The Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday passed two measures designed to curb gun violence, and the bills are now headed to the Senate floor for a full vote. The committee postponed a vote on the most contentious measure — a proposed reinstatement of the assault weapons ban — because its sponsor, Senator Dianne Feinstein of California was not present at the committee's meeting.
The first measure, which would expand background checks to private gun sales, passed the committee 10 to 8, with no Republican on the committee voting for its passage. Another bill, offered by Senator Barbara Boxer of California, enjoyed more bipartisan support.
That measure renewed a grant program to help schools improve their security procedures though for a 10-year period, and increased the financing to $40 million per year from $30 million. It creates a Department of Justice and Department of Education task force to develop advisory school safety guidelines. It passed 14 to 4; the nays were all Republicans.
The committee approved a measure last week that would make the practice of illegally buying a gun for someone else — known as a straw purchase — a felony, and increase penalties for the crime. The vote was significant because it attracted the support of one Republican — Senator Charles E. Grassley of Iowa, the most senior Republican on the committee — signaling that the measure may well succeed in the full Senate later this spring.
These bills, varied in their approach, represent part of President Obama's gun safety agenda.
Gov. Cuomo wants to expand full-time pre-K education, and President Obama put support for early learning in his State of the Union address. They should both go to the library, according to advocates for using the public library as a key part of the learning process for toddlers to 4-year-olds.
What should the President do now?
Push to repeal the sequester (a reconciliation bill in the Senate would allow repeal with 51 votes, thereby putting pressure on House Republicans), and replace it with a "Build America's Future" Act that would close tax loopholes used by the wealthy, end corporate welfare, impose a small (1/10 of 1%) tax on financial transactions, and reduce the size of the military.
Half the revenues would be used for deficit reduction, the other half for investments in our future through education (from early-childhood through affordable higher ed), infrastructure, and basic R&D.
Also included in that bill — in order to make sure our future isn't jeopardized by another meltdown of Wall Street — would be a resurrection of Glass-Steagall and a limit on the size of the biggest banks.
I'd make clear to the American people that they made a choice in 2012 but that right-wing House Republicans have been blocking that choice, and the only way to implement that choice is for Congress to pass the Build America's Future Act.
If House Republicans still block it, I'd make 2014 a referendum on it and them, and do whatever I could to take back the House.
In short, the President must reframe the public debate around the future of the country and the investments we must make together in that future, rather than austerity economics. And focus on good jobs and broad-based prosperity rather than prosperity for a few and declining wages and insecurity for the many.

How do you use pesto?
- g
- geethanks Jun 13, 2002 09:00 PM
I received a jar of basil pesto as a gift, and am unfamiliar with how to use it, as it's not something in my regular cooking repertoire. Can someone educate me on how it's used and served? I can only guess--Do you dot it on a finished baked chicken? Marinate meats with it? Use it like a spread on toasted bread? I'm really not sure. Please provide ideas, or else it will be sitting unused in my fridge.
re: the rogue
I also add it to softened butter and re-chill, or make bite-sized biscuits with a little sour cream and pesto added, or add it to softened cream cheese for a delicious and fragrant spread on toasted french bread. Or if you're baking bread, just throw in a spoonful or two.
Or, with pasta as mentioned above, or anything involving tomatoes.
re: Betty
For a simple appetizer-line a small bowl with saran wrap-place a healthy amount of marscapone(or combine marscapone and cream cheese)at the bottom. Add a layer of pesto-more marscapone-then a layer of ground sundried tomatoes. repeat until you fill bowl. Cover with saran and chill. Invert onto plate and serve with crackers, baguette etc. Pretty and delicious.
re: J.Gorman
I do this also, I line it with cheesecloth because I like that texture - but I have started mixing some cheese with the pesto and some (not too much) cheese with the tomatoes also, so that the layers adhere together better. It stays neater on the serving tray if people can slice off pieces that don't fall apart.
re: sourpatch
Finito - apart from stirring it into rice salad, made with risotto rice. Shredded basil on top.
re: Caitlin Wheeler
Besides plain old pasta, sandwiches are my favorite use. I like to make a 3/4 spinach 1/4 basil pesto for ham or turkey or as an alternative to the tapenade in muffalettas - I like to make the sandwiches ahead of time, wrap them very tightly in plastic wrap and let them hang in the fridge for at least several hours before serving.
