Booksellers See Savior in 'Symbol'
Tuesday's publication of Dan Brown's novel "The Lost Symbol" is the biggest event in the book business since J.K. Rowling's final "Harry Potter" installment went on sale in July 2007.
Yet retailers such as Amazon.com AMZN 0.07 % Inc., Barnes & Noble Inc. BKS 0.97 % and Borders Group Inc. are heavily discounting the book. After a lackluster summer, it is a measure of their plight that they will leave a lot of money on the table in hopes of luring customers with "The Lost Symbol," from Random House's Doubleday imprint. Amazon has cut the 509-page novel's $29.95 price by 46% to $16.17.
"Based on tens of thousands of pre-orders, we expect this to be a monster," says Sessalee Hensley, buyer at Barnes & Noble.
Borders said 188 of its 511 superstores were expected to remain open past midnight on Monday to accommodate Mr. Brown's fans.
Even other publishers are eager for the book to do well. "It can only be good for all of us if more people are in the stores," says Carolyn Reidy, chief executive of CBS Corp.'s Simon & Schuster.
For his part, Mr. Brown says, "My only hope is that people enjoy it."
No novel in recent times has outsold Mr. Brown's last work, "The Da Vinci Code," which has more than 81 million copies in print world-wide. Now the industry needs another big seller. At the end of June, U.S. sales of adult hardcover books were down 18% for the year, while adult paperback sales were down 14%. Bertelsmann AG's Random House, which publishes Mr. Brown in the U.S. and other key English-language markets, recently reported downbeat results for the first six months of its fiscal year.
Author Q&A
Dan Brown discusses "The Lost Symbol," writing and fame in an interview with The Wall Street Journal.
Journal Community
In recent months, many publishers have become concerned that Amazon's policy of pricing the industry's new best-sellers at $9.99 for its Kindle e-book reader will eventually lead to a push for publishers to lower their prices across the board. Some publishing executives thought Random House might respond by holding back the e-book publication of "The Lost Symbol" until later in the publishing cycle, creating a direct challenge to Amazon.
But Mr. Brown, interviewed in midtown Manhattan, said he didn't want his book to be a test case.
"As an author, you want your book to be available in as many formats as possible," Mr. Brown says. "I know that some of my readers have e-book readers, and I wanted my book available for them." He says it was ultimately a group decision.
In the novel, Robert Langdon, the brainy Harvard symbologist first featured in 2000's "Angels & Demons" and then in 2003's "The Da Vinci Code," is lured to Washington. A villain subsequently sends him on a complex search involving secret locations, the Freemasons and ancient rituals.
"Washington has all the intrigue of Rome, Paris or London, but we don't think of it that way," Mr. Brown says. "There are temples, crypts, cathedrals and underground tunnels. I wanted people to see the city differently."
'I don't think about money. I have it, but I'm not drawn to fancy clothes, or yachts, or fancy cars.'
His career has been bolstered by two successful movies. All together, "The Da Vinci Code" (2006) and "Angels & Demons" (2009) have grossed north of $1 billion in ticket sales world-wide. Sony Corp.'s Columbia Pictures, which made both movies, has acquired film rights to Mr. Brown's new book, although a date hasn't yet been set for production.
With fame have come complications. The author, raised an Episcopalian, came under fierce criticism from the Catholic Church following the publication of "The Da Vinci Code."
"Nobody likes to be attacked," he says. "But when you write books whose premise is that the history that we know isn't the full story, those who have embraced that history won't be happy."
Mr. Brown also had to defend himself in 2006 against a plagiarism suit. Although he won, he says the preparation and strain probably cost him six months to a year in terms of work on "The Lost Symbol."
Few have more riding on his new book than Bertelsmann, the closely held German media company. Its Random House division stands to earn $30 million to $35 million, pretax, if the North American print run of five million copies sells out. By comparison, the world-wide Random House publishing group generated operating profit of just $29 million for the first six months of the fiscal year ended June 30.
Heide Lange, Mr. Brown's agent, says the book is being published in 50 foreign languages. She wouldn't disclose the amount of the advance Mr. Brown received.
The novel could do for the nation's capital what Mr. Brown's earlier works have done for cities across Europe, creating interest in familiar architecture and institutions that will be newly scrutinized for their hidden meanings.
Laurence Kirshbaum, a New York literary agent, expects "The Lost Symbol" to sell straight through the Christmas season.
"If this is a good read," he says, "whoa, Nelly."

