Ultraman was born into the partially "reversed" universe of Earth-Three.
2.2 Weaknesses
Similar to the story of Superman, was sent from the planet Krypton to the planet Earth on Earth-Three where he first encountered Kryptonite in outer space which began to change him into a superpower house of vast powers and abilities. (Diferently of other universes, this Krypton didn't explode, thus the motive to Ultraman have been rocketed is unknown.[1]) Upon his arrival on Earth-Three, the boy grew up developing new powers every time he encountered Kryptonite. Upon reaching adulthood, he renamed himself Ultraman and began a life of conquest and destruction. It would be during his conquering that he encountered four other superpowered beings who would all loosely gather together in various schemes to dominate their world and become the Crime Syndicate of America.
It would be after largely conquering most of their world that Ultraman developed a new type of supervision that allowed him to see into Earth-One dimension. Seeking an open battle to test their powers after defeating the military forces of their native Earth-Three, the Crime Syndicate challenged the combined forces of the Earth-One Justice League of America and Earth-Two Justice Society of America. Not able to withstand the combined mights of two Earths greatest superbeings, the Crime Syndicate was defeated and imprisoned in an extradimensional bubble created by the Earth-One Green Lantern. Over a period of time, the Crime Syndicate members escaped.
It would be on one of these periods between ruling and imprisonment that Ultraman was recruited by the extra-dimensional Alexei Luthor of Earth-Two and Lex Luthor of Earth-One who sought to destroy their native Earths and rule Earth-Three as their new base of operations in their attempt to completely defeat their respective Supermen. Ultraman directly fought and defeated both Superman of Earth-Two and the Superman of Earth-One who were brought to Earth-Three by Alexander Luthor, Sr. as his body was directly powered by the very source that depowered both Supermen. Seeing that the Supermen could not directly take on Ultraman and defeat him, Alexander Luthor, Sr. directly entered the fight after donning superpowered armor. Tricking Ultraman into thinking himself unable to directly fight the infinitely powered Ultraman, Luthor was able to get close enough to Ultraman to dephase Ultraman into an intangible state and allow the Supermen of Earth-One and Earth-Two to recover from Ultraman's Kryptonite powered attack.[2]
After being defeated by Luthor, Ultraman was once again imprisoned. But Ultraman and the Crime Syndicate were able to routinely escape as shown when the Ultra-Humanite and his new time-traveling band of the Secret Society of Super-Villains.[3] Ultraman and the others would battle against Luthor, Sr. and other heroes on many occasions who would routinely defeat Ultraman and the other members of the Crime Syndicate.
This basic stalemate of almost endless escape and imprisonment would continue until the antimatter wave attack of the Anti-Monitor came to Earth-Three during the Crisis on Infinite Earths. Unable to stop the antimatter wave that was destroying Earth-Three, Ultraman and the other members of the Crime Syndicate teamed up with Luthor, Sr. in an attempt to stop the attack. Seeing that his infinite powers were unable to stop the wave, Ultraman decided to attack the wave head on after stating to the helpless Power Ring that he will do "what I have done all my life...I fight to the very end!'
He along with everyone else native to their dimension died in the attack and were completely erased from all history with the reset of the single surviving universe, except for the Superman of Earth-Two and Alexander Luthor, Jr. who remembered Ultraman and his world.
Earth-Three Kryptonian Physiology
Kryptonite Energy Absorption: Ultraman powers are based on his body's ability to absorb, process, and store Kryptonite radiation.
Invulnerability:
Self-Sustenance: He does not need to eat or sleep (but is still capable of doing so) and doesn't require oxygen to breathe enabling him to travel in space and underwater unprotected.
Superhuman Hearing:
Super-Breath: Ultraman can create hurricane force winds by blowing, and also chill his breath to freeze a target.
Super Vision: Ultraman also possesses a superior sensory arrangement of visual capabilities.
Telescopic Vision: The ability to focus his vision to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics.
Microscopic Vision: The ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the sub atomic level.
X-Ray Vision: The ability to see through anything except lead. Since it is passive, this ability would not generate harmful radiation in the same manner as a focused projection of hard X-rays.
Dimensional Vision: If exposed to kryptonite, he can watch what happens in other dimensions.[4]
Power Loss: Lack of exposure to Kryptonite will result in loss of his abilities. However, with overexposure to kryptonite, Ultraman's body becomes paralyzed with the overcharge.[5]
This version of Ultraman reappears after the Crisis a few times as a recreation. He is first recreated in Animal Man #24 (June 1990) and most recently in the Infinite Crisis series, but both times was clearly indicated to be a recreation (aka clone) of the original being who was killed in the first Crisis.
Ultraman's costume differs from Superman's in that it features a blue epaulet onto which his cape is attached, his bodysuit features no red tights but it does have red cuffs on the sleeves, and that its U symbol is not affixed to a shield design of any sort.
Despite the name, he is not to be confused with the fictional alien superhero created by Tsuburaya Productions and actually precedes that character in naming by two years. (DC's Ultraman debuted in 1964 while Tsuburaya's Ultraman debuted in 1966).
It is unknown if Jur-Ll, the Earth-Three version of Jor-El, is Ultraman's father.

WACO, Texas -- Baylor scored two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning, and Whitney Canion pitched another gem as the Lady Bears advanced to championship day with a 2-1 win against Tulsa at Getterman Stadium Saturday.
Baylor will play for the regional championship on Saturday.
Tulsa's Aimee Creger came into the contest with a 28-1 record and a 1.24 ERA, but the Lady Bears' two-run, three-hit inning in the bottom of the fourth handed the Golden Hurricane ace just her second loss of the season.
Jordan Strickland drove home the tying run with two outs before the next batter, Liz Paul, singled home Sarah Smith to give Baylor the winning run.
Canion picked up her 28th win of the season, scattered five hits, walked three and struck out five in the win. Tulsa struck first with Julie Kernen singling in the second before Cierra Hughes tripled her home to give the Hurricane an early 1-0 lead.
After Baylor scored two runs, Tulsa made it interesting in the seventh when Jodi Edmiston doubled to leadoff the inning. Maggie Withee laid down a sacrifice bunt to move Edminston to third with one out. However, Canion induced a lineout from Haley Henshaw and struck out Shelby Blanton after intentionally walking Jill Barrett to end the game.
The victory was the 700th of Glenn Moore's career with 561 of those victories coming at Baylor.

