Welcome back! We've been talking about unusual deviations that appeared in Silver-Age comics without an explanation---at least, not from an authoritative source. Last time out, we discussed the curious case of the adult Robin's first costume, which changed between consecutive JLA issues with nary a reason given, in or out of the story. And then there was the matter of the Elongated Man's second costume, which underwent a colour change that went equally unexplained. In fact, no-one seemed to even notice.
Cannily, Philip Portelli was able to suggest a possible motivation for the altered hue of the E-Man's duds, one that makes sense. That's one of the reasons I broached this subject as a Deck Log Entry; hoping you guys might have some information I missed. Or at least, a good idea, like Philip did. Now I have two final mysteries to percolate your brain cells. One is another costume alteration; the second is something to which the expression "right in front of one's face" applies literally.
3. The Mystery of the Half-Masked Panther.
In Fantastic Four # 52 (Jul., 1966), we are introduced to the Black Panther, the ceremonial guise of Prince T'Challa, leader of the African nation of Wakanda. At T'Challa's invitation, the Fantastic Four travel to Wakanda, where they are separated and attacked individually by the Panther. Despite the hostile introductions, the Black Panther is one of the good guys. He needs the FF's help, if the foursome lives up to their reputations. They do.
Beneath the full-face mask, T'Challa is a native African male and the first black super-hero not just at Marvel, but in mainstream American comics. Comic-book fans who came along after the 1960's have no idea what such a distinction wrought.
Following the next-issue conclusion of his inaugural adventure, the Black Panther became a recurring member of the Fantastic Four's rapidly expanding cast. His status as a head of state and the sophisticated technology at his disposal made him an invaluable ally to the F.F. On our side of the four-colour pages, the readers' reactions were heavily positive, so the only tweaking to be done was minor: the military-style half-cape the Panther wore in his first couple of appearances was dropped, giving him a sleeker image in the black bodysuit which covered him from head to toe.
Over the rest of 1966 and into the next year, the Black Panther participated in four more issues of Fantastic Four, including 1967's King-Size Special. But there were plans afoot to promote the Panther from supporting character to regular star. First, though, the groundwork had to be laid---by teaming the Prince of the Wakandas with Captain America in a four-part epic that began in Tales of Suspense # 97 (Jan., 1968) and ended in Captain America (ToS, after a title-change) # 100 (Apr., 1968). This made it logical for Cap---whom Roy Thomas was moving out of the Avengers—to recommend the Panther as his replacement, in The Avengers # 51.
A nomination by the Living Legend of World War II is a golden ticket. T'Challa joins the Assemblers in issue # 52 (May, 1968). And here is where the mystery begins. Don't get ahead of me, though. As I discovered, it's a twisted skein, indeed.
Marvel mavens must have been puzzled by the appearance of the Black Panther on the cover of issue #52. Or, rather, by the change in his ceremonial costume. Instead of a full-faced cowl, the Panther wore the half-mask type that had been a fashion statement for super-heroes since the Batman swung across the cover of Detective Comics # 27.
And it wasn't just a goof on the cover. Inside, the Panther wore the half-mask on the splash page and throughout the rest of the book. Despite the story's expositional material detailing T'Challa's history, no mention was made of the new mask. Marvel fans, accustomed to the company's continued stories and eventual loose-end tying, probably figured, O.K., they'll explain the half-mask next issue.
The abbreviated mask returned in The Avengers # 53 (Jun., 1968), and still no in-story reason provided. Nor was it explained in issues # 54 or # 55. The interesting part was that Stan Lee wasn't telling us why the Panther's mask was changed, either. That was unusual for Lee, who was generally responsive to readers' questions.
However, when the mail over the Panther's début as an Avenger began to appear in the letter columns, it appeared that Stan had nothing to respond to. Not one fan said a word about the new half-mask. It wasn't until the "Avengers Assemble" letter column in issue # 55 that two missives---one from Lee Gray, of Detroit, Michigan, and one from Tommy Floyd, of Andrews, Texas---pointed out the new mask and argued for the return of the old one.
In reply, the Smilin' One pledged that the Black Panther's full-faced cowl would return in the next issue. He didn't say anything, though, about why T'Challa had worn a half-mask for four issues. The closest Stan came to suggesting anything at all about the mask alteration came in The Avengers # 56 (Sep., 1968), when, as promised, the Panther was back in his all-concealing mask---permanently. In the lettercol, Lee stated for the record:
The only printed letters that addressed the change in the Panther's mask simply asked for the old one back. Whatever "controversy" there was about it, Stan wasn't telling. Nor was he telling why the change was made in the first place.
Unlike the changes in the adult Robin's costume, or turning the Elongated Man's outfit magenta, the half-mask business is a well-known part of the Black Panther's history. Every reference page or Black Panther-related blog that I've reviewed has made mention of the brief half-mask period. Which makes it even more curious that no-one in authority---such as Stan Lee himself---has ever stated the reason for it. There is a popular conjecture, though, that most folks feel makes sense.
The conventional consensus goes something like this:
Stan Lee created the first mainstream-comics black super-hero, but because of the character's full-face mask, only dedicated Marvel fans knew it. Casual readers, checking out the covers or flipping through the pages, wouldn't necessarily have realised it. Stan was strong for promoting the Marvel brand as forward-thinking and socially aware. (Nor, to be honest, was he above patting himself on the back.) So, Lee had the Panther's mask changed to reveal his ebony skin. Then, even someone just passing by the spinner rack could see that Marvel Comics had a black hero, and in one of its most popular titles, yet.
After enough complaints about T'Challa wearing the wrong mask, Stan acquiesced and restored the original full-face cowl. But that was O.K.; by then, everybody knew that the Panther was a black man.
It made sense to me, too---until I started researching the history of the Black Panther, and discovered an interesting wrinkle. One that reärranges the conventional thinking a bit.
The first part, you probably already know. A well-worn behind-the-scenes story has it that, when Stan Lee asked Jack Kirby to design an African super-hero for an issue of Fantastic Four, Kirby came up with "the Coal Tiger". Lee found the name and the visual a bit over the top, and he told Jack to give it another go.
