I'm supposed to write a blog today. I'm supposed to recap last night's shenanigans in a charmingly witty way. I'm supposed to.
But, but, but... ribbons and lace and hat boxes and scented candles! Too distracting. Look over there. A flouncy petticoat and a delicate pink shawl! And over there. A cameo necklace. And, and, and... dried flowers, a string of pearls, panty hose hanging over the shower door, a harp! Good god, not a harp. And not just an everyday harp, but a harp with a pink tufted stool next to it. What a travesty. It might as well be an olden timey perfume bottle. You know the ones. The kind with the puffy atomizer pump festooned with fringe and dangling beads.
So many pretty pretty trinkets to gaze longingly at. And me here in my Lily Pulitzer canopied bed. Crabtree & Evelyn hand cream on my decoupaged nightstand. An empty Wedgewood teacup with a dried stiff chamomile teabag stuck to the side of it. And me lying here in my nightie overcome with estrogen. It courses through my veins and seeps through every pore. It paints my toenails pink and makes my skin smell of jasmine bath oils. It puts soft bouncy curls in my hair and adorns my earlobes with the daintiest diamond studs.
Dear readers I ask you, how can I possibly string sentences together with dream bubbles of fluffy kittens and meadows full of wild flowers dancing above my head? This estrogen is so debilitating. It cripples my logic. It exhausts my very being. Oh pesky pesky estrogen. Instead, I'll lie back on my silk pillow, lower my eye shades and sink back down into my Egyptian cotton where I'll hopefully once again dream of bluebells, wisteria and silver hand mirrors.
Let's recap, shall we?
We continue our feminine fete with the most womanly of symbols, that goddess of tides and seasons, the ever-present moon gazing down upon Ovarian (Solarrion). Head jostling muggy mug Tempestt (Spencer), spasming from within over being bamboozled by a woman, shakes his head ferociously while Kass, attorney at law, shrugs her shoulders and nonchalantly says that she understands how people might be mad at her. You see, Kass is a pragmatist. She sees things for what they are on the surface rather than stopping to ponder the whys of the way people conduct themselves. Either a thing is fact or fiction. Fact: Cagney (Sarah) was incredibly annoying and had to go. Fact: Kass thinks blindsides are fun. Fact: Kass is playing for Kass to win, not anyone else.
So, considering all of these facts and the systematic way in which Kass sees the world, it is not only perplexing but tit bouncingly hysterical when Tempestt, oh manly Tempestt, accuses Kass of being yanked hither and thither because of her estrogen. Like, "You can't think straight because of your estrogen." Or, "You didn't play how I wanted you to play because of your damn estrogen." Yo Tempestt, pop a Midol and place a heating pad on your ovaries, dude. Cagney didn't like Kass and could have turned on her at any moment. I'm sorry if that tangles up your hair ribbons, but not every decision in the game is about you. Kass hornswoggled you and now you're going to have to deal with it. If clutching your pearls and telling everyone to shut up is how you get through the bad times then so be it. But in the words of the great Ramona Singer, "TAKE A XANAX! CALM DOWN!"
Emboldened with the satisfaction of a blindside well done, Kass awakens to a new day prepared not to take anyone's shit. She got rid of a know-it-all, had two big threatening guys play their Idols unnecessarily and this morning she's feeling pretty proud of herself. I love days like that. Those days after you've just kicked some ass and you're brimming over with self confidence and entitlement. Snide remarks you'd normally let slide suddenly become fuel for you to finally put people in their place. You're fearless. You're plucky. And you're not going to take it anymore when a windpipe like Funbags (Morgan) lolls about and expects everyone to wait on her hand and foot...
"Ah we gettin' some wutter tah-day?"
"Maybe Funbags can get the water today."
"Wah iz she?"
"In her usual place."
"Funbags, youse gettin' wutter?"
"I can get water but I don't see how her saying it in a rude way is going to make me get water."
"Everything I say to you is going to be in a rude way because you've been being rude to me."
BAM! POW! Suck on that, Funbags. Get off your lazy ass and do something. Kass, and everyone else, is pretty fed up with how Funbags thinks she's the center of the universe. Funbags is under the assumption that people keep her around for her "cuteness" when in actuality she's like the old dog who pees on himself. She just sits there in a puddle of her own filth and expects others to clean it up for her.
To hear Funbags tell her side of the story is pretty appalling. You'd think that maybe she'd justify resenting Kass for how she betrayed her alliance, but nooooo. No, that's not what Funbags does. Instead, Funbags says that Kass is a bitter ugly old lady who is probably used to being ignored all her life. Whereas, and she doesn't mean to sound conceited, Funbags is "cuter" than Kass. First off, Funbags, pet, you're not that cute. You've got big tits. That's why people give you attention. I've got some luscious knockers myself and, believe me, when I wear a low cut top I can pretty much get whatever I want. Let's call a spade a spade here. Guys are mesmerized by tits and ass. They are simpletons that when they see two pieces of flesh pressed together their brains go jingle jangle and they start speaking in tongues. It doesn't mean you, my dear, have magical powers. ALL women can do the same if they bend over at the right angle. There are millions of girls much much prettier than you are so you can just climb down off that high horse of yours. The more you speak and do that "I don't mean to be conceited but I'm cute" thing that you do, the uglier you become. In fact, I'm willing to bet that every male viewer would prefer it if your mouth was duct taped shut and you had a bag over your head. All they want to see are the boobies struggling against those two small pieces of fabric.
And this brings us to the big Reward Challenge. Come on in guys! For today's Reward Challenge, you'll be split up into two teams. Each team will have to walk across a balance beam, climb up a wall, drag a treasure chest up said wall, and solve a puzzle. The Purple team will be Kass, MalnuTrisha (Trish), Lacey (Tony), Woo and Tasha. The Orange team will be Tempestt, LJ, Funbags, Jeffrey (Jefra) and Jeremiah. You'll be playing to be a part of a commercial for Outback Steakhouse's Bacon Margarita. Gross. Survivors ready, go!
And with the magic of fast forwarding and my complete and utter refusal to recap Challenges anymore... ORANGE TEAM WINS REWARD!!! And at home we all groaned knowing that Funbags is happy.
Back at Ovarian, it's a silver lining kind of a day. Crabby snacks and homemades for everyone! Instead of being down and out about their loss, the Purple team members decide to keep their heads up and enjoy a double helping of rice for lunch. With those pesky Reward Challenge winners gone, Kass uses the opportunity to bring up the next Tribal Council. She asks the group who they're more worried about, Tempestt or Jeremiah. Lacey brings up how Jeremiah doesn't talk too much (because he's busy hacking them all to bits in his mind) while Kass suggests that Tempestt is good at challenges. MalnuTrisha, however, thinks that Kass should make the decision between the two since she has hung out with Tempestt more than any of the former Brawns have. Kass quickly poo-poo's that idea not wanting the weight of that responsibility on her shoulders.
In an aside to us, Kass declares that as far as she is concerned, she is still a free agent and has no alliance. She wants it known that she has no intention of calling the shots like Cagney did. Listening to all of this, Lacey hopes that Kass is telling the truth. He hopes that she's serious about voting with them at the next Tribal Council.
