Actual Wisdom: Philip Protter
Written by Bwog Staff
December 22, 20156:08 pm 4 Comments
The outpouring of actual wisdom continues with Statistics professor Phillip Protter, who talks surprisingly little about statistics and surprisingly a lot about football and coffee houses.
Justify your existence in 30 words or fewer: I click to save the world, therefore I am.
Claim to fame: I took second in the mile relay for the state of California my junior year of high school; not much has happened since then.
What's your most valuable or unexpected college experience? I disproved most of modern chemistry in my chem labs, and nobody cared.
Back in my day… Postcard postage was 3 cents and a college friend spent $477 for one telephone call to his girlfriend in Europe (in today's dollars).
What's the craziest student excuse/extension story you've heard? He stayed up all night to study and then slept through the evening exam.
Would you rather give up oral sex or cheese? I love mushrooms, but when I became allergic to them I had to give them up. I learned I can give up, if necessary, any given food, including cheese.
What are three things you learned at Columbia?
- Successful football might not be essential to the success of a university.
- Cinderblock architecture is suboptimal.
- An insufficient number of local coffee houses does not seem to affect student academic performance as much as one might a priori think.
What's your advice to students/academics/the human race in general? Students: get help when you need it. Academics: Get help. The human race: Global climate change is real. Please change your behavior.
Picture via the mushroom lover himself
Tags: 'please change your behavior' what a kind way of telling everyone to stop fucking up the planet, actual wisdom, but if cinderblock architecture is suboptimal what kind of architecture is superoptimal?, don't stay up all night to study folks. you never know when it might make you miss your exam, you can give up any food if necessary? give us some of your willpower

Gay ban newly defended
The federal government asked a federal judge in California to act swiftly to put on hold her ruling striking down the Pentagon's anti-gay "don't ask/don't tell" policy. If the judge does not do so by Monday, the government will ask a Circuit Court to delay it.
Saying it does not favor a continued ban on gays serving openly in the U.S. military, the Obama Administration nevertheless said it would defend it for the time being, and moved on Thursday evening to get a federal judge to put on hold her ruling striking down the "don't ask/don't tell" policy. The issues are so urgent and grave, the Justice Department told the judge, she should act on the request by next Monday.
The flurry of filings in the District Court in Riverside, CA, included an emergency stay application here, a legal memorandum supporting it here, sworn staements by a Pentagon official and a government lawyer, a proposed stay order here, and a formal notice of appeal to the Ninth Circuit Court.

Without Him - Poem by Jessica mullen
the days without you
without you my mind turns
with out you the rain falls gently
without you my grandma shines even more
without you the eagles fly and the earth turns
theses days without you
without you the breeze gets colder
without you i move on with this life
without you i would die, but as this world revives
i can live without you, getting stronger everyday,
without you the sun shines
without you my hands freeze
the days feel longer without u
without you the tides all change
without you the ocean crashes and i cry out
without you the moon glows and the river flows slowly
as we all revive from this without you ness, its being
the days get colder without you
without you that has made us all realize how our ears hear,
and how our hearts all beat,
without you my mother breathes, and my brother dreamz
without my sister carries,
without you i am the one too look over them.
without you i feel blue,
without you all i hear is u in the rain
why is it me that has to be without you
so now my life goes on and with someone new, letting him in
is hard but the more i get to know him is the more it seems easier.
knowning ill never forget u its just the part about being without you
is what the hard part really is. So as we live without you and u live without
us, in away ur telling us to go ahead and be free knowning our love for each other will always be the same way.
Theses days without you
has made us all know about life and how special it us so thank you for giving us
the strength and love too finally let go and just miss you. knowning we can never get
you back, with all the mopping and crying ur with us and thats that, and were here with new people to care for....so yeah without you has sucked but its time to leave and let go, ill always love you my Dear Papa Mullen! ! ! ! ! !

I usually try to keep things local around here, but some things are too important/cute/interesting to ignore. Japan is reportedly using $29 million of the $230 billion specified for disaster relief to fund the annual whaling hunt. You can see the article here. It mentions that a lot of the money is going towards building up their security efforts. Apparently they have a lot of problems with Sea Shepherd. Sea Shepherd is a non-profit whose mission is "to end the destruction of habitat and slaughter of wildlife in the world's oceans in order to conserve and protect ecosystems and species." According to the HuffPo article, a Sea Shepherd boat was sunk after its bow was taken off during a collision with a whaling ship. And who needs the security? I think that's kind of crazy, but what do you all think? After reading the article, do you find those expenditures justified or necessary? How about the funds for security?

This is to inform all prospective corps members, i.e. Nigerians who have graduated from Universities and Mono/Polytechnics both home and abroad, that the NYSC On-line registration portal will be opened from 26th March to 8th April 2018 to enable them register for the 2018 Batch 'A' mobilization.
NYSC Online Registration Procedure and Requirements.
In order to ensure a seamless registration, Prospective Corps Members (PCM) are to note the following for strict compliance:
- The Website address is any of the following:
- portal.nysc.org.ng/nysc1/
- www.nysc.gov.ng
- www.nysc.org.ng
- Check Senate list for verification of your records.
- If you are registering for the first time, click on " Registration for Mobilization 2018 Batch A".
- If you have registered previously and did not complete your Registration or Submit, do not create a new account instead click on "Login Here" to continue your registration with your previous Username and Password.
- If you were mobilized in the previous Batches and have registered online before but unable to proceed to Orientation Camp, Click on "Revalidation" link to re-validate your registration.
- PCM should ensure that they have functional e-mail addresses that they can access and Nigerian (GSM) telephone numbers with which to register.
- Locally trained PCM are expected to use correct Matriculation numbers to register.
- For locally-trained graduates, only those whose names appear in the Senate/Academic Board Approved Result lists submitted by their Institutions will have access to the register on the NYSC portal.
- Foreign-trained PCM should ensure that their Institutions are accredited. Where in doubt, it is their responsibility to approach Federal Ministry of Education for verification. The letter of verification must be uploaded during registration.
- Those who graduated from Institutions outside Nigeria, (Foreign-trained graduates), are to visit the NYSC portal, register and upload the following documents:
- It is the responsibility of the prospective corps members who studied in non-English speaking countries to get their Certificates and Transcripts translated into English language before uploading.
- All graduates of Medicine, Veterinary Medicine, Physiotheraphy, Radiology, Optometry, Medical Laboratory Science and Pharmacy are expected to have their Certificates of Registration with their professional bodies. Payment receipts are not acceptable.
- Unlike in the past, Foreign-trained graduates should NOT visit NYSC Headquarters, Abuja for verification of their documents. This exercise will now be done at the Orientation Camps. They should simply print their call-up letters on-line and report at the Orientation camps in their States of deployment, but should come to the camp with the original documents they uploaded for verification.
- Anybody who presents any fake document will be demobilized and decamped.
- Prospective corps members should ensure that Passport photographs used meet the following specifications:
- Ensure your face (eyes, nose, ears, mouth and jaw) is fully shown without bending
- Ensure the picture fills the frame and centralized
- Ensure the Photo background is white or off-white with no shadow.
- On no account should prospective corps members register by PROXY. They should also remember the fingers used for their biometric capturing as these will be used for verification at the orientation camps. Those who cannot be verified with their biometric at the orientation camp will not be registered.
- Only prospective corps members who want their call-up numbers sent to them through SMS and wish to PRINT their call-up letters on-line are expected to pay the sum of Three Thousand Naira (N3,000.00) (see NYSC Portal on how to make payment).
- PCM who do not want to pay the N3,000.00 have the option of going to their schools to collect their call-up numbers and call-up letters.
- All prospective corps members who paid for the online registration before but were not mobilized need not pay again.
- Married female prospective corps members (whether locally or foreign-trained) should upload copies of their marriage Certificates, evidence of Change of name and their husbands' place of domicile during registration.
- The orientation camp is highly not ideal for pregnant and nursing mothers. Prospective corps members in this categoriy are therefore to note that they will not be accommodated.
- All Part-time graduates are expected to register online and wait for collection of their Letter of Exclusion at their various Institutions. For those willing to print the Letter of Exclusion online, this can be done on payment of Three Thousand Naira (N3, 000.00) only.
- PLEASE NOTE THAT ONCE THE PORTAL IS CLOSED ON 8th April 2018, THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER REGISTRATION.

