VideoGamer.com: So far your games tend to come out as digital downloads on PC and WiiWare and then they come to XBLA. Will that continue or are you looking to get a day and date for the XBLA versions?
DC: Wallace & Gromit was PC and XBLA. We've got to figure out with Microsoft what the right project is for them. We pump out so much content so fast. Microsoft has a pretty big infrastructure and there's a lot of demand for the various slots. It's something that we've got to work out with them, with timings and things like that. We'd love to be on XBLA with all our products, and certainly we'd love to day and date with specific products as much as we can with them. It's just a matter of getting the relationship smoothed out to a place where our turnaround and their programming schedule match up and make sense.
VideoGamer.com: Sam & Max is obviously popular. How many seasons have they got in them?
DC: (Laughs) We often have talked about the 14th season of Sam & Max. To me the exciting thing is definitely the way the characters have developed over time, the way their universe has developed over time. So long as we can keep it fresh and original. I was really excited that Season Two was even better than Season One. Not to talk people away from Season One, I felt we got better at doing what we do and the stories were better and we were more focused on making it more episodic. It was just a better experience. If Season Three ends up improving upon that then Season Four will be a no brainer. It's how long we can keep the positive momentum going for the franchise and making the experience better and better each time out.
VideoGamer.com: You'll know – what exactly is Max?
DC: (Laughs) I have heard the term lagomorph and rabbity thing. A lagomorph is a bunny-like creature.
VideoGamer.com: Like a rabbity thing?
DC: (Laughs) A rabbity thing, yeah. I think a lagomorph is the scientific description for anything with big ears.
VideoGamer.com: Browsing through Telltale's forums, some of your fans have wondered about your support for the PS3. We haven't seen any of Telltale's games come to the PSN. Is there a reason for that?
DC: Telltale's been growing rapidly and nailing the episodic production process and going after these licenses and building a company. We just got on Xbox in May. The PSN's our next target. We've just got to get the plan in place to start moving stuff over in that direction as well. We want to be on every channel. We want to get there as fast as we can, but there are limitations of hours in the day! It's certainly a huge deal for us and we want to be there. It's exciting the way Sony's pushing PSN. One of the most interesting things for me between the three consoles is the way they're all evolving their own downloadable experience. They all have a different approach to it. For us, being able to get in each of them and make our content appropriate for their understanding of the online space helps us be more flexible and dynamic.
VideoGamer.com: What's required that's different for a PSN version of Sam & Max or Monkey Island for example?
DC: Aside from the differences in the hardware of the boxes, Xbox is focused on the Achievements and leaderboards. To them that's a huge piece of driving sales and keeping players engaged and making the online experience special for the users. For them that's a big deal that they always push. They happen to be try before you buy, so you always have to do a demo and your demo has to motivate people to come over and buy the product. And then they're also very much a multimedia box now. The way you communicate to people about your games through movies and different theme packs and all those things that enhance the game experience, Xbox is pretty far along with that stuff.
WiiWare on the other hand has its 40MB limit and is more of a direct store. No demos for WiiWare at all. The system for the movies and the around the game stuff, they're not as demanding about that stuff. So it's a different mindset over there for the type of content the WiiWare audience is used to.
And then my assumption with PSN and especially working with Home, is you've got to think about the whole experience for the user when they enter the franchise world and get in and interact with your product. It's real interesting what they're doing with that and there's a great opportunity to build interactive storefronts and things like that, to help you introduce people to your games and characters. Obviously for us it's a huge deal because you need to get to know Sam & Max a little bit before you're ready to jump in and make the purchase.
VideoGamer.com: Is it just that making it work for PSN and Home is a pain in the arse?
DC: You know it's different. It's a different box than the others. They all have their own things about it and you can only focus on one at a time. With Strong Bad, it seemed like such a great Wii title that we started working on that one first. Then Wallace & Gromit, we talked with Microsoft about that one for a long time and they really wanted to do it, so we ended up there. So really it's just the next in line, and it brings a lot of challenges. It's unique, it's a different box. You need to focus on it and you need to focus a team on it. It's just having the time to sit down and do the work. Once it's over then we're just going to undo the tap and all the content is going to pour into the PSN. Hopefully we can figure out the right arrangements from a business standpoint.
VideoGamer.com: So your PS3-owning fans have much to look forward to?
DC: Oh yeah. We're definitely trying to get there as quick as we can with everything. Once we're there we'll be on all three services and that'll be a huge accomplishment for the company.