Meanwhile, off at the Reward, the Orange team is arriving at a makeshift Outback Steakhouse shack. Unfortunately, we get Funbags describing it all in that monotone lazy voice of hers which means we all nodded off and only awakened when our heads banged into our tumblers of gin. Ouchie. The girl talks like she's reading a scientific journal about the mating habits of insects or something. It's brutal. ANYHOW, after caveman Tempestt finished shoving handfuls of red meat into his mouth, he finally decides to wipe his hands. And what do you suppose was tucked inside of his napkin? Yup, you guessed it. A clue to another Hidden Immunity Idol. The scene ends with Jeremiah announcing, "I'll stick a fork in all y'all. You're done!" *stab stab stab*
Back at Ovarian, just as the Orange team is returning with their full bellies, the sky opens up and the rains return. With our soggy Survivors tucked away inside the shelter, Tempestt decides that now is the best time to steal away to read his clue and hunt for the Idol. Woo watches Tempestt sneak off into the trees and, as a long time fan of Survivor, he knows that the chances are pretty high that Tempestt discovered a clue while at the Reward.
Tempestt, all gestures and face scrunches, lacks the ability to do anything stealthily when followed by a cameraman. He can't simply express his frustration in words, he has to dramatically toss his arms upwards and exhale loudly before placing his hands on his waist. This is the universal pose for "Hmm I know it's around here somewhere, but gosh darn is this is going to be tough." Look, I know you're looking for the Idol and the clue is vague. I know you'll have a time of it. All of the viewers know. We know because we're already following you. The sweeping of the arms and the tortured facial expressions are unnecessary - unless you're a mime in training. In which case, can you give Funbags some lessons because her monotone voice drives me nuts? Thanks.
So with Tempestt gesticulating wildly for the benefit of his cameraman, Woo, stealthy light on his feet Woo, follows the gestures in hopes of finding the Idol for himself. With his man buns tied tightly he creeps about through the brush careful not to make a sound while weirdo mime Tempestt auditioning for the Commedia dell'Arte disrobes magnifying each movement. It is a long drawn out ridiculous show that involved placing the clue in his teeth, holding his pants up to his face as he lines up the pleats and then finally, finally!, he placing the clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol ON TOP of the fabric of his pants. On. Top. He doesn't tuck it safely deep down in the pocket nor does he hide it in the toe of his shoe. He places a loose piece of parchment atop his khakis before flimsily throwing an empty leg over it.
With Woo lurking in the bushes watching his every movement, Tempestt attempts and fails to find the Idol. Frustrated and wet, Tempestt moves to another part of the creek to continue his search running smack dab into Ninja Woo. Woo brushes it off and pretends that he too is out for a walk. The two exchange a "Hey buddy" and a "Yup, out walking" before each going on their merry way. Woo then comes across Tempestt's khakis and, being the good samaritan he is, tosses them to Tempestt.
According to the laws of physics and gravity and common sense, if you throw a pair of pants in the air with a piece of paper loosely resting on them, that piece of paper will fall to the ground and a delightful chase scene will ensue. Upon seeing the piece of paper on the ground, Woo snatches it up and hauls ass into the woods. Only after signaling with his arms and forming his lips into an "O" while his eyes bug out does Tempestt take off running after Woo. Lighter, quicker, and not pausing for costume changes or denouements, Woo whizzes through the trees "Sonic The Hedgehog Style" cutting back and forth across the path and back to camp.
What can Tempestt do but pause to take the stage alone and dramatically lift his hand to his brow and exhale? Well, I'll tell you one thing he can do. He can stop yukking it up and keep chasing after Woo!
Woo arrives at camp breathless and immediately asks the sleeping Funbags and her ladies in waiting if they knew about Tempestt having the clue for the Idol. Funbags yawns and looks at Woo with an annoyed look on her face. She doesn't mean to be conceited or anything, but Woo isn't nearly as cute as she is. Then she rolls over again and goes back to sleep. Woo, however, gathers up his troops and heads off to find the clue himself. Shortly thereafter, Tempestt arrives whining and kicking rocks about how Woo stole his clue. Not only is he tattling and whining but he's lying. He tells his alliance that Woo threw his pants in the water and stole his clue. Woo did no such thing! Woo tossed the pants to Tempestt not even knowing that the clue was there to begin with. Shady shady Tempestt then begs his own troops to help him in the search. Watching Funbags awaken and put one foot in the front of the other shocks everyone especially Lacey. He remarks, "You know it's bad when Funbags, the girl that you can't tell if she's a pillow or a person, because she doesn't do anything, you know it's serious, when she's up off her ass looking for this Idol." Serious indeed.
And so, with both alliances feverishly looking for the Idol, Tempestt stands to the side slapping his legs, kicking rocks and sighing loudly. Eventually he rejoins the search and rescue and wouldn't you know it? Flibberty jibbit. He finds the Idol stuck deep inside of a mud wall. Dammit! I wanted someone else to find out so Tempestt would maybe act out his own suicide and succeed. I can't stand him! (I don't really want him to die. I just, you know, want him to go away! He angers me so with his FACE.)
For Tempestt. Maui, January 2014
And this brings us to the big Immunity Challenge. Come on in guys! For today's Challenge you will stand on your toes with a block wedged between your head and the frame. When your block falls, you are out of the Challenge. Tempestt, since he's a major douche, has to wedge the sea urchin I found on the beach in Maui between his head and the frame instead of the block. Last person standing wins Immunity. Survivors ready, go!
Plop, plop, plop. All the Survivors drop. And who are we left with? Ugh! TEMPESTT WINS IMMUNITY!!! Damn him!
With Tempestt safe from the vote, the big question now is whom to send home. The big alliance of six meets on the beach to discuss their options. LJ suggests that Funbags is the easy and obvious choice while MalnuTrisha suggests that Tasha should go instead. Tasha made it to 2nd place in that last Immunity Challenge and that makes her a threat now. Lacey, however, my man Lacey is worried that if one of the other alliance does have the Idol that they would be more inclined to use it on Tasha over Funbags. No one in their right mind would sacrifice their Idol to save that lazy lump. I mean, lumps. To emphasize his point Lacey points to the shelter where Funbags is resting and says, "Look at her! Will everybody just look at her?! She does nothing but sleep. Get her the hell off the island." Lacey's logic begins to make some sense to the others as it begins to look like Funbags will be the target. And if for some reason, Tribal Council gets crazy like it did last time, Tasha will be their Plan B choice.
Seeing the other alliance talking and planning, Jeremiah asks his group who they're voting for tonight. Funbags mumbles "Kass" followed by "But our votes aren't going to count anyways." Tempestt then suggests that maybe they should all vote Lacey instead in the off chance that he does something stupid at Tribal. Funny one-liners, a laugh like a loon and giggling at the other Survivors while pointing at them does NOT count as "something stupid" I'll have you know.
