In my first post on American Girl Place in Chicago, I showed the smart ways they orient customers to store offerings. In this post, I'll show you how they use museum techniques to add depth and a feeling of authenticity to their dolls and related products.
On the lower level of the store is the theater, showing a live musical production. The musical has also been made into a feature film by Warner Brothers. They include an exhibit, including the costumes, to take girls behind the scenes of the production.
Next up are vignettes, staged exactly like museum dioramas, telling the backstory on several of the dolls from each era. This Native American doll's story is set in 1764. "Kaya" is a Nez Perce Native American doll.
"Josefina Montoya's" story is set in New Mexico in 1824.
Pioneer "Kirsten Larson" lives in Minnesota in 1854.
Each of these dolls comes with a line of books, clothing, and other merchandise. This grounding in museum-style exhibits, however, adds a whole new layer of authenticity to their stories, making it seem even more like they might have been real girls.
Tip of the day: Adding rich layers to quality offerings enhances the value of your entire experience. How can you add story to your experience?

9-year-old girl's condition improves
El Paso, TX (KDBC) — Officers assigned to the Northeast Tactical Unit and the Special Traffic Investigations Unit have located the Dodge pickup truck they allege was involved in a hit and run collision that left 9-year-old Mariah Lewis with serious injuries Sunday night.
Monday, Lewis' family contacted NewsChannel9 with an update on her condition, saying "She is doing so much better. She is awake now, she can't remember a lot, but doctors say that's normal and the first few days will be foggy."
El Paso Police officers say the investigation continues.

CROWN POINT | Lake Criminal Court Judge Clarence Murray on Thursday sentenced a 31-year-old Chicago man to 55 years in prison for his role in a 2011 drug-related shooting and high-speed chase.
Lyndon Davis had been convicted of murder in February in the shooting of 38-year-old Parrish Myles, of Dolton, Ill., at The Mansards apartments in Griffith.
The actual shooter — Davis' uncle, Robert E. Davis, of Chicago — is serving a 65-year sentence after conviction last year. The shooting in broad daylight led to an immediate police pursuit of the men through Griffith, Hammond and Highland before the two were apprehended.
The trial revealed a South Side Chicago drug dealer had ordered a hit on Myles, believing he was responsible for missing drug money.
The hit was handed to Lyndon Davis, who claimed reluctance to shoot Myles as ordered, instead mentioning the hit to his uncle who not long before had been released from prison after serving 23 years on a prior murder charge.
During trial, defense attorney Kevin Milner, of Merrillville, had argued the younger Davis had not anticipated his uncle would shoot Myles with so many witnesses about the property.
During lengthy deliberations, the jury twice sought assistance from the court on the law regarding aiding and abetting a crime but returned the next day to convict Davis of murder within 40 minutes.
During Thursday's emotion-filled sentencing, Davis attempted again to present his version of events to the judge, denying he brought his uncle to the apartment complex to kill Myles in front of children. Judge Murray rejected the effort, reminding Davis of his right to appeal the conviction.
Myles' mother earlier broke down briefly while recounting the loss of her son but also extended Davis her forgiveness.
Davis sympathized with Myles' family but argued he had been turning his life around and had custody of his children.
Deputy prosecuting attorney Angela Mattozzi, however, cited Davis' lengthy prior criminal history and argued that but for the younger Davis' influence, his uncle would not have shot Myles.

5 Ways 'I Wish I Was Mexican' Mitt Reveals Contempt for Brown and Black People
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney addresses a fundraising event in Salt Lake City.
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Mitt Romney wishes he was Mexican. And right now, much of the Republican establishment wishes he would self-deport.
The reason, of course, is the now-infamous video of Romney's remarks to a group of well-heeled donors at a fundraising event in Boca Raton last May, in which the Republican presidential candidate, a multimillionaire, paints nearly half the American population as moochers -- people who, he said, "see themselves as victims," and believe they have a right to food, shelter and health care at government expense.
The candidate seems not to grasp that, included in the 47 percent painted by Romney as takers are senior citizens, members of the armed forces, a portion of the unemployed and others who comprise part of Romney's own constituency. The fallout is said to have set on edge the teeth of the very wealthy donors whom Romney once courted with such words of wisdom.
But nestled amid the contempt Romney shows for everyday people of all races who receive tax credits or Social Security is a simmering resentment of brown and black people. First, Romney says he wishes that he had been born to Mexican parents, rather than to an American father born in Mexico, because "I'd have a better shot at winning this."
Then, as he derides those who fall below the threshold that triggers an income-tax obligation, Romney concludes that all of those people "will vote for the president no matter what" -- presumably because the black president, as Romney has alleged in the past, is all about fostering a culture of government dependency.
Later in the video, which was obtained by Mother Jones, Romney describes Palestinians as a fundamentally violent group.
Up until this point, as I chronicled the race-baiting and bigotry of the Romney campaign, I had seen it all as a cynical strategy deployed simply to appeal to the basest instincts of the Republican base -- and not necessarily reflective of Mitt's own biases. But the video tells a different tale. There, in the well-appointed home of leveraged buyout mogul Marc Leder, Romney seems to be, at last, his authentic self, speaking in a relaxed manner before people of his own social class, giving the subtext of Romney's wish-I-was-a-Mexican remark the feel of a more authentic racial resentment.
Here are five examples of ways in which Romney has demonstrated disrespect for brown and black people.
1. Latinos get all the breaks. Early in his remarks to the Boca burghers, Romney discusses his "heritage:"
My dad, as you probably know, was the governor of Michigan and was the head of a car company. But he was born in Mexico… and had he been born of, uh, Mexican parents, I'd have a better shot at winning this. But he was unfortunately born to Americans living in Mexico. He lived there for a number of years. I mean, I say that jokingly, but it would be helpful to be Latino.
Because, you know, there have been so many Latino U.S. presidents.
Mitt's Mexican dream has given rise to all manner of hilarity on late-night shows and in the Twitterverse, where the newly hatched @MexicanMitt ("I am the Juan Percent!") is presently holding court.
Viewed in the context of his later comments about Obama voters as being freeloaders, Romney's rationale for wanting to be Latino seems to be that all those moocheros would totally vote for a guy just because he looks like them, as would, presumably, all those other dependency-addicted Americans, since a Latino prez, like a black one, is, in his view, emblematic of the dependency culture. It's a novel variation on the old producerist trope that dates back to the pre-Civil War Jacksonian age, and was used as a rationale for maintaining slavery.

