State teacher fund to vote on steel-mill investment
By The Associated Press
This article was published February 4, 2013 at 7:06 a.m.

LITTLE ROCK Trustees of the Arkansas Teacher Retirement System are to vote on a proposal to invest $60 million in a steel mill that is planned in Osceola.
System Director George Hopkins says his staff and a consultant spent six months researching the project before Monday's expected vote. Hopkins says the project appears sound and could generate a 40 percent return for the fund within five years.
The $60 million investment, if it happens, represents about one-half of 1 percent of the fund's $12.25 billion balance.
Gov. Mike Beebe announced the $1 billion Big River Steel mill last week. The project needs the Legislature to sign off on a $125 million loan.
The Teacher Retirement System investment is contingent on the loan being approved and regulatory hurdles being cleared.

If it is going to generate a 40% return, why can't the project obtain all the funds from private sources? Business people would love a 40% rate of return.

Notice how they are hurrying this project through in a hurry? They don't want the teachers to have time to object to their pension funds being donated to a Koch brothers pollution project. Now, all the good science teachers in Arkansas can explain to their students why their pension funds are helping to fund the demise of the Mississippi River.

It was clever to get the teachers retirement fund to vote on this first. (Of course, their "consultant" for the $60 million investment is Delta Trust, a local bank.) The legislators can rubber stamp this loan to the Kochs, arguing that they are supporting teachers and jobs. This is how corruption and the pollution industry works. Oh, the poor Mississippi River!

Populist, I just don't get you. I thought this would be right down your alley, with GOVERNMENT being involved every step of the way. And isn't this what the bureaucratic EPA and PC&E are for, to make sure nothing gets polluted? I don't hear these kinds of complaints about Nucor. Methinks you are just offended by the fact that a right-leaning group is behind this, so there has to be something wrong with it. Perhaps you should ask these questions to Guv Mike and the rest of GOVERNMENT, because without them, to quote your current hero, "You didn't build that!"

( permalink | suggest removal )
inquire says... February 4, 2013 at 11:29 a.m.
It isn't hard to find how Nucor has been guilty of blatantly disregarding the environmental laws. They consider it just a part of their overhead when they get caught and pay a fine. In 2000, they were subject to paying the largest settlement ever by a steel manufacturer. The EPA, Justice Department, and seven states (including Arkansas) went after them for releasing thousands of tons of illegal waste to the air each year, and contaminating the soil and groundwater with lead and cadmium.
Too many people can't be bothered to think about pollution and it's long term effects on our health and the viability of our land.

So inquire, you'd rather ship these jobs off to China or somewhere else? I am as against polluting the environment more than most people. I make my living from the land. But I am realistic enough to know this world is not a perfect utopia, and if someone here doesn't doesn't make steel, someone somewhere else will, probably with a lot more pollution and environmental destruction. And that is without taking into account the way workers might be treated. If EPA and PC&E can't do their jobs, then why do we waste the effort and money?
( permalink | suggest removal )
inquire says... February 4, 2013 at 12:15 p.m.
We only need jobs from companies that will obey the law and be careful and legal with their waste. I would be all for the government shutting them down if they broke the law. Our health depends on it.
I wish the EPA had a lot more teeth, but without it, some companies would poison us all for sure. The conservatives would love to get rid of all government oversight and let their rich pals get even richer by poisoning us all. They simply don't care. A huge fine means nothing to companies like Nucor. Padlocking the toxic operation might get them to change their ways.

Populist says... February 4, 2013 at 2:13 p.m.
Pat w,
That is exactly what we are doing. It is one thing to support a steel mill with partners with good reputations. Asking the public to FUND the worst polluters in the nation without even a thought or a discussion as to the environmental impact of the project? There is a reason why they want to rush this thing through. I suspect that any Republican or Democrat who votes for this thing will eventually regret their decision. Those lawmakers who let themselves worship at the alter of the Kochs better beware. When you sell your soul to the devil, you probably get burned.
( permalink | suggest removal )
HotSpringsLawyer says... February 4, 2013 at 2:25 p.m.
Sorry, but I guess I am too conservative to support funding a private business with taxpayer money and teachers' retirement accounts. The liberal Republican party will have to be the ones to defend these handouts.
How will the Kochs and others of their community ever learn to work and support themselves if the government continues to give them welfare?

That's a good one HSLawyer. A question. Have you ever had any exposure whatsoever with economic development, aka attempting to convince a company to locate in your state? Because you seem to be clueless as to how this works. And it goes on single day, in every state in the union. State governments everywhere are begging and pleading (and incentivizing) companies to locate in their state in order to provide jobs for their citizens. This is not new. You just heard Boogie Man (Koch) and suddenly this is some sort of evil plot. An evil plot to place a 1 BILLION DOLLAR facility in one of the poorest sections of our state providing 525 jobs paying in excess of $75K per year. And Pop, yes, it says the investment will potentially generate a 40 percent return. OVER 5 YEARS. That's an 8% annual return. What are you even talking about??
( permalink | suggest removal )
inquire says... February 4, 2013 at 3:11 p.m.
If you would read the information readily available about how Nucor plants have grievously contaminated the states they operate in--including Arkansas--with toxic waste, you would know what we are talking about. If you would actually read about the Koch brothers, you would realize that they are extremely bad men and are trying to use their money to take this country completely out of the hands of the common people.
Most liberals read and study. Most conservatives throw stones blindly at liberals when liberals point out the truth.

