Gamma ray telescope uses 'blazars' to map GLOWING COSMIC FOG
Scientists operating the Fermi gamma wave telescope have published the results of a four-year study into the light that shines in the universe from current and past stars. The experiment measures the light from the first stars formed after the Big Bang, the so-called extragalactic background light (EBL). This acts as a "fog" …
Dispersed average
Surely that average distance, 4000+ light years between stars, is if they were taken out of their galaxies and dispersed through intergalactic space. It seems a happy medium between the 4or so light years between the neighbours of our sun, and the 2,000,000 light years from here to Andromeda.
Re: Dispersed average
That is an almost perfect restatement of how they arrived at that number. Replace "medium" with "mean" and you would have it.
Mean or meaningless?
Why on - or off - earth would anyone be interested in the average distance between stars? It is a meaningless statistic. Nearly all stars are likely to be in galaxies. One reason economists use median income rather than mean income is the the distribution is highly skewed.
Re: Mean or meaningless?
It lets you estimate the density of the universe as a whole, which is useful if you want to know whether it would float in a really big tub of water, or how small you could make it if you crushed it in a rather large garbage masher.[1]

No, not awesomely big. In fact, no larger than the Holy Finger in Michelangelo's fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The SB does not have huge lats or huge pecs or a huge gluteus maximus. Or wear size 25 Wellington Boots.
He's Lord of the Universe. Not Mr. Universe.

'The Devil Gets his Due'
Mephistopheles, the devil, wagers God that he can win Faust's soul. Mephistopheles then persuades Faust to sell his soul for a moment of perfect happiness. Just as Mephistopheles appears to have won the bet, the dying Faust dreams of ruling a peaceful nation. God pardons Faust as the defeated Mephistopheles sarcastically whistles in defiance.
SF Opera is performing Mephistopheles from September 6 through October 2.

Questions tagged with 'syntax'http://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/tags/syntax2014-11-21T10:38:27ZSentence Structure- Compound or Simple?http://www.grammarly.com/answers/questions/48413-sentence-structure-compound-or-simple/
 Just wondering if there is ellipsis of the subject in the supposed, 'second' clause, then does it still count as an 'independent clause'.

 For example- is the following sentence COMPOUND OR SIMPLE?
 Opposing parties often sit down and chat it out.

 Thanks!

asked Mar 02 at 02:41 by Vivien, New member

1 answer

 Though the dictionary does define ellipsis as the omission of one or more words, I have never heard or read the word used for anything but the punctuation mark used to indicate that. We do not use is as a synonym for the word omission.

 A compound sentence contains two or more independent clauses. An independent clause contains a subject and a verb and is a complete thought.

 A simple sentence may have a compound subject or a compound verb. It can also have dependent phrases. A simple sentence does not have to be a very short sentence.

 The easiest way to find out if you have two independent clauses is to split the sentence up and see if each part can stand alone as a sentence. "Chat it out" might cause a bit of confusion. I could be used as an independent clause as a directive. But the subject of that sentence is an implied "you" - not "opposing parties." So it cannot stand alone and is not an independent clause.

 When a sentence has two independent clauses, they are joined with either a semicolon or a comma and a conjunction. Your sentence has neither and is punctuated properly because it is only one independent clause.

One Border Patrol agent was killed and another severely injured after the Crown Victoria in which they were travelling collided with a steer and a tree on Farm-to-Market Road 755, in Brooks County, Texas. Agent Mark Van Doren was declared dead at the scene — Agent Adelaido Martinez was taken by helicopter to Corpus Christi Memorial Hospital where he has been listed in serious condition.
According a report in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, a Border Patrol spokeswoman indicated that neither agent was wearing a seatbelt — the speed limit on the road they where the collision occurred is reportedly 65 miles per hour.
The website for KGBT-TV 4 states in its coverage of the incident that "cattle and other livestock have the right-of-way on farm-to-market roads, ranch roads, and state highways" under Texas state law.

