Core Values
Texas A&M University Purpose Statement:
To develop leaders of character dedicated to serving the greater good.
Our purpose statement carries with it the responsibility, the traditions and the forward thinking of Texas A&M University exemplified by all who are associated with the university — its faculty and staff, and its current and former students. This can be defined by six core values.
Excellence - Set the bar.
Excellence stems from a great sense of pride in who we are and what we believe in. - Former Texas A&M President Dr. Robert Gates
There's an optimism, a faith in the future and an attitude that propels Aggies to take on the impossible - look at Red/White/Blue-Out. - Texas A&M Leadership
We could do just about anything if we tried hard enough. - Former Student
- Center for Teaching Excellence
- Honors and Undergraduate Research
- Texas A&M University Vision 2020 Plan
- Texas A&M University Research
Integrity - Character is destiny.
The Aggie Code of Honor which Aggies recite by heart: 'Aggies do not lie, cheat or steal nor tolerate those that do' shows what goes to the heart of being an Aggie. - Texas A&M Leadership
Integrity was the core value that A&M gave me more of than any other. It helped me succeed in my career because my fellow professionals, clients and friends knew that they could rely on me and my word. - Former Student
Leadership - Follow me.
If you don't want to be a leader of character, don't come here. - Former Corps Commandant LTG John Van Alstyne
The spirit of leadership is instilled in every student - whether they go on to lead in the boardroom or in the backyard - they have the values, the confidence and the experience to lead change in their world. - Texas A&M Leadership
Loyalty - Acceptance forever.
Through unity, strength. - Texas A&M University Corps of Cadets Motto
I'm proud to be a part of a family that will always be there for me that's 48,000 members strong...and that's not counting all those that came before or will come after. - Current Texas A&M Student
Loyalty and respect for tradition is about a sense of belonging to something greater than yourself. You're a part of a history of traditions...of a larger community. - Former Executive Vice President and Provost Dr. David Prior
Respect - We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we.
A&M students aren't just joining a university, they're joining a lifelong family that understands the value of loyalty, camaraderie, and unconditional support. - Texas A&M Leadership
A&M students embody a refreshing spirit: born of the values of friendliness, caring, support, confidence and a can-do attitude. - Former Student
Selfless Service - How can I be of service?
If I had to tell you about Aggie values in one sentence I would simply ask the question: How can I be of service? - Current Texas A&M Student
A&M encourages volunteerism, encourages being one of a thousand points of light, helping others... and it comes naturally to Aggies. - Former U.S. President George Bush

Chris Donavan will long remember the day she walked into her children's Sunday school class and saw a very animated Frances Pedrick Benz and her puppet theater.
About Frances
Age: 85
Community: Isle of Palms
Occupation: Retired educator and librarian.
People will remember: Her unselfish nature.
Affiliations: Church of the Holy Cross.
Survivors include: Her husband, John Christopher Benz; and son Gilbert Frederick Benz.
Benz, who taught Sunday school at Church of the Holy Cross, was an amazing teacher, Donavan says. The children in the class were giving Benz their undivided attention.
Benz brought Bible stories to life using methods that made a lasting impression on children, Donavan says. Her own children would re-enact the lessons at home, embracing the teachings in the process.
Donavan, who knew Benz for 25 years, learned many things about being a Christian as she watched Benz practice her faith, she says.
Benz, who was born Feb. 18, 1928, died Sept. 6.
Some of those lessons were learned while interacting with Benz during TBA, a women's Bible study group at their church.
"Fran was the oldest in the group and had far more wisdom than the rest of us," Donavan says. "But she would come as if she had so much to learn from us."
Lisa Collins, who also participates in TBA, described Benz as a treasure. "She was this precious jewel who taught me a lot about the Christian life by the way she lived."
Benz, Collins says, was a self-less giver. She was someone who always asked about you first, she says, adding that Benz had a quick wit and could always get you to laugh. "She was an amazing woman."
Donavan says Benz could always put things into perspective.
"She would give us a more gentle perspective on things such as divorce, childbirth and teens. She would help us to see the bigger picture."
Benz, Donavan says, also was the driving force behind the church's library.
"She solicited all the donations and chose the best materials. It's a great place to meditate, pray, relax and chat with friends.
Benz also organized a project for seniors to make care packages for church members who had gone away to college. It was a way to let the students know the church still cared about them. It was a way for the seniors to feel they were doing something useful with their time.
Benz was always thinking of others, Donavan says. She would redirect the focus of her conversations to others. It was never just about her.
"You just always felt loved and that you were the greatest person in the world. I will miss the way she read the Bible. Her voice was so melodic."
Benz wrote a booklet called "Gleanings," says Donavan, who recalled a couple of the inspirational thoughts Benz expressed in it: "When I get lost Lord, give me the good sense to stand still and let you find me." And, "Dear Lord, as it would please you, send me someone today I can serve."
Donavan will miss her friend's wisdom and the simple, but powerful way she prayed. She would start her prayers with: "God, it's me, Fran." When they prayed jointly, she would say: "Hello God. It's us, Chris and Fran."

