Round up: Friday 18 December 2009
In the post about the Audio and Music Interactive departmental the other day we covered Radio 1's Meet the Listeners day where people could send in for free an MMS message of themselves to build up a picture of the station's users (NB: The promised video is now live and very good too.) Ewan on the Mobile Industry Review website has written the critical (and be warned, fairly foul-mouthed) Radio 1 Free MMS day: Great idea, 3 years too late about the day. James Simcock, a BBCer who worked on the project has responded in the comments.
The Death of the BBC is Adrian Hon's interesting post that's attracted some good comments on what the BBC is and isn't doing online and what Hon thinks it should be doing:
There are many good people at the BBC who are fully capable of commissioning original, high quality, public service games. They're smart, they're skilled, and they're motivated by a real desire to help people, but they're hamstrung by the lack of a coherent and consistent games strategy. I have yet to see any BBC games strategy be articulated, and believe me, I have asked many times over the past few years.
"We Record the Voices in Your Head"Say What You Want to Hear, a series of two plays on Radio 4 in the new year, is after your contributions to develop their story. Here's the pitch:
It's time to write down those secret things you regularly say to yourself or wish that other people would just come out and say. We'll record them for you (using voices that may surprise and delight you) and all of us can finally hear what's going on inside each others' heads.There are some great examples on the site, and this is the one that the Internet blog wishes it'd come up with.
"I no longer have any idea of what's going to happen"New Media Age's Nigel Walley in Is internet-enabled TV not a dodo after all? writes:
So as someone who earns his living forecasting media change, I'd like to declare that all bets are off. The world has clearly gone mad and I no longer have any idea of what's going to happen.So hold that thought in the season of round ups, reviews and predictions of the year/decade next time someone tells you they're the digital Nostradamus. (NB: We'll be doing our round up next week).
On the Radio Labs blog there's an update on Windows Media and Listen again that some of you will find useful:
I wanted to give you some information on the status of our tests of the Listen Again service in Windows Media. This will be available for UK and International users, as a replacement to the RealMedia offering (which is being deprecated) - and will cover National, Nations and Local radio services.

Another post got me thinking...anyone decide not to get pregnant again because the preemie experience was too much? I have also seen threads in the debate board saying that since I was a micropreemie mom it would be selfish for me to put any other pregnancy through that same risk and I should never try to have biological children again...Since this was my first we decided that once we get dd caught up to her actual age or close to we will try again but that if we have another micropreemie we are done and will adopt 2 more down the road.
What does everyone else think?