I Used Charcoal to Whiten My Teeth
By DomesticPirate on December 03, 2013
Featured Member Post
Being a chemical/toxin free house is an ever growing chore ... between foods, beauty products, and cleaning products, practically everything needs a second look to determine if it's safe or not.
Tooth-whitening treatments are no exception.
I tried a commercial at-home tooth-whitening system a while ago, but it literally stripped layers of skin in my mouth away. After rinsing, I could peel a layer of skin off of the inside of my cheeks. Gross, and seriously painful.
I didn't get past two days.
So, when I heard about whitening your teeth, naturally, using non-abrasive activated charcoal, I was both excited and nervous. I didn't want to run the risk of potentially destroying my mouth again.
But I gave it a shot. And I took pictures, just for you! You can thank me later...
Before you make fun of me ... yes, my tooth is chipped and my teeth have shifted after suffering through the relaxing effects of four pregnancies and the loss of my retainer.
The "after" was taken after six days of treatments.
For all the specifics about how this works and why it's safe, check out Mommypotamus's post at The Healthy Home Economist about it.
I did this twice a day for the first two days, brushing regularly and rinsing well after, and then once a day the next four days.
It's not bright and shiny bleached white, which is fine with me. Teeth are naturally ivory in color, anyway!
Captain was totally weirded out by it, but I think it's worth a few strange looks.
Have you tried a natural tooth whitening remedy?

Since humanity emerged from nomadism, the cultivation of food has been a key component of our culture. It's a reflection of wealth, an indication of mechanical prowess, and an instrument of war. And as historian Nick Cullather reminds us, food was also the basis for some of the most charged encounters of the cold war, as played out in the developing political and market systems of Asia. In The Hungry World, he argues that such efforts amounted to a technocratic seduction of the Asian peasantry—a wide-scale effort of social and technological engineering intended to showcase the fruits of the capitalist-democratic model of agricultural development.
The United States at midcentury was in many ways ideally suited to produce the ideology behind agricultural modernization. As Cullather recounts in capacious detail, the

Article: First record of anisakid juveniles (Nematoda) in the European seabass Dicentrarchus labrax (family: Moronidae), and their role as bio-indicators of heavy metal pollution[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This study assessed the anisakid nematode distribution pattern in the fish collected from coasts of Mediterranean Sea, Egypt, during the period September 2010-April 2011. Two hundred thirty out of 300 (76.7%) Dicentrarchus labrax (European seabass) marine fishes belonging to family Moronidae were dissected and found to be infected with larva three nematodes. The larvae had been studied by light and scanning electron microscopy. The present work represents the first record of the presence of the parasite in this fish in the Mediterranean Sea. The concentrations of some heavy metals (Pb, Zn, Fe, Cd, Cu, Mn, Ni) in parasites as well as in tissues of fish were measured. The presented results showed that the nematode parasites are able to accumulate heavy metals in their tissues and in some cases that they are able to accumulate large amounts of heavy metals in a higher amount than host tissues. This demonstrated their sustainability as bioindicators of environmental pollution by removing heavy metals and help in the survival of fish.Parasitology Research 08/2011; 110(3):1131-8.

Article: Developmental stages of Hepatozoon hemprichii sp. nov. infecting the skink Scincus hemprichii and the tick Hyalomma impeltatum from Saudi Arabia.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The life cycle of Hepatozoon hemprichi n. sp. is described; the vertebrate host is Scincus hemprichii and it is vectored by Hyalomma impeltatum. Erythrocytic stages of 18 ± 1.8 × 4 ± 0.8 µm developed in the hemocoel of ticks to sporozoites within 16-18 days. Schizogony occurred in the liver parenchyma and the endothelial cells of blood capillaries in lung and spleen. Mature schizonts measuring 27 ± 3.11 × 20.13 ± 3.0 µm produced 28 merozoites (on average). The merozoites were 13 ± 1.21 × 1.21 ± 0.72 µm with nuclei 5 ± 0.65 × 2.1 ± 0.51 µm. Syzygy and differentiation of gamonts took place in tick's hemocoel up to the third day post-infection (PI). The microgamont (16 ± 0.31 × 18 ± 0.42 µm) produced 4, uniflagellated microgametes at 4-5 days PI. The microgamete measured 15.2 ± 0.31 µm while the flagellum was always at least 26 µm. The macrogamete was very large in size (31 ± 3.11 µm) with a central nucleus. After fertilization, (5-6 days PI) zygotes developed into oocysts (55 ± 3.41 × 52 ± 4.11 µm) in which repeated mitotic divisions with centripetal invaginations occurred; each contained 18 banana-shaped sporozoites, 13.61 ± 0.8 × 1.2 ± 0.31 µm in size. Experimental transmission was successfully carried out by oral administration or by intra-peritoneal inoculation of the infective stages (sporozoites) to uninfected skinks and led to the appearance of blood stages after 5 wk and 4 wk, respectively.Journal of Parasitology 06/2011; 97(5):878-83.

