714 total points... through ETSU's first thirteen games of the 2012-13 season she has scored 147 to move her career total to 861 .. if Mitchell scores in similar fashion in the next two years as she did as a rookie and a sophomore, she will put herself in the top-10 in Lady Buc history.
After a solid start to the season for the now eligible transfer, Serena Clark (Tucker, Ga.) has really turned it on when it comes to Atlantic Sun action. Through the first six games of league play, Clark is averaging 8.3 points and 8.2 rebounds per game, including back-to-back double-doubles at Lipscomb and at Northern Kentucky with 10 points & 14 rebounds and 16 points, 10 rebounds & seven steals, respectively.
The Lady Bucs have been a tough team to beat when it comes to the second half of the season (games played from January-March) … since January of 2008, ETSU is 78-33 (.703) in the months of January through March, including a program-best 19-3 mark in 2009-10.
The Lady Bucs have enjoyed a lot of success since joining the A-Sun in 2005-06 … since joining the league, the Lady Buccaneers have averaged 15 conference wins a year, including a league-best and school record 18-2 mark in 2009-10, three Atlantic Sun Tournament titles (2008-2010), and two regular season championships (2008 and 2010) …in total, ETSU is 101-37 (.732) against conference foes since moving into the A-Sun … the Lady Bucs have also won 81 of their last 109 games against conference foes (includes the 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2011 A-Sun Tournaments).
Through the early portion of the season, ETSU has gotten strong contributions from its bench. On the season ETSU averages roughly 20 bench points per game, including a season-high 57 points off the bench against Morehead State. Key reserves Cara Bowling (7.2 ppg) and Tiana Burley (6.0 ppg) have been very valuable for the Lady Bucs off the bench.