Legally Speaking - Drunk Cyclist-dot-Busted
By Bob Mionske
Posted May. 15, 2003
Dear Bob;(
Here's an odd one for ya: Can someone get their driver's license revoked for cycling while drunk? Is it illegal and, if so, what can they do to you if you are caught riding while intoxicated?(
Otis,(North Carolina
Dear Otis;(
I have to admit that at first, I didn't think this question was really all that applicable to readers of this column. But, the more I thought about it, the more relevant it seemed. For instance, I'm sure many cyclists have attended a summer barbecue by bike only to partake in all that is offered before riding home. Then there is former 7-Eleven rider Alex Stieda (the first North American to don the Yellow Jersey in the Tour de France), who used to organize something called the "So you think you're tough" bicycle race in which participants had to consume a full beer every lap before continuing. Now, that race was held in British Columbia, and Canada is almost like a different country, so maybe that doesn't count, eh?
I also personally recall at least one lightheaded and exciting ride home from a saloon at the end of a long hot day in the saddle. And then there is, of course, a site dedicated to this and other questions of excess at www.drunkcyclist.com and… well, enough said. (Actually, not enough said... a word of caution, don't open that site at work or in front of your kids or mother, okay?)
At least eight states have determined that drunk cycling falls within their drunk driving statutes: California, Florida, Hawaii, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon and Pennsylvania. Only a few have said the opposite, including Washington State, Illinois and Louisiana.
Let's compare two states that didn't have specific language. Florida said drunk cycling is the same as drunk driving and Illinois didn't. Why?
Florida's version is the current model traffic code language, Illinois' is from the older, early 1980's version. The same is true for their respective definitions of vehicle:
In Florida, a bicycle is a vehicle, while in Illinois a bicycle is treated as if it were a bicycle. Compare the judge's decision in the two cases:
See what an incredible difference just a few words can make?
Can your license be revoked for drunk cycling?
Four states have heard court appeals where a bicyclist was both convicted of drunk bicycling and where the cyclist's driver's license was revoked: Hawaii, New Jersey, Ohio and Pennsylvania. Only Pennsylvania determined that a driver's license could be revoked for a bicycling violation. The state's commonwealth court said that:
On the other hand, a New Jersey court clearly stated the opposing argument when it upheld a cyclist's conviction for drunk driving, but refused to suspend his driver's license:
So, what's the conclusion? It's probably a legislative matter. Those states that put specific language in their code books prohibiting drunk cycling and permitting their license bureaus to revoke a drunk cyclist's driver's license will enforce it, and most of those that choose not to probably won't.
If you are too intoxicated to drive a motorized vehicle, you probably should not ride a bicycle either. However, the idea of mounting a bike when you are too inebriated to drive a car is as old as the invention of motorized vehicles themselves and a Washington State court seemed to endorse this idea when it decided that a cyclist was not subject to the DUI provisions, explaining that drunk bicycling, in consideration of the lower traveling speeds and vehicle weight, in most cases, did not present the same risk to society.
Good Luck-

This challenging four-day hike will make any naturist's heart beat higher. Not only will one see the most varied geological formations but also hike through rugged terrain, through gorges, wide-open hilltops, along quiet alpine lakes and idyllic ponds. While one's views constantly change, the one thing one does not lose sight of though is the massive Les Diablerets chain.
The first segment goes from the village of Les Diablerets over the Col de la Croix. it affords some spectacular views onto the Dents du Midi, the Muverans, and the Mont-Blanc. Sleep in Alp Les Chaux. Then press onwards across the wide open plateau towards the Pas de Cheville. Then it is a steep descent through the virgin forest of Derboranence. The exposed path is hewn into the cliff and is thus not recommended to hikers with vertigo. It leads right to the Sanetsch Pass where one sleeps at the artificial lake. Then continue via Gsteig where one crosses the language border, then back to the Col du Pillon and the village Les Diablerets.
How to get there:
Drive or take public transportation from Bern to Gstaad and to Les Diablerets. Or from Lausanne via Aigle to Les Diablerets.
The careful planning of a tour will ensure that you also derive the maximum pleasure and enjoyment from it. Please take the time to contact the local information centre and enquire about route and weather conditions before setting off. Your intended trail may be fully or partially closed, depending on the time of year and weather conditions.

Published August 15, 2013
Researchers from The Johns Hopkins University will conduct tests tomorrow to see how a Southern California earthquake could impact a two-story office building.
But the tests are not being held at Johns Hopkins. Or in Southern California. They're being held in UB's Structural Engineering and Earthquake Simulation Laboratory, where two shake tables will mimic the strongest seismic forces recorded during the catastrophic Northridge earthquake of 1994.
Johns Hopkins' researchers chose to work at UB because the university has the only earthquake simulation lab in the U.S. that is capable of replicating an earthquake in three directions beneath a building measuring 50 feet long, 20 feet wide and 20 feet tall. Several local contractors, including Mader Construction Co. of Elma and ALP Steel of Buffalo, have worked on the project.
UB researchers and other collaborators have been conducting research on the shake tables since the earthquake simulation lab was opened in 2004. The dual-movable, six-degree-of-freedom shake tables, made by MTS Systems Corp., can easily be repositioned within the lab for real-time seismic testing of structures up to 120 feet long and 30 feet high.
Most recently, UB earthquake engineers simulated the Virginia quake that rattled the East Coast in 2011 to determine how vulnerable panel walls within New York City row houses are to temblors. During that test, held last February, two 14-foot-tall walls, built with materials such as 100-year-old brick, were put on a shake table that mimicked the Virginia quake.
In tomorrow's test, Johns Hopkins researchers will be trying to find out how well a two-story building made of cold-formed steel, which is recycled steel, can stand up to forces comparable to those at the epicenter of the 1994 Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles that claimed dozens of lives and caused billions of dollars in damage.
Trials will include four low-level tests, each lasting 90 seconds, and one "big test" that replicates the Northridge quake. This test will last about 30 seconds.
Lead researcher Benjamin Schafer, Swirnow Family Scholar, professor and chair of the Department of Civil Engineering in the Whiting School of Engineering at Johns Hopkins, says this will be the first such test of a full building of cold-formed steel framing.
The results are expected to lead to improved nationwide building codes that may make future cold-formed steel buildings less expensive to construct than those made of such materials as timber, concrete or hot-rolled steel, as well as help reduce the likelihood of costly and life-threatening building collapses in earthquake-prone regions.
It also could lead to broader use of building components made of the environmentally friendly cold-formed steel, which is made of 100 percent recycled steel.

