Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
TV, Film, Comic Books
Early last week I wrote a column about the various marriages that were erased over the past few decades.
So we thought it'd be fun to see which of these marriages that you folks would most like to see UN-erased!
(NOTE: Marriages where one or both of the couple were killed doesn't count as a marriage being broken up. If they returned from death and broke up, then fair enough, but if they're still dead then it doesn't count)
Spider-Man and Mary-Jane, mostly to watch Quesada pop every blood vessel in his head.
How about the ones that were simply re-booted out of existence, like Superman and Lois Lane?
I know that everyone's going to say Spider-Man and Mary Jane, but Hank Pym deserves better than what Marvel's done to him in the last few decades. Peter Parker and Mary Jane is one that never should have even happened to begin with. Hank Pym and The Wasp is one that never should have been allowed to break up.
Alternatively there's also Scarlett Witch and Vision, which only ever got broken up because of John Byrne trying to make everyone else hate the character(s) as much as he did.
Although there are some interesting picks here, we all know which one is going to win.
Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley.
Hulk and Betty, if only because it was given this sort of "quiet fizzle-out" treatment. Betty was dead, then came back, but didn't want to patch their relationship. Pak had them kind of rebuild their relationship by the end, though their marriage was sort of ambiguously over due to a single line in one issue. Subsequent writers (Aaron, Parker, and Waid) haven't really wanted to rebuild it.
I do, however, have a certain fondness for the Hulk's two-issue marriage to Caiera the Oldstrong….
I'll go with Vizh/Scarlet Witch but I admit it's a tough call. So many choices …
Vision and Scarlet Witch all the way. Always thought they were a sweet and unique couple.
There are a lot of good choices here, but Mr. Miracle and Big Barda were conceived as a married couple. It is baked into the premise.
Why are Wally and Linda on the list? I mean, isn't "doesn't currently exist" functionally equivalent to "dead" here?
The bottom three are really telling.
I went with Wally and Linda primarily because un-erasing their marriage would also result in the un-erasing of them as characters.
There are a lot of good choices here, but Mr. Miracle and Big Barda were conceived as a married couple. It is baked into the premise.
They were conceived as a couple, to be sure, but I dunno about the married part. After all, they didn't actually get married until the final issue of the series when the book was being canceled anyways.
Apollo and Midnighter. Nothing about their relationship changed when they got married in the Authority. They continued to have very little outside social lives to speak of, they had a kid before they got married and they still went through a break-up and reunion afterwards.
I didn't even know that Scott and Barda had split up. Otherwise, I'd have been hitting on her big time.
No option for All of the Above?
I agree with the top 3, but I voted Wally/Linda solely because Wally should still be around.
I miss Wally and Linda too. I grew up with Barry, I love Barry but I wasn't happy to see him replace Wally in the suit.
I voted Wally and Linda partially for the same reason as M Bloom, and partially because (and I know this speaks simply to my own reading experience more than anything else) I've never read a Wally Flash story where they weren't a couple, so it's difficult for me to picture them not together. (I've read the complete Waid and Johns runs, but never the Baron or Loebs stuff.) To me they're one of the defining comic couples of the modern age. While Superman/Lois and Spidey/MJ both got decades worth of mileage out of the will they/won't they stories before finally marrying, Wally and Linda were only ever together from the moment she first appeared.
Honestly, I'll be surprised if Scott and Barda don't end up together again soonish* – weren't they both just recently reintroduced in Earth 2? (I voted for them anyway, though, because while I do believe Lois and Clark and Peter and MJ should be together, having Scott and Barda not together is like trying to make Hawk and Dove unrelated solo characters, or bringing back Ralph and Sue Dibny as siblings instead of husband and wife).
*(I say soon"ish" because everything in Earth 2 seems to take about three times as long as it needs to – I could easily see them having a "will they or won't they" relationship that takes longer than Mulder and Scully's to get anywhere)
Third Man, Linda and Wally weren't originally together when WML introduced her. But yes, compared to so many major couples in comics, they didn't take long.
I vote for all of them. Im so sick of this fake romance drama, certain editors feel need to happen every few years. Why cant our heroes inspire us not just with there heroic acts but with there relationship commitments. Its just so frustrating and so full of shit.
How many fucking failed girlfriends do I need to see Spider-Man get shit on and dumped by? Is that the new storys Quesadilla promised us? Becuz I gotta say, we've seen it all before and its tiring.
I gotta say, MJ turned into an empty-headed Barbie doll as soon as she got married. She used to have a real verve and instantly recognizable dialog style. When her hair got huge it squeezed out her brain.
Here's my take on the marriages i care about:
Should Be Together:
Vision and Scarlet Witch – a great, long-standing pairing. Has plenty of inherent drama. Still should be together.
The Atom and Jean Loring – Also very long standing; has the fact that she's not a super-hero to make it interesting. Also, undoing her actions from Identity Crisis would be great!
Barry Allen and Iris West – Kind of the template for all DC married couples.
Wally West and Linda Park – Saw their relationship develop from people who didn't really like each other to a fully formed, realistic married couple. Got a bit tired of the 'Linda is my anchor to reality', but other than that, a great couple.
Hank Pym and the Wasp – totally should be together. Have gone through so much that there would always be something interesting to their relationship. Also, a great model for how spousal abuse can be worked through.
Superman and Lois Lane – Superman has always seen himself as a human, ergo he wants a human wife; not Wonder Woman, Maxima, Big Barda, etc. He thinks of himself as Clark & finds that Lois is his soulmate.
Green Arrow and Black Canary – Too fiesty to settle down. BC said in Longbow Hunters that she won't make orphans, so why the need to get married?
Hulk and Betty Ross – The Hulk is a tragic character, so why bring a loving, stable relationship into the book?
Spider-Man and Mary Jane Watson-Parker – If Peter is everyman who never catches a break, why does he get to marry a model who is the woman of his dreams. Should have never gotten married in the first place.
To the people saying "all of them" I point out that Alicia would not accept bigamy
(I don't know how Lyja would feel about it)
on Donna and Terry – it would bring back too many bad memories of how it ended ..and I'm not certain if I want Donna to have to live through the bleak and sordid existence that is the "new 52″
Though, Ame-Comi Girls is a possibility
reviewing the Marvel couples – many split for a "good" reason.
Storm and Black Panther's marriage didn't work because it was a mixed marriage – He was an Avenger, she was an XMan. For a while they were Fantastic together but it didn't last. She went back to her old friends while he lurked around Hell's Kitchen rarely seeing each other. Maybe they could try to both join the Uncanny Avengers and see if they can make a life together there but I can't see them sticking together.
