Mind Control & the Internet
World Wide Mind: The Coming Integration of Humanity, Machines, and the Internet
The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You
You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto
Early this April, when researchers at Washington University in St. Louis reported that a woman with a host of electrodes temporarily positioned over the speech center of her brain was able to move a computer cursor on a screen simply by thinking but not pronouncing certain sounds, it seemed like the Singularity—the long-standing science fiction dream of melding man and machine to create a better species—might have arrived. At Brown University around the same time, scientists successfully tested a different kind of brain–computer interface (BCI) called BrainGate, which allowed a paralyzed woman to move a cursor, again just by thinking. Meanwhile, at USC, a team of biomedical engineers announced that they had successfully used carbon nanotubes to build a functioning synapse—the junction at which signals pass from one nerve cell to another—which marked the first step in their long march to construct a synthetic brain. On the same campus, Dr. Theodore Berger, who has been on his own path to make a neural prosthetic for more than three decades, has begun to implant a device into rats that bypasses a damaged hippocampus in the brain and works in its place.
The hippocampus is crucial to memory formation, and Berger's invention holds the promise of overcoming problems related to both normal memory loss that comes from aging and pathological memory loss associated with diseases like Alzheimer's. Similarly, the work being done at Brown and Washington University suggests the possibility of restoring mobility to those who are paralyzed and giving voice to those who have been robbed by illness or injury of the ability to communicate. If this is the Singularity, it looks not just benign but beneficent.
Michael Chorost is a man who has benefited from a brain–computer interface, though the kind of BCI implanted in his head after he went deaf in 2001, a cochlear implant, was not inserted directly into his brain, but into each of his inner ears. The result, after a lifetime of first being hard of hearing and then shut in complete auditory solitude, as he recounted in his memoir, Rebuilt: How Becoming Part Computer Made Me More Human (2005), was dramatic and life-changing. As his new, oddly jejune book, World Wide Mind: The Coming Integration of Humanity, Machines, and the Internet, makes clear, he is now a cheerleader for the rest of us getting kitted out with our own, truly personal, in-brain computers. In Chorost's ideal world, which he lays out with the unequivocal zeal of a convert, we will all be connected directly to the Internet via a neural implant, so that the Internet "would become seamlessly part of us, as natural and simple to use as our own hands."
The debate between repair and enhancement is long-standing in medicine (and sports, and education, and genetics), though it gets louder and more complicated as technology advances. Typically, repair, like what those Brown, USC, and Washington University research teams are aiming to do for people who have suffered stroke, spinal cord and other injuries, neurodegeneration, dementia, or mental illness, is upheld as something good and necessary and worthy. Enhancement, on the other hand—as with performance drugs and stem cell line manipulation—is either reviled as a threat to our integrity and meaning as humans or conflated with repair until the distinction becomes meaningless.1
Chorost bounces over this debate altogether. While the computer in his head was put there to fix a deficit, the fact that it is there at all is what seems to convince him that the rest of us should become cyborgs. His assumption—it would be too generous to call it an argument—is that if that worked for him, this will work for us. "My two implants make me irreversibly computational, a living example of the integration of humans and computers," he writes. "So for me the thought of implanting something like a BlackBerry in my head is not so strange. It would not be so strange for a lot of people, I think."
More than a quarter-century ago, a science writer named David Ritchie published a book that I've kept on my bookshelf as a reminder of what the post-1984 world was supposed to bring. Called The Binary Brain, it extolled "the synthesis of human and artificial intelligence" via something he called a "biochip." "The possibilities are marvelous to contemplate," he wrote.
You could plug into a computer's memory banks almost as easily as you put on your shoes. Suddenly, your mind would be full of all the information stored in the computer. You could instantly make yourself an expert in anything from Spanish literature to particle physics…. With biochips to hold the data, all the information in the MIT and Harvard libraries might be stuffed into a volume no greater than that of a sandwich. All of Shakespeare in a BB-sized module…. You may see devices like this before this century ends.
"Remember," he says gravely, "we are talking here about a technology that is just around the corner, if not here already. Biochips would lead to the development of all manner of man-machine combinations…."
Twenty-six years later, in the second decade of the new millennium, here is Chorost saying almost the same thing, and for the same reason: our brains are too limited to sufficiently apprehend the world.2 "Some human attributes like IQ appear to have risen in the twentieth century," he writes, "but the rate of increase is much slower than technology's. There is no Moore's Law for human beings." (Moore's Law is the much-invoked thesis, now elevated to metaphor, that says that the number of components that can be placed on an integrated circuit doubles every two years.) Leaving aside the flawed equivalences—that information is knowledge and facts are intelligence—Chorost's "transmog" dream is rooted in a naive, and common, misperception of the Internet search engine, particularly Google's, which is how most Internet users navigate through the fourteen billion pages of the World Wide Web.
Most of us, I think it's safe to say, do not give much thought to the algorithm that produces the results of a Google search. Ask a question, get an answer—it's a straightforward transaction. It seems not much different from consulting an encyclopedia, or a library card catalog, or even an index in a book. Books, those other repositories of facts, information, and ideas, are the template by which we understand the Web, which is like a random, messy, ever-expanding volume of every big and little thing. A search is our way into and through the mess, and when it's made by using Google, it's relying on the Google algorithm, a patented and closely guarded piece of intellectual property that the company calls PageRank, composed of "500 million variables and 2 billion terms."
Those large numbers are comforting. They suggest an impermeable defense against bias, a scientific objectivity that allows the right response to the query to bubble up from the stew of so much stuff. To an extent it's a self-perpetuating system, since it uses popularity (the number of links) as a proxy for importance, so that the more a particular link is clicked on, the higher its PageRank, and the more likely it is to appear near the top of the search results. (This is why companies have not necessarily minded bad reviews of their products.) Chorost likens this to Hebbian learning—the notion that neurons that fire together, wire together, since
a highly ranked page will garner more page views, thus strengthening its ranking. [In this way]pages that link together "think" together. If many people visit a page over and over again, its PageRank will become so high that it effectively becomes stored in the collective human/electronic long-term memory.
Even if this turns out to be true, the process is anything but unbiased.
A Google search—which Chorost would have us doing in our own technologically modified heads—"curates" the Internet. The algorithm is, in essence, an editor, pulling up what it deems important, based on someone else's understanding of what is important. This has spawned a whole industry of search engine optimization (SEO) consultants who game the system by reconfiguring a website's code, content, and keywords to move it up in the rankings. Companies have also been known to pay for links in order to push themselves higher up in the rankings, a practice that Google is against and sometimes cracks down on. Even so, results rise to the top of a search query because an invisible hand is shepherding them there.
It's not just the large number of search variables, or the intervention of marketers, that shapes the information we're shown by bringing certain pages to our attention while others fall far enough down in the rankings to be kept out of view. As Eli Pariser documents in his chilling book The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding from You, since December 2009, Google has aimed to contour every search to fit the profile of the person making the query. (This contouring applies to all users of Google, though it takes effect only after the user has performed several searches, so that the results can be tailored to the user's tastes.)
The search process, in other words, has become "personalized," which is to say that instead of being universal, it is idiosyncratic and oddly peremptory. "Most of us assume that when we google a term, we all see the same results—the ones that the company's famous Page Rank algorithm suggests are the most authoritative based on other page's links," Pariser observes. With personalized search, "now you get the result that Google's algorithm suggests is best for you in particular—and someone else may see something entirely different. In other words, there is no standard Google anymore." It's as if we looked up the same topic in an encyclopedia and each found different entries—but of course we would not assume they were different since we'd be consulting what we thought to be a standard reference.
Among the many insidious consequences of this individualization is that by tailoring the information you receive to the algorithm's perception of who you are, a perception that it constructs out of fifty-seven variables, Google directs you to material that is most likely to reinforce your own worldview, ideology, and assumptions. Pariser suggests, for example, that a search for proof about climate change will turn up different results for an environmental activist than it would for an oil company executive and, one assumes, a different result for a person whom the algorithm understands to be a Democrat than for one it supposes to be a Republican. (One need not declare a party affiliation per se—the algorithm will prise this out.) In this way, the Internet, which isn't the press, but often functions like the press by disseminating news and information, begins to cut us off from dissenting opinion and conflicting points of view, all the while seeming to be neutral and objective and unencumbered by the kind of bias inherent in, and embraced by, say, the The Weekly Standard or The Nation.
1 For instance, if glasses are reparative, is Lasik surgery too? As William Saletan wrote years ago in Slate, is it still considered reparative when a famous golfer has surgery on his nearly perfect, but not quite perfect, eyesight so he can see the ball better? See "The Beam in Your Eye," Slate, April 18, 2005. ↩
2 According to Ritchie:
There was a time not too long ago... when a mathematician could be expected to know, if not master completely, all the branches of math. Now our mathematical knowledge is expanding so fast that even an expert in mathematics...could reasonably expect to know only about 10 percent of it all, at the very most. As long as we depend on the crude input systems of sight and hearing, and the limited storage capacity of our own natural brains, that 10 percent figure is likely to keep dropping.↩

