Sharing how I solved my PlayBook WIFI issue
Hi all, this post just to share how I finally managed my long lasting WIFI problem. I have a 16 gb PB always updated to the latest os, official or for developers. My PB connected to my WIFI just to disconnect seconds after.. And then reconnected.. And than disconnected and so on.. Very frustating! Then I realized I have 8 different WIFI near my home and read that in Italy most devices use channel 1 or 11 to broadcast.. I then changed settings of my home WIFI to channel 8.. And KABOOM!! No more WIFI disconnections.. No more WIFI issues..

Your message may help others and that is a good thing.
Other devices on the same channel that are in range of your wifi can and will cause issues. If you have a friend that has an android device have them load an app called Wi-Fi Analytics Tool by Amped Wireless, it is free on Google Play. It shows all the channels and how many devices are with in range of your device and the strength of all the devices in range also. I tried to convert the app but it does not work correcty after conversion. I tried to find a playbook app that does the same thing but have not come across one yet.
Check it out here at the play store.

Yes thanks for sharing. Your environment having 8 signals is pretty bad but I read another member on here having 13 wifi connections available in his home. YEESH!
Now I am thankful I have a measly 3 connections. THANKS to both of you!!! - 12-06-2012, 11:12 AM #5
I noticed that setting WiFi channel to 'Auto' rarely helps which seems odd given the access point should be actively scanning the channels to ensure a consistent connection. Happy to hear the OP found a resolution.
HOW does one change their wifi settings at home?
BB then, now, forever...yeah, I said it. - 12-06-2012, 11:51 AM #8
I use channel 7 and crank it up all the way. Screw the neighbors who I don't even know their names...
911 takes too long, a squeeze of the trigger will solve the problem...and I can save minutes...when seconds count...

Anybody have any other ideas? I live out in the sticks and use a rogers rocket hub for internet access. There are no other wifi networks detectable (closest neighbour is about 300 feet away). I have a 64gb and 16gb playbook and they both drop the wifi connection constantly to the point where its pretty much useless to browse the web. I have tried deleting the network config and re-entering it on both and changing the wifi channel. I work from home all day everyday and my laptop never loses the connection. It is at the point that I want to buy a new tablet, and it would not be a playbook.
- 12-06-2012, 05:51 PM #13bbecause it's bbetter
I noticed a few things, one is that PB reverts to auto detect, so i make sure to use saved access once it's registering. Once connected I use the network properties to see what the router is, if it's wireless-b/g I make sure that the PB is on single rather than dual band. And on my saved network list I drag my most commonly used to the top of the list.
Hope some of this helps!UsingCurve 8330 CDMA w/hybrid OS 5 for bridge. Waaaaaiting for BB10Black Z10 and 16GB PB. - 12-07-2012, 02:29 AM #16
Re: Sharing how I solved my PlayBook WIFI issue
If your laptop runs Win 7 and has a recent wifi card you can probably create a second hot spot using Connectify. I have run the BB Playbook and a Nexus 7 off this signal. I am using the free version but the pro version is $30. Download from the site and setup is easy.
Guest network on router
My router has a "guest network" feature - tried using that for the playbooks here - that worked, but initially the guest network would only use G (apparently something to do with the security key!?). This worked - more reliable but slow. The changing channels fix has improved wifi on everything here and seems to be working for the playbooks. In the process I got my guest network to use N as well. I'm still using the guest networks for the playbooks but wifi seems to be better and faster all round. The Android app suggested was excellent - interesting as well as useful.
In the UK, BT provides a wifi service for it's subscribers away from home - it might be worth checking what channel it uses in your area and setting your router to something different because it could be the strongest signal around and causing interference. - 12-07-2012, 04:28 AM #20
Re: Sharing how I solved my PlayBook WIFI issue
If you have never changed it in the past, there are lists of default passwords on the internet. Commonly they are blank username and password 'admin' for Linksys, many others are admin:admin, user:user, or admin:12345.
To revert to the default password, you will have to hold down the reset button for 30-120 seconds which will remove ALL customisation, including WiFi SSIDs and encryption.BBM Channels:

In my experience (in the UK) using channel 13 is great as hardly anyone ever goes there. Due to most wi-fi kit being US centric it usually defaults to 1 or 11.
But it is annoying that some gear just doesn't go as far as 13 so sometimes I get in a bit of kit to service that wont find it so I switch back to 1 (thats the one core channel of the three (1/6 and 11) that is the least used in my area).
However, I have found that channels 7/8 and 9 are not that great to use. I think those channels are the ones most affected by interference from DECT phones or microwave ovens in my area. - 12-07-2012, 05:00 AM #23BBM Channels:

Yeah thats more likely, I do know that quality of connection dropped quite a bit using the upper middle bands.
When I used the term DECT I used it to differentiate from mobile phones for the wireless phones we use at home. - 12-07-2012, 08:53 AM #25
The other BIG thing it will probably forget is the User ID and Password to log into your ISP. That info is usually entered into the Router's Settings, also. So, if you don't know those, find them out before going any further or you could lose access to your isp and the entire web!!!!!

All I hear about these days is apps. They're the newest digital currency, and if you've got a ton of them on your device, your cred goes way up in some circles. Of course, as with any new technology, only a fraction of the apps that are created are worthy of your time and attention - and hard-earned cash. We know this as consumers, so why is it that, as marketers, we forget all about it?
For my first ClickZ column, I want to take a step back and help marketers think about apps in a way that will take a brand forward. Tom Robbins wrote: "There are two kinds of people in this world: Those who believe there are two kinds of people in this world and those who are smart enough to know better." He was right, of course, but allow me to take the stand that there are only two kinds of apps.
How do these differ? It's pretty simple. For apps that intend to make money, the app itself is the end product. It might be part of a line of products or come from a company that makes other products, but it is a discrete item all by itself.
The second type, apps that market, are trying to get a consumer to do something else. That "something else" might vary: establish brand love, watch a TV show, buy a car…you get the idea.
My company deals almost exclusively with the second type. Apps, when appropriate, are a part of our overall marketing mix for a client and can be an extraordinarily valuable tool. The problem occurs when marketers confuse the two types of apps.
Honestly, I'm not sure what happens - but I'm pretty sure it goes something like this: the internal team or the agency comes up with an app idea as part of a mobile strategy. Somebody decides that the app is so good that they shouldn't give it away; the world is going to beat a path to their door to buy it. This fine app will become the new hot thing on phones. Forget about defraying the costs to build it, we're going to make big money on this baby!
Remember, the company already has products on which it has built the organization, so let's not lose sight of the goal. As marketers, we're trying to create more loyal, long-term consumers of and advocates for a set of products. The way we do that is by showing that:
Nowhere in that list is "the brand can sell you its marketing" - and when you try to do that, the results are predictable. In my opinion, even the successes fail to improve the brand.
For example, Kraft, one brand that has been lauded in this area, has also gotten significant backlash for charging $0.99 for its app - which then runs ads for Kraft products once it's installed. It's a fine piece of software, and although the statistics will never be published, imagine how much revenue the app has generated as a percentage of product sales. Then think how much more broadly Kraft's app would be distributed if it were free (and multiply that by five for Weber's $4.99 "On the Grill" app).
On the other hand, I have to give ABC a lot of credit; since being the first to bring full TV episodes to the Web in 2006 (disclosure: I led the effort on the agency side), it hasn't stopped innovating, and its iPad app is a great example of providing customers with something truly valuable (and being willing to spend time and money doing it).
"Advertising" is sometimes viewed as a dirty word in our business, but it doesn't have to be that way. Apps can be the best form of advertising, driving rich interaction with a brand, putting it top of mind, and providing a valuable reminder of the core product. Remember, these are investments, and the more people who experience your brand, the better these investments work.
So: kudos to those who are getting it right - and please feel free to share your stories about making people pay for their advertising. All perspectives welcome!

