Testing Group Picks 'College Readiness' Exam
Students will be assessed at end of Algebra 2 or Math 3
Students' "college readiness" in math in 22 states and the District of Columbia will be determined by an end-of-course test in the last of a three-course sequence, a common-standards assessment consortium has decided.
The decision by the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for Colleges and Careers, or PARCC, resolves the question of which tests would be used to decide whether students may skip remedial college mathematics and enroll directly in certain credit-bearing entry-level courses.
PARCC is designing two sets of high school math tests, for traditional or "integrated" course sequences: Algebra 1, geometry, and Algebra 2, and Math 1, Math 2, and Math 3. At a meeting here of its governing board last month, the group decided to base the "college-readiness determination" on students' scores on the Algebra 2 or Math 3 exam.
The tests, now in the design phase, are scheduled to first be given in spring 2015. They are part of a project to create math and English/language arts tests for the Common Core State Standards. All but four states have adopted the ELA standards and all but five the math. PARCC is building tests for its 23 members, and another group of states, the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, is crafting tests for its 25 members. Earlier, PARCC decided that to be deemed college-ready in math or English/language arts, students would have to score at level 4 on a five-level test. The cutoff scores for each level have yet to be determined.
Use of Scores Debated
A special PARCC task force, composed of K-12 and higher education representatives, recommended that the consortium base the college-readiness determination in math on a combination of scores from the three tests in each course sequence. The tests in all six end-of-course exams will include a combination of multiple-choice, short-answer, and performance tasks. The terminal exam in each sequence—Algebra 2 and Math 3—will include two additional performance tasks and draw on knowledge gained in earlier courses.
Thomas Bullock, who coordinates PARCC higher education engagement work in the District of Columbia, told the consortium's governing board that while Algebra 2 is widely considered to be central to success in college, many students do not take it. Combining the results of all three course exams in each sequence would enable a college-readiness determination to be based on "multiple data points," said Mr. Bullock, an assistant professor of math at the University of the District of Columbia.
But Matt Gianneschi, Colorado's deputy executive director of higher education, expressed concern about basing a college-readiness decision in part on courses taken two or three years before college enrollment. He likened the factoring-in of older test scores to basing a college-admission decision on an SAT score from 9th grade.
Richard Freeland, Massachusetts' commissioner of higher education, said he was reluctant to base a college-readiness determination on Algebra 2 or Math 3, noting that many students who don't plan to major in science, technology, engineering, or math may not take such classes in high school.
But James Wright, the director of assessment for the Ohio education department, cautioned against going down that road. It's a "dangerous slope to differentiate" among different types or levels of college readiness in math, he said, when the aim is to assess students against all the common-core standards in math. He noted, however, that the group's math tests will not gauge mastery of the so-called "plus standards," which are designed for students aiming to take more-advanced math courses in college.
'Smarter' Bank of Items
Higher education and K-12 representatives of each PARCC governing state voted to base the college-readiness determination only on the terminal test in each three-course sequence. But they said that tests from the earlier courses could be factored in later if further study suggests it would be of value.
The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium will offer only one summative assessment in high school math, given in 11th grade, and it will "draw on the breadth" of the high school math standards, Shelbi Cole, that consortium's director of math, said in an email. The Smarter Balanced group will also have a secure bank of items that teachers can use to construct optional end-of-course tests, she said.

Q&A With "Remember to Forget" Author Deborah Raney
- Staff Christianbook.com
- 2007 10 Apr
In "Remember to Forget" (Clayburn Novels Series #1" from Howard Books), author Deborah Raney tells the story of graphic designer Maggie Anderson who is stranded a hundred miles away from her abusive New York City boyfriend after a terrifying car-jacking. She impulsively heads west, stumbling upon tiny Clayton, Kansas, where she arrives without cash or a past – or so she thinks.
Deborah says that the basic theme of "Remember to Forget" – and of all of her books – is that God is a redeemer. "He can take the worst situation and turn it into something good. We don't always see what that good is on this side of Heaven. But we can trust that he will somehow take even the really rotten things in our lives and bring some good from them.
"No matter how hard I try to write a book with a different message than that, it always seems to come back around to that."
In this interview, Deborah discusses the symbolism in "Remember to Forget," plans for the rest of the titles in this series and who has influenced her the most in her writing. …
What led you to become a CBA author?
You know, I actually wrote two versions of my first novel – one for the secular market and one for CBA. I ended up with contract offers from both, but in the end, I knew that I wanted to always be free to "give the reason for the hope" within me – Jesus Christ. I knew that might not be the case with secular publishers, and I've been happily writing Christian fiction since.
How did you come up with the concept for "Remember to Forget"?
When I was on a tight deadline a couple of years ago, my husband surprised me with a two-day writing getaway at a charming small-town inn in Lindsborg, Kansas. The first morning, I got up and took an early morning walk around the little town and thought about what a pleasant, nurturing place a rural town is to live. One thought lead to another, and before I knew it, I was back in my cozy room working on the synopsis for "Remember to Forget" (instead of the book I was on deadline with!)
But the story really struck a chord with me, and as I played with the idea, I realized my story of a young woman in desperate need of a new chance at life was really the story of every Christian. The allegorical elements of the novel plunked into place like pieces in a puzzle and I could hardly wait until I could flesh the story out. I'm so excited that it has now come to life with a wonderful publisher like Howard Books/Simon & Schuster!
Is any part of "Remember to Forget" factual?
In a sense, all my books have some factual basis because I write about life in a small town. I grew up on a farm in Kansas and since my marriage have lived mostly in small Kansas towns. It's a wonderful, amazing place to grow up and raise a family. I think there's something special and healing about the deep sense of community you find in such a place. So those elements of my stories are taken straight from real life. But all the other details – Meg's search for someone to love her and someone to love in return; Trevor's tragic loss and his amazing gift of forgiveness – those are from my imagination, yet reflections of many truths this life holds for believers in the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
How closely is this "Remember to Forget" based on your life?
Only in the sense that I grew up in rural Kansas and now live the joyous life of a small-town girl. Everything else – as in most of my novels – is created from the rich imagination with which God has gifted me.
How long did "Remember to Forget" take you to complete?
It usually takes me anywhere from four to nine months to finish a novel. It's difficult to say exactly because so often I get just a few chapters into a new book, and I receive the substantive edit or copyedits from the last book. So I'll have to put the new novel aside for a few weeks while I work to polish the other one. But in a way, that works well, since I can come back to the newest story with a fresh perspective, and usually having learned something from the editing process. There is a lot of "dovetailing" of tasks in a writing career.
What is the symbolism for the title, "Remember to Forget"?
There is a line in the book that says "But if Maggie were going to survive here, she had to remember to forget everything about her old life." Maggie is escaping an abusive boyfriend for a chance at a fresh start, but in order to do so, she must – as Philippians 3:13 says, "forget the past and look forward to what lies ahead." It's good advice for all of us who've claimed new life in Christ!
Do you have a favorite character? Why?
Probably Jake/John Brighton, the hero of "A Vow to Cherish," my first novel I imagine he's my favorite because he was inspired by my own sweet husband and my wonderful father – two of the godliest, most amazing men you'll ever meet. Real life heroes in my eyes.
How much research did "Remember to Forget" take?
The early parts of the book took much more research, because, although my husband and I lived in New York for two years early in our marriage, it's been quite a while since we spent any time there, so I had a lot of details to research about that locale. While Maggie is on the run, there are many questions I didn't know the answer to – can a person buy a bus ticket without photo ID post 9/11? How far would news reports of a "typical" New York carjacking reach? How long would it take to get from Maggie's apartment in the city to a certain bus station in New Jersey? Etc. Once the story moved into Clayburn, Kansas, I was on familiar territory and the research took a backseat. (Clayburn is a fictional town, but it's a composite of several small towns I've lived in and loved.)
How many titles will be in this series?
There are three planned right now. "Leaving November" will come out next year and continues the story of Jackson Linder, the owner of Clayburn's little art gallery. I've fallen in love with Jack and Vienne's story and can't wait to see how things turn out for them!
Book 3 is tentatively titled "Yesterday's Embers." Some days I have to remind myself that Clayburn isn't a real place!
Do you prefer to write contemporary fiction?
Definitely! I wrote a historical novella a few years ago and was very pleased with the way it turned out, but oh! The research involved! Besides, I just seem to have a better voice for contemporary stories, and I find the social and emotional issues people face today fascinating to explore.
What are some of the challenges you face as an author?
I am the world's worst procrastinator. Some days it's late afternoon before I write the first word! It's not that I'm not doing worthwhile, writing-related things, but I seem to have trouble just getting in gear and putting my nose to the manuscript grindstone. Along with that, it's a huge challenge to work from home. There are so many distractions vying for my attention, and always a doorbell or telephone ringing.
Are there any other new projects on the horizon?
Next month I'll begin work on a novella for an anthology called "Missouri Memories," about the families that inhabit a wonderful old house through the generations. My story will be set in the Vietnam era, the latter years of which I grew up during. It should be an interesting project and will be out in December of this year.
Who was the person who influenced you the most with your writing?
I'd have to say it was my mother. She instilled a love for story and a respect for all things literary – poetry, books, libraries – and she read to me nearly every day of my life. To this day, she and my dad are two of my greatest encouragers and read and give input on every manuscript – usually before it ever goes to my editors.
What advice would you give to a person trying to become a fiction writer?
The most important thing I could say is to read and read and read some more. Read in the genre you would like to write. Then, read books on the craft of writing. How I wish I'd done that in the beginning! I honestly wasn't even aware there were such books available when I began! But I'd have saved myself so much time and so many mistakes had I heeded that one simple word of advice.
What message would you like your readers to take away from "Remember to Forget"?
We have all been given the amazing opportunity for a fresh start and a new life in Christ. No matter what we've done or what we've been, Jesus came to give us a brand new life, to make us a brand new creation. All we have to do is accept His gift.
What is your goal or mission as a writer?
My goal is first to entertain. I want to tell a story that will draw the reader into a fascinating world of new possibilities. And once they're there, I want them to be strengthened to face the difficulties in their own lives, I want them to learn more about the nature of a loving God, and I want them to know hope for the future through Him.

