I know that many readers of this blog are outdoor exercisers — runners, bikers, and walkers. If you're like me, you worry about things from a safety perspective. (Warning: morbid thoughts comin' up.) On the one hand, you want your ID on you in case you're hit by a car or otherwise incapacitated — but on the other hand, if you're attacked, the last thing you want is for the attacker to have both your keys AND your address (which they will if you're carrying your license). So when I heard of this nifty bracelet I just about swooned — it has your name, city, and the phone numbers of loved ones — no address. (You can also add information about blood type, allergies, and more.) Perfect! It's $29.99 at RoadID.com. WristID Elite
Coffee Break: RoadID WristID Elite
I don't know about this; it makes me feel like a dog on a leash. Besides, what could happen if you didn't have an ID on you when you're exercising?
If you get hit by a car w/ no ID they don't know who you are and can't notify your next of kin until a missing persons report comes in.
agree with EM below, though would like ER/EMT employees to weigh in on this. How likely is it that the hospital is going to notice this engraving vs. carrying your insurance card, which seems much more rational to me…
My insurance card doesn't have contact info for my family, nor does it have information about my illnesses. I do see your point in relation to identifying you, though.
My sister is an EMT and has had patients who are not conscious so there are steps taken that they may not want taken for whatever reasons OR they don't know that the patient is allergic to x, y, z, … and on a personal note, the same sister was involved in an incident that left her on the side of the road — it was only the fact that our uncle (the closest relative to where she's going to med school) has a very easy to remember phone number that let her tell the people who found her who to call before she lost consciousness… she was very lucky, but many people are not. Even if you eschew this bracelet, I encourage everyone to put an emergency contact card in your wallet. I also have the "locked" screen on my blackberry show my emergency phone numbers
I'm a surgeon. This spring I took care of a healthy 50 year old woman who was hit by a car on her daily 5 mile run. All she had on her was her Ipod, an unmarked house key and her hat. She had terrible injuries including a devastating head injury that required an emergency operation to decompress the pressure on her brain by removing a piece of her skull. I'm sorry if this is too graphic, but this happened on a Friday afternoon. We didn't find her family until Sunday night. It is a truly terrible feeling as a health care provider to know that you are caring for someone's wife, mother, sister, etc and to know that a family's loved one just. didnt. come. home.
That is so sad. I can't imagine being her family. :(
A young woman was hit by a bus in Washington, DC, in my neighborhood last spring and had terrible head injuries. They didn't identify her until she didn't show up for work and her office started calling hospitals.
My American friend was hit by a car while jogging alone in a rural area of France. She speaks no French and was unconscious for 36 hours, and when she came to, she had a lot of trouble (due to physical and mental trauma + language barriers) communicating to people at the hospital how to contact her family, gather her belongings from the hostel (which was about to dispose of them), etc.
Erin–I live in that neighborhood too–that accident actually spurred me to get my own Road ID last August, right after it happened. I have the model that sticks to your shoelaces and it always gives me a sense of comfort when I go running in the morning.
My domestic helper's son was hit by a car and while he did carry ID, it fell out of his pocket and no one knew his whereabouts for 10 days. It was gut wrenching for all of us, cannot even begin to imagine her mental state. This tag can really be a godsend.
RoadID also makes an ID like this that fits on your shoes. They also have a relatively new service that allows medical providers to get even more information on your via an 800 number, I believe is how it works.
I am a long-time, long distance runner, and have used the Road ID for years. On a long training run, either in town or out in the country, I am not carrying my insurance card with me. I slip my shoes on, and the ID is right there.
RoadID gives out free certificates to race directors all over the country–all you have to do is ask. I get half a dozen for every race I direct every year as door prizes, along with coupons for discounts for every runner, and free race numbers. I know this is a promotional idea for the company, but they do seem civic and health-minded.
Runners need to carry IDs, and this is a great way to do it, and, no, I don't own stock in the company :)
I have one of these. You can usually get a coupon for them at 5ks, etc. There's also one to attach to your shoe so that you'll never forget it.
Johanna — Lots of things can happen. I have fallen while running, and though I was able to get up, it was very easy to imagine a situation where I would have hit my head on the pavement and passed out. I also know a couple of people who have had crashes or medical emergencies on their bikes while riding alone that rendered them unconscious (luckily, everything turned out fine after a quick visit to the ER).
I'm also curious if EMS would check your shoe.
Per my sister, the EMT (she' s worked in a city and volunteered w/ a suburb for about 7 years and is now in medical school), yes – though a bracelet is a lot more obvious.
Yes. Always. And the inside of your running tights, or call the group who's throwaway key chain you have your house key on, or scroll through your Ipod for pictures that identify people, or look through your home. They'll do it all, or the social workers at the hospital that's taking care of you.
Absolutely — To think that medical workers will not go to great extraordinary lengths to identify you and notify your family is a total misnomer. My sister and a colleague once spent two hours calling every "Jones" in the phone book
I absolutely did not mean that health care workers wouldn't care. I completely think they would. I meant is a shoelace/shoe an obvious place to look for identification. I'm sorry if there was confusion. I just didn't know if every bracelet was checked or only the ones that look like obvious medical bracelets. I hear road ID is pretty popular now so I think it is more likely to get noticed.
Not a problem :-) I just wanted to emphasize that even though faster is obviously better, if there isn't something on your wrist they will look everywhere else to find a way to ID you — but something on your shoe is fairly common as well.
Don't forget about the Interactive Version for those who are moving or frequently changing meds: http://www.roadid.com/common/compare.aspx. Absolutely worth the money!
The interactive is a joke – when you're laying on the ground – do you really think the first responders are going to call to query a database to find out your vitals? NO…. so if you're allergic to latex and they are touching you with gloves. If you have a heart value or on coumadin, then what.
I love this and will order one today. I'm lucky enough to live in a place where I can exercise outdoors often, but I've often felt unsafe just heading out with my house key tied to my sneaker. This is a great idea — thanks Corporette!!
There are lots of companies that engrave jewelry for identification, so if you're not into the Road ID look, there are other choices. I have a simple silver bracelet with my contact and medical info on it which I wear when riding.
I have a similar bracelet, but I find it hits my wrist annoyingly while running. You're right, though, it's great to have options.
If you find the bracelet version annoying, they also make one that goes on your shoe (both a basic ID plate and one with a pouch to hold a key). I have the pouch–it is not intrusive and stays put well when running. Take a look at both products:
To clarify, the style of the RoadID featured here looks perfect to me! I have one in the same vein as the one InkdAtty linked and that is the one that bothers me when running.
The shoe one is a nice idea, too.
I wear my college ring when running for this very reason. It has my college name/seal and my first name, middle initial, and last name engraved on it. Probably not the quickest means of ID but I do worry about having too much info on me and the alumni association has all my current information including where I work (work has emergency contact info) and any old records they pull would have my parents address/phone number since that was my permanent contact info while I was in school and they still live in the same place.
Just remember that your alumni association may not have office hours on weekends. If you're hit by a car on Friday, the ER may not be able to reach anyone at your school until Monday morning.
I always travel with a spare $20 and my medical insurance card. Just in case.
Very smart — I would add a card w/ your emergency contacts as well in case you are in the hospital and unable to communicate that
Great idea! I know a girl who was hit by a biker while running and was in critical condition and ICU for days from head trauma. They had a really hard time tracking down someone to contact because she had no ID on her at the time.
This is great! I currently take several different MS medications and am always worried about the interactions between the medications I'm on and medications I could possibly be given if something were to happen to me.
Sara, I'm pretty set in my meds now. (I've finally found a combo that's working!) But, I'm definitely going to check out the Interactive Version. I used to change meds somewhat frequently, so there's a possibility I'll be changing in the future if my current regiment stops producing results.
If you're attacked while you are running, having both your ID and your house keys is the least of your problems.
The person who attacks you while you are jogging is highly unlikely to be at all interested in your possessions. You don't have a purse, this isn't a robbery – the attacker already knows that it is unlikely you are carrying a wallet or anything of value. The attacker wants to hurt you. The danger is in being removed to another location and assaulted or killed.
If you are worried about getting hit by a car, taken unconscious to the ER, and not being identifiable, then this bracelet is a great idea.
But from a safety perspective, your best defense is a good offense. Stay alert and aware of your surroundings. Don't run outside with headphones because you'll never hear the attacker coming up behind you. If something looks sketchy, it probably is – get out. Carry your cell phone. Tell someone where you're going. Learn at least some basic self defense and – most importantly – use everything you have to eff someone up if they try to hurt you.
THANK YOU for the advice/reminder!
Yes, but even in your worst case scenario, it would be helpful for identification to be located on/near your body.
Yes, absolutely. Sorry, I somehow left "carry id" out of my list – I always take my driver's license with me.
I still remember the NYC Jogger case… shudder. I'll stick to my exercise DVDs, and run around my suburban neighborhoood, thank you very much…
You can get attacked in the 'burbs just as easily as in the city…
If you like exercising to your DVDs and running in your neighborhood, then more power to you! But if you really would rather exercise in a more urban environment, it is generally not dangerous.
I run/bike/walk around my city six days a week (and it's not on the "Safest Places to Live" lists), because attacks like the NYC Jogger case are extremely rare and so unlikely. It's much more likely that you'll get hit by a car (or a piece of trash from someone's car) or that you'll trip and injure yourself.
I have never felt less safe jogging in big cities than in the midwest town where I'm from. In fact, there tend to be more people out in urban areas, so I'm probably safer because if I scream, someone is likely to be nearby, and if I am injured, someone will pass me soon enough. I don't think the crime rates in most big cities are higher than in other places. And I would rather run in an urban area than on a sidewalk-less suburban street.
I don't know whether attacks are more likely in the city or the burbs, but car accidents are possible in either and ID will help in that case.
I thought that if you were brought to the ER with a life threatening condition, the hospital had to treat you. Is this correct? Therefore, carrying your insurance card is unnecessary because if your condition is non life threatening, you can just go back to your home/ apartment and get it. I do however see how important it is to have name/contact info so that if you have a serious medical problem, your next of kin can be contacted.
Your insurance card comes w/ your primary care physician's info as well as your medications that went through insurance (not sure about the $4 generics from Wal-Mart, etc.) — also, if they have the insurance card from the start it will save you a major headache when it comes to the paperwork end later on
