I have been working at Buena Vista University part-time (more than 3 years)
ProsEveryone is so nice and we all work together well. Also, a lot of alumni work there, which it's nice to see them coming back. I am only a student, but if I wanted to find a job in Western Iowa I would definitely go to BVU as a first choice. It's so diverse and I really cannot get over how friendly everyone is.
ConsA lot of alumni work there. There are quite a few people who did not get their undergraduate from BVU though and everyone still gets along. I have little complaints.

"I was being critical of the officiating," Billick said. "It had nothing to do with Eric Mangini. I was more upset that they were doing it better than we were. We all do it. The official usually gets on it right away and stops it. That's all I was saying." So here is Billick admitting that everyone does illegal things and some better than others. He is only upset because the jets got away with it longer that they did. So why isn't Goodel coming down on them like they did the Pats? I mean breaking the rules is breaking the rules right? Here is the article http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...jets.billickaccu.ap/index.html?eref=fannation
It's an in-game violation covered by the rules of the game, the only possible penalty is an in-game one. This is like a coach saying "Yeah, I teach my defensive backs to interfere with the receiver." They're not going to take draft picks for that, only throw the flag if they catch them doing it,
He already made his point.............. :bricks: the retraction is a footnote. This was done simply to tweak Mangina's nose.
Anyone else wonder if this was instigated by the NFL front office,, Can't have every coach in the league calling out the other?????
Nope, I think Billick chose his words carefully in both the original statement and the apology. Most news people are too stupid to see what he was doing though. Do you really think this is the first time he's come across this? Listen to the words he used to charge the Jets. That's why EM called him immediately. Also, check out the words Billeck uses in the apology and imagine EM as Billick and BB as EM. In other words, all the "he doesn't deserve this" talk is another statement IMHO. I think Billick was sending a clear message that was meant to be clear to his targets.
I think you're missing the point. He was sending a message. No one was saying they are the same thing.... I each person sees what they want to see in it. lol

Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) just won "Best Data Center Innovation" award at BladeSystems Insight 2009 event. Details will be available here soon.BladeSystems Insight is an executive summit for data center blade server technologies, took place April 19-21, 2009 in Las Vegas before an audience of over 150 hosted end-user executives, vendor sponsors, key industry analysts such as Forrester & IDC, association leaders etc. This award was based on voting from attending IT executives near the end of the event when attendees have had the opportunity to experience and evaluate the full range of companies, products and presentations.
Cisco Unified Computing System: Best Data Center Innovation Award
Unified Computing System: Ferrari Borrowed Our Codename
As mentioned on the IPTV broadcast yesterday, the preliminary benchmarking for out new blade servers for our Unified Computing System is pretty darn good–something along the lines of 164% faster than previous-gen Intel-based two-socket systems. I think this not only makes a clear case for the upgrading to Intel Xeon 5500 Series processor but, the same way you would not put a Ferrari engine in a Cavalier, you also want to upgrade to a system that is designed to take advantage of that kind of performance, not just retro-fitted to deal with it. Here is a rundown of our preliminary results for some key industry benchmarks that cover a variety of workloads:
Wishful Thinking: The CEE Edition
So, before we dig into CEE (Convergence Enhanced Ethernet), I have a quick quiz for you: take a look at the two pictures below and make note of the differences:
Ready? OK, back to the topic at hand….So, one of our competitors marked their entry into the realm of Ethernet switching with an FCoE capable switch. I honestly thought was kinda cool, since their actions continue to validate a vision, Data Center 3.0, we laid out almost two years ago and a unified fabric strategy we laid out a year ago. During their launch, however, the company made a curious pronouncement: said newly announced switch was the "industry's only end-to-end Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)-based solution that brings the Fibre Channel (FC) standard and Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) together."This had me scratching my head a bit since we announced the Nexus 5000 a year ago, with a fine collection of ecosystem partners, and have customers with the solution in production already. Perhaps there is something magical in CEE that I missed? Well, if you read IBM's Redbook paper on FCoE and CEE, you will see that CEE looks remarkably similar to our discussion of the elements of Data Center Ethernet (DCE). The reality is that neither CEE and DCE are standards but rather marketing shorthand for a half a dozen extensions to the Ethernet standards that are in the process of being finalized and published–the exact same standards. We collectively came up with constructs like DCE and CEE because "IEEE 802.1Qaz" and its brethren is somewhat awkward to into conversation. Thankfully, this naming dichotomy is going to be short-lived. As the standards move towards finalization, you will either see adoption of the formal name, such as Data Center Bridging (DCB), of they will simply be folded into the term "Ethernet", as has happened in the past.Oh, and as for the ducks, much like DCE and CEE, they are the same.