Quick Reference
A term coined by Norbert Elias to describe the process whereby popular cultural activities or folk games were changed by the development of codes of conduct and rules, and by changing conceptions of the acceptable limits of violence. Elias referred to the '"sportization" of pastimes…as a shorthand for their transformation in English society into sports and the export of some of them on an almost global scale' (Quest for Excitement: Sport and Leisure in the Civilizing Process, with Eric Dunning, 1986).

Photography apps have never been more popular. Over the last few years alone, the digital age has come alive and with more Smartphones and tablets giving users the ability to take photos. However, standard cameras can be good but not quite good enough to offer a high-quality standard as a professional digital camera.
That problem has led to many app creators to come up with the idea of photo apps so that users can take pictures and improve the look of their pictures as well. So, what are the top seven photography apps you might want to check out today? Read on to find out more.
The Pudding Camera
Built for Android, the Pudding Camera is an excellent photography app. If you wanted to replace the current camera on an Android device, this could be the ideal solution as it offers a quality finish.
Users will have the ability to choose from nine different high-quality cameras and the effects are endless too. Motion shots are available with a retro film and there are also panoramic and vintage films too. This has to be one of the very best photography apps of today and it's even free so that's even better!
The Camera +
For those who have Apple devices such as the iPad and the iPhone, the Camera + has to be the ideal photo app for you; it's fast, effective, and very easy to use. Anyone who wants to replace their current camera option might want to consider the Camera +. This really offers a lot of features that adds more charm and appeal to your photos and you get to be more in control of how you take a picture. You can play around with the focus and exposure which is great and with a few taps of your finger you can totally change the photo around.
This app has become one of the most popular applications of all time. Instagram allows you to take photographs, share them with other people and edit them too. This is truly the photo app for you and the best thing of all, you can use it as a social networking site. It's multi-functional and that's really impressive. However, Instagram does offer a lot of simple features for photography and it's easy to use as well.
Photo Grid
For those who are using Instagram, Photo Grid might be ideal. Photo Grid is able to run with a host of operating systems such as Android, IOS, and Windows Phone 8 and can be used to take Instagram photos. There are a wide variety of features allowing you to rearrange the photos however you like. Photography apps like this don't come around very often so it's nice to see how well this works out. The added features are great too and you can really be as creative as you like here. checkout latest information at http://www.techrepublic.com/article/three-awesome-free-photo-editors/
Another great photography app has to be
Hipstamatic. This app is very impressive to say the least as it allows users the ability to shoot square photos. When you shoot the photos and you see them for the first time after, you will see there is a nice vintage feel to them. It can appear as though you've taken the pictures with an old or antique camera. It's a nice touch and it has to be one of the best photography apps of today. You can choose your effects and there are lots of options to consider as well.
The 360 Panorama
For those who love to take panorama shots, the 360 Panorama has to be the one for you. This is truly a wonderful app and one that can also process the photo in real time which isn't often seen today. There is a real quickness or snappy feel to the app and that is really nice to say the least. What is more, you can get a simple app without any difficulty. Photography apps such as this will make taking photos easier than ever before.
Snap Seed
Snap Seed is a great little tool for Android and Apple based devices. You have the ability to edit a photo and really make it unique! However, the app is easy to use even when you haven't used any photo editing apps before. You can mix up the contrast, brightness, and a whole lot of other things if you so wish. There are also lots of filters to choose from and as one of the best photography apps, it offers lots of great features. This isn't a free app, however, but it doesn't cost a lot of money either so you shouldn't have to worry too much about costs. for more information, visit their official website.
Make Your Photos Unique
Who wouldn't want to create unique and exciting photographs? Sometimes, a standard camera doesn't offer what you need from it and it's a big problem with a lot of smart phones and tablet PC's.
However, with simple photo apps, you can see a simpler and more effective way of crafting a photograph however you would like. Why not use photography apps and see how creative you can be?

Hello everyone!
Hope this blog post finds you well. I am happy. I am thinking about my future. I am ready to make changes. I just have to decide what I want to do. I am not sure what I want to do. But I am ready to change something. I'm tired of things being the same way all the time. This is my year and it will be different. My foot is feeling better. I am able to walk on it and I am going to try regular shoes at some point. I just know I will be able to go back to work in February. Actually I don't know, but I am working towards that so I can work long enough to give my notice and leave. I don't want to go back to working at the school. I'm miserable and I hate it there. My bosses are the only reason I like it and that's not good enough reason to stay. I want to be a leader. I want to inspire people. I want to be help people. I found this job. It's in Huntersville, NC. So it's about an hour from where I will live in Winston, but I think it would be worth. It's full time and the pay is good. If I enjoy my job the hour drive would be so bad. It's the perfect job for me. The job is Wellness Department Manager. I think it would be the perfect thing for me. I just have to decide whether to apply for it. I'll keep you posted… That's all for now.
Have a great day!
Much love to you,

Just couple of days ago, the name Bharara was not known in Turkey. He had some 8K followers on Twitter and would not imagine it multiplied with two-score, even more. Today, he is the hope of many millions in Turkey. A comment about him at one of Turkey's most visited websites, for example, says that "I swear that I want to hug him and tell him a lot of things while crying. We are so depressed, don't upset us". It went to the level that his 34th tweet is a response to a Turkish citizen, who asked if he wanted anything from Turkey, saying "I love shish kebab but I do not think I can accept gifts just for doing my job".
What is this sudden display of love through him?
The answer is found in the recent history, namely 17-25 December 2013 corruption scandal in Turkey. Celal Kara, a public prosecutor, started an operation in which all the suspects were members of the government, especially Erdogan, their family members, including Erdogan's both sons, and high officials as well as businessmen, including Reza Zarrab. Also we learned about the name Babak Zanjani, who is to be hanged because of the same accusations, in Iran. The accusations were bribery, corruption, fraud, money laundering and gold smuggling.
The picture was beyond imagination even for us, who are used to live with these accusations. In the home of Suleyman Aslan, the director of state-owned Halkbank, for example, 4.5 million dollars were found in shoeboxes. We of course had guesses but were not even close to what we saw. Considering what we did not see is beyond the accusations, which is billions of dollars owned by a small political elite including, of course, Erdogan, ex-prime minister and current president, we still are enraged against those people.
What happened back then? In short, we watched a dirty show in which there was no sign of shame, honour, or law. The millions of dollars in the home of Aslan, for example, were laundered once more saying that it was collected from donators to establish a university abroad. We, they said, the terrorists, were against the state and the government, so that were accusing good-willed people. The money was returned to him, we did not see a university and a vast majority of the country forgot about it already.
Well, some did not.
There was going to be a second wave of arrests, which could not be done because the head of Istanbul police was changed. Even though the order was given by the public prosecutor, the police did not follow it. Hundreds of police were removed from their positions, who later were arrested as terrorists. We watched two public prosecutors being added to the case, who closed it when they were assigned. For Erdogan this was a judicial coup by those who were jealous of his success, and the state ended that day, with Turkey turning into a party-state.
Erdogan was right that he was the main target of the operation. Considering that Erdogan Bayraktar, one of the ministers that were accused in the scandal, saying "I did all in coordination and approval of Erdogan, so he should resign like him", we have enough evidence to believe that he was right. After a law was passed which increased the government control over law, which means Erdogan's control, we have been sure that what is seen so far is just a drop in the ocean.
On 30 March 2014, we saw the success of Erdogan once more during the local elections. He told people that there was a coup attempt by the enemies of the state. It is worth to stress that not his political opponents but the enemies of the state. We, not for the first time, were labelled as terrorists and public enemy number one. We watched them clearing their names while abolishing the law, ending the state and suppressing us even more.
It is an interesting experience to be an opponent in a fascist regime. You see what is going on, but you cannot spell out what you see. You suffer from it but millions do not believe you while the other millions can hardly, if ever, hear you. You are on the edge of insanity but have to stay calm and try to keep living. You collect all you see, feel, hear, live through, suffer from, anger, hopelessness, hate, rage… until a time which you do not know when, if ever, will come.
When you lose hope, you lose the human in you. So you keep hoping, even though you know that it will not come true.
Bharara gave us that. Bharara gave us the hope that even if not in our own country, even if not by our public prosecutors, even if not by our courts, there might be the chance that at least some unlawful acts will be punished. Maybe on the other half of the mother Earth, someone will ask for what is done to us. Maybe someone will prove that our supreme leader, our fascist leader, the person and millions of people that leave no space for us to live, will be punished. We know that it will not affect anything in our daily lives. I guess, and know, that we will be suppressed even more, maybe our lives will be threatened and taken from us. But to keep sane, not to lose the last piece of hope, not to be absent of the last piece of humanity in us, we have hopes now.
Bharara gave us hope. I wish, I would beg him, not to agree in any deal with Zarrab and to show to the world what has happened, and is happening, in Turkey. Even if it will cost my life, I would not hesitate even for a second.
I lost my adolescence in Turkey. I am losing my adulthood in Turkey. Maybe I can smile, I can be happy for once.
That is what happened in Turkey. That is why Bharara is (some of) our national hero now.

