WellCare's Chief Executive, 2 Other Top Officials Resign
Three top executives of WellCare Health Plans Inc. WCG 0.74 % stepped down late Friday, including Chairman and Chief Executive Todd Farha, and the company for the first time disclosed details of the three-month-old federal investigation into its operations.
The company said it believes the inquiry centers primarily on its Florida behavioral-health operations and on "the inter-company relationships between the company's various health plans and other wholly-owned subsidiaries." WellCare added that it hasn't been told the full scope of the inquiry.
Mr. Farha's duties have been assumed by two men, the company said. Former UnitedHealth Group Inc. and Oxford Health Plans Inc. executive Charles G. Berg is now the executive chairman, a new position, and WellCare adviser and former marketing executive Heath Schiesser was named CEO.
Chief Financial Officer Paul Behrens and General Counsel Thaddeus Bereday also stepped down, and the company is seeking replacements, WellCare said.
Attorneys for Messrs. Behrens and Bereday couldn't be reached for comment. A spokesman for Mr. Farha said he wasn't available to comment.
WellCare, which runs Medicare and Medicaid managed-care plans covering 2.3 million people, was raided on Oct. 24 by more than 200 federal and state agents. The Wall Street Journal reported in November that the inquiry centers at least in part on allegations that the Tampa, Fla., company inflated the amount it spent on mental-health care in order to keep money it should have refunded to Florida's Medicaid program. Among other questions, authorities are probing whether reinsurance arrangements with a Cayman Islands subsidiary allowed the company to misrepresent outlays for care.
The company has said it is cooperating with the probe, which is being led by the U.S. Attorney's office in Tampa, and that its board has received a preliminary report on an internal inquiry.
The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday that Messrs. Farha, Behrens and Bereday were in talks with the board over their departures.
A person familiar with the talks said they were unrelated to any settlement negotiations.

Pass It On Lyrics
Ladies and Gentlemen, we've have the Everlast in the house tonight
I think they got something they want to say
I'm here to uplift, I don't bug, I don't drift
Away from my subjects, not even if my
Music stops or my beat is gone
I'm just here to express myself and pass it on
Speak much words of wisdom, Everlast has to jism
So sit back, relax, kick up your feet and listen to E
'Cause that's me no others can be, half as fine
I'll blow your mind, with the M I C
Get off the tip quick, boy you're making me sick
No other brother could be as smart as my man Kool Nick
Understand, he's my man with the plan
We come to parties with the possies, just to gain some fans
The posse is strong, the lines are long
People flocking to my shows just to hear a song like this
It's not a diss, it's a mouth full of bliss
Throw your hands in the air and blow me a kiss from the crowd
'Cause I'm proud, I'll say my name loud
Everlast pounds songs like a thunderin' cloud
It's not rock and roll, it's hip hop music
It's got a lot of soul if you learn how to use it
Well, I'm here to tell suckers, go to hell
Others tried to take me down, there the ones who fell
Ignorence, was then there for
Take it a little at a time, don't go for it all at once
'Cause that's just stupid, it don't make cents
Just relax and move your body don't look so tense
I'm not here to diss nobody, I'm just having some fun
Everlast lasts forever that's why I'm number one so pass it on
With the forty in my fist, brakin' out my list
Of all the suckers I'm out to diss
There's none to match me, or ever catch me
Off my guard so they can scratch me
Off the MC All-Star Team
Everlast is number one, that means I reign supreme
'Cause there ain't no others, listen up brother
Just 'cause I'm white don't mean that I'm another sucker
On the microphone, frontin' and fakin'
Not Mexican, Asian, Black, or Jamaican
Just a sensation made to be Caucasian
Get ready brothers, here comes an invasion
Don't try to stop it, you got a rhyme, drop it
You might detect that respects my topic
I won't rush you, but I'll discuss it
Go ahead and pop your shot if you think you can bust it
Bit I'ma go on, I'm gonna talk some more
I guarantee you won't be bored if you get on the floor
And go for yours, say that you did it
Get up get out your seats get on the floor and get with it
And listen to the rhyme I like to call mine
I rehearsed every verse and soon you will find
Not one mistake so don't try to brake
Or talk about takin' out my dope rhymes I make just pass 'em on
You're going wild for my flowing style
I don't stutter, I utter words, versatile
I'm entertaining with my brain, and always wearing a smile
I don't front, I don't fake, I run the whole mile
You clap 'cause I snap like a Crocodile
Whether I'm on the stage or in my domicile
I'm not feelin', I'ma smokin' tell you I'm no joke
You schemin' for my lyrics 'cause you know they're dope
Don't give me no no more wap, pour me glass of Rosae
I say soul to your health, and then I blow you away
Now said Simon on the Pieman, just rhymin' from my highway
The ones on the ladder, success I'm climbin'
Fierce like a lion, keepin' ducks tame
Murderin' into bits of MC's till none remain
Whose getting dumb, I'm number one shinin' like the sun
With a mic and my host and I'm on the run
Gunnin' down M.C.s and writin' on the wall
I gotta show down if you got the balls
Commence is my defense 'cause you makin' me tense
I make a lot a dollars but I make more cents so pass it on
Pass it on, pass it down the line
I can throw with the best, I go rhyme for rhyme
With that something claimin' talent
Thinkin' they got something
But what you don't realize is Everlast is number one
'Cause Everlast is on a superior level
Go ahead and laugh, call me a devil
I won't care, yeah, my skin is fair
But I fill it rhyme for rhyme anytime or where with you
Or any part of your crew and when I finish, you'll diminish
Take a sip of my brew and step off
Clear my throat with a cough and bust a move
To show 'em prove that I'm hard not soft
And with my DJ Bilal my beat will be furnish
You'll find with my rhyme your mind will be nourished
With wisdom and knowledge, yeah, I went to college
And if you get dissed, I won't apologize
'Cause that's not part of my rise, and I go on and on I go to any length
Just to show you when I throw my rhymes on the strength
I like to see the crowd moving when I come on
I'm trying to get my message across and pass it on

Easy Rider

Critic Reviews

- By date
Fonda and Hopper's now-classic film hit the old guard with the force of a rifle shot to the head. [Review of re-release]
Someday it was inevitable that a great film would come along, utilizing the motorcycle genre, the same way the great Westerns suddenly made everyone realize they were a legitimate American art form, Easy Rider is the picture.
A finely observed film but insufficiently developed as a satire of middle America. [Review of re-release]
Fonda himself has given this a fine production dress, with associate Bert Schneider, and the brilliant lensing, excellent music background ballads, especially Bob Dylan's "Easy Rider," are fine counterpoints to this poetic trip along Southwest America.
The film may be a relic now, but it is a fascinating souvenir - particularly in its narcissism and fatalism - of how the hippie movement thought of itself. [Review of re-release]
With the exception of Nicholson, its good things are familiar things - the rock score, the lovely, sometimes impressionistic photography by Laszlo Kovacs, the faces of small-town America.

