It's the debut of an ambitious new science fiction limited series from the creative team of 100 Bullets!
Credits & Solicit Info:
Written by BRIAN AZZARELLO; Art by EDUARDO RISSO; Cover by DAVE JOHNSON
– the Eisner Award-winning creators of 100 BULLETS – return to Vertigo with a new 9-issue miniseries, kicking off with a debut issue priced at just $1.00!
Set in a post-apocalyptic near future, SPACEMAN tells the story of Orson – a hulking, lonely loser who spends his days collecting scrap metal and dreaming of the startrekking life he was promised.
That is, until he finds himself at the center of a celebrity child kidnapping case. Seeing his chance to be a hero, Orson takes matters into his own hands...but will his actions only cause more heartbreak?
Vertigo 32pg.
Color $1.00 US
Mature Readers

"It's the same fuck old day it always is."
When they worked on 100 Bullets, Brian Azzarello, Eduardo Risso, and the rest of the creative team immersed their character arcs in a larger societal context, creating a fully-realized world that basically serves as a twisted mirror image of our own. Now they've done that again, but from a very different perspective, in Spaceman #1, which takes place in a far flung future that may illustrate where we as a society are heading.
The story follows Orson, a poor, primal-looking dreamer who was created in a lab to go to Mars, but is stuck hauling scrap for a mere pittance. Meanwhile, a young, would-be adopted child/reality show contestant is stolen from a celebrity couple in a case that captivates the nation. The two storylines chug along through the issue until they converge on the last page, introducing the plot of the nine-issue series after spending a lot of page space introducing the dark messy world of the story and the colorful, off the world characters.
Orson's life is a pathetic struggle and, even in his imaginations, nothing is easy. It's a tough world after all, rendered in harsh reds and dank, muddy tones clashing with overbearing shadows. Eduardo Risso is one of the best visual storytellers in all of comics and Trish Mulvihill complements his sensibilities perfectly. The sequences on Mars (actually in Orson's head) are wide open and expansive while the earth-bound scenes are tight and almost claustrophobic. The world just looks so oppressively garish and dark in Spaceman #1 that you can feel the grit and smell the sewage in the water. It's a lifelike, breathing comic that envelopes you with its story. Orson himself is quite a creation. Resembling a humanoid ape at the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey, he's a character that seems to personify the failed dreams of the now neutered space program in the US. Modern thought about space travel, with mythology littered with apes who have been rocketed into the atmosphere, takes on an air of "why bother when there are so many problems here on Earth?" in the minds of many, and this issue taps that vein to great effect.
Writer Brian Azzarello's greatest gift, aside from thinking about the big picture in his stories, is the way he works with language, and he gets to display that aptitude to great effect here. The class distinctions and grit of everyday life is built into the lexicon used by all of the characters in the issue. Orson and the urchins in his company use a dialect that functions similarly to the Nadsat devised by author Anthony Burgess in that each bit of affected speech needs to be read in context to understand its meaning (much like Azzarello's stories on the whole). It makes for an intense, almost interactive reading experience.
Spaceman #1 is a deep, dense comic that's absolutely thrilling to read. It takes place in a world that resonates deeply with the modern reader. It's textured, stylish, and insightful, and if this first issue is any indication, the series looks to be the next great work by this creative team.

Citi Up 5% After Layoff News…But Big Banks Still in Trouble
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Here's one way to announce yourself: New Citigroup Inc. (C) CEO Michael Corbat said this morning the bank will cut more than 11,000 jobs. Investors seem cheered by the news, with the stock up more than 5% at the latest.
The layoffs will contribute to a fourth-quarter pre-tax charge of $1 billion, said Citi, though they project they'll lead to $900 million in savings next years and annual savings of $1.1 billion from 2014. Bloomberg notes the redundancies amount to about 4% of Citi's workforce.
Shares of Bank of America Corp. (BAC) are also rising, up 4%.
It goes without saying that these are tough days for the two banks. Though BofA stock is up more than 80% this year and Citi's has risen about 35%, both are still well below their pre-financial crisis levels and don't look likely to get back there any time soon.
As Christine Harper and Yalman Onaran write, on top of everything else the biggest banks are grappling with increased national regulations aimed at avoiding the dangers we all saw in 2008.
The failure or near-failure of banks in nations such as the U.S., U.K. and Switzerland, as well as smaller countries such as Iceland and Ireland, taught regulators that companies once seen as a source of national pride can lead to hand-wringing over how to protect taxpayers.
"For the foreseeable future, then, our regulatory system must recognize that while internationally active banks live globally, they may well die locally," [Fed Governer Daniel Tarullo] said.
(You can read Tarullo's full speech on bank regulations here.)
The question is whether there will be actual, tough regulations with teeth. As Yves Smith has argued, it's too early to say (despite what is being said) whether post-crisis regulations are limiting the banks. And they do have fallback options -- Sree Vidya Bhaktavatsalam wrote yesterday that banks are taking another look money management for revenue.
Still, it's clear that the big boys feel they are in trouble -- witness a recent Deutsche Bank (DB) study that argued in favor of 'universal banks'. Perhaps in a reflection of the today's climate, I'd argue more people agree with Chris Whalen's epic takedown of the DB report than the original's argument:
The [too big to fail] banks are parasites that drain resources from society. This ridiculous, self-serving analysis by one of the most hideous examples of "too-big-to-fail" makes that point nicely. Indeed, as one reads the DB report, it is tempting to laugh – were the subject no so sad and so serious.

