I prefer to pay a subscription and get everything in the game with no CS at all like FFFR. I dislike even the GW2 (great game though) CS where I don't have access to everything simply through GP. (I realize this is a debated point of view, but I guess that's what I'm doing. I want to pay for access and get the whole show, not be Nickle and dimed along the way.

Totally agree with you. As long a a game has a steady flow of new quality challenging content. Only thing I don't get about subs is why $15 is still the standard. It was the standard in the late 90's and on. With modern technology wouldn't something like $6 make more sence and be more appealing to a bigger audience of people

We love GW2 and we will continue to play this game for many years because its good.
I don't get why a sub has to be so high??? Is there really someone out there who belives that Blizzard is just breaking even insteed of making billions of dollars in profit??
Gw2 is making profit probably a bigone aswell and they don't have any sub, they don't have a cash shop either were you can buy everything out there of forcing you to pay after a while.
So why do everyone else need subs?
So they can make a filthy loads of money, thats why.
Sure I understand that they all wants to be millionairs, who doesn't? what I don't get is why ppl are defending these high subs?
games like wow gives you nothing for your money, all ppl say the same thing, "the game runs smoothly" so does Guild wars 2.
I don't run into any lag at all same with secret world and they make money so why can't final fantasy and wow do the same?
Sure I get it WOW has 100s of servers and they cost but they still have millions of players and they have bought the game.
I can understand a small sub but not like it is today.
Think of all the money you have payed for a game like WOW, subs for years and years, every expansion and the game itself. Cash shop, server changes and still there expansions never work good when there released, all the lagg you have been exposed to and all the bugs and still you think that they deserve a sub??
WOWs graphics are so old that they could have a mobilphone as a server today.
I played WOW on a private server with less lagg problems and all there servers were full, how is this possible with all the funding blizzard have??

Most subs have been $15 for around 10 years now. If you factor in inflation, the price of subs has actually gone down since they haven't kept up with inflation. Besides, if you can't set aside $15 a month, then you have bigger problems than paying for an MMO.
Is a man not entitled to the herp of his derp?
Remember, I live in a world where juggalos and yugioh players are real things.

The biggest problem with subscriptions is they don't stay a subscription for very long. Just once I would like to see a company make a promise to stay subscription based for 5 years and if they do decide to F2P then they should refund all the player's money who got ripped off buying subs. The worst thing is when a game starts Pay 2 Play and charges people all this money and just ends up going F2P 6 months down the road. It is a fools game and I wasn't born Yesterday. If companies can't make that promise then that just shows how weak the subscription model really is. It has been my conclusion that subscription model has been dead for quite some time. None of these recent games have any intention of remaining subscription. They are just cashing in on initial hype while secretly planning to F2P like every other recent release.
How many times are people going to allow themselves to be fooled. That is the real question.

And I'm tired of people like you always coming with the "if you can't afford to pay $15 a month".
Everybody can afford that, the thing here is that most people who don't like subs is because they feel the game is not worth that much...

Companies are realizing:
If enough players put enough real money into these bottomless pits (CodeName: MMORPG), then other people will be attracted to them if they think they can circulate that money back into their own accounts + profits - somehow.

So all in all, $15 is actually probably on the low end of what they could be charging us, since qualified devs and coders can command a salary far greater than the cost of what bandwidth used to be.

When a solid MMO comes out, I'll pay gladly. Until then I'm sticking with GW2, not incredible but it's economic model is solid for what the game has to offer.

Ain't no game in the world thats worth so much money, and I still don't get why you have to pay a sub when games like GW2 don't need it.

Perhaps tomorrow will be better.
Yes i agree that with high cost of inflation sub fees have gone down.The cost of bandwidth was very expensive is the very early days then went down but over time that is also a component of inflation.
From comments i see MANY still do not understand game design and what they are actually looking at or playing.To simply say WHY when developer A is not charging a sub is a BLIND reason.I can easily see the difference in quality between subbed games and free games and that quality is pretty much usually in the appearance/graphics.It is like buying a car,i guarantee 90% or more would pay a little extra for a nicer looking car of the same value.
The value of a subbed game is VERY little,50 cents a day,i could think of thousands of ways people waste 50 cents a day,including leaving the TV on,lights on,smokes,alcohol,eating out at McD's,buying a Coke or a Coffee,none of it is needed.

I have never played an mmo that I wanted to play for longer than a view months,they are just not good enough to keep my attention so subscription fees don't make sense to me.
and the old story why can
GW2 and EQN and shroud of the avatar ask no subscriptions and work.
you are just throwing money to the game developers.

I prefer the subscription based games. You get a better service more regular updates and nothing is locked as you have access to all the content. Yet with F2P or B2P mmo's you usually end up paying more per month than a pay to play mmo anyway due to being locked out of dungeons, or wanting to play a class or race.
F2P and B2P mmo's only work if you play them a few times a month if you are a regular player in them and play 8 to 10 hours a week then you will spend more than the £9 a month on items. Which is the usual cost of a pay to play mmo.

Subscription games put pressure on the developers to provide value to their players. F2P games just have to have stuff in the store that sells, not necessarily provide value to all their players. Sub is "What will they enjoy", F2P is "What will they buy". The difference is subtle but important. That isn't to say a F2P game can't provide value as some manage to quite well, it's just that there isn't as much pressure to do so.
I prefer a game to include everything in the sub with no store of any kind. What will determine whether or no Wildstar is a success is whether or not it is a good game that provides value to their subscribers every month. If CREDD fails nobody will use it, but that doesn't affect the game because it is an optional currency. If CREDD is a success it may provide some additional value through making subs available to people via gameplay, but the success of CREDD is fairly independent from the main game.

