Gus Van Sant: Vague Recollections
Vague Recollections: An Introduction
By Michael Koresky, Jeff Reichert |	November 24, 2007
To look at Van Sant's career monolithically, without taking his films apart one by one, does him, and film, a disservice.
By Michael Koresky |	November 22, 2007
No grand artistic summation or even a proper refining of pet themes and motifs, Paranoid Park finds Gus Van Sant further whittling on the same piece of wood. It must be a nub by this point.
By Ohad Landesman |	November 21, 2007
Elephant, Van Sant's ambitious endeavor about real-life psychos, killing fellow students in American high schools—a problem about as easy to ignore as an elephant in the living room—is another effort to reach for what's hidden, to dig into what only lies beneath, and then to put it on display.

Sing to me of the man. No, not a mere mortal man. A Legend. Young and troubled, misunderstood and alone, beautiful, damned, visionary, stark raving mad, and far too pure for this world.
By Michael Joshua Rowin |	November 20, 2007
For gravitating toward the myth of Kurt Cobain—and therefore the rock 'n' roll death myth itself—while simultaneously attempting to push out of its orbit, Gus Van Sant's Last Days is a fascinating film. But it's an awkward one for those whose formative years were affected or influenced by Nirvana . . .
By Adam Nayman |	November 19, 2007
The "ors" have it in Gerry, which is a different kind of Rorschach test than the ones formulated by Benning. The onus is on us, as Van Sant's own descriptions of the film aren't particularly useful.
Finding Forrester
By Brendon Bouzard |	November 18, 2007
Apparently, the executives at Columbia Pictures liked Good Will Hunting so much that it commissioned its own version. What they got was Finding Forrester, a singular work in Gus Van Sant's oeuvre.
So, then, as an experiment, naturally Psycho is designed to be a failure, an object lesson in the ebbs and flows of film history, as well as constant reminder of the endless fascination, terror, and ramshackle beauty of the original.
By Justin Stewart |	November 16, 2007
It's not often that a director disappears quite so purposely as Gus Van Sant did into Good Will Hunting.
By Chris Wisniewski |	November 14, 2007
A satire about the now-dying medium of broadcast television, inspired by the then-timely true story of a New Hampshire woman who convinced her teenage lover and his friends to kill her husband, To Die For is an artifact of a passed cultural moment.
Even Cowgirls Get the Blues
By Ryland Walker Knight |	November 13, 2007
Van Sant, for the most part, replicates the structure of Robbins's novel instead of adapting it, or reworking it, for film: beautiful young Uma Thurman's Sissy is caricatured, instead of characterized by her assigned attributes.
By Travis MacKenzie Hoover |	November 12, 2007
When it first came out, My Own Private Idaho was unambiguously stamped with the label "gay movie." Van Sant himself was eventually lumped in with the nascent Queer New Wave of Haynes, Kalin, and Araki, but this was an afterthought at best.
By Marianna Martin |	November 12, 2007
Let's acknowledge up front that, no matter how hard we strive to focus on directorial matters, the star personas of River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves must come to the fore of any discussion of My Own Private Idaho.
Drugstore Cowboy
By Nathan Kosub |	November 11, 2007
Van Sant's first hit was Drugstore Cowboy. It is a movie about drug culture, about Portland and the Pacific Northwest in the 1970s, and about the reliable marketability of pretty young actors playing outlaws.
Mala Noche
By Jeff Reichert |	November 10, 2007
The consistently elusive nature of Gus Van Sant presents difficulties in trying to locate him within the body of American Independent cinema. He's generally considered an important figure for the movement, but why, exactly?

Common Sense: Suffrage in Somalia
Posted at 7:45 am on February 28, 2012 by onorth
Puntland President Abdirahman Mohamed Farole
MOGADISHU, Somalia — There are few success stories here in this tortured country on the eastern coast of Africa. For nearly two decades, this drought-ravaged land and the long-suffering Somali people have been "off the radar" for most Americans.
It might still be so if it were not for radical Islamist Somali terrorists — al-Shabab — and their financiers, the seagoing pirates who seize merchant vessels plying the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden. All of that is about to change.
Last week, as our two-man Fox News unit was en route, Ayman al-Zawahri, the Egyptian cleric who inherited Osama bin Laden's mantle as leader of al-Qaida, released a videotape declaring that al-Shabab is now formally part of the "global jihad" against the Western world. Zawahri's desperate bid for attention didn't do his Somali allies any favors. The announcement may well presage the demise of al-Shabab.
The brutal Somali terror group is now on the run. Remnants of the organization that once threatened to make Mogadishu its capital have fled west — driven from the city by well-trained, disciplined Ugandan troops dispatched and supplied by the African Union. We accompanied them over terrain once trodden by U.S. Marines in the early 1990s and stained with the blood of American special operators who set out to capture the notorious warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid in 1993. The heroism and perseverance of those who made that effort were captured in the book and film "Black Hawk Down."
Unlike U.S. troops who fought here almost two decades ago, the African soldiers who freed this city and now provide security for its 2 million residents — nearly half of whom are refugees displaced by drought, famine and violence — receive few accolades in the Western media. They deserve better. Many of them are graduates of U.S. military schools and are applying "low-profile" counterinsurgency tactics the way they are meant to be practiced. One of their officers put it bluntly: "In the U.S., we were taught to learn from your mistakes."
From a week on the ground here in Somalia, that appears to be a theme — one that is proving devastating to al-Shabab. About 160 miles to the northwest of this long-suffering city, Ethiopian troops have liberated Baidoa, a terror stronghold in south-central Somalia.
This victory comes on the heels of a political triumph — a "constitutional assembly" in Garowe, capital of the autonomous state of Puntland, the largest such national gathering ever convened in Africa. There our Fox News team witnessed the signing of an agreement for a new constitutional framework. The document — drafted by and for Somalis — specifies a bicameral legislature, ordains an executive branch with enumerated powers, requires an independent judiciary, rejects a foreign-imposed "caretaker government" and offers universal suffrage to every man and woman in Somalia.
Much of the hard work done to achieve the new constitution and a stable government based on the rule of law instead of lawless rulers is being done by Somalis who were once refugees. Prime Minister Abdiweli Mohamed Ali and Puntland President Abdirahman Mohamed Farole were but two of the dozens of U.S.-Somali dual citizens we met at the assembly in Garowe. They all gave up comfortable lives in America to help rebuild this devastated country.
In our interview with Farole, he expressed hope that the U.S. and European governments will support his initiative to establish an effective maritime police force to "eliminate the scourge of piracy" because it "threatens the global economy" and jeopardizes the foreign investment that Somalia so desperately needs. He already has found a reliable partner in this effort. The United Arab Emirates has stepped up to provide funds for recruiting, training and equipping a police force to defeat the pirates on land and at sea — while respecting the rights of the people it protects.
We seized the opportunity to accompany the fledgling Puntland Maritime Police Force on an aerial reconnaissance of pirate dens along the Somali coast and documented how the PMPF trains for missions on land and conducts near-shore interdiction and inspections of vessels at sea. When the organization is fully manned and outfitted, it will have more than 1,000 police capable of enforcing the law along Somalia's coastline — the longest in continental Africa.
Creating such a force is no small task in a country that has suffered from more than 40 years of horrendous hardship. The breakdown of civil order and descent into chaos that began here in the 1960s drove away businesses essential to employment, devastated a thriving agricultural economy and wrecked the hopes of exploiting Somalia's resources. A record-breaking drought has added to the misery of millions. Formal education has all but vanished — yielding an illiteracy rate that exacerbates the economic collapse.
None of these problems will go away overnight. But, as Farole noted during the historic constitutional assembly in Garowe, "we must start with law, order and justice," or "lawless piracy and brutality will continue." Such an outcome is what al-Shabab — now on its heels — wants. And that would turn the promise of suffrage for all Somalis into a tragedy for all of us.

