In its recent third quarter reporting, the company posted a 7% decrease in user engagement and a slide in growth of monthly active users: growth increased 23%, but that was down from 24% posted in the second quarter of 2014 and down from 38% reported in the third quarter of 2013. Consequently, Twitter's stock price has fallen in recent weeks, and the S&P downgraded Twitter's debt to junk status, describing the company's risk as significant. So, how did it come to this? Where did Twitter go wrong, and, more importantly, what can it do to right the ship and recruit new users?

Dartmouth-Hitchcock is a national leader in evidence-based and patient-centered healthcare. The system includes hundreds of physicians, specialists, and other providers who work together at different locations to meet the healthcare needs of patients in northern New England. In addition to primary care services at local community practices, Dartmouth-Hitchcock patients have access to specialists in almost every area of medicine, as well as world-class research at the Audrey and Theodor Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and centers of excellence including The Dartmouth Institute for Health Policy & Clinical Practice. http://www.dartmouth-hitchcock.org
With more than 6,500 employees, a number of locations, and a broad mandate, managers at Dartmouth-Hitchcock health care system are responsible for a steady and diverse stream of projects at any given time. Dartmouth-Hitchcock's interim director of content and publications, communications and marketing, Ryan Newswanger, supervises a wide range of short and long-term web projects at any given time. His team was using a content management system and basic project management software to keep track of the team's activities, but was struggling to keep projects on track and on time. Newswanger felt his team constantly risked missing deadlines. He decided that deeper insights were needed into the entire scope of the projects he managed in order to better meet deadlines, but also to set realistic goals and project requirements.
Founded in 2006 and headquartered in Bellevue, WA, LiquidPlanner is collaborative online project management software. LiquidPlanner provides a shared framework for goal-setting and the ability to more transparently communicate task and project status, while intelligently and efficiently aggregating information and data for managers. By optimizing employee productivity around prioritized tasks, LiquidPlanner allows companies to more efficiently meet corporate and strategic objectives.
The Problem in Depth
A homegrown system worked "well enough" when he had a team of four to manage periodic website launches and updates, according to Ryan Newswanger, the interim director of content and publications, communications and marketing at Dartmouth-Hitchcock healthcare system. However, when his team was faced with porting 15,000 pages of content from one content management system to another-along with an information architecture overhaul-Newswanger started to lose sleep at night.
While he doesn't come from a project management background, Newswanger had segmented this daunting undertaking into nine discrete "chunks" to organize the project. By the end of the second chunk, he says, "we could see it wasn't going to work." He had problems "coordinating schedules and we had some hairy launches. Some people were upset and we didn't like the feeling of flying by the seat of our pants."
As LiquidPlanner CEO and co-founder Charles Seybold describes it, "they had a lot on their plates and they had no quantitative or analytical piece in their solution so they lived in constant fear of missing deadlines. They were living day-to-day in a high stress environment."

Amazon SLASHES hosted database prices
Just a week after the service became generally available, Amazon has slashed the cost of running databases in its cloud by as much as 27 per cent, putting pressure on rivals to do the same.

Re: Cloud - GET SPIED ON - AWS, Google, AZURE, hell even just Windows
You will still (probably) get spied on if you use Amazon's MySQL service (as opposed to one of the proprietary databases)
Whereas if you run your own instance of Oracle or SQL Server, you'd notice pretty quickly if it started opening connections to the NSA.
Granted there could plausibly be as-yet-unused backdoors in the proprietary databases, but IN THIS ARTICLE, EADON, It's about who hosts it, not what's hosted.
Re: Cloud - GET SPIED ON - AWS, Google, AZURE, hell even just Windows
Yeah, I always look forward to reading through the entire codebase before choosing an operating system. Then a bit of compilation before use.
well I was just going to say...
exactly what the others have said but it highlights the problem facing all "cloud" vendors.
PRISM has dealt a serious blow to their marketing strategies and Amazon is not on the offical PRISM list but can anyone trust anything now.

