Fantagraphics Books, 272 pages, $39.99
When Fantagraphics and editor Paul Karasik re-introduced comic book readers to the work of Fletcher Hanks via the books I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets and You Shall Die By Your Own Evil Creation, the work seemed like a complete anomaly, separate in tone and manner from what every other Golden Age cartoonist was doing in the then-nascent medium.
Now, with the release of Spacehawk, Basil Wolverton's sci-fi superhero series, it's clear that Hanks' work wasn't as much of an oddity as previously thought. While Spacehawk isn't quite as surreal or unsettling as any of Hanks' best stories, it nonetheless shares some of the same crazed brutality.

It's beginning to look a lot like the final Wednesday before Christmas (and the final full one of the year), so with my $15, I'd get some gifts for myself that I know I'll enjoy: the second issue of Chris Roberson (and now, Dennis Calero)'s Masks (Dynamite, $3.99), the third issue of Brandon Graham's Multiple Warheads: Alphabet to Infinity (Image, $2.99) and Francesco Francavilla's The Black Beetle: Night Shift #0 (Dark Horse, $2.99). Also, I suspect that I'll be unable to resist the first part of Vertigo's adaptation of Django Unchained (DC/Vertigo, $3.99), too.
If I had $30, I'd add another pile of favorites to that list: Judge Dredd #2 (IDW, $3.99), the by-now-amazingly-late-but-still-enjoyable Bionic Woman #6 (Dynamite, $3.99), Hawkeye #6 (Marvel Comics, $2.99), and the latest issue of the always-wonderful Saga (Image, $2.99).
When it comes to splurging, however, then I'm going to be playing it relatively cheaply: That Star Trek 100-Page Winter Spectacular (IDW, $7.99) feels like it might offer just the kind of space-age cheer I'll be grateful for by mid-week … Happy Warpspeed Holidays, all.

If I had $15, I'd start out with Legend of Luther Strode #1 (Image, $3.50). I was behind the times on the first series, but now I will raise my fist to the air and decree "NO MORE!" (to the stunned silence of my local comic shop owner). Justin Jordan really brought a different take on this story, but for me the sizzle on this is Tradd Moore's art. It reminds me of Sam Keith's middle-period during his Marvel Comics Presents Wolverine run, and that's nothing but a good thing. After that I'd get Stumptown #4 (Oni Press, $3.99). Some might compare Dex's journey to that of Jessica Jones in Marvel's Alias, but it's anything but. Greg Rucka really knows how to make a story feel more than just mere fiction. My third pick this week would be Invincible #98 (Image, $2.99), seeing Mark Grayson get his powers back – just in time to be stomped into the ground, from the looks of it. Reading this series since the first issue, I'm noticing the colorist change more and more here; John Rauch definitely is a step removed from FCO Plascencia, and I'm still getting used to it. Kirkman and Ottley are delivering here so well that Domino's should be jealous. (ba-dum CHING!) Last up in my Wednesday haul would be Avengers #1 (Marvel, $3.99). I've noticed in doing Food or Comics for as long as I have how I'll routinely follow writers but when they manage to get an artist I particularly like I'll fall over myself trying to get to it. Case in point, this book, with Jonathan Hickman joining forces with Jerome Opeña to kick off a new era for Marvel's flagship book. I'm all for "Jonathan Hickman's Avengers," but I'm even more excited to see Opeña's take on this.
Declare your love for the creator of Powerhouse Pepper and Lena Hyena with this new collection of Basil Wolvert0n T-shirts from streetwear fashion giant Stussy. Flog reports the company has apparently not only created a line of shirts but has an interview with Basil's son, Monte. I say apparently because for some reason the Flash-based site isn't loading on my computer, but perhaps you'll have better luck.
Editor Greg Sadowski's new Fantagraphics book, Supermen! The First Wave of Comic Book Heroes 1936-1941, is a spectacular snapshot of a historical period long before comic book company events, crossovers and alternate covers or universes. As detailed by the publisher: "The enduring cultural phenomenon of comic book heroes was invented in the late 1930s by a talented and hungry group of artists and writers barely out of their teens, flying by the seat of their pants to create something new, exciting, and above all profitable. The iconography and mythology they created flourishes to this day in comic books, video, movies, fine art, advertising, and practically all other media. Supermen! collects the best and the brightest of this first generation, including Jack Cole, Will Eisner, Bill Everett, Lou Fine, Fletcher Hanks, Jack Kirby, Jerry Siegel, Joe Shuster, and Basil Wolverton." The book sports a foreword by Jonathan Lethem. My thanks to Sadowski for his willingness to discuss his editorial approach on this project and after learning some of what did not make the first volume, I look forward to seeing a second volume down the road as time and other logistics permit. Fantagraphics also offers folks the chance to download an "11-page PDF excerpt (7.4 MB) featuring an entire story by Will Eisner and Lou Fine starring The Flame!"
Tim O'Shea: How did the foreword by Jonathan Lethem come about?
Greg Sadowski: Someone at Fantagraphics approached him, and Jonathan really came thorough – his foreword starts things off beautifully.