Barnes & Nobles has been acquired by Paul Singer's giant hedge fund after years of decline (BKS)
Rebecca Ungarino
Jun. 7, 2019, 08:57 AM
Elliott Management is acquiring Barnes & Noble for about $683 million including debt, the companies said Friday.
While the bookseller has lost half its market value in the past five years, its shares soared Thursday after The Wall Street Journal reported the deal was in the works.
Watch Barnes & Noble trade live.
Elliott Management, the hedge fund led by the investor Paul Singer, is acquiring the beleaguered bookseller Barnes & Noble for about $683 million including debt, the companies announced Friday.
Elliott is acquiring the bookseller in an all-cash transaction that's expected to close in the third quarter. Shares of Barnes & Noble jumped early Friday on the announcement, a move that followed a 30% surge Thursday after The Wall Street Journal reported the deal was imminent.
Barnes & Noble would not mark Elliott's first bookstore deal. Elliott acquired Waterstones, the largest retail bookseller in the United Kingdom, one year ago. That chain's chief executive, James Daunt, will also assume the role of Barnes & Noble CEO once the deal is complete.
Elliott's investment in the bookseller, which has lost about half of its market value in five years, highlights the challenges brick-and-mortar retailers are facing in the age of online shopping and the rise of Amazon.

Once a $2.4 billion company by market capitalization around its peak in 2006, Barnes & Noble has seen its market value shrink to just over $436 million. Its shares traded just under $6 apiece as of Thursday's close.
Last year, the New York-based company was mired in legal drama involving Demos Parneros, the bookseller's former chief executive. Parneros sued Barnes & Noble in August, saying the company falsely accused him of violating its sexual-harassment policy before terminating him without severance.
At the time, Barnes & Noble said the lawsuit was "an attempt to extort money from the company by a CEO who was terminated for sexual harassment, bullying behavior, and other violations of company policies."
In its Friday statement, Elliott said the fund was betting on the "experience" of bookstores.
"Our investment in Barnes & Noble, following our investment last year in Waterstones, demonstrates our conviction that readers continue to value the experience of a great bookstore," Paul Best, a portfolio manager who is head of European private equity at Elliott, said in a release.
Barnes & Noble is scheduled to report its fiscal 2019 fourth-quarter and year-end earnings results on June 19.

Fifth District Reinstates Judgment of Second Parent Adoption
In the Matter of the Adoption of D.P.P., 158 So. 3d 633 (Fla. 5th DCA 2014), the Fifth District Court of Appeal reversed an order vacating a second parent adoption. The trial court terminated the parent-child relationship between a mom (G.P.), and the parties' child. Voiding the adoption, the trial court reasoned, because two unmarried women filed an uncontested petition for adoption, the petition didn't invoke the circuit court's subject matter jurisdiction. The Fifth District disagreed. The circuit court had subject matter jurisdiction and the other mom (C.P.), couldn't now challenge the adoption she helped procure.
Reversing, the appellate court stated that "it would be unconscionable to allow C.P. to invoke the jurisdiction of the court for the sole purpose of creating a parent-child relationship between G.P. and D.P.P. and then to allow her to destroy that same relationship because her relationship with G.P. has ended." The court reinstated the final judgment of adoption and G.P.'s parental relationship with the child.

Adoption by Extended Family Member
In D.P.P., a same-sex woman in a committed relationship with her partner raised, then legally adopted, the partner's biological child. The facts and story were different in I.B. v. Adoption of Z.E.S., 238 So. 3d 847 (Fla. 4th DCA 2018).
In IB, a child's grandmother petitioned under the Florida Adoption Act to terminate her daughter's parental rights and adopt the child. The child's grandfather consented to the adoption, as did the biological mom.
The child's biological dad joined in the grandmother's petition to terminate the mother's parental rights and to adopt the child. But he didn't consent to termination of his own parental rights.
Dad and the grandmother acted for 2 years as the child's de facto co-parents. The child thrived under this arrangement. Had the adoption petition succeeded, they'd have been the child's two legal parents.
Rejecting this attempt, the Fourth District held the dad – already a legal parent – couldn't be a joint petitioner in an adoption of his own child, to avoid termination of his own parental rights and to add a second parent: the maternal grandmother.
Distinguishing D.P.P., the court in I.B. held the moms in D.P.P. were in a "committed" relationship at the time of the adoption. The child was born into a two-parent home where the parents were in a familial relationship with each other and the child. The I.B. court reasoned: "Sanctioning the adoption in D.P.P. was essentially sanctioning adoption by a stepparent because at the time, same-sex marriage was illegal in Florida." The Legislature has clearly stated its preference that an adoption result in "adoptive parents" raising the adoptee as if the child were "born to such adoptive parents in lawful wedlock." § 63.032(2).

Temporary Custody by Extended Family Member
In 2020, the Florida Legislature passed a bill the Governor approved that expanded, effective July 1, 2020, the definition of an "extended family member" who may seek temporary custody of a child.
Now an "extended family member" includes a "fictive kin" — someone "unrelated by birth, marriage, or adoption who has an emotionally significant relationship, which possesses the characteristics of a family relationship, to a child." That means someone who has no relationship to the child by birth, marriage, or adoption will be able to petition for temporary or concurrent custody.