Here's the part you might not know. Kirby's second stab resulted in the character of the Black Panther and the familiar ebony costume---except that Jack wanted it evident that the Panther was black. So he provided the Panther with a Batman-type half-cowl that exposed his lower face and jaw. That's right, gang---the half-mask was the original version!
This can be seen in Kirby's first draught for the cover of Fantastic Four # 52. Now, I'm not sure why Stan rejected this first effort; it looks perfectly serviceable to me, although admittedly, the cover that saw print had a moodier quality. But before the issue went to press, Lee had all of the panels displaying the Black Panther's masked face redrawn---or, more accurately, filled in---to give him a full-face cowl, concealing all of his features, including skin colour.
As in the other instance, I was unable to track down an authoritative explanation for why this was done. But also as before, there is a logical surmise.
In creating the first super-hero of African origin, Marvel was willing to go out on a limb---but not too far out. Someone---either Stan Lee or publisher Martin Goodman---got cold feet over the controversy that was likely to erupt, especially from the southern distributors, over introducing a prominent black hero. Yeah, we'll do it, but let's not make it so obvious that he's black. Hence, the redrawn full-face mask. Sure, there were still plenty of panels showing a maskless T'Challa, prince of the Wakandas, as the Panther, but you really had to read the story to find them. And it wasn't the readers that Lee or Goodman or whomever was worried about; they would be on-board with the idea. Rather, it was the southern distributor who looked at the cover and maybe flipped through a page or two that they had to slip past.
It's also likely that, in the Panther's subsequent appearances in Fantastic Four and Tales of Suspense, Jack Kirby persisted in giving T'Challa the half-mask, forcing Stan to keep having the inkers turn it into an all-concealing one. At least one instance of a Kirby-drawn half-mask slipped by Lee's watchful eye, in a panel from Fantastic Four # 60 (Mar., 1967):
That changes the circumstances behind the Black Panther's half-mask in his first few Avengers appearances. It wasn't a new modification; rather, it was a return to the mask that Kirby had originally envisioned for the character. Why penciller John Buscema, the first artist after Kirby to draw the Panther, used the half-mask, we can only guess. Maybe he got a model sheet for the Panther from Jack.
Nor do we know why Stan Lee allowed Buscema's half-mask to stand. Perhaps, at that point, Stan figured the social climate in America had shifted enough that it was safe to ballyhoo the Panther's race. If so, then there's a certain irony in the fact reader demand forced him to restore T'Challa's "original" mask.
4. The Mystery of the Turnabout Hair.
Silver-Age DC fans might not have known his name, but to them, Curt Swan was "the good Superman artist".
For over a quarter of a century, Swan's rendition of the Man of Steel stood as the definitive model, the one everybody thought of when they thought of Superman. Like any skilled illustrator, Swan refined the quality of his output over the years, but his Superman---while his hair might get slightly thicker or his waist a tad slimmer, to reflect the times---remained virtually unchanged.
Not surprisingly, when editor Mort Weisinger, or his successor, Julius Schwartz, had a couple of pages to fill, Swan's model sheets were often employed as a "How to Draw Superman" feature. One of the earliest ones, seen below, was published in Action Comics # 333 (Feb., 1966).
Recently, in one of Brian Cronin's columns, over at the Comics Should Be Good site, he posted the original art for that "Many Faces of Superman" piece from Action Comics # 333, along with a similar design sheet that I recognised as coming from one of the 100-Page Super-Spectaculars---Superman # 245 (Dec., 1971-Jan., 1972), to be precise.
That's when I noticed something. Something that I had missed noticing for decades.
Curt Swan's Superman had not remained unchanged all those years. He had made one significant alteration in his rendition of DC's most famous star.
Did you catch it? Probably. It's a lot easier to spot when the model sheets are so close together. But I'll bet you never noticed the difference when you were reading the issues of Superman or Action Comics drawn by Swan. In the 1960's-vintage sheet, Superman's hair is parted on his right, with the famous "S" forecurl falling to the left. But in the later version, from late 1971, the Man of Steel's hair is parted on his left, and the forecurl falls to his right.
And, in case you're thinking that, perhaps, one of the two model sheets was an aberration, well, no---I checked. Looking though my stacks of Superman and Action Comics from the late '50's, where Swan primarily did the covers, and the '60's, after he started doing the interiors, in every case---regardless of inker---Superman's hair was parted on the right, forecurl falling to the left.
Then I examined my boxes of Superman and Action Comics from the '70's and early '80's, and here the opposite version---hair parted on left, forecurl to right---was consistent.
So then it became a matter of determining when the change occurred. My initial assumption was that it took place in conjunction with some significant development, such as Julius Schwartz's early attempt to revitalise the Man of Steel, after he replaced Weisinger as editor. Something like this would make sense.
But as it turned out, I was dead wrong.
It took some time, sifting through a few dozen issues of Superman and Action Comics. I even had to plug a gap of one missing issue, which I was able to do at the Heroes Convention. But I finally pinpointed when Swan began reversing Superman's hair. And it was well before Schwartz took over or any efforts were made to give the Man of Steel and his alter ego a more contemporary look.
Which made the timing of the change-over perplexing. Mort Weisinger was still in the editor's chair, and he was reluctant to tinker with DC's biggest seller.
The last appearance of Superman's right-side part and the first appearance of his left-side part both took place in his own title. The last time we see his hair parted on the right and his S-curl falling to the left in a story drawn by Swan comes in "The Case of the Collared Crime-Fighter", from Superman # 208 (Jul., 1968).
Swan parts the Metropolis Marvel's hair on his left side for the first time in the next issue---"The Clark Kent Monster", from Superman # 209 (Aug., 1968).
The right-hand part makes a cameo appearance on the cover of Superman (Giant Annual) # 212 (Dec., 1968). But other than that, Swan draws Superman with the left-hand part for the rest of his career.
Incidentally, Superman's appearances in Action Comics conform to that divide. It's a right-side part in "The Case of the People Against Superman", Action Comics # 359 (Feb., 1968). Then, after a long stretch of issues in which other artists drew the Superman feature, Swan returns in "Mysteries of the Superman Awards", Action Comics # 367 (Sep., 1968), and Our Hero is sporting a left-side part.
And that leaves us with the most unanswerable mystery of all: why did Curt Swan change the part in Superman's hair?
I can't even guess.

