Welcome to the continuation of the SharePoint Framework Development series, In an earlier article we saw how to set up the environment and the tool chains required to start the development using SharePoint Framework(SPFx). You may also read through the simple Hello World Web part using TypeScript and explore the project structure of SPFx.
In this article we will see how to deploy a custom list to SharePoint Online using SPFx. The major files used for the demo can be downloaded from here.

#2 Develop your first client webpart
#3 How to retrieve Items using SPFx
#4 How to Provision custom List
#5 How to Provision Site columns, content types and Lists
#6 SPFx development using PNP JS
#7 Provision list using PNP JS
#8 How to retrieve user profile properties using PNP JS
#9 How to get search results using PNP JS
#10 How to perform CRUD Operations
#11 How to retrieve items using React
We can create the directory, where we will be adding the solution, using the command given below.
md CustomList
Let's move to the newly created working directory, using the command.
cd CustomList
We will then create the client Web part project structure by running the Yeoman SharePoint Generator.
yo @microsoft/sharepoint
This will display the prompt, which we must fill up, to proceed with the project creation.
● What is your solution name? : Set it to 'CustomList'.
On pressing enter, we will be asked to chose the working folder for the project.
● Where do you want to place your files- Use current folder.
● What framework would you like to start with- Select "No javaScript web framework" for the time being, as this is a sample Web part.
● What is your Webpart name- We will specify it as 'CustomList 'and press Enter
● What is your Webpart description- We will specify it as 'Custom List Created using SharePoint Framework'
Yeoman has started working on the scaffolding of the project. It will install the required dependencies and scaffold the solution files for the 'CustomList' Web part, which will take some time to complete. Once completed, we will get a congratulations message.
Run Code . to create the scaffolding and open the project in Visual Studio Code
Now let's add the folder named 'SharePoint' to maintain the SharePoint files that will be deployed as a package.
Within the SharePoint folder lets add another sub folder named Assets.
We will be creating an xml file - elements.xml which will hold the information required to provision the list. Let's create the first supporting xml file elements.xml.
Add the below list information to the elements.xml file which contains the list name and type. The feature Id '00bfea71-de22-43b2-a848-c05709900100' refers to custom list.
Thus we have created the solution structure and added the list information in the xml file which will be automatically provisioned when the solution is deployed. However we have to make sure that this elements.xml file is packaged as part of the solution.In the older SharePoint Server side solutions we would be using Features to implement this. Similarly we have a Feature Framework for SPFx as well. In order to do this we will be adding a feature definition in the package-solution.json file in the configuration folder.
After adding the feature definition in the package-solution.json, it will look like below:
Thus we are done with the addition of the list creation information. Now let's create the deployment package by running gulp serve command from the Node.js command prompt.
This will create the sppkg package in the solutions folder as shown below.
Take a note of the sppkg file url by opening it in File Explorer.
We will be uploading this package to the App Catalog in the next step.
Head over to the App Catalog and upload the package.
After upload, it will ask if we trust the package. Click on Deploy to add the solution.
If we refresh the App Catalog page we can see the uploaded solution.
Ensure that there are no errors for the uploaded package by checking the below columns. In case there are some errors, we won't be able to add the solution to the site.
Now if we head over to the site, we can see the newly uploaded solution in the site contents.
Click on it to add the solution to the site.
This will add the solution to the site contents. At the same time, it will provision whatever site assets were deployed as part of it. In our case, it is a custom list with the name 'Custom List'. We can see it from the Site contents as shown below.
Thus we saw how to provision custom list using SharePoint Framework. In the next post we will see how to site columns and content types using SharePoint Framework and use them to create the custom list.

