Greene, Milton:Milton Greene was born in New York City in 1922. As one of the most celebrated photographers of the past century, Milton Greene began his artistic career at the early age of fourteen. He received a scholarship to Pratt Institute, but he decided to follow his passion for photography instead. Although he was the chosen photographer of Marilyn Monroe, developing repute for celebrity portraiture, Greene began his career in fashion photography. Greene quickly immersed himself in the art world, assisting various photojournalists and honing his knowledge and creative skillset. By the age of twenty-three, Greene was known as "Color Photography's Wonder Boy." Naturally, he met fellow photographers such as Richard Avedon, Cecil Beaton, and Irving Penn, all with whom Greene helped make fashion photography a part of the fine arts. It was his amiable nature that influenced his mastery of celebrity portraiture, as he had a talent for directing his subjects in a way that evoked their specific qualities and characteristics, enabling him to perfectly capture their natural personas. Consequently, he developed close relationships with his subjects, most famous for which is his friendship with Marilyn Monroe. They instantly shared a connection and became close friends after meeting in 1953 on assignment for Look Magazine. Greene and Monroe formed their own company in 1956, the Marilyn Monroe Productions, with which they produced The Prince and the Showgirl and Bus Stop. Greene took innumerable photo sessions with her, one of his most famous being the Black Sitting, capturing Monroe unlike any other artist, showing her truly legendary spirt. They held such an endearing friendship that Monroe entrusted Greene with her biography, entitled My Story. Greene's artistic career as a most-loved photographer gained him several honors and awards for his work, including ones from the Art Director's Club of New York and the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Milton Greene passed away in 1985.

The Times is reporting that the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams, has begun "intensive and private" talks with fellow clergy and religious leaders over Uganda's proposed Anti-Homosexuality Bill which would, amongst other punishments for Uganda's gay citizens, allow for HIV positive gay Ugandans to be hanged under the crime of "aggravated homosexuality".
A statement from Lambeth Palace related by The Times' religious correspondent Ruth Gledhill says:
"It has been made clear to us, as indeed to others, that attempts to publicly influence either the local church or political opinion in Uganda would be divisive and counter-productive. Our contacts, at both national and diocesan level, with the local church will therefore remain intensive but private."
Going yet further still, an extraordinary statement by the Presiding Bishop of America's Episcopal Church, Katharine Jefferts Schori, also formally condemns the Bill, saying that all efforts to criminalize homosexual behavior are inconsistent with the tenets of the Church, while adding:
…We note that much of the current climate of fear, rejection, and antagonism toward gay and lesbian persons in African nations has been stirred by members and former members of our own Church. We note further that attempts to export the culture wars of North America to another context represent the very worst of colonial behavior. We deeply lament this reality, and repent of any way in which we have participated in this sin.
You can read the rest of the Bishop's statement here.
Meanwhile media and political commentator Rachel Maddow has dedicated a number of segments to the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill this past week, entitled "Uganda be Kidding Me".
In this first clip, Maddow examines the bill and describes its main architecture:
This second clip is, perhaps, even more interesting. In our previous coverage of this story we've discussed how Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill had possible links to certain American Evangelicals and the group known as "The Family".
Here, Rachel Maddow explores this link in an interview with author Jeff Sharlet:
In related news, the Swedish government is reportedly considering cutting aid to Uganda over what one government official described as the "appalling" Anti-Homosexuality Bill.
Gunilla Carlsson, Sweden's development assistance minister, has indicated:
"My number two at the ministry, who has direct contact with the Ugandan government, has brought it up… We've talked about it in Uganda, and I've also tried to speak to the kind of organisations in Uganda that are the target of the legislation."
Approximately $50 million in development aid is given by Sweden to Uganda every year. You can read more on this over at ThinkProgress.
This has got people wondering though, will the United States also cut aid?
Earlier this week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did make a pledge to fight homophobia and anti-gay legislation globally. On the eve of World AIDS Day, Clinton spoke on how the United States was committed to the global fight against the spread of HIV, and as part of that speech, said:
"Obviously, our efforts are hampered whenever discrimination or marginalization of certain populations results in less effective outreach and treatment. So we will work not only to ensure access for all who need it, but also to combat discrimination more broadly. We have to stand against any efforts to marginalize and criminalize and penalize members of the LGBT community worldwide. It is an unacceptable step backwards… on behalf of human rights. But it is also a step that undermines the effectiveness of efforts to fight the disease worldwide."
Full text of the speech can be found here.
There has also been some indication that, although no direct condemnation of the bill has been forthcoming from the White House, there is an investigation into the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill going on behind the scenes.
I wonder if this is an indication of how global leaders and religious authorities will condemn the Bill without having to directly answer the problem of Uganda's vehement anti-gay stance. Hilary Clinton's argument in opposing anti-homosexuality laws goes:
That, by introducing such laws, a government pushes homosexuals into hiding and perpetuates risky sexual behavior, therein, increasing the chances of the HIV virus spreading.
Opposing such a law seems to offer a legitimate reason for global involvement because the spread of AIDS is, by most definitions, a global issue. This is especially true when humanitarian and development aid is factored in.
Speaking of aid, another stance the U.S. could take, of course, might be to withdraw its own aid development funding from Uganda, which I believe amounts to around $246 million per year. This, of course, throws up a different set of political and ethical questions.
Does the American administration condemn but tolerate Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill so as to not interfere with the internal politics of a nation, as AIDS Ambassador Eric Goosby seemed to think was appropriate when he spoke on the issue during a recent interview:
"My role is to be supportive and helpful to the patients who need these services. It is not to tell a country how to put forward their legislation. But I will engage them in conversation around my concern and knowledge of what this is going to do to that population, and our ability to stop the movement of the virus into the general population."
Or does the administration hold fast to its political and ideological stance and impose sanctions on Uganda, and therein risk pushing the Ugandan government into further extremism?
Without aid, Uganda's citizens, homosexual and heterosexual alike, will almost certainly suffer. Perhaps the question becomes, what does the Ugandan government value more? $265 million in aid, or to pursue, to death, its homosexual citizens beyond the bounds of its already strict institutionalized homophobia.
At this stage, I am not even sure that denying Uganda aid can help with regards to stopping the Anti-Homosexuality Bill passing. I think, even if it's not this bill, it will soon be another. The issue of homosexuality that Uganda is waving around seems to me to be the flag of a much larger culture war. Therefore, do we change the question again, and instead ask:
Can America, and the global community as a whole, continue to provide financial aid to Uganda if it passes the Anti-Homosexuality Bill without being complicit in the Ugandan government's purging of homosexuals?
And just to bring this home, to reduce it to a personal level, a recent entry to a blog by GayUganda, an anonymous gay Ugandan man writing about his life, reads:
"What will happen, when the bill becomes law?
I cannot hide from it. I know how bad it is. What will happen, when I have to live with it?
"Words fail me. Because, Uganda would have become the most dangerous country for a gay man to live in. "

