Alles Gute zum Geburtstag! Joyeux Anniversaire! Suk San Wan Keut! Sun Yat Fai Lok! Hartelijk gefeliciteerd! Felichan Naskightagon! And Happy Birthday to Google in the other 93-plus languages it speaks!
As the web search engine Google celebrates its 10th birthday it is hard to imagine life online without it. It has become such an indispensable tool that we don't just search for something any more, we "google" it, as recognised by the Oxford English Dictionary in 2006. What many people don't realise is that Google's rise to become one of the most successful search engines on the web today is due to the mathematical algorithm PageRank, devised by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page, the founders of Google. This algorithm not only decides which webpages match your search criteria (which all search engines do), but also which are more important and returns these at the top of the results.Read more...

More evidence of the intrinsic beauty of maths, this time shown in a lovely slideshow from the BBC, narrated by mathematician Lasse Rempe from the University of Liverpool.
Rempe works in the area of dynamical systems: systems that change over time and can be found everywhere from the stockmarket to the weather. In the slideshow, he explains how dynamical systems can be generated from very simple polynomials yet produce extremely complex behaviour, and how these systems can be graphically represented by such beautiful images.
As John Barrow told us in our first image-enhanced Plus podcast Cosmic Imagery, mathematical images such as these have actually been responsible for changing science and how we see the world around us . So sit back with your coffee and enjoy the shows!

...and yesterday was brought to you by the number 54, thanks to the Mathematical Association of America's NumberADay blog. Every working day they post a number and a biography of its interesting properties.
Today's number 11,185,272 is the number of decimal digits in the 46th known Mersenne prime, discovered on Sept. 6, 2008 (you can read more in Prime record broken? on Plus).
54 might seems less significant, but in fact thanks to the MAA Plus now knows that it is the smallest number that can be written as the sum of 3 squares in 3 ways, the number of colored squares on a Rubik's cube, and is a nonadecagonal (19-gonal) number!

It's lunchtime, and I'm waiting in the cafe queue to buy a sandwich along with everyone else. What a lot of sandwiches... Imagine if everyone piled their sandwiches one on top of another... I wonder how high the mighty tower of sandwiches might be? Let's see... 60 million people in the UK, say 1 in 8 is having a sandwich right now, each sandwich might be about 3cm thick including filing, so that's... over 200km high!
You might say I'm thinking too much about sandwiches, but I'm actually exercising my number sense. Which, along with allowing me to make quick guesses about how big things are or how many there might be, also might be helping me get better at calculus and algebra. Researchers Michèle Mazzocco, Lisa Feigenson and Justin Halberda, from John Hopkins University, have shown that being good at formal mathematics is linked to having a good innate number sense. See, I'm not waiting in the sandwich queue, I'm studying!

As sporting glories continue in Beijing with the Paralympics taking up where the Olympics left off, many of us have marvelled at the architecture almost as much as at the sporting achievements. One of the Olympic venues, the National Aquatic Centre or Water Cube, seems to be sliced from a giant foam of bubbles, and it turns out mathematics is responsible for this amazing structure.

You can come out now, it's safe...
Well it's official, the first beam in the Large Hadron Collider at CERN has safely made its way around the 27km tunnel at around 1030 this morning, local time. It was a historic moment, the culmination of over 20 years' work building the biggest experiment the world has seen, and one that many hope will give us a glimpse into the beginnings of the universe and give experimental evidence to long-held theories fundamental to physics.
"It's a fantastic moment," said LHC project leader Lyn Evans, "we can now look forward to a new era of understanding about the origins and evolution of the universe."
Starting up a major new particle accelarator takes much more than just flipping a switch. Thousands of individual elements have to work in harmony and timings have to be synchronized to under a billionth of a second. The second beam was fired at around 2pm local time, and is now making its way around in the opposite direction. Over the next few weeks, as the people at the LHC learn how to drive their new toy, they will steer the two beams, finer than a human hair, into a head-on collision. It will be these collisions that will allow the research programme to begin properly.
Once colliding beams have been established, there will be a period of measurement and calibration for the LHC's four major experiments, and new results could start to appear in about a year's time. Experiments at the LHC will allow physicists to complete a journey that started with Newton's description of gravity. Gravity acts on mass, but so far science is unable to explain the mechanism that generates mass. Experiments at the LHC will provide the answer. LHC experiments will also try to probe the mysterious dark matter of the universe – visible matter seems to account for just 4% of what must exist, while about a quarter is believed to be dark matter. They will investigate the reason for nature's preference for matter over antimatter, and they will probe matter as it existed at the very beginning of time.
"The LHC is a discovery machine," said CERN Director General Robert Aymar, "its research programme has the potential to change our view of the Universe profoundly, continuing a tradition of human curiosity that's as old as mankind itself."

