Believing that you are her last chance of escape, Hope asks you to use your hacking skills to manipulate the city's electronics to help free her. It is a strange take on the stealth genre, that has you leading Hope remotely through the oppressive world. The 1984-inspired fiction sees the walls covered with surveillance camer…Watch The Video Review
Superfrog HD Review
Some things - including old and beloved games - are often better left in the past. It isn't that these games were rubbish when they were originally made, rather gaming's constantly evolving nature leaves many games feeling like relics. Team 17's Superfrog HD is a perfect example of this. The problems span issues with both the original 1993 Amiga release of Superfrog, and this new HD remake. Take the controls. Not one of the three interface options provide a decent re…Watch The Video Review
AngerForce - Strikers Review
If you have ever played a shmup then AngerForce - Strikers will hold few surprises. It's a familiar story: a series of vertically-scrolling levels which have you tracing your craft's path a halestorm of bullets, trying to destroy any enemies in your way. AngerForce you offers three characters to choose from, each with their own special attacks. Which you select will be dependent on your play style, with characters like the robot offering powerful laser attacks that do huge d…Watch The Video Review
Leo's Fortune Review
As small green furballs go, Leopold is one of the more industrious. His life as an engineer has earned him a mountain of gold that he treasures above all else. One day he returns home to find it stolen, and immediately sets out in pursuit. Leopold's path is marked by a trail of gold coins. All you have to do to guide him to his prize is follow the sparkling breadcrumb trail across five different lands, each filled with beautifully crafted environments and physics-based platform puzzle…Watch The Video Review
Wayward Souls Review
In theory, games with procedurally generated levels can offer an eternity of gameplay. For this near endless resource to be worth tapping, however, the journey has to be worth revisiting. The moment we stepping into the cruel and unforgiving world of Wayward Souls, we felt oddly at home. Its top-down 2D perspective gives the game a classic 16-bit RPG look, while the brutal permadeath runs and persistent leveling underscore the game's roguelike heratige. Wayward Souls embraces th…Watch The Video Review
The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Review
With a great licence comes a great chance of disappointment. And, we'll admit, before even firing up the game, we were prepared to be underwhelmed by The Amazing Spider-Man 2. Things got off to a shaky start. Gameloft has squeezed an overwhelming amount into its latest movie tie-in, so within moments we were expected to have come to grips with the game's virtual stick, buttons, and touch controls. These, along with a camera that could barely keep up with the action, c…Watch The Video Review
Monument Valley Review
It would be easy to describe Monument Valley as an interactive M.C, Escher lithograph. But, while the game's topsy turvy environments certainly owe much to the Dutch artist's work, giving you the ability to interact with a world of perspective-bending vistas, it is more than just a clever picture come to life. The aim of the game is to guide Princess Ida to the top of a series of towers. There are ten stages to complete, each containing a unique piece of architecture t…Watch The Video Review
Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff Review
Our feelings towards Family Guy as a show oscillate wildly. While at times its offensive jokes can seem cruel and almost bigoted, when they hit their stride the writers and performers can deliver big laughs. What Family Guy: The Quest for Stuff manages to do is strip away any uncertainty, handing you a package containing the show's worst aspects in a box that looks remarkable similar to the one which houses The Simpsons: Tapped Out. The game is predicated on rebuilding the…Watch The Video Review
CLARC Review
CLARC is a block puzzler wrapped in the strangely sympathetic tale of a small repair droid trying to save the world and find love. After an explosion takes out an entire block of the Martian colony he calls home, CLARC is charged with repairing the damage. Before long the little machine finds itself falling in love with a missile, and trying to save the planet from the invading forces of M.O.T.H.E.R. To achieve all of these goals, CLARC has a single tool at his disposal: the ab…Watch The Video Review
Sometimes You Die Review
Describing Sometimes You Die is surprisingly tough. Reducing it to its mechanical elements does the concept a disservice. However, recounting journey runs the risk of ruining the various twists and meta-commentaries contained within it. It asks you to think about what a game is, what you consider fun, and what you are prepared to endure in the name of entertainment. That may sound pretentious - and at its heart Sometimes You Die is just that - but it is none the worse for it…Watch The Video Review
Braveland Review
Braveland embraces its cliched fantasy setting with a gusto we usually reserve for our first coffee of the day. A young man's village attacked by bandits. With everything he holds dear ripped from him, he dons his father's armour and heads after them. It is a wonderfully predictable fantasy story, but one that sets the perfect stage for Braveland's turn-based strategic gameplay. Taking control of the would-be town hero, you fast begin to form a troop of militia from the world's…Watch The Video Review
Frontline Commando 2 Review
Frontline Commando 2 is the latest shooter to emerge from Glu's freemium blaster factory. But, even though it takes the same structure as many of the company's other titles, it does try to stand apart from its stablemates. Though Frontline Commando 2's standard near-future battlefields don't help stand out from the crowd, their visual clarity does. Though the locations and soldiers may look familiar, every environment, enemy, and boss looks crisp and clear on the touchscre…Watch The Video Review
The Voyage Review
The Voyage wastes no time in immersing you in its pirate-themed, puzzle-based world. Your adversary Captain Bucklebeard quickly establishes the game's loose story: a race to find the treasure of Velvet Marley. From here, the puzzles come thick and fast as you make your way through each of The Voyage's 100 increasingly difficult conundrums. Before each new challenge begins you are treated to a quick instruction screen. These are important, as your goal changes dramatically from one puz…Watch The Video Review
Oquonie Review
Oquonie offers no introduction or explanation. It's developer has created a striking and unusual world filled with strange rules and bizarre creatures - but he has left it entirely up to you to make sense of them. You are dropped into a beautifully-drawn isometric environment. Your character looks like a strange, long-necked bird in smart trousers. With no clues as to how to proceed, you must tap and swipe the screen to explore the monochrome landscape. After you've run into a couple…Watch The Video Review
LEGO® Star Wars™: Microfighters Review
The latest Lego game to hit iOS, Lego Star Wars: Microfighters, tries to combine two massive properties - Lego and Star Wars - in the form of a vertical shump. Despite the collective might of huge brands, however, Microfighters never manages to rise above the mundane. All of the game's craft are based on the Star Wars Microfighters toys, which appear as stylishly scaled down interpretations of the movie craft they represent. There are fleets of tiny A-Wings, AT AT-Battle Tanks,…Watch The Video Review

