Watch the Video for Active Child and How to Dress Well's "Playing House"
By Carrie Battan on September 13, 2011 at 1:12 p.m. EDT
When sultry bedroom-pop acts Active Child and How to Dress Well paired up this summer for the track "Playing House", it seemed like a pretty natural fit. Here's the video for the track, directed by Isaac Ravishankara. Sadly, it does not feature "some sort of House Party / Kid 'N Play vibe to it," as Active Child's Pat Grossi once hinted.

Bazemore violated the shower code, which is that if all the showers are occupied when a veteran enters, he must give his up regardless of where he is in his hygiene routine. (Apparently Stephen Curry entered and Bazemore said something to the effect of, "Just give me a minute.") Ezeli's indiscretion was helping himself to a plate of food on the team plane ahead of the veterans. "We didn't do it just because they were rookies," Lee said. "There was cause and effect."
Bullying Rumors
In my column about bullying in the NBA, I noted that the Warriors filled then-rookie Kent Bazemore's Audi with popcorn and removed the tires from fellow rookie Festus Ezeli's car and placed them in his locker. Veteran forward David Lee clarified that both pranks were motivated by the rookies not following team rules.
Now, that doesn't mean the age-old methods of indoctrination never existed in the NBA. Shane Battier won't name the team or the teammates, but he remembers being mocked for his intellect. "I joined a conversation, and one of the guys tried to be funny and…(tried) to speak to me in perfect Queen's English," he wrote in an email. "Patronizing me, like I didn't know 'hood speak.' I found that if you can play and help the team, most are willing to look past minor foibles, like being intelligent. You know, for the team."
How many NFL players, do you imagine, have had a rock star from another part of the world in their midst or been immersed in another culture that way? Olden Polynice is remembered now as a physical—bordering on dirty—NBA player whose 17-year career ended in 2001 (played two games with the Clippers in 2003-04), but he didn't start that way. No-holds barred rebounding drills and the desire to keep his job led him to it. But the way NBA players went at each other in his day in no way compares to what he's heard about the NFL. "Talking to my friends in the NFL, if we saw what went on in their practices and locker rooms, we'd be appalled," he says.
O'Neal and several other veterans said such baptisms of fire don't exist today, or at least they're not nearly as fiery. There are pranks, such as when the Warriors filled Kent Bazemore's Nissan with popcorn. Kicking balls into the stands to be retrieved after a game-day shootaround, wearing a Dora The Explorer backpack, delivering pre-practice doughnuts and singing their school song are all standard practices. But that's about it. "It's gotten a lot different," O'Neal said. "You hear stories, like about guys having the wheels taken off of their car and put in their locker, but I don't think anyone takes that kind of stuff as personal."
If there's a difference between the Dolphins' Martin and O'Neal, it's that the older Blazers also took care of O'Neal in their way. He turned 18 that first season but still wasn't old enough to get into a lot of clubs or bars, so Trent would hang with him at the hotel and play video games. When they sent him for food, they'd pay for his meal along with the gas money. They knew he was making considerably less than most of them, and they bought him suits and occasionally gave him their per diem allotment on the road. He figures his teammates ultimately spent more on him than the bill for repairing his hotel room. "I have a lot more good stories than bad ones," he says.
Also prohibited, sources said, is requiring an individual to unreasonably pay for meals, travel, entertainment expenses, goods or services that are being solely enjoyed by others as well as imposing physical activities on a fellow player — such as exposure to weather, confinement in a restricted area, or consumption of food, liquid or substance — that leads to unreasonable risk for the individual or adversely affects their mental or physical health or safety

What's so good?
By Elizabeth Walker | Nov 28, 2012 | Total plays: 9,821
The deep house track features some sweet vocals and a dense bass line, giving way to a seemingly endless crying purgatory of "I forgive you" to finish. Definitely, it's most interesting that Tichauer calls Sydney home, because upon a blind listen the island down under is not a go-to choice.
The first single from Tichauer since his earlier 2012 Devotion album (listen here), it's not clear if this track is a one-off or a hint at another release in the future; I'm certainly hoping for the latter.
For more from Tichauer, check out his SoundCloud here.

