Misrepresenting RockwellDecember 21,2013
Misrepresenting Rockwell
Where in the world does Deborah Solomon get off questioning Norman Rockwells sexual orientation? American Mirror is her biography of Rockwell that brings up questions of his sexual tendencies which the family calls reckless and unfounded claims. Ms. Solomon appears to be a critic of Rockwell, and in her book she depicts him as having inappropriate sexual tendencies toward men and children. She admits she has no proof that he ever engaged in any sexual abuse or homosexual behavior, though. This apparent homophobic attitude is not welcomed or shared by the gay community.
Was Rosie the Riveter a sexual picture? The 1943 painting by Norman Rockwell shows a woman holding a rivet gun on her lap, and some suggest this too was sexual. Rockwell drew pictures of young boys and most everyday Americans. Some were neighbors kids. He was never accused of any inappropriate behavior.
Until she has some real and factual info on Rockwells supposed sexual behavior its best that Ms. Solomon keep her thoughts to herself and not in print. Thats my review of her book. We can be critics, too.

Disney to Reboot "The Rocketeer" With Black Female Lead
Every day this year, I will be examining the first pages of random comics. This month I will be looking at four writer/artist duos, as voted on by you, the readers! This week features Alan Grant and Norm Breyfogle! Today's page is from Batman #458, which was published by DC and is cover dated January 1991. Enjoy!
After a nice run on Detective, DC shifted Grant and Breyfogle to Batman for some reason, and they continued on their merry way, working on the book for almost 20 more issues. During that time, they re-introduced Harold Allnut, Batman's handyman, and in this issue, they brought him back and put him to work for our hero (the fact that Jeph Loeb killed him off is one of the many, many reasons to avoid reading Jeph Loeb's comics). Harold's not on this first page, though, so let's move on!
This is a great splash page, I must say. Grant begins with a caption box that implies more than one thing – if we think the narrator is Batman (as we might suspect), is he saying that he could have been the kid getting attacked by the punks, or maybe a punk himself? If the narrator is someone different, are they thinking they could have been Batman? In fact, the narrator is James Gordon, and that's exactly what he's thinking – he could have been Batman. Grant's only other writing on the page is the punk trying to inject the kid with some kind of drug. So we're wondering what the caption box means and we're getting a bit of a plot – Batman has to save the poor dude from the punks. Notice that Todd Klein does lower-case letters in the caption box – this a nice example of Klein trying to distinguish thoughts from dialogue and continue the idea of "Year One," when the characters thought or wrote in journals and the letters were often lower-case. Klein is a great letterer, so the letters look very nice.
Breyfogle does a wonderful job with the splash page. Batman's flowing cape forms the panel border and enfolds the bad guys as well, implying Batman's omniscience in Gotham City. The punks are typical late '80s/early '90s street toughs, with the ripped shirt sleeves and the skinny ties – wait, are they punks or down-on-their-luck stockbrokers? – and Breyfogle does a nice job showing the two punks in the middle ground, watching the action while the punk in the back sees Batman and freaks out. Breyfogle also gives us a clue about what's going on – note the claws on Batman and the almost supernatural way he looms in the background. We learn soon that this is Gordon daydreaming about being Batman, so of course he looks a bit less "real" than he usually does. Breyfogle makes him a horrifying force of nature, with the claws, the eye slits and the enfolding cape making the criminals fear him even more than they do in "real" life. Breyfogle makes sure to put the full moon between his "wings," making him even more baleful and eerie. Outside the panel border, the moon is the only thing that's colored, and Roy even uses a pale yellow that contrasts with the electric light, making Batman's blackness even deeper. She also makes his blues a bit deeper and more purple – it's a bit more blue when the actual Batman shows up. It makes Batman even more a figure of terror.
This is a fine example of a beautiful and slightly experimental splash page acting as a good introduction to the story. Grant and Breyfogle knew how to get us right into the issue, and I very much doubt that you would be able to resist turning the page after reading this!
Next: Grant and Breyfogle get their own Bat-comic! Unfortunately, they didn't last too long on it, but we can see a page from their brief run! In case you haven't had enough Batman, there's more in the archives!
I had forgotten about Jeph Loeb killing Harold. That was in Hush, right?
This is a great splash page, but the punks didn't really age well. They seem like they belong in West Side Story.
Pedro: Indeed it was. Ah, "Hush" – your primer on how not to write a good comic. If you do everything exactly the opposite of what Loeb did in "Hush," you'd have a brilliant piece of work!
I don't know, though – that punk with the skinny tie looks pretty tough!
It's not just that he killed Harold. Loeb turned him into a traitor too
Ugh, I've avoided reading "Hush" since first came out, so I'd managed to forget about that.
What a great splash page, one of my favorites! This is making me want to dig out the entire Grant/Breyfogle run and give it another re-read. It's been too damn long since I went through them.
In the late 80's/ early 90's, skinny ties were synonymous with being tough.
Reintroduced Harold? Who originally introduced him?
I believe this first page also could have operated, sans Batman, as part of the Kid Miracleman story, right?
I'm going to hell.
Travis: That would be Denny O'Neil in The Question #33. The issue's story is actually named "Harold."
Ohh, yeah, I remember reading that he debuted in the Question. I would guess Denny was an editor on the Bat Books when Grant and Breyfogle were there and "suggested" they add Harold in.
Thank you, kind sir!
"After a nice run on Detective, DC shifted Grant and Breyfogle to Batman for some reason, and they continued on their merry way, working on the book for almost 20 more issues."
I thought I had heard that it was because 'Detective Comics' was out-selling 'Batman', but now I'm looking on-line and can't even find any references to Grant & Breyfogle working on the main Bat title at all! [In fact, I've seen a few references saying that never happened.]
sean: While I was putting these posts together, I found an interview the two did about five years ago. They did say that Detective was outselling Batman, but they never got that as an "official" reason for switching books. I imagine that was the reason, but nobody knows for sure, I guess. Those references who said it never happened obviously don't know what they're talking about!
I've really been enjoying these posts on Grant/Breyfogle, Greg. I loved their work on Detective and for years had no idea that they were so well thought of (by people of "taste and discernment"). It's great to see such enthusiasm for them. I can't remember but didn't they have more freedom in Detective Comics? I seem to remember reading their earlier work in a British reprint magazine but I may be mistaken there, too! I have a real soft spot for Harold, especially as I *think* the first original U.S issue featuring G & B's work also introduced Mr Allnutt tothe Bat-World, although there are those who disagree (they are *monsters*!) I thought Harold was an interesting additiiion however as is often the case with "nice" or vulnerable characters he was eventually dumped (I might make some comparison to the uh "reap" " world but I won't). Imagine my "surprise" and horror when – after years of not reading comic books I picked up Hush from the library only to discover that they (Loeb and Lee) brought back Harold only to kill him off in service to a supremely contrived and shitty story, ughkhkn! That I later read Identity Crisis (because I saw some good reviews, go figure) and Countdown to Infinite Crisis seemed to suggest there was something rotten at the heart of DC, and a lot of what I've read since hasn't truly proved me wrong (not that I'm letting Marvel off the hook, ohhh Noooo!). There are some pretty odd ideas drifting around concerning what's a good idea and what isn't, as well as what counts as "mature. Um, Rants Ends Hete. Yes, I liked Grant and Breyfogle's work, and Norm's Batman is one of the best and most imposing ever (Jim Lee? I shit him says Harold Shand!).
I enjoyed your comments on cursive writing and velcro (!) elsewhere. Too true. Don't be in a haste to dump things just because some new technology is dominating (remember the Cylons!). As an aside, it*s weird how "nerdy" characters (as opposed to "geeks" – not the chicken-head chewin' kind) are treated in comics and elsewhere, Ultimate Reed Richards is a mass-murderer? Others are creepy misogynists or worse? I wonder why that is? Do people always need someone to demonize or bully? Look at the way the disabled or depressed are treated, gah. Sorry for the depressive tangent. I *do* enjoy your stuff cimpadre!
"Those references who said it never happened obviously don't know what they're talking about! "
Oh, yeah, just in case there was any doubt, I didn't say that as any sort of counter-point to you. I just thought it was funny that I was looking for something [probably that interview you mentioned, since my roommate at that time was a huge Grant/Breyfogle fan, so I almost certainly saw that] and came upon a reference that said "It's too bad they never did this…" Also, really odd, the Wikipedia entry for Grant doesn't have any mention of this part of the run [I'd add it, but I don't know the numbers myself].
Anyway, thanks!
sean: Yeah, I knew you weren't trying to deny it. I just find it humorous that anyone would think so! They started a few issues earlier than this (I don't have the number in front of me, but it was around #455) and went to, I think, #476. There was a three-part story in the middle by Dixon and Lyle, but otherwise it was Grant and Breyfogle, so maybe 18 issues or so?

