TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) The Arizona Cardinals have released Kevin Kolb, ending the quarterback's two injury-filled seasons with the team.
The team's move on Friday came just ahead of the deadline for paying Kolb a $2 million roster bonus. The team paid Kolb some $20 million over two seasons after acquiring him in a trade that sent a second-round draft pick and cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie to the Philadelphia Eagles.
But Kolb was plagued by injuries and inconsistent play in his two seasons in Arizona.

I have used this service before and it was great, but this time the order which I placed a week in advance did not arrive on the specified day. This is incredibly disappointing as the occasion for which the flowers were meant has now passed. A very helpful agent is looking into this for me, but whatever the outcome, the flowers will not have arrived on schedule.

Rafa Marquez, Roy Miller available again for Red Bulls
May 8, 2012, 8:35 AM EDT
Are things about to get better or worse around Red Bull Arena with the return of Rafa Marquez from his three-game suspension?
Hans Backe's team is doing OK lately, after all, having hung on in difficult circumstances two weeks ago against New England (and watching leading scorer Thierry Henry limp off with a pulled hamstring) and were tactically perfect in a huge 1-0 win at Los Angeles.
But Marquez is, indeed available for selection Wednesday against Houston. So is left back Roy Miller, who will probably come regain his left back spot ahead of rookie Conor Lade.
Lade has often looked like a rookie out there. That's not to say he did badly, because he didn't. But you got the feeling he was just hanging on sometimes, stretched just to get the job done.
Not so with midfielder Dax McCarty. What Backe told MLSSoccer.com:
I always said and thought that [McCarty's] strength was from the halfway line and forward. But now perhaps playing a little bit deeper he has the whole picture of the field in front of him. … His passing, he only had two, three unforced errors in this game [against LA]. Overall, defending phenomenal, so let's see if that is perhaps his position for the future."
So, do you remove that guy for Marquez, who simply won't have the range or the energy to get into passing lanes and harass attackers as McCarty has?
The X factor here is scheduling. Specifically, the Red Bulls put a lot into Saturday's win, and then flew across country to get home. So, even if Marquez can't improve on the McCarty-Joel Lindpere-Mehdi Ballouchy central triangle, there may be some value in his presence.

"The Costs of Repeal"
Well, isn't this interesting. Just in the last hour or so, both the official Barack Obama and Organizing for America Twitter accounts have shifted their messaging from touting the benefits and success stories of Obamacare (few as they may be), to scare-whoring the costs of repealing the law.
In addition to that, WhiteHouse.gov put out a pdf bullet-pointing the parade of horribles should the American public decide they want to go this route.
This seems like a pretty significant backpedal. They've also gone to the expense of crunching the numbers (assuming they can be believed anymore than previous estimates) on the costs and interruptions associated with repealing the law at this late date. Not just nationally, but they've done this on a state-by-state basis as well. It appears a lot of time went into this new talking point.
They're also admitting that the law has significant problems:
Moving forward, the President and Democrats in Congress are committed to improving the health care law and fixing it when the need arises. Every day more uninsured Americans are signing up for plans as the website gets faster and more people with insurance are benefiting from the law.I'm not sure if they're seeing disastrous internal polling or if this is a shot at the increasingly-weak knees of several red state Democrat Senators up for reelection next year, but either way, this is not exactly a position of strength. Repealing our signature law that is creating nationwide disruptions and confusion will likely cause more disruptions and confusion! Sure, run with that. Also, the website will be faster. Huzzah.
If you're explaining, you're losing, as they say.

Cruising to the edge of the world (and hugging a husky on the way)
Metropolitan Bergen is Norway's second biggest city and just a couple of hours by air from the UK.
Cruise several hours north, however, and suddenly you feel as if you have landed in the middle of Creation.
After our first night aboard, we woke to find ourselves heading up the mighty Geiranger Fjord, a long, narrow inlet with precipitous flanks that rear vertically out of the turquoise sea. Nobody is to be seen anywhere here, only the occasional farmhouse bolted to a hillside.
