Virtually every American president in living memory has, like Sisyphus, pushed the boulder of the Israel-Arab conflict up to the top of the hill, only to see it roll to the bottom again over his toes. Thus, as President-elect Barack Obama ponders his Middle East options, he would be well advised to take a particularly close look at the single most ambitious peace initiative ever devised - that of president Ronald Reagan in 1982 who, at one swoop, sought to resolve the conflict once and for all.
This is what happened: August 31, 1982 was a Tuesday, and on that day Samuel Lewis, the US ambassador to Israel, received an "Eyes Only, Top Secret" instruction from Reagan to personally deliver an urgent letter to prime minister Menachem Begin, who was vacationing in Nahariya. Knowing he was about to intrude on Begin's well-earned rest after the strains and the stresses of the just ended war in Lebanon - code-named Operation Peace for Galilee - it was with enormous reluctance that Lewis picked up the phone to ask for an appointment, particularly since he was not entirely happy with the instructions he'd received. But who was he to question a presidential order?
"Hello, this is the American ambassador speaking," said Lewis into the phone. "Please forgive me but..."
"Ah, Mr. Lewis, how are you?" answered Aliza Begin in her tobacco roughened voice.
"I'm well, thank you. I do apologize..."
"I presume it's not me you want to talk to, but my husband. Hold on, I'll call him."
He felt a little hot under the collar as he listened to the background talk of Mrs. Begin telling Begin that the American ambassador wanted to talk to him on the phone.
"Sam, good afternoon. How can I help you?"
The premier sounded in fine fettle. He had reason to be buoyant, for though Operation Peace for Galilee had turned out to be bloodier than he'd hoped and prayed for, its outcome was, by his lights, a resounding victory.
"Forgive me, Mr. Prime Minister," said Lewis, "I wouldn't be bothering you, but I've just received instructions..."
"Speak up, Sam, the line is not very good."
"I said I've just received instructions to deliver to you personally a most urgent message from the president."
The premier sighed: "I hear what you say, Sam, but please understand, these have been rather stressful weeks, and I'm taking a few days' rest. So I hope whatever the message is can wait a few days."
"I'm afraid not, sir."
The premier sounded put out. "Sam, the last holiday I took was four years ago. I simply need a vacation, and I'm sure the president will appreciate that."
"I understand, but..."
"And I chose to come here to Nahariya so that everybody should know that things are quiet again on our northern border. So, I suggest we meet after I return to my desk in a few days' time."
Lewis's hands went clammy: "In normal circumstances I'd do that Mr. Prime Minister, but this really can't wait. My instructions are from the president himself."
Begin capitulated with a grunt: "In that case I suppose you'll have to do what you've been told to do."
"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister. I'll leave Tel Aviv right away and be with you in a couple of hours."
"I shall be expecting you," said a highly irked Begin.
SAM LEWIS was about to perform one of the more distasteful duties of his career. He was to go through the motions of consulting with the prime minister about a blueprint for a Middle East peace which carried the imprimatur of the president himself. He was to tell Begin that Reagan intended to make his peace plan public in a nationwide address within the next 72 hours, hence the hurry. And while he was to assure the prime minister that he would report back everything he said concerning the presidential plan, he was to leave no impression that the plan itself was open to modification.
The letter in effect said that while the US had hitherto functioned as mediator, it was now publicly expressing its own view. And that view was that for peace to endure it must involve Jordan as well as the Palestinians. The preferred American solution was not a Palestinian state since it would not be viable, but rather a transitional five-year period of Palestinian self-government in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, evolving into a political association with Jordan. Moreover, the US would not support any further Jewish settlement in these areas during the transition period.
Identical demarches were being made at exactly the same time by the American ambassadors in Riyadh, Cairo and Amman which, unlike Jerusalem, were in the picture.
As he was being driven along the coastal highway to Nahariya, Lewis read and reread the presidential letter and its attendant talking points, and the more he studied them the more irritated he became. The talking points appeared to him to be ineptly and inappropriately phrased, couched (as he was later to learn) in the identical language as that employed by his ambassadorial colleagues in Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia - as if Menachem Begin could possibly be swayed by the exact same arguments as tailored to appeal to the Arab mind and interest.
Lewis could only assume that the recently appointed secretary of state, George Shultz, was a man of such high purpose and hidebound integrity that he mistakenly believed it was imperative that all his ambassadors follow the exact same script so that no one could later accuse him of double-dealing.
The ambassador was also chagrined at not having been consulted more than perfunctorily about a peace plan which elaborated in far greater detail than any previous American initiative a solution to the most tenacious complexities of the political and territorial issues at stake, and this without even attempting to solicit the thinking of the one party whose stakes were arguably the highest: Israel. He bridled at having been excluded from the tightly-knit coterie which Shultz had gathered around him - and whom Shultz had sworn to absolute secrecy - when he was the best qualified to offer a significant input on the Israeli aspect of things, and the most competent to advise the president and the secretary on how and when to present the plan to a man of the likes of Menachem Begin.
