Bossier Parish Library > Fiscal Services Home
Hello from the hidden side of the library, also known as the back offices. For our library to be a success for our patrons, there are staff that rarely interact with the public. The position of accounts payable works behind the scenes, making sure all invoices are coded correctly and paid in a timely manner, that's where I come in. I process all invoices for the entire library system.
I have been employed with the library since 1994. I started at the Benton Library (the old building) as a part-time circulation assistant. An opening in Technical Services became available in 2001; I applied for the position and was hired. I was accepted for the accounts payable position in early 2007. I also manage all fixed assets and inventory for the library system. Another responsibility is maintaining sick and vacation leave records for all staff.
As a young child growing up, one of my favorite activities was going to the library and looking at all the books. I have been an avid reader all my life and could not imagine life without books. Working for Bossier Parish Library continues to be a great adventure and experience.

Sense of agency
The "sense of agency" (SA) (or sense of control) refers to the subjective awareness that one is initiating, executing, and controlling one's own volitional actions in the world.[1] It is the pre-reflective awareness or implicit sense that it is I who is executing bodily movement(s) or thinking thoughts. In normal, non-pathological experience, the SA is tightly integrated with one's "sense of ownership" (SO), which is the pre-reflective awareness or implicit sense that one is the owner of an action, movement or thought. If someone else were to move your arm (while you remained passive) you would certainly have sensed that it were your arm that moved and thus a sense of ownership (SO) for that movement. However, you would not have felt that you were the author of the movement; you would not have a sense of agency (SA).[2]
Normally SA and SO are tightly integrated, such that while typing one has an enduring, embodied, and tacit sense that "my own fingers are doing the moving" (SO) and that "the typing movements are controlled (or volitionally directed) by me" (SA). In patients suffering from certain forms of pathological experience (i.e., schizophrenia) the integration of SA and SO may become disrupted in some manner. In this case, movements may be executed or thoughts made manifest, for which the schizophrenic patient has a sense of ownership, but not a sense of agency.
Regarding SA for both motor movements and thoughts, further distinctions may be found in both first-order (immediate, pre-reflective) experience[3] and higher-order (reflective or introspective) consciousness.[4] For example, while typing I have a sense of control and thus SA for the on-going action of typing; this is an example of SA in first-order experience which is immediate and prior to any explicit intellectual reflection upon the typing actions themselves. In this case, I am not focusing on the typing movements per se but rather, I am involved with the task at hand. If I'm subsequently asked if I just performed the action of typing, I can correctly attribute agency to myself. This is an example of a higher-order, reflective, conscious "attribution" of agency, which is a derivative notion stemming from the immediate, pre-reflective "sense" of agency.
The concept of agency implies an active organism, one who desires, makes plans, and carries out actions.[5] The sense of agency plays a pivotal role in cognitive development, including the first stage of self-awareness (or pre-theoretical experience of one's own mentality), which scaffolds theory of mind capacities.[6] Indeed, the ability to recognize oneself as the agent of a behavior is the way the self builds as an entity independent from the external world.[7] The sense of agency and its scientific study has important implications in social cognition, moral reasoning, and psychopathology. The conceptual distinction between SA and SO was defined by philosopher and phenomenologist Shaun Gallagher.[8] Using a different terminology, essentially the same distinction has been made by John Campbell[9] and Lynn Stephens & George Graham.[10]
Neuroscience of the sense of agency[edit]
A number of experiments in normal individuals has been undertaken in order to determine the functional anatomy of the sense of agency. These experiments have consistently documented the role of the posterior parietal cortex as a critical link within the simulation network for self-recognition. Activation of the right inferior parietal lobe/temporoparietal junction correlates with the subjective sense of ownership in action execution.[11][12] Posterior parietal lesions, especially on the right side, impair the ability of recognizing one's own body parts and self-attributing one's own movements.[13]
Accumulating evidence from functional neuroimaging studies, as well as lesion studies in neurological patients indicates that the right inferior parietal cortex, at the junction with the posterior temporal cortex (TPJ, temporoparietal junction), plays a critical role in the distinction between self-produced actions and actions perceived in others.[14] Lesions of this region can produce a variety of disorders associated with body knowledge and self-awareness such as anosognosia, asomatognosia, or somatoparaphrenia.[15] Electrical stimulation of the TPJ can elicit out-of-body experiences (i.e., the experience of dissociation of self from the body).[16]
The investigation of the neural correlates of reciprocal imitation is extremely important because it provides an ecological paradigm (a situation close to everyday life) to address the issue of the sense of agency.[17] There is good evidence that reciprocal imitation plays a constitutive role in the early development of an implicit sense of self as a social agent.[18] In one functional neuroimaging experiment, participants were scanned while they imitated an experimenter performing constructions with small objects and while the experimenter, while performing such a manipulation, imitated the participants. Across both conditions, the participants' sense of ownership (the sense that it is I who am experiencing the movement or thought) as well as the visual and somatosensory inputs are similar or coincide. What differs between imitating and being imitated is the agent who initiated the action. Several key regions were involved in the two conditions of reciprocal imitation compared to a control condition (in which subjects acted differently from the experimenter), namely in the superior temporal sulcus, the temporoparietal cortex (TPJ), and the medial prefrontal cortex.[19]
Another approach to understanding the neuroscientific underpinnings of the sense of agency is to examine clinical conditions in which purposeful limb movement occurs without an associated sense of agency. The most clear clinical demonstration of this situation is alien hand syndrome. In this condition, associated with specific forms of brain damage, the affected individual loses the sense of agency without losing a sense of ownership of the affected body part.
Agency and psychopathology[edit]
Marc Jeannerod proposed that the process of self-recognition operates covertly and effortlessly. It depends upon a set of mechanisms involving the processing of specific neural signals, from sensory as well as from central origin. Researchers have used experimental situations, in both healthy participants and schizophrenic patients, where these signals can be dissociated from each other and where self-recognition becomes ambiguous.[20] These situations reveal that there are two levels of self-recognition, an automatic level for action identification, and a conscious level for the sense of agency, which both rely on the same principle of congruence of the action-related signals.
Investigation of the sense of agency is important to explain positive symptoms of schizophrenia, like thought insertion and delusions of control. The core of the problem met by these patients is a disturbance of their sense of agency: the first rank symptoms, which represent one of the major features of the disease, are nothing but a loss of the ability to attribute their own thoughts, internal speech, covert or overt actions to themselves. Nonattributed or misattributed thoughts and actions then become a material for delusional interpretation and delirium.[21] A study has shown that in schizophrenic patients the feeling of alien control (i.e., delusions of control) during a movement task is associated with an increased metabolic activity in the right inferior parietal cortex.[22]

