One of my earliest memories is my family coming down to Boston College to watch a football game. I still have the small BC football that my dad and I played catch with that day. I remember drinking extra hot chocolate for relief on that chilly day in Autumn and cheering with the crowd when the Eagles scored. Little did I know at the time that I would grow up to be an avid fan of professional football and even play the sport myself throughout middle school and high school. Now, when considering a subculture to learn more about here on campus, the football team is the first thing that comes to mind.

They patted on each other’s shoulders and called nicknames, sharing the same bottle of water and chatting about everything, from the homework assignments to the crazy party last night. Kyle laughed at John’s silly new hat and John mocked Kyle for his bad throw in the game. They were like little kids making fun of each other until Andrew, the captain, stopped them just like a parent in the family and said he had something to announce.

Getty Images When I walked in the front door of the mayor’s office, I had noticed a mud-spattered white Yukon parked outside. As I was driving to my next interview, I looked in the rearview mirror and noticed the white Yukon again. I drove aimlessly, crisscrossing streets from one end of town to the other. Everywhere I turned, the white Yukon appeared. I was being followed. When I turned the tables and followed the car back, it raced off. We played cat and mouse like that for more than an hour until I finally got a good glimpse of the driver: It was a middle-aged woman with curly, red hair who had a cell phone stuck to her left ear. The cat-and-mouse game started to feel a little dangerous, so I left town for a couple hours. On my way back into Sibley, the same car passed me on the highway. This time, the chubby man from the Lantern was driving. He smiled and waved.

Dietz (1998) examined the depictions of women in a sample of the best-selling video games in 1995 and created a coding schema for describing the different ways women were depicted in the game. Of the games she examined, 41% had no women at all (playable or non-playable) and 28% of the games had sexualized representations of women. Of women present in the games, the most popular depiction of them was of the “damsel in distress” trope seen commonly in television and cinema. Women were also rendered in a curvaceous way, with particular attention on the shape of the body and hips as well as the form of the breasts. Dietz summarizes her research by observing that children and teenagers may inter-nalize these representations into their own understanding of gender.

some gamers bemoan the fact that there are any un-sexualized female characters in gaming at all on Reddit threads or in YouTube videos

“Sexiness is often used in gaming as an excuse for men to play and enjoy playing a female character,”

depicted in tight pants and midriff-baring tops, and people asserted that this meant the focus was not on her strength, but on her sexuality.

George Catlin, born in 1796, demonstrated a life-long interest in the American Indian, as a painter, explorer, and author. His efforts on behalf of the Plains Indians arose from a concern that "the tribes of red men of North America, as a nation of human beings, are on their wane; that 'they are fast travelling to the shades of their fathers, toward the setting sun;' and that the traveler who would . . . see these people in their native simplicity and beauty, needs be hastily on his way to the prairies or Rocky Mountains, or he will . . . see them only as they are now seen on the frontiers, as a basket of dead game, — harassed, chased, bleeding and dead; with their plumage and colors despoiled."

Wentworth Recap This past Saturday, the mens rugby team played their final game of the fall season in a matchup with Wentworth, a team that the Skyhawks had already played previously in their season. In their last engagement, Wentworth outplayed the Skyhawks, beating them by 30. This time around, the Skyhawks weren’t so easily defeated, throttling Wentworth 47-29. With the season coming to an end, Stonehill played a more relaxed style of play, not forcing the ball down the field, but instead playing newer players to get them more experience. Many players who generally didn’t get too much playing time played for the majority of the game, proving that the younger and less experienced players on the Skyhawks can still get the job done. Going into halftime, Stonehill was trailing Wentworth by just a few points, but their season wasn’t going to end on a loss. When asked about the atmosphere in the halftime huddle, freshman Anthony Poente said “At halftime we were down, but we didn’t give up. We pretty much said that we weren’t ending our season this way and went out there to finish on a good note.” They did just that, coming out and outplaying Wentworth on both sides of the field.