Money Market Stress Surges as Stocks Rout on Growth Concerns
Gauges of stress in money markets surged to the highest in at least a year as stocks and commodities tumbled on concern the global economic recovery is faltering.
The TED spread, the difference between what lenders and the U.S. government pay to borrow for three months, widened to 26.4 basis points in London today, the most since Aug. 5. A gauge of bank funding stress in Australia climbed to 47 basis points, the highest since March 2009.
Investors are fleeing riskier assets as policy makers in the U.S. and Europe grapple with debt crises amid signs of slowing economic growth. While signs of money-market turmoil are increasing, they remain far below the levels reached as the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. sparked a global credit freeze in 2008.
"I don't think we're out of control yet," said Adam Carr, senior economist in Sydney at ICAP Australia Ltd., part of the world's largest interdealer broker. "The market's telling you it's afraid, but we're not beyond the point of no return."
The TED Spread peaked at 463 basis points on Oct. 10, 2008. In Australia, the gap between the interest banks pay to borrow from each other for three months and swaps that track expectations for the central bank's benchmark rate reached as high as 144 basis points on Oct. 7 the same year.
Europe Crisis
Over opposition from Germany's Bundesbank, European Central Bank President Jean-Claude Trichet yesterday sent the ECB back into bond markets as yields on Italian and Spanish yields soared, threatening the ability of the euro region's third- and fourth-largest economies to borrow.
As the sell-off continued, traders said the ECB purchased only Irish and Portuguese securities, suggesting the central bank is reluctant to put up the funds needed to tame a crisis it says governments are responsible for fixing.
The three-month Euribor-OIS spread, a gauge of banks' reluctance to lend, rose to 55.3 basis points in London today, the most since May 18, 2009.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index plunged 4.8 percent yesterday to an eight-month low. U.S. options prices soared the most in four years and volume jumped to a record 35 million contracts as investors rushed to buy protection against greater stock-market losses.
Consumer confidence in the U.S. dropped last week to the lowest level in more than two months amid political wrangling over raising the debt ceiling and a stagnant job market.
The turmoil in financial markets is due to political "incompetence" in Europe and the U.S., and global economic growth prospects still look solid, said Carr.
"Markets are nervous, people are nervous, and the problem is, there's no real catalyst for it," he said. "This is fear driving fear, and as we saw in 2008, that can have devastating consequences."