I believe that in the original story, the black hero was named Jericho, which is why Wolfman recycled the name for the famous puffy-shirt wearing Titan, but during the course of multiple rewrites and revisions, "Jericho" became a white guy with the codename "Joshua"--maybe they were hoping that in time they'd be able to finally publish the original concept with his original name. Frankly, I'd rather have seen the watered down Joshua character come back than anything they did with the Jericho that ultimately did see print.
Fraser Sherman said:
Correction, the black hero was Joshua.
I must say the Panther looks more striking with the full mask.
I have seen interviews with at least one African-American actor indicating their joy at seeing their ethnicity represented in the future on Star Trek. Since the Legion was also set in the future this was a missed opportunity.
As Whoopi Goldberg once said, Star Trek was the only show that had Black people in the future.
I think she said not seeing black people made her subconsciously wonder if there would be any black people.
ClarkKent_DC said:

About Superman's hair, it is obviously just a hunch, but I wonder if the change was not an incremental step in making Superman look slightly less like George Reeves.
Superman was on TV from 1952 to 1958 and Reeves ought to have influenced the Superman in-house model from that time to a few years later. But eventually DC would want to distance the two likenesses according to fashionable trends.
Didn't the George Reeves Superman have a buzz cut for the entire series?

The only truly unfortunate use of the term African-American that I've heard was on TV. My wife had one of the shopping channels on (QVC?). They were selling lead soldiers, in this case British soldiers and Zulu warriors from the Zulu Wars.
The idiot on the show referred to the warriors wearing loincloths and wielding spears as "African-Americans." I couldn't believe my ears.

I think it was on one of Nelson Mandela's visits to the U.S. that a journalist made some comment to Mandela about him being an "African-American"!

text: AP Sports Writer Woody Williams says he's got at least one more good season left in him. But the Houston Astros need more than his word after the 41-year-old right-hander went 8-15 in 2007 with a career-high 5.06 ERA in 31 starts. Williams gave up 35 homers and 110 earned runs, also career worsts, after signing a two-year, $12.5 million contract to play in the city where he grew up. "Combination of everything _ not feeling well, not locating my pitches, just untimely mistakes," Williams explained. "It seemed to snowball and I never recovered." Williams still arrived at spring training virtually guaranteed a spot in the Astros rotation. But Williams sat down with manager Cecil Cooper on Monday morning and tried to convince him that last year was an aberration, not a warning sign that he's washed up. "Like I told Cecil," he said, "I wouldn't be here if I didn't think I could still do it. I wouldn't try to kid myself. I still think I can go out there and be very, very productive." It helps Williams' case that he had one of his best seasons in 2006 with San Diego, going 12-5 with a 3.65 ERA in 24 starts. Before last season, he'd also won nine of 12 decisions at Minute Maid Park. "I know there's a lot left in that tank and he just needs to be the Woody we know he is," Cooper said. Williams had tried for years to land a contract with his hometown team and finally got his wish when the Astros signed him in November 2006. A former Houston Cougar, he was an instant fan favorite, but the applause quickly faded as he dropped his first seven decisions. Williams was more frustrated than demoralized by the bad start. He was preparing for each game the same way he always had and couldn't pinpoint why he was struggling to locate his pitches. "I don't think I really lost confidence. I'm too competitive," he said. "There was no way I ever went out there beat. When you get on the field, you forget about all that." He managed to go 3-1 in August, but he still finished with his worst record in 15 seasons. A few weeks after the season ended, Williams got a call from team owner Drayton McLane and the two sat down to discuss what happened, an offer Williams had never gotten from any owner before. Turns out they were thinking the same thing. "Basically, he told me, 'This year is what it was and it's done. I don't want you to think about it anymore. Let's move on and look toward next year,'" Williams recalled. "Not that I needed that, but it's always nice to know that that's what he thought, too." Williams didn't change his offseason routine and arrived in Kissimmee refreshed and ready. He's trying to correct a mechanical flaw in his motion that he noticed after poring over videotape from last season. "I knew something wasn't quite right," he said. "It's not fixed yet, but I'm gradually getting it." Cooper has Williams on a lighter schedule than the other pitchers because Cooper, Houston's bench coach last year, thought Williams threw too much at spring training last year. Williams dismissed that as an excuse for why he pitched so poorly. If anything, Williams said, he started pressing too hard as his season continued to unravel. "When things aren't going right, you don't feel normal, you've got to keep pushing until you find it," he said. "It seemed like that for the whole season. Well, I never found it. I tried to re-train myself this spring and hopefully when the games start, I'll be ready to roll." Now, the only time Williams thinks about last season is when reporters ask about it. When he hears skeptics say he's finished, that just motivates him more. "After last year, I think a lot of people may doubt me or say, 'You know what? He's over the hill,'" he said. "But for whatever reason, I wouldn't be here if I felt like that was the case. I feel like I still bring a lot to the ballclub." If he can't pitch to his standards, Williams said he won't hesitate to walk away and leave what's left of his salary behind. The Astros hold the option to retain him for the 2009 season. "That's one thing I've always promised myself, that I wouldn't embarrass myself," he said. "I won't hold on longer than I should. If things go the way they should, there is no reason to do that."

