Bones is an American crime comedy-drama television series that premiered on the Fox network in the United States on September 13, 2005. The show is based on forensic anthropology and forensic archaeology, with each episode focusing on an FBI case file concerning the mystery behind human remains brought by FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth (David Boreanaz) to the forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan (Emily Deschanel). The rest of the main cast includes Michaela Conlin, T. J. Thyne, Eric Millegan, Tamara Taylor, Jonathan Adams, and John Francis Daley.
Created by Hart Hanson, the series is very loosely based on the life and writings of novelist and forensic anthropologist Kathy Reichs,[1] who also produces the show. Its title character, Temperance Brennan, is named after the protagonist of Reichs' crime novel series. Conversely, Dr. Brennan writes successful mystery novels based around a fictional (in the Bones universe) forensic anthropologist named Kathy Reichs. Bones is a joint production by Josephson Entertainment, Far Field Productions and 20th Century Fox Television.[2]
The series has completed airing its eighth season and has been renewed for a ninth season.[3]

Premise [edit]
The premise of the show is based on an alliance between forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan and FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth. Brennan is the central character and team leader of the fictional Jeffersonian Institute Forensic Sciences Department. The show revolves around solving Federal legal cases by examining the human remains of possible murder victims. Dr. Brennan and her team provide scientific expertise and Special Agent Booth provides FBI criminal investigation technique. In addition to the prospective murder cases featured in each episode the series explores the backgrounds and relationships of its recurrent characters. An important ongoing dynamic between Brennan and Booth is their disagreement about science and faith. Brennan argues for science, evidence, and atheism. Booth argues for faith, God, and the unproven. The series is also known for its dark comedic undertones to, in essence, lighten the gravity of the show's intense subject matter.
Cast and characters [edit]
Main cast [edit]
- Emily Deschanel as Dr. Temperance "Bones" Brennan: a forensic anthropologist working at the renowned Jeffersonian Institute located in Washington, D.C. She is an empiricist and author of crime fiction based on her experiences. Her lack of social skills provides most of the show's lighthearted humor, primarily through her catchphrase, "I don't know what that means", whenever a pop culture reference is introduced into conversation. She and Booth begin a relationship near the end of season six, and in season seven, they live together with their daughter.
- David Boreanaz as Seeley Booth: Brennan aids FBI Special Agent Seeley Booth in his investigations involving human remains that cannot be identified without Brennan's skills in forensic anthropology. Booth is often used to provide a layman's translation of the scientific jargon-filled dialog. He gives Brennan her nickname, "Bones", which she starts out hating, but comes to accept it. Despite having no training in criminology, he is known for his ability to read people's behavior and cues, a quality unknown to Brennan. He is a former U.S. Army Ranger and Special Forces sniper. He has a son from a previous relationship, Parker, and a brother, Jared. He also has a daughter with Brennan.
- Michaela Conlin as Angela Montenegro: a forensic artist at the Jeffersonian Institute and Dr. Brennan's best friend. Angela is Dr. Brennan's team specialist in craniofacial reconstruction—helping to determine what their victims looked like before death to help determine their identity—and can generate holograms using her three-dimensional graphics program (The Angelator and later The Angelatron) to simulate various virtual scenarios of a crime to help determine cause of death. She is open, friendly, and caring and constantly tries to draw Dr. Brennan out of the lab. Angela is the daughter of Billy Gibbons, guitarist of ZZ Top, starring as himself.[4] In season five, she marries Jack Hodgins, and she gives birth to their son in season six.
- T. J. Thyne as Dr. Jack Hodgins: an entomologist who is also an expert on spores and minerals but whose hobby is conspiracy theories. He helps teach Zack how to be socially normal. His family is extremely wealthy and are major sponsors of the Jeffersonian; however, Hodgins wishes for this status to remain concealed from his bosses because he does not want to be seen as a superior (it eventually came out during an investigation, although nobody has allowed it to significantly impact their relationships with him). In season five, he marries Angela Montenegro, and she gives birth to their son in season six.
- Eric Millegan as Dr. Zack Addy (Seasons 1–3; guest star, seasons 4–5): introduced as Dr. Brennan's graduate student and assistant at the Jeffersonian Institute at the start of the series. In the second season, he receives his doctorate in Forensic Anthropology and Mechanical Engineering and becomes a professional forensic anthropologist. Although well-meaning, helpful, and friendly, when a situation calls for social interaction or intuition, he is often lost. He is also Hodgins' best friend and lives in the upper part of Hodgins' garage. Zack was removed from his position on Dr. Brennan's team in the third season finale, "The Pain in the Heart", where he was revealed to be the serial killer's apprentice, and is currently residing in an asylum. However, it has since been determined that he is not as "crazy" as was initially assumed. Zack set up his diagnosis so that he would go to the asylum, as he felt he would do poorly in prison. Zack is also known as "Zacharoni" and "Z-Man", and a recurring element in the show involved Zack and Hodgins amicably competing to be "King of the Lab". In the episode "The Pain in the Heart", Dr. Saroyan's trophy recognizing Zack as "King of the Lab" is revealed.
- Jonathan Adams as Dr. Daniel Goodman (Season 1): a former archaeologist turned administrator, who is also the director of the Jeffersonian Institute. He is a loving husband and father to a pair of five-year-old twin girls. His way of working leads Hodgins to think of him as subjective, long winded, and lacking the qualities of a pure scientist, although the antagonism between the two develops into a friendly rivalry as the series progresses. He has not made any appearances beyond the first season. As of episode 23, "The Titan on the Tracks", he is said to be on a sabbatical.