This level of vulnerability to an attacker in control of the network doesn't seem to meet the standards i'd hope for a robust, freedom-preserving scheme. So that leaves https:// WebIDs, which in turn need some sort of certificate validation. I'm pretty sure that any WebID that points to an https:// URL relies on the CA cartel to validate the backhaul connection, in the current implementations, no? Either the certificate validation is not happening (in which case the scheme is vulnerable to an attacker in control of the network again), or the certificate validation relies on some set of CAs. I'm happy that WebID is trying to sidestep the CA cartel for end-user certificates. But it seems to rely on either (a) centralized, cryptographically-guaranteed DNS (DNSSEC) or (b) the CA cartel to validate the server-side certificates (or both). Both of these options leave a handful of fairly unaccountable middlemen with the ability to perform denial of service attacks on end user identities and even impersonations. I'd love to hear suggestions for improving the scheme to be resistant to these middlemen, but i don't think i've heard any of them yet. --dkg -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Tag Groups are another layer to organizing content with tags. It's unlikely that you'll use Tag Groups unless your web developer employs them for a custom application. Please ask your developer to document specific use of your Tag Groups, as there is no standard application.
An example use for Tag Groups might be a dinner menu, where normal tags are used to categorize food like "salad", "soup" "meat", or "cake", etc. A Tag Group might then be used to organize tags into courses, where "Appetizers" might be a Tag Group with "salad" and "soup" within that group.
Another example might be a staff directory where people are tagged with their working group like "business development" or "payroll" while Tag Groups may be used for departments like "Sales" or "Human Resources".
Tag Groups are a way to hierarchically organize tags while retaining their wonderful nebulous characteristics for categorization.

New York's Free College Plan: Benefits and Shortcomings
Many college students starting the new school year in New York will be part of a policy experiment that is being closely watched by educators, policymakers and the public. This fall semester, New York will begin offering free tuition at its two- and four-year public colleges and universities. Called the "Excelsior Scholarship," this ambitious scholarship program has admirable goals but also several drawbacks that have stirred up controversy.
How It Works
New York's Excelsior Scholarship covers tuition costs only—meaning that it does not include student fees, books, living expenses, or room and board. To be eligible for free tuition, students must meet several criteria: be New York residents for at least a year, earn at least 30 credits each year and remain in good academic standing, and their families cannot earn more than $100,000 annually (with the cap increasing to $125,000 by 2019). After graduation, recipients are required to live and work in New York state for as many years as they received the scholarship. If a beneficiary fails to meet these requirements, the scholarship can turn into an interest-free loan.
The scholarship is a "last-dollar" program, meaning that the state covers those tuition expenses that remain after deducting all other forms of grant aid that the student receives—such as institutional scholarships or Pell Grants. This is the same model as the recently implemented "Tennessee Promise" program—which offers Tennessee residents free tuition to in-state community colleges—with the objective of bridging the funding gap between other forms of aid and the total cost of tuition. The "last-dollar" approach improves a state's return on investment compared to a system under which the state pays the full cost of tuition because it only covers the otherwise unfunded portion of each recipient's tuition.
Benefits of the plan
The Excelsior Scholarship seeks to make college affordable and accessible for middle-class students, who generally do not qualify for need-based federal financial aid (such as Pell Grants). For some who would attend college anyway, the scholarship will likely reduce reliance on federal student loans. This is a welcome development given the ballooning trend of student borrowing that has reached an alarming level of $1.3 trillion in total outstanding debt nationally. It is also anticipated to encourage some New Yorkers to pursue a post-secondary education that they might otherwise have been viewed as unaffordable. Student debt can deter students from enrolling in college, and the Excelsior Scholarship is the first state legislation to offer a large-scale alternative to student loans at four-year institutions.
The plan also addresses the issue of degree completion. Currently, just 40 percent of first-time, full-time college students in the U.S. graduate within four years; just 60 percent graduate within six years. The Excelsior Scholarship's stipulation that students earn at least 30 credits each year is expected to encourage more New York students to graduate on time. Although students who are unable to stay on track must repay the aid, the requirements are flexible to help students facing hardship, for example by allowing students to take less credits in one semester than another.
Shortcomings of the plan
Opponents contend that the Excelsior Scholarship is poorly targeted, and the scholarship merely fills tuition gaps. Because many low-income students already receive large tuition discounts from public institutions—generally from a combination of Pell Grants and aid offered by colleges—opponents say the program's benefits will disproportionately flow to middle- and upper-middle-class students.
This plan also may not address pervasive, underlying issues that prevent broader access to the higher education system. Free tuition alone is unlikely to eliminate many of the barriers low-income and non-traditional students face in college—like balancing full-time work while attending school, or meeting childcare costs and living expenses. The Excelsior Scholarship also does not cover room and board costs, which have skyrocketed in recent years and are especially high in areas such as New York City. The plan fails to address the widespread lack of college preparedness among low-income students because it does not cover the cost of remedial classes.
These concerns point to an important trade-off: should states focus their limited resources on promoting middle-class college affordability, or working to eradicate the challenges that low-income students face in the higher education system?
Many New York students will see their college bills dramatically decline this semester, but policymakers must grapple with the trade-offs that this approach poses and the remaining barriers to widespread higher education success. Nonetheless, it is encouraging to see that Governor Andrew Cuomo and the state legislature recognize the pressing issue of college affordability. Over the next several years, this experiment in New York's "laboratory of democracy" will provide important lessons for policymakers across the country.