He leans against the doorway for a moment, stretching and yawning before he plods over to give me a quick goodbye kiss.
I tilt my face up towards him and tell him to have a good day.
"Oh, and don't forget your lunch," I call down the hallway. "I packed it for you last night."
Yup, I'm one of "those" wives.
The kind that packs her husband's lunch for him. Each and every day.
It never used to be this way. In fact, probably for the first three, maybe even four years of our marriage, I let my husband fend for himself in the world of lunch. Part of me clung to my admittedly feminist streak-let him make his own darn lunch, I thought. How hard is it anyways? It's not like anyone makes me lunch when I'm working!
Related: 7 things I wish I knew about men before I got married
For years, I would hide under the covers in our bedroom as he got ready for work, pretending to be asleep, and feeling a twinge of guilt when I heard the door finally slam shut behind him because I knew he, yet again, would go all day without eating.
For whatever reason, the man just couldn't-or wouldn't-make his own lunch. Not a breakfast eater since his childhood days, without a lunch he would come home starving, practically ready to gnaw off our kitchen counter and inhaling an entire dinner's worth of food before dinner.
I tried in vain to make it work.
I bought cutesy, snack-sized foods, perfect for taking on the go.
I bought him a super-cool lunchbox. (Which, apparently, was not that super cool. Did I mention he's a teacher? Kids are so cruel.)
No go.
Finally, finally, just within this past year, I decided it was time to bite the bullet and start packing my poor, dear husband a lunch.
And I can't believe what a difference it has made in our marriage.
Every night, after dinner I make a big show out of packing my husband's lunch. I ask him if he wants a peach or an apple. I pretend to be offended when he explains that he doesn't want a banana because the smell permeates into his sandwich. I roll my eyes when he requests his banana peppers to be dried and packed separately so they don't get all gross and nasty.
But the truth is, I've come to love packing my husband's lunch.
I love asking him at the end of the day, eagerly, as if I have prepared a 12-course feast, how his lunch (usually a ham sandwich or leftovers) was.
I love hearing how his students ask him, very seriously, in fact, if his wife is a gourmet chef.
But the truth is, I love packing his lunch because I've come to learn that is more than a plastic baggie full of "veggie" chips pretending to be healthy and a somewhat mushy sandwich, but a simple way…
To show my love.
It's such a small thing that takes a few minutes of my time and I can't believe I didn't do it earlier. It sounds crazy, but I really do believe that making his lunch has helped our marriage. I know he appreciates my efforts and I feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that he understands my small gesture for him.
Because with each granola bar I pack and each yogurt I lovingly place, I am saying, Thank you. I appreciate you.
My days of feeling like a crappy wife are over. Not because a good marriage is based on who-makes-lunch-for-who.
But because it's made up of the small things, like making your husband's lunch when you know he won't do it, that say,
I love you.
Even if I have to pack your sticken` peppers separately.

AT&T Park, San Francisco, California
SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Zito shook off the worst outing of his big league career to give the Giants another impressive effort from their starting rotation.
Buster Posey's first home run of the season made sure it held up.Zito and Chad Gaudin combined on a six-hitter and San Francisco beat the San Diego Padres 5-0 on Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.Zito (3-1) bounced back five days after getting shelled by the Milwaukee Brewers when he failed to make it out of the third inning.He allowed five hits in seven innings against the Padres, struck out four, walked one and did not give up run for the third time in four starts."If you let outings bleed into the next one, that's when things kind of go bad, so you just have to stick with your approach," Zito said after beating San Diego for the first time in nearly two years."I felt pretty good in my game and the results weren't there last (time). I felt pretty good today and the results were there. That's just the nature of the game."Zito's outing followed gems by San Francisco starters Madison Bumgarner and Tim Lincecum, and helped the Giants sweep the Padres in a series of three games or more for the first time since Sept. 12-14, 2011.San Diego, held scoreless for the last 21 innings, had opened its six-game trip by taking three straight from the Los Angeles Dodgers.Zito retired 13 of his final 16 batters before leaving to a standing ovation after fanning Will Venable to end the seventh.He had given up nine runs in 2 2/3 innings during Tuesday's 10-8 defeat at Milwaukee, ending his streak of 16 starts without a loss."Good for Z," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "It was a great job on Barry's part of bouncing back. You have to be resilient in this game. He had good command today and made his pitches."Gaudin allowed one hit over the final two innings to complete the Giants second straight shutout.San Diego has started 5-13 for the second straight season. The Padres didn't have an extra-base hit in the game and failed to get a runner to second base over the final seven innings."I didn't think it would turn out this way after our at-bats in L.A.," San Diego manager Bud Black said. "Bumgarner pitched a great game, Lincecum picked it up and Zito just carried it over."Posey's first home run of the season was just the 11th this year for the power-starved Giants. Before the two-out, two-run drive off Eric Stults (2-2) in the fifth, Hunter Pence, Pablo Sandoval and Brandon Crawford had accounted for all of San Francisco's homers.Angel Pagan put San Francisco ahead with a two-run double in the third, two innings after his heated discussion with plate umpire Bob Davidson. Pagan believed he had been hit on his back foot by an 0-2 pitch from Stults and argued with Davidson for several minutes, at one point repeatedly pointing his finger at the umpire while standing in the batter's box.Replays were inconclusive and San Francisco's leadoff hitter eventually grounded out. After his double knocked in Andres Torres and Crawford, Pagan made it 3-0 when he scored on Sandoval's single.Sandoval also reached on a two-out infield single in the fifth and scored on Posey's first regular-season home run since Oct. 2.Stults, who had won four of his previous six starts against the Giants, gave up all five runs and eight hits in seven innings. He walked none for the second time this season."I felt like I was making good pitches," Stults said. "Even with Crawford's (single), that wasn't a strike. Before you know it, it's first and third and I fall behind Pagan 3-0."The game was halted briefly in the sixth inning when Padres left fielder Kyle Blanks was injured while crashing into the wall chasing down Joaquin Arias' fly ball. Blanks fell to the ground and walked off the field with Black and a team trainer.Blanks left the game and received stitches over his left eyelid.Game notes
Padres OF Carlos Quentin has been working out at Petco Field while serving his eight-game suspension for charging Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke. ... LHP Clayton Richard, who was scratched from Saturday's game with flu-like symptoms, is scheduled to make his next start Tuesday. ... San Francisco RHP Ryan Vogelsong (1-1) pitches the series opener against Arizona on Monday. ... RHP Jason Marquis (1-1) starts for the Padres when they begin a six-game homestand against the Brewers on Monday.