John Wall, Wizards Stave of Bucks
The Wizards were very close to pulling a very Wizard letdown. I had the headline all ready after the Bucks took a 78-75 lead on a Monta Ellis driving bank: WIZARDS BLOW BIG LEAD BUT POST MORAL VICTORY DUE TO GREAT EFFORT FROM JOHN WALL. At this point, we're all hoping for Wall to be great and flash the greatness we think he possesses. If it leads to a win, that's a cherry on top. But tonight would have and could have been painful. A 20 point lead against a playoff team with the league's best defender and two microwave scorers was impressive, but staving them off down the stretch was even more so. The Wizards showed some heart tonight and even prevailed through a Wall-Wittman screaming match and a few dumb turnovers. Tonight felt a little bigger than it actually was.
Martell Webster saw "glimpses of greatness" in John Wall tonight and it's hard to disagree. Wall strung together two 20 points games for the first time since last March and was the most confident I have seen him all season. In almost every recap I've done this year I've mentioned Bradley Beal's confidence level as a barometer for his play and success, and now it looks like mentioning John Wall's is just as important. I can't say I would expect a third year player to be unsure of his abilities, but the last two day version of John Wall is not the same guy we saw over the preceding three weeks.
Make no mistake, tonight was all about John Wall. He got where ever he wanted on the court at any time and blew by Monta Ellis over and over and over again. I posited before the game that without Bradley Beal, the Wizards would have trouble spacing the floor, allowing for Larry Sanders to patrol a clogged key and wreak havoc on an Wizard who dared to enter. Nene and Okafor felt the brunt of Sanders' force (a combined 9 for 25), but John Wall whisked by everyone with ease, converting a number of tough layups and one-man fast breaks. With AJ Price unavailable, Wall needed to play 43 minutes and showed no signs of fatigue, something I've wondered about with him since he has been back. I've been hard on Wall this year but that doesn't mean I'm not realistic. When Wall is good I will be the first one to admit it. He was great tonight. It was a pleasure to watch him lead the Wizards to victory.
John wasn't alone, however. Trevor Booker posted season-highs in points (14) and rebounds (13); Nene 13 points, 13 rebounds (huge for him) and 6 big assists to go along with a +17; Garrett Temple made six of his seven shots in a +19; Martell Webster drilled four of seven threes and scored 20 points, 17 of which came in the first; and Jan Vesely didn't play. Oh well.
Some notes from the game:
- The Bucks' starting front court played extremely well, limiting Emeka Okafor and Nene to a combined 36% shooting while going for 38 points and 23 boards. Ersan Ilyasova started heating up in the third and played a large part in the 27-6 run that gave the Bucks a brief lead.
- Brandon Jennings was, well, mostly invisible. He threw a few WOW passes but mostly loafed around having no luck beating Wall around picks, which is odd given Wall's overall defensive effort so far this season. Wall has now obliterated Jennings in their two meetings this season; Jennings is shooting 5-25 in those two contests. Both of these players want max contracts.
- Kevin Seraphin came into the game, committed two defensive fouls and was then called for an obvious charge on a back down of Gustavo Ayon. He played 10 non-impactful minutes. It appears we're going to know if we've got Good Seraphin or Bad Seraphin pretty early on. It's rare that he is decent on the court nowadays. It seems he's either all good or all bad, skewing towards all bad.
- Larry Sanders' ejection from tonight's game was one of the best I've ever seen. After three and a half quarters of a heated Monta Ellis staring down referees after claerly correct calls, Sanders decided to get in on the act on a clear charge drawn by John Wall. Sanders gave every referee a sarcastic thumbs up (gif courtesy of @wiz_spurtin) before walking off the court and chucking up some deuces, making Chris Brown proud. His Go-Go Gadget arms made the thumbs-up look particularly comical.

The following quote is from Michael Ondaatje's book: The Conversations: Walter Murch and the Art of Editing Film. The book is a combination of several interviews that Ondaatje had with Murch. Ondaatje is the author of The English Patient and Anil's Ghost, amongst others, and Murch was a principle editor on such notable films as The Godfather II, Apocalypse Now, and The English Patient. Murch is also a kind of quiet renaissance man. His knowledge is rather wide and deep. His passions range across many subjects. When he speaks on film editing and human creativity it is worth hearing what he has to say.
Ondaatje: Ingmar Bergman talks somewhere about how making a film, with a large group of people, is akin to a medieval community building a cathedral.*
Murch: We were talking earlier about having multiple editors on a film like Apocalypse Now. But it seems to happen throughout the filmmaking process. How do you get 150 temperamental artistic types to work together on the same project, and make something that not only comes in on schedule, on budget, but that has an artistic coherence. It's simply beyond the ability of a single person, a director or a producer, to cause that to happen by any series of direct commands. It's so complicated that it just can't be done.The question is: How does it happen?
If you've ever remodeled a house, you'll know how difficult it is even to get four or five carpenters to agree on anything: billions of people have been building houses, for thousands of years—"houseness" should almost be encoded in our DA. And yet when you remodel, it's very common to go double over budget and schedule.
By comparison, we've only been making films for a hundred years, and a film crew is made up of sometimes hundreds of people, yet somehow, miraculously, at the end of "only" a year, there is, one hopes, a wonderful, mysterious, powerful, coherent, two-hour-long vision that has no precedent—and the more original the vision, the more the process is amazing. And yet studios are furious with us if we go ten percent over budget and schedule!
We tend to accept this miracle because we're right in the middle of it—it seems somehow normal—but I think in the future, hundreds of years from now, people will look back on our period a bit the way we look back at Gothic cathedrals. How did they build those cathedrals, when they didn't have computers, when they didn't have engineering knowledge and tools that we have? How did they know exactly how to build those gigantic creations, each more marvelous that the last? It would be a challenge for us today, despite all our power and knowledge, to duplicate Chartres cathedral. And yet it was done with human muscle and, literally, horsepower. How did they dare to dream and then accomplish such a thing? These fantastic buildings seemingly came out of nowhere. Suddenly Gothic architecture was happening all over Europe at the same time. It's phenomenal what went on, and it's mysterious to us today how it was actually accomplished. It's the same with the Egyptian pyramids. I think future generations with powers we can't even imagine will look back on filmmaking in the twentieth century and say, How did they do all that, back then, with their ridiculously limited resources?**
When I read these words I cannot help but think of how our creativity, our tendency to make things and come up with new forms and new ideas, is one of the times we are closest to God. We are creators because God made us in his image. I do not know if Walter Murch is a Christian in any sense of the word, but look how he uses the words miraculously, miracle, phenomenal, and mysterious. Even though he is deeply in the midst of the creative process, surrounded by the latest editing technologies, by movie scripts and his own notes, he still sees the process as fundamentally miraculous. In other words, though the creative process is evident at some level, it is baffling at another. We do not create out of nothing, yet our creations sometimes strike us as amazing, even staggeringly so. But Murch is also getting at something even more mysterious, that is the process of a group being corporately creative and productive. How is this like God? Arguments from trinitarian theory always seem rather weak to me. Maybe the corporate creativity we see in filmmaking is like a more intentional version of how humans create culture. In that sense it is even more mysterious than we fist suppose. If this is so then our corporate creativity may actually be more of a miracle than even Murch might grant, in that it requires both our freewill intentions and God's sovereignty working in concert: action and grace intertwined together. This idea makes sense to me, especially given that corporate creativity requires one of the most virtuous of human activities—compromise.