In the Conga line of upcoming awards shows, one of the more delicate dances will be the public soft-shoe between Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Both are nominated for Golden Globes (leading nods for ''The Last Samurai'' and ''Cold Mountain,'' respectively); both plan to traipse the red carpet Jan. 25. Since the Globes are just the beginning of a season that seizes on the slightest tension for a juicy react shot, Cruise and Kidman promise to figure prominently. And we can expect the ex-power couple to start dancing as fast as they can.
Kidman and Cruise have already road-tested avoidance strategies. On the eve of their divorce, Kidman attended ''The Others''' premiere minus exec producer Cruise (who hit the red carpet with his producing partner, Paula Wagner). Alongside close friends Rebecca Rigg and Naomi Watts, Kidman arrived to shouts of ''Nicole! Nicole!'' At the 2001 Oscars (where Kidman was nominated for Moulin Rouge), Cruise skipped the carpet altogether but opened the ceremony as his ex watched. Then there are always the seating arrangements. ''Our wish would be not to embarrass either of them,'' says Lawrie Masterson, VP of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, on how he might rejigger the Globes' seating chart. So far, no request from Kidman or Cruise has come in, though ''[that] may happen in the next three weeks.''
Not a chance, if the Cruise and Kidman camps are to be believed. ''Tom will arrive when he wants to arrive [at the Globes],'' says a rep for Cruise. As for Kidman: ''We are not concerned about any of this,'' sniffs her rep, adding ''You all need to move on!'' The Academy, for one, hasn't. ''If Nicole Kidman wins [an Oscar], there will be a camera on Tom Cruise if I have to pull it off the stage,'' vows Louis J. Horvitz, director of eight Academy Awards shows, including the Feb. 29 broadcast. ''A shot like that is icing on the cake.''

