In 1961, the legendary creative team of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby introduced the world to the first family of Marvel Comics, the âFantastic Four.â Since then, the FF's adventures have been chronicled by a multitude of diverse and talented creators. In a few months the acclaimed creative team of Mark Millar and Brian Hitch will end their run on âFantastic Four,â but Marvel already has two equally talented creators lined up and ready for their chance to take the FF on even more fantastic adventures. CBR News spoke with writer Jonathan Hickman [âSecret Warriorsâ] and artist Dale Eaglesham [DC Comics âJSAâ] about their plans for âFantastic Fourâ when they take over the series this summer.
While he still may be a new voice at Marvel, Jonathan Hickman is already a critically acclaimed and highly talented creator of independent comics. That talent was clearly on display in his first script for Marvel, âSecret Warriorsâ #1, because it was the strength of that script that earned Hickman the ongoing âFantastic Fourâ assignment. âI remember, I was writing 'Secret Warriorsâ #2 and I got a random e-mail from Editor Tom Brevoort saying, 'Hey, I'm not promising you anything but Millar and Hitch are coming off FF sometime next year, and I think you could bring a lot to the book. Would you be interested?'â Hickman told CBR News. âThe specific reasons Tom wanted me to do it was because he thought I had a unique voice and I was a long range planner. He wanted to see what I would come up with, so I prepared a pitch document for him and it was pretty well received. When I was writing that document, I knew I was onto something. I just kind of got it. Now I feel very excited about doing it.â
Upon receiving the âFantastic Fourâ assignment, Hickman, who had not read much Fantastic Four up to that point, decided that in order to get a better feel for the characters, he needed to do some research. The writer quickly devoured the past 2-3 years worth of âFantastic Fourâ stories and several volumes in the âEssential Fantastic Fourâ and âFantastic Four: Visionariesâ series. âI've read more FF in the last two-three months then I had in my entire life, and in reading that much in such a compressed time, one of the things that became pretty clear to me was that the 'Ultimate Fantastic Four' title has had a big impact on the regular 'Fantastic Four' series,â the writer said. â'Fantastic Four' is about fantastic adventures and the family, but when 'Ultimate FF' was launched and Warren Ellis took over the book, it kind of turned into a science explorers type book. And I've noticed the propensity for a number of writers to try and turn 'Fantastic Four' into sort of an 'I've figured out this very cool scientific story!' type of book. And I think the series has lost a little bit of it's heart.
âTo me, 'Fantastic Four' is obviously about the family structure, but more importantly it's about wild, chaotic, fantastic ideas, as opposed to how things work in a functional world,â Hickman continued. âThe physics of something isn't the heart of the book. That's not what I think we need to get back too.â
Readers wanting to get an early glimpse of what Hickman has planned for âFantastic Fourâ should pick up his âDark Reign: Fantastic Fourâ mini-series with artist Sean Chen, which beings in March. âI got offered the 'Dark Reign: FF' gig after we knew I was going to be doing FF. So 'Dark Reign: FF' really works as a preamble or lead in to my first issue,â Hickman explained. âYou don't have to pick up that series to get my first issue of 'Fantastic Four.' I'll be very clear and explain things, but if you get that series, you'll get a pretty good idea of where we're headed.
âAnd what you ought to expect out of me when it comes to 'Fantastic Four' stories is the old stuff with a new twist on it,â Hickman continued. âNot a reimagining, because that's a terrible word for this, but kind of a distilling of everything down to it's essence and then a spinning of it off into a new direction. In that new direction we're still going to have a semblance of all things that you're familiar with but we're going to be doing it in a totally different way. It's a from the ground up kind of rebirth, at least that's the way I envision it.â
Hickman hasn't yet had the chance to write his first âFantastic Fourâ script, but he does know what the first story arc on the book will be about. âIt's going to be a Reed-centric story, and I'm so excited to write it. I'm as excited to write it as I was 'Secret Warriors,' and I think the first issue of that was pretty much a slam dunk.â
Hickman also has a plan in place for the structure of the stories he wants to tell. âIt's my assertion that if you're going to tell a story about character and human elements, that you can't do it in a plot driven, dramatic arc,â the writer remarked. âSo we're going to tell shorter arcs that are rapidly developing, all encompassing, massive and huge like the big opera the FF is. Then we're going to do one or two issue stories that are going to be a little more family centric and involve pure character development.
âIn my opinion the way you do this kind of stuff is you have the characterization that develops in the smaller one or two part stories and then comes to fruition in the middle of the conflict of a huge arc,â Hickman said. âSo we're going to try that and I think we're going to be successful. We'll see what the reaction is but I think it's going to be pretty positive.â
Another important part of any âFantastic Fourâ story are the antagonists, and Hickman has been doing some thinking about the members of the FF's rogues' gallery. âI do think we need some new villains but obviously they have some amazing ones. Doom is in Norman Osborn's Cabal and Millar and Hitch are getting ready to do their 'Masters of Doom' story in FF' So he's going to be off the table for a bit in the way that I want to use him, but that's okay,â Hickman explained. âDoom is maybe the coolest villain in the Marvel Universe, but I also love the Mole Man. I think he's a fascinating character that's been a little underused. And obviously Namor is off the shelf, not that I think he's a villain but he is a great character. Also I think I'd like to play around with some of the characters and elements from 'Annihilation' at some point, especially with the Negative Zone. I think there's a lot to do there.â