Naturally Sedating that Menopausal Wailing Banshee
In these few passing months I have slowly but surely come to feel happy and blissful again, having found some freedom from that ever wailing Menopausal Banshee. The remedy: keeping busy—cooking to my heart's content, unpacking boxes, re-arranging furniture—and lots of fresh air and sunshine. By Spending many quiet, quality hours in my garden, I have found comforting peace in Nature, amongst my fruit trees and thriving vegetables. My spirit feels renewed. But DANG if every muscle in my body doesn't hurt like a son-of-a-gun! When did I get so old?
Though I do look forward every morning to getting busy, having an agenda already planned in my head—watering, weeding, fertilizing, and a spectacular meal plan—I don't necessarily jump out of bed in the mornings. I open my eyes and lie there waiting to feel that every muscle in my body will be functional. Then I slowly get dressed—because I am not as nimble as I used to be—gather my wild peppered hair into a ponytail, and make my way out of the bedroom and into the kitchen to brew coffee.
The day will usually begin with a glorious shining sun bursting through my home's windows, and I'll eventually step outside to survey my front and backyards. Outside, I immediately feel the warmth of the sun on my skin and face, and sometimes with just a touch of a chilled breeze lightly blowing. I hear the birds chirping their rehearsed songs, and soon see them expertly maneuvering through the air. And in the distance I can just make out the distinct sound of a lawnmower's motor revving, and, competing to be heard, the hum-drum sound of a leaf blower.
From the open hill on which we live, with a panoramic view, I look around at the majestic beauty of the mountains, here, up on higher ground, and I can't help but take a deep breath at all the greenery: flourishing grass, prosperous trees, and leaves scattered from the constant blowing wind, and all methodically placed.
Way up high on a mountain, I can just make out grazing cattle and people riding on horseback. And if I stand long-enough, silent and unmoving, I will be rewarded with Nature on the move. Unbelievably, hummingbirds will hover over my head, as if to examine if I am a threat, and rabbits, which have made their home here, will also stop to stare at me, standing not 5-feet away, and linger longer to graze on the grass.
Now even the deer seem to have a curiosity about me, often stopping for many moments to gape, and on many occasions now don't even bother to flee like they used to, they will continue about their business, eating. I think they have begun to recognize me, and know I mean them no harm.
Menopause and I, for the moment, seem to be at peace!
We dream a life to be; we live to dream that life! (vka)

I was not surprised to learn of Tom Izzo's decision to stay at Michigan State. There was a lot of talk involving the Cleveland Cavaliers' interest in Izzo, and the offer made by Cavaliers owner and Spartan alum Dan Gilbert, estimated at $6 million per season, was certainly generous.
Then again, Izzo is not starving -- he's making around $3 million per season!
The bottom line is simple ... Izzo is a college coach who has made a name for himself in East Lansing, Mich. I don't think he would have enjoyed going from 35-40 games during a successful college season, to around 100 in the NBA if you add up preseason, the 82-game regular-season campaign and the playoffs.
I've been told that this is the last time Izzo will consider an NBA job. That is great news for the Spartans, baby!
I coached in the NBA and the stress and strain for a coach who lived and died on every possession was tough. With Izzo's mentality and tenacity, it would have been difficult. He is as intense as it gets. He pours his heart out on each and every possession. Try doing that 48 minutes a night, times 100 games a season; it is three seasons in one compared to a college campaign.
I understand the lure of coaching on the pro sidelines. The idea of possibily coaching the best player in the game today, LeBron James, is thrilling. I believe if LeBron was definitely going to be in Cleveland next season, there may have been a different decision.
Honestly, I think this was the right call. Izzo belongs as coach of the Spartans, where he has led the program to six Final Fours over the past 12 years. I do have to ask, why would a coach, who is at an elite school with a chance to win a national title next season, leave to go to the NBA? Even with LeBron, look at what happened to Mike Brown? He won 127 games over the last two seasons, including one 66-16 campaign, yet he still got the ziggy.
I believe Izzo's decision will preserve his legacy. I think about Rick Pitino and honestly believe he would be in the Hall of Fame right now if he had stayed at Kentucky and did not go to the Celtics.
To me, Izzo is a future Hall of Famer, an outstanding college coach who wants to hold the gold trophy in Houston next season. Led by Kalin Lucas, Durrell Summers, Draymond Green, Delvin Roe and Korie Lucious, he has the experience and talent to make another run at the national championship.
I know the fans in East Lansing are jumping for joy. Izzo is a class act, a man that I have enjoyed knowing for many years. I was so thrlled when he was involved as an honoree at my Dickie V gala. That is the kind of person he is. He and his wife Lupe are class personified.
Now that he has decided to stay at Michigan State, he can comfortably finish out his career in East Lansing, with an eventual stop in Springfield, Mass., as a future Hall of Famer.

Raspberry Pi produces a "step function in fun"
Fun Squared
The Raspberry Pi computer has rekindled interest in tinkering with hardware and created a market for products combining the tiny computer with customized software.
Those of you who know me know that I designed electronics circuits in high school and then studied Electrical Engineering at Drexel University (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania). Unfortunately during that career I was almost electrocuted by 13,600 volts and 800 amps (twice!). Fortunately I found software as much fun and a lot safer, other than paper cuts from ripping printouts. Back in those days electronic components were very expensive (US$ 128,000 for 64KB of core memory), so I took the software route and let someone else pay for the hardware.
I continued to be interested in hardware, and I even assembled my own computer from chips and prototyped digital circuits with the use of breadboards, sometimes with wire-wrapping. Soldering tens of thousands of pins perfected my soldering technique, and you really don't want to know about the wire-wrapping.