Only problem is that the Bionic is a 4.3 inch screen, not a 4.5.
iPhone 4 vs. DROID BIONIC [Gallery]
Ever wonder what an iPhone 4 would look like with a monster 4.5 inch screen, a scad of ports from microUSB to HDMI, and more logos stamped on it than you could shake LTE at? Well here you go! Thanks to the phenomenal Phil Nickinson of Android Central we can now see our glass and stainless steel iPhone 4 dwarfed by the immense slab of LTE powered plastic that's the DROID BIONIC (yes, they had the technology).
There's a lot to heart about both devices and if you're on Verizon and having a tough time deciding, and the pictures below aren't enough, check out TiPb's breakdown of which one you should get and the pros and cons of each.
So Verizon faithful, which way are you leaning? Or are you waiting on iPhone 5 and Samsung Verizon Galaxy S II Facinate 4G Touch to make up your mind?

iPhone 4 vs. DROID BIONIC [Gallery]
Funny, people deride plastic as an inferior material, but on a portable device such as a phone, plastic is actually the better material, lighter and more shock resistant than steel/glass, which tends to shatter.
Even Apple knows that, after seeing iPhone 4 screens shattering 70% more than 3GS screens. IMO that's bad design right there, nice looking but not ergonomic.
Since when does metal shatter?
haha "malleable"... thats a funny word :)
its funny how the iphone looks like every other ios device
Well it is an iPhone and no the iPhone 3gs and iPhone 4 do not look alike at all. Only on manufacture makes iPhone, versus the countless android device manufactures which makes hundreds of android devices made and the majority look alike. So your comment was baseless and shows your stupidty, now go back to your fandroid site and quit trolling iphone blogs.
what caz one is square like you and the other is ipodish like? lol cmon man
It's like you take pleasure in embarrassing yourself. You start typing and it's like the only thing that ends up on your screen is human waste!
There are only so many ways to make a phone and android makers all happen to choose the same way! There is only one iPhone.
Yes, and the Bionic looks NOTHING like a Droid 1!
And YES no matter how you paint the picture the iphone's ALL look alike pretty much the same way the android devices do.. You look at a cycloptic one bottom button phone you automatically know its an i-device, rounded or square sides. or it may be an ipod touch (which ALSO looks just like the iphone) yes yes thinner and all that blather i am aware.. But nobody will ever confuse any of the i-devices for anything other than an apple product..
So your statement is without fact or point.
Good day sir.
Android phones all look alike? Moron.
The software might (it's android you idiot). The phone's themselves do not. If your reffering to the binoic looking like other Motorola devices you'd be correct. Don't make idiotic baseless sweeping statements without doing a simple google search first, thanks!
They all look alike Moron.
Its not he just did a stab at android... the only one that is like that is the epic 4g touch.
Oh and fyi to these websites that brings down other os like this u sound dumb. Not everyone comes on here to to bash android some people are looking for an os that they want and this is a turn of to apple. Same with the other os websites that bash others. What happened to information on ios... y is this bionic oven mentioned on tipb
Too bad Jaguar's cars aren't all that nice... They're a pain to maintain, and a pain to insure. Oh and I just can't get over that feeling that I'm driving something my grandfather should be driving.
Completely agree that the iPhone 4 feels great though! As well as your comments about caring for a premium device.
P.S. I drive a Mazda 3. Yup... A Mazda 3. But then again, I don't need to talk about my car to feel better about myself. :)
Did you pull anything while patting yourself on the back?
for all you geeks who just have to know the name of a device? " this is my apple ios 4g 32 gb white iphone 4" sounds long to me... get a life =p
Geek? Geek!? That's the term you use to describe someone!! Haha you are garbage! What is that you think this place is!?!? I can only imagine the shame your grade school teachers must feel. They enabled an absolute walking psychotic with extreme physical deficiencies and one specific deformity just under your left eye!
dr ...pfft!! :p sure sure. i bet you feel important
like your Jag... ios is boring.. make the phone feel and look as good as you can.. ppl might forget how boring it is. but this only affects the simple minded =p
You make this tedious comment and expect us to validate your assessement of iOS? Are you kidding me?
I can almost imagine you sitting in front of your computer within your stench filled apartment as the backdrop. A feeble, malnourished sparrow is caged just over your right shoulder. The bird is on it's side taking deep slow breaths. The gap between each breath grows faster than your increasing waistline. While the bird is still alive, it's bowels are slowly giving way. As the bowel spit seeps from the ailing bird it's almost as if you are watching it's life force slowly drip from it's body. However the only attention you pay to this atrocity is a quick inhale and as your olfactory processes the stench you chooses to mock the bird for it's overwhelming stink.
It's called mercy and humilty! Stop playing God and grow up!
what are you babbling about????
Ok all cars aside. I understand when people talk about how much they love android over ios or vice versa. But to say android is better than ios or ther other way around is silly.. I get tired of hearing die hards say this. I have owned 2 android devices.and now own an iphone4. I also happen to be a tech for verion wireless.
Having owned both types of devices and seeing on a day to day basis how much more android devices come in with issues versus the iphone i can honestly say that ios is a much more stable OS. it is also a lot smoother to use than any android device out there including the bionic. When i talk about reliable im talking about freezing screens, force closing apps, dialers that lock up and all because of the way the Android OS handles multi tasking and memory management (the whole to have or not to have task killer argument comes to mind). Where as the only issue ive seen with the iphone since VZW launched theirs in feb. is that the screen will sometimes go blank and a soft reset is the remedy.
I had both my droid devices rooted and even without htc or moto software and minus verizon software just plain old vanilla android on them, they still occasionally froze up or had me force close apps and do an occasional battery pull. None of that with iOS at all. Yes they are both good but iOS is definitely more stable. is it a little boring compared to all the the android devices can do? Sure, if your thing is to play with widgets and social network all in one shortcuts and picture frames. But the iphone's ability to manage ram and free it up as you need it even if you never close any apps out for months,( for me and im sure for a lot of other people who want reliability), in itself makes it a more stable and better functioning OS.
What it really all boils down to is your personal preference. I still think the Android OS is a good os. And then again so is Windows 7 but i like my mac and i prefer having an iphone over android. But thats me.
It feels great! I bought it used, AFTER the greatest depreciation hit! Cost was on par with the other cars in its class, and I absolutely LOVE the butt-warmers in the winter!! I highly recommend it as a good commuter car. Fit and finish is good, and its very reliable!
Thanks for the car question AJ Brimer! :)
Isn't Jaguar an Indian company now
and you drive a ? lmao wow..
Have you ever handled a Droid Bionic or a Droid X? If you did you wouldn't be knocking plastics those phones feel awesome. Also I love how you guys call iPhone 4 premium... when it isn't. There's plenty of devices that have higher specced hardware and cost more than the iPhone. I can understand if you have to tell yourself that to make yourself feel better about your purchase though.
His mom drives him around. You knew that.
I understand the concept completely.
- Overpay for a luxury or 'collectors' item car. (let me guess, your car is British Racing Green?)
- Drive around with bug-eyed designer sunglasses, cutting people off, acting like your poop doesn't stink.
- Pay several thousands of dollars more in maintenance over a five year period to sit in traffic.
- Wake up one morning and realize that while it is a European brand it will never be a GERMAN engineered vehicle.
Can you name me 5 things wrong with my Mazda? Or better yet... name me 5 things that makes me inferior to you because I drive a Mazda?
My roommate just returned his Bionic and got an iPhone4. The screen looked really pixelated. We played Angry Birds on both as our unofficial test.
Maybe that's why these comparison shots don't show the screen on? ;)
Comparing two phones on just their physical dimensions is very narrow. I think my car has roughly the same dimensions as Tony Stewart's car. His is very fast. Mine can haul groceries and has air conditioning. To each their own.
Humm, no, the analogy is not quite valid.
What you imply is that steel is a premium material, when actually it is not. It is quite heavy and it is being phased out in Premium cars, which use lighter materials and carbon fiber wherever possible. BTW, carbon fiber is bonded with plastic.
I think it's quite silly to compare an iPhone to a luxury item like a Jaguar. It's an electronic device made to last a year, maybe two. Even if nothing breaks, the battery won't last past that, and that alone excludes the iPhone from the Jag category. Premium products are made to last, if nothing else, and you as a Jaguar owner should know that better than us.
When you buy a 50K car, there is an expectation of a certain level of care. When you buy a $199 phone, the expectation should be different.

