Scott Risser, PhD
Assistant Professor - Pyschology
Courses Offered:
- Introduction to Psychology (psyx 100, Fall & Spring
- Developmental Psychology (psyx 230, Fall)
- Abnormal Psychology (psyx 340, Spring)
- Social Psychology (psyx 360, Spring)
Research Interests:
As a developmental psychologist with a focus on peer relations, I am primarily interested in how people harm and help one another. My current focus of research involves taking current theoretical and research paradigms examining social/relational aggression (when we attempt to manipulate and hurt each other by gossiping, ostracizing, or withdrawing affection or friendship) and applying them to online interactions. Much research and theory tells us that negative interactions with others predicts maladjustment, but findings concerning how this looks online are only recently emerging.
Other research interests include the benefits and costs of prosocial behavior and the environmental and genetic correlates of conduct disorder and antisocial personality disorder.

Subjective assumption? Admittedly, yes. And it's hardly fair to leap to conclusions about a person based on one date idea—or one mouthful of eggshell. So if we were to look for something more quantitative on preferences and compatibility, what—to play Sigrid for a moment—could we learn from the data?
Dating site OKCupid—"We do math to get you dates"—has a reputation for extracting provocative correlations from the 1.2 billion questionnaire responses it reports receiving from 14 million users. A year ago, a post on OKCupid's blog went viral with the finding that, among women, answering yes to the question "Do you like the taste of beer?" correlates with a 60 percent greater willingness to have sex on the first date.
OKCupid recently shared an exclusive preview of a titillating new correlation soon to be released: The spicier one likes their food, the likelier they are to have a taste for taking the lead in bedroom bondage. Specifically, OKCupid compared readers' answers to the questions "How spicy do you like your spicy food?" and "Would you rather be tied up during sex/do the tying/avoid bondage altogether?" Among the people who "like it mild" at mealtime, 26 percent expressed a desire to tie someone up. In the "I like it a little spicy" group, that number rose to 32 percent. In the "I like it hot" group, 39 percent, and in the "I like it extremely hot" group, nearly 43 percent wanted to take charge of the rope.
Yet how does one correct for the possibility that a fondness for hot chili and cold beer may not necessarily signal "eager dominatrix" so much as say "That's right, I'm from Texas"? And looking back to Stein and Nemeroff's study, will someone who sprinkles Tabasco on their salad be presumed to be a nicer dominatrix than one who splashes it all over a cheeseburger?
Food has always been a cultural signifier, a reflection of one's heritage and class. Yet never before in the history of courtship have we been able to seek or exclude a potential mate based on their feelings toward, say, guanciale. And it stands to reason that as our culture becomes ever more food-forward, we will assign more and deeper meaning to the food choices that we and others make.
Today, with the benefit of a decade spent with Sigrid, I understand the eggshell incident for what it is: a reflection of how deeply, wonderfully curious she is. But the question remains: At face value, just how much can eating habits reveal? And now that we have the technology at hand, can we find a mate who's kind, or kinky, using food as a proxy? Questionnaires and search tools on dating sites are inviting a whole generation to try.

It took me a minute to grasp what Volvo meant by "roam delivery" service to connected cars.
Say you've ordered something online and you're not home when the product arrives. You have to make alternate plans in order to complete the transaction, and the delivery service incurs extra costs when it has to come by again – because they're not going to enter your home when you're not there.
But your car is different, or at least it could be.
Volvo Cars – the same Volvo Cars that demonstrated "autonomous parking" – is demonstrating the feasibility and advantages of roam delivery service to connected cars.
Its digital keys technology will allow consumers to choose their car as a delivery option when ordering goods online. The owner will be informed via a smartphone or tablet when a delivery requires dropping off or picking up from the car.
When a delivery has been accepted, a digital key is activated that tracks when the car is opened and then locked again. Once the delivery is completed, the digital key ceases to exist.
Volvo says the system is based on technology in its Volvo On Call telematics app, which also makes it possible to remotely heat or cool the car and see its position or fuel level via the mobile device.
According to research conducted for Volvo, some 60% of people who shopped online last year were not at home to receive what they ordered. Failed first-time deliveries cost delivery firms an estimated €1 billion from having to re-deliver.
Digital keys now make it possible to transform the car into a pickup and drop-off zone no matter where the vehicle owner may be at the time of delivery. A pilot program revealed that 92% of people found it more convenient to receive deliveries to their car than to their home.
"We are now further investigating the technology of digital keys and new consumer benefits linked to it," says Klas Bendrik, Group CIO at Volvo Car Group.

