Confirmed: "The Flash" Movie's Iris West Is "Dope" Actress Kiersey Clemons
Film, Comic Books
This week's Top Five is the top five comic book characters who have magnetic powers!!!
5. Magenta
I really don't know how Frankie beat out some of the other notable magnetic powered characters, like Aura or Dr. Diehard.
I guess I liked her during Mark Waid's run on Flash.
4. Doctor Polaris
Check out that insane helmet!!!
Insane is the key word here, as Doctor Polaris had dual personalities, with the evil one becoming a supervillain.
He was "killed" in Infinite Crisis #1 by the Human Bomb.
3. Polaris
She has magnetic powers – just like Magneto.
She has the name Polaris – just like Polaris.
She has green hair – just like the Hulk.
Gee, when Polaris was introduced, she wasn't the most original of characters.
Luckily, though, she's an attractive woman with green hair and magnetic powers – so she's gone far!
And what a cool cover for her first appearance as Polaris, eh?
2. Magneto
He certainly is an important character in comic book history, and one of the biggest examples of "Don't you dare change him…from the changes you already did before I started reading the character" out there.
Magneto has a MUCH cooler helmet than Doctor Polaris.
1. Cosmic Boy
Cosmic Boy once had a costume with a big old-fashioned spaceman helmet on it.
He also had a costume that was practically flesh-colored, making him appear like he was running around naked.
And yet, he STILL managed to be a kickass leader for the Legion of Superheroes.
Sounds like a #1 choice to me!!
Agree? Disagree? Let me know!
No way. Magneto totally beats Cosmic Boy. Not only was Magneto a great character, his status as an icon is undeniable. I don't see any "Cosmic Boy was right" t-shirts.
Gotta agree, Magneto is #2.
Plus, I really hate Polaris. She's probably the only comic character I actively dislike. She's so utterly lacking in a distinct personality. Any story she appears in instantly becomes 34% less enjoyable.
Argh! I meant Magneto is #1 ! Stupid typo…
I've never heard of Cosmic Boy so I'm surprised that Magneto wasn't number 1.
It seems like Magnetic powers equates to insanity.
Either on the part of the character or the creator of said character.
It's as though megnetic polarities in the brain are affected.
And not in that "new age" place magnets under your pillow while you sleep and gain better cognitive awareness guff.
OR the wear magnets on your body to better affect your aura.
Yeaahhh… the only thing that magnets seem to affect is blood-flow to the brain (damn iron particles in the blood) making them all CaRazy!
Let's review:
Obviously, magnets under the pillow of Tony Isabella made him temporarlity dislexic, and unable to discern wheather an idea was good or not.
"Magneta? No…Magenta! BRILLIANT!"
Dr. Polaris
He's so crazy, magnetizing Green Lantern to a giant magnet wasn't crazy enough. He's gonna cock-punch Hal to death.
Magnetic-fist cock-punch!
"I'm the daughter of Magneto!"
"uh…no I'm not."
"Yes! I am Magneto's daughter!"
"uh…I'm not?"
"House of M rules…I AM Magneto's Daughter!"
Yup. Nutty.
(Sadly, even if she wasn't already bat-shit crazy from the magnetism wreaking havok with her brainwaves, she could have inherited mental instability from Magneto… just like poor old Wanda and Pietro"
Which leads us to…
C'mon. You're gonna debate this one!?
Dude's brain-pan is FULL-UP with poached eggs!
and lastly…
Cosmic Boy
So crazy powerful in his craziness that it affected both him AND his creator(s) in crazy ways!
PINK skin-tight costume?
No..wait…"Spaceman helmet". MUCH better!
Super-convoluted history? Crazy!
Thinking he'll EVER pick up alien chix with a name that ends in "BOY".
And the REAL reason that magnets = crazy is that waaaay back when my best friend and I were wee lads, in the innocent early 1970's, we thought that if we would be able to obtain VERY POWERFUL magnets, and make them into grappling hooks and other weapons of the trade, we could patrol our neighborhood as crime fighters.
So stupid were we that we ACTUALLY went to a magnet shoppe (believe it or not our town actually had a shoppe that sold NOTHING but magnets of varying strength and purpose) and asked the proprietor if he had any magnet(s), of industrial strength, that was strong enough, that IF WE THREW IT AT AN OBJECT (a LAMPPOST – but we didn't tell HIM that, for it would have been a leak into our SECRET IDENTITIES)… and MISSED that object, by mere inches, it would be POWERFUL ENOUGH to CLAMP ON ANYWAY by it's magnetic force!
Dude looked at us with the obvious look in his head of "What are these two kids thinkin'", shook his head and told us, "No. Nothing like that. At least not PORTABLE."
Dejected, we left. Never becoming the dread protectors of the night we so insanely sought to be.
We shouldn't have believed him though.
Obviously, years spent with all those magnets around him must have made him… MAD!
Turns out, HE must have been our FIRST (and ARCH) villain. For he succesfully stopped us from standing in HIS OWN PATH of WORLD DOMINATION!
It's like a bad "WHAT IF?" story.
Isn't it?
ugh… Noticed quite a few typo's in that last post.
Damn fast typing.
'twould seem that the magnets affect me still.
Personally…Magneto would have to be #1. Like someone else already said…I've never even heard of Cosmic Boy. Magneto is an icon who almost everyone in comics knows and either loves or hates.
Before I clicked on this I thought, "Cosmic Boy had better be number one." Thank you.
Cosmic Boy is Jack Krak with less swearing.
what magneto is a way cooler character than Marvel Boy that is crazy hoe Magneto the greatest villan of the X-Men who finally took over the world thanks to his kids whatr has Marvel Boy done
I'm a huge, huge Legion fan and I have to say I'm surprised that you put Cosmic Boy ahead of Magneto.
(SanctumSanctorumComix: Cosmic Boy's actually pretty good with the alien chix: original recipe Cosmic Boy married Night Girl (from planet Kathoon), who was gorgeous once she got a decent haircut; reboot Cosmic Boy almost married Saturn Girl (from Titan) and ended up with Kid Quantum (from Xanthu, I think); threeboot Cosmic Boy seems to have set his sights on Supergirl (from, of course, Krypton).
Other magnetic characters: Golden Age hero Magno, Legionnaires Magno and Magnetic Kid, Golden Age villain Nuclear the Magnetic Marauder.
And there's no way Magenta should have been #5 ahead of Yankee Poodle.
I'm not sure if Yankee Poodle's "animal magnetism" is a magnetic power in the same sense that, say, Cosmic Boy's is, since it doesn't specifically affect metal. It affects, well, whatever she wants it to.
It should definitely make a Top 5 list for, like, Most Awesome Looking Powers, though. It seemed super-useful, too, it's almost a shame there's no one else in comics with a similar power.
(Is there?)
magneto is #1. worst. list. ever.[/csg-voice]
Let me add my voice to the chorus of those who say Magneto belonged at #1: he's certainly the most fleshed-out of the characters, and is an iconic not-quite-villian.
Is this list a joke? Legion of Superheroes characters are for the geeks among the geeks. No one but the most diehard fan likes those guys. Magneto gets mentioned in rap songs even!! So badass. I don't even know who Cosmic Boy is, but if he's from Legion of Superheroes I know he's lame. Being the best member of Legion of Superheroes is like being the biggest star in the Village People, you're still an overall loser in the big picture.
Magneto suck! Cosmic Boy rules! Go Brian!
Though I was disappointed that Victor Mancha from Runaways wasn't on the list.
Magneto is hands down the winner here. And I'd also suggest replacing Magenta with the old Darkhawk villain Lodestone, if only because she can even beat Dr. Polaris in the "Who has the ugliest helmet" competition. Check her out: http://www.marvel.com/universe/Lodestone_(Andrea)
I have to agree on the #1 & #2 positions. This Top 5 is not for "Most Popular Character with magnetic powers" anyway.
Regarding the relative merits of Cosmic Boy vs Magneto, one pops immediately to mind- In the 48 years since the character was created, Cosmic Boy has been depicted in a remarkably consistent manner. He has ALWAYS been the level-headed one, the natural leader. Even across the various reboots the Legion has endured. Magneto on the other hand has been depicted as Capital-E Evil in the 60s & 70s, sympathetic in the 80s, Evil again (without the moustache-twirling) in the 90s, and some combination of the two currently. It seems no two writers or fans can agree on who this character is or what drives him, so his motivations are all over the road.
Nope, no Legion bias here.
In the mid-70's, Cosmic Boy wore a costume designed by Mike Grell that was not flesh-colored, it was flesh. Errr, that is, there was no costume there. He wore what pretty much looked like a bustier and a speedo. Check this out, here's Cos as drawn by Grell in a commission.
He's from the future. Maybe that's fashionable then. You can't prove it isn't.
T shall be hearing from my second. We will meet on Calais sands.
That's funny. A comic geek calling other comic geeks bigger geeks. Ironing, sweet ironing (or somehting equally Homer Simpsonish). So, who are these inner cadre of geeks who can appreciate the geekiness that is the Legion?
Not only does Cosmic Boy deserve the top slot, but his brother, Magnetic Kid, should have made the top 5. Because, you know, volunteering to get yourself killed to earn the team a Plot Coupon certainly counts as Magnetically Crazzzzzy to me.
R. – Not denying I'm a geek. Just saying there are limits to even my geekdom, and that's Legion and D&D.
Legion gets rebooted once a year. Even their reboots get rebooted! Not a new direction, I'm talking constantly scrapped and started over. Every time I tried a Legion comic as a kid there was a brand new status quo. And some of those Grell and Cockrum costumes were just horrendous. And they're always one extreme or the other, either horribly vanilla or some writer tries to go the opposite extreme and make them relevant and edgy, which just makes it weirder.
Magneto #1!
T.'s comments hurt because they're so right.
"No way. Magneto totally beats Cosmic Boy. Not only was Magneto a great character, his status as an icon is undeniable. I don't see any "Cosmic Boy was right†t-shirts."
That's because the Cosmic Boy shirts are sold out.
Cos 4 life.
Well, Marvel Boy fought the FF and exploded. Unless you're thinking of the other one who joined the Avengers. Unless you're thinking of the other one Grant Morrisson wrote while on steep drugs.
Unless you're thinking of Cosmic Boy. Who has done a lot, and against the biggest baddies the future (and present DCU if you count cats like Ra's and Darkseid) has to offer.
I haven't read enough of LOSH to say I can agree, because I probably wouldn't have picked him for #1 myself (Though I would have included him, before the LOSH fans get snippy with me…). But all the outright dismissal of the character I'm seeing, just because he's not on t-shirts or in rap songs or popular…is that right? You might be more familiar with Edwin Jarvis or Alfred Pennyworth than you are with Wodehouse's Jeeves or Collins' Gabriel Betteridge but does that mean Alfred is literature's greatest butler? Automatically?
I had an old speech teacher who had never even heard of On The Waterfront, is that any reason to discount it altogether? Lee J. Cobb, Eva Marie Saint, Karl Malden, Brando? Disagreeing with 50 years of Cos as I see others doing is fine, but dismissing them outright because you haven't read them, making that your argument…that's not acceptable in other serious criticism, why should we accept that in comics?
JeffR. I think you'll agree that Grell's costumes for the female legionaires were, how shall we put it, very nice.
that's the gayest little costume ever!
Grell loved him som disco suits, that's for sure…
I did a Googe Image search to learn more about the guy and found this:
Click here for the worst. Costume. Ever.
Anyone man with the costume of a female Hellfire Club member? Lame.
One comparison I like to make between comic book characters is when they made their debut. Doesn't prove any points but I like to have the context.
Cosmic Boy: 1958
Magneto: 1963
As for T, well, I and most people here would have put Magneto #1 ourselves, but we don't feel the need to troll about it.
is it just me or is that cosmic boy cover riffing on the end of evil dead 2 (the whizzy vortex to another time bit)? When is that comic from? I can't make out the date properly.
Maybe it's cause Cronin is the moderator for the X-men board here at CBR.
And X-men fans are FUCKING TERRIFYING. There's a decent minority of them who are just not rational human beings.
Really, you can only read so many posts by people who HONESTLY think Magneto was right, and they completely empathize with him SO much and if they feel that Magneto is disrespected in the comics they go on a crying jag and curl up in a fetal ball don't leave their room for four days And those are the ones who DON'T feel the need to threaten the offending creators (and their families) with physical harm…
and you'd start thinkin' there's something just a little bit… wrong with the idea of Magneto, too.
Legion fans are weirdly insular, but at least the vast majority of them can, in my experience, RECOGNIZE and RESPOND to earth logic.
Matthew E – I thought we were all just having fun, personally. Relax.
It's an immutable universal constant:
You can't be Number One at anything if you're a guy wearing pink.
It's just not allowed.
Legion fans are weirdly insular
