As the 1990s progressed, masculinity crises and millennial anxieties intersected with an increasing fixation on nostalgic popular histories of World War II. The representative masculine figures proffered in Steven Spielberg films and Tom Hanks roles had critical relationships to cultural crises surrounding race, reproduction and sexuality. Nostalgic narratives emerged as way to fortify the American nation-state and resolve its social problems. The WWII cultural trend, through the specter of tributes to a dying generation, used nostalgic texts and images to create imaginary American landscapes that centered as much on contemporary masculinity and the political and social perspective of the Boomer generation as it did on the prior one.

  • Classic Gaming Expo 2005 !! ! Wow
    San Francisco, California August 20-21, 2005 $5.00 Welcome to Classic Gaming Expo 2005 !! ! Wow .... eight years! It's truly amazing to think that we 've been doing this show, and trying to come up with a fresh introduction for this program, for eight years now. Many things have changed over the years - not the least of which has been ourselves. Eight years ago John was a cable splicer for the New York phone company, which was then called NYNEX, and was happily and peacefully married to his wife Beverly who had no idea what she was in for over the next eight years. Today, John's still married to Beverly though not quite as peacefully with the addition of two sons to his family. He's also in a supervisory position with Verizon - the new New York phone company. At the time of our first show, Sean was seven years into a thirteen-year stint with a convenience store he owned in Chicago. He was married to Melissa and they had two daughters. Eight years later, Sean has sold the convenience store and opened a videogame store - something of a life-long dream (or was that a nightmare?) Sean 's family has doubled in size and now consists of fou r daughters. Joe and Liz have probably had the fewest changes in their lives over the years but that's about to change . Joe has been working for a firm that manages and maintains database software for pharmaceutical companies for the past twenty-some years. While there haven 't been any additions to their family, Joe is about to leave his job and pursue his dream of owning his own business - and what would be more appropriate than a videogame store for someone who's life has been devoted to collecting both the games themselves and information about them for at least as many years? Despite these changes in our lives we once again find ourselves gathering to pay tribute to an industry for which our admiration will never change .

Zawia______________ DEAN OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL UNIVERSITY OF RHODE ISLAND 2013 ABSTRACT The skeletons of chondrichthyans (sharks, skates, rays, and chimeras) are composed entirely of cartilage, yet must still provide the skeletal support that bone does in other vertebrates. There is also an incredible range of diversity in the morphology of the cartilaginous skeleton of the feeding apparatus in Chondrichthyans. The goal of this research is to provide insight into the morphological evolution and biomechanical function of the cranial skeleton in chondrichthyans. Feeding style changes can occur with morphological changes in the skeletal elements of the shark feeding apparatus.

  • August 21-22, 2004
    San .Jose, California August 21-22, 2004 $5.00 Welcome to Classic Gaming Expo 2004!!! When this show first opened in 1998 no one really knew what to expect. The concept of "retro" gaming was still relatively new and was far from mainstream. It was a brave new world , where gaming fans worked to bring everyone together for a fun-filled weekend reminding us of how we got so excited about videogames in the first place. This year's event feels like that first time. For the last six years Classic Gaming Expo has taken residence in the glamorous confines of sin city, Las Vegas. It was a great run but recently we began to notice that Las Vegas is, in fact, an island . We could promote the show 24/7 for months but the one thing we could not change is that there are very few native gamers in the area. Everyone attending Classic Gaming Expo was in Las Vegas specifically to attend this show - so unless you were prepared to take a vacation on that weekend , you were going to miss it year in and year out. The move to San Jose not only brings the excitement of a fun-filled gaming weekend to a brave new world, but this brave new world also happens to be the home of videogaming itself. The roots of everything you know and love about this industry sprang not far from this very building. We think it's time to sow some new seeds and build a new home. A place where we can all experience the games, the people, and the excitement that filled our youth, all over again .