|Structure of All-Polymer Solar Cells Impedes Efficiency
Organic solar cells are made of thin layers of interpenetrating structures from two different conducting organic materials and are increasingly popular because they are both potentially cheaper to make than those currently in use and can be "painted" or printed onto a variety of surfaces, including flexible films made from the same material as most soda bottles. A large community is exploring a number of promising material combinations (polymer/fullerene, polymer/inorganic, all-polymer, and dye-sensitized cells), seeking a deeper understanding of their fundamental structure, operation, and limitations. A team of researchers from North Carolina State University and the UK has now found, through microscopy and resonant scattering and reflectivity studies at ALS Beamlines 6.3.2 and 5.3.2, that the low rate of energy conversion in model all-polymer solar cells is caused by domains that are too large and interfaces that are not sharp enough. This insight will lead to new approaches to all-polymer device technology that will help realize the intrinsic potential of these materials.
Solution-processed organic solar cells are attracting substantial, world-wide attention due to their potential as a low-cost photovoltaic technology. The active thin layer in such solar cells has to be simultaneously thick enough (~150–200 nm) to absorb most of the light and have internal structures small enough (~10 nm) for that captured energy—known as an exciton—to be able to travel to the site of charge separation and electricity generation. One of the field's fundamental challenges is to create such structures in a controlled fashion, and advances often depend on trial-and-error methods. Furthermore, conventional tools are often unable to visualize the morphology or characterize details of the important interface between electron donor and acceptor materials where the charge separation of the exciton takes place. Substantial progress has been made in understanding all-polymer devices using advanced characterization tools at the ALS, including x-ray microscopy, resonant soft x-ray scattering, soft x-ray reflectivity, photoluminescence quenching, device characterization, and Monte Carlo studies.
For the morphology studies, model blends of the conjugated polymers PFB and F8BT were annealed at different temperatures. The resulting phase separation was studied using resonant soft x-ray scattering and scanning transmission x-ray microscopy. The data showed a wide variety of domain sizes with rather impure compositions. The dominant domain sizes were much larger than the exciton diffusion length for all processing conditions, including annealing at intermediate temperatures yielding maximum device efficiency. Intermixing within these large domains means that not all excitons are lost to recombination; however, this hierarchy of phase separation prevents the creation of "ideal" morphologies of pure domains ~10 nm in size by the casting and annealing approach. Thus, even in the morphology that maximized device performance, some excitons must travel too far and are lost, while some domains are still too intermixed, hindering charge separation. This contributes to the poor performance of solar-cell devices made from blends of these polymers and might be indicative of all polymer devices in general. Other all-polymer-based solar cells are being investigated to see if their low efficiencies are due to this same structural problem.
The influence of interface structure on the performance of devices was also investigated using PFB/F8BT bilayer heterojunctions. Resonant soft x-ray reflectivity provided quantitative information on the roughness of the interface as a function of annealing protocol. Only the cold laminated bilayers were sharp, and even mild annealing caused the interface to roughen. The measured roughness was an important input parameter for Monte Carlo simulations that were used to reproduce the experimental device current–voltage characteristics. Nonequilibrium, sharp interfaces are optimal for charge separation and optimal device performance. The challenge will now be to reliably create small, interpenetrating networks with sharp interfaces in order to produce high-efficiency devices. New fabrication methods will have to be found.

Show pride and interact with consumers at the fair
Show pride and interact with consumers at the fair
Youth at the Wisconsin State Fair share messages with fairgoers.
by Chelsey Johnson, Hoard's Dairyman Editorial Intern
Showing livestock at the fair can be a hectic time filled with preparing for shows and interviews, as well as keeping up with chores at the fair and home. While it may seem you have no time to rest or stop to think, you should be prepared for the questions fairgoers may ask.
I recently judged the educational displays and herdsmanship for junior dairy exhibitors at the Wisconsin State Fair. The youth exhibitors were quick to come and ask me if I had any questions as soon as they spotted my clipboard, knowing that they would receive points for interacting with the judge. We asked each youth the same question: "What message do you want to bring to fairgoers when they pass through the barn." After talking to youth from several counties, I came up with a few tips to keep in mind as you prepare to interact with fairgoers.
1. Be prepared to respond to the negative.
When asked what message he wants to bring to consumers, Cody Getschel of Polk County said, "There are a lot of negatives about our industry on the news. We want to make sure people see the positives." With this point in mind, stay informed about negatives in the media, and be prepared to respond to these negatives with solid positive facts without becoming overly defensive.
2. Don't assume people already know the basics.
Ben Kosten of Manitowoc County said, "We live in America's Dairyland, but people need to be reminded that we are excited to put food on the table." Ben makes a good point, people are becoming further and further removed from agriculture, so the county or state fair may be the only time they see a dairy cow. Take each question seriously, even if it seems basic or humorous to you.
3. Show pride in your animals and industry.
One of the best ways to maintain a positive image for the dairy industry at the fair is to keep your area in the barn clean. While you may be motivated to maintain a clean area because of a herdsmanship competition, displaying a positive image to fairgoers should provide extra incentive. Youth at the Wisconsin State Fair, like many other fairs, create educational displays near their animals. Make a point to provide current, accurate and engaging information with your display. Also, don't be afraid to add a personal touch. Youth from Sheboygan County created a display about the cheese plants in their county. By personalizing the display, they were able to more easily connect with consumers.
Even though preparing to exhibit at a fair can be a busy and hectic time, you should make the extra effort to answer consumers' questions and display your area with pride. To equip yourself to interact with consumers, use Dairy Management, Inc.'s Telling YOUR Story flip book, which contains consumer tested key messages. More information can be found at www.dairyfarmingtoday.org. You can also learn more about interacting with consumers at the fair from our Young Dairymen page in the April 25, 2012, issue of Hoard's Dairyman.

