Hollande and Aubry: now it's serious
Issued on: Modified:
The Socialist primary vote still dominates the front pages - but the papers are pretty disappointed that last night's debate wasn't more heated. We also look at the 50th anniversary of a massacre of Algerian protesters in Paris - which the government doesn't want to acknowledge.
Liberation is a bit disappointed with last night's Socialist primary debate - even they think it was a bit dull.
Le Figaro isn't impressed with François Hollande and Martine Aubry either - they're keener on a new policy from interior minister Claude Gueant, to force immigrants applying for French nationality to learn French.
And website Rue 89 looks at the 50th anniversary of the killing of 300 Algerians by police in Paris - which the government doesn't want to commemorate.

Is it immature to look at a New York Times graphic about the potentially life-altering impact that aftershocks near a damaged Japanese nuclear plant could have on containment structures therein, specifically a "worse-case situation" graphic?
Absolutely. But it would offend sensibilities to let a dong-within-a-dong representation pass without notice.

New Record Label Will Give Out All Its Music For Free; Wants Fans To Subscribe To The Label
from the interesting-ideas... deptJay Frank wrote the book FutureHit.DNA a few years back, and it's really a fascinating look into the music business. Frank, who formerly was the Senior VP of Music Strategy for CMT (part of MTV) as well as VP of Music Programming at Yahoo! Music, basically tried to scientifically breakdown what it took to be a "hit" song in the modern digital age. Of course, some might dismiss this as formulaic (and perhaps cynical), but I can't recommend the book enough. It's not just about "oh this is what makes a hit song," but it takes a look at how listening habits change in the digital era, and how even that may impact what makes a hit and what doesn't.
It appears that Frank doesn't just want to write about this, but he's about to put his theories to the test. Today he's announcing a new record label, called DigSin, that will be focused on releasing singles for artists rather than full albums. But here's the interesting bit: all of the music will be released for free. What he's looking to do is build up a base of subscribers who will want to be pushed new great songs that he's releasing. In effect, rather than a "label" in the traditional sense, you can think of it as a "tastemaker," or even a filter or trusted friend.
I have to admit that I've been fascinated by this concept for a little while. I've written in the past about how I've paid a small label/distribution company a yearly subscription in the past for a "CD of the month" club, because I trusted the guy who ran it to find me awesome CDs. In that case, it was a small operation, where the guy who ran the label would take into account each of the subscriber's tastes and try to match music to what they liked. It was like having the guy at the record store who knew your tastes picking out what you should listen to. It was fantastic. In this case, Frank is trying that on a larger scale... and not charging for it.
In this case, it appears that Frank is going to be looking at alternative revenue sources. If he can bring together enough music fans, that's certainly an opportunity. I would bet there will be some sponsorship opportunities that make sense, but I could also see some more creative efforts, such as upsell opportunities for merch or concert tickets.
The timing of this is interesting, as he's launching it at the same conference where Ian Rogers, the head of TopSpin -- and also a former Yahoo! Music exec -- gave a talk on the race to be trusted, noting that he believes that's the next stage of the music business. Basically with so much content out there, finding the right content for you is key, and that's going to be a trust issue. If you trust someone to bring you good music, that's a powerful connection.
Of course, it's worth noting that Rogers, in his speech, tells the record labels that they cannot be that trusted partner, because people will always doubt their sincerity on whether or not the musician that they're pushing, who's signed with them, is really that good. It is an interesting question. I think it's possible for a label to be trusted, but it's difficult. Though, I actually go back to an open letter that Ian himself wrote to then head of EMI Music, Guy Hands, about why he should turn the label giant into a trusted filter based on affinity groups around existing big name artists (i.e., build a mini label around... The Beatles, for music that Beatles-lovers would like and then build out that brand as a trusted brand). It's possible. It's just difficult.
On the artist side, DigSin is also focused on being a better partner -- an enabler rather than a gatekeeper. It's signing artists to very short term deals, with agreements around songs, not the artist. That is they'll share in the monetization of the specific songs. And the songs will still be available via traditional channels -- iTunes, Spotify, etc. -- for people who want them that way. But the real focus is on DigSin's ability to bring together a core group of people who are really into hearing the next great song first, and to help connect those people with musicians making those songs.
It's definitely a big challenge -- and one where there may be many hurdles. But if it's done right, it could be quite useful. I'm intrigued that Frank is attempting this, and if his notions on what makes a hit are correct, and he's able to execute on that with the artists who release singles through DigSin, it could become a very interesting model to pay attention to.