Article: Sarcocystis acanthocolubri sp. n. infecting three lizard species of the genus Acanthodactylus and the problem of host specificity. Light and electron microscopic study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In the present investigation, macroscopic sarcocysts of Sarcocystis acanthocolubri were observed in muscles of 42 (4.3%) out of 975 Acanthodactylus sp. lizards collected from different geographical areas in Egypt. The infection rate was 6.4% in Acanthodactylus boskianus, 2.1% in Acanthodactylus sculentus, and 5% in Acanthodactylus paradalis. The highest infection rate was recorded in the lizards captured from Baltem (10% in A. boskianus and 8% in A. paradalis). The infection rate was usually higher in females (7.4%) than in males (3.8%). Moreover, the highest infection rate was recorded in summer (7.53%), autumn (3.57%), and spring (3.11%), and the lowest was recorded in winter (0.91%). Also, old animals had higher infection rates (10.8%) than young ones (0-2.7%). Macrocysts measured 0.95 × 10.12 mm. Both macroscopic and microscopic sarcocysts were enclosed only by a primary cyst wall, which had many finger-like, stalkless, and non-branched protrusions giving it a striated appearance. The primary cyst wall measured 3.9 μm. A dark granulated ground substance was found directly underneath the protrusions and is extended interiorly dividing the cyst cavity into many compartments containing the parasites (metrocytes and merozoites). Metrocytes were found directly under the ground substance and usually multiply asexually by endodyogeny producing two merozoites from each metrocyte. Both metrocytes and merozoites had the apical complex structures characteristic to the genus Sarcocystis. Transmission experiments with three snake species indicated that the snake Spalerosophis diadema is the proper final host belonging to the family Colubridae. The prepatent period was 16 days, while the patent period was 35 days. The results obtained from the present investigation revealed that this is a new species which was named Sarcocystis acanthocolubri.Parasitology Research 06/2011; 110(1):355-62.

Article: Prevalence pattern and biology of Sarcocystis capracanis infection in the Egyptian goats: A light and ultrastructural study[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cysts of Sarcocystis capracanis obtained from infected goats were examined to clarify the effect of the parasite on the host. Muscle tissues from fresh oesophagus, tongue, diaphragm and skeletal muscles of 680 goats were slaughtered in the main abattoir of Cairo, Egypt and they were examined microscopically for Sarcocystis infection for the first time in Egypt. 540 out of 680 (79.4%) of examined goats were found to be infected with Sarcocystis sp. The infection was recorded firstly by light microscopy as spindle shaped cysts embedded in the muscle tissues. The validity of this species as S. capracanis was confirmed by means of ultrastructural characteristics of the primary cyst wall which revealed the presence of thick-radially striated wall with finger like projections, underlined by a thick layer of ground substance enclosing the developing metrocytes and merozoites that usually contain nearly all the structures of the apical complex and fill the interior cavity of the cyst. The cyst cavity is divided by many septa extending from the ground substance and producing large number of chambers. An experimental infection using the highly infected muscles was carried out to determine the final host, which is dog. Smears of intestinal epithelium were taken to examine the endogenous stages (gamogony and sporogony) by means of light microscopy. These stages were mainly observed as to infect the lamina propria of the posterior third of the small intestine. Gamogony and zygote formation (fertilization) occurred 2-8 days post infection, while sporulation took place within the final host 13-15 days and sporocysts were passed within faeces of the infected puppies at that time. The prepatent period of S. capracanis was 12-15 days, while the patent period was extended to 37 days. In goats, infection with S. capracanis led to the loss of weight, anaemia, abortion and even death in cases of heavy infection. While bleeding, watery faeces filled with mucous on 5th and 8th day p.i. as well as intestinal lesions are the pathogenic effects occurred in puppies after experimental infection.Veterinary Parasitology 05/2011; 181(2-4):75-82.

