May 30, 2008A Most Eloquent Vandal: A (Depressing) Sign of the Times on the T-Line
In a dour sign of the era, an unknown vandal -- who obviously knows how to sling together a few nouns and verbs -- has absolutely put San Francisco State's ad wizards in clown suits with a few deft marks of his pen. You can click on the image for a large version of this top-notch bit of social commentary/graffiti. Keep in mind that the sloppy purple "ink" is part of the ad, while the sloppy black ink was scrawled by our most eloquent rapscallion. -- Joe Eskenazi
December 30, 2008Smile, You're Blind: SFSU Prof Says One's Ability To See -- or Not -- Has No Bearing on Facial Expressions
After sifting through thousands and thousands of photographs for his latest paper, professor David Matsumoto nearly worked himself blind. But he could still smile -- the San Francisco State psychology professor has made the case that our facial expressions aren't learned by observation but inborn at the genetic level. Matsumoto's paper, published in this month's edition of Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, is largely based upon his review of many thousands of snapshots of participant
January 15, 2009Rock Our Worlds: SFSU Scientist Models Creation of Planets
When Kansas sang that "All we are is dust in the wind," the band guaranteed itself a lifetime of references in college astronomy courses for nonmajors. "Dust" isn't just a great song to play at the 10th-grade junior prom -- its overriding message is essentially correct. Using far more math and far less percussion, San Francisco State University astronomy professor Joseph Barranco has created three-dimensional models demonstrating how churning dust in the vicinity of distant stars could create pl
January 20, 2009'Bedlam' at San Francisco State: Desperate Students Pack Classes -- and Must Request Library Books 48 Hours in Advance
If college is intended to brace young people for the real world, consider San Francisco State students well prepared. They're paying more, receiving less, and coping with conditions most Americans thought were more likely to plague a university where classes are occasionally canceled due to rocket attacks. With budget cuts to the California State University System hitting home at the same time as a 10 percent tuition increase, SFSU students are finding their candles burned at both ends. Studen

July 12, 1995S.F. State Ad Featuring Man Writing on Wall Popular Target For Folks Who Like to Write on Walls
Makes you wonder just what they mean by "extended learning"A little while back, we noted that a Muni ad for San Francisco State's extended learning program had been hit by a most eloquent vandal whose penwork was almost indistinguishable from the text. The above shot, also from the T-Line, reveals that this is a popular target for vandals -- though this fellow isn't quite as eloquent as the last we caught defacing this ad (as always, you can click on the photo for a larger version).

February 26, 2009Local Schools' Fortunes Plummeting in Tournament -- The Recycling Tournament. What Tournament Were You Thinking Of?
Not everything that goes in the trash can is trash. Ask someone who knows...Pulling into the home stretch of Recyclemania, the nationwide recycling competition for colleges and universities, our local institutions appear to be flagging a bit. Ranked 12th and 13th earlier this month, San Francisco State University and City College of San Francisco have dropped back in the pack. With the competition scheduled to end later this month, CCSF is ranked 14th and SFSU is sitting in the No. 15 spot. As w
March 18, 2009Aquatic Doo-Wop: Are San Francisco Fish Singing in Harmony?
Are you ready to rock? Professor Roger Bland can't be bothered to study just any singing fish. But a singing fish chorus? Now you're talking. The San Francisco State University professor of physics has been compiling MP3 clips of toadfish songs -- not via illegal fish downloads from the Internet but from undersea recordings gleaned from the depths of San Francisco Bay. The toadfish vibrate the muscles of their swim bladder, creating a foghorn-like sound that alerts females to their nests on the

A "360 Deal" is an agreement between artist and label which covers not only record sales, but also cuts the label in on merchandise, concert tickets, ringtones, and other potential revenue streams previously off-limits.

S.F. State researchers say 'family ties' inspire mental health in Chinese American communities. Tina Yothers would be proud. Caring for younger siblings or family elders may well be a pain in the ass -- but it could well be keeping San Francisco's Chinese American teens well-adjusted, according to a just-published study. San Francisco State professors Linda Juang and Jeffrey Cookston spent two years following the lives of 218 Chinese American teens in two San Francisco high schools. In a paper p

After throwing off local experts by holding off with the goods for a full week, San Francisco State University's reticent corpse flower burst into bloom on July 4, with a pungent, patriotic display. The fetid odor permeated all four rooms of the SFSU greenhouse, said greenhouse manager Ma
July 6, 2009Corpse Flower Redux: Stop-Motion Video Catches Bloom, Decline of Stinky Plant -- and a Couple of Hippies
Our loyal readers, as well as those with a disproportionate interest in malodorous local flora, remember a series of articles we wrote in early July about San Francisco State's shrinking violet of a corpse flower. After holding out for days past experts' repeated predictions of its imminent stinky bloom -- an event that only occurs once in a decade, if then -- the otherworldly looking plant noxiously opened over the July 4 weekend. We were there with our camera to document the event. At the time
August 5, 2009School Daze: S.F. State Announces its 'Furlough Calendar'
Sadly, they're all just trying to crash a biology class at SFSU...When we see college students walking, serpentine, on Friday nights, talking too loudly, and eating pizza slices in both hands, we feel nostalgic. When we see them hauling 75 pounds of books out of the library, that strikes a chord, too. But when we report on desperate students crashing classes they'll never get because of budget cutbacks, being forced to apply for library books 48 hours in advance, or, now, the release of San F

http://fusilly.com/blog/Sad -- but not as sad as real life Those of us who grew up in Northern California never experienced the joy of a school "Snow Day" in which reading, writing, and arithmetic are abandoned in favor of the ecstasy of winter frolicking. Growing up here, I vividly recall the time I witnessed ice on the sidewalk near a drainage pipe while walking to junior high school in 1988. You should have seen it. It was frozen solid. Like justice, however, joy delayed is joy denied. Whi
