We didn't see Elder Scrolls Online's first-person mode until last week: here's why
Disclosure: Bethesda paid for air and ground travel, as well as a two-night hotel stay.
The Elder Scrolls Online doesn't quite reflect what comes to mind when one thinks of Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series – at least not yet. The press was invited to ESO developer ZeniMax Online's studio in Baltimore last week, where we not only had several hours' worth of time with a beta build, but were allowed a tour and interviews with the game's creators as well.
I chose to speak with Matt Firor, the game's director. You may recall the Report interviewed Firor earlier this year, but now that details were finally being shared, this was a change to clear up a few things. So, first thing's first: about those hands.
Getting handsy
When I wrote about Elder Scrolls Online back in January, I was told that the game supported first-person, but players would not be able to see their character's hands or weapons. In other words, it would support first-person – a feature many players clamored on the forums as being essential to the Elder Scrolls experience – to the same degree that World of Warcraft supports it.
So, were the weapons and hand animations added in response to player feedback? "Yes and no," Firor said during the group Q&A. "The problem is, we really couldn't do it anyway until we had our animation rigged, all set up, with most of our animations set up so that we knew what it was that we were going to be doing to animate the arms, is the technical answer."
"Obviously we heard the feedback too, but we wanted to do it all along, it's just we really needed to work out all the kinks." Later, when I had some one-on-one time with Firor, I asked what he meant by that. What were some of the problems he and the team had run into trying to get the game running in first-person?
Note: We still don't have official assets to show you what first-person in Elder Scrolls Online looks like, but I can tell you it looks a lot more like Skyrim, pictured above.
"We're not going to be wholly third-person or wholly first-person. You'll do it as you will. Skyrim was designed to play in first-person. Sometimes it was fun to go out to third. But Skyrim is a single-player game, you don't have to worry about stuff spawning behind you, you don't have to worry about players running up behind you and stabbing you in the back," Firor said. "In our game you do. So in certain cases you're going to want to roll the mouse out and you're gonna want to see yourself, especially in PvP."
"If you clear an area and you… we have seen this with some of our focus tests… in Skyrim, you're going down a road and bandits spawn in front of you, they almost never spawn behind you, and as you fight them, you back up a lot," he explained. "If you do that in our game, you'll run right into monsters that are behind you. We didn't change that. You need to be more aware of the world. We gave you the tools of going into third-person so at least you can see a little bit, and made it real easy to move the mouse around to see."
A weight off the shoulder pauldrons
Talking about the inclusion of first-person seemed to be a relief to Firor and the ZeniMax Online team. I asked why they couldn't have come out and said that the first-person system was something they were working on, but weren't ready to show yet. Couldn't they have saved themselves a lot of grief that way?
Firor said that it was important they space out their announcements, and that they've always tried to leave the door open for first-person game play. "If you read between the lines, we said, 'As it stands now,'" Firor told me. He said the team didn't want to show off something that didn't look good, and things like field of view and texture resolutions had to be altered in a way that didn't violate system memory.
Firor stretched out his arms wide. "The effects need to be cool-looking from this far away…" He brought his arms in close. "And cool-looking from this far away. What looks good at this far away is overpowering when you view it from this far away. So we had to make sure we cull out a lot of the particles when you're in first-person view so you don't just look at a purple cloud the whole time you're playing."
"That's why it wasn't playable today. Yeah it looks fine, but man, you're looking at huge effects all over the place, and it's just not tuned yet. It's not a good experience."
The first-person mode will be available to play at launch, but we were told not to expect it during beta.
"It's not just like waving a magic wand and suddenly, first-person works fine."
In the shadow of Skyrim
Skyrim was an immensely popular game, and there's no doubt it's colored expectations with ESO. Firor made many references to the game during both our one-on-one time and during the group Q&A, but I wondered if maybe he was getting sick of getting compared to a game he and his studio didn't develop.
"It's flattering. Skyrim is an amazing achievement. We know people, that's gonna be their last impression of what an Elder Scrolls game was. But that team also had the same problem, with everyone knowing that Oblivion was the last Elder Scrolls, and Skyrim was different from Oblivion. So it's not like they're gonna make the same game every time, and we're not either," he said.
"We're not trying to remake Skyrim, or Morrowind, or Oblivion. I think that's the basic statement. You can go play Skyrim; we're never going to make a better Skyrim than Skyrim. So we're not trying to copy anything. We're trying to take what's best about that experience and the best about seeing other people run around on the screen and kind of make one work with the other."
The concept of merging two genres was present throughout my time at ZeniMax. Firor had shown a quick Powerpoint presentation before I started my hands-on time, outlining what he said players wanted from an Elder Scrolls game, and what they wanted from an MMO. The two lined up just a little too neatly, and I asked him about it during our one-on-one. Was that really what players had told him? Had they gathered feedback from players of the games?
"We did do some testing like that, but that can lead you down very strange paths if you listen to people," Firor said. "You really need to go in with a really strong idea of what you want to do, and then use your knowledge. We're all Elder Scrolls players, and we're all MMO players. We know – we play all the MMOs and have played all the Elder Scrolls games – we kind of know where the MMO market's going, we know that you can only do so much with the giant 40-button UIs and that's been done."
"What we did mostly is, we got our design team down, and basically did a kind of exercise where we wrote down, 'This is what Elder Scrolls means to me.' We didn't do so much with MMOs, because we kind of live that, so it was 'This is what it means to me,' and then it was, 'How do we do that?' That's kind of where that came from, so it was kind of a focus group of ourselves."
Firor said the design process was a matter of compromises and finding where already-existing game play mechanics could line up. He said that MMO players are starting to get tired of rotation-based combat that focuses on cooldowns, so it was easy to slot in a combat system that approximates traditional Elder Scrolls combat on PC, where left-click attacks and right-click blocks. Firor said that implementing single-player designs into the MMO space wasn't so hard, but typical MMO design hampered the ESO experience.
In my hands-on time, I noticed that enemies glowed yellow when they were about to perform a power attack, and red when they were about to use a charged up attack. Elder Scrolls players know that's not how things work in the single-player games, but Firor said those designs exist for a reason: Instead of looking at a button-intensive UI or watching for a block prompt, players are paying attention to the world.
"MMO players love information, and Elder Scrolls players love the world, and there's no crossover between the two," Firor said. "We had knock-down, drag-out arguments over, 'Does the UI fade?' The clear design direction is you want to look at the world, so the UI should fade, but some people really don't want the UI to fade. Those are things we talk about a lot."
Hungry like the (were)wolf
This was the first time Elder Scrolls Online had been given significant time in front of the press, and the first hands-on other than the closed beta and internal testing. I asked Firor how he felt things went.
"I think the number one way to see how these go is when lunch is delivered and you announce it, everyone jumps up and runs immediately, you know you might have a problem," he said.
I can tell you, no one got up when lunch was announced. While I'm not totally sold yet, I'm looking forward to playing more of the game.