Coliseum in Rome, Italy
|Majors: Early Childhood Education & Spanish
Expected Graduation Year: 2015
Hometown: Yankton, SD
Why did you choose to attend SDSU?
It was a little farther from home, and it seemed like a great innovative campus to attend. I loved the atmosphere here and the people as well. I wanted to meet new people and have different, unique experiences, and so far, this has all come true!
Where did you study abroad, and what did you study on your trip?
I studied at the University Of Vigo in Vigo, Spain. Vigo is located in the Northwest, right above the border of Portugal, next to the Atlantic coast. I studied Spanish while abroad.
What was your most memorable study abroad experience?
|It is quite difficult to think of the most memorable experience I had while abroad, but if I have to decide, I would probably say the day I went bungee jumping off a bridge that connected Spain and Portugal together. It was a brand new, crazy experience for me.
Plaza Mayor in Salamanca, Spain
What made it the most memorable was the people I was with, though. I made so many great friends in Europe who I will never forget. They have become my best friends for life, and I stay in contact every day.
What do you do as a study abroad peer ambassador?
Venice, Italy
|As a study abroad ambassador, my job is to try to convince you to study abroad. This is quite easy, because I am very passionate about this opportunity. I present to classrooms and organizations. I also help advise students who want to study abroad.
I can assist in picking the right program for them, and help with the application process. I also can give some great personal tips from my own experience!
What piece of advice would you give to other students thinking about studying abroad?
|I would advise any student, whether thinking about studying abroad or not, to at least come into the office and check it out. I think the first step is the hardest, but once you make the leap to find out more information, you will not regret it.
La Playa de Samil in Vigo, Spain
My greatest decision in my life thus far was to walk into the Global Studies office and ask some questions even though I never thought I would get such a great opportunity. By walking into the office, I gave myself the best adventure anybody could ever have, and grew in ways I would have never guessed. We are young, and therefore, why not go while the chance is right in arms reach? I would rather get the confidence to go than look back and wish I would have. I cannot stress enough how amazing this experience is and the doors that will open afterward.