I find it amazing how many people suffer from memory loss if it comes to MMO's. Since when do subscription payment models guarantee quality or even quantity?
It is simple. If a gaming company thinks it can get away with subpar support, content quality and update frequency and ask top price, they will do it. It is up to you, the customer , to accept it or not. Never assume that what a company asks as price, is also a fair price. This is not how commercial business works. A price tag (or in this case payment model) doesn't guarantee anything, besides knowing what you have to pay.

Because they aren't. They are a publicly traded company, and the financial reports are freely available on their website. Since you are so focused on your own finances I would hazard the assumption that you can read a finance ledger, go look it up. Here is a hint. WoW is only 60% of their earning (D3 makes up another 30, go RMAH) and of that they are only making ~$8.50 total per subscriber. That includes box sales, the store, transfers, names changes and the sub. And that is just revenue, not profit.
False. Anet too is a publicly traded company, and as such has fully available financials available. After the initial spike that was launch+Christmas they have seen a steady drop of ~20% every quarter since, and the initial drop was huge. 347% huge. On top of which atleast the newest update is seeing horrible return. If the Asian market does not pay off (and honestly I will be surprised if it does) you will see major changes from Gw2. What and how those changes are implemented have yet to be seen.
I don't run into any lag at all same with secret world and they make money so why can't final fantasy and wow do the same?
Tsw is still getting updates (extremely slow updates) because they are subsidized through the Norwegian government. The amount of actual money they are making is nil, which can be seen by the way they do business. Ie they roll it all into their next game and barrow whatever they need to barrow to make up the rest. They have been just successful enough to not have to file for bankruptcy, which is exactly why you do not see the company growing like say CCP.
Its not graphical fidelity holding it back, its engine limitations and server structure, which is why you will never get it on a phone. There is a reason why your cpu is about 50 times more important than your gpu for WoW specifically, but mmo's in general. I mean you do realize that there really has not been a massive change in storage technology in a decade right? I mean we have ssd's, which are extremely useful, but they wear out quickly and are hugely expensive for any decent storage size. The more of those you have, the more different locations needing to be accessed by the (lowball) ~150k users killing something every single second. That lag is from bandwidth and back end.

There are other fish in the sea you know.

Something is only "dead" if it no longer serves a purpose in the market, and that is clearly not the case. Or are space sim games also dead?

@op The question is, thus, what reason has anyone to go into a WildStar CX to trade CREDD when there's no assurance of the game's longevity, quality, or amount of stuff to do when you can pay less for a subscription to the game or get more game value from a different game (or games) for less? In case you didn't check out that Krono FAQ I linked earlier... Krono sells for, at most, $17.99.
You are asking the wrong the question. The answer to what you posted is simple. There will always be those who have limited time and want access to ingame currency. Its why p2w works exceedingly well, and why gold sellers make stupid amounts of money. You combine that with people who want to play the game but not have to pay and that market takes care of itself aslong as you have a game that is worth playing. The initial push though is always going to be there. There are far too many early adopters for it not to. That initial ~10% that you can trip over and get is all you need to plant the seeds for those who want to play for free, and are willing to work for it.

ESO is going to have all three of them. While I haven't given up on the game, when I heard of the cash shop I instantly went from "I'll pre-order collectors and pre-pay at least some months of subs" mind-state to "Wait for launch, see how things turn out.. then maybe if it's excellent..".
Since I, actually, am a subscription supporter and elder scrolls fun, me ( thus players like me) having these thoughts is a really bad omen for the future of the game.
Still hope I'll be proven wrong.

Finding Your Major
Posted by Jay Watson on Monday, October 28, 2013
If you're in the midst of your college search or college application process, the task of choosing your undergraduate major may seem a long way off. While some students have known what they wanted to study since they were eight years old, others won't choose a major until well into their college experience. Sometimes both are true – just ask student blogger and Communications Studies major Erica Graff.
Although there are many factors to consider when selecting a college, the courses of study available to you at any prospective school should play an important role in your decision-making. For instance, if you want to study cryptozoology – the study of mythical animals, like unicorns and bigfoot – you would be out of luck at Vanderbilt, because we don't offer a cryptozoology major (or even any cryptozoology courses, for that matter).
In the broadest sense, this means understanding the kinds of programs of study that a school offers. Does a school focus on a liberal arts curriculum? Does it offer engineering degrees? Learning the answers to these questions, and finding a match with your own interests will go a long way toward narrowing your focus on an eventual major. Vanderbilt has four undergraduate schools – the College of Arts and Science, Blair School of Music, School of Engineering, and Peabody College of Education and Human Development – which define the broad categories of undergraduate study available. All Vanderbilt undergraduate programs of study fall within these broad categories of liberal arts and science, music, engineering, and education.
At a more detailed level, choosing your major involves reflecting on your own strengths, interests, and academic goals, and matching them with a specific program of study. Here is where you can begin to examine individual majors. Keep in mind, as Carolyn pointed out in her post on Interdisciplinary majors, that not all college majors correspond directly to your high school courses. If you love math and excel in it, you aren't limited to a mathematics major. You might also look at majors like economics, computer science, or physics and astronomy.
Vanderbilt makes this kind of research easy for prospective students. Our "Find Your Major" page lists our 68 major fields of study, indexed by discipline. Scroll through the list or use the search feature to find a major that interests you. To find out more, click on a major and you'll get a fact sheet chock-full of information about the course of study. The sheet provides a program overview, listing of recent courses, and faculty directory. Some majors will have information about study abroad opportunities or recent graduates. Feel free to explore, click through to departmental web pages, or check out the course catalog. You may just find your future major.

