Comments Off on Dark Horse Presenting Kazuo Koike at SDCC 2013
Press Release:
San Diego, JULY 9—Dark Horse is proudly celebrating twenty-five years of manga publishing in 2013 by bringing legendary Japanese creator and Eisner Hall of Fame inductee Kazuo Koike (Lone Wolf and Cub) to San Diego Comic-Con!
Last week, Dark Horse announced New Lone Wolf and Cub during Anime Expo in Los Angeles, in which series creator Kazuo Koike continues the greatest samurai manga epic ever!
New Lone Wolf and Cub is an eleven-volume series that picks up right at the end of Lone Wolf and Cub—which left Itto Ogami's son Daigoro on a blood-strewn battlefield. What will happen now to the young child with the gaze of shishoogan—the eyes of one who has come in from death, across countless scenes of slaughter?
As original artist Goseki Kojima has passed away, Koike entrusts Hideki Mori (winner of the 1995 Shogakukan Manga Award for Bokko) to depict again this age of honor, adventure, and brutality. Dark Horse's best-selling series of all time (over one million copies sold) now continues with New Lone Wolf and Cub!
Koike will be signing at the Dark Horse booth, #2615, Thursday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., as well as Friday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.!
Lone Wolf and Cub Omnibus Vol. 1 is available in bookstores everywhere.
Look for New Lone Wolf and Cub on sale in 2014!

Comments Off on The Fifth Beatle Creators to be at HeroesCon 2013; Limited Prints Available at BookExpo America Saturday
Press Release:
"If anyone was the Fifth Beatle, it was Brian."—Paul McCartney
MAY 31, MILWAUKIE, OR—Ever since its announcement last fall, there has been buzz about THE FIFTH BEATLE. Written by multiple Tony Award–winning producer Vivek J. Tiwary (Green Day's American Idiot, The Addams Family, Mel Brooks's The Producers), The Fifth Beatle, chronicling the life of the Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, will officially be released on November 19.
The Fifth Beatle, from M Press Books, a division of Dark Horse Comics, recounts the untold true story of Brian Epstein, the visionary manager who discovered and guided the Beatles to unprecedented international stardom—yet died painfully lonely at the young age of thirty-two. More than merely the story of "The Man Who Made the Beatles," The Fifth Beatle is an uplifting, tragic, and ultimately inspirational human story about the desire to leave behind a legacy, amidst the struggle to overcome crushing personal obstacles and insurmountable odds.
This marks the first full-length graphic novel painted by fanboy favorite Andrew C. Robinson (Dusty Star, King Conan, Starman, Superman). The book also features a special section paying homage to the 1960s Beatles cartoons, lovingly drawn by multiple Eisner and Harvey Award–winning cartoonist Kyle Baker (Why I Hate Saturn, Plastic Man, Nat Turner).
"Telling the Brian Epstein story is a true labor of love. The Fifth Beatle really is my life's work—as I've been researching Brian's life for more than half my own," says Tiwary. "So it's with great excitement and anticipation that I can finally share this little-known story about one of the great architects of modern pop culture with the rest of the world."
Vivek J. Tiwary is also set to write and produce a feature-film adaptation of his graphic novel. Tiwary has signed a deal with Sony/ATV (who control the Lennon/McCartney music catalog) which gives him unprecedented access to Beatles songs for the film.
The standard hardcover edition will be available for $19.99 in an oversized library format. A collector's-edition hardcover of this groundbreaking graphic novel will also be available, featuring a wraparound, textured cover and a section of bonus materials including Beatles and Brian Epstein memorabilia, artist sketches, and alternate covers, for $49.99.
The limited edition (1,500 copies) features a tip-in sheet signed by creators Vivek J. Tiwary, Andrew C. Robinson, and Kyle Baker, along with a twenty-four-page bonus section including rare Beatles and Brian Epstein memorabilia and behind-the-scenes sketches, a unique, textured cover, and a special slipcase, for $99.99.
Tiwary will be signing limited prints of The Fifth Beatle at BookExpo America in New York City this Saturday, June 8th at the Dark Horse booth #1003 at 11 a.m.
Additionally both Tiwary and artist Andrew Robinson will be delivering a panel presentation at HeroesCon in Charlotte, NC on June 9th titled: Comics of the Fab Four: The Fifth Beatle and Beyond. The panel begins promptly at 11:30 a.m.
"The Beatles will be bigger than Elvis!"—Brian Epstein, 1961
Tiwary is represented by David Alpert and Lawrence Mattis at Circle of Confusion.
Vivek J. Tiwary is an award-winning producer, writer, and financier for film, television, theater, music, and graphic novels. He is the producer and writer of "The Fifth Beatle," a feature film and graphic novel based on the life of Beatles' manager Brian Epstein. "The Fifth Beatle" has secured unprecedented access to Beatles' music and is in development to shoot in 2013. In television, Vivek sold a sitcom pilot "Punk Rock Dad" to CBS, based on the bestselling memoir/parenting manual by Pennywise lead singer Jim Lindberg, and he is developing a number of additional series including "Ascension," a historical fiction / thriller juxtaposing the history of astronomy with mankind's future in the stars. On Broadway, Vivek's productions have won a combined 25 Tony Awards from 44 Tony nominations—every single one of his shows have been decorated. They include "The Addams Family," Green Day's "American Idiot" (the groundbreaking adaptation of the superstar rock band's multi-platinum album), Mel Brooks' "The Producers" (the most Tony Awards ever) and "Young Frankenstein", "A Raisin In The Sun" (starring Sean Combs), and "A Little Night Music" (starring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury). Off-Broadway, Vivek produced a theatrical collaboration between electropop/performance artists Fischerspooner and avant-garde theatre collective The Wooster Group (founded by Willem Dafoe, Spalding Gray, and others) that launched the 2008 Sao Paulo Art Bienal. Vivek also serves on the Board of Directors for Valiant Entertainment (www.valiantentertainment.com)

