HOLYOKE -- Alex B. Morse was sworn into office Tuesday as the youngest mayor in city history at age 22.
Morse struck on themes of unity, dedication to restoring a strong school system, good relations between the community and police that will feature returns to foot and bicycle patrols and "rebranding" the city as a high-technology hub to boost economic development.
"It is time to eradicate the myth that people don't want to work and instead give them reason to work by giving them sound opportunities," Morse said.
Morse's remarks lasted about 10 minutes and drew standing ovations and cheers from a packed auditorium at Holyoke High School, 500 Beech St.
Morse noted he didn't win all the votes in the November election in which he defeated former Mayor Elaine A. Pluta on Nov. 8. But he said he would work for unity.
"We don't need to see eye to eye to walk hand in hand and we are never stronger than when we are united....Let us seize this moment. Let us all remember we are all Holyoke. If we remember that, there's no way we can fail," Morse said.
The ceremony included swearing in of the City Council and School Committee.
The City Council was scheduled to meet to elect a president. The competition is between Joseph M. McGiverin, a councilor at large who has been president 26 straight years, and Kevin A. Jourdain, a councilor at large since 1994.
My fellow citizens of Holyoke:
I stand before you today grateful for the trust you have placed in me and humbled by the scale of the task before us. I'd like to express my undying gratitude, also, to my family and friends who have encouraged me every step of this journey.
Today marks a turning of the page on the old ways of doing politics in this city. It has been many years since Holyoke has stood at the threshold of such transformation; and I, as your mayor, am honored to help shape Holyoke's future with you. The time for petty obstructions to progress is over. The time for waiting is past; the time for renewing our highest ideals and for remembering our better history is now. When I look at Holyoke today, I see what our Holyoke forebears saw when they created the Paper City of the World: a city of limitless possibility.
We have all heard those who say that Holyoke's best days are long past. We have heard that Holyoke's best bet is for us to just settle, and to resign ourselves to a future that is beneath our highest aspirations. For far too long, this narrative has pervaded this city and the morale of its people; too many have internalized these notions as true, as somehow inescapable realities of the Holyoke experience. As a result, many of Holyoke's citizens have been disheartened and discouraged; too many have been overwhelmed by the frustration of seeing their best efforts and hopes for Holyoke fail to result in real, substantive progress.
Now, I understand the magnitude of the many challenges before us, and I am mindful of my own limitations to remedy them. But I also understand that the days of resignation are over. In November's election, the citizens of Holyoke made their voices heard; and what those voices joined together to proclaim was that this election was – emphatically – about the future of the city of Holyoke. The voters rejected the gridlock and stagnation of the past. Today, we rededicate ourselves to the betterment of this community. We will not achieve every goal we desire in just one election or even one mayoral term. But I have no doubt that we will meet these challenges – boldly, fearlessly, and with the proud, fighting spirit that defines our people.
Throughout my time in this city, I have seen this spirit made manifest in the lives of ordinary citizens every day – people who often go unnoticed, but who contribute to our community in countless ways. And over the past year, as a candidate, seeing this spirit has never ceased to move me.
I saw it in the countless folks who stopped by headquarters, offering their help in myriad, small ways – people with their own busy lives who nonetheless sought to give support in whatever ways they could.
I saw it in the elderly man I met in the Flats – a man who could not speak a word of English, but who registered to vote for the first time in his life.
I saw it in the young kids – kids too young to even vote – who were enthused and impassioned about the capacity of our political process.
I saw it in a conversation I had with a woman in Elmwood Towers, in which she reminisced fondly about her days growing up in Holyoke, and who felt hopeful about the city's future.
And I saw it in a young couple I met while door-knocking – a couple that had just moved in and that, despite the prevailing stigmas about their new hometown, were overwhelmed by the sense of community and belonging they had already begun to feel.
My experience on the campaign reaffirmed my deeply held belief that Holyoke's greatest asset is, and has always been its people. And that Holyoke's citizens reflect both diversity and a shared destiny, an overarching sense of common purpose. As I stand before you today, I do not shrink from the tasks before us because I know these folks and each and every one of you will be with me every step of the way.
Let us guarantee for our children the right to a sound education, one that will prepare them to compete in a 21st century economy and to contribute meaningfully to our society. I stand before you today because of the education I received in the Holyoke public schools. I am a product of Holyoke schools from pre-school through my graduation at Holyoke High. My experience taught me that it truly takes a village to raise a child. And that, had it not been for the people who took responsibility for my education, I would not be here today. It is time to restore that sense of responsibility. It is time for us to remember the common stake we have in one another, and that we must be responsible for all of Holyoke's children, regardless of what they look like or what neighborhood they're from. I know this is possible because I've lived it. And when I look at my parents here today, I know that they never would have imagined that their child would one day be their city's mayor.
Next, let us lay the foundation for economic growth that can be sustained over the long-term and that gives our youth good reason to stay and work in Holyoke. Because, let's be honest: what use will a good education be if our kids then find nowhere to work and contribute? Just as our predecessors saw in Holyoke everything they needed for the creation of the Paper City, I now see everything we need to become the Digital City, and for an economy based on art, innovation, and technology. The high tech computing center will be completed this year. And already, businesses are showing an interest in relocating to our community. For art and innovation, we need look no further than the talented folks already in this city, who need only be supported. Our people need a more conducive environment to create and imagine new ideas. It is time to eradicate the myth that people don't want to work, and instead, give them good reason to work, by providing sound opportunities for the future.
Necessarily connected to fixing our education system and cultivating economic development is the task of keeping our streets safe. We know that if kids have productive things to do, and meaningful opportunities, we can prevent them from seeking their livelihoods in crime. Looking at community safety requires a holistic approach, and we all know that if we foster a sense of community and reinforce the stake we all have in one another's lives, our city will be safer. But that requires time and the laying of firm foundations. Right now, we must begin to restore the relationship between our distinguished police officers and our communities. We must bolster neighborhood watch programs, increase bike and foot patrol, and provide common folks with a voice in providing recommendations to the police department. I will work very closely with both the fire department and the police department to make sure we come up with common sense approaches to keeping our people safe. Through these steps, I hope to rebrand Holyoke's image and to make our city an appealing place for businesses and visitors.
As we do these things – improve education, foster economic development, and ensure public safety – let our guiding light be a love for this city. Let us remember that we all want what's best for our hometown. And that in no other city in this nation are the people more considerate, generous, and compassionate. We hold values that are not subject to the changing winds of time; they endure and continue to define us. Our resilience. Our pride. Our concern for the plight of others. The belief that when hardship befalls one of us, it affects us all; that your child's education matters just as much as somebody else's child's, or as much as my niece's and nephew's; that public safety in our downtown matters as much to residents of Ward Seven as it does to residents of Ward One. As Holyokers, we recognize that we cannot walk alone. I know there are many whose votes I have not yet earned; and that, despite our best efforts, we will not always agree with one another. But I also know that we don't need to see eye-to-eye to walk hand-in-hand; and that we are never stronger than when we are united.
The work begins today. And we begin our work knowing that we are part of a process that is larger than ourselves, and that will continue long after we're gone. Before us is the opportunity to shape this city's future for generations to come. Let us seize this moment. Let this term be remembered as the time Holyoke began to make inroads in its longstanding challenges, and paved the way for a safer, more just, and decent community to unfold – one that is worthy of its proud citizens. Lest we forget, we are Holyoke. As long as we remember that, there is no way we can fail.
Thank you, Holyoke.