Phil Steele has published his 2010 college football strength of schedule rankings. Iowa State has the toughest schedule in 2010, while Middle Tennessee has the easiest.
In 2009, South Carolina had the toughest schedule according to Steele. The Gamecocks finished the season 7-6 overall and 3-5 in the SEC. The easiest schedule in 2009? Kent State, and they finished 5-7 and 4-4 in the MAC.
Listed below are Phil Steele's 10 toughest schedules for 2010 (complete list):
A Big 12 school owns the toughest schedule, but the SEC and Pac-10 have three teams each in the The Top 10. The ACC has two schools, followed by the Big Ten with one.
The rest of the Top 25 in Phil Steele's toughest schedule rankings are:
(11) Florida State, (12) Vanderbilt, (13) Washington State, (14) NC State, (15) Alabama, (16) Penn State, (17) Notre Dame, (18) Florida, (19) Auburn, (20) Colorado, (21) Illinois, (22) Oklahoma, (23) Texas A&M, (24) North Carolina, (25) UNLV
What do you think of Phil Steels's rankings? Discuss them in the comments below.
Tennessee should be in there somewhere they play Oregon Florida at LSU Alabama at UGA and at South Carolina
Like most schedule ranking, Steele's are fundamentally flawed as they fail to take into account quality of competition. They simply take into account opponents win loss when they, at a minimum take to the next level and account for opponents schedules as well.
Are you kidding me? I bought Steele's magazine and I can tell you he is dead wrong
San Jose State,based on the talent on hand,has by FAR the roughest schedule
at Alabama
at Wisconsin
at Utah
mix in Boise State and Fresno State and thats a ballcrushing schedule from hell….
San Jose State? Really?
I'll give you Bama, Wisconsin, and Boise. Maybe Utah. Fresno???
Then throw in Southern Utah, UC Davis, Nevada, NM State, Utah St, Hawaii, La Tech, and Idaho.
clearly. I don't see how that's not the hardest schedule in the nation!!! By far!!!!! hahaha.
I have to throw Alabama in there because everyone they play this year has a bye week before they play them.Add to the fact they are the reining champs and predicted to win it again and the target on their back is bigger than they are.For that reason,they should have the hardest schedule in the country.
PS.I'm a GAMECOCK FAN
Look at LSU. They play a tough SEC west schedule, plus Florida and Tennessee. Out of conference they open with North Carolina and later play West Virginia. No one has that type of schedule.
miami faces 6 top 25 teams, and still plays usf and clemson nobody has a tougher schedule
Sorry but I have to throw in my hat for the Wyoming Cowboys. They face Texas on the road, Boise St. at home and TCU again on the road. That's 3 top 10 preseason teams in the first 6 weeks. Utah is a top 25 team, BYU could potentially break the top 25 as well. That's a pretty brutal schedule for any team.
I totally agree! 5 of there first 6 games were all against top 25 teams, and let alone, at that time 3 of them were in the top 5! I understand there in the mtn west but for them to not be in the top 25 for toughest schedules is absolutely unreal.
iowa state plays 2 good teams how can u say they have the hardest schedule? are u retarded? imma clemson fan and our schedule is three times harder and bama and miami play like seven really good teams.
ill give u three good teams
boise state is a joke… i swear to god if they go to the bcs game im gonna cry. they suck
Really dude? Grow up there for real. What else do they need to prove to you? You obviously know little to nothing about college football.
Boise State plays NOBODY… Sure they dominate the teams they play, but that's like varsity playin pee-wee teams. Of course they'll win, but until they play a much rougher schedule, we can't say for sure they are a truly awesome team and deserve a title shot. Roll tide!!
True, we cant say for sure that theyre deserving. but we also cant say that they arent AS GOOD. they may not deserve a chance, in that they havent battled like AQ teams, but they may very well be just as good fi not better then every other team in the country. Other then maybe having too rough a time against V-Tech and Ore-st, there is no evidence that they arent as good of a team. Nowhere along the line have they slipped up, they continue to beat every team they play. Unfortunately for them those teams arent consistently good enough for Boise to prove their worth. We wont know untill they schedule the absolute best teams in the country for their out of conference sched, or just join a different conference. That, or we get a !@#$!@# playoff system.
1. Alabama should have been higher up there. They play in the SEC, and for their last 6 conference games the team they play has a bye week before. They also have the target of being the team to beat and should draw everyone's best game.
2. Boise State is not a joke, anyone who doesn't realize the genius of a team that wins EVERYTHING is a moron. They do not have a strong schedule, but they find ways to win every single game, including their bowls against "better" teams. No matter how "good" a team is, if they find a way to win EVERY game they are the best.
3. Iowa State definitely has the hardest schedule, if you want to move someone else onto this list and have a good point, sure, but anyone who doesn't think Iowa State should be #1 on this list has 0 knowledge of college football.
3b. IOWA has a hard schedule but should go 10 and 3, a "neutral site" game against KANSAS STATE who should go 10 and 3, TEXAS TECH who is under a new coach and not at it's top game but should go 9 and 4 at the worst, UTAH has a weak schedule but will be going 12 and 1 with 2 top 25 wins and the bowl win, @ OKLAHOMA who will go 12 and 2 in the Big 12, @ TEXAS who are young, but will go 9 and 4 at the worst, NEBRASKA who will go 13 and 1 and win the Big 12, @ COLORADO is still a road game and will go 8 and 5, and then bring in MIZZOU (who will go 11 and 2) to close out the season. That is a ridiculously hard schedule. 7 of them will have 9+ wins in the Big 12, and Iowa and Utah will have 10 and 12 wins respectively with significant challenges on their schedule. Iowa state by far has the hardest schedule.
4. Cory you are a moron.
Nice predictions. You need all those teams to win out to match your predictions other than Utah. And I love how you're giving all of them bowl wins, not knowing at all who they will play. I think you're the moron, not Cory.
Tennessee, first they play in sec, the best conference, second they played soon to be national chapions Oregon and finally south Carolina has not got the 2nd best in the nation
Alabama by far has the toughest schedule of any college team. They play 5 games against SEC teams who are coming off of bye-weeks. Show me another team in any level of football who is playing a schedule like that. Even if the teams are not in the top 25, it is still the SEC, no other conference has the upsets every year that the SEC has, so the toughest schedule every year should be from the SEC.
the pac ten consistently has crazy upsets. i think that the SEC has the most strength at the top, but the PAc ten is sometimes deeper. this year a number of teams have struggled, but last year, and i expect, next year, there will be incredible depth. Wash state is consistently crap. but they have definitely been competitive this year against good teams, and i expect growth from them. Calis an upset machine at home and just got the 15th ranked recruiting class. Ucla is still rebuilding but has some random and very quality wins this year against texas and Houston. Washington went 5-7 last year, Keith price played well against oregon, and their running game is getting going fast. with sarkesian at the helm i expect a very solid team out of washington, soon. USC… is USC. regardless of kiffen, sanctions, their shit defense.. anything, theyre always going to be USC. and just pulled in another amazing class. OREGON IS A BEAST. Oregon state is solid. Arizona state is solid. Arizona is solid. THE WHOLE CONFERENCE COMPETES. ITS UNDENIABLE. PAC 10 = deepest conference. oh and we just added utah, so that should add some talent
Arkansas after this season is all said and done will have played 10 bowl teams…how many other schools besides maybe bama can say that?
I'm a Razorback fan, I notice that 6 teams that the Hogs play are listed in your top 25 list,how is it that they get no mention on your ranking?
On the other end of the spectrum, Auburn has had the easiest schedule in the SEC, and a much easier schedule than any national championship contender should have. That explains a lot of their success this season (that and their criminal quarterback). They played a total of only 4 road games, and they won 3 of those by 3 points or less. Of course, it's always difficult for an SEC team to win every regular season game, but ANY of the 6 ranked SEC teams could have an undefeated season with a schedule like Auburn's. If Oregon and Auburn play for the national championship, Oregon will destroy them.
what about n.d? every team but one is bowl eligible that they played. they played stanford,michigan,mich st,utah.usc,at boston college and pitt. not saying top ten but where do they fall.
nevermind missed at 17
Where's Bama?! They had a really rough schedule this year. Every team they played had a bye-week right before it! Plus, with them winning the championship last year, every team knows they have to play their best to beat them, placing a big target on their backs. I think there should be more SEC teams on here in general, all of them play some of the best teams in the country. I know LSU played at least 5 of the teams that ended up being in the top 25, and how many did teams TCU play? Hardly any, if none!! TCU just bothers me the most, every week they just breeze on by playing horrible teams, and LSU and Bama, both good teams, lose a couple because they're playing the top teams in the country, and drop on down the rankings, behind TCU. So what if they're undefeated? Every team in the SEC would be too if they had schedules like that…
lsutigr: 15 bonehead
Trying to find access to current strength of schedule rankings; can you suggest a resource or do you have updated rankings to date available? Thnx for your Insight.

