For more than 16 years, Backstreet Boys have delivered the very finest pop music has to offer – tightly crafted songs, floor-shaking rhythms, and unmistakable harmonies. The new "THIS IS US" showcases their preeminent pop mastery with a collection of indelible tracks that surely rank among their biggest and best hits. After mastering an organic, more adult contemporary flavor on 2005's "NEVER GONE" and 2007's "UNBREAKABLE," the new album sees Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, and AJ McLean revisiting the groundbreaking dance-pop sound that first made them international superstars. Songs like "PDA" "Bye Bye Love," and the RedOne-produced first single, "Straight Through My Heart" are classic BSB, bursting with big hooks, unforgettable melodies, and high-energy rhythms that both highlights the group's classic sound and vision while also placing it squarely in the here and now.
"This record here," says Howie Dorough, "we reached back into what made us who we are – that's great pop melodies, great harmonies – and made it current and relevant."
"We made a conscious effort to go back to being ourselves," notes Brian Littrell. "It's important for the fans to remember what was, but it's also important for them to know where we're headed."
One of the most successful groups in music history, with countless #1s, record-setting tours, and worldwide sales in excess of 100 million, Backstreet Boys are also among pop's most influential. Turn on the radio and you're certain to hear massive melodies melded with Eurodance grooves, a modern pop style inextricably rooted in the group's innovative approach.
"When we first started," says AJ McLean, "the Euro sound wasn't really happening yet, but it led to Britney and 'N Sync and all those other people that came after us. Now music is going back in that same direction, with great pop songs that are just as rhythmic as they are melodic. That's what and who we are."
The "THIS IS US" sessions kicked off in April 2008, while the group – a quartet since 2006, when founding member Kevin Richardson left to start a family – was still in the midst of the "UNBREAKABLE" world tour. Backstreet Boys took a short pause in the itinerary and teamed with producer Ryan Tedder (of OneRepublic fame) in a Manchester, England studio to record what would become the album's closing track, "Undone." The Boys were fighting fit from having been on the road and as a result, the song crackles with the same electricity the group puts out on stage every night.
"This was the very first time we were recording while we were touring another record," Littrell says. "We've always taken a year or so off to really get out of touring mode, but this time we wanted to try and get that energy from our live show onto the record."
Almost immediately upon the tour's conclusion, Backstreet Boys resumed recording at L.A.'s Conway Studios – "one of the most chill places to record," according to McLean. To truly put their own creative stamp on the album, the group personally reached out to some of their very favorite producers and songwriters, just about all of whom were thrilled for the chance to work with the Boys.
"We took it into our own hands to call and develop personal relationships with all the producers and writers," explains Nick Carter. "And for the most part, they were just as excited to work with us as we were to work with them."
One producer with whom the Boys already had a rapport is the legendary Max Martin. The Swedish studio superstar – who was behind the boards for such BSB classics as "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)," "I Want It That Way" "Larger Than Life," and "Show Me The Meaning Of Being Lonely" – dined with the group when the "UNBREAKABLE" world tour hit Stockholm and right away, sensed that their passion for making music was in fact greater than ever before.
"He really saw the fire in our eyes," Littrell says, "like we were young kids again. If there was one producer I had to pick to join the Backstreet Boys, I'd pick Max. He understands us inside and out."
Perhaps it's something in the water, but Sweden's current hottest hitmaker, RedOne, also had a faultless grasp of the Backstreet Boys signature sound. One of the most in-demand collaborators in the world, thanks to his work with Akon, Lady Gaga, and Enrique Iglesias, to name but a few, the producer was initially too busy to work on "THIS IS US." But just as Backstreet Boys were wrapping up the recording, word arrived that RedOne had indeed crafted a couple of tracks, one of which marked the album's definitive musical moment.
"We had almost closed the door on the record before it happened," Dorough says. "I'm so glad we didn't, because RedOne was able to capture the sound we were looking for, especially on 'Straight Through My Heart.' It's this great mixture of Eurodance-meets-our pop/R&B sound, which is kind of like where we started."
"It was exactly what we were looking for," McLean says of the single, "the exact all-around sound that was perfect for everything we needed. It's a great song, especially for the fans who want to hear us being us again."
At the same time, Backstreet Boys also opted to stray from their comfort zone by collaborating with a number of producer/songwriters better known for their work in other genres. The one and only T-Pain put his trademark sound on the sizzling slow jam, "She's A Dream," while Claude Kelly – famed for writing such hits as Britney Spears' "Circus" and Kelly Clarkson's #1 "My Life Would Suck Without You" – paired up with the team of Soulshock & Karlin (JoJo, Fantasia, Nelly) to produce two of the album's hottest tracks, "Bye Bye Love" and "If I Knew Then."
"We really wanted to push the envelope with this record," Dorough says. "We wanted to reach out to some writers that people wouldn't have expected us to reach out to."
"Working with Jim Jonsin or somebody else that people wouldn't necessarily see us working with," Carter says, "that's just our creative side coming out."
The collaboration with Jim Jonsin proved one of the album's most productive partnerships, yielding three songs including the explosive title track. Best known for helming hip-hop hits by T.I., Soulja Boy Tell Em, and Flo Rida, the Grammy Award-winning producer astounded BSB by confessing his lifelong affinity for the group's music.
"It was like, 'Hold on a second, you're a fan?,'" Carter laughs. "'You're one of the baddest beatmakers right now!'"
Among the Florida-based Jonsin's key contributions to "THIS IS US" is bringing the group back to its own homestate roots with the Miami Trance-flavored "Helpless." Hailed by Carter as "the Don of hip-hop" for his countless connections, the producer nailed the track by reaching into his little black book to procure a razor-sharp verse from yet another Miami-based star.
"We came into the studio and Jim said, 'I've got a surprise for you,'" Nick recalls. "We were like, 'What do you mean? No one surprises the Backstreet Boys.' But he had sent the track to Miami and had Pitbull put a verse on it. We're all huge fans of Pitbull's, so it was just awesome!"
Despite the smorgasbord of producers and songwriters, "THIS IS US" is ultimately made a cohesive work by the Boys themselves. "We're a vocal group first," avows Carter, and the album makes plain how BSB's purest artistic stamp comes via the magic of four distinctive singers performing in tightly knit harmony. Their unified voices reveal Backstreet Boys as still in thrall to making the most vital music imaginable, constantly striving to create influential, unforgettable pop.
"We always want to top our past albums," says Carter. "That's always our objective, to create an album where every song could be a single."
"Our goal is always to push ourselves as much as possible," adds Dorough. "We're always working to become better musicians, songwriters, singers. "
"We want to continue to move forward," promises Littrell. "We want Backstreet Boys to keep setting the template and raising the bar."
With "THIS IS US," that bar has just been raised a little higher…

