[1012] Mitosis Phase Enrichment with Identification of Mitotic Centromere-Associated Kinesin as a Therapeutic Target in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Kanishka Sircar, Heng Huang, Limei Hu, Yuexin Liu, Jasreman Dhillon, David Cogdell, Armen Aprikian, Nora Navone, Patricia Troncoso, Wei Zhang. MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX; UT Arlington, TX; McGill University, Montreal, QC, Canada
Background: Hormone sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC), though initially treatable, eventually progresses to castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), which is the lethal phase of this disease. The recently described transcriptomic switch to an androgen receptor mediated mitosis program in CRPC suggests that mitotic proteins may be rationally targeted at this lethal phase of disease progression. We sought to study mitosis phase protein expression in CRPC and identify novel anti-mitotic targets in CRPC using genomic, proteomic and functional approaches.
Design: We examined human CRPC samples (n=51) for expression of the mitosis phase marker p-histone H3 (SC-8656, 1:100) and the centrosomal marker Γ-tubulin (Abcam 27074, 1:400). We performed gene expression profiling (Agilent 44K) of chemotherapy-resistant CRPC samples (n=25) and compared our results with those from publicly available primary chemotherapy-naïve CRPC (n=10) and HSPC (n=149) datasets. Target validation was peformed using immunohistochemistry with functional characterization using si-RNA to our target in LNCaP and C42-B cell lines treated with and without Docetaxel chemotherapy.
Results: Mitosis-phase and centrosomal markers were upregulated at the protein level in CRPC compared with untreated, high Gleason grade hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (P < 0.0001). Gene expression data showed enrichment of mitosis-phase genes and pathways with progression to both castration-resistant and chemotherapy-resistant disease. The mitotic centromere-associated kinesin (MCAK/KIF2C) was identified as a novel mitosis-phase target in prostate cancer that was overexpressed in multiple CRPC gene-expression datasets. KIF2C showed increased protein expression with clinical progression of prostate cancer to CRPC. Si-RNA mediated knockdown of KIF2C arrested the growth of prostate cancer cells and sensitized CRPC cells to Docetaxel chemotherapy.
Conclusions: Mitosis phase is upregulated at the transcript and protein levels with progression to CRPC chemoresistant disease. Mitotic centromere associated kinesin (KIF2C) was identified as a novel therapeutic target in CRPC that may complement standard of care Docetaxel chemotherapy.

review by Podcasting's Brock Pro
Reviewed 21 Jul, 2012
Podcasting's Brock's review:
Entertaining, silly and violent, SNATCH is an ensemble piece about all these criminals - veterans, newbies, wanna-bes, thugs and fences - who want to get their hands on a 84 carat diamond. I dug the humor, the performances, the stylized direction, and the music, reminiscent of Get Shorty and Ocean's 11, which gives a nice vibe to this piece.

Its probably reminiscent of Oceans Eleven because they share a very identifiable song.

