Many American newspapers crusade, again and again, for their favorite causes but neglect other, equally vital issues.
These papers often enjoy a monopoly position. Wouldn't we expect such newspapers to be fastidious about reporting in a neutral way, and allowing voices from all parts of the political spectrum?
All too often, these monopoly newspapers are neither neutral nor helpful.
Equally troubling, their reporting about education stays on the surface. For example, has there ever been a single word in any of these monopoly newspapers about the failed theories and methods so popular in our public schools?
Here, briefly, are eight topics that all newspapers should be explaining to their communities:
1) Reading Theory: The country's public schools created millions of functional illiterates, because sight-words are still taught in our classrooms. Parents need to understand what phonics is and why it is the only way to teach reading.
2) Math Instruction: Similarly, Reform Math (a phrase which designates a dozen different curricula) is a disastrous way to teach basic math. If parents understood why Connected Math, Chicago Math, Everyday Math, TERC, and many others are third-rate, then the parents could petition for improvement or take immediate steps to tutor their children.
3) Constructivism: This dimwitted, pretentious method says that teachers can't teach. They must be repositioned as facilitators. In practice, children need to learn a great deal of foundational information as quickly as possible, especially children from disadvantaged homes. They need to play catch up. Constructivism prevents this from happening.
4) Cooperative Learning: This method emphasizes children working together in little groups. After a while, not a one of them can think alone, act alone, or solve a problem alone. This is good training for a collectivist society.
5) Social Engineering: Ever since the time of John Dewey, progressive educators have been slyly using the schools to bring about social transformation. When these people talk about education, they don't mean reading, writing and arithmetic. They mean cooperation, equality of results, and no special emphasis on academics.
6) Self-esteem: A fascinating sophistry. After all, who could be against Self-esteem? In practice, it demands that teachers praise poor performance. Furthermore, Self-esteem justifies grade inflation and serves as–this is its worse sin –an all-purpose excuse for discarding content in all grades.
7) Memorization: Actually memorizing information is discouraged in all classes. This bias guarantees instant mediocrity at every level. (A French teacher has complained that her students were not expected to memorize anything in their other courses; so her job has gotten far more difficult. Students come into her class thinking they can learn French without learning French!)
8) Common Core Curriculum: This thing is best described as yet another power grab by the federal government. It will mean ever more mediocrity but mandated and regulated from Washington.
Those are some of the reasons why people say our schools are being dumbed-down. Parents need to understand why these theories and methods rarely work as promised, and what other methods should be considered. Newspapers, and all other media, have a profound responsibility to help parents triumph against an often-foolish educational bureaucracy. If the media don't do this job, who will?

Self-learning yields better results.

As the public examinations are coming very near, it is best for our students to go for self-learning, and yield a better result for them. Now, our teachers work is over. They completed the syllabus, it is everything on the students to use the time perfectly. They have to revise the syllabus by the help of their respective teachers. It is the right time to go for self-study and list out the difficult parts, which are clarified immediately clarified by the help of teachers. If they keep the doubts un-clarified then it will affect their result. So, their hard work and self commitment will give them a better result.
One thing remember we can not achieve any thing with out self-learning, so develop this attitude to achieve your goal very smoothly.
Will you give any similar suggestions to our students to get a better result for them?
Thanks and regards,

Yes self learning is always better than any mode of other learning. Through self study the doubts arise on each time can be solved by ourself. Which will increase our confidence level. Because all the doubts are cleared by ourself and we can understand the topic very well, by this. Since there are no one is help to teach us, we have to solve all by ourself. It will be better always self study.

Self learning and self study are both different, even though they seems to be same.
For Self learning,
1. One need to tune for himself / herself to learn that subject
2. Be prepared for the upcoming doubts in the learning process
3. No specific time limits for self learning.
4. Understand the concepts by comparing with others, match with known concepts. Read the same again and again in differnt angles.
5. Develop interest over the subject
6. Join online community like ISC for experts guidance from time to time.
Self study means, School or college students, by this time, the syllabus has completed by their teachers. Now its students responsibility to revise all the syllabus and getting clear of the grey areas with the help of the teachers. For this, Students
1. have to prepate a time table as they have limited time for study.
2. Since it is winter season, better not to include any study hours in the morning hours, as it is not possible to wake up in the morning hours practically.
3. Had enough sleep daily. 6 - 8 hours of sound sleep keeps anyone active for next 16 - 20 hours.
4. Since there will be power cuts in the new year, plan to cover your study hours more in the day time.
5. Don't try to read the single subject all over the day. It gets you bored and it impact the next day schedule.
6. Keep getting latest updates on cricket and movies. Indian team play well and Movies will release even in your absence, don't worry.
7. Always take the help of your teachers and get all your doubts in the first revision.
8. Second reision should take comparitively lesser time than first revision, Because you have read the same concepts just few days back.
9. Practice writing atleast 1 to 2 pages everyday, because it helps to finish the exam in prescribed 3 hours time. Else you will be running out of time and thus make mistakes.
10. In your first revision, prepare a quick revision notes with all the side headings and key points, to make your final revisions on the day before your actual exam smooth.
11. Election campaigns will go on till Feb 2012, So plan your study properly.
Follow the above tips, and score best marks in the exams. All the Best.