Notice Anything Different?
After much deliberation, voting, lobbying, and discussion (not uncommon in a family with a teacher and an attorney for parents), we decided on the design above as our logo! Our very generous friend, Nadine of Grow Design supplied us with several beautiful design options, she does amazing work! I think she did a great job of really representing who Court's Kids really is. Not only do you get a clear sense of what we do from the books in the title but the font and the colors help to create that youthful, playful and fun feeling. I'm so excited about having this piece complete. Next up we'll be working on a brochure with Nadine and a more formal design for the book labels.
Tomorrow should be another big day, I have an appointment to drop off our second donation box of 125 books to the Vancouver Early Childhood Center. I can't wait!
Little by Little,
Sandi Z. permalinkOctober 22, 2009 3:25 pm
I love the logo! Courtney would love the bit of fun and whimsy it conveys. I hope the Vancouver program finds sharing the books with families and teachers as meaningful as we have. Take Care, you all are amazing! Love, Sandi & the Klamath ECI staff.
Glena Brown Muncrief permalinkOctober 25, 2009 3:15 pm
Kiki, I just heard about Courtney's passing THIS week and wrote your mom yesterday. After reading all of your blog and seeing the pictures, I feel a little more in touch with all of you. We, the school folks in Cloudcroft, were with Courtney and your mom as C was really stretching the boundaries and testing her wings. Isn't it funny how the hard-headed, independent "toots" in school usually turn those traits into something GREAT? Courtney obviously loved and nurtured her own kids, had a degree in sight, and loved all of you.
My prayers for all of you and thanks so much for allowing all of us to share Court's Kids with you.

Captain Jack is Back
It has been four years since we last saw Captain Jack Sparrow sailing off to the Fountain of Youth in his dinghy. And now, he's back.
I'm so excited. I've always enjoyed Pirates of the Caribbean. And I'm looking forward to seeing the movie this weekend.
Will you be seeing it?

I'm at Walt Disney World!

Recapping Recent Events
I'm very behind on my General Hospital.
The last two weeks have featured AP tests, which I have devoted my time around. And this weekend, I will be heading out to Walt Disney World.
So the GH recaps will have to be put on hold for a little while. But, they'll be back!
Tomorrow, I have a special column about the Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides premiere.
May 20th keeps getting closer...

GH Weekly Roundup: Week of April 11
Brandon is dead. And that means we have another whodunit storyline. And even if I could picture Michael (dubbed Mykill be some fans) killing Brandon because he had to "protect" Abby. And this is what gets me angry folks. So prepare for a rant!
I was happy with the new Michael. I thought he learned his lesson after he left prison. But it turns out I was wrong. Michael has become infatuated with a stripper who is 10 years older that him. He feels like he needs to protect her, and Abby goes along with it. The bimbo even dropped the charges against her would-be rapist so Michael would be ok.
Naturally, Carly wanted Abby to keep her distance during the investigation, which has included suspicions towards Jason, Michael, and Johnny. But no matter what happens with Abby, Michael still is in trouble.
Earlier in the week, Michael approached Johnny about possibly killing Brandon. Sonny and Dante are both convinced that Johnny did kill Brandon, and Sonny is worried that because he will not have Michael in his organization, Johnny wants Michael to join his. Johnny denied the murder, and even went so far as to warn Michael about what the organization does to people. Though he basically recapped what everyone else has said, Johnny also offered a unique perspective as someone who grew up in the organization and was deeply affected by it. And although he said he would never offer him a job, Johnny said that he would never turn Michael down if he wanted one.
Unfortunately, this Michael drama has overshadowed the death of Jake. And although I would have liked the storyline to focus less on Jason, it has been pretty engaging so far. Luke trashed the Haunted Star and was about to burn it, but Lulu made him stop and took care of the situation. Everyone around Luke is trying to help him. I bet Luke will go to rehab over the summer instead of going on an adventure.
In other Jake-related news, Carly also approached Sam about having a baby with Jason to help him get over his guilt at not being there for his son. I can't really sympathize with Jason because he chose to give up his son, but whatever. The point is, Carly volunteered to be a surrogate. Sam, however, turned her down.
Weeks after the tragic event, Elizabeth has stumbled upon the letter she was about to read before Jake was hit. The letter has to do with Aiden's paternity. It turns out Lucky is the father (but we all knew that already). Maxie stumbled upon the letter, and hid it from Nikolas and Lucky. She later approached Elizabeth and gave the results to her. Is this the formation of an alliance, perchance?
Oh, and Brooke left this week. But in all honesty, who really cares? It will be Nikolas's departure that will have a huge effect.
Lisa has befriended Kristina over her college acceptance anxiety, with disastrous affects. She gave the girl an "herbal" remedy to reduce the stress, but the remedy was really a couple of narcotics.
Finally, Brenda has been bonding with Lucian. Sonny is obviously not too fond of the little guy, and he sure as hell doesn't trust Suzanne. However, after a conversation with Michael, she has learned what it is like to have a child in the world of the mob. So how will she react to this?
Have you bought your copy of The Secret Life of Damien Spinelli? I'm really looking forward to reading it...

My GH column will be up tomorrow, but there's something else I'd like to discuss. By now, I'm sure you all have heard the news...
ABC has canceled two out of its three daytime soaps. The cancelation of daytime staples One Life to Live and All My Children was announced late last week. This follows the announcement of the changeover of SOAPNet to Disney Junior early next year.
All My Children will end in the fall. One Life to Live will end in January of 2012, around the same time when SOAPNet will cease to exist. The shows will be replaced by "The Chew" and "The Revolution", crappy reality shows.
My heart goes out to the millions of fans who are losing these shows. No matter how much it may hurt to lose a primetime show, it is nothing compared to losing a daytime show. Soap operas air Mon-Fri all year round, whereas a primetime show will air one new episode each week for about 22 weeks. There is a big difference, as you can see.
Many GH fans are worried now. There are some who are aggrivated with head writer Robert Guza. And that is understandable. But we must not give up on our soap opera. Brian Fons, head of ABC Daytime, stated that GH will not be affected by this. But this is the same man who a short time ago stated that all of the ABC soaps were safe. Hopefully, people will turn to General Hospital after their soaps have ended for their daytime fix. Invite friends to watch, too.
In the meantime, I will be posting people to contact later this week to make your voices heard.
Let's hope the age of the soap opera is not about to end just yet...