AND, dinner tomorrow is figured out.
Damn, zombie thread!
re: Cricket
There's a French soup called soupe au pistou or pesto soup which is a vegetable soup containing kidney beans, pasta carrots, new potatoes, green beans, sometimes zucchini and bacon. When the soup is made, stir a big spoonful of pesto into each serving, and enjoy!
I also like to make a chilled tomato basil soup when its hot (Just tomatoes and basil in the blender. Sometimes I add milk) and serve with a dollop of ricotta and pesto on top.
On pasta, but the way they do in Liguria: add young green beans (or haricots vert) and cubed potatoes to boiling water along with the pasta. Stir enough of the hot pasta water into a good amount of pesto to get the consistency of thick whipping cream. Drain beans, pasta, and potatoes all together and toss with the pesto, adding a dab of butter (delicious excess). The potatoes break apart and lend the most wonderful, rich texture to the "sauce". The beans should be soft. Top with romano or parmesan. An incredibly yummy, but rich, one-dish meal!
It is a fantastic addition to a well baked russet potato instead of butter or sour cream, because a little goes a long way. Actually, pesto tastes even better on baked potato than on pasta.
Just remember that pesto is meant to *very* lightly dress your pasta. It is very rich, with the olive oil, pine nuts and cheese in it, and intensely basil flavored, so it isn't meant to heavily dress the pasta like a tomato sauce. Just a little drizzle over simple squares of freshly made pasta is truly a work of art.
Aside from this use, you can add a dollop of pesto to anything in which you want a kick of strong basil flavor. I especially like to keep some on hand through the winter (frozen in cubes using ice cube trays, then popped into a ziploc bag), when fresh basil is hard to find and expensive. I add it to my tomato sauce for pasta, spread it over focaccia dough before adding other toppings, and add it to salad dressings.
If you enjoy this jar, consider making your own in the future. It is extremely easy to do using a blender or food processor. You'll be able to find the recipe in any Italian cookbook.
re: Terrie H.
And fresh made pesto is a million times better than any pesto from a jar...
There was a very informative thread last week about basil, and hence, pesto. I'll attach a link below:
re: Pat Hammond
Thanks everyone for all the suggestions. I tried mixing a couple teaspoonfuls with some spaghetti and it was delicious. Just how I like it--easy but seemingly special. Now I'll be looking to make it on a regular basis, and seeking out some more when my gift jar runs out.
The discussion in the link you mentioned implies that Genovese basil is the better kind for pesto. Fortunately, it's the kind my friend came back with from Italy, so I guess he knew what he was getting. As for where I'm located, just because I'm a New Yorker who grew up with Italians doesn't mean I know anything about pesto or how to cook! Now, on to trying it in the other ways mentioned.
Doesn't anyone else eat it straight from the container [g]?
A couple I didn't see mentioned: it's luscious just dolloped on top of a steak, and it makes great dip mixed with sour cream.
Finally, if you don't mind my asking, where do you live that pesto isn't ubiquitous? It hit the Bay Area about 25 years ago and quickly became a cliche of California cuisine. I remember one local food writer saying that she'd never heard of pesto until she was 20 but her 3 and 5 year old will eat anything if it has pesto on it -- and that was about 15 years ago.
re: Ruth Lafler
I make tons of it at the throughout the summer & freeze it in smaller containers -- probably have 40 in the freezer right now. Whenever I get a craving, I thaw one, then I eat it straight from the container, or spread a little on a cracker.
