MMO's are a dying genre. What you think WoW's now 9-million sub is just because the game is old? Wrong, the Genre is old.

That's like saying video games are going out of style. MMOs are just video games with more people. What's old is the subscription plans that have lasted the last 10 years. The models are changing, but MMOs aren't going anywhere.

I was planning on subscribing to Tera in the not-so-distant future to try out the new "True Action Combat" system which a lot of people seem to praise and the graphics look pretty as well.
But I guess I should wait a little before subscribing to this game since it's already laying off a pretty large % of it's total employees so soon after their launch. As many others... I guess it'll go F2P and the fact about the dispute of Bluehole Studio's stealing NC's Lineage 3 code(true or not to be true, dunno, a settlement has been agreed on so I consider it to be true) kinda keep me off the bay for now.
It's always sad to to hear how companies "toss" people away in the gaming business if a certain game doesn't meet their (sometimes very, very high) expectations, but guess that's how it goes there.

TERA is one of the most aesthetically beautiful mmorpg games I have played recently. Not to mention, the fun true action combat it offered. However, I got to max level within the first month of it's launch and there was not much to do. It was a well made game if you don't mind the grind at higher levels (quest grind / mob grind) and the dungeon death runs. The game ultimately failed due to the fact that it didn't have much to offer at higher levels. There was nothing to do but grind the same few dungeons repeatedly for gear drops to enchant your own gear.
For players who don't care for the latest high-end enchanted gear, there was aboslutely nothing to do. Even if I were interested in going for the best enchanted gear, the % chance of success was really ridiculous (another time sink). The game just wasn't fun at that point and there was nothing else to do but kill and farm level 50-55 BAMs for their drops.
I've been waiting for the battlegrounds and hopefully, I'll check it out when it launches.

I betaed Tera. What I played initially wasn't that bad. Unfortunately, when the game went live, it suffered from major issues that affected gameplay in negative ways. Some of the issues I encountered were graphics related, control issues, and even the game client crashing due to memory issues.
The game suffers from major failed optimization in all aspects. if they would fix that glaring issue, it would be better. Although, considering this most recent batch of news from EnMasse, I would not be surprised if the game went Free-To-Play.

TERA is still much better than Star Wars The Old Republic. when I played SWTOR I was the only person standing on Hoth looking for a team. I play Tera regualrry on the Dragonfall Server and we can still get a good group together.. Every game is a hit when it is released and you usually have to wait to get onto a server but after a few months all games cool off until new Stuff is added to the game.. On August 22 2012 there is a major update for TERA. This date can change but it is mainly for the level 60 people.

This is what happen when you get your gear in a loot istead of making one, loot and crafting is what I don't like in tera.
Raiderz is my favorite.

Saw it coming. The battle system wasn't half bad (not as good as I'd hoped it would be as a caster, but not bad) but the actual gameplay was just terrible. I would have rathered they spend less time on the graphics and make the game itself interesting and immersive, rather than just one giant grind. Grinding BAMs nonstop to cap isn't much more fun than grinding KTX quests to cap, just to grind raids for gear. Blah. The only thing worse than a huge waste of time is being ~aware~ that what you're doing is a waste of time.
But don't cry for them, they'll be just fine. The models, the textures, the animations, the programming...basically everything that went into the game besides the actual design is high quality and will look superb on a resume. Now the people that wrote and designed the gameplay...eh...

Had it been buy 2 play only it would have been quite big I think. I tried the beta and had a lot of fun but I wasn't prepared to buy it and have to sub so I thought 'oh well I'll wait for it to go free 2 play'. In the end En Masse get nothing out of me. If it had been buy 2 play I would have snapped it up without thought. Even if I played for one month it would have been money well spent and I wouldn't have felt shut out of my purchase for not subbing. Buy 2 sub is a dead model and no longer works because we all have more than one MMO we are actively playing and the vast majority of us aren't prepared to sub to more than one game. GW2 will change that. Anyone currently making an MMO needs to adapt now or die.
The model needs to be sell as many copies as possible at launch to recoup dev costs and profit, then have microtransactions to keep servers running and make a modest ongoing profit + paid expansions for more profit. It's not much different to how most games work these days with game + DLC.
MMOs also need to scale better, seperate servers/worlds suffer because the player base is split and during low "season" the world feels empty. A dynamic system would be much better where we have one world and multiple instances of that world to control population and ability to move instances to play with friends/guild mates. Although multiple worlds are needs in GW2 for WvWvW they can merge PvE worlds if need because names are unique across all worlds.

