Former Ruff Ryders leader DMX is gearing up to drop his new Undisputed solo album this March with a little help from Busta Rhymes, Swizz Beatz and more.
According to reports, X's upcoming LP will have a slight R&B vibe courtesy of singers like Jennifer Hudson and Tyrese.
2012 will be the Year of the Dog. DMX is set to return to music with a new album, due this spring. The Yonkers MC, born Earl Simmons, will release his seventh studio album Undisputed on March 27 via United Music & Media Group. The first single, "Already," will be officially released in the coming weeks. According to a press release, the album will feature appearances from Busta Rhymes, Tyrese, and Jennifer Hudson, with production from Swizz Beatz and Deezle ("Lollipop"). (Rap-Up)
Last week, the rapper made a surprise appearance at a New York concert.
During Funkmaster Flex's Christmas Pary, Earl Simmons or DMX to you and I, surprised the audience with his appearance and the following stage performance. Partygoers at the Santos Party House were in disbelief, as DMX ran through some popular songs off his lengthy catalog. X also spat an acapella verse showing he is still with nice with [the] mic. He also announced new music is on the way in the new year, with a new project titled Undisputed scheduled to drop March 26th. (Soul Culture UK)
West Coast producer Cavie recently told SOHH he is working on new music alongside X.
"I'm very excited about the DMX record and then I would have to say I'm most excited about the Goodie Mob album too as far as the comebacks and who I would like to see get back to where they need to be," Cavie added. "With the success of Cee-Lo now, Goodie Mob will be able to change the way Southern music is going on, all the snapping and popping. I think Goodie Mob is going to bring it back to where it all started at. I'm excited about Goodie and DMX's album. Shout-out to my man X for making me the lead producer on the album. The music speaks for itself. Before going to jail, DMX told me I'm his favorite producer and if I'm not doing the track, he's not even rocking. That made me [feel] honored because this guy is an incredible talent as well as being an incredible person. Very misunderstood but he's a great guy." (SOHH)
Although Cavie may be contributing, renowned producer Dame Grease is reportedly overseeing the entire LP.
Veteran Harlem producer Dame Grease announced this week that he's signed on to executive produce the long awaited new LP from DMX. Grease has a long history with the Yonkers-bred rap star. When X made his mark in 1997, it was Grease who helped craft the rapper's aggressive sound. Before that, however, the producer then followed by working with the likes of The Lox and Mase during the mid-1990s Bad Boy Records era. Then, it led to Grease working as the lead producer on DMX's classic debut, It's Dark and Hell Is Hot. (Baller Status)
The new album will mark DMX's latest since 2006's Year of the Dog…Again.
Undisputed is slated to arrive March 27th.

Straight No Chaser Brings #SNClive Fall 2012 Tour to Fox Theatre, 11/10
The Nine Network and Fox Concerts presents Straight No Chaser's #SNClive Fall 2012 Tour at the Fabulous Fox Theatre on Saturday, November 10 at 8 p.m. Tickets are on sale now through MetroTix and prices start at $29.50.
Straight No Chaser – who was featured on the "Generation YouTube" episode of ABC's 20/20 – is using the tour to continue expanding on their social media interaction with fans. The group credits a large amount of its success to its early adoption and encouragement of sharing content. "This group started because of a viral video on YouTube," explains group member Randy Stine. "From day one, we have encouraged fans to upload photos and videos from our shows, even expanding venue photo policies to ensure that this was possible. We are excited to really drive home the idea of building a fan community around content by naming our tour #SNCLive." As its name suggest, #SNClive will be a multi-platform concert event, with the hashtag giving fans a way to search and categorize content specific to this tour across all social media platforms.
The tour follows seven shows this summer and the first ever Straight No Chaser Cruise – CHASERS AT SEA – on the Carnival Destiny. Leaving port from Miami on October 11th, fans will travel to Key West, FL and Cozumel, Mexico, returning on October 14th. For more information about CHASERS AT SEA visit www.snccruise.com.
PBS will also continue to support Straight No Chaser by airing their highly successful TV special, SONGS OF THE DECADES, during the fall pledge period. The special shows Straight No Chaser taking a musical journey through the pop songbook, from doo-wop to contemporary pop, all performed with the distinctive SNC twist and filmed during the group's exclusive summer concert engagement at Harrah's Resort Atlantic City in 2011.