I also add to my home-made "gravy" (spaghetti sauce to youz non-Philadelphians) and to soups. You try it on other types of pasta, like gnocchi or ravioli, and I have even been known to use it with pierogis. Mix a tiny bit with mayo for a spread in a panini. Like Tom H., I put it on pizza. Try spreading it nice and thick on the crust, then topping with some ricotta anything else you want.
re: Tom Hilton
Our local joint makes a wood-fired pizza with pesto, 4 cheeses, sun-dried tomato and artichoke hearts. Hoo-eee, that's a mighty fine pie.
re: GG Mora
Agreed. Pesto pizza rocks.
re: GG Mora
Add some prosciutto to that combo and you have my favourite pizza!
You may think twice, but a dentist friend and I were making dinner one night and were using just the stuff I had in the fridge. We put the pesto in with an avocado. The flavors worked well together. We didn't take the time to name it, nor have I seen it anywhere else. It was good, though. Really.
re: jenniferfishwilson
This doesn't answer your question but it might be something to consider. Last year I bought a bunch of basil from the farmers market. I put it in a glass of water to keep it fresh. It rooted in the water and I had fresh basil all summer. Might have been a freak accident. It wasn't even in the sunlight, just a corner by the sink.
re: jenniferfishwilson
Snails are the destroyers of basil. We've carried on a losing battle with them for several years; if we plant a whole bunch, we get enough to use on pizza and such but never enough for pesto. To get even that yield, we've had to put copper tape around the basil patch, and spray occasionally (much as we hate to do it). If you live in the city, try Sloat Garden Center--they can be pretty helpful.
re: Tom Hilton
We had the same problem but solved it by growing our basil in several large pots. That way we can stagger the planting and have plenty all summer.
re: jenniferfishwilson
I bought it, but haven't used it yet. I'm planning to toss a cube or two into my pasta dough next time I make noodles. I've made my own basil ice cubes before, but I like the smaller size they offered.
Outside of tossing with pasta, which will always be my favorite, I also like it tossed with cooked white beans (Cannelini or Great Northern, etc.), spread on toasted French or Italian bread slices for Brushchetta, & also dabbed on top of grilled/seared dry-pack sea scallops. Sometimes I'll put a dab of pesto & a dab of Thai Sweet Chili Sauce on each scallop. Both delicious & very pretty.
re: Motosport
Yes - it does make a great sandwich spread - especially on Italian-theme sandwiches with good charcuterie, cheeses, &/or grilled veggies.
Blended w/ a little sour cream and lemon juice, garlic and salt, it makes a GREAT salad dressing. About 1/2 c. cream to 2 T. pesto; the rest to taste. Whirl in blender.
You can make a different dressing w/ pesto, fresh tomatoes, and red wine vinegar, olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste. Again, whirl in blender. Let this one stay a little chunky; like a semi-fine salsa. Dress dark greens with it.
Use the pesto by spreading it on a butterflied pork roast. Salt and pepper; spread w/ pesto and a good handful or two of the best Parm. or Reggiano that you can find; roll up; tie and grill until crusty on the outside and juicy, barely-pink on the inside. Serve w/ orzo and greens sauteed w/ garlic, or w/ a tomato-sauce dressed pasta with plenty of ground black pepper, and a salad.
It makes a delicious ice cream if you like that kind of thing.
Incorporate it into a fresh tomato tart, made w/ phyllo dough.
Incorporate it into a yeast bread. Would be great w/ sourdough.
Spread onto purchased foccacia; layer foccacia w/ deli meats and cheese. Bake until brown; cut into squares and serve.
It's wonderful on chicken, makes a marvelous marinade or can be used w/ goat cheese to stuff into a pocket or under the skin of a boneless chicken breast. The chicken self-marinates, and it's delicious.
Use it to make a compound butter. Use that to scramble eggs, or to fry leftover noodles in. Top w/ parmesan and serve, yum.
Almost any sandwich is great w/ a layer of pesto spread on the bread. It's great on Italian bread, for a fresh, thinly-sliced tomato sandwich. Or thick.. Either way. :)
Slice onions and tomatoes; salt and pepper them; drizzle w/ pesto and bake or grill. Same with corn on the cob; outstanding, and sprinkle that one w/ a bit of feta or dry Jack cheese for something you won't believe.