The only way to sanction homophobia in a homophobic country is to deny aid. We can petition and try to educate, but in the end the Governments will only respond to human rights when they have there money stopped. It wont change the societal view for a long time, but should prevent LGB people being persecuted legally.

Yes, since the aid does not go to those who need it. Better yet, how about finding a way to get the aid to those in desperate need instead of those who are causing most of the problems.
Pull the aid, or we will all be guilty of being barbarians! We cannot back peoples and countries that have such a policy as to allow these crimes to persist.
You bet we should stop.
What you say Tom? Took wrong turn in color discrimination. Wrong.
As usual, the theft of other people's land and resources, go over NeoCons or conservative thinking folk. How do you go to a land where there are tribes and evidently some community law, excavate and drill for oil, gold, platinum, titanium, and other valuable resources, without giving the native citizens any cut in their own revenues? They set up a phony government and oil backed missionaries, and not only get them for 10 in tithes, but pay off the flunkies put in place and watch the decay and starvation of people.
Heartless murderers.
International boycott by developed and developing nations because of "religious persecution"
Every immigrant I know in the US has come from some sort of persecutional country. If Uganda is truly a democratic Nation, then the rules of democracy "protect ALL native citizens" from persecution and freedom of religion or from religion.
Next they will be persecuting "Atheist"
Hit them on their tourism also. The sick mind must be starved off oxygen to breathe this evil. NO money or support for open murder for what someone may or may NOT do, in their "own bedrooms."
Who's the snoop now?
Oh the whackadoodles from the Evil Angel society of T-baggers.
The Anti-gay bill is abhorrent and it seems will diminish the ability of Aids workers to help to treat those with HIV, as homosexuals will go further underground.
I have to agree with Jason B in that cutting aid from other countries will punish the wrong people. The best possible move in my view would be to fight fire with fire. Religious leaders must speak up add their condemnation to this Bill. It is the absolute opposite expression to what I believe is Jesus' message for the world. Strong Christians would gain a lot of respect for their stance if they show the world that this bill is un-Christian and will be strongly opposed in religious circles. Even the Pope cannot support death and imprisonment on this issue. Wouldn't it be great to hear his voice on this?
The US eventually shut South Africa out after years of persecution and discrimination against its black/colored majority and denying them their civil & human rights. Corporations and individuals joined in and boycotted SA - with the notable exceptions of many Conservatives in the US, like Ronald Reagan (who never missed an opportunity to lambast the lack of freedom in the USSR, yet praised SA even though is treated its majority population worse than the Soviets treated their citizens - but SA allowed US corporations free rein there. If the USSR had allowed the same thing, you can bet RR & his ilk would have hugged them too.) Human/civil rights only seem to matter when there's no significant amount of money to be lost, in a lot of people's minds.
It is abhorrent that this ridiculous Archbishop of Canterbury (who even suggested that Islamic Sharia law be allowed in the UK!!) should be so quiet on this. He has been quiet when the African bishops made hatefilled statements against LGBT people, yet he has not minded speaking out on women's and black people's rights. Why?
Sanctions and boycotts worked (finally) against South Africa and this bill is even more cruel and unjust than Apartheid was.
Thank goodness for those whose hearts are good enough to speak out in public to condemn cruelty and injustice like this - Sweden, Archbishop Tutu, the Presiding Bishop of the Episcopal Church (a woman - which also set off these rightwing African "Christians") and others
Money no education, support, a way to escape such a dangerous government yes (although from some of the comments it is apparent many of our own citizens need further education as well...diseases from Africa? Please watch Origins of AIDS white men created this disease - NOT intentionally but they did create it!).
"We must look into ourselves, into the depth of our souls. We must become something we have never been and for which our education and experience and environment have ill-prepared us. We must become bigger than we have been, more courageous, greater in spirit, larger in outlook. We must become members of a new race, overcoming petty prejudice, owing our ultimate allegence not to nations but to our fellow men within the human community."