Las Vegas SWAT officers raided a business that, police believe, was stealing catalytic converters and other car parts in a million-dollar operation.
Las Vegas Metro police first told FOX5 of the raid that took place at a warehouse just off Industrial Road, south of Sahara Avenue.
In an investigation, police believe specialized "chop shops" were melting down stolen catalytic converters to sell them for money. Police said the car parts, at times, result in a $1,400 price per ounce of platinum.
A search warrant executed Monday morning resulted in the discovery of catalytic converters, as well as transmissions, engine blocks and other parts. Police believe the one warehouse pulled in more than $1 million in one year.
Police arrested the following people in connection with the investigation:
Police further said thieves tied to the operation would target cars in parking lots and specifically hospitals and other businesses.
Police also raided a home in Summerlin as part of the investigation.
Stay tuned to FOX5 for the latest on this developing story.

As everyone knows, the holidays can be a stressful time. So in an attempt to bring you some good cheer and a laugh or two, we decided to search the web for videos that present the more absurd side of a holiday devoted to slaughtering and devouring a giant fowl. From the most pornographic non-human thing you will ever see to fires and explosions galore, enjoy the Thanksgiving mayhem.
The Dirtiest Job of them All
In this unreal clip from the awesome Discovery Channel show Dirty Jobs, host Mike Rowe takes a crack at inseminating turkeys. As you'll see, if these weren't birds, there is NO WAY this would have been on TV.
The Worst Possible Place to Fry a Turkey
In this radio show stunt, the dangers of frying a turkey in your living room are explored. Would anyone ever do this? Probably not. Is it amazing to watch? Oh yeah.
Babes, Birds and Firearms
Have you ever wondered what would happen to a plucked turkey if someone shot it with a 50 caliber bullet? Well, if so, you can find out here, complete with hot babes in bikinis.
You Call That a Microwave?
On this segment from Mythbusters, the hosts cook a turkey using radio waves. Pointless? Yes. Awesome? That, too.
At Least the Dog Survived
The best part of this video on "How Not to Fry a Turkey" is when the woman walks in at the start and moves the dog. It soon becomes apparent that she is by far the smartest person at this gathering.
Parking Lot Anarchy
In this bizarre black and white film, a group of like-minded anarchists assemble in a church parking lot for their annual turkey carcass and pumpkin blowing-up festival. When it becomes a "kick the bomb" contest, you know it's gone too far.
When Turkeys Attack
When wild turkeys invade your New Jersey neighborhood, be smart and do not take your young child out for a bike riding lesson. One commenter describes this scene accurately as "TURKEYRASSIC PARK."
They Really Can Fly!
And finally, in this classic clip from the Letterman show, Dave disproves the widely held belief that the turkey is a flightless bird.