"The gaming that I see is where people are blocking generic entry by restricting access to the doses," Gottlieb said Tuesday. "It's a pervasive problem."

companies game the system by taking advantage of certain rules and laws," FDA Commissioner

"One of the barriers to competition that concerns me the most is when companies game the system by taking advantage of certain rules and laws," FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb said in early May. "They exploit loopholes in our system to delay generic entry. In these ways, they extend a drug's monopoly beyond what Congress intended."

Celgene's multipronged strategy of reducing its dependence on Revlimid by launching new hematology drugs is a smart one. However, the company also has other ways of replacing revenue that will be lost after generic rivals begin taking away market share from Revlimid.

Celgene will defend its patents against all potential generic rivals "until conditions are acceptable to settle." He insisted that the biotech won't give up even one month of continued revenue from Revlimid if it doesn't have to do so.

be broken-Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played streak. Gehrig played in 2,130 consecutive games for the New York Yankees before being forced to quit because of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)-now known as "Lou Gehrig's Disease." Ripken tied the record on September 5 and broke it on September 6. When the September 6 game became official-after the top of the fifth inning was complete-the Baltimore crowd gave Ripken a standing ovation that stopped the game for twenty-two minutes. Eventually, Ripken took a jog around the entire field slapping outstretched hands and waving to the crowd. The day before, in the game in which he tied Gehrig's record, Ripken hit a home run ball that was caught by Michael Stirn. Stirn sold the ball to an unnamed businessman three months later for $41 , 736. The businessman attempted to sell the ball to Walmart for $1 million, a figure he deemed reasonable because of the price a buyer paid for the ball Eddie Murray hit for his 500th home run ($500,000).120 Walmart declined to purchase the ball, but the asking price (and the selling price of Murray's home run ball) is indicative of the value many place on such an important relic of the game. Many such relics find their way to the Hall of Fame and are displayed for visitors to view and revere. In addition to its "holy" relics, the game of baseball also has sacred space. Certain stadia are revered because of their longevity or because of events that have taken place there. Wrigley Field, the home field of the Chicago Cubs, is widely regarded in its entirety as sacred space by baseball fans of all teams. (See Fig. 2.2) Sometimes parts of stadia are intentionally set apart as shrines to commemo-rate players or teams. There is the well-known Monument Park in Yankee Stadium that honors great Yankees players of the past. When the Yankees moved into the Fig. 2.2 Exterior of Wrigley Field opening night 2015. 36 Understanding Sport as a Religious Phenomenon new Yankee Stadium in 2009, they moved Monument Park to the new stadium. When the Atlanta Braves moved from Fulton County Stadium to Ted Turner Field in 1997, Fulton County Stadium was demolished except for the section of fence over which Hank Aaron hit his 715th career home run surpassing Babe Ruth and becoming Major League Baseball's "Home Run King." That section of fence (along with a commemorative plaque) serves as a shrine to honor Hank Aaron. It is, indeed, sacred space. Like most sports arenas, the field area is off-limits to fans who must remain in the stands. Any fan who enters the field area without permission violates a taboo and is usually arrested by security personnel and removed from the stadium completely. Baseball's field is unique, however. Price argues that the pitcher's mound represents the cosmic mountain that serves as the center of the baseball cosmos.121 It is where play begins, which is consistent with the idea that the center of the universe repre-sents the birth of the universe, or the navel. Price sees this navel-ompha/os in the Greek-as the "rubber" that sits on top of the cosmic mountain: The pitcher's rubber is located at the top of the pitcher's mound, a twelve-inch-high rise that provides the only topical elevation in the field. Rising above the contour of the field, the pitcher's mound corresponds to the cosmic mountains of old and its stature as such is reinforced by the presence of the rubber at its crest. In the world or cosmos of baseball, the omphalos is located at the top of the cosmic mountain. As the mythical center of the field, the pitcher's mound is the point at which creation of the game begins. The pitcher, who starts play by throwing the ball to the batter, must stand on top of the pitcher's mound and must keep his foot on the rubber until he has released the ball. There is, then, an umbilical connection between the creative activity of the pitcher (as a high priest) and the omphalos itself.122 There are many more examples of how the space of a baseball stadium may be seen as sacred including the monuments-statues, commemorative plaques, and larger-than-life pictures of important moments in a team's history-that are erected to honor heroes (saints) and heroic moments of the team.

