Families introduce kids to Comic Con culture while defending against adult themes
"They haven't seen any of (the new Batman movies) yet, and that's OK. They love the cartoon ones," Leavitt said. "The darker ones, I mean, I personally like them because I'm a big Batman fan, but for my boys, no, not yet."
Gardner grew up a fan of sci-fi movies and television. His son Andrew is a faithful Dr. Who fan and came to the convention sporting a shirt inspired by the popular BBC series and knee-length socks resembling The Doctor's iconic blue police box. His father saw Salt Lake's first Comic Con as a chance to learn more about his son's interests.
"What's fun for me is watching him. He knows all the characters more than I do. It's fun to be able to spend time with him, on a level and doing something he enjoys so immensely," Gardner said. "And of course, I'm having a lot of fun."
Comics and kids
Andrew Gardner is a voracious comic book reader. The 12-year-old said he's happy to have any comic from the DC or Marvel universes in his hands, but especially Green Lantern, Aquaman, Deathstroke, Batman and Superman.
"It makes me daydream about, 'What if I had these powers? What if I could be like them, and would I be good or bad?'" Andrew said. "I would always be good."
For Andrew, the illustration and flow of comic books is better than a regular book.
"It's awesome," he said.
Gardner said he and his wife have talked to their son about how to select age-appropriate comics, and the nearly 13-year-old has been careful about what he chooses.
"He comes and talks to us and says, 'Hey, is this one OK? Is this one appropriate?'" Gardner said. "Of course there's concerns about them, but for the most part we trust that he'll choose the right when it comes to that sort of thing."
For Rachael and Jonathan Pust, owners of the Heebeegeebeez comics and game shop, fun is the whole point, no matter what age. The couple ran a busy booth at the event offering a selection of comics and merchandise from their four locations.
Rachael Pust juggled her 7-month-old daughter in a baby carrier as she helped customers. Running the business day-to-day, she has noticed an adult crowd that is returning to the comic book stories they loved as kids now that they have reached a more comfortable financial standing.
Many of them are bringing their children with them.
"I think the great thing about parents trying to get their children into comics right now is they use it as a reward system, and it's reading material to get their kids involved in literacy," Rachael Pust said. "It's really fun, especially for dads, to introduce their kids to something that was special to them when they were young that has been revamped."
The Pusts help customers find the right comic for their age, interest and maturity level. The comics they carry are ranked with a rating system, ranging from fun stories for kids 10 and under, up to teen and adult comics.
Comics for adult readers have moved away from the traditional battle of good versus evil, exploring a darker middle ground between the two.
"It's not your dad's Superman anymore," Rachael Pust said. "It's really turned into an art form, and with that in mind, you have to expect the darker parts of our culture and our existence and life to be included there."
Their oldest daughter, 19-year-old Joslyn, said the key for families is knowing which comics are intended for which age group. As she grew, she asked her parents to help her choose comics that would interest her and discussed the story with them after she finished. Now, she does the same for families that come into the store.
"I can be like, 'Here, this is what I got into at this age. This is the more age-appropriate (story) that they're going to be able to relate to,'" Joslyn Pust said. "Even now I'm barely getting into some of the older ones that are more mature and definitely a bit more in-depth."