As in life, so in diplomacy, timing can be as important as substance, and in this instance the timing was abysmal. In Lewis's view this was the worst of times to expect Israel to make enormous sacrifices and take tremendous risks in surrendering the West Bank and the Gaza Strip when the dust of the Lebanon war had hardly settled, when the nation was still mourning its dead and when the Israeli Right and the Israeli Left were locked in a furious tug of war over the human cost of the war, the excessive length of the war and the political gains of the war.
Such were his troubled thoughts as his car drew up to a small boarding house whose façade was the color of diluted mustard, on a partially paved Nahariya street with a partial view of the sea. Aliza Begin, sensibly dressed in a housecoat and slippers, came padding to the door to usher him in, and the prime minister received him with a gush of hospitality.
"Welcome, Sam," he chirped, hand outstretched, rising from his armchair.
"I really am sorry, Mr. Prime Minister to disturb you..."
"Say no more about it. You have your duty to perform, and if your duty can't wait, you must perform it."
LEWIS HAD never seen the premier looking so relaxed. Instead of his usual suit and tie he was wearing a sports shirt and slacks, and the spontaneity of his reception, warmed all the more by Mrs. Begin's freshly-brewed tea, made him feel particularly bad, given the severity of the mission he'd been instructed to perform.
"Well, Sam," said the prime minister after a pleasant preliminary chitchat about this and that, "what's on president Reagan's mind that can't wait?"
"I am instructed by the president to deliver this to you, Mr. Prime Minister," said Lewis gravely, handing over the letter.
The premier adjusted his spectacles, drew the page to his face, and began studying it with intense concentration, searching for the meaning behind the words. And the more he did so the more his brow puckered and his face dropped, so that by the time he reached the president's signature his features were a scowl and his mouth thin with displeasure.
"Sam," he heaved, "this is the saddest day of my life since I became prime minister. Could you not have allowed us to enjoy our Peace for Galilee victory for just a day or two longer? Did you have to bring this to me now?"
And then, eyes as granite as his face, he flared, "Mr. Ambassador, is this it, or do you have anything orally to add?"
"Yes, Mr. Prime Minister, I do," answered Lewis hiding a thick swallow, and he proceeded to read out his talking points, causing the expression on the prime minister's face to mutate from anger to angst and back again.
At one point, when the ambassador read how Washington was consulting simultaneously with Jordan, Egypt and Saudi Arabia on the presidential plan, Begin became so irked that he bit his lip, and said between clenched teeth, "Did I hear you say you were consulting with Saudi Arabia? What on earth does Saudi Arabia have to do with peace with Israel? Are you telling me that your superiors in Washington are involving those anti-Israel, Islamic fanatics in determining our future, our very fate?"
"My instructions state..."
"I hear exactly what your instructions state, Mr. Ambassador. You have told me that Washington has been consulting with everybody but with the government of Israel about a presidential initiative which concerns Israel most of all but about which my government knows least of all."
The ambassador held his tongue. He was handling his emotions with rubber gloves and tongs.
Begin threw him a livid look, and with scathing bitterness said, "Please inform the president that I have read his letter and am most unhappy both with its contents and its implications. I have also listened very carefully to your oral message and am extremely upset by its contents. You may tell the president that I am astonished that his government did not see fit to indicate that such an initiative was in the making, nor consult with the government of Israel at any stage of its elaboration. This is entirely unacceptable. The whole initiative is utterly contrary to all our understandings with your country. Of course, I will consult with my cabinet, and then give you a response. We, being a democracy - unlike those others with whom your government has seen fit to consult - necessitates my being given time before giving a formal answer."
"I understand," said Lewis - he really did - "but I am required to tell you that the president intends to make his plan public within the next 72 hours."
"In that case I ask you to please ask the president, on my behalf, to defer his speech for five or six days so as to enable me to return to Jerusalem and convene the cabinet for a full debate."
"I will certainly report your request, Mr. Prime Minister, but I have no way of knowing if the president can wait that long. He is very sensitive to premature leaks."
With weary dignity and in a voice full of entreaty, Begin said, "Sam, this plan has been thrust upon us. It bears upon our very existence. I think president Reagan owes me at least that much, to give my government time to render a considered response."
"I promise I will do my very best," said the ambassador rising. "And again, forgive me for interrupting your holiday for this purpose."
"So do I, Sam. So do I," muttered a nettled and gritty premier.
THE NEXT evening, Wednesday, the ambassador received a most urgent and highly classified cable from Washington. Upon reading it his left eyebrow rose a fraction, his heart missed a beat, and he muttered an "Oh-my-God" sigh of dismay as he instructed his secretary to connect him to the prime minister in Nahariya: "Good evening Mrs. Begin. Forgive me for disturbing you again. It's Sam Lewis. May I..."
"Hold on. My husband is right here. Menachem, pick up the extension. It's Mr. Lewis."
"Hello, Sam. You have news?"
"I do, Mr. Prime Minister, and I'm afraid it's not as good as I would have wished." Silence. "Mr. Prime Minister, are you there?"
"Oh, yes, Mr. Ambassador, I am here, waiting to hear what you have to tell me." The spike of reproach in his voice was palpable.
"My instructions are to tell you that the president is unable to postpone his public address as you requested."