April 5, 2009 April 4, 2011 Self-taught artist Jim Keffer laughingly considers himself a late bloomer. Although he thought of himself as an artist from the age of 5, Keffer spent his first 46 years "gathering material" as he calls it. He began his career as an artist in 1996 creating handcrafted, carved and painted wooden furniture. From there, he began to actively pursue his creative instincts and in 1998 started to experiment with applying paint to canvas. Now, Keffer's work is collected worldwide and has been enjoyed at gallery and juried art shows in Taos and Santa Fe, New Mexico; Bentonville, Arkansas; as well as Oklahoma City, Guthrie and Cushing. "I look at all those years before as a time when I was absorbing material, thinking and reflecting. When the time was right, I became the artist I had always thought myself to be," Keffer explained. In his exhibit, The Road Less Traveled: Slapout to Taos, this Oklahoma City artist paints in a colorful style he describes as contemporary primitivism. Much of his inspiration comes from his love of painting small churches, old barns and abandoned buildings in rural Oklahoma and New Mexico. Keffer said that each painting begins with a real place. "My paintings are like life where one starts with a blank canvas. I first add an overall coat of acrylic color, almost always red, creating a bright undercoat similar to the sun coming up chasing away the darkness." He then interprets the places he has seen creating shapes and places where paint is added layer upon layer, "just as one sets to work, fulfills the plan and adjusts to the new day's needs." Keffer says he is not totally in charge of the outcome. "Paintings take on a life of their own. I add the final colors and the painting is finished. For better or for worse. One learns." In his art, as in life, Keffer doesn't waste brush strokes or words. Capitol Exhibitions The Capitol is home to four art galleries, exhibiting works of current and past Oklahoma artists.

A 69-year-old O'Fallon man has been charged by Murfreesboro, Tenn., police with multiple felony counts of sexual misconduct with a 9-year-old female relative.
According to a Murfreesboro police report, Larry G. Carter of 13 Joshua Drive was taken into custody Feb. 18 in O'Fallon by the Rutherford County Sheriff's Department.
Carter was indicted by the Rutherford County, Tenn., February grand jury.
O'Fallon Detective William Barlock had picked up Carter and held him until Rutherford County deputies arrived. Carter was then transported back to Murfreesboro to be booked under two counts of class A felony child rape, two counts of class D felony sexual exploitation of a minor and two counts of class C felony incest.
Carter was released from the Rutherford County jail shortly after posting a $150,000 cash bond.
O'Fallon Capt. Jeff Wild said O'Fallon police became involved after receiving a call from the Tennessee Department of Children Services on Nov. 8.
"It was reported to us that a little girl was potentially abused by her (relative) at his O'Fallon residence where the alleged offense took place," Wild said.
O'Fallon police officers followed up on the report. Carter was picked up and interviewed on Dec. 27. Wild said he suspects Tennessee officials probably have more evidence at this time, which may explain why Carter was handed over to Rutherford County Sheriff's office officials.
The O'Fallon Police Department's investigation is waiting a response from the St. Clair County State's Attorney's office on whether warrants will be issued.

