MSU-N Back to School 2014
2 August 2014 BACK TO SCHOOL MSU-N www.havredailynews.com A welcome from the Chancellor As we enter the start of another school term, who would have thought that Weird Al's "Word Crimes" would have been so pivotal in emphasizing the importance of good grammar and correct English? That's the great thing about education. Opportunities are everywhere to be informed, enlightened, challenged and transformed. These opportunities abound in the classrooms of the Hi-Line's excellent schools — from kindergarten through college. Vernon Howard, a lifelong observer of the human condition, has noted, "Always walk through life as if you have something new to learn, and you will." There is no time better than now for us all to continue our journey. James M. Limbaugh Chancellor, Montana State University-Northern 3 August 2014 BACK TO SCHOOL MSU-N www.havredailynews.com Activities galore at MSU-Northern John Paul Schmidt firstname.lastname@example.com Students returning to Montana State University-Northern or attending the college for the first time will be able to take part in many events throughout the semester, especially in the first week or so of school. "We're trying a few new things to get the students in the residence halls to attend more activities," said Denise Brewer, the director of student activities. Brewer said that throughout the year, there will be a competition between floors of the residence halls to see which floor has the students who go to the most events. The prize for winning the competition will be a pizza party for the floor, Brewer said. "We have a lot of activities going on all the time," Brewer said. She added that during the first 10 days of school, there will be something to do every day. The first Wednesday of every month will be Bingo night, where students will have a chance to win many random and gag prizes and have a chance to win the night's grand prize, which in the past have been items like iPod docks and other larger more expensive items. There will also be a bowling league that the students can join. The league was previously held in the bowling alley in the basement floor of the Student Union Building, but it will be held at Hi-Line Lanes this school year. A hike of Mount Otis in Beaver Creek Park will also be organized, as well as a canoe trip. In the winter, there will also be a ski trip to the Bear Paw Ski Bowl. Homecoming will be Sept. 22 and will include many activities and celebrations that week on campus. Sept. 24, the Be the One Barbecue will be held at the campus to commemorate the centennial year of Northern's acceptance into existence. In 1913, state legislators passed legislation to create a university in north-central Montana. It passed by a single vote, hence "Be the One." Brewer said this theme will run through activities throughout the year. These are just a few of the activities that will be organized by Brewer and others at the university. Student Activities prints a schedule of events for the semester and distributes them in the SUB. "I think it's important that if students come here … they should connect to Northern," Brewer said. "There are all kinds of resources for them to be successful. They should get involved and meet amazing people." Brewer said this year she hopes that students will increase their involvement in events on campus. The university clubs and organizations will have a fair at the SUB Sept. 4 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Anyone can join the clubs and the activities they take part of vary widely. "I encourage them to try everything at least once. Get out of your comfort zone," she said. Welcome to Northern dance There will be a Welcome to Northern Dance for all students Thursday, Aug. 28, in the Student Union Ballroom at 9 p.m. featuring DJ Jim Branden "The Hit Man."

