Weekend Nachos, The Long Haul, Pariso, Witch CultTweet
I got in late & missed the first two bands, Merciless Precision & Atomck so here's who I saw:
Let It Die (Main Room)
Witch Cult (Front Room)
Shoot The Bastard (Main Room)
Pariso (Front Room)
The Afternoon Gentleman (Main Room)
The Long Haul (Front Room)
Weekend Nachos (Main Room)
A long anticipated stonking great evening featuring some of the best hardcore around at the moment. It totally didnt fail to please. Not one iota.
I was a bit anxious going down to this gig to be honest as it was entirely feasible that someone who'd been kind of cyber bullying me would be there (you know, making up lies about me, calling me names, threatening me, that sort of shit) but ultimately there was no way I was gonna miss out on this evening & it would've looked like I felt guilty if I hadn't gone. So I went. And shit was I glad that I did coz this was some night.
Two gigs had been amalgamated for this one night, across both front & back rooms at the Croft. The front room was headed up by Weekend Nachos & The Afternoon Gentlemen, the back by Pariso & The Long Haul.
In each room every band improved on the previous one (tho it's probably not accurate to say that of the whole night). If I were to award a top 3 Weekend Nachos would score top spot coz they were, like, out of this world. Really fucking unbelievable. Even better than Trash Talk. Which, I know, is unbelievable. But below them I'd have put Pariso in third place, a mere whisker behind The Long Haul whose music I wasn't too familiar with before seeing them but bloody well am now - top band.
The front room has a capacity of 75 but the whole venue had almost sold out which made for some hot sweaty, fun times in there. Witch Cult were pretty amazing again but coulda done without the hate moshing, (ie the guys in the 'pit' bundling full pelt into those stood round the side). Although that was kind of fun too a bit if I'm completely honest. It makes you feel ALIVE like. Weird how Witch Cult inspire hate noshing - same happened when they played The Gryphon a few months back. Didn't really happen with any of the other bands.
Pariso were as ace as I knew they'd be, still love (obviously) Nothing Beyond Everything After & a lot of what they played was off that. So much riffage. And like I say, The Long Haul were a revelation, riffs n power but clever with it, tricksy tempo changes, chopping around, keeping you on your feet. Literally in my case, bouncing on tip toes quite excitedly.
I was reminded while reading Jed's review of this gig that people were crowdsurfing in the room which, with it's 7 foot ceiling, meant they were getting properly squashed against it. I couldn't stop with the "haha, oof, haha, oof"'s as I watched them.
Weekend Nachos were just astonishing. Pummeling violent hardcore at its pummeling violent best. It was great watching the two sets of fans from different ends of the hardcore spectrum all getting down & dirty with each other. No fucking "my scene's better than your scene" stuff, more like "hey, your scene's pretty cool too" sort of thing. (I imagine, didn't actually hear anyone say that). Hopefully these people will be more adventurous in the future.
Be awesome if the Croft made it law that if someone pays to go into a gig in one room you can also go into the other room between bands, like #indiepop in one room & #deathmetal in the other. It worked with #ukcrush bands in one room & #powerviolence bands in the other so I bet it'd could work with other combo's too. I'd be stoked coz I fucking love anything. Except, as I've pointed out before, britpop.
Mad night anyway, gonna be one of the best of the year no question. Roll on the next one.

