DC Comics ongoing series "Grayson" sees former Robin and Nightwing Dick Grayson going undercover with the super spy organization Spyral without losing what makes him part of the Batman family. That pitch could almost serve as a metaphor for series co-writer Tom King.
A former CIA counter-terrorism officer turned novelist, King may seem like a new face to the comics industry. But as he told CBR, his arrival really marks a return to his roots more so than an infiltration. King previously worked behind the scenes in comics before moving on to government work, and both experiences factor heavily into "Grayson," which continues its opening "season" of mostly one-and-done stories with November's issue #4.
CBR TV: Tim Seeley on Guiding "Grayson" & "Batman Eternal"
CBR News discussed the ins and outs of his career and his work with "Grayson" writing partner Tim Seeley, and below King explains his own history as a comic pro, details the past Dick Grayson issues which will have an impact on incoming stories in his series, reveals what he can about how his CIA life informs the book and teases where the first season of story will go after a Helena-heavy annual.
CBR News: Tom, with the latest few issues you've stepped up to take over scripting duties on "Grayson" as the book has continued to get a good response from fans. What's the overall learning curve been like on your first big comics project?
Tom King: Mercifully, I'm not coming into this completely cold. I interned at both Vertigo and Marvel in the late '90s. At Vertigo I got to see Garth Ennis tweak "Preacher" and Brian Azzarello pitch "100 Bullets." At Marvel I worked as comic genius Chris Claremont's assistant, and we'd go through and evaluate every script that was coming in then, comparing how Kevin Smith did something to how Roger Stern did it. After an odd excursion into the world of spies and terrorists, my first novel ("A Once Crowded Sky" from Simon & Schuster! Buy it! Buy it twice!) was about superheroes and was a combination of prose and paneled pages. I worked on that with Tom Fowler, one of the great contemporary cartoonists who basically put me through how-to-write-a-comic-page school. Now, I'm working with Tim Seeley and my editor Mark Doyle, both of whom are incredibly talented teachers at the art of comic writing.
That said, there have been some bumps in the curve. Probably the greatest challenge so far has been matching the beats in a script to the beats in a drawn, colored, and lettered comic. A script reads so slow compared to how fast a comic reads. Writing needs to take a breath sometimes, to calm in order to set up the surprise of the crazy. I'll see that calm in the script, then when I'm reading the comic, it magically disappears. I think when I'm writing, I sometimes make a stupid assumption that people will stare at the art for a bit then read the word on the page, and this isn't how comics essentially work: we absorb both simultaneously, which affects the beats.
As wide a reception as the series has had, I still think the readership is getting to know your voice as a storyteller. One thing that everybody noticed when "Grayson" was announced was your background with the CIA. Obviously, that's the kind of career that's hard to talk about in public (or maybe even impossible!). But even though the particulars of a spy book like this are wildly different from that real life work, I wondered if you could tell me how that background informs this series?
The CIA stuff is always a tricky subject. Basically, I'm never going to put anything about actual CIA sources and methods into my writing. There's not really a choice to it. People are still out there risking their lives under the assumption that those secrets will be kept.
That said, it's my responsibility as a writer to put myself into my work, and part of who I am is that experience. I was a nerd. I was a philosophy major. Then, like millions of people my age, after 9/11 I volunteered for a very strange fight against a very strange enemy. The emotions I went through in those years -- the lies I told, how scared I was, how brave I found everyone else to be -- will be on every page of "Grayson" and every other book I write.
And from a comics standpoint, what's your history like? How did you come up as a reader both when you were young and after you'd started your career as a novelist? Do you have any comics writers you've looked to for inspiration on "Grayson?"
My first comic was "Avengers" #300 (Gilgamesh!), which I got when I was about seven or eight, and I was insanely hooked. When I escaped the usual furies of a nerdy youth, I escaped into comic books. I learned how to ride a bike so I could ride one to the comic shop (Comics Ink in LA!). Now, my tastes were not that broad. They ran the spectrum from DC superheroes to Marvel superheroes. Like a lot of readers my age, I fell out of comics in the late '90s then returned in the early 2000s when the Bendis-Millar-Brubaker generation of writers injected incredible energy into the medium. At that time, I finally went out and read all the non-superhero comics I'd absurdly missed as a kid.
In terms of my comic influences on "Grayson," everything for me starts with Alan Moore and Frank Miller: in terms of quality and creativity in superhero comics, those two set a bar that I'm going to try my damnedest to get up to. I'll fail, but it'll be worth the fall. Grant Morrison's influence on the whole series is fairly obvious. Other writers I look to are Brian Michael Bendis, Louise Simonson, Charles Schulz, Art Spieglman, Naoki Urasawa, Ed Brubaker, Darwyn Cooke, Will Eisner, Peter David, George Herriman, Wendy Pini, Alex Robinson, Keith Giffen, John Ostrander and Kim Yale -- I could go on for basically ever, Those are just the ones whose work I keep by my desk. It is worth mentioning that the idea for the "Grayson: Futures End" backward issue was inspired by Peter David's "Star Trek Annual" #3 -- a great Scotty story. People should check it out.
Seeley, King Enter the DCU's Espionage World in "Grayson"
You've said a few places that Dick was always your favorite DC character thanks to his accessibility. With that in mind, what were the big stories that first brought you into his world? Are any of them the kind of thing you'll look to fold into the background of this book?
I came into DC comics with Tim being Robin and Dick being the ex-Robin, the man who had gone through that uniquely frightening experience and emerged as someone uniquely brave. I remember buying my first trade, "A Lonely Place of Dying," and obsessing over the Tim/Dick/Batman interaction. There was this essential question there about how do you leave childhood without losing who you were as a child. I read that thing to pulp. The first time I got to write my own complete script for the series, I titled it "Only a Place for Dying," as a tribute to that experience.