Green Data Center Panel Discussion
Taken from the GigaOm Green:Net 09 show in San Francisco on March 24th, 2009. Moderated by Rich Miller of Data Center Knowledge, this is a good sampling of how large IT vendors are looking at Green from both an industry as well as a data center standpoint.This is a good view if you want to understand some of the higher level considerations of getting more Green in your data center. Most of the panelists also provide some insight into new technologies that are coming to market to help in the deployment and management of energy. Our take was on Cisco EnergyWise as a means to implement common monitoring and control of data center energy.Panelists for this session were:Kenneth Brill, Executive Director, The Uptime InstituteAlbert Esser, VP Power and Infrastructure Solutions, DellRich Lechner, VP Energy and Environment, IBMChristina Page, Director Climate and Energy Strategy, Yahoo!Myself, Robert Aldrich, Principal, Energy Management Solutions and Services, CiscoWhat was clear to me… Read More »

This is what the fire at 59 Hawthorne Hill Road in Farmington looked like before the entire structure collapsed. (Courtesy photo/Farmington Police Sgt. Michael S. McNeil Jr.)
FARMINGTON — A second-alarm structure fire at 59 Hawthorne Hill Road destroyed a 2�-story home late Monday night.Chief Richard Fowler confirmed there were no injury reports as of 11:30 p.m.The fire was reported by a neighbor at 10:13 p.m. Fowler said the fire was raised to a second-alarm fire as the department arrived on the scene."The house was fully involved on arrival," said Fowler. He explained that the department focused their efforts on containing the fire from spreading to the garage, a car in the driveway, and a nearby horse barn filled with hay.First responders from Barnstead, Somersworth, Rochester, Milton, Middleton, Strafford, and New Durham assisted local officials on the scene."The support from the surrounding towns has been awesome," said Fowler.Because of the narrow, winding, dirt road's rough terrain, only one fire truck could be brought all the way up the hill to the scene initially. Another truck was stationed half way up the road to help pump water to the scene, despite the lack of nearby hydrants.
Fowler explained that the water from the trucks was used to combat the fire.The fire was under control within a half-hour, according to Fowler.He said the warm weather was an issue. To combat the heat, the firefighters were rotating every 20 minutes to rehab.A live power line was downed at the scene. Crews from PSNH arrived to cut the power.Fire crews anticipated being on the scene well past midnight.The cause of the fire remains under investigation with the Farmington Fire Department.

With 800 million mobile subscribers in India, there are opportunities and challenges to developing successful mobile marketing and advertising campaigns.
About 12 years ago, I joined the digital marketing industry. Two years later, there was buzz in the market that mobile was emerging as a new advertising medium and it was here to grow. Ever since then, I've heard that popular statement from everybody: "Next year will be the year of mobile." I always wanted to believe it, and still do. The fact of the matter is that the year of mobile never came.
India has about 800 million mobile subscribers, making this medium comparable to TV in terms of its sheer reach in this country. Mobile has reached places where even TV hasn't yet. Some industry reports also suggest that India has about 150 million GPRS-enabled devices. As a marketer, these figures look lucrative to me but still mobile hasn't been able to take the position and mindshare it deserves.
Some possible reasons why mobile has not yet arrived in India:
1. India started using mobile marketing with simple text-based advertising through SMS. It was well integrated with traditional marketing efforts by brands through mention of "short codes" in print, radio, outdoor, and even TV. After seeing the initial success of this SMS platform, anybody and everybody started to send messages to the public at large irrespective of whether they subscribed to any such service or not. I still remember those days when I used to get 30 to 40 messages a day, which we can comfortably call as junk. This is where the problem started as far as SMS as a platform is concerned. Users stopped responding to these, and expectedly so. Finally, the government body TRAI had to come with a law governing SMS delivery in India. This is an example of how mobile was over exploited, to an extent where it is not generating any marketer's attention.
2. Lack of rich media content and inability to create meaningful and relevant content for the end user is another major hurdle for mobile marketing. Mass media like TV always has this advantage over mobile. The majority of TV advertisers look for innovative multimedia solutions for their brands in the form of advertising, given the screen size and therefore content delivery becomes a problem on a mobile device. Mobile advertising is also considered to be intrusive by many advertisers. In traditional TV or Internet advertising, the user has to switch TV or PC on, whereas the mobile device is always on, which raises questions about the effectiveness of this vehicle because a message is generally delivered when user is not interested.
3. Mobile advertising in India suffers from lack of reporting and analytics. People working in mobile advertising are natural graduates of Internet advertising and they are accustomed to robust analytics of online marketing. Strong analytics is almost the starting point for these advertisers. However, many suppliers who offer mobile advertising have not yet taken a step in this direction. Mobile will not sell purely on the basis of eyeballs it generates especially when technically it is possible to measure the response of mobile advertising.
