Skip to comments.Teamsters endorses Obama over 'vulture capitalist' Romney
Posted on 05/07/2012 12:17:02 PM PDT by ColdOne
The International Brotherhood of Teamsters endorsed President Obama Monday, calling his likely Republican opponent Mitt Romney a "vulture capitalist" whose election would amount to a "fox guarding the henhouse."
"He represents everything that is wrong with our financial system. He made his money as CEO of Bain Capital by destroying U.S. businesses, sending good-paying American jobs overseas and filling his pockets with millions while putting workers out on the street," Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa said in a release.
The organization's endorsement comes with a promise to put "boots on the ground" in all fifty states.
"Working families know who is fighting for their rights, and it sure isnt Mitt Romney," said Teamsters general secretary-treasurer Ken Hall in a statement. "President Obama has worked hard to make sure that Wall Street is held responsible for ruining our economy, enacting the most sweeping financial reform package since the Great Depression."
While Obama's relationship with labor hasn't always been easy given the failure of union-backed legislation like 'card-check' during his first term, the president praised the union as a voice for social justice.

Have the Teamsters ever endorsed a Republican?
They're the only ones who think that about Romney.
Definitely went for Reagan in 80.
Then Ubama must not be Carter II after all.
Reagan successfully cultivated a lot of union support.
He would be totally unacceptable by FR standards today.
all you republicans who are in non-right to work states should pay real close attention to where your union dues are going and demand that your union return them to you. You do have that right but thet'll never tell you so !!
There's probably a distinction between the union management's endorsement of Obama, and that which the rank and file believes, in this election perhaps more than any other.
I know truck drivers, I know assembly line workers who belong to the teamsters, and the ones I know will not vote for Obama.
Reagan built a great conservative coalition. Life, Liberty, Small Government, Strong Defense! THAT seems to be impossible today.
Big surprise the Teamsters endorse Obama./
They endorsed Nixon, I believe in 72
Hasten to add, Patriotic Americans of every stripe, including blue collar workers.
all you republicans who are in non-right to work states should pay real close attention to where your union dues are going and demand that your union return them to you. You do have that right but they'll never tell you so !!
Proud, hardworking, patriotic Americans of every stripe, including blue collar workers!!
They endorsed Nixon in 72, and would you believe it, Nixon let Hoffa out of prison. Must of been a coincidence.
is Politico trying to win the Pulitzer for "Most Cliches in a News Story"?
Yup. It's a "water makes you wet" story from O-litico.
"fox guarding the henhouse." ?? At least there will be a henhouse when Barry goes. It'll probably be a much larger, natural gas fed henhouse.
What a surprise! The headline might as well read: Communists Endorse Communist. Well, duh.
If you vote for a communist, what does that make you?
Pray for America
George Meany, head of the AFL-CIO at the time, was asked why he didn't run for president. His curt response was "I don't want to step down."
Of course, as a supply chain manager, I have the right to endorse trucking companies which are not affiliated with the Teamsters or any other left-wing union by giving them my business. And I do.
Before the commie FBI snitch Ron Carey, the teamsters were always conservative
then the DOJ took them over and inserted the commies from Rich Trumpka's mineworkers union
James P. Hoffa and the teamsters union are currently a totally owned subsidiary of the DOJ.
Since the teamsters signed off on the Consent Decree the DOJ effectively runs the union under a federal trusteeship
Hoffa Lite doesn't sneeze without an OK from DOJ

Teamsters could be the poster children for most anti-union campaigns.
I was at a hotel bar with a liberal, discussing the typical left/right things, while at a large table next to us were a bunch of Commie Teamsters bitching about how Bush only cared about oil. As typical with union scum, they could not complete a sentence with the F word.
I leaned over to my liberal debating partner and asked, do these morons even know what their trucks use for fuel? He had to admit he was embarrassed that people he would normally support were so totally ignorant.
And rightfully so. I proudly cast my first vote for Nixon. Little did I (or the rest of us) know he would turn out to be one of the top five most liberal presidents of the 20th century.
Don't understand your premise.
Just as all the candidates for the R nomination were shredded on FR this season, Reagan would have been also - jmho.
Endorsed by the Teamsters? OMG we can't vote for him, no way.

