For the "Fringe" faithful, tonight's episode "The End of All Things" is poised to be the beginning of a clearer vision of the sci-fi show's bigger game plan. PopcornBiz crossed worlds to ask executive producers Jeff Pinkner and J.H. Wyman for a preview – sans spoilers – of what to expect on the alternate reality-bending drama, and a tease of how they hope to satisfy the loyal fan base if the fourth season proves to be "Fringe's" final.
Jeff Pinkner: It's sort of like the episode was designed to tell a few things that all interacted: the story between Olivia and Nina, and any time Jared Harris as David Robert Jones is on the screen is just fantastic, and allowing Michael Cerveris as our Observer to peel back some layers and reveal some truths about what his agenda has been. And to really use that as an opportunity to revisit the things we've done before in the show.
J.H. Wyman: We always said that you'll find out about the Observers this season and that we're going to investigate them a lot more. So we're excited about it all because the Observers are a highlight. For us to kind of constantly break what you think you know, and sort of reset and have to go, 'Wow, I didn't see that coming,' – that's kind of why we get up in the morning. It's to take people on for the ride.
Pinkner: It's definitely, as they say, a game-changer, in that our characters learn a lot more and the audience is going to learn a lot more about the uber-plot of our season and our season bad guy, David Robert Jones. Certainly for Peter and Olivia and Walter this season is going to start to unfold in ways that, hopefully, will be really both satisfying and challenging to our characters. It's the 14th out of 22 episodes and it's very much a hinge episode that's going to launch us into the back half of the season.
Wyman: Obviously, we can't tell anything, but I think that with David Robert Jones, just remember that on Fringe we try to make like nothing is as it seems. That there's always a little more to the story behind the story. He's definitely a large part going forward. I think a lot of things will come full circle, but you'll be like, 'Oh, wow.' And it'll re-contextualize a lot of things that you've already seen.
Pinkner: We did not know that this was going to be a break [until late March]. We thought that the break was going to come after the next episode, which also is a wonderful episode to take a break on – we're sort of in a zone of episodes right now where each one is pretty amazing. Each one either turns the story or resolves something important or leaves a cliffhanger, so each is pretty awesome in itself and also is very important to the overall patchwork of the season. We are very happy that this ended up being one before we went on a little break. But I think the fans are going to be very well satisfied to come back and watch the next one as well.
Wyman: If this is the last season I would feel, obviously, incredibly sad, because I know how much of the story that we have left to tell and that we would love to tell. But in the same breath, I kind of feel like I would feel that I could take care of the fans. That's the most important to us: that we feel like we have an ending that would leave people feeling like, 'Wow, I feel sad, but satiated. I feel like that was definitely worth my four years of investment. I really love these characters and I can see where it would have gone, but I feel good.' That's all we're concerned about is to make sure that the fans don't feel like, 'Wait, what? What happened? I've invested four years of my life and I don't get any kind of resolution that makes sense. That's not what's going on.' And to be 100% frank, our partners at Fox would never want to consciously allow that to happen. So everybody knows that Jeff and I are very prepared. We're ready for anything.
Pinkner: As far as the season finale, no, we have not written it. In fact, we are talking about it sort of specifically as soon as we get off this phone call. But we do know what it is. We've known the shape of our season before we started.
'Fringe' Promises Biggest Game-Changer Yet

Today and throughout 2013, a Community Medicaid applicant/recipient is allowed a maximum monthly income of $800. This means that any amount above the $800 is to be surrendered to Medicaid otherwise Medicaid ceases until the spend-down is paid.
Many individuals in need of care and assistance choose not to apply for Community Medicaid, because they need every penny of their income to exist and cannot afford to surrender their excess income.
However, today it is no longer necessary to lose the excess income. There is finally a tool called pooled-income-trust that allows the community Medicaid recipient to protect their excess income.
How does the pooled income trust work?
Suppose an individual has an income of $2,800 per month and wishes to apply for Community Medicaid medical assistance. Medicaid would consider $2,000 of their income to be excess income and require the recipient to surrender that amount on a monthly basis.
However, by joining a Medicaid approved pooled-income-trust, the recipient is allowed to deposit the surplus income, in this case $2,000, with a Medicaid-approved pooled income trust, and ask the pooled income trust to pay their bills, such as rent, telephone, cable, food, credit card, mortgage, etc.
In doing so, they are able to use their excess income and not surrender it to Medicaid. There is no limit to the excess income. Any amount above the $800 is considered excess income and all of the excess income can be deposited in a pooled income trust.
All Medicaid-approved pooled income trusts are managed by a nonprofit organization and holds the assets of many individuals. Each account holder has their own account number, and they will receive a monthly statement indicating deposits and withdrawals.
A pooled income trust allows the recipient who has a large monthly income to use that money to pay their monthly expenses and still be eligible for assistance.
Medicaid recipients who have an income above $800 per month and wish to have both Community Medicaid medical assistance and protect and use their excess monthly income should consider joining a pooled income trust.
The pooled income trust program is available for both individuals who are applying for Community Medicaid or those individuals who are already receiving services through the Community Medicaid program and have a monthly spend-down.
Jack Lippmann is president of Eldercare Services in Fresh Meadows. He has more than 18 years of experience in the field of Medicaid services.

Emma (Japanese: マチエール Matiere) is a character introduced in Pokémon X and Y who plays a major role in the post-game side story with Looker in Lumiose City. She is the only character in the games to have the Trainer classes Suspicious Woman (Japanese: あやしいおとな Suspicious Adult), Suspicious Child (Japanese: あやしいこども Suspicious Child), and Suspicious Lady (Japanese: あやしいおねえさん Suspicious Miss).