Moby Says 'Disband The RIAA' For Winning $1.92 Million From Jammie Thomas
from the representing-the-artists?!? dept
argh. what utter nonsense. this is how the record companies want to protect themselves? suing suburban moms for listening to music? charging $80,000 per song?This isn't new territory for Moby. Way back in 2003, he got angry after finding out that some of his songs were being used by the RIAA to sue people, and stated: "I'm tempted to go onto Kazaa and download some of my own music, just to see if the RIAA would sue me for having mp3's of my own songs on my hard-drive."
punishing people for listening to music is exactly the wrong way to protect the music business. maybe the record companies have adopted the 'it's better to be feared than respected' approach to dealing with music fans. i don't know, but 'it's better to be feared than respected' doesn't seem like such a sustainable business model when it comes to consumer choice. how about a new model of 'it's better to be loved for helping artists make good records and giving consumers great records at reasonable prices'?
i'm so sorry that any music fan anywhere is ever made to feel bad for making the effort to listen to music.
the riaa needs to be disbanded.
Still, we're seeing more and more artists react poorly to the RIAA, who still claims to represent them. Why is it that our politicians still buy that clearly incorrect story?

Looking for a private lender
My name is Roger, im a 37 tear old economist from Maracaibo, Venezuela currently looking for private lender(s) to fully fund my ecommerce websites project, looking forward for a $10,000 loan for at least 24 months (i can accept 36 motnhs) period and willing accept a 7.5% intrests rate (i could accept more depending on conditions and loan amount).
My project is based on a 12 month budget taking into account premium/paid tools and services needed to maximize the chances of success, im not talking about just one ecommerce website, i plan on having 2 or 3 websites up and running, professional looking and fully funcional in approximately 6 to 9 months but the first one will be up and running in less than 1 month and i will spend a big chunk of the budget building up quality and organic traffic mostly based on content, blog posting, guest blogging, social media marketing, forums, newsletters, email marketing, etc., this is where im going to be spending most of the time and money for the first 3-6 months, after that i while i would have a decent/solid email list i can start adding a couple of complementary ecommerce website related to the one, this way to "anchor" their growed based on the first one.
Below is a draft of my 12-month plan budget for this project and a repayment proposal..
I dont expect to generate revenue within the first 6 months of this project, i do however intent to repay the loan from the first month and every month. In the case the results surpasses the expections they will be used to re-invest in other premium/paid tools/services needed to fully feed and develop the sole foundations of the project and strengthen it moving forward to the future, tools/services such as marketing agencies to handle certain aspects of the busness such as SEO/SEM for example.
After the 6th month i expect the main site to be fully madure and with large enough traffic to generate at least $5,000 a month in net profits and also with the expectation of it to continue to grow month after month. On the 12th month, i expect to have at least 3 sites kicking in for at least $10,000 a month in net profit globally.
I rather not discuss in detail what are the ecommerce websites i have in mind about, prefer discussing that with potential lenders (Via PMs) so any non-potential lender please abstain to contact me just for the sake to pry, thanks in advance.

Cleaning Up Diarrhea
Topic Overview
It is recommended that you wear disposable gloves when cleaning up diarrhea or other body fluids. You may wear reusable rubber gloves if you wash and disinfect them after each use. If you don't have gloves, be sure to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water when you are finished.
To clean up diarrhea fromskin, such as on a person's bottom:
- Wear disposable gloves.
- Use damp paper towels to wipe up the stool, and put the used paper towels in a plastic trash bag.
- Gently wash the area with warm water and a soft cloth. Rinse well, and dry completely.
- Do not use any soap unless the area is very soiled. If soap is needed, use only a mild soap, such as Cetaphil.
- If there's a rash on the skin, do not clean the skin with wet wipes that have alcohol or propylene glycol. These wipes may sting the skin.
- Remove gloves, and throw them away in a plastic bag. Then wash your hands with soap and water right away.

- After you finish handling soiled clothes, remove your gloves and throw them away in a plastic bag. Then wash your hands with soap and water right away.
- Dry clothes in a hot dryer. Note: There is no need to disinfect the tubs of the washer or the dryer after a full cycle is completed.
To clean up diarrhea from hard surfaces, such as a toilet seat or the bathroom floor:
- Wear disposable gloves.
- Wipe up the stool with paper towels. Put the used paper towels in a plastic trash bag. Rinse the surfaces with water.
- Disinfect hard surfaces with diluted household bleach or with disinfectants that you buy at the store. To dilute household bleach, follow the instructions on the label.
- If you mix your own diluted bleach, use goggles or glasses to protect your eyes from splashes.
- Be aware that diluted bleach may remove colour from some hard surfaces.
- Remove your gloves, and throw them away in a plastic bag. Then wash your hands with soap and water right away.

Types of Surgery for Children
Types of Surgery for Children
What is surgical diagnosis?
You and your child's healthcare provider will discuss surgery as a way to correct your child's health problem. This decision will be based on careful evaluation of your child's medical history and medical tests. These include blood tests, X-rays, MRI, CT scan, electrocardiogram, or other lab work done during diagnosis.
What are the different types of surgery?
Surgery can be classified as major or minor, depending on the seriousness of the illness, the parts of the body affected, the complexity of the operation, and the expected recovery time.
Major surgery. These are surgeries of the head, neck, chest, and some surgeries on the belly. The recovery time can be lengthy and may involve a stay in intensive care or several days in the hospital. There is a higher risk of complications after such surgeries. In children, types of major surgery may include the following:
Removal of brain tumors
Correction of bone malformations of the skull and face
Repair of congenital heart disease, transplantation of organs, and repair of intestinal defects
Correction of spinal abnormalities and treatment of serious injuries
Correction of problems in fetal development of the lungs, intestines, diaphragm, or anus.
Minor surgery. Some surgeries that children undergo are considered minor. The recovery time is short and children return to their usual activities rapidly. These surgeries are most often done as an outpatient, and children can return home the same day. Complications from these types of surgeries are rare. Examples of the most common types of minor surgeries may include:
Placement of ear tubes
Hernia repairs
Correction of bone fractures
Removal of skin lesions
Biopsy of growths
Elective surgery. Elective surgery does not necessarily mean the surgery is optional. It simply means that the procedure is planned in advance. These are procedures you decide your child should undergo, which may be helpful, and may or may not be essential. An example might be to have a birthmark removed, to circumcise your male infant, or to have a spinal fusion to correct severe curvature of the spine.
Urgent or emergency surgery. This type of surgery is done in response to an urgent medical need, such as the correction of a life-threatening congenital heart defect or the repair of injured internal organs after a car accident.

