Found-Footage Fanboy Film 'Chronicle' is Aimlessly LostSubmitted by HollywoodChicago.com on February 4, 2012 - 12:37am
Rating: 2.0/5.0
CHICAGO – "Chronicle," which stars blah, blah and blah with a special appearance by blah (you wouldn't know these unknowns any way), is the latest found-footage film to find itself lost, lacking purpose and devoid of a cohesive plot. This film's fanboy ejaculate loves you short time as it spews the buildup of what could be interpreted as a "story" and ultimately ends without one.

Community Matters
Posted by Staff Writer on April 9, 2012
At Minnesota School of Business-St. Cloud, we take the mission of WE CARE to heart. And evidence of that caring is never more striking than at the beginning of a new quarter as we plan our calendar of events.
We start off the spring quarter by inviting community partners onto campus to participate in a Volunteer Fair. Open to the public, it gives our students and community members the opportunity to meet representatives of a variety of community organizations and to learn of the volunteer and service experiences available to them. As a bonus, it is a wonderful way to add to the resume!
A series of We Care events follows, including staff planting a tree in honor of Arbor Day and our second annual team for the Relay for Life in central Minnesota to benefit the American Cancer Society.
We have three events to include our active military students and community veterans: participation in Stand Down and Armed Forces Day, both at the St. Cloud Armory, and later in May we host a Warrior Resource Day on campus.
We are especially proud of faculty and staff participating in Community Service Day this year in activities at Good Shepherd and with the city of St. Cloud, as well as a MSB Gives Back Day which will invite the public onto campus for a series of professional workshops.
Our annual Open House will also be sponsored on campus in June.
Students will be contributing to community efforts with a blood drive in partnership with the Red Cross and a bike rodeo in cooperation with the City of Watie Park.
It promises to be a busy, collaborative spring at MSB!

Read an Excerpt
U.S.S. Rhea
Star cluster NGC 6281
Stardate 57717
"Are we there yet?"
Lieutenant Commander Dawn Blair rolled her eyes at the question. "Are you going to ask that question every morning, Trys?"
"At least until we get there," T'Ryssa Chen replied, brushing her shaggy bangs out of her eyes. The gesture briefly revealed one of the elegantly pointed ears that she usually kept hidden under her shoulder-length black hair.
"You're just hoping to annoy me into letting you go on the away team," Blair said.
"Is it working?"
"Aw, come on, Dawn!" T'Ryssa moaned. "A whole cluster full of carbon planets, and you expect me to sit up here manning a boring old console?"
"Well, it might help if you remembered to call me 'Commander' when we're on duty, Lieutenant."
T'Ryssa's slanted eyebrows twisted in a way that Blair still sometimes found incongruous. She knew the younger woman had been raised by her human mother and had barely known her Vulcan father, but it was hard to shake off one's expectations of Vulcans. Which was probably why T'Ryssa defied those expectations so aggressively. "Right, I keep forgetting."
"On purpose. You always have to be such a nonconformist, Trys. That's why you're still a jg at twenty-six."
"I don't have to be," T'Ryssa countered. "I'm just very good at it. Gotta play to your strengths, you know."
She grew serious, or as close as she ever came. "And I'm not very good at sitting still in a cubbyhole, which is why you've gotta let me go down there and do some science! When we get there," she added. "Come on, Daw -- Commander Dawn, sir, ma'am -- " At the science officer's glare, she started over. "I mean, this is a Luna-class ship, right? All about crew diversity and cross-cultural synergies and exploring new approaches? Which means, in short, we're a ship full of nonconformists, and proud of it. Nonconforming -- ity -- ism -- is how we get the job done around here, right?" T'Ryssa bent her knees and clasped her hands in supplication. "So how about it, O Dawn, commander of my heart? Pleeeeeze?" She actually batted her eyelids.
Blair sighed, knowing T'Ryssa would keep this up until she relented. "Okay! Okay. Janyl can man the console, you can go on the away team and out of my hair."
"Oh, thank you, thank you! And such lovely hair it is, my commandress."
"Don't push it," Blair said. She was self-conscious about her hair, an unruly mass of cinnamon-brown waves that she usually kept confined within a bun or French braid while on duty, though Derek from environmental engineering insisted it was the most gorgeous thing he'd ever seen. Still, she couldn't help smirking at T'Ryssa's antics. Blair was too soft a touch to be any good at keeping her in line, which was probably to T'Ryssa's detriment in the long run. But giving her this away mission could help improve her career prospects. The half-Vulcan woman may not have been very good at practicing Starfleet discipline or respecting the chain of command, but she was a good scientist with a knack for understanding alien behaviors, sentient and otherwise. If the anomalous biosigns coming from the carbon planets of the NGC 6281 star cluster were correct and there was complex life there, she could be genuinely useful.