|Spoiler warning: this article may contain major plot or ending details.
In X and Y, Emma is a young girl living in the dark alleyways of Lumiose City with her Espurr friend, Mimi (Japanese: もこお Mokō). She is initially an illiterate orphan who doesn't even have enough money to buy Poké Balls. She meets Looker and the player during their first case, where concerned mothers reported that their children have been hanging out in suspicious alleyways. In reality, the children were playing with and protecting Emma and Mimi. Looker invites Emma to live at the Looker Bureau and work as his assistant. Though she is interested, Emma doesn't want to leave Mimi behind. Looker extends the invitation to Mimi as well, but Mimi is terrified of adults and runs off. After the player has found and befriended Mimi, Emma is much friendlier towards Looker and accepts his invitation, heading back to the Looker Bureau with him, Mimi, and the player. Emma then begins to learn how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic under Looker's tutelage.
During the following case, Emma returns to the Bureau to find a hysterical Tourist angrily shouting insults in Japanese (English in non-English languages) about Looker, who had left moments ago under the assumption that the woman wanted tea. Speaking Japanese (English in non-English languages), Emma defends Looker while Mimi translates their conversation telepathically for the player and Looker, revealing that the woman had her Pokémon stolen at the Lumiose Station. When Looker returns and learns of the situation, Emma tries to discourage him from helping the woman, but Looker insists that anyone in distress deserves their help and quickly leaves for the station. Emma then begs for the player to help Looker, revealing that he is defenseless because his only Pokémon died during a past case.
The culprits at the station turn out to be the Lumiose Gang, a trio of gangsters, who stole the Pokémon in order to lure Looker to their turf for a challenge. Emma had unintentionally become their boss after beating them in a fight, and they recognized her strength as leadership, but she stopped hanging around them once she took up residence at the Looker Bureau. Once the gangsters are defeated by the player, Emma shows up and demands that they return the stolen Pokémon and apologize to Looker.
Emma steadily grows worried that she and Mimi are a financial burden on Looker, though he assures her that they have enough money to get by and encourages her to focus on her studies. Still feeling guilty, Emma sets off to look for part-time work at a café that she saw was hiring. It turns out that the café was actually Lysandre Café and Emma was tricked into being a test subject for Xerosic's invention, the Expansion Suit. This leads to her disappearing for long stretches of time, which worries Looker greatly.
When in the Expansion Suit, Emma is given the codename Essentia (Japanese: エスプリ Esprit). The suit enhances her physical abilities to superhuman levels, gives her the ability to override a Poké Ball's programming, and allows her to change her appearance. While running his tests, Xerosic finds that Emma has no experience as a Trainer and teaches her the basics, also allowing her to borrow his Pokémon. However, the Pokémon prefer playing with Emma instead of battling, which forces Xerosic to control the suit remotely. Emma falls unconscious while the remote-control function is engaged, and she has no memory of anything that happens while she is "asleep".
During her tests as Essentia, she behaves like a robot and follows Xerosic's every command. The first test has her sneak into the Lumiose Museum and vandalize a painting. Afterwards, she begins lurking in dark alleys and challenging unsuspecting people to battle, stealing their Poké Balls afterwards. This catches the attention of Looker, who works with the player to bait and catch the perpetrator. When she gets cornered, Mimi runs in, tipping Looker off to Essentia's true identity. Xerosic's control over the suit starts to malfunction after Essentia tries to attack Mimi, only to accidentally hurt Looker. Essentia flees the scene and the tests are temporarily suspended.
The following day, the player is sent to apprehend Xerosic at Lysandre Labs. After the player defeats Essentia in a series of battles, Looker arrives and demands that Xerosic release Emma. After the suit's remote-control function starts glitching again, Xerosic agrees, letting Emma go and allowing Looker to take him into custody.
After Xerosic is brought to justice, Looker reveals to Emma that he is a member of the International Police and that he must leave to continue his civic duty. However, he feels strongly towards Emma and in order to ensure that she has a bright future, purchases the entire building where Looker Bureau was located, and instructs Emma to use it however she sees fit. As the new head detective, Emma vows to keep Lumiose City safe with her identity as Essentia, using the suit and Pokémon that Xerosic gave her.
|Spoilers end here.
After completing the Looker storyline, the player can have a rematch with Emma in her Expansion Suit once per day on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, she will not be wearing the Expansion Suit and talk about her duties as the head of the Looker Bureau.
| Mimi (Japanese: もこお Mokō) is Emma's closest friend and companion. After the player finds Mimi and befriends it, Emma decides to trust the player and Looker.
Mimi and its Psychic abilities prove vital in assisting the Looker Bureau, acting as a translator and tracker.
|Pokémon X and Y
During her time as Essentia, she used Xerosic's Pokémon. After he was arrested however, he left his Pokémon in her care.

Looker Chapter 2: In the Back Alleys
- Lumiose City, South Boulevard alleyway
- First meeting
- "Yup, old man, you got that right."
- "Oh, nobody special. But this little sweetie right here is Mimi. That's what I named it, anyway."
- "Huh? What Poké Ball?"
- "I'm not a Trainer! Mimi is my friend. I have no money to buy Poké Balls, so I can't be a Trainer, you get it? Anyway, Mimi and I don't need a Poké Ball to be friends!"
- "Well, we're all playing, that's all. Everybody here is a friend of mine. What are you asking for? Do you want to join or something?"
- "Oh, put a sock in it! Play nice, both of you! How would you like to get left out just 'cause you're old and stuff?"
- "Oh, really? Well... Mimi and I have always lived in alleys, so I don't know much about sunshine."
- "They're gone. I'm alone."
- "Well, but... Bur Mimi is sort of my family. We stick together."
- "Wha..."
- "Mimi gets scared pretty easy. Afraid of humans, I guess. Especially grown-ups. Hey... Mr. Looker-guy... For a minute there, I was kinda happy that you invited me to stay with you... You're pretty cool. But I can't. Mimi likes it better here. I can't leave Mimi behind. We stick together."
- "P-partner?"
- If talked to again
- "Umm... <player>? If you wanna make friends with Mimi, you're gonna have to track it down first. There's, like, tons of alleys in Lumiose City. Mimi wanders all over them on its strolls. If you find it, try talking to it... Or do something to make Mimi like you."
- After finding Mimi
- "Awesome! <player>, are you wicked or what? How'd you get Mimi to like you so fast?"
- "OK! I'm ready! As long as Mimi's with me! ♪ I'm pretty curious to find out what a detective does!"
- Looker Bureau
- "Wow... So this is the Looker Bureau? It's sure warmer than the alley. This is gonna be great, huh, Mimi?"
- "Who, me? I'm just Emma. Nice to meet you! ♪"
- If talked to again after the quest
- "Oh, hi, <player>! Did you ever go to school? School is a place where they teach you all kinds of things, so I heard. Guess what? I told Mr. Looker I'd never gone to school, and he said he'd teach me himself!"
Looker Chapter 3: Detective, Tourist, Gang
- Looker Bureau
- "I'm home, Mr. Looker!"
- "Oh! <player>! Welcome back! Is Mr. Looker out? And who's this old lady?"
- "……ちょっと オバサン なんて こと いうの……? あたしのことは どうでも いい…… けど ルッカーおじさん のこと わるく いうのは ゆるさない…… ……それにさ あたしが おじさんの こどもの わけ ないよ ……おじさんに しつれい だよ。"
- "うん…… まあね…… だいたいで なんとなく だけど。 このまち って おそとに いると いろんな くにの ことばで おはなし してるのが きこえるから いつのまにか おぼえちゃったの。"
- "Hmm... If we keep going like this, then <player> is gonna be totally lost... And I don't feel like opening up the trash talk with this old lady again... Hey, Mimi! How about it? Do you think you can help us out with your power?"
- "ふーん…… で? どこで ぬすまれたの?"
- "……えき ……ガラの わるい れんちゅう。 もしかして…… あのこ たち かな?"
- "Um, Mr. Looker? This old lady here says her Pokémon were stolen. I'd guess the thieves are still in Lumiose Station..."
- "Just a minute, Mr. Looker."
- "I'd bet anything that the guy who stole this old lady's Pokémon was part of the Lumiose Gang. They're rough types, you know? If we stick our noses in, that means a battle for sure..."
- "Yeah. So let's drop it, OK? You know, that old lady was talking trash about you while you were out. She ain't nice. It's not worth having a great big fight to help a person like her."
- "Mr. L-L-Looker... ... ... ... <player>, help Mr. Looker! Please! He doesn't even have a Pokémon! H-he once said something... A long time ago, he had a Pokémon. A partner that was always with him... But... They were on a case...and...and... I don't know that happened, but... his partner didn't make it... If he tries to stand up to the Lumiose Gang without a single Pokémon on his side, he doesn't have a chance! Oh, please! Oh, please. Go help him! You're his partner now, aren't you? Don't let him go alone!"
- No: "Don't say that! Mr. Looker has faith in you, <player>! He truly does! He...he said that when he looks at you, it almost makes him feel like he has his lost Pokémon partner back again! He...he said there's something in your eyes, somehow the same look... So he felt he could trust you... You're his partner now, aren't you? Don't let him go alone!"
- Yes: "Oh, <player>. Thank...you... The Lumiose Gang is always somewhere on the platforms at Lumiose Station, up on North Boulevard... I think you're powerful enough to face then, <player>... But be ready for anything! Just in case!"
- If talked to again
- "Oh, <player>. Thank...you... The Lumiose Gang is always somewhere on the platforms at Lumiose Station, up on North Boulevard... I think you're powerful enough to face then, <player>... But be ready for anything! Just in case!"
- Lumiose Station
- "Stop it, all of you!"
- "Stop it! I mean it! And return those stolen Pokémon!"
- "Oh, put a sock in it! I said up front--don't count me in. You went ahead and called me boss without even asking what I wanted. I decide for myself! Now, back off before I really lose it!"
- "Right. Well, enough said. I'll let it go this time, but... You need to say sorry to the lady you stole from. And to Mr. Looker, too!"
- "Mr. L-L-Looker..."
- Looker Bureau
- After returning from Lumiose Station
- "Mr. Looker... I'm really sorry about what happened earlier... When that woman insulted you, I just saw red and I... I..."
- "Oh, it's just silly. I wasn't in the gang for real! I had a big fight with them one time, and after I took them down, they figured I was their boss. It was all their idea, not mine!"
- "... ... ..."
- "Hey, Mr. Looker?"
- "Mr. Looker... You said there is no substitute for honest work if you want to make a difference in this world. But I don't do any work at all... You asked me to be your assistant. But I've never done any work the whole time I've been staying here. All I've done is learn things from you... Is that really enough? Is it really OK for me to be here?"
- "But, Mr. Looker... We're always here in the Looker Bureau. And there's almost never any clients! Are Mimi and I just getting in your way? I mean, you went and turned down taking money from that tourist lady. Be straight with me, Mr. Looker. I'm asking, really, if it's really OK for Mimi and I to stay here...moneywise?"
- Alone with Mimi
- "Hey, Mimi..."
- "Mr. Looker said we didn't need to worry about anything, y'know? But I just don't feel like we can keep depending on him like this forever. He lets us stay here for free and pays for all the food we eat..."
- "So I think I need to do something."
- "Thanks to Mr. Looker, I can read now, right? And I've seen signs around town for part-time work."
- "The signs say it's easy work and anyone can learn it. Maybe even I can do it, then! I'm going over there right now to ask them for a job! What do you think, Mimi?"
- "Hee hee hee, really?"
Looker Chapter 4: An Unforgivable Crime
- North Boulevard, Galette Stand alleyway
- As Suspicious Woman "???"
- "Excuse me... Are you perhaps a Trainer? If you have a moment, how about a little battle with me?"
- No: "I'm disappointed. And you looked strong, too. Is something the matter? If you just need a little time to prepare, I would be happy to wait."
- Yes: "I am just itching for a good battle... Let us begin at once!"
- When defeated
- "How wonderfully strong!"
- After being defeated
- "Oh ho ho! You have some wonderfully strong Pokémon. I wonder, young man/lady, if you wouldn't consider... giving them all to me!"

