News: Jay-Z Explains "Blueprint 3" Artwork, "These Are The Forgotten Things About Music" [Video]
Tuesday, Aug 4, 2009 5:49PM
Jay-Z has confirmed the released The Blueprint 3 album artwork as authentic and broke down the meaning behind its curious cover.
The rapper also explained the significance of the three red stripes over a collection of white instruments.
"These things are like the forgotten pieces in hip-hop," Hov said in an interview. "It's still about music. It's not about radio, making gimmicks -- it's still about making music. Those things are piled in the corner. These are the forgotten things about music...The three stripes that everybody is asking about is made from the original [number] three. The first three they made on the wall was someone carving. If you look at [the number] three, all they did was connect lines. The whole thing about this album, how I approached it, is that I wanted to make a new classic to start that all over again -- to go back to making classic albums like the ones we grew up listening to." (MTV)
Jay's album cover made headlines after landing online Monday (August 3) afternoon via www.jay-z.com.
Jay-Z posted the above image ? a cornucopia of white-painted instruments ? on his official Website today, which implies he?ll be using the graphic as the cover of his eagerly anticipated The Blueprint 3. The cover echoes BP3?s aesthetic, Jay?s reliance on live instruments ? he brought a 10-piece band with him for his All Points West performance ? as opposed to studio trickery, which Jigga officially declared ?D.O.A? with his first BP3 single. (Rolling Stone)
The rapper will also face competition from his former record label, Def Jam, which has plans to re-release the project's first two titles.
After 12 years on the label, Jay bought out his contract and decided to distribute Blueprint 3 through Atlantic Records. In an apparent effort to capitalize on the rapper's buzz and push his overall catalog scans with the label, Def Jam has decided to package Jay's Blueprint and Blueprint 2 in one unit called The Blueprint Collection. According to reports, the collection will be offered for sale at a discounted price and will include a collector's item poster. Def Jam has plans to keep their hand in Jay-Z's Blueprint pocket by repackaging the first two albums in the series for release on the same day as his Blueprint 3. (Yo Raps!)
Hov's new album has been confirmed to land in stores next month.
"Yeah, pretty much [it's done]," Jay revealed in an interview with DJ Drama earlier this month. "You know I still tweak it. 'PSA' was the last record I made on The Black Album and 'Give It To Me' was the last record I made on Dynasty. So, I'm always open to recording new records. It's pretty much done, it could go out the door right now. September 11th, the first date, it's the anniversary of the original one, of course it's a tragedy as well so we're going to be doing a lot of great things with charities and everything." (Hot 107.9)

The Philadelphia Flyers will be without the services of forward Daniel Briere for up to a month after he suffered a torn abdominal muscle in Wednesday's shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks.
''Danny has a slight tear in his reptus abdominis, which is a stomach muscle,'' said Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren. ''He will be out of the lineup approximately 3-4 weeks.''
Holmgren said that the 31-year-old Gatineau, Quebec native is slated to undergo surgery Saturday morning.
''I am surprised by the turn of events that happened today,'' said Briere. ''I hate missing time, but by being aggressive, I will be back soon.''
Signed to an eight-year, $52 million contract prior to last season, Briere currently leads the Flyers in scoring with three goals and four assists in six games.

Medal of Honor Warfighter might seem like any other shooter video game.
The only difference is maker EA Games paid seven active members of the elite Navy SEALs as consultants last summer while testing the game.
That could cost them everything.
"I'm sure that they knew on some level that they were probably wrong to do that, but they probably felt that they could fall into a gray area," said FOX5 Military Analyst Jonah Auer.
We had Auer, who served with the Green Berets for three years, play the game.
Although the Navy has cut half the SEALs' pay for two months, Auer believes more punishments will be on the way.
"The Department of Defense will come down stricter if they need to... they could possibly have their security clearance downgraded," Auer said.
The SEALs reportedly gave information on the equipment they use in order for designers to make the game more realistic.
Other SEALs believe the Navy overreacted after other leaks.
"It appears to me that they've just changed just changed the rules all of a sudden, like a knee-jerk, hair trigger reaction to the Mark Owen book No Easy Day with the accounts of the bin Laden raid," former member of SEAL Team Six Chris Heben told CNN.
One of those SEALs involved with Warfighter is Matt Bissonnette, the same man who wrote No Easy Day.
The game does not recreate the bin Laden raid, but it does portray other missions.
Still, Auer doesn't believe it can be used by an enemy force as a training tool, only because the information isn't that valuable.
"I'd say it's just a little bit of a stretch as far as just equipment in a video game," Auer said.

The Florida State football team is taking on Idaho this afternoon.
All eyes are already on FSU's star quarterback Jameis Winston, as he faces allegations of sexual assault on a fellow student.
Jameis Winston, arguably the most talked about college quarterback in the nation and some of it, for all the wrong reasons.
The 19 year old has been linked to an allegation of sexual assault, that occurred nearly a year ago.
The allegation has damaged the Heisman hopeful's reputation and turned the life of the alleged victim upside down.
Her attorney told CNN, quote "She was in classes at FSU. Exams were coming up. She had to leave school and come back home because of this."
Winston's lawyer says his client did not sexually assault the woman but he does acknowledge having consensual sex with her, and the lawyer confirms that Winston's DNA was found on her clothing.
"It infers...Uh oh, you've got DNA so you must have done something wrong or our the defense is shifting. I will tell you from day 1, December of 2012, our defense has not changed whatsoever. This DNA result had no effect on it. It had no effect on it, no effect on the testimony on the eyewitnesses that were there."
But, the victim's attorney completely denies Winston's claims.
In a statement, she wrote, quote, "To be clear, the victim did not consent. This was a rape."
The case began when the woman reported she had been sexually assaulted. A month later she accused Winston of the alleged rape. But about two months later, police say, she changed her mind.
"In February 2013 the case was classified as open, but inactive. When the victim in the case broke off contact with TPD and her attorney indicated she did not want to move forward at that time...Let me reiterate: The case was never closed."
In a statement, from the family of the alleged victim an attorney met with police.
The family says, quote "Detective Angulo told the attorney that Tallahassee was a big football town and the victim needs to think long and hard before proceeding against him because she will be raked over the coals and her life will be made miserable."
Detective Angulo has not returned CNN's request for comment, but the Tallahassee police deny wrongdoing.
The investigation grew more curious this week. Tallahassee's Police Chief at the time of the alleged incident tells CNN he was never told by his detectives there was a sexual assault investigation against Winston, while he was chief.
He told CNN, "I'd like to know why it didn't make it to me."
Jones said athletes are never given preferential treatment by police.
Florida State University told CNN it cannot comment on an open investigation.