4. Marketers in India have always seen integration of mobile into the other forms of advertising as a challenge. Brands usually work with multiple agencies at a time handling different aspects like traditional media, creative development, digital media, and creative development, outdoor, events, etc., etc. Bringing them to a single table to integrate mobile is a job easier said than done. Mobile as medium is better off when integrated than purely being a standalone vehicle. Everyone understands it, but a dedicated effort is required to encourage integration.
The positive side of the story:
1. Mobile as a medium has much more to offer than only SMS and WAP. Services like mobile TV, IVR, bluecasting, augmented reality, and more are just a glimpse of what mobile can actually offer. All this has helped marketers to regularly testing tools. There are ample amount of case studies available today about how successful various brands have used these services for their marketing efforts.
2. The mobile ecosystem's stakeholders are moving from intrusive to contextual and relevant communication on mobile for the user. We now have rich media and video content that makes this medium a constant participant in the marketing game. Thanks to the ever decreasing cost of smartphones and Internet capable devices in the country, coupled with diminishing cost of data usage, consumers are grasping the acceptance with both hands.
3. There are visible efforts by some companies to make robust analytics for this medium as well. It is a good sign that the suppliers have understood and started acting upon this bare minimum requirement from brands. And suppliers are starting to provide seamless response metrics, which will are a pillar that digital marketing rests upon. Some companies, like video networks, are trying to replicate what they did in the online space, which I believe is a good step in a direction that will put some sanity to the madness mobile is engulfed with. At least we will have some benchmarks to play around.
4. Integrated marketing efforts by the brands will strengthen the position of mobile in the overall marketing mix. Advertisers are finding newer and newer ways of including mobile in their marketing plans to make their other media work harder. Implementation of QR codes is a clear example an initiative.
Mobile is a medium with huge possibilities and scope when it comes to using it for marketing and advertising. It's just a matter of few basics to be put in place before we start using it as a mainstream medium. If that happens, we will stop waiting for that "Special Year of Mobile" because every year, then, will be the year of mobile

("Elpida") trustees announced today the closing of Micron's acquisition of 100 percent of Elpida's equity, pursuant to a Sponsor Agreement entered into on July 2, 2012 in connection with Elpida's corporate reorganization proceedings conducted under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo District Court. In a related transaction, Micron also announced today the completion of its acquisition of a 24 percent share of Rexchip Electronics Corporation from Powerchip Technology Corporation and certain of its affiliates. The transactions will be recorded for accounting purposes as being effective at 11:59 p.m., Tokyo time, on July 31, 2013.
Elpida's assets include a 300 millimeter (mm) DRAM fabrication facility located in Hiroshima, Japan; an approximate 65 percent ownership interest in Rexchip, whose assets include a 300mm DRAM fabrication facility located in Taiwan; and a 100 percent ownership interest in Akita Elpida Memory, Inc., whose assets include an assembly and test facility located in Akita, Japan. Together with the Rexchip shares acquired from Powerchip, Micron will control approximately 89 percent of Rexchip's outstanding shares and 100 percent of Rexchip product supply. The manufacturing assets of Elpida and Rexchip together can produce more than 185,000 300mm wafers per month, which represents an approximate 45 percent increase in Micron's current manufacturing capacity.
Using its advanced technologies, Elpida has built a strong presence in Mobile DRAM, targeting mobile phones and tablets. Micron is a leader in delivering enterprise DRAM solutions for networking and servers as well as offering a wide product portfolio in NAND flash memory and NOR. Combining the two complementary product portfolios will further strengthen Micron's position in the memory market and enable it to provide customers with an even more complete set of high-quality solutions.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Alexander Cosponsors Bill to Repeal Davis-Bacon Act, Save Taxpayers Billions Each Year
Alexander told Congress in 1995 that Davis-Bacon was "a big favor for the unions" but "no favor at all…for efficiency or economy"
Thursday, July 17, 2014Liz Wolgemuth / Jim Jeffries 202-228-4729
"Enough is enough: For 83 years, this handout to labor unions has meant that, rather than getting the job done for the lowest cost, taxpayers get charged extra on everything from building roads to painting buildings." –Lamar Alexander
Washington, D.C., July 17– U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tenn.), the senior Republican on the Senate labor committee, today cosponsored a bill introduced by Senator Mike Lee (R-Utah) to repeal the Davis-Bacon Act, a law mandating a wage subsidy on nearly all federally funded construction projects.
"Enough is enough: For 83 years, this handout to labor unions has meant that, rather than getting the job done for the lowest cost, taxpayers get charged extra on everything from building roads to painting buildings," Alexander said.