Artist: Henry Mosler (1841–1920)
Date: 1870
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 29 x 36 1/2 in. (73.7 x 92.7 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Arthur Hoppock Hearn Fund, 1962
Accession Number: 62.80
Mosler's canvas represents home as a haven in which the perfect American family still presides, even in humble surroundings and amidst the jumble of unpacking after a move. The tender, nurturing mother and the "breadwinner" father providing sustenance signify the pillars of a family that is stable and happy despite its modest means. At a time when American cities were being challenged by increasing immigration, crime, and poverty, Mosler reassured art viewers of the power of the family unit and the potential for a more diverse national character once the Union was solidified. Just Moved displays the rich palette, high degree of finish, and lucid narrative that characterize painting in the Düsseldorf academy, where Mosler had studied from 1863 to 1866.

The patents Medivation owns and licenses don't protect Xtandi® because a competing pharmaceutical company, Chugai Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., has a superior and earlier patent to the same drug. With this superior patent, Chugai Pharma can exert its rights over Xtandi® at any time, destroying Medivation in the process. We invite you to read our full report, which fully covers all the details that led us to these conclusions. Go to "scribd", the digital document library, and search for document "153462932". We believe it will be worth your time and money.
Sentiment: Strong Sell
If what your claiming turns out to be in fact true then Chugai Pharma's WO 2006/028226 patent estate annihilates Medivation's claims to Xtandi® and exclusive rights to Xtandi® accrue to Chugai Pharma. The result of this transfer of rights implies that Chugai Pharma would exclude Medivation from the Xtandi® market and MDVN would become a black hole for investors. As this report gains visibility the stock could suffer significant damage which would take time to repair even if Chugi' were to lose the patent claim.
Wait a minute. You're saying that New Improved Chugai WO2006/028226 with Miracle Ingredient X509 actually cures prostate cancer AND gets out stubborn grease stains?!! I'm going to tell all my friends!
Sadly, yes, that is what we believe.
Judging by price action today, UBS's dramatic upgrade looks like cover for their trading desk to lighten up. The timing is too coincidental to be so, much more likely that they got wind of the patent issue and decided to lighten their bet hence the not so dramatic pop early and the fade the rest of the day.
Not to forget MDVNs only pilpeline Xtandi is an overpriced piece of #$%$ that is 10 times less effective than cheaper rivals from JnJ/ARN
Ah, the eminent biologist, melonhead, checks in with his authoritative opinion. Should have sold those puts when MDVN was under 45 just 3 weeks ago, melonhead.

Debian Snapshots Provide Package History
The Debian project provides a new snapshot service to access old package versions in their repository.
With the new shapshot.debian.org archive, administrators, developers and advanced users can view and install packages and their sources from every Debian distro version at any point of time. The snapshot archive is organized by date and version number. The project sees its benefit in tracking down regressions or specific application environments. It also recommends that administrators use the new snapshots to test upgrade paths in staging before putting apps into production and in environments with stringent change control.
The snapshot archive is a "kind of time machine for Debian archives," Alexander Reichle-Schmehl of the Debian press team revealed to Linux Magazine. "You can 'rewind' the package status of the archive. Others, for example, can revert to the exact package state where they were certified. Pretty practical." The project itself uses the snapshots, for example when diagnosing a particular problem.
The snapshot archive contains all Debian packages and their source since May of 2005, including debian-main and debian-security, but excludes a few packages removed because of licensing problems. It is accessible like any normal apt repository.
For snapshot service hosting, the project decided on the Electrical and Computer Engineering department of the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, and the Welcome Trust Sanger Institute that does genetic research in the U.K. As far as a win-win situation, apparently NordicBet online casino gaming licensed by the Lotteries and Gaming Authority of Malta found that it wouldn't hurt to provide the Debian project with needed hardware.
Go Debian!Although I use SUSE, Debian was on the first distros that I have heard of when I discovered Linux back in 2004. Innovation, insight, and guidance are some of what Debian is known for.

