New subpoenas seek to unravel NJ bridge scandal
TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — Four people from the agency that runs bridges and tunnels between New Jersey and New York have been subpoenaed in the investigation of a traffic jam scandal that has shaken Gov. Chris Christie's administration.
Emails and text messages are being sought from Bill Baroni, Christie's top deputy at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, who has resigned, and three others, including a top aide to agency chairman David Samson.
A state legislative panel has issued a total of 20 subpoenas, including to the governor's chief of staff and chief counsel.
A full list of names will be issued once all the subpoenas have been served.
The panel wants to get to the bottom of a scheme to close lanes near the George Washington Bridge, causing traffic gridlock in the town at the base of the span. The plot may have been carried out to settle a political score.

The Spring 2010 Episcopal New Yorker has "mission as part of congregational life" as its theme.

FLOSSMOOR | The athletic director for Homewood-Flossmoor High School died Wednesday night at the school, officials said.
Alec Anderson, 54, of Kankakee, was found next to a treadmill at the school at 999 Kedzie Ave. in Flossmoor, a spokeswoman for the Cook County Medical Examiner's office said.
He was pronounced dead at 8:06 p.m. at Advocate South Suburban Hospital in Hazel Crest, the spokeswoman said.
The cause of death was determined to be coronary artery disease following a Thursday morning autopsy, a spokesman for the medical examiner's office said.
Anderson became the athletic director at the school in July 2012.
"During his time with us at H-F, Alec made a tremendously positive impact on our staff and students through his spirit and commitment to our school," Superintendent Dr. Von Mansfield said in a statement issued Thursday morning.
"He was a dedicated administrator who always had students' best interests in mind. He will be missed as a colleague and friend. Our most sincere condolences and prayers go out to his family and friends."
He previously worked as assistant principal of athletics and activities at Bolingbrook High School from 2005 to 2012 and in administrative positions at Evanston Township High School and Urbana High School, according to the Homewood-Flossmoor High School Web site.
First-year H-F girls basketball coach Tony Smith was hired by Anderson, where he worked under him at Bolingbrook. Smith was emotional when talking about Anderson.
"He was a mentor for me and was just a great athletic director, educator and person," Smith said. "I learned a lot from him."
Smith said he was with Anderson Wednesday evening.
"This is surreal," Smith said. "It hit me, the other coaches, staff and students hard.
"(Anderson) was always right to the point and you knew where you stood with him. He always wanted to make sure the kids were treated fairly."
Marian Catholic athletic director Dave Mattio offered his remembrances of Anderson Thursday.
"Alec represented the good in high school administration and athletics," Mattio said. "His ability to be direct and truthful was a quality to be admired. He always represented what is good about high school athletics, and always did so in the most professional manner. His passing is a terrible loss to high school athletics in the south suburbs."

How to Look Like You Aren't Wearing Any Makeup: Guest Blogger
Raw and honest, Rachel Wilkerson's blog, The Life & Lessons of Rachel Wilkerson, is captivating and heartfelt. Covering the trials and tribulations of her personal life, her blog gives advice on everything from the serious (like moving house, which is so stressful) to the mundane (fun nail art!) and everything in between. We appreciate anyone that keeps it real the way she does, so we're excited to have her as this week's guest blogger.
How many of us were told when we first started wearing makeup that the secret is to make it look like you aren't wearing any makeup at all? Trouble is, that's much harder to do than it sounds. But after years of trying (and not always being so subtle), I've learned how to pull off the natural look in a way that appears healthy, bright-eyed, and pulled-together. Here are some of my tips:
Choose the right colors. Natural-looking makeup starts with choosing the right colors for your skin tone, particularly when it comes to foundation, concealer, and powder. It's really worth it to have an experienced salesperson help you pick colors and to try different brands until you find the right shade and formula for your skin. Sometimes this may mean blending two different colors together, which can be a hassle, but I promise that the customization is totally worth it. As a woman of color, I struggle to find foundation with the right undertones, but after a lot of trial and error, I've fallen in love with Makeup For Ever. And if I'm buying a new bottle in a different season, when I either have—or don't have—a tan, I have a pro test shades once again.
Get the right brushes and blend, blend, blend. While it's easy to ignore the importance of tools (buying an eye shadow brush doesn't feel nearly as fun as buying new eye shadow), they make a huge difference in applying makeup. When it comes to a natural look, blending well is half the battle, so it's worth it to use the right brushes. Television makeup artists rely heavily on good brushes and blending to make it look like male actors and news anchors aren't wearing makeup on TV.
Avoid shimmer. While shimmery makeup is fun—and totally has a time and place—it's not the best option if you want a natural look. When it comes to eye shadow, a matte shade that is close to your skin color will make your eyes look lovely, but any shimmer or noticeable contouring techniques quickly make you look made-up.
Groom your eyebrows. I find that this dramatically changes the amount of makeup I need. Before an eyebrow wax, I'm layering it on. After an eyebrow wax, I slap on a little tinted moisturizer and a coat of mascara and call it a day.
Check your makeup in natural light. If it can pass the direct sunlight test, you have nothing to worry about.
While I'm not ashamed to wear makeup (and I love me some false lashes), I usually just go the myself-just-slightly-better route on most days. And whenever someone tells me that they like how I don't wear a ton of makeup, I consider it a huge compliment.
We're fans of falsies, too. These ones by Faux are a fave.