Burk raps inside the park salami
Blaine's ace shortstop Alisa Burk rapped an inside-the-park grand slam homerun last week at the Pipe as Blaine used a big fifth inning to dry up Granite Falls 9-1. Burk added two more RBI's with a double and ended up 3 for 3 on the afternoon. Switch-hitting Kristina Francis went 1-3 but got on base a second time when Granite Falls pitcher Lisa Spencer, making her first start, hit Francis in the backside. Amanda Stull went 2-3 and managed to get two stolen bases in one circuit around the diamond before being thrown out in a close play at home. Sirita Lawson, who notched her sixth win against two losses, struck out eight in seven innings and went 3-4 at the plate.
The win lifted Blaine to 6-2 on the year, and 4-2 in league play.
Bs keep knocking at the door
After one of their better offensive performances of the year, the Lady Bs fell victim to a stingy Cougar defense last Monday afternoon at the Pipe. They loaded the bases twice, in the fourth inning with two down and again in the sixth with no outs, but failed to score.
Kristina Francis got on base in the Blaine half of the seventh and last inning. Sirita Lawson followed with a hit followed by Alisa Burk's walk. Kaylyn Bird, representing the tying run, sent a long fly into the outfield for a double but was left stranded on second base as the game ended.
Coach Rob Adams said he's still very pleased with his girls this year. "We're six and three and in third place. We talk about how we always need good pitching, good defense and timely hits, and this time we just didn't get them to move people across the plate." Despite the loss, Blaine out hit Lakewood 7-5.
The girls next play Lynden Christian there at 4:30 p.m. this afternoon, and return home tomorrow at 4:30 to host the visiting Sultan Turks at the Pipe.
vaults 13 before lights go out
Record-setting Blaine senior Kit Schumann went 13 feet in the pole vault last week in a meet at South Whidbey. Vaulting ended when dusk brought things to a halt. Sophomore Erin Lippe, who set a girl's pole vault mark earlier in the year at 9'6", went 8'6" before further jumping was halted.
Freshman runner Melissa Galbraith returned to her winning ways, garnering firsts in both the metric mile (1600) in 5:42 and the 3200, eight circuits in a brisk 12:46. Freshman Alisha Fisher won the long jump. Blaine placed second out of four teams competing, defeating both Granite Falls and Lakewood. Sedro Woolley won both boys and girls meets.
Your last chance to see the thin clads compete at home this season is tonight at the Blaine high school stadium. The meet begins at 4 p.m.
rip Sultan before dropping two to South Whidbey
The Borderites made quick work of the Turks last week behind Joey Paciorek's hitting (1-3 and a RBI double) and pitching. Paciorek allowed one run and scattered three hits in six innings in his first start.
Blaine opened up the game in the first inning by scoring six of their seven runs with four doubles. In addition to Paciorek's double, Sophomore Ryan Henley also got one in going 3 for 3 and got an RBI. Senior Sean McLaughlin also got a double in going 2-4 and got three RBIs.
In a home-and-home series, Blaine fell by one 3-2 at South Whidbey when the Falcons took advantage of an error followed by a wild pitch and scored to break a 2-2 tie. Joey Paciorek and Craig Rothwell both went 1-3 with one RBI each.
The Falcons came north to play at the Pipe last Tuesday and once again played errorless ball against the Borderites. The second game was tighter than the first, going into an extra two innings before being decided in the ninth. The Borderites had a chance to win it in the seventh inning, twice loading the bases, but scored only once to send the game into extra frames.
The game had its moments, such as Paciorek's throwing out a runner trying to score from second base, but in the end the Borderites seemed to beat themselves. "We just have to get smarter on the bases," said coach Gary Clausen, "and though we made some great plays we also botched some easy ones. In the end, we didn't clutch up and get the key hit we needed in the seventh."
Blaine now goes to 6-10 over all and 5-6 in league play. Their next-to-last home game is this afternoon against Lakewood at the Pipe, game time is 4:30 p.m.
A regatta weekend
The 50-year-old Semiahmoo Bay Regatta, sponsored by the International Yacht Club of Blaine and White Rock, takes place this weekend in Semiahmoo Bay. Saturday's contest for the TD Canada Trust Cup is a long distance race that begins at 10 a.m. Sunday's two races for the Bill Vandenborn Trophy keep all of the 70 or more sailboats inside the bay racing around buoys, where the action can be fast and furious. Racing can best be watched from Semiahmoo County Park.
The first race on Sunday begins at 10 a.m. After the final race the Port of Bellingham and the International Yacht Club will host a free barbecue in the Blaine Harbor Center beginning at 3 p.m. Free overnight moorage for participants during the race is available in Blaine at the visitor's dock. To arrange this contact the harbormaster at 647-6176. For more information go to the International Yacht Club's web site at www.interyachtclub.com.

Kentucky forward Kyle Wiltjer is transferring to find a "significant" role elsewhere.
The 6-foot-10 Wiltjer played with the Canadian national team this summer, posted a letter on Kentucky's athletic department website Monday afternoon, saying he will seek a situation to help him "compete the way I know I can. ... wherever that may be."
He had announced in April he would return to Kentucky for his junior season. Wiltjer said Monday he has some "new and adjusted goals."
Wildcats coach John Calipari expressed disappointment over Wiltjer's decision but wished him luck on his website.
The Oregon native, whose father is a Canadian, was named the Southeastern Conference's top reserve after averaging 10.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game.
Kentucky has eight incoming freshmen, including six McDonald's All-Americans.

Experience databases
CELS jobs and internships software system for students and alumni
This database is for Connecticut College students and alumni only.
The Experience database, utilized by many career offices, contains jobs and internships posted by the CELS Office; jobs and internships posted by organizations given permission by CELS to post on our site; and jobs and internships that organizations post directly through Experience. The Experience system also is used to apply for and sign up for interviews through the CELS Campus Interview Program.
- To register with the Experience system, go to http://conncoll.experience.com/er/security/login.jsp.
- Click on "Create an Account" at the bottom left.
- In order to register for Experience, you must obtain a password token from the CELS Office by emailing Beth Bremner, CELS Program Coordinator.
- Under "Register for an Account," fill in all of the data fields and click "Register." Keep in mind that for each CELS resource that uses this Experience system (CELS Office Jobs/Internships Database, Capital Consortium, New York Recruiting Consortium and LARC), you will need a unique username (no duplicates allowed).
- Under "Please complete your profile" the system will ask you to fill out some required profile fields (red dot next to the required fields). Then click "Next." It is very important to have your email and phone numbers correct.
- Next section is "Your Experience Preferences. " Decide if you want emails and newsletters about other Experience programs and services. It is advisable to indicate you would like to have access to job postings received by Experience (they get a lot). Then fill in the required fields in the Personalization section. If you choose not to answer any of these questions, there is an "I'd rather not say" option. Click "Next."
- This brings you to a Welcome page. Now you will be able to apply for positions through the Experience system. In order to do so, you will need to upload your resume and cover letter(s). Some organizations will require other items as well (e.g. writing sample, unofficial transcript, etc.) You can upload these items as well. If you are ready to upload your resume and other materials, click "Go" beside "Upload a Resume. " If you are not ready to upload, click on the "Home" link at the top of the page. From now on, you will come directly to this page when you log in using the username and password you created. See Uploading Your Materials below when you are ready to upload materials.
- You may search for jobs and internships under "One-Click Searches:" Newest Jobs, Jobs with Upcoming Application Deadlines, Jobs Posted by the CELS Office, Alumni Sponsored Internships and Funded Internships; and under "More Searches" (upper right): Jobs Posted by the CELS Office and Internships Posted by the CELS Office. In these sections, under "Job," select the job title. Read through the job and organization descriptions, which also will contain the contact information to address your cover letter. Scroll to the bottom of the page and, under "How to Apply," see what application materials are required to apply for the position (some employers also require unofficial transcripts or writing samples). Once you have all of the required materials uploaded into the system (see below), click "Apply. " Pick the correct resume, cover letter and other materials needed by highlighting the name of each material. Finally, click "Submit. "
Uploading Your Materials
- Go to "Documents" in the gray box across the top and click on "Upload a Document."
- Select the type of document you wish to upload, and click on "Next."
- Click on "Browse, " find your document, click "Open," and then click on "Upload."
- When your status says ready, your document is uploaded.
- Follow these instructions to upload your resume, cover letter, transcript, and writing sample. You can have more than one resume and all of your cover letters in the system at the same time. Transcripts should be uploaded under "Other" (you can copy and paste from your online transcript to a Word document: condense it and make it look nice).
- IMPORTANT: By uploading, you HAVE NOT applied to any jobs! (See #8 above to actually apply.)
Jobs and Internships Posted by Experience
Beyond the jobs that have been entered by CELS (see One-Click Searches and More Searches), you may also search jobs and internships posted by Experience (provided you have indicated a desire to see Experience jobs when you set up your profile). In these situations, employers have selected Connecticut College as one of the schools to which their jobs or internships would be posted. To do this, go to "Jobs & Internships" IN THE GRAY BAR AT THE TOP OF THE PAGE. You may then select criteria for your search.