- As Suspicious Child "???"
- "Hiya! You're a Trainer, right? How about a Pokémon battle?"
- No: "Really, no? But why-y-y-y-y? I can wait if you need a sec. Why don't you go get the very strongest Pokémon you have?"
- Yes: "I can't wait to see which Pokémon you use! Let's have a great battle!"
- When defeated
- "Tee hee hee hee..."
- After being defeated
- "Wow. Mr./Miss Trainer, your Pokémon are super strong! They're so awesome. I sure wish I had Pokémon like that. I could really do well with those Pokémon. In fact... Hand them over right now."
- As Essentia
- South Boulevard alleyway
- As Suspicious Lady "???"
- "Welcome, welcome. Step right up. I didn't expect you to show. But here you are. Heh heh heh... Let's get into it."
- No: "Oh? You're scared to battle? Are you sure?"
- Yes: "Heh heh heh... That's right! No running away! Let's start!"
- When defeated
- "Mmm... Wonderful... I want that Poké Ball..."
- After being defeated
- "You really do have some of the best Pokémon... So why not give up already and hand them over to me?"
- As Essentia
- "... ... ..."
- "... ... ..."
- "... ... ..."

- Looker Bureau
- "Oh! You actually showed up! Hey, <player>, I was hoping to find Mr. Looker. I've been so busy lately that I'm hardly ever here anymore. Do you have any idea where he is?"
- "Wha...? He's in the hospital?! What's wrong with him? Now I'm even more worried than before! B-but... I'd need more money to get to the hospital..."

- "Yawwwn! Oh, really? Then I guess I've got to start looking for a new job again."
- "Huh? Wait? Why is everyone here? I thought it was a secret that I was working here!"
- "Hm? What do you mean? I've just been taking a nap. My job here was really easy. All I had to do was wear this suit while I snoozed away."
- "What are you doing here, Mr. Looker? I thought you were in the hospital!"
- "Oh, I see. I was afraid you might be mad because I started working without telling you. I kept it a secret all this time... You really are a great detective, aren't you, Mr. Looker? You found me anyway!"
- "Oh, sure. No problem! We'll head out now! Let's all go together! Mimi! And you, too, <player>!"
- Looker Bureau
- "Um-hm... That Mr. Looker! He said his stomach is still paining him too much to check out yet! I wonder if this time he'll tell me which hospital he's at. I've never even visited him once! And it seems like Mr. Xerosic is busy, too, what with getting ready for his big arrest and all. I gotta say it's a bit, well, lonesome around here at the office, really..."

- "Oh! Mimi, you're back! Come on, Mimi! You're part of the welcome party, too!"
- "Huh? What's wrong with Mimi? I think it's holding something..."
- "It's...a letter? It's from Mr. Looker. <player>... I'll read it out loud, OK?"
- "Wh-what is this... Is he joking? What's this "International Police"? H-he wouldn't go and leave us, would he? Why...? Could he leave without even saying a word to us?! It can't be... He can't go... I don't want him to go off somewhere without us! He can't have gotten far yet, right? <player>! I'm going after him!"

- "Wh-what?"
- "But that's not fair at all!"
- "Come on, <player>! Say something! Tell him he's wrong!"
- "Dr. Xerosic..."
- "Dr. Xerosic... Dr. Xerosic, you've tried to do terrible things to the world, I guess. I find it hard to see you as that kind of person. I only became a Pokémon Trainer thanks to your being there for me. ... ... ... I will always cherish your Pokémon and your suit, Dr. Xerosic. I won't forget our bonds, either..."
- "Mr. Looker... I think I understand... And I know what I'm gonna do. I'll keep on working hard for you. I've got Mimi and <player> to help me. With Dr. Xerosic's Pokémon and Expansion Suit, I will become the new head of the Looker Bureau!"
- "Thank you... And good-bye..."
- Looker Bureau
- "That's enough..."
- "Hey, Mimi? You know, we've made a lot of really good friends since we left the alleys... Mr./Miss <player> and Mr. Looker... And Dr. Xerosic, too..."
- "Mimi... Those two old guys really did everything for us... Do you think that's what it's like...to have a father?"
- "Hehehe... Nothing. Never mind. Of course you wouldn't know any better than me, Mimi. But...I'm still glad. I'm glad we got to meet them."
- Looker Bureau (post-Looker)
- On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday
- "Oh! <player>! How're you doing? We've got no new cases in the Looker Bureau today! I was thinking of going for a walk with Mimi, but what if a client came in while I was gone? Do you think you could hold down the fort for a while?"
- Yes: "Hehehe... Thank you, <player>. You're always so sweet. But never mind--I think I'll stay in. I can take a walk later. Mr. Looker entrusted me with the Looker Bureau, and I've got to be a good head!"
- No: "Oh, really? O-of course... I see... You're a really busy person, of course. Right, <player>? Sorry for asking too much. Just forget about it, OK? But don't forget that you are also part of the Looker Bureau! So feel free to drop by for a visit any time!"
- On Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday (Rematch)
- "Oh, <player>, how are you? I just finished my work. Thanks to the Expansion Suit, it's easy to go anywhere, and with the Pokémon that Xerosic gave me, I can deal with any kind of job request! Oh, I know! <player>, why don't we have a Pokémon battle?"
- Yes: "Great! This'll be fun! Here I come!"
- No: "Oh, I see... That's a shame..."
- When defeated
- "Hmm... I lost..."
- After being defeated
- "Hehehe... I lost... Hehehe... That was great! I knew you must be good at battling, <player>! Looker and the others said you were a Champion. I guess it's true, huh?"

