AKA, "The Comic Where Batman Doesn't Know How To Use Similes"
Detective Comics, Vol. 1: Faces of Death
I'm glad I waited to read Tony Daniel's Detective Comics before writing up a full review of the Batman books, because initially I was going to include a section on some of the awkward dialogue found in Peter Tomasi's over-earnest but generally entertaining Batman & Robin. But then I got through Daniels' opening run, and…hoo-boy.
Let's start with the positive. I'm always impressed by how much Daniels strives to improve his art. Since he debuted in the mid-90's, he's worked steadily, first at Image and then at DC, and you can really see him taking on different influences and trying to incorporate them into his own style. Here, he's developed a hybrid of Frank Miller, Neil Adams and Jim Lee, and it mostly works (even though, as with most of the New 52, he's done no favors by the overly busy costume redesign).
But as a writer, he's far less adept. Clearly, he's trying to channel both the tough-guy Miller narration AND the goofy thrills of Grant Morrison's "All versions of Batman are valid" interpretation, but he lacks the requisite skill and it ends up coming off like bad karaoke.
For instance, he starts off much like Morrison did – mutilating the Joker. But for Morrison, it was part of his concept of the Joker as a guy constantly reinventing himself. Here it just comes off as "Something gross we can kick off the new book with." (This doesn't even pay off in Detective Comics, by the way – it's reserved for the big moment in Snyder and Capullo's superior Batman next month.)
It goes on in this ridiculous haphazard fashion, introducing a new villain called the Dollmaker who basically just skins people and makes masks that he sticks onto other mutilated people who are crazy and violent and for some random reason, super-strong. It's a bad cover version of Morrison's Professor Pyg, basically, substituting the psychedelic fairy-tale vibe of his Batman & Robin run with bland grotesquery.
Then there's the second arc, where Batman goes to Penguin's new island casino/resort off the coast of Gotham – where Penguin is just strolling about with his three hot-lady bodyguards, as well as a bunch of comical-looking new villains with names like The Gas Man and Mr. Combustible, who would be totally at home on the 60's TV show, but are quickly ignored.
Throughout this entire run, Daniels basically takes for granted that the audience knows what to expect in a Batman comic, so he doesn't do any of the legwork. His Batman is alternately an idiot (He crashes into so many rooms yell-asking, "WHERE IS SHE?" and "WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM!" and "WHY?" that you wonder if "Shout Questions" should really be the primary tool in the World's Greatest Detective's toolbox), or goddamned omniscient, knowing things without giving the reader ANY INDICATION as to how he's connected certain dots.
There are also a number of loose threads that I imagine will be picked up again, but they're never capped off in any satisfying way, to let readers KNOW the story's not done:
The Joker face thing.
Dollmaker gets helicoptered away by the Gotham Police, and there's never another mention of it.
We're introduced to Hugo Strange's son in a backup that's not relevant to anything (and considering this is supposed to be for brand-new readers, exactly how would the concluding line, "I will make you what you were meant to be. The son of HUGO STRANGE" be met with anything other than, "OK, so?").
There's a girl who may or may not be Dollmaker's cousin who – completely inexplicably – is strong enough to punch the heads clean off of cops' necks.
A new character, Snakeskin, with the ability to change his face, is introduced with all the enthusiasm of, "Yeah, you know Clayface? He's like Clayface. Anyway…"
Who is also hooking up with a jujitzu expert/thief/assassin who is also the long-lost twin sister of Bruce Wayne's new nosy-reporter-girlfriend, who is also the secret daughter of the mayor, who is vaguely corrupt.
That last point is a plotline that's thrown up out of nowhere, and with no winking sense of how silly that is, no "Hey, we're just having fun here, folks." Daniels actually thinks you can just write that into a comic and have it be taken seriously.
(Another fine example of the level of craft on display here: A booby-trapped gun blows up in Snakeskin's hand. The next panel, he is lying on the floor, covered in blood and MISSING THAT ARM. The end of the issue, he shows up to kill Chase. He pulls out a knife with that very arm. There is NO COMMENT ON THIS. And this can't be chalked up to the artist and writer not communicating properly. They're the SAME GUY.)
To top it all off though, there's the dialogue. The groaners start on the first page (as you'll see), but I wanted to give Daniels the benefit of the doubt: It's just the first issue, he's still finding the tone of the book, etc.
By issue seven I had to check on Wikipedia to make sure English was his first language.
