No lockdown for LSU after murders
School's text message alert system reportedly failed to alert all users
Resident Omer Soysal said attempted break-ins and holdups are common at the apartments, where nearly all the residents are international students.
"When it is dark, I tell my kids: 'Don't go outside,'" said Soysal, 37, a third-year Ph.D. candidate in computer science.
LSU officials sent a campus-wide alert out after midnight, more than an hour and a half after the shootings. Officials sent out e-mail and voicemail messages and posted a message on the university's Web site. But the text message alert did not reach all its recipients.
A problem with the text-message service provider was corrected by afternoon, according to a brief news release late Friday from the university.
Bhayroo said he signed up for the text-messaging system days after it was set up but never received any messages, before or after the shootings.
"There haven't been any," Bhayroo said. "Many of us took comfort that LSU implemented this system, so it's worrisome that the system doesn't work."
The company hired to run the text-messaging system hasn't determined how many people received the message, O'Keefe said. The news release said all current and future subscribers will now get text messages.
Associated Press writers Mary Foster and Doug Simpson contributed to this story.

iPhone converted into a heads-up GPS display
25th Sep 2009 | 12:01
New cycling helmet like something straight out of Blade Runner
A Japanese company is developing a prototype cycling helmet that uses the Apple iPhone to connect to a heads-up display, to show you where to go as you're biking around town.
Leaving aside questions of safety and fashion, this is perhaps one of the coolest iPhone mods we have yet seen.
The display is a Scalar T3-A which shows your iPhone mapping data in the corner of your eye.
Retractable HUD
The HUD is retractable and your iPhone is mounted on to the top of the helmet. No protection for the phone has yet been developed, so the guys testing out this prototype better hope they don't get run over in the rush hour traffic!
Note that the key word above is 'prototype' – no word as yet on whether or not such a device will ever see commercial release.
However, if it doesn't, then we plan to obtain the design plans from the developer and make one ourselves in the garage.
Don't believe us? Watch this.

Many thanks to Paul for that great intro. I've known "Jace Hall" for many years now, going back to my early days creating DirectX at Microsoft. I hired "Jace", then known as Jason and his team out of Edmark studios to create the first DirectX 1.0 game Sampler CD for me at Microsoft back in 1995. Hall of course went out and raised lots of venture capital and founded Monolith Studios which created all sorts of great games. It would be accurate to say that Jace Hall and his crew were some of the very first Windows game and DirectX developers. Jace went on to build one of the very first 3D game engines built from the ground up on Windows and the Direct3D API.
I started programming when I was 11 years old on the University of Alaska Honeywell mainframe (around the same time D&D was first published). My first personal computer was a commodore Vic-20 and the first game I wrote when I was 13 (in a log cabin in Alaska) was a Diablo style dungeon crawler called "Dungeoneer" featuring a one pixel hero, lines for walls, X's for traps and scary red pixel monsters. It should come as no surprise to anybody that I was a huge fan of Dungeon's and Dragon's when it first came out and played it when Gary Gygax was publishing it on little brown paper booklets.
I never graduated from high school or college for that matter so the story of how I ended up at Microsoft in charge of their media and gaming strategy and writing speeches for Bill Gates is always a crowd pleaser… suffice it to say that my parents were extremely stunned to discover that the VAST amount of time I wasted playing and making games actually did result in a great career. (Don't try this career path today kids, I was fortunate to be born in an era when computers were still "simple" to master)
I don't play many games myself anymore… frankly I've seen and played everything at this point so that most games these days just resemble reformulations of familiar game mechanics with better graphics. It would be the rare exceptions to my jaded view that I find worth trying (Minecraft). Personally I like making games much more than I like playing them. You want to feel an achievement rush? Try designing, building and shipping that game you just spent that last two weeks mastering… THAT is a real challenge.
As you may have surmised, I'm some kind of freakish home grown engineer/physicist who played a role in pioneering the gaming and media technology you find in every PC and XBOX game you play today. You can't watch a video, listen to music, print a document, surf the web from a PC or play a 3D game on an XBOX or PC that isn't enabled by technology myself and the early DirectX team created. Making games is hard, making a platform that ALL games and ALL game engines rely on was an undertaking of epic proportions that I will tell many stories about over the coming months.
Like Jace, I know many of the legendary figures of the game industry and worked with them before they were famous. I'm also intimately familiar with the power, politics and competition between the giant technology companies we all rely on. When you see companies like Apple, Microsoft and Google making major announcement or capricious product decisions I often know the real reasons behind those moves or have insider perspective you can't get from ordinary media morons who have never been deeply embroiled in the competitive machinations of giant technology companies.
I'm also intimately familiar with the Silicon Valley startup and Venture Capital culture. I've raised over 120 million dollars in VC for three of my own companies over the years and helped friends raise millions for theirs as well. WildTangent, which was my first startup and one of the most successful online game publishing platforms on the internet, hired many talented young kids with no game industry experience who subsequently founded successful online game companies of their own. I love seeing the next generation take up the reigns and start new game companies. If you're a kid who loves playing video games, consider learning to make them… at some point you're going to need a job and you could do worse than working on something you love for a living.
Of course I'm working on game technology to this day, which I will certainly be writing about as my new crazy designs start showing some signs of life. Stay tuned.