Bluestacks App Player Brings Android to Any Window's Computer And Syncs To Your Android Phone!
Not Your Average Virtual Android!
BlueStacks will change the way you look at Android. Its not just for phones anymore!
Have you ever played an Android game or used a super sweet app and wished that you could run it on your laptop or desktop pc?
I have for sure, especially with apps like Pulse News and my favorite tower defense games.
Now you can, and NO! I'm not kidding!
What The Hay Is BlueStacks Anyway?
Well, let's see – first I should mention that they just won a very pretigious award in the tech industry:
"CES Best Software 2012 Award Winner – Best App Ever Award 2012″
Although they have been around a while, BlueStacks just opened its Beta doors a few days ago having been in hibernation for a while after their Alpha launch.
Many things have changed since the Alpha, and it is really exciting!
I was a fan of the Alpha and was sad to see it pulled for a while while the crew worked on the Beta.
I could not be more pleased with how much effort the crew put into making it even more user friendly
Trying it Out!
If you own a Window's anything (laptop or desktop), you MUST try out BlueStacks App Player.
It is not slow and jerky like phone emulators or like Amazon's virtual playground for some apps in its appstore.
Of course, not every app will work with BlueStacks, but SO MANY of them do. It is worth playing with.
Your Phone Will Sync All The Favs!
Another great perk is that you can link your phone to the app player on your laptop or desktop with their Cloud Connect app.
This app installs on your Android phone and allows you to pick and choose which apps from your phone you want synced to your desktop.
You will have access to the Amazon AppStore and GetJar and a few other appstores right out of the gate.
Get in on this while it is still free (until the Beta period ends)!

"While the sample makes this look like a label, I edited so there is a "to: " line and a from line (e.g. From: Matthew and Andrew). I love these as birthday present gift tags."
"I purchased these labels for packaging to use for my business. I loved the design so much I have since purchased the rest of the matching items to go along with my stickers. Beautiful work from Petite Alma!!"
"It was fun to put my both kids names on this sticker, but I still need to make one of this stickers with only one child name on it it, when they are not going together to B-days"
"We are using these stickers to put on blue take out boxes for the candy buffet at my daughter's Baby Shower. Our stickers read "sweet treats". They match the invitations we ordered from you. I'm very happy with the quality of all of the items we ordered. Thank you!"
"I ordered these with my daughter's name for school, etc. They are vibrant and fun and she loves them! I appreciate how easy the ordering process was and the quality of the stickers."

The Name of the Doctor Reaction
We're finally there – the roundup to reaction and reviews for the finale of Doctor Who Series 7, The Name of the Doctor.
We'll start with the overnight audience figures, which show that 5.46 million people (we will be taking a look at the figures for the entire run soon) tuned in on the night to avoid being spoilered when the Internet erupted soon after (an eruption that resulted in Kasterborous' best ever views total and contributed to a massive month for us!). Remember that overnight figures are largely meaningless to us, but give naysayers and the gutter press something to poke Doctor Who with. Knowledge is power, etc.
Our Name of the Doctor poll launched immediately after broadcast. With an immense response of 836 votes, 79.07% (661 votes) regarded the finale as "Fantastic!", 14.59% (122 votes) as "Not bad" and 6.34% (53 votes) as "Meh." Hitting the 80% area figure often seems to indicate a popular episode, as we shall see in our Series 7 reaction round up next week.
So, to the reviews! As with Nightmare in Silver we're going to stick to the YouTube reviews – reaction from real people and not the self-interested metropolitan elite.
First, here's Paul Verhoeven:
Next, RichandSpace (plus awesome sideburns):
To finish, as we were so impressed with her Nightmare in Silver review, here's Lippmannette again!
The Kasterborous podKast with a K naturally spent some time on The Name of the Doctor, with myself and James McLean chatting about the episode and its implications for nearly an hour.
As to our own review – well, you'll be here tomorrow, right?
3 Responses to The Name of the Doctor Reaction
Looking at some of the reviews (not these, but other ones found through Google) it was amusing to see the "uninitiated" talking about how they expected to learn the Doctor's name, not realizing that it's the First Commandment of Doctor Who that we are not to ever learn it. The title, of course, refers to something else entirely. All Moffat promised was that we were going to learn the Doctor's greatest secret – and I think the revelation at the end qualifies. The question "Doctor who?" doesn't necessarily refer to a name. Brilliant episode all-around.
Best episode since xmas 2012, moffat was back on form and I hope his dr who 50th is even better. The story was well paced and full of good line's,the ending was spot on and left me wanting more who. The name of the doctor is just what the programme needed well done mr moffat.