Tera is a bad game, let's be honest with ourselves. At first glance it seems really nice, but there are far to many issues or rather the game is very shallow to overlook that. The combat was the selling point and when the allure of combat wears off then what did you have in game? Not much of anything. Other's can tell you better on what Tera is lacking and anyone not seeing it go F2P is really not looking at the bigger picture. At this juncture it's the only viable option.
Also you bashing GW2 to go on and say Arch Age is goign to be the be all end all isn't that kind of like the same thing?

Thank You. Valid points are made. I keep wondering why people pretend this is not happending. Heck even people knew TOR was going to go F2P. Tera is Aion and vice versa and it will go F2P as well. It's the only avenue it can take. Tera is a bad game, granted it's okay if you want to play it but stand outside and look objectively at it and you will see that it indeed is bad. It could be worked on yes...it could be expanded on and the devs might see the light..yes...who knows maybe a slew of people will suddenly wake up and realize how great this game is. However that is not what will happen.
So I agree 100% with your post but I do see why people are angry about it. Kind of reminds me of FF14...they had to pretty much fire the entire staff, employ new ones and redo the game from the ground up. Look how long that's taken them. I don't see Tera moving in that direction so no I could not give them the same credibility. Heck I even bought the game..played for what 1-2 weeks and in some of the Betas. Got my mystic to around 25-30 and just one day while I was logged in couldnt' do it any more. Game is just shallow. Coupled with the fact that you have the pvp players waiting right outside a safe zone to just kill you while your going past them..stuff gets annoying.
Loosing a job however sucks and hopefully these guys find a better place to work as we can all hope. The game however I'm sorry is garbage. (My Opinion of Course)

Tera vs GW2. so if Tera goes F2P and you still have to buy somet things, and GW2 is B2P and you don'treally have to buy anything and the game plays better I don't see people sticking with Tera..actually even if they did B2P I don't think people would stick with Tera. It really isn't that good. I can even admit when I bought a crap game..."Damnation" anyone...(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnation_%28video_game%29)

Students should notice West Virginia's ambitious new plan to target child hunger while improving academic performance when they arrive this fall.
Expanding access to breakfast is likely the first component of the Feed to Achieve Act that will emerge following its signing by Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin earlier this month, said Richard Goff, executive director of the Office of Child Nutrition at the state Department of Education.
"The game changer for our program and for the kids in West Virginia is the breakfast delivery strategy," said Goff, a 23-year veteran of the department. "For the first time in my tenure, it makes the meal program part of the educational day. It's not an interruption. That's where we'll see the big change."

Mill Creek has been a wonderful place for my family to live. It is a smaller, peaceful community where the management takes a vested interest in the residents and is very proactive when it comes to hosting events that makes one feel welcome. Any concerns we have had regarding maintenance/noise issues (rare) have been addressed in an expeditious manner. The view of the water is serene, Buckroe Beach is a 5 minute walk, and it is easily the best apt deal for sq. footage in the area. Great overall!
Dirk K.
Beautiful location. Large private deck overlooking the water. Quiet community. Fishing and crabbing on site.
Anytime we've had an issue with our apartment, it's easy to submit a work request form via the community website, AND our maintenance worker is prompt to remedy the situation.
Friendly apartment manager :o)
Katrina C.
The apartments are in a beautiful setting. The grounds and buildings are immaculate. The staff is willing to help as quickly as possible.
I love the managment at this complex; they are very professional and quick to respond when something goes wrong.
When the weather is bad the siding blows off and onto some of the cars; and could easily hit someone that might be walking into the building. I also think that the exterior could be updated to look more modern.
It is true that we get quite a bit of wind from time to time as we are situated on the water and storms do tend to be more intense in our location. We do address the siding issues as quickly as possible until resolved. Our exterior matches our charming location on the Chesapeake Bay and our community relfects our environment nicely. Thank you for your feedback and we very much appreciate you and all of our residents!

