It opened its doors in 1961 at 147 Bleecker Street under the auspices of owner Fred Weintraub. The club changed its name to The Other End during the 1970s. However eventually after a few years the owners changed the club's name back to the more recognizable Bitter End. History An earlier club, "The Cock and Bull" operated on the same premises with the same format, in the late 1950s. The poet/comedian Hugh Romney (who later became known as Wavy Gravy) read there. During the early 1960s the club hosted Folk music "hootenanies" every Tuesday night, featuring many performers who have since become legendary. During its heyday the Bitter End showcased a wide range of talented and legendary musicians, comedians, and theatrical performers.[1] In 1968 Paul Colby, who began his career as a song plugger for Benny Goodman's publishing company, and went on to work for Frank Sinatra, Duke Ellington, and Guy Lombardo, became the manager and booking agent at The Bitter End, and in 1974 he purchased it.[2][3] In the mid 1970s, the club became known as the birthplace of Bob Dylans Rolling Thunder Revue, which featured such names as Joni Mitchell, Roger McGuinn, Ramblin' Jack Elliot, Joan Baez, T-Bone Burnett, Ronee Blakely, Mick Ronson, and many other guest stars. The City of New York bestowed landmark status to the night club on July 23, 1992.

NEW YORK---Year-old BackBeat Productions hopes to break new ground in the video medium with it's first project, "The Jon Hammond Show." Currently airing on Manhattan Cable's Channel 3 and San Francisco's public access Channel 25, the program is a half hour of computer generated graphics synchronized with original jazz-fusion and rock music. Hammond's voice and his tapping boot are the only human intrusions during the show.
"It's an alternative to the conceptual and concert footage videos. We're delivering an art form." says the show's host, BackBeat's co-founder Jon Hammond. The company also functions as a label, and Hammond says the broadcast will be a vehicle to expose artists on the BackBeat roster.
Hammond say's he's close to securing slots on public access channels in New Orleans, Baltimore, Chicago, Los Angeles and Boston and plans to recoup investements by syndicating the show to national networks if and when it gains an audience.
His partner in the venture is former Crusaders guitarist Barry Finnerty, who wrote the music for the first program. All songs on the "Jon Hammond Show" feature BackBeat's studio band of Finnerty, keyboardist Hammond, drummer Steve Ferrone and saxophonist Todd Anderson.

To test it, I actually put two shirts and one suit on to the Freefold, left it in my bag overnight for an early morning departure, had the bag sent to the wrong destination and eventually got it back 2 days later. All said and done, just shy of three days folded into a suitcase…
The suit was pristine and the shirts only needed a few minutes hanging whilst I took a hot shower to smooth out a few very minor wrinkles that were annoying only to me and would have likely gone unnoticed to most. A very impressive product!"
– Conrad
I was getting fed up of trying to juggle luggage and a suit carrier while commuting, and now I can put my uniform inside my luggage and it comes out ready to wear, no creases.
For me that fact that the Freefold is light and simple to use makes all the difference. Most importantly, it just works, and very well too! I couldn't recommend it highly enough.
– Jonathon Everest
I stumbled across FreeFold and decided to buy the product after frustrations with garment bags left me feeling less than confident traveling with formal attire. I first used the FreeFold while I was traveling by train to Boston. I arrived shortly before an event, took out my suit from my FreeFold and was elated to see that I was had a wrinkle free suit!
I love this product so much, I ordered two more. I am going to keep one in the trunk of my car (the longest that I have left a suit folded up was FOUR days and the suit and trousers were still wrinkle free), and I will keep the third in my desk at work. When you have a hectic schedule, you need to be able to adapt between formal and informal settings on the fly.
FreeFold gave me the flexibility that I needed to make it through my day. Thanks for an awesome product."
– James
The product is also long-lasting. I purchased mine 2 years ago and, according to my bike log, I have used it for over 500 trips and it still works well. The Dry Bag did begin to lose its waterproof lining after all that time due to repeated use, but Freefold's customer service was quick to help me find a new replacement.
Given the reasonable price, satisfactory results, and long-lasting performance, I highly recommend Freefold to anyone who's considering giving it a try. This product has yet to disappoint me!"

Jammys Tapers Section
Tapers are certainly welcome at tomorrow night's Jammys but with general admission tickets sold out, it is important to recognize that as with past few years, space will be limited. The designated taping section will be located at the rear of the floor on a first come, first served basis. It is expected that this section will accommodate approximately 30 individuals so anyone who wishes to tape likely needs to be inside soon after doors are at 7 with the show slated to begin at 8. Although g.a. seats are sold out reserved seats are still on-sale (and yes, tickets may be purchased without any service charge at the Madison Square Garden box office).