In thinking about his plan to try to get rid of my precious Lacey, Tempestt comes to the conclusion that he has no other choice but to make a pitch to Kass, attorney at law, to flip again. Kass predicted this might happen and she was right! She knew her old alliance would be mad at her, but she also knew that, in a bind, they'd beg for her to come back. Kass responds to Tempestt's pitch by telling him that she'll seriously think about it and that it's definitely an option for her. Personally, this isn't the response I was hoping to hear. I like Kass and I like several people in her new alliance (Lacey, MalnuTrisha, Woo, LJ), but I don't like the idea of having her piss them off. Tempestt and his crew of thumbtacks might get over betrayal quickly, but Lacey and his crew won't.
The big question now is, what will Kass do? And this brings us to Tribal Council. Dimples begins by asking Lacey about what went down at last week's Tribal. Lacey tells him that the wind simply switched directions and now they have an alliance of 6 instead of 4. Kass very matter of factly raises her hand, "And Dimples, obviously I was the wind that blew through." In the Jury stands, Cagney rolled her eyes, but at home I laughed and I laughed. I love a confident Kass. She's succinct and she doesn't waste anyone's time with politically correct answers.
We then turn to Tempestt who makes a sad face and admits that he got a little out of hand after the last Tribal. He then says something that I couldn't make head or tails of. He says he'd rather go out of the game now with a risk at winning (?) and then he mimed a bunch of things, winked and danced a jig. I don't know what it was supposed to mean, but I think it's something like, "Look at me! Look how I can be dynamic and interesting!"
And this brings us to Funbags. *sigh* Funbags is as about as smart as a doorknob. And her logic, well let's just say that she has none. She admits being weak in Challenges and then farts out something like, "If everyone in the world could choose to be cute or ugly, most would pick cute." And then I thought to myself, "Well, why didn't you?" Ba dum bum! I'm here all week, people. Alright look, Funbags is a dolt with big jugs and if Kass had any inkling to cross back to Tempestt's side, Funbags just completely destroyed it by opening her mouth and letting words fall out of it. More importantly, I gotta scoot. I'm about to become a homeowner (OH MY GOD) and this little lady has to finally stop eating grapes by hanging the bunch over her mouth and go find herself some real live bowls to put them in. By a vote of 75 ugly people, Funbags is the 8th person voted out of Survivor Contagion.
So, what did you think of last night's episode? Does Tempestt bother anyone else or is it just me? If an ugly person farts in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Is Woo faster than Sonic the Hedgehog? Comment it out bitches and have a great day!

Feb. 28, 2002
Junior Kendra Rhea, from nearby Lakeside, scored a game-high 17 points and added six rebounds, leading the Broncos in both categories.
The win gave the Broncos their fifth straight 20-win season.
Senior Becki Ashbaugh finished with nine assists in the game, with her eighth giving her 200 this season, the first Bronco to reach that milestone and only the fourth in WCC history.
The Broncos finished the game shooting 55.8 percent, marking only the fourth time this season the team has surpassed .500 from the field.
Santa Clara was 0-5 in its last five trips to the city of San Diego, including four regular season losses to USD during league play and last year's first-round loss in the WCC Tournament to Portland. Additionally, the Broncos were 0-3 in the two-year-old Jenny Craig Pavilion.
The Broncos' 30-point victory marked only the fourth time this season the team has defeated an opponent by that much. It was the seventh 20-point victory of the year, but only the second over a conference opponent... the first was Gonzaga to open WCC play.
San Diego, who is ranked 27th nationally in three-point field goal percentage, was 0-8 from long range in the game's first 30 minutes a finished 2-12 from behind the arc. USD is now 2-10 when making less than five three-pointers in a game.
Junior Jennifer Bradley gave a solid performance off the bench, hitting a lay-in and a three pointer right after entering the contest to spark the Broncos. She finished with 11 points-all in the first half-and was 4-5 from the field, including 3-4 from the land of plenty. She was also strong defensively, nabbing a game and career-high four steals.

It's safe to say that since the introduction of the Governor, The Walking Dead season 3 has been leading up to a climactic showdown between Philip's well-armed citizen soldiers and Rick's group of bedraggled survivors back at the prison.
At the end of last week's 'This Sorrowful Life,' Rick gave everyone at the prison the opportunity to decide whether or not their new home was worth fighting (and probably dying) for, or if they'd simply be better off by cutting their losses and moving on down the road – maybe move in with Morgan and help him build his zombie obstacle course.
Surprisingly, The Walking Dead opted out of spending a significant portion of the season finale showing democracy in action and instead went the bait-and-switch route by insinuating that the group had decided the relative, yet creepy security provided them by the mostly-sturdy walls of the prison were not worth dying over. Carl was seen packing up his belongings and shrugging off his father's attempts at conversation, leading us to believe that perhaps the vote didn't go his way and despite his child-soldier protestations, the group was headed for the road once more.
But, of course, that's not what happened, and it's also not the only bait-and-switch 'Welcome to the Tombs' has to offer.
Early on, Philip is seen giving someone a brutal beating, which, considering it plays out from the POV of the victim, the audience may initially believe it to be Andrea – who was last seen wide-eyed and shackled in Philip's dental/torture chair. Regardless how problematic and inconsistent her character had become, it's hard to believe anyone was looking forward to an episode wherein the Governor actually tortures Andrea, and thankfully, the writers' better judgment won out and no such event occurred. Instead, Philip turns on Milton for setting fire to the walkers and then leaves him to die in the same room as the shackled Andrea.
Ultimately, this would prove to seal Andrea and Milton's fate. As the two of them wait for the grievously injured Milton to expire, he alerts Andrea to the pair of pliers he stashed before the Governor did him in. It's as tense a scene as it is maddeningly simplistic, which, oddly enough, when coupled with the is-he-still-breathing check-ins on Milton manages to actually heighten the suspense, if not the desire for the viewer to yell at their television.
The Andrea and Milton situation plays out over the course of the entire episode, which eventually ends up in the most likely place: Milton goes full-zombie and attacks Andrea just as she frees herself. There's a moment where the viewer is left to wonder exactly what happened. Did Milton chow down on Andrea, or did she manage to get the better of him? As it turns out, it's a bit of both. Andrea suffers an undead Milton-bite and although she's able to dispatch the zombie, it's basically curtains for another character that certainly had her fair share of detractors, recently.
And it's here that The Walking Dead is able to play to its strengths. Much as the series did with last week's farewell to Merle, and earlier in the season with the deaths of Lori and T-Dog, the characters seem to be given a better shake in death than they ever were while they were still drawing breath.
Which brings the discussion back around to the Governor – another potentially strong character who was mostly a ball of inconsistent characterization and questionable motivations this season. And here in 'Welcome to the Tombs,' he seems to exist solely to serve the plot rather than develop into a more interesting character.
As far as climactic battles are concerned, there's no doubt the one that'd been hinted at during the season's various time-filling episodes would have been considered serious fan service. But instead, the finale decided to go in a different direction by watching as Philip essentially self-destructs; first getting his people caught in a trap set by Rick and Co., and then gunning all but one of them down after they tuck tail and run.
While this sadly leaves the door wide open for the Governor to return, it also allowed for a somewhat refreshingly optimistic turn of events that, although it made Rick look absurdly fickle yet again, brought out an interesting ideological conflict between him and Carl.