Entertainment Geekly is a weekly column that examines pop culture through a geek lens and simultaneously examines contemporary geek culture through a pop lens. So many lenses!
"Were the Twilight movies good?" is not a question I want to even ask right now. It's too complicated, with too many extremist perspectives on either side. There are the kids who grew up with the Twilight phenomenon as their entire teenage pop culture prism. (Remember: Thanks to the annual-ish release strategy and the real-life romance angle and the fact that Twilight soundtracks were sort of a thing, Twilight as experienced by teenagers was this weird post-millenium mixed cocktail of the Beatles and Elizabeth Taylor/Richard Burton and whatever teen-drama TV show you thought was awesome when you were a dumb teenager.) And there are the slightly older, hipper kids who will maybe never forgive Twilight for making a dumber Buffy the Vampire Slayer into a more popular Buffy the Vampire Slayer. READ FULL STORY

I've been to a lot of airports and seen a lot of strange displays, but this one in Memphis' airport is right up there. It's a series of wood planks showcased on a wall with a small label describing each type. The banner of the display says "Lumbermen's club of Memphis." After this emotional, moving display I'm motivated to join. Who's with me?

Is the universe telling me something?
Its $760 to fly home for Thanksgiving. It would be $711 to fly to Istanbul.
Hmm…what should I do here?
That decision is entirely yours, my dear, but you've made travel addicts everywhere proud as can be for even posing the question.
Feb 2010 - Manila, Philippines
The slums - I took this on my commute to The Fort in Manila, this is a far cry from the state of the art hospital, swanky condos, and hustle and bustle of clubs and shopping areas in the Fort. Very sad to see, and it really is just a hop, skip, and a jump away from each other.
A-mazing…custom baby Soft-Maps by Haptic Lab. You must visit their site to see more. These quilts are so detailed, they can be even customized with your child's name and birthdate. Check to see if your city in available in their store.

Only two things I can say that I didn't like about it. One: The weight (it's a total boat anchor like most late 70's Fender strats) and two: Its price tag (unlike most people I can't afford to throw around 2ks just because hahaha)
"Why doesn't earth fall? How can you walk upon it? It's the music. It's the music of the earth, the music of the sun and the stars. The music of yourself, vibrating. Yes, you're music too. You're instruments. Everyone is supposed to be playing their part, in the vast arkestry of the cosmos."
Food for thought!

BBC News channel presenter Carrie Gracie made headlines when she told Labour peer Lord Foulkes that she earned 92,000 pounds a year. However, the Daily Mail reports today that her co-presenter, Simon McCoy, was glad he wasn't put on the spot as he earns £190,000 a year. "That's more than the prime minister," one source told the paper. The BBC says this claim about McCoy's salary is "way wide of the mark".

Using the 4 Roles of Creativity in Your Next Project
There has been a lot of talk in recent years about how everyone, not just the high level manager and creative professional, needs to work in new and innovative ways for organizations to stay competitive in our rapidly changing world. Yet without a predefined method to formulate and execute ideas, how can an organization truly be innovative?
One systematic approach, as detailed in Roger Von Oech's book: A Whack on the Side of the Head, is to assume each of four different creativity roles in our work. By sequentially placing ourselves or our team members into each of these roles for an appropriate length of time, we can formulate and execute innovative, actionable ideas.
- Explorer: Curiosity is king during this first role. Asking questions and being receptive to new ideas and perspectives allows the Explorer to gather raw materials for ideas such as facts, concepts, knowledge, and experiences.
- Artist: The Artist takes the raw materials for ideas discovered during the Explorer role and applies them in creative and imaginative ways. During this role playfulness overrules practicality in order to think outside of the box and freely formulate ideas.
- Judge: This role is where ideas are finally assessed. With a critical and analytical eye, the Judge determines if the Artist's ideas are feasible in the real world. Only workable ideas are then approved and acted upon.
- Warrior: With a feasible idea established in the Judge role, the Warrior then executes. The warrior stands up to resistance and pushes aside barriers that stand in the way of bringing the idea to completion.
Setting Realistic Deadlines
Tips on ensuring your project doesn't go off task and over budget
Deadlines are a critical component to any project – and a major source of stress if not set and managed correctly. I recently listened to a colleague share about how her company's deadline to launch a new software system was pushed up – again – for the fourth time, and it's nearly 10 months behind schedule. Their entire department was literally scrambling to make changes to make it all work. A delay at this level causes blocks in the production system, extreme pressure on the project team, and ultimately increases the cost of the project substantially.
This situation made me think about how many times we don't set realistic project deadlines. Although setting deadlines is only one component of an overall project management plan, there are ways to prevent major deadline disasters with proper planning and anticipation of what may come ahead. Below are a few ways to ensure your plan starts off right and finishes on time.