The Safe Mac » Mac anti-virus testing 2014
Almost exactly one year ago, I completed a round of tests of 20 different anti-virus programs on the Mac. Because this is an area of software that is in almost constant flux, I felt it was important to repeat that test this year. I was very curious about whether these programs were still as effective (or ineffective) as they had been, and how well they detected new malware that had appeared since the last test was performed.
After last year's testing, I received a number of requests for tests of other apps. This year's testing sees a change in some of the apps being tested. Four new apps were added, while two were removed from testing (one simply because it was redundant). The malware samples used also went through a change. Some samples were removed, in an attempt to remove any that might have been deemed questionable, while others were added. Multiple samples of each of nine new malicious programs, which did not exist at the time of last year's testing, were included.

And I guarantee you that anyone who tries to say otherwise hasn't walked a day in my shoes."

TOP 5 Heat Sinks TOP 5 Low Profile Heat Sinks TOP 5 Liquid Coolers
Heatsinks by Brand / Mfgr Reviews + Articless Advanced Search
After a long absence from all things heatsink related, OCZ is back in the game with a compact little multi-socket heatsink called the Tempest. The OCZ Tempest heatsink weighs in at 580 grams, and is built upon a design that relies heavily on copper components. The design is a fairly predictable mix of copper, heatpipes and a big low RPM fan, so it will be interesting to see how OCZ's product fairs against the strong lineup of socket AM2/939 AMD Athlon64 heatsinks on the market right now. The performance of the stock Athlon64 X2 AM2 heatsinks is quiet remarkable, and I suspect the Tempest will need more than a bit of copper, or a blue LED illuminated fan to prove its mettle.
Below the OCZ Tempest's 95mm diameter blue LED illuminated fan is an array of nickel plated copper fins which are joined to the base of the heatsink by four 6mm heatpipes. The fins largely hover over the copper base of the OCZ Tempest heatsink, although there are a few thermal via's where each of the four heatpipes is soldered. The majority of the heat energy absorbed from the processor integrated heat spreader, bit it Intel Pentium D LGA775 or socket AM2 AMD Athlon64, is transmitted along the heatpipes to the upper half of the copper cooling fins.
The OCZ Tempest heatsink installs onto socket 775 and socket 478 Intel Pentium processors via a set of mounting brackets which attach to the copper base plate. For AMD Athlon64 socket 754/939/940 and socket AM2 processors another set of brackets is used. Each set of brackets is matched with a motherboard support plate, and in this respect the OCZ Tempest is a very flexible heatsink. If you have a upgrade plans penciled in for the near future, the Tempest can accommodate.
Arguably the best aspect of the OCZ Tempest heatsink is the one geared towards enthusiasts - a quick change fan bracket!
The bracket is tooled for 80 and 92mm diameter fans, and clips onto the Tempest heatsink without tools. If you need to swap out a fan for something quieter, or faster, the entire fan bracket removes in a second to provide easy access without having to uninstall the entire heatsink.
The small mountain of mounting brackets that accomodates the OCZ Tempest heatsink are pictured below. There are no less than four separate motherboard support plates; one for socket 478, AM2, LGA775, and 754/939/940 respectively.
The downside to all of this is that for socket 478 and LGA775 processors you'll need to remove your motherboard from the case to install the OCZ heatsink, and depending on how much gear you have in you PC that can be a real pain.
On the plus side, K8 motherboards generally all ship with the metal motherboard support brackets that have a 6-32 thread, so the existing plate will work just fine with the spring tensioned clips of the Tempest heatsink.
FrostyTech's K8 Test Methodology is outlined in detail here if you care to know what equipment is used, and the parameters under which the tests are conducted. Now let's move forward and take a closer look at this heatsink, its acoustic characteristics, and of course it performance in the thermal tests!

This Cool Stretch Vespa gives a More Joyous Ride than a Stretched Limo
Being the world's fourth largest two wheeler manufacturing company and deriving its name from an wasp in Latin and Italian, Vespa has come a long way from its first 1946 model of 98cc to creating one of the stylish and bestperformance with looks scooters and this time they have stunned the world by making this Stretch Vespa 4 seater one of a kind bike which no one would have dreamt of.
Here is the Vespa South Africa's Stretch Scooter which has stretched beyond everyone's imagination. This one is the perfect family ride for those who have some financial problem but want to own a vehicle which will not only provide them the attraction of the crowd but will give their family a comfortable and wonderful ride.
This has made stretch limousine go out of fashion because I bet that if this stretch scooter and a limousines are standing beside each other, people will surely have their eyes glued on this beyond imaginary scooter which is better than a family car.
I hope that the middle portion too is that much of strong to carry a big fat man in between but apart from that, this is one desirable scooty which no one can resist but sadly Vespa has no plans of offering this one for sale as just using it for promotional purpose even though its fully functional machine but who knows, anything can happen in future, just hope for the best.
You can see some more such interesting product as Pacman Car or you also like the Car with Gullwing doors .