Cisco Systems plans to extend unified communications beyond individual enterprises, introducing a new appliance and a protocol that the company hopes will become an industry standard.
At a press briefing via telepresence on Thursday, Cisco gave details of the Intercompany Media Engine (IME), a server that will make it easier for employees in separate enterprises who are using Cisco's unified communications (UC) tools to start making video conference calls in place of regular voice calls. They could start those video conferences using existing phone numbers and current UC client devices, such as video phones and PC softphones, as long as those devices support video. In addition to having the video component, those sessions would be VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) calls, and the whole session would travel over an IP network for free. The IME will become available within the next few weeks.
[ In the currect economic climate, unified communications, collaboration can help save cash. | Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. ]
UC is a set of capabilities designed to help workers collaborate more closely and reach each other more easily. In addition to video calls, it can include instant messaging, presence information, click-to-call buttons and the extension of office-phone capabilities to mobile devices. But UC platforms mostly have been deployed within enterprises and not between them, said Tony Bates, senior vice president and general manager of Cisco's Enterprise, Commercial and Small Business unit. In the IME, Cisco claims it can make those capabilities easy to use among a network of companies that frequently work together.
To start, the company's effort will be built around its own IME server and current Cisco UC platforms, though with the Cisco Session Manager, enterprises could make the IME work with older Cisco equipment or third-party UC systems. But Cisco wants to extend these capabilities to as many users as possible, so it has made the technology underlying the IME, called Viper, available to the industry. Viper stands for Verification Involving PSTN Reachability. Last November, Cisco submitted it to the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) as a proposed standard, said Barry O'Sullivan, senior vice president of Cisco's Voice Technology Group.
"We don't want these islands of productivity at all, we want to connect them all up, whether they're Cisco customers or anybody else's customers," O'Sullivan said.
IETF standardization typically is a two-year process, and Cisco will implement any changes made to Viper as it winds through the process, said Joe Burton, Cisco's chief technology officer for UC.
An IME will reside at each enterprise location. The first time a user makes a call to someone at a partner company, the IME will collect information about that call and determine the best route for it over the Internet or a private IP network. From then on, calls between those numbers won't go over the PSTN (public switched telephone network), and they won't have to be processed by the IME, which is only responsible for setting up the IP path in the beginning. Users won't have to change the way they initiate calls, and the IT department won't have to reconfigure anything at the client, Cisco said.