άρθρο του Jennifer Howard

στο "The Chronicle of Higher Education"
Publish a scholarly book and, absent a flood or other disaster, chances are it will last as long as a library has space for it—long enough to become part of the conversation in its field if it's notable enough. But create a pioneering work of digital scholarship, and how to preserve it becomes more of a challenge—in fact, one of several. While online scholarship often has dazzle—dynamic maps, data visualizations, or other features that invite interaction and exploration—it can have a harder time catching the eye of scholars who are used to arguments packaged in articles and monographs. Build it, and the experts won't necessarily come—at least not yet in great numbers.
The first challenge is making sure people can get to the work when they do want to come. Analog or digital, no work will have much influence if it doesn't stick around to be cited or argued with. The technological advances that make digital-humanities work possible also put it at risk of obsolescence, as software and hardware decay or become outmoded. Somebody—or a team of somebodies, often based in academic libraries or digital-scholarship centers—has to conduct regular inspections and make sure that today's digital scholarship doesn't become tomorrow's digital junk.
Bradley J. Daigle, director of digital curation services at the University of Virginia Library, calls this "digital stewardship." It's an essential but easily overlooked element in any digital-humanities project. Born-digital work can die. Digital stewardship "involves care and feeding" to make sure that doesn't happen, he says. "My unit essentially pays attention to the life cycle of the digital object."
"Most people conceive of preservation as backups," Mr. Daigle says. But tending a piece of digital scholarship involves much more than just dumping a copy in an archive.
In the past few years, Mr. Daigle's team has gotten a lot of experience in digital stewardship, as early digital-humanities work by Virginia faculty members and graduate students has begun to show its age. One notable example is a Civil War project called Valley of the Shadow, brainchild of Edward L. Ayers, a historian who is now president of the University of Richmond.
When Mr. Ayers began work on the Valley project, in the early 1990s, he was a professor of history at Virginia. He wanted to build an online library of primary-source documents that would shed light on two 19th-century American communities, one Northern and one Southern, from the time of John Brown's raid through the war and Reconstruction. (A lot of digital-humanities work in the 1990s involved the creation of online archives and editions.) Visitors can dip into life in Augusta County, Va., and Franklin County, Pa., before, during, and after the war via newspaper articles, letters and diaries, church and tax records, maps and images, and statistics.
The site invites users to do the searching and interpreting of the materials it includes. "The whole point is that you are supposed to come up with the interpretation," Mr. Ayers says.
It sounds like a simple idea, but "it took 14 years to build, and there's probably a million dollars in it," he says, much of that used to pay for the student labor that built it. By the time the last touches were put on the site, in 2007, technology had moved far beyond where it had been a decade and a half earlier. "When we began, there were no such things as PDF files," Mr. Ayers says. At one point, his team build a CD-ROM for the publisher W.W. Norton, "finishing just in time for nobody to use CD-ROMs" anymore.
One of the graduate students who worked on the project, Andrew J. Torget, is now an assistant professor of history and director of the Digital History Lab at the University of North Texas. "That thing was a hairy beast because it was one of the earliest projects," he says. "It was built and rebuilt over time."
In 2009, Mr. Daigle and the digital-curation unit at Virginia's library were recruited to get the "hairy beast" back into shape technologically. Every element of the project had to be examined.
"What we essentially had to do was standardize it all," Mr. Daigle says. He compares the process to what auto mechanics used to do in the 1950s. "We basically swapped out all the parts and rebuilt the engine," he says. "We took the entire site and atomized it into several hundred thousand individual files," then analyzed them to see if they were damaged or in still-usable formats. Monitoring software now keeps tabs on the site to make sure it continues to function well. Users can email the library to report problems they encounter.
Most of that labor will be invisible to anyone who visits the Valley site, which looks a lot like it did when it was new. Some digital-humanities projects are designed to be open-ended, becoming platforms for subsequent additions, enhancements, and layers of work. (See, for example, the Perseus Digital Library, which took shape decades ago as a digital collection of Greek and Latin texts and has become an ever-expanding teaching-and-research hub for classics.) Others, like the Valley project, have natural limits.
Sometimes, to preserve its integrity as a scholarly resource, a completed piece of digital scholarship not only needs to be kept in good working order but also should look the way it did when its original builders finished it, like a specific edition of a published book that persists over time. The presentation as well as the content becomes an important part of the work's intellectual value.
The stewardship that the Valley project required was neither cheap nor easy. According to Mr. Daigle, the work took two years, a $100,000 grant from the university, and the contributions of three full-time employees and several graduate students—resources that many academic libraries cannot throw at an individual project. Even though the work was expensive, it has made subsequent projects easier to handle, he says.
"With Valley, we were able to create the manual that we can use and apply to other forms of scholarship," Mr. Daigle says. "We've become more sophisticated in how we approach these things. We're better mechanics now."
Scholars who undertake ambitious digital work have a hard reality to face: Not every project can or will get the kind of full-service care that the Valley of the Shadow received. "You can't save everything," Mr. Daigle says. "We had to make some core decisions about whether this project or this scholarship is worth preserving."
The UVa library gets "a steady stream" of old and new digital projects it could archive. If a faculty member wants to keep tinkering with a site, or if the project relies on a format, like Adobe Flash, that isn't intended for the long haul, the library might have to say no or give it a bare-bones treatment—taking a snapshot of it or making it available as a download, for instance, rather than doing an engine rebuild, as it did with Valley.
Mr. Daigle advises scholars who want to pursue digital-humanities work to consult with their librarians and put long-term archiving strategies in place early on. "Think about the life cycle of preservation," he says. "The more you do that, the longer it's going to be around, and that is time well spent."
Preserving something doesn't guarantee that anybody will use it, of course. That's just as true of digital scholarship as it is of print monographs. But digital work has the advantage of existing online, potentially within reach of anyone with an Internet connection.
The Valley of the Shadow often gets assigned in history courses, according to Mr. Ayers and Mr. Daigle. In one 24-hour period last month, the site received almost 600 visits—not bad for a digital resource that began life 20 years ago, before eye-catching visualizations and the kinds of interactive approaches one sees now. "We know that we've reached millions of people with this, and we know that it's used around the world, even though we haven't changed it in six years," Mr. Ayers says.
He's less sure that Valley has had a direct influence on scholarship. "I'm not sure you're a pioneer if nobody follows you," he says. Aside from his own book In the Presence of Mine Enemies: War in the Heart of America, 1859-1863, which won the Bancroft Prize in 2004, Mr. Ayers doesn't know of scholarly books that use Valley of the Shadow as a base. More people may be citing primary sources they find on the site than citing the site itself.
The project has had an undeniable influence as a training ground for a younger generation of scholars moving up the academic ranks and taking the technical skills and approaches they learned with them. "It's fundamentally shaped my research," says Mr. Torget, of North Texas, who had no tech skills to speak of when he went to graduate school at UVa to study the South.
Working with Mr. Ayers and the Valley group gave him "the confidence to learn new technologies as I needed them for my own work," he says. He learned how to manage a project and build a team of collaborators, which is vital to much digital-humanities work but isn't part of traditional humanities training.
For his dissertation, Mr. Torget created the Texas Slavery Project, "animating and exploring" the history of emancipation in the Texas borderlands. The work was heavily informed by Valley of the Shadow. And like Valley, the borderlands site has appealed to people who aren't professional historians. Mr. Torget gets more email about it from genealogists than from any other group.
It makes sense, he says, because much of the scholarly give-and-take in history is "a very slow book-by-book kind of thing." Digital scholarship "invites a broad spectrum of people who wouldn't be reading our stuff in The Journal of American History or The American Historical Review," two of the field's leading scholarly journals.
Still, Mr. Torget hopes that scholars as well as genealogists will pick up on what he's done. The Texas Slavey Project gets used "for classes and for research," he says, but as far as he knows it hasn't yet been cited by scholars. "I would love to have somebody take the materials I've put together and use them," he says. "It's something I've come to believe: that the most interesting thing someone's going to do with your data is something you've never thought of."
Although it comes in a multitude of forms, digital scholarship can be cited and referenced like more traditional work. (The day is coming when phrases like "more traditional work" won't be useful anymore, as digital approaches become more common and visualizations or other nonmonographic treatments of literary and historical data start to look as familiar as book-length arguments.) And while citations aren't yet plentiful enough to satisfy many digital scholars, there's immediate proof of their influence: Their work keeps inspiring new work. Look at the next round of digital scholarship under construction at places like the University of Richmond's Digital Scholarship Lab. It just released an interactive digital edition of Charles O. Paullin and John K. Wright's 1932 Atlas of the Historical Geography of the United States. Robert K. Nelson, the lab's director, describes the atlas as a "prelude" to a much larger attempt to rethink what a historical atlas ought to be and do in the 21st century.
Mr. Nelson got his start as a digital humanist on another seminal first-generation digital project, the Walt Whitman Archive. The lab's associate director, Scott Nesbit, worked with Mr. Ayers on Valley of the Shadow.
Mr. Nelson and Mr. Nesbit describe how digital-humanities work has begun to evolve from its early emphasis on editorial projects—building online collections and editions of primary materials, for instance. "You do that and you realize you want to do things that are interpretive," Mr. Nelson says.
That spirit animates another of the lab's creations, Visualizing Emancipation. It maps specific "emancipation events"—people fleeing slavery, for instance—that touched individuals all over Civil War-era America, not just in the halls of politics or on the battlefield but also on farms and plantations, in cities and towns. The work keeps expanding; at its heart is a data set of 3,400 "documented places where we've found slavery changing in some way during the war years," Mr. Nesbit says.
Presenting those data as different, manipulable layers provides "a much richer picture of how emancipation works," he says. "It did not run in one direction. It looked very different at the level of the individual than it did to the nation as a whole. We wanted to be able to build a map that reflected this complexity."
Unlike Valley, which is more self-contained, the site makes other kinds of connections as well. It points users to relevant digital-humanities sites elsewhere, as long as those sites are "robust and mature" enough to be reliable, Mr. Nesbit says, invoking the need for good digital stewardship.
The Visualizing Emancipation site wouldn't exist without precedents like Valley of the Shadow, according to Mr. Nelson. But the field has only begun to explore the kinds of fresh analyses that digital approaches have put within humanists' reach.
"That's probably one of the modest disappointments of digital humanities 20 years into this enterprise—that it hasn't spawned more broad scholarship," Mr. Nelson says. "The challenge and the opportunity for the digital humanities is to start making arguments and producing interpretations that are going to be of interest to people who are not necessarily invested in the digital humanities as an enterprise."