In 1995, Alexander testified before Congress urging the repeal of legislation that extended Davis-Bacon provisions to school construction and renovation, saying: "That means a principal in Moline who wants to hire a contractor to rewire his school for new computers must pay the prevailing union wage rather than getting the job done for the lowest cost. It's a big favor for the unions, but no favor at all for schools, efficiency or economy."
The Davis-Bacon Repeal Act would repeal the federal legislation that requires all contractors and subcontractors working on federally funded or assisted contracts worth more than $2,000 for the construction, alteration and repair of public buildings or public works to pay the local "prevailing wage," as determined by the Department of Labor.
The bill was also cosponsored by Senators Ted Cruz (R-Texas), Tim Scott (R-S.C.), Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), John Cornyn (R-Texas), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and David Vitter (R-La.).
The Congressional Budget Office reports that Davis-Bacon requirements increase construction costs by raising wages on federal projects, by requiring labor to be used in a costly fashion, and by imposing reporting and paperwork requirement on contractors. CBO estimates that a repeal would save $12.7 billion over ten years.
A 2008 Suffolk University study found that Davis-Bacon requirements cost U.S. taxpayers an additional $8.6 billion annually and add 9.9 percent to construction costs.
The Department of Labor's data on prevailing wages is expensive to collect and is subject to error, bias and fraud. The department's Inspector General has found these problems to be pervasive, despite millions invested to improve data collection.

Hi I have just bought a 2002 Focus from a person at work. I has an annoying squeak from the accessory belt when cold and damp and the previous owner was told by his garage it was a design fault!
Is this a common problem and would this be an issue with the AC compressor out of line or shall I change the belt to see if this fixes it?
My car looks like it's one without a tensioner, has anyone done one before?

Photographer Finds Cockatiels, Jesus in NYC Basements
- Monday December 23, 2013
If you want to know if a New York apartment building is worth living in, scrutinize its basement.
If you want to know if a New York apartment building is worth living in, scrutinize its basement.
With the release of NYC's crash data, enterprising web developer John Krauss has incorporated the information into a gorgeous (if morbid) interactive map that shows the safest and most dangerous intersections in and around New York.
Michael Bierut says the design of the maps is meant to be accurate, trustworthy and friendly. But not too friendly—this is New York City, after all.
"For us, this isn't yet a question of cost. It is a question of our intended values and our collective will," says Roger Duffy, a partner at SOM.
When the New York Army National Guard's 69th Infantry Regiment found themselves without power, hot water, or communications, they made an emergency plea — to the producers of the Victoria's Secret fashion show.
From the gas fields of Alaska to the streets of New York, drones are handling all kinds of tough jobs — and they're all (mostly) legal.
Head to St. Marks Place in the East Village then look for the red and yellow "Eat Me" sign. Take the steps into a hole-in-the-wall hot dog joint called Crif Dogs. Walk past three arcade games, then veer left. When facing a bathroom and a phonebooth, choose the latter. Pick up, dial in. It's a lot of effort but, then again, it's worth the rigmarole if you're in search of bacon-infused whiskeys or buttered popcorn-flavored rum.
Critics dismiss #OccupyWallStreet as a bunch of dirty, whining hippies and trustafarians. But many of the protesters at Zucotti Plaza are actually hacker-minded geeks bringing an engineering mentality to bear on politics and several high and low-tech problems.
Last night, New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly made a startling claim: that the NYPD has "some means to take down a plane," in the event of another terror attack. But don't let your imagination run too wild: There's no stealth jet emerging from 1 Police Plaza; there are no anti-aircraft missiles mounted on the […]
Apple, famous for pushing materials to their limits in order to make ridiculously thin and strong gadgets, is doing the same for its flagship Fifth Avenue store in New York City. A remodel of the already perfectly good design will see the amount of glass panels of the iconic cube reduced from 90 panes to […]

Denver-based Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill is expanding outside of its home state for the first time since the chain's launch in 2007.
Through an agreement with Texas-based franchisee Blue Jean Food Group (BJFG), up to 15 new units will open throughout the San Antonio and Austin, areas, with the first location slated to open in San Antonio in late summer 2012.
BJFG is a family-owned and operated restaurant group that owns the full service seafood restaurant Pelican's Landing in Port Aransas, Texas, and previously was involved in the Big Boy concept, also in Texas.
The deal marks the first of several new markets in which Garbanzo is looking to expand, said founder Alon Mor. Other markets include Washington, D.C., Baltimore, California, Arizona, Nebraska and New York.
By the end of 2012, the company will have six additional open franchised locations and will look to add another 20-25 combined corporate- and franchise-owned units by the end of 2013, Mor said. Currently, there are 14 restaurants in the Garbanzo system.
Since 2007, the executive team has been working on putting the right people and systems in place to foster growth. Training materials are available online and operational procedures have been designed to support large-unit growth.
