Based on observation, many such people are discontent with life and go overboard with escapism. In chat, my friend asked a woman in her forties, why do you take WoW (of all games lol) so seriously? She replied, "Life sucks, my job sucks, I'm still single and live with my parents, but in WoW, I can be powerful and a somebody." A really bitchy former guild master in his thirties was late for a raid and said "Sorry, I had to stay late to clean the deep fryer twice." A dumb teenager asked me to run his guild if he started one. He didn't know how to, but wanted to order adults around for a change. Sick....

No doubt. I also have stories from the opposite.
My guild leader and his gf, got married and quit wow to start a family.
For most people, including me, MMOs are just entertainment that have to compete with other wants of life, and other entertainment.
Another example. This weekend i am goingt to Napa valley (taking the wine train tour) with my wife, and going to sample Iron Chef's Morimoto's restaurant. While i am taking my laptop (has to for email & potential work), i doubt i would be playing much games.
Similarly, during summer movie seasons, i often go to movie on SAT morning with my kids. That means i would not be playing MMOs (or other video games) then. And no raid, or online group, is important enough to take me away from that.

i've met many of these "leet" players and have gotten to know them pretty well in games. most of them are troubled people with no jobs or are escaping from life. there are a few who are just naturally really good at the game they are playing but most of them had some really bad problems in real life. getting to know them personally also made me stop picking on them because i've seen how messed up life is for them. you'd be surprised how many of them are on anti depressants.

Some top-guilds have sponsors, enough so they can play them for living.
Most are unemployed probably, from countries with awesome welfare systems that doesn't really require you to work for living ever.
Some are underaged kids living at their parents with no responsibilities.
Some are just no-lifers who work - game - work - game (i have one such friend, whom i met last weekend on a cruise and hadn't seen him in over a year).
Currently playing: -
Waiting for: Class4.
Dead and Buried: ESO, NWO, GW2, SWTOR, Darkfall, AO, AC2, Vanguard, CoH/V, EnB, EVE, Neocron, FE, EQ, EQ2, DAoC, FFXI, FFXIV, SWG, WoW, and billions of eastern junks!

I don't know about others but for me when I was able to play the most hardcore was when I quit my fulltime while waiting to join the military. I was supposed to leave a few weeks after I quit but it turned into over 9 months when I found out i was colorblind. During that time I lived off savings and worked about 32-38 hours a week at a gas station just to barely getting by. By the end I had sold pretty much everything I owned other than my pc and my desk. Since I was so broke at the time all I did was play my MMO constantly cause I couldn't afford to do anything else.
I've never understood how people are able to do this for years and years. Some I've known in the past go in sperts because of seasonal work. Others work that 9-5 job but literally have no activities other than playing their game. They don't date, they don't hangout with friends, they don't visit family etc. They just play their game with every bit of free time they have.

Yeah, sure, no way around that, nope, not at all.
Anyway, while I was never into games with raiding and all that stuff. I did play some very time demanding pvp games like EVE and PERPETUUM for nearly 18 hours a day sometimes. In my case I'm a network administrator, my day consists of sitting either at home or in the office with one or monitors keeping tabs on performance and issues, and leaves me with nothing but time for games/internet until a issue arises. Honestly software takes care of almost everything today, but they have to keep someone on hand for the odd issue it can't handle.
To find an intelligent person in a PUG is not that rare, but to find a PUG made up of "all" intelligent people is one of the rarest phenomenons in the known universe.

The unemployment rate in Spain for people 25 and younger is 60%. In many countries currently that age group is in the 20-25% number.
What makes you think even half of any of these people does anything for a living? Yeah at first blush you would think that well at least a majority has got to do something. But clearly that is not a good assumption.

Right, this is how it works with us. I do not play a lot, nor do many of our guild members, but still we can maintain being a top guild.
When there is a level uncap we do play a lot, but again it's far more productive than casuals. I have the people who I play with on my messenger, I know when they're on, I know when they're asleep, as they do from me. Before a new expansion we log off fully buffed and our group is ready, we have planned out how we are going to level, we have planed out reserves if someone doesn't show up, we have planned out how long we will level etc. and we will play 8-10 hours in a row, but those are the only days we do that, every other day we play far less than some casuals.
We raid 3-4 hours and log off, raid 3-4 hours, log off, raid 3-4 hours, log off. This system of logging on on the same time and setting up groups and raids in minutes is a very productive way to play MMO.
3-4 hours 5 times a week is not a lot of playtime compared to casuals, but a casual is still looking for a group after 30 minutes while most raid guilds have gathered 54 peple in 2 minutes and have taken out a raid mob by then.
It's not because top guilds play more, it's their structure, their playstyle, the very srong bond and organisation skill they use to come together at the exact same time and their intolernace for anyone who doesn't abide by those same rules.
I will say that there are raiders in top guilds who simply play a lot, there are players who play non-stop, but this is not the case for the majority in our guild, 90% of the players log in for raid, raid and log off. they do not stay on to play, they have a job and don't have the time to play longer than 3-4 hours, but in those 3-4 hours, they are highly effective at contributing to the guild, far more effective than a casual who play 10 hours but log in at random times without consistency.
It's the same difference between casual guilds and top guilds when a new character enters the guild. In most casual guilds that player is left to fend for her / himself. In top guild every new character that comes in is immediatly "corrected", any missing xp or flags are checked and if that person is lacking anything they are immediately helped by good players in the guild who are good at powerleveling and going through missions as fast as possible. That player will be ready to play in a matter of days, while in casual guilds that player is still figuring out who to group with. When a new player comes into the guild who is not ready an officer will take the initiative and tell members of the guild to stop what they're doing and join the group with the newbee, and you play with this new character until they're ready and then go back to your regular group within the guild.