These are all material objects that are a part of the game of baseball and a part of the experience of the fans, especially those fans who attend the games in person.

First Day of Practice: Do’s and Dont’s Today was Stonehill Basketball’s first day of practice and I was able to pick up on some things that may be helpful to some people interested in playing college basketball. Here are some Do’s and Dont’s of practice. Use these tips in your seasons because all practices are ran basically the same, but the only difference is the intensity at different levels of competition. Do’s and Dont’s  Do play hard as soon as practice starts Do not wait for the middle to get things going Talk loud and be intense as long as possible Do make mistakes Do not practice to stay the same, always work to become better. Understand that practice is where mistakes are meant to be made. Do Compete against your teammates. That is the only way to get better Do not take it personally when a teammate begins to get very competitive. Nothing is better than hard competition to prepare a team for games. Do ask questions Do not wait until the middle of the game to being asking questions that should have previously been asked It is true that many times when you ask a question someone else was also wanting to ask the same question. Do work on new moves Do not wait until the game to tryout new moves because they may not work The more you mess up in practice the less you will mess up in the games Do try to impress Do not assume that you need to stay complacent in practice Whenever you have the chance try to move up the ladder in terms of your position on the team. Practice is the time where you show the coaches what you can do.

This post I want to take the time to interview another freshman player, Adam Freese, and ask him questions about what it means to him to play for Stonehill, and what being a college athlete takes. SJ: What keeps you going everyday even though each practice is hard, and intense? AF: “Wanting to get better, and my determination to get better. I also like to take on challenges head on.” SJ: How do you prepare for a game or scrimmage? Any pregame rituals? AF: “I need to get a good nights sleep, and I eat a nice meal, and I make sure that I keep my head focused on the game and the task ahead of me. I avoid all distractions throughout the day.” SJ: How do you prepare yourself for a season in general? How are your offseason workouts? AF: “I understand that the season is going to be long and rough, but I always mentally prepare myself for it first. I understand that adversity is going to hit, and I find ways to overcome adversity on an everyday basis. I also know that the work that I put in during the offseason will pay off during the regular season. So, by giving my offseason workouts everything that I have I know that the effort I put in will pay off during my regular season.” SJ: What is your favorite part about being a college athlete? More specifically a Stonehill Skyhawk? AF: “Simply put, living out the reality of playing sports, and going to school for free is one of the most rewarding feelings in the world. At Stonehill we take sports seriously, and the love for competition excites me at Stonehill, and that is why I love being a Stonehill Skyhawk. SJ: What are the big differences that you have noticed between high school basketball, and college basketball? AF: “College basketball is a much more intense, and fast paced game than high – school basketball. College basketball is also much more time – consuming as well. SJ: How do you recover, after a game or practice? AF: Icing is critical for me whether it is before or after any main event. I always take precautionary measures after any practice as well.