The complexity of perfect zero-knowledge
Zero-knowledge proof
In cryptography, a zero-knowledge proof or zero-knowledge protocol is an interactive method for one party to prove to another that a (usually mathematical) statement is true, without revealing anything other than the veracity of the statement.
more from Wikipedia
Complement (complexity)
In computational complexity theory, the complement of a decision problem is the decision problem resulting from reversing the yes and no answers. Equivalently, if we define decision problems as sets of finite strings, then the complement of this set over some fixed domain is its complement problem. For example, one important problem is whether a number is a prime number. Its complement is to determine whether a number is a composite number (a number which is not prime).
more from Wikipedia
Polynomial hierarchy
In computational complexity theory, the polynomial hierarchy is a hierarchy of complexity classes that generalize the classes P, NP and co-NP to oracle machines. It is a resource-bounded counterpart to the arithmetical hierarchy and analytical hierarchy from mathematical logic.
more from Wikipedia
Interactive proof system
In computational complexity theory, an interactive proof system is an abstract machine that models computation as the exchange of messages between two parties. The parties, the verifier and the prover, interact by exchanging messages in order to ascertain whether a given string belongs to a language or not. The prover is all-powerful and possesses unlimited computational resources, but cannot be trusted, while the verifier has bounded computation power.
more from Wikipedia
Perfect graph
In graph theory, a perfect graph (or a Berge graph) is a graph in which the chromatic number of every induced subgraph equals the size of the largest clique of that subgraph. In any graph, the clique number provides a lower bound for the chromatic number, as all vertices in a clique must be assigned distinct colors in any proper coloring. The perfect graphs are those for which this lower bound is tight, not just in the graph itself but in all of its induced subgraphs.
more from Wikipedia
In computational complexity theory, the complexity class NP-complete (abbreviated NP-C or NPC) is a class of decision problems. A decision problem L is NP-complete if it is in the set of NP problems so that any given solution to the decision problem can be verified in polynomial time, and also in the set of NP-hard problems so that any NP problem can be converted into L by a transformation of the inputs in polynomial time.
more from Wikipedia
Cryptographic protocol
A security protocol (cryptographic protocol or encryption protocol) is an abstract or concrete protocol that performs a security-related function and applies cryptographic methods. A protocol describes how the algorithms should be used. A sufficiently detailed protocol includes details about data structures and representations, at which point it can be used to implement multiple, interoperable versions of a program.
more from Wikipedia
Information theory
Information theory is a branch of applied mathematics and electrical engineering involving the quantification of information. Information theory was developed by Claude E. Shannon to find fundamental limits on signal processing operations such as compressing data and on reliably storing and communicating data.

could somebody help me about how piconects and scatternet networks are created on bluetooth? are them created by the bluetooth stack protocol following some kind of internal algorithm, or is something the user has to code on an application level?
If i want to create a scatternet network with android devices, how do you think would be the best strategy to create the maximum number of piconets inside the same scatternet, so i can achieve a maximum of 7 slaves devices per piconet, and like this way i dont have to manage parked devices?
thank you very much in advance