Good to Know:
WASHINGTON (AP) - Pfizer says an experimental drug has shown encouraging results in treating advanced breast cancer in an early clinical trial.
The world's second largest drugmaker says the drug prevented breast cancer from worsening for 20.2 months in a trial involving 165 patients. Current medications do so for 10.2 months.
The drug is known as palbociclib. It's among a new class of cancer drugs that target specific proteins to block tumors.
University of Michigan business professor Erik Gordon studies the biomedical industry. Gordon isn't affiliated with the trial, and he says the outcome wasn't as positive as some initial results reported earlier in the trial.
But he says, "there's been a lot of hope surrounding this class of cancer drugs, and this keeps that hope alive."

Windows 8 and Surface Are Two Different Platforms in This Trailer
By Snail 24 Comments
Just yesterday, Jeff put up an article on the beta site where he basically ranted about how flabbergastingly clueless Microsoft's handling of video-games is on its Windows 8 platform. It's a pretty great article.
While I tend to be kinder than most regarding Microsoft's, let's say, rocky transition to a touch-based product universe, and even though I really like some of the things they're doing, you really can't disagree with Mr. Gerstmann. Everything, everything about the way games are distributed on the Windows Store is dumb. We all know that their Xbox division is versed at digital distributing, and I (along with 30 other people) can assure you that the Windows Phone marketplace is as navigable as (and frankly, much tidier than) any other smartphone OS app store interface - yet on the Windows 8 Marketplace (dubbed Windows Store) games are hard to find, categories are scarce, the selection of games itself is weird and now that they have for the first time advertised their marketplace on a game trailer, we have confirmation that, yes, even their marketing is dumb.
The image above was taken from the release trailer for 17-Bit's finally-coming-out Skulls of the Shogun, where the Microsoft Surface is listed as a platform of its own. Okay. Why? Why is the Surface, that runs Windows 8, listed as a different platform than Windows 8? If they want to make it clear that the game will be available on the Windows Store then it would have sufficed to stamp the Windows 8 logo on the trailer, as opposed to the standard "PC Software" one. Are they trying to say that this game will also be available for ARM-based tablets? I don't know, because there's a Pro version of the Surface that runs an Intel chip. So I suspect that's what they meant, but frankly, knowing Microsoft, I cannot be sure.
But okay, look, let me level with you for a second. Microsoft did this for a reason. They want to tell people with Surface tablets that this neat little game about undead Japanese warlords will run on their expensive, tragically app-scarce Microsoft-branded slate (let's just assume both Pro and otherwise). But any person who would not have already conjectured that from the absence of the "PC" stamp and the presence of the Windows 8 logo is part of a demographic that will most likely become confused by the showcasing of Windows 8 and Surface as two different products. So this could have been one of those "dumb-to-'us'-yet-understandable-from-the-prism-of-a-larger-demographic" situations... but it's not.
Okay, maybe I got way too much into this. This probably isn't at all important, but it sure as heck is silly and it sure as heck is telling. It's (most likely) just their stupid little way of trying to say that this game runs on both Pro and RT versions of their latest OS. And if the larger marketing movement that englobes this particular instance of misguided advertising wasn't already so convoluted in and of itself, the image below probably wouldn't have tingled my "what the fuck?" glands nearly as much.
Just look at that. Yes, yes it runs on the Surface. I know. There's the Windows 8 logo before it. I can see it. But good job on making it seem that the Windows 8 OS and the Surface tablets are two mutually exclusive products, that won't confuse anyone.

The wife of the co-pilot of United Airlines Flight 93 that crashed in Pennsylvania during the 2001 terrorist attacks will be the guest speaker during a 9/11 remembrance ceremony at 10 a.m. Friday at Patriots Point in the Yorktown theater.
Melodie Homer, wife of co-pilot LeRoy Homer, wrote a book titled, "From Where I Stand," which chronicles the events that day and the life she has come to know since losing her husband.
Flight 93 had 33 passengers and seven crew members on board when it crashed near Shanksville, Pa., after terrorists hijacked the plane and passengers fought back to prevent the jet from reaching a target in Washington, D.C.
"Twelve years later and the pain and hurt from that terrible day is still deep for America; but nobody feels it like those who lost husbands, wives, children, grandchildren and those they love most," Patriots Point Executive Director Mac Burdette said. "Melodie Homer offers assurance that through grief we can still persevere."
Following Homer's remarks, a panel discussion will take place on the changes in safety in airports and the air since Sept. 11, 2001. Members of the panel are Homer; Jim Peacher, manager of airport security for the Charleston County Aviation Authority; and Bill New, deputy director of the Charleston County Aviation Authority.
The ceremony will conclude with a wreath-laying on Charleston Harbor. Admission to the museum will be free from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The $5 parking fee will still apply.

New Hampshire won all 16 events on the day and move to 6-0 overall to remain undefeated this season.

