"Thom Yorke and Flea's new supergroup will play a Radiohead song at their upcoming debut gigs in Los Angeles., it's been revealed.LA Weekly is also reporting that their might be a secret Thom Yorke show at the Echoplex this Friday night, October 2.
The as-yet-unnamed band's drummer Mauro Refosco told Brazilian website Abril.com they will play Thom Yorke's 'The Eraser' album in its entirety, four new songs and one Radiohead track at the shows on Sunday and Monday (October 4 & 5).
It's rumoured the band will air Thom Yorke's song he wrote for the Twilight New Moon soundtrack, 'Hearing Damage', as one of the "new" songs." [gigwise]
The new Twilight soundtrack, as you may have heard, also includes tracks by many familiar names including Death Cab For Cutie, Muse, Sea Wolf, Grizzly Bear & Beach House's Victoria Legrand, Bon Iver & St. Vincent, and Editors...
Speaking exclusively to Gigwise, Editors frontman Tom Smith said: "The films aren't aimed at people our age but I look at the bands that we're next to on that soundtrack and it's just a good thing.Cover art and tracklist below...
"It's not selling out, it's not putting your song on an advert or selling a product.
"It's just being part of something that, to me, as collective seems like a pretty attractive thing."
New Moon is the second instalment of the vampire franchise, which stars British actor Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.

'And for like ten minutes she would just do these fucking amazing animal yelps and screams and growling and all this shit.'
Its a beautiful warm Sunday morning at Kutscher's and Wayne Coyne is waiting for me in a golf cart near the main stage. Clad in his trademark light colored suit, I shake his hand and exchange pleasantries. Then he notices that I'm with photographer Ryan Muir.
"You want to take some pictures? Lets head to the pool."
One problem. The pool is separated by a chain-link fence and there is no way around.
"Let's just jump it" Wayne says, but he's already on the other side.
Wayne is a gracious, charismatic ringmaster/shaman who is up for anything, as long as it leaves a lasting impression, much like the lovable oddballs The Flaming Lips that he fronts.
Starting over 25 years ago as an acid-drenched punk band with a Butthole Surfers obsession, The Flaming Lips have aged gracefully into their current role as quirky pop elder statesmen by keeping their punk rock spirit and freak-out tendencies. 1999's The Soft Bulletin began the band's current trajectory towards poignant and epic melodies, which continues with the release of their new LP Embryonic. It impacts record stores on October 13th, and you can listen to it now courtesy of the Colbert Report.
As you probably heard, The Flaming Lips were invited to headline All Tomorrow's Parties New York (ATP NY) as well as curate the final day of shows at the festival this year. We sat with the Oklahoma native on that sunday (9/13), while a team of men in orange jumpsuits (read: The Lips crew) carted around giant lighting sets, trashcans filled with stuffed animals, and yeti costumes....

Radiohead's Phil Selway to release solo album while Phil Collins is recovering so he can hopefully drum again
"Let's see how long it takes BV to mention that Phil Collins will never drum again." - Anonymous
In the UK press today, there appeared some articles about Phil's physical state, with some slightly misleading headlines. Here, in Phil's own words, are how he describes his situation:In other drummers named Phil news, NME reports that "Radiohead drummer Phil Selway has announced that he is set to release a solo album."
"There isn't any drama regarding my 'disability' and playing drums.
Somehow during the last Genesis tour I dislocated some vertebrae in my upper neck and that affected my hands. After a successful operation on my neck, my hands still can't function normally.
"Maybe in a year or so it will change, but for now it is impossible for me to play drums or piano. I am not in any 'distressed' state, stuff happens in life."
Selway, who sings on the album, is currently in the process of recording the as-yet untitled record in his band's Oxfordshire studio.No release date or any more details yet. A video of Phil McKenna playing drums, below...
He enlisted the services of Wilco members Glenn Kotche and Pat Sansone to play on the project, and multi-instrumentalist solo artist Lisa Germano and bass player Sebastian Steinberg have also contributed.

STREAM: Regina Spektor - Laughing With (WINDOWS, QUICKTIME)
Radiohead have gone back into the studio to start work on the follow-up to their 2007 album In Rainbows.Listen to a new Regina Spektor song above. Listen to a new David Byrne EP below...
"We just went in last week," bassist Colin Greenwood said. "It was really good. It was really noisy and chaotic and really fun."
But the group do not have fully formed songs yet, he said.
"We're at the stage where we've got the big Lego box out and we've tipped it out on the floor and we're looking at all the bits and thinking, what next?"
The new album, which will be their eighth, will again see producer Nigel Godrich work with the band. [BBC]

