HEROES (Claire and her Dad conversation) [INT. BENNET RESIDENCE – KITCHEN – DAY] (Claire is reading the newspaper.) CLAIRE: Dad ... (Mr. Bennet is standing in front of the stove cooking breakfast.) CLAIRE: ... you mind if I talk to you about something? CAPTION: CLAIRE BENNET ODESSA, TEXAS (He puts the spatula down and picks up the pitcher of orange juice. He grabs a glass.) MR. BENNET: You pregnant? CLAIRE: What? No. (He pours a glass of orange juice.) MR. BENNET: You doing drugs? CLAIRE: Dad! (He puts the glass and the pitcher down on the counter and heads back to the stove.) MR. BENNET: Actually ... I already know what it's about. CLAIRE: You do? MR. BENNET: It's about wanting to know who you really are. Your mother told me that you've been asking about your birth parents. CLAIRE: Well, I think it's time that I knew. MR. BENNET: Well, I have a few questions first. Not the least of which is why now? CLAIRE: I'm just wondering, that's all. You know, what they're like, what they can do. MR. BENNET: What they can do? CLAIRE: Yeah, like hobbies and ... skills. (He picks up the frying pan and walks back to the counter where he fills Claire’s plate.) MR. BENNET: You know, I don't ... mean this to be condescending. Even though you're gonna say I'm being condescending. But I really do believe that this is an adult decision. CLAIRE: You're right. That is condescending. MR. BENNET: Claire, there are gonna be issues. You're going to have issues. They're going to have issues. It's very complex, emotionally. CLAIRE: Yeah, well, so am I. MR. BENNET: Well, exactly. (He offers her the breakfast plate. She takes it from him.) MR. BENNET: Look, here's my advice, if you'll indulge me. Just ... keep things light and fun as long as you can. Like cheerleading. CLAIRE: Being a cheerleader is hard work. Hard, treacherous work. MR. BENNET: Of course it is, sweetheart. CLAIRE: I don't wanna be late. MR. BENNET: Hey ... (He kisses her cheek.) I just don't want you to be in such a hurry to grow up, okay? Trust me. I actually know a few things. (Claire doesn’t say anything. She turns and leaves. We hold on Mr. Bennet. After a moment, he turns and looks at the newspaper on the counter.) CUT TO: .

Alison Armstrong Re-Envisaging Erikson: Deconstructing Adoption Through the Case of Claire ABSTRACT This theoretical study explored the social construction of adoption present within North American discourse and how this has impacted subsequent theoretical understandings of adoptee development. This was done with a particular emphasis on Eriksonian theories of adoptee development. This study utilized a cultural artifact, namely the character of Claire in Tim Kring’s (2006) television show, Heroes. Claire’s case is then used to compare current uses of Eriksonian theories of psychosocial ego development with possible, more comprehensive iterations of Erikson’s theory. The impact and relevance to social work theory, research and practice are discussed.

Ted Sprague was a resident of Los Angeles, CA. He was the son of Mindy Sprague and the husband of Karen Sprague. He was an evolved human who had the ability to emit radiation from his body. He was killed by Sylar. Matt and Audrey are investigating the murder of Robert Fresco, an oncologist at UCLA. His body was found burned to a char and emitting 1,800 curies of radiation. A fingerprint found seared into the man's bone is matched using the FBI's CODIS system to Theodore Sprague. Ted Sprague has the ability of radiation. He was mistaken as Sylar a several times.

