College Office Hours
The following pages contain descriptions of all the courses offered at Lee College. The four letter rubric for a course identifies the subject area, for example HIST is History. The courses are listed in alphabetical order based on this rubric. Important information is contained within each course description: Semester Credit Hours (SCH), title, prerequisites and corequisites, lecture/laboratory/practicum/other hourly breakdown, and other course specific requirements or information.
Lee College participates in the Texas Common Course Numbering System which designates equivalent course content among many public and some private colleges and universities in the state of Texas. Its purpose is to assist students in making a smooth transfer from one postsecondary institution to another. However, the fact that a course is not part of the numbering system does not necessarily mean that it will not transfer or meet degree requirements.
Each course has an individual alphanumeric code (such as ENGL 1302 ). The alphabetic part of the code indicates the subject area.
The first number (of the four digit numbers) generally indicates the rank of the course:
1 – Freshman level or Beginning.
2 – Sophomore level or Advanced.
The second number indicates the number of SCH.
The third and fourth numbers are assigned to each course with some designating a required sequence of completion. See prerequisites for required order.
A prerequisite is a course that students are required to master before entering the described course. Students are expected to pass prerequisite courses with a C or better in order to enroll in the course. Some prerequisite courses (developmental courses) have placement score equivalences that allow students to demonstrate competency at the level expected by the prerequisite course. Prerequisites are an important feature of student preparation for success.
A corequisite course is taken simultaneously. The condition of corequisite enrollment requires completion of both courses. If for any reason a student is unable to complete the corequisite, the student will be withdrawn from the course as well. For this reason, it is best to enroll and complete corequisites in advance when possible, unless a program specifically calls for co-enrollment.
Students often require preparatory courses before enrolling in college level courses. At Lee College developmental courses are offered in English, Reading, and Mathematics.
All three subject areas have several levels of curriculum designed to provide students progression from current abilities to college readiness. Developmental courses do not transfer nor are they part of degree or certificate plans. Developmental course numbers begin with a zero and are displayed as a rubric followed by a three digit number (e.g., MATH 0310 is listed as MATH 310 ).
Ω Indicates courses taught with optional honors contracts.
Σ Indicates honors courses (see Enrollment Into Special Programs for more information on the honors program).

In the summer of 1928, Zora Neale Hurston conducted anthropological fieldwork near Mobile, Alabama at Africatown. The field site had been a suggestion of her academic advisor, Franz Boas, who proposed that she collect West African folklore from Africatown's most famous resident, Cudjo Lewis. Lewis, along with 109 other captive Africans, survived an Atlantic crossing aboard the Clotilda, the last documented slaver to make the Middle Passage. While reflecting on his 68 years on American soil and five years of enslavement, Lewis provided accounts of great loss; he had buried his three sons and his wife and longed to return to his boyhood home in Ghana. Lewis also described moments of great happiness such as when Confederates fled Mobile in April of 1865 and he recounted that …"After dey free us, you understand me, we so glad, we make de drum and beat it… [like we were on] African soil." The United Nations used this account in March of 2009 to commemorate the victims of the trans-Atlantic slavery and to illustrate resonate moments of Africans claiming their freedom. Despite early research interest by Hurston and recent attention by the United Nations, few attempts have been made to pose connections between Africatown and the African continent, describe the difficulties of forging a community within the post-Civil War American South, or compare Africatown with other 19th/20th century African Diaspora sites. Through fieldwork in January 2010 and again in the summer of 2010, members of the Africatown Archaeological Project worked to address these questions and aid the local descendant community in preserving cultural resources.
Dr. Neil Norman at Public Archaeology Day Discussing Research Methods at Old Plateau Cemetery, January 2010
From the outset project members adopted the client-based model proposed by Dr. Michael Blakey where community members define goals for fieldwork and approve methods. With virtual unanimity, stakeholders designated conservation, stabilization, and mapping at the Old Plateau Cemetery as the first priority. Several of the founders of Africatown are buried at Old Plateau, which makes it a point of pilgrimage and also potentially eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). After a series of community meetings in the summer of 2009, the goals of the project were threefold: 1) document and map the marked and unmarked graves located within the cemetery 2) stabilize graves that are in immediate threat of destruction, or are a danger to the public and 3) develop an initial preservation assessment for the cemetery.
Mr. Gary Autery aiding with excavations on his Great -Grandfather's homesite in Lewis Quarter
In the winter and summer of 2010, project team members cleared brush and monitored professional landscapers, who removed 20 years of overgrowth from the northern fifth of the cemetery. After clearing, ground penetrating radar and sub-surface probing were used to record unmarked graves. Project members then mapped grave-sites, recorded headstone information, and photographed each grave. In total, 1699 graves were documented using these techniques.
|Alix Martin and Shea Winsett mapping graves at Old Plateau Cemetery
Project members recorded four collapsed graves with visible human remains and three vandalized graves with exposed caskets. After consultation with local city officials, a mason was engaged to repair and repoint exposed burials. As part of the stabilization efforts, project members also developed a stabilization plan for the gravesite of Innie Keeby, a survivor of the Clotilda crossing. At the time of its recovery, the gravestone was in immediate danger of eroding down a steep slope. Project members designed a bulkhead to prevent further erosion. It is hoped that these emergency conservation efforts will stabilize vulnerable graves for several decades. In coming field seasons, we will monitor these efforts and attempt to provide more context to unnamed and unmarked graves. At two archaeological field-days in January and July 2010, Africatown community members helped to identify unnamed and unmarked graves. These efforts are ongoing through an interactive database on the Mobile African American Heritage Trail website, which aims to harness the power of crowdsourcing for archaeological problem solving.
Community stakeholders identified the second priority of fieldwork as archaeological survey and testing to evaluate the NRHP eligibility of early Africatown homesteads. Initial research revealed that the Peter Lee Site would be an excellent candidate for the NRHP in that it represents one of the vanishing few cases where we have documented evidence of house sites linked across the Atlantic diasporic divide. Gumpa, or Peter Lee as he was known in Mobile, was born into Dahomean royalty in the early 19th century. He was descended from Dahomean kings Glele and Benhazin. The royal house of Dahomey profited greatly from the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Today, palace complexes associated with the aforementioned kings are found at Abomey in the Republic of Benin, West Africa and listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites. However, Gumpa spent most of his life 90 km south of Abomey at the coastal trading center at Ouidah. He lived at the Dahomean administrative complex at Ouidah, which can be found today near the Catholic Basilica and Temple of the Python. On a daily basis, Gumpa managed the trade of captives and represented the Dahomean royal line in such exchanges. In 1860, Gumpa fell out of favor with his family in Abomey. As a punishment, Gumpa was traded into the Middle Passage aboard the slaver Clotida. Today, a family house still stands in Ouidah that relates to the royal line associated with Gumpa. Likewise, a chimney stands on the highest ground in Africatown that local oral history suggests relates to a house Gumpa built for himself and his newly-constituted family.