Airbus Increases A330 Payload and Range
Increased range and payload for the Airbus A330 twin-aisle twinjet, announced by the European manufacturer here at the Farnborough International airshow yesterday, will be welcomed by Malaysia Airlines (MAS), whose brand-new A380 very large airliner also opened the week's flying-displays. After requests from owners and operators, Airbus is offering the enhanced performance, which will permit A330s to fly between Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur and Paris among other potential new city-pair services cited by Airbus chief operating officer for customers John Leahy.
The new variant will be available at a maximum takeoff weight (mtow) of about 529,200 pounds, up from earlier increased mtow of 518,175 pounds chosen by six airlines, including three in Asia, and about 524,790 pounds selected by at least six Asia Pacific operators.
MAS said recently it is awaiting details of Airbus A330 product-development plans before deciding on a widebody-fleet rationalization. The Asian carrier operates more than 20 A330-200s and -300s, previously ordered another 15 A330s and has been considering whether to add more if the European manufacturer could find some additional range. Group chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya has said that, in such a case, MAS might elect to adopt an all-Airbus widebody fleet by relinquishing its 17 ageing Boeing 777-200ERs.
For its part, Airbus sees the enhanced A330 as a lower-cost, more-efficient alternative to the U.S. design. The European manufacturer says the new A330-300 model would cover "94 percent of the 777-200ER network."
The increased weight will be introduced on the A330-300 model, which would "benefit from up to 400 nm extra range, to 5,950 nm with 300 passengers, and carry nearly 5,000 kg [about 11,000 pounds] more payload than today's 235,000-kg [aircraft]," with entry into service around the middle of 2015.
Subsequently, the A330-200 and A330-200F mtows would be similarly raised: "The new [529,000 pounds] A330-200 will fly up to 270 nm further–to 7,050 nm–with 246 passengers, and carry over [5,510 pounds)] more payload than today's [524,691 pounds] A330-200."
In range terms, Airbus said the new A330-300 would also be able to connect, say, London to Tokyo; Frankfurt to Cape Town; Beijing to Melbourne or San Francisco; or Los Angeles to Dublin. "Moreover, compared with the [1992] original 212,000-kg [about 467,500 pounds] A330-300, [it] can fly 2,000 nm further [including to] 90 percent of the [London Heathrow] market, [compared with] 39 percent [originally]."
Airbus has delivered 887 A330s and holds orders for a further 306, Leahy claiming that 750 have been sold since Boeing launched the rival Model 787. Some 115 are said to have been ordered since the beginning of last year.
Compared with the 518,000-pound A330, a new aerodynamic package drawing on technology used on the upcoming A350 is said to reduce fuel consumption by one percent, while engines offer a further one-percent improvement. Also, a "load-alleviation function" modifies the span-wise load distribution to move loading inboard in gusts or continuous turbulence–so-called "de-stressing" of the wing that permits the higher mtow.
This new A330 is a great replacement for for the unborn A350-800XWB.

Why bad news is the best news for investors
Dozens of fund managers and strategists say Americans ought to get in touch with their greedy side.
By Robert Holmes, TheStreet
With no solution in sight for Europe and economic growth slowing in emerging markets and here at home, investors will have to find a new way to generate gains.
Thankfully, dozens of fund managers and strategists meeting together last week in San Francisco at Schwab's annual investor conference offered an in-depth view of their plans and advice to clients.
The investment managers don't see eye to eye. After one portfolio manager said he expects a soft landing for China's booming economy, the next strategist asserted China will slow drastically. As one person talks up corporate debt of emerging-market companies, someone else touts the attractiveness of U.S. blue-chip stocks.
Post continues below.

Mark Travis, president of Intrepid Capital Funds, said clients showed trepidation at his annual shareholder dinner. "The best values occur in the capital markets when people are the most afraid," he said.
George Evans, director of equities with Oppenheimer Funds, said when investor confidence is shaken, "people that are given to react to short-term fears are putting on selling pressure."
"The most important thing people have got to understand is that, over a reasonable holding period, there are going to be many different macro situations," Evans says, referring to shifts in global economies. "Prices are usually good when fears are at their highest."
The professionals all agree on one thing: Investors with a long-term horizon should be in the market now. Evans says equity investing should be "measured in years, not months or quarters."
Some investors welcome big swings in the market.
"I get very excited when there's turmoil and volatility in the world. That's how we make money," says Stephen Jones, chairman of Jones Villalta Asset Management. His firm's mutual fund, the Jones Villalta Opportunity Fund, carries the tagline: "The long term is the only term."
"If it's just a flat, steady, even-as-you-go pace, that's not a good time to be a stock picker," says Jones, who takes the same approach as other value investors. "Volatility and bad news are really our friend."
Omar Aguilar, chief investment officer at Charles Schwab, said investors will have to get used to slow growth and a high level of uncertainty.
"Volatility is something that has dominated the market for many years," Aguilar says. "It's not a new crisis. It's just a different one. What we see today is a lack of confidence from both investors and corporations."
Aguilar makes the case for owning equities now, saying company profits are robust and debt is lower than it has been. "There are great opportunities in the equity market where yields are relatively attractive," he adds.
David Marcus, chief investment officer at Evermore Global Advisors, said "investors are in panic mode. They're freaking out. Today, there are more opportunities than ever before because so many people have left the markets."
Marcus favors corporations based in Europe that operate globally. "Investors are reading headlines about Europe and they're dumping stocks indiscriminately," he said. "There are good companies based in Europe. We're seeing companies trading at single-digit multiples."
Heiner Skaliks, portfolio manager of the Strategic Latin America Fund, says Latin America has been overlooked, particularly fixed-income securities from Brazil and equities from Mexico, Peru and Chile.
Elsewhere, Luz Padilla, a portfolio manager at DoubleLine specializing in emerging-markets fixed-income, says corporate bonds are alluring because of the potential for an improvement in credit.
Here in the U.S., Craig Hodges, president of Hodges Capital Management, said investor confidence is the lowest he's ever seen it.
"I don't know when the economy will get better," he said. "But I do know that at some point greed will return. When it does, small-caps will do fantastic."
Liz Ann Sonders, chief investment strategist at Charles Schwab, said equities should outshine fixed income and commodities.
"I'd be biased toward U.S. equities," she said. "There is a tremendous number of investors who are underexposed to U.S. equities. Stocks will find some investors moving from the fixed-income area, particularly if we see a tick up in yields."
So bad news is the new "good news'? And the answer to everyone's problem is that we all need to get greedy again. Really? Seriously? Spoken like a true Goldman Sachs executive. HA!
What the investment managers all know on and agree is that it's probably a good time to pick up on some good deals. The tough sell is getting the disgruntled masses who've been taken for a ride on the volatility train to put their hard earned money back into a crap shoot. Good luck with that!