Well, Mr. Bochy, you put in Eli Whiteside as a pinch runner for Buster Posey, saying after the game that Whiteside was more likely to score on a gapper, and that you also considered having Whiteside attempt to steal second base. In so doing, you replaced one of your best hitters with the worst hitter on the team.
I call bullshit on you, Mr. Bochy, and I call you out.Baseball cube has ratings on players' power, speed, patience, and other qualities and skills. I don't know how they get these numbers, but I really doubt they came from the daydreams of Joe Morgan. They give Buster Posey a speed rating of 41, not exactly blazing, I admit. But they give Whiteside a pathetic 18. (Higher is better, Mr. Bochy)
So, Mr. Bochy, why is Baseball cube wrong, SO WRONG on this issue? Can you show us some rebuttal data? or did you just make a stupid move, have a brain fart, think Bengie Molina was still your starting catcher? It matters, you know, to try to keep a good hitter in the game and keep a spare catcher. And it matters that the manager pays attention to the game and knows the capabilities of his players and can realistically anticipate the game situations that might come up. A "gapper" is pretty ambiguous, but I'd like to know whether or not you consider having Eli Whiteside try to steal second base as a serious option, going forward. Is that really what you're going to do? are you aware that in his professional career, Eli Whiteside has been successful in stealing only 10 out of 25 times? and that's in the MINOR leagues, basically. What traditional baseball wisdom did your "Eli steals second" come from? or what modern stat-driven idea inspires it? I'd really like to know what justified taking out one of your best hitters for your worst hitter. If you really wanted to try to steal second base with a catcher, what about Posey's 7 out of 9 successful steals? Is Baseball Reference wrong on the stolen base/ caught stealing numbers for Posey and Whiteside? What are the REAL numbers YOU were going by, Mr. Bochy?
Or did you just make up that ridiculous statement to cover your butt? Are you tryin to mess with Posey's head? are you "acting out" over the trade of Bengie Molina?
Put up or shut up, Mr. Bochy. I'm callin you out.
I'd like to know that the guy in charge of the team I pay $300 to take my family to see, actually knows what he's doing. I 'd like to know that he's not acting out of ignorance or spite or foolishness or not paying attention or not using the available data or not listening to anybody else. Specifically I'd like to know that the man that Mr. Sabean leaves in charge of the team is not just trying to fuck with Buster Posey, cause I don't think that's what Mr. Sabean would want you to do. Or am I wrong? Mr. Sabean?
You can ignore my call out. You can see bloggers as fly specks on your windshield. All I can do is keep my next $300 for other family entertainment. But don't be surprised when you start seeing those fans who do pay money, start putting paper bags over their heads instead of buying Panda hats.

It's time to think about it. Spring blossoms will be here sooner than we realize. Although the first pollens are weeks away, now might be a good time to prepare the immune system for the springtime onslaught collectively called "hay fever." Honey of a deal. People have been using honey medicinally for thousands of years. Vials of honey found in the pyramids were perfectly edible when found five thousand years later. Pure honey does not spoil. It may naturally crystallize but gentle, low heat will bring it back to its liquid state. Many people find that using honey in the springtime is a natural way to avoid allergies.