It's an issue that gets people on both sides fired up. On Tuesday, the fight over immigration reform was red hot in Washington and right here in the Tri-State after President Obama's announcement, saying "now is the time" to fix broken immigration laws.
Under his plan, immigrants living in the United States illegally would be able to move towards citizenship once they have passed national security and criminal background checks, as well as have current taxes and are able to speak English.
Supporters argue that passing the immigration reform would financially account for the 11 million illegal immigrants in the United States.
On the flip side, the burden falls on the government to support millions of individuals, and introduces them to programs like welfare and social security.
Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones will head to Washington D.C. this week to meet with the National Sheriff's Immigration Committee. He's been an active member for many years and feels this immigration reform is more about both parties pleasing voters, and not solving the bigger issue.
"This is Ohio," said Sheriff Jones. "We're a little ways from Mexico. We're a little ways from China. We're a little ways from all these countries, but the drugs still come in, the criminals still come in, and the violence and the gangs."
Sheriff Jones said the immigration reform currently on the table needs to include more things, but most importantly anything implemented needs to be enforced.
"I'm afraid that what our government is introducing is going to kill the welfare system, social security," explained Jones. "It's just going to be more of a burden on these people, people who have jobs here, Americans, U.S. citizens."
"Eleven million people are not just going to be given a blanket waiver," explained George Fee, board member for the Hispanic Chamber Cincinnati and an immigration attorney. "There are going to be lots of hoops that they need to jump through."
George Fee is a board member for the Hispanic Chamber and also an immigration attorney. He feels it will be good for the economy to document and employ immigrant workers.
"The business community will be coming online," Fee added. "Lots and lots of businesses, maybe the more cyclical ones, really depend on the immigrant labor."
Fee said the discussion on immigration reform is still in its early phases and will likely continue well into the summer months, but a resolution could be a win-win for everyone.

PHOTO CALL: Brand-New Shots of Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Samantha Barks, Sacha Baron Cohen and More in Les Miz
By Matthew Blank
The film adaptation of the Tony Award-winning musical Les Misérables will have a Christmas Day opening, hitting theatres in a wide release Dec. 25.
Here are brand new stills released by Universal Studios.
Original stage Valjean, Colm Wilkinson, plays the pivotal role of the Bishop of Digne in the picture. Tony Award winner Frances Ruffelle, the original Eponine in London and on Broadway, also makes an appearance in the film.
Les Misérables producer Cameron Mackintosh previously confirmed that the film version of the epic Victor Hugo-inspired musical, with songs by Alain Boublil, Claude-Michel Schonberg and Herbert Kretzmer, features a new song for hero Jean Valjean, and vocals for the film were sung live rather than dubbed. Read more about it here.
William Nicholson ("Gladiator," "Nell," "Shadowlands") penned the screenplay.
Production for "Les Miz" began in early March. Check out photos from filming.