Supplier collaboration is vital to position key suppliers as an extension of the organization. Partial outsourcing of the supply chain over a period of time has made it increasingly difficult for some organizations to maintain control over the ecosystem. In the past, when most production was performed within the enterprise, managers had good visibility into production and the short-term flexibility to deal with supply chain challenges. Now however, they require the development of a trustworthy relationship with partners, a communications infrastructure capable of supporting secure information transfer, and means to increase visibility and regain control.
Supplier collaboration in the Cloud is the communication vehicle for transactions between the supply chain processes, systems and partners. It eliminates printing, mailing, emailing and faxing of purchase orders and future demand reports, and reduces conversations around these transactions. It provides partners in the ecosystem with a mechanism to collaborate without the need to invest in substantial infrastructure set-up costs. A service provider may develop a platform and make it available to members on a pay-per-use model. Aside from the benefit of not having to invest in the infrastructure upfront, cloud based applications also offer the capability to access distributed information.
This webcast will focus on the benefits of supplier collaboration, including the ability to reduce inventory, increase manufacturing schedule adherence, and gain sourcing leverage through combining spend across facilities. The webcast will also explore how working more collaboratively with key remote suppliers can enable the organization to make faster, better decisions.

Removal of Data from Electronic Media
The Commonwealth's Standard for Removal of Data from Electronic Media (pdf) requires that all data on computers and other electronic devices be erased or rendered inaccessible by destruction of the media. The standard stipulates that when data is erased from electronic devices it must be done in accordance with the Department of Defense's standard for data wiping. Information Technology provides services in support of William & Mary's departmental compliance with the standard.
IT takes full responsibility for the removal of data from electronic equipment leased through the university's Equipment Service Program (ESP). This includes completing the form required by Property Control to verify the data has been removed. For ESP computers, no action is required by individual departments.
If a department plans to surplus purchased electronic equipment, IT will lend out a utility known as Killdisk, along with complete instructions for using the software. Departments are responsible for setting up the units and running the software. This software has been tested and verified and will erase all data in accordance with the Department of Defense standard required by the Commonwealth. The form required by Property Control for pick up and transfer to surplus is the department's responsibility.
IT has a 'degausser.' A degausser will erase all data to the Department of Defense standard but will also render the hard drive useless for the future. Departments have two options for degaussing hard drive. First, IT will degauss hard drives for a cost of $25.00 per hard drive. Departments are responsible for removing the hard drive from the computer and bringing it to the Technology Support Center for degaussing. Second, departments can schedule a time with the Technology Support Center to use the degausser to wipe the drive themselves. The support center will provide training and advise the department representative on the proper process.
If a department chooses to destroy the electronic media rather than erase the data, they must do so at their own discretion and are still responsible for completing the form required by Property Control.

Internet Explorer Still Cannot Be Removed From Windows
2007-01-11 Internet Explorer 128 Comments
Groklaw has an article arguing that Microsoft has not yet complied with the DOJ order that users must be able to remove Internet Explorer from Windows. "So he explained the blue and white screens of death, what a dual boot startup is, commingling code, and then tying or bundling, specifically tying Internet Explorer with the operating system. He explained how you can't use Add/Remove to get IE or Media Player off your hard drive, but that you can use SPAD, 'set program access and defaults', to choose Firefox or another browser as your default browser instead of IE. However, IE remains on your hard drive."

All-Star Game Tonight!
Hope you'll be tuning in tonight to the All-Star Game. Kemp batting third and playing CF with Kershaw and Ethier ready to contribute and hopefully extend the NL's "winning streak."
Matt had a tough time last night at the Home Run Derby, hitting just two longballs and both came with nine "outs" already but it seems he enjoyed it quite a bit and hopefully he's saving his pop for the second half of the season.