When teachers are done with their job it is always good to catch that at home in self study the more we will concentrate and beleive on teacher, the more we will remember.
So it always good to revise the concepts after the coaching by the teacher or after his or her lecture.
Self study is required when if others are confusing you so better make your own notes very well.

Nicely said by you. Self reading is the best method to make yourself understand the lesson in better way. Since there cannot be any distraction from the subject, the matter can well register in the mind. In the name of group studies, many students are wasting their valuable time and learning nothing. Most of the group studies are ending up in gossiping over Facebook sharing and so on.
I strongly recommend that if a student wants to excel over others and want to make a bench mark, then studying alone is the only and best option which can give him very good result.

Yes you are totally right, it is now the time where students should do there own studies without relaying on others even the teachers I believe. It is better that they make there own timetable and study. For this purpose I have written an article which will be really helpful to the students. http://www.indiastudychannel.com/resources/147255-Preparation-examination-How-study.aspx

@ K K: Good response! I would suggest that you write a full-fledged resource article on the ideas you have put across in your response.
I do think, though, that "Keep getting latest updates on cricket and movies." would be a great distraction to studying!
Members should participate in the ongoing resource contests on preparing for an exam & preparing for practicals exam.

Truely said self learning yields better results always. Its self learning that clearifies our concepts on any of the topic either it be subject based means related to books or any real life experience. The thing that we have learnt at our own from our own experience surely results into better results and lasts much longer. What we learn from what others teach us can never be compared with the self learning. As we don't accept others teaching or thoughts deep heartedly, whereas the self learnt things are trustworthy and we believe in that in true manner. The help us at many circumstances.

Self learning has always remained a better choice for students to get more clear to their respected subejects and topics. Getting help and support from teacher is another way, but one should try doing self study to get everything by their own. Its upto the student, that if whether he/she runs a flying sight over the chapter before getting it teached by the teacher, or making self notes much before the teacher teaches it in the clas. In my view, one should not make a bridge of notes before the teacher's teaching that topic or chapter in the class. This makes them free from the burden of writing and reading various similar notes about the same topic. One should only have a keen reading of the chapters and should wait for the time when teachers tell them to make notes. This helps them to make notes with better understanding and standard.
At this lasting time, they should not become over stressed about their studies, nor they should become careless about it. One can arrange last year examination's paper and try to solve them by their own. Apart from that, several extra helping books are available in the market.
The Most important thing one should have, is the Hard Working ability.
The students who use to do self study over their subjects, probably will be able to put effective answers to the questions.
In my opinion, self study is equally important for every student. Just to go for tuitions and coachings for studying is not an enough requirement. Self study is really needed for a student to get success and attain more heights.

Self learning for a student is very good option because not all teachers in the tutions or academies teach the students well.
The student can perform very well if he does self learning at home.
A student should follow these steps to be successful in his examinations
1.He should wake up early in the morning atleast by 5am.
2.He should meditate atleast for ten minutes a day which will increase his memory power.
3.He should study atleast for one hour everyday.
4.He should revise the topics on the same day.
5.His mind should be from all the stress and pressures.
6.He should interact with his friends when he has some doubts or he should clear it with the respected faculty.
7.He should write and practice everyday so that his presentation on the paper will be very good.
8.He should be in a very quite and calm environment.
9.He should not read continuously but with some relaxation of atleast 10 minutes.
10.Heavy meal should not be taken by a student during examinations which will decrease the memory power of a student.

Mr Vicky has introduced a thought provoking thread to incite the students for self study which is require at all times, but specially at the end of the portions are over and the revision are starting. During the self study if any query or clarifications on any point under study is required the teachers are available to clear the doubts.
Many members have contributed intelligent suggestions and improvements. The discussion points of M/s K K, Ank Arya, Mohammed Ali etc are really exhaustive and as suggested by the Managing editor if all the points brought out in this thread is used for an article it will be a good one indeed like a guide for the student community.