The jade bi disc is a flat jade disc with a hole in the center. It has a long history in China which can date back to the Neolithic period (~ 10000 b.c. to 2000 b.c.). The original pieces are scanty and not decorated at all. Later, the pieces are decorated with various carvings, such as waves, characters, mythical animals, etc.
The origin and original purpose of bi disc are unknown. But later it was regarded as the symbol of status and power. It was also one of the most important things for funerals as it was believed that the dead were only able to get the connection between the earth and the sky with the help of bi disc. It was recorded that during a period of time, the inferior had to hand over the winner his Bi as the sign of the submission.
Originally, it was widely believed that the circular shape was a reference to heaven. With time goes on, bi discs were later appreciated more as an expression of antiquarian tastes than for there associations with the cosmos. They were also used as ornaments and gifts which represented love and fondness.

We're not fashion experts, but the dress above looks more like a curtain from IKEA than a designer garment we'd buy from Bloomingdales in Los Angeles, where MTV reality star Lauren Conrad presented her Fall 2008 Collection yesterday. Apparently, she's pressing on despite the fact that her clothes have been on sales racks lately and that high-end L.A. boutique Kitson dropped her last month.
Look at the photos of her new collection below. Does The Lauren Conrad Collection stand a chance?

I didnt start playing chess until I was almost 30, then fell in love with the game. I played a few Tourneys won some was on my way to becoming a GM, then work got in the way (-smile-) Took a few years off and now I am back at it again. I am a fan of Paul Keres (Class Act), David Bronstein (Chess Genius), Emory Tate (I saw him play in the Chicago Open years ago and it was a tactical clinic and the GMs had their notepads out) and Vishy Anand (Consumate Professional Chess Player).
I am horrible at blitz but I still like to play. For slow games, I play all of my games over the board with a 2/40 time control and then 1 hour for remaining moves. I will always add 3mins for my opponents moves. This makes it feel like an over the board game for me. So I usually dont play more then 5 games at a time, in case I decline your offer. Thanks for the game and take care.

LOS ANGELES -- Americans who watch the most video online tend to watch less TV.
The finding released by The Nielsen Co. on Wednesday overturns a longstanding belief that people who watch more programming do so over all devices.
The ratings agency also found surprising differences based on the ethnicity of audiences.
African-Americans watched the most on TV and over mobile devices, while Asians watched the least TV and the most online video.
Hispanics were the most likely to have a smartphone, at 53 percent, followed by Asians at 48 percent, African-Americans at 39 percent and whites at 30 percent.
Overall, TV viewing crept up by 0.2 percent to 158 hours and 47 minutes a month, while video watching on the Internet jumped 35 percent to 4 hours and 33 minutes per month.