Anne-Sophie Fenner übernahm 2016 die Tanzgruppe von Annalies Preisig. Die Gruppe tanzt seit 2017 unter dem neuen Namen: 'tanzcontiunuum'
Zwischen den eigenen Produktionen für ihr Tanztheater, arbeitet Anne-Sophie Fenner auch als Gastchoreografin für andere Kompanien oder Projekte.
2013 kreierten Anne-Sophie Fenner und Ivan Blagajcevic den 'Totentanz' für das Kammerorchester 'tacchi alti'
2014, 2015 und 2016 arbeitete sie als Choreografin für die freeoperacompany (Künstlerische Leitung Bruno Rauch) Opernproduktionen: I due Figaro 2014/ La dame blanche 2015/ Liebe und Eifersucht 2016.
Mondays 2pm-3.30pm
GZ Riesbach, 8008 Zürich
Openclass for dancers
Anne-Sophie Fenner is teaching a Limon-style based Contemporary dance class. Please write me an email if you are interested: firstname.lastname@example.com
This class is an open-level class. It accommodates all levels, from intermediate to professional. Please contact me if you are not sure what this means.
I believe that if we are truthful in our motivation to move, dance communicates in the most direct way, because it connects to our kinetic sense which sets free emotions and this is exactly what we want as performers on stage.
The technique class that I teach is based on the principles of the "Limon-Technique" which I combine with improvisation tools to enhance the dancers ability to be in the moment and develop their kinetic awareness.
There are many ideas that are associated with the Limón technique, i.e. its humanism, its use of breath, musicality, lyricism and its dramatic qualities; however, the overwhelming consensus is that through the movement there is always demonstrated a physical expression of the human spirit.
The various physical extremes: fall and recovery, rebound, weight, suspension, succession and isolation in combination with the emotional motivation for each movement allow the dancer to fully explore space and be authentic. As a choreographer these abilities are the most important skills and tools I ask from my dancers when I create a new choreography. If this awareness is not trained in a dancer, the dancer will not reach the heart of the audience – and this is ultimately what we want: communicate on an emotional level with the audience.

An American Soldier Has Died in 'Post-War' Afghanistan
An Afghan ally fired the killing shot
Uncategorized April 10, 2015 Kevin Knodell 1
On April 8, a member of the Afghan National Army killed 22-year-old American paratrooper and medic Spc. John Dawson. It happened in Jalalabad at the provincial governor's compound.
Dawson, a member of the 101st Airborne Division, is the first American soldier killed in Afghanistan since NATO-led combat operations officially ended last year and Afghan forces ostensibly took the lead.
Dawson — and several other Americans wounded in the shooting — were part of a security detail for a meeting between American and Afghan officials. Coalition forces acknowledged the death, tweeting that a member of the NATO mission died in an "incident."
"He wanted to join the Army and serve and be useful," James Baxendale, Dawson's cousin, told the Boston Herald. "He wanted to be a medic."
The U.S. has officially ended its combat mission in Afghanistan, but still keeps around 10,000 troops in the country. But the war is still very much ongoing.
On Jan. 29, an Afghan soldier killed three American contractors at Kabul International Airport. On Feb. 26, a suicide bomber killed a Turkish soldier with the NATO Resolute Support advisory mission.
It's unclear what motivated Dawson's killing, but Afghan soldiers firing on friendly troops is all too common. Coalition forces even have a name for it. The incidents are "green-on-blues" — as opposed to "blue-on-blue" for unintentional friendly fire incidents.
At times during the Afghan war, green-on-blues killed almost as many coalition troops as improvised explosive devices. The peak occurred in 2012 when 38 green-on-blues incidents claimed the lives of 53 U.S. troops.
These insider assaults happen for a variety of reasons, and because the attackers often die during or shortly after the incidents, it's hard to determine a motive.
In some cases, the culprits are Taliban agents. Militant groups often have spies or defectors among Afghanistan's security forces, and Taliban infiltration is worse among the country's police.
But that's not the only reason. Many times, the attacks are a result of cultural misunderstandings.
In 2012, members of a U.S. Army Special Forces team in Afghanistan said American troops often offended their Afghan counterparts — sometimes without even knowing it.
U.S. advisers sometimes used mock insults on Afghan trainees or playfully punched them on the shoulders. To Americans, it's all in good fun. But such acts can offend honor-conscious Afghans who see them as insults.
The number of attacks went down significantly in 2013, when 10 insider attacks resulted in 16 deaths. Better training and a decreased Western troop presence played a role. But on Aug. 5, 2014, an Afghan soldier killed U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Harold Greene.
Greene is the highest ranking American service member killed overseas since the Vietnam War. That attack wounded sixteen others — including German army Brig. Gen. Michael Bartscher, several American and British troops, two Afghan generals and another Afghan officer.
Coalition troops aren't the only targets. Afghans troops also attack fellow Afghans.
These incidents have similarly been a mix of Taliban infiltration and killings over honor. Afghan officers regularly skim off their subordinates' paychecks … or mistreat them. Corruption and theft has caused tensions within the Afghan army to bubble over into violence.
Some studies suggest that the number of Afghan victims of these attacks are roughly equal to or even surpass assaults on NATO troops. But that's cold comfort for coalition troops still operating in the country.