I totally agree with the views of our members. And I would like to mention that self-learning yields to better results is not only applicable or confine to exam preparation, but this is true even in day to day learning of other things as well. My own experience, I learnt many things, be it cooking or computing, out of my own research on it as a self-learning process and I was successful in doing so. Hence, I started learning things out of my own instead of asking others for help as there would be different opinions / views from different people and this would make the situation even worse instead of helping in the learning process.
Thanks & Regards

Self study is always better. Once the syllabus has been covered in the school, one should properly plan his studies. A particular period should be devoted for each subject keeping in mind your comfort level with the subject. It is always better to begin with the tougher ones first. Make it a point to clear lesson by lesson. Note down your doubts if you are unable to find solution by yourself. After completing a subject you should get your doubts cleared by your teacher or another expert. I recommend subject by subject study method because it helps you to comprehend and connect the entire subject in one phase. After the first revision is over, take some time to assess your studies. Try to cover up the drawbacks in the second revision. The final revision should be basically reading through the entire study material.
Preparing for exams won't be that tough for a student who is attentive in class and does his daily studies properly.
Remember, it should not be only studies. Give yourself enough breaks in between. Figure out the signals sent by your brain when it is exhausted and close your books then and there. Go for a walk, meet friends, watch some television, eat some snacks. But don't waste much time. Get back to studies once you are refreshed. And yes, a student should not expect himself to remain 100% fresh when he is preparing for exams.

Six Caribbean Soccer Officials Suspended After Bribery Hearing
Six Caribbean soccer officials were suspended by world governing body FIFA over involvement in a meeting where former presidential candidate Mohamed Bin Hammam allegedly offered bribes.
Patrick John, president of the Dominica Football Association, was banned from all activities in the sport for two years, the longest sanction handed down by the FIFA Ethics Committee. He was also fined 3,000 Swiss francs ($3,270), FIFA said in a statement.
The remaining suspensions ranged in length from 7 to 60 days, with each carrying a fine of 300 francs.
FIFA opened the probe after a May meeting of the Caribbean Football Union where Bin Hammam allegedly offered envelopes stuffed with $40,000. Bin Hammam, the former head of soccer in Asia, is appealing the lifetime ban he was given from the sport.
Vincent Cassell, president of the Montserrat Football Association, was suspended 60 days; Raymond Guishard, president of the Anguilla Football Association, was suspended 45 days; Noel Adonis, general secretary of the Guyana Football Federation, was suspended 30 days; Tandica Hughes, an official with the Montserrat federation, was suspended 15 days; and Everton Gonsalves, president of the Antigua and Barbuda Football Federation, was suspended seven days.
Derrick Gordon, general secretary of the Antigua and Barbuda federation, was reprimanded and fined 300 Swiss francs, while Philippe White of Dominica and Damien Hughes of Anguilla were found to have not committed any violation.
The cases against Oliver Camps of Trinidad and Tobago, Lionel Haven of the Bahamas and Patrick Mathurin of St. Lucia were closed since all three are no longer soccer officials, but will be re-opened should they return to the sport, FIFA said.
Bin Hammam became the highest-ranked soccer official to be excluded from the sport on July 23. FIFA has spent a year trying to deal with corruption allegations linked to the presidential election as well as the choice of host for the World Cup, which brings in $4 billion.
One of FIFA's vice presidents, Trinidad-based Jack Warner, quit the sport after being suspended pending a probe into him and Bin Hammam. He arranged the Qatari's meeting with the CFU and the duo were banned May 29.
FIFA dropped its case against Warner, saying "the presumption of innocence is maintained," following his withdrawal from the sport. Warner was also head of Concacaf, the regional soccer body for North and Central America and the Caribbean.
Bin Hammam is taking his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, denying the charge against him and saying it is politically motivated.