"Anyway," Blair went on, "we have to get there first."
T'Ryssa sagged. "I am so sick of this. We hit a zone of altered subspace, we get knocked out of warp, we spend five hours recalibrating the warp engines, we make it four hours before the structure of subspace changes, and we drop out of warp again. I swear I'm getting motion sick. Are we getting any closer to figuring out a pattern behind these distortions?"
Blair shook her head. "Only that they seem connected to the energy emissions from the carbon planets. And that those emissions seem to be coming from beneath the planets' surfaces, not localized around any of the biosigns."
"What about the cosmozoans?"
"We can't confirm that the energy readings from them are connected. It could be interference from the subspace distortions."
T'Ryssa sighed, and Blair shared in her disappointment. As their sister ship Titan had confirmed half a year back, spacegoing life-forms were prone to inhabit star-formation regions. The open clusters Rhea was currently surveying were located be-tween the Orion and Carina Arms, removed from the star-formation zones that defined the arms of the galaxy, but they were still fairly young (as all open clusters were, for eventually their components were scattered by gravitational interactions with other stars and nebulae). NGC 6281 itself, a clump of a hundred or so young stars sharing a volume of space barely fifteen light-years in diameter, was less than a quarter billion years old and still retained a faint remnant of the nebula from which it had formed, so finding spacegoing organisms here was not a complete surprise. But the cosmozoans detected in this particular cluster were as strange as the space they occupied, giving off anomalous energy readings and biosignatures and seeming to appear and disappear unpredictably from sensors. Getting close to any of them, however, would take considerable time unless Blair and chief engineer Lorlinna could devise some way to adjust the warp engines to cope with the inexplicably shifting subspace geometry of this cluster. If they were unable to do so, then Captain Bazel might decide to turn back after the survey of the nearest component of the cluster, NGC 6281-34, and move on to the next open cluster once the Rhea slogged its way back to normal space.
It all depended on what they found on System 34's planets and whether it was exciting or mysterious enough to warrant surveying any of the other systems in the cluster. But it would be at least another day before they reached that system, a system they could reach in a few hours under normal circumstances.
Dawn Blair found herself agreeing with her friend's sentiment, if only in the privacy of her thoughts. Are we there yet?
T'Ryssa Chen hated going through the transporter. It wasn't that she was afraid of it or anything; rather, she was ticklish, and being transported felt like being tickled from the inside. People kept telling her she was imagining things, that there was no untoward sensation involved with transporting other than a slight tingling numbness, but she knew what she felt. Maybe it was a side effect of her hybrid nervous system; maybe all human-Vulcan blends had the same reaction but were too disciplined to admit it. Or maybe the transporter gods had just decided to pick on her. She tried to shake it off once she materialized, a convulsive move like she was trying to brush spiders off her body, but the heavy EV suit she wore hampered the movement.
Not that she regretted wearing the suit in this environment. NGC 6281-34 III, like most of the planetary bodies that long-range sensors had detected in the cluster, was a carbon planet: a world where carbon was the most abundant element in its mineral composition. In carbon-rich protoplanetary disks, graphite, carbides, and other carbon compounds tended to solidify sooner than the silicates that made up the bulk of normal planets, producing worlds with iron cores, carbide mantles, and crusts of graphite and diamond. The resultant surface chemistry was oxygen-poor, with tarry hydrocarbon seas and an atmosphere of carbon monoxide and methane.
And it looks about as inviting as it sounds, Trys thought as she looked around her through the helmet visor. The rocky ground on which they stood was dark and crumbly, like a carbonaceous asteroid. The depressions in the surface were filled with pools of tar, black against gray-brown. The hazy blue-green sky was smudged with clouds of graphite dust.
As First Officer Sekmal and the rest of the away team deployed their tricorders, T'Ryssa struck a pose as though planting an invisible flag and proclaimed, "I dub this planet Pencilvania!"
Sekmal turned to glare at her, raising an eyebrow in that way that Vulcans seemed to be specially trained for. "Explain."
"Pencil. You know. Old writing implement? Used graphite? It's why graphite's called that? Because people wrote with it?" Sekmal simply continued to glare until Trys sighed. "Never mind," she said, taking out her tricorder. Vulcans. For all their claims of emotionlessness, the Vulcans on Rhea were consistent in their disdain for Trys herself, as though her biology somehow required her to live up to their cultural standards. She could never see the logic in that.
"I thought it was funny," said Paul Janiss, smiling at her through his helmet. Trys gave him a wan smile of gratitude, knowing it was more likely that he just wanted to flatter her into sleeping with him again. Not that she wouldn't be interested in doing so, at least on a purely physical level, but she preferred more sincerity in her praise, and in her men.