UEFA Champions League: Olympiacos v Man United
Manchester United travel to Olympiacos in good spirits for the first leg of their last 16 UEFA Champions League tie on Tuesday.
It was always going to be a tough season for the three-times champions of Europe, with David Moyes facing the unenviable task of replacing Alex Ferguson.
United's Premier League form may be inconsistent, but Moyes' men have looked convincing in the Champions League, topping Group A, remaining unbeaten and conceding just three goals in six games.
Last Friday's news that striker Wayne Rooney had signed a new deal until 2019 was well received by the club's supporters and the United and England striker scored 24 hours later in a 2-0 victory at Crystal Palace.
Just as encouraging for Moyes is the return of Robin van Persie after a campaign that has been blighted by injury. The Dutchman has still managed to score 14 goals in all competitions this term, with four coming in his last five league games.
Moyes will check on the fitness of Phil Jones, Rafael da Silva and Jonny Evans, who all missed Saturday's win at Selhurst Park, while Danny Welbeck's knee injury looks set to keep him sidelined.
January signing Juan Mata is ineligible, having played for Chelsea earlier in the competition. In more positive news, Darren Fletcher has been added to United's Champions League squad.
United face an Olympiacos side that are coasting the Super League in Greece. Michel's men are unbeaten in the league since February last year and have this season amassed an astonishing goal difference of plus 69, conceding just nine goals.
Olympiacos made it to the last 16 in dramatic circumstances, finishing second in Group C behind Paris Saint-Germain to progress at the expense of Benfica thanks to a superior head-to-head record.
Michel's team could not be going into Tuesday's first leg in better form after demolishing OFI Crete 4-0 at the weekend, a game that included a hat-trick for Serbian striker Marko Scepovic. Like Mata, though, he is ineligible.
But the victory came at a price. Scepovic got his chance because of a thigh injury to forward Javier Saviola, who will now miss the match with United.
January additions Hernan Perez and Ivan Marcano are both available for Tuesday's clash, while Nelson Valdez also joined last month, but an ankle injury means he is a doubt.
The omens are not good for the Greek side. In four Champions League meetings with Manchester United, Olympiacos have been defeated four times, scoring just twice.

Green Machine: Tech & Accessories in a Hot Color

2. Baggu Emerald Pouch: Everyone needs a key ring. This one is perfect for storing a set of earphones or a thumb drive.
3. Bag'N'Noun Bag: For a tablet or laptops like the MacBook Air or Ultrabook, this canvas bag is a cute "napsac" to hold lighter tech in.
4. Heritage Computer Sleeve: We like the craftsmanship that goes into making these sleeves. They're fleece lined and fully padded with a charming little stitch inside that says, "Welcome to Herschel."
5. Warby Parker Nedwin in Summer Green: If you're like me and prefer wearing specs instead of contacts when working long hours in front of the computer, Warby Parker is my go-to for picking out a pair of nice ones.
Bottom Row:
6. Color Gen Lucent Jelly Ring in Emerald Green: Lucent makes hardshell bumper-like cases that come in jewel like colors.
7. Thoroughly Modern Musician Headphones in Sage: These headphones are modern yet still playful in this fresh Sage color.
8. Green Elephants Gadget Sleeve: I love this sleeve just because it has adorable elephants on it. OhKoey will make these sleeves based on the size of your e-reader.
9. iBeach Caribbean Green Phone Stand: Experience summer year-round with this adorable lounge chair turned phone stand. I like how you can place your phone both vertically or horizontally on this.
10. Colorblock iPhone Case in Vintage Kelly: The fashion world is in love with colorblock lately. J. Crew's got you covered if you want to keep your phone dressed in style too.

Al-Qaida's Rule of Threes
Why are all al-Qaida captives "No. 3"?
Some jobs just seem impossible to keep filled. Hollywood studio head. United States ambassador to Iraq. Editor of the New York Daily News. Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
To these we must now add "al-Qaida's No. 3 official." John Crimmings, proprietor of the New York-based Blogenlust, has been keeping track of al-Qaida third-in-commands captured or killed by our side, and counts no fewer than four.
There's Hamza Rabia, reportedly killed Thursday by an American missile. According to MSNBC, Rabia is said by two unidentified counterterrorism officials to be
head of al-Qaida's foreign operations, possibly as senior as the No. 3 [italics Chatterbox's] in the terrorist group, just below al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and his lieutenant, Ayman al-Zawahri. They are believed to be hiding in a rugged area along Afghanistan's border with Pakistan.
Before Rabia there was Abu Farraj al-Libbi, who as of May 5 was reported by Fox News to be held in Pakistani custody. Libbi (no relation to the recently indicted White House aide Lewis "Scooter" Libby) was said not to be "head of foreign operations," as Rabia reportedly was, but rather to be plotting attacks on the United States. Perhaps it amounts to the same thing. At any rate, al-Libbi, Fox reported, was "believed by U.S. counterterrorism officials to be Usama bin Laden's No. 3 man."
Before al-Libbi there was Abu Zubaida, whom Ruth Wedgwood of Yale Law School called "the number three in al-Qaida" on PBS's NewsHour. We don't seem to know much about Zubaida's job description beyond the fact that he was, as the Washington Post put it, "involved with the Sept. 11 plot," which is a bit circular; of course the No. 3 guy in al-Qaida would be involved in the Sept. 11 plot.
Before Abu Zubaida there was Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the "alleged mastermind" of the Sept. 11 attacks, according to Fox News, and also "Al Qaeda's No. 3 figure." Mohammed is also apparently al-Qaida's treasurer, having disbursed cash to Mohammed Atta. In one respect, Mohammed's job description is identical to Zubaida's: It apparently requires that the employee be subjected by Central Intelligence Agency interrogators to "water boarding," a form of torture—ahem, I mean interrogation—in which the subject is made to think he is drowning. No doubt the pension benefits have been adjusted upward to compensate.
The obvious question here is whether these four people successively held the position of No. 3 in al-Qaida—in which case, as Jon Stewart has observed on TheDaily Show, the job would appear to be "sort of a raw deal"—or whether counterterrorism officials are inclined to call any reasonably high-ranking Tom, Dick, or Harry "al-Qaida's No. 3" simply for the purposes of propaganda. Another possibility is that our side does this for the purposes of psy-ops, to create confusion among the al-Qaida rank and file about their own organization's true hierarchy. (It isn't like you can get Bin Laden to adjudicate turf wars every time confusion arises over the chain of command.) Yet another possibility is that al-Qaida's management hierarchy is ludicrously top-heavy, and that "No. 3" is a position held simultaneously by many people who in a similarly top-heavy corporation would be labeled "vice president." No matter what the explanation, it's clear that the sweet spot in al-Qaida management is No. 1 and No. 2. After that, job security seems only slightly better than that enjoyed by suicide bombers. My advice: Go with Procter & Gamble instead.