We* don't mean to be. It's just that it's so easy for people to be comic book fans, or even DC fans, and still not pay any attention to the Legion, because it's separated off by the future setting. (How else could there be people on this thread, on a site frequented, I assume, by people whose comic book science is pretty tight, who don't recognize the name of a character who's been appearing regularly in DC comics for almost 50 years?) So those of us who do are sort of off to the side a bit.
*I am actually legally authorized to speak for all Legion fans. I have a power of attorney right here.
Matthew E – I thought we were all just having fun, personally. Relax.
Relaxing, and sorry if I overreacted. But, you know, if I posted the stuff you did in this thread, I'd fully expect to get warned by a moderator, at least by the standards of several boards I know.
What about Toad from Earth X?
Oh right, I'm the only person who likes that story
I wasn't originally going to click into the topic because I had thought "eh, Magneto will probably get the top spot" but to my surprise, he didn't… sweet! Go Cos!
And I wouldn't worry too much about Magneto's placing. I'm sure he'll make up for it in the "top five guys who get their heads lobbed off every three months" list.
Oh, and Paperghost: That's the cover from his limited series run in the mid-eighties, 1986, I believe.
Oh right, I'm the only person who likes that story
I'll admit to totally digging Earth X. In fact, my initial thought after finishing Earth X proper – with the Galactus vs. Celestials fight and the heartbreaking "Reed says goodbye to Franklin-Galactus" scene – was to think, "Holy crap, THIS is the awesome slice of future-geekery I wanted Kingdom Come to be!" But I'll also admit to being in a tiny minority there.
Now, Universe X and Paradise X? Completely lame. But Earth X was pretty awesome.
Hey, Cronin! Top Five Comic Book Butlers!
Universe and Paradise had some good scenes but suffered from Shang Chi syndrome…you can have rich, layered characters and an interesting story but if your entire story is about Doing This and then This happens and the story goes on for another 3 books…If you put the climax in the middle of the saga…then the rest just seems filler.
Once Ulysses makes it home (and Captain America regains his faith in the Dream) reading another seventeen folios of Ulysses sending out belated birthday cards and renewing his ox cart license down at the DMV (Department of Mooing Vehicles) just does not live up.
Honestly, I think Magneto's just a more interesting character. And whoever was talking about Cosmic Boy having been the same all this time and Magneto going through changes really makes my point for me. There's more to the character and I find his motivations more compelling.
And while you're totally right, MarkAndrew, about the insanity of some X-Fans, that's really just proof that the character has a more dynamic influence on it's fans, doesn't it?
LOVED Earth X!
LIKED Universe X some! (Doctor Strange works some serious mojo therein)
Paradise X… oh…man. Doc was in it.
That's the only praise I can muster.
While the X-Men may sell better, the Legion during the Levitz/Giffen era was infinitly better.
Cosmic Boy is so manly he can wear pink, ok? (Although it seems like more recently they have put him in purple).
In a head to head, Cosmic Boy would win because he would take advantage of the fact that Magneto can't do anything without giving a long speech and just kick his ass while Magneto was talking.
Hey by the way Cos did end up going nuts.
A little bit of history, During the "Five Year Gap" Cos lost his powers when his homeworld, Braal, went to war with the Imskians, home world of the Legionnaire Shrinking Violet. When the Legion was reformed, circa V4, the powerless Rokk was chosen to be leader. Much later in the series Rokk regained his powers and went a little batty and tried to rebuild the Earth, which had been destroyed due to the Dominators.
He quickly regained his senses, just in time for the "End of an Era" storyline which ended the original Legion continuity.
Oh yeah, got my geek on…..
Magneto has a MUCH cooler helmet than Doctor Polaris.
It's true. Just ask Paty Cockrum.
Is Earth X the first appearance of the "Storm marries Black Panther" snowball idea? Because that's the first place I remember seeing it, and I remember even then thinking, "Wait a minute, the only real connection between Storm and Black Panther is… they're both black."
Heh, Top 5 Earth X Ideas That Got Out Of Hand
Let's all cast a vote for "Multiplendigo!"
I liked Multiple Man-Wendigo.
Cool list, except for Magenta and Polaris. Ugh. Even though I'm much more a DC and Legion fan than a Marvel/X-Men fan, I have to agree that Magneto should really be in first place.
Cosmic Boy had magnetic vision in his first appearance, where magnetic lightning bolts shot out of his eyes or, uh, something. Also, his first outfit said "COSMIC BOY" right on the front of it (in 20th Century English) so no one would confuse him with, say, FALSE PRETENSES LAD or COLOR KID*.
But Magneto was portrayed by Sir!!! Ian!!! McKellen!!!, fantastically so, in at least two great superhero movies. I gather he also appeared in another this summer, but that one I can wait to catch on TBS or whatever. Cosmic Boy is soon to be voice-acted by Wil Wheaton and as nerdily cool as that is, I think Sir Ian wins that round.
*actual Legion characters
If you had to pick a magnetic legionnaire, couldn't it have just been Compass Lad. T. is right in that LSH is for the geek of comic geeks and should well be lumped in with D&D. I'm a recovering Legion reader and my life is much closer to normal since I quit reading it.
Mark Andrew is also correct in that a healthy minority of X-fans are just unhinged. They've lost all of their aesthetic judgment and are in good touch with what most experience as consensual reality. I have met multiple X-fans who feel that they will never find a special woman who will understand them the way Jean Grey did.(Sadly, I've seen a little to many references from Legion fans to Saturn Girl and Dream Girl in carnal contexts). Other X-crazies refer to X-men stories as current events or actual history, yet refer to Darkhawk issues as "just comic books". You've never been chilled to the spine until you've met one of these nuts in your local comic shop.
Take your pick between comic book mama's boys and actual lunatics. Magneto is still cooler at least until Conan gets a magnetic antagonist.
"Magneto is still cooler at least until Conan gets a magnetic antagonist."
What about Magnor, Lord and Master of the Bronze Golems?
Yeah I made him up. But it'd be awesome if Tim Truman read this and swipe my name and concept for his Conan run.
Is Earth X the first appearance of the "Storm marries Black Panther†snowball idea? Because that's the first place I remember seeing it, and I remember even then thinking, "Wait a minute, the only real connection between Storm and Black Panther is… they're both black.â€
It's the first appearance of them being MARRIED, but it was Claremont who first came up with the concept of them being close, as he introduced the retcon of the two of them being childhood compatriots in an old Marvel Team-Up.
Krueger and Ross are just riffing off that idea.
It's the first appearance of them being MARRIED, but it was Claremont who first came up with the concept of them being close, as he introduced the retcon of the two of them being childhood compatriots in an old Marvel Team-Up.
I know about the Marvel Team-Up, but my impression was that it'd been an overlooked curiosity since Claremont wrote it. Until I'd read Earth X, if you'd asked me who Storm was most likely to end up marrying, I'd've said Forge (if she married anyone), because she had that on-again off-again thing with him for years. Black Panther? That seemed to come out of nowhere.
Ah… innocent childhood romances.
Like where an elemental 'goddess' mutant can fall in love a prince… of the single greatest, most technologically and socially advanced (yet hidden) nation on Earth.
Isn't it sweet?
Actually, I remember reading that Team-Up many years ago (did I buy it when it first came out? Maybe. I no longer recall) and always wondered WHY it had never been touched upon again.
So, I'll have to side with the "yeah. Not a great idea, but not out of left field" camp.
Of course, if they were ever SHOWN (even in flashback) to have SEEN each other now and again, it might help the 'believability'.
However, playing 'devil's advocate', many nations 'like Wakanda' may have antiquated marriage "arrangements" where a bride and groom were chosen from even BEFORE BIRTH and then may NEVER have seen each other again, UNTIL their wedding day.
SO, not too far out of the realm of possibility.
Just a thought.
ANY comic characters (even spoof ones) where they shoot lightning outta their ass?
Kinda like a comic-spoof version of Braveheart?
If there IS such a thing, he wins!
Pants…er..HANDS down!
Other X-crazies refer to X-men stories as current events or actual history, yet refer to Darkhawk issues as "just comic booksâ€.
Hahaha, that is hilarious. I pictured one guy asking another guy "Where were YOU when Inferno hit?" like reminescing on Pearl Harbor or 9/11.
But…MAGNETIC LIGHTNING!
Like Cosmic Boy!
Other X-crazies refer to X-men stories as current events or actual history, yet refer to Darkhawk issues as "just comic booksâ€.
Hahaha, that is hilarious. I pictured one guy asking another guy "Where were YOU when Inferno hit?†like reminescing on Pearl Harbor or 9/11.
Sadly, it's a fairly common occurrance.
But it's NOT just relegated to X-fans.
I have experience with that sort of thing from two fronts.
1st: I used to be a comic writer/artist (late 80's / early 90's) for a small indie company, churning out crap (due to no budgets and insanely tight deadlines), and as such I used to have a table in many "artist alleys" at cons, doing sketches for fans.
You wouldn't BELIEVE the people who would approach me (kids I can excuse…but the ADULTS?!) who used to ask me 'If Spider-Man was nice.' 'Why Cyclops or Wolverine wasn't the "right guy" for Jean Grey, but THEY WERE.' And 'How it IS POSSIBLE for Wolverine's skeleton to be adamantium laced.'
I even had a guy pull out blue-prints for HOW a Star Trek teleporter ACTUALLY WORKS.
2nd: I worked for a few years in an antiquarian bookshoppe / comic shoppe.
The kids (and sad adults) who used to come in there were frightening.
The best was when two yout's (eh..what a yout'?) got into a heated exchange and one guy ACTUALLY threatened the other with bodily harm from… A MAGIC CARD spell.
"I'll Chaos Orb you! Right here and Now! You'll be DEAD!"
or something along those lines.
He was positively WILD EYED!
Reminded me of that old AVENGERS (british TV) episode where the creator of a comic character "The Winged Avenger" goes off his nut, thinks he's the real deal and starts killing people… IN COSTUME.
I know I get pretty crazed about how some comics (Dr. Strange mostly) are mishandled, and nitpick over continuity errors and the like, but I KNOW it's fiction.
SOME of these fans…eh… not so much.
OK, the Chaos Orber is just kinda sad, but I wanna meet the guy with the Star Trek teleporter. Even if it doesn't work it's still kind of an interesting curiosity. And if does… Mmmm Boy!
" It's the first appearance of them being MARRIED, but it was Claremont who first came up with the concept of them being close, as he introduced the retcon of the two of them being childhood compatriots in an old Marvel Team-Up."
You sure? I've read every issue of Team-up in one format or another and I don't remember that. Storm? And Black Panther? Storm only had one major appearance in the first annual.
who decided that the pink-purple specturm = magnetic powers? Polaris is the only one who apparently missed that memo, and look what happened to her…
"Even if it doesn't work…"
BTW there was a reference to Storm/Black Panther having had a past liaison in X-Men 60 or thereabouts, iirc.
You sure? I've read every issue of Team-up in one format or another and I don't remember that. Storm? And Black Panther?
It was a back-up in, I believe, issue #100.
MacQuarrie's daughter has a story about a time that she was in a computer lab, and heard a guy say, out loud, "You're lucky I don't have a fireball right now!"
That still cracks me up.
We forgot another magnetically-powered character: Goldstar!
"The best was when two yout's (eh..what a yout'?) got into a heated exchange and one guy ACTUALLY threatened the other with bodily harm from… A MAGIC CARD spell.
"I'll Chaos Orb you! Right here and Now! You'll be DEAD!†or something along those lines. He was positively WILD EYED!"
ah, memories of high school!
yeah, i've seen the chaos orber types (and still see them periodically in comic book shops and card tournaments), and yeah, it's okay if you're, say, in your midteens. but when you're thirty, i mean, shit! and the sadder thing is, they think it's cool.
and it doesn't help that when they do recite incantations (and whatnot), they do them in these bellowy bassy obnoxious upper-class high school voices that i find fairly disturbing…
I'm an unabashed Legion geek, but I'm also a dirty Magneto lover. However, it was worth it to see Rokk Krinn as #1 for the 'netrage.
Magneto not at number 1???
I am now going to stop reading all of your top five because you don't know what your doing. Magneto is number one. Cosmic boy takes turns leading. and his power is weak.
God all of you people who are dissing on Cosmic Boy are jokes! He's from the 30th century for crying out loud. His planet, Braal, has inhabitants who all have the power of magnetic manipulation. Therefore his powers are way stronger than Magnetos. I don;t dislike Magneto at all but the fact Cos took top dollar on this list is the truth! You guys are all a bunch of Marvelthumpers I swear…
Cosmic boy sux esp. Compared to maggie