an interview w/ Jonah Matranga of Far (who are back with more tour dates & a new album on Vagrant Records)
by Black Bubblegum
Jonah Matranga & Ian Love at Gershwin Hotel (more by Tim Griffin)
Jonah Matranga of Far/onelinedrawing/New End Original fame has scheduled a solo show at Mercury Lounge on May 21st. Tickets are on sale.
Jonah might be playing that and a few more shows (listed below) solo, but - even more than before - Far is back...
Vagrant Records is proud to announce that Far has signed to the label. The recently reunited quartet is currently wrapping up their fifth full-length release in The Airport studio in Southern California with producer and guitarist Shaun Lopez at the helm and an early spring release date is expected.Far has added a few new West Coast shows in May and June, including one opening for Kings of Leon in Santa Barbara, CA. All dates below, but nothing on the east coast yet.
"We had no idea all this would happen," says vocalist Jonah Matranga. "We were just planning on getting to know each other again and playing a few shows... all of a sudden, the songs are coming, and it feels really good."
In the tail end of last year (while he was here for that Gershwin Hotel show), we caught up with Jonah Matranga and asked him about Far, his solo venture(s), and what it means to be back in lock-step with the guys again. Check out that interview below.
Meanwhile, some of Jonah's bandmates in New End Original are getting their old band back together as well. Split Lip, which became Chamberlain in 1995, will reunite with all original members to play a handful of shows in their native midwest, and eventually, the east coast. Tour dates are below.
The dates coincide with the re-issue of Chamberlain's emo-influential Fate's Got A Driver LP on color vinyl with bonus tracks.
Chamberlain's Fate's Got a Driver delivers more emotion in its 30 minutes than most bands do over the course of a career. The record is thought provoking and musically adventurous, a rare feat for a band whose members were barely past twenty when it was recorded. With nods to the Everyman side of Sunny Day Real Estate and the insistent melodicism of Fugazi, Fate's Got a Driver consistently impresses. It's all the product of lead guitarist Adam Rubenstein's thick, Fugazi-style progressions and David Moore's highly poetic lyrics... An amazing achievement by such a relatively young band. -[allmusic]Jonah discusses Lupe Fiasco, Sepultura, Fort Minor, Radiohead, and more, in the interview below...

The Decemberists' fifth album, The Hazards of Love, is in stores tomorrow, but the self titled debut of Fever Ray (side project of The Knife's Karin Elisabeth Dreijer Andersson) is my favorite new release of the week.
From what I have already heard, I can also recommend Amadou & Mariam's Welcome To Mali, 1990s' Kicks, Harlem Shakes' Technicolor Health, Jeremy Jay's Slow Dance, Mono's Hymn to the Immortal Wind, and Swan Lake's Enemy Mine.
Three Radiohead studio albums have been remastered and are out tomorrow. The Bends, OK Computer, and Pablo Honey all come with a bonus CD of outtakes and rarities, and also are available in deluxe editions that include a DVD.
Aside from the Radiohead remastered editions, the remastered Serge Gainsbourg classic album Histoire de Melody Nelson is wonderfully packaged and lovingly restored (especially the vinyl edition).
What new releases can you recommend? Have I left anything off the list?

"A week after Miley Cyrus shared with the world her plans to 'ruin' Radiohead after they snubbed the young starlet at the Grammy Awards, the band has responded to the singer's threat... The band wasn't amused by her story. 'When Miley grows up, she'll learn not to have such a sense of entitlement,' the band told the new issue of Us Weekly in a statement." [MTV]
"Dozens of investors who came to federal court in New York to hear Bernard Madoff's admission that he ran a $65 billion Ponzi scheme in which he lied and stole for decades applauded his jailing." [Bloomberg]
"Yet Miley is not the only star that has a beef with the band. Kanye West is another temperamental superstar who was also snubbed by the band. West told audiences at his VH1 Storytellers taping that he too was dissed by the band at the Grammy Awards" [andPOP]

Prince will perform on three consecutive nights on the NBC program as he girds for the release of a pair of new albums.

This week in Music Licensing (Duffy, Justice, Sonic Youth, Franz Ferdinand, Radiohead, Sea Ray & more...)
by Ryan Barkan
Duffy @ Lollapalooza 2008 (more by Bao Nguyen)
The cola war has been heating up globally in the last couple of months with music as the weapon of choice.
Pepsi's image rebranding campaign, including a new smile-esque logo, launched right after Christmas with a tv commercial featuring The Apples in Stereo song, "Energy". They then went deep during the Super Bowl, dropping a spot featuring Bob Dylan and Will.I.Am singing "Forever Young" as the beverage's new anthem.
Coke counters with a European spot for Diet Coke that features a playful Duffy doing things on her time during an encore break at a concert. In the commercial, she sings a cover of Sammy Davis Jr's "I Gotta Be Me."
When Sara Tate, a senior planner at the London advertising agency Mother, was asked to find a new face for Diet Coke, she knew what she didn't want. "Definitely no rent-a-face," says Tate, whose ad with Duffy will launch on British television, before rolling out across Europe. "We steered clear of yet another glamorous star with a six-figure fee who will promote anything if the price is right. The public is getting smart to that. We wanted someone who is well known, but not hugely famous. Someone who is on the rise, for whom fame is recent enough that they remember what it is like to have a regular life. Duffy was a perfect fit because, although she is extremely successful, she's still incredibly down to earth." [Via Times Online]Duffy has since cleaned up at the Grammys, at the British version of the Grammys, and - per Paul McCartney's request, recorded a cover of his song "Live And Let Die" for the new War Child Heroes comp that is released in the US this week. You may have heard the Beck/Dylan track from the same album, when it was played during the credits of last night's Oscars (more on the Oscars in a second...).
Coke's second attack is from Justice - Coke enlisted the duo along with Ed Banger Records' So_Me to design a glow-in-the-dark bottle and provide the soundtrack, their massive jam "D.A.N.C.E.", to a commercial. The bottle will be available in clubs throughout Europe. See the bottle in the commercial below.
The third assault from the Coke comes in their Full Throttle NHRA spots; three of the five have licensed songs: The Faces has "Blue Moon" by the Mavericks, The Machine kicks it country with Merle Haggard's "Working Man Blues", and Left Behind features Operator Please's "Zero Zero."
The final wave occurred as I was writing this article. A one-two punch during the Oscars with both The Boy Least Likely To's "Be Gentle With Me" and Sea Ray's "Revelry" showing up in Coke spots during the telecast on ABC (no video available yet). For those not familiar with the band, Sea Ray broke up in 2005.