About Stumptown Comics Fest
The Stumptown Comics Fest was started almost on a whim in 2004 by a small group of Portland-area cartoonists lamenting the lack of local convention-style outlets. While there were certainly other comic book shows in town, there weren't any that gave much attention to the artists themselves. The dream was to design a festival with the creators as its focus, rather than dealers and work-for-hire publishers.
About Dark Horse Comics
Since 1986, Dark Horse Comics has proven to be a solid example of how integrity and innovation can help broaden a unique storytelling medium and establish a small, homegrown company as an industry giant. The company is known for the progressive and creator-friendly atmosphere it provides for writers and artists. In addition to publishing comics from top talent like Frank Miller, Mike Mignola, Neil Gaiman, Gerard Way, Will Eisner, and best-selling prose author Janet Evanovich, Dark Horse has developed such successful characters as the Mask, Timecop, and the Occultist. Additionally, its highly successful line of comics and products based on popular properties includes Star Wars, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Aliens, Conan the Barbarian, Mass Effect, Serenity, and Domo. Today, Dark Horse Comics is the largest independent comic-book publisher in the United States and is recognized as both an innovator in the cause of creator rights and the comics industry's leading publisher of licensed material.
Dark Horse Announces Powers Collectibles, Will Debut Prototypes at SDCC 2013

