The Missouri Senate could vote this month on legislation that would repeal the law that says Mizzou is the exclusive grantor of degrees like medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, law and engineering. A Missouri Senate committee has voted to repeal the law. Missourians for Improving Higher Education co-founder Tom Strong, who's a Mizzou donor, is pushing for repeal. He tells 939 the Eagle's “Wake Up Missouri” that repeal would help students in rural southeast Missouri. Mr. Strong joined us live on "Wake Up" on Wednesday, saying Southeast Missouri State would love to have an engineering program. The University of Missouri opposes the bill. Mizzou vice provost Dr. Jim Spain testified at the Statehouse in Jefferson City recently and joined us live this morning on "Wake Up." Dr. Spain tells listeners that this is about efficiency with the funding that is available. He emphasizes that Mizzou's priority has been on student success. Dr. Spain also says all schools compete for students and emphasizes Mizzou is not against the other schools in question like SEMO or Missouri State:

The Missouri Senate Education Committee has voted to approve legislation that would repeal a law that the University of Missouri be the state's only public research university. State Sen. Lincoln Hough's (R-Springfield) Senate Bill 11 would also repeal the law that says Mizzou is the exclusive grantor of research doctorates and professional degrees like dentistry, law, medicine, optometry, pharmacy and veterinary medicine. It would also repeal the law's provision that says degrees in engineering may only be conferred by Mizzou "or a public institution of higher education in collaboration with the University of Missouri." Missourians for Improving Higher Education co-founder Tom Strong is pushing the bill. Mr. Strong, who graduated from Mizzou's School of Law, joined us live on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" and emphasizes it's not an anti-Mizzou bill. He notes he is a major donor to Mizzou and that his name is on a room at the law school in Columbia. Mr. Strong tells listeners that Senator Hough's bill allows other universities to perform as they can perform. He says Missouri State would love to have an engineering school and a pharmacy school, and that Southeast Missouri State in Cape Girardeau would like to have an engineering school. Mr. Strong says high school students who want to pursue engineering are leaving for other states. He also says students in the Bootheel are closer to Ole Miss in Oxford than they are to Mizzou in Columbia. He's hopeful the bill will pass:

In this episode Tom is Strong and The Flash is on Point, when our heroes discuss Flashpoint and Tom Strong. For once Charles likes an event book (that he suggested) in Flashpoint and Jav changes his tune from the last episode when he horrifically savaged Charles' choice. Charles also really liked Jav's choice of Tom Strong, a comic that was (in Jav & Charles' hackneyed opinion) a love story to the old comics and pulp novels from whence they came. Flashpoint Written by Geoff Johns Art by Andy KubertTom Strong Written by Alan Moore Art by Chris Sprouse

And now a rambling and too brief review of "Tom Strong", the classic adventure series by Alan Moore & Chris Sprouse.

Do Alana Moore'a przylgnęła łatka jednego z najwybitniejszych twórców w historii komiksu i w pełni na nią zasłużył. "Watchmen", "V jak Vendetta" czy jego podejście do "Potwora z Bagien" zmieniły oblicze tego medium, a "Tom Strong" to jedna z bardziej przystępnych pozycji w bogatym dorobku brytyjskiego twórcy. W dwieście dziesiątym odcinku podcastu Nightslime rozmawiamy o stuletnim herosie i jego przygodach przy okazji polskiej premiery drugiego tomu (Egmont/Świat Komiksu).Wyliczamy nawiązania do innych dzieł popkultury obecne na stronach "Toma Stronga", od "Fantastycznej Czwórki" i "The Goon" Erica Powella przez klasyki science-fiction z lat 50. po rodzinę Jetsonów; rozmawiamy o błyskotliwości Moore'a, który potrafi w odniesienia do kultury popularnej swobodnie wpleść Jamesa Joyce'a czy Andrieja Tarkowskiego; o ekranizacjach jego dzieł, które z jednej strony zazwyczaj są rozczarowujące w porównaniu z oryginałem, z drugiej mają wartość rozrywkową i o tym, jak rodzina Strongów sprawdziłaby się na ekranie.Patronami dzisiejszego odcinka są:Paweł Jaksik, Jakub Kraszewski, Marcin Kalinowski, Krzysztof Sieja

Award-winning comic book editor Joe Corallo and comic book super-fan Eric Breen join Wes to talk about the career of legendary writer Alan Moore. Perhaps no other comic writer's work has impacted modern comic more than Alan Moore. From reinventing Swamp Thing, turning superheroes upside-down with The Watchmen and changing Batman lore with a single story The Killing Joke. Moore's legacy at DC Comics speaks for itself. But his body of work also includes V For Vendetta, Miracleman, From Hell, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Tom Strong, Supreme and recent classics like Cinema Purgatorio. Not to mention legendary feuds with DC Comics and writer Grant Morrison. Alan Moore is one of the most influential and complex creators in comic book history.

