19th century American landscape master Thomas Cole wove a preservationist perspective into his art. First grade students liked seeing it, but enjoyed making their own pictures even more.
Thomas Cole's 1827 oil painting, Peace at Sunset (Evening in the White Mountains) currently on display at the Sonoma County Museum, is a featured compliment to the touring ehxhibit there, "Wild Land: Thomas Cole and the Birth of American Landscape Painting," which was produced by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Cole's rare masterpiece is on loan from San Francisco's De Young Museums (Image courtesy Sonoma County Museum).
Cole's fame might have been greater, but in 1848 he died unexpectedly at the age of just 47. The Thomas Cole exhibits at the Sonoma County Museum continue through January 13.

Jayceon Terrell Taylor (born November 29, 1979), better known by his stage name The Game or simply Game, is an American rapper and actor. Game is best known as a rapper in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of Dr. Dre's most notable protégés. Born in Los Angeles, California, he released his first mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 1 in 2002, and landed a record deal with the independent label Get Low Recordz owned by JT the Bigga Figga. Game's mixtape reached the hands of Sean Combs, founder of Bad Boy Records, who originally was on the verge of signing him to his label. Five months later, he was discovered by Dr. Dre who listened to the mixtape and signed him to his Aftermath Entertainment label in 2003. He rose to fame in 2005 with the success of his debut album "The Documentary" (2005) and "Doctor's Advocate" (2006). The Recording Industry Association of America certified his album "The Documentary" double platinum in March 2005 and it has sold over five million copies worldwide.
A rising artist in the 2000s, Game is considered to be a driving force in bringing back the West Coast hip hop scene into the mainstream and competing with many of his East Coast counterparts.[3][4][5] Game was placed into G-Unit by Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine. Due to his disputes with 50 Cent, Game left Aftermath Entertainment and signed with Geffen Records, another label under Universal Music Group's Interscope-Geffen-A&M division, to terminate his contractual obligations with G-Unit in the summer of 2006. Game's second album Doctor's Advocate was released on November 14, 2006 and it became his second straight album to debut at No. 1 on US Billboard 200 chart. Doctor's Advocate did not feature any production from Dr. Dre. Pitchfork Media placed "The Documentary" at number 35 on their list of Top 50 Albums of 2005. Game was nominated with a total of two nominations, including Grammy Award for Best Rap Song and Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for the smash single "Hate It or Love It". The New York Times named Doctor's Advocate best hip-hop album of 2006.[6]
His next album LAX was released in 2008. With his fourth studio album The R.E.D. Album, Game again debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. In addition to music, Game has starred in motion pictures and founded The Black Wall Street Records. In September 2011, Game started working on his fifth studio album titled Jesus Piece which was released on December 11, 2012, his final album released by Interscope. After releasing a mixtape OKE, on October 12, 2013, Birdman announced The Game had signed to Cash Money Records, which is distributed by Republic Records. However, The Game later said the deal had not been finalized yet.
Early life
Game was born Jayceon Terrell Taylor on November 29, 1979, in Los Angeles, California. He grew up in Compton, a low-income crime-ridden city in Los Angeles County, in a primarily Crip gang neighborhood known as Santana Blocc,[7] although he grew up to become a member of the Bloods.[8][9] He was born into a life of gang-wars and hustling. In an October 2006 interview with MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway, Game described his family as "dysfunctional" and claimed that his father molested one of his sisters.[10] When later interviewed, Game stated that at a young age, he recalled seeing both of his parents preparing to do drive-by shootings. His father was a Nutty Block Crip and his mother a Hoover Crippelette. Drugs and guns were all around Taylor when he was a youngster. His father was a heroin addict and both his parents frequently took cocaine. At around the age of 6, Taylor stated that a friend of his was murdered for his clothes and shoes in the neighborhood by a teenager.[11]
At age 7, Taylor was placed in foster care. Initially, he was teased by other children. However, his intelligence was acknowledged by his caretakers and he usually helped his foster brothers and sisters with their homework.[citation needed] Taylor had a defining moment in his life when he met his idol, rapper Eazy-E of the rap group N.W.A, around 1989.Throughout Taylor's adolescence, he endured many hardships. At 13, one of Taylor's older brothers, Jevon, who was 17 at the time and had just received a record deal, was shot at a gas station. Taylor stated that he felt his father played a hand in this by not being there, for if he had, his brother would not have been shot. Jevon died the day after Jayceon visited him in the hospital, promising that things would be better and that lost time would be made up. Two years later, when Taylor was 15, he was removed from the foster care system. He moved in with his mother, Lynette, as his father was no longer around, and had a tumultuous relationship with his mother at first.[11] Taylor attended Compton High School, where most students who were affiliated with gangs were Crips. However, his older half brother George Taylor III, known as Big Fase 100, attended Centennial High School and was the leader of the Cedar Block Piru Bloods.