Press Release:
APRIL 27, CHICAGO, IL–Dark Horse Deluxe, an imprint of Dark Horse Comics, has licensed rights to create figures based on Powers, a long-running creator-owned series of comics and graphic novels by writer Brian Michael Bendis and artist Michael Avon Oeming.
Projects include a limited-edition statue of Retro Girl, a central figure in the first Powers story arc, and a boxed set of vinyl figures of the series' ongoing principal characters.
Combining the genres of superhero fantasy, crime noir, and police procedural, Powers follows the lives and cases of two homicide detectives, Christian Walker and Deena Pilgrim, assigned to investigate cases involving people with superhuman abilities, who are referred to as "powers."
"We have been very particular about merchandising Powers over the years, because I wanted to make sure it was the highest-quality merchandise we could offer," said Brian Michael Bendis. "I am a giant fan of Dark Horse and the care they give their merchandising. I am very excited about this partnership."
"We feel that Powers is one of the best graphic-story treatments of the modern era," Dark Horse Product Development Vice President David Scroggy remarked. "We are delighted to bring these characters forward. Brian Bendis is a master of story construction and dialogue, making him one of today's most widely read comics writers, and Michael Oeming's unique art style is one of the most individual in the field. Capturing their creative vision is a challenge we appreciate, and we couldn't be more excited to work directly with these two talents in making that happen."
The Retro Girl statue will be sculpted by Tony Cipriano, who has created many popular superhero-themed collectible statues for a variety of companies. Michael Avon Oeming, working in concert with Bendis and Dark Horse, created special art for the statue, which will be used as control art during sculpting. The statue will capture the stylized nature of the graphic art, while anchoring the figure in realism.
"To see your work translated into sculpture is always scary, but I'm very excited to be working with the amazing Tony," Oeming stated.
Dark Horse also plans a boxed set of four-to-five-inch vinyl figures, which will include protagonists Walker and Pilgrim as centerpieces of the ensemble.
Both projects are slated for release in the fourth quarter of 2013. The prototypes will be shown to the trade and the public for the first time as part of the product display in the Dark Horse booth at San Diego Comic-Con in July.
Retail prices and edition sizes are to be determined.
For more information, check out design sketches and an exclusive interview with Brian Michael Bendis & Mike Oeming on Nerdist News!

"a rigorous but rewarding biography" (CFO Europe, October 2005)
"highly readable" (Benefits & Compensation International, October 2005)
"...well-researched...recommended..." (Accounting Technician, September 2005)
"The story of Fischer Black...is remarkable both because of the creativity of the man and because of the revolution he brought to wall Street.… Mehrling's book is fascinating..." (Financial Times, 12th September 2005)
"…recommended as readable to those with the intellectual curiosity to pursue financial theory…" (The Independent, 30 July 2005)
"… a vignette-based business biography that captures the essence of this extraordinary man…engaging and entertaining…" (Credit Control Journal, July 2005)
In a 30-year career equally divided between academics (University of Chicago) and Wall Street, Black contributed seminal papers in almost every area of finance and many areas of economics, but few were published in major peer-reviewed journals and many were never published at all. He spent most of his time alone in a room thinking and writing, was uncomfortable in large groups, an undistinguished lecturer and famously eccentric in ways more irritating than amusing or dramatic. All of this gives Barnard economist Mehrling (The Money Interest and the Public Interest) his work cut out for him. He has responded with a book that, beyond providing the facts of Black's life, serves as the best currently available general history of the revolution in finance that took place between 1960 and 1990: the essential ideas and disputes are explained clearly, with a minimum of mathematics and jargon, and the relationships among the leading innovators are explored concisely but in depth. As far as Black goes, Mehrling gives a clear picture of his working life and reveals the strong family ties and close personal friendships of a man often thought to have been emotionless. On the whole, Mehrling's book is essential reading for anyone interested in the development of modern finance or the life of an idiosyncratic creative genius. (July) (Publishers Weekly, June 6, 2005)
"A fascinating history of things we take for granted in our everyday financial lives." (The New York Times)
"[Fischer Black and the Revolutionary Idea of Finance] does an exceptional job of capturing Black's spirit and gives an insightful inside account of the academic financial revolution." (Global Association of Risk Professionals magazine)
"Mehrling skillfully interweaves the stories of Black's career, his sometimes-difficult personal life, and his contributions to finance and to economics . . . In telling the story of Black's life, Mehrling casts light on a crucial, underappreciated aspect of the making of our current world."-Science magazine
"Excellent new biography of Fischer Black, one of the great innovators of modern finance theory. . . Mehrling also provides an engaging history of the development of quantitative finance and a solid introduction to some of its central concepts."Region Focus, Fall 2005
"By unearthing Black's personal story, Mehrling conjures a unique glimpse into the context in which "the Einstein of finance" viewed liquidity, risk, capital, business cycles the world's entire economic equilibrium. Once inside the mind of Black, you may never look at the market the same way again." Trader Monthly magazine
"Besides being a splendid account of the early and great years of the development of Finance as an academic discipline, and a fascinating biography of an extraordinary but difficult genius, this book made me think and reflect more than almost any other book."Journal of the History of Economic Thought
"...Wit and insight" ( Financial Management, December 2006)