Paradise with Awesome Staff!
As we walked into the house, I was completely speechless, the pictures do not do it justice! The incredible views are intoxicating! Rooms are spacious and very comfortable, pool was perfect, but our favorite thing was the kind and very competent staff! Carlos and crew were there everyday to insure that we were happy and well fed! Jimmy was an amazing bartender and our kids loved him!!! Would definitely return to Villa Preciosa and this area of Costa Rica. Carlos was also very helpful in setting up some of our excursions. I cannot say enough about this fabulous vacation!
Paradise at Villa Preciosa
We were looking for an ideal place to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary with our 6 children & their spouses. We found Villa Preciosa online and the pictures were stunning - the great news is we found everything just as described and better. There was a view from every room including the 7 bedrooms. We kept our drapes open to enjoy the view of the infinity pool & ocean as we went to sleep and awakened in the morning. Each bedroom was air conditioned. The villa is kept in pristine condition including the pool which we thoroughly enjoyed as the weather became very warm midday. The staff was incredible and we enjoyed beautifully prepared meals three times a day. Cold water decanters & fruit juices were available all day long. The owner, Carlos, helped us secure reservations for zip lining & water rafting. He also took some of our group out on his boat for snorkeling. Would we recommend Villa Preciosa to our friends & relatives - ABSOLUTELY! We had a trip to remember for a life time - many memories for years to come. Brent & Carol
A most gorgeous home with phenomenal views
Carlos is a fantastic host with a gracious and helpful staff. We had a wonderful stay with friends, ate delicious food prepared by the house's chef, and drank equally delicious fruit cocktails prepared by Jimmy, a young man with great talents. The house is convenient to a semi private beach with a cool little beach bar, and an easy car ride to town for shopping or nights out. The bedrooms are luxurious and private, and a float in the infinity pool with its amazing water view was the way we ended most every day. Can't recommend it highly enough.
Perfect paradise in every way imaginable !
We had a group of 22 people staying at the Villa (children as well as adults) and from the moment we arrived until the time we departed it was an amazing experience! Carlos and his staff greeted us warmly and took away our cares as easily as they did our vast amounts of luggage! We were all immediately able to relax and unwind by the pool as well as enjoy a timely traditional snack.
The week was amazing and the service impeccable from early morning into the evening. Any and all requests from food choices to laundry were accommodated without hesitation so you really were able to leave your worries behind and just concentrate on yourself and your family. The food was delicious! The rooms were very large and always kept clean as were all of the bathrooms. The staff did such a great job cleaning everything that we all felt like royalty!
Overall we would all recommend this resort without hesitation. If you really want to get away from it all to relax and spend some quality time with family or friends this was the place to do it.
Thank you to Carlos and the Villa Preciosa staff for a truly amazing vacation!
Exceptional Family Experience
Once we took in the exceptional view and the infinity pool overlooking the bay of Playa Ocotal, we were impressed with the friendliness and attentiveness of Carlos and his staff. The layout of the property was perfect for our group of 14...3 families. All rooms surrounded the pool with en suite baths...very spacious and nicely decorated. The 4 master suites with King beds had views of the bay. The property was clean and well maintained. We even felt we could have easily included another family in comfort. Carlos was very helpful in designing our trip with excursions. Our downtime at the villa was relaxing and enjoyable. Jimmy always made sure we had drink and snacks...everybody loved Jimmy. We enjoyed our regular meals and Anna was happy to accommodate any special food requests (variations from the menu) and our crazy schedule. The meals were amazing with variety and local flavor. We felt like part of the family with Carlos and his staff. The location of the villa was also perfect. There was a 1 mile excercise walk or an easy few minute drive down the hill to the beach. The villa is 5-10 min from a quaint town which gave us access to a wonderful dive shop, Crossfit gym, grocery stores and all of our excursions. Most tours were happy to pick us up at the villa. We all were sad to leave, well fed, well cared for and satisfied in experiencing beautiful Costa Rica.
The Most Amazing Vacation Ever!
We planned our vacation to Costa Rica over a year before our arrival. We viewed the pictures of The Villa Preciosa, as well as the reviews of others that vacationed at the Villa. Quite frankly the pictures and reviews do not do the The Villa Preciosa Justice.
The location high above a picturesque harbour with beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean served to calm and relax our entire group of 14(once we over came the awe of what we were seeing). The layout of the Villa was perfect, each room was large and accomadating and had its own bathroom and shower. In addition, everyone room had a stunning view of the Pacific. Whether relaxing on the second floor balcony or the first floor sitting area or swimming in the deep blue infinity pool that looks like an extension of the ocean. There is no doubt that the star of this show is the amazing views. The Villa was beautiful, and well maintained. Carlos, the owner welcomed us from the Airport with a genuine smile, handshake, and tray full of tasty adult beverages. His staff arrived early every morning to began preparing for the day. Jimmy acted as our bartender and server, and answered questions about the country, the local area, or anything we could think to ask. Ana the chef and Bianca her assistant prepared some of the best food I have ever had for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had the staff move the dinning table from inside to outside so that we could soak up all the tropical views and breezes we could. Housekeepers cleaned the Villa daily, and will even wash your clothes as needed. The area surrounding the Villa is full wild life and it was wonderful to sit on the deck below the Villa to see Monkeys, birds, squirrels, just to name a few. We had numerous excursions such as zip lining, mud bath, steam bath, massages, white water rafting, snorkeling, and sunset cruise, as well as a half day fishing. In addition to renting a jet ski and taking our families to a near by private beach. The memories made and the fun our family experienced will stay with us forever. We have Carlos and the staff of The Villa Preciosa to thank for that. This was our first non commercial vacation, and by far our best. Thank you Carlos for all your hard work.
Activity and Interests
Our outdoor activities are limitless! There is something for everyone: This is one of the best places worldwide for deep sea fishing. Scuba diving excursions depart from Ocotal Beach just below the Villa, and there are two championship Golf courses just a short drive away. Also you can enjoy canopy tours, white water rafting, jet sky rides, ATV tours, horseback riding, volcano tours, sunset cruises choose among other exciting options with our tour guide. Moreover, you can just relax at the Villa… we can set you up an appointment with our massage therapist or have a manicure and pedicure treat.