Crystal believes in the song "If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with". She has an emotional need to be in a constant relationship but Quicksilver is constantly on the move never staying still long enough for a steady enough relationship to satisfy Crystal – so no to that one..
Vision and Scarlet Witch didn't end their marriage for a good reason but it ended and Vision doesn't seem the same person anymore. The ending feels so total that any relationship between them would be a new relationship rather than the resumption of an old relationship.
When the Human Torch married Alicia it was significant character development as he finally grew-up and became mature. While readers and writers want and enjoy change, editors and publishers don't – they just want the illusion of change so Johnny is back to the reckless irresponsible old self and the marriage is over. Any future marriage to Alicia would hit the same problem.
Lyja is a different matter – it is possible to be married to an invading alien and still be reckless and irresponsible.
The former-owner of a former-comic-shop I visited once said "Peter Parker is a pimp". Spiderman is constantly surrounded by pretty women and this is not Crying Freeman. Being married to Mary Jane meant Peter couldn't get amorous with Black Cat or date Silver Sable, etc. The marriage ended so he could go back to his playboy lifestyle.
and Clint Barton is similar with Natasha, Wanda, Bobbi, Karla, the doombot, etc (and I don't think even he knows what his relationship with Kate is).
Henry Pym is too crazy to impose on a woman
…and there's something…evil…about Daimon.
Bruce and Betty were always a couple who belonged together- their marriage ended because she was "dead" and so he could marry an alien woman. Betty's alive again and the alien woman is dead so there is no reason why they can"t get back together (especially as she can now keep up with him).
I'm pretty sure Clint DOES know what his relationship with Kate is, just like we do: platonic. She's like his niece or little sister or something. And she has a boyfriend. Creepy.
This poll would have been so much more interesting in reverse. What is the one you'd least like to see get back together? It may or may not reflects the current votes.
My vote: Mister Miracle and Barda, without a shred of doubt. They were made for each other.
I've always liked Green Arrow/Black Canary but nostalgia is a poor reason for reuniting a separated couple. Then again, I don't follow either of their books so eh.
Hank Pym and the Wasp had a good thing, it went bad and they need to move on. I would actively dislike a forced reunion, and I believe Tigra is the perfect woman for a more mature Hank. Same thing with Vision and the Scarlet Witch – they grew apart. Let them STAY apart. Again, nostalgia is a bad reason for pushing a couple back together. Let's see them find love elsewhere. The whole mess with their imaginary babies, mixed with Vision having been killed by Wanda's psychotic breakdown, would ruin any relationship, there are too many bitter memories between them. None of these characters are headliners so they have a faint possibility of being allowed to grow as individuals (unlike Spider-Man), and I really enjoy character development. So I'd rather see Hank, Jan, Wanda and Vizh find happiness with different partners. Some marriages just don't work out. Crystal and Quicksilver should stay separate for the same reasons, plus I really liked Crystal's relationship with Ronan the Accuser.
It would be cool in theory if Superman were back with Lois, but now DC would have to go through the whole process of Lois learning his ID/Clark proposing/bombastic wedding again before they could be married, and it just seems like a tiresome exercise. DC has already DONE all these things, I have read all those books, and I personally would not be interesting in going through the motions again. If they really feel so strongly about their marriage being bad for storytelling, let's see what DC can do with them separate that's so much better. I'm not impressed so far, but maybe one of these days DC's comics will stop sucking, hope springs eternal.
The thing that bothered me most about Peter and MJ's breakup was the idiotic and heavyhanded method Marvel used to get there. Now that they're single and were never married, I honestly don't care about their marriage anymore. I have no illusions left about Spider-Man being allowed to grow or mature. If when Peter comes back from death he's still going to be stuck as a twentysomething casanova (which I presume he will be), I just hope they can make that congealed status-quo somewhat entertaining. I have plenty of comics where they're together and plenty of comics where Peter was single, and frankly neither status-quo was intrinsically better than the other; both periods produced good and bad stories. If Marvel prefers Spider-Man as a swingin' bachelor involved in romantic misadventures then sure, what the hell, let's see what they can make out of it.
Hulk and Betty together would be nice, but at this point I imagine that would mean Hulk and Red-She Hulk having adventures together. That might be fun, but right now I'm enjoying Hulk's new direction so it wouldn't bother me if they stayed apart.
Black Panther and Storm being married seemed like an interesting idea at first, but I don't think it was beneficial for either character. They really have vastly different priorities in their lives, and if either one embraced the other's priorities it would only weaken their own stories. If the Panther turned Wakanda into a mutant refuge he'd become a subsidiary of X-Men comics, and if Ororo began focusing on Wakandan politics she'd become a supporting actor for T'Challa's no-longer-being-published adventures. I kinda liked them together but I don't see what benefit it brought in terms of storytelling.
Hellcat and Daimon Hellstrom? I wouldn't mind that at all, and if I could vote for more than one option they would have gotten my vote. Two headstrong and volatile personalities, mixing Hellcat's bold irreverence with Daimon's dark post-punk rebellion? I could see that couple working very well indeed, it could be FUN (that mythical word whose absence we lament so frequently in modern comics).
I guess bringing Hawkeye and Mockingbird together again might work if it were done right. The circumstances surrounding the end of their marriage were beyond convoluted, after all, and that miniseries with their reunion after "Secret Invasion" had an interesting chemistry. The problem is that Hawkeye is currently being portrayed as a casanova, continuing the grand tradition of Hawkeye and Green Arrow borrowing from each other's characterizations.
Human Torch's marriage with Alicia Masters was a mistake, IMHO. It was a serious breach of the bro-code, which Johnny should understand and respect more than anyone else. When it was revealed that she was a Skrull, I just jumped right out and waited for the nonsense to go away. It's one of the storylines that I pretend never happened, cleanly erased from my "personal canon".
Jean Loring was an insufferable shrew and then she was a lunatic. Let's not do this to Ray Palmer again.
Shouldn't Wally West exist before he can be married to anyone else, never mind another character that doesn't exist?
And in the comics I own Apollo and Midnighter ARE married, so I don't know what you're talking about and lalalalalala I'm not listening. I just don't care for whatever they're calling "The Authority" nowadays.

