The Norman Transcript
MOORE — It was a loss that stuck in Jacob Tilley's gut. Losing to Southmoore in 2012 was a difficult experience for the Westmoore senior to swallow.
Coming into this year's Southwest Showdown, Tilley and his Jaguar teammates wanted to make sure they didn't have to experience that type of defeat again. And that resilience showed as No. 5 Westmoore defeated their rivals 31-13 Friday at Moore Stadium to earn only the second win in the last six years over the seventh-ranked SaberCats.
"It's just a great feeling," Tilley said. "We took a hard loss last year. This week was all about our reckoning. We had to make a wrong right and we did that tonight."
Last year the Jaguars (2-0) didn't have the services of Dahu Green, who had just transferred into the school district. Playing in his first Southwest Showdown, the junior receiver hauled in 7 passes for 73 yards and two touchdowns to pave the way for the Jaguars.
It was a difficult loss for the SaberCats (1-1) to absorb, especially seniors, like Jalen Adams, who have now lost to Westmoore two of the last three years.
"It's tough," Adams said. "Your senior year coming into this. Feeling the adversity that came our way this game was tough. We just couldn't overcome it tonight. We are going to come into next week a lot more ready for that game. I think this is going to be a lesson learned for us."
Both teams got off to a slow start offensively. Southmoore's vaunted run game was being shut down at the line of scrimmage while the Jaguars were unable to string together any positive plays in the first half.
It wasn't until midway through the second quarter that Westmoore began to move the ball, with quarterback Bryson Lee scrambling for first downs. Lee then connected with Green for a 25-yard pass play down to the SaberCats' 5-yard line. Green was being guarded by Reginald Danzler, but the 6-foot-3 Green was able to leap over Danzler for the catch.
"I knew they had seen a little bit of film and seen me catch a few jump balls last week," Green said. "We just put the ball downfield and I'm a lot taller than their corner. I thought they were going to put the safety over the top. But we have so many other weapons on offense that putting two men on one person is going to leave somebody open."
Two plays later, Kieron Hardrick scored from four yards out to give the Jaguars a 7-0 advantage.
Southmoore hurt themselves on special teams with a muffed punt return recovered by the Jags on the Cats' 16-yard line.
Green made them pay again with an 11-yard touchdown catch to put the Jags up 14-0. Westmoore went up by 21 points when Green caught a 17-yard TD catch that came on fourth down.
Southmoore was unable to get anything going on offense until the end of third when Jaelon Walker put the SaberCats on the board with a 5-yard touchdown run.
However, the Jags responded when Lee connected with Deshawn Lookout for a 75-yard touchdown pass. Lookout caught a slant pass across the middle, streaked down the middle of the field untouched and gave the Jags a 21-point advantage.
The SaberCats added a touchdown when Dunya Rice caught a 27-yard pass, but it wasn't enough, as Westmoore held on for the win and claimed its second city championship in three seasons.
"It's big," Lee said. "Gives us all the momentum in the world. It's a great win for the school because we needed it. We needed to beat these guys. It's the best thing ever. This is our house. We beat all the Moore teams. This is our field."

Threshold Immunoligand Assay
The Threshold™ Immunoligand Assay (ILA) measures a broad range of analytes such as proteins, peptides, sequence specific DNA and micro-organisms for biopharmaceutical development and production. Samples can range from fermentation supernatants, samples from a purification process, and other biochemical preparations to serum or other bodily fluids. Assays can be developed using a sandwich or competitive format depending on the size and characteristics of the analyte to be measured. The assay consists of four steps, labeling the antibody, the reaction stage, the separation stage and the detection stage.
|Labeling the Antibody
|Using the ILA labeling Kit, antibodies are reproducibly labeled in about 2 hours by mixing them with N-hydroxysuccinimide esters of dinitrophenyl-biotin and fluorescein provided in the kit. Becasue both haptens are chromogenic, photometric measurements are used to determine the number incorporated
|Reaction Stage
|In the reaction stage, labeled antibodies, the sample solution containing the analyte of interest, streptavidn, and anti-fluoresceneine/urease conjugate are incubated together to form a reaction complex. Since this binding occurs in solution, all molecules are maintained in their native conformation to assure accurate measurement of the analyte and 100% activity of the antibody.
|Separation Stage
|The reaction mixture containing the reaction complex is filtered through a biotinylated membrane. By leveraging the strong affinity streptavidin has for biotin, the reaction complex is captured and concentrated on the membrane.
|Detection Stage
|The membrane with the captured reaction complex is placed in the Threshold System which contains the substrate urea. The urea is hydrolyzed by urease producing a pH change that is detected by the systems light-addressable potentiometric sensor. Urease activity from up to eight different samples can simultaneouly measured on the Threshold system.