The Northampton Area School Board will see new and familiar faces after the election as several board members chose not to seek re-election and a former member is on the ballot.
* * *
* * *
The Northampton Area School Board will see new and familiar faces after the election as several board members chose not to seek re-election and a former member is on the ballot.
Both Richard Anthony and Leo McCloskey chose not to run for re-election for Region I, which includes Allen and Lehigh townships. Former board member Peter P. Schneider Jr. and newcomer Barbara Toth are virtually assured seats on the board as they are the only candidates. Schneider, a registered Democrat, cross-filed.
In Region II, Northampton borough, incumbents Edward Daumer and Richard Heberling also have no opposition.
In Region III, which takes in Bath and Chapman boroughs, East Allen and Moore townships, there are races. Incumbents Robert Nyce and Donald Saul face each other on the Republican ballot and Nyce faces Kenneth Smith on the Democratic ballot.
Region I - Schneider, 38, of 524 Longacre Drive, Cherryville, is employed in the Human Resources Department at Air Products and Chemicals, Wescosville. He represented Northampton borough on the board for six years, until he moved to Lehigh Township in 1986. He and wife Kari are the parents of two children.
Schneider cited the continuing rise in the cost of education, the population explosion in the district and the quality of education as main issues the district must address.
He said retirees and those on fixed income still make up a large percentage of the district residents and "we have to keep pressing the state for new and better ways to fund the budget."
Schneider said the population explosion is a more immediate concern, noting that redistricting should be considered to ease overcrowding in buildings. He expressed concern over the drop in college board scores, saying there should be a program offered to students to prepare for the test. He said the district should not go overboard in offerings to students, "just go the extra mile to prepare them. They will learn from it."
Toth, 40, of 4086 Cedar Drive, Walnutport, is a registered Republican. She and her husband Ronald have one son. She is a first-time candidate and is not employed.
Toth said of the major issues, "My main concern is the students and for them to get the best education. We seem to need more guidance in careers, to help them decide which way to go."
She added, "Of course, I am concerned with the drug and alcohol problem. I have been involved with the drug and alcohol task force, and I think the school has been very innovative on those matters. I would like to see that continue. I see our school heading in the right direction and I would like to see it continue on the course it is going."
Region II - Daumer, a registered Democrat of 2219 Main St., is retired from Tama Manufacturing Co., Northampton, and is seeking re-election to a four-year term. He served 18 years on Northampton Borough Council and is seeking re-election for a second term on the board. He and wife Marjorie are the parents of two children.
Heberling, 42, of 306 Howertown Road, is seeking re-election for a two- year term. He is a registered Democrat and is employed at Bethlehem Steel Corp. He was appointed to the board in 1984 to fill the vacancy created when Frank Yandrisevits was elected to the State House of Representative s. Heberling and his wife Nancy are the parents of four children.
Heberling said that one of the major issues could be growth. "If it continues as it is going, we are going to have a problem." He said, "another issue that will arise is the contract with the professional staff," the current pact with teachers is a two-year one.
Region III - Smith, 45, of 385 Pool Road, Beersville, is a registered Democrat and first-time candidate. He is a member of the Bath Jaycees and Bethany Weslyan Church, Cherryville. He is employed by Trans Bridge Bus Lines. Smith, a former school bus driver, has stated that over the years he has heard a lot of things from students and thinks he has something to contribute.
Nyce, 42, of 7416 Carol Lane, East Allen Township, is a registered Republican seeking a second term. He is the board vice president and president of the joint committee of the Bethlehem Area Vocational-Technical School Board. He is assistant vice president for tax and accounting at Chrysler First, Allentown.
Nyce said, "Curriculum and educating the students to meet the demands of society and growth are the major issues confronting the district. We have to have an educational program so when the students come out they are adequately educated to meet the demands of society. We have taken many steps in that direction and we have to continue the process. The community seems adequately satisfied."
In regards to growth he said, "Nobody has a crystal ball. But we can see the community is exploding. We have to be prepared and take a close look at what is happening. The physical plant will have to control the designated attendance areas. We have no choice. We must fully utilize the existing buildings."

A former general and veteran of Guatemala's civil war placed first — but did not secure a majority — in the first round of presidential elections Sunday. According to reports, Otto Perez Molina of the conservative Patriotic Party placed ahead of business executive Manuel Baldizon and is expected to beat him again in a second round come November. Molina has benefited from identifying himself strongly with mano dura (or iron fist) politics as a means to fight criminals. Baldizon, also conservative, is likewise a strong proponent of tough-on-crime measures, but has differentiated himself from Molina through economic populism.
There's a reason mano dura can be smart politics — to a point. Guatemala is one of the most dangerous countries in Latin America and crime is getting worse. As a prime transit zone for drugs traveling from South America to Mexico and then into the United States, the country has been flooded with drug money, bases for narcotics and armed gangsters like the Zetas. "The main challenge for whoever wins may be building confidence in a state described by Guatemalans as a caricature, a failure, a shame or nonexistent," reported The New York Times, adding that in the northern city of Coban, where drug violence is endemic, "many residents said that any attempted solution from the government, including a stronger military, would either never happen, or be blunted by the rich or criminals."
Brazilian federal police and Paraguayan marines apparently engaged in a firefight with each other along the two countries' border last week. There are conflicting accounts on both sides regarding what happened, exactly, but it seems to have involved confusion in heavy fog (one theory), or even possible collusion between elements of the Paraguayan military and drug traffickers.
Sometime Friday evening, a Brazilian police patrol boat attempted to seize two boats loaded with illegal drugs moving toward Brazilian territory along the Parana River, which comprises a section of the Brazil-Paraguay border. Paraguayan marines on the opposite shore then allegedly directed "high-caliber fire" at the police, which prompted the police to return fire at the Paraguayans. The smugglers slipped back into Paraguay during the forty-minute firefight, which was witnessed by hundreds of civilians at the nearby Friendship Bridge border crossing.
The Paraguayan military denies its forces were involved. However, given the depth of smuggling along the tri-border area of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay plus a history of "criminal links between military officials in Paraguay and organized crime," analysts suggest the firefight could mark a data point in criminal infiltration of the Paraguayan military, and could potentially complicate Brazil's security plans before the 2014 World Cup.
A new round of clashes between demonstrators and U.N. peacekeepers erupted on Wednesday following allegations five Uruguayan soldiers kidnapped and raped a Haitian man last month. Video of the assault filmed by the soldiers was later leaked to a reporter and distributed on the internet. "The soldiers — they accept their guilt," Major General Luiz Ramos said, the Brazilian commander of MINUSTAH, the U.N.'s Haiti peacekeeping contingent. "It's unacceptable behaviour, of course. I'd like to mention that as Force Commander. It's not exactly what you expect from peacekeepers."
Uruguayan President Jose Mujica apologized for the soldiers' "criminal and embarrassing" behavior. The assault aggravated tensions between Haitians and the U.N. force, who are treated by a not-insignificant section of the public as unwanted occupiers. The country experienced unrest late last year after a major cholera outbreak was traced back to Nepalese troops.
The Uruguayan soldiers in this case were arrested and repatriated and their battalion commander sacked. "Under the UN's Zero Tolerance Policy for sexual abuse, the peacekeepers were repatriated after a quick investigation. That's the way it is supposed to work," Mark Leon Goldberg wrote at U.N. Dispatch. "The problem now is that there is absolutely no way for the UN to guarantee that the accused will be properly investigated and prosecuted by Uruguayan authorities."