Do you mean 'muddled'?talk of emotions just muddied the picture.
Student or Learner
My love life
My fiancé and I have been together for one year and would stay together for the rest of our lives. To the scientist, it is nothing more than a pre-programmed, biochemical response. Love is a word for the poet. This was how it had to be and any talk of emotions just muddied the picture. This all started with a casual conversation, randomly, but who knew that I would fall in love with this wonderful guy and marry him one day? He is one of a kind a guy whom I have admired, respected and loved for sure.
So, this all started with a text message that I received at 6:00 am 20th May, 2009. The morning started with a bright light of the sun, coming through the window over on my face. The chirping of birds, the sound of the watchmens whistle, and the ringing bell of the ice-cream seller, was in the air. Usually, I never wake up to check my phone messages or call when Im asleep but that day, something was different, I was half asleep as I hate waking up so early in the morning. I opened my eyes slowly; trying to look at my cell phone screen and read the message, and there it was, a message from an unknown number. The message said- Hi, I just wanted to talk to you, if you do not mind. If you do not want to talk, its ok. I was quiet surprised to see such a message from an unknown number, so I replied back rudely, as I do not like such things. Then, I received a reply to my text messenger saying- Sorry to message you, I am just your well wisher.
I was really angry with this message so I called up my friend to know if someone has leaked my number somewhere, because I never give my cell phone number just like that to anyone. He is one of my very best friends, whom I can trust blindly and being a guy, I thought he would be able to handle this situation more correctly. He has always been there for me whenever I needed someone and I knew that if I will tell him about this text message, he would definitely. He told me that she did not give to anyone so it must be someone who I know.
I gave the number to one of my friend to help me find out who messaged me on my cell phone. I got to know that no one had given my number anywhere and then I was more worried. I sent a message to that number again, asking who it was and how he got my number. I got a reply saying- You know me and I cannot tell you, how I got your number. Then I replied to him saying that I want to know because its not a normal thing for me. He replied with his name but I still did not know who he was, so I asked him how he knew me because I didnt know him. He said we have met many times but maybe you never noticed me.
Eventually, yes I knew him as I was familiar to him through my parents. I said sorry to him for replying rudely and then our conversation increased as I started liking him a lot. While having a conversation with him on messages, I realized that there was something that dragged me towards him, even when I didnt even knew who he was, how he looks and where is he from? This feeling was disturbing me all through out that day and I was expecting to get his text message again without any reason. There it was, at 11am, his text message saying that he wants to talk to me on phone. I was scared as well as little excited and I replied to him saying that I will talk to him.
Our conversation increased after we had a chat over the phone. He called me up that night and we talked for the whole night. I still remember the night, it was full moon and the street lights were not working but the whole place was lightened with the shine of moonlight. I wanted to meet him but I was afraid to ask him to meet me. I wanted to see how he looks, but I was afraid of saying that to him too. I could not believe that I am talking to a guy who just texted me in the morning saying he likes me, but this is what was happening, I was talking to this guy and I was happy. He started the conversation by saying that he wants to know me, how am I, what I like/dislike? The whole night went in this conversation and when I saw the sun coming out of nowhere, looking just beautiful, I was bewildered to realize that I was talking to this guy for the whole night. The morning has never been so beautiful and soothing.
I knew this is going to go far, and I was sure that he is the person whom I would marry.
He told me that he loves me and wants to get married to me but I was shocked because I have not heard anything like this ever in my life. He said that I should talk to my parents about us so that we can take the second step to our relationship. I was scared to tell my mother at that time. India might be a cosmopolitan country now, but the culture and traditions are the same. People cannot marry outside their caste or culture because it is considered against the ancestral traditions.
We were quiet scared to tell our parents but then we had no choice but to tell them about our relationship. His parents agreed in some days after so much of efforts but my parents were not ready for this relationship because they thought that I will not be happy with him and hence I should not marry him
People have realized that a successful marriage is not dependent on factors such as same caste and religion. It is on the other hand, built on the aspects of mutual understanding and compatibility. It is how well the two understand each other's need and feel for your partner. It is not necessary that you have to belong to the same community or caste to understand your spouse better. Today, there are ample of examples when two people from totally different background and lifestyle come together and spend their entire life happy with each other, thanks to education.