Q: Circuit works on battery but not on power supply. Any ideas why?

simulate this circuit – Schematic created using CircuitLab
I have built a wooden clock that is powered by an electromagnetically driven pendulum.  Circuit given above was originally developed by a chap called Dick Bipes.  In principle it works by a magnet attached to the end of a pendulum passing over a coil which detects the passing magnet and after a short delay, sends power to the coil to repel the magnet and keep the pendulum moving.  An MSP430 processor is used to do some clever calculations and keep the timing accurate.
The circuit works fine when powered by 6V battery but ceases to work properly when I replace the battery with one of those plug in variable voltage power supplies!  The processor doesn't initialise and I get no output to the coil.  I have checked voltages and everything appears to be fine - correct voltage to processor, etc.
However, when using the power supply, if I connect the negative rail from my breadboard to Ground on my Launchpad which is connected to my laptop via USB and the laptop is plugged into the mains, everything springs to life!  (Doesn't happen unless laptop is plugged into mains!)
So sounds like some sort of grounding issue but why does it work OK on battery and not power supply?  (Have checked power supply and it is providing the expected 6V).  Any thoughts or ideas on how I can resolve this frustrating issue?

A: You have noise current pulses from D2 which creates large dI/dt * wire inductance (voltage noise spikes) and this can cause glitches to nearby cables and supply voltage.
If adding a Low ESR cap to PS out does not help, a large CM choke between Vdc out and in will help greatly to isolate glitch current noise. (100uH CM choke recommended or large ferrite clamshell around DC cable source.

A: Your power supply provides power between the + and - terminals.  The ground connection is there to give you the ground reference w.r.t. to the supply's ground.
So you actually need to do exactly what you did -- connect the ground terminal to the - terminal to make it a +voltage supply.

Richard "Dick" Milhous Dastardly (em português do Brasil chamado de Dick Vigarista e em Portugal como Dick Detestável) é um personagem fictício e vilão que surgiu em várias séries de desenhos animados de Hanna-Barbera. As mais famosas aparições do personagem principal são na série Wacky Races, como primeira aparição, e no spin-off desta, Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines.

Ele é essencialmente uma caricatura do ator inglês Terry-Thomas e inspirado no personagem Professor Fate (interpretado por Jack Lemmon) no filme The Great Race (A Corrida do Século). É uma paródia de antagonista, possuindo uma iconografia típica do estereótipo "vilão": alto e magro, com um sorriso diabólico e um bigode fino, sempre vestido com roupas escuras. Está sempre acompanhado de seu amigo Muttley.

Dick Vigarista era conhecido por ser o malvado da história, sempre tentando ganhar a Corrida Maluca com trapaças, porém acabava sempre se dando mal e terminando as corridas em última colocação. Inúmeras vezes Dick Vigarista, liderando a corrida após realizar suas traquinagens, acabava por ter seu carro parado a poucos centímetros da linha final, com todos o ultrapassando em seguida, deixando-o em último.

Por outro lado, em Dastardly and Muttley in Their Flying Machines, Dick não é retratado como mau ou desonesto, mas, sim, como aparentemente regenerado, sendo respeitado e contando com suas ordens obedecidas pelos outros aviadores, que muito o estimam, ainda que se mostre, na maioria das vezes, rabugento e sarcástico.

Na Wacky Races de 2017, é revelado que o Dick Vigarista que voou na Primeira Guerra Mundial era o pai do Dick Vigarista (presumivelmente Dick Jr.) da Wacky Races original. Na nova versão, o filho/descendente de Dick Jr., Dick Vigarista III, sai vitorioso em uma corrida (no episódio "Grandfather Knows Dast") - mas apenas porque os outros pilotos o deixaram vencer!

O nome "Dick Vigarista" é um dos apelidos do piloto de Fórmula 1 Michael Schumacher, não só pelo tipo de rosto mas como nas atitudes pouco éticas do piloto alemão sete vezes campeão do mundo.

Abstract: Synthesis of OCS Well Information, Offshore Central and Northern California, Oregon, and Washington
D. L. Zieglar, J. K. Cassell
Well histories and records from the 20 exploratory wells drilled on OCS leases offshore central and northern California, the 8 wells drilled offshore Oregon, and the 4 wells drilled offshore Washington were made public by the U.S. Geological Survey December 1, 1974. Analysis and synthesis of data related to drilling times, mud weights, fracture gradients, rock types, and shows of petroleum are of value in evaluating geologic hazards , environmental risks, petroleum resources, and the programming of future offshore exploration. OCS sale 53 offshore central and northern California is scheduled for February 1981.
The 20 central and northern California wells were drilled in the period from September 1963 to September 1967. Weather interrupted the drilling of two of the five wells drilled from shipshape vessels but did not delay those drilled using semisubmersible drilling equipment. As no excessive mud weights were used in drilling the wells, abnormal formation pressures are not present in the wells to the depths drilled. Mud-weight gradients were only 65 to 70% of the fracture gradient. Shows of oil were found in the wells drilled in the offshore Santa Maria, Outer Santa Cruz, Bodega, and Point Arena basins in sandstone zones and fractured siliceous shale and chert intervals.
The 12 tests drilled offshore Oregon and Washington were drilled during the period from April 1965 to August 1967. Weather -related delays affected each of the two wells drilled from shipshape vessels. One test using a semisubmersible was drilled during the winter season from November through March, and its operations were interrupted for periods of several days by severe winter storms. Some rigs, when occupying their locations, had difficulties setting anchors because of the nature of the seafloor sediments and had to have holes drilled within which to secure the anchors. One well had to drill 3 surface holes before having one stable enough to run conductor casing. With the site investigating and positioning techniques currently used before drilling, such problems can now be recognize and mitigated. All the wells, except the Soco-Union 103, encountered sloughing shales and abnormal subsurface pressures requiring the usage of heavy drilling muds with mud-weight gradients of 85 to 90% of the fracture gradient. Only minor shows of oil and gas were found. In response to two Department of Interior inquiries, industry has ranked offshore Oregon and Washington as a low-priority area of interest.

Senator Dino Melaye, representing Kogi Weat senatorial district, has claimed that President Muhammadu Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC, have plans to use the ₦60 billion approved to support rice industry, for their 2019 election campaigns.
The Federal Government had yesterday approved the N60 billion subsidy as an assistance to the rice industry in the country.
Minister of Agriculture, Chief Audu Ogbe, made this known to State House correspondents after a meeting of the National Food Security Council presided over by President Buhari in Abuja on Friday.
The minister stated that the subsidy is aimed at bringing down the price of the commodity in the country.
But in reaction to the development, Melaye vowed to monitor how the fund will be spent.
He tweeted on Friday night, "60 billion Naira Presidential approval to boost rice industry is fundraising for APC towards the 2019 election.