text: Close Top 16 Impact Defenders 0 0 More 0 0 0 View Gallery Next Previous Next AP Jay Threatt Jay Threatt, who originally enrolled at George Mason before transferring to Delaware State after his freshman season, is the best defender you've never heard of. All he did last season was lead the nation in steal percentage by a landslide, creating steals on 5.52 percent of opponents' possessions. That helped the Hornets finish No. 1 in the nation in defensive turnover percentage, at 28.3. 1|16 Richard C. Lewis/Icon SMI Jeff Allen Jeff Allen doesn't have a major defensive rep due to the fact that he's an undersized five-man, but it's hard to ignore the statistical evidence of his contribution to the nation's 20th-most efficient defense. He leads the Hokies in defensive rebounding percentage (22.2, 96th nationally), block percentage (4.8), and steal percentage (3.8, 52nd nationally) -- all of which indicates he's a high-impact defender on one of the ACC's stingiest teams. 2|16 John W. McDonough/SI JaJuan Johnson The primary reason the Boilers' defense was so good last season: They held opponents to just 41.6 percent on two-point attempts, the eighth-lowest percentage in the country. JaJuan Johnson was often the lone man patrolling the lane with his 7-4 wingspan, blocking 7.0 percent of opponents' attempts and altering many more. 3|16 Bob Rosato/SI Kent Bazemore The Monarchs were far and away the best defensive team in the CAA last season. That should be the case again in '10-11, especially with Kent Bazemore back to give opposing guards fits. His length (at 6-foot-5) and his aggressive nature (he was 19th nationally in steal percentage, at 4.4 percent) make him the ideal, oversized defender for coach Blaine Taylor's system. 4|16 Fred Vuich/SI Gilbert Brown Gilbert Brown is the perfect defender for the Panthers' switching man-to-man defense, in that he can guard the 1-4 positions. He's somewhat of an under-the-radar defensive talent -- and he's certainly not the only elite defender on his team -- but his formidable lockdown skills are beginning to be noticed by scouts, and he'll play a major role in Pitt's attempt to finally break through to a Final Four in '10-11. 5|16 John Biever/SI David Lighty David Lighty is incredibly versatile: Although he's played minutes at power forward for the Buckeyes, he's also under consideration to take over the point as a senior. He's on this list because he can also guard four positions, using a mix of physicality and athleticism. His overall value earned him the captaincy of Seth Davis' All-Glue team last season. 6|16 Eugene Tanner/Icon SMI Jackson Emery On a team where all the national attention is on his backcourt mate, All-America candidate Jimmer Fredette, Jackson Emery deserves recognition for being one of the country's best backcourt defenders. He was a member of the Mountain West's all-defensive team last season after posting a steal percentage of 5.0 -- the fifth-best in the nation. He was a huge reason why the Cougars had the most-efficient defense in the MWC. 7|16 Ethan Miller/Getty Images David Foster Only Marshall's Hassan Whiteside -- who was drafted in the second round by the Kings this June -- had a higher block percentage last season than David Foster, who swatted an absurd 17.4 percent of opponents' two-point attempts. The giant from Lake Forest, Calif., who took two years off from basketball (in '07-08 and '08-09) for an LDS mission, was named the Mountain West's Defensive Player of the Year last season. 8|16 Robert Beck/SI E'Twaun Moore Chris Kramer, who graduated after last season, was always the Boilers guard most lauded for his D, winning two Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year awards. But E'Twaun Moore has been a fierce perimeter defender in his own right while simultaneously shouldering the bulk of Purdue's offensive load. If the Boilers' defense doesn't see a huge drop-off after Kramer's departure, Moore will get more credit for his lockdown abilities. 