Aug 31, 2015Bottom line: Easy Rider is a powerful movie that captures the American attitude and spirit in the late 1960's.
The premise of Easy Rider isBottom line: Easy Rider is a powerful movie that captures the American attitude and spirit in the late 1960's.
The premise of Easy Rider is rather quite basic; two friends, Wyatt (Fonda) and Billy (Hopper), ride their motorcycles from LA to Louisiana for Mardi Gras. Their drug fueled journey becomes a spiritual journey as the pair learns about themselves and America. The movie opens with the pair of guys parking cheap motorcycles outside a run down cantina. They are there to meet a cocaine dealer. The pair sample and approve of the powder. The camera cuts to the pair waiting near an airport runway. A Rolls-Royce rolls up and a well dressed man steps out. He, too, samples and approves of the powder before buying it for a large sum of money. The pair has made a fortune and plans to spend the money on a trip to Mardi Gras. They buy new motorcycles and set off into the desert roads.
The acting in Easy Rider is solid. Dennis Hopper's performance as Billy is great. Initially, I labeled his character as "hippy": he has long hair and a bushy mustache and uses "man" as punctuation. At one point the two pick up a hitchhiker who is traveling back to a commune in the middle of the desert. The hitchhiker made me realize that there is a complexity to the characters that I missed. Billy is a hippy-like character in appearance but his temper and focus on worldly pleasures differentiate him from the others. Wyatt is a "cool" or relaxed type of guy and is the one that really grows through the journey. Unlike Billy or George or the hitchhiker, Wyatt is not a representative of a 1960's demographic. As George (Nicholson) explains, "You are change and people don't like change."
As Easy Rider is something of a road trip movie, a common artifact is the super long, scenery shots. Denisoff and Romanowski note, the music played during these riding montages, forms a sort of "musical commentary". The soundtrack, beginning with "The Pusher" by Steppenwolf, continues with the iconic "Born to be Wild" also by Steppenwolf. You can see the progression of the story and tone throughout the rest of the soundtrack. Easy Rider is a perfect example of how music can be utilized to complement the images on the screen. Sure, we might have a great orchestration that provides emotional support but, here, the music provides a political (as well as emotional) support.
Have you ever watched a movie where a particular scene is burned into your memory? Maybe it strikes a chord with you but as you see the shot you know that it is going to stick with you. I'd bet that it usually happens with scary movies. Easy Rider had one of those moments for me. Wyatt rolls the money they earned by selling cocaine into a rubber tube. He hides that rubber tube in his motorcycle's American flag painted, teardrop gas tank. It is a beautifully succinct yet complex statement about the US. One of the best parts is that the movie lets the image speak for itself.
The cutting used at times in the movie is jarring. Instead of a Star Wars-like swipe cut or a fade to black transition, the movie alternates between the two scenes. It is the type of cutting you might expect in an action movie. A character has a gun and points it at his or her target. The camera focuses on the gun, then the target, then the gun, 'bang,' then on the target. This rapid cutting is exciting so we are used to seeing it in an action but in Easy Rider the transitions between scenes aren't exciting. One jump, for example, takes us from the pair sitting around a campfire to Wyatt walking through a dilapidated Church. It felt jarring and don't quite know how to feel about it. I like the idea of using film techniques in unconventional ways but it feels awkward. Yeah, I can dig it. The idea that it is disruptive fits in with the rest of the movie which is socially disruptive.
My only major qualm about the movie is that sometimes it moves away from visual messages to just sitting around a campfire telling us something. Consider the image of the gas tank and money. I know you can show some good stuff, movie, keep going; don't just regress into telling me something. This isn't a deal breaker by any means but it is noteworthy.
If, for no other reason, to function as a time capsule, I recommend you see Easy Rider. It is clear depiction of a definitive time in American history. It also illustrates how film can resonate socially and politically. I think for a discussion post I will think about the responsibility of art, if there is such a thing. On a superficial level, or if you saw Easy Rider without actually watching it, it might appear like this film is glorifying a wayward and drug filled lifestyle. From what I hear, that's the message a majority of the original audience left with. In reality, Easy Rider is criticizing this lifestyle. If people misinterpreted its meaning, should it have been more overt?… Full Review »

