Most comics have at least one character more interesting than the heroes. Here's what it would look like if comics were centered on the background characters. DC and Marvel will never be the same.
"Every hero becomes a bore at last." – Ralph Waldo Emerson.
Yes. I'm opening with a quote. But it's a quote by a guy named Waldo, so you can picture him in a striped shirt if you find that pretentious.
There. Does that make it go down smoother? Good.
Besides, it's true. After a certain amount of time, heroes lose their luster. Ethical missteps accumulate, continuity drags, and personality quirks that were once fun are either watered down to blandness or begin to grate on a fan's nerves. Nothing gold can stay, Ponyboy, and that's the truth. (I am piling on the literary allusions today.) The movies, tv shows, books and comics that strip down and re-examine the traditional superhero trope are beginning to outsell the trope itself.
As a reactionary, I say that you will pry my traditional superhero comics out of my cold, dead hands. As a capitulationist, I say please let me offer a few suggestions.
Murders Are Always, Always, Always, Entertaining:
What can you get if you like a good, old-fashioned murder mystery but aren't willing to listen to the legal jargon and watch extended crime scene technician montages? Not a damn thing, which is why the first two characters I'm suggesting would be a success. Slam Bradley is a hard-drinking, rough-living, tough-talking old-timer. Jason Bard is a guy who is basically stuck together with masking tape, both because he's the kind of honorable man who faces danger and the kind of idiot who was shown in at least one comic scratching his own head with the barrel of his loaded gun. Naked. No, I'm not kidding.
They're both private detectives, and neither has much regard for either technology or legality. Together they would star in a comic that's all breaking down doors and inappropriate relations with clients and absolutely no talk about residual heat signatures or torts.
Isn't it time that we, as consumers, stopped anticipating legal complications in our crime investigation and started anticipating good, old-fashioned sleaze? Isn't it time we just heard about the people at the lab doing tests on evidence instead of seeing it done set to a song by The Who? Isn't it time we brought back the old guy in a trench coat saying 'Oh, one more thing,' before nailing the suspect to the wall? And then hitting him with another suspect?
I think so, my friends. I think so.
My Name Is Andy:
The old saying 'tragedy is when I cut my finger and comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die,' really comes into play here. When last we saw Marvel Comics' Awesome Andy, the Android, he was feeling like this:
Hilarious, right?
Andy had a bad week, and decided to go off into the world to find himself. He's an android who can absorb the abilities of anyone around him, so finding himself could be a complicated issue. I think of it as more of a marketing opportunity. Emo Andy, Punk Andy, Country-Western Andy, Ironic Jerkbag Andy; this is something that anyone can relate to. This comic would be a mash-up of Dollhouse, Kung Fu: The Legend Continues, and My Name Is Earl.
I'm sure some of you are saying, 'What in the name of god could save such a terrible concept?' This: The main character can do anything, anything at all, except talk. Except talk.
This doesn't just save the comic. This turns it into a potential TV show. Think of all the shows I just mentioned. Now imagine the leads can't talk. I can see the smiles on your faces from here. They're beautiful.
Sex and the Desperate Cougar Housewives Done Right:
If there is one flaw in the current crop of shows marketed to women, and there aren't, there are many, but if there were one, it would be that despite all evidence to the contrary, the characters are still treated as if they are decent human beings.
This new potential comic doesn't have that problem. What it has instead is fantastic crossover potential. Over the years, most of the heroes have picked up their share of floozies. From the banal to the murderous, said floozies have tried to lure the heroes away from their significant others too many times to count. Such stories tend to be uninteresting when told from the point of view of the protagonists. What we need is them told from the POV of the temptresses.
Put Cat Grant, Lana Lang (Would-be Mrs. Kent-Els, both of them.) on a team with Marianne (the ex-homeless, romance-novel-writing, flower-shop-attendant and Green Arrow lover), with Madame Masque (The Tony Terrorizer) and you'd have a pretty dull comic. You need something to spice it up, and I have just the person.
Namor. Admit it, an egomaniacal fish man really puts the spice in that team. The comic would still be irresistible. It would be like a sashimi cupcake. Everyone would know it was bad, but they wouldn't be able to resist. Go ahead. Try not to read. You will fail. This, I promise you.
The Best Office Ever:
Comics can't just be romance and murder. We need some substance to go with all of that flash. And where does America usually get substance? Why, we borrow it from Great Britain, of course. We've ripped off Jane Austen novels and Shakespeare plays, but when even those proved too much for us we moved down the culture ladder to television shows. The Office was a smash hit on two continents, but it lacked something comics could provide: sociopaths. Which brings us to the comic that absolutely, unquestionably, urgently, must be made: Wayne Enterprises Human Resources Department.
There are many rants on the internet saying that Bruce Wayne's money could prevent crime more effectively than Batman's reign of terror. Those ranters clearly choose to ignore what Bruce Wayne does with his money.
By night Batman passes out cards for Wayne Enterprises to prostitutes, junkies, and petty criminals caught in the middle of a suitably sympathetic crime. By day Bruce Wayne roams the halls of the Wayne sky-scraper, handing out college scholarships to anyone who looks like they might have the talent or ambition to contribute meaningfully to the company. But that's just day-to-day stuff for the long-suffering staff of the Wayne Enterprises HR Department.
In both comics and cartoons, Wayne Enterprises has been shown to have a Hire-A-Felon policy in place. These felons can be anything from reformed armed robbers to the guy who likes to carve a puppet out of the nearest available piece of wood, pretend it's his boss, and have it plan diabolical crimes. That's right. The characters in the HR division spend their time throwing going away parties for bright-eyed innocent employees going off to highly marketable places like art school, finding jobs for hookers whose marketable skills include being able to talk, and explaining the sexual harassment policy to a guy who is basically the villain from the Saw movies.
Add Steve Carell to this bunch:
And it's gold. Gold.