Hey Josh – What is it with Ned and acquiring crappy players named Juan?
HIlarious post over at MSTI
They are hilarious today!!
Hey Scott! Had to find another outlet for my sarcasm and biting criticism since they screwed up the L.A. Times blog (just when I was winning some hearts and minds too!)
I read all those every day, but I only post on MSTI. Keep up the fight!
Yeah, the Times made it so you HAVE to have a facebook account or you can't post. Ergo, they lost almost all of the people that were posting before the switch, and I so loved getting into it with those that didn't think Ned was a moron.
Hey Ned, you let X.Paul go because why?
Obviously Ned felt the need to go out and justify Frank's vote of confidence…
You have to admit, Ned sure knows how to pull off a surprise now and then. Now if that isn't a perfect opening for some spicy replys….
Good evening Dodger Fans!
Being as long as it's been since there was an All Star Game at the ravine (1980), it makes me wonder how long before the next one there is? I believe it's sceduled to be in Kansas City next year. . .
WTF Berkman?! Gotta stay in contact with the bag!
Damn! Fielder's not known for the glove is he?
Nice throw from Pence!
Yeah, Matt!!!!!
Beer! It's what's for dinner!
Guess that makes up for the error, huh?
Yep! I retract my previous trembling temblor statement. LOL
Woo hoo! Fielder atones for his poor defense!
I dunno about that third strike to Big Papi . . but glad Kersh got the K.
Nice play by Votto, too
Nice job Kersh!
Here's Dre – great applause!
Andre even does it in the All Star Game!
Dre delivers!
Well, looks like Kersh should be pretty fresh for his next start with Jurrjens taking over.
Proud of our Dodger players representing at the ASG!! All three of them have contributed to this lead so far. GO NL!!!!
Buck & McCarver are talking potential trades & moves like there's a crystal ball in the broadcast booth. . .
They probably read Bleacher Report, vl.
Loooking goood!
Anyone else think Bochy may be using his nut Wilson next?
Oh yeah, no doubt.
Hmmmn! Maybe not with Hanrahan warming up.
I don'y want to see Wilson either! He takes being the strange, off the wall nut job to a whole nother level! That beard is just too much. It looks like a wild critter latched on to his ugly mug!!
At least all our guys were able to play and did it well.
Hanrahan is like a younger version of Gagne.
You're right, Tru, as usual. And here comes the "unique" Wilson into the game. I don't know about anyone else, but when I look up "weirdo" in my dictionary, his picture is right there.
Unique? Yeah right!!! They should cue up "People are Strange" by the Doors when he comes out of the pen. .
How many people want Wilson to blow it here? 😈
NorCal'll do that to you…
Glad the NL won.
Two in a row!
If I were Karros, I would have slapped the beard off his face after that hair statement!
I'd have pulled it out by the roots – that was downright rude.
Don't forgot Travon Robinson had a tough time himself in the minor league AS homerun derby.
K-Rod traded to the Brewers…
Good to see our guys contribute.
Nice post recap of the AS game on TBLA some long drought has been broken.
I see Frank's trying to inflate the attendance numbers again. I'm sure all of you got the email about mini U storage – rent a unit, get free tickets. Now Frank can count the block of tickets he sold to Mini U (at a SUBSTANTIAL discount I'm sure) as paid attendance.
It ain't fooling anyone Frank. All one has to do is look at the stands to know what REAL attendance is.
Oh, and thank your buddy Ned for getting us another loser OFer that was DFA'd by another team, although I have to say, we're moving up on the quality of team we're picking up our DFAs from – Toronto 45-47, very impressive. Remind Ned that the PTBNL should be Sands or Gordon. That would make it all extra special.
PS – sorry about the FOX money running out already. I mean shoot, you still have 2 1/2 months of season to go. Maybe you can have a player car wash. From what I've seen, you have plenty of room in the parking lot now.
An interesting comment by one of the all stars slated to be a free agent this winter. Said he'd consider the Dodgers, but would have to wait to see if they kept Kemp and Ethier.
Keeping those two plus Billingsley and the Kid are is a no brainer. I do not think I'd be in a hurry to let Loney go either. We've got bigger problems than James to tend to.
Griz, this is what happens when you try and build a team from without instead of within – no continuity in personnel from year to year and hole after hole to patch. Ned's constant roster turnover (generally 50% of the 25 man) and patchwork will NEVER breed a perennial contender. They might get lucky like in '08 & '09, but there will be far more '10s and '11s. You reap what you sew. Screw the kids for worthless vets – its the wrong way. Its Ned's way.
Beav, it's true too many of our kids have been sent down the road for people just passing through. Looks like we'll have to go after some free agents to compete, though. If we can, that is.
I'm thinking we'd be way better off biting the bullet and sucking for 2-3 years while building back up the minor league system again. Look at Ned's signing's vs. Logan's (frighteningly they number about the same each year and how many rounds are there in the draft?) The only continuity we've had since Ned got here are Logan's boys, and Ned's managed to run off a lot of those – Martin, LaRoche, DeWitt, Paul… If he'd have stayed with them rather than Barajas, Blake, Uribe and the LFer du jour, I guarantee we'd be better off now.
Everyone's thinking too small, especially the protesters.
July 9th, you know what I saw? Nothing, they blocked out the Battle For Fourth Place up here in NorCal.
From the videos I saw, though, I saw a lot of coverage of an empty Dodger Stadium, and sparse coverage of a sparsely attended protest.
You did it all wrong, people. You had a golden opportunity, and blew it.
The answer was simple, though kinda tough to chew, I know.
We'll call it "The Last Dance", or "The Last Dime", if Robbie Robertson is as sue-happy as Frank. Look at the calendar, see if there's another Nationally Televised game. Protestors, spend your last money on the McCourt Dodgers for tickets. StubHub if you can, to not add to "paid attendance", but fill that stadium up as much as you can with as many people in on it, the last Dodger fan money McCourt'll ever get en masse.
Waiting for the date to drop, start a group page on Facebook or whatever. Coordinate chants to chant during the game "GET LOST FRANKIE! :clap clap, clap-clap-clap:" "BACK TO BOSTON :clap clap, clap-clap-clap:" "FRANKIE'S BANKRUPT :clap clap, clap-clap-clap:" and PLENTLY, PLENTY of "LET'S GO DODGERS :clap clap, clap-clap-clap:". No profanity in the chants, just a concerted effort to show a stadium filled with Dodger Fans shouting down Frank McCourt in all fairness, Showing we're tired, and we're done, and we're willing to make the sacrifice of padding his wallet one last time to show the nation that we love our team, and we don't want this joke of an owner.
The TV cameras can't filter out the chants. And the nation will have no doubt that Frank McCourt, in our hearts, is as divorced from the Dodgers as he is from Jamie.
The message: We're still here, we've been here all along, and you're the reason we've been staying away, and should you remain until your bitter end, you're the reason we will be staying away.
Disjointed, unorganized comments around the internet are nothing. A Sold-Out Dodger Stadium telling Frank McCourt where he can shove it is a bit more undeniable.
If only, Tru. I could help, but I wouldn't be able to make it. Maybe I just need to talk to the right people? I just don't want it to turn into the DNC in Chicago circa 1968 if people start… you know, taking matters into their own hands with the chants.
But they can't kick everyone out, right?
Unfortunately IMO, if Frank hasn't gotten the message by now, he never will. What's worse however is that I believe he has (how could he not?) and obviously doesn't care. Then again, he never has. Starving him of every last dime is the only way. He's already got Bud, Jamie, public opinion and the press against him. Where the protests need to be now is against the people and institutions that keep loaning him money.
NSB, great posts as usual but I agree with Beav that Frank obviously does not care what anyone thinks about him. He is a stubborn egotistical sort who has to win no matter the cost. If he really cared about his legacy and his sons, he would find a way out of this mess. But he long ago sold his soul to the devil and as long as there is a lender out there willing to give Frank money, this thing will go on forever. Someone should have closed his purse strings a long time ago.
Players Union, Injured Fan on Dodgers Credit Committee
The credit committee includes:
1) The Players Union
2) Representatives of Bryan Stow
4) AVM Systems [who does what?], and
5) Pyro Events Inc
I'm guessing the last one does the fireworks for Frankie. Too bad that the fireworks bring fans in, but Frankie can't afford to pay the fireworks company.
I believe AVM Systems is a company that provides data on baseball players. This is according to a search that led to a page out of the book, Moneyball (which has been made into a movie). If so, either the Dodgers ignored much of that data or rightfully declined payment for bad information.
Pyro Events ought to plant one of their big ones right up Frank's you know what.
Good call Bear!!
(I'm guessing the chauffeur already did the same to Jamie.)
Where the sun doesn't shine.
Tru, understandable since the day after the All Star game is usually the worst day of the year for sports fans, especially baseball fans as there usually are no games to watch or follow.