Some of my other favorite Grayson stories are:
"Birds of Pray" #8 (the Barbara/Dick date issue), which is where Agent 8 from "Grayson" #3 gets her name; "Batman" #156 ("Robin Dies at Dawn"), which will play a role in an upcoming issue, and, probably my favorite Dick Grayson story of all time; "Secret Origins Annual" #3, which I haven't yet figured out how to squeeze story out of -- but I will! Dick Grayson has a 74-year history, and though "Grayson" is a book solidly set in the New 52 featuring a very modern take on the hero, that history will always be in the background and will always haunt and elevate our hero.
In terms of the nuts and bolts of the series, you and Tim Seeley have plotted out an opening 10-issue arc or "Season" already. But the title still has a very "one and done" feel with each issue serving up its own story. What does that single issue format offer you in terms of writing, and will the practice have to break down a bit as things start rolling towards #10?
Just like you said, the series starts with basically seven one and done issues ("Grayson" #1-5 plus the Annual and "Futures End"), all of them centered around the collecting of these Paragon organs. We wanted to focus in the beginning on Dick Grayson as super spy, show how he uses the skills he acquired as Nightwing and Robin in this new environment. It should be noted that these issues are one and dones with consequences. The characters and emotional moments of all of these issues will play out over time. After issue #5 you'll see some longer arcs as we start to explore the larger story of what exactly Spyral is and how it impacts Dick's life and the greater DCU.
As for one and dones, I love them as a reader and as a challenge to the writer. Every panel has to be used properly; every word balloon, every page turn has to serve the theme of the issue. Whenever I get frustrated that I don't have enough room to tell a story, I go back and read Moore's DC work from the '80s, or Warren Ellis' "Fell," and that pretty much shames me into working harder to find the space. Those guys did more in an issue than some comics do in 24-issue arcs.
Last month you guys had a very different take on the "Futures End" month with a story that ran backward in time. I'm sure the ignoble end that Dick faced in Russia is something that will be a long way off if it ever truly comes to pass, but that issue did strongly hint that he and Helena Bertinelli are on a path toward a romantic collision. Can we take that at face value -- especially considering the fact that she's essentially been tasked with smoking him out at the end of #3?
Because of what Spyral is, it's probably a bad idea to take anything in the series at face value. Also, that was a "Futures End" issue. Remember that this world is not a world that has to be. Both Tim and I want to explore what Helena means to Dick. As we go forward, you'll see their relationship evolve and devolve and evolve again. Really though, for me at least, Dick's true love might be someone else. Answers are right in front of you, I guess.
One of the biggest things the series hangs its hat on is Spyral -- the super weird spy organization whose membership serves as both Dick's allies and enemies. Obviously the big mystery here is the identity of Mister Minos, but since I don't think you're spilling the beans, let me ask if we should be particularly worried that he seems to be gathering body parts that could build a one-man Justice League. Is he trying to unmask the superheroes or just create the ultimate one?
The power of Spyral is the power of lies. They'll hit you in the face if they have to, but they'd rather find a way to manipulate you into walking into a wall. At this point, Spyral is focused on mapping out the secret identities of the DCU's superheroes, and that's why they're collecting these organs. Or at least that's what they're saying. Honestly, I don't trust those guys. I've walked into too many walls.
As we build toward that, though, I get the sense that the newest recurring face from Spyral that won't be erased from fans' minds is The Tiger -- AKA Agent 1. The idea that this guy is top dog at the agency is intimidating enough to say nothing of his background in war torn Afghanistan. What's his role in the series set to be, especially considering Dick just stood next to the man who killed his partner?
You noticed that? Awesome. This is what I was talking about above, having one and dones that also have impact on the story as a whole.
We have insanely huge plans for The Tiger -- which I can't talk about! Ugh. I hate this. I'm honestly dying to post his origin and where his story's going and start bragging about how cool it is. But, apparently, that's against the rules of "narrative" or whatever. Let me just say this is a guy who is Spyral's top agent, and Dick is betraying Spyral. This is also a guy who just watched his partner get killed by a villain Dick could have put down. There's some tension between these two very talented men. Quite a bit of tension. Over the next few arcs we'll see how that tension plays out.
Or, I guess I could just post it. Hmmm.
Looking at the issues coming up, you've got an annual spotlighting the origin of Helena, a "Secret Origins" story for Dick and few more international missions in the main series. How are you and Tim planning out each of these stories, and how will they start to tie together as the season moves into its second half?
We have a master document that we worked out prior to the first issue, which basically covers Season One. We started with looking at where Dick and Helena were at the beginning of this year and where we wanted them at the end, then we worked from there. Once we had the beats, we fought over who got to write what. We have some plans for a second season arc, and we'll draw up another master document pretty soon, I'd think. Wait, does anyone have Tim's e-mail?
I should say, the annual was originally meant to focus on Helena's origin as it says in "Previews." But with the huge support for "Grayson," DC is very kindly giving us some extra space for that story. As such, the annual will touch on Helena's origin, but the focus of the issue will be on spies and their lies. It's one of my favorite things I've written.
And for you personally, after this launch are you looking to expand your comics writing credentials in the near future?
Yes! But I'm playing it cool. Soooooo... maybe? Whatevs. Why, you hiring? I can get you a pitch by Monday.
"Grayson" #4 goes on sale November 5 from DC Comics. The first annual follows in December.