Skill Level Beginner
jQuery is the most popular JavaScript library by far, and it really does make JavaScript easier: easier to navigate and manipulate the DOM, easier to add events, easier to work with animation, and really to do the same things we have been doing all along but with less code. So how do you use it? Well, very simply, what you need to do is go out to jquery.com and just download the JavaScript. You will find that even from the homepage you have a choice of either the development version, which is just the fully readable JavaScript, or a production version, which is 31k after its been minified and gzipped, so it really doesn't add much weight to your web site.
I have actually gone ahead and downloaded both versions to the current folder that I am working with, but I only need the minified one. I have no intention of changing or even reading the other code. And then if I want to use it in my HTML page, I'm simply going to go in and add a link to it. In this case, I'm linking to the minified version. Now you could certainly make an argument here that it's possible to load jQuery, or any other library, with the script tag up in the head of your document. And if I thought I needed it as soon as possible, I might do that, but I'm pretty confident that I can load it down here just fine, though I am making sure that I am loading the jQuery file before any of my own code that might use it.
So what do we then do with it? Now let's start with something simple. Without jQuery, we'd often write lines of code like this: document.getElementById, give it the name of an ID from the HTML, and then work with methods, or in this case a property. I am setting the className= "highlight." With jQuery, I might write this instead: The word jQuery with a lowercase J and an uppercase Q. In the parentheses here, I'm using the number sign or pound sign or hash sign, depending on which country you're from, and then myDiv to indicate that this is an ID.
This is the same way we do this in CSS, and then a dot and then addClass (" highlight"). So you might think well, so what? A little less code, big deal. But here's where it gets interesting. There are two reasons why the jQuery version is preferable. First, with getElementById we need this element to have an ID of myDiv in our HTML, and if it doesn't have an ID in the HTML, we can't get to it, but jQuery is much more flexible that that.
We can give jQuery an ID to find by using the hash or the pound sign, but we can also find other parts of the page that we can't get with getElementById. For example, we can get all the elements with a particular class just by using the dot, the same way we would in CSS. We can get all the elements of a particular tag, like all the paragraphs or all the anchors or all list items. Now this piece in parentheses is known as the selector.
We are telling jQuery what we want it to find, and the selectors are really borrowed from CSS, which is why we use a pound or hash for an ID and a period for a className. And unlike getElementById, which will only work on one individual piece, anything we do with jQuery will automatically work on all of the elements that match the selector that match what we are looking for. Now we can even refine it more than this. We could combine a couple of these. For example, in this case, p.description, give me all the paragraphs that have a class of description already on them. And there are also certain words we can add to further refine this like :first, :last, :contains, :visible.
The way these would be used, again, is combining them with other parts of the selector. So let's take a look at how. So I have switched over to a file of some JavaScript, which I have mostly commented out here, so I can go through this. Right now, we are using the standard DOM way of getElementById, which is going to apply a CSS highlight to this main section here, main article. It looks kind of ugly, but it's proving the point that this actually works. Comment that one out. The JQuery version here would just be finding the div and adding the class of highlight.
We are going to get more into why this is better in just a minute anyway. But we can get more flexible than that. I can simply say JQuery.tourdescription to find all elements with a particular class. Jump back over to the web page and refresh it, and I can actually see that that class is being applied to several different elements on the page. Similarly, I could apply that class to all the elements that were list items just by doing this. This doesn't use the pound sign or the dot; it just says li or p or a for a list item or a paragraph or an anchor tag.
Refresh that page, and we can see that both here where I got list items and down at the bottom it's looking rather ugly, but it proves the point here that it is actually being applied to multiple elements at the same time. We can take that a little further, commenting that one out and then adding the :last to it we will first find all the list items in the entire DOM and then we'll add the class to the very last one. If I refresh this, now we can see that that works as well.
And I can go even better than that. Using the :contains word in jQuery, we can tell that our selector will find all paragraphs and then filter them down to say only the ones that contain the word 'packages' and then add the class of highlight. So saving that, refreshing the page and scanning back up, I can see that it's applying that class to several of them, as long as the paragraph contains the word packages. So with jQuery, there are many ways to get immediately to very specific parts of the page without needing an ID on them.
So with the selector, we are telling jQuery what to look for. Then we have a dot, and then we tell it what we want to do, some action, some change that we are doing. In this case, jQuery find the ID of myDiv and then add the class of highlight. Now the second reason why this is better is that addClass is much more flexible than just using className with our document.getElementById. See, when we use className it's a property. We're just setting it; it will overwrite any classes that were there before.
But when we use addClass with jQuery it adds our new CSS class and keeps any that were there before, so we can start stacking our CSS classes up on our elements. And not only do we have an addClass, we also have a removeClass method in jQuery and a toggleClass method in jQuery, which means if the class is not there, add it; if it is there, remove it. And this is a great little microcosm of what jQuery is all about. It's more accurate. It's more flexible. There are more choices.
It's kind of what you wish JavaScript did in the first place. Now we can make our code even shorter. If you think that typing out jQuery might get a little tedious because it's easy to get the casing of this mixed up, there's a shortcut so we don't have to. We simply replace the word jQuery with the dollar sign. So the general format we are going to use with JQuery is the dollar sign and then in parentheses the selector, or what to find, then a dot, and then some action in any parameters we have to pass about what to do, what do we want to do? So what does the dollar sign mean? Well, the dollar sign is just an alias, a shortcut for jQuery itself.
Unlike languages like PHP, there is nothing magical about the dollar sign in JavaScript; it's just one of the accepted characters in the variable name. Dollar sign here is just a really short variable name that points to jQuery. So what else do we have? Well, we have some great ways of working with effects. So I am going to just uncomment this line of code here at Line 22, which is going to use the dollar sign for jQuery, tell it to find all paragraphs, and then call hide with the parameter of 4000.
Saving that, I am going to jump over to the browser and then just refresh this page. Okay, I might not always want to do that, but what hide is doing, as you can probably tell, is taking 4000 milliseconds, or 4 seconds, to hide all paragraphs. And the great thing is jQuery is taking care of animating all this without us worrying about set interval calls or set timeout calls. So we have got hide. We have got show. We have got slide down, slide up, fade in, fade out, all just as easy to use.
And then there are events. Working with events in jQuery is very simple indeed. If I just uncomment these pieces of code here, we can use the same selectors the dollar sign, in this case an ID of pageID.click, and in this case, passing it an anonymous function. Now what's this one going to do? Well, it's easier to show. Jumping back over and refreshing this page, when I click on word TOURS, it just changes to You clicked me! We are using the #pageID to add the click event and using that same selector and using the text method here to set its text value, rather than having to drill down into the individual text node.
Again, very easy to add an event and very easy to start manipulating that DOM element. Not only that, but jQuery is also very conscious of the word 'this.' So if we use jQuery to add, for example, a click event to all the h2 elements, we can then be smart enough to know which ever particular h2 is clicked will be considered this every time that this function is called, meaning what? Jumping back over to the browser, as we scanned down, I know that these are h2s and when I click each individual one, it knows exactly what caused that event to be raised, so it's smart enough to know which one gets changed.
And very simply, we could combine both jQuery adding events and combine jQuery's animation, so that very easily, refreshing this page, every time we click on the paragraph, it's smart enough to just disappear and fade out. And one last thing here, we are familiar with using window.onload to call some script when we know that the DOM is fully loaded.
One of the problems with window.onload is if you accidentally write it multiple times, only the last one will be paid attention to, whereas in jQuery, we have the $(document).ready function. This does a very similar thing, meaning that the code we put inside here will be executed when the DOM is fully loaded, but if we needed to, we could actually call that same thing multiple times, and we wouldn't have to worry about the last one overriding the first one. In this case, I am calling it twice.
Once I will change the content of this page ID to "The DOM is fully loaded," and then in the next one, I am going to set colors of h1 to red. We refresh that page, and we can see that both of those are being applied. Now this is just a taste, a quick intro. jQuery gets a lot deeper than this, of course. So check out the documentation on jquery.com or take a look at one of several jQuery courses we have here at lynda.com.