In addition to their cruise and upcoming dates, Straight No Chaser is currently in the studio recording their fourth full-length album. More details on the upcoming album will be released soon.
Tickets for Straight No Chaser are on sale now at the Fox Theatre box office. To charge by phone call MetroTix at 314/534-1111 or online at www.metrotix.com. For more information, visit www.sncmusic.com, www.facebook.com/StraightNoChaser, and twitter.com/SNCmusic.

Welker top graduate of Patriots' re-education
I heard a comically awful interview on my drive home from the Miami Dolphins practice facility.
New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker, formerly of the Dolphins, was a guest on "The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz" on 790 the Ticket in Miami to talk about Sunday's game.
Welker was considered an old friend of the show from his Dolphins days, but the interview started off awkwardly and got much worse. Co-host Jon Weiner (Stugotz) had the temerity to ask Welker about the Patriots' Super Bowl loss and Tom Brady's injury. Welker's robotic responses smacked of being encoded.
Weiner: "What happened to you, man? You can't answer my questions? You're not allowed to answer the questions?"
Welker: "You're asking bad questions."
If the exchanges weren't laborious enough, Welker ended the interview after four minutes, cutting off Weiner's question and hanging up. The next sound was a dial tone.
The postmortem segment involved Le Batard and Weiner discussing what the heck happened.

OUYA: A $99 Android Linux Game Console
Published on 10 July 2012 10:10 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
112 Comments
In the hours today while being pre-occupied with Debian-related matters in Nicaragua, a new Android-based sub-$100 Linux game console received over one million dollars in funding from the community.
As the latest Kickstarter success, there is now
the OUYA project
. The project had a goal to raise $950,000 over 30 days, but in less than 24 hours they have already raised $1.763 million USD and that number is still quickly climbing. OUYA comes down to being a $99 video game console that runs Android and contains only free (as in beer) software. OUYA will be an open design that developers can target and take advantage of all the features of a modern TV. There's also a "word-class controller, console, and interface."
The OUYA project was already brought up today
within the Phoronix Forums
. It's an interesting open game console design, but will likely be trumped in the coming year by something much more interesting. Anyhow, those interested in learning more about OUYA can see the video embedded below.

Many years ago while teaching kindergarten I had a little girl come into my class at the beginning of the school year. She was exuberant and a delight to have, buuuuutttt. When I started teaching the children songs she sang a half a note below me aaannnd a half a beat behind me in a very loud voice. Now most teachers would have stopped and corrected the child and told her to listen and perhaps not sing until she could do it right. Some how I realize that I needed to ignore her and let her sing. She did this for weeks. There were times that I ended up going off key because I was listening to her too much. When I did that I would stop the group, apologize for doing it wrong and start again. I never mentioned that this girl drug me down. By the end of the year she was singing on key and with me.
The bonus to this is the following year when she was in first grade her class preformed at the annual Christmas Program. She sang a solo! Afterward I told her teacher what had happened the year before and we both were delighted with this child's progress.
Too often we correct instead of ignoring and encouraging. Many of us have the loop that reminds us that we can't do something and perhaps should not try. Perhaps if we remember with our children and each other that given time and encouragement others will learn we don't have to put a negative loop into their lives.
My fuel for improvement must come from within. My friends can and have encouraged me but i am the one who gets up in the morning to exercise/do yard work. The other benefit is my yard does look different, or is it better. I asked my son about the yard improvements a few days ago and he showed by his stymied reaction that he could not see it. He did not recognize the new grass that has grown in areas that had junk grass before. I see the improvements and the people who mow my lawn see the improvement.
I find when I am multitasking I do better. My exercise is weeding out the junk grass so when the project is finished I will be lighter and healthier than when I started. If the project is never finished because the junk grass grows too fast to get ahead of it that will be OK because I will need to exercise for the rest of my life.
The bottom line is this is for me, both the exercise and making the yard look better. I plan to live here for a long time.
January 4, 2009, here on Guam and my copy of "The Spark" was in the lock box today! That is good timing for way out here in the Pacific.