I hope you had fun!!
I did!
I'm a little sorry I missed that X Men poll, though; I definitely would have shown Colossus some love.
I misread "Which title has had the highest percentage of great stories?" when I first saw it and thought it said "Which title has had the most great stories?" so I voted for Spider-Man.
Amazing Spider-Man?
Because the Flash Wally West series was essentially crappy to kick off, but then we had Messner-Loebs, Waid, Morrison, and Johns in rapid succession.
Daredevil definitely didn't have that batting average. Spider-Man definitely doesn't either.
Those Justice League results are surprising, to say the least. Martian Manhunter 21% most disliked, while 40% Black Lantern wanted alive. 11% Superman most liked, I wouldn't have called that. 17% for Green Lantern, I still don't see the appeal.
To be fair, the only other member of the original JLA represented on the Black Lantern poll was Aquaman, who is apparently both more hated and less well-liked, according to the above.
But yeah, those are the really interesting results. It seems odd that Wonder Woman is still considered part of the trinity, given that she's only slightly less hated than the two members who can't support their own books and has the least love of anyone. Histocial significance, I guess. Also, Superman, while not particularly hated, doesn't appear to be particularly loved either. It perhaps lends some validity to those "he's so white bread" criticisms, but I also suspect that some people were voting based on how well he fit in with the team.
I am the only one who suspects Howard Porter got a big boost because of the writer he was paired with?
Much love for Kurt! Like it.
Also enjoying the dichotomy of J'onn being second least liked and third most liked in the LJ lineup. Well, he's my favourite anyway.
Andy, don't forget that these polls only measure the oppinion of the Internet hardcore fans.
I very much doubt Nightcrawler is more liked than Wolverine by the general comic-reading public (not to mention the general public, period).
I have to admit that what surprised me the most is Spider-Man having the greatest percentage of good stories. I think he had the LEAST percentage of the four titles mentioned. I also can't see why people like Ben Reilly. Must be an age thing, lots of people starting reading comics in the 1990s.
Xorn is Magneto got more votes than i thought possible…
Has George Perez got some massive history with the JLA that I'm unaware of? All I know of is Avengers/JLA which isn't nearly enough to qualify as definitive
No love for the Caulder reveal makes me sad. Did enough people not read that amazing run of Doom Patrol?
And I doubt that many people reading the Watchmen were actually surprised to see Ozy as the bad guy. I think most anyone reading that comic has the ending spoiled to them one way or another.
Yay for Alfred though. Way to kick ass, sir, way to kick ass.
I thought Caulder as a bad guy didn't add much to the story and was poorly telegraphed. I love those comics, though! I voted for 'other' but for the life of me can't remember what I put…
I mean, "was foreshadowed in a clumsy and obvious way." Because "poorly telegraphed" doesn't really make sense.
Holy crap, Nightcrawler won? Awesome!
Even where I disagree it is a simple difference of opinion….
Amazing Spider-man having a HIGHER PERCENTAGE of great stories than Hellblazer?!?
I am assuming that most people misread the question….
People had to read the ASM question wrong. I was expecting a little more disdain towards Green Lantern. Ah well. And yes, we on the internert love Nightcrawler, but only swashbuckling Nightcrawler, not angsty, religious Nightcrawler.
Amen Matt. Swashbuckling Nightcrawler is sorely missed.
I am surprised Hellblazer finished as low as it did. Unexpected.
Rusty, people didn't misread the question they just don't read Hellblazer.
It actually saddens me that Dick Dillin got so little respect. Sure he wasn't the most famous nor was he the most talented name on the list, but damn it the man IS the definitive JLA artist for an entire generation. George Perez literally did less than 25 JLA issues. Same with Porter ( who should bow down and kiss Dilins cold dead you-know-what). Jla was the man's lifes work, people. sheesh.
I'm, uh, pretty sure I voted for Batman on both JLA polls. I think I misread the "least favorite" one as "favorite". 'Cause I remember seeing one or the other and thinking, "didn't they just ask this a few days ago?"
Perez is a fantastic artist, but I don't see how he could be considered the DEFINITIVE artist for any iteration of the League. He only illustrated, what, maybe a dozen issues of the ongoing series and JLA/Avengers?

