PANalytical is an international scientific instrumentation supplier which develops and manufactures X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) equipment for use in research and industry. PANalytical was formerly Philips Analytical, a division of Philips, prior to its sale in 2002. PANalytical now operates as an autonomous business unit of UK-based technology company Spectris plc.[1] PANalytical is headquartered in Almelo (the Netherlands), with additional research facilities and applications laboratories in Eindhoven (the Netherlands), the United Kingdom, Japan, China, and the USA.
In 1931, Philips introduced the first commercially available X-ray machine, Metalix. In 1948, North American Philips corporation (Norelco) introduced the first commercial X-ray diffractometer product in cooperation with the US Naval Research Laboratories. In 1954, Philips Analytical introduced the PW1520 XRF spectrometer, forming the basis for commercial X-ray fluorescence products for elemental analysis.[2] That same year, Philips introduced the PW1050 goniometer (θ-2θ geometry) for both diffraction and fluorescence products. The PW1050 goniometer remains at the heart of many diffractometers still in use today.[3] In 1972 the headquarters and system development were relocated from Eindhoven to Almelo. Over the next several decades, Philips expanded their product line under the Philips Analytical brand before the division's sale to Spectris in 2002. Prior to the Spectris acquisition, PANalytical sold their photoluminescence mapping product line based in Waterloo, Canada to Accent Optical Technologies.
The PANalytical organization is set up covering the following regions: Asia Pacific (HQ in Singapore), AMEC (HQ in Westborough, MA, USA) and EMEA (HQ in Almelo, The Netherlands).[4] The company's current product line includes diffraction and fluorescence systems (energy- and wavelength dispersive) for materials science applications and process control.

About the only positive that can be drawn from the San Diego Chargers first half of the 2011 season is that they play in the second worst division in the NFL and that will serve to give them life with the Super Bowl XLVI odds. The Chargers have split their first 8 games and have looked worse each week. The biggest concern of all has been the regression of quarterback Philip Rivers who threw 3 interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns, against the Green Bay Packers in a 45-38 loss.
The three interceptions were a career high in a game for Rivers and he has now thrown a NFL-worst 14 for the season. About the only saving grace for San Diego head coach Norv Turner is that he is supposedly a good offensive and QB coach but that is looking less to be the case as the Chargers are playing rotten football and Rivers is a big part of the problem. In their game at Kansas City prior to the Packer loss, Rivers fumbled a snap from center as the Chargers were set up for a short range game winning field goal attempt. The inexplicable botch was emblematic of the season.
Part of Rivers problem is that the surrounding cast has gotten far worse than when the Chargers peaked with a 14-2 season in 2006 under then coach Marty Schottenheimer, who was fired after a fluke playoff loss to New England in which the Chargers fumbled away a game clinching interception. General Manager A.J. Smith hated Schottenheimer, who was a strong and independent leader and thinker and hired Turner as his compliant puppet after Turner was fired for being a big loser in head gigs with the Washington Redskins and Oakland Raiders.
Smith has been in a horrible slump as perhaps there is karma with the falling out with Schottenheimer. Smith has had woeful drafts in recent years that have not produced an impact player.
A major example of Smith's poor management has been at the running back position where there are no solid players to take the heat off of Rivers. With production having fallen off to record levels of ineptitude, Rivers has faced the pressure of having to carry most of the offensive burden which goes a long way towards explaining his recent slump with interceptions and why the Chargers may be doomed to miss the playoffs.

but gumbo tastes so inappropriate as far as words can depict,
walls doors and gardens,
leads can be taken-
interpreted in many different ways but that's just -
The story starts off once again in traffic. The time is right the time isn't late its just on time, and its better to be with someone when your alone. -Let them know, we'll be in shortly.
While all the instincts of dinner can lead to an appetizing experience we, are- still in a rush.
Some new faces, count, one two three, no one else. Three, recognize any of them?
-why is everything so complicated,
the flush of nausea, rushes up within me. dipped in reality
Time says we are all getting older. Stop talking to myself, stop talking to us.
Attention is not held, my attention is focused too much on the experience. Coupling together everyone, plays the part in letting me know the problem is as much this situation as we are in, that contributes to my part in it. Few words describe the unrelenting tap of my foot, the unending unravel-ment of thought that leads us cyclically back to the start, its a loop, has everyone seen the loop?
Don't say I, don't say we didn't tell you don't mention me, don't talk- showing signs of weakness, -open to be read, and we are as much me as I.
Arms sitting "indian style" (and they do not say that anymore, and one day writing will be optional) the vibrations lead me to realize my heart is failing my blood flow, it's in the flow. We all get old one day they will be old and one day- they might not be that young. They might not make it but you still have to watch what you say. My thoughts return to the nausea that causes me to realize the vibrations are driving my blood pressure up.
Does everyone feel this, my hands can't keep still?
It's in my arms, my heart and reality is nauseating me- the second floor vibrates
-the speaker is dull and our uninteresting interest is as much a construction as it is a landmark.
-of the uninterrupted uninterpreted? Dipped in reality-
The food taste better and it seems that everyone agrees on-
with the meal, one is provided- the bearer of a burden to which it will draw forth our commands' of attention, and it's hard to explain but it is not mandatory even when they tell you it was it should not because it does not matter.
life and death-
jumping out of windows, on TV
it was not a movie, and it was not a show
there- were no actors- no comedians
People- have died from jumping out of windows-
-jump out of a window two stories high
when your young & dumb-
jumped out of a window just for fun-
two hops- a ledge- a swing- a fall-
when we went to school we learned to leave-
the teachers helped us jump
it is unclear how the word travels so fast,
unclear how you wash up on the shores of my home
worlds away with all the seas to sail, my bay is alone
your thoughts are washed up on the shores of my gulf,
and it is, somehow
so clear,
your so far away
the ripples bring your being closer to my feet when the waters are full- with you inside them-
my feet walk me deeper into your seas, while all your words tug at my skin
& the steps into you- are minor details that we are together
were we deep within each others waters
lets walk onto dry land-
lets hold still while we wait-
-humanity was outside, outside the world was filled with a reality that nauseated my senses. Love had torn me apart, again and again, I was left with the living embodiment of all the people in and out of my life. The wind was blowing me back now and the words were ringing in my head- take me away from here. Sympathy for humanity ,was not far from my grasp and still sadness surrounds me in the dark- take me away from here. Sentiments for others had always been asleep inside me and all I wanted to do was wake them so as to take care of someone else. It was how special and unique my thoughts were to me, in the way showing my caring could be absorbed by others. There was no moral distinction it was a mere principle of reflection, my sentiments for others. The common experience will always be us, it is the evidence that we are alive, and it seems as if though it's a natural understanding an element of loneliness- and sympathy has my personal merit.
It wasn't until I felt old that I knew what it was like to be young. Only the lucky get to feel fuzzy headed the young man told the seniors. We all get there and there's no right and wrong, there is no better- there is only different.
"Sometimes both utility and analogy fail and leave the laws of justice in total uncertainty."
have you ever scared your self,
taken your limits to meet you and told them how easy you can break them
returning to your grave did you think that you would see your downfall,
think of all the times-
when action took a backseat to responsibility and thought-
this is the death of me- the life for me.
-there's an analogy, in traffic.

