I just completed a year in the program and I am very grateful for the many opportunities I have had to learn and challenge myself on a daily basis as well as be involved in the Bauer community, which is something that was equally important to me. My MBA experience so far has been very rewarding as I continue to learn how far I can push myself.

Considering the quality of education, the flexibility of the MBA program, the variety of certificates and concentration areas, the return on investment, and the after-graduation business potential, Bauer was my obvious choice.

Another deciding factor in choosing Bauer was the ability to custom tailor my MBA to concentrate in whichever content I was most passionate about, while still receiving a core MBA education and getting a small taste of all aspects of the business program. My favorite thing about Bauer is the people, from the administration who led me through my admissions and orientation process, my professors and advisors, and most importantly my fellow Bauer classmates.

THE GOGEBIC Community College board discusses faculty appointments at its meeting Tuesday evening. Pictured are, from left, chairman John Lupino, president Jim Lorenson, recording secretary Linda Gustafson and secretary Susan Beals.
IRONWOOD - The Gogebic Community College board discussed the launch of a Behavioral Intervention Team at its meeting Tuesday evening.
The team will work with students dealing with drug and alcohol use through assessments and counseling sessions.
Student services officials have identified drug and alcohol use as a factor leading to lack of academic success for some students in achieving their educational goals.
"This is a pilot program to see how it works," said Dean of Student Services Jeanne Graham.
The board agreed to contract with Samaritan Counseling Centers for assessments and counseling services to be held at the school as part of the program. The cost for the current semester is $5,000.
"I'm pleased we're providing services like these for our students," said president Jim Lorenson.
Graham also gave an enrollment report for the new semester.
GCC, with enrollment up 36 students, is one of only two community colleges in Michigan to have positive enrollment this semester, Lorenson said.
"Gogebic today is certainly not the Gogebic of a decade ago," said Lorenson.
The board also approved various faculty appointments.
It appointed Christina Ylitalo as a full-time biology instructor for the college at its Copper Country extension center.
The board appointed Patricia Polakowski as administrative assistant to the Dean of Instruction Ken Trzaska.
It also approved to continue Ed Gorman's contract as full-time probationary automotive technology faculty member.
The board approved purchase of a 2013 Suburban from Red's Auto at $37,069. It also declared the 2001 Ford Taurus surplus property and will now seek bids for its sale.
The board also approved expenditures of $22,000 for laptop computers for the Copper Country campus, and $5,000 for an engineering study of the pool in the Lindquist Student Center.

Lucid had a thick Oklahoma ('Sooner') accent, which she shared with astronaut Tom Stafford. She was utterly dedicated to her work, and indifferent to office politics. This set her apart from the other TFNG women who were competing hard to become the first American woman in space. Her dedication to her work resulted in her becoming the most flown woman in space and the American with the duration record after six months aboard the Mir space station.
On one mission her crew included Saudi Prince Sultan. When the crew visited Saudi Arabia, a flap developed when Lucid was told she could not enter the country unless being accompanied by a male family member. She refused and Saudi Arabia offered to designate her an honorary man, which caused no end of ribbing from the male chauvinists in the astronaut corps.
Lucid was a member of the Bible study group which expelled Mullane after a sexist remark.
Dr. Lucid is a commercial, instrument, and multi-engine rated pilot.
STS-51G Discovery (June 17-24, 1985) was a 7-day mission during which crew deployed communications satellites for Mexico (Morelos), the Arab League (Arabsat), and the United States (AT&T Telstar). They used the Remote Manipulator System (RMS) to deploy and later retrieve the SPARTAN satellite which performed 17 hours of x-ray astronomy experiments while separated from the Space Shuttle. In addition, the crew activated the Automated Directional Solidification Furnace (ADSF), six Getaway Specials, and participated in biomedical experiments. The mission was accomplished in 112 orbits of the Earth, traveling 2.5 million miles in 169 hours and 39 minutes. Landing was at Edwards Air Force Base (EAFB), California.
STS-34 Atlantis (October 18-23, 1989) was a 5-day mission during which she deployed the Galileo spacecraft on its journey to explore Jupiter, operated the Shuttle Solar Backscatter Ultraviolet Instrument (SSBUV) to map atmospheric ozone, and performed numerous secondary experiments involving radiation measurements, polymer morphology, lightning research, microgravity effects on plants, and a student experiment on ice crystal growth in space. The mission was accomplished in 79 orbits of the Earth, traveling 1.8 million miles in 119 hours and 41 minutes. Landing was at Edwards Air Force Base, California.
STS-43 Atlantis (August 2-11, 1991) was a nine-day mission during which the crew deployed the fifth Tracking and Data Relay Satellite (TDRS-E). The crew also conducted 32 physical, material, and life science experiments, mostly relating to the Extended Duration Orbiter and Space Station Freedom. The mission was accomplished in 142 orbits of the Earth, traveling 3.7 million miles in 213 hours, 21 minutes, 25 seconds. STS-43 Atlantis was the eighth Space Shuttle to land at KSC).
STS-58 Columbia (October 18 to November 1, 1993). This record duration fourteen-day mission was recognized by NASA management as the most successful and efficient Spacelab flight flown by NASA. The STS-58 crew performed neurovestibular, cardiovascular, cardiopulmonary, metabolic, and musculoskeletal medical experiments on themselves and 48 rats, expanding our knowledge of human and animal physiology both on earth and in space flight. In addition, they performed 16 engineering tests aboard the Orbiter Columbia and 20 Extended Duration Orbiter Medical Project experiments. The mission was accomplished in 225 orbits of the Earth, traveling 5.8 million miles in 336 hours, 13 minutes, 01 seconds. Landing was at Edwards Air Force Base, California. In completing this flight Dr. Lucid logged 838 hours, 54 minutes in space making her America's female space traveler with the most hours in space.
Dr. Lucid currently holds the United States single mission space flight endurance record on the Russian Space Station Mir. Following a year of training in Star City, Russia, her journey started with liftoff at Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on March 22, 1996 aboard STS-76 Atlantis. Following docking, she transferred to the Mir Space Station. Assigned as a Board Engineer 2, she performed numerous life science and physical science experiments during the course of her stay aboard Mir. Her return journey to KSC was made aboard STS-79 Atlantis on September 26, 1996. In completing this mission Dr. Lucid traveled 75.2 million miles in 188 days, 04 hours, 00 minutes, 14 seconds.