I did find Virginia marriage records for two of her daughters and found that her middle initial was F. It possibly stood for Frances. A genealogy submitted to the FamilySearch website lists her parents as Abraham Beard and Mary King.
I do know that Elizabeth and Samuel moved to Johnson County, Missouri sometime between 1870 and 1880. At least two of their married daughters and their families moved along with them. By 1900, Elizabeth was widowed and living with her daughter. She died in 1901 and is buried next to her husband in the Kingsville Cemetery, Kingsville, Missouri.

Racing season is in full swing, and the need for volunteers to safely and effectively stage events can be a daunting task for many race directors.
During the last decade, I have been impressed and inspired by the dedicated volunteers of Durango Motorless Transit who repeatedly give of their time to ensure others experience the gratification of competing.
As a nonprofit organization, the running club relies heavily on volunteers to maximize race proceeds toward sustaining the Marc Witkes FLC Memorial Cross Country Scholarship and for supporting various nonprofits in our community.
Volunteering, especially within the context of an activity you love or a cause you embrace can be extremely gratifying.
Jigger Staby has been the DMT membership coordinator for five years and a regular presence at race registrations, packet pickups and finish lines. Being passionate about something and feeling like you are making a difference are a couple of reasons Staby cites for her motivation to volunteer.
The running club struggles with building a larger pool of volunteers by continually evaluating how we can make volunteering more enticing.
Its important to help people understand the value of their efforts, Staby says. We need to appeal to the sense of being a community that involves everyone doing just a little to help the whole.
Many organizations have volunteer-recognition events or provide incentives to attract more volunteers. In these busy and economically stressed times, maybe the nature of volunteering has changed from an intrinsic desire to give back into more of an extrinsic need to be recognized for your efforts.
Matthew Krichman, race director for the Steamworks Half Marathon, remembers when he was younger thinking that volunteering was tedious.
Someone else (parent, teacher) was always choosing the volunteer activity for me, Krichman says. The key was to find something I was passionate about, like running. Volunteering at races is like hanging out at a party everyones happy and excited, so it really doesnt feel like work.
In addition to the fun aspect, Krichman feels good to be able to give his time to a worthy cause.
Knowing that my work is helping raise money for a scholarship fund or for the Manna Soup Kitchen makes it really worthwhile, he says.
Building a larger and more-varied volunteer pool is the goal of many nonprofits, and suggestions abound when the dialogue begins. Encouraging people by offering incentives is one piece of a very complex puzzle.
A good rule is asking runners that once they have run a particular race three times, that the fourth time they volunteer instead, Krichman says. They may not even need to sit out. They can help on the days leading up to the race or help take down the course afterward.
DMT board member Jim Nichols suggests: I would advocate for giving them something like a coupon for a reduced fee on their next race entry or something to reward them for helping.
Its definitely a topic we will continue to revisit in an effort to bring awareness to the need for more volunteers to sustain the many events we offer. We welcome suggestions for building our volunteer pool and encourage those who have not volunteered to consider giving back to the sport they love.

I want to wish everyone a very happy New Year, and it looks like 2013 will be a better year.
As we leap into the New Year, take a look at our vital local marine businesses and think about all the local jobs that are created in and around Newport Harbor. Just reflect for a moment on the people you know personally who are somehow related to boating in their work, and then think about how this area would be dramatically different if boating were to vanish.
I spend a large amount of time keeping informed of boating news, not only locally in our harbor but nationally. We have to think globally and look forward to the advancements in other parts of the world in boat design, construction, environmentalism, trends, and safety — to mention a few.
In last week's column, I left you with a poem. Well, for New Year's Eve, here is my annual Captain's Log, past to future.
Captain's Log:
Time — 00:01 on Jan. 1, 2012
After checking the integrated navigational equipment including the long range and short range radars aboard this mega-yacht, I scan the horizon for other boats with the night vision cameras. I see that we are all alone tonight on the ocean as we cruise back to the harbor on our final leg of a long voyage, and on the bridge's security monitors, I can see my crew members cheering in the New Year.
I know the onboard celebration will not disturb anyone while cruising 100 nautical miles off California's coast with the moon reflecting off the ocean. The yacht is on a course, but all of a sudden out of nowhere a nameless ghostly ship sides in on a very close parallel course.
Curiously, I come alongside their beam, and I step out on the bridge wing where I can faintly see the New Year's celebrations onboard the dark, shadowy ship. It looks like a reflection of New Year's past aboard an ancient wooden Brigantine. I see the captain trying to steer the large wooden wheel as he fights each pass swell while watching a crude compass and reading hand-drawn charts that resemble worn treasure maps. Also, I can see the crew cheering in the New Year with mugs of rum being poured from barrels while someone is playing a fiddle.
Oops, I almost hit the side of the cruise ship. I correct my course and check my electronics but I do not have any targets on my radar, not even this ship.
As I regain course while glancing at a porthole, I can see what looks like the reflection of New Year's future.
Sleek, fast cruising yachts built with accommodations equaling five-star hotels. Now, the captain is talking on a satellite phone while monitoring the multifaceted electronic displays that control everything on the vessel with just a touch on the view screen.
The charts are interactive and the heads up displays are showing information from other vessels in the area via an interfaced satellite Internet system.
The captain's eye patches have been replaced with thermal imaging equipment.
In lieu of the fiddle for entertainment, the crew is watching the Boathouse TV Show on a high-definition satellite television while the chefs prepare the dinners from an extensive menu.
Hey, is that a — oops, I almost skimmed the side of the ghost ship again when I am suddenly awakened from my nap from the Global Positioning System chart plotter beeping warning that the harbor entrance buoy is nearing. I glance from the bridge's soft leather couch to see my first officer standing his watch. I know we are getting close to the harbor as I can see the lights on the buildings out of the bridge windows.
As I rise to take the conns to enter the harbor, I cannot help to scan the radars and the horizon for that ship — or was it just a dream?
"All safe, yacht is securely moored at home slip."
End Captain's Log:
I can imagine that the New Year will bring new innovations and new boaters onto the waters, where I hope you welcome the past, present and future. As I sign off for my columns of 2012, don't forget: Tune in to the No. 1 boating radio talk show in the nation, Capt. Mike Whitehead's "Boathouse Radio Show," broadcasting coast-to-coast on the CRN Digital Talk Radio syndicated network at noon Saturdays and replayed throughout the weekend.
Safe Voyages!
Editor's note: Capt. Mike Whithead publishes this column annually to ring in the new year.