From left, Program Councilor Sarah Peterson, Senators-at-large Eric Neal and Maure Murdock, Vice President Cory Buckley and President Andrew Potter raised their hands to take the oath of office in front of members of that year's senate members. Steps to a successful education and career Director of University Relations Jim Potter said that there have been a number of improvements to the campus since the Spring semester ended. They have done a lot of work to the welding shop, as well as fixing steps and sidewalks, fixing the elevator in the Montana Actors' Theatre's Little Theatre in Cowan Hall, adding air conditioning to the bookstore and other general maintenance projects. "They're also been working on advising and they're improving that area," Potter said. They will also continue to host the Northern Community Choir and Northern C o m m u n i t y O r c h e s t r a t h i s ye a r, h e added. Anyone who is interested in either group can contact Potter at his office at 265-3727. "MAT will also continue to be housed here and do great shows," Potter said. Potter said if he were to give incoming students any advice, it would be: "Go to class, do your homework and don't tick off the professor." "If you do those three things, you're going to be fine," he added. He also said he always tells students, especially high school students going into college, that there are five things that need to happen in order to have a successful career: • Have something you love to do. • Gain the necessary skills to do what you want to do. • Be able to find someone who's willing to pay you for what you want to do. • Earn enough money to live the way you want to live. • Be able to work with the people you work with every day. "All five of those things have to come together for you to have a successful career," Potter said, adding that college, especially Northern, is just the second step in the process. "It's important to go to college to be able to better yourself," Potter said. "It's also to get a better job and do what you want to in life." 10 August 2014 BACK TO SCHOOL MSU-N www.havredailynews.com Tricks, tips and takes for college freshmen Dr. Brian Harke Dean of Students University of Southern California It's that time of year again when many students begin their first year of college. It's an exciting, but also a stressful time for many. To help, here are 21 tips I share with freshmen each year. I'm sure there are other ways to help ease the transition to college, but after years of watching and working with freshmen students, these stand out as some of the most important. 1. Go to as many orientations and Freshmen Welcome Week events as possible. The more you know about your college, the more at ease you'll feel. Freshmen Welcome Week activities give you a chance to meet people and new friends. Get out of your room and say hello to people. This is one of the few times in your life when everyone around you will also be looking to make friends. 2. Be patient with the idea of having a ro o m m a t e . Adjusting to sharing a room with a stranger can be overwhelming. Most likely, you will wind up being g o o d f r i e n d s w i t h yo u r r o o m m a t e. However, being best friends isn't a priority. Life will be easier if you set up some ground rules with your roommate from the beginning. Have conversations about cleaning, having friends over, respect for each other's space and sleep habits. Don't be afraid to speak up if something is bothering you. 3. Being homesick is OK. It's natural. It's good to text and have facetime with family members, but don't get caught behind the electronic curtain and forget to get out of your room. 4. Get involved. The sooner you get involved with groups or campus activities, the sooner the homesickness will go away. You'll feel connected and make new friends if you explore campus events, activity clubs, religious and philanthropic organizations. Do something besides just going to class, playing video games and thinking about home. 5. Be an advocate for yourself. If something is wrong, speak up. Unlike high school, you don't have teachers and parents watching out for you on a day-to-day basis. You have to recognize when something is wrong, put together a plan to address it and then implement the plan. If you need help figuring out a plan, ask your Resident Advisor, Academic Advisor, roommate, trusted friend or faculty for advice. Try to use your parents as a back up to these other resources. 6. Get organized. In college, instructors give you a class syllabus for the year and expect you to be prepared for class. They won't remind you. Set up a system to keep track of what is due and when tests are scheduled. 7. Find a place and time to study. This may not be your dorm room or library. Find a place that works best for you to get your work done -- a place you can get away from daily distractions. Schedule the same time every day. I know many students that study a couple hours before dinner each night. That way, they have their evening free. 8. Meet with your instructors. Getting to know your instructor pays off in a couple ways. First, they are usually interesting people from whom you can learn a lot. They can also help you network. It's helpful to know your faculty especially if you run into problems in their class. Take advantage of their office hours. Remember to book an appointment early in the term. You don't need a problem to see them. Just stop by and introduce yourself and asked them about their background and how they got into their field. 9. Make friends with your academic advisor. This is your advocate for the next four years. Getting to know them and treating them respectfully will pay off if you hit a snag. 10. Make sure to have fun, but don't have too much fun. College is a balancing act. The best advice I can give is to study harder than you party, but don't get stuck behind a book on a Saturday night. 11. Take advantage of academic resources. Don't wait until you fall behind to find a tutor or study group. Most colleges have academic resources. Ask your advisor or faculty about them. 12. Make time for you. Make sure you schedule some time for yourself. Exercise; take a walk, get off campus. Time away from day-to-day college life will do you wonders. 13. You don't need to rush to declare a major, and it's ok if you decide to switch. College is the time for you to discover what you like and what you are good at. Your interests may change as you take more classes. Don't let peer pressure force you into declaring a major if you aren't ready. Your parents will have opinions. Respect them, but in the end you have to do what feels right to you. 14. Become friends with people in your classes. They will become study buddies and can share notes with you if you miss a class. 15. Eat and sleep. You are now in charge of your schedule. Meals are up to you, as is your bedtime. Too often college students skip meals or don't eat healthy. Avoid the "freshman 15" by minimizing the midnight pizza runs. Try to eat some vegetables and fruit once a day. Sleep b e c o m e s a c o m m o d i t y a t c o l l e g e. Schedule it like you would your classes. Fight the urge to stay up until 2 a.m. talking, Facebooking or playing video games. Being tired for class creates issues that lead to lower grades and affects your mood. 16. Know what medical services are available on campus and use them. If you are sick, go to the doctor. If you get stressed out or have other issues, visit the counseling center. You will be surprised how many students take advantage of the counseling services. It's the new norm. 17. Don't procrastinate. If you wait until the night before something is due and you cram, you probably won't do well and will add a lot of stress to your life. Stay ahead of the game and study a bit every day so things don't come down to the last minute. 18. You will feel overwhelmed. There's a lot going on and you will get stressed out. It's natural. The important thing to know is that you are not the only one. Take a deep breath, slow down and put life back in order. You will be OK. Talk to your friends about it or visit the counseling center. Note: trying to decrease the overwhelmed feelings by drinking or doing drugs may give the allusion of working temporarily, but the feeling will still be there in the morning, plus you'll have a hangover. Find your own coping techniques before you need them: meditation, exercise, alone time, etc. 19. You will get a bad grade. At some time in your academic career you will get a grade you don't like. This doesn't mean you are a failure. You simply didn't do well. Meet with your faculty to understand what didn't work and how you can avoid the issue in the future. Once again, be an advocate for yourself and find a solution to improve next time. 20. Find cheap text books. A single textbook can cost $75-$150. Some classes require multiple text books. Some students who spend close to $1,000 on textbooks each term. Good advice is to buy used text books online. You might also ask others in your dorm if they have the books and want to sell them to you. 21. Not every college student is a partier. Each year many freshmen share with me that they don't think they will fit in because they don't like to party or drink alcohol. Each year I share with them that there are a wide variety of people on campus and a group for everyone. Many students don't party or drink. Like-minded people tend to find each other on a college campus very easily. Don't be afraid to let people know you don't drink. Most students will respect your choice. There are a lot of social things to do that don't include alcohol. The last piece of advice I will give you is to take advantage of everything your college has to offer. Explore and try things you haven't done before. Learn about new cultures, study abroad, take road trips, have dinner with a faculty member, take a class you know nothing about, etc. This is the only time in your life where you will have so much time to explore and, occasionally, make mistakes. That is what college is all about: learning, exploring, making mistakes and growing. Be kind to yourself. Enjoy the next four years!