Determined to overcome doubters, Huskies' Tre Watson goes from walk-on to starter
Cornerback Tre Watson goes from being a walk-on last year to being a starter and winning a UW scholarship.
Seattle Times staff reporter
San Diego St. @ UW, 7:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network
Tre Watson held no grudges when Washington told him no the first time.
Washington, he knew, was hardly alone in initially questioning if he could play Division I football.
Washington State, Montana State, Boise State and Eastern Washington were among those who also gave Watson a look during his days as a standout running back and defensive back at Kennedy High and ultimately passed.
"Everybody tries to be perfect in recruiting," said UW coach Steve Sarkisian. "(But) you miss sometimes."
Proof that everyone did indeed strike out on Watson came this week when Washington released its depth chart for Saturday's season opener against San Diego State and Watson was listed as a starter at cornerback.
The designation capped what Watson calls "a long journey" to achieve a goal he said never dimmed, even in the face of the initial rejection.
"It's the dream for every college football player to play at this level," Watson said.
It's a dream Watson kept alive when he left Kennedy without any four-year offers. He decided instead in the fall of 2009 to attend West Hills College in Coalinga, Calif., where he starred as a defensive back and kick returner.
That led to a scholarship offer from Central Washington, where Watson became a starter as a sophomore in 2010. He was happy enough there, but the dream lingered.
And his success in Ellensburg only further convinced him he had what it took to play at the Division I level.
So after that season, Watson enrolled at UW, then contacted Washington coaches about walking on.
The reasoning, he said, was simple enough.
"It was the hometown team, one I always wanted to play for," he said.
Watson was forced to sit out last season due to transfer rules, but immediately caught the eye of coaches with his play on the scout team.
"He just had a knack for making plays and being around the ball," Sarkisian said.
That continued in the spring when Watson began working regularly with the UW defense, quickly becoming a factor in the competition along with junior Greg Ducre, a part-time starter in 2011, and touted redshirt freshman Marcus Peters as the starter opposite Desmond Trufant.
"He has a very, very high football IQ," Sarkisian said. "The guy gets the game of football."
And that, Sarkisian said, helps Watson make up for what he may lack in stature — Watson is listed at 5 feet 9, 183 pounds. It's that height that was among the reasons many schools initially passed on Watson at Kennedy.
Watson, though, never really doubted.
Growing up, he played with and against a lot of players who went on to the Division I level, including Kennedy teammate Nolan Washington, who ended up signing with Washington State, and Kasen Williams, a combatant in summer-league passing tournaments.
"My teammates from the beginning have welcomed me, so I never have questioned it," he said. "Guys ... have always been on me from day one that it doesn't matter if I am a walk-on or not, I am going to be accountable."
Watson said he has been imagining what it will feel like Saturday to take the field for the first time as a Husky. He said last year simply putting on a jersey on game day and standing on the sideline was "a beautiful thing."
Even better was the news this week that Watson had been awarded a scholarship.
"That says a lot about his character," Sarkisian said.
All of it — the starting spot, the scholarship — might have been enough to cause Watson to feel some vindication. Watson, though, said that's never what any of this was about.
"It's just about my own personal goals," he said, "and taking this opportunity and making the most of it."
• WR Kevin Smith, coming off an ACL injury suffered before the Alamo Bowl, practiced again, and Sarkisian said he is expected to play against San Diego State.

By: Kai Porter, KOB Eyewitness News 4
ALBUQUERQUE -- A North Dakota businessman traveling through Albuquerque found his truck, which he usually leaves at the Holiday Inn near the airport while traveling, sitting on bricks without any wheels when he came back to town.
"It had been sitting in the Holiday Inn parking lot for about ten days," said John Van Dam, who says his work truck is usually fine while he is out of town.
But this time, the rims and tires were gone, and it won't be cheap to replace them.
"The estimate was approximately $2800 to replace the tires and rims," Van Dam said.
So instead of working, Van Dam spent the day at Galles Chevrolet waiting for new tires. The dealership put a set of temporary ones on in the meantime.
"About once a month we see something like this," said Ted Schlote of Galles Chevrolet. "People either steal them off our lots, or they take them off parking lots, the university, or hotels. It's real common."
"I have some people coming in on a plane this afternoon I'm supposed to pick up, and hopefully I'll still be able to pick them up. It's a challenge, but we'll make it work," Van Dam said.
The dealership's service manager says it's a good idea to install two sets of wheel locks to keep it from happening to you.
"It makes [the wheels] harder to get off; one's not even enough," Schlote said.
The dealership says it can take an experience thief only 10-15 minutes to steel your tires.
Albuquerque police told KOB they didn't have numbers for how often this happens in the city.