PatWaverly says... February 4, 2013 at 3:25 p.m.
OK Inquire. Did I miss something, is this NUCOR that is building this new facility? And is Mike Beebe one of those wild eyed conservatives you are calling out here? And I wouldn't have any problem with giving anyone welfare if they would take that money and create 525 high paying jobs (along with the tax dollars and cash infused into the economy as a result).
( permalink | suggest removal )
HotSpringsLawyer says... February 4, 2013 at 3:37 p.m.
You're right about one thing. I agree that the process of states begging and competing to pay "job creators" to locate there is absurd. The federal government should use Cmmerce Clause powers to prohibit it.
My concerns are not really about the Kochs. I do in fact have experience in similar deals and the way all involved are trying to steamroll this raises concern of whether the state is being taken for a ride. I would have the same concern regardless of the politics of the proponents.

Populist says... February 4, 2013 at 3:49 p.m.
There are unscrupulous Democrats and Republicans. When there is money to be made at public expense, there always will be plenty of scoundrels to take advantage of the situation. This deal may not only be a bad deal environmentally, it may be a bad deal financially. These guys did not become billionaires by being good to those areas where they have done business. One of the reasons that Arkansas was selected was that our state legislature was the cheapest one to influence. If this is a good deal, they should be happy to disclose the details.

PatWaverly says... February 4, 2013 at 3:51 p.m.
HS Lawyer, I actually didn't say that the process of attracting employers to your state is absurd. I just said that it goes on day after day, state after state. How do you think it should work? If you were a young lawyer just starting out and looking to hang out your shingle, and the landlord in Building A said he would let you move into office space rent free for a year and then $1000 a month after that versus the landlord in Building B who said you can move into similar office space rent free for 6 months and then $10,000 a month thereafter. Which one are you gonna go with? Of course you go with "A". Does that make you some freeloader and the landlord some kind of wild eyed nut? Nope, it means you're a good and prudent business person. That is the way business has been conducted since the beginning of time. Absurd. Nah.

Also note that Koch has a history of targeting poor black areas for their pollution projects. The people with the least money and political power have less ability to sue or seek other recourse when they are the victims of hazardous pollution. Most of the areas downstream from this plant are black. Note that nobody is suggesting a plant in Little Rock on the Arkansas River.
( permalink | suggest removal )
inquire says... February 4, 2013 at 4:05 p.m.
Pat, John Correnti is starting the plant. He works for Nucor and started the Nucor plants in Mississippi County. The Koch brothers are major investors. These people have already polluted horribly in several states, including Arkansas. Instead of acting like you don't believe us, just read up. The information is easy to find. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry the other night when I started to google "nucor pollution in....". Google immediately offered me a list of the states Nucor has polluted.

Not blaming the businessmen for taking advantage of the process. Saying the system that lets them play the states, or cities, or whatever off against one another is bad for the public, and distorts the true market economics, leading to inefficiency and corruption. Sort of like in banana republics or communist regimes.

Populist, your comment just above is exactly what the oil companies did to Louisiana, which is now known as Cancer Alley.
The consequences of toxic pollution last far longer than money or jobs. When the jobs dry up and the money is spent, the ruined land and sick people are still with us.

You've got to hand it to them. These guys are clever. If you look at their lobbyist expense reports, they've been buying drinks for quite a while. This is all going down in the middle of an abortion bill and a guns in church bill. They have one press conference with the governor, a quick approval by the teachers' retirement fund, and they hope it is just going to sneak through the state legislature the state funding one of the foulest sources of pollution around run by the worst polluters in the country. They also are fuzzy about the investment detail--all the while promising a big rate of return and lots of high paying jobs. Oh the treachery!

I was never FOR it. I always stated that we did not have the details. No, I don't want the company with the worst environmental record in the country dumping their sludge in the Mississippi River. If this was a good deal, there would not be a rush to judgment and trickery. Billionaires do not need public financing for good projects. The state of Arkansas is getting screwed. I suspect many of the people promoting this project have been promised political support of all kinds. They will rue the day.

"The $60 million investment, if it happens, represents about one-half of 1 percent of the fund's $12.25 billion balance"
The state money is a LOAN not a grant. 1/2 of 1% is a drop in the bucket to the teachers fund and they SHOULD be investing in their own state for a change instead of buying cd's that some bank uses to make itself rich.
There are PLENTY of checks and balances for environmental issues concerning new startups. This business will create both jobs and increased opportunity for an area that badly needs it.
ANY of you out there who don't like it PLEASE reply with how YOU in your awesome knowledge base would do it better for all involved.

As I read it only $50 million of the state's money is a loan, on very favorable terms for the mill, with $75 million going to develop the site, but I'm just reading the newspaper too. It will be out of the money if the plant fails probably, but hopefully that wont happen.
The retirement fund investment is hopefully ok as long as it is on the same terms as Koch and the other investors. The state part hopefully will be justified by the new jobs and other economic impact. Risky but apparently necessary in our current situation.

If there are enough checks and balances to prevent environmental problems, how has Nucor contaminated every state where they have done business? They do as they please, and just pay the fine if they get caught. By the time they are caught, the land, water and air are contaminated, and the cancer rate is rising.

If government is going to stick its nose into the private sector (and I am not saying that it should), it should fund something that benefits the public--not that is detrimental to the public. The schools need to be better. I've said many times that I would invest in technology education and medical education as a means of making Arkansas youth employable. If the state government wants to create jobs, it should stick to financing public improvements. Let's create jobs by improving buildings with solar power. Let's give some of the tired looking downtown areas of poor towns makeovers. Let's build ambitious bike paths near the Arkansas River or the Mississippi River. Let's give poor teenagers summer jobs working organic gardens. If we put the whole state on a diet, we could save money on health costs. Look at what the WPA built in the 1930s. Many beautiful lakes and public buildings were built then. There are better ways to spend money than financing pollution projects for billionaires.