Tip:Secure RDS (Remote Desktop Services) Connections with SSL
By default, RD Session Host sessions use native RDP encryption. However, RDP does not provide authentication to verify the identity of an RD Session Host server. You can enhance the security of RD Session Host sessions by using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.0) for server authentication and to encrypt RD Session Host communications. The RD Session Host server and the client computer must be correctly configured for TLS to provide enhanced security.
The three available security layers are:
A certificate is needed to authenticate an RD Session Host server when SSL (TLS 1.0) is used to secure communication between a client and an RD Session Host server during RDP connections. You can select a certificate that you have already installed on the RD Session Host server, or you can use the default self-signed certificate. You can enable SSL for Remote Desktop connections using the RDP-Tcp Properties dialog box, which is accessed from the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration snap-in.
For Remote Desktop connections, data encryption protects data by encrypting it on the communications link between the client and the server. Encryption protects against the risk of interception of the client/server communication.
By default, Remote Desktop connections are encrypted at the highest level of security available (128-bit). However, some older versions of the Remote Desktop Connection client application do not support this high level of encryption. If a high level of encryption is needed to support legacy clients, the encryption level of the connection can be configured to send and receive data at the highest encryption level supported by the client. There are four levels of encryption available:
The RDP-Tcp Properties dialog box, which is accessed from the Remote Desktop Session Host Configuration snap-in, allows you to configure the encryption level.
RD Session Host authentication and encryption settings can also be configured by applying the following Group Policy settings:
These Group Policy settings are located in the following container:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Remote Desktop Services\Remote Desktop Session Host\Security
FIPS can be specified as the encryption level by applying the System Cryptography: Use FIPS Compliant Algorithms For Encryption, Hashing And Signing Group Policy setting located in the following container:
Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options

Amazon.com Review
Reinhart begins his inquiry into pizza with his baseline palate memory for what a great pizza should be. As a teenager he had worked in a pizzeria, Mama's, and instinctively knew this pie to be the best. Returning as an adult years later, he discovered otherwise. Had he changed, or had the pizza changed? Both, it happened, were true.
So what is the nature of perfection, and where do you go to find it? In the case of Peter Reinhart, this journey includes travels through Italy and across the US. This is Part One of the book, called The Hunt. It's not the most enlivening travel writing, which would have helped elevate the insights into the nature of great pizza and the people who make it happen. But it's only a third of the entire package. The best is yet to come. In Part Two: The Recipes, Reinhart comes entirely into his own. Here is the master at work. Chapters include "The Family of Doughs", "Sauces and Specialty Toppings," and "The Pizzas." Reinhart gives you the building blocks, no matter what your kitchen, tools, and oven might be like. And then he unfolds the roadmap--pizzas from the strictly classical to the strictly whimsical.
Work diligently with American Pie and in time you will be able to call yourself, without hesitation or rising color, pizzaiolo and focacciaiolo. --Schuyler Ingle
From the Publisher
Includes in-depth pizza-making techniques; more than 40 classic pizza recipes; and an engaging narrative of Reinharts pizza hunts with such food luminaries as Rick Bayless, Jeffrey Steingarten, and Joanne Weir.
Peter Reinharts last book, THE BREAD BAKERS APPRENTICE, was named Cookbook of the Year by both the James Beard Foundation and the International Association of Culinary Professionals.

The book has two sections. The first is a fascinating account of all Reinhart went through to find what he regards as the perfect pizza. This includes details of a trip to Italy as well as places within the United States where he found excellent pizza on his pilgrimage. The second, larger section deals with the recipes (formulas) he has created, and this section is broken down further into three sections -- dough, toppings and sauces, and finally complete pizzas.
Do yourself a favor -- do not skip the first section and plow right into the recipes and formulas. While you may be more interested in getting down to business, you learn a tremendous amount about what the author regards as a great pizza, and more importantly, you learn just how serious the author was when he set out to find what he calls the perfect pizza. As is typical of his other works, Reinhart writes with unwavering passion, pouring everything he's got into the writing. Finally, many of the pizzas he mentions in the first section are recreated in recipe form in the second section, and it's really fascinating to recreate one of the pies in your own kitchen.
The dough section is a collection of approximately a dozen excellent formulas for crust. Each recipe sticks to Reinhart's trademark method -- slow rise, usually an overnight rising.Read more ›
Comparisons against THE ART are difficult for me to avoid. DeAngelis basically instructs on making one style of pizza - what Reinhart would call a New York style or Americana. Reinhart teaches you to make Napoletana pizza, New York style pizza, Americana pizza, Roman style (thin crust) pizza, grilled pizza (Yes! It's what it sounds like!), Chicago deep dish pizza and a few breads that you may not consider pizza at all, like pita, carta di musica and focaccia. DeAngelis INSISTS that you need to use high-gluten flour (good luck finding it locally) and complains of the inadequacy of the home oven. Reinhart uses (mostly) available ingredients and writes the book knowing that it's going to be used within the limitations of a home kitchen.
But until recently, I've had problems with the recipes. I've tried the Napoletana crust, the Americana crust, the focaccia, the carta di musica, and the prebaked crusts. Despite following his recipes (nearly) to a "T," the dough just did not act as described in the book. It was not as elastic as described, and could tear apart from its own weight. Despite this, if I could get the dough formed into a crust at all, the results were still pretty good! There are two pages on "Ten Tips for Making Pizza Dough." These may be the two most valuable pages in the book, and should be expanded and not relegated to the reduced type size. The recipes call for "instant yeast.Read more ›
The first half of the book is a quest to find the best American pizza, after an incident in Reinhart's home town of Philadelphia when he has a pie from a fondly remembered local restaurant, and it simply does not come up to his fond memories of the pizza of days gone by. As one would expect, the quest begins by a visit to sample the pizzas of Italy in Genoa, Florence, Rome, and Naples, the legendary home of the pizza archetype.
Upon returning home, the author and his wife visit famous pizza locations in New York City, New Haven, San Francisco, Los Angles, Chicago, and Phoenix. In case the Food Network has not caught onto this fact yet, some of the very best pizza is made at Pizzeria Bianco by Chris Bianco, a James Beard Best Chef of the Southwest award winner.
The author is not so gauche as to make a pronouncement on the best pizza in the country, but comes to the conclusion that a local `best' is the conjunction of a perception of what the best pizza should be and a very good pizzaioli who can produce a pie to meet those expectations. One of the most difficult problems for maintaining a good pizza in the U.S. is keeping a dedicated pizzaioli at work at that position and not to treat the job as just another station for a chef to master and move on. Even food meccas like Chez Panisse have problems keeping up the quality of their crusts in the face of staff rotation.Read more ›

