"The person who experiences greatness must have a feeling for the myth he is in."
- I'm with the OP that I don't like the direction that Blizzard had taken the game. I don't play and have no intention of going back any time soon.
- I don't think the game is outdated at all, they made changes to candy the game down to the point it's only for kids between the ages of 6-17.
- Are other mmos that bad ?......Yes absolutly......Most everything after Vanguard is quest lines and carrot on a stick. Most are at the point that there open worlds HAVE to be soloed. " Sorry, I can't play with you your not on the same part of the quest as me ".
Best example of this would be Rift. Now Rift is a well made game, Graphics, coding, beautiful world each with it's own theme. Build your own class is revolutionary and loved by many. BUT IT HAS TO BE PLAYED GOING FROM QUEST HUB TO QUEST HUB, they almost have to be done in order. To play with others you have to match quest for quest until you reach end game.
Rift is only one example of many quest line mmos that have to be played solo. Developers seem as if telling a story is a better price than community.........Community is what keeps players logging in day after day for years.
- GW2....I still like this game. However its only half way there. You play with the community, but you really don't have to know them, and not so much carrot on a stick.

You can see the disconnect people get when discussing WoW just by reading what they type. Like the guy who said 'the old zones have never been updated'. Yet most of the old-world was updated with Cataclysm. Why doesn't he know this? Or the people who say 'Well they have all that time invested'. Sure, time investment is a great thing, but it hasn't prevented most of us from trying other games. One thing people forget is that more people have tried WoW and quit than people who played it at it's highest sub total (according to a Blizz employee). People talk about GW1 selling 6 million boxes and that being half of WoW...it's not even close. That's more like 24 million boxes (again, presuming the Blizz employee was speaking truth). It's not that we leave other games because they're 'not like WoW'. How can people even say that...then say that every game is a WoW knock-off in the next line? The core play aesthetics are different. Blizz wanted to reach the players that no one else wanted. Once they had their attention, they offered the most diverse set of options of any game out there, cannibalized the best features from the best new games (often making the features even better), and then topping it with (on average) excellent Customer Service. People don't play WoW for 'the best graphics', 'the best pvp', 'the best grouping', etc. We play WoW because on any given single day, we can do 100 million different things, with different people or alone. Top that with a lore that is very deep (even if some parts are contradictory or redacted occasionally) layered atop gameplay that ranges from intense high-caliber difficulty (like it or not, heroic raids are -hard-) to complete mindless relaxation (fishing, for instance) and -everything- inbetween. The big value of WoW is -choice-, and -no one- offers as much. Not even close to as much. WoW doesn't do any -single- thing better than -everyone- else, they just do -more-, better, than -anyone- else. It's really not hard to understand...but it's very hard to match.
I think this ties into WoW being a "virtual world." hmmm. When details from that world were removed (in cata mostly) like feeding pets, collecting souls, etc. The game lost something.
I think it's fair to say WoW is more of a virtual world than the other games. This might be the big reason.
Neither option.
Popularity is not indicative of quality.
Blizzard certainly knows how to cater to their target market, and all the other developers have failed to drag that market away from them.
They've also failed to cater to the non themepark crowd either, the perception being it is too "niche" to bother with, but I suspect it might be a bit larger than they realize. (but of course, hard to prove this either)
I'll give Blizzard props for being good at what they know, even if I don't care for the game designs they've chosen to employ.

I didn't vote.
At minimum there should be a third option.
That option: NO Blizz is nt that good, but they are consistant.
WoW was good. It deserved most of it's acclaim. Mainly back in 05-07. Once it hit "critical mass" the rest was just inertia.
Now, it isn't that the game is good, or improving (which is subjective, they are adding new content and features, but I'd argue if they improve the game), it's that the players that are there have so much time and energy invested into the product. All their friends are there. For millions, it was their first MMO (and your first breakup is hard to do). It's a familiar product so it's easy to go back to after you have taken a break for a while.
So it's not that Blizzard is a good or bad dev. They made a good product (at one point in time, at least), they are keeping it relevant by releasing expansions. And they have enough players that they have achieved a form of gravity where everyone just keeps falling back to Azeroth.
WoW will stay big for a long time. Even if they dwindle down to 1M players, everyone will bemoan how far it has fallen, but 1M players is still a very large game (in terms of MMO's, where prior to WoW 100k was a huge number). And it won't hit those numbers for years - even if Blizzard decided to stop any more content/patches/expansions, a large number of players would remain for years.
The only thing that can kill WoW is WoW. It makes me scratch my head when everyone comes around touting the next "WoW-Killer" - when it isn't a competition for subs. People can have more than one sub (although I can perfectly understand why many choose not to). People can play more than one game (sometimes at the same time). Computers have room for more than one game to be installed at a time.

Most people wont quit WoW because they have spent soo much time on it. ditching their 85's would feel like they are betraying themselves. Take GW2, TSW or hell even SWTOR and give it the same amount of time that Blizzard has had with WoW you will have games in the exact same position. lets face it, WoW is the king of the last generation. nothing can tople it because its been around too long. The only thing that will take out WoW is WoW. thats not because its amazing, its because its been around so long that its had enough time to gain momentum and turn itself up to 11.
I agree with this. I know how people gain attachment to their toons, because I had similar attachment years ago.
To break this, when you're tired of a game or the way a developer has screwed up a game, delete your toons so you're never compelled to go back.
1.) Nostoligia
2.) "Well my friend (who has Nostoligia) plays this game so I should try it too!"
3.) "Well it has a large population, so naturally it means its that amazing."
4.) Very little competition on release, making it very easy to take in numbers.
5.) Polished off just enough to gain more attention before MMOs went crazy.
Blizzard isn't a bad company at all (though lately they have been going down hill) but a lot of WoW's success is just about when it came out more then what it was. As I say many times before, if wow came out today with all its polish and glitter, it would probably be at the point rift is (which isn't bad but is no where near the strength of wow). If it came out as its vanilla version, it would be a bigger flop then SWTOR by a landslide.