Article: Studies on monieziasis of sheep I. Prevalence and antihelminthic effects of some plant extracts, a light and electron microscopic study.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Out of 2,343 examined sheep throughout the whole year, 271 were found to be infected with tapeworms (11.5%). The highest infection rate (22.1%) was recorded in autumn, while the lowest (6%) occurred in summer. Six species of cestodes were identified according to their prevalence: Moniezia expansa (74%), Moniezia denticulata (8.5%), Moniezia benedeni (4.8%), Moniezia trigonophora (2.7%), and Thysaniezia giardi (2.7%), T. giardi was recorded in Egypt for the first time. M. expansa was found throughout the year with two peaks in January (92.3%) and June (88.5%). SEM examination revealed that M. expansa scolex has four triangular suckers guarded by an X-shaped fibrous band that makes them open permanently. Also, there is a Y-shaped apical part at the scolex center which may be an embryonically non-developed rostellum. The whole worm body surface is covered with unidirectional microtriches. TEM showed that the tegument is underlaid by a thick fibrous interstitial layer below which an outer circular and an inner longitudinal muscular layer are arranged. Beneath these structures the subtegumental cells are found which have spherical electron-dense inclusions and various other cell organelles. Moreover, M. expansa has interproglottidal glands which contain secretory vesicles and secretions. For biological control of this parasite, different concentrations of crude plant extract of Artemisia cina were used in vitro and in vivo. In vitro, the results indicated that the plant extract is efficacious at all concentrations tested. Electron microscopic examination showed that many structures of the treated worms were affected. The most affected sites were the scolex and the microtriches of the outer tegumental surface. In vivo, treatment of heavily infected animals showed an antihelminthic effect, since the complete absence of eggs was recorded 9 days after treatment when fecal investigations were done.Parasitology Research 01/2011; 108(1):177-86.

Article: First record of Benedenia sciaenae (Monogenea: Capsalidae) infecting the brown-spotted grouper fish Epinephelus chlorostigma (Family: Serranidae) from the Red Sea in Egypt[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Benedenia (Capsalidae) is a genus of important oral and cutaneous fluke parasite of aquarium, cultured and marine fish. In the present study, the morphological and morphometric characterization of Benedenia sciaenae, a monogenean parasite infecting the gills of the brown-spotted grouper fish Epinephelus chlorostigma were described by means of light microscopy as a first description from Epinephelus chlorostigma. 215 out of 290 (74.1%) fish samples were found to be infected with this ectoparasitic capsalid causing pathogenic and epizootic events. The adult worm is flattened, elongated with an anterior adhesive organ enclosing two anterolateral adhesive structures, each one possesses three lobes which aids for adhesive secretions while the enlarged posterior end enclosing haptor. The adult worm measured about 0.52 -0.67 (mean 0.59 ±0.03) mm in total length and 0.33 – 0.49 (mean 0.38 ±0.02) mm in width. Haptor width measured 0.25-0.29 (mean 0.26 ± 0.02) mm; its hard parts consist of two pairs of hamuli and the accessory sclerites. The anterior hamulus measured 0.027-0.034 (mean 0.31±0.002) mm long while the posterior one measured 0.030-0.040 (mean 0.036±0.002) mm and each of the accessory pieces measured 0.032-0.044 (mean 0.040±0.002) mm long. Results showed that the general morphology of the present Benedenia sp. resembles that of B. sciaenae described previously in Turkeys from Argyrosomus regius fish host with the dimensions of body more or less similar. Also, there were significant correlations (P≤0.05) between fish length, weight and parasite abundance per fish. Number of monogeneans was increased with host size and age to fish of intermediate length and weight, and then it decreased probably because changes in size of gill filaments affect their attachment capability, enhancing the possibility of being detached by respiratory currents.