Persuasive Training Design: 7 Rules That Make a Difference
You're logging into a new online course, or you're walking into a classroom for a day-long workshop. You're engaged and ready to learn. Then the first slide or page appears. You're greeted with text-heavy, 10-point font and loads of bullet points. It's gonna be a long day.
We've all experienced it. Courses with one-way communication and information overload – both guaranteed content (and learning) killers.
Below are seven rules to help bring courses back to life, adapted from a webinar presented by Carmine Gallo (The Persuasive Pitch).
View Your Career as a Jungle Gym, Not a Ladder
by Amy Franko
A woman will average 10.7 jobs in her lifetime, according to Fast Company.
I decided that the ".7" could be attributed to those of you out there doing the work of at least two people, or a job we'd rather forget!
Let's say your career spans 30 years (and for many women, careers will be longer). That calculates, on average, a move to a new job every 2.8 years. My own career path reflects this. In 15 years, I've grown my career with six companies and have had seven unique job descriptions.
For many of us, our beliefs around how our careers will unfold were hatched by watching our parents work at the same place for their entire career, and perhaps in only a couple of jobs that entire time. To a large extent their careers were planned. And if they were designated as "management material" they were swooped up, placed on the "management track" and away they went.
Our experience is now entirely different. This notion of the "planned career" is as outdated as the phone I bought six months ago.
Today, when you walk in the door of a company there's really no step-by-step formula or well-worn path to follow to your dream career or your leadership aspirations. You design your path; you own it and are responsible for creating opportunities.
Pattie Sellers, Editor-at-Large of Fortune Magazine, captures it perfectly:
"The most successful people I know don't think of their career as a ladder, but rather a jungle gym."
Tie Training to Business Objectives – 5 Questions to Ask
As a training professional, you're probably familiar with the concept of "making the business case for training." I see one of my key roles in training and development as getting to the heart of the business objectives at hand. When I'm able to do that, I can then provide recommendations and ideas for training – or in some cases, other ways to accomplish the objectives.
A recent conversation with a client reminded me of this, and out of that came some practical ways to tie training and business value together.

Break These 3 Bad Design Habits
By Trina Rimmer
Being a training designer presents us with daily opportunities to challenge ourselves, push boundaries and design solutions that make our businesses successful, our clients happy, and our learning audience more effective. But sometimes our work isn't inspirational and it's really hard to get ourselves psyched-up to change the world starting with annual compliance training.
However, a lack of inspiration can be made even worse with a healthy dose of design complacency. When we fall back on bad design habits we can alienate ourselves from the real problems, our audience, and ultimately our professional self-worth.
Are you guilty of any of these bad design behaviors? [Read more...]
4 Steps to Selecting the Right LMS for Your Business
By Lisa Gearhart, Senior Instructional Designer
In today's world of ever-changing technology, selecting the right Learning Management System (LMS) for your business needs is not an easy decision. There are hundreds of LMS products on the market, and even more distinct features. How do you make the right selection?
Your Leadership Identity: What Are Your Leadership Habits?
This is the final article in our series on creating your leadership identity, based upon principles from Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, by Lois Frankel, Ph.D. Be sure to read the full series, available on our Emerging Women Leaders blog.
It was Aristotle who said that we are what we repeatedly do. Our seemingly small actions, done day in and day out, eventually create who we are.
Our small actions, done day in and day out are also known as habits.
Who you are as a person is reflected in who you are as a leader, so it makes sense then that your habits have a big stake in your leadership path and ultimate success. With the right habits you stay on course. With the wrong ones, it's easy to end up off the path and in the weeds!
A focus on habits seemed to me a perfect way to close this series and help set you up for success moving forward. Each article in our Leadership Identity series laid out actions you can take to build a certain aspect of your leadership identity. To help you take the next steps in creating lasting habits, I'll share this simple plan you can practice and put into place.

