"Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise? It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise that he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life. He had such a knowledge of the dark side that he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying." -- Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the SithStar Wars: Darth Plagueis. Never before has an entry to the Expanded Universe been so highly anticipated. Episode III Revenge of the Sith captivated viewers with Chancellor Palpatine's recounting of the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise, a Sith Lord "so powerful and so wise that he was able to use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians to create life." After years of waiting and a rocky history, the legend has finally been revealed. As a longtime reader of the Star Wars Expanded Universe, I have found that Drew Karpyshyn's Darth Bane series provided a point of view unlike any other Star Wars novel. Karpyshyn did a masterful job showcasing the rise of Bane up through the moment the mantel of Dark Lord of the Sith is passed to his apprentice. As a result, I had a lot of preconceived notions going into Darth Plagueis. I'm happy to say that I have never been more pleasantly wrong! James Luceno has managed to bring forth one of the best stories I have ever read in the Star Wars mythos. Yes, one of the best. This book delivered on so many levels that I actually became giddy at times. The story is packed with references to other Expanded Universe works, both subtle and obvious. Everything from how Ronhar Kim meets and forges a relationship with Palpatine (Star Wars: Republic #64) to the plot of Jedi Council: Acts of War, the events with the Yinchorri, and aspects of Star Wars: Republic: The Devaronian Version, to name a few. It's an EU fan's dream come true, but the references don't seem forced. Luceno manages to touch upon and explain events without beating the reader over the head or confusing them. Those new to the Expanded Universe should have no trouble jumping into this book. Darth Plagueis opens with the death of the novel's namesake, the exact scene Palpatine described to Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. The prologue brings a certain philosophical depth I've not seen since The New Jedi Order: Traitor. Luceno gives readers a look at the galaxy through Palpatine's eyes as he sets forth as the sole Sith Lord in the aftermath of Plagueis' death. It then jumps decades earlier to a time when Plagueis himself was but the learner, studying under the tutelage of his Bith Master Darth Tenebrous. But when the enemies of Rugess Nome, Tenebrous' alter ego, attack, Plagueis seizes the moment and betrays his Master, claiming the mantle of Dark Lord for himself. As the life leaves Tenebrous' body, readers learn of Plagueis' fascination with midi-chlorians and the Will of the Force. The amount of Sith history and knowledge that Plagueis brings to the table is a real joy. The rest of Part One details Plagueis' search for a deeper understanding of the Force. Under the guise of Hego Damask, a powerful Muun, Plagueis begins to sow the seeds that will eventually lead to the revenge of the Sith and the fulfillment of the Sith "Grand Plan." With the assistance of his droid, 11-4D, Plagueis begins his searchfor the Sith knowledge lost by Darth Gravid. The most frightening aspect about Plagueis is not his power as a Sith, but his life as Magister Hego Damask. A rich and powerful Muun born for the sole purpose of furthering Tenebrous' Sith plan, Damask was the being responsible for financing Gardulla's podrace circuit on Tatooine, propelling Naboo and its plasma energy resources onto the galactic scene, and maneuvering important players into place. Damask's wheels-within-wheels manipulations rival those of Emperor Palpatine himself. The planet of Naboo plays a much larger role in galactic events than some fans were initially led to believe. The way Naboo factors into the Sith Grand Plan blew my mind in more ways than I can count. It not only altered my opinion of the saga, but it changed many of the ways I looked at the EU and Darth Sidious in particular. Luceno does an excellent job explaining how Naboo managed to transform itself—with the help of Demask—from a humble secluded planet into a major player in galactic politics. This is done, in part, thanks to insider information provided by a teenager so frustrated with his influential father that he would forsake his given name and turn against his family: Palpatine. Plagueis recognizes Palpatine's budding talents and slowly begins the process of turning him to the dark side. Palpatine's relationship with his father, Cosinga Palpatine, continues to deteriorate until, in a chilling scene darker than Anakin's butchering of the Sand People, Palpatine murders his entire family. Luceno makes this dark scene explode off the page, showcasing how Palpatine emerges from the barriers he had created around himself and seizes his full Force potential. As the sole living heir to House Palpatine, the charismatic young man is in an excellent position to further the Sith Grand Plan as Plagueis' apprentice. The parallels with Anakin's fall are obvious, yet quite different. Part Two of the story jumps forward ten years and spans a two-year period. It is tough to say which part of the book I enjoyed most, but the second installment definitely has an edge. Having been Plagueis' apprentice for nearly a decade, Palpatine is now fully immersed in the dark side. The Force is discussed in-depth. Luceno covers many exciting topics, from the ancients, Celestials, and Rakata to Ashla and Bogan, the Potentium Theory—that light and dark depend on the user's intentions—and the various forms of Sith Lightning. The two have a very interesting discussion about the transformative power of Sith Lightning, which ends with a chilling quote: "The power of the dark side is an illness no true Sith would wish to be cured of." One of the interesting concepts Luceno brings to the fore is that of the "realm of the Force." The rendering of a hole in the Force by Darth Tenebrous' Master is what clouded the Force and prevented the Jedi from sensing the future. With practice, the Sith were able to learn how to hide in plain sight. Palpatine was building his power in the dark side so he would, as his Master put it, be able to gain power over himself. This would eventually lead to power over another, then a group of individuals, an order, a world, a whole species, and finally the Republic itself. Of course, Plagueis doesn't give Palpatine access to much of the Sith lore and historical locations, fearing that these dark places might lead the Jedi to them. The two travel across the galaxy, training the Echani Sun Guard on Hypori and battling warriors in Kursid. The latter turned out to be one of my favorite scenes in the book, due to the way the natives worship their battles with the Sith. These fascinating warriors could easily turn out to be a threat at some point in the future. When he wasn't learning the ways of the Sith, Palpatine devoted his time to politics. With Plagueis' help, he achieved the position of Naboo's Ambassador by age twenty-eight. It was also surprising to note that he was just as much the ladies' man as was hinted at in books like Children of the Jedi and The New Jedi Order: Rebel Stand, when Roganda Ismaren made claims to Palpatine's womanizing ways. Whereas Plagueis was Palpatine's mentor in the ways of the Sith, Vidar Kim, last seen in Star Wars: Republic – Bloodlines, was his mentor in the ways of politics. Plagueis himself encouraged Palpatine's friendship with Kim, suggesting that his apprentice allow it to deepen. It didn't hurt that Vidar had a son, Ronhar, who had been admitted into the Jedi Order. Plagueis figured that Ronhar and Palpatine would cross paths sooner or later, providing Palpatine with valuable experience. Once more Plagueis had a plot within a plot, all to further the Sith Grand Plan. The Muun was a mastermind. If it wasn't for the fact that most of the things Sidious was doing were at Plagueis' request, one could almost say that the novel's focus had shifted toward Palpatine and his rise to power. As a result, Luceno takes care to remind the reader who the real mastermind is. And it isn't Sidious. That's not to say Sidious himself wasn't up to no-good. At one point, Palpatine travels to Malastare to attend a gala for the winners of the Vinta Harvest Classic (a reference to Star Wars: Republic—Emissaries to Malastare) as a member of Senator Kim's party. Sidious runs across a lot of members of Hego Damask's gatherings on Sojorn, the Sith Lord's own little "who's who" of the underworld, as well as those whom the Muun has angered. The group eventually discusses the Trade Federation, which is growing more and more powerful, and how to prevent its continued success. By the end of the scene, Senator Kim receives an urgent message that his family has been killed in a tragic "accident," leaving him with only his estranged son, Jedi Knight Ronhar. This event eventually serves as the catalyst for Palpatine becoming the Senator of Naboo. Some readers might grow bored with endless politics and almost nonexistent action, and I would tend to agree. But Luceno always found a way to keep things interesting and well-paced. The whole double play between the Sith and their alter egos was great, and it services as a fantastic history of the downfall of the Republic. Plagueis, in many ways, was like his Master, obsessing over science. In this case, Plagueis' science was the study of midi-chlorians. And after the recent release of The Tenebrous Way in Star Wars Insider, I find myself wondering just what Plagueis would have thought had he known about his Master's true obsessions and his creation of maxi-chlorians. When Yinchorr became a member world in the Senate, the Council of Elders awarded Plagueis a convicted murderer for his experiments. The murderer provided Plagueis with a great deal of insight into the Yinchorr's ability to project a Force bubble similar in a sense to the ysalimiri of Myrkkr and the vornskr which hunt them. Plagueis was indeed well schooled in midi-chlorians. Some fans feel a strong dislike for midi-chlorians, but Luceno's explanation as to how they work is quite satisfactory. It's during one of Plagueis' introspectives that we discover his personal views on "balancing the Force." He believed that the Jedi had created a Force bubble similar to the ysalmiri, but on a galactic scale; a bubble which bathed the galaxy in the light side and prevented the dark side from infiltrating. That was, until Tenebrous's Master burst the proverbial bubble. Generations of Sith were mystified that the Jedi considered the banishment of the dark side balancing the Force. The Sith believe in the Force's ability to self-regulate. You almost get the feeling that they consider it to be a partner, a sentient being who will aide them in their plan if they prove themselves worthy. Plagueis had a wide assortment of specimens, like Venamis, who had been a prisoner for eleven years. He experimented with telepathy, regeneration, healing, and most importantly extending life. With the help of his droid 11-4D Plagueis was able to break many barriers with regards to the Force. While toppling the Jedi and the Republic was key to the Sith's plan, the main goal was in the realm of the Force, they planned to topple the Force and become "the embodiment of the galaxy's animating principle." These two were playing for keeps, and the Jedi didn't know they were playing for their lives in a rigged game of Sabacc. Another theory entertained by Darth Plagueis and indeed both Jedi and Sith was that the balance between light and dark was under the guidance of the Celestials, which merged themselves with the Force some thousands of years prior and have been guiding it ever since. I have to admit, the theory has merit. There has always been a feeling of a cosmic ying yang at play within the Star Wars universe. This could explain it. But that is not to say that all entertained this theory. Many Sith out right spurned it. The only aspect of this story that didn't sit right with me was the side trip Darth Sidious makes to Dathomir. Plagueis had all but forbid him to seek out worlds strong with the dark side, so Palpatine chose the next best option: Dathomir. While on the planet, a human Nightsister approached Palpatine and offered to give him her son as a gift. This baby, a Nightbrother marked with the traditional black and red markings, would later become the fearsome Darth Maul. It's a clever little retcon to Maul's past, which was thrown for a loop with the introduction of his brother, Savage Oppress, in the The Clone Wars. Unfortunately, this chapter bothered me a lot. It was the one part of the book that felt shoehorned in. It was too coincidental for my taste. Hopefully, this back-story will be further expanded upon in future Expanded Universe works, like upcoming Darth Maul biography or The Clone Wars television show. The funny part of this scene occurs after Palpatine takes possession of young Maul. He tries to mindwipe the Nightsister, telling her to forget their meeting. Her response, "I will try," was a nice way to interject humor on Luceno's part. The whole chapter about Dathomir made me stop for a moment