Fortune Favors The Bold
The second part in a series on our staff's favorite FFG games. |
News | Published 26 February 2009 |
Once again we shine the spotlight on another staff favorite. This week we look at the Silver Line title, Colossal Arena. A game by Reiner Knizia, Colossal Arena combines the elements of gladiatorial combat and placing bets on the combatants. This game was chosen by Nate French, game developer. Nate has worked on both the Call of Cthulhu LCG/CCG and the A Game of Thrones LCG/CCG as well as the Mutant Chronicles miniature game. I had a chance to talk to Nate about Colossal Arena. "This is definitely one of my favorite board games. I love the shifting alliances, this turn I may back a certain creature to piggyback on another player's bet. The very next turn I may choose to kill that same player's creature. I also love the variety. Each creature has a unique power. Overall a great game to pick up and play."
Few things are as exciting as stadium events. The roar of the crowd, the teams struggling for dominance on the field, rooting for your favorite, the feeling is intense. Colossal Arena captures this. Pitting 10 different mythical creatures against one another, you must choose your favorites and "cheer" for them. The game ends with three combatants standing proudly on the field of battle. Lets take a look and see how those three came to be victorious.
Colossal Arena puts you in the stands at a gladiatorial match between 10 fearsome creatures. You must make your bets wisely, as only the bets on creatures left standing at the end will pay off. Each round of combat sees another creature fall, and puts you that much closer to wealth.
The goal of the game is to accumulate the most wealth, this is done by choosing your bets wisely. Each player places a bet on one of the creatures each turn. After placing bets, players then play combat cards for the creatures. Once each creature has a card beneath it, the creature with the lowest numbered card is removed from the competition. At the end of five rounds, only three creatures are left standing. Then each player collects money for each correctly placed bet. Bet values depreciate each round, so a bet made in the first round that pays off is worth five. A bet in the second round is worth four, so on and so forth.
As Nate referenced above, a big part of the game is when to "piggyback" and when to stab in the back. Creatures with a bet on them are going to be fought for harder, where as creatures with no bets are generally slate to be taking a dive. Watch where other players are placing bets, you can often take a player out of contention if they have placed too many bets on the same creature round after round. Take care yourself not to place too many on any one creature, as you may find yourself hurting. In addition to the placing of bets, there is the secret bet. Only available on the first turn, this is an option to give players a big win if they choose correctly. Simply select one of the creature cards from your hand, place it face down in front of you with one of your betting tokens on top of it. At the end of the game, secret bets are revealed. If you chose correctly, you get an extra five gold!
The other part that changes the game are the creatures powers. Each of these legendary monsters has a unique power. After the first round of combat, whoever has the most invested in each creature becomes that creature's backer. The backer may activate their creature's power by playing a combat card on them. ie. You have decided to back the Amazon. You place a combat card featuring the Amazon in front of her, You may now activate her special ability, which in this case, allows you to draw three combat cards. Choosing which creature to back is a big part of the strategy, Each creature give you access to new options, but choose carefully, as other players can prevent you from becoming the backer by placing their bet with yours. As neither player has the most money invested, neither player becomes the backer. If you place your bet in the first round, but another player places a bet in both the 2nd and 3rd rounds, they become the backer, as they now have 4 gold and 3 gold invested. Watch your backer... er your backer's back.
Colossal Arena is a fast paced game that is very easy to teach. Age range listed on it is 8+, and 2-5 players can take part in the betting. With only 2 different decks of cards, the game is quick to set up and tear down, and the betting pieces are very high quality. Overall this game is great to add on those nights when you want something quick, but strategic. On average this game takes between 30-45 minutes.
So what are you waiting for? Pick your creatures, place your bets, and see which pay off in Colossal Arena!
Fun small game and a favorite Ben Sisko quote.
An absolute classic, for sure!
For such a simple system this game provides tremendous fun and is possibly one of my all time favourites. It's fast, it's furious and there isn't a Vin Diesil in sight (which is a shame, because I reckon he'd own all!).
Great choice :)
Good choice, Nate! This is a classic "filler" game that I am glad FFG picked up. Very much a "Euro" type game that I was playing before I knew the term. It's easy to pull out when you have only a short amount of time to play. I recommend it to anyone looking for a light game with a Euro feel. And it has several strategy choices for a light game.

Border crossings in Central Asia have a tendency to close unexpectedly and be located on a snowy mountain pass. Use the below map and guide to decide on your route through Central Asia. Please understand that this guide is an indication. However hard we try to keep up to date with recent developments, we cannot guarantee that a certain border crossing will be open or closed.
Border crossings legend
Green: no problem
Yellow: possible problems
Red: closed
Azure: Bilateral border crossing: only for residents of the 2 countries of the border crossing.
Purple: not enough information
Blue: other border crossings on the Silk road. Not researched and updated.
A word about bribes at the border. There is little chance that you will be asked for a bribe at the border crossing, be it a small one or a major one, if you haven't done anything wrong. Border officials are generally not targeting tourists for bribes, they are looking more for illegal immigrants or workers from inside the region. Should you happen to run into trouble anyway, it is wise to stay polite and act like you have no idea what they are talking about. They will eventually tire of you and let you go.
Comments are closed. If you have questions or reports, head over to our forum's border crossings section.

I am traveling by bike from Vienna to Vladivostok.
Because of troubles in the Pamir Region I had to turn back in direction Dushanbe. I tried to get to Kirgistan through the boarder at Karamyk. This boardercrossing is still closed for international travelers. Open only for Lokals!
Information is from May 30th 2014.
Maybe you put it on your map…

Border crossing between Dashoguz (Turkmenistan) and Shovot (Uzbekistan) is now closed.
went through this border yesterday. had to pay bribe of $20 as our paperwork said exit from turkmenistan- Konye URGENCH, BUT ROAD WAS TOO BAD, S
The border between Russia and Georgia is opened for all people. It is difficult to hitch hike because you need to cross the border in a car or bus, so none want to take the risk to cross with a traveller.. It is not possible to cross walking, only that.. There are buses going from Yerevan and Tbilisi to Vladikavkaz and other cities in the south of Russia (I took this one some weeks ago).
you mean the Kazbegi tunnel? If not that one, which one? Thx
Hi, Do someone know if we can take an other port of entry as the one on the visa of Tadjikistan? And if it's possible to cross the border from kirghystan to tadjikistan near Batken with my bike.
Thanks see you