We started talking on the phone more frequently and after a week, we decided to meet. He told me to come to Pizza Hut. The day was very fine and calm, I left my home wearing a black T-shirt and a jeans, took a rikshaw, from near my house and reached the Pizza Hut, right at the time. I could see so many couples around me, which I never noticed before. I was scared because I didnt know what I will say to him or what I will ask him. I had never seen him, so I was trying to look around for him, and it was quiet funny, because I was looking at every other guy. He came and tapped on my shoulder, from the back and I turned around to look at him. That moment was the most special moment of my life, because that was the first time, we looked at each other in each others eyes. He was handsome and cute. I was charmed with his personality and my thought of being disappointed, just disappeared. The most special moment of our first meeting was, when he touched my baby finger. There was something that he liked about it, he always used to touch my baby finger and when I used to ask him what do you like about it? He used to say I just like holding this finger, its so tiny.
Our first meeting was a bit formal as we both were quiet nervous to talk to each other but by the time we met for more three times, we were so close to each other. I had the best days of my life with him in our first few meetings.
There were many conflicts between the two families over our relationship which was very depressing for Gaurav (my fiancé) and I, but then we decided to convince everyone when time gets better, so that everything cools down. After a period of time, we talked to our parents again and this time we could convince them that we really love each other and want to spend our whole life together. As Im still doing my bachelors right now, our parents have now decided to get us married by the end of my last year of college.

Budget Standoff Has Stock Investors Wary, Not Panicked
Benchmarks Close Lower But Many Expect Impact to Be Short Term
U.S. stocks tumbled for the seventh time in eight trading sessions, capping a day on which investors around the globe sold shares as they braced for the U.S. government to partially shut down for the first time in 17 years.
Many investors fretted that budgetary uncertainty and the prospect that the U.S. could run out of borrowing capacity in October will add to market headwinds amid soft global economic growth, slowing corporate profit gains and a pickup in interest rates.
Also unsettling investors is political instability in Italy, where the government is teetering on the brink of collapse. Milan's FTSE MIB stock index was down 1.2%, while 10-year Italian government bond yields reached a three-month high above 4.7%.
In the Markets
On Monday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 128.57 points, or 0.8%, to 15129.67. The S&P 500-stock index shed 10.20 points, or 0.6%, to 1681.55, with all 10 sectors lower. The Nasdaq Composite Index fell 10.12 points, or 0.3%, to 3771.48.
Even with Monday's losses, stocks performed strongly in the quarter and year. The Dow is up 15.5% for the year, after a 1.5% advance in the third quarter. The S&P 500 rose 3% for September and 4.7% in the third quarter.
"Despite the naysayers, it looks like September is turning out to be a positive month," said Alan Gayle, who oversees about $325 million as senior investment strategist at RidgeWorth Investments. "But the uncertainty surrounding the [budget] and debt ceiling makes investors nervous."
Stocks sold off sharply at the market's open as worries spread about budget negotiations. At its session low, the Dow had shed 172 points. Traders said that market action indicated little panic.
Small stocks lost less than their larger peers, another sign that investors weren't rushing for the exits. The Russell 2000 Index, a benchmark for small-capitalization stocks, was down less than 0.1% for the day.
The battles in Congress have been weighing on markets for over a week. The S&P 500 has lost 2.5% since closing at an all-time high of 1725.52 on Sept. 18.
Investors also may have to contend with some key economic data points this week. A measure of manufacturing activity is scheduled for Tuesday, a service-sector business activity reading will come Thursday, and then Friday may bring the closely watched government employment report for September, if the government is operating normally.
The labor market is a main driver of Federal Reserve policy decisions, so the strength of Friday's report could help determine when the central bank starts to pare its stimulus efforts.
"In a normal week, every one of these releases would take center stage," said Joseph Tanious, global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds. "Unfortunately, Washington's theatrics are overshadowing the data."
"In a normal week, every one of these releases would take center stage," said Joseph Tanious, global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds. "Unfortunately, Washington's theatrics are overshadowing the data."
The yield on 10-year Treasury notes pulled back slightly, to 2.614% from 2.620%, where it settled Friday. Yields move inversely to prices.
Crude-oil futures fell 0.5% to settle at $102.33 a barrel. Gold futures eased 0.9% to $1,326.50 a troy ounce. The dollar slipped against the yen and edged up against the euro.