Skip to comments.Kerry's Economic Remedy Won't Be Revealed Before Election
Posted on 07/30/2004 6:26:12 PM PDT by kattracks
(CNSNews.com) - A top economic advisor to Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry said the public won't hear Kerry's financial plans until after he's elected - if he's elected.
In the Aug. 2 cover story of "Business Week," former Clinton administration treasury secretary Robert Rubin said, "I don't think you can make proposals to try to dig out of this hole until you've gotten elected ... If you start to put out proposals now, they would be vigorously attacked and they would in effect become tainted so they couldn't be used."
The conservative group Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) stated that Kerry is trying to avoid revealing his plan to increase taxes on the middle-class because it would create a campaign liability if he did.
In a release, the group stated that Kerry's plan to roll back President Bush's tax cuts for the top earners "will yield him only $40 to $60 billion per year, far below the more than $200 billion of new spending commitments he has promised to special interests who feed off of American taxpayers."
"In other words," ATR stated, "if Kerry is elected, middle-class tax increases are coming."
Dan Clifton, chief economist for ATR, said the Kerry strategy relies on deception. "The idea is just say, 'Only the rich are going to get taxed,' [and] run out the clock on the campaign. Once they get in, they'll develop a crisis and say 'we've got to raise taxes on everybody.'"
If, as a presidential candidate, "you have something up your sleeve, you should let us know," Clifton said. Rubin's comments, furthermore, "made it very clear that they (the Kerry campaign) have something up their sleeve."
According to Clifton, Kerry's plan could include raising the gasoline tax which the Democrat has proposed in the past, raising the tax rates on the top one, two or three tax brackets, raising the capital gains tax and more.
"There are a number of things that they can do once they get in," Clifton said. "They're just not giving an indication to any of us what they're doing."
Clifton said Kerry's campaign promise not to raise taxes on the middle-class echoes the promises former president Bill Clinton made in his first Democratic National Convention speech as a presidential hopeful in 1992..
Clinton promised that "the wealthy" would be asked to pay their "fair share" and the taxes on middle-class families would not increase, but "Clinton and Kerry imposed the largest tax increase on middle class families," ATR stated.
The group pointed out that Kerry voted in favor of Clinton's tax increases while he served in the U.S. Senate.
Repeated calls to the Kerry campaign office seeking comment for this article were not answered.
If Kerry won't tell us now what his plans are then Bush should try and get it out of him during the debates. If Bush can get Kerry to admit that he plans to raise taxes on middle class as well the "over $30,000" group then Kerry can be legitimately labeled as a "tax and spend" democrat and thereby torpedo his presidential dreams.
al Kerry's economic plan:
1. Repeal all of GW's tax plan.
2. Tax the hell out any family making $100,000 per year.
3. Double the SS withholding of anyone making $50,000 and over per year to eliminate any SS withholding from those who make less than $50,000. The rats call it payroll taxe reduction.
4. As per Je$$e HiJack$on's wet dream impose a 10% tax on all Iras, 401ks, Keoughs and other retirement savings plan.
Je$$e's leeches and other perverted groups of the Lunatic Left will get most of this to pay for their votes in 2004.
5. Pull our troops out of Iraq, Afghanistan and other areas and slash the military spending to Jimmy Carter levels.
6. Fire Greenspan and let the interest rate copy Carter's.
If I posted # 7, 8, 9 and 10 everyone would become really depressed.
Yea, lets just vote him into office and take a "wait and see" approach.
I know it's a little much to ask, but let's apply some logic to this statement.
What would be the purpose in voting for Kerry, if one does not know what he proposes to do if elected?
In the Aug. 2 cover story of "Business Week," former Clinton administration treasury secretary Robert Rubin said, "I don't think you can make proposals to try to dig out of this hole until you've gotten elected ... If you start to put out proposals now, they would be vigorously attacked and they would in effect become tainted so they couldn't be used."
WOW --- Now THIS is a great new campaign strategy that fits in GREAT with sKerry's record!
'We can't put out any proposals because if we did we wouldn't be able to use them because people would discover how dumb they are. We'll just have to not put out any proposals at all so we can get elected and then we'll start with a clean slate!
All week, I've been looking for solid proposals from the Demodogs as solutions to the "problems" they claim we have. Rubin just revealed exactly why NONE was proposed.
They really think the American electorate will fall for this?
Orwellian --- this campaign is so Orwellian that I am going to have to reread 1984.
That's a bunch of BS. Bush announced his economic plan during the campaign, won the election, and implemented it just fine.
God forbid that Robert Rubin should have to debate a policy before it is implemented. Just impose it on the peons for their own good.
What a disgusting elitist jerk.
Yup. If Rubin doesn't get fried, and the sKerry campaign dirtied by association, for the call he made on behalf of ENRON in an attempt to keep their stock pumped up, I'll be real surprised. Nader will blast this guy's association with sKerry. I know several libs here who are really on the edge of whether to vote sKerry or not, and this will truly put them over the edge.
If sKerry starts losing a fair number of these marginal voters to Nader, that could really snowball and the leftists who really wanted Dean could start flocking over to him. Internationalist elitist Rubin does NOT help sKerry with his association in that campaign. Wide dissemination that he is the leading economic head for sKerry could really start blowing it away, and Business Week is wide dissemination.
To: prairiebreeze
Well, isn't that convenient.
He's refused to hear White House press briefings because he's got his OWN
intelligence sources. I think we should know who they are.
And now he has an economic plan but won't tell us until after the election?
I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my entire life.