La muse malade by Shimamura81
Awesome drawing, Danilo… In my own way, I relate perfectly.. Many thanks, my dear ~ Eros
Awesome drawing, Danilo… In my own way, I relate perfectly.. Many thanks, my dear ~ Eros
Dear Eros,
With this work we finalize a series of drawings made as illustrations for a magazine in November and December 2011. Some of them have become paintings.
They are all made of charcoal and sanguine.
I wanted to tell you that I really appreciate your work and your comments to my drawings, so thank you so much.
This work is one of my favorites. I hope you like it.
There is one last job to be published, probably the best. I'll post it as soon as possible.
See you soon
Danilo, for me, your work is a pleasure to post and I so appreciate your continued support thru your great contributions and talented works. Keep 'em coming & I'll keep posting :)
~ Eros
As always, Danilo, much appreciate your continued contributions! Best ~ Eros
Oh, this is perhaps my favorite from your new series, Danilo. Again, there's something so wonderful about your use of the smallest bit of color in just the place. Great, great piece! ~ Eros
Uh, how neat… a new muse to indulge upon… Many thanks, Danilo! ~ Eros
Oh - so very good, Shimamura81! Sometimes, the whole less is more approach makes for one smoldering depiction; case & point! ~ Eros
Thank you, Shimamura81, another great submit with perfectly subtle coloring. ~ Eros
Really great, Shimamura81! I love the simplicity and playfulness of your work. Many thanks for your continued contributions! ~ Eros
Another great sketch, Shimamura81… oh and I am ever so partial to a gal with free flowing pigtails.. great touch. Many thanks for this latest piece ~ Eros
Many thanks to Shimamura81 for this latest nude sketch.. I love that touch of color. Very well thought out. Kind thanks for submitting! ~ Eros
My most sincere apologies. With regards to this last post, I had to act upon my instincts. I do not know what the specific rules are for posting art illustrations of young girls, however, I can tell you with certitude that I have no desire to find out the hard way here. Therefore, the submitted image has been removed. My apologies to the artist as this has absolutely no reflection upon your talent.
I have such admiration for artists who can just pick up a pencil and seemingly, with minimal effort, sketch out such an outstanding & naughty representation of the female form. Thank you so much, Shimamura81! ~ Eros