Number of Episodes:
Fantasy, Drama
Based on:
manga by Urushibara Yuki.
My ratings:
5 out of 5
Brief Description:
The Mushi is neither a plant nor an animal; also, it isnt a microbe or fungus. It is more like primitive life forms. Their figures and existence are very vague. We dont notice their existence until we meet Mushi and theyll show us mysterious phenomena. They do not exist to scare others; they just exist there as they are. This anime is one-shot stories of Ginko, the Mushishi, who knows about Mushi and mediate human being and Mushi. During his journey, he meet various people and Mushi. (info taken from Animenfo's website)
My review:
I really recommend Mushishi to everyone Especially those who want to watch something a bit different from the usual, shoujo or shounen stuff ^^ It's a very peaceful anime and yet intriguing... it's hard to describe, it's like either you like really like it or you really don't like it ^^;;;
C1 is currently fansubbing it ^^ *they are doing a great job on it!*_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
I LOVE Mushishi! I can't believe this series isn't more popular. Every episode is really tragic and poignant and the art is unbelievable! I think it won some major awards tying for Best Series of 2005 along with Best Art Direction. Everyone should watch this series!
@mungoberry2000: I KNOW! I loved the manga when I first encountered and I totally love the anime XD Awesome fine-tuned anime-art! Resembles the manga a lot ^^
Yeah, I also can't believe it isn't more popular >___< Ah, really? Cool! Hahaha, yeah! Btw, do you know why Mushishi will be resuming at the end of May? I think C1 wrote a message about it being halted after ep 15 or so and that the rest will come out in May... just find it odd._________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
i actually don't know the real reason- i think it had something to do with ratings and the fact that so many new series were debuting in April. I think 20 episodes have been released so far by C1 - i'm just relieved that they plan to finish off the last 6 when they get broadcast. I need my Mushishi fix
well .. i actually download the episode .. but didnt watch yet ..
maybe coz of the main character appearnce .. kinda of disappointed -_-;
but if u recomande it that much i might actually start watching it
I like Mushishi too~ You can try reading the manga if you like manga better :p I've only seen the first episode of the anime and it follows the manga story pretty closely... not sure if it's any different in future episodes though.
Hmm, not too sure. There's not many manga chapters released yet so it's hard to compare and find that out... Still, so far, each episode has been good ^^ Especially that one that revealed Ginko's past! That was really fascinating, though sad~~ (wonder if that's from the manga?)
Anyway I noticed the raw for ep21 floating around not too long ago so I'm glad that it got resumed XD_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
check out this link! it actually shows that each episode corresponds with a manga chapter-based on the episode titles, its been following the manga perfectly, just in a different order though i think we will end up with more manga than episodes-which makes me a little sad- i'd love to see more of it animated. i've cut and pasted below too for everyone to see too! enjoy!

Wow! That's awesome XD Yeah I'd love to see the future chapters animated as well~~_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
YAY! Episode 21 was just released XD This episode was really freaky though o___0 The freakiest yet in my opinion... and a bit confusing...
Question to those who watched it: Did the root escape with the smoke? I dun really understand why the fire was necessarily for the Mushishi to protect its seeds? And at the end... what Ginko brought with him... was that simply the "form" of the children (and not the root?) though it ought to be part of the Mushishi as well, right? I mean what WOULD have been the real child was already killed to begin with... and that thing was still alive... GAH! I'm still all freaked out ^^;;;;
Also I wanna tear that stupid woman apart for daring to hurt our dear Ginko!! He's such a fantastic character~
5 more episodes to go... *sobs* I'm gonna miss this anime >____< They should make an episode for all chapters and upcoming ones~~_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
catching up and just saw ep 21! wow, that was so intense! the ending was reallyt confusing- i think the fire killed the main root but the offshoots (the kids) turn into these dormant seeds so that they are protected till its safe to emerge again. Ginko probably just scooped up one of them before it had a chance to turn into a seed. i thought it was sort of cute in the bottle
it was a really sad episode though- the real child did die- it was eaten by the Mushi- the Mushi was just using the disguise of a human child for its little minions.
yeah, i'm really sad to see Mushishi go- its a beautiful show- maybe when the manga gets a little further - we may have enough for a second season? it would be totally doable too- there's no major storyline that will be interrupted.
Ah, so the fire did kill the root... and the "children" was supposed to turn into seeds that way? C-c-cute? I thought it was freaky FREAKY!! >____< *like part of a nightmare*
Yeah it was sad indeed... the poor parents really :S
I would LOVE a second season! And yeah that would definitely be doable XD *will cross fingers for that*_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
hurray Mushishi OST 2 is out!! You can find it in #Nipponsei at Rizon on mIRC. Enjoy!! Crosses fingers for last 5 episodes to come out fansubbed soon
Mushishi OST! I gotta download that for sure ^^
Ep24 has been released not long ago... I haven't watched it yet, but is it just me or is the format much bigger than any of the previous eps? Just wondering if I got a wrong version or something @___@
2 more to go~~_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!
"This world is full of life that humans don't know about"
And thus the Mushishi anime ends! It's been a great watch though ^^ I'll definitely get around to go through it again! I sure hope there'll be a season 2 in the future though
I didn't notice that it got licensed and C1anime officially dropped it after ep25, but someone fansubbed ep26 and kept with the same sub standards ^^_________________Thanx to Joanne Kuang for the awesome avatar!