The 1947 UFO controversy of Roswell, N.M. is like a bad penny: It keeps turning up.
The legend, rehashed by conspiracy theorists in countless documentaries, revolves around allegations that an unusual object fell from the sky -- an object so bizarre that the U.S. Air Force issued a press release that a flying saucer had crashed.
That story was quickly recanted, creating what would become one of the greatest urban legends in American history.
Until now, most debunkers doubted that there was even one crash. Now, in an exclusive interview, retired Air Force Lt. Col. Richard French told The Huffington Post that there were actually two crashes.
This revelation is especially remarkable considering that French was known in the past to debunk UFO stories.
"There were actually two crashes at Roswell, which most people don't know," French told HuffPost. "The first one was shot down by an experimental U.S. airplane that was flying out of White Sands, N.M., and it shot what was effectively an electronic pulse-type weapon that disabled and took away all the controls of the UFO, and that's why it crashed."
French -- an Air Force pilot who was in Alamagordo, N.M., in 1947, being tested in an altitude chamber, an annual requirement for rated officers -- was very specific in how the military allegedly brought down what he believes was a spacecraft from another world.
"When they hit it with that electromagnetic pulse -- bingo! -- there goes all their electronics and, consequently, the UFO was uncontrollable," said French, who flew hundreds of combat missions in Korea and Southeast Asia, and who held several positions working for Military Intelligence.
Another retired officer doubts French's story.
"No chance! Zero chance!" said Army Col. John Alexander, whose own top-secret clearance gave him access in the 1980s to official documents and UFO accounts. He created a top-level group of government officials and scientists who determined that, while UFOs are real, they couldn't find evidence of an official cover-up.
"In the 1980s, I was the guy developing all of the pulse-power weapons systems. We couldn't have done it then. In the 60s, they had a laser system, but your range was extremely limited, and we didn't have operational laser weapons in that time frame," said Alexander, who is working to get amnesty for military personnel who wish to talk about their UFO experiences.
Except for the initial newspaper headline declaring the military had captured a flying saucer outside of Roswell, the Air Force closed the books on Roswell, claiming that the true identity of the object was a high-altitude surveillance balloon, code-named "Mogul."
But after eyewitnesses -- including numerous military personnel -- began to tell stories of their participation in an alleged cover-up of the Roswell incident, some researchers insisted that it was, in fact, an alien ship that crashed at Roswell.
Watch this video of Ret. Air Force Lt. Col. Richard French
French says he was told about the UFO "shootdown" by another military officer -- a confidential source -- from White Sands Proving Grounds, an area of the New Mexico desert where the U.S. military tested many weapons systems.
His source told French there was a second UFO crash near Roswell a few days after the first one.
"It was within a few miles of where the original crash was," French said. "We think that the reason they were in there at that time was to try and recover parts and any survivors of the first crash. I'm [referring to] the people from outer space -- the guys whose UFO it was."
While French offered no further details on what he says was a second UFO crash, he teased something else.
"I had seen photographs of parts of the UFO that had inscriptions on it that looked like it was in an Arabic language -- it was like a part number on each one of them. They were photographs in a folder that I just thumbed through."
That's an interesting parallel to the recent story of ex-CIA agent Chase Brandon, who claimed he found a box at CIA headquarters in the 1990s -- a box labeled "Roswell."
Brandon told HuffPost he looked in the box and went through written materials and photographs confirming his suspicions that the object which crashed at Roswell, "was a craft that clearly did not come from this planet."
That story set off a fury of controversy between those who believed and didn't believe Brandon's story.
Watch this 1997 news report on the Air Force's 'Case Closed: Final Report on the Roswell Crash'
And now we have French, who served more than 27 years in the military, including as an investigator and debunker for the Air Force's famous study of UFOs, known as Project Blue Book, which began in 1947.
"I'm one of the authors of Project Blue Book, and started with the Air Force Office of Special Investigations, stationed in Spokane, Wash. One of the duties I had in 1952 was to debunk UFO stories," French said.
"In other words, if someone had a UFO sighting, I and another agent would try to come up with some logical explanation for this strange aerial appearance. Most of the reports were from civilians than military. We gave our analysis and tried to debunk it by saying it was swamp fog or that the thing they saw was actually hanging on wires. It went up through channels all the way to the presidential level."
But why was French ordered to debunk UFO reports in the first place?
"They never give you an explanation, but I'll tell you what my analysis of it is: If they accepted the fact that there are creatures coming to Earth from other universes or from wherever, it basically would destroy religions, and the fact that our military's helpless against them would destroy the reputation of the military," French said. "You're talking about military, national defense and religious reasons."
As it often turns out with eye-opening UFO stories, it comes down to who you believe.
Antonio Huneeus is a 30-year veteran UFO investigative reporter who recently spent time with French and is trying to uncover more facts about the information the former Military Intelligence officer would have us believe.
"We did a search and found his name on an official Air Force page that confirmed he was a combat pilot, but that page had nothing to do with UFOs," Huneeus, editor of Open Minds Magazine, told HuffPost.
"My reservations are about some of the claims that he makes, and because of his age, his memory isn't as good as it used to be," Huneeus said. "It's clear to me that he's fairly well read on the subject of UFOs, or he might have heard stories or talked to people. So, I'm trying to separate exactly what he lived and saw directly from what he heard and read."
Sixty years after French began investigating UFOs for Project Blue Book, he still thinks there's a cover-up.
"It's going on today. There's no question about it. I've listened to their denials many times and, at that time, I was in direct opposition to their position. In my mind, there wasn't any question that UFOs were real."
UFO Over Mojave Desert Sept. 9, 1985
This cigar-shaped UFO was photographed by general aviation pilot David Hastings as he piloted a Cessna Skymaster plane over the Mojave Desert on Sept. 9, 1985. There has never been an indication of hoax in this case, which remains unexplained to this day.
UFO Over Holloman Base
An unidentified flying object was photographed by a government employee over the Holloman Air Development Center in New Mexico in 1964. Conspiracy theorists have claimed the photo is proof that the U.S. government has been in contact with aliens.
Strange objects over France
While descending an Austrian mountain in 1954, photographer Erich Kaiser captured an image of what he called mysterious silvery-white flying objects.
Mexican Air Force Pilots Video
Mexican Air Force pilots filmed strange, brightly lit objects that moved quickly in the skies on March 5, 2004. Some scientists said the phenomenon could have been caused by gases in the atmosphere.
America's most infamous UFO case centers in Roswell, N.M. Some people claimed an alien spacecraft crashed there in 1947; the military said it was a weather balloon.
Roswell dummies
The Air Force issued "The Roswell Report" in 1997. Countering claims that aliens were recovered at the New Mexico site, the report said military officials picked up 200-pound dummies, above, that were used in an experiment.
Alien in Brazil
Video grab close up. What looks like an alien creature with visible head, neck, arms and body standing in the Brazilian rainforest in Manaus, Brazil. In this Amaz-alien footage, a lone unidentified being appears to stand in the jungle of Brazil -- even arching its back -- just feet away from a bright flashing blue light. In what some allege as proof that Earth is being visited by aliens from another planet, the video was obtained by paranormal writer Mike Cohen who says the video was taken by two British tourists visiting the Manaus region of the Amazon jungle.
Crop Circle in Yogyakarta, Indonesia
A large circle and geometric pattern local residents say were created by a UFO appeared in a rice field in Krasakan hamlet in Sleman, Yogyakarta, on the morning of Jan. 23, 2011.
Stan Romanek film
Stan Romanek claimed that this still image from a three-minute video he shot in 2003 shows an alien looking into his home in Nebraska. In the film, a strange face appears to be popping up and down outside Romanek's window.
Sketch of UFO sighting
This eyewitness drawing of an alleged UFO sighting is in one of 19 once-secret files posted to the British National Archives website. The files cover sightings reported between 1986 and 1992. Although many of the reports were debunked, some remain unexplained.
France field markings
An investigator in 1989 measures markings that some said were left behind by a UFO in Normandy, France. France began releasing its "X-Files" on UFO sightings in 2007.
President Jimmy Carter
President Jimmy Carter, shown here in 1971, reported that he saw a UFO above Leary, Ga., in 1969. He filed a report about the sighting to the International UFO Bureau in 1973.
Astronaut Gordon Cooper
Astronaut Gordon Cooper, who piloted Mercury and Gemini space missions in the 1960s, once said he saw a "typical saucer shape, double-cylindrical shape, metallic" UFO. He was also outspoken on the idea that some UFOs were interplanetary vehicles visiting Earth.

