Pseudopod 374: FLASH ON THE BORDERLANDS XIX: Blood On The Tracks – Departure, Transit, Arrival
Going nowhere… faster….
"Midnight Express" by Alfred Noyes.
"Midnight Express" first appeared in This Week, November 3, 1935.
ALFRED NOYES (1880-1958) is primarily remembered as a poet, especially for his ballads "The Highwayman" and "The Barrel-Organ". Aside from his poetry he wrote a large number of short stories intended to boost the national morale and small number of uncanny stories including this, "The Lusitania Waits" and "The Log of the Evening Star". He published many novels including the post-apocalyptic THE LAST MAN (1940) and his famed trilogy THE TORCH BEARERS (1922-1930).
Read by Paul Jenkins, who has narrated for Escape Pod, Pseudopod and PodCastle a number of times (he was honoured to be asked to narrate the very first PodCastle episode!). His science fiction podcast novel THE PLITONE REVISIONIST is available for free at Podiobooks.com at the link. His skeptical blog "Notes from an Evil Burnee" and his skeptical podcast "Skepticule" (aka "The Three Pauls Podcast") can also be found at their links.
"It was a battered old book, bound in read buckram. He found it, when he was twelve years old, on an upper shelf in his father's library; and, against all the rules, he took it to his bedroom to read by candlelight, when the rest of the rambling old Elizabethan house was flooded with darkness. That was how young Mortimer always thought of it."
"Destination: Nihil by Edmund Bertrand" by Mark Samuels.
"Destination: Nihil by Edmund Bertrand" had its first appearance in THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST NEW HORROR #20 edited by Stephen Jones. MARK SAMUELS (born 1967) is the author of four short story collections THE WHITE HANDS AND OTHER WEIRD TALES (Tartarus Press 2003), BLACK ALTARS (Rainfall Books 2003), GLYPHOTECH & OTHER MACABRE PROCESSES (PS Publishing 2008) and THE MAN WHO COLLECTED MACHEN & OTHER STORIES (Ex Occidente 2010 and Chomu Press 2011) as well as the short novel THE FACE OF TWILIGHT (PS Publishing 2006). His tales have appeared in both THE MAMMOTH BOOK OF BEST NEW HORROR and THE YEAR'S BEST FANTASY & HORROR. He has a new collection forthcoming from Egaeus Press in 2014 and has been described by Ramsey Campbell as "the British Thomas Ligotti": A description he is at odds with, since he shares few, if any, of Ligotti's aims either as a contemporary philosopher or writer of weird fiction. He is also literary executor for the late Edmund Bertrand. "How I came to be Bertrand's literary executor is a convoluted affair and too long to go into here," explains Samuels. "In any case, it's certainly ironic, given that Bertrand (an American citizen, but of French ancestry, as his name suggests) was a staunch Anglophobe. Bertrand was born in Memphis, sometime during 1957, and died in a mysterious hotel fire whilst attending a convention in England in 2007. His stories chart the far reaches of madness, and were never collected together in a single volume. His main influences were European authors such as Stefan Grabinski, Roger Gilbert-Lecomte, Dino Buzzati and Jean Lorrain."
Read by Jorn Meyer – who is new to PSEUDOPOD with this story and who is available for narration or voice work and can be reached at mail-at-joern-meyer.net
"There was no question now of keeping panic in check. Grey loped off along the aisle of the car in search of the conductor, or of the first person he encountered. A few rows further down he saw a man slouched in his seat, dressed in a rain mac and a wide-brimmed floppy hat that obscured his face. Grey hesitated before addressing the stranger, because he feared the face concealed in shadow. Would it be like that of the conductor? If it were, then he feared he would have reached a tipping point and might scream himself to death."
"The Terminus" by Kim Newman.
A slightly different version of "The Terminus" appeared in the fanzine Sheep Worrying in 1981; this version appeared in Fantasy Tales in 1985. "It's pretty much the earliest story I sold professionally." KIM NEWMAN is a novelist, critic and broadcaster. His fiction includes THE QUORUM, LIFE'S LOTTERY and PROFESSOR MORIARTY: THE HOUND OF THE D'URBERVILLES; his non-fiction includes NIGHTMARE MOVIES and BFI Classics studies of CAT PEOPLE and DOCTOR WHO. He has written plays for the theatre (The Hallowe'en Sessions) and radio (Cry-Babies), is a contributing editor to Sight & Sound and Empire magazines and reviews in Video Watchdog. His official web-site can be found here. He is also on Twitter as @AnnoDracula and his latest novel is ANNO DRACULA: JOHNNY ALUCARD, fourth in the successful ANNO DRACULA series. His next novel, AN ENGLISH GHOST STORY, will be out in late 2014.

"'Oh yes,' Verdon told me, 'disappearances from the underground are not uncommon. Every once in a while some unfortunate wanders off where he shouldn't and meets with an accident. Sometimes our staff doesn't come across the remains for years. Some people never do turn up. Those are the most interesting, I think. This pile.'
It was an impressive stack of manila folders. On the night of 9 October 1872 (which I like to think of as appropriately foggy) Mr Julian Selwyn-Pitt, a landscape painter, walked into Oxford Street station and was never seen again. Since 1872, fifteen thousand, eight hundred and twenty-four people had followed Mr Selwyn-Pitt into Verdon's files. The figure was exclusive of all those whose disappearance was not reported and those, like Robert Webb, whose folders had not yet drifted down to settle in Verdon's office.
'So there are nearly sixteen thousand people lying around the tube somewhere?'"

