The Overused and Under-Defined Notion of 'Material' in Securities Law
Dale A. Oesterle
Ohio State University (OSU) - Michael E. Moritz College of Law
February 28, 2011
Ohio State Public Law Working Paper No. 145
Core doctrine in federal securities law rests on a single word - "material." Federal statutes and agency anti-fraud rules and disclosure requirements contain the term as an essential qualifier and identifier. "Facts" or "information" must be "material" before a legal obligation to disclose attaches. In other words, the term material has an unrivaled position in the center of all of securities law and agency rules and court decisions applying the term necessarily establish the fundamental scope and bite of securities regulation. A study of close to eight hundred cases in which a federal court's applies the term to specific facts, however, finds that the case-law is, well, quixotic at best and fickle at worst. An argument on the proper breakdown of the cases is begun here.

Thomas Hockenhull and Ben Alsop, curators, British Museum
The British Museum collects and displays objects from across the world, and every year we are visited by millions of people from many different countries. In one section of the new Citi Money Gallery we had a simple plan to display at least one object from every country, and we decided that we could only achieve this within the available space by using coins.
Looking at the list of UN-recognised countries we began to search the extensive collection of the Department of Coins and Medals. Where possible we planned to exhibit coins, of the national currency, rather than a sub-denomination. The UK currency, for example, is represented by a pound coin and not a penny; the Euro by a euro coin and not a cent, and so on.
For the purposes of display, it was suggested that a spiral would be a really visually arresting design. Beginning with a two Afghani coin of Afghanistan and finishing with a Zimbabwean dollar, the coins spiral alphabetically by country from the centre to the outer edge of the display panel. There are 192 coins in total, with one space representing South Sudan, which issues banknotes but is yet to issue coins, following its independence in 2011.
A glance at the spiral provides for some interesting observations. For instance, not all member states of the United Nations have their own currencies. Some are part of monetary unions, such as the Bank of Central African States, while others, such as Micronesia, use the money of a much larger neighbour, the U.S. dollar.
The symbols and images countries choose to use on their coinage can be very different, each offering a different idea of nationhood. Individual countries may choose to depict a person, animal or symbols which are very particular to their society and history. Monetary unions on the other hand need to find a unifying factor which helps to group the various countries together using one image.
We are keen to display the most recent coins possible and welcome the donation of newer coins to help us keep the display as up to date as we can.
We also created an online version: why not see how many you recognise?

Many people who live and work in Emery County are unaware of the abundant population of bluehead suckers that reside in Millsite Reservoir and Ferron Creek. The bluehead sucker is classified as a sensitive species fish in the State of Utah, and may not be possessed or used in any way.
Although it's very unlikely that an angler will catch a bluehead sucker, any sucker caught must be immediately released unharmed. The penalty for keeping a bluehead sucker or any other sensitive, threatened or endangered species can be very severe.
The bluehead sucker is identified by a light blue band on the head that extends down and around the gill covers. Blueheads resemble other bottom feeders with the typical "sucker" mouth. They don't resemble trout or any other game fish. However, a good rule of thumb is: "When in doubt â throw it back."
Research is being conducted on the bluehead population in Millsite, because normally they occur only in running water. The growing population at Millsite Reservoir is out of character with the species. If you'd like to learn more about the bluehead sucker, an Internet search will bring up thousands of information sources.

Some things to know about the Islamic terrorist force responsible for the attack on the Westgate mall in Nairobi, Kenya.
Q. What is al-Shabab?
A. Al-Shabab is an Islamic terrorist force that grew out of the anarchy that crippled Somalia after warlords ousted a longtime dictator in 1991. Allied with al-Qaeda, its name means "The Youth" in Arabic and it seeks to establish a fundamentalist Islamic state in the East African nation.
Al-Shabab is estimated to have several thousand fighters, including a few hundred foreign fighters. Al-Shabab is inspired by the Wahabi version of Islam, the same sect as Osama bin Laden.
STORY: Hostages still held in mall
Q. Where is al-Shabab?
A. Al-Shabab won control of almost all of Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, in 2006, and held large swaths of central and southern Somalia until a force from the African Union, including soldiers from neighboring Kenya and Uganda, pushed the militants out of the city in 2011. The United States backed the first African intervention.
Al-Shabab still controls many rural areas in Somalia where they impose strict shariah law, including stoning to death women accused of adultery and amputating the hands of accused thieves. It has launched many deadly suicide bomb attacks.
Q. Al-Qaeda links?
A. Al-Shabab leader Mukhtar Abu Zubair has pledged allegiance to the global terror movement al-Qaeda, which seeks to impose Islamic rule by force worldwide. Al-Qaeda's 2002 attacks on an Israeli-owned Kenyan resort in Mombasa and an attempted attack on a plane carrying Israeli tourists are believed to have been planned by an al-Qaeda cell in Somalia.
Q. Where does al-Shabab's money come from?
A. Before African troops moved in, al-Shabab was making a steady income from duties and fees levied at ports and airports as well as extorting taxes on domestic produce and demanding "jihadi" contributions. A United Nations report estimated al-Shabab's income in 2011 at $70 million to $100 million.
Q. What is al-Shabab's status in Somalia?
A. Somalia's first elected government in more than two decades won power a year ago and, together with the African Union force, has the opportunity to create "a window of opportunity to fundamentally change Somalia's trajectory," according to the U.S. State Department.