I swear by my pretty floral bonnet, I will end you.
Most probably don't have jobs.
A friend of mine has known a guy for years that plays EVERY game in existence and has never worked a day in his life. He claims to have an incredible fear of going outside. Whatever that phobia is called. So he lives on disability due to his "illness" is very fat, and spends most of the government assistence on video games.
But there's tons of people like that. Living with their parents. Never work. Getting paid disability when in my humble opinion they're probably perfectly able. A lot of these people are gamers. I mean what else are they gonna do? They're not working.
If you think its an impossibility that you just can't get by without a job, thats reality for most people. However there's a ton of folks that's not a reality at all. They can sit around at home all day and not do crap. Except read comic books, play video games, and watch pornography all the while getting extremely impatient on whats taking mom so long to finish making the chicken friend steak and green bean DINNER! COMON ALREADY! MOOOOOM! GAWD!!!!
If you think this is some sort of fiction, or rarity, it's not. It's totally not. In online games these people are all over the place. Its just the way it is.
EDIT: I also have to say I'm amused that most of the replies in this thread are working off some premise that these people must be doing something for money. Seriously folks. No. Just no. If they're not earning on disability regarding their chronic itchy toenail, they're just 35 years old saying, " MOM! I want the WoW EXPANSION! I HAVE NOTHING TO DOOO! Yea....thank you. Its not that expensive anyways. NO I DONT WANT TO MOW THE LAWN!!!! ". I know they make comedies like "Step Brothers" about this stuff. But it seriously exists. For real. And its actually far more common than most of you would seem to be able to believe.
So in short what do they do for a living? Probably jack diddly squat that's what.

I never raided hardcore, but I did knew a few people that seemed to be online at all hours. Some were college students, others, just happened to do nothing but work and play, when they weren't at work, they were at home playing, and almost all day long on weekends.
One case I knew worked from home doing audio stuff, he had his whole studio at home next to his gaming computer. When he had to work it was usually doing overnight stuff, and when he had big projects he would dissapear for days at a time, but other than that he was in game most of the day.

I'm a software consultant for a computer system that the military use. I'm basically a living insurance policy. They pay me to be a subject matter expert on the system, so that when it breaks, I can fly out and fix the problem.
I bring my gaming laptop to work and play single player games there most of the day, then I go home, do whatever my wife has for me to do on the "honey-do" list, help the kids with their homework, eat dinner with my family at the table, and then I play games most of the evening.
Some of us just simply have a lot of free time.
If you're smart, then you plan out a career path that has absolutely nothing to do with time cards, cash registors or sitting in cubicles for 8 hours a day. Every day I log onto my computer and bill the company for 8 hours of work, and that's just to keep my expertise around, whether I did anything that day or not. Work smarter, not harder and you'll have plenty of time to do the things you want to do like paint Warhammer 40k armies and play video games all day. :)

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Embrace These Times

from Ted's Take,
The NHL had a great year. Can you name me one other media oriented company that can say they grew and grew fast across the board in terms of:
Ratings - both nationally and locally;
Season ticket renewals and season ticket sales;
Overall ticket sales;
Overall ticket pricing;
Merchandising sales;
Sponsorship sales;
And revenues?
The salary cap will move up again as the players share in more than half of the revenues so the players are happy.
For the most part, the product has improved.

Computational science plays a very important role in many things that we see in our daily life. There's the design of aircraft, for instance, or the fundamental elements of industrial design. The virtual environment provides a much quicker way for us to improve our understanding of older problems and break ground in our understanding of new phenomena with ramifications for how we live our lives. Machines like Titan and activities like the Titan project will be the vehicles that allow us to explore these fundamental things in computational science. They will provide a framework for better product design, new and innovative technologies, and new materials. And they will enable new insights into how very complex, nonlinear systems work; that, again, has implications for a lot of the technologies that we take for granted.
OLCF is a user facility that recognizes that its products are scientific discovery and technical innovation, and we will achieve this vision working with strong partners. These partnerships will be developed through our calls for proposals and our outreach efforts to the scientific, technology, and industrial communities. To broaden the scope of leadership computing, we need to engage through our networks, through our relationships, and encourage users from new communities that can take good advantage of these resources to move us forward in scientific discovery, industrial competitiveness, and sustainability. Partnerships and alliances are a big part of what is important about our research. In terms of challenges, clearly we're at a cusp in technology moving to hybrid architectures. This implies a lot of hard work by a lot of people. But it also is a game changer.