Asian markets were mixed Tuesday after US shares tapped fresh records for a fourth straight session, while a weaker yen helped Japan's Nikkei extend its recent rally to hit a seven-year high.
Tokyo rose 2.05 percent, or 343.58 points, to 17,124.11 -- its best finish since October 2007 -- while Seoul added 0.24 percent, or 4.77 points, to 1,936.00 and Hong Kong ended 0.27 percent, or 63.58 points, higher at 23,808.28.
However, Sydney drifted 0.12 percent, or 6.9 points, to 5,517.1 and Shanghai ended 0.16 percent, or 4.00 points, off at 2,469.67.
Wall Street continued its impressive run Monday, adding to Friday's gains after data showed jobs creation was healthy in October and the unemployment rate hit a six-year low.
The figures were the latest indicating the world's top economy is on the path to recovery, with investors now keen to find out when the Federal Reserve plans to increase interest rates.
The Dow rose 0.23 percent and the S&P 500 added 0.31 percent, both hitting records for a fourth successive session, while the Nasdaq was up 0.41 percent.
In Tokyo the Nikkei resumed its uptrend as the yen dipped against the dollar, with analysts forecasting the index will march on through the rest of the year after the Bank of Japan's stimulus injection last month.
The dollar was at 115.60 yen, compared with 114.83 yen in New York and sharply up from 114.16 yen in Tokyo earlier Monday.
The euro bought $1.2407 compared with $1.2420, while it was also at 143.58 yen against 142.62 yen.
Also providing support to Tokyo stocks is Japan's $1.26-trillion public pension fund -- the world's biggest -- which said last month it would double the amount of equities in its investment portfolio, as it seeks higher returns to cope with a rapidly ageing population.
Daiwa Securities senior strategist Tsuyoshi Nomaguchi told Dow Jones Newswires he expects the Nikkei will climb to the 18,000 mark from its present level around 16,900.
On oil markets US benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI) for December delivery fell 27 cents to $77.13 while Brent crude for December eased 34 cents to $82.00 in afternoon trade.
WTI tumbled $1.25 and Brent lost $1.05 on Monday after Kuwait said the 12-nation Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries is unlikely to cut output when it meets in Vienna on November 27.
Gold was at $1,150.00 an ounce, compared with $1,171.30 late Monday.
In other markets:
-- Taipei edged down 0.18 percent, or 15.84 points, to 9,034.14.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co closed 0.37 percent lower at Tw$134.0 while Hon Hai Precision Industry fell 0.61 percent to Tw$97.7.
-- Wellington rose 0.37 percent, or 20.45 points, to 5,490.79.
Meridian Energy was up 2.01 percent at NZ$1.775 and Warehouse Group gained 0.31 percent to NZ$3.20.
-- Manila closed 0.17 percent higher, adding 12.43 points to 7,204.55.
Philippine Long Distance Telephone rose 1.56 percent to 2,996 pesos and Ayala Land gained 1.31 percent to 34.75 pesos, but casino operator Bloombery Resorts fell 7.48 percent to 13.12 pesos

Theoretical and Practical Aspects of Loudspeaker Bass Unit Design
This paper presents a practical and useful approach to the problem of ensuring the optimization of the many variables present in base unit and cabinet design. A design procedure and computer program are derived from current theory. Examples of driver and cabinet design combinations are given for different requirements. The paper proves that for every cabinet a specially designed bass driver must be used for optimum response characteristics.

