Comic Books, Film
Here's yet another chance for you folks to earn some cool points!!
Three cool points to anyone who can send me a copy of a cover of Almanaque do O Globo Juvenil!
Two cool points to the first person to tell me four comics with an Infinity cover (A cover of the comic book that has the same scene repeated in it over and over into infinity)!
One cool point to the first person to tell me what comic book the Flaming Carrot made his first appearance in!
One cool point to the first person to tell me Usagi Yojimbo's sensei's name!
Two cool point to the first person who can tell me three comic book covers that feature Elvis Presley on them (not counting any comic that is specifically about Elvis Presley, as that'd be no fun)!
One cool point to the first person to tell me what issue did the Yancey Street Gang first make an appearance (not the first time they were mentioned, the first time they were actually shown)!
One cool point to the first person to tell me what comic book issue the Daily Bugle first appeared in!
One cool point to the first person to tell me five superheroes from Australia!
Two cool points to the person who can tell me the first use of an atomic bomb in a comic book!
A massive FOUR cool points to anyone who can tell me, definitively, which comic came out first – Saga of the Swamp Thing #37 or Crisis on Infinite Earths #4!
Thanks to Ray Rivard and Paul Newell for a number of suggestions!
Didn't the Flaming Carrot make his first appearence in his own book? Flaming Carrot #1?
For the Elvis one, does Captain Marvel jr count? lol
4 comics with Infinity covers:
Black September Infinity (Ultraverse)
Warlock and the Infinity Watch (Marvel)
Infinity Gauntlet (Marvel)
Infinity Inc. (DC)
And Usagi Yojimbo's sensei is Katsuichi.
First appearance of the Daily Bugle was in Fantastic Four #2
Lesse…Australian superheroes
Tasmanian Devil (DC)
Gateway (Marvel)
Lifeguard (Marvel)
Slipstream (Marvel)
Monteray Jack (Disney)
Numbah Four (Cartoon Network)
Crocodile Dundee
Also, Bishop is ethnically Australian
Flaming Carrot first appeared in an anthology book, Visions #1.
According to this Swamp Thing timeline…
Swamp Thing #37 came out in June 1985
Crisis #4 came out in July 1985
The Daily Bugle debuted in Amazing Spider-man #1
The Yancy Street Gang first appeared in Fantastic Four #15.
The only picture I could find of Almanaque do O Globo Juvenil:
Sorry, Ian, but FF #2 predates ASM #1 by several months.
Did Elvis ever appear on a Thriller cover? Because they had that villain, Kane Creole…
And as you can tell from this closer photo of the cover:
…it's also an infinity cover!
Here are three more:
According to the "Roots of the Swamp Thing†timeline…
Swamp Thing #37 came out in June 1985
Crisis #4 came out in July 1985
That's helpful, EyeballKid, but what I really need is something definitive, like if anyone could ever find, say, a shipping list from 1985.
Because while the books may be LISTED as being June and July, respectively, who's to say that the Swamp Thing issue didn't ship late, ya know?
Are there any stores that keep track of stuff that far back?
According to Mike's Amazing World Of DC (www.dcindexes.com),
Swamp Thing #37 came out on March 21, 1985 with a cover date of June 1985. (http://www.dcindexes.com/gallery/timemachine/coverzoom.php?cid=28243)
Crisis On Infinite Earths came out on April 4, 1985, with a cover date of July 1985 (http://www.dcindexes.com/gallery/timemachine/coverzoom.php?cid=7378)
That's even better, Phillip, thanks, but again, does that mean it ACTUALLY shipped on March 21, 1985? The DC index states "On Sale: March 21, 1985," which suggests to me that it was based upon those checklists that comic books companies put in their comics, which are usually accurate, but occasionally they are not.
And since March 21st is so close to April 4th, there is still a chance that it was delayed a couple of weeks, right?
Unless, of course, the DC Index "On Sale" dates are based on when the books actually shipped.
Anyone know what they base their "On Sale" dates on?
Out of curiosity… Why do you care which comic came out first?
"Out of curiosity… Why do you care which comic came out first? "
He's trying to nail down the first appearance of John Constantine, I think.
Of course, he first showed up in a crowd scene in issue.. um. 27? It was during the Demon story line, so between 25 and 27.
I beleive its because Swamp Thing 37 is a tie in for Crisis.
Of course, he first showed up in a crowd scene in issue.. um. 27? It was during the Demon story line, so between 25 and 27.
I don't count that one!!
As far as Elvis covers go, I know there's one for Young Lovers 18:
Will have to do a search later for more.
This isn't concrete proof by any means, but I definitely read Swamp Thing #37 on my birthday in 1985. My birthday is March 31. I honestly don't remember when I bought it, but it was obviously on or before that date.
Three Elvis Comic Book covers:
Two old Charlton comics cashing in on the "Elvis craze":
Career Girl Romances #32
Young Lovers #18
And one of my personal faves:
Crossfire and Rainbow #4 has a great Dave Stevens cover.
The first atomic bomb in a comic book is Real Life Comics #27, published Januaury 1945 (some months before Hiroshima and Nagasaki were bombed).
Moderated one yearanniversary celebration exotic hawaii girls that the alt. With a submissive.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - Bottled water, Super Bowl tickets, and
even wine given away as a sample are among the items the Florida
House may consider taxing.
After spending hours going over sales tax exemptions, the House
Finance and Tax Council will decide next week whether to repeal as
many as 51 exemptions that could generate $385 million.
But Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff, R-Fort Lauderdale and chairman of the
council, said that getting rid of the exemptions could cause more
harm for the state's fragile economy. The House is going over sales
tax exemptions in the wake of the state's $6 billion budget
Rep. Ron Saunders, D-Key West, said he would urge Democrats to
keep the exemptions, saying it's up to the Republican majority to
figure out how to balance the budget.