So without further ado, the most awkward dialogue found in Tony Daniels' Detective Comics:
ARC ONE
Batman is narrating about the Joker: "His modus operandi changes with the wind…and it's been windy in Gotham City." I see. It's going to be one of THOSE Batman books.
"The fire is spreading like a book of matches." That is nice first attempt at a simile, Batman, but maybe keep trying.
Batman: I've ALWAYS been in Gotham. I AM Gotham.
Gordon: And Gotham is a HELL HOLE. Always has been. Always will be.
Batman: Like HELL it will.
Yes, Batman. Like HELL it will be a HELL HOLE. Do you even listen to yourself?
Following sex:
Charlotte Rivers: Mmm. This worked out wonderfully. This might have to be my new tactic with you.
Bruce Wayne: Seeing that you're clever as a fox, I can see that working.
Narration: "How can a person be practically untraceable one night and act like a bull in the proverbial china shop the next?"
Um, Batman? The bull is ALSO proverbial. "The PROVERBIAL bull in the china shop." It's like a package deal. Or, you don't even need to mention proverbs at all, since you already indicated with the words "like a…" that you weren't being literal. I know, you're still trying to master similes, I won't pressure you.
Narration: "The cables…they're magnetically controlled! I can't believe it…they're MY design! The bad news is that Dollmaker must have a connection inside WayneCorp. The good news is that my demagnetizer is all I need to free myself."
Let's just stop here and point out three things. 1) This "WayneCorp connection" is never brought up again; 2) Apparently Bruce Wayne's just designing magnetic cables at work and nobody's curious about this? And 3) He just carries around a demagnetizer. I realize for Batman the victory is in the preparation, but that is about two steps away from the Bat-shark-repellent.
"The last time I met a police chopper, it was firing bullets at me. Tonight, it's a sight for sore eyes." Batman's presumably referring to the gunship that was shooting at him at the start of Justice League 1, which took place five years before the events of this comic. Apparently Batman has not seen a police helicopter in 5 years. That's a little weird.
ARC 2:
Catwoman: This is Gotham City. Not Moscow. There's an order here. A PECKING one. And you are worms that get pecked from dirt.
You know you're Catwoman, not Bird-lady, right?
Batman's narration (staring at a bathtub filled with red water): "When I see it, my hair stands on end. Looks like someone was taking a bath. A BLOODBATH."
If you read that line and imagined David Caruso putting on sunglasses while saying it, you're not alone.
Penguin: Gentlemen, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship! Wah-wah! One that's as impenetrable as my steel vault! Wah!
Yes, that is how friendships are usually described. Why, just the other day I was telling someone how Braak and I have an impenetrable friendship.
Batman: That'll keep you busy for a while.
Alfred: I'm afraid you've already given me enough to stay occupied…especially considering that "vampire" case file you have me investigating.
Batman: Those missing train passengers are our top priority, Alfred. There was so much BLOOD. (Hops off boat, swings away.)
It took me four or five readings of this exchange before I remembered Batman had also appeared that same month in I, Vampire. But until I realized that, this was BAFFLING. Had I missed a key plot point? What train? Were there pages missing? And…this is your TOP priority? You've got your butler doing the legwork on it. You're hopping off to yell at the Penguin for a while on an unrelated case. I'd say it's A priority. Not THE priority.
Actual sound effects during Charlotte's stabbing: THAK THAK THAK THAK
Actual sound effects during Batman's subsequent punching of the stabber: BASH BASH BASH BASH BASH
Chase: I will never be anyone's victim. No one will have a say in my destiny except me. No one will ever hurt me –
Batman: You mean like your father? MAYOR HADY?
Chase: You – you don't know what you're talking about!
Batman: Twins separated at birth. I know the whole sordid tale.
Aaaand, we must stop again. Batman may know the whole sordid tale (and hey, real nice, Judgey McGee), but we the audience do not. In fact, over the course of seven issues of Bruce Wayne having a casual dating thing with Charlotte Rivers, there's been LITERALLY no indication that she was the daughter of the mayor (who we have seen for exactly two pages in an unrelated scene). Moreover, Charlotte Rivers does not bear any particular resemblance to Jill Chase – neither of whom have the last name Hady, you may have noticed – so it's not like we would've connected "twin sisters separated at birth." Batman just throws that tidbit out there, like, "Oh, I'm sorry readers, you didn't know about that? My bad, I can't be bothered to keep you guys up on every little thing."
NEXT UP: A review of those other Bat-books I completely forgot about as soon as I realized how bad this one was going to get.

