Confirmed: Geoff Johns Is the New President of DC Entertainment
Comic Books, Film, TV
Legal | A Judge Dredd comic that makes fun of McDonald's and Burger King is finally being reprinted in a collection, thanks to a change in the European Copyright Directive, which now allows creators to use copyrighted characters if the intent is clearly parody. In the "Burger Wars" story, first published in 1978, Judge Dredd is captured on a trip to the United States and force-fed fast food; the story includes images of Ronald McDonald and the McDonald's logo. Another story, "Soul Food," has a mad scientist creating versions of the Jolly Green Giant and the Michelin Man. Ben Smith of Rebellion Publishing says fans have been asking for years for these story to be reprinted in their collected editions, but they were held back for fear of legal action. When the law was changed, Smith said, they took another look: "It was like a light bulb went on. We thought: 'Surely this means we can look at Burger Wars?' We looked into it and here we are. This is straight-out pastiche, parody and arch satire. There didn't seem any reason not to bring them to the public again." [The Independent]
Comics | In advance of a radio show titled "White Men in Capes," to be broadcast Tuesday, BBC News looks at diversity in comics and finds it lacking; as DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio says, there "doesn't seem to really be a proper representation of ethnic characters across the entire industry." He talks about DC's efforts to bring diversity to its line, and he explains why: "There's a very hungry audience, excited audience and the reason why we know that exists is because we go to the conventions and we hear from our stores and you hear the make-up of the people shopping in those stores." [BBC News]
Well, Archie Meets The Punisher no longer seems that weird of an intercompany crossover, does it?
In Archie Vs. Predator, the unstoppable killing machine of the sci-fi horror franchise that's previously taken on such comic book tough guys as Batman, Tarzan and Judge Dredd sets his triangular laser sighting mechanism on all-American teen Archie Andrews.
The title, and the premise it suggests, is this comic's very best gag. Really, the only thing funnier than the thought of an Archie vs. Predator miniseries is knowing that it actually exists.
But is there anything to it, beyond the central joke that' so wonderfully told on artist Fernando Ruiz's cover to the first issue?
Surprisingly, yes.
Image Expo returned on Thursday, and it wasn't messing around. Each year, Image Comics seems to pack bigger announcements and bigger surprises into a single-day event. And the diversity of creators and genres gets that much better, too.
This year's Image Expo — held again at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, following last July's event at Comic-Con International in San Diego — included the now-standard keynote address by Publisher Eric Stephenson. He reviewed the past year's successes and echoed plans to make Image the No. 1 publisher, but aside from throwing the gauntlet down at the feet of Marvel and DC, his address avoided some of the controversial statements and manifestos of years past. While I appreciate a good sabre-rattling, it allowed the focus to remain squarely on the creators and their comics.
With that in mind, here are my six favorite announcements from Image Expo 2015:
Dark Horse will celebrate the 200th issue of Dark Horse Presents in February with an 80-page installment that includes the first U.S. publication of "Masks," a short story by Gone Girl author Gillian Flynn and veteran artist Dave Gibbons.
The story, about a mother turned masked vigilante, originally appeared in April as part of The Guardian's celebration of the opening of the "Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the U.K." exhibition at the British Museum. "Masks" marks Flynn's comics debut.
Creators | Cartoonist Roz Chast talks about her memoir Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? landing on the 2014 longlist for 2014 National Book Award. It's the first time a graphic novel has been nominated in that category, and Chast is the only woman on this year's list. When The Wall Street Journal noted that, between this nomination and Alison Bechdel's MacArthur "genius grant," "it's a good day to be a female cartoonist," Chast replied, "I totally agree. Actually my first thought was just it's good for cartoons, for the graphic form." [Speakeasy]
Creators | Alex de Campi talks about her pioneering digital comic Valentine, widely regarded as the first long-form comic to make extensive use of digital techniques. She doesn't think the medium has come too far since then: "We're all still in the shallow end, congratulating each other for getting our feet wet. There's been no significant innovation since us. The DC and Marvel stuff is still based on half-page increments so it can go to print. The Madefire stuff I have seen (not a lot, maybe it's gotten better) is just embarrassing motion comics. It pisses me off because there is so much more to be done. And I want to do it. But it would take an investor, or a very daring multi-media entertainment company. And big entertainment companies are many things, but daring is not one of them." [Digital Spy]
"There was a very fine line to walk, though. To create a book that Comic Book Guy could enjoy because wa-hey, boobies and gore … but that also as a female writer (and a feminist) I could be OK with. Most people won't notice that the gaze in the book towards the female characters is not predatory — the women are complicit, and in fact usually in charge. It's a gossamer thing, this manipulation of gaze, this slight change, this look awry — but it makes a huge difference to how the book feels when you read it. The book makes people really happy. And, you know, for the horror crowd, the little changes in having a woman write it so some of the invasive, penetrative horror happens to men — well, it makes for more effective and unexpected horror."