- Tamara Taylor as Dr. Camille Saroyan (Season 2–present): is the head of the Forensic Division at Jeffersonian Institute and a pathologist. She was born in The Bronx and was a coroner in New York City. At first, she and Dr. Brennan have an uneasy working relationship. Dr. Saroyan had a romantic relationship with Booth prior to her joining the Jeffersonian and a brief relationship during the show. Since season four, she has had a teenage adopted daughter, Michelle, because of her prior relationship with Michelle's murdered father.
- John Francis Daley as Dr. Lance Sweets (Season 3–present): a psychologist assigned to Booth and Brennan after Booth arrests her father. He works as a psychologist for the FBI and as a psychoanalyst for the team at the Jeffersonian. Dr. Sweets replaced Dr. Gordon Wyatt (Stephen Fry) who had formerly been the FBI psychologist but who retired in order to pursue a career as a chef.
Recurring cast [edit]
- Patricia Belcher as Caroline Julian (Season 1–present): Caroline is the acerbic, witty, and often meddlesome Prosecutor from the U.S. Attorney's Office. She is a friend of Booth's and is always willing, if not eager, to help him and his partner in their cases.
- Billy Gibbons as Angela's Dad (Season 1–present): The musician from ZZ Top plays a fictionalized character of himself. His fictionalized character of self includes being the father of Angela Montenegro, of whom he is extremely protective.
- Ryan O'Neal as Matthew Brennan (Season 2–present): Max Keenan, aka Matthew Brennan, is the biological father of Russ and Temperance Brennan. A known criminal involved with gangs in the '70s, he and his wife changed identities to lead an honest life with their children. In the second season, Booth arrests Max on murder charges and he is tried in season three, where the jury finds him innocent on all counts and is released, and is finally given the opportunity to reconnect with his children.
- Eugene Byrd as Dr. Clark Edison (Season 3–present): He is the most serious and professional of the Jeffersonian interns, and the most organized. At the beginning of season eight, Cam hires Clark as a forensic anthropologist, to focus on archaeological work.
- Michael Grant Terry as Wendell Bray (Season 4–present): He is Dr. Brennan's top scholarship intern. He dates Angela briefly during season five.
- Carla Gallo as Daisy Wick (Season 4–present): Daisy is upbeat and eager, often annoying the other Jeffersonian workers. She frequently has an on-again, off-again relationship with Lance Sweets.
- Joel David Moore as Colin Fisher (Season 4–present): Fisher suffers from depression and has a very dark sense of humor. He sometimes spends time at mental health facilities for treatment.
- Pej Vahdat as Arastoo Vaziri (Season 4–present): Arastoo starts out by having a fake Iranian accent, so he does not have to constantly explain his Islamic beliefs, but later drops the accent. In season eight, he begins dating Cam.
- Ryan Cartwright as Vincent Nigel-Murray (Seasons 4–6): Vincent is an Englishman and a graduate of the University of Leeds, and has a habit of reciting trivia while working. In season six, he is shot in the chest by sniper Jacob Brodsky, which led directly to his death. Hodgins and Angela name their son after him.
- Luke Kleintank as Finn Abernathy (Season 7–present): Finn is the youngest intern and incredibly smart. He is from Kentucky, and has a dark past, including a criminal record and he was accused of killing his step-father. His background sometimes adds tension between himself and the other characters. He is dating Cam's daughter Michelle.
Production [edit]
Conception [edit]
The concept of Bones was developed during the latter part of the pitching season of 2004 when 20th Century Fox approached series creator Hart Hanson with an idea for a forensics show. Hanson was asked to meet with executive producer Barry Josephson, who had purchased the rights to produce a documentary on the forensic anthropologist and author Kathy Reichs. Although Hanson was reluctant about being involved in making a police procedural, he signed on and wrote the pilot episode after having an intensive meeting with Josephson about the show.[5] As the show is based on the works of Reichs, the writers constantly involve her in the process of producing the episodes' storylines. Although the show's main character is also loosely based on Reichs, producers decided to name her Temperance Brennan, after the character in Reichs' novels;[1] Reichs has stated that she views the show as somewhat of a prequel to her novels, with the TV show's Temperance Brennan as a younger version of the novels' Temperance Brennan.[6]
In order to make Bones a unique crime drama in the midst of the multiple procedural dramas that already populated network television like the Law & Order and CSI franchises, Hanson decided to infuse the show with as much dark humor and character development as possible.[7] Another element conceived for the show was the "Angelator", a holographic projector that provides a way to replace the flashbacks often used by other procedural shows. In addition to their expositional purposes, the holographic images, which are created by visual effects, brought a unique visual style to the show that the producers were looking for.[8]
Casting [edit]
David Boreanaz was the first actor to be cast in Bones. Series creator Hart Hanson described the actors who had auditioned for the role of Seeley Booth as "pretty boy waifs" and immediately responded when the head of the studio, Dana Walden, suggested Boreanaz for the role.[1] Boreanaz was offered the role but was unenthusiastic about getting involved after a difficult meeting with executive producers Barry Josephson and Hart Hanson, even though he thought the script was well written. However, after the producers contacted him again to convince him to accept the role, Boreanaz agreed to sign on and was cast as Seeley Booth.[8]
Emily Deschanel was cast in the role of Temperance Brennan just before production began on the Bones pilot.[1] After Deschanel finished the film Glory Road, the film's producer Jerry Bruckheimer recommended that she audition for Bones.[9] Deschanel impressed Hart Hanson at her audition with her assertiveness. In a tense moment in the audition scene, David Boreanaz stepped closer to Deschanel. Deschanel held her ground rather than retreating. Hanson remarked that, in such a situation, "90% of actors would take a step back".[10] Deschanel was subsequently cast in the role.