Good luck!
Defrost frozen puff pastry dough, spread with pesto, add a little mozarella or salami if you like, roll up jelly roll style, slice into pinwheels and bake for a great party snack!
Oh - another nice use is to toss some with boiled unpeeled sliced tiny new or fingerling potatoes. Good both warm or slightly chilled as a sort of potato salad.
And don't worry about running out of pesto. It's SO easy to make your own fresh pesto, plus the fact that it freezes well, means you never need to be without it. In addition, freshly made pesto is worlds away from commercial jarred flavor-wise.
I have an abundance of all kinds of basil and that thrills me but husband isn't the craziest about basil pesto. I do think it's an acquired taste.
it can be added to mayo adding flavor to say a sandwich.
it can be added to a chip dip
can be added to sour cream or mashed potatoes
stirred into scrambled eggs
added to cream cheese then spread on toasted English muffin
dolloped on top of pizza
re: iL Divo
I like it atop goat cheese on great crackers, on boiled yukon gold potatoes, inside a hamburger or rolled chicken breast (keeps it moist!) etc.
Lots of this has been mentioned before:
- Tossed with pasta and sprinkled with even more parmesan.
- Stirred into vegetable soup.
- Spread onto a sandwich with roasted vegetables and mozzarella.
- On top of pizza- in Torino I once had a "Pizza Genovese" with no tomato sauce but lots of pesto, green beans, boiled potatoes and cheese.
- A local restaurant serves all of their breakfast potatoes tossed with pesto too! Alongside scrambled eggs and sourdough bread... yum!
I like to take the top rind off a brie wheel and put the pesto on top and serve with crackers,
re: tzurriz
Love your name!

Humanitarian Spotlight: Disaster Preparedness Saves Lives as Cyclone Phailin Hits Eastern
October 14 - October 28, 2013
A woman returns to the village of Arjipalli on India's Bay of Bengal coast on October 13.
Millions of people in eastern India are in need of emergency relief and assistance in the aftermath of Cyclone Phailin, which made landfall from the Bay of Bengal on Saturday. The cyclone, with winds of more than 200 km per hour (124 mph) and tidal waves reaching 3 meters (9.8 ft) high, is the most powerful storm to hit the country's coast in 14 years. The storm ravaged tens of thousands of homes, destroyed much of the coast's farmland, and damaged transportation and communication infrastructure. 25 people have been reported dead.
Considering past storms of this strength have claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people, the relatively low death toll is considered to be a direct result of the extensive disaster preparedness measures undertaken by the country's disaster preparedness teams in advance of the storm. Mass evacuations were promptly initiated after the early warnings of meteorologists, and over 800,000 people were safely moved to shelters as the storm hurtled towards the coast, making it one of the biggest and most rapid evacuations in India's history.
Technological advances in meteorological forecasts greatly aided in the advance warning systems, allowing for early warning messages to begin five days before the storm's arrival and food rations and packaged drinking water to be pre-positioned in shelters. Alerts were issued widely across all media outlets and also sent out via SMS.
India is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world and many of its 1.2 billion people live in areas vulnerable to natural hazards such as floods, cyclones, droughts and earthquakes. The country's effective use of disaster preparedness in advance of Cyclone Phailin reveals the importance of proper disaster management plans, but not all of India is well prepared. More investment is needed in order to ensure country-wide preparedness to limit the disastrous effects of extreme weather.

Four aid workers were released today, 24 hours after their abduction in northern Syria. Three aid workers are still missing, after the group was kidnapped by gunmen following a four-day mission to deliver medical supplies.
Despite calls for unfettered humanitarian access by NGOs and the U.N., aid groups continue to face growing security concerns which delay aid delivery and hamper relief efforts. U.N. officials report that only 12 international aid groups are approved by the Syrian government and convoys of aid trucks struggle to meet increasing demand.