"When franchisees come into the system, they can't believe we just have a few restaurants," Mor said. "But, we're here for the long haul."
Garbanzo's growth was recently supported by a partnership with Wellesley, Mass.-based private equity firm Gemini Investors. While terms of the deal were not disclosed, the funding will enable further market penetration outside of Colorado.
"Expanding the concept beyond the borders of Colorado is a major landmark in the history of Garbanzo," said Bob Bafundo, Garbanzo director of franchise development and operations. "Our brand has received consistent interest from experienced franchisees since inception in 2007, and we have been very fortunate to sign deals with numerous groups across the country. We only see that interest continuing to grow as more and more companies recognize the demand and enthusiasm for fast casual Mediterranean in their areas."

Next-Gen: The End of the Console Wars. Part 1.
29 Rooks
on 08.11.2012
The End of the Console Wars
In 1983, the game market crashed. I doubt I need to delve deeply into what happened, but suffice it to say that the first generation of consoles was over, and from the ashes of that collapse came the basic form of our current gaming industry. Nintendo released the NES/Famicom soon after the crash, and Sega soon followed with the Master System, initiating the console wars and the 8-bit era of gaming simultaneously. While Sega itself is no longer a player in consoles, and indeed if news be believed is in difficult financial shape, Sony and Microsoft -two of the world's largest corporations- are competing with Nintendo for the console market.
Make no mistake, some argue over whether or not gaming has become "mainstream," but in my opinion, ever since the likes of Microsoft and Sony debuted their own consoles, that argument was settled; these corporations are sprawling and massive, with literally hundreds of thousands of employees the world over, and any argument against the "mainstream" status of games is drowned by sheer numbers and resources.
Currently, the WiiU is set to launch, and Microsoft's plans for its next-generation console have been leaked to the web. Whether this was done intentionally by Microsoft after E3 to take attention from the WiiU is a matter of opinion, but suffice it to say, the next generation of console gaming is coming. And it is certain to be the last, for the cost of the video game is simply too high.
Recently, EA games executive Frank Gibeau said of the Dead Space franchise: "In general we're thinking about how we make this a more broadly appealing franchise, because ultimately you need to get to audience sizes of around five million to really continue to invest in an IP like Dead Space." Meaning, that is the forthcoming Dead Space 3 does not sell around five million copies, EA will rethink investing in the games. Let me put this into perspective for you, because five million is a big number. At $60 USD each, the game will gross $300 million dollars, that is about the same as the 2008 blockbuster film Iron Man grossed at the US box office. As of march last year, SquareEnix had claimed to have shipped five million copies of Final Fantasy XIII worldwide, while the so-called "game of the year" in 2009: Batman: Arkham Asylum sold well over three million in its first six months of release. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past while still on the SNES sold 4.61 million copies worldwide. I am not a fan of hyperbole, but please, try to think of a game that has had a better reception or is more widely respected than A Link to the Past. It is just simply not possible, even after twenty years, it is more rare to see a "top-ten of all time" list that omits A Link to the Past than one that contains it.
Arguments can be made that in the intervening years, consoles and computers capable of games like Dead Space are more common, thus higher sales are expected, and this is true. However, the sheer audacity of the statement Mr. Gilbeau remains; that EA is -in a way- holding its own franchise as a hostage to its fans at a ransom of $300 million USD, eclipsing even Arkham Asylum by at least one million sales. This cost -as some have called it: "excess"- is due to several factors, but the two in my opinion that stand out are the cost of production and the cost of administration.
As technology evolves, the cost of making a game like A Link to the Past diminishes. Indeed, any triple-A game developer could make what is essentially a clone of that game in less than a month, at a cost that is a fraction of the original 1990 production. But, instead of reducing the costs of production, the industry instead decided to increase production costs of games, not just the actual costs in dollar amounts, but also the costs relative to older generations of gaming, adjusted for inflation. These extra funds derived from a business plan that one could charitably call "aggressive," and more accurately call "insane." Essentially, these business plans call for a veritable Fibonacci Sequence of expansion in the market, and while the market could sustain aggressive expansion throughout the 1990s and 2000s, the predominance of the console is reaching a head; it is peaking, and these models are quickly becoming unsustainable. The major issue is not one of console sales, but rather developers failing to account for a slowing in console sales when making projections for profits, budgeting new titles, and deciding executive pay and marketing dollars. By intensely pushing these costs forward, they place themselves off balance for any downturn in sales, thus making them, and their companies, vulnerable to outside economic forces.
The book of James chapter 5, verse 5 comes to mind: "You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter." [NIV]
Well, perhaps that is a bit too dramatic, but it gets my point across: that the excess of the industry brings it into the realm of the moribund. It is certainly a possibility that we could see another crash in the industry like in 1983, but what form this "crash" could take is anyone's guess. Suffice it to say though, that in order to avoid such a crash, steps must need to be taken, including a reduction of production investments, marketing funds, and executive pay. With the goal of allowing the company to continue to produce quality games even during a downturn of console sales and digital distribution.