Less than 25? More like less than 12, as my memory serves (plus, in fairness, a whole lot of covers). This can't be anything other than name recognition. Dillin's 120-some issue run (with only one or two missed issues) definitely deserved top place here.
I own well over 200 Justice League books, highest percentage Obviously by Dillin, ( if you are gonna argue for the man, spell it right people). Although I love his work, Perez has him beat, doesn't matter how many issues he drew. The layouts, storytelling, detail, the man is amazing. I still say his and Conway's issues together are the best, New Gods, Shaggy Man, Royal Flush Gang, Secret Society of Super-Villians, JSA cross-overs, and especially the Red Tornado origin, and this doesn't even take into account his work on JLA/Avengers, Crisis, and the New Teen Titans cross-over, Dillin is the definitive Blackhawks artist, but George beats him out on JLA for me. Kinda surprised that the Elf beat Wolvie, but I love them both. Really enjoying X-Men Forever and seeing these characters treated and used correctly. Dumbest decision ever in comics was Bob Harras choosing Jim Lee over Clearmont.
Thunderbolts over Ozymandius…really…really…REALLY?!?!?!
How many copies of the Thunderbolts TPBs get sold every year? Stupid internet polls.
Wow, aside from Alfred and the Elf, nothing this week went the way I voted. I went for Barry least and Hal most, just said no on Ben Reilly, and voted for the Darkseid reveal, the DD run, Dick Dillin and Destiny.
Watchmen was a great comic but Ozy wasn't much of a surprise — Thunderbolts was indeed a surprise but I wasn't all that involved in the fresh new team on the block and just thought, "Oh, that's clever." But the Great Darkness Saga blew my mind when I read it the first time.
I love Perez's stuff but he hardly ever did JLA, whereas Dillin's long and awfully strong run totally defined that comic, and thus was definitive by definition.
Has anyone gone back and looked in the greatest % of stories thread and seen how many people said they voted for Spider-Man?
I was really shocked on that one. For the record I voted Flash but if I were to rank them I'd put Spider-Man last.
Though I haven't read enough Hellblazer to have that good a handle on it.
These seem to really indicate the age level of the average voter. Ben Reilly is a good character, Nightcrawler's their favorite X-man, and teh Thunderbolts reveal tops Watchmen or Nixon as the evil mastermind.
How many people here were pubescents reading comics in the nineties?
The Ozymandias reveal was pretty easy to guess in Watchmen IMO. I don't think it was meant to be a last page surprise anyway.
According to wikipedia, Porter drew 34 issues of JLA (with Morrisson and Waid).
Perez drew 10 issues. News to me.
In addition to the issues where he drew interiors, Perez was the cover artist for another large handful of that era's JLA issues.
I'll admit that the JLA artist one was a bit of an experiment on my part. I was curious to see what would happen when I asked a question that really actually HAD a "correct" answer, and then see if the voters picked the "correct" answer.
And as you see, they did not.
It doesn't MATTER how many issues Perez or Porter or Dillin drew. The question isn't who drew the longest run of JLA comics, it's who was the 'Definitive' JLA artist. The definitive visual portrayal of the characters. Perez has a legitimate claim to that title, regardless of how many issues Dillin drew. The JLAers as drawn by Perez were in fact more distinctive and iconic than they were when drawn by Dillin, IMHO.
And before someone suggests that I only say this because I'm not the right age or whatever, let me clarify that Dillin's JLA was the first JLA I ever read when I was a kid; I grew up with Dillin's version of the JLA. But the Perez version was visually more definitive.
Honestly thought Xorn was a contender for no. 1 spot, but it placed really low. But I agree Thunderbolts deserves that spot.
Agree with people that Spider-Man should rank last on the % question.
Surprised that Nightcrawler beat Wolverine, but hey, good for him!
Good for Jarvis for ranking as high as he did, I was worried he was going to be stuck in single digits.
And I sympathize with folks arguing Perez didn't do enough JLA, all I know is he's the artist I think of for definitive JLA (for that matter, definitive DC) so he got my vote. The guy makes quite an impression.
I view 'definitive artists' like a word association game. If I give you the name of a character or team and ask you who is the first artist you think of, THAT'S the definitive artist.
I can see how Perez could be considered the definitive artist for JLA, but not for his work on JLA. If he deserves the title, it's because of things like Crisis on Infinite Earth and the fact that Perez has gone out of his way to draw EVERY SINGLE CHARACTER in DC's catalog. You might as well say Perez is the definitive artist on The Doom Patrol.
Great Hera! It's ok Wonder Woman. You're still not just my favorite League member, but my favorite comic character.
As a kid Perez was my favorite comics artist, and I was always excited on the rare occasions when he'd draw an issue of JLA — and disappointed when I'd pick up a beautiful Perez JLA cover and find simply adequate work by Don Heck inside. When he did his JLA work Perez was almost exclusively the Teen Titans artist, and it was a rare treat to see him doing something else.
But it was Dillin's long tenure on the title that got me into JLA, and by extension into comics because (along with Garcia-Lopez's work on DC Comics Presents) Satellite-era JLA was really my gateway drug into reading comics at all. It set the scene for everything I'd later discover.
Yes! Nightcrawler beat the highly overated Wolverine! I thought he had a good chance of winning after reading all the comments, but I was still worried.
I assumed from all the comments, though, that Spider-Man would come in last. I am so thrilled to see that he won. So I'm not the only one who voted for him.
I know this was only for one month, but there are still lots of great potential poll questions. You should start writing down all the good questions you can think of, Brian, and then do this again in December.
Regarding Ozzymandias, I would agree that it seemed quite clear that he was behind everything (and I was not spoiled). For me the great reveal there was the "Five minutes ago". Couldn´t believe that someone got to do that thing in a comic book. No wonder Watchmen is a classic.
And regarding Nightcrawler love, I believe that he may be loved by comic audience, but he was not in the 90´s cartoon nor in 2 of the 3 X movies. Wolverine is by far a more popular character, but I kind of got tired of him because of overexposure.
Is Perez the definitive DC artist then? Infantino? Swan? Kane? Cardy?
That may be a good question for next year…
I'm sure part of the X-Men vote is Wolvereverything backlash, but even when I loooved Wolverine when I was 12, Kurt was my favorite.
And as for the Ozymandias reveal, in 1986 the hero-turns-heel trope was not so well worn as it is now. I remember it being a shock then, but now when I reread it or have students read it for the first time, it seems to be more apparent.
I'm sure he'd take Wonder Woman and Teen Titans without breaking a sweat, but I'd be curious to see if Perez could take out King Kirby as the definitive Avengers artist. My guess would be yes, but that would be one heated discussion.
I think that some of the answers depend on the interpretation of the question. For example, I didn't really like Wolverine until the Kitty Pryde and Wolverine mini-series. Since the question listed the All New team, and not the team that was around when I became a Wolvie fan, I didn't vote for him.
Also, I voted for which characters I liked / didn't like in the JLA, not which characters I liked / didn't like who happened to be the Big 7 members of the JLA.
As for Ozy, I think that at least part of it is what I call "metagaming." You role players know the term as using out of character knowledge for your character. I mean it here using the reader's knowledge of how this type of story usually progresses to create or discount otherwise legitimate clues. Nowadays it is quite the trope for the former hero to be the villan. But, at the time, the fact that Ozy was a good guy in the flashbacks gave him an out of character alibi.
It is kinda like watching What Lies Beneath (Warning, spoilers for a 9-year old movie) and discounting the possibility that Harrison Ford's character could be the bad guy on the basis that he almost always plays the hero.
Hey Hangman Jury:
Flash was great when it kicked off. Baron is a stud. Guice is awesome. Mahlstedt is pretty cool too, but he was better inking GIffen. That's all.
How did Hellblazer not win?
I strongly suspect Perez would take out Kirby as the definitive Avengers artist.
But John Buscema would give them both a run for their money (there, now the debate's even more heated!).
"I'm sure he'd take Wonder Woman and Teen Titans without breaking a sweat, but I'd be curious to see if Perez could take out King Kirby as the definitive Avengers artist. My guess would be yes, but that would be one heated discussion."
"I strongly suspect Perez would take out Kirby as the definitive Avengers artist.