If the organisers of Nightrider fulfil their aim they'll raise £2 million in one night. You can help by taking to the streets of London by bike on a moonlit night and riding past some of the city's iconic landmarks while raising money for charity. The 100km route which begins at Crystal Palace or Alexandra Place - you can choose which starting point suits you - is not for beginners but anyone with a reasonable level of fitness and confidence on the road can take part. Cycling past sights like Tower Bridge, St Paul's Cathedral and the London Eye while the city sleeps is one way of putting the 'fun' in fundraising.
About Alexandra Palace
After a shaky start - destroyed by fire 16 days after 'The People's Palace' first opened in 1873 - Alexandra Palace re-opened again two years later becoming the place from where the BBC beamed its first broadcast in 1935. The palace title maybe a little misleading - it's charm being more shabby chic than regal. More about Alexandra Palace

|I guess that means that, since they already announced that OVA episodes would be released up to Volume 18 of To Love-Ru, that'll also end up being the last volume for the series. We can probably assume that those OVA episodes will cover the ending as well, but I guess we'll see.

The Mad Manga Massacre
Posts: 914
|Was/Will Freesia be made into a live-action film? I read that it was/will be, on Wikipedia, but the information given is not necessarily always accurate. I was unaware of the fact that there was an anime adaptation of Noramimi. Perhaps I should check it out sometime... are the episodes short (3-5 minutes) or full length (19-25 minutes)? Also, hope these series are licensed in English in the near future as I have been curious about each of them for some time. Though my interest with To-Love-Ru is waning. Does the manga adaptation of To-Love-Ru have the level of fanservice the anime version has?

from the few episodes of the anime for TLR and the OVA episodes
the manga has a little less fanservice and it isn't as bad as the anime was with it. The anime went off in to filler land half the time from what I know

To Love-Ru ending? Well, I couldn't care less or more.
The author did a splendid job elonging the manga with useless fillers and throwing girls everywhere and here to the main character. The manga was like Black Cat with gratuitious panty and near-naked body shots, minus the action and a deep storyline.
I wonder what the next manga will be... It sure won't be disappointing, to say the least.
Speaking of disappointment: Nobuhiro Watsuki!
What the hell! Get on with the flow on the generation! Go moe! Or an action title again... minus the wacky sci-fi element.

I am surprised To Love-Ru lasted as long as it did, but the ending is apparantly very sudden and rushed, and there are rumours surrounding the situation. Well... I hope Yabuki is okay, and that if he makes a next series, it'll be... better. I enjoyed Black Cat, even if it wasn't exactly an outstanding title...
And... Embalming is as moe as Watsuki has ever been, if you ask me.