Yes, but these medications are not listed directly on the card. I'd rather err on the side of caution and also have my illness listed on a bracelet or something similar.
You're right, though, it's good to have both the card and something like this, if possible.
Absolutely — Always err on the side of caution — I was just trying to explain why the insurance card is a good thing to have (billing issues aside)
My insurance card just has a string of random numbers and letters and information about my copay – no medications or primary care physician. Do I need a better insurance company?
The hospital can look up the information on their system w/ your insurance number… but that takes time, so it is definitely better to clearly identify any major issues like diabetes, hemophilia, etc.
I have the RoadID that secures to my shoe–it's fabulous. You can choose the identifying information you want to include, plus it's llghtweight and you don't even notice it while running–it doesn't flop or squeek or anything like that when attached to your laces. Five stars.
As a side note, I take the Bar in a week and I'm so thankful to corporette and my fellow posters for the brief daily reprieves from braincombustion for the past two months of studying!!
^^A-men on the thanks for the Bar breaks!! :-D
Study breaks from bar study SO GREAT!
Hurrah for Sarahs!!
Hurrah for another study break!! :-D
Hurray for it almost being OVER! (not so hurray for how much I still need to memorize…)
I have this on my shoe. It is noticeable on there and I do believe that EMS or a good samaritan would find it without problem if anything happened to me on my run. My name is on it, but not my address. The number is my husband's cell phone. It has never, ever occurred to me that someone might be able to find me after an attack based on this. I did however see a runner die, without identification, while out on a run while I was training for a marathon. He was in his early 30s and in good shape. He was not identified for several hours after his death. That scared me into never running without this type of ID.
I feel like I'm missing something. Why wouldn't you want your address on a roadID bracelet?
Anon here, Bonnie. Someone above had mentioned their reasoning for not getting one of these RoadIDs was because an attacker could track you down based on your address. I was just reiterating that I don't have my address on mine (you can choose what you do and do not list) and do not feel like it's a threat to have this information on my person while running.
Thanks for the advice and great idea. I often run in the city without any ID and have realized that it's probably a bad idea. BTW, use code pcTanline6 for 10% off. I just bought the shoe ID and will attach it as soon as I get it!
I really like this. I routinely exercise outdoors without ID and I know it is a problem. I think I'm going to purchase for family members who bike/run/walk etc outdoors for exercise. Thanks for posting!!
I posted this above, but will re-post here b/c it is important – Even if you are not running there is always a possibility, however remote, that you will be in a position where your family will have to be notified. My family experienced this recently, so I recommend a combination of the following:
– Most cell phones let you put a message on the "locked" view of the screen – I put my emergency numbers there, that way even if the phone is locked, it is obvious what number to call. I also put my name and the names of the emergency contacts. Put more than one number. The bonus is that beyond it being easy for someone to find, and avoiding the issue of a locked cell phone preventing access to your phone book, it also eliminates the guesswork… for example, "Dad" for me would be an appropriate emergency contact while "home" is useless…I live alone. For someone in their 50s and married "home" is the better bet and "Dad" might give an 80 year old a heart attack.
– Put a card in your wallet labeled "in case of emergency" and the basic info needed. This may be obvious, but put down area codes (many people don't)
– If you live alone, consider putting "emergency contacts" in an obvious spot, as well as keeping an updated hard copy of your address book in an obvious place as well.
Our family of serious bicyclists wears Road IDs. Last week my two adult nephews were cycling the same route but 5 miles apart, (one rides fast). The slower was involved in a freak accident and knocked unconscious. Witnesses called for help. Emergency workers immediately saw the Road ID and found the info to call the other nephew. Also saw that the nephew involved in the accident is diabetic which can have a serious impact on how trauma is treated. Road IDs work!
Does anyone know how small these run…Am thinking would be a good idea for a friend with a daughter (7) with autism… She out and about quite a bit, and should they ever get separated, this would be helpful as the daughter has limited speech…
great idea
I have had very good success with http://www.stickyj.com/ it may not be the best for serious runners, but you could get her a very pretty bracelet, necklace, etc with the information!
Mine is velcro, so you can make it extremely small (I got the small size, based on the chart on the website). I think there is even an extra small size.
Oops.. just went to the website, and apparently there is no "extra small." Mine is the small, and it does get very little. I think it would go on a child. There is also an ankle one that might work better since that wouldn't have to be as small as a wrist one.
The picture on the site shows that the tag is approximately the size of a quarter.
Thanks. I had a chance to look and you can change the color of the straps and they have pink and purple….
If it's just for occasional use, I recommend www.safetytat.com for kids. We use them for outings to the zoo or museums and for family vacations. You can't put as much info on them as the featured bracelet, but the child also can't remove them (at least not without some serious scrubbing). I think you can get them with an alert re: medical conditions like autism, as well.
I have "Tottoos" for my small children when we go to amusement parks, etc. www.tottoos.org Temporary tattoos with the pertinent information. They can't be easily removed, which might be good for your friend as well.
They make GPS watches that you can put on your kid so if she gets lost you can track her location. Seems like it'd be perfect for a nonverbal autistic child, assuming she likes wearing the watch and will keep it on.
I had thought of getting a dog collar tag from the local pet store to tie into my shoelaces when I run, but this looks like a better option! Thanks!
You can also put phone numbers in your iPod under Contacts. I have only a few numbers in it to make it easy for EMS: "me" with my home number, "ICE-mom", and two close friends.
I think its risky to just have it on an electronic device, which could be dropped/broken/run over/stolen in the horrible event that leads the random stranger to need to know your personal contact info.
The tags are a great idea – I wouldn't wear the bracelet, but the shoe tag is definitely great.
Agree – and there's also the possibility that the person working on you does not know how to work your device (yes most of the world has an ipod…but most is not all), or that you battery dies.
Kat – any chance of amending the comment policy to prohibit individuals from posting more than a given number of comments on a single article?
Or – you could just skip over the comment if you don't want to read more from that particular individual. Seems simpler.
Agreed that this is the simpler approach – and the one that I employ – but, regardless, both approaches only work online. For those who have to interact with a frequent commenter in real life… act really busy and wear earplugs?
As a former EMT, I can tell you that we are all trained to look for medic-alert and other identification bracelets and tags, like this one. While less noticeable on your shoe, the EMTs would still definitely find it since they are usually going to be taking off your shoes during their initial exam. This is a fantastic idea, anyone who exercises outdoors should have one!
I will second that; as a first responder (both ski patrol and firefighter) it has been drilled into us to look for these.
I carry my husband's business card in my wallet. It is labeled "husband" and has his cell number on it.
Now this is a great idea. I could definitely write "In case of emergency call…" on the back of my business card and laminate it and carry with me when I run. And if they got a hold of someone at my office, HR has my emergency contact information.
Great idea!
Living in Orlando we have had a number of women attacked on trails, and we also happen to have the highest pedestrian death rate in the nation right now (we make up for it with Disney I suppose). As soon as I saw this I ordered one and stuck it right on my running shoes. It has my name and cell phone numbers for three family members (but not addresses or home phones). The great part it it's on my shoes, I don't have to remember to grab it every time I head out, and it's one less thing to carry on those long runs. Highly highly recommend.
If you worry about carrying an ID with your home address on it, you could carry a business card instead. You can also write your allergies and current medications on the back.
I gotta say, this is why I really don't mind going to the gym. I know a lot of people hate it, but in the gym I don't have to worry about safety every minute, I can just get into a zoned-out place where it's my music and my thoughts and not have to worry about some psychopath stalking me. A few years ago in our town, a SAHM went out for a quick walk before her son came home from school on the bus – he came home to an empty house and they found her floating in a canal a few days later. She had been sexually assaulted, strangled, and dumped by a convicted sex offender who had been tracking her movements for days. I have a friend who was grabbed one day while she was walking home from taking her daughter to school, and had her baby daughter in a front carrier – the guy was trying to drag her into his truck to take her God knows where. Thankfully she screamed so loudly people came running, which unfortunately you can't always count on these days. I realize these things don't always happen and generally it's safe to exercise outside, but I've already been sexually assaulted once in my life and I don't care to have it happen again. I have pepper spray, a big dog, etc. and it still doesn't feel okay to me. I'll take my treadmill at the gym any day over running outside.
Yikes…where do you live???
I think the point is that she could live anywhere – violent crime happens every day. It might not happen to you, or someone you know personally, or someone who lives on your street or in your town, ever, and if so, you are truly blessed – but it CAN happen to anyone, at any time.
Oh my gosh… I'm glad that your friend was alright. I definitely picked the wrong time to read this thread. About to head out for a run. Ack!
I hate to admit it, but the gym is for me too. I like to use my i-pod to exercise and I just can't do it outside knowing that I'm drowning out noise from potential threats. The only way I go out walking/jogging is with husband or dog. But come to think of it, even out with dog (which has a tendency to bolt for squirrels, etc), I might like to have one of these on my sneaker. Great thought Kat. Stay safe my corporette friends :)!
I usually do not post but I am SHOCKED to see people justify why they would not get a Road ID. Please think rationally too people – when you exercise you are wearing half the clothes you normally wear. An emergency worker has "little" place to look for ID. I have had my Road ID for my shoe for over 2 years. It is big enough and won't get missed – I even have people at the gym tell me I have something stuck to my shoe. It is attached and with me every time I run or head out for some fresh air and movement.
Please stop making excuses. Get a Road ID or make sure you have a small slip of paper/ID that can identify you.
Sorry – just need to get this out as I am surprised at how so many people think "it won't happen to them."
If anyone isn't convinced, there are 27 pages of stories of cyclists, runners and others who were hit by cars, took hard falls, or otherwise got injured and their RoadID helped them. My husband is a cyclist and I made him get one of these after one of our friends was in a bike vs. car accident and his wife found out by watching the news. And then had to call the TV station to find out what hospital he'd been taken to. As someone stated above, it happens every day, folks!
I'm sorry, hate to be the downer, but your shoe also isn't the best place since shoes often get knocked off when you get hit by a large vehicle. So, yeah, your method isn't fool-proof either. *joining group who only goes to the gym*
More horrors: outside walkers/runners get attacked by rabid animals all the time, too.