Picture perfect: Passengers on the Hurtigruten ship weer astounded by the beauty of Geirangerfjord
Passengers stumbled to the promenade deck rubbing sleep from their eyes, hardly believing the exquisite beauty we were quietly sailing past. There was a palpable sense of amazement on deck as passengers attempted to squeeze – into one tiny digital camera shot – the amazing grandeur of thin white waterfalls cascading in apparent slow motion down sheer cliffs.
We guessed that Norway had one or two surprises up its sleeve – the Hurtigruten Norwegian Coastal Voyage is conspicuously sold as 'the world's most beautiful voyage' – but I don't think anyone that morning was ready for this stratospheric level of astonishing splendour.
The journey packs such a surprise because, in truth, we know so little about Norway. Its entire population is just two-thirds the size of London yet its land mass is almost a third greater than Britain.
Norway is the second least densely populated country in Europe (second to Iceland). A drive from south to north would involve more than a day's non-stop motoring – it's more than 1,300 miles. At its northernmost point – at the North Cape where the land mass of Europe ends at the Arctic Ocean – Norway loops over Sweden and Finland, ending at a border with Russia.
When we reached Kirkenes at the Russian frontier, an end to our seven-day journey (though many fellow passengers stayed aboard for another five days for the return journey back to Bergen), incredibly we were further east than Istanbul.
In its promotional literature, Hurtigruten cannily avoids using the word 'cruise' to describe its coastal journey. The term it uses is 'voyage'. And, really, what you get on Hurtigruten isn't anything like a cruise in the traditional sense – something that will surely gladden the heart of anyone who believes they would dislike a traditional cruise.
Land of the Midnight Sun: Thanks to the tilting of the Earth the sun never sets in Norway in the summer
The Hurtigruten fleet are essentially
ferries, working ships that link the ports along Norway's coast, places
which probably survive and prosper thanks only to this nautical link.
While there is a substantial body of tourists on each ship who are on
board to do the complete journey (as far as foreign travellers are
concerned, Germans and Dutch outnumbered the Brits on my trip), the ship
also has a workaday job.
majority of travellers seem to be native Norwegians travelling up and
down the coast, making a short hop for a few stops or even a day or two.
The Hurtigruten
schedule is busy: altogether over the journey there are more than 30
ports, meaning each day the ship visits several ports – making stops at
night as well as in the daytime.
board facilities are spartan in cruise ship terms: one restaurant, one
cafeteria, one cafe and a couple of bars; entertainment is a live band.
There are no shows, no movies, and a range of TV channels that barely
merits the adjective 'modest'.
passenger accommodation is functional. A more expensive 'mini suite'
provides the sort of accommodation you might expect as standard on a
normal cruise ship.
For extras, you have to pay: coffee and tea in between meals, and wine with meals. Surprisingly, however, wi-fi is free (and it's impressively rapid). Another positive is that the food is very good: breakfast and lunch are substantial buffets; dinner is occasionally a free-seating buffet but most nights there are seats at prearranged tables.
Shore party: Brightly coloured homes dot the coast and fjords, contrasting with the often spectacular backdrop
There is little in the way of organised fun but at each of the major stops, you will find excursions available. Generally, however, we were content to wander off the ship under our own steam – as we did at Trondheim – and visit the cathedral and buy a bottle of wine at local 'wine monopoly' prices (a bottle ashore costs the price of a glass on board).
Meeting the locals: Frank bonds with a husky puppy
But it's pointless to compare Hurtigruten with a traditional cruise. Travellers take the Norway voyage almost in the spirit of a pilgrimage. This really is a journey to the edge of the world – it's a special experience that feels full of adventure.
The itinerary takes you to 'The Land of the Midnight Sun', which itself sounds like a place of myth and legend (to set beside the likes of 'The Land That Time Forgot' or 'Beyond The Lost Horizon').
It scarcely seems credible: how can you possibly see the sun at midnight? Thanks to the tilting of the Earth, the area at or beyond the Arctic Circle is plunged into almost permanent darkness in the winter; but in the summer, the sun never sets.