Your Princess Is In Another Castle
Are games art? Can they be deemed moving, emotive, beautiful? Immediately the question exhausts me. The only thing more exhausting, more irksome, by virtue of its predictability, are the innumerable cliché answers: "the narrative in [game] was sophisticated", "look at the graphics of [game], beautiful!", "the characters in [game] were so memorable and nuanced", "look at the intelligent way [game] played with storytelling convention".
Now, all of the above may well be true for certain digital games; indeed I could name a few of my personal favourites that fit into each of the above sentences. Yet I can't help but feel it's all missing the point.
The problem is, in answering the question with statements beginning "the narrative", "the graphics" or "the soundtrack", people continuously fall into the trap of trying to play media such as books, film or music at their own game. Quite simply, we keep repeating the mistake of looking in the wrong place for the true aesthetics of the digital game form. Time to move on to the next castle...
Objets d'art
We come from a history of locating the art in the object, in the grandiose 'work of art': the painting, the statue, the book, the dress. This is prudent enough, it is much easier and analytically cleaner to evaluate one specific artefact's aesthetic merit, than to consider the comparatively messy world of not only the object, but of the interaction between artist and work, between audience and art, art and environment.
The danger implicit in such an holistic evaluation of the work would be the daunting prospect that the meaning and artistic merit of the piece is not constant or inherent, as John Fiske points out, "texts are activated, or made meaningful, only in social relations and in intertextual relations" (Fiske,1989: p.3). This was of course Duchamp's point with Fountain, that the status of art was not something intrinsic to the object. Built upon in eclectic ways by the artistic collective known as 'Fluxus' throughout the 60s and 70s, and across the humanities thanks in part to post-structuralism, questions were raised concerning the importance of the audience's understanding, whether interpreting a sculpture, a poster, a television show, and so on. In the same period, digital games were slowly emerging as a cultural force in their own right, reaching their golden age during the late 70s.
Games as Media?
A large problem is, because we play digital games on personal computers or on our gargantuan flat-screen televisions, and because our consoles can play DVDs, Blurays, and mp3s, it's easier for us to just wedge a distinctly square peg into a round hole, believing it will eventually fit if we push it hard enough. It remains convenient for us to just categorise games as media; at least it's a step-up from toys right?
Yet this creates many problems, not least of which is our unthinking translation of many preconceptions, ideas and vocabularies straight from speciously comparable mediums like literature and cinema into games. More square pegs, more round holes, as illustrated in my discussion of the 'fourth wall' and digital games (http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4086/a_circular_wall_reformulating_the_.php).
Now that's not to say there aren't comparisons to be made, digital games have obviously borrowed much from the above mediums, and do share features with media. Rather, to re-purpose Wittgenstein, the danger lies in the power that language has in imprisoning us in certain modes of thought, removing the possibility for any other way of conceiving the subject. We are now comfortable in discussing the role the audience plays in the reception of art, of media, of communication, but by identifying games as media first, we're missing an important part of the equation; the unique ability for the audience to create in games, to play.
As I believe Jonas Heide Smith commented, perhaps we should stop trying to view digital games strictly as media, and see them instead as a modern branch of the (ancient) ludic tree. So if games don't fit neatly alongside media, where do they find their home?
If It's In The Game, It's In The Game...?
What are games? In their most classical sense, games are structures. They are systems we engage with, sets of rules and limitations that give meaning to action. As Bernard Suits (1978) described:
To play a game is to engage in activity directed towards bringing about a specific state of affairs, using only means permitted by rules, and where the rules prohibit more efficient in favour of less efficient means, and where such rules are accepted just because they make possible such activity.
Notice the importance of action within this quote. We play games, we engage with them, they are an activity. To wheel out a favourite quote of mine from Galloway (2006):
If photographs are images, and films are moving images, then video games are actions. Let this be word one for video game theory. Without action, games remain only in the pages of an abstract rule book. Without the active participation of players and machines, video games exist only as static computer code.
(p.2, italics in original)
Games need players. Soccer without players is simply a few lines of white chalk on a field, adorned by posts at either end. Remove the posts and put a net across the middle and we have Tennis. Chess without players is just sixty-four squares, thirty-two pieces and a rulebook. None of these are things I would pay to see; none of them appeal to my aesthetic sensibility.
In the same way, ballet without the dancer is not ballet. The major aesthetic dimension of ballet does not reside for me in the set design or in the costumes, but in the performance. Similarly, put Barcelona FC on a soccer pitch and I'll eagerly devote attention. Put Roger Federer on the tennis court and I'll gladly pay. Put directly, games, when enacted, become so much more than the sum of their parts. With this in mind, can the aesthetics, the beauty of games truly be said to be located just in the game? As hinted at in my introduction, perhaps we should start looking somewhere else, somewhere outside the game, or more accurately between the game and player.
The Play's The Thing
The true aesthetic dimension of a game, is what makes a game unique: play. Watch me play Chess and it's highly unlikely you will be held in awe of my ability, inspired by my innovation, uplifted by my effervescent performance. But watch a grandmaster, a Bobby Fischer, and you may well be mesmerised by the beauty of the play. Put me on a football pitch and (asides from the odd moment of brilliance I assure you), you'll be as likely to laugh as you are to applaud. But watch Dimitar Berbatov delicately control a ball, nonchalantly glide past an opponent before curling the football into the top corner of the goal, and you will understand why it's called "the beautiful game".
Of course, this means that digital games, as art, fly in the face of our common sense: traditional art, once designated as such, is a stable, unchanging representative. But, like ballet, like much Fluxus art, games are not static. Games change, they are dynamic, they shift and pulse and breathe, yesterday's euphoric basketball performance may be followed today by the most wearisome match ever witnessed. Clearly, the aesthetic dimension is not solely contained within the game, nor within the player's actions, but in the interaction between the two, in the ability to create moments of transcendent play that create in spectators (and other players) a sense of wonder and admiration. I have witnessed this in high-level Counter-Strike play, in StreetFighter tournaments, in StarCraft, where entire audiences have been silenced by instances of extraordinary play that spoke to their aesthetic appreciation and had an undeniable impact, whether that be intellectual or emotional. So, to answer the question "are games art?", perhaps we should first respond, "who's playing?"
Conclusion – The Problem of Procrustes
Procrustes was a serial killer in ancient Greek mythology whose modus operandi was to murder his victims by either stretching their limbs, or chopping them off to fit an iron bed of his design. This is precisely what we do when we take our knowledge of aesthetics from other art-forms and try to apply them to games; we stretch, we chop, and we inflict violence upon our understanding. Instead, we need to refuse to get into the bed! More pointedly, we need to throw out the old bed and design a new one, a bed that comfortably accommodates the dynamic, complex and evolving digital game form. We need to recognize the fact that the aesthetics of a game, its beauty, resides not solely in its graphics, or sound, or narrative, but in its play, and thus also in its player.
Of course, in designing our new bed, we mustn't forget lessons learned from the old one. We do need to incorporate what we know from the history and philosophy of aesthetics, much of our understanding of the aesthetics of literature and film can be applied to particular games. This should be acknowledged, whilst always vigilantly and intelligently scrutinized. But in first centring the aesthetics of digital games on play, we can further our cognition of the form, better articulate the pleasures it affords us, ferment more nuanced, insightful discussion, and ultimately provide us with a more refined critical approach in designing better games.