Enigma Lecture
- 13/05/2012
Lord Lieutenant Mrs Janet Bowen had the pleasure of attending two events during the Russian Arctic Convoy Week at Aultbea.
On Saturday 12 May she attended the lecture on Enigma at the Aultbea Community Hall and spoke in warm recognition of all that had been achieved in recognising the part that the veterans of the convoys and the area of Loch Ewe had played. She also spoke of the close interest of Prince Michael of Kent and undertook to report back to him the progress that had been made.
Her speech was followed by talk on the part of the RAF in the Russian Arctic Convoys. The convoys had carried a large number of hurricane aircraft to Murmansk and Archangel, together with pilots and aircrew to fight the Germans and to train Russians to operate the aircraft. Further reports on this can be found at http://russianarcticconvoymuseum.co.uk/index.html. The speaker, Air Commodore Phil Wilkinson, as it happens, on other business, had spoken to Prince Michael earlier in the week, and carried his personal message of encouragement and support.
The main business of the meeting was a talk on the Enigma Coding Machine.

In an early morning Sunday tweet, Donald Trump gave a thumbs down to NBC's "Saturday Night Live" and it's latest Trump impersonator, Alec Baldwin.
Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 16, 2016
Watched Saturday Night Live hit job on me.Time to retire the boring and unfunny show. Alec Baldwin portrayal stinks. Media rigging election!
It came after a very busy day for Trump. He lashed out against what he called "phony" accusations of inappropriate sexual contact leveled by several women, two more of whom came forward on Friday, and said the election is being "rigged by the media."
Trump kicked off his defense at a rally Friday afternoon in Greensboro, North Carolina, saying he is being attacked with lies and slander. He later put out a statement saying he would bypass the national media to address the country "in a more personal way" about his plans, and pursued that strategy in a series of tweets early Saturday.
Trump, whose campaign has been roiled by the accusations and a 2005 recording in which he bragged about kissing and groping women without their consent, indicated he welcomed the chance to respond. He even suggested that one of the women wasn't attractive enough to draw his attention. "She would not be my first choice, that I can tell you. You don't know, that would not be my first choice."
"My people always say, don't talk about it, talk about jobs," Trump said. "But I feel I have to talk about it because you have to dispute when somebody says something."
By addressing the accusations at a rally with just 25 days left in the campaign, and with early voting under way in many states, Trump is keeping attention on an issue that has caused his poll numbers to nosedive. His support turned down sharply after his first debate with Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton on Sept. 26. Then, on Oct. 7, the Washington Post unearthed a recording of Trump talking on an open microphone in 2005 about being able to "do anything" to women because of his fame.
Debate Topic
That recording prompted several high-profile Republican officials to distance themselves from Trump and became a major topic at his second debate with Clinton. In an attempt at counter-programming, Trump held an event with three women who've accused Clinton's husband, former president Bill Clinton, of sexual misconduct, and then brought them to the debate venue as his guests.
Since then his poll numbers have weakened to show an 8 percentage-point deficit against Clinton in a Fox News survey conducted Oct. 10-12. The Democrat has gained in crucial battleground states such as Pennsylvania and Florida as well.
Clinton said Friday she takes no pleasure in the controversies surrounding Trump.
"This election is incredibly painful," Clinton told volunteers at a Democratic campaign office in Seattle. "I take absolutely no satisfaction in what is happening on the other side with my opponent. I am not at all happy about that because it hurts our country, it hurts our democracy, it sends terrible messages to so many people here at home and around the world.''
Trump's running mate, Indiana Governor Mike Pence, said Friday morning that the campaign would release evidence that "calls into question these allegations." That came later in the day in the form of an interview given to the New York Post by a British man who claimed he was on the flight where one of Trump's accusers said he accosted her.
The man, identified as Anthony Gilberthorpe, said that Trump didn't grope the woman and "it was she that was the one being flirtatious," according to the Post. He provided no evidence to back up his account other than his memory, the newspaper said.
The Post story noted that Gilberthorpe made headlines in the U.K. in 2014 when he claimed that as a teenager he had solicited boys, some possibly under age, for sex parties with British politicians.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, Trump railed against "100% fabricated and made-up charges, pushed strongly by the media and the Clinton Campaign [which] may poison the minds of the American Voter." This year's contest "looks like a rigged election," Trump said on Twitter.
New Accuser
While Trump spoke in Greensboro, another woman was making allegations against the Republican nominee at a news conference in Los Angeles called by activist lawyer Gloria Allred. Summer Zervos, a contestant on season five of Trump's show, "The Apprentice," said Trump repeatedly tried to kiss her and grab her breasts during a private dinner when she was seeking a job with his company. She said that she continued to seek employment with Trump after she rebuffed his attempts but that he "gave me the run around."
Allred, who's been a supporter of Clinton, said Zervos and other women are coming forward now because of the release of the 2005 recording of Trump bragging that he could do anything he wanted to women and his denial at the second presidential debate that he had acted in that manner.
"After hearing the released audiotapes and your denials during the debates, I felt I had to speak out about your behavior," Zervos, who said she was a Republican, said as if addressing Trump. "You do not have the right to treat women as sexual objects just because you're a star."
Trump released a statement later denying her account. "To be clear, I never met her at a hotel or greeted her inappropriately a decade ago," Trump said in the written statement. "Hillary Clinton can spend all of her time and money pushing complete lies against our campaign, but I refuse to fall victim to this vicious cycle of personal attacks."
His campaign also issued a statement from Zervos's cousin, John Barry of Mission Viejo, California, questioning her story. Barry said Zervos had praised Trump for years -- until she invited him to her restaurant during the Republican primary, and he declined.
"I think Summer wishes she could still be on reality TV, and in an effort to get that back she's saying all of these negative things about Mr. Trump," Barry said in the statement.
Manhattan Nightspot
In another case made public Friday, Kristin Anderson, now 46 and a photographer living in Southern California, told the Washington Post that Trump groped her at a crowded Manhattan nightspot during the 1990s.
Anderson, at the time a model in her early 20s, said she was seated on a couch in conversation with acquaintances when Trump, who she hadn't noticed was seated beside her, slid his fingers under her miniskirt and touched her genitals through her underwear. She said she shoved his hand aside and fled.
Allegations by other women have been published by the New York Times, People magazine and the Palm Beach Post. And CNN published a 2005 radio interview in which Trump said that owning beauty pageants meant he could go backstage to see women naked under the auspices of "inspecting" things.
In Greensboro, Trump, 70, said he had "no idea" who the accusers are and that some are making the allegations "for a little fame." He again called the accusations lies pushed by the media and the Clinton campaign in the final weeks of the presidential election.
"They are all false. They're totally invented," Trump said. "They have no witnesses, there's nobody around."
At a rally later in Charlotte, Trump vowed to "stick to the issues," moments before he referenced his sex life. "You would be very impressed, actually, with my life in so many regards, including that regard," he said.
Clinton and her allies have seized on Trump's bragging about being able to make unwanted advances on women to question his fitness to serve in the nation's highest office. First lady Michelle Obama delivered an emotional address on Thursday, saying, "It has shaken me to my core in a way that I couldn't have predicted."
The first lady, an important surrogate for Clinton among women and young voters, denounced Trump's remarks and said voters must send him a message that "enough is enough."
Clinton's campaign on Friday said in a statement that her top female allies are being dispatched to battleground states in a concentrated effort "to emphasize the troubling accusations against Donald Trump and his degrading comments about women to women voters. "
House Speaker Paul Ryan, a Wisconsin Republican, ignored Trump entirely during remarks Friday in which he argued instead why Clinton shouldn't be elected president. Ryan earlier this week ignited a civil war within his party when he told rank-and-file House Republicans that he wouldn't be campaigning for the party's presidential nominee or defending him.