What are Clear and invisible braces?
A popular alternative to traditional metal braces, clear braces moves your teeth quickly and safely without it being obvious that you're wearing braces. Our highly skilled orthodontists use innovative and cutting-edge and its benefits are this clear braces that can even be conveniently removed as required for eating, brushing and flossing.
In contrast to traditional metal braces, invisible braces straighten your teeth while remaining hidden from sight. Clear braces are the perfect choice for adults and for all ages who wants to improve their smile without the whole world knowing!
Removable braces provide you with more comfort and flexibility than fixed braces, as they can be simply taken out for eating, brushing and flossing.
Straightening crooked teeth can greatly benefit your oral health. Unlike crooked or overlapping teeth, straight teeth are easy to clean and can reduce your risk of developing gum disease in the future.
If you have minor teeth misalignment issues and dislike the thought of having traditional metal braces, clear removable braces are worth considering. Simply visit your dentist to discuss your options. Your dentist will fully examine your teeth and gums, ask you about your situation and goals, and then determine the right course of treatment for you.
It's important to note that invisible removable braces require a visit to your dentist every two weeks to receive new aligners, so for this type of treatment you must be prepared to make a commitment of this level.
Ceramic braces are the same size and shape as traditional metal braces, yet the brackets are clear or tooth-coloured. The wires can also be made tooth-coloured to look as natural as possible.
Lingual braces are the same as traditional metal braces, except that the brackets and wires are placed on the inside of the teeth.
Provided by Invisalign and Damon Clear, clear plastic removable braces are virtually invisible and allow you to eat and drink freely.
Invisalign treatment can be completed in as little as four months (usually 9-12 months). Your dentist will take moulds of your teeth and provide you with a series of custom-made aligners. These aligners will be worn for two weeks at a time, with fortnightly visits to your dentist to receive each new set of aligners. As the treatment progresses, your teeth will gradually become straighter as they slowly move into the correct position.
Although treatment times vary from patient to patient, Damon Clear braces can straighten teeth six months faster than other orthodontic treatments. These braces use miniature clips instead of elastic bands to hold the wires into the brackets. Therefore, there is little friction between the wires and the brackets, allowing the teeth to move into the correct position faster. Damon Clear braces don't require tightening or adjusting, so you won't need to visit your dentist as often as you would with metal braces.
The six-month smiles technique uses clear braces to move your teeth quickly and safely. In just six months you can straighten any minor crookedness to improve the appearance of your smile. Rather than uncomfortable tightening methods, we use low force to gently move your teeth into the desired position. To achieve your six-month smile you can either wear a removable retainer or a bonded one. There are a number of options you can choose from, in consultation with your dentist to suit your own individual situation.
The cost of braces varies depending on the extent of your individual requirements. Simply book a consultation with one of Dentists Near Me members to receive an estimate.
With these braces there are no protruding wires or brackets that can uncomfortably prod your mouth and gums. You may experience some mild discomfort once you first begin wearing your braces, but this should pass quite quickly.
How can I ensure the success of my treatment?
As with orthodontic treatment, braces come with a serious long-term commitment. In particular, removable braces require a trip to your dentist every two weeks to receive new aligners. You must also be prepared to carefully follow your dentist's advice on how to properly treat your braces.
Looking after your braces is an important yet very simple task. You can easily keep them clean by brushing with a toothbrush and toothpaste after meals and no less than twice a day. Removable braces should be taken out for eating and drinking. If you have any concerns about looking after your braces, seek advice from your dentist as soon as you can.


If you wish to save the planet from the climate crisis, you have to make some serious changes in your diet plan. A team of scientists and health and environment experts from various countries from all over the world conveyed in their latest report, that humans need to make dietary changes to thrive. The new diet could globally prevent up to 11.6 million premature deaths per year, according to its creators.
According to the food study published in The Lancet, meat and sugar need to fall by half by 2050 and the consumption of veggies, fruits, and legumes to be doubled. This will reduce the global burden posed by the three billion people on Earth who are either over- or under-fed.
Daily poultry consumption would be confined to 29 grams – equivalent to one and a half nuggets – and fish to 28 grams, a quarter of a medium sized fillet. Eggs would be restricted to around 1.5 per week.
"Current diets are pushing the Earth beyond its planetary boundaries, while causing ill health. This puts both people and the planet at risk," the team said.
The lack of balance in the diets around the world is quite evident. Richer nations have a high meat consumption while poor the lack sufficient proteins and nutrients from the lack of food with more than 800 million people getting insufficient kilojoules.
Livestock farming is catastrophic for the environment, producing up to 18% of global greenhouse gases and contributing to deforestation and water shortages.
The authors of the report noted that the ideal diet would vary from region to region, stressing that their menu was designed to show how everyone could get around 10,460 kJ daily, keep healthy and aid the planet.