"The Sun has great value if you own a puppy or a parakeet" — Brian Burke Tuesday on Sportsnet's Hockey Central. If anybody should know about icing a team of dogs that was for the birds, it should be Brian Burke. For a guy who led his team to 29th place in the NHL last season, and who traded away two potential first-round lottery draft picks, perhaps the Leafs loud-mouth GM should criticize his own performance. But Bombastic Brian loves to talk. He's got some good lines, too. Scribes love Burkie. Better than a boring GM. But it's time to put up or shut up.

I'm citing Travis Hughes article at Broad Street hockey which gives a general overview of a media flub-up today: The Toronto Sun "borrowed" a translated Czech report about Tomas Kaberle's father and remarks he made to the Czech press. The translation was originally printed on Pension Plan Puppets with hard work done by community members. At no point in time was their credit for the translation given to PPP, or was PPP cited for being a reference point. This has escalated throughout the day -- with the Toronto Sun now claiming Pension Plan Puppets plagiarized others work to establish the original translation. Suffice it to say, the PPP crew and they loyal readers are not planning on backing down on this. Visit Pension Plan Puppets for the ongoing drama.

Yesterday, it was announced with little fanfare (and surprisingly few comments from the peanut gallery) that the Bills in Toronto Series was being "postponed" for 2014. Yeah, and the last time I "postponed" a date, I never saw her again. Looks like the writing's on the wall for the Bills in TO, and as someone who attended every single one of those games–except for last year's sorry-ass contest–all I hafta say is "It's not me, it's you."
Let's face it, the Bills haven't helped themselves by bringing some gawd-awful squads up here. This franchise hasn't made the playoffs since Doug Flutie was their QB (that was 14 years ago, in case you're wondering), and their results weren't much worse in Toronto than they were at any stadium in America–a mere 1-5 in six regular season contests. But it's not just that they lost those games, but how they lost them: 16-3 to Miami, 19-13 to the Jets, 22-19 to Chicago, 50-17 to the Seahawks… OK, so I quite enjoyed that last loss. But it's no secret I was sitting on the visitor's sideline for that one. ;)
When they announced the 2013 opponent as the Atlanta Falcons, I was a little less enthused. After all, I did have a bit of a beef with Atlanta–who knocked the Hawks outta the playoffs on a last-second field goal in 2012–but I figured that the reigning NFC South champs would make Buffalo burgers out of the Bills, who had about as much depth and talent at QB as the Calgary Flames have got in goal. As it turns out, Atlanta's season went been shitty *inside joke* in a hurry, and they were about as bad as Buffalo coming in…but even with Seattle playing on MNF that week, I opted to sit at home and watch a Broncos game rather than pay money to see that sorry spectacle.
It figures that last season's game was the highest-scoring Bills contest in Toronto, with the so-called home side losing 34-31 in overtime. That could actually be considered exciting–if either team had anything to play for. But the biggest complaint afterwards wasn't about the Bills giving up a game-tying TD in the last two minutes, or the piss-poor play of EJ Manuel (18-32, 210 yards, 50.3 QBR); it was about all the fans cheering for the Falcons. Cuz hey, it may be 1,600 km away, but Atlanta's still on the East Coast, so their fans'll still travel. And it's not like the visitors making more noise was a new thing–any Bills fans who hadn't left by halftime wanted to puke, not shout, in that Seattle game. In fact, Bills center Eric Wood went on local radio afterwards and said stuff like "[Toronto]'s a bad atmosphere for football. I mean, nobody wants to play there. I guess for opposing teams it beats the hell out of going in somebody else's stadium and dealing with a bunch of crowd noise." Really, he could've been talking about any Bills in Toronto Series game there…except maybe their lone win over Washington.
Now, there are some–including The Mayor of This CityTM and his First Brother–who think that as a world-class city, we deserve a world-class team in a world-class football league. Well, the Bills may play in the NFL, but they haven't been a world-class team in 20 years. And as I've said before, Toronto's just not that big into football. I mean, the Argos haven't brought a decent crowd out to Rogers Centre since Doug Flutie was their QB.
Speaking of which, it's probably just as well that I won't hafta pretend to be a Bills fan once a year anymore. Even after dropping a lotta weight these past few months, I just barely fit into my Flutie jersey…

It was a busy day after Christmas at the malls and shopping centers with many people looking for bargains and others seeking to return items received as gifts.
Retailers nationwide reported lackluster sales during the holiday shopping season, falling below state and national groups' expectations, according to analysts.
Store owners hope the final week of the year will boost sales slightly as shoppers head back to the stores to exchange gifts, shop with gift cards and take advantage of sales.