On Stranger Tides
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides is, without a doubt, one of the most anticipated movies of the summer. Are you ready to join Captain Jack Sparrow and the rest on a voyage to the fountain of youth? Speaking of which, here are the main cast:
Also, here is the latest trailer that was released. It tells more of the story, and interestingly enough, The Black Pearl has been captured again.
Disneyland is also hosting a special preview of the movie on weekends, complete with Meet and Greets with the infamous Jack Sparrow.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides sets sail into theaters on May 20, 2011.

Could This Week be Any Worse?
It's been a pretty lousy week. The 8.9 earthquake has left who knows how many dead, and many more injured. The effects of the quake can be felt around the world. I'm praying for those affected by this terrible tragedy, and i hope you are, too. Please donate what you can to help those affected!
Meanwhile, closer to home, I lost my grandma this week. In light of this, I will be taking a little time off. I'll still try to to my Fringe coulumn for this week, however.
Thanks for understanding. God Bless.

GH Weekly Roundup: Week of February 28
Sam survived the explosion. But all was not well. For most of the week, Sam was deaf due to the bomb's blast. Molly decided to help her by teaching her sign language. Of course, Sam was able to speak with everyone, and could "hear" what they were saying. But that thought was very sweet.
Sometime last week, when Sam went to go stretch her legs, she fainted. This is always a sign that a woman is pregnant. Is that the case this time? I guess we'll see...
Jason was very, very concerned with Sam's well-being. He barely moved from the hospital during the time she was in the hospital. Nothing else mattered. If only Jason was like that when Sam's healthy. Who cares about Carly or Brenda?
Just when Michael starts becoming likable when Chad Duell takes over the role, the progress stops. It appears as though Michael once again wants to prove to his dad that he can "handle it", whatever the hell that means. NEWSFLASH Michael. You have a long life ahead with enough money to do whatever the hell you want. Do something productive. Get the hell out of the mob.
Anyway, so Michael was told by Molly who she thought the almost-killer of Shawn was, and he went after him. The guy pulled a gun on Michael, and Michael threatened him. Thank God Dante was able to intervene.
Dante took the guy into question him. And Sonny showed up. If you remember, Dante lost any like he had for the man when he found Sonny trying to torture Shawn. Throughout last week, Dante kept fighting with Sonny about how to go about finding Brenda- through the proper legal channels, or Sonny's way. But they found a way to compromise. Sonny paid the gunman's bail, and would take charge of him. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
Dante and Sonny were not the only ones to disagree. Sonny came to The Metro Court to ask Carly for info any info that Theo might have left. But Jax refused to relinquish this info for Sonny, leaving Sonny angry. However, in a stunning move, Carly agreed with Jax. She later told him that she hoped her kids would turn out like Jax instead of Sonny.
Brenda is now in the clutches of Theo. However, that waiter guy appears to be on Brenda's side as well. He even wanted tried to give Sonny info on Brenda, but ran away because another one of the Balkan's men was watching him. Suzanne may also be on Brenda's side. Theo and Suzanne are currently second guessing each other. Theo believes that Suzanne knows more than she's telling. And Suzanne is starting to feel remorse, such as when she visited Sam.
Something tells me we will be discovering Aiden's real paternity soon. It will be a day of relief when the truth is finally revealed. I wonder if Helena will be back when this occurs?
Lastly, Franco called Jason again talking about his "very busy weekend". He also announced he will be back in Port Charles soon, and that he has a present. What could it be?

GH Weekly Roundup: Week of February 21
Only in a soap opera does a single day last an entire week. We were treated to a week long celebration of Sonny and Brenda's wedding, which in true GH fashion, had many twists and turns.
Carly, of course, was a bitch had hunted Brenda down to show her what she had found. But that didn't scare Brenda away. Brenda walked down the aisle to marry Sonny, but when it came time to "speak now or forever old your peace", Brenda objected. It thrilled Carly, and confused Sonny. Carly explained everything she thought she knew to the entire crowd. But she was wrong.
Even though, Sonny looked furious at Dante and Brenda. But Dante then stepped forward and told everyone the truth. And the truth, as I suspected, was about Alexander actually being the father of the child. Dante claimed to be the father to protect Brenda and the baby. And though Sonny was still mad at this revelation, he begged Brenda to marry him because he loved her so much. And she did.
And the wedding seemed to be going well. There was no sign of the Balkan. Jason and Sam were able to recruit Shawn on to their side. The Balkan had planned to meet with Shawn, and it looked like things were going right.
Michael kissed Abbey if you remember, but to be honest, I hate this relationship. I have no sympathy for Abbey's place she is in first of all, and second of all, all she does is whine. Plus the age thing is just weird for me. That's all I will say at this time.
But things took a turn for a worse. After a night of celebration, as Sonny was preparing to accompany Brenda in the limo, it exploded. And all hell broke lose.
Ethan swiftly took the kids home, who were very upset. To calm them down, they played some cards. But later that night, Kristina told Ethan that she still liked him and that she would wait for him until his marriage with Maya was over. Now where did this come from? (Off-topic, but did anyone see Haley Pullos, who plays Molly, on House? That girl was able to hold her own against Hugh Laurie. Kudos to her, she's a great actress!).
Jax's reaction may have been a little over the top (telling Sonny to kill himself), but the scene was intense. And now that Carly's plan seems to have stalled, maybe she will try to work on her marriage with Jax.
While the fallout was occurring, Jason and Shawn were attacked by gunmen. Shawn was shot, but Jason got away. He then went to comfort Sonny, which was touching.
The last thing to be revealed was that Sam was actually in the limo when it blew up. How did that happen? Was it the Balkan's fault? Or was it Franco, who called Jason and asked him if he "enjoyed the fireworks"? We don't know, because Franco had a big event to go to (Academy Awards, anyone?) (remember, he was also "between a rock and a hard place). Could the reference to Brenda Franco made before he left last July have anything to do with this?
It's been a great week on GH, and I suspect this will continue next week!

Fringe: "Subject 13"
I can never get tired of the 80s retro-themed Fringe intro. Or Walter's hair, either. Do you?
Several months after the events in the season 2 episode "Peter", Peter wanted to get back to his home at the bottom of the lake. Unfortunately for him, his real home is much farther in dimensional space than the lake. His home in in the alternate universe, where Walternate and Alt-Elizabeth are grief stricken.
Their marriage is falling apart. Walternate, who has built the "Star Wars" defense system has turned to drinking, and buries himself in his work at Bishop Dynamics.
But, back to our universe... Peter no longer trusts Walter or Elizabeth and continues to tell them that they are not his real parents. Both Walter and Elizabeth chalk this up to Peter's sickness, but it falls on deaf ears. Worried that Peter might try to kill himself, Elizabeth takes Peter to Jacksonville where Walter is doing the Cortexiphan trials on several kids, including Subject 13, aka Olivia Dunham.
Olivia, as she would explain to an adult Peter many years later, was abused as a child by her stepdad. As we saw last night, during times when she was scared, Olivia would be able to travel Over There for a few moments. After one trip, she drew a picture of a blimp that she saw Over There. (Also remember, that Olivia told Peter years later that she shot her stepfather when she was 9, though she didn't kill him. Shortly after that, the man left).
Walter realizes that Olivia can travel to The Other Side, and performs several tests to see exactly how she can travel to The Other Side. Because if she can, then Peter can go home. After several different tests, Walter concludes that fear is the reason she can travel. But when he tests this hypothesis, Olivia sets the room on fire. After this, Olivia runs away. Peter later goes after her, where the two meet in a field of white tulips. Peter convinces Olivia to return with him and face her fears.
They both return to the Day Care Center, where Olivia is notified that her stepdad is on his way over. Olivia is terrified, and begs to see Walter. She runs into his office, hands over her sketchbook, and tells Walter that her stepdad is hitting her. Upon telling him this, someone else comes in the room- Walter.
For a brief moment (which completely fooled me), Olivia traveled to The Other Side and told Walternate about everything that happened. She ends up telling Walter the same thing. Walter threatens Olivia's stepdad to not hurt her again.
Meanwhile, Peter approaches his "mother" and tells her he believes her and Walter. And even calls her Mom. Apparently, Olivia inspired Peter in the same fashion that he inspired Olivia. This huge secret causes Elizabeth to begin drinking, which will ultimately lead to her suicide years later over the guilt.
After looking through Olivia's sketchbook, Walter finds a drawing of Olivia and Peter. He calls up his wife, and tells her he has discovered what happened to Peter. The war between the Universes has begun.
Subject 13 was a really great episode. I'm curious how often we will be getting these type of episodes. After all, we are left with some questions. Why can't Peter and Olivia remember the stuff when they were young? And the longer we go without seeing Nina Sharp in the Alternate Universe, the more important I think she is.
Unfortunately, Fringe is not on next week. But we'll see a new episode in two weeks. Until then, this week's glyphs translate to:

GH Weekly Roundup: Week of February 14
Do you want to know something odd? I was watching The X-Files on BBC America the other day, and I saw a pretty long ad for Sonny and Brenda's wedding. I've never seen a GH ad on another channel before, so I'm wondering if this was a special occasion to mark Sonny and Brenda's wedding after all these years.
Naturally, I have to open this week's column with the brand new revelation- Theo "The Balkan" Hoffman is married to Suzanne Stanwyk. And their son in Alexander. Though some might have suspected it, this caught me completely off-guard. Suzanne always seemed like she truly liked Brenda and that a friendship is there. So it really surprised me when it was revealed she was plotting to make Brenda pay.
Although I wasn't really surprised when it was revealed that Suzanne was trying to sabotage the wedding. But she apologized and Brenda forgave her. The way the interact, and Suzanne's reaction to Theo's wine toast before the wedding make me believe that Suzanne will try to help Brenda. Maybe it's just that Suzanne doesn't seem like a villain to me.
Carly, on the other hand, is bent on stopping this wedding. She really needs to just knock it off. Sonny took the precautions to stop Carly at any cost. And that includes having Max and Milo look after her. I love Max and Milo, but they seriously are inept. Sonny should have known that. Carly was easily able to get past the guards and run to the church where the wedding is being held up. We last saw her threatening to reveal Brenda's secret to everyone. If I were to bet, my guess is that Brenda has already told Sonny the truth about what happened in 2007. And only Sonny knows.
Meanwhile the wedding the being held up due to Jason's absence. Spinelli found out through DNA evidence that Theo is The Balkan. He was able to piece all the other occurrences together, and Sam, Jason, and Spinelli went to go contact Theo at his office. But when they got there, they found Molly. Molly had just overheard Theo say that he is the Balkan. As Molly and Spinelli went to the chapel, Sam and Jason were off to the Metro Court to take care of Theo.
Shawn is also crashing the wedding. He has his orders to kidnap Brenda, but thus far has been unable to do his job. He should have asked Carly for help. I'm sure Carly would be very happy to do anything to stop this wedding.
After several weeks, Lucky and Siobhan were finally able to find Megan and are about to rescue her. Of course, there's some gunfire right now, but what rescue doesn't involve a little gunfire?
The wedding is just about to get really good. The previews are promising. Will Sonny and Brenda really marry? Will Brenda be kidnapped? Will the truth be revealed to everyone? Will Jason walk Brenda down the aisle?
In other news, supposedly Rebbecca Hearst will not be leaving GH! And thank God! I'll continue to track these rumors and be back soon!

Fringe: "6B"
I feel bad that I have not been doing my Fringe columns. Especially because Fringe is my favorite show that is currently on TV. And the possibility that this could be Fringe's last season. Of course, I don't want to believe that. So let's just hope that viewership goes up.
I've heard this episode being compared to The Twilight Zone, which I think is justified. Now, I wasn't alive when t\The Twilight Zone was on, but I have seen repeats of it. And though I can usually guess how each episode will end, I was unable to guess how "6B" would end.
The episode started like the usual Monster of the Week storyline, but with several twists. Two people arrive at a party and then the woman begins to choke. At first, I thought this must have something to do with the case. But then screams were heard from the balcony. And then people began to fall one after another. ("Like a flash mob... but suicide" as Walter would say). But what was doing this?
The entire episode was really about love. It was revealed that many people believed the apartment complex was haunted. However, Walter didn't believe in ghosts. He hypothesized that in actuality, the universes were going to collide again, this time resulting in a black hole vortex similar to Madison Square Garden and other locations on The Other Side. This theory was confirmed when Olivia saw the widow's husband, but Peter could not.
But why could the widow see The Other Side? Olivia and Peter believed that the widow's deep love for her husband who died in a freak accident was the reason she could see him. And the widower on The Other Side could see the widow on Our Side because of his deep love for his wife who died in the same freak accident on The Other Side. (Sorry if that sentence was confusing!).
As Peter and Olivia tried to save the apartment building from being destroyed, Walter recalled one of their earliest cases together. Remember the bus with the people on it who were trapped in amber? Walter wanted to do what Walternet did on The Other Side- stop the vortex by encasing the complex in amber. They were able to construct the amber, and were fully prepared to use it.
But Peter and Olivia convinced the widow that the person she was seeing was not her husband. Though she didn't believe it at first, the widower's statement that "The girls miss you" convinced her that the man she was seeing was truly not her husband. And with that, she was able to let go, and balance to the universes was restored.
We then flashed over to The Other Side and saw the case from their Point of View. Fauxlivia and Lincoln were investigating the possibilities of a vortex forming in the same location. But upon arrival, they found nothing wrong. When they questioned the widower, he said nothing was wrong. After Fauxlivia and Lincoln left, the widower was seen looking at his photo album full of memories. The widow was doing the same thing.
The events that occurred in this week's case directly impacted Peter and Olivia's relationship. Walter failed trying to bring them together over pancakes, but Peter's statement to the widow about her love for her husband proved something to Olivia. Olivia was finally able to let go of whatever she was feeling towards Peter and Fauxlivia's relationship and want to be with Peter. The show ended with them traveling to Peter's bedroom to make love. The only bad thing was we weren't able to see it. (Perverted? Maybe. But after all that sexual tension, it would finally bring resolution to their relationship).
Meanwhile, Walter is grappling with what separates him from Walternet. We already learned there are somethings Walternet cannot do (harm children). Do the two share more than just looks? Perhaps we will find out next week, which appears to be a flashback that takes place after Peter was taken from The Other Side.
I have recently discovered what the Glyphs before the commercial breaks of Fringe mean. I'd like to end each column now revealing what they mean. This weeks glyphs are translated to:

GH Weekly Roundup: Week of February 7
Who destroyed Brenda's dress? At first, I thought it was Carly. After listening to Robin and Brenda talk badly about her, I assumed she destroyed the dress out of anger. And sure a hell, I wasn't the only person who believed this. Robin and Brenda think ti was Carly, as does Sonny. So what does this mean? It means Carly isn't the culprit. I'm sure she think of something to try to stop the wedding. Like Brenda's baby secret.
Oh yeah, I thought Brenda was going to tell Sonny about that? Well honey, the clock sure is ticking. I'm still betting the baby isn't Dante's.
Before Mac and Alexis shared a sweet Valentines Day dinner, Theo "The Balkan" Hoffman bullied her. Why doesn't Alexis fire his ass? I hope she's at least a little suspicious of the Balkan. He does like to bully a lot of people. You can add Dante and Brenda to that list. Oh, by the way, If I hear "wrongful death suit" once more, I'll crack. Maybe I should start a drinking game?
Theo tried to "help" Siobhan when Lucky fake arrested her. He must know by now that Siobhan and Lucky are not in Port Charles right now. I wonder what will happen then?
And please, just get Mac and Alexis together. For over a year now, they've been being set up together. Make it official already!
Also getting together on Thursday are Dante and Lulu. They're headed to the Opera, like old times. Yuck. But anyway, Lulu also knows about Michael. And when Dante told her he might quit the force after a doubt in his beliefs, Lulu and Michael convinced him to stay on the force. If GH needs anything, it's more likable cops like Dante. And less of people like Ronnie. Yuck again.
Is Sam pregnant? That's a question that is on everyones mind, especially mine. This is because when Sam was pregnant with Sonny's kid that she lost, I first started watching the show. I'm rooting for Sam, and I hope you are, too!
I'm so sick of Terrel. He's annoying and quite an imbecile. So I won't talk about him.
On Friday, GH played Patrick and Robin's wedding that occurred several years ago. And to be honest, I did not like it. I do like watching the occasional classic episodes. Episodes that are really engaging and worth a second look. Sweeps episodes, for example. Or a classic episode that I have never seen before.
Folks, we have a wedding on Friday. Will it happen? Will Sonny and Brenda finally be married after almost 17 years? Stay tuned...