SCHINIAS, Greece -- Birgit Fischer is still winning gold
medals at age 42.
Germany's kayaking legend got her eighth gold on Friday,
becoming the first woman to win Olympic medals 24 years apart.
"You never know if it's going to be the last medal you win, so
in that sense, it has a higher meaning," Fischer said.
Her four-person kayak trailed by three-tenths of a second
halfway through the 500-meter flatwater final, but Fischer set a
torrid pace up front and the Germans won by two-tenths of a second
over Hungary, with Ukraine taking bronze.
Fischer looked left after crossing the line and knew immediately
her squad had won. She raised her paddle above her head with both
hands, then pumped her right fist several times. Her much younger
teammates leaned back, closed their eyes and gasped with
Fischer won her first gold at 18 in Moscow, becoming the
youngest women ever to win an Olympic kayaking event. She now has
11 total medals and will be a strong contender for yet another on
Saturday, when she races in the pairs kayak final.
When asked if she thought the medal was her last, she became
"I have no idea," she said. "Who knows?"
This much is certain: Fischer still has what it takes to win
them. At the 2003 world championships, before Fischer made her
comeback, the Germans were 5th with a K-4 entry paced by Maike
Nollen, who moved back to the second seat this year.
"Birgit gives me a lot of confidence to concentrate on my job.
I'm calmer," Nollen said. "The last time, when I had to ride in
the front, I was under higher pressure, and now I just have to
follow her."
The Hungarians won last year's world championship and seemed
stunned that Fischer could make such a difference.
"We did the best we could, but the Germans were too fast,"
Hungary's Katalin Kovacs said. "I am not pleased."
Olympic gold was more of a novelty for the men who raced on the
first day of canoe and kayak finals.
Spain's David Cal surged ahead of the most dominant man in his
sport to take gold -- his first Olympic medal -- in the 1,000-meter
single canoe event.
Germany's Andreas Dittmer, the defending gold medalist and
three-time defending world champion, led just out of the start, but
Cal passed the 32-year-old and pulled out to nearly a one-second
lead at the halfway mark.
Dittmer, who won silver, said he let Cal get too big of an early
lead and realized going into the last 250 meters that the
21-year-old Spaniard was not about to fade.
"And I realized I'm not as good as I supposed I'd be," Dittmer
Cal, subdued in triumph, said his front-running pace took
everything out of him.
"Now I only want to rest," he said.
The race was expected to be a showdown between Dittmer and 1996
gold medalist Martin Doktor of the Czech Republic. But Doktor, who
lost his heat race and was forced to race in the semifinal round,
finished one spot out of the medals. Attila Vajda of Hungary ended
up in third.
In the single kayak 1,000-meter race, two-time world champion
Eirik Veraas Larsen of Norway pushed ahead of his rivals to take
gold as his first Olympic medal.
Ben Fouhy of New Zealand won the silver after charging from
fifth place. Adam van Koeverden of Canada, who led the race at the
halfway point, held on for bronze.
The Swedish kayak pair of Markus Oscarsson and Henrik Nilsson
won their 1,000-meter event, improving on their silver in Sydney.
Italians Anontio Rossi and Beniamino Bonomi, the defending Olympic
champions, finished second, less than .05 seconds ahead of the
Norwegian squad, whose third-place finish gave Larsen his second
medal of the day.
The Germans took their second gold when the canoe pair of
Christian Gille and Tomasz Wylenzek won their 1,000-meter final.
They were 1.3 seconds behind Russia at 500 meters, but a strong
second half gave them gold with more than a second to spare. Russia
held off Hungary for second. Gille raced with a black arm band in
honor of his late former racing partner Thomas Zereska, who died of
leukemia this year.
"I just wanted to show the world how much this whole thing
hurt," Gille said. "The first few weeks after Thomas died were
very, very hard for me."
In the men's K-4 1,000, the Hungarians, backed by a flag-waving
following that took up nearly a whole section of grandstands,
crossed the line first to the loudest cheers of the day. They led
the Germans by about four-tenths of a second at 500 meters and
pulled away from there. The Germans remained second, with Slovakia
taking bronze.

