Police in WA state reaching out to Muslims
SEATTLE (AP) - Police in Washington state are reaching out to Muslim community leaders to make sure they feel safe amid talk that terrorists may be looking to retaliate for the killing of Osama bin Laden. Officials say such talk can stoke anti-Islamic fervor in certain quarters. Seattle police officer Sean Whitcomb says the department is building on its already established relationship with local Muslim leaders, and he says if they have any fears "we'd be there in a heartbeat."

In a strict 1930s boarding school, the diving team are a tightly knit clique led by Di Radfield (Temple) and mentored by the enigmatic Miss G (Green). But the groups dynamics are challenged by the arrival of new Spanish student Fiamma (Valverde).
Appropriately enough for a feature debut, this is a film about first times: first love, first heartbreak, first incoherent rage at the way the world seems to have turned against you. But it's also a film that is understated to the point of silence, a straight-laced melodrama that takes a detached and somewhat passionless view of its characters, who are all fervour in their actions.
Set in a 1930s boarding school where the girls receive tuck boxes from stiff-upper-lipped parents who have, to all intents and purposes, abandoned them to institutionalisation, the atmosphere is at once stultifyingly dull and rife with hidden intrigue: midnight feasts, cliquey plotting and all the high-running blood of adolescent schoolgirls. Di Radfield (Juno Temple) is the flouncing diva of the diving team, a favourite of queen bee teacher Miss G (Eva Green) and ruler of her own little world, but when exotic new girl Fiamma (María Valverde) arrives, Di is displaced in her teacher's affections, and her own high opinion of herself is rocked.
Eva Green, always more comfortable as the weirdo than the sex kitten, is perfectly cast as the glamorous schoolteacher who inspires the girls. It's only gradually that the cracks start to show: a little desperation around the eyes, a sense that she needs their adoration, the realisation that her fashionable clothes are homemade and that her travel stories have something of the Walter Mitty about them. Miss G's isolation from the other teachers is revealed as less her choice than theirs; her confidence a façade only fit to fool adolescents. As she unravels, so the other imperfections in the clique's lives become unbearable, and inevitably there are tragic consequences.
The film's at its best when it leaves things unexplained — Miss G's near-phobia of the outside world, her murky past, Fiamma's romantic history — and weakest when the plot's speed passes a meander and rushes towards a too-familiar conclusion. As a Lord Of The Flies influence colours proceedings and the characters come unstuck, you may find yourself wishing for the comforting whitewash of Mallory Towers rather than this bleak twist on school days.
An auspicious debut for Scott, but one whose ingredients are too familiar to really fizz. Green is great, though, in a dark-tinged role that plays to her strengths.

AT&T: We're Not Tracking Users Across the Web
AT&T is not using behavioral advertising company Audience Science to track its customers' activity on the Web, spokesmen from both companies said this week.
AT&T's relationship with Audience Science made headlines last week after a congressional hearing on behavioral advertising and deep-packet inspection (DPI). At that hearing, Rep. Anna Eshoo, a California Democrat, asked an AT&T representative if the company worked with Audience Science to track customers' online activity.
Representative from both companies denied having the kind of relationship Eshoo implied.
"They're an advertising client for us," Jeff Hirsch, chief executive of Audience Science, said in a phone interview.
"As an ISP, we do not track our customer's data across unrelated websites to create a profile for behavioral advertising, or hire other firms to do so on our behalf," said AT&T spokesman Michael Balmoris. "Our relationship with this firm is as an advertiser of AT&T products and services. News reports suggesting that we are engaging in behavioral advertising by selling information [about] our customers [are] flat wrong."
At last week's hearing before the House Energy and Commerce Internet subcommittee, AT&T's chief privacy officer, Dorothy Atwood, said she did not have immediate details about Audience Science, which Eshoo had incorrectly referred to as Audio Science.
MediaPost later reported that references to AT&T were stripped from the Audience Science Web site in the hours after the hearing, prompting Eshoo to pen a letter to AT&T asking for an explanation.
Why were the AT&T logo and an accompanying testimonial removed?
"We saw the comments that were being said, and recognized there was a significant amount of confusion, and the statements were not really clear what was being discussed," Hirsch said. "We removed the logo for a short while in order to be able to understand exactly what was going on. Now, we have replaced the logo and put it back up."
AT&T did not ask Audience Science to remove its logo or testimonial from the Web site, Balmoris said.
AT&T has long insisted that it does not track its consumers' activity online in order to serve up more targeted ads, but if it does, the process will be open and transparent.
"We will initiate such a program only after testing and validating the various technologies and only after establishing clear and consistent measures to engage customers," Atwood told the subcommittee last week. "If AT&T deploys these technologies and processes, we'll do it the right ways."
"We have called on everyone in the Internet ecosystem to step out of the cloud of invisibility to give consumers more transparency and control of their online information, and we welcome this discussion," Balmoris said.
That hearing touched on DPI, a more invasive monitoring technique that allows for the detailed inspection of data as it travels across the Internet. ISPs can use it to filter out the illegal transfer of copyrighted material or harmful viruses and spam.
No major ISP currently uses DPI in order to serve up more targeted ads, nor does Audience Science, Hirsch said.
"We do not do any deep packet inspection because we don't believe that gives consumers the appropriate opportunity for disclosure or opt out," he said. "We don't track all consumer behavior across the Web just [that collected from] certain publishers that we work with."
What does Audience Science do?
Hirsch declined to provide specifics on exactly what services Audience Science provides to AT&T, but in general, a client like AT&T could use a service called re-targeting.
"A pixel is placed on the advertiser's site, so when a consumer goes to that site, a cookie is placed on the consumer's browser. When that consumer leaves that site and goes elsewhere on the Web, they may receive an ad that is related to what they were looking at on that advertiser's site," Hirsch said.
A client like AT&T might also "come to us and say 'I'd like to target consumers who have expressed interest in cellular phones or cellular services' or any product line that the advertiser has based on information that we've collected from this limited set of publishers," he said.
All clients must provide details on this activity in their privacy policies and provide an option to opt-out, Hirsch said.
AT&T is in the process of submitting a response to Eshoo's questions.
"We've also consistently and repeatedly said that in our role as a publisher and advertiser we in fact do use ad networks, just like many other companies do and we've always made that clear to Congress, policymakers and other stakeholders," Balmoris said.
Eshoo's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Taylor Swift accused of using artist's image without permission
Taylor Swift has been on the receiving end of an open letter from a disgruntled artist.
Singer Taylor Swift has been accused of using an artist's image without permission to promote her 1989 album.
Artist Ally Burguieres has written an open letter to the Shake It Off star, revealing her shock at noticing her popular fox image was being used on Swift's social media pages.
"While I wondered why no one had sought permission or offered compensation to do so, I recognized that such endorsement is a once-in-a-lifetime boost for an artist and can skyrocket an artist's career," the artist writes.
Burguieres claims she reached out to Swift's management officials about the image and received a four-figure payout, but they insisted the cash would have to be donated to charity and Ally would not receive credit for the picture.
"My efforts to combat the pirated and unauthorized copy (and your use and distribution of it to millions of people) were noticed, as you removed the post after several days," she continues. "But the copy had been shared and downloaded countless times, and it seemed neither you nor your team intended on correcting the mistake."
"Taylor, as a professional, would you agree to such terms...," she adds. "My work is my living - it is how I pay bills and support my family and employees... I simply hope to see your actions fall more in line with the values you claim to hold."
In other news, Taylor celebrated her 26th birthday on Sunday (13Dec15) with boyfriend Calvin Harris in a Christmas themed bash.
The couple was seen posing with Mr and Mrs Claus in a Snapchat posted by the 31-year-old British record producer's colleague DJ Snake.
The pair has been dating since the early part of this year after reportedly meeting at the Brit Awards.

