What to buy?
The Wii U isn't known for its vastly extensive games library but that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of gems you should be playing. In order to keep you in the know, we've ranked the best 25 games to own for the system, taking into account quality, use of the system's unique features, and other intangibles. This is a living list, but as of right now here are the best Wii U games.
It's worth noting too that it's fairly quiet on the Wii U front at the moment, which means now is the time to hoover up some bargains.
25. Wii Party U
is yet another mini-game collection on a Wii system, but its a well-made one. Like the first Wii Party, its Mario Party-like in structure, but a bit more free-form. You can choose to play the included mini-games in the familiar board game format, but its not really the focus here. Basically, Wii Party U is about getting in and watching your Miis do crazy stuff like ride bikes on really narrow paths.
The fact that Wii Party U is actually made by Nintendo really does show, and it makes the game worth a look on its own. But if you dont believe me, take a look at some of Wii Party Us innovative and exciting mini-games, many of which make unique use of the Wii U Gamepad. One, for example, has you using the Gamepad like a cocktail arcade cabinet, with two players each using half of the controller to play a top-down soccer game. Pretty cool.
24. Wii Fit U
You can look at Wii Fit U as nothing more than a cheap cash-in on the success of the original Wii Fit. But if you take the time to see Wii Fit U for its better aspects, youll discover its a charming game that carries Nintendos trademark polish. Yes, it is absolutely a fitness program first (a good one, at that), but it has considerable gameplay merit as well, and Nintendo is probably the only company that could be reasonably expected to pull that feat off.
As this Wii U update goes, it doesnt bring all that much new content to the table, but it does allow you to import data from the original game, if you have any. And, if youre a newcomer, youll find plenty here to keep you entertained as you work towards your fitness goals. With , Nintendo has yet again succeeded at an admirable goal.
23. Lego City: Undercover
We've heard you joking, saying, "someone should make Lego Grand Theft Auto!" whenever a new Lego game was announced. You never expected anyone to do it, did you? But then, all of a sudden, Traveller's Tales actually did it--and it was super good. includes a massive city to explore and all the charm Lego games are known for, all without the M rating open-world crime games usually get. Instead, it's a fun trip through a blocky city that anyone can enjoy, filled with things to build and people to save.
Exploring the world as Chase McCain is a ton of fun, and being able to change into eight different outfits to take on new jobs adds plenty of gameplay variety. Donning an astronaut costume will let you zoom around in a jetpack (because apparently astronauts have jetpacks), and dressing as a firefighter allows you to put out fires you find in the open world. Though you'll likely miss co-op, which was oddly omitted from Lego City, there's a good chance you'll be distracted enough by the dozens of hours of content that you'll barely notice it's missing.
22. The Wonderful 101
Don't mistake for some sort of group-management game like Pikmin--this is a full-on action game wrapped in a Viewtiful Joe disguise. You control a superhero in a wonderfully realized world full of sass and puns (no surprise considering The Wonderful 101 comes from Platinum Games, the team behind Bayonetta). With dozens of followers under your command, you must save the world one GamePad stroke at a time.
See, your superhero can command his followers to form giant weapons--whips, swords, etc--which is done by drawing the corresponding shape of said weapon on the GamePad's touchscreen. While this is a great use of the Wii U's unique controller, in practice it can be rather difficult to draw certain shapes on the fly while simultaneously dodging attacks onscreen. Still, The Wonderful 101 is packed with charm and humor in equal measure, and even though its gameplay doesn't always translate into fun, it's a mostly enjoyable adventure all the same.
21. ZombiU
Ubi's surprise launch day hit is still as terrifying as it was back in 2012. London has been hit by the zombie virus and you're one of the few survivors out there who hasn't turned into a brain hungry staggering fiend. It's not like zombies haven't been done to, well, death but ZombiU manages to crank up the tension in a number of ways. It's permadeath for one thing. Send your intrepid survivor out into London town and die and you'll restart as another person entirely, complete with backstory. All that's left of your previous character is a shambling corpse and one that you'll probably have to kill if you want your precious rucksack of stuff back.
ZombiU is brutal and nasty. Survival is difficult, weapons are scarce, but a lot of the fear stems from some terrifyingly inventive uses of the gamepad. While you're rummaging around in your rucksack for loot, you're prime zombie munching fodder so every gaze into your inventory is a serious risk. Looting enemies and sniping is all done through the gamepad too so it all genuinely feels designed for the console instead of shoe horned in. Officially the scariest game on Wii U.
20. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze,
If you've ever played the Donkey Kong Country series on Super Nintendo, you know that those games are hard. Yet despite the fact that you will die again, and again, and again, it never seems so bad because the challenge is fair, and even the trickiest platforming section feels conquerable with enough effort. That same spirit of sublime difficulty is alive and well in , the Wii U sequel to Retro Studios' excellent 2.5D reboot of DK's jungle-stomping franchise.
Besides the tough-but-gratifying running and jumping, Tropical Freeze has great presentation and polish. It's packed with subtle detail and vibrant visuals, and a great soundtrack makes the whole experience all the more enjoyable. Plus, the three different Kongs you can partner up with--Diddy, Daisy, and Cranky--each have a unique ability, providing some variety in the way you approach each challenging obstacle. Sure, Tropical Freeze is tough, but it's difficult in all the right ways and is a must-own title for any Wii U owner.
19. Axiom Verge
Axiom Verge came to Wii U about a year later than every other console, but this means Nintendo got the definitive version of this gorgeous, old-school Metroidvania game. The Wii U version added a leaderboard function for speedrunners - on other consoles, you have to record this info yourself - and you can always see the map on the Wii U GamePad. For a game about exploration, this a revolutionary addition. There are no hints in Axiom Verge - not arrows pointing you where to go - so the incorporation of the Wii U's second screen is a masterstroke.
This may be a form of heresy, but it's safe to say Axiom Verge is better than many of the classics that inspired it, and if you're going to play any version of it, this is the one to pick up.
18. Duck Tales Remastered
takes a beloved classic and updates it with beautiful, modern visuals. Sure, there are plenty of retro revivals of this sort, but DuckTales Remastered gets the porridge just right, finding the perfect balance between new and old. Its controls and overall feel are largely the same, not in need of a major overhaul. But some minor improvements have been made to the level layouts, and just enough new content has been added to make it an entirely worthwhile package.
It's made possible by developer WayForwards care and attention to detail. WayForward, no stranger to artful 2D games, showed a clear love for the original, implementing changes that die-hard fans would want. For example, the originals notoriously lackluster final level, which was actually a recycled stage from earlier in the game, has been removed and replaced with an entirely new level. So grab DuckTales Remastered and have an excellent experience with it today, regardless of your familiarity with the NES original.
17. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE
Imagine a host of your favourite JRPG characters clocking off, unbuckling their swords and kicking back at the weirdest nightclub on the planet, and you're somewhere close to Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. It's a concept so absurd it's almost alienating, combining elements from relatively niche games such as Shin Megami Tensei and Fire Emblem, and an aspirational teen J-Pop storyline. But this is precisely what makes it so special.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE is a fun, incredibly player-friendly romp that doesn't take itself too seriously - yes, bad things are happening, but everything is bright, cheerful, and tongue is firmly in bubblegum-flavoured cheek. If you want a game that's happy to throw in mid-dungeon song-and-dance routines to fake anime theme songs, this is the only place to come. It's magnificently weird and proud of it, using a ridiculous concept to craft a solid, surprisingly engrossing JRPG that's impossible to resist.
16. Sonic Lost World
How deep is your 3D Sonic-shaped wound? How many times have you gone to the new annualized Sonic release, hope in your heart, thinking it may ease your pain and bring back your fond memories of the franchise, only to have it burn you yet again? As a die-hard Sonic fan, youve had a few bright spots here and there to help you retain some faith in the character and his games, but for the most part, he left you out in the cold.
Its hard to believe, but may be the best 3D Sonic game, and it actually stands on its own as a great game, qualifier-free. It was co-published by Nintendo, and it carries the level of polish expected from a Nintendo release. Sonic Lost World looks fantastic and plays great, and, while its not on par with a Mario platformer, its more than serviceable in its own right. Trust--Sonic wont be burning you again with this one.
15. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
When it comes to Monster Hunter you either get it, or you don't. If you don't, then Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate feels like an unintuitive mess of mechanics. If you do, than you'll find yourself losing hundreds of hours slaying monsters, looting them for parts, crafting new gear, and then doing it all over again. Ultimate's Wii U version is the definitive iteration of the game, with strong visuals, great controls, and online play that'll keep you grinding for a long time.
And, honestly, if you fall into the "don't get it" class, you might as well give Ultimate a go anyway. It has all of the fun of an MMO smashed into a game you can play solo--and if you end up getting hooked, you can pick up the 3DS version as well, and transfer your character between the two to keep playing no matter where you are.
14. New Super Mario Bros. U
The Wii Us launch lineup has been one of strongest in recent memory, thanks in no small part to launching with a brand-new Mario game, which hasnt happened since 1996. This time around Nintendo created a new entry in the well-loved retro franchise New Super Mario Bros. And believe us when we say its the best 2D Mario since the SNES days.
Inviting to new players while still being challenging, New Super Mario Bros. U has tons of interesting new enemies, clever stage design, and fresh approaches to classic Mario boss battles. NSMBU also offers a surprising amount of replay value thanks to engrossing minigames and levels packed with secrets. If you only have room in your budget for one game on the Wii U, it should be this one.
13. Ultimate NES Remix
We dare you to tell us that the NES era wasnt a pinnacle of gaming culture. Try to pretend that Mario didnt rock your sox, or that the open-ended depth of the original Legend of Zelda was a complete game changer and youll have the world calling your BS in minutes flat. Unfortunately that time (much like the rest of our childhood) has passed, but that doesnt mean we cant dive into the old classics with Ultimate NES Remix
But while all of our old favorites return for another round, this collection throws a few curveballs into the mix as well. Series mascots can bleed into separate franchises, some levels are completely transformed, and silly challenges like hyperspeed modes or autorunning only give us more ways to play the games weve beaten to death. With luck, this could catch on for other generations as well
12. Splatoon
Splatoon is one of those games that you feel happy just looking at. Whether it's great globs of colour or adorable Inklings, everything about it is a pleasure to behold. It's the rarest of all things - a competitive shooter that makes you feel amazing whether you win or lose, that's more about the simple, tactile joy of splurging paint over every imaginable surface than it is about singular heroics or no-scope headshots.
How many times have you stepped away from an FPS unhappier than when you started? That'll never happen here. In that sense, it's the most Nintendo thing ever - a simple concept, done brilliantly well, without a hint of shouty unpleasantness or teabagging pwnage. Add in stacks of collectible loot and genius traversal mechanics, which are simple to learn but difficult to master, and you have the ultimate Wii U shooter.
11. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U
It's a thing we've said before about the Smash Bros. series, but it's absolutely worth reiterating here: whether you win or lose, you just want to keep playing. In a very Nintendo-y way, it takes a deeply competitive fighting game and removes the grind and anger that sometimes comes with one-on-one combat. Even after hundreds of matches, you'll still get that same rush of excitement before a match starts, and this is just as true in the Wii U version.
It's the sort of wonderful chaos that makes some fighting game fans scratch their heads, but it makes for a wild and brightly entertaining game. The Wii U version improves the familiar gameplay rather than reinventing it, focussing on balanced bouts and technical depth, and it's a worth update to an illustrious and much loved series.
10. Rayman Legends
Few games mix whimsy and challenging fun as successfully as Rayman Legends, a wholly entertaining platformer that'll simultaneously put your skills to the test and a smile on your face. It all starts with the hand-drawn aesthetic. The cartoon-like visuals are downright gorgeous, and the characters--Rayman, his pal Globox, and the wizard Teensies--have plenty of quirky animations and personality.
Of course, that wouldn't mean much if the gameplay wasn't good, but Legends is one of the best platformers around. Each level is packed with hidden secrets and a slew of obstacles--ranging from deadly pits to equally deadly bad guys--that'll keep you on your toes. And each of its multiple worlds closes out with an incredible music stage, where every jump and action happens to the beat of a song. Don't miss out on this excellent game.
9. Child of Light
"Yeah, yeah, so Child of Light is a beautiful, wonderfully singular game that defies categorization. I get it, its priced like a budget game but has the length and expert production values of the best retail games. Please stop bothering me about how it excels in so many areas, including musical composition, art direction, and writing. I know! It has a fun, fairy tale story with diverse characters and mature themes. Ive heard it all before, go away!"
Well, fine, speaker in the above paragraph. Assuming you do exist, let me tell you that Child of Light is also a well-crafted RPG. Which--and, I hate to remind you--is not a thing that really exists elsewhere on the Wii U. Not sold yet? Its also a well-crafted puzzle-platformer, which Well, you get the idea. The point is, Child of Light doesnt have to rely on its high-minded, critics-darling artistry, because it's also a great game.
8. Nintendo Land
Much like Wii Sports, was created to be an inviting tech demo for Nintendo's experimental new console. But thats pretty much where the comparisons cease, because Nintendo Land is made to appeal to both the blue ocean of casual players as well as the millions of Nintendo junkies around the world. And though the 12 core minigames vary in quality, when Nintendo Land gets it right, it makes for great fun for up to five players.
Set in a virtual Nintendo theme park, each minigame is an attraction inspired by a different Nintendo franchise. The standouts of the bunch are intense versus battles like Animal Crossing: Sweet Day and Luigis Ghost Mansion, in addition to deeper co-op adventures like Metroid Blast and Pikmin Adventure. Even if some of the single-player challenges are too shallow, Nintendo Land is a great party game perfect for introducing your friends to your new console, and will keep you entertained long after they leave.
7. Shovel Knight
Shovel Knight is an indie title that harkens back to the retro stylings of Mega Man and Duck Tales, so it's fitting that its only console outing is on Wii U. This is old-school NES fun at its best, sporting a shovel to swing, platforms to hop on, and colorful opponents to overcome.
Shovel Knight features stages based on elements like fire, ice, and poison, each completely different from the last. Leap and slash your way through these, and you'll cap off each stage in a showdown with the Order of No Quarter--knights with as much personality as the levels they inhabit. If the rush of battling the fire-spitting Mole Knight or the staff-slamming King Knight isn't enough, then how about different types of armor and weapons, extra bosses, and bonus levels? This retro throwback is fun for players of all ages.
6. Super Mario Maker
Nintendo handing over the keys to 30 years worth of Mario level objects and letting you loose with them is a bit like Alfred giving you the access code to the Batcave. Am I allowed to be in here? But once you've got over the sheer volume of stuff that you're allowed to play with here, it's kid in a sweet shop territory. Thankfully there's a slow trickle of new toys so you're not suddenly so overwhelmed you need to open a window, but the offerings from three decades of Mario means that from pipes to Goombas, you can build whatever kind of level you can dream up.
You can't just change the items either, there's four era settings for you to change the gameplay so you can build more traditional levels or make most of Mario's new Wii U skills. It's all absurdly easy too. You can actually draw out the level on the gamepad before dragging and dropping bricks and ? blocks galore. Just like LittleBigPlanet, half the joy - or all of it if you find out you're not the level designer you hoped - is going in and trying other people's creations. Whether you want surreal levels where creators have broken all the rules or ultra-hard Super Meat Boy-esque side-scrollers from hell, you'll find it here.
5. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD
Gaming has come a long way since 2003, but the Zelda series has yet to truly improve upon the brilliance of Wind Waker. The gorgeous, understated art has aged gracefully, as has the action-packed gameplay and mystery-rich dungeons. Wind Waker took all the tropes of the Zelda franchise and reimagined them in a story thats both reverent of franchise mythology while still taking chances with expectations.
When Nintendo returned to the title for an HD remake, the developers did far more than upscale the visual fidelity. Wind Waker HD fixes the majority of the few real problems the game had, such as the spotty pacing near the end and the sometimes-frustrating stealth. The best Zelda game ever made just got better, and is worth turning on your Wii U for--whether you played the original or are dying to know what all the fuss is about.
4. Mario Kart 8
Oh, it's another Mario Kart game, huh? Just like the ones you've played for hundreds of hours on almost every single system Nintendo has ever sold? Don't be so quick to judge, because Mario Kart 8 brings some huge advancements to the series, starting with the visuals. This game has to be one of the most gorgeous games in Nintendo history; the company's overdue arrival into the HD era.
But MK8 doesn't just get by on its good looks. It brings a ton of gameplay changes, like greatly expanding the number of races, adding new anti-gravity sections that do a great job at freshening up all the retro courses that return, and finally adding an item that can counter the dreaded Blue Shell. The online gets a major boost too, and works smoothly throughout while letting players upload their racing highlight videos to YouTube. Mario Kart 8 is the most current the series has ever felt, all without giving up the pure multiplayer fun at the heart of the action. Oh, and the Animal Crossing DLC pack is worth every ultra charming penny for those new tracks.
3. Bayonetta 2
Nintendos been such a clean cut, family friendly company for so long that it still boggles our minds to see Bayonetta 2 on the Wii U. Nevertheless, were more than happy to see the wild witch find a home in the house that Mario built. Its that pinch of exotic spice the platform needed; a touch of over-the-top, hyper-sexy silliness that makes us feel better about being adults that still play with the baby system
And that gameplay--fast, slick, stylish, smooth, and every other adjective that can be used to positively describe an action game. Bayonetta 2 has us hooting and hollering as we take down that tough to beat boss, then diving back in for another try and the high score. With the original included as an added bonus, well happily take any excuse to fly ourselves to the moon one more time.
2. Pikmin 3
The Wii U's killer app has arrived, and it's not a Mario game. Yeah, we were surprised, too. Pikmin 3 is everything we wanted and more, and makes a great case for the Wii U hardware. Pikmin has been Nintendo's smartest franchise since Olimar first stumbled around an alien planet, putting strategy and planning ahead of platforming and brawling, and this game pushes the envelope even further. Patrolling the massive, beautiful world as the crew of the SS Drake is awe-inspiring, and you'll love collecting fruit and fighting strange animals around the huge world.
Better yet, it takes great advantage of the second screen by allowing for multitasking that would be damn near impossible on any other platform, enhancing the already-impressive gameplay by letting you control all three characters at the same time. It's everything you want from a next-gen game--it's pretty, it's smart, it wouldn't have been possible on older hardware, and... it's fun. It's really, really fun.
1. Super Mario 3D World
No, Super Mario 3D World isn't the next Mario Galaxy. It's a much safer bet for Nintendo, and one that's in line with the company's attempts at appeasing the core while retaining the casual crowd. But don't let that dissuade you--it's an incredible success, and while it doesn't really feel as ambitious as Mario's space-bound journeys, it might be the closest thing we'll ever get to a sequel to Mario 64.
With fantastic gameplay and some of the best level design in the franchise's history, 3D World is a landmark achievement in platforming. It's downright ingenious at times, with clever worlds that nod to the franchise's past without being too obsessed with its own legacy. And while you might come for the core gameplay, you'll find the multiplayer actually finally works as a complement instead of a detriment. Whereas previous attempts turn the precise platforming of Mario into a chaotic mess of head-bouncing, 3D World's 3D worlds mean you're actually able to play together without getting in each other's way. It's an evolution, a revolution, and a must-own.