"Why not?" Begin's bitterness spilled into Lewis's ear.
"Because some of its substance has been leaked and the president has, therefore, decided to deliver his speech this very evening, Washington time."
"This very evening, before my cabinet has an opportunity to deliberate upon it tomorrow morning?"
"I'm, afraid so, Mr. Prime Minister. I'm sorry."
"As well you might be, Mr. Ambassador." Begin's voice suddenly hardened ruthlessly. "You will please convey to the president that I am hurt to the core. And tell him our cabinet will convene tomorrow as planned, and then we shall provide your government with our official response. Good night!"
The response came in the form of a meticulously detailed and comprehensive refutation of every single proposal of the president's plan, alongside a letter, which read in part:
"Dear Ron… In face of the fact that there was no prior consultation the US government adopted the position that the 'West Bank' be reassociated with Jordan. What some call the 'West Bank,' Mr. President, is Judea and Samaria, and this simple historic truth will never change. There are cynics who mock history. I stand by the truth - the truth that millennia ago there was a Jewish kingdom of Judea and Samaria, where our kings knelt to God, where our prophets brought forth the vision of eternal peace, where we developed our rich civilization which we took with us in our hearts and minds on our long global trek for over 18 centuries and, with it, we came back home...
"Geography and history have determined that Judea and Samaria are mountainous country; two-thirds of our population lives in the Coastal Plain below. From those mountains you can hit every city, every town, each township and village, not to speak of our principal airport in the plain below. We used to live penned up into eight miles from the seashore and now, Mr. President, you suggest that we return to almost that same situation. Under no circumstances shall we accept such a possibility ever arising; it would endanger our very existence.
"Mr. President, you and I chose to call our countries 'friends and allies.' Such being the case, a friend does not weaken his friend, and an ally does not put his ally in jeopardy. This would be the inevitable consequence were the 'positions' transmitted to me on August 31, 1982 by Ambassador Lewis to become reality. They won't.
"L'ma'an Zion lo echeshe, u'l'ma'an Yerushalayim lo eshkot - For Zion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest' (Isaiah, chapter 62).
"Yours respectfully and sincerely, Menachem."
The writer was on the personal staff of five prime ministers, including Menachem Begin.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas- Kevin Gonzalez drove in a career high five runs and Luke Anders homered twice to lead sixth-ranked Texas A&M to a 15-0 shutout of No. 4 Missouri Saturday afternoon before 5,478 fans at Olsen Field.
The Aggies (36-7, 17-3) set a new Big 12 record with their 14th consecutive league victory, and posted their largest shutout win in a conference game in 34 years. The Tigers suffered their third straight loss, falling to 29-13 and 9-8.
"When you look at the scoreboard and see one 'zero' up there, that's a pretty good offensive day," A&M coach Rob Childress said. "Really everyone, up and down the lineup, had a good day. On the other side of the coin I thought we pitched and played great defense. We tossed a shutout and had no errors on the board. We probably couldn't have played a more complete game. These guys have a lot of fun together and they love to play together, and you could see that today."
A&M pounced on Mizzou starter Kyle Gibson (6-1) for seven runs over the first five innings, tagging the sophomore with his first loss of 2008.
Anders got the scoring started in the second, leading off the frame by lining his 10th home run of the year over the fence in right.
Dane Carter's seventh round-tripper of the year, a two-out, two-run shot to left center in the third, gave the Aggies a 3-0 lead.
Anders added another leadoff long ball in the fourth, launching one just inside the foul pole down the left field line.
In the fifth inning, RBI singles by Blake Stouffer and Jose Duran and a sacrifice fly by Darby Brown pushed the lead to 7-0.
Gonzalez drove in his first run of the day off reliever Ryan Gargano in the sixth, as the redshirt freshman laced a double to the right center field gap to score Brodie Greene with the Aggies' eighth run of the afternoon.
In the seventh, Gonzalez added a bases-clearing, three-run double to left center to push the lead to 11. Two outs and a hit batter later, Duran singled in Gonzalez, making the score 12-0.
Pinch hitter Caleb Shofner smashed the first pitch he saw leading off the eighth over the fence in left for his first career home run. The Aggies would tack on two more in the frame.
Gonzalez's three hits and five RBI were both career highs and led the A&M attack. Greene went 3-for-5 on the afternoon and scored a team-high three runs. Three other Aggies—Carter, Duran and Anders—each posted two hits and drove in two runs.
Mizzou's three hits came in the third, fifth and seventh innings, and the Tigers saw just two runners reach second base.
Barret Loux (4-1) had his third straight strong start for Texas A&M, cruising through six shutout innings while allowing a pair of hits and two walks while striking out five. Kirkland Rivers and Evan Gerald combined for three innings of one-hit relief.
"Barret Loux was outstanding today," Childress said. "That's three starts in a row that you couldn't ask more from any pitcher in the country. Also, Kirkland and Evan did a good job coming in and throwing strikes and getting outs."
Gibson suffered the loss, allowing seven hits and seven runs while walking two and striking out six over five innings.