The music of Roger Drawdy and the Firestarters has captivated listeners since the group's inception at the turn of the millennia. Roger's south County Cork background, thoughtful lyrics, and trained vocal qualities have made him a stand out within the Celtic music community. Not one for narrow labels, Roger's most recent songs have taken the band beyond the Celtic genre to branch out into World, Roots, and Folk Rock, as his new music addresses the international need to care for the resources this earth offers. Maybe his Druid roots are calling out in this time of need to stand a new stone in the name of humanity.

Push Square: "A team comprised of former LittleBigPlanet developers has turned to Kickstarter following the cancellation of its first PlayStation Vita project. Ambient Studios – which was founded in 2011 – had been working on a Sony-funded handheld title for a year before the platform holder decided to pull the plug."
I know it would not be a system seller the Vita needs but that sounds awesome. I would of picked it up.
This topic title is somewhat misleading. Put up for hit bait. Could have easily been something like "Kickstarter for new Vita game"
Main problem Sony has with the Vita they need to stop outsourcing their 1st party titles to other developers and get their 1st party developers to make vita games, Sony needs to set an example with the games on vita so other 3rd party developers will follow suit like they did on ps3
Well that's a shame...another Vita game in trouble...
Don't like the sound of that - what other games are in trouble then?
Warriors Lair isn't in trouble, it's beeing worked on by Santa Monica now, and was delayed to ensure a higher quality of the game- they will release it when they are damn good and ready...
I don't know about games but Sony closed 3 studios after making vita games. Wipeout dev, Zipper, and Nihlistic all closed. Also no big games are announced right now besides Kz and Soul Sacrifice. Bioshock prob won't ever happen and guaranteed sales like Type-0 won't even release on psn. All the big franchises are going on the 3ds. Dragon quest 7 remake which is a remake of a ps exclusive is now exclusive to 3ds along with everything else other than ports. Sucks because I love my vita but its going the psp route. Hopefully it lasts long enough to see a FF and MGS release on it. Persona 4 rocks though.
Sony needs to support it like Nin does its handhelds. All devs make a game not just a few shitty b teams here and there. Nin has far more ip's though. Seriously there's a new big game every month. Fire emblem in feb, luigis mansion, mh tri, mh4, soul hackers in march, on and on. I don't know when a new vita game drops. There's Kz sometime next year and ...ninja gaiden 2 which il buy even though I own it already because it rocks on the go but what else? I want to have faith but I need to see something big. Persona 5, FF12 port, MGS, GOW exc. E3 is make or break it for vita IMO.
Well, it's no longer a Vita game, so there's that.
Also, what other Vita games are "in trouble?" I haven't heard of anything. Do you know something the rest of us don't know? Or is this more smoke blowing?
Dragons crown has been in development for a LONG time...
And then there was the rumor that devs were jumping ship and dropping planned support, which sony quickly denied... only to confirm a few months later by proxy with a statement along the lines of "it has been difficult to obtain support for the Vita."
Outside of n4g, the reality is Vita isn't doing to well. Go anywhere else (from the well mannered and neutral siliconera community to the roudy destructoid community and all levels inbetween) and you will see this.
" Dragons crown has been in development for a LONG time... "
Long time is an exagarated word. Vanillaware and Ignition (the publisher) announced it on E3 2011.
George Kamitani had Dragon's Crown CONCEPT for thirteen years, but there's no one wants to publish it, until Ignition came of course. In the way, Ignition drop the title and Atlus pick it up from them (thx Altus!). Some key member from Atlus will help Kamitani to make this game.
" And then there was the rumor that devs were jumping ship and dropping planned support, which sony quickly denied... only to confirm a few months later by proxy with a statement along the lines of "it has been difficult to obtain support for the Vita."
Vanillaware isn't jumping ship and droping support for PS3 or even Vita. That's why Muramasa: The Demon Blade got ported (with extra content) for Vita. It also had a solid release date in japan: 28 March 2013. And this year, a lot of games from 3rd party will be release for vita.
You're right. It needs games first before they can be in trouble.
Do tell, what is the other Vita games in trouble?
Probably shoulda said *more trouble for the Vita*.
@Thedevine: Nihilistic is not even a Sony studio so do not talk bullshit.
But the other two heebtiobed were tbf although i think it was just coibcidence it sas after vita games.
Zipper have been terrible for a while and SCE Liverpool had already pretty much merged with Evolution
So it begins
So...what begins? A bad-looking game being canceled?
What begins? Sony focusing on what games to develope for the Vita?
aaahhhhh vita... games may appear at some point
Seems like something they should have done a long time ago.
do you ever post something that add anything to the topics ??
no you only troll sony articles and fail at it too
next time READ the article not just the headline before making a stupid comment like that
EDIT: iamsuperman beat me to it
" I assume you didn't bother to read the article nor think. Sony probably cut their loses (as it wasn't going to do well enough/ other multiple, sane, reasons) with the game and those developers you developed that canned game are now using kickstarter to make a BRAND NEW game (i.e. it isn't the one Sony canned). Games get cancelled all the time for various reasons (anything from poor production to too much cost)
The title doesn't help but the game isn't the cancelled one
like where the heck is syphon filter the psp one were like the 2 best games on the psp we need a vita one lol or ps3 one its been years
I thought it meant Tearaway. I woulda been PIIIIISSED.
Tearaway is being developed by Media Molecule, not former LBP developers at Ambient Studios.
Yeah, and Media Molecule said they wanted to move on from LBP for a bit, and Tarsier developed the Vita version. So in a way MM is a "former LBP developer". Obviously when I clicked the article I realized it didn't mean MM, but based off a first glance I thought it did.
It's easy to see why you'd think Tearaway from the title though.. I thought the same when I saw the headline.
I think the game sounds cool. I see it talks about as a stretch goal wanting to bring it out on the tablets. So it would be nice if they made that goal they could make one for the Vita too. Seeing as they would already know how to work with the Vita.
"So...what begins? A bad-looking game being canceled?"
Assuming something is bad because sony said no? ok..
Nintendo said no to "binding of isaac".
Coming to pc? I will give $20.
Nintendo said no to the "Binding of Isaac" because of the context of the game, not because it was good or bad.
"the main cause of the rejection was that the game contains "questionable religious content".
Sony cancelling a game they funded is something different. Since they had money invested in it, so they can cancel the game at anytime. The only problem is that amount of money lost because they decided to cancel the game a year in development.
You're comparing funding being pulled to Nintendo rejecting a game that they felt had questionable content?
Besides, there are concept screens. His comment doesn't say he took Sony's word.
You're better than that, shutUpAndTakeMyMoney. Come on, now.
Why don't these developers make iPad/Vita multiplatform games? I heard Vita development was pretty easy so I can't see why adding a platform would do anyone any harm.
What is with Dev's nerdy obsession with Death...The name Death Inc. is co generically cliche...that alone makes me not want to play the game.
There are only 500 other games where you play death....lets give it a break you sick twisted weirdos.
Sony needs to get Android on the Vita to make it more appealing.
vita has a re-skinned android os sony needs psmobile to be more like the playstore/amazon store, more effing apps not just games(more games non the less) but also more apps
That's okay, guess they're gonna be more cautious about their vita games after the panning some games have gotten. I just hope that during 2013 we get confirmations of a mgs, resi, gta and maybe even dead rising game designed for vita, these franchises are system sellers and would help get more people interested in vita so they can see how truly awesome it is
They are big franchises, but I wouldn't call them system sellers on their own(but in combination? Yes. Perhaps)
The problem is, none of those devs have showed faith in the system(with mgs being the most likely). And they have little reason to at this point. It just isn't likely that we will see such games... not impossible, but not likely.
Imagine gta on a vita console bundle , anyone who like rockstar games will buy it without thinking , same with GT , real cod and battlefield games ..
sony just need to investe on these games and not release declassified type of games with that price , i wouldn't buy it even if it's 10$
It really wouldn't though. People wouldn't buy a whole new expensive console to play only 1 game in a franchise they can play anywhere else. I could buy GTA3 for 2 dollars on the phone I am typing this with right now.
When I think of a system seller, I don't imagine a good game selling great on its launch week with a modest hardware boost and dying off. I think of a game that sells monstrously for months and continually drives hardware. Games like Animal crossing 3ds and MHp3rd on psp (In Japan of course) Those titles sold well and kept doing so for months, driving hardware as they did.
I don't see GTA as that kind of game at this point. But backed up by other big franchises, they could combine into a strong library that would improve and drive sales. Provided the majority were unique to the platform and not ports or remakes of course.
@inception up above
Out of bubbles... harumph...
Anyway, it has been in development a long time given it has had several release windows pushed back and still has no solid date. To put that into perspective, Code of Princess( a 3ds side scrolling rpg-ish brawler made by the gaurdian heroes team) was announced after Dragon Crown and released spring last year in Japan and autumn in the west(and eshop just last week)
The problem with your Vanilla ware statement can be expressed by looking at other Vita devs and thier behaivor: the devs support has not grown at all; the major games are coming from the same groups that already provided support. Support in the form of: remakes and ports. Which they have chosen to follow up with: MORE remakes and ports. The few major players that stuck around aren't taking any chances for the same reason new devs aren't joining in; they don't see the benefit of doing so worth the incredible risk.
Despite supporting the system, this behaivor shows they have little actual faith in it at this point.
Instead, they are going for cheap low risk decent return ports in a niche market to make a quick easy return. If that helps the platform grow or keeps it in stasis long enough for someone to actually invest in the system remains to be seen, but until that point support will continue to be small, and may only be percieved as more risky as time goes on.