A rumor is going around that Thom Yorke is here and possibly performing, but Men.Style.com says...
I've got some good news and some bad news for all you fashion, music, and fashion music fans. The bad news first: Despite the rumors Twittering around the Interwebs, Thom Yorke will not, in fact, be playing tomorrow's Rag & Bone show. The good news, however, is that the Radiohead singer did "curate" the tunes that'll accompany the models down the runway. Guess he's returning the favor after the nice bomber jacket the lads hooked him up with for the Grammys. (Notably, Lil Wayne also wore the brand last Sunday--who knows, maybe he's hard at work on a playlist for Spring 2010.) In any case, autograph seekers should leave the Sharpies at home, as I'm told Yorke won't even be at the show. (I assume the same's true for Wayne.)In other Thom Yorke
This is the second time Terminator Salvation came up recently. The first was because of Christian Bale freaking out.
Leave more party tips (if you have them) (preferably ones where bands are playing) in the comments.
TMZ can confirm that Chris Brown just entered an LAPD station, where he turned himself in to police.Radiohead did show up the Grammys, as did an even MORE pregnant M.I.A.. Robert Plant and Alison Krauss took best album (for an album that came out on indie label Rounder Records). Video of Radiohead and M.I.A.'s performances, and a list of all winners (including Daft Punk) below...
Chris is being investigated by the LAPD for an alleged domestic violence felony battery that occurred early this morning near Hancock Park in L.A. Police officials said earlier today they may arrest Brown when they found him. Well, now they know where he is.
According to the female victim -- who cops refuse to identify -- she and Chris got into an argument which turned violent. Cops say when they arrived to the scene, Brown had split, but the woman had "visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker."
Brown and his girlfriend Rihanna were together earlier last night, attending Clive Davis' pre-Grammy party -- and both canceled their scheduled performances at tonight's event.
Brown is currently being interviewed by detectives. [TMZ]

10. CLOUD CULT: "LUCKY TODAY" - ESURANCE.COMThis commercial came out late in 2008...though I think I only saw it one or two times. But thanks to an increase in rotation (January is the busiest month for car insurance!) partially influenced by the above placement in Ad Age, Esurance's Cloud Cult cartoon commercial has been on TV heavily over the past few weeks. The band shows up as animated characters in what comes off more as a music video for their 2005 song "Lucky Today", than as a sales pitch for insurance. A quick jump to Esurance's website and you can find a special Cloud Cult microsite where you can watch the commercial, stream/download a few songs, read why the band finds similarities in their and Esurance's love for being green, and learn how to be more eco-friendly.
It's a music video! It's an ad! It's a music videad! It's the band Cloud Cult, fully animated in a TV spot for Esurance, but there isn't a sales pitch to be found. The Minneapolis psychedelic-pop band had traditionally shunned marketers, but the DTC insurance company won them over with some hard-fought green credentials. The result is a charming spot that not only fits in with the visual style of the band, but also features one of Cloud Cult's best songs.
[Ad Age Ad Songs of the Year]
According to SoundScan, the band sold more individual digital downloads of "Lucky Today" (1,400) in the last week than they usually sell in a month from all albums...combined.
Other Notable Licensing News:
Radiohead gave gratis (aka free) permission to the National Coalition For The Homeless to use the song "MK1" in a spot that attempts to show homelessness can happen to anyone. (via Songs For Soap). This was their first commercial license ever. Watch the spot below.
Michael Stipe was cool with giving a gratis license for Amnesty International to use REM's "Until the Day Is Done" in a powerful new spot. Watch that below as well.
"In fact, it seems like the one thriving corner of the music business is ad placement. The only people making any money are the artists landing their songs in TV commercials and the royalties that come along with that, so the most successful bands this year will be the ones whose songs are most conducive to selling shit. Which means that Santogold is your Artist of the Year for 2009. Once the shampoo companies find out about 'I'm a Lady', forget about it. It's a wrap." [Tom Breihan in the new L Magazine]

[12:28] Mark_Pitchfork-666: that is something I have wondered about with this one, whether it will cross over to people who don't follow music as closely...my initial thought is that I'm a little bit skeptical of it happening, because there are still a lot of things about A.C. that are pretty strange...one thing with Radiohead, is that every album had least a few tunes that could fairly be described as "rock songs." you could tell what all the instruments were, there are guitars, etc., but that's not really true with this record.
You can listen to "My Girls" in the video below...