Don't you get tired of the liberals hypocrisy? Remember how these same democrats 'screamed' and showed their childish sides when gas prices shot up to not anywhere near where they've been under Obama's control, and got angry at President Bush because he refused to dip into our oil reserves to help citizens with gas prices? The liberals thought THAT was "stormy enough" to 'tap' into our reserves. We're now in the worse recession with 'depression' right around the corner.....and these tax-and-spend radicals don't think it's 'stormy enough' to NOT raise our taxes and HOARD our money! Vote these clowns out next election ASAP!!!!

on March 7, 2013 - 9:24 PM
, updated March 8, 2013 at 9:11 PM
WASHINGTON – About 8,000 people who have been jobless for more than six months in the Buffalo area will see their unemployment benefits cut by 10.7 percent next month as sequestration, the automatic budget reductions forced on the country by the president and the Congress, goes into effect.
In addition, a key cleanup project in the Buffalo River has been delayed, and Customs and Border Protection is saying that wait times at border crossings could approach five hours this summer if planned employee furloughs take effect.
Those are the key developments locally a week after Congress allowed the sequestration cuts to take effect.
While Republicans such as Rep. Chris Collins of Clarence on Thursday continued to question whether the Obama administration is executing the cuts in the most draconian way possible, there's broad agreement that the first who will suffer from them will be those who can afford it the least: the long-term unemployed.
"To cut the benefits of people who have nowhere else to turn is really devastating," said Jennifer L. Diagostino, executive director of the Coalition for Economic Justice in Buffalo. "You're talking about people who need these benefits for the basic necessities to get by."
The cuts won't affect state-funded unemployment benefits, which cover the jobless through their first 26 weeks of unemployment. Instead, the cuts affect federally funded extended unemployment benefits, which people can receive if they have been unemployed for between 26 and 54 weeks.
Some 6,340 Erie County residents were on extended unemployment benefits as of the end of last week, as were 1,660 people in Niagara County, said Chris White, assistant director of communications at the New York State Department of Labor, which announced the 10.7 percent cut in benefits on its website.
"If you are receiving federal extended unemployment benefits that start after 26 weeks, the federal government has directed us to reduce your payments by 10.7 percent beginning that first week in April," the Department of Labor said. "New York State has no control over these cuts in benefits and no ability to waive or reduce the level of cuts."
Unemployment benefits in New York max out at $405 a week, and any cut to that would "have a huge impact" on people looking for work, Diagostino said.
What's more, it's likely to have a huge impact on the economy, given that the long-term unemployed will have less to spend, said Rep. Brian Higgins, D-Buffalo. "You're taking demand out of the economy by doing this," he said.
And that's just the start of sequestration's impact.
Higgins said the Environmental Protection Agency has informed his office that it is delaying work on a $50 million project to transform the Buffalo River from an industrial dumping ground to a working waterway where people can swim and fish. Bids on the most substantial part of the project were set to go out this year, but now those plans have been put on indefinite hold.
Work on the project began two years ago, but much remains, and Higgins said he is concerned that any delay will only make things more difficult to complete.
"The consensus plan is based on a vast body of sediment and water samples and other technical data gathered from the field," Higgins said in a letter to Susan Hedman, Great Lakes National Program manager for the EPA. "We fear that if too much time is allowed to slip, and this technical data is allowed to age, this data will less and less reflect the actual conditions in the river and its bed. In that case, years of planning and the government's tremendous investment in gathering this data will have been wasted."
Similarly, Customs and Border Protection is warning that plenty of time will be wasted by drivers this summer thanks to sequestration and its resulting furloughs for workers who staff the customs booths at the Peace Bridge, Rainbow Bridge and Lewiston-Queenston Bridge.
"There will also be greater wait times for personal vehicles and pedestrians at our land border ports, with the doubling of peak waits up to five hours or more at our largest land border crossings," Customs and Border Protection said in a memo on its website. "Travelers should adjust their trip itineraries to account for unexpected delays."
That's the most specific the agency has been so far regarding the border delays, which are expected to develop primarily during the busy travel months of the summer.
"Clearly, we're concerned about it," said Ron Rienas, general manager of the Peace Bridge Authority. "Anything that impedes the free flow of traffic is cause for concern."
Given the possible delays, Rienas urged travelers to apply for NEXUS trusted-traveler cards, or at least passport cards or enhanced driver's licenses, to make border crossings easier this summer.
Higgins said the possible border delays are one more example of the Congress' irresponsible approach to budgeting, but Collins cast a doubtful eye on the warnings about backups at the border.
Collins questioned why Customs and Border Protection – which is planning to furlough workers for a total of 14 days between early April and Sept. 30 – would give workers those unpaid days off in the summer, rather than on the slower travel days of the spring and early fall.
"I believe these are more of President Obama's scare tactics," Collins said. "This president is trying to continue to scare the public, to inflict pain where he can to try to get more taxes."
Obama has demanded more taxes on the wealthy as a part of any plan to replace the sequestration cuts, but so far, at least, it doesn't look like he's going to get his way.
The House on Wednesday passed a six-month spending bill locking in the sequestration cuts for the rest of the fiscal year, which ends Sept. 30, while keeping taxes steady.
And while Higgins opposed that bill, saying Congress should be focused on promoting economic growth rather than sharply cutting spending, Obama has indicated he's unlikely to force a confrontation with Republicans on such a temporary spending measure, which must be finalized by March 27 to avoid a government shutdown.
"No one," Collins said, "wants to shut down the government."