Asian markets also were mostly lower, led by a 2.1% slide in Japan's Nikkei Stock Average on the back of U.S. worries and a strengthening yen.
In corporate news, J.C. Penney Co. Inc. slipped 25 cents, or 2.7%, to $8.80. On Friday, the stock tumbled 13% to the lowest close since December 2000 after the retailer sold 84 million shares, priced at a 7.4% discount to the stock's closing price on Thursday.
Tesla Motors Inc. rose 2.47, or 1.3%, to 193.37, a new all-time closing high. Its latest rally has been fueled in part by last week's news that Hertz Global Holdings Inc. added one of the electric car maker's models to its high-end rental line-up. The stock has more than quadrupled in value this year.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. (AP) — Crews fighting a wildfire in a northern Arizona canyon focused Monday on building containment lines along the last unprotected stretch of the blaze.
Firefighters will build 3 miles of protection lines on the southern end of the Slide Fire after having completed much of their work on the blaze's key northern and western flanks.
Crews completed their efforts to protect a power line that supplies electricity to Flagstaff.
The human-caused fire has been burning since Tuesday around Oak Creek Canyon, a scenic recreation area along the highway between Sedona and Flagstaff that would normally be crowded with tourists Memorial Day weekend. Slide Rock State Park, one of the most-visited tourist spots in Arizona, has been closed.
No homes have been destroyed.
The fire covered more than 25 square miles and was 25 percent contained by Monday morning. It had grown more than 3 square miles since the latest report on its size.
The goals for fire managers are to protect the 300 structures threatened in Oak Creek Canyon, keep the fire from pushing into the communities of two subdivisions to the east and minimize the potential for flooding.
Though warmer temperatures and drier air are expected Monday, lower temperatures and higher humidity made the fire less intense over the last few days.
"It was perfect timing," said fire information officer Manny Cordova. "It allowed us to make good progress."
Authorities lifted a pre-evacuation warning Monday for 3,200 people living in the Forest Highlands and Kachina Village subdivisions. Mandatory evacuations will likely remain in place in Oak Creek Canyon from Slide Rock State Park to Sterling Springs Hatchery.

Was the Gettysburg Address a Mistake?
Lincoln was far too kind to the South. And we still are.
Four score and 70 years ago, America's Great Emancipator delivered the most famous speech ever made by a U.S. president. Universally regarded as a triumph of genius and brevity, Abraham Lincoln's stirring Gettysburg call for national reconciliation in the midst of the Civil War was a 272-word masterstroke of empathy, statesmanship and diplomacy.
It was also a missed opportunity.
Story Continued Below
The speech remains eternally inspiring for the way Lincoln refrained from laying explicit blame at the feet of an enemy so embittered to the cause upon which he'd staked his life (literally, as it would turn out) that it had eagerly thrown itself into its own fight to the death.
Lincoln sidestepped all that rage. And in so doing, he sidestepped the lessons of Gettysburg, thereby failing to predict—or prevent—the ways in which they were fated to play out over the next century and a half.
Shotgun wedding, prolonged divorce
Beyond the hallowed battlefield oratory, Lincoln's address revealed the course on which a not-quite-so-benevolent federal government actually hoped to steer the country after the costliest battle of the Civil War. "It seems clear to most historians … that when Lincoln resolves that 'these dead shall not have died in vain,' he is speaking of the Union dead—not the Confederates," says University of Georgia Civil War scholar Stephen Berry, author of House of Abraham: Lincoln & The Todds, a Family Divided By War. "The Confederates did die in vain—and we should be thankful for it."
A similar hope was driven home with more ferocity on the floor of the House of Representatives in 1865 by Pennsylvania's Thaddeus Stevens—whom you may recall as the testy emancipation hero portrayed by Tommy Lee Jones in Steven Spielberg's Lincoln. "The whole fabric of southern society must be changed and never can it be done if this opportunity is lost," warned Stevens, speaking of Reconstruction. "Without this, this government can never be, as it has never been, a true Republic."
The original union between northern and southern states was a shotgun wedding, Stevens and many of his contemporaries understood—hence that contemptuous addendum: "as it has never been." Following surrender, the North made its clumsy (patriotic southerners might say criminal) bid for reconciliation through Reconstruction, dividing the South into military districts, establishing military governments and requiring ratification of the 14th Amendment, which gave blacks citizenship with "full and equal benefit of all laws." The South, casting itself as the woebegone victim through typically radical politics (obstructionist), religion (evangelical), race relations (segregated), education (under-funded) and business (anti-labor), has done its level best ever since to remain an emotionally estranged partner who nevertheless sticks around for the financial support.