text: Hey, all you hotshots who love to spoof your WiFi MAC address just to drive your network admins up the wall -- your days are numbered. (Quick refresher: a MAC address is a unique digital string of numbers and letters attached to every network device, and it never changes when you change networks, unlike an IP address. It's often used for extra security in networks to only allow certain Ethernet/WiFi cards -- but this signature can be pretty easily faked.) And if you're already drafting ways to defat this technique, you may want to consult with Dr. Jeyanthi Hall, of Carelton University in Ottawa, who discovered that every wireless device produced has a unique signal fingerprint determined at the time of production. She analyzed radio signals from 15 devices between six different manufacturers and was able to correctly identify 95 percent of the "transceiverprints," with zero false positives. Maybe Dr. Hall should collaborate with that leather hat hacker guy who built the ultimate WiFi hacking box -- then they'd really have a product the US Government would be interested in.[Via Slashdot]

The Cleveland State Vikings defeated Eastern Illinois 82-68 on January 28th, and it marked the 150th victory for head coach Gary Waters, making him the winningest coach in CSU/Fenn College history.
Waters, 62, is in the midst of his eighth season with the Forest Green and White. All he has done is take the Vikings to four 20-win seasons, a Horizon League Tournament Championship and four post-season berths including the 2009 NCAA Tournament, the first for the school since 1986, where they defeated Wake Forest in the first round before losing to Arizona.
In a recent interview when asked about his goals for CSU, Waters said, "We have been consistent in what we have tried to do to bring forth a winning program that can sustain itself. I wanted (the team) to be competitive and be one of the top teams in the Horizon League. We wanted to go to the NCAA Tournament. We have done that and still want to go back there again."
A long time assistant coach, first at Division II Ferris State and later at Eastern Michigan, Waters got his first head coaching job at Kent State in 1996-97 where he took the Golden Flashes from 9-18 in his first season to two Mid-American Conference tournament titles and a pair of NCAA Tournaments (the first in school history), which included a first-round win over Indiana in 2001. At the end of that season, he moved on to Rutgers, where he had just three winning seasons and an NIT finals appearance to show. He could not take the Scarlet Knights to the upper half of the highly competitive Big East Conference and into the field of 64.
In February 2006, he was at KSU being inducted into the school's Hall of Fame, but his flight back to New Jersey was delayed and could not get back to the Rutgers' home game against Marquette. That incident gave the powers a reason to end Waters' tenure, which they did at the end of the season.
At the same time, Cleveland State Basketball was going through some tough times. From 2003-06 under head coach Mike Garland, the Vikes were 27-60. They gained some relevance when they hired Rollie Massimino in 1996, but could manage only two winning seasons in seven campaigns.
In the spring of 2006, CSU hired Michael Schwartz as President of the school. Schwartz was the head man at Kent State and gave the blessing to hire Waters. In the summer, some deals were made to buy Garland out of the remaining years of his contract which allowed Waters to come in as the 14th head coach in school history.
From that point on the rest, as they say, is history.
Waters has brought discipline, accountability and self-respect to a team that was lacking those qualities for years. His first season (2006-07) he went 10-21. However, you could see the building blocks starting to be assembled.
With players like J'Nathan Bullock, Cedric Jackson, Chris Moore, D'Aundray Brown, Norris Cole, Chris Moore, Trey Harmon, Anton Grady, Bryn Forbes, Trey Lewis and Jon Harris, CSU has been a consistent winner both on the court and in the classroom.
Like any coach, Waters does have detractors, both with fans and the media, as they see 'mid-major' programs like Gonzaga and Butler becoming national powers. Some say, why not CSU, with a facility like the Wolstein Center and new buildings, including dormitories on campus. Many believe they should be right there as well.
Waters does believe he can get the Vikes to The Final Four before his career is over. He said, "If it can happen at those schools it can happen here."
Before the start of the 2012-13 season, Waters signed a contract extension that will keep his as head man through the 2019 season. He is planning to spend more times with his wife of 38 years, Bernadette, as they have plans to attend the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil as well as the major tennis tournaments.
After going 12-18 last season, the Vikings are back challenging for the Horizon League crown, and a large part of that success is because of Gary Waters, who can officially be labeled a "winner" in the eyes of all CSU fans.