I'm madder than a kid with his fingers caught in the cookie jar before he even gets a crumb over all this hooey we're hearing about the "debt ceiling" and how the country is going broke!
Every time I open a newspaper, watch the news, turn on the radio, or go on the Interweb, all I hear about is how the country is bankrupt and that the government is going to stop issuing Social Securities checks to guys like you and me that have earned every penny!
Well that's a smart idea. And when I say "That's a smart idea," I mean "That's the dumbest thing I ever heard!"
I'll tell you right now that if I don't have any money, neither does my butcher, and you all know that I pay that guy's salary. And I tend to kick some money in over at the supermarket, too. And the bakeries — cannolis don't grown on trees! So if you want to put everybody out of business, be my guest and don't mail me that check.
You know, I thought Obama's original idea was to circulate money to make money. Wasn't that the basis of his plan?
Now, I hear that some clowns in Washington (and I use the term loosely) want to put a one percent tax on every bank transaction I make. If they do that, you won't see me and trusty Tornardo making our daily sojourns to the ATM machine. No siree bub!
And I hear Obama wants to tax the rich and giant corporations to take in more coin. So he's saying millionaires and billionaires can afford higher taxes? How dare he!
You know something else? All these big banks, which we bailed out, can't be trusted. They're more worried about the crazy amount of foreclosures they're dealing with than helping the communities they serve! And that's a fact.
We've given to the rich to save the poor, and they've happily taken, and given nothing back! Where's Robin Hood when you need him!
You know something, maybe the answer to all this is to dig up Jesse James and Brookyn's own Slick Willie Sutton to go back in business so we can get some of this money in our empty pockets!
Of course I've got all the answers. You wanna put America back on track? just follow the Screecher's three-point plan:
• Stop sending jobs overseas: I remember a time when the dock was a place for high-paying jobs and allegories of McCarthyism, but now, it seems like the only thing we're exporting is jobs! This has to end, Charlie!
• Fix our infrastructure: We've gotta replace our bridges, tunnels, sewers, waterworks, and the like, so we've gotta do like FDR did — and I'm not talking about fireside chats! I'm talking about 1935 and the Works Progress Administration and the Rural Electrification Administration.
• Other things that I can't think of right now: There are probably hundreds of other things we can do that I can't think of right now.
Look, much to the chagrin of my butcher, I'll be going on vacation next week and the first thing I know I'm not going to do is read the newspapers or listen to the news on TV and radio. I got enough tsuris to worry about (That ain't a typo! Look it up!).
But what I will do when I'm on vacation and feeling down is pop open my laptop and read some of the funny jokes I've saved on it.
Here's one from my friend Maxine, who says she has the cure for any senior who's worried he won't have enough money to get into an old-age home.
Her ingenious advice: get yourself arrested!
In prison, you'll get three squares a day, a roof over your head, central air conditioning and all the health care you need! Need a new hip? No problem! Glasses? They've got them for you, free of charge! And while we're at it, let's fix those teeth. Plus, your kids can come visit as often as they like, and you don't even have to put up coffee!
And guess who'll be paying for this life of luxury: the same government that said it can't afford to put you in a home. Plus, because you are a prisoner, you don't have to pay any income taxes anymore. Is this a great country, or what?
And then there's that little knee-slapper about President Obama being awarded the "Walking Eagle" plaque by Native Americans.
If you haven't heard it, let me tell. If you have, then I'll screech at you next week.
President Obama was invited to address Native Americans in upstate New York.
He spoke for an hour about his plans for increasing every Native American's standard of living. He was vague about the details, but spoke enthusiastically and eloquently.
At the conclusion of his speech, he was presented with a plaque inscribed with his new Indian name — "Walking Eagle."
The proud President Obama accepted the plaque and then departed in his motorcade to a fundraiser, waving to the crowds.
A news reporter then asked how the new name had been selected for the President.
It was explained to him that "Walking Eagle" represents a bird that is so full of it, it can no longer fly!
Screech at you next week!