Sisters in war : a story of love, family, and survival in the new Iraq

What other readers are saying about this title:
Ryner said:
Sisters in War follows the struggles and accomplishments of three women during US-occupied Iraq following the Iraq War. Manal is an Iraqi ex-pat from the US who returns as an aid worker. Heather is a US Army reservist who arrives in Iraq believing that she can personally make a difference and that her country has Iraq's best interests at heart. The heart of the story, however, lies with Zia, a young, educated Iraqi woman who finds employment with the US headquarters in Baghdad. Despite the propaganda depicted in broadcasts outside Iraq, not everyone in the country is welcoming the American occupation with open arms. Zia experiences not only resentment from fellow Iraqis at her association with the Americans, but ultimately both her and her family's very lives are put at risk.
Although Zia's story was compelling, it's hard to imagine how many other young Iraqi women are in similar threatening or oppressive situations whose stories will never be told. I also found it nearly impossible to come away from the book without a continued feeling of dismay and hopelessness for the Iraq situation. Worth reading, but don't expect closure of any kind.

SPRINGFIELD (AP) -- Gov. Pat Quinn is expected to push for more early childhood education funding in his annual State of the State Address.
The governor's office says Quinn will call for a more "comprehensive approach" to education in Illinois during his speech on Wednesday. That includes increasing access to prenatal care.
The information was first reported by the Chicago Sun-Times.
The Illinois State Board of Education is asking lawmakers for a $25 million increase in early childhood education next year. But funding could be scarce. That's because a scheduled rollback of the state's temporary income tax may mean cuts for schools and social services.
The speech comes as Quinn faces re-election.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

20 things to know about Obamacare [Pictures]
President Barack Obama's national health care reform begins Tuesday with the launch of open enrollment for the health care exchanges. Here are 20 things you need to know about the program. -- Compiled by Baltimore Sun reporters Andrea K. Walker, Eileen Ambrose, Scott Dance and Lorraine Mirabella
Image 1 of 20
How does the law work?( Mark Wilson, Getty Images / September 26, 2013 )
Under Obamacare, everyone who files a federal income tax form is required to have insurance. Most employers also have to offer coverage, though the Obama administration delayed penalties for companies with more than 50 full-time workers that don't until 2015. Individuals who choose not to buy insurance also will pay a penalty. Insurance works by pooling the payments of many people to pay for their care. For the reform to work, everyone needs to enroll so that there is a mix of healthy and sick people paying into and using the system.

Great Upgrade
By WillF

About Me Competitive Cyclist
Comments about Shimano 105 STI Levers:
I replaced my original Ultegra shifters from 2000. Those saw around 24,000 miles which says something about durability from Shimano. Technology has made leaps and bounds since 2000 The 2012 105 shifters were the 2011 Ultegra shifter according to my mechanic. It just trickled down. That is great news for anyone who is looking for an affordable lever that has excellent performance, nice looks, and a great feel. I've owned them for about 3 weeks and put about 300 miles on them. No issues. If you are a carbon junkie then the Ultegra levers would be the better choice. If price is no concern then go with the Dura-Ace.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Just what I needed
By Frank

About Me Avid Cyclist
See all my reviews
The ergonomics on these shift levers is excellent. I like the adjustable feature of the brake levers and the hidden shift cables. They make the bars look much cleaner. Nice shifting and good brake leverage when you are down on the hoods. Just what I needed to spruce up my secondary bike in Florida. Good price from Nashbar.

Great Levers for most avid raiders
By Molikop
from Cincinnati, OH
These 2011 levelers are great, while lighter than the previous year models they have some extra features such as different positions for the front derailleur to avoid chain contact with it. They come with all the cables, housing and hardware you will need to install them.On the cons side of things you might need to upgrade some of your components. I have 2010 - 105s for everything but the brakes (Tiagra). Because of the new pull ratio you might feel you don't have enough braking power, with some cable tension adjustment you can get "around" of the issue but you will want to get new brakes down the road.
There was a problem adding this item to your cart.