Government's TARP Losses Since October: $86.5 Billion
Earlier this month, we noted that investments made under the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) are "in the money" just 4.6 percent of the time.
Today, The Hill points to a new study showing that the monetary losses of these investments since October total $86.5 billion:
The U.S. government has lost $86.5 billion in the stock market since the end of October courtesy of the Wall Street bailout, according to the nonpartisan research think tank Ethisphere. The worst performer for the government was U.S. Bancorp; the U.S. lost $3.7 billion in the preferred stock that company gave it in exchange for an injection of $6.6 billion through the Capital Purchase Program (CPP). That's a loss of 56.1 percent, according to Ethisphere.
Clearly, former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson's TARP plan has not worked, as the investments have tanked and the largest banks actually "reduced the availability of money for consumers and businesses during the final months of 2008." Hopefully the new plan being crafted by Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner provides something more tangible in return for taxpayer investments.

Guide By: Arsenic 17
There are 20 achievements with a total of 200 points.
Show / Hide Guide Road Map
[x360a would like to thank Arsenic 17 for this Roadmap]
|Close Call
|Have your HP reduced to less than 10%, avoid dying and recover to full HP
*SINGLE PLAYER ONLY* This will likely be your first achievement. You must simply let your health (the white bar at the top middle of the screen) drop below 10%. Then, you must avoid dying and take cover to avoid further damage. Within a few seconds, your health will begin to regenerate. Once your health gets back to full, the achievement will unlock.
|Full Armory
|Wield 7 weapons in a match.
*MULTI PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you use 7 weapons in a match. You will need at least one other player and either you or your partner must be at least level 3 and have purchased the shotgun from the Armory. Whoever has the shotgun must equip it. Then load up a Free-For-All game on the Last Stand map (Time Limit set to 0). You will be picking up four of the weapons from the random weapon spawns on the map. There are four weapon spawns you need to keep checking: one in each of the bases, one in the middle lower area, and one in the middle sniper perch. Pick up whatever weapon spawns so the spot can generate another weapon (in about 30 seconds). Weapons spawn randomly, so it may take a while to get all four to spawn. If you are already maxed out on a specific weapon's ammo, you will not be able to pick it up. Equip that weapon, fire a few rounds, then reload. You will then be able to pick up the weapon from the spawn.
|Capture 3 flags without dying in a match.
*MULTI PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you capture 3 flags in a row without dying and you need at least one other player. Start a Capture the Flag game on the Last Stand map, with the Score Limit set to 3. Have your partner stand there while you quickly capture 3 flags in a row to win the game. The only way you can die is if your partner kills you. The achievement unlocks as soon as you capture the third flag to end the game. This will also unlock the "Star Player" achievement for you as well.
|Stress Relief
|Kill a sniper with a melee weapon.
*MULTI PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you melee another player who actively has the sniper rifle equipped. The other player will need to pick up the sniper rifle from a random weapon spawn. On the Last Stand map, the sniper rifle commonly appears first at the top spawn in the middle area of the level (sniper perch). Once they have the sniper, make sure they equip it. Then walk up very close to them and you will see the melee button appear (looks like a saw blade). Hit that button and you will instantly kill them and unlock this achievement.
|Make It Count
|Kill an enemy with your last bullet.
*MULTI PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you kill an opponent with your very last bullet and needs one other player. Make sure you have a class created in which you have a pistol. Then set-up any game type on the Last Stand map. Be careful not to pick up any other weapons. Empty out all of the ammo in the gun which is not the pistol. Then empty out the pistol ammo until you have exactly 2 bullets left. Walk up to the other player and aim at their head. Fire both remaining bullets into their skull to kill them and unlock this achievement immediately.
|Against All Odds
|Kill 5 enemies in a match while under 25% energy.
*MULTI PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you kill five enemies in a match while you are under 25% health and is the only achievement that requires two other players (in addition to yourself) to unlock. Start a Free-For-All game on the Last Stand map with unlimited Time and Kill Limits.
|Five in a row
|Win 5 consecutive matches
*MULTI PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you win 5 consecutive matches of any type and requires at least one other player. It also requires good connection, as lagging out can sometimes (but not always) reset the counter towards this achievement. Capture the Flag on the Last Stand Map with a Score Limit set to 3 is the fastest way to get this done. Just constantly sprint to collect the three flags and continue to the next game afterwards. It is best if the player going for the achievement is host. Each game can be completed in about 3 minutes. Make sure not to capture the last flag when the "Connectivity Error" is counting down on your screen or the win will not count. As soon as you finish the 5th game in a row with a win, the achievement will pop. You can exit the entire game and even do the wins on different days. You do not have to stay continuously in the game for all 5 of the wins.
|Fly Swatter
|Kill a flying enemy.
*MULTI PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you kill an enemy while they are flying through the air using a jetpack. This is easy in principle, but the problem is, to unlock the jetpack you need 9,200 gold coins. These coins are earned very slowly through multiplayer play, so slow that it would take more than 10 hours of pure boosting to earn enough coins. And this achievement is not even something you can do for yourself. You need to come across and kill ANOTHER player that has the jetpack! This leaves you with one of two options basically.
NOTE: The player with the jetpack needs to equip it after purchasing it. This is done by clicking in the bottom right corner of the picture of your character in the Armory. This will change the color of the square from red (not equipped) to blue (equipped).
NOTE ON COIN GRINDING: If you decide to take the grinding route, know that you must actually complete the game for the coins to get saved to your profile. This is a pain, because you can boost for an hour, then the server kicks you and you loose all that progress. This makes boosting next to impossible and downright annoying. If you are boosting with only one other player and they either leave or get booted in the middle of the game, you will loose you progress as well. As much as it pains me to say it, it is recommended that you forgo wasting your time and just suck it up and pay the money to get the completion if you want it.
|Hijack a vehicle after killing its driver.
*MULTI PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you to kill an opponent that is in a jeep and then get in to the jeep and requires at least one other player. Load up a Free-For-All game on the Badlands Map. This map is basically shaped like a circle, with a two bases on opposite sides of the circle. In each base, there is a jeep (that looks like the Warthog from Halo). Have the other player get in the jeep and walk up to him. Kill the other player by shooting him a few times with a machine gun or pistol. Once the other player dies, quickly jump into the vehicle (done by walking up to it and pushing the button that pops-up on-screen). The achievement will unlock instantly.
|Star Player
|Be the best player during a match.
*MULTI PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you finish a game with the most XP out of everyone in the game and will need one other player. Simply load up a Capture the Flag game on the Last Stand map. The player going for the achievement should quickly capture 3 flags while the other player does nothing. The achievement will unlock at the end of the game.
|Ghost in the Machine
|Kill 10 enemies with the Mech.
*MULTI PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you get ten kills while riding in a Mech and will need at least one other player. Load up a Capture the Flag game on the Badlands Map with a Time Limit of 0. This map is basically shaped like a circle, with a two bases on opposite sides of the circle. In each base, there is a Mech (looks like a big robot). Get into the Mech (done by walking up to it and pushing the arrow button that pops-up) and meet up with the other player. Have him stand there while you kill him with the machine gun or rocket attachments of the Mech. To speed things up, take the whole operation over to the other player's base (you can tell by their color). Since it is a Capture the Flag game, they will always spawn there. After you get the 10th kill with the Mech, the achievement will unlock immediately. The kills do not need to be done in the same game, but there is no reason not to do so.
|Lightning Fast
|Complete level 2 in under 20 minutes
*SINGLE PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you complete Level 2 - Price of Loyalty in under 20 minutes. All time in the level counts from the minute you tap the screen to start the level, including black load screens, cut scenes, and retries of all checkpoints. Some tips:
You can see your time on the "Mission Complete" screen. On my first attempt of the level without even trying for this achievement, I got 26 minutes. On my second attempt, when going for the achievement, I got 18:30 minutes. I died once and had to replay a lengthy section. So this achievement is entirely do-able. See the playthrough of the mission below in a video by YouTube user GeGeMoN123 if you are stuck (NOTE: This is not a speed run video).
|Get 10 headshots with the sniper rifle in a Campaign level
*SINGLE PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you get 10 headshots with a sniper rifle in a single mission. The very beginning of Level 2 - Price of Loyalty, is the perfect spot for this. When prompted, head into the elevator, ride it up to the tower, and pick up the sniper rifle. There are at least 12 fairly stationary enemies to snipe. The counter for this achievement seems to include body shots as well, so if you miss a head or two, don't worry. You have to be somewhat quick, as if you are too slow and both your allies die, the mission will be failed. As soon as you hit your 10th head, the achievement unlocks.
|Complete a campaign level without ever retrying
*SINGLE PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you finish an entire campaign level from start to finish without retrying at all. Essentially this just means you cant die or pause and push "Restart Checkpoint." You will probably get this without trying while working through the campaign. The first five levels are good bets. Level 1 has a tricky defend sequence and it is quite long compared to other missions. The only potentially challenging section in Level 2 is the part where you are a gunner in the jeep. One RPG hit and you will be dead. For these reasons, it is probably best to attempt this achievement on Level 3 - Lost Ark. Just take it slow, always hiding in cover and picking off enemies when you can. Also note your surroundings as you progress since there are a few locations where you need to run and jump to avoid falling to your death.
|Blind Shot
|Kill one enemy with the sniper rifle without using the aim
*SINGLE PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you kill an enemy with the sniper rifle without using the zoom. This is best done in the earlier levels when the enemies are almost exclusively the weakest ones. Once you get a hold of a sniper rifle and some ammo, take out all of the enemies in the area you are in except one. Then, run up to the enemy with the sniper rifle equipped. Basically you want to put the barrel of the gun into the enemy's body and shoot until they are dead. It only takes one hit with a sniper to kill most enemies. The achievement will unlock the instant the enemy dies.
|Finish a level with an accuracy higher than 60%
*SINGLE PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you finish a campaign mission with 60% or higher accuracy throughout. This is best done on the earlier missions (not Mission 2, as it has a vehicle section) where the enemies are mostly all the same and weak. For this achievement you are going to want to be abusing the auto-aim of the game. When you click the zoom button, your gun will auto-aim right to an enemy on your screen if there is one. You should exclusively use the machine gun in most situations. This gun requires three body shots, or one headshot, to kill each enemy. Make sure to single tap the fire button to take single shots. Never hold your finger on the fire button as it will rapidly fire bullets. Zoom in, make the 3 shots to kill the enemy, and then double tap the zoom button to auto-lock onto the next enemy. Repeat for the entire level.
|Lone Ranger
|Complete an entire level using only the pistol
*SINGLE PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you finish an entire campaign mission using only the pistol. You can swap through your other weapons. Just make sure not to fire a bullet with any other gun. This is best attempted on Level 3 - Lost Ark, as there are no vehicle parts or sections that require the use of another weapon. Just go slow, picking off one enemy at a time. It takes two body shots with the pistol to kill most enemies (several more for the more powerful ones). You need to be somewhat close to the enemies for the pistol to be accurate. The achievement will unlock at the "Mission Complete" screen if you met the requirements.
|Buy all the upgrades available in the campaign mode
*SINGLE PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you purchase all the upgrades for your campaign character. The upgrades are only available to purchase from WITHIN a campaign mission. In the Pause Menu, you will find the Military Shop on the left side of the screen. Tap the Upgrade tab. Here you can see the five upgrades that must be purchased, which cost a total of 8,280 blue credits.
|Versatile warrior
|Kill at least one enemy with each weapon of the game in the same level
*SINGLE PLAYER ONLY* This achievement requires that you kill at least one enemy with each available weapon in the game. This achievement is first obtainable on Level 6 - Eye of the Storm, in which you will first encounter the flame thrower (sitting on a blue weapon crate directly in your path of progression near the beginning of the level). When playing through the campaign, be sure to play the levels consecutively (dont return to replay any missions; always click Continue). This practice allows you to carry-over from mission to mission all of your weapons, ammo, and grenades that you collect. Through the first five missions, save a little of each ammo for all of the weapons. Once you get the flame thrower, you can begin getting one kill with each weapon. The weapons you must get a kill with include the machine gun, pistol, shotgun, rocket launcher, grenade launcher, sniper rifle, and flame thrower. It is not confirmed as a requirement for the achievement, but you should also attempt to get kills with both the frag grenade and remote mine (run up to an enemy and throw this at their feet, it will pop up and explode if they are close to it). Grenades can be cycled just like weapons, by swiping over the equipped one. Be sure you don't die after getting a kill with a specific weapon as you will have to redo it if you did not reach a checkpoint. The achievement unlocks at the "Mission Complete" screen.
|Humanity Saved
|Complete the campaign mode
This achievement is awarded when you complete the single player campaign. There are 10 missions total, the last of which is only the final boss battle. The campaign starts out very easy, but gets significantly more challenging towards the end levels, where you constantly get bombarded with waves of strong enemies. It is in these levels that the Paralyze power (Lightning Bolt above and to the right of the fire button for the gun) becomes very useful to freeze enemies. With a little perseverance, you can get through the campaign in around 5 to 8 hours.