Over the succeeding century and a half, the Dixie pathos that Lincoln and Stevens sought to destroy instead morphed into the scoliotic backbone of American politics that burdens us today—a vendetta against Washington, D.C., so besotted with ancient grudges and hidebound demagogic exaggeration that it renders productive discourse and open exchange of ideas a virtual impossibility.
Think the Dixie-fried Tea Party and health care fight represent something new? The impulse behind them is the same one that gave us Jim Crow.
The game of division practiced by conservative reactionaries today—mostly southern, though the obstructionist contagion has spread to all 50 states—is the same as the fathomlessly fraudulent politics that split the country in 1861. Think the Dixie-fried Tea Party and health care fight represent something new? The impulse behind them is the same one that gave us Jim Crow, brought the National Guard to Little Rock High School and led Hank Williams, Jr. to record, "If the South woulda won, we woulda had it made."
Nearly two years of fighting after the calamity of Gettysburg proved exactly what two-plus years of battle over Obamacare does: This is a tribe incapable of accepting compromise or conciliation. As a Confederate flag supporter in Georgia told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution in 2004 after his side lost a referendum to keep the Confederate battle flag as part of the official state flag: "We will keep our anger alive. We shall be grim and unconvinced and wear bitterness like a medal."
Within the narrow-minded confines of the Us-against-the-North worldview, recognizing the ultimate sovereignty of the U.S. government amounts to an admission of weakness. As a result, the South no longer sends politicians to Washington. It sends blinkered warriors whose job is to represent the unbending naysayer impulse inscribed on a certain type of southern martyr from cradle to tailgater to grave.
Worse, no longer are southern pols even the seditious but gifted white-maned officer orators of the Senator Claghorn days. At least those guys had style. Nowadays, the South consigns to Washington mere foot soldiers whose Men's Wearhouse political dexterity renders most congressional debate as erudite and elegant as an employee smoke break in the parking lot behind the Waffle House.
Forget a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Anymore, Green Eggs and Ham actually amounts to an elevation of discourse among certain southern legislators.

We're off on another adventure. And we'd love to meet you along the way.
As many of you might remember, we spent much of September in a minivan, driving around New England, holding potlucks and meeting so many of you lovely people. (If you want to take a look at some of those experiences, here are the posts for your perusal.) Those gatherings and the laughter we shared with so many of you have fueled the recipe development and testing we have been doing in our kitchen studio since then. Now, it's time to hit the road again.
On Saturday, we're flying down to San Francisco to start our California road trip.
Why California? There is so much good food there. Think of how California chefs and restaurants have set the trends for meals and ingredients these past 50 years: Chez Panisse, farmers' markets, Wolfgang Puck, Zuni Cafe, Lucques, Bar Tartine. California supplies so much of this country with fresh produce, particularly those farmers in the central part of the state. And I grew up in California, in Claremont (where we are going), but I never appreciated those miles we drove when we went up to Washington to visit my grandparents. To really understand the food of that state and its importance to American cuisine, I want to go back as an adult.
Danny, Lu, and I would like to meet you.
Here's where we are going to be.
Sacramento, Sunday February 16th
On Sunday, we're having an afternoon potluck party at the home of a friend in Sacramento. This one is an invite-only potluck as we can only have so many people there. If you would like to attend, email me at email@example.com, telling me why you'd like to be there. I'll let you know the address and details in the return email.
Oakland, Tuesday February 18th — Mariposa Bakery, 7 to 8:30 pm
We're big fans of Mariposa, one of the best gluten-free bakeries in the Bay Area. Years ago, we had a small event in honor of my first book. Now, we're going back to their new space in Oakland. We'd love to meet you there.
Bring a potluck dish to the party, a food that really feels like the cuisine of the Bay Area to you. (This is a dedicated gluten-free baking space so please do not bring any gluten!)
Mariposa Baking
5427 Telegraph Ave, Unit D3
Oakland, CA 94609
Come on out!
San Carlos, Wednesday February 19th — Zest Bakery, 3 pm
We can't go to the Bay Area without visiting our friends Charissa and Patrick at Zest Bakery. Lucy still talks about their baked goods. We'll be making a stop there for tea and treats. If you'd like to join us, come on by at 3 pm.