Forgiving One's Enemies
I've told you, about daily sins, that you have to say everyday, like a daily clean-up, "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors." So what shall you do? You have enemies. Who living on earth doesn't have an enemy? Watch yourselves: love them. A raving enemy can never harm you as much as you harm yourself if you do not love your enemy. He can harm your villa or your cattle or your household or your manservant or maidservant or your wife or at most, if he's given the power, your own flesh. Can he damage your soul, as you can? Stretch toward that perfection, I beg you. Is it I who've given you this ability? He gave it who said, "Thy will be done on earth as in heaven."
Don't think it's impossible. I know, I've learned, I've proved that there are Christian men and women who love their enemies. If it seems impossible to you, you won't do it. First believe that it can be done, and pray that God's will be done in you.... It's not his human nature but the fault that makes someone your enemy. Is it because he has a soul and flesh that he's your enemy? He's what you are. You have a soul and so does he; you have flesh and so does he. He's of the same substance as you; you were made of the same earth, breathed into life by the Lord. He's what you are: look on him as a brother. Our first two parents were Adam and Eve, he the father, she the mother, so that we're brothers. But forget our first origin. God is our father, the Church our mother, so we're brothers. ...
Saul was once an enemy of the Church, and people prayed for him and he became a friend. Not only did he cease to be a persecutor, he toiled to become a helper. To tell the truth, people prayed against him, but against his malice, not his nature. You, too, pray against your enemy's malice: let that die and him live. If your enemy dies, you are without an enemy but haven't yet found a friend. But if his malice dies, you've lost an enemy and found a friend. (Sermon 56, 14; PL 38, 383-84)

Tonight at the grocery store, we were squeezing through a really narrow aisle. My almost 2 year old grabbed a case of soda and it knocked over to the ground. Squirting cans everywhere! The store was super nice and cool about it, and we all had a good laugh actually. When I got home, I posted about it on facebook. My mother sent me a message about how I need to set limits and how, at my son's age, that his behavior is my responsibility, etc.
So was this my fault?

It cost Moore County $1.48 for each vote that was cast four years ago.
But that cost rose considerably this year, largely due to electronic voting equipment and a strong turnout for early voting. But it wasn't just Moore County that experienced the rising costs.
Many counties report poll workers earned more this year than in 2004, and voting equipment - not used in past elections but now widespread throughout the state - required expensive programming.
Potter and Randall counties don't have final numbers on their election costs, but Potter County Clerk Julie Smith said wages for those working during the early-voting period alone hit $15,000.
"Which is well worth it. But because they were so busy, everyone had to work every day, all hours," Smith said of her 13 early-election workers. "That doesn't include the people I had to pull from my office to go down to the (early-voting site) and help."
Each worker makes about $10 an hour and election judges and alternates receive a special delivery stipend for returning election results to the central office.
Smith estimates salaries for early voting and Election Day will reach $39,000, an increase of $12,500 from the 2004 race.
Meanwhile, electronic voting, actually coding the ballot, will run about $30,000 to $32,000, she said.
When President Bush won re-election, Potter County spent $26,500 on personnel costs for the election. The total election cost was $52,000, according to the Potter County Auditor's Office.
Randall County Clerk Sue Bartolino said mail-in ballots likely will cause costs to go over budget.
The county mailed out 2,941 ballots. Each ballot requires several envelopes and safety measures like water marks on ballots that cost 12 cents a sheet.
The county budgeted $142,000 for elections, but the account covers the entire year. Only a portion of that covers early-voting and Election Day costs.
Randall County spent $59,600 to hold the 2004 November election, with $38,500 of it going to salaries and other items, according to the Randall County Auditor's Office.
Moore County Clerk Brenda McKanna said a typical election costs about $5,000 for her county. The 2004 election cost her $8,454 for the 5,707 votes cast. This week, 5,499 Moore County residents turned out to vote. Despite fewer voters, it will cost more as election workers now make $10 per hour compared to $7 in 2004, and the previous election did not have electronic voting. Also, more workers with technical experience are required to assist with electronic voting. The county uses a combination of paper and electronic voting.
McKanna budgeted $50,000 for elections this year.
"My first year in office, I budgeted $20,000 and we had six elections," she said. "It's better to overbudget and be able to give money back."