— writer Alex de Campi, talking with ThinkProgress about her new series Grindhouse: Doors Open at Midnight, a gleefully trashy exploitation comic the describes "straight-up tits and gore, the way nature (and Russ Meyer) intended."
Nonetheless, De Campi, whose work ranges from the action thriller Ashes to the all-ages Kat and Mouse and My Little Pony, approaches her work in a thoughtful way. In the same interview, she discusses how changing the point of view of a rape scene radically alters it. De Campi's work illustrates the point that bringing diversity into comics can greatly improve the stories, by introducing fresh and original perspectives — and even surprising the reader.
Tokyopop has come back to life, sort of: The manga publisher unveiled its revamped website a few days ago, and the company is once again selling books, in partnership with Right Stuf (for print) and Graphicly (for digital). The only Japanese manga available on the new site is Hetalia; Tokyopop's licenses for other series lapsed, and most of them probably aren't coming back, although CEO Stu Levy dangled the possibility of some new licenses in a panel last week at Anime LA. What's left is a good-sized collection of Tokyopop's Original English Language (OEL) manga and a few graphic-novel imports from countries other than Japan.
Although Tokyopop's OEL line earned a fair amount of derision at the time, many of the books were actually pretty solid. In addition, they provided paying work for many young and veteran artists. Here's a look at six that are of interest either because of the creators or because they are so strong (or both).
East Coast Rising: Becky Cloonan's first full-length graphic novel, this urban-pirate story earned a nomination for Best New Series in the 2007 Eisner Awards. Alas, there was never a second volume.
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading? This week we're joined by music video director and comic book writer Alex de Campi, whose works include Smoke, Kat & Mouse, Valentine and the in-production Ashes.
To see at Alex and the Robot 6 crew have been reading, click below.
Conventions | Wizard World Chicago Comic Con kicks off today with a guest list that includes Stan Lee, George Perez, Neal Adams, Greg Capullo, Humberto Ramos, Carlos Pacheco, Barry Kitson, David Mack and Chris Burnham. The convention continues through Sunday in Rosemont, Illinois. [Wizard World]
Creators | Cyriaque Lamar has a brief interview with Matt Kindt about Mind MGMT #0, which is being solicited now for a November release. (Issues 1-3 are already available.) Here's Kindt on the look of the comic: "For this project, I wanted it to be less like you're picking up a comic and more like you're holding a story, right down to everything outside of the panels. I want it to feel interactive, something you don't just drift into. I tend to read graphic novels over issues — I can't remember thirty days ago from a bit of story. I wanted each issue something you'd go back to every month. My goal was give the book as much depth as possible to reward monthly readers." [io9.com]
Johanna Draper Carlson has a thoughtful post about the appropriate use of Kickstarter, and uses Lea Hernandez's Kickstarter for The Garlicks as an example of a campaign she's not comfortable with, because the comic doesn't exist yet:
I am more comfortable funding a project where the work already exists, one where the creator needs print costs. This doesn't apply to Lea's case, but one of the reasons why is that, if rewards deliver within a couple of months, I'm protected if something happens and I don't get what's promised. Within 3-6 months, I have the ability to do a credit card chargeback in the worst case, if the provider flakes out. On a more personal level, it's more rewarding to get a book or other rewards within a couple of months, as though it was similar to a preorder. Otherwise, it feels like throwing money into the wind.
In Johanna's case, it's a matter of not wanting to invest in something that isn't substantially complete — because she wants to be sure she gets what she paid for. In the comments, though, it turns to a more general discussion of whether it's appropriate to use a Kickstarter to support the artist while she is working on the project. Hernandez points out that her Kickstarter includes printing and production costs and a modest page rate paid directly to her for doing the work:
After the falling out between Ashes writer Alex de Campi and artist Jimmie Broxton, de Campi decided to pursue having multiple artists draw the sequel to the 2005 series Smoke. This week in an update to the project's backers on Kickstarter, de Campi said the line-up of artists is now complete.
Joining A Distant Soil creator Colleen Doran and Smoke artist Igor Kordey are:
De Campi said she plans to begin serializing it digitally in June and publish the graphic novel in December.