"Suicide Squad" B-Roll Footage Reveals Harley Quinn's Classic Jester Costume
Film, Comic Books
Manga | Akira Himekawa, the two-woman team behind the Legend of Zelda manga, hinted on their Facebook page last week that Viz would license the English-language version of their new series, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Viz refused to confirm the license, but given that they published the earlier Legend of Zelda manga (which they are planning to reissue as two-in-one omnibus editions), and the Japanese publisher of the series, Shogakukan, is one of Viz's parent companies, it would be odd if they didn't get the license. [Anime News Network]
Akira Himekawa, the two-woman team behind the Legend of Zelda manga, have debuted new art from chapters 5 and 6 of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess.
The new series has been running on the digital manga app Manga One, and is only available in Japan at the moment. Writing in English, the creators were coy about any possible overseas licenses for the collected editions:
Manga | Akira Himekawa, the two-woman team that drew the Legend of Zelda manga, has announced a new project: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, based on the 2006 game of the same name. The manga will be published on Shogakukan's MangaOne app, which is not the same as the Manga One app available in English. Viz Media published Akira Himekawa's previous Zelda manga, which ran from 1998 to 2008. [Anime News Network]
The creative team of Akira Himekawa has announced a return to The Legend of Zelda manga series following a seven-year absence.
"2015, after 7 years … The Legend of Zelda manga series returns! Please support it!" the duo wrote on their website, as translated by Anime News Network. "Which version of me can you meet this time? Look forward to finding out!!" They also posted a new piece of art, below.
Akira Himekawa produced serialized adaptations of The Legend of Zelda video games, from 1999's Ocarina of Time to 2009's Phantom Hourglass. They returned to Hyrule in 2011 with a stand-alone prequel to Skyward Sword.
Cosplay | The Christian Science Monitor looks at how cosplay is spilling out of comics and sci-fi/fantasy conventions and into "daily life," such as movie theaters, pubs and public squares: "The spread of cosplay owes a lot to the Internet. Social media sites build buzz around the next big cosplay event. Tumblr and Instagram allow strangers to pass around photos of past work and offer words of encouragement from afar. YouTube videos reveal how to craft foam core into realistic-looking armor and braid hair like an elf." [The Christian Science Monitor]
Publishing | Sales of comics, graphic novels and digital comics totaled $750 million in 2012, making that year the best of the millennium so far for the comics business, according to the retail news and analysis site ICv2. Total print sales were estimated at $680 million and digital at $70 million, a hair over 10 percent of print and almost triple the 2011 total of $25 million. The website also breaks down the top properties in eight graphic novel categories (superheroes, genre, manga, etc.), based on interviews with retailers, distributors and manufacturers. Interestingly, Hawkeye is nestled at No. 7 on the list of Top 10 superhero properties, between Iron Man and Spider-Man. [ICv2]
Publishing | Torsten Adair takes a look at IDW Publishing's financials, and they're looking pretty good. [The Beat]
Retailing | Saying that video games, texting and digital comics have killed interest in collectibles, 80-year-old Joseph Liesner is closing his Sunnyside, Queens, store Comic Book Heaven after nearly three decades. "The store's not making any money," he says, "and, besides, I'm as old as Methuselah." The store will remain open for another two months, with Liesner using the time to search for a much younger girlfriend via a sign in the window. [Sunnyside Post]

The University of Nashville was an educational institution that existed as a distinct entity from 1826 until 1909. During its history, it operated at various times a medical school, a four-year military college, a literary arts (liberal arts) college, and a boys preparatory school. Educational institutions in operation today that can trace their roots to the University of Nashville include:
- Montgomery Bell Academy, an all-male preparatory school
- The Vanderbilt University Medical School
- Peabody College at Vanderbilt University
- The University School of Nashville, a co-educational preparatory school
The predecessor to the University of Nashville, Davidson Academy, was founded as a preparatory school for boys in Nashville, Tennessee in 1785.[1] In 1802 this institution moved to a building in downtown Nashville. The facility, named Cumberland Hall, was located at 300 Peabody St., on the corner of what is now Peabody St. and Third Avenue. The building no longer stands, but a Tennessee State Historical Marker was erected on the site. In 1806, Davidson Academy changed its name to Cumberland College.[1] United States President Andrew Jackson served on the board of trustees for many years during this time. When Reverend Philip Lindsley (1786-1855) was named the chancellor of Cumberland College in 1824, he announced plans to create a grand university.
In 1826, the Tennessee State Legislature changed the charter of Cumberland College to the University of Nashville.[1][2] In 1827, future Confederate General Gideon Pillow was part of a graduating class of twelve. Under Reverend Phillip Lindsley, the University of Nashville provided educational instruction to young men. The quality of the school's instruction caused the city of Nashville to be referred to as the Athens of the South during this period; because of the city's high quality universities and its Parthenon replica, the city continues to be identified by that nickname. Though by today's standards, the University of Nashville was more of a preparatory school than a college, it was considered one of the leading universities of the day. By 1838, the University of Nashville had 188 students.
In 1850, all parts of the college level instruction were shut down, a consequence of a cholera epidemic in the city and the demolition of its campus building, Cumberland Hall. That same year, however, the University of Nashville opened a medical college. Though the regular college program did not operate for a four-year period from the fall of 1850 to the fall of 1854, the medical department of the university flourished. It grew from 150 students to 9000 students very quickly.
Merger with Western Military Institute[edit]
In 1853, a new building was constructed at 724 Second Avenue in Nashville, and in 1854, the literary college re-opened. That year did not see great financial success. In 1855, Lindsley's son and successor John Berrien Lindsley merged the Western Military Institute and the University of Nashville, the former becoming that institution's complete collegiate program.
Modeled on the Virginia Military Institute, the Western Military Institute had about 150 students and seven professors at the time. It moved its entire operation from Georgetown, Kentucky, where it had operated since its founding in 1847, to Nashville. Students undertook a military curriculum, and were required to wear uniforms and conduct themselves in accordance with the rules of military law. A literary arts program was not offered during this period. Bushrod Johnson was a professor at the Western Military Institute from 1851 to 1855. He served as its headmaster when it moved to Nashville in the merger, and continued in that capacity until the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861. He served the Confederacy during the war as a general.
The University of Nashville ran the two educational institutions (the Western Military Institute—a college program—and the University of Nashville Medical Department) in Nashville from 1855 to 1861. It was during this period that Sam Davis attended the Western Military Institute; he was later called the "boy hero of the Confederacy", and hanged by Union forces as a spy in 1863.
Civil War[edit]
The Western Military Institute did not offer instruction from 1862 to 1865. During 1862, the campus building served as a Union hospital for Federal officers.[3] The Medical Department continued to operate, though on a reduced program.
Founding of Montgomery Bell Academy[edit]
Industrialist Montgomery Bell left the University of Nashville $20,000 in his will in 1867, and Lindsley used the proceeds to open up the Montgomery Bell Academy (MBA) that year as a new preparatory school in Nashville. The new school took over the operations of the then defunct Western Military Institute and the University of Nashville preparatory school. Lindsley opened MBA as a private institution while acting as Superintendent of the Nashville Public Schools, a post he had accepted in 1866.
Revival of the Literary Arts College[edit]
Lindsley apparently had some degree of conflict with the trustees, though he continued to have their respect. Discouraged by lagging finances, he considered the University asset rich ( beautiful campus and buildings) and cash poor, he resigned as chancellor in 1870.
Former Confederate General Edmund Kirby Smith was named co-chancellor of the University of Nashville, along with Bushrod Johnson, who returned to the school as a professor in 1866, to replace Lindsley . Under their leadership a new college program in the literary arts (similar to today's liberal arts) was opened. Smith and Johnson were also responsible for the operation of the Montgomery Bell Academy preparatory school for boys. The Medical School of the University of Nashville continued to be operated by the trustees, but was not part of Smith and Johnson's responsibilities.
Separation from MBA[edit]
A financial crisis in 1875 was resolved when the Peabody Fund made a large donation, and the University of Nashville's operations were split into three different entities.
The board of trustees that had operated the University of Nashville since its re-incorporation in 1826 remained intact and were given the operations of the Montgomery Bell Academy preparatory school. The medical school became part of Vanderbilt University. The literary arts collegiate program received the financial donation from the Peabody Fund, established a new board of trustees and was renamed the Peabody Normal School, but many continued to refer to it as the University of Nashville.
End of the University of Nashville[edit]
In an effort to create a major Southern teachers' college, the grounds and buildings of the Peabody Normal School were donated to the George Peabody College for Teachers in 1909. The value of the donation was estimated to be worth about $250,000. In 1915 the George Peabody College for Teachers purchased a new site adjacent to Vanderbilt University, with over 50 acres (20 hectares) of wooded lawn. It constructed new buildings. However, after falling upon hard times in the 1970s, Peabody College amalgamated with the wealthier university in 1979. However, the board of trustees of the formerly affiliated preparatory school, Montgomery Bell Academy, continues to operate under the name of "The Board of Trustees of the University of Nashville."