By DENISE LAVOIE
NORTHAMPTON, Mass. — For more than two years, supporters of former University of Massachusetts student Jason Vassell have urged prosecutors to drop charges against him that stemmed from a racially charged fight and sparked protests, demonstrations and accusations of bias.
On Friday, prosecutors agreed to do just that, if Vassell serves the rest of his 2 1/2-year pretrial probation, which ends in August.
To Vassell's supporters, the decision to end the case against Vassell is a clear victory.
"If you are a black man in a dormitory and someone is yelling racial epithets at you … you just do what you think is right, and that's what Jason did," said Jasmin Torrejon, a member of Justice for Jason, a group of UMass students, professors and others who supported him.
The case sparked passionate rallies in support of the biology major from Boston, and accusations of racism against prosecutors and police.
Prosecutors, while acknowledging that race was a factor in the fight between Vassell and the two white men he fought with, said race played no role in their decision to bring charges against Vassell.
"It did not play a part in this case," Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Dunphy Farris said.
After the agreement was announced in Hampshire Superior Court, the 26-year-old Vassell hugged and thanked a large group of supporters, but declined to speak to reporters.
His lawyer, David Hoose, said Vassell has had a clean record and "done everything he should do" while he has been on pretrial probation for the last 2 years and 4 months.
"For 2 1/2 years, he has proven himself to be the man that we told them he was," Hoose said.
Although Hoose maintained that Vassell did not admit guilt, Dunphy Farris cited the written agreement between Vassell and prosecutors, in which he acknowledges that he stabbed John Bowes and Jonathan Bosse and that he had "other options" he could have chosen, but did not.
"He signed an acknowledgment of regret," Dunphy Farris said.
She said prosecutors, in agreeing to pretrial probation, considered medical records that showed he was intoxicated and suffered a broken nose in the fight. She also cited Vassell's school records, which she would not disclose. Together, she said, "those stressors bore on his state of mind" when he stabbed the two men.
"I think it's a fair resolution based on all the facts and circumstances of this case," she said.
After the hearing, an 11-minute video of the fight was made public. The video, captured by two security cameras inside the dorm's lobby, shows Vassell, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and ski mask, and carrying a knife.
The video shows the three men arguing as Vassell's friend attempts to stand between Vassell and Bowes and Bosse. It shows Bowes punch Vassell in the upper body, then Vassell stabbing Bowes repeatedly. It also shows Vassell stab Bosse as he tries to help Bowes.
Prosecutors originally charged Vassell with armed assault with intent to murder. But a grand jury indicted him on a reduced charge of aggravated assault and battery with a dangerous weapon.
Both Bowes and Bosse required emergency surgery. Dunphy Farris said both men have endured what she called an "unwarranted" attack on their character.
Prosecutors acknowledged that Bowes and Bosse, on campus to visit friends, were drunk early the morning of Feb. 3, 2008, and that Bowes shouted racial slurs. Bowes, of Hancock, N.H., was convicted of misdemeanor disorderly conduct but acquitted of a civil rights violation and given a year of probation. Bosse was not charged.
Vassell told police he was in his ground-floor dorm room with friends when the two men tapped on his window to ask for directions. He said that after an argument broke out, the two men smashed his window and taunted him with racial insults. Vassell, feeling threatened, called a friend from a neighboring dorm for help.
He said he grabbed a knife and went to his dorm lobby to open the door for his friend. When he did, the two white men came in looking for the stairwell to get to their friend's room and the fight broke out.
Vassell left UMass after being charged and now lives in Boston, where he has been working for his father's electrical company.