I started to work with hyper-v today. I setup an linux System in it.

The network devices in the virtual maschine where identified as eth0 (external network) and eth1(as internal network) eth0 works, because I can download packages from repository, so the interfaces work.
On the Linux System it is configurated to user the ip address 192.168.50.100 with the same subnet mask as above.

More than just the merger of two high-profile law firms, the announcement that BakerHostetler, of Cleveland, plans to combine with Philadelphia's Woodcock Washburn L.L.P. is part of a trend that is accelerating as the economy improves and firms fight for market share.
The combination bears all the earmarks of a strategic business play, as most law firm mergers do these days.
Growth for growth's sake is so 2007.
BakerHostetler gains new offices in Philadelphia, Seattle, and Atlanta, and nearly doubles the size of its already substantial intellectual property team, while Woodcock Washburn gets access to a powerful litigation practice and a national legal platform - key to defending all those patents you obtain for clients.

Re: Wireless no longer functionin

I have the same problem except I have a compaq presario f500. It happened about 3 days ago and the only way I get internet access is if I'm plugged in with the ethernet cord.

I have the same problem except I have a G70 467CL. It happened about 3 days ago and the only way I get internet access is if I'm plugged in with the ethernet cord. We got gremlins!
Re: Wireless no longer functionin
g - Pavilion dv6700
Can anyone offer help?
Re: Wireless no longer functionin
g - Pavilion dv6700
I have the same exact problem as DaveWBuf and flicking the switch on remains orange.
My HP is a pavilion dv6233se (product # RP158UA#ABA) and it's a few years old.
I am currently connected to the internet directly with my cable modem.
Is there a possibility that downloading the wireless adapter drivers (if possible) will solve this problem?
Is there a way of resolving this?
Can someone please offer assistance, esp. light of several other users experiencing the same problem?
Wireless no longer functionin
g - Pavilion dv9000
I have the exact same problem, but I have a HP Pavilion dv9000 (product number: GL892UA#ABL). Like everyone else, I need an ethernet cable to connect to the internet, because wireless is no longer being detected on my computer.
It happened completely randomly, using my computer fine the morning of April 01, 2011, shut it off with no issues, next morning, Saturday, April 02, 2011, I turn on my computer and there's no wireless detection.
Sadly my warranty is expired. I did have this exact same issue a few years ago, something that HP had known about and so I was able to send my computer in to get fixed at no cost to myself.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Re: Wireless no longer functionin
g - Pavilion dv6700
I also have a Pavillion dv6000. The wifi quit working so I went to Device Manager, double left clicked on Broadcom 802.11b/g WLAN, then Driver and Update Driver. It worked but would switch back and forth from WLAN ASSIST on to WLAN ASSIST disabled. Concluded two WLAN assists were competing so went to start menu and deleted WLAN ASSIST.....everything has worked fine now for 4-5 days.