Last month writer Alex de Campi's Ashes, the sequel to the 2005 IDW series Smoke, hit a major pothole on the road to publication when de Campi and artist Jimmy Broxton split "over creative differences." The writer offered refunds to anyone who contributed to the well-funded Kickstarter project and said she would look for a replacement artist.
Today de Campi posted an update that should make fans of Smoke happy–Smoke artist Igor Kordey "is coming back to do a 20-page flashback sequence that literally I know he will draw better than anyone else in the world (sorry, everyone else, but it's true)," de Campi said on Kickstarter. She also said that A Distant Soil creator and Orbiter artist Colleen Doran has agreed to draw a sequence for the graphic novel as well.
De Campi said she decided to pursue multiple artists for the project while on a road trip from New York City to Mexico City. "I did a lot of thinking on I-81 about how to proceed with the book, and decided to go back to my original plan of having different artists draw different sections of the book," she said. "Ashes breaks down really nicely into 20-50 page chunks (and a couple really small sections, 3 or 4 pages) based on location, time and secondary characters."
She said she has reached out to "a ton" of other artists and will develop a new production and printing timeline once she's nailed down artists for the entire book.
Internet | Sandman co-creator Neil Gaiman joined with Trent Reznor, Aziz Ansari, OK Go and 14 other members of the creative community in signing an open letter to Congress against the PROTECT IP Act and the Stop Online Piracy Act. "We fear that the broad new enforcement powers provided under SOPA and PIPA could be easily abused against legitimate services like those upon which we depend. These bills would allow entire websites to be blocked without due process, causing collateral damage to the legitimate users of the same services – artists and creators like us who would be censored as a result," the letter states.
Warren Ellis and Fantagraphics have also come out against the bill, while Peter David, who is against the bill in its current form, takes aim at those who "endorsed the piracy, supported the piracy, enabled the piracy, felt their own actions weren't piracy, and now refuse to accept the consequences of their own actions." ComicsAlliance has posted an editorial against the bill and rounded up webcomic reactions to the blackout. [NeilGaiman.com]
Ashes, one of the highest-profile and most successful comics projects to emerge from Kickstarter, hit a stumbling block over the weekend with the announcement by writer Alex de Campi that she and collaborator Jimmy Broxton "have had an irreconcileable split over creative differences," leading her to ask the artist to leave the graphic novel.
On his Facebook page, Broxton (aka James Hodgkins) was more blunt, writing, "Jimmy Broxton has been fired, and his services are no longer required on the Ashes Kickstarter graphic novel project. I'm incredibly sorry that this has happened, and feel strongly that a lot of people who have shown tremendous support (to say nothing of actually giving money to pre order the book) are being let down. I acted in good faith, you all acted in good faith, this is a mess, make no mistake."
That of course raises the question of what happens when a crowd-funded comic — Ashes exceeded its goal with pledges of $32,455 — loses one of its creators. De Campi was quick to address that, writing in an update to backers that she would refund money to those who donated because of Broxton's involvement, or to anyone who has been soured by their split.
"Likewise, once I find a new artist, if his or her work is not a style you like, you may also contact me and be immediately refunded for your pledge," she continued. "Folks, I am so committed to making this book. I am so sorry for this drama, and I hope you will find it in your heart to bear with me for a little longer while I straighten this out. Please be aware that the money you have pledged is still YOUR money (none of it was ever going to me anyway, it was all for art and print/reward fulfilment) and I will be respectful of your wishes as to where it will go."
In a later update, de Campi also addressed specific questions about the amount of completed art for the project ("only what you see here on the Kickstarter"), whether Broxton will be compensated for his work ("Absolutely"), and the search for his replacement ("I haven't even begun to look").
A sequel to de Campi's 2005 IDW series Smoke, Ashes is described as "a bullet ride through the brain of a dystopian Britain into the dark heart of the American psyche," with soldier Rupert Cain and journalist Katie Shah reuniting five years after they brought down a government and seeking to escape punishment.

We live near Powell's Books in Portland, Oregon, and Portland is otherwise a book lover's paradise with many "off Powell's" and "off off Powell's" experiences in every alleyway and town here in Oregon. We have become spoiled, but never blasé. We were excited to check out Bart's if only to celebrate an entrepreneur who trusts patrons to "drop change through the slot" for books they acquire on the outdoor shelves after closing time (sunset).
We were completely unprepared for the wonders that awaited us. This is a book shop for connoisseurs. Find your favorite author, title, or subject, and there will be an obscure title that you've never seen, heard of, or been able to find. Off market gems abound. That, coupled with the charming and idiosyncratic flow of this outdoor shop, which is really like an old rambling, roofless, house, with rooms and secret passageways.