The series concludes Sunday at 1 p.m. and the game will be televised nationally by FOX Sports Net. The Aggies will send sophomore Clayton Ehlert (5-2, 3.21 ERA) to the mound, while Missouri is scheduled to counter with junior lefty Rick Zagone (1-2, 6.62). The game will also air locally on WTAW-AM 1620, and tickets are available at the gate or online at aggieathletics.com.
"Winning 14 in a row is great but, you know, we still haven't done anything yet," Childress said. "We want to finish this thing off the right way. (The win streak) just means we've been pretty consistent and when we've made mistakes we've been able to overcome them offensively. We will face another tough test tomorrow against a very good team, and we have to be ready for that challenge."
Kids 12 and under can receive free admission with a paid adult through the "Take Me Out to the Ballgame" promotion. There is a limit of four kids per adult and all seats are general admission. In addition, all kids in attendance will be able to run the bases following the game. The Prostate Cancer Awareness Weekend silent auction will also wrap up on Sunday.
• Texas A&M set a new Big 12 record with its 14th consecutive conference victory…A&M bested the record for league wins in a row, set by Nebraska in 2000…the Aggies have not lost a Big 12 game since March 23 at Oklahoma State.
• Blake Stouffer extended his hit streak to a career-high 19 games.
• Jose Duran extended his hit streak to a season (and career) best 13 games…Duran has hit safely in 19 of A&M's 20 Big 12 games, and has posted multi-hit games in 15 of the 20 league games.
• Dane Carter has now reached safely (hit or walk) in 42 of A&M's 43 games in 2008, and hit safely in 38 of those.
• The 15-0 win was Texas A&M's 10th shutout all-time in Big 12 Conference play, and the first since an 8-0 win over Kansas State on May 15, 2004…it also marked the most runs the Aggies have scored in a Big 12 shutout victory.
• The 15-run margin of victory tied a school record in a Big 12 game, matching A&M's 19-4 win over Iowa State on April 5, 1997 at Olsen Field…it was the largest margin of victory in a conference game since the Aggies defeated Texas, 25-6, on April 30, 1995 in Austin in a Southwest Conference matchup.

Read an Excerpt
It must have been a bit hard to believe when Rills' work was all still there: the quarter-mile of chimes, the strange, majestic towers. Today, there is not a trace of any of it. In fact, the wharves, the shipyard, all the old buildings, the very ground they stood on are gone, claimed by the sea. Now, standing on the sunny heights, looking down at the outboards--white toys dotting the emerald meandering of the Pamet--now, with the town hall chimes cascading their Westminster melody lazily over the peaceful valley, John Rills's bells seem nothing but a half-remembered dream.
"Ol' John," as Rills was often called (even when young) Ol' John simply appeared one morning in Truro, why or where from no one ever knew. That was in 1831. He knocked together a shack out of driftwood, bought a team of oxen, and began to hunt, find, and haul wood with such demonic energy and to such uncertain purpose, that he was thought to be addled--moon-struck probably, since he had been heard working on his shack at odd hours of the night. It soon became clear that next year the tons of it he stacked near Corn Hill would be the only good supply from Chathamsport to Provincetown. It was supposed that he meant to hold back, raise prices and profiteer. But what people supposed about John Rills had a way of turning out wrong.
Had anyone paid close attention to his shrewd handling of the firewood affair, his later activities would not have seemed so demented, but, after all, why should anyone think carefully about a man who had to be fined and threatened into building a privy? Ol' John was eccentric all right; it was commonly believed that he used the great outdoors as his outhouse, and it wasalso said that, having complied with the law by building a privy, he had to be fined again when it was discovered that he had not dug a pit beneath his token toilet.
Within a few months, and mostly by himself, he had built a rugged windmill (not at all a make-do affair like his hut). He hired Shebnah Simms, a one-time salt maker, two other hands, and, using the windmill to pump sea water, began to burn his acres of firewood to get salt from the sea. Visitors to the new operation always found Simms's skinny little ten-year-old daughter, Ellie, ready to shout that her father would boil 'em like lobsters if they got too close, and that the boiling pans were the biggest in the world. They looked it.
Rills's old-fashioned salt works was certainly the most efficient on Cape Cod. He made far more money than he could have done by merely selling wood, and while people accused him of taking the little remaining timber from lands thought to be for public use, they had no choice: they needed salt to preserve their fish, so they waited in line, they watched little Ellie whooping and running, and they bought their salt from "the Salt King," John Rills.
Since he attended no church, Rills soon began to have trouble with Owen H. Antrim, deacon of a local congregation. Though few suspected it, the desperately ambitious Antrim craved to be minister of that congregation. Had anyone investigated his one-time connections with a church in Boston, they would have found that the Reverend Sylvester Graham, inventor of the new graham flour, had thrown the man out of the "Grahamites" because of Antrim's public accusations that eating graham crackers would send a person into convulsions.
Antrim strongly disliked his present minister too, a man who never let important religious convictions interfere with his disposition to make kindly and forgiving decisions about everything. A weakling, in Antrim's view.