Your skin can be contaminated by contact with dangerous chemicals, including some common household and lawn products; biological agents such as anthrax; or dust, dirt, or other substances that might contain radioactive fallout. In many cases, immediately removing all traces of the harmful substance from your skin can minimize any damage it may cause.
Watering or burning eyes and stinging or burning skin are signs that you may have been exposed to something harmful. If you know or suspect a hazardous exposure, take immediate action:
- Remove clothing, jewelry, eyeglasses, and other items in contact with the skin. Seal the items in a plastic bag, and then seal that bag inside a second plastic bag.
- If you wear contact lenses, wash your hands with soap and water, and then remove your contacts.
- Use water and soap to wash any areas that may have been contaminated-in some cases, this may mean your whole body. A shower works best, but you can also use water from a faucet, garden hose, or another source if a shower is not available. Flush eyes with lots of water. A faucet with a handheld sprayer works well.
- Put on clean, uncontaminated clothes if they are available.
- Call your local Poison Control Center or emergency services to find out what to do next. Further medical assistance may or may not be needed.
These are general guidelines for removing contaminants and are appropriate for many-but not all-hazardous substance exposures. Your local Poison Control Center or other local authorities may have more specific instructions for you depending on what you were exposed to, especially if there has been a community-wide exposure.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The most potent weapon in fighting discrimination at the ballot box comes before the Supreme Court in a case that weighs the nation's enormous progress in civil rights against the need to continue to protect minority voters.
The justices are hearing arguments Wednesday in a challenge to the part of the Voting Rights Act that forces those places with a history of discrimination, mainly in the Deep South, to get approval before they make any change in the way elections are held.
The lawsuit from Shelby County, Ala., near Birmingham, says the "dire local conditions" that once justified strict federal oversight of elections no longer exist.
The Obama administration and civil rights groups acknowledge the progress, but they also argue that Congress was justified in renewing the provision in 2006.

Coastal Plain / Piedmont Acidic Seepage Swamps
The habitats occupied by these saturated, deciduous or mixed forests include small headwaters stream bottoms and seeping toe-slopes with acidic, nutrient-poor soils. Similar seepage wetlands are known from most coastal states of the mid-Atlantic region from New York south. In Virginia, communities of this group are scattered throughout the more dissected, inner Coastal Plain and outer Piedmont in habitats where seepage discharged at ground surface is drained away as stream flow. Characterized by diffuse drainage with braided channels and Sphagnum-covered hummocks in a sandy or peaty substrate, these habitats are generally wet and somewhat protected from fire. Dominant overstory species are red maple (Acer rubrum) and blackgum (Nyssa sylvatica), with tulip-tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) and loblolly pine (Pinus taeda) also locally important. Common small trees and shrubs are sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana), sweet pepperbush (Clethra alnifolia), highbush blueberries (Vaccinium spp.), swamp azalea (Rhododendron viscosum), smooth winterberry (Ilex laevigata), and southern wild raisin (Viburnum nudum). Compact dodder (Cuscuta compacta) is often abundantly attached to the stems of shrubs in these swamps. Common herbaceous species include cinnamon fern (Osmundastrum cinnamomeum var. cinnamomeum), netted chain fern (Woodwardia areolata), and the sedges Carex lonchocarpa and Carex seorsa. Less widespread herbaceous species that could be considered more or less diagnostic (within the Coastal Plain context) include skunk cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), kidney-leaved grass-of-parnassus (Parnassia asarifolia), Collins's sedge (Carex collinsii), twining bartonia (Bartonia paniculata ssp. paniculata), and the federally listed swamp-pink (Helonias bullata). Several uncommon odonates (dragonflies and damselflies) depend on forested seeps for breeding habitat. Coastal Plain / Piedmont seepage swamps are relatively small in size and threatened by beaver activities, agricultural pollutants, hydrologic disturbances, and logging. The treatment of these communities and the very similar Mountain / Piedmont Acidic Seepage Swamps as separate ecological groups may be revised in the future.References: McCoy and Fleming (2000), Rawinski (1995).

Organic Thyme
Thyme, Broken Leaf Organic
Thyme is one of the oldest cultivated herbs, used in the cradle of civilization. Today its hearty taste is common in everyday cooking. Thyme is added to soup, stew, clam chowder, stuffing, gumbo, hearty sauces, roast chicken or pork and many vegetable dishes. If you bought our organic thyme in the past, this product is just a bit different, as our normal high quality crop is domestic. Thyme usage has grown dramatically in this past year, consequently the crop supply did not meet the demand, forcing us to look out of the country for organic thyme. Come May we will hope to replenish our supply with a new domestic crop.
Grown in Morocco.

(AP) — People were plucked off rooftops or climbed into their attics to get away from fast-rising waters when nearly 2 feet of rain fell on the Florida Panhandle and Alabama coast, the latest bout of violent weather that began with tornadoes in the Midwest.
Cars were submerged and neighborhoods were inundated, making rescues difficult for hundreds of people who called for help when they were caught off guard by the torrential rains in the span of about 24 hours.
Some people abandoned flooded cars and walked to find help.