Predictions for the country's humanitarian situation are grim, with the U.N. expecting another 2 million Syrians to become refugees in 2014 and 2.25 million more to be displaced within the country. In recent weeks, the U.N. has been shifting its focus to prepare for the long term, using an integrated approach to strengthen the coping capacity of neighboring countries who are faced with a continuing influx of Syrian refugees.

- Quality of Opponent: Obviously nobody is going to be looking forward to playing the Bills so who the Raiders are playing matters, it is all about the glory.
- Rivalry: See quality of opponent, if there isn't bragging rights on the line the game is never as memorable.
- Location, Location, Location: While road games are fun, nothing beats a classic game at the Coliseum. Same goes for timing, which week the game is played also was considered.
- Chance of Victory: Just Win Baby.
With that being said on to the rankings (From 16 to 1)

Darci Marchese,
WASHINGTON - Six hundred million people lost power in India last week. Could it happen here?
"Blackouts are inevitable," says former astronaut and physicist Jay Apt, who is currently the director of Carnegie Mellon's Electricity Industry Center.
There will always be a severe enough hurricane, earthquake or wildfire to knock out power in large numbers, but Apt says the U.S. is already doing everything possible to improve, inspect and maintain the power grid.
"Running the grid is a little like being an airline pilot," he says. "There are years of boredom interspersed with moments of stark terror."
Despite big improvements since the 2003 Northeast blackout, which affected an estimated 45 million Americans, some critics say the U.S. isn't paying enough attention or funding to bolster the grid. Apt disagrees.
"There is no cost-effective benefit for making the grid invulnerable,"he says.
Other experts say the U.S. power grid is aging and stretched to capacity. Apt doesn't buy into that either.
He says there are older parts on the grid, but nothing that can't be addressed through inspections and routine maintenance.
Plus, the U.S. has an excess of power while demand is relatively flat. In India, the exact is true.
So what happens if supply increases?
Apt says there's "a ways to go before we bump up against resource limits even in places like Arizona and Texas," which has greater demand in the U.S.

Pigeons are clean, friendly and intelligent birds who have been given bad press because they are so visible in town centres, because like all living beings they poop and because of a silly line in a film in which one character described them as a "good omen" but another character described them as "rats with wings".
The popular press and the pest control business likes to describe them as "disease carrying birds", but pigeons don't carry any more diseases than other birds, animals or humans and they certainly don't spread disease among humans!.
Pigeons are resistant to Avian Flu so less of a risk than many of the birds that are more popular because of their rarity.
Diseases that can be transferred from animals to humans are referred to as "zoonotic" and are rare. You have probably caught a few illnesses from your fellow humans already, and will most probably catch many more from them during your lifetime. You would be extremely unlucky if you caught a diseasea pigeon, the odds of that happening are so high!
But don't just take my word for it: Here are some authoritative quotes about pigeons and disease which show that the real experts in the field all agree that there is no significant health risk to human beings from contact with pigeons:
The British Government Chief Veterinary Officer, when addressing the House of Lords in 2000 on the issue of pigeons in Trafalgar Square was asked if the large number of pigeons in the Square represented a health risk to human beings. The Chief Veterinary Officer told The House that in his opinion they did not represent a risk to human health.
Mike Everett, spokesman for the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds said, in The Big Issue Magazine, February 2001: "The whole 'rats with wings' thing is just emotive nonsense. There is no evidence to show that they (pigeons) spread disease."
Charlotte Donnelly, an American bird control expert told the Cincinnati Environment Advisory Council in her report to them: "The truth is that the vast majority of people are at little or no health risk from pigeons and probably have a greater chance of being struck by lightning than contracting a serious disease from pigeons."
Guy Hodge, Naturalist for the Humane Society of the United States: People worry that pigeons carry disease, but the danger is an exaggeration created by pest control companies looking for business.
Guy Merchant, Director of The Pigeon Control Advisory Service (PICAS) ( when talking about the transmission of disease by pigeons):
If we believed everything we read in the media about pigeons and the farcical propaganda distributed by the pest control industry we would ever leave our homes. The fact of the matter is that there is probably a greater risk to human health from contact with domestic pets such as cats, dogs and caged birds.