Horst Köhler wrote to the chancellor in mid-March. Formerly the German chief negotiator in the Maastricht Treaty negotiations, Köhler had moved on to become the president of the German Savings Bank Association. Enclosed with his letter was a study by the Hamburg Institute of International Economics, which concluded that Italy had not fulfilled the conditions "for permanent and sustainable deficit and debt reduction," and that it posed "a special risk" to the euro.
But Kohl rebuffed his former confidant. Of course the Europeans would have to continue their structural reforms, he replied, but he was confident that the governments would rise to the challenge "in the coming years."
At a European Union special summit in Brussels in early May 1998, Kohl felt the "weight of history" and, without further ado, provided his unreserved support. "Not without the Italians, please. That was the political motto," says Joachim Bitterlich, Kohl's foreign policy advisor.
The documents that have now been released suggest that the Kohl administration misled both the public and Germany's Federal Constitutional Court. Four professors had at the time filed a lawsuit against the introduction of the euro. The suit was "clearly without merit," the government told the court, arguing that it would only be justified in the event of a "substantial deviation" from the Maastricht criteria, and that such a deviation was "neither recognizable nor to be expected."
Really? Following a meeting between the chancellor, Finance Minister Theo Waigel and Bundesbank President Hans Tietmeyer, on the case before the Federal Constitutional Court, the head of the economics division at the Chancellery, Sighart Nehring, noted in mid-March 1998 that "enormous risks" were associated with Italy's "high debt levels." The debt structure, Nehring added, was "unfavorable" and outlays would increase considerably if interest rates rose by only a small amount.
But the memo had no repercussions. The chancellor, it would seem, wasn't terribly interested in the details. There was a "built-in flexibility" among politicians when it came to the Maastricht criteria," says Dieter Kastrup, German ambassador to Italy at the time.
Italy, after all, was a founding member of the EU, and the Italians had never behaved as poorly in Brussels as the French did under President Charles de Gaulle or the British under Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. And, finally, hadn't Goethe too waxed lyrical about Italy? "We all shared a certain love for Italy," says Bitterlich.
Officials in Bonn were pinning their hopes on two men who had set out to clean house in Italy: Prime Minister Romano Prodi, a quiet professor from Bologna, and his ascetic minister for the budget and economic planning, Carlo Ciampi, who had been governor of the Italian central bank for many years.
The two technocrats had come into power after the old Italian party system had foundered in a maelstrom of corruption and Mafia connections. Prodi and his center-left alliance "Ulivo" ("Olive Tree") won the election in 1996.
Kohl had doted on the short, liberal professor from the start. Ciampi, who had attended a Jesuit school in Tuscany, also enjoyed a good reputation with the Germans. "Without Ciampi, Italy would never have managed to be on board at the beginning of the monetary union," says former Finance Minister Waigel.
The country was drifting "toward financial bankruptcy" at the time, writes historian Hans Woller. The red tape involved in establishing a company took more than 60 days to complete. Italians couldn't buy newspapers at noon, because they could only be sold at kiosks, which were closed for lunch. Retirees outnumbered the working population, and many of the 1.5 million people officially classified as severely disabled were in the best of health.
Ciampi and Prodi were relatively successful compared to their predecessors. Through reforms and cost-cutting measures, they were able to reduce new borrowing and bring down inflation. But the country had bigger problems than that, and the government was fully aware of them. Indeed, the Italians twice suggested postponing the launch of the euro in 1997. But the Germans rejected the idea. It was "a taboo," says Kohl's former advisor Bitterlich, pointing out that the Germans were pinning their hopes on Ciampi. "Everyone felt that he was Italy's guarantor, in a certain sense, and that he would fix things."
It is also clear, of course, that Kohl was determined to wrap up the monetary union before the 1998 parliamentary election. His re-election was in jeopardy, and his challenger, Social Democrat Schröder, was a known euro skeptic.
In the end, the Italians formally fulfilled the Maastricht criteria with a combination of tricks and fortunate circumstances. The country benefited from historically low interest rates, and Ciampi proved to be a creative financial juggler. He introduced, for example, a "Europe tax" and carried out a clever accounting trick, which involved selling national gold reserves to the central bank and imposing a tax on the profits. The budget deficit shrank accordingly. Even though EU statisticians ultimately did not acknowledge this trickery, it symbolized the fundamental Italian problem: The budget was not structurally balanced, but in fact had benefited from special effects.
This not did not escape the notice of Chancellery officials. In a memo dated Jan. 19, 1998, Bitterlich pointed out that the deficit reduction was based primarily on the special Europe tax and on market interest rates that had fallen considerably in comparison to rates in other countries. A few weeks later, representatives of the Dutch government contacted the Chancellery and requested a "confidential meeting." The general secretary of the Dutch prime minister and a state secretary from the finance ministry wanted to put pressure on Rome. "Without additional measures on the part of Italy to provide credible proof of the longevity of the consolidation, Italy's acceptance into the euro zone is currently unacceptable," the Dutch officials argued.
Kohl, fearing for his most important project since German reunification, refused. He told the Dutch officials that the government in Paris had warned him that France would withdraw from the agreement if Italy were excluded.
The Germans were in a weak negotiating position. When it came to fiscal discipline, they were overbearing in their approach to the rest of Europe, and yet Germany's own budget figures were anything but exemplary. The country's sovereign debt level was slightly above the critical 60 percent mark. Even worse, in contrast to almost all of the other countries that wanted to be included in the first round of the monetary union, Germany's total debt was not decreasing, as the treaty required, but in fact was growing.
The Chancellery was aware of the problem. "In contrast to Belgium and Italy, the German debt level has risen since 1994," they wrote in a March 24, 1998 memo to Kohl and Chief of Staff Friedrich Bohl. The consequences were unpleasant. "In our view, there is a legal problem in Germany's case, because the Maastricht Treaty only provides for an exception if the debt level is declining," the memo continues.
Kohl and Waigel claimed mitigating circumstances. Without German reunification, they argued, the debt ratio would only be 45 percent. The excuse was "met with understanding" by both the European Commission and the partner countries, the officials noted with relief.
Still, the situation made it difficult for Germany to play judge, particularly given the lack of formal proof that Italy was in violation. In the spring of 1998, the statistical office of the European Union certified that the Italians had satisfied the deficit criteria of the Maastricht Treaty. This meant that there was "no longer any reason to bar the Italians accession to the euro," as Waigel recalls. After this hurdle had been removed for the Italians, "they had a sort of legal claim to be allowed to be part of the euro from the very beginning," Waigel's former top official Regling says today.

