The Kimball Elementary grades Kindergarten through third presented "An Old Fashioned Holiday Program", directed by Mrs. Arlene Sands Tuesday, Dec. 18.
The opening song was "Seasons Greetings" done by grades K-3. Leaders were Ellie Wicker, Abigail Eich, Melodie Albert, Tevin Markwardt, Austin Decknatel, and Jazmine Gonzales.
The KES gym was very very packed with family and friends to enjoy what these young students wanted to share for the holiday time. The Kindergarten classes presented six joyful pieces:
"Time for Music"

Niagara Gazette
Niagara Gazette — A medical waste disposal company has reached a settlement in which it has agreed to pay $2.4 million for overcharging nearly 1,000 New York state clients.
The Niagara County Jail will receive a refund of more than $1,700. Other area entities that will be given refunds include Niagara County Mental Health, the Niagara County Health Department and Niagara County Community College.
Victims included police and fire departments, rescue squads, schools, jails, and hospitals across the state.
Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman announced Tuesday that Stericycle Inc. will repay "every impacted government entity" covering the full overcharged amount, totaling about $820,000.
According to Schneiderman, Stericycle in 2003 launched a plan to charge automated price increases (APIs) without giving any notice to its customers and in violation of the contract terms.
"Stericycle improperly profited by overcharging New York taxpayers," said Schneiderman. "In these times of harsh budget cuts to education, public health, and public safety, local governments and agencies need every available dollar and we will hold accountable corporations like Stericycle that use cynical schemes to rip off New York taxpayers."
The agreement also requires Stericycle to permanently discontinue APIs to the New York government customers covered by the settlement and provide notice and opportunity to opt-out before any future rate increases.
The scheme was brought to the attention of federal prosecutors through a whistleblower complaint filed in federal district court in Chicago by a former Stericycle employee.
According to Schneiderman, when Stericycle customers would complain of rate increases, Stericycle employees were instructed to state that Stericycle had incurred actual increased costs due to, for example, new strict environmental regulations.

I just went on my first long ride in the new Alpinestars 365 Gore-Tex Leather Suit. It was dry and sunny, so I can't tell you how well it keeps out water, but I can tell you the perforations aren't there to vent air. So what do they do? Allow the Gore-Tex membrane laminated to the underside of the leather to vent water vapor.
Expecting all the tiny holes to flow air like a wind tunnel, I put on a
sweater when I set off in the 50-degree dawn temperatures, but it turns
out riding in the suit is just like wearing non-ventilated leather. At
75 degrees, having long since ditched the sweater, I had to unzip the
jacket halfway to stay cool.
Gore-Tex Pro Shell Leather is treated with a dye capable of reflecting
30 percent of the sun's energy, allegedly keeping you cooler than if you
were wearing standard black leather. Without trying this and a standard
suit back-to-back, I can't comment on the dye's effectiveness.
On initial impressions, it feels like the suit's going to be a bit too
hot to wear in the heat of the summer, at least at relatively mild
speeds. Perhaps eVent would make a better membrane for a true
all-weather a motorcycle suit.
I'll keep you updated.

Abram Brown, Forbes Staff
I write about people who build businesses.
J.C. Penney's decision to return to gimmicky promotions—a sale for friends and family, 2o% off!—reflects how mightily that company is struggling under the direction of new CEO Ron Johnson.
Starting this week, the 110-year-old department store chain will bring back some of the sales that it swore off last year, the Associated Press reports. Meanwhile, J.C. Penney will feature new price tags next to merchandise that shows how much customers save by shopping there.
It's exactly what Johnson said he wouldn't do. He pledged to give up promotions, part of an grand scheme that would change nearly every aspect of the company. The reversal shows he misunderstood J.C. Penney's customers at the start and that his ambitious plan isn't taking hold.
What else has gone wrong? By scrapping sales—coupons too—J.C. Penney alienated its core customer base. The middle income shoppers who went to J.C. Penney no longer feel comfortable there. Nor will they recognize the place soon. Johnson plans to dramatically renovate J.C. Penney's 1,110 stores, widening aisles and adding flashy technology. Coffee bars will, perhaps, make it a hang-0ut spot. Yoga classes and hair salons, too.
All this hasn't gotten J.C. Penney far. It probably just booked its fourth consecutive quarter of losses. Sales have fallen, too, likely off more than 20% in the past year. Shareholders wiped away half the company's value in a year, the debt downgraded to junk status.
"Johnson's trying to manufacture a massive turnaround when everybody is trying to leave," says Margaret Bogenrief, a principal at ACM Partners, a distressed investing boutique. I spoke to her several weeks ago, before news of this latest change. Even then, she didn't spare a kind word. "What's the best case scenario here? That they become a super, super distant second to Target. They'll be like, the poor-kids-version of Target." Aside from Target, of course, J.C. Penney competes with Macy's, Bon-Ton and Kohl's, as well as Gap.
The poor finances and empty stores are forcing Johnson to pivot…returning somewhat to where he began. This latest news that J.C. Penney will bring back some sales—Valentine's Day jewelry, 20 off!—shouldn't come as a surprise. A few months ago Johnson emailed coupons to customers (accompanied by an apology for the recent struggles). He argued the $10-off discounts were gifts, not coupons. A lame kibitz. Sort of like insisting on labeling a coat as a jacket because a store still has too many parkas come spring.
Sales are back. Stand-by for news that you'll soon be inundated with coupons. Again.
Reach Abram Brown at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Johnson's plan was extremely complicated. I doubt there was one customer who understood it or even cared to try.
Unless you have a fabulous differentiated product like Apple does, retail is hard. People want just a few things:
a confortable place to browse and try stuff,
to be sure they will find the product they want,
good prices.
They want to know what to expect when they visit a store. In a time when everybody shops online, why should anyone drive and spend an hour shopping unless it is a very pleasant experience, and I leave with the product I wanted for the least price ? JCPenney needs to follow the customer decision process:
- I need to buy towels.
- Where can I buy towels for a reasonable price, where I can be sure to find them, in a place that doesn't suck like WalMart ?
- I'm going to Target.
I am not clear on how Forbes thinks Friends & Family 20% off sales is a "return to a gimmicky promotion"! JCP has been doing Friends & Family 20% off sales for decades — roughly every quarter! Employees have been encouraged to give out F&F coupons to their Friends & Family for a LONG time.
Rather than kitsch, as you call it, I consider it a benefit to the employee's family and friends. A nice way to show your — as an employee — pride in the company. Moreover, the process never ended, even during Johnson's reign — making the "return to gimmicky promotions" false and showing how little you are actually following the company's business practices.