Each year the center brings in employers that hire interviewing students for internships, full and part-time positions. For both on- and off-campus career opportunities, the Career Center should be the first stop. 12 August 2014 BACK TO SCHOOL MSU-N www.havredailynews.com OK, you've been accepted to college, now to pay for it Kalman A. Chany Princeton Review Books Getting admitted to your choice college is only half the battle; the other half is figuring out how to pay for it. The competition for resources can be stiff, especially in tough economic times. Princeton Review shares tips on planning so that you can take advantage of financial aid. The most important rule? Start early. 1. Start researching aid possibilities sooner rather than later. The competition for aid increases when the economy is weak. Those who plan ahead for the aid process will do much better than those who procrastinate and miss deadlines. 2. Take steps that improve your aid eligibility. For example, if you have lost your job, you should avoid the temptation to spend any assets in your retirement plan. In addition to the likely early distribution penalties and additional income taxes, the higher income will reduce your aid eligibility. 3. Apply for financial aid no matter what your circumstances — flush or not. Applying by the priority deadlines, even if you think you won't qualify, will help you if your finances take a turn for the worst. Some schools will only accept requests for reconsideration due to a decline in income from those students who filed for aid on time — even if they were turned down initially. 4. You should still not initially rule out any school as being too expensive. Many colleges — especially the private ones — have increased their aid budgets to attract applicants whose families are now more price resistant given the state of the economy. But have a back-up plan in case the aid is not enough to attend those pricier schools. Most likely this will mean also applying to a public institution in your home state and/or any school where the student can live at home instead of paying for room and board. 5. Pay less for a four-year degree. You can save on costs if the student attends a community college for two years and then transfers to a pricier school for his or her remaining two years. However, be sure that the college to which the student plans to transfer will accept the credits from the community college. 6. Encourage your student to take as many AP courses as possible and to prep well for AP exams. High scores on AP exams can save considerably on college tuition. Many colleges award course credits for them, which can reduce the amount you need to pay in tuition. 7. Apply strategically to colleges. If you exceed the school's admission criteria, you are much more likely to get a better aid package than a marginal applicant. Be sure to prep for the standardized tests such as the SAT or ACT, so that the student is more desirable. 8. Be realistic about how much debt the student can incur, given the starting salaries for his or her probable major and career path. 9. If you have to borrow, pursue federal loans first and avoid having the student take on private loans at all costs. 10. If your circumstances have a taken a turn for the worst, request additional aid. But expect that the college may require considerable supporting documentation. 11. In addition to your aid planning, focus on planning for the various education tax benefits you can claim. After all, a dollar you can save on your taxes is worth the same as getting an additional dollar in grant or scholarship aid. 12. Don't put tuition on a credit card. This debt is more expensive than ever, given the recent changes to interest rates and other fees that many card issuers are now charging. You also want to be sure you avoid maxing out on your borrowing limit, just in case you need to use the card to pay for an unexpected emergency.