Does this mean the Bionic looks different enough to avoid 800 billion lawsuits across the globe for "stealing" Apple's rectangle with rounded corners design?
actually the droid x is a very solid device..lol..compared to alot of other android devices.. so is the bionic for that matter.. then again.. none of motorola's devices are really cheaply made. Now the sony xperia ps phone.. that is a pos. that is a cheap device. i still cant believe sony erricson delayed that thing by over a year.lol..oh yeah and the highly touted evo was a very cheaply made device as well.. and yes i have seen and held one when the spring customer that had it was switching over to verizon wireless to get a thunderbolt..lol..
Words cannot express how badly I wish the iPhone was this size. My hands are huge, and I hate the fact that the iPhone keeps getting smaller and thinner. I want a phone where I feel like I'm holding onto something. Clearly I'm in the minority on this point. I loved the size of the Droid X while I had it, but, from my perspective, it neither fit my needs nor performed as well as an iPhone. My ideal phone is an iPhone that is this size. I just fear they will continue to get smaller.
Jeez, you all realize these are just communication devices right? The rest is just personal taste. If iOS gets it done for you great. If Android floats your boat yippee. The fact that they both exist (as well as windows phone 7, etc.) is what makes the U.S. great. We have choices and that is what floats my flotilla. You all who are arguing sound like an old married couple fighting about which way the toilet paper should hang (which we all know should be over the top :?).
Everyone should just face it , if the iPhone never came out android wouldn't even be a thought , Android and iOS made everyone step up the bar and make devices as fast , sleek and as powerful as they are today. It boils down to preference , We would be stuck with windows mobile devices, palm and blackberries , good job apple and google

Around UIC
If you're looking for a top-notch education in an exciting, urban environment, you've come to the right place. UIC is situated right in the heart of many culturally rich neighborhoods, including Greektown, Pilsen, Little Italy, Chinatown and more.
The West Loop area of Chicago is also very close to UIC, and is a popular choice for many UIC students who live off campus. In a city the size of Chicago, there is a multitude of neighborhoods to choose from. And thanks to the CTA bus and el lines, most of these neighborhoods are mere minutes away from UIC.
UIC is close to a number of popular Chicago neighborhoods:
- Greektown, just north of UIC, is home to a number of popular Greek restaurants, bakeries and mini-marts.
- Pilsen, located south of UIC, is known for its large Latino community. This area features a number of authentic Mexican restaurants.
- University Village, south of UIC along Halsted, was recently revamped into a trendy, college student-oriented area.
- Little Italy, largely located along Taylor Street, features fast food restaurants. If you're looking for fine dining, bars and nightclubs, simply head west of Racine.
- Chinatown is located south of downtown, and is easily accessible via the Red Line train. It is home to about 50 restaurants covering regional cuisines from Shanghai, Cantonese, to Hunan and Sichuan.
For more information, visit the Off-Campus Housing website.

BRISBANE, Australia If you attended the post-event press conference for UFC Fight Night 33, you might have noticed the dais was a little light on fighters.
Thats because eight of them were transported to the hospital following the event, according to Tom Wright, the UFCs director of Canadian, Australian and New Zealand operations.
Not surprisingly, the list included heavyweight Antonio Silva and Mark Hunt, who fought to a bloody draw in the nights headliner. They were handsomely rewarded for their efforts, each winning a $50,000 Fight of the Night bonus as well as the win portion of their potential fight purses.
Wright said the heavyweights were sent as a precautionary measure and didnt mention any specific injury.
Light heavyweights Anthony Perosh and Ryan Bader were also sent to the hospital. Perosh took a tremendous amount of damage in the three-round fight, and Bader said he may have injured his hand doling it out.
Middleweight Dylan Andrews, who suffered what appeared to be a dislocated shoulder in a fight with Clint Hester, was also shipped, as well as Pat Barry, Nick Ring and Caio Magalhaes.
Wright joined three victorious fighters Mauricio Shogun Rua, Soa Palelei, and Justin Scoggins for the post-event presser, which concluded in a little more than 30 minutes.