Verizon Motorola Droid 2 to be launched with Android 2.2 Froyo, maybe?
Android 2.2 Froyo is out for some time, and yet we still haven't seen any new smartphone to come with it. Well, one of the first to do it might be the Motorola Droid 2, which should be launched by Verizon on August 23.
Droid-life has managed to get some new details on the upcoming smartphone from one of their readers who has (or had) a Droid 2 running Froyo.
Reportedly, the Droid 2 is "noticeably more responsive" than the first Droid, thanks in no small part to its 1GHz processor.
The Droid 2 also comes with the same Blur UI found on the Droid X, and with "bundle of bloatware including the Blockbuster app, mobile hotspot and all of the Blur widgets."
For now, no one can say for certain if the Droid 2 will indeed have Android 2.2 Froyo at launch, but I really think this is highly probable. What about you?

BEREA – The Browns traded for Dolphins receiver Davone Bess, NFL Network reported. The Browns didn't immediately confirm the report.
The compensation from the Browns wasn't immediately known, but is believed to be a draft pick in the final four rounds Sunday.
The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported Bess received a three-year contract extension with the Browns. He will likely have to pass a physical before the deal is finalized.
Bess (5-foot-10, 193 pounds) had 61 catches for 778 yards and a touchdown in 13 starts in 2012.
Bess, 27, would join Josh Gordon, Greg Little, David Nelson and Travis Benjamin among Cleveland's wideouts.

quote:Originally posted by Aaron3.BTTWill we see a General Grievous that is in proper scale with the rest of the 3.75" line? HASBROInteresting question. We work far ahead of the final versions in some cases, and Grievous was one of those. We based our figures (all five) on the input we had at the time which stated that Grievous was 6'4" and had certain deco. The final film version was much taller and had different deco. If, and when, we go back to do a new Grievous we'll take the official film height into account.

This digest-sized cookbook with a frosted plastic cover is inexpensive, but it is full of simple slow cooker recipes, many with only three or four ingredients. "101 Things To Do With Ramen Noodles" almost looks like a little cookbook for the Easy Bake Oven. A quick flip through the pages promises every bit of the same enjoyable cooking experience.
You have probably seen these little plasticized "101 Things To Do With...." cookbooks in magazine racks at dollar stores, grocery stores or other venues. "101 Things To Do With Ramen Noodles" and "101 Things To Do With Jello" are two very common ones. "101 Things To Do With A Slow Cooker" is the best in this genre of books so far. If you can't find the little gem in a store, it is available online at Amazon.com.
Some of the recipes are easy, almost magical ideas for using the slow cooker that you seldom see in a cookbook due to their pure simplicity and brevity. These are the unusual slow cooker "formulas" that women began to share among themselves when slow cookers, or crock pots, were introduced. These recipes use familiar ingredients in unfamiliar, imaginative ways.
The boneless chicken recipes are often the most sought-after ideas for everyday cooking. The Lemonade Chicken is an intriguing example. It uses four boneless chicken breasts cooked in a sauce made of a can of frozen lemonade, three tablespoons of brown sugar, a tablespoon of vinegar and a 1/4 cup of ketchup!
Anyone who truly loves and collects cookbooks knows that it is not just about a recipe book that you pull out and throw down on the counter when you want to prepare a certain dish. It is about what the cookbook looks and even feels like. It is about being able to sit down in a comfy spot with a cup of tea and browse through the cookbook or even take it to bed as nighttime reading! It is about pulling it out to show a friend. And, of course, it is about the new, different recipes inside.

Respawn Entertainment's upcoming first-person robot shooter, Titanfall, will not feature any form of microtransactions. The developer confirmed the news through Twitter.
Most people expected micro transactions to be featured, but they will not be baked into the game. Respawn were asked if Titanfall would have microtransactions, or a season pass, to which Respawn replied with "no microtransactions, I don't have any news on a season pass". There you have it folks, no microtransactions for Titanfall.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – The No. 23 Mercer baseball team scored a run in the eighth and another in the ninth to pull off a 7-6 comeback win over Florida A&M on Wednesday evening at Moore-Kittles Field.
After Wednesday night's victory, Mercer (33-12) is now tied with Mississippi State and NC State for the seventh-most wins in the country this season.
The Bears jumped all over Florida A&M starter Heath Blackburn to the tune of three runs in the top of the first inning. A two-RBI double by junior Nick Backlund and an RBI-double by senior David Reid-Foley pushed Mercer out to an early 3-0 lead.
The Orange and Black continued to swing the bats effectively in the top of the second; using an RBI single by junior Derrick Workman and an RBI double by Backlund to go up 5-1.
The scoring settled down as both teams dipped into their bullpens until the Rattlers got a big hit in the bottom of the seventh. With runners on second and third with two outs, sophomore Kevin Singletary pulled a three-run home run just over the fence in left field to give Florida A&M its first lead of the day, at 6-5.
Mercer didn't give in, however, generating the tying run with an RBI single by senior Evan Boyd in the eighth and the go-ahead run on an RBI single by sophomore Chensy Young in the ninth.
Now up 7-6, the combination of sophomore Dimitri Kourtis and senior David Teasley recorded the final three outs of the contest to secure the road win.
Backlund led the Bears offensive attack by going 2-for-4 with three RBI to push his Atlantic Sun Conference leading total up to 54 in 2013.
Mercer stays on the road as it returns to Atlantic Sun Conference play this weekend with a three-game series against USC Upstate starting on April 26. First pitch on Friday evening is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Harley Park.