Alison Rhodes, "The
Safety Mom"
National Child Safety Expert, Alison Rhodes, "The Safety Mom," is one of the country's
leading child safety authorities, providing tips and advice to parents on a broad
range of issues facing all children - newborns to teens. Read
Autism is one of five disorders under the general classification of Pervasive Developmental Disorders (PDD), a category of neurological disorders characterized by severe and pervasive impairment in several areas of development. Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning it affects everyone differently; some are mildly affected, but most are significantly impaired and require lifelong supervision and care. Many children with autism will never be able to tell their parents they love them.
Autism is the most common of the Pervasive Developmental Disorders, affecting an estimated 1 in 166 births according to the Centers for Disease Control Prevention. This means that as many as 1.5 million Americans have some form of autism, making it the second most common developmental disability after mental retardation. According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Education and other governmental agencies, autism is growing at a startling rate of 10 to 17 percent per year. Yet despite the strikingly high and increasing prevalence, autism research remains one of the lowest funded areas of medical research by both public and private sources.
There is no known single cause for autism, but brain scans show differences in the shape and structure of the brain in autistic children. Researchers are investigating a number of theoretical causes, including a possible link between heredity, genetics and other medical problems. While no single gene has been identified as causing autism, there appears to be a pattern of autism or related disabilities in many families, further supporting a genetic basis to the disorder.
Autism can usually be detected by the time a child is 3 years old, and in some cases as early as 18 months; however, it is estimated that only 50 percent of children are diagnosed before kindergarten. In some children, hints of future problems may be apparent from birth; but in most cases the problems in communication and social skills become more noticeable as the child lags further behind other children the same age. Some parents report the change as being sudden; in other cases, there is a gradual leveling of development.
All children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) demonstrate deficits in social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication, and repetitive behaviors or interests. In addition, they often have unusual responses to sensory experiences, such as certain sounds or the way objects look. A child may be autistic if he or she:

Journey through France and Italy (1787)
From Thomas Jefferson Encyclopedia
"I am just setting out on a journey of three months to the South of France." - Thomas Jefferson to Elizabeth House Trist, Paris, February 23, 1787[1]
On February 28, 1787 the forty-four-year-old Thomas Jefferson left Paris for a three month, twelve-hundred-mile journey to southern France and northern Italy.[2] A trip scheduled 5 months earlier was postponed after he injured his right wrist, and his subsequent itinerary was changed to include the south of France, at the advice of his surgeon. Jefferson wrote: "I am now about setting out on a journey to the South of France, one object of which is to try the mineral waters there for the restoration of my hand, but another is to visit all the seaports where we have trade, and to hunt up all the inconveniencies under which it labours, in order to get them rectified. I shall visit and carefully examine too the Canal of Languedoc."[3]
Traveling as a private citizen from Virginia, not as a diplomat, Thomas Jefferson paid his own way, and none of his Paris servants went with him. Preferring to travel alone and anonymously, he chose to hire valets in each town. In Dijon, he made an exception, and hired Petit Jean, who stayed with him the entire trip.[4] "I was alone thro the whole, and think one travels more usefully when they travel alone, because they reflect more."[5]
Jefferson traveled in his own carriage drawn by post horses. Every ten miles at a post house, he paid for another postilion and fresh horses. He used three horses until he got to Lyon, and after that time he had four or five.[6] The carriage required frequent wheel repairs.
In Champagne, Burgundy, Beaujolais, and Bordeaux Jefferson compared red and white wines, the soils in which they were cultivated, how well the wines withstood transport, and prices. He wrote in depth about the planting and pruning of the vines. Continuing his agricultural investigation into the north of Italy, he observed techniques used in the growing of rice. "the greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add an useful plant to it's culture..." he wrote in 1800 in his list of contributions he had made to his country. On that list he also mentioned having "had a great number of olive plants of the best kind sent from Marseilles to Charleston for S. Carola & Georgia."[7] He smuggled rice seed, "on his own person," at tremendous risk, from Italy and sent it to South Carolina. If caught, "Sardinian law prescribed death as the penalty for the unauthorized export of seed rice."[8]
In his journal, "Notes of a Tour into the Southern Parts of France, &c.," and in his letters, he wrote in detail about the people he met in each area. "you must ferret the people out of their hovels as I have done, look into their kettles, eat their bread, loll on their beds under pretence of resting yourself, but in fact to find if they are soft. You will feel a sublime pleasure in the course of this investigation..."[9]
"Architecture, painting, sculpture, antiquities, agriculture, the condition of the labouring poor fill all my moments," he wrote to William Short.[10] At Nîmes he visited the Maison Carrée, the Roman temple he so admired and chose as the model for the Virginia state capitol. He also visited the Pont du Gard, part of an aqueduct constructed in 19 B.C.
When he reached Aix-en-Provence Jefferson noted that "the temperature of the mineral waters of Aix is 90.° of Farenheit's thermometer at the spout."PTJ, 11:427.</ref> Apparently the waters did little to ease the discomfort in his injured wrist, however; he later wrote that he had "taken 40. douches, without any sensible benefit."[11] Smitten by the sunshine in Aix, he wrote to William Short: "I am now in the land of corn, wine, oil, and sunshine. What more can man ask of heaven? If I should happen to die at Paris I will beg of you to send me here, land have me exposed to the sun. I am sure it will bring me to life again."[12]
The Canal of Languedoc (today known as the Canal du Midi) was of great interest to Jefferson. This waterway, dating to the seventeenth century, united the Mediterranean with the Atlantic Ocean. He wrote to William Short: "I have passed through the Canal from it's entrance into the mediterranean at Cette to this place, and shall be immediately at Toulouse, in the whole 200 American miles, by water; having employed in examining all it's details nine days, one of which was spent in making a tour of 40 miles on horseback, among the Montagnes noires, to see the manner in which water has been collected to supply the canal; the other eight on the canal itself. I dismounted my carriage from it's wheels, placed it on the deck of a light bark, and was thus towed on the canal instead of the post road. That I might be perfectly master of all the delays necessary, I hired a bark to myself by the day, and have made from 20. to 35 miles a day, according to circumstances, always sleeping ashore. Of all the methods of travelling I have ever tried this is the pleasantest. I walk the greater part of the way along the banks of the canal, level, and lined with a double row of trees which furnish shade. When fatigued I take seat in my carriage where, as much at ease as if in my study, I read, write, or observe."[13]
Jefferson began traveling again in his carriage on May 22, 1787. He reached Bordeaux late on May 24, 1787 and stayed at the Hôtel Richelieu where he enjoyed fresh cherries, peas, and strawberries. On May 28 he ferried across the Garonne and stayed in Blaye overnight. The next day he traveled the northwest route to La Rochelle. From La Rochelle he went to Nantes, and on June 1, 1787 he left Nantes and made his way to the north shore of Loire. By June 6th he arrived at Aucenis; he changed horses but didn't visit the sites of the town and continued on to the north bank of Loire. At Amboise he did some sightseeing and had carriage repairs. By June 10th, he reached Paris after being away more than three months.
Below is an itinerary of the places Jefferson visited during his journey throu southern France and Italy and his observations.
28 February—2 March: Fontainbleau: Jefferson left Paris and traveled as far as Fontainebleau, where he was delayed for two days because of problems with the wheels of his carriage.
2 March: Sens: At Sens he noted paying to see its cathedral and climbed to the top of the cathedral's tower to see the town's buildings.[15]
Moret, Faussard, Villeneuve, Pont sur Yonne, Sens
3 March: Champagne. Sens to Vermanton. In his Notes, Jefferson recorded: " The soil is generally a rich mulatto loam…The plains are in corn…the hills in vineyard, but the wine not good…Few apple trees…no cattle, sheep or swine. Fine mules."[16]
4 March: Burgundy: Lucy le bois, Cussy les forges, Rouvray, Maison-neuve, Vitteaux, La Charleure, Pont de Panis, Dijon (Hotel de Condé). "The soil a good red loam…All in corn. Some forest wood here…Now and then a flock of sheep…The people are well clothed, but it is Sunday." "Dijon…The best round potatoes here I ever saw."[17]
7-8 March: La Baraque to Chagny. Dijon, La Baraque, Nuits, Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Meursault. Aussy, Chagny, Chalon-sur-Saone, Sennecey, Tournus. "The plains are in corn, the Cote in vines."[18]
9 March: Chalons, Sennecy, Tournus, St. Albin, Macon. "The vineyards are inclosed with dry stone walls…The cattle are few and indifferent..some good oxen…Few sheep…A good deal of wood lands."[19] Beaujolais: Maison blanche. St. George. Chateau de Laye-Epinaye. "This is the richest country I ever beheld…Here, as in Burgundy, the cattle are all white…The wild gooseberry is in leaf, the wild pear and sweet briar in bud."[20]
11 March: Ville franche, Les Echelles, Puits d'or, Lyons (Hôtel du Palais royal). Lyon: "The Almond is in bloom."<source?>
15-18 March: Dauphine: St. Fond to Mornas. St. Symphorin, Vienne. "The Rhone makes extensive plains…the high lands are often very level. The soil…is generally tinged, more or less, with red….In the neighborhood of Lyons there is more corn, almonds, and oaks; the hills are in vines."[21]
18 March: Principality of Orange. "No forest. Here begins the country of olives…Thyme growing wild here on the hills. Asses very small…The high hills in Dauphiné are covered with snow."[22]
19-23 March: Languedoc. Pont St. Esprit. Bagnols. Connault. Valignieres. Remoulins. St. Gervasy. Nismes. Pont Bagnols, Connault, Valliguières, Remoulins, St. Gervasy, Nismes, Pont d'Arles. "The hills are rocky…The culture is corn, clover, St. foin, olives, vines, mulberries, willow, and some almonds." At Nîmes his enthusiasm for seeing, for the first time, the Maison Carrée, the building design he chose for the Virginia state capitol in Richmond, is seen in a letter he wrote to Madame de Tessé: "Here I am, madam, gazing whole hours at the Maison quarrée, like a lover at his mistress…From Lyons to Nismes I have been nourished with the remains of Roman grandeur."[23] At Remoulins, Jefferson "stopped...long enough to see the Pont du Gard."[24]
24 March: Nismes to Arles: "The plains extending from Nismes to the Rhone in the direction of Arles is broken in one place by a skirt of low hills…" "The high hills of Languedoc are covered with snow. At an antient church in the suburbs of Arles are perhaps some hundreds of antient stone coffins along the road side.…But the principal monument here is an Amphitheatre, the external portico of which is tolerably compleat…"[25] Terrasson: St. Remis.
25 March: Orgon. Pontroyal. St. Cannat: "From Orgon to Pontroyal, after quitting the plains of the Rhone, the country seems still to be a plain cut into compartments, by chains of mountains of massive rock running thro it in various directions."
25–28 March: Aix (Hotel St. Jaques). "The country is waving, in vines, pasture of green swerd and clover, much inclosed with stone, and abounding with sheep."[26]
29 March: Marseilles. Jefferson spent a week at the Hôtel des Princes in Marseilles. In his journal he wrote: "The country is hilly, intersected by chains of hills and mountains of massive rock.The soil is reddish, stony and indifferent where best. Whenever there is any soil it is covered with olives…There are 6. or 8. months at a time here without rain. The most delicate figs known in Europe are those growing about this place, called figues Marcelloises, or les veritables Marcelloises, to distinguish them from others of inferior quality growing here."[27]
6 April: Marseilles to Aubagne. Hieres. "This is a plain of two or three miles diameter, bounded by the sea on one side and mountains of rock on the other." Toulon: "From Olioules to Toulon the figs are in the open fields. Some of them have stems of 15.I. diameter. They generally fork near the ground, but sometimes have a single stem of 5.f. long. They are as large as Apricot trees. The Olive trees of this day's journey are about the size of large apple trees."[28]
8 April: Toulon, Hyères, Cuers, Pignans, le Luc (Hotel St. Anne).
9 April: Vidauban, le My, Fréjus, Lestrelles, Napoule, Antibes. "There is snow on the high mountains. The first frogs I have heard are of this day (the 9th). At Antibes are oranges in the open ground, but in small inclosures: palm trees also. From thence to the Var are the largest fig trees and olive trees I have seen."
10 April: Nice: (Hotel de York).
11 April: Nice. "The pine bur I used here for kindling fires."
13 April: Scarena, Sospello. "There are no orange trees after we leave the environs of Nice."
14 April: Ciandola. Tende.
15 April: Limone. Coni
16 April: Centale. Savigliano. Racconigi. Poerino. Turin. "The alps, as far as they are in view from North to South, shew the gradation of climate by the line which terminates the snows lying on them."
19 April: Settimo. Chivasco. Ciliano. S. Germano. Vercelli. " The country continues plain and rich, the soil black."
20 April: Vercelli, Novara, Buffalora, Sedriano, and Milan (Albergo Reale). "From Vercelli to Novara the fields are all in rice, and now mostly under water."
21-22 April: Milan. "Figs and pomegranates grow here unsheltered, as I am told." "—Among a great many houses painted al fresco, the Casa Roma and Casa Candiani by Appiani, and Casa Belgioiosa by Martin are superior."
23 April: Leaves Milan. Casino. Rozzano. "It is supposed [Parmesan cheese] was formerly made at Parma, and took it's name thence, but none is made there now. It is made thro all the country extending from Milan 150 miles." "The ice-houses at Rozzano are dug about 15.f. deep, and 20.f. diameter and poles are driven down all round." Binasco. Pavia. "Near Cassino the rice ponds begin and continue to within 5. miles of Pavia, the whole ground being in rice, pasture, and willows…They gave me green peas at Pavia."
24 April: Voghera. Tortona. Novi.
25 April: Voltaggio, Campo Marone, and Genoa. "At Novi the Appenines begin to rise. Their growth of timber is oak, tall, small, and knotty and chestnut."
26 April: Genoa. "Strawberries at Genoa."
28 April: Noli. "The Appenine and Alps appear to me to be one and the same continued ridge of mountains, separating every where the waters of the Adriatic gulph from those of the Mediterranean."
29 April: Albenga
30 April: Oneglia and St. Remo (Augerge de la poste). "The wind continuing contrary, I took mules at Albenga for Oneglia. Along this tract are many of the tree called Carroubier, being a species of Locust…It's pods furnish food for horses and even for the poor in times of scarcity."
3 May: Luc. Brignolles. Tourves. Pourcieux. La Galiniere. Aix (Hotel St. Jaques).