Numbers of heroes or sales?
I'm pretty sure most of the most notable GA heroes were created before the war/the US entered the war, and had origin stories not connected to fighting the Axis powers. Most of them were created to cash in on Superman's popularity.
by Arion » Sat Jun 22, 2013 8:43 pm
As long as he isn't a sugar daddy...
by Juan Cena » Sat Jun 22, 2013 10:41 pm
But the majority of the GA heroes (and the JSA in particular) didn't have written origins that were deeply connected to the War. It would be easy to set their origins 25-30 years in the past (which would actually put them in the Reagan era, not the 70's.) Alan Scott could still be a train engineer who gets his ring after a train accident. Kent Nelson could still be an archeologist's son transformed into Dr. Fate by Nabu. Jay Garrick can still inhale heavy water fumes. Those facts don't need changing.
Phanthom Lady and Starman never had origin stories until a)Sandra Knight was given one in Freedom Fighters, and b)Roy Thomas gave Ted Knight one in All-Star Squadron. Neither as I recall were war-related.
And outside of maybe Starman, I don't see that many problems with any of the character's look you mention not being able to work 30 years ago. This is the 80's we're talking about here, y'know (at least for now). Fashion took an acid trip that decade, remember?
by Arion » Sun Jun 23, 2013 6:17 pmJay Garrick inhaling stuff? Won't somebody please think of the children!?
by Juan Cena » Sun Jun 23, 2013 6:35 pm
It was an accident!
by The Old Doctor » Sun Jun 23, 2013 7:16 pm
You really are being obtuse here.
Uh, try again, Sandra had it in the first story as did Starman. Again both are set in that era, one that I have pointed out repeatedly has more to do with other than the war.
They are not that workable for that era and as it is, why bother when there are a ton of characters from that era that would work far better then the anachronism you trying to make. You basically are trying to get a 52 Earth 2 with just the names and a little bit of the cosmetics.
by The Old Doctor » Sun Jun 23, 2013 7:17 pm
He was smoking too. Had a bottle of booze...
by Juan Cena » Mon Jun 24, 2013 11:57 am
From Comic Vine
I was pretty sure Starman was never provided with an actual origin story in the GA, and didn't have one until Roy Thomas gave him one in All- Star Squadron.
First, you haven't given any evidence of an origin story so deeply ingrained in the 30's or 40's that it couldn't be updated to fit into a more slidable continuity. (The JSA's origin notwithstanding). I doubt that there's are a lot origin stories that couldn't be updated to where the essentials of the original story remain intact without the connections to a fixed historical era or event.
I haven't read Earth 2, so I'm not going to get into an argument there. I do know that what I'm suggesting is not as radical as some of the things Robinson has apparently done there.
by Juan Cena » Mon Jun 24, 2013 12:01 pm
Why not? A JSA that worked in the shadows as opposed to in the public eye would be a logical if you wanted a DCU where there weren't out-in-the-open before Superman.
by The Old Doctor » Mon Jun 24, 2013 12:20 pm
Not e the qualifier used - PROPER. Go look up Starman's first story, the origin is there. All Roy Thomas did was expand and embellish on the origins such as linking the two as cousins. You are still not responding to the question I asked a while back now. You continue to focus only on the origins and yet ignore all the factors involved in those characters and the factors that went into the origins.
Herald would be proud and so would many a politician. You keep trying to dodge the fact that the characters are tied to the era that they are made. It's intrinsic in the make up of all.
You want them moved so they can be mentors? Use characters that are of the era you want to use, instead of creating an anachronistic bunch as Smallville did.
by The Old Doctor » Mon Jun 24, 2013 12:27 pm
It wasn't logical as to work from the shadows while wearing bright colours... no it does not work. The JSA works only if they began in the actual era that they did. Unlike Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman.... all of whom were retweeked for the era they were in with re told and altered origins, motives, etc. ... the JSA did not have this so they really do not work. Legacies would work as they build on the original, yet what you want is basically pulling a 52 Earth 2 - using the names, sort of the concepts and a little bit of the cosmetics of the characters. Yet this was done in the late 50s and early 60s when Barry Allen, Hal Jordan, Ray Palmer all came along. There's no point.
Under the logic you keep trying to push, The Lone Ranger, Scarlet Pimpernel,Robin Hood and Zorro would all work today and any period. They don't.
You keep tweeking the character for today or the era you want them in, it becomes forced not to mention so altered, that there really is no point. Just make a new character or else... legacy from the classic.
by Juan Cena » Mon Jun 24, 2013 12:43 pm
Exactly which part of Starman's origin prominently depends on events of the 40's? That's the point you're avoiding.
And you're missing the point. This isn't about transporting the JSA into another era. It's placing them in a sliding timeline that constantly begins at a point twenty years or so from the Modern DCU's present. It actually restores the equilibrium that existed when the JSA first began appearing in the Silver Age, when the JSA began their careers about 25 years before Barry Allen and Hal Jordan appeared.
by Juan Cena » Mon Jun 24, 2013 1:03 pm
Maybe "shadows" wasn't the right word, but fighting crime outside of the limelight, being trye "Mystery-Men" where they were more urban legend is what I'm talking about. That's the only thing that would need tweaking if DC didn't want them to be the first out-in-public superheroes.
The essentials of Superman and Batman's origins haven't changed, though. Supes is still the survivor of a planet that exploded. Batman still witnessed his parents getting murdered. Diana's may have been the most altered of the three, but unless I missed it, she still came to Man's World after saving Steve Trevor's life.

Two men arrested as part of a synthetic pot bust in Asher have been formally charged in Pottawatomie County District Court.
Two men arrested as part of a synthetic pot bust in Asher have been formally charged in Pottawatomie County District Court.
Charges were filed in the case Friday against Young Soon Kim, 58, and Joon Hee Kim, 31, both of Asher.
Both were arrested as part of an undercover bust Aug. 30 involving the sale of K2 or "Spice," which is a synthetic — and illegal — form of marijuana, according to Pottawatomie County Sheriff Mike Booth.
A tip led deputies, along with a drug task force agent and Asher police, to the Circle B store at 815 S. Highway 177, which is also listed as their home address. Arrests followed an undercover buy.
Young Kim faces three felony counts — distribution of controlled dangerous substance, unlawful possession of controlled drug with intent to distribute and acquiring proceeds from drug activity.
Joon Kim faces two felony charges of possession of controlled dangerous substance and acquiring proceeds from drug activity. Joon Kim is accused of possessing synthetic marijuana and of having proceeds from distribution of the drug.
Young Kim, who Booth reported is owner of the store, is accused of knowingly distributing synthetic marijuana to a drug task force investigator, charges show. He also is accused of acting in concert with Joon Kim by possessing the synthetic drug and acquiring proceeds.
Charges were declined against a store employee who was initially taken into custody as part of the case.
The sheriff, who said the 3-gram packages were being sold for $20 each, reported the store, on average, was selling six packages each day. More than 55 packages were confiscated on the day of the arrests.
Undersheriff Travis Palmer said K2 effects can be stronger than marijuana and it is considered an illegal Schedule I drug.
According to the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs, K2 a synthetic blend of ethno botanicals found in herbs and plants and it is usually blended into a smokeable product that looks like a cross between marijuana, oregano, and tobacco.
According to reports online, K2 or Spice is sprayed with a synthetic compound similar to the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana.
Both Young Kim and Joon Kim posted bond and were released from the Pottawatomie County Public Safety Center after their arrests.
Their next court dates haven't yet been scheduled.
If convicted, the defendants could face varying ranges of punishment from two years to life in prison.