Brendan Rodgers has said Liverpool's patience could be tested on and off the pitch against Zenit St Petersburg on Thursday evening as the overhaul he has instigated will not impact "like a bolt of lightning" at Anfield. Liverpool must overturn a 2-0 deficit against Russia's champions in the last-32 tie to preserve their final prospect of silverware this season with Rodgers adamant that the first goal will be decisive.
He will be without Daniel Sturridge and Philippe Coutinho due to ineligibility and the injured Fabio Borini for the second leg, however. The former Zenit defender Martin Skrtel is also expected to miss out with a knee problem.
The Liverpool manager has called on Anfield to recreate the frenzied atmosphere that swept Rafael Benítez's team into the Champions League final at the expense of Chelsea in 2005. Rodgers was present at Anfield that night as Chelsea's youth team manager and, while seeking a repeat of the noise that he believes prompted the referee to award Luis García's controversial early goal, he does not want a chaotic start against Zenit.
"The legend of this club has been based on nights like this, big games and big comebacks," said Rodgers. "I was here for the first Chelsea semi-final, for the 'ghost goal'. For me, it wasn't a goal. That was the sheer force of the crowd that got the goal. José Mourinho spoke at that time of how he didn't think it was over the line but the bottom line is that the referee gave it. It was under massive influence, there is no doubt about that.
"The atmosphere was as good as you will ever get. The crowd will be so important for us but equally we need patience. It is not a game where we need the first five or 10 minutes to be chaotic. We have to be aggressive in attack and to have intensity in our pressing. The first goal is important. If that comes after 40, 55 or 70 minutes, I still think we have the power of the crowd and the players to get the result."
Rodgers has "quiet confidence" about a recovery thanks to the amount of chances Liverpool created in St Petersburg last week and the Liverpool manager says the outcome of the tie will not alter the size of his long-term task at Anfield.
"This was never going to be a bolt-of-lightning season," he said. "Some people can come into a really mature, strong group of players and take it forward very quickly. Whatever people look at, that was never going to happen here with the size and depth of the group.
"The squad got to two cup finals last season but it was broken up. Players left. I moved some on. Last year the Carling Cup was a clear priority for Liverpool. For me, it couldn't have been. I didn't have the depth of squad. As much as I wanted it to be, I never felt it was going to be that sort of season unless we could get the reinforcements. This has been a great learning curve and we need to keep building the group."
The Liverpool manager confirmed Jamie Carragher will make his 150th European appearance for the club against Zenit. Despite describing Carragher as his "best defender" following the first leg in Russia, Rodgers says he was correct to give Skrtel and Daniel Agger time to develop their central defensive partnership during the first half of the campaign.
Rodgers explained: "Initially we lacked goals, defensively we were alright. Obviously we are trying to look to the future in terms of giving the two central defenders an opportunity to form a partnership. It is one of the few positions that I don't want to change, if I can. Your two central defenders are your pillars.
"I just got to the stage where I felt that – and this had nothing to do with how Martin Skrtel was playing – we needed to be more vocal. The team was quiet and lacked organisation and leadership on the field. My gut feeling was to put Carra back in.
"His performance level since then has been remarkable, really. Why did I not do it earlier? Sometimes it takes time for you to see it. That is the simple explanation."
Liverpool (probable 4-3-3) Reina; Johnson, Carragher, Agger, Enrique; Gerrard, Lucas, Henderson; Shelvey, Suárez, Downing.
Kick-off, 8.05pm
Zenit St Petersburg (4-3-2-1); Malafeev; Anyukov, Lombaerts, Hubocan, Criscito; Witsel, Denisov, Shirokov; Hulk, Danny; Kerzhakov.
Referee: B Kuipers (Netherlands)

Badboy actor Charlie Sheen knows about fast-living, even when it comes to rehab.
Just days after admitting himself, the "Two and a Half Men" star says he'll be heading back to work soon.
Sheen plans to return to the set of CBS' top-rated sitcom by the end of February, his publicist announced Thursday.
The "Major League" star sought help last week, one day after being rushed to a L.A. hospital for severe abdominal pain following a reported 36-hour party at his home with porn stars.
"Two and a Half Men" has been suspended pending his release from rehab. Eight episodes from the television season ending in May have yet to be filmed, according to Reuters.
On Wednesday, Sheen released his first statement since being hospitalized.
"I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people," he told fans and "Two and a Half Men" crew.
"That is a target date," Stan Rosenfield told the New York Times. "Dealing with rehab, you never know."

She now leads the Bobcats with a .420 batting average and has yet to have been caught on the bases, a perfect 48-of-48.

A man of faith is rewarded for his devotion, only to find his beliefs challenged by his new prosperity in this drama from Turkish filmmaker Özer Kiziltan. Muharrem (Erkan Can) is a man who lives a simple life devoted to God, determined to live by his laws and fully aware of the consequences of incurring his wrath.
Muharrem lives in the small house where he was born, he works for the sackmaker who has employed him since he was a boy, he owns only one suit, and has few other worldly possessions.
Muharrem's humble faith and desire to serve the Sheik (Meray Ülgen) who leads his house of worship results in his being offered a new job -- overseeing the properties owned by the Sheik's seminaries.
Rauf (Güven Kiraç), the Sheik's assistant, tells Muharrem that his lack of greed and guile makes him perfect for the job, and suddenly he's given fine new clothes, an office, a cell phone, and even a car and driver.
As Muharrem struggles to adjust to his new circumstances, he also finds his attitudes challenged -- while he once would have allowed a poor family to skip paying rent for a month on good faith, he is now informed that this could put the seminary's scholarship accounts into arrears, and he has to decide if performing needed repairs to the rental homes is worth the money they will cost.
As Muharrem's moral and ethical compass is thrown out of adjustment, he also finds himself tormented by impure thoughts, which never troubled him in the past. Takva: A Man's Fear of God received its North American premiere at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival.

I was caching in NJ over the holiday. I went to a nature trail area that had 4 or 5 caches. The first cache was an easy find. But the second cache was a different story. The caches name is "sting" GC116GQ. I walked to where the coordinates took me and as I was reaching for what I thought might be the cache my hand touched a plant that sent pain jabbing into me. For two days I couldn't make the pain stop. I don't know what the plant is. Maybe if I was a native to the area I would but I'm not. Shouldn't there have been a warning on this cache!!
I avoided the next two caches because that plant was everywhere.

Searching for perfect in genealogy programs
Obviously, the PGP (Perfect Genealogy Program, yes, I know the acronym also means Pretty Good Privacy) stores information about individuals and all of the possible family relationships. Each and every event or fact about an individual or family would have a place for a source citation. It would also let me assign sources to multiple individuals at the same time and re-use sources at any time for any number of individuals. The PGP would link easily to WorldCat.org, Ancestry.com, and similar databases and also to any Webpage so that citations could be directly imported without copying and pasting. The PGP would search my entire computer for photos and other media and let me assign and incorporate photos directly from an interface like Google's Picasa. My ideal program would automatically check for duplicates when any new individual was entered into the database and let me combine the duplicate individuals and select which information to retain and which to discard.
I have no issues with the standard methods of displaying individual relationships, but in my PGP, I would have the option of displaying information in both traditional and non-traditional (i.e. spreadsheet type) ways. The PGP would have all of the possible report formats and also let incorporate you data into a page layout program, such as Adobe InDesign, for final presentation. Speaking of presentation, my PGP would also share data with a presentation program, allowing me to build a presentation of my file and incorporate any screen view in my presentation. Of course, the PGP would allow me to attach photos, scans, movies, sound files and all sorts of multimedia.
I would have my PGP expand the incorporation of maps and mapping capabilities, with the ability to attach a map to any event. The geographic database would not only tell me about counties, but it would be tied into historical maps and let me know changing national political boundaries as well.
As you can probably tell by now, my PGP is almost available now. There are a number of very good genealogical database programs that have most of the features I outline. Personal preference begins to play a larger and larger roll in program selection when most of the popular programs have similar functions. I like the ability to edit whole lists of events at the same time, such as geographic locations and to merge duplicate sources, names, events, locations and other data. Many programs have good resources to clean up files in this way.
What I have found to be one of the biggest challenges to almost all programs is duplicate individuals. I have yet to find a program that does a really good job of finding and combining all the duplicates in my huge files.
My PGP would write a book about my genealogy in a way that even the professional genealogists could not detect that it was written from a computer. One last thing, my PGP would also keep my time doing research and allow me to create an invoice and a bill for my research services with a summary of all of the information I gathered.
Write and tell me other features you would want in your own PGP.