The boarder crossing from kirgistan to kasachstan at the karakara valley is now open since 1 week.
Save travel, very good and helpful information.
Thanks, Michael -
Hey Steven, I know this is a bit out of date but I tried Bekobad around this time last year and they sent me up to Oybek (which was itself pretty painless).
Er, in Uzbek to Tajik that is.

Facebook-led Open Compute Project (OCP) propells ARM servers
The Facebook-led Open Compute Project (OCP) announced a specification for a plug-in board that can accommodate a variety of ARM- and x86-based server SoCs. Applied Micro Circuits Corp. and Calxeda are among SoC vendors contributing board-level designs that meet the spec and use their ARM SoCs.
With the news, Facebook becomes the first major data center to open the door to ARM SoCs in servers. An executive for the social networking giant told EE Times late last year that Facebook might find some low volume roles for 32-bit ARM SoCs, but that it sees no widespread use of the architecture in host server processors until 64-bit parts are available, probably in 2014 or beyond.
Separately, Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD) announced it has financial services customers testing board designs it submitted to OCP last May. In addition, Mellanox is showing an integrated networking product for data centers at the Open Compute Summit here.
With OCP, Facebook is encouraging large and small data centers and their vendors to set common specs for servers and other data center gear to lower costs. Facebook competitors such as Amazon, Google and Microsoft specify custom server boards and other data center gear but don't openly share details of those designs.
Applied Micro announced it developed a board design that uses its X-Gene 64-bit ARM server SoC and complies with the new OCP spec. The so-called Common Slot specification announced at the summit can accommodate all SoC architecture types.
Calxeda will show this week a 32-bit ARM SoC board that could be used as a storage controller for a disk drive array like this controller board in Facebook's Open Vault. (To view a slideshow detailing Facebook's Open Compute project, click on the image).
Applied said it is on track to sample silicon for X-Gene to key customers before the end of the quarter. "As the first to deliver silicon based on the ARM 64-bit architecture, Applied Micro gives consumers an opportunity to evaluate the benefits of this compelling processor architecture," said Frank Frankovsky, chairman of the Open Compute Foundation and vice president of hardware design and supply chain at Facebook, in a prepared statement.
"An alternative processor architecture such as ARM, coupled with open source software, has the potential to radically increase the amount of compute power we can get from the energy we consume and the money we spend," Frankovsky said.
"An ARM 64-bit server motherboard design has the potential to reach the data center by the end of this year," Paramesh Gopi, president and CEO of Applied Micro, said in the statement.
Separately, Calxeda showed a Common Slot board at the summit using its 32-bit ARM-based SoC. It also demoed Project Knockout, an ARM-based board that can be used as a controller for disk arrays in the OCP Open Vault storage spec. In addition, Calxeda partnered with Avnet Embedded to show other data center designs it will release in the fall.
"Partners like Calxeda are critical to bringing creative new design options to the Open Compute Project community, and we applaud their technical contributions to the project," Frankovsky said in a Calxeda statement.
Calxeda is currently shipping a 32-bit ARM server SoC. It has announced plans for a 64-bit version that will ship in 2014.
AMD and Intel will also support the Common Slot spec with x86 server chips.
AMD aims to leverage the OCP process for a wide range of server buyers. It showed at the summit the first boards based on its Open 3.0 platform, a spec contributed to OCP in May.
The boards are based on AMD's 6300 processors and were developed in collaboration with 14 financial services companies including Fidelity. "A lot of customers I talk to like the OCP model," said Bob Ogrey, an AMD fellow and cloud evangelist.
"After the first OCP summit in New York in October 2011, I sat down with some of the financial services people," said Ogrey. "We met again in January 2012 with a draft spec and had multiple conference calls to review and revise the spec which was released at the OCP summit in San Antonio in May," he added.
AMD will consider a similar board design for its 4300 series. It is also approaching server customers in other markets such as oil and gas with the designs.
The approach aims to lower the cost and simplify the management of servers by letting multiple vendors tag on to a single high volume design. The boards currently are made by two Taiwan ODMs, Qunta and Tyan, a division of Mitac.
The move effectively cuts branded server makers such as Dell and Hewlett-Packard out of the loop. They could offer to sell such boards, but it's not clear what value they would add since their boards are also made by third-parties such as Quanta and Mitac.
The Open 3.0 motherboard measures 16 x 16.5 inches, uses two 6300 CPUs and comes in versions that fit into 1U, 2U and 3U high racks, depending on how many hard drives, DRAM cards and adapter boards they use. One variant of the board is geared for Facebook's Open Rack servers.
Ogrey declined to comment on the Common Slot spec. AMD announced late last year it will ship ARM-based server SoCs in 2014.
Separately, Mellanox showed sat the summit CoolBox, an integrated networking subsystem geared for data centers. It includes a top-of-rack switch and a server network interface and supports 10-40 Gbit Ethernet and 10-56 Gbit Infiniband links.