Hip fractures are a significant health risk for seniors. Hip fractures in long-term care residents may be reduced by preventing and treating osteoporosis, preventing falls, and by using hip protectors. Hip protectors are garments or undergarments with pockets for protective pads that protect the hips in the case of a fall.
The Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH) conducted a pilot project to provide policy guidance and an implementation tool on hip protectors in long-term care facilities. The policy guidance and implementation tool are based primarily on an evidence synthesis conducted by CADTH and on input by a panel of Canadian experts.
Key Messages
CADTH's work on this project resulted in the following key messages:
- Hip protectors should be considered as one element of effective institutional, regional, or provincial/territorial injury prevention strategies for seniors in long-term care facilities.
- Hip protectors benefit some long-term care residents more than others. Specific criteria should be applied to determine which seniors would benefit most (e.g., residents with previous falls or fractures, osteoporosis, cognitive impairment; women over 70; and where hip protectors will not greatly interfere with activities of daily living).
- Long-term care staff and clinicians need to work closely with long-term care residents and their families to determine which type of hip protector best suits the needs of the resident. The preference of the resident must be considered.
- To allow for consistent use by residents in long-term care facilities, an adequate number of hip protectors need to be provided.

The thicker single-ply heads (particularly the G14) seem to offer more attack than a typical single-ply head but response like you would expect out of a thinner 10mil head.
As far as technique goes, when playing faster rhythmic passages, I'm careful to play with more of a staccato articulation in order to allow the head to speak during each hit- making sure that the stick doesn't spend any longer than it needs to on the head. Playing staccato, or "separated," will help you achieve better rhythmic definition. I'd recommend continuing what you're doing with sticking exercises on the toms (play them on each one too) with a metronome and at various tempi.
At last someone answers one of the more important questions I had on technique!!! :-)
oh...and g14's are on my list as well, thanks for the reply Evans Specialist

At Forbes Leadership we take inspiration in all the best places we can find it, and this week a few of those places were pretty surprising ones. Christopher Frank offered "Six Steps to Asking Effective Questions: Lessons From the Magic 8 Ball." John Kotter followed with an unorthodox "Leadership Tip: Take Lessons From a Baby." Rick Wartzman turned to a recently deceased novelist, with "Ray Bradbury, the Non-Futurist Visionary." Jason Selk turned to a Spanish athlete: "Three Things CEOs Can Learn From Nadal's Victory at the French Open." Todd Essig even found inspiration, of a kind, in a great athlete being caught up in charges of terrible scandal: "The Lance Armstrong Doping Story Is a Teachable Moment, Not a Tragedy."
As for more traditional role models, Saj-Nicole Joni got down to "The Four Questions Behind All Corporate Strategy: A Conversation With Cynthia Montgomery." Carmine Gallo turned to the real-life character portrayed by Will Smith in The Pursuit of Happiness for "Homeless Man Turned Millionaire Offers the Best Advice I Ever Got." He also learned from Tim Cook, with "Eight Presentation Techniques You Can Copy From Apple's WWDC Keynote." Chunka Mui drew from the innovator and educator "Alan Kay on 'Learning to See.'" Rawn Shah interviewed Citigroup's "Frank Eliason on Changing the XCulture of Customer Service."
From other sources we drew the opposite of inspiration this week. Richard Levick diagnosed one very troubled business as afflicted by "The J. R. Ewing Syndrome: Chesapeake Energy and Aubrey McClendon." Robert Passikoff saw little good in "The Future of Research in Motion and Blackberry, or What Happens When You Don't Use Predictive Metrics." Simon Graj worried about "Facebook: The Fix Goes Deeper Than Plastic Surgery." Ryan Holiday ripped the scab off "How Greenpeace Manipulated the Media Like a Pro: Analyzing the Shell Oil Hoax." And Steve Olenski autopsied "JC Penney's Epic Rebranding Fail."
But what about me, you're asking by this point in our weekly roundup. Oh, we had plenty about you. Like Erika Andersen's observation that "Passionate Leaders Aren't Loud—They're Deep." Dorie Clark issued "Three Rules for Making Yourself Indispensable at Work," and Glenn Llopis promised that "Six Must-Ask Questions Will Keep Your Career on Track." Carol Kinsey Goman revealed "How to Get on the Boss's Good Side—Literally." Brittany Binowski revealed "What the Watch You Wear to Work Reveals About You," and Keld Jensen bared "The Naked Truth: How Body Language Reveals the Real You." Stephanie Lischke and Joel Wright delivered "Four Leadership Messages Your Talent Needs to Hear." Meghan Biro carved out "Five Rules of Talent Engagement: Be a Global Leader." Ron Ashkenas surprised us with "Why Learning Not to Compete Can Help You Win." Jacquelyn Smith shared "Eight Tips for Boosting Productivity at Work This Summer" (she also listed "The Best Travel Companies to Work For" and "The Best and Worst Cities for Jobs This Summer"). And Alison Griswold offered advice almost anyone will like: "To Work Better, Just Get Up From Your Desk."
We had all kinds of other good stuff this week, too, of course. For just a sampling: John Baldoni launching his Forbes Leadership presence (welcome aboard, John!) with "Counterpoint: A Good Tactic for Delivering Tough News." Kasia Moreno on "Value-Based Health Care: Fad or Future?" Ken Makovsky on "Compounding the Return on Your Content." Todd Essig on "When Convenience Battles With Robustness: A Study Comparing Telephone-Based to In-Person Therapy for Depression." Robert Sher on "How to Assess the Headache Quotient of a Potential Acquisition." Duane Hansen on "The Book That Teaches Everyone How to Be an Entrepreneur." Erika Andersen on "Love at Work—and Not in a Creepy Way." Susan Adams reporting that "Trust in Business Falls off a Cliff." Adam Gordon noting that "Gillette Finds Rhyme and Maybe Reason With Reduce-Reuse Message." Carmine Gallo with a revelatory explanation of "How Apple Store Seduces You With the Tilt of Its Laptop." Victor Lipman sharing "An Open Letter to Anyone Ever Laid Off." And my own bit of breaking news: "Robbing Banks Not a Good Career Choice, Scientists Say."
Keep checking out Forbes Leadership, and keep being surprised.