Apparently, the ARTS is relying on some form of analysis from the Delta Trust investment advisors. These are a nice group of local investment advisors, but most of them just have a b.a. and I did not see any expertise in the steel business. I hope the State Legislature has the sense to have some high level advisors and counsel look at this deal; experience in the steel business would be nice. You don't invest this amount of money without getting assistance from people who are qualified in this area. If this is such a good deal, then why isn't Stephens Inc. asking to participate?

Not only have I been to the delta but I live in the delta. I can see the levee of the Mississippi River from my back door. I've lived in Memphis, TN, Osceola, Wynne and Proctor, Arkansas.

In Populist's defense, I am extremely familiar with northwest Arkansas, which is an extremely viable part of the state economically. The population has swelled too much and too fast due to several nationally known businesses being there. There has been a huge influx of executives. They are in part willing to make the move because of the quality of life there. Relatively unpolluted, just a short drive to nationally protected wilderness areas, and lots of amenities. Arts centers, botanical gardens, community museums,community orchestras and theater groups. Venues where entertainers are willing to come perform. The downtowns of all the main cities of the region have had makeovers. The libraries are mostly new. At least one city has great bike paths.
Their biggest problem is they don't have enough highway infrastructure to handle all the traffic from all the new people who choose to live there! (And too much growth is impacting the gentler quality of life that used to exist.) But you cannot say it is a poor region.

Inquire, you are quite correct. NW Arkansas is a viable, growing prosperous region and there is nothing poor about it. Have you ever been to the Delta of Eastern Arkansas? It is everything that NWA is not. What do you think fueled the economic miracle up there? J.O.B.S. Walmart, JB Hunt, Tyson, the University of Arkansas, and on and on. They don't have all of this wealth because they built bike trails and libraries. They have bike trails and libraries because they have wealth. They have JOBS. And now when there is a chance for Eastern Arkansas to get a large number of well paying jobs you and Pop want to rain on their parade. I think you are smarter than that and hopefully you are just being contrary to be contrary. Because otherwise partner, you aren't making a lick of sense.

The point we were making was that all those executives wouldn't have agreed to come to an area with nothing to offer. Of course things have improved with more money, but they were nice to begin with. The first thing the area had to offer was being relatively unpolluted with beautiful scenery, not raped by dirty industry. I grew up there. We always had nice community facilities, lots of parks. Way before Walmart; I remember when Walmart had less than fifty stores.
In the old days, there were JTL and Willis Shaw and Steel Canning, JB Hunt and Tyson and Gene George. These men didn't come to town talking fast and making promises. They were FROM there and started with nothing. They cared a lot more about the town than a fast talking outsider ever will. They were able to operate without causing an abnormal population increase and continual traffic jams the way Walmart has.( The poultry people have done Oklahoma no favor. Just ask those who live near the Illinois River.) It was a nice peaceful cluster of small towns with almost no crime.
My grandparents were among the group that went to Wyoming to research rodeos and came back and started the Rodeo there. It brings a lot of money to the area, with no pollution except the kind nature intended.
Long before Walmart tipped the balance and caused NWA to become just one big metropolitan area, the towns of NWA had nice facilities, a lot of unspoiled areas, and decent schools in the larger towns. All those people would not have been willing to uproot themselves and raise their children there if there were no amenities and the place were a toxic soup.
And no, I've never been to the Delta. I have a friend whose father farmed there. I knew her in activist circles. She specialized in water issues and went on to work full time for Greenpeace. I would love to see the Delta but we can't travel much anymore

I've done everything from due diligence on mergers and acquisitions to litigation on deals which have gone sour. I also have done a fair amount of work with disadvantaged kids. Yes, people need JOBS and EDUCATION. The two feed off of each other. Northwest Arkansas bloomed from WalMart, the chicken farmers, J.B. Hunt Trucking, and the University. These all feed off one another. You have to balance jobs with environmental degradation. If there is a good market for steel, you can limit the environmental impact, and you can have some top business people and lawyers make sure that we are protected, by all means go ahead with the deal. However, the deal needs to be FULLY analyzed. There are many business people within the state who are remaining silent because they must. I have the luxury of not having an livelihood dependent on the good graces of any of these people so I can speak.
The way to turn Arkansas around economically is to raise a generation of people who are better educated, healthier, and harder working. The correlation between education and economic vitality is a strong one. You laugh at education, bike paths, and solar panels. Education will create a better workforce. Bike paths are an inexpensive way to create a healthier workforce. Solar panels will improve our infrastructure. Our quality of life is dependent upon the quality of our housing, food, social amenities, education, and health. Investing all of our eggs into one investment which has not been fully vetted is not wise.

I was responding to Pat Waverly's comments, Inquire.
I have no problem with the State of Arkansas spending money for some development of eastern Arkansas, and I think Beebe's heart is in the right place. I just question whether this particular deal has been properly vetted and whether it is the wisest use of funds. If Stephens Inc. analyzes the deal and gives it a big thumbs up and puts money in and if the environmentalists indicate that the pollution will not be too bad, I give it a big thumbs up.
One area of expansion for eastern Arkansas that needs further developing is tourism. Grant money has gone to Helena to develop its historical sites, and Helena gets some tourist money from its music business. This all could be further developed by building gardens, fountains, restaurants, a cooking school, bike trails and an arts center etc.
Pat Waverly scoffs at bike trails because he does not know that biking tourism has become big business. Other states are developing their bike trails and marketing them to bikers. Mackinac Island in Michigan draws in many tourists with its ban on autos. Everybody gets around on bikes or on horse and buggy.
Arkansas allows too many decisions to be made by old, white guys who think in terms of the past. Young people are more ecofriendly. You cannot try to sell tourism in terms of the "Natural State" and invited the Kochs to come in and take over. Bamboo, bikes, solar panels, organic gardens etc. are the wave of the future and what would make Arkansas attractive to young people and tourists.