In the end 'Welcome to the Tombs' worked out in much the same way as 'This Sorrowful Life' and, to a certain degree, like season 3 as a whole. About half of the season (mostly the pre-hiatus portion aside from 'Clear') was fairly strong, but those moments were mostly undone by muddied characterizations and a drawn-out conflict that, as we see here, didn't really deliver.
The Walking Dead will return for season 4 in the fall of 2013 on AMC.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. – The USGS has released a series of aerial photographs showing before-and-after images of Hurricane Sandy's impacts on the Atlantic Coast.
The photos, part of a USGS assessment of coastal change from as far south as the Outer Banks of North Carolina to as far north as Massachusetts, show that the storm caused dramatic changes to portions of shoreline extending hundreds of miles. Pre- and post-storm images of the New Jersey and New York shoreline in particular tell a story of a coastal landscape that was considerably altered by the historic storm.
"Sandy taught us yet again that not all Cat-1 hurricanes are created equal: the superstorm's enormous fetch over the Atlantic produced storm surge and wave erosion of historic proportions," said USGS Director Marcia McNutt. "We have seized this opportunity to gather unique data on a major coastline-altering event."
As major storms approach, the USGS conducts pre-storm and post-storm flights to gather aerial images along the length of the coastline expected to experience impacts from the storm's landfall. Identifying sites of such impacts helps scientists understand which areas are likely to undergo the most severe impacts from future storms, and improves future coastal impact forecasting.
Photo pairs from North Carolina to Massachusetts will be made available online as the coastal change assessment continues.
"This storm's impact on sandy beaches included significant beach and dune erosion and minor disruption of infrastructure in the south," said USGS oceanographer Nathaniel Plant, "to extreme and often catastrophic erosion, overwash and sediment deposition, and inundation on northern beaches like Mantoloking, New Jersey."
Overwash occurs when storm surge and waves exceed the elevation of protective sand dunes, thereby transporting sand inland. In addition to threatening infrastructure like roadways, it can bury portions of buildings and cause extensive property damage. Since beaches and dunes serve as a first line of defense against extreme storms, this could further compromise the safety of coastal populations.
Data collected from these surveys are also used to improve predictive models of potential impacts from future severe storms. Before a storm makes landfall, USGS makes these predictions to help coastal communities identify areas particularly vulnerable to severe coastal change, such as beach and dune erosion, overwash, and inundation.
For instance, in the days before Sandy approached the eastern seaboard, the USGS ran models forecasting that 91 percent of the Delmarva coastline would experience beach and dune erosion, while 98 percent and 93 percent of beaches and dunes in New Jersey and New York, respectively, were likely to erode. Preliminary analysis suggests that Hurricane Sandy rapidly displaced massive quantities of sand in a capacity that visibly changed the landscape.
The USGS worked closely with the National Park Service to gather field data on pre- and post- storm conditions at Fire Island National Seashore on Long Island. The field team went to Fire Island in advance of the storm to capture the morphology of the beach and dunes. The team re-surveyed the beach to capture its state immediately after the storm, and they found drastic changes.
"We found that there was widespread dune erosion and overwash," said St. Petersburg-based USGS coastal geologist Cheryl Hapke. "On average the dunes eroded back 70 feet - the equivalent of 30-years of change, which had previously been measured. Our data also showed that dunes lost as much as 10 feet of elevation."
This rapid response data was used to help the National Park Service assess the areas of the coast that were most vulnerable to a nor'easter that impacted the coast a week after Sandy.
The USGS is also processing pre- and post-landfall airborne lidar data to gather information on the extent of coastal change caused by Sandy. Lidar, or light detection and ranging, is an aircraft-based remote sensing method that uses laser pulses to collect highly detailed ground elevation data.

Annotated Playthrough Western Forest
A simple run in the Western Forest using no preps, potions or boons, converting advanced glyphs and shop purchases, and ignoring the subdungeon. I also don't find the fireball glyph until very late, forcing me to rely on utility glyphs for most of the game. A discussion of this playthrough can be found here.
I find ENDIWAL and WONAFYT right away. I also find HELPMEH and APHEELSIK, which would have totally transformed this playthrough, but instead I convert them on sight as per my self-imposed restrictions. I start spamming WONAFYT until I've captured all ten of the level 1 monsters. I also buy a Troll Heart, which gives no immediate leverage but is a nice long term investment and decent conversion fodder. I now have a bit of a quandary. Even with ENDISWAL, I can't handle that Golem-2. I'm really feeling the Fighter's lack of leverage. I can either explore until I find a softer level 2, a stronger source of leverage, or I can just kill two level ones and move on.
For a non-Fighter without WONAFYT, leveling off of level one monsters is a terrible idea. That's five popcorn gone before you even really get started. The Fighter only has to spend two popcorn to get the same effect, so sometimes it's worth it. But I don't want to commit quite yet. I'm looking ahead a few moves. Once I hit 2nd level, I could probably get that Meatman-3, but then what? I'd be midway through the level and have no suitable opponents. Since I'd have to explore to find more targets, I might as well do that exploring now and maybe find better options for my current situation.
Hmm. A Bandit-3. Useless to me right now, but once I hit level 2 I could take him and the Meatman-3 to reach 3rd level right away. I even have two level 4 monsters available for the level after that. It's a good set up, but I'm concerned about fighting those Bandits. My main source of leverage right now is ENDISWAL, and killing those Bandits will give me piles of Curse and effectively disable that glyph. In the end, I decide to do it anyway. You don't want to burn all of your blackspace hoping for something perfect when you already have something that will work.
I do it. I level off of the Goblin-1 and Gorgon-1 and then kill the Bandit-3, gaining tons of curse in the process. It might look like I can't beat this Meatman without the aid of ENDISWAL, but in truth I can beat him quite easily. I do roughly double his damage while healing at 2/3 of his rate. That means that if we both keep healing and exchanging blows, I will slowly gain ground until I win. This is what we have taken to calling "regen-fighting" on the forums.
After several passes, I finally reach the critical moment. If I explore exactly three squares (and no more!) I will be able to beat him with one HP to spare. If I screwed up and over explored, it would n't be a disaster, I'd just have to make a few more passes. I'd even win by a bigger margin, but it's obviously better to just win now.
Done. I'm now going to commit to being badly cursed and take this Bandit-4. Between my conversions, powerups, and the forgiving Normal monster array, I can take this guy in a straight slugfest.
I buy a Fine Sword from the shop and can now just barely take this Wraith-4, which level me up.
I haven't been mentioning it, but I've been spamming WONAFYT after every level up. I've captured all of the monsters from level 4 and below by now. That will be handy later.
Right now I'm checking out this Wraith-5. I can beat him, but then I'll be mana burned and still 4 xp away from a ding. Not that I can really use the mana right now, but maybe the Fireball glyph is around the next corner. I'll look for more targets first.
I'm feeling a bit frustrated with my situation. My huge curse stack is cutting me off from ENDISWAL, and the lack of Fireball is really hurting. If I had access to either glyph, I could be fighting level 6s right now. I'm tired of these lousy level+1 fights. I need to be reducing the number of high level monsters!
Another Wraith-5. Fine. I'll kill the pair, and that will level me up and clear the mana burn.