Using the ILA Labeling Kit, the following assays have been demonstrated.
- Application of rapid immunoassays (Fast ILA) in cell culture/fermentation and process development using the Threshold System.
- Contaminante bovine IgG assay.
- Contaminante bovine transferrin assay.
- Contaminante BSA assay.
- Contaminante host cell-derived protein assay.
- Contaminante human transferrin assay.
- Protein A contaminant assay.
- Protein G contaminant assay.
- Optimizing the labeling of proteins.
- Sequence-specific DNA assay.
The Threshold Immunoligand Assay Kit includes all of the reagents required to perform a Threshold System assay, except binding protein (such as antibodies) or DNA probes specific for the analyte of interest. The kit includes Capture Reagent, Enzyme Reagent, membrane sticks, substrate concentrate, and appropriate buffers and washes. A Universal Standard is also included, which can be used for training and trouble-shooting purposes without using the specific binding proteins and analyte.
Immunoligand Assay Detection Kit 192 determinations includes: (1) Universal Standard Reagent, (6) Enzyme Reagent, (1) Capture Reagent, (6) Threshold Blank Sticks, (24) Threshold Sticks, (1) Substrate, (1) Assay Buffer Concentrate, (1) Wash Buffer Concentrate
Immunoligand Assay Labeling Kit includes: 2 vials Biotin label (5 mg/vial), 2 vials Fluorescein label (5 mg/vial)

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — PELHAM – Two dozen Pelham Memorial School students are back home from a journey to history.
A weekend trek in the New Hampshire wilderness took the middle school students to the wreckage from a World War II bomber crash that tested the crew's survival skills.
Before their daylong adventure on Mount Waternomee, teacher Jay Palmieri asked the students to close their eyes and imagine what went through the crew member's minds as they climbed from the wreckage with broken bones, scrapes and cuts in blizzard conditions on a remote mountainside.
"I think it must have been pretty difficult," seventh-grader Brittany Ducharme said yesterday, reflecting on the hike and pondering what the crew experienced.
"It was difficult for us. It was steep. We had to figure out our way across a stream. In 1942, it was snowing and it would have been hard for them to see where they were going," Brittany said. "I think it almost would have been a miracle for them to survive that crash."
But five of the crew members did survive that B-18 crash 70 years ago in the White Mountains.
The crash happened after the crew became lost in the snowstorm as they returned to Westover air base in Massachusetts after patrolling for German subs in the North Atlantic.
"It's pretty amazing they crashed on that mountain and survived," seventh-grader Rachael LaVallee said. "This was my first time. I hadn't hiked before. It was so hard."
The students hiked 4.6 miles and spent the day doing it.
Conditions, while not as bad as those experienced by the bomber crew, were enough to give the students an appreciation for the World War II adventure.
Rain had created muddy, slippery going for the students.
"The mud was bad. Literally every time I would step down there was a puddle of water in my shoes," seventh-grader McKenzie Kozak said.
The students estimated they spent an hour trying to find a way across a mountain stream safe enough for all of them to pass.
What they found amazed them, debris scattered over the mountain.
"Big parts, small parts everywhere," LaVallee said.
"We came across this huge engine that was probably the size of me," seventh-grader Haley Vinciguerra said.
The condition of the parts surprised the Pelham hiking party.
"The parts look like they are brand new," teacher Kevin Correa said.
"We thought they would be rusted," McKenzie said.
Madison Burke saw a wing from the plane and then a symbol of the country.
"There was a star on the wing," she said. "That was pretty cool to see."
Two of the crew members died in the crash. The students paused to plant a few small American flags.
"To symbolize and honor what the crew did for us," seventh-grader Blythe Vageant said.
Palmieri has stressed that point with the students.
"Because of men like these who died in the crash, we are able to do things like this hike," Palmieri said.
Most of the hikers are part of Pelham Memorial's six-year-old hiking club, which Correa and teacher Emily Whalen advise.
They not only hike together, but sometimes look after town conservation trails.
Last weekend's hike was one of their longest and certainly their most historic, Correa said.
He was proud of them for completing the hike.