Pop and Inquire, God love you both. It would be wonderful if eastern Arkansas had crystal clear streams and mountain meadows but it just doesn't. Before I go on let me say that I wouldn't live anywhere else, but if you think bike trails, solar panels and all that will pull this place out of it's current state you are just deluded. You have people that live in abject poverty and generations of living on governernment assistance. The best and brightest leave ASAP. In some ways it is like a 3rd World Country. Would you go into Ruwanda and build bike trails, cooking schools and fountains? Of course not. I agree with you Pop that education is the key. Guess what, there are public schools over here too. If people will not attend them or support their children then they do little good. All I can say is you are living in a dream world and if you think you can bring about the kind of change you describe here, I would suggest you come on over and spend a little time in Turrell, AR and see where they want to put the fountain.

It does not take that much education for people to feed off tourism. Helena has attractions of historical interest and can be made into a much bigger tourist attraction with the right funding. Tourist attractions generate the need for cooks, waitresses, hotel maids, food vendors, and musicians etc. It is an hour and a half from the major Metropolitan area of Memphis. I don't think that it takes that much training to teach somebody to install solar panels. It seems that a few better roads in eastern Arkansas to Memphis would make it a faster commute and allow for commerce between Memphis and these sites to develop. A group has been trying to fix up downtown Helena. With a little help from the state, this whole area could be better developed. Las Vegas started out as one hotel in the desert. Arkansas should spend on the schools in eastern Arkansas and elsewhere. Teach the smart kids computers and technology and others carpentry, cooking, and organic farming There are too many people in eastern Arkansas who are underdeveloped and just cashing checks.

I realized to whom you were replying, Populist; I had just realized I didn't make it clear what I wanted you to notice on that article I had mentioned five posts above. If the comment writer is correct about what happened with Correnti in Mississippi, that is pretty serious.
As for the bike tourism, we see huge bike groups go through our little bedroom town, and we don't even have bike trails, but we are a clean little town with some restaurants and places to get supplies, and the state highway through town leads to the open country. If we had trails, they would probably be coming in greater numbers and more often!
Tourism is probably the cheapest way to make jobs, if you have any natural advantages, and I've seen pictures of the Delta that indicate they do. Tourism, by it's very nature, brings people who have money to spend on non necessities. Even the industrial city near me continually tries to develop tourism based on the natural and historical attractions.

I challenge you to get in your car and drive to any of the following places and then report back to us whether you think that tourists will flock there:
Turrell, AR
Shelby, MS
Lula, MS
Marvell, AR
Sunset, AR
Edmonson, AR
Parkin, AR
I could go on and on. You folks are living in some fantasy dream world. How is a bike trail going to pull these people out of the depths? Think maybe the folks on their $1000 bikes and biking costumes are going to want to hang around in Marianna and drop big tourist bucks? PLEASE ANSWER THIS QUESTION. IF YOU THINK IT'S SO GREAT THERE, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SPENT ANY TIME OR ANY MONEY IN THE ARKANSAS DELTA? People need good paying jobs with good benefits. Period.

lazybar says... February 6, 2013 at 9:53 a.m.
the delta does have lots of natural advantages but the main source of income is farming.you all complain about farm subsidies and i myself wish there was no such thing but in todays world the farmers could not make it without it.like many businesses farmers have seen little price increase for thier products but operation cost have tripled. the american farmer is a dying breed and so are our farms.the area in question once had many farms,through more efficent farming and the loss of several farms have left the once poor area into a even poorer area with no jobs.if there was no need of a steel mill i doubt investors would be interested in building one.it is very likely that a number of these high paying jobs will go to higher skilled out of town labor but those that move into the area will need homes built and they will pay taxes for better schools,so i don`t see how that you can say the area will not benefit.there is also the arguement about pollution,the plant will be built somewhere.it would be nice if steel was a green friendly crop that grew on trees and our cars didn`t run on fossil fuels but they don`t.this is the world we live in and either you build the plant in america or send the jobs overseas,which benefits americans?

It's been a while since I was in Helena. I had a lovely time at the Edwardian Inn--a lovely gem of a B&B. I think the town has lots of potential. Mark Twain thought it had the loveliest view of the river. My stepmom drives down to Tunica to gamble. While tourists might not flock to all of the towns in eastern Arkansas, if one could pull itself up, the entire region could benefit. You put a bike trail park there, a carousel, a large square with fountain, a cooking school and restaurant, you've got a great place for people from Memphis and the region to take the family on a weekend outing. I've given money to the Phillips County Boys and Girls Club. It is very well run and has become one of my favorite charities. I would think that there would be a market in Memphis and Little Rock for fresh organic produce from this area. I believe that the Heifer Project had something going on in Eastern Arkansas, and I also donated just a bit to that.
Pessimism and apathy are the seeds of poverty. Parts of Virginia and North Carolina still suffer from abject poverty, but the numbers are improving as more affluent areas of the state help out the poorer areas. These areas need better education of all kinds more than anything else. Maybe their parents do not have money to buy these kids computers, but they sure can learn in the schools. Computers and medical technology are the skills needed in the future. The best investment Arkansas can make is in educating its children.

Actually, the states of Arkansas and Mississippi should have a joint venture ferry service from Memphis to Helena and Tunica to bring in tourists for the day. I'm sure lots of people would enjoy a Mississippi River boat ride with a stop and return trip. It would bring out of town money into our state.