Colonel Harland Sanders' secret recipe to a well-lived life included giving back to the community and helping those in need. That is just what the two local KFC restaurants did recently in the Portsmouth area.
On April 12th the Rosemount KFC/Taco Bell donated 75 individual side dishes of Cole Slaw to the Lucasville Kiwanis Club for their biggest fundraiser of the year. The proceeds from the fundraiser will be used to provide shoes for any child in need in the four area Scioto County school districts.
Then on May 3rd the KFC Team in New Boston donated 200 individual side dishes of Cole Slaw to the Community Action Organization for the picnic to celebrate the Anti-Bullying Program. The program is to educate children about bullying and how to prevent it.
Keith Chambers a spokesperson for both restaurants said, "We, at Team Bagshaw, want to nourish our communities and help those organizations that are in need. If your organization is interested in Team Bagshaw's fundraising opportunities stop by your location restaurant and talk to a manager."
Both restaurants are owned an operated by Team Bagshaw which has been operating Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurants since 1971, and has now grown to owning or operating 33 restaurants composed of 11 KFC restaurants, 13 KFC/Long John Silver's, 3 KFC/Taco Bells, 1 KFC/A&W, 1 Taco Bell/Long John Silver's and 4

Brey Krause Carbon Fiber Strut Tower Brace Clears Fuel Cell Porsche 964 89-94 | 993 93-98
Model: R-1535
Price: $640.50
Product Info
Go To Product
During hard cornering and braking, forces are fed from the wheels to the strut tower. Adding stiffer springs and performance shocks only increases the load. Long-term effects are shock tower fatigue, cracking and poor tire wear. A Strut Tower Brace provides extra support to the strut towers by securing both towers together and limiting relative motion. A quality Strut Tower Brace also sharpens the feel and response of the front suspension, thereby enhancing the drivers experience and lowering lap times.
Brey-Krause strut tower braces incorporate high strength precision rod ends for adjustability and perfect fit. The design uses factory mounting points and transfers the load to the strut bearing mount. Like the harness guides , the strut tower brace design matches the beauty of the car. Carbon fiber strut braces and upgrade kits provide incredible strength to weight properties without compromising performance.
If you dont want to make any compromises on weight or performance, we have developed a series of carbon fiber strut braces and upgrade kits that deliver incredible strength to weight properties.

I bought two of this lipstick, because I honestly think I don't want to live without a backup! I've always loved reds, but the amount of pink in Love Goddess makes it quite special, in my opinion — Not to mention this is one of the most long-wearing lipsticks I've owned!
For those who couldn't get their hands on Love Goddess, NARS Luxembourg is a good alternative, in my opinion.
Love Goddess is a brightened, pink-red with a satin finish. It has opaque color coverage and applies evenly and smoothly. This shade wore for six hours. Tarina Tarantino Fuchsia Lining is lighter. Guerlain Girly is pinker. MAC Gesina is very similar. Chanel Emotive is lighter.

Thoughts on game
"We didn't practice. We talked. We met and talked about what's in our heart and gut. For them to come out and absolutely risk it all, I commend them. After Thursday, to come back two nights later and beat the best team in the north, I think that's pretty special. However, the results of tonight were going to reveal our character."
On how Chattanooga responded late in the game
"We responded, but Rico cant turnover that ball or the game is over. We made enough free throws and got enough stops to make it a great win. After Thursday though, it is a fantastic win."
McGhee's block in the lane in the final two minutes of the game.
"McGhee can't even touch the rim. That is getting out of your comfort zone. We got out of our comfort defensively and we were phenomenal. Casey Jones did a great job of getting out his comfort zone and playing tight defense. Tonight was a life lesson game after Thursday night."
On attacking the basket
"We did a great job of getting to the foul line on Thursday night, too. We have almost made more free throws this year than our opponents have shot. Normally, that is a good sign. Thursday night we went to the foul line 19 times in the first half, with UNCG going zero times and were down by 18. We have had some fluke stuff happen to us, but we continue to battle through the adversity."
Thoughts on McGhee's performance
"McGhee hasn't looked like a freshman in a long time. That is why he is going to be fun to watch in the next few years. It's nice when you only have one guy leaving on senior night."
Gee McGhee, freshman, guard
Thoughts on rebounding after a tough loss
"Just being focused and taking practice more seriously. Then getting our minds right and just grinding helped too. We were very focused. We laid an egg on Thursday and we wanted to redeem ourselves to make a good name for the city of Chattanooga."
Thought on the final drive of the game
"My defender got out of the lane and so I stepped up to make the play. I don't know how I did it, I just did. I was smiling after I did it. I've never done anything like that in my life."
The change in offense and becoming more aggressive
"I see if I drive the ball, if they help up then I can dish it out. If they don't help up then I can go to the goal, get fouled, and score. I'm just trying to help my team anyway I can really."
Z. Mason, junior, forward
Thoughts on rebounding after a tough loss
"Just working. With this fast turnaround you have to focus. Elon is a good team and number one in our division. We can't dwell on the loss on Thursday. We have to just keep moving forward. We did a good job of staying on task tonight."
Thoughts on the offense becoming more aggressive
"It helps me and the whole offense out. When you have guys like McGhee that gets doubled down low, it gets guys open shots and bigs easy lay ups. It helps have a more fluent offense when we have guys that can get to the paint."
On the momentum this win brings to Chattanooga
"It's momentum. It's something we wanted to have Thursday going into that game and we didn't end up playing our best. Beating Elon is big. They're number one in our division. We have to take this momentum and carry it over into the last few games."
Elon Head Coach Matt Matheny
Thoughts on the game
"I thought it was a really tight game, a close game, and all around just a good college basketball game. We're disappointed. We've been in a lot of close games lately and I think we are beginning to play well in close games. I felt like tonight was similar to other close games that we have been able to pull it out but we couldn't make enough plays. I thought Chattanooga was aggressive and they attacked in a positive way."
On the game being dangerous for Elon
"As a coach you think of all kinds scenarios. So I was concerned with how we would respond but I think our guys played extremely hard. I don't think we were relaxed at all and I thought we were ready to play. That's a credit to our veteran leadership and I thought we played hard."
On the similarity of tonight's environment versus a SoCon tournament game environment
"I told our guys in the locker room after the game that tonight was very similar to a SoCon tournament game. It was a tough, close, physical battle and that is exactly what it's going to be like in two weeks."
Thoughts on UTC's defense
"I thought they changed defenses very well and I thought they got in and out of defenses very well. We never caught them changing defenses and got a wide open look. I thought they did a really good job of changing it and using it in a way to break our motion offense's rhythm, particularly in the second half."