In Africatown, Gumpa served as a central political leader of the community. This was the case despite his association with the king of Glele, who many Clotilda survivors remember as the one who had commissioned raiders to capture the Clotilda group. The iconic chimney from Peter Lee's house serves as the only standing architectural feature associated with a Clotilda survivor and an element on the landscape that spurs recollections of Africatown's deeper past. In terms of archaeology, the chimney served as the center point of a systematic shovel test pit survey that revealed late 19th and early 20th century artifacts. Follow-up test unit excavation revealed numerous features including pit middens, sheet midden underneath the porch, and an articulated brick floor.
Project members used similar field methodology to investigate Lewis Quarter, a site remembered as the homestead of Charlie Lewis. Lewis was one of the survivors of the Clotilda crossing and served as a community leader of Africatown. According to family historian Mrs. Lorna Woods, Lewis Quarter grew rapidly in the late 19th century to accommodate approximately 20 families with marriage or kinship ties to the Lewis family.
Similar to the Peter Lee House site, Lewis Quarter exhibits intact archaeological features associated with survivors of the Clotilda crossing. In terms of connections to the African continent, excavators recovered a feature located below a hearth box that included railroad spikes, iron locks, numerous metal fasteners, glass bottles, and smoking pipes. This artifact cluster appears to be a structured deposit similar to other artifact clusters recovered from 19th century African Diaspora sites. The feature is provocative in that it may relate to a cosmological marker; however, much more research in the area will be required to confirm this isolated and preliminary finding. Nonetheless, given the prominent role of Charlie Lewis in local and world history, this site is an excellent candidate for the NRHP.

Members of the Africatown Archaeological team will be in the field in the summer of 2010 continuing investigations at the Lewis Quarter and beginning excavations at the Cudjo Lewis House site. The project has enjoyed funding from special grants from the Alabama State Historical Preservation Office, Mobile County Commissioner Merceria Ludgood, and the President of the Mobile African American Heritage Trail Dora Finley.