Students of the Center for Innovative Learning at Pinecrest helped City of Aiken officials plant a tree in the courtyard of their school Thursday morning.
The small ceremony was to honor South Carolinas Arbor Day, held on the first Friday of December, as well as celebrate 27 consecutive years that Aiken has been awarded by Tree City USA. City Horticulturist Tom Rapp said they hope to be awarded again in January for the 28th straight time.
I think it was just so positive to have people from the City come and join us in our celebration of Arbor Day, said the centers Principal Ben Osborne. It was just great that we could celebrate a special day in a special city.
The students and faculty gathered into the courtyard where Tom Rapp discussed the importance of trees and how to properly plant one. The tree that was planted was a Royal Raindrop of the crabapple variety.
City Manager Richard Pearce and Mayor Fred Cavanaugh were at the event to help the students shovel dirt around the new tree.
Its wonderful to be here and see your fine school, the mayor told the students as he thanked them for helping with the planting. This is so important being a tree city.
The students were excited about tree planting and enjoyed being a part of the ceremony.
It was fun, said Justus Broadwater. I got to shovel. It makes the school look better.
Sharia Williams said its something shell always remember.
Its making memories of experiencing new things, Williams said.
Rapp said they plant trees on or around South Carolinas Arbor Day every year as part of being a Tree City USA which used to take place in the parkways. Rapp said he thought it would be better to go to a school each year.
I thought Why not get the kids involved? Rapp said. It makes it more special.

Comments about Apple Bottle Opener:
My poor husband often accuses me of "hiding" things from him when he is unable to find them...especially the bottle opener. This decorative piece, saves me the embarrassment of displaying a bottle opener blatantly on the kitchen counter. It compliments the fresh fruit in the bowl, blends in with my other wooden fruit pieces, or speaks eclectic next to my Gardeners Supply pear shaped fruit fly catcher.

Nate Berkus Is Engaged to Jeremiah Brent
It's a match made in the most stylish section of heaven!
Interior designers Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent have been dating for more than eight months, and Us Weekly reveals the gorgeous pair will be married. Nate's rep told the magazine the couple got engaged on Monday, April 8 atop Machu Picchu in Peru. Nate was the one to propose, and Jeremiah was completely surprised — but obviously it was a pleasant surprise!
Nate was a regular guest on Oprah Winfrey's show, and also had his own TV show; now he has a line of home goods at Target and a new book coming out. Jeremiah is a former assistant to stylist Rachel Zoe and appeared on her show, The Rachel Zoe Project.
Nate recently talked to Oprah about how his father came to accept his sexuality. He told his dad, "The truth of the matter is being gay is the way I was born. I believe this to the core of my being." Nate lost his past love, photographer Fernando Bengoechea, when the tsunami hit while they were vacationing in Sri Lanka in 2004.
Congrats to Nate and Jeremiah! No word yet on when or where they'll be married, but we wish them the best.

Downton Abbey
Downton Abbey Season 3 Spoilers: What's Coming For Lord Grantham, Thomas, O'Brien? Whose World Gets "Destroyed"?
It's almost time for U.S. viewers to catch up with Downton Abbey Season 3, which has already aired in the U.K., but will premiere January 6, 2013, on PBS.
Downton cast members teased Season 3 details during a Q&A on December 7 in Los Angeles, and Hitfix shared some exciting scoop. Here are a few of the highlights:
No money!
At the Q&A, they showed a teaser of the first 20 minutes of Season 3 premiere, and it's quickly revealed that Lord Grantham will be going broke, due to bad investments. "I think Robert met Bernie Madoff, and it all seemed like a good idea at the time," actor Hugh Bonneville joked. "But it's a great catalyst into future episodes." On that note, enter Cora's mom, played by Shirley MacLaine! "She's loaded, like all Americans," Hugh joked. "There is hope she'll bail us out. When I first read Robert's reaction to [going broke], it was quite big and very strong. But it's his destiny to hand Downton down to an heir, thus this is a huge source of shame for him… there seems to be no way out, and you'll see it doesn't get much better [in coming episodes]." Poor Robert!
Thomas vs. O'Brien
Thomas and O'Brien were a nasty dynamic duo for a long time, but don't expect them to be on the same side this season. Rob James-Collier, who plays Thomas, said his character does something "quite nasty" to O'Brien's nephew, who comes to Downton to work as a footman. After that, "It's like the Cold War all over again," Rob teases. "If there's one person in the world you don't want to piss off, that's Mrs. O'B… It gets more sinister and nasty toward the end. Someone's world gets turned upside down and destroyed, but I'm not saying whose." Interesting...
What about the "cousin"?
At the Q&A, a fan wondered if the badly burned war veteran/alleged cousin might return to the show. Executive producer Gareth Neame said no, "We'll probably not see him again."
Read the full story for more spoilers, including good news for Edith (for once), and watch the little promo below for a quick tease of the action.