I have the/a solution! Please read my post HERE. However it's not for your specific device, but it should "solve" your problems. Please make sure to download not the software/drivers listed in my post but the software/drivers for your specific notebook.
In short: your solution should/could be the HP Wireless Assistant! It can revive your wireless (button). Therefore read my link above...
Re: Wireless no longer functionin
g - Pavilion dv6700
I have a solution.
After looking at videos where a guy had to take his computer apart to fix it, I simply restored my dv6700 to factory settings (i.e. deleted everything on it) and it worked like a charm.
To do so, start up your computer and press "f11" at the black screen. From there a program will guide you through the steps to restore your computer to its original factory settings. You might want to back up some files before you do this.
Cons: As with any reformat, it of course is a pain in the ass to sit through the inductory pages since your computer thinks its being opened for the first time. You also have to download some updates which took me about 2-3 hours to download in total. Although annoying, it did get my wireless back on track, which is how i'm able to type this.
Best of luck.

Spring 2016 News
it is not too early to think about class choices for Fall 2016.
Academic advising should focus on which classes to take next, in which combination, relative to your personal schedule/commitments and your career/educational goals, etc., NOT on building the class schedule.
This is the least busy time of the term for advising officesAll Faculty and all Advising Centers get really busy when hundreds of people wait to meet until the new schedule comes out in May. Also, at the end of the term, Faculty Advisors are working on writing and grading final exams, final papers, etc.
Here are some tips:
You do not need to wait for the fall class schedule to be published. Look at the Fall 2015 schedule for an idea of what classes were offered when. Most will not change much. http://info.sjsu.edu/web-dbgen/soc-fall-courses/all-departments.html
Plan your top 4-5 classes, but also plan a couple of backups/alternates in case the top 4-5 fill before you get to register.
Check your "Holds" on the top right of your Student Center and take care of any business before your registration appointment, preferably before the end of Spring classes while everyone is still on campus. Remember that most Faculties are not on duty in the summer.
Avoid long lines, use your online resources to prep for your advising appointment, and get more personalized and in-depth advising. See your advisor NOW.

- Have you failed the WST at least twice? You can take LLD or ENGL 100A, get a C or better, and be able to move on to SJSU Studies! This class does count for degree credit.
- Check out the flowchart for Probation and Disqualification.
- New web page for Changing or Declaring a Major. Please note that students who have earned more than 90 units (counting only 70 transfer units) should apply for any change of major or minor immediately. If you have more than 90 units, please check with your Major Advisor if you wish to make changes in your program.
- We encourage students to begin at the Information for Students web page below. However, if you know what you're looking for, or can't find what you're looking for, please use the search box to the left!