Cautious optimism on immigration
WASHINGTON A public debate over the nation's flawed immigration system is set to begin in earnest this week as senators finalize a bipartisan bill to secure the border, allow tens of thousands of foreign workers into the country and grant eventual citizenship to the estimated 11 million people living here illegally.
Already negotiators are cautioning of struggles ahead for an issue that's defied resolution for years. An immigration deal came close on the Senate floor in 2007 but collapsed amid interest-group bickering and an angry public backlash.
"There will be a great deal of unhappiness about this proposal because everybody didn't get what they wanted," Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., a leader of the eight senators negotiating the legislation, said Sunday. "There are entrenched positions on both sides of this issue."
"There's a long road," said Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., appearing alongside McCain on CBS' "Face the Nation." "There are people on both sides who are against this bill, and they will be able to shoot at it."
Schumer, McCain and their "Gang of Eight" already missed a self-imposed deadline to have their bill ready in March, but Schumer said he hopes that this week, it will happen.
"All of us have said that there will be no agreement until the eight of us agree to a big, specific bill, but hopefully we can get that done by the end of the week," said Schumer.
A painstaking deal reached a week ago knit together traditional enemies, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO, in an accord over a new low-skilled worker program. The proposal would allow up to 200,000 workers a year into the country to fill jobs in construction, hospitality, nursing homes and other areas where employers say they have a difficult time hiring Americans.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I am a high school graduate but I couldn't go to college cause I didn't have the money to pay out of my pocket. A lot of the scholarships required that I have a FAFSA on file. However, I couldn't apply for fafsa because I didn't have a social security number. I will be going for my biometrics for the deferred action for childhood arrivals tomorrow. Hopefully within a few months my case gets approved and I get a social security number. With that number, will I be able to apply for Federal Aid, Grants, Scholarships e.t.c. through FAFSA and continue to getting a college degree?
I do not believe you are eligible to apply for federal aid with a DACA approval. You can certainly check with the federal government to confirm that. Private scholarships are a different issue, however, because whoever creates the scholarship determines the qualifications, and they may not require lawful permanent residence. You will have to check each scholarship.
Good luck!
It doesn't appear you currently qualify for Federal Aid. Private scholarships are a different story.
I agree with my colleagues. If you have further questions, you should contact a lawyer, whether myself or one of my colleagues. Good luck to you.