"Look, out of 24 students, for 80 percent of them this was a first-time hike," Correa said. "They all made it."

The Ada News
Ada —
An Ada man who confessed to committing four burglaries, including an August 2012 break-in at The Ada News, is facing charges of second-degree burglary.
James N. Anglin was arrested without incident Wednesday afternoon at his home, 208 E. 14th St., Ada Police Detective Destry Musgrove said Thursday. Anglin was booked into the Pontotoc County Justice Center on suspicion of second-degree burglary.
Anglin, 38, is accused of breaking into the Ada Paper Co. three times in the spring of 2012 and stealing cash and a fuel card which he used and later returned to the company, Musgrove said.
Anglin also allegedly broke into The Ada News office sometime during the weekend of Aug. 24, stealing about $3,800 in cash and checks.
Musgrove said a confidential informant told police that Anglin was responsible for The Ada News burglary and had hidden a money bag in the newspaper's ceiling. Armed with that information, police recovered three money bags from the ceiling in the southeast corner of the newspaper's darkroom on Wednesday.
The money bags contained three deposits dated Aug. 24, 2012, but Anglin apparently spent the cash he took from the newspaper office, Musgrove said.
The District 22 Drug Task Force obtained a search warrant for Anglin's home, and authorities executed the warrant at the same time as Anglin's arrest.
Musgrove said that Anglin has confessed to all four burglaries.
The News' publisher, Loné Beasley, said he appreciated the police department's work on the case.
"Obviously, when something like this happens, you feel violated," Beasley said. "We are eager to see justice done."
He said Anglin was a former independent contractor who delivered newspapers for the News.

Jim Scofield
Despite Horatio Alger myths, America's accomplishment hasn't been mainly about individuals' chances for success. We are regaled with stories of Bill Gates and even lesser figures who have made their fortunes.
But the real achievement has been in places such as Johnstown, where a lot of average people could have good-paying jobs and not because they made their own way. No, it was because of political organizations and unions that they were able to win better pays, shorter hours (steelworkers had to put in 72-hour weeks until the 1920s) and good benefits.
They changed the economic bargain collectively and built and created a real middle class, one that could afford good housing, autos and appliances, stimulating businesses in these markets and the overall economy.
The Andrew Carnegies and Henry Fords pushed their industries forward and made fortunes for themselves, but often at the expense of the low-wage workers they employed. The American dream, however, was not just becoming individually rich, but moving the exploited underclass up from subsistence wages, long hours and few benefits.
It's interesting to hear a rebroadcast excerpt from a Lyndon Johnson 1964 campaign speech that attacks poverty and asserts that "poverty is not a trait of character ... but is created by circumstances."
No candidate today would dare make such a statement.
Despite the highest poverty rate in decades – 15 percent – neither major party mentions this issue. Candidates feel safe only in identifying with the middle class. They cite only examples of those who overcame childhood poverty, lifting themselves through hard work and dedication, with their own individual efforts.
In reality, social mobility in the United States is lower than in many European countries. Social class still defines most people's futures. Being left in poverty is not simply a bad individual choice.
Mitt Romney explicitly faults the lower classes as sponging off government handouts, as do many other conservatives. He cites the fact that 47 percent of households don't pay federal income taxes and, thus, he believes, don't "take personal responsibility and care for their lives" but believe they are "entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it."
This 47 percent, by the way, is by far the highest figure in years, driven up by the recession and the recent rounds of tax cuts.
Of course, at least half of seniors are included in this figure, as are the 20-plus million unemployed or underemployed, as are many of those making less than $30,000 annually.
Farmworkers, waiters, hotel maids, many secretarial and office workers, maintenance personnel – the many who make around $10 an hour – don't pay much income tax.
Better pay produces more tax revenues.
Also, not surprisingly, many making well over $50,000 annually, and some making $1 million, don't pay income taxes, either.
We should add that tax rates for America's rich are the lowest in 70 years.
Behind this failure to address our poverty problem is the old puritan ethic suspicion that many people are lazy or, in Republican lingo, they like being dependent on the industrious core of America.
Although most of America's poor are white, and most blacks are middle class, there is a concealed racist appeal behind these beliefs, perhaps sometimes unconscious, but all the more virulent because we have a black president.
Such misconceptions persist despite the fact that a significant chunk of American families encounter hunger at times during the year, having either a "lack of enough nutritious food or very little food" (22 percent of the population, according to the Agriculture Department).