Have you tried TMG (The Master Genealogist)along with GenSmarts - I get direct links to subscription sites that is 'sometimes' useful.ReplyDelete
I alos like the Merge People part of the program because I could be specific about what events would be marked primary & keep what was relevent. I like your idea about it automatically pulling in the source information - that would truly be a gift ;-)
I agree that many genealogy programs out there have a lot of what you mentioned, but the thing that I think is hard and frustrating is that one program has one thing, another has one, and yet another and something completely different. I guess that is the point of your PGP.ReplyDelete
I use Reunion 9 and I really enjoy it. At this point, there are only a few features I wish it had and then it would be pretty close to my PGP. I wish it had a feature like RootsMagic to create a "shareable CD", and also their source wizard that is based on Evidence and Evidence Explained. I also wish Reunion was FamilySearch Certified(I have been told they are working on it, but have yet to receive a date when).
I also wish the Web Family Cards in Reunion looked more modern than they do. I think they look old and outdated. Incorporating more CSS functions and possibly javascript and Flash would make the Web Family Cards better.

Hurricane Sandy's wrath swept a Jet Star Roller Coaster from Seaside Heights, N.J., into the ocean last October, providing some of the most enduring images of the deadly storm. More than six months later, authorities said they would remove the roller coaster's debris from the ocean this week.
"Ripping it out of there and getting everything out of the ocean," Casino Pier spokeswoman Toby Wolf told CBS New York. "[It's] pretty close to shore and that's a safety hazard for swimmers, surf.
"Seeing that visibly gone will be kind of a feeling of moving forward," she added. "A sense of moving forward."
According to NBC New York, construction crews will begin removing the roller coaster following Prince Harry's planned visit to Seaside Heights on Tuesday.
The British royal will tour several storm-wrecked New Jersey shore towns before a press conference with Gov. Chris Christie.
Wolf also told CBS that Casino Pier has replaced the old roller coaster with a new ride, dubbed The Superstorm.

Jeg legger ved siste setning først:
Many students leave college wanting to learn a bit more economics. But a PhD may be more than they want or need for their careers. An expansion of master's programs in U.S. economics departments may offer many students the stepping stone they need.
Her er hele:
Reflections on Graduate Education: «I thought my blog readers might enjoy reading my observations about PhD programs in economics, which are included in some discussant comments I gave at the ASSA meeting earlier this month. Here they are.
Comments on 'Completion Rates and Time-to-Degree in Economics PhD Programs' by Wendy A Stock, John J. Siegfried, and T. Aldrich Finegan
This paper is a contribution to an important line of work. As economists, we often remind policymakers that their decisions should be based on objective, empirical research rather than uninformed supposition. Yet when we are the decision makers, as we are when we run our own educational programs, we often have little data-driven analysis on which to base on our judgments. This kind of research should, over time, lead to a better educational system.
I would like to take note of two facts highlighted in this study and to tentatively discuss what they might mean. The first fact is that it is taking longer for students to earn their PhDs in economics. The second fact is that a sizeable percentage of students who start PhD programs do not finish.
It is tempting to interpret these facts as a sign of educational failure. After all, students enter these graduate programs to earn a PhD. If the successful ones are taking longer to finish, and many others are not getting their degrees at all, then it might seem that we are doing something wrong.
But it is far from obvious that these facts are symptoms of a problem. Perhaps longer times to completion and some amount of dropping out are optimal.
Consider time to completion. There is no doubt that economics is still a young science and there is much we do not know. But there is also no doubt that research is continually adding to our stock of knowledge. Perhaps students are taking longer to earn PhDs because there is more for them to learn. It may well be optimal to spend six rather than five years in graduate school before our profession releases students into the world with our highest level of certification.
Another relevant fact is that most students, when they get their first academic jobs, end up at colleges and universities with lower ranked departments than where they earned their PhDs. Why hurry the process of moving to a less vibrant intellectual environment? It may well be better for the professional development of the candidate to spend an extra year or so in graduate school.
Consider now the fact that many students drop out of graduate school without a PhD in hand. While many of these students are disappointed by this outcome, it is likely that in many cases their choice to drop out is optimal. They entered graduate school without fully knowing what it was like and whether it was a good match for them. After a couple of years, they decided it wasn't. In light of the inherent uncertainty when choosing a path in life, a bit of experimentation is desirable.
My own life is a case in point. When I left college, I was unsure what career path I wanted to take. I therefore enrolled in two graduate programs—the PhD program in economics at MIT and the law program at Harvard Law School—thinking I might finish both. In the end, however, I dropped out of law school after three semesters. Looking back, the decisions to enter and drop out of law school were the right choices. I started because I thought a legal career might be best path for me, and I stopped when I learned it wasn't.
The question we face as designers of educational programs is how to structure them in light of the longer times that PhDs take and the fact that some students who start these programs may rationally choose not to complete them. The answer may be to divide current PhD programs into two chunks. The first chunk would be a two-year master's degree focused on taking advanced courses. The second chunk—appropriate for only a subset of master's students—would be a research degree culminating in the PhD.
Many programs in effect already do that. But the master's degree is too often viewed as a consolation prize for a PhD dropout. Perhaps we should instead encourage people to view the master's degree in economics as a fully respectable terminal degree. Moreover, having finished a master's degree, PhD candidates would be treated as professionals—more like the most junior faculty and less like the most senior students.
Many students leave college wanting to learn a bit more economics. But a PhD may be more than they want or need for their careers. An expansion of master's programs in U.S. economics departments may offer many students the stepping stone they need.Merket med Mastergrad