I had bought a pair of the Contrast Brief about six months ago from a retail store in a city that I visit once a year. I loved them so much and that I'm glad that I tracked down this website to order more. I have a 34 waist and I find the medium fit nicely. They are snug but not at all uncomfortable. The cut of the brief shapes my basket nicely (hence the name of the brand, I assume). These are some sexy underwear.Was this helpful? Sign in to vote.

Gwinnett Daily Post
I am having an identity crisis. Identity crises are much more serious than mid-life crises. For the latter, you can buy a toupee or a convertible or visit a tanning salon. If you have an identity crisis, you tend to talk to yourself and people assume you are nuts. I have learned to get around that by putting a walnut in my ear. That way I can fool passersby into thinking I am a hot-shot business mogul talking to my investment advisor on one of those new-fangled cell phones about buying North Dakota. I wish I could say that helps, but all the walnut seems to do is attract squirrels who want to chew on my ear.
I am sorry to whine like this but I have just received a snippy note from a reader who has a Ph.D. (She has a Ph.D. and reads my column? Go figure.) She says she is waiting for me to give President Barack Obama credit for his quick response to the flooding in the Atlanta suburbs because "I know you're not a fan of the President (to put it mildly)." Ouch! She must assume that I am to the right of Glenn Beck or Glenn Miller, or whoever that guy is that talks so fast on television. I am loathe to argue with anyone who has more brainpower than I have socks, but I have not said anything negative about our president, as far as I can recall. In fact, I have lauded him for keeping President Peanut out of our hair and out of North Korea. This means that we will probably have to endure more bad poetry and handmade doorknobs coming out of the Carter Center, but that beats getting blown to smithereens by a bunch of Third-World punks who aren't sure who is running our country. Just as I had finished reeling from her blow to my delicate psyche, here comes an e-mail from a reader chastising me for continuing to pick on former President George W. Bush. The writer said he is getting tired of me doing that. Ouch again! When have I said ugly things about our former president? OK, maybe I did suggest that he just might not go into the pantheon of our greatest presidents like Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln. But I do believe with all my heart that he will easily surpass the legacy of Millard Fillmore, whose greatest claim to fame is that he was thought to have installed the first bathtub in the White House. Alas, he didn't. That was a hoax, which means Millard Fillmore didn't accomplish much while president if he couldn't even get a bathtub installed. (I don't want to get too far off the subject, but California was admitted to the union while Fillmore was president. Given a choice, I would rather have had the bathtub.) So, here is my dilemma: If I say that Barack Obama seems to think more taxes and bigger government will cure everything from global warming to carbuncles, and that he couldn't even do something simple like get the Olympic Games for Chicago even though he is the president of the United States and that Billy Payne got the Games for Atlanta and was just a real estate attorney, there are those among you who will accuse me of being a right-wing whacko and a secret agent for the Halliburton Company and Big Oil. On the other hand, if I say that Laura Bush should have been president and George W. Bush the First Man and that Barbara Bush is smarter than her whole family put together, I am sure to get letters saying I love Nancy Pelosi and that I think Obama's health care reform is the best thing to happen to us since Ray Charles first sang "Georgia on my Mind." I am so confused. I just don't know what to do. Until I can figure this mess out, I am going to continue to walk around with a walnut in my ear and act like I am buying North Dakota. At least the squirrels will love me. E-mail columnist Dick Yarbrough at firstname.lastname@example.com like this story

Day 1
Fly to Ponta Delgada, on Sao Miguel island, the largest and greenest island of the Azores archipelago.
Day 2
After breakfast we transfer to the airport for a short flight to Pico Island, where we transfer to Faial on a 30 minute ferry. Faial is also known as the Blue Island thanks to all the blue hydrangeas that decorate the houses, divide the fields and line the roadsides. We enjoy a guided tour around Horta; its marina, whose walls are covered with colourful paintings, is a primary stop for yachts crossing the Atlantic. After our lunch stop, we visit the Scrimshaw Museum and its impressive collection of engraved whales' teeth and bones. In the afternoon, we meet a local biologist, who will brief us about our whale watching activities over the week.
Day 3
Today we embark on our whale and dolphin watching tour between the Faial and Pico Islands. There are 80 species of whales and dolphins on the planet and 25 of them have been sighted off the coast of the Azores, with the most common being Sperm Whale, Bottlenose dolphin, Short-finned pilot whale; Atlantic spotted dolphin and the Blue Whale. During our excursion, we observe the behaviour of these cetaceans and learn more about their habitat with the help of the knowledgeable local experts on board. We should always respect their environment and therefore during times of feeding or resting times, we avoid any interference and maintain our distance. Please note this activity is completely dependent on sea conditions and if we cannot reschedule the tour, then an alternative visit to the vineyards of Pico Island will be offered.
Day 4
We enjoy a full day visiting the beautiful land and sea of Faial Island, which with its fascinating islets, unusual rock formations from volcanic activity, picturesque windmills and lush green pastures offers an incredible variety of landscapes. Along the coast, we have a superb mix of land and seabirds to observe in their natural habitat, such as Tern Pink and nests of Seagulls in the Capelinhos Volcano as well as Shearwater and Bat, which are endemic to the Azores. We return to Horta and gain more understanding thanks to a short briefing from the University of the Azores on the ecology and conservation of various species of seabirds. In the evening, we walk down to the coast to hear some spectacular sounds from the Shearwater. These are nocturnal seabirds who come to the coast simply to breed and on their night-time visits, they often give eerie contact calls as they nest in burrows and lay their single white egg.
Day 5
As Pico Island is only a short ferry trip from Horta, it is an excellent option for our free day. Due to its geological age, this island is considered the 'wildest' island in the Azores archipelago. With UNESCO declaring the exotic vineyards (that grow on rock) as a World Heritage Site, beaches that are called natural swimming pools and former whaling villages, there is certainly a completely different character for us to discover. For the bold and adventurous, perhaps heading back to sea and swimming with dolphins, sharks or manta rays is a more appealing option (for more information on this please see the 'optional excursions' section of the trip notes). There is also the opportunity to simply join on the zodiac boat and go snorkelling and note there is a biologist and skipper on board to ensure every precaution is taken to protect the dolphin's habitat. In the evening we take a flight back to Sao Miguel Island.
Day 6
There is some free time in the morning before heading out on our next adventure to explore the beauty of the island. Our 4WD excursion takes us through ravines and near volcano craters where we enjoy the wonderful landscape around Sete Cidades Volcano, including the Green and Blue Lakes. From Vista do Rei, we are rewarded with breath taking views of tranquil lakes, blue hydrangeas bordering the crater rim that contrast with the steep sides of the crater. We then venture into this extinct volcano to visit the pretty village of Sete Cidades with its traditional architecture and verdant pastures. An opportunity not to be missed is to swim in the warm waters of Ferraria or Caldeira Velha (pool formed from a geyser). Our final treat is the Fire Lake in Barrosa Mountain, an enormous lake with jutting peninsulas and white sand beaches which is the perfect place to relax at the end of the day.
Day 7
Our final day offers another chance to spot some wonderful whales and dolphins on our boat journey down to the south coast of the island. We arrive in Ribeira Quente, a fisherman's village and transfer to Furnas Valley where we enjoy a spectacular meal of the famous Cozido das Caldeiras (style of cooking that buries sealed pots in the baking earth). After lunch, we take in the sights of romantic lakes, winding pathways, exotic flowers and thermal waters in Park Terra Nostra, before continuing onto the hot springs. One of the most spectacular forms of volcanic activity we see here are fumaroles, which spout boiling water and medicinal mud.
Day 8
After breakfast, we transfer to the airport for our flight to London.