Attention Everyone: Very Important
The forum staff have decided that it's time to address a couple of issues that have been cropping up recently. If you have any questions about either, feel free to ask them in this thread. However, please do not spam or flame; this is a serious information thread.
Profile Comment Warnings.
If you break rules on the forum, the first point of call is a comment warning from one of the staff, be it one of the mods (Elanorea, Sarah, Hayley or Wolfie); Kitty or myself. For a minor offence like breaking signature rules or spamming, you will get just one; for serious offences, you're likely to get more than one from different members of the forum staff. If you want to have the comments removed, then you have to wait two weeks before politely contacting the staff member who left it and asking for its removal.
Now, we get on to the real issue. It seems that some users on here are claiming that certain members of the forum staff are uncontactable and deleting their warnings. This is a lie. Every single member of the team can be reached thru Private Message or Dollmail, even if their profiles are private. Using this excuse does not help your case at all, it just makes you out to be deliberately trying to break the rules and escape your just punishment. I for one get very annoyed when people claim that I can't be contacted, just cuz my profile is private; I check my PMs and the mainsite every day, so if you PM or DM me, I certainly will receive it.
I am not about to make my profile public just to pander to users who think that they own the forum and that the forum staff should be around for them to harrass and abuse as much as they want. I used to have my profile public; however, constantly having to clean spam and flames out of it was very wearing so eventually I made it friends only. Everyone on this forum has the right to a private profile, not just you and your friends.
Harrassment And Comment Warnings.
This issue is being addressed due to certain people on here who seem to think they have a right to constantly bug the mod team thru PM and profile commenting about removing warnings. In case you forgot, harrassment is against forum rules and anyone who ignores this rule will be severely punished, whether they're harrassing a newbie or an admin. If you don't like having comment warnings on your profile, then just maybe you should have thought of that before you repeatedly broke the rules on here. The rules are not difficult to either find or understand, and you can always ask the forum staff about any you don't understand. This is preferable to spamming and harrassing and you will not get into trouble as long as you ask nicely.
Now, due to people who are harrassing forum staff about deleting warnings, we have introduced the concept of permanent warnings. A permanent comment warning is handed out only as a last resort, such as in the case of serious crimes like trolling, and also if a user is repeatedly harrassing and bugging a member of the mod team. These warnings will carry a penalty of a temp ban if they are deleted. Just stop and think about what you're doing before you start harrassing; how would you feel if you were on the receiving end? There's a human being behind every mod team member's name just as there is behind every user's name... and we don't have to take abuse.
I want to point out a comparison for users who don't understand, as well. While I'm not familiar with the system yet (taking me awhile and I'm not appointed yet), there are two types of warnings: Comment and Profile.
Comment warnings can be deleted BY A MODERATOR ONLY. You CANNOT delete them yourself. E.V.E.R. The only time this doesn't apply is when it becomes a permanent warning, meaning you wouldn't stop bugging us about removing said warnings, like Miranda mentioned. They stay. FOREVER. Much like:
Profile warnings ARE NOT DELETED EVER. They are permanent and will stay in cy.berspace for all eternity and are an everlasting blemish upon your internet facade. These are usually handed out when you have done something serious and that warrants something beyond comment warnings. In the past these were given out as well to people who had their profiles set to Friends Only Comments and Moderators couldn't post on their profiles. They seemed to feel that because they had their profiles set to private and their comments set to Friends Only that they were safe from the moderators and their "horrible" warnings/infractions. WRONG! Profile warnings are NEVER deleted. They do not appear on your public/private/whatever forum profile you have, but the admin and moderator staff can see it. It is in fact these types of warnings that cause bans of any sort, not comment warnings (though sometimes users just don't seem to get the idea and we've actually had spammers who were banned within 15 minutes of joining...).
Also: Yes, I AM contactable. Just not on my profile, much for the same reasons as Miranda except people were rating me low for reasons unknown and yes, we can see what numbers you vote on our own profiles. Spam too was a factor... I'm available via PM and DM; I never want to hear anybody whining about how I can't be contacted, wah wah wah. It's called the PM system. And I also don't want to hear anybody saying 'but I don't know how' because there's a thing on here called Who's Online that we can use to see what you're doing. We see you using the PM systems too, you know. :\ Not necessarily who you're PMing, but that you are using it.
^Me and Miranda can view all activity. That's how we usually figure out that someone does know how to work the system.
By the way, this had to be put up because I was being harassed on my profile. To clarify, I leave my comments open for polite members who wish to speak to me and ask questions casually, but by no means does that make me the center for all activity. I don't want members arguing with mods through my profile since they can't go to theirs and I don't care for tons of comments asking the same thing, usually to delete comments. Its rude to ask me about warnings on my profile since its an area to speak to me casually, so please send me PMs regarding them instead.
If anyone has any concerns or questions about this, don't be afraid to ask. It is new and I don't want people to become overly concerned.
Thanks for reminding Miranda_
I would never ever forget the rules now!
Apparently a user has though since she continues to harass me, though in private now. This applies to PMs too folks. I feel very attacked at this point in time and am not amused.
I wish there was a function for the mods to be able to view all members that have or haven't read the rules and the one's that haven't should be restrained from posting untill reading the rules...
That would be having just the Friends and Newbies area visible to new users until they post a certain amount of times (and that means no spamming).
The problem with making an entire board private is that it means that newbies get fed up with not being able to post and go elsewhere. Tho you can have certain sections open (one forum I go on has a public GD area and a VIP discussion area for regular members), making the entire forum private means that newbies not only have nowhere to post, but it also makes it difficult to we'ed out the nogoods, plus might mean that decent posters might be put off.
Those are extremely valid points made. I did not consider that. It justs gets really frausterating seeing people acting so stupid on here by breaking the rules consantly.

With the end of August and the State Fair underway, many Minnesota college students have already headed back to campus.
And those who hope to go to college someday should be busy making plans – not only the fun part about choosing a college to attend, but the hard work of figuring out how to pay for it.
At the State Fair this year, the Minnesota College Savings Plan is enthusiastically trumpeting the state-designated "529" investment plan. Robert Stern is the plan's program manager. He talked with KFAI's Mike Fischbein.

Tonight on MinneCulture, producer Susan Gray takes an in-depth look at how a botched hanging ended the death penalty in Minnesota.
The shape of the Minnesota Vikings stadium is beginning to rise above the construction pit on the east side of downtown Minneapolis. The building will feature enormous transparent surfaces to let people inside the stadium see the downtown skyline, and to let those outside feel some of the excitement of what's going on inside.
The Ebola outbreak in Liberia, Sierre Leone, and other West African countries is causing a regional public health emergency as health-care workers, families, and others attempt to provide care and supplies.
Minnesota has the largest Liberian immigrant population in the United States, and last month members of Minnesota's Liberian Immigrant and Refugee community held a meeting with representatives of Minnesota's Department of Health to discuss some of their concerns.
On Saturday, August 23, 2014 at the Ordway in St. Paul, Jeri Brunoe will portray five characters in a one woman show that invokes the transforming nature of the Salmon.
Each week, KFAI's Cinema Shanty considers a current film that will screen in the Twin Cities. Join Peter Schilling and Kathie Smith as they discuss the most engaging and provocative cinema being produced today. Although this week they're looking at one of the most engaging and provocative films produced yesterday – as in 1968. The original Planet of the Apes film is playing August 22-24, 2014 at the Trylon Microcinema.
As community leaders, activists and authorities in Ferguson, Missouri continue to try to resolve an ongoing, tense situation there, scholars in the field of Criminal Justice are taking a close look at how this and other conflicts have developed.
Chicago has gained a great deal of media attention this past year due to an upsurge in violence in certain neighborhoods. Just last week, eight people were shot during a five hour stretch on the city's south side. The increase in violence is a concern for residents, city leaders, and also for Chicagoans who live elsewhere, particularly college students who hope to return home when their schooling is done.
Gentrification is a concern for many residents of lower income neighborhoods. And with the announcement of the new Seward co-op development in the Bryant neighborhood of South Minneapolis, some residents are wondering if an influx of higher-income customers will marginalize and disenfranchise the people who already live in the neighborhood.
KFAI is seeking two interns to work and learn in our News Department. The internships run 12 weeks, from September 22nd through December 12th, 2014.