Testing throughput between two Windows Servers with NT Testing TCP Tool
The NT Testing TCP Tool is a handy little tool for testing the throughput between two servers – and it's free! It's available to download here: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/network/TCP_tool.mspx
First, you need to install the MSI on both ends – for the sake of this, say SERVER1 and SERVER2. Once you've installed it on the server, navigate to \Program Files\Microsoft Corporation\NT Testing TCP Tool\, you should see a few copies of the tool for different architectures. Locate the correct .exe for you architecture and rename it to ntttcps.exe. Copy this and rename it to ntttcpr.exe – these form the sender and receiver parts of the tool.
Installing Exchange 2010 Edge Server with Forefront Protection for Exchange (FPE) and Threat Management Gateway (TMG) – Part 1
I am mid-migration, in a co-existence setup with Exchange 2010, 2007 and 2003. So far the roles installed for Exchange 2010 are CAS, Hub and Mailbox on a single server. Into this mix I need to introduce an Edge Server, with message hygiene in the form of Forefront Protection for Exchange (FPE) and Threat Management Gateway (TMG) as a reverse proxy to publish OWA, ActiveSync et-al.
Since Edge, FPE and TMG can now all exist on a single 64-bit server, I will start with a clean installation of Windows Server 2008 R2, up to date with all the latest hot fixes. The server itself is nothing too spectacular, for testing purposes it has 2 virtual CPUs and 2GB RAM. It does need 2 NICs, one on the internal LAN and one on the DMZ. Since the DMZ is behind a hardware firewall, an external IP address has been mapped to the servers DMZ NIC. The server is named EDGE01.
Unable to access Outlook Web Access (OWA) after installing Update Rollup 1, 2, 3 or 4 – flogon.js errors
If you're having trouble accessing OWA after updating Exchange 2010 with any of the Rollup packages, try this:
- Uninstall the update package from the Programs and Features control panel
- Download the package file directly from Microsoft, don't use Windows Update
- Open a command prompt or PowerShell prompt as Administrator
- Navigate to the location of the package (.msp) and run from the elevated command prompt.
Apparently when Windows update installs the package it doesn't run it with the elevated privileges to write to the folder in the Exchange program files – why, I have no idea!

Hundreds Expected to Come at Masturbate-a-Thon
Hundreds of Britons are being urged to attend what is being branded as Europe's first "Masturbate-a-thon", a leading reproductive healthcare charity said on Friday.
Participants, who have to be over 18, can bring any aids they need and can take part in four different rooms -- a comfort area, a mixed area, along with men and women only areas.
However, the rules on the event's Web site states there can be no touching of other participants nor are people allowed to fake orgasms. "The amount you raise will be determined by how many minutes you masturbate and/or how many orgasms you achieve," the Web site said.

Export-Import Bank:
Reaching New Targets for Environmentally Beneficial Exports Presents Major Challenges for Bank
GAO-10-682: Published: Jul 14, 2010. Publicly Released: Jul 14, 2010.

The Export-Import Bank (Ex-Im) provides financing to support U.S. exports, and its support for environmentally beneficial exports has been of long-standing congressional interest. In fiscal year 2008, Congress directed Ex-Im to allocate 10 percent of its annual financing to renewable energy and environmentally beneficial products and services. For fiscal years 2009 and 2010, it directed Ex-Im to allocate 10 percent to renewable energy and energy efficient end-use technologies. In 2009, it directed GAO to conduct a review of Ex-Im's efforts to meet congressional directives concerning environmental exports financing. This report addresses (1) the extent of Ex-Im's financing of renewable energy, energy efficient end-use technologies, and other environmentally beneficial exports; (2) Ex-Im's definitions for, and its reporting on, these exports; and 3) the extent to which Ex-Im has followed strategic planning key practices in its planning efforts in these areas. GAO analyzed Ex-Im transaction data and planning documents and interviewed officials from Ex-Im, other U.S. agencies, state-level trade promotion agencies, environmental industry associations, and other industry experts.
Ex-Im's financing of exports it identified as environmentally beneficial was 1.3 percent of its total financing from fiscal year 2003 through the first half of fiscal year 2010. Ex-Im's environmentally beneficial exports include renewable energy, energy efficient exports including energy efficient end-use technologies, and a mix of other products with beneficial effects on the environment. Renewable energy was 0.23 percent of overall Ex-Im financing during the period. Ex-Im did not specifically report its energy efficient end-use financing through 2009, but officials stated the bank provided very little such financing over the period. Thus, Ex-Im financing for environmentally beneficial exports in general, and the smaller renewable energy and energy efficient end-use portion, has been well short of the 10 percent congressional target. Ex-Im needs to further clarify its definitions and improve its reporting on environmentally beneficial exports. Ex-Im recently began tracking its financing of energy-efficient end-use technologies in its internal data. In March 2010 the bank released a list of examples for identifying the broader category of energy efficient technologies and services, but the list does not clearly identify the energy efficient end-use examples. Defining energy efficiency products and services is inherently challenging overall, and agencies sometimes use terms differently depending on their organizational needs. Thus, clear Ex-Im definitions are important for communicating with Congress, potential exporters, and others. Ex-Im could benefit from more consistently following strategic planning key practices in its environmentally beneficial financing efforts. These include, for example, involving stakeholders, assessing internal and external environments, and realigning resources if needed. For example, while Ex-Im routinely shares information with stakeholders, such as other trade promotion agencies, industry associations, and lenders, it has not clearly communicated that it has a target requiring substantial increases in financing for this area. GAO recommends that Ex-Im (1) Develop clear definitions for its subcategories of environmentally beneficial exports--specifically energy efficient end-use exports-and report its financing in these areas, and (2) Consistently implement key strategic planning practices in this area.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Export-Import Bank agreed with our findings and stated that it would strive to implement our recommendations promptly. Ex-Im has published on its website examples of energy efficiency items, including examples in a definitional subcategory for end-use energy efficient exports. It has also included the level of financing provided for energy-efficient end-use technologies in Ex-Im's annual report in 2011. These actions fully address our recommendation.
Recommendation: To improve the planning and reporting of its activities related to environmental exports, the Chairman of the Export-Import Bank should develop and provide clear definitions for its subcategories of environmentally beneficial exports--especially energy efficient end-use technologies--and report annually on the level of financing for each of the subcategories. These definitions should be developed in conjunction with other agencies as appropriate.
Agency Affected: Export-Import Bank of the United States
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Export-Import Bank agreed with our findings and stated that it would strive to implement our recommendations promptly. Ex-Im has laid out its recommendations for increasing Ex-Im Bank's support for renewable energy in its FY 2011 Business Plan for internal stakeholders, which include communicating Ex-Im's support for renewable energy exports to external stakeholders through conference attendance, speaking engagements, and industry outreach. Ex-Im has also reported on the results of their planned FY 2011 and FY 2012 business development activities, as a follow up to its FY 2011 Business Plan. These actions address part 1 of this recommendation. Ex-Im provided examples of assessments determining internal and external factors affecting environmental financing. It also stated that in response to increased demand and specific factors outlined in the assessments (eg, increased solar transactions in India), the Bank had dedicated one staff person in the Project Finance Division, to be the subject matter expert for renewable energy within the Division. These actions address parts 2 and 3 of this recommendation.
Recommendation: To improve the planning and reporting of its activities related to environmental exports, the Chairman of the Export-Import Bank should consistently implement key practices for effective strategic planning, including the following (1) clearly communicating the bank's priorities for increasing financing of renewable energy and energy efficient end-use technologies to both internal and external stakeholders, and soliciting input on how to do so; (2)demonstrating in the bank's strategic planning documents a more complete and systematic assessment of external and internal factors affecting environmentally beneficial exports financing, such as market information for energy efficiency exports and the availability of needed Ex-Im services for exporters; and (3) using these assessments to determine the resources required and realign resources if needed.