Four Tricks for Surviving Meals on the Road
September 6, 2012
by Matt Villano
© Flickr user Santee, CC Licensed.
Let's face it: Even if your kids are good kids, dining out with the brood can be stressful, tiring and, at times, a miserable experience. They might toss food. They might require relatively constant stimulation. They might fail to handle unforeseen delays without initiating the launch sequence for global thermonuclear war.
In most cases, traveling only compounds these problems. Any number of variables such as foreign environment, jetlag and unfamiliar menus could turn a perfectly nice meal into a debacle faster than you can say, "Check please."
With this in mind—and at the request of a faithful reader—I've done some homework and pulled together four foolproof tricks for surviving meals on the road.
Use the tools you've got
Tables at some restaurants come standard with trays of sugar packets. Others are adorned with bowls of coffee creamers. Still others feature trinkets such as napkin rings, tiny vases, and candles. Instead of telling your kids these items are off-limits, make them the centerpiece of table-time, green-lighting kids to play away. No, your server probably won't appreciate this move. But it could buy you time for an appetizer and dessert (which ultimately would net the aforementioned server a bigger tip anyway).
Pack a travel table bag
You can't rely on restaurant tables to have distractions, so it's important that you bring your own just in case. In our family, we pack a special travel table bag before every meal. Most of the time, we stuff it with crayons, blank paper, stickers and mini Etch-a-Sketch pads. Depending on where we're visiting, we might add a cultural element, too: A book, or a particularly detailed paper map. (It's worth noting that we don't pack technology; we're of the mindset that device-use at the table is disrespectful to other diners.)
Bring the food to life
Remember in "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure," when Pee-Wee Herman makes an ordinary breakfast of pancakes, strawberries and bacon into the talking Mr. Breakfast? On the road, this strategy works wonders. Not only will the kids love it if you turn their meals into characters, but they'll also like engaging with sassy silverware, too. On our journeys—no matter where in the world we go—forks are notoriously fresh. It keeps our girls laughing (and also teaches equality in a roundabout way).
Make it storytime
That (often interminable) period of time between ordering and chowing down always goes faster when you're telling stories. In many families, the parents are the ones who tell the stories, grabbing the proverbial "spotlight" like one might do at a playgroup. In our family, on recent trips we've included our toddler as one of the storytellers, giving her the (rarely brief) opportunity to tell us a fanciful tale for a change.
The bottom line: Fight the urge to emphasize food over fuel, and do what you must to get through the meal without incident. New experiences are important while traveling as a family. Meal time doesn't necessarily have to be one of them.
Did I forget to include something awesome? What are your secrets to surviving road meals while traveling with your kids? Please leave a comment.