Hickman can't wait to start working with his artistic collaborators on âFantastic Four.â âDale Eaglesham has been at DC a very long time. So he's really energized and excited to be working on Marvel stuff in general and even more excited to be working on Fantastic Four,â I think the thing that's going to be really wonderful is seeing Paul Mounts color Dale's work. That's going to be huge because I think Dale's work, as good as it is, is going to shine even more when you add somebody like that to the mix.â
While Hickman earned his FF assignment through his work on âSecret Warriors,â Dale Eaglesham feels he landed the gig through the good fortune of signing with Marvel just as the previous âFantastic Fourâ creative team were ending their run. âWhen I signed with Marvel, the book was at the top of my wish-list and nothing else was even close. However, I felt it was a pipe dream because the book was currently in the hands of a top artist,â Eaglesham said. âWhen I spoke to Tom Brevoort about potential projects, I was just floored when he listed the Fantastic Four. I think it just took my breath away for a second. I don't even remember what I said but I zeroed in on that one like a heat-seeking missile. I grew up reading the FF, and it holds almost mystical power for me.â
Eaglesham is still in the earliest stages of his work on âFantastic Fourâ but he doesn't see the artistic style he plans to employ on the book as being jarringly different from the one used by current series artist Brian Hitch. âWe both work in a traditional style, but mine will be distinct from his in that I intend to honor the Kirby look to a degree; or at the very least, I'll take inspiration from it and I'll add that to the style I've already established on 'JSA,'â the artist explained. âAside from that, a lot will develop as the series progresses. I do feel I will take a more heroic approach with the characters though.
âI feel Reed is going to become more intimidating and forceful and less the nerdy professor. I want villains to be afraid of him physically as well as of his mind,â Eaglesham continued. âThat is not to say I want to wash the humor or any goofiness out of Reed or his relationships, far from it. I want to maintain that, but add to it the imposing presence of a brilliant scientist and powerful superhero.â
As one might have guessed from the above description, when it comes to drawing, Reed Richards is Eaglesham's favorite member of the Fantastic Four, with The Thing being a close second. âMy focus is on Reed and I am really looking forward to sculpting his personality, his intellectual intensity and his warm role of doting father. His powers are not ray blasts, but are very physical (and thus visually spectacular) displays,â the artist remarked. âI am going to enjoy adding a heroic stature to this almost comical power of his. This combination will be a lot of fun to explore.â
Eaglesham also has a clear vision on which qualities he'd like to capture and bring forward in the other âFantastic Fourâ characters. âJohnny, the man of action, the adventurer, the risk taker and absolute
warrior -- he likes to have fun, but don't be fooled by that; he is a real Sir Lancelot. Ben, the lovable curmudgeon, is the kind of character I love to work with. Honest and direct, he gets to say what everyone else is only thinking, and he does it without any malice (unless you happen to be Dr. Doom or a zombie from the Negative Zone). He should be in politics -- imagine the fireworks!â Eaglesham said. âI intend to put a bit of steel into Reed and Sue and make them formidable superheroes, but it won't affect their warmth as people. Valeria is a strange little creature. A toddling two-year-old, but possessing incredible intelligence, the possibilities for visual incongruity are endless. I see Franklin as a quiet kid, not quite brooding, but with a shadow of inquisitive seriousness about the brow.â
It's not just the classic characters that make âFantastic Fourâ such an appealing assignment for Eaglesham. The artist also loves the fact the FF's primary role in the Marvel U is exploration. âThat they can go anywhere opens up the book to science fantasy, science fiction and adventure, and I am a big proponent of that in comics,â Eaglesham stated. âNot only do I thoroughly enjoy transporting readers to new and incredible realities, but I live for that kind of material.â
He's only just begun talking to Hickman about âFantastic Fourâ but Eaglesham is immensely excited about working with the writer. âHe seems very open to collaborating, and that is the best you can hope for. Jonathan has a definite vision for the Fantastic Four, and I am going to use every skill I have acquired in my career to realize that vision,â Eaglesham stated. âThat he has a vision will make the experience of working on this title powerful and enduring.â
Both Eaglesham and Hickman are intensely aware that in working on âFantastic Fourâ they're following in the footsteps of some of the comics' industry greatest creators, but the duo are determined to make their run something truly special. âIt humbles me and inspires me. To add my own chapter to the history of a book that Jack Kirby co-founded and worked on, and to see that chapter placed anywhere in the vicinity of his, is an incredible honor,â Eaglesham said. âI grew up reading FF, and it inspired me to draw comics, so for me, being on this title is like meeting the real Santa Claus.â
Hickman added, âI'm just blown away that my second gig at Marvel is the FF! It's kind of ridiculous, and there are obviously some big shoes to fill. I just want everybody to know that I feel like I'm up for it. I'm excited for it and I certainly believe that we're going to turn out something very memorable.â