"Are you going to take that?" - player-manager Fred Clarke to the young Honus Wagner, who had been knocked around on the basepaths by the 19th Century Baltimore Orioles, thus inducing Wagner the next time to blast right through fielders blocking his path.
Fred Clarke was one of the few men in major league history that has enough credentials as both a manager and a player, to make the Hall of Fame in either category.
He was hired at the young age of 24 to command the Louisville Colonels in 1897 and was made the head man of the Pirates 3 years later when Louisville owner Barney Dreyfuss bought 47.3 % of the Bucs and brought several of his own players over including Clarke.
Clarke was an intense, very driven manager who would do whatever it took to win. Often in Louisville, he would run from the outfield to the mound to chastise his pitcher. That attitude often conflicted with that of Dreyfuss, who more concerned about winning with class and dignity. One instance of this is when Clarke had Zimmer hide in the outfield scoreboard to steal signs (which they were eventually caught at by the Reds Tommy Corcoran who found the rod that Zimmer used to signal the pitches to the bench). Another such example is when Dreyfuss stormed into the locker room to find out why the team played so poorly. Clarke demanded he leave and to come back and talk about later in private not in front of the players. Dreyfuss to his credit respected Clarke and would generally back off and let Clarke run the team on the field.
Clarke was also very loyal to Dreyfuss, which caused him not to look for offers from the new American League. To reward that respect, Dreyfuss gave Clarke a percentage of the teams' profits after 1902 to go along with his generous salary. It was the great relationship that they had early on that allowed the team to be so successful.
One tendency of his was to change his batting order as he did several times during his first year in the Steel City in 1900. Another one was the way he brought up his young pitchers. Rather than throwing them out early to the wolves, he would keep them in the bullpen until they were ready to be slotted into the rotation. It was this philosophy that helped him develop so many good young pitchers. During his tenure, the team never led the league in hits allowed or walks allowed. Babe Adams was a prime example of this in 1909 as he took it slow with the young hurler so by the time he let him go, Adams had accumulated a 12-3 mark with a 1.11 ERA and three wins in the World Series. Defense was also an important part of Clarke's repertoire, as his clubs never led the league in errors.
Although author Bill James ranked Clarke as the 13th best manager of all time in his book on Managers, he also made the statement that as Wagner got old, so did Clarke's ability to manage. Although there's more to it than that, his teams did start to fail more towards the end of his tenure when Wagner was an aging player.
While Honus was his best player, his job as defacto general manager of the team, which club presidents and managers did during the early part of the century was more to blame. They traded players like Vic Willis, Tommy Leach, Owen Wilson, and Dots Miller and got Ed Konetchy, Mike Mowery, Sol Hofman and King Cole in return, most of who didn't do anything for the team.
The great talent finds of the previous decade were now reduced to names such as Marty O'Toole and Bill Kelly, Bonus Baby's if you will, who ended up with disappointing careers.
Bottom line it was poor personnel moves that dotted the end of his managerial career than poor managerial moves. Nonetheless, with the losses increasing, the team falling to the second division, and his playing days pretty much over, Clarke called it quits after the 1915 season. Johnny Evers, Cubs manager, in 1913, made the claim he never wanted to be Clarke whom he felt would rather be out there playing than in the dugout rooting for others. He had become a rich man by that point and time and money wasn't driving him any more, so on October 3rd the Pirates defeated the Reds 5-3 sending Fred off a winner. The Hall of Famer gave a dinner for him and his players to celebrate and went off into the sunset, or maybe he didn't.
Clarke had invested in the club after he left and sat on the bench in his suit during the mid 20's. Controversy would rear its ugly head in 1926 when Clarke and manager Bill McKechnie got into a discussion about who would play centerfield with Carey slumping. Clarke made the suggestion that Carey be replaced and McKechnie didn't like his idea of putting Cuyler there. Fred made the statement that the batboy could play better than Carey. The thought was that Clarke was anxious to get back to the bench and was trying to discredit McKechnie. That statement got back to Max who went to Dreyfuss with the support of Babe Adams and Carson Bigbee to get Clarke removed from the bench. All the players were dropped from the team in deference to hid old friend. McKechnie who was happy the players defended him also lost his job. Clarke did eventually leave the bench too, a miserable way to end the greatest managerial career in team history.