The cost of food in America remains affordable. According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service, American consumers spend, on average just over ten percent of their disposable income for food. Kentucky Farm Bureau President Mark Haney said that means the average household will have earned enough disposable income, the portion of income available for spending or saving, to pay for its annual food supply in about seven weeks.

LaRue County Beef Cattle Association
curred within the tobacco industry the last several years, causing tobacco production to look much different today than it did 10 years ago. One of these more recent changes is the implementation of mandatory GAP training for growers.
What is GAP Certification? GAP stands for Good Agricultural Practices. Basically, it consists of a training that ensures you are utilizing sound agricultural practices that promote environmental stewardship, enhance worker safety, and maintain production efficiencies all while continuing to produce a high quality tobacco crop.
Comments from presentation

Category: baby name Justice
By Abby Sandel
Taylor Swift's latest video is a who's who of Hollywood stars, up-and-coming singers, and supermodels galore.
"Bad Blood" stars Taylor as a sort of James Bond/Wonder Woman/Katniss Everdeen warrior extraordinaire. After her fellow BFF-spy betrays her, she enrolls in assassin school and assembles a crack team of allies to help her take down her nemesis.
It doesn't sound like inspiration for baby names. But the cast and characters answer to an eclectic bunch of global, daring names. One of these might be just right for your daughter.
By Linda Rosenkrantz
When we hear the phrase 'virtue names' we tend to think first and foremost of the girls—Faith, Hope and Grace, Prudence and Patience. But some parents are beginning to acknowledge that there are good boys as well as girls, and considering some of the old male virtue names that have been off the grid for decades, and would make especially meaningful middles.
Abel — Okay, Abel is more biblical name than virtue, but its modern appeal hinges on its literal meaning of ready, willing, and…. Plus Abel (or Able) is such an excellent all-around virtue.
Constant—Whereas the feminine Constance has long been in common usage, Constant never has in this country—although it is heard in France. Much more usable here is Roman emperor/papal/video-game name Constantine, which has been on the US list sporadically since the nineteenth century.
Earnest/Ernest—Hard to resist starting this off with "the importance of being earnest"—but Earnest, condensed to Ernest can definitely be considered very much a virtue name. This country was at one time filled with Ernies—Ernest was a Top 25 name in the 1890s and stayed in the Top 50 through 1956, while the Earnest version was also a well-used early option, as high as Number 107 in 1907. And Ernest certainly has his share of notable namesakes, most famously Mr. Hemingway.

The eight chicks appeared unsure of their surroundings but
eventually all braved the surf, where only their heads
occasionally bobbing above the waves could be seen. The
release was deemed a success by Ms King, whose staff had been
looking after the chicks since they were brought to the
Penguin Place ''hospital'' after their parents died in a
''mass mortality'' event on the peninsula.
With the chicks attaining 5.5kg after hand feeding at Penguin
Place they were deemed heavy enough to survive in the wild.
''We've done all we can for them. At this point its all up to
them. They'll quickly adapt to fending for themselves.''
Staff would check the beach regularly to see if any returned
but most were expected to remain at sea and not return until
next summer.
Yellow-eyed Penguin Trust general manager Sue Murray said she
had ''all her fingers and toes crossed'' that the penguins
It was doubly important they survived given the loss of about
60 adults from the peninsula this season, the cause of which
was still unknown.
Penguin Place still had 50 adults and chicks in its hospital,
including three snares and a rockhopper. Ten more yellow-eyed
penguins would be released next week.