Beginning with Season 4, Zack Addy (played by Eric Millegan) was replaced by a succession of lab assistants: Wendell Bray (Michael Grant Terry), Colin Fisher (Joel Moore), Vincent Nigel-Murray (Ryan Cartwright), Arastoo Vaziri (Pej Vahdat), Clark Edison (Eugene Byrd) and Daisy Wick (Carla Gallo). One—Scott Starett (played by Michael Badalucco, formerly of The Practice)—is much older than the typical grad student.[11] Marisa Coughlan guest-starred in a few mid-season episodes as FBI agent Payton Perotta, who was brought to the Jeffersonian as a temporary substitute for Booth when he was incapacitated.[12]
Filming [edit]
Most of Bones is filmed in Los Angeles, California, despite the fact that the show is mainly set in Washington, D.C., where the fictional Jeffersonian Institute is located. The external shots are of the Natural History Museum in Los Angeles. The interiors of the Jeffersonian Institute were specially built on a large sound stage at the 20th Century Fox lot in Century City, Los Angeles, California.[13] The two-part fourth season premiere was filmed on location in London, United Kingdom.[14]
Music [edit]
The soundtrack album titled Bones: Original Television Soundtrack, produced by Maria Alonte McCoy and Billy Gottlieb, was released in 2008. It contains 13 songs recorded by popular artists for the show.[15]
Broadcast and release [edit]
Episodes [edit]
A consistent naming of the episodes occurs. Almost every episode title alliteratively alludes to how the victim is discovered in said episode, like "The Critic in the Cabernet" and "The Dwarf in the Dirt", or to the main plot device of the episode, like "The Hero in the Hold" and "The Change in the Game".

The series premiere of Bones attracted an average of 10.8 million viewers with 6.7% household share and 11% household rating. Bones finished first among the 18-to-49-year-old demographic and in total viewers in its Tuesday 8:00 pm ET timeslot.[23] New York described the show as "the best drama of the new network season" and a "sexed-up variation of all the CSIs".[24] Regarding the show's procedural structure, Entertainment Weekly notes that Bones has a "pretty standard Crossing Jordan/CSI-style framework" but holds up because of the chemistry between the two lead characters; "that old Sam-and-Diane, Maddie-and-David, Mulder-and-Scully opposites-attract stuff never feels standard when it's done right."[25]
Following the broadcast of the series' third episode, Fox ordered a full season of Bones.[26] It was renewed for a second season after its strong performance in ratings in the timeslot following American Idol and on its own without the American Idol's lead-in audience.[27] Overall, the first season of Bones ranked 60th in viewership among prime-time shows and 53rd among the 18 to 49 year old demographic, with a seasonal average of 8.9 million viewers.[16]
The second season premiere attracted 8.61 million viewers in its Wednesday 8:00 pm timeslot, finishing second among the 18 to 49 years old demographic and first in total viewership with 6.7% household rating and 11% household share.[28] As a lead-in for American Idol, the second season finale of Bones obtained 10.88 million viewers with 3.5% household rating and 11% household share. It tied first in viewership among the 18 to 49 years old demographic with The Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular on CBS.[29] In the 2006–07 television season, Bones improved its ranking to 50th place in viewership among prime-time shows with 9.4 million viewers and was ranked 51st among the 18 to 49 year old demographic. The show improved its ranking during its third season, placing 51st overall. However, its overall viewership was down from the previous season, averaging 8.9 million, the same as in the first season. Viewership began to steadily increase with its fourth season.
Broadcast history [edit]
Bones premiered on September 13, 2005 on the Fox network and was broadcast weekly in the Tuesday 8:00 pm ET timeslot before it was moved to the Wednesday 8:00 pm ET timeslot in 2006. The first season finished on May 17, 2006 with a total of 22 episodes.
The second season premiered on the Fox network on August 30, 2006 and retained its Wednesday 8:00 pm ET timeslot. The second season finale was aired on May 16, 2007, ending its second season with 21 episodes. One episode, "Player Under Pressure", was left unaired, which was originally scheduled to be broadcast as the second season's 19th episode but was pulled by the Fox network in the United States after the Virginia Tech massacre. The plot involved the discovery of the human remains of a college athlete,[30] and eventually aired on April 21, 2008 as a part of the third season.
The third season premiered on September 25, 2007 in its original premiere timeslot, Tuesday 8:00 pm ET. The show went on hiatus on November 27, 2007 because of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike and returned on April 14, 2008 in the Monday 8:00 pm ET timeslot.[31] The shortened third season finished on May 19, 2008 with a total of 15 episodes.
The fourth season premiered September 3, 2008 on the Fox network in the Wednesday 8:00 pm ET timeslot with a two-hour episode that was filmed on location in London.[32] Originally scheduled to return from hiatus on January 15, 2009, Bones instead resumed one week later because of preemption by President Bush's farewell address. As a result, two new episodes, "Double Trouble in the Panhandle" and "Fire in the Ice", were aired back-to-back on January 22, 2009, airing in a new timeslot, Thursday 8:00 pm ET. The fourth season finale aired May 14, 2009 with a total of 26 episodes.
The fifth season premiered September 17, 2009 on the Fox network and retained its Thursday 8:00 pm ET timeslot. It consisted of 22 episodes and ended on May 20, 2010.