Who gives a flying focaccia about Frank McCourt? The guy has less brains than Mike Rotch.
The stadium protest would show two main things:
1.) That the decrease in Dodger Stadium attendance has nothing to do with the economy, and everything to do with the jerk in power.
2.) That "bloggers" may be easy to ignore and dismiss, but potential paying customers, in person, airing grievances have more power than anything that was ever said in any blog's comment section or main posts.
Also, I'd imagine it'd be a invigorating, cathartic experience to a fanbase who, by leaving empty seats, are somewhat quietly taking it as Frank's giving it.
Plus, if you're StubHubbing it, you're not giving Frank any money he doesn't already have. You're not adding anymore to paid attendance.
Every time you post on this official Dodgers site, I'm sure Frank gets paid somehow, if only a dime. And even if it's only a penny, this blog is so filled with comments, people have to search for threads half a decade old to comment.
The only way to send a message to this guy is by embarrassing the hell out of him in public, the same way he has shamed each and every one of us. There's strength in numbers, you know.
When I think of your plan, I think of when I was at a game when Andruw Jones came up to bat. By the resonating boos throughout DS, there is no doubt he heard those. So, if the same thing were to happen with Frank, I think the worst that would happen is the players would understand that the staying away has nothing to do with them and everything to do with Frank. A national TV audience to show a stadium full of disgusted fans does have it's positives.
But North, even using stub hub those people gotta park and inevitably buy sodas, hot dogs and the like, all of which puts money directly into Frank's pocket. If an empty ballpark doesn't embarrass him, nor Simers, nor having to declare bankruptcy, nor a million other things, a full house chanting down with McCourt isn't going to. With all that he's said and done already, nothing is ever going to embarrass Frank. He knows why the ballpark's empty even though he won't admit it. The public though isn't fooled into thinking its the economy or lack of security (well, maybe 12 people in Florida might be, but its pretty apparent to the rest of the world.) He's fully aware that public opinion is against him and he just doesn't give a damn. Narcissistic personalities like Frank will never cede to shame or embarrassment or public pressure. Its just not in them to care about that. Frank's all about Frank and to be all about Frank is to be all about money. That's all he's ever cared about, all he cares about now, and all he ever will care about. So boycott his enablers and they will go away. Dry up the cash and Frank will be forced to go away too.
I'm there with you in sentiment though, we all want Frank to know we consider him a low-life good for nothing money grubbing lying cheating cretin.
Knowing and experiencing are two different things.
I know the Giants fans hate Dodger fans.
I go to a gas station in an LA Dodgers hat after 8pm, and I experience it.
(If I go out in Brooklyn stuff, most people are too dumb to make the association)
It might not change his mind, but like I said, it's not for Frank.
When the Dodgers left Brooklyn in 1957, it was complicated. A perfect storm of events that led one of the flagship franchises of baseball, the Brooklyn Base Ball Club, to leave the only home they ever knew, where they shared a stone clubhouse that was used by General George Washington to plan the Battle of Brooklyn in the Revolutionary War. Walter O'Malley, a lawyer, had his vision of where to move the club from an aging Ebbets Field, but that didn't fit in the vision of Robert Moses and NYC at large. But the Dodgers are from Brooklyn, and had been looooooooooong before it became a borough of New York City. It wasn't really a New York City ballclub, it was always a Brooklyn ballclub. Robert Moses was going to take that away from them and doom them to an existence in Flushing Queens at the Shea Stadium site, and in a Pyrrhic blaze of glory, O'Malley decided that if Brooklyn couldn't have the Dodgers, then New York City couldn't have them either.
Also, one of the main talking points around the mid '50s, from what I've read, is that the fabric of Brooklyn itself was changing. After the war, the Brooklynites that had been there for decades and decades were moving to Long Island, and immigrants from Puerto Rico and other nations were moving there in their place. I've read an account where, in the mid 50's, some "immigrant youths" would urinate in bottles, and throw them on the field. the Dodgers, a tight-knit team where many of the players lived within blocks of Ebbets Field, were watching their city change around them. When the Brooklyn Dodgers played their last games, it was to a sea of empty seats.
I read the echoes in today's newspaper.
We have a guy owning the team who is well versed in Law, and exploiting it in a fight with Baseball at large, and, probably soon, the city itself. A guy who has, whatever the reason, as solid a spine as O'Malley ever did when it comes to backing down from figures who hold authority over him.
We have a changing demographic of Dodger fans ethnically, and you don't have to look far in comments sections to read the kind of sawed-off, racially tinged comments about how Dodger fans are only Mexicans, and the Mexicans are the problem, morons who can't distinguish between a racial distinction and jerks who make bad decisions who happen to be that color. "Who cares?" the comments read, "Only Mexicans like the Dodgers… [insert racist comments about Mexicans and their children here]"
We have an uncertain future for Chavez Ravine, and empty seats, to the bottom line, show a public apathetic to that team, whatever the reason.
The Dodgers are not Los Angeles', they are Major League Baseball's. And Major League Baseball is being run by a guy who doesn't know sheet from shinola, the only guy on planet Earth who didn't think McCourt would have the gall to declare bankruptcy before payroll came up on the 30th.
What has been done cannot be undone, and for whatever reason, people might not like what the Dodgers become post McCourt. "Anyone but FOX. ANYONE but Rupert Murdoch.". Remember that? (and may I say that it's nice to see that fatcat taking a nosedive).
The Dodgers were in one of baseball's flagship cities (Brooklyn, not NYC), two years removed from their first World Series Championship when they moved.
Whatever they are today, they're not either of those things.
And as empty the confidence I have in Frank McCourt, I have even less in Bud Selig to get ANYTHING done. He's more destructive to the sport of baseball than McCourt has been to the fabric of the Dodgers, I must admit. A fabric that was already torn by the time McCourt showed up.
The protest would be about showing the Dodgers that we care.
It's not about Frank McCourt, though, like I said, I'd love him to experince the vitrol people have for him.
Parking's the only money he'd have to get from us. Eat before the game, people!!! And there's water fountains all over the stadium, far more healthy than soda. And free, except for the water fees Frank McCourt would have to pay 😈
The protest would be about not lying down and taking it. Not letting Frank McCourt become bigger than the Dodgers (which is EXACTLY WHAT THE BOYCOTT IS DOING), but divorcing Frank McCourt from the Dodgers. It would be about Dodger Fans taking their team back, throwing McCourt the last chump change he'll ever see from true-blue Dodger fans. It would show the players on the field that our passion is still there.
It's about throttling McCourt not to the death, but to the pain (for those who've seen "The Princess Bride"). Our anti-McCourt chants the last thing he hears before he's laughed out of relevancy.
If others want to make Frank McCourt bigger than the Dodgers, let them.
It ain't me. I wouldn't go down in silence.
I'd be kinda scared of a flash mob on the field. The field belongs to the players.
I'm not interested in getting to the point where protesters would be arrested en masse. I would go for quite the opposite: To take the stadium back for fans, so it can return to a place parents can bring their kids and bring them up as Dodger fans.
A flash mob would be quite the opposite, and in order to even have a chance of pulling that off, all the participants would have to buy the most expensive tickets in the park, or have big enough hops to jump the outfield wall from the Pavillion.
Also, I wouldn't trust all of Los Angeles on the field with our Dodgers, or the Giants/Padres/whoever they're playing. Too much room for tragedy.
Again, I can empathize with the sentiments, but the only benefit I can see is that it may be cathartic for a few thousand fans.
The bottom line is, Frank doesn't care how or why your inside his stadium, all that matters is that you are inside his stadium. Pushing up attendance in any way, shape, or form Frank benefits, if only to look good to creditors and the bankruptcy court. That's why they're deeply discounting tickets now – anything to get you there. Love him, hate him, shout him down, Frank still makes that deposit the next day.
As for the practical accounting, let's say 35000 seats are already bought and paid for. That's going to leave 21000 people that have to pay full price to whatever section. Very few people are going to park outside the stadium and hoof it in, especially if its hot. Even if 1/2 the people eat before they come to the park, that's still 28000 buying food and drink, and I'll go even further and say half that ate beforehand will at least buy a coke.