American Idol threw yet another new twist at its 40 remaining contestants: a sudden-death round.
"One song, one chance, no mercy," Ryan Seacrest said as the first group of 10 female contestants gathered in Las Vegas to try to finally sing their way – in front of a boisterous studio audience – through to the "America votes" phase of the competition.
Five women moved on, five went home.
Kentucky high school junior Jenny Beth Willis, whose rendition of a Trisha Yearwood song earned mixed reviews from the judges, was the first up. Although Keith Urban appreciated her "effortless confidence," Nicki Minaj said her performance lacked excitement (a comment that elicited the first audience boos of the season). Final result: It was the end of the road for Willis.
Tenna Torres, 28, – who attended Mariah Carey's camp for kids as a youngster – took the stage next and impressed the judges with her take on the Natasha Bedingfield's "Soulmate." But she lost style points with Minaj, who didn't like one particular aspect of her look. "Lose the hair," said Minaj, who felt the contestant's coif aged her. Final result: She made it through to the Top 20.
The three most powerful performances of the night all made it to the next round: Nashville's Kree Harrison, who despite taking a decidedly plain-Jane approach to styling, wowed the judges with her version of Patty Griffin's "Up to the Mountain." "You sang the hell out of that song," said Carey.
Angela Miller, 18, of Massachusetts, belted out Jessie J's hit "Nobody's Perfect." But she pretty much was.
And Amber Holcomb, an assistant teacher from Texas, closed the show with a rousing (and well received) rendition of "My Funny Valentine."
For the final spot of the night, it came down to Anchorage, Alaska, resident Adriana Latonio, 17, who tackled Aretha Franklin's "Ain't No Way," and Shubha Vedula, a Michigan high school senior who sang Lady Gaga's "Born This Way."
Although the judges saw potential in both contestants, they ultimately picked Lantonio's powerhouse vocals in a final emotional moment.
Thursday will bring out the guys. The first round of 10 will take the stage to try to make the top 20 – but once again, five will go home.

East Lothian, Scotland (Sports Network) - For years, Phil Mickelson struggled
playing on links golf courses. At 43-years-old, he's figure them out.
Mickelson put together one of the best final rounds in major championship
history on Sunday as he fired a 5-under 66 at the Open Championship.
Mickelson, the U.S. Open runner-up for a sixth time, matched the low round of
the week and his second-best score in a major.
After winning the Scottish Open last week, Mickelson had as much momentum
entering the season's third major as anyone in the field. He had one of 20
under-par round on Thursday, but went 4-over par in the middle two rounds.
With four birdies in the last six holes, Mickelson has put himself into
position to win his first claret jug.
Henrik Stenson is on 18, so he can't catch Mickelson. Westwood bogeyed the
16th and will need a miracle finish to force a playoff.

"My mind wandered"
At least one-third of the people we know are introverts. They are the ones who prefer listening to speaking, reading to partying; who innovate and create but dislike self-promotion; who favor working on their own over brainstorming in teams. Although they are often labeled "quiet," it is to introverts that we owe many of the great contributions to society--from van Gogh's sunflowers to the invention of the personal computer.
"Thought provoking and Uplifting.... A++++++++!!!!!"
Why we think it's a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand's done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds.

"Do you believe in miracles??"
Why we think it's a great listen: The most celebrated performance in all of Audible's history, The Help has nearly 2,000 5-star reviews from your fellow listeners.

"What a great surprise!"
Why we think it's a great listen: There's no gentle way to put this – Frank McCourt's performance of Angela's Ashes is just better than the Pulitzer Prize-winning book. Frank McCourt shares his sometimes heartwarming, sometimes heartbreaking story of growing up poor, Irish, and Catholic in the Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir Angela's Ashes.
"A classic book *and* a classic audiobook"
Why we think it's a great listen: A performance so poignant, we gave Bronson Pinchot (yes, Balki from Perfect Strangers) our inaugural Narrator of the Year award.... In the monsoon season of 1968-69 at a fire support base called Matterhorn, located in the remote mountains of Vietnam, a young and ambitious Marine lieutenant wants to command a company to further his civilian political ambitions. But two people stand in his way.
Why we think it's a great listen: Some books are meant to be read; others are meant to be heard – Water for Elephants falls into the second group, and is one of the best examples we have of how a powerful performance enhances a great story.