In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Emma debuts in the X & Y chapter. She was originally a normal child that lived with cruel parents, but eventually ran away from her home to live as a street urchin in the Lumiose City alleyways. She befriended other homeless children and Pokémon that had similar experiences. Together, they banded together to form the Lumiose Gang with Emma serving as their leader. Emma would later end up befriending Cassius and joined his gang of friends. Due to her lack on knowledge of computers, Emma felt like a burden to Cassius, so she decided to take odd jobs to help her friends.
Emma first appears in the guise of Essentia at Shalour City. She attacks the Tower of Mastery in order to obtain the secrets of Mega Evolution. By keeping Korrina distracted upstairs with her Trevenant, Essentia interrogates Gurkinn on the bottom floor. When Gurkinn reveals that only his family and people he has entrusted a Mega Ring to know about it, Essentia begins attacking him. Gurkinn attempts to escape, but the injury he received from Trevenant's attacks prevents him from moving quickly. As Gurkinn is trapped into a corner surrounded by flames, Korrina comes down to save him. Gurkinn also sends out his Heracross and Mega Evolves it to attack Essentia's Phantump. Gurkinn and Korrina attempt to escape, but find that Trevenant has slowly be covering the tower in its roots, preventing any attempt at escape. Having no choice but to protect the secrets of Mega Evolution, Gurkinn and Korrina have their Pokémon activate the Tower of Mastery's self destruct switch, causing the tower to collapse and destroy itself. As the tower collapses, Essentia tells Gurkinn her name and denies his previous claim that she is a member of Team Flare.
Emma debuts as herself at Cassius's house, where the latter introduces her to X and his friends. She adopts an Espurr that used to belong to a Team Flare Grunt that Cassius and X defeated, which she later names Mimi. She travels with Cassius and his friends as they travel around Kalos to maintain their systems of various places like the Battle Chateau. Later, Cassius gets a call from his friends from his Holo Caster, that Emma has gone missing, with the former stating that it's not the first time it has happened.
Emma returns to Team Flare Secret HQ as Essentia to try out an upgraded version of the Expansion Suit. Later. she joins Celosia to help with Team Flare's operation to move Xerneas's tree form to their base with the use of the captured Vaniville Town residents. While Celosia oversees the operation, Essentia is tasked with keeping out intruders. X and Y arrive and attempt to stop this, but are defeated when Essentia's Trevenant manipulates the forest's plant life to prevent them from moving. As Celosia plans to finish the heroes off, X and Y are saved by Gurkinn, Korrina, and Diantha, who attack Celosia and Essentia with their Mega Evolved Pokémon. Gurkinn helps free X's group with the assistance of his Gengar. He sends Gengar to battle Essentia's Trevenant, but none of its attacks manage to reach and eventually Gengar gives up in frustration and lounges next to a tree. Gurkinn decides to give Gengar to X, who accepts and names his new Pokémon Garma. X Mega Evolves Garma into Mega Gengar with his Mega Ring, giving it the power to easily sneak up from behind Trevenant and defeat it in one blow.
With her main Pokémon down, X's group surrounds Essentia now that they have the advantage and plan on opening her helmet to reveal her true identity. X's Pokémon proceed to attack, only to stop when Essentia's appearances changes to that of their Trainer. Xerosic is shocked that Essentia would use the Expansion Suit's untested texturing function. Essentia uses her suit to confuse her opponents even further and attempts to escape, only for a wild Klefki befriended by Y's mother to strike her from behind and cause the suit to malfunction. After shifting between different appearances, Essentia retreats under Xerosic's orders. Later, Emma travels to Laverre City, where she reunites with Cassius. She watches X's friends as they train to prepare for future encounters with Team Flare.
When X heads to Geosenge Town to attack Team Flare at their headquarters, Emma follows after him due to Mimi secretly climbing into Kanga's pouch. She offers to help X stop Team Flare and assists by sending a pair of attacking Grunts flying with Mimi's power. When Emma tells X about her past and how she met Cassius's gang, X begins crying, only to deny it when Emma notices him. They travel inside the headquarters, but are separated when X accidentally steps on a warp tile that teleports him away. Emma continues exploring the base by herself and eventually reaches the underground portion, where she finds a giant man locked inside a jail cell. Emma befriends the giant man and learns that his name is AZ. When Trevor, Tierno, and Shauna head into the building to help X, they end up walking past AZ's cell. They are initially startled by AZ's imposing size, but Emma assures the three that he is a kind person. After breaking the cell door, Emma and AZ join the three and head into the ultimate weapon's control room, where X had already been defeated by Lysandre. Trevor and the others attempt to stop Lysandre from firing the ultimate weapon onto the Kalos region. They are unable to prevent the weapon from firing, but the combined efforts of X's friends and allies manage to prevent the loss of innocent lives. AZ has Xerneas take Emma and the others to the surface while he is captured and forced to be left behind.
At Anistar City, Emma, as Essentia, sends a group of Hawlucha to attack Professor Sycamore. When X and his friends arrive, they defeat the Hawlucha and rescue Professor Sycamore. As Essentia watches from behind the Anistar Sundial, she begins to wonder if she should chance attempting to steal X and Y's Key Stones, despite her mission to trace the whereabouts of "Z", which had been seen around Anistar. Before she can come to an answer, her suit begins malfunctioning, causing Emma to awaken before turning back into Essentia. When Y manages to find her, the two battle each other on the Anistar rooftops. During their clash, Essentia attempts to use her suit's Poké Ball Jack function to hack into Y's Xerneas's Poké Ball and take control of it. Y eventually gets separated from Essentia and wakes up in a Pokémon Center, where she takes the opportunity to heal her Pokémon, completely unaware that the Nurse is Essentia in disguise. While she is distracted, Essentia knocks Y unconscious and takes Xerneas's Poké Ball.
Using the Expansion Suit's texturing function, Essentia attempts to meet with X while disguised as Y. X quickly sees through this ruse and has his Pinsir damage Essentia's helmet with its horns, breaking the camouflage. Immediately afterward, Y arrives, having been found by her friends. With their Mega Rings, X and Y Mega Evolve their Pokémon to do battle with Essentia and retrieve Xerneas. With Xerneas now under her control, Essentia uses it to battle against X and Y. The battle is interrupted by the arrival of Zygarde, which begins attacking everyone. Essentia decides to shift her attention to Zygarde and attempts to capture it while it charges itself with the power of nature, leaving it completely defenseless while it does so. Although this causes her to lose control of Xerneas, Essentia manages to successfully capture Zygarde. Essentia escapes afterward, but the repeated damage her suit took in the battle prevents Xerosic from being able to communicate with or control Essentia.
Later, when Lysandre battles against X, Blue, and Blaine at the Pokémon Village, he summons Essentia via a remote control device. Lysandre reveals that Xerosic designed the Expansion Suit to put the user to sleep and move with an artificial intelligence in order to keep the suit's wearer safe. Lysandre uses the remote control to lift the restriction on Essentia's suit, thus fully turning her into a puppet for him to manipulate. By speaking into the controller, Lysandre forces Essentia to give commands to Zygarde, allowing him to use it to attack.
While Zygarde battles against Mewtwo, X decides the best option would be to take Essentia out as she is Zygarde's Trainer. X uses Marisso to attack Essentia, knocking her away and fully destroying her helmet. When he goes over to investigate, X is shocked to find that Essentia is actually Emma. X attempts to help by removing the Expansion Suit, but Emma stops him. Emma reveals that despite being under hypnosis, she is aware of her actions while wearing the suit. Emma explains that due to her life at home and on the streets, she felt unsafe, but wearing the Expansion Suit helped Emma feel like she could do anything. When Emma asks if defeating Team Flare will make people start treating her well, X is left speechless.
X gives Emma a speech and tells her that despite how hard life is, she still has people that truly care about her and will be sad if they learn about the things she has done. Emma, hearing X's words, decides to stop working for Lysandre, but is still under his control due to the Expansion Suit. Cassius arrives and frees Emma by destroying the Expansion Suit's controller. Now free and in control of herself, Emma commands Zygarde to attack Lysandre, but is attacked by Lysandre's Gyarados before she can finish the command. Lysandre takes Zygarde's Poké Ball and assumes control over it by having it blow everyone away with Land's Wrath. Emma and Cassius survive the attack, but are left too injured to be able to battle.
After Lysandre and Team Flare are defeated, Cassius drives everyone back to Lumiose City. After arriving at their destination, Emma and Cassius wave X and his friends goodbye.
As Emma
| Mimi (Japanese: もこお Mokō) was originally part of a group of four Espurr used by a Team Flare Grunt to distract X and his friends. While three of the Espurr were caught by Cassius and his Gourgeist, Mimi was simply left confused and wandered around before being found by Emma and given its nickname.
None of Mimi's moves are known.
|Overthrowing a Tyrunt
As Essentia
| Trevenant is Essentia's first known Pokémon and was taken from a Trainer through the usage of the Poké Ball Jack function. It was used to attack Gurkinn and Korrina at the Tower of Mastery. It kept Korrina distracted while Essentia talked to Gurkinn. Due to its typing, Korrina's Mega Lucario was unable to do any damage to it. When Trevenant began covering the tower in its roots, Gurkinn and Korrina destroyed the tower to protect it from being taken by Essentia. While overseeing the plan to move Xerneas to Team Flare's base, Trevenant was used to patrol the forest and keep out any intruders. There, it battled X and Y and managed to defeat them both by binding them and their Pokémon with the forest's plants. After being freed, X fought Trevenant with his newly-obtained Gengar, Garma. By Mega Evolving Garma into Mega Gengar, Trevenant was easily defeated.
Trevenant's known moves are Horn Leech, Bulldoze, and Will-O-Wisp.
|X & Y chapter
| Phantump is Essentia's second known Pokémon. It was first seen with its Trainer when she asked Gurkinn about Mega Evolution. After getting some info, they immediately began attacking Gurkinn. Gurkinn retaliated with his Mega Heracross, which used its horn to ram Phantump.
None of Phantump's moves are known.
|X & Y chapter
| These four Hawlucha were used to attack Professor Sycamore at Anistar City. When X and his friends arrived, they battled the Hawlucha to save the professor. X sent out his Rute, which easily dodged the Hawlucha's moves before sending out the rest of his team to battle all the Hawlucha at once. During her battle against Y, Emma used a single Hawlucha to battle her. By throwing stones, it managed to knock Y out of the air. Without their team member, the other three Hawlucha lost their teamwork and were easily defeated by X's team.
Their only known move is Brave Bird*.
|Hawlucha Attack
With her Poké Ball Jack, Essentia took control of Y's Xerneas, Xerxer. She used Xerneas to battle against X and Y, but was unable to fully control it. During the battle, X damages Essentia's helmet, causing her to lose further control over Xerneas. When Zygarde interrupts the battle, Essentia focuses her attention on capturing it, causing her to lose control over Xerneas entirely.
Zygarde, also known as Kalos's "Overseer" (Japanese: 監視者 Watcher), first appeared in Anistar City. When Essentia attempted to capture it by having Trevenant bind it with vines, Zygarde attempted to retaliate by summoning the forces of nature and absorbing them into its body. Doing so left it completely defenseless, allowing Essentia to easily capture it and escape. At the Pokémon Village, Lysandre controlled Essentia so that he may use Zygarde to battle against X, Blue, and Blaine. As it battled Mewtwo, X had his Marisso smash Essentia's helmet in the hopes that it may sever Lysandre's connection to Zygarde. After Emma decides to fight Lysandre, he steals Zygarde's Poké Ball, allowing him to directly command it.