I have looked at the pictures and glanced at the table of contents but not started reading yet. Had to write this first.
Almost like a Christmas present that just got here!
it is 2:00 p.m. here so the New Year is 10 hours away. A new decade in this century.
I am delighted that since I joined SparkPeople that I have dropped (no, not dropped) 70 pounds, have lost inches in many places and feel healthier than I have in years.
I am starting a new year but planning to keep up the work to be healthy for the rest of my life. I hope I can be an encouragement to others. Some close friends i have tried to prod but nothing has happened yet. Some Spark friends have been an encouragement to me and I hope I have been to them.
Thanks to BabyJane I have started wearing a pedometer and have started pushing myself to walk more each day. I was doing about 6,000 steps a day but now it is 8,000 or 10,000 steps most days.
My main exercise is the yard work I do most mornings. I have even started a small garden, mainly in pots because there is no real soil in my yard. I should have lettuce, beans, cucumbers, squash and tomatoes if all goes well. We will see.
I hope all of you have a great New Year and a healthy year to come.
Jane on Guam
One of my son's family gave me a Gift Certificate for a Bali Spa for Christmas! It will be a Creambath and Foot Massage! I have never had something like this before (although I have had massages by a lady that works through my chiropractor).
My daughter-in-laws mother was telling me about what she had gotten a few days ago and urging me to get it also. Now I can!
Some friends and I will be staying at the hotel this is given at for the New Year so we can watch the fireworks. Now I will add the Spa to the works!
Merry Christmas all!

Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors is an extremely common tactic for video games, and even outside of the RPG genre where it originated, it's one of the more common RPG Elements. Whether it makes use of Fire, Ice, Lightning or The Four Elements, or even some unique proprietary system, it's fairly common for games to make use of some "circle" of elements. Depending on the number of elements in the system, one element is weak to and strong against one other element specifically, or there are several distinct weaknesses and strengths for every set. Sometimes. However, Bosses (especially bonus ones) and Olympus Mons don't always play by these rules. So frequently in RPGs or games with RPG Elements, you'll encounter a rare Mon, spell, or other doohicky that doesn't play by the rule of Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors. It frequently has its own unique "element," shared by no (or very few other) monsters, spells, weapons, or whatever. It belongs to an Infinity Plus One Element. Said element generally has the following traits:

After his much talked about performance at last weekend's 50th annual Grammy awards, DJBooth is proud to feature Kanye West' live version of Hey Mama, a dedication to his mother, Dr. Donda West, who tragically passed away on November 11th of last year. Following a Glow In The Dark Tour-preview rendition of the Graduation chart-topping single, Stronger, West began the single-verse rendition of a song he wrote for his mother prior to the release of his second studio album, Late Registration. The Chicagoan walked away with several Grammy's on the night, however, to everyone's amazement, one of them did not include a trophy for 'Album of the Year.'

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- ICAP Patent Brokerage announces for auction optical switching technology portfolios from Comptic, Inc., comprising high-speed optical switching innovations for the fiber-optic communications industry. The patent portfolios will be included as two lots in the 17th ICAP Ocean Tomo IP Auction on November 29, 2012, at The Ritz Carlton in San Francisco, California.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100614/CG20517LOGO)
"We are excited to be offering these optical switching portfolios to our global base of buyers. These innovative technologies are highly relevant to a wide-range of fiber-optic communication applications, such as cloud computing, cyber security, and stock market trading, where switching speed is essential," says Dean Becker, CEO of ICAP Patent Brokerage.
Key Characteristics & Benefits
Current fiber-optic communication systems employ both all-optical (O-O) and traditional optical-to-electrical-to-optical (OEO) switches. The growing demand for capacity requires a larger number of fibers to be switched at system nodes, which is a difficult task for an OEO switch. Present traffic is limited due to the normal switching speed of O-O switches at 10-20 milliseconds. These optical switches use mechanical components such as rotating mirrors, which severely limit the speed and stability of optical switching. Further, low latency switching is a requirement to diagnose and switch to an alternate route to enable rapid system reconfiguration and rapid recovery from system outages and for avoiding cyber attacks.