Site member and owner of a new Silverstone II M5 (F10) shares with us some photos of his new beast, along with some emotional words on his experience so far with the new M5. Read on to see what a Ferrari F430 owner thinks of BMW's newest F10 M5 model.
Well respected automotive reviewer Chris Harris drives the F10 M5 and the Nissan GT-R. He admits that the two are not really rival cars, but what's important is that the two are both great cars he enjoyed immensely (just look at his reaction), and in which he appreciated every mile and every minute.
Site member clar, owner of both a frozen grey F10 M5 and E92 M3, has now completed run-in / break in on his new M5 and is able to give a proper performance review and comparison of his M5 versus M3.
See this excellent review inside as clar covers power, steering, handling, and more of his two M cars.
European Car reviews the new BMW M5 F10, which they call BMW's twin turbo superhero. Their conclusion? The new M5 is every bit as tractable as the E60 M5 and its chassis and brakes are flat out superior. Unlike the E60 M5, the new M5 is more user friendly.
Ben Barry at CAR magazine was apparently on Santa's good-boys list as he's currently driving a F10 M5 long term tester. And although he's only had a few hundred miles behind the seat of this new M5, that's more than nearly anyone else who's not a BMW employee. So what's Ben got to say about the M5 so far? Let's have a look.

- A Desk That Transforms Into A Bed
- Posted 8 months ago by Jack Lowe · Art & Design · 11046 Views
As a lot of us know, one of the major problems of living in a big city is dealing with the high rents and the lack of space. Faced with this, designers are coming up with increasingly innovative space-saving ideas.
The latest comes from German company BLESS, who has created a desk which has the ability to transform into a bed, providing an environment for two separate functions - work and sleep. With the push of a single button, the desktop unlocks from the frame and flips over to become a single bed, making it perfect for crashing after a late-night work session. There's also plenty of room underneath and additional shelves and drawers at the sides.