What sucks:
A Good Samaritan picked up a lost dog in Henderson, Nevada last month and brought him to a local vet. The vet scanned him for a chip and determined he had an owner. The vet then called AC to pick up the dog. Right then and there, either the vet or the ACO (or both) should have contacted the owner. But that did not happen. Instead, the ACO loaded the dog onto his truck then went on several other calls.
Meanwhile the dog's family, Jim Whipple and his 17 year old son Brandon, were actively searching for him. Mr. Chops had been rescued by the Whipples many years ago and was well-loved:
The Whipples say Mr. Chops loved to play with socks and was full of energy.
"If something was going on, he was always there to comfort you."
At 4:30 pm, the ACO returned to the shelter, parked the truck and left for the day. It was 113 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mr. Chops suffered in the heat, trying to claw his way out of the cage, until he finally died. His remains were discovered the next day when the ACO returned to work. The police department, which runs AC in Henderson, is investigating itself in the matter and won't comment on the investigation. They will say however that in future, the policy will be to brings dogs back to the shelter in a more timely manner and to check the truck to verify there are no animals on it before leaving for the day. Ya think?
Although I said it at the beginning, it's worth repeating: all that sucks. Mr. Chops' agonizing death was entirely preventable. The dog never should have been loaded onto the truck in the first place. A microchip, as we are so often scolded by various AC outfits, is supposed to protect your pet. But as has been reported way too frequently on this blog, microchips only work when AC does their job. Government investigating itself is unacceptable. The fact that there was no existing policy which required ACOs to check the trucks before leaving them for the day is inexcusable.
What doesn't suck:
When the Henderson police realized that Mr. Chops was dead, they wanted to notify the owners:
The family was notified in person by a Henderson Police deputy chief, people from Animal Control and a grief counselor.
By sending these particular people to the Whipples' home to deliver the tragic news, the Henderson PD not only demonstrated empathy for the family but also respect for the fact that to most owners, pets are family. They recognized that in all likelihood, the news would be heartbreaking for the Whipples.
And while many of us might be tempted to issue a call for someone's head as a result of the needless suffering and death of our beloved family member, Mr. Chops' people responded differently:
The Whipples say while they hope to see policy changes, they do not want to see the officer who left Mr. Chops in the back of the truck to lose his job.
The Whipple family was obviously devastated, but says they realize it was a tragic mistake.
"Honestly, I understand people make mistakes they can forget things. I often forget things, but it is a life. He is gone," Brandon Whipple said.
"We as a family are concerned about the poor individual that made the mistake and left him in because they have the grief to live with," Jim Whipple said.
Both father and son saying they hope that everyone can learn from Mr. Chops' death.
Yes, I believe we all just did. Thank you.