Off-network syndication of Bones began the week of January 28, 2008, on TNT.[33]
On March 29, 2012, announcing the renewal for an eighth season, Kevin Reilly, Fox's Chairman of Entertainment, said, "Over the past seven seasons, Hart Hanson, Stephen Nathan and the incredible Bones cast and crew have redefined the traditional crime procedural with an irreverent and adventurous sensibility, and I'm really happy to have this distinctive fan-favorite on our schedule for another season."[34]
Online distribution [edit]
Fox has released free episodes of Bones and several other primetime series online for viewing on Netflix, Hulu, and its MySpace website, which is owned by the same parent company, News Corporation, that owns Fox. This began on October 3, 2006 but access is restricted to residents from the United States only.[35] Bones is also available on their official website via Fox On Demand. In Canada, recent episodes are available on the Global TV website, and seasons 1 to 7 are on Netflix.
Spin-off series [edit]
In October 2010, it was revealed that Fox was developing a potential spin-off series that would be built around a new recurring character that would be introduced in the sixth season. The potential spin-off series would also be created by Bones creator/executive producer Hart Hanson, and be based on The Locator series of two books written by Richard Greener. The character of Walter is described as an eccentric but amusing recluse in high demand for his ability to find anything. He is skeptical of everything—he suffered brain damage while overseas, which explains his constant paranoia and his being notorious for asking offensive, seemingly irrelevant questions to get to the truth.[36] Production on the episode was scheduled to begin in December 2010, but was delayed to early 2011 due to creative differences.
Creator Hart Hanson posted on Twitter (in a humorous manner) regarding the notes he got from the network, "I received studio notes on the Bones spin-off idea. They want it to be better. Unreasonable taskmasters. Impossible dreamers. Neo-platonists."[37] During Fox's TCA press tour, executive producer Stephen Nathan revealed production on the episode featuring The Finder began in February 2011, with the episode airing in April.
In the episode, Booth and Brennan travel to Key West, Florida, where the spin-off is said to take place. Nathan went on to say regarding the casting of character, "You want to find people you want to see every single week do one unique character. That's why when you have Hugh Laurie, who is essentially playing a very unlikable character, you love to see him. And that is a rare, rare quality to find. And the finder won't be an unlikable character, but because it is a unique character, it's difficult to find just the right person."[38] Geoff Stults was cast as the lead character with Michael Clarke Duncan and Saffron Burrows cast as the other two lead characters.[39][40][41] The three characters were introduced in episode 19 of the sixth season.
The Finder was picked up for the 2011–2012 season on May 10, 2011 with an order of 13 episodes.[42]
The Finder was canceled on May 9, 2012 and aired its final episode on May 11, 2012.
Effect [edit]
Critical response [edit]
Reviews for the pilot episode were mixed, and holds a Metacritic score of 55 out of 100, based on 29 critical reviews.[43] Subsequent seasons have received generally favorable reviews.[44][45][46]
USA Today comments that compared to other crime shows, the show "is built on a more traditional and solid foundation: the strength of its characters" and "what sets Tuesday's Bones premiere apart from the procedural pack are stars Emily Deschanel and David Boreanaz, as the season's most appealing new crime fighters."[47] On the other hand, Media Life Magazine says that while Bones has "an amazingly clever notion, brilliant even", its "execution doesn't match the conception" and based on its first episode, the show "fails to evolve into a gripping series. In fact, it quickly becomes so derivative of so much else on television—especially, strangely, X-Files—that one might even call it bone-headed."[48]
Accolades [edit]
Bones has received two Emmy nominations, for Outstanding Art Direction for a Single Camera Series for "The Hero in the Hold" at the 61st Primetime Emmy Awards and for Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Supporting Role for "The Twist in the Twister" at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards.[49]
Emily Deschanel was nominated for a 2006 Satellite Award for Best Actress – Television Series Drama.
The series has also won two Genesis Awards for the episodes "The Woman in Limbo" and "The Tough Man in the Tender Chicken" for raising awareness on the issues of pig slaughtering and industrial chicken farms, while the episode "The Finger in the Nest" received a nomination.
Bones was nominated for two awards at the 37th People's Choice Awards, for Favorite TV Crime Drama and Emily Deschanel for Favorite TV Crime Fighter.[50] The series received three nominations at the 38th People's Choice Awards, for Favorite TV Crime Drama, David Boreanaz for Favorite TV Drama Actor and Emily Deschanel for Favorite TV Drama Actress.[51]
Other media [edit]
Aside from the television broadcast of Bones, its characters and concepts have also been produced in print, on the internet and in short videos for mobile phones.
Currently, there are two print books related to the series, one a novel and the other an official guide. Buried Deep (ISBN 978-1-4165-2461-8), written by Max Allan Collins, was published by Pocket Star on February 28, 2006. The book is based on the characters in the television series rather than the characters created by Kathy Reichs, who had inspired the concept of Bones. Its plot focuses on Dr. Temperance Brennan and Special Agent Seeley Booth's investigation into the skeletal remains left on the steps of a federal building and its connection with a Chicago mob family. Bones: The Official Companion (ISBN 978-1-84576-539-2) is written by Paul Ruditis and published by Titan Books, released on October 16, 2007. The book includes cast and crew interviews, episode guides and a background detail on real-life forensics.[52]
Fox has made extensive use of the internet to promote Bones. Prior to the broadcast of the second season episode "The Glowing Bones in the Old Stone House", profiles of the characters involved in the episode were put up on their own MySpace web page. The blog entries of the characters were created to give insight into the potential suspects to be featured in the episode. In the episode, Brennan and her team uses clues from these web pages, which the viewers can also access.[53]
A spin-off series consisting of 26 two-minute episodes, called Bones: Skeleton Crew, was produced by Fox and launched through a partnership with Sprint Nextel in conjunction with MasterCard's sponsorship. It was released to Sprint TV subscribers in November 2006 and released on the official website of Bones on December 4, 2006. The episodes do not feature the show's main cast; its plot revolves around three Jeffersonian Institute lab technicians who use their skills to solve a mystery.[54]
Bonus content was posted by Fox on Bones' official site during the third season, which include short videos featuring Booth and Brennan waiting to see Dr. Sweets.