I like your interpretation --- good sound bytes, Peach.
So, the rocket scientists at Kerry Campaign Headquarters are okay with the defining of Kerry's policy as "I'm going to raise your taxes, and I'm not Bush!"
Ooookay, fine by me.
This has to get a replay!
Thanks, AFPhys. I hope you and your daughter are doing well.
Only a rat would buy a pig in a poke.
You forgot the items which EXEMPT from any significant taxes nearly all of the assets of the EXTREMELY WEALTHY such as Terrayzza and Soros due to the use of their tax dodge foundations and other cute tricks - those tricks that you really need many millions of dollars to employ. sKerry is certainly not going to do anything to discontinue those.
5 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires
The media, if it was legitimate, would hammer on this question fo rthe next three months.
Candidates can not be allowed to be this brazen about riding into office behind a cloud of deception.
She's doing very well. She just got back from "choir camp" where she played Esther, one of the leads, in a musical they put together "Malice in the Palace". Very cute, and not only she, but all of the children, swelled my heart with pride so much that it squeezed water out of my eyes for most of the performance.
I'll be corresponding further about things to interested parties soon.
Precisely! This is Kerrynomics for a "compassionate" 21st century America of "values." Kerry pretends he can reduce the deficit and increase government spending at the same time. As far as the Demon-rats are concerned, the paycheck-to-paycheck middle class are "the wealthy" and must have their backs and their spirits beaten into submission. Why don't they just come out of the closet as full-fledged progressives and socialists, and throw in reparations for slavery to spice things up a notch?! Socialism is the equal distribution of POVERTY, and postmodern liberalism, the equal distribution of IGNORANCE, intellectual dishonesty and moral bankruptcy. We must then realize and accept that "some animals are more equal than others."
I'm glad she's doing so well. That play sounds adorable - just the title!
I LOVE that picture! LOL!
Kerry's platform can be found at this link:
Sorry. Looks like I should have went to Snopes first.
While Kerry and his pals may dream of communism (under a more "nuanced" name, of course) I think they'll be happy just bringing us down to the level of France. Hello permanent double-digit unemployment.
I think that more "nuanced" name being that "Third Way" cr*p, yet again or something similar.
Thanks for the post!!!!:-)
Best FReegards, D2
Thank you. I am so sick of Rubin being treated like a god by the media. Besides his ethics outrages, his big brilliant idea was raise taxes to cut deficits to make interest rates go down to bring prosperity. It didn't happen that way and it never will, no matter how many economically illiterate journalism majors at the major media say it.
After the convention I wouldn't be surprised if their name for communism is just "capitalism".
Vietnamization was underway LONG before Nixon was elected; some of us wanted to scale it back, slow it down, in 1968.
I had a plan before I didn't have a plan but I'll only tell you about it after 51% of you, including Florida, which was stolen from what's's name, vote for me.
Could be, nothing that lefty freak show does surprises me.
Freegards, D2
Thats it. This candidacy is OFFICIALLY doomed.
Throughout Edwards speech, we all wondered how he hoped to achieve his goals... no mention was made, either by him or Kerry. Not once did either mention how to attain or achieve their stated goals! Only promises to unite the "two Americas". Huh?! I really thought we were all one, but I guess only multi-millionheirises like Kerry and his protoge believe us little people are separate entities....
Most secret campaign in history!
He knows exactly what he wants to do (raise taxes on everyone except ketchup heiresses, their husbands and trial lawyers); he just hasn't figured out how to break the news to those that don't live in Jean-John's Amerika.
LOLOLOL! Good pic!
In the Aug. 2 cover story of "Business Week," former Clinton administration treasury secretary Robert Rubin said, "I don't think you can make proposals to try to dig out of this hole until you've gotten elected ... If you start to put out proposals now, they would be vigorously attacked and they would in effect become tainted so they couldn't be used."
Well, HE** yeah. Increasing taxes for ALL Americans can't help you win votes, can it ?? Doh !!
If I only had a brain!
"I guess I'd like to know where your info came from. My understanding was that they owned stock, not actual factories. I'd be interested to know if these factories are Heinz factories or some other kind."
So if they own stock in companies that are American OWNED that deliberately send buisness overseas, doesn't that make them just as guilty of approving such measures? In other words, by owning even a 2% share of these companies they are condoning the loss of American Jobs to foreign companies. Sounds pretty hypocritical to me. But what do you expect from a demonrat.
No Kidding? Whoada thunkit!
He does, but it would then be a 'Mondale Moment'; "Of Course I'm Going To Raise Your Taxes".
IMHO I believe he darn well knows what he wants and/or will do. But then he'd go down in flames and it'd be a Dubya landslide.
I believe Kerry will offer tax cuts for the middle class but it will be after President Bush's tax relief expires then Kerry will offer a lesser tax reduction."Rider on other's success".
Hmmm, that sounds familiar ---- why??? Wait, I think I have it!
Mary Beth Cahill said the exact same thing during the RAT primaries. "Yes he has a plan but we aren't going to tell you what it is because then you could use it against him." (pretty close quote)
BTW, do you notice how Kerry has "a plan" for everything but refuses to say what those grand plans are.
Yep, that'll get votes --- NOT!
yeah THAT's a good plan......
next he will propose to pass reparations for all blacks and badabing- he will be elected

"Hristos Voskrese" (Christ has risen) will this year be said on April 19th. Easter is the most celebrated date in Serbian Orthodox calendar.
Palm Sunday or Vrbica, is the last Sunday before Easter when willow branches (vrbica=Vur-BEET-sa) are carried or worn as wreaths by little children, who hang little bells with Serbian red, blue and white ribbons around their necks and parade around the church.
There are many Easter customs, the main ones are to go to church at midnight and bring coloured eggs, which were dyed on Good Friday usually in red or in onion skin giving it brownish colour (although recently many started using different colours and colourful stickers). The first red coloured egg is called "ČUVARKUĆA" which means "a housekeeper" and it is kept in the house until the next Easter. Just be careful not to crack the egg – or you could be surprised by the odour. Easter fasting ends on Easter Sunday by cracking eggs and eating them. The one who doesn't have his egg cracked when they are knocked one against the another, is a winner! There is even an egg-knocking world championship in a small place in northern Serbia!

Hi there, well, finally I decided to start learning how to create custom themes, and I think I'm doing great, however I'm stuck with something, I created a template page with the name of homepage.php, the idea is to have this page as front page when it's template is selected to a "home" page, so, I added the template tag by placing:
<?php /* Template Name: Homepage */ ?>
At the very top, then, created the page "home" on WP and assigned that template, finally, on Settings -> Reading and selecting "A Static Page" and then choosing the page Home, the thing is, is not working, in the home page I'm having this text: Not Found - Not Found - Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.
So I don't know what's going on, the rest of the pages using the regular and by default template are working fine, but not this one, actually, it calls the footer and the header pefectly, but is not working with the content area, my content area on that page is:

<?php the_title(); ?>

<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>

<?php the_content(); ?>

So, not really sure what I'm doing wrong, any idea guys?
Thanks so much!