I can't comment on what a winter of constant darkness is like – not much fun, I'm guessing (winter, however, is the time that Hurtigruten offers the chance to see the Northern Lights from its coastal voyages).
Having experienced a night-free summer, however, I can confirm that it is most odd. The sun never set for the whole week. Rather than being on the cruise for a week, it felt as if it were one long day. A long day's journey out of night.
It's not just the endless day I will never forget. There were dozen of memorable sights and experiences. Who could forget a close encounter with hundreds of Alaskan huskies at the Tromso husky farm with a chance to cuddle a husky puppy (the dogs are delighted by the experience).
A day later at Honningsvag at the North Cape we joined a puffin safari to Gjesværstappan Nature Reserve, about ten miles west of the Nordkapp rock.
Serious bird watchers on the tour were ecstatic at the chance to view the hundreds of thousands of puffins, and several soaring sea eagles.
On our final night, I asked a Dutch couple to mark the cruise out of ten. 'Nine,' they exclaimed: 'Cruises are a holiday – this has been an unforgettable journey. 'It really is one of those things you must do before you die.'

It may Incite some people or excite others but should gay persons and passable transgendered persons wear some kind of identification so that the rest of the world know who they are and not embarrass themselves by liking them or, in some cases, even to communicate with them? A friend, who is trans was having her hair done at a popular salon when a young woman, who was being trained by her hairdresser, with a colorful elaborate tatoo on her arm, began talking and seemed to have a lot in common. Both liked lesbian literature, tatoos, and feminist ideology. After the break, the trainee who had been gentle before, began making several mistakes. Tatoo girl soaked the back of her shirt while shampooing my girlfriend, pulled her hair while combing it out, and left the hair dryer in one spot so long it burned her scalp. It appeared that one of the transgirl's regular stylists told Tatoo girl that she had been male before changing her sex and she felt duped then angry. At the end of the session Tatoo girl took a brush and changed the style of the transgirl's hair to make her look less feminine. This treatment could have easily been avoided if there were some way, even for gays, to tell the gender and sexual orientation. Oh, to make this scenario more interesting or realistic as it may be, transgirl has had several boyfriends who beat her up after learning she had been different. What are your thoughts?
Life is a book.
Life is a book. All are writers whose pages turn brittle and crumble into dust in time. Scrawled across these yellowed leaves are the days of our lives, each letter a moment stolen, remembered before it is written. Memory knows, Faulkner said, before it believes, and Borges insisted, it's long after we are dead that we remember who we will become.
A Pocket Full of Love
A Pocket Full of Love
When there's tears in your eyes
And you're feelin' kinda blue
I've got a pocket full of love
I'm gonna sprinkle it in the air
Just for you
When your pet turtle dies and
There's tears in your eyes
And you're feeling down
and a little blue
I've got a pocket full of love
I'm gonna sprinkle it around
Jumping on your bed
bouncing up and down just for you.
When you fall on the ground
and skin your knee
Or bang your head against the wall
When you play with me
Don't cry because I'll tell you why
I've got a pocket full of love
I'm gonna sprinkle it around
And throw it in the air
For you and me.
Poetry Corner – October 2014
When i am alone
He creeps into my bed
Slips under the sheets and touches me
In all those private, sensitive places
I let no one else in the world ever see
And he makes me weep
Before I drift off to sleep.
As the darkness tucks me in,
And my eyelids flutter against the tide
I reach out with both hands
To see if he's alive.
The empty bed responds
with a moan and a sigh
that escapes my lips.
He is gone!
And I am alone.
He steals my dreams each night
When into my room he creeps
And steals my dreams in flight
He makes me weep
Before I drift off into sleep.
Before I drift off to sleep.
On Growing Older
Oh, how repetitive that line about time!
Too short they say for any man's dream
To come to fruition and bask in success
And youth is wasted on the young
Oh, what a mess!
But time is not the test.
The repetitive line we dread is said
By another one who once was young
And now understands the rest.
Time does not exist, only the present
God was not, is not some future thing
but was here along.
Creepy guys at gas pumps, excite me?