Dr. Robert "Heavy" Everett was recently named the Oklahoma Superintendent of the Year. Everett is currently the Superintendent at Newcastle Public Schools.
Everett is the son of the late Bill and Tina Everett, brother to Linda & husband , Bob, Van Meter, and uncle to Shannon Van Meter of Antlers. He was raised in Antlers, where he attended and graduated from Antlers High School in 1970. He then went on to get his BS of Education from S.E. in Durant, his Masters at Central State College, and his Educational Administration Doctorate at Oklahoma University.
Everett began his 34 year career in Education as a History teacher in Minco, where he later became principle. He then went on to be an assistant principal and principal of Mustang High School. Before Everett moved to Newcastle, he spent three years at Woodward Public Schools as an assistant superintendent.
He is a current member of Cooperative Council Oklahoma School Administration, Oklahoma Association of School Administrators, American Association of School Administrators, United Suburban Schools Association and University of Oklahoma College of Education Board of Advocates. He is a member of the Board of Directors for the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce and served twice as president. He also serves as an ex-officio member of the Newcastle Education Foundation. In addition to presenting at state conferences, he is an adjunct professor at Southern Nazarene University.
One of the things that got Everett this honor, according to the Oklahoma Association of School Administrators notes, before his arrival in Newcastle, the district had never passed a bond issue for more than a million dollars. In 2009, a $50.4 million dollar bond issue was approved.
"I am honored and humbled to be selected. There is no greater honor than to be selected by one's peers," Everett was quoted saying in a news release. "We have very high expectations for our students. All of us are smarter than any of us. Collaboration is the key to success. We strive to share our common goals with the community and work together to serve the students to the best of our ability."
To be chosen as a recipient of this award, the selection committee recognizes an individual who represents strong moral values, demonstrates a successful experience in top level educational administration, inspires and motivates people, promotes personal and professional growth, and is an active participant in local, state and national professional organizations.
Everett will be recognized with the highest award presented each year to a school superintendent during the annual summer conference June 8-10 in Oklahoma City, hosted by the Cooperative Council for Oklahoma School Administration and will then go on to represent Oklahoma in the competition for National Superintendent of the Year in February 2012 during a convention in Houston, TX.

Just incase America has not been slagged enough here:
- I don't believe the UK/USA attack on Iraq was born out of overwhelming compassion for the Iraqi people. I don't believe that.
- America has awoken to the conciousness of terrorism since 9/11, however has bankrolled the 'romantic' Irish terrorism for years (and continues to do so!)
However that said, some good has been achieved by removing evil Sadaam. But a dangerous premise has been set...world powers can do as they please.
I don't blame the American people collectively for the actions of their government as there is little they can do as individuals.

Hello fellow Arkies!
As I am making plans for next year's WAT...I've got to ask a question!!
Would anyone object to doing the walk on the Arkansas side of Texarkana????
We can get many, many more sponsors and likely more participants. This is still "in the works" so if you'd like to say something, speak up, the time is red hot!
BTW, if held in Texarkana, it will likely be at the Fair Grounds as they have a very nice trail (for those that remember last year's walk) and it won't be quite as long as our first walk! That's good news for the kiddos!

Monday, August 18, 2014
The Berkeley County Sheriffs deputy involved in an automobile accident last week has resigned after it was found that he was driving with a suspended license at the time of the accident.
BCSO spokesman Dan Moon confirmed Monday that Deputy Justice Jenkins, 34, of Moncks Corner, is no longer with the BCSO.
Jenkins was cited Monday, a week after a Redbank Road wreck, by the S.C. Highway Patrol for driving under suspension, according to Berkeley County records.
Jenkins never told the BCSO that his license had been suspended Aug. 4, Moon confirmed. The department does drivers license audits twice each year.
No details were immediately available about why Jenkins license was suspended.

No, those systems are a symptom of other things being wrong already e.g. not enough tanks and healers or not enough grouping early on for people to develop a community in the first place.

Well put in gereral Calm Ocean
However, I can also agree with many posters here on some topics
1) the LFG is just a tool and can work if implemented correctly (in our case, with socialization in mind, i.e. how about an LFG tool that introduces some mechanics for conversation, goal setting, time frame etc? -- i said it and trademark it : ) )
2) While it seems that 10 years are not too much, people do indeed change, the industry is more open, add to that the *evil* new generation of insta-gratification enthousiasts etc (all over-analized in other posts). It's simply an expanded audience now, that simply prefers (?) other things. no more satisfied to be niche.
3) One other aspect many people seem to voluntarily ingore, even though they probably do it themselves is this: game mechanics and structure. Yes, let's suppose we have all played the hardcore old days mmorpgs. today it seems that the games themselves are removing incentives to socialize. why? see 2) above. however, many old timers do play those new games and often find the "easy-mode" a bit convenient themselves, they just hate to admit it.
And, despite the fact that "if you don't like it, don't use it", it has been proven over and over again that people (sheeeep) always ake the path of least resistance.... its nature's way, sorry. If you don't force them to socialize, they will not (most of the time). Be that harder content or whatever.
The argument about social people already having friends is moot and stupid. They do not have friends if the game does not promote socialization, which brings us again to the point where THESE GAMES WERE AIMED AT PEOPLE WANTING TO SOCIALIZE in VIRTUAL WORLDS! and they were....... ROLE-PLAYING games! (sscreams etc). SOrry but that is the truth. And it also true that now they are not aiming at the same crowd. (See also point 5 below).
4) Important : I saw some people saying that they don't want to wait in ques and try to get groups to get things going etc, they just want to play the game.... My friends, that WAS the game (or a very big part of it). The searching, the "lost" hours, the "downtime"... FFS downtime???? are we serious? what are we? a production factory?
5) While there was a time that these games offered socialization pleasure to us nerds, and an escapade to being heroes and not mouth-breathing sludges with 5cm thick glasses, now we have a plethora of social networking tools that can take care of that, and here we are, after WoW's success, having mmos being the next single-player experence for the masses
6) Don't get me started on F2P with its 2-3 months focus time and complete @@@ (2 @@ because i grew a pair being uber in easy-peasy mmos and @ because i need a bot*cough* another player i meant, but he is a newb for healing in case things get more complicated than mashing 3 buttons 200 times per second) for creating or retaining a community.
phew, that's was it, please read and comment, sorry for typos i am in a hurry to jump from quest to quest, my exp/gold per minute is low so i cannot spend time here, soz gtg