Xbox One To Get New Features & Functionality
In NewsXbox News
Phil Spencer has revealed during the Live Build 2016 conference that a number of new features will be coming to both the Xbox One and Windows 10 in the near future. The first major improvement is the implementation of a single unified store across all devices.
The Xbox One will also be gaining the ability to play music in the background. It's likely that this will use Microsoft's own Groove music program. It's unlikely that we'll see Spotify join the Xbox One yet as Spotify announced a timed exclusive partnership with Sony.
In Bargains
Microsoft also announced that Cortana is coming to Xbox this winter. Just like on the Windows 10 PC, you'll be able to ask her miscellaneous questions and get a quick response. Obviously, you'll need Kinect 2.0 in order to use this.
Spencer also announced that other updates will be announced at E3 and will be apart of their Anniversary update.

New ingestible tech could change the way we receive injections
A futuristic pill developed by Rani Therapeutics delivers injections directly into a patient's intestine.
The "RaniPill," which has no metal components, went through 100 animal tests before completing its first human trial this month.
According to Rani Therapeutics, the pill causes no discomfort and could significantly lower the cost of injections for "most drugs."
— The pill's outer shell dissolves in the intestine, triggering the release of two gases
— hose gases combine to create CO2
— The CO2 inflates a tiny balloon, which pushes a needle through the intestinal wall
— The needle dissolves harmlessly inside the body
— The inflatable balloon function described above was tested successfully during the initial human trial. The second trial will test the needle function.

Terminally-ill prisoner released under First Step Act
Richard Evans, 74, was released from a federal prison in Louisiana on Thursday. He had served only 22 months of a 5-year sentence earned for conspiracy, fraud, and distribution of oxycodone and hydrocodone.
Evans was freed on "compassionate release" according to the First Step Act – a reform package signed by President Trump late last year.
Among other things, the First Step Act allows prisoners with serious health concerns to petition a federal judge for early release if their complaints are ignored by prison officials.
This is exactly what happened to Evans, who took his case to US District Judge Kenneth Hoyt after complaints about a lump on his neck were ignored.
The lump – which has since grown into an ugly black mass encompassing the entire right side of his neck – has been diagnosed as a malignant melanoma.
"Without the court process, our client would die in prison," said Evans's attorneys.
Evans's prognosis remains unclear, but he has plans to visit specialists at the MD Anderson Cancer Center next week. He will spend the next three years under "supervised release."

The Kenosha Tinderbox
Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17-year-old American boy, is on trial for two murders and one attempted murder which allegedly occurred in Kenosha, Wisconsin, during a period of unrest in the United States last year. His defence is that he was armed because of the unrest and was protecting private property (not his property, but a carpark in another city and another state 30 miles (45km) from his home). His lawyers contest that the people he shot needed to be shot in defence of that property, as well as his own life. A jury of his peers will decide if this teenager is found guilty of a heinous crime or is a hero who was upholding his constitutional rights.
But the entire saga, as it unfolds shows how dangerously vulnerable the US really is and how far it has come from its 250-year-old constitution, designed to help people to protect themselves from insurrection and imminent danger. Let's start with an anecdote.
Imagine if you can, being a visitor to a country you've never visited before and being picked up by a friend who is a native of that country. He meets you at the airport, shakes your hand, gives you the appropriate hug which is customary in greeting visitors in the west, takes your bag as you walk together to the carpark and you get into his car chatting about the flight and your plans for the next few days
Leaving the carpark, you take the freeway into town, still chatting; it's good to catch-up. There's a lot of work to be done which is the main reason for the visit but there are some exciting days ahead with visits planned to the famous part of town for nightlife and live music, you're going to do some sailing on the lake and everything looks great for a really interesting few days with friends and colleagues.
Then he asks you:
"Can you open the glove box and hand me my weapon?
"Weapon! What weapon?"
You gingerly open the glovebox and inside you see an automatic pistol, it's not in a holster, it's just sitting there, doing nothing, not harming anyone (yet) but it's a sinister development you weren't expecting. You pick it up, not used to handling weapons you don't really know how, you're a little afraid so, just as gingerly, you use two fingers, lift the grip on the handle, afraid to drop it because you don't know if it's loaded, you have no idea if there's a safety mechanism and you don't know if it can go off when dropped. Carefully you hand it to your friend and he takes it and places it nonchalantly between his legs. At the next red light, he picks it up, slides back the top and chambers a round — now you're sitting just inches away from a genuine lethal weapon. He places it back down between his legs and you ask:
"Do you always have a gun in the car?"
His answer surprises you: "I don't have one, I have three; this is just the most convenient".
This is a true story, a good friend of mine relayed a couple of days ago. The incident took place in Chicago, just three years ago. And so it is, driving into Chicago from the airport, there is a part of the city that is so dangerous that people who live there and know the region well, feel unsafe driving anywhere in that part of town without a loaded and cocked gun, ready to defend themselves against their fellow citizens.
What's worse, is that this situation isn't getting better. Kyle Rittenhouse doesn't come from, nor did he go to Chicago, but since the true story of the arrival in the USA took place there, this is a good place to look at how things in the USA are going so badly wrong.
Gun violence in Chicago in the first 7 months of 2021, skyrocketed, increasing by 15% over last year[1]. 445 is the number of homicides in this one city between New Year's Day and the 30th July, this was almost exactly the same in 2020 but an enormous increase on 2019 when "only" 290 people were murdered during the same period.
Whilst the number of murders is shocking and should be totally unacceptable it hides and even more frightening statistic, during this same period of time, there were 1,973 shooting incidents in Chicago and 2,471 victims (meaning more than 2,000 of them didn't die and are living with the consequences of, and medical expenses related to, having been shot). This number represents a massive increase of 63% on 2019 figures.
The Chicago police department loves to show how low the figures were in 2019 but fails to mention that there were COVID-19 restrictions and various lockdowns so these massive increases are not evidence of a surge in crime they are — remarkably — evidence of a return to normality. A normality where there were 445 murders in 212 days and an average of 11.6 people per day requiring hospital treatment for gunshot wounds.
Estimates for the USA vary widely but there are many millions of guns in private hands[2], probably close to 400 million. According to Wikipedia[3], there are also around 200 organised militias in which groups of people are armed and trained to follow a certain political path, the largest of which, the "Oath Keepers", has approximately 38,000 members and a great deal of sympathy towards Kyle Rittenhouse.
With Kyle Rittenhouse, the US government is very much between a rock and a hard place. Should this young man be convicted, these right-wing, pro-gun, anti-government, (mostly Trump supporting) groups, such as the Oath Keepers, who are organised into disciplined fighting bodies, will quite literally, be up in arms because they believe Rittenhouse is a scapegoat for a soft, left-wing, liberal government. Should he be exonerated, we can expect the same kinds of mass demonstrations and civil disobedience which led to him being out that night and armed.
Whichever way this trial goes, it will be an unfavourable result and the USA is going to have a big problem on its hands and a lot of firepower which may be directed inwards.