I agree. Currently, Blizzard is resting on it's laurals and really haven't done ANYTHING strikingly innovative since Starcraft 2, WoW, Diablo 2. Diablo 3 was nothing more than Diablo 2 simplified with better graphics.
Now I am not saying that Blizzard is not smart. GW1 was also initially developed at Blizzard North. Both WoW and GW1 were presented to the leadership and WoW won. GW1 was spun off - that was smart.
As I stated before - Blizzard is resting on it's laurels - MoP is just another WoW expansion nothing new and exciting.

Because WoW is the entry mmorpg? Then people think they get bored with it when in fact they get bored with the genre. Only these genre-burnt people try new mmorpgs but are already bored with the new games before they even play the games. Some WoW players try the new games too but go "I miss my guildies in WoW feels so lonely in here" - both parties quit the new game. WoW wins. Kids keep entering the genre through WoW marketing machine and the cycle keeps spinning.
We are finally seeing some baby steps in the genre to change some things a bit so there will be actual new games, and hopefully it will shake the genre a bit, put pressure more on Blizz too to become that quality company it used to be before they got cocky and started to take their customers from behind with no warning or respect for them.

Literally? Pics or it didn't happen.
Better to be crazy, provided you know what sane is...
I'm guessing the chips would fall on the "Blizz is just that good" side of the board, but it probably isn't just one thing as much as:
1) good cash flow to hire very talented peeps,
2) long (ie good) history of success regarding project management, timing and organization,
3) high (ie good) standards of polish before games are presented to the public.
I may not like Pandas or ever play WoW again, but I'll give them props for rolling out a polished and consistent product.
First i would say blizz is talented, it retain some of the old school elements of the mmo when making WoW, like huge seamless zone, day night cycle, open world elite mobs etc and yet at the same time scale down the difficulty and able to cater to more players.
Problem is post WoW mmo, while trying to clone , yet they fail in so many areas, example LOTR, so many zonning! you even have to zone in to enter a city, whereas in WoW you can jusy run in, eq2, zone to travel to freeport, War, swtor, linen questing etc etc..
So yes, other developers is that bad! in trying to mimic WoW, yet offer such a small portion of what WoW have to offer.
And i do not agree that players dont want to leave WoW due to the time invested , examplle looking at the numbers of boxes sold for War ( ~1mil), AOC ( ~1mil ) and Swtor ( 2.4mil ). There's tons of players wana leave WoW, but problem is these new mmo offer nothing new and players quickly leave after launch.
And when your guidies who have left WoW for , say War, come back cursing and swearing, and the same thing happens over and over again, till even now swtor, this makes more players stick to WoW and wait for others to try out the new mmo before they decide to go over.
Understand this that WoW is still losing subs, and i dont know is this part of the reason they are bringing back world mobs, planting vege etc..
If this formula prove successful and brings back the crowd, players who love vanilla WoW, than we will see the reign of WoW for a little longer whether you like it or not....

hey guys he just said swtor was good LOL.
rift is good, swtor LOL.
Blizzards success isn't the game it was their timing! That is why they had so many players and of course WarCraft was pretty popular in the gaming industry. If it would have been any other game or company at that same time making said MMO for more casual gamers it would have been what WOW is today.
The funny thing is that even though WOW was casual at the time of launch, today 90% of gamers wouldn't even be able to play Vanilla WOW because it would be to hard. Funny how things go in MMOs.

Subs speaks for itself.
For me Rift is good but not better than WoW in terms of combat animations, the graphic style they choose, yes Trion is a hard working company, and i wish them well.
Swtor????? guess you are those few that like the 4th pillar and satisfied by it alone...

USPSTF Transparency and Accountability Act of 2012
The AUA co-authored a bipartisan bill, the USPSTF Transparency and Accountability Act, (H.R. 5998) which was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on Thursday, June 21, by Representatives Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) and John Barrow (D-GA).
Coding Corner:
Will Modifier PD affect your Practice?
In response to the U.S. Supreme Court ruling to uphold the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), representatives of the American Association of Clinical Urologists (AACU), the AUA and the Large Urology Group Practice Association (LUGPA), leading advocates for the specialty of urology, issued the following joint statement expressing their concern over the Supreme Court's decision: "While we strongly advocate the provision of care for the millions of uninsured Americans who will benefit from the legislation, we are concerned that there are key aspects to this law that will, ultimately, hurt this nation's ability to provide widespread care for its citizens.
AUA Guideline: Management of the Clinical T1 Renal Mass
By J. Stuart Wolf, Jr., MD and Steven C. Campbell, MD, PhD
Why is ablation not advocated for a healthy patient with a T1a renal mass?
For index patient 1 (healthy, clinical T1a) surgical excision is a standard, preferably with partial nephrectomy (PN), while thermal ablation (TA) is only an option. For healthy patients there are a number of concerns about TA, most importantly an increased incidence of local recurrence, observed despite TA being used to treat smaller tumors and having shorter follow-up. Radiographic parameters for success are questioned, with some studies showing biopsy proven tumor recurrence despite loss of contrast enhancement. Additionally, surgical salvage is difficult due to fibrosis associated with the prior ablation.
Starting January 1, 2013, Aetna will require that practices offering in-office surgical pathology testing be certified with Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), as well as one of the following accrediting entities:
If the additional accreditation is not obtained, practices will not be reimbursed for surgical pathology services billed in the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code range 88300-88314 and 88342. If these credentials are not obtained by January 1, 2013, laboratory services must be provided by Aetna in-network labs that include preferred laboratories Quest Diagnostics and AmeriPath.