CHARLES TOWN – The Jefferson County Commission declined to endorse a resolution opposing the sale of the Harrison Power Plant Thursday, with several commissioners saying they lacked sufficient information to approve the measure.
[cleeng_content id="711385875" description="Read it now!" price="0.49" t="article"]Only the Calhoun County Commission has so far passed a resolution condemning the sale.
Opponents of the sale claim the aging coal-fired power plant – which would be transferred from one FirstEnergy subsidiary to another at a cost of $1.1 billion, with the costs to be covered by an initial 6 percent rate increase – is worth less than half of what FirstEnergy claims.
They say the sale is motivated by the plant's inability to compete in states with deregulated markets, where customers are able to choose between a variety of electricity providers. By moving the plant into West Virginia's regulated monopoly market, they say, FirstEnergy will transfer the risk of rising coal costs and future environmental regulations to the state's ratepayers.
Charles Friddle, FirstEnergy's director of external affairs, disputed these claims in testimony before the commission, though he did not offer specific details. He declined to be interviewed following his testimony.
"I would ask the Commission not to approve the resolution in opposition to this transaction because there is simply not enough time to present all the facts needed to make a decision," Friddle testified. "This is a complicated, complex issue that is in front of the Public Service Commission.
"There is a cost with this transaction, but let me be clear: doing nothing also has a cost. Implementing energy efficiency programs has a cost. Securing other sources of generation has a cost. That is why the Public Service Commission is the proper body to make a decision, since they have the knowledge, expertise and evidence from all parties to draw upon to make a decision."
Friddle said the transaction was in the best interests of the utility's customers. He said it would cost more for FirstEnergy to buy electricity on the market, which would be necessary soon if it did not increase its own generation capacity.
Several commissioners took the opportunity to grill the representative about recent widely reported billing issues during which many residents complained of months of badly estimated bills followed by an enormous "shock bill" that was many times the size of their ordinary bills.
Commissioner Dale Manuel pointed out that FirstEnergy had declined to send a representative to a large meeting convened by the NAACP and the Sierra Club to examine the billing issues.
"The NAACP held a public meeting on this issue. FirstEnergy didn't send a representative to answer the questions of the people," Manuel said. "I'm wondering if you can explain that position to me."
Friddle said it was his understanding that the NAACP held a meeting regarding billing issues, not the generation transaction.
Announcements for the meeting released at the time indicated that both recent billing issues and the sale of the Harrison Power Plant would be discussed.
"They knew that there were problems," Manuel asked. "They knew that people were disgruntled. Why didn't they send a representative?"
Friddle responded that confidentiality requirements would have prevented FirstEnergy from addressing individual billing issues. He also pointed out that the Public Service Commission had not sent a representative either.
"That certainly does not mean you couldn't have sent someone, and, I think, doesn't excuse your not being willing to talk to your customers," Manuel said.
Commissioner Walt Pellish strongly condemned FirstEnergy's handling of the situation.
"I'm going to take the opportunity to express extreme dissatisfaction with the company's handling of the rate issues and the meter reading issues. In my opinion, that was a public relations disaster," he said. "It was poor management to one of the worst extents I've seen. You made no attempt to ease the situation with your ratepayers. And, quite frankly, in the business world I came from, if someone had been responsible for making certain decisions they (would have) lost their job."
Friddle agreed.
"We have handled it very poorly. The merger that we went through with FirstEnergy, when we merged our computer systems … it was a disaster," he said. "As time went along we had some things that created almost a perfect storm in our billing."
Commissioner Patsy Noland said that promises of easily available interest-free payment plans had not been fulfilled in many cases.
"The power company has been less than willing to work with them in trying to get their bills paid," Noland said. "It is no fault of these people that their meters were not read, and then they are stuck with big bills to pay. And no cooperation, or very little cooperation, from the power company."
Commissioners were more divided when it came to the matter of the Harrison Power Plant.
Pellish categorically rejected a resolution opposing the sale.
"It is none of our business. This is a PSC matter," he said. "I expect qualified people to make that decision."
"I am probably the most qualified person in this room in terms of mergers, acquisitions and financial analysis," said Pellish, a retired business executive, "and I wouldn't touch affirming the allegations that are in this resolution because I don't know if they're true, and I don't know if they're not true."
Commissioner Jane Tabb said she was sympathetic to the resolution but did not have enough information to support it. "With more information, I may be on board," she said.
Noland echoed these sentiments.
Commissioner Lyn Widmyer said she was ready to support the resolution, as did Manuel.
"I think it is our job to weigh in on these things," Widmyer said.
The commission will take up the resolution – possibly in an amended version – Thursday.