11 May: Montpellier.
12 May: Frontignan. Cette.
13 May: Agde.
15 May: Beziers. Argilies. LeSaumal.----On the Canal of Languedoc. "The Canal of Languedoc along which I now travel is 6. toises wide at bottom, and 10 toises at the surface of the water, which is 1. toise deep…The locks are mostly kept by women, but the necessary operations are much too laborious for them. The encroachments by the men on the offices proper for the women is a great derangement in the order of things. Men are shoemakers, tailors, upholsterers, staymakers, mantua makers, cooks, doorkeepers, housekeepers, housecleaners, bedmakers."
16 May: Le Samumal. Marseillette.
18 May: Carcassonne. Castelnaudari. (Hotel de St. Jean Baptiste)

The College of Eastern Utah trailed early in their game against Wallace State Community College (Ala.) on Thursday, March 18 before settling down to close the gap and pull away for an 82-66 win in the quarterfinals of the National Junior College Athletic Association basketball championships in Hutchinson, Kan.
The victory is the second straight for the Eagles in the series and puts the squad in the national semifinals where they will play the winner of the Howard/Walters State contest currently underway.
After leading by 21 in the second half the Eagles allowed the Lions to pull it to 12 more than once as they fought off Wallace. Fouls played a huge role in the game giving the Eagles 22 points from the charity line. Jonathan Mills led the Eagles with a game-high 19 points, while teammate Michael Glover poured in 16.
The first half started slow for the Eagles, trailing early by seven at one point, the squad managed to rally and pull it back. The offense struggled for the first 10 minutes of the game. Once the team started playing together, much of that due to Mills' performance, they shortened the lead and finally tied at 16 with eight minutes left in the first half. Mills led the team with points and rebounds in the first half. Early in the game the Lions were using man to man defense that kept the Eagles off-guard but did not allow the Lions to dominate rebounds. Rebounding aided the Eagles in gaining, maintaining and the finally lengthening their lead.
The score was close until the last five minutes of the first half when CEU took off. Wallace State's L.A. Farmer hit several three-pointers to keep them close but the momentum shifted as he started missing his shots. The defense never picked up the slack as the Eagles ran away with the game. Fouls played a big roll in the Eagles keeping ahead of the Lions. The Eagles shot just over 50 percent from the line going 9-16 in the first half. Jonathan Mills led the way scoring with 13 points. Farmer led the way with 10 points for the Lions after hitting two three-pointers.
Second half play started with CEU dominated every aspect of the game. The Eagles stepped up their offense forcing the Lions to step up their game. Eastern Utah played a hurry up offense which started to cause problems for the Eagles. Once they settled down and started using the clock effectively they rallied to maintain the lead. Crowe led the charge to close the gap. He started to light up the score board from beyond the arc.
CEU needed to adjust their defense to cope with the drop back shot. With 13 minutes remaining in the game Darrin Williams received an intentional foul for hitting Mills under the basket. CEU controlled the tempo for the majority of the second half but Coach Chris Craig reminded his team to keep their foot on the gas pedal. Staying aggressive and focused also were points mentioned by the coach. The Lions never let up on defense and were quick to get rebounds and take advantage of the Eagle errors.