Mending a bug in our SAP BW web application, I need to call two javascript functions from the web framework library upon page load. The problem is that each of these functions reloads the page as a side-effect. In addition, I don't have access to modify these functions.
Any great ideas on how to execute a piece of code on "real" page load, then another piece of code on the subsequent load caused by this function, and then execute no code the third reload?
My best idea so far it to set a cookie on each go to determine what to run. I don't greatly love this solution. Anything better would be very welcome. And by the way, I do realize loading a page three times is absolutely ridiculous, but that's how we roll with SAP.

What happens with our credits when renewing our Premium Support
Currently, my (group's) subscription looks like:
GXT Premium Support
Expires on December 20, 2012

When we don't renew our subscription, I guess the credits expire.
But, when we do renew our subscription (for all 5 members of our group), what happens with our credits?
Do our current credits expire and do we get 175 new credits? (result: 175 credits)
Or are our current credits incremented with 175 new credits? (result: 330 credits)

Abstract40067 November 4, 1996 First Point Scientific Advanced neutron-based sensors are required in support of treaties to enforce international non-proliferation and national security goals pertaining to weapons of mass destruction. Reliable, long-life sources of high energy neutrons are critically needed for use in these sensor systems. This project will develop a new type of solid-target, sealed neutron generator to meet the requirements for high neutron output (up to 1011 n/s at 14 MeV), low power consumption (<1 kW), small size, low cost, and long lifetime (>3000 hours). Furthermore, the generator system, which can be battery operated and automatically controlled, will be portable, and it can be operated dc or pulsed. The generator concept will be demonstrated and optimized for two applications: (1) detection of chemical agents and explosives and (2) detection of nuclear material in large containers. Phase I will: (1) construct a proof-of-principle generator for operation at a 2.5 MeV neutron flux of 107 n/s; (2) experimentally demonstrate the predicted generator operating characteristics; and (3) develop the conceptual designs for two full-scale laboratory prototype generator systems, one for each application. In Phase II, these advanced neutron generator systems will be developed and demonstrated. Anticipated Results/Potential Commercial Applications as described by the awardee: Applications should include: (1) detection of explosives and chemical warfare agents; (2) detection of small quantities of nuclear material in 200-liter drums; (3) measurement of the nuclear material content in nuclear fuel components and nuclear waste; and (4) detection of land mines.

Panel: Delegates wanted to leave Senator Orrin Hatch's fate up to voters
Tom Smart, Tom Smart, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Longtime Sen. Orrin Hatch was forced into a primary race at last weekend's state GOP convention because delegates wanted to leave his fate up to voters, members of the Deseret News/KSL-TV delegate panel said.
"The Hatch primary seems to have been a willful act by some who didn't feel comfortable making the final decision and wanted to defer the decision to the voters at large," Cedar Hills Republican delegate Daryl Acumen said.
The Deseret News and KSL selected and assembled the team of eight delegates to weigh-in on each race and the issues of greatest concern both prior to the state convention and following its conclusion.
Acumen, one of three selected for the panel who has been a delegate before, said some delegates at the Saturday GOP convention apparently changed their minds about voting for Hatch at the last minute.
"Several I talked to actually switched their votes away from Hatch at the end simply to make a primary more probable because they didn't think they should have the final say," Acumen, a digital analyst, said.
Hatch could have won over the less than 20 more delegates he needed to avoid a primary with former state lawmaker Dan Liljenquist if he'd acknowledged their concerns, said another panelist, Kaysville City Councilman Gil Miller.
Miller said he and other delegates believe Hatch has let them down in recent years. "So if you were on the fence, Dan caught you as you fell off," Miller said of Liljenquist. "If Hatch had just said, 'I know I've let some of you down in the past,'" he could have been nominated.
Instead, Hatch fell less than 1 percentage point short of the 60 percent candidates needed to advance directly to the general election. Miller said some delegates "simply wanted the primary voters to decide Hatch's future" in the June 26 run-off election.
Panelist Judy Moore, a stay-at-home mom from Taylorsville, said, "People are frustrated that (Hatch) has been in office for so long." She said she's "glad it's going to a primary because I think most Republicans want a say in this race."
Democrat Marla Howard said Hatch faces his first primary election in 36 years because Utahns "are disappointed in the direction of this country" and see Hatch as a significant contributor to the nation's debt crisis, war and other issues.
"Many are tired of the status quo and did what they could," she said. "They got involved and voiced their opinion."
Howard said Democratic delegates chose former state lawmaker Scott Howell as the party's U.S. Senate nominee over XMission founder Pete Ashdown because they "saw a strong contender and went that direction."
4th Congressional District
GOP delegates chose Sarasota Springs Mayor Mia Love as their nominee in the state's newest Congressional district, after Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff referred to Love as a "novelty" while touting former state lawmaker Carl Wimmer.
Shurtleff's characterization of Love turned off members of the delegate panel.
Kristen Price, a West Jordan real estate agent, said the "offensive" remark influenced the second round of voting between Love and Wimmer. "I think that comment really hurt Mr. Wimmer," she said.
But Price, who lives in the 4th District, said she isn't sure Wimmer could have forced a primary because of the way Love rallied the delegates and convinced them she is uniquely qualified to beat Rep. Jim Matheson. "She really moved the crowd," she said.

RS: Yes, just as I thought would happen and in true Yahoo form, it did. Look to the DNC headlines of Yahoo, all positive for Hillary. Most of them. We must look to the achievements of Hillary Clinton. Yahoo campaigning for Hillary. As I wrote in a post prior to and during the RNC (check out those headlines!), that Yahoo's headlines for the DNC would be completely different, and it is. No surprises there! Propaganda. No more fair and balanced reporting anymore. They have their agenda and right now it's getting Hillary elected. Like Obama. Marissa Meyer is a Democrat and this is her mission. Shameful really. But I feel the American people see through this and at the end of the day, don't buy into it. To try and sell a liar, crooked politician is insulting to your readers!

This is a very simple ring that has an elegant design to it. It is thin and I imagine it will bend if I wear it doing heavy duty cleaning or yard work, but for me this isn't for every day wear. It's gold-filled which is more substantial than gold-plated, and it doesn't have that brassy bright color that is typical for inexpensive gold-plated items. It does have real sterling silver in a rope design that sets off the gold nicely and gives it the two-tone look which goes with either gold or silver pieces. The solder joint where the ring comes together is visible but because the ring is thin and small, so is the joint, and I feel you really have to look for it to find it. If you want an every day ring, this is probably not the ring for you. Or if you're expecting a $150 ring for $12.95, you will be disappointed, because the price doesn't buy you all that. But if you're realistic about what you're getting for the money you're spending, this is a nice little ring and you won't be disappointed.
is usually photoshopped. This was a HUGE disappointment. It doesn't shine at all, looks like tinfoil. I think it will be going back.
The ring was beautiful and a great value, except for the fact that you could see exactly where they had sized the ring down to where I needed it. It, over all, is beautiful but that imperfection makes it look a bit fake and tacky.
This ring is very dainty and looks great. I would recommend this to anyone. I love this ring.
Ring was returned. The quality was poor. The ring was bent when it arrived.
Love this ring wear it every time I go some where Sparkly would not know it was just 12.99$
A very beautiful rose gold and silver tone ring. I wear it on my pinky finger.
This twist ring is very smart looking, I add it to my other rings as a addition.
I was impressed with the quality of the craftsmanship -- it is very well made.
I had a ring just like this and lost it. I really love the ring.
Attractive but dainty
I ordered this ring for a thumb ring. Petite style for any finger!
This gold and silver ring is very delicate - goes nicely with my other rings and the price was awesome!
Very delicate and perfect. Love it!
Like the ring well