Mary carefully eases open her front door to avoid squashing her small dog and alarming her pet bird, which starts squawking even before she put the key in the lock.
Her snake is sleeping soundly in the kitchen.
The 70-year-old's menagerie is crammed into the two-bedroom flat in central Hong Kong she shares with her son, a 39-year-old bachelor she affectionately refers to as "my boy."
"Sometimes it's more work being out," she said, mopping up a puddle of dog pee near the kitchen door.
Basic and homely, the flat measures 569 square feet and, according to local property websites, is worth more than HK$5 million ($644,400) to buy, or around HK$20,000 (US$2,577) each month to rent.
"If I didn't buy the flat at the time, I think now, I cannot afford. Because the price goes up, double," said Mary, who would prefer her surname wasn't published. Mary can't remember exactly when she bought it. Maybe she said it was "10, 15 years ago."
On July 1, Hong Kong marks 15 years since its handover from British to Chinese rule. The Special Administrative Region (S.A.R) of China is governed by a chief executive, the latest of whom, Leung Chun-ying, or CY Leung, will formally take over the role on the same day.
Leung has a tough task ahead of him in balancing the demands of the Hong Kong population, along with the influence, explicitly stated or not, of the central leadership in Beijing. In the days before his formal elevation to the role of CEO, Leung made local newspaper headlines with his repeated apologies for six illegal structures at his lavish home on Victoria Peak.
The upmarket area on the lush mountain behind Hong Kong Island's gritty urban heart is a world away for many locals, some of whom work long hours to earn less each day than the cost of a cup of coffee in a Western café. They don't need the United Nations to tell them that the city has one of the largest wealth gaps in the world.
In Sai Ying Pun, a suburb located about a 10-minutes walk from the city center on Hong Kong Island, a new development towers above the bustling local wet market where locals stock up on seafood and vegetables, mostly imported from China.
Within the development, three-bedroom flats are advertised for monthly rent for as much as $64,000 (U.S. $8,200), more than three times the median monthly domestic household income of $18,000. There's a pool and free coffee and Oreo cookies are provided for tenants on the weekend.
Across the road inside the wet market, Carmen, 56, tidies piles of spring onions at the stall she inherited after her mother's death in 1999. Not much had changed since the 1997 handover, she said, though stricter rules had forced vendors to move indoors. "In bad weather this is a good place, but as far as business is concerned, business is not so good," she said. She sells a couple of cobs of corn for $10 (U.S. $1.28).
A few stalls away, Wong Miu Ping jostles with shoppers who are crowding around a tray of vegetables. She's a friend of Mary's in her early 70s, and the two conduct a quick-fire conversation in Cantonese before turning to the question of how life has changed since the handover.
"The medical, they don't have enough hands to do the job," Mary translates. "She's retiring, she's living on the little money she's saved. Housing becomes a big problem, even the young people. They dare not to have babies," she said.
Hong Kong's fertility rate is one of the lowest in the world, with just 1.10 births per woman in 2010, according to government statistics. It's not clear from the numbers whether couples are choosing not to have children, but what is apparent is that Hong Kong's population of seven million is rapidly aging and the birthrate's not high enough to keep the population steady.
By 2030, around one quarter of Hong Kong's total population is expected to be over 65, according to the Steering Committee on Population Policy.
Many of the elderly are members of low-income households whose occupants are suffering from a lack of government spending on social services, according to a report on Hong Kong's Social Development Index published in March 2012.
"The government has a substantial amount of foreign reserve but has never adequately invested in social development, thereby sharing the fruits of economic growth with the people," the report said, adding that the living standards of the city's poorest citizens had fallen in recent years.
"Low income people experienced further deterioration in basic living, compared to year 2008, in terms of expenditure on housing and food, employment and housing condition," the report said.
There's little state support for the elderly. Residents between the ages of 65 and 69 can apply for benefits but approval depends on income and assets. That changes once they're over 70, but either way each provides just over HK$1,000 (U.S. $129) a month.
Mary may own her flat and have four children who help support her, yet she has high medical bills from a fall sustained a few years ago and watches every dollar. On boarding a public mini bus she tells the driver exactly where she wants to get off so he amends the price to $3.90, a saving of 70 Hong Kong or 9 U.S. cents.
As she approaches her stop, she checks the traffic lights to see if they're likely to turn red. They linger on green so she gets off early, struggling down the stairs with her walking stick. She says she's worried about making the driver angry if she asks him to stop again, up the hill.
"Hong Kong people are living under such stress," she explained. "Because the living cost is high, and it's not easy to earn enough money to upkeep your family."
A local cab driver says the same, though while he's happy to talk he doesn't want to be named. "It's getting harder," he said, of making a living. He says he now spends half of his wage on rent.
Many locals blame cashed-up buyers from mainland China for driving up Hong Kong property prices and rent. In the 10 years to 2010, expenditure on housing as a share of total household spending gradually rose to 32.8%, according to government statistics.


text: Not familiar with West Coast group Overdoz.? WHY?! OK, time to change that, immediately, because their new video for "Lauren London" is f*cking fantastic. It's also pretty hilarious thanks to some choice acting by the females, particularly the one who bugs out when she catches her man doing some stupid sh*t. OverDoz. get their props too, of course, because "Lauren London" is a killer summer joint. Hopefully this is a sign of new material to come from these guys.