After the Game on Sunday, someone stated that it would be cool to go back to draft day and find some video and other things on DeMarco Murray and see what people were saying about him. Well, no one went back and did that, so I have taken it upon myself to take us back in time Pre-Rams and give us all a look at who DeMarco Murray is as a player. So who is DeMarco Murray? Let's find out.
First to get the obvious out of the way, DeMarco Murray is the current record holder for all-purpose yards AND career touchdowns for Oklahoma University. Just from that we can derive that he never was a one year wonder, but a consistent performer. What makes that even more unique, is that he has those records and came into the NFL Draft with people commonly stating this about him:
The fact that he was able to achieve those records with durability concerns is something of itself and tells you what kind of impact this guy has on the field. However, PFW is a little off in their analysis because all of his "durability concerns" were up until his senior season, where he played injury free for the entire year. A lot of that DeMarco credits to his new workout regime, which we shall discuss a little bit later.
Right now lets get to draft day and see what people were saying about him. So here is his NFL Films Draft Profile that you can find on NFL Network and will tell you what DeMarco Murray was expected to bring into the NFL. You will see some college highlights as well as a discussion of his performance at the NFL Combine.
Here you will be able to Relive the Dallas Cowboys 3rd Round Pick and what my favorite draft analyst, Mike Mayock has to say about DeMarco Murray after the selection was made. He will tell you how he fits in with the Cowboys system and what he should be able to provide.
Now for my favorite thing about DeMarco Murray. I discussed that prior to his Senior Season at OU, he engaged in a new training regimen. He wanted to get into this for more than one reason, but one of them was to help prevent injury and kind of see if he could erase that from the concerns from people. I would say it worked because he had a clean bill of health during his senior year. This new training regimen is MMA training. Murray has actually received many endorsements and support from the UFC. He actually even received support from the UFC to get be the cover athlete for NCAA Football 12. Now, many athletes in the NFL have actually started on this and you can see the segment from NFL Network here titled The MMA Way. You don't get much of a chance to see DeMarco in that video, however you do get to see some of the big name athletes that use the same training, like Clay Matthews, and what it does for them and that each workout is position specific. But now lets take a look at DeMarco Murray in the MMA Training environment here:
I think many of us have noticed exactly how huge this guy is without the pads on. This guy is practically solid muscle, well, now you know one of the reasons why. One of the most remarkable things to take from this video is the fact that Jay Glazer says that Murray is the first player to come in to train BEFORE the NFL Draft in preparation to enter the NFL. This would also explain probably why he is regarded as one of the best pass blocking backs to come out of college football. The guy may be an offensive player, but based on this, he knows how to deliver a knockout blow.
Now, we all saw him running over folks during the Rams game, and yes, it was the Rams. However, after watching all of these other videos, lets take a look at Murray's highlights vs. St. Louis. You will be able to see where some of that MMA training comes into play, especially when he runs over a guy at the 6:28 Mark when he runs over a rams defender and breaks his second 40+ yarder of the day. Although you will see that MMA training in action throughout the video.
So in closing, it is nice to know that we may actually have a featured back in our system. I have been saying for a while with this new trend in the NFL of having multiple running backs that you need to have a featured guy that can tote the rock for at least 20 carries a game. Definitely not this three back system with 10 carries for each back like we have been used to seeing. A back needs to be able to be comfortable in the backfield and develop some chemistry with his offensive line and know how to run behind them. So having a featured back is essential, then maybe 10 carries for your #2 guy and 5 for the 3rd guy, something along those lines. We shall see going forward how they divide the carries, but one guy needs to have a majority of the load.
All of that aside, I think we can answer the question that was asked at the beginning of this post. Who is DeMarco Murray? A beast? You could probably say that. A hero? Let's not jump the gun yet after one game, but if he continues to perform in a way that makes our running attack dangerous and take pressure off of Romo, he very well could be labeled that in the future. So what exactly is DeMarco Murray? Well, most of all, he is a Cowboy, a Dallas Cowboy. That is who DeMarco Murray is. And we are all glad that he is, especially if he can remain consistent and continue to have the kind of production that we have seen from him so far.

A Movie Preview Worth Watching
I continue to get a pretty steady stream of good feedback on our current "Friends on Facebook" message series. In it, we've been discussing how our tendency towards digital communication is affecting the way we relate to each other.
This week, my pal Kara sent me a link to a lengthy (almost 9 minutes!) preview of an upcoming film recently featured at the Sundance Film Festival. It's called Arm, and I thought it was a really amazing commentary on some of the stuff we've been discussing.
Take it for a spin and leave me a comment. Eeeeespecially if you see yourself in one of these characters.
Personally, I'm going to be taking a little break from digital communication this coming week but I'd love to dive into some conversation on all this stuff when I return.

I cant believe it! Anyways to start off with a little background I've been a kings fan since about 4 years old, even though I'm only 15... haha. I'm a huge Peja fan by the way. Back to reality now... ever since the anaheim drama a couple of years ago I've been a huge fan of sactown royalty for all my Kings info. And even though i may come off as, and feel like a creep, I've really enjoyed reading through all the comments and game threads for other peoples opinions on various topics. As you guys have probably noticed, this fanpost really isn't anything other than introducing myself, because i plan to become a very active member here. I also want to thank everyone from Ziller to Section, Wissingser, Aykis, and the rest of the family here for making this the best SB nation site! Sadly I'm too late to add to the Tyreke drama... i felt that him and Mclemore would have been an amazing backcourt duo. o well! welcome to sac Vasquez. Seems like a nice guy.
Now in hopes of starting a discussion- who do u guys see as an appropriate player match for Mclemore. i know Ray has been the popular one, but i hope to see more playmaking out of him in his prime. With his stroke and athleticism, is a guard version of KD a reasonable assumption? Or even a less assertive Kobe Bryant? I realize how optimistic I'm being.... just hoping he can take his game a step beyond ray allen, and that's playmaking. Having the ball inhis hands at end of games, later on in his career of course. Anyways its about midnight now and i realize my optimistic ways are at an all time high right now. S try not to hate on this, and just give feedback! Thanks again Sactown! Excited to be a part of the family!!!