Nevertheless, food stamps, welfare (mainly reserved for women with small children) and even unemployment are routinely derided.
Our family apparently pays a higher rate of income tax than does Mitt Romney's, but we are glad that it helps to provide food stamps, school lunches (both of these also Agriculture Department subsidies for farmers) and welfare for families with small children.
We can't figure how Americans, much less a political party, can so contemptuously fail their human commitment to ensure decent living standards and good health care for all.
How can they be so indifferent to the general welfare, as if they principally had the right to the bounty that generations have created, and watch or ignore while others suffer on the sidelines?
What kind of people are we?

text: In this exclusive clip from The Collection DVD extras, director Marcus Dunstan and film stars Emma Fitzpatrick, Andre Royo, and Tim Griffin talk about the casting process for this follow-up to 2009's The Collector. The Collection hits blu-ray and DVD on March 26th. When Elena is talked into attending an underground warehouse party with her friends, she finds herself caught in a nightmarish trap where the revelers are mowed, sliced and crushed to death by a macabre series of contraptions operated by a masked psychopath. When the grisly massacre is over, Elena is the only survivor. But before she can escape, she is locked in a trunk and transported to an unknown location. Fortunately for Elena, one man—Arkin —knows exactly where she's headed, having just escaped from there with his life and sanity barely intact. Elena's wealthy father hires a crack team of mercenaries to force Arkin to lead them to the killer's lair. But even these hardened warriors are not prepared for what they encounter. up50

How to Get a Job When You're 60 Plus
A reader writes that her age is getting in the way of her job hunt. Here's what to do.
Karen writes:
I recently lost a job because a younger person was also applying while I was there. I am in my 60s—not that old, good looking, professional, with lots of experience. Is there anything I need to do to secure the job despite my age? I obviously made an impression to be called back for the second interview, but I didn't get the job. I'm losing my confidence!
Karen, don't lose your confidence! But you may need to put a bit more effort into your search. Here are some tips:
Look at specialized job sites. You'll probably feel more confident about applying for a position that was specifically advertised to older workers. Check out RetirementJobs.com, Seniors4Hire.org, or Jobs 4.0.
Refresh your skills. You may have plenty of experience and be very sharp, but if you haven't kept your skills fresh or your knowledge seems out of date, you'll hit some obstacles. Are you tech savvy, or do you need to brush up with continuing-education courses? Do you need to learn Spanish to stay competitive in your field? I interviewed Jon Zion, president of eastern operations for Robert Half International, for a recent story on how an older worker can get an interview. He said older workers are highly employable but can improve their chances by increasing their knowledge and flexibility. The more you know about computers, the more languages you speak, the more willing you are to move—the better your chances.
Show your g en Y savvy. List a younger person as one of your references—someone who can speak to your team-building skills and ability to manage (or be open to) younger people. Also, create a profile on LinkedIn and get comfortable with online social networks, while still tapping your local chamber of commerce and your many contacts. (Contacts are acquaintances you've met professionally or personally throughout the decades. You should be contacting each and every one of these people. Make a list. Be assertive—rather than aggressive—but make sure they know you're looking for a job in a particular industry and briefly note your qualifications. You never know whom they know).
Address the age issue. Candidness is the best policy when it comes to your gray hairs, according to Renee Rosenberg, a career coach with the Five O'Clock Club. Be frank about your age and experience in your interviews. Make bold and thoughtful statements, such as: "I've been in this industry a long time. Let me tell you how that can help you."
You might want to mention a recent survey by Sirota Survey Intelligence that found that "traditionalist" workers—those 63 and up—have some major advantages over other age groups. They tend to be more satisfied and proud of their work and of the company itself, more willing to go the extra mile, and more satisfied with their compensation. Older workers have had years to temper expectations and can actually be more resilient in a changing workplace, Sirota reports.
Consider a new industry. The healthcare field can hardly hire enough employees to meet demand. Maybe your skills are transferable to a hospital system or healthcare staffing firm, or you can invest some time in classes to become a nursing assistant—a good pick for an older worker, AARP reports.

Weatherford Democrat
Cutting funding for arts a 'bad idea'
Dear Editor,
The U.S. House of Representatives Appropriations Committee has approved a bill that would cut the National Endowment for the Arts by 49 percent. I think this is a terrible idea and call on our congressional delegation to reject this cut.
