Double TroubleJuly 22, 2011
Arachnids and bed-bugs are not alone in tasking their curriculum vitae towards conclusion in approximately 18 months. Computer chips, too, follows this pattern, one wonders not that the newest tech is so buggy…
With much fanfare, Moore's law (semi)conducts a continual procession of damned data-dispensories on account of diminished use value. Alternate uses are typically obscured by the parallel dementia of exchange value, Murphy stepping in for Moore administering law in this land.
Chip capacity motors on twice over inside of 2 years while derelict doubles, yesterday's latest marvels, make their way towards the River Lethe, a tributary into the global waste stream. Once immersed in this larger body, port may be found in any number of low-tech recycling centers in the global South.
Pirates of all stripes maraud the new media milieu in accordance with their own para-logistics, establishing their own forms of doubling with rather subtely disruptive innovation in recent times.
For instance, innovative entrepreneurs deploying doppleganger Apple stores, complete with iProducts in all shades of gray, signage, employees and an ideological adherence to 'customer happiness'.
Rather like a fan fiction informed by digital rhetoric, contemporary counterfeiting is typified by a distributed production system wherein shadow economies imitate the crypsis of a dominant technocultural entity with the panache of a newly mediated Narcissus. Operating razzle-dazzle style, hidden in plain sight, (con)fusing rather than concealing its movements.
Not unlike the Cardiffians and the batty Barnum bedazzled and buoyantly Baudrillardian iterations unfurling in the hearts and minds of Americans circa 1869.

Call of the BlobsquatchMarch 17, 2009
The call of the Blobsquatch bellows out, beckoning and subsequently damning further analysis. Despite efforts to focus elsewhere, an exemplary excerpt from the Tactical Reality Dictionary entry on "Ambiguous Information":
"The initial exposure to blurred, conflicting or ambiguous stimuli and data creates deep interference with accurate perception even after more and better information becomes available. This effect has been demonstrated experimentally with subjects that are exposed to a distorted blurred image. As they develop more confidence in this first and perhaps erroneous impression of ambiguous stimuli this initial impression has more impact on subsequent perceptions. When the picture becomes clearer, new data is assimilated into the previous image but the initial interpretation is maintained and resistance to cognitive change is upheld until the contradiction becomes so strong and apparent that it forces itself upon consciousness."

Blobsquatch FeverMay 24, 2008
At the behest of Other Cinema's captain Craig Baldwin, Blobsquatches enveloped the A.T.A. on the eve of Saturday, 17th of May. Metaphortean and Meta-Fortean philosophies were bandied about by yours truly, blobsquatches exposed and then subsequently afoot–sabotaging the sound system in retaliation for too much information.
Nonetheless, the evening was Fort-ified with anomalous anecdotes on Bigfoot scams from Sam Green, updates on drones from Jeffree Anderson, the Son of Sasquatch (see picture above from bstrand), the NES un-locked by Jeff Donaldson, applied blobsquatchery and Potter-Belmar Labs' audio-visual oracles.
"the margin of error is our margin of freedom," – Svetlana Boym
Recoiling and recalling defective vectors of the unknown, the perceived obsolescence of blurry sasquatches returns to the origin of the species (unknown animal), opening up speculation again, perpetuating anomalies, parading the limits of technology as the paradoxical provider of a utopian "unknown." Blobsquatches represent an imaginable, tangible concept of the unknown. Simultaneously, by the very nature of the ambiguity and uncertainty of the blurry sasquatch, this unknown cannot be grasped. It hovers about waiting for someone/thing to make sense out of it. Distinctly indistinct, knowable but only as an unknown thing. Ever extinguished by reason, ever aloof by the short-circuiting of explanations by anomalous outcomes.
This is Fortean amplified towards a Meta-Fortean pursuit. Meanwhile, metaphortean pursuits, far from being isolated and exclusive, are aimed in a more or less straight-forward map quest. Transposing points from the realm of the cryptozoological to that of adaptive re-use of excess electronics. High-lighting affinities of conviction and excitement between these disparate disciplines, rallying around the possibilities of latent discoveries.