#theLIST: Get Gorgeous by Tonight
The brush: A small to medium boar bristle round brush so that you get a little bit of lift at the root but smooth strands the rest of the way down. How do you know what size is perfect for your hair? "You want to be able to wrap your hair around it one and a half to two times," says Saviano. "If you can only get the length of hair around it once, then it's too large and will only flatten your hair out."
Try Philip Kingsley Radial Brush, $38, philipkingsley.com.
The hot tool: More powerful isn't necessarily better: "If your hair is on the normal side then 1200 to 1500 watts is more than enough to smooth strands," says Saviano. "If your hair is coarse or thick then you can go up to 1800 watts." Already have the super powerful dryer but not super thick texture? "Just don't put it on the highest setting, instead keep it at medium strength when styling," he says. And always keep the nozzle attached—it directs heat and the airflow where you need it, so you can shape strands easily.
Try T3 Featherweight 2 Hair Dryer, $200, shopt3micro.com.

Chronicles of Never's head designer Gareth Moody is collaborating with Lee Jeans for GLM for Lee, to infuse his "dark aesthetic" into this entirely built from scratch collection. Moody worked closely with Lee Jeans in all aspects of the full collection, from tees to jeans to outerwear. GLM for Lee hits shelves in April, in conjunction with Lee Jeans' new Queensland store opening. If you didn't think Lee Jeans were cool before, well, they just upped their cool quotient big time. This is one of the most exciting collaborations to have surfaced recently in the denim industry, and we're eager to see how this will turn the brand around for a new generation of Lee Jeans devotees. Watch the campaign video for a teaser of what's to come.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Laurie Markham, a volunteer at the Green River Community Center was named volunteer of the month from the center. Joni Pace awarded Markham a certificate and gifts at the recent city council meeting. Pace informed the council that since the inception of the center, they have not had a repeat volunteer award winner due to the large number of volunteers in Green River. She commended the city and its residents for the volunteer spirit and commitment to the center.
Mayor Glen Dale Johnson explained that the city's water and sewer master plan was written in 1998, seven years ago. It is recommended to update the plans every five years to ensure all aspects of change are addressed.
Mayor Johnson then introduced John Chartier, of Sunrise Engineering. Chartier has been asked to give an estimate of the cost of a new master plan and explain the issues to be addressed by a master plan.
"It's been seven years since we last did a water and sewer master plan for Green River, and when rising costs and new developments are considered, an upgrade at this time would be appropriate," said Chartier. "We will take a look at the old plan and consider new technology, update mapping, and do a computer analysis."
"Any upgrades that we recommend will be accompanied with cost estimates of those upgrades. We will also consider the fees charged by the city and proposed growth, and make recommendations for new fee structures. This new master plan will be the city's guideline for the next five years," added Chartier.
Mayor Johnson said that with the expected expansions and additions to the town, a new strategy is needed now. He also explained to Chartier some of the problems that Green River is experiencing at the present time. Chartier assured the council that these needs will also be considered. The council approved spending the funds for a new master plan study.
The Emery County IT department, was at the meeting to request Green River City sign an interlocal agreement with Emery County concerning the addressing system. The county IT department has been working to make addressing in every city in the county more uniform. This is being done as a safety issue foremost, and to keep in line with new GPS technologies.
A power point presentation outlining the process of creating the uniform addressing system and how it would affect the City of Green River and its residents was presented. Following a discussion concerning the safety issues surrounding the problems of incorrect and duplicate addresses, the council approved for the IT department to continue work on this project, and the city will follow up with a public hearing.
In another matter, Mayor Johnson read two letters requesting a memorial for Patrick Bailey, who was killed recently in an accident. Bailey was instrumental in the building of the Green River Shooting Sports Park. One letter requested that the park be renamed for Bailey. The other letter requested naming the building which will house the education center at the park for Bailey.
"We are deeply saddened by the loss of Pat Bailey. Green River has lost a great friend," said Mayor Johnson. The council decided to name the building which will be the education center, the Patrick F. Bailey Education Center, in his honor.
The council revisited the nuisance ordinance. Two former council members were on hand to give their views of the ordinance which has been adopted. Both views agreed that the ordinance, as it exists, does not address the needs of Green River and lacks the "teeth" to appropriately punish violators.
Following discussion of the ordinance and the process by which the city has arrived at the current statute, Councilman Blaine Evans suggested tabling any action on this issue until further review can be done. He also suggested that the city focus on the three most important facets of the ordinance, which are inoperable cars, weeds, and abandoned, unsafe buildings. The council agreed.
Other business conducted by the council was to give approval of installing a drain pipe from Long Street between Mecham's and Cassingham's houses. This project will be done in accordance to the engineer's recommendations.
The council gave approval for Mayor Johnson to investigate the cost of having crack sealing work done at the medical center. Some of the cracks are beginning to be quite large. Mayor Johnson stated that a company is coming to Green River for another project and the medical center project should be completed as soon as possible.
Brother-in-law water connections was also discussed. These are connections that have more than one single family dwelling hooked to one water meter. City Recorder Conae Black stated that there are six such hookups in Green River. Most are rental units and at the present time the landowners are being charged a second or third minimum if the units are occupied.
In the past, landlords have not been promptly informing the city if the units have been rented. The council approved to notify these landowners of the problem and give them two choices. One of which would be to install a meter for each unit that is currently running from one meter. The second choice would be to pay the city's minimum water charge for each unit using the same meter.
Three bid projects were opened. The first was the sale of a flag pole for which Kathy Ryan entered the winning bid. Green River City's website operation was second for opening. Robert Smith's bid was accepted for that project. In the final bid opening, A & E Electric, of Moab, won the bid to complete the electrical upgrade at the John Wesley Powell River History Museum.
Councilman Tom Burr reported that the Utah Museum of Natural History is building several traveling exhibits concerning Range Creek and the artifacts being discovered in that area. These exhibits will be visiting local museums, including JWP Museum, the Museum of the San Rafael and the College of Eastern Utah museum.
On March 16, the JWP Museum will host a grand opening celebration to receive the exhibit for its year long stay in Green River. Local school students are being welcomed, along with all the residents of Green River, to come out and see the Range Creek exhibit. Waldo Wilcox will be present on that day to visit with people and answer all questions.
The next meeting of the Green River City Council will be March 8 at 6 p.m. in the Green River City Hall.