Get With the System
This story appears in the April 1999 issue of Business Start-Ups magazine. Subscribe »
Most often thought of as opportunities for new entrepreneurs to get into business, franchises are usually overlooked by seasoned business veterans. Established companies should think again, however, before they leave franchises solely to the newbies. Franchise companies are more than just start-up opportunities, they're also extensively networked buyers of products and services, and could be your ticket to a giant increase in sales as well as vast new markets you might not otherwise be able to tap.
That's the experience Dianne and Mike Dougherty had when they searched for--and found--a way to increase sales for their Atlanta business, Heavenly Cheesecakes Inc. Selling cheesecakes, key lime pies and other desserts to additional independent outlets wouldn't have boosted their revenues much beyond their 1992 level of $360,000. "To really grow, we needed a major account," says Dianne.
The account the Doughertys landed was Steak-Out Inc., an Atlanta franchise whose restaurants offer grilled meals. In January 1993, the couple signed a contract to supply 1,000 cheesecakes per week to the system's 50 franchisees. Within the same year, that one new account more than doubled Heavenly Cheesecakes' revenues to $893,000.
Since then, the Doughertys have developed similar vendor relationships with four other franchisors--Atlanta Bread Co., Italian Oven, Centra Archy Restaurant Group and Solomon Restaurant Group. The company's sales grew another 40 percent to $1.4 million in 1997, much of which the couple attributes to its franchise connections.
The story of Sol Arledge Jr., executive vice president of sales and marketing at Discount Labels Inc., his family's firm in New Albany, Indiana, is similar. In eight years, he has formed relationships with AlphaGraphics, Pip, Quick Print and 13 other printing franchise systems, propelling revenues from $5 million to $58 million.
Carla Goodman is a Sacramento, California, writer who covers small-business topics for a variety of national publications.
A Hot Ticket
What's fueling the franchise connection? In part, it's the franchise industry's own continued growth over the past 30 to 40 years, according to Robert Purvin, the board of trustees' chairman for the American Association of Franchisees and Dealers in San Diego. "We estimate there are 500,000 franchisee-owned units and an equal number of independent dealerships in the United States today," Purvin says.
Another factor is the uniformity of franchise systems. "If you become an approved vendor for a franchisor, you can automatically multiply the number of customers who are either required to buy from you or encouraged to buy from you," says Purvin. "For example, by selling to 1,000 units in a franchise system, you don't have to make 1,000 separate presentations to 1,000 different businesses.
"In addition," Purvin says, "most franchise systems have very aggressive supplier programs in which franchisees come together to amalgamate their collective buying power. Vendors sell directly to these franchisee co-ops. It's a great way to increase your sales potential."
Franchise systems--spread throughout some 60 different industries--are poised and receptive to vendors who can supply their needs. And they need it all: mailing labels and printing services; spices and cooking utensils; custom fleet van rentals; and accounting services. Franchise systems look for vendors that understand how their systems operate, know their specific needs, and are prepared to deliver products or services that meet exacting specifications and quality-control standards.
"If you think you can change the specifications or do something differently, you're dead wrong," says Dr. Robert Justis, a professor of franchising at Louisiana State University's Institute for Entrepreneurial Education and Family Business Studies. "But adhere to a franchisor's specifications and provide the best quality and the largest quantity you can, and you can make millions."
How It Works
Franchisors set strict specifications for products and services used by store owners. In most cases, however, owners can do business with any vendor that meets those specifications.
"We don't have many standardized products, except for wheat, which must be purchased from our approved vendor list to maintain quality control," says Janet Tatarka at Great Harvest Franchising Inc., a Dillon, Montana, bakery franchise that posted sales of $62 million in 1997. "Otherwise, we don't tell our 133 owners whom to buy from. They decide on their own."
Giving store owners the freedom to choose their own product lineup is an extension of Great Harvest's philosophy of developing a network of bakeries that reflect owners' individual personalities and communities. "We want Great Harvest stores to be known as community stores," Tatarka explains, "so we encourage owners to do business with their neighbors by using, for example, a local printer or honey supplier."
At AlphaGraphics, a Tucson, Arizona, printing services company with 360 franchises worldwide, franchisees enjoy similar freedom. "The store owners prefer corporate-approved vendors because it takes the worry out of the selection process," says Emmy Carter, AlphaGraphics' vendor services manager. "They're not obligated to use vendors from our list, however. They can choose whomever they want."
To help store owners make the best selections, AlphaGraphics has developed a three-tiered vendor list, an approach offered by many franchise systems. At the lowest rung are vendors whose product samples have been reviewed but not necessarily approved by the franchisor. Next are approved vendors--those whose products or services have been used successfully by store owners for at least six months and have passed the franchisor's quality tests and reference checks.
"If a franchisee wants competitive bids, I'll offer names off our approved-vendor list. I might also give out names of other vendors if I've reviewed their product samples," says Carter. The advantages of having your name on AlphaGraphics' approved-vendor list are worth noting: easier communication within the franchise system, access to a list of its franchisees and an invitation to participate in trade shows at annual franchisee meetings.
On the top tier are designated suppliers, vendors who've passed a franchisor's rigorous examination for product quality, customer service and reliability. Some franchisors require store owners to purchase from designated suppliers. At AlphaGraphics, owners are only encouraged to do so.
"In product categories where franchisees make repeated requests for vendor referrals, such as three-ring binders, labels and presentation folders, we've established national agreements with the vendors we feel can do the best job," Carter explains. "Franchisees aren't obligated to buy from those vendors, but we don't actively promote any other vendors in those product categories."
Naturally, exclusivity as a designated supplier can do plenty to boost sales. Notes Arledge, who got the corporate designated-supplier nod in AlphaGraphics' label category, "Individual store owners can choose whom to use, but when you get [the franchisor's] blessing, most store owners follow it."
It is the degree of freedom around the lower rungs, though, that allows suppliers to get into the system. Getting your foot in the door of a franchise system often starts with convincing individual franchisees--not the franchisor--that your product or service will make his or her business more efficient, more profitable and more customer driven.
On the way to earning designated-supplier status from AlphaGraphics, Arledge built one-on-one relationships with approximately one-third of the company's franchisees, showing each owner a detailed plan of how Discount Labels could handle his or her needs. With the backing of such a large number of franchisees, Arledge approached the franchisor's corporate office to show how his company could improve operations systemwide.
"Have a plan," advises Arledge. "If you're going to do nothing more than beg for sales, you'll have a hard time with a franchise company."
Another way to get inside a franchise system is through a purchasing cooperative organized by franchisees within a particular system. The co-op buys products in bulk at a lower unit cost and resells them on a national basis to its members.
"These purchasing groups are well organized and deliver huge numbers of purchases," explains Andrew A. Caffey, a lawyer in the Washington, DC, area who specializes in franchise law and a former general counsel of the International Franchise Association. "They're very competitive and are, of course, looking for the best price and delivery terms." Purchasing groups also have strict quality standards and product specifications that mirror those of the franchisor.
Measuring Up
Franchise systems can be tough taskmasters when it comes to vendor approval. At AlphaGraphics, products must be free of defects and delivered on time at the negotiated cost. In addition, product or service problems must be resolved immediately by the vendor. "We're in a custom manufacturing business," Carter says, "where there's a higher margin for error than in industries where products or services are standardized. When something goes wrong, we want to see to what lengths a vendor will go, regardless of who's at fault, to satisfy the store owner, our customer."
While not all franchise systems are as demanding, each expects quality and consistency, two requirements that can challenge a small firm when it's suddenly inundated with orders. The Doughertys went from producing 400 cheesecakes a week to 1,000 when they signed their initial contract with Steak-Out. "We had to buckle down," Diane says, "promote reliable people and ensure that quality control standards were maintained at all times."
Having the physical capability and financial resources to fill orders on demand can be more challenging than you might at first realize, Caffey cautions. "It might mean adopting product-handling, storage and preparation procedures that aren't required by your other customers," he explains. "In addition, there are upfront costs associated with becoming a specialty supplier to a franchise system."
The Doughertys invested $120,000 in new ovens, freezers and other equipment, and moved from their 1,800-square-foot site to a 16,000-square-foot commercial facility. They also increased their staff from four to 17. Fortunately, with the help of their signed contract from Steak-Out, the Doughertys persuaded the SBA to lend them money for the expansion.
A Little Legwork
Now that you know how the system works, how can you go about making a golden connection? First, do a little research. Determine which industry is best suited for your business and get a list of all the franchise companies in that industry.
For the sake of convenience, narrow your focus to franchise companies in your state or region. Review each company's growth pattern for the past three to four years. How many new units have been added? Are revenues increasing significantly? Of the newest companies on the list, which appear to be growing the fastest? Select one or two companies with the best growth records.
Call the corporate offices, and ask the person in charge of vendor relations for a list of franchisees in your area and a list of approved suppliers. Find out what the specifications are for your product or service and how a designated vendor is selected. Will the franchisor want to inspect your facility? Will it charge you a fee to review your vendor application?
Finally, call individual franchisees to introduce your firm and learn about their specific needs in reducing costs, maintaining quality control and improving customer service. "If a vendor contacts us and we believe in what he's selling, we'll give him a list of bakery owners he can contact," says Tatarka. "But it's still up to the vendor to call a franchisee and develop a relationship."
Growing Hand in Hand
If you can meet the challenges of selling to franchises, you'll be rewarded. When the Doughertys first signed on with Steak-Out, their firm was supplying desserts to 47 outlets. Today, it's supplying desserts to nearly twice that many Steak-Out restaurants alone. "We're growing right along with them," says Dianne.
Making the franchise connection can benefit your firm in other ways. Notes Arledge, "If you can handle a franchisor's demands for quality and service, it'll make your firm better able to handle anyone's business."