Starve him of his lifeblood – money. Its the only thing he understands.
Marlins close upper deck for remaining home games
Is this headline in the Dodgers' future? It could certainly happen next year if McCourt is still the owner that long.
Too bad that the Dodgers are not in town this weekend during the 405 shutdown. That would shrink the crowd even more so. But I'm sure LA planned the 405 shutdown for a weekend when both the Dodgers and the Angels are out of town. Me too – I'm not planning to be anywhere near LA this weekend – it'll be a zoo.
WTF – What is Ned Colletti thinking? Check out his quote from Gurnick's article yesterday.
"That said, we need to execute better in the second half and gain the confidence that we can, and we'll be in buying mode at the [Trade] Deadline, as usual. I'm still confident we can make a run, pick up a game a week and be in a decent spot. We still have a load of games in the division."
Can we strike against Colletti? Is there some way that Selig can avert this disaster before Colletti gives away Dee Gordon, Jerry Sands, Rubby De La Rosa, and anyone else of value under the age of 25? Colletti will want to pick up some more PVL's aged 36 to 42 so that we finish 72-90 rather than 71-91.
If this is allowed to happen, the rebuilding of this storied franchise is likely to take 7-10 years rather than 3-5 years. ARRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I wouldn't expect anything less from Neddy. You can't fix stupid.
I'll be rooting for the Snakes this weekend. Maybe I'm dreaming, but if we can string together that six-game losing streak starting tomorrow, just maybe that will kick Ned out of the buying mode.
Everytime I read about Colletti slamming the team for underperformance and we should be okay if we play better and make a few changes, I think of the line in the movie "The Hangover" – "You are literally too stupid to insult". That is how I feel. I think Ned can't possibly do anymore damage to this team, but he never fails to provide us with more of his idiotness. And there are fans out there who actually are mad at the players (Andre being one of them) for "thinking" of greener pastures. Hell, even the fans are thinking it for them.
All Ned need do to find a reason this team is where it is, is look in the mirror. Not once have I ever heard him say he put together a bad team or a bad deal or made a bad sign. Now he's blaming this year on injuries. This team was ill conceived from the start and it was apparent to a majority that it was doomed before the season ever began.
Let's see….
Infield – oft-injured Furcal @ ss, old man Blake @ 3b, Giants re-tread Uribe @ 2b, powerless Loney @ 1b – check.
catcher – Strikeout king Barajas and no-hit wonder Navarro – check.
LF – ?????????????? check. Only two solid players in the lineup in March were Kemp and Ethier.
Starting pitching – pretty good.
Bullpen – Headliners of Broxton (was broken last year), Kuo (the always fragile), and Belisario (remember in March they were still expecting him to come?). check.
Yup, comparing July back to March yields no surprises whatsoever.
That's about the size of it STT. No surprises. The biggest surprise would have been if this team had actually played above .500 and stayed in contention. It's not even surprising that Ned is blaming it on injuries and not taking any of the responsibility for his bad signings and trades. He is an idiot and continues to reaffirm that fact when he talks about this team still having a shot and being a buyer. His total ineptness is being overshadowed by the McCourt debacle. Ned would actually look a whole lot better and it would help his reputation more if he just admitted that this team is bad and went to work on actually fixing it instead of continuing to do what has not worked and left the team in its current state. C'mon Ned, we know you can make bonehead moves to bring in worthless players that won't benefit the team. You need to show us and the baseball world that you can come up with some creative and sensible solutions that will actually help the team going forward(2012, 2013). 2011 is lost. You are going to need that on your resume if you ever hope to get another job once your narcissist enabler is gone and your ineptness is not overshadowed by his vanity and greed.
Think we have to face facts – this franchise is dead as long as Frank & Furter are in charge. One doesn't care and the other is dumber than dog shit. Whatever they do, it always makes the club go backwards. Its to the point where I'd almost like them to totally destroy it so that Frank ends up with nothing. I'd take an expansion team over this mess any day.
Congrats to Matt, Andre, and Clayton. WTG!! You made me/us proud at the ASG.
Yes, Wally, a bright moment in an otherwise dull season for the Dodgers. Was it just a year ago that Broxton had to hang on to save the All Star game?
I guess it was only a year ago. Sure seems like alot longer.
Fighting for last place will to that to you.
I can't understand why MLB is trying to knock itself out by providing an alternative debtor financing plan for Frank that is so much less expensive than what Frank has been able to secure himself, and even offering it without taking any security. Why not let Frank just sink under his debt load. They're not going to play nice together anyway. But then again it's MLB, which is probably as screwed up as Frank anyway.
Somebody needs to push Frank in front of a bus – enough of the nice guy stuff. If Frank and Ned aren't gone by the end of the season, I'm really going to get nasty.
Bear, Frank is smart and shrewd. My guess is he does not want the MLB deal because doing so gives MLB a more powerful position, perhaps even putting someone from MLB in a management position that had some teeth to it. The third party lender can get away with charging high fees and interest because of the risk it is taking. I don't think Frank really cares about the high fees or interest. He does not seem to pay anything back anyway and clearly he is still holding out for the golden parachute a media deal would give him. MLB is not trying to help McCourt but to put him in a weaker position.
I hope you're right. I could understand the MLB financing if they made a condition that MLB be allowed a trustee to supervise the whole deal and how the funds are spent.
It is my understanding that if the judge chooses to accept the MLB debtor in place loan instead of Franks PayDay loan, then MLB will be in a better position to seize the team and sell it. Or at least have more say in how the money is used. Also, the loan from the hedge fund is secured against Dodger property and assets. If Frank defaults, the lender would seize that property and sell it to recoup their money. Much like when Fox took the Boston parking lot that Frank used to help buy the Dodgers and didn't repay the loan it was used to secure.
This is probably the information from MLBs investigation into Franks tangled web of spin off corporations to siphon money into his personal bank accounts.
The league also asked Thursday for court permission to file its objections to McCourt's plan under seal, claiming the league would include "sensitive commercial information" about the Dodgers' finances that could "harm the [Dodgers'] economic interests."
Remember, Frank still has to deal with Jamie at some point. She is sitting back quietly waiting for her big payday. Frank has no security against her claims should she prevail in the dispute over assets. The lawyers are the only ones who win.
As to comments made above by NSB about trying to embarrass Frank. If dragging your family, including your sons, into a public battle and airing out all your dirty laundry is not enough, I doubt there is is much left. Frank and Jamie should be ashamed.
I have to agree with you Birky. The attorneys and Jamie are in no lose positions. Also, Frank is incapable of remorse or shame. He would not be phased by a packed stadium of fans with anti McCourt signs and chants. He'd probably be somewhere else laughing it off while he counted their money.
It will be great some day to just talk baseball again. Have a great evening.
Yes it will!!!!
Well speak of the devil… the more you get to know Frank, the more you hate his guts:
As far as I'm concerned, the only thing left of the Dodgers is the name. Everything else that was once the great franchise has been raped and plundered. I'm all for letting Frank have this mess, and the stadium, and the land, and the parking lot and going after an expansion franchise. Build a downtown stadium, call them the Stars and have at it in 2015 or 16.
New Topic: Which will run out first – Frank's calendar or the Mayan calendar?
Walked in a run!! Unbelievable how lucky the gnats are.
And yes, it's torture having to watch/hear it. It doesn't matter where I am in the house. It's very clear what is happening in the game.
Dang that was freaking crazy how Gregerson walk 3 Giants and his big errors cost that teams 5 runs.
Maybe the Cubs need some bullpen help lol.
Look like there going to be a big milestone for the Braves later today and if they win there would be the 5th teams in history to win 10,000 games.
I remember when Nelly used to have the name tradejuanpypaperbag.
id lock up Kemp, Martin, Loney, Ethier, Bills and Kershaw right now for the next 10
By email@example.com on September 6, 2008 4:19 pm
jungar – I really hope they do. That would at least show some intent on the direction management is going with this team for the future.
By tradejuanpypaperbag on September 6, 2008 4:22 pm
Nelly, our management has set us back 2 years!!!!
By jhallwally on September 6, 2008 6:11 pm
jhall ~ I know -Even if the Dodgers manage to pull this off, they still have some major issues with JP, Andruw, Schmidt and their contracts just to name a few.