Wow! That'd be a great pooll! I love them all, but John Buscema is at the top of my all-time favorites!
I mean, if ask about THE DEFINITIVE Avengers artist
1 – John Buscema
2 – Jack Kirby (right behind Buscema but way ahead of:
3 – George Perez
In retrospect, it seems like sales figures are the best predictor of where a title fell in the "best stories" poll. I agree that Hellblazer is the clear, actual winner there, but the explaination could be as simple as "more people read it, so more people voted for it."
The surprise then is not that Hellblazer didn't win; it's that it beat the Flash.
Mind you, I love me some Neal Adams. And Al Milgrom … seems like a nice guy.
Nightcrawler ALWAYS beats Wolveirne in these polls. I figure it's hard for people to claim such a popular, over-used character as a #1 favorite; people usually put Wolverine on their short list of favorite X-Men but they choose someone they feel they have a more personal connection with, someone who's not loved by EVERYbody, as #1.
On the least favorite JLAer poll, the mean was 14.3% and the Standard Deviation was 11.9%. Wonder Woman got the closest to the "random" result at 15%. The only really meaningful result was poor Aquaman all the way out at 38%. While the 1,842 respondents were not randomly selected that is not a bad sample size considering the size of the direct market.
On the favorite JLAer poll, the mean was again 14.3%. However, the standard deviation was 8%. The most averagely beloved JLAer was The Flash. There were more significant results. Folks love them some Batman in the JLA. They also feel the most tepidly about Wonder Woman and Aquaman. The sample size was 27% smaller at 1,345.
So, we have learned that comic fans would rather rip things on the Internet than praise them. That means creators should pretty well ignore about a third of the negative comments. They come from folks that are never reading whatever they are critiquing anyway.
Also, Aquaman is easily the least popular member of the original JLA and that while most people like Wonder Woman just fine very few love her. That suggests the 'Big 7′ Justice League could use another female member and the logical slot is Aquaman's.
In other words, Bruce Timm did his market research prior launching his "Justice League" animated series.
Neal Adams… Man, I love hlm, but he draw just a few issues with the Avengers (five, maybe?), the Kree-Srull war. Not enough to make him a relevant artist for the series, like he did with Batman.
Neal Adams… Man, I love hlm, but he draw just a few issues with the Avengers (five, maybe?), the Kree-Srull war. Not enough to make him a relevant artist for the series, like he did with Batman.
So Neal Adams is to the Avengers as George Perez is to the Justice League. By which I mean, awesome.
Definitive is a tricky term. If you're the artist on JLA, it's a lot easier to provide definitive versions of Booster Gold, Ice, and Guy Gardner than it is to provide definitive versions of Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman.
I went Crypt Keeper myself, but I'm really surprised at the low placement of the Old Witch from The Haunt of Fear. Also, poor Sunfire.
I've never seen so sad a thing as the people here getting worked up over the results of opinion poles. Aquaman is my favorite JLAer. I am not about to whine that others don't seem to agree with me.
I envy your sheltered life. I've seen some sad things in my day.
This was a really fun 'event' Brian!
I'd love it if you did it again – preferably without a year long wait!
As far as the "favorite X-Man" question, I think word choice is really important with these things. The question wasn't who we thought was the BEST character, but our favorite. When I see "who's your favorite," it makes me think of who I would most like to have a beer with, who would definitely be Nightcrawler, because (and I think we can all agree on this) Logan is a whiny little bitch.
I've never seen so sad a thing as the people here getting worked up over the results of opinion poles.
I can top that – people who posted in the comments of the polls about how they love a character so much they voted for him ten times.
That's sad beyond sad – rigging an inconsequential opinion poll for the benefit (though I'm not sure what the benefit is) of a fictional character.
A character that I want to have a beer with in real life with can still be deadly boring in the context of fictional story. I'm not saying that is necessarily the case with Nightcrawler. Just saying that being a pleasant person isn't something I value either way when thinking of favorite characters.
I know that many fans think of fictional characters as more like friends, to the point of getting pissed when bad things happen to their "friends." That was never the case with me.
I know that many fans think of fictional characters as more like friends, to the point of getting pissed when bad things happen to their "friends."
And man are they annoying to talk to!
"How many people here were pubescents reading comics in the nineties?"
Yes. Me, at least. How old are you again?
Oh, I voted Old Witch. That's a bad showing!
Not much live for Dynaman being Hitler? That really is my all time favourite reveal. That one made me put the book down and grin!
Well, these were opinion polls, and I long ago stopped expecting people's opinions to be tied to raw logic very much. Not that that's a bad thing; comics are entertainment so gut reaction and how these things make/made people feel is just as fascinating to me as the mental cogitations they devote to them.
So, in my gut: I never acquired a particular fondness for J'on, and Ben became emotionally inextricable for me with the malaise of Clone Saga. To me the masterstroke of the Ozzy reveal wasn't just that their peak-human-hero (putting him in the company of such as Batman and Captain America) was the villain, but that he carried out his master plan and *then* revealed it, in utter contradiction of all expectation. Double-whammy. Never read Hellblazer, haven't read very much Flash; guess I'm not that hardcore, but I still get a vote so I voted what I knew. I'll admit I have moments of ambivalence over Hal Jordan, but I dig Green Lantern doing the Green Lantern thing and always have. Whose art do I picture when I picture the League? Its Perez, it really is. Question wasn't who's the greatest butler ever, question was who's MY fave…gut said Jarvis. Ditto Nightcrawler, though I was shocked Scott got that much love considering how much hate you usually hear for him. I heart Vampi.
Really cool that Cain was #2. Gald to see my vote went somewhere good.
Some guy said:
"1 – John Buscema
2 – Jack Kirby (right behind Buscema but way ahead of:
3 – George Perez"
I definitely agree that Buscema's first run puts him at the top, even if that awful later run with the lame duck Gilgamesh-including cast pulls his average down a bit, but Perez isn't "way" behind.
Kirby stuck around for a very short time. His presence at the very beginning keeps him on the "definitive" list, but his shot tenure keeps him from being "way" ahead, if you're talking about any factors other than general Kirby awesomeness.
That's right! Favorite reveal: Sin Eater in David's Spec. Spider-Man.

Origin of the solar system

A theory for the origin of the solar system, which is based on ideas of supersonic turbulent convection and indicates the possibility that the original Laplacian hypothesis may by valid, is presented.
We suggest that the first stage of the Sun's formation consisted of the condensation of CNO ices (i.e. H2O, NH3, CH4,...) and later H2, including He as impurity atoms, at interstellar densities to from a cloud of solid grains. These grains then migrate under gravity to their common centre of mass giving up almost two orders of magnitude of angular momentum through resistive interaction with residual gases which are tied, via the ions, to the interstellar magnetic field. Grains rich in CNO rapidly dominate the centre of the cloud at this stage, both giving up almost all of their angular momentum and forming a central chemical inhomogeneity which may account for the present low solar neutrino flux (Prentice, 1976). The rest of the grain cloud, when sufficiently compressed to sweep up the residual gases and go into free fall, is not threatened by rotational disruption until its mean size has shrunk to about the orbit of Neptune.
When the central opacity rises sufficiently to halt the free collapse at central density near 10−13 g cm−3, corresponding to a mean cloud radius of 104 R ⊙, we find that there is insufficient gravitational energy, for the vaporized cloud to acquire a complete hydrostatic equilibrium, even if a supersonic turbulent stress arising from the motions of convective elements becomes important, as Schatzman (1967) has proposed. Instead we suggest that the inner 3–4% of the cloud mass collapses freely all the way to stellar size to release sufficient energy to stabilize the rest of the infalling cloud. Our model of the early solar nebula thus consists of a small dense quasi-stellar core surrounded by a vast tenuous but opaque turbulent convective envelope.