Fortean SasquatcheryApril 10, 2008
There is a transference involved with metaphor –understanding one thing in terms of another, and there is an interference characteristic in the Fortean —understanding that all explanation ultimately provokes new questions.
The Metaphortean involves transferring interference from the Fortean context to another (usually technocultural), or vice-versa, and interfering with such transport in a manner akin to the gremlin. The Metaphortean is regularly, if not deliberately, confused with Meta-Fortean phenomena. Fortean phenomena are ruptures, faultlines and anomalous natural occurrences that offset the explanations of mainstream Science. The Fortean researcher finds noise/interference in allegedly objective findings. The Meta-Fortean considers the domain of Fortean Forteana, recursive research into anomalous anomalies.
The "Fortean" namesake is Charles Fort, that iconoclastic collector of curious goings on. As an adjective the meaning is roughly synonymous with "strange and/or unexplainable naturally occurring phenomena." Damned data, fortean phenomena meddle with the certainty of established facts. A catch-all continuum, "Fortean" operates on the words it accompanies, endorsing an accretion of anomalous acreage . For example, Fortean Zoology involves the "study of animals," and indeed includes cryptids* –but not exclusively. Fortean Zoology incorporates a diverse menagerie — aberrant animal behaviors, creatures falling from the sky, supernatural beasts, mystery animals and other peripheries of officially demarcated zoologies.
With the advent of digital tech, cryptozoology has (un)certainly hastened proliferation of particular representational regimes for imaging the Sasquatch. Initial outgrowth of Bigfoot lore, memorates, rumors, photographs, sketches, plaster casts, eye-witness reports have accumulated into a layer of anecdotal sediment. Digital prosumerism has imposed on the rogue science of sasquatchery, amplifying the yearnings of scientific "objectivity" over vernacular belief structures and paranormal mechanisms. Sasquatch Realism? The missing but signified bi-pedal hominid (connotation) takes the helm as proof (denotation) of its existence. Traveling here with Barthes' notion of the reality effect…"notation [becomes] the pure encounter of an object and its expression." (Barthes, The Rustle of Language, p.148)
*Cryptids are mysterious animals that have been reported but not yet found and classified. Once classified they relinquish their cryptid status becoming literal things not speculative possibilities. Liminoid place-holders, cryptids hold down the Fort, amassing attention in a manner not too far from the "spime."
Adaptive re-use of the original ambiguity surrounding unknown occurrences ('blobbiness') is critical for the sustainability of the Fortean in the post-digital imagination. What is the Blobsquatch if not an example of Fortean Sasquatchery?

Ghost StoriesMarch 15, 2008
Applied blobsquatchery interferes with the production of obsolescence by way of an anamorphic perspective. Shaping the debate by losing form. Excess and noise become forms of camoflage, razzle-dazzle and creative prompt. "We can see the outmoded and obsolescent as a means to catch a glimpse of other possible worlds, to imagine how the world might be 'otherwise,'" writes Michelle Henning in her essay New Lamps for Old: Photography, Obsolescence and Social Change.
Henning, following Evan Watkins' studies, describes the production of obsolescence as an operation requiring "fields of equivalence." This marketing maneuver coerces understanding of any given "new media" as the obvious and impending improvement. The DTV transition depends, in part, on conditioning the consumer into perceiving a value shift from analog to digital television systems. Digital television is being ushered in as a remediation of analog TV. Better picture, More selection. The persistent siren songs of home entertainment hype add an extra note: No more ghosts. The visual noise of static interference on analog TV screens, known as 'ghosting' — is a combination of neighboring electromagnetic fields and residual traces of cosmic radiation dating back 13 billion years! Ghost stories from the dawn of time, these residual media are denied existence along with the rest.
Metaphortean fields of equivalence stray from predominant linear models. Oscillating between errors inherent in (always already) obsolescent technologies and the new species and lost worlds accessible at interfaces of malfunction.
Fortean electronics including Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP), and Electronic Image Phenomena (EIP) rely on analog receivers to facilitate long distance visitations with other entities and worlds. Other electronic anomalists, such as Portland's Pulse Emitter, are simply fascinated with the itineraries of electrons. Pulse Emitter pursues adventures in sonic fiction by way of modular synthesis. The random fluctuations of tv and radio 'ghosts' are a favored compositional element in this artist's articulation of electronic sound
The end of analog broadcasts ensures the mass exodus of commercial programming to the digital realm, allowing cosmic accounts of the Big Bang to take center stage. In metaphortean circles, analog recievers will become a sort of wildlife preserve. Sanctuaries for research, the rabbit-eared relics will become treasured sites for observation and exploration of an eclectic electronic ecosystem.