BATAVIA, N.Y. — Sean Vickers pleaded not guilty in Genesee County Court on Wednesday following a grand jury indictment.
"Two counts of predatory sexual assault against a child, which are Class A II felonies, as well as other various other sex offenses involving children," said Genesee County District Attorney Lawrence Friedman.
Sean Vickers is accused of abusing children in Batavia. He was originally charged in May with sexual conduct against a child.
This new indictment adds 11 counts and four new victims.
Besides predatory sexual assault, Vickers is also charged with course of sexual conduct against a child, criminal sexual act, sexual abuse and endangering the welfare of a child.
Vickers is beng held in Genesee County Jail with no bail.
"Because of the number of charges involved, the number of victims involved, the seriousness of the charges and the defendant's history, I was certainly concerned of the potential for flight," said Friedman.
Two of these charges carry life sentences.
Authorities believe the 44-year-old Geneva resident began these sex crimes as far back as 20 years ago.
An investigation into Vickers also led to a criminal complaint against his brother, David, in May. The complaint said David, a truck driver, sexually abused boys as young as nine on several occasions and took them across state lines and into Canada. David Vickers was taken into federal custody and pleaded not guilty in May.
Orders of protection were given for all five alleged victims.
Sean Vickers is due back in court on Jan. 22. His lawyer did not want to comment on the charges.

Lawton, OKLA_Four Lawton residents are behind bars Saturday after a drug bust in Northwest Lawton Friday morning.
It happened at a house on the 800-block of Northwest Bell around 9 A.M.
While serving a search warrant at the house, detectives found four people inside, drugs and drug paraphernalia.
Police say Julie Wilson tried to swallow almost two grams of meth during the bust.
Detectives say as they were searching the house, Jeff Fite drove up and got out of his car. When officers told him to get down on the ground, he tried to get back in his car but was detained by police.
Police arrested all four, who are now facing several charges including drug possession and resisting an officer.

Hello all,
Just curious: do the Mystic Weapons require crafting expertise in order to be built, or can you buy the materials off of the TP and just combine them in the Mystic Forge? As an example, if I am building the Mystic Claymore, the recipe is:
5x Orichalcum Blades
5x Orichalcum Hilts
30x Mystic Coins
1x Eldritch Scroll
Can I simply purchase the Orichalcum Blades and Orichalcum Hilts off the TP, put in my own Coins and Scroll and get the weapon? Just wanted to confirm before I make an investment into the components.

The Brandon presents
The Manifest Destiny Billboard Project
Chapter #4: Eve Fowler
Saturday, June 21, 2014 beginning at 6pm
(Los Angeles Nomadic Division) is proud to present the fourth chapter of billboards as
part of The Manifest Destiny Billboard Project featuring the work of Eve Fowler in Houston, TX from June 21st to July 2014. A reading and opening reception will be held at The Brandon (1709 Westheimer Road Houston, Texas 77098) from 6-8pm on Saturday, June 21, 2014.
The Manifest Destiny Billboard Project is a series of artist-produced billboards and activations that will unfold along Interstate 10 Freeway from Florida to California through spring 2015. The project was conceived by artist Zoe Crosher and is co-curated by the artist and LAND's Director and Curator, Shamim M. Momin. Using the concept of Manifest Destiny - America's territorial expansion across North America - the artists will explore this problematic and layered history.
Using approximately 100 billboards total, 10 artists will create "chapter" groupings along I-10, each a unique interpretive link to the exhibition's thematic. The billboards will move through and punctuate the landscape by tracing territorial expansion from east to west, along one of the country's busiest freeways, concluding in Los Angeles. The billboards will be activated through various events, programs, and social media outlets for dialogue and interaction with local communities.
Crosher writes, "The intention is to give a physicalized reminder of this extraordinarily influential (and often times destructive) 19th century belief which unabashedly dictated the expansion west, that still dictates our movement west, and to gently place/implicate/remind the people
unknowingly participating in that landscape along the way." Momin adds, "By physically moving through and mapping the very landscape that has been so fantasized, dreamed about, and capitalized upon in a breadth of positive and negative ways, the artists have the opportunity to
address their work to the idea in a variety of ways – opaque or direct, tangential or political, macro and micro."
The project launched on October 20, 2013 in Jacksonville, FL with billboards by Los Angeles-based artist Shana Lutker entitled Onward and Upward. Participating artists include John Baldessari, Sanford Biggers, Matthew Brannon, Zoe Crosher, Eve Fowler, Shana Lutker, Jeremy Shaw, Daniel R. Small, Bobbi Woods, and Mario Ybarra Jr.
Eve Fowler's chapter of The Manifest Destiny Billboard Project, entitled it is so, is it so, depicts excerpts of text from Bee Time Vine and Tender Buttons by seminal 20th century author Gertrude Stein. Fowler began sourcing Stein's texts in her work in 2010 and has evolved
this body of work in various iterations, one of which being a series of posters with Stein quotes placed along public streets in Los Angeles. Fowler states, "I'm interested in the multiple reads a viewer could have seeing this text in public. I'm also interested in making something that is
accessible to everyone, or at least a very broad audience. I see this language as queer, in both senses of the word, but I think it is open-ended and could be interpreted in various ways." Through isolating these quotes from their original context and reproducing them on a large scale, Fowler poetically introduces them into a dialogue with the Texas landscape as residents and travelers move throughout their day with quotes such as, "in the morning there is meaning", "In the evening there is feeling." and "How sweet are suns and suns. And the season. The sea or the
season, and the roads." The open-ended gestures lure travelers westward and encourage them to pause and contemplate their space, existence, and destiny. For more information and a downloadable map of the billboards, please visit nomadicdivision.org.
In addition to the billboards, free lending libraries in truck stops, hardware stores, and coffee shops will feature books to borrow or take that relate to the quotations on the billboards and Stein's life, the majority being Modernist literature by contemporaries of Stein, such as
Virginia Woolf, Oscar Wilde, Thomas Mann, Marcel Proust, Henry James, Truman Capote, and Anne Carson. Each of these texts subtly explores gender identity, a crux of Fowler's practice as an artist.
Eve Fowler (b. 1964, Philadelphia, PA; lives and works in Los Angeles, CA) is an artist and photographer whose practice involves documenting and reproducing examinations of ambiguity and meaning, in gender, medium, or interpretation of text. Her work has been exhibited nationally
and internationally, at institutions such as MoMA, New York, NY; The New Museum, New York, NY; and The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA, among many others.