The COVID-19 pandemic has placed enormous stress on small businesses and their workers, as closures and new public safety measures have demanded that business owners shift operations and take creative steps to keep employees and customers safe. In this extraordinary time, small business owners are increasingly aware that the wellbeing of their employees is essential for business survival – and they are forging new partnerships and taking new approaches to support their workers. Watch this discussion, hosted by the Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program and the National Fund for Workforce Solutions, to learn about strategies that small business owners and workforce organizations can take to strengthen job quality for frontline workers in the wake of COVID-19. In this session, we hear from two restaurant owners in Baltimore, along with a workforce professional who helped them prioritize job quality through the pandemic. The panel features Gayatri Agnew, Senior Director, Opportunity, Walmart.org (opening remarks); Shawn Parker, Co-Owner, Connie's Chicken and Waffles; Laura Wagner, Co-Owner, Well Crafted Kitchen; Allie Busching, Former Business Development Coordinator, Civic Works; Jenny Weissbourd, Senior Project Manager, The Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program (moderator); and Tom Strong, Director of Employer Activation, National Fund for Workforce Solutions (moderator). Baltimore business owners share their experiences operating restaurants during this challenging time. And they explain how and why they chose to partner with Civic Works to invest in their employees as a resiliency strategy. Allie Busching shares her experiences using Pacific Community Ventures' Good Jobs, Good Business toolkit and providing business advising support to Baltimore-based small businesses. This webinar is the eighth in our Job Quality in Practice series. The Job Quality in Practice series is designed to support practitioners across fields – including workforce development, economic development, capital deployment, policy, worker advocacy, and business – to address job quality in their work. Webinars share updates on current conditions and priorities as well as actionable tools and approaches. We also seek to highlight leading practitioners' work and create connections across disciplines.We are grateful to Prudential Financial for its support of our Job Quality in Practice webinar series and our ongoing efforts to advance a job quality field of practice. The Economic Opportunities Program advances strategies, policies, and ideas to help low- and moderate-income people thrive in a changing economy.

Interview with comics artist/writer Jerry Ordway continues! Jerry's been making superhero comics for DC and Marvel for 40 years. He's the guy who made people care about Shazam and the All Star Squadron again. He inked Crisis on Infinate Earths. He's partnered with writers like Alan Moore, Warren Ellis, Michael Moorecock & Neil Gaiman. His essay on age discriminiation in the industry put a name to a significant problem in comics http://ordstersrandomthoughts.blogspot.com/2013/03/life-over-fifty.html In part two of our interview we talk about why we love hand lettering, the nightmare of Superman continuity, how he approached his groundbreaking graphic novel The Power of Shazam, on working with Michael Moorecock on Tom Strong, Warren Ellis on Planetary and creating a Loki story for Neil Gaiman's Norse mythology book!   Whether you're new to Jerry's work or a long time fan you'll learn a ton about the process of inking and drawing comics (traditional and digital), industry history, Alan Moore anecdotes and why he actually likes drawing boats and buildings (and how he does it so darn elegantly). 

Clasicos Modernos del Café: Tom Strong Vol. 1

The latest edition of our audio documentary series focuses on Tiger Woods’s first tournament as a professional, the 1996 Greater Milwaukee Open. But this isn’t a story about what happened on the course. Instead, we dig into the action in the press room, in front of the cameras, and during commercial breaks. It was in those spaces that the public image of Tiger, the myth of him as a professional golfer, began to be invented. And not everything went smoothly at first. This episode features interviews with two-time U.S. Open champion Curtis Strange, Wieden+Kennedy ad man Jim Riswold, GMO tournament director Tom Strong, and journalists Jaime Diaz and Gary D’Amato. It includes music from Tristan Barton, Sebastian Borromeo, D Fine Us, Kevin Graham, Kloyd, and Ian Post (artlist.io), as well as from Kevin McLeod (incompetech.filmmusic.io).