In the music industry, drummers usually have a steady but hidden place in the band. The timing of a song lives and dies by the beat. So what would happen if a drummer attempted to step out from behind the drum kit to become the focus of the audience?
Well, the worst case scenario is that the drummer doesn't step out, but brings the microphone in. I've seen plenty of local bands where the drummer was the lead singer, and the result would make me listen to any other music at full blast to clear my ear canals. Yes, even a Barbara Streisand album. Either the singing was horrible, or the drum beats were in line with a leaky faucet.
The middle-case scenario is that the drummer would take over the band after their lead singer ran off to sing about sledgehammers and still draw a bigger fanbase than his old band. This usually leads to very generic beats, something even hair bands weren't doing in the '80s. I'm looking at you, Phil Collins.
The best case scenario is that the drummer steps out, becomes as big, if not more, of a success than his former band, and does it all with enough musical know-how to make us all almost forget that he played drums in the first place until he goes ape-s#!t behind a kit for Tenacious D. Dave Grohl, we salute you.
Now comes Ilan Rubin. You may not know who he is right away. He is the drummer for such bands as Nine Inch Nails, Paramore, and Angels and Airwaves, banging away behind the kit to give the music he is involved in an echoing pulse that reverberates through the listener: the beat. He is also much more than that.
Rubin is the mastermind behind The New Regime, a solo project of his where he steps out from behind the drums to write the music for the other instruments as well. Splicing together the genres of rock, classical, and anything else that fits, Rubin has made The New Regime a concept of music that is constantly evolving as each piece of the puzzle is fitted.
We sat down with Ilan Rubin to discuss music and the latest piece of his musical puzzle, Exhibit A.
Patrick Emmel: You've been involved in some pretty inspiring acts: Lostprophets, Nine Inch Nails, Angels & Airwaves. What made you step out from behind the drum set?
Ilan Rubin: I had always played other instruments, probably since the age of 13. That was when I started taking guitar and bass seriously, and 15 or 16 was when I started playing piano. The thing that made me really start writing music seriously was when I would be in the middle of an album process, say, with Lostprophets. The drums are always the first thing to be recorded, so once I do my part I'd be sitting at home while everyone else was finishing up the album, and that could be months and months and months.
So I kind of just got tired of waiting on other people or having to rely on other people and I thought it was a bit of a shame that I could play these other instruments, basically a whole band's worth of instruments, and not sing because I was too shy to. So I pushed myself to get over that, and at about 18 or 19 years old is when I really started writing seriously. The first 10 songs I'd ever written ended up being Coup, the first album. For me, there isn't anything quite like coming up with an idea, seeing it all the way through to a finished song, and really just completing everything myself from top to bottom. It's pretty addictive.
Patrick: I bet! That kind of plays into the video for "Remission of Guilt"…
Ilan: Yeah!
Patrick: It's just you playing every single instrument and then it's all spliced together. With The New Regime being a solo project, is it hard to find band-mates that will work cohesively with you, or would it be easier to get a cloning machine?
Ilan: It would definitely be easier to get a cloning machine, although it would be a bit more expensive, I'm sure.
It is difficult, but for more reasons than you'd think. First off, it is hard to find the right group of guys to just play everything right. I've had good luck in the past, but even from [live] videos on Youtube, the lineups are always a little bit different. A big factor with that is scheduling. People do different things. Whenever I'm ready and able to do something, it doesn't mean that everyone who played with me last time is ready and able. It's pretty difficult but it always seems to work out when I need to get a band together.
Patrick: Do other band-mates usually get a good feel for what you are trying to accomplish? Because, obviously, you play all the instruments. You know how you want everything to sound. Have you had a few times where you've been, like, "What are you doing?! This is how it's supposed to go!"
Ilan: Well…I've been through about three drummers, I'd say…
Patrick: That's pretty ironic…
Ilan: (laughs) Well, you'd have to think that the thing that would stick out to me the most would be the drumming. I've had a scenario where I really had to tame somebody and have them tone it down, but not in the sense that things need to be performed note by note exactly the way that I did it. For example, my brother Daniel plays bass for me and he knows what I like. He's a very good bass player. He's learned what I've done note for note, but then does his own [thing]. We're both John Paul Jones fans from Led Zeppelin, so he'll know what I like. I want to give everyone a tiny bit to change things up a bit, but stay in the same realm as everyone else.
Patrick: Well, I guess if you didn't do that, you could just call The New Regime something like The Ilan Rubin Project. Did Dave Grohl's rise from behind the drum set of Nirvana to being the frontman for The Foo Fighters inspire you at all to say, "What the hell, I've gotta do this. Drummers can be singers, too!"
Ilan: Honestly, no. I almost started singing more out of a necessity because I picked up these other instruments. If I had to pick a career path or a basic comparison, Dave Grohl would be great, of course, but he didn't have an instrumental part in pursuing something like this.
Patrick: That [Dave Grohl] was the first time I had ever heard of a drummer doing something like this, and now you're really the second I've heard of. Do you know of anyone else?
Ilan: Not really, no. Phil Collins, maybe.
Patrick: Yeeeeah…(laughs), that's a whole other matter.
Ilan: (laughs) Yeah…
Patrick: I heard that you played Woodstock '99 at 11 years old? How did that come about?
Ilan: I started playing drums when I was 7 or 8. At that age my brothers were in high school, so I was playing with their high school band. I don't know exactly how that came about. I believe it had something to do with an internet downloads contest that this particular band won, and the prize was to go perform at Woodstock.
Patrick: Did that start up everything with you getting involved with these bigger acts?
Ilan: No, it was just a nice opportunity. It was good. After that band I joined another small band, and it was really from that band that I was able to tour quite a bit through the US, and I did that from 14 to 16. It was at the end of that band that Lostprophets called. That was a very random thing. I suppose we had some mutual friends or acquaintances, and at that time their drummer decided to leave, they asked around, and my name came up quite a few times. We got together in LA and played and I did a couple songs on their third album, Liberation Transmission. I think that was a very defining moment in taking that step up to the bigger bands. Everything I did from that point forward has just lead into something else. As bizarre as it sounds, that directly led into Nine Inch Nails, and so on.
Patrick: A lot of drummers from the '90s call upon [John] Bonham as their inspiration, but you're part of the new breed of drummers. Who were you inspired by?
Ilan: John Bonham.
Patrick: Still!
Ilan: Favorite drummer of all time!
Patrick: He just keeps on going!
Ilan: When you started with Bonham, I thought you already knew he's my favorite because he's been my favorite ever since I, literally, started playing. I credit my dad to that. My dad was a drummer when he was in high school, maybe early years of college. He was the one that recognized that, when I got up to hit drums that were set up in the garage, I was somewhat playing something. So he said, "If you're going to start playing drums, I want you to listen to this." And he got me Led Zeppelin 1. Ever since then, they've all been my favorites of everything: as individual musicians, as a band, everything. I started playing drums in the '90s, so maybe I can fit into the '90s category.
Patrick: Exhibit A is going to be the first of a series of EPs for The New Regime. For this album concept, do you have an end game like how Lord of the Rings has three definitive parts to the series? Or are you going to be going Exhibit X, Y, Z, Double-Z Infinity, like a Star Wars saga?
Ilan: Well, I do love Star Wars, so I'll probably go with that option. Even if I say three, maybe I'll do three prequels, and then maybe I'll do three more after that.
In all seriousness, I don't like the way EP sounds. It sounds a little too informal for me. The term Exhibits just came out of nowhere for me. I knew that, this year, I wanted to release 2 things that were collectively more music than a single album, but I wanted to split it up. So Exhibit A and Exhibit B were attractive in the way it would be packaged. The other thing that seemed really cool is that, any time in the future that I want to release something that was a bit shorter than an album, I could keep tacking them onto this thing called Exhibits. Say I have a group of eight songs and I really like how these songs go together, it's done, so I can have Exhibit C, I could have another pair, whatever it is. It could be Double-Z Infinity. It's very possible.
Patrick: So the albums are more stream-of-consciousness? You don't have a bank of 30 or 40 songs ready to release?
Ilan: No, I don't do that. I've worked with bands where, when the time comes to write an album, they'll write like 40 songs and piece together an album's worth. I wouldn't pursue anything that I didn't enjoy. I suppose when I have an album's worth ready, I think that's the time to put something out.
Patrick: I was trying to classify your genre…
Ilan: I would be very curious to see what you came up with, because any time someone asks me, "What kind of music is it?" I have no idea what to say.
Patrick: Some things I've listened to, like "Enjoy the Bitterness" from the Speak Through the White Noise album and "Don't Chase It Away" from Exhibit A remind me of dredg, almost an ambient, art-rock vibe. But it also expands into other outlets, so I guess ambient rock is the best I could come up with.
Ilan: That could be a facet of it. Sometimes I would describe part of what it is as rock, but I can't put the whole thing under that category. That would be inaccurate, or downplaying what it is. I like the "ambient rock" thing, because there are quite a few ambient songs like "What Brings Us Down" from Speak Through the White Noise is a good example of that and some stuff I've written for Exhibit B would fall under that category as well. I like that, that's good. And I have to throw in that there's quite a bit of piano based music. There's definitely a classical influence, but when you say "rock" and "classical music", people kind of just scratch their heads and say, "I don't know what that means," but I don't blame them.
Patrick: Hypothetically, if your home was on fire and you could only save one instrument, what would it be? Drum kit, guitar, bass, keyboard, harmonica, kazoo?
Ilan: Sadly, probably the last thing I would try to get out would be the drums.
Patrick: Well, let's pretend that a drum kit is as easy to get out as a guitar.
Ilan: Oh, I'm not. I'm just thinking of how I have everything set up. My friend built a really long guitar rack for me, so I'm thinking, strategically, I could drag them all out, and I have all the keyboards and stuff on a rack so I can drag all those out. That is a really tough question. That question gives me anxiety.
Patrick: (laughs) Sorry about that.
Ilan: That's okay. It's really tough. I love playing drums, of course, but when I'm at home is the time that I get to play everything else.
Patrick: If you could structure how your career with The New Regime would go, who would you emulate in progression and evolution of music, rather than the actual sound?
Ilan: Careers like Radiohead, Depeche Mode, obviously Dave Grohl, Trent Reznor. I love what he's been able to do because he has such an extensive back catalog as Nine Inch Nails, but everything he's been able to do with [film] scoring is fantastic. Because I have such a deep rooted interest in classical music, it would be something I would like to do as well. Since The New Regime is all me, as egomaniacal as that sounds, I view it in the way I read about with composers. I want to maintain and improve the quality of everything that I do.
Patrick: Is there a possibility that, when The New Regime goes on tour again, or maybe you've already done this, you start off the show with you running around to each instrument? Not as a whole performance, of course, but as a light-hearted goof?
Ilan: It's the sort of thing where, if it can be done tastefully and for the sake of entertainment, people would enjoy that. I say tasteful because I don't want to look like some egotistical prick just saying, "Hey, look what I can do," you know what I mean? If it could come across in the right way, I think it could definitely be fun.
Going back to that "Remission of Guilt" video. It was the sort of thing where, because I chose to package what I do as The New Regime but not by my name, people still don't put it together that it's all just me. With that song, it kind of naturally built up where an instrument would be coming in one at a time. That idea, in my mind, only worked tastefully because that song allowed it [the idea] to build itself up. I wouldn't want to do one where there was just 5 of me jamming together.
Patrick Emmel's only real activity in music was playing the clarinet from age 8-18 and singing horrible grunge love songs in the vein of Kurt Cobain while he was in high school. Then he got his tongue pierced and couldn't do either, thankfully. You can see more of his work at www.theineptowl.com or heckle him on Twitter @Patrick_AE.