Israel as a Gift of the Arabs by Shail Mayaram
Shail Mayaram is Senior Fellow with the Centre for Developing Societies (CSDS), New Delhi. In the course of her stay in Israel as a visiting professor, Shail Mayaram wrote a series of letters to her friends and family that have found home in Israel as a Gift of the Arabs.
Like most people from the Indian sub-continent, Shail does not carry the baggage of anti-semitism; it was not something we grew up with, and most of us became aware of anti-semitism only when we studied about Hitler, the World Wars, and the pogroms against the Jews in history lessons. Much has been written on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but this book is refreshing because it is not a European or American narrative. While Shail was in Israel, there was a call for an international boycott of Israeli academic institutions. Her Israeli colleagues were of the opinion that it is an easier boycott to call for – Europeans cannot boycott commercial transactions with Israel because the latter controls much of their software production. The hypocrisy at many levels is what the book captures very well. It also reflects the bewilderment that most Indians and others in the sub-continent feel on this conflict – that the Europeans shunted out the Jews to the Middle east because, despite their guilt over the Holocaust, they would not let a Jewish state exist in Christian dominated Europe. (Likewise for Islam in the Bosnia conflict). Indians love Israel for a number of reasons – their ability to take quick, hard decisions, and the way they handle their security and surveillance; it is of no small consequence that India is the largest market for Israeli arms and weapons, and Israel is the second largest defense supplier to India (after Russia).
When Shail accepted the Visiting Chair, she viewed it as a opportunity to open up a discussion with Jewish and Palestinian students on ways in which conflicting communities have lived together in urban contexts with mutual peace. The author used the narratives of the Hindu-Muslim conflicts in India to make this intervention.Through her interactions with her Israeli and Palestinian hosts and friends, Shail tries to find answers to these questions –
1. What has gone wrong with this society?
2. Why is there so much ambivalence with regard to nationalism?
Shail witnesses Arab weddings, the harvest festival of Shavout and many other rituals typical to the region; in the conflict zones, she also met with people on both sides who want an end to the fight and a resolution that will enable their children to grow up in a peaceful environment. She found fear and fatigue on both sides.
The book is beautiful at many levels. Shail marvels at the landscape of Israel and its geographical beauty and is delighted at being near the sea at all times, and of traversing the whole country in less than three hours. Among all the delicious foods she eats, she loves the various Hummus that her friends make her try! She discovers how the Israeli diet that was initially dominated by potatoes, schnitzels and meats now has many food cultures. I shared her awe at seeing the venerable Jerusalem (where each door has a history), Ramallah, the Sea of Galilee, Bethlehem and Tabgha's Benedictine monastery and church where Jesus broke the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish to serve the multitude. The book has lovely photographs that capture Israel in all its beauty!
When new nations are formed, there is such a note of optimism in them -that was true of both Pakistan and Israel,formed at the same time, thanks to British imperialism. The author notes how things have changed – the platonic vision of shared community of property and children that gave rise to Kibbutz has changed, as has the secular leadership that is giving way to religious nationalism. She notes the changes in the Bedouin tribes, and the subtle hierarchy based on the ethnicity of the Jews who came to Israel. It is interesting how nationalism provides an 'official' version of accounts everywhere. In India the official line was that the Kashmiri Pandits left Kashmir on their own accord, and the Israeli version states that rich Arabs left Jerusalem on their own volition. The truth lies somewhere in the middle.
Anti-Semitism is often invoked to justify Israeli impunity,but Arabs and Turks have not been participants in this history of racial hatred till modern times, and have, instead, demonstrated substantial hospitality to the Jews.
"Mythically Jews believe that this is the Promised Land, the Holy Land promised to them by God. It would not, however, have been possible to fulfil God's promise had it not been for a series of contingencies, the most prominent being Arab land sales to Jews or the fact that Arabs fled their homes in 1948. So Israel is a gift of theArabs, however reluctant, unwilling, resistant and violent were theresponses it evoked from the Palestinian inhabitants of this land.Israel is a gift also because the western nations, despite their
great guilt for the Holocaust, would never have granted a Jewish state within their sovereign territories."
The book does not prescribe any solutions, except to suggest shared common history of the Jews and Arabs will result in reciprocity of the gift of land that will bring peace to the beleaguered region.
A definite read….