Statement of Need Pain is one of the most prevalent medical complaints in the U.S. For the millions of Americans who experience persistent pain, the impact on function and quality of life can be profound; such pain is associated with a high utilization of healthcare and substantial economic costs. Many options exist for paint management. Physicians must utilize a rational approach to the selection, administration, and titration of medications used in pain management, while integrating useful nonpharmacologic options. Although opioid medications are commonly viewed as drugs of choice for acute pain and the pain of terminal illness, their use for chronic non-cancer pain has increased substantially during the past two decades in association with a deeply concerning rise in prescription drug abuse, unintentional overdoses, and deaths. Physicians need current, state-of-art education to develop the skills necessary to manage patients with persistent pain, including determining whether opioid analgesics are appropriate for use, and if so, to use them safely and effectively.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A Coral Springs man accused of killing his wife was on trial after he was accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill witnesses in his case.
Munwar Toha, 65, is charged with four counts of solicitation to commit murder.
Toha shook his head as prosecutors presented evidence to jurors on Wednesday, including an audio recording of Toha talking to a detective who he thought was a hit man.
Detective: "Have you made up your mind up?"
Caller: "Yes."
Detective: "What do you want to do?
Caller: "(Unintelligible) for a while you know, disappear for a while."
Detective: "I don't really understand 'for a while' because what am I going to do with them, you know what I mean?"
Caller: "Yeah, it's uh."
Detective: "I mean, permanent or just?"
Caller: "Permanent"
In March of 2010, Toha made a tearful plea to the public for help finding his wife Surya, who he said never came home after taking their two kids to school days earlier. But a week later, Coral Springs police uncovered surveillance video which, they say, shows Toha in the parking lot of a warehouse in the middle of the night, pulling a bicycle out of the trunk of car and then driving that car into a canal. Police found his wife's body in the submerged vehicle days earlier.
Oscar Izquierdo is the state's star witness in the solicitation case. He's a fellow prisoner who told jurors that Toha asked him to hire a hit man to kill four people who are going to testify against him in his wife's murder. Izquierdo put Toha in touch with an undercover detective who posed as a hit man.
"I asked him if he had any money. He said he didn't have any money," Izquierdo said.
Izquierdo said Toha offered the hit man $800 and some personal belongings.
Caller: "I have two brand new motorcycles in the back of my house. You could have that."
Detectives: "Are they owned by you?"
Caller: "Yes, yes."
But the defense say the whole thing was a set up. Izquierdo, they point out, is a career criminal who's been convicted 44 times. He's also a police informant who has managed to convince several other prisoners to solicit hit men. They also note that his work behind bars as an informant has been rewarded with drastically reduced prison sentences.
"The evidence is gonna show you that nobody was going to get hurt. This was a manufactured crime by a career criminal looking to get a better deal for himself," said defense attorney Martin Fine.
Toha faces up to 30 years in prison if he's convicted on solicitation to commit murder charges. He still faces trial for the murder of his wife.