The wishlist has already reached the maximum number of products
The Panasonic PT-VX505NEA Portable Projector delivers superb performance in a compact body. This premium Portable Projector offers a powerful 5,000 lumens of brightness, and incorporates a variable iris that produces a high contrast of 4,000:1.
The PT-VW505NEA is versatile, and provides clear and sharp images even in brightly lit rooms. With the new Wireless Manager ME 6.0 the PT-VW505NEA Projector enables you to enjoy high speed wireless projection from multiple devices, creating smoother, more productive meetings with presentations from anywhere in the room.
The PT-VW505NEA rates highly in the Portable Projector category with its powerful brightness of 5,000 lumens.
The PT-VW505NEA also incorporates a variable iris that produces a high contrast of 4,000:1. Both aspects combine to provide brighter, sharper projection for versatile situations.
Panasonic's Daylight View Basic technology achieves sharp, easy-to-see images by clearly reproducing the details in dark image areas, which were previously difficult to see in brightly lit rooms.
A built-in sensor measures the ambient light, and the Daylight View Basic function adjusts the halftone colour and brightness level according to the surrounding illumination.
The PT-VX505NEA offers the convenience of high speed wireless projection from PCs and Laptops. Set up is extremely easy and multiple participants can bring and use their own Notebook for projection. PCs can be arranged in a flexible layout without passing around cables, allowing people to present from anywhere in the room. PDF files, JPEG images, web pages, and photos (taken with the built-in Camera on iOS devices) can even be projected by wireless transmission from iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch devices using the Panasonic Wireless Projector for iOS application.
Wireless Manager ME 6.0 application
provided with the Projector allows easy transfer*1 of data from the screen of a PC*2 through a PC's wireless LAN function*3. It can also be used to transfer audio files*4. Additionally, screen images from multiple Computers can be projected by using Multi-Live mode including Four-Window Multi Style, Four-Window Index Style and 16-Window Index Style. The latest Wireless Manager ME 6.0 greatly shortens the starting time and increases the transfer speed*5. The Graphical User Interface (GUI) has been redesigned to make operation simpler and easier to understand. This all combines to make presentations and lectures more flexible and effective.
The PT-VX505NEA provides a host of convenient wireless functions, including Live mode and Multi-Live mode. In Live mode, the image projected is identical to the image seen on the PC screen. In Multi-Live mode, you can wirelessly connect with up to 16 PCs at the same time.
The Panasonic Wireless Projector for iOS application, which is free and available from the App Store, allows wireless projection from an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. When images or document files*6 are opened, the image is sent to the Projector and displayed. Presentations can be done using only the Wireless Projector and an iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Various touch screen operations, such as rotating the direction of the screen, flicking to turn pages, and pinching to zoom in or out, are possible.
When not installing Wireless Manager ME 6.0, the
ET-UW100 Easy Wireless Stick
can be used for a simpler, speedier projection method.
The ET-UW100E integrates a wireless application and a wireless LAN adapter. Simply plug it into the Computer's USB port for easy wireless projection of the Computer screen.
By installing the Wireless Manager ME 6.0 application in a PC in advance and connecting*7 the USB ports on the Projector and the Computer with a USB cable, Wireless Manager ME 6.0 will automatically start up and output computer images and sound from the Projector. Multi-Live mode and other functions can also be used in the same manner as when using a wireless connection.
JPG/BMP image files and text files stored on a USB Memory device can be projected by simply inserting the USB Memory device into the USB port of the PT-VX505NEA.
The USB Memory Viewer on the PT-VX505NEA makes it easier than ever to give presentations without having to use a Computer.
The PT-VW505NEA has a maximum lamp replacement cycle of 4,000 hours*8. The air filters also has a replacement cycle of 4,000 hours*9. This reduces maintenance hassles for long periods of use, and helps to lower maintenance costs and reduce environmental impact.
For easier maintenance, you can replace the lamp from the top and the air filter from the side and the back, even after the Projector is installed on the ceiling. This eliminates the need to detach the Projector from its mounting bracket in ceiling mounted applications.
The quiet design keeps noise levels down to 29 dB*10 so the sound of the cooling fan is hardly noticeable. This helps the audience to keep their attention on the speech when someone is giving a presentation, or on the screen images during quiet scenes.
When projecting onto a 100 inch wide screen, the 1.6x zoom lens lets the PT-VW505NEA support a wide range of projection distances, from 2.4 to 3.9 metres (7.9 to 12.8 feet) for an 100 inch screen.
The PT-VX505NEA features the Lens Shift function in the vertical direction.
It moves the image position vertically without distorting it.
These Portable Projectors feature high output 10 watt Speakers that produce a high sound volume without requiring external Speakers. They also feature a microphone input terminal that allows microphone sounds to be output from the Projector. These features make presentations even more effective.
The LAN terminal allows a Computer connected to the network to use Crestron RoomView™ application software, to manage and control system devices.
Auto Input Signal Search
The Auto Input Signal Search function automatically detects the input signal and selects the input channel based on the signal. This function lets you start a presentation without any complicated set up required.
Input Guidance Function
If the input signal cannot be detected, the Input Guidance function will display connection instructions on the Projector screen, for easy set up.
Real-Time Keystone Correction
With Real-Time Keystone Correction, the Projector automatically senses if you adjust its angle (in the vertical direction) during operation.
This instantly makes whatever keystone correction is necessary for optimal viewing.
Colour-Board and Blackboard modes
Colour-Board and Blackboard modes adjust the colours to provide high quality projection possible in rooms that don't have a screen.
The wired LAN terminal is compatible with PJLink™ (class1), an open protocol that is used by many manufacturers, to enable integrated control of systems that contain different brands of Projectors.
Extensive interfaces include an HDMI input terminal, 2 sets of computer (RGB) input terminals, a wired LAN terminal, and a serial (RS-232C) terminal for external control. These features support a wide range of system architectures for portable or ceiling mounted use.
Web browser on a Computer connected through a wired LAN system lets you remotely operate Projectors and check their status. An e-mail messaging function can also notify you when a lamp needs replacement, and indicate the overall Projector status.
In addition, Multi Projector Monitoring and Control Software is available for monitoring and controlling multiple Panasonic Projectors from a single PC.
The Direct Power Off function keeps the cooling fan turned on even when you unplug the power cord right after use. This lets you put everything away and carry the projector quickly to your next presentation or lecture.