Hey guys, quick question on being informed I guess...
I switched to a midwife practice at 26 weeks. Before that I was seeing an OB that I wasn't in love with, but had no professional qualms about. Apparently, though, his office JUST faxed over the last of my chart/records to the midwifery clinic (I am 35 weeks), and there was some weirdness there.
My 18-week ultrasound shows a low-lying placenta. The tech didn't say anything. And my doctor NEVER brought this up to me. I understand that a low-lying placenta usually moves out of the way as the uterus expands, but my midwife explained to me that they (legally) need to do another ultrasound to confirm that it has indeed moved up. Why would my doctor not tell me this might be a concern?
I'm just kind of wondering if anyone has any experience with this or similar, and if it's weird that he didn't tell me. My only thought is that it was low-lying enough for the ultrasound tech to put it on my chart, but not low enough for the doc to think it was a true concern. But still, if my midwife is telling me it needs to be checked, why wouldn't I know about this before now?

Sponsored Deals
They're like ads, but good.
OK, yes, companies pay a little something to be Sponsored Deals. But we don't allow just any old crap in this section. Sponsored Deals are proposed to us by other retailers, manufacturers, and even other daily deal sites. If we find the deal compelling enough that our members will appreciate us bringing it to their attention, we'll feature it here. Believe it or not, we have a reputation to uphold. If your store would like to be considered for this space, please contact us for details. But if your deal is lame, or sketchy, no amount of money will let you buy your way in.
Community Deals
It's whatever you want it to be.
Pretty much, anyway. This is where you find the deals that wooters like you have ferreted out and brought to light. We're thinking it'll turn into a massive database of discounted products from around the Web, constantly expanding to absorb the newest deals from the very moment their prices are slashed, with each deal immediately rated by hordes of savvy voters to spotlight the very greatest deals in the world today. Hey, we can dream, right?
We use a fancy algorithm to determine which deals are catching the most buzz – they're under the Popular tab, which is the default view of this section. You can look for the most popular deals today, this week, or this month. The Fresh tab features the most recently submitted deals, so that's where to look for deals that everybody else doesn't know about yet. And the Search bar does what a Search bar does, only, uh, much wootier! Yeah! Right on!
Ask The Community
They probably won't bite.
Organic bullets? Vegetarian haggis? Cheap tickets to Antarctica? The best high-performance sweatsocks for under $100? If you're looking for a deal that doesn't appear to show up in our Community Deals section, throw the question to your fellow cheapskates. Or answer a question for one of your fellow cheapskates. Or vote for your favorite questions, or your favorite answers, or… maybe we should call this section "Ask, Answer, Comment On, And Vote In The Community", but that won't fit on the page.

Major Todd and Captain Bethany Hawks were commissioned as
officers in The Salvation Army at different points in their lives. Todd was
commissioned in 1978 and since has served as commanding officer in several
southern communities in Virginia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Bethany
realized her calling to The Salvation Army after various ministries in which
she worked with domestic violence victims, seniors, and women. Bethany was
commissioned in 2001 and began her officership in Western New York at the
Divisional Headquarters and then as a Corp Officer.
Todd and Bethany married in 2005. That October, Todd was
appointed to the National Headquarters of The Salvation Army as national public
affairs secretary and associate community relations secretary. In this role he
held administrative responsibility for marketing, communications, and
government and corporate relations, including development and disaster
services. Bethany was the
national consultant on youth ministries at National Headquarters at this time.
Major Hawks was appointed area commander of Greater Charlotte
and Captain Hawks coordinator of women's ministries in June 2008. They, along
with their two sons, Caedon Aaron and Camden Andrew and daughter, Carsyn Asher.
Together the Hawks look forward to serving in their new
appointments as the Metropolitan Atlanta Area Commander and the Associate Area

Here's what NYC looks like as you're falling off a roof at night
Looking at his photos of New York City, you would think Navid Baraty used a tripod to stick his camera way out off of rooftops. Not so, Baraty reveals. His actual way of taking photos would be quite frightening for most folk.
Baraty, a former engineer turned pro photographer, says his photos are intended to reveal "the immense scale" of the cities they're taken in. His "Intersection" photos are taken from skyscraper rooftops by leaning out as far as he can and then snapping away. He says he never uses any tripods or any additional gear — just a good camera tightly wrapped around his wrist: "I lean out as far as I can and extend my arms to get as vertical a shot as possible."
The real challenge comes with shooting at night, where a tripod is a staple to help photographers get photos without blur. Baraty doesn't reveal how he does it, but he says it's done in the same fashion as his daytime photos.
"Obviously, the biggest challenge at night is the darkness. I have to shoot at a much higher ISO and faster shutter speed to get a crisper image. It's also challenging to have the buildings properly exposed nicely and not have the bright street lights too blown out."
Baraty's next challenge? Taking photos leaning over rooftops in more aggressive weather, which sounds like a terrible idea even if we're excited to see the results. Take a look at his collection of photos below and let us know how far you would go, without any special equipment, to get the perfect shot.