Gorgeous but badly made! Avoid!!
"I bought these as a Christmas gift for my husband. Within 5 minutes of wearing them in the house, they split at the seam. I was so upset - as was he because they actually look great. Too bad they are horribly constructed. I want to return these for what I paid. This is ridiculous that A shoe would fall apart at the seam within 5 minutes. My husband is average height and weight. Nothing crazy except a poorly made shoe."

Awesome pair of shoes!
"I have never gotten so many compliments on a pair of shoes in my life! Not only are they stylish, but they are very comfortable as well. I've worn these shoes with both dress pants and jeans, and they are perfect for either a dressier or a more casual look. Well worth the price paid for them!"

text: Debating whether to move or improve? Here are some important financial factors to consider. It's all based on costs and trade-offs. Remodeling can have a big price tag, but can increase your home's current value. Moving takes you somewhere new, but can cost 10 to 15 percent over the value of your present home. Do the math, and make sure you're making the right move. If you ultimately decide to stay and improve - be sure you're not over-doing it for the price range of your neighborhood.

Death is never more than a whisper away. We who are gamers and who make connections around the globe are only now beginning to come to terms with the impact of real-world deaths of some of our internet friends. In his latest column, Matt Miller talks about the death of a City of Heroes friend.
I learned this morning that a very well beloved player of City of Heroes passed away. Sometimes dealing with the digital world so much you forget that there is a real person behind an avatar, one that doesn't get to respawn in the hospital when they die. In this case the community member was held in high regard by the team at Cryptic and Paragon for his utter love of the game and his dry wit humor he wove into the story of Paragon City.
Read more of Matt Miller's A Death in the Family.
You're right, in an age of social media, we're only learning how to deal with death in internet spaces between people that have never physically met. It's disgusting that some players would fake such a thing for an in-game memorial.
This reminds me of the story of Ribbitribbet from EQ2. That community did a good thing for that young man and his family during a very difficult time.
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
Sad news indeed.
Tre and I had a few fun RP conversations together, (especially in regards to Ascendant raising he's profile appearing alongside soap star Lightning Arc!), and it's all too rare these days to have those conversations with people in today's generation of MMO's. Times, inevitability, change.
I never knew him in real life and I hadn't been in contact with the COH community for years but I had the impression, from my few interactions with him, that he was a passionate and creative guy who had so much to offer. Condolences to he's family and friends.
This looks like a job for....The Riviera Kid!
I was never around for Ascendant's bit and I'm very sorry to say that I'd never even heard of it until now. I always walked past the NPC that would say, "Ascendant who? Sorry, you must have the wrong number," or something very close to that. Bob Newhart has always been a wonderful actor and comedian and your friend sounds like a very cool person to share his comedy style with our game-playing community.
I really wish I could have known him. Thank you for filling me in on the other side of the story. On behalf of all former City of Heroes players I wish to express condolences on the loss of your friend.(queues Atlas Park entry music)
Yes, I've read a poem. Try not to faint.
Gamed with Tre, but not enough. The man had a way with words, but moreso timing; like comedy, Roleplay keyed off of having a flow that Tre had not only mastered but set the template for so many others to follow in a medium that was just being explored. I had several conversations in game and all of them were amazing. Moreso was his love for charity and helping others; he truly was a good man.
Service will be Thursday in Florida, and some people are spending hundreds of dollars to fly out to be in attendence, others are making donations in his name to Covenant Hospice, 5041 N. 12th Ave., Pensacola or Holy Cross Episcopal Church, 7979 N 9th Ave., Pensacola.

I attended a vigil online in Champions Online a couple of months ago for a player who had passed. He had gone to Champions from City when the other game went into open beta, and he evidently never looked back. I don't know what his name was in City, but in Champions it was Angel of Caine.
The discussion started almost immediately on the official forum on whether to petition for a statue of him somewhere in game. It only took a page for the negative comments to start, but this was someone, like Ascendant, who all of the longtime players had known in game. I doubt anything will come of it, for a number of reasons, but, while I can understand the slippery slope, when it's someone who made such an impact, that person needs to be remembered.
That said, I think the way you guys at Paragon (or, if it was Cryptic at the time) paid tribute to him City of Heroes was more fitting than a statue. I did my little tribute in Champions, and others have done theirs in their games. Now, we just carry him with us, keeping all the positivity that he embodied alive in our various communities.