Disney to Reboot "The Rocketeer" With Black Female Lead
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading?, our weekly look at all the comics and other stuff we've been checking out lately. Today our special guest is Chris Sims, senior writer for ComicsAlliance, blogger at Chris's Invincible Super Blog and writer of comics like Dracula the Unconquered and Awesome Hospital.
To see what Chris and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below.
As our Caleb has already pointed out, Legendary's Tower Chronicles: GeistHawk is a comic that's a lot better than the warning signs may have previously indicated. One of its real treats is seeing the mature style Simon Bisley has been developing for a few years (since The Dead: Kingdom Of Flies for UK indie Berserker, really) getting a decent-lengthed showcase. Anyone with lingering misconceptions of Bisley's work being the mutant offspring of Frank Frazetta and Bill Sienkiewicz is in for a surprise. It's still unmistakeably Bisley, but the finished art will be just as likely to remind you of Kevin O'Neill or Enki Bilal. Dedicated fansite The Art Of Simon Bisley has a gallery of over 20 pages of pencils from the project, alongside two publicity images/splashes that are both more appealing than Jim Lee's very generic-looking final cover.
Legendary Comics, the relatively new publishing arm of film production company Legendary Pictures, had about as audacious a debut as was possible last fall, with its first offering being Frank Miller's too-controversial-for-DC Batman vs. Al Qaeda comic Holy Terror, the Legendary version scrubbed of DC trademarks just enough that it could be published without risk of a lawsuit.
The company's latest offering isn't quite as controversial … nor is it quite as noteworthy. It is, however, the comics project one might expect from film production company: a sort of focus group-testing, balloon-floating introduction to a character and concept that could potentially be adapted into a major motion picture, something I can't imagine anyone seriously considered doing with Miller's beautifully told, politically wacky comic about an off-brand Batman and Catwoman fighting terrorists.
If the very thought of a comic book series as film R&D turns you off (believe me, I understand!), then it's worth noting that this latest project is edited, like Holy Terror was, by Bob Schreck and created by as solid, experienced and talented a creative team as a comics fan could ask for. It's written by Matt Wagner (yes, Grendel, Mage and Sandman Mystery Theatre's Matt Wagner) and penciled by Simon Bisley (the painter whose interior work you've seen in Slaine and Batman/Judge Dredd), here being inked and colored by Rodney Ramos and Ryan Brown.
Still not sold on The Tower Chronicles: GeistHawk Volume 1 …? Look, I don't blame you.
Publishers, creators, retailers and fans rolled into Chicago this weekend for the Chicago Comics and Entertainment Expo, or C2E2. While the convention officially kicked off Friday, the announcements started rolling out Thursday during the Diamond Retailer Summit. After going through Kiel Phegley's lengthy report on CBR, I've pulled out a few tidbits that publishers shared with attending retailers:
• Dynamite Entertainment shared that the first issue of Garth Ennis and Aaron Campbell's The Shadow, which comes out next week, will likely go to second print. Following their Vampirella and Pantha projects, they also plan to roll out more of the former Harris Publications characters they now own, and they said they plan to work again with Kevin Smith in the future, who they've worked with on Bionic Man and Green Hornet.
• Dark Horse Comics announced two Buffy the Vampire Slayer spinoff miniseries; one featuring Spike and one featuring Willow (Editor Scott Allie spoke more about them with CBR). In addition, legendary artist Russ Heath will draw some pages in an upcoming issue of Buffy. Dark Horse will launch a new Dragon Age series in August, following the online miniseries that's been running on Dark Horse Digital. They also confirmed that Becky Cloonan will return to Conan after James Harren's three issues, and they announced Ex Sanguine, a five-issue miniseries by Tim Seeley and Josh Emmons. Finally, The Goon will go monthly with issue #40.
Legendary Comics announced at its panel this afternoon at Comic-Con International that it will publish new projects from Paul Pope and Matt Wagner.
Set for release this holiday season, PulpHope is a more than 200-page retrospective of Pope's career, featuring many pieces that haven't been seen before. A previous edition was published in 2007 by AdHouse Books.
The Tower Chronicles, developed by Wagner with Legendary CEO Thomas Tull, is a supernatural action-adventure about a bounty hunter with a hidden past who, backed by a team of high-tech mercenaries, protects civilians from the things that go bump in the night.
"We are thrilled to be working with Pope and Wagner on these upcoming projects for Legendary Comics," Editor-in-Chief Bob Schreck said in a statement. "Just as our film division works with the best-in-class talent and filmmakers to produce content for the fandom demographic, so too will Legendary Comics move forward on our mandate to publish works from the best in A the industry."
Legendary also will release Frank Miller's Holy Terror in September.
Update: The Hollywood Reporter reports that Simon Bisley will provide artwork for the Tower Chronicles. They also provide additional details on the PulpHope book, calling it "a revamped version of the artist's out-of-print art book titled PulpHope, stripping away 100 pages and throwing in 100 new ones incorporating work Pope has done in the music, toy and clothing spheres, as well as other material."

A little help?
I installed the blogroll-update plugin (http://dev.wp-plugins.org/browser/blogroll-update/), and activated it. Only I didn't like the stuff it made appear by the names in my blogroll once they'd updated. It puts ">>" before the name of the updated blog and "<<" afterwards.
I didn't like it and I didn't know how to change it. So I deactivated the plugin, unckecked "Track Links' Update Times" on Options>Miscellaneous page, and deleted the plugin from my plugins directory. But I'm still getting the above next to the blogs it marked as updated.
Any ideas on how I get rid of this?

(1912-2006). He has been called a poet of the camera, but U.S. photographer Gordon Parks was more than that. As both a writer and photographer, he documented the everyday lives of African Americans at a time when few people outside the black community were familiar with their lives. As a composer and painter, he expanded his gifts to create orchestral music, film scores, and a ballet about Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. At an age when many people begin to think about retirement, Parks made his debut as a film director.

WASHINGTON, April 2, 2008--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has amended its Federal Order on viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) to require permits before allowing species of live non-salmonid fish from VHS-affected Canadian provinces to be imported into the United States for direct slaughter.
As APHIS gathers more information about the disease, a federal regulatory program is put in place that allows for testing and certification prior to the interstate movement of fish susceptible to VHS. The original Federal Order was issued in response to the rapid spread of VHS in the Great Lakes region and the potential impact of the disease on a growing number of fish species, which includes species of fish raised commercially in the United States.
VHS is a highly contagious disease of some fresh and saltwater fish that, while not harmful to people, causes internal hemorrhaging and death in a wide range of fish species. APHIS initially took action in response to detections of VHS for the first time in fresh-water fish in several of the Great Lakes and related tributaries. VHS is responsible for several large-scale die-offs of wild fish in the Great Lakes region.
APHIS issued the October 2006 Federal Order to prohibit the importation of 37 species of live fish from two Canadian provinces into the United States and the interstate movement of the same species from the eight states bordering the Great Lakes. The revision of the Federal Order will facilitate trade of live non-salmonid fish between the United States and Canada. All shipments will require an APHIS permit that will specify the conditions necessary to prevent the introduction of VHS.
The amended Federal Order will remain in effect until APHIS publishes an interim rule establishing federal regulations for VHS later in 2008. Both the modified and the original emergency order can be found on the APHIS Web site at /animal_health/animal_dis_spec