The best way to travel from Ahmedabad to Sydney is to board a connecting flight. It may take up to 18 hours to reach Ahmedabad to Sydney by Air india. Although there are no direct flights, connecting flights operate between these two cities, while there is a complete lack of roadways and railways, as Australia is an island country. Ahmedabad to Sydney flights is the best and fastest way to reach in the easiest manner.
Located on the city outskirts, people can travel from the Sydney International Airport (SYD) to the city centre via bus and railway, as well as hired and self-driven cars.
There are flights from Ahmedabad to Sydney, Australia, which are connecting and have layovers at Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok. The Ahmedabad to Sydney flight durations has the fastest time of 15 hours and 55 minutes. Given the Ahmedabad to Sydney distance of 10431 Kilometres, the time is negligible.
Singapore Airlines, Jet Airways, Thai Airlines, and Air India are some of the major airlines.

Q: subset of no-5 multiples
a naive approach is to take out all 5 multiples which has 100 of them - but it's wrong. What cases would save more numbers than taking out the 5 multiples? Thanks!

A: Hint:  Note that you have taken out $5, 25,\ $and $125$, so you can afford to put $25$ back in.

That year went quickly. I didn't mean to abandon anybody, have always said that I'd be clear about the end of this blog when the time came, but then the end came and went and I hardly noticed. I only noticed that I was interested in other things, and that it felt good to let myself be pulled along by the current.
A year ago September, September of 2017, I started work on a proposal for a new book. I had started reading again, more than just my perfunctory fifteen minutes before sleep. Hearing different voices and other people's thoughts in my head, I started to notice the way they excited me, energized me, made me want to do my own work. So, starting in September of that year, I devoted one of my workdays each week to a new book, a new project. I was embarrassed to tell people that it was another memoir. How mortifying!, how presumptuous!, working on a third memoir and I was only 39. My life has been very ordinary and continues to be: I'm a white woman who comes from and lives with privilege. I try to keep this in my sights, because it's more important now than ever. I also try to put my head down and shut up and do the work, because the work, the act of writing, is worth it, and I am very lucky to do it. It took eight months, but in May, the proposal was ready, and I was elated to see it land at Abrams Press, where it will be published in 2020. As soon as I finish writing it.
This book is not about food! People tell me this is risky? If this is what danger looks like, I am now someone who lives for it. This book is a story about sexuality, identity, and the many ways we make the thing we call family. I don't think I've ever wanted so much to write any single thing, not the way I want to write this book. I am having to learn how to write it as I go along, without the handy crutch that food and recipes had become for me. Sitting at my desk, on a good day at least, I can almost feel the neurons stretch and zing and ping, reach across a synapse, build a new bridge, connect places that weren't connected.
I turned forty two months ago, and to celebrate, Ash and I went to Greece, a trip we started planning deep in last winter. I'd wanted to go for years, ever since my friends Christophe and Gemma first went and shared some photos from their trip online. We spent most of our time on the island of Milos, in the western Cyclades, and a little time on Sifnos, too, which is known for its pottery traditions. I quietly set myself a goal of getting more comfortable swimming in open water — you will note that this goal was very open-ended; "getting more comfortable" will never be measured by any yardstick — and little by little, I chipped away at it. Metaphors! I will leave this one here for you.
June is six and is thriving. I feel less like writing about her online, mindful of the fact that she's going to live in this online world one day and should get to speak for herself. I think it's okay, though, to mention that she is possibly the world's number one fan of beans and greens, refuses raw tomatoes and a wide variety of vegetables, lives for meat meat MEAT, and shares my passion for Nerds and sour gummies. Brandon gave me an Instant Pot for my birthday. I checked out Dinner in an Instant from the library, and June, thumbing through it, promptly requested Garlicky Cuban Pork. (Hot tip: do degrease the juices after cooking, preferably with a fat separator.) Ash has also made a bang-up Shrimp Scampi from the same book. We are now Instant Pot believers. If this blog were still thriving, and if it had stayed solely about food, it would probably become one of those Instant Pot blogs.
June took the three photos that follow, using the old Pentax K1000 camera I bought myself in 2008 and film that was left in my parents' freezer after my dad died in 2002. She calls it her camera now, and these shots are from her second-ever roll. Burg would be proud. Atta girl.
What a pleasure this is. I'd almost forgotten. Thank you.
P.S. Crap, totally forgot: I am teaching a fair amount now! Currently don't have much scheduled so that I can focus on writing, but I will be teaching a four-day workshop on the craft of food memoir next May, in Santa Fe, New Mexico. A dream!

One day I opened the lid of the washing machine after the cycle had completed. There was a sudden emergency and I had to run off and rescue my husband when his car broke down. When I returned the clothes felt half as wet and only took minutes to dry. So I decided to buy some old time wooden clothes dryers and hang the clothes just till they were slightly damp. At that point I put them in the dryer. At the end of the month I saved at least $50.00 off the price of my normal electric. It was during the summer months and the average temp was about the same as the previous month. We spent the same amount of time home that month and used our air conditioning as usual, but my bill was $50 less. Doesn't sound like much but $600 dollars a year can help pay the home taxes. I try to do a load big enough of darks or lights so as not to waste water or the wash cycle electric. Hanging outside might be better but I physically can't lug the baskets out the door. You should pick a window area to stand the dryers. Unless your expecting company, who cares. you don't have to hang the clothes in any particular way. They should still be slightly damp when you put them in the dryer. Which doesn't take long either unless they are bath towel and they come out of the last part of the dryer as good as usual.