I'd disagree the LFG ruins anything.
If something as trivial as an LFG tools 'ruins' a community, was it really a community to begin with?
LFG is a tool.
Gdemami -
It's quite simple... pre-LFG, there was a community... post-LFG there wasn't a community. Players got used to the idea of not having to interact with anyone... hence the reference to solo-MMORPGS... where the MMO part is essentially made up of nameless individuals who could just as easily be pre-programmed bots.
The problem here is that you are confusing community with groups. Groups are the assemblage of strangers for the sole purpose of completing a task. You don't know these people, you don't care to know these people, and wouldn't care if you ever met them on the street in real life. They are merely a means to an end. Not a community. Just bodies.
Community is that thing that has been long lost in MMOs ever since the advent of LFG... that vibrant life created by the player base in game... you know, the hours of dancing naked in some city while chewing the fat with fellow guildies. The not realizing that you've spent nearly 8 hours doing absolutely nothing in game but just talking with your friends. The idea of running some dungeon, not for loot, but merely for fun... an opportunity to just joke around with friends.
The game isn't anything like it used to be... it's not better... just easier. Easier at the expense community. If you didn't experience MMOs pre-LFG, you have no idea what you are missing. Sure, you can complain about having to form your own groups... but if you took the time to make friends in game, you'd have ample people for a group. I remember playing 24 hours straight just running dungeons with friends and not even realizing it. None of us needed anything from the dungeons, in fact we ran most of them naked... we just were having too much fun joking around. THAT'S COMMUNITY. What you have now is NOT.

please note that PR now dictates that new games developed are MMOs not MMORPGs. Also, with the advent of the large masses, RP is laughable at best, despised at worst... in mmoRPGs!
P.S. LotRO has good things going for it in terms of community and RP, but F2P turning to plain greed is doing what it can to ruin it

since the implemetation in other mmorpgs i was going to say YES! but after playing some mmorpgs where u dont have LFG System....meh community nowadays ruin itself.
We are no longer a server brotherhood , is every man for himself (other than friends ) not even guildmates care about others in today mmos
can i live w/o a lfg system? yes ,but i miss it if the mmorpg doesnt have it :(
its really helpfull , no1 likes to shout for 1h LF healer/tank , or even 1M
helps low lvl dungeons , so new players can experience dungeons while leveling and become better players

Spamming LFG in chat is not my idea of playing a game.
Community is not that important anyway. There is few games that you cannot find some decent people to play with. Heck, there are even good people to play with in ARPGs, and other non-MMOs.
So LFG is pretty much a must feature for me.

It's not the LFG feature that ruins the community, it's the "I don't care about you because I'll requeue after this is over" attitude.
I play MMOs becaus I like being around real life people so by default the community is important. If you want to be an isolationist in a world of others more power to you.

I think x-server LFD tool was great for wow for the 1-79 crowd (cap was 80 when it released). Back then and it is still that way even with the x-server zones, you could got 1-79 without seeing more than one or two people in each zone, so an x-server lfd tool to me is a good solution for this. No community was being formed at those times anyway. I don't think it should be in the game at release though.
I think a same server LFD tool for end game that doesn't leap you to the destination would be fine, and should be in the game at release, but with x-server LFD at endgame it's barely an MMO anymore for anyone who doesn't raid except that there are people to compete with over the 8 billion daily quests you have to grind every day.
LFD tools are great for cramming people into content, but quality > quantity.

Personally, i will hit the quit button if there is anything i don't like in my group. It is a good feature. There is no reason i should put up with anyone when i want to have fun .. and they shouldn't put up with me either.
This "community is important" cliche ... is just too vague and general. If i can meet enough people to have fun (and occasionally hit the quit button), why do i need to care if the other 10 million people i will never meet are nice or not?
Plus, i have enough RL friends & family. I am not really seeking life-long friendship in GAMES.
So it is not about being an isolationist. It is about having fun with others, and not worry about lofty ideas like "community" or "good of the human kind".

I think cross realm LFG ruins community feel, not same server LFG.
Me, I don't like either, they ruin immersion. I prefer looking for a group through chat and travelling to the dungeon on a mount.

In fact, cross realm is great. Cross game is even better. It is not like you don't know the other player is a real human being who can play other games, or log into any server.

LOL, it's not about seeking long term friendships in a game. If you just want to pay attention you a small group that's fine. I don't interact with everyone I see either but I expect people not to tuck in thier humanity when they log in. It's nice to be around pleasant people no matter where you are at the time.
It also depends in the game you play. Games where you rely more on others or where the population is small will typically have better communities. Too bad there aren't any I'm interested I right now. I may return to Vanguard though and that would be one reason why.

LFD certainly does ruin socializing.
Lets say I have a smart phone and can search up buisnesses to go to in the area. I now will have no need to ask someone where the best place to go is. I simply look it up. Convient yes, but now I will meet one less person that I would of interacted with because of it.
LFD is a huge convience tool. But it means less socializing because of it. When I play Tera/WoW/GW2 I really do not have the same level of random social contacts as I had in games like EQ and AC.
I blame a lot of this on game design. Game lets you solo to max level but puts incentives on group play. This is why games like Rift where people would run up a to a rift to help you close it and leave without saying a word. Content was not difficult and there was not really any need to communicate.
I miss old school games styles so much.

Many people forget that the whole reason they instituted this feature was because it was too difficult to find groups to run content, expecially lower level and previous patch content. People weren't running all that was available, and thus were getting bored and thus quitting.
How good of a social atmosphere does a game have with no players?
And the biggest joke is that many people who dislike this feature are the ones who had a small group of players they ran with and never cared about picking up a pug or helping a random.