Buy Wartrol And Say "Bye, Bye" To Those Embarassing Warts!
>>> CLICK HERE to purchase from the official website
Warts are not only embarrassing, but they are unsightly. There really is no two ways about it! Below we will look at why you should buy this popular wart remover if you are serious about getting rid of these ghastly things permanently.
What is Wartrol?
It is a safe and effective way to get rid of warts. This clinically proven product has received high praise for years as an effective wart removal product and contains safe FDA approved ingredients.
Many of the same ingredients which dermatologists and doctors use to remove genital warts in their surgeries are included in this formula.
Due to the unique blend of ingredients, and all-natural oils this wart cream contains, it helps to initiate a process called Keratolysis.
This is a process which works at the source of the wart by thinning the tough layers of skin which are produced by the HPV virus. It then continues its work to get rid of them in a safe and pain free way.
Let us now have a look at some of the common forms of warts as this may help you identify any you have:
Different types of warts:
Here are just four types of common warts that many people suffer from.
Common Warts
You will find these mainly on your hands although they can appear in other areas of you body.
Flat Warts
Flesh in colour, you will generally find these on your wrists, hands, neck and face.
The last two types of warts we will look at are:
Genital Warts
Although these are not visible (unless you are particularly intimate with someone!) they can be quite embarrassing.
As the name suggests, you will find these in your genital area, and it should be noted that despite what many people think, they do not only affect men. There are a few genital wart creams out there but none are really that effective.
Periungal Warts
This type of wart (verruca) can be extremely ugly. They look like a cauliflower, and this is because they are a cluster of warts. Most people who suffer from Periungal warts have them around the neck area.
>>> CLICK HERE to STOP warts from making your life difficult
Why order this wart remover?
Besides its proven effectiveness to remove warts safely, you should consider advantages like:
You can use this cream in the privacy of your own home at a time that suits you.
Many people are put off going to their doctor or a specialist due to feeling embarrassment about their warts. This is particularly true with genital warts.
By using this treatment you can forget about the expense of a doctor's prescriptions, or the fact that some people actually pay thousands of dollars to have their warts professionally removed.
Also, the official manufacturer constantly runs special deals all the time (you don't even need a coupon, the price you get is the best one, all the time), which helps you save even further.
Bottom Line
I mentioned at the beginning of this article that warts are unsightly, and can be extremely embarrassing, so anyone with warts really should be looking at getting rid of them.
When you order this homeopathic medicine you will find that wart removal can be an easy and painless process which works extremely effectively to ensure you get rid of those warts once and for all.

People don't come up with nonsense if there's no reason for.. that for signing up and writing annoying things takes just too much time for most people (well there's one known exception). It's the internal problems this project has which reflects to the outside world. You, I and several others are also part of that problem, and at least to me it seems to be unsolvable the way it is at the moment. If you remember the words you've written a few weeks ago that you'll never ask Mauro to pull your code, but you fight for your code which you have committed earlier to the v4l-dvb project and don't accept patches which have been written by others (eg. Trent). Either you're overloaded with what you're doing or just try to take care that everything you ever touched belongs to you and noone has access to it .. I don't know. Markus