In high school, Taylor was beginning to follow in his brother's footsteps but when his natural athletic abilities earned him a position as the point guard on the basketball team, he chose to focus on athletics instead, joining the track team and playing other various sports. In 1999, Taylor graduated from Compton High School and enrolled in Washington State University. According to Taylor, he had earned a basketball scholarship to the university, but was kicked out of the university after being caught with drugs in his possession. The university's athletic department, however, refutes that Taylor was ever enrolled in their athletic program and denies the drug claims.[12] After being expelled from college, Taylor fully embraced street life, selling drugs and running with gangs.[13] Game and his brother Big Fase owned an apartment on the outskirts of Compton in Bellflower. Shortly after moving there, they had a monopoly on the drug trade, but the operation was short-lived. On October 1, 2001, while Taylor was in the apartment alone, he heard a knock on the door at 2 a.m. Expecting a late night sale, Taylor opened the door to see a regular customer. The man, however, was accompanied by two other visitors. A fight then ensued between Taylor and another man, and before he was able to reach for his pistol, Taylor was shot five times by one of the assailants. After lying still for several minutes, Game used his cell phone and called an ambulance. Due to the severity of his wounds, Taylor went into a three-day coma.[11]
Music career
Early career (2002–03)
While recovering in the hospital from gunshot wounds he incurred in late 2001, Game told his brother to go out and buy all of the classic hip-hop albums. Over the course of five months, he studied all of the various influential rap albums and developed a strategy to turn himself into a rapper. With the help of his older brother Big Fase, they founded the label. It originally featured such artists as Glasses Malone, Vita, and Nu Jerzey Devil, along with Game himself.[14] His stage name was coined by his grandmother; she said that he was game for anything.[14] Game first gained prominence when he attended a hip hop summit hosted by Russell Simmons and Louis Farrakhan.[15] After he had fully recovered, Game and Big Fase made a mixtape together. He released his first mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 1 in 2002, and landed a record deal with the independent label Get Low Recordz owned by JT the Bigga Figga.
Game's mixtape reached the hands of Sean Combs, founder of Bad Boy Records, who originally was on the verge of signing him to his label.[16] Five months later, he was discovered by Dr. Dre who listened to the mixtape that had been produced by his brother. Dr. Dre contacted Game and signed him to his Aftermath Entertainment label in 2003.[17][18] In late 2003, Interscope Records CEO Jimmy Iovine and Dr. Dre decided to have Game work with 50 Cent and G-Unit in order to help build a growing buzz around Game which would also fuel interest in G-Unit. Game made his first cameo appearance in the music video for 50 Cent's "In da Club", where he is seen dancing with a girl. Since then, he has made numerous cameo appearances in music videos by 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and Fabolous. Game spent the next two and a half years working on his debut album and being mentored by Dr. Dre.[14][19]
The Documentary (2003-05)
Not having dropped an album despite being signed onto Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records for a while, Game was still able to create hype around his image alone. He appeared in ads for Sean Combs's Sean John clothing company and had an endorsement deal with Boost Mobile, appearing in a commercial alongside Kanye West and Ludacris. Game also appeared heavily on the mixtape circuit and guest starred on mixtapes for DJ Green Lantern, The Diplomats, and G-Unit. The first single released with Game on it was "Certified Gangstas", which also featured Jim Jones and Cam'ron. Though the single wasn't considered to be mainstream, the buzz increased around the West Coast rapper.
On September 28, 2004, Game released his first promo single, "Westside Story", from his debut album. He had originally chosen to title his debut album Nigga Wit' An Attitude Volume 1 (as heard in the lyrics to "Dreams"), but an injunction filed at the request of Eazy-E's widow prevented him from using N.W.A.'s name in the album title. Thus, the album was titled The Documentary, which featured Dr. Dre and 50 Cent as executive producers. The album spawned the hit singles "How We Do" and "Hate It or Love It", the latter receiving two Grammy nominations.[20] The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and was the tenth best selling album of 2005 in the United States.[21] It also debuted at number seven in the United Kingdom and sold over five million copies worldwide.[22] In October 2004, he released Untold Story through Get Low Recordz, which sold over 82,000 copies within its first three months.[23] The album featured artists like Sean T, Young Noble (of the Outlawz), and JT the Bigga Figga.[24] Game also appeared on various mixtapes hosted by DJ's such as DJ Kayslay, DJ Whoo Kid, and DJ Clue. Game also released a second mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 2 through his own record label and appeared on the video game NBA Live 2004 on a song produced by Fredwreck called "Can't Stop Me".[25]
Later that year, the young rapper Lil Eazy-E, son of rapper the late Eazy-E, entered a feud with Game. The two used to be close associates and even recorded music together. Lil' Eazy-E has since directed numerous diss songs targeting the rapper, and has expressed his anger over what he felt was Game misuse of his father's name. Game responded by claiming that Lil' Eazy-E was trying to establish himself off the success he had made since releasing The Documentary.[26] He released a song titled "120 Bars" where he claimed that Lil' Eazy-E does not write his own lyrics.[27] However, on the same track, Game stated that he would rather not feud with Lil' Eazy-E due to the deep respect he has for Lil' Eazy-E's father. Lil' Eazy-E later responded with "They Know Me". On October 30, 2006, Game went on KDAY and said that he and Lil' Eazy-E had ended their feud.