Great picture, it looks fantastic, even if you didn't have "The Princess Bride" in mind
Oh God, the R.O.U.S. have evolved! Well, we're all fucked now.

Object detection is challenging when the object class exhibits large within-class variations. In this work, we show that foreground-background classification (detection) and within-class classification of the foreground class (pose estimation) can be jointly learned in a multiplicative form of two kernel functions. Model training is accomplished via standard SVM learning. When the foreground object masks are provided in training, the detectors can also produce object segmentations. A tracking-by-detection framework to recover foreground state in video sequences is also proposed with our model. The advantages of our method are demonstrated on tasks of object detection, view angle estimation, and tracking. Our approach compares favorably to existing methods on hand and vehicle detection tasks. Quantitative tracking results are given on sequences of moving vehicles and human faces.

Sophie looks good enough to eat in a red hot bikini, flirty cover-up and stilettos. Meow. Her pony-tailed partner has his way with her from all angles in a speed boat¾and they're all shot beautifully.
Dark-haired cutie, Sabrina and her boy short clad fuck buddy get it on in the great outdoors. She sucks him off, he picks her up and they take one hell of a ride.

Balancing act: Work, life come together at school career day
The students in my son's class all wrote thank-you notes that he brought home for me. Sure, they mostly loved the free pens, but several of them were highly complimentary of me.
"Your (sic) the amazingest writter (sic) ever," wrote one student.
"You are so cool. You are the best writer ever. Your (sic) so amazing!" wrote another.
My plan is to keep these notes with me at all times and read them anytime I need an ego boost.
I asked my son whether he enjoyed career day, and he said he loved it. In addition to my presentation, he could remember that his class was visited by a police officer and a civil engineer. He said his favorite presentation was the one from the engineer, who explained how ancient Egyptians leveled the ground on which they built the pyramids.
"I want to be an engineer when I grow up," he said, "because it would be fun to make stuff, and I'm really good at making things. ... I've made stuff out of extra Legos I've had."
I'm thrilled with his decision to pursue a career in engineering, although there's a good chance he'll change his mind by the time he's heading to college. He enjoys writing, so I'm sure he'll work on his communication skills regardless of the career he chooses.
And, according to him, I may have inspired some other budding writers with my presentation.
"After you left, everybody wanted to be a writer," my son said. "They said that my dad is awesome."
He then gave me a smile and said he liked career day "because the civil engineer came and taught us about being a civil engineer. And because you came."
Thanks, son, for teaching me how fun this particular intersection of work and life could be. I didn't need to be afraid, after all.

Earth Day will be celebrated on Sunday (how fitting that it's a Sunday), and everyone is doing his or her part to help clean up the environment. Environmental awareness campaigns take place year-round, but it's the annual holiday that drives the most discussion about conservation. More than a billion people are expected to participate in some way this year.
From leaves to lily pads, nature is full of greeny goodness. The color green represents a cleaner Earth, free from the nastiness of pollution and waste, where people can breathe healthfully and happily. Just the thought of the serenity of a clear overlook or the fresh scent of a recently-cut lawn will leave you in a natural state of relaxation. And who hasn't been awed by the sight of an aerial shot of pure, immaculate forestry or other gorgeous wilderness landscapes?
But green can also mean Go, as in "going green." It's about taking initiative, through volunteering or educating or inspiring others. If you plant one small seed, something much larger can grow over time. Earth Day is a reminder of real possibility and new beginnings.
Spring is also splendid season for photographers and designers to put nature's rebirth on display. It's one of many area where sharing means caring. Go green with our "Green is Good" lightbox and see what green can do for you.