From my experience many college coaches are very similar in terms of what they are looking for from their players. I want to discuss this post, what exactly my coach says during practice, and the things that he stresses that I feel every player should know about. Play Hard Pay close attention to detail Play within your own limits (Do not do to much)   Play Hard: Many coaches stress the importance of working because there are mistakes that are made throughout the game that can be made up by simply giving effort. If you miss an assignment, and get beat off the dribble it is expected that you give it your all and recover to stop your man. By not showing any effort your assignment will simply score, and make you look bad. My target audience for this assignment is mainly people who are looking to try and play college basketball or simply improve upon their game. The one thing that people do not take into account is that there are hundreds of people who are talented, but playing hard will take the most talented players to the next level. Pay Smart: Even though I previously stressed how important working hard is once in college that just simply is not enough at this level. Over the course of one practice the team is responsible for learning a handful of defensive principles, and different offensive sets. If you were not paying attention to practice, then the next day when you do not know a set, or mess up a defensive assignment coaches will get on you about it. Every player can play hard, but the ones’s that get the most minutes are able to play hard while also executing the scout perfectly. One quote that our coach has bought to our attention recently is a quote by Brad Stevens that says: “When considering the consequences of not doing the little things, you realize there are no little things.” If a coach gives you a small task, or a small pointer many people do not take these seriously enough and it will show in games. Take these things seriously, and take pride in doing the little things then you will notice that you will be ahead of your teammates. Play Within your Limits: In high school many people are able to get away with trying new moves, or shooting bad shots that they think may work well in a game. In college this kind of play quickly gets shut down because nine times out of ten when a player tries to do too much it will not work out well. If you are a player who hits a lot of shots, then don’t try and all of a sudden start playing in the post. If you are a player that works well inside do not try shooting threes, and contested two. Do what you do best, and you will thrive as a college player. Coaches need people who understand what they can bring to the table, and will consistently bring that everyday. Making your coach happy means that you are doing something right. So try your best to please your coach whenever possible.

Stretch Stretching will not only prevent injuries, but it is the easiest way to prolong one’s career. Many people I know in their late 30’s believe that if they took more time to stretch while they were younger they would still be playing. Stretch and Roll out: Hamstrings Quads Calves IT Bands Upper body Lift Lifting is a great to prevent injuries if done right. Strengthening core, lower body, and upper body are essential for a player who wants to stay on top of their game. Below are a few lifts for people who do not know where to start. Ice, and Recovery At any time possible try to hop in an ice bath, or see the school trainer for some extra treatment.   Lower Body: Back Squat – 5 x 3 Strap Raw – 10 1/2 Pallof Hold – 20 seconds Goblet Split Squat – 8 Partner Glute/ Ham Drop Down – 3 1/2 Banded Chop – 6 Upper Body: Bench – 5 x 3 SL OB Glute Bridge – 8e Birddogs – 5e Alt.

Control of Life: • Rich believe they are in control of their lives. • Poor feel they are subject to vagaries of life and life controls events taking place in their lives. • Money: • Investing in schemes to make more money is like a game for rich. • The poor are all the time terrified of investing in the stock market with the result that more often than not, they lose money. • It is apparent to all that the poor are playing not to lose money while the rich are playing to win more. • Opportunities and Obstacles: • Rich people see the opportunities while poor see the obstacles first. • Poor keep thinking how they will overcome these obstacles whereas rich keep their focus on opportunities as they have the resources to overcome obstacles easily. • Dreaming: • Rich dream big and, therefore, strike rich. • Poor dream small with the result that they have to remain content with whatever they get. • Doers and Dreamers: • Rich are doers; they take concrete steps to fulfill their dreams. • Poor just dream about their dreams. • Company: • The company of rich people includes rich and successful. • Poor people have the company of unsuccessful and daydreamers. • This difference in company proves vital in deciding the future of the rich and the poor.

In summary then, IVANHOE can be used in a variety of ways as a competitive, game-like environment, as a collaborative study and research situation, or as a context in which players strive to achieve their own individual goals. In a classroom setting, IVANHOE could encourage students to improve bibliographical and research skills in one round and critical-reading skills in the next. Individual students could decide which of several interpretive skills they wish to improve in a round of play, or they could consult with a teacher to set these goals. For more mature players, various competitive or collaborative situations might be imagined to promote specific types of critical reflection and scholarly research. IVANHOE can be played in a game mode with points, scoring, and competitive interactions. It can also be used for non-competitive collaborative work within a community of scholars or in classroom activities.