A sheik walks into a bar...
By Stephanie Merry
Friday, June 10, 2011
When it comes to career choices, stand-up comedy is no picnic. It can be hard to distinguish a joke that will spark amusement from one that will provoke hurled tomatoes. Or in the case of Egyptian American comedian Ahmed Ahmed, it might be difficult to predict what quip will get you banned from Dubai for a year (the answer is a crack about Islam).
To his credit, Ahmed didn't give up. He decided to return to Dubai, chronicling his journey there, as well as to three other Arab locales, in the documentary "Just Like Us." His intention was to bridge cultures through a comedy tour featuring a roster of first-rate entertainers, and it's an interesting travelogue, even if it doesn't quite warrant the documentary's feel-good title.
If there are words to live by when doing comedy in Dubai and Saudi Arabia (where this form of entertainment and many others are strictly forbidden), they might be: Keep it clean. Cursing is — for the most part — prohibited, but jokes about bad drivers and embarrassing mothers, it turns out, are universally appealing. Pretty much anything goes in Beirut, where even jokes about the sex appeal of hijabs are well received. And here's a bit of trivia: Egyptians are known as jokesters.
The documentary's mission seems twofold — enlightening U.S. film audiences about Arab culture and encouraging the burgeoning comedy scene overseas. As such, the movie boasts a few firsts, including the first stand-up comedy show in Alexandria, Egypt, and a collaboration with the first Saudi Arabian female stand-up comic. The film is at its best when it offers snippets of routines, including truly hilarious material from Greek funnyman Angelo Tsarouchas and African American Erik Griffin, whose Jesus jokes seemed to be a hit abroad but, speaking of bans, might get him escorted out of the Bible Belt.
Where the movie falters is in its "Tonight Show"-esque man-on-the-street interviews, which kick off the movie on the wrong foot and portray Americans as rubes who can't distinguish Arabs from Muslims.
If the finished product doesn't quite bridge the gap between cultures, at least it's an entertaining and sometime eye-opening trip. And the ultimate message seems to be "make laughs, not war." Who would want to argue with that?
Contains language.

Tobias Bass wants to go the distance for his disabled brother.
And that distance covers 5,000 meters – for a 5K race.
The 10-year-old Tobias, of Edmond, Okla., wrote a heartfelt letter to a local TV station seeking its help so that he can give his brother a chance at a normal life.
In the handwritten note, Tobias explained that brother Titus, who is older by just a year, suffers from cerebral palsy. Tobias added that his sibling, who is deaf and underwent surgery to remove his stomach, cries whenever he sees other children playing outside.
So Tobias made a decision: He was determined to participate with his brother in a 5K race at a local school, pushing Titus along in a jogging stroller.
In his letter to Oklahoma's News 9 program, Tobias asked for the station's aid in securing a jogging stroller that he can borrow on behalf of Titus.
"My pastor said we have to be God's hands and feet but I'm going to be his legs [too]," Tobias wrote. "I would start by pushing him in a 5K and we would work our way up to [an] Ironman contest someday."
Tobias got his wish, and then some: Moved by the youngster's deep resolve, the station reached out to a local program that helps persons with disabilities, which in turn provided a jogging stroller for Tobias and Titus.
And it's theirs to keep.
The race was held Friday – and Tobias and Titus successfully crossed the finish line together. But even before they received the jogging stroller, Tobias already had big plans brewing for other races down the road.
"I will volunteer myself out to any other parent who [wants] me to run their disabled children in a 5K," he writes in his letter. "I can be the legs for more than one kid."