Fed: US consumers have decided to 'hoard money'
One of the great mysteries of the post-financial crisis world is why the U.S. has lacked inflation despite all the money being pumped into the economy.
The St. Louis Federal Reserve thinks it has the answer: A paper the central bank branch published this week blames the low level of money movement in large part on consumers and their "willingness to hoard money."
The only great mystery involved with this notion that we are in a low inflationary period is why the myth persists despite all the evidence our grocery bills post to the contrary. The Fed, however, may be partially correct but not at all in the particulars. Savings does not amount to hoarding as the money in those accounts is constantly being invested and reinvested by way of providing capital to banks making loans. What does amount to hoarding is 80 billion dollars a month being created and then placed into the non consumer economy.

INDIANAPOLIS | A controversial plan to have the General Assembly decide how revenue from a Lake County income tax could be spent likely is dead.
State Sen. Ed Charbonneau, R-Valparaiso, said Thursday he is dropping his proposed conference committee revisions to Senate Bill 585 and instead will concur with the House version of the legislation Friday, the final day of the 2013 legislative session.
"I think there would be a better way to distribute the funds on some very significant economic development issues for the county," Charbonneau said. "But to me, there are too many good things in the bill to just walk away from it."
Charbonneau's plan called for a county income tax of up to 1.5 percent to be distributed in 0.25 percent increments as follows: property tax relief, public safety, Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority, county building projects, additional property tax relief and any other economic development purpose.
The two Democrats on the House-Senate conference committee, state Sen. Earline Rogers, D-Gary, and state Rep. Charlie Brown, D-Gary, said they never would agree to Charbonneau's plan to have the legislature, and not the County Council, set how county income tax money could be spent.
Without their approval, the measure likely would not have advanced for final votes in the House and Senate.
That endangered the other items in the legislation including the restructuring of the Gary airport board, the transfer of tax funds from the Gary Sanitary District to the city of Gary, studies of the need for a trauma hospital and Lake Michigan port in Gary, and whether the Port of Indiana should pay Portage for municipal services.
Charbonneau's decision to accept the House version is all but certain to be approved by the full Senate, which will send the proposal to the governor for his signature or veto.
The House version contains a provision inserted by state Rep. Hal Slager, R-Schererville, that deletes a state law, known as the levy freeze, capping the revenue of all local governments in Lake County at their 2007 amounts as punishment for Lake's being the only Indiana county without an income tax.
But with the Lake County Council meeting Friday to approve an income tax the levy freeze will be automatically thawed and Slager's proposal will likely be moot.
Rogers said she hopes the council won't change its mind on enacting an income tax just because the levy freeze will be gone.
"The money generated by lifting the freeze (about $4 million) is not enough to take care of the problems that we have," Rogers said.

LOCKPORT, NY (WKBW) -- The Lockport Police Academy and Housing Authority have been teaming up for more than a decade to reach out to local kids every year by spending time teaching them what officers do, while also mixing in some fun. "They are showing what they do and how they support our community and... I think it's really cool," one participant said.
"It's my first year here, having lots of fun," another kid said.
"Teaching them how to enter and exit buildings, how to search for people in the dark," Lieutenant Doug Haak, who is a coordinator, said. "We have a different relationship than most officers have with these kids and sometimes we talk to them when they are having some difficulties and make a difference."
"Show the kids a police dog," Steven Ritchie, a K-9 officer, said. "I think at any age to get that relation with the kids is important... get them to relate to police officers and see we are just like them."
The week wrapped up on Friday with an awards ceremony. The week long event is something officials say will continue for many years. "I think this is here to stay for a very long time," Lockport Mayor Michael Tucker said. "I think it has really become an important part of our city."

Elizabeth's is SUCH a great addition to our neighborhood! The UWS 90's needed a friendly upscale-casual spot like this. We've gone there several times for dinners, lunches, or just drinks. Never disappointed!
Posted by Ezar on 01/12/2013
Im surprised at all these not great reviews. I have eaten mostly at the bar but not exclusively. I have never had a problem with the service nor being seated. The staff is friendly, the food is good, plain but not boring, baked chicken, meatloaf, nice salads. I go here when I want something I would make myself but don't feel like making it. Great place for a few block stretch which is quiet and filled will people from the 'hood.
Posted by UWS'er on 01/06/2013
My boyfriend and went here not long after it opened and thought it just wasn't that great. We gave them another chance and ordered from them- he got the same food and it was still the same- no flavor/overpriced. We will not be coming back.

We've been here several times for dinner and the food and service have always been consistently good. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere and good food. A great addition to the UWS.
Posted by mbny18 on 09/13/2012
Great atmosphere. Slow service, waited 35 minutes for dinner. Turkey burger was delicious. More than 6 mushrooms on the burger would have been nice! Fried chicken was dry (how is this even possible!) and the mac and cheese had no taste. I might return for a burger and a swing on the porch, but nothing else.
Posted by John on 06/15/2012
They served me eggs benedict with a plastic tie cooked into the center! I went for brunch with a party of five. Although we were seated quickly enough (we had a reservation), we waited almost a full hour for our food to arrive after they took our order. Not once did anyone stop by to apologize or explain the delay. The place is kid-friendly in that nobody objects to loud children. I would avoid and go anywhere else.