You don't have to be nationally recognized as a feline behavior expert to know that if you box up a cat, take him to a pet killing facility and leave him surrounded by the smells and sounds of despair and death, the cat is not going to be in the mood to play tea party. Any cat owner could tell you this. So one would think that people working in an animal shelter would know this fo shizzle. And yet DOT DOT DOT.
A good Samaritan named Alexis Boyett took in a stray cat, named her Pesh, fed, tamed, played with and loved her for six months and had her spayed. When Ms. Boyett felt Pesh was ready for a permanent home, she called the Hawaii Island Humane Society in Keaau to inquire about surrendering a cat for adoption. She felt reassured after speaking with shelter staff and made the very difficult decision to take Pesh to the shelter so she could get the permanent home she deserved.
Ms. Boyett says she made it "very clear" to shelter staff that there was no way she wanted Pesh to be killed. If killing became a consideration, she told them to call her and she would pick Pesh up. She tearfully said goodbye, leaving Pesh's favorite toys with her, believing Pesh would be sheltered.
Shortly after Ms. Boyett left, staff at the Hawaii Island Humane Society killed Pesh. No one bothered to call Ms. Boyett. In fact, it was she who called the shelter the next day to find out how Pesh was doing only to find out the cat was dead. She was given no reason for the killing. Then the local paper got involved:
In a statement to the Tribune-Herald, HIHS Executive Director Donna Whitaker said Pesh's "behavior did not meet socialization standards."
HIHS evaluates and tests arriving animals "as soon as possible," Whitaker said in the statement, and feral cats and "cats that are not socialized" are euthanized "as soon as practicable," contingent on staff availability.
So basically, despite all standards of care and common sense, the Hawaii Island Humane Society forces newly impounded, scared cats out of their cages as soon as a cat death sentencer becomes available, requires the cats to play tea party and when they don't, kills them as soon as a cat killer becomes available. And going by the stats, a cat killer seems to be available pretty regularly:
Statistics show HIHS, an open-admission shelter that accepts all animals regardless of breed, age or other factors, euthanized about 80 percent of its 6,568 cats in 2015.
[A]t least 75 percent were feral or "unhealthy," the society reports[.]
Like Pesh, I guess.
The Hawaii Island Humane Society holds a nearly $2 million AC contract with the county. That contract reportedly does not specify any holding period. So it's a pretty sweet get cat/deem feral/kill/collect $2 million scam they got going there. I wonder how the local taxpayers enjoy being defrauded by this "humane society".
Speaking of which, the newspaper reached out to Inga Gibson, Hawaii state director of the Humane Society of the United States, one of the major players trying to reduce/eliminate holding periods for shelter cats nationwide:
She thinks Boyett's incident could be a learning opportunity and a chance to make changes.
"We need public trust and confidence in the local shelters," Gibson said. "So we encourage shelters to always be evaluating and reevaluating their policy or protocols. Regardless of the details, should something have been done different to prevent this?
Just to be clear, the "details" of this case, which Gibson so readily dismisses, involve the needless killing of a loved cat who had a safe place to go. But yeah, let's have a beer summit and discuss whether something should have been done differently. Because I mean, the place is killing 80% of its cats as quickly as they can get them from the front door to the kill room so you know, it's a head-scratcher.
And while yammering rhetorical, Gibson takes time to spank the good Samaritan:
And Boyett relinquished her legal rights to Pesh when she surrendered her, Gibson said.
"It's standard practice. When someone surrenders, they won't be contacted," she said. "That's why (surrendering) is a pretty serious decision."
Yeah I hate the way that lady took in a stray cat even though she couldn't keep her long term, got her spayed, took care of her and taught her that human beings are nice then flippantly made a call to the shelter to verify the cat would be put up for adoption, packed up her toys and brought her to a place she thought was a safe haven so she could find a permanent home. Only a terribly insincere person would do all those things. Thanks for pointing that out, HSUS.

What would you be willing to do in order to avoid killing a shelter pet? And let me be clear – in this hypothetical, you are getting paid to do whatever it is your answer is going to be. So set aside all those obstacles that sometimes hinder us in life when we are trying to save animals. This is your job. What would you be willing to do?
I'll go first: I would be willing to do just about anything to avoid killing a shelter pet. The first thing I'd probably do is check the pet's records to see if any interested adopters or rescuers had placed their names on the animal. If someone had in fact applied to adopt the pet, I'd call that person. If he left two numbers, or six or sixteen, I'd call all of them. If he left an email address, I'd get typing, in addition to the phone calls. If his mailing address was available, I'd drop a note in the mail if I didn't receive a prompt response to the calls/emails. If he put down his place of employment on the application and I hadn't had any luck reaching him, I might go there, depending on the type of business. Carrier pigeon, smoke signals, skywriting – I'm not ruling anything out. And while I wouldn't quickly give up on the adopter, I'd be trying all sorts of other things in the meantime: posting an online plea for a temporary foster to buy an extra day, reaching out to rescuers/animal advocates/person I sat next to on the bus once/lady who made eye contact with me at the grocery store/etc. Like I said, just about anything.
I'm guessing most readers here might give similar type answers. But if your answer is: I wouldn't be willing to do one damn thing even though it's my job and if I get called out on it later I'd just lie, you might like to apply at NYC ACC. You know, to be around your own kind.
This gentleman posted on social media that he had applied to adopt a dog named Promise from NYC ACC. He was told he'd be contacted upon approval of his application. While waiting, he tried to check back with the facility several times but couldn't get anyone on the phone. Finally he emailed and received a response: NYC ACC had killed Promise because she had a cough. They said someone had left him a voicemail but he says that just isn't true:
I left both of my cell numbers, my girlfriend's number, my mom's number, 2 references complete with contact information. I have no missed calls, no voicemails on either of my phones… No email to ensure your transmission was received. No effort whatsoever. Shame on you Animal Care Centers of NYC. You killed my dog for fucking Kennel cough. She deserved better than that. You had a pending application and an eager recipient, yet you took her life anyway.
Her bed arrived last week, she'll never get to sleep in it. Her new collar with her name on it was on the way, she'll never get to wear it.
RIP Promise. We loved you already.
Well done NYC ACC. You must be proud. Same shit, different day.
NYC ACC says there is no such thing as no kill. (There is, of course.) I heard there was no such thing as monsters but apparently that ain't true either.
(Thanks Nathan.)