They're passing time in the enforced setting, as these young Updike couples of the late '50s seem to do, with a verbal game: "Who's Best?," riffing on people from their past. »Read Full Blog Post

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Texas authorities are seeking permanent
custody of a 14-year-old girl who was allegedly married to jailed
polygamous church leader Warren Jeffs.
The girl had been placed temporarily in foster care in August after her mother refused in court to guarantee her safety. She's the only one of 439 children taken from the Yearning For Zion Ranch to return to foster care.
Documents and photos seized from the ranch showed that Jeffs, the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, married the girl when she was 12.
Her father is charged with illegally marrying the pair in 2006. He has not entered a plea.
Jeffs was convicted in 2007 as an accomplice to rape in Utah and awaits trial in Arizona and Texas on other charges related to alleged underage marriages.

James Hansen, A Leader In Warning The Globe About Global Warming, To Retire From NASA After 46 Years
The New York Times has the scoop:
James E. Hansen, the climate scientist who issued the clearest warning of the 20th century about the dangers of global warming, will retire from NASA this week, giving himself more freedom to pursue political and legal efforts to limit greenhouse gases….
He plans to take a more active role in lawsuits challenging the federal and state governments over their failure to limit emissions, for instance, as well as in fighting the development in Canada of a particularly dirty form of oil extracted from tar sands.
Hansen is our country's top climatologist. He has been one of our most tireless public servants for decades and has been right about the dangers posed by climate change longer than almost anyone else (see "1981 Hansen study finds warming trend that could raise sea levels"). We ignore him at our grave peril.
As the Times put it:
Again and again, Dr. Hansen made predictions that were ahead of the rest of the scientific community and, arguably, a bit ahead of the evidence.
"Jim has a real track record of being right before you can actually prove he's right with statistics," said Raymond T. Pierrehumbert, a planetary scientist at the University of Chicago.
Devoting himself to climate activism after 46 years at NASA shows he is keeping his eye on the prize — preserving a livable climate for his children and ours.
At 72, he said, he feels a moral obligation to step up his activism in his remaining years.
"If we burn even a substantial fraction of the fossil fuels, we guarantee there's going to be unstoppable changes" in the climate of the earth, he said. "We're going to leave a situation for young people and future generations that they may have no way to deal with."
Did I mention that we ignore him at our peril?