Since 9th grade, Memorial senior inside linebacker Davonte McMillian
has been living the Titans unofficial motto, "Hard work pays off."
He's transformed himself from an offensive lineman as a freshman into
one of the best linebackers in the district playing for one of the
fastest defenses in school history. But, what truly makes McMillian
special is he adds a healthy dose of leadership, coachability and
physicality to the mix every week.
"He's one of the best leaders I've been around," Memorial head coach
Kenny Harrison said. "He's a very physical kid. He's one of our
captains along with (fellow ILB) Elandon Roberts. He's always giving
110 percent, both in games and in practice."
McMillian turned that hard-working focus on his speed last offseason,
rounding out his defensive repertoire a little more.
"In the offseason, I hit it hard every day with a state championship
on my mind," McMillian said. "I slimmed down and got a little trimmer.
I got my speed up and am a lot better than where I was last year. I
feel real strong."
That hard work started seeing dividends starting last summer, when
McMillian went to a football camp and posted blistering times.
"He went to a camp last summer and ran a 4.5 (40-yard dash)," Harrison
said. "I think that encouraged him to keep working hard. It raised the
bar for him on his speed. He understands that for an undersized
linebacker, he has to be physical and he has to run well. He does both
of those things and really plays like he's 6-foot-5 and 225 pounds on
the field."
McMillian recorded 11 tackles against Beaumont West Brook, showing off
some of that physicality. He and the other linebackers in Memorial's
defense understand that they all play a role, which is why that unit
has been so successful this season.
"He's an unselfish guy playing next to three other unselfish guys,"
Harrison said. "They understand the role they're playing out there and
they take pride in that. They know our scheme is going to put them in
position to make plays. They've been working with linebackers coach
(Mark) Crooms on tackling drills and playing at a high tempo. All that
has helped make Davonte McMillian successful this season."
While all of the linebackers for Memorial share similar traits, what
makes McMillian stand out of Harrison is the combination of all his
"He's really a standout because all his skills are good," Harrison
said. "All our linebackers are physical players. Davonte has worked on
his speed and gotten that to a good level. He's a smart player on the
field and a great leader. The combination of all those things makes
him such a special player."
McMillian likes getting the chance to make plays when teammate Elandon
Roberts takes on a lead blocker. He also says the success of the
linebacking corps is all about communication.
"We just love the game," McMillian said. "In the game, we talk to each
other. Communication is big because if you don't talk together, you
aren't going to play together. I love when (Elandon) blows it up and I
can just have a chance to make a big play that's right there for me."
The senior says he's talked with a number of schools about playing at
the next level, including Stephen F. Austin, Tulsa and the University
of Houston. But, McMillian is waiting until after the season before he
makes a decision.
He's also heading into his final regular season game at Memorial
Stadium and knows how big a game this is for his team.
"Going into this week, we have to play team ball," McMillian said.
"I've got to show my community, my friends and family what I can do
one more time."
TITAN TIDBITS: Quarterback Terrence Singleton was named Offensive MVP
and Offensive Back of the Week for his efforts last week against La
Porte. Seniors Jhajuan Seales and Aerian Jackson were named
co-recipients of the WR of the Week, while Tre'Von Armstead won OL of
the Week. McMillian took home the Defensive MVP last week while junior
James Jenkins won DB of the Week, Elandon Robert got LB of the Week
and Walter Oliver won DL of the Week. … Memorial came out with some
bumps and bruises against La Porte, but cornerback Jaylon Howard was
able to play. He should be back this week against Baytown Sterling. …
Memorial fell out of the AP Top 10 this week, but still garnered
votes, finishing 14th overall. The Titans have a chance to tie the
school regular season record for most wins by beating Sterling on
Friday. … Memorial's playoff picture is still very jumbled. The Titans
don't even know if they'll be playing in Division I or Division II. If
both West Brook and North Shore win this Friday, Memorial would be
bumped down to Division II and would play either Pasadena Memorial or
South Houston. If Memorial goes into Division I with Channelview
bumping West Brook or North Shore out of the playoffs, it would play
either Deer Park or Pasadena Dobie…. District 21-5A is undefeated this
season against teams from 22-5A. Memorial has already beaten South
Houston while La Porte beat Deer Park 34-31. North Shore beat Pasadena
Memorial 17-6 while both Channelview and Baytown Sterling won two
games against 22-5A. The Falcons beat Dobie and Pasadena Memorial
while Sterling beat Pasadena and South Houston. West Brook is the only
21-5A team to not play someone from its bidistrict rival.