The Sherman Bearcats will have a new head football coach soon. But it would not happen at their regularly scheduled school board meeting on Monday.
The Bearcats are looking to replace Drew Young, who left for Durant a few weeks ago to take over as the school's athletic director.
KXII's David Reed spoke with Sherman superintendent, Dr. Al Hambrick, and was told that the school continues to receive applications and a hire would not be made tonight. Applications are up to about 30, and the school plans to call a special board meeting sometime in July to vote on a new coach.

SEATTLE (AP) - Mariners manager Lou Piniella has changed his mind about his No. 5 starter.
Piniella picked left-hander John Halama as the fifth starter Wednesday, moving right-hander Joel Pineiro to a relief role.
"We feel Pineiro is very valuable and he enhances our bullpen," Piniella said. "At the same time, it puts Halama in the rotation where he wants to be."
With Halama, the Mariners have two lefties in the rotation, along with No. 2 starter Jamie Moyer. Seattle has the option to use righty Ryan Franklin in the rotation, too, in order to not pitch Moyer and Halama on consecutive days, Piniella said. They have similar pitching styles.
Pitching coach Bryan Price said the fifth starter will only make two starts in the first two months of the season.
"This is kind of a way of figuring out what we really have with both John and Ryan as starters," Price said. "And it allows them to do something they both like to do."
Halama, 30, is scheduled to make his first start of the season Tuesday night in Anaheim, which would have been Pineiro's day to start.
"I'm sure everybody wants to start," Halama said. "But there's only one spot available."