Very nice work, makes me want to go fishing and relax, but it is 18 degrees right now and blowing snow in Colorado. I have never ice fished either (no desire to learn at this point). I haven't taken the time to fish the last 2 years and you've just made the "itch" a little harder!

Each faculty member has a knowledge of the similarities and differences between North American and Greek cultures and will understand your needs and concerns. You'll enjoy the Arcadia Center's central location, which is within walking distance of Syntagma (Constitution) Square, a bustling commercial area and the governmental core of Athens. Moreover, when you need to undertake research, you'll appreciate the Center's close proximity to the National Library, the American School of Classical Studies, and the British School of Archaeology.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump says he's received a lot of positive responses to his $5M offer to President Barack Obama.
The Donald said he'd contribute $5 million to a charity of Obama's choice if the President released his college and passport records.
"Nobody knows what's going on in respect to the President. There is a tremendous amount of people who want to see what's going on," Trump told Good Day NY co-host Rosanna Scotto at an event promoting his new international real estate venture.
Trump made the announcement Wednesday in a video posted to his Twitter account. He called Obama "the least transparent president in the history of this country," and said the deal would end voters' questions.
A transcript of the statement was posted to Trump's Facebook page.
"This all goes back to when we were growing up in Kenya," joked President Obama when he was asked to react to the offer on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Trump has endorsed Republican Mitt Romney in the presidential race. Trump drew broad publicity last year for questioning whether Obama was born in the U.S. and eligible to be president, forcing Obama to release his long-form birth certificate.
In the video, Trump said he was proud to have pushed Obama to release the birth certificate or quote - "whatever it may be."

text: The first day of practices of training camp in Flagstaff began for the Arizona Cardinals with their run test, to see if all the players were in condition. As it goes, if you don't pass, you don't practice, which is bad news. Ken Whisenhunt told reporters after the workout that everyone was good on their run test, which is a very good start to camp. There was one other bit of good news that Arizona Cardinals fans will be glad to hear -- nose tackle Dan Williams is where he needs to be with his weight.

Metro Police said the pedestrian fatally injured in the southbound lanes of I-65 near Briley Parkway at 8:45 p.m. Friday was identified as Jorge Gonzales, 38, of Mayfield, Kentucky.
Investigators said their preliminary findings indicate that Gonzales was on the inside median of the interstate attempting to cross the roadway when he was struck by a 2004 Chevrolet Impala driven by Sean Davis, 40, of Bowling Green, Kentucky.
David told police that he was unable to avoid Gonzales, whose vehicle was found parked on the shoulder of the roadway.
Gonzales was rushed to Vanderbilt Medical Center where he was pronounced dead, police said.
A friend crossing the interstate with Gonzales left the scene before police arrived, investigators said. He was found later in the night and appeared to be intoxicated. Police said he was interviewed and released.
Davis was uninjured.
Police said the preliminary contributing factor in this fatal collision appears to be Gonzales' presence in the roadway.

The Clemson Tigers have never won against North Carolina in Chapel Hill. Entering the teams' Saturday afternoon clash in the Dean Dome, they were 0-55, and they weren't ever all that close to ending that unbelievable streak. The No. 8 Tar Heels cruised, separating themselves in the second half and winning 74-52.
Harrison Barnes was dominant in this one, scoring 24 points on 9-18 shooting with seven rebounds, playing the kind of game that has made NBA scouts drool over him for the last three years. The Heels dominated on the inside, out-rebounding the Tigers 37-23. John Henson, Tyler Zeller and Barnes combined for 22 of those 37 rebounds. Kendall Marshall continued his runaway candidacy for the Bob Cousy award for the nation's best point guard, amassing 13 assists and turning it over three times.
The Tigers needed a big performance from their best player, Milton Jennings, and he came up way short, scoring just nine points to go with five turnovers. He was dominated physically by the Tar Heels' massive front line all night. Point guard Andre Young was the only Tiger in double-digits with 13, but he shot just 5-13 from the field, typifying his team's performance as a whole.
For more on these two teams, visit Tar Heel blog Carolina March and Clemson blog Shakin The Southland.