In cymbal making, taper refers to the gradual change in thickness from the bell to the rim of the cymbal. It is one of the key features that determines the tone of the cymbal. This change is typically not uniform, and it is extremely difficult to generalise on the effects of taper, just to say that they are profound. Crash cymbals tend to have the most pronounced taper, with the faster crashes and the richer tones the most pronounced of all. The bell of a paperthin crash or a fast crash can be thicker than that of many ride cymbals. On the other hand, china cymbals tend to have little or no taper, as do the heavy to medium weights of splash cymbals. Hi-hat and ride cymbals tend to have intermediate taper, with the washier ride cymbals having less than the pingier cymbals, but there are exceptions. A flat ride cymbal may have no taper at all and simply be a machined disk of uniform thickness, but a slight taper is more common. Taper is archieved in several ways: ⁕Casting the melt alloy -- done by UFIP ⁕Rolling out the hot dough -- done by Sabian ⁕Lathing -- only possible, if surface is reasonably even, in explanation not too deep hammer marks. Simple pressed sheet-metal cymbals have no deep lathing hence have bad taper; the inner areas, especially the bell, are thinner than the outer ones. Yet many such cymbals such as Paiste 404 have been used successfully. Paise 2002 still have thin bells but good taper towards the edge, tho sometimes uneven. Only UFIP makes well-tapered bells.

It's official. My blogging licence will soon be revoked: I forgot to take a picture of the relevant outfit for this post. Sorry about that. In my defence I was at a festival (Wilderness – early bird tickets for 2015 now available!) and having far too much fun dancing at a mock wedding disco (Whitney! Cher! Take That!) to think about recording my clothes for posterity and your entertainment. To be honest, it was your standard issue festival fare – cut off jeans, stripey top, crazy sunglasses and the inevitable wellies. Please accept a picture of the wellington aftermath in lieu (note that they had been cleaned by time of taking).
The festival itself almost appeared to be sponsored by Hunter, so numerous were its rubber sub-knee logos. Having owned a pair in the past, I think Kate Moss and her 2006 Glasto endorsement have a lot to answer for. They gave me horrendous shin splints after walking a few feet, such is their rigidity, so dancing in them must be like trying to bust some moves wearing calipers. My trusty Primark versions (less than ten of your English pounds) offered far superior manoeuvrability for throwing YMCA shapes and slow dancing to Eternal Flame. Result.
There was a dark horse contender for the Hunter crown though – Dunlop. Yes, purveyor of 1980s squash shoes actually do a nice line in cheapy boots which are squidgy enough to dance like a loon in. The Bloke bought his at 9.53pm the previous evening on a last gasp mission to Westfield (do men ever shop any other way?) and was in good company as many other Wildernessites – boys and girls alike – had clearly also been to Deichmann (can I still laugh at that name at 38?) to get theirs for a solid tenner. I'm not sure it's possible to fight a class war from an RV in the Oxfordshire countryside surrounded by lawyers, children called Hermione and overpriced food trucks, but I like to think we were in some way sticking it to the Hunter man. Maybe. And we didn't have hurty legs, which is obviously the most important thing.

Eagles' offense could be slowed by refs
Philadelphia Eagles coach Chip Kelly's plan to rush the offense may have hit a snag.
THE ROAD TO SB XLVIIIFrom the opening kickoff to the Super Bowl, the best NFL action is on FOX. See the full NFL on FOX schedule.
Kelly was known for running each play as quickly as possible, eliminating stoppages in play, during his tenure at Oregon. He was expected to bring that same philosophy to the NFL game, taxing defenses. But according to the Wall Street Journal, he could have an issue with this kind of game: the NFL referees.
Citing league officials, the story points to the NFL's long-standing pace for the referees. They "aren't going to change just to accommodate someone's offense," said Mike Pereira, a former NFL vice president of officiating who is now an analyst for Fox Sports.
"We have to make sure teams understand that they don't control the tempo, our officials do," added NFL vice president of officiating Dean Blandino. "We're going through our normal ball mechanics, we aren't going to rush [unless] it's in the two-minute drill."
According to the report, Blandino has talked to NFL coaches during the offseason to make the point clear. It's up to the ref to signal when it's time for the play to begin.
Kelly declined to comment to the Journal, as did an unnamed Eagles spokesman.
Reportedly the up-tempo style of offense was a "major point of discussion by the NFL's competition committee in recent months." The report states that Pereira said he saw league executives "taking the next step, drilling the message into the heads of its assembled referees: No matter what, we're going to run at the same pace" during a summer clinic.
"Coach Kelly will not be playing as fast in Philadelphia as he did at Oregon," said Gerald Austin, a longtime NFL referee who now instructs officials and is an analyst for ESPN, according to the report.