Madera, Thursday February 20th — San Joaquin Wine Company, 6 to 8 pm
We're very excited to meet the farmers of central California and meet you at the lovely San Joaquin Wine Company in Madera. They have generously volunteered the space for our party. Let's gather with great food that feels like that part of California to you. Bring a potluck dish, with gluten or without. We want to hear your food stories!
San Joaquin Wine Company
21801 Avenue 16,
Madera, CA 93637
(Thank you so much to K.C. Pomering for organizing this for us!)
Santa Barbara, Saturday February 22nd — Santa Barbara Farmers' Market, 11 am
We won't be having an official potluck here, but we'll be heading to the farmers' market to meet farmers and gather armfuls of the produce we won't be able to find in Washington for months still. If you're in the area, and you'd like to say hello and share some food, come on by.
Los Angeles, Sunday February 23rd — Silverlake Park, 1 to 3 pm
Years ago now, we had a potluck picnic in Central Park. Everyone who attended either had the word YES or IMAGINE somewhere. That lovely afternoon in New York was really something else. And that experience taught us how much we love potlucks. There's something wonderfully relaxed and inviting about a potluck. Instead of the perfect table glowing with candles, white plates and wine glasses? There is green grass, dozens of different dishes, and laughter.
It's time for another picnic in the park.
This year, we're having a potluck at Silver Lake Park in Los Angeles. As our friend Catherine said, it has a "…huge grassy flat area with hipsters, kids and kites on a windy day." There seems to be a open expanse of grass right in front of a reservoir. We'll meet you there at 1.
Bring the food that really feels like Los Angeles to you. (If you want to bring the gluten version, feel free to do so! Just mark it clearly.) We can't wait to feast with you.
(We've looked at the weather forecast and it's supposed to be in the mid-60s and reasonably sunny. I remember from when I grew up in southern California, 63° still felt like we needed parkas. But think of the people on the East Coast and their 5 feet of snow right now. They'd love to be in 63° weather. Go ahead. Brave the weather. Come out to meet us.)
Silver Lake Park
1850 W Silver Lake Dr
Los Angeles, CA
As you can see, we'll be in plenty of places. But we learned our lessons from the trip in September. We won't be doing a potluck every day this time. Instead, we'll be meeting with farmers, friends, chefs, bakers, and savoring the tastes of California. (And also, driving. There will be plenty of driving.) To follow along with our adventures, feel free to check out my photographs on Instagram, see what we're saying on Twitter, and hear everyone's suggestions for places to eat on our Facebook page.
Speaking of that, if you have suggestions for great restaurants, farms you feel we must visit, places to stay, farmers' markets where we should shop, or gluten-free bakeries we should try, please leave your suggestions in the comments section of this post. Everyone who wants to visit California someday — make your lists.
We can't wait to meet you, to eat with you, and to hear your food stories, California.

I.. Might be interested?
I'm still mulling over ideas though, what do you guys need?
I might have a Lunar--how much combat do you expect to see in this game?
Repeated banging of my head against the wall doesn't seem to be helping ideas fully mesh. I should probably abdicate the Dawn position.
Bah! But I like playing fighty characters!

Tina en het kasteel van de vleermuis (Tina 25, 1977)
Female Spanish comic artist Pura "Purita" Campos is specialized in girls' comics, which she has mostly made for IPC in the UK and Oberon in The Netherlands. Born as Purificación Campos in Barcelona, she studied at the Llotja art school for seven years and then worked as an illustrator and costume designer for fashion magazines.
El elixir del amor (story published originally in the British magazine Mirabelle in 1963)
She started doing illustration work in the late 1950's, drawing covers and interior illustrations for Can Can and Celia, both publications by Editorial Bruguera. she soon developed a specialization in girls' comics and contributed to publications like Blanca (the serial 'La Historia de May Dunning' with Alberto Cuevas and Alicia Romero), Sissi Novelas Gráficas (illustrations and fashion drawings) and Dahlia.
Patty's World
In the 1960s she began her production of stories for foreign publishers, through Bruguera's Creaciones Editoriales agency. She first achieved success with her art for the British comics series 'Patty's World', that was scripted by Philip Douglas. This comic ran for nearly 20 years, and was also published in Spain in Lily magazine under the title 'Esther y su mundo'.