The salmon is quite tasty as are all of the salads and soups but I'm hooked on Elizabeth's fried chicken. We love this neighborhood gem.

At the top of Col de Puymorens, 850 miles so far.
When it come to ascending the mountain on a bicycle, I'm not sure how to described it, all I can says it's probably one of those age old male trait of getting it done, needing to complete it, an ego booster, or simply climbing for the sake of climbing, in fact I really don't know why I liked doing it, perhaps it's the pain cave? the achievement or lack thereof? or the challenge? Then I remember George Mallory's comment when asked why he climbed Everest, and his respond is simply;"Because it's there"I reckon that summed it up perfectly, simply because it's there was enough reason for me to ride the passes, humanity has always been trying to reach out, to leap before you look, to take risk, having says that, it's not exactly a risk climbing Hardknott, it was as 48 hours prior to arriving in Cumbria, Hardknott was impassible covered in snow and black ices, I knew this but pressed on out of sheer stupidly (or braveness they're in all honestly the same, you can't have just the one).
Won't be long before I embark in similar journey across the Andes.
Just need to figure out whether I should stick with the Thorn, or get a Pugsley, feeling the Pugsley love already…

Alright question time. I haven't been active in months, but how many people followed me for Marvel Avengers and how many people followed me for 1960's British Avengers? Because I'm really starting to think that - while I still like Marvel Avengers - it was mostly a summer infatuation, whereas Emma and Steed are my long lasting love.
If there aren't a terrible amount of people saying they came for Marvel Avengers, I might just take a break from them. Right now I'm just more interested in my childhood British show. Hope no one's terribly offended, feel free to unfollow, etc. D:
So yeah. Marvel Avengers or British Avengers?

The Director of Indiana's Child Services Agency has resigned following reports that say he violated his department's ethical rules in a case involving his own grandchildren.
Governor Mitch Daniels accepted the resignation of James Payne earlier Monday.
Daniels defended Payne's handling of the department in a statement.
In it Daniels said, "His resignation does not alter the plain truth that thousands of Indiana children are better off, and many are alive only because of the passionate and devoted leadership of this fine public servant."

The Pittsburgh Steelers are gearing up for some overbidding and gambling, otherwise known as NFL free agency. The official signing period begins at 4 p.m. Eastern time Tuesday.
While most of the time the Steelers sit back and just bring back incompetent players that once put on the black and gold, this season may be different.
After two consecutive 8-8 seasons, the pressure is on for the Steelers to make some big moves this offseason. This is further confirmed with names like Jermichael Finley and Alterraun Verner being linked to the Steel City. Louis Delmas was, too, but the former Lions safety reportedly agreed to terms with Dolphins on Monday night.
In addition to these free agents, the Steelers will have to look at a few other positions in order to return to greatness. Let's take a look at four players they should target in this offseason.