What are really helpful math resources out there on the web?
Please don't only post a link but a short description of what it does and why it is helpful.
Please only one resource per answer and let the votes decide which are the best!
Proceedings of all past ICM-s can be found here: http://www.mathunion.org/ICM
The following nlab pages list some of the main resources
http://numdam.org is a collection of old issues of many mainly French math journals. http://www.mathnet.ru site has links to free old issues of most of the Russian math journals (and even some video lectures) in Russian and links to some non-free English versions. There is also an English mode of the site: http://www.mathnet.ru/index.phtml?&option_lang=eng. A smaller free depository of old issues of Polish math journals is http://matwbn.icm.edu.pl (click on the flag for English).
Max Planck maintains links to a very long list of journals, most of which are proprietary and usable only from their site, but the list is still useful because a sizeable fractions of links are also to free journals or some volumes of journals which are free, and those are mainly usable from all locations. The current URL is http://rzblx1.uni-regensburg.de/ezeit/fl.phtml?bibid=MPIMA&colors=3&lang=en¬ation=SA-SP
Many resources can be found at the sites of main world math institutes like ihes, mpim-bonn, Oberwolfach, msri, kitp, ictp, rims, ias, Steklov, Clay, crm Barcelona, Mittag-Leffler, Banff, Fields, Newton, ihp Paris
AMS keeps a long list of math societies throughout the world with links to their sites, which are often useful. One should also recommend more general AMS directory of links Math on the Web http://www.ams.org/mathweb/index.html.
edit by jc: As of May 11, 2010, the work has been completed!
This is a reference that is not yet complete, but it should be very useful when it finally does arrive:
Digital Library of Mathematical Functions (DLMF)
This will contain diagrams, tables, properties of, principal values of, and relationships between many important mathematical functions. For example, the trigonometric and other elementary functions are described, with very many formulae relating them.
The Handbook is very good; the Digital Library will be even better.
Hosts high-level maths discussions, forums have inline LaTeX rendering.
Alexandre Stefanov keeps an extensive list of free math books / lecture notes. The list is divided according to subject and updated frequently. I have found some very nice books there.
It seems this link hasn't appeared above http://www.ams.org/mathweb/index.html The resources there are too rich to describe.
While not as comprehensive as wikipedia, if you find an article on the scholarpedia on a topic, it should be the first place to look:
I don't know if this reference is of sufficient generality:
Finite Calculus: A Tutorial for Solving Nasty Sums
It is only a paper, but it describes the methods of the so-called "umbral calculus": a really useful technique to know.
Many free Mathematics e-books are available to view and/or download here.
From website: Project Euler is a series of challenging mathematical/computer programming problems that will require more than just mathematical insights to solve. Although mathematics will help you arrive at elegant and efficient methods, the use of a computer and programming skills will be required to solve most problems.
From me: I have personally found it beneficial to go through these to help work at how I think about math problems.
Resource for books is book.fi - select English from upper right.
Resource for (mostly free) papers is projecteuclid.org
http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/ caches a lot of papers that has been posted online. It often comes up within the first few search results in Google. (But you cannot view the cached documents online, since they are directly downloaded.)
All math.[institution].edu/~[professor]/ sites are great with, in of themselves, many links to the favorites of the page's professor.
The optimization community seems to prefer this specific online repository instead of the more broad one arxiv.
There are some great things here at the small but fine Clay Institute Online Library
For students (or even teachers!),the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics has lots of lectures in Advanced Math.Every year the lectures are different.Enjoy! http://www.ictp.tv/diploma/index08-09.php?activityid=MTH
People: consider http://www.digizeitschriften.de/ tons of classical papers in english...
I think it is worth to check the 39 journals collection on world class referee-ed mathwork.
One paper on Mathematische Annalen (which is the very amusing): "On the holymorphic flow with an isolated singularity", is the famous GSV, gives you an index formula...
The manifold atlas is pretty cool. I haven't spent enough time on it though... It seems like a different type of mathematical venture. Hopefully, it will inspire other similar projects. http://www.map.him.uni-bonn.de/index.php/Main_Page
A good online LaTeX equation editor: Here
Two sites created by my former wonderful A level Mathematics teacher: www.whitegroupmaths.com www.a-levelmaths.com
He has generously written tons of topic summaries, worked revision problem sets and other learning material made mostly free to us students. Felt he deserves a mention for all his efforts :) Thanx n hope u will benefit from them!
I recommend archive.org. Books from Fourier, Lagrange, Euler... old stuff.
CiteULike (by Springer), to organize in a library the titles and abstracts of one's preferred papers and books.
(From the FAQ:) CiteULike is a free service to help you to store, organise and share the scholarly papers you are reading. When you see a paper on the web that interests you, you can click one button and have it added to your personal library. CiteULike automatically extracts the citation details, so there's no need to type them in yourself. It all works from within your web browser so there's no need to install any software. Because your library is stored on the server, you can access it from any computer with an Internet connection.
Since someone mentioned The Digital Library of Mathematical Functions, we better also include The Wolfram function site: http://functions.wolfram.com/
It's really useful for special function identities - especially since they are also available in Mathematica input form that you can copy straight into your code.
Very nice Notes and Videos from the Southwest Center for Arithmetic Geometry are available here!
Topology Atlas at York University is a great site with an awesome Q&A board (it of course, was not just restricted to Topology) and has been around for years.
Quite impressive is this site:
"PlanetMath is a virtual community which aims to help make mathematical knowledge more accessible" - or how they put it: "Math for the people, by the people":
Mathematics Dictionary & Glossary for students at http://www.tuition.com.hk/mathematics/
This is a very comprehensive source of mathematical definitions.
With over 2000 terms defined, this dictionary is ideal for supporting students who are studying mathematics or related subjects. All terms in our dictionary are cross-referenced and linked for ease of use, making finding information quick and easy.
For people who are interested in prime factorization : www.mersenneforum.org
Jahrbuch Database
A sort of Mathscinet and Zentralblatt for the period 1868-1942. Most of the reviews are in German. It is interesting to read the reviews written by mathematicians like Frobenius, Hilbert, Minkowski, Hasse, E. Noether, Artin, Mittag-Leffler, Landau, Van der Waerden, ...