X360A Reviews: Smackdown vs. Raw 2011 & DJ Hero 2
Written Wednesday, October 27, 2010 By Dan WebbView author's profile
Continuing the trend of constant reviews throughout the month of October, today we bring you a look at two brands that certainly haven't had the greatest time with fans as of late: WWE and the Hero brand.
Both franchises have been criticised in recent times for getting a little stale with iteration after iteration failing to innovate enough to warrant a £40/$60 purchase. While Smackdown vs. Raw has been around for some time though, DJ Hero is relatively new, so it should have no excuses at this early stage... or should it?
Can Activision and FreeStyleGames not repeat the same mistakes of Guitar Hero as of late? Can THQ surprise us with innovations galore in SvR 2011? You know what to do here... read the reviews to find out.
Read the definitive DJ Hero 2 review here.

Three Broomsticks editorial: "Headmasters in the canon"
The editorial starts off with a full-length discussion about what exactly canon is. While hpboy13 shares his viewpoint on the canon of Harry Potter, some – including this writer in particular – will argue the contents of what exactly IS within the canon of the Hogwarts saga, though we can save that argument over another article or perhaps a rebuttal of sorts.
However, the foundation that this editorial titled "Headmasters in the Canon" provides of who exactly was the Headmaster of Hogwarts within the Fantastic Beasts timeline was very well thought out. This particular writer agrees with the editorialist, hpboy13, that while the movies of the Harry Potter series show Newt Scamander with his own Hogwarts Headmaster portrait on the wall, this is a major discrepancy and a "laugh" by the film producers, "much as they did putting crew members' names on the gravestones in Movie 4 – and not intending to be taken seriously."
Be sure to read this wonderful piece and all of the other editorials within the Three Broomsticks, and feel free to let us know your opinions in the comments below.

My mom always makes this at Christmas and I can't stop myself from eating it. Thanks for posting this recipe, I never seem to be able to keep up with my copy from my mom.
mine didnt set up ever. i left it overnight and even put it in the freezer. .. but i ran out of powdered sugar for most of my 4th cup that could have been the problem. but it is soo smooth and great flavor. we just ate it with spoons.
Very quick and easy recipe to make. Mine didn't set up at first, but I do think it needs the overnight to set up properly, as directed. Mine also seemed a bit lighter in color than the other photo, not sure why as I followed the recipe exactly - but it was lovely never the less. Thanks for posting a great recipe, Bev!! ** Made for Bevergae Tag 2007**

A new multiclass classifier based on immune system principles is proposed. The unique feature of this classifier is the embedded property of local feature selection. This method of feature selection was inspired by the binding of an antibody to an antigen, which occurs between amino acid residues forming an epitope and a paratope. Only certain selected residues (so-called energetic residues) take part in the binding. Antibody receptors are formed during the clonal selection process. Antibodies binding (recognizing) with most antigens (instances) create an immune memory set. This set can be reduced during an optional apoptosis process. Local feature selection and apoptosis result in data-reduction capabilities. The amount of data required for classification was reduced by up to 99%. The classifier has only two user-settable parameters controlling the global-local properties of the feature space searching. The performance of the classifier was tested on several benchmark problems. The comparative tests were performed using k-NN, support vector machines, and random forest classifiers. The obtained results indicate good performance of the proposed classifier in comparison with both other immune inspired classifiers and other classifiers in general.

A question came in today about how many variants are supported per product in CS2007. The answer is somewhat gray:
At the end of the day, the best advice I can give - model it and do a simple proof-of-concept exercise. If it works, run with it - as there is no right or wrong answer - just as there is no uniform one-size-fits-all catalog schema.
Hope this helps!

Hey all,
I see that in 3.3 there is a new drag and drop feature for the uploader, but unless I'm missing something it appears to not exist.
I'm using 3.3.1, just downloaded a clean version with no plugins or custom themes, and it is still not there. Is there something on the server that could be preventing it from working?

So today we went into the peds office for our weekly weight check and I saw my ped in the hallway. So he came over and we chatted about how she was doing and how she was eating. He then asked how old she was and I told him 6 months actual 3 months adjusted and he asked me if I wanted to start solids next month. I was totally freaked out and I told him that scared me. He said there was no rush but in the next month or two if she showed interest in eating solids we could start with cereal. I'm not sure how I feel about it but just wanted to see what everyone else did. Next month she will be 4 months adjusted.
I really am in no hurry, nor do I want to start too early. But its kinda exciting to think that she is almost onto the next step!!
What did you do?

HSBC Said to Lure Three Bids for Mauritius Retail Bank Unit
HSBC Holdings Plc, Europe's largest bank by market value, is considering selling its retail banking business in Mauritius, two people familiar with the matter said.
The lender has lured bids from banks including Mumbai-based State Bank of India and Port Louis, Mauritius-based AfrAsia Bank and Bramer Banking Corp., one of the people said, declining to be identified because the process is confidential. Some bidders are studying the books of HSBC's retail bank unit through a due diligence exercise, the person said.
HSBC, which is based in London, in August said it is in talks to sell its U.S. card and retail services unit as part of a plan to eliminate 30,000 jobs by the end of 2013 to curtail expenses. Mauritius, with a population of 1.3 million, has 20 banks with total assets of 874.2 billion rupees ($30 billion) as of the end of October, according to central bank data.
"We review the elements of our businesses and strategy all the time," HSBC spokeswoman Amelie Desvaux de Marigny said in an e-mailed response to questions. "Mauritius continues to be important for HSBC and we remain focused on building a sustainable business here," she said, adding that the lender doesn't comment on speculation.
HSBC also offers commercial, corporate and institutional banking, payments and cash management, trade and export finance, treasury and financial markets, project finance, corporate finance and securities custody in Mauritius, according to its website.
Mauritian Market
"We haven't received any communication on this matter," Jugdish Shivalingayya Hiremath, managing director of State Bank of India's Mauritius unit, based in Port Louis, said in an e-mailed response to questions. "We're also wondering why HSBC is selling the retail outfit. We haven't taken a call whether to bid or not."
AfrAsia won't "comment on market speculation," Suneeta Motala, head of marketing and public relations at the lender, said in a mobile phone interview. Javed Bolah, the spokesman of Bramer Banking's parent, British American Investment Co. Mauritius Ltd., couldn't immediately comment when contacted today.
The Mauritian banking market is dominated by Mauritius Commercial Bank and State Bank of Mauritius Ltd. with international lenders such as Barclays Plc, Standard Bank Group Ltd., Groupe BPCE's Banque des Mascareignes of France and Bank of Baroda of India. Mauritius has a bankable population of about 400,000, serviced by 14 lenders, Ravin Dajee chairman of the Mauritius Bankers Association and managing director of Barclays Bank's Mauritian unit, said on Jan. 6.