Today is Gail Simone's birthday and, really, what better way to honor they day then with a stripper dressed as Knockout jumping out of cake to cheer up Scandal Savage?
Here's hoping we see these folks again soon. (And a happy belated birthday to Nicola Scott who drew this panel)
The announcement that Gail Simone was leaving Batgirl this week also included yet another reference to her writing a new book for DC Comics. During a recent Reddit session Geoff Johns mentioned her working on a "Top Secret" project.
Today at the London Comic Con during a spotlight panel Simone hinted to attendees she is launching Secret Six. She then continued the hinting on Tumblr.
The Secret Six was one of the most well reviewed books that Simone worked on while under contract to DC Comics. Spinning out of a Infinite Crisis mini-series, the book ran for 36 issues and was cancelled as part of the new 52. At that time the book had just fallen under 20K an issue.
During the new 52 DC launched Suicide Squad which many saw as a replacement for the Secret Six. That book was cancelled earlier this year when sales fell to just above 20K. That book used several of the same characters that had appeared in Simone's Secret Six including Deadshot and Killer Shark as well as Amanda Waller.
Suicide Squad just relaunched with a new writer so it will be interesting to see which characters from Simone's original run appear. Several of the characters including Catman as well as Simone created characters Scandal Savage and Jeanette have not been seen in the new 52. Tremor a character created near the end of Simone's run appeared in The Movement. Another Simone creation, the modern Ragdoll, recently appeared in Batgirl.
The biggest name from the original run was Bane. Since he appeared in that series, the character gained prominence when he appeared in the final film in Nolan's Batman Trilogy where he was played by Tom Hardy. During the Reddit session Johns said that Simone was writing XXX XXX which certainly leans toward a top name character such as Bane.
Secret Six was one of DC Comics more diverse books including asexual, bisexual and lesbian characters. Given the current state of LGBQT characters in the DCU, I hope the new Six, if true, continues the trend.
Secret Six was one of my favorite books during its run and i think probably the best thing Simone has written. It combined high adventure, horror and black humor like few other comic books have. I hope the hint is true.
Did you go and celebrate Free Comic Book Day? I did and had a blast!
I (along with DCWKA, jr.) headed up to Double Midnight Comics in Manchester, NH. These folks help put on the Granite State Con which I've attended a few times and it gets better every year. Their shop is great - big, well lit and friendly to all. They run a monthly Ladies Night as well. If you are in the area, stop in.
The place was mobbed when I got there with a line out the door and down the parking lot.
They were there for comics and to meet these two comic ladies:
The line was filled with male and female comics fans with comics for Gail Simone and Marjorie Liu to sign including my pal/guest poster Jon Christianson.
There other comic creators there too. I spoke to the Shelli Paroline and Braden Lamb who are the illustrators of the Adventure Time series. Both are pleased with the success of the book.
There were cosplayers everywhere. I posted a lot of images yesterday so take a look.
I also picked up a bunch of trades on sale:
And two Eaglemoss figures:
I was so excited to find that Renee figure; she will go on the same shelf as my Batwoman figure.
I also picked up lots of FCBD comics for the kids as well as DC's sneak peak at Futures End and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. I liked one of those comics.
I ended the day with drinks and dinner with GeekMom's Corinna Lawson.
How was your FCBD? What comics did you like? Any trades or other things you were excited to nab?
Tomorrow is the first Saturday in May and that means it is Free Comic Book Day. Why is it the best day for comic book lovers? Because it is designed for NEW comic book readers to join the flock. You can't keep an industry going without new blood. While the fastest growing demographic of comic reader is women with many buying digitally (and let's hope they still do after the Comixology curveball thrown last week) FCBD is great for another demographic - kids!
Shops around the world are opening their doors to have parties, sales, costume contests (HINT: TAKE PICTURES FOR THIS) and most importantly give away FREE comics.
That's right FREE!
It's always fun day and for my kids it is right up there with Halloween, Christmas and Easter.
The folks at Diamond Comics sent me all their Free Comic Book Day offerings and I've sorted through them and have a few that you should pick up. (You can see them all, many with previews, here.)
You have until midnight tonight to take advantage of the 50% off sale Dynamite Comics is running for their 10th Anniversary.
Among the titles on sale are Uncanny, All the pulp titles including The Shadow, Green Hornet and Project Superpowers and Garth Ennis' The Boys. There are both single issues, trades and Omnibuses included in the sale so there are some very good deals here.
For those of you who haven't given Gail Simone's Red Sonja a try it is a very good deal - you can pick up the first six issues for around a buck each. It's a fun series and Simone does a great job meshing her sense of humor to Sonja's world.
Again this runs until midnight EST Sunday (today) and is only available on the web version of Comixology. Use the promo code DYNAMITE.
Today is Gail Simone's birthday. Instead of the traditional Batgirl cake to celebrate, here's a change up. (Interesting fact … there doesn't seem to be any Red Sonja cakes).
In March Dynamite announced that Gail Simone would be taking on Red Sonja. Simone's run starts next Wednesday, July 17. The first issue has already sold out of its initial 35K run at Diamond and has gone into a second printing.
I just read the first issue and you are going to want to pick this one up. It's fierce and fun and you don't need to know anything about Red Sonja to enjoy it.
I chatted with Gail Simone with about her views on Red Sonja, her hopes for the run and how she came up with those awesome covers by female artists and that interview follows.
DC Comics said at their recent reseller roadshow that the Zero Year issues will extend beyond the current Batman series into other titles as seen on the slide below:
Dan DiDio reportedly stated to attendees that this wasn't just a crossover to leverage the Batman book but that the writers "had expressed a genuine interest in writing a story that occurs at the same time as Zero Year."
One of the writers who did express genuine interest was Gail Simone who stated on her blog that she had what she considered to be "a cool story".
But that story won't be part of the Zero Year issues as Simone was informed that she won't be writing it.
Interesting give that Simone wrote the new origin for Batgirl in last year's "0" issue - an origin that was already worked into the promotional materials for Injustice Gods Among Us game.
Simone is, of course, the writer most associated with Barbara Gordon having written her as Oracle in a long running Birds of Prey stint and then rebooting the character for the new 52. Simone has been the writer on the title since then except for two issues when she was fired by DC and then rehired. At that point Ray Fawkes wrote the title.
So who will get the call to write the new first year of Barbara Gordon? You can only wonder. One writer sure not to get the call is the last person to write an origin story for Barbara Gordon - Chuck Dixon. Although apparently you can't have too many origins as DC just reissued that the hugely popular Batgirl: Year One by Dixon/Beatty/Martin in trade (along with Robin:Year One) last week.
Gail Simone's newest DC title hits the stands and digital devices on Wednesday and here, via the fine folks at DC Comics, is a preview. Getting a little bit of a Secret Six vibe here.
It's a Gail Simone day in comics. If you pop up to USA Today you can see a preview of Batgirl #19 including the WTF cover as well as a tease regarding the secret of Barbara Gordon's roommate, Alysia
And Dynamite has released more variant covers for her upcoming Red Sonja ongoing by Jenny Frison, Amanda Conner and Stephanie Buscema.
During ECCC Dynamite announced that Gail Simone will be the new writer on Red Sonja. Last night during the Dynamite panel Simone said she's "having so, so much fun writing it. It's going to be bad ass" She said the book would have a "strong female character with lust, humor, blood and maybe some severed heads. Also alcohol and plagues."
Red Sonja most famously appeared as part of Marvel's Conan the Barbarian and then her own series. The character was later was relaunched by Dynamite where she has appeared for the last decade. Red Sonja, a sword wielding barbarian, is known for both her red hair and her costume which consists of a chain mail bikini.
That chainmail bikini was addressed during the panel last night. Dynamite publisher Nick Barrucci asked Simone, "don't you think it's unrealistic to have a woman wear a chainmail bikini, how can you write that? Oh, I must be reading too many posts." Simone said, "I'm not the one wearing the chain bikini, Red Sonja thinks its fine. She'd be more uncomfortable in a formal dress."
The publisher and Simone smartly lined up a number of female artists for the book's covers perhaps giving that bikini a bit of teflon. The interiors of the book, however, will be by Walter Geovani. Among the artist doing covers are Nicola Scott, Fiona Staples, Colleen Doran, Jenny Frisson, Stephanie Buscema and Amanda Conner. Simone said that when contacting the artists many of them turned out to be "closet Red Sonja fans."
Here's a look at the Fiona Staples cover. The book is out in July.
During a panel at the Wizard World Portland, Gail Simone reported that Gail Simone would be including a "benched" character in the upcoming series "The Movement"
The announcement was made via a tweet, actually Simone's husband said:
She says a benched female character is coming back in the Movement…
The characters most widely viewed as "benched" are Cass Cain and Stephanie Brown although Simone ruled them out earlier.
The series will be out in May.
Following the publication of a list of the "Comics Power 100" a few weeks ago the lack of women led to a post of 10 women who could/should have been on the list. Among them:
Gail Simone, creator DC Comics - Beyond being a strong creator, Simone has a passionate fan base that will follow her from book to book. As the creator of Women in Refrigerators she's considered a thought leader on gender in comics. Do you really think that DC would have gotten rid of Oracle as easily if Simone hadn't been attached to Batgirl? Most recently Simone showed her clout by raising over $117K on Kickstarter for a creator owned comic, Leaving Megalapolis.
That's just my opinion, of course. And we all know how much a woman's opinion on comics is valued. At least three feminazi's, two crazies and one or two "hysterical fangirls"!
But that statement about getting rid of Oracle for Batgirl is not opinion and is absolutely true. DC has made many controversial decisions over the years but that one? Breaking their promise to readers? Getting rid of their most prominent physically challenged character? That was a hugely controversial one. But putting Simone on the book mitigated a lot of the issues. And DC absolutely knew that.
So in the bizarro world that is DC Comics:
DC canned Gail Simone from said Batgirl book (by email to boot) (but probably with a :( in it too.)
Writers get bounced off books all the time in comics. But usually there's a reason - and that reason is usually because of sales or because the writer doesn't agree with where the editors and management want to take the book.
(And for the speculation that being outspoken on social media and having vocal detractors is a gig killer at DC … if that were true how do you explain one of the newest lead writers on the Trinity?)
Given the sales on Batgirl it would seem that wasn't the issue. So is it the other?
Probably? From what I've read and been told, DC's editors and publishers have their fingers deep into every book. The litany editorial mandates about the most minute things that have been passed down to writers over the past two years is boggling - everything from what weapons a character can use, to last minute name changes (and unnamed changes) and, of course, the outright refusal to allow creators to use certain characters. George Perez has publicly discussed his experience. So did others like Liefeld and Rozum. There are others who haven't gone public but their stories are just as disheartening.
It's almost as if some of these books are successes in spite of DC. That's a scary idea.
The saddest part of this incident with Simone is that DC treated one of their biggest cheerleaders like this. She's a vocal supporter of the DC line and promoted the hell out of new 52. She's constantly promoting comics and the shop owners who drive the business.
But she is also quick to criticize DC around their treatment of women, people of color and LGBQT. You know, the folks that DC and comics has historically ignored or had issues with.
Let's hope Simone's treatment, especially a week after Karen Berger announced she is leaving, is not a signal that dudebro train is getting ready to leave the DC station once again (especially after the glacier melting a bit around targeting female readers sited last week).
However, if you're not on that train, I'm hard pressed to think why you wouldn't feel a bit concerned about DC Comics.
Today there's one less female creator on a book at DC despite DC saying they "heard" the concerns from readers after the train wreck around gender at SDCC. And it's the one who had the biggest seat at the DC writer's table and the biggest voice about the treatment of female and other under represented characters.
Definitely very concerning.
Earlier this week I wrote about how much I love Kickstarter as it empowers me to help get comics that I want to read made. And now here's another great example. I thought that Secret Six was month in and month out the best team book DC produced. But unfortunately the book got cancelled as part of the new 52.
Now the two creators of that book are publishing their own title via Kickstarter. This evening Gail Simone and Jim Calafiore announced Leaving Megapolis, an 80 page original Graphic Novel.Simone promises that this book will feature the same "balls to the wall" style of Secret Six.