League adds two games to opening slate
Thunder, Warriors to host on Dec. 25
NEW YORK -- Oklahoma City will host Orlando before Blake Griffin and the Los Angeles Clippers visit Golden State on Christmas night, extending the NBA's planned opening-day schedule to five games.
Those games were added Friday to the three that were set when the 2011-12 schedule was originally unveiled: Boston at New York, Miami at Dallas and Chicago at the Los Angeles Lakers.
"I think everybody did it on purpose. But, you know, whatever for the ratings, right?" Miami forward Chris Bosh said. "I use it as motivation. I know they're going to be pumped up."
"You can only imagine how we're going to feel, like we have something to prove again," Mavericks guard Jason Terry said. "'Can these guys do it again? Are they too old?' All those questions will have to be answered."
Commissioner David Stern said the league had hoped to open with that tripleheader after announcing a tentative agreement on a new labor deal with the players last Saturday. But the league decided to add two later games, with the nightcap featuring Mark Jackson's debut as Warriors coach.
The revised 66-game schedule will be released Tuesday night during an NBATV special.
TNT will televise the opener, and ABC gets the Mavs-Heat NBA Finals rematch and the matchup between MVP Derrick Rose and Kobe Bryant, whose Lakers will be playing their first game under former Cleveland coach Mike Brown.
"Everyone is looking at that first game like it's the championship game," Chicago's Luol Deng said. "We're excited. But it's one of 66. We'll be prepared."
The Thunder reached the Western Conference finals last season, defeating the Grizzlies in the semifinals, behind league scoring champion Kevin Durant.
The Dec. 25 opening date is contingent on the CBA's being ratified next week.
Lawyers for the league and players' association resumed negotiations Friday on the remaining issues, the so-called B-list items such as drug-testing, the draft eligibility age and the commissioner's power to discipline.
The goal is to complete the agreement Tuesday so it could be presented at a meeting of player representatives Wednesday, then both sides would vote to ratify it Thursday.
If that happens, training camps and free agency would open next Friday.
Other developments
Bobcats guard looks sharp: Gerald Henderson wasted no time Friday answering the biggest health question involving a Charlotte starter.
"I'm back to 100 percent -- I'm ready to go," Henderson said of his five-month rehab from left hip surgery in Colorado.
Henderson said his legs are stronger than before the operation.
Fisher happy to be at work: Derek Fisher was hoisting jumpers Friday in a solitary shooting drill at the Los Angeles Lakers' quiet training complex.
The NBA players' union president is out of his suits and back in shorts after the league's labor negotiations, focusing on another season with the Lakers.
"I'm grateful for the experience, but hopefully next week we'll be back to basketball," Fisher said Friday. "It was an exhausting ordeal, but I'm still in a good space and looking forward to working with Coach Brown."
That would be new Lakers coach Mike Brown, who finally gets to work more than six months after succeeding 11-time NBA champion Phil Jackson.
Almost every significant player on last season's roster is returning, and the Lakers don't have room to add much more.
"We're hopeful that there will be a player out there who's maybe made money in his career and he is maybe at the back end and is looking for a shot at a championship," GM Mitch Kupchak said, "or maybe we can get a player who is still developing, which is even harder to do, that can play some minutes."
Opening day
Dec. 25; times CST
Boston Celtics at New York Knicks, 11 a.m., TNT
Miami Heat at Dallas Mavericks, 1:30 p.m., WPTY Channel 24
Chicago Bulls at Los Angeles Lakers, 4 p.m., WPTY Channel 24