Driving back to Florida after the wedding in Virginia I had stopped for gasoline some place outside of Jacksonville. I sat in the car for a while trying to get out of that lethargic state one gets from driving too long between breaks. As I was getting out of the car this man drove up in a white van and began staring at me from between the pumps.
"Nice feet," he says. I look up at him as I'm pulling on my sandals. "I like the way you painted your toes. Nice color."
I had used OPI: I AM NOT REALLY A WAITRESS. My toenails were bright red. I wiggled them under his gaze. It was a normal response.
"So, you like driving barefoot?"
"It's comfortable, " I answered. "Especially on long drives."
He asked me where I had been driving from. I told him, my daughter's wedding. He asked how many kids I had. I told him: three. He then asked if I was married. I said: not for some time. He then volunteered his own life history, as though we were suddenly friends because of my marital status. I slid my credit card, punched in my zip code and began pumping gas while he told me he never found the right girl to marry. He had several long term relationships over the years, some liked him enough to marry but he didn't like them and some he liked but they didn't care enough for him to wed. Then he said: "you're a fine looking woman, If you don't mind my sayin'."
No, I don't mind, I thought. Wow, this diet is finally paying off. 120 pounds in two years. Although this dude is not really my type. He looks about fortyish and has a pleasant enough face, but doesn't quite fit my criteria for dating. He works as a sales rep for some company selling beverages. I think he was selling to the store that was part of the station when he spotted me whole getting into his van and drove over to get a better look. "Thanks," I said.
"Maybe I'll give you my number. You can call me. We can go out."
I stared at him and hung up the pump. His thick black hair combed back over his head was glossy and streaked with gray at the temples.
"Well, I just ended a long term relationship. I'm not ready to go out–" I had just told him I lived in Fort Myers, several hours south.
"Here." He held out his hand through his open window. There was a piece of paper in his palm that he held secure with his thumb. It looked like his thumbnail was chewed down to a stub.
I hesitated and looked around to see If anyone was watching our bizarre interchange. Everyone seemed preoccupied with pumping gas or walking into the store. None were looking at two strangers In conversation.
"Just give me a call if you want to go out." He shook the paper at me. His blue eyes brightened as I stepped over the concrete island that separated our vehicles. There were no windows on the white van and no sign or lettering to indicate it was a company vehicle. I pictured him grabbing me and putting his hand over my mouth to muffle my scream while he shoved me into his van and knocked me out. Silence of the Lambs seemed to ooze from my skin. I stood a few feet away and reached for the paper. His hand closed around my fingers pressing my fingertips into his soft, moist, fleshy palm. It was warm, almost hot. I blushed. I didn't pull away. He smiled and squeezed my fingers a little more and rubbed them between his before letting go. Creepy, I thought. I stood back and looked down at the torn piece of paper in my hand. It had a number scribbled on it. His hand writing was like a six year old, awkward and uneven.
"My, you're a fine looking woman," he said. I followed his eyes as they washed over my body, from my neck to my toes. I did look thinner in my long gray tunic and black skinny jeans.
"Thanks," I said, wondering if it was the right thing to say. I didn't want to encourage him. I really didn't think he was my type. He wasn't even very handsome. He kept staring at me as if waiting for something else. I stared back at the steel-blue gaze. "It's been a long time. I mean I just lost a lot of weight in the last year or so."
"You look fine," he said.
"Thanks," I said again. I walked back to my car knowing he was sitting, waiting, and staring until I got in and drove away. I checked myself in the mirror. My hair and make-up were fine but I looked tired. The van disappeared in my rear view mirror. It hadn't moved from the pumps and i noted that he had never gotten out to pump gas the whole time we'd been talking. I began to think about the creepy guy in the white, windowless van and the way his fleshy palm had felt, soft, warm and moist and the way he looked at me, and I felt a little guilty for eating a half of a cup cake at my daughter's wedding.
What the hell was that all about?!!!
Heal the World? Am I Crazy?