White background color is harm to eyes. How to change pdf background color in evince? Now I use evince 3.4.0 in ubuntu 12.04 x64.
I am sure that you can invert the color but I am not sure whether you can use a different color of your choice as a background color.
To invert the color.
Goto: View -> Inverted Colors (Ctrl+I)
Hope this helps.
I have have been fighting this issue for quite a while now. The best solution I have come up with is to use the
With the help of
Firstly install
Then set your two launchers with these commands:
To set the "Paper Mode" use:
To (re)set back to "Screen Mode" use:
As you can probably tell I am adjusting the parameters per-channel and my effort was to produce a Kindle like result. Obviously you can and should adjust these according to your preferences and screens. Of course this adjusts the screen as a whole but, for me at least, this has been a blessing for those all white IDEs. It will take you a couple of minutes to get used to it, but you'll never go back. It's a true Eye-Saver!
The command usage is
IMPORTANT TIP: In order not to loose the blackness of letters always keep Brightness to 1 as shown above. Play around only with Gamma and Contrast. Gamma will produce a darker/lighter result and playing with the Contrast between channels will adjust the resulting color.
Another TIP: Set the "Paper Mode" shortcut to first reset and then set the color (e.g., "xcalib -clear && xcalib -red 1.7 1 64 -green 1.7 1 57 -blue 1.7 1 28 -alter"), so that if accidentally use it multiple times it does not change you display color to black.
I hope this will prove handy to many of you!
Thanks for Evan's invitation. Here is what I did to achieve the light green background in Evince 2.30.3.
As mentioned in a thread(https://mail.gnome.org/archives/evince-list/2011-November/msg00015.html) posted by me several years ago, I replaced the source code from Line 327 to 329 of libdocument/ev-document-misc.c with the following snippet:
Note that the code position may vary for different versions of Evince.
Then re-compile Evince:
After compilation, DONOT run make install, because this may change your locale settings of Evince. Just backup the original /usr/lib/libevdocument.so.2.0.0, and replace it with the modified libdocument/.libs/libevdocument.so.2.0.0 manually.
Then re-launch Evince, open a .pdf file(or other supported formats, whatever), and use the "Inverted Color" option to change the background color into light green.
May this be helpful :)

MISSION VIEJO, Calif. -- Olympic team members Caesar Garcia
and Kimiko Soldati won titles in their specialties Saturday at the
U.S. National Diving Championships, their final tuneups before the
Athens Games next month.
Garcia won the men's 10-meter platform event on his sixth and
final dive, edging Matt Bricker and 14-year-old Thomas Finchum.
Garcia scored 625.77 total points to 617.64 for Bricker and 583.47
for Finchum.
Soldati won the women's 3-meter springboard over Chelsea Davis,
515.04-502.23, despite losing several days of training this week
after receiving two cortisone shots to treat an injured right
Like most of the other Olympic team members, Garcia and Soldati
were training through the U.S. nationals in preparation of the
Olympics. Diving events in Athens will be held Aug. 14-28.
"I feel like we all have an extra burden on us because we all
feel like we have something to prove here because were on the
Olympic team," said Garcia, 22, of Baton Rouge, La. "I appreciate
the challenge."
Garcia and Bricker later teamed to win the men's synchronized
10-meter platform final over Olympic teammates Kyle Prandi and Mark
Soldati said she was as concerned about her shoulder as her
rivals, particularly after finishing third in the qualifying
"At this point, its just pain management," said Soldati, 30,
who lives in Magnolia, Texas. "Its difficult to have confidence
that it wasn't going to hurt. I fought hard for every dive today."
Neither Davis nor Sara Hildebrand could match her in the late
rounds Saturday.
Hildebrand and Cassandra Cardinell won the women's synchronized
3-meter springboard title over Allison and Kellie Brennan.
Hildebrand and Cardinell, the Olympic trials champions.
Finals in the men's 3-meter springboard and synchronized 3-meter
springboard and women's 10-meter platform and synchronized 10-meter
platform will be held Sunday, the final day of the six-day meet.

Prosecutors in Germany have reopened hundreds of investigations of former Nazi death camp guards and others who might now be charged under a precedent set by the conviction of John Demjanjuk, a guard at Sobibor camp in Poland in 1943.
Given the advanced age of the suspects – the youngest is in his 80s – the head of the German prosecutors' office dedicated to investigating Nazi war crimes said authorities would not wait for the Demjanjuk appeal process to finish. "We don't want to wait too long, so we've already begun our investigations," Kurt Schrimm said.
The Simon Wiesenthal Centre's chief Nazi-hunter, Efraim Zuroff, said he would launch a campaign in the next two months – a successor to his Operation Last Chance – to track down the remaining war criminals.
He added that the Demjanjuk conviction had opened the door to prosecutions that were never thought possible. "It could be a very interesting final chapter," he said by telephone from Jerusalem. "This has tremendous implications, even at this late date."...