Letters: Minor miracle at airport
Nov. 21, 2004 Updated: Aug. 14, 2011 12:51 a.m.
For approximately 10 years, a major project has been ongoing in Houston, largely below the radar of most of us. That project is the massive $2 billion-plus renovation and expansion of Intercontinental Airport. In late January, this project will reach a major milestone with the opening of the new federal inspection facility. This facility is located between Terminals D and E and will house the immigration and customs services for all international flights.
I had an opportunity to tour this facility two weeks ago. It is a remarkable combination of stunning architecture and utilitarian functionality. The facility has been thoughtfully planned to minimize the time spent in clearing immigration and customs by bringing the latest technology and security process to bear on the problem. However, the building is simultaneously graced with sculpture, paintings and decorative glass throughout. The passageways are spacious, the ceilings vaulted and natural lighting abounds.
Rick Vacar, Eric Potts and their staff have pulled off a minor miracle by bringing this facility to fruition. The task was greatly complicated by the fact that it had to be built in the midst of IAH's incredibly busy operations. All Houstonians may take pride in this beautiful, new gateway to our city.

PUC answeres hot-line complaints
Regarding the Nov. 14 Business cover story, "PUC hot line not too hot on rate information / Consumer group `astonished' prices not easily available": Since funding for customer education has been cut by 94 percent in the past few years, we welcome media coverage about Texas Electric Choice. Because of these cuts, we find it more economical to provide as much information as possible on the Internet.
We also want to make the toll-free customer line as informative as possible. Your article pointed out some deficiencies in available pricing information. We have made these necessary corrections with the call center operator. Electric customers requesting pricing information can now expect to get a price comparison mailed to them.
As of this writing, residential customers can save up to 14 percent from Reliant's current "Price to Beat" rate by switching to another provider. As of July 1, about 16 percent, or more than 240,000 residential customers in the Houston area already have made the switch.
We want electric customers to know if they have any concerns about the toll-free line (1-866-797-4839) or the Web site at www.powerto-choose.org, then they should call the PUC directly at 1-888-782-8477 so we can correct any deficiencies.
All pricing information is supplied and updated by providers. The Public Utility Commission cannot recommend specific providers to customers. Texas law requires "that the education program shall be neutral and nonpromotional."
We urge Texas electric customers to take advantage of retail competition.

Where to spend cloning money
I find it ironic that five days after the Chronicle ran a much-needed, heartbreaking front-page article about the Bureau of Animal Regulation and Care's failure to find homes for the animals it briefly houses, it printed another front-page article about a company that will clone pets for $50,000. The idea that someone would spend thousands of dollars to have a replica of an animal companion rather than adopt one from a shelter is disgraceful.
A few weeks after my own beloved cat passed away in February, I went to a local shelter, spent less than $100, and adopted two 14-week-old kittens, who now live in a loving, safe home.
If you love animals and have $50,000 to spend, adopt a shelter animal and donate the remaining $49,900 to a trustworthy animal charity. People faced with the loss of a pet should consider the bigger picture -- science has no business creating copies when we can't even care for the animals nature provides.
SHANNON RASP
Same tired line about Paige
Former Houston Independent School District trustee and employee Cathy Mincberg, in her Nov. 18 letter ("Paige vs. gadflies"), promotes the "Rod Paige miracle" by defending supposed reforms in Houston's school system. She claims our students are "learning more today than ever." This is an unprovable assertion: The testing-obsessed school culture has moved us from TAAS to TAKS with no evidence of improvements. We have solid evidence, however, that district officials "sliced and diced" test scores, graduation rates and other academic data for their own, and HISD's political, goals. Mincberg espouses what is becoming a tired official line. Reciting that mantra doesn't make it gospel.

Credit doesn't go to DeLay
Regarding the Nov. 17 Rick Casey column, "DeLay helps get rail line on track": Give credit where credit is due, but don't give credit to Tom DeLay for solving the San Jacinto rail [issue].
Many, including myself, spent our money and time to fight the San Jacinto Rail proposed to be built just north of Clear Lake. Our efforts were rewarded by the City Council's action to challenge the proposal in court, and we won. Credit should go to those who fought this on the ground and to our City Council for standing by the citizens of Clear Lake and South Houston.
DeLay, on the other hand, did absolutely nothing to help his constituents. A delegation from Clear Lake was sent to meet with him early in the process and he refused to get involved. Now, two years later, he is given credit for solving the problem. Where was he when we needed him?