ESPN Ranks 2012 SEC QBs
Posted 02 March 2012 - 10:35 AM
The quarterback position in the SEC is looking up in 2012 after a so-so season a year ago.
With spring practice set to begin for several teams, we'll take our shot at ranking the projected starters heading into the spring.
This list may and probably will change by the time we get to September. There are always surprises, and you never know how the new guys are going to respond.
A few of the quarterbacks are coming off of injuries, and several of the starting jobs are still up for grabs.
So look at this ranking as a pecking order of who you would pick to be your quarterback in the fall based on what you know right now about that player, his prior experience in the college game, his projected impact in the fall and how much progress you expect him to make over the next six months leading up to the season.
Here's what we came up with pre-spring:
1. Tyler Wilson, Sr., Arkansas: He seriously considered turning pro, and a lot of the analysts felt like he would have gone in the top two rounds. Wilson threw for 3,638 yards and 24 touchdowns and was intercepted just six times in his first season as a starter last year. His best football is ahead of him.
2. Aaron Murray, Jr., Georgia: The only knock on Murray is his interceptions. He threw 14 picks last season, but he also set a school record with 35 touchdown passes. Most of his receiving corps is back in 2012, so look for him to take it to another level next season and break even more records.
3. James Franklin, Jr., Missouri: Granted, he'll be going against SEC defenses for the first time in the fall, but Franklin has proven that he can be effective both running and passing. He just missed 1,000 yards rushing last season (981) and passed for 2,865 yards. He accounted for 36 touchdowns and is the essence of a multi-purpose threat.
4. AJ McCarron, Jr., Alabama: McCarron was outstanding at protecting the ball all of last season, and when the Alabama coaches asked him to step up his game, he delivered in the BCS National Championship Game with an MVP performance. He has all the physical tools to have a breakout season in 2012, and he now has the experience, too.
5. Tyler Bray, Jr., Tennessee: Bray got off to a super start last season before breaking his thumb against Georgia in the fifth game. He's still looking for his first marquee win, but has the arm strength to make the kind of throws few quarterbacks can. His receiving corps should be excellent, although the jury is still out on Bray as a leader.
6. Connor Shaw, Jr., South Carolina: One of the most improved quarterbacks in the league, Shaw closed the 2011 season on fire. He's never going to be a big pocket passer, but he's good on the move and always a threat to take off and run. The Gamecocks have the whole offseason to gear what they do offensively around Shaw's strengths and expand their zone read package.
7. Zach Mettenberger, Jr., LSU: Everybody on the Bayou is eager to see Mettenberger's big arm. LSU coach Les Miles says the Tigers are going to put that big arm to good use next season and throw the ball more. Mettenberger has waited his turn. Once he gains a little experience, he has a chance to be one of the elite quarterbacks in the league.
8. Jordan Rodgers, Sr., Vanderbilt: Once he took over as Vanderbilt's starter last season, the Commodores took off offensively. In particular, they were able to hit more big plays down the field. Rodgers makes things happen with his ability to run and can also throw it. He needs to cut down on his interceptions.
9. Clint Moseley, Jr., Auburn: With first-year offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler taking over, Moseley's ability to throw the ball from the pocket should give him an edge. He still has to beat out Kiehl Frazier for the job, and that's going to be a battle. But the experience of starting toward the end of last season should help Moseley.
10. Tyler Russell, Jr., Mississippi State: Russell banged up his knee in bowl practice back in December, so he could be limited this spring. He got his chance to start some in the second half of the season a year ago, and there's no question that he can throw it. But he still has to prove he can do all the other things it takes to be a good quarterback in this league.
11. Jacoby Brissett, So., Florida: Talk about being thrown into the fire. Brissett was forced into action against Alabama and then started the next two games against LSU and Auburn last season as a true freshman. He'll have a battle on his hands this spring with Jeff Driskel, and it's a battle that will probably go into the preseason.
12. Bo Wallace, So., Ole Miss: His junior college numbers last season were eye-popping, and he still has to go out and win the job this spring. But Wallace knows Hugh Freeze's system, and at 6-5, has the arm and the presence in the pocket to put up big numbers. Even so, there's a learning curve in this league for all first-year quarterbacks.
13. Maxwell Smith, So., Kentucky: After Morgan Newton struggled with injuries and inconsistency last season, Smith got his chance to see if he could jump-start Kentucky's offense late in the season. He showed some promise before getting banged up and having to miss the Tennessee game. Newton is out this spring after undergoing shoulder surgery, but will challenge for the job in the fall.
14. Jameill Showers, So., Texas A&M: Kevin Sumlin takes over in College Station with a group of quarterbacks that have virtually no college experience. Showers played in four games last season while backing up Ryan Tannehill and threw only five passes. He's the front-runner going into the spring, but Sumlin has made it clear that the competition will be wide open.