This native bird is a common sight throughout the nation's bush. There are about 40 different species. All have a big tail that is able to fan out in common. The tail is where they got their name from. The fan like tail is not only for decoration. It helps the bird to turn sharply when hunting its prey with precision and speed.
Their diet consists of small insects and invertebrates. The bird has two forms of hunting one is to sit and wait for insects to fly by and then fly after them. Once their hunt had been successful the prey is returned to its perch for consumption. Another way is for the bird to be walking along the vegetation looking for its prey.
The nesting birds share the role of looking after the young ones and nest building. The nests are made with grass stems held together with spider silk. A ten day creation phase lets the nesting couple finish a nest in a cup like shape, ready for the breeding period.

Peaches & Pits {September 2015}
Writers block is in full force right now, anyone else experiencing this? Well to say it's been slow around here would be an understatement. I've been trying to keep up with the blog, among all the other crap that I have going on.
So, tonight I thought it might be fun to do a mid-monthly round-up of some of the peachy things going on around here, and some of the not-so peachy things(the pits).
As most of you know, work started back up, as well as school, to say that school is kicking my ass would be an understatement. Things have been quite busy but there has actually been a lot of fun stuff happening too.
So without further ado, here are my peaches…
-Getting praise from my principal
-Working in a kick-ass classroom this year
-Going apple picking with my love in NJ
-Taking a {free} tour of the Gossip Girl sites in NYC later on this month
-Not needing to have an endoscopy done on my ulcer
-Spending time with my boyfriends family
-Getting invited to another event at the Newport Marriott
Ahhh the pits…
-Sucking at math
-Spending almost $60/week in math tutors (yes I have more than 1)
-Sitting so much at my desk, I sent my back into a spasm (doing the math)
-Over drafting my bank account (again)
-Having to borrow money to cover the over draft
-Not having a paycheck in almost 3 weeks, which explains the over draft (yay being a teacher)
-Gaining weight because school work is consuming my life=no time for the gym
-Feeling shitty about gaining the weight
Yikes!! I didn't realize how bad things were getting around here until I started typing. Yes, I have some awesome things that have happened or will be happening, but I must admit, the pits are really starting to get to me. Hopefully I can cross a couple of the list, and that way next month I hope to have more peaches in my list.
What are your peaches/pits for the month, week, day? Let us know in the comments below!
xoxo Lindsay

I feel you on the math. That was the worst subject in college. I think I went broke paying for tutors. Yay words, boo numbers. But hooray for apple picking and having someone who was able to help you cover your overdraft!View Comment