Released: Oct 01st, 2004
Running Time: 101
Director: Rick Davis
Company: Cherry Boxxx Pictures
Cast: Jazzmine, Cheyne Collins, Chloe Dior, Adam (I), Lisa Marie, Tyler Woods, Rose (I), Eve Lawrence, Matt Bixel, Sativa (I), Joey Gage, Dick Tracy
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: All-Sex
Worth a watch when viewers want something uncomplicated with an assortment of performers.
Wherever this well-shot but unimaginative release was shot must be directly in the flight path of a number of jets, because nearly every scene includes overbearing sound of planes flying overhead.
The formula is simple: Stick a sexy girl in a nice outdoor pool with a view of the hills, have a horny man join her and watch them have sex on the deck or inside the house. Sativa is sweetly compelling, Rose is playful, Lisa Marie is appealing, Chloe Dior is hot and anal, Eve is enticing and Jazzmine is giggly, though she works a little too hard to remind us she's a porn star.
Five minutes of behind the scenes footage give the performers a welcome chance to show off their personalities.

Hello Itean, Wich files did you update? With kind regards from Holland
I've updated index.html, js scripts, styles, portfolio with items and added blog page with posts.
Bug: 1: comment out portfolio link in index html 2: go to domain.com/#pages/portfolio.html in chrome 33.0.1 3: page hangs and eventually crashes tab
Issue, script goes into infinite loop on line 220 of script.js if the link you try to access in 2 has no corresponding href.
Fix in script.js
line: 219:
var sublinkCount = 0;
line: 234:
sublinkCount +=1;
line: 235:
if(sublinkCount > 100) {break;}
I can that it is clicking an existing link (212), but unsure what the else clause is doing (starting on 215).
So my question is this, above I've set the sublinkCount to break at 100, is this a good number ? and what does the else part do exactly ?
1. For what? What's wrong?
2. Checked in chrome 33, 34 – all works correctly.
Infinite loop: ok, thanks for bugreport, I'll fix it.
sublinkCount = count of round menu items. I guess, they will be no more than 15-20.
Hi there Loving this Web Template. I don't do allot of website building so I'm having fun learning how to customize it. One simple thing I'm trying to do is change one of 'font awesome' icons to a house (for a home page). I have tried replacing the line with ( as this is in the font awesome css file). but when i reload the website it messes up all of the website.
Hm… seems, some code in your message was "eaten" by autoformatting
Can you send me changed code to email@example.com?
I'm setting up my website, but my contact form does not seem to send, I am on a hosted server, I'm using goDaddy and I replaced the email with my own but I never receive anything.
Are you using email on external mail service?
I'm using GoDaddy too, and mail works for me. But I use GoDaddy mail address. You can register your own email address with your domain on godaddy mail server.
thank you for the theme. have purchased today. isnt there a navigation button for portfolio? only back is there?
what is navigation button? Portfolio has an filter buttons, and portfolio items has a "back" and "go to project" links
Hi, I wanted to know how you got the "Add Menu Item" on your template with the + sign on the top left? Please let me know what code to add to get that
Hi, I've sent you mail