This is serious stuff.... beer contains female hormones!
Last month Mississippi State University scientists released the results of a recent analysis that revealed the presence of female hormones in beer. Men should take a concerned look at their beer consumption. The theory is beer contains female hormones (hops contain phytoestrogens); therefore, by drinking enough beer, men can turn into women!
To test the theory, 100 men each drank 8 pints of beer within a one-hour period. It was then observed that 100% of the test subjects:
1. Argued over nothing.
2. Refused to apologize when obliviously wrong.
3. Gained weight.
4. Talked excessively without making sense.
5. Became overly emotional.
6. Couldn't drive.
7. Failed to think rationally.
8. Had to sit down to urinate.
No further testing was considered necessary.
Send this to all the men you know to warn them against drinking too
much beer!
Have you also noticed that many heavy beer drinkers end up with large boobs? Or, in fact, ARE large boobs?

Karmel likes make-up and trendy clothes, yet she also likes girls. Does she need to fit the lesbian stereotype? Ryan is one of the lads. Computer games, beer and bullying is the name of his game, yet a secret crush on fellow pupil Tegs threatens to blow his cover. Isaac, meanwhile, uses muscles and a hot head to threaten his schoolmates with violence should they display a gay attitude in his vicinity. It is down to loud and proud drama teacher Loris and his pink leotard to show these kids that they share a lot more in common than they first thought.

Pita Pit location to open Downtown by Opening DayWritten by Jay Hathaway | | email@example.com
Downtowners will soon have a new choice for lunch in the Warehouse District. A franchise of the Pita Pit is opening March 31 at 30 S. St. Clair St.
Franchise owner Kate Dake said the area's emergence as an entertainment district was appealing when choosing a new location.
"There's no other service like the Pita Pit over there," she said. "There's Jimmy John's and Subway [on the other side of Downtown], but there's no quick service in the Warehouse District."
"We fell in love with the space," she added. "It's an old historic building, and used to be a livery, among other things, so that's pretty cool."
Dake said she and her co-owners — including her husband Tom and brother Steve Gesicki — are very much looking forward to their first baseball season in the neighborhood, which begins April 4 this year.
"Our goal all along has been to be up and operating by Opening Day," she said.
To introduce themselves to St. Clair Village, the Dakes held a holiday party and got to know some of the neighbors. She said employees are sometimes treated to Mud Hens and Walleye games.
"We are huge fans of the Walleye and the Mud Hens," she said. "We're hoping for some opportunities to work with them, as well."
Pita Pit was founded in Ontario, Canada, in 1995 and in 2005 a group of investors and franchisees gained the rights to start Pita Pit USA, based in Idaho. There are currently more than 200 locations in the U.S., and more than 450 worldwide.
The Dakes currently own two other Pita Pit locations. They purchased their first in Bowling Green from its franchisee, then opened one of their own on Dorr Street near the University of Toledo.
The Dakes, who have been living in the Cleveland area, originally looked to open a restaurant there, but Gesicki worked as a delivery man at the Bowling Green Pita Pit while attending school, and had worked his way up to management. It was this connection that brought the Dakes into the business.
While her husband has continued his career in construction management, Dake now makes running the restaurants her full-time job, in addition to mom duties.
Dake said one of the most appealing things about Pita Pit is its uniqueness.
"The whole concept of what Pita Pit is, is that it's a healthy thing, but it's a quick thing," she said. "There really aren't a whole lot of fast options for healthy food. We have a lot of quality meats and sauces, and fewer ingredients."
Dake said the menu features a mix of Mediterranean and Greek options like falafel and hummus.
"We also have lots of sandwich options like prime rib and Philly steak, and a lot of vegetarian options," she said.
"Then we have our chicken breast, and it's our most versatile menu choice. You can do buffalo chicken, or chicken and ham with pineapple. Really, each pita is customized for every person who walks into the store."
Although nothing concrete has been planned, Dake said expansion is definitely part of the long-term business goal.
"We have an optimistic goal of 10 stores between Toledo and Cleveland, and we're just going to take it slow and steady, and take advantage of opportunities when they present themselves."

Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Los Angeles Clippers head coach Doc Rivers has agreed to a contract extension through the 2018-19 season, the team announced Wednesday.
Rivers led the Clippers to a franchise-best 57-25 record and a second straight Pacific Division title in his first season with the club. His future with the Clippers had become uncertain in the wake of the scandal involving former owner Donald Sterling.
Sterling received a lifetime ban from the NBA for racist remarks and the team was sold to Steve Ballmer.
"This is an important day for this organization," Ballmer said in a statement. "I am excited to work with Doc for a long time as we build a championship culture that will deliver results both on and off the court.
"Not only is Doc one of the best coaches and executives in the game, but he continually embodies the hard core, committed and resilient character and winning culture that the Clippers represent. It was one of my top priorities to ensure that he was firmly in place as the long-term leader of this team."
Rivers, 52, also serves as the team's president of basketball operations.
"Steve has shown a clear and determined desire to make the Clippers one of the most elite, first-class and championship organizations in all of professional sports," Rivers said in a statement. "We know we have work to do to get there, but I am motivated by the challenge and thankful for the opportunity to stand together with Steve as we continue to move toward our goal of winning an NBA title."
Rivers arrived in Los Angeles after a nine-year stint with Boston. He led the Celtics to the 2008 NBA title.

Hi, I lost twins last year at 21 weeks to severe preeclampsia. Though having twins is a risk for preeclampsia, I got it way earlier than normal, and I was a normal BMI. They put my risk at 60% of its returning at some time in a subsequent pregnancy. I am now 19 weeks and 3 days with a baby girl. So far, a little scare around 16 weeks with some slight rising BP's (the highest reached 130/90 which is not my norm), but now I seem to be having great BP's. I am still getting very nervous to enter the 20 week mark, especially since it hit me last time at the end of 20 weeks.
Any advice from other women on how they survived those early weeks when pre-e could come at any time, and the baby is too small to make it alive? Or anyone had any experience on just surviving pregnancy following traumatic pre-e in general without going crazy!? I am so afraid of having to go through the same horror, of not only losing my life, but the added fear of having to deliver a non-living child, one of the the worst horrors a mother can ever endure.

Resource-Intensive Google Queries
Google made a difference when produced search results in less than second. While that required a lot of parallel processing, the results compensated for the trouble.
Some of the resource-intensive queries are those that include advanced operators (like site:, inurl:). Other factors are: personalized search, OneBox results or strange queries that require access to the supplemental index.
In 1999, the average search took approximately 3 seconds. Now most of the searches take less than 0.4 seconds. But I could find a simple query that took 4.22 seconds, admittedly for the second page of results. I wonder what was the problem (it was something temporary, if I repeat the search - it takes 0.28 seconds). Can you find other resource-intensive Google queries?

The Scot admitted he would have preferred to be already clear of the drop zone but is confident he has the players to avoid dropping into the Championship.
Lambert claimed the fact Villa have been scrapping in the lower reaches for most of the season would stand them in good stead.
He said: "Every team in the bottom half of the table is in a battle now. We are four points off 12th and for much of the season we have been accustomed to this situation.
"We've been living through it and we've dealt with the pressures it brings.
"Suddenly, there are other teams that have been pulled into it, teams who haven't had to get their heads around it and we'll see now what happens.
"The important thing for us is that we don't get caught up in it all, that we continue to focus on our games, on our jobs and that's what we'll do."