County DSS to partner with 2-1-1
When making a report of child or adult abuse or neglect, it has been customary to call 911 during any hour.
On Aug. 5, that will change as the Rutherford County Department of Social Services (DSS) will begin partnering with NC 2-1-1 to provide after-hours answering services.
John Carroll, Rutherford County DSS director, said 2-1-1 will accept calls for child and adult protective services after regular business hours as well as anytime DSS is closed, such as times of inclement weather, power outages or holidays. He said the calls to 2-1-1 will be referred to a DSS after-hours staff person.
The primary reason for the partnership, Carroll said, is to free up county 911 resources.
"Primarily, our reason is they can provide a service for us and it frees up 911 to deal with emergencies and not have to deal with other things," Carroll said.
In March, the county announced it was becoming a part of the United Way of Asheville/Bumcombe County Call Center for 2-1-1.
The service helps connect people with needed services including food, housing and utilities, education programs, financial education and counseling, access to child care, job training, support groups, mental health and substance abuse, senior services and disaster services.
"Although 911 is for emergencies like police, fire and ambulance and 2-1-1 is for community resources like child protective services, both systems are part of a partnership to ensure that people get the right help when they need it most, regardless of what number they dial," said Rachael Nygaard, director at NC 2-1-1's Asheville Center, in a press release.
The partnership with DSS is included in the cost already being paid to 2-1-1. That cost is shared among several agencies in the county such as United Way of Rutherford County, Isothermal Planning and Development and the Rutherford/Polk/McDowell Health Department. Carroll said DSS pays $8,476 of the $16,000. He said DSS will receive "at least half" of the costs through a reimbursement from the state.
"Having 2-1-1 do our calls, we will get more bang for our buck," Carroll said.
He said 2-1-1 will also generate reports indicating response times of DSS staff and will transfer calls to on-call staff's cell phones.
State law requires DSS be available to accept protective services reports 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Carroll said that service is currently provided through the 911 Communications Center.
"There will be a learning curve as we educate our consumers and community members that they will now call 2-1-1 when they need to make contact," Carroll said. "Both agencies will work closely with the 911 Communications Center to evaluate this system and maintain protocols to ensure calls are not missed and that they are routed to the appropriate place."
Carroll said that includes working with on-call staff with DSS.
"We have an on-call team of two workers that do nothing but on-call and the operators will be familiar with them and vice-versa," Carroll said.

The New Olympics: The 3-peat or 4-peat or 5-peat!
The golden girls of beach volleyball did it! The women's soccer team did it! The greatest Olympian of all-time did it! If you don't know his name then you weren't paying attention so stop reading this sports article! Usain Bolt might do it in two events if he comes backs to the next Olympics in Rio. The women's basketball team if they win gold will do it for a fourth time!
Now I know people want to change the rules in some of the events next year to put an age limit on them. Remind me again but I thought the point of the games was to let the best athletes in the world compete? Whats wrong with the way things are?
As a sports fan I've enjoy every minute of these games watching the best professional's breaking records and setting new one's. In ancient Olympic times the games were a tribute to mythological gods. Whats wrong with athletes repeating three, four, or five times and becoming real gods? It's good for ratings right!

DNR Fisheries Service Holds Public Meeting on AEZs
Chesapeake Beach, MD –The Maryland Department of Natural Resources
(DNR) Fisheries Service will hold a public meeting Monday June 22, 2009, at the
Northeast Community Center to discuss the possibility of establishing new
aquaculture enterprise zones (AEZs), which are areas of the Chesapeake Bay
approved for raising of aquatic animals. At the meeting, DNR representatives
will discuss the role of AEZs and start public discussion over the newly
proposed sites.
A new bill introduced in the 2009 session of the Maryland General Assembly requires the Department to establish the zones. Tonight's meeting will discuss the possibility of establishing new AEZs in the Patuxent, West and Rhode Rivers.
"AEZs are essential for promoting the growth of Maryland's aquaculture industry," said DNR Fisheries Director Tom O'Connell. "Having these areas approved early will allow for a streamlined lease process that will get projects into the water more quickly."
The meeting will be held in Room C at the Northeast Community Center located at 4075 Gordon Stinnett Ave., Chesapeake Beach, MD 20732. Those who cannot attend may view maps of the sites and submit their comments at http://www.dnr.state.md.us/fisheries/regulations/draftregulations.htm. Comments will also being accepted by fax at 410-260-8310 or by mail to Fisheries Public Feedback, Maryland Department of Natural Resources, 580 Taylor Ave., B-2, Annapolis, MD 21401. All comments are due back to the Department by June 28, 2009.