I'm done accepting lame catfights. After clearing the Wraiths, I only had two curse stacks left. I ate two popcorn monsters and can finally use the Stoneskin effect of ENDISWAL again. That'll be enough leverage to kill this Gorgon-7 and the Goat-7. That's more like it! Finally clearing out the 7+s.
Now I'm getting serious. I want that Golem-9. I think I can get him with mid-fight ding. I'm 8 xp away from a level, which is kind of a lot. I could eat 8 xp worth of popcorn, but that is wasteful. Instead, I'll get that Gorgon-6. She makes for lousy popcorn, and she'll put me at exactly one xp below threshold. Note that I did NOT go after the Zombie-7, even though I probably could have taken him. I don't want to level up right now, and I will happily trade away a monster-7 for a monster-9.
All set. I did some math and I believe that I will win by 2-3 HPs. That Troll Heart is actually making a difference. I go ahead and convert WONAFYT. There isn't much left to capture and I need to start ramping my damage.
I cut him, ding, and cut him again. Look how close it is. I ended up winning by 2 health.
While recovering, I find a Goat-9. Perfect. That's both level 9s accounted for.
And now I am surveying the situation. I'm one xp below 8th level and have a pile of popcorn availabe, augmented by the effects of WONAFYT and the Fighter learning bonus. This would be a good time to start in on the boss, but I have other plans. There is still a fair amount of blackspace, a monster-7, and three monster-8s out there (you can only see two of the 8s, but I know there's a third one out there). Between the catfighting bonus and the Fighter bonus, that's 37 'hard' xp still available. That's enough to get deep into level 8 and still have enough popcorn to level twice, easily. That's a better deal that being level 7 and having two dings, so I decide to go for it. It doesn't really matter, because I could win either way, but this is about technique and optimization.
Oh also, I found the Fireball. Finally.
The Fireballs let me bring this Wraith down easily. I could finish it off right now, but I don't. I have 103 health, and he does 52 damage. That would mean I'd be leveling while still having almost half of my health left. What a waste.
Instead, I hit this Dragon-8. I'm now one short of being able to finish the Wraith, which I knew would happen. Why did I do that?
Because by exploring one square, I heal enough to finish the Wraith. I level up and cure the damage, but the Dragon stays wounded.
I finish the Dragon. While healing, I find that remaining level-8 that I knew was out there. Easy pickings.
It's time to win the game. Because the boss can blink I don't want there to be any blackspace left. I use the remaining scraps to regen fight the Zombie-7, softening him up and transforming his 8 xp from 'hard' to 'popcorn.' I also convert the Troll Heart. The conversion is now more important than a few extra HP.
I lead in with fireballs, just in case I get forced to cut through a Murkshade plant. After two fireballs and a melee exchange, I'm ready to ding. I decide to level off of this Goblin-6. You want to always level off of the most difficult monster that you have spare resources for.
I empty my resources into the Druid again, and then level up again. I'm now level ten and STILL have enough popcorn to level YET AGAIN. This is the power of the Fighter. Of course, I don't need the extra ding, but that's still pretty cool. Notice that all of the high level monsters are gone. It really is all popcorn now.
No potions, no boons, no subdungeon, and barely any magic until the end. Normal is easy once you know what to do.

At an event today in San Francisco, Intel formally launched its new six-core Xeon 7400 processor, codenamed "Dunnington." The new chip is basically three dual-core Penryn processors packed onto a single processor die, along with a large pool of shared L3 cache and interconnect logic. With six cores and three levels of cache on one die, Dunnington is a 1.9-billion-transistor monster. This is almost as big as the company's latest 2-billion-transistor Itanium chip (launched in February), and it's quite a milestone for the x86 instruction set. In four- and eight-socket configurations, a supercomputer based on the new Xeon can now execute 48 or 96 simultaneous threads per node, a reality that's bound to help the architecture advance further in the high performance computing space. And at the very top end, there's also a 16-socket configuration on offer.
Unlike the 65nm, quad-core Tukwila, Dunnington is produced on Intel's 45nm process. This means that Dunnington uses less power, and indeed, the top-end, 2.66GHz SKU has a 130W TDP (compare Tukwila's 170W TDP). The 2.4GHz part boasts a 90W TDP, and there's a 2.13GHz part that runs at a relatively cool 65W.
The Xeon 7400 family also contains a four-core variant, and since all of the Dunnington floorplans I have seen have six cores, I'm going to speculate that the four-core parts just have one of the core pairs disabled. (This could be done for yield reasons). The family's L3 caches come in 16MB, 12MB, and 8MB variants, with most of them being 12MB.
The Xeon 7400 series architecture
Dunnington is a drop-in replacement for Tigerton on the Caneland server platform, a fact that's actually quite important for the following reason: Nehalem is the successor to Dunnington, but Nehalem will use an entirely different interconnect (QuickPath) than previous x86 designs, which means that Dunnington will have to suffice for users who don't make the jump to QuickPath.
Ultimately, the entire Intel side of the x86 ecosystem will have to shift from the company's existing (and ancient) frontside bus architecture to QuickPath as Intel pushes Nehalem across market segments from the top down. So the six-core Dunnington will provide a kind of "legacy upgrade" path for Xeon users, enabling them to hold out for quite a while before making the QuickPath transition. In this respect, Dunnington's mammoth size and legacy support seem designed to make it a compelling alternative to Nehalem, at least for a quarter or two.Posted on

What does it mean to become one's daddy or a daddy? One's mummy or a mummy?
Freud famously said: "the finding of an object is in fact a re-finding of it". He considered that romantic feelings always have a history and an inner life of their own. Falling in love, at any time in life, is accompanied by unearthing of a love that has already been experienced before – the complex psychological dynamics surrounding our early relationships often re-emerges, finding different forms and outlets. The way in which we love, observe and experience love as children has a profound, albeit non obvious impact on how we may love and be loved by others. Certain attitudes and roles, events – real or imagined – inspire and guide us, as we unconsciously expect others to respond to us in particular ways. We may be drawn to re-experiencing certain patterns or go to extreme lengths to avoid others.
"The subject identifies himself with someone else, so that he is in doubt as to which his self is, or substitutes the extraneous self for his own. In other words, there is a doubling, dividing and interchanging of the self, and finally there is the constant recurrence of the same thing – the repetition of the same features or character-traits or vicissitudes, of the same crimes, or even the same names through several consecutive generations."
You may have noticed a heart in a cage. Whom does or did the heart belong to?
What comes to your mind when you think of it? Could it symbolise a new life? Maybe love? Or, given its roughness, is it more associated with ripping the heart out? A loss or death, perhaps?
Think about the cage. Is it imprisonment or protection? Or something else still?
* * *
You have seen a scene where a man and a woman dance with a cage and a heart between them.
Which words would convey the man's experience and why?
Undisturbed joy. Overtaken by joy. Callous joy. Complete by joy. Joyful.
Your own: ……… .
"Side by side with the exigencies of life, love is the great educator; and it is by the love of those nearest him that the incomplete human being is induced to respect the decrees of necessity and to spare himself the punishment that follows any infringement of them."
The elements you chose to follow during your VR journey point to an interest in knowing the past in order to understand the present. You are not afraid to look back. Many people lack this capacity or appreciation for the past and how it continues to exercise its influence on them, but to you the past is important, even when it is difficult.