and think about the ramifications of what I had just read. Maul had a twin. My first instinct was to say it was Savage. But then I thought about it some more and I'm not so convinced. Savage, as we see him in The Clone Wars, looks to be the same age Maul was in Episode I The Phantom Menace, nearly a decade earlier. This leaves me wondering if we might not see Maul in The Clone Wars after all, but perhaps his twin. As the events of The Phantom Menace draw near, Plagueis and Sidious discuss how to take the final steps in their plan. Plagueis tells Palpatine that he will be the one to become Supreme Chancellor, with Plagueis himself guiding from the shadows as the co-Chancellor. It is at this moment that Palpatine bestows upon his Master the title of "Plagueis the Wise." In another surprising turn of events, the reader discovers that it was Hego Damask who first contacted the cloners on Kamino. Plagueis' vision of an army of Yinchorri wasn't feasible due to their violent nature, forcing Damask to begin the search for a more viable species to clone. Despite the limitations, Damask still had the Kaminoans move forward with cloning and testing, provided all the funding necessary to set the Kaminoans up to create what would later be the training center for the Grand Army of the Republic. Meanwhile, Palpatine uses the assassination of Senator Kim to bring Kim's son Ronhar into his confidence, as seen in Republic: Bloodlines. From here on out the story begins to pick up speed. Damask travels to Serenno to meet with Jedi Masters Jocasta Nu, Dooku, and Sifo-Dyas, along with young Jedi Knight Qui-Gon Jinn. Plagueis immediately sees Dooku as a being who might one day be a good insurance policy in case something were to happen to Sidious. Plagueis even ponders luring Dooku to the dark side to further the cause of chaos. Plagueis, at the meeting in his capacity as Magister Hego Damask, ends up getting into an economic/political debate with Qui-Gon, which leads to his grilling Sifo-Dyas about a war the likes of which we see during the Clone Wars. He ends the discussion with a very direct question, one that I'm sure had been on his mind for decades: "If attacked, would you counterattack?" As the conversation progresses, Plagueis begins to place seeds of an Army of the Republic in Sifo-Dyas' head. He mentions a group of cloners near Subterrel, but intentionally leaves out the name "Kamino." Suddenly, things begin to go haywire. Damask's enemies kidnap Palpatine, having seen them together in a meeting with Jedi on Coruscant, and attempt to kill him. Plagueis' Sun Guards arrive just seconds before Palpatine would have unleashed the full power of the dark side upon them. Plagueis, meanwhile, is severely wounded in a surprise attack on Coruscant's exclusive secret society, the Canted Circle. Plagueis managed to escape with the help of Palpatine and his assistant, Sate Pestage, but not before suffering massive injuries. Eventually, Plagueis summons Sidious to Muunilinist, to his private little island so powerful in the dark side it made Sidious take notice. It's clear that Plagueis is almost like Batman while Sidious builds up a sort of Batman Beyond type of relationship in the aftermath of the assassination attempt on Plagueis. When Sidious arrives at Plagueis's library it even feels very much like the Batcave. Like Darth Bane, Plagueis has spent his early life gathering texts, scrolls, ancient holocrons, and more. Palpatine can't wait to delve into all the rich lore contained in the library. It is here that Palpatine learns of his Master's pregnancies. Suddenly I took a keen interest in everything that was being spoken. Would the origin of the Chosen One be explained? Had Plagueis already succeeded and created Anakin inside Shmi Skywalker? Nope. Not yet. Plagueis informs his apprentice that, in his haste and failure to use appropriate caution, he left an opening. He felt that his attempts to discover the secret to extending life and tip the balance of the Force had caused the Force to strike back, resisting their efforts. It had to be won over to their cause. Again that sense of partnering with the Force ccame to mind. Plagueis is convinced that the Jedi have failed because they lost the allegiance of the Force, giving the Sith the opportunity to coax it into aligning with them. When the Force would finally open to them, they would strike. It reminds me of Yoda's saying "always in motion the Future is." These openings are moments one cannot see, but they can prove to be a game changer. Some Force users have the ability to look into the future and see multiple paths, but these moments can often cause the Force to diverge In preparation for war, Plagueis moves from his library on Aborah to Sojorn, letting Damask Holdings fall by the wayside. Plagueis places San Hill, the son of his long-time ally Lars Hill, into the role of chairman of the Intergalactic Banking Clan, which would later back the Separatist movement. The Sith know that the only way to bring down the Jedi Order and the Republic is to break it apart with a civil war, one in which the Jedi will become enemy of the public. The two decided to focus on systems already full of strife and petty conflicts. The Outer Rim worlds began to suffer while the Core prospered, all so the Sith could more easily manipulate the beings of the galaxy. One of the biggest changes fans will have to get used to is that Darth Maul, for as infamous and revered as he is, was merely a pawn. Sidious bestowed upon him the title of "Darth," but only as a means of inflating his ego. The "apprentice" had no knowledge of Plagueis. In fact, Palpatine relegated him to being a simple warrior, denying him information about Sith history and galactic politics. The young man received the best training on Mustafar and Orsis under the supervision of Trezza, a Falleen combat specialist. Plagueis eventually learns of the existence of Maul, and approves; provided that Sidious doesn't consider him to be an actual apprentice. It was Plagueis himself who firnished Maul with most of his comforts, Maul just had no clue. As did we. Part Three picks up some twenty-five years later when Sidious has become a Master of the dark side. As the third part of the book starts I found myself not wanting to set it down. Even when re-reading Darth Plagueis, I would find myself stopping to dwell on parts of the story that I had not contemplated before. Right out the gate Luceno makes another nod to an EU work, Republic: The Devaronian Version, which was a behind-the-scenes retelling of Jedi Council: Acts of War, as told by Vilmarh Grahrk, the Devarion smuggler who loved to pester Quinlan Vos in the Republic line. I find books that cover a long span in short bursts like Darth Plagueis does to be very entertaining. And as the book jumps forward, it keeps finding ways to look back on the life of Hego Damask. So much happens in the book's third act that it's almost impossible to cover every detail. With the dejarik pieces finally moving into place, the story begins to pull up alongside The Phantom Menace. Stages are set, and Luceno gives readers a shocking revelation: Plagueis was alive and well during the events of the first film, we just never saw him. Even more surprising was that Palpatine was still the apprentice when the Sith came on the scene, not Maul. This gives a whole new meaning to the film's closing line "But which was destroyed? The Master, or the apprentice?" We later learn that Plagueis dies in the film's final moments, but this is a shocking revelation nonetheless. The ramifications of this book now echo across my knowledge of the events of the film. In part three we see Palpatine claw his way to the front of the story. It is he, with the help of Plagueis, who put Padme on the throne as Queen of Naboo. Luceno does a fantastic job of merging EU books and comics into one cohesive story without any ill effects on continuity. Jabba and Gardulla the Hutt, the true Mandalorians as seen in Jango Fett: Open Seasons, C3PX, Dooku and Palpatine's conversations about the fall of the Republic, the creation of the foundries on Geonosis, and much more are all touched upon. Readers also learn about the creation of what would eventually become the Grand Army of the Republic. Sifo-Dyas did indeed order the clone army, but it was at the suggestion of Plagueis who, with the assistance of the Intergalactic Banking Clan, funded the whole operation. Damask was a very, very wealthy Sith Lord. Dooku eventually tells Palpatine about the existence of Anakin Skywalker, whom the Jedi believe could be the Chosen One. While Luceno doesn't explicitly state Anakin's origin, but since both the Sith Lords were shocked to learn of his conception it seemed like a dead give away, but it did closely coincided with Plagueis' attempts to create life. I would say Plagueis' surprise and thoughts that it was the Force trying to undo his plans was a good give away though. Palpatine immediately decides to begin seducing young Anakin to the dark side, thanks to a Force vision. But in order to accomplish this task, Maul would have to kill Qui-Gon Jinn. We all know how that turned out. The climax of the book, of course, is a unique view of the end of The Phantom Menace. With Palpatine's election to Supreme Chancellor all but assured, the two Sith Lords take a moment to celebrate their victory. Drunk on power and intoxicated by his drinks, Plagueis indulges in a rare moment of sleep. This is when Sidious strikes. He murders his Master, unleashing a flood of Force lightening into the dying Muun. Suddenly, Luceno throws in a plot twist. In many ways, most of Darth Plagueis lowered Palpatine's reputation and cunning in the eyes of the reader, instead showing how Plagueis had been the mastermind in many instances. This, however, is most certainly not the case. Sidious hates his Master much more than we were initially given to believe. My favorite part of the speech was when he tells Plagueis that he was never really his Master. "You lost the game on the very first day you chose to train me to rule by your side—or better still under your thumb. Teacher, yes, and for that I will be eternally grateful. But Master—never." This one line gives you the sense that Palpatine had long ago determined that his Master would have to be dealt with at some point; that there was some merit to Bane's Rule of Two after all. And we learn what many of us suspected all along: that the man who "wrote" the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise was none other than Lord Sidious. He coins the tale there on the spot as he mocks his Master for his experiments with midi-chlorians. But the most interesting part of Plaguies' death is that Lord Sidious sees himself as the Sith'ari. He tells his former Master that he clouded his mind just as the two of them had clouded the minds of the Jedi. Sidious never intended sharing the Chancellorship, and all he really wanted was his Master's secrets. Sidious then flips the script on not just Darth Plagueis, but the reader as well. We learn that since his rise to mastery, most, if not all, of the ideas that Plagueis had for the Sith Grand Plan had come from Palpatine all along. Sidious had cleverly planted ideas in Plagueis' mind, ideas which Sidious would later be ordered to put into play. As his former Master lay dead, I immediately flipped back to the prologue and re-read the chapter. It fits in perfectly right after Plagueis slumps to the floor. The novel ends with Palpatine luring Dooku ever closer to the dark side. With his former apprentice Qui-Gon dead and another one, Komari Vosa, leading a group of renegades, Dooku has become even more disenfranchised with the Jedi Order, cementing his decision to leave. Dooku tells Palpatine that he suspects that the Sith apprentice was killed on Naboo and confides in Palpatine about his intentions to ally with the Sith in order to bring down the Republic. What strikes me is that Jedi tales are filled with small adventures, whereas Sith stories give readers a recounting of their lives. I really enjoy this approach to the storytelling, and it leaves me wanting to know even more about the characters involved. While this book may have slowed down at times due to the politics involved, they were integral to the story: the dejarik game that is the revenge of the Sith. Luceno shows readers just how the Sith Grand Plan came to fruition, and we get one heck of a story in the process. As I said in our spoiler review, this book is a must-have. Every Star Wars fan should enjoy Darth Plagueis! It's obvious that Del Rey and Luceno intended for this book to be a jumping in point to the Expanded Universe, as well as a fantastic look into the life of Palpatine and his Master. Needless to say, they did an excellent job. This book was a pleasure to read and a very fun ride. By the time it was all said and done, Luceno had me rooting for the Sith. Darth Maul's usage in the book, while good, wasn't all it could have been for me. But this is really the only complaint I can level against Darth Plagueis. I'm eagerly awaiting a sequel to this chronicling Darth Sidious' life and times as a Sith Lord, it was set up so perfectly. Luceno's latest novel will go down in history as one of the best entries to the Expanded Universe, hands down. Reviewed by Mark Hurliman All staff members can be contacted at email@example.com