"Anyway," Paul went on, "it's not like we're going to have any other fun on this dump of a planet. Bleakest hole I ever saw."
"Don't dismiss it so quickly," said Thyyshev zh'Skenat, the Andorian geologist. "As the galaxy ages and supernovae inject more carbon into the interstellar medium, the ratio of carbon planets to oxygen planets will increase. In a billion years or so, all new planets may be carbon worlds."
"Thanks, Thyyshev. You just gave me a reason to be glad I'm not immortal."
"How do you know?" Trys asked.
"Know what?"
"That you're not immortal? I mean, there's only one way to know for sure, isn't there?"
It took Paul a moment. "Oh! Good one."
"On the other hand," Trys went on as if he hadn't spoken, "there's no way to prove anyone really is immortal either. Just that they haven't died yet. Kind of a meaningless category, really. Maybe it needs a better name. Like 'mortality challenged.'"
Thyyshev's antennae twisted under his specially designed helmet. "Aren't you supposed to be doing your duty or something?"
"It's been known to happen." She consulted her tricorder, moving out from the group. "I still don't get how there could be any life here, though. The system's only a couple hundred million years old. If this planet weren't made of carbides and graphite, it'd probably still be molten."
"Many planets in young star systems are known to be inhabited," Sekmal pointed out. "Generally this is the result of terraforming and colonization. We may discover signs of an intelligent presence here as well."
"I'm not reading any life, intelligent or stupid," Trys told him. "No plants, no microbes. This reads as a brand-new, sterile planet, right out of the replicator."
Her tricorder naturally chose that moment to begin beeping. "Um. Except for those. New readings coming from somewhere over that ridge," she said, gesturing. "Not sure where they came from; they're well within range."
The tricorder beeped again, denoting a sudden strong signal behind her. T'Ryssa turned around --
And yelped. The life-form was practically right in front of her. It was an oddly amorphous being, pale gray and vaguely bipedal in shape, but with no evident legs, its lower half almost conical, like a long skirt or robe that flared at the bottom. It had upper-body protrusions roughly where a humanoid's arms would be, but they were merely flexible rods with winglike membranes attaching them to the sides of the trunk. The head, if it could be called that, was large and featureless. But it had senses of some sort, for it responded to T'Ryssa's surprised reaction with a similar rearing-back motion of its own, though its was slower and more stately.
"Uhh, Commander?" Paul said. Trys looked around to see that more such creatures had appeared near the other members of the team.
"Make no sudden moves," Sekmal said. Facing the entity before him, he raised his hand and offered it the Vulcan salute, insofar as his EV suit glove permitted. "Peace and long life," he said. "I am Commander Sekmal of the U.S.S. Rhea, representing the United Federation of Planets." The entity raised its arm, or wing, in a similar motion but made no sound. "We are on a mission of peaceful exploration. Can you understand me?"
The creatures gave no verbal response -- perhaps not surprising, since they had no mouths. Instead, they simply continued their loose mimicry of the away team's actions. "Great," Trys muttered. "Welcome to Mime World."
"Please limit yourself to constructive comments, Lieutenant," Sekmal said.
She glared. "Not much I can tell you, Commander. The readings on these...Mime Angels are bizarre. Their molecular composition -- it isn't normal living tissue. I'm not sure it's even biological. Carbon based, but not quite a match for this planet's chemistry." She moved in closer to the entity that shadowed her, peering curiously into its lack of a face. "No metabolic readings either. They're a match for ambient temperature. And their internal energy readings...I've never seen anything like them before."
"I have," Sekmal said. "They resemble the quantum energy emanations from the interior of this planet. There are faint fluctuations in that quantum field that appear to be synchronized with the entities' appearances and actions."
"Hmm," Trys said. "So maybe they are connected to it af -- Whoa!" She had turned back to her Mime Angel and been surprised to see that it suddenly had a semblance of a face. Only a semblance, though, a smallish set of contours emulating eyes, nostrils, and mouth, static and unmoving. "Are you guys seeing this too?"
The others confirmed that their Angels had also manifested masklike faces. Trys turned back to hers to see that its eyes were wider, as though mirroring her surprise. And yet she still saw no overt movement in its features. She tried making faces at it, grinning, winking, sticking out her tongue. Its own features transformed subtly as she watched, not through any sort of muscular movement but more by dissolving from one expression to the next, or through a subtle change of aspect she couldn't follow with her eyes. She was reminded of the masks of Japanese Noh theater, the way their static features could seem to transform as the performers changed the angle of their heads, due to the clever way the masks were carved. "I was wrong," T'Ryssa said. "They aren't Mime Angels." Her grin widened at the impending pun. "They're Noh Angels."
"Then what are they?" Paul asked without irony, decisively scuttling his chances of ever seeing her naked again.