Symptoms of
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be
terrifying. They may disrupt your life and make it hard to continue with your
daily activities. It may be hard just to get through the day.
symptoms usually start soon after the traumatic event, but they may not happen
until months or years later. They also may come and go over many years. If the
symptoms last longer than 4 weeks, cause you great distress, or interfere with
your work or home life, you probably have PTSD.
Even if you
always have some symptoms, counseling can help you cope. Your symptoms don't
have to interfere with your everyday activities, work, and relationships.
Most people who go through a traumatic event have some symptoms
at the beginning but don't develop PTSD.
There are four types of
Reliving the event
Bad memories of the traumatic event can come back at any time. You may
feel the same fear and horror you did when the event took place. You may feel
like you're going through the event again. This is called a flashback.
Sometimes there is a trigger: a sound or sight that causes you to relive the
event. Triggers might include:
Avoiding situations that remind you of the event
You may try to avoid situations or people that
trigger memories of the traumatic event. You may even avoid talking or thinking
about the event.
Feeling numb
You may
find it hard to express your feelings. This is another way to avoid
Feeling keyed up
may be alert and on the lookout for danger. This is known as increased
emotional arousal. It can cause you to:

Belichick: No discipline problems with Moss
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. Wes Welker may become more of a leader. Vince Wilfork doesn't know if the team will be better or worse. Bill Belichick says he has confidence in all his players.
The New England Patriots moved on without Randy Moss on Thursday when they practiced for the first time since one of the NFL's best receivers ever was traded to the Minnesota Vikings.
Some players were concerned that a friend was gone but noted that football is a business. Others chatted and joked as if it were a typical day. And Belichick spoke positively about the player who said he didn't expect to be with the Patriots once his contract expired after this season.
"Randy was really a pleasure to coach. I enjoyed having him on our team," Belichick said. "It was a difficult decision but one that I feel was in the best interests of the football team. ... I wish Randy the absolute best."
Several factors contributed to Wednesday's trade, Belichick said, but didn't specify them.
"I would say there was never any incident or discipline problem with Randy," he said. "There never has been one with me in four years and it certainly wasn't about contract and money."
Belichick did send Moss and three other players home last year when they showed up late for team meetings during a snowstorm that had traffic backed up on Dec. 9.
Now that Moss is "back home" in Minnesota, as he said at a news conference Thursday, how will the Patriots offense respond?
"I have a lot of confidence in our total team, all of our players," Belichick said.
Welker is their only proven receiver. Brandon Tate, a third-round draft pick last year, steps into a starting spot. Rookie tight end Aaron Hernandez has the speed and shiftiness of a wide receiver but lacks experience.
So how can the Patriots, who received a third-round choice in next year's draft for Moss, be better this year without him?
"I'm not going to sit here and say 'no' or 'yeah.' Time will tell," said Wilfork, a nose tackle. "I'm happy with this team, with everybody that's around here, young and old. ... We're getting ready for Baltimore. We'll see what happens without Randy.
"We never had problems with Randy."
The Patriots are 3-1 and tied for the AFC East lead. They have a bye week and play their next game Oct. 17 at home against the Baltimore Ravens (2-2).
That's when Welker should see how defenses guard him without a deep threat like Moss drawing plenty of attention. They joined the Patriots together in 2007 and, in the first three years, Welker led the NFL with 346 receptions.
"Things may change a little bit, but we have some fast guys that can definitely go deep and stretch the field," Welker said. "Obviously, Randy was one of the best in the game to do it."
Without Moss, 33, the Patriots' most experienced receiver is Welker.
He could play "maybe more of a leadership role as far as the receivers (go)," Welker said. "I'm the older guy in there now and just trying to bring these guys along."