Speculative Genealogy of the Blobsquatch (Part II)January 31, 2008
Follow up to Part I
With Blobsquatches identified as unknown "animals" worthy of pursuit, a makeshift map of ancestral origins, missing links and descendants emerges from the margins of error. Through the lens (errors intact) of Blobsquatchery, other facets and realms of contrarian cultural production can be speculatively enfranchised as such. To learn from one's mistakes and consciously apply Blobsquatchery is to seek signals in noise, to understand error as both wandering and wondering astray.
Applied Blobsquatchery might reach as far back as anamorphosis, a la Holbein's The Ambassadors. Obfuscation, here directed at perspectival technologies, an interruption of consensus reality in the dominant representational mode (one-point perspective) of the 16th century.
Electronic Voice Phenomena (EVP) and more specificially the visual phenomena associated with Intrumental Transcommunication (ITC) has revealed an electronic species of Blobsquatch. ITC involves setting up a video feedback loop using an analog camcorder point back at it's receiving monitor. Individual video frames are grabbed from this fray and analyzed further via computers. The American Association of Electronic Voice Phenomena describes:
"These images are often difficult to make out as anything more than optical noise, so we ask that you look very closely at any pattern you might first notice in the image…Except for a possible few exceptions, we do not know who or what these people shown here are. It is clear that people of many time periods, and possible worlds, are represented. We know how we collected these images, but we do not know how they are imprinted in the video or why. Perhaps the most we can gather from these images is that there is a phenomena, the phenomena is indicative of an intelligent manipulation of video noise and the represented entities exist outside of our known reality. We take from this a certain sense of friendliness and assurance that there is more to reality than meets the eye."
Oscillating through impersonations of known celebrities, from Rudolph Valentino, Vincent Price to George Orwell, and sometimes known unknowns such as extra-terrestrial aliens! A striking variation on the radical ambiguities inherent in the traditional Blobsquatch, whereby the Patterson-Gimlin Sasquatch is the optical allusion of note.
Blobjects, as contemporary design intiatives to elude the straight edges of computer-assisted design and encourage cuddly consumption, are an intriguing link. Here optical, or more generally visual blobbiness is activated in response to stodgy vertical and horizontal planes typically associated with consumer gadgetry. Blobjects vary from VW bugs, to toothbrushes to iMacs, fashion and furniture. A darker variant is a prospective blobject encapsulated in the title of The Gray Goo Problem. Like a malevolent and carnivorous globster, this scenario marks the end stage of end users via molecular technologies gone awry. This hypothetical destruction of life by a self-replicating blob of nanomachines threatens to rapidly break down all organic matter to use as raw materials for replication! Spreading "like blowing pollen, [replicating] swiftly, and [reducing] the biosphere to dust in a matter of days," as nanotech pioneer K. Eric Drexler warns in his 1986 book Engines of Creation.
Like their close cousin the Gremlin, albeit for explorations outside of sheer pranksterism, Blobsquatches and agents of Blobsquatchery are more often concerned with minor glitches, quirks and disruptions than full on catastrophic accidents. Looking at blobjects of the personal data assistant variety: Treos to iPhones, Smartphones, Blackberries, etc we witness the wake of "Homo Meanderthalensis." More commonly known as The Meanderthal, this descendant of the Blobsquatch is described in Urban Meanderthals and the City of "Desire Lines"
by researcher Matthew Tiessen:
"A sort of human-variant, the Meanderthal could also be described as a Cyborg Spin-Off, exhibiting not only the machinic prosthetic appendages (e.g. cell-phone, Blackberry) required of cyborg flesh, but also the sort of behaviour — i.e. confusion, aimlessness, disorientation, self-absorption — that inevitably results when an all-too-human human attempts to navigate an overly mechanized and technologically-mediated environment."
Meanderthals are a product of human error amplified and extended through technology. Their techno-somambulism calls attention to the limits of the city's infrastructure through unconscious encounters. Meanderthals "are dangerous because they are oblivious to their surroundings," observes reporter Jack Brubaker (from WordSpy) The Meanderthal, in gumming up metropolises, exhibits some characteristic traits of Blobsquatchery.
The city, as urban explorer G.Lucas Crane has described previously, is "like a colossal machine for organizing human sociality." Meanderthals are numb to their surroundings, they disable their own sensory awareness. Indeed, they embody malfunction—but only at the behest of properly functioning personal digital assistants! Unlike Meanderthals, Blobsquatches are not oblivious to their environment but instead particularly sensitive to the revelatory potential lurking at the interface of malfunction. Blobsquatches are conscious conduits of malfunction, activating informed deviations, revealing previously imperceptible avenues of understanding.
The Bio-Electronic Audiosapien, antecedent of the Blobsquatch, is a Species Device identified by "father of circuit-bending" Reed Ghazala. The BEASape is a juggernaut all told, and will be the primary focus (so to speak) of the third installment of this Genealogy.

This followup to Rabbit Is a Sphere's fantastic debut, Laps in the Sleep Salon, is a shorter and decidedly more moody offering. "Dispatch" opens the disc with a fragmenting, luminous fog that evolves into an electrifying rocker, bursting the poetic angst of its lyrics with sheer urgency; it ends with the hushed, impressionistic dreaminess of "Hell Has a Heart," an introspective acceptance that life doesn't always offer pat resolutions to our personal dramas. "Nickels, Hymnals, Stained Napkins" manages to make a strong social statement without being heavy-handed, while "Sailor's Knot" sounds like "Spirit in the Sky" gone menacing and completely unraveled — proving once again that bands can be both eclectic and engagingly consistent.

Uttoxeter dentists opens in old solicitors building
Posted: April 01, 2014|
PLANS have been submitted for a new dental practice in the town centre, following the controversial closure of one of the town's few solicitors' practices.
The denture clinic and dental surgery is to be in Carter Street, and will be in the place of the old Glandfield and Cruddas solicitors practice in Highgate House, which is currently standing empty.
The planning application description of the proposal stated: "The semi-detached Victorian property in Uttoxeter town centre previously used as a solicitors office, a change of use, to be used as a denture clinic/dental surgery."
The proposed dental surgery would be open from 8am until 6.30pm Monday to Friday and 8am until 5pm on Saturday.
The surgery joins three existing dental practices in town, one in Dovefields Retail Park, one in Trinity Road and one in Balance Street.
Glandfield and Cruddas Solicitors formerly based at Highgate House went into administration in September of last year, following the news that parent company Hacking Ashton Solicitors went into liquidation.
This was the second solicitors' office to close down in the space of a few weeks.
The sudden closures left long-term clients of the firm uncertain about what had happened to their documents.
Since then, a new solicitors firm Bowcock and Pursaill has opened in the former Wilkins and Thompson building in Carter Street but the Highgate House office has remained empty.
The office in Carter Street is the latest addition to the existing Bowcock & Pursaill offices which are currently based in Leek and Hanley.
Ian Naylor, managing partner of Bowcock and Pursaill said: "We're delighted to open a new office in Uttoxeter and be able to serve both businesses and individuals in that community. We see this new office as a natural expansion for our firm, as the clientele of the area is very similar to those we already serve."
Files from former clients of the solicitors were passed on to solicitors firms based in Stoke-on-Trent and Burton following the closure.