The Multiplatform Brand Flows of Heroes
Selling Across the Spectrum: The Multiplatform Brand Flows of Heroes ERIN GIANNINI, independent scholar ABSTRACT This article examines how the NBC show Heroes and its use of product placement across multiple platforms represented an early response by networks and advertisers to concerns over ad-skipping and alternate viewing platforms by attempting to reconfigure how brand flow operates across multiple platforms. Not only did the series employ ‘second shift aesthetics’ (Caldwell 2003, 135), which represents networks bringing viewer-users back to the programme by ‘further engag[ing] and activat[ing] the text’ (Caldwell 2004, 50), but the products integrated within the text are pulled into the available world of Heroes’ alternative platform’s textual world, particularly Nissan branded cars. As Henry Jenkins writes: ‘Old media are not being displaced. Rather, their framework and structure shifted by the introduction of new technology’ (2006, 3-4). How these products are used within Heroes storylines and its interaction with characters and platform goes beyond simple placement to make the product another character within the show. Further, I examine the way in which Heroes, as a transmedia text, provided many points of entry for viewer-users to interact with it. While an analysis of fan activity is not the focus of this article, it is important to note these possibilities because of the ways in which the promotional apparatus of the network utilized these types of convergences for the series. Yet, in the case of Heroes, this was achieved by suturing new technological abilities of brand extension with an older model of ad- supported television (namely, the single-sponsorship model of early American television), both within the terrestrial television series and across multiple platforms.

Balanced Metrics on Twisted Higgs Bundles 3
BALANCED METRICS ON TWISTED HIGGS BUNDLES MARIO GARCIA-FERNANDEZ AND JULIUS ROSS “My name is Claire Bennet and that was attempt number...I guess I’ve lost count.” Claire Bennet, Heroes Contents 1. Introduction 1 2. Balanced metrics 5 3. Geometric Invariant Theory 8 4. Stability and the Existence of a Balanced Metric 14 5. Asymptotics of the Balanced Condition 17 6. Limits of balanced metrics 24 7. Generalizations 26 Appendix A. Weakly Geometric Metrics 28 References 30 1. Introduction By a twisted Higgs bundle on a Kähler manifold X we shall mean a pair (E, φ) consisting of a holomorphic vector bundle E and a holomorphic bundle morphism φ: M ⊗ E → E for some holomorphic vector bundle M. Such objects were first considered by Hitchin [21] when X is a curve and M is the tangent bundle of X, and also by Simpson [37] for higher dimensional base. For a choice of positive real constant c, there is a Hitchin-Kobayashi correspondence [2, 8, 21, 36] for such pairs, generalizing the Donaldson–Uhlenbeck–Yau Theorem [10, 39] for vector bundles. This result states that (E, φ) is polystable if and only if E admits a hermitian metric h solving the Hitchin equation ∗ iΛFh + c[φ, φ ]= λ Id, (1.1) where Fh denotes the curvature of the Chern connection of the hermitian metric, arXiv:1401.7108v2 [math.DG] 30 Jan 2014 [φ, φ∗] = φφ∗ − φ∗φ with φ∗ denoting the adjoint of φ taken fibrewise and λ is a topological constant. The aforementioned correspondence is a powerful tool to decide whether there exists a solution of (1.1), but it provides little information as to the actual solution h.

This journal was produced on unceded Mi’kmaq territory. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) people first signed with the British Crown in 1725. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations. NOTE FROM THE EDITORS The editorial team at Fathom has been the largest in many years, and with this wonderful, talented group, we have been able to work towards creating a more diverse journal. Members of the team hail from a wide variety of disciplines, as do the authors published this year.

Heroes: A Realistic Depiction of Heroism Cheryl’Lynn Joost Lynchburg College April 11th, 2008 Committee Members: Dr. Michael Robinson - Chair Dr. Cheryl Jorgensen-Earp Professor Agatha Lynch Joost 2 Abstract In the world we live in, heroes are traditionally thought of as perfect individuals who always save the world. Perfection, however, is unrealistic in the real world. The television series Heroes is a form of text that provides viewers with heroes that are more realistic to the real world and easier to relate to. Heroes, which debuted in September of 2006, follows various people around the world who have recently discovered that they have extraordinary abilities. With their newly discovered talents, the characters now have to decide how to use them. This study critically analyzes particular characters that illustrate the ability to be a hero without being perfect. Despite their incredible powers and their good intentions these characters are not always perfect; they have faults and make mistakes.