St. Martin
St. Martin is the name of the French-governed portion of the island, while St. Maarten designates the Dutch side. The total land area of the island is 38 square miles (21 French, 17 Dutch). The population of St. Martin is approximately 25,000, while St. Maarten boasts 30,000.
The French and Dutch have co-existed peacefully for three centuries. According to legend, the boundaries of the two governments were set in 1648 when, instead of dueling, a Frenchman and a Dutchman decided to walk in opposite directions along the coast until they met each other again. The Frenchman gave the Dutchman a bottle of "water" which, in reality, was gin thereby explaining the greater French land mass today.
Architecture and Historic Sites
Much of the architecture in Philipsburg, the capital of St Maarten, has a strong Dutch influence. Its main streets are lined with pastel colored houses adorned with elaborate carvings and wrought iron balconies.
Historic sites on the island include a number of ruined forts. The best known of these is Fort Amsterdam in Philipsburg's Great Bay.
Art and Culture in St Martin / St Maarten
Although St Martin and St Maarten have one of the most developed tourism infrastructures in the Caribbean, their cultural life remains rich. Attractions include historic sites, art galleries and an annual carnival. There are significant cultural differences between the French and Dutch sides of the island. Carnival in St Maarten is larger and more grandiose than it is in St Martin, and the restaurants on the French side of the island are among the best in the Caribbean.
Detailed information about cultural events can be found in a weekly newspaper called Today and in free brochures available from tourist centers.
Food and Drink
St Martin has a number of top quality restaurants serving predominantly French and Creole cuisine, and restaurants in St Maarten serve a wide variety of international cuisine.
The national liqueur is guavaberry, made from rum and the local berries.
Museums and Galleries
There are a large number of art galleries on the island. Many of these are in Marigot, the French capital, with Camaïeu and Galerie Valentin among the best known. The Poisson d'Or restaurant in Marigot also displays and sells work by local artists.
The island has two museums, the Simart'n Museum in Philipsburg and Museum "On the Trail of the Arawaks" in Marigot. Both house a number of impressive cultural exhibits, including rare collections of Arawak pottery. The Arawaks were the first settlers of the island, most of whom died during the first years of colonial rule.
Traditional Caribbean music, including reggae and calypso, is performed during carnival. Carnival starts in mid-April and lasts for three weeks in St Maarten and takes place before Ash Wednesday in St Martin. Live music can be heard at a number of bars throughout the year and concerts are held on national holidays.