PS. Oh and for the science-scaredy-cats, you can come out from under the bed for now, no black holes have been created as of yet!

The Yadkin Arts Council will host the summer theatre program for the county's youth in July.
Last year's instructor, Vicky Town, will return this year with a new program for children ages 6 to 17 and a professional theater to house their new production.
"The joy on the kids' faces when they finished and the reaction from the parents was just as I had hoped it would be last year," Town said. "I kept telling the children that the audience wanted to know if they could really do this. I told them I didn't want them to be just a cute kid show. I wanted them to wow the audience, and that's exactly what they did."
This year the program will be split into two age groups. An "apprentice" group will be comprised of children ages 6 to 9. These actors will use drama and movement games to create a play.
The "theatre company" will be comprised of age s10 to 17, and they will spend the month preparing for a performance of the children's musical "Honk, Jr.!"
"The thing that I like about it is that a lot of time in musicals there are only a few big parts, and everyone else just fills in as crowds, and they don't have a chance to shine," Town said. "In this particular play there are many supporting roles, and so it's not overwhelming to learn a part like that. But it's a wonderful opportunity to strut your stuff."
Town said that the play also has messages about learning to love yourself and avoiding strangers and bullying. Town said both messages are needed in today's society.
Another major reason for Town bringing back the summer theatre program is to provide the children a safe and fun summer activity to enjoy with their friends.
"One of the reasons that I wanted to do this again and make it an annual thing is to have a safe place for teens and tweens to go," Town said. "If you're not sports oriented then sometimes you have a hard time fitting in or don't know what to do with yourself. This is a great opportunity for everybody because it's physical but it's also a mental challenge."
Town said that the ideal number of participants is 40. She said that every child will be a part of the performance. On the first two days of the program the children will have a chance to audition for lead parts, and those who don't want to be a lead will fill in as side parts.
"My goal is for everyone in the class to have something to do in the play, even if you just walk on stage and say two lines," Town said. "They say public speaking is the thing that adults fear most, and I think this is a great way to get past that in a fun, playful manner with your peers cheering you on."
Town said that she is working to contact all of the kids who participated in the program last year and invite them back. She said that any child who wants to participate but whose family might not have the program fee can inquire about the arts council's scholarship program.
"It's a very reasonable fee for the time frame but we realize that we're in a recession still and it might be a hardship for parents so we're working with people with scholarships," Town said.
This year the program will get to take advantage of the newly opened Willingham Theater at the Yadkin Cultural Arts Center. Town said that she is excited that the final production's audience will have a more comfortable viewing experience.
"By having a professional stage with all of the accouterments the young actors will have the opportunity to see from the inside how things work," Town said. "They'll learn how to budget time, how to work in a group and the overall quality of the production will go up. I would like to continue to build on our skills and bring another polished production with singing and dancing added."

"Interesting Reads" is a new Google News section that includes opinionated, thought-provoking articles from news sites. Some titles: "The Daughter Deficit", "America's Food Crisis and How to Fix It", "7 Reasons to Avoid Windows 7".
It's not exactly Arts & Letters Daily, but it's an interesting departure from Google's goal of aggregating and clustering news stories.
Update: The feature has been launched and the section has been renamed to "spotlight". "The Spotlight section of Google News is updated periodically with news and in-depth pieces of lasting value. These stories, which are automatically selected by our computer algorithms, include investigative journalism, opinion pieces, special-interest articles, and other stories of enduring appeal. To access the stories in this section, just click Spotlight on the left side of the page," explains Google.