According to Americans for the Arts, the nonprofit arts industry (museums, theater and dance companies, performing arts centers, orchestras, arts councils and others) generates $22.3 billion in federal, state, and local tax revenues annually – a yield well beyond their collective $4 billion in arts allocations.
Because the National Endowment for the Arts supports artistic excellence and improves access to the arts by granting funds to nonprofit arts organizations I call on our federal officials to support an increase in funding for the NEA beyond its 1993 funding level of $174 million. That funding figure equals $277 million in today's dollars.
Our schools need more arts education. Despite including the arts as being one of the 10 core academic subjects, the No Child Left Behind law has pushed arts classes to the side. Schools, especially those struggling, can retain their best teachers by becoming incubators for creativity and innovation; places where students want to learn and teachers want to teach.
Students with an education rich in the arts have better grade point averages, score better on standardized tests in reading and math, and have lower dropout rates-findings that cut across all socioeconomic categories. Congress should support an expansion of the federal arts education program to provide the best models for schools to include the arts in their curriculum.
Our rural communities contain some of the greatest cultural assets of our country. Rural economic development should be strengthened to help these communities promote the richness of their heritage and assist local artists with their entrepreneurship.
Across the country, the role of the arts as an economic engine is growing in acceptance and strength. I call on all lawmakers to support funding and policies at the federal level that would recognize the growth potential and direct benefits of encouraging cities and states to strategically invest in the arts in order to drive economic development.
Ms. Oscar Steele,Coppell
Thanks for making 'Mouth Makeover' a success
Dear Editor,
On behalf of all of us at Bowie Drive Dental Care and the Migraine Relief Center of Parker County, I want to thank my patients and the whole community for such a wonderful response during our 30th anniversary celebration a few weeks ago. It's been a pleasure and an honor for this hometown boy to serve and practice here.
We made lots of new friends through our Extreme Mouth Makeover Contest. We appreciate all who entered the contest and helped spread the word about it. It was a humbling experience to see the great need of some of our residents.
The Weatherford Democrat was particularly gracious to provide feature stories on the makeover contest and on the worthy recipients. We appreciate the paper's community spirit!
We're grateful for the opportunity to make a difference in this community. Thank you for making such a difference in our lives.
Dr. Fred and Mrs. Beth Potter, Weatherford

Jana Kramer Recalls Rowdy Relationship in 'Whiskey' – Premiere
January 14, 2013 9:00 AM
Rising country singer-songwriter Jana Kramer released her self-titled debut last June, now she's following up her breakout first single "Why Ya Wanna" with "Whiskey." The track tells the bittersweet story of a relationship with a rough and rowdy guy, and now you can watch the single's video, which follows the torrid affair from its barroom brawl beginnings to the beau's eventual arrest, ending with Kramer sitting by the fizzled fire where the two once sipped, of course, Jack Daniel's.

I thought this type of brush was a cheap disposable item at my local hardware store. The brushes I received from Rockler were even cheaper -- by half! -- and much better quality! Now with perhaps a year's supply, because they last so long without leaving bristles, I won't be driving 22 miles each time I discover I need one.

I love this perfume, there's no doubt about that, but I just don't think it holds up as well as it should for the price. I spray once on the inside of my wrist and once on my neck and by mid-day the scent is barely there. Maybe I need more to spray more, but I'm a "one-two spritz" believer.
Again, I love it, but for the price it really should last longer than it does.

Reading Buddies
The Reading Buddies program for children
Click below to see a video about Reading Buddies, created by CU's Dr. Kayann Short, one of the partners who makes Reading Buddies possible. [Requires Quicktime player.]
Check out this video created about the BoulderReads! Reading Buddies program at Columbine Elementary School (conducted in partnership with the Boulder Valley Family Literacy Program). The video was created by a group of CU students in Petger Schaberg's Program for Writing and Rhetoric at CU Boulder.

- Is fun!
Quotes from little buddies about their big buddies
"I like it 'cause its fun and I like Fred, also 'cause I learn a lot.
I like to read a lot of interesting books to. "
"I think it is fun. It is educational. I have truly succeeded in my reading, which is very important in life. I have made a friend in college, which is really hard to make because they are older than me. My buddy is the coolest college student I have met (besides my mom)."