So I registered for a Darkroom Photography class on Tuesday mornings today, whoooopeee! :) I've wanted to take it for a long time so I was happy.
Then I went to the eye doctor to get a new prescription for my glasses and contacts. I don't even really wear my contacts, hardly ever. I just get annoyed with having to go through putting them on everyday, and getting used to wearing them. And I forget a lot when I do wear them, glasses are much simpler. I only need them to see far away, drive, watch tv, and go to movies.
But anyway the strange thing. The optomologist (spelling?) switched me from the Pure Vision contacts to...the Oasis contacts. I didn't even realize how strange this was till I was in the car and almost home. I just smiled, I took it as some kind of cosmic omen that I was destined to find Oasis. =)
Well now I need to get back to replying to all my PM's from Oasis buddies! Between you guys and the Teen Newspaper Application I'm starting, I could write a book. Not that I'm complaining. =)
wanted to get contacts... but then my parents are so bitchy about the rare possibility of getting infected, which always upsets me.
Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
huh, I never really thought about the whole chance of infection thing. yikes, i knew there was a reason for my aversion to contacts.
awesome...it's optometrist by the way...
That's so straight. No, seriously.
oh, thanks. I really can spell, but I still misspell things all the time.
...ophthalmologist? My appointment is on October 23!
Oasis contacts.
That is a cosmic sign that you were meant for Oasis. :)

Fatal Motorcycle Accident on Carrs Mill Road
[Fallston, MD, November 27, 2011] – At approximately 10:55am on Sunday, November 27, 2011, Harford County Sheriff's Office deputies responded to a fatal accident involving a 2005 Kawasaki motorcycle and a 2004 Honda Civic that occurred in the 1700 block of Carrs Mill Road in Fallston, MD. The motorcycle was operated by Adam Charles Wyatt, age 29, of the 500 block of Chrome Road in Rising Sun, MD. The Honda Civic was operated by Dennis Theodore Keeney 3rd, age 20, of the 6600 block of Blackhead Road in Middle River MD.
Preliminary investigation by the Harford County Sheriff's Office Traffic Unit determined that the motorcycle was traveling northbound in the 1700 block of Carrs Mill Road near the intersection of Wildwood Drive, when the operator of the motorcycle, descended a hill, entered a curve and was ejected when he lost control of the motorcycle. Both motorcycle and rider slid along the roadway crossing into the southbound lane of Carrs Mill Road and were struck by the 2004 Honda Civic driven by Keeney, who was unable to stop in time to avoid impact. The driver of the motorcycle was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. The driver of the Civic was wearing a seat belt. There was no presence or odor of alcohol detected on either driver.
As EMT's and paramedic personnel from Fallston Volunteer Fire Company assessed the operator of the motorcycle, Wyatt, it was rapidly determined that he had suffered multi-system trauma. He was pronounced deceased by the Fallston Volunteer Fire Company paramedic on scene.
Preliminary investigation determined that the motorcycle was the at fault driver in the accident, however as in all fatal motor vehicle accidents, the States Attorney's Office will review the investigation to determine if any charges will be filed.