|Looking for a particular article on electronic reserves?
Go to http://reserves.ucsd.edu and select your department or instructor or search by course name.
|Looking for a particular book on reserve at Geisel?
Search course reserves by course name or by professor name.
Call 858-534-1212 or email email@example.com (for physical reserves or e-reserves for social sciences and humanities subjects), or firstname.lastname@example.com (for e-reserves for science and engineering subjects).
The Geisel Library Circulation desk provides access to reserves for undergraduate and graduate social science and humanities, and science and engineering subjects.
Undergraduate course materials may be checked out for 3 hours and graduate course materials may be checked out for 24 hours. Professors may request that undergraduate books check out for 24 hours. Three hours is recommended for highly used books; 24 hours is recommended for books that will be used to write papers, optional readings, or books that very few students will use.
Overnight check out is also available for 3-hour items if items are checked out less than three hours before the Circulation Desk closes. Overnight items are due back by 10 a.m. on weekdays and by noon (12:00 p.m.) on Saturdays and Sundays.
Please return your reserve items on time to avoid overdue fines. Overdue fines begin accruing immediately after the item becomes due. Late fees start right away at $10.00 and increase at a rate of $10.00 for each additional late hour.
There are no checkout periods or fines for electronic reserves and articles can be read by multiple users simultaneously 24/7.
To find out if an item is on reserve, check Roger, the UCSD Online Catalog. Roger will show the location as "Geisel Circ. Desk." These items are located at the Geisel Library lobby circulation desk for check out. Simply bring the call number of the item that you'd like to check out to the desk, and ask for it there. To see everything that is on reserve for a particular class go to http://reserves.ucsd.edu.
To find out if an item is on electronic reserve, check the UCSD Libraries Electronic Reserves site and browse by course number, instructor's name, or search by the article/document author or title. If you are using an off-campus computer, you need to alter your computer settings to use the UCSD proxy server or VPN to read items on electronic reserves.
Reserve items can be returned to library staff at the crculation desk, or in the book drop at the Circulation Desk marked specifically for reserve items. Reserve items CANNOT be returned to any of the outside book drops, libraries other than Geisel, or the regular inside book drop.
We cannot set aside reserve items to be picked up at a specific time. Reserves are checked out and renewed in person on a first come, first served basis. If the item that you'd like to check out is checked out to another patron, you have the option of taking a restaurant-style pager and being added to a waiting list for the item. Once you are paged, you have 15 minutes to respond at the Geisel Library lobby circulation desk with your UCSD ID. If you don't respond within that time, the item will be given to the next person in line. Pagers are not guaranteed to work outside of Geisel Library or in the tower. You are responsible for checking on the status of the item you are waiting for at the circulation desk.
The Geisel Library Reserves Unit will place books and course readers on physical reserve for check out. Additional course materials, such as articles, lecture notes, course syllabi, and individual book chapters will be placed on electronic reserve as .pdf files or links as long as they are in compliance with the UCSD Libraries' copyright policies for electronic reserves.
To place items on physical or electronic reserve (e-reserve) for an undergraduate or graduate course in a Social Sciences and Humanities subject, you must fill out the Faculty Course Reserves Request Form and choose "Social Sciences and Humanities Library" as the location.
To place items on physical or electronic reserve (e-reserve) for an undergraduate or graduate course in a science or engineering subject, you must fill out the Faculty Course Reserves Request Form and choose "Science and Engineering Library" as the location.
You can list your physical and electronic reserve requests on the same form, but please indicate which items you would like for physical reserve and which you would like for e-reserve. All requests for reserves MUST be submitted electronically, either via the form above or as an email attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Please note that the library does not purchase course readers or custom editions, and you cannot place a reader on reserve if it contains the same articles that you request for e-reserve. If you would like an item (other than a reader) on both physical reserve and e-reserve, please indicate which form of reserve is your first priority. If time permits, we will make the item available on both physical and e-reserve, but only after all other requests have been completed.
When submitting your request, please tell us:
It is the instructor's responsibility to submit material for course reserves which complies with Title 17 of the U.S. copyright law. The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, US Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would invoke violation of copyright law. We will contact you if there are any copyright issues with your materials. Please read the policy for details.
See also the Instructor's Guide for Submitting Reserves Requests.
While there is no limit, we suggest that you limit your list to required and recommended reading. Our experience with longer lists is that some books and electronic reserve items remain completely untouched by quarter's end. If you'd like statistics on the amount of use your physical and electronic reserve items are receiving, please contact us at 858-534-1212 or email@example.com.
For the fastest service, we encourage you to submit personal or departmental copies of reserve materials. Personal copies will be returned by mail the following quarter, or you can ask to pick them up at the Library. If you request to pick them up, please note that they must be picked up by the end of the quarter, or we will mail them back to you. If you do supply personal copies for reserves, we will need to put a barcode and reserves tape on the item(s), and heavy use by students may cause the item(s) to be returned with more wear and/or damage than when originally provided. In the event that personal copies are damaged, the Library will make reasonable repairs so that items continue to be useable to students for the duration of the quarter. In the event that a student loses an instructor's personal copy, the standard replacement policy will apply and students will be assessed the replacement costs. Please be aware that course readers provided by instructors may not be replaceable.
If you cannot loan personal copies for reserves, and copies are not available in the Libraries' collection, please allow time for purchasing materials. The Library will attempt to order books needed for course reserves, but it may take several weeks for titles to become available on reserve at the Library. Reserves staff will contact you if there are problems obtaining copies for reserve. Unfortunately, the Library cannot accept your Circuit or Interlibrary Loan books for physical reserve.
Visit http://libraries.ucsd.edu/resources/course-reserves for information on electronic and digital reserves at other UCSD Libraries.

CATEGORIES MoviesFilmmakers these days are getting a little, uh, imaginative when it comes to depicting historical figures on the big screen. Need I say more than Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter to illustrate my point?
If your answer is yes, then I also present the upcoming flick FDR: American Badass as evidence. It portrays the polio-stricken president Roosevelt as, you guessed it, a werewolf hunter. He doesn't hunt just any werewolves, though. No. He hunts Nazi werewolves.
After seeing the new film Hyde Park on Hudson, featuring an amazing Bill Murray as FDR, it's hard to imagine how the president would have any time to hunt werewolves with all of the extracurricular activities he had going on the side. But I suppose it takes a special kind of man to be president. And a werewolf hunter. And a charming lady killer. So extreme multi-tasking ain't no thang for such a chap. Plus FDR: American Badass isn't exactly gunning for historical accuracy.
On a much more modest scale, the recent film Farewell, My Queen, takes a rumor about legendary French Queen Marie Antoinette and runs with it. The rumor, of course, was that the polarizing queen lusted after the ladies. Yes, as well as famously proclaiming, "Let them eat cake!" Marie Antoinette was also known for being quite promiscuous, with a particular penchant for pretty women. Farewell, My Queen explores the torrid love affair she may have had with the beautiful and extravagant Duchess of Polignac.
With this spate of movies taking generous liberties with historical figures, I felt it was about time to throw my own crazy ideas into the mix. Because, really, why not? Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is already out there. How much more ridiculous could it get?
1. Gandhi: Axe Murderer. But don't worry -- he's a Dexter-style killer who only slays the really bad guys. He releases all his aggression during his vigilante extracurricular activities at night, which allows him to never lose his cool during his day gig as the world's most inspirational non-violent agent of change. 2. Buddha: Cake Boss. Ever wonder how Buddha got that Buddha belly? Well, it's hard to maintain a lithe figure when you and your crew are baking deliciously irresistible cakes all day. Stressful deadlines and demanding party planners make it hard for Buddha to remain Zen, but this taxing environment strengthens his resolve to pursue the path to spiritual enlightenment. 3. Cleopatra: Time Traveler. Not content with driving the men of her own time wild, Cleopatra has one of her admirers build her a functional time machine that lets her enchant the men of the past and future, too. This film focuses on the steamy love affair Cleopatra had with American inventor Thomas Edison. (Little-known fact: she was his inspiration for inventing the light bulb. He just had to get a better look at her after dark.)
4. Napoleon: B-Boy. Napoleon doesn't rest until he conquers all of Europe's breakdance competitions in this year's most high-energy dance flick featuring elaborate costumes and choreography inspired by 18th century France. On the breakdance circuit, Napoleon falls in love with a girl from the wrong side of the tracks, and his family worries that she may derail his ambitions to become an all powerful Emperor.
5. Leonardo da Vinci: Robot. It's hard to believe that one man could be so great at everything. This film reveals that you were right to be skeptical: da Vinci was, in fact, the most evolved robot to date. Vinci-bot doesn't require sleep, which is why he's such a prolific artist and inventor. His prowess rattles the powers-that-be, who are threatened by this robot wunderkind. The government apprehends Vinci-bot's designer, jails him for life and destroys all of his notes so that Vinci-bot can never be replicated.