Great valve By Daniel on 3/26/2014Daniel would recommend this product to a friendThere are tons of valves available, but the bottom line is if you can afford this one then buy it!!! If a piece of mind is what you are looking for this is the valve for you.
Have to keep it clean in order for it to work. By LT on 2/25/2014LT wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI've had this about a year. Have to keep it clean in order for it to work. the piston valve gets stuck in the open position about 4 months after a cleaning.
Built solid By Jason R on 2/13/2014Jason R would recommend this product to a friendI thought it was overpriced when ordering but was impressed to see how solid and well built it was. Works well and easy to maintain. Well worth the money for the peace of mind.
Failed to Perfom By Christopher on 2/3/2014Christopher wouldn't recommend this product to a friendThis check valve failed to perform during a power outage. I use it to stop the water from back-flowing from my display tank into my sump. The power went out one night and the check valve failed to close (this was within two weeks of purchase so it was still new/clean). This worked when I turned the power off to the pump, but failed in a real world power outage. I wish I could get my 50 dollars back, this was a complete waste of money and could have been a disaster if my sump wasn't big enough to contain all the back-flow.
Great product By Xclusive252 on 12/31/2013Xclusive252 would recommend this product to a friendThe check valve is working as intended and feels like it was made strong and to last. I highly recommend to anyone with an in sump skimmer or anyone with a small sump. Enjoy!!
Excellent By Corey on 12/28/2013Corey would recommend this product to a friendI was skeptical when setting up my first sump but after buying this, I don't worry about my sump overflowing. Very heavy duty build. Haven't had an issue with it. It's a bit pricey but the peace of mind it provides makes it worth every penny.
Expensive By John on 12/28/2013John would recommend this product to a friendIts great how you can take these completely apart and clean them. I guess you get what you pay for.
do not buy By aqua mops on 12/19/2013aqua mops wouldn't recommend this product to a friendfailed 30% of the time from day one.
Its Worth the money By Oscar on 11/24/2013Oscar would recommend this product to a friendAfter purchasing this item i felt that i spent too much money on a check valve. When i received it and installing it I was more then pleased with my purchase. I could easily clean it unlike my old flapper check valves i have on my older tanks. I will soon purchase more to replace the older ones.
Very Nice By MICHAELO on 9/30/2013MICHAELO would recommend this product to a friendThis is a well built back flow check valve. A little pricey, but considering what it will help you not have (i.e flood) it pays for itself. If you want a guaranteed check valve that you can physically take out ,clean and inspect. This ones for you!

Citigroup gets a sweet deal
The United Arab Emirates will soon buy Citigroup shares -- for $31.83 each
That's gotta hurt. The lesson here? Don't ink any deals right before the financial world falls off a cliff.
The UAE thought it was getting a great score in November 2007, according to The Wall Street Journal. Citigroup was in serious money trouble, and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (the UAE's sovereign fund) came to the rescue with a $7.5 billion check.
In return, Abu Dhabi agreed to receive an 11% annual dividend for about two years. After that, it would get its investment back in the form of Citigroup stock.
The fatal mistake here was that Abu Dhabi agreed to a stock price of $31.83. That was close to Citigroup's stock price back then, and Abu Dhabi likely figured that shares would grow in value. If that happened, $31.83 looked like a great deal.
"This investment reflects our confidence in Citi's potential to build shareholder value," Abu Dhabi's managing director said at the time, according to the Journal.
So, unless Citigroup shares make a remarkable turnaround, the bank stands to sell its stock to Abu Dhabi at seven times the market price, the Journal reports.

WAUKESHA, WI (WTAQ) - Waukesha is reducing its estimate of how much drinking water it will need from Lake Michigan by 2050.
City water utility manager Dan Duchniak told officials from eight Great Lakes states Monday that current conservation efforts are helping reduce Waukesha's need by just over 7 percent.
Waukesha is under a court order to remove excess radium from its drinking water by mid-2018. The city's wells have been running dry -- and Waukesha has tried for several years to get permission to use Great Lakes drinking water.
The city is just outside Lake Michigan's natural basin, so it will need approval from all eight Great Lakes states.
Duchniak spoke to representatives of those states today as four days of regional meetings about the Great Lakes began in Milwaukee.
The DNR was hoping to review Waukesha's application in July, but city leaders are still working on it.
Duchniak said Monday that the city would discharge its treated wastewater to the Root River, instead of an original plan to use Underwood Creek