9|16 John Sommers II/Icon SMI Jeffery Taylor The Commodores' Swedish import has an impressive enough all-around game -- with averages of 13.3 points and 5.2 rebounds as a sophomore -- that he was recently named to the Wooden Award's preseason watch list. What makes him most attractive to NBA scouts, though, is the fact that he's one of college hoops' most versatile defenders: long and athletic enough to harass guards on the wing, while still sturdy enough to battle with forwards in the paint. 10|16 Tim Vizer/Icon SMI Damian Saunders Damian Saunders was named the Atlantic 10 Defensive Player of the Year as a junior after a spectacular season in which he posted a defensive rebounding percentage of 19.8, a block percentage of 8.5 (47th nationally) and a steal percentage of 4.3 (22nd nationally). He had the highest steal percentage of any player taller than 6-foot-5 in the nation. 11|16 Mark Goldman/Icon SMI Iman Shumpert Iman Shumpert's status as one of the country's best lockdown defenders became obvious during the ACC tournament, when he gave Maryland's Greivis Vasquez (6-of-12 shooting) and Jon Scheyer (4-of-13) problems. Then in the first round of the NCAA tournament against Oklahoma State, Shumpert held soon-to-be first-rounder James Anderson to 3-of-12 shooting -- and only one of those field goals came within the Cowboys' half-court offense. Shumpert kept the Yellow Jackets in plenty of games in spite of their subpar offense. 12|16 John Biever/SI Ronald Nored Ronald Nored might be the country's best harasser of jump shooters. Butler usually assigns him to hound an opponent's top outside gunner, and Nored's handiwork in the NCAA tournament's West Regional, where he locked down Syracuse's Andy Rautins and Kansas State's Jacob Pullen in succession, was a big reason why the Bulldogs reached the Final Four. With Nored and Shelvin Mack, another strong on-ball defender, still manning the backcourt, Butler should have another elite defensive team in '10-11. 13|16 John Biever/SI Venoy Overton Late in the '08-09 season, Huskies coach Lorenzo Romar told the Seattle Times that Venoy Overton was "just becoming a giant pest defensively," creating steals and throwing off the rhythm of opposing ball handers. His rep continued to grow in '09-10, when he had a 3.2 steal percentage and UW was the second-most efficient defensive team in the Pac-10. Ask any good Pac-10 guard to name the most annoying or aggressive defender he's faced, and he'll likely say Overton. 14|16 Greg Nelson/SI Kenneth Faried On defense, Kenneth Faried is a possession-ender extraordinaire. He grabbed an amazing 36.1 percent of available defensive rebounds last season, the highest rate in the nation by more than six percent. He also blocks 8.1 percent of opponents' shots, ranking 53rd nationally, but it's mainly his skills on the glass, where he's established himself as the game's best all-around rebounder, that have earned him attention from NBA scouts. 15|16 David E. Klutho/SI Chris Singleton Singleton is considered by many scouts and pundits alike to be the best all-around defender in college basketball. He helped make the Seminoles the nation's most efficient defensive team in the country last season, leading them in steals (with a 4.1 percentage) and defensive rebounding (17.0 percentage) while being named the ACC's Defensive Player of the Year. He displays a superb energy level on D, a knack for deflecting passes and altering shots -- and the fact that he has an extra-long, 6-foot-9 frame doesn't hurt, either. 16|16 Next up More Sports Wayne Gretzky scores his first NHL goal.