Excessive hairiness, also known as hirsutism, is characterized by abnormal hair growth on areas of skin that are not normally hairy. Although the condition can affect both men and women, it usually only presents a problem to women.
Excessive hairiness tends to run in families, especially in families of Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian descent. The excessive hairiness in children and women may be caused by pituitary or adrenal glands disorders. In addition, women may develop excessive hairiness after menopause. Anabolic steroids or corticosteroids, and certain medications, also may cause excessive hairiness.
Although diagnosis of excessive hairiness can be diagnosed with a medical history and physical examination. Finding the underlying cause for the condition may include blood tests.
Specific treatment for excessive hairiness will be determined by your doctor based on:
Your age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of the condition
Cause of the condition
Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, and therapies
Expectation for the course of the condition
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Removing the hair by shaving, plucking, waxing, depilatories, electrolysis, bleaching, or laser surgery
Medication (to control any underlying endocrine disorder)
Eflornithine is a prescription cream specifically used to slow down the growth of facial hair. It starts to work as soon as four to eight weeks after treatment is begun. The drug's possible side effects include skin irritation, a stinging sensation, and rash.

For stakeholders, such as investors and lenders, to appropriately assess a company's financial performance, the reported accounting earnings must closely reflect the economic reality of the organization's financial activity throughout the reporting period. The degree to which reported earnings capture economic reality is called earnings quality. Managers have an ethical obligation to report high quality earnings to interested stakeholders in a timely matter. Accounting research has identified conditions within an organization, such as management compensation contracts and pending litigation that can impact earnings quality. We extend this line of research by exploring whether another characteristic of an organization, gender diversity in senior management, influences the quality of reported earnings. Companies with more women in senior management are found to be more profitable and have higher stock returns after initial public offerings than those with fewer women in the management ranks. Our findings suggest that the improved bottom line for companies with more women senior executives is not produced through the management of earnings or lower quality earnings. Instead, earnings quality is positively associated with gender diversity in senior management.

I've started an attempt to get the various ASP.NET teams either blogging or (for me) ideally writing for MSDN about their favourite features in ASP.NET 2.0. There has been a lot written about the "Big features", but I think people are (or should be) also interested in the smaller refinements. Mike Pope has a great blog post on the changes to the controls on the "Web Controls" tab of the control palette.
And I *still* think the Substitution control is just a whacky (but incredibly neat) idea.

AbstractSpace Exploration Vehicles and Lunar Surface Systems require electromechanical systems that are varied and include long life capability, high reliability, high thermal tolerance, high vacuum tolerance, significantly lower mass and volume, higher mass specific power and improved efficiency over the state of practice components/systems. Space, Weight, Power efficiency, and Cost (SWaP-C) are the key performance drivers for most designs. The objective of this proposal is to demonstrate QM Power's high performance motor and actuator technology called Parallel Magnetic Circuit (PMCTM) that excels at all of those key performance parameters in low temperature lunar environments. PMC motors and actuators have higher power density (over 20% lower weight and volume than alternative high perofrmance electric motors and actuators), higher torque density, run cooler, and operate more efficiently (over 90-94%) over a wider power output range than any known conventional AC or DC motors or actuators.

Bewildering Bathroom Signs
For some fine restaurant establishments, run-of-the-mill restroom signs won't do. Instead, these venues think outside the box, change the norm, and end up with Little Red Riding Hood copping a lovely squat in the woods. And the Big Bad Wolf gets a urine stream that defies all gravity. It's a classier alternative, no? For more, visit eBaum's World!

I've mentioned before on here that I'm using Pingdom, and am quite happy with it. For the price it's awesome.
One of the features that took us to them is that they have monitoring sites all over the world. Our hope was that this would give us a cheap way to tell if something in our routing is b0rked, and some part of the world can't see us. Unfortunately, they'll only alert if two different sites can't see you.
What I'm looking for is a similar monitoring system that will tell me if any individual site can't get to me. Some logic on their side to tell the difference between me being out and them being out would be great, but I'll take it even without.
[Edit] Some clarification: I've only got one site (both logically and physically) that I want to monitor from many places.
[Edit 2] I'm happy to pay for this service. I'm already paying Pingdom, and probably would continue to do so even with this new service, assuming that they don't have a huge overlap in what they do.

I have a habit to logoff and then sleep the computer in order to eliminate boot time but restart all user programs. I have to click logoff, wait for the login screen and then click sleep. I wonder if there is a way to do both with one click. A script maybe?
Just click on your Windows Start Icon and search "sleep". Click on "Change When Computer Sleeps." You can easily change when your computer automatically go to sleep.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) -- With the passage of the federal health care overhaul, comes a new tax for tanning salons.
Starting in July, a new federal tax will cost customers 10 percent more to tan.
Tax writers say they expect the tax to generate $2.7 billion for expanding health coverage to the uninsured.
Health officials say the tax might be good for decreasing the risk of skin cancer, but local salon owners say the tax increases the risk of failing businesses.
Nationwide there are more than 18,000 tanning salons, more than 15 locations in Topeka.