Israeli air strike kills 2 Hamas fighters near Egyptian border
Published on Sep 20, 2012 10:53 AM
RAFAH, Palestinian Territories (AFP) - An Israeli air strike on the Gaza Strip killed two Hamas fighters near the Egyptian border late on Wednesday, the Islamist movement that controls the Palestinian territory said.
The strike, witnessed by an AFP photographer, hit a car in the town of Rafah on the territory's southern border with Egypt.
The Israeli military issued a statement saying that air force planes "targeted two terror operatives affiliated with the 'Defenders of al-Aqsa' in the southern Gaza Strip. A direct hit was confirmed."
One of those killed, named as Anis Abu Mahmoud el-Anin, was a member of the "terrorist group sponsored by Hamas in the Gaza Strip," the statement added.

The future of commuting could come on three wheels.
A new vehicle being manufactured in Michigan is a car-motorcycle hybrid and can go over 100 mph. But the best part: it gets about 670 miles on a tank of gas.
The Elio is federally classified as a motorcycle because it has three wheels, but has all the comforts of a car. It boasts front-wheel drive, three airbags, seat belts, air conditioning, power windows and door locks.
The Elio is expected to hit the market in 2014 and costs less than $7,000.
The car maker says it will be a true American brand.
We believe that we are going to be able to bring this to market with 95 percent North American content. So it's an American car company built in America with American parts, said Paul Elio with Elio Motors.
Find more information about the Elio on the Elio Motors website.

"Fantastic place to stay in order to explore the area"
This property is centrally located in Pebbles High street. There were 6 adults, two children and 1 dog. Ample room for all. We received a very warm welcome and we were delighted to see that the heating was on, and the flat itself was spotless. Large kitchen with dining area and a large lounge with a dining table for 8. Towels were provided and ample cleaning materials for us to make sure that we left the flat in the same excellent condition we found it in. Thoroughly recommend this as a base to explore the borders or just to chill as we did on a family weekend. There are plenty of places for eating and drinking and the locals are a very friendly bunch. Well worth going back to.

"Warm, comfy & convenient"
Very accomodationg hosts, offering a well heated house. We had a group of 7 friends staying there for a weekends walking, and it was ideal. Plenty of space to sort ourselves a cooked breakfast each morning, and a big roast dinner in the evening around a large dining table. The main bathroom is as an en-suite to a double bedroom, and the second bathroom (with a shower) is very useful but unfortunately a little tight on space. The only other negative comment I would have over this property is that the windows do allow you to be able to hear any street noise, which could bother those who aren't used to it. All in all though, a great house for a large group, plenty of space to relax after an adventurous day, comfy beds and a host offering great flexibility & facilities.

"Great place to explore Peebles and the bike trails"
Great location in the heart of Peebles. Flexible accommodation to suit our group which included family, friends and young children (and dog). Comfy beds, cosy lounge and lovely warm heating which kept out the winter chill. The big winner for us was the proximity to the mountain bike trails at Glentress. You really can ride from the door and there is plenty of room to store bikes and to wash them down post ride. The owner was incredibly helpful and accommodating of our needs. I can't recommend this place enough.