Medicine Bobblehead
"The smart man knows a bandage only hides his wounds." -- Medicine +10
The first Bobblehead available in the game is available very early on. In fact, it's available before you really even get free reign over your own character. After going through the motions of your character's early childhood (both the toddler stage and the point at which you get your Pip-Boy 3000 from the Overseer), you'll be brought to your father's medical office right before you are to take the G.O.A.T., an important test in every young Vault-Dweller's life. And this is when you should be prepared to grab your first Bobblehead.
After picking your father's brain about the G.O.A.T. (but before taking the test), simply take a look at his desk. You won't confuse which desk is his, because he's sitting at it. There's a computer on one side of the desk. On the other side of the desk, you'll find the Bobblehead you seek. Nice!

I'm using the symbolic package sympy to store a $10 \times 10$ antisymmetric matrix in terms of $10$ variables, and then at every iteration step, I substitute numerical values into the entries of the matrix. however, it's taking too long to substitute values because the symbolic expressions are very complicated. It takes around $100$ seconds for the every substitution and I need at least $10,000$ iterations to get a meaningful result.
So, I was wondering whether there is any speedy way to substitute the values. Right now, I'm just substituting values into the top diagonal half of the matrix, which halves the number of substitutions, but it's still taking too long.

For the more than 36 million Americans who will turn 65 in the coming decade, the best cities and towns for retirement now have a much higher bar to clear. They can't just be great places to live— they also have to offer great value. In our "Retire Here, Not There" series, we survey every state to find less-expensive alternatives to the best-known retirement destinations.
Two factors have always drawn of retirees to Arizona: Its climate and its low cost. Arizona averages 286 days of sunshine per year, fewer than 11 inches of rain and temperatures that rarely fall below freezing in most areas. "When people from the north want a warm, dry climate, they come here," says Jeremy Kisner, president of SureVest Capital Management in Phoenix. "I've never seen the migration go the other way." And as Kory Budinger, a financial planner with Progressive Financial Concepts in Phoenix, points out "a 100 degree day in Arizona can sometimes feel like 85 because it's so dry here"—a perk that humid Florida can't offer.
The nation's recent housing crash was particularly harsh in Arizona, of course—but the silver lining, for folks considering a desert retirement, is that fallen home prices effectively make the cost of living even lower for a newcomer. Though real estate prices are rising in many parts of the Arizona, "many homes are still very affordable compared to four or five years ago," says Budinger. The median home costs about $160,000, down about 35% from 2007, according to data from Zillow.
Overall, the state's cost of living is about 5% below the national average. Income and property taxes are generally relatively low. They're even lower in neighboring New Mexico, which doesn't have an income tax and has become a hotter destination with some retirees. But many advisers think the infrastructure and medical care overall tend to be better in Arizona.
There's more to Arizona than sun and savings, of course. In communities like Tucson and Prescott, says Kisner, "In the morning you can be out in nature hiking or horseback riding and see no one, and in the afternoon checking out museums or restaurants or shopping."
To be sure, Arizona has its downsides. The summers can be brutally hot, and worries about drought and water shortages are a constant concern. And despite the local real-estate and economic slump, some spots in Arizona, like artists' haven Sedona and golfing mecca Scottsdale, are far pricier than the national average. Here are four communities that offer the right balance of amenities, recreation and affordability.

Rickie Darnell Weeks (born September 13, 1982 in Daytona Beach, Florida) is a Major League Baseball second baseman for the Milwaukee Brewers.
Weeks bats and throws right-handed. Until the 2009 season, Weeks had a distinctive batting stance similar to that of Gary Sheffield, waggling his bat heavily before swinging. The waggle is present, but noticeably less aggressive. Weeks pointed to this change when asked about his improved presence at the plate in 2009.
Weeks was born in Daytona Beach, Florida. He is the son of Richard and Valeria Weeks. His sister Kaisha was an NCAA Regional Finalist at Southern University in track. Weeks's brother Jemile Weeks was drafted by the Brewers in 2005 out of high school, but never signed with them, choosing to attend the University of Miami instead. The Oakland Athletics drafted Jemile in the first round of the 2008 MLB Draft twelfth overall. He is currently their starting second baseman.