NEW YORK (June 13, 2013)--New York City nanny Yoselyn Ortega, who's accused of killing two children in her care, says someone else did it and says the charges against her "are all lies."
Ortega told the Daily News in a jailhouse interview that she didn't kill 2-year-old Leo Krim and his 6-year-old sister, Lucia, who were found dead on Oct. 25, 2012 in the bathtub of their Upper West Side apartment.
The Krims' third child, 4-year-old Nessie, wasn't home at the time.
Ortega pleaded not guilty to murder charges.
She didn't say who else could be responsible for the killings.
When the newspaper asked her if she loved the slain kids, she said, "My lawyer told me not to talk."

Very nice.
if this is shattered glass why isn't his decepticon symbol red?

Off topic: How many months between July and December?
So I was reading yet another article on Tiger's season-ending injury, when I came across this line:
Given Woods's dedication, the seven months between July and December offer plenty of time to rehabilitate successfully.
Can someone make the New York Times' math work out? Or do they mean Tiger has figured out how to slow down time?
At least let me know what time tonight they fix this.
If you want to know how Tiger wins major tournaments, go here.
3 Responses to Off topic: How many months between July and December?
Newspaper shoild go back to days of hot metal because a silly mistake like this one would never get by the Linotype operators.
I've seen Tiger do some incredible things….
For him, stuffing an extra month in the Calendar shouldn't be tough at all…

Media Now That's Frat-errific!
posted by March 23 at 12:42 PMon
As Josh noted yesterday, the Weekly, under bitter ex-Maria Cantwell staffer Mike Seely, looooves to bag on Maria for being, you know, a bitch. Last week, it fell to Weekly newbie Aimee Curl to demonstrate, via staff turnover stats, that Maria deserves her bitchy reputation. Josh noted the Weekly didn't compare Cantwell's staff turnover to other offices; if they had, they would have found that Cantwell's nine-person turnover isn't much above the average for the state.
Well, guess what self-proclaimed frat boy Seely's nickname for Cantwell was, according to a former SW staffer?
Yeah, nothing sexist (or personal) about that.

You only did one thing wrong IMHO EVERYTHING
This is a discussion on Situation with Neighbors House within the Carry & Defensive Scenarios forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Definitely agree with all those who say you should have stayed out of the house. I know he's your neighbor and sounds like you're pretty ...
Definitely agree with all those who say you should have stayed out of the house. I know he's your neighbor and sounds like you're pretty good friends, but I'm sure he has homeowner's insurance that would have taken care of him. It's not worth getting killed, hurt, or arrested over some stuff, especially if that stuff isn't even yours...
You only did one thing wrong IMHO EVERYTHING
"Outside of the killings, Washington has one of the lowest crime rates in the country,"
--Mayor Marion Barry, Washington , DC .
So, let's review.
There is no chance anything is wrong, you did not risk your life or your son's life.
There is a chance you're walking in on an one or more possibly armed criminals, who could very well hurt/kill you and your son.
Can't have it both ways dude. Also, you may be interested to know that cops are allowed to read the internet. Committing a crime (a felony, depending on your state) then bragging about it on the internet is about as intelligent as, oh I don't know, barging around other people's houses playing SWAT.
I did a lot of house clearing in Iraq. Rifle, body armour, grenades, and a fire team of similarly armed Marines with me, and even then I hated it. For you to go strolling into a dangerous situation only underscores that you do not appreciate the possible consequences of your actions.
If you knew your neighbors weren't home, what possible reason would you have for trespassing, putting you AND your son's life in danger (and let's not pretend you didn't -- had there been an intruder inside that killed you, ran out the front door and saw your son there -- I think we know the potential outcome) to clear a house that doesn't even belong to you?
If I came home to my own house (much less my neighbor's) and found the door opened, I'm not going in. In Virginia, it's illegal to use deadly force upon someone to defend property. Stuff is stuff - I'm insured.
You shouldn't have a CCW IMHO and this illustrates my personal belief (however unpopular) that not everyone should be able to have them... but that's for another topic.
Fortunately you and your son are OK.... this time.
The way I would have handled this situation is as follows:
Immediately get my cell phone, gun, and flashlight. Enlist the help of my 19 year old. Call 911 and get the cops on the way. Tell my son to stay in our house, but surveille the neighbors house. If he sees anyone suspicious, stay put, and be the eyes and ears of the police.
Meanwhile, I'd have gone to the opposite side of my neighbor's house and done exactly the same thing, cell phone in hand.
Clearing a home is probably THE most dangerous thing a person can do, with or without training.
1. Call cops
2. Go back to your house
3. Try to contact homeowner
None of this required a firearm, your teenage son, or clearing a house.
You put yourself and your son at risk for somebody else's insured possessions. You played the ninja fool.
BTW, burglars who want your guns, silver, and flat screen TV often could care less about your truck. Your assumptions and thought processes are suspect.
In your put-down, you also use the term "alot". There is no word "alot". It is two words: a lot.
If you're going to insult someone's intelligence, take some time to ensure you spell correctly.
I would have called PD and waited in my house....