Though never quick-witted, Agatha Dawson had an iron constitution and a will to fight that never abated in her old age. Even after three operations failed to rid her of her cancer, she refused to give in. But as her body began to weaken, she accused lawyers, nurses, and doctors of trying to kill her and snatch her fortune. The town physician, an expert in cancer, gives her six months to live. Three days later, she is dead.
Though the autopsy reveals nothing surprising, the doctor suspects that Agatha's niece had some hand in the old woman's death. When Lord Peter Wimsey, the dashing gentleman detective, looks into the matter, he finds that death stalks all those who might testify. How can he continue his investigation when every question marks another innocent for murder?

But that doesn't mean she's going to sit idly by, especially when her husband, Sergeant Jim Chee, is in charge of finding the shooter. Bernie and Chee discover that a cold case involving his former boss and partner, retired Inspector Joe Leaphorn, may hold the key. Digging into the old investigation, husband and wife find themselves inching closer to the truth...and closer to a killer determined to prevent justice from taking its course.
Little Failure is the all too true story of an immigrant family betting its future on America, as told by a lifelong misfit who finally finds a place for himself in the world through books and words. In 1979, a little boy dragging a ginormous fur hat and an overcoat made from the skin of some Soviet woodland creature steps off the plane at New York's JFK International Airport and into his new American life. His troubles are just beginning. For the former Igor Shteyngart, coming to the United States from the Soviet Union is like stumbling off a monochromatic cliff and landing in a pool of Technicolor.
In this deeply satisfying sleight-of-hand, a magician in turn-of-the-century Vienna schemes to save an old flame from her all-powerful fiance.
She thinks more highly of snow and ice than she does of love. She lives in a world of numbers, science and memories--a dark, exotic stranger in a strange land. And now Smilla Jaspersen is convinced she has uncovered a shattering crime. It happened in the Copenhagen snow. A six-year-old boy, a Greenlander like Smilla, fell to his death from the top of his apartment building. While the boy's body is still warm, the police pronounce his death an accident. But Smilla knows her young neighbor didn't fall from the roof on his own. Soon she is following a path of clues as clear to her as footsteps in the snow. For her dead neighbor, and for herself, she must embark on a harrowing journey of lies, revelation and violence that will take her back to the world of ice and snow from which she comes, where an explosive secret waits beneath the ice.
In this, the second book in Robert van Gulik's classic mystery series of ancient China, Judge Dee must look into the murder of his predecessor. His job is complicated by the simultaneous disappearance of his chief clerk and the new bride of a wealthy local shipowner. Meanwhile, a tiger is terrorizing the district, the ghost of the murdered magistrate stalks the tribunal, a prostitute has a secret message for Dee, and the body of a murdered monk is discovered to be in the wrong grave. In the end, the judge, with his deft powers of deduction, uncovers the one cause for all of these seemingly unrelated events.
From the prizewinning author of Mr. Fox, the Snow White fairy tale brilliantly recast as a story of family secrets, race, beauty, and vanity. In the winter of 1953, Boy Novak arrives by chance in a small town in Massachusetts, looking, she believes, for beauty - the opposite of the life she's left behind in New York. She marries a local widower and becomes stepmother to his winsome daughter, Snow Whitman. A wicked stepmother is a creature Boy never imagined she'd become, but elements of the familiar tale of aesthetic obsession begin to play themselves out when the birth of Boy's daughter, Bird, who is dark-skinned, exposes the Whitmans as light-skinned African Americans passing for white. Among them, Boy, Snow, and Bird confront the tyranny of the mirror to ask how much power surfaces really hold. Dazzlingly inventive and powerfully moving, Boy, Snow, Bird is an astonishing and enchanting novel.
Henry Fleming, a private in the Union Army, runs away from the field of war. Afterwards, the shame he feels at this act of cowardice ignites his desire to receive an injury in combat — a "red badge of courage" — that will redeem him. Stephen Crane's novel about a young soldier's experiences during the American Civil War is well known for its understated naturalism and its realistic depiction of battle.