UNDATED (WHTC) - Michael Brantley's two-run homer off of Al Alburquerque in the eighth inning snapped a 6-6 tie, and Cleveland outlasted the visiting Tigers on Sunday, 9-6. Detroit rallied from a 6-1 deficit to tie the game in the top of that frame. The series at Progressive Field concludes on Monday evening. Coverage on 1450 WHTC begins at 6:40 PM.
Dioner Navarro's sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 11th inning plated the winning run, as the Cubs beat visiting Pittsburgh on Sunday, 4-3. Meanwhile, David Price scattered eight hits and struck out five in a complete-game performance, as Tampa Bay on Sunday completed a three-game weekend sweep of the visiting White Sox with a 3-1 victory. The two Chicago teams play a make-up game of one rained out earlier this season when they meet at US Cellular Field on Monday evening.
Seven of Lake County's eight runs on Sunday came as a result of four Whitecaps errors, as the Captains downed visiting West Michigan on Sunday, 8-4. The rubber game of the series at Classic Park in Eastlake, Ohio, outside of Cleveland, is on Monday evening.

The suspect in the deadly hit and run accident that killed a wheelchair bound man was turned in by his wife on Wednesday.
"It's incredibly disappointing that somebody would do that and leave a cripple man knocked out of a wheelchair to die in the street," said Somerset Police Chief Joseph Ferreira.
Six days after a hit and run accident took the life of 65–year–old James Moore, the man who police say left him to die, 35-year-old Richard Reis, is arraigned on felony charges.
Flowers grow at the spot Moore was hit last Friday night.
He traveled the street often in his motorized wheelchair and was just a quarter mile from his home when he was hit.
"He was very happy outgoing person always friendly that's how I met him around the complex," said Bill DeMarco a friend of the victim.
"When Moore was hit a piece of the car's front bumper came off and was left at the scene that piece of the car was critical in the investigation," said Ferreira. "That little piece of the grill had identifying numbers on it, we knew 100 percent that that part came from a 1998 or 99 Toyota."
That evidence narrowed down the search, but it's not what led police to Reis' front door.
His wife, responded to a reverse 911 call, thinking she was saving police some time. Reis had told his wife the car was hit while parked in their driveway.
"She called us innocently saying that by the way are you guys coming to look at the car because if you are you're going to see damage to it but it's not caused by that incident in Somerset it was caused by a hit and run."
The arrest brings some closure to Moore's family, but the investigation isn't over.
Police are looking into whether Reis was distracted or driving drunk.
However it happened, one thing is for sure, Moore won't be forgotten.
A picture of him throwing the first pitch at a Red Sox game decades ago hangs in the complex where he lived.
A reminder of the man who didn't let his condition stop him from living life.

DENVER, CO (WTAQ) - The first of three debates between President Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney happens tonight in Denver, Colorado.
The event starts at 8 p.m., Central time and runs for 90 minutes. You can hear the debate live on 97.5/1360 News Talk WTAQ.
Campaigning in North Carolina Tuesday, Vice President Joe Biden called the upcoming election the "starkest choice" in memory. Biden accused Republicans of favoring more tax breaks for the wealthy at the expense of the struggling middle class.
Campaigning in Iowa, Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan called Romney a jobs creator who will fix the nation's jobs crisis. The Wisconsin Congressman insisted that the U.S. cannot afford four more years like the past four years.
Congressman Ryan debates Vice President Biden next week in Danville, Kentucky.
Tonight's presidential debate will be moderated by Jim Lehrer, host of the PBS News Hour.
The first presidential debate will mostly be covering domestic policies, with a heavy focus on the economy. Other topics that will be discussed by the presidential candidates will be healthcare and the role of government in American life.
It will be the first chance voters will get to see Mitt Romney and President Obama unfiltered with no media interference.
Political watchers expect Romney will have the higher burden of proving himself to the American people as he is the unknown candidate. However, Obama will have to explain why things aren't going better around the country.

Overview | Curriculum | Experiential Learning | Research | Post-Graduation
Application due 3/15.
The Occupational Ergonomics and Health program incorporates Northeastern University's unique experiential learning approaches by immersing students in real work scenarios and case studies. Based in public health approaches applied to the community of work places, students will complete projects both individually and in teams to develop skills to administer comprehensive and integrated programs for the workplace. This is the only degree program that combines ergonomics and health wellness programs.
The 21st century workplace demands an interprofessional approach to reach across organizational boundaries to ensure health and safety values in the workplace are uniform and consistent to most effectively impact worker health. Bouvé College of Health Sciences' unique interprofessional approach to health care will ensure students develop skills to meet this need.
Our Graduate Program requires 32 semester hours of coursework and a 4 semester hour capstone project. The program can be completed within 12 months for full-time students and within 36 months for part time students.
View a sample Program of Study.
Experiential Learning
Students will have the opportunity to leverage Northeastern University's unique cooperative experiential learning program as well as to engage in a capstone project related to one of many funded research projects within the department and across the college and university.
Faculty within the Department of Physical Therapy, Movement and Rehabilitation Sciences engage in novel interventions, both clinically and through research endeavors to promote worker wellness. These activities include: health screening programs, wellness interventions and analysis of data related to worker health outcomes.
Graduates of the program are expected to fufill positions in organizations seeking to promote worker health through integrated approaches of ergonomics and wellness. With the changing nature of work and health care, organizations are building and expanding their primary prevention efforts for workers in the workplace. Such organiztions need leaders to meet these challenges creating a culture of health and safety for their employees.