I wonder what fabulous prizes will be given out this year at Fan Apreciation day? If I were Frank I'd cancel it! I dont think free nosebleed tickets like last year are what the fans had in mind.
Remember those days not so long ago when there were boats and cars given away? When the stadium was still sparkling with fresh paint, no billboards other than the two plex circles atop the two outfield scoreboards? Union 76 and Coca Cola. It was classy and clean.
Have you seen the yellowed clear coats of old paint over the dugouts? Maintenance is shameful these days.
Obviously, I've spent my entire life going to Dodger stadium. I live in Orange County five miles from Angel Stadium…what to do ? I would have driven the 35 miles to catch a game, than be in my own backyard going to Angel games.
Maybe, I'll have try and find some passion for the Angels…after all the players dont feel loyalty. Eithier has already stated a desire to sign somewhere else. What is it I'm holding on to ? Maybe its Just Vin Scully and I would be really surprised if he makes it back.
YOU KNOW..there a train from Anaheim stadium that goes directly to to Petco Field…Hmmnnn. What to do?…
I said this on Facebook and I will say this here. I have not read a single quote from Andre himself saying he doesn't want to play for the Dodgers. Unknown sources and trade rumors are all rumors, nothing else. Andre not knowing where he will be next season is different than saying he doesn't want to be here. His "so-called" desire to play for the Red Sox is coming from the Red Sox camp (fans, writers). His desire to play for the Dbacks is nothing new, and he himself said when he's 38. All this talk about him complaining and whining is all rumors. So, until I actual read/hear an actual quote from Andre himself, then I refuse to believe he is saying publically he wants out. Thinking and saying are two different things. Hhowever, he wouldn't be normal if he didn't "think" it under the current circumstances.
The latest in McCourt Divorce Court… Frank is requesting a decrease in Jamie's money. Why? …..because the $600,000 is beyond his means, and she is unwilling to sell or rent any of the 7 homes they currently own. The idiotness continues….
Hi'Ya Nelly. Thanks for the lineup. The McCourts are loathsome sub humans. Very important to keep boycotting the games. I've been reading that Franks only source of income right now is ticket sales, concessions, and parking. Cutting off that revenue is like cutting off the head of the snake. When Jamie doesn't get hers, she will put added pressure on Frank to sell the team. The fans that continue to attend the games and put money in Franks pockets are just sheep being led to the slaughter. They deserve what they will ultimately reap.
Here's the article about Frank wanting to lower alimony:
Oh, Frank isn't making any money directly from the Dodgers. His meager $5M comes from the rent he pays himself through one of his entities. Not only that, he increased the rent both last year and this year. What a prick.
Thanks for posting the article Enchanted 🙂
What a laugh; Frank can't afford to support Jamie's lifestyle. This is just hilarious; Frank wants Jamie to rent or sell some of the 7 houses (used to be 8 until the judge forced a sale on one) that same lifestyle supported before the divorce and subsequant financial problems. Frank and Jamie deserve each other.
Not to worry birk, I read somewhere that Frank's budgeted $2M to improve the team at the trade deadline.
That ought to fix things on our end.
So, what PVL is out there worth 2M, or will we get 2 at 1M each? Oh what money will buy these days 🙂
Yankees and Reds both have multiple top ten catching prospects in their minor league system, and, both need a starting pitcher. We could probably get a decent catching prospect from one of them for Kuroda. Just a thought. We really don't have any long term catching prospects in our farm system and their aren't any good catchers available in free agency after this year.
Reds and Red Sox also have a top ten 1B prospect in their systems. Both need a starting pitcher and are set at 1B for awhile with Votto and Gonzales.
Funny – they also are looking for a bat, an outfielder's bat. In a bleacher report, these were the top 2 of 7 teams who could benefit from having Andre in their lineup.
Thanks Nelly. I did not know that. Ethier could definately bring us back a good haul if they decide to trade him. That is if Ned is not doing the dealing. I wouldn't trade him to them unless we got their top 1B, 3B, and C prospects.
Plus, I could certainly get into having Ethier in Cincinnati.
I don't normally pay attention to Bleacher Reports, but this one was hard to ignore when the headline was all about Ethier. The good thing for Andre is all of those 7 teams are in contention right now. However, all rumors at this point.
As much as I'd hate to see Ethier depart, I would like to see him playing for a quality contending team and get a shot at a ring before his playing days are over. I don't see that happening here for a long while and probably never if Frank is the owner.
I guess it's asking too much to get a new thread coming out of the AS break and starting an important series against the D'Backs. Geez!!!
Assuming we don't get a new thread here in the next hour or so, here's one we can use:
Yep, Josh is probably busy kicking it at Franks 30K/month crib. They've got a circle jerk going on and Ned is the pivot man. LOL!!!!
What a sad state of affairs we are discussing for which team we would like to see Ethier play while he is still under contract to the Dodgers.
Not nearly as sad as discussing the ongoing McCourt-MLB debacle, Neds ineptness, or Uribum, Nobatro, Barfajas, and Fecal.
Very sad indeed lbirken :(. Somebody brought up last night that Andre (his Bobblehead Night) has been the only thing, outside the Angels series, that has brought the "actual" attendance to normal or above range. There is something to be said about his impact on the fans of this ballclub. Add that to the voting to get him on the All-Star Team. If you mess with that, Frank and Ned will be hated even worse, if that's possible at this point. As the original Ethieraholic, I ultimately want what's best for him. If we get new ownership, I would hope they would find a way to at least keep him, Matt, and Kersh (and possibly James – haven't given up on him yet), and take a chance something good would come with new ownership. However, if this ownership issue doesn't get itself resolved in a timely manner (oh yea right!) and/or Frank is still the owner, then I would allow him to move on and play with a team that has the potential to be great!! As for now…… Andre is ours, Matt is ours, along with Kersh, Billz and James, and I am going cherish every moment that they are with this club. GO DODGERS!!!
What I think the $2M means Nells is that we'll be losing what's left of our top prospects so that Frank doesn't have to spend any money on salaries for PVLs.
Yep, we'll probably end up sending a good prospect to Toronto for Rivera so Frank does not have to send any money back.
Hey brother Wally! How goes it?
Doing well Beav, how about you my friend? Just continuing to detach emotionally from the Dodgers so if worse comes to worst and Frank keeps the team, I will not be too effected by it.
Just laying low my brother. You know me, never much of an opinion on anything. 🙂
Looks like we'll need to make the jump to the other thread. Shall we?
If Ethier leaves, that's assuming we'll at least have Kemp, Billz, and the Kid, for a couple more years, and either Rubby and Gordon are traded, I'm for getting a rope.
Kershaw winning with less than his best stuff made me think of an at bat Mays had against Koufax in San Francisco I saw on the tube. Sandy was struggling, for him it was struggling, and Mays had to work just to stay in there. It went on for quite a while, with them taking turns stepping out of the box and off the mound. I don't even remember how it turned out, just two of the best going at it with Vin's commentary.
Frank McCourt's grinning visage, jeering us from the front page of the Sports section, now looms much larger than the storied history of the Dodgers, both Brooklyn and Los Angeles.
And the fans are giving it all away.
The crown jewel of West Coast Baseball might soon crumble and fade, not due to an Earthquake, but by a fanbase unable to reconcile their disdain for a craven grasping for any solid hold as the ground slips from under him. That future would produce a downtown shoebox that would price out Dodger Stadium's fans as mightily as the downtown palace priced out the Forum's fans.
In the past, I've compared McCourt to the Emperor Nero, laughing and fiddling as Rome burned.
I was wrong.
It's the fans who are burning Rome, placating their arson by thinking they're having an effect on Frank McCourt.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't see any signs of surrender on McCourt's part.
Just section upon section of empty seats.
Ebbets Field, towards the end, had empty seats too.
The proletariat gladly give their castle up to the tyrant, forgetting that regents come and go, but the castles remain for ages.
Some surrender. Some feign joy in the failure of the franchise and the team on the field. They hold Frank McCourt in higher esteem than they ever held the Dodgers.
They are the causes of their own suffering.
The Dodgers are bigger and better than that.