The Griz battled Cal Poly on Saturday at Washington-Grizzly Stadium winning in overtime 21 - 14.
The University of Montana started the game with a 7-0 lead on the Cal Poly Mustang's but weren't able to score on any more drives in the first half. Cal Poly's defense were tough, stopping completions and giving Jordan Johnson his first interception of the season. At the end of the half the Mustang's led 14-7.
Griz Coach Delany was critical of their offensive play, "We were very, very sporadic on offense. You can't get behind schedule on 1st downs and then be forced to throw the ball. We have to get back and run the football. This kind of offense you're not going get a whole bunch of possessions, so you better take advantage of them and put points on the board when you do."
Coach Delany also had an update on Travon Van who was injured earlier in the game, "Travon hurt an ankle I believe, he is probably done for the day, I'm not sure how bad, but I know he is done for today."
The Griz tried to turn things around in the middle of the third. Their defense held off Cal Poly and kept them from scoring, but offense failed to put up any points in the quarter keeping it 14-7.
Early in the 4th Johnson had a solid drive to put them in scoring position but he fumbled at the end zone leaving him scoreless for the game. Tripp Johnson then recovered a Cal Poly fumble for a turnover but the Griz again failed to cross the end zone on the possession. Jordan Tripp had one of the game winning plays when he blocked a field goal attempt by Cal Poly, the second of the day, giving them one more chance at a scoring possession. The Griz pulled it together and scored a TD with only :12 seconds to spare, tying the game 14-14 at the end of regulation play.
The Griz started overtime on offense and Johnson came through with a 23 yard pass to Ellis Henderson who battled his way into the end zone to score giving UM a 21 – 14 lead. Brock Coyle ended the game with an interception for the Griz. This win brings UM 6-1 for the season and 3-1 in conference play.
Jordan Johnson threw for a total of 242 yards but the Griz only put up 73 rushing. Cal Poly had a total of 95 passing yards with 308 rushing. Both teams had 2 turnovers, each with a fumble and an interception.