Rooftop bars in NYC
Ava Lounge
You'll need to make yourself presentable to gain entry to the roof terrace of the Dream Hotel—no hats, sneakers or ripped jeans here; you'd only ruin the chic, palm-tree-studded decor. Come for sunset and gaze at the neon dream of Times Square. 210 W 55th St between Broadway and Seventh Ave
Rooftop bars in NYC
Bar 13
Above two floors of NYU students boogying to nightly DJs and the occasional live act is a concrete-floored roof deck sprinkled with palm trees. It may sound a bit grim, but the space transforms at night when the light panels in the walls emit a warm orange hue, although they do restrict the view of the surrounding university buildings. Still, you won't be complaining when you're three rounds deep into the daily two-for-one happy hour (5–9pm). 35 E 13th St at University Pl

Berry ParkGaze at the Manhattan skyline from across the East River at this 3,000-square-foot roof deck. After a recent renovation, the aerie features a retractable glass roof, so you can hang out when it's sunny or raining. Quaff European brews that skew German, like the Schöfferhofer Grapefruit Hefeweizen ($7), as you chow down on boozing-friendly eats such as bratwurst with sauerkraut ($6). There's also a DJ during the weekly boozy Sunday Brunch (2pm). 4 Berry St at North 14th St, Greenpoint, Brooklyn

Bookmarks Rooftop Lounge at the Library HotelDig out your cravat when hitting this year-round 14th-floor lounge. You'll want to look the part when quoting Dostoyevsky in one of two greenhouses or on the outdoor terrace at this upscale, literary-themed bar. Order the Hemingway cocktail, with aged rum, lime juice, mint and champagne ($15.50); dig into the book collection; and let your imagination soar like the midtown buildings around you. 299 Madison Ave at 41st St, 14th floor
Rooftop bars in NYC
The DelanceyWhile the music pounds downstairs, this LES rooftop offers a palm-studded oasis with white chaise lounges. On Saturdays between 10pm and 1am, the spot is often packed with large group reservations (fortune, it seems, favors the popular and organized). Head there on Sundays and Mondays for two-for-one well drinks. 168 Delancey St between Attorney and Clinton Sts

Rooftop bars in NYC
The EagleThis popular gay leather bar can be a bit intimidating for the uninitiated—you don't want to show up for Wednesday's Jock Strap Night unprepared. But on Sundays, a friendly (mostly male, mostly burly) crowd assembles on the surprisingly lovely roof deck for a beer blast (5pm–midnight) featuring $3 draft beers, $5 shots of Jägermeister and Jose Cuervo, and DJ Nikko. Check the website for announcements about seasonal parties. 554 W 28th St between Tenth and Eleventh Aves
Rooftop bars in NYC
Empire Hotel RooftopThis rooftop lounge features 3,000 square feet of outdoor space and private couch-equipped cabanas. Three separate terraces offer views of Lincoln Center and Central Park, and an appropriately sleek bar—constructed of stacked metal pipes—dispenses specialty cocktails. 44 W 63rd St between Broadway and Columbus Ave

Rooftop bars in NYC
Gallow GreenThe transportive vibe of Sleep No More, Punchdrunk's interactive theater piece at the McKittrick Hotel, carries over to the venue's rooftop bar. Named for a Scottish field where accused witches were hanged, Gallow Green has the feel of a garden party thrown at an abandoned farm. Fairy lights and tattered flags hang between verdant trellises; bartenders sling cocktails like the Vanessa's Cup (which combines Rhum J.M. Gold rum, Pimm's, sirop de canne—a simple syrup infused with cinammon, cloves and vanilla— strawberries, ginger and nettle tincture; $14), served by waitstaff dressed in ghostly white. The best seats in the house are inside an artfully ruined antique railcar, whose empty windows are hung with destroyed lace curtains. 530 W 27th St, (between Tenth and Eleventh Aves)

Hudson TerraceUninterrupted views of the Hudson, cabanas, food from the grill and AC to fight the humidity put this plush deck with a retractable cover in the upper echelons of Manhattan's high-class roof bars. Check its website for updates on programming—last year featured a visiting brewery every Friday—or start the season early with DJs and bottle service on Friday and Saturday nights. 621 W 46th St between Eleventh and Twelfth Aves

The Ides at the Wythe HotelThis outdoor terrace bar on the Wythe Hotel's sixth floor affords sweeping views of the East River and Manhattan, and it's an ideal vantage point for watching summer sunsets while lingering over a Professor Fritz Briem tall boy ($16) or a quaff made from local small-batch spirits. Sure, the crowd comprises mostly globe-trotting cool kids from outside the five boroughs, but consider that another avenue to finding a guilt-free summer fling. 80 Wythe Ave, (at North 11th St)

JulietteWhen you tire of Williamsburg's dive bars, head up the stairs of this French bistro for a glass of vin on the wooden terrace that's dotted with trees. The roof deck is now more conducive to drinkers: The same menu is offered as in the restaurant below, and DJs are occasionally spinning. 135 North 5th St between Bedford Ave and Berry St
Rooftop bars in NYC
La Piscine at the Americano
Sufferers of vertigo beware: Access to Hôtel Americano's rooftop pool bar on the 10th floor is by an external glass elevator. Those who brave that ride, however, get to appreciate a view of Chelsea—including the High Line—while sipping specialty cocktails. Keep cool by dipping your toes in the four-feet-deep pool. Keep an eye on the website for announcements about live music and deejayed parties in the summer. 518 W 27th St between Tenth and Eleventh Aves