Biggest D-Bags on TV in 2012 (PHOTOS)
We tend to prefer to accentuate the positive around here, but a douche by any other name is still a douche. And many of our favorite shows had some pretty epic displays of douchebaggery last year. Here are just some of the characters we loved to hate in 2012.

Job Seeker Stories
Bill Kochmar, Class of 2011, Management Associate, BMW North America HQ
How did you find out about the job?
Networking with professionals in the field & LinkedIn (sent over 3000 personal messages to everyone in the auto industry to get my lead)
What previous experience proved useful as you moved through the steps to secure this job?
Ridiculous persistence, having diverse experience (internships and "real" jobs)
What challenges did you overcome in your pursuit of the job?
I was denied by almost everyone I talked to. It's a numbers game, so keep trying. Every time you hear a no, you're that much closer to hearing a yes. No matter what you've heard, it's easy to find a job in today's economy with your major…but it's difficult to find a job in the company/specific field/position you want. You might have to work years at going to where you want but it's only a few years to set up your entire lifetime.
What were your biggest assets in your job search?
Persistence, passion, enthusiasm, follow up hand written letters.
What was your step by step process?
I went through this process several times, but.
- Drink beverages every day after class while messaging thousands of people on LinkedIn in the field of my choice.
- Follow up with the few who respond with enthusiastic and compelling letters about where I want to be and asking for their help.
- Score an interview after networking and getting pointed in the right direction.
- Prepare with Career Services and everyone you think would be a good mentor for the interview process (includes putting all of your work so far into one binder so you have your entire college work/internship/real job work in front of you during the interview to serve as proof and examples of what you did, how you did it and what happened, etc.
- Interview.
- Write hand written thank you letters to everyone you meet during your interview process (minus limo/cab drivers, security, etc).
- Hope and try to forget about all the work you just put into something in case they say no you're life isn't over.
- While waiting for interviewer's response– repeat steps 1-6 All day every day.
- They said yes? Pursue the next steps with the company while preparing (When you think you've prepared enough, you're wrong).
- More thank you letters after those next interviews, try building a relationship with anyone you can in the company while in this process.
- More waiting.
- Repeat previous steps to drum up more interviews.
- Use information from previous interviews to round out weaknesses in interview questions, use their feedback to your advantage to prepare in the future.
- Get job offer.
- Negotiate, if you don't they'll question your ability to negotiate in the future for their company.
What strategies helped you interview successfully?
Career Center. Previous Experience. Positive attitude. Go-get-em personality.
Along the way toward this goal, who at Wright State helped you prepare and how?
Jim Munch – professor. Lisa Duke & head of dept. A bunch of the people at Career Services. Tons of videos from YouTube, googling all sorts of topics on interviewing, etc.
What Career Services or programs were helpful to you in your overall job search?
Mock Interviewing. Résumé review. Start Smart salary negotiation training. Other Career Services workshop on a job search topic. Co-op or internship position. Advice and information on Career Services website.
What would you do differently if you were doing it again?
I would not have banked so hard on the idea that BMW would of taken me. I would of balanced 3-4 dream interviews for every 20-30 non-dream job interviews. It's really important to "blitz" or rush to get as many offers in a small amount of time as possible because you will only have a small offer time window for a position and ideally you will want to compare apples to apples for all the positions at once to make a good decision.

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
By Kara Herlihy
Mad River Glen is kicking off their 33rd annual Nato Telemark Festival this Friday, March 7, with a movie event to benefit the Stark Mountain Foundation and the Mad River Glen Naturalist Program.
Nato presents Nils Larsen showing his new movie, Skiing in the Shadow of Genghis Khan -- Timeless Skiers of the Altai.
In 2005, Larsen, Dave Waag, and Naheed Henderson journeyed to the Altai Mountains of northwest China to document the indigenous use of skis. Larsen followed the first trip with two additional trips into the remote region and found "a rich culture that still builds and uses skis in ways that date back thousands of years."
Skiing in the Shadow of Genghis Khan takes people on a tour of both place and people, showing how they building and use this ancient style of skis as well as live in this harsh but beautiful park of world," according to Stark Mountain Foundation and Naturalist program spokesperson Sean Lawson.
The festival weekend will host over 1,000 telemark skiers for a weekend of free-heel skiing, championship races, skills clinics, surprises and more.
On Saturday, MRG will host the World Championship Berserkebeiner Race, an all-mountain ski race with climbing skins required. The movie event begins at 6 p.m. in the MRG base lodge. Door donations benefit the Stark Mountain Foundation for the Mad River Naturalist Program.

SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Senior left hand pitcher Ryan Beck tallied seven strikeouts on the afternoon and New Mexico State attempted a ninth inning comeback but fell short losing 6-5 to UTSA in game two of the three-game Western Athletic Conference series at Roadrunner Field in San Antonio, Texas, Saturday, May 11.
NM State trailed 5-0 heading to the fifth but the Aggies showed a never-say-die attitude losing by just one run. The Aggies are now 5-3 in one-run games and continue to struggle in away-games holding a 6-13 record on the road.
The first two Aggie batters of the ninth inning blasted ground-balls to the UTSA first baseman, which were scored as errors, before the tying run and go-ahead run got on base with singles. Senior Parker Hipp then hit the ball deep to right-field but the wind knocked the ball down for the UTSA outfielder to make the out. Another fly-out to centerfield ended the NM State comeback attempt and the game.
"Parker hit the ball as well as he could but the wind really held it up and gave the outfielder enough time to get under it," head coach Rocky Ward said. "We had good at-bats at the end of the game and had a chance but just couldn't pull it off. Overall it was a well-played game and I am proud of my guys and the effort they gave."
Beck was credited with the loss and falls to 7-4 on the year. He now has 77 strikeouts, which is second-best on the NM State pitching staff, and 299 K's on his NM State career. With one more strikeout, Beck will become only the second player to throw at least 300 strikeouts at NM State.
The Aggies fall to 27-23 this year and 12-11 in WAC play after marking five runs on six hits without committing an error. UTSA moves to 27-22 and is now 11-11 in league play, just a half-game behind NM State in the conference standings.
UTSA was the first team to get on the board after scoring a run in the bottom of the first on a single through the right-side of the field taking a 1-0 lead. Neither team scored in the second or third innings but the Aggies picked up their first hit of the game in the third on a single by junior Tanner Rust. He finished the day as the only Aggie with multiple hits as he went 2-of-4 with a walk, an RBI and a run scored.
The Aggies allowed four UTSA runs to score in the bottom of the fourth on four hits and a walk to fall behind 5-0. NM State was also credited with a wild pitch in the inning and a Roadrunner hitter tallied a sacrifice bunt to move runners to second and third in the same inning.
A sacrifice fly by junior Michael Medina in the top of the fifth got NM State on the board trailing 5-1. Eight out of nine Aggie batters were retired from the fifth inning through the eighth before the comeback attempt started. Senior reliever Evan Mott came in to work an inning striking out two of the three batters he faced while not allowing a run to score.
The three-game WAC series between NM State and Roadrunners wraps up at 12:00 p.m. (MT), Sunday, May 12. Fans can listen to the action live in Las Cruces on KSNM AM 570 or online at www.NMStateSports.com. Las Cruces native Michael Ormseth is scheduled to get the start on the mound for the Aggies and he is 3-3 on the year.

contact me if you are seriously interested in
yay..... now we have to thoroughly explain with multiple paragraphs exactly what we are talking about, instead of simply using one word for it.
we can now call Quake 1, or any moderately populated online game that ever existed an MMO. how USEFUL the word now becomes!
small scale multiplayer...... massively multiplayer.... it all means the same thing in the end! nobody ever cares to make a distinction between various numbers anyways. fun is all that matters. not numbers. numbers couldn't at all have any relation to how fun or unique something is. what have numbers ever done for anyone anyways? with their silly overly-specific meanings. all numbers should be all inclusive, so we don't have to worry about what words we choose.
this is a BIG WIN FOR EVERYBODY!
progress in communication has been made!