Before switching to IPython v0.11 (using Python 2.6.1), it was possible to embed an interactive IPython shell using for example this, e.g.
from IPython.Shell import IPShellEmbed
ipshell = IPShellEmbed()
ipshell() # this call anywhere in your program will start IPython
"The embedded shell has been refactored into a truly standalone subclass of InteractiveShell called InteractiveShellEmbed. All embedding logic has been taken out of the base class and put into the embedded subclass" (see here and here).
The way I understand it you should now be able to simply start a console by
import IPython
However, this raises
TraitError: The 'exit_msg' trait of an InteractiveShellEmbed instance must be a string, but a value of u'' was specified.
If we pass a string for
exit_msg by
Then it raises a different error
AttributeError: 'InteractiveShellEmbed' object has no attribute 'set_completer'
Did anybody else encounter this problem? Otherwise this might be a bug since it is a developer version after all.

A message about the Tobacco-Free Campus policy
May 13, 2016
To help encourage this culture, two broad-based committees have been working to develop a tobacco-free policy to be implemented for Binghamton University. A draft policy was released to the campus in April for comment. Many students, faculty and staff provided comments which reflected both sides of the issue. The committees have reviewed and considered all the comments and have made a recommendation to the senior officers group to implement the policy. On Tuesday, May 10, 2016, the senior officers group approved this policy, which will be effective August 1, 2017.
We understand that our move to become tobacco-free is a sensitive and difficult one for some. Know that, as Binghamton University becomes a tobacco-free campus, we will do all we can to support those who use tobacco products to eliminate their dependence on them, if they so desire. This includes making smoking cessation programming and non-prescription smoking cessation devices (patches, gum, lozenges, etc.) available to faculty, staff, students and our auxiliary services partners' employees.
Over the next year, as we all prepare for the transition to a tobacco-free campus, we will continue to provide information and educate the campus and visitors about the policy and its impact. Visit our Tobacco-Free Campus webpage that includes the new policy, FAQ's and other resource material. Continue to check this website over the next year as it will be updated with new resources as they become available. Questions or issues can be addressed via e-mail and we will respond to you in a timely manner.

Hello all,
I am running a child theme of Twenty Twelve and had everything working as I wanted in a sub-folder while testing.
I just put the site live and I have a "white space" between the main content area and the footer that I just cannot figure out how to remove.
I have the "Floating Social Bar" plugin in this position on all pages except the homepage. I hid it on the home page using display:none on the parent div (which was working while testing).
Any suggestion would be much appreciated as I am baffled.