The Program in Gender and Sexuality Studies is an interdisciplinary forum for the study of gender and sexuality, as well as their intersections with race, class, and ethnicity, across cultures and global geographies both past and present. The program's courses, which are open to all students, examine gender and sexuality from a variety of disciplinary perspectives. The program offers core courses, seminars, and cross-listed courses, and also directs students to courses of interest that are based in other programs and departments. A current list of course offerings is available on the program website. The program also encourages summer internships in relevant community-based programs, nonprofits, and nongovernmental organizations with which the program's theoretical and historical inquiries can be applied in a practical setting.
Admission to the Program
Admission to the program is by application, available via program website, and/or consultation with the program director.
Program of Study
Students who wish to complete the requirements for the undergraduate certificate in gender and sexuality studies must take six courses: GSS 201 or 202, the introductory course; GSS 301 or 302, an advanced interdisciplinary seminar; and four additional courses chosen from among other gender- and sexuality-related departmental offerings in the program and across the University. Among these courses, at least one must be taken in each of three broad disciplinary areas: social sciences, humanities, and sciences. Students may take gender- or sexuality-related courses in their major departments for certificate credit. In addition, certificate students are required to incorporate issues related to feminism, women, gender, and/or sexuality into one junior paper and their senior thesis.
Certificate of Proficiency
Certificates of proficiency in the study of gender and sexuality are issued upon graduation to students who have completed the program and have met the requirements of their departments.
A list of gender- and sexuality-related courses across the University may be found on the program website. With the director's approval, these courses may be used to satisfy the program's requirements.
GSS 201 Introduction to Gender and Sexuality Studies Fall SA
What does it mean to be a woman or a man? Or neither? How do gender and sexuality, those seemingly most personal and private of attributes, emerge from networks of power and social relations? This course introduces major concepts in the interdisciplinary field of gender and sexuality studies. We will analyze the ways in which gender, as an object of study and as a lived experience, intersects with class, race, and ability, and will examine the relation between gender, sexuality and power in literary, philosophical, political and medical discourses. G. Salamon
GSS 212 Classical Mythology (see CLA 212)
GSS 221 Inequality: Class, Race, and Gender (see SOC 221)
GSS 225 Sex, Sexuality, and Gender (see SOC 225)
GSS 301 Evolution and the Behavior of the Sexes (see EEB 301)
GSS 302 Topics in the Study of Gender (also LAS 314/REL 300) Spring SA
Advanced seminar; focus changes from year to year. In general the seminar uses contemporary and classic works of feminist theory to examine ideas about gender that have shaped modern culture. Topics have included feminism and liberalism, literature and ideology, and psychoanalysis and feminism. J. Delgado
GSS 304 Playing Against Type (see THR 308)
GSS 306 Women and Film (also VIS 341) Not offered this year LA
An exploration of the relationships between the idea of "woman'' and the art of film. Issues addressed will include the role of woman as performer and director, questions of film genre, the identification of the female image as constitutive of the cinematic image, the historical and social dimensions of the female image projected in films of different times and different cultures. Film screenings, one three-hour seminar. G. Marrone-Puglia
GSS 307 Theatre and Society (see THR 309)
GSS 309 Topics in Judaic Studies (see JDS 301)
GSS 310 The Family in Jewish Tradition (see JDS 315)
GSS 312 Gender and Development in the Americas (see SOC 310)
GSS 315 Sex on Stage (also THR 374) Spring LA
This course examines theatrical performance as a mode of theorizing about gender, sex, sexuality and embodiment. Through lecture, discussion and performance workshops, this course draws upon contemporary U.S. dramatic literature as it undertakes a multinational, historical survey of theories of performance. The course considers such topics as gender as performance, cross-gender performance, performances of sexual identity, and the explicit body in performance. B. Herrera
GSS 316 Queer Boyhoods (also AMS 366/THR 358) LA
This course examines enactments of youthful masculinity in U.S. popular performance with a particular eye toward accounts of variant or queer boyhoods. As we scrutinize the regimentation and valorization of specific boyish behaviors, we will explore the cultural impact of non-normative youthful masculinities (ie. sissies, tomboys, bois, punks, transguys, etcetera) as we also assess the place of queer boyhoods in American life. Course readings will be historical, literary and theoretical, with play scripts, films, memoirs and literature for young readers functioning as primary objects for the course's analytic project. B. Herrera
GSS 319 U.S. Women Writers (also AMS 320) Fall LA
An exploration of the literary works of women writers in the United States with an emphasis on the role gender has played and continues to play in the development of literary movements and genres. Our examination of both canonical and non-canonical writings will focus on the formation of feminist literary conventions in the 19th century and their transformations in the 20th and 21st centuries. Our reading will include romantic tales, ghost stories, realistic stories, novels of immigration, thrillers, works for children, autobiographical mythmaking, poetry, and graphic novels. A. Bendixen

GSS 331 Sex and Gender in the Ancient World (see CLA 329)
GSS 332 Queer Sexualities: Biopsychosocial and LGBT Perspectives Spring SA
Queer Sexualities is an interdisciplinary course, which intertwines the study of human sexuality from scientific and public health perspectives with queer academic writing about sexual orientation and gender. Through the lenses of human sexuality theory, social science and medical perspectives, biological and sexual functioning, and LGBT history and subcultures, this course will explore the many ways in which queer sexualities, identities, and relationships are constructed, expressed, and regulated. D. Bazarsky
GSS 333 Friendship SA
This course offers an introduction to the history and philosophy of friendship. We will consider friendship in relation to eros and same-sex desire; as a recurrent trope in literary history; as a mode of political thought; and in relation to questions of representation and truth. We will reflect at length on recent queer rethinkings of friendship as a way of life, and consider the intersection of class, race, and gender in the making of queer communities. In addition, this course will explore the classroom as a space for the rethinking of social relations. H. Love
GSS 334 Queering Civility: Unruly Performances and Troubled Public Norms SA
Calls for civility saturate contemporary public culture. Cultural commentators look to the promise of civility to solve the "problems" and challenges of stabilizing public norms. Civility is invested with the hope of regulating unseemly, offensive and non-normative practices across a variety of contexts. In this course, we will examine civility as an object for which we long and which in its various manifestations can be seen doing the work of normalizing political practice. M. Deem
GSS 336 Crime, Gender, and American Culture (also AMS 436/ENG 334) Fall LA
An exploration of the ways in which gender and crime are intertwined in some of the most significant and popular works of American fiction. Our analysis of the aesthetic, cultural, and psychological dimensions of narratives based on crime and detection will focus on texts by both women and men with an emphasis on the capacity of gender studies to illuminate American crime fiction's recurring concern with questions of race and class, justice and power, violence and victimhood. A. Bendixen
GSS 337 Reproductive Politics in the United States and Abroad since 1945 Fall SA
Questions of who should have access to abortion, adoption and birth control and who should be allowed to procreate and parent have underpinned major social struggles in the United States and abroad. How the state, medical experts, religious authorities, activists and everyday people have answered these questions has changed substantively over time and differed across and within cultures. This course takes an expansive view of the histories of reproductive politics in order to locate these debates within United States while situating the United States within a broader global conversation over reproductive access and justice. G. Frank
GSS 339 Queer Sexualities: Biopsychosocial and LGBT Perspectives SA
Queer Sexualities is an interdisciplinary course, which intertwines the study of human sexuality from scientific and public health perspectives with queer academic writing about sexual orientation and gender. Through the lenses of human sexuality theory, social science and medical perspectives, biological and sexual functioning, and LGBT history and subcultures, this course will explore the many ways in which queer sexualities, identities, and relationships are constructed, expressed, and regulated. D. Bazarsky