An elderly couple whose lost Sheltie got picked up by Stockton Animal Services in December was pulled by a rescue group then adopted while the owners were still searching for her. The new owners, who had Tipsy for around 2 weeks by the time Mr. and Mrs. Robinson found out what had happened to their pet of 8 years, are refusing to give her back.
[Sharon] Robinson was 10 days too late, and the new family was already in love with Tipsy.
"I just want… I want her back," she said.
She's heartbroken and has even offered the new adoptive family a refund for Tipsy's adoption fee. They have declined.
"They've loved her for a little over two weeks. I've loved her for eight and a half years."
Mrs. Robinson still has the pedigree that came with Tipsy when she was a puppy. She searched for her to the best of her knowledge and ability, even when she was sick. She is heartbroken and can not talk about Tipsy without crying. Although it's impossible to know how Tipsy is feeling, it would be hard to imagine she is not missing the only family she ever knew.
Setting all this aside for the moment, I found this troubling:
We also reached out to the city of Stockton's Animal Services. They declined an on-camera interview. The animal services department is now investigating Tipsy's case to see if the proper protocol was followed.
The pound doesn't know if proper procedures were followed? And they won't discuss the case? Not good.
Back to Tipsy's ownership: On the one hand, Mrs. Robinson certainly presents a reasonable case that Tipsy was well cared for and loved by her family. I don't think the new owners would have any worries about her quality of life if Tipsy was returned. On the other hand, the new owners had a Sheltie who died recently and found Tipsy, whom they were told was a stray and that no owner had claimed her. They adopted her in good faith and instantly fell in love with her, something I think we all can relate to. Getting a new pet helps some owners in the grieving process and perhaps Tipsy has been providing much needed comfort to the new owners.
What would you do if you had adopted Tipsy under these circumstances? Mrs. Robinson says she may hire an attorney. That might not be a bad idea, especially considering that the pound doesn't know if proper procedures were followed (which opens up the possibility that Tipsy was not held for the legally mandated holding period and therefore not eligible for release to the rescue group in the first place). I would hate to see a lengthy court battle in this situation, or any pet custody situation really. What other options might exist for the Robinsons?

The distressingly bad and wealthy Michigan InHumane has been trying for years to get legislation changed to reduce and eliminate mandatory holding periods for lost pets in shelters. (And when MHS hasn't gotten its way, it just blatantly ignores the law.) Its current proposed bill is terrible.
Unfortunately, the state department of agriculture recently caved on the issue and announced it will no longer enforce the law regarding mandatory holding periods in shelters.
Meanwhile, Michigan rescue groups continue to import shelter pets from the south, citing "no pressing need" to help locally.
If you are a Michigan resident, please take action to protect lost pets from being abandoned or killed by your local shelter before their owners have a chance to find them.

When PETA got caught on surveillance camera trying – and failing – to lure an owned Chihuahua named Maya off her porch last year, ultimately stealing and killing the beloved pet, the group sent the cranks back to the scene of the crime. They knocked on the door, told the family they had killed their dog and gave them a fruit basket.
As it turns out, the heartbroken owners didn't feel PETA's basket of crazy was fair compensation for killing a member of their family. Wilber Zarate and his daughter Cynthia are now suing PETA and the two screwballs, seeking more than $9 million:
Cynthia was distraught after Maya was killed, Zarate said of his daughter in the lawsuit.
"She cried for weeks, became lethargic, lost sleep, refrained from eating and lost weight," he said. "Maya was irreplaceable."
Apparently a fruit basket did not make it all better. So weird.
Before anyone has a sad because PETA may have to cough up $9 million, let's remember that PETA collects that amount many times over every year from donors. Some donors are probably honestly duped into believing the group does the opposite of things like operating a pet slaughterhouse, others are willfully ignorant but eager to congratulate themselves on their charitable giving. I tend to toss celebrities with deep pockets and small brains into that latter category.
The money won't be a problem for PETA. The lawsuit, and the media attention it will hopefully attract, will be. Look how many people had their eyes opened by the press coverage of PETA's 2007 Piggly Wiggly dumpster trial. Any opportunity to shine a light on PETA's pet killing is worthwhile. Nothing can bring Maya back, but by suing for such a large sum of money, her family is sending a clear message bound to garner widespread attention: Pets are family. PETA kills pets.
(Thanks Laura.)

Some of you may remember the story of a Boston man who was walking his dog in January when he was struck by a school bus. The dog was killed and the man was seriously injured. Many people were touched by the tragedy and the students on the bus were met by counselors when they finally arrived at school that day.
Today, the Boston Globe reported the rest of the story including background on the man, Jeff Schwartz, his dog Buddy, and the numerous obstacles Jeff has faced since losing his leg in the accident. You might be tempted to skip the article for fear of it being too depressing but I would encourage everyone to read it. It is a harrowing tale to be sure but it is peppered throughout with inspiration and hope, revolving around the special bond we share with our pets.
Pets are so many things to us. Pets are our motivation to battle adversity, our source of comfort, and our sense of home. When Jeff awoke from his month-long coma, he was unable to speak but could hold a pen, although writing was difficult. He wrote down two questions for his wife who was at his bedside:
Where do we live, and did Buddy survive?
In that moment, Jeff's sense of home was so limited that he could not even remember where he lived. But he remembered Buddy. Perhaps it was because memories can be dodgy in patients who awake from a coma but possibly there was something more at play: a house is a physical structure which keeps the wind off, a pet is part of your identity. A missing limb can be inquired about later. Pets are family. We belong.
Due to the physical limitations and setbacks which occurred during Jeff's lengthy recovery, he was unable to care for a new dog as soon as he wanted one. Amidst progress and despite the challenges, he and his wife recently decided to go ahead and adopt a dog from an area rescue which pulls pets from southern pounds. Her name is Mandy. Jeff has a walking partner again. And so much more.
Mandy is reportedly shy and doesn't like most men. She would make a likely candidate for killing at many pounds based on those traits alone. Or she might have been killed for space or because her mandatory holding period had expired or any other arbitrary reason. But it is Mandy's natural birthright to live. And it was her destiny to help provide a sense of identity to Jeff.
For anyone working in a so-called shelter to violate Mandy's right to live and rob her of her destiny should be a crime. Instead it's standard operating procedure at far too many public facilities. That needs to change. Lives are at risk – precious lives of all varieties interwoven with one another. The fact that these needless killings are happening by the millions each year diminishes our collective identity. The sense of loss is palpable. What is needed though, in spite of the horror, is for it to be motivational too. Start here.