Emaciated teen's parents in Georgia court, charged with cruelty, false imprisonment
DALLAS, Ga. -- A detective says an emaciated teenager who said he'd been confined for years with little food was so malnourished he still had baby teeth at age 18.
Detective Kevin Morgan with the Paulding County Sheriff's Office testified that Mitch Comer was so small and slight that Morgan thought the teen was 12 years old.
His testimony came during a probable cause hearing for Paul and Sheila Comer in Paulding County Magistrate Court. The Comers were arrested last month and accused of abusing 18-year-old Mitch Comer. He weighed 87 pounds when he was found in Los Angeles.
The Comers, dressed in orange and white striped jail suits, were seated at a table with their lawyers.
The Comers face charges of false imprisonment and cruelty to children.

Also: New music from The Faint, The-Dream, Wiz Khalifa + The Weeknd and more.
Yo La Tengo - "Before We Run"
Pressing play on this incredible new Yo La Tengo song ranks up there with that Field Report concert at Rumba in the running for my most marvelous musical experience of the week. Fade is out Jan. 15 on Matador, and it can't come soon enough.
The-Dream - "AK47"
Few men have sung so sweetly about a gun. This is culled from the forthcoming commercial version of The-Dream's 1977 mixtape from last year, which is coming out Dec. 18 courtesy of Radio Killa/Def Jam.
Trent Reznor - "Call of Duty: Black Ops II Theme"
What if I told you Trent Reznor's theme from Call of Duty: Black Ops II is on some straight-up The Fragile-style creeping onminousness? Would that make you want to buy the game more? This is way better than the How to destroy angels_ stuff in my book. Now how about some of that new NIN we've been hearing about?
Wiz Khalifa featuring The Weeknd - "Remember You"
Speaking of creepy music: Maybe it's prudish, but a line like "Girl, take pride in what you wanna do/ Even if that means a new man every night inside of you" seems, um, unsettling. Yep, this one feels like a Weeknd song featuring Wiz, not the other way around. But it's going on the new Wiz album O.N.I.F.C. coming Dec. 4 on Atlantic/Rostrum, which is now 2-for-2 on singles in my book after this one and the quality pop-rap of "Work Hard Play Hard."
Jamie Lidell - "What a Shame"
Jamie Lidell was toying around with new takes on classic R&B sounds long before this year's bumper crop of artful urban crooners (see above). Though he skewed towards the middle there for a few years, "What a Shame" is bursting with energy and new ideas. It's got me curious to hear the rest of the self-titled album Lidell is releasing Feb. 19 via Warp.
Freddie Gibbs - "BFK"
Supposedly the officer who let his police car be filmed for this video got demoted. Sad news him, but we all have to make sacrifices for authenticity, right? As for the music, Gangsta Gibbs just keeps killing it (and hopefully just in a metaphorical sense). Baby Face Killa is out now for free.
Eat Skull - "Where'd You Go"
Pacific Northwest punk band Eat Skull was responsible for one of my favorite songs from back when "shitgaze" was a buzzword, 2009's "Stick to the Formula." They've been relatively quiet since then, but they'll be back this winter with a new album on Woodsist. The aptly titled "Where'd You Go" is on a single coming Dec. 11 in advance of the LP.
Angel Haze - "Gimme That" (produced by Lunice)
Angel Haze is the best new rapper I've heard this year, and Lunice is one of the guys behind this, so "Gimme That" is pretty much a no-brainer for Jams of the Week. It comes courtesy of Adidas Originals and Your Truly's "Songs From Scratch" series.
Stumbleine - "Honeycomb"
Not much to say about this one, so just enjoy glorious dreampop from a UK project to keep an eye on. Debut album Spiderwebbed is out this week on Monotreme Records.
The Faint - "Evil Voices"
Lastly, I never really got into Danse Macabre, the decade-old underground sensation The Faint is currently performing in full on tour. But for all of you out there who did, here's a new song from the Omaha dance-punks. TheDanse Macabre reissue drops Nov. 19 on Saddle Creek, while this song is from a tour-only EP.