The first-edition, signed children's book section held my attention for a couple of hours. Incredibly random, fascinating, and collectible stuff. Lots of places to hang out and chat and read, too. We went a few times during our five-day trip and it was a highlight of our wonderful get away in Ojai.
Oh. Lots of hardbacks, too! Lots!!

Optic neuritis
See Disclaimer regarding information on this site. Some links on this page may take you to organizations outside of the National Institutes of Health.
[1][2] The condition may cause sudden, reduced vision in the affected eye(s). While the cause of optic neuritis is unknown, it has been associated with autoimmune diseases, infections, multiple sclerosis, drug toxicity and deficiency of vitamin B-12. Vision often returns to normal within 2-3 weeks without treatment. In some cases, corticosteroids are given to speed recovery. If known, the underlying cause should be treated.[1]Optic neuritis is inflammation of the optic nerve, the nerve that carries the visual signal from the eye to the brain.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
Cold and Flu IQ
When it comes to what the average person believes about colds, there seems to be as many misconceptions as cold medicines on a drugstore shelf. And now that the winter cold and flu season is in full swing, we turned to Thomas Tallman, DO, an emergency medicine physician and cold and flu expert at the Cleveland Clinic, to set us -- and you -- straight on prevention and treatment.
Do You Catch Cold Because Your Immunity Is Low?
Cold viruses do not require a weakened immune system. The most common cold-related myth, Tallman says, is that colds strike only those whose immune systems are not running at full capacity. That is simply not true, he says. "You can be healthy as an ox and still get a cold."
Do Vitamin C and Zinc Prevent Colds?
Vitamin C and zinc probably don't keep colds at bay. When threatened with a cold, Tallman says, "people reach for the vitamin C or zinc. While some studies suggest these supplements might help shorten cold symptoms, others show they don't. Tallman doesn't think there's enough evidence to support their use, and the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a division of the NIH, concurs.
Does Dry or Cold Air Cause Colds?
Dry air does not cause colds. Many people believe that hot, dry air can dry up the mucus in your nasal passages, leaving you more susceptible to colds. Not true, says Tallman. As far as colds are concerned, he says, "It doesn't matter what the humidity is." If you are already sick, though, moist air can help ease congestion and coughing, making your suffering a bit more bearable.
Cold weather also does not cause colds -- at least not directly. Despite its name, the common cold is not caused by cold. "It doesn't have any effect at all," says Tallman. "There's no correlation." In fact, you may be more likely to "catch your death of cold" indoors, where it's warm and crowded than outdoors in the chilly air. People in close quarters are more readily exposed to carriers of the viruses that cause colds. "If one person in a household gets sick, it will spread easily," Tallman says.

We address the problem of scheduling hardware requests to a metacomputer environment. The environment may consist of a heterogeneous set of computing resources. A high level abstraction of the metacomputer is assumed to take care of the heterogeneity. The scheduling problem is considered in two parts. Some requests are extracted from the waiting room at first and scheduled afterwards by using bin packing to allocate the hardware resources. The bin packing algorithm is dynamically turned by the current mixture of the requests to tradeoff utilization versus response time. The extraction algorithm ensures prioritizing without starving lower priority jobs. The Implicit Voting System is compared to a well known bin packing algorithm by simulation. IVS improves the system utilization by 30% and simultaneously the average waiting time by 9%. Its behavior is also validated by integration into the Computing Center Software, CCS. Currently, this software package serves a pool of different transputer based MPP-systems to a large user community

We stayed here for one night and were all but too happy to leave early. While it is in a fabulous location to the leaning tower, the rooms are not what are advertised. The double bed we stayed in was two singles pushed together. One spring and one slate, both different heights and neither comfortable. Sheets were dirty and the towels provided were hand towels. The air-conditioner was broken- leeching water all over our bags on the floor and not providing any cool air. And while we were there, my husband left his wallet in reception. He went back for it 5 minutes later and it had disappeared. The staff claimed no other guests had been through reception, hence we figure only the staff could of taken it. We searched everywhere while they watched and stated they would help. They did however give us directions to the police station to make a report. Thankfully the restaurant and shop next door were wonderful and helped us out. The accommodation advertisements states stairs but it is actually 4 flights of stairs within a building with other residences and no lift. Very dark and dingy. For what you pay in Pisa, it is not worth the money. If the actual accommodation was not disgraceful enough, the theft by staff was..