Accuracy ALWAYS WINS! So carry what you can hit with.
If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics stink.
Good points and looking back I would do it differently.
I guess my question is, what if there was someone in the house and you shot them. Then what? In some states you can get away with it but in some you can not. What if it was a son of the homeowners and you accidentally shot them. I know this is all what if but the scenario calls for what ifs.
You can't do the wrong thing the right way.
You broke the law as soon as you left your property and entered your neighbors with a loaded handgun.
wow...I wouldn't talk about this any more If I was you. In person or especially on a public forum...
There were so many things you just did not think about in this situation and thats what gets people killed, hurt, arrested or the like. I hope you learned a valuable lesson and I hope some common sense and a thought process comes with that CCW your getting or your in for a heck of ride. You had good intentions I'll give you that, but that isn't going to save/help you.

Shut down. No other options are available.
- This server is part of a domain and has not been set up by me.
- I have not yet talked with the domain admin, but as far as I could tell from googling, only Win7 has group policy options for the start menu. (And yes, OC I will talk to the domain admin to see if he has any clue - which I doubt.) (Edit: I have now talked to our domain admin, and he's got no clue either.)
- I'm responsible for this server and a local administrator but not a domain administrator.
- I switched off User Account Control (UAC) yesterday without problems.
Since I always log into this machine via RDP and this being a server, the natural choice would be the option (Log out) and not (Shut down).
What can I do to fix it or to find out why it cannot be changed?

Earnings Differential between Public and Private Sectors in Pakistan
The paper explores the earnings differential between public and private sectors in Pakistan. The private sector is further divided into formal and informal sectors for comparison purposes. It utilises an expanded version of the human capital model to determine important determinants of earnings in each sector. Using standard technique, the earnings are decomposed into two parts, i.e., differential due to personal characteristics and due to earnings structure of the particular sector. The Labour Force Survey 1996-97 is used for the analysis of wage differential. Results indicate that workers in public sector earn more than both private formal as well as informal sector workers. These earnings are higher due to their superior personal human capital endowment; however, the wage structure of the public sector is not helping them. The informal sector workers are earning lower than both public sector and private formal sector workers due to both personal characteristics and wage structure of the informal sector.

LBV 1806-20 is a candidate luminous blue variable (LBV) and likely binary star located nearly 40,000 light-years from the Sun, towards the center of the Milky Way. It has an estimated system mass of around 130 solar masses and an estimated variable luminosity of around two million times that of the Sun.
Despite its high luminosity, it is invisible from the Solar System at visual wavelengths, because less than one billionth of its visible light reaches us. The rest is absorbed by intervening interstellar gas and dust. Although the star is 8th magnitude at the near infrared wavelength of 2 micrometers, it is calculated to be about 35th magnitude at visible wavelengths, which is undetectable with current equipment. On the basis of its luminosity and spectral type it is suspected of being an LBV, but despite the name the characteristic photometric and spectroscopic variations have not yet been observed so it remains just a candidate.
When first discovered, LBV 1806-20 was considered both the most luminous and most massive star known, challenging our understanding of the formation of massive stars. Recent estimates place it somewhat nearer to Earth, which when combined with its binary nature mean that it is now well within the expected range of parameters for the most luminous stars in the galaxy.
The spectral type of LBV 1806-20 is uncertain and possibly variable. It has been constrained to between O9 and B2 on the basis of an infrared HeI line equivalent width. The spectrum shows strong emission in the Paschen and Brackett series of hydrogen, but also emission lines of helium, FeII, MgII, and NaI. The lines are broad and have uneven profiles, some showing P Cygni profiles.[3] High resolution spectra show that some HeI absorption lines are doubled.[2]
LBV 1806-20 lies at the core of radio nebula G10.0–0.3 and is a component of the 1806-20 open cluster, itself a component of W31, one of the largest H II regions in the Milky Way. Cluster 1806-20 is made up of some highly unusual stars, including at least two carbon-rich Wolf–Rayet stars (WC9d and WCL), two blue hypergiants, and a magnetar (SGR 1806-20).[1]
To account for the doubled HeI lines in its spectrum and the inconsistent mass, luminosity and age estimates, LBV 1806-20 has been proposed to be a binary. The emission lines are single, so only one star appears to have a dense stellar wind as might be expected from an LBV.[2]

One measure of a good scandal is that its basic chronology can be re-told as a gripping narrative. (Whitewater? No. Monica-gate? Sort of. Watergate? Absolutely.)
For a while I was worried that CIA-leak-gate, or whatever we now call it, would die simply because it was too hard to shoehorn into chronologic story form — too many characters for Americans to keep track of, too many murky motivations, too much flashing backward and forward required to explain where the scandal occurs and why it's so scandalous. ("See, the President said this before the war, and then someone else said this after the war, and then Karl Rove might have said this somewhere in-between, and Scott McClellan then said that, and Robert Novack wrote this earlier, but then Matthew Cooper said this later…")
But this story, from the Sunday New York Times, puts my fears to rest. It's a great overview of events so far, inspired by what is now a great scandal. The story doesn't reveal any new details. It just puts what is known into a damning chronology, beginning with the "muggy midsummer Sunday" on which Bush celebrated what was presumably an unhappy 57th birthday…

When using a the [flv] shortcode to embed an MP3 file, I noticed progressive download was not working properly. Rather than starting playback after buffering a few seconds, playback wouldn't start until after the entire MP3 had been downloaded.
I did some troubleshooting with the JW Player's Setup Wizard and have isolated it to the use of the "image" flashvar. By default VVQ uses the URL of the MP3 as both the "file" and "image" flashvar.
If you remove the image flashvar, progressive download works as expected.
So I'm wondering if the next update could include a fix for this? Potentially checking the file extension and not including the image flashvar if it detects an MP3.