Lol seriously, you compare it with Code of Princess? This two game had the same genre, but Dragon's Crown using more detailed graphic than Code of Princess. And we don't know much what Kamitani cook for Dragon's Crown besides hack & slash and online MP with demon souls / D&D style. So obviously Code of Princess are more easy to develope than Dragon's Crown. Btw, there's no solid date to begin with and there's no "SEVERAL pushback" like you claim for Dragon's Crown. CMIIW with a legit link from a good gaming site or from sony / vanillaware / atlus site.

I don't know what's your problem but this is only 8 january 2013. There's a lot of time for Sony to pursue more support from big 3rd party dev / publisher. And even it's only remakes, remades, or ports like NGS2+, DoA 5, Tales of Hearts R, or Muramasa, that's a clear sign more games are coming and 3rd party really want to take some risk for Vita.

In it's 1st year, 3DS also full with lot of ports and remakes such as DoA:D, SF IV, Zelda: OoT, or Tales of the Abyss. But after Nintendo cut the price, more support (new IP or new sequel) are coming from big dev/publisher. And i don't see why Sony can't do the same thing with Vita. Besides, big dev such as R*, Capcom, or SE had games that sold millions on PSP. I don't think they crazy enough to abandon Vita who had more potential than PSP.
the description of this game seems very familiar. Wasn't there a game released like this on the PSP a while back?
I'm not sure but the title reminds me of Death Jr.
Maybe there is a reason why they dropped the title.... former head of Lionhead studios xD They are not exactly the best devs in the world.
Media Molecule was founded by Lionhead employees. You know, the same guys that made Little Big Planet. Are they not good devs then?
Ummm... Hello the guy that made fable??!?!??!
C'mon the tools to make LBP game were there all he needed to do is write up a story and copy paste. The tools from lionhead bug the crap out of me.
The exDevs admitted in the article they could not deliver. What more prove do the Sony haters want?
Oh my god, i think the vita is doomed because sony cancelled this title.
so many games coming this year that i really dont care...
i was worried they were talking about tearaway. that looks like an awesome game.
Goddamn that title gave a few of us a fright.
Not cool to see a would be Vita title cancelled though, seems like that system could use the extra content this year.
O well, luckily Persona 4 might entertain me forever.
For me, first play through for fun and story sake, then I go to hard mode and finish all my social links and get all of the ultimate personas. And my final play through the hardest difficulty, use my ultimate personas and max everything to lvl. 99. Doing that in Persona 3 was hella fun. Disgaea is even more intense, level 999 :D
Games get cancelled all the time, it doesn't mean nothin. Maybe Sony saw something they didn't like and pulled it. Third party games will come as they did for psp. It's never been a problem for Sony.... Now if we were talking Nintendo then I'd see the point. Truth be told this generation of gamers want more, fast. No patience at all. Maybe its these iOS and android micro games that come out so fast ( mainly because they are small) that gamers want real gaming system games to come so fast.
What 3rd party game has come out for the 3ds this past holiday season? ** crickets chirping** but look at its success. We sit in a world wide economy crisis right now. Drop the vitas price it will sell more.
Games will still get cancelled for it same as every other gaming system.
Morons like the ones who speak negatively about the Vita, are probably the same ones who would overlook this game for Call Of Duty 2000, or Fifa Sucker....
Some of the greatest games of the past 2 gens have been created by Sony's 1st party studios & tanked in sales thanks to the majority of people either not wanting to, or being too scared to experience something different. Games like Primal, The Mark Of Kri, Wipeout, Starhawk, etc, etc, are just some of the Sony inhouse games that should have sold waaaay more than they did. I mean, inFamous 1 & 2, Resistance, Socom (yes, I think pt 4. is great, even though it strayed a little from the series), Unit 13, so many great games, so little support from gamers (or those that falsly label themselves so).
So many of Sony's inhouse developers have either been closed down or joined into there other studios, being swallowed up, because moroons are too busy playing the latest COD or Fifa or Madden, over supporting awesome developers & there games that dare to not be fps's or sports franchises.
I mean THQ beat GTA with Saints Row 3 as it is actually a better, more fun game, but it didn't sell anywhere as good as it should have, UFC 3... same story, Red Faction....same again, & Darksiders as well....I mean, these are all awesome, top of there genre games & still THQ went belly up & many of there franchises will never be seen again...in fact, the only 2 that are almost certain to get sequels are UFC & WWE, another 2 f$#king sports titles (not that EA doing a UFC is a bad thing, as I love UFC & the last game, & also loved EA's MMA), but everyone who truly loves "GAMES", gets my point, & gets my frustration at the clowns who are taking there cash to retail...
I mean, 50 Cent: Bulletproof sold like hotcakes, while Okami sold so little that Capcom dropped the studio, the 10 Fifa's & Fifa Streets & all those other breakoff soccer games all sold well enough for several sequels to be justified, yet Psychonauts & BG&E sold like crap, & the list goes on of great developers that make awesome, groundbreaking games getting low sales numbers & either going broke or not selling enough to make a sequel, while sh!t games like Bulletproof sell in masses.
Wake up people