Collierville-based Parkview Memphis Apartments LP has bought Parkview Apartments at 4616 Scott Crossing Drive from Los Angeles-based City National Bank for $2.6 million.
The buyer financed the purchase with a $6 million construction trust deed through Triumph Bank.
The buying limited partnership shares a Collierville address with Grant & Co. LLC and Keith and David Grant Homes LLC.
Parkview is a Class C complex with 384 units in two-story buildings constructed in 1974 on 22.6 acres south of Raleigh-LaGrange Road west of Parkview Road in Raleigh.
The property has been involved in two foreclosure sales in the past several years.
U.S. Bank NA bought the property back through a March 2006 foreclosure sale for $5.5 million. The next year, U.S. Bank sold the property to Miami-based Alterra Capital Group for $6.6 million – Alterra's third apartment complex in the Memphis area. Alterra financed it for $7.9 million at the time.
Alterra defaulted on that loan, and the property was again sold in foreclosure in 2010 – this time for $1.7 million to City National Bank.
Now City National is divesting the property again.
The 2011 appraisal from the Shelby County Assessor of Property's office – which lists the property at 4616 Raleigh-LaGrange Road – is $3 million.

Delta Air Lines Inc. will end regular daily service between Memphis International Airport and Amsterdam's Airport Schiphol starting in September.
The service that began under a Northwest KLM agreement in 1995 will return in the summer and remain on a seasonal basis after that.
Atlanta-based Delta and other global air carriers have long lamented the difficulty of maintaining trans-Atlantic service in the winter off-season for tourism as travel to and from Asian and Latin American markets continues to grow across different travel seasons.
Delta had cut the Amsterdam flights to four days a week effective last September. At the time, it was billed as a seasonal reduction even as other cutbacks were part of Delta's strategy of making permanent cuts to its capacity.
Delta's announcement of the changes to the Memphis-Amsterdam route followed KLM's announcement of its summer schedule last week.
The KLM announcement made no mention of Memphis but outlined a strategy of "selective growth" in North America including Amsterdam-Atlanta service four times a day when the Atlanta airport, which is Delta's flagship hub, opens its new international terminal in June.
The service is also being offered four times a day at Detroit and three times daily at Minneapolis and New York City's John F. Kennedy Airport for a total of 14 flights a day at the four hubs starting March 25 through the end of October.

Robert Chapman, late owner of Molly's La Casita, was posthumously honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.
The annual banquet and fundraiser's theme this year, "Gettin' Back to Our Roots Y'all," featured a salute to traditional Memphis fare.
The menu, prepared by Peabody chef Andreas Kisler, included a fried green tomato bar, fried chicken stuffed with a sweet corn soufflé and Delta cornmeal peach upside-down cake.
Funds generated from the banquet help cover general operating expenses that allow MRA to continue its educational programming and governmental services for the Memphis restaurant community.

Samuel Adefeyisan has purchased the Ashley Manor Apartments – two separate buildings totaling 16 one-bedroom condo units in Midtown – from John P. Waddell and Nancy S. Waddell for $1 million.
The purchase was financed with an $850,000 trust deed through Magna Bank.
The apartments, which are at 129 and 137 N. Belvedere St., sold for or $62,500 per unit. The 2011 appraisal from the Shelby County Assessor of Property was $72,200 per unit.
Steve Woodyard, president of Woodyard Realty Corp., represented all parties.
The buildings were built in 1920 and were converted and renovated for sale as condominiums in 2007 and 2008. The condos were offered for sale in the range of $119,900 per condo, which corresponded with the crash in the residential market and the lack of condo financing, so the owners quickly leased out the condos as upscale rental units, according to a Woodyard Realty statement.
Woodyard has sold Ashley Manor for five different owners since 1984.
Artspace Projects Inc. will host an event Wednesday, March 7, to solicit feedback from the local arts community on the project it is developing at the former United Warehouse building, 138 St. Paul Ave.

