	John O'Sullivan on Immigration & Borders on National Review Online
		It would be much more consistent with the bill's intention to compel them to apply from abroad — where they would have to undergo a serious examination of their claims at a U.S. consulate.
		And to allow such illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S., effectively jumping ahead of law-abiding would-be immigrants in the entry line, because they have acquired an employer or a spouse during their sojourn, is a form of amnesty.
		But these doubts are surely reasons for cautious checking of potential fellow citizens and next-door neighbors rather than for welcoming them with open arms and porous borders, and then learning late in the day that they are not what they said on their application forms.

	Region urged to get serious on oil spills
		Get the Legislature or Congress to form a citizen-run group, funded by shipping interests, to keep an eye on the spill-prevention efforts of industry and government.
		Get something just like the Regional Citizens' Advisory Council that has helped make Valdez one of the safest ports in the country.
		But advocates for a citizens' council said allowing plain folks to get involved in those groups is not at all the same thing as having a professional, well-funded council accountable only to the public.

	News in Science - Gamers get serious, face reality - 01/11/2006
		"Serious games are games used for some other serious pursuit than entertainment," says Ben Sawyer, co-director of the Serious Games Initiative, which held its first summit two years ago.
		In one episode, for example, two soldiers seeking information from local Iraqis sitting in a cafe are shown how to introduce themselves to make clear they are not a threat and are told to take off their sunglasses as eye contact is important in Iraqi culture.
		Sawyer says he expects the next big success story to be a serious game being developed to enable students to design their own game on a certain topic.

	Australian Flexible Learning Framework -
		'Serious games' were discussed at the Tokyo Game Show Forum in September and the concept was introduced with a great deal of industry support and enthusiasm to the world stage at the October 'Serious Games Summit' in Washington.
		"Serious games have the same ability as any normal computer game to emotionally immerse people in game play using adventure or strategy, but the difference is the subtly disguised intention that players will learn as they play, with progress checkpoints acting as a platform for knowledge and content assessment," Mr Denyer said.
		Serious games should not be confused with other interactive educational e-learning tools, says Adrian Denyer, 2004 Flexible Learning Leader.

		At the very least, this weekend's two-part Gazette series on marijuana cultivation should give pause to legislators who have been slow to grasp the urgent need for clarification of the legal uncertainties surrounding this drug.
		As much as police try to get a grip on the situation, they are also trying, quite rightly, to get across the message that this is a problem that can't be handled by law enforcement alone.

		We have to hand it to Dell, when they get serious about entering a new market they pull no punches and do a great job of sending the competition scrambling.
		The XPS series of gaming PCs embarks a new philosophy for Dell — no longer are they willing to sit on the sidelines and do nothing — moreover, they’re going after the market of gaming PCs so aggressively now that many of the boutique builders who had initially shrugged them off are taking notice.
		Using the same basic design as the 8600 series, this new XPS does come in a slightly larger package and overall weight.

		Serious Sam's storyline is very similar to movies or games that are set in ancient Egypt: alien technology and the Egyptian culture have become tightly intertwined.

	Amazon.com: Books: Serious Play: How the World's Best Companies Simulate to Innovate (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		In the last chapter, he lays out the 10 rules of serious play, including: Be willing to fail early and often; know when the costs outweigh the benefits; know who wins and who loses from an innovation; build a prototype that engages customers, vendors, and colleagues; create markets around prototypes; and simulate the customer experience.
		Some "play" can be taken much too seriously as when overzealous parents scream at their children as they begin to compete in organized sports; other "play" is not treated seriously enough as when a corporation discourages (perhaps even punishes) innovative thinking unless it has an immediate and favorable impact on the bottom line.
		Serious Play is one of those rare books that will change the paradigms that many companies and other organizations have, enable them to learn faster and more effectively, and then make better decisions.