Covers for Tina (1975)
Campos was also a regular story and cover artist for the British girls' magazines Mirabelle, Valentine and Princess Tina by IPC, and thus landed a job with the Dutch version of Tina magazine in the early 1970s. Purita Campos remained one of the main artists for this girls' weekly for about four decades. Her best known creation for the magazine was the title comic 'Tina', created with Andries Brandt and later Marjolein Winkel. Campos drew the strip, that eventually became known as 'Tina en Debbie' until 2007, when Edmond took over.
Campos' stories were distributed widely among other European publishers. 'Tina' was published in Spain as 'Jana' in the frist half of the 1980s. Her serial 'Gina' was created with writer Frank Elliot (pseudonym for her husband Francisco Ortega and published in Spain in 1978, before being translated to English and many other languages. Campos and Ortega created the comic strip 'Dulce Caroline' ('Sweet Caroline'), that was published in TBO magazine by Ediciones B in 1989. Another notable work by Campos is her comics adaptation of the 'Heidi' novel by Johanna Spiry for Bruguera's 'Historias' collection.
Gina y la Pitonisa
She gained new success when Glénat España reprinted her 'Gina' stories in 2005 and the picture book 'Esther y el mundo de Purita Campos' in 2006. New stories starring 'Esther', by now an adult woman and written by Carlos Portela, were published by Glénat from 2006 under the title 'Las nuevas aventuras de Esther'. Her collaboration with Tina in Holland ended about the same time.
Besides being one of the best selling comic artists in Spain, Pura Campos has been active as a painter since 1988 and giving courses at her husband's art school.

Is there any data of the expected length of publication cycle with respect to different peer-reviewed journals in theoretical physics?
I know that the length depends on many things, including the referees, the author and the submitted paper itself. However, clearly some journals have it shorter or longer. While a long response time is not necessary a disadvantage (the referees may actually care to understand paper thoroughly (as it happens commonly in mathematics), while the preprint is on the arXiv anyway), it may influence decision of sending the paper to one journal or another (along with the Impact Factor, the Eigenfactor, etc).
Of course always it is possible to perform a reconnaissance in force. However, with little or no prior experience with a particular journal (1 data point is not enough to estimate the variance) it could be difficult to estimate if it is going to take a few month or 2 years (with all its consequences).
So is there any list of times (mean, variance, median... or the full data) for any of the steps in the following sequence $$\text{submitted} \rightarrow \text{reviews}\ (\rightarrow \text{response}) \rightarrow \text{accepted} \rightarrow \text{available}$$ for different peer-reviewed journals?
To clarify: I am not interested in mean(/variance of) acceptance time averaging all journals in TP. Rather, I am asking for a list of time vs journal.

I first encountered the work of Pam Longobardi when I came across this sculpture she created in collaboration with Joe Peragine and Craig Dongoski about a mile from my house. It's called The Water Bottle Art Project:
I then came across her in the Atlantan, who describes her much better than I can:
Not content to just observe, Atlanta artist, Georgia State Professor and avid surfer Pam Longobardi acts. She crafts powerful artworks from the soup of plastic waste she finds floating in enormous trash islands or washed up on beaches, bringing them into the white box settings of international galleries.
If eco art is your thing, I have a feeling her upcoming book will be one you will want for your shelves. It comes out this fall, but you can pre-order it here. To see more of her Drifters Project, click here.

On Normandy beach, U.S. president salutes W.W. II victors, warns N. Korea, Iran
COLLEVILLE-SUR-MER, France_On the 65th anniversary of the Allied invasion of Normandy to free Europe from the Nazis, President Barack Obama saluted the elderly veterans who once stormed the beaches and achieved an "improbable victory" in World War II.
Calls for cooperation instead of unilateralism, and diplomacy whenever it is possible, ran through the remarks at the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial by Obama, French President Nicholas Sarkozy, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
After a two-hour meeting in nearby Caen earlier in the day, Obama and Sarkozy told reporters they were on the same page about most foreign policy issues - including the closing of the Guantanamo Bay detainee prison, reviving the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, and responding to North Korea's nuclear tests and Iran's nuclear program.
Obama called North Korea's nuclear and missile tests "extraordinarily provocative" and said they were "constantly destabilizing" the region. He warned: "We do not intend to continue a policy of rewarding provocation."
Regarding Iran, Obama said he had shifted from conditional talks favored by President Bush to direct talks without preconditions. But he warned it would be "profoundly dangerous" if Iran obtains a nuclear weapon and would provoke a nuclear arms race in the region.