Happy 10th Birthday, Disney's California Adventure
10 Years ago, DCA opened with not so much pomp and circumstance.
But if you fast forward to today, much has changed. I really don't need to go into what was wrong with DCA. But most of the things that were wrong are gone.
Think about it. DCA is truly on its way to becoming a great park. It's already become a full day park, with World of Color keeping guests inside late at night to witness the great show and see the park when it truly shines (pun intended).
Here is a pretty cool history of DCA. Take a look a see what's different, and what's to come.
There's still more to do, but I am now eagerly awaiting visiting DCA this summer. Are you?
Happy Birthday DCA, and many more to come!

GH Weekly Roundup: Week of January 31
The revelation finally came. Micheal admitted to Jason he was raped during some pretty compelling scenes. Of course, this revelation came after he witnessed Abbey being beat and almost raped. After experiencing some apprehension, Michael sprang into action to save Abbey, hurting her would be rapist in the process.
Dante was smart, and reported the crime, which will result in a court case for the stalker guy.
Slowly, others began to find out about what happened to him. Carly was first. Dante was next. And now Sonny knows, which Micheal doesn't seem to happy about. But when Carly found out, she ripped Dante apart. Carly, I hate to break it to you, but you also had a hand in sending Michael to prison, an even bigger hand than Dante. But will she ever admit that? No. Instead, she'll blame Dante over and over again.
Carly also has problems of her own. She once again wants a divorce from Jax. Jax never told her that his business trip to London involved searching for information about Jerry and Brenda. When Brenda spilled to Carly, she was furious. But what the hell is she going to do if she divorces Jax? Sonny doesn't want her because he finally has Brenda. Who else is left for her?
Brenda revealed what happened to her baby. She was pregnant, but had a miscarriage. I'm still betting that the baby is not Dante's. But I guess we'll see...
What's with this Shawn guy? He first helps Molly with PTSD, and then he's revealed to be a mercenary for the Balkan. He has thrown Johnny around and has also attacked Lucky and Siobhan. Perhaps he is being set up for redemption?
Also new to GH is this Terrel guy, an old flame of Lisa's who is going to seduce Robin to sleep with Lisa again. How fake is he? Who can't see that he is THROWING himself at Robin? It's pretty sick. I just hopes that Robin and Patrick will be able to fight Lisa's small, but growing army of fools.
Finally, why the hell has GH fired Liz? She is such a great actress, and has a long history with the show. She has the potential for a great storyline, yet she is still being fired. And what about the whole Aiden storyline? What about the other kids? What about Lucky?
Kill Lisa off. Kill Terrell off, while you're at it. You can get rid of all the Balkan people, in fact. Get rid of Abbey (her constant whining annoys me). Less Michael and Kristina are always a good option (even though Chad Duell has redeemed Michael in my eyes). But please, keep Elizabeth.

New Paradise Pier Posters
Hey y'all,
It's been a while since a Disney related post. But I thought this was cool...
For a while, I've been saying that Disney needs to make some DCA posters. Instead, we got some new Disneyland posters, which while really cool and appreciated, is not what I really wanted to see.
But now, Disney has released these posters. Which are really sweet!
The posters don't stop here. There are also World of Color, Tower of Terror, and other posters in the works. Where will these reside? Hopefully, across Paradise Pier. As for now, they'll be in the new Blue Sky Cellar Exhibit that opens on Firday.
The new Exhibit will feature new stuff about The Little Mermaid, some more of Carsland, and some info about the new Disney Junior show that is replacing Playhouse Disney. There are even going to be some sneak peeks about Phase II in Hollywoodland.
I'll cover the new Blue Sky Cellar when it opens. Until then, I guess we'll continue watching what's happening right now instead of what is to come.

Thank You, Martin Luther King Jr.
While it is always nice to have a day off. But, like always, it seems that many forget about what the day is truly about.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. did not just help Afircan Americans. He helped all Americans. And we honor him among the other great Americans for doing so.
Thank you for everything, Dr. King.

I wish I knew then, what I know now, when it comes to this special kind of relationship between a man and a woman, called "marriage" there are rules that you cannot break..
#Rule no. 1: A good marriage begins with a good financial condition, no debt, and sufficient monthly income.
In December 2005, I have a job, a monthly salary, some credit card debts, an unemployed boyfriend, and a request from his family that we should get married soon, like in January next year.. Without thinking too much about what will happen, I said yes.
I thought.. "Okay, so I have a jobless boyfriend, no money for the wedding ceremony, so what?" I used my credit card to pay the expenses.
Turns out, it was a horrible way to start a journey. Your income becomes limited because you have to pay the credit card debts, hence it is insufficient to pay for all your (and your jobless husband's) monthly expenses. Instead of being financially ready, I was financially DOOMED.
The stressful condition, lack of money, and the reality that my husband is still jobless, drove me crazy. I never thought that the fact that "I have a jobless boyfriend, and not enough money for a wedding ceremony but I decided to marry him anyway" can lead to such enormous problems! At the end of the first year, I was devastated, and I was ready to end my own marriage a couple of months before our first anniversary.
Lesson learned: You don't have to be rich to get married, but if you don't have enough money to make a 'normal' wedding ceremony, please be reasonable. Keep it simple, affordable, and do not give a damn about what other people say! Stay the hell out of DEBT, and make sure you have enough money to pay for you-and-your-partner's monthly expenses!
#Rule no. 2: A healthy marriage begins with a healthy mind, healthy emotion, and healthy way of communication from both person.
Before marriage, me and my husband were dating for almost two years. We've been having disagreements but were always able to solve it. But after marriage, both of us (especially him) started to show our 'real side' and domination. Every discussion, every question, and every decision were always made with tears (my tears). Like I said above, as the main breadwinner, I was dominating, and he was defensive.
I didn't remember how we solve this problem, but I do remember telling him that I want this to be over. I wanted to end our marriage. I was clueless, and I didn't have anything else on my mind but to be free from him.
That's when he promised to change. After giving some thoughts, I decided to give him a chance. Several days after our first anniversary, he finally got a job and have become a so much better person than he was before. Hopefully, he can say the same about me. Ever since that day, my husband have become a completely different person when it comes to struggling, decision making, and working his ass off. He truly have changed.
We have a solid communication with each other and we know our obligations. We both contribute to our household expenses and share the same amount of responsibility when it comes to decision making. I've been less dominating, and he started to show more control.
Second lesson learned. My marriage was rescued by our willingness to change, our willingness to accept each other mistakes, the belief for another chance, the willingness to communicate, and equal share of responsibility in decision making.
I am so proud of my husband, and even though it's not the best, I am also proud with our marriage. Looking back to 2006, I am grateful and amazed on how much our financial and mental condition has improved for the both of us. On May 2009 I gave birth to our first son, and on January 2012 we finally have enough money to buy our own house. We're still paying 15 years of mortgage, but we have plan to make the years shorter.
Those are the rules which I believe will create, and save, a healthy and happy marriage. I know things might not seem well at the beginning, and you feel like giving up your marriage, but it doesn't mean that things will not change. In the end, it takes more than just a boyfriend/girlfriend to marry someone, it takes a life-time of adaptation.