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Afghanistan's new leaders have a lot of good will - but little else.
They didn't even have desks or chairs until the United Nations chipped in $600,000 for basic necessities ahead of their first Cabinet meeting Sunday. The start-up kit included computers, stationery, even paper clips, as well as one vehicle, evidently to be shared by the 29 ministers.
During the next six months, the interim administration will get an additional $25 million from the United Nations to set in motion the restoration of the judiciary and an enduring system of government.
But that's just the beginning.
The United Nations says it could take billions of dollars to rebuild the nation, a long, arduous task that also will demand the sustained political will of the international community and the commitment of the Afghan leadership.
"What has happened here over the last two decades is an affront to humanity," said Ahmed Fawzi, a spokesman for the U.N special envoy to Afghanistan, Lakhdar Brahimi.
Fawzi chastised the international community for abandoning Afghanistan, which fought a Western-financed insurgency against the former Soviet Union during the 1980s. Bitter factional fighting followed that led to the repressive Taliban regime, which used brute force to ensure law and order and total compliance to its rule.
"We have neglected Afghanistan for too long," Fawzi said. "We are doing the right thing. The time has come to make up for the mistakes of the past."
At a conference to be held in Japan next month, Fawzi said the international community will put together a plan to raise the huge amounts needed to rescue Afghanistan.
The situation is desperate.
The country's coffers are empty. Its infrastructure is in shambles, destroyed by 23 years of conflict. Government employees haven't been paid in more than five months. There are more than 28,000 widows in Kabul alone, more than 30,000 children making a living off the streets of the capital and nearly two-thirds of the city's population dependent on international aid.
A three-year drought has ravaged what war hasn't destroyed. The World Food Program estimates that as many as 4 million people could starve. There is a plan to possibly airlift food to some of the country's most desperate and remote regions where lawlessness has made aid deliveries dangerous.
The country is deeply divided along ethnic and tribal loyalties. Large chunks of territory have been claimed by warlords, who have large and well-armed private armies.
Education is in tatters, particularly for girls. The Taliban denied them education beyond the age of 8.
Health care also is a mess. Hospitals do not have enough medicine, doctors are underpaid and the new ones are undereducated. Patients have to buy their own medicines from the market. In some hospitals, including the one for Kabul's children, the only heating comes from oil stoves that throw out black smoke.
"We are talking about rebuilding an entire country - the infrastructure, the roads, hospital education, the army, police," Fawzi said.
At Sunday's meeting, security topped the agenda, but there has been no real game plan unveiled on how to improve it. In rural Afghanistan, the law of the land is in the hands of tribal leaders, former and present-day Taliban and bandits.
There are no plans to send the international peacekeepers assigned to protect the new government into rural Afghanistan, said Hans-Joachim Daerr, Germany's special envoy for Afghanistan.
"The international forces cannot be expected to control armed bandits or local warlords," he said.
International soldiers will stay in Kabul for the time being, he said, because a larger role would require too large a presence.
The British-led force is expected to number 3,000 to 5,000 troops who will assist local police, and advise and provide protection for government functionaries and buildings. Germany has pledged 1,200 troops, Britain 1,500.

What a great experience here at the Holiday Inn!! Everyone on staff was great! The daily cleaning of the rooms was amazing as well! I cannot say enough great things about this hotel. Even though the restaurant was under renovations (but will open in the next few weeks), they still provided good tasting food and service. Estefania who takes care of sales there was just AMAZING!! We had a baseball team and lots of parents/family that wanted to support them and we were all very pleased at how smoothly things were handled and they were very accommodating if people wanted to extend their stay. If there were things missing or needed in the rooms they were quick to respond. There are tons of great restaurants close by and conveniently located next to a Dunkin Donuts and CVS in case you need things.
Very, very pleased by our stay here and would recommend this to anyone needing a hotel in this area.

Among 224 African American adolescents (mean age = 14), the associations between interracial and intraracial contact and school-level diversity on changes in racial identity over a 3-year period were examined. Youths were determined to be diffused, foreclosed, moratorium, or achieved, and change or stability in identity status was examined. Contact with Black students, Black friends, and White friends predicted change in identity status. Furthermore, in racially diverse schools, having more Black friends was associated with identity stability. Students reporting low contact with Black students in racially diverse schools were more likely to report identity change if they had few Black friends. In students reporting high contact with Blacks in predominantly White schools, their identity was less likely to change for students with fewer White friends.