text: This excellent mini-doc covers the origins and life of Electronic Music Studios – a company formed by avant-garde musicians & engineers who all shared a passion for electronic sound – which at that time, was widely seen as a lot of kooky, artsy-fartsy noodling. Their collaborative efforts brought about the first electronic music sequencer, utilizing a relatively massive amount of computing power for the 1950s. Awesomely good stuff.

Continuous Audio Visual EEG recording is a standard of care in establishing an accurate diagnosis in epilepsy. The technicians will attach about 25 electrodes to your scalp using a special adhesive. Each electrode is connected to a wire that eventually connects to a computer system. Your brain emits very weak electrical discharges that the electrodes are able to collect. During various activities, such as a seizure, the electrodes over the active areas receive more electrical stimulation than the other electrodes. We are able to study this information to help determine the area in the brain responsible for the seizures. These electrodes will remain attached for the entire duration of the hospital stay. To help seizures occur naturally so they can be studied, we often will remove medications during this testing.
Sometimes we will try to perform an injection during the seizure for an ictal SPECT scan, which can be done after you recover from your seizure. This helps to localize seizure-generating areas of the brain, and shows blood flow changes with seizures.
In addition to EEG monitoring, you will be monitored on an audio-video camera. Your image, along with simultaneous EEG recordings, is saved. When you have a seizure, the doctor will be able to review the EEG and see exactly how you responded. This will help determine the location and severity of the seizures.
You will be admitted to the hospital for approximately one week for evaluation of your seizures. During this time, we will try to record several of your seizure episodes. Additional testing may be done at this time as well.
Continue to take all prescribed medications until you have been admitted to the hospital. Your medication may be adjusted, reduced or even temporarily stopped while you are hospitalized.
Please arrange for a ride to and from the hospital. When you arrive at 20 York Street, please pull into the semicircle located in front of the hospital and inform them that you are here to be admitted. The car will be valet parked for a fee of $12.00 per calendar day. Note that parking validation is not available. If you have further questions regarding parking, please contact (203) 688-2623.
You will be admitted to a specially equipped single room with a video camera at the foot of the bed. Electrodes will be glued to your scalp and left in place to allow for continuous EEG recording. Please be sure your hair is clean and free of gels and/or sprays. Please bring conditioner to help with removing the glue on your scalp from the electrodes.
Mobility within the room is restricted, due to the monitoring devices, and for your safety. You will be limited to movement between the bed and a chair located next to the bed.
Please bring items such as books/magazines, iPod/iPad (ear phones may not be worn over your head), games, etc., to entertain yourself and occupy your time. There is wireless internet connection if you chose to bring a laptop computer.
There is a telephone in the room; however, you are allowed to bring your cellular phone. Your room is equipped with a television as well.
Bring comfortable clothes such as nightwear/pajamas with tops that button up the front (all tops must button or zip all the way, as nothing can go over your head because of the electrodes).
You will be unable to shower while at the hospital for monitoring; however, you will be allowed to take a sponge bath.
Visiting hours are from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. One adult may stay overnight, and a cot will be provided.
All of your meals will be provided by the hospital. Visitor meals can be purchased at the cafeteria located downstairs. You may bring snacks, though there is no refrigerator storage available. You may also have outside food brought in for you by a visitor.
Smoking is not allowed. Nicotine patches are available to help you stay smoke-free.