I'm always looking for ways change aspects of the game to make it more enjoyable.
If your going to leave a low review at least make it not just vitriol and help me improve it for everyone.
Do you know why poker is so popular? It's because any number of people can play and there is an element risk involved. However, since playing poker or gambling of any fashion in a university environment is frowned upon, some other similar game that could accommodate 3 - 10 hard-studying students was sought after. That alternative game was never found but in the mid 1970's one was born and it's name is Doughnut.
Just like Seinfeld was a show about nothing, Doughnut is a card game that has nothing to do with doughnuts.
If you understand the basic trump and trick style of card game you are 90% of the way to being a Doughnut pro.
The object of the game is to win tricks and reduce your score to zero. To win tricks you must, just like in poker, play in the hand. You win a trick you get a point off of your score, win two tricks get two points off, ....
However, if you fail to take a trick your score is increased by 5 points. Back in the days of old, a circle or Doughnut would be placed around your new total to highlight your failure. This is now performed by food images.

From the Publisher:
Confessions of Dan Yack continues the adventures of the eccentric English millionaire Dan Yack. Yack is Blaise Cendrars' alter ego, and the Confessions represent the distilled riches of the author's picaresque life, spoken into a Dictaphone and divided into nine 'cylinders' which constitute the book's chapters.|He tells the story of his tender love for the young Mireille (daughter of one of his many mistresses) whom he meets in a crowded tabac in a Paris gone mad on Armistice Night, 1918. This love transforms Dan Yack's life: he abandons his women, gives up his fast cars and debauchery to marry this convent-educated girl of his dreams. To indulge Mireille's fantasies he launches her as a film star by creating films for her and casting her in wraith-like roles inspired by Edgar Allen Poe. But before long Mireille is struck by a mysterious and fatal illness, the psychological origins of which raise some disturbing questions about the nature of their relationship.
Author Bio
Blaise Cendrars was born Frederic Louis Sauser. He changed his name in 1911 to a coinage that suggests "blaze + ashes + art." As Cendrars put it, "To write is to burn alive." Cendrars became an important figure in the Parisian avant-garde before World War I upon publication of his poetry collection, "Easter in New York". He served in the French Foreign Legion, was wounded in 1915, and had his right arm amputated. His fiction was often nihilistic and anarchic. Cendrars was a war correspondent in World War II (in which his younger son died). His postwar fiction tended to be contemplative and mystical, as well as overtly autobiographical.

Thunderbird 18.104.22.168 Cures Vulnerabilities
Following security fixes for Firefox, Camino & Co, the developers of the Thunderbird email client have now taken steps to remove known vulnerabilities, closing down five security holes, one of which was and classified as critical.
The update to Thunderbird version 18.104.22.168 removes the danger of buffer overflows caused by email attachments with MIME (Multipurpose Internet Message Extensions) encoding (MFSA 2008-12, original advisory by iDefense). The memory space allocated for this by Thunderbird was too small and the program was thus prone to buffer overflows. The potential attacker could exploit the vulnerability to execute arbitrary code.
One of the bugs already removed in the Firefox Web browser is described in MFSA 2008-01. It affected the browser engine and was capable of crashing the browser allowing an attacker to inject malicious code. Other advisories, MFSA 2008-07, MFSA 2008-05 and MFSA 2008-03, describe the other vulnerability that were removed.
Users of the email client are advised to update to the current version as soon as possible. The package can be downloaded from the project's servers with packages expected from various distributors in the next few days.

I just want you to know that there were some posts that were deleted because of flaming of either other members or characters. If you haven't read the rules, this is not allowed.
One of those troublemakers, who shall remain nameless because he seriously became deep in the proverbial fertilizer because he used a flaming to threaten someone famous, has since been banned from TV.com at the recommendation of the mods and the editors for that reason. In turn, his real name and address had been turned by CNET Networks, the owners of TV.com, to the proper authorities to be dealt with. That post was deleted by me but not before the mods took a copy of it and turned it over to the authorities.
The only thing I can say about all of this is "Think before you post." I know that we all make really dumb posts, but the example made by that troublemaker is the wrong one.

Product description
This publication aims to be a user-friendly resource for supervisors to develop their practice grounded in current theory and evidence. The publication extends beyond past notions of student supervision to include supervision of professionals in their work place and the emergent importance of professional mentoring for ongoing professional development. The publication is written from the perspective of a broad range of health science practitioners, including audiology, dietetics, nursing, occupational therapy, pharmacy, physiotherapy, podiatry, prosthetics and orthotics, radiography, and speech-language pathology. Acknowledging that health science professionals work in busy and often stressful environments, there is a deliberate intention to present complex theoretical material in a simple and person-centred format. Such a presentation aims to assist the reader to more easily integrate the material into their practice. The user-friendly style as previously utilized in Best and Rose (1996) continues to receive extremely positive feedback from readers and course developers.