And This Too Shall Pass By Pepper de Callier
The importance of keeping one's feet on the ground
There is a wonderful story about an ancient king and his son which may well be the first account of an effort at career development. Archeologists have found evidence dating back to 4,000 BCE of the beginnings of the civilization of Sumer. By the third millennium Sumer became an advanced and flourishing civilization in Southern Mesopotamia, which we know today as Southern Iraq. The most fabled ruler of this region at that time was Sargon I. One day Sargon assembled all the wise men of his council to discuss something of great importance to the king—his son. As the legend goes, Sargon's son was coming of age and showed great promise as a future ruler. He had great physical strength, self-confidence and intelligence. However, the king wanted to prepare him emotionally for the role of leadership.
The king knew that a leader faced many challenges that would confuse and bewilder the ordinary man. Sargon felt that in order for his son to be a truly great leader he would have to understand the importance of perspective—not all good things are as good as they seem at first and conversely not all bad things are as bad as they first appear. Understanding this would be a most valuable lesson for the young prince as he built his own sense of self-awareness and earned the reputation of being a wise leader of men.
So, drawing on his past experiences, the king asked his wise men to write something that, when read, would make a proud man humble and give a man in sorrow hope for the future. And, the most important thing, this writing must be an absolute truth—it must be true in all circumstances at all times. Only advice of this nature would be fitting for the young prince.
The wise men, in full realization of the importance and the enormity of the task, pleaded with Sargon that this was an unrealistic expectation of them to create such a thing. Un-phased, Sargon sent them away ordering them to present their work in three weeks time.
Three weeks later the wise men returned to the palace with several inscribed tablets which they presented to the king. "Make it shorter!" was the command as Sargon waved them off dismissively. After three more attempts with ever shorter versions the bewildered and frightened wise men were sent away with the king's final command, "Return in one week with no more that five words."
The following week the wise men returned and handed the king a small tablet with five words inscribed on it. The king smiled as he read the final result of his wise men's deliberation: "And this too shall pass."
Over time many versions of this story have developed, but to me the message remains as important for leaders and leaders-to-be in the twenty first century CE as it was in the third millennium BCE. Sargon wanted to pass on to his son an understanding that life's extremes—happiness and sadness—were transitory and thereby creating a balance and foundation of emotional stability for the young prince as he advanced to assume the role of leader one day.
After more than two decades of working with bright, talented, young professionals I have noticed many things about their behavior and this wonderful fable addresses two very important ones: arrogance and calmness in the face of adversity.
There are many opportunities in a talented young person's career to become arrogant—a promotion, words of praise from a superior, a significant accomplishment, acknowledgement of achievement by one's peers—the list goes on and on. It is not uncommon for someone to feel exhilarated by these things and to take an air of self-importance that soon becomes offensive to others and then, in its worst case, a form of career self-destruction. How different the experience becomes if one stops, acknowledges it for what it is, and remembers the words of Sargon's wise council, "This too shall pass,"—meaning that yes, you have accomplished something nice, but this feeling of exhilaration will pass. The important thing is to "keep your feet on the ground", receive the accolades with humility and move on to the next challenge.
The same applies to setbacks, failures or extreme challenges in one's career. These events lose much of their negative impact on one and become much less threatening when filtered through the wisdom of "This too shall pass."
Good luck on your way up!

Expanding Yuan Role Is Biggest Boost to Hong Kong Since 2003
Chinese Vice Premier Li Keqiang unveiled the biggest package of measures supporting Hong Kong's economy since the 2003 SARS epidemic, allowing more two-way investment in shares and sparking a rally in brokerage stocks.
China will start an exchange-traded fund based on Hong Kong equities, Li, the front-runner to replace Wen Jiabao as premier in 2013, said at a forum in the city today. He also pledged a 20 billion yuan ($3.1 billion) quota for qualified companies to invest in domestic Chinese securities and said sales of yuan bonds in the city will be expanded.
The plans relax restrictions on investment flows, bolstering the city's role as a financial hub and aiding an economy that shrank in the second quarter for the first time since 2009. China Everbright Ltd. rose 8.2 percent, the most in 19 months, as financial services companies surged on speculation they may benefit from the quota.
"Today's announcements should enhance Hong Kong's exposure to mainland growth momentum, giving the territory more cushioning against rising global economic headwinds," said Donna Kwok, an economist at HSBC Holdings Plc in Hong Kong.
Haitong International Securities Group Ltd. shares closed 8.6 percent higher and Guotai Junan International Holdings Ltd. climbed 10 percent.