Apparently Prince is a huge fan of the Fox hit "New Girl." On Jan. 14, the New York Daily News reported that Prince will be making a guest appearance on the show and the idea was all his.
"New Girl" will air right after the end of the Superbowl on February 2. That episode is going to be huge and it will feature Prince playing himself. The episode centers around Jess and her friends trying to crash a party at a mansion. Prince will be there and of course, hilarity will ensue.
According to executive producer Brett Baer, Prince wanted to do the show because he is a huge fan. Baer even told E! News, "he contacted us last season because he's a huge fan." This all happened last year when Prince contacted Zooey Deschanel and Hannah Simone directly, asking to be a part of "New Girl."
Immediately following the post-Superbowl episode of "New Girl" will be another comedy smash-hit, "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" which just won a Golden Globe award for best comedy. Considering the huge Superbowl audience, these post-game shows should be seen by plenty.

Yep TX is nice that way that they have a specific exception for bicycle carriers in their transportation code dealing with obscured license plates.
Another rack I'd really like to check out is the Tuf Rack, looks burly, and it sounds like they will custom make you any hitch/receiver setup you want, so if you want it farther back, closer, higher up etc. they will build it, and the offer pre-built setups with 0, 3, and 6" of rise from the hitch to hold 1 to 5 trays.
That said, I don't like the single center ratchet strap hold down, just because I have bikes with top tube mount cables, and even without cables you'd need a serious strap pad. I've seen ratchet straps do some impressive damage to motorcycles rubbing on them for a few hundred miles on a trailer, right through paint and into the aluminum. It's also hard to tell how solidly all the parts are once they are put together but it looks like there's a lot of slop in their video on their website in the trays/hitch. They do have a small set screw on the tray that's supposed to keep them from wobbling but having seen much beefer anti-wobble designs give up off road I don't buy that little set screw is going to work after a few miles of bumps. They also sell a hitch anti-wobble as well. There's also no folding option but I could live with that. If it had an option to solidly bolt to the hitch and solidly bolt the trays so there was zero slop, and it had a better bike retention system it would be sweet. It also looks like from pics of it in use that the ratchet strap can also end up with the ratchet itself rubbing on your cranks.