MSC : Jean-François Berret (CNRS)
MSC : Leticia Vitorazi (Post-Doc)
Project description Magnetic nanowires have attracted much interest recently because of their potential applications in sensing, micromechanics, microfluidics and cell manipulation. Magnetic nanowires are elongated objects in the µ-meter range, which can be actuated by the application of an external magnetic field. Their motion of rotation provides information of the viscosity of the fluid. At the Laboratory Matière et Systèmes Complexes in Paris, we have developed a method to synthesize magnetic nanowires of length 1 – 10 µm that can be internalized into living cells and tissues. With these probes, we study the biomechanics of cells. To improve the contrast of the wires, we wish to add a fluorescent functionality while keeping the magnetic properties unchanged. Bimodal nanowires can be obtained by incorporating fluorescent semi-conductor nanoparticles, called quantum dots into the wires. The fluorescence properties of the quantum dots are modulated by a change of the particle size. The objectives of the internship are : - The coating and characterization of quantum dots in solutions - The synthesis of bimodal wires with fluorescent and magnetic properties - The imaging of wires inside living cells at different stages of the internalization. During the internship, the student (M1, M2) will have the opportunity to learn different techniques of physical-chemistry and biophysics, including the purification of nano/bio materials, spectroscopy, gel electrophoresis, optical and confocal microscopy and cell culture. Description of the team that the student will join for the project Describe the team that the student will join for the project. The intern will join a group of 6 researchers, composed of 1 PhD (Fanny Mousseau), 2 postdocs (Leticia Vitorazi, one to be hired) and 3 permanent positions. The permanent positions are an ANR awarded "Chaire d'excellence" (Emek Seyrek), a biology engineer (Carine Vias) and a CNRS scientist (Jean-François Berret). Our research group develops novel functional nanostructures with stimuli-responsive features and biocompatibility. The particles, proteins and other biomacromolecules are elementary bricks of colloidal scaffolds designed for applications. Based on techniques of assembly using non-covalent interactions, this approach offers versatility and simplicity for the fabrication of novel nanomaterials with enhanced functionalities. A second objective of our research deals with the applications of these nanomaterials in medicine, biology and in environment. It includes their use as tools for imaging and therapy in living cells and tissues, as well as the study of their cyto- and genotoxicity. In this research, emphasis is put on key features such as interactions, localization and titration of nanomaterials in biological and natural environments. Recent References on this work M. Safi, M.

Chronicle cartoonist Phil Frank to get statue in rebuilt Sausalito park
The late Phil Frank, creator of the Farley comic strip, was always worthy of a statue cast in bronze. Now he has two of them.
One is life-size. The other is of his head. Both are bronze and will soon be on public display in Sausalito, where the Chronicle cartoonist lived for 35 years and became as much of a town character as the ones he drew with his pen.
"Sausalito loved and still loves Phil," said Jerry Taylor, president of the Sausalito Historical Society. "He energized everybody constantly."
Most prominent of the two statues is the full-length Frank, 5 feet, 10 inches tall. It will stand as a greeter at the corner of Bridgeway and Bay, outside the historic Ice House, which Frank helped turn into a one-room museum to the fishing, shipbuilding and bootlegging past of his adopted hometown. The Ice House, which serves as the Sausalito Visitor Center, is next to a decrepit cinder-block seating area that will get a complete makeover and be named Ice House Plaza.
Paid for through community donations, Ice House Plaza is three-quarters of the way to its fundraising goal of $400,000, which is close enough to schedule a groundbreaking after the conclusion of the annual Sausalito Art Festival over Labor Day weekend.
The festival foundation paid for the statue, which was conceived by Paul Anderson, its longtime managing director. It was cast at Walla Walla Foundry in Washington state. The statue has been standing on the second floor of City Hall, in the Sausalito Historical Society Gallery, a place where Frank liked to hang out.
"It is waiting for instruction," said Frank's widow, Susan. "Phil would be laughing."
By late October, the statue will be out in the salt air, with a smile on that friendly face, hands on hips, rolled-up Chronicle in its right hand, and Farley's sidekick Bruce the Raven standing on its left shoulder.
"He'll probably have a pigeon on the other shoulder," said Dana Whitson, former Sausalito city manager, who can still evoke the Frank sense of humor even 11 years after his death, at 64, from an aggressive brain tumor.
The bronze head of Frank was done by Piedmont sculptor Bruce Wolfe, who also made the bust of former San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom for City Hall, and maestros Kurt Herbert Adler and Lotfi Mansouri at the Opera House. More recently, Wolfe did the full-length Tony Bennett, which stands outside the Fairmont Hotel on Nob Hill.
Frank and Wolfe were tentmates at Monkey Block, a camp full of artists at Bohemian Grove in Sonoma County. Frank sat for Wolfe several times, and Wolfe presented the bust at the grove a few months before the cartoonist died. Every year since, the bust has represented Frank at the Bohemian Grove encampment in July.
But after this year's encampment ends, the bust will be put on permanent display at Cavallo Point, probably in Farley Bar, which is decorated with Frank's cartoon strips.
More Information
Phil Frank statue: Donations for Ice House Plaza may be paid to the Sausalito Historical Society, P.O. Box 352, Sausalito, CA 94966. www.sausalitohistoricalsociety.com
Farley began as Travels With Farley on Nov. 3, 1975, and ran daily in The Chronicle for 32 years. Readers came to know the rumpled reporter for the Daily Requirement, who lived in a North Beach apartment with bay windows and roommate Bruce the Raven.
The strip was populated by Farley's reliable sources: his girlfriend, Irene the Meter Maid; Velma Melmac, the chain-smoking plugged-in RV camper in Yosemite National Park; Alphonse, the bear who ran a restaurant called the Fog City Dumpster; and Orwell T. Catt, leader of a feral pack in Golden Gate Park.
Had he lived, Frank would have no doubt delighted in the arrival of coyotes on city streets, not to mention the sea lions and seals nipping swimmers in Aquatic Park.
He also would have made light of the fuss being made over him with this statuary. "Phil would have been honored," Susan Frank said with a laugh. "But he would have thought this is more than what needed to be done."
The bronze in Ice House Plaza will be maintained by the Sausalito Historical Society. Nobody is sure who the other bronze belongs to, another aspect Frank would have enjoyed. Sculptor Wolfe figures it belongs to him because "no one ever paid me for it," he said. "I did it because I wanted to. Phil was my buddy."