You will have a chance to remember a loved one this holiday season with luminary.
The annual Pilot Club of Laurinburg project will take place Dec. 8 at St. Andrews University.
Organizers say that the university's Dogwood Mile is expected to glow with more than 1,400 luminaries that Saturday.
Luminaries may be purchased for $5 each from any member of the Pilot Club. The purchase deadline is Nov. 30.
The luminaries lining the street are meant in memory or to honor family members and friends during this Christmas season. A brochure with each name printed will be handed out to each car as they pass by the luminaries.
"The Pilot Club of Laurinburg appreciates all the support the community gives our Club" said Pam Ashley, Club President. "The luminaries, a mile of beauty at Christmas, is a way of saying thank you for this support."
The annual, long-running and popular holiday feature is the club's major fundraiser of the year.
On an annual basis, the club channels back into the community the funds raised through the luminary project. The money goes towards Alzheimer's Awareness, Autism Enhancement programs, Education projects including BrainMinders, Adopt-A-Classroom, grants for Autistic Classroom Teachers, the Anchor Club at Scotland High and High School scholarships.
Leslie McLaughlin is the chair of this year's event. For information, call her at 280-3984.

Kenny Scharf rose to prominence alongside his friends and contemporaries Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring in the East Village art scene of the 1980s. One of the first artists to inject elements of street culture into the main stream of contemporary art, Scharf has continued to pioneer projects like his Cosmic Cavern—a now legendary all-night DayGlo disco party held in the basement of a Brooklyn warehouse from 2009-2010. His paintings incorporate imagery from advertisements, cartoons and classic Americana into exuberant compositions with an underlying subversive edge.
Scharf recently completed a mural wall project on the corner of Houston Street and the Bowery, and will create unique spray-can paintings on 100 roll-up storefront shutters throughout Manhattan for a new public art project by the Mediacy Group's Gatescapes program. His work was featured in The MOCA LA's "Art in the Streets" exhibition. In 2012, Scharf completed a large-scale commission for the new Marlins Ball Park in Miami, Florida.

Last Wednesday, September 7th, marked the first official week of the reborn DC Comics Universe. 52 new titles will launch this month, and last week saw the release of the first 13 titles. Below I've ranked those 13 titles, plus I've thrown in the new JUSTICE LEAGUE which debuted the last Wednesday in August. I've broken the 14 titles into 5 different categories and keep in mind the dip in quality between the last title in one group and the first title in the next group is significant. Now here's the best of the best:
1. ANIMAL MAN: The DC model has often been plot over character, but Animal Man is unquestionably a character driven title. Where many of these DCnU comics start with the cliche first issue "hero in mid-battle" scene, Animal Man starts around a family's kitchen table. At the same time, it's not all talking, there's plenty of action, and a trippy dream sequence revealing Animal Man's villains. Animal Man balances the mundane with the fantastic brilliantly.
2. SWAMP THING: While a little heavy on narration, Swamp Thing offers a very interesting lead character and some truly impressive and disturbing horror sequences.
3. BATWING: I have to be honest, before reading Batwing I thought it would be taking up residence at the bottom of this list. But Batwing is a pleasant surprise. Taking place in Africa, Batwing offers something new and is a welcome addition to the overcrowded Bat-corner of the DCnU.
4. STORMWATCH: I had high hopes for Stormwatch given it was penned by Paul Cornell, it didn't live up to my expectations. Nonetheless, Stormwatch #1 has a few moments of greatness. Here's hoping the second issue can deliver them more consistently.
5.OMAC: While I think Dan Didio had a fairly awful run as DC's Executive Editor, I have enjoyed the couple books he's written. His Metal Men story for WEDNESDAY COMICS was old school fun and the same can be said for OMAC. Didio isn't reinventing the wheel here and OMAC feels a bit derivative of Marvel's INCREDIBLE HULK, but still, OMAC is a light, campy ride and a needed departure from all the darker titles that were released in DCnU's first week.
6. MEN OF WAR: Another nice surprise, Men of War starts as a fairly standard war comic, but gets tipped on its head when super-powered beings enter the mix.
7. JUSTICE LEAGUE: The new Justice League feels like a relic from the 1990s. If you're going to reboot your entire universe, shouldn't the formation of the Justice League feel new and epic? Here it feels stale and unoriginal.
8. JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL: Remember all those 1980s cartoons where a character from another country would always be a one-note walking stereotype? Well, those days are back in the DCnU with the new JLI! I have a soft spot for Booster Gold, and his character is fairly enjoyable here, but the rest of this book is a mess.
9. ACTION COMICS: Action Comics #1 may be the most boring comic Grant Morrison has ever written. Morrison-penned comic books almost always elicit a strong reaction (whether positive or negative), but they are rarely boring. Here though, the author of the outstanding ALL-STAR SUPERMAN delivers a truly yawn-worthy tale.
10. BATGIRL: If you're going to put Barbara Gordon back in the Batgirl costume and eliminate Oracle from the DCnU, you sure as hell better deliver a story that justifies such a drastic action. This issue fails to do that in any fashion. On the bright side, the events of THE KILLING JOKE haven't been written out of continuity altogether.
11. DETECTIVE COMICS: While this issue ends with one truly haunting page, the rest of Detective Comics #1 is otherwise just another generic Batman/Joker tale.
12. STATIC SHOCK: I was happy to see Static was getting his own book as part of "The New 52″ but, sadly, this book is a bore.
13. HAWK AND DOVE: Honestly, I could bash Rob Liefeld's art here, but if you buy a Liefeld book, you know what you're getting. The story, however, is a bigger mess than the art. I criticized JLI for having one-note characters earlier, but JLI at least has a large cast of characters that each need to be given time. Hawk and Dove has two and both are about as three-dimensional as the paper this comic's printed on.
14. GREEN ARROW: The emerald archer battles a group of baddies who post videos of their crimes on the internet. The subject feels so forced, you'd think writer J.T. Krul had never been on the web. Meanwhile, Green Arrow's weird new beard looks less like facial hair and more like Oreo crumbs or ants crawling over his chin.
So what are your thoughts on DCnU's first week? Post your comments below!