Godless govt. prevents Biblical justice
Robert Jeffress, senior pastor of the Dallas First Baptist Church, turns to the Bible for advice in how to deal with Harold Camping and his failed end-times prophecies.
Jeffress confirmed with The Christian Post on Thursday that he is still condemning Camping.
"The Bible says that if someone makes a prophecy that doesn't come true he is to be considered a false prophet and stoned to death," he told CP. "Harold Camping has made at least three false prophecies about the day of the Rapture. And so, if he's not going to be stoned to death, he at least needs to be muzzled."
Yeah, it must be really frustrating for a Bible-believing Christian to live in a godless nation that won't even let you carry out Biblical commandments on how to treat your fellow Christians.
Jeffress is treading on rather thin ice here, though, since Jesus himself also sets time limits on when The End is supposed to occur.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it; but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it… For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.
"Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."
Needless to day, those guys are long since dead, without anyone ever seeing the Son of Man coming in His kingdom (which, in context, is supposed to happen at the great judgment of the wicked after the Great Tribulation). The traditional excuse for this failed prophecy is that the Bible is infallibly true anyway—we've just misinterpreted what it was trying to say. That way, you see, believers can still claim infallible authority for their Bible-based claims even after being proven wrong. But what has Harold Camping done that's any different from what Jeffress and other believers do with respect to Jesus' failed prophecies?
So no stonings after all, I guess, and that's a good thing. I kind of like Harold Camping. He's basically a nice guy whose most obvious failing is that he believed the Bible too much.

Greg Laden says
Why do I find myself agreeing with the man… sort of.
quantheory says
I dunno that I'd say that I like Camping. A lot of money moved around in very unfortunate ways due to the people who were taken in by his pronouncement. I think that his operation in general is a scam, regardless of whether or not he in particular believes his predictions.
By the way, Jeffress is the Perry supporter who made those controversial comments about Mormonism being a cult.
Nemo says
What Jesus meant was that he was making some of the people in the audience immortal, just so they could hang around until he came back. He could totally do that, he's Jesus after all.
Brian63 says
Why shouldn't Camping be stoned to death, Jeffress? It sounds like you are trying to put man's law above God's law. How very liberal and ungodly of you.
grumpyoldfart says
Harold Camping is a nice guy!?
I'll bet that Mr "nice guy" isn't on his radio show today, assuring disappointed members that he will refund all the money they lost after following his advice.
I'll bet, instead, that it won't be long before he is back to his usual routine, begging the mugs in the pews to give until it hurts.
AussieMike says
I don't get it. They will terrorise pro abortionists and scare the hell (yea I know!) out of young women. They will fight tooth and nail to have creation taught in schools. But they will not follow their own rules on dealing with false prophets.
Actually i do get it. If they followed this rule every pastor, priest, Father, or whatever would have to have a massive stoning fest…to each other. What a great idea, all the Christians can get together and stone each other to death.
But wait! That would go against a million years of altruistic evolutionary development to follow the bible…Oh this is so confusing!!!
Otrame says
ProfMTH has an excellent discussion of this in his "Jesus Was Wrong" series.
ProfMTH has a great series on Youtube that addresses this.

Would this be a single elimination tournament, or a round-robin?
Hazuki says
Interesting how the Youtube comments devolve into bafflegab about how it wasn't talking about literal destruction and so on. Sorry, but it was. The "it's all a metaphor!" stuff came later, much later, and we can see changes in the Bible text's attitudes (e.g., differences between 1 and 2 Thessalonians and trends in 2 Peter) showing that, yes, people DID expect the world to end literally.