Is there a way in Windows to indicate on all displays which window|process has the keyboard focus, only on demand by a keyboard shortcut?
(For example with a bigger and centered visual indicator (per display) with the icon and the title, or perhaps mask-coloring all displays with the active app standing out.)
My problem is that when needed to task-switch with many programs (or have focus-stealing ones), I often get slightly distracted from work continuously which over time gets irritating.
How does one lose the focus?
- Windows has allowed focus stealing by default
- even when setting the TweakUI setting, some application manage to steal it
- some always-on-top applications ruin the task-switch list by racing as the first or second list element
- and the MRU algorithm of task switching does not always work for me intuitively when working with more than 2 programs (it's more like vice versa, actually)
Why I just not use the taskbar? I find it less than optimal for several reasons, all of which actually distracts me slightly from working. As I need to find the focus often (working with 3+ applications), the constant slight simulation is actually irritating. The reasons:
- the taskbar is not featured on each display by default
- it lists all running applications, one needs to "parse" it to find the single relevant one
- even if the indicator color would stand out, it's position still dynamically changes
- it is either using up too much screen space constantly (most of the time for no reason) or is too small to spot the current app in optimal time. This can a problem with smaller monitors.
- it can be set to dynamically hidden, but that can be distracting. If unintentionally evoked and/or slow when evoked on purpose (some versions even featuring the resizing of the desktop space which is quite distracting)
(The "activation by keyboard shortcut" method would be optimal for minimizing distraction time for keyboard-heavy workflows.)
I think these are general UX problems and a simple alternative focus visualizer could help them.


text: Hi, I just downloaded and installed the Arras theme on my blog and am having some problems with the slideshow. It works fine with the default settings, but when I change the "News Category" in the "Categories" option tab of the configuration menu to anything other than "All Categories" the slideshow stops working. If I set it back to "All Categories" the slideshow starts working again. Any help would be appreciated.

Kaley Cuoco stars as Penny, Sheldon and Leonard's beautiful next door neighbor. Penny is an aspring actress that currently works at the local Cheesecake Factory.
Penny moved across the halls from the boys after her split from her boyfriend of four years, Kurt. She briefly dated Sheldon, but it did not work out due to her insecurity about her intelligence.
Penny Quotes
Penny: Hey, Sheldon, did you change your Wi-Fi password again?
Sheldon: Yes, it's "Penny, get your own Wi-Fi." No spaces.
Penny: Here's a question-- as an alien pretending to be human, are you planning to engage in any post-prom mating rituals with Amy?
Sheldon: There are post-prom mating rituals?
Penny: Not always. Unless your date drives a van with an air mattress, then always.
Sheldon: Well, if it's part of the prom experience, then I'm open to it.
Penny: You're kidding.
Sheldon: I may be an alien, but I have urges.If Amy wants to copulate by firing her eggs into space, well, then, I will happily catch them with the reproductive sac on my upper flermin. I'm not the best at reading facial cues, but I can see that you're a little turned on.

I can't determine any real-world use for this case. First, you have to completely remove the computer from the case to log-in using the keyboard. Next, it's very difficult to hold the tablet in a usable position because of the placement of the carrying strap--when you are trying to use the tablet, the screen is upside down. If the case is worn so the screen faces away from your body, you have to cross the straps and wrap them under the tablet. If you wear it the other way, the straps cover the screen until you move them each to the sides. If you are medium-tall height the strap won't be long enough to allow these configurations. Finally, the sides of the case leave all the ports exposed so you will need to store this in a separate bag anyways.
I wouldn't even carry this in public it's so awful looking. Very cheap looking. Design is awkward and doesn't seem usable. Bummed...I was hopeful.

Comment Trump asks for what US has long done (Score 1) 999
As Glenn Greenwald of The Intercept reminds us, "Governments do spy on each other and do try to influence events in other countries, certainly the U.S. government has a very long and successful history of doing exactly that.". So hearing Americans, particularly Democrats, complain about Trump's request here reminds us the US has unclean hands and about far more important things than distracting us away from the ugliness the Democrats apparently sic on each other to win political races. Some of that increased ugliness includes voter shenanigans (possibly voter suppression) to make it harder for would-be Bernie Sanders voters to vote in the Democratic primary, collusion with news outlets to suppress unfavorable stories, and possible illegality from the DLC. These strike me as far more interesting considering the veracity of the DLC emails remains unchallenged.
The last thing the Democrats really want is people thinking about Hillary Clinton's voting record, or campaign funding sources. That analysis won't go down well with anti-war, pro-universal health care, pro-organized labor, anti-fracking, anti-TPP voters the Democrats seem to be losing. Such discussion might lead these voters to notice that the Democrats are apparently as interested as the Republicans in using a distractionary fear-based campaign against the only competition they're willing to admit to (no talk of Greens or Libertarians, for instance, people might defect or demand inclusive debates).