GAME NOTES: The UC Irvine Anteaters had a six-game win streak snapped in their last outing, and they'll try to get back in the win column as they travel to face the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos in Big West Conference play at the Thunderdome.
UC Irvine, which leads the Big West with a 4-1 conference record, lost its first conference game in its latest matchup with Hawaii - a 90-86 overtime defeat. The loss snapped a six-game win streak and a perfect Big West record.
UC Santa Barbara also had a win streak snapped in its last matchup, dropping a close 74-72 contest to Cal State Fullerton. The loss set the Gauchos back to 3-2 in Big West play - a game behind UC Irvine for the conference lead.
UC Santa Barbara has a hold of the all-time series lead between the two programs, 48-31. The Anteaters and Gauchos will meet again later this season on Feb. 27.
UC Irvine held a 43-38 lead over Hawaii at the half, but the Warriors battled back in the second half to force an overtime period, in which Hawaii went on to win. Six players recorded point totals in the double digits for the Anteaters, led by Alex Young's 14 points. Aaron Wright, Mamadou Ndiaye and Chris McNealy each netted 12 points, and Luke Nelson chipped in 11. Will Davis II rounded out the double-digit scorers with 10 points. The Anteaters shot an impressive 55 percent from the floor.
McNealy leads the group in scoring this season with 12.2 ppg on 44.3 percent shooting from the floor. Davis is second at 11.4 ppg, and Nelson is close behind in third at 11.3 ppg. Young tops the team in assists with 94 on the year, while Davis leads the squad in rebounding at 6.9 rpg. The Anteaters are scoring an average of 75.2 ppg this season.
Although UC Santa Barbara outscored Cal State Fullerton, 51-44, in the second half, the Titans built up enough of a lead in the first period to sustain any comeback attempt. Alan Williams continues to prove he's one of the most underrated players in the college game, netting 26 points for Santa Barbara and pulling down nine rebounds. Michael Bryson scored 16, and Kyle Boswell came off the bench to add 11. The Gauchos shot 46.3 percent in the game.
Williams' numbers this season speak to his ability, and prove that he could be one of the top snubs from the Wooden Award watch list. Williams is scoring 22.7 ppg this season on 55.5 percent shooting from the floor. He averages a double-double with a 10.7 rpg mark, a team-best 36 blocked shots and a second- best 19 steals. Boswell is second on the team in scoring, well behind Williams' total, at 11.8 ppg. Bryson is third at 10.3 ppg.
Williams will be a dominant force regardless, but the Gauchos' success will be determined by other players stepping up to aid him in the effort. The home advantage helps out greatly for UCSB, as the Gauchos look to climb back up toward the top spot in the Big West.

Partially Buried Woodshed (demolished)
Sculptor/Creator – Robert Smithson (1938-1973)
Date – January 1970
Media – mixed media Earthwork
Location – Liquid Crystal Materials Science Building
Background -
Robert Smithson (1938-1973) was a visiting artist-in-residence for one week at the Kent State University School of Art in January of 1970. For a conceptual art earthwork project, he and some students rented a back hoe and dumped 20 truckloads of dirt onto an abandoned woodshed. A year after the piece was partially buried, someone wrote "May 4 Kent 70," onto a lintel of the shed. Thus the work became associated with the event. The site is located on the east campus, near the Liquid Crystal Materials Science Building, which had not yet been constructed when the piece was executed. Smithson was one of the earliest artists to work with manmade objects in the landscape, which represented from a broader perspective—cultural history. To materials in the landscape he added nature, so that its forces over time would cause the object to acquire its own history. Part of the shed's roof collapsed from the weight of the dirt. Further deterioration took place: the exposed part of the shed burned in 1975, and the remainder of it disappeared early in 1984. All that remains is the site covered with bushes, and surrounded by trees. Smithson's work on the shed has been documented over the years, written about and filmed. It was an important creation in the body of work for the short-lived artist and has received international recognition. It, as with several of the landmarks associated with May 4th, remain a lasting reminder of the history and events of the period.

STEUBENVILLE, Ohio (AP) - The trial of two Ohio high school football players accused of raping a 16-year-old girl has ended.

For Irish Waters Tavern, the no smoking sign is above the door, and ashtrays no longer linger. But this pub, barely within Madison's city limits, could be at a competitive disadvantage.
"Some of our smoking customers have said goodbye," says owner Chris Cambion.
NBC 15 talked to another restaurant also on the fringe, but in their case they are two streets away from enforcing the new rule.
Jason Riewe, the General Manager at the Nitty Gritty, says, "maybe a few people will stop out that are upset with the new smoking ban."
Just down the street another Middleton bar is banking on those kind of customers. They are passing out free cigarettes with a freedom flag attached, and soon they'll offer a "smoking shuttle" from downtown Madison right up to their bar.
"We've been getting calls, we've been getting e-mails," tells Ross Johson, owner of Club Tavern. "Some people like the idea because they think it is funny. Others think it promotes smoking and smoking is evil."
While it is a subject that sparks debate, on this day bar owners are more concerned with the subject of sales.
"If you are just a little ways a way from Blooming Grove or if you are just a block from Dunn, and you owned a Madison tavern... I'd be very upset," says Johnson.
"I can't say I'm not worried about sales. You can ask me that question in three months and I'll let you know," says Cambion.
Madison city health inspectors will be checking in on businesses, and if bar owners or patrons are caught violating the smoking ban they could face fines anywhere from $100 to more than $500.