How many times am i gonna have to correct everyone on mmo vs mmorpg discussion :(
First of all mmo and mmorpg are coined terms for games(coined by 1 person), before any discussion, you need to decide do you accept what that person's definition of mmorpg and mmo is or not ? because if you disagree with it, and hate it then you're only arguying semantics when you try to prove a certain game is or is not mmo and mmorpg.
Ok lets use some logic now :)
MMO-Massively Multiplayer Online (which means its a broad designation for a myriad of sub-genre games, MMO-RPG\FPS\RTS\Racing\Social\etc ...
MMO-Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game ( and here's the catch, with the merging of rpg into the fps genre with CoD 4, and merging of rpg in almost any and all genres of game, there is confusion now, almost every game has rpg elements regardless of its base type.)
Do you see a pattern here ? a sub-genre definition of MMORPG has gain the same value as the main genre definition of MMO and the two are being used like they mean the same thing, like they are the same thing, people inter-change them all the time.
That's main discussion problem( you're arguying freaking semantics, ...)
What's the original definion of MMORPG
It must be:
a) a game that's hosted on dedicated servers(Peer 2 Peer, and hybrid hosting methods were not taken into account when the term was coined so there is a big discrepancy between the original meaning and today's implied meaning.
b) a game that has persistance(so any change to the game that any player does within the avaiable parameters of the given game must persist upon that player's quitting of the game.)
c)virtual world(no distinction between instanced or seamless, so a virtual world enabling interaction between multiple people(no definition of whether the interaction is 1D,2D,3D,etc, ...)
d)Massive(no default values so everybody can interpret this as they want, let's use logic:
1 person-single player
2 people-? co-op (with what 2-4 being co-op ? 2-6 ? 2-7 players ? real value uknown)
between 2 to whatever a co-op limit is.
Llets say 64 people lobby-based game ?(what if the game does not have a lobby ?, guild wars 1 style, vindictus style ? WRONG WRONG WRONG, you use all the players connected to the game servers(backend hardware,not WoW-style servers) as a measure of massive, so not the players within a single area/instance/shard. Ok 64 a common max number of players for multiplayer games in the past decade and a half, let's take Battlefield 3 for instance, not a mmorpg, not even an mmo, 64 players max per map, but then again more players connected to a server, see the connection here, it's hard to discern what you should use to test for massive ammounts of players.
And here's the second confusion which produces argument, people confusing servers from a hardware point of view with servers from a consumer's point of view.
Let's use logic again, The definition MMORPG, would take into account the amount of people connected to a backend server as a hardware component, and conclude that if there is a "massive ammount" of people connected to it that game is then a MMO(Its massive, it's multiplayer and it requires online connection to access the server, This would mean any game that has more than 64 people connected to a dedicated hardware server station is an MMO(regardless of if those even 3 of those 64 players can actually interact with each other on a specific shard). A server station can service multiple "wow-style servers a consumer sees on 1 "server"(shard), hence more confusion entails.
But then again today, because of changes that happened, we might have to consider a instance of the map or game world as 1 server, as you would consider a WoW/GW2/anything server/shard and just forget the mumbo-jumbo happenning on the other side.
if games with up to 64 people are still not considered mmos, let's take 64 as a value so with co-op ending somewhere between 2 and 64 people, and multiplayer games ending with 64 people, any game with more than 64 people connected at the same time, in a persistant world with the capabality of interaction with each-other in a visual or otherwise different manner is an MMO.
64 players- infnite ammount of players - Massive Multiplayer Online
So does the game have Role-Playing Features ?, do you control a distinct avatar of some sort, is a fantasy or a sci-fi, or some other distinct setting ?, are combat and other systems reminiscent of Dungeons&Dragons or similar things, are the dice rolling the background(does it matter if there is dice rolling or not ?) Now wouldn't all of this cement a game into a being an RPG ?, a now broad definion for pretty much everything that's allows any sort of customization or item randomization.
Then in conclusion what i consider an MMORPG, is a slight addition to the original mmorpg definion and that is a :
Game that has more than 64 people connected together in a virtual world,
Interacting with each other in any dimensional manner,
While having the power to influence that world,
and for the changes to persist through logging out and logging back into the game.
In addition the previous, players must connect to a big server in a manner, and have data on the company servers that is not present on a personal computer, online access of course mandatory, and i take any system from any RPG game ever made as proof that the game qualifies as RPG itself.