A Primer on the Ajax Phenomenon This is best for use in web applicationWith all the hype about "Ajax web applications", you could be forgiven for assuming Ajax is some radical new plugin, akin to Macromedia Flash. And you would therefore be under the impression that Ajax is out of bounds until you upgrade your "so last month" browser, or at least download the coveted "Ajax plugin" .
Good news: You can run Ajax right now. At least, assuming you have a web browser from the past few years - IE, Firefox, Safari, or Opera. Have you seen Google Maps or perhaps GMail? They're both Ajax applications.34 So are Zuggest and the AjaxPatterns Wiki Demo .
What do they all have in common? All these applications take a great leap forth towards the richness of standard desktop applications.Peter Langone No longer are you forced to wait five seconds for the page to reload every time you click on something. Ajax applications change in real time. They can let you forex signals trading drag boxes around, they can refresh themselves with new information, they can completely re-arrange the page without clearing it. And there's no special plugin required. Ajax is just a style of design, one that milks all the features of modern browsers to produce something that feels less web and more desktop.
Applications can act more like and be developed more like the days of Visual Basic, Delphi, PowerBuilder, C++ with GUI frameworks, etc. Thus, it is 90's GUI features but with a web browser: it strives to meld the best of the online casino web and the best of desktop GUI's. Web browser standards were originally designed for e-brochures only. Business forms and other needs were hacked into this e-brochure framework over time and it is clear that this after-thought retrofitting for different purposes has been ugly. Ajax attempts to remedy this.
Some of the characteristics of Ajax applications include:
- Continuous Feel: Traditional web applications force you to submit a form, wait a few seconds, watch the page redraw, and then add some more info. Forgot to forex robots softwares enter the area code in a phone number? Start all over again. Sometimes, you feel like you're in the middle of a traffic jam: go 20 metres, stop a minute, go 20 metres, stop a minute ... How many E-Commerce sales have been lost because the user encountered one too many error message and gave up the battle? Ajax offers a smooth ride all the way. There's no page reloads here - you're just doing stuff and the browser is responding. The server Fredericksburg DUI Lawyer is only telling the screen what Link Building Services changed rather than having it redraw the whole screen from scratch .
- Real-Time Updates: As part of the continuous feel, Ajax applications can update the page in real-time. Currently, news services on the web redraw the entire page at intervals, e.g. goldbet italia once every 15 minutes. In contrast, it's feasible for a browser running an Ajax application to poll the server every few seconds, so it's capable of updating any information directly on the parts of the page that need changing. The rest of the page is unaffected.
- Graphical Interaction: Flashy backdrops are abundant on the web, but the basic mode of interaction has nevertheless mimicked the 1970s-style form-based data entry systems. Ajax represents a transition into the world of GUI controls visible on present-day Ortiz vs Mayweather desktops. Thus, you will encounter animations such as fading text to tell you something's just been saved, you will be able to drag items around, you will see some static text suddenly turn into an edit field as you hover over it.
- Language Neutrality - Ajax strives to be equally usable with all the popular languages rather than be tied to one language. Past GUI attempts such as VB, Tk, and Swing tended to be married to one specific programming language. Ajax has learned from the past and rejects this notion. To help facilitate this, XML is often used as a declarative interface language.
To prevent any confusion, these things are not characteristic of Ajax:
- Plugin-Based: Ajax applications do not require users to install browser plugins, or desktop software for that matter.
- Browser Specific: As long as the user is working with a relatively recent, mainstream, browser (say 2001+), the application should work roughly the same way. Browser-specific applications somewhat defeat the purpose of Ajax.

Downsides of Ajax?
Ajax is a trade-off. Any developer considering its adoption should be aware of the downsides, such as:
- Limited Capabilities: Some Ajax applications are certainly doing things people never dreamed were possible on the web, but there are still substantial restrictions of the web platform. For example: Mayweather Ortiz multimedia capabilities, local data storage, real-time graphics, interaction with hardware such as printers and webcams. Support for some of these are improving in recent browsers, some can be achieved by delegating to Flash, but many are simply not possible, and if required, would rule out Ajax.
- Performance Concerns: Constant interaction between browser and server can make an application feel unresponsive. There are, however, quite a few well-known patterns for performance optimization such as browser-side caching. These usually suffice, even for fast-paced applications like stock trading,Treatment For Candida but Ajax still might not work for really time-critical applications such as machine control.
- Internet Access Required: The user can't access an Ajax application in the absence of a network connection.
- Easily Abused: As with any powerful technology, Ajax concepts can be abused by careless programmers. The patterns on this site are intended to guide developers towards more usable solutions, but the fact remains that Ajax isn't always used in a manner that supports usability.
'= Lifecycle of an Ajax Application =' The Ajax lifecycle is more like that of a traditional GUI than a traditional web application, with DOM objects acting like GUI widgets. The script registers event listeners on DOM objects, and manipulates the DOM in response to those events. Facial SurgeryRosina Grosso As part of the event-processing cycle, the server may be invoked. There's actually a slight complication here in that the server calls are asynchronous, so the event-listening phase is split from the event-responding phase.
Here's a typical Ajax lifecycle within the browser:
- Visit: The user visits a site the usual way, i.e. by clicking on a link or typing a URL.
- Initialisation The page initially loads cash advance loans. Callbacks are established to handle user input, a loop might be established to continuously refresh page elements.
- Event Loop:
- Browser Event An event occurs, such as a keypress.
- Server Request The browser sends a request to the server.
- ...<Server processes the event>
- Server Response A moment later, the server responds, and the response is passed into a request callback function, one that was specified when the request was issued.
Of course, there are plenty of variants. In particular, many events are handled locally and don't actually trigger a trip to the server.essay help Also, some Ajax applications are short-lived and the browser interaction is eventually terminated with the user submitting a form. Others remain to interact with the user as long as they are in the user's browser.