This is heartbreaking news. Comics great John Severin, 90, passed away on February 12th. I haven't written about him here, but he was one of my all-time faves. He truly was. Years ago I bought America at War: The Best of DC War Comics, a book full of-- you guessed it!-- DC war comics. One of the standouts was the John Severin-illustrated "Push-Button War!", (originally printed in Our Army at War #67, DC, 1952) about a B-17 bombadier and how "easy" his war was compared to that of everyone else. He had a distinctive way of drawing eyes that was instantly recognizable, and a unique crosshatching method to build up tone. There was no mistaking whose work it was. Plus, it was signed. This story was from the guy I knew and enjoyed for his humor work with Cracked magazine at the time. I was astounded. I was a fan. It made me appreciate his comedy stuff all the more. When he drew Cracked's E.T. parody, the caricatures were dead-on. Subtler than Mort Drucker's or Jack Davis's, but no less amusing for it.
I was in junior high at the time and drawing my own epic comic, a completely insane story in which every Marvel character along with whatever other pop culture property caught my attention-- Indiana Jones and Jake Cutter from the TV show Tales of the Gold Monkey plus John Belushi and Dan Aykroyd in their parts from Steven Spielberg's flop panic-comedy 1941 play secondary roles-- fight a war against the Theragran-M delivery man for some reason. Severin's version of Elliott tossing the softball into the garden shed makes an appearance, painstakingly copied line-for-line as best I could at the time. In fact, I copied every figure in the story from various comics. It didn't matter that none of them were stylistically compatible. I just knew I had to work some John Severin into the mix.
In those days it had simply never entered my thinking artists could cross genres, or if they did, they could do so at John Severin's lofty level. Later I learned just how many genres Severin worked in. War, western, horror, fantasy, superheroes. Science fiction? Sports? I'm not sure. I feel like he did it all. I know he did it all with an amazing sense of verisimilitude. From the gunner positions in the heavy bomber of that first story I read to his EC stories in Two-Fisted Tales and Frontline Combat to the pirates in his Warren classic "Drink Deep" (Creepy #7, February 1965) and stories in Blazing Combat to more recent work for Marvel and Dark Horse, everything Severin drew looked and felt authentic. Real, without the crutch of photorealism. I think one of the highest compliments you can pay an artist is to recognize him or her as being able to "draw anything."
John Severin could draw anything.
I can't think of too many artists with Severin's career longevity. He did his first professional work at age 10, later served in WWII, broke into comics in the late 1940s (probably 1948) and just last year illustrated Witchfinder: Lost and Gone Forever, a five-issue miniseries for Dark Horse-- with no appreciable drop in quality! His last published job looks every bit as fresh as anything he did in the 1950s and 1960s for EC and Warren! That in itself is almost superhuman!
Many artists follow a kind of bell curve trajectory in their careers. There's the rise to competence-- or in some lucky cases, pure genius-- followed by a peak period, then a long decline. Few artists appear fully-formed, and if it appears so it's more than likely because he or she spent those formative, rising years working in secret. We discover them and enjoy their peak time, which, if they stay mentally and physically healthy, can last decades. If not, the decline makes an abrupt and steep downturn on the chart, a cliff-like drop off in output. Even with geniuses like Jack Kirby and Al Williamson, we can trace a late career decline in quality. For some tragic individuals like Wally Wood and Reed Crandall, the end comes suddenly, shockingly.
In John Severin's case, the rise took place way before I was born. "Push-Button War!" came early in his career and it was still eye-catching to me when I first read it even during a time when Neal Adams, John Byrne, George Perez, Michael Golden and others like them had become the gold standard. The fan faves. The ones we all wanted to draw like. I'm happy I had the good taste to pick up on John Severin. Those others were and still are idols of mine, and their work figured largely in my stupid self-drawn comic book. But my love for good art recognized no trendiness. I saw "Push-Button War!" and I knew at once I was looking at some fantastic stuff. I had to try and assimilate it as well. I had to seek out more John Severin. He never disappointed me. A fill-in issue of The 'Nam? Sweet. Rawhide Kid? Well, okay! Working with Mike Mignola and John Arcudi? Holy Hellboy!
As far as I can tell, Severin spent the entire duration of our overlapping time alive on a high-altitude plateau of brilliance. He really skewed the charts on maintaining one's gifts. He's left behind a lot of richly deserved admiration and a generation-spanning body of work a comic fan could spend a lifetime examining.
Well done, Mr. Severin. I will miss you dearly.

Step back to sock-hop days and give local kids a one-of-a-kind, small-town community experience at Junior Auxiliary of Ruston's fifth Annual Dinner and a Movie.
Throw blankets and lawn chairs in the car and drive over to Lincoln Parish Park beginning at 4:30p.m. this Friday.
Admission to the park is free. Once there, stroll around and take in the scene. Families can mingle, children can play activities at more than 30 vendor booths, and the entire family can enjoy the entertainment happening center field. Family fun is planned including a magic show, dancing, gymnastics and games. American AVL is the largest sponsor again this year and is providing sound, video equipment and a microphone for JA's emcee, Stephanie Griffin.
The Lincoln Parish Library has been awarded the James O. Modisette Award for Public Libraries and named the public library of the year by the Louisiana Library Association. This award is given out every two years to encourage the improvement of public library services in a two-year period. The entire library staff received the award during the LLA's annual conference in Shreveport on Wednesday. The library staff is pictured wearing their new uniforms approved during the February meeting of the Lincoln Parish Library Board.
This spring, Louisiana Tech will focus on East Asia for its annual "Shaping the 21st Century" series.
While its doors have been open since November, Tech Pointe will see its official opening sometime in April, starting a new research and technology facility for Louisiana Tech University on it's Enterprise Campus.
Tech Pointe will be the first building of Enterprise Campus, Tech's new research park which broke ground in 2009.
Tech vice president for research and development Les Guice said Tech Pointe will be a home for partnering companies and the private sector to come together and work more collaboratively with faculty and students at the university.
While many students excel on the football field or basketball courts, others have different talents that may not be as well recognized. One of those talents is music, and whether it be in the choir or band, students with musical abilities also share their talents with everyone in their life.
Music is just as important as athletics, and with March being Music in Our Schools month, we should take time to thank a music teacher or choir director for involving area students in the activity.
If you're like me, you probably drive your reliable vehicle to work every day, and the thoughts of your list of things to do for the day are running through your head. Then it happens. You observe the red light, you stop, you sigh ever so loudly as you look down at your watch and you look to the right. There it is! That brand new vehicle you have had your eyes on.
In the first of those decisions, Oliver v. Magnolia Clinic, the majority told the lower courts that "trial courts and courts of appeal are bound to follow the last expression of law of the Louisiana Supreme Court." In this case, the lower courts had not. The opinion went on to revisit its reasoning in a prior case to remind the courts of their obligation to follow the latest expression of law regarding the constitutionality of the state's $500,000 cap on medical malpractice claims.
PHILADELPHIA—Thankfully, the comparisons have finally died down. Paul Millsap no longer gets mentioned in the same breath as Karl Malone, even though he went to the same school (Louisiana Tech) as "The Mailman,'' even though he's playing for the same Utah Jazz team as the NBA's second leading all-time scorer.
Not that he ever tried to be.
It was patently unfair for the kid from Monroe to be linked to one of the game's all-time greats. But you never heard Paul Millsap complain. In fact you probably never heard him say much of everything, simply because that went against his upbringing.
Hillcrest Elementary has released the names of those students achieving the honor roll during the fourth six weeks grading period. Those students are listed by achievement level and grade.
Goodwill Lunching Inc. held a Book Festival at Ruston Elementary School on Dec. 1. Each student selected three books of their choosing from hundreds of grade-level appropriate books for children in kindergarten through fifth grade. The Kiwanis Club of Ruston co-sponsored the Book Festival, and eighth graders from Ruston Junior High School's Connection Leaders program were on hand to help students select books and read with them.