I want to heal the world. What the hell is wrong with me. Here I am broke and broken and this young clerk at Macy's looks at me, almost expectantly after ringing up my purchaee, a Kenneth Cole swim-suit on sale that I could never afford if she hadn't given me an additional discount because I haven't worked in three years, and probably won't wear right away until I drop seven more pounds, and certainly don't need because I have two others at home, but she tells me she's tired too when she hears me yawn, and then tells me she's working two jobs, and is recently divorced and making it all on her own raising her three children alone. All I did was comment on the beautiful bracelet she was wearing. It was black and studded with rhinestones that dangled on small delicate chains shaped like feathers of some mystical bird and caught the light. There was a matching one on her other wrist. She said a friend had given her them, not her husband, parent or sibling, a friend. So I jumped to a logical conclusion and thought she was gay. She assured me, after a moment, that she was not and looked away. She looked about thirty something, young, blond and pretty, no lines on her face that would have suggested she was that age so i told her she looked twenty-nine. She told me she was thirty three. She looked skinny and flat chested under her black smock, and her brown eyes were shadowed with worry and looked at me wanting and I wondered what for. What could I do? What could I say that could satisfy her yearning for answers that evaded me, after three broken relationships, a lonely, broken old-maid, and more years than I'd care to tell her, having moved back in her mother's guest room trying to sort out the ruins of my own life, but she needed me to. I confessed my own lowly situation revealing my vulnerability and lack of credentials as an advisor to a young woman working two jobs after a divorce and with three kids waiting for her at home, the oldest was thirteen the youngest was twelve, both boys, the middle child's sex and age though in between was unknown, but her eyes still held me, a window had opened and I saw her raw soul. I knew she cried when she went home at night and was all alone, after she fed her children, read to the youngest and tucked him in, then went back to clean the kitchen, pick up the living room and slink off to the bath. Her tears were like lightening silent and fast, clinging to her cheeks and stinging moments before sleep. She wanted me to say something, anything that might give her hope. I don't know why she saw me as her savant, a reflection of her future, broke and alone and wanted to know if she would be alright. I asked her: what is it you always wanted to do with your life? She told me: a mother, a stay-at-home-mom. That's when I told her I had children too, and like her I wanted to make it on my own, wanted to prove to the world and myself I could do it but I couldn't and I needed help. I needed a friend to listen to my troubles, someone who shared the same history and similar dreams. I explained that sometime we all need help, that I moved in with my mom, and accepted her charity, kindness and counsel. I now, late in life, realized it did not mean I was weak, just in between strength and ambition and needed a rest. Her eyes didn't waver. They held onto mine and she continued to stare at me still wanting. Get an education I told her, it's the only way to secure your future but I admitted that even with a JD, and MFA, I was still unemployed. Take a class at a nearby college, go to night school to meet other people her own age. People who could identify with her, other women who knew what she's going through and commiserate. She kept looking at me waiting for more. I told her to love herself, that she's beautiful–she stopped me–do you really think so? She asked. It surprised me. Yes, I said, absolutely. She smiled for the first time. Not a big beaming grin but a little one, almost unnoticeable if I hadn't been looking. You already accomplished your dream, she was like me that way I supposed, then I said: Now you need to re-plan and move on. She looked at me puzzled. You're already a mother, and a good one I can see, but you need to see yourself at forty, just ten years from now and your kids all leave. Her eyes widened. I was reaching something inside of her, touching that place she hid from everyone but for some reason, God only knows, she hid from everyone except me. Picture yourself ten years from now and plan accordingly. Take whatever help you can and do this for you. Your whole life has been dedicated to pleasing someone else, your children, your parents, your significant other or husband or whatever is applicable–husband she assures me–and you need to forgive yourself. None of what's happened is all your fault but you blame yourself, I know, because we all do, it's in our nature as women, but you need to do this, and love yourself to. Her eyes watered. You're beautiful, I reminded her, and meant it. I wanted to keep talking but something told me I'd said enough. She had to keep working, and thinking about her future, the one I just gave her, and me. I left her standing there still looking at me or where I had been, and left her to her own decisions, like a friend.