It’s our 2016 Eisner Pre-Show Spectacular! As we gear up for the awards, we take a look at three past winners of the “Best Single Issue” award. Astro City #4 from 1996, Tom Strong #1 from 2000, and Hawkeye #11 from 2014. We also read one of this year’s nominees, Silver Surfer #11, and we would have read them all but indie comics can be hard to find sometimes! We talk about all four of these very different stories and decide if they were indeed worthy of the coveted Eisner award. And we don’t agree!

This week Tobias joins Bruce to talk about Alan Moore's throwback to pulp heroes, Tom Strong. Born in 1900 to ship wrecked parents on the mysterious island of Attabar Teru, Tom was raised in a high gravity chamber on a strict diet of Galoka root. As a result, he had super human strength, reflexes and intellect and became the world's first science hero.

This week Andy and Derek return with another special Publisher Spotlight episode, this one devoted to Vertigo. Although the Two Guys with PhDs demonstrate superhuman abilities when tackling a variety of titles, it's obvious that they cannot cover all of Vertigo's history and output. Instead, they have decided to focus on the most recent wave of comics coming out from the imprint. This includes the many titles that have been released since the summer and in the wake of Karen Berger's departure. Derek and Andy discuss the significance of these latest releases, what they suggest about the possible direction of the imprint, and how these comics fit within the larger history of Vertigo. The recent series that the Two Guys discuss include The Wake, 100 Bullets: Brother Lono, FBP: Federal Bureau of Physics, the new Astro City series, Trillium, Tom Strong and the Planet of Peril, Sandman: Overture, Hinterkind, Coffin Hill, and the new anthology The Witching Hour. They also focus on the narrative trajectories of some of Vertigo's more established series, including the current run of The Unwritten, Fables, and Fairest. Here, they look at The Unwritten/Fables crossover and recent original graphic novels and collections such as The Unwritten: Tommy Taylor and the Ship That Sank Twice, Fables: Werewolves of the Heartland, and the upcoming Fairest in All the Land. As this episode aptly shows, Vertigo is still one of the most exciting places to find cutting-edge comics!

Despite its nefarious subtitle, this week's episode of The Comics Alternative is all-age friendly! In it you'll hear Andy and Derek discuss the shapely offerings in the May Previews catalog. They highlight the various sexy solicits from Dark Horse (Smoke/Ashes, The Best of Milligan and McCarthy, Sin Titulo, and Gamma), curvaceous tomes from DC/Vertigo (Batman '66, Collider, Tom Strong and the Planet of Peril, and The Unwritten: Tommy Taylor and the Ship That Sank Twice), come-hither titles from IDW (The Rocketeer: Hollywood Horror, Rocketeer/The Spirit: Pulp Friction!, Doctor Who, Series III, Vol. 2: The Eye of Ashaya), drool-inducing images from Image Comics (Satellite Sam, Ghoster, Sheltered, Kafka, and Masks and Mobsters), alluring visuals from Abrams (Nathan Hale's Hazardous Tales, Vol. 3: The Donner Dinner Party), exotic bodies of work from Action Lab Entertainment (Molly Danger and Skyward), bodacious books from Boom! Studios (Day Men, Adventure Time: Summer Special, and Adventure Time: Candy Capers), provocative forms from Conundrum Press (Paul Joins the Scouts), voluptuous offerings from Fantagraphics (Child of Tomorrow! and Other Stories, VIP: The Mad World of Virgil Partch, and The Daniel Clowes Reader), seductive stuff from First Second (The Death of Haggard West, Genius, and Templar), inviting packages from Improper Books (Porcelain: A Gothic Fairy Tale), arousing entertainment from Oni Press (Stumptown, Vol 2, and The Strangers), and titillating titles from Top Shelf (Monster on the Hill and God Is Disappointed in You). The Two Guys with PhDs Talking about Comics then go off on a tangent involving racy manga, erotic art, and Internet porn. And they're not proud of that fact. How did they reach this low point?

Once the hard core is shot into the back of your neck, an assassin’s brain waves can be transmitted into your body–circumventing your brain functions–taking complete control of your body. When assassins use this technology–your killer can be anyone; your barber, your neighbor or your wife.