Women's Lacrosse to Host First Round of NCAA Tournament
WASHINGTON- The Catholic University of America women's lacrosse team will host Christopher Newport in the first round of the NCAA tournament Wednesday afternoon, the organization announced Sunday. The time is yet to be determined.
Catholic and CNU are familiar foes, last meeting in the opening round of NCAAs two years ago where the Cardinals defeated the Captains 18-7.
Christopher Newport will enter the tournament coming off their fourth conference title in as many years. The Captains currently stand at 13-6 on the year, led by Kaitlin Quigley and Meghan Harkey who have accounted for 128 of the teams' 280 goals.
The Cardinals enter Wednesday's game with an overall record of 12-6, as well as a perfect record in conference play. Mary Swarthout and Meg Brady lead a balanced offensive team where five players have collected 20 or more goals this season. The squad is also dangerous on the defensive end, with over 200 caused turnovers on the year.

Solid gold. These days we frequently hear advertisements luring us to sell the "old gold" we having lying around the house. How do we know if it's real? If it's pure through and through?
That got me to thinking about congruence within ourselves. Are we pure gold through and through? It has to do with values. Not WHAT you value, but what DO you value. By this I mean living and behaving according to our values. We all know and admire folks like this. They do what they say and they believe what they do.
In counseling others, I encourage clients to think about this. Are you living and behaving according to your values? When you do, peace will be yours and so will respect. It's a challenge to really sit back and take our own inventory. Much easier to take the inventory of others, but then change doesn't really occur.
Counseling is a way to gently guide you to your true golden self.

Papers filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court say the amount represents a "conservative analysis" of how much Seabrook steered to shady nonprofits for "improper expenditures" to his then-mistress, family members and friends, as well as other "undocumented or inappropriate expenses."
The feds say, "Every dollar of those payments is a loss to the city for which Larry Seabrook is responsible."
The Bronx Democrat was convicted of nine counts of conspiracy and fraud in the nonprofit-funding scheme, but beat the rap on an infamous allegation that he doctored a receipt to get reimbursed $177 from his political club for a bagel sandwich and Diet Snapple.
The feds say he deserves up to nine years in the slammer when he's sentenced next month, but Seabrook is hoping for no jail time on grounds that he's already "had to suffer immense shame, humiliation and degradation" due to his conviction and ouster from public office.