Becomes one of the first major ad sellers to support opt-out standard.
Wide adoption of Do-Not-Track isn't just about slapping a button on web browsers. Even after Chrome, Safari, Firefox and IE support user-imposed limits on ad tracking, publishers must honor the DNT signals their browsers will generate when individuals choose to opt out.
With the ad sector, Federal Trade Commission, and U.S. Commerce Department officially throwing their weight behind Do-Not-Track, big ad sellers are obliged to get serious about honoring those requests.
Among the first to do so is Yahoo, which said today it has begun rolling out global support for the DNT standard, and expects to complete the process by early summer.
Here's how it works: When someone with DNT activated visits any site where Yahoo has data collection in place, a signal is sent to Yahoo's servers. This could happen via a Yahoo-owned site or network partner. Once the opt-out is set, the request will apply to all future interactions with Yahoo, so long as the user doesn't switch browsers.
"When our servers receive the DNT signal, this activates our existing opt-out process. With DNT turned on, Yahoo! will no longer score your activities for advertising or content interests and no longer personalize your ads and content based on those interest scores," Shane Wiley, VP of privacy and data governance, wrote in a blog post today.
Several Yahoo platforms and properties already honor DNT signals, among them Right Media, Interclick, and some individual Yahoo properties. A DNT opt-out triggered through any of these channels is honored across the Yahoo network.
Yahoo has been early to adopt other self-regulatory efforts. Three years ago, it created an Ad Interest Manager, giving users transparency and control over their profiles for behavioral targeting and data collection. And it claims to have been the first to incorporate the AdChoices behavioral ad icon during 2010.
Stuart Ingis, counsel to the Digital Advertising Alliance, which oversees the AdChoices program, said in a statement, "We support the Yahoo! efforts announced today to meet the DAA commitment made at the White House in February… We look forward to the others in DAA honoring browser based choice as an additional means of honoring consumer choice in accordance with DAA Principles."

The Vancouver Canucks are a professional National Hockey League (NHL) ice hockey team based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
In 1945 the Pacific Coast Hockey League established an ice hockey franchise in the city of Vancouver. Known as the Canucks, they immediately enjoyed success by winning PCHL championships in their first (1946) and third (1948) year of existence. In 1952, the PCHL merged with the Western Canada Senior Hockey League to form the professional Western Hockey League.
In 1965, when the NHL announced plans to expand to six additional markets, the owner of the WHL's Canucks, Fred Hume, announced that the city of Vancouver would apply. However, the presentation to the NHL's Board of Governors was sloppily prepared. Because of this, and the fact that the Vancouver ownership group was disliked by Detroit Red Wing owner Bruce Norris and Toronto Maple Leaf coowner Stafford Smythe (who hated Vancouver in general because of a failed arena plan), the application did not succeed. Nevertheless, the Pacific Coliseum, which was to be the first home for a prospective Vancouver NHL team, was built on the grounds of the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE).
In 1970, another Vancouver ownership group bought the Canucks and, after much negotiating, joined the NHL for the price of $6 million.
The Canucks were 1975 Smythe Division champions, but were mediocre overall for the first decade of their NHL existence.
In 1982 the Canucks had a decent regular season, but they became the Cinderella story of the playoffs and made it all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals for the first time in franchise history. However, the Canucks were defeated in 4 games by the New York Islanders. After their incredible Stanley Cup run, the Canucks slipped back into mediocrity for the rest of the 1980s.
In 1994, the Canucks made their second trip to the finals, entering that year's playoffs as the seventh seed in the Western Conference. The Canucks had what could be characterized as an off year during the regular season, but got their game together during the playoffs, beating rival Calgary Flames in the first round in an incredible seven-game series. The Canucks went on to defeat the Dallas Stars and Toronto Maple Leafs before meeting the New York Rangers in the Finals. The Canucks won Game 1 3-2 in OT, because of goaltender Kirk McLean's 52-save performance. The Canucks lost Game Seven in the finals by a score of 3-2 in what many hockey analysts consider one of the closest and most exciting Stanley Cup finals in NHL history.
After the Canucks' incredible 1994 run, they continued to be a force for the next two seasons, adding Alexander Mogilny to the roster via trade to further improve their offense. In the 1997 off-season, the Canucks made a big move and signed Mark Messier from the Rangers. This move was thought to be the final piece of the puzzle in getting the Canucks back to the finals. However, this was not the case as the Canucks missed the playoffs for the rest of the decade.
In 2001 the Canucks got a new general manager, Brian Burke, and coach Marc Crawford and they immediately started to rebuild their team and the team returned to the playoffs in 2001. However, since 1994, the Canucks have not yet achieved significant playoff success, failing to achieve victory in the second round.
The 2005-06 season began with much promise, with some hockey analysts picking the Canucks as Stanley Cup favorites. However, the Canucks completed the regular season in a disappointing 9th place in their Conference — narrowly missing a playoff position to the Edmonton Oilers.
On April 25th, 2006, the Canucks fired coach Marc Crawford and on June, 20 2006 Alain Vigneault was hired as his replacement. On September 12, 2006, the Philadelphia Flyers offered restricted free agent Ryan Kesler a one-year, $1.9 million dollar contract, forcing the Canucks to either match the offer or lose the rights to Kesler. Kesler, the Canucks' first round draft pick in 2003, scored 10 goals and had 13 assists in 82 games for the Canucks in 2005-2006. The offer itself is considered high for a young player with relatively low-stats, and Bobby Clarke, the General Manager of the Flyers, has drawn criticism for the move but the Canucks matched the offer on September 14, 2006.