'Piece of Candy'
Today's measures echo the government's assistance after the deadly disease epidemic, when a loosening of visa restrictions spurred spending by Chinese tourists. At that time, China and Hong Kong also signed a free-trade agreement, the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement.
"It seems to be the biggest piece of candy offered by Beijing since the one they gave to Hong Kong after SARS," said Raymond Yeung, a Hong Kong-based economist at Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd.
Making the announcements in person, with the heads of the central bank and commerce ministry, was "a symbolic demonstration of Beijing's commitment to Hong Kong," said Kwok. The quota for qualified foreign institutional investors is a yuan-settled version of an existing program settled in dollars, she said.
China will expand its companies' offshore bond sales and support the use of yuan for foreign direct investment in the nation, Li said. The city's status as a financial center "is crucial for Hong Kong's development," he said.
Financial Center
The pledge for an exchange-traded fund comes after the government scrapped in January 2010 a plan to allow Chinese nationals to buy equities directly. The so-called "through-train" program for direct purchases, unveiled by regulators in August 2007, had helped push the Hang Seng Index to a record high in October that year.
"All these moves will help enhance Hong Kong as a leading financial center," said Danny Yan, Hong Kong-based portfolio manager at Haitong International Asset Management, which oversees $600 million. "The impact on the Hong Kong market will be more long-term than short-term."
Qualified foreign institutional investors "will be allowed to invest in mainland securities markets with an initial size of 20 billion yuan," Li said. "Pilot projects for foreign banks to replenish capital with renminbi will be launched and support will be given to Hong Kong enterprises in making direct investment on the mainland in renminbi."
Zhou's Cooperation
Central bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan told the same forum that Hong Kong and China would continue to "deepen their cooperation" to protect the stability of financial markets amid global volatility.
Hong Kong's economy is sinking into a recession that is likely to last for at least a year, according to Daiwa Capital Markets economist Kevin Lai, who had the closest estimate in a Bloomberg News survey on second-quarter gross domestic product.
Li swept through Hong Kong's financial district yesterday on his arrival, with police blocking footbridges between the world's fifth-biggest stock exchange and the Asian headquarters of JPMorgan Chase & Co. when his cavalcade of more than 18 vehicles passed beneath. A helicopter flew overhead with a banner by Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd. for today's 20 billion yuan sale of bonds by China's Ministry of Finance.
Li is one of nine members of the Communist Party's ruling Politburo Standing Committee and is mentioned by political analysts such as Li Cheng of Washington's Brookings Institution as being a likely successor to Premier Wen Jiabao.
Badges of Success
While the skyscrapers and fundraising are badges of Hong Kong's success, Li also toured a public housing estate in a city where a growing wealth gap is stoking discontent. Chief Executive Donald Tsang has failed to win backing from a majority of the public for more than a year, according to the latest findings in a University of Hong Kong survey tracking his popularity.
The city lost its place this year as the world's biggest center for initial public offerings as the flow of multibillion-dollar sales by Chinese state-owned companies dried up. Hong Kong IPOs raised $15 billion this year, while the U.S. had $36 billion worth, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
In a sign of the rising role of the Chinese currency, yuan deposits in Hong Kong totaled a record 554 billion yuan at the end of June, more than six times the level of a year earlier, according to the city's de facto central bank. The Chinese finance ministry's sale of "dim sum bonds" is its third and largest issue of yuan-denominated debt in Hong Kong.
Yields in China
Price differences for securities suggest investors using the yuan QFII may look to invest in bonds rather than equities. Yuan-denominated bonds in Hong Kong yield less than those on the mainland because offshore investors have fewer options to invest using China's currency and seek to profit from appreciation.
Chinese government notes maturing in December 2020 yield 2.48 percent in Hong Kong and 4.05 percent in Shanghai, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The yuan will strengthen 5.6 percent to 6.05 per dollar by the end of next year, based on the median forecast in a Bloomberg survey.
All of the 70 companies that have stock listings in both China and Hong Kong trade at a premium on the mainland, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Luoyang Glass Co. has the biggest gap in valuations, with its Shanghai price of 9.93 yuan more than five times the HK$2.29 commanded in Hong Kong.
China is also boosting the currency's international role to curb dependence on the dollar, which may weaken as the U.S. Federal Reserve pledges to keep interest rates at record lows through mid-2013.
"China wants the yuan to be one of the new currency anchors in the long-run, thus it will be less affected by the increasingly volatile and weaker U.S. dollar," said Yao Wei, a Hong Kong-based economist with Societe Generale SA. "Hong Kong will continue to be a test ground for China's capital account opening-up and currency internationalization."