Yeah it doesn't seem like implementing it would be a big deal. The only real question is who's eligible to be an elector and who's eligible to be elected. Maybe the top 20-30 bishops (approximate size for the time period), where "top" is done first by rank (so a bishop-prince would outrank a bishop) then, by reign length (seniority), then by Learning stat.
Who's eligible to be elected Pope is actually a much trickier issue. Layman could be elected pope (and at least one was, to my knowledge, John XIX) and would just be ordained before taking office as Pope. So it's actually kind of arguable that the "cardinals" should be able to elect any Catholic man as Pope... but I think for purposes of the game it'd be fine if they just elected one amongst themselves.
I was a little disappointed when I played as the Count of Orvieto and found that there was little I could do to influence the papal elections, as I was actually wanting to basically re-enact the Rule of the Harlots (Pornocracy) mentioned earlier. But I can see why they didn't focus on it on the core game.
However, being able to get people in your family uplifted to positions in the clergy very much fits into the dynastic aspect of the game, in my opinion, even if it's not core. It was common for second or third sons to be encouraged to take up such a career in order to protect the inheritance and gain alliances with the Church. It is not essential to gameplay, for certain, but it would enhance it as an add-on.
As far as modding it in (as opposed to waiting for a DLC), the matter of a titular duchy is a bit antsy because you cannot have two lieges and that means Cardinals would be sworn to the Church, which would result in the Papacy (or Ecumenical Patriarchy) scooping up Prince-Bishoprics across the map. This is more a question for the modding forum, but I wonder if an event can be triggered for all Cardinals for the election.
In the idea of simplicity, we have a decision for the Pope to name a Bishop or other ecclesiastical character (the game files have a "priest" modifier so that helps it along) as a Cardinal. Making this trigger for the AI may be a bit tricky, but it would increase relations between the two and give a prestige/piety bonus to the Cardinal. A decision like asking for a papal indulgence can be added for a ruler to nominate their court chaplain as a Cardinal (increasing relations between ruler/pope or decreasing them if the request is denied, probably requiring an amount of gold and piety as well), and one can add an ambition for priestly characters to become a Cardinal (with an associated event tree where they request the Pope to give them the cardinalate.)
Then, whenever a pope dies, there's a series of events wherein three candidates are chosen from the pool of cardinals: the one with the highest piety, the one with the highest prestige, and the one with the highest gold. Each of the options gives a bonus to the related trait (the voting cardinal thus gains piety, prestige, or gold from his choice), and represents the different reasons the College would support one of the candidates. The votes are counted and in theory the pope chosen from the one with the most support.
I don't even know if it's possible for a leader to be chosen via event like this, or if an event can be coded to "count" votes, but on paper it sounds simple. The key is to keep it simple in the basic setup, stuff like interregnum might overcomplicate it (as I don't think a leaderless state is quite possible with the game as-is).
About the Prince-Bihopriocs issue, It's probably possible to have the freshly elected pope giving up his previous titles and causing a normal bishopric succession for those holdings.
That would be ideal, if only to avoid little Papacies appearing all over the map.
I think we should have a set number of cardinals (appointed by the Pope based on his relations with those holding bishoprics and their lieges, and the canidates piety). Once the Pope dies, the cardinals elect a new Pope based on their relationships with the possible canidates and the canidates piety (among other cardinals and maybe some of the top bishops). Possible you could get events of canidates asking that you support their bid for Pope with a monetary contribution (which would give a permanent relations boost) or a cardinal who is your liege asks for your advice on who to support depending on how much he likes you or his traits. Any holdings vacated by the newly elected Pope stay within their realm and are inherited as if the previous holder died. I would be very happy with that and it would provide more opportunity to have dynamic relations with the Pope.
So you don't think it benefits the dynasty to be able to place your son/cousin/uncle on the Papal Throne? Being able to influence such things then could allow you to more easily get certain benefits from the Pope (better relations since at least in theory you'd get the "same dynasty" modifier - could lead to reduced costs for divorce/invasion/excommunication, and possibly protection from these last two).
*This space deliberately left blank*
Election in church, christian one, has been more about politics than anything else.
Virtue ever only a un-draw factor, especialy if you consider the actual line of popes Are a line of usurpers since Avignon popes.
The anti Avigon pope wasn t even elected he was put on power by peasant revolts who wanted an italian pope, and they put the most popular one on it.
But a college of cardinal were election is based on a serie of factors would be awesone.
Could be something like:
Becoming a cardinal, must be bishop:
Average of Knowledge and Diplomacy
Average of personal prestige and Piety
Sum of 0.1 to each dinasty prestige point +1 point for evey virtue trait, and -1 to every sin trait + .1 to every gold donated to church by dinasty
Same rules can be applied to pope alection among cardinal or a mix
Apart from list of existing bishops that the game would have to compile i don t think this would be too hard to implement, or would it ? No idea.
Exodus 15:3
The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is his name.
The rest is marketing.
I really do agree with this idea, i would love to have my son as pope

AvroLancaster: Guy joins the forums in 2013.
Lurks without making a single post until 2015.
First post is to resurrect an 11-month old thread from 2014 with a cryptic sentence fragment.
Secret Bears confirmed
That's true.
But, maybe I can't forget that the Pope who calls for Crusade...
The last game I made, popes were often ridiculous teenagers: these "elections" seem to forget the Gregorian Reform period.
It's your point of view.
Please, note I didn't say that I think the election mechanism need to be "historical", but only "logical".
It's not the case at this time.
Yes, I know. You think that the game is only about dynasties.
And you are right...
But with the previous version of the game, I have often tried to put a character from my dynasty on the Holy See.
So, it isn't clearly off topic.
And my argument is that, conversely, the role of the Pope is essential in a game focused on the history of the Crusades.
(More than knowing, as we read regularly, if you can play with a pagan or republican family).
I'm not asking for substantial changes, but at least the return of a more logical system, as we could found in the first version of the game.
I can understand that this issue doesn't concern your opinion about this (moreover, always interesting) game, but I don't see how you can think that it's almost irrelevant...
Of course, that doesn't make me stop playing the game, but this issue seems more important to me that other minor problems, because it's hard coded and can not be resolved by any mod (as I know).
While I am all for a College of Cardinal system for the election of the Pope, the problem here is that In Nomini Domine limited the actual voting electors to the 7 Suburbican Sees of Rome. Voting by the whole College (Cardinal-Bishops, Cardinal-Priests & Cardinal-Deacons) didn't occur until the late 1100s. Unfortunately, the Cardinal System we think is Medieval is actually more Renaissance. Even in this period it was rare to find a Pope that was from outside of the Roman Province let alone outside of Italy. These Cardinals were actual Bishops, Priests or Deacons of their churches/dioceses in Rome, not just titular holders like they are now.