Subsea Insulation and Buoyancy Solutions
As one of the largest manufacturers of subsea insulation and buoyancy products in the world, we have extensive experience in deepwater buoyancy solutions. Our dynamic flotation technologies like C-FLOAT uses syntactic foam that is inherently impact-resistant and damage-tolerant and offers extra durability because of its rugged design.
Drilling riser buoyancy modules with C-FLOAT technology
C-FLOAT drilling riser buoyancy modules are designed to be easy to lift, store and handle. They work together with other rig equipment. Integrally molded flexure lugs inside the modules isolate bending to avoid damage to the riser or buoyancy module. Built-in lift points mean safe, quick handling. Smooth outer contours with recessed hardware minimize the chance of hang-up. Unique self-shoring features prevent modules from rolling on the rig deck and allow safe stacking.
Construction Options
C-FLOAT drilling riser buoyancy modules are built to take the daily wear and tear of shipboard storage and handling. All standard C-FLOAT modules include our proprietary High Integrity "HT" construction with internal reinforcement for extra safety even if the module is damaged. Additional strength, impact resistance, and longevity can be provided by Ruggedized , including options that incorporate aramid and/or metal reinforcements engineered into the module structure.
C-FLOAT Drilling Riser Guard
C-FLOAT drilling riser guards make possible the safe and easy handling of "slick joints" (riser joints not equipped with buoyancy modules) onboard a drilling rig at sea. Riser guards are strong yet lightweight accessories that do not add or subtract buoyancy to or from the drill string. Riser guards are designed to stack securely and prevent joints from shifting or rolling during storage and handling. Riser guards protect the riser choke and kill and auxiliary lines against damage while running or retrieving the riser. Riser guards are designed with dimensions to match standard C-FLOAT buoyancy modules. Riser guards are carefully vented and ported to ensure proper operation of dump valves, telescopic joints, and other special purpose parts of the riser string.
C-FLOAT Applications Product Purpose Drilling riser buoyancy modules and riser guards Support drilling and production risers down to 14,000 feet. Hybrid riser tower buoyancy modules Support production risers at all depths down to 14,000 feet. Distributed riser buoyancy modules Provide buoyancy to flexible risers, hoses and pipes in deep water Turret buoyancy modules Provide buoyancy to turret mooring systems Mooring buoys Provide buoyancy for permanent mooring lines. Installation buoys Provide temporary buoyancy during installation of subsea equipment. Special purpose buoys Provide buoyancy for special subsea requirements
Frequently Asked Questions
Does AFGlobal manufacture buoyancy with strakes?
Yes, we manufacture buoyancy modules with strakes to eliminate vortex induced vibrations. VIV strakes are the most common method of reducing VIV on jumpers, risers, or any cylindrical object. The buoyancy modules incorporate extending fins that breakup the vortex and help eliminate added stress on the structure.
Why is an internal clamp used to attach buoyancy modules?
Flexible risers may have an insulating layer causing them to be prone to creep over their life cycle. To help eliminate this issue, the buoyancy modules are attached to the riser using an internal clamp manufactured with syntactic foam. Syntactic foam is highly resistant to deformation under hydrostatic pressure and strap tensioning. As a result, the clamp designs allow the module to optimally distribute the clamping force to the riser, and accommodate variations in riser ovality. In other words, the clamp ultimately eliminates slippage.

- Fight Insight: Carl Froch v Lucien Bute
Focused Froch should better ButeJosh Williams May 25, 2012
The IBF super-middleweight king meets a two-time world champion in Nottingham on Saturday - but despite decorated careers, both will feel determined to prove a point.
Lucien Bute, the unbeaten holder of the IBF crown, has yet to unequivocally prove his quality against the highest level of opposition. Carl Froch, meanwhile, will be desperate to make a statement after being schooled by former Olympic champion Andre Ward last time out.
"It was a very bad night for me against Ward and I've got a lot to prove now," Froch said. "This is the comeback from the bitter disappointment on that night in Atlantic City."
While Bute is the odds-on favourite, accusations of hand-picked match-ups have dogged him, and to some extent he remains an unknown quantity - so plenty feel that Froch represents real betting value at 17/10.
"I don't think Bute is as good as Ward and I'm not sure if he's as good as Mikkel Kessler or Andre Dirrell or Jermain Taylor [fighters Froch has faced]. I really don't because he's only fought Brian Magee and Glen Johnson," Froch said.
Drawing parallels between mutual opponents can be misleading, but it is worth mentioning that Froch has already defeated the two standout names on Bute's CV - and done so without too much trouble. No-one is going to dispute that Froch has been in the ring with tougher foes and, with the exception of Ward and Kessler, has found a way to triumph.
You sense that Bute, who has taken the unusual step of travelling to his opponent's backyard (although he has the safety net of a rematch clause back in his hometown of Montreal), feels he needs to prove his credentials as a title-holder - particularly if he wants to entice Ward into the ring. "He's never been on the road and defended his title like champions are supposed to do," Froch said. "So, I think he's in an important position where he's had to do that."
Credit to Bute for taking up the challenge, and in doing so he's leaving no stone unturned, reportedly going so far as training while a tape, which tries to recreate the raucous Nottingham atmosphere, blares out. He's even gone so far as to include the cover-your-ears shrieks of Rachael, Froch's wife.
It's crucial that Froch doesn't let the crowd's frenzy melt away his composure. He's a natural entertainer, putting himself in well-matched contests and using his barrels of bravery to keep coming at opponents. This is his first appearance back in Nottingham since October 2009, when he just about got the better of Andre Dirrell in a knife-edge battle, and he's going to want to impress.
"He is a complex kid, and if it doesn't go how he expects, he can get into the frame of mind like, 'I can't be a***d with the boxing and I'll just try and catch him with a big shot'," trainer Rob McCracken said. "Bute is very good at what he does and Carl has to be right on things."
Froch can't just go thundering forward into the line of fire, because Bute is a canny counterpuncher whose thundering blows to the body will reverberate down the legs. Although Froch doesn't possess one outstanding technical attribute, he does have a lot going for him: his chin and heart, mainly, as well as his versatility. We've seen Froch lurching forward on the front foot, and also dictating range off the back foot, as he did to brilliant effect against Arthur Abraham in 2010.
"I've learned how to box, be patient and I've improved my boxing ability and my overall ring crust," Froch said. "So, you're going to see that and solid maintenance after that."
Focus and patience are the two keys here for Froch if he wants to keep himself in the world title picture. Another loss would surely nudge him back towards the domestic scene, which might not be too damaging a prospect (at least financially), with bouts possible against, say, James DeGale or George Groves. But whether a proud man such as Froch would be able to stomach that supposed demotion is debatable.
He can avoid having to contemplate that prospect as long as he keeps his head in the Nottingham inferno.