When you have marketing people determining the nature of appelations, you don't get much useful.
You could probably devise a taxonomic system, Order-Family-Genus-Species type thing; if you were really fanatical. Also possible would be a more function based thing, Carnivore-Omnivore-Herbivore.
Your personal feelings about what's what are just that.
As an aside, a lot of professional writers are really unhappy about the loss of detail in the meanings of words in this era, so welcome to the club!
If you are holding out for the perfect game, the only game you play will be the waiting one.

What makes WoW a MMO and Leages of Legend not?
WoW's entire endgame is based on small scale groups, dungeons and raids. Also very small scale PvP.
Leages of Legend doesn't have an open world? Well...
WoW world is open...most of the players stand in the city waiting for queues to pop. You only see the world while leveling. In the end, its no different than LoL.
If WoW is considered an MMO, so too should LoL.
Things change and evolve...graphics evolve...game genres evolve...if things didn't change, we would still be in the old days. Everything has to evolve to progress and move forward. Just take a look at Steam and Amazon...no need to go to a gamestop to buy PC games...just download them in seconds. Amazon controls the book market, and Barnes and Nobles and similar stores are going bankrupt.
For the MMO genre to evolve, it has to change and meet what the MAJORITY of people want. And that is quick to get in and out style games, less open world and more game/fun. Games like WoW, LoL and many other games now considered MMOs to the industry.

People aren't opposing change, they are complaining about lack of common sense. You CAN argue what MMO means, but you will be wrong if it isn't what it is by definition. An MMO by definition doesn't need a persistent world, it doesn't need levels, it doesnt need an RPG component, but it does require a massive amount of people playing a game together to be able to meet up in one place, at the same time, playing the same game. If you had 100 countries, and in each country 10 people were protesting you would not call it massive. If you had 1000 people in 1 country protesting it is pretty massive.
I don't think anyone here doesn't want the kind of regular multiplayer games that the OP likes to be made, its just that they already have classifications and as such shouldn't be misunderstood to be an MMO as they are missing the "massive multiplayer" part. Its all well and good that they have the _MO part, but they aren't MMO. I am not arguing the point so much as giving one last ditch effort in trying to explain to those who don't understand what an MMO is, that people are upset because you are trying to redefine something into something that doesn't make sense. You are basically asking me to call a motorcycle a car because they both have engines and wheels. It makes NO sense. So of course you are going to get backlash.
This is only made worse considering that the vast majority of sites, people and most importantly developers, do not call these multiplayer games an MMO. Even this site does not call D3 an MMO, yet some argue the point just because it exists here.
Oh well. Good luck trying to get the people to think otherwise. I applaud the tenacity of those trying to defy logic. Keep on fighting your fight!

Well, that is what WoW has devolved into. WoW is an MMO because people CAN and WILL meet up in areas where they can all play the game together in massive numbers. In LoL you CANNOT do that. It's actually exceptionally easy to understand.
Also, the MMO genre can evolve, but by calling mulitplayer games, or in your case, arguing that LoL which is alrready defined as a MOBA an MMO is asking it the genre to regress. If people want quick in and out games, they have them. There are MMO versions, SP versions, MP versions, COOP versions.... And WoW just happens to offer MMO gameplay via the open world that is accessible to massive amounts of people at one time, and multiplayer options which are presented as dungeons. The reason WoW is so popular still is it attracts 2 markets. It's a great thing for those who want it, and as WoW has the MMO portion it absolutely belongs under the MMO category.
However, why you would argue against RIOT who makes LoL and calls it a MOBA and has stated on their forums it is not an MMO just confuses me.

Therefore it satisfies the MMO portion of the definition even though it is more commonly referred to as MOBA - Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. I can accept either reference.

You should try it sometime, it's crazy fun (I just gave you a toes up :))

You should also ask yourself if it makes sense to purposely use a word differently than most other people just because you don't like the way it's being used. You should also ask yourself if maybe you should abandon the use of the ambiguous word, in favor of something less ambiguous.
Call WoW an MMORPG, not an MMO. Call LoL a MOBA, not an MMO. Then, instead of getting bent out of shape over stuff like this, when someone asks you, you can explain how WoW is an MMORPG and how LoL is a MOBA, and how the term MMO is ambiguous.
I can not remember winning or losing a single debate on the internet.