Hitachi, BlueArc announce OEM partnership
What had been rumored to be an acquisition has turned out to be an OEM deal, but HDS has also made an investment in BlueArc, indicating an acquisition could be the next step.
BlueArc Corp.'s Titan network attached storage (NAS) head will function as a gateway in front of Hitachi Data Systems Inc.'s (HDS) storage, and BlueArc will resell HDS storage products under the terms of a new OEM deal, the companies announced this morning.
The combined product, dubbed the Hitachi High-Performance NAS Platform, is being aggressively positioned by HDS as its entry into the high-performance computing (HPC) market. The Titan NAS heads are high performing, with up to 10 gigabytes per second (GBps) throughput, which matches the maximum performance claims from clustered storage competitor Isilon Systems Inc. Titan heads can also be clustered. Currently, the two companies will be offering a maximum cluster of two Titan NAS heads, a configuration that scales up to 1 petabyte (PB).
"We support scaling up and clustering -- it just takes a lot fewer BlueArc devices to get to the level of other HPC clusters," said John Affeld, director of product marketing for BlueArc. "It'll eventually go beyond two [nodes]," he added, "but the market will have to drive that demand."
Meanwhile, analysts said they're not sure about the HPC spin. HDS has also had some success with NAS blades, announced in April 2005, which are designed to be attached to its TagmaStore arrays. The blades won the Storage magazine and Diogenes Labs Quality Awards for enterprise NAS in May (see sidebar), but they can't achieve the scale of the BlueArc system and lack important features like file-level replication and global namespace.
"The real news here is that BlueArc's file access is being integrated with Hitachi's replication product, and file and block systems can both be managed under [HDS's HiCommand] management console," said Dianne McAdam, director of enterprise information assurance with the Clipper Group.
According to Arun Taneja, founder and analyst with the Taneja Group, clustered NAS is "in its infancy in the grand scheme of things," and the deal was probably inked in order to address a market beyond HPC. "This fits into the high end where HDS storage customers are," Taneja said.
Despite the success of the HDS NAS blades, Taneja said there was still a gap in the NAS portfolio that has nothing to do with HPC. "As a predominantly block-storage supplier, HDS has always been at a disadvantage against other big companies when it comes to NAS," Taneja said, and the other big players also have clustered NAS partners already. IBM has Network Appliance (NetApp), Hewlett-Packard Co. (HP) has PolyServe Inc. and EMC Corp. has its own Celerra NAS products. "There aren't that many options left."
This would be HDS's second attempt at partnering on NAS, something analysts picked up on in a conference call with HDS president and CEO Dave Roberson and BlueArc's president and CEO Mike Gustafson Monday morning.
"You've had NAS partnerships previously and haven't attained market leadership," said Tony Asaro, analyst with the Enterprise Strategy Group, in response to Roberson's declaration that this partnership would rocket both companies to the top of the high-end NAS market. "What's different this time?"
Roberson replied that in addition to being a higher end product than HDS's previous OEM products from NetApp and its own internally developed NAS blades, the new product has already garnered major interest from the HDS customer base.
"We sold our first solution before we even made the announcement," Roberson said. "We've already done a substantial number of [sales] quotes [for the new product]. There's a healthy demand."
"We're happy with [NetApp], but we'd definitely be interested in buying NAS from Hitachi -- it always makes it easier to buy from one vendor," John Parish, associate vice president in charge of terminal technology, Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport Board, told SearchStorage.com when rumors of an HDS-BlueArc deal first broke.
Could an acquisition still be in the works?
HDS is traditionally not an acquisitive company, but analysts said the announcement of an OEM deal doesn't necessarily close the door on the possibility of an acquisition in the near future, especially since HDS also made an investment in BlueArc for an undisclosed amount as part of the OEM deal.
BlueArc has received more than $200 million in venture capital funding, something that would make them incredibly pricey to acquire, according to Taneja. "For the VCs to get any kind of return on their investment would require $500 million," either in sales or in an acquisition bid, and "Hitachi could definitely sell that amount of NAS with its access to the channel."
According to another analyst who asked not to be named, the investment "either means BlueArc badly needed an influx of cash, or it could be a test before [Hitachi] buys them later -- this may be a trial."
"I wouldn't be surprised if this was step one of two or three steps, the final step being an acquisition," Taneja said.