Once again, Ta-Nehisi Coates nails it:
It is the wisdom of the crowd that matters. The wisdom that marked Sunday's crowd was the idea that the president "bows down to Allah" and needs to "put the Qu'ran down." The wisdom that marked Sunday's crowd was the notion that Obama was not the president of "the people" but the president of "his people." The wisdom of Sunday's crowd held that the police, doing their job, looked "like something out of Kenya." It's not so much that a man would fly a Confederate flag, as Jeff Goldberg notes, in front of the home of a black family. It's that a crowd would allow him the comfort of doing it.

|20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of "The Killing Joke" on sale now
While his most famous cover image of the Joker --that of the seminal graphic novel âBatman: The Killing Jokeâ -- adorned the front of Torontoâs Fan Expo program, fan-favorite artist Brian Bolland found more than a few other characters to sketch for fans in attendance, from Judge Dredd to Animal Man. But with âThe Dark Knightâ still fresh in comics fansâ minds, the Joker was of course the biggest âdrawâ of all, and there were a number of devotees lining up every morning for a chance to nab a shot of the Clown Prince of Crime from the extremely meticulous Bolland, who can only complete about nine sketches a day.
Luckily for CBR, the waves of fans approaching Bollandâs table were happy to stand with mouths agape and silently watch the artist work, meaning there was plenty of peace and quiet to conduct an interview with Boland on his somewhat accelerated convention schedule, the ins and outs of drawing with a ballpoint pen, and a few teases of whatâs up next for this most acclaimed creator.
CBR: Brian, your name isnât often seen on the bills for many conventions and other events, especially in North America. Have you been trying to make more personal appearances?
|Covers by Brian Bolland
Brian Bolland: Well, I really donât remember the year, but some time in the â90s I was invited to a show in Norfolk, Virginia, and I was a guest, David Mazzucchelli was a guest, and Colleen Doran was a guest. And we got to the convention center in Norfolk, walked in and there was about four or five dealers there and no paying customers -- at all. And we stood around, and one guy walked in who had bought a ticket to come in, and the only reason heâd done it was because he was the best friend of the guy whoâd organized the convention. Over the entire weekend, David and Colleen and I and one or two others sat up on panels and talked amongst ourselves to a completely empty room! So that wasnât particularly the reason, but I didnât come to America for another eight years after that.
But then I was invited to [Comic-Con International in] San Diego in 2006, and I went there, and Iâve been coming [to America] every year since. I was in New York in February 2007, so Iâm making it an annual event now. Iâm a little less rare than I used to be.
Itâs been very interesting to see whatâs been happening with the new edition of âBatman: The Killing Jokeâ in terms of sales. The new Batman movie, âThe Dark Knight,â seems to have given your book a really healthy bump, particularly to people in the mass market who may not have read a Batman comic before. When you sat down to rework the colors, did you say, âLetâs line this up with the movie?â
|"Jack of Fables" covers by Brian Bolland
Well, itâs possible that the collected editions department at DC knew that, but I think theyâre doing collected editions of just about everything at the moment. And it just so happened that I was in the DC offices in February of 2007, and Bob Harras, whoâs the editor of collected editions said, âThis is what weâre doing.â And I said, âLook, can I recolor it please?â I wasnât particularly thinking that there was a movie coming along, not at all really, but I suppose there is a kind of serendipity about it.
I suppose itâs the new edition is a nice kind of thing that you can buy in a book shop. I assume itâs available to people who wouldnât even consider buying a comic book because it looks like a book, doesnât it?