I love the song he picked out for your first dance. Our song is Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers. We dance to it no matter where we are. One time we were in the grocery store and the song played over their sound system. We danced in the aisle and everyone clapped.

There will be a lineup for those extra tickets to see Elton John! You'll have your pick of friends! I was just devising a scheme where I'd get the tickets, we'd drop K and N off at Gram's for the night and head out to see Elton. Sounds dream-like and I'm sure it is! Glad to hear that the Fan & Buddy are going too!

I wish I could go with you to see Elton. He still makes me weak in the knees-his songs are the ones that really bring back the memories and bring on the tears.

you picked a winner when you picked Veto - any man smart enough to want that as their first song is a man worth knowing! ... how I wish I had been a guest at that wedding. :)
cheers! & congrats on the tickets.

Sir Elton sold out in six minutes! We were very lucky to get tickets.

OCRemix Doubles the Trouble With Over 5 Hours of Donkey Kong Country 3 Remixes
The trilogy is finally complete.
Back in 2004, game remixing super-site, OverClocked ReMix showed their love to the music of Donkey Kong Country with Kong in Concert. Years later, the community banded together again along with composer, David Wise, himself to bring us an album of the sequel titled Serious Monkey Business. Now the eight year journey has come to an end.
OCR is back. David Wise is back. And Donkey Kong Country 3: Double the Trouble! is finally here. Covering both the Super Nintendo and Game Boy Advance versions of Donkey Kong Country 3, the album is practically bursting at the seams. 5 discs, 77 tracks, over 5 hours of music, and a barrel full of awesome. And as always, it's all free. Swing on over to the official site and grab it. (more…)
Giveaway: Win a Physical Copy of The OneUps' Intergalactic Continuum
The very fabric of the universe is in trouble and only the chosen one can save it. Will you bring balance to the intergalactic continuum? No? Well, would you like to win an album named Intergalactic Continuum? Good!
The OneUps, a band known for giving video game remixes a unique (and often funkalicious) flavor, have finally released their fifth album. Intergalactic Continuum marks the second album since the band's stylistic reboot and features a mix of songs from the early classics of Battletoads and Ikari Warriors to modern titles like Plants vs. Zombies.
We're giving away a sealed physical copy of the album to one lucky reader. All you have to do is comment on this post with a naming idea for The OneUps' next album starting with the word "Intergalactic". Before Intergalactic Continuum, they released Intergalactic Redux. What comes next? Read the full contest rules below and let us know!
Game Music Goes Co-Op with Stemage's Marble Madness Album
Grant Henry, known in the music scene as Stemage, really made a name for himself among game music enthusiasts when he created Metroid Metal. From there, the solo project turned into a full band production with the album Varia Suite.
With each release, Stemage showed an ever increasing mastery of metal performance and arrangement. After a few non-Metroid projects including a collection of Grandia II tracks and an original album focusing on rhythm guitar, Stemage returns with a slew of guest performers to bring us Where Good Marbles Go To Die.
The album features seven arrangements from the underappreciated gem, Marble Madness, each featuring a different guest artist. This rotating roster of contributors gives the album a nice sense of variety while still grounding itself with Stemage's consistent vision.
You can name your price for the digital album. But if you throw five or more dollars down, you can get a limited edition cassette tape. Don't worry, you will still get instant access to the digital album in addition to the nostalgic novelty of an obsolete medium. You can find both versions of Where Good Marbles Go To Die right now by rolling on over to Bandcamp.
OverClocked ReMix Gives the Unsung Heroes of Gaming Their Due
When it comes to the game music arrangement scene, people often remix what they know. For every reinterpretation of an obscure game's music, you're bound to find fifty Mega Man 2 or Chrono Trigger remixes. With their 32nd album release, OverClocked Remix is looking to tip the scale in favor of games a bit off the beaten path.
Unsung Heroes shines the spotlight on fifteen often ignored games including Secret of Evermore, Bahamut Lagoon, Breath of Fire II, and Legacy of the Wizard. Level 99 (one of the album's assistant directors) notes on the album's official site that each source tune holds a special meaning to the musician involved, making it a rather personal remix album.
Be sure to check out the trailer below and head on over to the official site to download the free album. With a theme like this, you might just find a new soundtrack or two to check out along the way. (more…)