Lot 43 – Next-Generation Large All-Optical Communication Switch
This portfolio includes a basic patent for a next-generation large all-optical communication switch with unique optical deflectors. The assets for sale are relevant to the changing fiber-optic communications industry as new, fourth generation equipment is replacing existing systems requiring higher switching speeds. The switching time of the offered switch can be as low as, and possibly less than, 10 microseconds, which is more than 1000 times faster than other large MEMS or liquid crystal switches. The key to its speed is its small size. The high-acoustic resonances of its very small mechanical elements and MEMS elements are not required to move a distance of more than half a wavelength of light. The switch allows for a more rugged and reliable design than the current O-O MEMS and liquid crystal switches. Additionally, the switch supports high-speed error detection, self diagnosis, repair, and can be rapidly reconfigured from a control station. Its applications include network monitoring and system repair, cloud computing, cyber security, and mobile backhaul where higher switching speeds are required to handle projected traffic. The patented technology is adaptable to ROADMs, cross connect switching, and other applications.
Lot 44 – High-Speed Ferroelectric Switch
This portfolio includes high-speed optical switch technology with interferometric phase spatial light modulators. The ferroelectric switch technology for sale is expected to switch in 10 nanoseconds; a dramatic increase in switching speed compared to current large crossbar MEMS and liquid crystal switches. The patented switch comprises an array of ferroelectric and Gires-Trounois inferrometers, which can switch up to 1,000,000 times faster than liquid crystal or rotating mirror switches. The ferroelectric switch supports high-speed error detection, self diagnosis and repair, and can be rapidly reconfigured. Its applications include cloud computing, cyber security, and mobile backhaul, packet switching, and high frequency stock market trading. The basic patent technology is adaptable to ROADMs, cross connect switching, and applications where low latency is critical.
See these technical descriptions of the Lot 43 and Lot 44 IP sales offerings.

There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things. The difference ...

New this week in the iTunes Rhino Catalog Room:
Force M.D.'s, Love Letters: Wait, didn't all of the Force M.D.'s albums hit the digital catalog back in April? Well, we thought they did, but apparently there was some sort of holdup with this one. That, or maybe we just got confused because the guys are wearing the same attire on this album as they do on Let Me Love You: The Greatest Hits. Either way, now you can own their top-10 R&B hit "Tears" in the context of the album on which it originally appeared, so hooray!
Albert King, King of the Blues Guitar (Mono): We here at Rhino are kicking off a new weekly reissue program called Mono Monday, and don't overthink this, because it's exactly what it sounds like: we're adding a new mono release to the digital catalog every week. Starting us out is the classic compilation blues guitarist Albert King. If you're not a purist, then the idea of listening to an album in glorious mono may not mean much to you, but we know our audience well enough to realize that there's plenty of you out there who'll be anxious to see what's going to be coming down the pike each week. Why, it almost makes Mondays worth looking forward to. Not quite…but almost.
If you're a fan of the Ramones, then you're doubtlessly aware that their back catalog has been available digitally for quite some time, but their hook-heavy punk stylings sound better than ever now that they've been mastered for iTunes.
The albums that've received the mastering treatment stretch from their self-titled 1976 debut all the way up through 1987's Halfway to Sanity, which – if you're one of those people who absolutely, positively needs to know all the album titles – means that the other inclusions are Leave Home (1977), Rocket to Russia (1977), Road to Ruin (1978), End of the Century (1980), Pleasant Dreams (1981), Subterranean Jungle (1983), Too Tough to Die (1984), and Animal Boy (1986). Also in the mix: the two Sire Years sets which collect the band's albums from 1976-1981 and, for a more expansive collection, from 1976-1989.
by Ted Olson
The Folk Box is the kind of album that changes lives—I know this because it changed mine, assuredly for the better. And over the years I have heard that The Folk Box played an important formative role in the lives of many other people.