Abbility to Change RATE OF FIRE (betwen 2 rates, 15 and 25 for example) directly by pressing program button
Quote from: Cainxxx on Jun 07, 2012, 06:45 pmAbbility to Change RATE OF FIRE (betwen 2 rates, 15 and 25 for example) directly by pressing program buttonThe new version 0.6 now supports Presets which will accomplish this. The new programming allows you to configure 3 complete seperate firing configurations (firing mode, firing rate, and burst size). To toggle through the presets, you press the tactical button when the gun is on. The LED will flash green indicating which preset you are in (one flash for preset #1, two flashes for preset #2, and three flashed for preset #3).Instructions for configuring the presets are on the wiki:http://code.google.com/p/phenomx7-etrigger/wiki/Home
The 98 pro / A5 board is not nearly similar to the x7 / Phenom family. I disassembled it and recognized absolutely zero major components.
The hardest challenge would presumably be swapping the mechanical mode on the Phenom eGrip with a semi-auto mode (or another slot for programmable firing modes, like on the APE board). Without modifications, I presume the board will either default to the programmed setting, not function on semi-auto, or not function at all. Murphy's Law tells me it's the latter...
I agree. My neighbor has an eGrip for the A5 and it didn't seem to be powered by a Atmel chip. I wasn't able to get too close, but I would guess by the switches used to modify the firing modes, that it is not powered by a microcontroller.
In the Phenom board, there are three electromagnetic relays that are used to turn on the board, and sense when the trigger is pulled. I may have been wrong in how I'm using them (it has been a burning question in my head since I started). Out of the 3 relays, I'm utilizing 1 of them. 2 of the relays appear to be identical; they sense when the trigger is pulled. The other relay does not appear to connect directly to the micro controller (it is used to power the board).On the Phenom, there is a rare earth magnet in the safety switch. When the switch is rotated to full auto, the magnet activates a relay to power on the board. I'm not sure how an APE board is powered on for the x7. It's possible that their board has another relay to sense the mechanical safety-switch position as well as full auto. In other words, this may not be possible for the x7 or Phenom without modifying the hardware on the board.

If you're a fan of Slice (and share our sense of humor), you're probably familiar with Nedroid and its particular brand of off-kilter comedy. Stars Reginald and Beartato also happen to be especial fans of pizza, as is made abundantly clear in this particular strip. What's the key ingredient to any well-rounded salad? A bowl of pizzas, obviously. Check out some more Nedroid pizza comics here.
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (SMBC) by Zach Weinersmith is another pretty stellar option for your daily webcomic fix, and this depressingly, wonderfully true gem is no exception.
Because seriously, if that pizza box is just a prop...get out.

The Regis Dialogue and Retrospective program, now in its 22nd year, has brought some of today's most innovative and influential filmmakers to the Walker Cinema to talk in-depth about their work. Claire Denis joins writer/critic Eric Hynes in a discussion of her creative process, influences, and the films she's made over the course of some 25 years.
Denis is one of the distinctive filmmakers working today, but she started her career first as an assistant to Jacques Rivette, Roberto Enrico, and Costa-Gavras, then as assistant director to Wim Wenders and Jim Jarmusch, who have both influenced Denis' minimal dialogue and penchant for slow-paced narratives. Ongoing collaboration with a preferred cast, including Alex Descas, Isaach de Bankolé, Béatrice Dalle, Grégoire Colin, and Vincent Gallo, as well as cinematographer Agnès Godard and the English cult-band Tindersticks, creates an atypical signature to her films.
Hynes, a New York–based film critic and reporter, writes regularly for the Village Voice, Time Out New York, and Slate.com as well as Cinema Scope, Film Comment, Artforum, the Guardian (US), and the New York Times. He has been a staff writer for the online film journal Reverse Shot since 2003, where he's also the host and coproducer of the Reverse Shot Talkies video series.
The Walker Art Center has a long history of supporting Claire Denis' films, starting with a retrospective in 1998 and continuing with the screenings of Beau travail in 2000, Friday Night in 2003, Vers Mathilde in 2006, and 35 Shots of Rum in 2010, all as a part of the Women with Vision program.

Steve Carell's final "Office" party won't be the finale.
The NBC comedy's executive producer, Greg Daniels, told The Associated Press Michael Scott's character will be off the show before the season ends in May. The final episodes of the season will focus on the scrambling to replace him at the Scranton branch of the mythical Dunder Mifflin paper company.
Carell had said previously that he was quitting "The Office" to concentrate on his movie career. But NBC plans to press on without him.
U.S. & World
NBC said Friday that Carell will leave with four episodes left in the season. That means his farewell episode will most likely come in April.
"It was about focusing the spring on the office and everybody else, and not just a character going," producer Paul Lieberstein, who also plays Toby, told Vulture. "If the show was ending, it would be about that. But it's not."
EW.com and HitFix reported the final four episodes will focus on the characters Darryl, Dwight and Andy vying for power.
But it could be the new boss will be none of the above. Lieberstein told The Wrap the new Michael will be "cooler" than Carell's bumbling character.
Still he cautioned, "most people are cooler than Michael Scott."