Yeah, but he also threw 35 TD's, 11 more than Wilson did. Murray gets all his receivers back while Wilson loses all of his. Just sayin'. Not gonna argue much over it either way, but there's definitely a case to put Murray at the top of the list.

Murray's good, but his TD:Int ratio was less than 3:1. Wilson's was 4:1 and threw for more yards.
Its close, but at this point I'd have to say Murray is #2, and there's not much of an argument to move him ahead of Wilson as of now.

Edit: I would have put Shaw over Bray. Bray is going to have a really good receiving corps to throw to this year, but every time I watched USC play, Shaw was somehow making something happen whether with his arm or legs.

That being said, I still have Wilson #1.

Guided By Voices June Salutes You! Lyrics
Last updated: 08/02/2002 12:44:06 AM
I know when it's coming
And it's not a bad thing
You wouldn't hold back
If you wanted to sing
You'd say "hey,
look over there"
June salutes you
With her oncoming glare
Like a chain in a gun
Like a call in the sun
Like a bell or a spell
Like an angel
With stars circling round her head
I wanna be there
For each hopeless affair
Out of bucks and out of blame
But I can do it just the same
We're saying
"Come and intercept our love" (three times)
Lasting forever
For rain and wet weather
Enjoy us employ us
We'll serve it in a time of need
Hey, June salutes you
From the fundamental champs
And Tammy and the Amps
We're singing
"Come and intercept our love" (three times)

Can Seattle sustain another major sports venue?
By Ashley Gross
Could a new basketball and hockey arena hurt ticket sales for other teams in the city? That's what some King County officials are worried about. The fear is that Seattle could end up with too many big-time sports teams and that there wouldn't be enough entertainment dollars to go around.

Definition of overeat in English:
verb (past overate; past participle overeaten)[no object] (usually as noun overeating)
Eat too much: the effect of overeating is weight gain
More example sentences
- Overweight people often have low self-esteem, easily adopt the role of a failure and even punish themselves by overeating again.

For the powersports customer looking for extra protection on a UTV or ATV, Warn Industries (Booth 2741) has launched a new line of underbody armor for the Arctic Cat Prowler, Polaris Ranger and Yamaha Rhino, as well as many large-bore quads.
Warn products making their debut this weekend include durable A-arm guards and skid plates for UTVs and ATVs and robust Rock Sliders to protect the sides of UTVs. All hardware is included; the parts use existing hardware attachment locations whenever possible to ensure proper fit. All Warn Body Armor is made from T5052 aluminum.
"We've engineered our Body Armor to have minimal effect on the riding experience while providing superior protection," says Warn's Patrick Storm. "Clearance and approach angles are maintained as much as possible, and there are strategically placed drain holes to allow adequate drainage and minimize mud buildup. You won't have to worry about removing the armor for oil changes because we've incorporated an oil drain plughole."
Warn also is debuting a Wireless Control System, and four versions of the Warn RT (Rugged Terrain) series winches and three versions of the XT (Extreme Terrain) series winches. — Guido Ebert

Trainer Freddie Roach has called the skills of four-division titlewinner Juan Manuel Marquez "style-wise, the hardest style in the world" for Manny Pacquiao, whom he will meet for the fourth time on Dec. 8 at the MGM Grand.
Pacquiao (54-4-2, 38 knockouts) has chosen to face Marquez (54-6-1, 39 KOs) over a rematch with Tim Bradley (29-0, 12 KOs), whose controversial split-decision in June dethroned Pacquiao as the WBO's 147-pound titleholder.
In November, Pacquiao won an unpopular and highly-disputed majority decision over Marquez, who has also battled Pacquiao through a draw and a split-decision loss previously. Bradley ended a 15-bout winning streak for Pacquaio that included eight knockouts.
"We have Marquez three times using all kinds of strategy. It's time to throw logic out the window and start over," said Roach, re-iterating his point during a Wednesday press conference at the Edison Ballroom in New York's Time Square, where he, Pacquiao and Marquez took part in the second stop of a three-city jaunt that began in Los Angeles on Monday and will end on Friday in Marquez's hometown of Mexico City.
"Marquez is the smartest fighter of his era. Manny has shown him too much respect in the past two fights. This time Manny will go after him like the first fight. Manny told me he knows he needs a knockout. He's never said that before. My job is to reignite the killer instinct Manny has lacked in the last fights with Marquez."
Pacquiao dropped Marquez three times in their first fight, which ended in a draw as featherweights in May of 2004. Marquez was dropped once during their second meeting, a split-decision triumph for Pacquiao as junior lightweights in March of 2008.
Marquez believes himself to be the winner of all three fights, particularly the last one, during which he never hit the canvas.
"I need to prove nothing except to have the referee raise my hand in victory," said Marquez. "We know each other well. It will be a great fight in December. I can't wait to win again."