Anyone even know where to look for a Santa Cruz Tallboy LT (Carbon or Aluminum) frame deal ? I know some folks make up for the fixed price by giving a deal on wheels or parts so I'm flexible. I was going to piece the components together but if the whole bike kits are just plain cheaper, I'll go that way.
I do need wheels and if I get the carbon, would like a set of 29er tubeless with the 142x12 rear, 15mm front. There are tons of wheel deals out there but seemingly few with 142mm rear. I'd love to find a set built with DT 350 hubs. There are so many rear axle options now it makes finding the right combo tough.

Reward offered in pharmacy robberyJune 15,2013BENNINGTON A company that works with pharmacies is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest of a man who robbed a CVS pharmacy on Kocher Drive in Bennington.
According to the Bennington Police Department, the suspect is a thin, white man, about 6 feet 3 inches to 6 feet 4 inches tall. Police said he was wearing a black face mask, black sleeveless vest and a charcoal gray hooded sweatshirt and gloves.
Police said the man entered the pharmacy around 9 p.m. May 21, showed a gun and demanded controlled substances. The man left through an emergency exit at the side of the building.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Crime Stoppers Hotline at (888) 479-8477. According to a press release announcing the reward, callers to the hotline dont need to leave their names or appear in court and the line doesnt record calls or use any kind of device that can identify callers.
The reward is being offered by RxPatrol, which is described on its website as a collaborative effort between (the pharmacy) industry and law enforcement designed to collect, collate, analyze and disseminate pharmacy theft information.MORE IN This Just InPolice are seeking information about a pair of robberies in Rutland and Wallingford Wednesday night.

Windows 7 Ultimate 32 bit (I think)
Problems with screen saver and copy-paste from web browser
I'm experiencing 2 problems within Windows 7 and hope maybe someone here can help.
1) When I set my screensaver to photo slideshow, and instruct the computer to access my photographs from the "Pictures" folder, it includes random graphics from installed programs (e.g. the logo from my webcam) which are not in the folder. How do I get only my photographs to play?
2) When I copy and paste successive images from the Internet into Word (possibly other programs, but I've only tried Word), even if subsequent images appear on the clipboard, only the first image pastes (i.e. when I copy a second image and hit paste, the previous image appears on the page). Any suggestions to fix this?

Welcome to the forum.
What happens if you set it to use Windows Live Photo Gallery, that should just be your photo's.
I believe the inbuilt clipboard is only capable of holding one thing at a time, it has always been this way. I don't know the name but I do know that there are probably third party programs that will allow you to keep more than 1 item on the clipboard.
Hope this helps you.

The machine can only access what it finds, so either the access path is incorrect, or you have the logo images in the folder.
Try "Ditto";

Pence Won't Run for Indiana Senate Seat
January 26, 2010 - 6:05 PMRepublican Indiana Congressman Mike Pence says he won't run this year for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Democrat Evan Bayh.
Pence had been considering a run and a possible showdown with Bayh, who has twice won election to the Senate.
But the third-ranking House Republican says he's running for re-election to seat representing much of eastern Indiana that he first won in 2000. He said Tuesday he made his decision in part because he's been given responsibility to shape a GOP comeback as chairman of the House Republican Conference.
Those who have announced they will seek the Republican nomination are former U.S. Rep. John Hostettler, state Sen. Marlin Stutzman of Howe, Richmond financial adviser Don Bates Jr. and Fishers businessman Richard Behney.

well yes but even though you're fine with that you know that the 3rd, 4th, and 5th are arguably better right? Even though you don't need it you still can say "yes these have more features" correct? But the 6th generation and 7th generation are blatant downgrades from the 5th