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) - Lawyers for the defendant in what would be the first war crimes trial under President Barack Obama are hoping for a plea deal at a closed meeting Monday.
Canadian Omar Khadr has been held at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba since he was 15.
Khadr's attorneys say a military judge plans to hold a closed session just hours before a war crimes tribunal at the U.S. base begins hearing the case.
Settlement talks are confidential.
Khadr, now 24, is accused of throwing a grenade that killed U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Christopher Speer during a battle in Afghanistan in 2002.
A conviction could result in a life sentence.
Attorney Nathan Whitling said a plea deal, if one is reached, may not be announced until the scheduled start of the trial.
He says he's "hopeful."

Is it possible to track XWindow protocol with a tool? I thought wireshark would be a good framework to host such an idea but there seems no support. What should be done to achieve this goal?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
Wireshark does have the ability to dissect the X-Window protocol.
However: You first have to be able to capture the actual X-Window traffic between an X-client (app) and an X-Server before Wireshark can dissect it.
X-Windows traffic between an app (X-Windows client) and an X-Windows Server both running on your local machine probably uses "Unix Domain sockets" to do direct interprocess communication (IPC) between the client and the server. There's no underlying network protocol used and thus the traffic is (AFAIK) not capturable for dissection by Wireshark).
It's been a while since I've dealt with X but I think basically what is needed is that an X-Server be running on a box such that the server is listening for (and willing to accept) network connections. If an Xclient app on a remote node (or local node ?) then connects to the XServer over the network, you will then be able to capture that traffic for dissection by Wireshark.
X is complicated; If you're not familiar with the details of running X, you'll need to do some reading or ask for additional info. I've long since blanked out details related to X.
It is possible in principle to capture X-Window protocol that goes through Unix socket using
capture X-window protocol frames that goes to X-server with pid 1998 on unix socket with file descriptor 41:
prepare the captured data for wireshark:
Now one can use wireshark on
Back in the '80s, there was an open source Xwindow proxy program that would be placed between the Server and the client. It was written in 'C' and easily modifiable to count types of messages, or volume of data passing in each direction. It also recognized malformed Xprotocol that would result when folks used the wrong functions in interrupt handlers. I can't remember the name, but maybe searching on "Xwindow proxy" might help...
I'm not sure what the XWindow protocol is, but you could make a Lua Dissector for Wireshark:

VIENNA, Ohio -- Annika Sorenstam didn't need a practice round to recognize a swamped golf course.
Seeking her third win in a row on tour, Sorenstam shot a 1-under-par 71 Friday and was three shots behind leader Minny Yeo after the opening round of the rain-delayed Giant Eagle LPGA Classic.
"It was muddy. I mean, it's soaking wet," Sorenstam said, looking down at the thick, brown mud that had coated her shoes. "If you look at the caddies' and the players' feet -- it's unbelievable how muddy it is."
Squaw Creek Country Club might have to be renamed Squall Creek after it was pounded by more than 2 inches of rain this week. The start of the play was delayed an hour because of heavy rain that fell Thursday night.
The field of 144 was allowed to lift, clean and place, but it was still hard to avoid the mini-ponds that cropped up in low-lying areas. Pat Hurst, who shot a 69, said she was forced to chip the ball twice because she couldn't putt through standing water on the green.
Three weeks after becoming the first woman to play in a PGA Tour event at the Colonial, and after wins at the Kellogg-Keebler and in last week's LPGA Championship, Sorenstam didn't arrive here until Thursday night.
She had never seen let alone played Squaw Creek, choosing instead to rely on caddie Terry McNamara's calculations and advice to guide her.
She managed four birdies and three bogeys while slogging around the course. A large gallery followed her every swing.
"I'm definitely in good position," Sorenstam said with a smile. "Now I've seen the golf course, so tomorrow I'll have no excuse."
Yeo was an unlikely first-round leader.
The Korean has never finished in the top 30 in four years on the LPGA Tour. This season she has missed the cut in eight tournaments, withdrew after the opening round last week.
Yet she matched her career best Friday with a 68 that included four birdies in a five-hole span on the front side. She said she was calmed by a call to her husband in California.
"We read the Bible and we talked about why I've been struggling," Yeo said. "My husband said, 'You've got the game but you're too afraid of messing it up.' So I came out today and I just had fun."
Joining Hurst at 69 were Patti Rizzo, Liz Earley, Michelle McGann, Catrin Nilsmark, Marisa Baena, Eva Dahllof and Kristal Parker-Manzo.