Still, his question resonated. "What are you?" T'Ryssa whispered to her Noh Angel. It leaned forward, seeming to ask the same question of her.
"Rhea to away team!" The urgency in Captain Bazel's voice startled her out of her reverie.
"Sekmal here."
"Prepare for emergency beam-out!" Bazel commanded. "A ship has just dropped out of warp. Sensors say it's the Einstein."
Everyone froze. That name had become infamous since the Borg assault on Sector 001 back in June: the science vessel that had been assimilated by what was believed to be a dormant, depopulated Borg cube and had played a key role in its subsequent strike against Earth.
"But the Einstein was destroyed," Paul said.
"Believed destroyed," Bazel corrected. "That belief was wrong. It's not only intact...it's gotten bigger."
Captain Bazel stared goggle-eyed at the image on the screen -- not because he was alarmed but because, as a Saurian, he was always goggle-eyed. Certainly the sight of what had once been the Einstein -- its original contours now obscured under a blocky jumble of ill-matched ship parts grafted together by a network of conduits and structural members in Borg black and green -- sent at least two of his cardiac nodes racing. But Bazel had not survived seventy years in Starfleet by losing his cool.
"Please elaborate, Captain," Sekmal said. "You say it has grown larger?"
"Affirmative. It seems to have assimilated additional vessels, accreted them to its hull. We're attempting to elude them long enough to drop shields and beam you aboard, but their capabilities are unknown at this point. Stand by." Nuax, the Edoan flight controller, was working controls with all three hands as she tried to keep the planet between Rhea and the Borg vessel while still remaining in transporter range of the team.
He turned to Caithlin Tomei at tactical. "Extrapolate from the Borg's last known course and program a spread of torpedoes to arc through the atmosphere, hugging the planet. Keep the Borg from seeing them until the last possible moment." Tomei nodded and executed the order.
"Clean miss, sir," she announced a minute later. "No sign of impact."
"Sir!" Nuax called. But Bazel's wide field of vision already let him see what was on the screen: the former Einstein was coming over the curve of the planet on a different, tighter trajectory than before, on an intercept course with Rhea. There was no chance to drop shields.
But then the shields proved moot anyway as a green shimmer heralded the arrival of half a dozen Borg drones on the bridge. These drones were different from the standard type, their bionic components sleeker and more compact, their movements faster and more aggressive. As Bazel dove from his command chair to avoid the cutting arm that swung down at him, he recalled the reports that the immense Borg vessel that had taken the Einstein had employed a new, evolved form of assimilation technology. He realized that experience would likely no longer apply where these drones were concerned.
Indeed, when the security guards opened fire on the invaders, they found that the Borg's strategy had already changed. Before, it was always possible to take out one or two drones with phaser fire before they adapted and their personal shields kicked in. But these drones' shields went up the moment the first phaser beams were fired. They aren't just reacting -- they're anticipating.
"General distress signal!" Bazel called. "Alert Starfleet!" As the guards recalibrated their phasers to find a frequency that could penetrate the shields, Bazel went on the offensive, striking out physically at the nearest drone. That was a move they apparently hadn't anticipated, for the drone soon fell to the deck, its neck snapped by Saurian strength. Bazel noted that the drone he'd just killed belonged to no species he recognized, proving that the ship had assimilated new blood over the past few months. He knew it shouldn't make any difference, but he felt a stab of relief that he hadn't killed a fellow Starfleet officer.
But Bazel had no time to reflect. Another drone was approaching from the right, trying to come at him from behind but failing to account for Bazel's wide field of vision. He ducked and whirled, taking out the drone's legs from under it with a spinning kick. He caught its head as it fell and drove it into the deck. A second blow ended its ordeal.
The remaining drones kept up their assault, and reports came in over the comm that more drones were attacking engineering, environmental control, and other key areas of the ship. Bazel saw Nuax and T'Hala fall before the drones, slain rather than assimilated, in keeping with these Borg's new aggressiveness. Moments later, the lights flickered and died. Bazel smiled grimly. Can drones see in the dark? he wondered as he popped out the filtered contact lenses that let his nocturnally adapted eyes function in normal Starfleet lighting conditions. Looking around, he saw the rest of the bridge crew floundering in the dark and realized it was up to him.
Bazel ran for the tactical console, where Tomei was under attack by a drone. He tore it free from her and sent it flying, but then he saw the puncture marks in her neck. He blinked his inner eyelids closed, filtering out what humans called the "visible" light so he could concentrate solely on the infrared portion of his visual range. Already, Caithlin's body temperature was dropping, the cold spreading out from her neck as the nanoprobes surged through her bloodstream and self-replicated. Why assimilate her instead of killing? he wondered, supposing they wished to gain her tactical knowledge. In any case, he had to end this soon if there was any chance of saving her and the others.