Die Berliner Bewegung war eine antisemitische Sammlungsbewegung, die in den 1880er Jahren im Deutschen Kaiserreich aktiv war.

Aufstieg und Zeit des Erfolges

Die "Berliner Bewegung" entstand aus dem erstarkenden deutschen Antisemitismus Ende der 1870er Jahre. Dabei handelt es sich nicht um eine Partei oder einen Verein, sondern um eine Sammelbezeichnung für eine Vielzahl von Gruppierungen und Personen, deren gemeinsamer Nenner die Judenfeindschaft war.
Hauptbezugspunkte für die antisemitische Ideologie der "Berliner Bewegung" waren ein diffuser Antiliberalismus und Antikapitalismus als Nachwirkungen des Gründerkrachs von 1873, die Furcht vor einem Anwachsen der Sozialdemokratie und der Aufstieg eines ethnisch-rassischen Nationsverständnisses im Bildungsbürgertum. Besonders pointiert verliehen die Schriften des Publizisten Otto Glagau diesem Gedankengut Ausdruck.
Bestärkt sah sich die "Berliner Bewegung" durch Bismarcks konservative Wende von 1878/79, in der er mit dem Liberalismus brach und eine sozialkonservative Innenpolitik einleitete (Sozialistengesetz, Sozialgesetzgebung, Ende des Kulturkampfs). Bismarck instrumentalisierte die "Berliner Bewegung" gezielt zur Schwächung des Liberalismus; wahrscheinlich finanzierte er sie sogar aus dem Welfenfonds. Der Reichskanzler ließ sie aber aufgrund ihrer Radikalität und mangelnden politischen Erfolgs bereits Anfang der 1880er Jahre wieder fallen.

Adolf Stoeckers Rede "Unsere Forderungen an das moderne Judenthum" im Jahre 1879 gilt in der Forschungsliteratur mitunter als Beginn des modernen Antisemitismus. Adolf Stoecker und seine "Christlich-soziale Partei" bildeten zunächst den Kern der "Berliner Bewegung". Sie umfasste eine Vielzahl antisemitischer, antiliberaler, konservativer und pseudo-antikapitalistischer Gruppierungen und Einzelpersonen, die sich hauptsächlich aus Berliner Handwerkern und Ladenbesitzern sowie Teilen der Intelligenz (Hochschulangehörige, Offiziere etc.) rekrutierten. In ihren Anfangsjahren wurde die "Berliner Bewegung" von den "Deutschkonservativen" unterstützt, die sich so eine Massenbasis verschaffen wollten. Sie profitierte außerdem von der weit verbreiteten antijüdischen und antiliberalen Stimmung in Deutschland sowie von der einsetzenden öffentlichen Diskussion um die Verantwortung des Staates für soziale Belange. 1880/81 initiierte die "Berliner Bewegung" die sogenannte "Antisemitenpetition" mit dem Ziel, die rechtliche Gleichstellung der Juden stark einzuschränken. Die Petition fand eine Viertelmillion Unterzeichner.

Mittlerweile hatten sich in Berlin kleine völkische Vereine und Parteien gebildet wie Wilhelm Marrs Antisemitenliga, Ernst Henricis Soziale Reichspartei und Liebermann von Sonnenbergs Deutscher Volksverein. Anders als die christlich-sozialen vertraten sie einen erklärtermaßen rassistischen Antisemitismus und erzeugten durch ihre Agitation eine weit verbreitete judenfeindliche Stimmung, die sich auch in Gewalttaten entlud (Neujahrskrawalle in Berlin, Kantorowicz-Affäre, Neustettiner Synagogenbrand). Dies hielt die Deutschkonservativen nicht davon ab, im Konservativen Central Comitee auch mit den ultraradikalen Antisemiten zu kooperieren. Ziel war es, die Vorherrschaft von Liberalen und SPD in Berlin zu brechen. Bei den Reichstagswahlen von 1881 kandidierten in den Berliner Wahlkreisen Antisemiten der "Berliner Bewegung" für die Konservativen. Trotz Stimmengewinnen konnten sie keinen Wahlkreis erobern, woraufhin die Zusammenarbeit im Konservativen Central Comitee aufgegeben wurde.

Der Berliner Antisemitismusstreit

Ihren Höhepunkt erlebte die "Berliner Bewegung" in den Jahren 1880 und 1881. Attackiert wurde sie von der Deutschen Fortschrittspartei, die die "Antisemitenpetition" am 20. und 22. November 1880 bei der "Interpellation Hänel" vor den preußischen Landtag brachte. Als die Deutsche Fortschrittspartei unter Rudolf Virchow und Eugen Richter bei den Reichstagswahlen am 27. Oktober 1881 der Berliner Bewegung eine vernichtende Niederlage zufügte und alle sechs Berliner Wahlkreise mit großem Abstand gewann, distanzierte sich auch Otto von Bismarck von den Antisemiten, der sich ihnen gegenüber bis dahin wohlwollend neutral verhalten hatte. Da ein Erfolg in Berlin unmöglich schien, konzentrierte sich die antisemitische Bewegung in den Folgejahren auf die Provinzen oder suchte über informelle Kanäle Einfluss zu gewinnen: Adolf Stoecker war ein gefragter Redner, Prinz Wilhelm, der spätere Kaiser Wilhelm II., war Anhänger der "Christlich-Sozialen", und selbst der Kaiser gewährte seinem Hofprediger Stoecker und einigen seiner Anhänger eine Audienz.