Gay Writers Enjoy an Evening in the Spotlight
GLBT literature enjoyed an evening of glamour last night, courtesy of the 24th annual Lambda Literary Awards, held at the CUNY Graduate Center on 5th Avenue in Manhattan. Finalists for awards in categories ranging from lesbian poetry to transgender nonfiction were feted by fellow writers and a healthy splash of celebrity award presenters including Ally Sheedy, Anthony Rapp and Olympia Dukakis.
Master of ceremonies Kate Clinton kept the sold-out audience chuckling and the awards, or "Lammys," moving at a steady clip. Addressing people from out of town in the audience, she warned them, "If you want a Big Gulp, or a cigarette in the park, you'll have to go to New Jersey now." Early in the show she told everyone, "thank you for coming out," which drew whoops from the jubilant audience.
The biggest awards of the evening were the Pioneer awards, which went to Armistead Maupin, author of "Tales of the City," and Kate Millett, a writer and activist whose PhD thesis "Sexual Politics" caused a stir when published in 1970.
Fittingly, Maupin's award was presented to him by Olympia Dukakis, who played the character Anna Madrigal in the television version of his "Tales of the City," which was first published as serial fiction in a newspaper. Dukakis told the audience that Anna Madrigal was the most important role that she'd played. Because of it, she said, "I understood that the most important thing was to survive myself."
A frequent theme throughout the evening was that many of the writers felt that GLBT literature had rescued them in their younger days by letting them know early in life that they weren't alone. Kate Millett said during her acceptance that she had originally thought she was the only lesbian in the world. Rahul Mehta, winner in the category of Gay Debut Fiction for his book "Quarantine: Stories," told his own story of attending his first gay student organization meeting in college and being too afraid to sign in with his real name. Clinton began the awards by saying "LGBT writing saved my life."
But there were plenty of laughs between serious moments. When presenting the award for LGBT Sci-fi, Fantasy, and Horror, presenter Liz Scheier said that the category "coincidentally sounds a lot like Michelle Bachmann's marriage."

Scotland's strong history of scientific innovation and discovery continues to fuel the nation's life sciences industry. Today, this small European nation of just over five million people has established global leadership in stem cell research, biomanufacturing, medical devices, genomics, bioinformatics, and drug discovery and development. Strong government support in combination with a highly skilled international workforce and a thriving academic environment has provided the necessary tools and foundation for Scotland to defy boundaries in nearly every area of biomedical research. Furthermore, Scotland's significant scientific contributions in the field of medicine, including CAT scans, MRIs, and unprecedented expertise in cloning (i.e., Dolly the sheep), have helped quickly establish a reputation as one of the world's preeminent leaders in life sciences and biotechnology.
In the past year alone, Scottish researchers have made remarkable progress in a wide variety of life sciences disciplines, including internationally acclaimed work in stem cells, regenerative medicine, and gene therapy delivery technology. Most recently, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals ( http://www.wyeth.com/) has formed a partnership with Scotland to form one of the largest translational medicine collaborations in the world.
There have also been several major breakthroughs in Scottish universities, including the University of Dundee ( http://www.dundee.ac.uk/), where one research collaboration led to the discovery of the gene that predisposes people to eczema and another made significant progress in understanding how changes in a gene's behavior lead to diseases such as cancer and Alzheimer's disease.
As one of the most successful life sciences centers in Europe, Scotland houses more than 20% of the UK's biotech companies. It continues to stand as a world leader in life sciences with international partnerships, an attractive regulatory environment, robust capital investments from the government, and funding from private venture capital firms.
To help ensure this forward momentum, the Scottish government continues to leverage its international economic development agency, Scottish Development International (SDI, http://www.sdi.co.uk/). Since SDI's formation, the agency has produced resounding results working with the life sciences industry, and continues to be successful in attracting foreign investment and skilled scientists from around the world.
Furthermore, Scotland's Intermediary Technology Institute (ITI, http://www.itilifesciences.com/) for life sciences has been highly effective in identifying potential opportunities to commission, manage, and develop projects in emerging technologies across the broad spectrum of life sciences. Launched in September 2003 as part of the Scottish Executive's commitment to technology, commercialization, and development, ITI Life Sciences has a proven track record in using intellectual assets generated by these research projects to increase the strength and sustainability of life sciences companies and organizations based in Scotland. This strategic initiative will continue to invest $280 million over the next 10 years to increase competitiveness in several of its key technology sectors, including life sciences.

National editor's pick of the top news stories in the nation and world at this hour:
Three women rescued after years of captivity in Cleveland
Three young women who disappeared separately as teenagers a decade ago in Cleveland were rescued Monday from a home where they had apparently been held captive for up to 11 years. Three brothers in their 50s were arrested, including Ariel Castro, a former school bus driver who owned the home. The three women rescued were Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight, who disappeared in 2002, 2003 and 2004, along with a 6-year-old girl believed to be Berry's daughter. Police did not say whom they believed the father was or where the child was born. A neighbor helped Berry escape after she flagged him down and screamed for help, and then she made a frantic call to a 911 dispatcher in which she said: "Help me. I'm Amanda Berry. I've been kidnapped and I've been missing for 10 years and I'm, I'm here, I'm free now." The three women appeared to be in good health and were taken to a hospital to be evaluated and reunited with relatives. A neighbor, Elsie Cintron, said her daughter once saw a naked woman crawling on her hands and knees in the backyard of the house several years ago and called police. "But they didn't take it seriously," she said.
S.C. voters choose between Sanford and Colbert Busch
South Carolina voters went to the polls Tuesday to choose between a philandering former governor and a comedian's sister for a seat in Congress. Republican Mark Sanford, who made a national joke out of the phrase "hiking the Appalachian Trail" by claiming that's what he was doing when he was really visiting his mistress in Argentina, told reporters he won't run for office again if he fails to recapture the seat he once held for three terms. Democrat Elizabeth Colbert Busch, the sister of Comedy Central host Stephen Colbert, said she felt positive and encouraged, and she predicted victory as she cast her vote in Mount Pleasant. Gibbs Knotts, chairman of the political science department at the College of Charleston, said it would be a close election that would hinge on turnout.
Gas tanker explosion in Mexico kills at least 18
A gas tanker exploded on a highway outside Mexico City early Tuesday, killing at least 18 people and injuring three dozen, authorities said. Emergency workers were still searching the charred remains of cars and homes in the northern suburb of Ecatepec and were fearful of finding more victims. A huge piece of the truck's gas tank was blown a hundred yards by the explosion, landing on a wall and cars parked outside. The pre-dawn accident exposed two recurring safety issues in Mexico: extremely heavy trucks that are frequently involved in serious accidents, and the construction of improvised homes just feet from major highways. Some of the cinder-block homes hit by the massive explosion were just steps away from the busy, six-lane highway.
Philippine volcano eruption kills five climbers
The Philippines' Mayon volcano unexpectedly erupted Tuesday, raining rocks "as big as a living room" on nearly 30 mountain climbers, five of whom were killed, a guide said. Many of the others suffered injuries when rocks, ash and smoke exploded from the volcano, which they were climbing at daybreak after spending the night camping, guide Kenneth Jesalva told a TV station by cellphone. The surviving climbers were being rescued with helicopters and rope, and some were in critical condition. Among the dead were three Germans and their Filipino guide. Eight people were injured and were being brought down the mountain. "The injured are all foreigners. ... They cannot walk," said provincial Gov. Joey Salceda. "If you can imagine, the boulders there are as big as cars. Some of them slid and rolled down. We will rappel the rescue team, and we will rappel them up again."
Chris Christie had secret weight-loss surgery
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie secretly underwent weight-loss surgery in February, and he says he did it for his family, not because he wants to run for president. The obese Republican governor went through gastric band surgery, in which a band is placed around the stomach to restrict the amount of food one can eat, his spokesman confirmed to the Associated Press on Tuesday. Christie, who turned 50 in September, told the New York Post, "I've struggled with this issue for 20 years. For me, this is about turning 50 and looking at my children and wanting to be there for them." In February, Christie poked fun at his own weight by pulling out a doughnut and chomping it on "The Late Show with David Letterman." But when a former White House physician, Dr. Connie Mariano, said she was worried about Christie dying in office, the governor was so angry he told her to "shut up." Christie wouldn't say how much weight he'd lost since the surgery, but he did tell the Post, "A week or two ago, I went to a steakhouse and ordered a steak and ate about a third of it and I was full."