Legion Developer Q&A - PvP
This week was the Legion PvP Q&A with Holinka. Our notes are a quick recap, watch the video for context!
Next week is
Craig Amai
with Order Halls and Artifacts.
The team isn't happy with class balance currently on the beta.
Tuning for characters with maxed out artifacts isn't a priority right now, the priority is tuning for launch.
Artifacts aren't tuned for PvP as well as they will be eventually.
There is a PvP multiplier for many spells in Legion, so the team can tune spells individually for PvP without affecting PvE.
Artifact traits can also be tuned for PvP, independent of PvE.
Cauterizing Blink
has been reduced to be half as effective in PvP.
Doom Winds
is another trait that also has reduced power in PvP.
Healers were not getting the full stats from their weapons applied to the PvP template, so they were undertuned by almost 30% until recently.
Earlier in beta, damage in PvP was far too high. Everyone ran in, used their cooldowns, and everyone died.
As damage is lowered and now that healers are fixed, utility spells should be useful again.
Earning Gear
In Legion, if you win a battleground, skirmish, or arena you get a piece of gear.
The strongboxes in Legion contains items like potions or
Mark of Honor
The gear you win uses the same random upgrade system that PvE gear does, with a random upgrade of +5, +10, +15, or more item levels.
Grinding lots of currency and then visiting a vendor to purchase a piece of gear wasn't very exciting over the long term.
When things are less predictable, it is a little more exciting when you get a piece of gear and a little disappointing when you don't get the gear you want.
The team wants some unpredictability, but knows the community has been getting their gear from vendor purchases for a long time.
The team is putting in bad luck protection. When you get a piece of gear, the chance to get that piece of gear again is significantly lowered.
You will get gear at the same rate as you have in the past, but the order is a little less predictable.
The PvE part of the game also has an unpredictable gear system.
Gearing up for PvE with PvP gear will still be possible. The gear isn't quite as good for PvE as the PvP gear you get in Warlords.
PvP Stat Template
At the launch of Legion, the PvP stat template base will give you stats like you are wearing item level 850 gear.
Every item level above a baseline (800 at launch) increases your stats by 0.1%.
If you had an item level of 900 you would have a stat boost of 10%, giving you stats like you are wearing item level 860 gear.
Old Honor Gear
Honor and Conquest are going away in Legion and will be converted to gold.
Strongboxes will reward Marks of Honor, which can be used to purchase all of the older PvP gear.
Rewards and Rated Content
It is important to the team that a lot of players feel like doing rated PvP.
The average player will be motivated to do rated PvP for gear and increasing their honor level.
Every time you do a rated PvP activity you get double honor for your first win of the day.
Rated content offers 50% more honor than the unrated content.
Rated content offers a higher upgrade chance for the PvP gear you get from a win.
The higher rated you are, the higher chance you have to get an upgrade.
PvP Seasons
Seasons will be tied to raid tiers due to how new content is produced and released.
PvP seasons would benefit from being a little shorter than raid tiers.
Players enjoy the start of the season with new changes and the chance to gear up, as well as the end of the season fighting to get their title.
Seasons have been about as twice as long as they should be.
Legion doubles the number of seasons, so halfway through a raid tier a season will end and a new tier will start.
Seasons will last
10 to 15 weeks.
World PvP
Honor talents activate in all PvP situations. If you hit another player or are hit by another player, they activate.
PvP stat templates do not activate out in the world.
Honor talents can be tuned so that they don't give you a large advantage in PvE.
The team doesn't want you to have an incentive to have someone constantly hit you for access to the the talents.
The team will look at having PvP stat templates activate for duels.
Character Customization
There is character customization through Honor Talents.
Secondary stats for some specs are problematic, with things like Mastery creating too much burst sometimes.
The team doesn't want to introduce complexity into the system by letting players tune their stats.
They could create Honor Talents that influence your PvP stat template if that is a popular desire.
PvP Balance and Talents
The team will hopefully be able to make balance changes more often so that a spec isn't underperforming or overperforming for a long time.
Changing PvP spell multipliers is something that can be done with quicker hotfixes.
The team wanted compelling rewards from the honor system. Compelling rewards usually involve player power.
The player power granted by the honor system is the Honor Talents.
For a reward to feel good when you get it, it will feel bad when you don't have it.
You can quickly level to Honor Level 10 and have access to at least one PvP talent for each tier. The rest offer additional customization as you rank up.
PvP talents will be reviewed on an ongoing basis to fix underpowered ones or change out talents that no one is using.
Honor Level / PvP talents are not reset each season. Every season adds more Prestige levels.
Initially you are Prestige level 0 and Honor Level 1. You level to Honor Level 50, press the prestige button to level your prestige.
The first season has four Prestige levels and the next will add another four.
Arenas and Battlegrounds
In Warlords, a lot of the PvP focus was on Ashran.
Hardcore arena players may not have liked Ashran but there were people that enjoyed it.
In Legion, lots of PvP dev time was spent on the new honor system.
There are two new arenas in Legion and one old arena may be getting a facelift.
The team hasn't been doing a great job with creating new battlegrounds.
There are lots of battlegrounds already so if they add new battlegrounds, the team might cycle out some old ones.
The team is talking about how to make more battlegrounds and release them more regularly.
There are a lot of conversations going on regarding how the team communicates what they are doing about cheating.
There is a group of people that has a full time job of reviewing player actions and punishing cheaters.
The team is reviewing their policies about repeat offenders right now.
When someone is demonstrating that they are committed to cheating, they shouldn't be allowed to play the game.
Preventing kick bots is a challenge. Interrupts aren't on the GCD, so you can cast them at any time.
The team cares about the cheating problem and they are working on solving it.
Engineering Toys in Random Battlegrounds
Removing Engineering toys from unrated battlegrounds was an oversight.
The team will look at it and see if it is possible to bring them back.
PvP Accessibility and Roles
The PvP honor level is being used as a gauge of experience.
A few weeks after launch, if you are below honor level 10 and prestige level 0, you will be placed in a different bucket from everyone else for random battlegrounds.
The team wants players that are tanks to be able to go and have fun in PvP, but not at the expense of everyone else.
In Legion you have to select your role before you queue.
You can't bring 2 healers or 2 tanks into 3v3 arenas anymore.
If you are a tank and want to go and do arenas with your friends, you can be very good and have fun.
The team doesn't want tanks to be the preferred spec at the top end of PvP.
It makes a lot of sense to bring a tank to rated battlegrounds. They can be a flag carrier or front line target caller.
World PvP Zones
World PvP zones were designed to exist during their expansion, maybe stick around a little longer, but that is it.
The team understands the nostalgia for the older World PvP and is talking about things they can do.
One idea is an occasional Wintergrasp event to make use of the old zones.
There are four free-for-all PvP zones out in the world in Legion.
You can turn into a Murloc, tame and mount animals for mounted PvP, as well as the Black Rook Hold arena out in the world, fighting each other to earn points.
There are also World PvP quests.
Changing Old Battlegrounds
The team has to be very careful about changing any of the older battlegrounds.
Rocks and trees not blocking line of sight in Warsong is weird and is something the team can look at.
The older battlegrounds could get a visual update, but they don't want to change up the layouts.
Taking the gameplay from older battlegrounds and making a new map with it would be a better solution.
The systems in place in this expansion delivery on class fantasy, but there has been some mobility power creep.
If a class is very mobile and has a lot of damage uptime, they may need a damage reduction to maintain balance.
There are certain spells with a teleport that offer a lot more power in PvP than they do in PvE. The damage on these spells may be massively reduced, as the main benefit is a teleport.
Arena Master and 5v5
The Arena Master
is becoming a Legacy achievement in Legion.
It would be wrong to just remove the 5v5 requirement, as players actually earned it in the past.
A replacement achievement and title is possible.
5v5 was removed as it was very unpopular. Less people do 5v5 than mythic raiding.
Rated PvP
The team isn't trying to drive everyone to rated PvP.
It is better when more people are participating in rated PvP, giving players somewhere to go when they care about winning a little bit more.
It is fine if someone just wants to do random battlegrounds or skirmishes. Almost everything being done in Legion will benefit them too.
Prestige level starts at 0.
Honor level goes from 1 to 50. When you hit 50 you can reset to 1 and gain a prestige rank.
The first prestige level rewards a battle pet that follows you around and tells everyone how awesome you are.
Alliance Enthusiast
Horde Fanatic
The second level starts a quest line that gives you another of the PvP artifact appearances.
The third level rewards a
Courser mount
The fourth level
rewards a pennant
like the ones from arenas, but a faction skin. It also rewards a title.
Cross-Faction Queues
Cross-Faction groups for random battlegrounds is not likely to happen. Faction lines are too important to ignore.
Burst and Crowd Control
The team doesn't want the game to just matter every few minutes when burst cooldowns are up.
Healer mana, applying sustained pressure, and crowd control should matter.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie live very busy lives. With six kids at home and busy film careers, they barely find time to head out together as a couple for a date night. They did manage to find the time to do just that over the weekend though. Just Jared shared photos of the couple's date night on June 29.
Where did Brad and Angelina go for their date night? The two are back in Los Angeles together after Angelina's return from Japan. She was overseas promoting "Maleficent" for Disney. Since they were both at home in Los Angeles, the couple headed out to Ago Restaurant. The West Hollywood restaurant is owned by Robert De Niro. He worked with Jolie on the film Shark Tale. Brad and Angelina were caught by photographers as they exited the restaurant. The couple didn't seem to be bothered by the cameras. They held hands as they walked out to their waiting car.
Angelina has been very busy in recent weeks promoting "Maleficent." The Disney film is her highest grossing live-action film to date. It has made $200 at U.S. theaters, and it has made more than $500 million world wide, according to Us Magazine. The only film to make more for the actress is Kung Fu Panda.
Fans of the actresses' work should prepare themselves for the end of her career in front of the camera. Jolie admitted in a recent interview that she might end her time as an actress with her upcoming "Cleopatra" release. She said the following in a BBC Radio interview:
"It's one of those you feel like, well, maybe that's the one you put everything into, and that's where you end it, that's where you finish—in a great way. What could you do beyond that one?"
Next up for the couple is Pitt's release of "Fury." The film set during World War II is set for release in November. Jolie also has another film she directed coming out. "Unbroken" is the name of that film.
Even though the couple stole some time for themselves on Saturday , their children are still on the top of their priority list. Pitt and Jolie recently celebrated the birthday of their eight year old daughter Shiloh. The couple went all out too. They built a skate park in the backyard of their Los Angeles home. Shiloh is the skateboarder in the family, but the skate park will be something for the entire family to enjoy.
There are recent reports that Jolie is looking to add one more child to the family as well. The actress had both breasts removed due to her genetic predisposition to cancer. Next, it is reported that she will have a hysterectomy. Classicalite reported that the actress wants to have one more child. A source said the following:
"Angie started IVF treatments a few months ago. It can take a number of tries for it to work. But the goal was to be pregnant as soon as possible...Angie told me she loves the idea of being a pregnant bride and has been talking about how beautiful it will be to walk down the aisle while she's expecting. Brad is thrilled and so are the kids."
Neither Jolie or Pitt have revealed if the latest reports are true, so they should be taken with a grain of salt. It does seem that the couple is still quite happy together after being together for 10 years.