What parents like about Reading Buddies
"It combines reading with fun activities, a relaxed structure. Love the library environment and the (big) buddies are great role models and neat young people." Unsigned
"My daughter was having difficulty with reading. She's a second grader. Towards the end (of Reading Buddies) we all noticed that things started turning around for her and her reading has greatly improved. I feel this program was a very positive reinforcement for her and encouraged her to keep trying and have fun reading and writing." Susan
"The youngest of my three sons is a ten year-old fourth grader at Foothills Elementary School who has struggled with school and especially reading. I want to relate a voicemail I received last week from the special education teacher that will give you an idea how valuable the Reading Buddies program has been for him. She called to let me know that he had just completed the informal end of the year reading test and he tested to the sixth grade level in both narrative and expository reading with very good comprehension. When he started Reading Buddies he was well below grade level in reading. He tested not at his current level, but two grades above!! As one of Colorado Avalanche TV announcers says when an Av scores a goal, 'Thank you, thank you, thank you!!' " Stuart
"My children, two sons, have participated in this program since last fall session. After taking part in this program, they became interested in reading books and enjoyed going to the library. Their reading buddies provided them with lots of interesting activities as well as reading books. They helped my children improve their reading skills and creative thinking skills. I hope this program will be lasted for a long time and help a lot of children be interested in reading books. Thank you for providing Reading Buddies for my children." Kyung
"My daughter had always had trouble settling down and reading a book for long periods of time. She was never interested or engaged enough to finish the books, which we basically had to force her to read. But after a couple sessions of BoulderReads!, we found that her enthusiasm for reading had increased a lot. She always looked forward to going to the buddy group and always asks us to take her to the library. She enjoys reading so much more and it is no longer a fight for us to get her to read. She reads half-an-hour to an hour each day now. It makes my husband and me so proud to see her doing so much better in school and reading so much more fluently. The group was definitely very helpful to my daughter and I would recommend it to other families whose kids are struggling with reading." Lisa
Reading Buddies is made possible by:
- A grant from the Boulder Public Library Foundation
- In-kind support from the University of Colorado
- In-kind support provided by big buddy volunteers from CU's Farrand Academic Program and Linguistics 1000

Student E-Mail Acceptable Use Policy
Starting in the fall of 2008, Moraine Park Technical College has partnered with Microsoft to offer the Microsoft Live@edu – Exchange Labs hosted E-mail service to students. This hosted E-mail system will provide students the ability to utilize Microsoft Exchange, a popular E-mail system used in business and industry.
Use of E-mail
E-mail is an official means of communication at Moraine Park Technical College (College). The College may send communications to students via E-mail and has the right to expect that those communications are received and read in a timely manner. Information sent via E-mail holds the same importance as communication sent via other methods (mail, phone, etc.). It is recommended that students check their E-mail accounts periodically and consistently. Faculty may further designate how often E-mail must be checked.
Assignment of E-mail Address
An E-mail account will be provided to each student by the College in order to facilitate his or her academic pursuits. Information Technology will assign an E-mail address to all students at the time of network account creation. This E-mail address will be listed in the student record system for College use.
Access to E-mail Services
Access to E-mail will be provided to each student of the College via the Microsoft Exchange Outlook Web Access interface. This interface is available on any workstation that has Internet access by navigating to http://www.morainepark.edu/mymail. The E-mail account is to be used by the account holder only. Students may not give any other individual access to their E-mail account.
E-mail Forwarding
A student may wish to configure their College E-mail account to forward to another E-mail address. If a student wishes to redirect his or her E-mail, he or she may do so at his or her own risk. Often times, E-mail from outside hosts becomes trapped in the spam filters. The College or Microsoft is not responsible for the handling of E-mail by third party providers. Further, the use of automatic forwarding of E-mail does not release the student from the responsibilities of E-mail sent to the College-sponsored account. The College may prohibit the use of automatic forwarding when it is found to be problematic. In addition, the College may delete E-mail forwarding or other automated E-mail handling rules that cause system problems without prior notification.
Lifetime E-mail Services
Students are granted the use of the College E-mail system for life, as long as they continue to periodically access their account. After a student has discontinued academic activity with the College, they must check their account at least once a year or all mail may be subject to deletion.
Acceptable Use
E-mail accounts issued by the College are for academic use only. All accounts provided by the College are not to be used for illegal or immoral activities. In addition, any for-profit venture utilizing the College-sponsored E-mail system is prohibited.
Offensive Content and Harassing or Discriminatory Activities Are Banned
Students are prohibited from using E-mail to engage in activities or transmit content that is harassing, discriminatory, menacing, threatening, obscene, defamatory, or in any way objectionable or offensive.