COURSES - Where is the list of available courses for the upcoming semester?
It is available via WebOPUS.
DEGREE - Are there other college resources that can help me plan my degree?
The Registrar's Office has several resources to help you with your degree planning. It also has Apply for Graduation resources.
POLICY - I keep hearing about the psychology department classroom behavior policy. What is it?
The Department of Psychology implements a uniform policy on classroom behavior and grading. You may access its PDF form by clicking here.
PRACTICE - What does it mean when a psychology course is labeled as a "practice course"?
This term primarily applies to students who are on the 2010-2015 catalogs.
A psychology practice course involves an element of applied psychology where psychological concepts and principles are practiced in real world settings (community placements, in-class simulations of therapy or group processes, naturalistic observation settings, and the like). These elements of practice should provide opportunities for exposure to, and feedback from, more real world settings than classroom lecture experiences. In one sense, practice courses should help students to negotiate the world of work. Communication skills are required that go beyond the typical sophomore level.
SCIENCE - What does it mean when a psychology course is labeled as a "science course"?
A psychology science course emphasizes critiquing empirical studies using knowledge of research methodology. Students are expected to demonstrate critical thinking, locate and comprehend primary literature, synthesize findings from different sources, and display working knowledge of APA (American Psychological Association) writing style. When discussing studies, relevant ethical issues may be considered. Students may be expected to write research proposals, use assessment tools, and/or collect data.
THESIS - I want to sign up for Senior Thesis. How do I go about doing that?
Psychology 498: Senior Research/Thesis is an option available to senior psychology majors. Its prerequisite is Psychology 301. It involves doing your own research project under the guidance of a psychology faculty member. A student who wishes to take Psyc 498 needs to identify a psychology faculty member who will guide him or her. Then the student submits a proposal to the faculty member. The proposal outlines the type of project and the scope of the work. This is an opportunity for a psychology major to work one-on-one with a psychology professor and conduct original work on a research topic that interests him or her. Psyc 498 is a rigorous course, and students who are interested in taking it should prepare as early as possible.
TUTORS - Is there a place where I can get help for a course or where I can help other students with their coursework?
Because psychology is considered a STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) discipline, psychology students can also take advantage of the resources at the STEM3 Student Success Center either as a participant or a tutor.
WAITLIST - Can I get on the waitlist for a course?
You can get on a waitlist for a course if it is full. Here are some important things to keep in mind regarding the waitlist:

So much for the old saw about braving rain, sleet and snow to deliver the mail.
That unofficial motto – adapted from the ancient Greek historian Herodotus – said nothing about a blizzard.
The U.S. Postal Service at 2 p.m. Wednesday halted deliveries and closed hundreds of Colorado post offices from Monument north and east to the Kansas border, said Al DeSarro, U.S. Postal Service spokesman.
"We're in gridlock and dangerous conditions," DeSarro said. "It's just best to bring everyone back in and hold the mail a day and try to get that mail out tomorrow."
Nearly 1,000 UPS drivers in Colorado and Nebraska were also pulled off the road. FedEx halted air service to Colorado.
Last time Denver mail service was halted was March 2003, when a storm dumped 29.5 inches of snow. That was spring and not during a busy mailing period. The busiest mailing day of the year was Monday, which was the deadline for mailing Christmas packages.
"Most of that is in the system," DeSarro said. "We have another three days to get that delivered. We are confident."
DeSarro said Herodotus' motto is just that – a motto.
"We can't overcome Mother Nature," he said.

European Course "Comparative Genomics" 2013
Organizers: Jean-Nicolas Volff (ENS Lyon), Cline Brochier (University Lyon 1)
Since 2008, we organize the European course entitled "Comparative Genomics" for Master and PhD students from the Ecole Normale Superieure of Lyon and from other European universities.
This year the course will be held from 21 January – 1 February 2013 at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon (France, http://www.ens-lyon.fr). The course aims at initiating students to Comparative Genomics, a young and fast-evolving scientific field with a growing impact on science and societies.
The course covers ten major topics of comparative genomics with an emphasis on recent major discoveries and innovating concepts/approaches in the fields of biology, ecology, medicine and biotechnologies. Each topic is presented by two internationally reputed scientists with complementary views/approaches. The two lectures are followed by a round table with the students and the two speakers.

Most of the UK drivers aged 17-24 are unaware of the legal drink drive limit.
According to a new survey which questioned 1, 000 young people, 79% of them didn't know the drink drive limit in the UK, that of 80mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood. The research was carried by the Red Driving School, which discovered shocking gaps in young drivers' awareness and education. A third of the surveyed young people said that they witnessed their parents drink drive and 1 in 5 claim that they would never do drink drive unless the unexpected happens.
Drinkaware.co.uk also found out that in the UK alcohol consumption in December increases by 40%. According to the study 40% of young people refuse to travel in a car with a driver that had consumed alcohol and 62% will not let themselves influenced by their parents' drink and drive decision.
"While the research has revealed a serious need for more young driver education around drink driving and what the legal drink drive limit is, it has highlighted some positive statistics that show that young people are responsible drivers and consider their safety on the road," said Ian McIntosh, CEO at RED Driving School.

So off I went to LQ's in search of some fun and entertainment. My friends and I walked in and I instantly surveyed the crowd, searching for a few talented dancing kings. Once at our VIP table, I spotted a papi chulo. He had bottles of alcohol, was tall and very cute. And did I mention he had bottles of alcohol?
Soon, I walked toward him and we were side by side. He glanced at me, beamed and introduced himself. In a daze, I did the same. He was much cuter up close, with light brown eyes, gorgeous clear skin and a winning smile. Then I felt what I usually feel when in the presence of sweet, hot greatness. I needed to get some love! Spontaneously, I turned to Mr. Alcohol, got on my tippy toes and kissed him on the lips. Yup! I struck again and felt just as good as the last time. He simply smiled, passed me a plastic cup and said, "This drinks on me." I accepted it graciously and took a sip, all the while thinking: It feels so good to take care of me.

Roma legend Carlo Mazzone believes "Carlo Ancelotti is the right man" to take over at the Stadio Olimpico.
Ancelotti has always said he wants to lead the Giallorossi one day, having spent much of his playing career at this club and adoring the city.
Now that he has been sacked by Chelsea, the door is open to replace Vincenzo Montella and begin a new era with President Thomas Di Benedetto.
"I can say, as a former player, former Coach and current fan, that it's not easy to be in charge of Roma," Mazzone told TMW.
"The fans are extremely demanding. I see only one man who is right for this job: Ancelotti. He has everything it takes to lead the Giallorossi, including a very successful career behind him.
"He knows the environment, having been a Roma player. He has all the characteristics needed to represent the new club. I also see Marcelo Bielsa linked with the position, but right now Roma do not need experiments."

On January 14, 1969, the Navy announced the award of the contract for the VFX fighter, now designated F-14, to Grumman. The Navy bought 583 F-14As through 1988 and procured 55 F-14Ds (a new model) over the five-year period from 1988 to 1992. Consistent with its capability, the F-14D is expensive, with a projected average unit price tag of about $74 million [1988 dollars].
When it launches off the deck of an aircraft carrier, it is the most feared fighter in the sky. The roar of it's engine is unforgettable. It is the most storied aircraft in the world today, a veteran of countless sorties in peacetime and conflict, and popularized in novels and on the silver screen. It is the F-14B Tomcat, and it is the backbone of naval aviation.
The F-14 Tomcat is a supersonic, twin-engine, variable sweep wing, two-place fighter designed to attack and destroy enemy aircraft at night and in all weather conditions. The F-14 can track up to 24 targets simultaneously with its advanced weapons control system and attack six with Phoenix AIM-54A missiles while continuing to scan the airspace. The Tomcat is the only U.S. plane capable of carrying the long-range Phoenix missile, which can fire at targets from distances of about 80 miles. Armament also includes a mix of other air intercept missiles, rockets and bombs.
Manufactured by Grumman Aircraft Corporation, the F-14 employs variable geometry wings to optimize aircraft performance throughout the flight envelope. The F-14 swing-wing could be manually controlled by the pilot or shifted automatically according to the plane's speed. It moved forward to allow the plane to land on tiny aircraft carrier decks at relatively low speeds and backward as the plane dashed out to intercept Soviet bombers. The multiple tasks of navigation, target acquisition, electronic counter measures (ECM), and weapons firing are divided between the pilot and the radar intercept officer (RIO).
When the F-14 Tomcat thunders off the aircraft carrier's deck into the sky, its wings automatically sweeping back to a 60-degree angle as the two afterburning turbofan engines each kick out 27,000 pounds of thrust, propelling the fighter at more than twice the speed of sound. Inside the wings and fuselage, five internal fuel tanks must securely hold up to 9,000 liters of highly volatile jet fuel under extremes of temperature, vibration, high G forces and other adverse conditions. If a sufficiently large leak in the fuel system should occur near a heat source, there could be disastrous consequences.
Overall, the Navy's Grumman F-14 Tomcat is without equal among today's Free World fighters. Six long-range AIM-54A Phoenix missiles can be guided against six separate threat aircraft at long range by the F-14's AWG-9 weapons control system. For medium-range combat, Sparrow missiles are carried; Sidewinders and a 20mm are available for dogfighting. In the latter role, the Tomcat's variable-sweep wings give the F-14 a combat maneuvering capability that could not have been achieved with a "standard" fixed planform wing.