Recycling electronics, such as cell phones, televisions, and computers (along with rechargeable batteries found in many of these items), keeps potentially harmful materials out of the waste stream and the environment.
However, with the exception of rechargeable batteries, it is still legal for NYC residents to discard electronics in the trash until the year 2015.
Effective 2015, certain electronic equipment (such as computers and televisions) will be banned from disposal, everything else can be legally discarded as trash.
NYC residents can recycle working & non-working COMPUTERS, TVs, and RELATED DEVICES through legally-mandated programs funded by electronics manufacturers (at no cost to residents and no purchase required). Specific examples of these types of take back programs include drop-off at Goodwill, Salvation Army, Best Buy, Staples (no TVs), and other locations.
NYC apartment buildings can sign up for e-cycleNYC, a new innovative program that will provide buildings with a free and convenient service to pick up and recycle unwanted electronics.
To manage your electronics legally and responsibly, take advantage of take-back, reuse, and recycling programs. Below you will find information specific to certain products (covered by law or commonly recycled) and across certain sectors (different requirements for residents, governments, and businesses). Products that are not specifically addressed below may still have reuse or recycling options.

You may have heard of something called a Let's Play video. These are videos on the Internet (typically YouTube) where someone plays through a game from start to finish, often providing commentary along the way.
I quite enjoy watching these videos. When done well, they can provide some nice added value to the game, and provide an opportunity to catch up on classic games that you never had the chance to play.
For quite some time now, I have harboured the plan to make a Let's Play of my own. Now, I have finally done so. The game I have chosen to play is Riven: The Sequel to Myst. This is my favourite game of the Myst series, and perhaps my favourite game of all time. Its level of depth and immersion is unparalleled by anything else I've seen, and because I know a great deal about the world of the Myst games it presented an ideal target for a Let's Play.
The first video of the series is embedded below:
Today, I have finally uploaded the final video of the 32-part series. The whole thing was recorded in a single weekend, and uploaded one by one over the period of two weeks.
All of the videos are available in this playlist.
Windows 7 is about to hit RTM, and many of you might want to verify that the ISO image you downloaded hasn't been tampered with or was damaged as the result of some error in the download process. Of course you can use existing checksum tools and compare the result to published values, but it can be a bit of a hassle.
At the request of Long Zheng I created a small application that makes this process easier. Simply drag and drop your ISO file onto the application (or start the application and browse to the ISO file) and it will verify the EXE and tell you which build you have from a list of known builds. It downloads this list from the web automatically, so you don't need to re-download the application after Windows 7 RTM is released.
The Windows 7 ISO Verifier can be downloaded from Long's website.
A priority queue is a queue data structure where the element with the lowest (or highest) value is always at the front. A common analogy is to think of a queue of people ordered by some criteria such as age or height. Many programming languages include a priority queue in their standard library, including C++ and Java. However, the Microsoft .Net Framework does not include a priority queue, which is why I provide one here.
You might wonder why you can't just use a sorted list to get the same effect as a priority queue. And the answer is, you can. A sorted list is a perfectly valid way to implement a priority queue. However, with a priority queue we are only interest in the smallest element at any time, and not any of the other elements, which means it is not necessary to maintain a total order of all the elements. Because of this, we can use an implementation that maintains only a partial order, which can provide better performance.
The most common such implementation is one that uses a binary heap. A binary heap is a binary tree with the property that any element in the tree is always smaller than both of its children. This guarantees that the smallest element is always on top, although the binary heap does not maintain a total order like a binary search tree. Efficient operations exist to maintain this heap property when inserting and deleting elements, making the binary heap perform better for priority queues than a sorted list. My PriorityQueue class for .Net uses a binary heap implementation.
PriorityQueue<T> generic class that I provide here is written to conform to the conventions used by .Net's built-in collection classes in the System.Collections.Generic namespace, particularly the
Queue<T> class. The
PriorityQueue<T> class implements
IEnumerable<T> and
The three main operations provided are
Enqueue, which adds an item to the queue;
Dequeue, which removes and returns the first element of the queue; and
Peek, which returns the first element without removing it. In this implementation, these operations are O(log n), O(log n) and O(1) respectively. A special operation,
AdjustFirstItem, allows you to change the value of the first item and re-evaluate its position in the queue, in less time than it would've taken to remove the element and add a new one (note that this is only possible with reference types that are not immutable).
PriorityQueue<T> class provides several constructors, including one that allows you to create a priority queue from an existing list of elements with O(n) time complexity, faster than individually adding each element to the list with
You can put any type of element in the priority queue as long as it implements
IComparable<T>, or you provide a custom
IComparer<T> for the type. Note that the
PriorityQueue<T> class will always put the smallest element at the front. If you want to have the largest element at the front, you can use the included
InvertedComparer<T> class.
A short example of how to use the
PriorityQueue<T> class is provided below.
PriorityQueue<int> queue = new PriorityQueue<int>(new[] { 4, 7, 3, 9, 12 }); // create a priority queue with the specified elements. int n = queue.Dequeue(); // returns and removes 3; the front element is now 4. queue.Enqueue(5); // the front element is still 4. queue.Enqueue(2); // the front element is now 2. n = queue.Peek(); // returns 2, but does not remove it.
Download the
PriorityQueue<T> class for .Net (class library, sample application, and source code provided).
I have made available a new download: Ookii.Dialogs.
Ookii.Dialogs is a class library that provides a number of common dialogs for use in .Net applications. The dialogs provided are the task dialog, progress dialog, credential dialog, input dialog and Vista-style common file dialogs.
The download contains two class libraries, one for Windows Forms and one for Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). The contents are nearly identical; only the input dialog is not available for WPF. Some utility classes are provided for Windows Forms; these are not available for WPF either.
Most of these dialogs are wrappers around Windows API functionality. The TaskDialog class wraps the task dialog API provided in Windows Vista and later. The ProgressDialog class wraps the IProgressDialog API available since Windows 2000. The CredentialDialog class wraps the CredUI API introduced in Windows XP, and the VistaOpenFileDialog, VistaSaveFileDialog and VistaFolderBrowserDialog classes wrap the IFileDialog API introduced in Windows Vista. Only the InputDialog is not a wrapper; this is a custom dialog that performs the same functionality as the old Visual Basic InputBox function. Visit the link above for more details on each dialog.
Each class has been designed to be not merely a wrapper around their respective native API, but to provide a programming interface that is natural to .Net developers, with full support for the component designer. The complete source code of the class libraries, as well as documentation and a sample application are provided.
The classes aim to give the best experience possible on each OS, where applicable. In the case of the CredentialDialog class, this means that the new Vista-style dialog is automatically used on operating systems that support it (Vista and newer). The Vista-style file dialog classes will automatically fall back to the old style dialogs when using Windows XP. This is also true of the VistaFolderBrowserDialog class for WPF, even though WPF itself doesn't provide a folder browser dialog; the VistaFolderBrowserDialog class is a full folder browser dialog implementation for WPF supporting XP and newer.
This library replaces the Ookii.VistaDialogs library, which contained only the Vista-style file dialogs and didn't offer any support for WPF.
This library is a collection of classes that I have developed for personal use over the years. Because of the difference in age of some of the code, and the many modifications made over time, there may be some inconsistencies.
Let me know what you think of it, if you use it.
There are many ways to randomize a list; perhaps the most common is to simply iterate over the list and swap each element with a random other element. Some libraries even include built-in methods for randomizing a list, but .Net isn't one of those.
The introduction of LINQ in .Net 3.5 provides an easy way to manipulate lists and collections in all sorts of ways. So naturally one question that may come up is, can we use it to randomize a list? The answer is yes, you can. There's probably more than one way to do it, but here's one I like myself.
Random rnd = new Random(); var randomizedList = from item in list orderby rnd.Next() select item;
The orderby clause will use the specified expression to compare elements to determine their order. Here, it is using random values to do that comparison, so the end result is a randomized list.
Of course we can easily create an extension method to make things even easier (here I use an alternative syntax to use orderby, just to demonstrate how to do it with that):
public static IEnumerable<T> Randomize<T>(this IEnumerable<T> source) { Random rnd = new Random(); return source.OrderBy<T, int>((item) => rnd.Next()); }