Very professional staff. I had an issue the first month with my auto pay and I REALLY appreciated the call about my debit card as my wife and I were traveling out of the country. your staff took the time to contact me so that I could avoid the late fee. That was true customer service.Andrew from Keller, TX
Outstanding Customer Service and very helpful. Showed the unit and explained the process from A to Z.Bobby from Dallas, TX
I got there right when you were closing and still waited and helped me out with no problems and was very nice and respectful. We had just moved from units that had flooded and ruined a lot of belongings so it was a relief getting the great service and a clean good unit! ThanksMicheal from Dallas, TX
Donna was a great help and went out of her way to ensure I was accommodated.from Dallas, TX
Karen was awesome! We came by a few weeks ago and were on a waiting list for a specific unit size and she called and when we went up, she was exactly the same - efficient, cheerful, knowledgeable and helpful - as she had been on our first visit. We are very comfortable with Uncle Bob's because of Karen's attention to detail and very positive, customer-oriented attitude!Kathleen from Colleyville, TX
Mike and staff have always been nice and helpful! I would definitely recommend this store to anyone!Marla from Arlington, TX
We left because we no longer had the need for either of our storage units but if the need arises, we will be back. Uncle Bob's and the associates are top notch.Lee from Arlington, TX
I was genuinely impressed with the cleanliness of the facility as well as the friendly service. Every question was answered, everything was done within minutes, and I felt very welcomed. We had visited 3 other storage facilities prior to coming here and they did not even come close to how well we were treated at Uncle Bob's. The male associate that assisted us was excellent, very kind and knowledgeable and efficient.Laura from Watauga, TX
The location is convenient, the manager was knowledgeable and respectful, the price is very affordable and the property is super clean.Patricia from DeSoto, TX

When the restoration was completed people were able to walk in it and experience what it must have been like to live in such badly-made barracks.

While you're waiting, track your application
By Jessica Daniels On January 12, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
Well, here we are, on the other side of the general application deadline. Processing of the applications we received over the weekend has already begun, and will keep us busy for the next two weeks or so. In some cases, almost no work is needed — everything was submitted online and we simply need to confirm it's all there. In other cases, we need to scan a transcript or recommendation and make sure the scan is added to an applicant's credentials. And then there are applications that are missing a couple of pieces, and we need to notify the applicant. Whether your application needs effort or not, everyone is in one big line and your patience will be appreciated.
To that end, let me share Christine's FAQs to guide you on tracking your application. Note, especially, the instructions on how to access your Application Status page.
Frequently Asked Questions: Application Edition
I Submitted My Application! Now What?
Your Application Status page will display information about your status.
To access your Application Status Page you can either click the "Start an Application" link on the Admissions website or save the application link. You will login with the email and password you used when you created your application.
How Do I Know If My Application is Incomplete or Complete?
Even after you have submitted all the required materials, your application is not complete until a staff member has reviewed each document to check that it is correct and legible. Your Application Status page displays the most up-to-date information on your application. Please allow us up to 10 days after we receive your materials to update your status.
Your application will be marked as incomplete if we find that items are missing, your transcripts are difficult to read or not translated into English, or your application fee has not been received (with the exception of fee waivers). If we are missing materials or cannot read application documents, we will contact you.
Fletcher Admissions will send you a confirmation email when all of your application materials have been compiled and your application is ready to be reviewed by the Admissions Committee. Once your application is complete, no further action is required.
Please Note: the order in which your application is processed has no bearing on your admissions decision.
When Will I Receive My Decision?
Admissions decisions will be released before April 1. We will send a message to the email address you used on your application with information regarding your decision.
If you have further questions, please email us or call us at 1-617-627-3040.
Use the same email address from your application on all email messages. Due to the high volume of communications we receive, it can take several days for us to reply to you. We appreciate your patience!
Well, only about 36 hours remain before the application deadline. A nice little batch of applications came in early, meaning (perhaps) that someone responded to my plea to submit early. On the other hand (sigh), hundreds remain unsubmitted, so on balance, I've been ignored. That's o.k., I can take it.
Student readers on the Admissions Committee have been keeping our process ticking along, taking time during their winter break to read applications — a huge benefit of our new online application reader. (Going paperless also earned the Admissions Office "Silver Level" recognition from the University Office of Sustainability's Green Office Certification Program. Hooray for us!)
When we return to work on Monday, the team — including our returning student interns — will focus on processing applications and will kick off the heart of the application review period. There will be a bit of a frenzy for a couple of weeks, but this is the time of year that many of us like best. We look forward to "meeting" you through your applications, and to working with you throughout the spring.
Today: the Admissions staff thinks ahead
By Jessica Daniels On January 8, 2015 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
Thanks to a little advance planning, I was able to keep the blog running from December 22 to January 2, while I was sitting in my mother-in-law's North London living room. We spent two weeks away, mostly visiting with my husband Paul's family. We also made a side trip to Copenhagen, where I had never visited before. That was fun! Also fun — seeing my daughter, Kayla, who is spending the year studying in London. She even proved that she's been learning something, as she was the only one with the correct answers to the British politics questions on the traditional family holiday quiz. Go Kayla!
(As a side note, I'll mention that Kayla saw someone in a Fletcher Fútbol sweatshirt running down a street near her London flat. She didn't think quickly enough that day, but next time she'll chase the runner to ask who it is. Fletcher is everywhere!)
Until today, my week has mostly been tied up with catching up after time away, and preparing for the months to come. To that end, the Admissions staff will be gathering this morning for a half-day retreat to talk about all those things that will keep us busy between now and May, when the work flow will finally slow. It's always a useful exercise to take a few hours to talk about the big picture. We tend to get wrapped up in the fine details of our work while reviewing applications and doing the rest of what needs to be done from January to March.
We'll be back in the office this afternoon, ready to take whatever questions may come in, now that we're down to the wire before the application deadline.
Coffee hours!