1. Is there a solution to e-mail a daily digest of new posts (with categories)? One kludge is to take the RSS feed, run a clean-up script in a text editor, and paste it into an e-mail message -- but the feed, I believe, maintains only a limited number of posts rather than all by date, so that's not a reliable source.
2. Is there a way to show the type (e.g., pdf) and size of an attached file (well, mostly the size, since the type is generally in its extension)? I know I could create a custom key for it, but that's not reliable for a lot of users.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Writer/artist Jimmie Robinson has been creating and publishing his stories through Image Comics for almost 20 years. Let that just soak in for a moment. Wednesday marks the resumption of Five Weapons, his now-ongoing series set in a high school for assassins, which launched as a five-issue miniseries, but it performed so well that Jim Valentino's Image imprint Shadowline offered to make it a monthly.
In addition to discussing the transition from miniseries to ongoing with this week's Issue 6, Robinson agreed to discuss the recent Image Expo and his larger industry realization that the loss of Dwayne McDuffie left a hole that has yet to be filled. He also addresses his intentions to return to the Bomb Queen universe as well as whether he would ever write for Marvel (in particular Rocket Racer) or DC (think Chase).
As part of the Five Weapons coverage, Robinson shared several upcoming covers, plus one in-process page from Five Weapons #7. Be sure to answer the question that Robinson poses at the end of this interview in the comments section.
It shouldn't be a surprise that, on the heels of September's successful release of The Best of Milligan & McCarthy, there might be new work from Brendan McCarthy published by Dark Horse: On Wednesday, the four-part story The Deleted begins in Dark Horse Presents #32, dealing with the possibility of uploading the consciousness into a virtual world.
It's rare that I interview a creator who can provide answers that open with the phrase, "Myself and Brett Ewins, Bryan Talbot and Alan Moore were the first people to start off the new era of comics in the U.K.," so while I had the chance, we discussed more than his new story, thanks to McCarthy's willingness to give his time (and samples of his myriad works, past and present).
Action Comics is quickly becoming a fan favorite since the creative team of writer Greg Pak and artist Aaron Kuder boarded the series. With the release last week of Action Comics #27, it seemed like a good time to interview Kuder and get him to explain how his experience as a budding electrician had an influence on Lana Lang's current career choice of electrical engineering.
Last year writer/artist Jane Irwin executed a successful Kickstarter for Clockwork Game: The Illustrious Career of a Chess-Playing Automaton, a historical fiction graphic novel. I was curious to learn about her experience in getting the project successfully funded, and she was kind enough to answer my questions in this brief interview.
Wednesday sees artist Matteo Buffagni teaming with co-writers Kelly Sue DeConnick and Warren Ellis on Avengers Assemble #22, a tie-in to Marvel's "Inhumanity" event. In addition to chatting about that, Buffagni was kind enough to share a glimpse into his design process for June Covington/Toxie Doxie's new costume, revealed at the end of Avengers Assemble #21.
Tim O'Shea: For those unfamiliar with your career, how long have been working in comics?
Matteo Buffagni: I've been working at Marvel since 2010, when I started on X-23 then jumped on Daken, Ultimate Iron Man: The Demon in the Armor, Astonishing X-Men and now Avengers Assemble.
Before those assignments I attended the International School of Comics in Florence and worked on a couple of French books called Vestiges.
As part of All-New Marvel NOW!, veteran artist Lee Garbett will team in February with writer Al Ewing for Loki: Agent of Asgard, a series the god of mischief is fully grown and in the service of the All-Mother. More immediately, however, Marvel is setting the stage for the initiative with All-New Marvel NOW! Point One #1, a one-shot that arrives Jan. 8 with a Garbett-drawn Loki serving as the thread that brings together all of the stories.
In my interview with Garbett, the artist clearly relishes the opportunity to draw Asgard's new "one-man secret service" as well as work with Ewing. ROBOT 6 is also pleased to provide an exclusive page from the upcoming All-New Marvel NOW Point One.
Few have a better perspective on the making of the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark than playwright Glen Berger. He spent six years co-writing the script and has now penned a tell-all memoir about the tumultuous experience, Song of Spider-Man: The Inside Story of the Most Controversial Musical in Broadway History.
As noted on the book's back cover, one scene — in which "Green Goblin pushes a Steinway off a skyscraper only to be sent to his own death because he didn't realize he was attached to the piano by Spider-Man's webbing" — earned him the job, but it also would ultimately lead to the dismissal of director and co-writer Julie Taymor.
We cover a great deal of ground in this interview, including a brief discussion of (as he mentions in the book) his reaction to sharing a co-writer credit for the play with Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, who worked on the project for just two months. It was interesting to get Berger's perspective, particularly when comparing what it's like to develop for theater as opposed to television. I'm also curious to see what musical he's developing for Warner Bros.
Earlier this month ROBOT 6 noted that Portland, Oregon-based artist Steve Lieber appeared in a Travel Portland ad piece to promote tax-free shopping in the city. Seeing the piece made me want to know more about how Lieber became involved and what was the experience was like. Fortunately, Lieber, who's now working on The Superior Foes of Spider-Man, was able to answer my questions in a brief interview.
Tim O'Shea: How did you get tapped to do the commercial? Did you have to submit art samples before getting cast?
Steve Lieber: The agency was familiar with my work before contacting me. It was simultaneously flattering and surprising.
You may know Christy Blanch from her recent investment, along with her partner Mark Waid, in Alter Ego Comics in Muncie, Indiana, her comics education work, or her collaboration with Chris Carr, Chee and Troy Peteri on the Thrillbent series The Damnation of Charlie Wormwood.
While the comic about a college professor in a dangerous partnership for the sake of his family is on hiatus, that's about to end. Blanch and I discussed all three aspects of her busy career in this interview.
Tim O'Shea: Judging from the store's Facebook page, it's pursuing a great deal of community outreach. Are you seeing new faces shopping in the store as a result?
Christy Blanch: Mark, Jason [Pierce, the initial owner] and I are all about creating community. We want to give people a reason to come here to shop. We want them to feel like this is their clubhouse to come in and hang out, talk comics, and just be themselves. We are seeing lots of new faces. The old location was a nice store, but we really were hidden. Downtown we are very visible and we see new people every day which is a great feeling. I love it when I sell someone their first comic book especially if it is a series that I love. I always tell them I envy them because I would love to 'forget' the book and be able to read it for the first time again.
Long before we worked together, I respected Kevin Melrose's instincts on picking creators to watch. So when he advised the Robot 6 audience to read Victor Santos' webcomic Polar, I was intrigued. That interest only grew when Jim Gibbons (one of the best editors working in comics) told me Dark Horse was collecting Polar's first season in Polar: Came from the Cold (which ROBOT 6 previewed in late September); I knew I wanted to interview the Bilbao, Spain-based artist.