Being Human Episode 313
"Ruh Roh"
Written By: Anna Fricke
Directed By: Stefan Pleszczynski
Original Airdate: 8 April 2013
In This Episode...
Liam faces off with Josh and Nora. He is not there to kill them; he has made peace with their choice of lifestyle. In fact, Liam sees them as his children, something that offends both of them and causes Nora to admit to killing Brynn. Liam takes them to a warehouse where deformed vampires are piled up. He locks Nora and Josh in the room with them, a single stake to defend themselves with. Josh wants to kill them; Nora wants to find a way out, and is worried about Josh's new bloodlust. But when one of the new monster vamps attacks Nora, she changes her tune and supports Josh's decision to set the pile alight.
Back at home, Aidan and Kat are getting frisky. With Kenny still chained up in his bedroom, they have sex on the living room floor. Sally wakes him in the morning - Kenny is awake and in pain. Aidan rushes to him with blood bags and promises that he will figure out how to help cure his hideous deformity. Kenny's freakout is interrupted by Kat's freakout. Aidan finds her in Sally's room, having found her rotting corpse. Aidan desperately tries to explain but Kat won't hear and she bolts from the house with promises to call the police. After feeding Kenny (and admonishing him against drinking too much) Aidan admits to Sally that he has wanted a family. After surviving the virus, he started to "live" again, indulging on blood and blacking out. He admits to turning people, and that even though he wants peace and humanity, he is still a monster. A bullet strikes him in the head and he keels over, Sally freaks, and Liam reveals himself. Josh and Nora let slip that Aidan had turned Kenny and he is there to kill Aidan's mutant spawn. He shoots Aidan a few more times ("I know it won't kill you, but it is just so rewarding!") then takes him down to the basement. All hell breaks out at this point. Aidan is badly battered; Liam beats everyone he can with a shovel. Sally uses her ghost power to set the wooden handle on fire so Liam can't stake Kenny. Aidan gets back into the fight, but it just ends up with him being impaled against the wall on a metal rod. Josh and Nora come home and jump into the fight. Nora gets tossed across the room and knocked out; Kenny pounces and feeds; Josh tries to battle Liam; Sally scares Liam backwards enough that Aidan can grab him by the shoulders and impale him on his metal rod. Josh and Aidan pull Kenny off Nora. Aidan knows he has to deal with the Kenny situation - he would have drained Nora if he hadn't been stopped.
Aidan has a lot of loose ends to tie up. First he goes to Blake and convinces her to compel Kat into forgetting Sally's corpse. He's no good at compulsion. It works, and when Kat wakes up, Blake is gone and she only remembers having a great night with Aidan and him going out for coffee to aid her hangover. Next he takes Kenny out into the woods. Kenny knows his death is imminent, but Aidan can't quite do it. Mirroring what he did with his son 100+ years ago, Aidan tells Kenny - with fury and rage - to run. Kenny does. He later tells Josh that Kenny "never had a chance."
The roommates bury Sally's corpse back in her grave. Nora feels bad that Josh didn't get the chance to kill Liam, but she also notices a certain acceptance in him. The next night is the full moon. The morning after, Nora wakes in the forest and calls for Josh. She finally finds him - still a werewolf. Aidan goes for a walk - and narrowly misses running into his wife Susanna, getting out of a cab. Sally sits, the whole house to herself, when Donna appears. She is far more powerful a ghost than Sally and can control her. She throws Sally down the stairs, then opens up an enormous sinkhole where she died. Sally claws her way out - then Donna grabs her and drags her in. The hole repairs itself, like it never happened.
Dig It or Bury It?
I was a little concerned with how Being Human would end the season - after all, last week's episode felt like a pretty solid ending. But this was good, too. Not insane, but solid. I am very, very tired of Sally's constant tumble between different planes. The zombie story was fun, but she has been to limbo, she has been to whatever was through Donna's door. Now she is, what, in hell? That could be fun... but something tells me it won't be that cool.
Josh still a werewolf come morning is no surprise. They established it pretty well that, since he was scratched by a pureblood, he would have pureblood power. So that means that he can change back and forth at will. Clearly, he just hasn't learned how to control it yet.
What intrigues me far more is the fact that Susanna is back in town. Is she really a witch? Did Aidan actually vampirize her? Secrets, evening beatings, corpses in the bedroom... Kat can deal with all of that. But a former wife? Something tells me that will be her limit.
Flashback to the Future
Back in ye olde puritanical times, Isaac accidentally lets it slip that his father is back from the dead. The townsfolk accuse Susanna of witchcraft and kill her in the drowning trial. Aidan sees this. He tells his son to run, and once he is gone, he slaughters the church elders - including the preacher.

Sherie Rene Scott Will Bring Her Solo Show, Piece of Meat, to London
By Michael Gioia
Three-time Tony Award nominee Sherie Rene Scott, last seen on Broadway in Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown, will bring her cabaret show, Piece of Meat, to the London Hippodrome for a three-night engagement Feb. 21-23.
The show was recently seen in its New York premiere at 54 Below in October 2012.
Piece of Meat, which features music direction by Todd Almond (Melancholy Play, We Always Have Lived In The Castle, On The Levee, Girlfriend) and staging by Michele Lynch, includes songs by Dire Straits, Joni Mitchell, Paul McCartney, Pete Townshend, Annie Lennox and Buddy Holly.
In Piece of Meat, Scott explores her personal struggle through song. "After over 26 years of the happy, healthy vegetarian [lifestyle] — never having been tempted — I suddenly found myself faced with the overwhelming desire for meat," she previously told Playbill.com. "This was obviously something I wanted to keep very private, and I was having a big internal struggle with, and so I wrote about it. And, as Todd and I worked together, just wanting to put a show together of songs that we loved and enjoyed playing, Todd noticed how much the songs reflected [my struggle]…
"This show is basically about all the investigating I did over this one piece of meat and how I felt like I had been a piece of meat at certain parts of my life. I identified with the meat. I identified with the animal and the prey, and I had compassion for that. To find myself on the other side, it was mind-blowing."
Read the full Playbill Brief Encounter with Tony nominee Scott, who shares more details on the new show.
Scott was Tony-nominated for her performances in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Everyday Rapture and also received a nomination for the Best Book of Rapture. Her other Broadway credits include The Little Mermaid, Aida, Rent, Grease and The Who's Tommy.
The Hippodrome is located at Cranbourn Street in Leicester Square, London. For more information and tickets, call 0207 769 8888 or visit SpeckulationEntertainment.com.