Place names can be endlessly fascinating, particular for the insight they give you to where you live and its history. Happily, the district I live in is the oldest part of the city of Dublin, called The Liberties and it's packed full of evocative names like Marrowbone Lane, Winetavern Street and Fishamble Street, to name a few. But the two most extraordinary names are those of two laneways, long since renamed. They are Murdering Lane and Cutthroat Lane.
City maps of the late 18th century record a Cutthroat Lane East and a Cutthroat Lane West, in case you were unsure where the murderous deed occurred. It now has the more decorous name of Brookfield Road although, for a time, it was called Roundhead Row. More on that later.
Close to Cutthroat Lane, there's another laneway, a steep, stepped climb from the Camac River and Bow Lane to James's St. A city map from 1603 records this lane's name as Murding Lane which later became Murdering Lane.
If old city streets referred to the chosen profession of its inhabitants, then Cutthroat Lane and Murdering Lane were hardly hot tourist spots of their time. Indeed, there was another lane in the same district known as Cutpurse Lane which, one hopes, was not a well trod shortcut.
That named was changed again to Cromwell's Quarters at a Municipal Council meeting of December 28, 1876, following the recommendations of a council committee to change the names of both Cutthroat Lane and Murdering Lane. The change was proposed by an Alderman McSwiney who suggested the names be replaced by Roundhead Row and Cromwell's Quarter's, respectfully.
When asked to explain his proposed changes, Alderman McSwiney is reported to have replied, 'to preserve historical continuity.' This, according to contemporary reports, was greeted with laughter as Oliver Cromwell's sojourn in Ireland from 1649 to 1653, accompanied by his New Model Army, distinctive for their round shaped helmets, was both brutal and bloody.
Ironically, the Cromwell's Quarters referred to in the street name was a reference to his fourth son, Henry Cromwell, whom Oliver left behind him as Lord Lieutenant and who served as seventh chancellor of Trinity College, Dublin from 1653 to 1660. As Lord Lieutenant he resided in the Vice-Regal Lodge, Phoenix House which then could be viewed across the river Liffey from Murdering Lane and is now the home of the President of Ireland.

For over three decades, George Perez's name has been synonymous with the biggest and brightest superheroes at DC and Marvel Comics. From building up the worlds of solo stars like Wonder Woman to packing tight teams like the Avengers and the New Teen Titans, the detail-driven artist has made his mark in those universes time and again.
But now, it's time for Perez to try something different, both creatively and in his career.
BOOM! Studios today revealed to CBR News that Perez has signed on as an exclusive artist with the company -- a different kind of exclusive deal than is normally seen in the industry Perez will start his contract as a staff artist with the company, beginning with work on current BOOM! titles and properties before branching out into brand-new original work. For the artist, the move is a chance not only for a stable home but also to stretch his writing muscles in new ways after feeling restricted on recent corporate gigs like DC's New 52 relaunch of "Superman."
Perez explained to CBR News why he's ready to step away from from big corporate comics for the time being, what he foresees as his future on the BOOM! team, which books and collaborators you won't see him doing out the gate and when you'll hear more about his next creation.
CBR News: Generally speaking, I feel like moving towards more original work has been a theme for a lot of creators of late. What, for you, was the deciding factor in making this shift, and what kinds of comics are you most interested in making now that you're not going to be working on the corporate superhero side of things for the foreseeable future?
George Perez: Well, while I have enjoyed considerable professional and personal success with both Marvel and DC, it was becoming all too evident that many of the books being produced by both companies seem to be getting more and more corporate driven. Many of the characters I grew up with were turning into strangers whose adventures were determined by factors that had less and less to do with what made a good comic story and more to do with how these properties can be exploited for other purposes. There's nothing wrong with that, I guess, but not something that I felt was particularly satisfying for me as a storyteller.
That said, I don't doubt that a creator of your caliber would be able to pitch a series anywhere from DC and Marvel on down through every publisher listed in the Previews catalog. Why was BOOM! the place you decided to make your new home?
I don't know about that first statement, especially regarding DC and Marvel. From what I can see, it's not the new that either company wants now, it's the familiar. Why gamble with an unknown property when another Batman or Avengers title might be more of a sure thing? Fewer and fewer final decisions are made at the editorial level. Warner and Disney think they can do it all better -- and they're the ones with control and money.
When I was approached by BOOM!, they offered me a chance to work on something I wanted to do, something they hoped would rekindle the creative spark that I felt was being squelched these past few years. I was also offered something that was a bit unique -- an employment contract, meaning I would actually receive all benefits of being an employee with tax withholding and medical benefits. To be fair, I was receiving medical benefits at the Big Two as well, but it was frightfully expensive and required full exclusivity. BOOM!'s package is a little more flexible regarding exclusivity -- and a good deal cheaper.
Also, I liked talking with Ross, Filip, Matt and the whole BOOM! editorial staff. These guys love comics with a passion and it really felt like I had stepped back in time, back to the days when editors and creators were the main architects of the stories presented on the multi-colored pages we call comics. They made me feel like a creator again.
Some of your past original concepts like "Crimson Plague" have been a bit more personal and a bit more strange (in a good way!) than the work you're most identified with. What's been on your mind lately in terms of the kinds of comics you'd like to make? Is there something that's not out there in the market you want to see more of?
I'm really not that well-versed on what's out there anymore, so I don't know if what I will bring to the party will be considered unusual, unique, or just the same old thing that others have been doing. All I can hope for is that my words and pictures capture the attention of the reader and that, with any luck, they stay to see what other fun stuff I come up with.
Regarding "Crimson Plague," it's interesting that, even to this day, I'm still asked whether I will ever finish that series. Some have even speculated that I might be resurrecting the series through BOOM! Â That is not the case. Even though the book did reasonably well both times (its demise being more of a matter of poor business choices and taking on too much of the marketing and financing myself), the last thing I would want to do is saddle BOOM! with an old property that has the stigma of failure to it -- twice!
BOOM! has worked with a lot of creators who you've worked with before, like Mark Waid, and currently have signed on a number of talents I'm not sure you've ever collaborated with, like Paul Jenkins and Mike Carey. Is there anyone new or old who you'd really like to team up with coming up?
Right now, I'm concentrating on writing my own stuff again, just to prove to myself that I can still do it. Unfortunately, I'm not as prolific as I used to be and there are a lot of writers I've never worked with. I can only hope that I can find some time to do so.
Is there a specific series you're going to announce right now? What's the first thing you'll be working on as part of this exclusive?
Okay, that becomes a bit tricky. While I do have some definite ideas and a specific story concept I am currently putting  together now that my contract with BOOM! has been finalized, I don't want to steal BOOM!'s thunder since the current plan is for them to make the official announcement of my specific project at the upcoming Baltimore Comicon in September. Marc Nathan, the Baltimore show organizer, was the fellow who turned me on to BOOM!; I think he deserves this exclusive.
Aside from original comics which I'm sure are going to make up the brunt of this series, BOOM! also has a number of licenses, from "Planet of the Apes" to "Adventure Time" I'm sure people would get a kick out of you drawing a cover or two for. Any plans to play in that part of the sandbox as you go along?
That's something I suggested to the BOOM! gang. Since my own series may take some time before it sees print (I really want to get several issues in the can before we set a publishing date), it would be to everyone's benefit for me to stay in the public eye, and visually express my commitment to BOOM!, with covers, pin-ups and other stuff that would bear the banner of my new home.

