The position of Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D. within the Marvel Cinematic Universe has long been a bone of contention for fans. Many felt that the first season suffered for its need to hold off on major storylines in deference to movie releases, and the series has struggled to shake off that perception ever since, despite reviews that have grown in praise. Currently in the midst of its second season, however, the tide seems to be turning for Agents Of S.H.I.E.L.D., now that it is laying the groundwork for the planned 2019 Marvel movie, The Inhumans.
In the Marvel comics, the Inhumans are a society of genetically modified beings isolated from the rest of the human race. They were created by the alien Kree who, having observed life on Earth from their base on Uranus, experimented on humanity with a process called Terrigenesis in an attempt to create an enhanced race that could preserve their own future.

It seems like just yesterday I was getting back from San Diego Comic-Con…and now in less than two weeks, heeeeere comes Dragon Con! Another adventure!
Believe it or not, I still have some things to report from Sdcc (yeah, I got a little behind, oops), but even though I’m still catching up from the last con, I’m super looking forward to Dragon Con! Why?
Well, for one thing, Dragon Con is my favorite con for costuming, outside of the Discworld cons. Not only do I get a kick out of costuming myself (as I’ve mentioned here before), but I also love looking at all of the amaaaaaazing costumes other people put together. From a Cylon with a real glowing spine, to an Archchancellor Ridcully with an actual flask in the tip of his pointy hat, to a pair of female “Spy vs. Spy” spies chasing each other around,...

1. It would be carry more weight if the Dragon Con Director of Media Relations would not use the asterisk in his job title.
2.They’d get more search engine optimization if they got rid of the space too.
3. As Patrick Nielsen Hayden pointed out, this is a great way to show that Dragon Con no longer has the asshole.
Here’s the press release:
How to Spell Dragon Con
Dragon Con Now Spelled Without Asterisk
Atlanta, Ga, 2014 – As part of the recently announced merger that created Dragon Con, Inc., we have elected to change the style and spelling of our name. Going forward, the proper style and spelling of the convention is Dragon Con (two words, no asterisk) while the company is Dragon Con, Inc.
We hope that by providing this style note, it will be easier for reporters and editors to write about Dragon Con by eliminating questions about usage.

Six lessons the $10 trillion mutual-fund industry could learn from KaChing.
More than half of all portfolio managers tracked by Morningstar didn't invest in their own funds during the past five years. "How are customers supposed to trust someone who appears to not even trust himself?" asks Dan Carroll, founder of KaChing, a site where professional investors share everything about their portfolios -- including how much of their own money they've put in them -- in hopes that others will pay to mimic their trades. The ideas underpinning the Palo Alto-based company should be copied by the mutual-fund industry. Here are six to start.
1. Reform the Ratings
Rather than focus on past performance -- which, as the commercials always say, doesn't indicate future success -- KaChing employs an algorithm to calculate users' investing IQs, accounting for research quality, ability to stick to strategy, and at least a year's worth of returns.