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Flood-weary residents of Texas and Oklahoma had no reprieve Friday as more rain fell in a region where two weeks of storms have swollen rivers and lakes beyond their limits.
Thousands of people have been forced from their homes, though some residents were holding out, saying conditions are no worse than floods they've weathered before.
A state of emergency was in place for all of Oklahoma on Friday, and flood watches and warnings were posted for river communities. A flood watch was in effect for large portions of Texas.
The rains had tapered off and become more isolated, but National Weather Service meteorologist Greg Patrick said storms could cluster and create a more widespread threat of flooding by the weekend.
Evacuation orders were issued Thursday for about 2,000 residents near the flood-swollen Brazos River in Parker County. The river was more than 2 feet above its flood stage late Thursday but had gone down nearly a foot by Friday morning. Officials said it could rise again if they open a flood gate to relieve pressure on the Possum Kingdom Lake dam.

I realize comments are not as important as questions or answers, but since they're included in your flagging history, shouldn't they also be listed?
Meta Stack Exchange is where users like you discuss bugs, features, and support issues that affect the software powering all 158 Stack Exchange communities.
What is meta?
What is meta?
Here's how it works:
- Any Stack Exchange user can ask a question
- The community provides support, votes on ideas, and reports bugs
- Your voice helps shape the way Stack Exchange operates
Unlike deleted posts, deleted comments are simply gone. While the devs are able to see all of that, not even moderators are able to track the placement of deleted comments.
Thus, unlike posts which you can link to even post-deletion, there isn't anything to link to when it comes to deleted comments. There's no trace at all of it to even know what was flagged. Since it would be awkward to only show live comments (i.e. failed flags), then it only makes sense to not display comments at all in the report.
Like comments in comparison to posts, comment flags are second-fiddle to the other forms of flagging (and are even only responsible for half as much influence). So they pretty much get shafted in the summary.

Bryan police respond to Galveston devastation
The Bryan Police Department sent four officers to assist with hurricane recovery efforts in Galveston at the request of the Galveston County Emergency Operations Center.
Sgt. David Slanker, Officer Ron Stautzenberger, Officer Brent Travis and Detective Travis Hines were selected to represent the department. They reported Wednesday morning to the Galveston Emergency Operations Center and were assigned to support the Tiki Island Police Department.
The Bryan Police Department will continue to evaluate future requests and make all attempts to support fellow officers in need.
"I pray for those who have volunteered for this assignment," said Bryan Police Chief Tyrone Morrow. "I pray that they will make us proud and protect those in need."
The officers are being housed in a church on Tiki Island and are covering nighttime operations consisting of recovery efforts and looting patrol. There is currently no water and electricity in the area.

Teen pleads guilty to domestic assaultMay 22,2013BENNINGTON A Shaftsbury teenager pleaded guilty Monday to a charge of domestic assault after admitting that she bit the arm of her mothers boyfriend at their home Sunday.
Haley V. Iserman, 17, of Shaftsbury, was arraigned Monday in Bennington criminal court on the misdemeanor charge of domestic assault. Iserman entered a conditional guilty plea, under an agreement that the case would be transferred to family court where she could be charged as a youthful offender.
In an affidavit, police said they were called to Isermans East Road home Sunday around 8:15 p.m. Police said Isermans mother, Nancy Iserman, said an argument started over Haleys medication.
Nancy Iserman said she believed her daughter was selling the medication at school instead of taking it, according to the affidavit.
Police said Nancy told them Haley Iserman pushed and slapped her. Jason Lofaro, Nancy Isermans boyfriend, told police that Haley bit him when he tried to restrain her from attacking Nancy.
According to police, Haley Iserman was taken to the Vermont State Police barracks in Shaftsbury to be interviewed. Nancy Iserman was in the room to act as Haleys guardian but police said Haley became loud and aggressive toward Nancy and made physically threatening moves toward Nancy which forced them to remove Haley from the room.MORE IN This Just InSPRINGFIELD Springfield residents will be asked next month during Market Madness for their...

The 2-megapixel camera on the Hue II takes pictures in five resolutions, from 1,600x1,200 pixels down to a special size for photo caller ID. Features are plentiful otherwise. The shooter offers a night mode, a self-timer, an adjustable brightness setting, five white balance modes, spot- and center-weighted metering, six color tones, and three quality settings. You'll also find a digital zoom (though it is unusable at the highest resolution), five shutter sounds, and a silent option. Photo quality was fairly sharp, with bright colors and some image noise.
The Hue II's camcorder offers a similar, if somewhat smaller, set of editing options to the original Hue. Clips meant for multimedia messages are capped at 15 seconds, but you can shoot for much longer in normal mode. Internal memory is capped at about 45MB of shared space, but you can use the memory card slot for more storage. It will accommodate cards up to 8GB.
You can personalize the Hue II with a variety of wallpaper, clock formats, themes, and banners. You can always download more options from Alltel using the WAP 2.0 Web browser. What's more, you can purchase additional ringtones from the carrier or from the Real Tone Jukebox and you can use MP3 tracks as ringtones. The Hue II doesn't come with any games.
We tested the dual-band (CDMA 800/1900; EV-DO) Samsung Hue II in San Francisco using Alltel's roaming service. Call quality was quite good, with a clear signal, loud volume, and natural-sounding voices. We could hear well both in a quiet room and on a noisy street. Occasionally, some of the audio was a tad flat, but that was the exception rather than the rule.
On their end, callers said we sounded fine. They could understand us in almost any environment and they didn't report any outstanding issues. They could tell we were using a cell phone, but that's hardly unusual. Automated calling systems could understand us in most situations. Speakerphone calls were quite good, thanks to the oversize speaker on the Hue II's rear face.
The Hue II has a rated battery life of 5 hours talk time and 8.54 days standby time. It has a tested talk time of 5 hours and 10 minutes. According to FCC radiation tests, the Hue II has a digital SAR rating of 1.07 watts per kilogram.