Wish me luck, i start a 40 hour Combatives level 1 class tomorrow.
Pics to come...
That's so awesome.
I had no idea it was 40 hours of work. wow.
Have fun!!!
Nice! Have fun. Three of my peers have attended level 1. Two of them cracked thier ribs during the course(ouch!).
Woohoo, done, done, & done. It's real hard at first, then tapers down. The first two days were all I could take. I was at my limit. Start of the third day, I told myself, gotta to make it to lunch. Still at my limit. Just come back from lunch. Just make it to the end of the day. Day four was the Achieve the Clinch drill, which was an easy day. Tough mentally, but easy physically. Day five was just the final test. Simple & easy. I was able to get some good video, but i'm not allowed to post it online. Level 2 coming up in January.
All Combatives info can be found at the Ft Benning Combatives page, here: https://www.benning.army.mil/infantry/197th/combatives/
This looks very exciting. There are a lot of Level 2 courses taught by NG RTIs, but I think the only Level 3 course out there is the one taught at Fort Benning.
Sir, Yes you are correct. Levels 1 & 2 are taught locally. Levels 3 & 4 are taught at Ft Benning.
SGT Juggernaut, Yes we had two students drop with rib problems. We started with eleven students; certified five.
Grappling is the best workout, and really comes in handy. The knowledge gap in between someone who knows nothing and someone who knows just a little bit is amazing. I've been able to make my smartass friends look silly at times.
I'd love to get into the combatives program, but I practice MA on the civilian side anyway.
I went to MEPS back when it was hard
Would you say that the programs at an RTI that are run many times throughout a year are a higher caliber than those that run maybe only once a year at an RTI? Of course we can always say...it's a certified course...blah..blah.
But it's like trying to compare "most" OCS programs through the RTI with something like Accelerated OCS.
It is quite the workout. On sunday we did 4 hours of combatives training and ended the session with a round robin. I grappled with 5 different people for 3 minutes each, one right after the other. I was spent, and I'm a cardio maniac running marathons, free running, rock climbing, swimming with full ACU's and boots, and ruck marches. 15 minutes of grappling burnt me out and left me pretty sore the next day. Its a completely different way of exercising, and one thing it taught me was that I can't expect to out muscle or out last my opponent, form and technique will make all the difference in the world.
Do you get to do level 2 and 3 in the Guard?
And what about lines?
It's all about technique and leverage. Our DS was talking about his days going through and teaching combatives at Ft. Benning. The words straight from his mouth were: "You learn just enough in level one to get your a s s kicked, which is what will happen if you go out in the street and think you can win a fight in a bar with what you learned. Level two and three you learn how to take an a s s whooping. Level 4 is when you really learn something." Cracked me up.
Then he starts talking about how he got his teeth knocked out, then the younger DS's said: "They wear head gear now." He throws his hands up and says "What? Aaaaahhhh shiiiiiii.." We were all cracking up.

What kind of requirements are there for this?
For taking Combatives? Well, you have to be in the service. Other than not being on a profile, that's about it. Sometimes training money can be tight, but we've sent entire platoons to Combatives 1 and in some cases 2.
thanks! wasn't sure if it was like hard to get into. prob cause im still trying to join haha. thanks for your answers
They hold it at the armory I work out of daily. It is crazy with injuries! Each day of the last one held here, four fell out with pretty substatial injuries, three needing the ER. Our BDE Med Admin as well as two NCOs that split the BDE MED Admin work out of the same office I do and have all the medical training. They werent even supposed to work the class but it ended up being a full time job for them. We went and watched when they actually fight each other, thats when the majority of the more minor injuries happen. Lots of bloody noses, head banging, and fatigue! Its a 40 hour class that gets put into your iPERMS and SIDPERS, make sure your certificate gets to your S1 or Readiness because this class doesnt produce a 1059.

News Alert: Spinosa files to block foreclosure of Perkins Rowe
Attorneys for developer Tommy Spinosa filed documents late this afternoon to try to block the latest efforts by KeyBank National Associates to foreclose on Perkins Rowe. Late last month, the Ohio-based lender asked the federal district court to let it move forward with the foreclosure, which has been stalled—even though the bank was awarded that legal right nearly a year ago. Spinosa's attorneys had until today to respond to the motion. In their response, they argue that the U.S. District Court for the Middle District lacked the jurisdiction to render a judgment in the case in the first place—an argument they have raised throughout the three-year-old case. Attorneys also argue that several legal issues related to the case must be resolved before a final ruling on the foreclosure can be issued. Attorneys for both sides could not be reached for comment. There is no word on when the court will rule.—Stephanie Riegel

Done has twice had his fingers burnt by making such a move before, including when Sir Alex Ferguson's side were overhauled by neighbours City in the closing stages last term.
That decision cost the Salford-born bookmaker over £1million and led some United fans to accuse him of jinxing the Old Trafford outfit, having also paid the price for a similar move when Arsenal clawed back a huge deficit in 1998.
However, with United again a dozen points ahead of their nearest rivals following a 2-0 defeat of Everton, Done has seen enough to declare them champions for a record 20th time.
He said: "After it all went wrong last year, my missus made me promise to never do it again, but with United 12 points clear with just 12 games left, the title race is over - so my punters can collect their dough on United."
Paddy Power had already stolen a march on their competitors by paying out on United to finish top of the table, even before they had claimed victory over the Toffees.
A spokesman for the Irish firm declared: "The fat lady might not be singing yet but she's definitely getting warmed up.
"We can't see United letting their lead slip and, with Real Madrid to come in midweek, we thought we'd take some of the pressure off Fergie and give punters an early payday."