David Taylor BVMS FRCVS FZS:
In 50 years professional work as a veterinary surgeon I cannot recall one case of a zoonosis in a human that was related to pigeons. On the other hand I know of, and have seen, examples of human disease related to contact with dogs, cats, cattle, monkeys, sheep, camels, budgies, parrots, cockatoos, aquarium fish and even dolphins, on many occasions.
David A Palmer (B.V.Sc., M.R.C.V.S) in an article entitled 'Pigeon Lung Disease Fatality and Health Risk from Ferals':
Obviously, since all these Allergic Extrinsic Alveolitis disease syndromes rely on the involved person having a very specific allergy before any disease, involving respiratory distress and very unusually death, can possibly be seen, it really makes absolute nonsense for a popular daily newspaper to suggest that pigeons present a health hazard and presumably need eliminating for the well-being of the nation's health.
Dr. Cornelius Kiley, DVM, Canadian Food Inspection Agency
Pigeons do not get avian influenza and don't carry the virus.
Dr. Joel McCullough, Medical Director, Environmental Health, Chicago Department of Public Health.
Pigeons are not a public health hazard. Nobody in public health is losing any sleep over pigeons. -
In response to questions about the effects of pigeons on human health, in 1986 the Association of Pigeon Veterinarians issued a statement that concludes, "…to our knowledge, the raising, keeping, and the exercising of pigeons and doves represents no more of a health hazard than the keeping of other communal or domestic pets."
There are a few sensible precautions that you should take when handling any sick or injured animal: When your doctor or your dentist examines you he will take care to wash his hands afterwards...use this sensible hygienic approach when handling any animal, including pigeons. If the pigeon appears to have a cold, or is sneezing, then it would be wise to wear a barrier mask, for the same reasons that a doctor would use a surgical mask when examining a person with a respiratory infection.
By law, pigeons can be culled to "prevent the spread of disease". This is the reason that most authorities will rely on to kill pigeons and most people assume from that that pigeons spread disease among humans. This is not true: The legislation is primarily to protect the food and farming industries!
The spread of disease that they fear is one that spreads among commercial poultry : Newcastle Disease.
Pigeons actually have a high resistance to Newcastle Disease, but they are susceptible to a close cousin, referred to as the "pigeon variant", Pigeon Paramyxovirus 1 (PPMV1) . Humans are not at risk from either Newcastle Disease or PPMV but a virulent strain of PPMV1 can cause a mild form of Newcastle Disease in domestic poultry if the poultry food becomes contaminated with infected droppings. And even if only one chicken in a poultry farm became infected, this would require the mass slaughter of all the birds and their removal from the food chain...at a massive cost to the government which would have to compensate the farmers because the Animal Health Act 1981 states that compensation for poultry which are slaughtered for disease control purposes but which are not diseased shall be paid at the value immediately before slaughter.
Spill over infection from pigeons into commercial poultry flocks are uncommon. The last outbreak of Newcastle Disease caused by pigeon poultry food contaminated by pigeon poop in the UK (East Lothian)was in 2006.
Pigeons have also shown a high resistance to avian flu . The few cases that have been found in the UK so far were waterfowl. If there were an outbreak of avian influenza in the UK, pigeons would be the most unlikely bird to have a role in spreading the disease.

God, help us straighten out our financial problems. We haven't been good stewards of our money. Give us a new attitude and a new commitment to managing our finances wisely and responsibly. If our problems are beyond our repair, help us find a way, Your way, to meet our obligations. We place this need before You, knowing that You will guide us to a good solution. Amen.
Prayer For Finances
Tired of worrying about money? Trust God's plan for you. Ask to be blessed with His abundance and direction with these prayers for finances.
Dear Lord, help me to leave my financial worries in Your hands. Keep me mindful of my blessings no matter how much or little I may have. Grant me the patience and tolerance necessary to calm my spirit knowing that You have everything under control. In Jesus' name, Amen.