'Letters from the Flame': 'Lost' about 'Lighthouse'? I have your answers
Ryan here, back with answers to your burning questions about "Lost." Quick programming note: if you missed the latest "Orientation: Ryan Station" podcast, make sure to click here and listen. You can even subscribe to it on iTunes! I know. We've boldly gone where tens of thousands have gone before.
In the time since "Lighthouse" aired, I've started to see certain camps get entrenched online, much in the way that certain camps are getting entrenched on the Island. In fact, we're getting not into Season 1 territory so much as Season 4 territory on the Island. In Season 4, we had Team Locke and Team Shephard. Now? Team Jacob and Team Smokey. Sure, Smokey had to infect and corrupt people to join his side, but all's fair in love, war, and loopholes.
So let's all remember to play nice as the next few weeks roll out. Onto your questions!
Who is "Wallace"? It was the name next to the number 108. Someone already on the island? The person Jacob referred to that needed to find the island? Someone we already know? David Wallace? Richard Alpert Wallace? Justin Wallace? I'm lost.
While the idea that Michael Scott's old boss on "The Office" is a candidate makes me giggle tremendously, I think the answer to the question is, "No one important." Having Hurley turn the compass to 108 was a fake-out for both him and the audience. We're trained to view a number like 108 as paramount in the "Lost" universe, and I think Darlton used that information against us in order to distract from the importance of the mission. The entire point of the mission was 1) to get Hurley/Jack away from the Temple before Smocke attacks, and 2) give Jack another push to realize his importance. The Artist Formerly Known as Wallace is a red herring. Or, he's Braveheart. One of the two.
Ryan: I find it odd that Jacob only seems to appear and speak to Hurley. Especially when Dogan questioned Hurley and Jacob only appeared to Hurley. It seemed almost as if Jacob is trying to get Hurley to assert himself and by appearing only to him will Hurley be able to be more assertive and more confident...what do you think? I mean out of all the people he could communicate with...why is Hurley the Man?
On a purely mechnical level, having Hurley interact with the maybe-god Jacob punctures the potential pomposity of these interactions. (If only someone could puncture MY pomposity after constructing that sentence.) Look: how many times have we seen "human interacts with deity" in dramas, only to see these interactions stilted, grave, and overall boring as hell? "Dead Like Me" is an exception to the rule, but a lot of times shows refuse to have fun with these types of pairings. So I dig a laconic god ambling about with the show's on-screen proxy waxing both philosophical and amusingly on my television. This is 1000x better than Charles Heston interacting with a burning bush, I tell you.
But on a dramatic level, Hurley's the most trustworthy person on the Island. Others may be more loyal to Jacob's cause, but Jacob trusts Hurley to do the right thing more than anyone else. The Others might worship Jacob, but that means they place him on a pedestal. I'm not sure Jacob is the important player here. If Jacob and The Man in Black were indeed all-powerful, then they wouldn't need all these people to achieve their endgame. And since Hurley treats Jacob like a person, not a god, he's an ideal person with whom the latter can communicate.
Do you think Jacob's manipulation of Jack means that Jack is "the" candidate?
My sense of the series of candidates is that they were not selected to do what The Man in Black claims they are supposed to do. Just as Jacob is keeping Jack's true purpose from him, he's kept the true nature of his search hidden from The Man in Black. Since TMiB is operating under a false premise (the three choices laid out to Sawyer), he can't possibly know how to defeat his nemesis. Do I know what this true purpose is? No. But Jacob thinks one of these final candidates does.
With the word "candidate" popping up more and more, does one tend to look at the island conflict not as a "war", but as a long, drawn-out, selection process? And has UnLocke found a way to insert himself into the process?
Brian of the North
I'm not sure Unlocke/Smocke/The Lockeness Monster has inserted himself into the process so much as found a way to end the continuous cycle. But I like your use of the word "war," since it reminds me to bring up a potentially key scene from Season 5. IN "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham," Widmore warns Locke, "[T]here's a war coming, John. And if you're not back on the Island when that happens, the wrong side is going to win." The $64,000 question: did Widmore knowingly send Locke back at the behest of The Man in Black or Jacob? Because one of those two had to give him his marching orders. Answering that is like answering "Who staged the Oceanic 815 crash at the bottom of the Sunda Trench?" during Season 4. You've got two equally plausible scenarios that can't be answered definitely at this point. Either The Man in Black told Widmore to send him back to create the loophole, or Jacob WANTED the loophole to be broken in order to make the final leap of progress.
As people have pointed out, the Tic-Tac-Toe game almost always ends in a tie. Someone was ready for the tie to be broken. Hell, I bet BOTH Jacob and The Man in Black were ready. Game on, people.
Ryan, it bugs the bejacob out of me that the timelines aren't concurrent. Seems that if Jack is indeed making some sort of connection with his "other" self, shouldn't it be 2007 in the alt-timeline as well? Is there any reason for this, other than the writers needing to fool us into thinking that the "LA X" flight 815 was in fact the new reality?
When the producers use "sideways" to describe the new timeline, and yet put it three years behind the on-Island action, yes, it can get confusing. Originally, many thought having Oceanic 815 land would be an exercise to show exactly what you describe: what would have happened afterward. But clearly, events BEFORE Oceanic 815 landed also changed: in some ways subtly, in some ways radical. But I think it's a bit unfair to discuss the ways that Sideways versions of people SHOULD interact with their Island selves. It's a fictional construction created by the writers: there's no "should" here, only what is. They interact in a specific way, and as long as that way stays consistent and holds up in hindsight once revealed, well, that's fine by me.
And here we're getting into THE hot topic lately on this sight: is the sideways timeline an epilogue? Rick Porter and I have a LOT to say about this in our upcoming "Lost" debate, and I discuss the issue in my next podcast, but let's answer a few questions about that now as well.
Do you think Jacob realized, either before his death or during it, that his efforts to enlist people into his plan to advance humanity to the next step has actually contributed to it's continued corruption, much like how the Man in Black sees it? I only ask because all season we're seeing a world that turned out differently, in many cases what appears to be free from the Island's (and Jacob's) influence, and that's on top of the whole free will vibe Jacob's been tossing around in his appearances thus far.
Other Sean
All depends on how you view the sideways timeline's relationship to the Island activity. If you're a fan of the epilogue there, then yes, that timeline is "free" from the Island, even though there are remnants of that other life clinging about (Claire downloading "Aaron" from said previous timeline as an example). However, if you think that the timeline was created as a direct result of Juliet's actions at the end of Season 5, then the sideways timeline is infinitely more influenced by the Island than the Island timeline itself. It's the freakin' baby of the Island, really, birthed in the white light of Season 5's finale.
So, my perception of last season's finale was that they shouldn't have detonated the bomb. That doing so would erase all of the progress that they had made. That they'd be going back to lives without purpose.
However, we're seeing a multitude of happy endings in the sideways timeline. Why do you think this is?
That perception is key, because that's what's fusing the various camps when viewing the sideways timeline. Had they called it the "Mirrorverse," maybe there would be less confusion. Then again, maybe not. At the heart of views concerning the alternate timeline are personal perceptions about what function it's supposed to serve. Perception can sometimes be wrong, but at this stage in the game, you have two overarching ways to look at what's going over there.
1) Due to Juliet's actions at the end of Season 5, two timelines were created. The second timeline has an entire history built into it, but we're only catching up in September 2004. This timeline is intimately related to the Island timeline, with both being viable realities that will impact one another through glances, interactions, physical items, and moral choices. This interaction is not unidirectional, but rather passes "energy" (for lack of a better word) between the timelines in order to come to a singular ending.
2) Juliet's actions did nothing except send the heroes 30 years into the future. The sideways timeline is the epilogue of the show, the result of whatever denouement happens at season's end on the Island. When all is said and done, we can look back on every flashsideways as the culmination/reward/final life of those that struggled for so long on the Island. In this construction, the sideways timeline is the life they should have lived all along.
Both are oversimplifications. Necessarily so, and just as I talked about before with Widmore's "war," both are viable at this point...depending on your perception. Because how you view the epilogue speaks a lot about the type of ending you want the show to have. Let's take a specific example from "Lighthouse": Jack making peace with his son David after the latter's recital. If you're a fan of Example #1 above, then that interaction will get passed to Island Jack as he stares across the water, looking for answers before his big confrontation with some version of his father on the Island. If you're a fan of Example #2, then Jack's breakthrough with his son directly ties into the experiences he will have after staring out at the ocean and accomplishing whatever task he has yet to do in order to land in the sideways timeline.
Both are perfectly valid perceptions at this time. Here's my biggest problem: only one viewpoint will ultimately be right. Normally, creating multiple perceptions in the audience's mind is a good thing for a mystery show to engender. But we're talking about much more than after-the-fact bragging rights (which I always hate, since it essentially amounts to bragging that you picked the right door in "Let's Make a Deal"), it's a concern. Because being wrong might aversely affect certain fans perceptions of the show as a whole. The example above says a lot about the type of person you are, so having your perception proved wrong might be construed on some level as a condemnation of you as a viewer, not just your theory.
Maybe I'm overworried here. I hope that's the case. Wouldn't be the first time, wouldn't be the last. Epilogue people know I am not in their camp. But I want them to know I am on their side. That side? Being a "Lost" fan. Being part of a community here that welcomes debate and hates attacks. Being part of a discussion that uses the show as a base to better understand both the show and the world around us. As Smocke told Sawyer last week, "You're so close. It would be such a shame to turn back now."