You make a great point and point out some of the many, many many, problems with the gaming world. Too many band wagon fanboy nit pickers now days. I miss the days where gamers played games and didn't feel like they were all devs or somethin. For example I've never heard anyone mention how many Frames per seconds sonic is running or how you fought the same boss every level in Super Mario bros. we just played and enjoyed ourselfs. Now... These fanboy not picker types are saying the vita is in trouble because of a cancelled game? Wow what's next the vita is dead because gravity rush 2 doesn't star cat? ( not implying that will happen but that's how low some so called gamers will go)
Lets see IF I had to pick, ummmm, 3DS or PSVita...hmmmm...I would pick the one that had better games. Oh and if you disagree, I did not say which I thought had better games I just simply said I WOULD pick the one with better games.
I follow the games not the hardware. If the games I want to play require me to buy certain hardware that I can afford then I'll buy it. Fanboys seem to forget its about the games and not the hardware.
for every one cancelled i bet two NEW ones will florish from the knowledge gained just in that experience alone.
like dude said above, games do get cancelled after development has started for multiple reasons. everything isn't always on the down side.
i bet there are games we dont even expect that will WOW us for Vita.
Sony thinks long term.
I got so scared when I saw the thumbnail, because I thought Sony had cancelled Tearaway. Seriously, Tearaway looks so amazing, it's the sole reason for me to own a Vita.
A few crucial comments the Anti Sony trolls seems to miss very conveniently
Out of their own mouths!
[""We'd been working on the [Vita] game for about a year," Hopper revealed. "Eventually it came to a mismatch of expectations of what we wanted to deliver and what we could deliver and what they wanted. So near the end of last year they pulled the funding plug unfortunately."]
A mismatch between what the devs want to do and what Sony wanted, now the question is who funded the development?
They could not deliver!!!! Now fsucking hell, no wonder Sony pulled the plug.
Secondly they missed the issue
["We could pick it up in the future. We don't really want to right now. Financially it wouldn't work for us."]
Now if it financially would not work for the devs why would it work financially for Sony then???
Seems to me rather a failed development effort which cost Sony a small fortune.
It wont work for them financially because they have no investment. It is not possible to really judge how well a new IP will be received. Many games have been rejected funding and gone on to sell a load of copies.
And Sony give these type of developers MASSIVE chances, while MS are scaring off Bungie by making them make Halo, after, Halo, after Halo, whereas Sony's Team Ico's, Ico tanks in sales, yet Sony says, "never mind, we love what your doing, have another go". MS on the other hand, drops the deveopers of Halo Wars, before the game even releases & proves itself in sales, & it went on to make them awesome bucks. Meanwhile SOTC is released & again the Team Ico game's sales fall way below expectations & Sony just say, "ah well, start developing whatever you like on our new machine", 6 years later & Sony are still funding that one & it's still nowhere to be seen & is rumoured to be a PSOrbis title now. Sony also told Evolution Studios that were formely best known for the PS2 WRC games, to develop a new IP, they also encouraged Insomniac to do the same & I ended up with 2 of my favorite game series this en in Motorstorm & Resistance (games that also should have sold way more, especially Apocalypse & R3, as they were best in series).
Sony have to scrap the games that don't completely make sense now, they can only fund so many arthouse, or different, or unconvential or all of the above. I mean, as much as Nintendo do there own thing, Sony do so as well, and for me, they do a far better job, as they are not just catering to 9yr old kids & teenage girls, because they have the mature stuff, as well as the Ratchets, Singstars, LBP's, etc, etc. So you get that niche arthouse stuff, the awesome family friendly & creative stuff like LBP, Modnation Racers, as well as the more tarditional family stuff, as well as the over the top arcadedy stuff like Motorstorm, as well as the Killzones, Socoms, Warhawks/Starhawks, as well as the mish mashed genred awesome titles like inFamous & the list goes on.....But unfortunately, due to mainstream, moron, sheep, mentality, we are seeing these developers of such titles go bust. I mean, Sony have lost so many developers this gen, and teams like Insomniac have had to go multiplat, as great IP's like Resistance weren't selling well enough (maybe they should have just copy & pasted the COD formula). Then other favorite developers of mine have been delegated to making Home, Singstar & other crap that takes them from creating awesome titles like Medievil, Primal, The Mark Of Kri, The Getaway, 8 Days, & the like.
I get peeved about it, & I hope consumers do not tailor make developers enough to wipe out the more creative, awesome, diffrent games, & so we end up with just certain types of action games, sports games, etc, etc. I
I mean JRPG's have been wiped out, pretty much, & Japanese flavored action games (which I personally love many of), as well as just Japanese styled games in general are going by the wayside, which to me, having grown up on them, & knowing how great they are, is a huge shame & travesty.
Cancel could always mean Change. Maybe they decided to go with another game.
damn this next gen handheld war seems to be a lopsided mess for the underdog, jeez. Sony has been getting bad press lately with their patents and what not and now this as well. Seems like Vita has no hope except for KILLZONE .
Maybe it wasnt a port or a spin-off from a PS3 game.
Sony has a lot of PS3/PS4 developers, but nowhere near enough Vita developers. Vita has a chance of dominating the handheld gaming scene since it's the best hardware ever made. They should do right by it and start spending someone money on Vita game development.
AND proper advertising.