Here's a brand new featurette about Arrow, the new Green Arrow show coming on The CW this fall. Including a rundown of how Oliver Queen was stranded on an island and became committed to great justice and even greater shirtlessness. This show is already our new guilty pleasure.
Oh, and there appear to be masked villains! We were worried this show was literally just going to be a bow-wielding vigilante in a hood hunting down regular criminals in street clothes every week. So the first gilmpse of a weird red mask is encouraging — let's hope by the end of the first season we're getting some more fantastical enemies. We can dream, right?
Also, it turns out that when Oliver Queen crashed on that island, he was in the middle of having sex with his girlfriend's sister. Oops.
And here's a five-minute featurette about The CW's Beauty and the Beast remake:

Welcome to SSU's McNair Scholars Program
The McNair Scholars Program at SSU helps 27 undergraduate students per year prepare for and get accepted into graduate school. The primary objective of this program is to place more historically underrepresented students in Masters and PhD programs.
Program Activities
- Graduate School Application Assistance:
- In order to ensure that every part of the graduate school application is as strong as it can be, McNair provides workshops and indiviudal advising on choosing the right graduate school programs, writing effective statements of purpose, soliciting good letters of recommendation, improving GRE scores, and locating sources of funding.
- Research Opportunities:
- Being engaged in research at the undergraduate level is one of the best ways to both be a highly competitive applicant and develop the kinds of abilities needed to succeed in graduate school. For this reason, SSU faculty work individually with McNair Scholars, guiding them through the process of designing and developing a research project to be presented at our annual symposium and published in our academic journal. Faculty mentors may also include McNair Scholars in other academic activities such as professional conferences. Participants who meet all program requirements will receive a stipend of up to $2,800 upon completion of the research project.
- Travel Opportunities:
- McNair Scholars may receive funding to travel to professional conferences and present their research. They may also visit campuses where they are applying to graduate school in order to increase their chances of getting accepted or to make informed decisions about the best graduate school program to enter.
Students from all grade levels and undergraduate majors are encouraged to apply. In order to be eligible for the McNair Scholars program, students must be an undergraduate enrolled at SSU and fit into at least one of two eligibility categories:
1) Be a low-income student and a first-generation college student of any ethnicity,
2) Be a member of at least one of the four ethnic minority groups underrepresented in American graduate schools— African-American, Latino/a, Native American, or Pacific Islander.

happy day
If you count the M.A., I've been in graduate school for nearly nine years. That's eighteen semesters, plus a couple of summer sessions, not to mention that whole "living in a 'post'-conflict zone" thing to collect data in the name of political science. It's been a long road, and while it isn't over yet, yesterday, I reached a significant milestone.
The dissertation is done.
"Done" isn't exactly "done, done," of course. I get the feeling that will never really happen. I still wake up at four in the morning thinking about little tweaks that need to be made. The committee still has to rip it apart and return it to me for revisions. My daddy, who just happens to be a retired editor, is proofreading the whole thing, including hundreds of footnotes, bless him. And then there are the tiny matters of defending it, turning it into a book, and finding a publisher.
But the hard part is over. This morning I slept in without feeling the tiniest bit guilty for the last nine years. (What they don't tell you about graduate school: all leisure time gives you a guilt complex. There's always something else you could be doing. Always.)
Many of you have asked these past couple of months what I'll be doing next year. I'm pleased to report that I'll be joining the faculty at Morehouse College in Atlanta. I'm excited to have found a tenure-track job in this economy, glad to be landing in a big city with a major international airport and a cultural life, and slightly intimidated to be the assistant professor of African politics at the only historically black men's college in America. Morehouse is the alma mater of everyone from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to Spike Lee. It is a place that is very rich in tradition, expectations, and history. The men of Morehouse are outstanding students and I'm really looking forward to teaching courses in my field while helping prepare them to lead.
Assuming everything goes well with my defense in April, I'll head to Atlanta in late July. That's just in time for my parents, who are not only happy that thirteen years of higher education resulted in gainful employment, but are also excited to have a free place to stay in close proximity to Turner Field, the home of their favorite baseball team, the Braves.
Thanks, blog friends and real-life friends, for your friendship and encouragement these last few years. I'm really excited about what's next, and looking forward to catching up on sleep and everything else I neglected while finishing the diss (including a lot of emails I owe many of you). I couldn't have done it without you.

We sauntered over to the Las Vegas Hilton pavilion last night for a no-photos event. It was Nissan, showing off its latest design concept, the Forum, which uses trippy, organic shapes to unhook some minivan clichés from our forebrain. It's the Forum concept, a vannish prototype that's ostensibly a forebear of the next Quest. Despite the curvilinearity of the front, the Forum sports a chopped, right angle at the rear, which gives it a familial connection with the Japan-only Cube, which we hear will also find its way to the US in some form. The Forum also has a cryptic button on the steering wheel that reads "Mommy Pause." Perhaps the driving equivalent of a bath in Calgon bubbles?

We use the following command to set the time (the timezone is configured through kloxo admin panel and is not reset like the time does):

World Bulletin / News Desk
A typhoon with winds of up to 170 kmh (106 mph) buffeted South Korea's west coaston Tuesday, killing five people at sea and leaving 10 missing when two Chinese fishing vessels capsized.
Typhoon Bolaven barrelled up the coast before making landfall in already flood-ravaged North Korea as the impoverished country struggles to feed its 24 million people.
A second typhoon was making its way up a similar course on Tuesday and was expected to hit the peninsula later in the week.
Coast guard rescuers pulled 18 surviving fishermen from the Chinese vessels that capsized off the southern island of Jeju and found five bodies, the emergency services said.
The storm knocked out power for nearly 200,000 homes in South Korea and uprooted poles but there was sharply less serious rain damage than had been feared.
China warned of possible flooding in coming days that could hit corn and soy crops in parts of its three northeastern provinces.
Schools were closed for the day in the South Korean capital, Seoul, and in the south, but financial markets, industrial and energy installations and government services operated as usual.
Hundreds of international and domestic flights were cancelled.
Local news reports said power was cut briefly to the petrochemical factory complex in Yeonsu, affecting LG Chemical , Hanwha Chemical 009830.KS>, Kumcho Petrochemical and Yeochun NCC Co but impact on production was limited.
The storm hit the southern part of North Korea's west coast, near the farming regions surrounding the capital Pyongyang, the South's national weather service said.
The destitute North, which has trouble feeding its people even in years with good harvests, has said heavy rains in July and August inundated farmland and triggered landslides, killing hundreds and leaving families homeless.