The worst thing that could happen for "LOST" from my perspective is to have it end with the feeling that we have already seen the ending (I guess this is the epilogue theory you are talking about).
If the show were to end leaving me feeling that in order to fully appreciate it, I HAVE to re-watch the entire season of flash sideways I will be resentful. That feels false to me or in other words "Go buy the DVDs now and re-watch the series".
I want it to end so that I WANT to re-watch it because it was so good. So far, I am not getting the "so good" part from the flash sideways parts of the story.
Excellent essay, Ryan. You really said it like it is.
Frankly, though, I'm still hoping for a third alternative than none of us has thought of yet, since I'm not particularly happy with either scenario. It's just that the Epilogue theory seems more likely to me.
In part because it seems so much simpler (although perhaps the Occum's razor test shouldn't be applied to fiction).
But more important, the epilogue theory also seems less contrived to me, as I tend to look at a story from the point of view of the characters in the story, not the audience's perspective.
And it seems the number one thing that bothers people about the epilogue theory (as far as I can tell) is how contrived it is from our (the audience's) perspective (the scenes being spliced throughout the season rather than taking place at or near the end of the season).
I am still concerned with last year's flash to 1974-77 and in the words of Jacob, "Help Me!"
In my opinion, because Miles watched Pierre read to baby Miles this equaled 2 Miles existing in the SAME TIME(74-77). Therefore, it is only reasonable to believe that there were also 2 Kates, 2 Jacks, 2 Hurley's, etc. existing at the SAME TIME. (Albeit they were little kids living in the USA)
Following "LA X", I reasoned that Juliet detonated Jughead but it didn't produce the result our Losties wanted, which was basically to negate/sacrifice their '77 Island lives, die and let their '77 off Island selves grow up and never crash 815. However, Jughead just flashed the '77 Island Losties back to 2007 on Island while their second selves were still living on the mainland.
When the sideways timeline was revealed, I assumed this 2004 sideways was naturally just the story of what happened to those 2nd incarnations of Losties and we were again watching the 2 exist at the SAME TIME (albeit 3 years apart) and to me this made sense until……..
I realized Sun never flashed to '74. This would mean there was only 1 little girl Sun in existence in '74 off Island that grew up, met Jin, and crashed on the Island and stayed there. So, how could this one Sun be both on the Island in '07 and in LA in '04?? Similarly, Ben never flashed but now he is with Sun on Island in '07 and teaching History in '04. This needs more analysis.
In conclusion, if this '04 sideways story is an epilogue (which I'm not sold on yet), what happens to the second on Island Miles, Jack, Kate, etc? I can only guess they will flash to the past again pre 2004 and sink the Island and die/drown as they intended to do in the Incident. However, Sun is still a variable because she can't die Pre '04 and exist off Island post Sept. 2004.
Am I the only one that finds this confusing?
But I can accept that contrivance since it (as with the S4/S5 narrative jumps) is the fault of the story-teller... not the story.
DCMEADS -- Once again you posted while I was writing and I didn't refresh first. Since nobody else will probably be online until they get to work tomorrow (!), in honor of Ben I'll take a quick stab at the heart of your questions.
I think you are comparing apples and oranges. All of the S4/S5 timeline stuff, wherein Miles saw himself and Locke could have walked over and seen himself looking at the hatch light, are a fundamentally different order of things than the current season.
In S4/S5, we were dealing with fairly normal stuff -- conventional time travel, where naturally you can theoretically run into yourself if you happen to visit where you are during that time period.
But to say there were "two" of such and such person is no more valid than it is to say there are two of any of us, simply because we existed in the past. Every minute (or year) that, say, Miles spent looking at his younger self meant that he wasn't spending those minutes (or years) during the time period he would normally be in.
So he didn't get something for nothing -- there were never two of him... it's just that he existed during one period of time twice BUT NOT AT ALL for the exact same amount of time during the time period in which he would normally exist.
Whereas in the current season we are apparently (unless the epilogue theory is one hundred percent true and thus we're simply seeing the end of the story spliced into the current story) dealing with something really strange going on that we don't have enough info yet to understand the rules of.
I may be totally mis-understanding your question, but at this late hour that's the best I can do. (Gotta get to bed. 'Night!)
If the sideways story is an epilogue then the series should end with Jack looking out the window on the plane, right? So that we the audience would be left to decide if they landed in LA or on the island? I am undecided as to what is what but at this point, I might not mind an ambiguous ending.
I hope the epilogue theory isn't true, but it's the only one that really makes sense to me at this point.
I'm totally with you, Ryan. We may disagree on what we think we're watching regarding the flash-sideways, but for me it's not about being right; it's just about placing my flagpole in the epilogue camp because I'm really enjoying that theory. And I'm always very careful to say things like "if this theory is correct" and "I could be completely wrong" just to make sure no one thinks I'm trying to tout what I think as the "right" answer. I'm still completely on your side as a "LOST" fan.
If the show then went and burned my flag and beat me around the head with the pole, the very last thing I'd feel is disappointment or some kind of slight against me personally. Quite the contrary, I'd be over the moon to have yet another well thought out theory completely turned on its head and trumped once again by the writers. That's a big reason why I love this show!
Great post, Ryan! I just want to add to your answer to the 2nd question (the Hurley-Jacob interaction)...
I think another reason Hurley is the only one who can see and speak to Jacob is because he can communicate with the dead. We've seen this a number of times OFF-island in his Santa Rosa hangout when Charlie visits him, when he's playing chess with Eko, and if I remember correctly even Walt comes to say hi.
The way I figure it - the writers set this up for us so there would be less questioning (i.e. why can only Hurley see Jacob...well, because Hurley is the only one on the island with that power, much like Miles' power to speak to the dead).
Just my two pennies worth. Keep up the informative and entertaining writing!
@DC Meads - I still haven't wrapped my bean around the ramifications of someone like Miles occupying the same space as their former (or future) selves, but that makes for some "out there" possibilities. I agree the Sun factor throws it off, but my inner geek would love to see some of these characters come face-to-face with THEMSELVES at some point. "Strange things are afoot at the Circle-C..."
@Nick - I agree with you that the reason Hurley is Jacob's mouthpiece is his ability to see and hear the dead. Jacob himself even alluded to this in the cab with him in the S5 finale: "What if your ability is a blessing and not a curse?"
Alright... now DC Meads' "Two Jacks Theory" - or whatever you want to call it - has been dancing on my brain with cleats. Here's another quasi-theory that I'm just gonna blurt out because it just would be cool to behold...
They've given us so many visual and literary references to mirrors - from "Through The Looking Glass" (and a lot of other Alice in Wonderland nods), to the physical presence of mirrors in the scenes where our "alt-timeline" characters are seemingly affected by their "other" selves. We also know that Darlton have a deep affinity for The Dark Tower series... so what if the mirrors in Lost actually serve as portals between the two realities, a-la' the doors in The Dark Tower? I keep wondering what would happen if Jack reached out and touched the mirror in his bathroom after "discovering" the appendix scar? Tell me it wouldn't be a killer scene to have someone actually tumble down the metaphorical rabbit hole after being sucking into a frakking mirror! What if THAT'S the way these two realities are eventually tied together? Talk about a "Mirrorverse!"
I'm hoping someone will thoroughly perforate this admittedly goofy theory so I can get it out of my mind, lest I devolve into a quivering mass of bad fan fiction...

Chevy adds GogoLink navigation to list of MyLink apps
Pandora has become the app most widely integrated with cars, but while customized streaming-music channels are nice, navigation is much more useful. Chevy obliges by adding the GogoLink navigation app to its MyLink connectivity system.
GogoLink will be available late this year in Chevy Sonic and Spark models equipped with the MyLink option. Including it in these cars lets Chevy offer navigation at the bottom of its model lineup.… Read more

This is another great BC Provincial Park with very easy access from Highway 1, the Trans-Canada highway. It is set back a bit from the highway, so traffic noise is not bad, particularly if you choose a site farther back in the park. It is nice and dark at night, which we love. There are no hookups, but there are water taps at the dump station (on your left as you come into the park) and throughout the campground. The taps do have threads, so you can fill your tank. The dump station use is an extra $5.00, pretty much on the honor system. Although the campground is fairly heavily wooded, we were able to find a site with satellite access. Our Verizon phone had no signal. The campground was immaculate, the sites were all raked and the fire pits were clean. There did not seem to be any firewood for sale when we were there, but it looks like there are bins were firewood may be kept at times. There are trails, which we did not check out. There is a nice picnic area across the road with views of the Frasier River. We would definitely stay there again. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Beautiful wooded provincial park overlooking the Fraser Canyon. Long sites, tho not so level as it sits on a mountainside. Dry camping, tho water taps in the park. Sanitary dump listed, tho we didn't try it and don't really know if they have one. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

A terrific park right off the highway about five miles north of Lytton. Almost all sites are back-ins, with a few small pull-out sites. Lots of pine trees. In Site 31 we had both shade and access to the Dish Network satellite. Most of the sites are large and level enough for the largest RVs. There are trails of varying degrees of challenge in the park. The dump station fee is not included in the $17CN camping fee. It costs $2 and requires either a Toonie or two Loonies. We had no Canadian coins left, so we had to skip dumping. Postal code: V0K 1Z0 We camped here in a Motorhome.