Great OP
Unless otherwise specified, everything is my opinion and should not be construed as fact.
The same goes for the Ecumenical Partiarch and any other head of religion you might want to add- I've added Catholicos-Patriarch of the Church of the East (nestorians) and Pope of Alexandria (monophysites) and they all elect various morons.
Elder Kings: An Elder Scrolls Modification for Crusader Kings 2
Well the Dark ages to early middle ages saw people put into the Papacy including Silvestre II right before game start so as long as it doesn't interfere with the anti-pope mechanic I am all for some sort of system where you dont get a syphilitic inbred freak with learning of 2 as the Pope.
If they implement Cathedrals as an upgrade church holding for capitals, which I hope they do at some point then they could chose the best candidate from them automatically with the highest learning and piety. Dropping that title and assuming the Papacy. Could do it now with the highest learning/piety Bishop who loses land but I would rather see Cathedrals.
It would be a great thing to add. Fully support the college of cardinal
this is an area of crusader kings 2 that has dissapointed me, i.e. the total exclusion of any religious mechanics! its madness! lol....... there should deffinately be an inclusion of the college of cardinals, i doubt it would be that hard for the devs to create considering the already indepth dynasty system they have made. Or even if they made a comprehensive religious dlc, i would buy it (only if it was indepth though, nothing hollow).
so yes +1

You've nurtured your plans your entire life. Fed them. Loved them. Taught them how to read.
Then you hit your twenties and your plans run off with a biker gang in the middle of the night, and the last time you hear from them they're somewhere in Jackson, Wyoming working at the Piggly Wiggly.
Can you relate?
I've written about the 25 Signs You're Having a Quarter Life Crisis, now here are the nine signs your 20s aren't going exactly as you planned, and then why that actually might be a good thing.
Photo by Designm.ag – Creative Commons. Design by Paul Angone
9 Signs Your Twenties Are Not Going as Planned
1. You're living back with your parents. In your old room. And you just came down on a Saturday morning to see, strangely enough, a list of chores stuck on the kitchen cabinet with YOUR NAME on it.
And just like that you're fifteen again.
At least take solace that there's now a record high 21 million other twentysomethings living at home in the United States alone. Millions of twentysomethings are posting amazing pictures of their lives on Instagram, then going back to their bedroom with their plane and train bedspread. They just don't exactly take a picture of that.
2. You're working a crappy job you don't want, in a field that you didn't know existed, and are pretty sure every day working there cuts five days off of your life expectancy.
3. You still have acne.
Seriously God? Still? As if living back in my bedroom with pictures of trains on the bedspread is not enough with a curfew of 11:00 p.m. But acne? I might as well start cramming for my Chemistry final and
4. You're a fully committed, full profile, full throttle Internet dater. Under an alias of course. Just in case The Google decides to tell the world.
5. You would gladly accept a non-paying internship in a good company, but you can't even get hired to work for someone for free.
A. There's 553 applications to be given the grand opportunity to be paid nothing.
B. You have to be in college to get hired for it. So you enroll in The History of the Forrest at your local community college so you can check the box — Yes I'm still a college student.
6. You're driving the same Honda or Toyota you've had since high school — 220,000 miles later. Granted there's no air conditioning, right mirror, power steering, and the back seats are filled with an assortment of fast-food wrappers, clothes, a Halloween costume, your 2011 tax returns, a 64 pack of Mountain Dew, and a small, growing family of raccoons. Yet, it still runs so you keep driving it. And the racoons seem content. (I might have just fully described to you my 1993 Honda Civic Hatchback. No jokes here).
7. As I wrote in 25 Signs You're Having a Quarter-life Crisis: "Your part-time, temporary job at Starbucks has lasted three and ½ years."
8. Every night you swear you're going to do something productive. Work on that resume, hammer out that business plan, novel, website…,but dang it, if there wasn't a Duck Dynasty marathon on again…
9. The only thing you've figured out in your twenties is everything you DON'T want to do.
As I wrote in my book 101 Secrets for your Twenties:
"Being in your twenties is about playing a game of Emerging Adult Elimination. Every time you cross something off the list, you're coming closer to naming a winner.
Why Your Plans Not Going as Planned is a Good Thing
It doesn't exactly feel like a good thing when you're sitting there watching your plans go up in flames like a brush fire.
But let's be honest — we never really had a plan in the first place. Or at least, not a good one.
We had a dream of making a difference or braggable amounts of money, but we didn't have this strategic plan on how we were going to get there.
Amazing was just going to kind of happen.
But when your plans don't go as planned it forces you, kicking and screaming, to find a better plan.
Your twenties are about slowly building a plan that actually has a foundation to it – built on failures, strengths, mistakes, values, wrong turns, vision, etc.
Your twenties are about building a plan based on who you are, who you're not, and who you're becoming.
Your twenties are about failing, tweaking, then trying again.
One of the most crucial skills we can learn in our twenties is adaptability.
"All failure is failure to adapt, all success is successful adaptation." – Max McKeown, Adaptability: The Art of Winning in an Age of Uncertainty.
One of the most important traits we forge in our twenties is resiliency.
Our twenties are not about them going as we planned, but how we adapt, change, and grow when they don't.
I'd love to hear from you in the comments below:
How have your twenties NOT turned out like you thought they would?