Food & Drink
With the warm weather encouraging outdoor activity, it is a good time to think about how much and what types of fluid we are drinking.
To function properly, the human body requires water. Adequate hydration helps to regulate body temperature, lubricate joints, moisten tissues, protect body organs and tissues, flush out waste products, prevent constipation and dissolve nutrients (for absorption).
The average person needs between tow and three litres of water a day, with about one- third coming from food.
Drinks other than water count, such as tea and coffee, but drinks containing alcohol don't. The exact amount we need depends on the level of activity, temperature, humidity and other factors.
The easiest way to find out if you are having enough fluid is to check the colour and volume of your urine. Except for first thing in the morning, urine should be almost clear and there should be plenty of it. Some vitamin supplements can turn urine quite orange. In this case, take a smaller dose, so that not so much goes down the toilet.
Generally, the thirst mechanism keeps our fluid levels relatively stable, but thirst can let you down during physical activity. Aim to drink at least two cups of fluid before exercise. During exercise, drink at a rate that is practical and comfortable. After exercise, replace fluid as soon as possible, as dehydration will affect your recovery. Take fluids regularly until your urine is clear.
When exercising for less than 60 minutes, plain water is fine. For longer periods, a sports drink with added glucose and electrolytes (sodium and potassium) may be beneficial.
Look for one that contains 4 to 8 grams of carbohydrate per 100ml. Fruit juice, cordial, soft drinks and energy drinks are too high in carbohydrates and too low in electrolytes to be ideal for fluid replacement.
Does it matter what you drink? Each time I walk down the drinks aisle at the supermarket, I am surprised by the ever-increasing range. Some of these drinks are high in energy (calories/kilojoules) and research has shown that they contribute to weight gain.
If we are not careful about what we drink over the day, the kilojoules soon add up.
Check the label for energy and sugar content and consider the bottle size. You'll be surprised at what you find. For instance, while fruit juice provides some benefits from the vitamin content, it has about the same amount of sugar as cola (about six teaspoons per 250ml).
Even if the sugar is "natural", it still has the potential to contribute to weight gain and tooth decay.
Diet soft drinks and sports waters contain little or no sugar.
However, they have a low pH, which may erode tooth enamel. To minimise the damage, keep sugary and acidic drinks for meal times.
Saliva production is high at this time and helps protect the teeth by washing sugar and acid away. Avoid sipper bottles for drinking sweet and acidic drinks.
4 cups boiling water
8 green-tea bags
2 cups cold water
1/2 cup Splenda sweetener granular
In a saucepan, pour boiling water over the tea bags.
Cover and steep for 5 minutes.
Remove the tea bags from the water, squeezing gently.
Stir in cold water and sweetener, stirring until the sweetener dissolves.
Serve over ice.