The Student Prexy Speaks By Eugene Linton The Eastern VOL. 34 MADISON, SOUTH DAKOTA, JANUARY 22, 1954 NO. 5 There are possibilities of some "hot" Student Senate meetings in the near future. At one of our recent meetings. I presented a proposed constitution to the Senate which I had worked on over the holidays. I have already voiced the opinion, several times, that we definitely need a "new" constitution, one which is flexible and workable. As it now stands, we have a Student Senate Constitution. The constitution which I have proposed is a Student Association Constitution. In other words, our present constitution provides for a body of eleven members, while the proposed Student Association Constitution would provide for the entire student body. We plan to study the proposed constitution, article by article, in our regular Senate meetings. When the Senate feels that it has a favorable document, the constitution will be presented to the student body to vote upon adoption. * * * The Assembly Committee and the Student Senate are bringing the Augustana Players, Sioux Falls, to our campus on the evening of February 5. The group will present the ever-popular Shakespearean comedy, "As You Like It," in a special assembly program at 8 o'clock p.m. Students and faculty will be admitted on their activity tickets. Others are invited to attend at the cost of $1.00 for adults and $.60 for high school students and children. I hope that many of you will plan to stay for this Friday evening program. Why not invite your parents and friends and then go home with them after the performance? * * * We are very happy to have Dr. June Emry back with us. Miss Emry was our Student Senate sponsor until she became ill. S. K. Lotspeich was then appointed to take the place of Miss Emry on our Senate, and he will continue to serve. WELCOME BACK, MISS EMRY! New Books in Library Recent additions to the library announced by the librarian are as follows: Najafi, Persia Is My Heart; Life's Picture History of World War II; Park, The White Man's Peace; Miller, Introduction to Historical Geology; Thomas, Abraham Lincoln; Davies, Daily Life of Early Christians; Ross, Speak With Ease; Auer, Handbook for Discussion Leaders; Merivale, Furnishing the Small Home; Johnson, Educaation and the Cultural Crisis; Lindgren, Art of Human Relations; Cartwright, Group Dynamics; Wecter, Age of the Great Depression; Geise, Man and the Western World; Rubinstein, Health, Happiness, and Hormones; Lowenfeld, Creative and Mental Growth; Erickson, Practical Handbook for School Counselors; Jefferson, Memoirs of a Monticello Slave; Landman, Profile of China; and Farrell, Peace in Their Time. No announcement of fiction accessions has been made, but an effort will be made to have these included on lists in the future. Many staff members and students are interested in learning of new novels, short stories, biographies, autobiographies, and poetry that are available. Can a man be versatile enough to be a champion boxer and the top contender for the title of "Miss Mistletoe." STAFF AND STUDENTS ENJOY VACATION TRIPS Most of the students spent the Christmas vacation at home with their families. Sharon Beck and Georgie Stroup traveled the farthest, to Seattle, Washington, and Chicago, respectively, to be at home for Christmas. While in Chicago, Georgie also had the privilege of seeing a cinerama picture at the Palace Theater there. Other students traveling during the holidays included Joyce Harter and Kay Tyrrell. Joyce traveled to Iowa to visit relatives, while Kay made a flying trip to Texas and returned wearing six guns and a ten-gallon hat and sporting a husband. Eugene Linton also did some traveling for the Madison Daily Leader. He journeyed over 2,000 miles in eastern South Dakota, but of course, it was with the company's car. Dean Visits Arkansas Perhaps one of the most interesting vacations was spent by Miss Mary Belle George, Dean of Women. She returned to Arkansas where she visited at her sister's home and to a climate where she could wear a light suit again. Upon returning to South Dakota, Miss George saw students going back to school after the holidays and also had the opportunity to come back on a train carrying some of the Boys' Town boys. Mr. and Mrs. R. A. Williams spent four days of the vacation in Bellmond, Ia., visiting with his sister and other relatives. They also visited with Mr. Williams' 91- year-old-mother, who was in the hospital with a broken hip. Miss Nelson Flies South Miss Bernice Nelson flew to Durham, N. C, to see her sister, and spent some time in Minneapolis and Washington, D. C, between plane flights. The two things that she enjoyed most during her seven-day vacation, she said, were a visit to the planetarium at Raleigh, N. C" where she attended a lecture entitled "The Sky As It Was The Night Christ Was Born," and the nine baby bluebirds that she saw from the kitchen window. Miss Nelson said hers was a strange, but pleasant Christmas where the grass was green and the pansies were blooming on the porch. Miss Dorney Goes to Indiana Miss Genevieve Dorney, enroute to South Bend, Ind., stopped at Sioux Falls to attend "South Pacific." While at South Bend, she visited with her niece and family, who returned with her to Chicago, where they attended "An Evening with Beatrice Lillie," a prominent English comedian, at the Blackstone Theater. They also saw Eddie Bracken in "The Seven Year Itch." Before leaving Chicago, she saw a memorial exhibit at the Art Institute of Chicago in honor of the late Marin, eminent world painter. Miss Leota Van Ornum drove to Rushford, Minn., to spend Christmas with her sister and family, and then went to Wisconsin Rapids, Wis., where she celebrated New Year's with her brother. Work to Begin On Laundry Dr. Lowry's Office To Be Remodeled Work on a new laundry in the girls' dorm will start soon. The old laundry will be completely torn out. A new electric washing machine, gas dryer, spin dryer, and laundry tubs will be put in. The boys' dining room will be made five feet larger, which will make the laundry five feet smaller. The renovation may also include a snack bar which will extend into the tower room. Dr. Lowry's office will also have some remodeling done. The work will be done by the Henkle Construction company. Last week the dorm received new wardrobes. The girls who are in double rooms will now have two wardrobes instead of only one. In East Wing some painting has been done downstairs near the bookstore. Announcements are now posted outside of the lounge instead of at the top of the stairs in East Wing. The dorm has new aluminum storm windows and screens combined on the north and west sides of the building. Trojan Work Getting Ahead Staff Complete; Contract Signed The work on the 1954 Trojan yearbook is progressing steadily. Recently the Trojan Council selected the remainder of the staff. The complete Trojan staff, now selected, is as follows: Co- Editors—Eugene Linton and LeMar Nelson; Assistant Editors- lone Slemmen and Harlan Stensaas; Business Managers—Donna Rogers and Jack Funston; and Circulation Manager—Glen Jensen. This group constitutes the Trojan Council. Miss Lois M. Drake is adviser.