Consider Relief of Unemployed. WASHINGTON, Mar. 24—(UP) —An extra session of congress to consider problems of farm relief and unemployment was suggested today by Senator Gerald P. Nye, Repn., N. D. While Republican leaders do not share Nye's advocacy of an extra session, the farm relief problem, intensified by the federal farm board announcement that lt would not enter the market for 1931 wheat, will be one of the most im portant matters to be put before President Hoover when he returns from his Caribbean cruise. Until the President's return, the attitude of the administration will not be known. The Bentiment of congressional leaders from the agricultural aectionB, however, appeared to be crystallizing ln favor of an experiment with the twice-vetoed equalization fee method of dealing with surplus crops. Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, disturbed by varloua interpret* tlons of the market reaction to the announcement of a curtailment of stabilization purchases, issued a Btatement late today describing as erroneous any Impression that the bottom haa dropped out of wheat prices.

Carmel, Indiana, United States / December 21, 2011
Todd Miller earned 648 points by playing the word "OXYPHENBUTAZONE" in Words With Friends.
- screenshot or video evidence must be provided
- free and paid versions of the game are acceptable
- may be played on any platform or mobile device
Carol Bednar-Burgas
My highest scoring word was bedplate for 155 points and I was thrilled. Todd Miller must have been over the moon!
Stuart Klimek
The play of OXYPHENBUTAZONE, of course, is contrived. What is interesting is that it is not the highest possible. One can score nearly 300 points more with MERCAPTOPURINES. The four-tile play of OXYPHENBUTAZONE uses only two word multipliers, while MERCAPTOPURINES may be played to use three: (M)er(C)apt(O)purine(S). In addition, three crosswords may also be multiplied instead of two, and the additional word multiplier is triple word multiplier.
Stuart Klimek
P.S. To Alex Cunningham. If you would like a solution to the 900+ play, I would be willing to email it to you. I know it can be formed in cooperative play, just as easy as the OXYPHENBUTAZONE recreation.
Stuart Klimek
One of the highest, if not the highest possible four-tile play on "Words with Friends" is MERCAPTOPURINES with the crosswords: AMBISEXUALITY (or SUBMAXILLARY), ACQUIESCENTLY, FOREJUDGING, and NEWSMAGAZINES. MERCAPTOPURINES, with the C on a triple-letter square and the M, O, and S on word multipliers, has a solo-value that is the beast number, 666. AMBISEXUALTIY (or SUBMAXILLARY), with the M on a triple-word square, has a value of 90. ACQUIESCENTLY, with the C on a triple-letter square, has a value of 41. FOREJUDGING, with the O on a double-word square, has a value of 60. NEWSMAGAZINES, with the S on a triple-letter square, has a value of 96. The combined total for the play of the letters of COSM, forming the above given words, is 953. I've submitted an attempt that uses MERCAPTOPURINES, yet it is not this high.
Austin N
The criteria for this record was changed when Todd submitted. This thread was originally for the highest scoring 4 letter word. The 4 played tiles must connect to spell a 4 letter word, any subsequent words from that 4 letter word are bonuses. Todd is a hack and should be stripped. Oh well. Not trying to be a nag, just stating facts.
Stuart Klimek
As to the criteria you have indicated, the highest scoring word would be greater or equal to 292 points, as this can be accomplished with the word QUIZ played horizontally with the Q played on a triple letter square and the Z on a triple word square in the upper right quadrant of the board (or vertically in the lower left quadrant) with the bonus words of sheqel, burials, moire and benzanthracenes. (In addition to the five words, the preparatory words she, el, rials, mo, re, ben, and anthracenes can all be found in the ENABLE [WwF] Lexicon, and can be formed in valid play. One might note that the word sheqels, available in the TWL, which could increase the score by a point, surprisingly, is absent from the ENABLE Lexicon). A higher scoring 4-letter word may be possible.
Stuart Klimek
Oh, I see you already had accomplished this with JEUX. Nice Job. I do see, though, that it can be beat. :-)
Stuart Klimek
Found a solution for 309.
Jasmine Theriot
Awesome job austin... Enthan stop crying like a little B. Talk is cheap. Set your own record.
Word Friends
Its really an addictive game..I downloaded it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab..Many played this game even my boss played this game..Its fun and interesting..I use the ANAGRAMMER to give me some hints if I'm having a hard time..
Blake Bell
this seems suspicious because it is the same exact set up as the one with most points. How is it possible that you can get the same exact letters and same exact set up?
Jason Teuber
Austin N taking credit for Todd Miller's score and everyone ignores him. Troll fail.
Matt Sandford
Knowing that u can put total bull.... Stuff like this and get the record tells me that I'm never using this website again
Alex Cunningham
Pure awesomeness.
Ethan Losier
Because it was deleted after we started debtating this.
Austin N
Please just take this opportunity to bask in my awesomeness....instead of hating.
Austin N
Huh, must of missed reading that in the fine print. Oh wait I remember. It doesn't say that!
Ethan Losier
Ethan Losier
The fact that you set it up yourself and then say you have done it the best. It doesnt matter if it is or isnt impractical, the point is that you did it against your self not agianst another player. This record is about having a better word than anyone else using four tiles by playing against someone else, before it was changes.
Austin N
Ethan, why are you so determined to debunk my record? Like I said earlier, I could of just used my wife's phone and made the same play. Also, I'm confident that the only way to have made a play like mine in a real game is if you were playing a complete moron and couldn't read the telegraphing plays that lead to the setup. This play was solid, just like oxyphenbutazone. Monster words cannot be played in real games. It's way too impractical.
Ethan Losier
Oh and this is the only guy in the history of the record who played a "2 player" game against himself or someone sitting right next to him.
Ethan Losier
Oh and this is the only guy in the history of the record who played a "2 player" game against himself or someone sitting right next to him.
Ethan Losier
Its the same problem with the "Highest Single Move 'Words with Friends' Score". Its impressive but not an actual record.
Ethan Losier
Ethan Losier
Exactly why it is a record, if you play a match on your ipod, android, or cell phone against yourself you can plan out your moves accordinglu to the word that you want to make. There is no absolute way to find out if it was against someone who was there, or if it was against himself. To set a record it must be hard to achieve, this is simply too easy. If you do it online against another player, then it should be eligible. If it is against "Player 2", a player that we cannot determine if it is a single player game or not, then it should not be accepted as a record.
Dan Rollman
Ethan, how do you suggest we succeed in genuinely measuring this? I'm not opposed to you spiritually, but beyond live competitions in which participants are paired with strangers and forced not to communicate, I have no clue how we could enforce such rules. We gave a lot of thought to this challenge before opening it up as we have.
Austin N
Thats exactly it... It's a puzzle that you can make your pieces to. Large scores such as mine are impractical in a legit game because you'd have to play a complete retard. I could of used my wife's phone and played the same board.
Ethan Losier
The last guy did not have a 2 player game.
Ethan Losier
you can obviously see that it says: "E6Hatred 387 Player 2 264"
It was a two player game and should be rejected you need to do this online or any body could set it up!
Dan Rollman
I'm with Austin. There's no way to confirm two-person games. In fact, I'm going to remove that from criteria. Awesome play!
Jennifer Wark
What if you don't have the "z"?
Austin N
Yea, so did the last guy... You don't spell 'oosperms' one letter short of the triple word... It was rigged.
Ethan Losier
thats cheap u played against yourself.
Ethan Losier
Well damn lol
Jennifer Wark
Nicely done!