After unceremoniously being dumped by her boyfriend, Cass Kelly has had enough of men and the big city. She needs a change and a challenge. On a drunken whim, she accepts a job working in a small hotel in the outback town of Mundabucka. Men? Who needs .them? Sex? Never, ever again.
Local cowboy Evan Bates is not one to say never and makes it only too obvious why she needs men, sex and him specifically. The redheaded Cass is in his sights and he aims to get her. But lust isn't the only thing stirring in town. It's the annual Throcker Thrash where legendary gold is hunted and Cass is caught up in the race for it. Who wants it so badly they'll kill for it?
Two hours later, standing at the local airport at Mundabucka with a suitcase in one hand and two cackling caged chooks in the other, Cass looked around her. Behind her was a rusted-in-parts, corrugated tin shack that served as arrival and departures for the overly optimistically named Mundabucka International Airport. In front of her was dry, red dirt as far as the eye could see. And the heat? Suffocating. Unlike Cairns it was a dry heat that sucked all the moisture out of a body. Cass felt the sweat dripping down between her breasts and clinging to the short floral sundress she was wearing.
She put both the suitcase and chooks on the ground and re-scraped her hair up into a haphazard bun on top of her head. "Frig, it's hot." Cass looked around her. Other than the squinty-eyed airport controller, who introduced himself as Phil, there was no one. She was supposed to be met by someone called Evan. Phil smiled when she told him this.
"Evan's a creature of whim. He gets the call of the wild and takes off just like that." He snapped his fingers.
Cass was impressed as not only was Phil missing two front teeth but also three fingers on his left hand and two on his right. He explained this as a 'run-in with a pissed off wild pig.'
She looked down at the caged chickens. "Okay, so maybe this wasn't a brilliant idea but it's not my worst." They cackled loudly. "Oh, shut up. I know what I'm doing—kinda." Cass muttered under her breath and looked around her once more. There was loads of nothing for miles. "Where the hell is he?"
"Who?" came a voice from behind her.
Cass spun around in surprise. "Where did you come from?" She asked as she surveyed the tall, lanky man with broad shoulders that most men would kill for. She looked into the bluest eyes she had ever seen and saw only amusement. Men. Amusement. Not happening.
"You'd be the city chick here to work at McNally's Hotel."
City chick? "I'm Cass Kelly and undoubtedly you'd be the creature of whim, Phil was telling me about."
The dark haired man smiled. "That'd be me." Evan Bates at your service." He looked down at the caged chooks. "You brought chooks." That made his smile wider.
Cass picked up the cage. "You're quick."
Evan scratched his head. "You know, when Jo and Flo said you were bringing them I thought the old girls had lost their minds."
"Do you have a problem with chickens?" They were her pets. She couldn't leave them to fend for themselves when she went bush. They were like family. Sort of.
He shrugged. "Nope. We like chickens here—preferably deep fried."
"You fry my chickens and I will fry your ass."
Evan arched one eyebrow. "That could be fun." His gaze then traveled down her body, lingering on her breasts, before moving down to her thong clad feet and back up to her eyes. "What're their names?"
"How do you know I named them?" She had but that wasn't the point. Do I look that obvious?
"You brought them all the way to the middle of nowhere. They have to be important to you."
The chooks were quiet as they watched him. Cass squared her shoulders. "Mitzi and Bert."
"Yeah, what of it?"
"Bert is a boy's name. This chook is a female," he pointed out as he reached for her bag.
"So?" Cass knew her tone was defensive but she wasn't in the mood to deal with a smart ass man.
Still smiling at her, he responded, "Nothing. So, one bag only?"
"I travel light." She had left everything she owned at Lorelle's place. Not that 'everything' was much. It was an old television, a purple cane chair, a sofa bed and an oversized panda she won at the Cairns show when she was twelve and was reluctant to get rid of.
"Most women travel with all sorts of crap."
"I'm not most women."
Again, he looked her up and down. "Nope, you're different all right."
She wanted to ask what he meant by that but decided against it. She had a feeling the answer would be complicated and right now she needed easy and simple. "How far's McNally's?"
"It's in the middle of town so that'd make it about five kilometers from here."
"Great. Let's go." She desperately wanted a shower. "Where's your car?"
"Yeah, I rode here."
"Well, how am I supposed to get to McNally's?"
"On the back of my horse."
What the? She hadn't ridden a horse in her life and wasn't about to now. "What about my stuff?"
"Phil will drive over later with it."
Cass placed the chicken cage on the ground. "Fine, I'll go into town with Phil."
"No worries. He goes off shift in six hours."
Her eyes widened at that. "Six hours?"
"Yep, he's stationed here in case of emergencies."
Cass looked around at the vast expanse of nothingness. "Like what? Aliens landing?"

Seventeen migrants died when their overloaded boat, which had been detained and was being escorted by authorities, capsized Wednesday off the Turks and Caicos Islands, a spokesman for the British territory's police force said.
Officials originally reported 18 casualties, but the count was revised to 17 Thursday evening, Royal Turks and Caicos Islands Police Force Commissioner Colin Farquhar told NBC News.
Government spokesman Neil Smith said the remains of all the deceased were recovered. All were believed to have been migrants from Haiti.
U.S. & World
The sailboat had been detained early Wednesday by the marine division of the Turks and Caicos Royal Police Force and was being escorted to the island of Providenciales when it overturned near shore.
The boat capsized as it was being towed into dock by the police force to offload the suspects. Officials said they were on scene with the sail freighter when it collapsed.
Farquhar told NBC News the search for additional bodies was put on hold due to worsening light conditions and sea state, but a scaled-down search would continue Thursday.
Thirty-three people were detained as suspected illegal Haitian immigrants consisting of 21 males, including one child, and 12 females, reported NBC News. Officials said they would be repatriated to Haiti as soon as possible.
Of the 17 dead, 12 were male and five were female, and all were adults, according to NBC News. The remains will also be repatriated following autopsies.
More than 100 people were suspected to be on board the boat that was spotted from the Turks and Caicos Marine branch just after 4 a.m., according to the Turks and Caicos Sun
Police are still searching for some migrants who fled the scene once they reached shore.
Last month, about 30 Haitian migrants drowned when their boat struck ground and capsized near the Bahamas. More than 1,500 migrants year, 90 percent of which were from Haiti, were detained in the Bahamas this year.