If another crash were to occur, it would certainly mean the end of the console as we know it. Home Computer platforms like Steam are becoming more and more popular, with fewer and fewer titles being exclusive to one console or another. This current generation has produced no clear winner, with Wii and Xbox sales on top, but Sony boasting the most powerful hardware and functionality. In the last generation, Microsoft proper had to bail out the Xbox console, because of lagging sales, until a certain FPS game -exclusive to the console, because Microsoft had purchased the developer- came and almost single-handedly save the console. But even before that, both the Xbox and PS2 consoles had been marketed before their release as upgradable. A promise that proved to be for naught when the consoles saw production. The PS2 -in terms of sales and third-party support- was the winner-by-descision of the last generation. On top, but failing to give a knockout blow to Nintendo or Xbox, largely due to Microsoft's intense financial support of the platform, and Nintendo's keen development teams that released a slew of fantastic exclusive titles, not only Metroid, Zelda, and Smash Bros, but also games like Eternal Darkness and Resident Evil 4, which had nearly a year of exclusivity on the GameCube.
However, in this current generation, the exclusive title has become largely a thing of the past. Barring a few exceptions, the most popular titles are multi-platform, as well as available on PC. This is expounded by the prevalence of the First-Person and Third-Person Shooter in this generation, which almost invariably control much smoother on a home-computer platform, due to mouse input taking the place of an analogue stick for precise aiming. With companies like Steam offering accessibility to the majority of games without a console, and also -as a consequence- evading the console game price mark-ups, this makes the previous console generation's strategy of marking down the console price itself into a loss for the company, only to recover that loss in games sales, into a liability. While this strategy allowed the Playstation and PS2 to thrive, doing so now further weakens their position.
If one adds this change in the industry to the change in the world economy since 2008, we see that the current business models carried over from the prior generation are unsustainable. Made all the more so because of the single-minded fury with which the console and game industry is attempting to expand. As I said before, we are left at a breaking point, and what comes next is anyone's guess.
It is very likely that the WiiU will be Nintendo's final console, but this could actually work in Nintendo's favor. Take -for example- the launch of the Xbox 360, in doing so, Microsoft halted production of Xbox 1 games, and basically corralled developers into the 360 fold. This allowed the 360 to get a head start on the PS3, one which Sony is yet to overcome. But, if Microsoft goes ahead with its next-generation plans while applying this same strategy, things could work out very differently. If the cost of development for the nex-gen Xbox proves too high, developers could run for the WiiU and PS3, leaving Microsoft in a terrible position, unless it wishes to reimburse production costs to developers in advance of sales. If production costs for the new console are high, and Microsoft continues the policy of marking the console cost down hoping to recoup losses from game sales, this could leave them in a hole that not even the massive funds from Microsoft proper could pull them out of. These same arguments can be applied to Sony's next-generation console, but without the added benefit of Microsoft's cash-on-hand. Though, the PS2 did not suffer the same halting of development that the Xbox did, and it is unlikely that the PS3 will either.
In order for a new generation of consoles to be financially feasible, they must, above all else, reduce game development costs, not increase them. Just as the PSone greatly reduced production costs by eliminating the cartridge, the next generation must reduce production costs through technological advancement.
This, however, will not likely be the case. 2K games president Christoph Hartmann recently said: ". . .certain emotions can't be recreated. Recreating a Mission Impossible experience in gaming is easy; recreating emotions in Brokeback Mountain is going to be tough. . . Until games are photorealistic, it'll be very hard to open up to new genres. We can really only focus on action and shooter titles; those are suitable for consoles now." It is interesting Mr. Hartmann mentioned Brokeback Mountain, which is based on Annie Proulx's novella of the same name. Meaning that the emotions in Brokeback can be rendered in programs as ancient and limited as Notepad. The obvious hypocrisy of this statement aside, it shows the determined ignorance pervading the triple-A gaming industry today, and what will ultimately lead to a major change in the industry.
Now many may think me out-of-line for saying this, but I will say it anyway: these types of attitudes from gaming executives will lead to a major reconstruction of the industry, simply because these people -have by their own words- proven themselves incapable of understanding their own industry, let alone being leaders within it. Irrespective of outside market and economic factors, the reconstruction of the industry would be a necessity, and together with those factors only raises the stakes and the extent of that reconstruction.