St Joseph's College of Maine FNP program students - page 15
I wanted to start this thread for all of the new (and current) students at Saint Joseph's College of Maine FNP program. Any info, news, updates or questions/concerns could be asked here for all the new and current students.... Read More
- 1Apr 29, '12 by ShannonRN09During the first two classes, you are only allowed to take one at a time (per my advisor, maybe this is just her philosophy). I spent a little two much time (for me) and didn't finish them for 5 months. Then I started my 3rd course, the following month I started my fourth. I would finish my third course at 2 months, my fourth course at 2 months. But since I staggered them, 2 courses would take approx 3 months to finish them. For example (these are hypothetical):
January- Research Started
February- Politics Started, Research still in Progress
March- Leadership and Management, Research completed at the end of February. Politics is still going.
April- Politics finished before April started. Now I start Informatics, and L&M is still going.
By April, I've finished 2 courses and enrolled in 2. By the end of April, I'll have finished 3 courses, still enrolled in one, but will being the next course May 1.
Essentially, I'll finish a course in 6 weeks using this method.
Also, it should be noted that the program is not entirely self paced. For example, I'm in Politics now. I started it April 1. I just finished my Politics final. (Course finished in less than a month). I can't turn in my next assignments until I receive my grades back. I finished it super quick because I start Pathophysiology tomorrow and didn't want to be burdened with Politics. I'm ready for the good stuff
Also, Patho, pharm, and physical assessment may take longer for me because I want to soak up every last detail.
If I continue at this pace, I will finish the program in August 2013. I started July 2011. If I didn't take so long with my first courses (I had a lot going on when I first started and was not completely dedicated to the program) I would have finished earlier.
Hope this helps!
- 0Apr 29, '12 by ShannonRN09RN-in Maine,
You can take more than one class after you finish your first 6 credits.
- 0Apr 30, '12 by RN-In MaineShannonRN09-
Thank you soo much for your feedback!! And I appreciate you taking the time to explain it. I like how you layered the classes and now that I am moving on into my second course I am starting to get into it more so I plan to pick up a bit and move along a little faster. Goodluck with Patho! But yes...now you are into the good stuff
- 0May 3, '12 by emsangelIt is true that the cohort groups are 15 weeks for clinicals. I did all of the courses in 4 week blocks and then hit a huge slow down once clinicals came. I had to wait for a cohort group of 6 students (about 2 months) and now we all do 16 hours per week for 15 weeks together and then move on to the next clinical rotation. I was planning do 24 hours per week and then take a few weeks off from work to do 40 hours per week to graduate in May, but with the clinicals the way they are, it takes 18-24 months to get through the program. The faculty have been amazing though in helping us get through all of this!!!
- 0May 3, '12 by TraceyMarinoI too am starting the second round of clinicals. It is a lot of extra work getting preceptors and entering everything into the computer....not much time for working, with clinical and homework especially if you take theory and clinical together, which is what most of us are doing.
There have been some mix ups, confusion, but yes, the staff are trying to help us get through. I think it has been a learning process for the college and the students!!!!
You really should count on this program taking at least 2 years. I did all the classes up to clinical in less than one year, and I agree with emsangel--huge roadblock and delay while waiting for cohort, and it is no longer self paced when you reach that point. When you enter clinicals, you are at the mercy of the college to set the pace, so brace yourself for this!
- 0May 5, '12 by LJames13Thanks emsangel and TraceyMarino for the info. That is really helpful to all of us going through the classes and looking forward to the clinical aspect of the program.
It really clears up a lot of confusion and at least we know that the school is trying to help.
Good luck to you both and keep us posted with any updates or changes PLEASE!
- 0May 7, '12 by RN-In MaineIs anyone enrolled in NU 500 - Conceptual bases for nursing? Just wondering if you have a list of the books we need. I signed up for the class and they said it could take 5 days for confirmation so it would be nice to get a head start on ordering the books. Thank you!!

They are trying to get all 6 of us on the same idea pathway, A cohort may be starting in May. I hope I can get preceptors to do paper work by 5-15.

Applied Design Program at Pierpont announces 4 new design courses for 2014-2015
Pierpont Fashion and Interior Design Students Participate in National Survey
Pierpont Fashion and Interior Design Students Participate in National Survey
Students in the Applied Design program at Pierpont Community & Technical College are participating in an important survey that provides the institution with valuable data on how it is meeting the challenge to provide an engaging environment for student learning. The second year students in APPD 2202 Advanced Apparel Design and APPD 2260 Contract Design have been selected to complete the CCSSE survey this spring. The Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE), a product and service of the Center for Community College Student Engagement, is a well-established tool that helps institutions focus on good educational practice and identify areas in which they can improve their programs and services for students.
Administered during the spring to mostly returning students, CCSSE asks about institutional practices and student behaviors that are highly correlated with student learning and retention. Community colleges have long distinguished themselves through their efforts to put students first and their emphasis on teaching and learning. Innovations in curriculum, teaching strategies, and support services for students are hallmarks of these institutions. Yet while community colleges often pioneer new strategies, they don't have sufficient access to tools that help them assess their initiatives and measure their progress toward key goals. This survey helps to capture student attitude of how well the college is doing to meet their goal of maximizing student learning.
Today, community colleges are being asked to rise to new challenges. Across the country, community colleges must respond to the increasing expectations for quality, performance, and accountability set by governing boards, state and federal governments, accrediting organizations, and the public. Key among those expectations is that colleges should emphasize assessment and improvement of student retention and student learning. To respond effectively to these challenges, community and technical colleges need assessment tools appropriate to their unique missions and the characteristics of their diverse student populations. CCSSE is meeting that need.
Pierpont is among community colleges nationwide that now have a reliable and appropriate tool for assessing institutional quality as it directly pertains to the student learning experience. Within their own campus communities, participating colleges are using the concrete feedback provided by the survey to identify and implement needed changes in policy and practice. Pierpont has participated in the CCSSE survey several times in past years. Results from this data collection are carefully reviewed to plan for new ways to improve the educational experience for students.

It's the end of a busy-ass awards week, and a pretty crucial one as far as the Oscar season goes. Within the space of a few days, we've had the LA Film Critics Circle announcements, the Critics Choice Award nods, the SAG nominations and, this morning, the Golden Globe nominees being revealed.Read More »
In one of the bigger weeks of the awards season (bar Oscar nominations week itself), we've already seen the LA Film Critics Awards, the Critics Choice Awards and the SAG Awards, among others, hand down their winners or nominees for the films and actors of the past twelve months. And this morning, th...Read More »
Another day, another set of awards nominations, and while the rest of the week brings the SAG and Golden Globes announcements, today is the turn of the Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards (generally known as the Critics Choice Awards), a mainstream-leaning group now in their 18th year.