Cloud Storage allows you to effectively use our cloud as a big object database, similar to other big data solutions as a sort of key/value pair lookup engine that allows you to share/sync between devices.
The Cloud Bind (tm) solution allows you to seamlessly bind components such as lists, text components etc. to the cloud where changes automatically persist to the Cloud Storage and data is automatically fetched from there.
These are currently limited only to pro users mostly because we haven't yet figured out the free quotas we want to allocate for free/basic users. We will publish more tutorials and information when we have this fleshed out.
We also added an iPhone 5 simulator skin allowing you to generate iPhone 5 resolution screenshots.
And we finally added a bar code/qr code reader API. However, this wasn't as easy as one would suspect. The problem is that ZXing our API of choice for the QR code in the demo, doesn't do barcodes on iOS... So we had to use a different implementation on iOS which might not be as good as ZXing with QR codes. So the old native approach will still work if you want it too, but you don't have to because we have a much simpler API.
There is allot more coming in the next couple of months... Stay tuned.

According to lol wiki: http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Hidden_passive Law of Inverse Ninja Strength: Ninjas are more effective when they work alone. -1 health for every allied ninja. This applies only to the ninja characters: Akali, Kennen, and Shen. [1] This passive is cancelled when allied ninjas are all wearing their medical skins. Prowl: Nidalee's Prowl grants her the power of a "cougar". Nearby allied champions gain +5 experience every 5 seconds if they are a lower level than Nidalee. [2] Sunlight: Leona's Sunlight deals one less damage to champion skins wearing sunglasses (e.g., Vayne, Surfer Singed and the Commando skins).[3] Cassiopeia's hidden passive removes all snakes on the map. It is the one and only passive that alters the game field. If Skarner stands still in a brush for twelve seconds, he may shout out a secret joke. This can't happen twice without leaving the bush he'd just stood still in. When Graves's Smokescreen hits an opposing Nocturne, Graves will sometimes shout a special taunt. When Fizz's Chum the Waters kills an enemy yordle (or small champion), the shark swallows the body, instead of the body lying on the ground till respawn.[4]. This does not seem to affect Heimerdinger or Teemo. Volibear and Zilean share a hidden passive, stemming from Zileas's opposition to an armored bear champion on the forums. Volibear's hidden passive gives him a buff whenever there is a Zilean is on the enemy team that says "Chronokeeper Hater; Not even Zilean could keep an armored bear out of the League of Legends." He also shouts out special emotes whenever he kills Zilean. (also grants 11 extra gold from killing Zilean) Zilean's hidden passive gives him a buff whenever there is a Volibear is on the enemy team that says "Armored Bear Hater; In my day, we would never have allowed an armored bear into the League of Legends." (also grants 10 extra gold from killing Volibear) Other: When the first Champion Spotlight was released for Lee Sin, it was stated that his hidden passive was blindness, which made the entire screen blurry while playing him at all times, but rendered him immune to abilities such as Teemo's Blinding Dart and Nocturne's Paranoia. However, this turned out to be an April Fool's Day joke.[5]
dude rily... "Than morde says HUHEUEHUE your team gets outo win" < so true.
Hmm, I always thought there was something with Gangplank and MF, seeing she is a Pirate Hunter and he is a Pirate...
there is none, they just have cool passives (A)
Leona Sunlight one has been proven false.
It's pretty boss, but not as boss as medical ninjas!
There is also another hidden passive for Leona, sunfire cape does to her -1 magic damage. Yes its true don't think I joke riot said it.
Fizz's passive is missing from the wiki apparently... When his ulti kills a yordle, it does not leave a corpse behind.