Metroid Gets Arranged by Some Seriously Bad Dudes
If you thought we were done paying tribute to the 25th anniversary of Metroid, well… then you haven't met the Bad Dudes. They don't play by our rules. They don't celebrate when we celebrate. But they do make music that will save the galaxy.
I'm talking about the same dudes that brought you the fantastic CHRONOTORIOUS album and fought the OverClocked ReMix community in musical combat. We are talking about some seriously bad dudes here. Dudes so bad they were commissioned by Samus herself to make the Metroid Arrange 25th Anniversary Album (if their totally rad trailer below is to be believed).
OCRemix's BadAss Boss Battle Themes Album Brings Baditude Back
A good video game boss theme is a lot like a good video game boss: it will punch you in the face in the best possible way. These are the themes of the baddest of the bad. Their baditude knows no bounds.
But even bad guys deserve their dues. That's exactly why OverClocked ReMix is paying tribute to these vicious villains with a totally badass remix album appropriately titled BadAss Boss Battle Themes. But not just any style of music would do. These had to be the most dark, gritty, downright evil mixes forged into mp3 (and FLAC) files.
What does that translate to? Well, mostly heavy metal. But there's also some really mean electronica and even an epic orchestral Mega Man 3 arrangement. You may think you've heard your share of "One Winged Angel" remixes already, but you've probably never heard one that channels the hard hitting beats and abrasive synths of early Justice tracks like PrototypeRaptor's mix does.
Indie Game Composers Pay Tribute to the 25YEARLEGEND of Zelda
Continuing the deluge of 25th anniversary game albums of 2011 comes a tribute to The Legend of Zelda. No, not the symphonic concert series CD packaged with Skyward Sword. This one is far more eclectic (not to mention free).
25YEARLEGEND reinterprets memorable tunes from all across the franchise including some of Link's less covered, portable adventures like Link's Awakening and Oracle of Seasons. It's a loving tribute to the music of a series that inspired each of the indie (and not so indie) game composers involved. Disasterpeace (Fez), Laura Shigihara (Plants vs. Zombies), C418 (Minecraft), Souleye (VVVVVV), and Big Giant Circles (Mass Effect 2) are just a few of the talented contributing artists.
Vampire Variations Album Pays Tribute to 25 Years of Castlevania
2011 will be forever known as the year every game ever had its 25th anniversary. To celebrate the incredibly dense history of Castlevania (which I'm pretty sure consists of 1.2 hojillion games), a group of talented fans have put together a remix album to celebrate the occasion.
Vampire Variations reinvents the soundtrack of the NES classic while taking a few additional elements from throughout the series. Listen to only half the album and you'll get the wrong ending! Divided into two distinct musical acts, the album covers everything from "Rock and Orchestral to Jazz and Electronic".
But don't worry. Unlike Dracula's castle, you won't have to do anything fancy to unlock the inverted second act of this album. Just grab a whip and adventure into the album's official site. Of course, if you're too scared to walk in blind (and who can blame you?), you can prepare yourself with the teaser trailer below.
Super Dodge Ball Remix Album Mixes Styles From Around the World
Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the Kunio-kun series, OverClocked ReMix has just released an arrange album of Super Dodge Ball (the first of many Kunio sports games). Of course, this timing is probably more coincidence as the album has been in the works (to varying degrees) for a whopping seven years.
The aim of Super Dodge Ball: Around the World was to take Kazuo Sawa's original score and reinterpret in a variety of ethnic styles. With an interesting hybrid of world music combined with, rock, trance, and symphonic music, I think it's safe to say they succeeded. They even got MegaRan to perform on the obligatory rap song.

The Hotel nestles in rolling countryside 200 metres from the River Esk, world famous for its salmon and trout fishing.
A former Coaching Inn, the hotel was built in the mid 1800s. As a Grade 3 Listed Building, it still retains original charm and character although tastefully modernized: all guest rooms have en-suite facilities, central heating, flat screen TVs, and tea/coffee making facilities.
Standing in an acre of grounds, the Marykirk Hotel has a landscaped beer garden plus a small front car park and a rear car park for 20+ cars. Both car parks are monitored by CCTV and the hotel is used regularly by Vintage Car clubs.
The Hotel has a full Hotel Licence and a Children's Licence. Families with children are particularly welcome in both the bar and restaurant.
As well as our cosy Stables Bar serving bar meals every lunchtime and evenings, the Marykirk's Esk Restaurant seats 35 persons and is open in the evenings from Friday to Sundays, offering quality dining at reasonable prices.