"Happy addition to a difficult genre"
Why we think it's a great listen: When it comes to author/narrator pairings, nobody tops James Lee Burke and Will Patton in the Robicheaux thrillers. Beloved Burke hero Detective Dave Robicheaux here returns to New Iberia to solve a series of grisly murders. Seven young women in neighboring Jefferson Davis Parish have been brutally murdered. While the crimes have all the telltale signs of a serial killer, the death of Bernadette Latiolais, a high-school honor student, doesn't fit.
"Best Yet... Almost"
Why we think it's a great listen: It's a story that most people know, told here in an unforgettable way – an audio masterpiece that rivals the best thrillers, thanks to Capote genre-defining words and Brick's subtle but powerful characterizations. On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues.

"Epic story to be read by all!"
Why we think it's a great listen: It's easy to say that when it comes to sci-fi you either love it or you hate it. But with Ender's Game, it seems to be you either love it or you love it.... The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway for almost as long. Enter Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, the result of decades of genetic experimentation.
"6 titles in the series so far"
Why we think it's a great listen: A masterpiece like none other, Brooks' powerful performance of Haley's words has been known to leave listeners in tears. It begins with a birth in an African village in 1750, and ends two centuries later at a funeral in Arkansas. And in that time span, an unforgettable cast of men, women, and children come to life, many of them based on the people from Alex Haley's own family tree.
"Impressive! DO NOT WIKI THIS BOOK!"
Why we think it's a great listen: If you ever thought history was boring, David McCullough's performance of his fascinating book will change your mind.

"Amazing how little you know"
On November 22, 1963, three shots rang out in Dallas, President Kennedy died, and the world changed. What if you could change it back?

"Brilliant, insightful, intriguing."
As this book's title suggests, Norm Macdonald tells the story of his life - more or less - from his origins on a farm in the-back-of-beyond Canada and an epically disastrous appearance on Star Search to his account of auditioning for Lorne Michaels and his memorable run as the anchor of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live - until he was fired because a corporate executive didn't think he was funny. But Based on a True Story is much more than a memoir; it's the hilarious, inspired epic of Norm's life.

"Slow and steady"

"A Fun and Thrilling Ride"
It's the most dangerous case of Will Trent's career. He knows this from the moment he sets foot in the abandoned Atlanta warehouse where a body lies on the floor - the body of an ex-cop.

And, worst of all, the warehouse belongs to the city's biggest and most high-profile athlete - a local hero protected by the world's most expensive lawyers.
"Another winner from Karin Slaughter!"
A natural storyteller and raconteur in his own right - just listen to Paddle Your Own Canoe and Gumption - actor, comedian, carpenter, and all-around manly man Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation) brings his distinctive baritone and a fine-tuned comic versatility to Twain's writing. In a knockout performance, he doesn't so much as read Twain's words as he does rejoice in them, delighting in the hijinks of Tom - whom he lovingly refers to as a "great scam artist" and "true American hero".
"Adventures of a timeless classic"
The occasion was a big birthday. And it inspired two close friends to get together in Dharamsala for a talk about something very important to them. The friends were His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. The subject was joy. Both winners of the Nobel Prize, both great spiritual masters and moral leaders of our time, they are also known for being among the most infectiously happy people on the planet.

Einstein showed that the flow of time is affected by both velocity and gravity, yet he despaired at his failure to explain the meaning of now. Equally puzzling: Why does time flow? Some physicists have given up trying to understand and call the flow of time an illusion.