This is so much fun to make - hope you enjoy!
Lisa - www.tissupapers.blogspot.com
Step 1: Get your ingredients ready
Makes about 12 lollipops
- 2 cups sugar
- 2/3 cup light corn syrup
- red food coloring
- white lollipops stick - you can find them at your local craft store.
Step 2: Getting the sugar melted
While the sugar is boiling lay out your lollipop sticks onto a silicon baking mat ( I put my baking mat onto a cookie sheet to make it easier to move around and a nice hard level surface. )
Step 3: The ice water bath
Step 4: Pour and add the blood
The fun part:
With the red food coloring - squirt a few drops in to each lollipop (I would do one at a time to make it easier to work with), using one of the lollipop sticks drags the stick through some of the food coloring to get the desired look for the "blood". I add a few more drops to the blood coagulated look.
310 Kº is less than needed.
310 Cº is more than needed.
310 Fº is the right one ??
:) :) :)
an old world's inhabitant :)
Thanks!!!!! :)
Silicon baking mats work the best - If you leave near a Bed Bath and Beyond they carry Silpat. I have not tried using anything else but the silicon mat. I highly recommend getting a candy thermometer too - it will take the guess work out of knowing when the sugar gets to the right degree!!! I would love to know how they turn out and take some pictures!!!!!
Have fun !
I hope this works for you!!!!!!!!!!!! ENJOY!
It makes all the difference.
Great idea lancmaltby!
it did the job very well and gave the loly pop a very very cool ,unic and powrful tast and bloody natural colore
Did you use any flavoring?
First time it wouldn't set and the second time I burned the sugar stuff
I wanted to make some clear suckers for Halloween, but I couldn't think of anything good to put in them but like candy corn.
Well done.

Karen, your underwater painting is coming along wonderfully. The work you've done on the background turned out well and I agree with Jen's comments. Love the light on the fish and their vivid colours.
Jen, lovely painting of the children on the beach. I especially like the girls hair and outfit and the colour on the boy. I hope you have a good holiday with your grandchildren and maybe you will find some inspiration for another painting.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Sarah, your seaside village en-fete looks like an entertaining party. I don't know how you can get so much detail into a painting and have it looks very natural. I agree with Charlie, the buildings are well done. I really like the strings of flags (not sure what you call them) they add a real festive look to the painting.
Jen the children at the beach turned out great. Hope you have a great visit with the Grands.
Sarah another great seaside scene. I agree with Bonniethe flags make it very festive.
Im calling the fish done.
C&Cs always welcome
Karen, this painting of the fish is lovely. The colors are just beautiful and the background fades away in a most convincing manner.
Jen, your painting of the children at the shore looks like one I would buy at an art show - it is so evocative of childhood!
Sarah, this is a wonderful painting of the village en-fete. Very, very charming.
Comments and critiques are welcomed and appreciated.
Karen, your fish painting is great. I love the colours and how they take center stage. They have a nice shape as well. Nicely done.
Sarah, such a typical seaside scene from across the pond. Nicely done. I reminds me of Charles and Diana's wedding when the whole country was swathed in flags and celebrations.
karen, love the fish, the painting turned out so well and the main character is such fun. You did such a great job of keeping the bg back and putting Mr. Sharpnose in front!
Thank you for the comments on the children. They were fun to do. I will get back to the fish one I began but couldn't get into. However Karen has set the bar high! Arrived at the grands okay will check in from time to time. Have fun painting!
Jen C & C's always welcome
Karen, beautiful work! Love the colors.
Charlie Gunn
C&C welcomed
http://www.facebook.com/CharlieGunnArtist My Art Work
Thanks Bonnie...flags draped like that are called Bunting.
Jen thank you too...
I watched the royal wedding on TV but I thought they were making a big mistake at the time.. I was in Greece when she died so missed all the maudling sentiment...NOT ALL OF US (as the news reporters said/wrote) thought she was wonderful. Sorry to express my opinion..not the place.to do it especially as I am all in favour of the Monarchy!!!!
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Thank you Sarah, that is the word I was looking for. I heard it on a British show, so knew they had a specific name.
Jen ~ nice little seaside scene with the children! It's soft & thoughtful. Have a good visit with the Grands!
Karen ~ You did a great & eye catching painting of the fish. I esp. love the Lemonfish! Beautiful yellows.
Sarah ~ Your wc seascapes are always a pleasure to look at. And the garden snake doesn't bother me a bit! The only time I almost passed out was when an eight foot long milk snake caught me by surprise! It was lying along the concrete wall on the back porch & I didn't see it until it (she) wriggled away, revealing a bunch of her baby offspring!!!!
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Last leap after a long journey...
evening light so quite dark strong colour. A4 slightly cropped. HP paper.
Sarah, the evening light, with its more saturated colors, is beautiful in this painting, as is your depiction of the water and the silvery scales of the fish. Plus, you've captured the movement and three-dimensionality. A lovely painting.
Sarah, your fish is very well done! I also like the waterfall.
Sarah, great painting. The rock ledge and the sparkling water are nicely done and perfect shape of the fish. I like the title.
Hello to Alex, Charlie and Bonnie...it's 80F here already 8-30 am.
thank you one and all for your kind comments. I wanted to give the salmon a slight twist but decided it was too tired after its journey!
I like the new you Alex....the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree... recent photo? mine was taken last year, doesn't time fly.