The Scarlets got their first Magners League win of the season with a hard fought 14-9 victory over local rivals the Ospreys at the Liberty Stadium on Tuesday.
In a low scoring game, full of intensity, the Scarlets trailed 6-3 at the break, but managed to turn the scores around in the second half. Adam Eustace grabbed the game's only try early in the second half, with the remainder of the points coming from fly-half Ceiron Thomas.
Eustace crashed over five minutes into the second half, although it took the verdict of television match official Derek Bevan to award the try.
The night did not start well for the Ospreys, captain Brent Cockbain ruled out in the lead up to the game with illness, meaning man-of-the-match Filo Tiatia took the captain's armband.
The first half was full of errors and was only broken up by three penalties. The first came from Scarlets fly-half Ceiron Thomas, before his opposite number Shaun Connor bagged two of his own to send the Ospreys into the break with a narrow lead.
The second half saw the standards raised somewhat, although the game was still scrappy as both sides fought tooth and nail to avoid a second consecutive defeat at the start of the new season.
It was the Scarlets who mounted the most meaningful raids of the half, and despite some stout defence Eustace was eventually driven over. Thomas missed the conversion, but he made up for it with two late penalties to effectively seal the win.
The Ospreys were given a glimmer of hope when Darren Daniel was sin-binned for a horrendously late challenge on Lee Byrne, but they could not make their numerical advantage tell, despite having Gavin Henson back in their ranks for the dying moments.
The defeat means the Ospreys have suffered their worst ever start to a season and will be hoping to end that run next weekend when they travel to Ravenhill to take on Ulster.
The Scorers:
For Ospreys:
Pens: Connor 3
For Scarlets:
For the Scarlets:

Really you want to bash OSU for playing Nicholls State?(they also play at BYU and vs WISCONSIN.... Oregon,s OOC schedule is as follows ARKANSAS STATE, FRESNO STATE, TENNESSEE TECH...ALL AT HOME.. GO FLAME SOMEWHERE ELSE
WOW!!!.. Typical U of Oregonian reporting... really this is your story? no offense to OSU?.. Ducks choked? Way to slant an article completely one way..Way to make it sound how much more superior Oregon is.. Finished higher in standings? 19-11 to 18-12.. yes higher but hardly the gap your making it sound like..What standards did the Ducks not play to?.. their only in season 4 of baseball being back for them hardly anytime for them to build any standards.. they had a great season for just their 4th season back but lets not go over board
So let me get this straight.. Duck fans complaining how they got screwed yet all I see on the OSU Basketball forum or on stories about OSU losses is Duck fans telling OSU fans to stop making excuses.
Funny how you guys react when it's your team..
I'm pretty sure the Stanford game vs Syracuse was played at Madison Square Garden..not in the Bay area
I do also Beaver1953.. I think they get this game and that will be the will begin a streak..they got all of the top team early in the PAC 12 schedule and I think that will benefit them as the season goes on.
Love how everyone knows exactly what to do at the end of games.. Funny though.. i don't see anyone here playing or coaching at DIV 1 level.. Why is that?..Real easy to criticize when just watching the game.. Everyone's a coach behind the keyboard.
Everyone chill on the foul shooting.. OSU has shot better at the foul line than their opponents in the last 3 games.. made at least 71% every PAC 12 game except Washington game..They are like 3rd or 4th overall in conference.. only 2 PAC 12 games vs Washington schools were they out shot.. not what lost them these last 2 games..
Execution is what could have made difference last 2 games..I don't think the last shot however was a bad shot.. he was open.. and had been in a groove late.. one of the reasons OSU got back in the game late was cause of his shooting..OSU wouldn't have been in that position if not for his hot shooting..
People seem to forget that OSU is running a whole new offensive and defensive system this season and there will be mistakes made..Hopefully they won't win anymore games this season so some of you can take over for CR and lead OSU to the promised land.. since we all know better how to coach than he does.
I'm tired of hearing about the stuff about CR. He said it would take until season 4 or 5 to get it turned around. OSU has been irrelevant for over twenty years. We have the worst record in the Pac12 over that time and a very dubious record of 0-18 in conference play. I'm frustrated just like everyone else, but I am so tired of people on this board who constantly berate the players and coaches. We were a punch line four years ago. No Player who was even slightly good would play here. Maybe one or two every once in awhile. CR took Johns players and turned into CBI champions. They all leave last year and we go 10-2 non conference. No it wasn't the hardest schedule. We need some wins to get to post season and yes we need to figure out how to win in the pac12. But get a grip, I don't recall the handbook saying it has to be in the fourth year that OSU had to win.
This team is becoming relevant again. If you want to count years, I say this is CR's first year. His system, his players, his philosophies. Some I don't agree with, but look what's happening. OSU has never led in scoring for a pac12 season. We lead in steals and Jared leads in individual scoring as well. They don't back down or ever give up. This is fast becoming a good team.
We have LOTS to work on. There is no question this is frustrating. But we are in every game this year. I never feel like we don't have a chance. I haven't thought that in years. We need to figure out how to close out games, but really look at who we have lost to. Washington and Arizona on the road and Stanford who is pretty good this year. WSU was disappointing. We got beat by these teams by double digits regularly. Now we have a chance in every game.
I will probably get blasted by a few on here, but the positives FAR out weigh the negatives for me. I have waited 20+ years for a great team to root for, I personally feel they are coming. I can wait this year or next. I am enjoying watching them play, which makes losses harder to take, but at least I'm frustrated and not just thinking "oh I HOPE we get a win".
WOW...Love how everyone here just seems to assume that he can't coach...and I forgot how many of you have actually coached D-1 basketball??.. easy to criticize when you just watch the game..and for some of you to assume he's not a good coach based on what he says?? really??. how do you know him or the team can't or won't get better and make adjustments? it's hard to win on the road in whatever conference you play in.. .last time i checked there are still 16 regular season games and at least 1 PAC 12 tournament game to play.. so believe it or not making it to the NCAA tournament is still a goal that can be reached..just love how all the Debbie downers come out when things don't go the way WE AS FANS want them to.. you think Robinson and the team don't want to do well also?
Who cares if they lead the Conference in scoring?.. would rather they lead the Conference in WINS!!
I have to disagree with you slightly bbb95..before the season started if I told you that OSU would go 9-9 in conference(5-13 last season) and win like 17/18 games(11-20) last season.. ..i would take it.. i think we are adjusting the expectations due to a fast start..I'm a diehard OSU fan.. let them get a winning season first then go from there.. anything else would be gravy
Really Umpqua?.. did you watch the game?.. you could tell from the begining that their hearts and heads weren't in it.. especially Cunningham. did you see the look on his face?.. add in 33% shooting and thats how they lost.. We will see but I totally expect them to bounce back on Tues.. I think this is a blip as opposed to a trend... Was very tough week...their kids and they lost a friend less than 48 hours before they played.. would be tough on anyone..
pdx and nix.. listen to me.. IT WAS MORE THAN ONE HALF OF FOOTBALL that Riley saw with Katz.. he WAS THE STARTER FOR 12 GAMES last season... Riley didnt just yank him because of 1 bad Half..He had whole season to evaluate him.. could it have been handled better?.. perhaps.. but please get your facts straight before you make your comments...
WOW.. Really 74duck?.. what do you care how people vote in what you yourself call "that little poll"?.. they are fans.. why wouldn't they have faith in their team?.. is it a long shot?.. yes very much so.. but that's why they play the game.
Who won the game TTFH?.. OSU.. they didnt blow the lead.. Arizona trailed 34-12 to USC last week and almost pulled game out(48-41)... its a 60 minute game.. OSU won.. now on to BYU and 2 in a row
No live or replayed TV... but will be streamed online at osubeavers.com if your signed up for it..