© 2006 SoundCircus / Warner Classics & Jazz | 2564 68437-4
Classical / Jazz / Avant-Garde Music / International / Modern Composition / Vocal Music / Minimalism
The cult figure Moondog, who performed on the streets of New York for over 30 years, meshed jazz, classical, Native American rhythms and poetry. With a lifelong fascination for the strict rules of canon-writing, and dubbed the father of minimalism, he composed more than eighty symphonies, three hundred rounds, countless percussion, organ and piano pieces, scores for brass bands and string orchestras, and five books called The Art of the Canon. Joanna MacGregor's stunning new arrangements of fourteen of Moondog's most famous pieces are re-imaginings for larger forces, with a spectacular line-up of some of today's most cutting-edge jazz musicians, along with the brilliant Britten Sinfonia. Radically rewritten, each track retains Moondog's irresistible trademarks - short and snappy, of the street, melodic and joyful, and characterized by a pounding beat.

In 1989 when Lutheran Hospital closed its doors in West Baltimore's Rosemont neighborhood, no one thought the building would still stand empty 14 years later, becoming one of the city's largest symbols of blight and community decline.
"That hospital was a mainstay in this neighborhood. And, when they pulled out, it sent us into a tailspin," said Robert Hunt, president of the Rosemont Neighborhood Improvement Association. "People moved out, and we've had deterioration ever since."
While the hospital's demise was viewed as a catalyst in the once-desirable middle-class neighborhood's deterioration, Hunt and others believe that same 6-acre parcel could become Rosemont's greatest asset - if only someone would keep the promise to redevelop the site.

Selection sort in Python
October 1, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
Python has lists that come very handy in doing many complex works such as finding min, max, sort etc., Here I'll show sorting a list using selection sort and the other function of one line sort() function.
#Author: Vasanth Raja Chittampally numbers=[] n=int(raw_input("Enter n:")) for i in range(0,n): numbers.insert(i,int(raw_input("Enter numbers[%d]: " %i))) for i in range(0,n): min =numbers[i] min_indx=i for j in range(i+1,n) : if min > numbers[j] : min =numbers min_indx=j temp=numbers[min_indx] numbers[min_indx]=numbers[i] numbers[i]=temp print numbers
The above same thing can be done with just one line built in function of python sort(). like "numbers.sort()"

Are you here because you want to learn more about game "addiction" (compulsion) for yourself or on behalf of a friend? Make sure to check out my note at the end of this post.
It's not too often that I manage to work myself into a real rage about a BBC News article, mostly because BBC science reporting is largely well done. There are flaws, but nothing is so bad that I feel I have to take it personally. So it was a huge surprise today when I ran across this article on the BBC Wales site;
Online game firms need to do more to prevent addiction say researchers
The article's only short, but each new paragraph drew me to a brand new level of rage. you can read the editorial that the article is based on here. I'll do my best to summarise the salient points;
- Research has found that approximately 10% of the population of gamers (uncertainties apparently not quoted) are "having real problems" or are "pathological".
- Therefore game manufacturers, especially MMO producers, should stop making their games so addictive.
The article is reporting opinions of researchers as if they are fact. The article that they report on is an editorial which clearly denotes it as opinion (even if the opinions are supported by some selection of evidence; this in itself is no indication of truth). Researchers are just as likely to be wrong on a contentious issue as any other person, and oh boy is this issue contentious!
Why is this Area Contentious?
Put simply; it's not currently established that such a thing as "videogame addiction" exists. As the authors of the editorial put it, "there is significant disagreement on whether pathological gaming can be conceptualized as an impulse control disorder and/or a behavioural addiction such as pathological gambling". That means that you simply cannot talk about gaming addiction. It isn't a "thing".
Addiction implies that the action itself – the substance or activity – is inherently capable of overloading the way you feel rewarded for doing things. Games, even MMO's, don't seem to have been demonstrated to do this. To put it another way; "addiction" has a very specific meaning that is not appreciated by the use of the word in general conversation. One cannot be "addicted", for instance, to paper – it's the same with games.
What is true is that some people – 10% of gamers if the numbers are accurate – feel like they are reliant on their games to get through life. Does that make them addictive? Not necessarily! Instead, taking a cue from Extra Credits' series on the subject(1 2 3), let's talk about game compulsion!
Game Compulsion
"OK so if we can't talk about addiction then why are we talking about compulsion instead? It's the same thing!"
No, it isn't. While addiction specifies a very narrow set of processes, compulsion is a much broader, less stigmatised and less well understood by the public category. Consider this; obsessive compulsive disorder is a compulsion – a person feels compelled to, for example, polish their shoes every hour. It's not an addiction because it's not necessarily rewarding. As someone compelled to do something, it doesn't have to be a reward which is driving you to do whatever it is. This is where I think game compulsion is different from an addiction – game compulsion isn't done with reward in mind.
Consider the following;
Alfie is a child of an abusive relationship. Alfie tends to have bad days at school because he's trying to deal with his home life, and then comes back to his home life (which makes things worse). Alfie feels the need to escape, and it happens that he has a game that he likes playing – let's call it Unreal War : Shattered Plans, for the sake of argument. Alfie likes the game because he plays in a group of people who tend to appreciate him and who are largely kind towards him. In the game, he plays one of many heroes who work to save people in trouble and repel an opposing race of aliens which will enslave them.
I don't think you'd blame Alfie for being happy to play his game all night, since stopping would start to bring back thoughts of home life again.
Sleeping is hard when you're unhappy or stressed, so playing for most of the night is a perfectly reasonable thing to do. It minimizes pain. Having not had much sleep, Alfie will then go to school and not be able to pay attention properly – his mind will wander and he'll start thinking about Unreal War : Shattered Plans again. After school, he goes home and he'd love to sleep or relax – home life doesn't allow this so he has to find a way to escape again. Since he spent all day thinking about his game, he goes to play it again. He stays up all night.
Can you see how the cycle repeats? It's not necessarily due to the game itself – it just happens to be a cheap and easy way to escape from real life pain. And here's where the real kick is – on it's own, the game would be perfectly innocuous. Combined with an external push like I have described, Alfie feels compelled to play his game because he feels it's the only way to escape. You can substitute any reason you like – bullying, stress, an awful job, abusive relationships, anxiety disorders, family or friends with substance abuse problems, family death, not fitting in at school, depression, suicidal feelings, anything.
The thing that I don't want anyone to miss here is that the reason most people fall into gaming compulsion is societally enabled – that means that without the pressures of their local social structure they wouldn't feel like they had to escape into a game.
But here it's reasonable to extend the argument – could Alfie not just go outside and fly a kite? Or read books? Or go surfing? Yes, absolutely, if those things are already there and he's secure and stable in those environments and they allow him to escape immediate social consequences then anything could serve as an escape. What makes games a good candidate for this is that games with an online component have a societal structure which is dissociated from the real-world social structure around each individual.
Of course, game compulsion can reinforce itself as time goes by – by spending more time in-game, one tends to neglect other "In Real Life" (IRL) issues. This causes a loss of investment in society and often causes social problems for the compulsive person, which obviously can drive a cycle of reinforcement. The important thing to note, though, is that most game compulsion isn't done because the games are inherently rewarding – that implies that the gamers are running towards the games for their own sake. Quite contrary to that, gamers often run away from the real world into games in order to feel safe and secure.
This isn't a made-up problem.
The fictional character Alfie who I described is a very good representation of how one falls into game compulsion. I know this from personal experience – though my personal reasons for compulsion weren't the same, the pattern of behaviour absolutely was. So many other people have suffered in the same way, and this is particularly what I wanted to highlight in this post.
Online games are not addictive. Game compulsion arises because society cannot, or will not, spot those people who desperately need support and emotional stability – the young, those with mental health problems, people who feel excluded and those who feel like they can't fit in, people who are abused or raped or threatened, people who can't deal with a world that isn't fair towards them and so often fails to even recognise that fact. Games form a support mechanism for those in need, and do a lot of good for those who need them.
However, they can only do so much; nobody can rely on them permanently. If games have a failing, it's that they provide too good a support network. This is one thing that really enables game compulsion. As a compulsive person, you feel safest when you're surrounded by those people who you can confide in and who will support you – people who one might never meet face to face, but who show more personal feeling, more humanity, than many of the people the compulsive person sees every day. In the end, who is the more human; the abusive parent, who makes Alfie cry? Or the supportive but disembodied voice from the computer screen who is a loyal companion to Alfie in-game?
Everybody has a coping mechanism in difficult times, and games are extremely good ones. There is no reason to believe that games are a problem – it's the social structure which tacitly rewards or normalises bullying, abuse, rape, isolation, abuse of power, and which removes vulnerable people's sense of agency.
"Game addiction" is an excuse and an insult – the real problem is the way that we understand, empathise with, protect, and recognize vulnerable people. A society which recognizes "game addiction" without any understanding of the motivation or cultural enabling of the phenomenon it even has the gall to misname disgusts me. That is why I'm angry – because game compulsion happened to me, and because in the 8 years since I overcame it nothing has changed. It enrages me to know that there are young people out there in the situation I was in, who will fall to a support network that they shouldn't have to need, and nobody will even realise that there is a problem.
Game compulsion is a real problem, and it's rooted in the way you empathise with other people. Yes, you. Everyone. It's not a joke, it's not something that can be solved with a law. It's something that can only be solved by understanding, empathy, and support.
In short: if you want to prevent "game addiction" then start being more human.
If you're affected by any of the issues in this post, please drop me a line via Twitter, we can talk via email – I'm 100% happy to offer support to those who need it. Alternatively, if you don't feel comfortable trusting a stranger, I honestly urge you to talk to *someone* about it. Make sure you link them here if you're having trouble expressing what the problem really is – clear communication is key! The places I've linked in this article are good places to read about others' experiences, all of them have said they will talk to you if you need it. I'd recommend in particular the Extra Credits forums hosted on Penny Arcade. Whatever happens, I wish you only success in dealing with your compulsion. Finally, I want you to know that you are not alone; the world will always welcome you back from compulsion, and there is such a thing as a healthy balance. I promise you that recognizing compulsion is the first step to overcoming it; keep going, everyone who'se ever come out of it is on your side!