There was good news this morning for the majority of East Anglia's local arts companies with eight out of nine organisations in Suffolk keeping their status as National Portfolio organisations which means they keep their Arts Council funding.
The Theatre Royal in Bury St Edmunds was the big loser as they were dropped from the list.
The New Wolsey Theatre and DanceEast got a boost in their funding. Others who received the same level of funding or a slight drop were Aldeburgh Music, Eastern Angles, Gecko Theatre Company, HighTide Festival, The Robert Pacitti Company and Tilted Productions.
In Essex Colchester's Mercury Theatre kept its funding as did the Colchester Arts Centre along with Firstsite art centre.
Read tomorrow's EADT for a full roundup.

A very simplistic view RC. The New Wolsley for example recently hosted Oklahoma by the Appeal company and all profits from Appeal go to charity. Oklahoma raised money for FIND and Suffolk Family Carers. The New Wolsley is a very popular theatre and is very accepting if you are disabled so I am very happy for lottery funding to go to this brilliant theatre. It is not easy to run a theatre and keep seat prices as low as possible so everyone can afford to go.

What a waste of money. Arts places should be self funded, if they can't fund themselves then they're obviously not that popular and we don't need them. Think of the good all that money could have done to actual charities.

Whether you like a good Lightsaber battle, darting through mass relays or a healthy balance of the two, it's hard to resist making comparisons between BioWare's Mass Effect franchise and Lucas' Star Wars.
Bioware's own Knights of the Old Republic aside, Star Wars has stagnated in recent years and been diluted by numerous shoddy spin-offs and tie-ins. Meanwhile, Mass Effect has been going from strength to strength, even managing to produce a few I-can't-believe-this-is-actually-good tie-in novels, comics and other fan bait products.
This leads us to one conclusion: Mass Effect > Star Wars.
We've come up with five reasons to illustrate our outlandish opinions and stuck them below, here us out before you launch a crusade to have us killed won't you?
We get to mingle with aliens
Aliens are a big part of Star Wars, but think back to the movies; remember any extraterrestrials that really stood out from the bunch? No, we don't either. More importantly, they only show up to discuss Yoda's spidey-senses, dance scantily clad in a jazz club or get brutally slaughtered.
We aren't saying Star Wars lacks great diversity - the animated Clone Wars series proves its depth - but the films don't capitalise on it, appearances made by extraterrestrials are largely brief and insignificant.
Mass Effect gives Lucas the finger and widens the focus by bringing us close to alien companions. We not only see them fill more screen time, we grow to care about them. We garner an interest in their race and history, and we want to keep them on our side. Politics and discussions still play an important part in the proceedings, but they're actually worth listening to in Mass Effect because they often directly impact you.
We also get the option to bed some of them, provided you build a meaningful relationship over dozens of hours beforehand. Can't do that in Star Wars.

My dog loves this bed!
Our 90-pound dog likes to sleep in many, many positions, and this bed very comfortably accommodates them all. You can tell that HE loves it, and that's what counts. There is good support for propping his head at many different angles, and plenty of room for his body to go in any direction, length- or width-wise. There is also good body support all around. 'Buddy' is a late sleeper, and the design of this bed allows him to shut out the morning sun by burying his snout in the soft, cozy crevice between the bed and the bolster. The fabric is very soft but looks quite durable, and the mattress firm but not too firm. My wife took the bed apart when it arrived to determine how easily the cover can be cleaned, and it evidently passed this test too with flying colors,.

My puppy prefers the floor to this
The good ... it's really well made and looks great. The bad ... my puppy would rather sleep on the floor. When he does climb onto it, he sinks into the bolsters which are not stable enought to support him (he only weighs 36 pounds)... at which point he gets off the bed as he doesn't feel secure. The pillow is a waste as the zipper is not covered, which makes it a really interesting chew toy for him, Again, looks great, but pointless if it can't be used safely ... and yes, he is well-trained ... just not with zippered pillows. I have no idea how it will wash, but I have a feeling it would be a nightmare. I suspect I'll never have to find out as he won't sleep on it. I bought a substantially cheaper bolster bed at a big-box pet store, and he prefers that 100x over this. Glad other people have had good experience, but I am not one of them. If your pet prefers ANY support, this is the wrong bed for them.