GSS 363 Gender, Sexuality, and Contemporary U.S. Theatre and Performance (also THR 373/AMS 363) Fall, Spring LA
Addresses contributions by women, LGBT people, feminists, and people of color to contemporary U.S. theatre and performance. Analyzes performance forms, contents, intents, contexts, and reception to ponder how people who straddle identity vectors influence American culture and help imagine our changing nation. Surveys significant U.S. human rights movements and the performance forms through which many were vitalized. Considers how some minority groups became central to theatre culture by the 21st century and whether or not forums like Broadway dilute the radical politics in which these struggles began. J. Dolan
GSS 365 Isn't It Romantic? The Broadway Musical from Rodgers and Hammerstein to Sondheim (also ENG 365/THR 369/AMS 365) Spring LA
Song. Dance. Man. Woman. These are the basic components of the Broadway musical theatre. How have musical theatre artists, composers, lyricists, librettists, directors, choreographers, and designers worked with these building blocks to create this quintessentially American form of art and entertainment? This course will explore conventional and resistant performances of gender and sexuality in the Broadway musical since the 1940s. Why are musicals structured by love and romance? S. Wolf
GSS 370 Topics in Comparative Literature (see COM 370)
GSS 374 Culture and International Order (see ANT 375)
GSS 379 History of American Popular Entertainments (see AMS 381)

GSS 385 Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender History in the United States, 1940-2003 HA
This course offers an overview of LGBT culture and history in the United States from 1945 to 2003. We will use a variety of historical and literary sources, including films and sound clips, to examine changes in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered lives and experiences during the last half of the twentieth century. The course will encourage students to think about intersections of race, sexuality, and class, and how these categories have affected sexual minority communities. The course will also explore the impact that sexual minority communities have had on the law and culture in the United States since World War II. Staff
GSS 387 Special Topics in Dance History, Criticism, and Aesthetics (see DAN 321)
GSS 389 Women Writers of the African Diaspora (see ENG 389)
GSS 391 The Ethics of Love and Sex (see CHV 390)
GSS 393 Gender and Science Fall SA
An exploration of two aspects of the gender and science literature: the historical participation of women (and men) in scientific work and the feminist critique of scientific knowledge. The seminar will explore ways in which women have been systematically excluded from science and assess the problems with that thesis. One three-hour seminar. A. Creager
GSS 394 History and the Body (also HIS 312) Fall, Spring HA
This course introduces students to new scholarship on the history of the body and the shifting political and cultural contests over understandings of the "natural" or "normal" body. Through primary and secondary sources, we will explore changes in the ways in which human bodies have been conceived and represented, and will consider the work of historians and cultural theorists who move further to historicize the lived experience of the human body. R. Kunzel
GSS 395 Media Spectacles, Scandalous Citizens and Democratic Possibilities SA
Our contemporary mediascape is saturated with spectacle and scandal. In this class, we take this observation and examine, not only the logics that undergird these discursive events, but also the intimate connection between media spectacles and scandals and the regulation of non-normative bodies and speech. This class will examine the manner in which non-normative subjects and practices are hyperembodied, surveilled, stigmatized and disciplined through practices that often cast them as outside of a democratic ethos. Spectacles that might be examined include Gamergate, Trigger Warnings, Black Lives Matter, Civility, and Campus Sexual Assault. M. Deem
GSS 397 Feminist Media Studies /Media Representations of Feminism Spring SA
Feminist media studies are a rich field of inquiry, while feminism is a recurring object of media fascination. Media stories of feminism circulate as authoritative. Feminist arguments often become public spectacles where the media leers at and dismisses feminist speech. These spectacularly public representations reduce the multiplicity of feminist positions and voices. M. Deem
GSS 398 Queer Citizenship: Merging Theory and Activism Spring SA
Is there a particularly "queer" way to be a world citizen? Does a queer perspective mitigate for certain forms of social, interpersonal or political action? Is a university education necessary, or even useful, for these endeavors? Does academic queer theory have any relevance to "real-world" LGBTQ activism? In this course, students will examine the connections and disconnects between academic work in gender and sexuality studies and the ways feminist and LGBTQ politics are imagined and lived within contemporary activist communities. Staff
GSS 399 The Female Literary Tradition (see ENG 388)
GSS 400 Contemporary Theories of Gender and Sexuality Spring SA
We will take as our primary text the new translation of Simone deBeauvoir"s landmark volume The Second Sex, one of the most significant origin points of current understandings of gender. In our sustained consideration of The Second Sex, we will explore Beauvoir's ideas about the influence of sex and gender on childhood, the family, sexuality, relationships, aging, work, the social order, and the philosophical imaginary. We will also consider contemporary writing alongside that text, taking Beauvoir as our tour guide as we encounter and interpret contemporary representations of gender. G. Salamon
GSS 401 Seminar. Types of Ideology and Literary Form (see COM 401)
GSS 403 For Your Viewing Pleasure: Gender and Sexuality in Contemporary American Theatre, Film, and Popular (also THR 403/ENG 426/AMS 403) LA
For Your Viewing Pleasure considers what it means to be an ideologically invested spectator of popular culture in the contemporary U.S. Contrary to common stereotypes, viewers can consider politics, as well as gender, sexuality, race, and other identities in theatre, film, and television, and still enjoy themselves, as analysis and pleasure are not mutually exclusive. These forms both reflect and shape who we are as citizens. The course will sharpen students' instincts as fans and spectators, and provide tools to deepen the analytic skills they bring to their cultural consumption. J. Dolan
GSS 419 Intersectional Activisms and Movements for Social Justice (see AAS 404)
GSS 420 Born in the U.S.A.: Culture and Reproduction in Modern America (also SOC 420) Spring SA
Reproduction is a basic biological process, as well as a fundamental one for all societies. While the biology of human reproduction is universal across time and place, cultural norms and social institutions powerfully inflect and shape the experience of pregnancy and childbirth in every society. This course investigates the history and sociology of reproduction, focusing on the contemporary United States, but with an eye toward other societies for comparison. How, why, and for whom does birth matter? How do reproductive practices reflect gender, race, and class? The course examines the culture, politics, and economics of reproduction. E. Armstrong
GSS 421 Seminar in American Politics (see POL 420)