"Very nice flat and very friendly owner"
A group of ten girls stayed there for a hen party weekend. I have to say that the people who own the flat were very nice and friendly and they did made an effort to make our stay comfortable.
it is also very cosy and warm.
it is nice flat to go as a family and Pebbles its worth a visit.
I would definitely recommend it.

I agree that the great players of the past would also be among the top players today, but I think the dominant players of today are just a bit bigger and stronger than, and as quick and fast as, their predecessors. So I would give the edge to the current era players.

The difference is massive! For a start if you don't centre the ball you miss it, hardly no sweetspot.
I agree, and I think this is one of the main reasons why players didn't generally hit the ball as hard in the wood racket era (harder swing = increased chance of hitting outside the sweet spot), and why stroke technique was a little different in the wood racket era.

The weight of the wooden rackets plus a higher of percentage of one-handed backhands produced, generally I think, a more pronounced difference in the size of a player's arms in the wood racket era, imo.

Comments welcome please...........
As I mentioned, I think that the likes of Roger, Rafa, and Novak would, had they been born in the wood racket era, have dominated. Just because they're a little bigger and stronger, and at least as quick and fast as the great wood racket players.
But maybe an argument could be made that the current greats aren't as quick and fast as the wood racket greats.
Anyway, I enjoyed your comments.

Job creation
- Excerpt: "I have been a consistent voice in the Legislature to protect taxpayers and free businesses to hire. We need to promote opportunities for citizens to create and grow businesses of their own and foster a climate that will attract out of state businesses. Long term, we must make sure our children and grandchildren have the education they need to compete in this economy."
Ensuring quality education
- Excerpt: "I firmly believe education must be a top priority if North Carolina is to continue growing and be competitive. An educated workforce attracts higher paying jobs and improves the per capita income of our State. This can be done by giving citizens options so each of us can choose the opportunities best suited for our children."
Safer communities
- Excerpt: "I will work with the business community, senior groups, faith based organizations, community leaders and law enforcement to tackle issues facing our communities."

Two of the Nitro Circus Live performers hoping to thrill
crowds at Forsyth Barr Stadium tomorrow night know what it is
like to overcome life-threatening injuries.
Motocross rider Luke Smith (30), of Auckland, and BMX rider
Jed Mildon (26), of Taupo, have both been severely injured
during previous stunts, but continue to perform. Smith, who
stopped riding after suffering brain damage in a motocross
crash in 2009, is relaunching his career at the stadium.
He was in an induced coma for eight days and spent 18 weeks
recovering from frontal lobe damage and swelling of the brain
after going ''face first'' into the ground - ''my helmet
literally exploded on impact''.
Three years of rehabilitation included learning how to walk
and stand upright again. Several doctors told him that he
would never ride again.
''I had plenty of people say to me `It's never going to
happen again; you've had your time' - but I'm proof that
miracles do happen, if you want something bad enough.''
He was looking forward to performing in Dunedin although
slightly nervous. ''But I can't wait to go out there and do
Mildon, in 2011, was the first person to perform a triple
back flip on a BMX bike. He said every rider was fearful of
injury but that did not dictate how they lived their lives.
''I've broken my back, been knocked out, broken my
collarbones; I've got separated shoulders . . . but we don't
wake up in the morning, going `I hope I don't crash today'.
''We wake up in the morning going `Man, I'm going to have a
real good time today'.''
Anxiety before a trick was normal but riders reassured
themselves about the physics of the jump and came to terms
with the worst possible consequence if things go wrong -
death. No rider was fearless, he said.
''Fear is one of the things that gives you a good adrenaline
hit and that's what we chase. We are adrenaline junkies. If
you're scared and you can overcome fear then you get this
amazing feeling and that's why I do the things I do.''
Nitro Circus Live marketing manager Nathan Brown said 8500
tickets had been sold and he hoped to sell another 2000.

The Guantánamo Public Memory Project Exhibition
Minnesota History Center, 345 W. Kellogg Blvd., St. Paul, MN
Since 2012, students at 11 universities around the country, including the University of Minnesota, asked: what can Guantánamo's (GTMO) history tell us about what's happening now - there, and here at home? They dug through historical and visual archives; talked to people who worked there, lived there, or were detained there; and explored how GTMO relates to issues, people, and places in their own communities. Each student team created a piece of the Project's first traveling exhibit, sharing their discoveries and the difficult questions they struggled with.
The exhibit explores GTMO's history from U.S. occupation in 1898 to today's debates and visions for its future, from a wide variety of perspectives. It includes video testimonies and a "Shape the Debate" text-message voting activity.