The TNA King of the Mountain Championship is a professional wrestling championship owned by the Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA) professional wrestling promotion. It was introduced on the October 23, 2008 episode of TNA's television program TNA Impact! as the "TNA Legends Championship". It has since been known as the "TNA Global Championship" and the "TNA Television Championship". The title appeared in Global Force Wrestling (GFW), during a talent exchange partnership.
As a professional wrestling championship, it is won via a scripted ending to a match or awarded to a wrestler because of a storyline. All title changes occurred at TNA-promoted events so far. Reigns that occurred on TNA Impact!, or its later title Impact Wrestling, usually air on tape delay. The first champion was Booker T, while the current champion is James Storm, who is in his first reign. There have been a total of 22 reigns among 16 wrestlers as of July 2016.[1]
The title was introduced during a storyline that pitted young talent within the company against veterans of professional wrestling. In the weeks leading up to the unveiling of the physical belt, Booker T carried around a steel briefcase. On the October 23, 2008, episode of Impact!, Booker T introduced the belt by removing it from the briefcase, announcing its name as the "TNA Legends Championship", and declaring himself the first champion.[2] He went on to state that the championship was his and that he would defend it when he saw fit; this meant that the championship was unsanctioned by TNA in the storyline.[3]
On March 15, 2009, at TNA's Destination X pay-per-view (PPV) event, A.J. Styles defeated Booker T to win the championship.[4] Afterwards on the March 19, 2009, episode of Impact!, Styles was credited as becoming the first-ever TNA Grand Slam Champion, by winning the World Heavyweight (NWA or TNA), the World Tag Team (NWA or TNA), the TNA X Division Championship, and the Legends Championship.[5] TNA Management Director Jim Cornette then announced that the TNA Legends Championship had become an official TNA sanctioned championship thanks to Styles defeating Booker T for it legally via the contract the two had signed to make the match official.[6]
On the October 29, 2009, episode of Impact!, then-champion Eric Young renamed the title the "TNA Global Championship". He went on to declare that he was not going to defend it against any American wrestlers nor on American soil.[7] However, Young's first defense was on the December 10, 2009, episode of Impact! in Orlando, Florida against Japanese female wrestler Hamada.[8] Young's second, third and fourth defenses lived up to his earlier decree, when he defended against Suicide in Glasgow, Hamada in Bournemouth, and unsuccessfully against Welsh wrestler Rob Terry in Cardiff, Wales at a live event on January 27, 2010.[9] On the July 22, 2010, episode of Impact!, Terry lost the Global Championship to A.J. Styles.[10] Styles then renamed the title the "TNA Television Championship" on the July 29, 2010, episode of Impact!.[11]
On the April 19, 2012, episode of the newly titled Impact Wrestling, TNA General Manager Hulk Hogan ordered that the TNA Television Championship had to be defended every week.[12] The weekly title defenses lasted until the June 21, 2012, episode of Impact Wrestling.[13]
On July 3, 2014, TNA Executive Director Kurt Angle declared the championship inactive.[14] The title was reactivated on June 25, 2015, by TNA under the new name the "TNA King of the Mountain Championship." TNA announced that a new champion would be determined in a King of the Mountain match at their Slammiversary PPV event on June 28.[15] Jeff Jarrett defeated Matt Hardy, Eric Young, Drew Galloway, and Bobby Roode to win the newly titled championship at the event. Due to Jarrett having founded and currently running GFW, it was suspected in the storyline that Jarrett may defend the championship in that promotion.[16] The title ended up appearing in GFW at a July 9 live event where Young attacked Jarrett and stole the championship belt.[17]
The inaugural champion was Booker T, who awarded the championship to himself on the October 23, 2008, episode of Impact!.[18] Eric Young holds the record for most reigns, with three, and is the only wrestler to hold the title under all four of its incarnations. Abyss' second reign is the longest in the title's history at 396 days. PJ Black's only reign holds the record for shortest reign in the title's history at one day. Abyss holds the record for combined days as champion, with 460.
James Storm is the current champion in his first reign. He defeated Eli Drake on July 14, 2016, in Orlando, Florida during the Impact Wrestling tapings (will air August 4) to win the title. Overall, there have been 25 reigns shared among 19 wrestlers, with three vacancies and one deactivation.