He turned to the tactical console and prepared to trigger a release of anesthezine gas. He wasn't sure it would work on the drones, but it was worth a try. And if it failed, at least he would still be conscious, his natural respiratory filters protecting him. He would still be able to try other options.
Though if this failed, Bazel realized, his only option might be the autodestruct system. At least he could try to take the former Einstein with him.
But then a phaser beam struck the tactical console. It exploded in his face, the flare of heat blinding his thermal vision. Ignoring the searing pain, he snapped back the nictitating membranes to let visible light in again -- only to see the phaser-wielding drone advancing on him as two more closed in on his flanks.
He struck out again, but he was slowed by his injuries. The drones caught him and he felt cold spikes bite into his neck. With his last free thought, he prayed that the away team could somehow survive this...and somehow survive the toxic conditions down on the planet long enough for rescue to come.
T'Ryssa Chen had never taken much interest in her Vulcan heritage, feeling that the repression of emotion would take all the fun out of life. But then she listened to the screams coming over the comm channel from Rhea. And then a group of Borg drones materialized around the away team and the Noh Angels, and T'Ryssa had to watch as Thyyshev and Paul drew their phasers and were promptly cut down. And for the first time in her life, she wished she knew how to stop herself from feeling.
Sekmal ordered a tactical retreat, firing uselessly at the shielded drones and barking, "Move!" with un-Vulcan intensity to break T'Ryssa from her paralysis. It was too late for him; a drone caught up to him and impaled him on a blade that extended from its arm. "Go!" he ordered with his last breath.
Weeping equally for her two friends and the commander she couldn't stand, T'Ryssa started to run...but paused, turning to the Noh Angel nearest her.
"If you can understand me, please run," she urged it, knowing it was futile. It simply mimicked the grief and horror on her face, a mere mask over an unknowable interior. As Trys ran, she looked back to see a drone closing on it. The Angel changed, its face disappearing from her view and presumably manifesting on its far side to regard the drone. "No!" she cried as the drone plunged assimilation tubules into its hide...
And then removed them and tried again. And again. The Noh Angel regarded it curiously, bending its wing to nudge the drone's shoulder in mimickry, but showed no other change. Trys came to a halt, amazed by the scene.
And so she was taken by surprise by the drone that came up behind her. She felt the tubules pierce her suit and her skin before she could even reach for her phaser.
Why me? she wondered. The others had been killed; why was she being assimilated?
Because you didn't fight back in time. Because you froze, and you ran. Just like you always run.
T'Ryssa felt the chill surging through her veins, felt her consciousness slipping away, and longed for a place she could run to. A place where she could be safe...
As awareness gradually returned, T'Ryssa didn't much like what she was becoming aware of. Her head was spinning, and half of her body was tingling like it did in the transporter, only worse, while the other half simply ached. She gradually realized she was lying in something that felt like damp grass against her skin. Groggily, she opened her eyes, blinking against the bright daylight. A dark shape moved in front of her, shading her from the light. "Thanks, I..."
Her eyes focused, and she saw a dragon peering down at her.
Yelping, T'Ryssa leaped off the ground, startling the large purplish creature into emitting a piercing, ascending shriek. Not wanting to risk the dragon's ire, Trys jogged back from the shoreline of the lake, knowing the legless creature could not easily travel on land. If it tried to use its wings and fly at her, she could retreat to the nearby tree line and --
"Wait a minute. What the hell am I doing on Maravel?" She looked down at herself. "And why am I naked?" The dragon merely opened its jagged beak and cawed again, offering no answer.
She remembered Rhea, the carbon planet, the Borg attack. She remembered the tubules piercing her shoulder. Looking at it, she saw two small puncture marks, still a livid green. So it was real! Was it? "How could I be here?" she went on aloud. "Wait a minute," she said, still talking to the dragon, which apparently no longer felt threatened, for it had folded its batlike wings and settled down to float at the edge of the lake, watching her with a stony gaze. In her childhood, during that all-too-brief year her mother had been posted here at the Starfleet research station, she had often come out to talk to the relatively docile lake dragons that lived near the colony, the ones that had learned they had nothing to fear from humanoids so long as they posed no threat. She had imagined that their stern demeanor masked an intelligence greater than what the scientists claimed, that they had cosmic wisdom to offer her if only she asked the right question in the right way. They had always made her feel oddly safe. Maybe because, unlike Lieutenant Commander Antigone Chen, they had always taken the time to listen to the musings and complaints of a ten-year-old human-Vulcan girl.
"Wait a minute," she repeated. "Unimatrix Zero. I read about this. Some people who get assimilated, they have a mutation, they can create a virtual dreamworld when they regenerate." The dragon cocked its angular head with seeming skepticism. "No, you're right," she told it. "That's right, the queen shut that down. Or Janeway did, I forget. Same difference.