Most management and CEO's in the region identify trends after tangible products are developed rather than exploring a movement that would set their companies into a leadership position
July 30, 2012 10:01 by kippreport
The more our lives reach new comfort levels we constantly see manifestations of trends developing into products. The speed that marketing is able to educate society of upcoming developments is amazingly quick. Most people foresee trends as tangible products or lifestyles, though in actuality, trends are a thought or an idea that have yet to be manifested into products. The standard procedure is, CEO's and other executives observe trends on charts, data and decide to follow the fashion that the research provided. Now the question is: if a certain trend appears and several companies identify it and follow it, then doesn't that specific trend become saturated?
For example, take the Islamic banking market. If one company sees a trend of a certain Islamic fund and everyone within that category decides to follow that, how much room does the audience have to observe the products? And what would the product life span be?
Trends can either have short and long life spans, but in marketing, trend's life span's are measured by consumption or usability. The question is: how much can companies depend on trends? And furthermore, what kinds of trends should companies adopt? The critical point to recognize is: not every trend is feasible. So, who manages the movement?
If trends are left upon research, top management or CEO's, then the company is in serious misfortune, like most companies in the region. Trends should be managed by well-experienced marketers to measure the expectations and to plan the strategy of each development. If each movement turns into a product, marketing should determine the development based on audience demand, not data. Seasoned marketeers can predict the life span and position of the trends as a market advantage.
For the past few years, the world of marketing was not able to distinguish between "trends as ideas" versus "trends as products." This confusion came from management sticking their nose in every marketing strategy. Most management and CEO's in the region identify trends after tangible products are developed rather than exploring a movement that would set their companies into a leadership position. The current category-war in each industry shows that most management is failing to observe the differentiation factor, which is quality. They've made the crucial mistake that quality could also be a trend that consumers follow. Companies should take note to not debate about quality but rather making it an overall requirement.
In today's market, quality is the differentiation factor not specific trends between companies. Quality alone is hard to transform into a movement and garner an audience. However, establishing a trend can automatically place a company in the leadership position, for example, Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and LinkedIn all helped create the social media trend. Each of the mentioned brands falls into an existing trend called social media and differentiated themselves enough to lead or create a category.

Originally written on The Sports Bank | Last updated 12/3/11
Your NIU Huskies are MAC champions for the first time since 1983, and they did it in dramatic style. NIU improved to 10-3 and finished an up and down season with a tremendous high- winning their first conference title game in the last three attempts. The very definition of the extremely tired cliche "tale of two halves," Ohio won the first half 20-0, but NIU beat the Bobcats 23-0 in the second half. Chandler Harnish, the greatest QB in school history, and likely the league MVP, wasn't able to establish his running game against the Bobcats, but he threw for 250 yards and three TDs. Make no mistake though- this game was won by the defense. (For more on Harnish) For more go here. Paul M.

Rockin' the block with street art
Graffiti Art Project celebrates urban medium
CORPUS CHRISTI - Aspiring artist Felix Lamb had a good reason to join the Graffiti Art Project: either get arrested for tagging, the 18-year-old said, or learn how to create his art legally and make money selling it.
He put his talents on display Saturday during the group's third annual block party on Starr Street.
As he and others spray-painted on large canvasses, a DJ played hip hop music. Break dancers showed off their moves. Skateboarders impressed the large crowd with jumps off a ramp.
The block party celebrated urban art and showed off the Graffiti Art Project's passion for legal spray-painting.
Graffiti isn't a new phenomenon, art therapist and Graffiti Art Project teacher Lisa Harrison said. Cavemen did it, and its current form should be celebrated as contemporary art.
"I love street art. It's bright, colorful and inspiring. I can really see the value in that, and I want the community to see the value in it, too," Harrison said.
When she moved here from New Mexico she was surprised by the strict laws against illegal graffiti. When she read about a young boy who wanted to become an art professor but was convicted of felony vandalism, she decided to do something about it.
With a grant from the Arts & Cultural Commission, she collaborated with K Space Contemporary's Director Michelle Smythe and started the program, now in its third year.
"Our goal here is to get people to understand legal graffiti as art and to open the minds of our anti-graffiti community members," Harrison said.
Students are required to take an introductory course that covers the dangers of working with toxic chemicals as well as laws and consequences of illegal vandalism.
They learn about marketing their art and the difference between selling a hat with their design and illegally spray-painting on a building. They are taught about careers in art, including graphic design, Harrison said.
For Lamb, it's a way to explore his passion.
Doing it the right way is fun.
"We get to hang out with our friends, doing what we like to do," Lamb said. "Instead of picking a gang or selling drugs I get to use my potential for art."

Three months later the condensor still hadn't arrived. I had to call them to get my money back. I guess they just had a reputation to live up to. I too wonder how a company that practically only gets negative comments can stay in business. By the way has anybody seen their adds on ebay. It just screams "stay away".

You could be ordinary, you could be the one
Nice to meet you! :) Here I am, would like to meet some cool people outside my regular circle. Me: Outgoing, adventurous and high energy. I enjoy good company ( It doesn't matter where you are and what you are doing, it is the company that matters, right?). But of course I also enjoy the quality time with me and myself. I'd rather look at people with my heart than my eyes, maybe with my 6th sense ;) I am a positive person who believes that people are inherently good and I live my life with that mentality. During the week I'd like to do HH and attend tech related events (passionate about information technology), yet try to fill my weekend with fun outdoor activities for some sunshine and fresh air, which are the best things you can get for free! I had lived in China and Switzerland before I made it home here. I love to get away when I have some free time, near and far. Discovering new things and meeting new people always excite me! ( I have to say that I got a thing for guys in suit and tie, and can speak/understand Mandarin, as they are kinda rare to find in my circle, ha!) My girl friends said "I'm like the ringleader and I call the shots; a firecracker and I make it hot"; my guy friends think I am a cool buddy and not a typical Asian girl. But if you wonder how I am exactly, you would have to come and find out yourself. After all, I am easy to talk to and open up for LTR (no hook-up pls) and friendship (I know they all said who has time to make friends on match.com). But I do believe a long lasting relationship begins with a solid friendship. You: Independent but not indifferent, free-spirit but responsible, inquisitive but not stubborn, humble but not modest (there is a difference), who can stand a LOL girl (I laugh easily). Connection and Compatibility are what I am looking for. You should be able to express yourself freely and relax around me; we could have interesting conversations but also be a good listener to each other (I believe communication is a key and a must for a healthy relationship); a HOPELESS ROMANTIC like myself is a plus and would definitely spice our relationship up! Loyalty and honesty are also very important as I will offer the same things to the special one. I try to live my life to the fullest, and I would like you to have the same energy and endless curiosity to explore the world and enjoy life together! However we could also enjoy a lazy weekend together like watching a movie and cooking at home. P.s. I put up a lot of pictures, not because I'm full of myself but to give you a full impression of my style and look. Thanks for reading and happy matching. :)