'The Book Thief' Trailer: A Little Girl Changes Everyone's Lives During WWII, What Did You Ever Do?
Movie News By Samantha Wilson on August 21, 2013 | Be the First To Comment"If your eyes could speak, what would they say?" So postulates Max, a young Jewish refugee seeking shelter in Liesel's house during WWII. It's a pretty big question to ask a little girl, but as the trailer for Brian Percival's The Book Thief suggests, just her mere presence changes the lives of everyone in that small German town forever. Liesel (Sophie Nélisse) is sent to live with new parents (Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson) after losing her own family in the middle of WWII. Fitting in as a new girl in a town full of Nazis is clearly hard, but spirited little Liesel learns to cope with a combination of her fists, and through the magic of the written word. Bonding with Papa Geoffrey Rush and Max (Ben Schnetzer) are fun as well. It's still a little unclear from the trailer exactly what it is that Liesel does to "transform the lives of everyone around her," as the official synopsis states. Does she incite a revolution? Is it just her precociousness? The Book Thief is an adaptation of a best-selling novel, so my answer is probably there, but I'm not looking to spoil anything. Check out the trailer for yourself here:

Colombia Official Travel Guide
You are here:
Apartment blocks are growing like weeds in big Colombian cities. More and more Colombians are able to afford them thanks to government subsidies to lower income families. Wealthy investors buy scores of more pricey units which they then put on the rental market. Despite the growing supply, there is still a housing shortage and prices as well as rents continue to climb with no end in sight despite some experts' claims that the real estate bubble will soon burst.
If you are interested in buying a new condominium apartment or town home in Colombia, your first step is to pick up one of the free magazines listing all the new constructions on offer, or consult the online versions ( Ex: propiedades.com.co for the Medellin area, metrocuadrado.com for Cali and Bogota, joomag.com for Cartagena ), These are in Spanish, of course. The other way is to physically attend one of the many real estate fairs where all local builders have booths. There are no laws preventing or restricting foreigners from owning real estate in Colombia.
Prices in major cities can go from as little as 35 million pesos (19,444 USD on 2012/09/29) for a subsidized unit to over 300 million pesos ( 166,666 USD ) for a luxury condominium in the best area, with 150 million pesos for one in a medium class neighborhood. Typically the unit will be unfinished, which means concrete walls and floors, and not even the most basic fixtures. Thus, count on spending around 20 million pesos ($11,1111) to properly furbish even the cheapest unit. Parking spots are rarely included, and can cost 10 million pesos ($5555) or more. Finally, your closing costs can be around two million ($1111). Finally, there are your monthly community fees, which will probably run you 150-200 ,000 pesos a month. So the cheapest unit can actually require double the sale price before it can be in move in condition.
Many of the cheaper apartments may claim to have three bedrooms even though the total floor space is only 45-55 square meters. Even at 65 meters, those three bedrooms will be almost closet sized, so if you cannot afford the larger units, at least try to get one that only has one or two bedrooms. They are harder to find because most Colombians families include children and want the extra rooms (which is what you have to bear in mind if you want to put the unit on the rental market). Studio / bachelor apartments are the least common.
If you are not interested in all the work involved in buying a new unit, then the best sources for the secondary market are the major Colombian newspaper classifieds, such as El Colombiano (elcolombiano.com) for Medellin, El Tiempo (eltiempo.com) for Bogota, El Pais (elpais.com.co) for Cali, and El Universal (eluniversal.com.co) for Cartagena, among others.
As mentioned earlier, foreigners enjoy the same rights as native Colombians in purchasing real estate, but financing could present a problem. You cannot finance your property through your bank in the homeland, and no Colombian bank will lend you money unless you have a credit history in Colombia. Note that opening a Colombian bank account requires that you have a "cedula" or national identity card (see my article on banking in Colombia), which you can obtain if you are married to a Colombian citizen or have lived legally in the country for a period of time. If you do arrange local financing, know that interest rates are likely much higher than those back in the old country, and you will have to put at least 30 percent down. That said, most foreigners do 100% cash transactions, and since you can't legally bring a suitcase full of cash into the country, they resort to wiring funds directly to the real estate agency and / or seller from their bank abroad. Needless to say, be sure everything is airtight before handing anybody vast sums of money!
The best suggestion I can make is that before you invest in real estate in Colombia, come to live here in a rental property, get established, then after you have the cedula and bank account, go ahead and buy into what is undoubtedly the best investment here!