'Every Issue Has Its Own Look' – Derek Charm Talks Powerpuff Girls Super Smash Up
by Christine Marie
After reading Issue #1 of The Powerpuff Girls Smash Up, my mind flooded with questions that I wanted to ask writer and illustrator Derek Charm. From IDW Publishing, The Powerpuff Girls Super Smash Up #1,is an amazing combination of classic Cartoon Network characters that many of us have loved our entire lives. Derek kindly joined me here on Bleeding Cool to answer some questions about his career and what it's like to work on a book like this.
Christine Marie: I'm so happy that you could join us on Bleeding Cool! I must thank you for speaking to the 90s kid inside of me with Powerpuff Girls Super Smash Up #1. I can't tell you how happy it made me to spend time with these characters again.
Derek Charm: Hi Christine, thanks for having me! I'm right there with you as a 90s kid, and it will always be surreal to get to work on these characters.
CM: What was it like writing and illustrating characters that are so well known by the Cartoon Network demographic? Did you have any concerns when starting the project?
DC: Well, this is my third series using these characters now, and I finally feel really comfortable with them. My main thing was looking at what I'd done in the past and sort of finding the next step. I really wanted this series to be brighter and faster, so my whole palette is cranked up to near-neon in places. I'm also trying some new stuff with the backgrounds, dropping the line art entirely and making it look a little more like a cartoon.
CM: Do you have any past projects, that you feel helped move your creative process forward when writing Powerpuff Girls Smash Up?
DC: Yeah, I feel like it's been a very direct line to this series. My first pro-published work was a two issue fill-in on the original IDW Powerpuff Girls series, and that led straight into Cartoon Network Super Secret Crisis War! with Louise Simonson, where I got to draw in a bunch of different styles all at once. And then this series, which takes all of that one step further and ties back into where it started. I'm very lucky to have an amazing editor like Sarah Gaydos in my corner, who believed in me enough to take me from variant covers to writing and drawing these huge crossover books! Also, as an aside, Sarah's gathering up an amazing group of creators for the backup stories in each issue, highlighting characters in their own adventures that we don't get to spend too much time with in the main story. They add a lot to every issue!
CM: I mentioned in my review of Issue #1 that I particularly enjoyed the small details that you added to the comic to enhance the experience for the reader. My example was the scene during the zoo attack where a side character states "Ugh! This happens every time I go to the zoo." Tell me the importance of these small details to you.
DC: Oh cool, I'm glad you're into those! They're actually my favorite scenes to write. I feel like those side-looks at the people on the street is a big part of the show's humor. Characters like the Talking Dog seem to exist primarily for crowd reaction, and he's one of my very favorite Powerpuff characters. I like the idea that the people of Townsville have seen it all and are mostly annoyed when something like a zoo rampage happens. That guy you mention is actually a character I've used before back in Powerpuff Girls #7, he was a jerk there too.
CM: Issue #1 featured characters from The Powerpuff Girls and Dexter's Laboratory. What inspired you to start out the story this way? Also, do you happen to have a favorite Cartoon Network Universe character?
DC: This story actually went through a lot of changes—I was working on the pitch while I was drawing Super Secret Crisis War—and at first it was way more episodic, with the Dee Dee/monster story being a single issue and involving the Secret Saturdays. But both IDW and Cartoon Network were interested in playing up the humor angle, and we sort of set the heavy-action characters aside. I felt like using Dee Dee as a catalyst for the dimension-hopping was the way to go. It made the whole story much tighter and more personal, in that they're trying to save a friend and having these team-up adventures along the way. Also, stylistically the Powerpuff Girls and Dexter are very close, so it felt natural to start there and then sort of get into the weirder art styles.
Having now gone through most of the Cartoon Network All Stars in these comics, I feel pretty confident saying Red Guy from Cow and Chicken is my favorite character to write/draw/watch. He's pretty much the star of issue 3!
CM: What are you most excited about for future issues of the comic? Can you give readers a little preview of what's to come?
DC: The thing I like best about in this series is that every issue has it's own look. Changing up the art style and background style is a lot of fun and keeps everything fresh. Issue 3 is my favorite issue so far, with the Powerpuff Girls meeting Cow and Chicken and getting to draw in that amazing, exaggerated style. Issue four has an appearance from the Justice Friends AND a team up with Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends! (Friend issue!) And then issue five goes full-on Crisis on Infinite Earths when the Girls turn to Mojo Jojo for help catching Dee Dee. I have a list of characters I can use, and I'm using them all!
CM: Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to join me here on Bleeding Cool. I look forward to seeing what you have in store for our audiences!
DC: Of course! Thank you so much for checking out the book and spreading the word!

Second adar – the month of quantum physics alexander i. poltorak the blogs gas works park fireworks
#adar#electricity bill#gas prices#month#month Adar#physics#quantum#second#Second Adar#Shem Ehiyeh#Shem Havayah#spiritual influence#works
A state of superposition is a physical state unique to quantum theory. In classical physics (such as Newtonian mechanics or thermodynamics) a physical system is either in one electricity and magnetism purcell pdf state or the other, say in a state A or a state B. Only in quantum physics a system can be in a blended state C which is a linear superposition of states A and B. For example, the spin of an electron can be either Up or Down. However, an electron can be in a blurred state of superposition of states Up and Down, which means, the electron has its spin up and down at the same time! Remember the famous Schrödinger gas block install cat that can be alive and dead at the same time? It's because its physical state is a superposition of two states – alive and dead. This is quantum mechanics! But what in the world does it all have to do with the second month of Adar?
Have you ever wondered why there are twelve months in a year, why there are 24 hours in a day? Yes, I know, there are twelve constellations of Zodiac… But those are fairly arbitrary – one can divide the visible night sky in any number of constellations. So, why twelve? On a metaphysical level, it is because the proper Name of God – Havayah – has four gas house pike frederick md letters, which is why it is called in Greek Tetragrammaton: י-ה-ו-ה (YHWH). There are four letters in this Name but only three of them are unique – י ( Yud), ה ( Heh), and ו ( Vav). The letter ה ( Heh) is repeated twice as the second and the fourth letter electricity dance moms full episode. Therefore, there are 12 permutations of these three letters in a four-letter word. According to the Zohar, each of these permutations represents a particular spiritual "energy" specific to a particular month, which receives its "energy" or its "life-force" and spiritual influence from that permutation.
(It is interesting to note that although the second and electric utility companies in california the fourth letters of the Tetragrammaton are the same letter ה – Heh, they are not completely the same. In the wisdom of Kabbalah, while the first ה corresponds to the sephirah of Binah and the World of Creation " Beriah," the second ה corresponds to the sephirah of Malchut and the world of Action " Assiah." If we take these letters to be different, there are 24 possible permutations, each giving its spiritual influence to each hour of the day. The reason we count these 24 hours as two times 12 is because these two letters electricity sources ה, albeit from different spiritual worlds, are nevertheless the same letter giving us two sets of twelve permutations.)
The Midrash asks an obvious question: The Almighty seems to have promised us through the Psalmist that whenever we call upon Him he will answer us – "He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him…" Yet we often pray but our prayers are not necessarily answered. The Midrash suggests that the key to understanding this is in the previous verse, "…because he hath gas konigsforst known My name." Most of us not schooled in esoteric wisdom of Kabbalah do not know His name – hence our prayers are not always answered. What Name is the Midrash referring to? The Arizal says, it is because we don't know which permutation of the letters of the Shem Havayah – Tetragrammaton – corresponds to a particular month of the year mp electricity bill payment. Luckily, the Arizal revealed which of the twelve permutations, called " tzirufei Shem Havayah," corresponds to which month. For example, the configuration of the month of Adar is Heh-Heh-Yud-Waw. Similarly, another Divine name – Shem Ehiyeh spelled א-ה-י-ה ( Alef, Heh, Yud, Heh ) – also has twelve permutations, each of which exerts spiritual influence on every month.
The Arizal taught that when one recites the middle Berachah of the tefilah of Musaf (additional prayer gas stoichiometry practice sheet) on Rosh Hodesh – the blessing that concludes, " Baruch Ata Ado-nai Mekadesh Yisrael Ve'Rosheh Hodashim gas prices going up to 5 dollars" – one should have in mind the configurations of Shem Havayah (YHWH) and Shem Ehiyeh (AHYH) that correspond to that month. The book Bnei Isaschar made this kavanah (intention) very popular and today one can find the table of permutations of the letters of Shem Havayah and Shem Ehiyeh for each month in most Sephardic and Chasidic siddurim (prayer books).
This works well for the twelve months that correspond to the twelve electricity experiments for preschoolers permutations of Shem Havayah and Shem Ehiyeh. But what are we to do in a ibur (leap) year when there are 13 months?! Specifically, what kavanah (intention) should one meditate on during the Musaf prayer of the Rosh Chodesh of the Second Adar, such as today? The answer may surprise you – all of them! According to the Arizal, the second month of Adar does not have its own permutation (naturally, there are only twelve). Second Adar is under the influence of all of the permutation of these Divine Names. In the language of quantum mechanics, we would say that the "spiritual gas utility boston state" of the Second Adar (i.e., the permutations of letters of YHWH and AHYH influencing that month) is in a superposition of all permutations corresponding to the other twelve months.