Justice: TCU refused to let itself become irrelevant
By RICHARD JUSTICE, HOUSTON CHRONICLE | October 6, 2011 | Updated: October 6, 2011 11:59pm
Photo By Matt Strasen

More Information
For TCU, this wonderful moment comes after 17 years of hard work, smart decisions and doing things right. We salute you, Horned Frogs.
Rather than accept a ticket to obscurity, TCU fought and clawed its way back to respectability with the basics: raising money, building buildings, winning games and graduating athletes.
In the end, it's not that complicated. From the ashes of the breakup of the Southwest Conference, TCU built a program that could serve as a model for every other in the country.
We may never know exactly why TCU was invited to join the Big 12 on Thursday. Until a few days ago, TCU administrators believed it wouldn't happen, that either Texas was against allowing the Horned Frogs into the Big 12 or that Oklahoma was pushing for a program outside Texas or something else.
In this entire realignment saga, motives never have been completely clear. Money has been an obvious issue, but so has ego, pride and jealousy.
All we know for sure is that TCU caught a break. The Horned Frogs had agreed to join the Big East just in time to see it disintegrate. But TCU had long since put itself in position for this invitation.
From a geographic standpoint, replacing Texas A&M with TCU makes sense. It is reasonably close to five other Big 12 schools, and thanks to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, there won't be any changing planes to get to TCU.
Let's pause now for a little history. The Horned Frogs were going to be invited to join the Big 12 in 1994 until Gib Lewis, speaker of the Texas House of Representatives from Fort Worth, chose not to seek re-election as part of a plea bargain that arose out of an ethics scandal.
He was replaced by Pete Laney, who went along with Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock and the Texas Senate in their desire for Baylor and Texas Tech to join Texas and Texas A&M in the Big 12.
At that point, it seemed a safe bet TCU never would be heard from again.
Thanks to Franchione
And the Horned Frogs might have remained irrelevant if athletic director Eric Hyman hadn't done something really smart.
In 1998, he hired a football coach named Dennis Franchione, who changed everything.
In Franchione's first season, TCU won seven games and beat USC in the Sun Bowl.
That Sun Bowl was the Horned Frogs' first bowl victory in 41 years, and Franchione still remembers the way fans approached him with tears in their eyes to thank him.
After that season, Hyman added a $1 million national championship bonus to Franchione's contract. That clause drew some laughs, but it got people's attention that TCU was serious.
From there, things happened quickly. When Franchione left for Alabama after the 2000 season, defensive coordinator Gary Patterson was promoted to head coach.
He took what Franchione had started and made it better. Patterson is a tough, humorless, demanding man, and he built a great program brick by brick.
Perhaps the biggest surprise of all was that Patterson did not use the Horned Frogs as a steppingstone to a better job. Between 2008 and 2010, his teams went 36-3 and played in two consecutive BCS games. His defining moment was last year's Rose Bowl victory over Wisconsin.
Patterson helped raise money, too - more than $140 million if my math is correct. TCU built new offices and a new practice facility, and it is halfway through a $105 million upgrade of Amon Carter Stadium.
Big East had issues
When TCU was invited to join the Big East last winter, it seemed like the fitting final touch to the program.
But then the Big East began to come undone, and for a few weeks, TCU officials had no idea if all their good work would be rewarded.
On Thursday, it was.
One of the things some Big 12 officials had used against TCU was that having the Horned Frogs in the conference didn't extend the league's television market outside Texas.
This is silly talk.
The Horned Frogs have been on television so much - including those BCS bowl appearances against Boise State and Wisconsin in which they donned those unique purple uniforms - that they have made themselves a national presence.
Now the bad news. TCU's ticket to the Big 12 is a bitter pill for SMU and Houston, and indications are that they aren't under consideration for further Big 12 expansion.
Like the Horned Frogs, both schools were dumped in the Southwest Conference breakup, and they have struggled to re-establish themselves as relevant programs.
For Houston, the message is simple: Keep raising money and winning games and working to get that new stadium built. TCU refused to quit working, and neither should UH.
UH can't give up hope
Texas A&M's departure turned out to be a huge break for TCU. There will be more changes in the college landscape in the future, and all UH can do is be prepared, as TCU was when an opportunity presented itself.
There were plenty of days when Horned Frogs fans thought this moment never would come. But they never stopped working, and there's a lesson in there somewhere.