- OPF Conference - Fr. George: The Harvest of Forgiveness
Involved with a weekend conference on peace and forgiveness put together by the Orthodox Peace Fellowship, Fr. John Brian opened the conference with prayer and introduced a couple of speakers. On Saturday morning, Very Rev. Fr. George Morelli of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of North America spoke on the topic forgiveness and the church fathers. His presentation was in a PowerPoint which will be made available online soon. In addition, video was recorded of most of the major speakers. Post-production takes a little bit of time, but look for these as well.
This bit of audio (about 5 minutes) was captured at the end of Fr. George's talk. He mentions a couple of ideas on beginning to forgive and then quotes several fathers including St. Isaac of Syrian and the Good Friday hymn: "Hades ruled the race of men, but not forever..."
Fr George - "The harvest of forgiveness is theosis."
Fr John Brian will return next week.
This audio of Fr George Morelli was recorded on Saturday, September 17, 2011 by Fr. John Brian Paprock at the Bishop O'Connor Center, Madison, Wisconsin.

Bill Gates is back to being the world's richest person
Published 10:25 am, Friday, May 17, 2013
For the first time since 2007, Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is the world's richest person, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Thank the Mexican government.
Gates' fortune has lagged behind that of Mexican investor Carlos Slim in recent years. But earlier this year, Mexico's Congress passed a bill that "could quash" the dominance of Slim's America Movil SAB, the largest mobile-phone operator in the Americas, Bloomberg reported.
America Movil stock has dropped 14 percent since the bill, trimming Slim's value by more than $3 billion. Meanwhile, Microsoft stock has reached a five year high, despite the company's stumbles with Windows 8 and Windows Phone.
Gates is now worth $72.7 billion, up 16 percent year-to-date, while Slim is worth $72.1 billion. Berkshire Hathaway Chairman Warren Buffett is a distant third, at $59.7 billion.

Civilian Response Corps: Stop Terrorism With Working Professionals
US to Stop Terrorism With Working Professionals
If you're an American engineer, city planner, law enforcement official, public health worker, economist, or judge, Uncle Sam wants YOU to move to dangerous and "failing" countries and help keep these places from completely collapsing into the death grips of eager terrorists.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has announced the Civilian Response Corps, a program Congress allotted $75 million in June. A response to September 11, the professional Peace Corps hopes to pro-actively prevent countries in turmoil from going to the dark side. The goal can also be described as hoping to avoid another post-invasion-Iraq disaster. The volunteers from the private sector and state and local governments will be trained to deploy rapidly (along with other federal employees) to countries in crisis or emerging from crisis in order to provide reconstruction and stabilization assistance.
Since the group will usually deploy with or after US troops, critics argue that the CRC is a thinly veiled plan for imperial expansion, or an effort to impose government institutions according to a model familiar, or friendly, to the US.
Arguments of nation-building can probably best be assessed in specific situations, so on the surface this plan sounds like a creative way to develop America's power beyond guns and bombs. What do you think?