Dr. Dre's nemesis, Suge Knight, also had an ongoing feud with Game that stemmed from Yukmouth's claim that Game had been slapped by Suge Knight. Game responded on his website, saying that if Suge Knight had ever touched him, he would be "six feet under".[citation needed] After the 2005 BET Awards show, associates of Death Row Records had their invitations to a party hosted by Ciara rescinded. Supposedly, a member of Death Row Records tried to steal Game's chain. Game stated on his website that he disliked Suge Knight because of "the lives he has endangered". In Miami for the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards, Suge Knight was shot and wounded at Kanye West's party by an unknown gunman.[28] Game vigorously denied involvement in the shooting, but the incident renewed efforts to pacify hip hop feuds and Game has consequently been discouraged from attending certain events in hopes of averting retaliation.[29] Later, Game and various representatives of California's rap cliques formed a West Coast "peace treaty" to end many rivalries between West Coast rappers.[30] Although Suge Knight did not attend, he and Game declared their feud over.[citation needed]
Doctor's Advocate, G-Unit and feud (2005-07)
In early 2005, Game entered a feud with G-Unit. Even before Game's debut album was released and their feud became public, there was tension between Game and 50 Cent.[31] Soon after The Documentary's release, 50 Cent talked about an accident that occurred in the strip club by stating that he felt that the rapper's actions of not partnering with 50 Cent to react to Fat Joe and Jadakiss after the New York song written by Ja Rule were wrong and then booted Game out of G-Unit. 50 Cent also claimed that he was not getting his proper credit for the creation of the album, as he had written six of the songs, all of which Game denied. During that dispute, a member of Game's entourage was shot during a confrontation that occurred at the Hot 97 studio in New York City.[32] After the situation between them escalated, 50 Cent and Game held a press conference to announce their reconciliation.[33] Fans had mixed feelings as to whether the rappers created a publicity stunt to boost the sales of the two albums the pair had just released.[32] Nevertheless, even after the situation had apparently deflated,[34] G-Unit continued to feud with Game, denouncing his street credibility in the media and claimed that, without their support, he would not score a hit if he made a second album. Game responded during a performance at Summer Jam and launched a boycott of G-Unit called "G-Unot".[35]
After the performance at Summer Jam, Game responded with a song titled "300 Bars and Runnin'", an extended "diss" aimed at G-Unit as well as members of Roc-A-Fella Records on the mixtape You Know What It Is Vol. 3. The track is unique in that it is nearly 14 minutes long, in which Game criticizes all members of G-Unit, amongst many others. 50 Cent responded through his "Piggy Bank" music video, which features Game as a Mr. Potato Head doll and also parodies other rivals.[36] Since then, both groups continued to attack each other. Game released two more mixtapes, Ghost Unit and a mixtape/DVD called Stop Snitchin, Stop Lyin. 50 Cent's rebuttal was "Not Rich, Still Lyin'" where he mocks Game.[37] In addition, G-Unit started to respond on numerous mixtapes and then-new G-Unit member Spider Loc began dissing Game. Game responded with "240 Bars (Spider Joke)",[37] a song mainly aimed at Spider Loc, but also addressing Tony Yayo and rap group M.O.P.,[37] and on the song "The Funeral 100 Bars".
The feud between Game and Roc-A-Fella Records grew out of an earlier rivalry with Memphis Bleek over the name of his label (Get Low Records), which was similar to the one Game was previously signed to (Get Low Recordz). On the single "Westside Story", Game raps that "I don't do button-up shirts or drive Maybachs", which was perceived as being directed towards Jay-Z, though Game stated it was directed toward Ja Rule. Later Jay-Z performed a freestyle on Funkmaster Flex's radio show on Hot 97 and in it, he repeatedly used the word "game", which some hip-hop fans believed was directed towards Game. Game responded with 'My Bitch" in which the first verse is directed at G-Unit, the second verse is directed at Jay-Z and the third verse at Suge Knight.[38]
Due to his disputes with 50 Cent, Game left Aftermath Entertainment and signed with Geffen Records another label under Universal Music Group's Interscope-Geffen-A&M division to terminate his contractual obligations with G-Unit in the summer of 2006. The rapper's second album Doctor's Advocate was released on November 14, 2006. This album was set out by Game to prove that he was still able to make good music and be a successful artist without the help of Dr. Dre or 50 Cent. While Game originally claimed Dr. Dre would still do production on the album in the November issue of XXL magazine,[39] he admitted in September after the XXL interview was conducted during an interview on radio station Power 105 that Dr. Dre would not be producing any tracks[40] although four previously unreleased tracks produced by Dr. Dre were released on the internet, but no reason was given as to why they were not included on the album. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling over 358,000 copies its first week.[41]
In October 2006, Game extended a peace treaty to 50 Cent, which was not immediately replied to.[42] However, a couple days later on Power 106, he stated that the treaty was only offered for one day. On Game's album Doctor's Advocate, he says the feud is over on a few of the songs. The feud seemed to have gained steam after Tony Yayo allegedly slapped the fourteen-year-old son of Czar Entertainment CEO Jimmy Rosemond. Game responded with "Body Bags" on You Know What It Is Vol. 4.[43] Since Young Buck was dismissed from G-Unit by 50 Cent, there has been interviews from both Game and Young Buck stating they never had a problem with each other. In an interview Young Buck said he was aware of Game's support and that Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo did not reach out to him.[44]