Indeed, the first mention of Photorealism in gaming that I remember happened back in 2001, when Hideo Kojima gave an interview for PSM magazine. Shortly after the release of Metal Gear Solid 2 for the PS2, Mr. Kojima noted that: "games are quickly moving to realistic graphics, and when that is achieved, all that will be left for games to expand are the areas of gameplay and storytelling." [This is a paraphrase, as PSM folded and there is no online archive for interviews this old.] So, more than ten years ago, Mr. Kojima had already realized that what is needed is an emphasis on game play and story, not on realistic graphics. Though for others in the industry, the intention seems to be the opposite.
So, what does all this talk of photorealism have to do with consoles? The fact is that even next-gen consoles will not have photorealistic graphics, and the first platform to achieve the mark will likely be the PC, with its upgradable structure. With the erroneous push for photorealism comes the last nail in the coffin of the console, as console makers seem reluctant to make their products upgradable, fearing a loss in sales, even though they actually lose money on those sales. Here we have a logical fallacy from which there is no escape but an upgradable console, available at a similar price to a personal computer.
I think I will leave things there for this week, as this essay has run over-long in any event. Next week, I hope to talk about the Ouya console, and about my personal ideas for an ideal console. But for now, thank you for reading.

I don't know how well bluing works on synthetic fabric. Never thought about it. I do know when I saw some in a little country store a few months ago, I was really shocked. That's probably the first time I've seen it in years -- literally. I didn't know anyone used it for anything, still.
However, I'd paint myself blue as anything if I thought it really would help keep mosquitoes off me! I can't imagine why it might help, but I swear I'd be blue as a goose if I thought for a second it would keep those little devils from biting me! I hate mosquitoes.

EPISD Probe Sheds Light On Corruption
POSTED: Tuesday, April 24, 2012 - 4:21pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, April 25, 2012 - 9:06am
EL PASO — Students, parents and employees have been accusing the administrators at Bowie High school of pushing low-performing students out of school for years. Tuesday the district announced that both the principal and the district executive no longer work at Bowie.
NewsChannel 9 broke the story first when both the U.S. Department of Education and the FBI began their investigations back in 2010. The district finally admitted Tuesday that there may be a problem in the district.
The El Paso Independent School District is no stranger to investigations. Former Superintendent Lorenzo Garcia was indicted for the misuse of the district's funds.
In addition the FBI and the U.S. Department of Education have been looking into several high schools for pushing low performing students out of school since 2010.
"We have also reported to the federal government that some El Paso students may have been improperly denied the opportunity to enroll at Bowie and that some students were pushed out of regular school classes and into disciplinary programs without the proper involvement of parents," said EPISD Interim Superintendent Dr. Terri Jordan.
The interim superintendent, former chief of staff during Garcia's administration released evidence that supports some of the allegations.
"We made these decisions because of what i can only describe as significant failures in our number one job of educating every student these failures occurred during a previous administration beginning as early as 2008 and through the next 3 years," Dr. Jordan said.
And the district took action.
"I have directed the removal of Bowie High school Jesus Chavez and his reassignment to other administrative duties away from the school effective yesterday," she said.
Myrna Gamboa. was also removed from her position for allegedly inappropriately changing student's grades.
Dr. Terri Jordan says another top administrator, Damon Murphy, currently the Superintendent of Canutillo, sent out an email in August of 2008 that deeply troubles her. She said it could be proof of administrators trying to wrongfully hold students back.
A former employee of EPISD Linda Hernandez Romero was one of the first to speak out against the district in our previous reports. She says she's known about these issues for years.
"I believe 2008, it tried slowing down when we started speaking up," Romero said. "It's really sad that things weren't done in time for these kids. A lot of these kids are already of age and they won't be given that opportunity."
The probe into EPISD is far from over. A hotline was set up so anyone can anonymously report potential student record problems, at 1-800-620-8591 or visit EPISD.org.

Lions' defense shines in Super Bowl victory
West Boylston/Tahanto 14 Leicester 6 By Bill Marsh ITEM STAFF
Add a comment
"This (Lions) team played great and, as usual, our defense came through, as it has all season."
Dave Tinglof, WBHS-TRHS FOOTBALL COACH
It was a Super Saturday for the West Boylston/Tahanto Regional High School football team.
For only the second time in program history, the Lions are Super Bowl champions.
Led by a ferocious defense, West Boylston/Tahanto defeated Leicester, 14-6, to capture the Division 5 Super Bowl on Saturday morning at Worcester State Universitys John F. Coughlin Field. West Boylston/Tahanto beat Narragansett, 14-7, in last Tuesdays divisional playoff game.
The top-seeded Lions finished the season with a 12-1 record, the most wins by a football team in school history. The undefeated 1988 team, which went 11-0, was the schools first Super Bowl champion.
The defending D-5 champion Wolverines, the third seed in the postseason tournament, ended their season at 10-3.
To put a little icing on the cake, it was West Boylston/Tahanto head coach Dave Tinglofs 39th birthday.