La Birreria
High atop the culinary wonderland of Eataly sits this 8,000-square-foot beer spot, a collaborative effort between lead brewer Peter Hepp Jr., Dogfish Head's Sam Calagione, and two Italian brewmasters, Teo Musso (Baladin) and Leonardo Di Vincenzo (Birra Del Borgo). Belly up to the bar and try one of the three house brews—two year-round offerings, and one seasonal—such as Patrizia ($10), an American dry stout brewed with Wellfleet oysters. Take your pint to one of the tables in the 15th-floor space overlooking midtown. 200 Fifth Ave, (at 23rd St)
Rooftop bars in NYC
Le BainGetting past the doorman can be tough work at the rooftop bar of the still-trendy Standard Hotel, but your trials will be rewarded with stunning views of the Hudson River and downtown Manhattan. The bi-level boîte boasts an artificial-turfed alfresco bar with garden chairs and large, round pouf ottomans that can easily accommodate upward of three reclining friends. Don't just bypass the lower-level room with floor-to-ceiling windows and a Jacuzzi—it plays host to appropriately hip parties with top-notch DJs, like the weekly Nouveau York bash (Sun 9pm–3am; free). 444 W 13th St at Washington St

Lounge at Pod 39 Hotel
In balmy weather, midtown partygoers and backpack-lugging budget travelers alike can be found atop this Murray Hill hotel. Red brick and lofty arches lend Spanish flair to the outdoor terrace, which boasts spectacular views of the Empire State Building. Bar nibbles from April Bloomfield's Salvation Taco, such as gazpacho ($8) or chips and fresh guac ($11), are also available. Sip a Salvation Margarita ($13), a mix of Pueblo Viejo Blanco tequila, fresh lime juice and Combier triple sec, rimmed with a zingy guajillo chili salt; or opt for a Devil's Plaything ($8), a citrusy IPA produced exclusively for the eatery by Greenport Harbor Brewing Co. 145 E 39th St, (between Lexington and Third Aves)

Atop the 19th floor of the Roosevelt Hotel, you'll find the usual luxe environs with cabanas reserved for bottle service (upon request) and a spectacular vista of midtown buildings.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Roof Garden CaféThe Met's roof-bar-cum-gallery offers some of the city's best views of Central Park. But you're not there just to peek over the side: This year's installation is by Pakistani artist Imran Qureshi, who covered the roof in large swaths of red paint—some of it used to depict foliage, some applied as messy splotches. A selection of this year's cocktails are informed by the artist's home country: Try the gola ganda ($6–$14), a traditional Pakistani shaved-ice concoction, with your choice of rosewater, mango or pomegranate syrup. (You can request a shot of vodka for an added kick.) 1000 Fifth Ave, (at 82nd St)

Night of JoyYou'll find this eclectic Williamsburg watering hole on an unassuming corner beneath the BQE. Make your way around the antique furniture in the dim lower-level bar and head upstairs to the buzzing rooftop patio, lined with mesh lanterns and box planters. Once you've settled in, peruse the handwritten list of cocktails, made using all-natural ingredients such as fresh fruit and herbs: We liked the jalapeño-and-black-currant tequila ($9); its spicy kick comes from a base of hot-pepper-infused Milagro Silver. 667 Lorimer St at Meeker Ave, Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Penthouse808Tucked under the Queensboro Bridge, this bar atop Long Island City boutique hotel the Ravel offers a stunning vista of New York's most famous borough. Relax and enjoy the view during the day while swigging frozen drinks ($12–$14), but if you go in the evening, be prepared for a party atmosphere and bottle service. 8-08 Queens Plaza South at Vernon Blvd, Long Island City, Queens

The Press Lounge
Apropos its minimalist, modern ideal, this upscale spread's pièce de résistance is a glowing 70-foot-long reflecting pool. Translation: Skip the flip-flops if you want to fit in with the midtown crowd that congregates here to watch the sun set after work. You won't be disappointed with the 16th floor's 360-degree vistas either. There's plenty of space to lounge on the generously sized deck, and there's also a glass-enclosed lounge where you can grab a beer or a cocktail. 653 Eleventh Ave between 47th and 48th Sts
Rooftop bars in NYC
PlungeSatisfy yourself with the excellent views of the Meatpacking District at this rooftop lounge at the Gansevoort. Unless you want to flash the cash for bottle service or cram into the back garden on the bumping weekend evenings, we recommend going midweek to enjoy the vista in peace while nursing a $15 cocktail. Hotel Gansevoort, 18 Ninth Ave at 13th St

Rare View at Fashion 26 Hotel
This spot draws an after-work crowd with DJs and dancing every night. This location atop Chelsea's Hilton Fashion District Hotel boasts a retractable roof for all-weather viewing of the Empire State Building. 152 W 26th St , (between Sixth and Seventh Aves)

Rooftop bars in NYC
The Rock ShopThis bi-level Park Slope bar is best known for concerts—hence the name—but the hidden gem is the roof deck, a welcome respite from the overpriced elevated perches you'll find throughout Manhattan. The no-frills space, which has views of such landmarks as the Williamsburgh Savings Bank Tower and One World Trade Center, attracts a laid-back crowd. Friendly bartenders chat up the regulars and pour local brews like Brooklyn Summer Ale ($6), as well as daily happy-hour specials ($4 Stoli drinks on Wednesdays, $6 beer-and-a-shot combos on Fridays). 249 Fourth Ave, (between Carroll and President Sts)
Rooftop bars in NYC
Salon de NingYou'll find well-heeled types at this refined, Asian-inspired roof bar—and prices to match—but that does afford one elbow room at a table plus views of Fifth Avenue. To make a day of it, hold out for the three-course prix-fixe summer brunch menu ($45) on Sundays, then take your Bloody Mary buzz to one of the Chinese daybeds. 700 Fifth Ave at 55th St