Neben dem Hofprediger Adolf Stoecker war es vor allem der Historiker Heinrich von Treitschke, der im Rahmen des Berliner Antisemitismusstreits die Positionen der "Berliner Bewegung" hoffähig machte. Er hatte in mehreren Artikeln der Preußischen Jahrbücher (1879/80) Verständnis für die Argumente und Ziele des Antisemitismus geäußert und davor gewarnt, wenn die Juden sich nicht änderten, werde die Parole "Die Juden sind unser Unglück!" erschallen. Er traf damit vor allem unter Studenten auf großen Zuspruch, während viele seiner Professorenkollegen in einer "Notabeln-Erklärung" den Antisemitismus scharf verurteilten. Der deutsche Kronprinz und spätere Kaiser Friedrich verurteilte die antisemitische Bewegung als "Schmach für Deutschland". Der Siegeszug des Antisemitismus in der Studentenschaft war allerdings nicht mehr aufzuhalten. Er wurde fortan nicht nur von den Vereinen deutscher Studenten vertreten, die sich zur Verbreitung der Antisemitenpetition gebildet hatten, sondern auch von vielen Burschenschaften und einigen Corps übernommen.

Niedergang und Nachwirkungen

Durch das Wahlbündnis der Kartellparteien vor der Reichstagswahl 1887 gerieten Stoecker und seine Anhänger in eine Misere: Sie konnten einerseits nicht ihre ständig proklamierte Regierungstreue aufgeben, andererseits konnten sie aber auch nicht die jetzt an der Regierung beteiligten "Nationalliberalen", die ihnen als "Judenpartei" galten, unterstützen. Bevor sich die "Christlich-Sozialen" zwischen Autorität und Antisemitismus entschieden hatten, ließ Bismarck Stoecker fallen, und die Konservativen gingen auf Distanz. Der Untergang der "Berliner Bewegung" ließ sich nun nicht mehr aufhalten.

Mit der Wahlniederlage der Antisemiten von 1887 war der Höhepunkt der "Berliner Bewegung" bereits überschritten. Die Mitgliederzahlen der Vereine und Parteien ging zurück, die Zahl der Versammlungen nahm ab, und viele Zeitungs- und Zeitschriftengründungen gingen ein. Einige der radikalsten Agitatoren (Bernhard Förster, Ernst Henrici) hatten, enttäuscht über mangelnde Resonanz, Deutschland verlassen. Andere Antisemiten wie Max Liebermann von Sonnenberg, Oswald Zimmermann und Otto Böckel verlagerten ihre Tätigkeit Ende der 1880er Jahre in die Provinz, wo insbesondere in Hessen und Sachsen antisemitische Vereins- und Parteigründungen auf erhebliche Resonanz stießen und in den 1890er Jahren Wahlerfolge erzielen konnten. Langfristig betrachtet blieben diese Gründungen, ähnlich wie Stoeckers Christlichsoziale Partei, Splitterparteien innerhalb des "nationalen Lagers".

Bedeutung

Die "Berliner Bewegung" ist als Gesamtphänomen noch kaum erforscht. Häufig wird sie unzutreffender Weise mit der Wirksamkeit Adolf Stoeckers identifiziert, der jedoch nur eine Persönlichkeit unter vielen anderen war. Die historische Bedeutsamkeit der "Berliner Bewegung" liegt darin begründet, dass sie dem modernen Antisemitismus in Deutschland zum ersten Mal ein Massenpublikum verschaffte und vor allem im Kleinbürgertum nachhaltige Politisierungseffekte erzielte.
Über die "Berliner Bewegung" schreibt John C. G. Röhl 1997, dass ihre Bedeutung "für die politische und kulturelle Entwicklung Deutschlands kaum unterschätzt werden kann", da sie zum einen breite Bevölkerungsschichten politisierte und zum anderen starke Unterstützung im akademischen Milieu, im preußischen Offizierskorps und am Hof fand.

Piety Street Recording Studio in Bywater Asks $895K
By Sarah Chase Mar 24, 2014, 3:49pm CDT
For those looking to score a piece of property with a musical past, behold the Piety Street Recording studio in Bywater. Back in August, producer/musician Mark Bingham announced he was closing up shop at his highly revered studio, which hit the market with an $895,000 ask in January. Bingham bought the corner building at Dauphine and Piety Streets in 1999 for $129,000, and the place has seen the likes of Tom Waits, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Dave Matthews, and an extensive list of local talent. The 4,865-square-foot ground floor area, a former post office from the 1920s, has a 758-square-foot attic apartment, a yard, off-street parking, and just in time for summer, it's fully air conditioned. Bingham told The Times-Pic, "The spiritual intention of the city of New Orleans and its music scene is vastly different than it was 10 or 20 years ago. It would have been fine to keep going, but I felt the world had changed," which is a perfectly fine real estate mantra, eh? The property is zoned B2, which means it could be anything from a multi-fam residential spot to a bakery, restaurant, small retail set-up, artist studios, or a bed-and-breakfast (to name a few).

LEADS NHL IN POINTS (23), GOALS (11) THIS SEASON
CONTINUED POINT STREAK TO 9 GAMES
Pastrnak recorded five assists in a game for the first time in his career and extended his point streak to nine games, totaling 23 points over that stretch.

1-1–2, 5 SOG, 18:10 TOI, GAME'S FIRST STAR
Pastrnak scored his league-leading 10th goal of the season in the Bruin's 4-2 win over the Toronto Maple Leafs at TD Garden Tuesday.
After having a goal called back on an offside challenge in the first period, Pastrnak went between the legs in front of the net and put the puck past Michael Hutchinson, which helped extend his point streak to six games.
He also tallied his 300th career point in what was his 329th NHL game, joining Barry Pederson, Bobby Orr, and Ray Bourque as the fourth player in Bruins history to score 300 points in less than 350 games.
Later in the game, Pastrnak set up linemate Brad Marchand with a nice spin pass and the winger scored on a wrist shot to extend his own point streak to eight games.
1-0–1, 3 SOG, 17:33 TOI, GAME'S SECOND STAR
STL 0
In a rematch of the 2019 Stanley Cup Final, Pastrnak scored an NHL-leading 11th goal Saturday to lead the Bruins to a 3-0 win over the St. Louis Blues at home.
Pastrnak extended his point streak to eight games and his goal-scoring streak to five games. He is also the eighth player in the last 27 years to score 11 goals in his team's first 10 games in a season.
NYR 4
Showing no slow down playing in the second of a back-to-back Sunday, Pastrnak put up five assists in the Bruins' 7-4 win over the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden.
The NHL's leading scorer extended his point streak to nine games, while he and Marchand (2-3–5) became the fourth and fifth players this season to reach 20 points. Pastrnak and Marchand also became just the third duo in Bruins history to have five points in a game.
Pastrnak and Marchand required the fewest games for a Bruins player to reach the 20-point mark since Adam Oates also did so in 11 games in 1992-93.