Disenfranchisement of reflex seizures ending?Posted: 04/16/2014 Filed under: Diagnostic Challenges, Medical Research, Photosensitive Seizure Prevention, Political Action & Advocacy | Tags: computer games, epilepsy, photosensitive epilepsy, photosensitivity, seizures, video games Leave a comment
A new definition of epilepsy published this week affirms that photosensitive and other reflex seizures qualify as "real" epilepsy. This clarification may eventually help increase awareness of seizures from video games and other electronic media.
Although reflex seizures have long been included in official classification schemes of epileptic seizures, they don't fit cleanly into established categories of seizure types and epilepsy syndromes. In neurology training they are typically mentioned only briefly. And typically they are taken too lightly by doctors using the prevailing diagnostic criteria for epilepsy: at least two unprovoked seizures at least 24 hours apart.
Because reflex seizures, by definition, are provoked by specific triggers, there's confusion and most doctors have been reluctant to diagnose epilepsy in people whose epileptic seizures require an environmental provocation. The authors of the new definition paper acknowledge this:
"Under limits of the current definition, [a] patient might have photosensitive epilepsy, yet not be considered to have epilepsy because the seizures are provoked by lights…People with reflex epilepsies previously have been disenfranchised by the requirement that seizures be unprovoked. The inclusion of reflex epilepsy syndromes in a practical clinical definition of epilepsy now brings these individuals into the epilepsy community."
Diagnostic criteria under the new definition now include at least two unprovoked or reflex seizures at least 24 hours apart. The new definition also allows an epilepsy diagnosis after a single seizure–either unprovoked or reflex–if there is a high probability of recurrence.
I've written previously about the inconsistency inherent in using the criterion of "unprovoked" to diagnose epilepsy in people whose seizures happen only in response to sensory triggers such as flashing light. This thinking (along with the assumption that photosensitive epilepsy is very rare) has led to marginalization of reflex seizures in the research community and among clinicians as well. Marginalization means doctors have been underdiagnosing reflex epilepsy, researchers seeking funding pursue other topics to study, and the public and public policy makers are largely unaware of the public health issue of photosensitive seizures.
The practical clinical definition was developed by a 19-member multinational task force of the International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE), incorporating input from hundreds of other clinicians, researchers, patients, and other interested parties. I'm more than pleased that the ILAE is choosing to make it clear that reflex epilepsy deserves the same respect as other forms of the disease (the new definition paper characterizes epilepsy as a disease rather than a disorder). It's fortunate that the chair of the ILAE task force that produced the new definition is Robert Fisher, MD, PhD of Stanford, lead author of the 2005 consensus paper describing seizures from visual stimulation as "a serious public health problem." No doubt Dr. Fisher's appreciation of the magnitude of the problem was instrumental in ensuring that the task force addressed it.
Not all epileptologists agree with all aspects of the new epilepsy definition–and Epilepsia has given them a voice as well, publishing half a dozen commentaries, all of which are available free online. I contributed a piece as well, providing a patient/family perspective.
Of course, it remains to be seen how long it will take for neurologists to shift their attitudes and diagnostic practices regarding reflex epilepsy. Perhaps the inclusion of reflex seizures in the epilepsy definition will help dispell the idea that reflex seizures are rare.
Removing seizure triggers doesn't spoil the funPosted: 03/30/2014 Filed under: Gamers, Music Videos, Photosensitive Seizure Prevention, Safety modifications | Tags: computer games, flash, flicker, music videos, photosensitive epilepsy, photosensitivity, seizures, video games Leave a comment
Gaming fans who object to the concept of seizure-safe games have some major misconceptions about how their favorite games would look after seizure-inducing visuals are removed.
I've seen people in online forums threaten to stop their game subscription if the game's images are made safe. These folks are assuming that making safety modifications to the graphics will mean "neutering" the game experience in a way that ruins their enjoyment. In fact, very minor changes to images, which can be pretty hard to detect, are often all that's needed.
Thanks to extensive research that defined the characteristics of images that induce seizures, it's possible to make small changes that interrupt any such seizure-generating sequences. For example, after changes are made to some video frames, the flash interval–more than 3 flashes per second–which can lead to a seizure in people with photosensitive epilepsy, no longer induces seizures.
Want some proof?
NOTE: For those with visual sensitivity, before you click on the upcoming link to side-by-side videos, know that you should be able to view the page safely because the problem images aren't very large. If you'd prefer not to risk it, you might want to step back farther from your screen or cover the left side of your screen, because that's where the problem images are.
Now click to see the side-by-side images of a music video running in its original form (with safety violations) and after modifications were made to comply with seizure safety guidelines (in the UK, they're requirements, not guidelines). The changes are very subtle! Can you find them? As you'll see in the modified version, even visual sequences that contain some flashes and quick cuts can therefore pass the safety test. Basically, portions of some flashing sequences (9 instances) have been altered or removed, which does little to change the overall viewing experience. Edits to the video that allowed it to be broadcast were done within a single day by London-based post-production firm Vanderquest Limited.
Readers familiar with the Harding Flash and Pattern Analyzer that I routinely use to test video material for seizure safety will recognize the HFPA results shown beneath both versions of the music video. Although the original, uncorrected official version could not be broadcast in the UK due to regulations barring seizure-inducing material from being shown there, it lives on on YouTube.
Imagine these types of edits to the user interface of a video game. Exactly how do they ruin the gaming experience?! Or artistic expression?
Can handheld games trigger seizures?Posted: 02/21/2014 Filed under: Results of safety testing, Seizure Risk | Tags: 3DS, computer games, flash, Nintendo, photosensitive epilepsy, photosensitivity, seizures, video games Leave a comment
Think the screen of a handheld game is too small to provoke seizures?