Pre-Professional Programs
"Now what?" is not a question Rocky Mountain College graduates struggle with - the the last five years, 99 percent of graduates find work or placement in graduate school within three months of graduation.
Most graduates find their RMC studies fill their pre-professional program needs. Biology and chemistry majors find ready acceptance as pre-med candidates due to a solid combination of course work, hands-on lab and research opportunities, internship experience, and preparation for the medical school application process. In fact, 88 percent of those who apply to medical school are accepted. Many of our graduates end up practicing medicine in Montana through the WWAMI program.
Our graduates also build careers in dentistry, optometry, and pharmacy. Many attend schools in our region, while others enroll in programs across the country, such as the University of Minnesota. Our English and history majors find they are prepared for law school or pursue rewarding careers in public service and politics. We have alumni at the Clinton Foundation and on the staff of U.S. Senators.
Like many students, physical education and health majors often find their undergraduate internships turn into full-time jobs upon graduation, while others continue their education in physical therapy or other disciplines at schools including Texas A&M and Eastern Washington University. Equestrian studies students take paths that either lead them to veterinary medicine or well-established facilities, such as the U.S. Dressage Federation. And with three master's programs - physician assistant, accountancy, and educational leadership - graduates land high-paying opportunities in high-demand fields.
While at RMC, students may prepare for the following professional programs:
Health Sciences
- Dentistry
- Medicine
- Occupational Therapy
- Optometry
- Pharmacy
- Physical Therapy
- Physician Assistant
- Veterinary

Last year, I compiled the Ultimate 100 British Hotels for The Sunday Times and am currently busy researching places for this year's supplement. If you have any tips for hotels, B&Bs, pubs and spas, please do let me know. Here's an extract from the 2013 guide
Our winner: The Scarlet
A spa that feels sincere about saving the planet, but is not the slightest bit worthy is a rare and wonderful thing. There's a lot to love about this place at Mawgan Porth: its extravagant use of space (most hoteliers would have doubled the bed count), the floor-to-ceiling views of the Atlantic, cutting-edge design, eye-catching fabrics and seasonal menus. The spa offers organic treatments, chillout pods, clifftop hot tubs and leftfield activities such as singing lessons and transformational dance. Don't knock them till you've tried them.