Some students were shocked when the news broke about the October 14 incident in which University of Massachusetts Amherst sophomore Josh Odam found the graffiti, "Kill these n—-" on the door of his room in Coolidge, in Southwest. Chancellor Kumble R. Subbaswamy who spoke at an emergency meeting two days later, said this hate crime "shocked" him, as well.
But it is only shocking to those who are removed from campus life at UMass or are privileged enough to have race left out of daily conversation and experiences.
Sheena Jeune, a member of the Black Student Union who attended the emergency meeting, agreed that UMass Amherst wasn't so inclusive. "Ferguson may be in Missouri, but I feel that it's right here as well," she said.
At the moment, increased publicity around race at UMass Amherst has highlighted the reality of students of color at UMass. The question now is , how can a community move forward after students of color have voiced their feelings about being ignored, unappreciated and even hated? After attending the emergency meeting, rally, and following up on the events of the town hall meeting on Oct. 17, I've identified five ways the university can talk about race openly, honestly, and help make the community feel safe for all students. I'd love to hear your thoughts.
1. Do not consider this an isolated incident
Most students of color on this campus have been in the uncomfortable situation like I was in during my freshman year. As the only student of color in the class, I noted in a class discussion that it was hard to make friends on campus, but that students of color felt alienated on campus. I had hoped to generate a conversation about the issue with my fellow white students. But nothing happened. Instead, the class moved on, and an opportunity to talk about an issue of importance was missed.
The only way to effectively combat ignorance is to acknowledge that it does exist, even at supposedly liberal institutions of higher learning. Students of color aren't just "pulling the race card," whatever that means, when they say that their college experience is filled with stress fueled by racial differences. The term to describe how these differences may shape life experiences, like college, is called intersectionality. Factors such as sex, class and race can make one student feel excluded, while some may never have to consider it. If we want to talk about race, the first step is admitting that this happens to students of color regularly.
2. Admit more students of color.
The Daily Collegian recently published an article that said that in 2013, African American students account for 4 percent of the student population, in comparison to the 78 percent of white students. Black students account for the lowest minority population at UMass, along with Native American students who weren't represented at all.
UMass Amherst cannot screen students for bigotry, but it can change the racial dynamic on campus by actively recruiting more black students. Higher minority enrollments would help more students of color feel less alienated and add to a community with a bigger variety of lived experiences. For many white students from the suburbs of Boston or New York, UMass is the first place they meet people of color. There's opportunity here for learning about other cultures. Maija Hall, a student and member of the Center for Education Policy & Advocacy (CEPA) said that, upon coming to college, her first roommate was white.
"I think it was good for her," she said. "She had never lived with anyone of color, let alone black," she said.
3. Make sure faculty and staff know how to handle talking about race
We shouldn't just assume everyone knows how to identify micro aggressions and talk about race without offense or speak for underrepresented students. Graduate student Armanthia Duncan said that teachers needed help addressing these issues, not just in social settings, but in the classroom.
"What are you going to do about the fact that it's hard for us here now?" said Duncan. "You talk about undergraduate students but you didn't mention anything about diversity of faculty –When I deal with micro aggressions in the classroom, where do I go?"
One way to address racism is to hire more faculty of color like Duncan suggested, but also ongoing training teachers, residential assistants and staff at the university on how to talk about race. A course or orientation, similar to the Student Activities Office's student leadership training seminar, should be available to help teachers and staff. The material should go over the concept of white privilege, how to be an ally, and how to address racial tension and micro/macro aggressions in conversation. The university should reach out to resources on campus such as the Center for Women & Community and the Center for Multicultural Advancement and of Student Success (CMASS), who address racism through workshops and training.
4. Students shouldn't have to take the lead
At the October 16 forum, Chancellor Subbaswammy said that he needed students' help to combat racism. But the reality is, the university itself should be leading. If UMass Amherst is serious about making sure that all students feel like they matter, the administration must exercise more aggressive leadership on this issue. Ethno stress, a term used to describe the feeling of "powerlessness and hopelessness" because of the added pressures of being a person of color in a predominantly white space, shifts more of a burden on to students of color. It's a stress that UMass students of color don't need. Retention is a big issue for UMass administrators; with a safe and supportive environment, students of color will stay at UMass and thrive.
5. Stop making excuses
It's not easy eradicating racism, and we'll all make mistakes. Like everyplace else, UMass Amherst is home to people with racist attitudes, and some who will act on them. What the university cannot afford to do however, is wait for another hate crime to happen to address the problem with racial diversity.