The Warrant Officer Intermediate Level Education (WOILE) is a resident 5-week, MOS-immaterial, professional military education course preceded by a DL phase. Phase 1 (DL) must be completed prior to attending the resident Phase 2. This course is only taught at the U.S. Army Warrant Officer Career College (WOCC).
Purpose: The WOILE provides CW3s and new CW4s with the intermediate level education and influential leadership skills necessary to integrate their technical expertise in support of leaders as staff officers, trainers, managers, systems integrators, and leaders at the tactical and operational levels of Army, Joint, Interagency, Intergovernmental, and Multinational (JIIM) organizations executing Unified Land Operations thru Decisive Action.
Course Schedule: Course dates, course prerequisites, and special information may be found on ATRRS; go to https://www.atrrs.army.mil/atrrscc/, and search for Course Number: Phase 1, 1-250-C8 (DL) Phase 2, 1-250-C8.
Prerequisite: Successful completion of a WOAC is required. If Equivalency Credit was awarded, you must submit verifying documentation to the DL course manager prior to requesting WOILE DL enrollment.
PHASE 1 – DISTRIBUTED LEARNING (DL):The DL course is a 48-hour asynchronistic, self-paced course hosted on the Blackboard learning content management system (web-based). Content in this phase is foundational to the resident portion of the course.
- Students must have a reserved seat in ATRRS for both Phase 1 and either a Wait or Reserved seat for a Phase 2 class prior to being enrolled in the DL.
- You must complete the DL within 90-days from the time of enrollment, or 30-days prior to your Phase 2 report date, (whichever occurs first). In order to have a full 90-day enrollment period, schedule the Phase 2 class a minimum of 120 days prior to your Phase 2 report date. Enrollments inside 120-days will have less than a 90-day enrollment period.Note: New enrollments will not be accepted inside 60-days from the Phase 2 start date.
- Obtain a reservation for the course through your training section and/or branch manager. Once you verify a Phase 1 reservation and a Phase 2 (Wait or Reserved) reservation in ATRRS, complete DL Registration from the WOCC home page. Allow 24-48 work hours for your request to be processed.
Email Account:
Communication while in the DL class will be through the Blackboard portal or e-mail. Blackboard will use the e-mail address posted in ATRRS. You can update your ATRRS profile by going to: https://www.atrrs.army.mil/channels/aitas/ and selecting "Update Profile" in the left margin menu.
You must be in either a reserved or wait status in ATRRS for both Phase 1 and Phase 2 prior to being allowed to actively enroll in the DL. After receiving an ATRRS reservation or wait notice for WOILE Phase 1 DL course 1-250-C8 (DL), you must then request enrollment. See WOILE DL Enrollment Instructions under Registration drop-down window (left column this webpage). Please allow 24-48 work hours for your request to be processed.
Previous Course Failure: If you previously failed to complete the DL course, prior to being reenrolled, you must request reenrollment via memorandum. In addition, you must provide a separate memorandum from the first O-6 supervisor or commander in your chain of command that describes the corrective actions taken to ensure you'll meet course standards.
PHASE 2 - RESIDENT COURSE: Successful completion of the APFT and height and weight screening are mandatory for course graduation. After the initial APFT and height and weight screening, one retest and/or height and weight screening is allowed. Soldiers who subsequently fail to meet physical fitness and/or height and weight standards will be removed from the course. The Academic Evaluation Report will show "Failed to Achieve Course Standards" and the Soldier is not eligible to enroll in any PME courses for 6 months after dismissal. (Army Directive 2012-20, 17 Sep 2012 & ALARACT 267/2012).
- Officers with APFT restrictions based upon an approved permanent designator in their physical profile must have an approved DA Form 3349, Physical Profile. Signatures of the profiling officer(s) and approving authority on the DA Form 3349 must be verifiable. Officers with invalid DA Forms 3349 will be returned to their unit.
- Officers with temporary profiles based upon injuries sustained due operational deployment may be permitted by their immediate commander to attend PME within the guidelines of their profile. They must arrive with a copy of their current approved profile and a memorandum signed by their commander stating the profile is a result of injuries sustained due to operational deployment. Soldiers with temporary profiles that are not a result of operational deployment that prevent full participation in a course will be removed from school attendance consideration (Para 3-13b, AR 350-1).
Questions: You may email questions regarding WOILE to the Registrar at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Netanyahu Visits Las Vegas, Israel
This is a desert place, and the time is now past; send the multitude away—Matthew 14:15
New in the Website
Threatening Iran, making odd allusions to American cities, and announcing new separation walls, Netanyahu celebrated a key stage in the IDF redeployment.
Las Vegas, Israel
At those times, it was forbidden to take any papers to uncovered spaces; they waited within the rooms until the danger passed. Interestingly, Russian and Chinese satellites were not watched. Maybe something to do with Soviet camaraderie; I never asked.