Donald Anderson
Redirected from Sigint
this wiki
Donald Anderson, also known as Sigint, was a former member of FOX and an expert on weapons, equipment and cutting-edge technology. He assisted Naked Snake during Operation Snake Eater and the San Hieronymo Incident, participated in the development of ARPANET, and was one of the founding members of the Patriots. Anderson later became the chief of DARPA, supporting the development of Metal Gear REX in the early 2000s. During the Shadow Moses Incident, he was tortured to death by Revolver Ocelot of FOXHOUND, and later impersonated by Decoy Octopus.
Early life and career
Donald Anderson was born on Veterans Day 1939, in Nashville, Tennessee. At some point in his life, he became familiar with weaponry and high-tech equipment. He was later scouted by Major Zero and requested to join the CIA for his abilities due to having difficulty finding a job anywhere else due to racial discrimination. However, his recruitment caused some controversy among his peers, with Major Zero often having to deal with complaints relating to Anderson three days per month. However, at some point in his life, he met and befriended Jim Houseman.
Anderson was responsible for inventing the Raikov mask, which was originally intended for a CIA-sponsored mission. An agent was to infiltrate the Soviet Union, impersonate a GRU officer, sneak into a Soviet installation, and steal secret documents. However, the mission was aborted, and Major Zero told Anderson to throw the mask away. However, he was reluctant to do so, as he considered it to be an ingenious design (the first mask to "blink") and that it would be an insult to science to throw it away. Getting the lips to move though, was something he saw beyond anyone's ability.[5]
Operation Snake Eater
- See also: Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater
As a member of FOX, Donald Anderson was given the codename "Sigint" in reference to the military term "SIGINT", or Signal Intelligence. Though he did not participate directly in the Virtuous Mission of August 1964, Sigint did supply Major Zero with notes regarding the anti-personnel sensor, the motion detector, and the active sonar.[6]
A week later, Sigint was formally introduced to Naked Snake at the beginning of Operation Snake Eater. He provided Snake with detailed information on weaponry, machinery, camouflage and gadgetry, having invented, among others things, the active sonar and motion detector that Snake would use during his mission. Sigint also suggested useful tactics in his battles against enemy forces, supplying intel on the Spetsnaz GRU and the Cobra Unit, such as the latter group's microbombs. After Snake's confrontation with The Sorrow, Sigint explained to him that the former Cobra had actually died two years earlier in Tselinoyarsk during a fight with The Boss. He later gave advice to Snake on the use of C3, when the latter headed to Groznyj Grad to destroy the Shagohod.
Following Operation Snake Eater's success, Sigint attended Snake's award ceremony at Langley, in which Snake received the Distinguished Service Cross from President Lyndon B. Johnson along with the "Big Boss" title. He expressed concern when Snake walked away from the room without uttering a word.
Post-Snake Eater
In 1965, Sigint joined ARPA and took part in the development of ARPAnet.