It isn't. Games on the 2.9 inch screen of Nintendo's Game Boy Advance SP provoked quite a few seizures in my daughter when she owned one ten years ago.
Nintendo's current handheld is the popular 3DS console, which has a 3.5 inch screen. I recently tested some 3DS games to ascertain their seizure safety.
The rule of thumb (as it were) is that, for flashing and patterns to trigger seizures, the provoking image must take up at least one fourth of an individual's visual field. It's not unusual for kids to hold their portable games at close enough range for that small a screen to fill that much of their total view. Incidentally, although concerns were raised when the 3DS was introduced three years ago, there isn't any conclusive evidence that 3D effects increase the risk of seizures in people who are photosensitive.
The IGN.com website recently identified the 14 most anticipated 3DS games for 2014 release. Here's how they fared when tested for compliance with guidelines for preventing visually induced seizures; 6 of the 14 failed, and an additional 5 came close. Tests were done using the Harding Flash and Pattern Analyzer.
Here is how these highly anticipated 3DS games performed as far as meeting image safety guidelines for preventing photosensitive seizures:
Yes, there are seizure warnings on all game packages, but the warnings are pretty worthless for consumers. A year ago I posted about Nintendo being fully aware of, but publicly downplaying, the risk of seizures from its games.
Images in race car games can provoke seizuresPosted: 01/13/2014 Filed under: Health Consequences, Results of safety testing | Tags: computer games, photosensitive epilepsy, photosensitivity, racing games, seizures, video games Leave a comment
Parents concerned about their kids playing shooter and adventure games that feature a lot of violence may feel more comfortable with the racing game genre. But these games aren't necessarily harmless–because they contain lots of images with the potential to trigger seizures in those with photosensitive epilepsy.
Problem image sequences in racing games involve lights and patterns in a variety of scenes, such as:
- close-ups of rotating wheels/tires
- revolving scenery as seen by driver when cars do airborne flips
- collision impact shock, lighting change, and vibrations
- fast-moving patterns of quickly changing views of bridges, tunnels, and landscape features
I tested clips from 7 recommended racing games listed on a site that reviews video games, movies, music, and other media, and advises parents on their content. The potential of particular games (or any other media) to provoke seizures is absent in product reviews on this site and others.
Of the 7 games, 5 contained seizure-provoking sequences. The very fast-paced action and inevitable crashes provide many opportunities for visual overstimulation, although some of the games with equally exciting visuals did not actually fail the seizure safety test.
My results were arrived at using the Harding Flash and Pattern Analyzer, a tool for determining compliance of video images with guidelines for prevention of visually induced seizures. Your results may vary:
- settings on your monitor affecting brightness, contrast, and other visual effects can raise or reduce the demands on the visual cortex
- factors such as fatigue, illness, alcohol, etc. temporarily lower an individual's seizure threshold
- sitting farther away from the screen and taking frequent breaks can lessen the images' visual impact
Although players will encounter scenes in the game that I didn't analyze, making adjustments such as those above can significantly reduce an individual's risk of visually provoked seizures.
Here are the results from the Harding Flash and Pattern Analyzer:
Methodology: I ran multiple video clips through the analyzer, including official announcement trailers and gameplay clips uploaded by users. If the initial test for a game didn't show safety violations, I continued testing up to an additional 6 – 8 clips for each game before moving on (or until a failure occurs, if that came first).
I've previously tested multi-player, role-playing games (MMORPGs) and first-person shooters. Overall, based on my samplings of these genres and racing games, MMORPGs are least likely to trigger seizures.
Task force may look into video game seizures [updated]**Posted: 11/27/2013 Filed under: Political Action & Advocacy | Tags: computer games, epilepsy advocacy, photosensitive epilepsy, seizures, video games 1 Comment
Massachusetts State Rep. Ruth Balser has filed a bill calling for a working group to examine video game seizures as a public health issue in Massachusetts. The bill has been assigned to the Joint Committee on Public Health, where Rep. Balser is a member. I had met with her a couple of years ago to share my concerns about video game seizures as an underrecognized public health problem, particularly in young people.
To date, state legislatures have considered proposals to limit access by minors to "mature" and violent game content, and one legislator in New York State has proposed that signs be posted warning of possible seizures wherever video games are sold or rented. There have been no proposals like this one in Massachusetts, where the issue of concern is the public health problem of the seizures precipitated by video games. It's my hope that this can be investigated and discussed in a straightforward way without all the emotion that gets people so polarized whenever the game industry and its supporters are asked to respond to concerns.
The goal of this initiative is not to spoil anybody's leisure time activities, or put game developers out of business, or take away anybody's right to play games. It's to reduce the risk of seizures while consumers play video games. The issue needs public discussion, and a thoughtful report prepared in the interest of public health is a good way to start.
I'm learning about the process of enacting legislation in this state. The bill was formally introduced to the Joint Committee on Public Health in September: I provided articles on photosensitive epilepsy and letters of support for the bill, and made a very brief oral statement.
The next step for the bill involves the Committee's Director of Research, who will review the background information and support letters I provided. He will then recommend to the Committee's House and Senate Chairs whether the bill should receive consideration by the full committee. In December, before he makes that recommendation, I will meet with him to discuss the issues and answer any questions. Stay tuned–in the coming weeks I'll report on the progress of Mass. House bill H1892.
**3/31/14 update: There won't be any further progress on the bill during the current legislative session (that ends at the end of the year). I've learned that this effort requires a lot more work than an individual can contribute…it was a valuable experience, and the door is open to file a revised version of the bill in future legislative sessions.
Safe, unsafe video games enter the classroomPosted: 10/25/2013 Filed under: Educational Video Games, Health Consequences, Results of safety testing | Tags: computer games, flash, Minecraft, photosensitive epilepsy, seizures, video games, World of Warcraft Leave a comment