Thomas B has been tutoring my 10 year old nephew for about 1 month and after a recent session my nephew said Thomas B was a gift from God!
He taught me how to improve my writing skills. He showed excellent communication skills. Able to explain a given subject clearly and accurately. Showed respect and interest in helping me.
Today was my daughter's first visit with Thomas for Geometry. She was very comfortable with him and confident after leaving her math session. She felt Thomas did an excellent job at really explaining her math questions and helping her to understand the problems. She is so happy to have him as her new tutor! Thank you Thomas!
Thomas tutored my son during the summer in Algebra. He did a great job answering questions and providing structure for summer learning.
Approved subjects are in bold.
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
These letters stand for Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. These students have difficulty being still and focusing on a sbject for a period of time. Therefore teaching these students means using techniques which can use their strengths to help their weaknesses. I have a special education endorsement, so I have training in how to deal with ADD students. I also have 29 years of teaching experience, so I have successfully taught many ADD/ADHD students in my career.
Asperger's is on the autism spectrum and is marked by social and communication difficulties. I have a special education endorsement and am currently teaching a self-contained special education class including Asperger's students. I have aslo had experience in my career previously with Asperger's students. My training and experience have allowed me to learn ways to help Asperger's students learn.
Autism spectrum is marked by social and communication difficulties. I have a special education endorsement and am currently teaching a self-contained special education class including autistic students. I have also had experience in my career previously with autistic students. My training and experience have allowed me to learn ways to help autistic students learn academic and social skills.
I have been a practicing artist for almost 40 years. I have a BFA degree in art, as well as a Washington state teaching endorsement in Visual Arts. I completed a school art program at the University of South Carolina that led to my endorsement. I wrote a successful grant to use art instruction to improve prereading skills for preschoolers and kindergarteners. I have always used art to improve learning for my students. In my drawing instruction I have taught, among other topics, lessons in perspective and shading.
Dyslexia is an inability to read as well as IQ would suggest. These students are often bright, and quickly become discouraged as they realize they are not reading as well as they feel they should. Therefore it is necessary to not only address the academic difficulties but also the self-confidence issues. I have 29 years of teaching experience including some time as a reading specialist. I also have special education endorsement as well as special education experience.
I have an elementary education endorsement and 29 years of experience teaching at the elementary level. I have taught all subjects at the elementary level, including science and social studies.

I have a BFA in art, and have completed courses at the University of South Carolina in the school art program which has allowed me to obtain a visual arts endorsement on my Washington state teaching certification. So I have a combination of training and experience in this area. Painting includes not just perspective and shading, but also using color to set moods and communicate feelings.
Phonics is the matching of letters and letter sounds to read words. It can help students to decode words and make sense of what they read. I have used many different phonics programs ans so can match students to the programs that will work best for them. I have 29 years of experience teaching, including time as a reading specialist.
I have a special education endorsement from Washington state on my teaching certificate so I have training in dealing with special needs, including physical disabilities as well as learning disabilities. I also have experience as a special education teacher so I have taught students with a variety of disabilities. Each student is unique, and I have to be ready to adjust lessons to take advantage of my student's strengths.
Many students have difficulty in school because of a lack of study skills, including things like organization and the ability to recognize what is important to know. As a teacher for 29 years, I have worked with many students to improve their study skills and ability to learn what they need to learn to meet their academic goals and improve their self-confidence.