Welcome to Color Monday! This is the day we devote to showing you that by simply changing the color–you can change the tone and style of your wedding stationery. That said, personalizing a simple design like our Harvest of Love Wedding Invitation in four different color combinations really illustrates this point.
Navy and Yellow
The navy lends a traditional feel while the yellow keeps it down to earth and happy. It's fun, preppy and perfect for a summer or fall wedding.
Red, Black & White
We know that black and white is formal. But adding red in a saturated way like shown here–commands attention and simply roars with confidence.
Monochromatic Purples
Purple is a romantic and regal color and using three of its beautiful hues takes us on a sweet, magical-mystery tour.
Lime and Butter
Talk about fresh!! Here is a color that is bursting with freshness and exuberance.
Soft Coral
Coral is such a hot color and truly set apart when paired with black and peach. Warm and inviting–yet with just enough formality.
Fall's Finest Oranges
Love the air of romance that surrounds the traditional colors of a fall wedding.
It is truly amazing what color can do for your wedding invitations, so don't be afraid to experiment and try things out! You might just love it. Can you believe that ALL of these designs came from the same template!? So powerful!

SAN FRANCISCO -- The music industry must catalog the copyright songs it wants removed from Napster Inc., a federal judge said in a ruling posted Tuesday, giving the highly popular file-swapping service three business days to block free sharing of that music.
The order, dated Monday, effectively gave the recording industry control over the immediate fate of the Internet-based clearinghouse that turned music distribution on its head and cultivated a following of millions.
Napster is fighting to stay online and retain its popularity while promising to shift over to a subscription-based service. For that, it depends on the cooperation of the very music labels that sued the company to stop song swapping.
Napster, which has struggled with little success in the past few days to screen out some songs already identified by record labels, had no immediate comment on the ruling by U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel.
In issuing an injunction she reworked on the order of an appeals court, Patel said the record companies must notify Napster of the title of the song, the name of the artist and the name of the Napster file containing the infringing material. But other parties also should take ''reasonable measures'' to identify the copyright- infringing music, she said.
Patel acknowledged that it might be difficult to identify all variations of a copyright song, given that Napster users could use code words or shorthand to identify different pieces of music. ''This difficulty, however, does not relieve Napster of its duty,'' she wrote.
The judge said she would hear any disputes arising from her decision and appoint an independent technical expert if necessary.
Patel's ruling does not mean Redwood City-based Napster has to shut down or turn itself off, stressed Eric Scheirer, an analyst with Forrester Research.
''What it does is give the record labels a great deal of power over exactly what songs are going to show up on Napster, how long they're going to be there, and how usable Napster will be for the vast number of consumers that are on there now,'' Scheirer said.
''The record industry has the advantage now of being able to get these songs off Napster any time they choose,'' Scheirer added.'' But if they do it now, consumers will flee to all these other alternative services where they won't be able to control them.''
Texas woman indicted in release of debate tape
WASHINGTON -- A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted a former employee of a media company that handled ads for President Bush's campaign in connection with the release of a Bush debate tape to Vice President Al Gore's campaign.
Juanita Yvette Lozano of Austin, Texas, was charged with mail fraud, false statements to the FBI and perjury. If convicted, she faces 15 years in prison and a $750,000 fine. The indictment was handed up by a federal grand jury in Texas.
Lozano worked for Maverick Media, an Austin company that handled Bush's political ads.
The indictment alleged that Lozano secretly copied more than 120 pages of debate preparation documents and a 60-minute videotape of a debate preparation session with Bush and his advisers and sent it to the Gore campaign under a different name.
She lied to FBI agents investigating the matter and testified falsely before the grand jury, the indictment said.
Doctors say vice president needs close follow-up
WASHINGTON -- It sounds incredible: Dick Cheney, in his second public bout with heart disease in four months, undergoes -- surgery his doctor calls urgent but walks out of the hospital a day later and can return to work this week.
Many Americans would have trouble getting treated quite so fast, but actually a one-night hospital stay and quickly resuming normal activity is now standard after minimally invasive surgery to clear a clogged artery.
Restriction urged on soda, snack sales in schools
WASHINGTON -- School nutrition directors urged the government Tuesday to restrict the sale of soft drinks and snacks in schools, saying kids are filling up on the junk food and skipping cafeteria meals.
''Every day in this country, schools offer a variety of foods for sale that compete directly with federal school meal programs,'' Marilyn Hurt, president of the American School Food Service Association, told the Senate Agriculture Committee.
The group said Congress should give the Agriculture Department authority to regulate what is sold outside cafeterias. USDA has been barred from doing that since a federal appeals court ruling in 1983.
Recent research has linked soft drinks with childhood obesity. An extra soft drink a day gives a child a 60 percent greater chance of becoming obese, according to a U.S. study published last month in a British medical journal, The Lancet.
Soft drink contracts have become a popular source of money for many cash-strapped schools, but in a recent report to Congress, USDA said the sales send mixed messages to students about proper nutrition and discourages them from eating healthy meals.
Virus takes advantage of 'baser instincts'
WASHINGTON -- A destructive computer virus hit at least 30 organizations and one federal agency Tuesday, security experts said.
Like the most recent widespread virus that used the name of tennis star Anna Kournikova, this new program called ''Naked Wife'' takes advantage of users ''baser instincts,'' an antivirus company spokeswoman said.
The virus, which appears with the subject line ''FW: Naked Wife,'' deletes almost all of a computer's vital system files. It also sends itself out to everyone in the user's e-mail address book.
The virus e-mail contains an attachment called ''NakedWife .exe.'' Like most viruses, the recipient's computer is only infected if the receiver runs the attachment, and major antivirus companies have released software that detects and removes it.
Snow piles up and waves flood in New England
RYE, N.H. -- A nor'easter covered parts of New England with near-blizzard conditions Tuesday and hammered coastal communities with high waves, after failing to live up to expectations in much of the mid-Atlantic region.
From New Jersey to Maine, schools were closed for a second day, hundreds of flights were canceled and offices were shuttered.
Vermont's Jay Peak ski resort had 29 inches of new snow by Tuesday, 28 had fallen at Ballston Spa, N.Y., north of Albany, and more than 20 inches of snow piled up at Keene, N.H. But only a few inches fell in Boston and New York City, and Philadelphia got only flurries, sleet and rain.
At least five people were killed in weather-related traffic accidents, four in New York state and one in Connecticut.
At Cranston, R.I., part of the roof of the Rhode Island Lottery Commission collapsed under the weight of ice and 5 inches of snow Tuesday morning, sending workers scrambling from the building. No one was hurt.
Lottery director Gerald Aubin said he and others ran after hearing crackling noises. ''Everyone started to scream,'' Aubin said.
Heavy snow also collapsed the roof of a store in Peabody, Mass., during the night, but no one was inside.
Road crews were out all night in New Hampshire and had a tough fight, said dispatcher Al Rule. ''Some are winning the cause, and some aren't,'' he said. ''You go through with a plow, and 10 minutes later, it's all covered again.''
Some 80,000 homes and business were without power in Massachusetts and 3,000 were blacked out in Connecticut. Scattered outages were reported in New Hampshire, and the Seabrook nuclear power plant was shut down because the storm knocked out power lines that can be used to bring in outside electricity for backup safety systems.