The City Council has toughened Fremont's smoking restrictions, voting to ban smoking in outdoor areas within 25 feet of building entrances and windows.
Other changes to the city's smoking ordinance include banning tobacco-product vending machines and redefining a retail tobacco store as a business in which 75 percent of the gross sales receipts are from the sale of tobacco or smoking products.
The new ordinance also requires landlords of multiunit rental homes to disclose smoking areas and smoking complaint policies to prospective tenants. In addition, it declares secondhand smoke a nuisance and allows a tenant or property owner to bring a civil nuisance action without having to prove damages.
For more information, visit www.fremont.gov/smokingordinance.
Nominations filed for Oakland police post
As expected, the city and opposing attorneys filed separate slates of candidates Friday to fill a court-appointed position that will hold significant power over Oakland's police force.
The nominations were filed under seal with U.S. District Judge Thelton Henderson, who will ultimately select a compliance director for Oakland's police department.
The director will have authority to spend city funds and overrule top commanders in order to get police fully compliant with a court-sanctioned reform effort agreed to in the wake of the decade-old Riders police brutality scandal.
Henderson can choose one of the candidates proposed, select someone else or order both sides to once again try to agree on a consensus pick. Neither side would say Friday how many candidates it recommended.
Henderson had a federal magistrate oversee negotiations aimed at reaching consensus on a candidate, but no agreement could be reached by Friday's deadline.
The compliance director will be responsible for getting the department to fully implement reforms that were supposed to be completed five years ago.
"After weeks of hard work vetting candidates, the city is looking forward to Judge Henderson's decision," said Mayor Jean Quan's spokesman, Sean Maher. "We're eager to get the compliance director in place and really accelerate the effort to full compliance."
Kaplan tapped for Coliseum authority
Pat Kernighan's first week as City Council president has not gone well for Councilwoman Desley Brooks.
On Wednesday, Kernighan booted Brooks off the council's powerful Rules and Legislation Committee. The next day, Kernighan announced that she was seeking to drop Brooks from the board that oversees the Oakland Coliseum complex.
The full council will vote later this month on Kernighan's proposal to install Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan and Councilman Larry Reid as the council's two representatives on the Oakland Alameda County Coliseum Joint Powers Authority. Reid would be replacing former Councilman Ignacio De La Fuente, who had served on the Coliseum board since its inception.
As council president, Kernighan gets to make appointments. Brooks' two-year term on the Coliseum authority is set to expire this month. The two have a frosty relationship and have occasionally clashed at council meetings over the past year.
Brooks said Kaplan's appointment was a reward for supporting Kernighan's bid for the council presidency. She made a similar accusation earlier this week concerning Councilman Noel Gallo's appointment to chair the council's Public Safety Committee.
The Coliseum board, which also includes representatives from Alameda County, is expected to be busy this year considering proposals for a new Raiders stadium and new leases for both the A's and Raiders.
Brooks, who spearheaded changing the Coliseum's management firm last year, said the city would have benefited from keeping her on the board.
"There are a lot of nuanced issues that are extremely important," Brooks said. "It is clear that (Kaplan) is not aware of those issues. So we are in a compromised issue from the city's perspective."
Kaplan didn't request the appointment but is excited to serve, her spokesman, Jason Overman, said.
Kernighan declined to address Brooks' accusation of horse-trading.
"In making appointments, my job is to find the person who will best serve the city in a particular role," she wrote in an email. "That is why I appointed Councilmember Kaplan to the (authority)."
Newark schools get armed police officer
The City Council on Thursday approved a plan to assign an armed officer to patrol a pair of Newark schools on a part-time basis, restoring a service dropped about three years ago because of budget cuts.
Working under the title of School Liaison Officer, the officer will provide law enforcement services at Newark Junior High School and the MacGregor Alternative Education Center for an average of four hours per day, four days per week during the school year, officials said.
According to an agreement between the city of Newark and the Newark Unified School District, the officer's services will begin Feb. 3 and continue through June 30, 2016.
David Marken, Newark's superintendent of schools, has said that hiring the officer has been in the works for months and is not connected to the massacre last month in Newtown, Conn.

At least before email these things were hand-written and mailed with international postage, which wasn't cheap, so there was some real effort and investment on the part of the perpetrator. Now, there's nothing to lose, and a single email can go to a million recipients.
Nowadays, it's impossible to know where these scams really originate, but in the old days most of the air mail letters really did come from Nigeria, bank deposits were to be made via check to Nigeria and there were even folks who traveled there as a condition of the scam (the NY Times did a piece on one of these individuals a few years ago). Maybe it's kind of a testament to some inherent creativity and perseverance among the citizens of that country. We all know there are crooks everywhere.
Yet, with the obvious scamminess of these efforts, a few people must respond, otherwise they would have ceased long ago. As PT Barnum said, "There's a sucker born every minute."

Actually, the Ukraine and Belo-Russia are the major sources of internet fraud these days. The Nigerians are too busy killing each other.

UO eyepieces are rare as rocking horse dung here, in the last 15 years of owning scopes and buying eyepieces I don't know of anyone selling them.
The next is Western Union is not something that is common here, I can honestly say that in all the years I have been here I have only seen one place advertising Western Union. That was a small dubious looking place in or out of a route around Bradford. I recall the sign as it was unusual to see.

SACRAMENTO — Gov. Jerry Brown has appointed Donn Harris of San Francisco, who is executive and artistic director at the Oakland School for the Arts, to the California Arts Council.
Harris has served in his current position at the public charter since 2007. Before that, he was principal of the Ruth Asawa School of the Arts in San Francisco.
"I am very excited to join the council in these dynamic times," Harris said in a news release. "The arts are rightfully receiving new attention as it is becoming increasingly apparent that creativity is the currency of the millennium."
Harris earned a masters in theater arts from California State University at Los Angeles and received his teaching, special education and administrative services credentials from San Francisco State University. He helped create The Academy of Arts and Sciences in the San Francisco school district in 2005 to serve underrepresented students with unique arts programs.

A Chicago teenager who police believed accidentally killed another teen from Chicago during a fight at an Indiana beach turned himself in this afternoon to authorities in Laporte County, officials said.
Kevin Kennelly, 17, was pronounced dead just before 11 a.m. Wednesday at St. Anthony Hospital in Crown Point, according to a statement from Long Beach Police Chief Marshal Robert Sulkowski. Kennelly was a student at Mount Carmel High School on Chicago's South Side and hailed from the Beverly neighborhood.
Indiana authorities charged James Malecek, 19, of Chicago with aggravated battery, involuntary manslaughter and battery, and issued a warrant for his arrest, according to the statement.
Malecek turned himself in about 12:30 p.m. today at the LaPorte County Sheriff's Office in Indiana, according to a spokesman for the office.
A little before 3 p.m. Malecek was released on a $25,000 cash bail, according to LaPorte County Sheriff's Department Maj. Gary Broling. His next court date was not available.
Police said officers responded Monday at 11:50 p.m. to a call of an unconscious person at a beach in the 2600 block of Lake Shore Drive in Long Beach. When they arrived they found Kennelly on the ground, unconscious, with severe injuries.
He was taken to a local hospital in Michigan City and later flown to the hospital in Crown Point where he died less than two days later.
An autopsy report from the Office of the Lake County Coroner said Kennelly's cause of death was blunt force trauma to the head.
Malecek is accused of punching Kennelly in the head, which authorities believe caused damage to his brain leading to his death, according to a court affidavit.
According to the Mount Carmel website, Kennelly was set to graduate in 2012. He played soccer and was a pitcher on the baseball team.
Tribune reporter Deanese Williams-Harris contributed.