New officers, construction management and accreditation were some of the topics discussed during the Dorchester School District 2's first regular session meeting of the year.
The board started off the meeting with the election and appointment of new officers. Board member Lisa Tupper nominated Board Chair Fran Townsend for another term as chairman but the nomination received no second and died. Board member Charlie Stoudenmire then nominated Gail Hughes as chair; this was seconded and passed 5-1, with Stoudenmire, Barbara Crosby, Tanya Robinson, and Sam Clark voting in favor and Tupper voting against the nomination.
Stoudenmire was then nominated and elected as vice chair.
Hughes thanked the board for placing their trust in her for the position and praised Townsend's performance as chair.
"I would like to thank Fran for her work – you have done an awesome job as chairwoman and leave me some mighty big shoes to fill," Hughes said.
Hughes' first act as the new board chairwoman was to appoint Tanya Robinson as secretary.
The board heard a brief update from DD2 Director of Security Mike Turner.
Turner told the board that at the request of Superintendent Joe Pye, he and several other district officials have conducted inspections of every school in the district to check for any potential security issues.
The audit encompassed physical plant inspections as well as safety policies and procedure reviews, he said.
"We have a lot of buildings that were built during different eras," Turner said. "Older schools obviously will require more attention – but we also found quite a lot of things that we do very well. Principals and staff in our schools are very cognizant of safety and their responsibilities."
Many issues such as adding more lighting and better fencing to certain areas won't be difficult to do but they do need to be completed as soon as possible and priorities have been identified, he said.
Turner also said that area law enforcement agencies have been asked to inspect the schools in their jurisdictions to provide feedback from a law enforcement point of view.
Turner said he would inform the board of those findings when they become available.
Construction project management
On a motion from Charlie Stoudenmire with an amendment by Tanya Robinson, the board voted 5-2 to establish an organizational hierarchy to manage upcoming major construction projects.
Part of this plan involves forming a citizens oversight committee, which will be charged with monitoring all expenditures of revenues generated by the bond referendum that was passed in November.
In order to help the district effectively manage these large projects, the plan calls for the board to hire a Building Program Facilitator who will be over all the projects and who will be independent of both the contractors and the district. That person will report to a Project Review Team that will consist of two board members and superintendent Joe Pye, which will ensure that ultimate responsibility falls on the board and the district and not just one individual.
The construction projects will be broken down into three clusters, with cluster 1 consisting of the three new elementary school building projects, cluster 2 consisting of the new middle school of the arts, Career and Technical education wings, district offices, and aquatic center, and cluster 3 consisting of miscellaneous projects not specifically spelled out in the other two.
Each cluster will have a project manager who will be over the architects, contractors, and site managers.
Board member Frances Townsend raised a concern about whether or not the project review committee would be advisory or supervisory and if it is supervisory what are possible legal ramifications to individual board members. She suggested consulting a lawyer to help clear up those issues, which the board agreed to do.
The board approved the plan 5-2 with Hughes, Stoudenmire, Crosby, Clark, and Robinson voting in favor and Townsend and Tupper voting against the plan.
• The board honored 18 new National Board Certified Teachers as well as ten teachers who earned certification renewals.
• Dr. Larry Barnfield announced that Emily Enloe, a first year dance teacher at Oakbrook Middle School, is the recipient of the National Dance Education Association's Graduate Student Scholarship. She is the only instructor in the country to receive this scholarship this year.
• Jill Carway, owner of Four Green Fields Gallery and Gifts, a former arts student in the district, presented the district with a check for $750 to be used in the District's Fine Arts programs. Carway started this fundraiser last year as a way to give back to the district, she said.
"When I was an arts student here no one ever tried to discourage me from a career in the arts," she said. "On the contrary, they encouraged and nurtured it. So in that spirit we started this fundraiser and this is the second year we have been able to present a check."
• DD2 PIO Pat Raynor reported that Fort Dorchester Elementary School is one of three elementary schools statewide chosen as finalists for Palmetto's Finest; Ashley Ridge High School is the only high school in the state being considered for the award at the high school level. Final decisions from the state are expected in February, she said.
In addition, Eagles Nest Elementary School was named to the SC School Improvement Council's Honor Roll, Raynor told the board.
• The board heard an update on the accreditation process from Assistant Superintendent Sean Alford.

Public schools are on the sidelines as private schools pioneer the state's opportunity scholarship program in its first year, but public school officials aren't ruling out their participation in the program next year to offer students of low-achieving schools more education options.
Despite the state Legislature opening the program to public schools, the list of more than 700 schools accepting students on opportunity scholarships this year contains public schools from only four districts - none in Blair County.
"One reason we don't participate is that we don't want to overload classes," Bellwood-Antis Superintendent Brian Toth said.
Bellwood-Antis School District added a sixth kindergarten class this year, he said.
There also may not be a reason for high-achieving schools to join the program in areas where there are no low-achieving schools designated by the state on a basis of standardized test scores. In Blair County, there was just one low-achieving school and only a dozen students transferred to private schools.
Adding just a few students to classrooms on scholarships of $8,500, for regular education or $15,000 for special education could be problematic, Hollidaysburg Area School District Foundation Director Linda Russo said.
"It would wind up costing our district a lot of money if we receive just three or four students. We would have to add another teacher and that cost would be greater than the funding we receive from the program," Russo said.
But a superintendent of one of the districts receiving opportunity scholarship students is hoping to attract students from all over the state to enroll in the district's cyberschool, eliminating problems of class size and transportation.
"I'm a forward thinker, and I believe in helping kids," Superintendent Mary Todora of Neshannock Township School District in Lawrence County said.
But no students have applied to attend Neshannock schools this year. Todora said she and the school board don't know if the opportunity scholarship program will be a viable option as businesses have been slow to donate to back the scholarships.
Education foundations accepting eligible students report parents are seeking opportunity scholarships for their children, but have no money to back them.
Department of Community and Economic Development Spokesman Steve Kratz expects business donations for the second year of the program to pick up.
"We anticipated the program would take some time to get up and running," he said.
Legislature approved $50 million in tax credits in August and $40 million are still available to businesses in exchange for a donation to fund students' opportunity scholarships.
From the beginning, the Pennsylvania School Board Association was not in support of the scholarship program, PSBA spokesman Steve Robinson said.
"In the end, private schools are reimbursed by the state. It's a voucher system," he said.
But the association did not dispense information to members as to whether they should or shouldn't join, he said.
Robinson said public schools "are sitting out," this year because the law was passed in the beginning of July, too close to the start of school.
"Districts had to make a quick decision. There wasn't enough time to look fully at the program and consider the ramifications," he said. "I think there will be more districts considering it for next year."