Playing video games during school used to be against the rules, but not anymore. In fact, more students play them in school now, and not necessarily because they're bored. Popular video games are being brought by teachers into the classroom as teaching tools.
While parents can monitor which games their kids play at home, when an entire class is working on projects in Minecraft—as part of the history curriculum–parents may not know or have any say in the matter. If parents have concerns about the teacher's choice of games, they're typically thinking about age appropriateness of content or the amount of violence depicted. The likelihood of particular games triggering seizures is unlikely to be on anyone's mind. Shouldn't the games our kids are exposed to during school pass tests for seizure safety?
Some years ago I observed my daughter in math class using an educational application to practice "math facts." She had nothing to do after she'd finished the in-class assignment, so she was sitting in front of a program that ran a flashy screen sequence to reward students for getting a certain number of answers correct. We had already requested that she not be exposed to computer screens during school. I began to wonder what other video games were being used in school and whether they might possibly provoke seizures.
Since then computer use in schools and elsewhere has grown tremendously. Teachers are increasingly incorporating more complex games into the curriculum to engage students and provide more creative, immersive, open-ended learning experiences. Using World of Warcraft, Minecraft, Civilization, and other games teachers are providing instruction in such diverse skills as problem-solving, collaboration, resource management, narrative style, and inference, and in subjects such as government, history, and language arts. This trend is expected to grow as more teachers enter the workforce who grew up playing these immersive games.
Which of these games are safe?
Recognizing the opportunity for a huge new market and a promising approach to raising student engagement and performance, video game companies and teachers are now collaborating on developing school-friendly versions of popular games. The education consultancy TeachThought recommends six video games as platforms teachers can use to enrich instruction in any content area at any grade level:
The Elder Scrolls IV: Skyrim
Civilization V – one minor safety violation in about a dozen gameplay clips and trailers.
Fallout 3
Portal 2
Armadillo Run
Heavy Rain
Using the Harding Flash and Pattern Analyzer, I tested these six for compliance with internationally developed guidelines for image safety for individuals with photosensitive epilepsy. Only one game—Armadillo Run—had real potential to trigger seizures. Surprisingly, it's also the only game in this group that has no fiery explosions, villains, or monsters that typically generate the problem flashes in video games. Instead it's a puzzle game showing simulated action of shapes and patterns, with a clean and appealing illustration style. Without actually testing a game for seizure safety, you can't make assumptions about what's safe and what isn't.
When I previously tested World of Warcraft and other MMORPGs, and again in more extensive recent tests, I didn't find a seizure problem. Minecraft, however, contains images that can trigger seizures in individuals with photosensitive epilepsy.
With so many games to choose from, there's no telling which will be incorporated into classroom instruction and homework. And teachers (as well as students, parents, and doctors) don't know which games are seizure safe. (Most game companies probably don't know, either.) When choosing video games as teaching tools, teachers are likely to be swayed by other factors: their level of familiarity with the game, recommendations of colleagues, the relevance of story lines to the curriculum, and the degree of age appropriateness for their students.
How to get people to pay attention to the image safety issue? More on that in my next post.
Grand Theft Auto V looks seizure-safePosted: 09/27/2013 Filed under: Photosensitive Seizure Prevention, Results of safety testing | Tags: computer games, flash, flicker, Grand Theft Auto, photosensitive epilepsy, seizures, video games 2 Comments
Say what you like about the just-released Grand Theft Auto V, but it's not likely that the game will trigger seizures. You'd think an action-adventure game like this would be full of bright screen flashes that pose a seizure risk. I tested a lot of trailers and game play clips and didn't find any scenes with unsafe-for-seizures visuals. Your results could vary, of course.
But I've got a hunch the folks at developer Rockstar Games are making the effort to make the game safe. In a few instances the flash level got close to the safety limit, but didn't go past it, which makes me think the developers know where the official limit is (3 or more flashes per second) and have decided to respect it. While it's possible that someone could, under the right circumstances, experience a seizure even when the flash level is near but below the danger zone, the chances of that happening aren't high.
Unlike many immersive games with missions and quests, GTA isn't set in an exotic fantasy world, where art directors might claim the need for artistic freedom (to use whatever visual effects they deem necessary). It's not full of bright, flashing explosions. The appeal of the game is in the very down-to-earth characters, story lines, and realistic settings–not the quality of the visual experience.
Grand Theft Auto has evolved quite a bit since its beginnings as an arcade shooting game in 1997. The visual style of earlier versions, from 2001 GTA III and prior, is noticeably more jarring: jumpier, more flash, and indeed, a GTA III trailer failed the safety test.
Guidelines for seizure-free video sequences were developed more than 20 years ago in the UK in response to seizures provoked by TV. In 2005 the International Telecommunication Union, an agency of the United Nations, published recommended guidelines for reducing photosensitive seizures from television. These guidelines for safe flash rates and pattern movement could be applied to any screen-based media. I tested downloaded trailers for compliance with the safety guidelines using an application designed for this, the Harding Flash and Pattern Analyzer.
In its first three days after its launch last week, the game grossed a billion dollars in sales, setting a record for any kind of entertainment release. So much for the argument that making games safe will spoil all the appeal and fun.
Actually, maybe revealing that the game won't cause seizures is not good PR for the company. Somehow a safe game doesn't seem in keeping with GTA's guys-will-be-guys attitude. Maybe Rockstar would prefer that customers don't realize the game seems to lack seizure-provoking images. The average GTA player may not want to feel that the game has been "softened" in any way. In GTA culture, playing a seizure-safe game is probably for wimps.