Pilgrimage: Pacific Coast Highway to Santa Barbara
Ninety miles northwest of Los Angeles, this area is often called the American Riviera for its Mediterranean climate and seaside geography. Nestled next to the ocean beneath the Santa Ynez Mountains, and with spectacular views of the Pacific and the Channel Islands, Santa Barbara's dramatic setting has been a destination since Civil War times. Charming neighborhoods of bungalows and Spanish Revival homes dot the city.
The scenic route to Santa Barbara takes you up the PCH: the Pacific Coast Highway, or Highway 1. I picked up a bright-red Camaro convertible at LAX and headed west to Malibu (45 minutes, traffic willing). After picking up some sandwiches on the side of the road and picnicking on the beach, I continued north on Highway 1.
It's only an hour-and-a-half drive to Santa Barbara, but what a drive! Views along the coast are breathtaking. I stopped at Summerland, just south of Santa Barbara, to browse in the antiques stores on Lillie Avenue and snack on an avocado, the local specialty.
Arts & Crafts in the City
Once in Santa Barbara, orient yourself by visiting the Courthouse at 1100 Anacapa Street (tours: sbcourts.org). Cited as the "most beautiful government building in America," the Moorish-style building was completed in 1929 and is a National Historic Landmark; ride the elevator to the top of the 85' El Mirador clock tower for an unforgettable panorama of the city.
I had dinner at Brophy Brothers on the waterfront: excellent seafood with a great view (brophybros. com). If the line hadn't been so long (which it has been often since Julia Child praised the tacos), I'd have tried La Super-Rica Taqueria (622 N. Milpas St.; (805) 963-4940).
Downtown Santa Barbara is compact, a good place to shop and sightsee. Spend a few hours at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art on State St. (sbmusart.org) to take in 19th- and early 20th-century art and paintings. Go by the newly restored 1924 Granada Theater, or catch an evening show (granadasb.org). To understand the area's Spanish heritage, visit the Santa Barbara Mission on Laguna Street (santabarbaramission.org), founded by Spanish Franciscans in 1786. Rebuilt after the devastating 1925 earthquake, it's nicknamed the Queen of the Missions for its grand architecture.
The Arts & Crafts movement is alive and well in Santa Barbara. Walk around the four square blocks of historic Bungalow Haven, a well-maintained neighborhood just six blocks from State Street downtown.
A short drive to Montecito brings you to Lotusland, the fantastic gardens begun by Madame Ganna Walska in 1941. The motto of the famous Polish opera singer and socialite—"I'm an enemy of the average"—is evident in the exotic gardens and her home, now open to the public (lotusland.org).
Another day trip starts with a 45-minute drive northeast up Highway 101, through the steep chaparral of the San Rafael and Santa Ynez Mountains to quaint communities in the Santa Ynez Valley. Buellton, at the intersection of 101 and State Highway 246, has a variety of shops, restaurants, and wine-tasting rooms. Buellton is the Home of Split Pea Soup, thanks to Pea Soup Andersen's Restaurant, which opened in 1924. The charming town of Los Alamos (Spanish for "cottonwoods") is at the entrance to the Valley at the junction of 101 and State Highway 135. You're in the heart of the wine country in the Santa Ynez Valley (gogrape.com/santabarbara).
My favorite community in the Valley is Solvang (Danish for "sunny fields"), founded in 1911 by Danish immigrants. It's a European-style village of shops and restaurants; I had a cranberry and apricot salad at Panino on First Street, across from the extraordinary Solvang Antique Center (solvangantiques.com). On Wednesday afternoons, a splendid flower and local produce market takes over First Street.

There are certain questions that have been asked since the dawn of civilization:
Who are we ?
Where did we come from ?
Why are we here ?
What is life all about ?
The answers to all of these questions are conclusively resolved in the now complete 'You Are Exiles' documentary presentation.
This is the most shocking release of any mind-blowing spiritual reveals there will ever be – ever. This is a gift from above. Enjoy it responsibly and all glory be to God The Father if you have been blessed to receive such knowledge and understanding that surpasses the sight of all human perception.
The big secret about your identity that the world does not want you to know about. There is a very dark truth about Satanic ritualistic cannibalism and how it fuels the coming One-World-Government. There is a dark, supernatural army of Locust like creatures that will be released during the Tribulation. Satan has been building his personal army for generations... Lucifer's Shadow Government operates in the dark corners on Earth, and infects all major spheres of influence.
"The god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them." 2 CORINTHIANS 4:4
"Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby" EPHESIANS 2:15-16
"And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile" 1 PETER 1:17
When we incarnate into this world we are stripped of our former memories. As part of the great mystery and fabric of creation we have remembrance that connects back to before the beginning, to the foundations of the world and universe when Yahweh/Yahushuah as part of self, held all in being. We have been with the Father and Son since before the institution of time. The reason our memories are swept from us is so that we enter as a clean slate for renewed chance at redemption and salvation. What we do in this lifetime as angels, imprisoned within the flesh, determines our eternal fates and what we do in the life hereafter. Those who are blessed to be counted among the most elect will, in fact, judge angels and sit as jurors in the councils of the Lord to convict and condemn the rebel and fallen angels intended to be as gods themselves, forging a path of self service and vain personal glory.
"Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?"
(1 Corinthians 6:2-3 KJV Holy Bible)
There are only two paths we can follow in life, one as a foot washer in service to one another or as tyrant king in service to self. One is the path of priesthood or the way of Abel, and the other of kingship and divine right to rule—or the way of Cain. Those who follow the Lord and adhere to His commandments become the priests, prophets, and apostles that are stood up by the Lord to serve the people. Those who are appointed by Satan to become kings, queens, rulers, presidents, and prime ministers in service of a New World Order are usually personas that serve his goal of world domination. These individuals believe in their divine right to rule over and decide the collective direction of the world. The fact that many of them gather yearly at Bohemian Grove to worship a 40- foot owl, in a mock ritual sacrifice of a human effigy, lets one know that something weird is still ongoing.

Charter schools, good or bad? That's the question raised by director Madeleine Sackler's timely but standard documentary "The Lottery."
It revolves around four hard-luck families who enter their kids in the admissions lottery for the highly regarded Harlem Success Academy. There are, we're told, 3,000 applicants for 475 seats in this charter school, which receives public dollars yet is exempt from many burdensome regulations, including union rules. The kids' futures are left to the luck of the draw.
Sackler gives voice to parents, teachers, principals, students and Joel Klein, chancellor of New York's schools. There's even a sound bite from President Obama.
What's to blame for the lousy education too many kids receive in NYC's public schools? The teachers union, the city bureaucracy or, perhaps, the pervasive poverty of families?
The film has no ready answers, although it becomes abundantly clear that both those for and against charter schools are more concerned with covering their own asses than with helping students get a quality education.