About the time I was learning to stay upright on a bicycle (1967), I discovered my parents' record collection, which contained a host of titles—classical and jazz, mostly—that held little appeal to a six-year-old. But one album captured my interest—a thick box set with an appealingly rustic, unpretentious front cover. Somehow that cover spoke to me, in a rough yet reassuring voice, saying "Listen here." And so I obliged, spinning one and then all of its four LPs on the family turntable. From the speakers wafted voices and songs that were at the same time familiar and mysterious; it was as if I was being summoned to hear news from a world I needed to know about, even if I was too young to fully comprehend that world. The ultimate evidence that that album — The Folk Box — had gotten through to me: I wanted to hear more—more of humanity's other folk music.
Tonight at 10 PM EST / PST, the ongoing PBS documentary series Independent Lens offers the network premiere of Muscle Shoals, which shines a spotlight on the Alabama city where thousands of classic songs have been recorded over the years, many of them at FAME Studios, founded by Rick Hall. We had an opportunity to chat with Hall, who discussed the founding of his studio, hit on some of his career highlights, and talked about working with Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and even the Osmonds.
Rhino: How did you find your way into having a studio in Muscle Shoals in the first place?
Rich Hall: Well, I quit my job at Reynolds Metal making tin foil, built (FAME Studios), set it up, and said, "Let's do it!" [Laughs.] That's what happened.
Was that something you'd always had an eye on doing, or was it just on a whim?
No, I had played music all my life. I'd been playing since I was six years old, me and my sister sang in gospel quartets, and all that kind of crap, so I had a lot of experience. I was in the high school band, and we won first place in the state of Alabama for a string-band contest, so I'd been on radio stations and worked gigs for many years. So I was familiar with what I wanted to do. And I was a songwriter and a singer – I had my own band called the Fairlanes – but when the crunch time came in the 1960s, I quit making country music because I was writing country songs and having a lot of success with 'em. I had hits with George Jones, Brenda Lee, Roy Orbison, and people like that, so I'd made a little money at it, and I just decided to do it full-time.
This Saturday is Record Store Day, but it's highly unlikely that this information is any sort of revelation to you, since we suspect that most folks who'd frequent a record label's website are the same sort of folks who'd have circled the third Saturday of April on their calendar the day they bought their calendar. But, hey, just in case you're one of the few who've been steered this way by a friend and have no clue what we're on about, we'll go ahead and offer a few paragraphs from the event's official website – and, yes, it is www.recordstoreday.com – to fill you in:
Record Store Day was conceived in 2007 at a gathering of independent record store owners and employees as a way to celebrate and spread the word about the unique culture surrounding nearly 1000 independently owned record stores in the US and thousands of similar stores internationally. There are Record Store Day participating stores on every continent except Antarctica.
This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store—the staff, the customers, and the artists—to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role these independently owned stores play in their communities.
Special vinyl and CD releases and various promotional products are made exclusively for the day and hundreds of artists in the United States and in various countries across the globe make special appearances and performances. Festivities include performances, cook-outs, body painting, meet & greets with artists, parades, DJs spinning records, and on and on.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Christmas treat good any time of year
This is the final week of recipes for a reader named Jean, who wrote in asking for traditional Ukrainian dishes. Pampushke are delicious fried yeast pastries made with a poppy seed filling. This is usually a Christmas treat, but I received so many responses I wanted to make them right away. Thanks to Florence Semeniuk of Pine River, whose recipe for pampushke dough comes from her mother, who listed the ingredients but not the instructions. As Florence suggests, her mother wrote down recipes "as if everyone knew exactly what to do... And she did." Thanks also to Aster Hansen of St. Adolphe for her recipe for poppy seed filling and to Johanne O'Brien, who sent in an option for prune filling.
If you can help with a recipe request, have your own request, or a favourite recipe you'd like to share, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, fax it to 697-7412, or write to Recipe Swap, c/o Alison Gillmor, Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave. Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6. Please include your first and last name, address and telephone number.
Sweet Pampushke Dough
125 ml (1/2 cup) lukewarm water (38-43 C, or 100-110 F)
10 ml (2 tsp) granulated sugar
2 packets active dry yeast (4 1/2 tsp or 16 g or 22 ml)
250 ml (1 cup) whole milk, scalded
60 ml (1/4 cup) soft shortening
250 ml (1 cup) water
2 ml (1/2 tsp) salt
125 ml (1/2 cup) granulated sugar
2 eggs, well beaten
1.6 l (about 7 cups) all-purpose flour
Canola oil, for frying
In small bowl or cup, dissolve sugar into warm water. Sprinkle yeast on top and let sit for 10 minutes until foamy. In a medium bowl, place scalded milk, stir in shortening while milk is still warm and stir to blend. Cool slightly and add water, salt, sugar and eggs. In a large bowl, place flour. Make a well in the middle, pour milk mixture and yeast mixture into well and stir to blend. Dough should be soft. Knead on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes, then place in a lightly oiled bowl and turn dough once. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 90 minutes. Punch down and let rise again.