"It's for anyone who's a child or who values children, or who is interested in learning about the holidays," said Farrell, a resident of Hillsdale, N.Y.
The singer, songwriter and storyteller will perform at the Palace Danbury on Saturday, Dec. 15. Joining him on stage will be area schoolchildren, keyboard player Jeff Miller and multi-instrumentalist Scott Harper.
"They are both accomplished musicians and recording artists," said Farrell. "Jeff has performed on a couple of albums that won Grammy awards and produced all of my CDs over the last 10 years. Scott is very versatile. He plays sax, flute, guitar, percussion; he does it all."
The concert will include Farrell tunes such as "It's Snowing" "One By One" and "Holidays All Around the World."
"Most involve some kind of sign language and movement," said Farrell, who will have about 100 kids on stage.
"I wrote that (`Holidays') song because there are so many similarities between the practices that involve celebrations in different cultures -- holidays like Hanukkah, Ramadan, Christmas and Diwali (the five-day festival of lights that is celebrated by Hindus)," he said. "The practices are incredibly similar in terms of what we emphasize. We celebrate peace and hope all around the world."
The concert will benefit Farrell's nonprofit, Bridges of Peace and Hope, and a second group, called Reach Out and Read, which promotes early literacy and school readiness in pediatric exam rooms throughout the country. New books are given to children and parents receive advice on the importance of reading aloud.
"We're asking folks to bring a book to support Reach Out and Read," Farrell said. "It's working with some Danbury clinics, getting books into the hands of families that have pediatricians who evaluate children's development and making sure they have books in their homes."
Danbury's Promise for Children is a nonprofit that is working with Reach Out and Read.
Bridges of Peace and Hope (BoPH) is a global network of teachers, students and friends that promotes respect and understanding through projects involving art, literature, music and more. One of the group's projects raised money to build classrooms and provide teachers for the Mukwashi School in Zambia.
Saturday's event will also feature artwork by Malawiian artists. The colorful pieces, which will be offered for sale, are by artists known as Akida and Kiri, both of whom are refugees living in South Africa.
"I met Kiri in Cape Town in 2005 and I loved his artwork, but I didn't have any more money to spend on art then, so I traded him my shirt and shoes for a painting," said Farrell. "It was the beginning of a friendship with both of them. We recently imported more than 30 paintings."
Doors will open at 10:30 a.m. for the 11 a.m. concert., which includes intermission and ends at 12:30 p.m.
Farrell said the concert will be "a nice kind of oasis in the middle of the commercialization of the holidays -- a chance to step back and spend time observing how much joy children take from music and being together, and from stories and things that don't involve spending money."
The requested donation for reservations is $10 per person, or $30 per family. Tickets can be reserved at firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling Farrell at 845-216-1939.

How To Make a Great Side Table from IKEA Frosta Stools
I've been saving up for months for a February how to splurge, and I am particularly proud of this one. Loving Frosta stools for their low price and solid wood construction, I've keep finding new things to do with them. This one solved the problem of slim bedside tables, which we were missing for nearly two years.
For both sides I purchased four Frosta stools from IKEA ($12.99 each) and two thick glass tops from Capitol Glass ($175 each). The felt pieces added texture and they came from Sutherland Felt.
What You Need
2 Frosta stools
1 ¾" Thick Clear Polished Glass in 16½" diameter
Organic Paint (I used Farrow & Ball)
1 Thick Round Disc of Wool Felt
Hand Saw
Measuring Tape
Paint Brush
Gorilla Glue
This is a really easy project. The only real hurdle is measuring correctly and shelling out for the glass (which I think is worth it).
First, you order your glass from a local glass shop. I wanted a wider bedside table than the stool allowed, so I went out on all sides to 16½". It's a funky look, but I like it. I also ordered really thick glass (¾") which is much more costly. You could easily cut the price down by using thinner glass.
Second, you cut down only three of the four legs provided for each of the low stools. I wanted the space to appear divided in half, so I cut the legs roughly at 8″, since the seat is 17½" tall.
Third, you need to site the three legs tripod style. Since IKEA gives you holes for four legs, I used one of the pre-drilled holes and then divided the rest of the circle into thirds. I didn't use complicated math. I simply stretched the tape around the circumfrence of the seat and divided by three.
When attaching the legs, I always use a little Gorilla glue to make sure that the legs are really strong. IKEA screws alone rarely do the job and it can be wobbly.
When you have attached all the legs and can place the lower stool inside of the high stool, place tape around the edges of the high stool and give the top a nice two coats of paint. I used a blue-grey tester can from Farrow & Ball because I wanted to try the paint, I was painting in our kitchen and doors and because the testers are cheap.
Finally, when the paint is dry, you place 3-4 small rubber glides under the glass on top of your painted stool and install (I also added a piece of thick felt ordered from Sutherland Felt). I arranged the stools so that you could get books easily in the front but you can try other variations. The tripod legs are fun to play with.

Unit of Credit: A unit of credit represents one hour of lecture or recitation and two hours of preparation per week, or three hours of laboratory per week for one semester.
The grade point average (GPA) is determined by dividing the total grade points earned by the total grade point units completed as listed in the chart above.
Administrative symbols: P/NP—Pass/No Pass; I—Incomplete; W—Withdrawal; IP—In Progress; RD—Report Delayed. Administrative symbols are not used in the computation of GPA. See below for further explanation.
Pass/No Pass (P/NP) is a nonpunitive grading system where such units earned will be counted in satisfaction of curricular requirements but will be disregarded in determining a student's grade point average. For more specific information, refer to the discussion of the "Pass/No Pass Grading Policy" on page 46.
Incomplete: A symbol of "I," Incomplete, may be assigned by an instructor when a student has been unable to complete academic work for unforeseeable emergency and/or justifiable reason at the end of term. A copy of the "Assignment of Incomplete" form will be mailed to the student and the original retained in the Office of the Vice President, Student Services. A final grade will be assigned when the work stipulated has been completed and evaluated by the instructor or when the time limit for completion of the work has passed. An "I" must be made up no later than one year following the end of the term in which it was assigned. In the event of unusual, verifiable circumstances beyond the student's control, a petition may be filed in the Office of the Vice President, Student Services for extension of the one-year time limit. Course repetition is not permitted to remove an Incomplete.
Withdrawal: An official withdrawal from classes may be requested by the student or initiated on his/her behalf by the instructor or Vice President, Student Services.
The following conditions apply to official withdrawal:
In Progress: A symbol of "IP," In Progress, will be assigned when a class extends beyond the normal end of a semester or summer session, that is, when the class "carries over" from one term to the next. The appropriate grade, however, shall be assigned and appear on a student's record for the term during which the course is completed. The "IP" will remain on the academic record. The "IP" shall not be used in the calculation of a student's grade point average.
Final grades will be issued at the end of each semester. In the absence of mistake, fraud, incompetence, or bad faith, the determination of the student's grade by the instructor shall be final once they have been recorded by the Registrar's Office.
Consistent with District policy, a student in good standing may elect to be graded on a Pass/No Pass basis in a course. A grade of "Pass" (P) shall be awarded only for work which otherwise would have received a grade of "C" or better. Work that would have received a "D" or "F" will be graded "No Pass" (NP). The units earned will be counted in satisfaction of program requirements, but will be disregarded in determining a student's grade point average.
IMPORTANT: Students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution should review the Pass/No Pass acceptance policy of the transfer institution prior to petitioning for this grading option. Restrictions in the San Diego Community College District also apply.
There are courses in which Pass/No Pass grades are used exclusively; these are designated in the catalog course description by the statement "Pass/No Pass Only." In addition, there are courses which cannot be taken on a Pass/No Pass basis; these are designated in the course description by the statement "Letter Grade Only."
Effective Fall 2009, the Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) grading option changed to Pass/No Pass (P/NP).

Netflix said it plans to let its deal to carry Nickelodeon, BET and MTV content expire next month, even though it continues to discuss licensing certain shows.
The video subscription service said it has been moving away from broad, multi-year deals with networks and cable channels, in favor of more selective licensing arrangements to carry programs that will work best for its subscribers.
Netflix Chief Executive Reed Hastings, in a letter to shareholders, said a recent deal with Warner Bros. Television illustrates the subscription service's more handpicked approach to programming. It reached a deal with the studio to bring such shows as NBC's "Revolution," Fox's "The Following" and A&E's "Longmire" to subscribers earlier.
ON LOCATION: Where the cameras roll
"Many of our earliest deals were with networks and cable networks and included some shows that have not proven successful," Hastings wrote, adding that cable networks often hold back the most popular shows for as long as possible to keep cable and satellite distributors happy. "By dealing directly with producers of TV shows, we are better positioned to pick just those shows that we believe will work best, and secure rights that may be otherwise blocked by TV carriage and transmission deals."