Death is always tough to deal with. You painted the picture of viewing your friends name and watching the time since last log in increasing and just knowing that name will never light up again.I don't doubt, in fact I know that in game relationships can be just as deep and emotionally involved as real world out of game ones. They may even be deeper and more emotionally involved because in the world of mmorpgs you just never know the time and place and circumstances you might meet someone that connects with you like no one ever has in or out of game.
As I started with, death is always tough to deal with, I have found though that when I know someone I care for dies, it's much easier to cope with that loss when I know that person is a Christian. On the flip side if I am unsure of thier faith I hope that they were, and when I see someone that flat out denies Christ and they pass, it's very difficult to deal with. I pray that even in thier final breath they accepted Christ. I didn't know Tre Chipman but when I see people reacting enough to write an article about him, it's obvious he was a great person to be around and he brought joy to others. I like people like that and I pray that he had accepted Christ even if it was in his final hour.
I have two things to say about Ascendant. First, he was the first friend I made in CoH. It was the end of Beta. The Rikti Warships were coming down. And my character, Nomex Lass... motorcycle helmet, and a fire retardant suit... fire blaster, I think, was standing outside the Steel Canyon north tram, waiting. And this guy began to speak. He stole a bit from the St. Crispin's day speech, and a bit from Churchill, but it worked. I thought he was a dev, to be honest, because even then, he had it scripted to play evenly. And we fought the Rikti together, on the north side of Steel. And we fell back, as they advanced, past Icon, past the Magic Store. We fought them inside the hospital, and even in the recovery room itself. And we gathered people together, and we pushed them back, all the way to the tram. Or that's how it felt, at least. I remember we went looking for new zones to clear...
I am making a tribute to Ascendant. But I was, even before he grew ill. It's a new game, in the spirit of the City, a new city. I didn't talk to him about it, because I didn't want to get his hopes up, to bring them crashing back down if we failed.
But my decision to work on that new game, with so many other people, so much effort that may be wasted, stems back, at heart, to Ascendant and that day. That day will never exist again for me. But for someone else, it will.
It's true, a giant has fallen. And his gift, more than anything else, was to make you feel he was listening to you. Anyone who met him will say that. He was interested in you, and he treated you, not like he was a celebrity, but like he was someone who wanted to make you the best player you could, to unlock your character's best, hero, or villain.
They will never know his name. But as long as I can, as long as I work and live, when I need to be the best person I can, I think of Ascendant, of Tre. And if I inspire others, then he will live on in them.
Thank you, Mr. Miller.
Tre did this for me: when my mother died in March, he spent hours in chat with me, doing his best to help me, consoling me, letting me rant. He spent more time with me than most of the people I know in the "real" world.
That's how you know someone is a hero; they spend their precious time, not on something that makes them happy, but on trying to help other people. We have so little time on this world, and so many people waste theirs, but Tre spent so much of his to help others and make them smile.
Thanks for writing this, Matt.

...it is very true, friendship is not all face to face in this day and age. I am sorry to hear of the loss.
Sorry to hear about Ascendant's passing. I never knew him, but did hear the NPC chatter about him. I didn't know until today what that was about. Sounds like a great guy.

Sometimes the players can get the ball rolling on something and the developers can help. Like how Warhammer Online had "Pink for Tink" which the developers eventually showed their support by adding "Slaneesh Pink" at an NPC named "Tinkengrubber" with the title "Very Special Dye Vendor".
This to me stands out as something "very special".

I know this wasn't about matt but I second this. I hope he gets back into making games again.
Our guild is a 25+ and we have a lot of members who are older gamers. At first I don't think anyone every really thought about anyone dieing. When out first member passed it was pretty shocking to think that someone you knew just died and will never log in again.
8 years later it's pretty sad to see how many names are in our gone but not forgotten section. One thing about the internet and mmos is you meet so many ppl. I know 1000s of people who are part of my community and it's something I'd never be exposed to in real life.
My thoughts are with those of you who have been touched by this loss.
Over in our world we have our own little solution to loss, given that with some we do not ever know when a character just stops logging in and no message is ever heard. Each year on 11/11 we hold an open remeberance ceremony that any may attend and name a loved absent character, we had to limit the numbers to 1 per person to save time, but as we hold it each year the numbers do grow increasingly large. We record all the names spoken and the updated list is maintained on our guilds forum. while not perfect it seems to work well for us, and a genuinely sombre mood filled with pathos is created. Lest we Forget.
Brightest Blessings

Condolences to all who are touched by the death of this person.
Huge thanks to Matt for writing a compassionate, thoughtful and sensitive piece on a subject which touches us all and is not talked about enough in such an open and honest way.
Matt would know me as DJ Pheonyx of The Cape Radio. This past Saturday I did a tribute to Ascendant in Champions Online (one of the two games the station moved to since CoH's closing, the other being The Secret World) on my show, but not a somber rememberance, but rather "Ascendant's Dance Party", music that, if he were in CoH, would do the /em dance 6 emote, or Monkey Dance... which Ascnedant called "The Spazz Dance". There were several tribute outfits at the show and the DJ Pheonyx character ingame wore a shirt with Ascendant's logo and color palatte. Tre and I were working with several others to start a comic book company, in which Ascendant would be one of the characters (modified to fit this new universe and no ties to CoH). Tre was a wonderful person outside the game, one of the most creative minds I have known.
As a personal tribute to him, since I play Star Trek Online, I have named my Vice Admiral Vesta class science vessel the U.S.S. Ascendant.
Tre will be forever in the hearts of all the lives he touched.

Well thought out article by Matt on an issue which when you think about it may touch any of us at any time in our online lives. It is very tricky with people wanting fame of some sort of being sure what to do when someone seems to have died. Not everyone is as well known as the fellow in question.
Heart warming to see the tributes to him that have been made.
You received 25 Agrees. You're posting some good content. Great!

Now Doesn't That Make You Feel All Warm And Fuzzy? :P
Great article. I never knew Descendant, but that bit he did was gold.
I also never had a chance to meet Coyote as I didn't start playing until about six months after the game's release, but I do know his brother. His brother never played the game until he heard about Coyote being in the tutorial. I know he was sad that the old tutorial was replaced, but he was still playing for years after that.

Ever wish you could hop between Midtown, Downtown and Gaines Street on Friday night without needing your car? Well, StarMetro may soon have an option for you.
Today, the transit agency announced that it will be hosting two public meetings to gain feedback on a proposed Midtown-Downtown trolley. The first public meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 25, from 4 – 6 p.m. at the Tallahassee Board of Realtors Office, located at 1029 Thomasville Road. The second public meeting will take place on Thursday, June 27, from 6 – 8 p.m. at the Council on Culture and Arts building, located at 816 S. MLK Jr. Boulevard.
"The goal of these public meetings is two-fold," said Ivan Maldonado, director of StarMetro. "One, we want to introduce this concept of a trolley serving our Tallahassee nighttime leisure areas, and, two, we want to gain some insight from area residents and local business owners about how this trolley service would best serve their transportation needs."
The proposed trolley service would be FREE to customers and would travel along Thomasville Road, Sixth Avenue, Monroe Street and Gaines Street. It would serve major destinations such as the Wine Loft, Hotel Duval, Harry's Seafood Bar and Grill, All Saints District and College Town, which is expected to be completed sometime this fall. The proposed hours of operation would be 5 p.m. – 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights. The route would run every 20 minutes.
"The goal of this trolley loop is to support our local Midtown, Downtown and Gaines Street area businesses," said City Commissioner Nancy Miller, lead commissioner on the City's Long Range Planning target issue committee. "The trolley will add a fun and convenient way to make it easy for customers to move safely from one area to another. This is a public-private partnership between the City of Tallahassee, the Downtown Improvement Authority and the Midtown Merchants Association."
The proposed route would cost $120,000/annually.
For more information about StarMetro services, please call StarMetro's main office at 891-5200 or visit Talgov.com/starmetro.