Looking at the present scenario we find that every gadget lover run after a handset with massive screen and Sony Xperia Z is the recently released masterpiece that showed off its first look at CES 2013. Its great size reminds us of the second generation phablet of Samsung called Galaxy Note 2. Here is a comparison between some of important specs of the two to help you know more about these two luxurious creations.
Impressive Dimension
It is the first smartphone by Sony that offers you the chance to watch all important stuffs on 5 inch immersive screen and also it is one of the most slender creations which carry 7.9mm of thickness and 146 grams of weight. On the other hand gigantic Note 2 is comparatively thicker and weigthier with 9.4mm thickness and 180 grams of mass.
Huge Screen
As you all know that Samsung is the first brands that started the trend of offering big screen equipped devices but this time Sony has also put its first step in producing the gigantic sized devices. So the Xperia Z fans will get a 5 inch full HD screen with 1,920x 1,080 pixels of resolutions, whereas the Phablet offers a bigger display with comparatively lower resolution of 1,280x 720 pixels.
Advanced OS
Both the masterpieces run on Android operating system, both are furnished with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and the respective firms will be rolling out the even advanced 4.2 version of Android.
Great Snapping Tools
There is no doubt that Sony is known for the best camera features and the users of its newly released device get the best photography experience with its 13MP snapping tool, while Note II has got the 8MP rear camera.
Superb Connectivity
Talking about the 4G connectivity then we just hope that the Z will also join this part in the spring season this year. Also, Note 2 is ready to offers great services on the similar spectrum. Along with it both the models offer you opportunity to experience NFC technology.

Gift Guide 2013: Our Holiday Gear & Gadget Picks
The PopMech editors have been toiling for months, playing with toys, tools, and gadgets to find our favorites for the yearand we brought in a team of master's candidates from the Industrial Design program at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, N.Y., to help us cull the final batch.

Vizio 5.1 Home Theater With Subwoofer
Home-theater setups sound great, but they're a mess of cords. Sound bars are better than a TV's speakers, but that's about it. Vizio's 5.1 sound bar ($500) is the perfect happy medium: a traditional sound bar that gains impressive surround sound with two satellite speakers wired to a subwoofer, which links the trio to the sound bar via Bluetooth. The result is a speaker system that sounds like a legitimate 5.1 configuration but requires none of the annoying setup. Plus, it gets loud, pumping out up to 102 decibels.

Here in Baltimore, in about mid-March I begin scattering my Violet plantings with epsom salt. This is just the regular epsom salt that one can find in the drug stores in 3lb. rectangular boxes. I continue scattering the espsom salt around the base of the Violet plantings once a month, until mid-October. Seems to help blooming and dissuade bugs/slugs. Attached is a photo of my Viola striata growing under a large white oak tree, in our back yard. |