In addition to discussing the 160-page Polar hardcover, set for release on Dec. 11, we also touched upon the upcoming Furious, a Dark Horse miniseries with his Mice Templar collaborator Bryan J.L. Glass, set to launch on Jan. 29. (For additional Furious information, please read Albert Ching's September interview with Glass.)
Tim O'Shea: You are very clear at your website in terms of the influences that inform Polar: Came from the Cold. "The story uses a minimalistic and direct style inspired by movies like Le Samurai (Jean-Pierre Melville, 1967), Tokyo Drifter (Seijun Suzuki, 1965) or Point Blank (John Boorman, 1967) and novels like The Killer Inside Me (Jim Thompson, 1952) or The Eiger Sanction (Trevanian, 1979). Polar is also a tribute to artists like Jim Steranko, Jose Muñoz, Alberto Breccia, Alex Toth and Frank Miller." I would love to discuss each and every element of those sentences, but I will just focus on two elements. How did you first find out about films like Le Samurai? When did you read your first Steranko story, and what was it?
Victor Santos: The first Steranko book I read was the Outland adaptation. I was studying fine arts, and I hadn't really had a great deal of exposure to U.S. comics. I'd read a lot of superheroes books in my childhood, but the manga explosion of the '80 and '90s caught me just in my teenage years. Actually, it was during my university years when I discovered the great U.S. artists like Eisner, Ditko, Crumb, Toth, Caniff and dozens more (thanks to friends I met there, never the professors). I discovered an old Spanish edition of Outland in a street market. Wow, that stuff blew me away! The big panels contrasting the little panels, as well as that "heavy black lighting" … This edition was a big, European album size, so the double-page spreads are gigantic. I began to research. These were very intense years for me; I was absorbing all the American history of comics at the same time.
Dec. 11 will see the release of the latest collaboration between artist Natalie Nourigat and writer Jamie S. Rich, A Boy & a Girl, a 160-page sci-fi romance. Published by Oni Press (Diamond Order Code: JUL131213), the graphic novel is a futuristic story that considers an Earth where life-like androids are becoming just as common as real humans, and where a guy named Travis decides he just has to get a date with a girl named Charley. That spark of interest leads to a whole slew of quirky turns and revelations. I recently caught up with Nourigat, who's normally based out of Portland, Oregon's Periscope Studio but is spending a year in France, to discuss her latest work. To get a slice of the story, be sure to check out Oni's 10-page preview.
Tim O'Shea: Was there any specific element in particular about Jamie S. Rich's script that persuaded you to want to draw the story?
Natalie Nourigat: I wanted to draw the story before I even knew what the story was, because I wanted to work with Jamie again. He was really open to collaboration, and from the beginning he invited me to suggest elements that interested me to steer us into something that would be fun for both of us. I wanted a time-travel story, and then a futuristic sci-fi setting, and then the split-perspective angle as things progressed.
Of the myriad artists working at Marvel in recent years, Valerio Schiti, who kicks off a two-issue stint this week on Avengers A.I., stands out as one of those deserving a great deal more attention. I'm hard pressed to define what most appeals to me in terms of his work, but Schiti's knack for distinctive facial reactions ranks high on the list. It's also an element he and I discuss in this interview (be sure to also peruse the preview of Avengers A.I. #5 on Comic Book Resources). I hope Schiti's boundless enthusiasm for his craft, which is reflected in his work, comes across in this interview.
Tim O'Shea: The first issue of your two-issue stint (Avengers A.I. #5-6) leaps right into the deep end, as detailed in the solicitations, as Issue 5 tackles the "mind-bending origin of Alexis." How excited were you when you learned you got to tackle that in your first issue?
Valerio Schiti: It's great to have the chance to work on such a defining moment for a new character. We don't know anything about Alexis yet, even if Sam [Humphries] and André [Araùjo] introduced her. We already know what she looks like, some of her abilities but we still don't know who she really is, what's her purpose. Usually a normal writer would use a flashback sequence to answer such questions, but Sam is not a "normal" writer. He decided to take advantage of the artificial nature of Alexis to reveal something new about her in an original way, which means that is also a visually original way! I had a great fun drawing this scene and Frank [D'Armata], with his amazing talent for colors, made it spectacular.
Once in a while, when I go into the comics shop to snag my weekly pile, there will be something on the shelf that catches totally unaware. On Oct. 2, I was delighted to discover the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund's Liberty Annual 2013 (published by Image Comics). Given that all the proceeds from the book (previewed here at CBR) benefit the CBLDF, I wanted to interview Dark Horse Editor-in-Chief Scott Allie, who directed the project. While I had his attention, I couldn't pass up the chance to discuss some of the Dark Horse line as well.
Tim O'Shea: While seemingly an obvious question, I still think it worth asking: Why is it so important to you to volunteer your time for a project like the CBLDF Liberty Annual?
Scott Allie: Free speech is a near and dear cause, for me and for Dark Horse, and it's still an uphill battle for comics. There are preconceptions about this art form that invite attacks, and we need to work to defend against that. I want creators and publishers to be free to put out what they want to put out, and for retailers to sell it without fear of prosecution, for readers to travel with their books without fear of incarceration. The CBLDF isn't just about raising money in court cases. They're about educating the population about the art form we love, and I want to be a part of that.
Current Aquaman artist Paul Pelletier has a long and varied history in comics, dating back to the late 1980s. When I learned Jeff Parker would replace Geoff Johns as the series' writer (beginning with Aquaman #26), I was pleased that DC Comics chose to leave Pelletier on the title (as opposed to switching to a new art team, as frequently happens). I enjoy Pelletier's take on Aquaman, and I was surprised to learn he's not well-versed in some of the character's earlier runs (so readers, please be sure to share your favorite runs in the comments section, since the artist asked "which runs would the Aqua-fans recommend?"). It was a unique opportunity, prior to the October 23 release of Aquaman #24, to chat with the veteran artist as he transitions from collaborating with one veteran writer to another. Plus, I enjoyed hearing about Pelletier's appreciation of basketball legend Larry Bird.
Tim O'Shea: Once you realized Arthur would be sporting a beard again, did you draw a couple of versions of beards (goatee versus full beard) or did you and Geoff always have one look in mind when it came to Aquaman's facial hair?
Paul Pelletier: When Geoff wrote Aquaman with the beard, it was a result of Arthur being unconscious for six months, so I figured it wouldn't be too stylized. A full beard that wasn't too manicured made sense to me. Now if the beard was to remain, then we might have to think about something a bit more tailored to Arthur.
I first became aware of colorist Steve Downer due to his work on MonkeyBrain Comics' Edison Rex. But as I quickly learned, he serves as colorist on a variety of projects, as well as artist on Dracula the Unconquered. Given the variety of Downer's projects, I thought it would be insightful to discuss his craft with him.
Tim O'Shea: How long have you been a colorist?
Steve Downer: I've been working full-time as a colorist since 2009, though I started coloring as a side job much earlier, in 2007, while I worked as a T-shirt graphic designer.