In a recent interview promoting his new film "The Equalizer," actor Denzel Washington said his dream role would be to play James Bond. Fans have been talking about it on Twitter with the hashtag#DenzelisJamesBond. In a lot of ways, the role would make sense for Washington. He has all the qualities of a good Bond: he's handsome, sophisticated, and tough. But three things would make this casting choice a game changer: he's almost 60, he's American, and he's black.
Most of the response that I've found to this idea in social media has been positive. I think race is actually the least controversial aspect of his casting, despite the fact that all six previous Bonds have been white. The problem with Washington is that he's American, and he's too old. But Denzel opens the door for another game changing choice that's even better: Idris Elba, known for his roles in "Luther," "The Wire," "Prometheus," "Pacific Rim," and the "Thor" series.
Unlike Superman, who, as a comic book character, had a distinct physical appearance, James Bond, as a character from a spy novel, has gone through six casting choices since the first film in 1962.
People complained when a blond Daniel Craig was cast as 007, despite all his predecessors having black hair. But Craig proved that the color of his hair didn't matter; "Casino Royale" and "Skyfall" became two of the beloved James Bond films of all time. Sure, Craig may look a lot more like Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan than Washington does, but the fact is, the actor just really needs to fit the "James Bond" archetype, and there is no reason why a black actor can't do that.
But Washington is American, while Bond is as British as Big Ben. And this is a more legitimate complaint than his race. Sure, plenty of American actors can do a British accent just fine, but to have the iconic British spy played by an American would feel almost sacrilegious to some.
It's the same as having a British actor play Superman…which happened when Henry Cavill played Superman in last year's "Man of Steel." While the film received mixed reviews, not too many people had any real issues with the British actor. Nothing about him appeared un-American, and I did feel like I was watching Superman. We've also already had Scottish actor Connery play the original Bond, who is almost universally considered to be the best.
While his race and nationality aren't an issue,Washington is simply too old to play the hero. Granted, he is only seven years older than Connery was in "Thunderball," but that was pushing it. With Craig already lined up for the next film in 2016, Washington wouldn't be Bond for at least another five years. He is clearly in terrific shape for a 60-year-old, but the action scenes would have to be limited.
If the world is ready for a black James Bond (and I believe it is), for me, the best candidate is Idris Elba.And 30,000 Facebook fans would appear to agree. In an interview with BBC, the 42-year-old actor said he would accept the offer, but he wouldn't want to be known as "the Black Bond."
"I just don't want to be the black James Bond," he said. "Sean Connery wasn't the Scottish James Bond, and Daniel Craig wasn't the blue-eyed James Bond, so if I played him, I don't want to be called the black James Bond."
Elba is right. Can Agent 007 be played by a black, American actor and still feel like James Bond? Of course. It shouldn't be what defines his performance. When Craig is ready to retire, race or nationality should not be a deciding factor in who gets to wear the tux, it should be whoever fits it best.

Program Mission
The mission of the Student Bridges CEO Mentoring Program is to provide first-year underrepresented students with continuous support throughout their transition into college and throughout their undergraduate career at UMass Amherst.
Contemporarily, the number of underrepresented students enrolled within institutions of higher education has decreased. Areas that have impacted this fact include but are not limited to: lack of access to financial resources, lack of both academic and social support and student dissatisfaction of university resources. Student Bridges' mission states that our organization is dedicated to increase college access and success for underrepresented students by building partnerships with local schools and community organizations; offering college awareness, preparation and success activities; and advocating for enhanced institutional and public policies and practices. This mentoring program fully reflects our mission and will successfully serve the UMass Community.
Program Goals & Objectives
Remember to attend Student Sundays and take advantage of a safe place to learn about the resources available to you at UMass , get help scheduling your week, meet other students like you, and have some tasty refreshments!