Poll shows Obama leads in three swing states
- Written by Eric Mayes
- Published in News Headlines
President has 9-point margin in Pa.
President Barack Obama holds a significant lead over his Republican adversary Mitt Romney in three swing states, including Pennsylvania, according to a Quinnipiac/CBS/NY Times poll released this week.
The poll also shows that while likely voters are split on which candidate would do the most to help the economy, most have a more sympathetic view of Obama and prefer his policies.
"If today were Nov. 6, … Obama would sweep the key swing states of Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania and — if history is any guide — into a second term in the Oval Office," said Peter A. Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
With a nine-point margin, Pennsylvanians showed the most support for Obama with likely voters, choosing Obama 53 percent to 42 percent for Romney. Obama carried Pennsylvania in 2008.
Similarly, Obama led Romney in Ohio with 50 percent of voters standing behind the president and 44 percent supporting Romney. In Florida, Obama led 51 to Romney's 45 percent. Obama also carried Ohio and Florida in 2008.
No candidate since 1960 has won the White House without winning at least two of the three.
Brown said an improving economy gave Obama an edge.
'The president is running better in the key swing states than he is nationally,' he said. 'Part of the reason may be that the unemployment rate in Ohio is well below the national average. In Florida, it has been dropping over the past year, while nationally that has not been the case.'
In a deeper look at the trends influencing the presidential contest, the poll also asked participants to rate the two men's policies and gauge their emotional response to each.
In all three states, essentially Romney broke even with the president when participants were asked who would do better handling the economy.
In Pennsylvania, 48 percent said Obama would do better compared to 44 for Romney. The margin in Ohio was narrower, with 46 percent saying Obama would do a better job with the economy compared to 45 for Romney. In Florida, Romney edged out the president 47 percent to 45.
'The saving grace for … Romney is that he roughly breaks even with the president on who is best on the economy,' Brown said.
Majorities in each of the three states supported the president's plan to raise taxes on incomes over $250,000. Poll findings showed support at 58 - 37 percent in Florida, 60 - 37 percent in Ohio and 62 - 34 percent in Pennsylvania.
"Obama is ahead by just about every measure in the Keystone State. He's got a double-digit lead; his voters seem more committed to him, and Pennsylvanians like him more,' said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute.
Obama's policies would hurt rather than help them, Pennsylvania voters said 37 to 23 percent, while 37 percent see no difference. Romney would hurt rather than help, voters told pollsters 32 to 26 percent, while 37 percent saw no difference.
Pennsylvanians gave Obama higher favorability ratings.
Obama received a 53 to 42 percent favorability rating, while Romney garnered a negative 39 to 47 percent favorability rating.
Among Obama voters, 59 percent strongly favor him while 33 percent like him with reservations and 7 percent say their vote is against Romney. Among Romney voters, 41 percent strongly favor him while 37 percent like him with reservations and 22 percent say they are voting against Obama.
Pennsylvania women voters back Obama 59 to 35 percent, while men go 50 percent for Romney and 47 percent for Obama. Independent voters back Obama 58 - 36 percent.
In another political note, the same poll found that more Pennsylvanians disapprove of Gov. Tom Corbett than approve with a disapproval rating of 45 to 38 percent.

Total Bounty is proud to be the sponsor of the WordPress Text Message Plugin, a free plugin in the official WordPress repository.
The web has extended to cell phones in such a way that most people begin their search for just about anything on a mobile device or cell phone first. There are billions of text messages sent out each and every day, and it would only make sense that WordPress websites should be able to send out updates via SMS text rather than email (if that was preferred for the user).
SMS texting is a little more personal than email, and if you have a relationship with a person – such as a non-profit, professional association, club, school, or membership website would – this is a feature you truly need to stay connected to people. What better way to update them then on their personal mobile device?
Once you install the WordPress text message plugin you can add a signup form either in a widget or in a page or post using a shortcode:
The plugin has some great options, like the ability to notify subscribers each time a new post is published, and / or when specific pages are updated (click image for full size):
It also (now) sends out messages in batches, and you can set the number of emails sent out to SMS gateways in the options page. There's also a new sub-heading for "queue" so you can see messages waiting to go out to subscribers.
*New in Version 2.08*: Added unsubscribe functionality which include a new widget and shortcode.
Now you can use these shortcodes in pages and posts:
You can have the register and unsubscription shortcodes on the same (or differrent) pages.
We also have 2 widgets now, one for subscribe, and one for unsubscribe – OR – you can check the box for "integration with unsubscribe" on the register widget to have ajax unsubscribe functionality from your website.
We added a "redirect" setting on the options page for the plugin, so you can redirect users to a particular page or post after they signup (if you want).
We also fixed a few bugs, and removed some unnecessary files.
*New in Version 2.06*: Now (for the first time), you can edit, modify, delete, or add cell phone carriers to the plugin from the "Carriers" sub-menu of the plugin. By default the plugin is installed with US based cell phone providers. You can remove or add to those cell carriers for your specific geolocation. This means that now it can be used in any country worldwide for international use on WordPress websites!
We have compiled PDF list of SMS carrriers worldwide (more than 325+), if you don't know the carrier gateways for your country or location.