If you're not familiar with Pages, it's a nearly decade-old program for high-schoolers, using the contemporary arts to spark critical thinking and writing. Spearheaded by the Wex, it involves myriad players—devoted teachers, willing schools (seven this past year, eight coming up), committed artists, community partners, Wex educators (led by Pages creator Dionne Custer Edwards), and about 200 students each year.
With schools and teachers focused on Core Curriculum and state requirements, a rigorous, out-of-the-box program like Pages isn't easy to pull off. A yearlong commitment, it includes visits to the Wex (for a visual arts, film, and performing arts experience), pre-sessions, post-sessions, writing in a variety of forms, discussion, art-making, an open mic, an exhibition, and a book publication at the end of the school year. Students learn how to think more creatively and critically, how to write more cogently and expressively, and how to talk more clearly and confidently about art.
But don't just take our word for it: We brought in an external evaluation firm, Randi Korn & Associates, based in Alexandria, VA, to follow and evaluate Pages this past school year. The firm used quantitative and qualitative methods, including scored pre- and post-assessments of writing, student interviews, and stakeholder interviews. The study showed that "Pages undoubtedly affects students' lens on the world, opening up their minds to various forms of art, ideas, and styles of writing."
A few more excerpts from the nearly 40-page report:
- Findings "demonstrate that the program deepens students' learning and has a tremendous impact on the way students experience art and writing."
- Results indicate that the program "has a direct and measurable effect on students' creative problem solving and critical thinking, not an easy task for a museum-based program."
- Three-quarters of students scored higher on observation after the program, meaning "their descriptions of works were more specific, detailed, and/or nuanced than they were before."
- The program "had a positive impact" on four areas of writing evaluated: language and description; language and meaning; composition and style; and intention and perspective.
- In interviews, students said they became more confident in their writing, "noting their increased joy in writing, the ownership and pride they feel over their writing, and the lack of inhibition they feel about sharing themselves personally and emotionally." Similarly, teachers described "students' desire to write more, their newfound understanding of the great variety of works of art and writing styles, and their abilities to express themselves creatively through writing."
- Teachers spoke highly of the professional development components of Pages, from planning discussions among the teachers to the Pages blog. One described "the creativity in teaching that Pages nurtures"; another was pleased with "the way it shifted my position in the classroom as a teacher" to more of a collaborator and learner alongside the students.
- One student noted, "Just this year, working with Pages has opened up my writing capabilities that I didn't know I had. I've actually gone on to write huge essays and poetry of all kinds." Another said, "My writing has become more me, if that makes sense." Yet another mentioned that the writing assignments took [him/her] "out of my comfort zone but it definitely made me a better writer." The art experiences, too, were addressed: Pages "brought me closer to [art]," one student said, "something I didn't count as valid before, and now it's one of the most important things to me."
Pages has touched about 1,800 high-school students over the years; this year, it welcomes students from Arts and College Preparatory Academy, Columbus Alternative, Delaware Area Career Center, Delaware Hayes, Franklin Heights, Mosaic, Pickerington Central, and Whetstone.
Watch for news about a public reading and exhibition in the spring, part of an ongoing partnership between the Wexner Center and the Columbus Metropolitan Library.

I'm torn by that terrific 3-post explanation of American History. For one thing, it's spot on and well-done. On the other hand, it was written by a Canadian! :laugh:
Seriously, 'tis a sad thing indeed when a citizen from another country knows our own history better than (I'd wager) 70-80% (at least!) of our own citizens.

$5M bond for Ohio suspect in 2 firefighter deaths
TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) - In a courtroom crowded Monday with firefighters and their supporters, an apartment building owner accused of setting a blaze that killed two firefighters was ordered held on $5 million bond.
Ray Abou-Arab, who was handcuffed and wearing a sleeveless smock, was arraigned in Toledo Municipal Court, appearing for the first time since he was charged on Friday with aggravated murder and arson.
Prosecutors and investigators revealed nothing new Monday about the fire, the arrest or a potential motive.
Abou-Arab, 61, was accused of using a flammable liquid to start the fast-moving fire that killed veteran firefighter Stephen Machcinski and rookie James Dickman, who were trapped inside in the apartment on Jan. 26.
An attorney representing the suspect did not comment on the charges or ask for a lower bond. Messages seeking comment were left at Abou-Arab's home and with his attorney.
Defense attorney James MacHarg did ask that police secure the scene of the fire until defense experts can examine the building.
About 60 firefighters and supporters, wearing red or black ribbons across their badges, marched as a group to the courthouse and packed the courtroom for Abou-Arab's first appearance since his arrest.
They turned silent when the suspect was led into court and several stared at Abou-Arab while he stood during the brief hearing. One firefighter held up a program from last week's memorial service for Machcinski and Dickman that had their photos on the front.
Toledo Fire Chief Luis Santiago said later at news conference that the arrest on Friday had unleashed negative emotions among firefighters. "It doesn't get any more personal," he said.
But he added that it was important to show restraint and respect the judicial system.
Santiago and Mayor D. Michael Collins would not answer any questions about what led to the arrest or the investigation, except to say the case was now in the hands of prosecutors.
Court documents filed Friday said Abou-Arab was in a garage at the site of the fire just before an apartment resident said she saw the blaze break out.
Radio calls from the scene of the fire indicated that the two firefighters faced rapidly deteriorating conditions once inside the six-unit apartment building near downtown. Firefighters found them inside, carried them out and tried unsuccessfully to save them.
Autopsies showed that Machcinski and Dickman died from burns and carbon monoxide exposure. No one else was seriously injured in the blaze.