LAX and The R.E.D. Album (2007–12)
Game appeared on 106 & Park on May 16, where he confirmed LAX would be the last studio album he records. He had originally announced that Dr. Dre would be producing for the album, but neither Dr. Dre nor Aftermath Entertainment had confirmed. The album, went head to head with heavy metal band Slipknot's All Hope Is Gone on the Billboard 200, seeing that both albums were released on August 22, 2008, therefore both albums were competing for the number one spot on the Billboard 200 albums charts. LAX ended up debuting at number two on the Billboard 200, at first it looked like LAX had debuted ahead of All Hope Is Gone by 13 copies, with such a close difference. Initially, Billboard published an article stating that The Game had secured the top spot with a margin of 13 units, in what was described as the "closest race for number one since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking Data in 1991".[45] Slipknot's labels Warner Music Group and Roadrunner Records asked for a SoundScan recount, a historic first. Nielsen proceeded to the recount, which placed LAX at number two with 238,382 copies, and Slipknot in first position with 239,516 copies scanned, a margin of 1,134 copies. After the recount 12 hours later, the article was rewritten and Slipknot was awarded the number one spot, having sold 239,516 units.[45] The album spawned four singles, "Game's Pain" with R&B singer Keyshia Cole, "Dope Boys" with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, "My Life" with rapper Lil Wayne and "Camera Phone" with R&B singer Ne-Yo. In the United States the album has sold over 660,100 copies.[46]
It was confirmed in May 2009, that Game began working on a new album title, The R.E.D. Album[47][48] On June 26, 2009 Game released a song titled "Better on the Other Side" a Michael Jackson tribute, the day after Jackson's death. It features Diddy, Mario Winans, Chris Brown, Usher & Boyz II Men.[49] On October 3, 2009, Snoop Dogg posted a picture on his Twitter of himself, Dr. Dre and Game in the studio working together,[50][51] The picture was taken a day earlier and it marked the first time Game had worked with Dr. Dre for some years since the beef with former fellow G-Unit labelmate 50 Cent caused him to release his two following albums on Geffen Records. Later in early January 2010 Game posted a twitpic of him wearing a lot of Aftermath chains with a caption saying "It's funny how things come Full Circle". Later he confirmed that he had returned to Aftermath Entertainment.[52] On June 3, 2011, Pitchfork Media announced that Game is working with Odd Future leader Tyler, The Creator on a track called "Martians vs. Goblins".[53] Finally released on August 23, 2011, The R.E.D. Album reached No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart with first week sales of 98,000 units sold.[54]
Jesus Piece (2012-present)
Shortly after the release of the long delayed fourth studio album, Game announced he had begun work on his fifth album. At the time titled 'Soundtrack to Chaos' he said the album would not feature him "name-dropping" or feature any artists as guests for vocals.[55] In March 2012, Game announced the album name had been changed to F.I.V.E.: Fear Is Victory's Evolution and that it could be his last album released under Interscope,[55] but in August 28 rapper published new title: Jesus Piece.
In an interview with MTV on November 8, Game revealed that as Jesus Piece is his last album before his deal with Interscope comes to a close, he has had talks with both Maybach Music Group and Cash Money Records for a possible new record deal. He also stated that he would consider releasing music independently.[56]
The album was released on December 11, 2012, with features from Lil Wayne, Big Sean, J. Cole, Jamie Foxx, Wiz Khalifa, Tyga and Chris Brown among others. The album debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 selling 87,000 copies in the United States.[57] In promotion for the album Game started a free weekly music giveaway titled, "Sunday Service". All the tracks are leftovers from Jesus Piece. Game also showed interest in making a future collaboration LP with Chris Brown.[58] Game explained the concept of Jesus Piece does not have a spiritual theme, but it would have a "Gangster" theme of enjoying life while also having faith in God.[59][60] Jesus Piece became Game's first album since the multi-platinum selling and critically acclaimed The Documentary, to feature production from Dr. Dre. Game announced on social media that every Sunday leading up to the album that he would be dropping new music, which failed to make the album's final cut. Game compared the album's quality of production and high number of guests to his mentor Dr. Dre's The Chronic 2001.[61] Upon release the album received generally positive reviews by music critics. Most reviewers have praised the production and guests and the album.[62] Jesus Piece debuted at number five on the Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 86,000 copies in the United States.[63] As of July 26, 2013, it has sold 281,000 copies according to Nielsen SoundScan.[64]
On November 30, 2012, Game announced that him and fellow rapper Stat Quo are starting a new record label titled Rolex Records. Both artists will use the label to release new music and sign other artists.[65] On October 1, 2013, Game announced he was officially leaving Interscope Records, and that he was now a free agent.[66] The following day he told Artistdirect that him signing to Cash Money Records was likely, and that a final announcement of a signing would probably come in January 2014. He also stated he had talked to Kendrick Lamar, Nipsey Hussle, and Snoop Dogg about possibly doing collaboration albums in the future.[67]