More rankings! As Oscar prognosticators puzzle, fret and worry over each top ten list that drops, a few patterns are becoming clear -- firstly, everyone loves "Zero Dark Thirty." And secondly, it looks like outside of a couple of categories, Paul Thomas Anderson's "The Master"...Read More »
With each passing day, it's looking more and more like Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty" is going to be the one to beat this awards season. As we cautioned earlier this week, this trajectory right now reminds us of David Fincher's "The Social Network," which got al...Read More »
Awards season continues on apace, and if things keep on the way things have been going this week, Kathryn Bigelow may need to enlarge her trophy cabinet. Her follow-up to the awards-laden "The Hurt Locker," Bin Laden-hunt picture "Zero Dark Thirty" hasn't even opened in theaters yet, but it already ...Read More »
There's been a plague in the movie marketing world of late. Virtually every major release -- and seemingly most minor ones as well -- is going far beyond single one-sheet artwork to sell its wares. Along with teasers, arty Mondo-type versions, IMAX editions and everything else in between, posters ar...Read More »
Over the weekend EPIX premiered a brand new Kevin Smith special, "Jay and Silent Bob Go Down Under." Chronicling a small smattering of the Australian leg of their "Jay and Silent Bob Get Old" live show, and the engaging one hour program features Smith and his "Clerks" costar Jason Mewes doing what t...Read More »
This week's "Killing Them Softly" is something of an outlier this season, in that it runs at a brisk 97 minutes. As has been noted by many -- not least a seemingly ADD-afflicted senior Variety staffer -- many of the big movies in awards contention have come with epic running times.Read More »
With Thanksgiving over and done with, we've arguably reached the mid-point of the awards season. Things will be kicking off with the Independent Spirit nominations arriving tomorrow, and the New York Film Critics Circle and National Board of Review following next week.

World shattering complete; U.S. servers back up {WoW}
Nov 23rd 2010 5:59PM After 6 years Blizzard finally did it. They gave us a long time out *expectation* for downtime, ( 5 PM PST, on the 2nd update, but whatever) and then got it done before that time.
Well done Bliz. You finally learned.