The Effect of Early Interventions in Health and Nutrition on On-Time School Enrollment: Evidence from the Oportunidades Program in Rural Mexico
This article assesses whether early intervention to improve children's health and nutrition increases the probability of enrolling in primary school on time. Using experimental data from the Mexican conditional cash transfer (CCT) program, Oportunidades, a cross-sectional double-difference estimator on observations from two age cohorts of children is used to identify the impact of early intervention. The results indicate that early health and nutrition interventions can have a positive impact on the timing of enrollment and that caregiver characteristics affect the magnitude of the impact. Early intervention also appears to decrease days of school missed. Overall the results indicate that the full impact of CCT programs on education cannot be measured in the short run as benefits of early health and nutrition interventions may be also felt in the distant future.

LOOK: Justice League Assembles in First Team Photo
Comic Books, Film
Why yes, that would be quite unexpected.
I am incredibly intrigued to read this issue to find out how, what, and why. Thank God for DC Silver Age cover goodness.
Although I would prefer if my red car was green.
I too need to know. What if that happens in our neighborhoods. How would we be able to cope?
There must be spoilers somewhere.
That is really intriguing. I wish you'd discuss the plots within these books sometimes, I'm really curious as to why everything changed color in the story. Anyone know?
The ironic ending has to be when the world is saved and/or ruled by somebody colorblind.
The Skittles factory had a meltdown. This was well before
But why… WHY?!
^^The second "Why?" really makes the cover.
The issue beg for A Morrison sequel. Preferable a universe wide DC event. Death of the Red Lanterns maybe?
How will this change affect comedian Red Green? TELL ME!
I love how the cover makes it seem like a big deal. Who cares if everything red turns to green? You change the "go" signal on a traffic light, and you're good to go!
So the four color printing offset was wrong again. Was this issue a dig at DC's cost cutting?
The best part is that their skin turns green, too. That's an attention to detail that I don't expect from comics of the time.
"Oh shit, what the FUCK just happened to my Skittles?!?"
Something tells me this would be the most confusing "Showcase Presents" reprint ever.
"Red's turning to green, huh? Guess I'll take your word for it."
So we get all up in Flash's grill for going many times faster than the speed of light but no-one minds this violating the first law of thermodynamics. Interesting.

It's Silver Age DC. It's written for kids, it doesn't take itself too seriously and it's supposed to be retarded. So it gets a pass.
I just don't see why we can't just give everything a pass, at least on the finer points of scientific theory.
My personal rule of thumb is this: I only take a scientific scene in a comic book as seriously as the writer seems to be taking it. If a comic is blatantly playing fast and loose with science in an effort to have a fun story, I treat it as such. If a writer seems to be trying to take the science really seriously and is getting ultraspecific and trying to incorporate real life concepts and computations in excruciating detail, then I'll judge him on the same level I feel he's writing at.
I have the same rule with continuity, if a writer is obviously playing fast and loose with continuity, I won't judge a continuity mistake as harshly. If it's a Kurt Busiek book where excruciating detail to continuity is evident;y being attempted, I'd nitpick on continuity more closely.
I guess the question then is how we define 'ultraspecific'.
How that issue wasn't the best selling comic of all time, I'll never understand.
How could anyone walk past that and not pick it up to see what happened/what it's about etc?
Possibly my most favourite cover ever.
It appeals to me on the same level, yet for the opposite reason, as the 'What's going on in the locked room' cover.
Part of me hopes the protagonist of this story was colorblind, and he's just wandering around in a world turned upside-down– when he's been living that life all along.

Crap, I was hoping you actually read these things. So I guess there's no one here who knows the answer.

Staff Review: The War Room (1993)
October 24, 2012
During a recent viewing of Chris Hegedus and D.A. Pennebarker's wonderful 1993 documentary The War Room I was reminded of a particular era in American politics, of my father, and of a truck.
Bill Murray's Brilliant Sadness
September 11, 2010
When thinking of the post-Ghostbusters Bill Murray, whose career is being featured this month in our Film Vault, one tends to assume that his acting career has taken a turn for the serious in recent years, a veritable Tom Hanksian transformation, if you will.
Artsy Films
May 16, 2010
I'm often pegged as a cynic, but I'll have you know that I can appreciate some fine art as much as the next guy. Just the other day I was watching Olivier Assayas's Summer Hours (2008), and I found myself thinking about the nature of art, creative processes, how folks regard items of beauty . . . all that kind of stuff. In a nutshell, the film follows three siblings as they attempt to find a mutually-accommodating way to manage a rather extensive art collection left to them by their recently deceased mother. That's the gist of Assayas's script, however through his characters he addresses themes such as how artwork should be used and displayed, its worth across generations, and the differences between old-timey and newfangled what have yous. Thinking of these things caused me to recollect some of my favorite films depicting creative types doing and making stuff that generally makes me happy. Here goes nothing ...
The Acceptable Nicolas Cage
February 26, 2010
Look, I dislike Nicolas Cage as much as the next guy. Perhaps it's related to my distaste for so-called "action "films. Maybe it's more owing to my disinterest in "tear-jerkers." The simple fact is that our friend Nicolas Cage has made a career out of bouncing back and forth between these two extremes.

Amazing Every one who looks at the reviews of subway surfers they should keep their eye on my review because I am actually taking the truth this game is amazing and it does not glitch or freeze it is wonderful. So you should get the game and try it out believe what I am saying guys. And it is free so of you don't like it you can just delete it from your device nd also this game does not give your device any viruses it is fixed and clean.😀
Please develop a cloud system! It shouldn't be this hard to develop a cloud that let's you back up your progress. Similar games have it. Also, a fun idea - what if you could add special powers (speed, high jump, double jump, etc) to boards too, like you already have for some, but I mean to the boards you get during events. It could also be another one of our tasks (which btw haven't been added in a while): to collect 8/15/30 board effects, for example.
Attn. Kiloo Will this is one of the best running game ever made,but it should have some changes to it to make it more interesting and spicy.. Different characters should have different powers,so that one gets excited to buy more characters by buying coins , otherwise if all characters are having same powers and we get them just for sake of looking different doesn't make sense.. Rest it's a great game
I love the game but... Look. The game is really fun. But how can I enjoy it if it keeps crashing?? I am using Asus Zenphone Max and I dont know why I can't even open this app. It started when I bought the character from Venice special. Just when Ive really invested a lot on some characters it starts not to open. Oh my. You have got to do something about this really.
Very fun for all ages This game is really cool when you're super bored, and otherwise not doing anything important. My only wish is that there wasn't so many pop up ads, but it's better then spending money! Also, if you could create an account without logging into Facebook that would be nice.
Must play Amazing game. It has all the elements that will keep u glued to it. Perhaps, subway surfers is the apt game for any smartphone user. And the best part of it is that its getting better with every new version. Update:: This game doesn't store your upgrades,coins n other data if you happen to login from a new device. Such a waste. I will never play this again.
What's New
★ Join the Subway Surfers World Tour in beautiful Italy
★ Run through old city halls and cruise the canals of enchanting Venice
★ Soar through the Subway on the new smooth drifting Orni board
★ Unlock a new Outfit and surf the tracks with Marco, the charming boat boy
★ Collect colorful carnival masks to earn great Weekly Hunt prizes