Last week, a tourist stopped in to the Hobbs Chamber of Commerce looking for a local attraction: a "ghost town" used to test futuristic technologies.
Chamber of Commerce employee Tiffany Bishop had disappointing news for the visitor: The ghost town doesn't exist—yet. But on April 3, the Center for Innovation, Testing and Evaluation took a big step closer to fruition. After originally considering locations in either northern New Mexico or near Las Cruces, the project's designer, Pegasus Global Holdings, has scrapped the Santa Fe/Albuquerque corridor option in favor of a potential site near Hobbs. With Pegasus filing lease applications with the New Mexico State Land Office earlier this month, the project appears to be going forward despite lingering questions about its viability.
Pegasus Global Holdings is known for its defense contract work, mostly in telecommunications. It is based in Washington, DC and Reston, VA, and has a subsidiary in London. CEO Robert Brumley was a policy advisor to the Secretary of Commerce under former president Ronald Reagan.
Pegasus' efforts to establish itself in New Mexico began inauspiciously. As former New Mexico Economic Development Department Secretary Fred Mondragon told SFR last fall, when Pegasus approached the state during former Gov. Bill Richardson's administration, EDD had serious doubts that the company had any of the investors or partnerships it would need to accomplish the proposed testing. Pegasus also wanted the state to pay $5 million for its feasibility study and $20 million per year for 20 years to lease testing space from CITE.
EDD didn't bite.
Under current Gov. Susana Martinez, however, Pegasus' luck changed. Last August, the state signed a memorandum of understanding with Pegasus, agreeing to give the company non-financial assistance to develop the CITE project. Now the State Land Office is getting in on the action, and may lease land to Pegasus for the project.
Representatives from both Las Cruces and Hobbs say they'd welcome the development.
"We'd love to see it come to Doña Ana County," says Eric Montgomery, business development manager at Mesilla Valley Economic Development Alliance in Las Cruces. Montgomery describes the site as an area of state trust land west of Las Cruces, just outside city limits. Doña Ana would welcome the jobs CITE would bring to the area, Montgomery says—though he's hard-pressed to say just what jobs they would be.
"Because [CITE would have] so many different operations and so many different approaches, it's hard to say the specific opportunities [that] are going to blossom from this," Montgomery says.
Montgomery also tells SFR that, to his knowledge, Pegasus has not assured the county that it will hire a certain number of people locally.
Lisa Hardison, president and CEO of the Economic Development Corporation of Lea County, says she believes Pegasus will bring "technical and administrative" jobs to the area.
Although Pegasus' own literature states that the $200 million project would create 3,500 jobs, it adds that all but 350 of those are "indirect"—temporary construction jobs and project work for scientists coming in to use the site. Pegasus' agreement with EDD states that the company may test energy, transportation, communication, resource development and security technology at CITE. Pegasus spokeswoman Alarie Ray-Garcia (a former spokeswoman for Gov. Richardson) says Pegasus is "still in the process of identifying potential customers" and can't give more detailed information about its plans.
If Pegasus opts for the Las Cruces site, the Land Office could reap the benefit, using Pegasus' lease payments to supplement the land grant income fund, which helps fund New Mexico's public schools. But the Hobbs site, according to an employee at the Lea County EDC, includes mostly private and county land.
Either way, Hobbs expects a decision from Pegasus within the next 30-40 days. The employee notes that the Hobbs area lacks the presence of environmental activism that pervades the original Santa Fe/Albuquerque potential site, so perhaps the project would meet less resistance.
State Land Commissioner Ray Powell does have to consider the impact to any state land leased for such a project, however, notes Bruce Frederick, staff attorney with the New Mexico Environmental Law Center. Although Powell is charged with maximizing income for the state, he also must make sure the land isn't damaged and that the state isn't incurring any liability, Frederick notes. And Powell has a lot of autonomy, because he acts independently of the governor.
"It's hard for people to come in and challenge the things that [Powell] does because he has so much power and discretion," Frederick says.
The list of technologies to be tested at the center includes nuclear energy and security technology useful to federal law enforcement. Pegasus currently has a contract with the US Department of Defense to create devices that interfere with electronic warfare detonation signals, and Pegasus CEO Robert Brumley previously told SFR that the CITE project was inspired by Pegasus' own difficulties in finding US land on which to test its defense technologies. Pegasus also recently entered into contracts with two other defense contractors to develop the CITE project, Science Applications International Corp. and Advanced Insights Group Inc. Ray-Garcia tells SFR that Pegasus may test its own defense technology at CITE, but adds that this would exclude anything "destructive." Hardison says Pegasus has assured Lea County that it's "not going to test anything of a destructive nature there."
"I can't say we have any negative impressions from what they're doing," Montgomery says. "I think, with any project you look at, any business that's looking to locate in any area, it's going to come down to whether or not they can do it. And that's really more of a business decision than it is anything else."

Infusion Reactions to Monoclonal Antibodies for Solid Tumors: Immunologic Mechanisms and Risk Factors
Infusion Reactions to Monoclonal Antibodies for Solid Tumors: Immunologic Mechanisms and Risk Factors
Linked Articles
The development of monoclonal antibodies targeting various receptors and ligands has been a significant advance in cancer therapy. These monoclonal antibodies are generally well tolerated. A subset of patients, however, experience infusion reactions with symptoms ranging from mild to life-threatening anaphylaxis. The underlying mechanisms of these reactions are not well characterized. In this review, current findings in clinical risk factor assessments and known mechanisms of these infusion reactions are discussed.
The use of engineered monoclonal antibodies as antineoplastic therapy has been a significant advance within the past 15 years. These agents target various receptors and ligands required for the proliferation, survival, or maintenance of angiogenesis of tumors. Currently there are several agents approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for clinical use in solid tumors. Bevacizumab (Avastin) is a humanized monoclonal antibody that targets the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and inhibits angiogenesis, and is currently approved for the treatment of colorectal, lung, and breast cancer (Avastin package insert, 2008). Trastuzumab (Herceptin) inhibits the HER2/neu receptor, and is utilized in both the adjuvant and palliative settings in breast cancer (Herceptin package insert, 2008). Two monoclonal antibodies targeting the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) are also in current use: the chimeric mouse-human antibody cetuximab (Erbitux), and the fully human antibody panitumumab (Vectibix) (Erbitux package insert, 2008; Vectibix package insert, 2008). These agents are both used in the treatment of colorectal cancer, and cetuximab has also been approved for the treatment of head and neck cancer.
Generally monoclonal antibodies are well tolerated and adverse events are specific to the target of the antibody, examples being skin rash with inhibitors of EGFR and cardiovascular toxicity with bevacizumab.[ 1,2] However, a subset of patients experience infusion reactions (IRs) following administration of the antibody therapy. Symptoms of IR range from mild (ie, chills, rash, etc) to severe, including severe anaphylaxis in rare incidences that are life-threatening.[3]
As is widely known to oncologists, infusion reactions are not specific to the antibody-based therapy but also observed following administration of a variety of cytotoxic agents. For example, platinum agents such as oxaliplatin (Eloxatin) and carboplatin used in the treatment of colorectal and ovarian cancer respectively have been associated with IgE-mediated IRs.[4,5] For the purpose of a concise review, we will focus on the IRs associated with antibody-based therapies.
Clinical Risk Factors for Infusion Reactions
describing clinical risk factors that can accurately predict which patients will most likely experience IRs to antibody-based therapies. However, the risks of developing a fatal reaction due to general allergens such as foods, drugs, or insect stings have been evaluated.[6] The clinical risks that are pertinent to the cancer patient population and associated with severe reactions are a history of atopy, asthma affecting the airways, antihypertensive drugs, such as angiotensin- converting enzyme inhibitors or beta-blockers, and opioid drugs. These risk factors appear to be consistent with either comorbid conditions or pharmaceutical interventions that can worsen two major symptoms of the severe IRs: cardiovascular collapse and respiratory failure.
Similar clinical risk factors were examined in patients who developed the cetuximab-induced IRs.[7] Higher incidences of severe infusion reactions were observed following administration of cetuximab in comparison to other monoclonal antibodies used in the treatment of solid tumors.[8] When 143 patients treated with cetuximab were examined for the association between IRs and clinical risk factors including demographics, primary sites of cancer, and atopic history, only atopic history was significantly associated with the severe IRs. Patients with a history of atopy experienced more than twice the rate of severe IR.[7] The atopic history included prior allergy to drugs, foods, and bee stings, as well as comorbid conditions with asthma, allergic rhinitis, or eczema.
Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that there is a markedly increased incidence of severe IRs among patients living in the middle portion of the southeastern United States.[7] In early studies of cetuximab, rates of severe IRs among patients in trials conducted in different regions of the United States and in the European Union were relatively low and consistent from region to region. Rates of severe IRs among these trials varied from no reported incidences to 3%. However, anecdotal observations made in treatment centers in the southeast region of the United States described a much higher incidence of severe infusion reactions to cetuximab. These observations were confirmed following analysis of patients treated with cetuximab in clinical trials in Tennessee and North Carolina, where the rate of severe (grade 3 or 4) IRs was 22%.[7] This unusual pattern of reactivity led to further study of a potential mechanism, as described below.