The minister's considerate nature caused him to indulge Deacon Antrim in an occasional pre-service announcement which ususally turned out to be a thinly disguised sermon. Few minded, because Antrim usually restrained himself and kept it short. Hearing that Rills had worked on a Sunday, the deacon stood up in church to make an "announcement." He said that it was no surprise to him that those who would defile the face of the land with their night soil would desecrate the holy Sabbath with their filthy work habits, and that such infidels should be whipped and driven from the community. Everyone knew whom he meant.
Everyone knew, and several turned to stare at Antrim's nephew, Master Gorran, age ten. The deacon saw, paused, and sniffed, but in the angry joy at being allowed to preach, he passed over the incident without trying to fathom it. Had he known the meaning of those glances, his icy oratory would have turned into spluttering rage, but he was to have his first encounter with Ol'John in ignorance of the fact that little Justin Gorran, while playing with Ellie Simms, had become a friend and a frequent companion of the Salt King--and more.

For over a century the challenge of immigration has vexed organized labor. In the late nineteenth century, the American Federation of Labor (AFL), led by cigarmaker Samuel Gompers (himself an immigrant from Europe who, in his own words, "secured the honors and duties of citizenship" only in his twenties), entered national politics largely to press for immigration restriction. AFL leaders believed that an influx of immigrant workers could only weaken the bargaining position of American labor. Only over decades, and with great effort, had American workers taught themselves the skills, habits, and discipline necessary to create enduring labor organizations. The AFL worried that a sudden flood of desperate foreign workers from Poland, Italy, and China, with little trade-union background, could easily drown the infant movement. For much of its subsequent history organized labor viewed immigration with alarm.
Many in the chattering classes-whose jobs, at least until recently, were more secure than those of blue-collar workers-have been quick to assume that this fear was based on prejudice. Yet the alarm of American workers has not been without justification. The existence today of a shadow population of 10 or 12 million undocumented workers permanently barred from the rights and obligations of citizenship cannot but complicate workers' efforts to advance their interests. Any increase in the labor supply tends to...

I have wanted a black cook top for some time to match my other appliances. My old coil burner style cook top was failing over the past year or so, so I went ahead with the purchase. I had to do some minor mods to the counter top (trim the corners), but the install was very easy. The installed cook top looks great! The light show with the burners on is fun too.Nice feature to have a "hot burner" light also.I am very happy with my new cook top.

Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Every day this year, I will be examining the artwork on a single comic book story. Today's artist is Chris Burnham, and the issue is Days Missing #2, which was published by Archaia and is cover dated September 2009. Enjoy!
One of the things you notice after you've been looking at art a lot is that so many factors go into it. That might be obvious, but I'm not sure if it is. For years, inkers were able to impose their will on pencils, even detailed pencils, and in recent years, colorists have become much more important to the finished product. One of the problems I have with digital coloring is that it's seemingly easy to layer on colors without thinking about it too much. We've seen this with the advent of coloring studios, some of which are quite good but some of which are somewhat sloppy. Imaginary Friends Studios, which was founded in 2005, did a lot of coloring for a while (I haven't seen the name recently, but it's possible I'm just not buying the right comics), and while they weren't terrible when the artwork "fit" the digital sheen they employed, when the studio was unleashed on someone like Chris Burnham, whose hard and precise lines demand harder and precise colors, the results were not very good. This is why, in the assembly line of comics, when a penciler doesn't ink himself (which Burnham does) or color himself (which Burnham doesn't, at least not yet, as far as I know), it's crucial to get the right inker and colorist. We've seen plenty of examples where the inking and/or coloring wreaks havoc with the pencil art, and Days Missing #2 is just one such example, unfortunately.
I don't know much about the ins and outs of digital coloring (I don't know much about non-digital coloring, to be fair). It's one of those things that people who know what they're doing talk about in jargon, which I don't understand, and I've never had the inclination to do it myself, so I haven't learned. I know that most coloring today is done on computer, but there are different ways to do it. IFS seems to do it, unfortunately, in the easiest way possible. They throw a color scheme over the pencils, over-render it, and move on. Burnham's crisp lines are obliterated by this coloring process, as the people in Panel 1 become blobs of shades and the creepy room in Panel 2 is bludgeoned until all the weirdness is leached out of it. Burnham, I assume, drew the leaves and the vines and the stone in Panel 1 and placed all sorts of odd curios in the room, but IFS simply used soft colors on it all and took away anything that gives Burnham's art an edge. I actually wouldn't mind it if they colored the outdoors that way but made Galton's study creepier by leaving it with the sharp edges. That would require thought, though, and we can't have that! Meanwhile, check out Mary Shelley in Panel 4. Burnham definitely draws women slightly "softer" than men, but her face is so washed out that she barely has any personality. She's asking a deeply philosophical question about the nature of life, but she looks like she's about to cry. Perhaps some of this is Burnham's fault, but the coloring doesn't add any nuance to her face, making her a blank puppet.