text: Aim: To explore long-term consequences of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture on postural sway and control strategies during bilateral quiet standing, in subjects treated with or without reconstructive surgery compared to uninjured controls. Method: 70 individuals who had unilateral ACL rupture 23 +/- 2.4 years ago (33 received ACL reconstructive surgery, ACL(R), and 37 had physiotherapy only, ACL(PT)) and 33 uninjured matched controls (CTRL) (mean age 46 +/- 5.3) stood quietly with eyes closed for 3 min on a firm and on a compliant surface, respectively. Center of pressure (CoP) was registered with a force plate and postural sway was calculated from center of mass (CoM) derived from 3D kinematics. Sway density (SD) analyses of CoP assessed distance and duration of stable phases. The torque controlling postural sway was estimated from CoP-CoM. Results: Comparisons across conditions to CTRL revealed larger CoP-CoM-area in ACLR (p = 0.017, Cl: 10.95, 143.10), but not in ACL(PT). Mean distance between SD-peaks was greater for ACLR (p < 0.001, Cl: 1.73, 5.31) than for ACLRT (p = 0.006, Cl: 0.56, 4.12) relative to CTRL. Duration of SD -peaks was smaller for both ACLR and ACLRT (p < 0.001, Cl: 4.04, 1.23 and 3.82, 1.03, respectively) compared to CTRL. CoM-area in the ACL-groups did not differ from CTRL. Conclusions: ACL-injured subjects demonstrated greater postural control efforts than CTRL but without significant differences in postural sway. Control efforts were thus not directly associated with sway and further research should be focused on variance in postural control strategies.

In our day and age sustainability is becoming a way of life. You have the options to recycle, commute to work through public transportation, and eliminating unnecessary waste throughout your life. Aviation facilities are something that you can also make more sustainable immediately through short term and long-term practices. Sustainability is getting more cost-effective in this day, and if you want to make use of it there are a couple of ways you could go about it.
One way to increase sustainability would be from the very beginning – have the building be built using either items that have been recycled or materials that are sustainable. You could install a complete solar powered electrical system that would help self-power the facility, while also cutting back on secondary emissions caused by the power source. You would still have to be dependent on some power from another source, but it would help cut costs and is sustainable in the long term.
Another way that you can make aviation facilities more sustainable is by putting into action programs, and initiatives that affect facility surroundings. For example, traffic is generally very high surrounding aviation facilities. If you provide more public transportation to and from the facility you can drastically cut back on noise pollution, and emission pollution from vehicles coming to and from the facility. Another would be to more efficiently plan and construct roadways, and thoroughfares entering the area to speed up the process of transportation in the area. The faster people can get to and from the facility, the more efficiently you can mitigate the effects. Sounds barriers, and aircraft landing strips can be strategically planned to eliminate a large amount of noise pollution that often occurs around aviation facilities. As you can see there are quite a few ways for you to go about this.
A very good option to is for you to investigate the use and push of more bio-fuels in your facility. As time progresses, great strides have been made in the realm of bio-fuels. If you were to integrate a bio-fuel aircraft system, you could cut back on emissions, and have a more sustainable approach to fuel. This is becoming more important every year, and you could make your facility emissions fall back to a more manageable level through this practice. There are many sustainable bio-fuels that have been around for decades, but few facilities have actually put them in use. You could do so to make your facility much more sustainable.
There are many ways that you can make your aviation facility more sustainable in the long-term and short term, and you will find that many of them are manageable, and efficient ways to go about it. The future is sustainability and you will find that it's not so hard at all to find many diverse, and effective methods to do so.