Yes, you are probably right Martin. I didn't know much about the 802.3ad at all until very recently. But the iffy point seems to be the definition of a "single stream" Does it mean "all traffic from a computer" or "all traffic from one process" or "all traffic from one protocol" I guess that's the crucial question for my need right now. > This does not mean that you cannot do what you want: you need to use > round-robin mode (which AFAIK is still the default under Linux; > easy to test with crossover cables).

That brings me to the other question though? Does mode_rr "need" switch-support? (ah! perhaps you mean I'll get assymetricity? Transmit side load balancing but no receive side load balancing because the switch will insist on sending all packets to a machine over a single port. Unless my machine answered ARP requests from different machines with alternate MACs of its cards and thus fools the switch into. But I guess that's what mode=6 does! So I'm not even sure how that is different from mode_rr. I'm sorry I'm confused again! ) Aren't many of the modes designed to operate inspite of an ignorant switch?

I would decide, in this economy, solely based on employment prospects, average starting salary, vs. costs to you.
Well, they cost about the same. About 10% of the class is booted for academic reasons. NCCU is 87% on 9-month employment and CUNY is 92.4%, but CUNY does a better job tracking down the people for employment surveys, so I'd imagine that NCCU's numbers are actually lower. (People are less likely to respond if they don't have jobs.) CUNY sends a much larger chunk of the class to public interest and at both schools the strong majority of people stay in state after graduation. Neither disclose the average starting salary of their grads on the website, but CUNY is much more up front with employment data to students. Without scholarships, I'd choose almost exclusively based on geography for this one, with an edge to CUNY.

MURRYSVILLE, Pa., Oct. 3 (UPI) -- A Pennsylvania woman was awarded $100 in damages from Walmart over a 2-cent disparity between an item's tagged price and its scanned price.
Murrysville District Judge Charles Conway sided with consumer activist Mary Bach of Murrysville, whose civil suit against Walmart claimed the company intentionally charged 2 cents more for Banquet "Brown 'N Serve" sausage than the price on the tag at the location near Delmont, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review reported Monday.
Conway awarded Bach, whose suit alleged unfair trade practices, $100 in damages and $80 in court costs Thursday.
"This is the fifth lawsuit we've had against this store for the same problem," Bach said. "This isn't an isolated incident."
Walmart, which had claimed the price difference was the result of new packaging for the products, has 30 days to appeal the verdict.

Carbon Nanotechnology: Scientific and Technological Issues
Additional materials available (2)
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
Carbon nanotechnologies based on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and graphene (a single atomic layer of graphite) are being pursued for a wide range of technological applications ranging from chemical sensing to post-silicon nanoelectronics. A common thread is the need to atomistically understand the interactions between these novel carbon materials and their contacts and supports. To facilitate this effort we are using ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy (UHV STM) in conjunction with a new dry contact transfer (DCT) deposition process to provide an atomically clean look at these systems (image). For SWNTs, our observations show that there is a sensitive interplay between nanotube and substrate with preferred orientations that affect electronic properties. Using the atomic scale silicon surface modification process developed in our laboratory we are able to bandgap engineer the electronic structure of supported SWNTs. For nanometer scale single layer graphene sheets on H-passivated silicon we have observed quantum size effects in the form of a semiconducting gap that varies inversely with sheet size. A practical issue with STM as well as any scanned probe experiment is the quality of the probe itself. We have developed a new process for producing probes with 1 nm radii of curvature in any conductive material. This technology is compatible with large scale batch processing for display applicat ions.

Conn. football captain, 18, charged with fatally stabbing lover who didn't want to break up
BLOOMFIELD, Conn. – A Connecticut high school football player has been charged with fatally stabbing his lover with a steak knife after trying to end their relationship.
Bloomfield High School football captain Tarence Mitchell is charged with murder in the Thursday death of 27-year-old Ronald Taylor Jr. Mitchell is being held on $1 million bond.
WFSB-TV (http://bit.ly/18wQM3D ) reports court documents show 18-year-old Mitchell told investigators that Taylor got jealous when he texted girls. Mitchell says Taylor got angry when he tried to end their relationship, threatened him with a sword and bullied him on social media.
Mitchell says the attack began when Taylor hit him in the face. Mitchell told police he stabbed Taylor with a knife he had to defend himself.
Mitchell's mother says he's a good kid, not a murderer.