Presidential Primary
Pence backing Rauner but not campaigning with him
INDIANAPOLIS | Gov. Mike Pence will travel this week to several New England states, including the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state of New Hampshire, to campaign with Republican candidates running for governor.
BRIAN HOWEY: Move up Indiana's primary election
In April 2008, Hillary Clinton made a campaign appearance at the Wigwam in Anderson. About two hours before she took the stage, a huge line of thousands of people encircled the historic basketball gym, waiting to get in.
BRIAN HOWEY: Who benefits from the Santorum withdrawal?
The Indiana presidential primary has fizzled. When Rick Santorum pulled out of the race in Gettysburg, Pa., on Tuesday, it left Mitt Romney barreling toward the Republican presidential nomination with only a couple of gnats -- Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul -- buzzing around his head.
Why weren't Santorum, Gingrich on ballot there?
The Times stated Mitt Romney won five states on Super Tuesday. It went on to say that in four of the states, "neither (Rick) Santorum nor Newt Gingrich was on the ballot."

Wireless Microphone Systems Reinvented With HARMANâs AKG WMS 470
ORLANDO, Florida â Setting the stage for the next level in wireless live performance, HARMANâs AKG has debuted its WMS 470 wireless system at Infocomm. Designed for complete ease of use, WMS 470 incorporates a vast number of upgrades from previous AKG lines and delivers outstanding performance and reliable operation to users.
WMS 470âs new automatic frequency setup function immediately finds and displays all available channels, making the system ideal for less experienced users to operate. Before opening a channel, the pilot tone function will prevent unwanted startup noise â the receiver will only open the audio if the pilot tone is detected.
âHARMANâs AKG engineers have worked tirelessly to ensure WMS 470 was the absolute best system for our customers,â? said Wolfgang Fritz, product marketing manager â tour sound, AKG. âWe completely understand the challenges live sound professionals face in the line of fire and with WMS 470, we help relieve these tensions with the most advanced technology thatâs also simple to manage.â?
WMS 470 operates up to 16 channels simultaneously within the same frequency band and up to 48 channels by using multiple frequency bands. The transmitters are powered using a single alkaline, lithium or Ni-MH rechargeable battery, providing up to 14 hours of use with lithium batteries. The WMS 470 handheld microphone has a built-in dipole antenna to ensure reliable transmission with 50 mW output power, even if the user covers the antenna with their hand.
âOur 400 Series has become one of the most successful wireless systems on the market and the WMS 470 continues that lineage,â? continued Fritz. âWith WMS 470, artists and engineers from live music, tour sound, house of worship, educational and corporate environments will have a reliable, yet robust technology at their fingertips.â?
The WMS 470 is available in a variety of configurations for live music, instrumental, sports and presentation use including handheld, headworn and lavalier mic options. Packages include the WMS 470 D5 and C5 handheld sets, the WMS 470 Instrumental set, the WMS 470 Sports set and the WMS 470 Presentation set.
The WMS 470 wireless microphone systems are available at a suggested retail price of $449 to $529.

This online bonus material supplements the review of the Allen & Heath ZED-14 in the March 2008 issue of EM.
As I discovered in my examination of analog mixers with digital interfaces in the September 2007 article "Meet the Hybrids," small-format mixers that connect to computers are becoming ubiquitous. But tracking flexibility comes at a price. The Mackie Onyx series offers a lot of power with its add-on FireWire card, which allows every mixer channel to be assigned its own discrete recording track. (The smallest Onyx, the 1220, with the FireWire card has a list price of $1,209.98.) Newer hybrids like M-Audio''s NRV-10 ($899.95) even route tracks returning from the computer to individual mixer channels for processing.
Allen & Heath''s ZED-14 ($499) rivals these mixers in sound quality, but its basic USB 1.1 interface limits its recording capability to two tracks at any one time along with two tracks of playback. Of course, that''s all many live-sound engineers and band members need when recording a performance. After a live-sound mix is fine-tuned at a sound check, for example, a basic 2-track recording can be more representative of the band''s sound and presentation (and certainly more convenient to record) than a multitrack capture.