Between 10 and 12 inches of rain fell around the region during the month of June. As a result, some farmers say the amount of produce being harvested is down and they're behind on planting schedules. Mike Wissman grows strawberries and corn at Warner Farm in Sunderland, Massachusetts. He says strawberry season was cut short by a week due to the rain and so far the corn is behind schedule: He says this has a negative economic impact on both the grower and the consumer.
"Prices will be elevated because there will be a shorter supply. Everyone's not going to have the yield that they had anticipated if we had more ideal growing conditions. Even though you get even maybe a 10 or 20 percent increase in wholesale prices, if it's a wholesale item, it doesn't make up for the hit you've taken in terms of the yield."

"I wanted a low heeled ankle strap pump since I have been seeing them everywhere in the pointed toe style. I have wide feet (size 9) and narrow or pointed toe shoes always give me problems so I have to go a size up when I do buy them. I got a 9 1/2 in these and they fit like a dream. They are a bit more rounded but still have a slight (very slight!) point. I'm glad I went a size up though because the 9's would have been a bit tight since the shoe is still a bit narrow."

Rangers asst. GM Thad Levine denies three-year limit on potential Josh Hamilton deal
Rangers assistant general manager Thad Levine denied an Internet report that the team has placed a three-year limit on a potential contract offer for Josh Hamilton, according to ESPN's Jim Bowden.
Last week, a USA Today report surfaced saying the Rangers would not offer Hamilton more than three years on a contract in free agency. But a source told SportsDay's Evan Grant that was untrue, and Levine confirmed that no such parameters exist during an interview on Bowden's Sirius XFM radio show this week.
According to Bowden, Levine "denied [the Rangers] have a limit of 3 yrs for any offer for Josh Hamilton and said only the Rangers & [Hamilton's agent] Mike Moye" know how negotiations are progressing.
Rangers GM Jon Daniels said last week that the team has been in regular contact with Moye and that he planned to speak with him again this week.
"I think our position is the same as it was all along," Daniels told our Evan Grant. "Whatever the process of gathering information and testing the market that they are going through, they are going through. Outside of that, I'm kind of in the dark."
One executive told Grant at last week's GM meetings that Hamilton has indicated a desire to return to the Rangers, and Hamilton has publicly said he would give the Rangers the opportunity to match any offer he receives from another team.
And now it sounds like an offer of more than three years won't be an automatic pass for Texas.

From planking to scoring - SWP is making his mark
Manchester City ventured into Vancouver for the second match of their US tour, a match that only went ahead following the herculean efforts of Vancouver Whitecaps staff and fans who spent hours clearing the Empire Field pitch of water following a deluge over the weekend. Paul Barber, Whitecaps CEO, explained in an interview on Team 1040 radio in Vancouver that the club had probably sold the city out of screen wipers that were used to help clear the pitch.
The company that the club hired to lay a natural grass pitch on top of an artificial surface, standard practice in the US for such exhibition games, described it as," probably their best ever installation," according to Barber. The heavens opened moments after that conversation took place in Vancouver.
Hats off then to the Whitecaps for making the game a reality for the 24,074 sell-out crowd, and it must have been 'hearts in mouths' time when Yaya Toure was taken off injured on a worsening pitch, with reports since making it very clear that it was caused by catching another player's foot. City players were put to the test with a cruel goal from the Whitecaps that took a wicked deflection off Stefan Savic after half an hour, before John Guidetti equalised for City in the 68th minute.
Earlier in the day Ryan Ruocco on ESPN New York radio had been discussing the huge boost that soccer in North America had received from the Women's World Cup, with the USA disappointingly falling to Japan on penalties in front of 13.5 million viewers. Penalties he said were like," a home run derby," and no way to finish a competitive soccer match. As word spread that the Whitecaps game against City would be decided on penalties in the event of a draw, up stepped a much-loved City favourite who is determined to make his mark on this US tour – Shaun Wright-Phillips. Five minutes from time Wright-Phillips produced a rasping thunderbolt into the top left hand corner that was reminiscent of many of his long-range efforts of old.
SWP caught the online headlines early in the tour for what was undoubtedly the best planking effort displayed by a member of the City squad posting their efforts online. A goal to finish off Club America was followed in Vancouver by the decider to ensure City notched up a confidence-boosting comeback from a goal down. It has so far been tough to pick out the stand out performers on this tour, but if Shaun Wright-Phillips can adapt his play to the kind of passing game he is beginning to show then it will be a sign of a top player maturing in his trade. As Micah Richards quotes in his daily blog today, "A class goal from a class guy," and to view SWP's humble post-match comments we would have to agree.
The City team have arrived in Los Angeles in preparation for their next match against LA Galaxy on Sunday, with the Galaxy first concentrating on their match tonight with Columbus Crew. A clean sweep of wins on this US tour would be a fantastic start to pre-season.