FALLS VILLAGE >> Matt Harnett, the principal of Housatonic Valley Regional High School (HVRHS) in Falls Village, wants to take another step toward ensuring that all his students go on to become healthy, productive adults. The administrator approached the Region 1 Board of Education recently with the idea of using Breathalyzers before students will be admitted to functions such a school dances and proms.
The policy committee of the board for the six-town rural school district will look into amending the school's alcohol and drug policy to incorporate a measure that is already in place in other districts in Litchfield County but also criticized by the Connecticut chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union for treating "everyone as a suspect."
If the policy is put in place, HVRHS would join a growing group of Connecticut schools to use such technology. Harnett said this week in a phone interview that he had contacted a number of schools in the Berkshire League, the athletic league in which Housatonic competes, and "found four or five others that have this policy in place."
"When I asked the other schools about it, they asked if I would forward whatever I found out to them," he said, reflecting the universal concern school administrators feel about young people drinking, and drinking and driving.
"Kids were doing this stuff way back when," Harnett conceded, "but the way the world has evolved, things have changed. There is a huge burden to make sure our kids are secure, and we have to be able to do certain things if we are to keep them safe."
He said Housatonic already has a "zero tolerance" policy for alcohol or drugs on school property, but he also concedes that virtually any student in the school would know where to go to get illegal substances. He also said that attitudes have changed so much that most students do not consider marijuana or beer to be drugs.
Hartnett agreed with estimates that say drug and alcohol use is widespread among teens in the school district. "I think that is true," he said. "There is a lot of pressure on kids today and it never lets up. When we were young, we had pressure at school and then we went home and it was over. Now it never stops. Some of these kids use alcohol and drugs for the same reasons adults do—to lessen the sense of pressure."
They also succumb to peer pressure. "Doing these things is very socially acceptable," the principal said. "Kids are looking at it differently as the laws start to change and there is a very different attitude among kids about whether marijuana is a drug. I had a kid look me straight in the face and say marijuana and beer were not drugs. When did that change? For them, doing drugs is taking things like crystal meth or heroine."
Harnett said it will "be really interesting" to see where the legalization of marijuana in some states leads, but he is certain that in the short run he wants to protect the students under his charge. "I want to send a message of support to the kids, but I also want to deter this sort of behavior," he said. "We are the largest school district in the state in terms of geography, so our kids have to travel. I definitely do not want risky behavior to endanger them or others." Region 1 serves Canaan, Cornwall, Kent, Falls Village, Salisbury and Sharon in the state's Northwest Corner.
The principal said many schools in the state have preventive policies in place, including Gilbert School in Winsted and Regions 10 (Harwinton and Burlington) and 14 (Bethlehem and Woodbury). Continued...
Andrew O'Brien, principal of Nonnewaug High School in Woodbury, said his school already uses Breathalyzers to screen students entering dances.
"They know about it and accept it," he said.
Despite the fact that some in the Region 1 district have predicted that students won't come to school functions if they are to be subjected to Breathalyzer tests, O'Brien said it has not been a deterrent at Nonnewaug. He reported that 400 students attended one recent dance.
Students are strictly monitored at school events in Woodbury. "They are tested as they come in," said O'Brien, "and then if they want to leave the dance to go to their cars, they go with a chaperone. The girls' feet always hurt and they will have flip-flops in their cars. If it is a hot night and they are standing around outside, a staff member will be there with them. When they leave the dance, they go on their way."
O'Brien said parents are sent notices that the Breathalyzer tests will be administered. This is an important distinction, according to an article published in the National School Boards Association newsletter, "Inside School Law." In the article, Thomas E. Wheeler II of the Indiana law firm Locke Reynolds and staff attorney Julie E. Lewis contend that a Breathalyzer test is like urinalysis, and as such is covered by the Fourth Amendment, which prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures by public school officials. During the school day, school officials need probable cause for a search and a warrant (or circumstances justifying a warrantless search).
But, the lawyers argue, in the case of a school dance, suspicionless drug testing of students is permissible because extracurricular activities are voluntary and attendance implies consent. Thus, it can be argued that students agree to a Breathalyzer test in exchange for admittance.
Still, schools must be careful in administering the tests, as there could be legal repercussions. Harnett said he envisions students found to be intoxicated being taken to a school office to await a parent or guardian to take them home. Beyond this, there would be disciplinary action by the school and possible notification of the police.
Wheeler and Lewis wrote there could be "significant liability" for a school if the Breathalyzer produces a false-positive test result.
Harnett said he had gotten information from Shipman and Goodwin, a law firm recognized for expertise in the realm of education, that did not indicate legal difficulties in promulgating such a policy. "The community loves the idea," he added.
Somewhat less enthusiastic was Connecticut ACLU staff attorney David McGuire. "We have a definite position on blanket testing," he said. "As an organization, we understand the seriousness of the problem, but when schools have blanket Breathalyzer policies it treats everyone as a suspect. Our position is that it is only appropriate when there is reasonable suspicion that a student is impaired. If a teacher can smell alcohol or if a student is behaving erratically—then we would not take issue with it." Continued...
Harnett is not impressed with the argument that students will not come to school events if they are to be tested. "We would encourage them to come and participate, but to be chemical free," he said. "They can come and celebrate in a safe way. If we say come to dance if you have been drinking, what kind of message is that?
"I have had some feedback from the students—some kids say privately that it is a great thing, but publicly they say something else because they don't want to be seen as not being cool. Some have said no one will come to dances, but the majority of kids are fine with it. It has led to some great conversations—they get it."