You said about the FM switch off:<< Start < Previous 1 2 3 4 Next > End >>
Thanks for starting this campaign. Before I discovered it I thought I was the only one that cared about FM – obviously not!
I was prompted to look on the internet for any interest, following the much publicised recent Archers episode that was only broadcast on the digital Radio 4 Extra station depriving, according to Roger Bolton's BBC Feedback program, two thirds of Archers listeners. I am not an avid Archers fan, but for the first time in over fifty years of radio listening wrote to the Feedback program to express my concern regarding the principle of withholding the 'best' bits of radio from FM listeners – this could only have been an attempt to try to force people to move to digital.
I again e-mailed the Feedback program the following week after it highlighted many listeners concerns about digital radio in general in its Friday (19th July 2013) episode and for what its worth have copied it below:
Dear Feedback,
I listened with great interest to contributors to your latest program on the subject Digital Radio and in particular to the Roger Bolton / Ford Ennals interview.
None of the answers that Mr. Ennals gave to Roger Bolton's questions however were either convincing or satisfactory – indeed his answers were only what I would have expected from a Consumer Marketing person who had landed the job of palming off digital radio to the British listening public.
You will have gathered by now that I am not a Digital radio fan…
This is not because I am against digital technology - on the contrary, digital photography for instance is fantastic and who would want to go back to using VHS or Betamax Video Recorders, but digital radio, as it currently stands in the UK, is different – i.e. it is inferior to the FM system.
There are many issues with digital radio in the UK, the main two being coverage and audio quality.
The coverage problem could theoretically be fixed by spending, or should I say squandering, millions of pounds of licence payers money (which I for one would strongly object to), but even if 100% coverage were to be achieved, the audio quality would still be inferior to that of the FM system.
So why bother? We have in the UK a perfectly good FM radio broadcasting system that covers over 98% of the Nation, has excellent and consistent audio quality (unlike digital radio which can be anything from mediocre to poor depending on the bit rate used at any given time), offers four National Stations, dozens and dozens of local BBC and Commercial stations from the Orkneys to Lands End and a hundred or more Community stations. One of the selling points of Digital is that it offers more choice of listening, but how much choice does anyone need!
In addition to this, FM receivers are significantly cheaper than their digital counterparts, much more user friendly, battery economy of FM portables is VERY significantly better than digital and the BBC time signal is perfectly accurate.
Mr. Ennals knows all this of course, but it is in his interest to keep quiet about it all and to flog digital for all he's worth.
He said he expected that ''in the next two to three years the majority of all listening would be to digital because people are choosing to do that because they like it and prefer it to analogue'' Really? Digital radio has been available in the UK for the best part of two decades now, but the number of people who use it is still only about thirty percent, so what makes him think that people will suddenly switch to digital in the next couple of years even if coverage were to be significantly improved?
It sounded to me like he was whistling in the wind, but what really concerned me were his comments about FM being maintained and becoming the home of ultra local services and community services and when pressed by Roger Bolton about FM listeners losing Radio 4 stated '' at some point, yes, the major National Services will be moving wholly to DAB and to receive them you will need a DAB receiver''
He might as well have finished off the sentence by saying 'whether you like it or not'
I have no objection to digital radio running alongside FM, for those who want it as an extra service, but it should be used for just that (for local and community services etc).
The BBC National services should and must remain available to all licence payers on all platforms.
To try to force people to downgrade to DAB is nothing short of blackmail intended only to line the pockets of a few whilst ignoring the wishes of the majority of the listening public.
Mr. Ennals would do well to remember who funds the BBC and for that matter who is paying part of his salary.
I wonder if in a future program you could get Culture Secretary Ed Vaizey to clarify what will be the future availability of the major BBC National Stations and who will have the last say on the matter?
Michael Riley (Manchester).
I wholeheartedly agree with other contributors to the Save FM Campaign that switching off FM is madness and would deprive millions of listeners from enjoying what has been taken for granted and paid for by them through their licence fees for many decades.

Recently repaired a Roberts r707.It sounds fantastic for a portable radio on bbc radio 4 and bbc radio 3 on FM.I know the batteries will last for at least 6 months using the set for 5 or 6 hours a day. So ,one set built 40yrs ago,energy efficient tuned to one transmitter that covers millions of homes and the signal doesn't degrade when carrying it about..I can not understand in any way the argument for dab and switching of band 2 broadcasting...To mean it is a money making exercise and nothing more!!!!!!!!!!!!

We need FM to stay. DAB is useless around my area. My car, although 6 years old has Sat Nav built in but no DAB. This also controls the A/C and heating. So if they switch off FM I have a perfectly good car which I can't listen to radio in. I guess the CD's will just get more use instead. Why can't the goverment just leave things alone?

FM radio should not be terminated as the transmission we have now and to waste money on an out of date radio system as DAB is very silly very wasteful. There are still numerous places in the west country that can not receive dab. The government have known for over several years that dab was poor and DAB+ was the system that should have been employed. FM radio does not interfere with digital TV, but 4G is going to cost the government highly as many people in areas near TV transmitters will lose their signals or suffer heavy interference. It is time for some common sense, something that politicians lack!

The powers that be must be getting pretty desperate at the very low take up of digital radio sets (fortunately most can receive VHF FM and some still MW). Anyone with a decent pair of ears can tell the difference between the clean full range sound of an FM transmission - that's why Classic FM started on it for very good reason. Even they are carrying the silly pro-digital adverts which are desperately trying to convince us to go out- dumb down- and buy digital. We must convince our government to leave the FM set up alone.

Complete and utter madness to switch to an inferior system . I have two "good quality"systems in my house , but we all prefer the sound quality of FM , and use this instead . Will the government be offering a "buy back scheme" for the millions of pefectly good FM receivers out there . Some of these will be being purchased as i write this !

There still seems to be a lot of confusion surrounding the switchover to DAB and the switching off of the FM national frequencies. Despite building opposition the government seems to be strengthening its resolve to ditch FM by 2015. They have significantly changed the goalposts in recent announcements, on the one hand recommending manufacturers of radios including the ability to receive FM broadcasts, but on the other hand they now say that the measure is 50% listening to "digital" rather than 50% listening to DAB. So in other words they know that DAB will never reach the coverage required, digital radio services can be had by so many other means, internet, sky, Freeview, etc. They still intend to make broadcasts available to FM just not the main stations that we want. They also announced that a decision will be made in 2013 not 2015. Despite more than a decade of investment and industry promotion, digital radio, including DAB, online and digital TV, currently accounts for 29.2% of all radio listening. There is not a chance that there will be the take up required so the government is going to happen no matter what.
Personally I don't know why they just don't keep the FM system as it is and ditch DAB which is an out of date system not able to keep up with the digital services that people will demand and enjoy by accessing services via the internet. I live in an area of Cumbria that they will never extend DAB coverage to. We were the first to get Freeview TV, but no commercial stations. Broadband is either appalling or non-existent, but we do get FM radio…. for now.
I am 57 years old I have enjoyed listening to FM radio for the majority of those years. I have a venerable NAD 4300 tuner in my main hi-fi system which has given excellent service for many years and has many more left in it, as does my 1978 Hacker Consort which I listen to in the bathroom, my Sony tranny that resides in the kitchen, and my Grundig yatchboy in the bedroom (wife permitting). We also have an old radio in the shed and of one in each of our 2 cars. These are irreplaceable and next to useless if the government has its way, which I believe they will despite all opposition and the outrageous cost to consumers. In many rural areas, where it is not commercially worthwhile to provide the necessary infrastructure to enable good access to digital services, the withdrawal of national stations from FM will mean a regression to pre WWII standards.