With growing talk on the Street that Apple is cutting production and/or reducing component orders for the iPhone 5, the Street is dumping shares of a host of companies that provides parts to Apple products.
As long as you actually believe those reports – and there is always risk in relying on "supply checks" from secret sources in Taiwan – then the behavior seems logical.
Here's a look at some of the stock's affected by the Apple supplier sell-off:
- Broadcom is down $1.41, or 4.2%, to $31.86.
- Qualcomm is down $2.92, or 4.7%, to $59.84.
- Cirrus is down $1.73, or 6.3%, to $25.68.
- TriQuint is down 21 cents, or 4.3%, to $4.63.
- Skyworks is down $1.68, or 8%, to $19.37.
- OmniVision is down 30 cents, or 2.1%, to $13.95.
- Avago is down $1.39, or 4.1%, to $32.31.
Update: Bernstein Research analyst Stacy Rasgon thinks that when it comes to Qualcomm shares, the reaction today is seriously overdone. He says that the loss of 1 million iPhone shipments would hit the chip company's EPS by $0.0015, or about a sixth of a cent. The licensing impact would ding results by another 4 tenths of a penny. That brings the total impact to Qualcomm's earnings from every 1 million unit reduction in iPhone shipments to 6 tenths of a cent. And he adds that this assumes fewer overall sales; if this reflects share shift, the company would get some of that back via revenue from other customers.

NC State to lead new research institute
President Barack Obama is expected to announce today that a group of businesses and universities, led by N.C. State University, has been selected to lead a manufacturing institute focused on next-generation power electronics.
According to a news release from the White House Office of the Press Secretary, the president proposed creating the institutes during his State of the Union address last year. In May, he launched a competition for the selection of the three new institutes with a $200 million federal funding commitment from five federal agencies.
The institutes are expected to help bridge the gap between applied research and product development by bringing companies, universities, agencies and others together to invest in technology that encourages investment and production in the United States.
The institute to be led by N.C. State will focus on making wide bandgap semi-conductor technologies cost-competitive with current, silicon-based power electronics. According to the release, wide bandgap semiconductors can operate at higher temperatures and have greater durability and reliability at higher voltages and frequencies, allowing for better performance while using less electricity.
The technologies would power electronic devices such as motors, consumer electronics and devices to make them faster, smaller and more efficient.
The Raleigh-based institute is expected to provide shared facilities, equipment, and testing and modeling capabilities to companies, particularly to small and medium-sized manufacturers, to help invent, design and manufacture new semiconductor chips and devices.
It's also expected to allow for the pairing of chip designers and manufacturers with large power electronic manufacturers and supplier to help bring technologies to market faster.
The U.S. Department of Energy is awarding $70 million across five years for the institute. That has to be matched by at least $70 million in non-federal commitments.
The institute includes the state of North Carolina and 18 companies including Durham-based Cree. The president's schedule today includes a tour at a Research Triangle Park-based research and development office of Vacon Inc. and a speech at N.C. State.

How did the Roman world develop from a small number of people living on the banks of the Tiber to an empire encompassing some sixty-four million people spread from one end of the Mediterranean to the other? How did the Romans themselves understand this development, and did that understanding evolve over time? Incorporating contributions from economics, archaeology, anthropology, and literary criticism, David Potter's thought-provoking and accessible text shows students how Roman history works.

MiR Pro Weighted Vests is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Dylyn Vorreiter from Makes a boy into a man! This vest is a beast! Extremely durable and well made. I purchased the 50lb option and it is more than enough weight! Mostly use it for trail running with 20-30lbs. When running in is a reasonable comfortable, doesnt hurt shoulders, it does bounce a little bit though. I think it is great having the 3lb weights so it is fully adjustable, makes it very versatile. Only con is the straps are a bit confusing