Thank you for your participation and interest in the Mises Community. This software platform has seen its day, however, and so is now closed. We are redoing our entire site, so look for some exciting developments by the end of the year. Thank you for your support of Austrian economics, liberty, and peace.
This might not be appropriate for this forum, but if any knows about the new sim city it will focus on team cooperation with other players and I wanted to form a mises group. Anyone interested?
I'll be playing the new simcity if I don't have to install Origin (which means I might be playing through tunggle if you know or have that). It might be fun ot try and manage the economy according to anarchist principles. Assuming I have any time at all to play games.
"according to anarchist principles"
You mean, installing the game and then waiting to see what happens?
I think its only for Origin.
Well, by non-cooperative cooperatione imperatives (self-interest & calculation).
I will not install Origin on my computer. It is corporate spyware designed to record every action you take on your PC. I will have to board the distribution ship and commandeer a copy so that I can use Tunggle. (hint: Tunggle tricks the game into thinking that, since it won't have online access, that the LAN settings of the game are actually its internet connections. So you play LAN games through the internet!)

Civilization is too kiddie for me anymore although it is fun to nuke everyone constantly. I like Victoria II (1834-1934 - grand strategy). Victoria has ancaps and ancoms in it that you can ideologically progress. Managing the state is damn hard, especially with war and rebellions.

Using Payday Loans Wisely
From time to time, many Americans find themselves in a cash crunch between paydays. Payday loans are short-term loans that can be used to temporarily handle those emergency expenses. You should only borrow what you need and pay it back in full on your next payday. While payday loans are a convenient way of handling cash flow needs, they are not recommended as a long-term financial solution. When used sensibly, these loans are an excellent source of quick and temporary cash. However, as with improper use of any financial product, overuse can lead to hardship, if not managed wisely. If you need help understanding the terms of your loan, our Customer Service Representatives in our stores are happy to answer any of your questions. If you find yourself constantly outspending your budget or frequently overusing any type of temporary cash advance, we suggest that you seek professional advice from a non-profit credit counselor or consider other finance options.Practical Money Skills

To the people who live in Apopka, it seems as if there's one way in and one way out.
If the intersection where U.S. Highway 441 and state Road 436 meet shuts down, consider yourself late to work.
Apopka is in northwest Orange County, and from 2005 to 2006, the population jumped by 7 percent.
Without any major roads around it and a growing number of residents, WESH 2 traffic reporter Danielle Bellini traveled miles to find the best route out.
If the intersection at U.S. 441 and S.R. 436 shuts down, drivers will have to choose their alternate quickly.
"Right now, we?re on U.S. 441 where it runs southeast just before the approach to 436. Coming up here is Park Avenue. We?re going to hook a right and go south on Park Avenue," Bellini said.
She said she passed school buses, school crossings and pedestrians. Since it's only one lane in each direction, she said it seemed pretty congested.
"While this alternate starts off slow, the speed picks up and goes up to 50 mph. There?s less traffic lights and eventually it gets you to a major road," Bellini said.
At the light, she made a left onto Clarcona-Ocoee Road.
Traveling eastbound, drivers will reach Hiawassee Road. You can take that southbound if you want to continue south.

A sheen of oil spotted near the site of the Deepwater Horizon rig that exploded and sank more than two years ago has been directly linked to the Macondo well.
The U.S. Coast Guard said tests have confirmed the connection.
"The exact source of the sheen is uncertain at this time but could be residual oil associated with wreckage and/or debris left on the seabed from the Deepwater Horizon incident in 2010," the agency said in a release Wednesday night.
The sheen is a light oil that would be difficult to clean up.
The Coast Guard found out about the oil sheen on Sept. 16 after someone spotted it on a satellite image from the multinational oil and gas company BP.
A Coast Guard response team went to the location to collect samples, and sent them to the Coast Guard Marine Safety Lab in Connecticut for testing
The service's Marine Safety Unit Morgan City is heading up the investigation of the spill. No one has reported any adverse effects on the environment or marine life, officials said.
BP said that it first reported the sheen on Sept. 16 to the National Response Center, and has since worked closely with the U.S. Coast Guard and NOAA to investigate the sheen.
According to BP, the oil is emanating from the debris of the Deepwater Horizon accident.
"The size of the sheen, its persistent point of origin and other factors indicate the most likely source is the bent riser pipe that once connected the rig to the well head, where a mix of oil, drilling mud and seawater were trapped after the top kill operation," BP said in a statement.

Angry Taxpayers to Attend Iroquios School Board Meeting
By: Bill Palmer
Updated: December 3, 2012
Some angry taxpayers will be back at the Iroquois school board meeting tonight looking for an update on the status of the school superintendent.
At the last school board meeting, residents in the district claimed district superintendent Sam Signorino had been using their taxpayer dollars for his own benefit.
They claim he's been working on his classic car on school property, and getting help from school employees on school district time.
Signorino was placed on administrative leave while the board conducted an investigation.