Commodity Corner
Views on commodities and energy
from MacroScope:
Running out of resources
Oil prices are more than double the December-February troughs and commodity prices generally are going up as the market cheers signs of an economic recovery.
Jeremy Grantham, chairman of U.S.-based money monager GMO, warns that the world is running out of resources in the long run yet is not correctly pricing the fact.
"We are simply running out of everything at a dangerous rate... As we move through our remarkable and irreplaceable hydrocarbon reserves, the price will, of course, rise remorselessly to ration supplies. We need, it seems, the shock of a Pearl Harbor to really gear up and make sacrifices," he says.
Grantham points out that in 1977 President Jimmy Carter warned that we were running out of oil and urged people to fully insulate 80% of the houses in 10 years.

News and opinion about video games, technology and the internet
We've previously documented the way the media has blamed video games in the wake of the Sandy Hook tragedy. Once it was revealed that the killer was a fan of Starcraft, a relatively non-violent strategy game, the age old witch hunt began again from blog posts to full-on segments on CNN. Then the NRA came out and blamed specific games as having a role in the massacre, and saying that in fact more guns would have helped prevent the shooting. We spent many days debating the differences between video game violence and gun violence, but today the issue takes new relevance.
According to Polygon one Connecticut town, Southington, is now combining the idea of gun buybacks, where people are paid to turn in their firearms, and the age-old ignorant tradition of book, art or album burning from decades or even centuries past. The group SouthingtonSOS has organized an event that will offer people a $25 gift card to turn in their violent video games, which will later be broken and ultimately incinerated. The group explains their plan, saying it's not blaming video games for the massacre, but they're a bad influence nonetheless:
"The group's action is not intended to be construed as statement declaring that violent video games were the cause of the shocking violence in Newtown on December 14th. Rather, SouthingtonSOS is saying is that there is ample evidence that violent video games, along with violent media of all kinds, including TV and Movies portraying story after story showing a continuous stream of violence and killing, has contributed to increasing aggressiveness, fear, anxiety and is desensitizing our children to acts of violence including bullying. Social and political commentators, as well as elected officials including the president, are attributing violent crime to many factors including inadequate gun control laws, a culture of violence and a recreational culture of violence."
Again we have this claim of "ample evidence" about video games effects on children, when in reality there is anything but. And the fact remains that tying something to "increased aggressiveness" in some small sample is still worlds away from what it takes to make someone a mass killer. Next, of course there's the evidence we've already discussed, about how other countries with huge gaming populations like Japan have incredibly low murder rates, much of it likely due to the inaccessibility of guns, rather than the type of media they consume.
This group might release a statement saying that they don't blame video games, but to organize the equivalent of a gun buyback for games implies both are equally dangerous, which would be a laughable notion if people weren't taking it so seriously. And then burning them? When have those who have burned books or works of art they felt "corruptible" ever been on the right side of history?
I understand people need to cope and feel like they're doing something to prevent future tragedies, but this is one of the most misguided attempts I've seen to date, and denigrates an entire industry for no reason.
There are often few answers to be found when these sorts of tragedies occur, but if we're trying to look at the cold, hard data, video games can not reasonably be anywhere near the top of the list in terms of blame. As for the actual motivating factors like poor parenting and mental health? They contribute, but those things exist in countries around the world as well. The only common thread appears to be the fact that we live in a country where there are 88 guns for every 100 people. Yes, there will always be the evil and unstable out there. A man in China around the time of the Newton shooting slashed over 20 schoolchildren with a knife. But as he didn't have access to a gun, those 20 children are alive today. No word on his gaming preferences, however.
Video games are not guns, and to treat them as equally dangerous is helping no one and doing nothing but obscure the true causes of tragedies like this.
I have the same problem with this headline as the original one on Polygon. Claiming they're "burning" the games in the same fashion as a good-ole book burning is, while technically accurate, misleading and inflammatory (no pun intended.) The games will be incinerated just like any trash. It's not a public, dance-around-the-bonfire ceremonial burning that the headline implies.
I think it's an important distinction. I do have a problem with what they're doing now – it is certainly misguided. But I don't think it has quite the same hostility as is typically associated with public book burnings.
Thanks for posting that. I still don't like what they are doing, but that definitely lessens it for me.
So you are saying that they will do it, but "nicely"?
What's the difference in practical terms?
So technical accuracy is the same thing as inflammatory and misleading? It's amounting to the same thing and is actually dumber than doing a public burning. It doesn't make any sense.
Does that really make a difference? This seems to me like one of those things that is just wrong and how many people are standing around when they do it does nothing to change that for me.
Totally agree, this is straight out of the Dark Ages.. However, I do think too many *young* children get their hands on adult games at a far too young age. It's parents who are gamers themselves who are convinced there is absolutely nothing wrong with playing games, no matter how violent, and therefore let their kids play whatever's on hand. I do think this could be bad for a child. For example… I was visiting a friend who had an kid about 8 years old. While we were there, this kid was stuck on some part of a game. For almost an hour he would sneak around and violently and graphically slit some guys throat and massacre dozens of people. Blood gushing and very realistic. Over and over and over again. It was even starting to bother me. I do think most kids can understand reality from video games, however a child's mind, rational and logic does not work the same. Being exposed to such unconsequential violence at such a young age can't be good. The rating system is supposed to take care of this, but many parents (like movies too) tend to ignore this. I don't know how else to keep children away from these 'shiny cool toys,' but I think more could be done.
Adults can subject themselves to whatever media they want, but I do feel uneasy knowing so many kids left to their own devices are able to see/play many of these major bloody titles. However, it's not the media's fault and should not be censored just because parent's don't pay enough attention to their kids. Book…er game burning is not the way to handle this, that's a given.
Germany already did this in Stuttgart with everything they called "Killerspiele":
It didn't particularly work out that well:
Although, giving out money/giftcards might make some streetwise people turn up with old games they don't need anymore they can hand in so they can buy some new ones with that money.
I wonder what their criteria is for classifying a video game as violent. Do they just have a list of games you can bring in? can I bring in my n64 version of golden eye to get 25 bucks?
I'd suggest instead offering $25 per head to burn NRA members, but that would be wrong and counter-productive :(
Those Chinese school children, their attacker was stopped by a guard whom was put in place by the previous attackers whom killed 20 and wounded 50 children. Your conclusion is bad, I could present the argument that because the Chinese so heavily censer their media and thus Video games the direct conclusion is the lack of mass murders of Chinese school children by assault weapons. Stop tossing the 2nd Amendment under the bus in a poor attempt to preserver the 1st.