Napoli assistant manager Fabio Pecchia explained some surprising Champions League picks against Athletic Bilbao.
Rafa Benitez chose Walter Gargano and Miguel Angel Britos in place of Gokhan Inler and Faouzi Ghoulam for tonight's play-off. Click here for the line-ups. [12]
"At this moment of the season the choices are dictated by fitness levels," Pecchia told Sky Sport Italia.
"Many returned from the World Cup and we have to take that into account.
"Getting through this play-off is an important objective for everyone and we have to face it with the right focus against an important team with quality technique.
"We do have a disadvantage compared to Athletic, as they have been preparing for this game for a long time, but I think with the help of the fans we can put in a top level performance."

Judiciary Committee subpoenas documents
by UPI
WASHINGTON - The U.S. House Judiciary Committee issued a subpoena Tuesday demanding documents from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales.
The subpoena is the first in the investigation into the firing of eight U.S. attorneys, The Washington Post reported.
"We have been patient in allowing the department to work through its concerns regarding the sensitive nature of some of these materials," Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., the committee chairman, said in a letter to Gonzales. "Unfortunately, the department has not indicated any meaningful willingness to find a way to meet our legitimate needs."
Gonzales is scheduled to appear before the committee on April 17. The subpoena demands that documents be handed over by Monday at 2 p.m.
The Justice Department has already turned over thousands of pages of documents. The committee only asked for copies of those in cases where information had been removed.

Dentists diagnose and treat problems with teeth and tissues in the mouth, along with giving advice and administering care to aid avert future issues. I keep in mind I was about 5 or six and gagged a little although the dentist was functioning and he hit me in the stomach. If not then I hopefully am not a dentist any longer either due to the fact this present professional track has certainly run its course. Your dentist may not have utilized adequate Novocaine, or did it improperly, but drilling into a tooth is not just painful, is is unendurable. Dentist unemployment rate: Dentists have the lowest unemployment prices of all the jobs in the dental office at an astounding price of 1.five%! This might be performed by any dentist with encounter or education in this field.
I later learned the office is careful to analyze your medicine before providing anesthetic. The dentist confirms what the patient is having completed and begins modest talk to attempt to unwind the patient. Our experience at the dentist was so bad because my daughter is morbidly afraid of going to the dentist AND getting a shot. Deni, we think that doctors and police, these who put on the uniforms of authority, are to be trusted and we teach our young children to trust accordingly. If you would like to discover much more about pursuing a profession in dentistry, speak to dentists in your neighborhood and/or ask to visit a dental workplace. Our dentists provide exemplary restorative, cosmetic and complete dentistry 6 days a week—making it simpler to schedule appointments that fit your schedule!
This is for children who are into the permanent dentition, usually about 8 years old or older and is typically followed by orthodontic therapy (braces). Ultimately, though, I developed a relationship with 1 young dentist and managed to schedule my appointments with her. Dental educators have the potential to shape the dental school curriculum and the skilled part of the dentist by establishing themselves as faculty members in dental education. Han Pediatric Dentistry 415-681-3220 Dr. James Han's workplace is at 1530 Noriega Street. Modern day cosmetic dentistry methods make it easier than ever for you to have a vibrant, even smile. As a parent, you may get education on your child's dental health throughout the appointment. We also aid teach parents how to care for their child's teeth, such as what foods to avoid, when their youngsters must brush their teeth and how to brush a young child's teeth.
In contrast, the other dentist had advisable a new cosmetic remedy referred to as an on-lay which would generate a crown that would bond to her adult tooth. And so I discovered one of the ideal kept well being care secrets in LA, the UCLA School of Dentistry Clinic. At the end of the day the dentist writes and critiques all notes in the patient's charts and then goes property. Also – making certain your site is 1 of the first ones …

suckerPUNCH: describe your project.
markéta RICHTEROVÁ: I presented my new collections in Superstudio at Designblok '10. The event was held in Prague in October 2010 having water as its main thematic focus. The individual pieces of jewelry were scattered on a so-called Afloat installation by Zbyněk Krulich and looked like reflecting on water surface. They included Droplets and Bubbles earings made of clear perspex as well as Red Droplets made of epoxy and Black Droplets made of carbon fibres.
Exclusive Carbon Pearls necklaces were complemented with a renewed collection of carbon bracelets. My recent works going beyond the edge of jewelry include handbags called Seeds. Only three pieces of luxury handbags are made of carbon fibres, silver and leather, satin or silk. The handbags are very light and smooth; their haptic form makes wearing them easy.
sP: what or who influenced this project?
mR: Inspiration comes from nature, simplicity and organic forms..
And also from cooperation with designer Zbyněk Krulich and photographer Michal Šeba
sP: what were you reading/listening to/watching while developing this project?
mR: book by Simon Mawer and Haruki Murakami /by Moderat and Data-live / video mapping by The macula
sP: whose work is currently on your radar?
mR: Rem Koolhaas, Tokujin Yoshioka, Michal Šeba

Originally posted on Vikings Digital Diaries | Last updated 11/5/12
I WISH It Was Mediocrity: Instead, it may be just downright terrible football. The Vikings lost to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, November 4, 20-30, and frankly, that was a generous score. I kept looking at the scoreboard in the third quarter and broke several glasses as they dropped along with my slacked jaw when I realized that we were within three points still. BAH?! Yup, all we needed was a field goal to put some pressure on the Seahawks, tie that ***** up, and sneak out another win despite a outlandish and offensive display of quarterback play. But no, our offense couldn't even get into field goal range (which, keep in mind, means getting to the like FIFTY so that Little Big Leg could kick a 80 yard field goal, no problem). In the end, there's not a ton to say. We were out coached, out quarterbacked (by a midget mulatto), out defensed, and out classed in the most ridiculous way. There are zero excused, except to say that maybe Ponder was confused because he was two time zones away, had a late kickoff start, and the whole day light savings thing, but ... Eh. Half the season of him sucking now is a pattern, not a blip on the career record. Mushroom Stamp of Disapproval: Without question, the fall guy for this game is Christian Ponder. First, he CONTINUES to insist that he plays with his shirt on. If you ever want to find out why things are going wrong, start there. If you want to find another reason, consider that ever since it became very public that he was dating Samantha Steele, he's sucked an alligator dong, too. Beyond that, 63 yards, 50% completions, four sacks, one interception, and a 37.3 quarterback rating won't really cut it either. People keep saying that it's either all Ponder's fault, or that his receivers suck. It's a little of both, sure, but Ponder has to at least try to throw the ball to a receiver before they can fail catching it. I mean, how does pig nose Russell Wilson laser the ball to his receivers with a five yard window and they catch it? Is Doug Baldwin any better than Michael Jenkins? I don't even know who Doug Baldwin is, so I'm going to say no. Either way, Ponder gets most of the blame, but to say that this isn't an entire team effort of sucking it up, that'd be disingenuous, because HOLY HELL our defense is terrible too. Ponder is just more, obviously, terrible. Defense is Fun: Speaking of defense ... I think it's safe to say that the nice defensive experience we had to start the year is over with. This is two weeks in a row where poor teams were made to look like mid 2000's Patriots. Really? Tampa Bay? Seahawks? We give up like 700 rushing yards and let baby quarterbacks pick us apart like it's a Halloween cake walk. I never thought Chris Cook could beat me (or my heart?) too. I don't actually think him being out has been the main thing that's screwed this defense, but the opposing teams passing games have looked great with him out. Or maybe it's just that AJ Jefferson is that terrible. Probably both. And more than that, the running defense is a heart breaker too. Remember when we wouldn't give up 100 yard runners? Seems like a decade ago. Now we let rookies and their back ups almost set single game rushing records against us like it's a dare. If so, that's a real ****** dare, and I wish they'd stop it. But then I look at see that there's a thing called "Christian Ballard" and a "Letroy Guion" manning the middle while Kevin Williams is 48 years old. That ain't going to do it, dudes. Pick your game up. Thanks to Percy and Peterson: So while we begin to digest how horrible the rest of the team is half way through this season, let's take this moment to recognize just how blessed we are, like proper little disciples, to have Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin on this team. Without them, we'd have ... what, 97 total yards? What the hell, man. First, Purple Jesus puts up the highest career first half numbers he's ever had and the coaches decide to start putting the ball in Ponder's hands. OK, terrible idea, but maybe you'll at least get the ball to Percy Harvin. Or, wait, no, maybe you'll just tell Ponder not to throw it at all, instead, scramble while frightened and dump off to Toby Gerhart instead. Great plans, guys. And when Percy finally goes Randy Moss on the coach and tells him he's a dick nose like he really is? Keep in on the sidelines! To teach him a lesson! Because the coach knows best! I swear to god, if everyone but these two (and Kluwe?) aren't fired in the morning I'm starting to plot a glitter bombing. The **** List: Depending on whether the team wins or loses, we compile a **** or IT list of players (or franchise related people and things) that really affected the team in the last week. Since we lost this week AGAIN, we'll be pulling out the people who deserve to get nut punched: - Fans clamoring for Joe Webb (Because he's totally the Steve Young on our bench, morons) - Phil Loadholt (When you got two guys rushing on your side, the best option totally is to block neither of them) - Kyle Rudolph (Take notes from Percy, Domer, get pissed and make the coach call a play for you) - Christian Ponder (Dump the broad, take your shirt off, and start throwing your balls deep) - Any defensive tackle (TACKLE) - AJ Jefferson (You fulfilled your role to teach us about Arizona's game plan, so you can leave now) - Bill Musgrave (When your running back is on pace for 300 yards, you should probably sell out and just run the ball) Frowny Haiku: "Hey Pete, quick question, As an expert, how do you Steal a Double-You?" Welp, the dreams over, dudes. If I had to guess, I say we win one more game this year and get a top 10 draft pick. I have no idea what that game is, but I figure it has to happen through dumb luck at some point. But the Packers? Bears? Lions again? Hahaha, LOL, goodnight sweet princes. Prepare your anuses for the bottom of the division again, because that's where we're heading! But at least it will be enjoyable while it happens. [follow]