My dad is sometimes a pain in the ass, but he is still my dad and I love him. Our relationship is no where in the ballpark of those you see on sitcom's and I wouldn't have it any other way. To be honest it could probably be better, but we both work on it now and again. As I progress further into my own adulthood we do a better job of being father and son.
As I watch the world around me progress and I move forward with my own life I realize how good of a job my father has done and continues to do of raising both me and my sister. Although I don't have my own kids yet, but I watch and hear other fathers, I realize that my dad did do a lot. More than most probably. It's when these other dads fail to measure up to even the minimum that my mind becomes boggled.
When it does become my turn to be dad I have already resigned myself to the fact that I'm probably going to screw up. There's no amount of classes, books, or lectures that can help prepare a parent. Learn on the fly and take what you know worked from your parents and figure out to improve on what didn't. At the end of the day it's about minimizing the negative and reinforcing the positive.
Alright I'll just stop here before I give myself a case of the "feels".

You keep your sister warm at night?
(Squinty and Droopy ph. secret)
In "Days of Heaven," (again) Bill (Richard Gere) leaves Chicago and gets farm work for himself, his sister Linda and his girlfriend Abby. Bill and Abby pretend as brother and sister.
So the question is are they hicks or not?
They do straddle the line. For the characters' sake we'll pretend that they did so because it's better to get work under this guise. That doesn't stop them from looking like kissing cousins in front of the farm. Of course, everyone notices, including the farmer (Sam Shepard) who eventually marries Abby.
I have always considered them as tragic figures, because OK, I have to explain this further by saying that this post exists because of a discussion I had with a friend after finally seeing the movie on the big screen. One of the things he also said was that the main characters weren't that intelligent. The fact that not only did they get beyond Chicago city limits but that they maneuvered themselves into the farmer's mansion disproves that. The tragic figure reading comes in when they get into something so big that they can't get out of it, a general plot that will keep most eyes' attention.
They're also not that articulate, as shown in Linda's narration, having the vernacular of Chicago streets. This is the exact opposite of "The Thin Red Line," where guys in Southern accents have poetic narration. I never really expect intelligence from my characters, nor do I expect them to evolve. As long as the characters aren't Coen Brothers stupid or Jimmy Stewart awkward. I'm saying that even if I like both the Coens and Stewart.
I'm comforted that they're not really brother and sister. Bill and Abby's relationship is also weaved into a narrative and fictional environment that doesn't make me feel uncomfortable when I'm looking at them. Thankfully.

- School District: N/A
- Category: Beginning Recruitment Program
- Award: Silver
Project Description
The Music Academy is an after school music program for 4th-8th grade Beginning to Advanced Band students hosted by Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana California. A large majority of the student body comes from schools without music programs, or highly effected socioeconomic challenges in inner city public and private schools. Many of these students only experience music through this opportunity of practicing and performing on a high school campus surrounded by high school music students, professional musicians, and teachers. Every year, the Music Academy serves over 150 students across the Southern California region. They perform every year at Knotts Berry Farm, Disneyland, Segerstrom Center of the Arts, and at a Southern California School Band and Orchestra Concert Festival (SCSBOA). Many of our students go on to other high schools in the area with a knowledge of instrument fundamentals, performance experience in a large ensemble, and a new love for the arts.
Music Academy members who later go on to attend Mater Dei High School join Marching Band, Jazz Band, Wind Ensemble, Guitar, String Orchestra, and more…
Our goal is to connect the private and public school community to a quality music educational experience and provide an outlet for students who don't have music in their schools with the best musicians and professional educators in the country.

Facecode enables consumers to treat their skin diseases through AI enabled LED Technology.
Advanced Facial Recognition & AI technologies for the treatment of Facial Skin Diseases & Disorders
Delft, The Netherlands (06/January/2019)
Today, Facecode Introduces the smart solution for people with facial skin diseases and disorders such as Wrinkles and Acne. A tailored treatment that uses state of the art computer technology like Facial Recognition and AI to identify where treatment should be applied.
In daily life, the face leaves the first impression to a person. Facial skin diseases have an enormous impact on people's life, happiness and selfesteem. The Facecode AI enabeled LED treatment is developed for skin deaseases and disorders such as anti Acne and Wrinkles. Providing flexible treatment, without the need of a crème or any other aid on the skin itself; The Facecode unlocks new market opportunities for day to day skin treatment. Facecode will be demonstrating its solution during the CES Show in Las Vegas at (Eureka Park, Sands, Booth: 51726).
Smart care for skincare
It works as follows; Facecode utilizes Facial Recognition & AI technologies to identify skin diseases such as Acne and Wrinkles. First, Facecode determines the right treatment for your skin, using a facial scan. Then, after scanning your face you can start your pinpoint treatment, which means that Facecode only irradiates the locations of face that suffers with a skin disease/disorder. Your treatment will be saved in your own application, on your mobile device, and will give you advice about the next treatment.
LED Therapy
But how does LED therapy work? Just like plants use sunlight to heal and grow, our body is able to harness specific wavelengths of light and turn them into cellular energy. This, in turn, stimulates your body's natural healing process.
This is a truly revolutionary product that will help in the treatment of skin diseases and disorders but also help people to live a happier life by boosting their selfesteem.
At CES we want to connect with distributors, sales agents to develop sales and distribution for our product in the US/Europe and Asia. Facecode is also looking for development partners to keep our product unique at the cutting edge of treatment of facial skin disorders & diseases.
Come visit us at our Booth in the Holland Pavilion (Eureka Park, Sands) and see for yourself how we improve the treatment of anti Acne of Wrinkles!
Team Facecode
The development and production of Facecode is a collaboration between Kaiyan Medical and Delft Engineers. Kaiyan Medical is a medical LED producing company in Shenzhen, China, producing LED therapy products for medical and beauty purposes. Delft Engineers is an engineering company in the Netherlands, having it's specialisation in (complex) product development.
At the CES the founder of Kaiyan Medical (Alain Dijkstra) will be attending together with a team; together with four teammembers from Delft Engineers (Kim Markwat, Michael Kasbergen, Dennis Giezeman and Koos van Heusden)
Boilerplate: At Facecode we aim to improve the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders and diseases using enhanced Facial Recognition & Artificial intelligence combined with pinpointed LED therapy.