JERUSALEM — Just a few days ago, Yair Lapid was a political rookie making his first foray into Israeli elections with a newly formed centrist party. He awoke Wednesday as a major power broker.
Israeli pundits and journalists wasted no time anointing Lapid, 49, a possible heir-apparent to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, whose conservative Likud Party delivered a disappointing performance at the polls. Lapid's new party, Yesh Atid ("There Is a Future"), won 19 seats, nearly overtaking Likud, which came in first with 20.

When Jonathan Wild was led to the gallows at Tyburn it caused a sensation in 18th century London. Executions were common for even minor infractions but this one was different.
Wild was London's master criminal, aided by the fact he was also its chief law enforcement officer as the Under Marshall. Wild profited from fencing stolen goods and anyone who opposed him would soon find themselves accused of theft and invariably sentenced to death by the equally corrupt English judiciary.
All in all Jonathan Wild is responsible for sending roughly 40 political enemies and
accomplices to the hangman. The scandal would be one of the earliest events in
a chain that convinced the British to eventually abolish capital punishment
about 100 years later.
Then, as now, many arguments were raised against abolishment. It punishes the worst of the worst offenders and acts as a deterrent to future offenders were two of the most popular rallying cries. But then, as now, the death penalty may punish but it does not deter.
It never has.
And the counter argument raised by the shocking events of the Jonathan Wild affair, that innocent men were probably executed, is just as jarring and sobering today as it was then.
I understand those who support the death penalty. On a fundamental level, deep in the oldest part of my mammalian brain, I understand the need for retribution and even vengeance. And I also understand the need to deter the fringes of society from terrorizing me or (more importantly) those I love.
But as a rational human being I also understand that these feelings are driven by largely by fear and not actuality. If someone I loved was the victim of a terrible crime I, admittedly, would find it difficult to wish anything other than death upon the person responsible.
But that death will not deter anyone else from doing the same thing to some other innocent person. Texas and Florida are the two states responsible for the most executions in modern America. Houston, Miami, El Paso and other cities are still as violent as ever. The death penalty has changed nothing.
Instead state budgets are drained by endless appeals, paid for in their entirety by taxpayers like you and me. And there is of course still that greatest of all costs. A
conversation with any of the dozens of people exonerated from death row just in
the last 20 years will make that particularly obvious. Or perhaps you can
ask Johnny Garrett, except you can't, he's dead. Killed by the State of Texas
12 years before DNA evidence linked another man to the killing and rape of
an Amarillo nun.
If the rational argument of the expense or failure of the death penalty to deter doesn't convince us to abolish it, perhaps it is just as fitting then that fear should
motivate us to do so instead.
Fear drives some of us to embrace the death penalty but it should also drive even more of us to reject it. Because while we want to punish those who have wronged us, the next person to be punished may be you or me. Maybe the prosecuting attorney was a true showman who understood how to work a jury (he wore a Ravens watch after all and I love the Ravens), or maybe it's just been a long week and earning $10 per day is no fun. Regardless actual innocence is often irrelevant, legal guilt is all that matters and the needle doesn't care either way.