Sheltering Sky
This newly opened rooftop bar and lounge sits atop Williamsburg's fancypants answer to the nearby public McCarren Park pool. Buy a pass and spend the day poolside, sipping drinks and eating grub from Paul Liebrandt's The Elm, then head up to the eighth floor to gawk at the hipsters below while boogying to a rotating roster of international DJs. 160 North 12th St between Bedford Ave and Berry St, eighth floor, Williamsburg, Brooklyn
Rooftop bars in NYC
Sky RoomThis open-air destination is way up on the 33rd and 34th floors of the Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Times Square. The 7,500-square-foot lounge takes inspiration from its location; check out the ceiling's LED lighting display, which mimics the blaze of Times Square; you can compare it with the real deal from the north terrace. Or lounge in the south terrace, where you'll find cabanas and illuminated furniture and floor tiles. No matter where you end up, enjoy the aptly named Mile-High cocktail ($15), with Bombay Sapphire gin, peach liqueur, Chambord and prosecco. 330 W 40th St between Eighth and Ninth Aves

Top of the StrandThe Strand Hotel's 21st-floor drinkery boasts an uninterrupted sight line of the towering Empire State Building and first-come, first-served benches that offer a front-row seat. Don't let the imposing main attraction blind you to the rest of the skyline—to your left is the lit-up crown of the Setai at 400 Fifth Avenue, and over to your right is the illuminated double-fin roof of the Epic. The price of admission for this light show? Specialty cocktails are $15 and bottles of beer $9. If you're rolling deep, reserve a cabana (e-mail email@example.com) and don't worry about the weather, a retractable glass roof ensures a warm viewing platform safe from the elements. 33 W 37th St between Fifth and Sixth Aves
Rooftop bars in NYC
230 Fifth
It'll take you a while to get into 230 Fifth's massive rooftop garden and bar—not because of the door policy (it's surprisingly lenient, just don't dress for the Jersey Shore), but because of its popularity. Despite this, you've got a good chance of bagging a seat on one of the many wooden benches under yellow-and-white canopies. You could stare at the Empire State, MetLife and Chrysler Buildings, but you may find your eyes drawn to the hordes of prowling hotties instead. 230 Fifth Ave between 26th and 27th Sts
Rooftop bars in NYC
UpstairsThis 3,000-square-foot rooftop bar on the 30th floor of the Kimberly Hotel features ivy-covered walls, old-fashioned globe street lamps and a retractable roof that makes it possible to enjoy the 360-degree views year-round. It's best experienced at night, when the web of lightbulbs above the terrace gives a sparkling ambiance in which to appreciate the view of the Chrysler Building. In addition to signature cocktails ($18), drinkers can choose from a selection of bottled beer and wines. Booze-friendly foods include grilled calamari ($16) and crispy baby artichokes ($15). 145 E 50th St between Lexington and Third Aves

Rooftop bars in NYC
Vu Bar
Among the swanky midtown rooftop set, Vu Bar (formerly Mé Bar) is a refreshing oddity, serving reasonably priced drinks on a plain patio above the La Quinta hotel with no doorman to negotiate. There's no wide-open vista here, but the Empire State Building towering above you certainly makes an impression. 17 W 32nd St between Fifth Ave and Broadway, 14th floor

Ava Lounge
You'll need to make yourself presentable to gain entry to the roof terrace of the Dream Hotel—no hats, sneakers or ripped jeans here; you'd only ruin the chic, palm-tree-studded decor. Come for sunset and gaze at the neon dream of Times Square. 210 W 55th St between Broadway and Seventh Ave

Random vibration and thermal vacuum testing of ORBCOMM's Generation 2 (OG2) prototype spacecraft has been completed by Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Space Systems' facility in Louisville, CO.
The vibration and thermal vacuum testing is considered to be the most critical set of tests prior to launch. With testing complete, the spacecraft is now scheduled to be launched in conjunction with SpaceX's first Cargo Re-supply Services mission to the International Space Station on the next Falcon-9 launch vehicle.
"We are pleased to announce the completion of critical environmental testing for this prototype OG2 spacecraft for ORBCOMM," said Pat Remias, senior director of Programs for SNC's Spacecraft Systems. "This milestone signals not only the readiness of this vehicle for launch, but also completes the design verification effort for SNC's SN-100 spacecraft bus and demonstrates its suitability for a variety of space missions."
The first ORBCOMM OG2 spacecraft, after an orbit-raising sequence unique to this launch profile, will serve as a prototype for a total of 18 new satellites that will constitute the company's second generation satellite network. These satellites are designed to greatly enhance ORBCOMM's space-based global Machine-to-Machine (M2M) network with greater bandwidth, more capacity and higher gain, all of which will deliver improved messaging performance, higher data transmission speeds, increased coverage and capacity several times that of the current first generation constellation. In addition to the M2M payload, each satellite also carries technology that will collect Automatic Identification System maritime tracking signals from around the globe, resulting in global "near-real-time" service upon completion of the constellation.
Sierra Nevada Corporation is the general contractor for all OG2 spacecraft, with Boeing Argon ST as a subcontractor providing the payload.

I'd rather pay $20 for a hardback that won't fall apart in a month than hundreds for a fancy leather-bound Bible that will.
I don't see anything on their kickstarter page about the spine.
Don't buy a leather (or leather substitute) perfect-bound Bible. It will just fall apart. Usually in a few months. Get a hardback, which at least has a thicker spine to support the pages. They last much longer.

Since this crackpot is promoting his books, and one of his books is about how to time travel (really!), why doesn't he use his knowledge and travel to the future to give us an exact date? That would improve his credibility and help both his books sell better.
This statement was silently removed from the web site later. The ministry was never held accountable for this statement in any way by anyone in Christianity, and were allowed to rewrite history. The ministry has never explained or even acknowledged this statement.
While Camping's false predictions are bad, I think this statement is infinitely worse, and anyone who donates to this ministry should be aware of it - Family Radio should not be allowed to rewrite history and scrub the record of this statement. They should come clean, admit to it, and explain it.