Here's hoping you had some fun with the craziness of April Fool's Day around the web. It's one of my favorite occasions each year, because it's one of the few times you'll see game developers ease off and have fun with the culture surrounding their games. That's especially important nowadays - since while the games industry is considered by some to be recession-proof, the economic downturn has created something of a disconnect between top-tier games and fun in favor of a better bottom line. Seemingly little consideration given to what makes a game profitable at its core. Mass appeal and the well-trodden path is the order of the day, and (though this is about the only time you'll hear this in Loading...) thank goodness for asset-light gaming - casual, mobile, and Facebook games.
Judging from your reaction to Shayalyn's 800 lb. Gorilla article, you've noticed this disconnect too. Either simple, pure fun has been taken for granted in games, or else we've lost touch with what makes a game worth playing in the first place. My fear is that it's starting to become systemic, even creeping into the events we attend.
Last weekend we were among the 60,000 that attended PAX East 2010, which was a lot of gaming purist fun. Just about any media or PR type will tell you they prefer consumer shows to trade shows. Both are a lot of work, but there's an aura of shared excitement that you just don't get at something like GDC (unless you happened to be in the panel where Google is handing out free Droids). But being in its first year, PAX East didn't draw quite the game developer presence. Several developers we cover closely pulled out as the event approached.
That's really a shame, because at PAX East it certainly seemed like everyone soaked up everything twice over. Attendees lined up hours in advance for an Nvidia presentation where cards everyone had known about for weeks were "unveiled." At that presentation, reps from DICE and EA introduced the 3D capabilities of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Metro 2033 to a 3D- bespectacled crowd, but no one from the big B could be found to do the same for WoW. And of the five developers we met with, only two had a floor presence, but these two commanded a large chunk of the expo floor and probably got more than their money's worth in terms of raw exposure.
Granted it takes a lot for a west coast or European developer to make the trip to the east coast - one could buy a very nice car for the freight costs of shipping the booth alone. But, as in the music business, you have to take your act on the road to grow your audience, and that's at least as true in the Internet age as it was 20 years ago. We'll pack up, fly 5-8 hours, and blow our entire paycheck on an overpriced hotel to be within three postal codes of West Coast or European event venues, but devs won't make the trip to come see us in the midwest (GenCon), south (DragonCon) or the east coast (PAX East, NY Comic Con), for shame. A sold-out PAX East proved that we're here, ready, and willing to revel in your marketing efforts. Where were you, majority of MMORPG developers?
Rant over, have a wonderful Easter weekend, and feel free to stop by the Loading... forum to sound off.

FUSD Board of Education / Trustees
Dear CCR Parents,
As you know, we presented the CCR K-8 STEM ACADEMY Proposal to the FUSD District Administration and Board of Education last week. The plan included CCR K-8 becoming a "Signature School" in FUSD with a focus on S.T.E.M. Education. I am happy to announce to our students and parents that our proposal was unanimously approved by the Superintendent and Board Members on May 13th.
In review, STEM is the integration of core content areas with SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, and MATH. Our vision for the CCR STEM ACADEMY will be an integration of STEM throughout our school where all students will participate in applying science, technology, engineering, and math principles to create connections between school, community, work and the global economy. On July 9th and 10th, the CCR Staff will begin STEM training through STEMFINITY and receive STEM Certification and STEM Building Accreditation.
As we begin this exciting transition, we know that you are going to have lots of questions. It is important for you to know that we want to have open communication with you every step of the way. Through our STEM ACADEMY PROPOSAL, we were able to hire a new Master Teacher/STEM Instructional Leader who will aide us in helping parents understand what STEM Integration is. Our new master teacher will also organize parent/community events that will showcase what students are learning and incorporate activities that parents can do with their children so that you may experience STEM Education.
Becoming an F.U.S.D. Signature School will take lots of preparation, dedication, hard work and partnerships. The complete transition for CCR K-8 School to become an effective, high achieving STEM ACADEMY will be a 3-Year Implementation Plan, each year building more parent, community and local business support to enhance our STEM curriculum. Please know that we will continue to ask for your input on school wide decisions regarding growth and change. Furthermore, we have every intention of continuing to grow student leaders at CCR and get students involved with the decision making regarding the components of our 3-Year Implementation Plan. Students and parents are encouraged to get involved and become an active part of STEM implementation.
We know that some of you may be concerned about major changes that will take place involving student uniforms and extra-curricular activities for students. Please let me put your mind at ease and explain:
Thank you for your continued support of our school and district. We are working hard to provide children in the San Tan Valley area with a high-achieving, A-Rated, STEM ACADEMY SCHOOL. We look forward to you being a part of this exciting venture! CCR STEM ACADEMY 3-YEAR IMPLEMENTATAION PLAN.pdf
Rebecca HendryPrincipal
Circle Cross had all grades participate in Jump Rope for Heart and we had close to a hundred students that brought in pledges. The Jump Rope for Heart program is in its seventh year, raising close to $8,000 in that time. Heart disease is the number one killer of humans and with proper exercise and nutrition we can cut that percentage down. The funds raised go to the American Heart Association for research and education. Tara Dickerson and Jim Segar were happy to have so many students for our culmination day last Friday. The day was held in the gym with eleven different stations that all classes K-5 participated in, this was run with the help of our older students as mentors. A fabulous day had by all!