Students are prohibited from using E-mail to:
- Send, receive, solicit, print, copy, or reply to text or images that disparage others based on their race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, veteran status, disability, ancestry, or age
- Send, receive, solicit, print, copy, or reply to jokes (text or images) based on sex, sexual orientation, race, age, religion, national origin, veteran status, ancestry, or disability
- Send, receive, solicit, print, copy, or reply to messages that are disparaging or defamatory
- Spread gossip, rumors, and innuendos about College students, faculty, and staff, or other parties
- Send, receive, solicit, print, copy, or reply to sexually oriented messages or images
- Send, receive, solicit, print, copy, or reply to messages or images that contain foul, obscene, off-color, or adult-oriented language
- Send, receive, solicit, print, copy, or reply to messages or images that are intended to alarm others, embarrass the College, or negatively impact or harm students
Personal Information Must Be Protected
Students are prohibited from using E-mail to transmit personal confidential information to outside parties. Students may not access, send, receive, solicit, print, copy, or reply to personal information about students, faculty and staff.
Personal Information is defined as the first name or initial and last name" in combination" with one or more of the following nonpublic unencrypted pieces of information:
- a social security number or employer identification number;
- a driver's license or identification card number;
- a bank account, credit card or debit card number accompanied by the applicable passwords or security codes.
"in combination" is defined as the personal information is in the same document or database or contained within separate documents or databases on the same electronic hard drive or media such that the name and the other personal information can be associated together. E.g., a social security number which can be associated with the name of the owner.
Abuse of E-mail privileges and nonobservance of this procedure is considered to be a serious matter and will subject violators to disciplinary action. E-mail privileges may be revoked and violators will be subject to the Sanctions and Appeals Process as defined in the Student Handbook of the College. In addition, it should be understood that this procedure does not preclude further action resulting from the application of pertinent laws and regulations of the State of Wisconsin and/or the United States of America.

A New Golden Cinema Age of Hard Science Fiction?
Moon, Europa Report and Gravity are hard science fiction movies with strong seventies retro vibes from the last years. Oblivion, while being one of these typical end-of-the-world sci-fi flicks which are produced in raw amounts, is visually having at least some mild seventies vibes.
So I wonder whether this is just me finally appreciating hard sci-fi again after having read too much Asimov as a kid and perceiving a trend where none is or whether other folks also see something similar.
Furthermore I wanna raise the question of whether sci-fi in general is becoming better. I do not recall many outstanding sci-fi movies from the nineties or early noughties but Cuar?n's and Jones' two movies (Children of Men, Gravity, Moon, Source Code), Bixby's Man From Earth, District 9, Looper, Chronicle and last but not least von Trier's Melancholia is the kind of stuff which makes you believe that cinema is still a kind of art and not just pop corn entertainment.
So I wonder whether this is just me or a simple perception bias, remembering the recent stuff better than the older stuff, or whether there is something to my hunch.
I'm dying to see 'Gravity' but the damn thing doesn't open for another two weeks so I'm trying to avoid as many spoilers as possible.
I think science fiction is going through a resurgence just now across the range from space opera stuff to that which has a less fantastical and more technical edge. I'm a fan of 'Children of Men', 'Looper', 'Moon' etc and while I'd agree 'Oblivion' is less than the sum of it's parts it one of the most beautiful looking films of the year.
'Source Code' and also 'The Adjustment Bureau' I like but the former is a skoosh on the silly side sometimes, though I guess so is the latter............still both hugely entertaining though.
The only 'new' director just now I'm not jumping on the bandwagon of is Neil Blomkamp. 'Elysium' is actually about the worst film I've seen this year and I'm not big on 'District 9'. Both lack subtlety and nuance which I wouldn't mind if the perception didn't seem to be they were. Or maybe it's just me reacting badly to them. Either way, just now I don't rate him very highly.
I think there were fewer films like that in the 90's and 00's though. There were sci fi films made which are very good ('Twelve Monkeys', 'Contact' etc) though.
I am also becoming less and less interested in such blunt in-your-face movies. Probably the toll of watching TNG-R (some of these typical mediocre 'let's do an allegory on XYZ' TNG scripts are really cringe-worthy). :D
District 9 does IMO only work because it is not just about preaching a message but mainly a get-thrown-into-the-action flick with some of this trashy charm of 80s flicks like RoboCop, They Live and so on. It is easy to do a Hollywood movie about whatever with this ugly condescending liberal distance, well-meaning as long as the poor subjugated folks do not come to close, there is ample of such crap on the market. But a movie win in which the protagonist is proletarized, becomes one of the very guys who is mistreated, is rare.