The last bowl by Alexandra fours skip Trevor Drake decided
the game when he drove the jack into the ditch to take two
shots to win the final fours game 16-8.
Taieri needed to win the last end of the fours by three shots
to win the five-round two-day event on the differential count
on the Balclutha Bowling Club green.
They had the three shots on the head before Drake's last bowl
in the zone six regional interclub finals earlier this month
and looked likely to qualify for the national finals at
Palmerston North later this month.
Alexandra won the final by nine points.
The final points were: Alexandra 24 points (differential plus
77), Taieri 24 (differential plus 68), Te Rangi (Southland)
12 (minus 22), Milton (South Otago) 10 (minus 12), Phoenix
(North Otago) 10 (minus 44), Kia Toa (South Canterbury) 2
(minus 67).
''Yes, we are disappointed but the competition was fiercely
fought and it went right down the wire to the last bowl of
the last game on the green,'' Taieri club manager Robbie
Gibson said.
The best Taieri player was former international Ken Walker,
who won his five singles games.

Franz Josef Kaiser, "Reviewing a plugin with 1 star without having it in use or inspecting the code is worth nothing." That's what you did.
You did not review the code it generated. Just looked at the dummy front end and labeled it malicious.
First of all it is SaaS service and the plugin is a dummy front end. it is a collection of forms. Its only purpose is to send app data to the SaaS service which generates pure WP API code. It is not the only plugin functioning as SaaS frontend in the repository. We believe it is a game changer. It simplifies so many things.
How do I know? Our company have been using it for 6 months for our clients. For your knowledge we also employ security experts who check every code we sent to our clients.
Secondly, Wp App Studio is an open source plugin, if you like to improve the code, post your code and ask them to review it. But don't write BS here with some knowledge you had.
Have something to say, share your "immense" knowledge with us and give specifics so that they can fix in the next release.
Long story short: It is open source, man. Being a hater helps no one.

wally: I'm really disappointed in our choices the past few elections. I will admit that I voted for Obama in one of them. I was disappointed and feel totally cheated. The Republican party has been fractured by extremists for more than a decade and this once they simply need to pull together and get this win in the books. I respected Sanders until he sold out to the very person who sold HIM out. When Wasserman made it clear that she was screwing Sanders (as was the entire DNC) she was asked to step down. Instead of Clinton expressing anything remotely resembling outrage at the #$%$ poor ethics and standards of that woman, she actually found a place for her within the Clinton campaign. THAT speaks volumes about the DNC, Sanders and Hillary. God help us if this becomes the national standard. "Trust?" Yeah, sure. I'm sure that with people like Wasserman and the DNC at my back I can be completely at ease that they will all do the right thing. At least Trump has the decency to own his screw ups and comments.

Get inside. Slip his jab, role under his punches and bang away. It's only an advantage if he uses it, maybe he doesn't know how to use his size advantage, some people don't even want to use their size advantage.

Apart from that, worry about your size and not his, fight small and be quick on your feet and move je la head a lot, it might help..... Keep your hands 'on the phone' if they aint firing at him.
If you can get away with it... hit him on the hips, a lot. Just don't show your toe afterward if you lose.... ill advised imo.

The rules of fighting short are simple....yet not that easy to execute.
Get close.
Shadowbox and visualize stepping in as your opponent jabs.
Chin tucked.
Get LOW!
Practicing slipping while walking forward and staying low.
Visualize moving in UNDER his punches.
Immediately gauge these 3 zones/distances
Zone 1: Strike Zone - You can reach him. He can reach you
Zone 2: Danger Zone - He can reach you. You can't reach him.
Zone 3: Safety Zone - You can't reach him. He can't reach you
Spend as much of your time in Zone 1.
You should only be in Zone 2 in passing! STAY OUT OF ZONE 2!
Don't slip/bob/weave from Zone 3.
Don't begin punching your way in from Zone 3
Doing both of these things a waste energy.
Accept the fact that you will take shots coming in. Try to limit them to jabs.
If you're orthodox...practice setting up shots by forcing your opponent to the ropes and trying to escape to your left (walk them into a left hook) or to your right (walk them into a looping right). Opposite if you're southpaw.
Get into amazing shape. Trying to get inside on a taller opponent is exhausting. Shadowbox long rounds doing these things. If you typically just shadowbox in a more conventional way, you'll notice a huge difference in how much energy shadowboxing this way takes.

Don't take for granted that he can handle your jab, put it on him into the chest first!
Every time he jabs block or slip and return with combinations!!!! Make him understand that when he jabs multiple punches are coming at him!!!!
When a jab is negated from a height advantage the advantage is gone!!!!
If you stand on the outside doing squat your a fool!!!! If you trained to box thats fine but there are times you'll need to fight and this is probably one of those times!
If you scared stay home and cancel, if you want to challenge yourself go whip his azz! Ray
be first, back him up, be the boss!

simple, you cut off the ring and keep a high guard. Jab and footwork is vital but you need to set up your right hand to the body/head.

Perfect Advice.
You're an inch taller than Mike Tyson and have a similar reach as he. And he went up against guys 6' all of the time. YouTube the video called "Mike Tyson and what height means to him".

As you know there are many treatments, that do not necessarily work for some people and do work for others.
I suggest you take a look at the AMERICAN HAIR LOSS ASSOCIATION
I hope this information helps you.
All the best and good luck my friend... from a caring induïvidual
16 Sep 2010
In my opinion and because I am experiencing hairloss, first try to find out the cause. There are many anecdotal and post-marketing reports on hairloss from Vytorin and Diovan, respectively. Also, there are some things that you can do to try to regrow the hair. DHT blocking supplements, minoxidil, and low level laser treatments have more positive results reporting than many other methods. I am doing all three now. After one month, I have not seen my hairloss stopped or any regrowth, but was told that it takes at least three months. I've also thought that Diovan has caused my hairloss and will be looking for an alternative drug. I am just beginning to try to stop the hairloss after many months of research and medical testing. Hope this helps. Good luck.