"So could this be some kind of private Unimatrix Zero? My own little regenerative dreamworld between shifts killing and assimilating people?" She looked down again at the welts on her shoulder. "Then why am I in so much pain?" She tried to will it away, with no luck. She tried to will herself into the forest elf garb she'd imagined herself wearing as she'd played in these woods as a child, green and brown skins with a bow and quiver strapped to her back. But her lithe body stayed resolutely nude.
She sighed. "So either I've got a worse imagination than I thought," she told the dragon, "or I'm really here on Maravel. But how is that possible? I was a hundred sectors away! With a terminal case of Borgdom!"
The dragon let out another shriek, rearing back its spiny neck, and wriggled its boat-shaped lower body to turn itself around, using its wings as paddles. Then it flapped its wings forcefully and rose from the water. "Aww, c'mon, it wasn't that bad!" Trys called.
But then she heard the sound of air car engines closing in on her, along with transporter whines as people materialized in a perimeter around her, just beyond the giant sequoialike trees. Remembering she was naked, Trys moved to cover herself...but then stopped. Okay, either I'm dreaming, or there's something really big going on here and I'm the only one who can tell them about it. Either way, I might as well do it with style.
So she strode forward casually, naked and unashamed, to greet the Starfleet security contingent as it burst from the trees. "Hi, guys!" she called. "Have you seen my boyfriend? Middle Eastern guy, goes by Adam? You can't miss him..."

What's Best: eLearning or Conventional Training Approaches?
A big question that we are most often asked to answer: Is online safety training as effective as instructor-led safety training? After wrestling with this question for the past 10 years or more, we believe that neither instructor-led training or asynchronous elearning is inherently better than the other.

The reason we're getting all the players from the original trilogy back is that the film is based on Days of Future Past. You need them there to tell this particular story. I don't see the studio financing an X-Men movie starring Anna Paquin, Ellen Page & Shawn Ashmore. Even if Jackman was in the picture I just don't see them doing that.
I think after Days of Future Past we'll get another X-Men movie three years down the line that continues the story that ended in '73. I doubt we'll see the cast of the original trilogy in that film but rather young versions of Cyclops, Jean Grey & Storm and I think like this film it will jump forward a decade & be set in the 80s.
Do you realize that FOX brought back the original cast to appeal to casual viewers especially how First Class became the lowest-grossing X-Men movie yet at domestic box-office.
If FOX is so confident with the First Class cast headlining their own movie, they wouldn't bring back the OT actors.

I doubt the opening monologue would be something like that. Its probably going to be a speech just like in X1/X2.
My favorite trailer for a X-Men movie is the one for X2, that featured their codenames, then the tagline "its time for those who are different to stand united" and the background music just gave me chills! I hope DOFP gets a trailer like that! I would be so thrilled for that!
Don't let the darkness, come and hold me.

Facebook may try to compete with Steam, or at least win back revenue lost when casual gaming shifted to mobile. Today Facebook formally announced it's working with game engine Unity to build a dedicated, downloadable desktop gaming platform, plus it's broadening the Facebook.com experience for gamers. Both will allow publishers the offer their iOS and Android games on desktop in addition to the casual games Facebook is known for, while the desktop PC app could support more hardcore games.
Starting today, game developers can apply for instant access to a limited alpha to a version of Unity 5.4 that will allow them to build and export games to Facebook's website and desktop app. Previously, Unity developers had to work with a more code-intensive Facebook SDK to bring games to its web platform. Facebook has also worked with Unity to support Oculus VR game development
Facebook was once the home for social gaming, earning a peak of $257 million in payment taxes in Q4 2014. That's slipped to $197 million last quarter as gamers moved to mobile app stores. But Facebook still has 650 million users who play games each month, and it's paid out over $8 billion to game developers since 2010. The new and revamped Facebook gaming platforms could restrengthen the social network's control over a huge part of how people use the internet.
Facebook first announced its foray into a downloadable desktop platform in May. It was calling the test the "Facebook Games Arcade" though the company has ditched that name and now just refers to it as the "new Facebook PC gaming platform". You can watch a demo of Facebook Games Arcade here:
Facebook was apprehensive to reveal details about the specs and plans for the PC platform, but here's what we know from talking with Facebook and Unity:
It will run on different types of PCs, not just Windows like the Games Arcade test
The desktop platform provides a distraction-free gaming environment uncluttered by other Facebook features like the News Feed
It will support the traditional casual Facebook games, mobile games ported from iOS and Android, and Unity says it will likely support more "immersive" hardcore games like you typically see on Steam or consoles, as there's no plans for a limit on genres or specs right now
It will offer discoverability so gamers can find titles to play
Facebook will provide a revenue split for game publishers, though it's unclear if it will deviate from the industry standard 30% it's used in the past
Facebook's enhanced web and new PC platform could allow it to compete with Valve's Steam marketplace. Though Facebook might start by focusing on more casual titles rather than the big console blockbusters, it could move in that direction eventually.