Jace has decided to take advantage of his co-hosting duties at the Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire celebration, by showing his new music video to the thousands of EverQuest players in attendance, much to the dismay of the crowd. That didn't stop one enthusiastic guest from doing something radical.
Jace finally meets his match, getting destroyed in a game of DC Universe Online. That doesn't stop him from rocking Vegas with Randy Pitchford from Gearbox, and venturing to Gaikai, where he learns about cloud gaming with company President Dave Perry.
Donald Faison and Jace discuss the best biblical ally to have in a fight, while Donald tries to pitch his newest show idea, he only needs a few bucks. Jace then goes to Vegas to talk Doom, Quake and some of the greatest first person shooters of all time with the guys at id Software.
The team at id Software reveals Exclusive RAGE footage, direct gameplay that only The Jace Hall Show can bring! Plus, Jace puts Sandeep Parikh, one of the stars of The Guild on the spot about his series, and just what exactly he and Todd Roy are trying to pull behind his back.

The Season Finale is so 1337 it just couldn't fit into a single episode. In part 1, we take a special trip to the home of Gears of War and Cliffy B himself in North Carolina, EPIC GAMES where Jace is looking to cash in on the "favor for a favor" that Cliffy promised him.
The Jace Hall Show closes it's 4th season with an Epic sized finale (is there any other way?) Showcased is Exclusive footage from the new Mortal Kombat game in all of its gory goodness, as well as perfectly inappropriate Duke Nukem: Forever footage in all of its "Glory".
The Season 5 debut features Jon Heder a.k.a. Napoleon Dynamite losing a video game battle to Jace, forcing Jace to debut his "Blame It On The Game" music video (starring Fab Morvan and John Davis) that made history. Plus, we sneak into Blizzard headquarters for Diablo 3 EXCLUSIVES.
Geek Goddess Felicia Day stops by to settle an old score and try to steal something back from Todd and Jace – somehow her underwear drawer gets in the way. Plus, the I Play WoW video that grossed over 13 million views is back in the new I Play WoW redux ENTIRELY using machinima.
The fight with Felicia Day continues, as Jace gets the opportunity of a lifetime to record an ACTUAL character in Diablo 3 – it didn't go as well as everyone had planned. Plus, Jace receives an ATARI automobile that you have to see to believe (something Todd can barely put up with).

Jace begins building what is undoubtedly the greatest ARCADE Machine in the history of space and time, while the much balleyhooed PlanetSide 2 trailer Todd was hired to direct debuts…to much jaw dropping. Plus, the fight continues as Thousand Pound fighter Amy Johnson kicks ass.
The Ultimate Arcade Machine is finally revealed, with pretty much every video game ever made! Get a look at Jace's new toy and its insane features! Plus, Todd auditions a film and TV star to take Jace's place as host of The Jace Hall Show, without Jace even knowing it.
Exclusive gameplay and all access behind the scenes look into Defiance, one of this year's most anticipated shooters. NBA champion and celebrity actor Rick Fox makes his move to replace Jace as host, while Producer Todd makes moves on Rick's hot sister.
Actor and NBA champion Rick Fox scores an exclusive look at the top secret Sims City game at EA. Jace then crashes Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski's celebrity packed wedding – the only problem is that none of Alison Haislip, Isaiah Mustafa or Randy Pitchford will let him in.
Jamie Lee Curtis and Christopher Guest are caught committing a MAJOR gamercode violation, while NBA star Rick Fox previews a never before seen SimCity demo. Plus, if you thought the annoying orange was annoying, wait until you see what Apple's biggest competitor has cooked up.

The Madman of Malibu
Twenty years ago, he was People's Sexiest Man Alive. Lately, he's become better known for...other things. But did you know that Nick Nolte is oddly proud of that mug shot?

Is this legal? Ice cream on top! WTF??!
Found this in Gelsons Bakery! Whoa!
I like #4. :)
Pancakes & bacon for 425 calories. Had help from the Denny's nutritional guide. Ignorance is not bliss! Ignorance = fat! :) brig
I'm at Red Lobster & impressed with how clear the calorie count is on every single item including dressings. Easy to make a good decision… or blatantly throw caution to the wind!
Hmm…. This cover story appeals to me.
A Fuller Figured Mila Kunis?!

Here's a solution to get my bikini body NOW!
I had the HUGE pleasure of working with (I assisted the hairstylist) Joanne Gair 17 years ago on the Nine Inch Nails video for A Perfect Drug. She is also the mastermind behind all the body painted swimsuits you probably have seen in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition, but I prefer this shot!! I love her lavender hair color too!
Bought a bikini. JUICY from Nordstrom's Rack so you know I got a killer deal! Oh, um no, it doesn't fit yet, but it will in another 30lbs. I figure instead of finding a bikini to fit that body, I'd work my body down into this bikini. :) I'm planning on Hawaii before X-mas! My next Cheeseburger Date will be this Sunday! It's gonna be epic!! Stay tuned… :O Plumply yours, brig
X-Large sizes spotted here!
& they are real X-large size, not "kid" XL. :) brig