WOW! Is it spring yet or what?! The sunshine will stick around for Presidents' Day but then it's out of here! Another storm system sets up shop over the region late Monday night into Tuesday. We could see a couple of inches of snow with this one.
Look for foggy skies overnight with chilly temperatures. Some spots will drop to the teens, while most locations will bottom out in the lower 20s. Daytime highs will skyrocket to the 40s once again, ahead of this next storm.
A stronger storm will drop by Friday, giving the region better chances of seeing significant snowfall.
So, keep your sunglass, umbrella and snowboots handy. Classic Inland Northwest weather! -DG

- > Classic Crêpes Suzette
Crêpes Suzette were created by the famous French chef, Escoffier, at the beginning of the 20th century. Since then, the classic recipe has been reinterpreted by numerous chefs.
30 min
Crêpe batter:
(makes 15 crêpes 8 inches in diameter)
- 1 cup milk
- 1 Tbsp. lager
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup flour
- 2 Tbsp. butter
- 1 Tbsp. sugar
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 Tbsp. Grand Marnier® Cordon Rouge liqueur
Suzette butter:
- 1 cup butter
- ½ cup sugar
- Zest of ½ orange, finely grated
- Zest of ½ lemon, finely grated
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1½ oz lemon juice
- 2 Tbsp. Grand Marnier® Cordon Rouge liqueur
- Combine the salt and sugar with the flour.
Add the eggs one at a time. Gradually stir in the beer followed by the milk.
Pour in the melted butter followed by the liqueur.
If possible, let stand overnight in the refrigerator.
Allow the butter to soften.
Warm together the sugar, lemon and orange juice as well as the zests which have macerated for 15 minutes in the liqueur.
Gradually add this mixture to the butter then beat with a mixer for 3 minutes.
Warm the crêpes then coat them with the Suzette butter using a pastry brush.
Serve immediately.
Chef's tip
If the Suzette butter mixture separates, it is because it is too cold. Heat gently while stirring and the ingredients will come together again. Serve with a glass of Grand Marnier® Cuvée du Centenaire liqueur.

Teens, do you feel that the more your parents yell at you, the less good it does?
You may be right.
After monitoring nearly 1,000 families over two years, a psychology professor at the University of Pittsburgh concluded that repeatedly yelling at your kids tends to make things worse – including their behavior.
Teenagers who are subjected to screaming are apt to respond with anger that can take the form of aggression or misconduct, said Ming-Te Wang, an assistant professor who oversaw the study, in an article published in the professional journal Child Development.
The more that a parent dials up the vitriol – adding swearing, insults or name-calling – the more likely it is to backfire, Wang said.
And apologizing later with a hug might not be enough to undo the damage. Parental "warmth did not moderate the associations between mothers' and fathers' use of harsh verbal discipline and adolescent conduct problems," the article says.
What are you supposed to do instead of yelling?
Try dealing with the kids with respect, and focus on educating them rather than humiliating them, the article recommends.