On October 8, The Game released his first project since leaving Interscope, a mixtape titled Operation Kill Everything.[68] The mixtape featured guest appearances by Too Short, Schoolboy Q, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, Problem, Nipsey Hussle, Juicy J, Young Jeezy, Stat Quo, and Ty$ among others.[69] The day after the mixtape's release, The Game spoke to XXL where he said, he had begun working on his sixth studio album, which will be executive produced by Cool & Dre. He mentioned he had also talked to Warner Bros. Records about a record deal, and was still possible that he would re-sign with Interscope.[70] Then the following day, The Game released a deluxe edition of OKE to iTunes, featuring two bonus tracks, including "Hollywood" a song with Scarface.[71] On October 12, 2013, Birdman announced that he had signed The Game to Cash Money Records, which Game later confirmed that same day.[72] On December 11, 2013 Game stated that he was not officially signed to Cash Money Records stating "It's just trying to figure out what's the best for Cash Money, what's the best for Game at this point in his career. That's pretty much family and that's where I'm at, at this point," he said. "Nothing's written in stone, but that's where I'm leaning."[73][74]
Other ventures
In 2000, The Game appeared on dating television show Change of Heart,[75] in the segment his partner criticized him for "acting macho when in reality is said to be sensitive." The episode came to an end where a mutual friend of The Game and his partner suggested in them staying together, The Game decided to stay together but was rebuffed by the offer when his partner agreed to a change of heart and The Game was subsequently dumped on TV.[76]

The team was coached by former NBA player Sean Higgins.[79]

VH1 broadcast two seasons of Marrying The Game, a reality television series about The Game and his fiancé Tiffney Cambridge, as they prepare to walk down the aisle. The relationship is "love at first sight" when Tiffney first met Jayceon. But she had grave reservations about the young rapper's career. Despite her reservations, love blossomed and after eight years and two children (King Justice and Cali Dream), Tiffney agrees to marry him.[89] The marriage plans have not materialized despite the series.
Legal issues
Game, Snoop Dogg, and Tha Dogg Pound, were sued for assaulting a fan on stage at a May 2005 concert at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington. The accuser, Richard Monroe, Jr., claimed he was beaten by the artists' entourage while mounting the stage.[90] He alleged that he reacted to an "open invite" to come on stage. Before he could, Snoop's bodyguards grabbed him and he was beaten unconscious by crewmembers, including the rapper and producer Soopafly; Snoop and Game were included in the suit for not intervening. The lawsuit focuses on a pecuniary claim of $22 million in punitive and compensatory damages, battery, negligence, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.[91] The concerned parties appeared in court in April 2009.
On October 28, 2005, Game was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest in Greensboro, North Carolina. At one point, police said his companions were pepper sprayed when they surrounded officers in a threatening manner.[92] Mall security officers said the rapper was wearing a full-face Halloween mask, filming shoppers, cursing loudly, and refused to leave when asked. Game continued to act up and was arrested, a police statement said. Game claimed that officers overreacted and that he did nothing wrong when he was pepper sprayed by the mall security.[92] The five officers involved in the incident ended up suing Game for defamation,.[93] The officers were awarded $5 million in compensatory damages, which was upheld on appeal by the North Carolina Court of Appeals in February 2012.[94]
On May 11, 2007, Game was arrested at his home reportedly in connection with an incident at a basketball game in South Los Angeles in February 2007. He is alleged to have threatened a person with a gun. The arrest took place after his home was searched for three hours. Game was released early the next day after posting $50,000 bail.[95] On January 9, 2008, a Los Angeles judge scheduled February 4 as the beginning date for Game's trial on assault and weapons charges.[96] After pleading no contest to a felony weapons charge on February 11, Game was sentenced to 60 days in jail, 150 hours of community service, and three years probation.[97]
In 2011, Game was refused entry to Canada for alleged gang ties in LA; concert organisers said he was associated with the Bloods.[98]
On August 12, 2011, rapper The Game decided to tweet his search for a supposed internship opening. In the message sent to his over 580,000 followers, he posted the number to call as the emergency line for the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. The Game's fans jammed the line for hours. Initially, The Game denied any wrongdoing saying the tweet was "a mistake." The Game then posted a message saying the sheriff's department can "track a tweet down but you can't solve murders!" A criminal investigation was launched stating that the The Game could be charged for obstruction of justice. Despite all of this, the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department issued this statement, "Based upon our investigation, as well as consultation with the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, the LASD considers the criminal investigation into this matter closed. The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department will not be seeking criminal charges." The Game issued an apology on CNN saying, "My sincerest apologies to the Sheriff's Department, it was a joke gone wrong."