Already, Harnett is planning for Project Graduation, an all-night party for the graduating class at the school next June. "It's a brand new idea here," he said. "It will be 100 percent drug and alcohol free. We are trying to be proactive, trying to get in front of anyone being hurt or killed."
He said he has been talking to the students about the event, which would provide food, beverages, entertainment, raffles and the like and that would end with a big breakfast in the morning. "It is starting to get a little buzz," he said.
He has just received a pledge of support from the Northwest Corner Prevention Group, an organization of service providers in the region that seeks to develop positive assets for youth. It will provide $3,000 to help fund the graduation celebration.
"Our goal is to ensure a safe, sober graduation night," he said. "Things will be happening all night and then we finish with breakfast and a drawing for the big door prize. Then at 7:30 or 8 off they go."

In four games played by the Lady Chargers, Lee has averaged 14.5 ppg and 10.25 apg. She had a 63.16 field goal percentage, making 24 of 38 baskets from the floor.
Lee is a transfer from East Georgia Technical College, where she played during the 2010-2011
season. While the first game of the GCAA season tipped off last Sunday at Georgia Highlands with the Central Georgia Technical College Cougars, the Lady Chargers had already racked up three previous wins in preseason play against Berry College, Wallace State College and Georgia Northwestern.
The Lady Chargers next play South Georgia Technical College in Americus. Brandan Harrell, the GHC women's coach, came to the college from SGTC, so the rivalry will be a poignant one. The next home game takes place on Monday, Nov. 26 at 5 p.m.

good towels, very absorbent
By Thelma

About Me Value Oriented
Comments about SCA� Tork� 1-Ply Multi-Fold Towels; White, 4,000 Sheets/Case, 16 Packs/Case:
they are very absorbant so you have to use less to dry your hands
Do the job, but...
By ECArtists
from Merced, CA
We had a similar problem to Teacher Tammy when loading the dispenser with more than one pack at a time. Because they are weak, the weight of the extra towels causes them to rip as they are pulled out one by one. As long as you only load one pack at a time, they're fine. These are a good deal for recycled towels in a decent quantity per case. Not a good idea for big spills, but to dry hands or wipe up drips, they're good.
One Sheet At A Time
By C. Barker
from St. Louis, MO
About Me Quality Oriented
This product is best liked due to the lack of waste. You get one sheet at at time, not a bundle. It is easy for children to use without bunching up. It is also absorbent for cleaning.
They're Just Fine!!

To the Preschool Review below - dispensers come in all shapes and sizes, as do Paper Towels. My guess is you just had the wrong size for your dispenser.I love these paper towels. They are small enough for single use. Not a lot of waste, and recycled too! Great for bathroom, where people just want to dry their hands - nothing fancy needed. Good buy!
sometimes get stuck
By teacher tammy
from Watsonville, CA
perhaps we were loading them incorrectly, but if I put more than one package in the dispenser, after every three or four towels one would get stuck, and we'd have to pry it out with a paperclip. This is very inconvenient in a preschool!

Digital Diversity
App developers and data centers lend the region a high-tech edge.
The art of story telling is providing some global fame for Louisiana's blossoming digital media sector.Moonbot Studios, an animation and storytelling company founded in Shreveport in 2009, has produced one of five animated short films nominated for this year's Academy Awards. The Oscar nomination is the latest on a long list of recognitions garnered by Moonbot's "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore," the company's first released animation project, which is also an iPad app.Moonbot formed in Shreveport, the home of children's book author and animator William Joyce. Joyce partnered with television and film producer Lampton Enochs, who became the company's managing director and works with design and special effects specialist Brandon Oldenburg, who serves as Moonbot's creative director. (Moonbot won the Oscar after this issue went to press, with both Joyce and Oldenburg singing the praises of their home base in Louisiana during their acceptance speech. -Ed.)
Moonbot is building its business based on apps for iPads and smartphones.
"The advent of the iPad has a pretty significant impact on our company," Enochs says. "We quickly went into production on an iPad app and since that time we have done four or five. We love working in the mobile field. It's opened up a lot of avenues for creativity and for business for us."
While the apps have been the vehicle for Moonbot's early success, Oldenburg says Moonbot is all about storytelling, and good storytelling translates to current and future media.
"One thing we pride ourselves on is that we put storytelling first," Oldenburg says. "App development is the flavor of the month, and there very likely could one day be a new medium that everyone moves toward. If for some reason the technology goes away, we have not placed our whole business model there. When something else comes along we will move toward that as long as we tell stories."
Moonbot is poised for further growth. Enochs says the company, which employs about 35, will likely grow to more than 50 by next year. He also believes the industry as a whole will continue to grow in the state.
"Louisiana has a really robust incentive program for the creative industries," Enochs says. "It started in 2003 with a film tax credit and has expanded. It's certainly been helpful for companies such as ours, which is just starting up. Louisiana Economic Development [LED] has provided a tremendous amount of support in getting our company started."
Oldenburg says Moonbot has been able to find graduates with good computer programming skills from Centenary College and LSU-Shreveport, but has turned to Florida's Ringling Brothers College of Art & Design when it seeks storytelling skills.
"Conceptual thinking is where we see room for growth, and we've gone out of state for that. That's where we turn to Ringling for that skill set. It's critical because we are a storytelling company."
New Orleans was not on Gameloft's original list of cities when its leaders embarked on a search for a new U.S. studio. Instead, they were looking at locales where the gaming industry is well established in states such as California, Washington and Texas.
Louisiana caught the Paris-based video game developer's eye during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco.
"While we were at GDC, the LED let us know about the tax credits available in Louisiana," says Dave Hogue, Gameloft's studio manager in New Orleans. "Basically, New Orleans was the last city we stopped at because we knew the economic argument worked. It was really all about checking out the area. We found that there is really a positive attitude here and the city is rebuilding."