Need for Speed Underground 2
EA's Scott Nielsen dishes out a behind-the scenes diary.
Hi there! My name is Scott Nielsen and I'm an Associate Producer on Need for Speed Underground 2. This has, without a doubt, been one of the hardest, strangest journeys that I've ever been on when making a video game. The lack of sleep, late nights, early mornings, mental and physical exhaustion have all begun to take their toll on my body -- a sacrifice that's totally worth it at the end of the day, when I look at the amazing game we've been able to create as a team. Bear with me over the next few paragraphs as I attempt to let you crawl into my headspace while I try and give you a glimpse of my life over the last year.
After the tremendous success of the original Underground game, we knew that making a sequel was going to be very demanding. We were able to fly under the radar somewhat with Underground 1 and then came from out of nowhere and wowed people at the E3 show, which was really the first time that anyone outside of the company had seen the game. Momentum continued to build from that point forward and we were able to ride that huge wave of support all the way until the game hit the shelves. I think the biggest difference between the development of U1 and U2 has been the immediate hype and expectations that were present with the game, right out of the gate. With success come high expectations, from both the company and the fans alike, and anyone who has played sports can attest to this -- it's much easier to finally climb all the way up to #1 than it is to remain at #1. It's almost as if you are that up-and-coming baseball team that has made the playoffs the last couple of seasons, but never been able to get past the divisional series. With Underground 1, not only were we able to finally win that Divisional series, we felt like we went on to win the World Series! You'll have to excuse all of my analogies to the sporting world; I grew up playing baseball and hockey in a team environment and have a bad habit (or good, depending on your point of view) of relating most things in life back to a sports team setting.
One of the first things we set out to do after U1 had been out for a few months was solicit as many people as possible for their thoughts and feedback on the game, whether positive or negative. Through focus groups, reviews, trade shows, word of mouth, fan sites and the internet community in general, we were able to gather tons of valuable information about the "likes and dislikes" of Underground 1. Bar none, the number one requested feature to be included in a sequel to U1 was to deliver the same type of racing game in an "open world" environment.
It became very apparent that the open world environment was a natural progression for the Underground game. The tricky questions became: How do we deliver a pure racing game to the player in an open world? Will there be enough for the player to do in the world? How the heck does a player engage in races? How are you supposed to navigate this huge city? How are the AI going to handle themselves in a totally different system than what was used in Hot Pursuit 2 and U1? How the hell are we going to finish this game on time?!?? It became our mission to not only answer all of these questions, but to also deliver on them!
"How do we deliver a pure racing game to the player in an open world?"
Good question. I think you have to ask yourself what the most important aspect of a racing game is. To me, it's absolutely the design of the track(s), with the tuning of the cars following closely in second. If you don't have a fun, well designed course to drive, well...you don't have much of a racing game, do you? That was one of our guiding principles in designing the world for Underground 2 -- make sure the drive is a fun experience. We operated on the "clicks per second" rule -- which basically means that the player should be doing something with his hands (on the controller, of course) every two to three seconds, be it braking, accelerating, steering, sliding, etc. Any time we had a stretch of road that broke the "clicks per second" rule, we would go back and re-tune it until it became a great drive. This was especially challenging in the city core as there are so many 90 degree turns because of the grid-like nature of a city design. I'm sure most city planners don't take driving at speeds in excess of 100 MPH into account when designing a city and, therefore, most "real world" cities aren't a ton of fun to drive around in a video game setting. We took a lot of time and patience to make sure we had a city that felt really organic and "city-like" but was a ton of fun to drive at ridiculous speeds.
"Will there be enough for the player to do in the world?"
Oh lord, I hope so or we've made a really bad decision here! This was actually one of the most intriguing areas in designing the game. How do we keep the player engaged while moving around this huge world? There are a ton of cool things to do in the game when not engaged in an 'official' race. I think one of the coolest ideas we had actually morphed into a new game mode called Outrun Mode. The idea here is that you can challenge other drivers in the game to a race at any point in time while free-roaming the world. There is absolutely no loading that takes place to get you into the race -- as soon as you hit the "accept" button, the race is on. It's very intense! Basically, you have to try and put a distance of 1,000 feet between you and your opponent and you have the entire world at your disposal to try and do so. There are some really interesting strategies involved here depending on where exactly in the world you are racing. Because your opponent can turn in any direction at any time, you really have to be careful about when you want to try and make a pass to take the lead. Now add a ton of four way intersections (some with boulevards) into the equation and you literally have hundreds of options available to you to try and lose your opponent.

Why did they have to mess up the nos system in nfs ug 2.They should have leaved in more like a simulation,but they had to make it that when u get trick points u get your nos back im mad they did that.I think its better to have it more real and have ur ceartin amount of nos for the whole race and not regernate it back like they did in nfs ug 2 thats so fake im madd.My Birthday is November 15 and i will be buying NFS UG 2 on the day it comes out for the ps2.

I have not rented this game, but it sounds really good. I may be a newcomer to this site, but I can still sense a good game! My cousin has the first underground, and that was really fun. Imagine what Underground 2 will be like!
OMG THS LKS AWSMEPosted: Sep 06, 2004 12:00AM PST by keyblademaster197
I think nfsu2 will surpass all street racing games on the market (not counting Burnout 3). I'm not saying the others are bad, but just don't look as good as Underground 2 does.

I cant wait for this one to come. Ill get it for my gamecube. I loved the first one even though it was too linear and the way upgrading was done was crappy, but it was still an awesome game. All other import racing games will be trying to copy NFSU.