That was it. The end. Kaput.
Awards season is unofficially over two days after it began. There will be a Screen Actors Guild Awards worth seeing Jan. 27 before the grand but now hopelessly maimed Oscar climax Feb. 24. But for dramatic power, nothing could possibly top Jodie Foster's acceptance of a Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award at Sunday night's Golden Globes.
It's the sort of moment that justifies forever that whole bastard TV genre, The Award Show.
To the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, as well as to everyone who, for years, lobbed spitballs at her because she refused to come out ceremonially, she said, "I already did my coming out a thousand years ago in the Stone Age. Those very quaint days when a fragile young girl would open up to her friends and family and co-workers, then gradually to everyone who knew her, everyone she actually met. But now, apparently, I'm told that every celebrity is to honor the details of their private life with a press conference, a fragrance and a prime-time reality show. You guys might be surprised but I'm not Honey Boo-Boo child. …
"If you have been a public figure from the time you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you, too, would value privacy above all else. I have given everything up there [on the screen] since I was 3 years old. That's reality show enough, don't you think?"
Personally, I do. But then as a critic for this newspaper I reviewed Jodie Foster's first movie in 1972, a little Disney animal thing with Michael Douglas called "Napoleon and Samantha" – as well as every major performance she has given on film since (not to mention the six films she has directed). And what I've been saying since she was a child is that there is never really a moment onscreen when you can catch Jodie Foster being fake. She just doesn't seem to know how, no matter how ridiculous and fourth-rate the circumstances.
What she did on Sunday night was bring more raw and profoundly moving truth to an award show than any Hollywood figure I've ever seen – so much so that she may have temporarily turned show business from trivial frippery into a profound subject, even among those yokels who have difficulty measuring human affairs in any way other than power and wealth.
Foster toyed with the idea of her entirely unnecessary coming out (a "secret" even more open than Rock Hudson's had always been) and then said she was nervous but serious about revealing that she's … single. (In other words, she and her partner, co-parents to two sons, had split.) And then she addressed her 84-year-old mother now suffering from dementia:
"Mom, I know you are inside those blue eyes somewhere. I know there are some things you can't understand from tonight. I love you, I love you, I love you. And I hope that if I say this three times, you will magically and perfectly enter your soul, and it will fill you with grace and the joy of knowing that you did good in this life. You're a great mom. Please take that with you when you're finally ready to go."
That's the Jodie Foster who has, remained as admirable as any public figure in our time despite crazy John Hinckley Jr.'s dedicating a presidential assassination attempt to her fame and despite all the spitballers scoffing that her privacy was ruining the cause.
And then, without clarifying it, as she ended one of the most moving public moments any celebrity has given us, this celebrity from babyhood seemed to say she wouldn't be acting anymore, but when she went public again would be carrying a different kind of "talking stick" (I'm guessing as a writer or even a poet, and not even a small indie filmmaker, a gig her beloved friend Mel Gibson wounded grievously when their impressively wacked-out film "The Beaver" was buried underneath public horror at Gibson's screaming bloody telephone rants that seem to have been intended as coffin nails for his already supine movie career).
Even without Foster's literally incomparable way of distinguishing the event, Sunday's Golden Globes show was on a formidable roll from the opening seconds when hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler proved to be even more wicked in their humor than legendary cockney bombardier Ricky Gervais (who, said Fey with typical smiling acid, "couldn't be here tonight because technically he is no longer in show business").
In the wisecrack of awards season, Poehler referred to the idiot Oscar snub of "Zero Dark Thirty" director Kathryn Bigelow by saying, "I haven't followed the controversy, but when it comes to torture, I trust the lady who spent three years married to James Cameron." The audience exploded in laughter. (First runner-up: Sacha Baron Cohen raising a snifter of booze-colored liquid to us all and talking about being in "Les Mis�rables": "Russell Crowe had four months of singing lessons." Long pause. "That was money well spent.")
Nor were the two deadly accurate snipers from "Saturday Night Live" and prime time the only ones to sling memorable lines around.
When Jennifer Lawrence won a Best Actress Golden Globe for "Silver Linings Playbook," she gloated, rather unappealingly, "I beat Meryl," but then redeemed herself 20 times over by thanking mogul and award show shaman Harvey Weinstein "for killing whoever you had to kill to get me up here today." (The degree, in fact, to which Weinstein's films "Silver Linings Playbook" and "Django Unchained" have brutally shoved around other, better 2012 films will, when the Hollywood histories are written, prove to be an amazing subject, if not one emblematic of the entire Hollywood year.)
Quentin Tarantino was suitably obnoxious accepting a writer's Golden Globe and expressing gratitude to friends who are discouraged from comment when he reads new scenes to them. Anne Hathaway was suitably graceful picking up a Best Supporting Actress (Comedy/Musical) Globe for "Les Mis�rables" and paying tribute to "Lincoln's" Sally Field for defeating typecasting and proving to the world that the former "Flying Nun" could morph into Norma Rae and Mama Gump.
It was all prime award show sass and sauce.
But the main course was Jodie Foster accepting a lifetime achievement award for keeping it astonishingly real and giving all of us more truth and reality than we probably deserved.
Any fool who didn't know the difference between reality and "reality television" before Sunday evening's Golden Globes, certainly knows it now.

Grievance Policy
ADA Grievance Policy
Students who are working with the disability advisor in the START Center, because of documented disability, have the responsibility to maintain contact with the center and to let their advisor know how they are doing in the classroom, whether the accommodation being used is providing the student with access, and if the professor is implementing the accommodation consistently and appropriately.
Should students experience difficulties related to their disability or accommodation, they are to inform the START Center disability advisor immediately so the advisor can assist in resolving the problem as it is occurring. Such early resolution is in the best interests of the students and the faculty.
If the student believes that the disability advisor has been unsuccessful in resolving issues, or if the student is experiencing difficulty with his or her disability advisor, the student's first step is to contact the ADAAA/504 coordinator: Jason Sweat, 801.832.2657. The coordinator will meet with the parties involved and attempt to resolve the issues.