Of initial concern was the potential for recruiting sufficient creative people for Gameloft's needs. Social media blasts and Internet job posts got the word out for the initial recruiting, and the response was overwhelming.
"We had around 1,500 people who applied," Hogue says. "Maybe half were qualified, and we quickly identified 15 for the core team. We had a financial analysis that said we were likely going to be profitable here, and we had this great location, so it made sense to move forward."
Gameloft's current digs are temporary, albeit with a nice view of the Superdome. Hogue expects to move to larger quarters in the city's Warehouse District within the next few months. The staff now stands at 25 and could grow to 50 by the end of the year.
"With the digital media tax credit, there are always going to be companies looking here to see if it makes sense," Hogue says. "What we found that is really beneficial to the gaming industry is that there is a well-entrenched movie production industry here."
Gameloft focuses on development of digitally downloadable games for iPads, iPhones and iPods and a wide variety of Android devices. More than half of the games released by the company last year focused on these high-growth devices.
Texas Racks Up
The data center boom in Texas shows no signs of abating, with major facilities sprouting up in or near the state's major cities.
One project involves a U.K. team whose previous endeavors included development of an offshore wind farm and natural gas project in the U.K. That project was developed under the name Eclipse Energy and was sold to the Swedish state-owned energy company Vattenfall. Members of Eclipse's management team came to Texas in 2009 and formed Baryonyx with plans to develop four wind farms, two of which will be offshore. Through a project called WindData, Baryonyx hopes to connect its renewable energy efforts to end users by marrying renewable energy projects to data centers.
"We decided to look at market segments such as data centers with big power requirements and do some creative pricing structures," says Graeme Walker, CFO of Baryonyx. "In renewable energy, you buy the power up front, and we can fix power costs on day one. That's where the real advantage is when you apply it to a market like data centers."
The first WindData project will be developed in Pflugerville, with the company investing $210 million over 10 years in a 600,000-sq.-ft. (55,740-sq.-m.) centerto be powered by energy supplied by Baryonyx wind farms.
WindData has long-range plans to develop a second data center in Abilene, which might be powered by on-site wind turbines.
Stream Data Centers is a speculative developer of data center space for corporate users. It is currently developing projects in Richardson and Houston.
"The reason for both projects is that we see strong demand for corporate or enterprise data center users who are outgrowing their current IT infrastructure," says Anthony Bolner, senior vice president with Stream Data Centers, a division of Dallas-based Stream Realty. "We see them migrating and consolidating their IT growth outside of their corporate facilities."
Bolner says Texas is unique in that it is served by the independent ERCOT power grid, which is seen nationally as reliable.
"Texas has always been considered to be a safe, stable location for data centers, and we expect that to continue. Considering the fact that the Texas economy is outpacing the U.S. economy, we see strong corporate growth here. When you see strong corporate growth, you almost always see IT growth, which translates into data center demand."
Stream offers multi-tenant data center space, but its target market is large corporate users who want to control their own infrastructure and have their own private data center space.
"The space we are developing is for larger, more sophisticated corporate users looking to place 100 to 200 racks or more," Bolner says.
Stream has developed 15 properties totaling 1.3 million sq. ft. (120,770-sq.-ft.) over the last 12 years. The new facilities under development are purpose-built structurally enhanced data centers, Bolner says.
"Everyone in the data center sector would list Dallas in particular as one of the top three or four data center markets in the country," Bolner says. "Dallas is considered a safe location, far removed from the majority of natural disasters like hurricanes or seismic activity. Dallas has a large, diverse economy and you will see demand here from all of the major business sectors. It obviously has a large airport that allows IT companies to get to Dallas quickly if they need to get to the data center for any reason. In addition, you have a strong tech sector in Austin, the government sector in San Antonio and large energy and health care centers in Houston."
The data center being developed in Houston is designed to withstand winds up to 146 mph.
"We are building the structure to be robust, away from any floodplain issues. And it will have long-term fuel storage in case of power outages," Bolner says.
Data Foundry, which began as an Internet service provider in San Antonio, is now a major developer of data centers. Its latest project, Texas 1, is a purpose-built, 250,000-sq.-ft. (2,322-sq.-m.) data center on the 40-acre (16-hectare) master-planned Data Ranch data center development near Austin's Bergstrom International Airport. The first phase opened last June. The facility has a 160-mph wind rating.
"We are centrally located to service large markets in Texas, but also companies from the east or west that are looking to diversify their infrastructure for disaster recovery," says Shane Menking, Data Foundry's president and CFO. Notwithstanding the wildfires that torched the region in 2011, he's confident in the area's risk profile. "We feel we are avoiding all the disaster risks by being in Austin, which is below Tornado Alley," says Menking.
Another active data center developer in Texas is CyrusOne, a subsidiary of Cincinnati Bell. It recently acquired property that it plans to develop into the largest data center facility in Texas and one of the largest in the United States. The 30-acre (12-hectare) parcel just north of Dallas has a 700,000-sq.-ft. (65,030-sq.-m.) structure that CyrusOne plans to develop into 400,000 sq. ft. (37,160 sq. m.) of raised floor data center space and 60,000 sq. ft. (5,574 sq. m.) of Class A office space. The building is going to be constructed with the goal of becoming certified as LEED-Platinum.
Marketer Going Digital
Over the past 43 years, Acxiom has grown from a small data processing company to a large global marketing specialist. The Little Rock, Ark.-based firm employs more than 6,000 globally and 2,700 in Arkansas, most of whom are in Conway where the company was founded.