Weâve been watching you sketch a little during the show, and amongst all your specific pencils and sharpies and art pens, youâre working with a regular Bic ballpoint, which is pretty non-traditional, surely?
Well, that seems to be a little bit of a talking point. It just so happened that when I was coming over here on the plane, the only tool I had in hand was a ballpoint pen. And back home, I donât use any tools like that. I work entirely on a computer, so Iâm completely unconfident with any real world tools. And a lot of these things, you start the drawing and you find that the pen youâre using has a very thick line to it, and itâs not very satisfactory. But I wouldnât use this to reproduce from. This is really just for convention sketches, so I hope I donât start a trend of people drawing with ballpoint pens.
|Brian Bolland will create covers for a new Animal Man project
A lot of illustrators make a considerable chunk of their living selling original artwork. How much has that changed for you now that you have been working exclusively with the computer for so many years? Was it ever a factor in your career when it came to going digital?
I went digital because other people were coloring my work, and the computer color really does swamp the line drawing, and I thought if anyone was going to swamp my line drawing with color, it was going to be me. So I just had to learn the whole process, and there is really no distinction between working on the color and working on the line. Youâre using the same pen that comes with the Wacom tablet, so you might as well use it to do the drawing. In my case, I find that I liked that. But it does, if youâre thinking in terms of selling your artwork; well, there is no artwork. So itâs a disadvantage, that. But in terms of all the possibilities you have available with a computer, itâs just such an attractive thing to do.
Do you find youâre producing work faster since youâve gone digital?
No. No, I think it balances out because you can blow your image up very large and work on tiny details which are so tiny the printing process is going to lose them. So you often end up losing time because you get interested in a particular detail. It just gives you more possibilities, more options. If you donât like the position of an arm, you can just move it. If you think the head is too small, you can make it bigger or smaller. You can move the figure up in relation to another figure. So itâs not a quickening process, itâs a process that gives you more possibilities.
|"Camelot 3000 Deluxe Edition" on sale in November
These days weâre seeing so many different museums showcasing art boards from traditional comic book artists. Do you think it would be cool to present an art show that was all flat screen monitors displaying digital work like yours, where viewers could zoom in and out to examine the detail?
Thatâs a really interesting idea, isnât it? To have an interactive art show where you can zoom in on the image and zoom out on it. You need to do that, donât you? What a great idea. [Laughs] I mean, I personally am just not interested in the idea of comics as collectible art -- the idea that my image, once itâs done, is just going to go to some wealthy collector and is not going to be seen by anybody else. My biggest thrill is when I see my work in print. If I see my work reproduced several times over, I get a real thrill from that. I donât get a thrill from handing over a piece of artwork and never seeing it again.
To wrap up, what can you tell us about your upcoming work?
Well, at the moment, Iâm regular cover artist on âJack of Fables,â which is a Vertigo book. Iâm supposed to be doing a series of âThe Spritâ covers. And theyâre going to do a little run of âAnimal Man,â and I think thereâs also going to be a Zatanna series that Iâve done one cover for. Weâre doing a deluxe edition of âCamelot 3000â which I did first for DC, and I have to turn in a new cover for that. So Iâm cover guy for the moment, but there are all sorts of other projects which I kind of have in mind -- maybe one which is a little more commercial and maybe others that would be commercial death for me that no one would actually buy. Iâm not really sure, but mainly Iâm a cover artist at the moment.