But of course you are right, District 9 is anything but a perfect movie and if we speak about proletarization, Moon was after all also about it but did it in a far superior way, without any melodrama. Furthermore cloning, biogenetics and so on is slightly more realistic form of being proletarized than becoming an alien.
Children of Men has shown that you can very well make a highly political and good science fiction movie when you put all of the political stuff into the background. Kinda like TOS which never (unnecessarily) signaled to the audience that it is sooo progressive with a Russian, a Japanese and a female Black officer.
I seriously hope the fantasy wave is over ;)
Gravity was nice, but they lost me at "woof woof aoooouuuuh!":smash:
Sometimes it is hard to tell where sci-fi ends and where fantasy starts. Genres are after all just categorizations and a good movie is always good mainly because it is a good movie, not because it is a good sci-fi, fantasy, action or whatever movie.
Let's take hard science-fiction, not all of it is pure hard sci-fi. In the case of 2001 or Gravity it is rather hard sci-fi on the outside and sublime drama on the inside.
Of course sci-fi is usually set in the future whereas fantasy is set in the past but then again Star Wars is both at the same time, archetypical characters are part of a story which happened "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" yet this very past is for us futuristic. You could have the identical structure, i.e. a futuristic past, in a sci-fi movie about Atlantis.
Sci-fi and fantasy have in common that you have more dramatic freedom but then they are not necessary to create dramatic freedom, a David Lynch flick is about a lot of strange, not so ordinary stuff without requiring elves or spaceships. Or, to drive home my point about the irrelevance of genres, elves on a spaceship which is how you could interpret Vulcans: pointy ears, longer lifetimes, a more distanced attitude toward the world.
About Gravity,
in my opinion the scene you refer to is very human. Who would, being in the same situation, not act like the main character did?
Just watched Elysium tonight. Not a brilliant sci-fi movie and slightly repetitive after District 9 (I only learned afterwards that both movies share the same director) but better than most of the crap out there.
I consider Blomkamp's work to be in the tradition of 80s sci-fi trash like RoboCop or They Live, i.e. you get action, profanity and so on on the outside and pure Left with a capital L on the inside.
I like that Elysium illustrated an old point of Gilles Deleuze. Being on the Left first and above all means that your perspective is a general, "zoomed-out" one (By the way, it is no coincidence that it is precisely a nun which tells Max that he should not dream about paradise but think about Earth. Christianity proper is after all not a religion for the elite but for everybody and also deeply materialistic in the sense of "the truth is out there", what matters is what you do, i.e. no Buddhist beautiful soul nonsense.). It doesn't mean that you care more about the folks who are not so well off (which is certainly true for me, I do not give a sh*t about the millions and billions who suffer), you just realize that it cannot go on indefinitely like this.
This is precisely what we have in Elysium. Many people probably dislike the movie because Damon's character is so unlikable. He is a petty criminal and doesn't care about other people. His sacrifice is more due to circumstances than to some actual deep commitment. But we nonetheless sympathize with him because he is totally proletarized. Not just in the classical sense of being a worker who earns little and works in a dangerous, lethal environment but also in the sense of sharing a hellhole with billions of people and having to become a cyborg to survive.
About proletarization, Zizek said it better:
Actually I would say that it is an extremely likely future and I think that the 21st century will be far more horrible than the last one. My taste for utopian sci-fi like Trek is thus not utopian in the sense of dreaming about crazy, unrealistic visions but in the sense of "the actual utopia, the actual no-place is what is happening right now so we gotta come up with something else". It is thus deeply realistic and pragmatic.
If you think about the seemingly most idealistic Trek character, Picard, you realize that this seemingly crazy guy who fu*ks with every second Admiral over principles is at the same time the most realistic, pragmatic and unsentimental character.
So is Elysium a remake of The Cloud Minders or not?
Not really. All they share is the visual 'look up at the golden city from down below' picture of class division.
The key difference is that there are no outsiders like the Enterprise crew in Elysium and that the ending is more radical than in Cloud Minders.
It has been some time since I watched this TOS episode (which I do not like) so my opinion is hardly representative but I have not thought about episode at all while watching Elysium which, as I already pointed out, reminds one more of District 9 due to the same director and the same "dirty" action elements.