Re: Official DVD/Match/Show Discussion Thread
WM23 still remains as my personal favorite MITB followed by WM21.
Had a huge Royal Rumble itch yesterday so...
Royal Rumble 1999
Quick Thoughts: This was really the Austin/McMahon show, which was both a pro and con. Undercard was forgettable but the WWF Heavyweight Title match is well documented. The Rumble itself like I said was the Austin/McMahon show, no one in the match was considered a threat to Austin other than McMahon so it was guaranteed they'd be the final two. A solid show mainly highlighted by Rock/Foley & a decent, but very predictable Rumble match.
Road Dogg vs. The Big Boss Man- **
Mr. Ass vs. Ken Shamrock- **3/4
X-Pac vs. Gangrel- * (Very short)
Sable vs. Luna (Strap Match)- *1/2
The Rock vs. Mankind (I Quit Match)- ****1/4
Royal Rumble Match- **3/4
Royal Rumble 2000
Quick Thoughts: One of my favorite Rumbles. Tazz still holds one of the top debuts in wrestling history. Hardys/Dudleys put on an insane Tables Match which somehow managed to get topped by HHH/Foley. Bikini Contest was fun (could've done without Mae Young), Triple Threat was decent and Tag Title match was short. The Rumble match was good, unfortunately it didn't hold up for me. HUGE step up from 99 in overall quality.
Kurt Angle vs. Tazz- **
Dudley Boyz vs. Hardy Boyz (Table Match)- ****1/4
Miss Royal Rumble 2000 Bikini Contest- N/A
Chyna vs. Chris Jericho vs. Hardcore Holly- **
New Age Outlaws vs. The Acolytes- *
Triple H vs. Cactus Jack (Street Fight)- ****3/4-*****
Royal Rumble Match- ***1/2
Royal Rumble 2001
Quick Thoughts: This was a great show on par with/above last years. This year was more consistent with a solid undercard and an absolutely amazing ladder match; overbooking killed the Heavyweight Title match though. A great Rumble Match and huge step up from previous years. Personally, Kane made this match for me.
Edge & Christian vs. Dudley Boyz- ***1/2
Chris Benoit vs. Chris Jericho (Ladder Match)- ****
Ivory vs. Chyna- *
Kurt Angle vs. Triple H- ***1/4
Royal Rumble Match- ****
Royal Rumble 2002
Quick Thoughts: A very solid show. No standout undercard match this year but some solid stuff overall. The Rumble Match is the real highlight probably my top 5 RR match; everything from the interactions, starpower, consistency and drama put this over the top for me just a fantastic rumble match, predictability aside.
Spike Dudley & Tazz vs. Dudley Boyz- **
Edge vs. William Regal- ***1/4
Trish Stratus vs. Jazz- *1/4
Ric Flair vs. Mr. McMahon (Street Fight)- **1/2
Chris Jericho vs. The Rock- ***3/4
Royal Rumble Match- ****1/2+
Royal Rumble 2006
Quick Thoughts: Meh show, Rumble placement was questionable but that shows you how much they care for Rey Jr. Some decent stuff, nothing blowaway but a good deal of bad too which really drags the show. The Rumble match was decent, but Triple H's performance was grand he pretty much carried the brunt of the match on his back, that's fucking impressive.
Kid Kash vs. Helms vs. Funaki vs. Noble vs. Nunzio vs. London- **1/4
Mickie James vs. Ashley Massaro- *1/4
JBL vs. The Boogeyman-
Royal Rumble Match- ***1/4
Edge vs. John Cena- **1/4
Kurt Angle vs. Mark Henry- *3/4