On July 8, 2012, 40 Glocc got into an altercation with rapper The Game. In a video clip, allegedly, shot by The Game via Game's iPhone during the fight, 40 Glocc is seen running into a bush after being beaten up by the fellow West Coast rapper [99][100] Game backed up what he did by saying he was retaliating for Glocc going up to rappers Lil Wayne and Plies in the past with large entourages.[101] In October 2012, 40 Glocc filed a lawsuit for $4.54 million for assault and battery, as well as damaging his reputation. This included $500,000 in pain and suffering; $500,000 in emotional distress; $750,000 in lost earnings; $2 million for punitive damages; $25,000 in medical expenses; and various other reasons. Since then, Glocc has gone on a smear campaign against The Game, releasing his diss "The Full Edit" in December 2012. Game has similarly addressed the situation in several interviews, claiming that filing a lawsuit of this nature "disintegrates your street cred."[102] In December 2012, 40 Glocc assaulted Game's manager Dontay "Taydoe" Kidd in Las Vega, Nevada.[103]

Hey Beno,
Last night was the first game I've attended this year and that play made the game worth it IMO...
I recorded it on my phone as well. I thought the internet just needed to know that existed.

This year's April's fool joke was fun. My first chat was like, "oh, cool, how can I get it to contradict itself?" After that, I clicked the "never" link and it was gone. Good opt-out option. I thought.
But it wasn't gone! Meta was spammed with a lot questions on the expert. Including this one, indeed. Here's all the spam I could find for now:
- http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/174624/205264 closed
- Where should we post amusing expert chats? downvoted a lot
- How can I hide the expert if clicking 'never' doesn't work? duplicate
- Let's get rid of all of the "Chat with an expert" questions (actually a good idea)
- http://meta.stackoverflow.com/q/174543/205264 duplicate
- Any way to see all the transcripts of Expert chat?
- Will the expert still be accessible in the future? (really, why would you want that?)
- Ask an Expert Prank Breaks Chrome Console Display closed
- Can we have a real chat expert? closed
- Get the expert back (my bad, yes, sorry)
- How can I become expert of "chat with an expert"? closed
- Disabling the April Fools chat box doesn't work
- Is it a bot talking us as expert? duplicate
- Make "Ask an Expert" real downvoted a lot
- What is "chat with an expert"?
- This question downvoted a lot
And I'm not even talking about similar questions on per-site Metas, the questions that were directly removed because of immediate downvotes or duplicate marks, etc.
Let's get this straight. I do like an April's fool joke, I did like this one, and yes, it's fun to play with it. However, I don't like seeing Meta spammed on it.
So, I think we should've a discussion on this. Do we want an April's fool joke next year?

2011 Maryland Democratic fundraising topped $20 million
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — The Democratic Governors Association chaired by Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley has reported it raised more than $20 million in 2011.
The DGA said Tuesday that the money raised in 2011 outpaces the $12.7 million raised in 2007.
O'Malley says he is proud the DGA was able to help Democratic governors win tough races in Kentucky and West Virginia last year. O'Malley also says the DGA will have the resources to aid Democratic candidates this year.
The Associated Press reported in August that Exelon Corp., which is looking to buy Baltimore-based Constellation Energy, was a top donor to the DGA. Exelon donated $250,000 between Jan. 1 and June 30.
O'Malley was re-elected to chair the DGA last month by the nation's 20 Democratic governors.

The Almost Moon by Alice Sebold
"When all is said and done, killing my mother came easily." So begins The Almost Moon, Alice Sebold's astonishing, brilliant, and daring new novel. A woman steps over the line into the unthinkable in this unforgettable work by the author of The Lovely Bones and Lucky.
For years Helen Knightly has given her life to others: to her haunted mother, to her enigmatic father, to her husband and now grown children. When she finally crosses a terrible boundary, her life comes rushing in at her in a way she never could have imagined.
Unfolding over the next twenty-four hours, this searing, fast-paced novel explores the complex ties between mothers and daughters, wives and lovers; the meaning of devotion; and the line between love and hate. It is a challenging, moving, gripping story, written with the fluidity and strength of voice that only Alice Sebold can bring to the page.
About Alice Sebold: Born in Madison, Wisconsin, Sebold grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia and attended Syracuse University as well as the University of Houston and the University of California, Irvine.
In 1999, she penned a searing memoir, Lucky, about her nightmarish experience as the survivor of a sexual assault, and the trial that followed. But she became a literary star with the publication of her second book, The Lovely Bones. Heralded by advance praise from early readers, it went on to become one of the best-reviewed and biggest-selling novels of 2002.
The Lovely Bones went on to become an unprecedented international bestseller, with translations in 36 languages and American hardcover sales alone of nearly three million copies. Three months after its publication, Sebold's earlier memoir, Lucky, was issued in paperback. It also rose to number one on The New York Times Bestseller list and brought recognition from countless organizations that represent victims of violence and sexual assault.
Alice Sebold has been chosen by the Village Voice as a Writer on the Verge and has written for the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune. She lives in California with her husband, the novelist Glen David Gold.