Artists are welcome to visit and speak with the Artspace staff and local architects about special amenities and features they would like to see included in the eventual development.
Artspace's mission is to create, foster and preserve affordable space for artists and arts organizations.

Chairman Ben Bernanke told lawmakers Wednesday, Feb. 29, that the economy has performed better in recent months than the Federal Reserve had expected. If the trend continues, he said the Fed might have to reassess its outlook for a slow recovery.
Investors appeared to take Bernanke's more optimistic tone as a signal that the Fed is less likely to adopt further steps to boost growth. It could also mean that the Fed could back off its plan to hold its key interest rate near zero until late 2014.
Analysts said Bernanke's speech was notable for what it didn't include: any mention of a new round of government bond-buying.

Spider88 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de otro y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 58 diseños de 9 diseñadores freelance.
We have developed an online educational quiz game that is similar in concept to hangman.
The player is presented with the definition of a word and a sentence which uses the word. However the word is blanked out with underscores for each missing letter. The player's goal is to select letters from the screen keyboard and try to determine the missing word with as few incorrect letters and in the shortest possible time. To achieve maximum points (1000 points), a player must determine the missing word in less than 20 seconds and enter each letter in the correct order.
The core functionality of the game is now complete and can be viewed and played at http://bit.ly/bpvAFk (Chrome, Safari , FF)
The game now awaits the skills of a talented designer to turn "programmer graphics" into "designer graphics".
We want QizWiz to be the best game in the world for people to expand their vocabulary and have fun.
The game should appeal to players of all ages from 5 to 105. Therefore the graphics should appeal to all age groups and should be edgy and crisp.
The is a casual web-based educational game that can be played on mobile devices as well as on desktop browsers.
The design should work for both the iPad and iPhone screen size (portrait and landscape). We're not looking for two separate designs - we're looking for one design that can be adapted by simply moving elements around or resizing images.
We require the following graphics for the QizWiz iPhone and iPad app.
1. iPhone/iPad splash screen – 320x480px, 768x1024px
2. iPhone/iPad application icon – 57x57px, 72x72px 512x512px
3. Game Main Screen - see attached mockup.
Attached is a screen mockup done by me, the programmer of QizWiz.
You can take this design and improve it. Fix up the colors and design elements such as icons, logo and backgrounds, or you can go crazy and produce an entirely new design and style and incorporate a cartoon-like character.
The competition winner will not only take home the prize, but can also have their name up in lights in the game credits.
We need your artwork to be provided in a layered .PSD file, so that we can easily resize graphics as needed, and add/remove elements as the project evolves.

Jim Townsend of Okanogan and the Columbia Basin River Dogs 18U baseball team topped Crater Lake, 6-3, to win the Pacific Northwest Senior Babe Ruth regional tournament Aug. 4 and advance to the Babe Ruth World Series.
The national tournament is Aug. 15-22 in Andalusia, Ala.
The River Dogs open pool play at the World Series against the Ohio Valley champions at noon, Aug. 15.
Other teams in the pool include New England (10 a.m. Aug. 16), Southwest (1 p.m. Aug. 17) and Alabama State Champion (4 p.m. Aug. 18).
The Top 3 from each pool advance to play Aug. 20-22 for the national title. Pool winners receive a first-round bye.
The Columbia Basin River Dogs reached the regional tournament by taking first in the North Washington tournament last month. They spruced up, going 3-0 at the 2013 Washington State Open last week.
Townsend was batting .306 with a double, triple and 5 stolen bases in limited play (49 at-bats) with the River Dogs before heading to the regional tournament.
He also pitched in six games, compiling a 2-2 record and 3.92 ERA over 25 innings.
The Columbia Basin Dogs 15-and-under baseball team came up a game short last weekend of reaching the Babe Ruth World Series.
On the team were Tyler Wood of Okanogan, Chase Rubert of Malott, Derek Alumbaugh of Winthrop, Cole Darwood of Twisp, Sam Thomsen of Methow and Luke Gleasman of Chelan.
The host Twin Cities from Chehalis/Centralia topped Columbia Basin in the championship.
To reach the regional tournament, Columbia Basin won the North Washington Babe Ruth State Championship.
"A few early on errors caused quite a ripple," Carine Wood said.
I heard that the Columbia Basin River Dogs, on which Jim Townsend of Okanogan plays, won a game in its tournament to reach the national tournament.
The regional tournament for the big dogs was to continue this week, according to the Babe Ruth League, Pacific Northwest Region website.
The big dogs went 3-0 at the 2013 Washington State Open last week before heading to Klamath Falls for the regional tournament.

Migration to cities can equalize household income in rural China
With Nong Zhu
Migrant workers have been contributing to one-sixth of China's GDP growth since the mid 1980s. The impact of rural migrants' contribution is best seen in cities during the Chinese New Year, when they return to reunite with their families, leaving behind a massive urban labor shortage. This happens every year despite urban families and restaurant owners offering high bonuses.
There is a consensus that migration has contributed to increased rural income, but views differ on its impact on rural inequality. My view is that rural households with higher incomes are not more likely than poorer households to participate in migration or benefit disproportionately from it. Adding to my recent blog in People Move, I would like to discuss the reasons behind this.