Did You Know? Countdown to Memorial Day (05/30)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore
About Memorial Day
May 30 : 1 day to Memorial Day
Did you know that the first state to officially recognize the observance of Memorial Day was New York, in 1873?
Over the next decade, May 30th was adopted by other northern states as their official Memorial Day as well. The southern states, however, honored their Civil War casualties on a different date. The nation did not finally unite behind one Memorial Day until after World War I.
Memorial Day is America's day to remember those who have died serving our nation, and to honor their families. We'll be presenting a new "Did You Know?" fact each day as we countdown to Memorial Day (05/31)! So stop by again tomorrow.

By RICHARD SHAWEmery County Progress publisher
While a minority in our society should have rights, definite, specific and protected rights, when the majority is used as the whipping boy for these rights, there is something definitely wrong.
While I came to this conclusion many years ago, a recent story I heard from a friend of mine who works in a metropolitan school district along the Wasatch Front related a story to me about a situation in a school she works at. I have included no names in this story to protect the innocent, the guilty and the stupid as well.
On the opening day of school a kindergartener was brought in to register for classes at her school. The little boy was assigned to one of the best kindergarten teachers in the district, an instructor who is asked for repeatedly by parents who have had kids in her class before. However the young boy was also presented to the principal by his father and was told "I had better not hear of you people mistreating my boy or things will happen."
Right from the outset the young student had behavior problems. He would be doing a task with other kids and then jump up on the table they were working at and start bouncing up and down and beating his chest with his fists. Every time the class got started on any kind of project he would get up and run around the room making noise. At recess all the other kids would be playing on the swings and he would be throwing gravel at them. When recess was over, he wouldn't come in the building, and would stand outside yelling.
By the end of the first week the teacher had used every kind of technique possible (in this day of fear of litigation and job loss) to get this kid to behave. But he just seemed to get worse. The special services team at the school was called in to help. The principal assigned an aide to work just with this child, all day long. She soon became fed up with him. When a psychologist tried to do an assessment on the lad to see what could be done to improve his behavior, he resisted all efforts to cooperate and again played Tarzan on the table. At one point the in the second week of school, six adults within the building worked with him or watched him all day long.
At least one time when he had to be coerced back into the building after recess he ran down the hall screaming at the top of his lungs disturbing all the classes and was confronted by a very tall and commanding fourth grade male teacher, who hovered over him. The teacher was consequently kicked in the shin. The kid obviously is not intimidated by anyone or anything.
The parents were contacted during that time and they said he didn't do any of that stuff at home. But when the father was observed with the boy during a conference with school personnel he was very physical with the child, or in other words he was thumping the kids gourd constantly in one way or another. Obviously that is something the school personnel cannot do.
A special education assessment person was brought in to make suggestions on how to proceed. Her advice didn't work at all, and to make matters worse because of a program the district follows, the people handling the situation at the school were told never to touch him, no matter what he did. That meant when he stayed on the playground and wouldn't come in after recess, they couldn't physically bring him in; but an adult would have to stay out with him to make sure he didn't run away or disappear. They were told if he disrupted a classroom, the class should be removed from the room, not him. And there were all kinds of other suggestions that sounded just as ridiculous involving other matters.
In this case here is a great teacher, a school special services staff and some other district personnel tied up taking care of one little boy while the education of all the others in his classroom are suffering, because of his bad behavior. According to my friend, it will take at least six to eight weeks of this for the kid to finally be assessed to the point that he will be put in a behavior disorders program.
Imagine if the parents had placed this kid in a private school at the beginning of the year. How long would they put up with this? He probably would have been out of the school the first day and sent either to another unsuspecting private school or more than likely to a public school, where they can't so readily get rid of problems that disrupt their students learning.
This type of situation has come about because the laws and regulations guaranteeing every child an equal education have gone way too far. In this case the school district is denying the other students in his room (and for that matter in the school considering how many adults are committed to dealing with the situation) a fair education during the time it takes to figure out what to do because of his behavior and the attention that must be paid to him.
This is just a case of rules, regulations and the fear of lawyers driving our public educational process. It's no wonder we can't get anyone to go into teaching when they find out they have to deal with these kinds of situations, with literally no way out.
The next time our legislature and congress meet about what to do about faltering public education and the lack of young people going into teaching, maybe they should look at more than just money.
They should look at the bureaucracy and the impossible situations they and the courts have created for those who only want to mold young lives.


text: A meme is "an idea, behavior or style that spreads from person to person within a culture." A meme acts as a unit for carrying cultural ideas, symbols or practices in this case being the "What People Think I Do" meme. I found it particularly interesting when I started seeing the art department taking part as I do believe people really don't know what we do. Even major producers don't know what we do. So I compiled 5 of the memes I felt most related to the art department below:

Scientific American Frontiers travels to the rugged country of eastern Utah to explore the unique archaeological remains of Range Creek Canyon. Television's first detailed look at the canyon since its existence first became public in June 2004, "The Secret Canyon" airs on KUED-Channel 7 Thurs., March 31 at 8:30 p.m. Alan Alda hosts and narrates.
As it flows to the Green River, Range Creek runs through a narrow 12-mile-long canyon, the sides of which are formed by spectacular cliffs soaring as much as 1,000 feet to the Tavaputs Plateau above. Getting into the canyon is not easy. Today, cattle trails and a few steep, winding dirt roads exist, but until the 1940s, there was no road access at all.
Soon after the first logging road went in, rancher Budge Wilcox moved down from the Tavaputs Plateau with his two sons, Don and Waldo. After 50 years in the canyon, Waldo sold the property to the U.S. government and the State of Utah.
With the canyon in public ownership, archaeologists have embarked on a systematic survey of the area. Already the results have been extraordinary, with the promise of much more to come. "I've been working in archaeology for about 25 years," says Duncan Metcalfe of the University of Utah, "and I've seen perhaps half a dozen sites that I knew were absolutely undisturbed, half a dozen. Here, so far, we've seen over 200." Metcalfe estimates they have surveyed only about 5 percent of the canyon; at that rate, they'll have an unprecedented 6,000 significant sites on their hands.
The state of preservation of the sites is unmatched. Says Metcalfe, "There aren't holes in the pit houses, we don't find beer cans on them, there's no bullet holes on the rock art panels, they haven't been chalked, there's no historic graffiti on them. They're absolutely pristine."
It was largely thanks to the Wilcox family that the public and scientists now have this archaeological treasure to enjoy and explore. Not only did the family keep strangers off the property, but they also maintained a respectful attitude to the historic sites that they knew were all around them, especially
the many burials. "My dad told me when we came here," Waldo explains, "that we own the land, but we don't own the dead people that's there. Leave them where you find them."
Archaeologists call the people who lived in Range Creek Canyon the Fremont. They ranged throughout what's now Utah, combining hunting and gathering with agriculture. For about a 1,000 years, they were especially dependent on corn cultivation. During this time, they established villages of their characteristic "pit houses," created abundant rock art and built substantial stone and adobe granaries to store crops.
Then, around 1300 AD, something happened to bring it all to an abrupt halt. At the same time, their better-known neighbors to the south, the pueblo-building Anasazi, suffered a similar disruption, as did other communities across the continent. Archaeologists are still not sure if the root cause was due to climatic or social changes, disease or some combination. The promise of Range Creek canyon is that, with its 1,000s of undisturbed sites, we can come to understand those momentous events.
Of all the ancient peoples of America, the Fremont are among the most enigmatic. We understand very little of their prolific rock art (50 sites so far in the canyon); we don't know why they built their granaries (38 so far) in inaccessible places, sometimes halfway up sheer cliff faces; and we can't understand why villages (four so far) and houses (16 so far) would often, but not always, be perched on rock pinnacles. "Not a good place to have grandma scrambling around and risking her life," observes Utah State Archaeologist Kevin Jones.
To film the program, Scientific American Frontiers crews accompanied archaeologists as they hiked up 1,000-foot rock formations and took Waldo Wilcox on a special helicopter ride to point out his favorite, and otherwise inaccessible, granaries and rock paintings. "The Secret Canyon" " airs on KUED-Channel 7 Thurs., March 31 at 8:30 p.m., offering an exclusive first look at Range Creek Canyon's priceless treasures.

Yesterday, as we were placing a polka dot headband on our nicely combed hair, it struck us: We've totally been dressing like Rachel Berry! The character Lea Michele plays on Glee has been accused alternately of dressing like a kindergartener and like an old woman — but we think her look is super cute. Big bows, animal sweaters, knee-high socks! This holiday season, we're style crushing on Rachel hard.

Mixed Messages: How Climate Change is Taught in America's Public Schools, a detailed report of the first nationwide survey of climate change education in the United States, conceived and funded by NCSE and conducted in collaboration with researchers at Pennsylvania State University, is now available (PDF) on-line.
Louisiana's Senate Bill 156 (PDF) would, if enacted, repeal the state's Balanced Treatment for Creation-Science and Evolution-Science Act, which was enacted in 1981 and declared to be unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court in Edwards v. Aguillard in 1987.
Both houses of West Virginia's legislature have agreed on a version of House Bill 4014 that would require only the review, not the repeal, of the recently adopted state science standards, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail (March 12, 2016).
House Bill 899 and Senate Bill 1018 both died in committee on March 11, 2016, when the Florida legislature adjourned. Ostensibly aimed at empowering taxpayers to object to the use of specific instructional materials in the public schools, the bills were promoted by groups with a record of objecting to the treatment of evolution and climate change in textbooks, as NCSE previously reported.

Cute To Look At Though
"These shoes are really cute but I did have to return them. I ordered a half size larger but it didn't buy me any extra length, so I'd say they run a bit short. The double straps are cute and I expected more stability but even on the last holes, they were still loose around my ankles. The heels on these would've been a balancing act due to being wobbly, but I've experienced this issue with other platforms that have stilettos. Just a lot going on with these. I wanted to keep these but there were too many issues that added up to a big fat nope. Um, but they are cute tho!"

