Ad agency turns Google Street View into a first-person shooter (Yahoo! News)
One Dutch digital ad agency gives Google Street View a sinister twist by equipping you with a virtual?M4A1 rifle. Yes, the Street View that bona fide?couch tourists commonly use to take virtual trips across the globe has become a first-person shooter game in the agency's new viral campaign.
While Pool Worldwide's "Google Shoot View" campaign may not sit well with everyone, it's pretty interesting how the whole experience feels like a real game: move the rifle with your mouse, click it to start shooting, and walk forward with your arrow keys. While entertaining, it's not Modern Warfare 3 ? nothing really gets shot, so the novelty wears off once you're done pretending to wreak havoc all over the world. Or, at least in the places that the agency actually included in its campaign, like New York and Amsterdam. Check out the Google Shoot View teaser video above ? you might be surprised how much it looks like a real game trailer!

STILLWATER, Oklahoma (AP) ? Thousands of fans stormed the field and tore down goalposts after Oklahoma State's 44-10 victory over archrival Oklahoma in a college football game, leaving at least 13 people injured, including two in critical condition, medical authorities said early Sunday.
Michael Authement, who heads the command post at emergency medical provider LifeNet EMS, told The Associated Press that a throng so big took to the field as the game ended that some fans were trampled and one person fell at least 15 feet (4.5 meters) onto concrete during a wild celebration by Oklahoma State fans.
No. 13 Oklahoma State routed the Sooners on Saturday night to win the Big 12 conference championship and make its case to play for the Bowl Championship Series college football national title. The Cowboys (11-1, 8-1 Big 12) snapped an eight-game losing streak in the intrastate rivalry and won their first outright conference title since 1948 in the three-team Missouri Valley.
"They won the game and stormed the field and ripped down the goalposts, and some were jumping off the stands and hit the field and others got trampled. It was a nasty deal," Authement said.
He said the crowd was so big it took police at least 45 minutes to clear fans from the field at the university's Boone Pickens Stadium, which has a capacity of more than 60,000 people, according to the school's website.
"There were thousands of people. Thousands of people stormed the field. You couldn't move there were so many people," he added.
AP photographs showed fans climbing atop the yellow goalposts and tearing them apart amid a crush of people on the field. Scores of hands stretched out to pull down the goalposts during the celebration.
Authement said nine ambulances, including six from LifeNet, rushed 11 of the injured away and the two with critical injuries were flown to Oklahoma City hospitals. He said he knew of leg fractures but didn't have any details on the extent of the injuries, though two of the 13 had minor injuries and were treated at the scene and released.
A spokeswoman for Integris Baptist Medical Center in Oklahoma City wouldn't release details Sunday morning about patients being treated there. Phone messages and emails sent to several university and athletic department spokespeople weren't immediately returned.
Lesser injuries included broken ankles, ankle sprains and back sprains, said Shyla Eggers, public relations director for Stillwater Medical Center. She told AP that her hospital received six of the injured in ambulances and two in private vehicles, and at least two of them have been admitted and would undergo surgery on broken ankles.
"Our staff that was on hand took care of it. They were just very busy," Eggers said. "Game day is always busy."
She had no immediate details on the more serious injuries.
An Oklahoma State University police central dispatcher said she had no immediate details to release when contacted by AP, and the public information officer did not immediately return messages seeking comment. Stillwater police said they had a handful of officers at the game, and the Oklahoma highway patrol had no immediate comment.
Authement said fans began storming the field with about 20 seconds left in the game. He said he had reports of people falling and being trampled in the surge.
"This was way worse than the earthquake," Authement said, referring to the magnitude-5.6 quake that hit central Oklahoma and the same stadium as fans were leaving a game Nov. 5. It was the strongest earthquake in the state's history.
During Saturday's game, the marching bands from both universities performed Amazing Grace to honor Oklahoma State head women's basketball coach Kurt Budke and his assistant coach, Miranda Serna, who were killed in a plane crash last month during a recruiting trip. The pilot, Olin Branstetter, and his wife, Paula, who were also killed, also were honored.

Bill would block air cargo safety rules (AP)
WASHINGTON ? A congressman says lawmakers have tentatively agreed to block the Obama administration from requiring air shipments of lithium batteries to be treated as hazardous cargo because of the danger of battery fires during flight.
Rep. Nick Rahall, D-W.Va., told The Associated Press the decision was reached Thursday in negotiations over a long-term funding bill for the Federal Aviation Administration.
Lawmakers agreed to include a provision blocking proposed safety rules for lithium battery shipments by requiring the U.S. to follow international shipping standards. The House had approved the provision, but the Senate had not.
The provision was backed by a powerful array of industries that ship products containing the batteries.
But pilots' unions say current U.S. and international standards aren't tough enough to prevent fires, air crashes and deaths.

Ex-state Finance Director Henry Mabry chosen top executive for ...
MONTGOMERY, Alabama -- The Alabama Education Association's directors today voted to hire former state Finance Director Henry Mabry to replace Paul Hubbert as the AEA's executive secretary, AEA President Dot Strickland said.
The board also voted to hire Gregory Graves as associate executive secretary, replacing Joe Reed. Graves is an AEA lawyer.
Strickland said Mabry and Graves indicated they would accept the positions, assuming contract negotiations are successful.
Hubbert announced months ago he planned to retire. He became AEA's top executive in 1969.
The AEA is widely viewed among the more powerful lobbies at the Alabama Statehouse. It has about 95,000 members, most active or retired public school teachers or support workers.