I wish Penn State would win a game b4 WI finale. Who wants to tempt fate with that one? Something tells me that's not going to happen tonight against MI. I hope I am wrong.Hide replies
I think PSU will win one game ... at NW. NW is not the same team that started the season.
Very true and a good bet. They are so beat up with injuries, I feel bad for them because they can't compete.
Like I said Mac ... I think PSU will win TWO games. Michigan (LOL) AND Northwestern.
Suspect the worst Indiana can do is tie for first. Mich has a chance if they can get by Mich State but then still has to beat Indiana. Mich State, well has a chance if they beat Mich and Wisc. Wisc has a chance against Mich State but got beat up inside pretty good last time around and didn't hit much from outside. Jared and Evans both are more effective with a quick release rather than duking around and until they get doubled up. Wisc best chance probably to go with more size if the size can stay out of foul trouble. Then if they beat Mich State still have Penn State to worry about. It will be interesting for Wisc to see what happens at Penn State tonight.Hide replies
Looking back at the first MSU game, the major culprits were making only 7-18 free throws and shooting under 30% from the field. The Badgers ended up even in rebounds with 32 and had had 14 O rebounds compared to 7 for MSU. With Jackson playing much better, Dekker earning more minutes and Brust becoming a sniper, this should be a heck of a game. And, no, I'm not looking past Purdue. I don't think Bo and the boys will either.
When you shoot bad you should get alot O rebounds. When you shoot good you shouldn't. When you play the way Wisc did in that game about the only way you can come out ahead is with turnovers and rebounds. What I saw on the inside was that Mich State was very tough to score against.
My somewhat biased prediction:
2. Ind. 14-4
3. Mich. 13-5
Wouldn't that be awesome?Hide replies
Yes, indeed, it would be awesome. And, not that much of a stretch.
Winning at East Lansing would represent a stretch. Sparty has owned the Badgers the last couple years; it would be nice to reverse that trend when it matters most--next week and in the Big 10 Tourney. MSU is in the running to replace the maize and blue as my most despised school in The Conference.
This is a completely different Badger team than played Jan. 22nd. If the Badgers were to win, I wouldn't consider it much of an upset.
Well, I DID say it was somewhat biased, b-i-b. Maybe more than 'somewhat'.
eddie, I'm too lazy to figure it out. Who do you have beating IU in that scenario? OSU or MI?
I not only share but celebrate your bias. It's called being a fan. What a fantastic twenty year run for Badger Hoops!
Ah yes its fun to create a bias, one can only hope.
But it does seem like the msu-UW game will be a must win for both teams.
Unfortunately its in the Breslin, we had our chance here but couldnt hit the broadside of a barn, against a tough defensive team.....similar to the mn loss in the Barn.
On paper, the Badgers remaining schedule looks so favorable that I wish the players wouldn't read this blog item. It would be easy to coast, which would lead to an upset or two down the stretch, an early exit from Big 10 Tourney, lost confidence, lost momentum, and a March bummer. I remember a brutal Penn State game in recent Big 10 Tourney play as an example.
This team may possess more talent, mental tougness, and focus than other recent Badger March pretenders. Now is the time to prove they are exceptional. Finish strong. It's one game at a time season, lads. Just win, baby. Feel free to toss in any other relevant platitudes from that other sport.
Sporting Badger attire every waking moment on the forgotten Third Coast (We prefer it that way.),
On Wisconsin!
Off topic but perhaps of interest given comments about officiating this year. If you didn't see the end of regulation in Big Monday's Kansas-Iowa State game, you missed one of the worst calls ever. KU player goes down the lane with 4 seconds to go, collides with Iowa State defender and both go down. Could argue charge or block but, incredibly with 2 guys on the floor, the officials call neither. Then they called a foul on the Iowa State guy on the floor for holding. KU hits both free throws and game goes to OT. This after a few seconds earlier they called a foul on KU but on the wrong guy as replay clearly showed. Should have been their good center's 5th but he got to stay in for OT. So bad that Big 12 yesterday acknowledged both calls were errors. Two veteran officials - one of whom worked last year's NCAA title game. Just a bad year for officiating.Hide replies
Absolutely some of the worst officiating ever. To me it looked like an obvious charge. I do agree that an argument could be made to call a block, but a call had to be made one way or the other. Then to call a foul on the ISU player on the floor was incredible. How many times have we seen players dive into a scrum, bodies colliding, and no foul called? Add to it all by calling the foul on the wrong guy. I think part of the problem is the top officials call too many games.
kc - it sometimes seems that officials almost subliminally keep stars in the game. I can't say that they willingly cheat, but the end result is the same.
Two of them, though?
IMHO, the officials haven't changed. However, the conferences want to ensure the highest seeds for their big boys, a la SEC Football. As a result, unjust "funny things" happen at the end of games--funny, that is, unless you're pulling for an upset by your underdog school. As a Badger fan, I remember those days well, especially against michi on the gridiron and IU on the hardwood. Now, MSU seems to get all the calls late in both sports. Does The Conference feel obligated to keep the state of Michigan interested by providing special treatment in an effort to keep their schools winning?
Well, they have so little else to look forward to in Michigan beyond their sports teams, b-i-b. It is a humanitarian effort.
Well, there's the fishing opener eddie.
That was a charge all the way. And if not, it should be a block. Terrible no-call anyway you cut it. Missed the call on the wrong guy.
Yes, it seems that refs sometimes favor the star player and the annointed teams.
My take is call the game consistently, without regard to the player, or to the time left on the clock.
My peave is when officials refuse to make a call that is obviously a foul when putting up a last possession shot at the end of a tie game. It is not a license to kill.
Iowa St got hosed! That guy was outside the control arc, under the rim,
he was there in position, thats an automatic charge on the offensive player.
The refs are not consistent calling layup fouls inside. Sometimes they do and sometimes they dont. And the same holds true for an NBA like continuation call sometimes the basket counts and sometimes it doesnt.
And defenses are more intense now or so it seems this year.......and the refs seem to letting the defenses play on because they are the aggressor.
But still the refs dont miss 3's or point blank shots the players do.
Stating the obvious, MSU game will come down to which UW team shows up. They will need their A game all the way. If shots fall and they get to the line with 65 % success, I like their chances. Stranger things certainly have happened. MSU is in for a battle Sunday as well against MI.
I came up with the same final standings Eddie. Wisconsin wins out, MSU beats Michigan, Michigan beats Indiana. Simple.
These last three wins have been incredible.
Jackson is turning into a true pt gd. Brust and Dekker and yes Evans are doing great at scoring, esp. Brust and Dekkers FG%.
Bruiser and Berg are monsters on the glass and even if they dont score they are doing what Seniors should do ; they make everyone else look better.
Two more wins for sure and probably two in the BIG tourney followed by another Sweet 16,
and if the chips fall maybe an elite 8 the way they are playing - right now.
Keep on keepin ON Wisconsin!
Anyway you look at it another great basketball season in Wisconsin. Both UW and MU are
"sweet" teams after shaky starts. Wow I'll never doubt again!Hide replies
But i do reserve the right to get pi**ed at poor play. HA!
Tie game @ Penn State with Michigan with 4.5 minutes to go.Hide replies
and down goes Michigan...my predictions for the finish are already wrong
That's OK eddie. I said "no way" MI loses at PSU. Glad they notched their first BIG win b4 WI finale. I couldn't make this stuff up! This is the craziest CBB season and the BIG may be leader that charge.
Purdue's top scorer just hurt his ankle or knee...straight to the locker room.