Paul Kent: Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson the buy of the year
- From: The Daily Telegraph
- July 24, 2013
THE NRL's buy of the year is a middle aged man with skin folds you could use for rock climbing.
He is a thousand miles from a peptide.
He looks eerily similar to St George Illawarra's Matt Prior, some at his club so concerned at this they regularly ask if he is Prior's twin.
No word on what Prior thinks of this.
The NRL's buy of the year is not really one for stats, a good thing because his four games in three years hardly has the Hall of Fame calling upon him.
Yet he is just 18 rounds into his new career and, already it must be said, Trent Robinson is emerging as one of the great teachers.
There can be no finer compliment for a coach.
Yes, the NRL's buy of the year is a coach, not a player.
Robinson has turned the Roosters from a roster of fattened talent, 13th last season, into this outfit we see now currently second on the table and now favourites with the bookies.
There was no more astute off-season signing.
He was hired as a hope and pray filler for the Roosters in the midst of their five-year rebuilding plan, which comes along annually, and he was hired for two very good reasons.
He was cheap and he was available.
Brian Smith was sacked with a year to run on his contract and the Roosters were forced to pay out his final year while, in the meantime, new deals to Wayne Bennett and Des Hasler had seen coaching contracts explode.
The pockets run deeper at the Roosters than anywhere else but even they were baulking at all those extra zeroes in coaching contracts, but they didn't mind: they knew they had the right man.
First, Robinson didn't care about the cash, he just wanted a chance.
And second, his hidden attraction was that from the moment Smith was sacked Robinson was the name on the players' lips as the one they wanted.
Chairman Nick Politis closed the deal.
Nobody believed it could have worked out so well.
And it is not just the talent, either. Off-season buys Sonny Bill Williams and Michael Jennings, James Maloney and Luke O'Donnell.
Robinson has resurrected Daniel Mortimer, found Jared Waerea-Hargreaves was more than a penalty waiting to happen, polished Sam Moa into a newly discovered jewel.
More, there is something else to him, something that rises above the mere improvement in the Roosters and suggests not just a longevity, but a gift.
"He's just got a presence about him where, I don't know how to put it, he's just ... he's very smart," Boyd Cordner says.
Cordner talks of Robinson, early in the season, coaching the Roosters through practice, and the simply philosophy of cause and effect.
There isn't a coach in the game these days that can't quote from the book of coach-speak. Completions, winning the ruck, it's all there as they reinvent the language and baffle the masses.
But what Chomsky once said remains true: if you can't explain something simply then you probably can't explain it at all, and in a lot of cases there seems to be a disconnect between coaches and their players.
Never a star player, Robinson was still an intelligent footballer.
He understood he couldn't take shortcuts as a player or he never would have got even those four games that he did, and so he knew he had to know the game.
Not just what to do, but why it had to be done. That now drives his coaching.
"As a team we might be going away from our structures and instead of stating the obvious, he seems to know what the players are thinking, their reasons," Mitch Pearce says.
"A lot of coaches get caught up with the visual stuff, what they see.
"He understands why you were doing it."
For instance he might tell them that their sets are poor, not because they're playing laterally, and they need to play more direct, as most coaches will.
He'll tell them why he believes they are playing laterally, which they'll recognise, and then he'll explain how playing more directly will in fact give them the result they are after.
"That reinforces in people that it does work," Pearce says.
It's a depth of knowledge beyond the ordinary, and reveals a coach intensely intelligent but with a common touch.
A coach who understands that you don't have to baffle them with brilliance to impress players.
A man whose great talent is his ordinariness, and was the smartest buy the Roosters made all summer.

Defence is attitude and the Roosters have the best of both, that's not cattle, that's coaching.
Ryan of Bondi Baby Posted at 1:14 PM July 24, 2013
Never realised Usman Khawajah was a rabbitohs fan. Damn Russell and his habit of giving celebrities Souths hats...
John Mobeston Posted at 12:55 PM July 24, 2013
He has done well in managing a few problem children in the NRL. I think the buy of the roosters is SBW. He seems to have a very mature head on his shoulders. Apart from the Bulldogs scandal he is squeeky clean. I think he has a good influence on the team. BBQing alone Maloney also could be seen as one of the reasons the roosters are having fun rather then looking for the bottle. The Roosters bought smart and took advantage of some situations. Really the CEO is the man of the moment here.

I'm trying to figure out how I can group the SQL results from a table in Oracle in the actual order in which the month occurred instead of the alphabet order of their names.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advanced.
Here's an example query:
SELECT exec_month FROM table_or_view WHERE condition=1 GROUP BY exec_month;
You see, the problem is that I can't group by month like I want to. Just as Vincent Malgrat said, "Grouping has no implied order".

Short-term debt posted positive absolute returns as represented by the Barclays 1-3 Year Government\Credit Index. During the first quarter, interest rates fell notably along the Treasury yield curve, with more pronounced declines in the intermediate and long portion of the curve than in shorter maturities. Risk aversion, stemming from continued concerns about slowing global economic growth, an uptick in volatility in global financial markets, and sustained lower oil prices benefited safe-haven securities. A strong reversal in risk sentiment in the second half of the quarter was supported by a bounce in commodities prices and accommodative central bank actions both domestically and abroad.
The Short-Term Bond Fund returned 0.80% in the quarter compared with 0.98% for the Barclays 1−3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index. For the 12 months ended March 31, 2016, the fund returned 0.66% versus 1.04% for the Barclays 1−3 Year U.S. Government/Credit Bond Index. The fund's average annual total returns were 0.66%, 1.24%, and 2.92% for the 1-, 5-, and 10-year periods, respectively, as of March 31, 2016. The fund's expense ratio was 0.52% as of its fiscal year ended May 31, 2015.
Benchmark Definitions
The portfolio's strategic underweight to U.S. Treasuries and corresponding overweight to investment-grade corporate bonds and small allocation to high yield bonds added to results. Treasuries produced positive absolute returns but trailed the rally in riskier assets during the second half of the quarter. Investment-grade corporates were resilient throughout the quarter and produced strong returns, despite fluctuation in risk sentiment. High yield securities staged a notable rebound on the heels of stabilizing commodity prices and produced significant returns. The portfolio's overweight allocation to the intermediate portion of the curve and modest out-of-benchmark exposure to longer maturities aided returns as longer-dated instruments outperformed.
Following a surprisingly dovish March FOMC meeting, we expect the Fed to be especially reactive and gradual in removing policy accommodation in the short term given the focus on global developments. Uncertainty in the outlook for the economy and inflation is unusually elevated. We expect shorter-dated maturities to experience periods of volatility and rate pressure going forward as the Fed implements its rate normalization process, but we believe that intermediate yields will be contained by the "slow and steady" rate guidance from the Fed. Credit-sensitive sectors offer fair valuations and benefit from healthy demand, aided by demand from yield-seeking overseas investors. We are maintaining a neutral duration posture versus the benchmark and continue to focus on risk within the portfolio with a bias toward higher-quality, higher-liquidity bonds.