Meanwhile, these platforms' support for mobile could allow Facebook to earn taxes on mobile games without owning its own mobile operating system.

What do flashlights, the British invasion, black cats, and seesaws have to do with computers? In CODE, they show us the ingenious ways we manipulate language and invent new means of communicating with each other. And through CODE, we see how this ingenuity and our very human compulsion to communicate have driven the technological innovations of the past two centuries. Using everyday objects and familiar language systems such as Braille and Morse code, author Charles Petzold weaves an illuminating narrative for anyone who's ever wondered about the secret inner life of computers and other smart machines. It's a cleverly illustrated and eminently comprehensible story-and along the way, you'll discover you've gained a real context for understanding today's world of PCs, digital media, and the Internet. No matter what your level of technical savvy, CODE will charm you-and perhaps even awaken the technophile within.
Charles Petzold has been writing about Windows programming for 25 years. A Windows Pioneer Award winner, Petzold is author of the classic Programming Windows, the widely acclaimed Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software, Programming Windows Phone 7, and more than a dozen other books.

PRESS DIGEST- Financial Times - May 26
May 26 The following are the top stories in the Financial Times. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.
* Weak earnings at Banco Bradesco weigh in Brazil * Mexican retailers group outlook lifts Walmex, Chedraui * Bovespa falls 1.87 pct, Mexico IPC up 0.74 pct By Danielle Assalve SAO PAULO, Jan 28 Brazilian stocks fell to a six-week low on Monday after weak earnings from Banco Bradesco fed concerns about sluggish economic growth, while Mexican stocks hit a record high on a cheery outlook for retailers. Brazil's benchmark Bovespa stock index shed 1.87 percent to 60,027.07, its lowest since Dec. 18. It was the biggest one-day percentage drop since mid-November. The Bovespa has slumped 5 percent from a high early this year amid worries that Latin America's top economy is struggling even after the central bank slashed interest rates last year to a record low, while inflation is now drifting higher. "There are many local uncertainties and the outlook is not very good due to the weaker dynamics of the Brazilian economy," said Newton Rosa, chief economist at SulAmerica Investimentos. The shares of Banco Bradesco SA fell 3.07 percent after quarterly profit at Brazil's No. 2 private sector bank fell short of analysts' estimates. The news weighed on shares of rival financial institutions, with state-controlled Banco do Brasil SA down 2.72 percent and Itaú Unibanco Holding SA, Brazil's largest non-government bank, falling 2.63 percent. The Bovespa index slumped more than 3 percent in the last two sessions after it failed several attempts to break resistance near 62,000 points in the last three weeks.

MCT1 inhibition impairs proliferation of glycolytic breast cancer cells co-expressing MCT1 and MCT4 (show SLC16A3 Antibodies) via disruption of pyruvate rather than lactate export.
This study demonstrated that MCT1 was up regulation in ipsilateral site of brain afeter cerebral ischemia.
The soleus, liver and heart were the main tissues that showed improved the MCT1 mRNA expression, indicating its important role in controlling MLSS concentration in mice.
Exercise-induced changes in tumour LDH-B (show LDHB Antibodies) and MCT1 expression are modulated by oestrogen-related receptor alpha in breast cancer-bearing BALB/c mice
Chronic lactate administration after exercise increases MCT1 protein expression, which can be involved in the regulation of the observed increase in muscle glycogen (show GYS1 Antibodies) storage after exercise training.
This study showed that mouse MCT1, MCT2 (show SLC16A7 Antibodies), and MCT4 (show SLC16A3 Antibodies) are expressed in the PNS. While DRG neurons express MCT1, myelinating Schwann cells.
These data for the first time demonstrate that MCT1 is critical for regeneration of both sensory and motor axons in mice following sciatic nerve crush
Study demonstrated that PTEN (show PTEN Antibodies) loss and MCT-1 induction synergistically promoted the neoplastic multinucleation via the Src (show SRC Antibodies)/p190B (show ARHGAP5 Antibodies) signaling activation.
in Parkinson's disease, the levels of MCT1, MCT2 (show SLC16A7 Antibodies) and GLUT1 (show SLC2A1 Antibodies) is not changed following dopaminergic neurodegeneration
results suggest that a reduction in mitochondria is a result, rather than the cause, of the metabolic deficiency observed in Basigin-null mice, and likely occurs because of reduced metabolic activity in the absence of MCT1 expression.