Art Editors include: Bob Thurow, Marilyn Solem, Carol Everson, and Andy Nelson. Many of the dates for individual and organization pictures have already been set. Those that have not, will be set in the near future. The Trojan Council has already met with Norrel Rogness, representative from Midwest- Beach Co., Sioux Falls, to select the grade of paper to be used, the cover for the yearbook, and to sign the contract. The printer's deadline for the yearbook has tentatively been set for the first part of March. This will insure delivery of the yearbooks in May.

Marilyn Alendal Mistletoe Queen Crowned at Dec. 17 Christmas Party The title of "Miss Mistletoe of 1953" was given to Miss Marilyn Alendal by popular vote at a Christmas party at General Beadle College on Dec. 17. Miss Alendal was presented with a carnation corsage by Eugene Linton, president of the Student Senate. Snowflakes and mistletoe were suspended from overhead in the college gym. A giant Christmas tree held the center of attraction. Cut-outs of Santa Claus in a sleigh pulled by reindeer were suspended before a blue crepe-paper sky filled with stars. "The Alley Cats", the college dance band, played in front of a red and green background with large candlesticks which were illuminated with light bulbs. Pine bough trimmings decorated either side of the stage. The punch bowl was set off by a candy house, angel hair, and a lace tablecloth, The high-lights of the evening were naming of "Miss Mistletoe" and a reading by LeMar Nelson, "G-I Blues." Glen Jensen, sophomore class president, was in general charge of the event, the dance was sponsored by the sophomore class. The college art department, directed by Miss Genevieve Dorney, constructed the decorations. The proceeds from the dance will help finance the 1953-54 yearbook. Christian Union members are going to begin holding round table discussions at their meetings as soon as the new topic books arrive. They hold weekly meetings every Thursday evening in the East Hall parlors. Cast for Play Is Announced William's "Glass Menagerie" Chosen The cast for a major production, "The Glass Menagerie," has been chosen. The play will probably be presented in February. The four members of the cast are: Joanne Luken, as Amanda, the mother; Donald Snyder, as Tom, Amanda's son; Kathleen Lang, as Laura, Amanda's daughter; and Virgil Hoyer, as Jim, the gentleman caller. Each member of the cast has had former experience in productions. Miss Luken played in "Abraham and Isaac," and "The Mikado" last year and in "Down in the Valley," last fall. Snyder was also a member of the cast in "The Mikado" and "The Rising of the Moon" last year, and in "Down in the Valley," last fall. Miss Lang was Katisha in "The Mikado" and had a part in "Down in the Valley." Hoyer also had parts in the last two productions, and has participated in other speech activities. "The Glass Menagerie," by Tennessee Williams, is presented in two acts. The story is based in a boarding house in an alley in St. Louis. A gentleman is invited to the apartment for the sole purpose of having him meet Laura, who is a shy young woman slightly cripped by a childhood illness. Her mother, Amanda, had married a happy-go-lucky man eighteen years before, and he had deserted her and her children. Tom, her son, is now working in a warehouse to support the family and is trying to write poetry as a sideline. He is the name sort of person as his father. The gentleman who calls, Jim O'Conner, was a high school hero that Laura had fallen secretly in love with and still remembers. Laura is very shy at first but Jim makes her lose her shyness almost entirely during their evening, but he decides to leave after he finds that he is interested in her. Tom leaves home to join the Merchant Marines the same night, and Laura and her mother are left alone, with ho visible means of support. C. Steven Turner, instructor in speech, will direct the play. Rehearsals will begin about the middle of January, but the date for the performance has not been definitely set. This play was first produced by Eddie Dowlin and Louis Singer at the Playhouse Theatre, New York, in March, 1945. Fellowship Group Meets Wesley Fellowship met Jan. 13 in the Blue Room of the Methodist church. Ping-pong and games were played during the first part of the evening. Bonnie Chester, president, was in charge of the Worship Service which followed the games. The theme was "Re- dedication." A humorous skit was then presented by the following: Reader, Charlotte Eilers; characters, Madelyn Kraemer, John Neilson, Cheryl Green, and Elinor Christensen. No date has been set for future meetings, but the committee chairmen will meet soon to make plans for activities during the rest of the school year.

On December 8, the Senate Banking Subcommittee on Securities, Investment and Insurance held a joint hearing with the Senate Homeland Security Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations entitled "Examining the Efficiency, Stability, and Integrity of the U.S. Capital Markets." Senate Banking Subcommittee on Securities, Insurance and Investment Subcommittee Chairman Reed (D-RI) stressed the need to understand the causes and implications of the May 6 flash crash. He expressed concern with the length of time needed to complete the report on the flash crash. He questioned whether regulators have adequate tools to oversee the market. He stressed the need for coordination across markets. He stated that on May 6, a CFTC regulated product caused problems in SEC regulated markets. He stated that the trading algorithm used by one mutual fund interacted with those of other traders, particularly high frequency traders (HFTs), to create a vicious cycle. He questioned how Reg NMS needs to be updated. He stated that the SEC has implemented a stock-by-stock circuit breaker program in response to the flash crash. He stressed the need provide the SEC and CFTC with adequate technology to keep up with the markets they regulate.
Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations Chairman Levin (D-MI) stated that U.S. capital markets are fractured, open to abuses and littered with regulatory blind spots. He stated that today less than 25 percent of NYSE listed stocks are traded there. He stated that the U.S. stock market has fractured with stock trading occurring on 13 exchanges and multiple off-exchange venues. He stated that electronic communication networks (ECNs) allow participants to post public quotes without going through a formal exchange. He stated that dark pools allow participants to trade without revealing who they are. He argued that these off-exchange venues escape a great deal of regulation and oversight. Levin stated that trading competition has lowered costs, but has also led to systems failures like the May 6 flash crash. He stated that the flash crash was set off by a futures order which led to a cascade effect. Levin noted that mini-flash crashes, where the value of one stock suddenly drops without explanation, now occur regularly. He noted that the NASDAQ has experiences single stock flash crashes about five times per week. He suggested that many investors are fleeing the U.S. markets because of concerns over these system failures and because of trading abuses. He stated that high speed traders are submitting and cancelling "phony orders" in order to affect prices. He stated that traders are now analyzing trades in all three markets at once. Levin noted that Karl Denninger recently stated publicly that the market is out of control and that traders have far faster technology than regulators. Levin pointed to four key challenges facing regulators: (1) no regulatory agency has a complete picture of all of the trading venues; (2) current data systems fail to identify key information, including the names of the executing broker and customer making the trades; (3) the SEC has no minimum standards for the automated market surveillance systems of SROs; and (4) the SEC and CFTC have not set up procedures to coordinate their screening of market data to see if trades in one agency's markets are affecting prices in the other's markets. He noted that over the last few years there have been few cases brought against market manipulators. He expressed concern that overseas traders are attempting to manipulate U.S. markets and that regulators are unable to deal with them. He argued that the SEC's proposed consolidated audit trail will take years to set up and does not go far enough. He stressed the need to move more urgently to improve oversight.