BALTIMORE - DECEMBER 20: Head coach John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens waves to fans after the gme against the Chicago Bears at M&T Bank Stadium on December 20, 2009 in Baltimore, Maryland. The Ravens defeated the Bears 31-7. (Photo by Larry French/Getty Images)
WASHINGTON — Indiana and its fans may not have been thrilled to end up in the East Region instead of the Midwest, but John Harbaugh sure was. The coach of the Super Bowl champion Baltimore Ravens made the short trip to the Verizon Center on Wednesday afternoon to watch the Hoosiers practice and see his brother-in-law, Tom Crean. "I'm excited to be a part of it. I love these players," Harbaugh said. "I've seem them practice over the years and I've kind of been around for the last four years, so it's just a great experience to be a part of." Harbaugh and his brother, Jim, coach of the San Francisco 49ers, have always spent a good amount of time around Crean and the Indiana program, especially during the football offseason. John Harbaugh said he's been impressed by what the Hoosiers have already accomplished this season. "To hold on to that No. 1 spot for as long as they did, to me, is an amazing accomplishment," he said. "They've been consistent, they've been steady. I love the Tem

Former UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva, suffered his first loss in over seven years when he was knocked out by Chris Weidman at UFC 162. Now four months before the rematch, Silva talked about a conversation he had with Dana White, that motivated him to finish the remaining fights on his ten fight deal. "The first time in my life and my career I get knocked out and I'm not happy," Silva explained. "The time I finished the fight, I'm no happy, but I go back to the hotel and three days Dana talked to me: 'This is very important for your legacy. We need you back. We need you to go for a rematch.' I talk to my coach, and my family. My coach say, 'Yeah this is very important for you. They need you back. They need you to give for the fans one more fight. One more chance for the fans watching for the belt. I go to my grandmaster in Thailand," he explained. "I go for training. I pick up back my energy, the marital arts and the new Anderson is coming. You'll see." Silva is arguably one of the greatest combat athletes of all time, so it will be interesting to see how he rebounds in the rematch and his remaining fights.

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- The NHL's abbreviated schedule makes it even more important to get off to a fast start this season. With just 48 games, there won't be much time to make up ground for anyone who falls into an early hole. With little roster turnover after the best season in franchise history, a discipline-based system and more depth than they've ever had, the Phoenix Coyotes appear to be one of the teams in good position to put together a fast start. Consistency will be a key, and the Coyotes have plenty of it. "You're going to hear lots about how you're going to have to have a great start and come out ready to go, but you've got to have a great start, a great middle and a great finish," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said Sunday from Jobing.com Arena. "That's what we'll strive for. One of the identities of our team is how well we can play for long stretches of time. Consistency is a big part of it and I think that's going to be a factor for us." Consistency has been the trad...

Having made eleven million dollars in Alaska during the gold strike, Elam Harnish, known as "Burning Daylight," leaves for San Francisco, unaware that Nell, a dance hall girl who loves him, has killed herself because of his departure. In San Francisco, Harnish nearly loses his fortune to scheming financiers but emerges from the experience a formidable competitor in the financial world. His life in the city, however, makes him cruel and dependent on pleasure. Gradually he realizes that he is in love with his stenographer, Dede Mason, who resists his courtship. Eventually Harnish, forced to choose between Dede and his fortune, sacrifices his money and returns to Alaska with Dede.