Wow, that's funny, I posted a blog just a couple days ago on the same exact topic through gamasutra too - that games are art through the gameplay.
I feel it is an important topic that we really need to decide on within our industry before we convince other outsiders that games are art. You should check out my blog post too - our ideas are nearly identical (unless you read it when it was on this site the day before yesterday). Somehow, didn't get featured like you though.
|Keith Nemitz
I read your article to say, "art in a game is brought out by a player." Sounds good. But does your article also claim that without a player it's art cannot be judged?
Poems can leap out powerfully or drop like lead depending upon the person who recites them, but does that mean I cannot enjoy the art of a poem, simply by reading it?
I have read rules for games that I've never played, and occasionally I have had wonderful experiences groking the system explained. Even computer games can be explored without really playing them, especially simulations like Sim City.
|Dave Endresak
Well, I may agree that games are play; actually I have stated that all life is play and thus all life is a game. However, I disagree that games are actions, except perhaps in a very very rudimentary meaning of the word, and certainly not as it is meant here.
For example, if I play a word game (an oral word game, that is) alone or with someone else, there is no action aside from the motion of my mouth, lips, breath, etc to form words.
Likewise, if I play a visual novel, adventure, or simulation game, there are no actions in the sense the word is used here because the only actions are mouse clicks for selections (or menu up-down-left-right and return key).
There are many more examples, but my point is that games are still art just as any media is art (and in fact many forms of art do not need a medium aside from the body). Any form of creative effort is art. Whether it is appreciated as such by someone else is a moot point.
This kind of debate always happens with new media. For example, photography was once viewed as "not art" because the pictures were not created by hand by an artist (or artiste ^_^). There are people who may claim that synthesized music for instruments or voice (such as Vocaloid software) are not art, but many others certainly feel that such works are art and appreciate them as such.
It really doesn't matter if someone cannot appreciate that games are art forms because many others do.
|Christoph Kaindel
I think games have more in common with the theatre than any other art form. Johan Huizinga said there are two types of games, performing (like the theatre) and competitive (sports, card games etc.). But they are closely related. The ancient Olympic Games were originally held as a religious service in honour of Zeus, and many modern sportspersons are performers too.
While I agree that playing a game is one activity that sets it apart from art forms like literature, painting etc., it is also one thing it has in common with the theatre. Like a computer game, theatre is a collaboration of many artists. First of all, there is the author. Shakespeare was undeniably an artist, but the actors and directors who interpret his works and put them on stage are as well. And there are the costume and stage designers, the light designers, the choreographers, all artists in their own right, who work together to create a production following the vision of the director. But the thing is, like in a game, the costumes stay the same, but each and every performance is different.
So to sum it up, I would say that games are made by a collaboration of many artists, but everything only comes together by the game being played. I can enjoy just reading Shakespeare, but it's really on the stage where he belongs (even though there are a lot of abysmal productions out there ...)
|Steven Conway
Dylan - Thanks for the link, I've just read your article, very interesting, and it's good to see I'm not alone in my thoughts.
Keith - Thanks for the comments, food for thought. But I would point out, firstly, that your poem analogy is specious; reading a poem and playing a game are two fundamentally different things, for one you cannot change the words of a poem as you read. Also, I would disagree that SimCity is a 'game' in any traditional sense.
Dave - I would be interested in your definition of action, if you can offer it. My understanding of 'action' is to act upon something, to have an effect. Thus in playing a word game, you have an effect when you use a word, you impact and change the course of the game. Whether clicking a mouse, a controller, or swinging a Wii remote, you are having a tangible effect upon the game world. I judge actions in terms of efficacy, not physical exertion.
Chris - Agreed, I too believe games have much in common with theatre (indeed, Caillois would label such performances as games of mimicry) and ballet etc.
|Tim Carter
Let's put it this way: Games could be as important as art, in their own way. Whether that's for good or ill, the jury is still out.
|Alan Jack
I've actually just this very second made this note while studying through "Understanding Comics" by Scott McCloud:
p. 166 Art is the way we assert our identities as individuals and break out of the roles nature cast us in
Playing games is like an art does playing games make it easier for people to express themselves when they might have difficulty otherwise? In the same way we press A to be a spy or snowboard down a mountain, do we press A to express ourselves?
|Steven Conway
Tim, Alan - well said.
|Jacob Pederson
This article really encapsulates the argument in a way that many many many of the talking heads out there have missed.
There's that universal human emotion activated when we're watching those four zerglings juke those two marines at the GSL. I imagine it's very similar to your soccer analogy. Without the contestants, the commentators, the audience, the experience starts to fall apart. This is why traditional media critics don't see art when they see a video game . . . they are not getting the full experience.
|Ernest Adams
Games are an art form. Very few of them are works of art, however, just as movies are an art form but very few of them are works of art. Most movies and most games are simply popular culture; light entertainment.
|Thomas Grove
"Britannica Online defines art as "the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others."" - Wikipedia
|Mark Venturelli
Thanks for this, Steven. Good write. Also gave me a cute little quote to throw around:
"Chess without players is just sixty-four squares, thirty-two pieces and a rulebook. None of these are things I would pay to see; none of them appeal to my aesthetic sensibility."
I would only refute the idea that the beauty of play is only on players. Players will certainly make or break it, but the designer also holds considerable responsibility on making play meaningful and beautiful for players.
|Paul Sivertsen
Very well written indeed. Definitely made me reconsider the value of games as art. I've felt that for a long time, but now I feel like they're one of the highest - if not THE highest - forms of art.
|Steven Conway
Thank you for the feedback everyone, very eloquent and I'm happy I could stimulate some discussion.