8 Pioneering Feminist Artists to Collect
Artsy Specialist
As part of Finley's 2014 solo exhibit, "Love Field" at Coagula Curatorial, Los Angeles.
Love Field is an exhibit by world renowned artist Karen Finley where the artist has been studying the traumatic images surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Here she presents reworkings of common and uncommon images associated with the tumultuous events and personalities surrounding November 22, 1963.
Love Field refers to the Dallas Airport that Jackie and Jack Kennedy landed at on November 22, 1963.
Image rights: Karen Finley / Coagula
Karen Finley, "Love Field", 11/21/15-1/3/16, Coagula Curatorial, Los Angeles
Since the 1970s, fearless conceptual artist Karen Finley has been foregrounding taboo issues surrounding sexuality, violence, celebrity, and the positioning of women in society in her no-holds-barred work. Known primarily for her searing performances, she also works in a range of other media, including music, writing, painting, and installation, choosing the method best suited to her ideas. Among the most famous of her many career-defining moments was her involvement in a lawsuit against the NEA, whose "decency clause" was invoked to cut funding of her work in 1990. Her projects, from subversively raunchy punk music rants to a public exploration that paired "sexting" with art consumption, provoke controversy and dialogue. For Finley, that means she is doing her job right: "I think that what the artist does is to subvert a thinking, to offer a different perspective," she says.

Business update: Stocks sink on bank, consumer reports
Fri., July 16, 2010, 9:11 a.m.
Stocks slumped today after earnings reports from two big banks disappointed investors and a survey showed that consumers are becoming more pessimistic. The Dow Jones industrial average fell more than 190 points, and other major market indexes were also down more than 1 percent. The market fell at the opening after Citigroup Inc. and Bank of America Corp. released earnings.
Consumer prices dip for third straight month: Consumer prices fell for the third straight month, offering some bargains to American shoppers. The Consumer Price Index, the government's most closely watch inflation barometer, dipped 0.1 percent in June, the Labor Department reported today. Less expensive energy bills were a big factor behind the drop. Prices for some food items, airlines fares, computers, telephone service and personal care products also fell last month.
Bank of America earns $2.78 billion in 2nd quarter: Bank of America said today its second-quarter net income rose 15 percent to $2.78 billion as improvements in the company's consumer loan businesses made up for a drop in trading revenue.
The bank's results beat expectations and provided further evidence that losses from failed loans at the nation's big banks may have peaked in the first half of 2010.
Citigroup profit dips 10 percent, loan losses fall: Citigroup said today its second-quarter net income dropped 10 percent to $2.7 billion even as its losses from failed loans fell. The drop in income reflects the bank's sale a year ago of the Smith Barney brokerage, which inflated its earnings at the time. Citigroup had a decline in trading revenue because of the stock market's plunge this spring.
Google expansion helps economy, hurts stock price: Google Inc. is doing its part to stimulate the economy and hurting its stock in the process. With its payroll swelling at the fastest rate in four years, some of Google's expenses are climbing faster than its revenue. That's creating a drag on its earnings, which is pulling down the Internet search leader's stock price. Both net income and revenue rose 24 percent from the previous year, but that didn't impress investors because the earnings missed the target set by analysts.
Cost cuts help GE's net income, but revenue falls: Cost cuts and an improved financial business helped General Electric Co. post its first increase in quarterly profit since 2007, but sales remained sluggish for the industrial giant. Overall revenue fell 4 percent, in part because GE is shrinking the size of GE Capital, its financial arm. GE's quarterly net income rose 16 percent to $3.0 billion, or 28 cents per share, up from $2.6 billion, or 25 cents per share, a year earlier.
36 arrested in Medicare scams totaling $251 million: Federal authorities said today they are conducting the largest Medicare fraud bust ever in five different states and arrested dozens of suspects accused in scams totaling $251 million. Several doctors and nurses were among those arrested in Miami, New York City, Detroit, Houston and Baton Rouge, La., accused of billing Medicare for unnecessary equipment, physical therapy and HIV treatments that patients typically never received. Ninety-four suspects were indicted, and authorities said 36 people had been arrested as of Friday morning.

Brenda Mengeling's Reviews > Gambit
Gambit (Nero Wolfe, #37)
Brenda Mengeling's review
bookshelves: 48, fiction, ebook, mysteries
Jan 03, 2012
bookshelves: 48, fiction, ebook, mysteries
The Nero Wolfe mysteries by Rex Stout are some of my all time favorites, and Gambit is a good one. The story opens with Wolfe trying to get out of an appointment for a job because he is busy burning, page by page, the new, third edition of Webster's New International Dictionary, Unabridged. It is subversive. But since his appointment, Miss Sally Blount, agrees with Wolfe that "infer" and "imply" may not be used interchangeably, he agrees to take her case (she also refers to him as a wizard who can do what no other man can do, helping her cause), which is to prove that her father did not poison a man at his chess club, even though the only thing the man ate was the hot chocolate brought to him by Sally's father. It all looks hopeless, and Wolfe, of course, balks at actually working, but then Inspector Cramer comes by to see why Wolfe has taken on such and open-and-shut case, and lays all the facts out, which Wolfe admits the police are better acquiring than he is. However, there is a mundane fact that sets Wolfe's mental processes going, for which he even thanks Cramer much to Cramer's confusion and annoyance, and then we are all off and running, bringing murderer to justice.