The Joshua community continues to show their support for Makenzie Wethington, the Joshua High School student who was seriously injured during a skydiving accident in January when her parachute malfunctioned.
On March 29, Self Storage Solutions will host an auction to raise money for the Wethington family to help cover medical expenses.
Manager Joseph Sidawi organized the auction and said he wanted to get involved because "it's the right thing to do."
"She doesn't have health insurance," Sidawi said. "She's had it hard, and we want to help her every bit we can. She's received a lot of criticism, but the only thing that matters is that this girl is alive and well. She needs her community to stand behind her."
So far, Sidawi said that he has been able to fill one 10-foot by 15-foot storage unit with community donations, including furniture, tools, electronics, outdoor equipment and much more. He's continuing to take donations with the hopes to fill a second unit.
"This has proven to be a very good fundraiser in the past," Sidawi said. "The last one we had raised about $700 for Meals on Wheels. We have a really good community here in Joshua. Everyone sticks together."
Sidawi said he hopes to also raise at least $700 for Makenzie.
In addition to the upcoming auction, Caddo Grove Masonic Lodge No. 352 is holding a raffle for a .22-caliber Henry rifle from Chisholm Trail Firearms of Burleson.
The rifle will be on display during the auction, and tickets are available for purchase from the Masonic lodge or at Self Storage Solutions. Tickets are $5 each or five for $20.
Ticket sales have already raised $1,300, and the Masonic Charity Foundation said that if $1,500 is raised they will match the contribution, Sidawi said.
Drawing for the Henry rifle will take place June 14 during the annual Masons barbecue at Mountain Valley Country Club.
The auction will begin at 10 a.m. at Self Storage Solutions, 2032 W. FM 917 in Joshua. Residents are asked to arrive at 9 a.m.
Proceeds from both the auction and the raffle will go directly to the Wethington family. For information, call 817-558-4700.

Memphis might lag behind other cities when it comes to developing and connecting green spaces, but a collaboration of organizations is working to improve this community's "greenprint," or its collection of parks, trails and other natural areas, and then link them to regional and national green spaces.
Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division is poised to pay several hundred thousand dollars in legal fees incurred by its former president and CEO Joseph Lee over the past year.
Yet that decision to pick up the tab for Lee's attorneys has evolved considerably over the course of a year, ever since Lee became the subject of a federal indictment in the early summer of 2007. Its evolution saw MLGW change, re-think or clarify its position on Lee's legal fees at least four times.
With a federal corruption case pending against him, Joseph Lee walked into the office of Kendall Investigations in Knoxville and met with former FBI special agent Kendall Shull. It was Oct. 16, 2007, and Lee – the former president and CEO of Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division – was there in an effort to clear his name. He had traveled to Knoxville to take a polygraph test at Shull's office. Lee's attorney, Robert Spence, said this week he had planned to somehow publicize the results of the polygraph – which Lee passed – to defend his client against federal bribery charges.
The federal corruption cases involving former City Council member Edmund Ford have taken an unusual path through three grand jury reviews in a year's time.
In that time, Ford picked up a second set of corruption charges and a codefendant, former Memphis Light, Gas & Water Division president Joseph Lee.

U.S. District Judge Hardy Mays Friday set a May 12 trial date for former City Council member Edmund Ford on corruption charges. But prosecutors and defense attorneys will try later to agree on a trial date for separate corruption charges involving Ford and former Memphis Light, Gas & Water Division president Joseph Lee.
U.S. District Judge Hardy Mays today set a May 12 trial date for former City Council member Edmund Ford on corruption charges. But prosecutors and defense attorneys will try later to agree on a trial date for separate corruption charges involving Ford and former Memphis Light, Gas & Water Division president Joseph Lee.
Within the past few days, each side in the pending federal corruption case against former Memphis Light, Gas & Water Division president Joseph Lee has considerably upped the ante.
First, prosecutors altered their trial strategy in a major way, returning to the grand jury to procure separate indictments Jan. 7 against Lee and his original co-defendant, former Memphis City Councilmember Edmund Ford. They did so to satisfy a federal judge's ruling last month asserting that bribery and corruption charges against both men had been improperly combined into one 11-count indictment.
Memphians cracked open their checkbooks and whipped out their wallets, shelling out more than $320,000 on presidential candidates in the third quarter, according to reports filed this week with the Federal Election Commission.
The legal team representing former Memphis Light, Gas & Water Division head Joseph Lee in his federal bribery case has fired another salvo in defense of their client.
They want Lee and City Council member Edmund Ford to be tried separately.
The newest corruption charges against Memphis City Council member Edmund Ford include not only a new codefendant, former Memphis Light Gas & Water (MLGW) President Joseph Lee. They also include a case that appears to be built in large part on Ford's public record as an elected official.