Sidney Bechet Jazz Classics
Sidney Bechet is a man who should need no introduction to readers of this blog (if you do need an introduction, the NPR jazz profile on him is a good start).
I just happened to pick up a 2 disc Blue Note set featuring Bechet with Bunk Johnson, Sidney de Paris, Meade "Lux" Lewis and others, in various recording sessions 1939-1951. Session details are on the back cover.
For better or worse, it's not available for download (in the US), so I guess it's fair game. I present to you, Sidney Bechet Jazz Classics, Vol. 1 & 2 (Blue Note 81201 and 81202). Original transfer by yours truly: Download at Mediafire.
The file size is a bit large (114 Mb) because SOMEBODY at Blue Note thought it would be a good idea to remaster mono recordings into "simulated stereo". I thought it best to keep it in stereo. MP3s are 16 bit, 192 kbps, but I've got the uncompressed WAV files available if you need them. Sample below.

I owe this recipe to my mom. This is her signature lentil cream soup, which she has made for us time and time and again… and it never gets old. She makes it for special occasions, and also, when she feels that we really need a good plate of soup. Allow me to illustrate:
Are you sick? – Here's some lentil soup
Did you have a rough day? – Lentil soup will help
If she thinks you're getting too skinny – Eat some lentil soup
If you really don't feel like eating lentil soup today – Here's some lentil soup anyway
So as I said, this soup is her infallible remedy… and also her way to express love to her family. Is really that good.
Now, keep in mind that the quantities and ratios on this recipe are pretty loose, so feel free to make it your own. It's a soup, and it should be easy and comforting. As with all the good things in life, you got to taste it to know it's right. Oh, by the way, you can make a big batch and freeze it. This dish is perfect for those days when you're really not in the mood for cooking.
Buen provecho!

text: My factory warranty ends on June 30th this year. I have been looking for an extended warranty and thanks to BMWMOA I found CONTEGO DIRECT www.contegodirect.com and now have six more years of full coverage on my 1200RT. These folks are great to deal with and their prices are half of what the dealerships charge. It seems they sell to the dealerships also but the dealers mark up the price 100%. All told it took ten minutes to fill out the online form, give them a credit card and check out. I got an instant receipt by email and as I reviewed the actual service contract online I know what I bought. The package will be mailed to me in the next day or so. My situation is ideal as claims brought for damage in the first thirty days are not covered. I've got over sixty days before my factory warranty runs out.:deal

While most Gram Panchayats are opposing merger into the GHMC, the stiffest resistance could be from residents and politicians of Shamshabad. After witnessing exponential growth in recent times and with the international airport in its territory, the bone of contention for resisting the merger move is the sharing of revenue.
Generally, most people have a notion that with real estate business and the international airport, Shamshabad Panchayat will get more revenues, but that was not the case.
Special municipal centre
The international airport has been classified into a special municipality centre by the government, and not a single penny is being paid to Shamshabad Panchayat, fumes R. Ganesh Gupta, who has the distinction of being the last sarpanch of Shamshabad.
The Gram Panchayat has a population of about 40,000, of which the majority are from the low-income group. They live in 3,000 small houses constructed in 70 to 100 yards. Those living in 150 to 200 yard houses pay an annual tax of Rs. 2,500, and merger means the tax going up exponentially. This is what happened with the neighbouring Rajendranagar area, and the residents are strongly opposing this, points out Mr. Gupta.
No home loans
The worst thing is that Shamshabad comes under the purview of GO 111 Bio-conservation of Catchment Area, and no home loans are sanctioned to the residents.
If the GHMC can address these issues and continue with the existing tax rates and water cess for about 10 to 15 years, it will be beneficial to the residents, he adds.
Provision of basic amenities will be the key issue. The Shamshabad Civil Hospital was defunct for several years, and the residents exerted pressure on the panchayat, following which a temporary hospital is being operated at the mini stadium premises. But once the panchayat is merged, there will be no accountability, and people will be made to run from pillar to post to get birth, death and valuation certificates in GHMC circle offices, observes Siddhartha, an MBA graduate. "The authorities should consider making Shamshabad first into a municipality and give a transitional period for people to get used to the rules of municipalities.
"Considering that the erstwhile municipalities that merged into the Municipal Corporation are yet to get basic amenities like roads and drinking water, the government does not seem to have learnt a lesson," says Dr. Prem Raj, BJP state executive member.