My name's Marta. I'm 30 years old and I'm married to a great guy. I have shoulder length auburn hair, green eyes and a 38 24 36 figure. I'm also an exhibitionist. I love to dress sexy and show myself off in public.
Yesterday, I was shopping at the mall while my hubby was working and the kids were in school. I wore a short, sexy dress, no underwear and my tall high heels. The dress had a swingy skirt, and it closed down the front so I could unfasten a few buttons and really show off my cleavage.
As I walked around the mall, I noticed this guy checking me out, which isn't unusual, and I decided to try and pick him up for fun. He was a short, balding man in his 40s or 50s. He worked for the big department store.
I had my purchases in two heavy bags, so I went to sit down and rest. I slid forward in my seat, knowing that my skirt would ride up and move away from my bare legs when I moved.
He was approaching me when I "accidentally" tipped a bag over, spilling the contents. He quickly knelt to help me, and just then I wriggled my legs and opened my thighs very subtly, so that instead of looking at the items I'd spilled, he was staring directly at my pussy. He stammered out some kind of apology when I made eye contact with him, but I told him not to be sorry. I then asked him if he was due a break.
In two minutes we were in the back of my minivan and this total stranger was running his hands all over me before he got on top of me. It was so wicked doing it in public like that, but luckily he didn't last long, so we didn't get caught. After he shot his load, he quickly thanked me and left.
I brought myself off by hand after he was gone and then went home. All in all, it was a good day at the mall. M.F., Bellevue, Washington

I made this one night for my brother and his 2 friends and they all loved it! So did my boyfriend and I. It is delicious! :)

This was real good but I will change the layering next time I make it. I will combine the meat & cheese (keep hot)and make the meat mixture the bottom layer, followed by the lettuce, tomato & add onion.

Sony Unveils World's First Full-Frame Video Camera
Today is quite the announcement day for Sony. As I hinted at in the previous A99 post, there were more cameras to come. One of the other major announcements today is a first of its kind: a full frame video camera. That camera, the NEX-VG900, joins the replacement to the VG20, the new NEX-VG30. While both of these are consumer options, they feature the same very adaptable E-mount as well as uncompressed HDMI — with the VG900 actually including an adapter for A-mount lenses to be able to be electronically controlled by the camera. Check out some footage from the VG900 full frame video camera below: More »

"When I spoke with Emmanuel Burriss last week, he'd just returned from a consultation with the Carolina Panthers' orthopedist about his broken left foot. Dr. Robert Anderson offered three treatment options, including surgery, and Burriss was on the fence. Ultimately, he decided to undergo surgery and Dr. Anderson performed it Sunday in Charlotte. Burriss will be on crutches for a couple days and in a walking boot thereafter. He is expected to be game ready in 10 weeks, meaning mid-June at the earliest." In light of this, Baggs speculates about a trade for a 2B/SS utility guy.

This is an awesome additional for bicyclists who have to contend with crazy vehicles who take no notice of them. I follow all bike laws and have still almost been run down by a clown who didn't realize he was speeding...IN A BIKE LANE!!!!!!!!! AT NIGHT!!!! Need I say more??? Thank you fellow tax payers. Now we need to pass a small tax on Pleasanton residents so they can pave the entire path. How enjoyable and non-bumpy that would be on my butt and jaw.