The digital switch-over is ridiculous. FM is more than fit for purpose. This is just another example of where the excuse of moving forward to 'A Digital Britain' is being used to force the public to spend money on new digital radios, forcing them to dispose of perfectly good FM radios that have been working for years. I wonder what the next thing will be once this is over...

Even though I like internet radio, I still enjoy shortwave radio , direct reception from a foreign country is still a great thrill, Radio Australia stil comes through when condidtions are right. As far back as the 1920's people would listen on shortwave to programs from other countries , concerts from New York were enjoyed in the U.K. sometimes on homemade equipment and with very good audio quality rivaling FM (there was no audio compression/processing or resricted bandwith as in today's medium wave and long wave transmissions). Then came mono FM which was developed further to provide stereo. Now in 2012 over 100 years later after most developements in radio were welcomed as progress, we have the DAB radio system which is without doubt useless. Poor reception with signal drop outs even in a strong signal area , poor audio quality that is so rough it can not be tolerated for long, heavy power drain making it impractical for portable use. The one "advantage" is the greater number of stations available, the only problem is that the extra staions are not wanted, surveys show that listeners are happy with the choice avalable on MW,LW & FM. Only a fool that does not like listening to radio would promote this system. What would Marconi say about it ?

Inferior coverage, inferior sound quality, outdated technology, even DAB+, no logical reason for the public to change. The government (any government) never learns, if it's not broken don't fix it. Later technology isn't always better than what we already have. Do things because they are needed, not just because you can! Or because (in the case of the government) it might bring in a few bob. But I expect it will happen eventually, it's just the government doing what any government does best. . . Cost you money, then waste it!

It's ridiculous. 'Digital' radio counts the internet, meaning we might as well switch radio off altogether rather than switch to dab. Analogue has a better signal , so what's the point of switching!

Simple analysis: Digital television 20% good content 80% dross all spread over multiple channels with poor signal quality. If all the content was placed on 5-7 channels it would remain world class - both BBC and Commercial.
Digital radio appears to be heading the same way as the tv - a celebration of mediocrity on the lead channels and a few gem specialisms hidden on the "xtra's"
This situation almost overrides the energy and waste issues - if we can be dulled enough with multiple channels - thus avoiding any occasional cultural challenge - then the sheer waste of switchover will go unchallenged.
Stay sharp.

Can anyone tell me what the "benefit" of DAB will be to the many millions like me who are very happy with their FM radio, very happy listening to the few stations that we do and have no wish to waste hard-earned cash on both a new transistor radio and a new car radio.
Come on, Ford Ennals. Name one benefit for me. You cannot, can you.

Review The Lookalike :
a different kind of job qualification
Greetings again from the darkness. Familiar faces are everywhere in this crime thriller from husband and wife filmmakers Richard Gray (director) and Michele Davis-Gray (writer). The familiar faces make the most of a story with no shortage of characters or sub-plots, though sometimes the movie tries a bit too hard to be gritty and hard-edged.
Jerry O'Connell plays Joe Mulligan, a former basketball star turned club owner and drug dealer. Joe is dealing drugs to pay off his dead dad's debt to loan shark Luis Guzman, all while keeping his dream of hosting his own cooking show on the Food Network. See, Joe is mostly a nice guy caught up in an ugly world. This world includes his brother Holt (Justin Long) who may not be the straight-laced guy he first appears as, his drug boss Bobby (John Corbett), Bobby's henchman Frank (Steven Bauer), and William Spinks (John Savage) as the powerful guy who demands a set-up in exchange for a big pay day.
The set-up is on track until one of the freakiest fatal accidents strikes Sadie Hill, the object of Spinks' attraction. Desperate for the money, the bumbling drug dummies, decide to find a substitute. Enter Joe's customer and Holt's squeeze as the titular lookalike. Gillian Jacobs (TV's "Community") as Lacey does a nice job making us believe she is just desperate enough to agree to the job. Yes, desperation is a trait shared by most every character in the movie even the detective played by the always reliable Gena Gershon. The final character of note is Mila (Scottie Thompson), who plays the "girl walks into a bar" role and proceeds to muddy the water in this big plan. Both Ms. Jacobs and Ms. Thompson flash the ability necessary for more ambitious projects.
Slow-motion and cheesy music negatively impact some of the dramatic moments and the sex scenes especially an otherwise effective cross-cut between O'Connell and Long as they seduce Thompson and Jacobs, respectively. Still, for a rainy day mindless crime thriller that won't require much investment, this one is satisfactory and offers a chance to catch up with some of our most familiar character actors.

Nokia Seeking BlackBerry Sales Ban in UK, USA and Canada
Published on: 28th Nov 2012
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
Nokia is seeking bans on sales of BlackBerry smartphones in the USA, UK and Canada following a dispute between the two companies over a Wi Fi patent.
If the courts were to uphold Nokia's complaint, it would affect the entire BlackBerry product range.
Nokia took action two months after an arbitration ruling by the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce in Sweden found that Research in Motion had made use of Wi-Fi technology based on a Nokia patent which was not included in other patent licensing agreements.
Nokia is also pursuing the company in Germany over an unrelated dispute covering antenna and email technologies.
Research in Motion shares dropped sharply when Nokia confirmed it had launched legal action against the company.

Astronauts to Add Segment to Station During Spacewalk
STS-116 Mission Specialists Robert Curbeam and Christer Fuglesang will go spacewalking today. The primary objective of the spacewalk is to install a new piece to the space station's girder-like truss. The two-ton piece will be the fifth truss segment added to the port side of the station and is called the P5 spacer.
From inside the space station Mission Specialist Joan Higginbotham will use the station's robotic arm to move the new segment with only inches of clearance into its installation position. The spacewalkers will assist by providing two extra pairs of eyes as the exacting operation is carried out.
First Scandinavian ARISS QSO to be on IRLP and EchoLink
Students from the Thunmanskolan School, Knivsta, Sweden are scheduled to take part in an ARISS contact with ESA Astronaut and STS-116 Mission Specialist Christel Fuglesang SA0AFS/KE5CGR. The contact is expected to be conducted in Swedish. This will be the Scandinavia's first ARISS school event and is planned to take place on Sunday, December 17, 2006 at 18:19 UTC. The ground station supporting this telebridge event will be VK4KHZ located in South Australia.