How I spent my summer vacation – Episode 2
It was a normal Summer Saturday and Mistress Rosemarie had laid out my sissy maid outfit that I was to wear for cleaning the house this week. I am sure that every sissy is made to clean her Mistress's House and that was normal.
Let me rephrase that. Dressing as a sissy maid for Mistress Rosemarie and other Mistresses of "The Institute for Cross-Dressing Punishment" is never normal. The Mistresses always seem to have a way of making every simple cleaning day an adventure in reminding me of what it means to be a sissy maid. There always seems to be corsets, cuffs, sissy clitty cages, diapers or something terrible and uncomfortable to hinder my cleaning routine. At least today I was given my 2″ heels instead of the 5″ heels (when I am really being punished) to wear.
Well I dressed as instructed and presented myself to Mistress Rosemarie for the "sissy-do" list of cleaning chores that she would require me to do.
On this particular Saturday in August Mistress Rosemarie took it to a new level of sissy maid punishment for my sissy cross-dressing ways. She decided that if her house needed cleaning that my house probably did too! I was uncertain by what she meant by this, so she explained. She thought that a complete wash and cleansing of my interiors was also necessary and why not accomplish both at the same time. I started to cry when she explained further to this not too quick or bright sissy.
I was to be given an enema while I cleaned the house.
Oh My Gosh, I could have fainted on the spot. She told me to stand in the corner while she went to the Ladies room to prepare my enema. She returned with a bulging two quart enema bag as I stood quietly dreading this. I have been given enemas by Mistress Rosemarie and they always gave me cramps and they hurt so much.
She instructed me to bend over, pick up my dress, crinoline, pull down my panties and pull the butt plug out of sissy vagina leaving it dangling for future insertion at the end of the enema. Then I gasped as she plunged the sissy enema douche nozzle into my sissy vagina. I clenched my vagina cheeks to keep the douche nozzle in place because the consequences of letting it fall out are unmentionable.
I was told to fix myself and to look like a proper sissy maid. Mistress Rosemarie had not released the enema, but the big enema douche nozzle hurt my sissy vagina. I stood there for several minutes as Mistress Rosemarie took pictures for my sissy scrapbook. It is so humiliating to know that I have a sissy scrapbook that she keeps and is my ultimate threat of embarrassing exposure. I stood as still as I could dreading the start of my sissy maid duties for the day.
The 2 quart enema was attached to my wrist with a pink scarf and was told that I would have to thoroughly clean all of the Ladies Rooms in the house to Mistress Rosemarie's satisfaction. She then released the enema clamp on a very low setting so that it very slowly started to leak into my body. She had put very cold water in it and in a matter of minutes it started to give me cramps and it hurt terribly. I was sent on my way to clean the bathrooms. It was very difficult cleaning as I received my enema. It took me a long time and my sissy tummy hurt a lot, but I finally finished the first bathroom. I called for Mistress Rosemarie to inspect, but as usual it did not meet her stringent requirements as she thought the toilet still looked dirty. I started to protest but stopped as she reached for the bar of pink Camey soap. I hate the taste of pink soap.
The enema had emptied and completely filled me. She told me to bend over and she took out the enema douche nozzle and shoved the sissy vagina plug roughly back in as a let out a tiny squeal. That did bring a smile to her face. I was told to redo the entire bathroom.
About half way through cleaning the toilet my cramping was terrible and I started to leak. By the time I finished the toilet I had leaked enough to leave a small puddle of enema fluid on the floor and Mistress Rosemarie having watched and I am sure anticipating this told me to sit on the toilet and allowed me to release the rest of the enema fluid.
I thought I was done, but she informed me that since it was not lady like for even a sissy to have an accident on the Ladies Room floor that I would have to start over from the beginning. She filled the 2 Quart enema bag again and we started from the beginning.
This continued all afternoon as I could not hold my sissy enema while I cleaned. Finally, thank goodness, Mistress Rosemarie relented and I was allowed to clean the Ladies room without my enema attachments. Some 30 minutes later I finally finished.
I started to cry as she told me she liked the way I responded to her new cleaning protocol and we would clean the Ladies Rooms once a month with this new routine. The normal routine of cleaning the Toilets each week did not seem so bad anymore.