Note that the Browser Event and the Server Request occur in one thread, and the Server Response and Browser Update occur in a separate thread. This is due to the asynchronous nature of the server request. It's actually possible to configure XMLHttpRequest to make synchronous calls, but poor background check practice as it holds up the user.

In recent debates on the issues of privacy and the Internet, Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) has been grossly oversimplified as a technology that is primarily harmful to consumers. Much of the commentary has been based on a poor understanding of what DPI is and how DPI works. All too often the debate over DPI is focused on unrelated issues such as free speech and censorship, which are largely political and not technological issues, and all too often is DPI usage described as a violation of consumer privacy when the reality is far more complex and nuanced. What has been missing is a broader discussion on the full nature and application of DPI technology; DPI enables a wide range of applications most of which are not only positive but also essential to the survival of the Internet. This paper will explain how DPI technology works and explore potential dangers and benefits of DPI technology to consumers and the internet.

Can't this guy just stay retired.
The Enterprise opined over the weekend that the LU search "must be presidential." Listen to this description of Lamar under the stewardship of Jimmy Simmons and then think on this: Is this an organization you want Carrol Thomas running?
The institution has operated openly and transparently, focused on clear, ambitious goals and consistently true to its identity, mission and Simmons' vision. Reflective of its president's style, the university has reached out, collaborated with the community and achieved its priorities without coming across as arrogant or us-first. Indeed, the rising tide at Lamar has helped lift all Southeast Texas ships.
Open, transparent, true to identity, collaborative, never arrogant…
Good Lord, if there were a group that was the very opposite of the BISD during Thomas's reign this would be it. Yet according to SETinvestigates, Thomas has tossed his egomaniacal hat into the ring and applied to be PRESIDENT of LAMAR.
After being passed over for the post of Commissioner of Education for the state of Texas, former Beaumont Independent School District Superintendent Carrol Thomas has put his hat in the ring to replace Jimmy Simmons and take the helm as president of Lamar University, multiple cources have now told SETINVESTIGATES.COM
This guy is obviously incapable of living outside the spotlight.
The commissioner of education application was one thing, but this is utterly preposterous. This is delusional on a grand scale. The only way "Butch" gets a crack at the Lamar gig is if he ponies up a cool seven figure donation. And honestly, given his most generous compensation, that ain't so far fetched.
So once this ill-fated attempt at career resurrection crashes-and-burns, what's next for "Butch?" An application as CEO of Apple? He could hire Jessie to handle the marketing and rename the iPad the iButch.
Good grief.

More concealability for the Bersa Thunder .380... Grips, mag base plates, etc...
Guys, I'm at a point where I'm considering selling my Bersa Thunder .380 7 rnd. nickel plated pistol. The reason is that it's totally useless for effective .380 concealed carry as far as I'm concerned. That is, without reverting to an IWB rig, which would make absolutely no sense to do, considering 9mm and even .45 offerings that meet the requirements for IWB carry.
The Bersa Thunder .380 has VERY fat grips that are ergonomic but not conducive to easy concealed carry. Bersa fixed this with the introduction of the CC model. They simply flattened the grips and put recesses into them for thumb rests. I like those. The CC model is not very ergonomic, but meets the requirements for concealability. Bersa also got rid of the magazine finger rest which I very much despise when they introduced the Thunder 380 CC. I would like a magazine for the Thunder .380 that has no pinky rest but rather a flat base plate. Is there any hope for this wish list? I've searched around on the net and found nothing like this. Do these parts exist? Please help... My next option is to sell the Bersa and purchase a Kel-Tec PF-9 which seems to have all the features I'm asking for with additional firepower to boot. |