Introduction to the Blog… For this blog, I will be covering and blogging the topic of Stonehill Boys Rugby. In the world of modern American sports, rugby, which is extremely popular worldwide, is often overlooked and overshadowed by its more popular counterpart, football. My goal for this semester is to not only popularize Stonehill rugby, but to popularize the sport in general. I hope to expose people to the sport and help readers understand it better. This blog will start off with the basic rules and overview of the Stonehill rugby team, but after that every post will be about the team’s most recent game or looking ahead in the season. The big news this year is that the team is good and looking to make a playoff push. Personally, I look forward to the playoffs especially since everyone is so much more invested rather than a regular season game. At the end of each post, I’m looking to discuss happenings in international rugby and cover some scores there, but not enough as to overshadow the Stonehill team.

Anthony Poente

For this post, I sat down with a friend of mine, Anthony Poente, to ask him some questions about his rugby experience, his adjustment to the rugby world, and his overall thoughts of the rugby season. Q: When did you get into rugby? A: This year, I had played football throughout my life so I thought since the two sports are similar I would give it a shot. Q: Why did you get into rugby? A: My cousin came to Stonehill and he played rugby and loved it, so I thought that I would give it a try. Like I said before, I had played football and loved it and since its a varsity only sport here I thought I would try and do the closest thing to it. Q: Since you had played football before, were you surprised at the differences between the two sports? A: Yes, theres a lot more fundamental things that are incorporated into both sports, like tackling, picking up the ball, and the pace of the game is a lot faster. Without a knowledge of the rules, it is much harder to play rugby than one would expect. When playing football, it is a much easier sport to pick up rather than rugby Q: How much did football help you with rugby? A: The way I look at it, football prepared me mentally, like to know what to expect when you are getting hit or going for a tackle. But everything else in rugby I learned from practicing and watching the game. It has many more aspects than you would expect out of a game that seems so similar. Q: For the spring sevens season, how do you think Stonehill will do against the competition? A: I have high hopes for our team. We’ve been practicing pretty hard this year and I think that if the sevens carry that same mentality over they will have a successful season.

I am a grad student. I sought help for my mental illness last year. I go to one of those 'top 10' universities in the US. Grad life is hard, I do not have a lot of support from my family, and I am socially awkward. As far as coursework and work was concerned, I was struggling to organize my work and time. I used to be a huge fan of services like Trello, RescueTime, Evernote, all those technologies out there for managing and organizing. I used notepad or MS Word for documentation and writing reports. I wrote code in Visual Studio and Anaconda's Spyder (no offense to Anaconda). That's what my friends were doing, but I guess it was not enough for me, because I tend to get very nervous when there is a lot of work, and the smallest things can push me off the edge. I need everything to be organized and neat. I discovered Emacs in May 2018. I was in a terrible place then. I thought I was never going to recover. I was just trying out different text editors to optimize my workflow when I found Emacs. The first thing that completely amazed me was org-mode: agenda, the tree structure, org-babel, everything! Then I started writing all my code in Emacs, for all my coursework and work in machine learning, game development, etc. I learned how to store links to particular lines in huge code files, so that I can access them quickly, and continue work where I had left off. I also journal, I have been journaling for 4 years, that is how I deal with my problems. I have tried many software packages for journaling, and none of them come close to what I can do in Emacs. Now I can also write lisp scripts for doing simple routine processes that would make my workflow much simpler, so that I don't have to worry about small details and concentrate on more important things. I have recovered significantly from my depression. I still feel terrible, but I can handle things with more ease because Emacs reduces a lot of unnecessary cognitive load. I wonder what I would have been if I had decided not to explore Emacs. It's true what they say, any text editor can save your files, only Emacs can save your soul.