If you live somewhere where it's hard to get fold-over elastic (FOE) or if you have very sensitive skin that doesn't tolerate FOE or if you're just wanting to further increase what you can do with your Tropo Camisole pattern, this is a great hack for you.
To start you'll need ribbing or even just a length of any lightweight, stretchy knit. I happened to have 1 3/4″ wide strips of baby rib already, but you can cut strips yourself. It's up to you how wide you want the strips to be – I suggest reading through all of the tutorial first as it talks you through a few different considerations you'll need to make in regards to width. In short, your strip should be just a bit wider than 3 x the width of your ribbing application seam allowance.
Assemble your Tropo Camisole to the point at which you would add your FOE. Slightly stretching the ribbing, sew it right sides together against the right sides of the Front and Back necklines of the camisole. Just like with FOE, you'll want to practice sewing a sample of ribbing to your fabric. You want the ribbing to be taught enough that it doesn't cause the neckline to stretch out and ripple but you don't want it to be pulled so tight that it gathers the neckline fabric.
You can use whatever seam allowance you want to apply the ribbing. The width of your seam allowance (plus a small turn of the cloth) is the width of ribbing that will show along the neckline on your finished camisole. I used a scant 1/2″ seam allowance because I wanted to emphasize the contrast. Note that your seam allowance must be less than 1/3 the width of your ribbing (you'll see why in the next two steps).
Fold the ribbing up and over to the back and topstitch along the seam to secure the binding in place. Remember that you'll need to use a stretch stitch (like you did in constructing the camisole).
From the inside, you can trim off the excess of your ribbing.
Now it's time to sew the arm straps. This is where you'll have to do some experimenting with length. Since rib knits can vary greatly in their stretchiness you may find that you need a length similar to that suggested in the pattern for FOE or you may find you need something completely different. Pin (or baste), try on, modify, re-pin (or baste), and try it on some more for the perfect length.
Sew the ends of your ribbing together so you have a circular length of ribbing. Then sew the the ribbing to the underarm, right sides together.
You're going to top stitch the ribbing along the underarm in the same seam that you sew the strap. This is why you need your ribbing to be just over 3 x the width of your seam allowance. Fold the ribbing up and down to the wrong side (like you did along the neckline) and pin it in place. Help the strap ribbing to fold into thirds like the underarm ribbing.
Pin the ribbing along the length of the strap.
Sew along the seam at the underarm and continue the stitching along the strap, making sure that you're stitching through all three layers of fabric on the strap. Trim the excess fabric from the ribbing at the underarm like you did for the necklines. Start playing Every Day Dress Up!
Swooning over my fabric? Thanks! I, too, love a good dinosaur fabric. I designed it and had it printed for me by My Fabric Designs. You can find it here.

Factual · Powerful · Original · Iconoclastic
IF they make it beyond the Petri dish, these embyronic cells could help with diabetes in something over a decade.
The slick Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation International flyer that appeared in Sunday newspapers throughout the country showed a little girl on monkey bars with her hand just inches from the next bar. "The cure is so close we can almost touch it," her accompanying mother says. Likewise, JDRF Chairwoman Mary Tyler Moore proclaimed in a recent TV commercial, "We are so close to finding a cure."
So wrong. JDRF is the world's largest juvenile diabetes philanthropy, distributing over $85 million in grants last year. Yet it supports no efforts that could lead to a cure any time soon for this blinding and crippling disease that afflicts as many as 1.7 million Americans. Instead it's become a lobby for controversial embryonic stem cell research and refuses to help fund the only study that could soon bring a cure.
Don't take my word for it. On the JDRF website's "stem cell information" page you'll find more links to ESC advocacy articles, editorials/Op-Eds and testimonies than a German wurst-maker has links.
"For further information" it refers readers to a single group – the Coalition for the Advancement of Medical Research. But the only research CAMR seeks to advance concerns embryos; indeed, it's the nation's largest ESC lobbying group. JDRF was one of the eight founding members of CAMR in 2000 and the 2001 CAMR chairman was Lawrence Soler, currently a vice-president with the JDRF.
JDRF's chairman of program development, Gail Pressberg, is a senior fellow for the left-wing Civil Society Institute, which periodically releases slanted-question polls to persuade the federal and state governments to spend more on ESC research. Speaking of one such poll intended to support a New Jersey ESC bond initiative, Pressberg said in a press release: "This survey shows widespread support in New Jersey for letting the public decide the fate of state funding for stem-cell research." As ESC backers so often do, she left out the word "embryonic" to obfuscate the issue.
The top item on JDRF's "issue information" page is "Embryonic Stem Cell Research," with subcategories like Progress with Embryonic Stem Cell Research. It also bashes what many see as an alternative that's both medically superior and carries no moral baggage – adult stem cells. Its "Limitations of Adult Stem Cell Research" link is packed with such disinformation as "Adult stem cells cannot be induced to develop into any cell type." In fact, since 2002 at least four different labs have published results indicating they can.
Now try the American Diabetes Association website. You won't see glorification of ESCs or bashing of ASCs. Those quaint folk only seem to care about diabetes, not politics.
If want to support ESC research, send a check to JDRF. But if want a cure for diabetes, you may as well send it here.
By no means do all the members of JDRF buy into the ESC propaganda, but they are muzzled by the higher-ups. One form parents were forced to sign to attend the JDRF Children's Congress of 2003 stated: "If there is discussion of such controversial topics as embryonic stem-cell research, I will either embrace the JDRF legislative position on such topics or will not work against the JDRF position."
The JDRF also contributed $1 million to California's Proposition 71, which will funnel $3 billion in state funds to ESC researchers. Rep. Michael Castle, R.-Del., an ardent ESC research advocate, told the National Journal's Neil Munro that JDRF's ESC promotion is "the best lobbying campaign I've ever seen."
The ESC obsession "just flies in the face of their mission," insists Larry Raff, a former JDRF fundraiser and now president of the Autoimmune Disease Research Foundation. Raff and his wife have actually donated embryos for experimentation. But he knows what any honest ESC researcher will tell you – that if ESCs ever translates into any human therapy it won't within the decade. "So close?"
Meanwhile, as I've written previously, Harvard researcher Dr. Denise Faustman was the first to cure diabetes in mice and now seeks funds for a clinical trial to replicate her fantastic results in humans. Thrice she has applied to JDRF; thrice they have rejected her. Never mind her impeccable credentials and that she even reviewed grants for JDRF.
Her transgression seems to be that her treatment involves restoring dead insulin-producing cells in the pancreas with ASCs already present in the body. Despite what the JDRF would have you think there have already been tremendous breakthroughs in ASC therapy, with over 80 treatments and almost 300 human clinical trials underway – versus zero treatments or trials for ESCs. Still, nothing would belie the false claims of ESC lobbyists more than curing diabetes with ASCs.
Of course there may be other reasons for rejecting Faustman, but JDRF won't say what they are. They refused to let me interview them, specifically citing my prior writings favorable to ASC research. Curious, that.
Former top Time Warner executive J. Richard Munro once chaired the JDRF board but is now bitter towards the group and sits on the board of Raff's organization instead. "I'm a huge fan of Denise [Faustman] and simply cannot understand why JDRF won't fund her," he told me. "For 25 years my two sons have been diabetic and it's maddening that nothing has changed."
Nor will it, if we count on the "so close" JDRF.