Impact of the Great Recession on Retirement Trends in Industrialized Countries
The Great Recession had a large impact on unemployment rates and growth in wealthy industrial countries. When the recession began most rich countries were experiencing an increase in labor force participation rates after age 60. This paper examines whether the downturn slowed or reversed the trend toward higher old-age participation rates. We use straightforward time series analysis to test for a break in labor force trends after 2007. Our results indicate that the average rate of increase in labor force participation slowed in only a handful of countries. Averaging across all 20 countries in our sample, we find that the average pace of labor force participation increase was faster after 2007 than before. Countries that experienced unusually severe downturns represent exceptions to this generalization. In most countries, however, the trend toward later retirement not only continued, it accelerated.

Is this game like a sequel or something? Could I get this game and get along just fine? Or is there a previous Zelda game I should play first?

Practice Project Management in Web Site Design: An Experiential Learning Simulation
Full Conference One-Day Full Conference
Educators Paper
The current literature suggests that experiential learning is a necessary component of formal instruction in higher education. But research on experiential learning in web site design development and management is minimal. The purpose of this project is to detail research on how to blend experiential learning principles with project management into an actual case of web site design practice for the new age of electronic learning.
Art and design faculties are no strangers to experiential learning. One cannot learn the complexities of the design discipline without extensive design studio projects. Where experiential learning is well integrated, students demonstrate a greater understanding of the complexity of real-world problems. By combining theory with practice, this project helps the academic community understand the relationships among education, work, and technology. It also provides rich dialogues about students' experiential learning, which helps them build a foundation for professional life in the real world. In this approach, the "process" is as important as the "product." This study hopes to stimulate further work in this area.

A couple of my buddies were talking about paying players, and one of the most divisive topics was how valuable a college's "brand" is. The example that was introduced was something like this: if Ohio State switched players with Kent State for 4 years, how much money would they lose in revenue? What if it was for 1 year?
For the purpose of this, ignore any potential loss in revenue caused by firing a coach/looking for his replacement.

London - A striking photo series of women showing off their underarm hair is challenging the conventional standards of beauty.
London-based photographer Ben Hopper recruited dozens of models and actresses to grow out their body hair for his Natural Beauty series, with the aim of proving that women don't need to conform to society's expectations in order to be attractive.
"The whole point is the contrast between fashionable female beauty and the raw unconventional look of female armpit hair," the Israeli-born photographer told the Huffington Post. "I expect (the photos) will surprise a lot of people and I guess, in a way, that is one of my intentions."
In one of the black-and-white photos, designer Alessandra Kurr strikes a pose with one arm bent over her head, revealing the hair underneath.
Hopper explained that standards of beauty have been so ingrained in our consciousness that one of his models even pulled out of the project at the last minute because she was "grossed-out" by her own body hair.
But the photographer says he has no problem with a woman going au naturel – quite the opposite, in fact.
"As I matured as a person and an artist, I realised I liked (armpit hair)," he revealed. "I think it can be a beautiful look."
The models also appear to be wearing minimal make-up in the stunning portraits, further emphasising their natural beauty.
According to his website, Hopper sees his project as a "type of protest" against the beauty industry.
"Although armpit hair is a natural state it has become a statement. Why is that?" he writes.
"For almost a century we have been brainwashed by the beauty industry, encouraging hair removal."
While he hopes to spark a discussion, Hopper adds that he doesn't want to enforce his personal views on anyone, only to open people's minds to the many varieties of beauty.
"I don't want to say that I want women to start growing their armpit hair," he said.
"I just think that it's a possibility and people shouldn't dismiss it." – Daily Mail

I'm 38 years old. I've never been married, never had children and I'd say I'm pretty easy to be around. I'm a pretty forthcoming person and I don't believe in hiding the blatantly obvious. For example, I will tell you right off the bat. I'm a fat dude. I'm not proud of it and I'm currently shedding lbs. So if a big dude turns you off, move on.
I'm a genuinely nice guy. I don't creep on people, I'm not here to mass message the entire population of okcupid the same static pick-up line.
I'm also a writer at an entertainment website that reviews movies/television/music and have been doing a podcast from there every week for several years. I play the guitar as well and was in a thrash metal band in Austin for 6 years before we eventually split due to just getting older and being crushed under more grown up responsibilities.
-being average on the electric guitar
-listening to as much bad 80s and 90s music as I can while drunk
-air guitar. air drums. air bass. air whatever. AIR BAND.
Although I'm primarily a metal kind of guitar player/writer I actually listen to a certifiable shit ton of music. I like to tell people that I listen to anything from Slayer to John Mayer. In heavy rotation on the ipod/cd player at the moment are Sufjan Stevens, Carpenter Brut, Napalm Death....
TV shows are/were Breaking Bad, Arrested Development, Parks and Rec, House of Cards, Silicon Valley. There's a whole bunch of shit to list.
Movies? There are so many. All time favorites would be the Star Wars trilogy, Godfather, Apocalypse Now, all Edgar Wright films as well as anything else that Simon Pegg or Nick Frost are in. Just so much stuff really.
I also love video games. If adults playing games bugs you then piss off.