Computer-mediated communication (CMC) is a keystone of computer-supported collaborative work. Current CMC theory utilizes an information channel metaphor in which media vary according to how well they afford the transfer of messages in the channel, i.e., bandwidth. This paper draws attention to a different aspect of communication argued to be equally important: a relation between people that defines a state of communicative readiness in which fruitful communication is likely. Drawing on research on instant messaging (Nardi et al., 2000) and face to face communication (Nardi et al., 2002; Nardi and Whittaker, 2003), as well as related literature, three dimensions of connection that activate readiness are proposed: affinity, commitment, and attention. These dimensions comprise a field of connection between dyads. A field of connection is conceptualized as a labile, multidimensional space in which the values of the dimensions vary according to the history of communicative activity. Affinity, commitment, and attention are constantly monitored, negotiated, and managed through social bonding, expression of commitment, and capture of attention. The management of fields of connection requires significant interactional work to sustain communication over time.

Yeah, the above math problem checks out, as each Pete Rock, RJD2, and Maseo of De La Soul will collaborate on indie rock outfit Yo La Tengo's Here to Fall Remixes, which drops on June 8th on Matador Records. The trio will remix the track "Popular Songs". We hear Pete's rhyming on this one – but who's on the beat, Pete or RJ? And is RJ singing the hook? We'll know soon enough.

text: New Art Patrons The Bay Area's tech entrepreneurs are getting increasingly involved in supporting the arts. Updated March 1, 2013 11:49 a.m. ET fullscreen Next week, San Francisco will unveil a major public art installation using 25,000 energy-efficient lights to illuminate the city's Bay Bridge in countless abstract combinations. The Bay Lights, set to run every night for two years, will also spotlight a new role for the area's tech entrepreneurs: patrons of the arts. Shown here is the artist Leo Villareal, who designed the bridge's light patterns using custom software he created. Winni Wintermeyer for The Wall Street Journal … The $8 million computer-assisted light sculpture is emblematic of a new breed of artist that is especially attractive to wealthy technology executives. Winni Wintermeyer for The Wall Street Journal … San Francisco art adviser Sabrina Buell is a Stanford graduate and former New York gallery director who helps tech honchos — some of them old college pals — begin collecting art. Winni Wintermeyer for The Wall Street Journal … 44-year-old internet entrepreneur Trevor Traina stands with Andreas Gursky's "Ayamonte." Mr. Traina says, 'An engineer will look at a photograph or video art in a way a banker couldn't—we think in ones and zeros, we think in terms of screens.' Simon Upton/The Interior Archive … Doug Rickard, a favorite of tech collectors, photographs his computer monitor after trolling for Google street views of depressed city neighborhoods, such as the Bronx, shown here. Doug Rickard/Stephen Wirtz Gallery, San Francisco … San Francisco investor Art Berliner, managing director of Walden Venture Capital, has an eclectic collection that includes work by Israeli artist Michal Rovner. Shown here is a piece by Ms. Rovner from Mr. Berliner's collection entitled "Shayara, 2012." Michal Rovner/Pace Gallery … Shown here is the piece "50 Different Minds" by Ligorano/Reese that is made with woven fiber optic tapestry, custom hardware and software. The work is owned by New York dotcom entrepreneur Robert Bielecki, who purchased it from San Francisco art dealer Catharine Clark. Ligorano/Reese/Catharine Clark Gallery/Nora Ligorano … In his series 'The Valley,' photographer Larry Sultan creates circus-like settings in the same suburban California homes used in the 1990s adult-film industry. Large works go for about $25,000. Mr. Traina is among his collectors. Shown here is Mr. Sultan's "Tasha'a Third Film, 1999," from the series 'The Valley.' Larry Sultan/Stephen Wirtz Gallery, San Francisco … A veteran of the 1990s street art scene, the one-time skater dude Chris Johanson occasionally dumpster dives for the found materials he uses in his color-swirled paintings, which range from $15,000 to $60,000 a piece. 'A lot of younger people at Apple are really into Chris,' said San Francisco art dealer Claudia Altman-Siegel. Shown here is Mr. Johanson's "Now I Know That the Best Place For A Starfish Is In the Ocean, 2011." Chris Johanson/Altman Siegel, San Francisco … Taryn Simon's work is popular within the tech community. Her latest series is built around the New York Public Library's picture files, which grouped thousands of images by theme—like a Google search before there was a Google. The works in that series are priced between $35,000 and $80,000. Shown here is a piece entitled "Folder: Express Highways." Alison Pincus, co-founder of home décor web retailer One Kings Lane, owns an earlier work by the artist. Taryn Simon Projects, 2012 … Conrad Ruiz's 'juice paintings,' priced between $5,000 and $15,000, feature details of waves crashing on the California coast and are named after real and fictitious energy drinks. Three such works sold to tech collectors, including a blue canvas titled "Passion Squirt," said San Francisco dealer Jessica Silverman. Conrad Ruiz/Jessica Silverman Gallery … William Eggleston, age 73, is widely considered the first to elevate color photography to high art, and his works are now considered blue-chip investments, selling for up to $250,000. Techies are chasing the photographs, said New York dealer Adam Sheffer. 'He has the stamp of approval from all the great museums in the world and they only see the market climbing.'