Discovery Docks With Station
After two days of orbital pursuit, Space Shuttle Discovery and the STS-116 crew reached the International Space Station. The two spacecraft linked up at 5:12 p.m. EST as they flew over southeast Asia.
The arrival of Discovery sets the stage for the continuation of station construction and a week of joint operations. Inside Discovery's payload bay is the P5 integrated truss structure. The STS-116 crew will conduct three spacewalks to install the P5 and to reconfigure and redistribute power generated by the station. The first spacewalk is scheduled to kick off at 3:42 p.m. Tuesday.

Discovery Close to Catching Space Station
The two-day chase will come to a close today when Space Shuttle Discovery docks with the International Space Station. The orbital linkup is scheduled to take place at 5:05 p.m. EST.
The STS-116 crew will begin rendezvous operations around 11:37 a.m. today. Commander Mark Polansky will guide Discovery through a back-flip maneuver about an hour before docking to allow the station's Expedition 14 crew to take pictures of Discovery's heat shield.

ISS amateur radio status (Dec 2006)
The Phase I amateur radio gear in the FGB appears to have developed an intermittent audio issue that will require some crew time to be scheduled in order to try and determine the cause of the problem. This system has been used primarily for school contacts since the packet system associated with that radio began exhibiting problems during Expedition 6.
The Phase II system in the ISS service module has not been operating properly since August 2006 when the default settings for the radio changed. The radio transmits and receives fine and continues to be used for school contacts but until the radio is reprogrammed, only intermittent operations will be possible. A computer designated for amateur radio operations that will allow reprogramming of the radio is planned to arrive on the next Progress vehicle in 2007. Until the radio is reprogrammed, it is unlikely that any of the automatic modes (Packet and APRS, SSTV or the Crossband Repeater) will be operating or will only operate for brief periods of time.

No main essay from me this week, but no fear, Comics Should Be Good contributor and one half of the Splash Page duo, Chad Nevett, has dropped by to discuss Ed Brubaker and Warren Pleece's Deadenders, which recently was collected into one complete trade paper back (if you're interested). And, like trailers before the feature, Patrick Smith and I have a few capsule reviews to entice your comic book concerns. Enjoy what you can. Do what you enjoy.

Saga #3 | Brian K. Vaughan, Fiona Staples | Image
I feel this highly toted series finally came together this issue. I guess I can now join the rest and sing the praise, although, while enjoyable, I'm not going to crown this thing a savior of comics. It's good, but I'm also not infected by the BKV bug most other readers suffer from. The internet's ablaze for this thing. Me, I'll add what I can. That's my disclaimer, reader. In case you need one.
Saga #3 takes the world building of the previous two issues and lets it cool off. We get away from the idea plugs to actually figure out the cast and realize that this series' strength will lie there rather than the flash and flare I was becoming accustomed to – and a flash and flare I wasn't exactly sucked in by. It's nice to know Vaughan has the cast in order, although I'm sure at some point the internet will describe this book as being "man, it's about the people ... not space, or aliens, or whatever ... it's about people," and I'll find myself annoyed by the quick fall back line of approval to paint a picture of its depth.
Saga has a fine cast of characters, though, with a dynamic which seems comfortable and lively, and I'd even go as far as to say there's an actual heart in the middle of them all. This pairs well with the book's focus on the baby girl and her eventual life as an adult, adding to the book's title and suggesting this "saga" is more a saga of the characters than some greater scheme or environment. The addition of the "babysitter" Isabel really brought a lot of this together as her presence and now connection to the child bring the baby more into the program rather than leave her as a set piece.
And Fiona Staples kicked my ass this issue. The page above ... you can hear that wall crack.

Content #2 | GB Tran | Self-published | 2006
Content acts as an exercise for GB Tran. It's some sort of practice run for his later work in Vietnamerica, published in 2011. The basic ideas lie within, yet they're not exactly built with the necessary mechanics. Content is more a cluster of things, beading with a Vietnamese background, family issues and multiple characters strung together through loose ties. The whole comic's a mixed bag, and I get the feeling the title Content bluntly describes what this thing is. It's pure content. Whatever it takes to fill this book. That said, I found a few moments worth a read, including a great sequence involving a anamorphic cell phone running around a cell phone inhabited world and sleeping with cell phone prostitute. It's drawn quite well with GB Tran using a hint of grey tone, resembling some of Ryan Kelly's work. Ultimately, though, this thing sort of leaves you hungry. It teases you with a few interesting thoughts, yet it never exactly fulfills on any of them. And the story sort of isn't there, although that could be intentional if you consider my theory on the title. Read it and make up your own mind. You could spend money on something worse.