I had purchased a luxury dog bed 9 mos ago which fell apart at the seams. I tried sewing them up but it got ahead of me so I called Frontgate to see if I could get a new one at a discount. I was told I would get a full refund since products are guaranteed for one year. I was amazed and grateful. Used the refund to purchase another dog bed of the same design, different maker. I was very impressed with Frontgate's responsible policy. Not many retailers stand behind their products to this extent.

Comfy Couch Pet Bed
I have never written a review before, but had to let potential customers in on this purchase. I have a standard poodle who is six now. We have been through 3-4 other beds and he has never been interested in sleeping in his 'own' bed, preferring to crowd us out of our bed! When this bed arrived he was immediately happy to rest and sleep on the Comfy Couch Bed! He is happy and we are sleeping better! I highly recommend this purchase. We have the extra large bed for our dog who is 60 lbs. It's perfect! Great purchase!

Cuddle bed works for cats too!
Our cats have always loved these bolster beds from Frontgate, often sharing the large sizes with one of the dogs. After 5 years, we decided to get them a medium bed of their own. They enjoy the bed and snuggle right up to the bone pillow which was monogrammed "Mine". Very sturdy bed which looks great even after years of washing the covers.

Perfect Purchase!
We purchased the large bed and our 57 lb. boxer absolutely loves it! He claimed it the minute it came out of the box. We are very pleased with this purchase and the monogrammed free pillow is icing on the cake!

Inshore Fishing at the Crystal CoastCrystal Coast Tourism AuthorityThe Crystal Coast offers a range of fishing options Anglers love North Carolina's coastal waters, and for good reason – whether you're fishing inshore or offshore, you'll find a wide variety of fish ready to bite. If you want some of the best of inshore action, then head to the Crystal Coast. From the Cape Lookout National Seashore down to Emerald Isle, there's hardly a spot where you can't catch a fish, if you know where to look. Leave knowing where to find the fish to the experts. A number of guides and fishing outfitters know the best place and may even share their favorite fishing holes and those secret local spots with you on a trip. Thanks to large, open, sandy-bottomed sounds that filter water flowing in from rivers and inlets, the Crystal Coast boasts some of the clearest water in North Carolina. Here you'll find a number of rod-bending, drag-screaming fish that you can often see – provided you have polarized sunglasses – before you even cast on them. The variety of fish may draw anglers to the Crystal Coast, but it's the size of each species that keeps them coming back. Flounder, red drum, black drum, striped bass (called stripers) speckled trout, sheepshead, ladyfish (also known as a skipjack or poor-man's tarpon) and more frequent these waters, and their size can be both intimidating and challenging. In the spring, you can chase cobia up to 90 pounds. In the fall, it's black drum at around 100 pounds. Summer months, guides will put you on flounder the size of welcome mats in many inlets. For the biggest striped bass and speckled trout, the coldest months of the year – January and February – are your best bet. Want to catch them all? Pay a visit in April or May, when the water temperatures are climbing toward 70 degrees and every fish around is active and ready to be caught. Red drum, or redfish, as you'll hear the locals call them, don't follow the seasonal trends of other fish; instead, they're available year-round in the temperate, shallow waters of the Crystal Coast. Fishing for red drum will take you into the winding marsh creeks, where they like to school to breed and spawn. They're fun to catch, and when you find a school, you can pull one in on just about every cast. Averaging between four and eight pounds, redfish put up a fun fight, but if you catch one of the so called "bull reds," the biggest fish in the school, they can tip the scales at a whopping 60 pounds and leave you tired after a long and adrenaline-pumping fight. Many anglers will find fishing for red drum very similar to fishing on inland rivers and lakes. They love to chase top water baits and most freshwater bass tackle, so bring your best lures and plenty of sunscreen, because as the weather gets hotter, so do the red fish. Hiring a guide is the way to go, especially if you want to familiarize yourself with fishing in coastal North Carolina or if you're new to the sport. Most guides carry blanket North Carolina fishing licenses, they all carry adequate safety gear and they know the tides, weather and fishing holes. But, if you want to go it on your own, many marinas rent boats or you can bring your own, or you can try something new like kayak or paddleboard fishing (two new challenges in their own right). If you decide to bring a boat, be sure to get the proper fishing licenses from the North Carolina Division of Marine Fisheries (licenses are available online or at most sporting goods stores), a chart of the area and a tide chart. Shallow drafting boats work best in marsh creeks, especially when they're outfitted with an electric trolling motor. If you cast your line ocean-side, expect to catch bluefish, Spanish mackerel, flounder, the occasional shark and even grouper. Your best bet is to fish in areas with a "live" bottom where coral, plant life and other features draw baitfish and larger, hungry fish, like inlets and jetties. If you happen to hook a grouper, be ready for a fight – they're big, strong fish – and a good meal after. Peter Anderson and Jason Frye contributed to this story