No matter how much time the Admissions staff spends on the road, there are always a zillion locations that we don't reach each year. To plug some of those gaps, our best ambassadors — our students — have volunteered to meet you over coffee. You can find the list of sites on our website. (Sites and details still being added.) Sign up, and take advantage of the chance to chat with a student in a casual setting over your preferred hot beverage.

Post-decision news for EN applicants
By Jessica Daniels On December 19, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In Admissions Tips, General Admissions News
All Early Notification applicants should know by now that decisions were released earlier this week. To those who were admitted, congratulations! I hope you'll enjoy the extra time to plan for your graduate studies. You will be hearing from members of the Admissions staff to whom you can send your questions. We're really happy to start growing the September 2015 entering class! All that said, this post is not so much for you.
Next, let me say that I'm sorry to bid farewell to a group of applicants who were denied admission. We always regret making these difficult decisions, but we hope it will help the applicants make their choices on where else they should apply.
This post is really for those applicants whose applications were deferred for review in the spring, a good news/bad news situation. The bad news is the lack of happy admissions news, but the good news is that you still have the opportunity to try to bring about happy news in March. Our Admissions Committee will gladly review an update to your application! But what makes a useful addition? Here's a list of updates that we particularly value:
- An updated transcript that reflects grades received since you submitted your application;
- New standardized exam (GRE, GMAT, TOEFL, IELTS) score reports;
- A revised résumé that includes information on a new job position;
- An additional recommendation that sheds light on an aspect of your background you weren't able to illuminate in other parts of the application.
Before I go on, I'll emphasize that no one is required to submit an update. Not at all! But you are invited to submit one, and why would you turn down this opportunity?
What type of optional update is best for you? Well, the first thing to do is consider whether you have your own suspicions regarding weaker aspects of your application. Are those aspects something you can improve on? For example, did you decide it would be better not to mention the causes of your weak undergraduate semester? I'd encourage you to explain it, particularly if it pulls down your overall GPA. Did you indicate that your language skills are not strong enough to pass our proficiency exam? Send us information on your plan for achieving proficiency before the end of the summer. Did you mistype your years of employment at a certain job, making it look like you were there for two months, rather than four years and two months? You can make that correction now. And, if your GRE/GMAT scores were significantly lower than you expected, you may want to take the test again.
Another suggestion: If, upon reflection, your essay didn't state your goals as clearly as you would have liked, send us a clarifying email! We won't substitute it for your personal statement, but it will certainly be reviewed. This could be particularly helpful if you've taken steps to learn more about your ultimate career goal.
Possible additions to your application need not be limited to what I've listed above. The key question to ask yourself is: Does this actually add anything? If the information is already included in your application, then there's there's not much value in sending it again. That is, an additional academic recommendation will add little to an application that already includes three. On the other hand, a professional recommendation will add a lot to an application that only includes academic recommendations. Think it through before you flood us with info, but don't hesitate to send us something that will give your application a happy bump.
Whether you were offered admission this week, or you were told we'll reconsider your application in the spring, we look forward to hearing from you and to working with you during the coming months. Please be sure to be in touch if you have questions.