Guidance on Potassium Iodide as a Thyroid Blocking Agent in Radiation Emergencies
In December 2001, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final Guidance on Potassium Iodide as a Thyroid Blocking Agent in Radiation Emergencies. The objective of the document is to provide guidance to other Federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and to state and local governments regarding the safe and effective use of potassium iodide (KI) as an adjunct to other public health protective measures in the event that radioactive iodine is released into the environment. The adoption and implementation of the recommendations are at the discretion of the state and local governments responsible for developing regional emergency-response plans related to radiation emergencies. The recommendations in the guidance address KI dosage and the projected radiation exposure at which the drug should be used. This guidance updates FDA's 1982 recommendations.What does potassium iodide (KI) do?
The effectiveness of KI as a specific blocker of thyroid radioiodine uptake is well established. When administered in the recommended dose, KI is effective in reducing the risk of thyroid cancer in individuals or populations at risk for inhalation or ingestion of radioiodines. KI floods the thyroid with non-radioactive iodine and prevents the uptake of the radioactive molecules, which are subsequently excreted in the urine.Can potassium iodide (KI) be used to protect against radiation from bombs other than radioactive iodine?
Potassium iodide ( KI) works only to prevent the thyroid from uptaking radioactive iodine. It is not a general radioprotective agent.Who really needs to take potassium iodide (KI) after a nuclear radiation release?
The FDA guidance prioritizes groups based on age, which primarily determines risk for radioiodine-induced thyroid cancer. Those at highest risk are infants and children, as well as pregnant and nursing females, and the recommendation is to treat them at the lowest threshold (with respect to predicted radioactive dose to the thyroid). Anyone over age 18 and up to age 40 should be treated at a slightly higher threshold. Finally, anyone over 40 should be treated with KI only if the predicted exposure is high enough to destroy the thyroid and induce lifelong hypothyroidism (thyroid deficiency).What potassium iodide (KI) products are currently available?
As of January 2005, Iosat, ThyroSafe, and ThyroShield are FDA approved KI products. You can find out more about these products at Drugs@FDA2. Please be aware that only the KI products approved by FDA may be legally marketed in the United States.How are these products available?

I am trying to reduce the height of my polling frame, as I wish to have several polls on the same page. So I thought I would select the option: Display Answers = horizontal. I have tried this both in the Yop Poll Options screen and the advanced options against my specific poll. In each case the answers continue to appear vertically.
I am using the basic WP theme: "Twenty Eleven".

(Sept. 1, 2010)--The ID card carried by students, faculty and staff -- the UTSACard -- provides a range of benefits and services. The card, which features the latest iteration of UTSA mascot Rowdy Roadrunner can be used to take advantage of benefits across campus and in the community.
The UTSACard can be used at a variety of locations across the UTSA campuses and can earn students discounts when presented at local businesses such as movie theaters and nightclubs. Faculty and staff can use the UTSACard to take advantage of the Employee Discount Program. With a minimum discount of 10 percent, categories include restaurants, automotive, fashion, health and beauty, sports and entertainment, home and garden, and more.
The UTSACard works as a free ticket for students to all UTSA home NCAA sporting events such as men's and women's basketball, tennis, baseball, softball, and -- coming fall 2011-- football.
Not interested in sports? How about traveling back in time? The UTSACard grants students, faculty and staff free admission to the Institute of Texan Cultures in downtown San Antonio, where patrons can explore Texas culture and history through a variety of ever changing displays, events and programs.
UTSA students, faculty and staff also receive free admission to the San Antonio Museum of Art (SAMA) simply by presenting their UTSACard. The special benefit is a result of the university's corporate benefactor membership to SAMA.
In addition to these and occasional on-campus arts performances, the UTSACard can also be used by students to gain entry to the Recreation Center or check out games and related equipment in The Roost in the new section of the University Center. Additionally, the UTSACard is required for students to receive treatment at Student Health Services or to borrow materials from the UTSA Libraries.
UTSACard holders also can load Rowdy Dollars onto their UTSACard account to be used at campus dining facilities, vending machines, copy machines and the UTSA bookstores, to name a few. Funds can be loaded using financial aid funds, cash, check or credit card through Fiscal Services, online through ASAP or at one of several kiosks located throughout campus.
Students and faculty member can replace an old UTSACard at no charge by presenting their old card or be subject to a $10 replacement fee for a lost card. New or transfer students getting a UTSACard for the first time and those replacing a lost UTSACard will need a valid, government-issued ID card to receive their new UTSACard.
The UTSA Card Office is centrally located in the new Business Auxiliary Services facility across from the University Center in Multidisciplinary Studies Building Room 1.01.52 at the Main Campus. The new office offers one stop for anyone needing a parking permit or new ID, or if there are questions about a parking ticket. At the Downtown Campus, go to Frio Street Building Room 1.506. Main Campus hours are 8 a.m.-5 p.m., Monday-Friday. Downtown Campus hours are 8:30 a.m.-1 p.m. and 2-5:30 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday.