Sir.—I consider my medical training to have been divided into three parts. The first period was the education and experience I received before medical school and residency (BMSR), the second was during medical school and residency (DMSR), and the last was after medical school and residency (AMSR). Each period provided a unique perspective, but was not complete in itself.
My medical training experience was a sheltered world where an aversion to the acute embarrassment of having the chief resident point out a flaw in my workup resulted in a compulsion to order extensive and generally uninformative batteries of tests for even the simplest of problems. It took 2 years after leaving my residency program for me to decompress from this environmentally induced paranoia.
Of course it did not surprise me that 65% of AMSR pediatricians would not order roentgenography on an asymptomatic child who had swallowed a coin. The

Using the oscillator
Using the oscillator
So let's take a look at the oscillator section. The first thing I'm going to want to do is actually change the setting here to a preset that is more neutral. When you open up ES M, or any of the other Logic instruments, the default preset sometimes has a lot going on. In this case, there's some filter modulation and so on. So what we're going to do is go to the Preset menu that's up top and select ES_M Start. If you didn't see ES_M Start in the Preset menu, make sure to refer back to the "Using the Exercise Files" video. I show you how to put preset files in the correct folders so they show up in the menu.
So taking a look at the oscillator, essentially what we can do is adjust the balance between a sawtooth waveform and a 50% rectangular waveform that's an octave lower. So what I'll do right now is I'll play a note and I'll adjust the balance between the sawtooth and square. (music playing) So you can see, as I move the knob, the waveform is changing, and you can hear that there's an octave lower that's coming in. And then halfway, I've got this 50% balance between the two. I go further right and you can see it's becoming a square wave an octave lower.
So you can hear the different harmonic components, and they sound different. And so it's a really important aspect of any sound you're going to make is, what is a waveform, and it's also something that you might want to have it change over time, or modulate is another term for that. So that's always what I'm thinking in the back of my mind is, what aspects are going to make this sound interesting? And so a big part of that is the waveform. The next thing in the oscillator section here that's important is choosing the octave. So you'll see on the left 8, 16, and 32.
What that refers to is 8 feet, 16 feet, and 32 feet. And that terminology comes from pipe organs. So the longer the pipe for the organ, the lower the pitch. So 8 is going to be the highest octave, so I can play that, 16 is an octave lower, and 32 is an octave below that. So once you've got your octave set, the other thing that you want to consider is the Glide parameter, which is down here. And what Glide does is it transitions between two different pitches.
So right now if I have a Glide time of 0--that's where it's set; I am going to have this all the way to the left here-- when I play two different notes-- I'll play A and then A an octave higher--that's instantaneous; that pitch change is immediate. If I want that to interpolate, or sort of glide between those two notes, I can set the amount of time in this control here. So if I set this in the middle, you'll hear that when I play-- I'll play the lower note-- (music playing) you can hear it glides into that higher octave. And the more time that I give it, the longer that transition takes.
So this will take some time, so I'll play the lower one. And now it's gliding up to the higher octave. (music playing) And that's what the Glide parameter does. And so once we've got our oscillator all set, it's going to send it to the low- pass filter, and that's where we'll shape the sound, so let's check that out in the next video.

Google Reader Is Dead
This is the end.
As announced in March to the exaggerated dismay of a vocal, select few, Google's RSS reader will euphemistically "retire" today, going the way of Google Buzz and Google Wave. "While the product has a loyal following," the company explained, "over the years usage has declined." (Digg hopes to carry that torch into the blog-reading future.)
Good luck with Google+, whatever that is.

This stout, emollient pencil needs regular sharpening. It has a very smooth, creamy texture that glides on, but because the creaminess remains, fading and smudging occur shortly after application. Each shade is infused with glitter and it tends to separate from the color as the liner breaks down during wear. This inexpensive pencil is OK if you want a messy, smudged, morning-after eye-makeup design, but it's terrible for day-to-day or evening glamour makeup.
Wet 'n' Wild At-A-Glance
Strengths: Inexpensive, good tinted moisturizer with sunscreen; some attractive bronzing powders; mostly good eyeshadow and lipstick options.
Weaknesses: Unimpressive concealers; large assortment of average to poor eyelining products; the mascaras do little to impress; some lip products suffer from the inclusion of irritants; the makeup brushes.
Wet 'n' Wild is one of the few cosmetics companies around that prides itself on being extraordinarily cheap, although the prices have increased across the board since we last revisited this brand. But don't let its hokey name and pre-teen marketing tactics deter you, because there are some great options available, and the packaging has improved in almost every category. The best-performing products will seem like steals, while the less impressive to horrible products will quickly have you thinking, "you get what you pay for." It is not very often that a line offers such a procession of clear-cut winners and dismal losers, but once you know what to focus on, you won't get soaked by Wet 'n' Wild. This line is available in most major drugstores across the country, and, like most drugstore lines, does not offer testers. Interestingly, the selection of Wet 'n' Wild in Canadian drugstores tends to be better than what U.S. shoppers will find.

January 2015 visiting physician volunteers
On January 21-23. 2015, Dr. Michel Ange Ferdinand, a family practice physician from New Jersey, was ecstatic to visit Leogane and work at the Rasin Foundation Medical clinic. In one morning session, he was able to see 15 patients while other providers were also working. He loved the community and the calming and welcoming atmosphere of the clinic and promised to return and connect us with other colleagues for the benefit of the people ofLeogane.
Thanks for new Gyn Exam Table Donation and Electricity
Thanks to Dr. Kenneth Pariser and Dr. Eva Balash, the Rasin Foundation Medical Clinic is fitted with a gynecological exam room. The clinic staff was very happy to also receive the equipment including office chairs and an autoclave machine. Also in the past two months, the clinic has been repainted and connected to the electrical grid! Thanks to all our donors who made it possible to bring electricity to the clinic.

Nothing happens when the thumbnail map was clicked. I've read something about problem with js query in the previous threads but I'm really new to WordPress and have zero programming knowledge.
If it is a problem with the theme can someone let me know how I should ask the theme author for help?