Gail Simone wrote Helena Bertinelli in two volumes of Birds of Prey.
I know a lot of people have hardcore love for the Helena Wayne version of the Huntress, but I'd never really read any of her stories, so for me, Huntress was always Helena Bertinelli. To my dying day, whether she appears in current continuity or not, she will remain one of my favorite characters, not just in comics, but in all fiction.
To be blunt, Helena is the shit. I adore her.
The charge was often leveled us, when I took over Birds of Prey, that we had added the Huntress to the book to tie in with the television series that had spun off from the book's previous incarnation. The truth is, it was my idea to bring her in. The show had already flopped, and DC was in no hurry to be more closely affiliated with the series. So they were not thrilled with the idea of bringing Helena aboard. I made a stern case, aided by a great editor, the fierce Lysa Hawkins, for what Helena would bring to the book; her unpredictability, her untamed nature, her unmatchable will. All of that stuff was true, but had nothing to do with why I wanted her in the book. The truth is a lot simpler.
She was badass.
Completely, unendingly badass.
My first run on Birds of Prey, there's no question I spent more time on Black Canary's character. It wasn't that I loved Dinah more, it's that I felt Helena hadn't needed so much rehabilitation. Dinah had been a hostage many times, a wet blanket…it seemed a lot of great writers had no idea what to do with her. Helena was different, writers seemed to know that her value was her uncompromising nature. Nearly every story she appeared in, she kicked someone's physical or metaphorical ass, even Batman seemed to take a cautious step back in her presence. I loved that, that was a woman I wanted to read about.
In my second run, we planned to focus much more on Huntress, starting with her taking over leadership of the Birds…she earned it, and it felt a natural progression. I was also lucky enough to write the character for some animated shows, and her natural shine made that leap look easy. It wasn't me, it was all her.
If my career ended tomorrow, I wouldn't have a lot of regrets, because I know this one little miracle, this little thing I still am somewhat amazed at—I got to write Wonder Woman. I got to write Black Canary. I got to write Homer Simpson. I got to write the Spirit. I got to write Superman.
And I got to write Helena Bertinelli.
You can't do better than that in superhero comics. I seriously felt writing Birds of Prey was simply the best gig in comics. I had no envy for the Spider- and X- writers, because I got to write the Huntress every month. Huntress, who made Batman smile and Shiva pause. You can't do better.
I have my favorite Huntress writers, people like Cavalieri, Rucka, and Grayson, but almost all writers seemed to step up to the plate a bit more when Helena was on panel. She had that kind of star power charisma.
It makes me very sad to be writing about her in the past tense. I have no idea what DC's plans are for her, hopefully her time on the bench will be short.
Love you, Helena, come back soon!