* * *
The elements that captured your attention during your VR may point to a longing for undisturbed joy and a wish to enjoy happiness to the full. You can be captivated by the happiness of others and, unlike many, be truly happy for them.

On Oscar weekend, the real-life action stars of "Act of Valor" bested Hollywood's pretend heroes.
The Relativity Media action flick, starring real, active-duty U.S. Navy SEALs, topped the weekend box office, earning $24.7 million according to studio estimates Sunday. That was a strong opening for a unique film made in collaboration with the Navy, which sought to demonstrate the skill and bravery of the SEALs without Hollywood imitation.
"How often can you repeat the same heroes that are big stars pretending to be heroes?" said Kyle Davies, president of worldwide distribution for Relativity. "I think moviegoers are ready for a new, fresh experience."
"Act of Valor" led another strong weekend at the box office, as it was up 24.4 percent over the corresponding weekend last year. Attendance this year is up 20.4 percent, a surge that hasn't been driven by Academy Awards contenders but by new films in a traditionally tepid movie-going season.
"The newcomers this year have just been igniting the box office," said Paul Dergarabedian, box office analyst for Hollywood.com. "It's a very competitive marketplace for both the Oscar contenders and the newcomers."
Lionsgate's "Tyler Perry's Good Deeds," a more dramatic offering for the consistently popular Perry, opened with a healthy $16 million. Its audience was resoundingly female (76 percent) and may have been slightly diminished by the appeal of Denzel Washington in the thriller "Safe House." That earned $11.4 million, bringing its cumulative total to $98.1 million.
The weekend's other new releases — the thriller "Gone" and the comedy "Wanderlust" — had weaker debuts. The latter, a comedy with Paul Rudd and Jennifer Aniston, earned $6.6 million. "Gone," starring Amanda Seyfried, took in $5 million.
In their third week of release, Sony's romantic drama "The Vow" and Warner Bros.' family film "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" padded their totals. "Journey" added $13.5 million for a total of $76.7 million, while" The Vow" added $10 million more for a cumulative $103 million.
The success of "Act of Valor" validated an unusual strategy for Relativity, a production company that began distributing movies in 2010.
Relativity purchased the film, independently produced by the Bandito Brothers, for $13 million. It stoked interest through more than 400 advance screenings and a robust TV ad campaign that included Super Bowl commercials. Its marketing budget was reportedly approximately $30 million.
Though the film garnered poor reviews, audiences gave it an "A," according to CinemaScore. It has resonated with males, who made up 71 percent of the audience.
Internationally, the film, which plays much as patriotic propaganda, may face a stiffer challenge. It will open in foreign markets in future weeks, distributed by Film Nation.
Davies said the film was a "question mark" going into the weekend because of a lack of comparative films, but added that he's "optimistic" about its global prospects.
"In the same way we just didn't know what was going to happen domestically, it's still a bit of a mystery," said Davies. "You would think because it's very much an American story, there won't be the same level of interest. But I think at the end of the day, if a movie delivers on an entertainment quotient, then that's the most important factor."
Ahead of Sunday night's Academy Awards, no Oscar-contender finished in the top 10. Most of the favorites have been playing for weeks, if not months.
The Weinstein Co.'s "The Artist," the silent film ode and best picture favorite, is the only top award nominee still expanding its market. The film, which had a very slow rollout, added 158 theaters this weekend.
In its 14th week, it earned $3 million to bring its total to $31.9 million.
"Not a lot of people have seen it, so there's a lot of room left for 'The Artist' to add box office," said Dergarabedian. "'The Artist' has a lot to gain from (Sunday's) telecast."
Fox Searchlight's Oscar-nominated "The Descendants," in its 15th week, took in $2.2 million, raising its total to $78.5 million. Paramount's "Hugo" added $1.6 million to bring its haul to $69.4 million.
Disney's "The Help" remained, by far, the most popular best picture nominee at the box office, with a total of $169.7 million.
But on its biggest night, Hollywood can celebrate its strong theatrical business after a sluggish end to 2011 spurred much hand-wringing about the future of movie-going.
"It's fantastic," said David Spitz, head of worldwide distribution of Lionsgate. "It seems like it's cyclical, where everyone starts saying, 'Well, admissions are down.' Then all of sudden, (they're up). ... It certainly bodes well for this year."
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Hollywood.com. Where available, latest international numbers are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. "Act of Valor," $24.7 million.
2. "Tyler Perry's Good Deeds," $16 million.
3. "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island," $13.5 million.
4. "Safe House," $11.4 million.
5. "The Vow," $10 million.
6. "Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance," $8.8 million.
7. "This Means War," $8.5 million.
8. "Wanderlust," $6.6 million.
9. "Gone," $5 million.
10. "The Secret World of Arrietty," $4.5 million.

On a recent edition of the "Million Second Quiz," two very smart contestants gave two very wrong answers to a question that should have been a no-brainer, given their circumstances. How many seconds, they were asked, are there until Christmas?
The question provided a mini-meta moment during a game show where, even with the clock ticking toward the 11-day, 13-hour, 46-minute and 40-second deadline, it sometimes feels as if time is standing still. With each passing second, "MSQ" heads for a potentially dramatic close Thursday, capping a multimedia experiment that's proven, by turns, bold, odd and exciting.
The differing emotions elicited by the show are a product of experiencing it different ways at different times – there's the program's online life, which offers a chance to play along around the clock. There's the ever-present crowd outside the hourglass-shaped set atop a Manhattan roof. There are the "line jumpers" from around the country – online players who get tapped for the TV contest with the ring of a doorbell, recalling an earlier era where Ed McMahon showed up on doorsteps with a big check.
Then there are the nightly episodes hosted by Ryan Seacrest, channeling his "American Idol" flair for drama into another high-stakes TV affair. Seacrest is most ubiquitous tube presence since Regis Philbin, who hosted "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," the last primetime quiz show phenomenon.
Like "Millionaire," contestants on "MSQ" are asked multiple-choice questions that start easy and get harder. "MSQ" tosses in current event queries, which can be deceptively difficult for folks operating under too little sleep - and an excess of pressure that can only be escaped via catnaps in sleeping car-like cubicles. The contestants are subjected to reality-show like conditions, even as they're thrust into an alternate reality, a netherworld between the Internet and TV.
The format isn't perfect – some of the grumbling about the complexity of the rules rings true (even the seemingly simple "power player" feature can be vexing). There's little confusion, though, over the old-fashioned showdown set for Thursday night. The final four on the show's Winners' Row – Andrew, Brandon, Eric and Devin – aren't big names in every household. But that's likely to change for whoever walks away from the "MSQ" Money Chair with millions of dollars (whatever the final total, it's being touted as the largest prize in game show history).
We're now less than nine million seconds until Christmas. We'll see whether the "MSQ" season finale delivers a satisfying present not only to the winner, but to the fans who have given the game show the gift of their time.

The Higher Education Restructuring Act of 1994 established a new structure for coordinating higher education in New Jersey. The structure consists of three principal components:
The student assistance component of higher education is administered by a separate entity, the Office of Student Assistance. The New Jersey Higher Education Assistance Authority and the Student Assistance Board continue to oversee state student assistance programs, with the exception of the Educational Opportunity Fund Program, which is within the Commission on Higher Education.