Paperless High School Newspapers!
They get it. They fundamentally understand this paperless thing. That's not to say they understand what to do with it any more than any of us do. But, for the most part, if you are under the age of 18, you pretty much 'get' the paperless thing.
We're talking about high schools full of kids who've never bought a CD, let alone an LP or cassette. We're talking about kids who get their movies, games, and entertainment via a browser. We're talking about kids who have no idea what a card catalog is and for whom the 'address' of a publication naturally implies its url.
So, why would we think they'd have any problem going online when it comes to that most storied of high school publications: the student newspaper?
Our kids here at school have just gone to an online edition. And immediately, the buzz around here has been about the RSS feed, subscriptions beyond the immediate school community, and the future of editorial and opinion blogs.
This is all good stuff. High schoolers are online; so why shouldn't high school life be online? For so long we heard nothing but fretful trepidation when it came to student behavior online (as though ignoring it would make it go away). Now, students are creating content and publishing and building audiences on their own terms on the Web.
And that's the way it should be.
Especially with a student newspaper. Because you don't join the newspaper to learn about newspapers; you join the newspaper to make newspapers (the learning is inherent in the doing).
Furthermore, now that the paper is online, it's the kids themselves who are going to prove their worth. They are going to be the ones who demonstrate to all of us what it means to be a digital citizen. No one has to mediate for them; no one has to tell us what kids think.
They are doing it themselves.
They get it.
And in an age when the pro newspapers are still trying to figure out what's going on, it's great to see kids who already get it.

I just clicked over to the JC Patriot. What a sharp-looking and well-written newspaper you've got there.ReplyDelete
I am thinking about helping out with my school's newspaper and would like to take it online as well. I am curious, what platform are you using for the site? WP, Blogger? Do you know of any other examples of high school newspapers online. Thanks in advance.
Our student written school newspaper went paperless this fall. They do get it and they are doing a great job!ReplyDelete
Lucky You!!ReplyDelete
Over here, we're still struggling to explain to those with a bit of power that going online does not mean the demise of the teaching profession.
Everymorning, I come to my class extra early, I turn my computer on and I read your posts for inspiration.
big thank you
Our student news is online also. I hesitate to call it a newsPAPER because there is no paper edition. We get out new stories 3 times a week and if have fledgling broadcast arm. Here is the urlReplyDelete
Great, positive comments. I have a new student this year to the seven student journalism class. Her school had gone on line with it's newspaper in the last couple of years. She said than hardly any of the kids read it. How are you tracking your readership?ReplyDelete
We just took our newspaper online last year. We went through a couple different free Wordpress templates before I decided to pay $80 for a custom URL and a wordpress.org install. cchsstart.com. We are starting to hit our stride publishing wise, now we have to concentrate on driving traffic to the site.ReplyDelete
Just found this site, thanks! I started teaching journalism this year in California, and we launched a 100% online "paper" two weeks ago. http://thefoothiildragon.orgReplyDelete
I decided to use joomla open source content management system. It was a bear to learn, i.e. self-teach, but I'm very happy with the result.
I also posted up a video about our program titled "We don't use paper for this." You can find it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSNYH5FZH4A
I have a blog at http://westegg.edublogs.org
Can't wait to dig into this site. Oh, and I'm insanely jealous of the red dots on your ClustrMap hit counter! We have one on the news site and I get so excited every time another red dot shows up. Yours is amazing!