Why John Horne Burns Never Became a Gay Icon
By Jerry Portwood
When David Margolick published an essay in the New York Times Magazine titled, "The Great (Gay) Novelist You've Never Heard Of" last month, people took notice. Because it was true. Who was this man, John Horne Burns, a writer envied by both Gore Vidal and Ernest Hemingway for his prose prowess? Although his book The Gallery was published in 1947, had healthy sales, and was well-received by critics, it fell out of the literary canon and has largely been forgotten, along with its author.
Margolick has crafted a fascinating portrait of Burns in Dreadful (Other Press), which excavates the "short life and gay times" of this man who deserves recognition for writing one of the first and best novels about gay life in the military. Margolick -- who has also written Strange Fruit: The Biography of a Song and Elizabeth and Hazel: Two Women of Little Rock, among other books -- hopes his book isn't ghettoized as "gay," since he intended readers of all backgrounds to want to know this compelling, important narrative. We caught up with the him to find out what motivated a straight man to spend decades researching a difficult, often unlikable gay man who died in obscurity.
Out: You have mentioned that you were working on this book in some form or fashion for decades. What was the ultimate breakthrough, when you knew it was finally done and ready to be published?
David Margolick: When I first pulled the clips on Burns from the New York Times morgue more than 20 years ago, I'd imagined writing only a short article about him. But as I learned more about him, the project gradually grew -- first, into a long feature story, and then into a book. There were four bona-fide breakthroughs: first, when I learned that Burns's papers -- really a few boxes of materials -- were at Boston University. These included all of his remarkable wartime letters, which were in an unsorted heap, barely touched. He's clearly written them for posterity, assuming someone like me would eventually come along.
The second was finding Mark Bassett, who had written his dissertation on Burns in the early 1980s. He'd never gotten it published -- fearing that Burns would become a gay icon a la Judy Garland, the family would not give Bassett permission to use the letters he'd found, mostly those Burns had written to a gay former student of his named David MacMackin -- so publishing anything could have exposed him to a lawsuit for copyright infringement.
But Mark had saved all of his precious materials, including interviews with many people who had since died, and graciously shared them with me. With that and the B.U. letters, and my own numerous interviews, mostly with Burns's former students, I felt I had enough for a book. The third breakthrough was getting Burns's younger brother, the lawyer Thomas Burns of Boston, to authorize me to use the letters. He could not have been more gracious -- partly because he felt that 'Jack' deserved a biography, and partly because, 60 years after his death, John Horne Burns remained a vexing mystery even to him, and he wanted to know more. The fourth came when Judith Gurewich of Other Press bought the book -- on the spot, without reading a word of it. That was an act of great faith and courage on her part.
As for knowing when to quit, I'd simply run out of places to look for material. Then the only problem was when to stop tinkering. In fact, you never do. I'm still marking it up and, I hope, improving it for the paperback!
After writing several biographies and being a pro at historical and archival research, it must have been daunting to delve into the background of such an "unknown" person. It reminded me of what Justin Spring said when he wrote his book, Secret Historian, that biographies are rarely written about people who didn't end up with fame and fortune. Was that discouraging? Or did it prompt you to want to tell Burns's story even more so?
As I said, since I never imagined this would become a book, I was never daunted. Besides, it's refreshing to write about obscure people, not only in books but generally: the material about them hasn't been all picked over, and the people you interview haven't reduced their sentiments to sound bites. How many times have the same people been asked the same questions about Sylvia Plath? Best of all is to write about someone like Burns who was formerly famous, because it means there's information out there; it just needs to be excavated. It's a thrill to discover, or reintroduce, someone; it means the work you're doing is truly original.
Two things were frustrating. First, because Burns was such a loner, he seems not to have corresponded with very many people, including the leading literary people of his era. I checked many, many collections for his letters, and almost always came up empty. It was especially hard to find letters from the end of his life. He sent a few to his Italian lover, but having told me that she'd saved some, the man's daughter never managed to find them for me. And he sent some to his sister, but she refused to speak with me. I'm convinced that Burns's mother saved his all-important final letter -- crucial because it casts doubt on the widely-held (at the time) assumption that Burns had committed suicide -- only because she'd not yet gotten around to throwing it away. (I'm hoping some additional letters might surface simply from the publicity Dreadful is generating, but that hasn't happened yet.) Second, some unimaginative book review editors are Newtonians: to them, people who are obscure must be obscure are deservedly obscure, and so they tend to help them remain obscure. Fortunately, to many, many publications and websites, including yours, the intrinsic interest of Burns's story -- including his very obscurity, and why he fell into it (as I explain in the book, very much a function of his gayness) -- has made him worthy of attention.
Having a central character who is inherently unlikeable must have seemed burdensome as well. Were you forever looking for the "bright" moments, something to make him more relatable and likable?
I don't think I really had to. I knew I had to present him as he was -- that I couldn't prettify him to make him more appealing or marketable. That was simply a matter of editorial honesty. And I did not have to look very far to find things about him I admired. I liked his intelligence and wit. I liked the beautiful prose he seemed to toss off so effortlessly, at least before his career nose-dived. I liked his love of music; in fact, to an uncanny degree we liked many of the same pieces, though he was infinitely more knowledgeable about music than I. His love of Italy and Italian things was enjoyable since I lived there once and knew many of the places he did. And I liked his sense of injustice, and his empathy for victims.
So I don't agree with those critics who've written off Burns as a hopeless prick (and incidentally, have given the book short shrift because of it.) For what it's worth, I'm sure I liked Burns more than he would have liked me. I don't think I would have been one of the elite he favored when he was teaching at Loomis, the Connecticut prep school I later attended. I would have been too straight and stolid for him.
Being a straight man writing about a gay author from the mid-20th century, did you feel like you had difficulty accessing this guy's inner world? Did you consult with others to ask them what they thought was going on with his troubled life and self-sabotaging ways?
I did feel myself struggling at times to understand Burns. To begin with, I didn't understand his language -- his code. At times his letters to MacMackin were very nearly unintelligible to me. That's not just because of this code, but because they were so filled with musical, literary, and classical allusions I did not understand. (Mark Bassett, who is gay, had some of the same problems. His single encounter with MacMackin was spent trying to get him to decipher those letters.) Because I sometimes felt so tentative with Burns, among the many people to whom I showed the manuscript were several gay men, many of them writers themselves: not only Mark Bassett and Burns's other prior biographer, John Mitzel, but also Charles Kaiser, John Loughery, Chris Bram, Daniel Blue, Michael Bronski, and Michael Henry Adams. I wanted to make sure I was being neither insensitive nor oblivious.
For the most part, they assured me I was not. In fact, they were extraordinarily supportive. I've often written about minority groups, including my own, and have sometimes encountered territoriality or resentment. With these men, there was none of that. They wanted nothing more than to help me write something fair and decent and revelatory. Even with all their help, though, I'm still not sure I understand the phenomenon of Burns's self-hatred. People -- including people who knew him -- toss around that diagnosis very loosely with him, as if it's self-evident. I have to confess that I still don't know if it's true.
Burns had very complex feelings about his homosexuality. On the one hand, there probably isn't a single person in his generation who proclaimed it so proudly and publicly, which is effectively what he did in the astonishing chapter on the gay bar in his greatest novel, The Gallery. On the other hand, he resorted to all the usual subterfuges of the era -- like placing a picture of his 'fiancée' prominently in his apartment -- and was especially cruel to other gay men, like the fellow teacher he trashed in his prep school novel, Lucifer With a Book. The poor guy couldn't win -- in Burns's eyes, he was both too gay and not gay enough -- and the book very nearly destroyed him. What is the relationship between arrogance and self-hatred? Are they two sides of the same coin?