From that perspective, 2-track recording will make sense for many musicians, and the ZED series'' sound quality should appeal to anyone looking for a good value in analog mixers that have some digital capability. With an upgrade such as a USB 2.0 or FireWire interface and an extra port, which would allow two ZED-14s to be connected simultaneously for 4-track recording (or higher track counts), the smallest of the ZED siblings would be hard to beat, even at a somewhat higher price. As analog mixers move toward increased interoperability with computers, it will be interesting to see if the ZED series'' interface capabilities catch up with its impressive sonics while maintaining its even more impressive price range.
These are my comments.

Pointing out Marvel Studios' lack of on-screen diversity is nowhere near a new phenomenon. As ComicsAlliance's Andrew Wheeler has memorably pointed out, "If Marvel makes Thor 3 [as its first 2017 release], it will have made ten movies headlined by blond white men named Chris before it makes one movie headlined by someone who isn't even white." While not besmirching the talent or integrity of Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt, that's taking lack of diversity to admirably comic levels.
Additionally, the studio's lack of a movie with a female lead — specifically, a Black Widow feature starring Scarlett Johansson, although fans would also accept a Captain Marvel movie, or even a Squirrel Girl one by this point — has been commented on to such an extent that Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige recently weighed in, saying that he "very much believe[s] in doing it" in concept. "I hope we do it sooner rather than later," he added at the time, while simultaneously pointing out that Marvel's ongoing successful franchises make finding slots for new characters and concepts challenging.
That is somewhat of a smokescreen, in terms of excuses. As this summer's Guardians of the Galaxy shows, Marvel has no problem introducing new characters and concepts — in fact, we're due to have one per year for the next couple of years, with Ant-Man coming next year and Doctor Strange landing in 2016. In both of those cases, however, Marvel is sticking closely to white male leads. (Admittedly, the lead role in Doctor Strange is not cast, and it's not impossible that Marvel will choose to break with tradition and cast a non-white male as its Sorcerer Supreme — but, given some of the actors rumored to have been considered for the role, that doesn't look likely.)
Of course, there's still an obvious opportunity for Marvel to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat on the subject of diversity in casting. Both Wonder Woman and Sony's mystery Spider-Man project are scheduled (in the latter case, rumored) for 2017 release, and Marvel has an unnamed project scheduled for release May 5 of that year — almost two months before the June 23 bow for Wonder Woman. What if it snuck in a female-led movie just under the wire in order to be "first"?
Similarly, Aquaman isn't due until July 2018, and there are three unknown Marvel projects scheduled before then. Black Panther, Falcon or even an upgrade from Netflix to theaters for Luke Cage could help Marvel become the first studio to put a superhero of color on the big screen since 2008's Hancock — if it wanted to.
That, ultimately, is what this comes down to: what Marvel wants to do. As arguably the most successful movie studio around these days, and one that has demonstrated no problem in convincing mainstream audiences to accept a dancing tree and a talking raccoon as heroes, it's not a question of whether Marvel could make a movie with a woman or person of color in the lead role, or even could make such a movie a hit. It's a question of whether that's something that the studio is interested in doing. Whenever Marvel announces its next projects — something which may be sooner than later, given this week's Warner Bros. schedule announcement — we'll get the answer to that question."

The Appalachian region faces a number of serious health problems, including high rates of type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases. Since 2000, the ARC and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have partnered with Marshall University's Robert C. Byrd Center for Rural Health to support a network of local diabetes coalitions in the region's economically distressed communities. These coalitions organize community-based efforts to provide diabetes education and prevention services for thousands in the Appalachian region each year.
The Bristol-Myers Squibb Foundation's Together on Diabetes initiative joined the ADCTP effort in 2011, committing $2.6 million in new resources to the program. Together on Diabetes is a five-year, $100 million initiative launched in November 2010 to improve health outcomes of Americans living with type 2 diabetes by strengthening patient self-management education, community-based supportive services, and broad-based community mobilization. In line with the foundation's mission to promote health equity and improve health outcomes, the initiative targets adult populations disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes.