Last chance for Lichtenstein
Yikes, where is the time going? This week is the last chance to see Lichtenstein – A Retrospective at Tate Modern and I managed to get my eye in fashionably late last week. If you love his classic dot artworks, this is a chance to see them in huge scale which is really not to be missed. Most people are familiar with the War and Romance era, the comic-book style 'WHAMM!'s and melodramatic close-ups of women in distress. Continue reading
Hormazd Narielwalla's pieces of a pattern
Showing at the Saatchi Gallery this weekend is Collect, the annual international art fair from The Craft Council, now in its 10th year. Go up to the top floor and you'll find the Project Space, an area highlighting the conceptual work of eleven artists whose work bridges the gap between art and craft. Among them is Hormazd Narielwalla who is exhibiting five 'Love Gardens' sculptures, based on discarded military suit patterns. Continue reading
Quote of the day: Odile Burluraux on Keith Haring
"Haring was very keen on Paris, he came often on the Concorde just to go dancing on Saturday and go back on Monday…"

The museum is hosting The Political Line, a retrospective of 250 pieces of Haring's work that runs until August 18th.

Kurt Schwitters: pop art pioneer
Creating beauty from urban detritus. Robert Rauschenberg did it, Peter Blake did it, Eduardo Paolozzi did it, but well before them, Kurt Schwitters built his deliciously layered collage art from found materials. He even invented a name for it – 'Merz' – which described his equal opportunities approach to creativity, in which all artists materials and techniques had the same value. Continue reading
Tracey Emin's love letter to New York
What an amazing digital art exhibition! I've just discovered Tracey Emin's 'I Promise To Love You' display, which runs in New York's Times Square throughout February. A display of her neon artworks on Times Square's billboards, it's part of the "Midnight Moment", a presentation of the Times Square Advertising Coalition (TSAC) and Times Square Arts.

Juergen Teller at the ICA plus some other 2013 exhibitions to diarise

(Venetia Scott makes an appearance too)… Continue reading
The Artist In His Studio
Years and years ago I bought a photo book by Alexander Liberman called The Artist In His Studio (it's out of print but you can still find it on Amazon and eBay). I was (and still am) a bit obsessed with artists and their paraphernalia.
In this month's US Vogue, Annie Liebovitz has produced her mini-version, featuring the studios of Jeff Koons, John Currin and Jasper Johns. I loved the accompanying interviews and the close-up of Jasper Johns' charcoals and pastels. I definitely think she should do a follow up to the Liberman book.
On a side note, another publication that offers regular peeps into artists' studios, and writers' abodes, is Apartamento. I've just finished reading the last issue which featured the bookseller Conor Donlon and the writer Duncan Fallowell (below) who has every nook of his atelier stuffed with books. I can't decide if this is heaven or hell…
Portraits of cities: William Klein + Daido Moriyama at Tate Modern
William Klein + Daido Moriyama is possibly the best thing I've seen all year. Comparing and contrasting both photographers' approaches to street life in New York and Tokyo, it instantly appealed to my love of graphics and energy in documentary photography. Years ago I saw a Garry Winogrand exhibition at The Hayward and I still vividly remember those in-yer-face compositions of life in New York. Some of these reminded me of those.
The exhibition space is a layout of vast, high ceiling-ed rooms that give breathing space to the biggest and most dramatic Klein artworks (he often mashed up photography and art by sploshing paint around the borders of the image or across the image itself for even greater impact). Like his wide-angle compositions that put you in the midst of the action, the design of the exhibition repeats Klein's sense of big city chaos. Framed photos are densely ordered row on row, depicting the busyness and character of Rome, Moscow, Tokyo and New York. Also integral are the photo books on display by both Klein and Moriyama, many on loan from Martin Parr's extensive collection.
Moriyama's work is less punchy and more detached than Klein's, with greyer, grainier portraits of Tokyo and New York street life. They didn't have such an immediate impact for me but I loved the room of Polaroid montages towards the end. The exhibition is on at Tate Modern until 20th January and I highly recommend going on a Friday evening to avoid the weekend crowds.
Menswear focus: stylish Londoners get suited and booted at Burberry, Alexander McQueen and Selfridges
I literally can't keep up with all the menswear retail goings-on in London this autumn. Just opened in Knightsbridge is another shiny new Burberry store (above), this time focussed on menswear. Craftsmanship and technology are given equal attention, with the store itself built by British stonemasons, carpenters, cabinet makers etc and over 50 speakers and 100 screens installed to engage the customer with digital experiential content.