Thanks for your service, Dr. Hansen
– signed
a fellow concerned atmospheric scientist
He's done some tremendous work and has done his best to make people aware of dangers of climate change. Best of health to him in his retirement and luck in his activist endeavors. A big thankyou to him for his efforts.
Oh, it's on now! He hasn't retired, he's graduated!
That must have been a difficult decision for him and I have mixed feelings about it. Because he was always ahead of the times, it means we are losing a valuable mind to work on new data as it comes in. Perhaps it means that he is now so disillusioned with the USA response that he feels he has no choice but to try and wake the population up. But what is he actually going to do? Does anybody know? ME
His voice will become louder and larger now. A Personal Hero of mine.
Many thanks to Jim Hansen for all his work over many years and for giving us some hope that knowing where we are going might actually begin to turn things around.
On this day that he moves from vitally-needed climate science to vitally-needed climate activism it is well worth celebrating his work by reading his latest Hansen et al. paper at http://iopscience.iop.org/1748-9326/8/1/011006
As ever his papers are easy to read and up to the minute. This latest paper confirms that policy remains far behind climate change.
As ArtfulD says above, Happy Graduation, Jim.
No one knows better than Jim. One might speculate that as a government lab director (NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies) Dr. Hansen might have felt constrained in advancing
opinionsfacts too far beyond the political pale. I'll speculate he may advocate policies of the sort that might make even some of us uncomfortable. We'll see.
Kudos to Dr. Hansen. The WashPost notes that he intends to spend 'full time on science, drawing attention to the implications for young people, and making clear what science says needs to be done. One related effort is Our Children's Trust (www.OurChildrensTrust.org) which has filed atmospheric trust legal actions representing youth plaintiffs at the federal level and in all 50 states. Dr. Hansen's work is cited in the suits to detail 'what needs to be done'.
My Message to Dr. Hansen, Thanks for everything. My message to most of humanity – thanks for nothing.
It's often lamented that 1)climate science conclusions & impact predictions are still confused in the public mind and, 2)that NGO & grassroots campaigns have not had the impact on voters or policy we have tried for. Both problems are closer to being solved with Dr. Hansen's full-on entry into climate politics, a role he is taking out of dedication and responsibility; not, as I understand, because he feels at home in politics.
My hope is that Big Green, allies in business and policy, and agencies & NGOs at every level will start thinking about how to collaborate more closely with the science community as it steps further forward. This is an opportunity to honor and support Dr. Hansen's work and dedication by speaking louder on the imperative of science-based climate policy. A televised State of the Climate address to the nation from science and it's supporters would be, in my opinion, the most valuable and influential project, one that can only come from more intentional collaboration. That urgent, truth-telling, potentially game-changing address to a confused public is not going to fall from the President's lips and will otherwise be left undone.
From the NYT: "He said he would continue publishing scientific papers, but he will no longer command the computer time and other NASA resources that allowed him to track the earth's rising temperatures and forecast the long-run implications."
Delete the word "NASA" and that's not necessarily true. I think any number of millionaires would make donations to help him set up a private supercomputer facility. Nor is that necessarily the only way he could get access to advanced computing resources.
"Again and again, Dr. Hansen made predictions that were ahead of the rest of the scientific community and, arguably, a bit ahead of the evidence."
A bigger problem is that the majority of official pronouncements are behind the evidence.
Not much to need an answer to, as like we will see, the old man was right; he knew back in the day his question would someday be answered. If only to lead to more questions. Has anyone produced a report that might indicate our world is enclosed within various layers of protection. That even with the crafts we design and build to explore beyond our earthly bounds, we ourselves were designed for this planet alone, its like the "Hotel California" you may be looking for the passage back, Relax, You can check-out any time you like but you can never leave.
Read his book, "Storms of My Grandchildren" and one of the best on the subject of climate science for the layperson.
I also read "Censoring Science" by Mark Bowman and the Bush Administration efforts to silence him. I admire his character to stand up and speak the truth of the science of climate change and the danger we are creating by keeping "business as usual".
Amazing his history and the information he's had access to; as head of such a historic institution monitoring, watching earth 24/7; and that people can deny someone with his level of access and expertise and his extremely serious concerns is difficult to fathom.
And that he had to do civil disobedience to amplify his concerns . . . actions on knowledge in conflict with those in power perhaps reminiscent of Galileo . . . profoundly entrenched in the story of humanity compelled to prevail.
A true hero. Dr. Hansen is just retiring from NASA, where bureaucratic restrictions made it difficult for him to get everything done that he wanted to. He will continue the fight on behalf of his children and grandchildren and all of our children and grandchildren.
I know we have not seen the last of James Hansen but I gained most of my interest and understanding of global warming from his lectures. It is a great pity that politicians are making money from the fossil fuel industry and chose to ignore him. It is a disaster for the World.
You are singing one of my favourite songs and that realization is going to sink in one day soon. I just hope he makes a huge difference now. Does it mean he has to become a 'celeb' on the USA circuit? – well I guess it is worth selling your soul for, ME
Hopefully it won't be for long.
It is easy to look across the great expanse of an ocean or desert and believe the world is flat.
From space it is a different matter.
We must take sustanence from our better angels.
Especially reason.