Sup, Drunks?
October 31st, 2011Hello.
Figuring one of every six Miller Park Drunk posts of late were either co-written by me or mentioned me, I finally set aside my fear of rejection last Friday and asked Vince, left, if I could be taken in as the second MPDer. Fortunately for me, he complied.
"But who is this 'Maas' author?" you ask with feigned surprise. Before I officially tag myself into this ring of dick jokes, halfassed Photoshops and obscure pop culture references, I thought I'd formally introduce myself and help prepare you for what you'll get from me.
Who am I?
You know, I feel like that's a question to which there's really no true answer (I'm kind of deep!). But if forced to narrow it down to a few bullet points, I'm a Sagittarius. We're known for our lack of astrological knowledge. Beyond that, I'm a Milwaukee-based professional writer... in the absolutely loosest sense of the term. I liken my writing as a living to how Jack Wilson is technically a professional baseball player, except that I've never had the ability to trick a mismanaged organization into overpaying me. My mismanaged organization pays me exactly what I'm worth.
You probably know me from...
Writing those few sentences above this. I sincerely doubt any of you know who I am. Don't get me wrong, it's not because you guys aren't learned and well-versed people. Rather, I am just that unknowable. I'm like the Nearly Every Baseball Blogger Ever of baseball blogging notoriety. However, that's not to say I haven't tried to build my brand. I cut my teeth with the now-defunct Brewers blog Right Field Bleachers. I write over half the Brewers-related content at The Onion-affiliated websites The A.V. Club Milwaukee and The A.V. Club Madison. I contribute content (primarily music and some Brewers stuff, when possible) to Milwaukee Magazine, too. I also (hardly ever) write for Boston-based baseball blog Bugs & Cranks.
You may have also heard of my new Wisconsin sports-themed T-shirt company Forward Fabrics and my, like, never updated pizza blog Doctors Of Za, where I write under the handle "T. Mario."
What to expect from me.
I've loved the Brewers for roughly 21 of my 26 years. The missing annuals were my first five, when I was either a clueless, drooling piece of shit and/or not aware that anything that wasn't a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle or one of my own boogers existed. Still, I think that's a pretty honest and admirable assessment of my Brewers fandom. Thus, I am able to produce obscure names like Jesse Levis, Jody Reed, Turner Ward and Rocky Coppinger to serve as the mortar to bind the bricks that are my contemporary Brewers takes. I sponsored Tim Dillard's Baseball-Reference page waaaaay before it was cool (Estimated date of it being cool to sponsor Tim Dillard's Baseball-Reference page: Never). I'm also certain that I'm one of two people responsible for John Axford using "New Noise" by Refused as his entrance music in save situations. This heavy metal magazine agrees. In short, I care deeply about the Brewers.
Hopefully, I'll be able to help bring well-thought, well-written and funny posts to the site. They'll be in the vein of Vince's humor and writing, except without the pictures of that dog in the lobster costume. I don't know what that's about. I also swear a lot more often and have been known to overuse parenthesis (like, a lot). If this all goes correctly, Miller Park Drunk will be a better site with more updates, Vince will get more visitors/ad revenue, I'll sell more shirts and we'll all get our dicks wet and our pussies (consensually) jammed. I mean that last part figuratively, of course.
And maybe--JUST MAYBE--we'll share a few laughs along the way.
One comment on "Sup, Drunks?"
Welcome "Tyler" if that's your real name. But if you dont post photoshoped brewer related pictures – where will I find my brewer related porn? Gomez and jiggly monster woman and Braunie with Sheskank make it possible for me to get through these long lonely dark days of winter. Not to mention Bret Lawrie and the half wit canadians in their long-johns. Also, how do you feel about Jim Edmonds and his crop top t-shirts?