The point is that over the years, many IDF installations have become to well known and exposed. Ostrovsky described the Mossad Headquarters at the Glilot Junction. Next to it are the Military Intelligence School and a large base of the 8200 Sigint Unit. No secrets here. These and other bases—like the computing center (Mamram) in Ramat Gan —are not very safe and quite accessible.
This was a key reason for the decision taken on June 8, 2010, by the Southern District Committee for Planning and Building—approved the construction of several new intelligence bases in the Negev Desert. These are to be finished until 2017.
The changes are big. The Intelligence Corps would move to the Likit Area, east of Beer Sheva, and west of the Shoket Junction. The Military Intelligence School would be moved to the Negev Junction. Then, the technological intelligence units (that was the term used in the Hebrew media, it refers to the Glilot SIGINT 8200 base) would be relocated near the town of Omer. The last step would include the move of the computing unit (Mamram) next to the Negev University at Beer Sheva.
Most of the IDF instruction bases would be moved into the area as well, releasing expensive land at Tzrifin, near Tel Aviv. This lead to the area to be nicknamed also as "Ba'ad City" (Instruction Bases City).
Overall the cost announced was an amazing 25 billion ILS (roughly $6 billion); Netanyhau now upgraded the data, claiming that the final cost would exceed the $10 billion.
The new "Intelligence Town"—as it has been nicknamed—would include 300,000 built square meters in the low buildings showed in the simulation below. Probably the base would include a large underground facility. All the new IDF strategic bases include large underground facilities. The "Bor" (hole) below the Ministry of Defense is probably the most famous of these, but also "Wing 2" and the Northern Command are largely underground. The latter is below 150 meters (roughly 500 feet) of solid rock.
Israel is too small for the IDF to maneuver within it. The army is now moving deep into the desert to allow that much needed capability. Would that made a difference in case of war? Probably it means that the entrance to the Final Exile in the Sinai Desert would be faster and easier.
However, Netanyahu's speech at the new base expanded on its secondary goals. He also scrapped all previous names, baptizing the area as "Las Vegas;" this nickname will probably stick.
Surreal Speech
Once Las Vegas become a proper site for a politician to be photographed in, Netanyahu approached it and delivered one of his most surreal speeches. The expected parts commented on the effect this would have on the Negev. Thousands of soldiers would move to the Negev. A larger number of civilians would move after them, providing them with services.
"The Negev would become Israel's Silicon Valley," he said, failing to explain why training and SIGINT bases would achieve this effect. Yet, in the ears of his voters this sounds nice. "Until 2020, this will increase the economic activity of the Negev in $0.5 billion," he added.
Then, he presented his Las Vegas Dream. "We want to materialize the vision of the first Prime Minister, Ben Gurion, to flower the desert...I asked: 'Why? Is this a desert?' [actually, yes] I looked around and saw that in the USA, in the desert cities of Las Vegas and Phoenix, they have the highest growing rate." Hebrew speakers can't easily pronounce "Phoenix," "Las Vegas" was the chosen name for the rest of his speech. Then, he added: "How come Ben Gurion's vision was materialized in Las Vegas and not in the Negev?"
Has Las Vegas been settled by Zionist farmers? Is gambling the Zionist Dream? In his nearby grave, Ben Gurion moved uncomfortably. Hell wasn't a good enough punishment for him, now he had been sentenced to listen to Netanyahu's brute rape of his dream.
He kept explaining why textile factories (which failed in the past) are not suitable for the desert. He kept hitting on the hi-tech drum without explaining why this segment of Israeli industry would leave its comfy Tel Aviv offices. If anywhere, they invariably move to California. "Dimona, Las Vegas, Timbuktu, same same; I love New York" he was thinking while looking at his dismayed listeners.
While openly vilified and attacked, African workers have become a cornerstone of Tel Aviv's capability to survive. In recent years, Palestinians from the West Bank have seen their access to the metropolis highly restricted. Their place has been taken mainly by African workers; most of them entered without permits. In 2012, Israel almost completed a new separation wall along its desert border with Egypt. Las Vegas is a complementing barrier.
"The first thing is to avoid the ongoing dripping of infiltrators," he said alluding to the barrier qualities of the new military complex.
"The King is naked!" a famous kid said and entered history. Look around you, Netanyahu, there is only sand and sand.** Netanyahu, you have no proper industry, not even casinos. Netanyahu, you live out of American taxpayers money while kicking others out of their ancestral homes. Netanyhau, you have an army of African slaves doing your dirty jobs and you deny them even their basic rights because you don't want them to do to you what Zionists have made to Palestinians, Bedouins and Druze.
Netanyhau, this is nothing but the brutish, violent hypocrisy of conquest. This is the root of your immorality, this is the root of your illegitimacy.
* When he returned to Israel in the 1980's, Netanyahu spoke Henglish. His Hebrew is so poor, that even his nickname sounds like a joke, see Strategic Sewage.
**In Hebrew, "sand" is a synonym for "valueless" and "common." In a past election campaign, the Shas Shas Haredi party coined a catchy slogan "Right and Left are only sand and sand," meaning secular-Zionist parties are all the same.