SIZZLER: SNL Cast Shrinks By Three
A source at Saturday Night Live has divulged which cast members won't be appearing on the 32nd season premiere next month. Staple players Horatio Sanz and Chris Parnell, and the relatively new Kenan Thompson are the three people likely to be axed. The source also claims Amy Poehler will step down as Weekend Update anchor, and will be replaced by writer/performer Jason Sudeikis. Considering that Tina Fey and Rachel Dratch have also left the show to work on the new sit-com 30 Rock, it looks like we're going to be treated with an entire new dynamic — one that will hopefully work.
But what will become of our beloved cut players? Both the beloved Parnell and shticky Sanz have some movie projects lined up, some of which seem promising. No, we're most worried about Kenan. Having just completed a small part in a hilarious box office fizzler about reptiles on aircrafts (we can't bring ourselves to say the name anymore), the only other project he's got lined up is in a movie called Wieners. We're going to back away slowly while you slowly realize that poor Kenan has probably reached his peak. Thanks for nothing, All That.

10 Ways Tom Cruise Can Commit Creative Suicide
In the severance heard round the world, Paramount has cut its contract to veteran actor/placenta eater Tom Cruise. Says Viacom chief Sumner Redstone, "It's nothing to do with his acting ability, he's a terrific actor… but we don't think that someone who effectuates creative suicide and costs the company revenue should be on the lot."
Which got us to thinking: If Tom Cruise were in fact to commit creative suicide, he would definitely go out with a bang — one shot out of a ruby-encrusted air cannon, surely. Here are some other ways Tom Cruise could commit suicide creatively:
- He could hangglide off of the roof of the Scientology Celebrity Center and into the mouth of an active volcano
- He could swallow one end of the e-meter, put the other end up his rear, and run a charge through it.
- He could leave some shrimp out in the sun for a few weeks, then eat it.
- He could do his own stunts in Faces of Death 7.
- He could wait 16 years until Suri is old enough to drive, then steer her into oncoming traffic until a tractor trailer slams into the passenger side.
- He could take a single vitamin.
- He could go swimming off the coast of Ethiopia and get slayed by pirates.
- He could do tragically badly on Celebrity Fear Factor.
- He could buy a horse and ride it off the edge of the Grand Canyon.
- He could get lost in the deadened gaze of wife Katie Holmes, never finding his way out and suffocating to death.
Seems like the last one is the most likely. Any other ideas for Tom Cruise's creative suicide?

SIZZLER: Team Firecrotch Forms Evil Lair
The latest report from Hollyweird is that Brandon Davis has moved in with Paris Hilton, leaving them approximately one Joe Francis short of forming an Algonquin roundtable of retardation more powerful than anything the world has ever known. Even briefly dipping one's toe into the pool of moronic possibility this unholy union creates, the mind is immediately left reeling. All their boozing, whoring and sweating (looking at you, Brandon) aside, just imagine what something as mundane as dinnertable banter might sound like in this B-list brothel:
Bradon: Lindsay Lohan has a firecrotch.
Paris: That's hot.
Brandon: Firecrotch.
Paris: Hot.
And on and on for all of eternity. Somebody might as well go ahead and add this odd couple to the list of 10,000 Reasons Civilization Is Doomed.
EXCLUSIVE: Nick & Jessica's Awkard Moment!
Other than the bright future of K-Fed's rap career (so bright, he has to wear FUBU shades), the big story from this week's Teen Choice Awards was speculation about what would happen if no-longer-weds Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson ran into each other at the show, thus creating a vortex of tabloid-fantasy awkwardness. After receiving a tip that they did in fact share a brief exchange, our crack team of hard-hitting newspeople has been pounding the pavement to find footage of the encounter, and after much difficulty (and a couple of casualties), we have victoriously obtained this exclusive clip of the post-breakup run-in the world has been waiting to see!
ICYMI: Idiot Killed the Video Site
Inexplicably ignoring their own rules prohibiting pornography, YouTube has allowed Paris Hilton to post the following video clip (Internet videos are her best medium), in which which she tries rather desperately to string together enough complete sentences to form a semi-coherent "buy my album" plea to all the teenage girls who tape themselves doing booty-dances to Chingy songs they later post on the video site. Behold the power of the internet, harnessed and manifest in the form of a poorly filmed plug from a spoiled pseudo-celeb shamelessly trying to pimp her joke of a music career! Of course, we're only helping her…