BELLEVUE, Wash. (Oct. 20, 2008) – Puget Sound Energy [utility subsidiary of Puget Energy (NYSE: PSD)], on Oct. 17, received a new, 50-year federal operating license for the utility's largest hydropower facility, the 170-megawatt (MW) Baker River Hydroelectric Project in Skagit and Whatcom counties in Northwest Washington state.
The new license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission results from years of collaborative studies and negotiated agreements between PSE and a group of 23 other parties, including governmental entities, Indian tribes, fisheries interests, and environmental organizations. Their 162-page settlement agreement, adopted unanimously in late 2004, formed the backbone of the new license provisions, which PSE will review with those parties during the 30-day review period. The utility estimates it will spend about $360 million to meet the new license provisions and operate the Baker facility. More than half of those costs relate to fish-enhancement measures.
"This is great news for Puget Sound Energy customers, communities and the environment," said Kimberly Harris, executive vice president and chief resource officer for PSE. "With this license, we retain a clean, renewable, low-cost source of electricity for all of our customers in Western Washington. What's more, we and our relicensing partners can now continue to provide flood-control storage for downstream communities, boost salmon runs in the Baker and Skagit river basins, and improve recreational opportunities for the public."
PSE's Baker project consists of two concrete dams in Washington's North Cascades mountains: Lower Baker Dam, built in 1925, and Upper Baker Dam, completed in 1959. Together, the dams can serve the peak power demand of about 130,000 households. On average, the hydroelectric project's output can meet the total power needs of 60,000 households.
The facility's previous 50-year federal license was issued in 1956. Since then, stricter environmental regulations and laws, such as the Endangered Species Act and National Environmental Policy Act and Clean Water Act, require newly licensed hydropower facilities to operate in greater harmony with the environment. PSE has operated the project on an annual FERC license since 2006.
Major new license provisions – contained in the 2004, multi-party settlement agreement– include:
PSE pursued its new operating license under an "alternative licensing process" FERC created to help dam owners and outside parties seek consensus and avoid the long and costly court battles that traditionally have arisen over dam-relicensing issues.
Harris said PSE and the 23 other parties involved in the Baker relicensing process initiated 76 major studies and held more than 400 separate meetings to craft their collaborative settlement agreement for submission to FERC.
"It took an extraordinary amount of time and commitment on everyone's part," said Harris. "At the outset, our interests and objectives differed widely, but we hung together, worked through the issues and, in the end, found common ground."
The parties that signed the relicensing settlement agreement were: Puget Sound Energy, the U.S. Forest Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the National Park Service, NOAA Fisheries, the Upper Skagit Indian Tribe, the Sauk-Suiattle Indian Tribe, the Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, the Washington Department of Ecology, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, the Washington Department of Natural Resources, Skagit County, the City of Anacortes, the Town of Concrete, the Public Utility District No. 1 of Skagit County, the Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation, The Nature Conservancy of Washington, the North Cascades Conservation Council, the North Cascades Institute, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, the Skagit Fisheries Enhancement Group, the Washington Council of Trout Unlimited, the Wildcat Steelhead Club, and Skagit County resident Bob Helton.
Roger Thompson, 1.888.831.7250
Washington state's oldest and largest energy utility, with a 6,000-square-mile service territory stretching across 11 counties, Puget Sound Energy (PSE) serves more than 1 million electric customers and nearly 750,000 natural gas customers. PSE, a subsidiary of Puget Energy (NYSE:PSD), meets the energy needs of its growing customer base primarily in Western Washington through incremental, cost-effective energy conservation, low-cost procurement of sustainable energy resources, and far-sighted investment in the energy-delivery infrastructure. PSE employees are dedicated to providing great customer service to deliver energy that is safe, reliable, reasonably priced, and environmentally responsible.
PSE's largest hydropower facility is the Baker River Hydroelectric Project. Located on a tributary of the Skagit River in northwest Washington, the project has two dams, each with its own powerhouse. The dams' reservoirs, Baker Lake and Lake Shannon, are fed by runoff from the flanks of Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan. Lower Baker Dam, completed in 1925, is a 285-foot-high concrete structure with 79 megawatts of power-generating capacity. The 312-foot-high Upper Baker Dam, completed in 1959, has a generating capacity of 91 megawatts. The project includes extensive salmon-propagation facilities and numerous amenities for public recreation. It also provides flood control for communities in the Skagit River Valley. A 50-year federal operating license granted to the Baker River Project in 1956 expired in April 2006. The project was operated under an annual license from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission while PSE sought the new 50-year license granted in October 2008.

Pistorius granted bail
PRETORIA, South Africa (AP) - Double-amputee track star Oscar Pistorius will be allowed to go free as he awaits trial in the Valentine's Day shooting death of his girlfriend.
A magistrate in South Africa granted bail today after four days of arguments from prosecutors and defense lawyers.
He said the affidavit from Pistorius, in which he gave his version of the events that took place in his home, had helped his application for bail.
Pistorius shot and killed model Reeva Steenkamp in the predawn hours of February 14th. The athlete says he shot her accidentally, thinking she was an intruder in his house. Prosecutors say the shooting followed a loud argument between the two. They say he intended to kill her, and they've charged him with premeditated murder.
Pistorius last year became the first double-amputee runner to compete in the Olympics. He is known as the Blade Runner because of the high-tech artificial legs he uses.