Galton wakes up his monster (the idea of the series is a bit convoluted, but suffice it to say that the dude in the background in Panel 1 eventually turns back the clock and wipes out this day, leaving only Mary Shelley with a vague idea of a scientist bringing a dead dude back to life), and we get this sequence. In these panels, we can see Burnham's strong lines coming through a bit, especially in Panel 1 with Galton and his corpse. It's a dramatic scene, and IFS uses digital effects with the lightning in Panels 3 and 4 to good effect – special effects are one of the things digital coloring is good for, when used well. Notice, again, that Burnham's inking lines are washed out a bit in Panel 2, and in Panel 4, the hard wrinkles that Burnham would draw in around the eyes are instead replaced by rendered coloring. It's not bad, and in the case of this panel, it really comes down to personal taste. I think that the coloring works a bit better than if Burnham had used heavy lines, but we still see the black lines in his eyes and some nice hatching in the eyebrows. In this panel, the pencil art and the coloring work well together.
This panel is a good example of the coloring not doing Burnham any favors. As I've noted, Burnham has a slightly cartoony style, which can work with gore quite well (as tomorrow's entry will show). However, digital coloring of this kind tends to want to be "realistic," and if there's one thing Burnham doesn't need, it's "realistic" coloring. The fact that the monster and Galton are colored like their normal selves and IFS doesn't use violent colors like red or orange in any way and the fact that they once again smooth out the hard lines in Burnham's art makes this look silly. It's supposed to be a dramatic moment, but the coloring robs it of that. It's certainly not the best composed page within the context of the story – David Hine, who wrote this, is trying to make a semi-serious point about creations turning on their creators (not that that's a unique point, but it's still a serious one), and Burnham draws this like a B-movie gone wild (which, you could argue, is a tone the script's issue needs, but I'm not here to argue that one way or another), and it's somewhat tonally off from the rest of the issue, but the drawing itself is fine if you divorce it from the rest of the issue. But even so, the coloring is awful. It's too bad.
One thing you can do more easily with digital coloring, of course, is turn things into ghosts, like we see here (yes, it's a dream, but it looks like a ghost). I assume Burnham didn't draw "Frank" any differently, although I suppose he could have, but once IFS got their hands on it, they were able to add the glow and the heavy white folds to the clothing. Burnham knew he was drawing a ghost, so he left the background in, but the coloring helps "Frank's" transparency stand out more. In Panel 3, we see again the bludgeoning of Burnham's lines, so it's not like this is a great example of coloring, but the ghost is pretty cool.
I'm sure Burnham might never say what he thought when he first saw this after it had been colored, and maybe he even liked it! But I wonder what artists think when an inker or colorist butchers their work. What did Colleen Doran think when she saw George Pratt's inks on that issue of Sandman? What did Kirby think when he knew Colletta was going to ink his work? What do pencilers think when they see how some people color their comics? I assume Burnham didn't have any control over the colorist in this issue, but I'd like to think that later employers, at least, realized they needed to pair him with a colorist who could do justice to his work. That would show some foresight, wouldn't it?
Sorry for the rant. Tomorrow I'll check out a comic that delivered on Burnham's promise, and probably got him the Batman gig. Come back and see what's what! In the meantime, I'm sure there's less ranting in the archives!
Yeah that's pretty rough! As we now seem to be within a Golden Age of coloring brilliance, this really stands out as…less than the best of all possible worlds.
But look! Too much purple! Jordie Bellaire will probably love this.
This butchering of an an artists work is a major problem. Whether it be inking or coloring, it can always results in ruining the interpretation of the artist. I have drawn a few comics in my past. I don not ink or color therefore, I am assigned colorists and inkers. Most of the ones working for so little have a huge tendency to butcher my pencils and make it look dull and boring. A colorist (and inker) play a huge part in the story, bigger than most people think. A bad inker can screw up facial expressions and elliminate fluidity in the character. A bad colorist can ruin things like that too, but can be even more harmful then an inker. A good colorist has a sense of knowing atmosphere and can create a feeling of believably to a drawing (cartoonish or photorealistic). A bad colorist can ruin the entire story by screwing around with the environment and atmosphere. I'm not saying that colorist or inkers shouldn't apply their own style to the pencils, but their style should serve the story and not cripple it.
dave: Man, tell us how you really feel about Bellaire!
Nathan: I definitely agree with you, and it's something I've begun noticing a lot more in the past 5-10 years or so, since I started writing about comics more. It's very unfortunate, and it would be really nice if editors would think more about the inking and coloring choices they make when they pair them up with a penciler. When they're all working in harmony, the art is amazing. But things aren't always in harmony, and that's why you get stuff like this, unfortunately. When I move to the next artist, during one of the days I write almost exclusively about the poor choice of colorist matched to the artist. But that's in a few days!
Ha ha for the record I am overjoyed to see Bellaire's credit on any book. Her work in ZERO and MAGNETO particularly add tremendously to the mood and tone of those books.
I was simply referring to her Sunday Interview at CBR a week or two back where she ruminates impressively on the color purple, and how it's rather undervalued among her peers. Kinda cracked me up.
dave: Oh, I see. I didn't see that interview. That's pretty funny – I would imagine that, yes, she would appreciate the purple!
That's too bad that the colorist's name wasn't posted – then we could avoid that particular colorist's work everywhere else!
Poor Burnham, to work so hard on a book, only to see it vilified by inconsiderate coloring.
tom: Well, it's a studio, so maybe not one person worked on it?