Much was made of the finish to the Marquette Golden Eagles' 2008-'09 season - "The Gantlet," as some called it.
After going 12-2 to start the Big East Conference, they faced No. 2 Connecticut, No. 6 Louisville, No. 3 Pittsburgh and No. 25 Syracuse in succession to close out league play with a chance to control their own destiny and possibly win the regular-season title.
That all went out the window early against UConn, however, when Dominic James broke his foot. The Golden Eagles lost that game to the Huskies, and then lost to the Cardinals, Panthers and Orange as well, backing into the Big East tournament on a four-game losing streak without their four-year starter at point guard.
This season, MU (9-3) was hit by the injury bug early, first with projected starting point guard Junior Cadougan going down to a ruptured Achilles' tendon and improving center Chris Otule suffering a broken foot. Then, earlier in the month, Jeronne Maymon quit the team, leaving the Golden Eagles with just nine scholarship players.
And guess what? Another gantlet awaits - this one beginning Tuesday night at No. 6 West Virginia (10-0), one of just six unbeaten teams in Division I. After that, No. 8 Villanova visits the Bradley Center, followed by No. 14 Georgetown. MU then hits the road again, traveling to Villanova.
In short, four matchups against top-15 teams in 12 days for a team featuring five players who either played sparingly last season or are in their first year at the Division I level. Who said life would be easy in the Big East?
"If we can just keep growing, I don't know that we'll win but we'll be fine," said coach Buzz Williams. "And I think we'll be a little bit better than fine, but I don't know when that's going to be - maybe early, maybe late, maybe in the middle. We may be awful on either side of being good in the middle.
"The challenge is to throw good pitches every day, because you can't hit a home run in the Big East because you've got to do it the next night and the next night and the next night."
Based on its performance up to this point, MU's pre-season ranking of 12th in the Big East (as voted upon by the coaches) doesn't appear horribly off-base.
The Golden Eagles' two best wins have come against Xavier and Michigan, two teams that have struggled against admittedly tough schedules. Their losses came on a late basket to Florida State in the Old Spice Classic, at home against North Carolina State after a second-half collapse and at Wisconsin after they dug an early hole from which they were never able to emerge.
Undersized from the outset and lacking in both depth and experience, MU will have its work cut out for it not only during the opening portion of its schedule but overall, as the league is shaping up to be tougher than many anticipated.
Throw No. 5 Syracuse and No. 11 UConn into the mix - and then factor in much-improved Cincinnati, Seton Hall and St. John's - and it's clear the Big East will be all MU can handle from start to finish again.
"So, where are we in that mix? I don't know," Williams said. "In the right way, I didn't know where we were a year ago at this time. A year ago at this time, everybody said, 'Hey, you've got all those guards, you're going to win all these games,' and we were playing potentially for the Big East championship against UConn. 'Nic broke his foot and we didn't win another game.
"Life is so fragile, just like basketball."
The Golden Eagles are actually shooting better both overall and from three-point range and defending better than they were a year ago against a tougher schedule. But they had the luxury of being able to rely upon James, Jerel McNeal and Wesley Matthews - three of the league's most experienced players - once Big East play began.
That won't be the case now, as only Lazar Hayward and Jimmy Butler can be rightfully called battle-tested. David Cubillan and Maurice Acker, both deep subs a year ago, also have been around, which should be a help now that they've been forced into playing a lot of minutes.
The rest of the team will be making its first road foray into the Big East on Tuesday night, and at West Virginia to boot - a place that hasn't been kind to the Golden Eagles.
Making the situation even tougher is the ridiculous size advantage of coach Bob Huggins' Mountaineers - five starters standing 6 feet 7 inches or taller, led by Da'Sean Butler and Devin Ebanks.
The 6-9 Ebanks possesses freakish talent, as evidenced by his line in West Virginia's 90-84 overtime victory at Seton Hall on Saturday: 22 points, 17 rebounds, seven assists and no turnovers while playing all 45 minutes - out of position at point guard, no less.
"I think that they're extremely tough, hard-playing and they're playing with nine Jimmy Butlers and one point guard, and the point guard weighs as much as the nine Jimmy Butlers," said Williams. "I think they're as good as any team I've coached against in my career - head coach or assistant - free-throw line and down, and that's why they haven't lost a game."

I believe you're taking his words out of context.
He is saying that, nomatter what role you are doing, you're either dealing, mitigating, or healing damage. It's similar to builds within a class. You can have multiple builds, yet the class will always remain that class (In example, you can build your mage nature, elementalist, arcanist, whatever..but they shall still remain the mage class.)
You can be a puller, yet you're doing damage while you pull (DPS) or you're mitigating it by keeping distance. You can do aggro management to keep all enemies on a person but they are going to soak it up (Tank). You can continue butting your allies and stack heal-over-time restoration effects while they are being attacked (Healer.)
I guess the only type of actual shift from this is if people are able to mix-n-match roles in order to heal for a split second then go back to damaging, but regardless it will always remain damage/heal/mitigate. Any other roles, such a recon (Apologies if I'm taking this out of context the wrong way, Loktofeit.) are usually meant for out-of-combat cases unless the game would actually allow people to sneak out of combat and, like, watch for reinforcements. In which case that would be impressive, but the main topic is the combat trinity.
You're usually going to have a person be the main source of soaking or taking damage. You're usually going to have a team made to deal damage to an enemy. You're usually going to have a person that could heal the damage dealt in typical MMOs. While there are some cases where this could be changed (GW2 healer -> support, which was usually overlooked... Runescape's soloing methods or pull tactics such as SGW which is still considered being tanked.. That one special raid in any MMO which requires a healer with magical defense to tank.) Most of the other roles you may provide end up falling into the category of the three (four depending on the certain fights and the role of pulling) "trinity" roles. To make a game based on something new that could potentially introduce some new plan would require not just tons of planning, but balance to make sure it isn't RNG-based as per the tank-role deletion suggestion you gave.
Even then, they'll just be noted as "dodge tanks", or classes/people with the ability to avoid as much as possible, support who usually mitigate damage or even soak up some like tanks, and focused-fire DPS. The only interesting case would be the support option, but that's been slightly done in GW2 though several games have shown it possible with enough damage soaking.
There are infinite types of roles, but they are usually categorized/organized into three roles with certain ones breaking out and being necessary only when the fight calls for them because, in my opinion, you should always be doing something in a fight unless it will be detrimential to your team (Or you are waiting for the perfect snapshot.). Even if you somehow provide the players with something new, they will break it down first to see if it aids them in any way above the usual setup.
Of course in my opinion, programming is infinite. Given enough time one can provide a whole new playing experience..but as it is, we're stuck with three folders filled with dozens of roles in each one.