I don't think the "industry" is specifically saying LoL, for example, is considered a "Massively Multiplayer Online" game. The term is used because it's recognizable.

I was simply attempting to explain the pointlessness of calling LoL or any other regular multiplayer online game an MMO of any kind, since that would only serve to ignore the purpose of the term MMO and consequently games that were previously largely defined by it would have no definition. We would have to invent a new term to describe games like WoW and EVE since MMO would no longer be indicative of games with massive amounts of people playing together as an interactive populace, RPG or not.
At one point the term MMO had a universally clear and useful purpose and there's no reason it shouldn't retain that function instead of devolving into something we already have a term for (Online). That's all i'm sayin.

I guess what I'm getting at here is now we have to define Roleplay. Because to me roleplay isn't waiting for 9 or 24 other people to get their crap together so we can execute a predefined strategy to kill the Big Bad so I can loot a Shiny Longsword Of Shimmering Fabulousness.

The term MMO is still clear. Do not let an extremely small group of MMORPG forum goers tell you otherwise. Newzoo does not represent "the industry" as a whole. They did research on online games that have a very large playerbase and chose to include (wisely I might add) LoL under their research. Why? It applies. Their study in no way implies that LoL is actually an MMO. The site simply uses it as a blanket term as the majority of games they reported on were MMO's. However, the people who would want this research and also find it important wouldn't want a behemoth such as LoL to be left out. While it may not be an MMO, they have captured an online community that is either nearly, or totally unmatched. This stats report was in no way trying to make a statement, nor was it trying to redefine anything.
Furthermore, the industry has many faces and representatives. Of which, the developers and review sites are included. Know who doesnt call LoL or DOTA an MMO? Well, take a gander at this list: Valve, RIOT, PC Gamer, Gamespy, IGN, Engadget, Gamespot, MMORPG.com (yes, the very site they are arguing on calls it a MOBA), the guys at various moba websites such as mobafire.
Also, the players on the LoL forums are VERY aware they are not playing an MMO. To go one step further, unlike the few posters here that are stirring the pot, they understand the need and importance of not calling a moba an mmo, or mixing up genres. For instance, this thread here they discuss the term MOBA and how it formed out of a different meaning:
If you do a search, there are even posters who want an MMO version of LoL.
Also, the popular site Massively even has an article that covers games like D3 and LoL, called "Not so massively" found here:
Now, I have read many threads in the past about how they group LoL with MMO's knowing its not an MMO, but as it's still somewhat a newer market to many people, MOBA hasn't exactly taken off or become to widely known. I could not find the specific links, but here is a community representative for RIOT referencing that they were grouped with MMO as there wasn't a proper category for them yet. The post also references that the Golden Joystick awards also understands LoL isn't an MMO but it had to be grouped somewhere. The reason it was grouped was because it would be a shame to not include it at all. Like music, certain types of things are grouped at first even though they are different just because they share like qualities. It does not mean that heavy metal is death metal just because they are both metal. Anyway, here is the post:
So, if the players, developers, reviewers, people who give out awards, tournament hosts and more do not call LoL or Dota an MMO and even go so far as to specifically remove the MASSIVE part from the descriptor, (ie; MOBA), then why should we get upset that a handful of guys on here call it an MMO? Its they who are confused. Remember, just because there are 10 million people playing chess online right now, on a board that some would consider persistant, does not make it an MMO. It makes it massively popular though hahah.
So yeah, lets just ignore this crap going forward. If someone makes a post about a non-mmo game here, the moderators will move it to the general gaming forum as they always do if someone reports it.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. --- University of Tennessee at Chattanooga senior Lucas Cotter (Collierville, Tenn.) placed fourth overall and led the Mocs to an 11th place finish in the Men's Gold Division D1 of the Greater Louisville Classic hosted by the Louisville Sports Commission at the E.P. "Tom" Sawyer State Park while the women placed two in the Top 10 for a sixth place finish in the D1 Blue Division in a record rainfall.
"Lucas ran like the veteran he is," Chattanooga head coach Bill Gautier said of the senior. "He held back and then did what he needed to do to finish near the top. That's just what he does."
Cotter led the men to an 11th place finish in the top division of three races with a time of 24:44.11. Senior Mark Cole (McKenzie, Tenn.) was the second Chattanooga runner across the line with a time of 25:50.71 placing 48th out of 163 Division I runners in the 8000 meter race. Sophomore Trevor Janssen (Jordan Station, Ontario) was the third Moc across the line with a time of 26:11.50 followed by senior John Gilpin (Nashville, Tenn.) at 26:15.97 and sophomore Paul Stuart (Brentwood, Tenn.) with a time of 26:21.59.
Louisville took first in the race with 53 points followed by Tennessee (81), East Tennessee State (175) and Georgia Tech (186) and Florida A&M (194) finishing fifth. Rounding out the top 10 was Texas A&M (202), Morehead State (210), Eastern Kentucky "B" (230), Campbell (245) and Saint Louis (246). The Mocs, with 253 points, finished ahead of Southern Conference foes Davidson (12th – 277) and Samford (16th – 355).
In the women's race, junior Rebecca Greenwall (Bogart, Ga.) led the Lady Mocs to a sixth place finish in the Division I Women's Blue Division race. She placed eighth overall with a time of 18:40.34 over the 5-kilometer course. Right behind was junior Keeley Stewart (Winchester, Tenn.) who placed ninth with a time of 18:51.16.
"All of our women PR'd today," Gautier said. "Keeley ran the race of her life. She ran smart and did really well. Rebecca was our top runner today and tried a little bit too hard, but she had a great race."
Freshmen loaded the roster from there on with Jessica York (Normandy, Tenn.) crossing the line third for the Lady Mocs with a time of 19:31.73 followed by Anna Kate Chance (Columbia, Tenn.) at 19:39.94. Madayn Garland (Evensville, Tenn.) was the final scoring runner across the line for UTC with a time of 19:54.76 and Katie Ray (Knoxville, Tenn.) finished with a time of 20:00.49.
South Alabama claimed the women's title with 106 points followed closely by Austin Peay who scored 109. Samford finished third with 112 points, Evansville was fourth with 121 points and Campbell finished fifth with 127 points. The Lady Mocs had 142 team points and finished ahead of SoCon foe Western Carolina who was 10th with 218 points.
Chattanooga returns home on October 19 for the Front Runner Invitational at the Moccasin Bend Race Course. The women's 2-mile race begins at 3 p.m. followed by the men's 5K event.