Front-end and back-end event management. Well thought out recurring event management (simpler than Jevents but did the trick for me). And of course we have the lovely looking calendar. Mods work well too- latest events is of course a necessity and easy to setup. I like the way the view categories is setup (my default view).
Clean and efficient.. 5 stars from me.
Looking forward to:
An event registration functionality (integrated to CB of course :-))

But what a nice guy Vince is... Pretty much instant support through his ticketing system. The time limited trial proposed by Vince is also the fairest way to try out quality components and in turn to support commercial products by buying them when 100% (it surely avoids dissapointed customers).

Dear Family and Friends,
For the first time I have created a team to invite all of you that thought that it might be cool to be part of something bigger than any of us. Join me for the marathon, or run the 10K, or join us virtually!
It seems a bit more challenging to prepare for this amazing event as I age (yeah, 60+ can create challenges), but I am humbled by the even greater challeneges that Jenna faces each and every day. Diabetes never takes a day off, and its long term effects when not dealt with can be devestating.
As a Dad, I need to do my part to contribute to the ever growing rate of research and treatment for Diabetes. Did you know that Diabetes is growing in young people at an alarming rate? I was shocked to read that it increased over 20% in 8 years and type 2 over 30% in the same period.
I want my daughter, and all the young people that are dealing with Diabetes to know that there is an army of us that care enough to do something.
I also recognize that all of you are bombarded with requests, all that I ask is if not this one, concider soemthing dear to your heart and put not jsut yoru money, but your heart and sole so that it can make a difference!
A few additonal facts:
Diabetes is one of the most common and serious chronic diseases in the United States. The incidence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes is rapidly increasing. 24 million Americans have diabetes, and 1 million more are diagnosed every year. This includes 15,000 children who are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes each year.
You can help!
All of the funds raised by the Diabetes Action Team will support research to prevent, treat, and cure diabetes. Every dollar counts so please donate what you can. Together, we can make a difference.
Thank You,
Ken Fagut

Mets General Manager Sandy Alderson was quite caustic about the fact that David Wright, who is having an MVP-type season to this point, was runner-up in the fan voting to be the National League's starting third baseman at the All-Star Game, held in Kansas City Tuesday night. Alderson wrote on his Twitter account, "A city of 800,000 outvoted a city of 8 million people," after San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval, who in fairness is having a very good season, was declared the winner.
Some of Wright's teammates wondered aloud if some technically savvy Giants fans who work in nearby Silicon Valley might have found a way to electronically stuff the ballot box. I asked Alderson, who used to work in the Bay Area when he served as general manager of the Oakland A's, if he thought that San Francisco Giants CEO Laurence Baer might have some buddies at one of the Cupertino tech firms who could have done him a favor.
"I have a clever response to that question but I had better keep it to myself," he quipped.
I doubt that the Justice Department will be investigating this matter.
The fact that Wright could not muster enough All-Star votes may be indicative of the Mets' disappointing attendance this year. The team has performed far better than expected but has been hard-pressed to draw 30,000 for most games. The park did sell out last Tuesday but that was because it was a fireworks promotion, and many Phillies fans came up to cheer for their team from Philadelphia, Bucks County, and southern New Jersey.
There is definitely a "show me" attitude amongst potential Mets ticket buyers. To paraphrase Mets CEO Fred Wilpon, they want to see meaningful games in August, if not September. Cynical Mets fans are still upset that their team dropped five of six games to the Yankees. Fair or not, the Subway Series is a referendum to many Mets fans as to the true state of the team. The poor performance against their Bronx rivals had to have hurt grassroots mobilization efforts for Wright, in addition to having a negative effect on Citi Field attendance.
During last Sunday's dreary 7-0 loss to the Cubs, Alderson expressed his admiration for the fine catching work of both Josh Thole and Mike Nickeas, even if their offensive prowess has been below par. Thole was gratified for his GM's support, but added "I have to drive in more runs in the second half of the season," following the game.
Movie star, Jackson Heights native and huge Mets fan John Leguizamo made a promotional appearance at Citi Field last Friday night on behalf of "Continental Drift," the latest installment of the popular animated "Ice Age" film series. Leguizamo is the voice of Sid the Sloth. Forest Hills native Ray Romano and former South Ozone Park resident Nicki Minaj also lend their voices to the film.
ESPN had some nerve showing the annual July 4 Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest on a three-hour tape delay in order to show tennis matches from Wimbledon. Where is the Worldwide Sports Leader's sense of patriotism on Independence Day when millions of us want to cheer on Joey Chestnut, who is one of the greatest living Americans, according to the contest's promoters, Shea Communications?! My guess is that Shea is going to have to bury the hatchet with longtime Mustard Belt champ Takeru Kobayashi in order to get ESPN to show the Coney Island event live again.
It is fitting that the Mets placed relief pitcher Pedro Beato's locker next to that of outfielder and Whitestone native Mike Baxter. Beato, who grew up in Ozone Park, is thrilled to be back in his family home after rehabilitating his injured shoulder at the Mets' Florida complex in Port St. Lucie and then pitching for the team's Triple-A farm club, the Buffalo Bisons.
Baxter is recuperating from shoulder woes of his own after valiantly catching Yadier Molina's line drive smash and crashing into the left field wall to preserve Johan Santana's June 1 no-hitter. Mike was honored at Citi Field with proclamations last week from both state Sen. Tony Avella and Councilman Dan Halloran.
Mets second baseman Daniel Murphy, who had regained his hitting stroke after growing a mustache and now a beard, is debating whether to start the second half of the season clean-shaven.
File this under the banner of "I heard it through the grapevine": According to the California Raisin Board, a scientific survey shows that raisins can lower blood pressure.
Similarly cinnamon has been proven to reduce cholesterol. General Mills has just introduced Apple Cinnamon Chex, which has the added benefits of being gluten-free as well as rich in fiber. Kellogg's has also jumped on the cinnamon bandwagon with Cinnamon Almond Raisin Bran.