Students Tackle Video-Game Design
As more schools integrate digital games into learning, programs are evolving to turn students into bona fide video-game designers
In one row, juniors Jacob Currence and Tyler Gum test the gun-shooting level of "Finding Mr. X," a film noir-flavored game they've created to test players' acumen in quadratic equations. Behind them, Kasey Meadows demonstrates how the protagonist in "The Lost Llama" weaves through a maze and solves riddles about mathematical sines, cosines, and tangents.
The incessant low din suggests chaos, but White insists it's the sound of productivity.
"It's just a different type of classroom," she says.
White is the pioneer here at Tygarts Valley Middle and High School in Mill Creek, W.Va., where for one period a day for the past two years she has taught the Globaloria curriculum, a creation of the New York City-based ed-tech nonprofit World Wide Workshop built around students participating in social networking and video game design. It's an effort to transform much more than the classroom vibe.
For the students in this computer-lab-turned-mini-software-company, who spend the entire course working individually or with partners developing a game that teaches an educational concept of their choosing, there's the critical thinking needed to understand and communicate to players what exactly is toughest to teach about a subject. There are also the transferable skills of proposal writing, storyboarding, AdobeScript software coding, informational blogging, and presentation of progress reports, as students follow a development plan similar to those in the commercial gaming industry through tools available through their account on Globaloria's wiki site.
For the 550-student school and its rural 4,200-student Randolph County school district, where 70 percent of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, there's a window to the world through communication with professional game reviewers and Globaloria students across the nation. (The district has also established Globaloria programs at Elkins High School, Elkins Middle School, and the Randolph Technical Center.)
And for a community where the economy hinges on retail sales and tourism, there's the hope that those tools and that window may allow the best students to find local work in large numbers for the first time since nearby Elkins' railway and mining industries faded after World War II.
"There are a bunch of kids here who in a couple years can start a company," says Idit H. Caperton, the founder and president of World Wide Workshop, during a visit to Elkins, where the Randolph Technical Center piloted Globaloria way back in 2007.
"I believe there is talent everywhere," she says. "And I think if we cultivate that, you will see some stars coming out of this state."
In School or After School?
The specialization that often occurs in groups of students that design games—when they split the tasks of coding, graphic artistry, and concept design, for example—and the resulting communication lessons are becoming more widely recognized by mainstream educators. On one level, the concept of student game design belongs to the increasingly popular strategy of project-based learning.
But even within the far narrower sliver of advocates pushing for educational gaming, there's a lack of consensus about whether the place to push student game design is in schools themselves, in after-school programs in schools or community centers, or in students' homes.
Globaloria programs, in California, Florida, Texas, and West Virginia, live mostly within the formal education system. The AMD Foundation, the philanthropic wing of the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based semiconductor maker AMD, has reached most students in its Changing the Game initiative in after-school programs, however.
Tristan Miller, 6th grade
—Matt Roth for Digital Directions
Tristan Miller was one of the students and teachers at Tygarts Valley Middle School in Randolph County, W.Va., featured in a special collection of photos taken for this Education Week Digital Directions story. To see the photos and an read explanation of the shoot from photographer Matt Roth, see this Full Frame blog post.
Since its launch in 2008, the AMD initiative has funded work with Globaloria, the social-gaming website Gamestar Mechanic, and other platforms, and through work with a couple dozen partner organizations, has reached more than 99 percent of its 75,000 participating students outside formal educational settings, according to Allyson Peerman, the foundation's president.
And Alan Gershenfeld, the founder and president of the New York City-based E-Line Media company that is a co-publisher of Gamestar Mechanic, says his platform, which is geared for ages younger than Globaloria's target group and uses templates rather than original code to create games, is designed to avoid formal procurement methods.
"The curriculum is chunkable, so you can use it for a one-week program, an after-school program, as a full-semester or year course," says Gershenfeld, who says Gamestar Mechanic aims to take hold through individual teachers, not administrators. As such, the website features a free basic level that any teacher—or even student—can access, and a more elaborate for-pay model.
"We spent close to a year reworking the product for a bottom-up school distribution channel," adds Gershenfeld. "We kept hearing from teachers, 'Don't let this product die.' "
Caperton insists, though, that focusing on the formal education system is critical. No other pathway allows for as much scalability or access for the underserved students most in need of such a program, she says.
"Look at this place—it's very rural," Caperton says after a meeting in Elkins. "In this case, if you don't provide it in the public school, it's like food for many of them. You're not going to get that nutrition your brain needs."
Overcoming Obstacles
But with a model that departs so radically from the traditional classroom, winning over enough teachers to train to be competent instructors in the Globaloria curriculum is an obstacle, and getting students interested in something so unusual can also be daunting.
That's perhaps why the model at Tygarts Valley Middle and High School has seen slow growth, with Diane White teaching the first high school game-design course in the 2010-11 school year, and Mollie Ferguson and Melissa Walter teaching middle school courses beginning this past school year. White also teaches business courses; Ferguson, science; and Walter, English/language arts.
About 20 high school students signed up for the course as an elective this school year, although White says it's rare that they have much real concept of the course's nature. She points to Kasey Meadows' former class partner, who she says quickly felt overwhelmed and dropped the course, and to Meadows, who briefly left the course after getting frustrated by a coding error, before being persuaded to return.
"It's actually not that bad once you get the hang of it," Meadows says.
Students who struggle in game design may become more stressed than those who struggle in other courses, White says, because the number of students and teachers capable of helping on tasks like writing code for AdobeFlash Player is small. Even after summer professional development that requires teachers to make their own Globaloria game, most times students will create games above and beyond teachers' coding proficiency, White says.
"There are days when some students don't accomplish anything, and you leave here frustrated and devastated because you've worked for 90 minutes, and it's like one step forward, two steps back," concedes White.
But there is value in the adversity, she adds. "I think it teaches them determination, and that they have to have a good work ethic," White says. "And they know that they can't give up."
Meanwhile, Principal Steve Wamsley says he and teachers targeted more-advanced students to ensure that Ferguson's and Walter's first middle school courses went as smoothly as possible. As the program expands, however, he envisions offering game design courses to students of all levels.
"Next year, we're going to slide it down to the sixth grade, ... and then in the eighth grade, they're going to be able to take it as a high school credit," Wamsley says. "Kids who may have failed a year of school or have been held back somewhere in middle school, they can pick up some high school credit, which will increase the likelihood that they are going to graduate."
For middle school students who are weathering major life transitions, the intricacies of coding, blogging, and collaboration can be trying at times.
"We [share] so much, we make so many videos, and so many blogs and [postings on] our wikis," says 8th grader Leenette Fincham during Ferguson's second-period class. "We talk about the class, and we talk to other classes."
But, she adds, "it was either this, or gym. And I don't like gym."
Gaming and Assessment
State standards and staffing realities most likely mean Globaloria courses will remain electives at Tygarts Valley, rather than become woven within core academics. And funding is also a concern.
While there are plans for expansion, Wamsley says that, as of March, the budget for game-design courses had not yet been assured for the 2012-13 school year. The cost of Globaloria, including professional development, is roughly $20,000 per school, according to Caperton of World Wide Workshop, and Wamsley says it is partially funded through a county tax levy that contributes $45,000 yearly to the school. That levy will continue next year, Wamsley says.
But Caperton says she thinks much more broadly. When she first pitched the Globaloria idea to then-Gov. Joe Manchin, a Democrat, she envisioned penetration throughout every district in West Virginia. And while praising West Virginia for taking a chance on the program, she in the same breath makes sure to promote newer programs like the East Austin College Prep Academy, in the Texas capital, where all 320 students are game creators.
At the grades 6-8 charter school, which has plans to expand to 5th and 9th grade next year and eventually stretch across all 12 grades and kindergarten, Globaloria is linked closely with assessment.
In 6th grade, students there choose the topics for their educational games based on weaknesses they show in the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills math entry exams. In 7th grade, they integrate a math concept into a game focused on a social issue, and in the 8th grade, they can choose to create a game pertaining to either math or social studies.
The Austin school's enrollment is 85 percent Hispanic and 40 percent English-language-learner. Principal Marisol Rocha says the program's most profound impact has been on native Spanish-speakers.
"When they were in those classes and doing blogging, they were free to write" without judgment, Rocha says of students in Globaloria. "When they have a computer in front of them, it's like a completely different world for them."
Seventh grade instructor Teresa Valdez, who was hired before the 2010-11 school year to teach 7th grade game design, says for teachers who may only teach game design, a cross-curricular background helps. Valdez previously taught 5th grade bilingual education in an enclosed classroom, meaning she taught her students their entire core curriculum in language arts, science, social studies, and mathematics.
And after teaching a computer-less course centered around students' conception and creation of board and strategy games, Valdez says it's possible to teach most of the same principles pushed by Globaloria's curriculum without technology tools. But with digital tools come an additional, healthy pressure.
"If you're doing something [educational] that's not electronic, they really have a lot of experience doing that," Valdez says. "When you throw them into technology, it's like you're putting them out into the desert, and they have to depend on each other a whole lot more."