Lord God, because You are my helper, I will not be afraid—not of the thing I've committed to do that is too big for me; not of what people think of me; not of a lack of finances; not of anything.


text: GamesBeat EA's top geek Scott Cronce steers us through gaming's future technology (interview) July 28, 2013 8:00 AM Dean Takahashi 0 Above: Microsoft's Xbox One console.Image Credit: Microsoft GamesBeat: What are the tech things that would keep you up at night, the challenges that create risk for the company? Cronce: Luckily, after close to 25 years, I can still go to sleep. [laughs] But I'd say the larger issues include trying to deal with much more complicated online systems than we've dealt with in the past. We've always liked the idea where the server side of the game has foreknowledge about what's happening in the game, so we can maximize the number of players in it and make it into a living world. Most of the people in the game industry have done that by buying bigger and faster hardware and doing it all locally. The new challenge is that we have to now break up those problems into smaller pieces. It's similar to what you saw when we had to move to multiple cores in the PS3 and Xbox 360 days. We're now having to figure out how to do that with servers, and it's slightly different. How do you break your logic of your game, which is normally running on heavy hardware in a backend server, into a bunch of smaller virtual components that are all running on cloud systems like Amazon? GamesBeat: Is everybody going that way? Microsoft is the one that's talked about cloud processing. Cronce: Very few people, I think, are heavily investing in it right now. It's something that we see as a challenge that we have to solve, in two ways. We don't want to run our own server hardware, but we have to do so today. There isn't anything out there that's approaching the type of low latency that our gamers require. But we think that the horizon is changing. We're in a model where we're not going to be able to buy the hardware necessary to have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people playing at the same time. That's on one side. The other side is the mobile, free-to-play market. You don't want to build a server system where you're spending a whole bunch of money supporting all the people who aren't actually paying for the game. It's both a cost issue and a technology issue when you're thinking about free-to-play. GamesBeat: The problems that SimCity had, did they educate you guys in some way about where things are going? Cronce: We always learn from our mistakes. Same thing with The Simpsons: Tapped Out when it originally came out. What that says is that we, as an industry creating games, haven't mastered that kind of broad server-side scalability. You see that from everybody. Almost always, when a large online game comes out, there are troubles in the first week or so. GamesBeat: That was hard for me to understand from the outside. We hear all the rhetoric, at least, about things like Amazon Web Services, which was built to alleviate these kinds of crushes. You can go get some computing power from them if there's a peak in demand that your own servers can't handle. Cronce: That's right. But what happens is that sometimes, there's nothing like a good live demo to let you know when a portion of the architecture isn't scalable. If you have anything that's not scalable, then it doesn't matter how many VMs you spin up. You're not going to be able to solve the problem. It's the same thing you see on websites. Somebody says you're going to build a new fancy car this way, you get a few million hits, and boom, the website goes down. One piece that nobody thought about turns out to be the core. It's not just a games problem. But it is unique to games because we actually have to have a different kind of realtime low-latency backend, and it has to be scalable. That's the biggest challenge virtual machines that we all face, as well as adding features into those cloud pieces. You want to have an entire living world. We have to do this in a way that's easy to scale, and also not too expensive per user, especially in a free-to-play system. We have to think about compute power per user. How much is it going to cost to deploy a game where some fraction of the audience will pay you money? Above: Scott CronceImage Credit: Dean Takahashi GamesBeat: Does anything interest you here at Siggraph that relates to games, that's coming from another part of the industry? People always make that comparison about how the gamemakers have to reinvent their camera every few years or so. Things have been stable in the movie industry so long that it enables a more sophisticated level of creation. It isn't held back by having to learn new technology. Cronce: It's true that the output for movies is at a much slower cadence. But I think the bigger thing is that whatever we end up doing has to be in real-time. In the movies, because of the amount of time they have to go back and redo things, you could hand-touch every single frame if you needed to and make