Thursday, November 21, 2013
You don't need to have salt water running through your veins to join the Summerville Salt Water Anglers, but if you do that's ok.
The club was founded four years ago by a small group of dedicated anglers looking for an excuse to get together to celebrate and promote the activity they love. It's now up to 150 members, which makes it the biggest club of its type in the area. However, club president Warren Phillips says additional members are more than welcome.
"I'd say the club has something to offer both those who have never fished in salt water and want to learn about it and those who are experienced anglers," Phillips said. "We are a family oriented club that meets to talk about fishing and holds several tournaments a year. We have a lot of fun. I mean, I can't think of many things that are as amazing as seeing a 12-year-old pull in his first big catch."
The club holds meetings at the Summerville Country Club's Miler Pavilion on the second Wednesday of every month. Each meeting typically features a guest speaker, food and a raffle. Past speakers have included fly fishing experts, representatives from the DNR and Crosby Seafood, and fishermen with unique knowledge of local waters.
The Summerville Salt Water Anglers holds monthly fishing tournaments open to youth and adult members at no charge. Prizes are awarded for the biggest catch in each of four categories: Redfish, Trout, Flounder and Sheepshead. Points can be accumulated toward an Angler of the Year and Youth Angler of the Year contest.
In addition, the club hosts a series of approximately six more formalized tournaments during the year. A small fee is required for the series, but the emphasis remains on club members having a good time.
The club also participates in charitable endeavors and outreach projects such as the Oyster Reef Project.
On Nov. 15 the club held its End of the Year Party where it named its anglers of the year and presented a $3,100 check to Dorchester Children In Crisis officials.
"The focus of that organization is helping abused and neglected children which fits right in with our vision for the club," Phillips said. "Fishing is important to us but we are also geared towards youth involvement and helping in our community."
During the celebration Summerville Salt Water Anglers tournament directors Doug Connelley and Jody Tucker presented the Youth Angler of the Year Award to to Ian Fladd and the Adult Angler of the Year Award to David Fladd.

Daily Tip: How to set your iPhone or iPad calendar entries for different time zones
Taking a trip and curious how to set your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad
The calendar app for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch allows you to change the time zone for any event or meeting with just a few taps. Instead of trying to add and subtract time from your own time zone, just set those specific events or meetings for the time zone they're going to occur in.
Calendar will use whatever time zone your clock settings are set to by default. While this is fine in most scenarios, you also have the option of setting time zones on individual entries.
- First pop into your calendar app and click the "+" sign in the upper right to create a new event or meeting (or edit a current one).
- Fill out all the pertinent information for your entry.
- Now tap into the Start & End section of the entry.
- You'll see an option for time zone. Tap into it.
- Search for the city that you're going to be in and that you want the meeting or event to go by.
- Now just save your entry and you're good to go.
Adding events this way will keep your calendar from getting confused when you travel through times zones. As long as you have your iPhone set to update time automatically, your calendar will change with it and you'll be good to go!
Daily Tips range from beginner-level 101 to advanced-level ninjary. If you already know this tip, keep the link handy as a quick way to help a friend. If you have a tip of your own you'd like to suggest, add them to the comments or send them in to email@example.com. (If it's especially awesome and previously unknown to us, we'll even give ya a reward…)

Daily Tip: How to set your iPhone or iPad calendar entries for different time zones
You have to make sure time zone support is on in the calendar settings. In my opinion, it's best to leave time zone support off anyway. I hate when I add a calendar event and it shows the the wrong time because I'm in my home time zone. Example... I live in the mountain time zone and I add a calendar event for something in California. I enter the event to start at 6pm and select Los Angeles as the time zone. When I hit save, it shows the time 7pm because I'm still in the mountain zone. This makes it hard to review my appointments and I end up have to count time zones anyway if I haven't left my home location. Stupid feature!
time support is ON for my iphone4 and It doesn't show either iy calendar as an option.. Canada
Thanks P Fowls, I couldn't get this to work until you pointed out the time zone setting in calendar settings. Now works on my 4S (sprint)
no calendar settings for the iPhone 4 , only date and time .... anyone get it work on the iPhone 4?
I love this, allows me to have events for your podcasts that will automatically adjust when DST changes here
my only issue is that there's no general timezones like DST, instead I have to pick a location that's in DST, that's pretty minor though
I am at the Appel store and it only works on the iPhone 4s
Good information and valid as well. Blogs are a big deal in SEO and even getting more personal with your clients. Well written article, thanks.