So one of the things I asked to do for my birthday was have a game day where people could just come over and we could play some of the many games that we've stocked up over the years. While we got to a good random sampling (I sent people back to the game cabinet and told them I'd play whatever they brought back), it was the contributions of a good friend that really got my brain moving into gear. Since the last time I had seen my friend Frank (which, granted, had been too long) he had started his own game design studio (General Nonsense Games, Twitter: @GenNonsenseGame) and he brought some of his games to share. We had a lot of fun playing two of his titles ("Speed Poker" and the one with the "A" on the back of the cards, I don't remember that one's name, sorry), but what it really reminded me of was my love for game systems.
Instead of doodling in class (okay, I doodled too) I would spend my time designing card games. One of my favorite systems at the time was the Star Wars Collectible Card Game made by Decipher, it had an elegant mechanism which did not require you to keep score (the cards themselves were your life total, how you paid costs, and how you randomly determined outcomes). As a result, many of my early efforts were in that vein, where much of the rules overhead was already taken care of (none of these things ever saw the light of day, they were an exercise for me). One of the reasons that I own so many games is that I love to see all the different types and rules out there. By exposing myself to a wide variety of games, I seek to find what makes games fun and unique. Though I have yet to try designing any of my own (and probably won't due to schedules), it does put me in a unique position to give feedback when I play or see other games. I'm actually working on another game related project with another friend of mine, Stephen, which is also allowing me to stretch those brain muscles.
The long and short of it is that I love to play games, whether they be card, board, or even sports. I love examining the rules and interactions, seeing where they come together (and, if I'm playing, what I can take advantage of).

Seventy-five per cent of the teaching fraternity at Delhi University turned up to vote for the Academic and Executive Council, elections to which were held here on Thursday.
"The poll per cent for the AC was marginally higher than the EC. The results for the EC will be out by Friday, whereas the AC will take around three days," said DU Registrar Alka Sharma.
There were a total of 43 polling centres in the colleges and departments in the university's North, South and other centres. About two seats in the EC and around 26 in the AC are up for grabs.
Teachers' associations' as well as independent candidates were in the fray and campaigning had begun months in advance for the highest decision making bodies in the university.
Posters in staff-rooms aside, campaigning was mostly through word of mouth, personal contact and through the social media. "I started getting emails from many professors. The email will have detailed information on the activities that the professor takes part in, his agenda and of course an appeal to vote for him, if that professor doesn't know me, then the email will also have an introduction from someone I know already," said Bipin Tiwari, a political science teacher.
Many of the candidates had gone around every college, visiting each staff room and appealing for votes. Any known face in and around the campus soon became friendly. " I was having a coffee in one of those shops in Kamala Nagar Market when a candidate approached me, introduced himself, spoke nicely and let information on his polling number," said one biology professor.

Intelligence officials now think responsibility for the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi was at the hands of one man, Sufyan Ben Qumu. He is a member of Al-Qaeda and was a Gitmo detainee, released with the understanding that the Libyan government would continue his imprisonment.
Via Drudge, Fox News reported,
Intelligence sources tell Fox News they are convinced the deadly attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, was directly tied to Al Qaeda — with a former Guantanamo detainee involved.
That revelation comes on the same day a top Obama administration official called last week's deadly assault a "terrorist attack" — the first time the attack has been described that way by the administration after claims it had been a "spontaneous" act.
"Yes, they were killed in the course of a terrorist attack on our embassy," Matt Olsen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, said during a Senate hearing Wednesday.
Olsen echoed administration colleagues in saying U.S. officials have no specific intelligence about "significant advanced planning or coordination" for the attack.
However, his statement goes beyond White House Press Secretary Jay Carney and Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, saying the Sept. 11 attack on the consulate was spontaneous. He is the first top administration official to call the strike an act of terrorism.
Sufyan Ben Qumu is thought to have been involved and even may have led the attack, Fox News' intelligence sources said. Qumu, a Libyan, was released from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2007 and transferred into Libyan custody on the condition he be kept in jail. His Guantanamo files also show he has ties to the financiers behind the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Olson, repeating Wednesday that the FBI is handling the Benghazi investigation, also acknowledged the attack could lead back to Al Qaeda and its affiliates.
"We are looking at indications that individuals involved in the attack may have had connections to Al Qaeda or Al Qaeda's affiliates, in particular Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb," he said at the Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing.
Leader: Sufyan Ben Qumu, who has known extremist ties, became one of the top commanders of rebel forces in Benghazi. Sufyan Ben Qumu, who was reportedly once Osama bin Laden's driver, was let out of the US military detention center in Cuba in 2007 and turned over to the government of Muammar Gaddafi on the condition he be kept behind bars.