Don't tax residents for your bike wants. Get your biker friends together and raise the money for it yourselves. This country is full of too many people standing around looking for a freebie. Take initiative, not hand outs.
The government already takes over 1/3 of my income in taxes. I refuse to pay more. Eliminate waste spending and special interests.

This problem starts on the left side of the face under the prominant roof and prow. Climbs up with easy pulls on jugs to the lip of the roof where one must make comminting crux moves up the prow. I'm not sure it's quite V3, the actual moves seemed just a little easier. The damn thing is so high up though, that the highball factor might add a little to the grade. This problem is a classic. The rock is great, the holds are great, the moves are great, the postion is great, even the exposure is great (hard to find in a boulder problem). Definitely don't want to fall from the crux....
This problem is well over 20 feet high. A pad is some reassurance. It is topropable as well.

By Rob Burgess
Tribune columnist
— Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court issued four of the most consequential rulings in years as a final capper to its current term. If nothing else, it was a sound reminder of the power nine human beings have over everyone else who lives here, for good or ill. Here's a rundown of the decisions:
Fisher v. University of Texas
This case was more about what didn't happen: Affirmative action is not dead. Good thing, too. Moving on …
United States v. Windsor
The Defense of Marriage Act was an indefensible blunder on the part of President William Jefferson Clinton. Here he is being interviewed by The Advocate in late June 1996, just before he signed the codified discrimination into law. "I remain opposed to same-sex marriage," he said. "I believe marriage is an institution for the union of a man and a woman. This has been my long-standing position, and it is not being reviewed or reconsidered." Jerry Falwell couldn't have said it better himself, I'm sure. Clinton really let everyone down by playing along with this Bob Barr-penned fiasco in the first place. (To be fair, he has since shifted his stance, penning an op-ed for the Washington Post earlier this year entitled, "It's time to overturn DOMA.") By a 5-4 decision, that mistake has finally been amended. In the now 13 states where gay marriage is legal, that union now means something in a practical sense when it counts. Which brings us to …
Hollingsworth v. Perry
I was lucky enough to be an eligible voter in the state of California in 2008. This afforded me the distinct pleasure of voting against Proposition 8, which constitutionally banned same-sex marriage in the Golden State. I and my fellow 6,401,481 concurring registered voters finally had our voices heard five years later when the court ruled it unconstitutional. I was pretty sure the court would turn its back on Prop. 8, I just didn't want to get my hopes up. I was heartened by the fact the state did not even show up in district court to defend the ballot initiative. However, I am saddened the court left the other 37 states in the nation awaiting a future court challenge to finally finish the job of legalizing gay marriage everywhere. It could have gone a lot worse, though. But, then, I reject the entire premise from the start: Two consenting, nonrelated adults shouldn't have to answer to anyone, including me, about whom they love or why. It's not something to be voted upon in the first place. (Are you listening, Gov. Mike Pence?) Speaking of voting …
Shelby County v. Holder
With this decision the court effectively ripped the vital organs out of the landmark Voting Rights Act of 1965. I shuddered out loud when I read the following passage in Adam Liptak's June 25 New York Times report. "The decision will have immediate practical consequences," he wrote. "Texas announced shortly after the decision that a voter identification law that had been blocked would go into effect immediately, and that redistricting maps there would no longer need federal approval. Changes in voting procedures in the places that had been covered by the law, including ones concerning restrictions on early voting, will now be subject only to after-the-fact litigation." If anyone is curious about what happened when people could still get away with it, head on over to the Civil Rights Movement Veterans' page and take a stab at an Alabama, Louisiana or Mississippi's historical literacy test. (The answers to these questions were often left intentionally vague so as to give discretion as to the "correct" answer to the questioner.) Chief Justice John Roberts and his four like-minded justices don't seem to understand one of the main reasons conditions at the polls have improved compared to Jim Crow is the VRA itself, which this verdict demolishes. "Our country has changed," Roberts wrote for the majority. "While any racial discrimination in voting is too much, Congress must ensure that the legislation it passes to remedy that problem speaks to current conditions." Sadly, Justice Roberts, history has a nasty way of repeating itself.

About 100 people were arrested Wednesday morning in a coordinated law enforcement sweep targeting illegal prescription drug use in New York City and Long Island, officials said. Among those charged are doctors and pharmacists, as well as drug users, officials say, with the largest number of arrests occurring on Staten Island. Brooklyn federal prosecutors spearheaded the action and joined forces with the Drug Enforcement Administration, district attorney's offices and local law enforcement agencies across the metropolitan area in a series of raids that began Tuesday night and continued into Wednesday. Prescription drug abuse in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Nassau and Suffolk counties largely centers on the illicit sales and use of the painkillers Oxycontin, Vicodin and Percocet, officials say, with the highest concentration seen in Staten Island and suburban Long Island. Those arrested will be arraigned later Wednesday in Brooklyn federal court.
