...fact, the jazz and video-game-music communities have remained largely separate until now. And yes, there is a video-game-music community - an extensive, primarily Internet-based collective of musicians who focus on a genre they call chiptune. Most enthusiasts are people in their 20s and 30s who find themselves drawn to the sounds of early video games, to blend those electronic bleeps and bloops with rock, pop and hip-hop. Chiptune is still relatively obscure: in 2007, hip-hop artist Timbaland got in trouble for sampling a tune composed by a Finnish chiptune musician...

It's not easy to build support for immediate action to avert a future emergency, but Obama showed it could be done with the stimulus, although that emergency...

It notes that while Mexico has 370 police officers per 100,000 people, the U.S. has only 225 - but enjoys a far more effective and trustworthy police culture. "Security in Mexico: Implications for U.S. Policy Options" recommends that since Calderón's military crusade can only be a short-term drug-war strategy, the U.S. must "engage in a strategic partnership with Mexico that emphasizes reform and longer-term institution-building."