NTT Docomo is Japan's largest cell phone service provider right now, and everyone gets excited when the biggest announces plans for upgrades and expansions to its network and phone choices. The changes to be excited about are 12 new devices, sold through Docomo, and a network addition: Voice-over-LTE (VoLTE).
The carrier put up a new couple of pages on its website today, announcing the addition of 12 new devices in what they called the "2014 Summer Feature Lineup". The lineup includes modern flagship phones such as the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2, as well as the Xperia A2 smartphone and Z2 Tablet. Docomo also bring some of Sharp's products into the family with the Aquos Pad and Aquos Zeta, while also bringing its own devices, like the F-07F and sH-07F flip phones, and the Easy Smartphone 3 (F-06F).
These devices look to update and spice up Docomo's lineup for this summer, with these devices coming to the carrier between late May and August. The big names like Samsung and Sony will doubtlessly please customers, and for those with less of need for a smartphone, the flip and easy-smartphones are perfect choices. But what about those VoLTE expansion details?
Yes, NTT Docomo is introducing Voice-over-LTE this Summer. Select devices from Docomo's Summer 2014 Feature Lineup will be capable to take advantage of video calls over the cellular data network with the opportunity to browse the Internet while doing so. The Xperia Z2 and Z2 Tablet, Galaxy S5, Aquos Zeta and Pad, and Arrows NZ devices will compatible with this new VoLTE introduction from their respective launches. Also worth noting is that Docomo will be offering free data to utilize the VoLTE service until September of 2015.
For, reference, Voice-over-LTE is a relatively new technique of technology. It uses the 4G network, which was previously and up until the development of VoLTE used expressly for data. It sends voice as a 'packet' of data, and the network treats that packet just like a normal data-only packet, and sends it along the network to the receiving end as usual. The VoLTE service also will support HD voice and video calls, to other VoLTE-equipped and -capable devices. The biggest change to come with the emergence of more VoLTE services is the direct challenge to services like Skype and FaceTime. Regardless, VoLTE from NTT Docomo on its new devices will doubtlessly please customers, and VoLTE as a whole has a large future ahead of it.