Discover all titles and editions from Alice Sebold.

It's a mystery to me why Innes National Park (INP) isn't on any Top 10 Australian National Parks lists. At the south-western tip of Yorke Peninsula's 'toe' (you'll see what I mean on the map) its wild and remote beauty is unique.
BUT ... perhaps the unparalleled coastal scenery, historic buildings, walking trails, shipwreck sites, deserted beaches, fishing, lighthouses, wildlife and stunning wildflowers in season in the park just don't stack up against the nations' finest. Maybe I've got it wrong.
So is this place REALLY awesome? Or is it just me?? Take the tour, and decide for yourself!
And here's the view towards Chinaman's Hat Island and Cable Bay camp ground as you head into the park towards the Cape Spencer lighthouse. The short walk to the lighthouse gives magnificent views on either side of the ridge top, and ahead to the islands. But don't just take my word for it ... the picture at the end of the post shows it all clearly!
The Inneston ruins and lake are where the gypsum mine operated in the early 1900's. The Thomson-Pfitzner walking track follows the old wooden railway line used to transport gypsum to Stenhouse bay and the jetty. It's 4km each way - but luckily you can have lunch at the Rhino's Head tavern at the half way mark!
Here's Inneston, and the INP birdwatcher's trifecta – Emu, Mallee Fowl and Western Whipbird – MAY be spotted on the walking track. Although Western Whipbird is the reason for INP's proclamation, it remains elusive. BUT … we've sighted Australian Shelduck with young on the lake, and Southern Scrub Robin on the track. It's not all ruins – people live here, and some of the cottages are available for rent if you're looking for a place to stay.
Here's the Ethel wreck, one of several in the area. Depending on tidal, storm and/or sand activity you may see more or less than this! Get right down to the beach for a closer look.
The recently renovated rest area (how's that for alliteration?!?!) at West Cape Lighthouse has arguably one of the most spectacular coastal views in INP, even more so from the short walk to the lighthouse. But be warned! The winds can be fierce – luckily there's a sign in case you hadn't noticed …
The north western section of the park includes beaches to rival the tropics. Don't believe me? Here's Brown's Beach! Popular for fishing, surfing and hiking, this area of the park has several camp grounds and some serious walking tracks – try the 11km return trip through to Gym Beach at the northernmost limit of the park.
And I haven't even mentioned the spring wildflowers! My personal favourite, Templetonia retusa – more imaginatively known as 'Cockies tongue' – almost overshadows the orchids, wattles, eucalypts and pea flowers.
If any other selling points are needed, it's not that far from another favourite place - Troubridge Island and Lighthouse!
SO … did I get it wrong, or are these delights enough to make the Top 10?
OK, left is another scenic coastline shot to help you decide!! And right is the lighthouse shot I referred to above!
Stay awe-struck!

Harry McCracken
Vice president and editor-in-chief, PC World
On April 30, 2007, PC WorldŌĆÖs Harry McCracken resigned as editor-in-chief over a dispute about an opinion piece that then PC World CEO Colin Crawford killed over advertising concerns.
It was a bold move that did not go unrecognized. McCrackenŌĆÖs resignation generated a flurry of news stories and sparked a number of outraged readers to post negative comments online and to cancel their subscriptions. A little more than a week later the standoff was resolved and Robert Carrigan, president of parent company IDG Communications, announced that McCracken had rejoined PC World in his former capacity.
McCrackenŌĆÖs editorial resolutionŌĆöand excellenceŌĆöhave been recognized by more than just his superiors and readers. Since McCracken was named vice president and editor-in-chief in March 2004, PC World and PCWorld.com have been honored with more than 60 awards, including numerous American Business MediaŌĆÖs Jesse H. Neal editorial awards and FOLIO:ŌĆÖs annual Eddie awards. He also received ABMŌĆÖs 2008 Timothy White award for upholding editorial standards and integrity.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs one part good service journalism, one part objectivity, another part creativity and a healthy dash of skepticism and a willingness to provoke,ŌĆØ McCracken says. ŌĆ£Readers respond to this, and so do our peers who judge editorial competitions.ŌĆØ
Maintaining PC WorldŌĆÖs brand integrity and making it an essential read is something McCracken says he will uphold, no matter the cost. ŌĆ£When we give negative reviews, report on customer service glitches, and publish investigative reports, we often catch flack from the companies we cover. But thatŌĆÖs kind of a compliment. As our chairman, Pat McGovern, says: ŌĆśThe time to worry is not when the industry is mad at PC WorldŌĆöbut when they donŌĆÖt care what we say.ŌĆÖŌĆØ
VITAL STATS: PC World has been critically recognized with more than 60 awards since McCracken took the post of vice president and editor-in-chief in March 2004.

In the Matter of the REPRESENTATION OF EMPLOYEES of HORIZON AIR INDUSTRIES, INC. Mechanics and Related Employees |
29 NMB No. 73 CASE NO. R-6880 CERTIFICATION July 2, 2002 |
The services of the National Mediation Board (Board) were invoked by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA) on April 9, 2002, to investigate and determine who may represent for the purposes of the Railway Labor Act (RLA), as provided by Section 2, Ninth, thereof, personnel described as "Mechanics and Related Employees," employees of Horizon Air Industries, Inc. (Carrier).