7-Eleven to Expand in Las Vegas
C-store chain selects NAI as exclusive broker to strengthen the company's Las Vegas real estate position
LAS VEGAS -- Similar to its previously announced actions in other markets in the U.S., 7-Eleven Inc. partnered with NAI Corporate Real Estate Services (NAI CRES) in the Las Vegas market to build its presence and add to the more than 160 7-Eleven stores already in Clark County, the company reported. NAI CRES will act as the retailer's exclusive broker for new store growth, site selection, acquisitions, dispositions and other real estate needs.
NAI CRES, based in Salt Lake City, engaged Jeff Mitchell of Virtus Commercial, an affiliate of Mountain West Retail, as the local representative for 7-Eleven's real estate needs in Las Vegas.
"7-Eleven is in a unique position among retailers in the current market conditions because they are actively expanding," Mitchell said in a released statement. "The 7-Eleven growth strategy is exceptional because it's adaptable. The company can pursue opportunities in a variety of formats -- pad sites, shopping center end caps, urban walk-ups, and non-traditional sites such as casinos, sports venues and airports. Bottom line is that if there is an opportunity, 7-Eleven will look at it, if it is a great opportunity, 7-Eleven opens a store."
NAI CRES also is providing real estate services for 7-Eleven in Salt Lake City, and Calgary, Alberta, according to the retailer.
7-Eleven's primary objective is to improve its overall store presence. Through careful and methodical growth, together with strategic relocations to capitalize on the strongest trade areas, 7-Eleven anticipates expanding its presence in Clark County over the next several years, according to the company.
In addition to ground-up development and acquisitions, the company's plans call for franchise conversions of other retail outlets to 7-Eleven stores, and will remodel some existing operations, creating more franchise and other business opportunities.
Typical 7-Eleven stores have 2,400 to 3,000 square feet of space and pull traffic from densely populated areas with strong daytime population and multiple traffic generators, the company reported. "Flexibility" is a significant component in its real estate strategy, and it prefers end-cap space in shopping centers, as well as freestanding stores and downtown, urban locations.
7-Eleven also said it wants to be part of re-gentrification efforts in neighborhoods where it plans to grow and that are undergoing revitalization.

Two popular downtown restaurants and a family fun spot are on our Restaurant Report Card for all the wrong reasons.
Local 2 stopped by Birraporetti's at 500 Louisiana around lunch time, the wrong time according to one employee.
"My boss is not here right now," he told consumer expert Amy Davis. "Can you come back at a decent hour? We're having a lunch rush right now."
Apparently, the health inspector came at a bad time too. He found and condemned 86 pounds of food he said was "not safe for human consumption." Beef, turkey and shrimp were just some of the items that were too warm for over four hours. Inspectors also said Birraporetti's needs to take effective measures to minimize the presence of roaches, gnats and fruit flies.
Down the street at 1318 Louisiana, inspectors found slime in the ice machine at Benihanas.
Knocking down a few pins can make you thirsty; but at 300 Houston Bowling Alley at 925 Bunker Hill, you might skip the ice. Inspectors said the slime was pink and brown in the ice machine.
Slime was not found in the ice machine at Thang's Cajun Seafood and Rice at 6410 Antoine. Instead, there were dead roaches inside.
At China Border on the North Freeway near West Road, inspectors said there were dead cockroaches on the food prep table in the kitchen.
Our A's this week go to Baskin Robbins at 1924 El Dorado Boulevard and Fuddruckers at 13010 Northwest Freeway. Both places had perfect inspections.

HELEN — This Alpine village might be known, at least partially, for people hoisting beer steins.
But it was two cranes that took center stage Tuesday, lifting a 154-foot, 30,899-pound pedestrian bridge and guiding it carefully into place next to the Main Street vehicle bridge that crosses the Chattahoochee River downtown.
Workers were dealing with about 2 inches of clearance as they put the green structure in place, securing each side to concrete footings on either side of the river.
The new bridge nearly touches Paul's Steakhouse & Lounge, just off Main Street.
City Manager Jerry Elkins watched as the Georgia Department of Transportation supervised the work.
"For many years, we have needed an additional walkway across the bridge," he said. "One of the problems we were having is people walking beside the roadway between it and the Main Street bridge rail, which is dangerous."
The city and state DOT split costs on the $330,000 project, with the city's 1-cent special purpose local-option sales tax paying for its share, Elkins said.
The work began early in the day with the delivery of the steel bridge in two pieces.
Police officers directed traffic away from the downtown area. The detour involved taking Main Street to Edelweiss Strasse and Chattahoochee Strasse.
Workers spent two hours putting the pieces together and installing bolts.
With onlookers present, including from
inside Paul's, they put the bridge in place at 1:45 p.m., said Teri Pope, DOT spokeswoman.
However, the bridge won't be ready for pedestrians for a while, possibly by late June.
Workers now will pour a 5-inch concrete deck that will serve as the walking surface. The layer of concrete will require about 30 days to completely harden, Pope said.
Until then, tourists can use the 5-foot-wide pedestrian bridge on the opposite side of the new bridge, which is 8 feet wide. The two-lane vehicle bridge has been in place since 1938, with the pedestrian bridge attached later.
Elkins said the city eventually would like to replace the old pedestrian bridge with one that matches the new bridge, "hopefully in the next four or five years."
"But with the economy downturn, who knows at this time what will happen."
For now, though, local residents Fred and Annette Garmon were pleased with the new addition to their town.
The city "needed it because there is so much foot traffic here on the weekends," Fred said.

Pittsburgh -- Dick's Sporting Goods said Tuesday its net income increased 30% in the fourth quarter on improving revenue.
The sporting goods retailer reported net income of $87.5 million in the quarter ended Jan. 29, from $67.4 million last year.
Revenue rose 14% to $1.52 billion from $1.34 billion last year. Analysts expected revenue of $1.45 billion, on average. Same-store sales rose 9.4%. Sporting goods stores were hit hard during the recession as people cut back on bigger ticket items, but sales have improved. The quarter marks Dick's sixth consecutive quarter of higher revenue in stores open at least one year.
For the year, net income rose 35% to $182.1 million. Revenue rose 10% to $4.87 billion.
Dick's plans to open approximately 34 namesake stores and remodel 13 existing units in its current fiscal year. It also plans to open roughly three Golf Galaxy stores.