Nanostructures are all around us but what exactly are they and how are they used? The Greek word "nano" translates as "little man." In metric measurement it means 1 billionth. Nanostructures are between 1 and 100 nanometers (nm) in dimension, larger than a molecule but smaller than a microscopic object. To put it into context, a nanostructure is one hundred thousand times thinner than a human hair [source: Choy].
Nanostructures occur in nature. Scientists are also engineering them at an incredible pace. The study of nanostructures draws people in from disciplines including physics, biology and engineering. From medical applications to clean energy solutions, nanostructures are taking the world of science and technology by storm.
10. Nanotechnology
The birth of nanotechnology is credited to Richard Feynman and his defining talk "There's Room at the Bottom." Nanotechnology, also known as molecular robotics, is taking center stage in the world of nanostructures. It's commonly defined as "the manipulation or self-assembly of individual atoms, molecules, or molecular clusters into structures to create materials and devices with new or vastly different properties [source: Joseph and Morrison].
The largely hypothetical field of nanorobotics holds amazing possibilities for disease management. Nanotechnologies are also being developed that will allow for more efficient space travel and provide cleaner energy sources. The possibilities are limited only by our imagination. Yet nanotechnology is not without controversy. The field is new and it's not yet known what negative health and environmental effects could result [source: Goldman and Coussens].
9. Fossils, Now Available in Color!
Fossils can tell amazing stories. A team of paleontologists from Yale University found preserved color-producing nanostructures in fossilized feathers. These feathers, which are more than 40 million years old, were taken from the Messel Shale fossil pit near Odenwalk, Germany. When looked at under an electron microscope, the feathers displayed a bright, iridescent array of colors. The green, blue and copper colors came from a very thin layer of melanosomes, part of the nanostructures preserved on the surface of the feathers [source: Leonard].
This discovery of fossilized color-producing nanostructures is the first of its kind. Scientists are hoping to use this knowledge to reconstruct the colors of the feathered dinosaurs and maybe even the fur colors of long extinct mammals [source: Leonard].
8. Smarter Living Spaces
One day you might be able to change the shape of everyday objects to suit your needs and tastes. The Living Kitchen Project by Michaël Harboun is working toward creating spaces that are, for lack of a better word, alive. Claytronics, the concept behind the Living Kitchen Project, involves nano-sized robots. In theory, these nanobots could join together to form 3D objects that have digital capabilities. In other words, it's programmable matter [source: Worlton]. You would be able to trace any object you need and it would appear on the wall instantaneously [source: Fahey]. The amazingly cool factor of Claytonics aside, such technology would reduce clutter and cut down on appliances. Why buy what you need when you could draw a working one?
7. Science Fiction and Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology has been the fodder for hundreds of story lines over the years. While concepts like tiny robots that can travel through the human body have become reality, others have remained firmly in the world of fiction. It's worth taking a look backward to see what's in front of us.
The Borg Collective of the "Star Trek" franchise is nanotechnology evil at its best. The Borg invade planets and space ships, assimilating humans into their "hives" using nanoprobes. Stripping their victims of "useless emotions" and other individual characteristics, the Borg attempt to parlay their technical superiority into galactic dominance.
Kim Exler Dexter's Gray Goo, from his popular book "Engines of Destruction," foretells of a future taken over by nanorobots gone amok. As they convert organic material into gray goo, things take a turn for the worse.
While the probability of human-gobbling goo or artificial intelligence one day overtaking the world is remote, it's still fun to think about. That said, real-life nanotechnology raises real questions about safety.
6. Nanofood
What is nanofood? Food that uses nanotechnology at any point during its production process is considered nanofood [source: FDA]. There are 600 nanofoods on the market today including a variety of canola oil that can block cholesterol from entering the bloodstream [source: PEN]. Ideas for tomorrow are growing at a rapid rate. They include:
- Chocolate milkshakes that taste better and are more nutritious than their non-nano counterparts
- Bread containing nanocapsules that disperse omega-3 fatty acids
- Interactive food that allows you to choose the taste and color