Travis elected Council President on 6-3 vote
"It's about time," Tina Travis Bajakian, daughter of Warwick's new Council President, Donna Travis, said Tuesday night at City Hall shortly after her mother was elected to the position. Travis won on a 6-3 vote during the Inaugural Ceremony. "She's done 40 years of public service."
Travis' granddaughter, Gianna Travis, 10, a student at Oakland Beach Elementary School, agrees.
"I'm not surprised," Gianna said. "She's awesome – she's Donna Travis."
More than four decades ago, Travis, who has 18 years of experience as Ward 6 councilwoman, began serving on various boards and committees, volunteering and advocating for organizations against domestic violence and sexual assault, substance abuse task forces, groups seeking to end homelessness, plus much more.
"It's been one committee after another," Travis said.
At the ceremony, Ward 3 Councilwoman Camille Vella-Wilkinson named nearly 15 boards and committees Travis continues to dedicate her time to, plus she has served on every council committee since she was first elected. Vella-Wilkinson described Travis as a "pillar of our community," and an "unsung hero."
The assembly of more than 400 erupted in applause after Vella-Wilkinson nominated Travis, and again when she was announced as Warwick's newest Council President. Ward 8 Councilman Joseph Gallucci seconded the nomination, while no other members were nominated.
Ward 4 Councilman Joseph Solomon, Ward 5 Councilman Ed Ladouceur and Ward 9 Councilman Steven Merolla voted in opposition, while Vella-Wilkinson, Gallucci, Ward 1 Councilman Steven Colantuono, Ward 2 Councilman Tom Chadronet and Ward 7 Councilman Charles "C.J." Donovan were in favor. Travis also was able to cast a vote, which she used as one in her own name. Former Council President Bruce Place presented Travis with a gavel and wished her luck.
In her remarks to the assembly, Travis said she is looking forward to serving in the position for the next two years. Considering her experience on the council, she said she has seen many ups and downs in the government, as well as the economy, and knows there will be challenges to face in the future. But she is optimistic that she will help the city become "brighter and better" in years to come.
She also said she plans to seek advice and guidance from Solomon and Gallucci, two former council presidents, as well as other council members.
But make no mistake; Travis said she has her own views on issues and her own ideas to solve problems from pension woes to everyday troubles.
"I am confident that we are up to the job," Travis said. "We will do it not by yelling or screaming, we will do it not by bullying; we will do so in an open and civil manner."
Travis also thanked her family for their ongoing support, from Tina and Gianna, as well as Gianna's little sister, Ava, 2, her son-in-law Chris Bajakian, and her husband, William.
"They've been behind me through the whole thing," she said in an interview after the ceremony. "I'm very excited, and ready to go. It's a good feeling."
During the meeting, Chadronet nominated Gallucci as president pro tem, with Solomon seconding the motion. The council unanimously elected Gallucci, and Travis named Donovan and Colantuono as Majority and Minority Leaders, respectively.
Colantuono, who just began his third year as a member of the council, was the Master of Ceremonies for the evening, while his daughter, Sophie, led the Pledge of Allegiance. He noted that he is honored to not only call Mayor Scott Avedisian a constituent of his ward, but also a friend.
For Avedisian, he said he is eager to work with the School Committee and Council, and offered them his best wishes. He went on to say that it has been an honor to work alongside Travis for the last 20 years, noting her "kind heart, steadfast dedication to our community, enthusiasm, and a strong moral compass that guides you to make a decision because it's the right thing to do."
This year begins his eighth term as mayor. In November, he won the seat by 81 percent of the vote.
Governor Lincoln Chafee spoke to this fact, and praised Avedisian, as well as other local mayors, for winning elections by landslides.
"Warwick is a well-run city," said Chafee. "The schools are good, the roads are good, the skating rinks are the best in the state, the parks and recreation are great," he said. "We're doing a great job."
A few of Avedisian's loved ones took part in the event, as his cousin, the Honorable Haiganush R. Bedrosian swore him in, while his Goddaughter, Isabel Butts, along with her brother, Jacob, held, with teeth clenched, a large Bible that Avedisian placed his hand on for the oath. Before giving his speech, Avedisian swore in all nine members of the City Council, plus the two new members of the School Committee, Jennifer Ahearn and Karen Bachus.
The Pawtuxet Rangers, RIM & Pawtuxet Rangers Fife & Drum Corps opened the ceremony, along with a grand procession of honor guards from the Warwick Police and Fire Departments.
Firefighter William Tyler sang the national anthem, the Right Reverend W. Nicholas Knisely of the Episcopal Diocese of Rhode Island provided the invocation, while the Very Reverend Gomidas Baghsarian, Archpriest and Pastor of Sts. Vartanantz Armenian Apostolic Church, and Rabbi Leslie Yale Gutterman of Temple Beth David offered prayers.
Coral McAuliffe sang "Let All Things Now Living," and " Lord of All Hopefulness," which Avedisian and St. Kevin Church Pastor Fr. Robert Marciano, who made the Benediction, sang and hummed along to at their seats.
Additionally, Travis appointed Vella-Wilkinson as the Chairwoman of the Finance Committee, with Chadronet and Colantuono as members; Merolla as Chairman of the Public Properties Committee, with Colantuono and Chadronet as members; Gallucci as Chairman of Public Safety, with Solomon and Colantuono as members; Gallucci as Chairman of the Ordinance Committee, with Colantuono and Ladouceur as members; Colantuono as Chairman of the Intergovernmental Committee, with Ladouceur and Chadronet as members; Vella-Wilkinson as Chairwoman of the Economic Development Committee, with Colantuono and Chadronet as members; and Donovan as Chairman of the Appointments Committee, with Vella-Wilkinson and Colantuono as members. Former council members John DelGiudice and Raymond Gallucci were in attendance, as were several other local dignitaries.
Avedisian thanked the service of Warwick officials not returning to office, including Councilmen Place, DelGiudice and Raymond Gallucci, School Committee members Christopher Friel and Patrick Maloney, and Rep. Robert Flaherty.
I heard this story is up for a North Korea Pulitzer. As to all these committees she and others are/were on, intergovernmental- have we had consolidation or do we still have three dozen school districts, fire districts, highway departments, police departments, and so on. Economic development committee huh? RI is dead last or second to last in several major economic categories in the nation. Almost TWICE the unemployment as Massachusetts. "well run city" huh, didnt we just reinstate the accused THIEF to the highway dept with BACK PAY? These are ACTUAL results of these people being elected. AND THE BEACON RUNS ONE FLUFF PIECE AFTER ANOTHER. Thats journalism? Soft-pedal the hard stories, and hard-pedal the soft ones. And RI stays at the bottom nationally in so many ways. Our taxes have soared in the last decade and yet the pensions and OPEB retiree benefits are mostly unfunded, where will THAT money come from? Even higher taxes. Will the last smart person to leave RI please turn out the lights, I want to see how long it takes the remaining idiots to notice!
If the media thought that they hit the lottery of sound bites when Gov. Gump was elected, they must be thrilled now.