Acxiom, the largest marketing company in the U.S., is now embarking on a project to expand its digital offerings. The first phase involves hiring 150 people, most of whom will be located in central Arkansas.
"We specialize in targeted marketing," says Tim McKenna, the company's director of staffing. "We do that with direct mail and email, and our big push going forward will be to address all the new data that is available with smartphones and social media. We will build solutions and products that will help companies manage that data for good marketing decisions."
Acxiom will be hiring software developers, software testers, project managers and product managers. McKenna says hiring technical workers in Arkansas can be a challenge because the market is strong.
"We have a great relationship with many local universities, and a lot of times we will hire interns with computer systems backgrounds and hire them full-time when they graduate. We have 60 active interns right now."
Oklahoma Gets Creative
Gov. Mary Fallin declared last November "State of Creativity" month in Oklahoma. Events included a Creativity Forum in Norman. One of the featured speakers was Matt Beckham, CEO of Quibids, a homegrown online auction company based in Oklahoma City. Beckham tells Site Selection that the state's creative economy needs to build a critical mass.
"The creative economy is definitely growing rapidly, but it's relatively new to the state," Beckham says. "Oklahoma is a work in progress."
Quibids, which launched in 2009 with six employees, is certainly one of the stars in the state's creative economy. By early 2012, employment had risen to nearly 160.
"It takes companies like Quibids to help put Oklahoma on the map," Beckham says. "It's an ongoing battle. Eventually, if Oklahoma has five to 10 sizeable technology companies, it will naturally gain some momentum."
Quibids is expanding globally, with initial emphasis on other English-speaking countries such as Canada, the U.K. and Australia.
Quibids is developing the concept of "gameification" of shopping, Beckham says.
"We have the implementation of the gaming element through our website. Games are won through auctions," he says. "During the next few years, we will continue to build out the concept of entertainment shopping."

Article Source: Data Center Knowledge
Author: Rich Miller
"Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT has acquired its first property, paying $28.9 million to buy a fully-leased data center in Richardson, Texas. The purchase of the 20,000 square foot facility in the Technology Business Campus – Phase II in the suburbs of Dallas was the first deal for Carter Validus, which was formed last year to invest in data centers and healthcare IT facilities…
Data centers are part of a broader strategy in which Carter Validus hopes to take advantage of opportunities created by health care reform and its pending impact on medical real estate and IT infrastructure.
The Richardson property was developed by Stream Realty, and marked the second recent sale of one of the company's data centers n the greater Dallas market. Last week a Stream Realty property in Plano was purchased by Lincoln Rackhouse."

For Pete's Sake! - The Sony Soap Opera Continues :: Posted by Sid Smith on Sun., Jan 29, 2012 My thanks to World Leader Symes for providing me with an update on the plight of singer-songwriter Pete Atkin and his attempts to get a major label to provide him with accounts. MEANWHILE, THE SONY SOAP OPERA CONTINUES Hey! I have now received some accounts from SonyBMG! Only for the Demon reissues (still nothing whatever for the See For Miles reissues), but still, thats something, right? Disappointingly, theyve applied a 25% container charge which is not in my contract. Theyve also based their royalty calculation on the dealer price, which is admittedly current usual practice. But my contract, however, specifies recommended retail price as the basis for my royalty, which effectively means theyve made a roughly 30% further unjustified reduction on what little I am owed. So Ive sent it back to them. Its scarcely credible that they havent had to deal with any number of elderly contracts like mine, so its hard to think they arent just trying it on, to see if Ill notice. Or maybe surely not? theyre just lazy and inefficient. (Any other suggestions welcome.) When you consider that were talking here about a very modest three-figure sum, it hardly seems worth their while to be so small-minded. To adapt the well-known schoolroom phrase Its their own time theyre wasting.
Keeling Rocks Out :: Posted by Sid Smith on Sun., Jan 29, 2012 Composer, and lately, singer-songwriter, Andrew Keeling has a new album due out soon.

@ 3pm WE MARCH
The four winds converge to MARCH and SHUTDOWN THE FINANCIAL DISTRICT
and to engage in A DISCIPLINED, MASS, NONVIOLENT, DIRECT ACTION.
We assemble to show our power, solidarity, and discipline as a people, celebrating the strength of workers, dreamers, and oppressed peoples everywhere. We march together as a presence and force of resistance outside of a political process that leaves no room for the voice of the people. This creative action is inclusive of all, and organized for everyone to empower struggle in the face of repression and facilitate a clear call for revolutionary accountability from the perpetrators of mass injustice in our communities.
Many of us who march militantly do so, above all, for the safety and protection of all people on this action. We anticipate three different zones forming organically, and encourage fully informed participation in the M1GS march.
This attracts anti-capitalists, anti-fascists and other more militant comrades of a revolutionary bent. We encourage affinity groups to work together in a show of disciplined and organized resistance. This is the zone that is predisposed to standing their ground against the police.
This zone typically caters to people who are in between red and green, who are conscience of police repression and direct or mass actions but recognize some element of risk and would like to be cautious of escalation.
This attracts individuals who prefer a quieter, safer environment. Some of these groups may include the undocumented, differently-abled, children, families or anyone not wanting to come into direct confrontation with the police.
These zones do not serve to limit any individual's actions but exist to facilitate a positive experience. In case the march is escalated by police repression, Pershing Square is considered a green zone for those who may feel uncomfortable.
Do not panic.
Do not talk to the police.
Do not intervene in the actions of others.
If you feel unsafe, move away.
Provocateurs and Police Agents will spread false information and attempt to escalate the situation. Remain calm, do not panic. Do not spread information that has not been verified.
Remember, in the face of the adversary, WE SHOW FULL SOLIDARITY.