Not long after Paul Rhoads finally thawed out from the coldest game in the history of Iowa State's home stadium, the Cyclones' coach recalled a night at West Virginia in 2005 that was even more bone chilling.
Rhoads was Pittsburgh's defensive coordinator when the Panthers played in the Backyard Brawl in blustery snow and single-digit readings. He says the wind made that game feel colder than last week's home finale against Kansas.
Still, Rhoads says the frigid Kansas win has mentally prepared Iowa State (2-9, 1-7 Big 12) for its first visit to West Virginia (4-7, 2-6) on Saturday. Temperatures for the late afternoon kickoff in Morgantown are expected to be balmy by comparison in the 30s.
The game marks the regular-season finale for both teams.

The Hitman franchise has been been around since 2000 when Hitman: Codename 47 was released on PC and has since spawned several installments, Absolution being the fifth in the series. At the time there was really no game like it and it impressed with its stealthy gameplay, crisp graphics and innovative mission design. Other games like Metal Gear Solid had a strong emphasis on stealth but never before had we been able to step into the role of an elite assassin in this way. Each level was set in an open environment and it was up to the player to make use of available intel and formulate an effective strategy in order to successfully take out the designated target. Being able to choose whether you sneak around, make use of disguises and take out your target in silence or simply going in guns blazing was a mind-blowing concept back then, and has remained a staple in the franchise ever since.

Hitman vs. Assassin's Creed FeaturedWritten by Ingólfur Ólafsson
There are plenty of games around these days that have you stepping into the shoes of a trained killer and task you with eliminating a valuable target. With the release of Assassin's Creed 3 upon us, and Hitman: Absolution coming out next month, we take a look at these two franchises and see which one comes out on top in simulating the assassin experience.
Assassin's Creed hasn't been around as long, but already has five installments in the main series and several minor games across several different platforms. The series is known for its open world setting and mix of stealth, swordplay, and free-running mechanics. Scaling buildings to infiltrate enemy strongholds and stalking your prey from the rooftops of historic cities made for a new and unique open world gameplay experience.
Both franchises give the player a lot of choice in how to go about your assassinations. In Assassin's Creed you typically get a bunch of different short missions, like eavesdropping and pick pocketing, that reward you with information regarding the whereabouts and movements of your target, weak points in guard patrol routes and so on. Hitman games will usually start you off with a briefing that gives you general intel on the mission as well as background info on the target and such, but once the level is underway however, it's up to the player how much additional recon is gathered before attempting the hit. The result is that even though Hitman is a lot more structured in the sense that it is divided into specific levels, the actual assassin gameplay is a lot more organic. Where Assassin's Creed gives you waypoints to missions that will reveal certain information, Hitman leaves it up to the player to explore each map and observe enemy patrols, or overhear valuable information in NPC dialogue.
You can't call yourself a hitman or assassin without being proficient in the art of stealth. Being well aware with the layout of the environment and sneaking around in silence are valuable tools to any merchant of silent death. And so of course both these franchises offer various stealthy options for the player to make use of when moving in for a kill. To remain undetected you'll need to dispatch enemies without making too much of a ruckus. Both Hitman and Assassin's Creed offer several fun ways to achieve silent murder without breaking stealth. Agent 47 usually keeps his piano wire handy for asphyxiating bad guys, and the iconic hidden-blade gets the job done in Assassin's Creed. Usually though it is better to avoid unnecessary killing. Assassin's Creed is very focused on its free-running mechanic, and moving around undetected means that you'll be climbing around, above or beneath enemies in combination with the "blend" mechanic that lets you hide in plain sight by blending in with crowds. Hitman however is a bit more varied and interesting when it comes to the stealth. Agent 47 isn't quite as acrobatic and can't climb up 30-foot walls and make leaps of faith. Stealth in the Hitman series requires a lot more thought and patience. The fact that you can utilize disguises freely adds a whole different dimension to hiding in plain sight. It's not as simple as holding a button to blend in with a group of similarly dressed people, for a disguise to work it needs to fit naturally with the environment and the player must "behave" in an incognito manner. Stealth, while harder to pull off successfully in Hitman, is a much more rewarding gameplay experience.
What about the actual assassinations? Well once again the Hitman series is superior when it comes this. In Assassin's Creed you do get some options as to how you approach your target, but each assassination mission usually ends with you stabbing the target with the hidden-blade and then you've got to run like hell and evade enemy guards. Hitman on the other hand usually has many different ways to make the actual hit. For example if the target is in a restaurant you could infiltrate the kitchen and poison his food. Or maybe you sit tight and wait until he goes to the bathroom where you slit his throat. Or perhaps you wire his car with a bomb and blow him to kingdom come once he leaves. Your options of course vary between levels, but you always get that sense of choice.
It's fairly safe to say that as far as assassian simulation goes, the Hitman series takes the prize. Assassin's Creed games are of course about so much more than simply eliminating specific targets, with vast open cities to explore and plenty of side quests and collectibles and such. But for a game series with "Assassin" in its title I definitively feel that I'm left wanting in the assassination department.