Several issues iffy in Santa Fe
January 17, 2009
As if the state's budget crunch wasn't enough, lawmakers in the session starting Tuesday will tackle issues from the death penalty to gay marriage.
Here's a look at some key issues and their chances of surviving the next 60 days.
Ethics reform
It's a hot topic — again — given questions about campaign contributions to a Gov. Bill Richardson PAC by a company that did business with the state as well as other scandals in the news.
Expect proposals on limiting campaign contributions, creating an independent ethics commission and more transparent and frequent campaign reporting. Also, bet on a measure to better protect whistle-blowers in state government. Attorney General Gary King said he also wants to improve the state's Inspection of Public Records Act.
Prognosis: Iffy. The Senate didn't pass significant ethics reform after the kickback scandal that eventually put two state treasurers in prison. They did even less after former Sen. Manny Aragon was charged (later to be convicted) in another scandal. Will the recent pay-to-play scandals be enough to push ethics reform through?
Crime fighting
Never a topic that gets ignored by legislators.
Expect bills that would prohibit the sale of alcohol to anyone with an ignition interlock installed on their car. Other measures would step up enforcement of underage drinking, DWI and methamphetamine.
Prognosis: Depends on the proposal, but the Legislature pretty much every year passes some amendment to current criminal statutes, usually at least one related to DWI and domestic violence.
Health care
It was the topic in 2008. Not anymore. Advocates say they still hope lawmakers will reform the state's health care system, but with so little money available, that doesn't seem to be a priority of the Gov. Bill Richardson administration.
And part of Richardson's budget proposal would deauthorize $32.5 million approved in last fall's special session on health care that would have added 17,000 additional children to Medicaid.
Prognosis: Some bills with no major costs attached have a chance, including the Electronic Medical Records Act, so look for the more minor reforms to have the most traction.
Housing authority reform
Lt. Gov. Diane Denish is pushing measures to establish better financial oversight and audits for these authorities. One part of what she's supporting would eliminate the authorities' ability to issue bonds while another would strengthen conflict of interest prohibitions.
Prognosis: Good. Given last year's uproar over the state of some of the authorities around the state, and the current reported investigation by a grand jury, expect action on this topic, maybe early in the session.
Domestic partners
Advocates have come close in the past to passing a measure that would allow any couple, including same-sex couples, to enjoy all rights and responsibilities state law gives to married couples.
But many say this is the year.
Prognosis: Expect big turnout on both sides, but look for the measure to pass, in part because of a number of new lawmakers who support the idea.
Death penalty
Those against it have worked to repeal it for years, drawing some of the larger crowds to the Capitol during the sessions. But with a host of new legislators, this measure, also, could become law.
Prognosis: Close vote expected if the bill can survive committee hearings. Richardson, who would have to sign the bill, is on the record in favor of keeping the death penalty. But unlike two years ago, he's not running for president, so perhaps he could have a change of heart.
School funding
For the second straight year, school advocates are calling for a new school funding formula that could cost an additional $350 million. The measure was approved by the House last year, but died in a Senate committee.
Prognosis: Not good. In fact, advocates already have recognized that getting additional money this year is highly unlikely and have proposed a 1 percent increase in the gross receipts tax to collect the additional money. Voters will get the final say about that.
Teacher class loads
Richardson recently proposed removing the caps on class loads for teachers in middle and high schools to allow districts to save money.
Prognosis: Unlikely. School folks in Santa Fe, at least, don't like the idea. Cramming more kids into classrooms, they said, would make things harder on teachers, and students would also suffer. Funding cuts should be handled at the local level, superintendents say.
Highlands/College of Santa Fe
New Mexico Highlands University has already started a formal process to take over the financially ailing College of Santa Fe. The boards of both schools have agreed on an outline for the takeover, but the deal will need approval from legislators, who will decide whether they want to fund yet another public college.
Prognosis: Unknown. With Santa Fe legislators and the governor behind the proposal, it's got a chance, but with most agencies facing cuts, will they be able to justify spending in this case?
Oil and gas drilling
A bill limiting the authority of cities and counties to place regulations on oil and gas development in the future has strong support from the industry and a Jal legislator who believes the state's regulations are already strict enough and more rules will hurt the state's bottom line.
But competing bills would give more entities, not fewer, power over how oil and gas are produced. One would require disclosure of the ownership of mineral rights in cases of split ownership and give surface owners 30 days to negotiate purchasing the rights before they could be leased to a production company. The other would allow municipalities more authority to protect watersheds through bonding requirements.
Prognosis: Mixed. The bill restricting regulation by cities and counties is unlikely to pass.
Cultural affairs
Bills to create a veterans museum in Las Cruces, a music commission and a literary acquisitions fund to collect and build an archive of writings/documents/literary papers related to New Mexico and by New Mexican authors, for the new History Museum are expected.
Prognosis: Unknown.