Global oil glut nearly over, says IEA
Crude oil falls from three-year high as Middle East tensions ease
Saudi Aramco eyes more India deals
Kuwait plans to increase gas output, says oil minister
Oil set to fall to around $60: analysts
Oil erases gains as traders shrug off rising Middle East tension
Saudi-Russia oil alliance likely to undercut OPEC
Experts say an expanded group that includes Russia means OPEC's sway in global oil is fading
Saudi Arabia hopes to bring Russia into the fold of an expanded club of global oil giants to sustain a stable market, leaving OPEC's role in question, analysts say.
The new union, spearheaded by Riyadh and Moscow, is expected to be larger than the 14-member OPEC oil cartel, which has dominated the global energy market for the past six decades.
But experts say an expanded group that includes Russia means OPEC's sway in global oil is fading, if not all but "dead".
In January, OPEC kingpin Saudi Arabia floated the idea of extending a cooperation agreement struck in late 2016 by 24 OPEC and non-OPEC producers to trim output and shore up prices.
Top Saudi officials, including Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and Energy Minister Khaled al-Faleh, have called for a long-term cooperation framework between oil producers.
The idea received strong support from several OPEC members, mainly the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait.
A Kremlin spokesman said last month that Russia and Saudi Arabia have been discussing a "wide range of options" on cooperation in the global oil market.
OPEC and non-OPEC countries will meet in Saudi Arabia's Jeddah on Friday to assess compliance with production cuts and to discuss potential long-term cooperation.
Producers have already been encouraged by the success of their broadened cooperation, which helped restore balance to the crude market, rebounding prices from as low as $26 a barrel to above $70 a barrel.
'A new chapter'
OPEC secretary general Mohammed Barkindo on Monday praised the cooperation agreement as a "great success" that has helped to overcome "the worst cycle in the history of oil".
Kuwaiti oil expert Kamel al-Harami said "it would have been difficult to achieve that success by OPEC alone".
He told AFP that at its root, the new agreement "basically looks like a Saudi-Russian alliance".
The deal, which cut output by 1.8 million barrels per day, has removed more than 300 million barrels of surplus oil and lowered extra crude stockpiles to just 50 million barrels.
Oil Minister of non-OPEC Oman, Mohammed al-Rumhi, told an oil conference in Kuwait on Monday that the secret of the deal's success was compliance with production cuts.
But he warned that "the game is not over yet," calling on producers to continue cooperating to maintain market conditions.
"The two largest suppliers of conventional oil in the world -- Saudi and Russia -- can work together to maintain stable prices or fight each other by increasing production to kill the market for shale oil producers, but at the same time kill themselves," said Jean-Francois Seznec, an oil expert at US Johns Hopkins University.
"The only logical and smart approach is to keep prices stable," he told AFP.
Oil prices collapsed in mid-2014 because oil producers, mainly Saudi Arabia, refused to cut production to maintain market shares against tough competition from US shale oil -- eventually resulting in a massive oil surplus.
The Saudis later reversed course, cutting deeper than their required quota to ensure the deal's success.
Barkindo described the Saudi-Russia alliance as a "new chapter" in the oil industry's history.
In the coming months, producers will look "to institutionalise this long-term framework" with inclusive and broad-based participation, he said.

Ash to Face Herbert West in Comic
Spooky Steve
0 (Add comment)
There's been a couple Army of Darkness mini-series hitting comic stores within this past year which really have been not all that great due to the fact that they just kind of rehash famous dialouge and situations from the Evil Dead trilogy and bring not many new ideas to the table (and this is coming from someone who would buy and cherish a can of tuna if it had the Army of Darkness logo printed on it), but hopefully things will start to improve for the AoD comics, as the following mini-series has recently been announced:
Army of Darkness vs. Re-Animator.
You read that? Read it again. Let it sink in. Yeeesssss.
That's right, Ash's latest adventure finds him face-to-face with none other than Dr. Herbert West himself! But don't take my word for it, read what Dynamite Entertainment (the comic's publisher) had to say about the book:
"Fans of the Lovecraft creation know that Herbert West is a scientist obsessed with cheating death. "He discovers a serum that can be injected into the brain of the recently deceased that brings them back to life. But these revived people are no longer our friends, relatives or loved ones. They're adrenaline-driven zombies! Even more unfortunate is the fact that West runs into Ash, The Chosen One, who has a well-earned disdain for the undead!"
Lovecraftian zombies and chainsaws and Ash and West and…AGH!!!! Just picture all the gore that will be oozing out of this comic when it hits stores in July!
And to add to the coolness, the first issue will have four different variant covers by various artists (not counting a "Super-Rare" cover by artist Bradshaw), all of which can be seen at the following link: http://www.newsarama.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=32086 .