The Persistence of the Color Line: Racial Politics and the Obama Presidency
A post-racial America? Not yet, says Harvard Law professor Randall Kennedy.
In 2007 and 2008, most Americans probably learned about the presidential campaign through the media. A little TV, some Internet, maybe newspapers and magazines. There was certainly plenty of coverage – not to mention plenty to say. As readers remember, the candidacies of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama provoked a nationwide conversation about gender and race.
But a very, very small segment of the population was at Harvard Law School during 2007 and 2008, taking Randall Kennedy's class on the campaign. Kennedy is not only a legal scholar but the author of several books on race and racism, including "Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word," and "Race, Crime, and the Law." As such, Kennedy's students had the additional benefit of their professor's scholarly and historical perspective – and now you can, too.
In The Persistence of the Color Line: Racial Politics and the Obama Presidency, Kennedy helpfully compiles and interprets the public conversation around Obama's 2008 election and his nomination of Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court. He references New York Times' op-eds, blog posts, blog comments, song lyrics, Congressional outbursts, court cases, radio talk show hosts, poems, political ads, Gallup polls, sermons, books, articles, speeches, off-the-record remarks, and lots and lots of history. (Indeed, on some pages the footnotes are almost as long as the text.) Kennedy uses these cultural artifacts to consider whether President Obama's election means that the United States is post-racial.
Kennedy's answer – which he articulates in the first sentence of the book – is no. Kennedy writes, "The terms under which Barack Obama won the presidency, the conditions under which he governs, and the circumstances under which he seeks reelection all display the haunting persistence of the color line." Guided by this thesis, subsequent chapters consider how race (and sometimes gender) factored into blacks' response to Obama, whites' response to Obama, and the president's own rhetoric.
Regarding the black community, Kennedy posits that Obama walked "the tightrope between being black enough but not too black." He cites comments in The New Republic, AfroChat.net, and New York magazine that indicate Obama's dark-skinned, African-American wife won him particular goodwill among many in the black community. For these contributors, the president's mate was a sign of his commitment to his black identity. On the other hand, Kennedy suggests that Obama's elusive stance on affirmative action made many blacks suspect the president's commitment to racial fairness.
Nevertheless, Kennedy recognizes Obama's overwhelming popularity among most African Americans. He credits their enthusiasm to "the magnetism of success," as well as to neediness: "Blacks are so used to being neglected, if not mistreated, that they often tend to exaggerate the virtues of authorities that treat them with even a modicum of respect."
Kennedy's assessment of the white community's response is also skeptical. Kennedy surmises from an anecdote Obama tells in his own book, "The Audacity of Hope," that the president took care to make whites feel less white. Kennedy also points out that in Obama's well-known race speech the president uses the passive voice – simultaneously acknowledging slavery and Jim Crow while obscuring enslavers and Jim Crowers. As a result of Obama's careful expression,
Kennedy hypothesizes that many whites were grateful, or at least confident that Obama did not resent them. Ultimately Kennedy suggests that Obama did not so much overcome whites' racial resistance as neutralize it.
In his final chapter, Kennedy offers several conclusions: that race still matters, but it is sometimes an asset; that black candidates, voters, and officials are likely to remain a force, especially in the Democratic party; and that, at the very least, Obama's presidency has effectively demonstrated that a person of color can responsively govern.
These conclusions are not earth-shattering, but they are useful points of reflection. The same might be said for "Persistence" as a whole. By adapting his lectures and harnessing some of the national chatter, Kennedy has created a valuable historical document – both for those of us who lived through the 2008 election and would welcome a more academic perspective on it, and for those who one day will look back on that time and wonder what people were talking about.