As I sit here and reflect upon the decision to become a MACC VISTA, I remember being scared of not succeeding in the role. I guess I still kind of am afraid of not having an impact. But the more involved I get with Student Bridges and our community partners the more I realize what a difference and impact "the little things" make. The networking, the staff meetings, the conferences, the amazing discussions that happen in the office are all pieces to that bigger puzzle. Those little things matter to me and make me so excited to be a part of this movement.
Serving at my alma mater worried me at first because I had just finished my undergrad degree. I was worried about working with students close to my age and that weird transition from being a student to an alumni/staff member. Once I got to campus and started working with the staff, a lot of those worries went away. From the moment of my arrival I felt welcomed and supported in my transition to this new role. More importantly, they remind me and help me see the value of my history with Student Bridges and the work I have been and will be doing this year.
I have been fortunate as an undergrad to see Student Bridges grow from its inception to an incredible, progressive agency on campus. I have the longest history with Student Bridges out of all of our staff members. That fact was a little overwhelming but I see it as an opportunity to exchange knowledge with staff and get our alumni more involved again.
With this new academic year came new staff members to the SB team. I knew that I had to pass on my story, my experiences and my history to the new staff to carry it on for the ones to come. I can't believe how fast time is flying. September was a whirlwind of a month; jam packed with tons of events and recruitment opportunities for Student Bridges. Holyoke and Springfield Bound went extremely well. It was a great experience going from planning sessions to the actual events. Now as the month of October is here and the buzz from September dies down a bit, I am focusing more on helping to develop our tour training as well as our tour planning process. I am also starting to develop a system or method to track our alumni as well as reach out to them to have them included more in the organization.
I guess at the end of the day I really am trying to keep the spirit of Student Bridges alive within our staff and passing on the fire of access & success to the generations after us.
This blog post was authored by Lorena Holquin, who serves as a MACC Vista for Student Bridges and has been with the organization since it's inception.]]>
Over the past year and a half, I have seen that with patience, empathy, and assistance, children can and will thrive – even the ones with difficult challenges. From when Jon and I started up until now, he has come a long way – from hardly speaking to being enthusiastic and talkative. Jon has learned how to build and nurture his own relationships, and has gone beyond by positively influencing his peers through leadership roles. Through my experience tutor-mentoring and more specifically by tutor-mentoring Jon, I have learned the true meaning of reciprocity.
When I first started as a tutor/mentor, I thought I was going to teach underprivileged and underserved students how to improve academically, but to my surprise, I ended up learning so much more about myself and began re-evaluating my life goals. Coming from an underprivileged community myself, I have used my life experiences to relate to my mentees and have shared my knowledge to positively influence them and show them that almost anything is possible if they truly put their mind to it.
I am so proud to be part of an organization that works towards educational equality. Student Bridges facilitates mentor-mentee relationships regardless of our many social differences. We enter communities not thinking we are going to solve their every problem. Instead, we try our best to guide them towards using the strengths and skills they already possess in order to achieve their full potential.
There are many programs that guide and support students in receiving a higher education, but many fail to cater to the needs of underrepresented students, especially once they are enrolled in a college or university, which creates a lack of retention. Our organization not only supports students and provides the resources needed for underrepresented students to strive for higher education, but once they are enrolled in college, we work on retention by actively engaging with those students so that they have the support, knowledge, and resources needed to thrive in college and graduate.
I started as a UMass student, became a tutor-mentor, and have grown into a member of the Student Bridges family. I am currently a full-time student and a part-time Development and Evaluation Coordinator for Student Bridges. I collaborate with Student Bridges committee members to implement constructive changes based on evaluations and feedback. This experience has brought me growth, knowledge, and a hope to forever impact young people's lives. Displaying commitment and directing optimistic energy towards youth has a positive impact on young people's lives and will open the doors of opportunity.

"Like the crazy instruction manual for an improbable world factory, like a hybrid and timeless mythology, Frédéric Penelle's ferocious woodcuts dialogue with the sharp video art created by Yannick Jacquet - or perhaps it's the other way around - to recount, carefully and amusingly, the incontrovertible evidence of the meaninglessness of the world, the origin of the unknowable precedence of the chicken and the egg, of scientists and their machines, of your brain and its hallucinations. This implacably absurd demonstration hiccups and smiles, above all, at our own inundations and uncontrolled fumigations, at our own mechanical vanities."
This installation project has been developed out of the encounter of the engraver Fred Penelle with the video artist Yannick Jacquet. Mécanique Discursives is a mixture of engraving and video projection representing a sort of absurd and poetic machinery unfolding across walls like some exquisite corpse using the principle of a chain reaction as its starting point.
Frédéric Penelle has been going to great lengths for a number of years to release engraving from its traditional context and "beautiful paper". He uses his installations to breathe new life into engraving by moving it off a path that is too well trodden. As regards Yannick Jacquet's work, this is marked by a desire to step outside of traditional projection formats and put video into space. The main tool is audiovisual performances, installations and stage design. Their shared desire to leave the beaten path of their respective disciplines brought them together in this project.
FRED PENELLE - www.penelle.be
"In just under ten years, Frédéric Penelle (Brussels 1973), winner of the Art contest prize at the end of 2007, has given engraving a sudden burst of energy through his novel use of it in a way that is fundamentally original, malicious and as funny as it is serious.The installation of each exhibition places on a wall a swarm of characters and objects which mix, either play- fully or seriously, times, epochs, drawing, paining, black, colour, old images and whatever else besides, to tell, not one, but a thousand tangled tales in which each will recognise his own according to his imagination, what he has lived through, his dreams or concerns.In a heterogeneous set astonishingly coherent in its linear weirdness like a frieze, starting from a personal my- thology that brings together images known to all it holds up a portrait of the world that is surprising yet familiar at the same time. And this arrangement that is playful, amusing, inventive, sometimes threatening and also tragic in its device, constantly gives the impression that it might set itself in motion as if it was a vast comedy put on by actors who bear a strange resemblance to us. Might it be possible that we are taking part unawares? Very inspired and convincing." (C.L.)
(la libre belgique 16/01/08)
YANNICK JACQUET (legoman) - www.legoman.net
Born in Geneva in 1980, lives and works in Brussels. A graphic designer by training, Yannick Jacquet now mainly devotes himself to moving images. His work is characterised by a desire to step outside of traditional projection formats and locate video in space. It mainly comes in the form of audiovisual performances, installations and stage design. His work is often in- situ and is strongly influenced by questions connected to architecture.
He regularly works with a number of artists and more particularly with those under the label AntiVJ where he is one of the founding members.