"I ordered these for a bachlorette party in AC. The heel is high but the large platform makes them easy to walk and wear. The T-Stap part fit well and I was able to adjust the ankle straps small enough. Unfortunately my toes barely showed out of the peep toe. I likely could have gone down a 1/2 size but since I ordered them last minute I just returned them."

My meditation practice has fallen dormant in the last couple of years, but, as the semester begins slowly winding to a close, I feel that rejuvenating it would be wise. Students are panicking, and all kinds of unpleasant behaviours result. What's more, I'm tired and busy, and so I'm not always nice.
A couple of years ago, the end of semester was particularly hard, and meditation helped.
What do you do when it all seems a bit too much?
It's been a rough week.
I got a couple of shrieking emails from Lia on Tuesday. I wrote to another student, Janet, on Saturday, to let her know that I wouldn't be grading her essay rewrite, because I'd found it on my office floor days after the deadline, with no indication of when it had been submitted. Janet's response was neither contrite nor understanding, and, like Lia's, repeated the word "unfair" several times.
I then received an email from Yannick, whose story I began telling a few weeks ago. He wanted to meet with me. Yannick, as I detailed in the earlier post, disappeared from my course about a month into the semester and then reappeared three weeks before the end, asking if there was any way he could pass, because if he didn't, he'd be suspended for a year. Since then, he's been showing up for class and doing reasonably good work trying to catch up, but not the exceptional work that would be necessary to compensate for his absences. I responded as follows.
Yannick, please let me know what the nature of your questions is. If you'd like to discuss the grade for your blog, for example, I'd like to point out that the grade you received is in fact quite generous, and I won't be altering it. You're welcome to take this up with the Grades Review committee if you really feel there's a problem.
Unless you have something new to discuss, I feel we've talked about your situation quite enough.
I spent Saturday in knots. I was hyperventilating, I couldn't concentrate on anything, and finally I gave up trying to mark papers and went to a yoga class. This helped, but Saturday night I couldn't sleep. I lay awake having angry conversations in my head in which I justified my actions to Janet and Yannick. I was so agitated that at one point I got out of bed, booted up the computer, and began researching education PhD programs at the local universities. Maybe, I thought, I needed to spend some time thinking about the classroom instead of being in it.
But on Sunday morning, I shook myself awake and dragged myself to the morning session of Nyinthun, the monthly day-long meditation intensive, at the Montreal Shambhala Centre. As I settled onto my cushion, I set an intention for my meditation practice: I was going to try to release all this anger. I was going to try to find a place of equanimity.
The first two hours were spent alternately in sitting and walking meditation. I tried to focus on my constricted, struggling breathing; I often find that hyperventilation helps me stay present in meditation, as it's very difficult to take my mind off the breath! It was doing me some good, but I still felt gripped by fear every time my mind wandered to the moment when I'd go home and would have to decide whether to check my email or avoid it for a few more hours.
Near the end of the morning session, one of the instructors, Francesca, stood and said that she would be leading us in an exercise. The theme of today's Nyinthun, she explained, was a reflection on the holiday season. We were going to do a practice to help us contemplate this theme.
"At this time of year," she said, "things become intensified. Things begin moving faster. There is more darkness. There are a lot of things to do. All this leads to an intensification of our experience and our emotions.
"In addition, when it comes to the holidays, we all have a desire. We could have many desires, but often one desire is dominant. It could be a desire for a material thing. It could be a desire for something we want to happen, or not happen. I'd like you to think about what your desire is for this holiday time."
It didn't take me long. My desire, I thought, is for my semester to be over. Really over. I want the grades to be in; I want the emails from students to stop; I want to put everything about the term behind me except a few good memories, and to move into a brief space of a few weeks when I'm not a teacher. I want to meditate, cook good food, read novels, clean my house, and not think about teaching at all. I want to be released.
Francesca picked a smooth, large stone up from the altar and held it up. "I want you to think of this stone," she said, "as the object of your desire. Look at this stone and, in it, see your desire." Then she asked us to clear the mediation cushions away from a small space in the middle of the room. She placed a little table in the centre of the space, and set the stone on top of it. Then she used cushions to create a tight perimeter around the table, and asked us, the dozen or so participants, to stand within the perimeter.
"When I give the signal," she said, "I want you to walk randomly around this small space, and as often as possible, I want you to touch this object of your desire. Don't move in a circle as you would in walking meditation. Just walk back and forth, and try to cover the whole space, coming back to touch the stone as often as you can. At a certain point, I'll begin to clap my hands. As I speed up my clapping, speed up your walking."
We began to walk, touching the stone, walking away, returning to touch the stone again, bumping and jostling each other as we tried to manoeuvre the constricted space. As Francesca clapped her hands more and more quickly, we found ourselves tripping over one another to get to the stone. At one point she stopped, pushed the cushion perimeter even closer to the table, and had us do the exercise again.
I was doing my best to take this all in good spirits, but I could feel my irritation rise with every nudge and bump. I'd come here to sit and walk in silence – Nyinthuns, after all, are supposed to be mostly silent retreats, where we eat lunch without speaking and hold talks and discussions only at the end of the day. I'd been looking forward to a morning of this silence, but here I was, still a bag of nerves, fighting with a bunch of strangers to touch a rock.
Then Francesca brought us all to a halt. "Now," she said, "I want you to let go of the stone. Forget about it. I want you to walk through this space again, and speed up as I clap, in just the same way. But instead of looking at the stone – instead of looking at the object of your desire – I want you to look at the others, the people. As you meet them, look at them. Go."
We began walking around again. As we encountered one another, we looked each other in the eye. It was embarrassing, and uncomfortable, and it wasn't long before everyone was smiling awkwardly. And then smiling broadly, grinning at one another as we passed. Francesca clapped more and more quickly, and we slid by each other more and more rapidly, but there were only a few bumps and jostles. There was mostly just smiling, and even a bit of laughter. When the clapping stopped and we slowed to a halt, we just stood there beaming at one another.
"Do you see?" Francesca asked. "Do you see what I mean?"
We returned the cushions to their places, and as I settled back onto my crossed legs, I felt like I might melt into the floor.
My fixation, my obsession, with the object of my desire – the end of my semester, the resolution of all the semester's problems, the elusive peace that I would supposedly feel when it was all done – had blinkered me. The students who were pestering me – Lia, Janet, Yannick – were not obstacles between me and the stone, hurdles to be climbed over or knocked down. They were people.
They were responding to their lives in the same way that I was, scrabbling to get at the stone: the good grade, or the passing grade, or the sense of pride that comes when a teacher respects and validates you. I was angry because they were getting in my way. They were angry with me for the same reason. If I could see them, not as frustrating roadblocks, but as people, then maybe I could stop fighting them, and start looking them in the eye. I needed to understand that the stone is not the point. They are.
The morning session was almost done. We sat for a few more minutes, and then scattered for lunch. I couldn't stay for the afternoon, but I stopped Francesca to tell her that the exercise had meant a lot to me.
As I made my way to the metro, my mind no longer simmering, a couple of quiet revelations emerged: a memory of a gesture I'd made a week ago but forgotten, and an inspiration for another one.
That evening, I wrote a message to Janet.
After sending you that last note, I realized that I had in fact agreed to look over the rewrite of one of your classmates, and give it a small bonus, even though it arrived late. This is because the student contacted me IMMEDIATELY about the problem. You did not take that step, but because I did this for him, I will do it for you as well. I hope you will thank him in your heart for his responsibility and common sense.
And to Yannick, I wrote the following:
You have been extremely respectful and reasonable throughout this whole process, and I appreciate this. As I emphasized to you in our last meeting, I am not going to give you extra work or any other special privileges; I will not be giving you any opportunities that I did not give to everyone in the class. I do, however, have a suggestion for you. I think you should go see the dean of your program and explain your situation to him/her. I would be more than happy to send your dean an email or letter attesting to the fact that, although you were not able to pass my course, you made a good effort at the end, and that I expect that if you are re-admitted to the college next semester, you will try harder. This might make a difference, and at the very least, your dean might have some advice that could help you.
After sending these messages, I read them over several times. I still wasn't sure that I was doing the right thing, or that I was doing it for the right reasons. But I went to bed, and I slept very well.