Re-Viewing Films
I'm curious about the nature and degree of re-viewing practices. I tend to re-view films a lot. I noticed that last year, about one out of every four films I saw was something I had seen before.
One reason for re-viewing is to get closer and deeper into films or filmmakers whose work we already feel a strong degree of comfort and familiarity with. These are works whose cinephilic pleasure is more or less assured. Our previous, pre-existing response to the work is not likely to be seriously questioned. But these repeat visits are nevertheless valuable. They take us further, each time, into the work and its constituent details (its very 'molecular structure'), allowing us a greater intimacy and thus fluency in thinking and talking about it. For me, some examples here might be: Hitchcock, Hawks, Renoir, Fassbinder, Lang, Lubitsch, Demy, Wong, Wes Anderson.
Sometimes, this can be taken to obsessive extremes. There are films one has watched more times than one really needs to, chiefly because their pleasure-giving capacity is endless, even if (at this point) each subsequent viewing yields diminishing returns in terms of critical insight. Nevertheless, these films are evergreen, hard to tire of. I know I've probably done this with: e.g. Demy's The Young Girls of Rochefort, Sirk's All That Heaven Allows, Wong's Happy Together, Hartley's Surviving Desire, and (idiosyncratically) Roman Polanski's Frantic.
A somewhat different reason for re-viewing is a filmmaker one feels an affinity for, but whose work is challenging enough to not make us feel completely comfortable. Perhaps we are on our way to cultivating a reasonably well-developed appreciation and understanding but the work hasn't fully opened itself up to us yet. Occasionally (not always), these films might also make huge sensory demands on us, making them impossible to even fully apprehend on first viewing, thus making repeat viewings essential. For this category, I'm thinking (in my case) of Godard, Marker, Resnais, Straub-Huillet, Brakhage, Costa, etc.
When the closing credits of Costa's Colossal Youth were rolling, I remember Darren leaning over to me to say that he was ready to watch the film all over again, right there and then; I felt exactly the same way. I saw my first Ruiz, Three Crowns of a Sailor, last week, and had the identical feeling. Even as I was watching Three Crowns, enjoying it immensely, I knew that the film, in its fleetness and density of invention, was already eluding my ability to 'affix' it to my memory in a strong and lasting fashion.
Sometimes, the reason for re-visit is frustration and difficulty. One reason I was thankful for the Abel Ferrara blog-a-thon a year ago was that I had mixed feelings about Ferrara at the time. There was much I admired about his work but I also felt blocked by his films in some ways—they didn't allow me the clean, clear, unproblematic access to 'getting' them and loving them that I had (with much less effort, it seemed) with so many of my favorite filmmakers. That has since steadily changed (more on Ferrara in a soon-to-come post). Another example filmmaker here is Bertolucci, whom I've had trouble with; I hope to give him a renewed try at some point.
All too often, reading a great book or essay is sufficient reason to revisit a film or oeuvre, to 'see it through new eyes.' This happens to me a lot, most recently with Nicole Brenez's book on Ferrara. Other examples: Tom Gunning on Fritz Lang; Chris Fujiwara on Jacques Tourneur; Adrian Martin on late 20th-century Hollywood cinema (Phantasms); Gilberto Perez on Dovzhenko, Godard, and Renoir (The Material Ghost); Robert Philip Kolker on the neo-realists, Godard, and Antonioni (The Altering Eye). Last night, after reading some appetite-whetting words about it, I sent away for a book on Woody Allen by surrealist-influenced Positif critic Robert Benayoun. I haven't been an Allen enthusiast for many years now, but perhaps the book might end up spurring some Allen revisiting.
There is also the matter of Time. There are films I saw 10 or 20 years ago in my early film-buff days that have receded almost completely into oblivion. Perhaps this is less of a problem for the tender-aged cinephile but for someone like me who was born the year Godard made Contempt (1963), the memory bank needs recharging every now and then. To make things interesting, I won't of course be seeing those films with the same 'eyes' I did back then. And as time goes by, since we are constantly in flux—always in the process of 'becoming'—how can we still cling confidently to evaluations we made years ago?
Finally, there is the opportunity cost to be dealt with: every re-viewing automatically means foregoing a (new, strange, vital…?) experience with a film we've never seen before….
So, if you feel like it, I'm wondering: What are your re-viewing practices like? Do you revisit films? And do you do so less or more than you used to? Are there some filmmakers or kinds of films that particularly lend themselves to revisiting? And any other thoughts you may have on the subject….
So, several years ago, soon after seeing Jean-Pierre Melville's Leon Morin, Priest at Cinematheque Ontario, I pulled Rui Nogueira's book on Melville, in perfect condition, from under a big rickety stack at a Binghamton used-bookstore. I bought it for three dollars. I mentioned this at the time to James Quandt who seemed surprised: "That's a rare book—you should hold on to it." This morning, surfing Amazon, I discover that used copies are going for as much as twenty-four hundred bucks. Crazy.