Is it possible to have BP Docs pages show full page width?
On my pages and posts I can show page attributes and change the template that's used to a full page width.
It'd be great to have BP Docs show full width. I have it working at the moment but that is without a sidebar on the whole site.
I've had a look at the BP Docs files and I've had a look at the BP-Themes> BP-Default files and commented out the sidebar call but it had made no odds. I'm over my head at this point and would really appreciate some guidance.

I downloaded FeedWordpress and activated it. I imported a YouTube feed and it created posts. Since the YouTUbe feed data is less than perfect, I need to modify how it's rendered. The only problem is, the template tags included with Feedwordpress are not working - they are returning nothing.
Is anyone else having this problem? Is it a know problem with 2.5+ blogs?
Should I delete and try to reinstall FWP?

Mission based trips like this, based upon serving God with the camaraderie of fellow Marines feeds the heart, soul, and mind!
I had not heard of Freedom Alliance before the Trip to Githioro, Kenya, but now it is top on the list! I served 8 year the Marines as a combat engineer, with two tours to Iraq. It had been 10 years since I had contacted my former squad leader from my first deployment, but when he has made a post about a Veterans/christian Missions trip to Kenya, I felt as though I fit the bill so I jumped at the opportunity. When God answers a prayer, He does so in a Big way. In mine I asked Him to open up doors of opportunity to witness and serve others. and wanted most of all the opportunity help missionaries doing God's work. So, this trip got thrown in my lap just three short weeks prior to departure, fully paid for.....I'd say it was answered!
The trip was extraordinary! Being able to take a step back into a third world nation, and doing so with fellow Marines brought with it the memories of our deployments, a chance to reminisce over all the hard times and laugh about all the great times. Even though I had some hard moments in combat and brief bouts of post deployment jitters, i never had to deal with severe PTSD, injuries, or mental burden when I return...many other did.
This type of trip though was a first of it's kind, because it's main focus was serving others (the missionaries) and above all serving God by sharing our faith and devotion to Jesus Christ in our christian walk. This trip was perfect in that it combined veterans with varying levels of experience in their christian faith and military background. This benefits everyone, especially those veterans less versed in this area, and gave opportunities to witness to those members, and both people benefit. I firmly believe that due to so many physical and mental hardships resulting from combat following war, there is only one treatment and that is a relationship built upon Christ Jesus. It is He and that faith and community of friends that you build through mission work and a local church that will without a doubt mend all the frustrations and hurt, it works time and again. Alcohol, cigarettes, pain meds, depression meds, and the like only cover up the issues doing nothing help.
Freedom Alliance though has a long history in organizing trips to help veterans work through their issues through hunting, fishing, excursions, and now missions trips. The most beneficial trips are those made up of smaller groups, 3 - 8 people, because it allows more one on one sharing and stronger relationships, and Freedom Alliance facilitates these types of groups.
From the bottom of my heart I thank this organization and what they do! This experience will never be forgotten for the rest of my life, and forged several brand new friendships, and there's not better feeling.
God Bless,

I would like to thank Island View resorts, Vonnie and all those who participated in allowing veterans this amazing opportunity. This was a once in a lifetime experience and I will always cherish my time in Alaska.

What a great trip fishing with other veterans in Sitka, Ak. The volunteers, lodge staff, fishing guides, and a great group of veterans provided a much needed break from stress!
Hi, my name is Aaron Kim, I was invited to go to Sitka, Alaska last week may 13-17th with freedom alliance. It was a blast and very memorable. Had four great friends inour group,three from my old company, and one made durning the trip Ben Westra. There were more veterans on the trip but were in different groups but we were all able to get together at the Elk Longe for dinner and also got together with Vonnie and had a great dinner as well. Thank you Island view for the hospitality and taking care of us on our stay there, the lodge was awesome and the view was beautiful all around. The staff,captain, deck hands were amazing and took great care of all of us. Guch, Todd and Reid,Antonio were Awesome helping us all reeling in and teaching us the ropes on fishing.

Vonnie, Mike, Linda, EJ, and the rest of the folks that helped make this trip so great, thank you. You really made us all feel very special. Truly and experience of a lifetime.
I truly had no idea about this awesome charity. Freedom Alliance was able to treat myself and a few others to an amazing fishing trip. First time ever being on a yacht and deep sea fishing. The fishing was cut a little short due to weather but I will remember this trip forever. I want to thank Pepper for the awesome pictures, Tunaskin for the free gear, Bill from Squidnation, and also Chris and Jesse for taking us out on BI-OP-SEA. Thank you Freedom Alliance for everything.

I want to sincerely express my gratitude and thanks to Freedom Alliance, Bill Pino of Squidnation, and the Bi-op-sea Sport-fishing crew for this fun trip. I cannot tell you how much this meant to me as my first time ever Mahi Fishing. Thank you all so much for your kindness and memories that will last a lifetime!