Those two reasons are why we have homognaized holy trinity.. The only way we are going to get back thsoe unique special ability and roles is to go back in time.. We need to go back to dynamic group combat, NO LFG finder tool and screw PvP balance.. If I druid starts to kite your butt in PvP, oh well.. say goodbye Mr Warrior

I quit games when I run out of fun PvE no matter how great the PvP is and I know a lot of gamers that do the same. Tera had the best combat of my life but it just ran out of PvE so I had to move on.
I play games to become something amazing that no one has thought of or tried. I don't log into an mmorpg thinking. Oh god I cant wait to be a tank and do the same thing I just did for 20 years. Snorefest.

You are of course correct, but I see the word 'trinity' as just a shorthand for the style of play you describe here. Whether it is literally true dosen't really bother me. I think the last thing we need here is another ongoing war over the meaning of a word... we really need this debated now in every thread in the future like 'sandbox' is?
It can really get in the way of actual interesting conversations.
Can we not just be cool that 'Trinity' means everything stated above and move on?

Do you always insult, mock, or generally demoralize everyone that has a different mindset than you? It's much more effective to post your own opinion on the matter.
There's two trinity threads up on the first page. One of how long ago did it start, the other one stating that the trinity never was, and that other roles altogether make a "trinity" or however people would like to call that.
I did not intend to mock you or criticize you in any way. This entire topic is based on avoiding the lack of imagination in class roles and you jumped right into the topic that we are discussing against. Therefore it offered nothing constructive to the advancement of the class roles/"trinity". Rather you admitted defeat.

And i had this enchanter wich at max lvl had 800 HP i had about 7k mana tho (kinda the most mana and least hp on european server afaik:P) When in a raid on vox i had to stand behind a pillar the entire time because her aoe did more damage then my hp bar had hp :P people came running to me when they needed mana.
(enchanter was a mana feeder) i could use a skill wich costed me about 300 mana and would give 1k mana to target :) + a powerfull mana regenbuff it was a wanted class :)
Yeah I could have just left the trinity word out. My bad lol. I should have titled this. "What happened to class imagination".

The roles I listed are combat roles. They just aren't present in most mainstream MMOs because of the mechanics of combat and the design of the combat arena.
There isn't a "right" or "wrong" way to play, if you want to use a screwdriver to put nails into wood, have at it, simply don't complain when the guy next to you with the hammer is doing it much better and easier. - Allein

Haha nice to see another old EQOA gamer. I pretty much wrote this entire thread based on that class (enchanter). Along with some other special classes like a FFXI "puller". It's very rare in games that a class is so specified to a task and I think the rewards and love being one of those classes is really missing in newer games. I cannot tell you how many enchanter friends were on my list. Pretty much ALL of them on CLW. I dual boxed 2 ps2's. I had a pure offensive modded warrior (6 mods most in game) and I loved my 5k hp heal. Since 5k was 100% of my hp it sure made me feel amazing every hour! I dual boxd a shammy healer/buffer of course since i was a pretty squishy guy lol.

It's still around but in more of the sandbox focused MMOs, specifically the ones based on warfare. It exists because those games don't predefine classes which means they are not then trying to restrict the game mechanics to fit within the confines of those classes.
If we are talking about classes beyond just combat, they are still around and doing well. You just have to look again toward sandbox-focused MMOs, as they often offer multiple ways to progress outside of the standard homocidal maniac path.

Everyone jumps into the topic with a post, whether it's agreement or disagreement. By not aknowledging those who disagree and attempting to persuade, explain or offer a different view and instead bashing (attempting to cause people to lose confidence, whether it be through just plain snarky insults labeled as "fact" that have nothing to do with the topic ("Your thoughts are tiny like the games that come out lately, You limit your mind to less because you are fed less, Imagination fail. Sigh, Rather you admitted defeat.")) the poster, you're keeping a sentimental (or nostalgic?) thread focused on your opinions and those who would agree with them.
A thread biased through your own means only brings a healthy discussion only if everyone agrees with you as I see is the case at this moment, and anyone who doesn't gets a comment that states how intellectual they are, that they can't see the truth because it's "what the gaming companys think you want" and "that is why class diversity in games is so lame now." along with somehow proving your point. On what grounds?
With your other topic/subject name "What happened to class imagination." I wouldn't have came here explaining my disagreement on the trinity and would even agree depending on how it's worded. But seeing how unneedingly negative it has become towards people disagreeing I'd rather just call it off.
Apologies Loktofeit, I knew that I would take it out of context the wrong way. Combat arenas is an interesting topic to bring up, however.
But i want to kill stuff differently then im used to.... You are right though for sure. These do exist in many games.
I am a very very very very strict High Fantasy MMORPG gamer. Nothing else shall wet my apetite as much. I probably should have explained that better at the start but im not really a "writer". Im just some dude with an opinion thats no more important then anyones.
I miss games making more classes. I felt like Everquest and a few other franchises were heading in that direction and my imagination to what the future held 10 years ago has saddened me when I look at what "classes" are offered today.