Journals and Posts
Clippinger family
This is just the beginning for me. My husbands Grandmother passed away this past September and this prompted me to do genealogy. I've always bee curious where people came from and what story can be told.
When I received my family tree book for Christmas, I found that this was what I needed to start my research.
Currently I am just working on my husbands fathers side. He's a Clippinger and that name is related to the Garrisons. So I have started with that. I have some information down in my book and will gladly share it.
Next I will be moving on to the Nijaks. From what I have found so far they had came straight from Poland, so i think this is where I will be challenged.

Hopefully never cause that denies me more Mickie James.
Awesome RAW tonight from the last hour I saw. I loved the whole Cena and Tyme coming out together hoping this is the beginning of a beautitful partnership.
We're seeing new heels pop up with Cody and Ted Jr. (get Melina or some female heel with them stat but really their heel gold already).
by misac » Tue Jul 01, 2008 2:31 pm
Aye, the draft came at the right time. I was about to stop watching. It was a great Raw, I hadn't enjoyed it in a long time. It such a breath of fresh air seeing new people with the titles. I hope they actually do something with the IC title.
I find it sad that JBL is the top heel on Raw. Orton may be a d-bag in real life but he can't come back soon enough.
Santino was awesome like always. When he finishes his feud with Rey I'd like to see him feud with Jamie Noble. The promos would be awesome and Santino could learn a lot from Jamie.
When Jericho finishes his feud with Shawn I hope he goes after Punk. That could be pretty good.
Ted jr and Rhodes' music was horrible, they should just come out with the Million Dollar Man's song.
I don't like Cena, but I was so happy to see him at the end. I wonder if Cena and Cryme Time will be teaming up, I think I'd actually like to see that.
by NedPepper » Tue Jul 01, 2008 3:51 pm
Agreed. Just having him talk seems to work. His wrestling ability is weaker than ever, and he was never that great to begin with. (There is that back injury that won't heal, and all those gimmick matches may have taken a toll on JBL.)
by rdrsfn82 » Tue Jul 01, 2008 3:53 pm
I think he's best served either as an announcer or a GM as well. He can still put on an OK match, but not on a weekly basis and he can't put on a great match at all. I think he should have stayed on Smackdown as announcer or been GM and never should have come back to perform in the ring.
by NedPepper » Tue Jul 01, 2008 3:54 pm
See, I thought that, but then we go right back into stale territory. JBL would no doubt make a great GM, but I dig the idea that he's trying to take over the show all by himself.
It's more interesting. I think part of the fresh feel, for me at least, on Raw this week was having no GM. They need to at least play this out a while longer before sticking in another evil GM.
by Jonathan » Tue Jul 01, 2008 3:59 pm
Personally I like the "martial law/inmates running the asylum" feel. I like how the flagship show has gone "Wild West" due to no McMahon or GM. And I think with the heels (especially JBL) stirring up the pot and causing so much trouble that when a new GM is picked/introduced, they will be a face. A New Sheriff in Town, if you will.
by misac » Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:01 pm
I like that idea. I'm for anything to keep him out of the ring.
So do you guys think it'll be revealed that Regal caused Vince's accident?
by NedPepper » Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:08 pm
I like this. And if anyone has ever seen a Western, the sheriff doesn't really have control.
It only works if McMahon stays away. Seriously. And no Shane, unless he wants to play the role of the inept sheriff.
The GM being over his head and JBL having connections could work. I like your thinking.
by NedPepper » Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:09 pm
I'm behind on Regal. What was the storyline excuse for him being removed from GM?
by misac » Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:14 pm
He was fired when he lost to Kennedy.
by Lord Simian » Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:21 pmI should point out, at this point, that Monday Night Raw HAD a Sheriff, one who technically never was fired.....
by NedPepper » Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:48 pm
Stone Cold! Stone Cold! Stone Cold!
I think Shawn Michaels played a "sherriff" role years ago, too.
by rdrsfn82 » Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:52 pm
So you want him to be the new Million Dollar Man? I would enjoy that if he stopped wrestling and just backed guys in a managerial role with limited ring time like Ted did towards the end of his career.
by Lord Simian » Tue Jul 01, 2008 4:55 pm
I don't think he was officially a sheriff, though, he just used the famous "There's a new sheriff in town" line. And if I'm not mistaken, which I very well could be, it was on the first episode of Smackdown?

Alison Moyet
Love resurrection
Alison Moyet
Source: allmusic.com
Alison Moyet, a British pop singer with a remarkably bluesy voice, began her professional career with synth pop duo Yazoo (Yaz in the U.S.) in the early '80s. In 1983, Moyet began a solo career, releasing her debut album, Alf, the following year. Alf was a major success in
Britain, hitting number one on the charts and launching the hit singles "Invisible," "All Cried Out," and "Love Resurrection"; it was a minor hit in the U.S., with "Invisible" cracking the Top 40. In 1985, Moyet toured with a jazz band led by John Altman; the group recorded a
version of Billie Holiday's "That Ole Devil Called Love," which became her biggest British hit, even though the group received poor reviews.
Raindancing In 1986, Moyet had another major U.K. hit with "Is This Love?," which was
released while she was recording her second solo album. Raindancing appeared in 1987 and it was another big British hit, peaking at number two and featuring the Top Ten hits "Weak in the Presence of Beauty" and "Love Letters." The record wasn't quite as
successful in the U.S., peaking at number 94. In 1991, she released her third album, Hoodoo, which was her most musically ambitious collection to date. However, it didn't match the commercial success of her previous albums, failing to chart in America. Essex, her
fourth album, appeared in 1994 and she released a greatest-hits collection, Singles, the following year. After a near-nine-year layoff, she returned with Hometime produced by the production team the Insects. Two years later and filled with standards, Voice arrived. In
2005, the album was reissued in America with her version of "Alfie" as a bonus track. After signing with the W14 Music label in late 2006, Moyet released The Turn in October 2007. In
wouldn't be until 2013 that she returned. Signing a new worldwide deal with London-based label Cooking Vinyl, Moyet returned to a more electronic sound with her eighth studio album, The Minutes.