So here goes my 12th day of October. A bit rainy. A lot of food. And some awesome friends to see along the way. It's days like this that I miss Manila.
|01. 07:48am, my parents room
I don't usually like sleeping with the air-conditioning on but with my little sister spending her last few days in Manila, I've been trying to spend as many hours with her and if that means sharing a sleeping bag on my parents floor, I did it. My old back may not be happy but it's slightly fun
02. 08:44am, dining room
It's such a luxury to eat breakfast as soon as I wake up so I've been taking advantage. And today's breakfast is an omelette that I didn't have to make. I'm also trying to curate and work through my Spain/Portugal trip and I'm terrible at captions so places will have to do. I can't believe it's been a month already. Crazy times.
03. 10:38am, CP Garcia
I took a car to meet Macy and Koko before lunch and the driver was pretty nice but I guess pretty new since she couldn't figure out the GPS and wasn't too familiar with the roads. On any other day, I would have been ok but I was on a tight timeline and ended up taking the train but the interiors of her car were very much filled with cuteness. I am guessing she is a Hello Kitty fan.
04. 11:35am, Robinsons Cybergate
And I'm back in this lobby that was home (office) for 4 years of my life. I'm late, but not as late as I would have been if I stuck to the car. Traffic is so bad these days. Macy meets me at the lobby and we wait a bit for Koko (essential member and also our beloved driver) as I greet random former colleagues who pass by.
05. 12:30pm, Yabu
And the final restaurant I was craving before coming back is checked off the list. I know I had some katsu at Tonkichi in Singapore but this is my favourite katsu place in Manila and I couldn't leave without having some of it. I mixed it up a bit this time ordering a Rosu-Oyster combo which did not disappoint. I may return before I go.
06. 01:23pm, Common Thread
Doing some shopping because why not (Koko and Macy are wonderful enablers), I see this magazine on the counter and how funny to see a friend of the family's on the cover! The magazine world is small and so is Manila and this is a great example of that! Who knew I'd see someone we kind of grew up with on the cover! Awesome!
|07. 03:50pm, Pioneer Street
After hanging out for a bit at the old office (I totally forgot to take photos as i hung out at Macy's new desk and Koko's old desk) and saying hi to former colleagues, it's off to Podium for me and Macy to run some errands and chill before dinner with the girls tonight. It's raining and what a short drive has turned to be a longer drive than usual. This is status quo.
08. 04:33pm, Wildflour
I usually nap in the afternoons these days and today, there was no nap and I was out so it was time for some coffee. And Wildflour has the most amazing Vietnamese coffee which I haven't had in a while so it was nice to chill with Macy for a bit before Lou came over and joined us for some fun.
09. 05:38pm, Podium
So silly me, in a hurry to leave this morning totally forgot to bring Chrissy's baby shower gift! The thing is, I had specifically asked Pamy to buy this gift for me and carry it all the way from Singapore only for me to forget it. Lucky me, Koko suggested a courier service that does express pick-ups and drop-offs! After some trial and error in finding a driver, I found one and my mom was nice enough to hand it over. It made it to me before the guest of honour arrived! Success!
10. 06:21pm, Madeca
Another of the restaurants I've missed and a staple dinner place for the #kaladkarin girls, it was nice to be able to have some amazing Mexican-Filipino fusion food here. I had the salpicao soft tacos and though I thought I could only finish one (as if -- I did eat two donuts beforehand), I obviously demolished both easily.
11. 08:13pm, Sebastian's
Yes, I've been eating all day. So for dessert we headed down one floor to Sebastians to open gifts with Chrissy and Aimee and take our pick of the double scoop combo -- as recommended by Macy (hello, bang for your buck). I had the butter pecan + cookie dough combination and I kind of want another serving right about now.
12. 10:38pm, hallway outside my room
My old Saltwater sandals have been worn and torn and just look really sad after many years of service and many trips served and it was time to get a new pair. Too bad my silver pair was no longer available in my size and so I got a new pair in gold this time and when I unpacked it at home, there was a sweet note from Koko, as always.

In airsoft warfare, your battery is what determines whether you win or lose your battle. The last thing you need, with an enemy player in your sights, is a battery that can't deliver the required output for player elimination. So, your airsoft battery and charger are essential for all player who wants to remain competitive and on top.
The most common airsoft weapons in use today are AEG (Airsoft Electric Guns), and here at Vapextech, you can find the exact battery to match your gun. Our batteries deliver the absolute maximum performance and output ensuring you never fall short.
Here at Vapextech, we offer a range of Airsoft, BB Gun Batteries and Model/RC Cars, available in our online store. We supply a wide variety of battery types, ranging from Li-Po, Ni-Mh, Li-Fe, and more.
When it comes to airsoft it's all about performance and how long your weapon can sustain that performance. The rate of fire (ROF) and overall performance and durability of an airsoft electric gun (AEG) have a direct connection with the power and capacity of your battery.
Here are our tips for picking the right battery
We recommend upgrading all 8.4V low-performance battery and cheap chargers that tend to come with the weapon as standard, for a battery with better performance and durability. Opt for at least a 1600 mAh or higher rating for AEG rifles.
Alternatively, a 9.6V NiMH battery is recommended for powering an AEG with feet per second (FPS) output rating over 350.
Certain AEGs equipped with a high torque motor may allow a lower power battery pack to be used at the cost of rate of fire (ROF).
Finding the balance between ROF and FPS of your rifle is critical. Expect to use a higher power battery as the FPS increases to prevent potential gear locking. Avoid using batteries not suited to your gun or running lower power batteries. At Vapextech we strike this balance by offering batteries that deliver maximum performance on all fronts. So, you're guaranteed not to be let down on the battlefield.
Our batteries have a wide range of applications, ranging from actual AEG batteries to batteries for RC and model vehicles such as boats, planes, drones and cars. If you'd like to know more about our battery outputs, power capabilities and uses. Then speak to the team at Vapextech. We are the UK's largest importer of Vapextech batteries and have found these batteries to be far superior to others on the market.