Conan the Barbarian #4 | Brian Wood, James Harren | Dark Horse
As a guy who's a fan of Conan the Barbarian, which I'm sure is a surprise to no one, I've been enjoying the new ongoing very much. I don't think it's been great by any stretch, but it has been very solid, and I think the creative team has offered an interesting take on the character, especially in terms of Becky Cloonan's visuals. With issue four, however, the art duties were passed to James Harren, whose inclusion was notable for his recent work on B.P.R.D.
Now, issue four isn't a great issue of Conan the Barbarian. It's been scientifically proven that a great issue of Conan the Barbarian requires a minimum of thirty seven murders and at least three wenches bedded, but it is a good issue of Conan. At least in terms of character. When this book was originally announced, writer Brian Wood made a point at how this story would feature a younger Conan less sure of himself and, in many ways, untested, and although the previous arc showed a Conan with a youthful arrogance, he was still very much the marauding murder machine that readers were familiar with.
With this arc we're given a scenario where we see Conan deal with an emotion that almost feels alien when it comes from him: fear. This is where the true genius of Harren comes into play because although he can most definitely display action, he is also capable of conveying complex emotions through his characters' facial expressions. In the beginning of the issue, he shows us the wariness Conan feels after a good days work on the sea but also the subtle joys it brings to him. Later when Conan has to deal with abuse, imprisonment and his own dark thoughts, Harren shows us how deep his despair runs and how quickly he will latch onto a small glimmer of hope that will allow him a chance to escape.
- - - - 1000 or so words on Deadenders, youth, nostalgia, and growing up. Only 40 of them are worthwhile.
Deadenders | Ed Brubaker, Warren Pleece | Vertigo
Reading Deadenders for the first time, it's hard not to see it as the precursor to Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips' Criminal: The Last of the Innocent. The latter is more a thematic sequel to the former; a looking back at the ideas that held Deadenders together from an older perspective, one tinged with nostalgia. Brubaker a decade on from his 2001/2002 Vertigo series, writing from a different place, but examining very much the same subject matter, right down to the Archie parallels/allusions/direct references.
The larger plot concerns of Deadenders never seem to matter, even when they drive the book. The sci-fi future, the mod trappings, the visions the lead has, they all come off like things that were necessary to make the series go, but not essential to what Brubaker was writing about, if that makes any sense. It's very hard to get a comic just about poor teenagers and their day-to-day troubles published if that's all it's about. Throw in a dystopian futuristic hook, some weird visions, and some scooters that look cool when drawn by Warren Pleece, and, well, you get something that gets published (though, only for 16 issues and a short story).
As the series goes on, the plot drives things more and more, but feels less and less like it actually matters. The specific cause of the 'Cataclysm' that left the world shattered under a cloudy haze isn't as important as it was caused by an adult. Beezer, the aforementioned lead and vision-haver, and Anna, another vision-haver, were born at the moment of the Cataclysm and all that matters is that the adults gave them a broken, shitty world and they have to make it right again. It's a fairly simple metaphor for being young and the problems of becoming old enough to learn that everyone who came before you was stupid and short-sighted and fucked up and ruined everything forever. The future is not fun and full of wonder: it's a world of broken promises and endless disappointment.
What's left are the intricacies of personal relationships, which is where Brubaker seems to find of the meat of the series. The allusions to Archie, near the end of the series and at the tail of issue four, highlight these elements of the series. Beezer is Archie; his on-and-off girlfriend at the beginning of the series, Sophie, is Veronica; his girlfriend at the end of the series, Anna, is Betty; his best friend, Jasper, is Jughead (though another character fills that role after Jasper dies); his friend/rival, Hal, is Reggie. It's all basic stuff and that's the reason why Archie has continued so long. The types are easy to fill, easy to relate to, and offer instant 'drama.' It's what being stupid teenagers is all about it seems sometimes.
A lot of the series is devoted to the small, 'stupid' problems of the gang. Entire issues are character pieces, like the one where Danica, Jasper's girlfriend at the beginning of the series, hooks up with Beezer as they both try to move past the loss of Jasper and other stuff going on. It's a brief interlude that has a cover featuring Danica walking towards the reader, tear running down her cheek, thinking about her secret affair in a pretty good romance comic rip-off. Time and time again, Brubaker backs away from the ongoing plot concerns of the title to spend time with these characters and their problems, because that's what the series is really about.
It isn't exactly nostalgia – at least, not like the nostalgia of The Last of the Innocent – because it isn't looking back. It's more in the moment. There are times when nostalgia plays a factor. In the second story arc, where we're told the events through a novella written by Sophie at some point in the future. We only learn this at the end of the arc and, that the narration we see focuses on her future husband, it produces an interesting effect. He reads it and see what his wife thought of him back then, while we aren't necessarily certain if everything we've been told is accurate. It plays around with the conventions of a third-person narrator in comics and retroactively introduces the possibility of an unreliable narrator. And, we have to consider what effect nostalgia on Sophie's part plays. Does she combat it by portraying her husband a little stranger than he was? Is she more sympathetic to Beezer because he was her first love?
The end of the series touches upon the concept of nostalgia and growing up to an even greater degree. When Beezer and Anna undo the effects of the Cataclysm, they basically disappear. The world goes on without them, gradually getting better. But, we see the characters in something that more resembles the 'real world' where the Cataclysm never happened. Beezer is Noah and Anna is Rachel. They grew up together and are 'that couple' that seems destined to be together. But, there's a wedge between them when Noah has what seems to be a seizure and 'remembers' his life as Beezer. The last eight pages of the series are about the two of them, Noah struggling to hold onto a 'dream' that feels real, Rachel struggling with something she doesn't quite understand and is causing Noah pain. At first, she's jealous and, then, she's angry because of the effect is has on Noah.
It's the fight between who you were and who you become. While neither was really Beezer or Anna, Noah and Rachel are the 'adult' versions of those people. When you grow up, you become someone different. You move on, you move away, you get new interests, you meet new people, you get crappy jobs... Some people struggle with that fact and cling to who they were and it tortures them. They try to be that person they were and it causes pain and sadness. Some people accept it and move on, not really noticing the change and feel no pain or regret. The final pages of the series offer a compromise: recognizing the changes and accept them, able to look back and remember who you were and not be pained, not be tortured. The two, in their forties, come across a stash of singles and a record player, and Noah plays them and it's not a negative experience anymore. It's something positive and affirming. Growing up and becoming someone else isn't so bad after all, maybe?

Later, gator.