Sarkozy told reporters that he and Obama had a "total convergence of views" on North Korea. He said he'd told Iran's foreign minister "how important it is" to accept Obama's offer of talks, adding: "We cannot in any way accept the insane statements made by President Mahmoud (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad" - a reference to the Iranian leader's denial of the Holocaust.
"We basically coordinate on all major issues," Sarkozy summed up, "and we are determined to continue that."
The events in France capped Obama's four-day trip to the Middle East and Europe, a trip built around his speech Thursday at Cairo University seeking to repair the deep rift between the U.S. and Muslim nations and restart the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks.
At the cemetery overlooking Omaha Beach, before the graves of 9,387 soldiers, Obama told thousands of veterans and family members that "we live in a world of competing beliefs and claims about what is true," and "it is rare for a struggle to emerge that speaks to something universal about humanity. But all know that this war was essential."
"The ideal of the United Nations was born from the struggle of the free peoples against Nazism," Sarkozy said, adding that their collective duty "is to give life to that ideal." Noting that Obama's grandfather and a great uncle had served in World War II, Sarkozy told the president: "You are therefore twice over, by the office you hold and by the blood which flows through your veins, the symbol of the America that we love."
Brown accidentally referred to Omaha Beach as "Obama Beach."
The leaders lay a wreath at the memorial for the soldiers. Guns saluted. Taps played. Jets flew over.
Obama recalled how D-Day secured France, opened the path to Berlin and paved the way for Europe's liberation, the Marshall Plan, NATO.
"It was unknowable then, but so much of the progress that would define the twentieth century, on both sides of the Atlantic, came down to the battle for a slice of beach only six miles long and two miles wide," he said.
As well as the improbable victory by the Allied forces, Obama said, D-Day resonated in the American consciousness because of its "clarity of purpose."
His choice of words underscored his message this week that Muslims must no longer debate the history of the Holocaust, and they seemed to justify his moves to end the Iraq war and deploy more forces to fight the Taliban and Al Qaida in Afghanistan.
A sea breeze cut the warm, sunny air as the D-Day veterans, the youngest of whom are 82, filed to their seats.
Veteran and former Sen. Bob Dole, his wife, former Sen. Elizabeth Dole, and actor Tom Hanks were in the crowd. Bob Dole said it was too soon for judgments on Obama's skills as commander in chief. "The commander in chief has a great challenge," he said. "Things happen you can't control." Elizabeth Dole said she was humbled to be surrounded by "heroes who literally saved the world."
Susan Eisenhower was there, the granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, who commanded the Allied forces on D-Day. So was Prince Charles, and Obama's great uncle, Charles Payne, who helped liberate a sub-camp at Buchenwald the following year.
One veteran who made the journey this year despite his failing health, Jim Norene of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 101st Airborne, died in his sleep on the eve of the ceremony, after one last visit to the cemetery, Obama told the audience.
"May he now rest in peace with the boys he once bled with, and may his family always find solace in the heroism he showed here," the president said.
Many of the World War II veterans who returned to Normandy said they were honored by the presence of Obama - who is young enough to be their grandson and never served in the military.
"I like him and I really appreciate the fact he took the time to come," said John Gill, 84, of Madison, Wisc., who at 19 anchored off of Omaha Beach on June 8, 1944, and was severely wounded two months later at Vire when he was hit by the Germans.
On Saturday, Gill, rolled through the cemetery in a wheelchair, clutching an envelope that contained maps of his path. He also brought photos, including one of him with President George W. Bush at the last anniversary he attended. His message for Obama: "Make more diplomatic efforts to prevent wars. People have no idea what it's like. It's terrifying."
But some viewed the president's participation as a distraction.
"I reluctantly accepted the invitation to attend," said Charles L. Wilson, 84, a retired major general from Fort Worth, Tex., who now lives in Belgium and flew airplanes in the South Pacific during the war.
"I didn't vote for him," Wilson said, decrying what he sees as Obama's "socialist" tendencies. "He's heading our country in the direction of European nations, and that's a mistake. He hasn't served in the military. He's grown up in an environment that's shaped his attitude toward the world, and we can't change that."
Kevin Jones, 38, a black American and Desert Shield veteran, who is now living in Paris where his wife works as a lawyer, said "it doesn't bother me at all" that Obama hadn't served in the military.
"It makes me proud to see my president."