Diabetes Health Center
Diabetes Drugs and Heart Risk
Study: Actos Has Heart Attack-Stroke Benefit, Not Risk continued...
"While this is by no means definitive -- we don't absolutely know the two drugs are different -- there is increasing evidence the two agents produce different effects regarding [heart attack and stroke] complications. If one is thinking about taking one of these drugs, one should take this into account," Solomon tells WebMD.
GSK takes issue with the Lincoff study. The company notes that much of the data comes from a study funded by Actos maker Takeda Pharmaceuticals.
"No clinical head-to-head trial data specifically evaluates cardiovascular risk between Avandia and Actos; however, the head-to-head data that does exist, and the overwhelming majority of comparative observational data, show no significant differences in cardiovascular events," the GSK statement says. "Analyzed studies show no difference in the [heart attack and stroke] effects of Avandia versus other oral antidiabetic medicines, including Actos."
Lincoff says the new analysis offers new information on Actos.
"The previous study showed the reduction in heart attacks in a high-risk group of patients," he says. "This now includes patients at lower risk, without established risk of heart disease, and we saw the same results. There is the same benefit in all subgroups. All of the data points in the same direction. It is much more reassuring that these results are indicative of the real outcomes in patients."
Robert Spanheimer, MD, Takeda's senior medical director for diabetes, agrees that the Lincoff study strengthens the conclusions of the Takeda-funded study of Actos's heart-related effects.
"This information, combined with the [earlier] study, should give patients the confidence that Actos does not increase heart attack-related events or mortality," Spanheimer tells WebMD.
Actos, Avandia: New Drug Class, New Side Effects
Actos and Avandia are the two available members of a class of drugs called thiazolidinediones, TZDs, or PPAR agonists. They're also called glitazones, after the suffix used in the drugs' generic names.
The drugs activate an important chemical-signaling pathway that controls some of the body's most basic functions. That pathway has several signal boxes, called PPAR receptors. Nobody yet knows all of the things that happen when drugs activate PPAR receptors. But two things happen that are good for people with diabetes: The cells of the body become more sensitive to insulin, and blood sugar levels go down.

DuPont deal still up in the air
Published: Friday, April 1, 2005 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 1, 2005 at 12:00 a.m.
The fate of a deal to invest almost $11 million in a closed Transylvania County plant site and create 60 or more manufacturing jobs remained up in air Thursday as parties continued to negotiate, possibly even past a deadline set for that day.
British photographic and printer product maker Ilford is trying to lease 100 acres from DuPont, which opened an X-ray film plant in 1957 on land now in the middle of DuPont State Forest.
Last year Ilford bought $1.5 million of equipment from the land's current owner Agfa in hopes of starting a facility to coat computer paper for inkjet computers.
In a recent deal struck between Agfa and DuPont, the land will revert back to DuPont after Agfa does demolition and clean-up. That means Ilford would lease the land from DuPont.
At issue appears to be a condition by DuPont that it have no future environmental liabilities for pollution on the site.
Years of chemical processes and tightening environmental rules means the owner could be left with considerable liability.
A new Ilford facility, meanwhile, would mean much to the economically strapped county that saw its manufacturing base nearly disintegrate after major plant closings in 2002 and 2003, including the Ecusta Paper mill.
Ilford has said it would invest $10.5 million and employ 60 to 90 people in good-paying manufacturing jobs.
On Thursday, parties in the deal including Ilford, DuPont and state environmental regulators were nearly silent about progress, but some indicators showed the deadline set for that day might be exceeded.
The March 31 deadline, already moved back once at the expense of Ilford, was the day on which Agfa could begin demolishing the buildings Ilford hoped to use.
The continuing talks gave hope to county officials such as Planning and Economic Development Director Mark Burrows.
"The deadline was a drop-deadline," he said Thursday afternoon, but added after further questioning, "All I will say is the discussions are going to continue ... right now that is an encouraging sign."
Greg Smith, DuPont's spokesman for its Corporate Remediation Group which handles the clean-up of old sites, would not comment. Smith has said DuPont's intention is to give the land back to the state after there is no longer any industrial use for it. Some have suggested the land could be added to the state forest.
Ilford Executive Vice President John Lenhart, meanwhile, offered a brief statement.
"The only thing I really have to report today is discussions continue," he said.
Asked if he would have anything else to say later, Lenhart said he would have no different comment, giving rise to the possibility that discussions could run past the deadline.
Agfa employees who have stopped demolition work on the site waited Thursday for word from higher-ups on whether to continue, but by the end of the day said none came.
County officials have looked to the highest power in the state for help in the deal. Wednesday they called on Gov. Mike Easley to contact DuPont to stress the importance of a new industry.
Economic Development Director Burrows said Thursday he did not know if the governor had contacted the company.
The governor's press secretary did not respond to a query early Thursday evening as to whether Easley would make such a call.
High-ranking state officials including a representative of the governor and state legislators already intervened once on March 14 to push state environmental regulators to work faster with Ilford.
Ilford Vice President Lenhart said Thursday he appreciated all parties' efforts.
"I want to thank generally a lot of people from the N.C. Department of Environment and Natural Resources, from the state, from the county, who have shown a heck of a lot of support," he said.
The plant site in question has seen many reincarnations beginning with it's opening in 1957. In it's heyday it employed 2,233. In 1997 DuPont sold the facility and 2,233 surrounding acres to the company Sterling, which two years later in 1999 sold the plant to Agfa. Agfa closed the plant in 2002, blaming a shift in demand from hard copy X-rays to digital X-rays.