This (Lions) team played great and, as usual, our defense came through, as it has all season. Tinglof said. They played awesome. I am so proud of these guys.
With light snow falling throughout the game, both teams relied on their running games.
After the West Boylston/Tahanto defense forced Leicester to punt on four downs on its first possession, the Lions took over at midfield.
Keeping the ball on the ground, West Boylston/Tahanto alternated carries by senior fullback Mike Pace and junior running back Devin Desautels to move the ball to the Wolverine 2 in nine plays.
With 4:45 left in the first quarter, senior quarterback Steven Gould bulled his way into the end zone.
Gould, who stepped into the quarterback role this season, described the touchdown.
The two guards collapsed and formed a wedge, and I went right up the middle, Gould said. Ive been dreaming about this, and this is the happiest day of my life.
Behind blocks by senior captain Matt Loureiro and junior tight end Kyle McCubrey, Desautels motored around right end for the two-point conversion.
The Lions owned an 8-0 lead.
On its next possession, Leicester, also relying on its ground game, put together its best drive of the contest.
The Wolverines engineered a 16-play drive, culminating in a 1-yard plunge by junior quarterback Drew Mazzeo. There was 7:32 left in the first half, with Leicester using nearly eight minutes on the touchdown drive.
On the two-point conversion attempt, Loureiro, at his defensive end position, hammered Leicester back Nicholas Kenneway to the ground to keep the Lions in the lead, 8-6.
The two teams exchanged possessions during the remainder of the first half, but neither could mount a credible drive.
West Boylston/Tahanto held an 8-6 advantage at the break.
The third quarter was fought in the trenches, with both teams defenses making big plays.
However, early in the fourth quarter, the Lions scored the winning touchdown.
On the first play of the frame, West Boylston/Tahanto was stopped on fourth down from the Wolverine 7 after engineering a 10-play drive.
The Lions defense, once again, stood tall, and forced Leicester to punt in four downs.
West Boylston/Tahanto took over on the Wolverine 39. With the weather deteriorating, Tinglof decided to take a chance and put the ball in the air.
The gamble paid off.
On first and 10 from the 39, Gould rolled to his left and threw a 38-yard strike to junior split end Bryan Hayes, who was double-teamed the entire game.
We had to throw that pass there and the kids were pretty confident we could get it done, Tinglof said of the game-changing toss.
The pass to Hayes was our go-to pass all year, Gould said. When we needed a complete pass, he (Hayes) was our man.
We think he can out-run, out-jump, and out-catch anybody in Central Mass., he said.
Two plays after Hayes catch, the Lions were knocking on the door.
On third and goal from the Leicester 1, Pace burst into the end zone for the game winner thanks to blocks by Loureiro and McCubrey.
The two-point conversion run was no good.
The West Boylston/Tahanto defense held the Wolverines on their next possession and then the offense was able to run out the clock.
Senior linemen Ryan Lindsay, Nate McCarthy and Rob Jameson all made big hits for the Lions, forcing a fumble, a punt, and a turnover on downs over the final 20 minutes of play.
We moved the ball when we had to, Tinglof said. Mike Pace, Steve Gould, Ben Tasker, just all of them, had great games.
Pace, as he has done all season, gave credit to the offensive line, known as The Horsemen.
They (Leicester) have a real good defense, but the Horsemen came through, Pace said of the winning touchdown. They knew what they had to do, and I just followed my blockers.
Our defense was huge, he said. We studied film all week for this (game).
After missing out (on the postseason) by one (rankings point) last year and going out as a senior, this is the best feeling in the world, Pace added.
Pace was the go-to guy all season for the Lions, rushing for 93 yards against Leicester and over 1,000 for the season.
We were able to move the ball when we had to, and Mike Pace had a great game, Tinglof said Steven Gould, Ben Tasker, just everyone did a great job.
West Boylston/Tahanto had a powerful offense, averaging 32 points per game. The defense allowed an average of 12.5.
Loureiro, along with senior captain Tyler ODay, anchored the offensive line. Both captains were also huge contributors on defense.
This (Super Bowl victory) is indescribable, Loureiro said. It has been 24 years since weve been here, and we pulled it off. That really says something about our team.
Loureiro explained the origin of The Horsemen.
We have one of the best defenses in Central Mass., and we played lights out today, Loureiro said. Coach (Doug) Sochokva gave us the nickname.
He gave us that name after the 80s (professional) wrestling group, he said. (Like them) he thought we were all together as a group and came through when needed.
ODay put the victory in historical perspective.
This (Super Bowl) is just an unbelievable honor, ODay said. It is just the second time in school history that this has been done.
It is just a great testament to all the hard work the guys put in, he said. It is just the greatest honor of my life to be one of the captains of this team.