As a cultural anthropologist and an artist, my work gathers at the intersections of anthropology, arts, and technology in Latin America and the Caribbean, and in their articulations in migration and diaspora. I focus on the aesthetics, politics, and practices of visual art in order to understand how people and places are transformed through the relationship between migrations and visual arts.
Artwork and Public Projects
My approach to art making is to think about and question dilemmas in our contemporary world, and bring these ideas to light using visual forms. Through different media including performance, photography, sculpture, video, web-based work, and installation, my artworks and public projects focus on the relationships between personhood, space, place, time, movement, and memory.
As a teacher, I have worked with students in diverse contexts including university and high school classrooms, independent and collaborative research, and museum-based courses for students ranging from elementary school to university. At Brown University, I taught "Space and Place: Geographies of the Black Atlantic" and "Anthropology and Art." This year at the University of Colorado, Boulder, I will teach "Geographies of the Arts."

Cotton Futures Extend Rally to 15-Year High; Orange Juice Gains
Cotton extended a rally to the highest price in 15 years amid tightening global supplies. Orange-juice prices also rose.
India, the world's second-biggest cotton grower, plans to delay registration of export contracts by two weeks until Oct. 1. The condition of the crop in China, the largest producer, has deteriorated compared with a year earlier after low temperatures and prolonged rains delayed planting and plant development, the official Xinhua News Agency said on Sept. 11.
"We knew coming into the year that we hardly had any room for error or any crop problems around the globe as demand had been continuing to grow coming out of the recession," said Hibbie Barrier, a director at Avondale Futures Group in Nashville, Tennessee. "There's enough uncertainty to keep prices supported."
Cotton futures for December delivery rose 1.79 cents, or 1.9 percent, to settle at 94.5 cents a pound at 2:41 p.m. on ICE Futures U.S. in New York. Earlier, the price reached 94.85 cents, the highest level for a most-active contract since June 19, 1995.
Global inventories will fall to 45.4 million bales in the 12 months ending July 31, the lowest level in 14 years, U.S. Department of Agriculture data showed on Sept. 10.
"This last leg of the rally has a lot to do with the trade's inability to sell the market without any physical on hand," said Louis Barbera of VIP Commodities, a trading company in New York. "The trade cannot sell with any conviction because of this supply tightness."
The fiber has gained 25 percent this year. The U.S. is the biggest exporter.
The price may jump to $1.25 by January because of limited supplies worldwide, O.A. Cleveland, a professor emeritus in agricultural economics at Mississippi State University, said today on a conference call run by Ag Market Network.
Orange-juice futures for November delivery rose 0.45 cent, or 0.3 percent, to settle at $1.465 a pound in New York. Earlier, the price reached $1.4725, the highest level since Aug. 4. The commodity has advanced 14 percent this year.

I have wondered if there are any estimates on the number of bullets used in World War 2. I have thought about the question but cannot even get a plausible attack strategy.
The following article describes in great detail the production and deployment of munitions by the Army Ordnance Dept. (AOD).
This is the US production, given the size of the US industry I would have thought it was more than the production of the Axis side, so if you ignore local UK/USSR amounts I would guess it represents more than 50% of the total.
Additional Information:
Lt. Gen. Levin H. Campbell, Jr. authored The Industry-Ordnance Team. The book contained his recounting of the Allied effort to produce and deliver weapons, vehicles and munitions for World War II.
(A slightly better than pure guess answer) From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II, the total number of military causalities was 24,000,000.
The number of bullets fired per kill varies based on the source from 5k to 50k. Assuming 10k the number of bullets fired would be 24 x 10^10.
It has long been noted that:
Calculating from figures in mgb's answer we get
That is certainly in the ball park, given that artillery rounds have been omitted, and only bullets made in the US counted.
It is worth noting that most shots on the field of battle (probably above 90%) are fired simply to provide the enemy with an excuse to keep his head down, and not with intent to kill, nor to wound, nor even particularly aimed at the enemy but simply fired in his general vicinity.
I have heard that the US forces fired 20,000 rounds for every casualty they produced. An example of this: Before the Americans entered the European conflict, snipers had been employed by both the Germans and the Russians to stop advances. Typically, snipers could stop an advance while efforts to locate and kill the sniper proceeded. The American forces changed the scenario. When a sniper fired at an American column, the soldiers sprayed the trees with bullets as if they were spraying for insects. Snipers did not slow down American troop movements. The American supply line won World War II.