Rise of a Virus
Global Collaboration on SARS Bears Fruit
By DENISE GRADY and LAWRENCE K. ALTMAN
Published: May 26, 2003
There are biohazard signs on the doors and airflow systems designed to keep viruses from wafting out of laboratories. In one laboratory, a researcher wears gloves, gown and mask. In another, the dress code is a full spacesuit with its own air supply. A visitor, allowed to peer in through glass panels, is warned, only half jokingly, never to shake hands with anyone here who is wearing latex gloves.
This is Building 15, home of the special pathogens branch of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.
The most feared diseases, caused by deadly, highly contagious viruses, are studied in this building. Hemorrhagic fevers like Ebola and Lassa qualify; malaria and hepatitis do not.
Early in the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, when it was still being called a mystery disease, it became apparent that the microbe causing it was acting like what the C.D.C. terms a special pathogen: flashing through hospitals, swiftly cutting down scores of health workers, killing an alarming number of victims. Whatever this germ was, it belonged in Building 15.
If infectious disease experts have a worst nightmare, it is that a new, very contagious disease with a high death rate reaches an international airline hub — a place like Hong Kong, for instance — and hops to other countries before anyone even notices it. That is precisely what SARS has done.
The potential of SARS to seed itself rapidly around the world and touch off a chain reaction of deadly epidemics galvanized the World Health Organization to start an international collaboration to identify the cause of the disease and to try to develop ways to diagnose, contain, treat and prevent it.
The effort got results, and with extraordinary speed.
The investigation has ranged from universities and besieged hospitals to live-animal markets in southern China to high-tech genetics laboratories and the sprawling C.D.C. complex.
When SARS emerged, many laboratories and infectious disease experts, in the aftermath of the anthrax attacks of 2001, were already in a heightened state of alert and on the lookout for unusual diseases.
SARS first came to the world's attention in mid-March, and only a week later, scientists isolated the virus that appeared to be causing it. A few weeks after that, two teams decoded the viral genome, providing information that could help to develop diagnostic tests, vaccines and antiviral drugs and to find out where the virus came from. Last week, scientists pinpointed a possible source of SARS — civets, badgers and raccoon dogs being sold for meat in China's Guangdong Province — and were able to compare the gene sequence of the animal virus with the one found in people.
But the campaign had to begin with a simple, essential question: what exactly was causing SARS?
A Surprising Find
Before the world learned about SARS, specimens from infected patients were hard to come by. Some international shippers balked at handling them.
In a hospital in Vietnam, where autopsies are frowned upon, it took delicate negotiations for a pathologist to get permission to remove lung tissue from a patient who had died.
Finally, in the first half of March, specimens packed in dry ice began to arrive at the special pathogens branch from Hong Kong, Thailand and Vietnam — vials of blood, sputum, lung and throat washings, bits of tissue.
Researchers hoped that the specimens, dropped into cell cultures and injected into baby mice, would grow enough virus or bacteria to let them identify the cause of the new disease.
On March 18, researchers noticed that something was happening in a flask of cells that had been seeded with a sample from the throat of a patient. The flask contained a culture of monkey kidney cells, known as Vero cells, which are fertile ground for certain viruses. Clear zones had begun to form, meaning that something was killing the Vero cells.
"That's a sign something is growing," said Dr. Thomas G. Ksiazek, chief of the special pathogens branch. "Then you need to find out, well, what is this?"
The next step was to process the contents of that flask so that they could be looked at with an electron microscope. On Friday morning, March 21, an electron microscopist named Cynthia Goldsmith examined a type of sample, called a thin section, of infected cells that were magnified about 14,000 times.
Almost immediately, telltale features stood out: black, beadlike dots of genetic material inside spherical viruses, the distinctive way the viruses lined up along the cell surface and the region where they clustered inside the cells, a structure called the endoplasmic reticulum.
"My first reaction was coronavirus," Ms. Goldsmith said.
It took her by surprise, she said. Although coronaviruses made animals very sick, in people they were known to cause only colds and gut trouble, not serious diseases like pneumonia. They had not even been mentioned as a possible culprit in SARS. And most did not even grow in Vero cells.
Ms. Goldsmith spent the next 20 or 30 minutes examining more cells, thinking about whether she might be mistaken and looking at images of other coronaviruses for comparison.
At 12:11 p.m., she sent her supervisor, Dr. Sherif R. Zaki, an e-mail message saying that she could not believe it herself but she was looking at a coronavirus.
Ms. Goldsmith and Dr. Zaki met with other C.D.C. scientists that afternoon. The microscope image, all agreed, was just the beginning.
"We have a coronavirus," Dr. Ksiazek said. "So what?"

What i have is a xbox with 2.0 on it and i'm trying to softmod it for someone if possible, because he doesnt want to use xbox live no more, just wants to do other things on it. So does anyone have a clue how to just make it exploitable from the state that it is in now, using the mechassualt gamesave. And don't say use Search because i been using search and will continue to use search, that's how I found out you can remove xbox live but you have to backup your c drive first and all that other nice stuff which it is far too late for. But anyway thanx if anyone can point me in the right direction.

Even if you owned that most beautifully-crafted stringed instrument in the world, you can't underestimate the importance of a quality bow and rosin when it comes to your instrument's playability and sound. In fact, a new bow goes hand in hand with rosin, because it's the rosin that will provide your bow with the friction it needs to produce a sound. The good news is that you don't need to look any further for bows and rosin. All the top brands are here, including The String Centre, Bellafina, Andrea and many others.
Throughout these pages you'll discover bows for the violin, cello, viola and double bass. There are a few different types of materials used in the making of bows, but Brazilwood bows are definitely the most popular among beginners and intermediate players. You'll find a wide range of affordable Brazilwood bows here. For example, the top-selling Bellafina Student Brazilwood Viola Bow 4/4 Size features a pearl eye and slide, nickel/silver ferrule and a leather grip. As for more advanced players, try something more durable like a carbon-fiber bow. There are plenty of great models available, and many 4/4 size cello players agree that the P&H Size Master Class Carbon Fiber Cello Bow is the best on the market. This carbon-fiber bow is based on ground-breaking re-hair technology and has exceptional balance.
As you've probably guessed, there are more than enough top-rated rosin options in this section as well. If you play the double bass, then turn your attention to the Carlsson Bass Rosin. This premium Swedish bass rosin is favored by concert pros around the world and you'll understand why quickly after applying it. As for violin, viola or cello players, try a best seller like the Pirastro Gold Rosin for Violin, Viola, or Cello Standard. This medium light rosin comes in the preferred "round cake" style and will no doubt improve your performance and instrument tone significantly.
With so many bow and rosin options to consider, it would take forever to discuss each one in detail, so feel free to explore the rest of the catalog. If you still can't decide on a bow, ask an experienced player or music teacher for guidance - basically, the right bow should feel like an extension of your arm. Also, don't be afraid to ask for advice on rosin (including how much should be applied to your instrument). Of course, when you're ready to make a purchase, just remember that all the bows and rosin choices you'll ever need can be found right here.
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs), chopped
1) Preheat oven to temperature of 350 degrees.
2) In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the milk with the granulated sugar, instant coffee and 3 tablespoons of the margarine or butter till the butter has melted.
3) In a greased 6-cups baking dish, put the breadcrumbs and pour the mixture all over them. Allow to stand for about 10 minutes and beat with a fork to blend well.
4) In a small bowl, slightly beat the eggs with salt, cinnamon and vanilla and pour the mixture all over the bread mixture. Blend well.
5) Bake in preheated oven for about 1 hour or till a knife inserted in the center emerges clean. Remove from the oven. Turn heat to broil.
6) In a small frying pan, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of margarine or butter and add the brown sugar, cream and walnuts. Stir well and drop by small spoonfuls on top of the freshly cooked hot pudding.
7) Broil for about 2 to 3 minutes, 4 to 6 inches away from the heat source, till the topping starts to bubble.
8) Serve cold or warm, as preferred.