Not Working Properly
UPDATE 8Jul2010 6:50pm: Comments are working!!
I've noticed that my own comments to my serpentine post are not showing up on the post, although I'm getting email notifications about them (I've posted 3 or 4 that I can't see). The email notifications give me the content of my comments, so I know I made them!
I've also noticed this on at least one other blog I commented on (Geotripper); my comment didn't show up, or at least I can't see it.
And at least one other Blogger blog today isn't showing a particular comment if you click on the blog post heading, and only shows the comment if you click on comments directly. (This seems to work for one of my comments on my serpentine post, also, but not for 3 others that I've made so far.)
The point of this little post: If you think your comments aren't getting through, please send me an email (not that I'll be able to post the comment for you, but at least I'll know what you've said and can reply by email). It's likely that I'll see your comments in my email notifications from Blogger, but I'm not sure about that.
Also, I'll be on the road and don't have time this morning to set up a "Something's Not Working" complaint at Blogger/Google. I've searched their help forums; so far there aren't any answers, and there may be 1 or 2 people awaiting solutions to the same or similar problems. And it may be a Known Issue; they seem to have a lot of Outstanding Known Issues.
UPDATE 6July2010 9:00am: At least one of my comments not using my Blogger profile but using name/URL is readable to me if I click directly on comments rather than on the post title. It also has shown up on my comment widget. So far, a second name/URL comment of mine hasn't. So something is quite erratic.
UPDATE 6July2010 9:24am: All the comments may now be suddenly showing up, all at once. Don't know if it's fixed completely. Time will tell.
7 comments:

MU Uses $2.5 Million to Launch New Online Programs
Related Story
COLUMBIA - A $2.5 million investment into the University of Missouri's online program will launch 16 new degree programs. MU says it is responding to new demand for online classes in the state and throughout the country. The program currently has about 66 programs and the new undergraduate, graduate, certificate, and doctorate programs will bring the number to nearly 90.
The money has been collecting in a reserve fund from online tuition the past two decades years. Jim Spain, interim vice provost for e-learning, said they have not yet calculated how long it will take for the new programs to pay out the investment.
"The tuition is the same as regular MU courses, just no extra fees and living expenses," said Spain.
New online programs are a trend in education. MU currently has 9,000 students registered in online programs, 2,000 of those seeking degrees. That includes 48 of the 50 states and 100 of the 114 counties in Missouri.
"One-third of all higher education students in the United States last year took an online course," said Daniel Craig from the College of Education."
Spain said MU's online program has experienced much growth within the last 14 years. Among the programs, the university is also adding 25 new undergraduate online courses that will allow students to take classes with no transfer credit, a new option.
Within the next few years Spain and Craig believe technology will become a larger part of higher education.

Fake ID Reviews - Trusted source for buying scannable fake novelty licenses!
Home Page | Fake ID Reviews | Fake Diploma Reviews | Online Barcode Reader
MUST READS: Guide To Buying Fake ID | Guide To Using Fake ID | Guide To Buying Fake Diplomas | Guide To Using Fake Diplomas
Before you buy a fake id, reading my id
site reviews could make the difference between getting the fake id you
want or getting ripped off by a fake id site! I now only list proven,
good novelty id sites. If the fake id site is not listed on my
review board, then be careful. I am always looking for new vendor sites
where you can buy fake ids. The low quality novelty id websites, or
known fake id scam websites, are what I leave out of my listings. Just
because the novelty id site is not listed does not mean its a legitimate
place to buy fake ids. When a fake id seller is not listed here, it is
almost certain to be a scam or junk quality novelty id.
Do not pay for fake id with Bitcoin, if you are in America. New warning you should read.
Avoid fake id websites requesting payment by reload cards. Reload cards are not meant to be for buying items online. It is a preferred method for US based scams, as the reload only works to credit US registered credit cards, which are usually registered under customers who have attempted to order. The people who have emailed these sites said no product is delivered, and the scammer even attempts to steal your identity and credit.
The Youtube id reviews posing as satisfied customers with their license details covered up are simply bogus fake id reviews made by the owner of the fake id website using a real id, and pretending to be the customer who received it. Do NOT fall for it!
Never buy fake id from sites located in the USA or Canada, they make novelty id NOT fake id, a very BIG difference. By law (research it yourself), if they made anything that even resembles a cloned, real id they would have to put a disclaimer in permanent red ink on it. They hide this fact in the next warning below.
Never buy from a fake id site that makes you sign or agree to any disclaimer. It means they sell novelty junk and not fake id.

Some time ago, I ordered from several fake id sites trying to get a decent fake ID to go clubbin'. My experience was, to say the least, very disappointing. I was stupid and bought from a fake id site in the USA that accepted money orders thinking it was safer. I got a useless id that did not look real, even though the pictures on their site of fake id looked real.
Thinking back on it ,what legit fake id site could be located in the USA or Canada? After all they are selling fake ids and have to keep their location safe from being shutdown. I learned the hard way that these US novelty sites are always guaranteed rip-offs! What you see is not what you will get!
After ordering from 3 sites in Canada and USA, and getting nothing but useless ids at that point, I chose to create this novelty id site to get reviews and wait to see if there were any good fake ID sellers to buy from. Thanks to the outstanding response, I finally got the fake id I was looking for, along with putting together, what I feel, is a very comprehensive list of good fake id suppliers and where to buy novelty id.
I have now added diploma sites, since so many of you emailed me about them. I do not endorse any fake id or diploma suppliers.
This site is for informational purposes only, so do not email me where to buy fake id or what site I buy novelty id from. All I ask is that when you order from a novelty id source, please give me your input on the quality of the fake id you receive. It takes 2 minutes to send me an email about your novelty id, so that I may continue to give others what I did not have. I am offering you the TRUTH on where to buy fake id! If you have been scammed, have an experience about another site not listed or about one that is, good, bad, or ugly, email me.
I've been running this site for a while now, and the few hundred dollars I lost trying to get my first novelty id doesn't really keep me motivated like it did in the beginning. If you would like to help run this site, know about fake id, and keep it updated, I would like to hear from you. WE NEED TO KEEP IT REAL, and continue to be the one source for truthful and updated information on novelty id. I will NEVER turn my site into a joke like the other ones that look like mine and take money for their novelty id reviews although they claim they do not. Just drop me an email, please, at webmaster at underground-review.com