National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA-1991)
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) series, formerly titled National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, is a major source of statistical information on the use of illicit drugs, alcohol, and tobacco and on mental health issues among members of the U.S. civilian, non-institutional population aged 12 or older. The survey tracks trends in specific substance use and mental illness measures and assesses the consequences of these conditions by examining mental and/or substance use disorders and treatment for these disorders.
Examples of uses of NSDUH data include the identification of groups at high risk for initiation of substance use and issues among those with co-occurring substance use disorders and mental illness.
NSDUH public-use data files are available for download in SAS, SPSS, STATA and ASCII formats, and online analysis with SDA. NSDUH restricted-use data files are available for online analysis with the R-DAS.
The NSDUH is sponsored by the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (formerly Office of Applied Studies), Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. For more information, visit the NSDUH website.
NSDUH State and Substate Estimates
Due to disclosure limitations for respondent confidentiality, a state variable is not included in public-release datasets. The data tables on SAMHSA's site and the interactive NSDUH State and Substate Estimates tools use the full non-restricted analytic file that includes the state variable.

NSDUH Questionnaire Details
The population of the NSDUH series is the general civilian population aged 12 and older in the United States. Questions include age at first use, as well as lifetime, annual, and past-month usage for the following drugs: alcohol, marijuana, cocaine (including crack), hallucinogens, heroin, inhalants, tobacco, pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives. The survey covers substance abuse treatment history and perceived need for treatment, and includes questions from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders that allow diagnostic criteria to be applied.
Respondents were also asked about personal and family income sources and amounts, health care access and coverage, illegal activities and arrest record, problems resulting from the use of drugs, perceptions of risks, and needle-sharing. Demographic data include gender, race, age, ethnicity, educational level, job status, income level, veteran status, household composition, and population density.
The questionnaire was significantly redesigned in 1994. The 1994 survey included for the first time a rural population supplement to allow separate estimates to be calculated for this population. Other modules have been added each year and retained in subsequent years: mental health and access to care (1994-B); risk/availability of drugs (1996); cigar smoking and new questions on marijuana and cocaine use (1997); question series asked only of respondents aged 12 to 17 (1997); questions on tobacco brand (1999); marijuana purchase questions (2001); prior marijuana and cigarette use, additional questions on drug treatment, adult mental health services, and social environment (2003); and adult and adolescent depression questions derived from the National Comorbidity Survey, Replication (NCS-R) and National Comorbidity Survey, Adolescent (NCS-A) (2004).
Survey administration and sample design were improved with the implementation of the 1999 survey, and additional improvements were made in 2002. Since 1999, the survey sample has employed a 50-state design with an independent, multistage area probability sample for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia. At this time, the collection mode of the survey changed from personal interviews and self-enumerated answer sheets to using computer-assisted personal interviews and audio computer-assisted self-interviews. In 2002, the survey's title was officially changed to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).
Since 2002, participants are given $30 for participating in the study. This resulted in an increase in participation rates from the years prior to 2002. Also, in 2002 and 2011, the new population data from the 2000 and 2010 decennial Censuses, respectively, became available for use in the sample weighting procedures. For these reasons, data gathered for 2002 and beyond cannot validly be compared to data prior to 2002.
NSDUH underwent a partial redesign in 2015, so there are several measures that "broke trends" in 2015, meaning that estimates from 2015 and later are no longer comparable to their 2014 and earlier counterparts. This also means that you cannot pool data across incomparable years. For affected measures, you will likely only be able to look at the 2002-2014 timeframe to pool enough years of comparable data to get a sufficient sample size at the county level. Measures that were not affected can be pooled through 2015. More information on the partial 2015 redesign and its effects on estimates is available here: https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/NSDUH-TrendBreak-2015.pdf
This series measures the prevalence and correlates of drug use in the United States. The surveys are designed to provide quarterly, as well as annual, estimates. Information is provided on the use of illicit drugs, alcohol, anabolic steroids, and tobacco among members of United States households aged 12 and older. Data are also provided on treatment for drug use and on illegal activities related to drug use. Questions include age at first use, as well as lifetime, annual, and past-month usage for the following drug classes: marijuana, inhalants, cocaine, hallucinogens, heroin, alcohol, tobacco, and nonmedical use of psychotherapeutics. Respondents were also asked about problems resulting from their use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, their perceptions of the risks involved, insurance coverage, and personal and family income sources and amounts. Demographic data include gender, race, ethnicity, educational level, job status, income level, household composition, and population density.
Universe:
The noninstitutionalized civilian population of the United States, aged 12 and older.
Data were collected by Research Triangle Institute, Research Triangle Park, NC, and prepared for release by National Opinion Research Center, Chicago, IL.
For selected variables, statistical imputation was performed following logical imputation to replace missing responses. Unique code values (7, 8, or 9) were assigned to the recency-of-use variable when such logical imputation occurred. These code values are readily identifiable by the phrase "... LOGICALLY IMPUTED" in the code value descriptions. For those recency-of-use variables with missing data for which no indication of use of the drug could be found by examination of all relevant variables in the record, a code value of 91 ("Never Used") was assigned if there were one or more indications of such nonuse in the set of relevant variables.
To protect the anonymity of respondents, all variables that could be used to identify individuals have been deleted from the public use file.
For some drugs that have multiple names, questions regarding the use of that drug may be asked for each distinct name. For example, even though methamphetamine, methedrine and desoxyn are the same drug, their use was measured in three separate variables.
demographic characteristics
Multistage area sample design with oversampling of six Metropolitan Statistical Areas of special interest: Washington, DC, New York City, Miami, Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles. Minorities and youths aged 12-17 were also oversampled.
Data were weighted based on the three stages of sampling that were used. Adjustments were made to compensate for nonresponse and sampling error. Adjustments also included trimming sample weights to reduce excessive weight variation and a post-stratification to Census population estimates. The final weight variable to be used in analysis is ANALWT.
Strategies for ensuring high rates of participation resulted in an interview response rate of 84.2 percent. Of the 32,594 completed interviews, 16,628 were with Whites and other (i.e., non-Hispanic, non-Blacks), 8,050 were with (non-Hispanic) Blacks, and 7,916 were with Hispanics. Approximately 7 percent (2,190) of the interviews were conducted using the Spanish version of the questionnaire. The completed interviews represented a 96.5 percent completion rate for screening sample households and an 84.2 percent for interviewing sample individuals. The response rates for these three racial/ethnic groups were 82.3 percent for Whites and others, 85.1 percent for Blacks, and 87.3 percent for Hispanics.
2015-02-03: Created a separate Questionnaire PDF that was extracted from the Codebook PDF.
2013-06-20: Updating xml file to include variable headings and subheadings.
2008-08-05: New files were added. These files included one or more of the following: Stata setup, SAS transport (CPORT), SPSS system, Stata system, SAS supplemental syntax, and Stata supplemental syntax files, and tab-delimited ASCII data file. The variable CASEID was also added to the dataset.
1999-05-12: SAS and SPSS data definition statements have been updated to include value labels and missing values sections, and the appendices have been added to the PDF codebook.