At some point between 1965-1970, he was also involved in two projects involving making soldiers go through a mission without eating for five days (codenamed "Metabolism Dominance") and making soldiers fight without sleeping, as well as various development projects relating to GPS satellites, unmanned aerial vehicles, a human cannon for Special Forces operatives to be launched to the top of a building, and an aircraft resembling a UFO.
San Hieronymo Incident
- Main article: San Hieronymo Incident
In November 1970, Sigint was contacted at ARPA by Naked Snake, after escaping imprisonment by the now-renegade FOX Unit, on the San Hieronymo Peninsula. With Major Zero having been charged with treason for the unit's rebellion, Sigint warned Snake that Para-Medic and he would be court-martialed if Snake could not disprove that they were accomplices. He informed Snake that a Green Berets squad had been sent to the peninsula to help, but Snake revealed that they had been ambushed and eliminated by FOX, having previously met the sole surviving member Roy Campbell. Sigint then suggested that Snake recruit some allies for his cause, given the low morale of some of the local Red Army troops.
Following Snake's success, Sigint greeted him with Para-Medic and Zero on an airport runway when he returned to America, all having been cleared of treason.
|Non-"Metal Gear Saga" information ends here.
The Patriots
Sigint along with Para-Medic, Big Boss (Naked Snake), Ocelot and EVA were recruited by Zero as one of the founding members of the Patriots. After his recruitment, Sigint used ARPAnet (the Internet's precursor) to plan their later virtual control over the world. ARPA was also in charge of much of the Patriots' developmental plans.
In 1974, Sigint felt that using AIs themselves to control humanity was better than Hot Coldman's AI weapons. When Zero became crippled by parasites commissioned by XOF commander Skull Face, Zero delegated his leadership of the Patriots to Sigint. For a time however, Skull Face wrested control of Cipher from Sigint, only regaining it after the former's death at the hands of Diamond Dogs led by Venom Snake.
By 2000, he created his brainchildren: the AIs (TR, TJ, AL, GW and JD) that were set in maintaining the Patriots' "set of norms" as Zero's successors.
Metal Gear REX project
In 2002, Donald Anderson became the office chief of DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency). As an advocate of the nuclear retaliation theory and having been heavily bribed by Kenneth Baker, he funded the Metal Gear REX project as a joint effort with ArmsTech using part of the Pentagon's black budget. For several years, regular payments in the tens of thousands of dollars had been made to the corporate account of a dummy company for which the DARPA Chief's wife ostensibly acted as a consultant. REX's development was also initiated to overcome a global trend of military downsizing.
Shadow Moses Incident
- Main article: Shadow Moses Incident
In February 2005, Donald Anderson and Kenneth Baker visited Shadow Moses Island, where Metal Gear REX conducted a rail gun testing exercise. Although he intended to deliver the exercise data to the U.S. Secretary of Defense, he and Baker were taken hostage during a revolt initiated by FOXHOUND. Due to Anderson's cranial implants, Psycho Mantis's mind reading abilities were rendered useless during interrogation.[7] When Anderson refused to divulge his detonation codes for REX, as his mental defenses were reinforced by hypnotherapy,[8] Revolver Ocelot "botched" the torture and killed the DARPA Chief.
After death
Anderson's death was covered by Ocelot as an accident which deprived his FOXHOUND comrades of the DARPA Chief's code. As a result, FOXHOUND commander Liquid Snake arranged for Decoy Octopus to take Anderson's place as a hostage to trick Solid Snake into revealing of an alternate method of activating Metal Gear REX. Snake later found the real Anderson's decomposing corpse while held in Ocelot's captivity but was not aware of the switch until Vulcan Raven revealed it to him. Having been Jim Houseman's personal friend, Anderson was the only person who the Secretary of Defense had intended to save. After the revolt, Ocelot reported to Solidus Snake that the DARPA Chief was purposefully killed because he knew of Ocelot's true identity and motives.
During the Guns of the Patriots Incident in 2014, Big Mama (EVA) revealed to Old Snake (Solid Snake) that the deaths of Dr. Clark (Para-Medic) in 2003 and Donald Anderson (Sigint) in 2005 doubled as a desire to weaken Zero's faction within the Patriots that stood in opposition to Big Boss's faction.
Personality and traits
During Operation Snake Eater, Sigint was shown to be jovial and energetic. He was friendly to Snake and even congratulated him on being given the title of "Big Boss" by patting him on the shoulder though Snake was too distraught to respond.
Sigint's personal data as of 1964 revealed that: his eyesight was 20/16; his blood type was "O"; he had no prior illnesses; his favorite hobby was playing basketball; his favorite food was buffalo wings; his least favorite food was fish and chips; his primary technological interest was computers; his favorite animals were cats; his favorite liquor was beer; his favorite UMA was the [Abominable] Snowman; his favorite UFO was the Adamski type; and the total number of written apologies he provided during that year was 21.[1]
Although his knowledge with technology, weapons, and camouflage patterns were second to none, he did have some difficulty seeing differences between similar objects, like cigarettes and cigars, chocolate chip cookies and scones, or snack and afternoon tea. When corrected, he usually justified his error by claiming they were the "same thing," to the protests of his comrades. This once got him into trouble with Major Zero, which resulted in Zero giving him a long lecture on the history of the concept of afternoon tea (a lecture that Sigint implied happened before).
During his early career in the CIA and ARPA, Sigint shaved his head bald[1] and often wore a black baseball cap with the words "U.S. Team FOX" emblazoned on the front.
Technologies developed
- EZ Gun
- Motion detector
- Active sonar
- Raikov mask
- Combat knife developed for Operation Snake Eater
(discarded by Naked Snake because it was inconveniently designed)[9]
- Peace Walker Project AI weapons (indirectly)
- The Patriots' AIs (AL, GW, JD, TJ, and TR)
- Metal Gear REX
Unconfirmed history
|The following information has been detailed in official Konami-licensed media, written by various external authors. Its status in the Metal Gear canon is unconfirmed.[?]
By the time of Operation Snake Eater, Sigint was also a member of the NSA, which is where he had become familiar with cutting-edge electronic reconnaissance technology.[10]
After a period of strategizing for the United States government during the Cold War, Donald Anderson worked for the CIA for at least ten years and was awarded the Intelligent Star Badge for his duties.[11]
Behind the scenes
Metal Gear Solid
Donald Anderson was originally stated to be in his 50s during the time of Metal Gear Solid, which is set in early 2005.[3] In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, he was retconned to be a decade older, when it was revealed that his character was the same person as Sigint, born in late 1939.[1]
A picture of Anderson can be seen in the Commander's room in Metal Gear Solid.
In the Metal Gear Solid: Official Mission Handbook, Anderson's marital status is given as single.[11] However, this was retconned in Nastasha Romanenko's In the Darkness of Shadow Moses: The Unofficial Truth, where it is stated that he had been married until his death.[4]
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
According to the script for Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, the Cyborg Ninja (Olga Gurlukovich) was to have spoken to Raiden in Donald Anderson's voice, while discussing how the PAN card operated, mirroring his dialogue from Metal Gear Solid.[12] However, this was not implemented in the final version.
