The White House has tapped a former leader of the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the Indiana Wildlife Federation as the Asian carp czar to oversee the federal response to keeping the invasive species out of the Great Lakes.

To quote one of the replies at the end of the story: "This would be a great job for a bottom feeder. Obama should do the work himself."

Stimulus money at work...

funny how if pollution kills off a few indigenous species of fish in a lake everyone gets all up in arms, if an invasive species does it nobody even cares. but i'm sure the OP is well aware why this is an issue and not just posting this to try and bash that dirty muslim terrorist obama...

This is actually really important. So I don't mind they are using money for ot

Its important yes, but appointing a czar for it no way in hell is that needed.But I guess if you like your government full of people that needs not answer to anyone then czars are for you.

Unless this guy has some powers outside of what the job is actually going to cover, then what exactly are you worried about? Its not like Czars are new, though Bush and Obama have taken in a very large number of them to past POTUS.

Ugh seriously? Its a waste of money. No not trying to stop the carp thats fine, but putting in a czar to over see this is wrong.Why appoint this guy when the department of fish and game could handle this.

But its ok because its Obama right?

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences"

      By Big John Studd · Posted

      Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/

      This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?

      Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store

      Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?

      MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