While You Were Cleaning the Junk from Your Trunk…
- An ad depicting Britney Spears completely naked and overly pregnant was deemed too "stimulating" for the Tokyo metro. Funny, that's the same excuse Kevin Federline gives Britney when she's in the mood… "Sorry, babe, you're just too… stimulating."
- Superman is engaged! Thank you, Brandon Routh, for finally being brave enough to speak out about wax figures getting married. Tell the government to go to hell with all their "laws."
- Saturday Night Live's Lorne Michaels will be cutting 4 people from the late night roster. Unless one of them drops dead from a drug overdose or freak accident, then he'll only cut 3.
- Over 100 theatergoers walked out on Meryl Streep and Kevin Kline's performance of Bertolt Brecht in Central Park yesterday, citing the play "too boring." As a result, Streep and Kline plan to spice things up next year, with a hot performance of "Sesame Street Live!"
- Hollywood prettyboy Jesse Metcalfe has insulted British men, criticizing their poor grooming habits and laziness. Why so defensive, Jesse? Maybe because deep down inside, you're British after all?

The following criteria apply to students registered for GEO 497 and superivised by Professor Bertolas.
Return to
Internship in Geography main page
1. You must be properly registered in GEO 497 for 3-6 credits.
Regardless of the number of credit hours, the Internship requires a minimum of 250 contact hours, subject to scheduling by the host agency. Interns are responsible for their own transportation, housing, and incidental expenses, plus the appropriate tuition and fees. The host agency will establish the expected mode of dress and decorum and students failing to adhere to those standards may have their internship canceled or modified by the host agency or Dr. Bertolas.
2. The Intern's WSC GEO 497 grade is based on ALL of the following: Journal, Evaluation, Paper.
A. Journal:
A hand written or typed record of daily activities; may be in the form of a dated notebook. However, interns are reminded to adhere to the agency standards of confidentiality. If in doubt about what you are including, ask the agency supervisor.
B. Evaluation:
The intern will be evaluated via the agency's own performance evaluation form or by use of the
WSC Geography Internship Evaluation Form
, available from Dr. Bertolas. Evaluation is done at the completion of the internship, signed by the supervisor of the internship, and returned to Dr. Bertolas.
C. Paper:
This paper describes the mission and organizational structure of the agency, details the intern's responsibilities, and explains what projects and activities the intern worked on (while still respecting confidentiality) as well as the benefits of the internship to the intern. The paper will be approximately 10-20 pages, typed, and include examples of work included as appropriate. The paper is due within two weeks of the end of the internship.
3. Pay and benefits:
Not all private sector internships are paid positions, and public sector internships often are unpaid or paid at a training wage level. Any pay and benefits for interns are negotiated items between the intern and the host agency. Interns are responsible for properly reporting their income on their taxes.
4. Confidentiality:
Interns are expected to adhere to the host agency standards of confidentiality, including in the journal and paper.
5. Communication:
Interns are required to keep Dr. Bertolas informed of their whereabouts, provide a contact telephone number, and supply any changes of address or assignment. Problems, if they arise, should be dealt with by the host agency supervisor or, if appropriate, Dr. Bertolas. Students are advised to familiarize themselves with the workplace rules and norms, and with the WSC Student Handbook.