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Calling Sigint on the radio causes some humorous results. He comments on almost everything Snake can equip, along with lectures about much of the equipment Snake encounters; this includes a comedic conversation concerning the cardboard box, and a lecture on the real-life shortcomings of a bipedal armored vehicle after Snake has encountered Aleksandr Leonovitch Granin (which is ironic because Anderson would later fund the Metal Gear REX project). Although Sigint will speak about the Patriot and other bonus items procured by the player, he never comments on the infinity face paint. For a full list of conversations, see here.
Due to a possible translation error in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater, when the player wears the Cold War uniform and contacts Sigint, he will say that enemy soldiers will not shoot Naked Snake from behind. However, it is actually the reverse that is true, as soldiers will not shoot Snake from the front, but will do so from behind, as those are the respective locations of the Soviet flag and the American flag.
It is possible that Sigint was the person who developed the rechargeable batteries for the active sonar, motion detector, and anti-personnel sensor, due to having created the first two devices. Additionally, a comment from Para-Medic about the batteries' developer being "pretty strange," during the Virtuous Mission, is similar to a description of Sigint given by Major Zero, in regards to the Raikov Mask, when contacted by Snake about it.
If the player contacts Sigint shortly after Naked Snake wakes up from his nightmare, Sigint will explain that he had an even worse nightmare where his hometown and everyone he knew was "turned into shit" by a "tank-shaped big pile of crap" via its "turd missiles." The dream, fecal references aside, foreshadows their eventual creations of Metal Gears.
Sigint appears in the Secret Theater movie Metal Gear S..., where he replaces Naked Snake in many of the game's cutscenes, just beating Jack to the punch on storyline-driven events such as fighting Ocelot and meeting up with, and being seduced by EVA.
According to leaked character sheets for Metal Gear Solid 3, Sigint's appearance was based on various characters played by African American actor Will Smith.[10]
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
In Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops, the player is given the option to recruit Sigint. This section details how the recruitment takes place.
After Snake is rescued from the Guest House (and rescues Raikov, if the resistance managed to find and place a Spy Unit in the Western Wilderness and chooses to rescue him), Snake goes over to the Communications Base and contacts Sigint. Sigint deduces that Snake is having trouble with the mission, and Snake confirms this. Snake explains that while he did manage to recruit some of the enemy forces, he does admit that they are chronically short of gear, as they are handling several weapons for the first time. Sigint tells Snake that it isn't surprising as not all of the soldiers are trained in equipment as Snake. However, he does have sympathy for the predicament, as it is tough to fight in that condition, as the soldiers are most likely not inspecting or managing their gear properly. Snake explains that their neither inspecting nor managing their gear properly is exactly the reason as to why Snake contacted Sigint in the first place, and he was wondering if he could give advice. Sigint, however, explains to Snake that the subject matter is far too complex to merely give advice over the radio.
He explains that the soldiers would need an experienced instructor to come down to the San Hieronymo Peninsula to teach them. He also reveals that the same instructor has to have knowledge on Soviet equipment, as well as how to use it. More importantly, he has to arrive for San Hieronymo without someone within the CIA or the Pentagon brass noticing. After explaining this, Sigint suddenly realizes he's that kind of person. Snake then realizes that Sigint wants to come down to the peninsula. Sigint explains that he's well versed in every single kind of equipment known to the military forces: guns, gear, old technology, cutting-edge technology, American-made, Soviet-made, everything. Snake is unsure, as the situation may not be well suited for him. Sigint explains that he probably doesn't have much of a choice but to help, anyways, as these are desperate times, although he also admits that he also wants to see the new CIA weapon.
Shortly thereafter, Sigint manages to find a method of transportation to the San Hieronymo Peninsula, and arrives at the town. However, he also ends up taking evasive maneuvers in case an Alert is triggered. Snake manages to get to Sigint without triggering an Alert and, after briefly talking with Roy Campbell, escorts him to the truck.
Recruiting Sigint is the only way to freely access his radio frequency.
In an optional radio conversation with Sigint, he will explain to Snake about a project that he is involved in, called the Metabolic Dominance, which involved getting soldiers to not eat or sleep for weeks to avoid getting distracted on the battlefield. Snake states that it's the worst idea he has ever heard. This was an actual DARPA project, although it actually occurred in 2004, roughly three and a half decades after the game's events.[13] Similarly, in another optional radio conversation, Sigint will give a list of various projects ARPA is undergoing to some soldiers, which are GPS Satellites, Unmanned Weapons, a human cannon for use by special forces to get to the top of a building, and an aircraft that flies around in a similar fashion to a UFO. However, after Sigint mentioned the human cannon, the soldiers stopped taking Sigint seriously, and hung up when he mentioned the UFO aircraft.
- "An expert in weapons, equipment, and cutting edge technology, his code name is short for "Signals Intelligence." Unable to find a job due to discrimination, he was invited by Major Zero to join FOX. Also vice president of the unofficial UMA Finders Club."
- ―Official description in Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops Plus
Along with Para-Medic, Major Zero and Ocelot, Sigint's appearance within the storyline of Portable Ops is restricted to the radio, and the animated comic style cutscenes. His in-game model is only used once he has been recruited, an event of unknown status to the game's canonical story due to Sigint greeting Snake upon his return to the United States. Like Para-Medic, Sigint received a new model for Portable Ops.
Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
Donald Anderson makes a cameo appearance as a "ghost" near the Tank Hangar's cargo door shaft's entrance. His appearance as a "ghost" is based on his face portrait. In addition, one of his lines from Metal Gear Solid 3, "I am THE expert on weapons, equipment and cutting-edge technology" is the name of a trophy with the Metal Gear Solid 4 trophy patch, unlocked after collecting every single weapon and item in the game (excluding password-exclusive unlockables).
Prior to the release of Metal Gear Solid 4, it was believed that Sigint and Donald Anderson were two different characters. Although the similiarities between the two characters were alluded in previous games, it wasn't until Act 3 of Metal Gear Solid 4 when Big Mama reveals to Old Snake the history of the Patriots that the two were revealed to be one.
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker
Although Sigint doesn't directly appear in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, he is mentioned by Kazuhira Miller during a phone call to Cipher (Zero), saying that Sigint's interpretation is that "machines will just be machines."
Metal Gear Solid V
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes
Donald Anderson appears in the "Déjà Vu" mission of Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes. He is found by Big Boss in the cage where Chico would be found in the main game, shortly before succumbing to FOXDIE, should the player be using the Classic Snake skin. His younger self also appears in the Ground Zeroes app as an officer character in the Mother Base Developer. He is unlocked by achieving the Fastest Neutralisation of Enemies trial on Ground Zeroes mission by completing it within 9 minutes while connected to the app.
Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
Donald Anderson is mentioned in several tapes during Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain. One has Zero mentioning Donald to Ocelot after Skull Face's first wave of plans, and another mentions Anderson when Ocelot tells Venom Snake about Cipher's current condition.