A review of the new Criterion release of Monte Hellman's "The Shooting" and "Ride in the Whirlwind."
It is the misfortune of "First Knight" to open third in the same season that also brought "Rob Roy" and "Braveheart," two better examples of the medieval swordcraft-and-seduction genre. The movie is entertaining enough in its own way, and Sean Connery makes a splendid King Arthur, but compared with the earlier films this one seems thin and unconvincing.
The story is yet another retelling of the love triangle of Camelot. It centers on Guinevere (Julia Ormond), Lady of Leonesse, whose lands are under attack from the evil Malagant (Ben Cross). She determines to marry King Arthur, whose Camelot is legend, for two reasons: Because she can love him, and because he can protect Leonesse. But as events are unfolding, she meets the young and footloose Lancelot (Richard Gere), who saves her from a savage attack in the woods, and goes right on saving her, while falling in love with her, throughout the movie.
It's an intriguing triangle. Guinevere loves Arthur with her mind and Lancelot with her heart. The two men admire one another. If she chooses Arthur, she also protects all of those she is responsible for. If she chooses Lancelot, love conquers all. This is precisely the same situation that developed in "Casablanca," and the parallel is all the stronger because Julia Ormond, in a certain light, looks so much like Ingrid Bergman, with the apple cheeks; the full lips; the slight overbite; the wide-set, grave eyes, and the generosity of body.
The movie plays out its conflict on sets and locations that look, frankly, less than convincing after "Braveheart" and "Rob Roy." At one point, while a town is under siege, a bell tower falls over for no apparent reason except that prop men caused it to do so. At another point, Arthur stands on a hilltop with Guinevere and shows her the glistening city of Camelot at night - with a light sparkling in every window. Either they had lots of candles, or the guys who built the miniature got carried away.
Another problem is closer to the crux of the story. In order to identify with Guinevere's dilemma, we must be truly able to believe it. We must be convinced by the attraction she feels for both Arthur and Lancelot. This is hard to do, because Richard Gere plays Lancelot with such insouciance that he doesn't seem serious enough to love. He doesn't have the psychic weight to be worth a kingdom.
"Casablanca" had something of the same problem in the Paul Heinreid character, who embodied all nobility but never seemed half as magnetic as Humphrey Bogart's Rick. Still, he was a resistance fighter, standing alone against Nazi evil, and so we understood why Ilsa left with him. And why Rick let her.
"First Knight" handles the choices less well. Guinevere determines to part from Lancelot, and favors him with a farewell kiss, which Arthur happens to see. And he responds very badly, sentencing them both to a public trial for treason, which begins by being less than convincing and only gets worse after Malagant arrives and shouts out (I am not making this up) "Nobody move - or Arthur dies!" Against these problems are some good things, including a nighttime battle sequence with moonlight glinting off helmets and spears, and a touching early scene in which Arthur offers Guinevere protection for Leonesse without the price of marriage, and she chooses marriage because she admires him so. There are some terrific sets by John Box, including a dungeon with a bottomless pit. And I enjoyed John Gielgud, in yet another of the farewell performances we have come to treasure.
One crucial scene is undermined by bad lighting. In the conversation between Guinevere and Lancelot leading up to their fatal kiss, Gere is lit and photographed so badly that he looks pudding-faced. It's an interesting scene, illustrating how much of a movie is illusion and artistry - and how much the movies depend on it.