ICIS 2009 is past. This information is provided for archival purposes only.
Student volunteers are an integral part of running a successful conference. They are the "back bone" of the event and find the donation of their time and energy a meaningful experience for themselves as well as for the organization.
Student volunteers received free registration to all ICIS 2009 events. All other costs (transportation, lodging and meals etc.) were their own responsibility.
Student volunteer criteria used:
Some volunteer duties included:
How many volunteers were selected?
We needed close to 30 volunteers.
Reference letter
A short reference letter had to be emailed to email@example.com from your advisor or department head no later than the deadline date. References needed to indicate student volunteer's name and school name in the text of the email.
The email address had to be the same as the person doing the referral. For instance, a secretary working for your advisor could not send the statement. It had to come from the advisor him/herself.
There was no limit in length for the reference and it is basically a "why the committee should select this person to be a volunteer" letter.
Important dates
Volunteer application and reference letters were due by: August 3, 2009
Volunteer notifications were sent by: September 11, 2009
Application form
The application form has been removed for archiving.

In 1968, the Friends of Seymour Library was formed to support Auburn's Seymour Library.
Now, in 2010, after being reorganized last year, the friends organization is the center of attention for an upcoming event with author, columnist and National Public Radio host Amy Dickinson.
The Friends of Seymour Library will present a tea and Mother's Day celebration at 2 p.m. Saturday May 8 at Springside Inn in Auburn and proceeds will go to the friends group.
"The goal of the group is to support the library's functions, promote reading, assist through fundraising and enhance the community's appreciation of the library," said Laura Ponticello of Laura's List: Books for Women, which is sponsoring the event with Creekside Books and Coffee.
The Mother's Day weekend event came together when Friends of Seymour Public Library officer and board member Suzanne Klink approached Laura's List about being involved in the tea.
"It was a natural fit," Ponticello said.
The afternoon tea will feature Dickinson, author of "The Mighty Queens of Freeville: a Mother, a Daughter, and the Town that Raised Them," a New York Times bestselling memoir. Books will be available for purchase at the event and there will be a book signing after the author's speech. Creekside Books and Coffee will host the book signing portion of the event.
"Amy [will] highlight her own story of being a mother, as well as the theme of her book of second chances, just released in paperback," Ponticello said.
Slated to be a formal tea, the event will include an assortment of tea sandwiches and tea samplings. Anyone who wishes to attend is invited.
"[It will be a] fun, inspirational event that raises money for our public library system and great opportunity to celebrate a special woman in your life -- mother, sister, niece, daughter, friend," Ponticello said.
Tickets are available for $25 each or two for $45 and can be purchased from Creekside Books and Coffee or Seymour Public Library. For more information, log onto seymourlibrary.com.

Albany (11-5), the 18th ranked team in the nation, earned America East's automatic bid to the tournament with a 20-11 win over UMBC in the league title game on May 3 (Championship Game Recap). Brothers Miles and Lyle Thompson combined for 17 points to lead the way with Miles earning Most Outstanding Player honors after setting a new tournament record with 18 points while Lyle tied the NCAA single-season points record.
The Great Danes will enter the NCAAs having won seven in a row and as the nation's top scoring team, averaging 16.3 goals per game.

New details in the search for two missing men in the Brazos River.
The Brazos County Department of Public Safety has confirmed that the truck, the men allegedly drove off a bank Sunday, has been found.
Authorities say the truck was located Monday afternoon about 50 yards, from where it reportedly went in. However, there's been no sign of the missing men.
Swift waters are keeping a DPS dive team out of the water Monday. But, troopers, game wardens and Washington County deputies are still searching the area.
Authorities say early Sunday morning four men took a truck from a private ranch on FM 1370, and drove it off a bank.
Two men who where in the bed of the truck survived a 25 foot drop, but two men in the truck's cab were never found.
The two who survived, 29-year-old Luis Loredo and 22-year-old Juan Carlos Esneider, both of Navasota, were able to swim to safety and later charged with unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.
Other charges are possible.

Hey Abby, so you want to impose taxes on churches?
So it is ok for churches to get involved in politics then?
Because the tax exempt status is what the IRS has always used as the cattle prod to thuggishly intimidate churches into not getting into politics (unless of course it is Moooochelle Obozo, the **cough**lady**cough** that lives in the White House, speaking up at a church service/conference on behalf of her husband's presidential campaign).
Are you sure this is what you would like to do?