Lopez looks to quit US F1
- Drivers:
- Ken Anderson

- Jose Maria Lopez

- Peter Windsor
- Teams:
The manager of the only driver currently under contract with US F1, Jose Maria Lopez, is working to extricate his client from the team.
Victor Rosso, who is part of the Argentinean driver's management team, told Cadena 3 Cordoba radio that manager Felipe McGough has been working on extracting Lopez from his contract. He also said McGough is trying to get back the US$830,000 advance that was paid to secure his drive.
Campos, which is likely to be renamed Hispania Racing, has already signed Bruno Senna and looks set to announce Indian GP2 driver Karun Chandhok as its second driver. This leaves only the test driver role for Lopez.
McGough said the Lopez group has a "good relationship" with Campos' new owner Jose Ramon Carabante. "We have already told him that Lopez is free, they are aware of everything, and now we are waiting to see what is decided in Europe. We are looking at anything that allows Jose Maria to stay in Formula One, even as the reserve driver," said McGough. He added that one possibility is that Lopez could drive in the Friday-morning practice sessions, a similar deal to that of Force India test driver Paul di Resta.
In the interview he was also particularly critical of team principal Ken Anderson. "Ken Anderson and Peter Windsor will travel to Argentina in the coming days to give us an explanation about everything that has happened, since the sole responsibility is theirs. The main culprit is Ken Anderson. He deceived the FIA, FOTA [Formula One teams' association], FOM [Formula One Management] and broke the Concorde Agreement. "

Jimmy Fallon's summer just bites.
The 40-year-old host of NBC's "Tonight Show" said on Instagram on Friday that he had chipped his tooth.
The incident may not have happened had he not severely injured his finger almost two months ago.
"Chipped front tooth trying to open tube of scar tissue repair gel for recovering finger injury," he wrote, alongside a selfie of himself sitting in an examination chair at a dentist's office. "Thank you Dr. Jobe DDS! #BestSummerEver Brand new Tonight Show tonight!"
NEWS: Jimmy Fallon steps out with a cast, jokes he "invented a new type of wedding ring" after finger injury
Fallon had said on "The Tonight Show" that he injured his finger while suffering a fall at his New York City home and had to have surgery to avoid amputation. He was hospitalized at an ICU for 10 days, told he wouldn't regain feeling in his hand for two months and later fitted with a cast.
"I should say, the fall was funny. I'm a comedian so I have to fall funny," he said. "On a scale from 1 to 10, it was almost Jerry Lewis-y. I feel bad for anyone who trips, but if it was me watching me, I would laugh."