Internships Guidelines
The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) provides the following internship definition and criteria. More Info: NACE Internships An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for career paths; and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent.
NACE Seven Criteria for Internships
- The experience must be an extension of the classroom: a learning experience that provides for applying the knowledge gained in the classroom. It must not be simply to advance the operations of the employer or be the work that a regular employee would routinely perform.
- The skills or knowledge learned must be transferable to other employment settings.
- The experience has a defined beginning and end, and a job description with desired qualifications.
- There are clearly defined learning objectives/goals related to the professional goals of the student's academic coursework.
- There is supervision by a professional with expertise and educational and/or professional background in the field of the experience.
- There is routine feedback by the experienced supervisor.
- There are resources, equipment, and facilities provided by the host employer that support learning objectives/goals.
Academic Credit for Internships
Decisions regarding whether or not a student will be able to receive academic or practical experience credit for an internship are made only at the academic departmental / advisor level. The student is responsible for initiating the application for academic credit with the academic level. Most academic credit internships have learning guidelines and agreements.

Does Linux work with a Lexmark Printer?
Does Linux work with a Lexmark Printer?
I have a Lexmark x125 printer because originally my computer had Windows XP as an operating system. Now I am using Ubuntu.
Are there any reliable print drivers that will work with a Lexmark x125 printer or will I have to reload Windows XP back on my comuter?
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

DULUTH, MN (KDAL) - After receiving several complaints about snow removal since the snow on Sunday, the Duluth Police Department is again reminding citizens that it is illegal to remove snow from your property and place it on city streets, sidewalks, alleys or other public grounds. They are asking for cooperation from the public to minimize the need for enforcement of that city ordinance.

Julie Batten | April 25, 2011 | Comments
How to go about determining which keywords are right for your business to bid on.
Arguably, one of the most important basics of search marketing is selecting the right keywords.
For that reason, I wanted to address how you go about determining which keywords are right for your business to "bid" on, and which you should leave for the less savvy of your competitors.
I sometimes forget that I write a Search 101 column, and perhaps lean more toward writing about the industry trends like mobile search or what's new and hot with Google. That said, for some of you out there just getting into search marketing, you may be like, forget about the new stuff, I just need to get the basics right! So, here we go.
Wear Your Customer's Shoes
The first place you should start when thinking about keywords is to put yourself in your customer's shoes. What are their wants/needs? What might they be looking for?
Many businesses get caught up in the way they think about things or do things internally. For example, if you know all your products by product number or SKU, that's how you will refer to them. Product No. AV1872 might mean something to you, but to your customers, it probably doesn't mean much. Getting caught up in industry jargon is a common error. You might refer to one of your products as "enterprise IT security software," but your customers may think of them as "anti-virus software."
The best way to get in the shoes – and minds – of your customers is to do a little informal market research. Ask your customers how they would describe your products or services to a friend. If you are unable or unwilling to ask your customers, try any external stakeholders. Suppliers, vendors, partners, advisors – all of these individuals may be able to bring a perspective that you can't necessarily see being "on the inside." This will help you build an initial list of keywords to use in your keyword research.
Another important approach is to let the data tell you what they're thinking. You can do this in two ways:
Make Sure the Shoes Fit
When undertaking keyword research, the goal is to uncover as many keywords as possible. That said, you also want to make sure you do some editing along the way. Just because you uncover 5,000 keywords, doesn't mean they will all make sense for your business. Weeding out irrelevant or inappropriate keywords at the start will save you spending on ineffective terms later on.
Keywords you generally want to avoid (using our enterprise IT protection example):
The best way to determine whether a keyword makes sense or not is to think about relevancy and specificity – if you typed this term into the search engine, what are the various types of products or services you might expect to see in the results? If you can count more than a few, it might not be specific or relevant enough of a keyword.
Of course, if you're on the fence about a keyword, you can always include it in your account and test it out. You'll want to keep a keen eye on its performance to avoid allocating too much of your budget into this term. I usually recommend setting up a separate campaign for these "test" keywords so that you can easily control investment into them and easily view performance separate from your core campaign.
Once you've weeded out the obvious terms, you want to think about terms you may have missed in your search.
Keywords that are often overlooked (again, keeping with the example):
Keep Your Shoes Polished
Of course, the initial setup of the campaign should not be the only time you undertake keyword research and selection. This should be an iterative process over time.
Running regular performance reports to determine which keywords are working and which are not will help you refine and enhance your approach over time. That said, every so often you may want to go back to the drawing board and re-do your initial research to see if anything's changed. Particularly if your industry changes quickly, if you've added any new products to your line-up, or your customer base has changed, you will want to revisit your keywords to see if they are still appropriate. Some refinements may be needed along the way to keep your campaign performing its best.