On Sunday a bunch of us met up at TokBox and chatted. It again was HILARIOUS! I know this is the worlds worst picture but I had to take the picture RIGHT then. I was not about to miss that EYE!
I cannot remember whose eye that is. Landileighs maybe? From left to right there is me, George who is using his flashlight to check for retinopothy??? John (I think!) sans needle hat, Karen who I could barely hear :( but did talk about some american flag knitted socks, Rachel, Kelly who needs an entire entry dedicated to her HILARITY on Tokbox, Cherise who is not at her computer, Sara who looks a little Blair Witch project-ish in this shot. She had just finished having her eye up on the screen. I think that is Landileigh the blue eye!! Scott and his little girl Bella! Scott celebrated 29 years on Sunday when we chatted!
I'd say it was better than the first time, it should be a requirement that everyone has headphones. Without them you get echo of death.
I'm not sure what was going on with the weird delay we had going on this time but it was FUNNY! Kelly could only hear what happened 5 minutes ago, so she would respond to things being said long after they were said. I was cracking up! At one point she said "ok now I'm saying hi to a dog that is no longer on the screen!" We had all seen Georges dog 5 minutes before. Oh man was it funny.
I really like chatting with other diabetics, it is even though we don't really talk that much about diabetes I like it that way. :) Except for the blood sugar challange. Whoever has the lowest blood sugar wins! They don't win anything except a WOOHOOYOUWIN!! I think I almost won that time at 83mg/dL. I feel like someone else was 81.
I hope we can get everything figured out so we can actually have a nice chat soon!!

USDA Announces Grants to Develop Childhood Obesity Prevention Programs
Media Contact: Jennifer Martin, (202) 720-8188
WASHINGTON, April 2, 2013 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) announced today $5 million in four grants to universities throughout the nation to develop childhood obesity intervention programs. The awards were made by USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). USDA remains focused on carrying out its mission, despite a time of significant budget uncertainty. Today's announcement is one part of the Department's efforts to strengthen the rural economy.
"Obesity is the number one nutritional problem in America, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity rates have tripled in the past 30 years," said Sonny Ramaswamy, NIFA director. "Our goal in funding these projects is to lower this rate in children and adolescents and put them on a healthy path for the rest of their lives."
The long-term goal of USDA-sponsored obesity research is to reduce the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children and adolescents. This year's funding is focused on supporting research programs aimed at generating new knowledge of behavioral, social and environmental factors that influence childhood obesity and using this information to develop and implement effective family, peer, community and school-based interventions. The projects are focused on preventing overweight and obesity and promoting healthy behaviors in adolescents ages 15 to 19. Each award decision was made through a competitive selection process based on scientific merit.
Fiscal year 2012 awards include:
- Tuskegee University, Tuskegee, Ala., $25,000. This project will document taste preferences for fat and sweet foods in African American adolescents and enhance the research infrastructure and capacity in obesity, food product development and sensory evaluation research at Tuskegee University.
- University of Kentucky, Lexington, Ky., $149,074. This project will examine the drivers of food shopping patterns, behaviors and food purchasing choices adolescents and their parents that could lead to interventions in the future.
- Fairleigh Dickinson University, Teaneck, N.J., $149,992. This project will examine on-campus food choices of college students to help inform college dining policy.
- Oregon State University, Corvallis, Ore., $4,671,604. This project will teach life skills, such as gardening, food preparation, and food preservation skills, in addition to nutrition and physical activity education to support sustainable healthy eating and adequate physical activity among 4-H soccer team players.
The grants are awarded through NIFA's Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) childhood obesity prevent program, which focuses on the number one nutrition-related problem in the United States. The program supports multi-function integrated research, education and extension projects.
AFRI is NIFA's flagship competitive grant program and was established under the 2008 Farm Bill. AFRI supports work in six priority areas: plant health and production and plant products; animal health and production and animal products; food safety, nutrition and health; renewable energy, natural resources and environment; agriculture systems and technology; and agriculture economics and rural communities.
USDA has made a concerted effort to deliver results for the American people, even as USDA implements sequestration – the across-the-board budget reductions mandated under terms of the Budget Control Act. USDA has already undertaken historic efforts since 2009 to save more than $700 million in taxpayer funds through targeted, common-sense budget reductions. These reductions have put USDA in a better position to carry out its mission, while implementing sequester budget reductions in a fair manner that causes as little disruption as possible.
Through federal funding and leadership for research, education and extension programs, NIFA focuses on investing in science and solving critical issues impacting people's daily lives and the nation's future. For more information, visit www.nifa.usda.gov.