After indirect co-culture, OP was increased in the BxPc-3 and Panc-1 cells; correspondingly, succinate dehydrogenase (show SDHA Antibodies), FH and MCT (show MCAT Antibodies) expression were increased. After the MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies)-specific inhibitor removed 'tumor-stromal' metabolic coupling, the migration and invasion abilities of the pancreatic cancer cells were decreased.
Data suggest that inhibition of mnocarboxylate transporters MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) and MCT4 (show SLC16A4 Antibodies) may have clinical relevance in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Results found that MCT (show MCAT Antibodies) contributes to endothelial cell growth and tube formation via up-regulation of angiopoietin-1 (show ANGPT1 Antibodies) expression suggesting that MCT (show MCAT Antibodies) plays an important role in pancreatic cancer angiogenesis and tumor growth via activating the angiopoietin-1 (show ANGPT1 Antibodies) pathway.
The targeting of MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) and PFKFB3 (show PFKFB3 Antibodies) regulated cell proliferation.
MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) expression associates with the SCC (show CYP11A1 Antibodies) type and metastatic behavior of AC, whereas MCT4 (show SLC16A4 Antibodies) expression concomitantly increases from in situ SCC (show CYP11A1 Antibodies) to invasive SCC (show CYP11A1 Antibodies) and is significantly associated with the AC type. Consistently, FOXM1 (show FOXM1 Antibodies) expression is statistically associated with MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) positivity in SCC (show CYP11A1 Antibodies), whereas the expression of FOXO3a (show FOXO3 Antibodies), a FOXM1 (show FOXM1 Antibodies) functional antagonist, is linked to MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) negativity
This study investigated MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) protein abundance in various human intestinal tissues.
MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) affects the plasma lactate decrease .
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) A1470T polymorphism and fat-free (show VPS51 Antibodies) mass in young Italian elite soccer players. The MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) T allele is associated with the percentage of fat-free (show VPS51 Antibodies) mass in young elite male soccer players.
MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) inhibition impairs proliferation of glycolytic breast cancer cells co-expressing MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) and MCT4 (show SLC16A4 Antibodies) via disruption of pyruvate rather than lactate export.
MCT1 (show CMA1 Antibodies) expression was not clearly associated with overall or disease-free survival. MCT4 (show SLC16A4 Antibodies) and CD147 expression correlate with worse prognosis across many cancer types. These results warrant further investigation of these associations.
Data indicate that monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs1-4) were all found to be expressed in brains of embryos, and were localized in both neurons and astrocyte.
This study confirmed age-dependent changes of MCT1 expression in the rumen epithelium of newborn calves and showed that its expression might be affected by liquid feed type.
These findings show that MCT 1 increases with the development of rumen function and also in adult animals MCT 1 may change with the feeding.
The expression and distribution of monocarboxylate transporter 1 along the gastrointestinal tract of calves suggest it may play a role in transport of short chain fatty acids and their metabolites.
The results show that monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) is a major route for short chain fatty acids (SCFA) efflux across the basolateral membrane of bovine large intestine and that it could play a role in the regulation of intracellular pH.
Data suggest that expression of MCT1 in intestinal mucosa can be altered by diet; here, expression of MCT1 is down-regulated in colonic mucosa by high-protein diet and appears to be linked to fermentation of dietary proteins by intestinal microbes.
MCT1-mRNA showed a higher expression in the ileum; feeding inulin-coated butyrate resulted in an increased ileal surface; delivery of butyrate to the colon requires a more resistant inulin-coating.
The protein encoded by this gene is a proton-linked monocarboxylate transporter that catalyzes the movement of many monocarboxylates, such as lactate and pyruvate, across the plasma membrane. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythrocyte lactate transporter defect. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Caterham F1 Team Show off Driving Skills, by Playing Soccer – Video
With the British Grand Prix kicking off this weekend, Caterham Formula One drivers Heikki Kovalainen and Vitaly Petrov decided to flex their driving skills in conjunction with the Queen Park Rangers (QPR) football team.
And by football, we mean soccer – since we're the only country that refers to it as such. Kovalainen and Petrov took Clint Hill, QPR's player of the year for the 2011-2012 season, and Djibril Cisse in a Caterham 7 sports car to show off what it can do with Formula One drivers behind the wheel. To tie it all together, the driver performed a stunt that involved sliding the rear end of the 7 to send a soccer ball into the back of a net.
The event was part of the Caterham Drive Experience, which hosts events all around the UK, allowing anyone with a driver's license to learn how to perform stunts such as drifting and doing donuts in one of the British automaker's sports cars.
"Wow, what an experience. You see these guys throwing an F1 car around on the TV but it's only when you're sitting next to them that it becomes real. They have unbelievable control behind the wheel and the ability both Heikki and Vitaly had to flip the front end to send the ball into the net was just incredible," said Hill.
Watch the video after the break.