- Smart packaging that prolongs shelf life and minimizes chance of contamination
The arrival of nanofoods hasn't gone unnoticed. Controversy swirls around its relatively seamless integration into our food supply. Proponents of nanofood see it as a solution to such problems as global hunger and food safety. Critics hold that safety concerns and environmental impacts have been outpaced by rapid nanofood engineering, going largely ignored by large corporations and slipping under consumer radar.
5. Nanostructures As Art
Nanostructures offer the ability to engineer technical marvels as well as create stunning pieces of art. Museums around the world have installations dedicated to this genre. Using scanning electron microscope photography, artist Christian Orfescu creates abstract landscapes. He calls his work "nanoart" and has been organizing annual competitions for other artists working with nanostructures [source: The New York Times].
"Nanoart" is also being used to cross from science to art and back again. At the University of Cambridge, nanostructure photography reveals "complex amorphous and crystalline material" that in turn may lead to the creation of a new material. This new object may have future applications to electronic and photonics devices [source: Ho].
4. Nanorobots
Nanorobots are one of the hottest developments in nanomedicine. In the not-so-distant future these tiny objects may responsible for curing deadly diseases with minimal side effects. Current research points to nanorobots that could be used to target and destroy tumors, deliver medicine to specific points in the body or break up blood clots. How they'll move will depend on the design. Ideas include an internal power source or using the patient's body to generate power. Sperm are even being considered to send these tiny bots all around the body [source: Nelson].
Nanobots aren't the only game in town. Scientist at MIT and Harvard have just engineered particles they're calling nanoburrs that adhere to artery walls and release medicine [source: Gaudin].
3. Space Travel
Space elevators with cables made from resilient carbon nanotubes (CNT) are one possibility for efficient and cost effective space travel. In theory, these cables would be used to tether an elevator to the ground, eliminating the cost and energy use of transporting cargo via ship [source: NASA Science News].
The health of astronauts is a primary concern in space travel. Self-mending spacesuits with two layers of nanorobots have been proposed by researchers. The first layer would be able to self-mend issues like punctures to a spacesuit. The second layer would be able to administer medications in emergencies [source: Boysen]. Spacesuits won't be the only things that can heal themselves. Lightweight spacecraft made from nanotube composites would allow for more efficient travel. Instead of rocket fuel, solar sails made from thin layers of nanotubes would reflect light, propelling the space ship. There is the possibility of self-mending space ships repairing structural damage themselves [source: Boysen].
2. Power Up with Nano Flakes
Nano flakes sound like something we'd eat but they're not; what they may be is the next generation of clean energy production. Nano flakes are semi-conducting nanostructures that can absorb the sun's energy more efficiently and cheaply than current solar panels. The scientists working on this project, which is in the prototype stage, believe nano flakes will be able to convert up to 30 percent of solar energy into electricity. That's approximately twice the amount of electricity produced by solar panels [source: Science Daily].
The jury's still out on whether nano flake solar cells can actually be put in production, but one thing's for sure -- nanotechnology is pushing the envelope when it comes to producing clean energy.
1. Nature's Nanocreatures
Marine algae, known as diatoms, contain light-bending nanostructures that convert sunlight into energy needed for reproduction. Scientists think replicating these structures could help develop biosynthetic devices such as a light-activated drug delivery system [source: Mitchell].
Lotus plants have an amazing ability to repel water from their smooth leaves, thanks to hydrophobic wax crystals about 1 nanometer in size. Water rolls off, taking dirt with it, making the lotus a "self-cleaning" plant. Scientists are using this concept to engineer more sustainable cleaning sprays. Another goal? The self-cleaning shoe [source: Kalaugher].
The beautiful blue wings of the Morpho Rhetenor butterfly of Brazil are the result of layers of nanostructures. These nanostructures absorb light and reflect a wavelength creating an "optical interference" and the resplendent blue we see. Laboratories can use this same process to analyze light [source: Martin]. It may also be possible to replicate the construction of nanostructures in butterflies' wings to create improved "optic effects" in products like paint and varnish [source: Science Daily].