Once again, America's leading political dynasties are holding high the family standard in an election year.
In Massachusetts, another Kennedy is racing toward Congress. This time, it's Democrat Joseph P. Kennedy III, the grandson of the late Robert F. Kennedy, hoping to fill the vacancy of retiring Rep. Barney Frank.
"I'm very proud of my family's record of public service to the Commonwealth and the country," the young Mr. Kennedy has said. I don't doubt his desire for service, but he's also trading on the family name – and fundraising and other powers and privileges that go with it. That's not what the Founders envisioned for the new republic.
Meanwhile, in Texas and Florida, the Bushes are using their endorsement clout in an attempt to wrap up the messy Republican primary. It's time for "the party to get behind" Mitt Romney, former President George H.W. Bush says.
His wife, Barbara – who referred to her son George W. as "the chosen one" before he even became president – has recorded a robocall for Mr. Romney's campaign. Jeb Bush, another son and a former governor of Florida, has also endorsed Romney.
(A reasonable question: If Romney loses to Obama, will Jeb run in 2016? It's a job he has said he has wanted since he was a kid.)
The United States has seen its share of political families: the Adamses, at the beginning, and in modern times, the Browns of California; the Cuomos of New York; the Daleys of Chicago; Ron Paul and his son Rand, now a US senator from Kentucky; not to mention Romney and his late governor father, George.
But over the past half century, no two families have been as powerful as the Bushes and Kennedys. They share deep New England roots and a seeming sense of entitlement to the White House.
The Kennedy taste for dynastic prerogative has at times been shameless. Sen. Robert Kennedy challenged a sitting president of his own party and tried to seize the presidential nomination – seeking to recapture his brother John's lost legacy and rekindle the myth of Camelot. (Parallels can be drawn with the younger Bush president in attempting to finish off his father's war with Saddam Hussein's Iraq.)
Even after the Kennedys suffered two assassinations, the family's ambition continued to soar. Brother Edward tried (and failed) to unseat his party's president, Democrat Jimmy Carter. So strong was the family's belief that the White House belonged to them, that a defeated Teddy petulantly refused to shake hands with President Carter at the 1980 Democratic convention.
The youngest Kennedy brother never made it to the Oval Office, but he helped Barack Obama get there, acting as kingmaker along with his niece Caroline, as they pointedly favored Mr. Obama over Hillary Rodham Clinton (from a would-be dynasty).
This practice of hereditary ambition and home-grown royalty betrays a basic premise of the American Revolution, "that all men are created equal."
Andrew Jackson's defeat of incumbent John Quincy Adams swept away much of our earlier faith in ruling families, and successive waves of immigrants made a mockery of it.
The Europeans spent centuries, sometimes knee-deep in blood, eliminating czars and kings.
Yet in the past 50 years in America, we have had to ride out allegations of rape, manslaughter, drug abuse, infidelity, and drunkenness in our "royal families," overlooking all this on the medieval assumption that those with better bloodlines are somehow beyond reproach or the law.
And, like kings of old, today's royals seek to maintain position and power by plying supporters, friends, and family with gifts, whether they be tax breaks or cabinet posts. At their peril, they forget that stability in any kingdom involved a delicate balance between the crown and nobility, and the people.
The republic could again use the same disdain for pretense employed by an earlier patriot who once said he wished that "wadding of the cannon fired to salute President [John] Adams would hit him in the seat of the pants."
The progeny of political families will likely ever seek political power – and the public may well respond with a certain star-struck awe and hope for favorable treatment. But in this country, we ought to judge a candidate on merit. That's what we were raised on.
Walter Rodgers is a former senior international correspondent for CNN.

San Jose Jazz has scored a major coup by lining up Robert Glasper and Vijay Iyer for its annual Winter Fest in early March.
Both Glasper and Iyer are among the top young guns in jazz. Glasper received two Grammy nominations for his album "Black Radio" which not only made many best-of-2012 lists but also crossed over into the R&B market and raised his profile to include an appearance on "The Tonight Show." Iyer's most recent album, "Accelerando," also made many top 10 list at the end of the year.
Glasper will do two sets at Winter Fest, both on March 9 at San Jose's intimate Theatre on San Pedro Square. Iyer will be at the theater (the main venue for the festival) on March 15.
Other highlights of the Winter Fest are jazz-hip hop vocalist José James (who often performs with Glasper) on March 8, blues artist Carolyn Wonderland and trumpeter Sean Jones on March 9 and the Tony Monaco Trio on March 10, all at the Theatre on San Pedro Square. There will also be dance parties at the San Pedro Square Market on March 8 (the very hot salsa band Rumbaché) and March 9 (Andre Thierry & Zydeco Magic, Delhi 2 Dublin).
On March 9: the chance to hear some young, up-and-coming talent as the Latin Jazz Youth Ensemble of San Francisco, the San Jose State University Jazz Orchestra and the San Jose Jazz High School All Stars all give performances at the Market. And March 8 and 9, there will be a Club Crawl with bands playing at restaurants and bars in the San Pedro Square area.
Tickets — ranging from $10 to $35, depending on the event — will be available at www.sanjosejazz.org. There will be ticket discounts for San Jose Jazz members.