To make pampushke: You can roll out dough on a floured surface until about 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick and cut out 7.5 cm (3 inches) rounds. Or, you can pinch off a small ball of dough and pat out in your palm until 6 mm (1/4 inch) thick and 7.5 cm (3 inches) round. Place about 5 ml (1 tsp) filling in centre of dough round, cover with another round and seal edges. (Edges must be clear of filling.) Gently shape into a ball. Place on a lightly floured surface about 5 cm (2 inches) apart, cover and let rise about 20 minutes. Check for any gaps in seams and reseal if necessary. Using a deep-fat fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed pot with about 7.5 cm (3 inches) of oil, heat oil to 175 C (350 F) and fry pampushke in batches, turning once until golden on both sides, about 3-5 minutes. Do not crowd. Drain on paper towels. Roll warm pampushke in sugar or cinnamon sugar or sift icing sugar over tops of cooled pampushke,
Tester's notes: A nice light and slightly sweet dough. Some recipes indicate a second rise, and some recipes leave it out and go straight to shaping. I included a second rise, letting the dough sit for about 30 minutes until it gained in size and softness. This seemed to work well, and I got a soft, light dough. I'm always eager to pack in filling, but I found I had to be very careful to keep the edges clear of filling or the seams would open up. Keep an eye on the temperature when frying: You want to ensure the pampushke are cooked through without over-browning.
Poppy Seed Filling
250 ml (1 cup) ground poppy seeds
80 ml (1/3 cup) honey
5 ml (1 tsp) grated lemon rind
1 egg white
Prepare poppy seeds by soaking in water overnight and draining very well, or by covering with boiling water, letting sit for 30 minutes and then draining very well. Grind using a spice mill or grinder. In small bowl, combine ground poppy seeds, honey and lemon rind. In a separate bowl, beat egg white until stiff and then fold into poppy seed mixture.
Tester's notes: The honey and lemon rind are a perfect finish to the nutty poppy seeds. I don't have a spice mill so I used my food processor, which is not ideal and took some time. (When properly ground, the mixture will be dark but there will be some a milky whiteness at the edges.) You can also buy ground poppy seed mixture at some specialty stores. Check for freshness, though, as ground poppy seeds can go rancid quickly.
Prune Filling
454 g (1 lb) pitted prunes
250 ml (1 cup) granulated sugar
15 ml (1 tbsp) cinnamon
5 ml (1 tsp) vanilla
In a medium pot, place prunes with enough water to cover, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain, reserving 125 ml (1/2 cup) juice, and mash prunes. Combine drained, mashed prunes, reserved juice, sugar and cinnamon in same pot and bring just to boil, then remove from stove. Add vanilla.
Tester's notes: I like the dark, melting sweetness of this filling. I found it didn't take long to soften the prunes. The ones I bought were actually called "soft California plums," all part of the recent re-branding of the prune.

It's been two years and change since Marky soared Up, up & Away, leaving the Booth far behind. Today, he finally touches back down on our pages, but don't get it twisted; as evidenced by the title of his latest promo single, the DMV rhymesayer is still striving for ever-loftier altitudes. Lunice and Hudson Mohawke (together known as TNGHT) double up behind the boards on Higher Ground. Backed by their bass-heavy brass blasts, looped vocal samples and handclap-heavy rhythm section, Marky mixes turnt-up lyrics about weed and p**sy with philosophical reflections on his hustle: "Real sh*t, had a dream last night that I drowned / So I ain't got that much more time to live, therefore the time is now." This very live selection is slated to appear on the emcee's The Road Less Traveled LP, which has yet to receive a drop date. As always, fans can keep their browsers locked for all the latest.