I now understand why people need to shout out commentary during movies.
But, contrary to appearances, limiting access because copyright enables copyrighted works to be sold at prices in excess of marginal cost (the cost of one more copy) is not the main problem created by the Sonny Bono Act. Very few works of art, literature, or entertainment retain significant value 50 or 70 years after the death of their author. As Lessig's brief in the Supreme Court pointed out, the problem for people like Eldred who want to publish old works (works that would have entered the public domain by now were it not for the Act) is transaction costs, not license fees: the costs of locating and negotiating with the current copyright owner. Those costs may well exceed the modest commercial returns from publishing a public domain work (which anyone can copy). The beauty of the old (pre-1976) copyright system, with its requirement of renewal beyond a shortish initial term (like 28 years), was that most copyrights, lacking commercial value by the end of their initial term, were not renewed, and so fell into the public domain, and so licensing costs fell to zero.
The Keyes candidacy also smacks of tokenism. The candidate routinely denounces affirmative action as a form of racial discrimination. But what other than racial discrimination can explain the Illinois Republican Party's decision to shortlist two blacks for the Illinois slot — and eventually to choose Mr Keyes? He brings no powerful backers or deep pockets, and was thrashed in his two runs for the Senate in Maryland.
And while you're at it: why yes, Chicago is "America's best run city".
The FT has a fine article explaining the connection.
They also offered a positive review (sub. req.) of Michael Walzer's latest book, Arguing About War. Walzer is co-editor of Dissent and author of Just and Unjust Wars. The struggle against terrorism and the advent of humanitarian intervention make Walzer an increasingly valuable source of insight into the just conduct of these actions. In addition, all should read his "Can There Be A Decent Left?", critiquing of the reactions of the political left following the September 11 attacks; his "The Four Wars of Israel / Palestine" is also worthwhile.

It isn't a secret that there currently doesn't exist a good general halachic guidebook in english, suitable for beginners in halachic jewish observance, converts, and those simple lacking the language skills to access sources in hebrew. "Good" here means clearly written, straightforwardly presented/structured, level-headed, fairly lenient, and offering enough background to the halachot so that they can be understood as part of a meaningful system, but without excess hashkafic commentary. The current options all miss on more than one of these requirements, stranding many without a good reference source from which to learn and get answers to questions as they come up. Leaving these individuals to seek guidance from the available english language sources and their peers opens them to the influence of those who would make observance more difficult than it already is for someone starting out (or, speaking for myself, someone who's been at it for a few years now).
What to do? Well, thinking back to my time at Hamivtar, I recall our Rosh Kollel Rav Reich praising Rav Chaim David HaLevi's קש''ע מקור חיים (Kitzur Shulchan Aruch Makor Chaim) for having many of these qualities. See here for a bio. While I'm not intimately familiar with מקור חיים myself, by all accounts it appears to be the only suitable book that might serve as the source for a translation into english.
Translating מקור חיים would be a huge job, but it occurred to me it might be made doable through the use of a wiki. Using a wiki would allow anyone to contribute to a public, web-based translation. Potentially, people or groups could make the project part of their regular learning, moving the translation along quite quickly.
Currently I'm just mulling over the idea of this project, and I'm looking for input on how it might be accomplished. Obviously, the first thing to sort out is the copyright status of מקור חיים. If anyone knows anything about Israeli copyright law (or knows someone who knows) or knows someone in Israel who might be able to look into it, that would be a huge help in getting a translation project off the ground (or finding out if it's even possible). Rav HaLevi died not that long ago, so it is possible that מקור חיים entered the public domain then or the copyright may have been extended. Even if it remains under copyright, we might be able to secure permission as an open access, not for profit profit project.
Beyond that, I foresee the need to put together an editorial board to oversee the project, establish translation guidelines, and monitor/edit submissions. Of course, somewhere must be found to host the wiki, and someone to act as admin for it.
Presently I'm trying to complete two papers left over from last fall semester before this fall semester starts: one on F.P. Ramsey and the Frege-Geach problem, and one on the compatibility of minimalism about truth, minimalism about truth aptitude, and expressivism in ethics. The former has blown up on me once (last winter) and had a near meltdown recently. The latter is a big job and, given that I'm making progress at a crawl, I doubt I'll be meeting my goal to finish it before September.
The problem is, as always, that having already had my bright idea, I am quite content with myself at that: I don't feel any great need to write it up. (When the bright idea turns out to be not so bright after all, as in the Ramsey paper of last winter, I go from unmotivated to disillusioned.) This grad school thing isn't going to work very well if I don't get beyond that.
Philosophy aside, big changes are afoot for my apartment: current flatmate, Mark, is soon off to do a Ph.D. in computer science at Penn; new flatmate, Mike, is coming to NYC to make a rabbi of himself at YCT. We're still looking for a third to share the big room with Mike and lower my share of the monthly rent. I think we have a promising prospect and should know for certain by the end of the week. In any case, I intend the place to remain all poshed out whoever moves in.
Beyond all that, coming back to New York only to be cooped up in my apartment trying to do work after spending a month in Chicago with sun and lake views (thanks to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and my mom) has induced serious bicycle cravings. Please may my dad's old apartment get sold soon so I'll have the money for it... and an iBook. I'm convinced they'd make for a healthier, happier, and more productive me. If the iPod could do it, why can't they?