After serving in the Marine Corps for 17 years, multiple deployments and being wounded in Afgaistan, I'm retiring this month. I got hooked up with Freedom Alliance and they wanted to show their support to a few service members. I was able to go out sport fishing in the Outer Banks NC for some Mahi Mahi. This trip was a dream come true. Myself and the few other Marines were lucky enough to have the time of our lives. it's was great to be out with such amazing people that truly care. It was a very well needed break from my fight with PTSD, stress, anxiety, and other symptoms I suffer from daily. During this trip with these guys the only problem I had was my face hurting from smiling too much. Thank you again for all your support! FISH ON!
Freedom Alliance and the Cyprus Creek hunting lodge went above and beyond what I expected from this trip. It was a relief to be around other veterans and active duty wounded warriors in a fun and competitive environment. Even if I didn't shoot a pig, win a shooting match or catch a fish, I still had fun and was grateful for the time I spent in the woods relaxing. The staff of lodge and as well as the volunteers that aided the lodge and the group were outstanding. The rifle range and high class marksman that helped us zero our weapons were impressive. The rooms and accommodations were amazing. Danny, the lodge owner, personally took us out on our last hunt. Last but not least, Londa will be a legendary name for all that attended and anyone who ever has the pleasure of enjoying one of her meals that she prepares. I'm dying for some of her desert right now. I would recommend this to other vets I run in to at the VA or around the community.

Aloha - I live in Hawaii with my husband, Sam, who is a professional photographer. During the day, I enjoy the sunshine and beaches of Hawaii. I spend the evenings writing, or gaining inspiration from Sam, for my next story.
I've an active imagination and my stories are more than just steamy scenes. I try to create interesting stories and fully developed characters. Some of my stories are heavy on the romance, while others are a bit dark.
I write erotica for adults.
Review by:

on Jan. 02, 2012 :
Another great story from one of my favorite erotic writers. Carter's Niece would make a good movie, seriously. My boyfriend first turned me on to Chatterley with Tale of the Raperbeast. He told me I had to read it. Very original and erotic, but somewhat twisted. Love her originality and IMO her stories appeal to both men and woman. The only one I was disappointed with was On Her Knees. Actually, I loved the story line, but she ended it too soon. I felt she should have written more about the two major characters and what happens when they returned to the office. Wish she would redo it and add more. But it was only 99 cents so it was okay, and I would probably buy it again. I've read all her books she has on Smashwords – well written, unique story lines and good sex.

Government and opposition deputies brawled inside Macedonia's
parliament and their supporters hurled stones and bottles at
each other outside on Monday in an escalating dispute over
the proposed 2013 state budget.
Thousands of pro- and anti-government demonstrators clashed
in the centre of the capital Skopje outside parliament.
Special police in riot gear intervened to separate the two
groups, and local media said at least six people were hurt.
Inside parliament, security guards had to evacuate parliament
speaker Trajko Veljanovski from the plenary hall as
opposition deputies scuffled with pro-government counterparts
in an an effort to prevent the opening of the debate.
Opposition deputies left the building to join supporters in
the streets and the government then pushed through a 64-4
vote in favour of the budget proposal. Parliament has 120
Last month the small Balkan republic's centre-right
government proposed a 148-billion-denari ($US3.2 billion)
budget for 2013 with the deficit projected at 3.5 percent of
gross domestic product and growth at two percent of GDP.
The left-wing opposition faulted the proposal as profligate
at a time of economic downturn and asked for a cut equivalent
to about $US260 million. The government refused but the
opposition then submitted about a thousand amendments to the
Opposition leaders had accused the governing coalition led by
Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski of suspending democracy by
seeking to vote on the budget in a plenary session before
their proposed amendments were addressed in committees.
"If the government continues like that, it will suspend the
constitution and ... kill democracy in Macedonia before our
very eyes," Branko Crvenkovski, head of the opposition Social
Democrats, said before the vote.
Gruevski shot back: "This is all about the vanity of one man,
of (Branko) Crvenkovski and his political survival."
Macedonia's economy resurfaced from two quarters of recession
in the third quarter of 2012, posting 0.3 percent GDP growth.
The central bank has cut its 2012 growth forecast to zero
from 2.4 percent, reflecting the negative effect of the euro
zone crisis across the Western Balkans, but sees growth
perking up to 2.6 percent in 2013.