The Obama administration proposed yet another compromise on Friday in an effort to address the concerns of religious organizations that object to its policy requiring health insurance plans to cover contraceptives for women at no charge.
Under the proposal, female employees could get free birth control coverage through a separate plan that would be provided by a health insurer. The institution objecting to the coverage would not pay for the contraceptives. The costs would instead be paid by the insurance company, with the possibility of recouping the costs through lower health care expenses resulting in part from fewer births.

1. "I trained a whole weekend to learn this procedure."
Dentists, gynecologists, barely trained spa technicians — it seems like everyone's offering anti-aging treatments these days. And no wonder: Cosmetic treatments are a lucrative business, with $11 billion spent (on 14.6 million procedures) in the U.S. in 2012, up 5.5% from 2011, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. That's appealing not only to physicians hoping to offset the costs of higher malpractice premiums and lower reimbursements from insurance carriers but also to so-called medical spas that don't even have a doctor on site when certain treatments are administered.
Traditionally, doctors from just four medical specialties — plastic surgery, dermatology, otolaryngology (ear, nose and throat), and ophthalmology — have handled the bulk of cosmetic offerings, including everything from minimally invasive aesthetic treatments like botulinum toxin (sold under the brand name Botox) to more involved procedures like face-lifts. And those specialists spend years honing their chops in residency training programs that teach skills unique to each specialty in addition to basic surgical skills.
By contrast, those hoping to offer a little Botox in between filling cavities or giving Pap smears tend to opt for quicker training in cosmetic procedures, including weekend workshops offered by the International Society of Cosmetogynecology, an organization that promotes plastic surgery as an extension of gynecology, two specialties that are linked mainly by their female patient base. (Dr. Marco A. Pelosi III, a cosmetic gynecologist and founder of the association, says that the relevant skills and knowledge necessary to grasp and master the majority of common aesthetic contouring is easily understood and quickly learned, as the requisite skills are common to all surgery.)
Indeed, less formal training doesn't necessarily correlate to reduced proficiency. Experts urge consumers to look for physicians with extensive experience, which could potentially compensate for shorter training. Still, some experts worry that it's difficult for consumers to distinguish between hype and quality: "Unfortunately, this is an industry where the most creative, assertive, sexiest marketing often drives the business, but it may not be someone with the best experience," said David B. Sarwer, a professor of psychology at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania.

The third stop on the 2011 TransWorld TransAM tour touched off at Otsego Club, Michigan over the weekend. Who would've thought that a place called "Gaylord, Michigan" would be such a hotbed of shred, but this year's #3 more than kept up with the two epic East Coast stops (Waterville Valley and Big Boulder PARK) we've already witnessed this season. When the smoke cleared, another six names would make their way into TransAM lore, headed by Jen Cusick and Kyle Kearns, both punching their tickets to the 2011 Finals at Bear Mountain, CA.

Warning: Graphic Review! Please do not read if you are easily grossed out by bodily functions. This is a respectful and sincere review.
I am not fundamentally against sweet, mass-marketed fragrances. I am a huge fan of Sugar Lychee by Fresh, and though I'm not sure I would ever want to wear it, I am delighted by the crimson raspberry Jello scent of Escada's Cherry In The Air. That said, I still think that if you're gonna do a synthetic gourmand-floral fragrance, you should be mindful
Thank you Sarah Horowitz Parfums, for the lovely samples.
Perfect Vanilla opens with a strong amber-saturated vanilla, a powerful orange/yellow flower scented from orange sherbet, and a centrally heated, confined interior space with the faintest, almost undetectable trace of lemon disinfectant (buried under the dense vanilla cloud and sherbet layers).
This vanilla is warm and complex, but it is not subtle. It doesnt scream in the way designer vanilla frosting candy
Thank you so much for the sample, Charna Ethier.
Moss Gown is unquestionably "of the Earth." The ingredients are extremely high quality, and the fragrance is so transportive, that I think it should only be used in sacred ceremonies, which is not to say that it's not wearable. It is definitely accessible and delightful to wear.
It's the sweetness of dried grass and sunflower heads that drifts through an open barn door, where you stand in the shade next to
This is what I thought L'Artisan's Havana Vanille would smell like. This is a smoother, more harmonious, cohesive, and pricier version of the same concept. Like Havana Vanille, it too, does not smell like the most natural vanilla, though Un Bois Vanille is warmer and silkier, with the supporting notes lending the slightest amount of depth and complexity in a very complimentary way. That said, Un Bois Vanille still reminds me of a woman with a fresh blow out and highlights, wearing a Tiffany's charm
Thank you so much, Ineke for the gorgeous sample collection.
Gilded Lily is dark, sexy, and masculine, yet it miraculously manages to retain a powdery fresh quality, never becoming cloying or sour as it develops on the skin. It only continues to open ever more gracefully, warmed by labdanum in the base. This fragrance is unique and seamless from start to finish.
Gilded Lily perfume is a tough, beautiful, Japanese-Italian girl from Queens. She is exotic and petite,