At a time when Hollywood stars are lining up to support one Democrat agenda item after another, one prominent actor has decided to go up against the grain and give voice to alternative positions.
Bruce Willis is speaking out on two issues that so-called progressives have been championing: taxes and gun control.
It is a risky proposition to go up against the Hollywood left, but Willis is one of the major power players in Tinseltown, having grossed more than two and a half billion dollars at the box office.
While in Paris, France, on a promotion tour for his latest release, "A Good Day to Die Hard," Willis was honored with France's highest culture award. He used the opportunity to express his opposition to the current French tax policy.
The action hero was awarded the Commander of the Order of Arts and Letters designation for his contribution to cinema. However, The Associated Press reported that the star of the "Die Hard" franchise also used the occasion to reveal the fact that he rejects President Francois Hollande's plan to tax the richest individuals at a 75 percent rate.
Willis also hoped aloud that he would be able to express his dissatisfaction regarding the issue if he lived in France.
The tax policy with which Willis differs is same one that prompted actor Gerard Depardieu to leave his native country.
The actor has become a sort of reluctant hero to a sizable number of Americans who deeply care about their Second Amendment rights. Willis appeared to be channeling his famous character in a recent revelation to The Associated Press, when he indicated his opposition to proposed gun control legislation.
"I think that you can't start to pick apart anything out of the Bill of Rights without thinking that it's all going to become undone," he said.
The actor spoke of a potential erosion of individual rights.
"If you take one out or change one law, then why wouldn't they take all your rights away from you?" Willis asked.
He rejected the idea that gun control laws or other legislative approaches would be able to prevent mass shootings such as the one that took place in Sandy Hook, Conn.
Willis's views stand in sharp contrast to fellow action star Sylvester Stallone, who was a supporter of the 1994 effort to ban assault weapons and has expressed support for the new version that is being introduced by U.S. senator from California, Dianne Feinstein.
"I know people get [upset] and go, 'They're going to take away the assault weapon.' Who . . . needs an assault weapon? Like really, unless you're carrying out an assault . . . You can't hunt with it . . . Who's going to attack your house, a [expletive] army?" Stallone, whose latest film is titled "Bullet to the Head," said to The Associated Press.
Willis is actually a longtime defender of the Second Amendment. The views he recently expressed are consistent with what he had told USA Today about gun rights back in 2000.
Although Republicans are likely to be heartened by Willis's comments on taxes and guns, the Hollywood star undoubtedly understands the consequences within the entertainment industry of being tagged with a GOP label.

Faith, Optimism and Experience Give Hope for Peace.
Jehan Sedat's book presents a lucid-readable account of the Western world, the Islamic world and the peace that she believes can exist between the two. The author bases this hope not only on faith and optimism but also on experience. All of these much needed qualities shine through the text. She was the wife of Anwar Sadat, the president of Egypt who signed a historic treaty with Israel. Jehan saw first-hand how compassion and dedication can bring forward a seemingly impossible end result. Her perspective as both Muslim woman and resident of the United States make this a book a must read.

A recent study conducted by confused.com using Ofsted data, calculates just how much, on average, it will cost you to live within areas of the most sought-after schools.
School admission rules are mainly based on location – your child needs to live in the catchment area to stand a chance at being accepted. However, England faces a problem where the number of school pupils outstrips the number of places available, meaning the school catchment crisis is more prevalent than ever2.
On the other hand, the research also reveals that in London you could be paying up to £1.7 million just to be accepted into the best schools locally3.
A spokesperson for Confused.com says: "Buying a home near a good school is something parents start thinking about years before the time comes.
But what they might not realise is how much this is going to cost them. We found that those looking to move near a school with an 'Outstanding' Ofsted rating could be paying almost £40,000 more than those rated 'Good', on average.
The full Catchment Crisis study can be found here.

Halle Bailey will be belting out tunes under the sea very soon.
The singer, who is one half of the musical duo, "Chloe X Halle," has just been cast as Ariel in Disney's upcoming live-action movie of "The Little Mermaid."
Bailey took to Twitter to say it was a "dream come true."
"After an extensive search, it was abundantly clear that Halle possesses that rare combination of spirit, heart, youth, innocence, and substance — plus a glorious singing voice — all intrinsic qualities necessary to play this iconic role," director Rob Marshall said in a statement.
The film, produced by John DeLuca, Marc Platt and Lin-Manuel Miranda, will feature the iconic songs from the 1989 animated classic by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman, as well as new songs by Menken and Miranda.
Melissa McCarthy has reportedly been cast as the villain, Ursula.
Shooting is expected to get underway sometime in 2020.

NATIONAL EXPORT STRATEGY NEXT MONTH
The much awaited National Export Strategy (NES) to make Sri Lanka an export hub and drive exports to the next level will be launched next month, sources from the Export Development Board (EDB), the apex body for export development said.The NES, a long felt need for the country had been in the back burner far too long. However stakeholders of the national strategy said it is better late than never as the country desperately needs a sound roadmap to remain in a highly competitive global market.
A national strategy which focuses on competitiveness and product diversification through innovation and strengthening of emerging export sectors had been in the pipeline for several years. And never saw the light of day.The strategic vision is to make 'Sri Lanka – An Export Hub' driven by innovation and investment. Its objectives are to have a business-enabling, predictable and transparent policy and regulatory framework that supports exports, drives export diversification through innovation and the strengthening of emerging export sectors, strengthen exporters' market-entry and compliance capacities and become an efficient trade and logistics hub to facilitate exports.
The strategy will focus on sectors such as Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT/BPM), wellness tourism, spices and concentrates, boating, processed food and beverages, electrical and electronic components. Trade support functions will comprise trade information and promotion, national quality infrastructure, innovation, R&D and logistics.Total exports of merchandise and services in the first two months this year increased to US$ 2499.87 million compared to US$ 2324.67 million recorded during the corresponding period last year.
Merchandise exports increased to US$ 1830.63 million compared to $ 1704.67 million in the first two months last year. Exports of apparels, tea, rubber and rubber based products, engineering products, diamond, gem and jewellery, food and beverages, wood and leather products recorded a growth in the first two months this year as against the same period in 2017.Service exports too grew from US$ 620 million to US$ 669.24 million in the first two months this year.
However, Sri Lanka's trade deficit expanded during the first month this year due to the increase in exports. The trade deficit expanded to US$ 9.6 billion last year from $ 8.9 billion in the previous year. Exports increased to US$ 11.4 billion in 2017 while imports increased to US$ 21 billion in the previous year.