Within this context, the Commission on Higher Education initiated the development of a long-range plan for New Jersey higher education in consultation with the Presidents' Council.
Recognizing the need for a comprehensive planning process, the Commission appointed a 20-member Steering Committee composed of Commission members (including three from institutional trustee boards), Commission staff, and institutional presidents from all sectors. After significant deliberation regarding critical state needs and the environment in which higher education will operate in the years ahead, the Steering Committee developed a draft vision statement and recommendations for higher education. The draft document was disseminated, and broad public input was invited. Over 100 individuals, some representing organizations, presented public testimony or provided written or oral comments. In addition, small group meetings were held with various constituencies to discuss specific aspects of the document. The testimony and subsequent dialogue were particularly beneficial and guided the further development of the plan for submission to the Presidents' Council and the full Commission for consideration.
After reviewing the document, receiving additional input from the higher education community, and making final revisions, the Commission formally adopted Looking to the New Millennium: New Jersey's Plan for Higher Education in October 1996. With this plan, which will be refined and updated regularly, the new tripartite coordinating structure establishes a shared vision of excellence for the state's higher education system into the 21st century.
Although often referred to as a master plan, New Jersey's Plan for Higher Education does not include highly prescriptive recommendations. Rather, it articulates a vision and characteristics of excellence to inspire future action, coupled with broad policy recommendations to guide institutions and state policy makers in their planning. The plan goes beyond the needs of institutions to focus on ways in which higher education can be more responsive to the needs of students and society. The recommendations recognize the need to establish a correspondence between the state's ambitions for higher education and the resources necessary for their achievement. New Jersey's Plan for Higher Education asserts two imperatives: the state must provide adequate and stable funding so that institutions can live up to their potential in serving students and society, and the state and institutions must make prudent choices to ensure quality with finite resources.
The vision for New Jersey higher education and the related characteristics of an excellent higher education system which follow reflect a set of ideals to guide state policy and institutional decision making into the 21st century. Both the vision and the characteristics derive from societal needs for higher education and assumptions about the future. Realization of the ideals reflected here will require a continuing commitment and intensified effort by the higher education community, as well as support from state policy makers.
New Jersey's system of higher education aspires to be among
the best in the world, embracing excellence, access, and
affordability. The quality of the state's public and
independent colleges and universities will serve as a magnet
to attract both resident and nonresident students and
highly qualified faculty. Institutions will model tolerance
and civility, celebrating the diversity that creates rich
learning environments. A major force in developing the
full potential of New Jersey and its people, higher
education will serve all residents who have the interest and
potential to learn, regardless of their economic
The state's higher education system will develop and nurture the citizens and leaders of the future, preparing individuals for fulfilling lives, rewarding careers, and lifelong learning. Technology will strengthen the system and improve access, efficiency, and program effectiveness into the 21st century and beyond. Through teaching, research, and public service, colleges and universities will support the state's public policy goals of economic growth, social stability, and enhanced quality of life. New Jersey will value and support its investment in higher education, and institutions will seek innovative, collaborative approaches to meet the challenges ahead, committed to serving a globally competitive society.
Characteristics Of An Excellent System Of Higher Education
Any outstanding system of higher education is guided by characteristics of excellence to which the system and member institutions continuously aspire. Such a system:
New Jersey is the ninth most populous state in the nation, with 7.9 million residents in 1995. The urban areas in the northeastern part of the state are the most densely populated, while the population is relatively sparse in the rural counties of the northwest and south.
The state's population is racially and ethnically diverse, with substantial variations in the composition of various regions. Statewide, 13% of the population is African American, 9% is of Hispanic origin, and 7.2% is other races, primarily Asian. Twenty-five percent of the population lives in households where English is not the primary language, reflecting the large immigrant population in New Jersey.
With respect to the state's labor force, distribution among the various industrial sectors is not dramatically different from the national profile. New Jersey has more nondurable manufacturing (such as pharmaceuticals) and less durable manufacturing than the nation as a whole. The state also has more workers in finance, insurance, and real estate. New Jersey has more scientists and engineers per capita than any other state and is an international leader in corporate research and development. Overall, the state has higher- than-average concentrations of workers in executive, administrative, managerial, and administrative support occupations, and a lower-than-average concentration of workers in service occupations (other than private household and protective services).
According to a recent study, New Jerseyans are more likely to enter college by age 19 than their counterparts nationally. However, 38% of undergraduate students, primarily the more affluent and well-prepared, leave New Jersey to attend college in other states, and the proportion of students who enter New Jersey institutions from other states constitutes only 9% of the state's undergraduate population. This long-standing pattern of inmigration and outmigration has not had a negative impact on the educational level of the populace; 30% of New Jerseyans have at least an associate degree and 25% have at least a baccalaureate degree, a higher than average level of postsecondary educational attainment.
Despite the level of postsecondary educational attainment, a recent survey indicates that 1.4 million of the six million adults in the state score at the lowest literacy level, and 23% of the state's residents over age 24 lack a high school diploma or general equivalency diploma. The state's wide diversity in educational levels is reflected, as it is nationally, in a growing income gap between the rich and poor. Income levels and educational attainment in New Jersey are closely linked, and they vary substantially by county, with the lowest levels of income and education concentrated in the rural and urban areas of the state.
New Jersey produces fewer degrees relative to population size than other states and the national average. This is partly due to the relatively small size of New Jersey's higher education system (in terms of both the number of students and faculty, and the number of institutions), and partly due to the state's high outmigration rate and low rate of inmigration.
New Jersey's higher education system consists of 56 institutions, including 19 community colleges; eight state colleges and one university; three public research universities; and independent institutions, including 14 four-year colleges and universities with a public mission, three degree-granting proprietary schools, and eight theological institutions. In fiscal year 1996, the annual state budget for higher education totaled $1.4 billion. However, because of competing demands for limited state resources in New Jersey and across the nation over the past seven years, funding for higher education has not kept pace with rising costs.
In fall 1995, New Jersey higher education institutions enrolled a total of 333,000 credit-seeking students, of whom 284,000 were undergraduate students and 49,000 were graduate students. Approximately 9,400 full-time faculty teach at the state's colleges and universities, assisted by a large number of adjuncts, part-time faculty, and teaching assistants.
New Jersey's system of higher education is a valuable resource that helps the state to achieve social and economic goals and enhance the quality of life for New Jersey citizens. It is therefore essential to link statewide policy goals with an innovative, effective system of colleges and universities.
The primary objective of the plan for higher education is to promote excellence, access, and affordability in the most cost-efficient ways possible. The institutions collectively must meet the varying needs of a diverse citizenry for undergraduate education and workforce training, prepare graduate and professional students for leadership in their chosen careers, address critical needs through public service, and extend the frontiers of knowledge through research, sharing the fruits of discoveries to the benefit of society. To achieve the necessary balance of services, there must be adequate support for institutions of various types -- community colleges, independent colleges and universities, public four-year colleges and universities, and research universities. Without clearly established institutional roles, available resources for the system may be spread too thin, and the resources necessary to ensure excellence will be diluted.