Other Information:
Please note, that the standard length of the 28 gauge and 29 gauge needle is ½ inch while the 30 gauge and 31 gauge are only 5/16 inch. This shorter needle is required to prevent the much thinner needle from bending. There is also a psychological incentive to use a shorter needle, but most adults will find that the 29 gauge will work just fine as they need a slightly larger diameter and greater length.
Please consult your physician or diabetes educator before making any changes in needle size, length, or capacity

Artist: Jim Green
Title: "Musical Warning Beacons"
Medium: Digital - Sound
Year Installed: 2003
Venue: Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport Terminals 1, 2, 3 & 4
The "Musical Warning Beacons" installed at six baggage-claim carousels in Terminal 1, function as alert signals announcing the arrival of baggage. Each beacon has its own distinct sound; boat horns with sounds of the ocean and beckoning steel drums. This lively, friendly and functional sound-art is substituted for the generic buzz alarm customary at other airports.
"I intend for the "Musical Warning Beacons" to increase regional identity and help create a welcoming baggage-claim at Fort Lauderdale Airport. I intend for this work to celebrate arrival."

What is Algebra?
Lesson 4 of 14
Objective: SWBAT identify the terms used in algebraic expressions.
Do Now
To begin today's lesson, I ask students to complete a Do Now problem focused on reasoning about numerical expressions. The task requires students to use the orders of operations successfully. I thought this would be a good idea because today, the students will be introduced to algebraic expressions.
When students are done solving this problem in their notes , I will introduce them to the idea that numerical expressions are only one type of mathematical expression. We will start to learn about others today.
Resources (4)
To get students started on the right foot with algebraic expressions, I will first introduce some new mathematical vocabulary to my students. I will ask my students to take notes as I display and discuss common vocabulary used in algebra. The vocabulary words are defined and examples are highlighted for each one.
I hold my students responsible for writing the definition and examples for each new vocabulary term. I generally point out the highlighted pieces, so students can make connections correctly. I remind my students to use a highlighter or bold text to draw attention to important examples.
Additional Resources:
Resources (3)
During this activity I give the students the opportunity to apply the new vocabulary terms. I begin by having the students work through the True or False and What is... slides independently. Once all students have completed each problem, I'm going to have them do a Round robin share with their table mates (MP1, MP3, MP6). Each student should share their response and say why they know it's true. If table mates disagree, they can share their thoughts at that time.

Coming to terms
During this section of the lesson, we will focus on what an algebraic expression looks like and identifying the number of terms in the expression. I will give the students four algebraic expressions to analyze (see Is it an expression?). The students will be identifying the parts, deciding if the expression is algebraic or numeric, and determining how many terms are in the expression (MP2, MP6). The last two questions will be a challenge for most students. I expect that these problems will provide a clear assessment of who can apply the meanings of the vocabulary words. If students struggle with these problems, they can use their tablemates to help with the understanding
As students finish, we will go over the answers as a whole group.
Around the Room
After introducing students to new vocabulary, I want to give them the chance to get up and move around the room a bit as we continue to learn about algebraic expressions. So, next we will do an Around the Room activity. The Around the Room questions sum up the learning for the day. I used several different formats for the questions:
- true/false
- multiple choice
- open response.
This activity should be fast paced so I will actively encourage students to keep moving. I want to make sure that we have time to go over answers as a whole group.

To bring today's lesson to an end, the students will be doing a Connect 3 using the words:
- expression
- variable
- coefficient
I have prepared a Graphic Organizer for students who need this resource.
The Common Core explains that the students need to know that a coefficient belongs to a variable, whereas a constant is used with addition and subtraction (6.EE.A.2). I will look and listen for this understanding as students work. If time permits, I will have the students share their responses with a partner.