Mr. Burgas, that's even worse. Haven't they heard about the saying, "Too many cooks spoils the broth"?

Breaking: Obama EPA to act on global warming emissions from new coal plants
Based on a letter received from EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson, the Sierra Club explains the biggest climate action news of the day:
President Obama's Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) today took the first step toward regulating carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants. EPA, under the new leadership of Administrator Lisa Jackson, granted a petition from the Sierra Club and other groups calling for reconsideration of an unlawful, midnight memo issued by former EPA Administrator Stephen Johnson which sought to prohibit controls on global warming pollution from coal plants. EPA announced in a letter to the Sierra Club that it will publish a proposed rulemaking in the Federal Register and seek public comments on the decision in the near future.
Today's decision is consistent with a previous ruling by the EPA's Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) in the Bonanza case, which found that there was no valid reason for the Bush administration's refusal to limit carbon dioxide emissions from new coal-fired power plants. The so-called Johnson Memo sought to unlawfully overturn that decision.
For background on the Bonanza case and why it is so important to the critical effort to stop new, dirty coal plants see Breaking News: No new coal plants without "Best Available Control Technology" for CO2 and Coal stocks hit as reality of climate and EPA ruling finally sets in.
Here is the response to Jackson's letter from David Bookbinder, Chief Climate Counsel for the Sierra Club:
Today's victory is yet another indication that change really has come to Washington, and to EPA in particular. This decision stops the Bush Administration's final, last-minute effort to saddle President Obama with its do-nothing policy on global warming.
Not only does today's decision signal a good start for our clean energy future, it also signals a return to policy based on sound science and the rule of law, not deep pocketbooks or politics. Lisa Jackson is making good on her promises to bring science and the rule of law back into the center of the decision making process at EPA.
With coal-fired power plants emitting more than 30 percent of our global warming pollution, regulating their carbon dioxide is essential to making real progress in the fight against global warming.
Holding coal-fired power plants accountable for their global warming emissions was one of the top actions the Sierra Club has been encouraging President Obama to take on global warming as soon as possible as part of the "Clean Slate" agenda. Building on the monumental economic recovery package to be signed today and his administration's quick decision to reconsider the California clean cars waiver, this is one more part of President Obama's vision for building a clean energy economy that will create millions of new green jobs while curbing global warming.
Today's announcement should cast significant further doubt on the approximately 100 coal-fired power plants that the industry is trying to rush through the permitting process without any limits on carbon dioxide. New coal plants were already a bad bet for investors and ratepayers and today's decisions make them an even bigger gamble.
Kudos to Jackson — and to Sierra, NRDC, and EDF for filing the original lawsuit against the Bush administration aimed at overturning the Johnson Memo.
The time to stop new dirty coal plants is now.

5 Responses to Breaking: Obama EPA to act on global warming emissions from new coal plants
Will you be joining Bill McKibben & Wendell Berry to protest the Capital coal-fired power plant on March 2?
Are the dark days of BushCo really over? I'll wait until I see some enforcement, but this is a good start.
Agree with Dano… hopeful — but I read the actual action as:
"granted a petition … calling for reconsideration of a … memo "
Seems like the least possible action. A small step, praiseworthy, now keep going.
"Best available control technology" for controlling post-combustion CO2 emissions is — according to DOE — chemical capture (by amine scrubbing) and sequestration (underground dumping). Neither has any hope of success.
Because of the large volume of N2 ballast (75% is N2) in flue gas, which is hot and dirty, mixing chemicals into it in the hope of contacting the sparse CO2 molecules can't work. Plus there is the problem of the NOx and SOx in flue gas becoming acids which cause heat-stable salts on heat exchange surfaces. Corrosion is another unsolved problem.
As for sequestration, the GAO has stated the clear and convincing case why it should be rejected. Who wants a pressurized poison gas dump underneath where they live?
So what has DOE been doing for the past 8 years to develop realistic BACT for coal plants? Seems like they have deliberately wasted time and money on things they knew would be impractical, so coal plants wouldn't have to spend any money on control technology. How about the new team?
Since all animals, including humans, exhale carbon dixoide with each breath, is the EPA now empowered to regulate our breathing? And since carbon dioxide is required for all plant growth, including all foodstuffs, how can it be classed as a pollutant?

The Broccoli Trade-Off
Thursday, 24 March 2016 18:36
Everywhere, USA, March 2016 — Consumption of broccoli has increased in the United States over the last few decades as scientists have reported that eating the vegetable three to five times per week can lower the risk of many types of cancer including breast, prostate, and colon cancers.
A new study reports that including broccoli in the diet may also protect against
liver cancer
, as well as aid in countering the development of fatty liver or nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) which can cause malfunction of the liver and lead to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a liver cancer with a high mortality rate.
Scientists remind us that the usual story about broccoli and
is that it can protect against a number of different cancers. But until lately, nobody had looked at liver cancer. It was decided a few years back that liver cancer needed to be studied particularly because of the obesity epidemic in the U.S. It is already in the literature that obesity enhances the risk for liver cancer, which is particularly the case for men. They have almost a 5-fold greater risk for liver cancer if they are obese.