Empire: Total War (PC)
After 10 years of ranging far and wide through the ancient world, the Total War developers creep closer to the modern age of actual total war. The term "total war" refers to the type of conflict in which all of a nation's resources are mobilized against all of its enemy's resources, no holds barred. Ironically enough, this is certainly not how the Total War series works. In Shogun, Medieval and Rome, armies meet on discrete battlefields, bang on each other, and then go home to the strategic map after a winner has been declared. It's how the games play, it's how wars were historically fought, and it's clearly not what people talk about when they say "total war".
But Empire: Total War is different. It runs the length of the 18th century and the breadth of the Western Hemisphere, from American Indians to subcontinental ones, skimming Africa to the south and going deep into Scandinavia to the north. War goes to sea with new naval combat that affects trade routes. Now artillery plays a central role on the battlefield, smashing houses that armies might requisition. Now towns are razed, farms are looted, and universities are burned. This ambitious, gorgeous, amphibious game is as epic as you'd expect. And then some. War is on the cusp of new atrocities and it's as "total" as Total War has ever been.
It is also a terrible mess from start to finish that makes me wonder if developer Creative Assembly has contempt for its fan base and utter disregard for everyone else. But I'll get to that in a moment.
Tactics, meet strategy. Strategy, meet tactics.
As with the previous games in the Total War series, there are two distinct types of gameplay here. The tactical battles look better than ever, and the new emphasis on artillery changes the way they're fought, letting the player with the biggest guns reach across some expansive maps. These juicy targets give cavalry a renewed sense of purpose (the artificial intelligence certainly appreciates the significance of artillery, based on how it makes a mad dash at anything resembling a cannon). The new naval combat is another example of developer Creative Assembly bringing battlefields to life. We've seen some nice-looking historical naval combat these days, most recently in Pirates of the Burning Sea. But nothing rivals these thrilling naval engagements between ships populated with little men who fling themselves into the water as their vessels sink. There are shredded sails, toppled masts, explosions, splashes, waves and debris. Time was when people who loved these historical details had to imagine them while staring at hexes. But there's no historically-themed eye candy like the latest Total War eye candy, and Empire doesn't disappoint.
All of this is situated on an entirely new strategic map, which abandons the old model of provinces in favor of something more fragmented. The map is still divided into provinces for the purposes of who controls land. But there is a new resource model built around towns springing up in their historical locations, each its own unique resource "node." As towns emerge, you dedicate them to various specialties. Do you want to make money, placate the population, or advance your technology? Choose wineries, plantations, churches or schools. The new strategic layer does a great job of bringing the map to life and giving it as much historical flavor as the far more complicated maps in Paradox's Europa Universalis series.
In fact, the strategic part of Empire: Total War is clearly inspired by the Civilization games, with a light touch of Europa Universalis for good measure. Balance happiness between the nobles and the lower classes. Work your way through a relatively broad tech tree that has an immediate effect on the gameplay. Train and shuffle stacks of armies that drink up your income. Rely on a combination of trade and taxes. Set up a system of alliances with your neighbors to determine who and where you fight. Instead of having to build individual agents, they're periodically spit onto the world stage based on how you've configured your towns. Each of these new twists to the Total War series is grounded in some of the best strategy games you've already played. To Creative Assembly's credit, it's borrowing from the best.
Overall, the basic strategic system is a welcome change. Empire is less clunky than any of the previous games in the series. The interface is still a disappointment, with too few hotkeys, not enough information displayed on the map and far too many game mechanics displayed but not explained. For instance, Creative Assembly obviously appreciates the way Civilization presents rows of icons to represent the balance of positive and negative influences on factors like happiness, income and growth. But it doesn't seem to understand that what made Civilization good wasn't the way it lined up icons, but the way you could manage the icons. In Civilization, you can clearly tell what creates how many icons, and how many you need. They're not there for information. They're playing pieces. That's not the case here, where icons line up for various reasons buried far deeper in the game.
On a need-to-know basis, and you don't need to know
Being obtuse wouldn't be such a problem if it weren't for the first and earliest problem with Empire: Total War. This is one of the most poorly documented games I've ever had the misfortune to try to play. There are other games with worse manuals, to be sure, but very few that neglect so completely to explain basic gameplay. For all the fine work Creative Assembly has done trying to design a game, it couldn't be bothered to teach players how to actually play? There's a heavily scripted American Revolutionary War campaign that introduces some of the mechanics over the course of a few scenarios. It's a start, but only a start. The manual, which should pick up where the tutorial campaign leaves off, is a pathetic CliffsNotes travesty that might as well be a promotional pamphlet. The tooltips are moderately helpful at laying bare some of the game's mechanics, but they shuffle of their own accord between information and flavor text. Did Creative Assembly really think we wanted to hover the cursor over something to get flavor text? And did it really think we wanted to wait for the flavor text and the actual tooltip to blink between themselves to get whichever of the two we were looking for?
Frankly, for a game this ambitious that plays at this scale, it's insulting to have it simply dumped in our laps with so little information. It's bad enough for guys like me who actually want to play. Consider how alienating it will be to someone who's not so sure. It's as if Creative Assembly got sick of making Empire: Total War, so it just shoved it across the table and said, "Here, you figure it out." There's no reason people should be puzzling out on Internet forums vital parts of the game like trade and diplomacy and the efficacy of various troop formations. There's no reason I should have to wonder what stats like prestige and command rating are for. There's no reason to include several paragraphs of historical backstory about types of bayonets, instead of an actual explanation of how these bayonets affect the gameplay. Instead of telling us how to play its game, Creative Assembly provides a useless history dump that we can get just as easily on Wikipedia.
Look how many of us there are? With numbers like these, what does it matter if we can't win a battle?
That's not to say Empire: Total War isn't playable. It is. You can have a great time putting together units, moving ships around, watching battles play out, and generally letting some narrative emerge about the rise of whatever nation you're playing. Here are stories about America, India, Great Britain, France, Prussia, Poland, Russia and more. It's a spectacular costume drama, with a huge cast of distinct players, each written with detail and panache. But I have to wonder what kind of strategy gamer is going to play through a story that progresses from plug to socket to ring bayonets without wondering what those things mean. Mere detail, you say? Who cares about bayonets? Okay -- on the other end of the spectrum, what kind of strategy gamer is going to manage an empire and all its armies without caring how trade works? It's an entire subsystem of the gameplay, and it's as undocumented as the difference between a ring and a socket bayonet. For shame, Creative Assembly.
King of fools
The wretched documentation is the earliest problem with Empire: Total War, but it is by no means its biggest or longest problem. Instead, once again, Creative Assembly has made a game that its AI cannot play. This is evident on numerous levels, from the way your own ships behave in a naval engagement, to the enemy armies standing helpless in a corner during battle, to the stupid choices other nations make on the strategic map. After mastering the system -- if you ever reach that point -- you're going to discover that you cannot lose because you're in a world without meaningful opponents.
It seems that many of the game's features simply aren't used by the AI. Perhaps the most glaring omission is that the AI can't move armies across water, which makes life as the British Empire particularly easy. The AI is incapable of organizing any sort of practical offensive, and will instead just raid towns ineffectually. Enemy armies shuffle around the map noncommittally, apparently unable to seize territory, which is the whole reason armies are in the game. Barring huge differences in army size, which is where the only real challenge lies, other nations are little more than speed bumps. On even the hardest difficulty, winning the grand campaign is pretty much a guaranteed outcome, often long before the clock has run out. Even though you've met your victory conditions, you still have to wait until the 19th century arrives to end the game, which means many more turns of watching the AI's ineffectual fumbling. Frankly, it's embarrassing. You find yourself wondering, "I?m spending 20 hours and this is how the history of the 18th century is going to play out?"
It's easy enough to say "wait for the patch" or "wait for modders," both of which have dramatically improved Creative Assembly's previous games. I can only presume that will be the case here, at which point I look forward to seeing how Empire: Total War turns out. But we review the games we're given, not the games we wish they'll become. And right now, Empire: Total War is blunderingly stupid, relying on a handful of the same tricks, lots of shuffling and scooching, and long bouts of inaction.
These problems might be understandable if this were Creative Assembly's first game. It might even make sense in a sort of "sophomore slump" situation. But the guys at Creative Assembly have been making these games for 10 years. They're not new to the concept. At this point in the history of a franchise, we should be seeing some polish, a better sense of presentation, and perhaps most importantly, a competent AI or at least a move to a multiplayer model. None of this is happening. Instead, we get more (undocumented) detail and sexier graphics in lieu of smarter AI. As Creative Assembly grandest design yet, Empire: Total War falls apart more spectacularly than ever.