The degree to which an institution fulfills its mission and meets its objectives is a measure of excellence. Therefore, it is essential that each institution establish a distinctive mission and focus its resources selectively on achieving that mission. The strategies necessary to achieve objectives can be discerned best by each institution when its governing board is clear about which programs are essential to the institution's mission, what it costs to support each program, and the prospective sources of the necessary funds.
The state and its higher education system will face many challenges in the next decade. Fiscal constraints and pressure on colleges and universities to be more cost- effective will persist, as will the demands of the marketplace. In order to thrive, institutions will have to respond to societal and economic needs more effectively and efficiently than ever. While rigorous institutional reexamination and reorganization are essential, they are no more essential than the need for a commitment on the part of the state to provide resources sufficient to support an excellent system of higher education.
The following recommendations provide a set of broad policy guidelines based on assumptions about the future, societal needs, and the vision for higher education. As such, the plan differs from past detailed operating plans and is more strategic, pointing out specific areas that must be addressed and establishing a framework to address them. The recommendations are organized in two sections -- recommendations for higher education related to critical state issues and essential conditions for achieving the vision for higher education.
A periodic review of the implementation of the recommendations will track progress and allow for further development and refinement as needed. Some of the recommendations will be addressed initially by the Commission, the Presidents' Council, special committees, and other entities. Some may lead to legislation or require allocation of resources by the Governor and Legislature. Ultimately, however, the strategic implementation of many of the recommendations rests with boards of trustees and members of each college or university community. The plan, therefore, is a beginning. It sets the direction and the focus to achieve the vision set forth for higher education.

Writing a student review is a great way of letting others know what it is really like studying a course or what an institution is really like.
Sometimes, the course description, website or prospectus doesn't give future students everything they would like to know before joining a course.
So this is a chance for you to tell other people thinking of doing your course or studying where you studied exactly what it's like before they sign up.

Vets of '83 Beirut Bombing View Current Ops With Pride, Resolve
By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, July 21, 2006 - Watching TV coverage of Marines from their former unit helping Americans leave Beirut churns up a host of emotions for former Marines who served there when a barracks was bombed in October 1983.
Randy Gaddo was a Marine staff sergeant with the 24th Marine Amphibious Unit serving in Lebanon when a terrorist attack in the early morning hours of Oct. 23, 1983, claimed the lives of 241 U.S. Marines, sailors and soldiers. Hundreds more were wounded or disabled when a truck laden with the equivalent of 20,000 pounds of TNT detonated on the ground floor of the 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment, Battalion Landing Team barracks.
Four days after the attack, then-U.S. President Ronald Reagan praised the fallen troops for their sacrifice in helping bring a better future to the people of Lebanon. "We cannot and will not dishonor them ... and the sacrifices they've made by failing to remain as faithful to the cause of freedom and the pursuit of peace as they have been," Reagan said in a broadcast to the American people.
Yesterday, Gaddo and his former boss in Beirut, retired Maj. Bob Jordan, juggled their emotions as they watched televised images of Marines and sailors making good on that promise. Marines returned to Beirut this week for the first time in more than 20 years to help U.S. citizens caught in the crossfire between Hezbollah terrorists and Israeli air and artillery forces.
Marines from the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit -- the new name for Gaddo's and Jordan's former unit -- ferried some 1,200 Americans from a Beirut beach to the USS Nashville yesterday.
Gaddo said he felt immensely proud watching the Marines carry out their mission. "They're going in there to bring people out and following on what we established there," he said from his Peachtree City, Ga., home. "It makes you feel pretty proud."
"We're in awe," Jordan said of the Marines. "These young men and women are so professional, so well-trained and so well-equipped. ... Their motivation is so high."
Jordan said he's particularly proud that Marines from 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment -- the first and last unit he served with during a career that spanned almost 30 years -- are conducting the mission.
But Gaddo acknowledged that he's also concerned about the Marines' well-being. "Those of us who were there can picture exactly what the Marines are seeing," he said.
He remembers all too clearly the events of a beautiful Sunday morning 23 years ago when a terrorist truck bomb exploded in his barracks building.
Gaddo, 31 at the time, was a photojournalist from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, S.C., attached to the 24th MEU for the peacekeeping mission in Beirut. He had awakened early to process some film in a makeshift photo lab he'd set up on the third floor of the barracks building. After that, Gaddo had planned to join other Marines in laying plastic sheets and sandbags over a bunker to prepare it for the upcoming rainy season.
But before tackling the day's work, Gaddo headed to the command operations center in a tent about 250 yards away from the barracks to grab a quick cup of coffee. He figures it was that decision that ultimately saved his life. "Another three minutes and I would have been in the (barracks) building," he said.
>From the command tent, Gaddo heard M-16 rifle fire, then a blast that threw him back 6 feet from where he was standing. "It was an amazing concussion," he said. "It was like somebody hit me with a two-by-four. I could feel my face being pushed back as the shock wave approached."
Dazed, Gaddo looked over the two- or three-story building that stood between him and the barracks building and saw a big mushroom cloud rising from the area. The leaves had been blown off all the trees. Gaddo realized that he could see the air traffic control tower of Beirut International Airport -- a landmark the barracks building should have blocked from his vantage point.
Suddenly the realization sunk in: the barracks had been hit. "What had normally been a four-story building was down to a story and a half of rubble," he recalled. "The dust was all still rising and it started to all become clear."
Gaddo and his fellow Marines sprung into action, grabbing cots and litters and running toward the building to search for survivors. They dodged incoming sniper fire and worked amid the fires throughout the area, some sparked by exploding ammunition that had been in the barracks building.
"There was a lot of chaos. We were all in shock," he said.
The rescuers struggled to get a grip on their emotions: anger at their attackers, sadness for those lost, and for some, guilt that their lives had been spared when others' had not.
"You go through a whole range of emotions," Gaddo said. "We lost a lot of Marines that day."
Gaddo, Jordan and fellow veterans continue to remember those Marines through the Beirut Veterans of America, a group dedicated to ensuring that servicemembers killed in Beirut aren't forgotten.
As founding vice president of the group, Gaddo is busy planning the "23rd Remembrance" event Oct. 21 to 23 in Jacksonville, N.C., home of the Beirut Memorial. The memorial includes a wall with the names of all those willed during the peacekeeping mission in Lebanon from 1982 to 1984.
The event will include a candlelight vigil at 6 a.m. on Oct. 23, when all the names on the wall will be read aloud. "Reading their names aloud ensures that these men are remembered for their courage and their sacrifice," said Jordan, the group's founding president.
Jordan expressed hope that Americans will remember not just those lost, but also the lessons of Oct. 23, 1983. "We were being tested, and we failed the test," he said of the U.S. response to the attack.
Jordan calls the attack on the Marine barracks "the first skirmish in ... the battle against terror" and said it's critical that the United States not falter in its war on terror.
The United States must work with Muslims to counter the threat Islamic extremists present, he said. "We need to understand that these people believe in what they are doing" and won't stop until they re-establish an extremist state under a supreme Islamic ruler, he said of the terrorists.
"We need to understand that they are willing to die for it and willing to kill us to achieve it," he said.