The 2014 International Tennis Hall of Fame class will have a distinctly American flavor, with former world No. 1 Lindsay Davenport, legendary coach Nick Bollettieri and former USTA President Jane Brown Grimes among the five who will be inducted in July at the home of the Hall of Fame in Newport, R.I.
The other inductees, as announced Monday by the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum, are five-time Paralympic medalist Chantal Vandierendonck and British broadcaster John Barrett.
"I'm so honored by this incredible recognition," said Davenport. "I feel very blessed to have had a wonderful tennis career, and now, to be recognized in the Hall of Fame alongside the great champions who have always inspired me is just a tremendous honor. I look forward to celebrating with the other members of the Class of 2014 in Newport this summer."
Davenport was one of the finest players of her generation. She finished as the year-end No. 1 player in the world on four occasions (1998, 2001, 2004-05) and in the Top 5 in eight of nine years between 1997 and 2005. The California native with the booming, flat ground strokes won three Grand Slam singles titles – 1998 US Open, 1999 Wimbledon and 2000 Australian Open – and three Grand Slam doubles titles – 1996 French Open, 1997 US Open and 1999 Wimbledon.
For her career, Davenport won 55 career tour singles titles and 38 doubles titles, and she is one of just six players to be ranked No. 1 in singles and doubles simultaneously. She was also a Fed Cup standout, going 33-3 in Fed Cup competition and leading the U.S. to three championships.
Bollettieri in many ways changed the way tennis was taught in the United States. In 1978, he founded the Nick Bollettieri Tennis Academy in Bradenton, Fla., the first full-time tennis boarding school, which over the years has drawn some of the finest players in tennis history.
In all, Bollettieri has coached 10 players who ascended to No. 1 in the world, including Andre Agassi, Boris Becker, Jim Courier and Monica Seles, and he has also worked with Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams and Venus Williams, among others.
Brown Grimes, meantime, has worked tirelessly behind the scenes to grow and support the game both in the U.S. and internationally. She served on the USTA Board of Directors for 10 years, including as secretary-treasurer and first vice president before becoming the association's first female president in 2007.
Brown Grimes was also active with the International Tennis Hall of Fame & Museum, WTA and ITF, serving as the executive director (1981-86) and president (1991-2000) of the Hall of Fame and as the managing director of what became the WTA Board (1986-91).

Reforming Military Command Arrangements: The Case of the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force
February 25, 2011
Authored by Mr. Henrik Bliddal.
Our national security system turns our overall capabilities into active assets, protects us against the threats of an anarchic international system, and makes it possible to exploit its opportunities. Today, however, the system is arguably in dire need of reform.