Improvements and upgrades to the "nerve center" of the Anoka County Jail to improve safety and security have been given the green light by the Anoka County Board.
On the recommendation of its Finance and Capital Improvements Committee, the county board has approved a professional services contract with Elert and Associates, Stillwater, to include design through construction management.
The committee also authorized staff to go out for bids on the project once the design work is completed.
The jail's nerve center is in dire need of repair, according to County Commissioner Matt Look, chairperson of the Finance and Capital Improvements Committee.
"The jail nerve center is radically outdated and does not meet today's standards," said Anoka County Sheriff James Stuart.
According to Andrew Dykstra, county director of facilities management and construction, design work is expected to take two or three months.
As a result, it is likely to be January and February 2014 before the jail upgrades take place, Dykstra.
The project has an estimated price tag of $900,000 with money allocated in the Anoka County Building Fund for the work, he said.
"This is an extremely big project," Dykstra said.
Upgrades will include the central command center, common systems interface platform, video management system, intercom and public address systems and uninterruptible and electrical systems.
While some updates have occurred at the jail since it opened in 1983, much of the equipment is original and does not function properly anymore, according to Dykstra.
For example, the images on the video management system in the central command center, which monitors all activities in the jail, are very fuzzy and the system that controls the 400 to 500 doors in the jail does not always work, Dykstra said.
Anoka County Sheriff James Stuart said that the monitoring system images are so fuzzy that it is not possible to tell an inmate from a jail deputy.
And when the system shows a door has not locked and it is a false alarm, staff have to investigate to make sure that the door is indeed locked and an inmate has not left their cell, he said.
"This is a security issue," Stuart said.
There are also issues with the elevators, while the PA and intercom systems are outdated and not fully functional, he said.
According to Dykstra, the jail staff is constantly battling blown fuses because the low voltage front end equipment is tied into high voltage field units.
As a result, "we keep many boxes of fuses throughout the facility," Dykstra said.
Current furniture in the control center – plastic laminate covered particle board – is falling apart, while most of the upgrades that have taken place have been limited in scope and were piecemeal in nature, he said.
Maintenance costs have increased and a 2012 inspection by the Minnesota Department of Corrections pointed out some of the command center issues, Dykstra said.
There are future plans to replace the existing doors over a period of years, but that will take time because the cost is $1,000 each, he said.
According to Stuart, the jail's physical capacity is 248 inmates, but its functional capacity for "flexibility in moving people around" is 198.
There are some 100 people employed at the jail spread over different shifts, Stuart said.

Ten years ago, Superman Returns reached theatres with the promise of reinvigorating the Man Of Steel's big screen presence. It had a director who had twice proven himself in the superhero genre to tremendous results, actor Kevin Spacey portraying villain Lex Luthor, Marlon Brando (through the magic of outtakes) reprising his role of Jor-El, a newcomer cut in the mold of the iconic Christopher Reeve in the lead, the John Williams theme and a firm connection to the beloved Superman: The Movie and Superman II.
For Brandon Routh, who had been hired for the dual role of Superman and Clark Kent, Superman Returns was expected to be the start of a meteoric rise in Hollywood that would likely see him in a number of sequels while parlaying his newfound fame into other parts. And for director Bryan Singer, it represented the opportunity for him to achieve something extraordinary. Having come off the one-two punch of X-Men and X2: X-Men United, this seemed like the perfect match of material and director. Additionally, he was the man who had cut through 10 years of development hell to get the last son of Krypton back on the big screen nearly two decades after his last film, the disastrous Superman IV: The Quest For Peace.
But something happened on the way to those expectations when talk of a follow-up stalled following Superman Returns' soft (compared to budget) box office. Rumblings of a sequel surfaced every so often, but dissipated, with Singer being fairly non-committal about what was going on and Routh more or less powerless to offer anything substantial regarding updates. Conjecture became moot with the announcement that Zack Snyder would be directing Henry Cavill in the 2013 reboot, Man Of Steel.
"That will be a book someday, when I fully realize that whole experience," smiles Routh, currently starring as Ray Palmer/The Atom in the TV series DC's Legends Of Tomorrow, "but I think just the lack of knowing what was going on for so long was definitely a challenge, because I felt the need to uphold an image. No one asked me to uphold one, but that's how much I cared about the character. I felt certain things might be off-limits, certain roles. At least for the first couple of years when I thought we'd be coming back. As it got further away, that became less and less of an issue."
Singer, who has done quite well cinematically, thank you very much, is represented this summer by X-Men: Apocalypse. It is, he says, difficult for him to assess Superman Returns, pointing out that it actually didn't perform that badly, particularly during the summer when there are certain expectations for that sort of movie.
"I think that Superman Returns was a bit nostalgic and romantic, and I don't think that was what people were expecting, especially in the summer," he muses. "What I had noticed is that there weren't a lot of women lining up to see a comic book movie, but they were lining up to see The Devil Wears Prada, which may have been something I wanted to address."
While in the throes of making a movie, he feels, there isn't always a clarity of thought about that sort of thing. Instead, "you're thinking, 'Wow, I want to make a romantic movie that harkens back to the Richard Donner movie that I love so much.' And that's what I did."
Which, he concurs, conflicted with audience expectations, given what he had accomplished with the X-Men films, which were more realistic and edgier. Additionally, there was the romantic relationship between the Richard White character and Lois Lane, which grew even more complicated with the return of Superman after two and a half years, and his presence in Lois' life. Add to this a child who turns out to be Kal-El's son - all of which might have thrown people off.
"Quentin Tarantino and I had a big conversation about it," Singer notes. "He has a fascination with this film, but the Lois Lane part of it has always been a stickler with him. This is me extrapolating, but the relationship in the Donner film was so black and white and here it was complex. Then there was the child. Again, I really do think I was making it for that Devil Wears Prada audience of women who wouldn't normally come to a superhero film."
Routh expresses that he really likes the movie. While acknowledging that Superman should have thrown a few more punches and that he would have preferred more practical flying effects than CG, those are not areas where he was able to have any influence. "Those are," he says, "small, personal things. But I think it was a very nice movie; it may not have been the Superman movie everyone wanted and I completely understand that - it's hard to please everybody - but I'm very proud of it still. And proud of Bryan and everyone who worked so hard to make it."
Singer shares the sentiment, though the biggest differences he could see in making the movie now would be to have tightened up the first act and maybe open with the exciting plane rescue sequence that occurs later on. One thing he does concede is that perhaps he was too much of a fan of Donner's take.
"What's interesting," he offers, "is that people know I'm a big Trekkie and they're always saying, 'Why don't you do a Star Trek?' and I say, 'I think I'm too big a fan of Star Trek. You'd feel like you were watching Wrath Of Khan again.' So with Superman, I guess it was a similar thing. On the X-Men films, I tried to shed all the comic-ness and tried to make it real. Here, though, I embraced the comic-ness and made this alternate, bucolic Metropolis. But I am very much in love with the Donner picture. For me, the journey was exciting because I got the chance to reprise those images and explore it. When you're fascinated by something and you love it, part of making the movie is trying to please everyone and make a successful movie, but part of it is an experimental kind of thing."
In retrospect, Routh believes that everything has worked out okay. When he first signed on to play Superman, beyond the fame he knew the part could bring, there was concern about the potential stigma, particularly as he was knowledgeable of actors who had previously played the character and the challenge they had in their future acting careers.
"But I certainly think the opportunity was bigger than any fear," Routh relates, "and that's how I approach life, I guess. I find the positive always outweighs the negative in everything that I do, and that's why I do it. There's going to be fear in anything, and as long as you go through it with positive intentions, of making the best out of it, usually you can make magic or find something positive. Or in the end learn something. So I was just excited about the opportunity and made the best out of it."