Goss's Wilt Prompted by Wet Weather, Severe Conditions
Corn hybrids with Goss's wilt resistance prevent disease damage
Source: DuPont Pioneer Press Release. www.pioneer.com
Des Moines, Iowa (July 22, 2013)--While Goss's wilt wasn't a significant problem in 2012, more intense storm systems this year could cause it to emerge as a problem for corn growers as the disease continues its movement eastward from the Great Plains.
"This disease can overwinter in the soil and crop debris for a few years, so if growers have had a problem before, it could be an issue again this year," says Scott Heuchelin, DuPont Pioneer research scientist, plant pathology.
Historically, infections have been limited to western Nebraska and eastern Colorado, but in recent years Goss's wilt has been on the move. It is now found as far north as Canada and as far east as Indiana. Depending on weather conditions and hybrid susceptibility, the disease may cause only minor problems or it may result in devastating damage, such as yield losses approaching 50 percent.
Several conditions must be present for Goss's wilt to produce significant damage. If the bacterium is already present in the field and a susceptible hybrid is planted in the field, the next main contributing factor is severe weather. Wind, sandblasting and hail create wounds for the bacteria to enter. Wet weather and high humidity are also needed for escalation of disease development.
Symptoms and scouting
"Because this infection can appear in two phases, early and midseason, it's important to scout for Goss's wilt throughout the season to see if your fields suffer from the disease and to manage against it over the long-term," Heuchelin reports. "This disease can also look like normal environmental stresses such as sun scald and drought stress, which makes scouting for it even more vital."
While the systemic wilt phase is less common than the foliar phase, scout early for Goss's wilt. Early season infections can result in discolored vascular tissue within the stalk. Those cases show a buildup of bacteria in the vascular bundles that inhibits the plant's ability to transfer water. Stunted growth and wilting as if drought stressed is another symptom to watch for.
Midseason signs and symptoms include distinct dark green to black "freckles" within or just outside of leaf lesions. Shiny or glistening patches of dried bacterial ooze on the lesions, similar to a thin layer of varnish, can also be observed. Other signs of infection are water-soaked streaks accompanied by tan-to-gray lesions that run lengthwise on the leaves.
Management options
In-season management choices for Goss's wilt are very limited, so understanding your options is vital.
"A fungicide application will not work on bacterial diseases such as Goss's wilt. The best strategy is prevention in the off-season with selection of a hybrid containing native resistance to the disease and incorporating crop rotation and tillage to minimize survival of the bacteria," Heuchelin reports.
DuPont Pioneer has been researching this devastating disease for more than 20 years, making the company an industry leader when it comes to Goss's wilt. Most of the research has taken place in the western Corn Belt, the geographic origin of the disease. However, Pioneer researchers have identified the genes for resistance and bred hybrids with resistance to Goss's wilt for locations further eastward, expanding choices for those who want protection against this disease.
Reducing corn residue through crop rotation or tillage is another management practice that helps you combat this disease. One reason for the prevalence of Goss's wilt is due to the recent increase of corn-on-corn acres where the bacteria can overwinter in the remaining residue. Good weed control is also now more important than ever because weeds such as green foxtail, barnyardgrass or shattercane are hosts for this bacterium. Heuchelin also suggests harvesting and tilling infected fields last and then cleaning your equipment to help avoid spreading the pathogen to uninfected fields.
The new Pioneer® Field360™ Notes app will help you track field notes on Goss's wilt and assist with scouting. This tool streamlines and organizes field-by-field agronomic information for communication among DuPont Pioneer agronomists, sales professionals and growers, and is compatible with all tablets and mobile devices.
For more information on scouting and management of Goss's wilt, contact your local Pioneer sales professional.

The first day of the Burn Kitesurf World Cup started with two ladders of slalom in the morning and finished with 23 heats of the kite masters. Oswald Smith and Christine Boenniger dominated both finals and no one as yet set himself apart in the kite masters. Smith, Corniel, Serin, Scholte, Kerneur and a few more are looking like possible winners of this kite masters. The winds were around twenty knots all day with nice little waves providing kickers for the freestyler and obstacles for the races. Both races were run through the waves which brought a new element that most riders had never encountered before while racing.
The morning finished off with a few last minute registrations and then the first race was started. The men's fleet is stacked with 22 top riders like Lake, Grubber, Bridge, Smith and many more. The conditions were challenging for the racers that are accustomed to racing in light winds and flater water. Jibing around marks positioned inside the wave's brought a new challenge to many riders. Kerneur, Bridge and a few other riders opted for a twin tips in the first race to adapt to the bumpy conditions.
The first final featured all the top riders apart from Castel who crashed and failed to advance and gave Gelenk a local rider the chance to make a final. The race to the first mark was intense with Bryan arriving first and making it safely around the mark followed by Smith and the rest of the pack. Smith made his move on the 3rd mark when Lake was slow accelerating and Smith passed him. Local favorite Cakir came in third holding off Kerneur and Grubber.
The second men's final was held after lunch and a press conference introducing the top riders. All the riders went back on the water eager to win a race. Lake came out really fast but crashed on a wave and let Smith, Grubber and Kerneur by him. All three riders charged hard to make the podium but it was once again Smith who came out on Top followed by Grubber, Kerneur and lake in 4th.
The girls finals were dominated by Christine Boenniger who was extremely consistent around the course, not making any errors. The two local girls Ceylan and Ozturk were also very good but could not match the speed of Boenniger. Elena Kalinina was also fast but had a hard time controlling her race board in the waves. After two finals, Boenniger is the Girl to beat.
The kite masters is a competition format that combines technical tricks and big air. A score is given for big air and another for freestyle tricks and the trick total gives you a final score. This means that riders must be very good all-around riders to do well in this discipline. The format is run in a round robin, meaning that all the riders run multiple heats and at the end of the 30 heats with 12 riders the top 4 are selected to go into a final. This format gives the riders many opportunities to go on the water and showcase their skills against a variety of adversaries.
The competition started with the trials to allow 3 of the top Turkish riders to meet the top 9 international competitors. Aykurt and Ozen qualified in the round while Gelenk had to go another heat to make into the main event. Lake put a great show with his skim board and landed some very technical tricks but could not get the air he needed to advance.
The heats were five minutes with two minute transitions, this made the action none stop and feature some big moves. Ariel Corniel was one of the stands going big while landing some technical passes. Paul Serin put on a good airshow. Local rider Taner Aykurt impressed the judges with clean back mobes and 360 boardoffs. Smith also had some great powered moves showing how complete of a rider he is after winning two races the same days. Florian Grubber and Kerneur also went for some big air but were lacking the powered moves.