First Listen: Gang Of Four, 'Content'
Audio for this feature is no longer available.
Gang of Four, a provocative dance band with a history of making smart and vital rock, makes you think on your feet. In 1978, the shock of punk's punch had music lovers wondering how the hell to follow the previous year's initial burst of revolutionary music. Gang of Four led the way with an EP called Damaged Goods, followed by one of rock music's smartest and most urgent albums, Entertainment.
It's been more than 15 years since Gang of Four released a new album, but Content is as angular and questioning as the band was when schoolmates Jon King (lead vocals) and Andy Gill (guitar) first formed Gang of Four in 1977. Gill's biting bursts of funk and dub helped inspire Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, Red Hot Chili Peppers (Gill produced that band's first album) and R.E.M., and even Kurt Cobain said that Nirvana started as a Gang of Four ripoff. But this isn't a guitar band; it's a band of four where drums, bass and voice all share the same space, and where four thinkers thrive to present a view of the world not found elsewhere.
Content will stream here in its entirety until Jan. 25. Please leave your thoughts on the album in the comments section below.

Surgical Clips
Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
In May 2000, I had a lumpectomy done. I had a clip left in my breast to mark the location of the procedure. Is it possible to be allergic to this clip? I am very aware of this breast and have the sensation that feels like I'm being pinched inside that breast or stuck with a pin. My recent mammogram says everything is all right. The breast is not painful but at times it is uncomfortable to lie directly on that breast.
Lawrence J. Solin, MD, FACR, Professor of Radiation Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, responds:
The surgeon often places surgical clips to mark the area of the primary tumor to help the radiation oncologist deliver the radiation treatment to the proper location. These clips are well tolerated by patients. Surgical clips are widely used by surgeons in many locations in the body, including the breast.
Since the cancer treatment was done less than two years ago, other explanations are more likely. One possible explanation is that the feelings and sensations described are related to the healing process after surgery plus radiation. Another possible explanation is that sensory nerves can be cut during the surgery, and this can lead to sensations that are perceived as different. These sensory changes often resolve (although sometimes slowly) over time.
Speak with your doctor about trying a mild pain or anti-inflammatory medication if the discomfort is really bothering you, as these medicines can sometimes help considerably.