Gov. Walker, please, no exchange, take backdoor to escape ObamaCare
In the wake of Tuesday's election results, the grim realization that we are not going to be able to escape ObamaCare started to sink in. But Vicki McKenna floated the idea last week that there was a backdoor way to prevent ObamaCare from taking root in Wisconsin--don't set up the state-run exchange.
Also last week, National Review posted an article by the CATO Institute informing us that Obamacare Is Still Vulnerable. The Obama "administration has asked state officials to decide by Friday, November 16, whether their state will create one of Obamacare's health-insurance 'exchanges.' States also have to decide whether to implement the law's massive expansion of Medicaid. The correct answer to both questions remains a resounding no." (My emphasis)
Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of time to think about this. So we need to act fast by contacting Governor Walker and our State Legislators, asking them to NOT set up these ObamaCare health-insurance exchanges. Calling has more impact than email and please be polite. I emailed last night, "I urge you to stand against creating a Wisconsin ObamaCare health insurance exchange. It is our only hope of sparing us from the oppression and expense of ObamaCare. Please stand with all of us who stood by you. Sincerely..."
Call Governor Walker (608) 266-1212, if you cannot get through, email: firstname.lastname@example.com and then call later. I called this morning and they said they were getting a lot of calls against creating exchanges.
Look up your legislators here: Assembly Senate
I also called my State Senator Leah Vukmir (608) 266-2512. Her aid said she is against setting up the exchanges, but call her anyway. Your calls supporting her stance are very important. Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Assembly Representatives: Paul Farrow (608) 266-5120 Email: email@example.com, Dale Kooyenga (608) 266-9180 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com Rob Hutton (Takes office in 2013, but you can share your opinion anyway.) (414) 380-9665 Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
In addition to your calls, 20 Wisconsin Tea Party groups sent an open letter to Governor Scott Walker, urging him to declare "NO!" in regard to creating a Wisconsin Obamacare exchange.
Why not create the exchange? Michael Cannon at CATO writes, "State-created exchanges mean higher taxes, fewer jobs, and less protection of religious freedom. States are better off defaulting to a federal exchange. The Medicaid expansion is likewise too costly and risky a proposition."
The article lists 12 reasons to reject creating ObamaCare exchanges taken from CATO:
1. states are under no obligation to create one.
2. operating an Obamacare exchange would be illegal in 14 states...who enacted either statutes or amendments forbidding state employees to participate in an essential exchange function...
3. each exchange would cost its state an estimated $10 million to $100 million per year, necessitating tax increases.
4. the November 16 deadline is no more real than the "deadlines" for implementing REAL ID, which have been pushed back repeatedly since 2008.
5. states can always create an exchange later if they choose.
6. a state-created exchange is not a state-controlled exchange. All exchanges will be controlled by Washington.
7. Congress authorized no funds for federal "fallback" exchanges. So Washington may not be able to impose Exchanges on states at all.
8. the Obama administration has yet to provide crucial information that states need before they can make an informed decision.
9. creating an exchange sets state officials up to take the blame when Obamacare increases insurance premiums and denies care to the sick...
10. creating an exchange would be assisting in the creation of a "public option" that would drive domestic health-insurance carriers out of business through unfair competition.
11. Obamacare remains unpopular. The latest Kaiser Family Foundation poll found that only 38 percent of the public supports it.
12. defaulting to a federal exchange exempts a state's employers from the employer mandate — a tax of $2,000 per worker per year...
"Finally, rejecting an exchange reduces the federal deficit. Obamacare offers its deficit-financed subsidies to private health insurers only through state-created exchanges. If all states declined, federal deficits would fall by roughly $700 billion over ten years."
Exit polls revealed the majority of voters, even including those who voted for President Obama, are against ObamaCare, "Forty-nine percent of voters said they think the 2010 law should be either fully [26%] or partially repealed [23%], compared with 44 percent...[who support] "Those numbers come amid a growing belief that government is overstepping its role: the exit polls found that 53 percent of those surveyed said the government is doing too many things better left to businesses and individuals - a figure that's risen 10 points since the 2008 election."

These unique Swedish Tergo Microfiber Cleaning Cloths are a truly remarkable product causing a major revolution in how people approach cleaning and removing pests from their pets. The secret to these Tergo Microfiber Cleaning Cloths is in the Ultra Microfibers. These microfibers enable the cloths to efficiently trap dirt, fleas and ticks! Not only are the Microfiber Cloths environmentally safe and easy to use, they also clean better and faster than traditional cleaning cloths or any known fabric, eliminating the need for toxic chemicals. You will be amazed!
It is common knowledge that Sweden is very environmentally conscious, having banned the use of many chemicals. The Flea and Tick Removal Cloths AKA Tergo Ultra Microfiber Cloths feature a fabric with a very thin weave called Ultra Microfiber. Consisting of a nylon blend of polyester and polyamide, the microfiber cloths have optimal cleaning capacity. The Ultra Microfiber is so small that one square centimeter contains over 30km of microfiber. It's these thousands of individual micro strands in the fabric that perform the cleaning, trapping and removing of pests and dirt particles from your pets and home.
During cleaning, the wiping motion enables the fiber edges to break down dirt particles and trap insect pests removing them without damaging the surface. Particles are trapped and absorbed in the fine strands of microfiber. The capillary force activates, thereby locking the dirt into the weave of the cloth. There are over a million fine tubes that absorb the dirt when the cloth is wet - a force so great that dirt cannot escape. This cloth has incredible absorbency, holding up to 4 times its weight in dirt, grime and liquid.
The dirt remains locked deep inside the cloth, enabling you to continuously clean, without releasing dirt back on to the cleaning surface. The dirt is retained in the material until it is washed, reducing the need for frequent rinsing. The cleaning surface will become so clean that new dirt and dust will not be attracted as easily.
Tergo Cloth Colors
Choose between blue, green and pink.