Forums Lobby MASTER YOUR NIKON CAMERA Nikon D750/D700 topic #2363
Pixel out on LCD screen
timgreer Registered since 20th Aug 2004
Wed 13-Aug-08 03:30 PM
I just received my D700 Monday and am loving it so far. After shooting with it the past couple of days, I noticed a pixel that was out on the LCD screen. Fortunately, I does not show up on my shots later uploaded to the computer, at first I wasn't sure if it was the screen or the sensor. I'm going back and forth whether or not to send it back but what if I get a different one with a completely new problem? Since they're in high demand, I wonder if it would be better just to suck it up and hold onto to it instead of returning it for a new one. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

NEA Ad Buy: $15 Million
One of the nation's largest labor unions announced a $15 million television and radio buy to help mostly Democratic candidates.
The campaign by the National Education Association — part of its overall $40-million effort this fall — is among the largest independent advertising expenditures so far in the 2010 election, dwarfing a big ad buy announced Tuesday by top Republican outside groups.
American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS, two affiliated GOP groups, announced a $4 million ad blitz on Tuesday, sparking a complaint to the IRS. The two groups have received a ton of media attention and have been blasted by Democrats for getting involved in elections. Together, they have spent $14 million this election season.
Of course, there's a big difference between the GOP groups and the NEA: The teachers union must publicly disclose sources of its funding for politicking while most of the donations to American Crossroads and Crossroads GPS can be kept secret.
The first NEA ads began airing today in Arizona to help second-term Democratic Rep. Harry Mitchell, a former high school teacher. The group started ads in Ohio to help Democratic Rep. Betty Sutton. The union also sent 75,000 pieces of mail to voters in North Carolina asking them to support Democratic Rep. Larry Kissell, a former social studies teacher.
"The elections are less than a month away. We've got to get the word out about who the real public education champions are and what voters need to do to get them elected," said Karen White, the director of the union's campaigns and elections department.
The union says it will be most active in five Senate races and 22 House campaigns.

All Shall Perish's new effort "This is Where it Ends," leaves one without many words. Not because it is so unspeakably awful as to defy description, nor because it is so perfect that the clumsy words of mortals would fail to describe it.
Rather, the album simply is what it is. Which likely sounds to the reader like an aircraft-carrier-sized cop out. Maybe it is. Still, better that than to talk in circles without really saying anything.

ALBANY, N.Y. — New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's plan to use clean water funds to help pay for the new Tappan Zee Bridge has been approved by a key state board.
The state Thruway Authority board voted Wednesday to accept the $256 million, five-year loan from the state's Environmental Facilities Corp. The Authority plans to request a second $256 million loan, perhaps next year.
Environmental groups have opposed the loans, saying it's wrong to finance a bridge with federal funds intended for drinking water and sewage treatment projects.
The federal Environmental Protection Agency has also questioned the move and is now reviewing the state's proposal.
Cuomo's administration says the funding plan will help minimize tolls on the $3.9 billion span being built to replace the existing bridge north of New York City.

MARIETTA, Ga. (AP) -- The so-called "Barbie Bandits" were sentenced Monday in Cobb County Superior Court in Marietta.
Twenty-year-old Heather Lyn Johnston was sentenced to 10 years probation for a bank heist at a Bank of America branch at a Kroger store in Acworth on February 27th, 2007.
19-year old Ashley MIller will spend two years in prison, and be on probation for eight years on theft and drug convictions.
Johnston pleaded guilty to theft by taking and misdemeanor marijuana possession.
A former teller at the bank, Benny Allen, received a ten year sentence and will serve five. He judge gave him a harsher sentence because he said Allen did not testify truthfully in the trial of another co-defendant.
That man, Michael Chastang, went to try and was convicted of helping to plot the heist. He will be sentenced Tuesday.
Authorities say the young men went shopping at Lenox Square mall and Phipps Plaza after the heist. They also got their hair done.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

We're still waiting for a definite date for the Galaxy S III here in the US (on any carrier) but our friends north of the border have a little more information today, MobileSyrup spotted the Galaxy S III in an ad set for a June 20th release, and that's not the best news: it's headed for Canada's own "big four", Rogers, Bell, Telus and Virgin Mobile.
This is a long way from an official confirmation, but it's certainly promising. Samsung has said that it intends to bring its new flagship to the Americas sometime this summer, and that certainly fits, along with the fact that the Galaxy S family has proven popular with just about every major carrier in both countries. We can but hope that Canucks can get their Galaxy S III on in less than a month.
The better question is which version of the phone will make it to which carriers. We know that because of the hardware limitations of Samsung's Exynos 4 Quad, Verizon's model (and probably AT&T's as well) will go with a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4, just as the HTC One X has, in order to operate on LTE networks. Rogers, Bell and Telus all use LTE on limited markets, but Virgin Mobile doesn't.
The Galaxy S III is set to launch on May 29th in Europe, and the day after in the UK. A few units of the international version are already leaking out in Dubai. There's still no confirmation of when it will launch in the US, though versions for all four major carriers have been indicated.