- Associated Student Government
The Student Council has revised the Associated Student Government (ASG) governing documents to leverage engagement, streamline offerings and serve as the gateway to campus involvement and student access. To continue to operate as a student association, we had to take a comprehensive look at our processes, outcomes and programs to ensure we are maximizing our impact on student success and access, campus life and shared governance. Electronic copies of both the proposed and current Constitution & Bylaws can be accessed here:
Proposed Constitution & Bylaws (.pdf)
Received by Student Council on April 8, 2014 and updated on Tuesday, April 29.
Current Constitution & Bylaws (.pdf)
Amended on October 15, 2013 by Student Council
Before these documents are presented for adoption, the Student Council is scheduled to formally vote these governing documents at their regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, May 13 from 4:00-5:00 PM in the Student Center, Room 209.
Should you have any comments, questions or feedback about these proposed revisions, please contact Adam Johnson, Vice President of Student Council and committee chair of the Constitution & Bylaws Committee at email@example.com or 253-589-4521.
- Adam Johnson, Vice President of Student Council &Committee Chair
The Associated Student Government is made up entirely of students committed to serving other students. Our 19-member student staff represents students from a variety of technical programs and social demographics. The three branches of Student Government include:
Whether it's joining or starting a club, serving on a campus committee, or volunteering for ASG events, there are many opportunities for students to get involved with ASG. If you are looking for short-term ways to get involved please contact the ASG President at email@example.com or 253-589-5685.
Our ASG selection process for official Student Government positions begins every spring quarter. A hiring committee (predominately made of students, along with advisors from the Office of Student Programs) will review applications, conduct interviews, and hire students into the various 19 position titles based on strengths and ability to work as a team. This process, as opposed to an elections-based system, ensures that the best-qualified candidates are selected and are able to do the work required to represent the thousands of CPTC students.
Leadership positions are an 11-month commitment lasting from August until June. Not only is your service to students great for your resume and a fantastic way to develop skills, but it is also pays $10.43/hour for 12-19 hours per week.

With the Bugatti Galibier all but fading into the shadows, Bugatti has been left with nothing to show the auto market apart from different Veyron variants in the past year.
But not it appears that the French automaker is getting ready for their latest offering, the long-awaited successor to their mighty super car.
According to a report from AutoExpress, Bugatti is currently developing their new super car, and coming as a bit of a surprise to us is that the car could very well be a hybrid.
Bugatti's chief vehicle engineer, Jens Schulenburg, was quoted by the UK car magazine saying that while the Veyron successor will remain the company's flagship model, it will be packaged a little bit differently than its predecessor.
"The big challenge on the next car will be reducing weight," Schulenburg said. "We are looking at some incredible technologies, such as wheels made entirely from carbon fiber. Hybrids are definitely something we are looking at too."
While no official details have been released, we know how Bugatti takes these things seriously. So we expect nothing less than a model that can put even the supremo of all super cars, the Veyron Super Sport , in its place.

Richard Petty to move museum back home again
The King said Wednesday that it's time to take the Richard Petty Museum now located in Randleman and move it back to Level Cross.
"There's no history here," he said after a press conference promoting the races next month in Bristol. "All the history is back at the shop."
Musuem workers will begin moving the vast collection of trophies and cars and guns, along with the huge assortment of Lynda Petty's dolls and figurines, and take them one section at a time to the original site of Petty Enterprises on Branson Mill Road.
"This isn't a typical museum," he said. "It's not so much a racing museum as it is a Petty Family museum. Museums don't work anyway. Look at all those halls of fame, even the NASCAR deal in Charlotte. I tried to tell them that wouldn't work."
Petty said there's no timetable for the move.
"It's going to take a while to get all this stuff out of here," he said.