Provincia del Chimborazo Things to Do
Refugio Carrel and Refugio Whymper
The two refuges on Chimborazo are named after the Brit Edward Whymper and the Italian brothers Carrel, who were the first ones to climb Chimborazo in 1880. Refugio Carrel is situated at an altitude of 4840 metres and Refugio Whymper at an altitude of 5040 metres. There are caretakers at both refuges and also equipped kitchens. Upstairs there are...more
Vicuñas and llamas
On the way to Chimborazo we saw llamas, a domesticated camelid which for long has been used as a pack animal and for meat and wool in the Andes. Biking down from Chimborazo we saw several vicuñas at different places. The vicuñas are wild camelids. Vicuñas in Ecuador had been hunted to extension, but because of donations from Peru, Chile and Bolivia...more
Tectonic plates
Just off the coast of South America the Nazca Plate is going under the South American Plate. This is an ongoing submission and a result of it is the Andean mountains and all the volcanoes there. On the way to Chimborazo we stopped and the guide pointed out a cross section of the sediment layers along the roadside. There you could clearly see how...more
Ancient Inca site
During the biking tour from Chimborazo we stopped at an old Inca site. Here some big stones are scattered around in the grass. The big flat stones are believed to have been used for different rituals. There are traces of three house foundations, but the houses have at some time been destroyed by an earthquake. The area has been excavated and items...more
La Chorrera Canyon
La Chorrera Canyon is a canyon situated along the road to Chimborazo (coming from Riobamba). The rocks are vertical, almost 100 metres high at the highest point. This is where Río Chorrera has its origin. When I was on a tour with ProBici we stopped here to have a look. As it was quite windy we could not walk to the edge (probably you should never...more
Tour to Chimborazo and mountain biking
In the morning I was picked up outside my hotel at 8:15,and then we, the guide Alejandro from Pro Bici and James from England, went to a café to pick up some sandwiches before we started the drive to Chimborazo. At some places along the road Alejandro stopped the car to tell us interesting things to know. We also waited for two other cars with a...more
Tourists mainly come to Riobamba for trekking, mountain biking and to organize a Chimborazo climb. For two years I have now wanted to climb Chimborazo, but last year when I was in Ecuador I broke my wrist and this year I first had a fever and then a cough, and thus not feeling well enough to acclimatize for the climb. I came to Riobamba anyway to...more
The Vicuña Trail
Though one could be quite content to do small walks around the hostel with Chimborazo so nearby, the Vicuña Trail is the real attraction of this region. Climbers access the area via Guaranda which leads to Refugio Whymper at 5000m so this is the domain of backpackers. It is a two to three day trek that brings you around beautiful mountain lakes...more