In theory, microchipping your pet is an excellent way to help get him back home should he ever get lost. In reality, microchips are useless if the organization taking in lost pets doesn't scan for them or contact the registered owner (and the alternate contacts, if necessary). There have been a spate of stories recently involving microchipped lost pets being found and the owner not being contacted.
A Pennsylvania family who left their microchipped German shepherd Sophie with a relative while they went on vacation this month only found out she had gotten lost on July 4th after they returned home on the 13th. They immediately called the HS of Westmoreland Co and learned their pet had been impounded on July 6 and adopted to a new owner six days later. The HS says it tried to reach the registered owner (whom the family obtained the dog from) listed on Sophie's microchip but the voicemail at that number was not set up. After the 48 hour holding period elapsed, they offered the dog for adoption. The original owner disputes the shelter's claim about her voicemail.
Either way, if a chip's first phone number doesn't yield results, there are always the alternate contacts as well as registered mail and good old knocking on door. But I guess that sounds like work. The HS claims the adoption is legal and that the family never legally owned Sophie anyway because they hadn't licensed her. So stuff it, basically.
In Sonoma Co, CA, a lawsuit has been filed by the original owner of a 10 year old tuxedo cat who was microchipped at the time he went missing several years ago. The current owner, who says she bought the cat 5 years ago from a rescuer she met through her veterinarian, only found out the cat was chipped last year when she took him to a new vet who scanned him. She attempted to register the chip in her own name, prompting the chip company to contact the original owner. The original owner says she bottle fed the kitten from birth, searched for him extensively when he got lost and still wants him back. The current owner loves him too and doesn't want to give him up.
Had either the rescuer or the first vet scanned the cat at the time he was found, he could have been returned to the original owner. Now two people are heartbroken over the matter and a cat is caught in the middle.
The city of Alton, IL recently eliminated funding for its ACO position, turning those duties over to police. This week, Alton police responded to a call about an injured dog in a store parking lot. The 15 year old dog, called Buster, had wandered away from home and apparently hurt his rear leg. His owner had filed a missing pet report with the police department including a description of Buster and his microchip information.
A witness says she saw police coax him into their car with bologna. State law requires the officers to take the dog to a vet's office to be scanned for a microchip. Once the chip's information had been read, the owner could have been contacted. Instead, the officers reportedly drove the dog to the AC facility where one shot him twice with a .12 gauge shotgun and the other put two bullets from his .40 caliber Glock 23 into the pet. After Buster was dead, a chip scan provided his owner's information and the owner was notified of his pet's killing. Oh and the police love animals:
"We know what our protocol has been up to this point," said Emily Hejna, public information officer for the Alton Police Department. "We were presented yesterday with some law saying something that might contradict what what we have been using as practice."
Rather than task the police department with figuring out how to work compliance with some law into their protocol, the city voted to reinstate the ACO. Hopefully the ACO has – and uses – a chip scanner. While animals are still alive.

2012_01_15 Ray Simone's Hassle House poster
In 1974 Ray Simone created a poster for a place called Hassle House, in Durham, North Carolina. The job was for the Duke Media Center, and quickly became a collector's item. One of those collectors was Jay Cunningham, a friend of Ray's from back in the decade. After Ray died, I put up the blog post at the last link, Jay scanned the poster and sent me the files. I unpacked the images into separate files of their own — they're all so damned good — and put them up here, dated to coincide with Ray's memorial service in Pacifica, California. It was this poster that got me turned on to Ray. After I called Ray (who I didn't know yet) to see if he was up for illustrating an ad I was putting together for an audio shop I was consulting, Ray told David Hodskins that "Doctor Dave" was on the phone. (I won't bother you here with the backstory on that.) David told Ray to arrange a lunch, and the long-term effect of that was Hodskins Simone & Searls went on to become one of North Carolina's and then Silicon Valley's top advertising agencies. Much history has happened since then, but remembering where it all started is a sweet and good thing to do. Ray was just freaking brilliant, and very very funny as well. The most creative guy I've ever known. Miss him bad.

"He decided himself to leave the squad. If we called him back, we would lose authority without any guarantees that he would not repeat such an act."
"This approach offers the best of both worlds. It can enforce CPU guarantees when the system runs out of excess cycles (for maximum security and guaranteed availability of lower-priority services) and can dispense free CPU cycles when they become available (for maximum performance)."
"Those are situations where you're almost guaranteed to give up one (run). In fact with second and third with no outs, we just hoped to minimize and maybe give up one, possible two runs. We just didn't want to extend the inning any further than that. To get out of both of those situations without giving up a run was a real boost for us. Offensively, I think it helped give us some momentum to build on."
"A good run in the Bud Shootout doesn't guarantee a good run in the Daytona 500, but it is a nice indicator that this part of the program is at least headed in the right direction. The extra seat time is always good to have, and I think there are things you can learn by participating in that race that the teams who aren't competing don't have the opportunity to learn."
"Nothing was guaranteed; the roster was set, and even if I chose to stay, there's no guarantee of me making this team. I understand that completely. Joe Torre knows what I can do, and every person in this camp knows what I can do. I'm not a young kid who is going to be a surprise. They know."

Where the heck is Nimo?
Thanks very much, Gianni--it's my favorite Marinella
@kulata Looking very sharp!
Hmm, I always think of Nehru collars as being very formal, given their use in weddings. Interesting.
Is this question meant for me?
If so, I'm not sure I get the question. If you mean at the collar, then yes, the band is high enough to appear above the jacket, same as a normal shirt's band would be.
Do you think a turtleneck would have gone with or is that incongruous as well due to the formality?

Relevant image, from December last year:
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)
Yes, thanks, it was meant for you. I hit "reply" rather than quote. Sorry. I was merely wondering whether someone standing behind you would know you're wearing a shirt.
HF, I think the biggest issue with this fit is that you're wearing a chalk stripe suit, the epitome of business/city suits. Why not try the shirt with a plain light/medium grey suit if you're going for the futuristic look? Maybe something with a little mohair in it?
Thanks. It's very interesting hearing that; I would have thought the turtle would have been more controversial. I wonder if getting a higher band on the Nehru might alleviate some of the issue...
I have to say, I have a feeling that I will still wear it with formal suits anyway, just because it feels good on me and I like the look. But that doesn't mean I'm ignoring the feedback; keep it coming as it's useful to know the balance of popular opinion, regardless of whatever I finally decide.
The idea of a light/medium grey suit is good. I was thinking about trying it with a plain navy 2B too. I also have a checked grey mohair/wool DB awaiting alteration and was going to try that with it too, so that chimes with your suggestion too.
To Ac - yes, they can tell I'm wearing a shirt. I see what you mean now.
This was my thought -- soft shouldered DB is the right idea, but it needs to be a more out-there fabric. Maybe a fancy stripe, a la the less reputable Hong Kong tailors, so you look like a Mafia underboss in a 1984 William Gibson novel.
If you like it enough to get a second, I think cream could be cool.
LOL, yes, I get what you mean.
I actually wished I had a black suit to wear with it today. First time I've thought that!
Other options apart from that and the ones mentioned by Monkeyface above, that I think might work: tan or tobacco linen suit, possible mid-blue blazer in a similar sort of fabric. Or mid slim grey trousers and a black leather jacket perhaps. I've been meaning to get one...
ooh... now this idea I Iike!!
You know, the more I think about it, the more I think I was unconsciously chanelling some kind of Blade Runner-esque vibe by pairing it with a suit. I do love that movie. Was there something similar in Gattaca too? Can't remember.
Anyway, now this theme has been made conscious to me, through your and AAS's posts, I think I have some ideas of how to deploy it in a more directed way within that theme next time.