PhD applications due Saturday
By Jessica Daniels On December 15, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In Admissions Tips, General Admissions News
PhD applicants: You're part of a small subset of our total group of applicants, but you certainly have the most complex application! Last week, our student interns were taking questions daily about the finer point of the process, but many questions revolved around the dissertation proposal requirement. Yes, we know that a formal dissertation proposal is often a post-coursework requirement in other PhD programs. In fact, that's the case here, too. So what are we looking for in the proposal that should accompany your application? Well, let's start with the instructions.
PhD Proposal (1,500 words maximum, single-spaced, Arial 12 point font)
Your PhD Proposal should include:
- A title
- A researchable topic: what question do you propose to study and what evidence are you bringing to bear?
- A brief overview of the literature of the field
- A short description of the proposed methodology for research: how does your research question fit into the existing body of scholarship? How do you propose to answer your research question? What methodologies do you propose to use?
The purpose of this preliminary proposal is to ensure there is a good match between the applicant's interests and the expertise among the faculty at Fletcher. It's expected that your interests will be refined as you complete classes for the program, but it's also expected that the subject of your research focus will remain essentially the same.
The other most-often-asked question regards the master's thesis. Again, let's turn to the instructions:
MA Thesis or a writing sample of approximately 40 pages (in English)
Please upload a copy of your thesis to the online application. If your master's program did not require the writing of a thesis, you can provide a substantial writing sample as a substitute, so long as you are the sole author.
There are two reasons behind this requirement. First, all Fletcher PhD students must complete a master's thesis. If they haven't done so in their master's degree program, they need to write one while at Fletcher. Second, and more important for admissions purposes, the faculty on the PhD Admissions Committee want to see that you can make an argument and follow it through — the kind of research and writing work that you will need to do as a student here. As the instructions note, you can submit another research paper, but you'll want to be sure that it's a good representative sample of your best work. Often we're asked whether a shorter paper will do the trick. Well, um, I guess…but do you want to be judged on the basis of a ten-page paper when everyone else is presenting 50 pages? Give it some thought and then try to find the best possible example of your writing.
Our online application system tells me that dozens of PhD applicants are in the process of completing their applications. With five days leading to the December 20 deadline, I hope these notes will be helpful for those who are wrapping up their materials.

EN update — and first Admissions Committee meeting!
By Jessica Daniels On December 5, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
The first Friday in December is a big day around the Admissions Office. It's when we kick off the year's discussion of applications with our first Admissions Committee meeting. And that's where I'll be going in just a few minutes.
Early Notification applicants may want to know what's happening around here. You just learned that we'll be discussing some of your applications today. In addition, I'll add that nearly every complete application has already been read by two Committee members. We'll be finishing those last applications in the next few days. Then we begin the extended period of making final decisions and notifying applicants. For the EN round, students may be admitted, or we may defer consideration of an application to the spring. In a few cases, we'll notify applicants that they have not been admitted to Fletcher; we hope that learning this in December helps them make decisions on which other graduate schools to apply to in January.
And so, coffee mug in hand, I'm off to the first meeting of the year!
Thanksgiving catch-up reading
By Jessica Daniels On November 27, 2014 · Leave a Comment · In General Admissions News
Because so many Americans head out on the highway to visit family and friends for Thanksgiving, I thought Admissions road trips might make good Thanksgiving reading. From Liz's most recent trip, back to our old friend Peter's trip to California during a period of wildfires, I'm lucky that someone is always willing to write about fall travels.
And because the time is right for many people who will apply in January to be working through their personal statements, I've gathered posts on essays for you. If you go back far enough, we were working with slightly different prompts (topics), but the essence of our guidance is still the same.
Pre-Thanksgiving Thanks

As I note every year, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I'll be joined by a bunch of family members for the traditional chaotic family meal.
But maybe Thanksgiving is not your holiday, and you'd like the blog to keep delivering content. Or perhaps it is your holiday, and you finally have some time to catch up on past posts. Fear not, blog readers. The blog will keep working through the holiday to bring you up-to-date on topics that may interest you.
And this always seems like a good moment to thank you for reading the blog. There are many ways to gather information about Fletcher, from our Facebook page, to our website, to our Twitter feed (not to mention the Admissions Facebook page, website, and Twitter feed), so I appreciate that you include the blog among your information gathering venues.
Now I'm off to prep for the holiday. Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, wherever you are!
(Note that the Admissions Office, and the rest of Tufts University, will be closed both tomorrow (Thursday) and Friday.)