Gordon, Larson Race for a Good Cause
By: Jeff Wackerlin
Jeff Gordon and Kyle Larson helped raised money for Kick-It, a program of the Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation, on Wednesday with a go-kart event at Slideways Karting Center.
The inaugural Weld Racing's Tony Stewart Spectacular kart race saw fans, drivers and media members (68 total) donate to the Kick-It program, and get the chance to race against Gordon and Larson. Stewart was scheduled to race in the event but due to the injuries he suffered in a sprint car crash Monday night, Larson - this year's NASCAR Nationwide Series Rookie of the Year contender - filled in.
Seven heat races were held with Gordon and Larson driving in all of them. In the end, Larson took the Feature win over Gordon. He was presented with a trophy that will have his name etched into it and be displayed in the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame and Museum in Knoxville. The top two finishers in each heat race transferred to the A-Main and also will form an all-fan kickball team for Friday's game.
"I've been coming here since I was 11 or 12, so it's cool that they put on a big charity event like this," Larson said. "The race was a lot of fun. We had to start at the back for every race and there was lots of crashing. A great turnout for a great cause. Jeff and Tony both do a lot for charities."
Between the karting event and Friday's Tony Stewart Kick-It Cup kickball game, the program will have raised over $49,000 for pediatric cancer research.
"I've got to thank Tony Stewart," Gordon said. "I know he's not here and we're all bummed about what happened. He was instrumental in this whole program. Kendra Jacobs (co-host of Motor Racing Network's "Winged Nation") ... I also have to say 'Thank you' to her for the whole kickball tournament happening here in Knoxville and growing the way that has. We're very happy with the results we've seen already this year and the event hasn't even happened yet."
In 2012, the Jeff Gordon Children's Foundation partnered with Kick-It to host games across the country, including a number of World of Outlaws STP Series events like the Knoxville Nationals and the Gold Cup in Chico, Calif. The program was such a huge success last season and it began 2013 by raising $57,000 with a game in Warrnambool, Australia.
Gordon's trip to Knoxville was his second consecutive. Last year, the Sprint Car Hall of Fame had a tribute exhibit to Gordon that featured some of his old sprint cars and stock cars.
"After last year, I had so much fun I said, 'Alright, I'm going back but I'm not just going to go there, watch the races and take off,' " Gordon said. "We get to be here and be a part of this go-kart event, spend the whole night (at the track), hang out with some of the guys in the pits and then have a nice easy trip to Watkins Glen - hopefully."
Along with enjoying the racing Wednesday night at the 53rd Annual Knoxville Nationals, Gordon will also be keeping his eye on Shane Stewart, who will drive the Kick-It-sponsored sprint car.
Gordon raced in the Knoxville Nationals in 1989 and finished 23rd driving the No. 23 entry for McBride and Shoff Motorsports. Larson will be racing in the Nationals before going back and forth to Watkins Glen for Saturday's Nationwide Series race.

Thursday's post race press conf with the top 3 and tonight's pole sitter Joey Saldana. Good stuff.
Forget his rough season, Australian Brooke Tatnell pocketed a cool $10,000 and earned the 25th starting spot in the FVP Knoxville Nationals by winning Friday's SPEED SPORT World Challenge!
Kyle Larson raced Wed and missed the A Main, finishing P6 in the B. He flew back & forth to Watkins Glen and last night won the Hard Knox feature. Larson blasted into the lead on the second lap, taking the point from Chad Kemenah and leading the remainder of the 25-lap race on a night when 71 cars were attempting to earn the four spots in the Sat. feature. He will race Watkins Glen today and fly back to start 17th in tonite's Championship feature.
HEARTBREAK: Sammy Swindell faced heartbreak after leading his LCS in Friday's event from green to checkered, but started running out of fuel as he entered turn one on the final lap. Swindell fell to third, but remained in transfer spot as his car was completely out of gas. Swindell thought he was destined for the night's feature event, until he crossed the scales two pounds light, leading to a disqualification and a sixth-place starting position in the E-Main on Saturday night. Also struggling to qualify for the event was 2005 event winner Kraig Kinser, who will start 17th in the C-Main.
ALPHABET GAME: Most of the rest of the Outlaws have an easier Saturday night planned with the Craig Dollansky, Donny Schatz and Jason sides all starting the Last Chance Showdown while the rest of the series top drivers have secured positions in the feature event.

Unbelievable, Donny Schatz transferred from the B main to start 21st. No one has ever won the Nationals from outside the top 15. Schatz won for the 7th time in the last 8 years. Tony Stewart must be feeling good now.
Larson started 17th, raced up to 6th. Long day from Watkins Glen for him.

Forget smash and grab.
Moultrie Police are searching for a squeeze and squirm burglar, Monday night.
He broke into a dry cleaner by crawling through the business's overnight drop-off box.
Cops and the store owner are still trying to figure out how an averaged sized man could fit through a 10.5 in. x 15 in. drop-off box. Investigators tell me it's one of the most unusual break-ins they've ever seen.
"This is going to be your drop box. You can see the individual walkup then you'll see bits and pieces of him start showing up inside the store," said Cpl. Eric Fries.
And limb by limb, this crook made his way into the Modern Cleaners in Moultrie late last week.
Squeezing through the dry cleaner's overnight drop-off box that is a little wider than a ruler, with what seems to be little effort.
The thief didn't make if far into the business before tripping the store's motion alarm and then he leaves the same way he came, crawling back through the opening and getting away with a couple articles of clothing.
"I think this is my first involving something like this that they've actually gone through that. Talking with the store owner, I don't think they've ever had a problem like this as long as they've been open," said Cpl. Fries.
Police think the burglar is 5'5" to 5'8" and about 150 pounds and definitely determined.
"Desperation or opportunity, I guess, is what we can chalk it up to," said Cpl. Fries.
Now police need your help to find this man before he slithers into another business and strikes again.
The owner of the store didn't want to go on camera, but told me he is taking steps to make sure another thief can't fit through that drop-off box again.
That burglar was wearing a camouflage jacket and blue jeans.
If you have any idea who he is, you're asked to call Moultrie police.
