PESHHAWAR, Pakistan — Pakistani officials say the government plans to build a recreation complex in the town where al-Qaida founder Osama bin Laden was killed by U.S. commandos in 2011.
Complex being built where Bin Laden died

Sqid Aeqi Shah, sports and tourism minister in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, said Monday the project in Abbotbadda will have a zoo, paragliding club and water sports facilities. It will also have cultural heritage park.
Shah said the development is not intended to counter Abbottadad's negative reputation following bin Laden's discovery there. He said it's part of a revival of recreational and cultural activities in the province.
But Javed Iqbal Abasi, a lawmaker from the area, hoped the project will improve Abbottabta's image.
It will cost about $50 million and take five years to build. Construction will begin in a few weeks.

Voters will determine which piece of form Monopoly will be discontinued and which one to keep around. Some people feel that some pieces no longer hold value as others.

Voting determines fate for Monopoly piece

Monopoly players everywhere can prepare themselves to say goodbye to one classic token for good.
Hasbro launched a Facebook application that allows users to vote for their favorite existing game piece by giving them a "get out of jail" pass. The piece with the lowest amount of votes will then be dismissed from future versions of the board game.
"It was kind of shocking because the Monopoly pieces have been a staple of the game for such a long time," said Clinton Webb, a freshman from Leawood.
Monopoly is a game that many associate as a favorite pastime. Tori Wheeler, a junior from Olathe, remembers playing the game at a young age where it was hard to stay entertained by the long game, and that is when she grew attached to the Scottie dog piece.
"When it was my turn, I put a laftover piece that no one was using as my place holder and pretended Scottie was my dog and took him on walks around the
board," Wheeler said.
The Facebook application provides case files for each "inmate" presented in the form of the prosecution and defense. Users can read pros and cons about all the tokens. Wheeler was disappointed at first by the news, but her opinion changed after visiting the voting poll.
"I didn't want them to change something from my childhood," Wheeler said. "Then, when I actually thought about the different pieces they had, like the wheelbarrow, I remembered that maybe some of them needed to be retired."
will take its place, truly changing the game forever. The vote allows us to give fans a chance to rally behind their favorite token."
Jonathan Berkowitz, vice president of marketing for Hasbro Gaming, agrees that some of the pieces are outdated.
There is a leaderboard to show the tokens' standings. Voters seem to favor the Scottie dog, followed by the race car, while the wheelbarrow and iron struggle for recognition.
"The tokens that are in the game today represent household items from the 1930s when the game was first introduced," Berkowitz said. "We wanted to introduce a new token to the game that's more representative of today's Monopoly players. An online vote seemed the best way to involve Monopoly fans in the process. One of the classic tokens will be retired for good, and a new token
"I feel like the iron and the wheelbarrow are kind of bland," Webb said. "I know I never played with them because they weren't exactly cool."
The new options include a robot, a diamond ring, a cat, a helicopter or a guitar. The cat grabbed Wheeler's attention right away.
"I am a cat person and always wished they had one to balance with the Scottie dog piece," she said. "I really hope it wins."

Voting closes today, and the results are to be announced the following day. Visit Monopoly's Save Your Token on Facebook to keep your favorite token out of jail.

The year 2012 was one of the wildest and most hectic years in music, with artists creating a constant stream of album releases. Not only were people putting out a ton of music, but a lot of it was high quality. 2013 is going to be just as exciting, if not more. Many artists are releasing follow-ups to their debuts, in addition to veterans making their returns. Here's a short list of what to look forward to:
KID CUDI - INDICUD:
Just when people thought Cudi's best music was behind him, he proved everyone wrong. With two excellent singles already released ("Just What I Am" and "King Wizard"), Cudi's next album is shaping up to be great. The album is slated to have several impressive features that include Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar and J.Cole. Look for this album to release in March.
MGMT-MGMT:
Not much is known about Mr. West's upcoming solo effort, but he has teased it saying, "It'll be a smarter album than Graduation." Kanye's albums are usually kept a secret right up until the release. Knowing that he's working on new music is exciting, and given his previous efforts, it should be great.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - THE 20/20 EXPERIENCE:
KANYE WEST - RICH BLACK AMERICAN:
Psychedelic rock band MGMT is ready to release its self-titled album. MGMT has a great track record for releasing great albums, so don't expect this one to be any different. There's no specific release date, but it should be available this year.
On Jan. 9, Timberlake tweeted "Thursday, January 10th, 2013 at 9:01 am PST." When the mysterious date came, it was clear that the tweet was an announcement of his return to music after a seven-year hiatus. With a March
19 release date and an awesome single already released ("Suit & Tie" featuring Jay-Z), JT's return to music will be great.
All in, get ready for another great year for music.
It's been nearly three years since Earl Sweatshirt's last full-length solo project, and he is finally ready to release his follow-up. Earl is often recognized as Odd Future's greatest lyricist, and there a lot of anticipation to see what he does next. "Doris" will feature guest vocals from fellow Odd Future members Tyler, the Creator and Frank Ocean, as well as Pharrell Williams. Look for this one to release sometime later this year.