better drop them ijn their home country…from 50,000 ft without parachute

Our White House did this! His policy has enpowered Jihadists! Kiling our marines with not allowing bullets!They did not protect our Embassies!!! They knew this was coming!!!!! Where is the accountability?? They got our soldiers murdered and raped! Why didnt they beef up our security! Must all be fired! Where is the CONGRESS on this?? Where are they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh VERY interesting . . . it seems that when the Obama regime released this guy to Ghadafi, they labeled him an "ally of sorts" -
Once a muzzie, always a muzzie.
I think we are watching a slow mothion terrorist attack of massive proportions headed our way….All directed by the grinning Imam Obama…The sacking of our embassy looks staged like an inside job …Jihadists may now have Khadaffi's hidden stash of WMD…They got the Mohammed movie all in place as grounds for blame after the hit comes….The local mosque leaders in every Muslim capital organizing mobs to harass our embassies so our chatter surveillance intelligance operations break down and a small Mohammed Atta style team of terror agents slips into America unnoticed . Muslim Brotherhood handlers inside our own FBI shield them from view. ….Obama keeps up the drunk bash parties every night as a ruse …adding to the chaos and distraction….then KABOOM some big terror disaster designed to impact the election….. I worry about the date Sept 21 when the Scientology cult movie " The Master " comes out . The Doomsday death cult may have that day marked for some terror repeat of the Batman Dark Night movie release. There are AMERICAN satanic cults in underground alliance with these old Islamic death cults. They work together internationally. Somebody needs to be telling the American people to be on the look out for anything suspicious while the muslims are up in riot…… Obama isn't going to do it.
Wow. It's amazing all the interesting facts one can learn from intelligence briefings. There's all sorts of stuff you don't quite encounter when hanging out at Beyonce and Jay Z's party drinking $100K of champagne from two story tall bottles, or joking around with David Letterman on his show.
No wonder the light worker (who hardly works at all) insists on interviews from E!, Readers Digest and Highlights for Children.

I had missed that link.
That is the smoking gun. Rice, Hillary, Obama all over with their goofy lie about the video.
They absolutely hope that no one ever sees that info. They will play it that Bush did it. True , but it was rather like the difference between Wide Receiver vs Fast & Furious. Not even close in handling. But look what Obama & Crew did with it.
Just lookie.
The chickens are coming home to roost alright, and they have teeth and have bit Obama's administration in the *ss.
Wonder if any of those Dum's will finally wake up and vote Repub? There must be some with some sense??
'You see, if we blame the movie for the Middle East burning, we won't blame the Islamists who are doing the burning and looting and raping and murdering.
Which means we won't further connect the dots and blame Obama's failed Middle East policy; the Obama Doctrine of backing away from the region and allowing events to unfold as America stands idly by — as the Islamists in the Muslim Brotherhood grab hold of power in Egypt, a country that was once our largest and closest ally.
Blame the filmmaker.
Hunt him.
Out him.
Demonize him.
Burn the straw man!
And all at the direction of a president of the United States who has sworn to uphold the Constitution, you know, the same Constitution that treasures the right of free expression and speech above all else.
But no one asks … What about Bill Maher?
Bill Maher?
Bill Maher made a comedy/documentary called "Religulous" that's most famous for mercilessly mocking Christianity. But what people forget is that the last twenty-minutes or so of the film make a damning case against Islam.
Bill Maher made a film that mocked Islam.
Oh, yes, he did.
Bill Maher also contributed $1 million to a pro-Obama super PAC.
And I'm sure that upon being reminded of this, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will tremble with self-righteous indignation and demand Maher take his money back. '

Want to control dust storms? Go natural
Saturday, December 17th, 2011Is Pinal County becoming the new dust bowl? This past summer dry conditions, high winds, and a destroyed ecosystem created a series of perfect storms.
Dust storms of Biblical proportions formed in Pinal County's scraped-clean, barren acreage, blew into Phoenix, and made national headlines when multiple haboobs engulfed millions of Phoenicians.
Subsequent dust storms created fatal driving conditions along Interstate 10 between Tucson and Phoenix. A series of dust storms caused multiple pileups on one October day– leaving one person dead, 15 injured, and more than 16 vehicles destroyed.
What is the state's answer to this dangerous situation? Two days after that horrific October day on I-10, state officials shrugged their shoulders and blamed motorists for the accidents. From the Arizona Daily Star…
State officials say that motorists – not a lack of safeguards – are to blame for dust-related crashes such as the multi-vehicle wrecks on Interstate 10 on Tuesday.
And there are no plans for state agencies to collaborate on strategies to reduce collisions related to dust storms.
"Dust storms don't kill people; highways don't kill people. Drivers kill people," said Bart Graves, a spokesman for the state Department of Public Safety. "They panic and they do the wrong thing and something bad happens…" [Note that state officials are using the same argument that they use to justify taking no action on gun control.]In cases of unpredictable dust storms, Graves said, "there is virtually no way we can do that."
The state is being lazy on the issue of dust storms, and I was glad to see Tucsonans calling them out in today's Arizona Daily Star story about dust storms and hazardous driving on I-10.
Unfortunately, the article primarily focused on high-tech methods to predict dust storms and not on ways to prevent them.
I have lived in Arizona long enough to remember when there used to be vegetation along I-10. Leaving Tucson on the way to Phoenix, mature palo verde and mesquite trees lined either side of the freeway and filled the median for miles. This green belt was so beautiful– especially after a desert rain when the palo verdes were in bloom. Beyond the trees on either side was other desert vegetation like creosote and jojoba bushes, cacti, and yucca. On the way to Wilcox, mature ocotillo and wild flowers like Mexican sunflowers and sacred datura filled the median. In the spring, the view toward the Dragoons was a riot of color with miles of blooming fire-red ocotillos mixed with the yellow and white wild flowers. Along the sides of the freeway were more wild flowers, desert shrubs, cacti, and other native plants.
These hardy desert trees, shrubs, and wild flowers not only decorated the freeway and made the drive more pleasant; their roots held the soil.
I never knew why the plants and trees in the median were removed. One day the trees going west and the ocotillos going east were just gone. All that was left was dirt, rocks, scrub grass, and maybe an occasional wild flower.
Overgrazing, over cultivation, and over zealous (but uncompleted) development destroyed the ecosystem along the freeway. Vast stretches of dirt line I-10 between Tucson and Phoenix. It's no wonder haboobs are whipped up and no wonder that Pinal County has air quality problems.
In addition to– or instead of– high-tech gadgetry to predict dust storms, Arizona should mount a freeway planting program. (After all, as the Star article points out, what are you going to do after you predict a major dust storm? Shut down the freeway? Halt commerce on the interstate because a computer model tells you to?) The median and the easement along the freeway should be replanted with desert trees, shrubs, and wild flowers. Other states have vegetation along their stretches of the interstate highways. We have dirt and, therefore, we have dust storms. Along I-10, on the way to Palm Springs, mature salt cedars line the freeway for miles and provide a buffer between the dry desert and drivers.
In addition to a state-sponsored replanting program, landowners who allow their acreage to sit uncultivated or undeveloped should be fined. They are creating a public health and public safety problems for the residents of Arizona; they should pay for remediation.
Another step the state can take is to make commuting between Tucson and Phoenix safer is to move forward on the I-10 corridor commuter train. Not safe to drive? Take the train.
Arizona's state government should stop shirking its duty to protect the health and welfare of the citizenry… and start planting.