A perfect day
Published: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 9:24 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 22, 2009 at 9:24 a.m.
Thank God for our Easter and the bad weather that we had all expected never happened for most of us. Also, we can thank God for the deliverance of our American ship captain Richard Phillips and the safety of his crew and ship of food supplies. This action on the sea is also a plus for our Second Amendment.
These ships at sea and in foreign parts should at least be armed with small arms, pistols, rifles.
It is also my opinion that the captain of a ship should be able to make the decisions, make the call on the protection of his men on the decisive action needed. The waiting time could very well cost lives. I firmly believe if Philips crew would have been armed, the pirate raid would not have happended. The second in command should have the same authority to call for and utilize whatever force is necessary to protect his crew and ship. Thank God this finally happened; however, I still feel this action could have ended much sooner, days sooner, if the command on scene could have acted as they wanted. Again, the news media did a lot guessing, hour after hour, day after day.
These men at sea should have the same rights in protecting their home, their ship, as we do to protect our homes. Laws and treaties dont bother the pirates or terrorists. They only prohibit the honest, law-abiding citizens. Again, Easter turned out to be perfect day. Sunday churches were full, the bad weather held off and Capt. Phillips was saved. All is well.

Another guy who sees sex as something men do TO women instead of WITH women... or A woman... You know what i mean.
I still think that his "no" means "no" even if he gets to the root of all his issues. He's just "maybe-we'll-see-let's-try-ing" because he doesn't want to lose you. Some people are just not compatible with nonmonogamy. It's like, i'm afraid of heights. It isn't intellectual or rational. It's a physical feeling that i get even if i'm standing behind a wall or a window, i feel like something will pull me over the edge if i stand too close. So i don't go bungee jumping or mountain climbing. I realize people get over "phobias" all the time, but sometimes it just isn't worth putting oneself through it. I could go swimming or skating instead! It's that way with careers, education, relationships, etc.
Besides, if he's eavesdropping on you ALREADY, imagine what it will be like when you ARE talking to "some other guy".

- †
We thank Maria Vargas, Kristen Roy, and Rachel Doran for their invaluable research assistance, Nicole Pittman and Peter Parry for their consultation regarding legal issues, Nancy Hablutzel, Mary McDermott, and the Illinois State Bar Association for facilitating data collection with the family law attorneys, and Randy Roberts and the Cook County State's Attorney's Office for facilitating data collection with the prosecutors.

- Abstract
- References
- Cited By
In three studies, we investigated support for applying sex offender registry laws to juveniles. Family law attorneys supported registry laws less for juveniles than for adults. Laypeople and prosecutors supported juvenile and adult sex offender registration equally—even though they perceived juveniles as generally less threatening than adults (Study 1)—because most people spontaneously envision a severe sex offender prototype regardless of offender age (Study 2). People are less supportive of registry laws, however, when they envision less severe prototypes spontaneously (Study 2) or when induced to do so (Study 3). Effects of offender age, offender prototypes, and offense severity were mediated by perceptions of threat posed by the juvenile sex offender (i.e., utilitarian concerns). The effect of offense severity was also mediated by moral outrage (i.e., retributive concerns). Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Comments about Fabtech Leaf Spring Bushing:
Picture and description let me to believe item was sold as a set of four, when it was actually a single bushing. Does the attached picture even slightly resemble the representative sales picture? Price is very high for a single bushing. Now I am expected to pay to send it back.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Kirsten Dunst's experience with depression is far behind her, but the actress remains open about a period when she was "struggling" with the condition.
"People are embarrassed to talk about it," Dunst, 29, tells Flare magazine. "I would never put anyone down [who] was in that kind of space."
In fact, Dunst believes experiencing the mood disorder is perfectly normal.
"I think most human beings go through some sort of depression in their life," she says. "And if they don't, I think that's weird."