Breast cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths among women. Early detection of this disease through self-examinations and mammograms can help promote a positive outcome. In order to help with early detection, UPMC Bedford now offers digital mammography with breast tomosynthesis.
This innovative service is an imaging procedure that uses low-energy x-rays to create a 3D image of the breasts. Conventional mammography takes pictures of the breast from two angles — up and down, and left and right — but tomosynthesis takes multiple pictures from several angles. This enables the health care professional to see a clear, 3D image of the breast tissue. Some of the other benefits of using this new technology are:
UPMC Bedford's digital mammography unit with breast tomosynthesis is the latest, state-of-the-art technology in breast imaging, and is the only unit of its kind between Pittsburgh and Harrisburg.
If you are a woman who is a breast cancer survivor, are at high risk for breast cancer, have a family history of breast cancer, or have had several false-positive mammograms, talk to your primary care physician (PCP) to see if this new service is right for you.
If you do not have a PCP, you can visit UPMC.com/FindADoctor to locate one near you.

|2010 PSAA: Oscar Vergara
Martin Morganstein
Mary K. Keough
Deborah F. Stanley
Oscar Vergara knows one mentor can save a life.
At 15, when his mother died, he dropped out of high school, quit his soccer team, and began spending late nights on Colombia's street corners.
Determined not to grieve, he donned a pair of jeans and raised his shirt's collar to look more macho. He didn't question his new look until his soccer coach asked him a question he already knew the answer to: 'Oscar, do you think your mother would be proud?'
He knew the answer was "no" and he knew he had to change.
"He made me realize I was heading the wrong way. He made me realize if I kept going that way I was going to end up in a horrible situation," Vergara said. "Those words that he said to me saved my life."
With his coach's guidance, Vergara moved to the United States at 17 where he enrolled in Syracuse's Bishop Ludden High School. Almost 40 years later he's followed in his coach's footsteps to help young people — He's youth services director of P.E.A.C.E. Inc's Big Brothers Big Sisters of Onondaga and Oswego Counties.
For his work as an advocate for young people, Vergara will receive a Post-Standard Achievement Award. He's one of eight local people who are being honored for their commitment to improving lives in Central New York.
He hopes his receiving the award will inspire others to help mentor children.
"When people tend to complain about our youth — they get into trouble, they drop out of school – my question to them is what have you done to help out with the situation?" Vergara said.
As a Big Brother, Vergara has spent roughly 25 years helping to answer his question. Since becoming director of Big Brothers Big Sisters, he's advocated for more volunteers, helped match more than 400 children to mentors and cut the program's waiting list by half.
He also works with his own "littles" in the program. So far he's mentored nine boys and doesn't plan to stop anytime soon.
"This is the kind of thing I would do for free; there really isn't anything more gratifying than seeing the eyes of a little brother or little sister matched up to their 'big' for the first time," Vergara said.
His mentoring doesn't stop in Syracuse either. Vergara also works on Projecto Sonrisas (Project Smiles), a program that gathers Christmas presents for Colombian girls in homes for orphans.
The program started in 2003 after Vergara visited Colombia and met an eight-year-old girl who could not afford to buy herself a bracelet. It was Christmas day and like many girls in the homes for orphans, she only received 2,000 pesos – about 1 dollar – for the holiday.
Although he purchased gifts for the girls and her housemates, he knew his giving wouldn't stop there. After returning from his trip, his daughters encouraged him to start Projecto Sonrisas.
Since then, he's returned each year with gifts for girls in Colombia's orphan homes. The program currently has 430 girls from five different homes. To bring at least a box of gifts for each girl, Vergara spends almost a year collecting donated items that he later gift-wraps for the holidays.
Through his gift-giving, he's become a mentor to girls like Ana Mariley whose high school graduation he plans to attend next December. At 17, Mariley will be the first from her home to graduate high school on time.
While Vergara loves mentoring, his only regret is feeling as if he's never done enough.
"Somebody once said it's like I'm putting a band-aid over a cut, but the wound's still there," Vergara said. "It's a heavy thing sometimes hugging the kids and they're asking 'don't leave, please stay.'¤"
Yet, whether in Colombia or Syracuse, he finds solace in knowing he helped a child, even in the smallest way.
Jim Sisson, treasurer for P.E.A.C.E. Inc's Big Brothers Big Sisters, said what makes Vergara special is that he's a very passionate mentor.
"He's always good at bringing a smile out on kids faces," he said. "He truly acts like a big brother."
In the upcoming years, Vergara aims to take his mentoring a step further.
He hopes to create a program under Projecto Sonrisas where at least one girl can travel from Colombia to the United States for a year of schooling. He also plans to gain enough volunteers for Big Brothers Big Sisters to eliminate the waiting list for mentors.
Having once been a "little" himself, he said mentoring is a way of honoring his first mentor: his soccer coach.
"It was done for me – we have a saying in Spanish 'today I do for you, tomorrow you do for me,'¤" Vergara said. In giving back, he hopes his work will not only help his "littles" but set an example for his four daughters.
"In human services you don't make a lot of money but if I were to die tomorrow I'd like to think they'd follow in my footsteps and help those in need without looking at who they're doing the favor for," Vergara said. "The key is to not expect anything in return, it'll all come later on."