On November 5, 1688, William of Orange, Protestant ruler of the Dutch Republic, landed at Torbay in Devon with a force of twenty thousand men. Five months later, William and his wife, Mary, were jointly crowned king and queen after forcing James II to abdicate. Yet why has history recorded this bloodless coup as an internal Glorious Revolution rather than what it truly was: a full-scale invasion and conquest by a foreign nation?The remarkable story of the relationship between two of Europe's most important colonial powers at the dawn of the modern age, Lisa Jardine's Going Dutch demonstrates through compelling new research in political and social history how Dutch tolerance, resourcefulness, and commercial acumen had effectively conquered Britain long before William and his English wife arrived in London.

Among people at high risk for diabetes who get very little exercise, those who manage to walk more throughout the day are less likely to actually develop the blood sugar disorder, according to a U.S. study.
Earlier studies have shown that walking more is tied to a lower risk of diabetes, but few studies have looked into precise measures of how many steps people take each day, said Amanda Fretts, lead author of the study and a researcher at the University of Washington in Seattle.

"Our finding wasn't surprising given that other studies have shown that even light activity is associated with a lower risk of diabetes," Fretts wrote in an email to Reuters Health.
To get a better sense of the potential benefits of walking, Fretts and her colleagues asked more than 1,800 people to wear a pedometer for a week to tally the number of steps they typically took each day.
All of them came from native American communities in Arizona, Oklahoma and North and South Dakota that are known to have low physical activity levels and high rates of diabetes.

Lima's got his history wrong. Matti Bower hasn't been mayor for the last 14 years (although -- at times -- it SEEMS she's been). She's been mayor for the last 6 years and commissioner 8 years before that.

Every voter should take this group's endorsements with a grain of salt. No candidate should be elected merely because they're OK to the LGBT community. Indeed, there are more pressing concerns and issues that demand that many of these incumbents that SAVE Dade endorsed be tossed out on their asses.

Rampant corruption and rewarding of city contracts to undeserving bidders are but two of those issues, and Gongora and Bower, in particular, have been incredibly disappointing on those.

I want Phil Levine to be my next mayor. And I'm supporting Micki Steinberg, Michael Grieco, and Roger Abramson for commission. And I'll be damned if I'm going to vote to allow Matti to flout term limits in the city charter and stay at City Hall. Time to go, little lady. Go start a garden. Or knit sweaters. Anything. Just GO.

Creative in Chicago has a "secret beach" where she and her husband go to collect bundles of driftwood. Isn't driftwood lovely? I really like the muted shades and smooth feel of it.
Bringing the driftwood home, Creative came up with a pretty amazing new way to display her find. She started by sketching a large shape–of a seahorse–onto cardboard. She cut out the posterboard, and began fitting the sticks of driftwood onto it, glueing them down as she went. The result was a this beautifully textural seahorse art that Creative promptly hung up on her wall!