Like their historic predecessors, students explore the wilds ofSkyrimin search of features and landscapes that aligned with the aesthetics of romantic nationalism. “Video games do not give you the answers up front.

Traditional Marxism finds it impossible to imagine the self-abolition of the proletarian class because it treats labor as a category outside of history, rather than one produced by capitalism itself. By making labor into a category of capitalism, Postone does not mean to make the nonsensical claim that previous societies have never involved labor, but rather that these societies did not conceive of what we call labor as labor, as expressions of an undifferentiated productive capacity. This conception only arises with the general commodification of human activity, once work becomes something bought and sold on the open market. Peasants did not conceive of their work in the fields as fundamentally separate from work in the kitchen garden, from work fixing their domicile, taking care of children, or hunting game. Nor was the line between these activities and play or diversion so firmly drawn. Postone, therefore, attempts to denaturalize and estrange labor in much the same way that LeGuin denaturalizes prison in the passage described previously. Why is it that spending time with a child in one context might be something you do for fun, in another a familial obligation, and in yet another paid work? What would it mean to live in a society in which nothing people did took the form of labor, but merely appeared as a spectrum of voluntary activity, some of it pleasant, some of it tedious, but none of it a job?

Perhaps part of the confusion - and you say this in a different way in your little memo - is that the C/C++ folks see OO as a liberation from a world that has nothing resembling a first-class functions, while Lisp folks see OO as a prison since it limits their use of functions/objects to the style of (9.). In that case, the only way OO can be defended is in the same manner as any other game or discipline -- by arguing that by giving something up (e.g. the freedom to throw eggs at your neighbor's house) you gain something that you want (assurance that your neighbor won't put you in jail).

But Mike feels that organized team sports fail to teach the critical life skills that he and his friends learned in pickup games they had to referee themselves. They were forced to resolve their own disputes, because if they didn’t, the game would end. Their focus was not on winning and losing, as when adults are in charge, he says, but simply on keeping the game going.

Game Accessibility In 2018 Ian Hamilton

From a learning perspective, what is important about video games is not interactivity per se, but thefact that in many games players come to feel a sense of agency or ownership.. . . In good games, playersfeel that their actions and decisions—and not just the designers’ actions and decisions—cocreate theworld they are in and shape the experiences they are having. Their choices matter. What they do matters.

A game without players is nothing more than a ruleset

The end game of a surveillance society, from the perspective of those being watched, is to be subjected to whims of black-boxed code extended to the navigation of spaces, which are systematically stripped of important social and cultural clues.

“Because I always try so hard to win and had my troubles in Boston, I was suspended. At playoff time, it hurts not to be in the game with the boys. However, I want to do what is good for the people of Montreal and the team. So that no further harm will be done, I would like to ask everyone to get behind the team and to help the boys win from the Rangers and Detroit. I will take my punishment and come back next year to help the club and younger players to win the Cup.”

“What did Campbell do when Jean Béliveau was deliberately injured twice by players from Chicago and New York? No penalty, no fine, no suspension. Did he suspend Gordie Howe of Detroit when he almost knocked out Dollard St. Laurent’s eye two years ago? No!” Richard called the decision against Geoffrion a “farce” and wrote that the “dictator” should “not try to create publicity at the expense of a good fellow like ‘Boom Boom’ Geoffrion just because he is a French-Canadian.”

“When I’m hit, I get mad and I don’t know what I do,” he confided in one writer. “Before each game, I think about my temper and how I should control it, but as soon as I get on the ice I forget all that.”

The assessment literature suggests that confidence-weighted multiple-choice testing may improve validity without comprising reliability because it enables the measurement of partial knowledge (Hambleton, Roberts, & Traub, 1970). Correspondingly, recent research examining how confidence-weighted multiple-choice testing affects performance on a subsequent test suggests that the cognitive processes engaged in evaluating each alternative can be beneficial to learning (Sparck, Bjork, & Bjork, 2016).