Stage Lighting Company Kliegl Bros. Props.
developed the Klieg light. (The name Leko
is now a trademark of Strand Lighting.)
Many film and video shooters today
know the fixture by a new brand name,
Source Four, an invention of ETC (Electronic
Theatre Controls), which manufactures
a high-quality, versatile version of
the ERS.
An ellipsoidal reflector spotlight features
a built-in reflector in the shape of
half an ellipse. By positioning the source
light within the ellipse, rays of light emanating
from the source are bounced off
the surface and reflected to a single point,
called the conjugate focal point (CFP).
The light rays converge at the CFP and
then diverge from there. The fixture's
double lenses located just after the
CFP refract and focus the light
to create a very efficient
spotlight that can project
light over great distances.
ERS lights feature an
aperture, called the "gate," located just
before the CFP that cuts off unfocused
beams of light and forms the shape of the
light to be projected through the fixture's
lenses. The gate has four adjustable shutters,
solid metal blades that can be inserted
into the gate to further shape the beam
of light. This is like building four flags into
the fixture that allow the user to cut light
off of unwanted areas and shape the beam
into almost any simple linear shape.
All ERS fixtures feature a series of lenses
that focus and project the beam. These
lenses, generally just a pair of plano-convex
lenses, can be adjusted closer or further
from the CFP to sharply focus or defocus
the beam at different distances.
ERS fixtures come in various sizes,
generally described by two numbers: the
diameter of the lens (listed first) and the
length of the barrel. The longer the barrel,
the farther the lenses are from the
CFP and the narrower the
projected beam will be. The
final number is the field of
projection for the beam angle
(center, hottest portion)
of the light. The smaller that
number, the more focused
the beam is.
3 1/2" x 6" = 25°
3 1/2" x 8" = 18°
3 1/2" x 10" = 16°
4 1/2" x 6 1/2" = 33°
6" x 9" = 24°
6" x 12" = 16°
6" x 16" = 15°
6" x 22" = 8°
8" x 9" = 7°
10" x 12" = 7°
ERS fixtures are available
from 250 Watts to 1,000
Watts, with the most common
being the 750W ETC
Source Four fixture.
One of the most creative
executions of an ERS on a
film set that I ever witnessed
was when I was a gaffer for
cinematographer Robert
Humphreys on a film called
"The Invisibles," starring Portia
de Rossi. We were on the
second floor of an apartment
building shooting at night,
but the scene called for
daylight. We didn't have the time or equipment
to light through the windows from
the outside, so Humphreys used an ERS
to create a daylight look from the inside.
The windows were
covered with a sheer
drape, so we focused
an ERS on the drapes
and cut the shape of
the light to the shape
of the window inside
the drapes. The effect
looked exactly
like light was coming
through the window
instead of simply being
projected on the
curtain. By placing
other instruments in
the room to mimic
what natural light
would be like coming
through the window,
we sold the effect
simply, quickly and
quite effectively.
I used this effect
several times later in
my career. The first
time I pulled it out
of my bag of tricks I
was a cinematographer
on a film called
"Mothman." I was in
Point Pleasant, W.V.,
and in a nearly identical
floor and no access
to lighting through
the window—so we
lit the window from the
inside instead.
I have often used ERS fixtures to spotlight
some object in the background, to
shape light on the set or to introduce a pattern
and breakup of light.
It's important to note that the lenses
in ERS fixtures are incredibly simple. The
plano-convex lens is the most basic form
of optics. No chromatic aberration correction
has been worked into the lens system,
which means that sharp patterns often
demonstrate color fringing around the
high-contrast areas. To fix this, we do the
same thing we do with camera lenses: stop
down the aperture. In this case we place
a "donut" in the fixture's front color-frame
holder. A donut is merely a solid piece of
metal with a small circle diaphragm cut
into the center. The donut reduces the exit
pupil of the lamp in the same way that an
aperture in a lens reduces the entrance pupil.
It helps to reduce the effects of chromatic
aberration significantly.
The ERS is a versatile fixture that works
great for lighting specific portions of sets
or locations with patterns or specific cuts
of light. They're very controllable and efficient