Off to a blistering start to the season averaging a goal a game, Pastrnak has his sights set on reaching a special benchmark for the first time in his career.
"I really don't try to think about it, but I want to be a 50-goal scorer," Pastrnak told Joe McDonald of The Athletic. "I wouldn't say it's stuck in my head like I have to, but I know I can."
For now, Pastrnak will try to retain his scoring lead when the Bruins play their next two games at home against the San Jose Sharks Oct. 29 and the Ottawa Senators Nov. 2.

Seneca Mining Company - Mohawk, Michigan 1906
newitem219004109
Beautiful certificate from the Seneca Mining Company issued in 1906. This historic document was printed by W.H. Arthur & Co. and has an ornate border around it with a vignette of an allegorical woman gesturing towards an old mine. This item has been hand signed by the Company's Assistant President, and Secretary, and is over 105 years old. Signs of wear.
Certificate Vignette Mining Prectices - 1919 The Seneca Mining Co., at Mohawk, Mich., is sinking a compound shaft, which is to be vertical to a point 1450 ft. from the surface and will then follow a 400-ft. radius curve to meet the Kearsarge lode, which dips at an angle of 34° from the horizontal. The equipment and methods adopted in sinking are in accordance with modern practice, and the progress made has established a record for shaft sinking in the Lake Superior district. The shaft is to be of four compartments, having two skipways, one ladderway and one pipe compartment. Over-all dimensions of the excavation are 11 ft. 4 in. x21 ft. 4 in. and steel sets of 5-in. H-beam construction are placed at from 6 to 8-ft. centers, depending upon the nature of the ground. These sets a'-e put in so that they are placed 4 ft. from the bottom when the ground is soft, up to 30 ft. from the bottom when the ground is hard. The lagging is of 2-in. hard wood. A double-drum steam hoist operates two 36-cu.ft. bucket's. Air is furnished by one Sullivan tandem-compound, Corliss steam-driven compressor, and one class WB-2 Sullivan straight line, simple steam, two-stage in the shafthouse, and the rock had to be trammed by hand. Three shifts were worked, with only four or five men on a shift, and under these conditions progress was slow. During February, 51 ft. was sunk, and in March 113 ft., with conditions about the same. Early in April the rock-disposal hauling outfit was completed, the headframe inclosed, and steam heating coils were installed, so that 154 ft. of shaft was sunk during that month. By increasing wages 50c. per day the management was able to secure sufficient men by May 1, and since that time the work has been carried on at full capacity, the crew averaging ten men and one shiftboss per shift, and working three shifts. During May 208 ft. was sunk in 27 working days, and this rate was maintained in June, when 195 ft. was sunk in 25 working days. This figure would have been exceeded had not the men encountered loose, soft ground, which caused considerable delay, as it was necessary to keep the steel work close to the bottom of the shaft to guard against loose rock falling on the men. The bonus system which has been adopted consists of air compressor is installed as a reserve. At the beginning of operations eight Sullivan DP-33 air tube rotators and eight hand hammer-drills of another make were in use. It was soon obvious that the Sullivan rotators were securing better results. Four more Sullivan rotators were purchased in April, and since that time 11 have been in constant operation, and two kept as spares. The header, shown in an accompanying cut, is connected to the main air line by a 3-in. hose and is supported in the center of the shaft while drilling by means of a cable leading from the steel framework. There are 11 hose lines, each 14 ft. long and leading from the bottom of the header to the drills; also one connection for a blowpipe. Excavation was begun on Feb. 13 during severe weather conditions as well as other handicaps. Water froze in the buckets, there were no steam lines installed. Reported in Michigan's mineral industries By Michigan. Geological Survey Division, United States. Bureau of Mines - 1917 Seneca Mining Company. On April 13, 1916 the announcement was made that a syndicate composed of Thomas F. Cole, of Duluth, Tucker, Hayes & Bartholomew, with some associates, had secured control of over 60 per cent of the stock of the Seneca Mining Company, control of which was owned by the Calumet & Hecla Mining Company. The Seneca adjoins the Mohawk and Ahmeek and carries the Kearsarge lode on the dip. It was further announced that a new corporation would be organized having 200,000 shares of stock. Thomas F. Cole was to be president of the new company and W. J. Uren, general manager. Immediate operations were planned to develop the south end of the property by sinking a shaft. This deal, however, did not materialize for various reasons. In the early part of December announcement was made that Tucker, Hayes & Bartholomew, in association with Lewisohn Brothers of New York, had secured a renewal of the option from the Calumet & Hecla, carrying control of the Seneca Mining Company. It was proposed to form a new company, the Seneca Copper Company, with 250,000 shares, 200,000 shares to be issued at $15 per share. W. J. Uren was named as general manager. On December 23, 1916 the Calumet & Hecla sold its 11,207 shares of Seneca for $60 a share, receiving $672,420. In making this sale, it was stipulated that the other shareholders should receive an offer of $60 a share for their shares, provided they were presented within a reasonable time. Operations at the new Seneca will probably be begun in the spring of 1917 under the direction of W. J. Uren.

Located at the entry-level of Grand Hyatt Nashville, The Continental is a contemporary American restaurant from Chef Sean Brock. The inspiration for this restaurant build-out came from Chef Brock's desire to transport the timeless aesthetic and excellent service from the golden age of hotel restaurants into the present with a decidedly modern twist. The project's scope was a commercial kitchen, two bars, dining areas, and support space. The carefully crafted space is dotted with vivid colors and bold patterns held in harmony by extensive walnut casework and paneling. From the chandeliers to the distinctive red granite bar, everything was custom-made for this unique space. Our team worked with Mobile Fixture on the kitchen and bar design, Southern Lights Electric on the custom light fixtures, and Aberdeen Studio designed and built custom steel and walnut carts used for tableside service. The result is a unique food and beverage experience.