Yesterday I took delivery of a copy of my book, International Courts and Environmental Protection, which is published by Cambridge University Press. It is great finally to see the work in print.
The book is based on my doctorate and seeks to offer a comprehensive examination of international environmental litigation from the very first cases through to the most recent. At the heart of the book lies the question: what benefits, if any, are brought by litigating environmental disputes on the international plane? The answer I give is a mixed one. Some international courts and tribunals (such as the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea) have been at the vanguard of developments, while others (such as the International Court of Justice) have been towards the back of the caravan. Interestingly it is some adjudicative bodies without an environmental specialisation, such as WTO Panels and the Appellate Body, that have been surprisingly 'activist' when it comes to addressing the great global environmental issues of our time.
More details on the book can be found here and the book is available from various sellers, including Amazon.

After trading goals in each of the first two periods, Little Falls scored twice in the third to defeat visiting Morris-Benson Area 4-2, Tuesday, and earn its first win of the season.
Sophomore Landon Bjorge scored the opening goal of the game for the Flyers, but Morris-Benson came back to take a 2-1 advantage midway through the second period.
It was a short-lived lead, however, as senior Jack Schulte evened the score back up 34 seconds later, sending the game into the third period deadlocked at 2-2.
The Flyers wasted little time taking control coming out of the intermission, as freshman Hunter Swanson tallied his first career goal 40 seconds into the third, with senior Mark Anez adding a short-handed insurance goal with four minutes to play.
Sophomore Gunner Boser made 22 saves to earn the win in net and sophomore Braden Backowski had two assists on the night.

Please nominate @rmacpherson for a #shortyawards for his work saving sharks http://t.co/3bmUf0izzn— Angelo Villagomez (@saipanblogger) February 1, 2015
I know that a few of you still read this blog. I need your help. My buddy Rick MacPherson has been an all around amazing guy for the last several decades -- I won't say exactly how many. In the conservation universe, he's the smart guy in the background that gives all the credit to the local kid (you know, like me!). In the time that I've known him, we've worked together to protect the Mariana Trench from overfishing and sharks in two oceans. I want to show him how much I appreciate him, so I nominated him for a Shorty Award.
I nominated Rick in the Activist category, although he could also be nominated in the Blogger category. He's been blogging about ocean issues nearly as long as me. In fact, he was one of the people who first hosted Carnival of the Blue, which eventually evolved into Science Oceans Online (this was like a decade ago, most of you kids were infants). There are other categories he could probably be nominated for, but I suspect that Healthy Living isn't one of them.
Nominating Rick is extremely simple. You just click on the banner above -- or the banner below. Then tweet to the organizers of the Shorty Awards why you think Rick should be this year's activist. I've nominated him for sharks and corals, but you could also nominate him for his support of equal rights.
After you follow the link and tweet your reason for nominating Rick using their web form, there are other ways you can help:
1. You can help broadcast Rick's unique Shorty Awards url: http://shortyawards.com/rmacpherson/ on Twitter, Facebook, and other social media websites.
2. You can email your friends about Rick and ask them to nominate him.
3. You can write a blog about Rick and ask your readers to nominate him.
4. You can grab your friends phones and use their Twitter accounts to nominate Rick.
5. I'm sure there are other things you can do. Come on, Rick is a great guy! Let's win this for him!

AN engineering student is living life in the fast lane after scooping a prestigious award at Trafford College
Oliver Skelland, 19, was named as Student of the Year, a new award which is jointly organised with the college and in partnership with Northampton based Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains(HPP).
Oliver who won the award while doing his level 3 BTEC course, was chosen as outright winner by teachers for his dedication, enthusiasm and his exemplary attendance.
Top performing students, such as Oliver, were given the opportunity to apply for advanced apprenticeships with HPP, the organisation which designs, develops and manufactures the Mercedes-Benz Formula 1 racing engines and hybrid systems.
His prize now includes a guaranteed work placement, £500 and a signed certificate from Andy Cowell, HPP's managing director.
Oliver said: "Winning this prize is the best thing that has ever happened to me! I have been watching Formula 1 since I was four years old and as soon as I heard about this opportunity at HPP, I wanted to be part of it.
"After college, my dream job would be to work at HPP. I'm looking forward to my work experience there; it'll be the highlight of my year!
"The college has really helped and supported me and I wouldn't have had this fantastic opportunity without them. £500 is the most money I've ever had and I still can't believe it!"
Sir Bill Moorcroft, college principal said: "Engineering and technology is at the heart of everything we do. As a college it's important for us to develop relationships with world-class companies like HPP to give our students the best opportunities to progress into high profile careers."
Stuart Boyer, employee development manager for HPP, briefed students on the competition last year during a special visit to the college's centre for science and technology.
Mr Boyer added: "Working alongside Trafford College we are able to tap into a wide pool of talent and raise awareness of the great opportunities we have available at HPP. Oliver's guaranteed interview will give him a head start on the other applicants for an apprenticeship in F1."
The award Is the first competition of its kind and involves both engineering and motor vehicle students who have been observed and had their work evaluated.