15 Minutes of Fame: Film follows fantasy of fighting Onyxia {WoW}
Nov 18th 2010 11:06AM While I'm not terribly impressed with the trailer, I'll withhold judgment until I get a chance to see it in it's entirety. The trailer does convey what every good trailer should: theme, urgency, and a basic introduction to the story. Even those who didn't 'like' it have a strong feeling about it. That means the trailer wins, in my opinion.
What bothers me more is that every time I see something about gamers we have a cadre of people who cry out against the creation because they are afraid that it will reinforce 'the gamer stereotype' and turn people against 'us'. Maybe I'm antagonistic, but I never wanted 'them' anyway. I've spent most of my life on the so-called fringe; RPG and console gamer in my youth, more RPGs, LARP, PC/console gamer in my teens and early 20s. Punk and Goth in dress in my late teens and 20s. When I was a kid and someone said 'gamer' they weren't talking about Nintendo, they were talking about RPGs. Invariably, if it was someone who wasn't a gamer, it was said in a tone of disgust and derision.
People tried to beat me up because I was a 'gamer-nerd', skinny, poor, with glasses. So, I put on a leather jacket and learned martial arts. I had a lot of friends and acquaintances who meet or beat the stereotype one way or another. Most of them were great people, some of them had serious social issues, but all of them were clearly not part of the 'in-crowd' at school. But, none of us wanted to be. Those people were invariably small minded, prejudiced, and honestly: they were usually stupid. I mean, 'go buy blinker fluid' stupid.
I don't want to embrace that stupidity, just like I don't want to play Farmville. I don't need the approval of other people to make myself feel okay about what I choose to do in my spare time. My friends, my family, those are the people who matter. The only time I get 'up-in-arms' is when 'they' try to create uninspired and unintelligible laws prohibiting something they don't even understand. Or when I think that there's something important I need to say.
When I was a kid, you could get beaten up or shoved in a locker/dumpster for being a 'gamer-nerd.' Now, the bully who beats you up is probably playing Black Ops with his friends after school and making crude and crass comments over his headset. Is this the type of universal acceptance we were going for?
Because I'll take the stereotypical pimply, over-weight, socially maladjusted gamer over the people on Xbox Live any day. He/She's a nice guy who actually cares about his/her friends and family. Probably has pets. By now, many of us have kids of our own.
Closing statement: If anybody is giving us a bad name, it's the 'jerk squad' of funsucking asshats whom the rest of society sees when they try out a multi-player game for the first time, not some artist creating a book/tv series/movie.
P.S. The Guild portrays gamers terribly, (children in cages, anyone?) but people pile on the praise because it's funny. (I like The Guild, btw, but fair's fair.)
Breakfast Topic: Does world PvP feel dishonorable? {WoW}
Nov 6th 2010 10:54AM DO WANT! That sounds like the most fun and best solution to date. The only real problem would be the mobs of Lowbies attacking every high level player in sight. Once someone got a price on their head, they'd then switch to their Main and collect the price.
So, I like the idea, but feel it would have to be based on who attacked first. If the High level initiates combat, it counts towards their total, if the lowbie initiates combat, it doesn't. Something like that. (I'm sure then you'd have something equivalent to hunters sending their pet in to cities and feigning death to get the guards attacking the person who attacks the pet.)
Hmm.. Now I see why they don't institute this stuff.
Breakfast Topic: Does world PvP feel dishonorable? {WoW}
Nov 6th 2010 10:47AM @missemilyblack
If dying 'ruins' your fun in the game, methinks you are taking it too seriously. Without the threat of death and the MEAGER penalties for death (durability and a corpse run) this game would be less fun for me. To each his or her own.
I'll go back to what Swifteye said, if you are flagged you are either on a PvP server (no pity, you know the rules) or got flagged and that's rarely by accident.
So, your argument doesn't really 'hold water' with me.
15 Minutes of Fame: PvE twinks turn lowbie instances devilishly difficult {WoW}
Nov 3rd 2010 10:15PM This is SOOOOO Awesome!
The closest I ever came to this was dualboxing dungeons pre-4.0.1. (with two computers, not with addons and multiple instances of WoW.)
I would take my 2 troll team, Warrior and Priest through instances at appropriate levels. Not the 'lowest level' but I started RFC at 12. (Didn't know you could get in before that and didn't try.) I used BoAs for shoulders only, because that's all I had. While it took FOREVER, it was fun, exciting, and an interesting way to 'learn' tanking. I wiped a lot the first times I tried every instance and later I'd still wipe from a bad pull.
I was eventually able to beat every mechanic thrown at me except one, partially because I didn't limit my level. My goal was always to win well before the mobs went gray. Arugal was the only boss I couldn't beat with my 2 man team. If I survived the Mind Control, then the Void Bolts wiped my little party. I just couldn't heal through it with 2 toons. I did make it past that part once, but then- just like they mention, Mind control again and bam- Dead priest, then dead Warrior.
So, I gave up and skipped to the Scarlet Monastery, wanting to hit that before I out-leveled it. I was able to do the Graveyard easily after a couple tries before I decided I didn't want to pay for that second account for a while.
Hearing how they beat Arugal inspires me to try 2 manning again, but I think it would be more fun if the second toon wasn't a 'Priest-on-a-leash.' (on follow)
BlizzCon 2010: Quests and lore panel highlights {WoW}
Oct 27th 2010 1:23AM the dreaded reply fail rears it's ugly head.
BlizzCon 2010: Quests and lore panel highlights {WoW}
Oct 27th 2010 1:23AM While I honestly agree with most of the points of your post, I have to mention one thing: A lot of people throw 'Mary-Sue' and 'fan fiction' around when talking about characters in this game or it's books. So, this isn't so much about you as the use of those terms to explain why you don't like something.
It's established in this 'Universe' that there are incredibly powerful magical beings, living embodiments of 'the light', demons, 'Old Gods', Undead, ... the list goes on. Thrall has been established as one of the 'most powerful living shaman' at least. In Cataclysm, we get to see HOW bad ass he is as a shaman.
It's not like Thrall doesn't have his flaws. Garrosh(depending on your opinion), Sylvanas (when was she not evil- right, before she died.), allowing slavery in the horde (Gladiators anyone?), I'm sure there's more... but...
My main point isn't about 'mary-sue'ism. it's about Warcraft's universe. We have an EPIC story, with fantastical characters. (not purples, story type, like the Illiad or the Odyssey) To make it more 'epic and meaningful' every expansion, they have to up the stakes and make it more powerful. If they didn't this game would get boring, real quick. To do so this time, they had to nearly break the world.
That is the nature of storytelling, that doesn't make it 'fanfiction'. Not to mention, Stickney is espousing her opinion, not 'lore law'. We don't really know what happens until we get there.
Mostly, I think it's lazy to use 'mary-sue' and 'fanfiction'. That's my opinion, as a crazy writer. I don't think that 'World of Warcraft' should be taken so seriously. I mean, Haris Pilton... et al. It's a game, it's lore is meant to be EPIC and Dramatic to move the story and game forward. It's not perfect, but it has some wonderful moments.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Like I said, I liked your post but the paragraph containing those two terms. Warcraft was made to be like this, if that's Mary-sue and fan fiction... well... there's a heck of a lot worse examples out there. We'll start with Star Wars.
We take this game way too seriously as it is. Which means it's doing it's job.
BlizzCon 2010: Closing ceremonies {WoW}
Oct 24th 2010 3:07AM It all has to do with this guy named Murphy.
BlizzCon 2010: Closing ceremonies {WoW}
Oct 24th 2010 3:03AM We'd all love for some love to be given the Vanilla models, but who can blame them for being slow to change them when they get the horrible backlash nearly every time they DO change a model? (New Tree of Life, anyone? That's just the most recent example.)
That, and a model change means they have to re-rig how all the armor, mounts, and animations work for each race/sex. Anybody looked at how your character looks on a DK Skeletal mount since the patch? That likely had to do with rigging for Goblins and Worgens.
It's a lot more work than most people know or consider and a truly low priority, which means it's like dance studios. 'Something for the animators to do when they don't have more pressing work.' (That's a paraphrase/best recollection of one of those interviews/Q & A's that popped up here.)
My point? They just upped the graphical quality of a lot of things, maybe we'll see it (racial model changes) soon. Learn patience, be less spoiled.
As for all the time they spent on the female worgen? How much QQ did we get/are we still getting because it's 'too cute' 'not feral enough'? People are bitching about the Mastiff, a DOG which looks like a DOG- OMG! How long did people ask for a dog that looks like a dog? And now it's not 'bad ass' enough.
I'm so glad I'm not a game designer. I'd probably rage-quit, then wait for the next Blizzcon and paintball people waiting in line.