text: This ambitious study offers a radical reassessment of one of the most important concepts of the Romantic period--the imagination. In contrast to traditional accounts, John Whale locates the Romantic imagination within the period's lively and often antagonistic polemics on aesthetics and politics, focusing in particular on British responses to the French Revolution and the ideology of utilitarianism. Through detailed analysis of key texts by Burke, Paine, Wollstonecraft, Bentham, Hazlitt, Cobbett and Coleridge, this book seeks to restore the role of imagination as a more positive force within cultural critique.

Respond to Review of Grand Appetit
by pollyannajane
Review: This was the first restaurant we went to in Pais Oct 2009, it set the bar quite high! The service was friendly and the food realy nice and wholesome. They even had free tea - something we would find out later was a rarity in Paris where tea on average is 5EU! Lovely relaxed atmosphere with a great healthfood next door. Prices we good (for Paris which is horrendiously expensive).

Don't get me wrong, he can write. He's one of the best game writers in the industry. But subjective opinion is subjective opinion. Why he's using EG as a platform for what appears to be a personal crusade on his part is beyond me.
He has no empirical evidence to back up any his arguments in his latest piece. He has no quotes from anyone in the industry, there's no research, no data, just Tom banging a drum. On a site that goes out to, and has the potential to influence, literally millions of people I think he's being irresponsible and reactionary.
You can't be asked to be taken seriously a journalist and then put out impassioned prose that has no balance and no foundation. That's GCSE English.
Edited by morriss at 17:25:06 21-06-2013
|Subjective opinion in an opinion piece. Fuck me.
|Yeah, the entire article is basically supposition. The whole thing can be pretty much reduced down to "I DON'T THINK THAT WILL HAPPEN".
|Nobody has used empirical evidence in any camp, because there isn't any for what Microsoft was proposing.
|I'm PRO-BRAMWELL!
|While I agree with all of Bramwell's suppositions, it is kind of blog stuff.
|True, but you can't really title a piece "analysing the backlash" when there's not really any analysis. But it's also kind of the context of the piece as well, it's basically just reiterating what he's said in the other two (three?) opinion columns, only in a slightly rejigged format. At this point it just seems like preaching to the choir.
|Morriss wouldn't have a single negative word to say if the piece was on how MS's DRM strategy is good for the industry so it is hard to take him seriously.
meme wrote:Innit. It's just poor.
I've felt for a while that EG have been going a bit over the top with a number of articles and the endless doom-mongering, not just with the XB1, but obviously thats been taking the flak lately.
Just a suggestion, but this latest article could have been a roundtable discussion of the pros and cons rather than a one-sided backlash against some 'comments' plucked from the ether.

|To be fair, as well, they've just put up an article that seems to be leaning in favour of always-connected open-world games. Which suffer from the exact same "these won't really be playable in the far future" problem that Tom rallied against in his other articles. Different authors and all that, but they just look odd next to each other.

1. I don't want to be shouting "Xbone on!" in the wee hours of the morning after a skinful. I am considerate of other people in that way.
2. XBone will automatically log you in when it sees you. What if I just nipped into the room to grab a beer from the fridge and get the fuck out?
The Resident Evil films. I'm one of the reasons they keep making them.
I thought the articles by Tom were sort of like playing devils advocate, representing a prevailing point of view among gamers, though not necessarily his own opinion, writing something that is relevant to the audience, a little controversial and umm, yeah the site is not just for presenting news and relaying press releases. Opinionated articles are interesting and stimulate discussion and page views.