So is this all a setup for Accept's reunion to shoot the video for "Balls To The Wall 2007" or not? And what else will the Watchmen being doing on the wall?
Wait, you mean that was a lie? ;_;
Hutch, I've seen your wife. Woof. What a cow.
Whenever someone claims to offer a presentation about what God is and isn't pleased with, I reach for my revolver.
More of a cow than Hutch himself?
Hutch makes me wish there really was a hell.
#1, ha ha ha, weird, I was just having a conversation about this on Sunday.
And Hutch, I don't even think your Bible presents a clear indication of what God is and isn't please with.
No. Good Lord, no.
I own a cow and she is insulted that any of you would associate cows with Hutcherson.
thank gawd hutch has the direct line on what 'god' is or isn't pleased with- I will rest easy knowing I don't have to worry about it myself!
i don't own any cows -- but i, too, am surprised such a supposed liberal blog would villify one type of bovinae as such.
because, james, it is wrong to thing one can "own" a cow as one might own a watch or a wall.
Be nice, my children. It's cruel to mock the retarded man.
"think" if you couldn't figure it out.
Ok infrequent...my "companion" cow for which I am responsible?
The mere idea that God is or is not pleased robs one of breath. Sunny day in Seattle: God is pleased; earthquake: not so much.
1. Ken Hutcherson.
2. His wife.
3. Informal. a domestic bovine of either sex and any age.
I'm not so sure why Pastor Hutch has to pray for a clear presentation. It ain't that hard to figure out. Here's what Jesus says (Mt. 5: 43-48): "You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect." And here's what Jesus said about being gay: nothing!
what gall. to claim to know the mind of god! if god is so petty to be pleased or displeased by any particular event, that's not much of an omnipotent being.
in fact, you could likely turn that into an argument for god's non-existence. at least in the sky-grampa form that his most vociferous adherents visualize.
I think it would just be totally fun to convince people like hutch that god is speaking to them, except really it would be me, and i could make him do whatever i want!
i think i need to get one of those voice distorting thingys, cuz he probably wouldn't believe that god sounded like a woman.
I love Eli!!
Please tell me someone has already made the "Ken, stop playing with yourself / It IS GOD!" joke already.
Yeah, I did about 10 Prayer Warrior posts ago but I'll do it again if you want....
Ken... this is God.... STOP PLAYING WITH YOURSELF!
How was that?
monkey IS God!
let me tell you about niggas like hutcherson, there are lot of them. They basically have gay men and women do a lot of stuff for them like singing in their choirs and cutting their hair. Niggas like hutcherson will NEVER talk shit to a gay mans face when they are getting their hair done or when they are singing in their choir....NEVER. they just give them this funny look. but when they are out of sight this nigga will talk all kinds of shit about how he want to go to war with us. If that nigga wants a war then I say fine. I say gays should stop doing his hair and the hair of any other nigga who talks shit about us behind our backs. I say that gays should stop working behind the scenes at record labels where there are rap niggas who call them faggots on an album AFTER a gay man has helped to mix the tape and do all the work for the album to go platinum or whatever. I say fuck these niggas, they want a war they got one. Hutcherson is a pussy who only fucks with white gays because he knows they won't do anything but talk. He knows that any gay black man will fuck him up for talking shit. I am done now
lucky - with comments such as that you show your complete ignorance of hutcherson, how pathetic, you're just regurgitating garbage without checking things out for yourself
As a 'rev' and 'out of the closet Christian' I need to say I am embarrassed that Rev. Hutch and I share some of the same identity. Please know/remember that his interpretation of scripture is pretty wacky!
With the exception of mighty dr, the rest of you display your incredible and intentional ignorance of Hutcherson, Jesus and the Bible. But, what bothers me the most is the nastiness of most of the comments. I challenge any of you to correctly quote Hutcherson with any sort of vile crap that you folks display. Certainly, he's a far better example of how to love those who hate you. You just show once again that those folks who feel they are the object of bigotry are often the most bigoted, ignorant and misinformed folks around. I guess it's easier to just assume someone who challenges your point of view must be at least wrong and probably hateful. Much easier to do this than think of that person as just as much a caring human being as you are who has different insights and knowlege. Easier to call names than to have reasonable dialogue. Why bother with the truth when you'd rather be smug in your supreme arrogance?

Amazon beats Google, Apple with paid-for Android apps in China
London: Amazon has launched its first ever paid-for Android apps in China, beating Google, which has offered only free apps.
This move is considered as Amazon's strategy to delve deep into the Chinese mobile phone market where it had controlled less than three percent of the e-commerce market till last year, the BBC reports.
With the launch of new apps and "quality and safety testing", it is predicted that it will also lead to the company opening up stores for Kindle e-reading devices. China already has a huge market of home grown software and apps that are often malicious and contain pirated versions.
Like many other regions, the Chinese market is also acquainted with counterfeit electronic products, and hence, would be familiar with Amazon products.
Apple, to which China is the second largest market, recently experienced a hit to its reputation regarding its repair policies. It is the after sale service policies which will distinguish Amazon in China's mobile phone market space.

Author(s): Kara Rusnak: The Flooring Center, Orlando Florida
Attracting Generations X and Y
The hardest customers to reach in the flooring industry are Generation X and even more so Generation Y. Advertising and media campaigns can help to strengthen numbers, but change is needed to support consistency. This begins with restructuring the hiring process.
These Gen X and Gen Y clients need a sales team that they can work with to accommodate their specific flooring needs. Integrating new hires that have a significant understanding of these generations is a must. A new approach to sales, advertising and media output that reaches these customers is required and it begins with new ideas.
The Flooring Center's recruiters looked to get a sales staff that would have the tenacity and background to address the generational disconnect. While most searches for prospective salespeople starts and ends internally, this new approach to selection is conducted completely externally. College career fairs, professional flooring networks and conferences were held to find just the right type of hire.
New hires brought in were skilled in customer service, though not necessarily in the industry, and have a different approach to targeting. Their ideas sum up to one statement: In order for Generation X and Y to care about our flooring products, we must care about their needs and wants as well.
By placing an emphasis on modern day issues, we were finally able to connect with the Gen X and Y consumer base — one that our new hires believed we had not yet taken advantage of.
The focus was on offering eco-friendly options in carpet and wood. A lot of homes, offices and buildings are now taking into account the types of material being put into these facilities. There is no way to reach this new client without taking this movement into consideration.
After some research, it was discovered that many distributors give the option of ecofriendly products. Our goal was to not only sell this product but incorporate green in our own place of business so we took a few small steps in that direction as well.
Because these generations care more about causes such as green, we now take a portion of sales and donate to a different charitable cause each month to let this consumer know that we care as well.
Fabrics, materials and textures were another area identified by our new hires as a place that needed improvement. While the classics had worn well through time, there is now a greater demand for flooring that can withstand anything. To find products that fit this mix, meetings were conducted with distributors and a lot of new options surfaced.
The first is tile with the appearance of wood, but without the possibility of scratching. This is in high demand for our Generation X and Y customers that have pets or little ones. We also found a carpet that can be cleaned of nearly any mess with just water. These types of products have been tested by our staff and manufacturers and are attracting more of the Generation X and Y clientele than we could have ever expected.
Our new hires advised us to get the brand out in places that Generation X and Y would see. While the obvious routes of social media and forms of advertising were discussed, the biggest success was partnering with a nationally branded wholesale/retail distributor that would send their customer to us.
A lot of our targeted clients shop in this type of store — ones that sell in bulk at low cost — so there was room to exponentially grow through their program and customer base. Action was also taken to add a location in a more metropolitan area and relocate another to a more active area as well where there is more traffic generated from these two generations.
The strategic decisions and thoughts of the new hires paired with an already powerful staff, allowed for greater depth. By making some small changes and conducting research, our business has completely turned around. The customer base has become widely the generations that we set out to target and the numbers are increasing. Through creating awareness of our brand, available products and the causes we support, sales turned around.
By simply integrating new materials and ideas, the flooring industry can start to bring more Generation X and Y customers into their own market.