McGarity speaks frankly about expectations for Georgia basketball program
- 3:09 pm Wednesday, April 2nd, 2014 by Chip Towers
ATHENS – The University of Georgia on Wednesday announced a two-year contract extension for men's basketball coach Mark Fox. That means it will expire at the end of the 2017-18 season.
Fox's fifth Georgia team went 20-14 this past season and finished in a tie for second place in the SEC with a 12-6. Fox has an overall record of 85-77 and an SEC record of 40-44 heading into his sixth season.
Fox was traveling to Texas for the Final Four and is not answering questions about the extension beyond the statement he gave in the UGA's news release. Meanwhile, Georgia Athletic Director [More]
What you need to know about UGA-Ole Miss game tonight in SEC tourney
- 12:00 pm Friday, March 14th, 2014 by Chip Towers
Here are a few things to consider in advance of Friday night's SEC tournament quarterfinal between Georgia and Ole Miss (9:30 p.m., SEC Network) at the Georgia Dome.
1. The Bulldogs (18-12) are the No. 3 seed after finishing in a tie for second in the regular season and getting a double-bye into this round. Ole Miss is the 6 seed and improved to 19-13 after beating Mississippi State 78-66 late Thursday night.
2. Georgia won the regular-season meeting 61-60 after Charles Mann made the second of two free throws with 1.5 seconds remaining. Kenny Gaines led [More]
Rewind: It's the 'Year of the Dawg' on the PGA Tour
- 11:46 am Monday, March 3rd, 2014 by Chip Towers
ATHENS – The Year of the Dog continues in professional golf.
Russell Henley became the latest Georgia Bulldog to have his named etched into a trophy on the PGA Tour. Henley, who played for the Bulldogs from 2008-11, became the fourth UGA letterman to record a victory on the tour this season on Sunday when he bested Rory McIlroy and two others in a playoff at the Honda Classic. Henley tapped in a two-foot birdie putt on the first play-off hole, a par 5, to claim the win over McIlroy, Ryan Palmer and Scotland's Russell Knox.

ESPN's 'bracketologist' Lunardi calls Georgia 'the tallest midget in the circus'
- 9:02 am Thursday, February 27th, 2014 by Chip Towers
ATHENS – Ever since Georgia's 71-56 win over Missouri on Tuesday night, I've had a lot of people asking if I thought the Bulldogs had a chance to get into the NCAA Tournament. They do, but it's the longest of long shots.
Georgia is 16-11 overall and 10-5 in the SEC with three regular-season games and the SEC Tournament left to play. In my opinion, there is a chance the Bulldogs could land an at-large selection if they win out and reach the finals of the SEC Tournament, which is in Atlanta this year. That will mean they will have beaten [More]

CARINE ROITFELD and Her Enduring Irreverence
Carine Roitfeld, according to Karl Lagerfeld, is the embodiment of the "ideal French woman", and we happen to agree with him. Having shaped the face of fashion at French Vogue, launching Tom Ford's career, and countless collaborations with uber photographer Mario Testino, Roitfeld has had a full and enviable career thus far. In retrospect of her work to date comes the launch of CARINE ROITFELD: Irreverent, an astounding collection of images and personal ephemera that give an insight into her creative process and playful sensibility.
As a preview, Tangent presents a sneak peek of a few of the pages from the book. Its list of contributors runs like a who's who of the fashion elite: Anna Wintour, Olivier Zahm, Helmut Lang, Miuccia Prada, Tom Ford, Azzedine Alaia, Riccardo Tisci, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Mario Testino, Stefano Pilati, and of course Karl. Keep an eye out for its release in October.

The NFL announced a new format for filling in the roster for the Pro Bowl. The rosters will no long er have players from each division and will not have the best players from the league regardless of division.
They will all be mixed and matched with a draft between two different sides. So the top 6 quarterbacks will make it to the Pro Bowl now. Players from the same team could go up against each other in the Pro Bowl as well. Colin Kaepernick could be faced up against Patrick Willis.
The league needed to find a way to spice this thing up. I don't know if this will be the way to do it, but it is worth a try. I still would love to see them bring back a skills contests of some sort. I like knowing which quarterback is the most accurate in the league. I like knowing which lineman can push the most weight. That's what I want to see…. or maybe.