Yes Mistress Katzenburg, you are correct. At the time I thought that it was the most horrible thing I ever had to do. I realized as I was writing this episode and exposing my punishment that Mistress Rosemarie was very kind. She was within her rights to have continued my sissy maid training until I was able to clean the Ladies Room and in hindsight might still be trying to do it today. The thought of having my insides cleaned by leaking into my panties and dripping and collecting down my leg inside my pantyhose is icky, disgusting and would have been totally humiliating.
The truth is that I did learn a valuable lesson about doing my sissy maid chores each Saturday and not complaining. Mistress Rosemarie must have noticed the difference because I have not been made to perform my cleaning in such a manner since August. Each Saturday it is a lesson I think about and pray that I have pleased her and do not have to repeat this lesson in servitude and humility.
I thank you Mistress Rosemarie for this valuable lesson and training.

Hello pieclown,
I got a total of three enemas that day. Mistress Rosemarie was not mean though. After I leaked the first time she did allow me to sit on the toilet and empty myself the best I could. If you have ever had two enemas in a row you know that you can not empty it out totally in one sitting. The second enema hurt so much because it filled me up a lot more then the first and when I leaked I leaked a lot and had a lot of cleanup to do. The third enema was really really bad and before I exploded on the floor she told me to go to the bathroom before I really messed up her bathroom. She was kind enough to let me completely empty myself after that and then I finished my sissy maid cleaning chores.
This was a hard way to try to clean the house and hope I don't deserve to get another double or triple enema any time soon.
Mistress Rosemarie does like to give me enema punishments because she likes me to feel the cramping like girls do and they embarrass me as she makes fun of me. Most times if I am naughty I only get a single enema though.

Hello sissymaidsadie, they can be painful and they are enjoyable in a limited fantasy. As a punishment or part of an extended activity or assignment, not so much so.

I love the second picture with you bending over. So telling! I have yet to have an enema but am very interested in it.
sissy billy
Hello sissymaid jillian – I sounds great and exciting and sexually arousing in a fantasy life, but be assured it is unpleasant and it hurts and if held for any length of time the cramping is very very unpleasant. Much like a women's period would feel like I imagine. sissy billy

Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Axis-Shield negotiated exclusive rights from Swedish company, Hansa Medical, to a heparin binding protein (HBP) assay for the development of a device to detect the onset of severe sepsis and related conditions.
Hansa Medical claims its diagnostic, HMD-301, can identity which patients will develop severe sepsis with better sensitivity and specificity than inflammation biomarkers on the market. The company reports that this enables the start of treatment with antibiotic and fluid therapy up to 12 hours before symptoms appear.
"We have been seeking an improved sepsis marker for some time", notes Ian Gilham, Axis-Shield CEO. "The urgent medical requirement for better and earlier diagnosis of sepsis is well-recognized and we will accelerate the development of the HBP assay to enable test commercialization as soon as possible." The agreement will see Axis-Shield develop tests for HBP and find commercial partners with which to incorporate the assay on high-throughput lab systems.
Axis-Shield suggests currently available tests for severe sepsis are unreliable, and some 200,000 people die from the condition every year in the U.S. Better methods for detecting severe sepsis could therefore play an important role in reducing mortality from the condition, as survival rates are known to increase by 7.5% for every hour earlier that its onset is identified and properly treated.

MDMA (commonly known as the empathogen "ecstasy") is classified as a Schedule 1 drug, which is reserved for compounds with no accepted medical use and a high abuse potential. Two researchers from Stanford, however, call for a rigorous scientific exploration of MDMA's effects to identify precisely how the drug works, the data from which could be used to develop therapeutic compounds.Do you agree that ecstasy should be studied for its potential therapeutic benefits?

To get your Nook for PC...click on any of the ebooks...then on the upper right you should see the words--
"Available on Nook devices and apps (?)" Click on the question mark. A list will come up. There you will find the Nook for PC to download. Hope this helps.
You should be able to upload your new version over the old one. Just upload the book again and it will overwrite the old one. Then save. Unless save isn't working, which happens sometimes. But give it a try.

Like I said, when I try to add the new file I get a "file allready loaded" error.
Back to home grown work arounds I guess.
Alos it's nice that BnN does not send you back to where you were after you sign in. So you have to figure out how to get back there on your own.
I'm seeing lots of little things like this , that make me wonder how well run BnN is. Or at least their digital section.