it look perfect. We have to ship a game that runs in real-time, all the time. That's a much bigger difference. Then it's an added complexity that our devices change on a regular basis. GamesBeat: Ubisoft opened up a motion-pictures division. It seems to suggest that the technologies could be converging. Cronce: With the tools we've had in gen 3, definitely. You see a lot of the same artists move back and forth between movies and games. The animation tools that they use are identical. What happens is that a lot of the base models are pretty much the same. Ours, by the time we're running them in-game, are much lower in resolution, with fewer polygons, but the tools we use at that base level are the same. It's just that the pipelines for getting those models into a movie and getting them into a game are different. GamesBeat: There are still some things coming out of left field for games, like the Oculus Rift. It's gotten everyone excited about virtual reality again. Is that something you guys look at as well? Cronce: Definitely. The first game we did with VR was with a VX-1 helmet. We did a couple of flight sims with it. The difference back then is that they were so expensive. In the '90s you had a $700 or $800 helmet with a 320 resolution. It wasn't very compelling. What we're seeing now is the hope that these companies will come out with a compelling VR system that's relatively inexpensive and high-resolution. Right now we don't know whether it will be like the other dozen or so that have come in the past, or whether it'll actually be a breakthrough that people want to use. Above: Oculus RiftImage Credit: Dean Takahashi GamesBeat: It seems like your due diligence on tech must be busier than ever, with all kinds of things coming out now. You have GameStick, Ouya, Oculus Rift, lots of Android things. Cronce: Every day something new pops up. It's more around what you decide not to support. We see even more of these Android consoles in Asia than what we see in the news in the U.S. The question is, which one will actually spend the money to become a platform? That's more than just commodity hardware and software. It means building the platform from a developer point of view, a consumer point of view, and a marketing point of view. It's very exciting. Some of these are exciting just for developers to play around with, even if they don't believe they'll become the next big thing. View All 1 2 3 Mobile developer or publisher?

The 2014 Las Vegas NBA Summer League has not gone well for the Atlanta Hawks, and that is putting it nicely.
Although it is just a series of exhibitions for young NBA players and fringe roster guys, it would benice to see some semblance of success.
Coming into Tuesday's game against the Portland Trail Blazers, the Hawks were 0-2 in Summer League action, but had competed well in their last game against the D-League Select Team on Monday.
However, they certainly didn't build off of the positives from last game as they got crushed by Portland 91-76.
Defensively, Atlanta was a mess. They let C.J. McCollum, Will Barton, and Thomas Robinson run wild on the day. McCollum finished with 28 points, and was able to capitalize on a number of wide open three-point attempts. Those guys are actual NBA rotation players, so it was no surprise, but it would have been nice to see a better effort on that end of the court.
The Hawks were never really in this one, as Portland was on fire from the opening tip.
Mike Muscala continued his strong Summer League play, finishing with 13 points and 7 rebounds, and was trying the hardest on the defensive side of the ball. He also kept up his good ball movement, which shows that passing is one of the key components to the Hawks' game plan.
Dennis Schröder wasn't quite as on fire as he was in Sunday's loss, but he did have a solid game. The second-year point guard finished with 16 points and four assists, but still had a hard time taking care of the ball with six turnovers.
First-round draft pick Adreian Payne seemed to have slowed his pace down a bit and scored 13 points to go along with seven rebounds. He has yet to have an efficient shooting outing yet, as he shot just 3-of-10 from the field.
John Jenkins only played in the first half, and did not return due to back issues. The team has not released any info on his status, but he may be out for the remainder of the games in Las Vegas if it is even remotely serious.
The Hawks will now begin tournament play, where they hope to finally get in the win column. They will face the Golden State Warriors on Thursday at 6:00 p.m. (EST) on NBA TV.
The Warriors, who won the inaugural NBA Summer League Championship in 2013, are seeded 11th and will face the 22nd-seeded Hawks in the first step in defending their title.
Each team in the tournament will compete in at least two more contests in Las Vegas. It will be a minimum of one game in the single elimination tournament and then either compete in a consolation game or in the next round in the championship bracket.
Hopefully the Hawks can earn their first win by knocking off the defending champs!