Homemade Root Vegetable Crisps, Herb Salt
great for kids
These homemade root vegetable crisps are easy to make and cost the fraction of the price of commercial alternatives. Children, especially, will enjoy their sweetness and bright colour. Feel free to chop and change the root vegetables according to what you have in the fridge – it's a good way to use up leftovers.
1 large red beetroot
1 large golden beetroot
1 large carrot
1 large parsnip
1 sweet potato
light olive oil or melted coconut oil to coat
For the Herb salt
10g fresh rosemary
10g sage leaves
40g Maldon salt
Pre heat oven to 160c.
Make the herb salt in a small food processor or blender, whizzing until fine. You will have more than you need. Leave in an open jar to dry out.
Spiral the peeled vegetables on the slicing rather than noodle setting. You should get long ribbons. Gently massage coconut oil so they are evenly covered and place on 2-3 oven trays in a single layer
Bake for around 30 minutes, opening the oven door a few times to let moisture out and help them dry. Timing will depend on the thickness of your slices and your oven, so keep a close eye and take out before the crisps start to brown. They will crisp up as they cool.
Sprinkle with Herb Salt.

Hector Berrios, an attorney in San Isidro, Cabañas, forwarded us a letter he wrote yesterday to staff at the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL) in Washington DC. Hector applied for a visa to visit the United States to participate in an October 25th meeting with the Inter-American Court on Human Rights . Though Hector had all of the required documentation, including invitations from CIEL and the Organization of American States, he was denied a visa, preventing him from testifying. As Hector points out, his is not the only application to be denied; other activists from Cabañas have also been prevented from coming to the United States to participate in the meeting.
Hosting institutions such as the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the OAS, and many others, carries with it an obligation to give people access. The U.S. should not use the visa hurdle as a way to regulate who has a voice.
With Hector's permission, we've translated and posted his letter in its entirety:
Dear Sofia Splagakis,
I would like to inform you that this morning I presented myself at the US embassy in El Salvador in accordance with the appointment scheduled by the embassy. At the moment of the interview, the consular officer asked me for a variety of documentation. She asked that I present a US visa, which has been valid for the last 10 years and previously authorized by the embassy. She also asked that I present the Invitation letter from the Organization of American States (OAS), and the letter from the Center for International Environmental Law (CIEL). I noticed that the consular official glanced over the OAS letter and put it aside, whereas she carefully examined the letter from CIEL. After that, she began to type on her computer—transcribing the facts from the CIEL letter. A moment later she excused herself (taking the CIEL letter). From her actions I concluded that she went to consult with someone in regard to the CIEL letter, since that was the only document she took with her.
When she returned she asked me if I had any properties in my name. I said yes, and showed her the deed to my house with my name clearly written. Next she asked me for proof of my salary, and I gave her the documentation, showing a monthly salary of $1500. She asked me about my profession and I responded that I am an attorney, while showing her the respective documentation. She asked about my bank accounts, and I presented her proof of two bank accounts in my name with a total available balance of $2100. She asked if I was married and if I had children, to which I responded yes. She asked if I have family in the United States and if so, what is their immigration status. I responded that my Father is a permanent resident and my two brothers are US citizens. She asked me where they live and I said in Los Angeles. She asked about my destination in the US, and I told her that I would travel to Washington, DC for a meeting with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights.
Finally, she apologized and said that she was not able to approve the visa this time. I provided all the necessary documentation to receive a visa to travel to the US, but my request to participate in the meeting with the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights on October 25, 2010 was arbitrarily refused. I believe that the US Congress, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and the Organization of American States should promptly examine what is happening to people in El Salvador that are involved in the issues of mining exploitation and its relation with the Central American Free Trade Agreement and wish to travel to the United States. I am not the only person that has encountered this type of discrimination; 10 days ago, the visa request of Zenayda Serrando was denied, as was that of Father Neftaly Ruiz. Both Zenayda Serrando and Father Ruiz were invited by members of the US Congress to discuss the mining issue.
This type of negative attitude and obstruction of the people's justice by the US consular officers is the result of the policy of the US embassy in El Salvador. It should be publicly reported that the embassy is obstructing access to justice for the people of El Salvador that want to make complaints in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-American_Commission_on_Human_Rights), which is part of the Inter-American System of Human Rights. They are taking advantage of the fact that the organization is headquartered in Washington, DC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington,_D.C.) by prohibiting access to this event, and obstructing the people's justice. These people are part of the signing states of the Organization of American States, which is a regional organization with the objective of serving as a public forum for multilateral dialogs, regional integration, and decision making in the American arena. The organization works to fortify peace and security, consolidate democracy, and protect human rights (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_rights) in the Americas. I await your response.
Héctor Berríos
We will be following up on this issue in the coming days.