Sometimes people aren't very logical. Say you have a logjam at SF, your championship window is just starting to open and you decide to risk the future of the franchise going all-in for $50M on a pizza-addicted, aging guy from Turkey who would need to take the ball out of Roy's hands to have any effectiveness. Just say.
There is little doubt many decisions humans make lack logical consistency. It's been shown that the big decisions we make and the tiny decisions we make are usually equally horrible.
Studies show that people make very sound decisions when the decisions are 1) important enough for them to think about and 2) the decisions concern values they commonly deal with and are comfortable with. For instance, a corporate board commonly charged with making decisions with money ranging from $20K to $5M is usually skilled in making decisions within that range. Ask them how to spend $100 and they won't see the point in responding. More interesting, faced with a $50M decision, they won't know how to analyze the situation. They will start to dream, go on gut, or take existing data at face value. The decision isn't in their wheelhouse. If they get a hit, it will be more luck or perhaps talent than skill, though boardrooms tends to squelch talent.
But I'm not here to talk about He-dos and He-donuts. Instead, I want to talk about he saids and he saids.
It is no surprise to me that Andre Miller is confused with his role on this team. One interview quotes Nate as saying there is open competition at the 1, 3 and 5. The next time he's quoted as saying the starting unit he used last year is what he's going with this season. That kind of logical inconsistency is hard to resolve unless you understand how power works.
I am a Nate fan. I think he is great for this young team. But left with the freedom most coaches are a cult of personality naturally develops where your thoughts are right because they're your thoughts, not because they're sound, well-thought out, or based on the data. And might isn't necessarily right.
I doubt that Nate is playing Phil Jackson in this scenario. But maybe he is sending Miller a message. 'This is my team. Players on this team follow my rules. If you want to play, you have to pay your dues and earn your spot.'
This makes some sense. More sense maybe if it was a battlefield and not a basketball team. Where this sort of messaging really starts to break down is when Miller is not given credit for the dues he's already paid in a long and productive career with the league. This guy is not a rookie. He knows how to play. Early evidence suggests that he knows the Blazers offensive sets and defensive schemes better than many players who were here last year. Miller wasn't hired for his athletic dominance. He was hired for his basketball IQ.
Maybe it's time for Nate to show more flexibility and respect -- and maybe to demonstrate a better understanding regarding the power of his words. I am not saying he should necessarily start Miller. There might be sound basketball reasons to bring him off the bench. Though, like many here, I think the idea that Nate will ever platoon players like Dunleavy did is not proven out by Nate's history as a bench coach -- another logical inconsistency.
What I would like is for the team to step forward and openly support Miller as a player, a man, and for what he could mean to the franchise. I would like Nate to consider again whether his thinking is sound.
In three years, with so many great players in mid-career under longterm contracts, I don't think Nate's current approach will be the right one to lead these men. And I don't think it's fair to Miller right now.

DANVERS — At Debby Marticio's house, the phone has been ringing off the hook with calls from those in need seeking a free Thanksgiving meal.
As in years past, the former Ma Duke's restaurant owner and her family are gearing up to cook 1,000 to 1,500 free Thanksgiving meals with all the fixings, most of them to be delivered in and around the North Shore.
"We have 700 meals already (to be delivered)," said Lisa Mahoney, Marticio's daughter, who worked for her mother for six years.
Marticio and her family are cooking and serving the meals at the American Legion Post 227 on River Street in Middleton. Meals will also go to people in Beverly, Gloucester, Ipswich, Salem and Lynn, among other communities, Mahoney said. The family has even received a request to make 75 meals for homeless veterans in Manchester, N.H. The Danvers Treatment Center is scheduled to get 150 meals, and the Inn Transition housing program for those in recovery in Peabody will also get meals.
They also plan to deliver meals to homeless families being sheltered by the state in Danvers' budget motels, Marticio said.
Marticio said plans are to prep the food from noon to midnight the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. Cooking starts at 5 a.m. on Thanksgiving, and the meals will be served starting at 10 a.m. She estimates she has 100 volunteers to help out, but she could always use more.
"I could use more people for delivery, especially Thanksgiving day starting at 10:30 or 11" in the morning, Marticio said.
One of the greatest needs is cash, Marticio said. She estimates the meals will cost $15,000, and so far, she has raised about half of that. A raffle held earlier this month at the Onion Town Grill netted $800, helping to defray the costs. Her expenses include $2,000 for paper goods, $2,000 for produce, and she may have to buy 40 to 50 turkeys. She estimated it will take 150 birds to feed everyone.

Reviewing your memories, heh? Heard to dissed your fans because your BF told you to. If you don't want me people to remember you in a positive way, keep dissing everybody and you will lose fans quickly. Maybe that is what your BF wants, only he should be recognized in public and you are to just be his B. Well, keep remembering your memories becuase before long if your BF has anything to say about it, your memories will be all you will have left for people to remeber you by. C

2012 is in the books, but the UFC will be back to promoting cards just 19 days into 2013. And with five cards in six weeks leading into the end of February, there will be plenty of fights to bet on. We've covered most of the big ones on the site as they've popped up, but a flood of new ones popped up over the holiday season and a couple of them are pretty nice. So let's take a look at what's new in the world of UFC betting.
The Michael Bisping vs. Vitor Belfort line has been out for a while now (Belfort is still a slight favorite), but there is now a line available for a heavyweight bout on the card - Ben Rothwell vs. Gabriel Gonzaga:
I like Gonzaga here, especially at that price. GG really only fades when he gets tagged hard, and while Rothwell does have some power (think Brendan Schaub asking the heavens for help), he's going to have a tough time connecting on the big Brazilian. I'd bet on Gonzaga all the way to -180 or so.
There are two new fights to bet on. Alistair Overeem is unsurprisingly a big favorite over Antonio Silva, while on Fitch is a semi-small favorite over Demian Maia:
I wouldn't bet either of these to be honest, though Overeem at -305 has value if you're willing to risk a lot for a small return. I fully expected him to be around -450, and he's as high as -380 on some sites already. The line on Fitch/Maia actually looks about right.
The exciting bantamweight rematch between Urijah Faber and Ivan Menjivar now has a line, and Faber's a huge favorite:
At first glance I'm tempted to throw a flier on Menjivar at that price, but a deeper examination reveals that it's probably a bad bet. Faber's bread and butter are his wrestling and submission defense, and it's going to be very tough for Menjivar to stop him or win a decision. I'd stay away from this.
There are some more new lines for bouts in March, but I think I'll save them for a separate article tomorrow. Until then, happy new year everyone.