Ch. 5-6: How the Categories Shape the Conversation
The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.

The words we use to talk about the Bible and science often predispose us towards unnecessary conflicts.
If discussions of science and religion sometimes get bogged down in Genesis, perhaps that is because they have not made the preparatory journey through the rich material of the Wisdom books.
Ted Davis traces the interesting (and often disturbing) history of how Christians have used evolutionary science to justify un-Christian views, and makes some suggestions about a better relationship between science and Christian faith.
From a Judeo-Christian perspective, all of these curiosities dovetail into a profoundly meaningful explanation: Being made in God's image helps to explain our creative and investigative skills, particularly when we consider that God has specially engineered this universe to reveal himself to human beings.
This weeks in Origins news: studies of a skeleton uncovered in 2007 provide clues about rapid human evolution in the Americas, our climate and Christian stewardship, a few BioLogos folks give interviews, and some cool links to miscellaneous finds.
We must press beyond the various creation narratives in the Hebrew Bible, including the final chapters of Job, to the picture of God revealed in the New Testament—the Creator who does not rationally explain away the scandal of suffering but who instead enters into it.
This week in our Origins News Roundup: News of new nucleobases, the future of synthetic biology, and some healthy dialogue and critique of certain aspects of modern science.
Today's Origins News Roundup features a tour of trending topics in neuroscience, from commentaries and questions made recently by popular media to developments in neuroengineering and the BRAIN initiative.
What we do learn from scripture is that there is only one Creator and that there's a clear distinction between God and the created world. And that we who are created in the image of God are able to investigate a creation that is remarkably tuned for our discovery.
The BioLogos Book Club discussion of Francis Collins' The Language of God.
We can understand why man, modern man in particular, would like to mop the floors and bleach the walls. We might not be able to tame reality, but we can tame our perception of reality. We intellectualize in order to feel in control.
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
"I believe it is fair to conclude that the supposed threat posed to human free will and moral responsibility from the very much work-in-progress social and cognitive human sciences is quite overblown."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
The problem is that as human beings, we know that goodness exists, so it must be accounted for, and if one is a staunch believer in scientism, it must be accounted for scientifically.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."

CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. When federal investigators decided to look into whether Google Inc. was letting rogue pharmacies from overseas target American consumers with advertising, they turned to a convicted con artist with experience pushing pills on the Internet.
That man, David Whitaker, says he became a pill peddler to support his life on the lam - hawking placebos and tiny water vials online that became a hit with bodybuilders searching the Internet for steroids and other drugs. Now serving a prison sentence for fraud, Whitaker says he spends a lot of time thinking about "the people hurt by the pill problem in America."
In an interview with The Associated Press at a private prison in Central Falls, Whitaker, 37, described for the first time how he took up the online pharmacy business while hiding in Guadalajara, Mexico, from a federal indictment for a multimillion dollar fraud case in Rhode Island.
His experience helped federal investigators orchestrate a 2009 undercover sting that resulted in Google forfeiting $500 million last year. The forfeiture allowed Google to avoid criminal prosecution for allegations that it improperly profited from ads promoting Canadian pharmacies that illegally imported drugs into the United States. U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigators found employees helped create advertising on Google's AdWords system for products they were told were manufactured overseas and did not require customers to have a valid prescription, authorities have said.
"It really changed my life working with the agents with the FDA," said Whitaker, wearing beige, prison-issued clothing.
Businesses using AdWords select keywords for advertising. When people search on Google using a business's keyword, that ad may appear next to the search results.
Shipping prescription drugs into the U.S. is illegal, investigators have said. When the forfeiture was announced, Rhode Island U.S. Attorney Peter F. Neronha said had the case gone to trial prosecutors would have had to prove that Google helped pharmacies violate federal law.
The Internet search engine has said it banned the advertising of prescription drugs in the U.S. by Canadian pharmacies and that it should have never allowed the ads. In 2010, Google announced new restrictions for online pharmacies seeking to advertise with AdWords. A company spokeswoman declined to comment on Whitaker's account of the investigation.
Whitaker has posted a written account of the Google probe online and shares details about his jet-setting past, criminal history and bipolar disorder on a website that is maintained by his lawyer.
He also says he saw the Google representatives he was tasked with snaring as "good people," but the operation convinced him Google was creating an "urgent danger."
One Google representative in Mexico, he said, didn't bat an eye after hearing plans about advertising the prescription abortion pill RU-486. Whitaker said he thought the venture would end the investigation.
"I was actually nervous and afraid. My voice would get shaky talking to him," Whitaker said.
He was wrong. Authorities placed an ad for RU-486 including the language "no prescription needed."
Whitaker fled to Mexico in 2006 while being investigated for allegations he defrauded customers of an electronics business, according to an affidavit filed in federal court.

Families try to beat the heat
Updated On: Jul 27 2014 11:47:37 PM EDT
The heat is on and it seems almost impossible to escape it.
Waycross, Georgia, hit 100 degrees while Jacksonville saw a blistering 95...103 if you add in the humidity.
Downtown, people were looking for any way to beat the heat.
Enjoying Sunday outside required a lot of water, a little ice cream and even some umbrellas.
If you came across one intersection you may have thought it was some sort of mirage.
Throughout the day, people sought items to keep them hydrated and happy.
"We were sweating like two pigs in the mud. It was pretty rough out here, but it's kind of mellowed out now," said Anna Velez.
A heat advisory was in effect for Sunday.
On Monday the heat continues and there is a possibility for another heat advisory.
The Weather Authority recommends dressing light and staying hydrated.