As the fighting between the Sunni and Shiite in Iraq continues to escalate — the most deadly attack of late occurred on Thursday when more than 200 people in a Shiite district of Baghdad were killed — the newly elected Democratic Congress will be forced to confront the United States involvement in an increasingly unpopular and deadly war.
On Face The Nation, CBS News correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reported that "in all the times I've been here, I've never seen our Iraqi colleagues quite so scared."
Palmer said the Iraqi government has been calling for unity. But many Iraqis see Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki as weak, and he is unable to disarm militias as the United States is asking. The situation presents a difficult set of problems to incoming freshman senators, three of which appeared on Face The Nation.
Senator-elect Claire McCaskill, D-Mo., said she thinks the United States will have to begin to withdraw from the ravaged nation.
"All of us know that we have made a terrible mistake in Iraq. There are no good answers right now. None," she said.
She said was eager for the soon-to-be released Baker-Hamilton report from the bipartisan Iraq Study Group lead by former Secretary of State James Baker, who served in the first Bush administration, and former Rep. Lee Hamilton.
Meanwhile, radical Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr is threatening that if al-Maliki meets with Bush when the president travels to the Middle East next week, he will pull out of the government. Because his faction controls eight key ministries, his withdrawal could mean the end of this government.
The violence has Senator-elect Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, convinced that the argument he made throughout his campaign — that troops should be redeployed within a year and a half to two years — is correct.
"It's pretty clear that this 'stay the course' strategy isn't working. Today marks the day that this war is as long as World War II, and the exit strategy needs to begin immediately," he said on Face The Nation. "I don't think the Iraqis are ever going to build their police, their military or police security forces on their own until they know that there is a date that we are leaving. And I think we're beginning to see that coming from the administration with a little more clarity."
Both Brown and McCaskill said it is important for Bush to involve Middle Eastern nations that have a large stake in what happens to Iraq in solving the problems there. They said they are encouraged by his upcoming trip to the region.
Senator-elect Bob Corker, R-Tenn., said all Americans want to see a change in strategy in Iraq — but that he cannot image leaving the embattled nation without Iraq having a secure government.
"I think all of us really … want to see what's going to happen this with report," he said. "That could mean everything from actually adding more troops in the short term to make sure that Baghdad can be secured and we can start doing some things with the militias that make sense there in the country."
Corker broke with the Bush administration on its stance on direct discussion with Iran and Syria and said "we have to talk with all the players in the region.
"I know it's disconcerting. Syria may have played a role in Lebanon, recently, in a way that's very destructive, obviously, with the governmental leader that was just killed. We'll find out whether that's true or not," he said. "But the fact is that, even though they are our enemies in many regards, we have to engage people in the region. The fact is they're neighboring countries. They have people that are in and out of the country."
McCaskill said she is concerned that many people have gotten rich off the war in Iraq and Congress's role is to ask questions about how money is being spent.
"I think we can begin asking the questions that haven't been asked about war profiteering, about why it is we've spent $350 billion and some of our guys still don't have the right armor," she said.
McCaskill acknowledged that both Democrats and Republicans may be trying to get the Baker-Hamilton report to find a solution rather than coming up with a workable way to deal with Iraq — but in the end, she said the President is in charge of foreign policy.
"Congress has a role, but it is oversight. It is accountability," she said. "And I think the American people have a role by speaking loudly, as they have in this election, telling the administration we do not want to stay the course. Now, we need to do whatever we can do in Congress to try to further that along, but it is unrealistic that we're going to pull the plug on the financing to make sure that our troops have what they need that are on the ground in Iraq."
Brown said he is certain that newly elected Republicans will also apply pressure on the Bush administration.
"I just see the open-mindedness of my new colleague from Tennessee, Senator-elect Corker and the comments he's made," Brown said. "There is more — if the president hasn't gotten the message from the electorate, which I think he's beginning to get the message about Iraq, he's going to get it from his House and Senate Republicans, more and more of them, and the Democrats, who are saying they want more accountability, number one, on how the dollars are being spent and on what's happening on the ground in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Product Description
Suspense as startling as a strangled scream! This is it, the defining motion picture in all of "film noir," written by Academy Award-nominee Martin Goldsmith (The Narrow Margin) and directed by legendary B-movie maker Edgar G. Ulmer (Daughter of Dr. Jekyll, The Black Cat). Tom Neal (The Brute Man, The Pride of the Yankees), handsome 1940's leading man, brings to thrilling life a down-on-his-luck nightclub performer who takes one wrong turn and picks up the meanest femme fatale in all of "noir," played to perfection by the incomparable Ann Savage (The Dark Horse, The Spider) in one of the most powerful and riveting performances ever recorded on celluloid.

I just couldn't get into this one. Unlike some other movies in this genre that I DO like a lot including: Whirlpool, Dangerous Crossing, Impact...this one didn't ring true and I never got past watching this as a viewer and not absorbed and captivated by the story itself. The acting seemed contrived (especially Ann Savage) and some of the plot was unfeasible too.
considering the great reviews and things I had heard about this movie, a disappointment. but I'm glad a lot of film noir fans did enjoy it. :-)
A potential ride in the form of a friendly trucker strikes up a conversation. Where you coming from? West. Where you going to? East.
Roberts is wrong, though. He's coming from Hell and he's going to Nowhere, and the last thing he needs is a chatty trucker along for company.
DETOUR is told in a flashback from that lonely stool. Roberts and his girlfriend work as pianist/singer in a fleabag club out east. Comes a foggy night and she splits up with him to pursue fame out west. Weeks later he calls and they agree to get back together. He'll come out west and they can be married.
Being down at his heels Roberts is forced to hitchhike to California. All goes well until he reaches Arizona, where Fate deals Roberts one nasty hand after another. In short order the innocent Roberts finds and feels himself a hunted man.
DETOUR is a wonderful film. Neal is perfect as the moody young musician who finds himself trapped first by and accident and later by femme fatale Ann Savage, who know his terrible secret and has no scruples against using it against him for her own nefarious purposes. Veteran B-movie director Edgar Ulmer has enough tricks up his sleeves to surmount the Poverty Row studio conditions he was working under. If you're a fan of film noir, or enjoy hard-bitten stories, you'll enjoy DETOUR.
By the way, my thirty year old first edition copy of The Film Encyclopedia had an interesting entry on DETOUR'S star Tom Neal.Read more ›
Ann Savage's character Vera is perhaps the most blunt, cold, evil, wholly unlikable woman I have ever heard tell of. It is quite easy to see why the man we meet in the opening scene is as hateful and short-tempered as he is. As we flash back to the whole story of Roberts' hard times, accompanied by plenty of voiceover narration, one cannot help but feel sorry for the guy.Read more ›