Rizzo has not played much on tour the past few years while she raises her two children. Playing in one of the first groups off the tee -- before the course had a chance to drain -- she had three birdies and no bogeys, holing a 42-foot birdie putt at the ninth hole.
Nilsmark was battling back pain but hoped she could still earn a spot in the Women's U.S. Open in two weeks at Pumpkin Ridge. With a win, she would gain an automatic spot and wouldn't have to play 36 holes in a sectional qualifier on Tuesday.
McGann jumped into contention with an eagle 3 at the 479-yard fifth hole. Her drive left her 217 yards to the pin and she hit a 5-wood into the wind that ended up a foot from the cup.
"You make eagle and that always replaces a couple of mistakes," McGann said.
Hurst lost in a playoff to Dorothy Delasin in 2000 when the tournament was played at Avalon Lakes.
Grace Park, second on the money list to Sorenstam after losing to her in a playoff last week, shot a 71.
Defending champion Mi Hyun Kim, who didn't practice because of headaches and nausea, shot a 73. Se Ri Pak, the 1998 Giant Eagle winner, was in the same threesome with Sorenstam and posted a 72.
Because of the conditions, the course hasn't been mowed.

Solid raincoater material.
Swallow My Pride has been garnering four "A" reviews with consistency, but sometimes it becomes necessary to break with tradition. It's certainly not because the action is any less vigorous, the d.p.'s less frequent, the roundelay of multiple circle-jerks-to-the-mouth less torrential or the extra "director's privilege poke" less amusing. These crowd-pleasing elements are just as plentiful as ever.
It just so happens that we believe a fully successful porno portrays female satisfaction as equal to or greater than that of the stud(s). None of the girls [herein] can be faulted for accepting every vein-throbbing inch of what their partners dish out. In fact, there's no denying that some of 'em (like Jasmyn and Persia) really enjoy their work - but at some point, Swallow My Pride becomes overwhelmed with buckets of glutinous evidence instead of mutual pleasure.
Technically, the fact that many of the male faces are anonymously framed out doesn't bother us so much as it does create havoc when attempting to issue proper credit. However, the inevitable closeups of cum-soaked female faces cannot help but reveal certain skin conditions that less clinical exposure tends to hide.

Men's Fitness magazine ranks Chicago as America's 5th fattest city and Indianapolis as #13 (Seattle is the "fittest", by the way). I'm hoping for a close, exciting and heart-stopping Super Bowl that will help cull the herd of overweight Midwestern football fans, saving the rest of us from the burden they put on our national health care system.
I'll be watching just to see Rex Grossman fall apart like a cheap siut.
Via Atrios, here's another reason to support the Bears. Indy coach Dungy supports the anti-gay Indiana Family Institute.
top secret fact: starbucks has a size smaller than tall. it's called "short".
Gabriel -- Seemed like the entire Colts organization owed it all to God judging from the rah-rah postgame last weekend. The Mighty God has revealed himself as a finally fickle Patriots fan. Figures.
Antacid sales will be way up in Chicago the day after the Colts beat the Bears to a pulp.
Thanks for that link, Gabriel. That sheds an interesting light on Dungy's son's suicide last year.
After some back and forth with others over their predictions and analysis, plus seeing the hype spread over the Colts' offense and Peyton Manning's ability, plus Rex Grossman's propensity for spectacularly bad performances... I stand by my 'Bears by 2 touchdowns' prediction. On top of the Bears' punishing D, getting to play in warmer climes than Chicago, and the Colts having to play outside in this game, Grossman loved the spotlight while playing college ball in Florida (oh, BTW, Miami is in Florida, last I checked), and something tells me he's going to have a massive game, while Peyton struggles.
Also, 98% of people in pro sports are giant Christian homophobes (how many athletes have you seen come out in today's more enlightened times? Exactly), so Dungy's support of an anti-gay church isn't a huge surprise.
My mother's anti-homosexual. I should disown her.
The NFL's a lifestyle that cashes a good check.
Wait -- we have a national health care system?

What the NBC, I Will Now BEAT YOUR ASS.
Though it's all too easy to pooh-pooh the American version of THE OFFICE, I will go to my grave saying this show has really improved over it's run, becoming it's own entity which is in someways BETTER than the original.
Then NBC comes along with the following promo featuring Jim and Pam, and tries to make me look like an insane asshole for ever liking this show! TRUST ME, the show is NOTHING like this!
NBC… I'm going to BEAT YOUR ASS.