What Obama Could Learn From America's Greatest Unknown Nuclear Strategist
Get out of the hothouse from time to time.
The phone call came this morning: My old professor, William Weed Kaufmann, who had been ailing for some time, died a few hours earlier, in his sleep, at the age of 90.
Kaufmann was one of those shadowy figures of the Cold War era, unknown to the public but deeply influential in the strange subculture of military planning and nuclear strategy.
From 1961 to 1981, he spent two days a week teaching graduate students at MIT's political science department; the other three days he served as special assistant to every secretary of defense from John F. Kennedy's to Jimmy Carter's. Before that, in the late 1950s, he was an analyst at the RAND Corp., the Air Force-sponsored think tank where ideas about war in the nuclear age were coined—and Kaufmann did much of the coining.
But more to the point (for I don't mean to write a reminiscence or an obit), the evolution in Kaufmann's thinking, especially after he left the corridors of power, holds a lesson for those on Team Obama—including the president-elect himself—preparing to immerse themselves in the maze.
When Bill Kaufmann started thinking about the Bomb, Soviet-American tensions were near their peak. A lot of people seriously believed that a nuclear war was possible, even likely. And the U.S. Strategic Air Command's plan for such a war was, to put it simply, insane. If the Soviet Union invaded Western Europe, SAC's actual, official, and only plan was to launch its entire atomic arsenal—3,423 nuclear bombs, packing a total of 7,487 megatons of explosive power—against every major urban, industrial, and military target in the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe, and Communist China. The official estimate held that the attack would kill 285 million Russians and Chinese, severely injure 40 million more, and wreak incalculable casualties from radioactive fallout.
This was the plan, assuming that the Soviets invaded only with conventional armies, that they did not drop a single one of their atomic bombs first.
Quite apart from moral considerations, the plan made no strategic sense. The attack would almost certainly fail to destroy all of the Soviets' nuclear weapons. Facing such a huge (and quite visible) onslaught of bombers and missiles, the Soviets would strike back—perhaps pre-emptively—and kill millions in the United States and Western Europe. It wasn't just mass murder; it was suicide.
So, Kaufmann (along with a few others at RAND) came up with an alternative, which they he called a "counterforce" strategy. If the Soviets invaded Western Europe (a scenario for which the United States at the time had no conventional defense), we should drop a relatively small number of nuclear bombs on the Soviet Union—hitting only their strategic military targets (bomber bases, missile sites, submarine pens, etc.)—and keep the rest of our arsenal on alert but at invulnerable locations (on submarines at sea or in underground missile silos). The president should then tell the Soviet premier: If you don't retreat, we will fire these remaining weapons against your cities. The idea was to try to "manage" the nuclear war, to keep the damages "limited."
Some of Kaufmann's colleagues—most notably Herman Kahn, the intellectual model for Dr. Strangelove—adopted the counterforce logic with exuberance. (In his book Thinking About the Unthinkable, Kahn spelled out 44 "rungs of escalation" from "Ostensible Crisis" to "Spasm or Insensate War," with in-between rungs including "Harassing Acts of Violence," "Barely Nuclear War," "Local Nuclear War—Exemplary," and "Slow-Motion Countercity War.")
Kaufmann was the exact opposite of Kahn in style and temperament. He viewed counterforce as a strategy strictly of desperation—a possible way to keep things from getting totally out of control in case war broke out.
But then Kaufmann came into the Pentagon during the reign of Robert McNamara (who hired almost all of his "whiz kids" from RAND). McNamara had received SAC's briefing on the official war plan—which horrified him—before hearing Kaufmann outline counterforce. McNamara found Kaufmann's ideas positively liberal by comparison—and ordered SAC to incorporate them into its nuclear-war plan.
At this point, a different logic took over. It was one thing to propose the idea as a principle and another to translate it into policy. The more you deal with the details of a concept, the more real it seems. And the more secretive the details (and there were few documents more secret than the nuclear-war plan), the more this cloistered setting comes to resemble a hothouse, unexposed to the air of any outside scrutiny.
"It's the king's game," Kaufmann once told me, with a reedy chuckle, in explaining the allure of this inner sanctum.
But then, in the early '80s, when Ronald Reagan came to office, Kaufmann got out of the hothouse (nobody asked him to stay on), and he suddenly saw his old world from a fresh perspective.
In the intense ambience of RAND or the Pentagon, he told me, "it was easy to get caught up in the whole nuclear business. You could eat and breathe the stuff. … Then you'd move away from it for a while, look at it from a distance, and think, 'God, that's a crazy world.' "
Even on the theory's own level, flaws stood out blaringly. In one conversation we had around this time, he listed several problems: "How do you get your surveillance and post-attack reconnaissance? How do you know what's been hit and what's left? How do you end the war? How do you get the two sides together?"
Kaufmann and most of his like-minded colleagues had always held some of these reservations about the concept, but they stuck to it, again, as an alternative to the instant holocaust of the pre-1960s nuclear-war plan.
The novelty—and shock—of the Reagan administration, especially in its first term, was that, for the first time, high-level officials were talking about "limited nuclear options" and "prevailing" in a "protracted nuclear war" in public and with gusto, as if the notions were real and even appealing.
At this point, ensconced at the Brookings Institution, Kaufmann became an outspoken critic of defense planning and policies, attacking the feasibility of the nuclear notions and calling for a 50 percent reduction in the military budget.
Gradually, he abandoned the ideas about nuclear war that he'd once practically invented. They "may sound reasonable—or may not, depending on your viewpoint," he once told me, "but they have no operational substance. … My guess is they're just not worth the trouble, even assuming they are feasible, which I question."
The Cold War and preoccupations with nuclear-war strategy are, of course, long over. So what lessons does Kaufmann's evolution hold for the incoming Obama administration? Every subculture, especially every bureaucratized subculture, has a set of unquestioned assumptions—bits of "conventional wisdom," as John Kenneth Galbraith once called them. The key to preserving one's sanity and wisdom is not to fall prey to their assumptions, not to fear sounding stupid by questioning them—to stay an inside player without losing a common-sense outsider's perspective.

Game of Thrones Season 5 Filming Finished, Actors Give Hints, and HBO's Streaming Service. The filming for HBO's Game of Thrones: Season 5 officially ended on December 12, 2014 in Belfast, Ireland. Sophie Turner recently spoke on video about a "traumatic" scene for Sansa Stark in Season 5. Maisie Williams gave clues in a recent interview about Ayra Stark's dark storyline as well. Finally, HBO's streaming service (think Netflix) will debut with the release of Game of Thrones: Season 5.
Tweets from production members of the Wolf and Dragon, Belfast-based units of the show heralded the end of filming:

Sophie Turner on her character and Arya Stark in Game of Thrones: Season 5:
Maisie Williams on Arya Stark in Game of Thrones: Season 5:
As for the future of Arya Stark on Game of Thrones, Maisie reports, "There's a big ending for Arya," in season 5. "They're basically breaking her down, and you get to see behind the cracks."
She confirms in the interview that they are coming to the end of Arya's book material, as she understands it. (The actress doesn't read the books for now, to avoid getting confused about storylines.) "We're coming to the end now, so I don't know what they're going to do next year," Williams says. "It's the end of Arya, as far as anyone knows."
On HBO's streaming service:
Forbes is reporting that an internal memo reveals that the as-of-now unnamed service will act independently from the cable-based streaming service, HBO Go. It will also be developed outside of HBO by MLB Advanced, a company best known for providing "white-label streaming technology for clients like WWE Network."
A separate streaming software, known internally as Maui, which was being developed in-house has been sidelined; though it may eventually be rolled into HBO Go to help combat some of the issues that service has experienced in the past during high volume times. The memo, sent by Mark Thomas, SVP of Technology Program Management, and Drew Angeloff, SVP, Digital Products, explains the decision as one to ensure the quality of the product:
Maui was a way to get us into market faster with a less than perfect solution – the external partner will take that burden allowing us to focus on the forward looking technologies we are creating for HBO GO.
HBO's streaming service is slated to make it's debut in April 2015, seemingly to capitalize on the viewership boost that will come with the start of the new season of Game of Thrones.