Sn33ky News: 30 minutes of Dragon Age: Inquisition captured off-screen, new combat and story details revealedWritten by: / / 1 Comment
So here's something you don't see everyday (and something we tend not to post everyday)…
While BioWare has certainly made a few details known about the studio's next massive action RPG, Dragon Age: Inquisition, even going so far as to discuss gameplay experiments and story ideas at various events and expo panels, it's very rare for the public to see extended slices of a game that is as far off from release as Inquisition is.
Rarer still is that a company the size of BioWare would let bootleg footage of this gameplay remain in the public domain for too long, but this is the case with a new video that has emerged from the recent DigiExpo in Finland.
What you are able to watch in the video below is definitely not the best quality version of the gameplay, and I personally fully expect BioWare to release something similar (and in proper, full quality) in the near future, but what it does do is give us a good idea of the world, combat and current progress of Dragon Age: Inquisition – it's incredible to watch, even in a pre-alpha state.
Looking forward to Dragon Age: Inquisition? Us too – peer through our current and continued coverage of the game over here for screenshots, more videos and extra details.
(Note: There's still a chance that BioWare will force the removal of the video above, so get it while it's hot!)

Here's one man who's absolutely STOKED to be a granddad.
After learning that they were expecting, Justin Hall and his wife hid a camera in his in-laws home to capture their reaction when they heard the good news.
Hall's mother and father-in-law enter the room to find baby clothes hanging on a wall, centered around a sign that reads "Baby Hall 4-27-14." At first, the in-laws are confused, when the news finally processes, their reaction is priceless.
"Are you pregnant?" the grandmother-to-be asks before yelling in delight. Hall's father-in-law, though, remains more composed, not showing much physical or emotional reaction to the pregnancy news as his wife jumps around in celebration.
However, when his wife leaves the room, Hall's father-in-law jumps in delight, swinging his arms in a flurry of positive emotion.
"I found it funny how he looked around to make sure there wasn't a camera before jumping like a 5-year-old getting a puppy," Hall wrote on YouTube.
The video was originally uploaded to YouTube on September 27, 2013 but was birthed new viral life in recent days online.

Is there any way for me to wrap a span tag around one of the words (either "Share" or "this:") so I could style them independently?
Thanks in advance!

Jim huge shot i would love this place thinking i have been through the (Darlington) myself but as the mind gets more grey i would have to get out the map and check. nice to see you do a few of theses great for sunrise sunset to show the sky. steve
Greetings Steve ;) Not so many years ago, this place would have looked completely different..Just south of this location, on the other river bank, was sited the huge engineering concern of Head-Wrightsons, once a world class company manufacturing chemical plant such as converters, oil crackers and heat exchangers on a massive scale. All that is left are a few scars in the landscape on what was once regarded as the most poisonous land in the country! Now, there are wide open spaces, beautifully landscaped, there are many new office type buildings, a university a stylish new bridge riverside walks and a clean, pollution free river Tees, formerly a free flowing salmon river..Now the water is clean, the salmon are returning to spawn in huge numbers and the North sea is much safer for bathing. Unfortunately, the death of out traditional engineering industries has lead to pockets of unemployment where some families have never worked for nearly thirty years..A lot of good men and women lost their jobs way back and a lack of investment in alternative industries caused a huge problem..Now we are in a depression and those office type buildings (call centres) are laying off staff, mainly women..There's not a lot of work for men..unless they are interested in fast food outlets, pubs, DIY hyper markets and other retail outlets. Industry as I knew it is dead!
All the best Steve, it was great to hear from you again!
So wonderful place and landscape, specially like the wonderfiul clouds, it's great. L&F, cjlin
Beautiful shot indeed!
Well done and Like
Beautiful panoramic view. Bright sky. Greetings from France

well, no one has commented on it ... but, i'd like to keep this thread alive ... can anyone think of a 'viral online campaign' that might help them stay in the running for the award?
it would be good for WordPress to have one of their blogs recognized for such an award - Best Innovation ... although the award is for the application that it is implemented for, it does speak well of WordPress for ease of use. Especially since they are using - essentially - an out of the box install and style.
just a thought.