AeroVironment Issues Statement Regarding 2013 Annual Meeting Of Stockholders
AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV) today issued the following statement in response to Engaged Capital's withdrawal of its director nominee for election to AeroVironment's board of directors at the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders ("2013 Annual Meeting"), scheduled for October 4, 2013.
The AeroVironment board of directors welcomes the views of its stockholders and appreciates suggestions to help drive long-term growth and enhanced value creation. Engaged Capital's decision to withdraw its director nominee and refrain from continuing a disruptive and costly proxy contest at the 2013 Annual Meeting will allow the company to focus on executing its growth strategy for the benefit of all stockholders.
The AeroVironment board and management team continue to execute the company's fiscal 2014 plan successfully by leveraging existing market leadership to support innovation, encourage market adoption and create long-term value for all stockholders. In fact, the company continues to see strong demand for, and rapid adoption of, AeroVironment's unique, high-quality and innovative products and recently received the largest order yet, valued at $36.7 million, for Switchblade™ tactical missile systems, ancillary equipment and support. AeroVironment's strategy, strong balance sheet and prudent capital allocation plan are important competitive differentiators that enable the company to support growth initiatives without compromising its ability to make quick and decisive strategic investments in emerging opportunities.
The AeroVironment board is committed to strong corporate governance practices and, in that regard, recently nominated two new, independent and highly qualified individuals to serve as AeroVironment directors: Tom Burbage, former executive vice president and general manager of one of the largest defense acquisition programs to date at Lockheed Martin, and Ed Muller, Vice Chairman of NRG Energy and former chairman and chief executive officer of both GenOn Energy and Mirant Corporation. The board also appointed Stephen Page, a former director, vice chairman and chief financial officer of United Technologies Corporation, and former president and chief executive officer of its subsidiary, Otis Elevator Company, as lead independent director.

Michael Rand started RandBall with hopes that he could convince the world to love jumpsuits as much as he does. So far, he's only succeeded in using the word "redacted" a lot. He welcomes suggestions, news tips, links of pure genius, and pictures of pets in Halloween costumes here, though he already knows he will regret that last part.
Follow Randball on Twitter
Jon Marthaler bakes up a batch of delicious links just for you. Other times, you can find him here and here. Jon?
Happy Saturday! Forget the intro: the links are too long this week, and so off we go:
*We're into pennant race season, and so there's a plethora of Twins links to choose from. Jesse Lund at Twinkie Town dealt with an 11-0 loss just about as well as anyone could, while Parker Hageman went deep inside the data to bring us the news that Joe Mauer is absolutely poleaxing the ball, and has been for some time, even back when we were all wondering what was wrong with him. Meanwhile, Nick Nelson is starting to think that he might not hate Drew Butera, which is big news considering that I think Nelson called for Butera's public disembowelment several times this year. He also takes on the old "Delmon for MVP" topic one more time, though I don't think anybody (right, Mr. RandBall?) really thinks that Young is a serious candidate.
*On the hockey front, Chris Dilks at the Western College Hockey Blog has covered the CHL (Canadian juniors) vs. NCAA fight as well as anyone. Basically, the NCAA is pointing out that they can get players an education while they also develop as hockey players, while the CHL yammers their responses from behind a semi-shambolic scholarship program and the possibly-incorrect perception that Canadian juniors are the best way to get to the NHL. This week, Dilks has noted that the CHL's pulling more dirty tricks in the ongoing war of words, and has also examined the impossibility of the two leagues working together. As more and more young players attempt to get to the NHL as fast as possible - four years in school be damned - this topic is going to continue to have increased ramifications for player development, for youth hockey in the USA, and for college hockey in general.
*And finally: Here's an interesting post about Formula 1 race simulators that also hints at what I think is the main problem with Formula 1: it's entirely about engineering. This is great if you're a car engineering geek, but if you're a yokel like me who just wants to see who comes in first on race day, it's disheartening to find out that the driver is about the sixth-most important person on the race team, way behind the chief engineer and chief designer and somewhere on the level of the guy watching the weather map to try to figure out when it's going to rain. The half-season or so that I watched eventually came down to - this is true - one driver nearly driving off the track on the last lap because his weather guys hadn't brought him in to change tires yet. And here was silly me, thinking it was about who was the best driver.
Baseball, hockey, and open-wheel auto racing this week; you're just lucky I didn't dive into the goings-on in the world of cricket. Enjoy the weekend; I'll be in the basement of the Ortonville VFW post tonight, if anybody wants to stop by and say hi. (You may have to pretend to be a member of my graduating class. Considering there were barely 70 of us, this may be difficult.)

Afterwards (junior and senior years), we had two clinical rotations per semester, each class about 8 weeks in length.