Clearly We Have Found a Niche for Ourselves
The minute some Olympic swimmer has a wardrobe malfunction, we get dozens of e-mails.
Nearly a dozen people have sent us links to the story of U.S. Olympic swimmer Ricky Berens from the World Championships yesterday, in which his full-body suit ripped just before he leaped into the pool for his leg of the 4x100. Without the time to change, Berens just dove on in, giving cameras an uncommonly revealing shot of the cleft of his (basically perfect) glutes. Apparently, we are now the official blog of revealing male bathing attire. [A better shot can be found at Towleroad.]

The Season Has Ended
Season Never Ends is ending.
It was a ton of work; a labor of love; a fun time, most of the time.
But always an uphill battle.
And after seven years and six calendars, we decided it was time.
Sincere thanks to everyone who ever bought a UK basketball calendar, at any point, since the first one way back in 2008.
We're not crying because it's over. We're smiling because it happened.
Go Cats!

Government officials here like to talk about how only a gradual transition to universal suffrage will assure order and stability. Yet the territory is now witnessing a perfect counterexample: the Edison Chen celebrity sex photo scandal.
For more than two weeks, the local press has been dominated by a flood of explicit photos of Mr. Chen -- a 27-year-old Canadian-born actor and rap singer with a bad-boy reputation and at best middling talent -- in flagrante delicto with a bevy of local starlets. The photos appear to have been lifted off the hard drive of a personal computer Mr. Chen took into a repair shop. It's the Hong Kong equivalent of the Paris Hilton sex tape, but much, much worse. The ladies involved have, unlike Ms. Hilton, built their careers around their bubblegum images. The careers of some of these stars may well be over.
But other contrasts of Photo Gate with l'affaire Hilton are more germane to the question of Hong Kong's future. For example, while Ms. Hilton's half-hearted efforts to suppress her tape were conducted by a clutch of private attorneys, the Hong Kong police have stepped in to sort out the Edison episode. One computer user was held for two weeks during the Chinese New Year holiday for allegedly running afoul of the territory's anti-obscenity laws, only to be freed late last week when the Obscene Articles Tribunal issued a preliminary finding that the photos are merely "indecent" instead of "obscene." Other alleged distributors of the photographs have been in and out of custody.
That revolving door has led to frustration with the police's handling of the case. Police Commissioner Tang King-shing and other top brass have made matters worse with a string of vague and sometimes contradictory pronouncements about the legality of simply possessing (as opposed to distributing) the photos.
Several hundred bloggers have taken to the streets protesting that the obscenity law is being applied selectively, with police cracking down on these photos because celebrities are involved while allowing run-of-the-mill pornography. Simmering in the background is the territory's lack of full democracy. Absent an open political system, there's no clear accountability for the police if indeed they have bungled this investigation.
Meanwhile, there's also the question of the Obscene and Indecent Articles Ordinance itself. Public opinion seems to be divided on whether it's appropriate to distribute the Edison Chen photos. Not only are the photos graphic, but the subjects never intended them to be seen by the public. It's hard not to feel sympathy for the celebrities involved, particularly the women.
But it's not obvious that the Obscene Articles Tribunal is well suited to make determinations on the decency of these, or any other, materials. The tribunal's decision last year to brand as "indecent" a coarse sex survey in a student publication at a local university had already raised questions about censorship in Hong Kong. The tribunal is supposed to uphold community standards of decency, but when the tribunal is accountable neither to voters directly nor to a government accountable to the voters, it invariably faces questions of whose standards it's enforcing.
Pornography has always been a free-speech minefield, even in the United States, which boasts deeply entrenched speech protections. Governments routinely ban, say, the distribution of pornography to children, and with good reason. But such bans are best imposed by elected governments after transparent debate. The process is arbitrary ("Is it art or is it smut?") and only an elected government can defend its arbitrariness with a plausible claim to represent the community's mores.
This scandal started with foolish celebrities exposing their private moments to Mr. Chen's camera, and then, inadvertently, to an Internet audience of untold size. It could happen anywhere, and has. But in this case, the shortcomings of Hong Kong's political system have aggravated the problem.