For admission information, see Graduate Admission and Program Specific Application Requirements
Requirements for the Program
Two routes to the master's degree in the human sciences are available. (Not all routes are possible for all human sciences fields of study.) They are:
Course requirements:
Completion of three basic human sciences courses. Substitutions for these courses are not permitted. A student may be exempted from this requirement by petition to the appropriate department. The petition must be in writing and, if approved, written evidence of the exemption must be forwarded to the Graduate School by the appropriate department chair. The exemption is made a part of the student's record.
Completion of a concentration of not fewer than 15 credits (not more than one of the basic human sciences courses may be included in the concentration). The concentration may be individually designed to meet specific needs of the student. The number of credits required for an individualized program varies with the needs of the program and course prerequisites. Under ordinary circumstances, 36 or more credits constitute an individualized program.
Basic Human Sciences Courses
Students elect three basic human sciences courses from different disciplines. These constitute the basic component of the human sciences program. When a human sciences course is formally exempted, another course must be taken. Exemption does not constitute credit. Basic courses include:
Psychology Concentration
The purpose of the concentration in psychology is to broaden the student's perspective and increase understanding of the principles of human behavior as they apply to current roles or positions. This program does not qualify the student to become a professional psychologist or counselor, and the Department of Psychology does not hold this program to be a vehicle to the practice of psychology or counseling.
The concentration in psychology is a 30-credit program that requires PSY 500 or PSY 505, two other basic human sciences courses from two different disciplines and at least five additional graduate courses offered by the Department of Psychology for which the student qualifies. Each program may be individually designed to meet the specific needs of the student. Courses in each program are cooperatively selected by the student and the adviser. All course prerequisites will be strictly enforced. Programs of study may focus upon several themes identified by the department or upon a different theme defined by the student in consultation with the adviser.
Examples of possible programs are given below.
General/Experimental Psychology
Three basic human sciences courses:
Two additional basic human sciences courses from different disciplines to be selected from the listing under Basic Human Sciences Courses.
Four advanced courses:
Three elective courses.
Comprehensive examination.
**Note: The General/Experimental Program requires that a minimum of 15 credits be psychology-prefixed courses.
Helping Relationship
**Note: The Helping Relationships Program requires that a minimum of 15 credits be psychology-prefixed courses.
An additional basic human sciences course from a different discipline to be selected from the listing under Basic Human Sciences Courses.
Comprehensive examination or Master's Thesis.
**Note: The Gerontology Concentration requires that a minimum of 6 credits be gerontology-prefixed courses and a minimum of 9 credits be psychology-prefixed courses.
Individualized Program
An individualized program requires the completion of 36 credits.
Two additional basic human sciences courses from a different discipline to be selected from the listing under Basic Human Sciences Courses.

Nov. 25, 2013
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Four Florida State football players were officially named finalists for five different post-season awards Monday.
Redshirt freshman quarterback Jameis Winston has been named one of three finalists for both the Maxwell Award and Davey O'Brien Award (the former given to the nation's best player and the latter to the top quarterback), and senior cornerback Lamarcus Joyner is one of three in contention for the Jim Thorpe Award given annually to the nation's best defensive back.
Junior Nick O'Leary is one of three finalists for the John Mackey Award presented to the country's best tight end and redshirt freshman Roberto Aguayo is in the mix for the Lou Groza Award bestowed upon college football's premier kicker.
Winston is in the midst of a record-breaking, Heisman-Trophy caliber season in his first year playing for the `Noles. Winston heads into Saturday's rivalry game at Florida with a nation's-best passer-rating of 194.5 and is one touchdown pass shy of tying Chris Weinke's 2000 school record for most touchdown tosses in a single season (33). He already owns the Atlantic Coast Conference record for touchdowns thrown in a season by a freshman and is closing in on the conference's rookie record for passing yardage.
Winston is joined by Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel and Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron on the Maxwell and Davey O'Brien lists of finalists.
Joyner, who has already been named one of five finalists for the Bronko Nagurski Trophy given to the top defensive player in college football, is in contention for the Thorpe Award because he's been a ball-hawking, havoc-wreaking playmaker for the FSU secondary all season. No defensive back has more sacks than Joyner's Seminoles-best five and he's also added 6 1/2 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles, an interception and a team second-best 55 total tackles through 11 games.
Other Jim Thorpe Award finalists include Michigan State's Draqueze Dennard and Oklahoma State's Justin Gilbert.
O'Leary has a chance to go down as the greatest tight end in Florida State history as his seven touchdown catches this season have pushed his career total to a school-record 11 among players at his position. O'Leary currently has 27 catches for 457 yards and has seen his ability to be an impact blocker increase dramatically in his third season. Other John Mackey Award finalists include North Carolina's Eric Ebron and Washington's Austin Seferian-Jenkins.
As for Aguayo, the strong-legged kicker has been sensational as Dustin Hopkins' replacement. Aguayo is 15-of-16 on field-goal attempts this season and currently owns the national record for consecutive extra points made with a streak that is at 80 in a row and counting. Texas' Anthony Fera and USF's Marvin Kloss are also finalists.
Winners of the Maxwell, Davey O'Brien, Thorpe and Lou Groza awards will be announced live on ESPN's broadcast of The Home Depot College Football Awards Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. ET from the Atlantic Dance Hall at Disney's BoardWalk in Orlando, Fla. The John Mackey Award winner will be announced Dec. 11 and then presented the following night at the awards show.
Florida State fans are encouraged to purchase tickets to see these players and the rest of the No. 2 `Noles Saturday, Dec. 7 at the Dr. Pepper ACC Championship Game in Charlotte, NC. To buy tickets, click the graphic below or call 1-888-FSU-NOLE.