An MSNBC anchor caused controversy with a recent promo. In it she said we have to get past the notion that kids belong to their parents or families, but instead to the entire community. Here's what you had to say about it.
Martin first: "Parents need to be encouraged to take more responsibility for their children. Not be fed some silly notion that their children are everyone's responsibility."
Michael writes: "I think the point of what she said is that the citizens of a country are a shared asset, for better or worse."
And Jill adds: "I think she's just reiterating an earlier message "it takes a village." I don't think kids "belong" to parents, like ownership."
But Wes says: "This isn't about taking care of children, or running businesses. This is about CONTROL! Kelly just who do you think the "community as a whole" will be?"
From Debbie: "I don't see anything here suggesting that parents are not responsible, only that we all should participate."
Howard says: "I hear more socialism at work!"
And Rita says: "She makes me worried!"
Finally Gary writes: "Your children do not belong to you, they belong to US (government) and we will do a better job raising them than you can! Sadly a lot of elected officials would agree."

Lady Knight Soccer Plays Inspired Match at Midway
The Lady Knight Soccer squad traveled to Midway College today to take on the Eagles. It was a cold day, and spirits were not high because the Lady Knights had only 10 healthy players available to play the match. Things did not look good.
The match started as expected, with Midway taking control of the ball and field. At the end of the first half, Midway had taken 13 shots, 6 of them on-goal, and had scored 3 times. KCU had been held to 3 shots total, only 2 of which were on-goal, and both of which were saved. Midway had taken 3 corner kicks to KCU's single attempt.
But at the half, a rousing speech by Coach Miller sparked the Lady Knights, and they came back to the pitch knowing that they could compete against this time, even if with only 10 players on the field. And compete they did. Erin Dillow scored quickly, bringing the score to 1-3. She scored again right away on a penalty kick; 2-3, and KCU was in the hunt. There was a great deal of back-and-forth, and Midway scored late in the 76th minute, extending their lead to 4-2. But Erin Dillow and the Lady Knights were not finished, and Dillow completed the hat trick on a goal assisted by Kelsey Thomas. 4-3. Midway scored again to take the score to 5-3, but before time was completed, the Lady Knights put another point on the board when Kelsey Thomas scored unassisted with only minutes remaining in the game. Final score Midway 5; KCU 4. Midway took 27 shots, 12 of which were on-goal, and had 7 corner kicks. Their keeper was credited with 2 saves. KCU took only 7 shots, but 6 were on-goal, and they earned 4 corner kicks.
While they came up a bit short, and completed their season with a 5-4 loss and a 2-12 record, Coach Miller and the Lady Knight soccer squad are excited and ready for regionals next weekend in Knoxville, TN. They will play regional host Johnson University on Friday at 12 noon.

Laid Back Lich King3
Today we headed back into ICC25 to kill the LK after the troubles we had last week. With almost a full raid, he died with minimal effort getting lots of achievements for people, including the first kill for some. Cool and I even managed to get Neck-Deep in Vile :)
Here are some of the highlights from our short raid.
I've never taken any shots on this fight before but with such a laid back raid, it was a great opportunity. I mean who knows when I'll be back again? I also managed to catch up with a few other new bloggers, including Cuppy and Shoryl.
Laid Back and Then Some3
September 20, 2012
by Cymre in Blog Azeroth
Last weekend I headed back into ICC25 for the latest LBR. It started off shakily as Coolidge had issues with his connection but there were quite a few who had technical issues by the end of it. I didn't expect so many new faces but I was excited to see the ones I've known for almost a year now.
At least I managed to get a shot of Coolidge before we lost him for the rest of the raid.
Before entering the Blood Queens room, it was hard to miss this bug. The hatch was missing (at least visually) as no one fell through but it sure looked odd.
I didn't expect to get this one as there were quite a few I was missing but it was a surprise none-the-less, esp. since I was iced at the time. Bittersweet though as Coolidge wasn't there to share it with me.
Here we were waiting on the LK platform before we called it since we lost about half the members due to sleep or server issues.
Laid Back Raid Takes On Gruul12
Today was my second Laid Back Raid with the blogger crew on Horde side and I was pleased to see a larger showing compared to the one I did last month. I was excited to finally meet Tome in pixel form and even Repgrind was there :) First on the Agenda was Kara followed by Gruul's Lair.
Here's a shot of the group just before our first pull. With this many people, it's no surprise that we cleared the way to Prince very quickly.
With a quick portal to Shatt, we headed over to Gruul's Lair adding two more to the group.
By the time Gruul carked it, we lost a few to sleep but the ones who remained decided to go to Mag and then TK.
Even before the fight had ended, Arv dropped his disco ball and started dancing. Unfortunately, one hearthed prematurely but he was there in spirit.
I was excited to pick up a few great transmog items. First of all, my Malefic Girdle dropped which was a great start. I also managed to get the T5 recoloured helm – Crown of the Sun, as well as the Talisman of the Sun King. You can be sure, I'll be using that sometime soon :)
Thx everyone, it was fun :)