A Moveable Feast: The Restored Edition (Hardcover)
Published for the first time as Ernest Hemingway intended, one of the great writer's most beloved and enduring works: his classic memoir of Paris in the 1920s.
Published posthumously in 1964,A Moveable Feast remains one of Ernest Hemingway's most beloved works. Since Hemingway's personal papers were released in 1979, scholars have examined and debated the changes made to the text before publication. Now, this spe- cial restored edition presents the original manuscript as the author intended it to be published.
Featuring a personal Foreword by Patrick Hemingway, Ernest's sole surviving son, and an Introduction by the editor and grandson of the author, Sean Hemingway, this new edi- tion also includes a number of unfinished, never-before-pub- lished Paris sketches revealing experiences that Hemingway had with his son, Jack, and his first wife Hadley. Also included are irreverent portraits of other literary luminaries, such as F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ford Maddox Ford, and insightful recollections of Hemingway's own early experiments with his craft.
Sure to excite critics and readers alike, the restored edition of A Moveable Feast brilliantly evokes the exuberant mood of Paris after World War I and the unbridled creativity and unquenchable enthusiasm that Hemingway himself epitomized.
About the Author
Ernest Hemingway was one of America s foremost journalists and authors. A winner of both the Pulitzer Prize (1953) and the Nobel Prize for Literature (1954), Hemingway is widely credited with driving a fundamental shift in prose writing in the early twentieth century. As an American expatriate in Paris in the 1920s, Ernest Hemingway achieved international fame with such literary works as The Sun Also Rises, The Old Man and the Sea, and For Whom the Bell Tolls, which depicts his experience as a correspondent during the Spanish Civil War. Hemingway died in 1961, leaving behind a rich literary legacy.
Sean Hemingway is Associate Curator in the Department of Greek and Roman Art at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961), author of many classic works, including "The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms, For Whom the Bell Tolls, The Old Man and the Sea, Green Hills of Africa, The Garden of Eden," and "In Our Time," was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1954. Sean Hemingway and his wife, Colette, live in Brooklyn, New York. Patrick Hemingway and his wife, Carol, live in Bozeman, Montana.

Publisher's Description
Henry Wolfe has a penchant for finding trouble. Or more precisely trouble usually finds him. It is the late 1920's and Wolfe, a traveling reporter/ self-proclaimed adventurer, is hired to go on a mission deep into the dubious jungles of Venezuela.
Several months earlier, the son of a wealthy family disappeared during his search for a lost tribe who reportedly had found the key to eternal life. Wolfe is a last-minute replacement on the team to go find and extricate the son, no matter what.
No white man has ever gone down this Venezuelan river path and returned alive. Local tribesmen and predators lurk in the leafy shadows as Henry and his team fight for their lives.

Additionally, the events of the narrative were woven together well. However, in the end, it was as if the author tired of writing and was unsure how to end the tale. I was left feeling a lack of closure and that the author had a lack of commitment to the story. This perspective is supported by Travis' comments at the end of the book in which he notes that he was unsure whether to write another book in this series. If he does, I would buy it, because overall the book was entertaining, but not life changing.

- Technology and Social Media Alter the Future of Heisman Trophy Campaigns
by Michael Gaio December 2013
As gutsy coaching calls go, this one ranked right up there with any in the career of Baylor University's Art Briles. What set this one apart, though, was that it was made away from the football sideline.
Briles' decision to give Baylor's athletic communications staff the green light to pursue an all-out Heisman Trophy campaign for a then under-the-radar quarterback named Robert Griffin III would change the school forever and rewrite a marketing playbook for other schools with Heisman hopefuls.

Mickey Boyle, aquatics supervisor with the Geneva (Ill.) Park District, is no different. In 2013, he had to accommodate 770 families that participated in Geneva's swim lessons program. His flexibility to implement new programs is hindered, as virtually all of the 18,000 square feet of water surface is occupied for swim lessons and open swim starting at 8:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday.

In Holland, the price of flowers starts high and drops the longer it takes to sell them. It's been that way for more than a century.

Policy Paper: Five years after the "Arab Spring": What happened?
By Hassan Krayem
A wave of optimism was unleashed in late 2010 that the end was neigh for authoritarian regimes in the region. This wave came in the wake of the broad-based movements in the Arab world supporting revolutions for freedom and deliverance from authoritarianism, which began in Tunisia and Egypt and then came to Libya, Yemen, Syria, and the remaining Arab countries to varying degrees. Now, a wave of severe pessimism reigns over the region, following recent developments in most of these...

From the beginning of 2011, Bashar al-Assad intended to rule out the possibility that the revolutions of change — first initiated in Tunisia, then Egypt, then spreading to other Arab countries — would come to Syria. al- Assad based his calculations on a number of factors, including his survival of the tribulations marking his recent years in power, some of which nearly ended his reign.
Most notable among these were the American occupation and its aftermath...