Lionface Productions will close its 4th season with "The Shape of Things"Written by Guest Author | | firstname.lastname@example.com
By Chase Will
On April 10, Lionface Productions will close its 4th season with "The Shape of Things" by Neil LaBute.
The play follows Adam, a college student whose life is changed through an 18-month relationship with Evelyn, an attractive graduate student who quickly takes an interest in him. After coaxing Adam into making gradual healthy changes, Evelyn soon alienates him from his friends and reshapes everything about him, proving there's a catch to every dream come true.
"After reading the script, I realized the whole situation my character's in is very similar to stuff I've gone through in bits and pieces throughout my life," said Josh Powell, who plays Adam. "Some of the relationship things, dealing with friends, I can pull from real experiences."
"It's definitely a show for a college town," said Christina Hoekstra, director. "The themes in this show, as well as the sex and the language, are things I've never done in past shows I've directed. A few years ago it might've been uncomfortable, but it's a step toward becoming a better director."
Lionface Productions will celebrate its 4-year anniversary on May 1. The company began with a group of friends who aspired to put on the types of shows they rarely saw in the region. In 2009, they began with "Titus Andronicus," the goriest tragedy written by William Shakespeare. Although they'd planned only to do sporadic productions, audience reception revealed a niche opportunity, and the group began planning a full season.
"What we lack in funds and spectacle, we make up for with the talent of everyone involved," said Michael Portteus, Artistic Director for Lionface Productions. "We will always be the punk rock theatre company here in town. I don't think there's any amount of money that will change that."
"I actually started with Lionface back in their first official season," said Hoekstra. "I was pulled in to help with costuming for MacBeth, and it kind of built from there. It's been a long process, but it's been worth it."
Last year the company received several recognitions from The Ohio Community Theatre Association (OCTA), including best original play, "I Will Never Play Hamlet." This play premiered at Lionface Production's annual Winter One Acts, a selection of new plays by local writers.
"Winter One Acts is my baby," said Portteus. "Between Toledo and Bowling Green, we have some really talented people that just need a place for their work to be showcased, and it's great because every year we host a world premiere. No one else in town does that."
The company doesn't shy from controversial topics. Last season Portteus directed "The Laramie Project," a performance of interviews detailing the effects of a court case on a small Wyoming town. The case pertained to the brutal death of Matthew Sheppard, an open homosexual, and the implications this made about homophobia. On closing night after curtain call, applause continued until the cast came out for a second bow.
"I had to go backstage and bring them back out. Most people don't have to deal with that, because most shows don't get a second curtain call. I just stood backstage crying for a minute because it was beautiful," said Portteus. "Back when we did MacBeth in the park to kick off our first official season, the Sunday matinee crowd was unbelievable. Seeing that enormous amount of people all crowded together to see something we'd made, it told us we were right, that the community was starving for this. So we continue to give it to them."
"The Shape of Things" plays April 10-12 at 123 Court Street in Bowling Green. Shows begin at 8pm, and tickets are $5 at the door. For more information, visit www.lionfaceproductions.org or visit the company on Facebook.

COLUMBIA CITY — Returning for its 16th year, the Distinguished Young Woman program, formerly Junior Miss, will highlight 10 Whitley County high school senior girls.
The program will be held Saturday at 7 p.m. in the auditorium of Columbia City High School.
Admission is $10 for adults and $5 for students kindergarten through 12th grade.
Each of the participants will be scored in several categories. A panel interview, which will take place before the night's program, is a 10-minute discussion with judges.
In this interview, judges will be looking for perception, sense of values, clarity of expression, concern and ability in human relations.
A three-person panel of educators will review and rate the transcripts of each participant, scoring them on their academic achievements.

Migrants moving from Mexico to the United States represent the world's largest migration corridor, and the two countries have a long, complicated history with respect to immigration. Previously a country of emigration, Mexico increasingly has been experiencing new roles: as a country of transmigration and increasingly of settlement. The research here examines Mexico's relationship with its vast diaspora in the United States; the economic, insecurity, and other factors that have led to sizeable emigration; and the country's evolving policymaking with respect to migration.
An estimated 41.3 million immigrants lived in the United States in 2013, about 13 percent of the total U.S. population, constituting the world's largest foreign-born population. This Spotlight from MPI's Jie Zong and Jeanne Batalova offers the most current and sought-after data on immigrants in the United States—including origin, educational attainment, the unauthorized, deportations, and more—in one easy-to-use resource.
Find relevant MPI resources on the phenomenon of unaccompanied child migration—from research, articles, and public briefings that analyze the trends and policy developments surrounding the recent uptick in this migration to data on Central American immigrant populations and country profiles of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras—all in one place.

- Study of high-pressure glow discharges generated by micro-structured electrode (MSE) arrays (2005)
- This thesis is devoted to the study of Micro Structured Electrode (MSE) sustained discharges. Innovative approaches in this work are i) the implementation of MSE arrays for high-pressure plasma generation and ii) the use of diode laser atomic absorption spectroscopy for investigating sub-millimetric discharges. By means of MSE arrays the discharge gap is scaled down to the sub-millimetric range and accordingly the working pressure could be increased up to atmospheric. It should be underlined that besides the ease of use, since expensive vacuum equipment is not required, high-pressure discharges offer also a high density of active species. A MSE consists of holes, regularly distributed in a composite sheet made of two metal layers separated by an insulator. The electrodes and insulator thickness and the diameter of the holes are in the 100 micrometer range. Based on these microstructures stable non-filamentary DC discharges are generated in noble gases and gas mixtures at pressures up to 1000 mbar. The MSE sustained discharge can be considered as a normal glow discharge whereby the excitation and ionization efficiency is increased by the specific electrode configuration (hollow cathode geometry). Large area high-pressure plasma can be achieved by parallel operation of a large number of microdischarges. Parallel operation of up to 200 microdischarges without individual ballast was proven for pressures up to 300 mbar. Furthermore, arrays of resistively decoupled microdischarges were operated up to atmospheric pressure. Spectral investigations have revealed the presence of highly energetic electrons (20 eV), a large density of atoms in metastable states (1013 cm-3) and a high electron density (1015 cm-3). Although the plasma confined inside the hole of the MSE may reach gas temperatures up to 1000 K, the ambient gas temperature immediately above the microstructure exceeds only slightly the room temperature. The reactivity of the MSE sustained discharge was demonstrated in respect to waste gas decomposition and surface treatment. The MSE arrays are providing a non-equilibrium high-pressure plasma, which is very promising for surface processing, plasma chemistry and generation of UV radiation.