Umm Reynolds has 6 years in the league and up until last year has never hit less than 28 homers in a full season. We have no other viable DH option. He should have been signed to play first and DH Davis. As it stands now you have Davis at first and Betemit at DH and you think that's a better combination? I still say something was wrong with Reynolds in the first half of last year that we don't know about. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him top 30 homers this coming season and I in fact am sure he will.
Saunders as I said is a good pitcher, not a great pitcher. If the starters we have perform to last year's numbers, DD will look like a genius. If one or two of those guys falter, we'll all wish he spent the $5m on Saunders
Good points, but that is what people said before last season.
Hunter, Matusz, and Arrieta were all depended upon, and they failed miserably.
With Bundy and Gausman on the horizon, and the large number of ML level starting pitchers in the minors, this team has a good shot at being good again.
I meant that he will be going into his 3rd year in the AL. Everyone has seen him and knows exactly what he is, and nobody is going to give him meatballs to hit anymore. Sure, he's going to hit some out, but I doubt that he hits 30 or bats above .220. I do agree that Betemit does not sound great at DH. Surely the O's have something else in mind, at least I hope so.
As for Saunders, I will acknowledge that I would have liked to have resigned him, but I am OK that we did not and think that we will be fine.
I think he has several really inexpensive options, but none of them can be considered as reliable as the combo of Davis and Reynolds. instead it will be Davis and a platoon that will include any or all of the following: Reimold, Canzler, Dickerson, Pettit, Greenburg, Ishikawa
that's DD's M.O. sign 15 guys and hope a couple of them pan out. it worked last year, but it's a less reliable process than signing an established player that can be penciled in for 150+ games. DD has already DFAed a handfull of guys he signed or traded for earlier in the off season.
he is essentially picking through the garbage cans of the other 29 teams.
as cousin Jim said, having a ? at 1B or DH or LF or 2B isn't so bad. having a ? at all those positions makes it challenging, if not impossible, to compete, especially in the ALe
I wouldn't call it picking through garbage cans - more like picking through their garages.
TJ MacFarland has some promise. Jurrjens was a top pitcher that was put off to the side because of his injury issues, which gives him extra incentive on top of his talent.
Most of the pitchers he likes to choose are also the kinds that are durable and aren't afraid to pitch to contact. I think he knows that these kinds of pitchers are the types that you can teach minor adjustments to without much friction. They are also willing to use the defense to make outs.
This is something that propelled Gonzalez to the season he had last year.
You can only use this philosophy if you have some established stars on hand. See StL a few years ago for a good example.
Ken is right. things aren't that bleak.
I have confidence that Nate will be a reliable offensive contributor in LF. and his D can't be disputed. Casilla was a bonafied player in Minn. his D is very good, but his bat is a questionmark. however, Flaherty's bat really started to pop at the end of the season. I think he's the answer at 2B if Casilla comes up empty on the offensive side of his game. long term, it looks like Schoop is the guy to take over the job, but probably not this season.
DH can't be sugar coated. there just isn't a clear answer for that spot in the line up. Davis at 1B is promising if his D shows up. he's been called a plus defender, hopefully that's true and he'll show why that's in his scouting report.
the thing is, I laughed at DD last winter. I was expecting an O's team that would be worse than they were in 2011. he showed all of us that his big spending days in Boston didn't erase his memory of how he built a winner in Montreal. he was a major player in building the fabled 1994 Expos.
if he's honestly confident in 2013, so am I. and another good sign is that no one wanted to leave. Nate set his self up nicely when it comes to being a FA. but he waited it out to stay in Baltimore. Reynolds didn't jump on any offers until it was obvious the O's weren't bringing him back.
that seems like a good sign.
Looks like the Jurjjen's deal is going to die so it sucks that Saunders signed before we knew about Jurjjens health. Hopefully DD will sign more arms to potentially fill the #5 spot.
To be honest I'm more concerned about the starting pitching than the offense.
I would have rather had Saunders than Reynolds.
That said we have about 3 or 4 guys on the team right now who could probably give you the same production that Saunders gives you. He was great for us in the playoffs last year but he's a mid-4.00, 5.00 ERA pitcher.

Choosing a digital SLR camera

Top Tips On What To Look For In A Digital SLR camera
What is a DSLR? The letters 'SLR' stand for 'single lens reflex' and refer to the viewing system, in which light passes through the lens, is bounced off a 45° mirror and into the prism, where it is turned right-way-round for viewing (so the viewer sees what the lens is seeing).
The D in DSLR simply stands for digital. The most distinguishable feature of SLRs (though it isn't unique to them) is that the lenses are interchangeable, enabling the user to fit lenses designed for specific tasks.
Hundreds of lenses are available, along with dozens of specialised accessories such as flashguns, battery packs and remote triggers.
There are other benefits of DSLR ownership, such as better image quality and response times, burst shooting and user control.
Try Before You Buy!
We would never recommend buying any digital camera without holding it first, but this is especially the case with a digital SLR.
If you already have a 35mm model with some lenses, you may want to stick with that brand, but it's also worth at least considering trading in and starting again. Read all the information on this website and narrow down your choice to perhaps two or three, then go somewhere that you can compare them side by side.
It's also worth checking the WDC forums for feedback from existing users.
How much do you want To spend on your digital SLR camera?
Entry-level: Boasting a minimum resolution of six megapixels, entry-level digital SLRs are most suitable for people trading up from point and shoot digital compacts to gain more professional results from their image taking. They often feature scene modes that let users point and shoot to begin with, and move on to more manual and creative controls as confidence grows.
Mid-range: Usually featuring a more robust build quality and features that have trickled down from pro-level digital SLRs, mid-range models are a good budget option for those who are serious about their photography, but don't want to make the bank manager cry. Most suitable for those enthusiasts making the switch from film DSLRs, Canon, Nikon and Pentax converts may even be able to make use of older and existing lens collections.
Professional: The real top dogs when it comes to both image quality with the likes of the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III boasting 21 megapixels and machine gun-like speed of capture (8fps and beyond), professional digital SLRs are also built like a tank to avoid damaging knocks in the heat of the action. For those who shoot for image libraries who demand file sizes upwards of 50MB+, a pro-level digital SLR is often the only option. The downside is a price tag often equivalent to a couple of month's wages, but when you're a pro this can be set against what you'd otherwise pay the tax man.