The Warrington Surf Life Saving Club has revived a historic
name by adopting Moana Rua as its official Maori title.
The move came as the club reviewed its constitution at its
annual meeting recently.
A draft template from the national body provided for a Maori
Moana Rua Surf Life Saving Club was founded as a women's club
at Middle beach, near St Clair, in 1961, when surf
life-saving was mainly a male domain.
After erosion caused rip problems there, it relocated patrols
to Warrington in 1976 and a new building was officially
opened in 1980.
After a short time, the by-then-unisex club renamed itself
Warrington Surf Life Saving Club.
"The name Moana Rua comes from the whakapapa of our club,"
outgoing president Pete Russell, of Warrington, said.
The club had a much longer history than its presence at
Warrington beach.
The name also reflected the position of Warrington beach
between two "seas": the Pacific Ocean and Blueskin Bay, he
It was also pointed out at the meeting that Warrington beach
had gained much of the sand from Middle beach. Mark Familton
was elected president with a committee of six other members.
The Warrington/Moana Rua club will be 50 years old next year.
A name, residential address, and (preferably residential) telephone number is required from readers who comment on ODT Online. These details will not be visible to site visitors.
Turns out the club was founded in 1957 at Middle Beach. That
makes it 55 in 2012. Warrington (Moana Rua) Surf Life
Saving Club celebrated this minor anniversary today
(February 5).

Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
good heavy riff at the beginning, and you dive straight into the song. That's nice, why waste your time with a long intro when you can come straight to the point? :)
drums and guitars go together pretty nice, even though it all sounds a bit generic. The vocals are nice, but overall they sound a bit overamplified, I think you have to work on them a bit more.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
pretty cool!
thats pretty cool. the music goes together nicely. check out my entry if u have time. Drum and bass sample.

Hi setzer,
Sorry have one more quick inquiry. Am trying out the plug-in using a specific theme and can't seem to get the footnote # to come out (text is fine, though). I know that you did mention this might happen from theme to theme so I was just wondering if there is anything particular I should be looking for in my theme's style.css, single.php or sidebar.php to make them visible?

Chat with Willis Reed
|Reed now serves as VP of Basketball Operations for the Hornets.
Reed's heroic performance in the 1970 NBA Finals, particularly Game 7, is included in ESPN.com's NBA Greatest Moments bracket. After suffering a thigh injury in Game 5, Reed's availability for Game 7 was in serious doubt. Teammate Bill Bradley revealed that the team was still uncertain of his status as they ran out to the court. Reed, like a knight in shining armor, limped his way from the lockerroom and managed to score the first two baskets of the game. He wouldn't score again but his courage propelled the Knicks to their first championship.
Reed would lead the Knicks to another championship in 1973. He played 10 seasons in the Big Apple and appeared in seven All-Star Games, won Rookie of the Year in 1964-65, Most Valuable Player in 1969-70 and was named Finals MVP in both 1970 and 1973.

A Bunch of Fancy Sports Cars Ran Into One Another
It could be the most expensive car crash in history.
Eight Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benz, a Lamborghini, and two Toyotas all crashed at once in Japan on their way to a motor festival, resulting in what is likely one of the more expensive pileups in history. Drivers suffered only minor injuries, so the mangled-metal destruction porn is either a lesson in greed or a sad sight, depending on your levels of aspiration and empathy.

Hi everyone,
I'm building a responsive blog and noticed FitVids doesn't work correctly on my Android device (Samsung Galaxy S2, Android 2.3.6) I have an embedded Vimeo video width and height are set (720x480). Responsiveness is great on the desktop but on my mobile the video isn't being re-sized (it maintains the 720x480 size) forcing the width of my page to 720 width and making the page to large for the mobile screen. When I rotate my device to landscape the video size isn't updated either. My blog is perfectly responsive on pages without videos so I'm assuming FitVids is the cause or I'm doing something wrong with the embeds.
You can find my blog over at: http://blog dot webslash dot be

Your feedback is appreciated!

Jets Conditioning Coach Sal Alosi Resigns
After a two-month suspension, he's out.
New York Jets strength and conditioning coach Sal Alosi has resigned from his role, Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum announced Monday night. In December, Alosi was suspended after he was caught forming a sideline wall with several Jets teammates and tripping Miami Dolphins player Nolan Carroll. The Jets were fined $100,000 for the incident, which was labeled a "competitive violation" and a "dangerous" act. "[Sal] played an invaluable role in our success and established what we feel is one of the better strength and conditioning programs in the NFL," said Tannenbaum. [NYP]