I have recently drilled a hole in my living room floor.
It has only one purpose. Every time I see AT&T's ad for its Next upgrade plan, I disappear straight into this hole.
It doesn't always go down well with guests. Especially if I'm holding a glass of pinot at the time. But it has to be done.
The ad's been out for a few weeks now. Surely you've seen it. It's the one where people just can't tear themselves away from their iPhone 5Cs.
They miss buses, meetings, and their pets' funerals because they simply have to play with their iPhones just a little longer. (Actually, that last scene might be one I made up.)
Though I happen to think this ad is terminally painful, heinously sickening, and an exercise in psychotic baiting, I have to doff what's left of my forelock to those who made it.
It's been a long time coming. Apple softened us up with an ad that showed us how we photograph everything we see with our iPhones.
The conclusion to be drawn was surely that we are insane, insensitive, and we quite like it.
This AT&T ad, however, takes our gadget bias to new heights of truth. It shows that we really, really don't want to do anything but stare into, stroke, and be at one with our phones.
We don't care about anyone else, unless they're projected on our iPhone screens. You don't, in fact, exist, unless we see you on the Facebook app on our iPhone screens. And we'll tell you we've had enough of you by texting you from our iPhone screens.
The searing, devil-may-care chest-baring of this ad leaves us denuded of argument.
Finally, someone understands. Finally, someone gets just how much we need our iPhones in order to be our true selves.
You might think I have mislaid some inner juices, or merely lived in the Bay Area for too long.
But I present to you the reporting of my colleague Roger Cheng, who revealed on Tuesday that the Next plan, designed to keep you upgraded to the most recent gadget advancement, is exceeding expectations.
The sheer brazen honesty of this ad is working. The psychology of confronting you with your own truth, not the manufacturer's, is blazing a trail for future marketing.
You don't have to like something to understand how great it is. Think Kobe Bryant. Think Genghis Khan. Think hipsters.
Yes, this is the ultimate hipster ad.
All Marvel franchises ranked, from Avengers to Daredevil: How do the X-Men movies stack up to Iron Man, Spider-Man and *shudder* Ghost Rider? Just so happens we made a list.
How Muslim millennials are looking for love: Some call it haram (forbidden), but more Muslims than ever are turning to apps like Minder and Muzmatch to find romance.

This one, based on a model (click View in the priceline) we discovered at an antique tool auction, presents a particularly elegant method for bringing a pencil to a point. It has a concave support notch that neatly holds any standard wooden pencil, and a hinged lever arm with an integral blade that lets you shave the pencil end at an angle. You simply rotate the pencil after each cut until the tip is tapered to your liking. Shavings simply collect in the tray.
The sharpener is cast steel with a black gloss powder-coated finish. The three feet have high-friction pads to grip a desk or other surface, helping avoid shifting in use. A brass thumbscrew holds the sharpened spring-steel blade; when the blade becomes worn, you just slide it to either side to expose a fresh edge. Blades can be resharpened.
A fascinating and timeless design, which not only does a quick and superb job of sharpening pencils, but also serves as a unique glimpse into history.
Made in Canada.

Prosecuting HIV: Take the Test and Risk Arrest?
Summer 2011
Imagine meeting someone online, having a nice chat, and then deciding to hook up. You have HIV, but you're adherent to your meds and have had an undetectable viral load for years. You and your sexual partner use a condom. Sometime later, the partner learns you have HIV and presses charges against you for failing to disclose your HIV status prior to sex.
Your life is suddenly turned upside down, with your name and picture splashed across the media. You are called an "AIDS Monster". You and your family and friends feel humiliated and embarrassed. Your employment, housing, and relationships may be put in jeopardy and you need to find tens of thousands of dollars for legal fees for the impending prosecution.
If convicted, you face decades in prison, lifetime registration as a sex offender, and other restrictions; if acquitted, your life is still never the same, because you will always be known as the "AIDS Monster".
Think about that for a moment: Consenting adults. No intent to harm. Undetectable viral load. A condom was used. No HIV transmission. Twenty-five years in prison. This isn't hypothetical; it is exactly what happened in a recent case in Iowa. In fact, as of July 2009 Iowa had charged nearly 2% of all Iowans with HIV with similar crimes.
There have been hundreds of prosecutions for HIV crimes in the U.S., all over the country. As of today, 34 states and territories have HIV-specific statutes, but a targeted law isn't required to prosecute an HIV crime. These prosecutions usually have little bearing on the actual level of risk of HIV transmission, ignoring factors like whether a condom was used or the viral load of the person with HIV.
It's important that people with HIV and their advocates understand the issues at stake, the risk they present for people with HIV, and how they may undermine public health strategies to reduce HIV transmission. The issue is complicated, especially since the public is generally supportive of criminal prosecution of people with HIV who do not disclose their HIV status to a partner before sex. One study, from the University of Minnesota, showed that about 2/3 of gay men supported such prosecutions; among very young gay men, it approached 80%. Even among gay men with HIV, it was nearly 40%. Outside of gay men, it is likely that support for these statutes is even higher.
Criminalization supporters often believe these statutes are effective in reducing HIV transmission, but there are no data to support this; in fact, there is a growing body of research demonstrating that they do not reduce HIV transmission and may even contribute to its further spread.
A Viral Underclass
Since the earliest days of the AIDS epidemic, stigma has been a major obstacle to effective HIV prevention and care. Even as fear of contagion from casual contact has lessened over the years, profound stigma persists. People with HIV face judgment, marginalization, discrimination, and misunderstanding about the actual risks of transmission.
Many people with HIV internalize and accept this judgment, perpetuating the perception of those with HIV as toxic, highly infectious, or dangerous to be around. This has serious adverse effects on them personally, as well as for the broader effort to combat the epidemic while protecting sexual freedoms.
Stigma discourages people at risk from accessing care -- including testing for HIV -- and it discourages people who know they are HIV positive from disclosing to potential sexual partners and others. Much of this stigma is based in racism and homophobia.
Nothing drives stigma more than when government sanctions it by enshrining discriminatory practices in the law. That is what has happened with HIV, resulting in the creation of a "viral underclass" of people with rights inferior to other citizens. Stigma driven by HIV criminalization promotes illegal discrimination against people with HIV, including prohibitions on certain occupations and licensing.
After three decades of the epidemic, people with HIV continue to experience punishment, exclusion from services, and a presumption of guilt in a host of settings and for practices that are, for those who have not tested positive for HIV, unremarkable.
This is reflected perhaps most dramatically in the criminal prosecution of people who know they have HIV but are unable to prove they disclosed their status prior to sexual contact. The ostensible purpose of these statutes is to deter HIV-positive people from putting others at risk. The inherent problem with these laws is that they focus primarily on the existence of proof of disclosure, not on the nature of the exposure, the actual level of risk present, or whether HIV was transmitted. Consequently, as studies have demonstrated, they do nothing to advance their intended purpose.