Arthritis after Vioxx®February 2005
By Richard P. Huemer, MD
Your Trusted Brand for Over 35 Years
Life Extension Magazine
By Richard P. Huemer, MD
Last fall, doctors and patients were stunned by Merck's voluntary worldwide withdrawal of its arthritis drug Vioxx® (rofecoxib) from the market, the largest prescription drug withdrawal in history. Vioxx® and other COX-2 (cyclooxygenase-2) inhibitors had been promoted as "wonder drugs" because of their ability to relieve arthritis pain without causing the stomach problems associated with other pain medications.
This startling decision to abandon Vioxx®
followed the report of a significant increase in heart attacks and strokes among long-term users of the drug.1,2 An estimated 80 million people had taken Vioxx® by the time it was withdrawn, and annual sales of the drug exceeded $2.5 billion. The news media speculated on which drugs might fill the gap left by Vioxx®, while devoting curiously little attention to natural arthritis remedies.3
Although Merck's announcement came as a surprise to many, doubts about the drug had surfaced years earlier. In early 2001—less two years after the FDA approved Vioxx®—the FDA's Advisory Committee on Arthritis met to discuss potential cardiovascular risks associated with Vioxx®.
Critics Blast FDA, Merck
Commenting on the 2001 FDA Advisory Committee meeting, Eric J. Topol, MD, wrote a stinging editorial in the October 21, 2004, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, titled "Failing the Public Health—Rofecoxib, Merck, and the FDA." Dr. Topol charged that the FDA never exercised its initiative to mandate a trial of rofecoxib (Vioxx®) and a similar drug, celecoxib (Celebrex®), in relation to their cardiovascular risks or benefits, despite evidence suggesting a correlation. Nor did Merck embrace the idea of conducting a trial to assess cardiovascular risk or benefit associated with Vioxx®. Instead, Merck sponsored educational symposia and commissioned medical articles to debunk the cardiovascular concerns associated with Vioxx®, while spending more than $100 million a year to promote the drug with direct-to-consumer advertising.4
In November 2004, Dr. David Graham, associate director for science at the FDA's Office of Drug Safety and a 20-year FDA scientist, testified before Congress about the FDA's failure to protect the public health, calling the agency's oversight of the drug "a profound regulatory failure." Although concerns about the safety of Vioxx® had been building for several years, the FDA maintained that the drug's benefits of providing pain relief with minimal gastrointestinal side effects warranted keeping it on the market, albeit with a warning about heart risks. Vioxx® was finally taken off the market on September 30, 2004, following the release of a study showing that the drug doubled the risk of heart attack and stroke in long-term users.
By this time, millions of Americans had used the drug, and Dr. Graham estimated that Vioxx® had caused 88,000-139,000 excess cases of heart attack and stroke. "I would argue the FDA as currently configured is incapable of protecting America against another Vioxx®. We are virtually defenseless," said Dr. Graham. During his testimony, Dr. Graham noted that he felt pressured by supervisors to water down his findings from a study of patient insurance records indicating that Vioxx® increased heart attack risk. US Senate Finance Committee Chairman Charles Grassley, an Iowa Republican, said he worried that the FDA was "far too cozy" with drug companies, noting that an independent drug safety office might be needed.
Lethal Dangers of Blocking Only COX-2
If you read the July 2000 issue of Life Extension, you would have learned how COX-2 inhibitor drugs can damage your body. Our article described the specific destructive mechanisms that occur when the COX-2 enzyme is inhibited in the body.
The problem with inhibiting only the COX-2 enzyme is that metabolic imbalances occur, resulting in an overproduction of byproducts that damage the arterial wall and induce arterial blood clotting.5 This excess production of toxic byproducts results in increased incidence of heart attack and stroke,6 as evidenced by the higher rates of adverse cardiovascular events in those who took Vioxx®.
Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions in the body. In the case of the COX-2 enzyme, that hastened chemical reaction is the conversion of arachidonic acid into a pro-inflammatory agent called prostaglandin E2. When COX-2 is inhibited, less prost-aglandin E2 is converted from arachidonic acid, and most people experience a corresponding reduction in arthritis pain and inflam-mation. Unfortunately, when arachidonic acid is blocked from conversion to prostaglandin E2, other enzymes can still convert arachidonic acid into dangerous substances such as leukotriene B4 and thromboxane A2.7,8
Leukotriene B4 is a pro-inflammatory agent8 that is especially destructive to the arterial lining and joints.9,10 Numerous studies document the atherosclerosis-inducing effects of leukotriene B4.9 The enzyme that facilitates the conversion of arachidonic acid to leukotriene B4 is called 5-lipooxygenase (5-LOX). If a person takes a drug that inhibits only COX-2 but does not interfere with 5-LOX, the result can be accelerated atherosclerosis, as more substrate (arachidonic acid) is available for conversion to toxic leukotriene B4.9
Thromboxane A2 induces blood platelet aggregation and promotes abnormal blood clotting within the arteries, which causes many types of heart attacks and strokes.5,11 The enzyme responsible for converting arachidonic acid into thromboxane A2 is called cyclooxygenase-1 (COX-1).12 Aspirin inhibits the COX-1 enzyme and is known to dramatically reduce heart attack and ischemic stroke risk.11 Unfortunately, many patients prescribed COX-2 inhibitors are told to avoid even low-dose aspirin to guard against stomach ulceration. The fatal result can be excess amounts of clot-inducing thromboxane A2 being manufactured from the excess arachidonic acid produced as a result of a COX-2 inhibitor drug.
These destructive mechanisms are illustrated in the sidebar below ("Arachidonic Acid's Destructive Cascade"), which shows how blocking only the COX-2 enzyme can result in metabolic imbalances that can cause dangerously high levels of leukotriene B4 and thomboxane A2. Leukotriene B4 damages arterial walls, while thromboxane A2 increases the risk of abnormal arterial blood clotting.5,9
A Cardiovascular Benefit of COX-2
There are many reasons why one would want to suppress excess COX-2. Not only does it speed up the conversion of arachidonic acid into pro-inflammatory prostaglan-din E2, but the COX-2 enzyme itself has been shown to facilitate the development and progression of certain cancers.13
Life Extension first recommend-ed inhibiting COX-2 as an adjuvant cancer therapy in 1996, and major cancer centers are prescribing COX-2 inhibitors such as Celebrex®14,15 to most of their cancer patients. The (albeit limited) effect of aspirin and ibuprofen in inhibiting COX-2 is one mechanism that researchers speculate to be responsible for lower incidences of certain cancers in those who regularly take aspirin or ibuprofen.16
The one benefit of COX-2 is that it facilitates the formation of prostacyclin, also called prostaglandin I2, which has favorable effects on the vascular system by inhibiting platelet aggregation, inducing healthy arterial dilation, and preventing the proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the arterial wall.5,11 Excess proliferation of smooth muscle cells from the middle layer of the artery into the endothelium is a key mechanism in the formation of atherosclerotic plaque. Prostacyclin is formed from arachidonic acid primarily by the COX-2 enzyme.11 When a powerful COX-2 inhibitor drug is taken, less beneficial prostacyclin is available to protect against heart attack and stroke.11
How Dangerous Are COX-2 Inhibitors?
We have just defined three mechanisms by which COX-2 inhibitor drugs may cause atherosclerosis, thrombosis, and the ensuing in-creased incidence of heart attack and stroke. Based on the number of published studies documenting these pathological mechanisms, it is surprising that there are not even greater numbers of adverse cardiovascular events.
Some researchers fear that the clinical studies that were used to obtain approval of these drugs were not of sufficient duration to gather statistically significant data. Other researchers believe that the drug companies and FDA ignored early warnings of cardiovascular risks in this class of drug.
What follows is a summary of what happens when one takes only a COX-2 inhibitor while ignoring the effects of other enzymes on arachidonic acid metabolism:
These three mechanisms were long ago established, yet the FDA did not even consider them and allowed potent COX-2 inhibitors to be marketed because they caused less gastric ulceration.
As you have read, the precursor of most inflammatory problems is arachidonic acid, which is the substrate for the enzymatic formation of prostaglandin E2, leukotriene B4, and thromboxane A2.
Most Americans produce too much arachidonic acid because they consume too many foods that are high in omega-6 fatty acids. The best way of reducing arachidonic acid is to reduce meat consumption and eat more fish or take fish oil supplements. Substituting healthy foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids for dangerous omega-6 fats will mitigate a significant underlying cause of arthritis, heart attack, stroke, and other chronic inflammatory-related diseases.17