The One Year® Chronological Bible, NKJV, (Tyndale, 2013), February 4
The Passover would mark the new beginning of the nation of Israel: "This month shall be your beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you" (Ex. 12:2). The weeklong celebration would be called "The Feast of Unleavened Bread."
On the tenth day of this month at twilight a lamb per household would be selected and watched for four days to ensure that it had no blemish (12:4-6).
On the fourteenth day of the month the lamb was to be slain, its blood drained from its body, its body roasted in fire, and eaten (12:8)
On this night the blood would be smeared on the doorposts and lintel to signify that death had already occurred in the house (12:7).
From the fourteen day until the twenty-first day of the month, only unleavened bread would be eaten (12:17).
Only the circumcised could partake of the Passover meal (12:43, 48).
The Passover would also be an annual teaching tool: "And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever. It will come to pass when you come to the land which the LORD will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service. And it shall be, when your children say to you, 'What do you mean by this service?' that you shall say, 'It is the Passover sacrifice of the LORD, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households'" (12:24-27).
Throughout the story of the Bible God gives His people visuals to remind them of His promises and His activity on their behalf:
- The sacrifice made in the garden reminds Adam and Eve's descendants of the seriousness of sin and the cost of redemption.
- The rainbow reminds people that no matter how hard it rains, God will never destroy the earth again by water.
- The dust of the earth, the stars of the sky, circumcision, name changes, and the interruption of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac by God's provision of a substitute remind Israel of the promises of God regarding them as a nation.
- The land of Canaan was peppered with the altars built by the patriarchs to remind them of God's promise of redemption and His acceptance of a substitute.
Now, God gives the community as a whole an annual event to remind them of who He is for them as Redeemer and Provider. Sadly, throughout their history Israel allows this annual event to lapse, and the vacuum is filled with celebrations to idols.
This instruction regarding the annual celebration of the Passover is for Israel's good; it is not meant to be a burden but a reminder.
Questions from today's reading (Exodus 10:1-12:51):
What role did the plague of locusts have in the dismantling of the financial infrastructure of Egypt?
How did God distinguish Israel from the Egyptians in the ninth plague? What does this reveal about God?
Review the promise given to Abraham in Genesis 15:13-14. What had God spoken regarding this time nearly 400 years earlier?
What will the instruction given by Moses in Exodus 11:2 require of Israel's women?

DuPage County Board Chairman Dan Cronin demanded the ouster of two top DuPage Housing Authority officials Wednesday after learning about two federal audits critical of the agency.
Longtime Housing Authority President John Day resigned while his deputy, Robert Hess, retired, said Mary Dickson, the authority's attorney.
Cronin said he had lost confidence in Day after two reports by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development concluded the county's housing authority had misused funds. The agency provides rental assistance and ensures affordable housing opportunities.

Jewish World Review Jan. 23, 2002 / 10 Shevat, 5762
Debra J. Saunders
http://www.NewsAndOpinion.com -- ON SEPT. 11, one industry didn't close for business. Spam continued to bombard e-mail users, including pornographic spam.
As Tom Geller of the anti-spam SpamCon Foundation in San Francisco noted, within hours of the terrorist attacks, spam e-mails were capitalizing on the carnage. "No terrorists here!" boasted one e-mail. "Join our porn site, turn off the TV, quit watching the crap happening in the states, and join our free site," it continued.
Geller's group doesn't differentiate between porn spam and business-scam spam; SpamCon hates them all. Well, who doesn't hate spam? Deleting unsolicited messages takes time. Geller estimates that because Internet service providers disseminate this deluge of unwanted information, consumers have to pay some $3 to $4 per month for e-mail they don't want.
Still, there is something particularly invasive about pornographic spam. Whether it's "Hot Amy" inviting Internet users to watch her on her Webcam, or Jessica or Tammy, or invitations to spy at Asian hotties or messages that claim to have captured celebrities in revealing positions, the consumer is thrust into a world that demeans women and men, too.
Improved e-mail technology has only made matters worse. These days, you don't have to open an attached file or click on a box to see naked writhing bodies. Sometimes all you have to do is open an e-mail and you get a big surprise -- maybe graphic photos, or maybe the opportunity, with one click of the mouse, to see women getting cozy with dogs. Or you're automatically sent to a Web site, which ensures you will receive more spam.
You don't even have to open some e-mail to be treated to a misogynistic subject line. As in -- animal rights activists be forewarned -- "hot girls and wild horses."
Geller's group may not distinguish between home-finance spams and flesh spams, but this woman does. Promises of peeks at "teen sluts" are far more irritating and distracting than spams pitching a low mortgage rate.
And, of course, there is no way that the sites can tell if the e-mail reader is age 18 or older.
Then again, any group that would advertise sex with "teens" probably doesn't care how old the paying clients are.
Even filters don't keep out all the junk. Consumers can set it up to block mail from one address, only to receive the same e-mail from a different one.
Geller's organization maintains a Web site (spamcon.org) with advice on how consumers can cut down on spam. The site also lists state laws that may help consumers who care to protest the dirty deluge.
Meanwhile, some Internet service providers can and should work harder to spare their customers from the flood of spam, pornographic and otherwise. They can monitor and block e-mail addresses of known offenders.
I'm not saying that people who want to log onto porn should be denied that access. But if they can choose to have it, the rest of us should be able to choose not to be treated to the salacious subject lines. Ditto for our children.
Without even meaning to, the unsuspecting consumer can find herself staring at images that wouldn't rate space in most magazines that come in plain brown wrappers. I never requested such fare, but I got 22 porn spams over the weekend.
And the worst of it is, I didn't have any