I have changed the title of my post to express the meaning behind it. It was never meant to flame anyone for using the word trinity. It was meant to explain that games were not always limited to such simplistic class design.

OP while i do tend to agree with the end result is disagree with your premiss.
It wasn't the dedicated roles that made these classes/combat style work, its was the differentiated roles.
While eq1 did a good job , id argue daoc did far better. With multiple classes each side mix and matched abilitites .. who had what between its classes (some what 40 or 41 something close to that) with many of them having much in common spread throught the different classes (with some unquie flavor thrown in). In this daoc exampled its not that you need to have a healer that onyl heals, and a buffer that only buffs. DAoc shown that if you have diversity of ability/ effectiveness that you had tyo trade for other things then you build a large and robust system that we both enjoy.
So an example, Druids (Hib) are prime healers, prime stat buffers, and have a pet and dot/dps line with some minor cc. You could obtain great heals and great stat buffs but your dps/pet/rooting ability would be less. This guy healed. Healers (mid) you could heal great, CC kings, and power (mana) and attack speed buff. Again pick two to do well with. Ok and Cleric (alb) great heals, good stat buffs (different ones in some cases), a crazy dps option (pick two but the dps optiosn are always a bit more demanding) .
Thast just one of the match ups, a good note is that the HEALER has the nice short term attackspeed buff avalible where as the other two do not, you'll find the same abilities on other classes for each of those sides. In this way you can see you get what you where talking about largely, You have a role. But for the most part you do always soak, heal, or dps some. This is good. Its good to given people very needed group/raid roles, plus provided them with active roles . So like you have chanting classes in the game also that have super short term aoe buffs and you could twist them so buy replaying them you could keep 2-3 of these group buffs up its viable but its also helpful to toss in heals and cc when needed. Keeping them more active then a bot.
This is what i am lookign for differentiated classes and roles (im super sick of having 2+ sides and making them the same classes, thats so lazy). They ahve optinunities to make entire other sides new combat experinces, largely the same (side-wise) but with marked differnces individually. Its also worth noting many of the options are unquie, but most of the core roleshave counterparts mixed throught the classes (heals, tank, dps, range, aoe, buffs, cc, then a giant and wild mixed bag of just for you).
While this was long i feel like its needed, i want that type of game the type of game your asking for, classes don't have to fit only one role, they don't have to simply soak (there were also so many stop gaps in that game, classes with support abilities that had less then amazing heals, or takyish dps with some magic to extend their range beyond melee) What we need is real diversity. Wow had this at one time, when it was better shadow priest played a role, shamans too, etc. It was always far weaker and far worse then the older games, but at least to some degree there. but like the failure of GW2 is a good example
No trinity , they took this and made it no anything no heals, no support, and no tank. There are specs and lines for these, but they are all far worse then just pure dps specs. There are not roles no strengths or weakness in that game only dps. In beta it had at least some level of ability to support a bit (while soaking and dpsing) and soak some (while dpsing and supporting) but they nerffed that out , because it was effective . They basiclly wanted to make anythign other than pure dps uselss and so they did. This si just dumb. You can say no longer will you sit back in just heal, instead youll heal your abilities will largely be to heal and buff but youll also dps a lot also and soak some at the same time . This is fine i would call that the death of the trinity , but no you cannot even do that in ANET's mind everyone must be the same reguardless of spec... so what was the point in the first place. Why even play an mmo.

Come at me bro! Gimme a tank that can AOE healz and haz cc abilities; I wanna be able to PWN and facerollol with me i-win button and be the greatest hero in me server. Any game that doesn't haz this is epic fail.
That been said, I agree with the OP. These days, game directors will say it's too hard. Maybe they are right if you follow the money.
Yeah I probably should play DAoC again. I never got that far into it. Truly what I want is more diversification in roles. It's not the trinity that bothers me so much as I often find myself playing a "tank". I would prefer 100 classes to no classes at all it was merely tossing around ideas and I appreciate your insight as well.

I understand it's hard to do but i think taking out the pvp aspect of a game makes this much more possible. Not having to balance vs players allows for much more class diversity in PvE. Least that is what I believe EQ had going for it. I don't think devs need to make pvp a thing in every game and I hope some can omit it with that in mind.

Yep those are some mem hog apps and to say this might be silly to some but this phone really can't handle them and never will. Damn pulse slows down my sgsii and it has double the ram and a dual core.
People have to realize this is an entry level phone and can't handle all the memory intensive apps.
Just take my sgsii has normally 300 MB free were this phone has 100 MB if your lucky right after you boot.

Here is how to get back to stock:
I used this to go back once and it worked. Also make sure your phone is seen in odin mode on your computer. If it isn't then you may need to (re)install kies from samsung. I had this problem but after installing kies it worked fine.