Did Random House and author Gary Schroen expose a CIA operative to mortal danger? Covert agent John Peppe thinks so. Peppe has sued Schroen and Random House for printing Schroen's book First In, An Insider's Account of How the CIA Spearheaded the War on Terror in Afghanistan. According to Peppe's complaint filed last June in Alexandria, VA, author Schroen (also a CIA man) and the publisher undercut efforts to obscure Peppe's identity with a false name by publishing "clear photographs" of Peppe on pgs. 192-193 of First In.
According to Peppe, the photos constituted "an invasion of privacy." He had his lawyer get in touch with Schroen and Random House to do something about the pictures right away but by November of 2009 it was too late–First In had been published, say court papers, "on the internet," causing "irreparable damage" to Peppe's career in the CIA. Worse, Peppe and his attorneys believe the photographs put the operative in danger of becoming "subject to a fatwa."
Peppe is seeking a cool $1 million in fatwa-alleviating damages.

Amazon introduced its new textbook rental service today, just in time for back-to-school season. Similar to other rental sites like Chegg and UW's University Bookstore rentals, Amazon offers students the option to pay a fraction of the book's cover price to borrow the book for 130 days (one semester). Students then send the books back, free of return shipping, in like-new condition. This service is a great idea for students who have a difficult time paying full price for textbooks, but need them for a course.
Textbook rental is nothing new, but a company like Amazon joining the market may change things for it in the near future. Amazon also currently offers eBook rentals, available for reading through their Kindle devices and apps.

S10 E24 Season Finale: Fear (of the Unknown)
Cristina can't put off her move to Zurich any longer. She needs to pop by the mall to get a European charger for her phone. She kisses Owen goodbye after spending the night with him. This isn't their big goodbye though. That'll come later.
In random news, Alex is being groomed to be a junior Dr. Butthole at his new private practice. Funding for Bailey's genome lab is being yanked. Derek and Meredith are planning their move to DC. They'll keep their seats on the hospital board though. Finally, April breaks the news of her pregnancy to Owen. He's happy for her, but a news report on the TV demands his attention. There's been an explosion at a local mall. This is troubling news on many levels, as Cristina was going to a mall.
The hospital is flooded with injured patients from the mall explosion. Homeland Security questions a suspicious patient, but Meredith orders them out of her way so she can treat her crashing patient. Owen is managing the chaos while trying to get hold of Cristina. Jackson and Callie work on a surrogate mom who desperately wants to carry her baby to term. Her water breaks so Arizona does a C-Section. Catherine Avery came to visit Jackson, but jumps in to help treat the wounded. Leah is back, too. With coolness and precision, she helps Shane repairs a patient's hideously injured eye. She leaves again without fanfare once all her work is done.
A young boy is missing amongst the wounded. Alex finds a kid being worked on after having been down for a full minute. Cristina steps in to help. She never made it to the mall. As for the young boy, his chest needs to be cracked. Cristina tells Alex that he's already there. He should do it. Inside the hospital, Owen thinks he sees Cristina but ultimately can't find her in the crowd. He lets out his frustration on a TV reporter who is scaring everyone with unsubstantiated reports that the carnage was the result of a dirty bomb. The truth is the explosion was caused by a gas main explosion.
Cristina works on the young boy while ordering her new boss for one more day, Dr. Maggie Pierce, to prep an OR so she can do a heart transplant on her patient, Link. She chastises Alex for wasting his talents in a private practice.
April is thrilled to reunite the young boy with his father, but the man tells her that the patient they found isn't his son. Catherine helps April get over her doubts about being able to raise a child in the world we currently live it. She lets her know there are always going to be accidents and stupid people out there. That's just the way it is. But if you don't give in to the fear, they the fear will never have the power.
Cristina is desperate to finish things at the hospital. That's why she wants to work on Link. Nothing feels finished. Meredith says she doesn't feel finished because this isn't the end for her. She has to go. Meredith will help her. Cristina hugs Derek goodbye. It's not long. It's not overly emotional. It's exactly what it needs to be.
Cristina says goodbye to Richard and Bailey, but not Shane. He's going to Switzerland to be with his teacher. Later. Right now, Cristina has a plane to catch. She finds the OR where Owen is in surgery. She knocks on the observation window. Cristina and Owen share one last knowing look with each other. Then she's gone.
Meredith rushes Cristina outside where a cab has just pulled up. The courier who gets out has Link's new heart. Cristina wants to do the surgery. Meredith won't let her. They have it covered. Cristina needs to go. Now! Meredith wonders if she needs an "I love you" before her departure. She doesn't wait for an answer. Meredith says, "I love you. Call me when you get there."
Meredith sends the cab away. Cristina looks back at her best friend in the world through the cab window. Then she looks forward. It's time for her to go forward. Well, maybe not just yet. She needs to dance it out with Meredith before she goes. That's how they finish. Before they get down, Cristina gives Meredith instructions. She can't let Owen get dark and twisty. Alex needs to be mocked at least once a day. Things like that. She also tells Meredith to not be a hero. She's her person. She need her alive. She makes her brave. Then they dance. Then Cristina goes.
Callie and Arizona look on as the surrogate mom is reunited with the parents of the baby they helped save. Maybe surrogacy is something for them, too. Jackson and April are also having renewed baby faith. Their child will be just fine because they'll always be there for him or her.
Owen watches from afar as the new head of cardio gives Link's mom the news that the transplant went just fine. He knows that Cristina was the driving force that made this joyous day possible. Elsewhere, Bailey is giddy about the news that Richard is recommending her for Cristina's seat on the board. What she doesn't know is that Cristina left her shares in the hospital and her seat on the board to Alex. In other news, Richard has a chat with the new head of cardio, Dr. Maggie Pierce. He learns she was adopted. Her birth mom's name is all over the hospital. She was Ellis Grey. Needless to say, Richard is totally thrown by this revelation.
Before Cristina left, she told Meredith that she's the sun. She shouldn't let what anyone wants eclipse what she needs no matter how McDreamy they may be. That's why Meredith can't sign the papers on the home Derek found for them in DC. She thinks she needs to stay right where she is. This leads to a big blowup fight. The bottom line is that Meredith doesn't want to leave. She's not going anywhere. Cristina, however, is already gone. She's enthusiastically beginning her new adventure as Director of Cardiothoracic Surgery so may miles away from the place where she started. It's just geography. Wherever Dr. Cristina Yang goes, she'll be brilliant.