Mailtime I was wondering what the salary capluxury taximplications are for the Warriors after signing Carl Landry and re-signingBrandon Rush. Wont the combined salaries of Landry and Rush push the Warriorsinto the luxury tax? Mark, Bay Area.Steinmetz: All right, heres the thing about theluxury tax and where the Warriors are it doesnt matter right now; you could argue it's irrelevant.Yes, the Warriors are into the tax right now as of Aug. 3 but they have more than eight months to get under the tax if need be. And inall probability and likelihood, when push comes to shove in mid-April theWarriors wont be in the tax.There are countless ways the Warriors could get back underthe tax, and theyve clearly left themselves wiggle room to get under or, tobe fair, go deeper into the tax if they want.It still remains remote that the Warriors will end up in theluxury tax 70.3 million -- when the appropriate time comes to compute suchthings (April 17). If you want the biggest reason why the Warriors won't be a tax team this season it's this: They don't need to be. And I'm right with them on that one.Right now, the Warriors are said to be approximately400,000 over the tax. That would mean they would have to pay a 400,000penalty, but more important they wouldnt be allowed to receive their share ofthe revenue collected from tax-paying teams that then gets disbursed tonon-taxpaying teams.When you think about it that way, you can be giving upmillions and millions of dollars.Just cant see that happening. Then again, Ill say this:the fact that were even addressing whether or not the Warriors could go intothe luxury tax is a positive change from the past.So, if the Warriors dont bring back DominicMcGuire, who do you think will? Im sure hell be picked up by someone.Matthew, San FranciscoWashington, D.C.Steinmetz: Heres the thing about McGuire he hadmore of a role than he should have had with the Warriors last season. Andbecause he had more of a role than he should have had, he got an opportunity todo some things (like play point forward and be on the court during crunch time,etc.) that he wouldnt ordinarily have had.Did he prove he could do them? Well, yes, but keep in mindhe was doing them for a team that finished 23-43, and not really even that goodthe final month-plus of the season.What Im getting to here is that I believe McGuiresrelevance on the team last year was skewed because of all the injuries and theopportunities he received. In all likelihood, hes not going to receive themthis year.Also, the Warriors have a re-signed Rush, a second-yearplayer in Klay Thompson, a rookie in Harrison Barnes, a second rookie they likein Draymond Green and a legitimate backup four in Carl Landry. Im not surethat I want McGuire taking minutes from any of those guys specialist ornot.The reality is that McGuire wasnt on a roster last yearwhen the Warriors brought him in. Even coach Mark Jackson would refer to him asa guy who was just sitting around When the Warriors signed McGuire.Taking nothing away from the season McGuire had a year ago,Im just not sure hes as good of a fit on this years team as last. Plus, Imnot saying McGuire isnt good enough to be in the league; in fact, where Ireally seem him fitting in is on an elite-type team.By what general manager Bob Myers said, it seemslike if the Warriors dont make the playoffs Mark Jackson is gone. Do youagree? Daniel, California.Steinmetz: Without trying to be cute or making funof your question because it is a good one Id say this: Welcome to theNBA.Facts are facts and NBA coaches dont have unlimited lifespans. Mark Jackson, whether it was his fault or not, coached the Warriors to a23-43 record in 2011-12.Its only fair, particularly after the offseason theWarriors had, to expect and even demand more. Lets face it, if the Warriorsarent in the Western Conference playoff hunt this upcoming season it meansthat something went drastically wrong.So you know what? Yes, I think if the Warriors dont makethe playoffs Jackson could be in trouble. How could he not be in this day andage of the NBA? Heck, he could be in trouble if the Warriors are doing poorlyhalfway through the season.But that goes for plenty of NBA coaches.Is there pressure on Mark Jackson? Yes, there is. More thanlast year? Yes, definitely. But thats the way it should be when the team yourecoaching clearly improved in the offseason.

Whenever the Wii's best lookers are discussed, it comes down to games like Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Kirby's Epic Yarn, and Muramasa. These are beautiful games that deserve such accolades, but what about the few games that actually made an effort to attempt realism despite the system's limitations?
What game do you think did the best job of creating realistic graphics on the Wii?