NYCC 2012: Marvel Digital Looks to INFINITE COMICS Future
Friday Morning, Marvel hosted their annual House of Ideas: Digital and Infinite Comics panel, which promised to touch on everything from Marvel's digital and Infinite comics, to their recently introduced AR content, to their social media presence. Hosting the panel was Marvel's Director of Communications, Arune Singh, joined by David Gabriel, the Senior VP of Sales & Circulation, Kristin Vincent, the Director of Product Strategy & Digital Media, Senior X-Men Editor Nick Lowe, writers Mark Waid and Matt Kindt, Ryan Penagos, AKA Agent M, and Steve Wacker, who Singh introduced as "the star of TV's Mad Men."
The first topic of discussion was Marvel ReEvolution, which Singh has declared is "not a spelling error," but a concept introduced at the SXSW music festival which aims to update, integrate, and evolve all aspects of Marvel's product line, with a particular focus on digital comics. According to Singh, thousands of fans are downloading and enjoying Marvel's digital content on their mobile devices, which Marvel hopes will encourage people who don't have regular access to comic stores to seek out their product.
Something many fans may not know is that Marvel gives fifty cents to retailers for every redemption of a free download code from their print comics that were purchased at that retailer. At this point, digital redemptions have returned nearly $200,000 to retailers, and the program will continue for at least six months, through Marvel NOW!. Nick Lowe described the situation as "Win, win win!" and Singh said, "Retailers are the lifeblood of this industry, and we wouldn't want to do this without them." Additionally, it looks like the AvX hardcover will include download codes for digital copies of all the individual issues of AvX, AvX Vs., and the Infinite Comics tie-ins.
On the topic of Marvel NOW!, David Gabriel described the relaunch not as "rebooting, but recharging." Numerous Marvel NOW! titles will include an increased amount of AR content, including appearances from celebrities such as wrestlers Diamond Dallas Page, who has a particularly insane AR segment in issue 1 of Waid's Indestructible Hulk, and Hulk Hogan, whose energetic recording session caused Agent M to "transcend his body" with excitement.
Next, discussion turned to Marvel's Infinte Comics, comics designed specifically to make use of digital media. Waid said that Infinite Comics offer opportunities for unique storytelling devices, and evolving art. "The only place I can surprise a reader in a print comic is on the upper left panel of a page," Waid explains, "But because Infinite Comics are based on screens, not panels, there are more opportunities for 'Oh my God, he's dead!' moments."
In honor of Spider-Man's anniversary, New York has declared Sunday "Spider-Man Day," and Marvel is releasing a free Spider-Man Infinite Comic, wherein Spider-Man meets New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg. Several fans, including one dressed as Marty McFly, were invited onstage to preview the book. The reviews came in, and they loved it. McFly compared it to a cut-scene from an old school video game, where you're being taken through a story, rather than just reading a comic.
Steve Wacker was presented with a signed proclamation from Mayor Bloomberg in honor of Spider-Man Day, which Wacker described as "loved by Mayor Bloomberg, hated by J. Jonah Jameson." Mark Waid is encouraging fans to take pictures of Wacker with the large, formal looking Proclamation, and photoshop the text of the document.
Next up, Kristin Vincent took the stage, proclaiming that "women DO work in comics!" Wacker feigned indignation, proclaiming that he's there to represent the "men of Marvel." Vincent announced that, by the end of the year, Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited will be available on iPads and other mobile devices, and that early next year, there will be an app that allows fans to queue books to read even when they don't have internet access.
Vincent also instituted a program at SDCC, that is continuing this weekend, called Marvel Advisors, which allows fans to provide feedback about Marvel's product line and web presence. She compares the process to the dialogue between fans and creators from old-school letter columns. One of their main goals is to revamp the Marvel website to provide "full service editorial content," and to update the user interface, and add new social features.
A fan wanted to know whether AR content will be available in Infinite Comics, but Lowe and Wacker said that you'd have to have two devices. Lowe said, "I guess you could scan your iPhone with your Android," to which Wacker responded, "But the spacetime continuum would collapse - don't cross the streams!" The fan suggested an AR button instead of a scan, and Vincent said that's already in the works. Wacker also told a fan that he wants to present Superior Spider-Man's letter column as AR content featuring video messages from fans. He may reach a deal to make that happen by the end of next year.
Agent M wanted to show some of the exclusive content being developed for Marvel's web-presence, inclduing "Marvel Superheroes - What The?!" which Singh describes as "Like Robot Chicken, but funnier, and featuring Marvel Superheroes." The short they presented was preceded by a disclaimer warning of violence and nudity, and showed the Marvel characters at a cook out, which was also being attended by some of Capcom's most popular characters. Things quickly devolve into a hilarious group fight scene, which prompted Dr. Strange to desperately ask, "Is this happening?!?" before being disintegrated. Also, Taskmaster is apparently a vegan. After the short is done, Wacker indignantly demanded to know "where was the nudity?"
Also evolving is Marvel's video game universe, which Singh calls "Marvel XP," and is based around Marvel's popular Facebook game, Avengers Alliance, and the recently released mobile game Avengers Initiative. Singh compares the game world to the Avengers film franchise, saying the storylines of the various games are building to something "huge."
Finally, the floor was opened to fan questions, including more questions about AR content, which seems very popular, and a fan asking how Marvel's merger with Disney has affected the company. Singh explained that the biggest change has come from an increased toolbox for promotion and digital presence, with virtually no changes in content, or any editorial interference. "They acquired us cause they liked what we were doing, not to change us." "They made us kill Nightcrawler," Wacker quipped.Got a comment? There's lots of conversation on Newsarama's FACEBOOK and TWITTER!