Karel leads Wisconsin to upset over Michigan State women
By AP
MADISON, WI – Alyssa Karel scored 21 points and Wisconsin shocked No. 16 Michigan State 62-54 on Monday night.
The Spartans failed to overcome a sloppy first half in which they scored 21 points and had 16 turnovers. The 21 first-half points were a season low in a half for the Spartans (9-4, 0-2 Big Ten).
Michigan State scored 19 points below its average in the loss. Leading scorer Allysa DeHaan scored six of the Spartans final eight points in the first half and finished with nine points overall.
The Badgers (11-2, 1-1 Big Ten) forced 26 Spartans turnovers.
The Spartans pulled within four points after Aisha Jefferson made a layup with 1:41 remaining in the game to cut the Badgers' lead to 53-49. Jasmine Thomas scored Michigan State's final five points, but the Spartans did not pose a serious threat over the final 30 seconds.

whitehot | September 2011 Bay Area Now @ Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
Yerba Buena Center for the Arts
1. Suzanne Husky I first saw Suzanne Husky's work at Southern Exposure in its annual juried show in 2004. (By the way, SOEX is my favorite non-profit Bay Area arts space. It's historical, but not institutional, led by a group of smart forward-thinking art lovers whose global focus still pays generous respect to local practitioners.) Husky's soft sculptures with photo print-out faces were amusing, cute even, and crafted with DIY flare. In the years since, her work has grown to lush fairytale environments. Far from inane, these Husky-worlds embody a political and especially environmental focus. That focus is reactive and site-specific; each installation a pastiche of the world outside the gallery. At Bay Area Now, she uses her creative platform as a public forum, a globally-minded choice which is otherwise absent in the BAN show. Her installation of habitable structures constructed from found wood, Sleeper Cell Hotel, calls on visitors to consider degrowth as an alternative to economic growth, urban farms over mini-malls. With her characteristic home-grown aesthetic, the installation is deceptively homey, like your grandma's, but different, unless your grandma is the likely to brandish an "Activism is not Terrorism" sign on her front door. Whereas a lot of "activist art" tends toward the didactic, Husky's transcends the annoying-aesthetic that often weighs down the politically-minded artwork. She mixes humor with grave realities, as well as alternatives or solutions already underway. In other words, Husky doesn't seem desperate for you to join up, but the invitation is there. To that end, Husky offers up a place to see her idea in practice at the Hayes Valley Farm, a city farm just up the street where she's installed a seed library and who knows how many heads of lettuce. 2. Rio Babe International My other favorite work, for its Bay Area-ness, is Rio Babe International Presents the World's Fair 2011, a sensual hedonistic foil to Husky's Sleeper Cell Hotel. Installed as literal neighbors, World's Fair and the Sleeper Cell Hotel build a small Bay Area city in the middle of a whole lot of conceptual realities. Basically, World's Fair is a reconstruction of an Oakland city home/cottage business reduced to its most essential public parts, that is, the front yard and the living room. The front yard features kitschy Home Depot lawn scores with a techno twist – the pedestal where a vase or a mailbox might live features a television showcasing fashion shots of posing hotties and the windows have a) a video vase of flowers and b) a neon storefront sign. Step around the corner, and the living room overflows with a hip hop remix that still thrums my inner sanctum days later. The catchy tune accompanies a totally out-there-silly music video that crosses the genres of hiphop, electro pop and Punjabi, with booty dancers as rampant as dweeby ones.