At the time this application was received, these employees were represented by the Transport Workers Union of America (TWU).
The Board assigned Investigator Eileen M. Hennessey to investigate.
The investigation disclosed that a dispute existed among the craft or class of Mechanics and Related Employees, and by direction of the Board, the Investigator was instructed to conduct an election by secret ballot to determine the employees' representation choice.
The following is the result of the election as reported by Investigator Hennessey who was assigned to count the ballots in this case.
Number of Employees Voting: | |||
TWU | AMFA | Number of Employees Eligible | |

Health, Medicine and Illness
Questions related to health, medicine and illness are widely researched and debated in the social sciences. There is a need to understand how different ideas about the causes of health and ill health do not just suggest different kinds of interventions, but raise important questions for our understanding of contemporary society, processes of inclusion and exclusion, and ideas of personhood. What is the relationship between community, sustainability and health? And how can we develop new ways of understanding how social identity and disadvantage impact health in the context of a diverse and increasingly fluid world? How do shifts in the biosciences affect medical knowledge and practice, and what is the relationship between biomedicine, governing, and our ideas about ourselves and the family? And what are the major ethical and political dimensions of new forms of biomedical science and technology? In societies preoccupied with autonomy, independence, mobility and self-regulation who cares about those with long term complex social and health needs? How is health care organised and what are the political and personal consequences of how medical and health care, as vital life chances, are distributed?
Cardiff is one of the premier academic institutions in Britain and Europe for the social study of medicine and bioscience, and health and well-being. Our staff are at the forefront of health and medicine studies research. This degree programme is supported by two major research centres: first, The Cardiff Institute of Health and Ethics, and second, the Economic Social Research Council's Centre for the Social and Economic Aspects of Genomics. In addition, through the School's strong ties to both the School of Medicine and to Nursing and Health Studies, students have access to experts in all areas of health and medicine.
Degree candidates typically come from a wide range of countries, with very different experiences, and from a range of academic disciplines. This mix makes for an exciting and rich exchange of views, experiences and understandings. Graduates of the Cardiff programme go on to a variety of successful careers in academia, business, government, health services, international agencies, and non-governmental organisations.
The Health, Medicine and Illness specialism is offered within the MSc in Social Science Research Methods under the Sociology Pathway. This MSc provides an excellent preparation for research-based careers in the field of Health, Medicine and Society Studies. Applicants are welcome to take the MSc as a stand alone programme, either as a preparation for other study or as a post-experience qualification. Students may apply for ESRC funding to study the course as part of the '1+3' scheme or after successfully completing the course, can apply to the ESRC for '+3' funding.
The degree scheme is designed to meet the generic and subject specific requirements set out in the ESRC's postgraduate training guidelines.
To obtain the masters degree students must successfully complete taught courses to the value of 120 credits and a 20,000 word dissertation. The programme is divided into the following elements:
- Generic Methods modules: These modules are designed to meet the generic research methods training requirements of the ESRC. They provide a thorough grounding in core social science skills including philosophy of social science, research design and the collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data.
- Specialist Health, Medicine and Illness modules: These modules are designed to meet the specialist requirements of the ESRC's Sociology pathway. They provide a systematic introduction to the specific challenges and approaches found within the field of Health, Medicine and Illness Studies. Topics covered include key theoretical approaches in the social study of health and medicine, and practical issues arising from the investigation of complex, interdisciplinary topics. These include, the contemporary relationship between health, social identity and disadvantage; the impact of biosciences on medical practice, families and individuals; changing patterns and organisation of health care organization; and contemporary forms of medical dominance.
- Methods and Specialist options: These optional modules provide students with the chance to tailor the degree studies to their own research interests by developing additional skills in a particular methodological and/or substantive domain.
- Dissertation: Given the emphasis on research methods training throughout the scheme, the dissertation is a crucial element, giving students the opportunity to apply the methodological and analytic skills developed in the taught element of the scheme to a specific topic.

The New York Islanders dropped their sixth consecutive game Thursday night, falling to the Winnipeg Jets by a final of 3-0. During the six-game losing streak the Islanders have been outscored by a total of 20-7, including two 3-0 shutouts.
This loss drops the Isles record to 3-5-2 on the season, who sit in last place in the Atlantic division with eight points.
Islanders defenseman Travis Harmonic – who may have been fired up facing his hometown team, the Jets – dropped his gloves and fought with Jets Left Wing Evander Kane.
"I found a willing combatant in Evander Kane, he's a tough kid and I think he wanted to go as well, so I just tried to do it for those reasons," Harmonic said.
One of the lowlights for the Isles occurred when defenseman Andew MacDonald scored an own goal in the third period, expanding the Jets lead to two.
The Islanders will look to end their losing streak Saturday when they host the 8-2 Washington Capitals.