Behind the MTA's overtime troubles

Overtime costs soared at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority last year to a record $1.2 billion, a 20 percent rise over 2016, according to the Empire Center's SeeThroughNY project.
The MTA notes that the bill was actually only $225 million above what it had budgeted for, and mainly blames the Summer of Hell. OT costs rose 26 percent to nearly three-quarters of a billion dollars at the Transit Authority as it launched major repairs to a system in crisis. That accounted for 62 percent of the MTA's total OT bill.
MTA blames subway delays, repairs for surge in overtime pay
A squad of LIRR foremen are among the MTA's top...
The agency also says that Mayor de Blasio's refusal to pay what it asked toward the $856 million subway action plan forced it to stretch out repairs and pay more OT: Without the city cash, it can't hire more people to get vital work done.
It's harder to justify the $175.4 million in OT expenses posted at the Long Island Rail Road, a jump of 10 percent over 2016. Yes, it had to handle problems at Penn Station — but nothing like the mess in the subways.
And while the average overtime payment was $13,629 at the Transit Authority, it was $22,701 at the LIRR — which also had the top OT earners, including 174 workers who raked in $100,000 or more above base pay. Nine collected over $200,000 in OT.
The root problem: The LIRR's unions have extra power because they're governed by federal, not state, law, which allows its workers to strike. (The feds keep it that way to cover up railroad-pension problems in other parts of the country.) That lets the overtime kings exploit work rules and seniority to cash in big.
In short, the MTA's overtime problems are another sign of how much of the agency's fate isn't really in its own hands.