Gunnar Beck
|This article includes a list of references, related reading or external links, but its sources remain unclear because it lacks inline citations. (March 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Gunnar Beck is a German EU and constitutional lawyer, legal philosopher and publicist.
Professional career[edit]
Gunnar Beck read politics, philosophy, law and economics in Germany and Great Britain and completed his doctorate in political and legal philosophy under the supervision of Professor Sir Isaiah Berlin in 1996 at Nuffield College, Oxford. He subsequently worked for the international law firm Herbert Smith and as Deputy Legal Adviser (EU law) at the House of Commons of the United Kingdom Parliament.
In Fichte and Kant on Freedom, Rights, and Law (2008) Beck argues that, contrary to the received view, Kant fails to demonstrate how political liberalism is logically connected and deduced from the doctrine of autonomy, whilst Fichte anticipates many of Hegel's criticisms of Kant. Starting from a notion of the self which is constituted inter-subjectively Fichte ultimately rejects a notion of individual rights as absolute standards and constraints on legitimate political action. If the self is constituted inter-subjectively and develops historically in interaction with others, rights become the adaptable enabling conditions of moral, cultural and political progress. Fichte's theory of rights, Beck argues in the Chinese edition to his book, is particularly relevant to sophisticated non-liberal societies like China where the ruling party has long rebutted Western criticism of human rights violations on the grounds that the 'first right' of every Chinese which trumps all others, is the right to a basic standard of living. For Fichte the first and fundamental right of all individuals is the right to the conditions of human perfectibility which include certain propitious material or social living conditions which are essential to basic human flourishing in circumstances of limited benevolence. In common with Hegel Fichte further thought that altruism and social solidarity could flourish only in communities based on common culture and shared historical destiny. Fichte may therefore not only be regarded as one of the fathers of nationalism but likewise merits attention as an early advocate of the doctrine that socialism is only possible in one country and that, in that sense, socialism is closely linked to nationalism. As a pre-Revolutionary thinker, by contrast, Kant, unlike Fichte or Hegel, never accommodated the notion of the nation as a culturally and linguistically defined entity within his broader moral and political theory, although his later writings on history are more sociologically and anthropologically sensitive than commonly acknowledged.
In The Legal Reasoning of the Court of Justice of the EU (2013) Beck argues that the problem of legal uncertainty is ultimately incapable of judicial or even doctrinal resolution. At the primary level of legal rules Beck identifies three basic sources of legal uncertainty: linguistic vagueness, value pluralism and norm conflict, and precedent instability. Primary legal uncertainty gives rise to the need for judicial interpretation. Judges do not openly decide in accordance with political or personal preference; they are expected to justify their decision by reference to interpretative topoi or arguments, which fall into three main categories: linguistic, systemic and purposive, in addition to precedents. There is no overarching rule or formula governing the application of these topoi, e.g. which type of argument prevails in which circumstances. Judges, in consequence, enjoy considerable discretion in the application of the available topoi and over which topos should enjoy primacy in which sets of circumstances.
The lack of any methodological certainty in the application of the interpretative criteria ultimately means the problem of legal uncertainty is incapable of resolution. As there is no agreed method of judicial reasoning, legal reasoning cannot be scientific but must remain heuristic. Against the background of his general analysis of the nature and limits of legal reasoning Beck demonstrates that vagueness, norm conflict and precedent instability are pervasive features of European Union law. The whole second part of Beck's book is devoted to an extensive review of the Court of Justice's case law. Beck concludes that the Court resolves the high degree of legal uncertainty in a broadly communautaire or integrationist direction. The key to the Court of Justice's restrained integrationism, according to Beck, is its cumulative interpretative approach by which it approaches interpretative problem from the combined perspective, and justifies its decisions in terms of the cumulative weight, of literal, systemic and purposive criteria. Purposive considerations assume greater weight in the Court of Justice's legal reasoning than in the decisions of most higher national courts. The added weight given to teleology generally favours a more rather than less integrationist judicial response to most interpretative questions. In that sense the Court of Justice has been an important motor of EU integration, although Beck qualifies his conclusion in several respects: i. the EU treaties and secondary legislation are characterised by a high degree of vagueness and value pluralism which embody political compromises between member states whereby they effectively delegated key questions to the Court of Justice, ii. in areas of political and budgetary sensitivity the Court of Justice often shows limited or specific deference to member states on the very specific issues in the case, whilst endorsing a broadly integrationist general principle of law which affords for flexible application especially through the dummy standard of the proportionality principle, and iii. national constitutional courts often follow a similarly textually 'creative' and politically deferential interpretative approach in politically charged cases involving issues of EU integration or budgetary and social policy issues in which the political executive has invested considerable political capital. Legal reasoning, Beck concludes, is ordinary legal reasoning in extraordinary language, and judicial decision-making is subject not to rules, but to regularities – political as well as psychological, rhetorical no less than methodological regularities. Elsewhere, Beck has argued that for these reasons the rule of law always remains a 'fair weather phenomenon'.
Gunnar Beck has written widely on the legal and economic aspects of the euro crisis. For Beck the crisis has brought to the fore an unprecedented breakdown in the rule of law and representative democracy in post-WW II Europe, which is epitomized by the only thinly disguised political role played by central banks and the EU and national courts. Under its President Mario Draghi the European Central Bank, with the tacit support of eurozone governments, has openly disregarded the limits of its mandate which is confined to monetary policy. With its 'cheap money' policies the ECB incrementally expropriates savers, fuels asset price bubbles, sustains corporate short-termism and excessive bonus payments in the investment banking seFor Beck the delegation of far-reaching political and economic policy-making functions to soi-disant independent institutions and central bankers who, like Mario Draghi, have longstanding links with leading investments banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, together with the hollowing out of democratic processes and judicial deference in the highest national and supra-national courts, are key features of oligarchic democracy which is rapidly becoming the established form of government in Western Europe and North America.
Beck who is an advocate of 'organic' integration which should not have a pre-determined outcome, argues that the top-down approach to 'ever closer union' undermines self-government at every level of politics and reinforces the long-term trends towards electoral apathy and towards a debased consumer conception of citizens. It reinforces many of the degenerative political and social trends in contemporary Western political societies, notably the susceptibility of governments to lobbying by financially potent interests groups, especially by the financial sector, the dismantlement of the postwar Western European model of the welfare state, the erosion of traditional de-centralized foundations of social solidarity, widening economic inequality, political apathy, disrespect for the rule of law and the hollowing out of residual forms of representative democracy and meaningful political participation. Further EU integration will bring Western and Central Europe closer to the consumerist homogenization of the United States, but without the early self-reliance, dynamism and even idealism of the Americans.
In addition to his legal and political scholarship, Gunnar Beck provides legal advice and representation in matters of EU law. He has been involved in select recent EU General Court, Court of Justice and UK Supreme cases involving innovative EU legal points or the division of competences between national and Union law.

Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I suspect the problem is this. Fill in the triangle
a b c d
. e f g
. . h i
. . . j
with the numbers 1 to 10, using each once, so that each number in the last three rows is the absolute value of the difference of the two above it, i.e. e = |a - b|, f = |b - c|, ..., j = |h - i|.
There are, by my count, 8 solutions (of course the left-to-right reflection of a solution is a solution).
(Too long for a comment.)
A generalization: If $n$ is a triangular number (i.e., $n = \frac{m(m+1)}{2}$ for some positive integer $n$) you can ask the question of whether it is possible to place $1, 2, \ldots, n$ to form such a triangle. Such triangles are called exact difference triangles. OP's question is for $n = 10$ and $m = 4$.
It has been proved (by G. J. Chang, M. C. Hu, K. W. Lih and T. C. Shieh in "Exact Difference Triangles," Bulletin of the Institute of Mathematics, Academia Sinica, Taipei, Taiwan (vol. 5, June 1977, pages 191- 197)) that exact difference triangles are only possible for for $m \leq 5$.
See also Gerry Myerson's answer to this MO question: "Integers in a triangle, and differences."
I am assuming the question is to write four of the numbers from 1 to 10 in a row, then in the three gaps write the absolute value of the difference of the two numbers above, then two, then one. Each number should appear once in the final diagram. So ignoring the restriction to 1 through 10 a possible pattern would be
I have it-a couple thoughts: 10 must be in the top row, as must 9 unless 1 is next to 10. There aren't that many possibilities: 4 (places for 10) * 9 * 8 * 7 /2 (for mirror image)=1008 choices.
I have solution that I got by some trial and error. These are the heuristic rules I used. They are crude, but not useless
1) Proceed from bottom to top.
2) At each stage, keep track of the number of odd and even numbers that have been used up. You start with 5 odd and 5 even numbers. If the lowest element is odd, there must be one odd and one even number above it. Proceed from bottom to top keeping track of this.
3) 10 must be on the top row.
4) If you encounter a level where you cannot fill in any numbers in a consistent manner, backtrack to the previous level and make changes. You might have to do quite a bit of backtracking.
The solution I got is
define base level to be the top most level of triangle
The following rules must apply for such triangle:
after applying rules you can get 3 base numbers (10 1 8) you only need to find 1 more base number to complete triangle. and only 4 numbers left unused (3,4,5,6) check all 4 configurations and your done.