Hell is a post-apocalyptic film set in the near future 2016. Solar flares have caused mass overheating of our planet laying waste to the environment. With no way to sustain plant or animal life and with natural water supplies all but gone; people will now do anything to survive.
Visually the movie sells the idea the earth is burnt out and desolate. The acting is good, albeit this american version defaults to an over-dubbed english soundtrack. I suggest watching it with subtitles.
For a film like this simplicity is important. All our characters need to do is survive. There are a few little twists and turns that keep it interesting.
Overall a fan of films like this will be more than entertained. And I'm happy to add this film to my collection.
Executive-produced by Roland Emmerich ("Independence Day" and "2012"), the low-budget post-apocalyptic thriller begins with an interesting premise, but without developing the sci-fi theme, "Hell" quickly shifts into a familiar formula about the travelers and their predicaments in the backwoods. In short, you have seen this in "The Road" or other horror films.
Tim Fehlbaum's direction is slick once action gets started, but details of this catastrophic disaster remain vague at best. The cinematography of the bleak landscape soaked in overflowing light is impressive enough to live up with the film's double-meaning title ("Hell" means in German "bright"), but the effects of the sunshine such as heat and UV exposure are not fully made use of to enhance the film's drama and suspense .
But the real problem of "Hell" is that the characters are not really interesting, including the sisters Marie and Leonie. Why are they travelling alone? Why does she have a CD of Nena's "99 Luftballons"? The film wastes every chance to flesh them out. When the two male characters are less memorable, why should we care? "Zombieland" did it much better.
This is not to say "Hell" is a terrible film, but as a survival thriller or a H.G. Wells-like modern-day fable "Hell" leaves much to be desired, lacking its own voice.
The plot involves three people, then four traveling down the road following the birds toward what may be water. At this point the production reminded me of "The Road" a rather boring scenario waiting for things to happen. They find themselves in a stew as the film becomes "Wrong Turn." They become captured by religious people who "have no livestock" but need to survive. The girls will make good wives.
The movie takes place in a gunless society. It is hard to fathom society has fallen that far in such a short period of time, but I just went with it. Fans of Nina's "99 Luft Balloons" will be happy to know her CD survives the apocalypse which BTW the title I bought this film under. The dual meaning of Hell=Bright doesn't translate and I guess "Bright" wouldn't bring out the horror.
The film doesn't make it as a slasher or horror film. It is a weak sci-fi thriller, perhaps attempting to be too realistic to be entertaining. It leaves itself open for a sequel, although outside of Leonie (Lisa Vicari) who reminded me of a young Jennifer Lawrence, I didn't relate to them.
PARENTAL GUIDE: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Attempted sex/rape. Hannah Herzsprung briefly running around in panties. "R" rating? Seriously?
I like post-Apocalyptic scenario films, but I have mixed reactions to HELL. Solar flares have turned the Earth into a parched wasteland devoid of crops or vegetation or trees-- think the Arizona/Nevada desert. To convey this, the entire film is shot in an over-exposed, bleached out sepia tone. Initially it's compelling, but for feature film it eventually becomes annoying to the eye to watch.
This has all the usual newbie-director, unknown-cast, low-budget drawbacks. Characters are cardboard, and devoid of any individuality-- we don't care about them, or their fates, so the film becomes just another pseudo-video-game with avatar characters and no controller. They blunder into the usual, now-predictable situations on the road. The females are trapped by what a young German director must think the Amish are like. Extended sequences feel like a captive-snuff-film in the making.
Acting is nonexistent, and the script leaves no scope for any acting anyway. HELL combines the basic concept of CARRIERS--twentysomethings in a vehicle driving toward an illusory sanctuary--with the despairing bleakness of THE ROAD. But without the cast or acting chops of either.
I wouldn't spend money to own this--honestly. If you want to give it a try, see it on Amazon Streaming for free.
This is not one I'l be adding to my collection. I give it 3 stars instead of 2 stars because it does have a few moments, and because some people really, really can't get enough of 'Bleak'. But personally, I would re-watch CARRIERS again instead of HELL.
Hope this is helpful. Happy viewing, everybody.

I've been playing with the OpenWRT Attitude Adjustment trunk on my TL-MR3020 lately, and since I'm modifying some of the included packages that get installed via feeds, I need to reflash the firmware a lot. And the problem here is that it's very time consuming. I'd like to optimize this process as much as possible, and the first optimization I can come up with is precluding any need for network reconfiguration after reflashing.
Currently, after I use
mtd to reflash my firmware, I have to log in via the serial console and modify
/etc/config/network to put the router on the right subnet, and to specify the gateway and dns. It sure would make a lot of sense if I could have this happen automatically every time.
I'm very new to Linux, so my first thought was to have a shell script run that edits
/etc/config/wireless/ and then does a
/etc/init.d/network restart to bring up the network interface(s). Then I thought that there must be a command-line equivalent to setting the gateway and dns, and then I could follow those commands up with
/etc/init.d/network restart.
How would you all approach this problem? Am I on the right track?