Mugshots.com Writing Staff. Howard County, MD – David Watson is wanted by the Howard County Police in Maryland. He's been convicted of attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and sentenced to over 100 years in prison, but he escaped on the morning of April 28, 2017 as he was being transported to a mental health facility.
The U.S. Marshals Service has taking over the lead in the manhunt for Watson. They are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to his capture.
At the time of his escape, he was accompanied by two detention center guards. As he exited the transport van, he reportedly shoved one of the guards and fled into nearby woods. Investigators are trying to determine how he got out of his handcuffs and leg shackles which were found in the woods.
Investigators have said that so far there's no indication that he received any help in making his escape. They also said that they have no clues as to his whereabouts, so they are asking for the public's help in locating him.
Watson is described as a 28-year old white male with brown hair and hazel eyes. He has a tattoo between his eyebrows and one on his cheekbone below his right eye.
Authorities warn that he should be Considered Armed and Dangerous. Do not attempt to capture him if spotted. If you spot him or have any information about David Watson or his whereabouts, you are urged to contact the U.S. Marshals Service at 202-307-9100 or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.

One person was killed and 12 others seriously injured Wednesday in Peru as police opened fire on a group of farmers protesting against Southern Copper's $1.4 billion Tia Maria copper project.
The victim, identified as 61-year-old Victoriano Huayta, died at the local hospital after receiving several bullet fragments in the lower abdomen, local paper El Popular reports.
For years farmers, anti-mining activists and local leaders have opposed the project, which they argue will pollute key waterways for Arequipa, the southern state where the Tia Maria mine will be built.
In response, Southern Copper, one of the world's biggest producers, has reworked its project several times to gain approval. The goal was finally reached in August 2014, with the Peruvian government declaring the miner's EIA complied with all the demands brought forward by locals and environmentalists.
Fresh demonstrations at the end of March pushed Southern Copper's spokesman in Peru, Julio Morriberon, declare the company was cancelling the project, as it has grown tired of ongoing "anti-mining terrorism" in the area.
Chief Executive Officer Oscar Gonzalez Rocha, however, promptly dismissed such comments, telling Bloomberg the company would use "its greatest efforts" to advance the debated project.
The protests against Tia Maria echo other fights between anti-mining groups, farmers and mining companies over the last few years over who gets to use precious water supplies in bone-dry areas of Peru.
Southern Copper estimates that Tia Maria will produce 120,000 tons of copper cathodes a year, for an estimated 20-year lifespan.
Peru's government forecasts the country will produce 2.8 million tons of copper a year by 2016, about double its current production as a number of new projects come on stream.
AREQUIPA, PERU – Opponents of Southern Copper Corp's proposed $1.4 billion Tia Maria mine in Peru expanded their month-long protests against the project on Wednesday with rallies in several towns in the region.
Demonstrators called on the government to cancel the copper project, stalled since protests turned violent in 2011, over fears it will pollute nearby agricultural valleys.
The protests on Wednesday were scattered throughout Peru's southern region of Arequipa, where Southern Copper hopes to start building Tia Maria this year.
The government approved the project's revised environmental impact study last year and a construction permit is pending.
But renewed demonstrations have threatened to further delay the project, which is expected to add 120,000 tonnes of copper to the company's annual output.
Unions, university students and local political groups marched in the regional capital of Arequipa on Wednesday while farmers rallied in surrounding valleys.
"Yes to agriculture! No to mining!" protesters chanted in the main square of the city Arequipa.
Organizers said the demonstrations were the biggest so far, with tens of thousands turning out across the region.
About 800 marched against Tia Maria midday in downtown Arequipa, according to a Reuters witness.
Clashes between demonstrators and police broke out in the Valley of Tambo where the latest round of protests kicked off a month ago, said Jesus Cornejo, the head of the local farmers' group and a chief opponent.
But talks earlier this week between his government and project opponents, including four local mayors, yielded no agreement.
Southern Copper, controlled by Grupo Mexico, made several revisions to its first environmental impact study to allay those concerns, including agreeing to build a desalinization plant.
The company operates two other mines in the region, Cuajone and Toquepala.
Past mining pollution and poor communication of the technical aspects of Tia Maria have fostered mistrust in local communities, said Manuel Ricardo Amat, the Arequipa head of the country's ombudsman office.
Conflicts over mining projects in Peru, the world's third-biggest copper producer, have held up billions in potential investments in the past decade.
LIMA, Peru—Widespread protests in Peru's southern province of Arequipa against a proposed copper mine on Wednesday left one dead and many more wounded, police said, as opponents say they will keep protesting until the mine project is canceled.
A coalition of farmers, anti-mining activists and local politicians want Southern Copper Corp. to cancel the $1.4 billion Tia Maria copper project, saying it will harm farming by using water and creating dust in a nearby valley known as Valle de Tambo.
The National Police said late Wednesday that Victoriano Huayna Mina, 61, died of an injury to his right leg but said it wasn't caused by the police.
Thousands of people marched and blocked roads Wednesday as part of a month-long series of protests in the southern province. Police used tear gas and rubber bullets to disperse the crowds.
"The protests are going to continue and things are going to get worse with this death," Jose Ramos Carrera, mayor of the town of Punto de Bombón, said in a telephone interview on Thursday.
"There is no way the mining company has the permission from the local communities for a mine," he added.
Interior Minister José Luis Pérez Guadalupe said in a statement that the police had orders to avoid using any lethal force against the protesters.
The government of President Ollanta Humala has supported the project, sending thousands of police officers to keep order. Newspaper El Comercio said Thursday the government is considering declaring a state of emergency in the areas around the conflict.
Southern Copper plans to dig out 120,000 metric tons of copper a year from mid-2017 once a license for construction is granted by the government. The company says it plans to use desalinated water from the ocean and that the mining won't cause any dust that would harm crops.
The long-stalled project was originally put on hold in 2011 after protests then led to three deaths. The company reworked its environmental impact study, or EIA, and the government approved that study last year. Southern Copper unofficially announced a halt to the project recently then went back on that and said it would continue.
Mexico's Grupo Mexico is the majority owner of Southern Copper.
Other disputes have caused delays in mining projects in recent years in Peru, most notably the $5.0 billion copper and gold mine project known as Minas Conga, majority owned by Denver-based Newmont Mining Corp. Most work there was suspended in 2011.
Peru is one of the world's largest producers of gold, silver, copper, zinc and other minerals.