Papiss Cisse headed Newcastle to a last-gasp victory over Crystal Palace as the Magpies left it desperately late at St James' Park.
The Senegal international, who had earlier been denied three times by Palace keeper Julian Speroni, powered substitute Hatem Ben Arfa's cross home in the fourth-minute of stoppage time to snatch a 1-0 win with his first goal since January 4.
Midfielder Cheick Tiote had rattled the crossbar seconds earlier as Palace looked to have survived, but Cisse ensured the Eagles remain firmly entrenched in the battle for Barclays Premier League survival.
Speroni's heroics had kept the Eagles in a game of little real quality until that point, and they might even have been ahead themselves with Yannick Bolasie clipping the crossbar seconds after Kagisho Dikgacoi had gone one-on-one with keeper Tim Krul.
With Alan Pardew watching the game via video-link from the club's training ground and owner Mike Ashley making a rare appearance in the stands, is was assistant manager John Carver who took centre-stage once again, and he headed for the dressing room.
Newcastle largely dominated the opening 45 minutes as Palace receded in numbers in an attempt to deny the hosts time and space, and the ploy proved effective for much of the first half.
Their efforts were aided in no small part by the Magpies' inability to produce enough final balls of genuine quality to stretch them despite the best efforts of Vurnon Anita, the man asked to contribute the invention lost when Yohan Cabaye departed for Paris St Germain in January.
With Loic Remy once again a spectator because of injury - Newcastle have now won none of the seven games he has missed so far this season - it was left to Cisse and Luuk de Jong to lead the attack, and both might have made meaningful impacts.
Cisse was denied by a fine 12th-minute reaction save from Speroni after leaving defender Adrian Mariappa on his backside and thumping in a left-foot shot, with De Jong heading the rebound over.
The Senegal international, who started the game with only one league goal to his name this season, looked certain to add to his tally when he met Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa's inviting 32nd-minute cross with a deft touch, but Speroni was once again equal to the task.
Full-back Paul Dummett came as close as anyone to opening the scoring, but his injury-time free-kick whistled inches over the crossbar.
For their part, Palace attempted to hit Newcastle on the break with the muscular Cameron Jerome causing all kinds of problems for central defensive pairing Fabricio Coloccini and Mike Williamson.
He headed an early Jason Puncheon shot wide and saw a 24th-minute shot blocked by Speroni, but it was midfielder Bolasie who almost blasted the visitors into the lead five minutes before the break when his rising left-foot drive only just cleared the bar.
The Eagles returned in much more positive fashion and went close twice within seconds when Puncheon smashed a blistering left-foot effort wide of the far post and Jerome saw another effort blocked by Yanga-Mbiwa.
With the game opening up, Palace were posing a more regular threat and Krul was called upon for the first time to block Dikgacoi's shot as he ran on to Puncheon's through-ball.
However, the Holland international needed the help of the crossbar seconds later when Bolasie sent in a curling shot from the left side of the penalty area.
It was then that Carver turned to Ben Arfa in the search for fresh inspiration, although it was Moussa Sissoko who fashioned a 62nd-minute opening for Cisse with a powerful run and cross, only for the striker to miskick.
Speroni kept Cisse at bay once again two minutes later with a crucial block after he had pounced on Sissoko's pass, and the striker powered a 70th-minute header just over from Ben Arfa's cross.
Tiote thumped a long-rage 92nd-minute effort against the bar with Cisse failing to turn home Yanga-Mbiwa's cross from the rebound, but he made no mistake when Ben Arfa picked out his run at the death.

Age: 23
Hometown: Miami, Fla.
Graduated: University of Notre Dame, 2011; B.A. in anthropology
Assigned in Hood River as a service associate, Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital, Faith in Action program
Bianca Fernandez speaks three languages: English, Spanish and Italian. She also speaks a universal language recognized by people of every age — compassion.
Fernandez, with a kindness that shines from her gentle smile, is well suited for her new work in Hood River. She is helping the Faith in Action program through PRHMH in its efforts to connect willing volunteers with elderly adults in need of extra help to stay in their homes.
"This work is about lightening a burden through sharing; through establishing relationships," said Fernandez, who has already met with more than 35 elderly adults in the program. "I am blessed to hear so many of their stories."
There are 50 volunteers already serving the more than 75 elderly seeking assistance. Fernandez is offering to build those relationships and reach out to other potential volunteers in the community.
"Some people just need short-term help after a surgery. Others need ongoing relationships," said Fernandez. "We are also hoping to extend some of the care giver-care receiver relationships through end of life companionship as well."
Beginning her college career with a focus on becoming a doctor, Fernandez was influenced by several cross-cultural service experiences through her school that changed her direction. She later turned to anthropology — with a particular interest in gathering stories from individuals of different cultural backgrounds.
"I got involved with our Center for Social Concerns through my college. I worked in a program for children working near a reservation and in an orphanage with children who were developmentally delayed or HIV-positive. Both of those experiences were really formative," said Fernandez.
"I learned I wanted to have relationships be at the core of my work," said Fernandez. "I really love working with Providence. I am blessed to share the lives of so many fascinating people many of whom have lived in Hood River their whole life."
While still considering her road ahead, Fernandez is sure that she will keep a holistic view of the people she serves at the forefront and credits JVC in helping her strengthen that commitment.

The dangers of a nuclear Iran are clear to most people who are aware of the facts surrounding Iran and their leader's attitude toward the United States and Israel. These two countries are not the only ones that would be affected by Iran's possession of nuclear weapons, however. The entire world would be affected. If Iran were to send a nuclear bomb to Israel or to the United States, a third world war could erupt. In a matter of hours, much of the globe could be destroyed, and even peaceful countries that have good relationships with Iran could be destroyed as well.
There are other countries that have nuclear weapons, such as the United States, Russia, China, North Korea, India, and Pakistan. The difference between these countries and Iran is that they are not threatening to destroy other countries. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has made it clear that according to his belief and philosophy, the world would be better off without the United States and Israel. The United States could probably not be eradicated with one nuclear attack, but the country could surely be affected if all of their electronic equipment including computers and telecommunications equipment were disabled.
It is clear that Iran is not only threatening with words, but with actions as well. When President Obama threatened to impose new economic sanctions on Iran's oil exporting business, Iran began to train its military to stop all oil from moving through the Strait of Hormuz. This international strait could be the site of a new Persian War that could cause great damage to this area of the world. The entire Middle East would be affected since they are in the region close to this area. Iran has threatened to use missiles against any country that goes against its wishes to export oil.
Israel is the country that is the most endangered by the possibility of Iran having nuclear weapons. Iran could easily aim nuclear missiles towards Israel and destroy the entire country. The likelihood of the world stepping up to protect Israel is slim, and its greatest ally, the United States, has cooled its relationship with Israel since the election of President Obama. The Israeli army is strong for such a small country, but whether they can stop Iran's production of nuclear weapons is unknown. One fact that is definite is that Iran has promised to eradicate Israel from the face of the earth.
There is a real possibility of Iran developing and using nuclear weapons. Both Israel and the United States say that they have evidence that these weapons are now being developed in Iran. Despite this fact, Iran continues to deny that they are developing nuclear weapons. The Muslim clerics have issued general bans against any Islamic country developing these weapons, but the passion and determination of Iran to destroy Israel and the United States may overstep the forbidden development of weapons of mass destruction.
The main way that the United States, Great Britain, and other countries have attempted to prevent Iran from developing these weapons is through economic sanctions. These have not worked in stopping other aggressive leaders like Muammar Gaddafi or Saddam Hussein. Many analysts say that the sanctions only cause worse relations and resentment that eventually leads to war. Sanctions against Iran have already been in place for many years, and they have had no effect on the development of nuclear arms by Iran. The time may come when more serious measures, such as destroying Iran's nuclear weapon production plants, is necessary. The entire world does not want to see the situation come to this because those who have been living for several decades are already tired of the Middle Eastern wars. Hopefully, Iran is more talk than action as some political analysists say it is.