Activision has confirmed that Aerosmith will get it's own Guitar Hero game.
A question comes to mind, who is going to be willing to shell out $60 for a game dedicated to one band (aside from the hardcore fans that have done as much heroin as Steven Tyler has)? This is great news if you are a big Aerosmith follower, but even if you really like the band, I assume that you want a little variety in your game. The big draw for these rhythm games is that you can pretend you can actually play your favorite songs, and this includes a variety of bands not just one. I've yet to meet one person on earth who has said, "This is the only band I listen to." (If that "one-band" person is reading this all I can say is hit yourself.)
I'm not saying that this is a bad idea for a game, but I'm sure Activision is rubbing their hands together and salivating at the idea of releasing what amounts to be an interactive album for six times the price of the same compilation of songs on iTunes. Activision has to be careful with pricing. The only way I see it selling well beyond the rabid Aerosmith fan base is to drop the price to something reasonable. I'd go as high as $30.

Now, Activision has promised songs from more bands with ties to Aerosmith (playing to "Walk This Way" comes to mind). It doesn't change the fact that the game will focus on the band. This game should be seen as what it really is, an expansion pack to Guitar Hero 3. It is a gimmick to keep the franchise going, but gamers, contrary to what some of these companies believe, won't swallow that for long, especially when there is actual competition in the genre.
Activision has stated that they are going to be releasing a whole line of games that focus on a specific band (Guitar Hero: Metallica, anyone). Why, then, would the company decided to spearhead this new line of games with Aerosmith? Don't get me wrong, they're iconic enough, but couldn't Activision Activision have picked a band that is a little more up to date: Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, or even Pearl Jam. Yeah, it would be pandering to the bigger fan base, but isn't that what most gaming companies do anyway?
To echo the sentiment of the commentators, the game will probably sell well, but I hope that whoever does buy this game does so knowing that they'll more likely than not be playing Guitar Hero III again by the end of the week, and this expansion pack will be collecting dust before long.
Guitar Hero: Aerosmith is set for a June 2008 release date.

A budding tennis star at Sir Andy Murray's former school hopes the Wimbledon champion will return as a PE teacher after he retires.
Dunblane Primary School pupil Gregor Wood said he was shocked to hear of Sir Andy's plans to leave the game this year due to ongoing injury, but the youngster already has high hopes for what the tennis ace might do next.
"He should be a PE teacher here," primary seven pupil Gregor said. "I think he would be quite a good one."
"I was shocked that he was retiring because he's just played so well and I kind of wanted him to keep going, but because of his hip I guess it's probably time for him to stop."
The youngster met Sir Andy when he returned to his old school for a visit, and he said the Wimbledon champion was "quite laid back" and told the pupils he hoped some of them would follow in his footsteps.
Gregor hopes to be able to do so as his tennis is "quite good", and he credited Sir Andy's determination as one of his most inspirational qualities.
He said: "He's not given up because of his hip and he's had that pain for about a year now. He's not given up and he's kept on playing."
Fellow P7 pupil Katie Cullen also met the tennis star when he returned to the school, and she said he was "funny" and "very inspirational".
She added: "I was quite sad and shocked that he was retiring but still happy that he's going to be able to rest his hip and not have to worry about competitions.
"He's an inspiration, he always inspires us to do sport and to be the best you can be."
Head teacher Lorraine Slabbert said she is "hugely sad" Sir Andy plans to retire this year as he has been a "huge inspiration".
She added: "However with everything we do in Dunblane we talk about a positive spin on that, and actually my thought immediately was 'what's next for him and what more impact can he have'?
"He's already had a huge impact in the school but actually he's got a job to do next, and I'm quite sure he will, in inspiring the children in Scotland and wider."
She said his visits to the school had shown pupils how to live active lives and taught them they can "do anything they want to do".
She added: "Some of the children have already said when he has time on his hands they would love to see him here helping them out."
Stirling Council leader Scott Farmer met Sir Andy when he was given the freedom of the city in 2014, and said he was "very nice" and "unassuming".
Mr Farmer said he is sad about a "premature end to a spectacular and outstanding career".
He added: "Andy's been a sensational ambassador for Stirling."