Renaming a ClearCase VOB or View
Technote (FAQ)
How do I rename an IBM® Rational® ClearCase® VOB or view on Microsoft® Windows®, UNIX® or Linux®?
You chose VOB names that resemble your project names to easily distinguish the VOBs. Now, you changed your project names, because you merged two products into one.
To completely rename a ClearCase VOB (replicated or non-replicated) or View requires that both the storage and the tag be renamed.
These operations can be performed from a command line.
The instructions below are designed to provide the basic steps. Refer to the documentation listed at the bottom of this technote for further details about the commands and their options.
Network Attached Storage Considerations
Rename a VOB
- Unmount the VOB.
Run cleartool umount \<VOB-tag> on the local host.
- For ClearCase only (not CCLT), any host that has it mounted with the old name after the rename has been completed will need to be rebooted to clear the MVFS.
- All snapshot views will need to load the VOB with the new name (tag).
- Kill the vob_server process for the VOB. The command will vary on differing operating systems, refer to technote 1148639 for directions.
Note: Stopping the ClearCase services on the host will also kill the process; see technote refer to Start and stop ClearCase from the Windows command line for directions on stopping the services.
- Remove the VOB tag.
to untag the VOB.
cleartool rmtag -vob -all \<VOB-tag>
- Remove the ClearCase registry entry.
to unregister the VOB object.
cleartool unregister -vob <VOB-storage-pname>.vbs
- Rename the VOB storage directory using operating system commands:
- UNIX or Linux
mv <old-VOB-storage> <new-VOB-storage>.vbs
- Windows
rename <old-VOB-storage> <new-VOB-storage>.vbs
- UNIX or Linux
- Register the new name of the VOB storage.
cleartool register -vob <new-VOB-storage>.vbs
- Create a new tag for the VOB.
cleartool mktag -vob -public -tag \<new-VOB-tag> <new-VOB-storage>.vbs
- Mount the new VOB tag.
on all clients to remount the VOB
cleartool mount <new-VOB-tag>
- For ClearCase only (not CCLT).
- For MultiSite® replicated VOBs, the steps are the same as above to rename the VOB. When renaming a replicated VOB it is recommended that the VOB tags match with the other sites to avoid confusion.
- Stop the view.
cleartool endview <view-tag>
Note: For ClearCase only, any host that has a dynamic view started with the old name after the rename has been completed will need to be rebooted to clear the MVFS.
- Kill the view_server process. Run cleartool endview -server <view-tag>
Note: Stopping the ClearCase services on the host will also kill the process; see technote Start and stop ClearCase from the Windows command line for directions on stopping the services.
See technote How to use the Rational ClearCase albd_list utility for further information about how to list active ClearCase server processes.
- Remove the view-tag.
to untag the view.
cleartool rmtag -view <view-tag>
- Remove the ClearCase registry entry.
to unregister the view object.
cleartool unregister -view <view-storage-pname>.vws
- Rename the view storage directory using operating system commands:
- UNIX or Linux
mv <old-view-storage> <new-view-storage>.vws
- Windows
rename <old-view-storage> <new-view-storage>.vws
- UNIX or Linux
- Register the new name of the view storage.
cleartool register -view <view-storage-pname>.vws
- Create a new tag for the view.
cleartool mktag -view -tag <view-tag> <view-storage-pname>.vws
- (dynamic view only) Start the View.
cleartool startview <new-view-tag>
- (snapshot view only) Rename the view root directory if you wish to have the name correspond with the storage directory name change.
Note: This procedure describes a rename and there are additional steps that would need to be taken if you decide to move (rather than rename) the snapshot view directory which contains special files.
Refer to the IBM Rational ClearCase Administrators Guide on the topic of Moving a View for information on moving instead of renaming a view.
Network Attached Storage (NAS) considerations
To register or create a tag for a VOB or view that resides on a network attached storage (NAS) device, you must specify the option set, –host –gpath.
In the following example the VOB storage is located in the net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs directory on a NAS device and the UNIX or Linux hosting server is ccvobsvr1.
cleartool register –vob –host ccvobsvr1 –hpath /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs –gpath /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs
cleartool mktag –vob –replace –host ccvobsvr1 –tag /vobs/flex –hpath /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs –gpath /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs /net/nasdevice/vobst_aux/flex.vbs

House Democrats repeat Sandy sequester lie
Connecticut Democrat Rep. Rosa DeLauro claims sequester-exempted Sandy spending was sequestered, cites general agency cuts unrelated to Sandy as proof.
With student debt now exceeding total credit card debt, college and the accompanying debt may be the next bubble waiting its turn to burst.
Since the early 1980s, with exposed blade tips spinning in open space at speeds up to 200 mph the wind industry has known there is no way its propeller-style turbines could ever be safe for raptors. It was impossible.
Stossel: Unions are still bad for education
"Kids are assigned to schools, and a bureaucracy decides who goes where and who learns what. Over time, its tentacles expand and strangle attempts to reform. Since they have no fear of losing their jobs to competitors, [education] monopoly bureaucrats can resist innovation for decades."

In early February, ESPN released an "insider report" suggesting the New York Giants would place a higher priority on signing wide receiver Hakeem Nicks to a long-term deal than they would on pending restricted free agent (RFA) Victor Cruz. On Thursday, co-owner John Mara refuted that report, claiming the team is taking an equal priority approach and that they want both wideouts in blue for a very long time.
"They're both priorities for us. They're both terrific players," co-owner John Mara said Thursday between meetings at the NFL Scouting Combine. "We hope they're both Giants for a long time."
When pressed about the ESPN report, which initially came from Adam Schefter, Mara blatantly called it false and inaccurate information.
"I don't know where that came from; that's not true at all," Mara said. "They're both priorities for us."
All that said, Mara admits that nothing has changed in the negotiations between the Giants and Cruz. He and his camp are still seeking unrealistic numbers for a No. 2 wide receivers, and the Giants refuse to break the bank for him. Of course, that's not to say they don't want him back, as Mara repeatedly made it clear they do.
"Nothing has changed," Mara said. "He'll hopefully be back with us next year, and hopefully at some point, we'll have an agreement with him."
In the end, if it does come down to a choice between the two, the right answer is and always will be Hakeem Nicks.

Britney Spears has revealed an official cover art of her controversial single 'If U Seek Amy' from her sixth studio album 'Circus'.
Britney Spears has released an official cover art for her song "If U Seek Amy". Having a tag read "BritneySpears IfUSeekAmy" being attached on it, the artwork features a close-up picture of the singer staring at something in the distance.
"If U Seek Amy" was announced as the third single off Britney's sixth major studio album "Circus" on January 7 after receiving 26% of total votes during a poll on her official website. It recently got a warning from the Parents Television Council (PTC) over its lyrics "If U Seek Amy", which sounds like "F*** Me" when sung quickly. Despite its controversy, the track peaked at number 61 on Billboard Pop 100 and sold more than 107,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
In related news, illusionist-comedian Ed Alonzo has been hired to support Britney Spears' upcoming circus-themed tour. During the roadshow, the magician will show several magic tricks, one of which is placing the singer into a big box and slicing her up.