umm... actually recovery time for a rhinoplasty takes a much longer time... so I kinda found it hard to believe... but anyway, she wanted to have something done regarding her problem with breathing, thats not the same procedure as the rhinoplasty. With the rhinoplasty the actual shape of the nose will change (Like Ms. Ashley)... so I do believe she could have had something done to improve, which do no takes that much time to heal.

This is ridiculous. If she did get a nose job, it would take at least a few weeks for the swelling to go down and she would most likely have bruising around the nose and eyes for a week to 10 days.

The Friday Mash (Sultan of Swat Edition)
A century ago today, George Herman "Babe" Ruth made his major-league debut. Starting on the mound for the Boston Red Sox, he defeated Cleveland, 4-3. By 1919, Ruth was moved to the outfield so he—and his potent bat—could be in the lineup every day. And the rest, as they say, is history.

The Friday Mash (Board Game Edition)
On this day in 1911, board game mogul Milton Bradley passed away. His eponymous company—Ludwig's been waiting to use that word–brought us The Game of Life, along with the ever-popular Yahtzee and Twister.
And now….The Mash!
We begin in Utah, where state liquor regulators are cracking down on festivals put on by for-profit groups. One potential casualty of the new policy is Snowbird Ski Resort's Oktoberfest celebration.

All aboard!

California's drought could make your Lagunitas IPA will taste different. The Russian River, which provides Lagunitas with its water, is drying up, and brewery might have to find another source.