Thirty-six diabetes coalitions from across Appalachia submitted applications for the ADCTP funding. All groups that applied for funding and support will be included in the ADCTP network of more than 80 Appalachian coalitions, and will continue to benefit from training and technical assistance services provided by Marshall's ADCTP team.
For more information on diabetes prevention and control, visit the CDC's website at www.cdc.gov/diabetes//

Green wants jump start as treasurer
Nov 8, 2012
By Nathalie Hardy
Of the News-Register
Michael Green has just one problem with his new job as county treasurer: It doesn't start soon enough.
Green defeated opponent Bill Bordeaux, retired McMinnville teacher, in this week's election. Green had 17,937, or 59.55 percent, while Bordeaux had 12,185, or 40.45 percent.
Green is so eager to get to work he said he wants to start sooner than January, if possible. Treasurer is currently a quarter-time position, which is 10 hours a week. He said a jump start on the job would provide some time to learn and quickly assimilate the routines of the job before the new year.
He stated often during his campaign his desire to do more with the county's current investment policy.
"Not a great deal more, but some," he said.
The first order of business, he said, is to write an investment plan for the county, which needs to be reviewed by both the board of commissioners and the State Treasurer's Office Commission, which meets quarterly.
So, Green said, if he can start soon, he could have the plan ready by January's meeting. Otherwise, it might not be until spring that he can present the new investment policy.
"The sooner it gets done, the faster we can take advantage of any opportunities available," Green said.
Green, who has been serving on the county budget committee for seven years, said the county maintains a cash reserve of at least $15 million.
He said it has virtually all that money invested in the state's Local Government Investment Pool, which is only paying 0.6 percent, thus producing less than $80,000 of annual income.
Retired from corporate life as an executive in the Bay Area, Green is also growing grapes commercially and serving on the Yamhill County Soil & Water Conservation District board, which has named him treasurer.
During his SWCD tenure, he said, he had worked with the state Treasurer's Office to do exactly what he's proposing to do with the county — win approval of an updated investment policy.

STUTTGART (AFP): Maria Sharapova claimed a hat-trick of Stuttgart titles after coming from behind to win a three-set battle royal with Ana Ivanovic in Sunday's final.
Having won the 2012 and 2013 titles here, the 27-year-old Sharapova was made to work hard for her 13th consecutive win on Stuttgart's clay-courts for the 30th final win of her career before over-powering Ivanovic to claim a 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 victory in just over two hours.
"That was a tough bit of work," said Sharapova, who has won all four Grand Slam titles.
"I have always believed in my chances and the fighting spirit is something that comes from within me."
This was the first time Sharapova has claimed a third title at an individual tournament and comes on the back of last year's shoulder injury.
"This time around it's been extremely tough, that's why this win is so special," admitted Sharapova.
The Russian collects the winners cheque of US$133,896 (RM440,000) and a brand-new sports car.
"I will need to build a new garage to get all the cars in," she joked as she collected her third Porsche sports car in as many years from the tournament director.
It is the Russian's first clay-court tournament in her build-up to the French Open, having lost to Serena Williams in last year's final.
"We have seen what a great player Maria is," admitted Ivanovic.
Having been taken to three sets by the Czech Republic's Lucie Safarova in her first-round match, Russia's Sharapova had swept into the final with straight set wins over compatriot Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, top-seed Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland, then Italian clay-court specialist Sara Errani in the semi-finals.
But Ivanovic, the ninth seed, made the statuesque Russian dig deep and the 26-year-old wasted no time asserting herself over Sharapova, racing into a a 5-0 lead in the first set before the defending champion responded, but the Serbian held her serve to take the first set.
Having won her previous tournament in Monterrey, Mexico, last month, Ivanovic went 3-1 up in the second but the match's momentum turned against her when Sharapova broke her, then fought her way back to take the set.
Ivanovic had been chasing her first win over the Russian since the 2007 French Open semi-final, when Ivanovic went on to lose to Justine Henin in the final, but the Serbian ran out of steam and sixth seed Sharapova showed her experience to win 11 of the last 13 games.