Science and engineering together are a big, fast-growing part of the US workforce – more than 5 million people. Yet, many people in the US are still left out of science and engineering jobs. A new report from the Institute of Medicine (IOM) looks at the gaps, and what to do about them.
The report, "Expanding Underrepresented Minority Participation: America's Science and Technology Talent at the Crossroads" paints a dismal picture. The gap begins early, and gets wider as education progresses.
Underrepresented minorities are 38% of US public school children. But they are only 15% among masters degree students. And most frightening and obviously unbalanced, minorities are only 5% of those who finish PhD degrees.
For years, the US has had a policy to improve schools and give scholarships in science. Yet overall, the U.S. was ranked 20th out of 24 countries in getting college grads through in science or engineering. Now, for all 24 year olds, only about 3% of Blacks, 3% of First Nations peoples, 2% of Hispanics and Latinos have a 4-year college degree in science or engineering.
Where has our education policy gone wrong?
Women in the US less often choose to study science and engineering than men. In contrast, students in minority groups are just as likely to choose science as any student, but less likely to finish. Finance is a root problem, and the report calls for increased scholarships to help students finish their degrees. Even for graduate school, paid fellowships are needed for minorities.
A tale of 2 public high schools in the Bronx, in New York City – not in the report – I want to share. The high schools are known locally as Columbus, and Bronx Science, notorious for opposite reasons. I taught Biology at Christopher Columbus High School in the Bronx after I finished my genetics PhD. Administration, the deans and principals, were white. More than half of the students are Hispanic, about a third are black, only 10% are Asian. Less than half of the students graduate, a quarter are not fluent in English, and a quarter need Special Ed. The majority of students live in families who receive public assistance.
The deans at Columbus treated the students in my classes like prisoners. I couldn't get through one class without them barging in to yell at the students about something. I love science, but I'm no prison warden. Yes, it was run like a prison. Metal detectors at the entrance, patrols with megaphones, police in the halls, harsh irrational discipline, and intimidation. The students had no lab equipment, and oddly, not even as many chairs as students in the room. And so I wonder, how are they going to love science? I taught, or tried to, for one week, and then spent 2 weeks doing nothing, trying to figure out what went wrong. I went back to the research lab I was familiar with, and continued work at my post doctoral fellowship.
What a contrast this was to Bronx High School of Science, where my daughter was a student about 10 years later. It is also a public school, but it is a "specialized high school". These students get a tremendously privileged education and receive the best of equipment and instruction of the New York City public school system. More than half of the student body are Asian-60%. Only 4% of students are black, and about 8% are Hispanic. At Bronx Science, the makeup of the student body has very little in common with the population who live around the school. Unlike some places, New York City does not take race into account to balance the student population. It's based on an entry exam alone. This is a policy that could easily be changed. From high school on, it is clear that the educational opportunities for minorities are grossly unbalanced.
Beyond school years, the IOM report shows minorities are still not included equally in the tech workforce, not like they could be. So, who is succeeding in science and technology in the US? The answer is not a surprise if you have worked in science and engineering. Today it is not U.S. citizens, but visitors from China and India, who fill the expanding job market, according to the new report.
The experts call for immediate large-scale education reform.
Key points from the report:
1. The problem of minorities being left out of science and engineering is urgent. It will be for a long time.
2. The nation must address the gap in participation and success.
3. Change is needed at each step where students are being lost, from preschool to grad school.
4. Students who miss out on science in high school need more intense help and financial support.
5. More support is needed for specific cultures and specific places.
6. Research on the minority experience in science and engineering is needed.
What do you think would help encourage students in the US to continue on in science and engineering?

The Garuda Purana is one of the Vishnu Puranas. It is in the form of a dialog between Vishnu and Garuda, the King of Birds. The second section of this Purana (given here) deals with issues connected with death, particularly funeral rites and the metaphysics of reincarnation. Portions of the Garuda Purana are used by some Hindus as funeral liturgy. Indeed, some consider it unlucky to read this text except during funerals.

Why is pain so dear to me?
Just as pebble ripples the sea,
pain resonance my mind's eye.
Although pain stays until we die.
Why is pain so dear to me?
Maybe it gives life more imagery.
Is it here to stop me from trying?
More often pain got me crying.
Why is pain so dear to me?
Pain never cost money it's free.
Pain seems to never let me forget.
Thus pain makes life ever better yet.

What should I do if someone is having a seizure? How do I know if my child has a concussion? What if my coworker is having chest pain? These are common questions that are asked during first aid classes. Being armed with some first aid knowledge can make any one more comfortable when faced with an emergency. First aid classes are scheduled individually, and are tailored to meet the needs of the particular group. Classes can vary in length, depending on the wishes of the organization.
Please call 605-322-2086 to register.
During the course of a year, almost 1 in every 4 Americans is injured and 1 in 20 become disabled to some degree. Trauma is the leading cause of death for Americans under the age of 40. Because a majority of seriously injured patients arrive at small emergency departments, care provided in the pre-hospital environment is crucial. This course is available for EMS providers who require the skills of recognizing the mechanism of injury, assessment, performing critical interventions, and properly transporting the trauma patient. The primary purpose is to provide the student with the fundamental knowledge and experience necessary to identify conditions that require immediate transport, learn or review lifesaving techniques, and review the equipment necessary to care for the trauma patient. This is a two-day (16-hour) course.
Pre-requisite: Paramedic Certification, LPN or RN
This course helps the pre-hospital professional learn and assimilate the fundamental knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for assessing and treating ill and injured children. This course also is especially tailored to the needs of the pre-hospital personnel who often have to make quick decisions about care and destination of children in the field. Any health professional that is responsible for the emergent care of children may find this course beneficial. This is a two-day (16-hour) ALS course.
Pre-requisite: Paramedic Certification, RN
This course is designed to review, organize, prioritize, and improve the skills and didactic information needed to handle a cardiac arrest, events that may lead to a cardiac arrest, and events following cardiac arrest. The core concepts are presented in a series of lectures, case studies, and practical application of the material learned in a two-day (16-hour) course. Course completion certificate is awarded to the student who can recognize and demonstrate the critical actions in the first ten minutes of a cardiac episode.
The purpose of this course is to provide the student with information needed for recognizing the infant or child at risk of cardiopulmonary arrest. Strategies and information for preventing cardiopulmonary arrest in infants and children are presented. The student will also develop the cognitive and psychomotor skills necessary for resuscitation and stabilization of the infant or child in respiratory failure, shock, or cardiopulmonary arrest. This is accomplished by the use of lecture, practical application of skills and knowledge, and case presentations. This two-day (16-hour) course is intended for healthcare providers (paramedics, nurses, or physicians) with responsibilities for the well being of infants and children.