MILWAUKEE (AP) Former Wisconsin Governor Tommy Thompson is
dropping out of the race for the Republican presidential nomination after finishing sixth in an Iowa straw poll. Thompson says he has ``no regrets about running.''
His statement was issued several hours after WITI-TV in Milwaukee reported that Thompson had told one of its reporters he was withdrawing.
Thompson says he's ``very much enjoyed'' his years in public service. The statement says he intends to take some time off before returning to the private sector and his nonprofit work.
Thompson had said before the Iowa event that he would drop out of the race unless he finished first or second.

I'm trying to install a complete new version of WP onto my log. But all I get after uploading all the files in the right directory is this message, when I try to run the install.php:
Warning: require_once(ABSPATH/wp-admin/admin-functions.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /storage/...../public/sites/www.bruddstyker.nl/wp/wp-admin/upgrade-functions.php on line 5

I've checked and rechecked in several FTP-programs if all the files are there and in the right place. And they are. I've tried it with a new database. And still get the same message. And I've tried it with the WP-version translated to Dutch (that worked before on another log) and the original english version.
When I take a look at my log when I get the message above, the log states:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function wp() in /storage/...../public/sites/www.bruddstyker.nl/wp/wp-blog-header.php on line 16
I've removed the installation now, because the password of my database was showing. And that's not what I want. But is there someone who can help me solve this problem? I'd really be grateful!

Another long work-week has passed, and it's time once again for that time we all love the most: FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS!
Tonight, we're going all the way back to May 1939 for Detective Comics #27, by Bill Finger and Bob Kane.
Well, after this weekend's angst over the economy, you'd think I'd be completely uninterested in dealing with finances, but no! As it turns out, I decided to go ahead and get my taxes done. Wasn't too bad -- as always the biggest pain was spending half-an-hour entering in all the info.
Another Friday means it's time for another session of comic-art pain to kick off the weekend! Everyone strap yourself in for... FRIDAY NIGHT FIGHTS!
Our weekly dose of ultraviolence comes tonight from the 2005 anthology Bizarro World and a story by Evan Dorkin and M.

BAGHDAD -- The Abdullah Restaurant was the kind of place Iraqis took their families on special occasions. It was the kind of place high-ranking officials in the northern city of Kirkuk chose for power lunches, where they dug into plates on tables covered with white cloth as water burbled from a fountain.
Thursday, as families celebrated the Eid al-Adha holiday and Arab and Kurdish leaders talked reconciliation in the dining room, it was the kind of place a suicide bomber decided was the perfect target. He set off his explosives during the lunch rush, killing at least 55 people, wounding about 100 and ending what had been a remarkable stretch of calm nationwide during the four-day Eid celebration.
Suspicion fell upon Sunni Arab insurgents. They want to drive Kurds from Kirkuk, an oil-rich city about 150 miles north of Baghdad with a tortured past and, if Thursday's attack is anything to go by, a turbulent future.
The attack occurred as local Kurdish and Arab leaders gathered at Abdullah in what Arab lawmaker Hussein Ali Salih said was "a meeting of understanding." Last week, the Kurds had visited Arab politicians in nearby Hawija, said Salih. This time, it was the Arabs' turn to visit the Kurds.
"They had invited us to a banquet in the restaurant. We were sitting there and, suddenly, there was an explosion that shook the whole place," Salih said.
He called the attack a "miserable attempt from the remnants of darkness" to hamper reconciliation attempts in Iraq, where Arabs, Kurds and Turkmen want a slice of Kirkuk.
Under Saddam Hussein, Kurds were driven out of Kirkuk to make way for Arabs sent in by the government. Since Saddam's ouster, Kurds have tried to reclaim what they say is theirs. They have sought to make Kirkuk part of Kurdistan, a region that stretches across northern Iraq.