Vue backs all-digital cinema in U.K.
The theater, equipped with digital projectors, digital sound and Digital 3D equipment, is scheduled to throw open its doors Dec. 14 in Hull, England.
"We believe this development paves the way for the future of cinema by encouraging film distribution and studios into providing more films in digital format," Vue Entertainment CEO Tim Richards said. "The installation of a 10 Terabyte computer server allows over 100 movies to be stored at any one time, providing the opportunity to offer a wide and varied choice of movies."
Vue also plans to show alternative content covering music, sport and comedy in addition to movies at the 10-screen multiplex, Richards said.
The move comes less than a week after Vue said it would invest £6.5 million ($13 million) in a duo of new multiplex sites in the U.K. (HR 10/18).
The cinema operator will dish out £4 million ($8 million) for a site in Kent, England, and another £2.5 million ($5 million) for one in Stirling, Scotland -- both with digital cinema capabilities.

EA Takes Over Scrabble App, Wipes Player Histories and Switches Dictionary
Soulskill posted about a year ago | from the you're-welcome dept.197
New submitter DeathToBill writes "EA is in the midst of another user backlash, the BBC reports. After EA took over operation of the online Scrabble brand, it introduced a 'new and improved' version. Improvements include requiring manual refreshes to see other players' turns, irretrievably wiping players' game history and a switch to the Collins dictionary (rather than the traditional Chambers edition) that has proved deeply unpopular with Scrabble fanatics. "EA was unavailable for comment.""

Meth Lab Busted on Warpath
Golden Triangle Waste Services employees called 911 Friday just past noon when they noticed a bag of trash start to smoke immediately after putting into the back of their truck. The employees, who didn't want to be named, were quick to call the authorities due to a similar situation that happened recently. On January 4th a fire did occur due to water coming into contact with Lithium battery strips. Lithium reacts with water to create heat and possibly fire or an explosion. Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics agents remarked that if you were to put 4 or 5 lithium battery strips in a gallon of water the container holding the water would explode. The chemicals, including Coleman lantern fuel and the insides from an ice mask were also dangerous to inhale and everyone kept a good distance from the bag. MBN Agents had to use a breathing apparatus during the inspection of the material to prevent accidental inhalation. After the bag full of a discarded "Shake and Bake" meth lab was contained MBN Agents and Columbus Police Department Officers attempted to make contact with the residents of the home where the trash was picked up. At first, no one answered the door at 719 Warpath Rd, but eventually officers made contact with a Teresa Bryant who wasn't sure if anyone else was in the house. Later officer learned that Kirby Dies, 37 of 2995 New Hope Rd, and Shanna Loper were asleep in the rear of the house. The MBN Agent in charge had a search warrant written up and signed by a judge within an hour and searched the house and premises. After a search of the inside of the home was completed, more meth producing ingredients were found. Kirby Dies was arrested for Possession of Methamphetamine and Manufacturing of Methamphetamine. The homeowner Jeannine Faye Bavan Malkawi, who didn't show up until later, and Teresa Bryant were both found to be in violation of their probation and were detained for MDOC. Animal control came and apprehended the small Cocker Spaniel named Gidget that escaped from the home as agents and officers were entering and leaving through the carport door. An unidentified female appearing to be in her early-20's was released without charge.0

They apprehended a cocker spaniel! Why, did they feel it was involved in making meth? Or was it because it escaped?
they didnt want it to inform any of the others about the bust.
They are busting a meth lab and you are commenting that they had to pick up a dog? where are your priorities? the presence of meth labs should be higher on your list of concerns!
Glad they busted these criminals. Our city workers, firemen and policemen and women are all that stand between us and chaos. The dog might starve or get hurt without someone taking it to shelter.
Theresa again?that girl stays in trouble!

The Lions have a lot of answering to do after turning in a terrible season in 2012, and general manager Martin Mayhew is starting to step up to the plate. Now that it's apparently clear that his job in Detroit is safe, he's starting to take the blame for the recent struggles the Lions have been having — sort of.
Mayhew halfway took the blame for the struggle on offense, but by taking the blame he shoveled most of it on concussed running back Jahvid Best, a guy he said was his biggest mistake.
"It's no knock on him, he did everything he could to get back," Mayhew said. "Based on the information we were getting, medically, I felt very comfortable that he was coming back. We didn't have a real plan to replace him. All the information that we had, acting in real time, was that he would be back.
Best missed all of the 2012 season after suffering a concussion and his future in the NFL has been called into question. Mayhew wouldn't definitively say whether or not Best's fate in Detroit is sealed or not, but he didn't say with any sort of confidence that Best is going to be back in Detroit and that he won't be the focus of the Lions running game moving forward.
"I'm not inclined at all to think it's going to work out," he said. "I'm not at all inclined to rely on his return at this point. If that happens, it will be great, but I'm not at all inclined to rely on that."
Mayhew said that it was never his intention to replace Best, but he had to roll with the punches once Best went down as hard as he did. But Mayhew also said that while Best may not be the man of the future in Detroit, that doesn't mean his skill set isn't highly sought after.
"We need that shifty back that can be a change-of-pace guy and can catch passes out of the backfield, a guy that can run routes one-on-one and beat a linebacker. That was what Jahvid gave us, a guy with some juice and some elusiveness. We'll be looking for that guy."