U.S. Navy Captain Eugene F. Paluso, will be the new commandant for the S.C. Corps of Cadets at The Citadel, the school announced last week.
The commandant of cadets is a vice presidential position responsible for the command and oversight of the 2,300-member Corps of Cadets. Paluso graduated from The Citadel in 1989 with a bachelors degree in mathematics.
He is currently a U.S. Navy SEAL officer on active duty as the commander of the Naval Special Warfare Group Three at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
The group consists of 700 specialized SEAL and fleet personnel. Paluso will retire from the Navy after serving for approximately 25 years, before taking his post as Commandant at The Citadel.
During his career, Paluso has held leadership roles commanding special operations forces in Africa, Iraq and Afghanistan.
He has led men and women in combat at all levels.
His service awards include the Defense Superior Service Medal, Defense Meritorious Service Medal, Bronze star, Meritorious Service Medal (2), Joint Commendation Medal (2), Navy Commendation Medal (5), Joint Achievement Medal, and the Navy Achievement Medal.
The position of commandant reports directly to The Citadels President, Lt. Gen. John W. Rosa.
I am confident that Captain Gene Paluso will be successful as the new Commandant of the Corps of Cadets. As a highly decorated officer in the U.S. Navy, he brings a wealth of experience that will help shape our young men and women into principled leaders for all walks of life, said Rosa.
Paluso, who will start mid-summer, will replace Col. Leo A. Mercado, USMC, (Ret.), who is a member of The Citadel Class of 1979.
Mercado, who joined The Citadel as commandant in 2009, is retiring from the college.
His tenure is marked by the implementation of a single standard for all cadets that stresses the schools core values of honor, duty and respect.