Another study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, looked at human moods. Researchers followed 106 overweight people. Half followed a low-carb, very high-fat diet, and half ate a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet. After a year, both groups averaged about 30 pounds weight loss. And though both groups' moods improved after two months, only the low-fat, high-carb group kept up the good feelings. So what we eat doesn't just go to our waists—it also goes to our brains.Ok, both groups lost the same amount of weight, both groups improved their moods, but the high-carb group kept their better mood? My bullshit detector immediately jumped to 11.
So what exactly did this so-called high-fat group eat?
Participants on the LC diet were prescribed a dietary plan aimed at providing 4% of total energy as carbohydrate, 35% as protein, and 61% as fat (20% saturated fat), with the objective to restrict carbohydrate to less than 20 g/d for the first 8 weeks and with an option to increase to less than 40 g/d for the remainder of the study.41% of their diet was PUFA?!?! How did they even manage that? Were they guzzling corn oil? Yuck. No wonder they felt like crap.
Ok, this study has already been debunked in my mind. But wait, there's more:
The participants met individually with a qualified dietitian fortnightly during the first 8 weeks of the study and then monthly thereafter; the dietician provided detailed individualized dietary advice, meal plans, and recipe information pertaining to each diet. To facilitate dietary compliance, the participants were supplied with a selection of key foods (approximately 30% of total energy) that were representative of each diet's macronutrient profile fortnightly for the first 8 weeks, and then a A$40 food voucher was provided at each monthly diet visit during the remainder of the study. Both dietary patterns were also structured to include specific food quantities and weights to ensure that the correct macronutrient and energy requirements were achieved as previously described.They met with a 'qualified' dietitian every two weeks and were given a food voucher once a month to 'facilitate compliance'? 40 Aussie bucks a month to facilitate compliance? So we don't actually know if these participants were really guzzling their corn oil (LC) or munching down their 'heart healthy' whole wheat bread with skim milk (LF) or if they were just going out for beer and pizza every night.
And don't even get me started and what makes a dietitian supposedly qualified.
Am I done? No!
Another thing that pisses me off is self-reported happiness.
Mood was assessed using 3 validated questionnaires: (1) the POMS, which measures 6 separate aspects of mood, including tension-anxiety, depression-dejection, anger-hostility, vigor-activity, fatigue-inertia, and confusion-bewilderment, and provides a global score of mood disturbance (total mood disturbance score [TMDS]) that is determined by subtracting the vigor-activity score from the sum of the 5 negative mood factors;These self-reported measures of mood are total . . . oh wait they used three(!!!) validated questionnaires. We are supposed to believe that the only difference between a LC and LF diet (besides the fact that SFAs will kill you, of course) is that a low-carb diet makes you sad?
I'm so sick of hearing about which country is the self-reported happiest. I may not be the happiest person on Earth but at least I can think for myself. Steve Landsburgh has a great takedown of the idiocy of self-reported happiness and how these 'studies' are used as propaganda.
This is, of course, the perfect study to get picked up by the mainstream media. I don't know who else ran with it besides Scientific American but I wouldn't be surprised if it made the front page of the NY Times, the BBC, and was picked up by the AP and AFP. It's nothing short of propaganda as far as I'm concerned and people are dying or living degraded, unhealthy lives because of stuff like this. I'll close with a picture that sums up my opinion j-school graduates and their so-called reporting on science:

That Kilimanjaro feeling
Climbing Mt Kilimanjaro is one of life's great challenges and even when you're oxygen starved on the highest mountain in Africa you can apply the fourth rule of success and 'have fun'…
"They say it's all in the journey, not the destination, but when you talk to people about climbing Mt Kilimanjaro, they ask: how high is it? (5895 metres or 19,340 feet). Did you make it to the summit? (Yes). Did you get altitude sickness? (Moderately). What was the view like? (Great). But they don't ask much about the journey and what it was like during the walking before and after the summit. So let me tell you… it was fabulous!
Change of pace in Patagonia
Emily Mitterhuemer knows firsthand that trekking in Patagonia really puts you through your paces, but reaching your goals in this awe-inspiring region of South America has the greatest rewards…
"I know that hiking up a mountain is not for everyone, but bear with me for a moment. The feeling that you get when you have slogged your way up the toughest part of the trail and the perfect lookout point appears from over the ridge, is a particularly special one. It gives you a sense of accomplishment, not to mention privilege, to be in a hard to reach place that is difficult to achieve any other way. Patagonia is a particularly rewarding place to test your endurance and get back into shape (like you have been promising) with the added bonus of breathtaking scenery and the cleanest air imaginable.

"As a general rule, the more you train the easier it will be. But now sitting at my desk on the day before I leave I ask myself: am I ready and have I done enough training? The hardest part was trying to balance work, a social life and a respectable amount of exercise in one day. With only 3 months to prepare for my Nepal trek, it didn't give me long to get in shape. I chose a combination of aerobic training, leg strength exercises and loads of walking, but will I have the recipe for the perfect fitness regime?