--- Wayne Manor
A cool breeze blew in off the sea, as the sun sank below the waves of the Atlantic. A few birds road the air, but none came close enough to hear the voices below them.
The young redheaded man stared longingly at the fliers above him as he spoke ", So Savage could be a good guy? I don't get it. If he was a good person then, why is he at the bottom of a salt mine in Kasnia now?"
"Because he was lonely. It drove him crazy." Bruce set his coffee down carefully. After a year without caffeine, it was potent. "It is the same thing that happened to Ras'a Guld."
"Savage never told us what happened to him, did he?" Diana was just happy to be in something other than her uniform for a change. And under a blue sky. She never did adjust to the red light, even after all that time. Next to her, Bruce shook his head.
"Savage is in that salt mine because we put him back there." Kara frowned into her coffee, still confused by the timing of things. "What I still don't understand how you two could have been gone for a year, and it was only two months for us."
"Time travel is funny, Kara. I've never tried to understand it, and I really try not to do it." The silver streaks showing in his hair, Clark, once part time reporter and full time super hero and now a full time farmer, leaned forward, resting his elbows ont eh table top and his chin on his fingers. His word had been final: he was done. Even though Toyman hadn't died, it was too close to that other reality for it to be risked. "Bruce, any plans for reforming the League?"
"Yeah, Boss, are we going to get our union cards?" Barb was laying on top of a short bench, her legs across Dick's lap. With Bruce back, she knew he and Dick would need some space from each other, but she was pretty sure that she would be able to keep them talking to each other. She and Dick had already talked about living together when he moved out of the Manor again.
"I don't know if a new League is the right answer now. It's pretty badly busted up." Yawning badly, Wally stretched his arms, letting one land around Kara's shoulders. "GL and Hawkgirl on a galaxy tour, J'onn's incommunicado; what's wrong with the system we have now?"
"Nothing. A lot of people didn't trust the League because it wasn't open enough. We don't have those limits." Finally speaking after a long time spent staring at the waves, Dick Greyson looked around the patio.
"'Justice Unlimited', Master Dick?" Alfred looked a little uncomfortable, but both of his bosses had told him to take the evening off, join them as an equal. He had been such a part of the first organization created by Bruce, and then the one created by the next generation, they had wanted him to be a part of this.
"That sounds like a shady law firm." Bruce smiled, a rare enough sight for most of those at the table. "I don't know if it needs a name."
Clark looked at his long time friend and ally. Bruce was defiantly different after a year alone with Diana and Savage. He didn't know how he would have faired in the same situation. Clark had listened with horror as they told of how Savage couldn't even be sure of where he had destroyed the League; he didn't know if he could have restrained himself then. His years as a reporter spoke to him inside. "It needs a name, so that people will recognize it. And the League already has airspace rights with various countries. And the insurance policies."
"Then 'The Justice League Unlimited'? Or 'New Justice'?"
"That sounds like a soft drink. We'll figure something out." Diana picked up the list of volunteers again, looking at the names and the capability summaries next to each of them. It was a thick stack of paper, despite each page having a dozen names on it. "With this many people, we'll figure something out."
--- Elsewhen
Savage sat alone on the rebuilt park bench, looking at the statue he had refurbished. His friends. He was waiting for something, a sign that they had been successful. He knew the odds were good he wouldn't get one. This was just one possible outcome, and it would be his prison for eternity, the last man on Earth. Or maybe there was only one outcome, and they had failed this time as well. Or maybe they hadn't made it. In any case, he wasn't leaving. A thermite charge in the starship had made sure of it.
As the shattered moon rose, bathing the desert in a ghostly light, he blinked. The the cracks were fading as he watched. Slowly the night became less a blackened maroon, and more of a deep blue. The color of the night sky of his youth, before pollution. Grasses and trees slowly appeared, the scent of night blooms filling his nose. People, he could see them. Young people, old people, lots of them, solidifying. He could hear their voices, like a whisper carried on the breeze, slowly growing louder. The city, the life was returning.
He looked down at his hands, seeing through them as he his own existence faded. The last look on his face was one of joy and peace, utter rapture. They had succeeded. Thank you, my friends.
The Moon shown gently on the peaceful circle of gardens and benches, the paths leading to a simple, privative looking gate of titanium. The letters over the gate declared this place "Heroes Park". At the center of the park stood a statue of two ancient heroes, their names lost to the past but for a tiny number of scholars. And anyone who bothered to ask their connection to the network.
Two of them, standing eternal vigil. He stood looking out over the land, as she looked out over the seas and heavens, ever waiting to be called on. Under their feet were stones. Each stone has a name on it, as did many of the stones that supported other, smaller sculptures, and formed the cobbles of the paths. A stone for the greatest leaders and defenders of Earth. Not all had been born here, but this had been their home, and they had payed the ultimate price for it. Thousands of names. Superman. Wonder Woman. John Stewart, Green Lantern. Shayera Hol-Stewart. Flash. Vandel Savage.
Author's notes:
Redemption and restitution take many forms. It could be that the isolation of immortality drove a basically good and brave man mad over mellenia. What could bring him back into the light?

FergieâÂÂs Franco-fest sparks Spanish cyberspace storm
For a few soiling seconds on Tuesday evening, La Liga Loca had the experience of how it must feel to be a Manchester United fan. And what a very disturbing moment it was, too. That needed much scrubbing.
The root cause of this sorry sensation were the comments by Fergie that âÂÂReal Madrid, as FrancoâÂÂs club, had a history of being able to get whoever and whatever they wanted before democracy came to Spain.âÂÂ
Franco vs Fergie, Fascism vs Socialism
Now the blog isnâÂÂt going to poke its political pole into the historical honey-trap being set by the Oracle of Old Trafford; that would require insight, maturity, rationality and reason. Four things that, the last time the blog checked, it wasnâÂÂt in possession of.
What Sir AlexâÂÂs allegations to GQ did mean was that the blog would be able to swerve the eye-gougingly dull topics currently dominating the Spanish sports news agenda. Namely...
a) are Barcelona even dreamier than the Dream Team?
b) is there a global refereeing conspiracy against Real Madrid?
c) have Bernd Schuster and Sergio Ramos kissed and made up?
d) isnâÂÂt the Copa del Rey exciting?
But, in order to fulfil the news requirements of todayâÂÂs edition the answers, in brief, are...
a) âÂÂNoâÂÂ, say Pep and Txiki. âÂÂYes, yes, yes!â say Sport and Mundo Deportivo
b) âÂÂDonâÂÂt be sillyâÂÂ, say Marca. âÂÂWe need to ask Ramón Calderòn what to think firstâ say AS.
c) âÂÂYesâ say AS, who printed an imaginary conversation between the two parties. All that was missing was Sun-style speech bubbles and Bernd Schuster lounging around in his lingerie. And 'yes' says Michel Salgado in an interview in Marca that required at least seven, yes, seven journalists.
d) No. No it isnâÂÂt.
The lack of Raúl in the debate means that the editorial pages of the two Madridista papers are still in a bit of a tizz over what to think about the Sir AlexâÂÂs slurs, aside from Roberto Gomez noting that his words were âÂÂdefamatoryâÂÂ.
However, this reticence is not shared by the ranting readership of MarcaâÂÂs website.
The defining factor of politics in Spain is that you are generally either for or against something. None of your Trevor Brooking-style fence-sitting and issue-chewing, thank you very much. The country is pretty much split down the middle between Left and Right with the two twains rarely meeting, except for a cheeky beer once in wee while.
"No harm in leaning on a fence. Or is there?"
Combine this scenario with the fanaticism of football and you have a headier cocktail than anything Ronaldinho could ever dream up.
For this reason, the United managerâÂÂs comments are the number one story on the paperâÂÂs website and has racked up, at the time of writing, 849 comments. And, as to be expected, the very, very, very brief sampling of the Marca readers musings suggest that Fergie is completely wrong. Or completely right.
âÂÂItâÂÂs disgusting, it shows a lack of respect for its fans,â says one peed-off poster. âÂÂIf Madrid say Raúl for Spain, then he has to play for Spain. They think that if they keep saying Ronaldo will come to Madrid, then the English should drop their trousers... isnâÂÂt this Francoist thinking?â said one ready-to-explode reader.
Despite the never-ending circles in which the debate will spin around like Paolo Assunçao on a football pitch, it beats having to discuss the two-legged non-tussles between Benidorm and Barcelona, Portugalate and Valencia...

Why The Titans Fans Are #29 On Facebook
Why The Titans Fans Are #29 On Facebook is the Houston Oilers fault.
I dare say that most Tennessee Titans Fans didn't move here from Houston! I'm also fairly certain that there are absolutely zero former Oiler fans who aren't Texans Fans now, so the Titans Fans are pretty much local to Tennessee.
This is the very reason why the Texans Fans are ahead of the Titans Fans in Facebook activity, since they all were Oilers fans before the team moved to Nashville. Now, Tennessee finally has a professional NFL team, and the fan base is growing fast.
Titans Fans are ahead of the 54 year old Bills Fans by 145k 'Likes', and just need the brand new 2014 coaching crew, lead by HC Ken Whisenhunt, to get this team on track in a hurry.
Whisenhunt spent last year as the Chargers OC. After 6 years with the Cardinals, where he guided them to the Super Bowl following the '08 season, he is the Cardinals all time "winning" HC sporting a losing (.469%) record. That doesn't say much for the Cardinals franchise!
The gnawing questions for me are on this new staff.
Defensive coordinator Ray Horton has 3 years experience in the position, and worked with Whisenhunt in Arizona as DC for two of those years. Last year he was with the Browns, and we all know what happened with the shakeup over there this year.
I believe that Horton will do an excellent job in Nashville. He will flip-flop between a 4-3 & 3-4 base defense quite comfortably based upon his personnel. His successful 10 year NFL career as a CB/FS in the Bengals & Cowboys backfields certainly doesn't hurt.
Jason Michael as offensive coordinator is a big question mark for me. He has just 8 years NFL coaching experience, but none as an OC. Whisenhunt met him during his year in San Diego, and he was impressed enough with Jason to believe he can coach him up into the position. We'll see.
Offensive line coach Bob Bostad is another coach with very little NFL experience(two years as O-line coach for Tampa). His 23 years total coaching experience has seen him prepare for his shot in the NFL.
Defensive backs coach "Louie" Cioffi also came from the Browns and has 18 years NFL experience. He also coached under Whisenhunt in Arizona & should continue to do well.
Running backs coach Sylvester Croom was a steal with his excellent resume. He got the boot along with every other coach in Tampa after last season. Look for Dexter McCluster to reinvent himself this year with Croom's help.
First year special teams coordinator Nate Kaczor is another question mark. He's another rookie at his position, and the fact that he was kept from last years group of Tennessee coaches is surprising since this makes only his second year with the team, and only his 6th year as an NFL coach.
It appears that Ken Whisenhunt isn't afraid to give rookie coaches a shot at a new position, and is secure in his ability to bring them all together. Now all he needs to do to increase the Titans Fans excitement on line is to win, win, and win some more.