Abacus Finance Group was the Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger for $20 million in senior secured credit facilities to back the recapitalization of AccountabilIT by WestView Capital Partners. Abacus also made an equity co-investment to support the transaction.
AccountabilIT is a provider of outsourced IT services to middle-market companies as wells as small and medium-sized businesses. The company provides a range of outsourced IT services including cloud transformation, managed public cloud and hybrid cloud infrastructure management, application management, database administration and cybersecurity. The company, led by its CEO and founder Chuck Vermillion, was founded in August 2016 and is headquartered in Scottsdale, AZ (www.accountabilit.com).
"It was great to work once again with the WestView principals, some of whom we have known for more than a decade," said Tim Clifford, President and CEO of Abacus Finance. "They have consistently brought us attractive opportunities like AccountabilIT that align well with our investment strategy."
Proceeds from this investment were also used by AccountabilIT to acquire Little Rock, AR-based ClearPointe Technologies, a provider of IT managed services for data center environments around the world. The company, led by CEO Jeff Johnson, currently manages servers, applications, and connectivity in both public and private clouds, hybrid clouds as well as on-premises data centers (www.clearpointe.cloud). The buy of ClearPointe is the second acquisition for AccountabilIT since its founding in 2016. "There are tremendous synergies by combining our two organizations," said Mr. Johnson. "ClearPointe is a leader in Microsoft centric services including Azure-based solutions and Azure management. AccountabilIT's competencies in application management, database administration, Linux administration and managed security are the perfect complement to our services."
"We have enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Abacus," said Westview Principal Greg Thomas. "As in past transactions, they took the time to fully understand the cash flow needs of the business and provided a flexible financing solution that supports growth."
WestView makes majority and minority investments of $10 million to $60 million in lower middle market growth companies. Sectors of interest include business services, software and IT services, consumer, healthcare technology and outsourcing and growth industrial. Target companies will have operating profits between $3 million and $20 million.
Abacus provides cash flow-based senior financing to private equity-sponsored, lower-middle market companies that have EBITDA between $3 million and $15 million. Debt facilities can be as large as $60 million with a typical hold size ranging from $10 million to $30 million. New York-based Abacus was formed in June 2011 and is an affiliate of New York Private Bank & Trust (www.abacusfinance.com).
"We were extremely impressed with AccountabilIT's senior management team," added Sean McKeever, Abacus Managing Director & COO, "and are excited to be their financing partner as they embark on the next stage of growth. As in other transactions, our success was a function of our speed, flexibility, and certainty of close – key aspects of what we call our Total Partnership Approach."
"The decision to select Abacus Finance for this transaction was easy," said WestView Managing Partner Richard Williams.
WestView manages approximately $1.7 billion in capital across four funds and is headquartered in Boston (www.wvcapital.com).

Remembering Ed Reynolds, a FirstNet Pioneer
The First Responder Network Authority team is deeply saddened to hear of the passing of former Board member Ed Reynolds on New Year's Day. Ed was inducted into the Wireless Hall of Fame just a few months ago after an accomplished career in wireless technology spanning several decades.
Ed had the distinction of being a founding member of the FirstNet Board, serving during our startup days through the launch of the Network in early 2018. He was a dedicated and valuable member of the Board's Technology and Finance committees during that time.
I was fortunate to work closely with Ed at the FirstNet Authority; it was truly an honor and a privilege to share his passion for making the Nationwide Public Safety Broadband Network a reality. He valued the contribution the Network would provide to first responders and the impact it would have on the safety of communities across our Nation.
Just as first responders are dedicated to their jobs, Ed embraced the FirstNet mission and brought a "can do" approach to everything he worked on at the FirstNet Authority. Ed relished the dynamic challenges we faced and, being an engineer and an innovator, we could always count on him to design a path to success for us.
Many will remember Ed for his unparalleled telecom expertise and the technical contributions he brought to the FirstNet Authority. Others will point to his desire to put advanced technologies in the hands of public safety so they could better, and more safely, accomplish their lifesaving work. For me, what stood out the most was Ed's calm, poised, and practical demeanor. Through all the challenges we faced, Ed remained focused, resolute, and determined to drive us to the best solution for public safety.
I am proud to see Ed's commitment to public safety carry on today at the FirstNet Authority. Thanks to Ed's leadership and that of those who served on the Board with him, we have a distinct "public safety first" culture.
To learn more about the life of Ed Reynolds - the devoted husband, father, volunteer fireman, and telecom hall of famer - I encourage you to read this announcement about his passing:
Thank you,

On Monday (May 14), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the federal ban on sports gambling is unconstitutional in its New Jersey case.
This 25-year-old federal law prohibited sports betting on college and professional sports outside of Nevada. The case known as Murphy v. NCAA was ruled 7-2 and now opens the door for other states, particularly in regards to legalizing sports betting as a way to generate government revenue.
This all stems from a 2014 legal battle with New Jersey and the 1992 Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA), which banned wagering on single sporting contests except in Nevada, according to Huffington Post.
In 2012 and 2014, New Jersey passed laws to legalize sports gambling but it was blocked by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit, which ruled PASPA prohibited states from allowing gambling on sports. New Jersey came back with a lawsuit claiming it was unlawful for the federal government to enforce regulation of activities that Congress wouldn't police itself.
New Jersey wrote in its opinion in court: "Congress can regulate sports gambling directly, but if it elects not to do so, each State is free to act on its own. Our job is to interpret the law Congress has enacted and decide whether it is consistent with the Constitution. PASPA is not."
New Jersey's new sports gambling law will go into effect almost immediately. The new decision opens the opportunity for other states to legalize the practice.