New Hope for Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis Patients »
"New WHO recommendations aim to speed up detection and improve treatment outcomes for multidrug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB) through use of a novel rapid diagnostic test and a shorter, cheaper treatment regimen.
Read the New Hope for Multidrug-resistant Tuberculosis Patients article »
The following serious adverse reactions are discussed elsewhere in the labeling:
- Increased mortality [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- QT Prolongation [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]
- Hepatotoxicity [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
- Drug Interactions [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS]
Clinical Studies Experience
Because clinical studies are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical studies of a drug cannot be directly compared to the rates in the clinical studies of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in clinical practice.
Adverse drug reactions for SIRTURO were identified from the pooled safety data from 335 SIRTURO-exposed patients who received 8 weeks (Study 2) and 24 weeks (Studies 1 and 3) at the proposed dose. Studies 1 and 2 were randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in newly diagnosed patients with pulmonary MDR-TB. In both treatment arms, patients received SIRTURO or placebo in combination with other drugs used to treat MDR-TB. Study 3 was an open-label, noncomparative study with SIRTURO administered as part of an individualized pulmonary MDR-TB treatment regimen in previously treated patients.
In Study 1, 35% were Black, 17.5% were Hispanic, 12.5% were White, 9.4% were Asian, and 25.6% were of another race. Eight of 79 (10.1%) patients in the SIRTURO group and 16 of 81 (19.8%) patients in the placebo treatment group were HIV-infected. Seven (8.9%) SIRTURO-treated patients and six (7.4%) placebo-treated patients discontinued Study 1 because of an adverse reaction.

No additional unique Adverse Reactions were identified from the uncontrolled Study 3.
In both Studies 1 and 2, aminotransferase elevations of at least 3 times the upper limit of normal developed more frequently in the SIRTURO treatment group (11/102 [10.8%] vs 6/105 [5.7%]) than in the placebo treatment group. In Study 3, 22/230 (9.6%) patients had alanine aminotransferase or aspartate aminotransferase greater than or equal to 3 times the upper limit of normal during the overall treatment period.
Increased Mortality
In Study 1, there was a statistically significant increased mortality risk by Week 120 in the SIRTURO treatment group compared to the placebo treatment group (9/79 (11.4%) versus 2/81 (2.5%), p-value=0.03, an exact 95% confidence interval of the difference [1.1%, 18.2%]). Five of the 9 SIRTURO deaths and the 2 placebo deaths were tuberculosis-related. One death occurred during the 24-week SIRTURO treatment period. The median time to death for the remaining eight subjects in the SIRTURO treatment group was 329 days after last intake of SIRTURO. The imbalance in deaths is unexplained; no discernible pattern between death and sputum conversion, relapse, sensitivity to other drugs used to treat tuberculosis, HIV status, and severity of disease was observed.
In the open-label Study 3, 6.9% (16/233) subjects died. The most common cause of death as reported by the investigator was TB (9 subjects). All but one subject who died of TB had not converted or had relapsed. The causes of death in the remaining subjects varied.

CYP3A4 Inducers/Inhibitors
Bedaquiline exposure may be reduced during co-administration with inducers of CYP3A4 and increased during co-administration with inhibitors of CYP3A4.
CYP3A4 Inducers
Due to the possibility of a reduction of the therapeutic effect of bedaquiline because of the decrease in systemic exposure, co-administration of strong CYP3A4 inducers, such as rifamycins (i.e., rifampin, rifapentine and rifabutin), or moderate CYP3A4 inducers should be avoided during treatment with SIRTURO [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
CYP3A4 inhibitors
Due to the potential risk of adverse reactions to bedaquiline because of the increase in systemic exposure, prolonged co-administration of bedaquiline and strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, such as ketoconazole or itraconazole, for more than 14 consecutive days should be avoided unless the benefit outweighs the risk [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Appropriate clinical monitoring for SIRTURO-related adverse reactions is recommended.
Other Antimicrobial Medications
No dose-adjustment of isoniazid or pyrazinamide is required during co-administration with SIRTURO.
In a placebo-controlled clinical trial in patients with MDR-TB, no major impact of co-administration of SIRTURO on the pharmacokinetics of ethambutol, kanamycin, pyrazinamide, ofloxacin or cycloserine was observed.
Antiretroviral Medications
Although clinical data in HIV/MDR-TB co-infected patients on the combined use of lopinavir (400 mg)/ritonavir (100 mg) with SIRTURO are not available, use SIRTURO with caution when co-administered with lopinavir/ritonavir and only if the benefit outweighs the risk [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
No dosage adjustment of bedaquiline is required when co-administered with nevirapine [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Concomitant administration of bedaquiline and efavirenz, or other moderate CYP3A inducers, should be avoided [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
QT Interval Prolonging Drugs
In a drug interaction study of bedaquiline and ketoconazole, a greater effect on QTc was observed after repeated dosing with bedaquiline and ketoconazole in combination than after repeated dosing with the individual drugs. Additive or synergistic QT prolongation was observed when bedaquiline was co-administered with other drugs that prolong the QT interval.
In Study 3, mean increases in QTc were larger in the 17 subjects who were taking clofazimine with bedaquiline at Week 24 (mean change from reference of 31.9 ms) than in subjects who were not taking clofazimine with bedaquiline at Week 24 (mean change from baseline of 12.3 ms). Monitor ECGs if SIRTURO is co-administered to patients receiving other drugs that prolong the QTc interval, and discontinue SIRTURO if evidence of serious ventricular arrhythmia or QTcF interval greater than 500 ms. [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].This monograph has been modified to include the generic and brand name in many instances.