text: WHITE PLAINS, NY—The YWCA of White Plains, NY, helped preteens lose 10 to 30 pounds during a three-week Fit Camp by teaching them how to change their eating habits and exercise. The campers worked out two hours per day by doing aerobic activities such as karate, swimming, spin and step. A social worker and a nutritionist discussed healthy lifestyles during the program, which is designed to emphasize fun, exercise, nutrition, education and the ability to overcome obstacles. Many of the children grew up in nutritionally weak homes and didn't understand how to portion their food intake prior to joining the program, says Steve Dwek, the fitness director at the YWCA.

LONDON -- The ITF says Brazilian tennis player Fernando Romboli has completed an 8½-month suspension for a doping violation.
The International Tennis Federation says Romboli tested positive for two banned diuretics, furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide, at a lower-tier ATP challenger event in Bogota, Colombia, on July 11, 2012.
The ITF says the 24-year-old player argued the substances came from a contaminated supplement that had been prescribed by a doctor and denied any intent to enhance his performance.
The ITF says it accepted Romboli's defense and gave him a reduced penalty because there was no "significant fault or negligence."
The 8½-month suspension was backdated to Sept. 1, 2012, and expired on Wednesday.

Don't Let Your Security Clearance Expire
Christopher Michel | Military.com
August 18, 2008
Eventually, the time comes for many of us to evaluate the marketability of the skills, qualifications, and experiences we have gained through government service. We hope a prospective employer will appreciate our proven leadership abilities, sharp intellect, and valuable training – fortunately, many do. One of the most valuable, and perpetually underestimated, qualifications that many of us bring to the table is our active security clearances. Today, thousands of employers are in a desperate hunt for cleared individuals to support a myriad of government agencies and programs.
Qualified job seekers will find they have a tremendous leg up on non-cleared candidates and, almost certainly, will benefit from a salary premium. Unfortunately, many people let their security clearances lapse. An active clearance is a commodity that must be actively maintained and managed.
With the global war on terror in full bloom, the creation of the Department of Homeland Security, significant increases in defense spending, and the growing intelligence community, there never has been a greater demand for employees to work on classified programs. This strong demand has put a significant strain on the Defense Security Service (DSS), the government agency responsible for conducting background checks for the Department of Defense and other agencies. In fact, a recent report on DSS indicated it had a backlog of more than 500,000 applicants. Unfortunately for government and civilian employers, it can take noncleared employees between six months and two years to receive a new clearance — an unacceptable time frame for many organizations that have significant contracts to deliver in the near term. In addition, the clearance process often is very expensive.
A government security clearance requires a periodic reinvestigation every 15 years for a "confidential" clearance, every 10 years for "secret," and every 5 years for "top secret." When a clearance is inactivated (because of switching jobs or leaving the military), it can be fairly easy to reinstate within the first 24 months, as long as that falls within the periodic reinvestigation window. After that, it becomes significantly more difficult. In other words, if your clearance is going to lapse, it is important for you to consider some options to reactivate it within the first two years.
How to Preserve Your Clearance
The easiest way to maintain security clearance is to take "cleared" positions with companies or government agencies. There certainly is no shortage of those opportunities today. A quick search among the nation's top job boards finds thousands of open positions for individuals with active clearances. The USAJOBS government job board lists more than 1,000 types of positions requiring some type of clearance – from the intriguing "supervisory" intelligence officer position at the Defense Intelligence Agency to the slightly more mundane "staff auditor". Utilizing GovCentral's government job search might lead you to your next career.
There are specialty staffing companies that assist defense contractors and government agencies to fill temporary and full-time positions with cleared individuals. "We provide our employees the opportunity to work on tremendously important client projects. In addition to allowing flexible work schedules, we work actively to ensure our employees are able to maintain their security clearances," said Bob Merkl, president of Secure IT Services, a staffing firm specializing in connecting cleared people with public- and private-sector opportunities. Companies seeking cleared candidates, he said, often pay a 5-20% salary premium.
Your active security clearance is one of the hottest tickets in town, don't let it expire.