I would say that I am a pretty down to earth girl who generally wants the simple things in life. I definately try to go with the flow with only a few detours when neccessary. I also strive to not take life too seriously, there's no point in living if you are stressed out all the time. I guess I could say that i'm looking for the proverbial "one." I'm ready to move on from the dating scene, its getting as old as "who let the dogs out?"
I would like to note that I really dislike drama. I believe life is only dramatic if you make it that way. We all have problems from time to time, but all problems can be solved and there is no point going all Audrey Hepburn about it.
swimming is good
movies are good
board games are fun
I love being random
I am random, splendiferous, and brutally honest
I think they should add space for things that I am terrible at. For example: I am a terrible ice skater; the powers that be denied me the ability to play sports or things that require hand-eye coordination, which is a bummer too because I like to play soccer, volleyball, and broomball.
Movies: comedy, action/adventure, sci-fi, any combo of the above. You Don't Mess With The Zohan was hilarious. Hancock was great. I enjoy both Star Wars, and Star Trek.
Music: I'm mostly a top 40 person but i like a smattering of everything other than alternative and country. I love that "sittin at a bar" song by rehab, it makes me laugh everytime i hear it.
Food: I love food. Food is good. I eat food. Mexican, Italian, Chinese, American, etc... I'm not a fan of spicy food though.
why oh why did she swallow the fly?
Where oh where did the butterflies go?
As If?!?!
Random stuff enters my mind and makes me wonder if I am sane or not. I think about things that happen in everday life, but that no one talks about and wonder why I can't mention them. For example... If someone asks for your opinion on something they are wearing, and it actually makes them look like a fat cow, why don't we just tell them that (in a nice way) so they won't ever wear it again? I mean, I wouldn't like to walk around looking like carrot top and not knowing it!

During last week's Gamescom, MMORPG.com's John Milburn had the opportunity for some quality hands on time with En Masse Entertainment's TERA. See what John's impressions of the game are in his latest Gamescom report. Let us know what you think in the comments.
The level started off in the dungeon "Necromancy Cell", a dark catacomb-styled area with tight passages and large open rooms. We played as a team of five and had a chance to try out the slayer class, one of the eight classes available in the game. We did also play as a sorcerer and made some really nasty fireballs to toast the monsters we encountered.
Read more of John Milburn's TERA Gamescom Demo Brief.
No videos? :S
Yeah no video of even the public Gamescon session??!! LAME!!!!
Apparently the TERA team thinks we can go on what they've been giving us the whole time...screenshots. Yawn. When are they not posting screens. Don't even care anymore.
This is all I can help you with guys.

Imo TB had better coverage of the games at GamesCom than many of the proffesional sites.
I think the combat is very impressive. What I cannot believe is they spent all this time on the combat and customization and then lock the characters into specific weapons? What the heck, I just don't get the thought process. Instead of gender lock they have a weapon lock lol, how original.
Here are the videos that the mmorpg.com writer was talking about. I recomend any Tera fan to watch them .
They need to just put a telephone pole in this guys hand and call it a day.
TERA looks awesome
so long as feel and story intertwine...this is my game :-)
To the caterpillar it is the end of the world, to the master, it is a butterfly.

Cultivate Wisdom
Welcome to philosophy at UNC! Although the discipline has the reputation for being abstract and technical, the word literally means "love of wisdom," and our faculty is committed to bringing the benefits of a philosophical education to students from all walks of life.
Did you know that among college graduates with no further training beyond a bachelor's degree, philosophy majors earn higher average salaries by mid-career than other humanities and social sciences majors except economics, and more than most technical and vocational majors as well? Don't just take our word for it, take a look at this salary survey from the Wall Street Journal by clicking on the box below. Once you've opened the survey, click twice at the top of the "Mid-Career Median Salary" column to sort from high to low.
Wall Street Journal Salary Increase by Major
These numbers aren't surprising when you consider the story behind the data. Philosophy facilitates serious reflection on your most fundamental beliefs and values, enabling you to clarify your most basic concepts and discover the reasons you have for thinking and acting in the ways you do. Whether you take a single course or complete one of our degrees, philosophy will help you understand more about who you really are, and how you can craft a meaningful and productive life in our ever changing world.

Politics & Society
December Fri 16, 2011
Beyond both the historical roots of their conflict and every other reason that leads to friction, one of the boulders that stands in the way of a peaceful solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are the Jewish settlements, or colonies in the territories under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority.Though this issue is mostly left in the shadows, or reduced to a debate between the allegedly legal settlements and the allegedly illegal settlements, instead, in order to find a peaceful and fruitful solution to the conflict, it must be brought to the fore and faced with the utmost clarity. Quite apart from immediate reasons of friction - ranging from problems related to water intake to the opening of roads to service the settlements which run through the countryside, thus leading to expropriations and the consequent disruption of the rural territories - their presence is in itself a source of tension as it is a sign of Israel's current or future pretension to annex the portion of Palestinian territory where the settlements stand.Even if someone had not understood this, which frankly seems impossible, looking at the inhabitants of these settlements, who (besides some exceptions that we will talk about later) are generally extremists who live in and guard the settlements as though they were outposts of a future conquest, the situation is clear. It must first be noted that the distinction between the settlements defined as legal because authorized and desired by the Israeli authorities and those identified as illegal because not authorized and unwanted is a false problem. The settlements are all illegal. They are illegal under international law, which states that an occupying power cannot establish colonies of its own citizens in occupied territory. It is not polite to remind the Israelis that not even Nazi Germany dared to do this in the European countries it had invaded, even in regions with a historically German culture like Alsace in France and the Sudetenland in Czechoslovakia. It is not polite, but it is so significant that it cannot be kept quiet.Apart from some meager compromises, no peace is possible until the settlements as a whole are withdrawn. Nothing can reasonably justify them. On the one hand, it must be demanded that the Palestinian Authority guarantee the security of Israel, and that the Israeli settlements be withdrawn. On the other hand, the one implies the other: as long as the settlements remain, with all the consequences that go with them, the Authority cannot achieve effective control of the territory that was, in theory, entrusted to it.

If you were one of the lucky developers to get an ADT-1 at Google I/O this year, or from the form for developers, you've probably wanted to use it as a replacement for your Chromecast. By default the ADT-1 only supports casting to a select few applications:
- YouTube
- Netflix
- Google+ Photos
- Google Play Movies and TV (Android and iOS only)
- Google Play Music
- Mirror your Android device screen to ADT-1
We can fix this with a simple modification to your ADT-1 using a custom ClockworkMod Recovery and a simple text editor.
Enable USB Debugging
You'll need to enabled USB debugging before you can do anything.
- Go to the home screen
- Go to Settings > About
- Click on the Build Number 8 times (until it says you're a developer)
- Go back to the home screen
- Go to Settings > Developer options > Debugging
- Change USB debugging to On
Flash CWM Recovery
Enabling Chromecast for other applications (such as Plex and Songza) is pretty easy. We first need to reboot into the bootloader and flash a custom recovery:
adb reboot bootloader fastboot flash recovery cwm_molly_recovery_lpx13d.img
You'll need to reboot into the recovery now, click the back button to highlight the Recovery Kernel option (less than 1 second to switch) then hold the button down for over a second to select it.
Once you're in the recovery you can choose to do a backup in case you can't get things fixed up.
Mount the System Partition
We'll need to mount the /system partition to a new folder, the one that is already mounted is from the recovery drive.
adb shell $ mkdir /main_system $ mount -o rw /dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/by-name/system /main_system
Download and Modify build.prop
We need to download the current boot.prop, and also back it up.
adb shell $ cd /main_system $ cp build.prop build.prop.bak
On your system (not in adb shell)
adb pull /main_system/build.prop
Modify build.prop, you want to change the following:
to be:
And then push things back up to the ADT-1 and fix permissions
adb push build.prop /main_system/build.prop adb shell $ cd /main_system $ chmod 0644 build.prop
That's it, you can reboot now:
adb reboot
Stuck in a Boot Loop?
If you get stuck in a boot loop the permissions probably weren't fixed on the build.prop, or another setting was changed. You can reboot into the bootloader by holding down the rear button while powering on, then choosing the recovery kernel option again. Once there you can remount the system partition again and try fixing the permissions using chmod.
You can also restore the original factory images using this zip and the custom recovery if you want to start fresh.