iSchool mourns passing of Dean Emeritus Robert S. Taylor
Margaret Spillett
(315) 443-1069
Robert S. Taylor, dean emeritus of the School of Information Studies at Syracuse University (iSchool), died Thursday, Jan. 1, at the Francis House in Syracuse after a lengthy illness. He was 90.
During his tenure from 1972-81, Taylor changed the SU School of Library Science into the School of Information Studies in 1974, broadening the scope of the school to more accurately reflect the future of libraries and information management in the then-newly emerging computer age.
Taylor also established the first M.S. in information resource management program (now information management), using language that was later adopted by the federal government when creating its information technology staff structure.
"Bob ushered traditional library schools into the Information Age," says iSchool Dean Elizabeth D. Liddy. "His visionary leadership set us on course to become the first information school in the nation. His contributions to the school and to the field are monumental and continue to influence the development of the increasingly pivotal field of information studies."
Two of his seminal works, "Question-Negotiation and Information-Seeking in Libraries" (Lehigh University, Center for the Information Sciences, 1967) and "Value Added Processes in Information Systems" (Ablex Publishing, 1986), continue to be quoted and relevant to shaping scholarly discussions today. His works have been donated to the SU Library's Special Collections Research Center, and his life is being chronicled in a biography by local writer Russ Tarby.
Among his many honors, Taylor was recognized in 1972 with the American Society for Information Science's Best Book Award for "The Making of a Library" (John Wiley & Sons Inc.). In 1992, he received the American Society for Information Science's highest recognition, the Award of Merit. In November 2008, the School of Information Studies Board of Advisors formally acknowledged his contributions with a resolution in his honor.
An Ithaca native, Taylor earned a bachelor's degree in history at Cornell University and worked for a short stint as a sports reporter before being drafted into the U.S. Army in 1942. He became a member of the Army Counter Intelligence Corps until returning to the United States in 1947.
Taylor earned an M.S. in library science from Columbia University in 1950. He was named a Fulbright Lecturer in 1956. He went on to work as a librarian, professor and director of information science at Lehigh University, and then a professor and director of the Library Center at Hampshire College.
Taylor was predeceased by his first wife, Leni Reichenberger Taylor, to whom he was married for nearly 50 years. He is survived by his second wife of 10 years, Fay Inman Taylor; his stepsons, Anton Reichenberger of Long Island; David Golden and wife Karen of Savannah, Ga.; Dan Golden of Hacienda Heights, Calif.; and grandsons William and Max Golden; as well as nieces and nephews, most of whom live in the Dallas area.
A memorial service is being planned at SU's Hendricks Chapel at a date to be announced.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Robert and Fay Taylor Scholarship at the SU School of Information Studies, 343 Hinds Hall, Syracuse, N.Y. 13244-4100; or to Francis House, 108 Michaels Ave., Syracuse, N.Y. 13208.
A remembrance site, where individuals can post a comment, can be found at http://ischool.syr.edu.

Apt: Exactly Suitable
- Location: New York, NY
- Website: apt-ny.com
UPDATE: In recent weeks, we've received email from many concerned readers who ordered products from APT-NY and have not received their order or a refund. Unfortunately, we don't have any information about APT-NY. Apartment Therapy has no affiliation with APT-NY. At one time, APT-NY advertised on our site, but their ads were placed through Google Ad Sense. Since they bought the ads through Google, we do not have a contact person there.
Filling the niche that is the affordable sofa which neatly turns into a spare bed, Apt arrived in SoHo just over a year ago. Their stuff is contemporary and stylish, with workmanship and pricing above Ikea and below DWR.
Apt specializes in convertible sofas and they have about 15 styles that convert in all sorts of cool ways. They also sell chairs, accessories and rugs. The main ingredient here is a foam core and the shapes may remind you of Ligne Roset, though they can sometimes turn super cheesy. We recommend picking and choosing your way through, but this is definitely a good resource for the youthful apartment dweller who wants an extra bed in the living room.

|Red dots signify happiness
The thing is, when we meet Walter he already has quite a lot of history behind him, something that really supports his actions and determines who he is. The flashbacks in the show just weren't enough. I'll try and point out what should have been dealt with during the making of the show.
So, imagine Walter, a young, successful chemist, with so many roads ahead of him, and a vision of the future that seems quite bright. He has a girl he's in love with, Gretchen, and he joins forces with his friend and colleague Eliot Schwartz to make Grey Matter Technologies. All seems well as we see Walter and Gretchen brooding on the components of a human being. However, there's a problem. Walter is not from a wealthy family; all he has he created with his own hands, using his brilliance. That is thrown in his face when he is to meet Gretchen's parents, who Walter sees as belonging to a higher class than himself. This thought troubles him (one thing you notice throughout the regular show is that Walter is always aware of his social status) to the point that he leaves Gretchen and the company he created. He feels out of place there and needs to run away. Now that must be quite a shock for him, especially when, later, his pride kicks in as he sees the company he left flourish and become highly successful. It certainly doesn't help that Gretchen, his former love of his life married Elliott, his former friend. All of this basically kills a part of Walter. He is torn into pieces and seeks comfort by recreating himself as a man who assimilates. That way he won't get hurt again; you can't fall down if you don't even try to fly. So he settles in a small home, with a small job, and a small family, far away from his previous life, far away from any glamour. Just when it seems enough time has passed, after he has submitted himself to the uneventful life, he gets cancer and his world starts falling apart. Everything comes back to him, all he once had, all that could have been, all that he is now - nothing that he will become!
Had we been acquainted with all that we would have realized how understandable Walter's further actions were. The glare in his eyes when he finds a new way of becoming successful (and by using his own hands and mind!), not wanting anything from Gretchen and Elliott, ever again, and all of his later re-awakening.
I know this first part probably wouldn't attract that many viewers, but I do believe it is necessary for understanding most of the show, and basically for giving it some depth (and quite a depth it is).

The answer to yesterday's mystery is … Trigeminal Neuralgia! Congrats to the following readers for guessing right: k, Mrs. Mac, Jim M, Ms. P, Angelita, MED, -R, F, Mark, Dave, Kate, Cihan, CB, Kim LaBounty, colleen (with a little c), Stefan, Linda M, Patricia W, Lathamguy, Ken, ColorMaven, Charlene, anna, TH, D, Donna A, Froggy, Carol H. Jewell, ED Doc, cgf, Erin, JP, Jonathan, and jack.
Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a disorder of the nerve that is responsible for sensation of the face, called the trigeminal nerve. Compression of the trigeminal nerve as it is exiting the brain can lead to aberrant firing of the nerve, with perception of pain in the area the nerve senses. There are three branches of the trigeminal nerve, #1 picking up sensations from the forehead, eye, and nose (ophthalmic), #2 sensing the cheek (maxillary), and #3 the chin (mandibular). Any combination of these branches can be affected in TN; our patient had both of the lower zones affected. The classic history for a patient with TN is repeated bouts of stabbing pain on one side of the face, triggered by touch, moving the face, or temperature.
TN is sometimes called the "suicide disease" because the facial pain is so severe. Luckily, the pain from TN is usually well controlled with medication like carbamazepine, which is actually an anti-seizure medicine. Cases of TN that are refractory to medical therapy may require surgery, in which physical decompression of the trigeminal nerve can be performed. Got questions about TN? Let me know in the comments section.