text: Adventure-touring bikes are hot right now. So hot, in fact, that folks have been dropping the "touring" suffix lately and just calling them "adventure bikes." Seems every Tom, Dick and Harry has started calling himself Helge and is planning to ride around the world. Or at least hoping to look like he is. The trouble with adventure bikes is they're often expensive. Never mind the fact that the BMW R1200GS is a perennial best-seller, not everyone has 20-large to drop on a motorcycle. At the high end, Yamaha's Super Tenere, at $14,500, is the bargain of the bunch. That's a big check to write, especially if the rider in question has a spouse who's not wholly invested in the, um, investment. That's where these two middleWeights come in. Priced at less than half of what a top-of-the-line adventure bike costs, the Kawasaki Versys ($7899) and Suzuki V-Strom 650 ($8299 with standard ABS) can do everything those bikes can do without killing the rest of your travel budget. Plus they get such exceptional fuel mileage that you could literally ride them for years on the money you saved. Each is now in its second generation. The Suzuki is both older and newer, having debuted in 2003 and been redesigned for 2012. It benefits (if that's the word) from the same sort of redesign that the SV650 underwent a few years ago, with softer, rounder edges and a two-tone paint scheme. So yes, you could say it's been hit with the Gladius stick. Nicknamed the "Wee-Strom" in deference to its 1000cc bigger brother, "Wii-Strom" might now be more fitting as it looks like something out of a video game. The Versys dash adheres to the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) school of thought. The analog/digital combo isn't exciting or comprehensive, but it gets the job done. The Versys dash adheres to the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) school of thought. The analog The Versys broke cover in 2008, and was redesigned for 2010. Already celebrated in these pages as our 2008 Motorcycle of the Year, it likewise underwent a makeover with a more aggressive shape, vertically stacked headlights and a two-tone paint scheme. It arguably looks even more like something out of a video game, and in fact wouldn't look out of place in a Transformers movie. Interestingly, both of our testbikes were mustard-colored, the Versys French's yellow and the V-Strom Gulden's spicy brown. "Spicy" only applies to their paint, however, as both of these bikes are capable if not peppery performers. With around 60 horsepower on tap, these twin-cylinder 650s are just powerful enough to be fun for a solo rider, but add a passenger and/or luggage and they fall flat. Oh, they'll still haul you uphill, and accelerate you to freeway speeds; it just takes longer—plan your passes accordingly. Even so, it's enough power for most people, most of the time. Of the two, the Kawasaki's engine is more captivating. More oversquare, with a bigger bore and shorter stroke than the Suzuki's, it has a revvy, frolicky feel, all without sacrificing midrange pull. Parallel-twins aren't renowned for their smoothness, however, and true to form the Versys is annoyingly buzzy at freeway speeds. The V-Strom's 90-degree V-twin should theoretically run smoother, and while it is less buzzy than the Versys, it still vibrates more than we'd like. The Kawasaki's flank-mounted shock is easily accessible, but that spring preload collar is still harder to turn than the V-Strom's hydraulic knob. The Kawasaki's flank-mounted shock is easily accessible, but that spring preload collar is With a tad more torque on tap, the Kawasaki has superior roll-on power, but its on/off throttle response can be jerky. Light flywheels combined with high compression make for pronounced engine braking; a little clutch slippage helps. Tell your sportbike buddies your bike has a "carbon-based slipper clutch." That'll throw them. The Suzuki feels slower under hard acceleration, but actually makes more peak power than the Kawasaki, and is quicker in the quarter-mile. Part of this may be due to the V-Strom's V-twin engine, which is deceptively happy to lope along. It's also geared quite low, as you find yourself riding a gear or two taller than normal. Again, as with the Versys, there is pronounced engine braking; a little clutch slippage helps. The V-Strom wins on fuel economy, routinely getting 50 miles per gallon or more. Combine that with its 5.3-gallon gas tank and you can go 250 miles on a tankful. If you commute to work, you'll fill up once a week. The Versys' 5.0 gallons against mid-40s average mpg add up to somewhat less. 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | » | View Full Article By Brian Catterson Enjoyed this Post?

Head-on crash seriously injures Halifax woman
- Last Updated on 07:35 AM 03/25/13
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
A 55-year-old Halifax woman was seriously injured in a two-vehicle head-on wreck that occurred Thursday at 5:05 p.m. on Highway 360 (Mountain Road), one-tenth of a mile west of State Route 676 (Thompson's Store Road) in Halifax.
According to an accident report filed by Virginia State Trooper A. D. Dishman, Judy Chappell was driving a 2000 Honda Accord when she crossed the centerline and struck a 2004 Chevy Express van driven by 63-year-old Michael Vernon of Halifax.
In an effort to avoid impact, Vernon tried to move off the road to the right when he was struck by the Honda. The impact of the crash and the slope of the embankment caused the van to overturn, Dishman said.
Vernon received minor injuries in the wreck but was not transported to the hospital.
Halifax Rescue Squad transported Chappell to the helipad in South Boston, and Air Mobile One airlifted her to Wake Medical Center, Dishman said.
The trooper said family members on Friday said Chappell was listed in serious condition with non-life threatening injuries.
Both drivers were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash, Dishman said.
Charges are pending in the wreck, and both vehicles were listed as total losses, according to the report.
Later Thursday evening, a 16-year-old juvenile escaped injury when the 2003 Chevy Trailblazer he was driving ended up in a tree in the 2000 block of Clays Mill Road in Halifax.
According to an accident report filed by Dishman, the juvenile, who had no driver's license or learners permit, had taken his grandfather's Trailblazer without permission.
Dishman said the juvenile claimed the backend of the Chevrolet came out causing him to lose control and run out of the road striking a tree and knocking it over blocking the road.
A citizen with a chainsaw came and cut the tree out of the road, the trooper said.
Dishman charged the juvenile with reckless driving and driving without a license.
Damage to the Trailblazer was estimated as a total loss.