The Friday Mash (Pygmalion Edition)
On this day in 1856, Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw was born. Shaw was also a journalist, a co-founder of the London School of Economics, and the only person awarded both the Nobel Prize for Literature and an Academy Award, the latter for the film version of his play Pygmalion.
And now….The Mash!

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is crying in his beer after his request for a Paulaner biergarten was turned down by the brewery.

This year's trend is session IPAs. Founders Brewing Company, best known for high-gravity stouts, announced that All Day IPA (4.5% ABV) has become its biggest seller.
Consumer alert: Big banks are jacking up the price of your six-pack by manipulating aluminum prices. How they do it is bizarre, and apparently legal.

The Friday (Sour) Mash
On this day in 1790, in Bourbon County, Kentucky, an American clergyman named Elijah Craig produced the first batch of whiskey distilled from corn. What better excuse to have a beer aged in a bourbon barrel?

If you're in the lower deck at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago, listen for Mark Reiner, the singing beer vendor. He sings his personalized spiels to the tune of pop songs any fan would recognize.
Crikey! Residents of a Melbourne, Australia, suburb discovered their cellphones weren't working. The problem? Radio waves emitted by a neighbor's beer fridge.
Finally, craft beer returns to television this fall. The new Esquire Network will air a show titled "BrewDogs" starring James Watt and Martin Dickie, the founders of–you guessed it–BrewDog.
The Friday Mash (Ball Four Edition)
On this day in 1939, Jim Bouton was born. Bouton, who pitched for the New York Yankees and several other clubs, is best known for Ball Four, a tell-all account of a major leaguer's life. The book, which infuriated the baseball establishment when it was published, has become a classic.
And now…Play Ball!

Celebrity chef Rick Bayless plans to create a new, Latin-themed beer. He's working with Crown Imports, the company that distributes Corona and Negra Modelo in the United States.
It's never too early to plan your beer travel, and Robin Fuchs, the founder of Beer Tours USA, has some suggestions: the five best small-brewery tours.
The 2013 Major League Soccer season is underway, and Portland Timbers fans can cheer their team on with Green & Gold Kolsch brewed by Widmer Brothers.
The Brewers Association has added Adambier and Grätzer to its Style Guidelines. The two newcomers bring the BA's list of recognized beer styles to 142.
Where is John Hall, the former brewmaster at Goose Island Brewing Company, these days? He owns the Virtue Cider Company in Fennville, Michigan.
Finally, if you're really lazy, and have $1,150 to blow, GrinOn Industries has something for you: an armchair that refills your beer from the bottom up. You'll still have to arrange your own trips to the bathroom.

Great destinations for taking a baby on holiday

Taking a baby on holiday in the USAAlthough the trip to the USA is a long one, upon your arrival, you will not have to worry about a thing. The baby facilities across the USA are exceptional, in restaurants, activity centres and at all the major attractions.
There are certain things needed for a baby's first holiday. Recommendations are that babies don't fly for 6 weeks after birth, which is perfect, as that is roughly how long it will take to get all the things needed for your baby's first holiday. Babies born after 1998 will need their own passport, and it is strongly advised that you get travel insurance and an E111 (for European travel). If you are worried about travelling with a baby on holiday, visit your GP to ensure you get any immunisations your baby may need as well as gaining important information and advice about things like sun cream factors, feeding and travelling whilst abroad. A list of baby essentials on holiday can be found at HolidayWithBaby.com.
Flying is usually seen as the biggest hurdle when travelling with a baby on holiday, but taking a baby on holiday abroad by air is not nearly as daunting as it may seem. Airlines, including British Airways will take babies after 48 hours of birth, (if you feel up to it), but guidelines recommend waiting for at least 4 weeks. Some airlines are more welcoming of babies, providing the essentials for babies on holiday, especially when the flights are not fully booked. BMI are often considered the best for going on holiday with a baby. If you pack a bag of baby holiday essentials for the flight, there should be few problems, as the sound of the engines usually puts babies to sleep, especially on night flights. Feeding during take off and landing will also help smooth your baby's experience, helping overcome sensitivity to changes in cabin pressure.

The roster of licensed club teams has also been bolstered, with Newcastle, Tottenham, RSC Anderlecht, HJK Helsinki, IFK Goteborg, Panathinaicos, Spartak Moscow, Fenerbache, NK Dinamo Zagreb and FC Basel added to the ranks.
PES 2008 is said to now feature over 3000 licensed players realistically replicated within the game, and over 250 teams.