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Blanco!
Facts about Blanco
- Breed: Domestic Shorthair
- Color: White (Mostly)
- Age: Kitten
- Sex: Male
- Hair: Short
Blanco's Info...
I am already neutered, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This is Blanco. He was born March 11, 2011. He is neutered with first round FVRCP vaccines, and is litterbox trained. Very playful and affectionate, but a little shy.
He is bonded with his brother Tripper. They can be separated, but if you want to adopt only one, we'll cover the litter-mate's expenses so they can go together.
We have no "adoption fees" but donations are gratefully accepted. I spend $55 on each cat to get it fixed and vaccinated...if you want the kitty but that's too much money, any donation helps. We have no sponsors and rely only on donations to keep us going.
Other Pets at Feline Foundation of Utah
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Blanco, a Washington Terrace Domestic Shorthair kitten was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Domestic Shorthair for sale in Washington Terrace, or seeking a Domestic Shorthair kitten from a breeder in Washington Terrace.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Washington Terrace already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Washington Terrace breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Domestic Shorthair breeders who help with Domestic Shorthair rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Washington Terrace paves the way for another one to be saved.

As I delve deeper into Data Loss Prevention (DLP) technology, I am noticing some uncanny similarities between select SIEM challenges and DLP challenges in large enterprises. I pointed out in this post on SIEM that security monitoring tools require associated processes in order to be useful and successful. Specifically, alert triage and security incident response processes have to be in place to make a decision and then to affect environment changes based upon the tool output.
DLP alert triage process and related incident response (IR) procedures have to be in place for DLP to be useful as well, but there are a few interesting differences. For example, DLP alert triage is MUCH more likely to involve a data owner or a representative of HR, legal, finance, etc (i.e. somebody from outside IT and information security teams). An incident response process will almost certainly involve somebody outside of IT. Thus, an IR process must have a strong handoff component so that the alerts are triaged, responded to and closed and then DLP rules are refined, if needed.
On a related note, what do you think are other mandatory processes and practices to have around DLP? I suspect the answer will depend on the use case type (regulated data vs intellectual property protection), DLP modules deployed (discovery, network, endpoint) and a set of other constraints, but let's have a discussion here.
Unlike SIEM, DLP is used for automated blocking/remediation of detected issues. Oh my! I could not imagine that a company will actually use "encrypt sensitive documents discovered on desktops and 'hide' the key from the user, unless he is authorized," but some do exactly that. Why can they? Because it is not seen as "IT interfering with business," but BUSINESS affecting the business, a stark difference from most other security technologies. What other automated DLP remediation methods have you seen in common use?
There are some sad similarities. In the field, DLP technology seems to be affected by the "magic-box-itis" disease as much as SIEM. "Just get a DLP box and the data will never leak" is certifiably crazy, yet still common. Just as with SIEM, more companies like to BUY more than they like to USE the tools. Also, companies fail to understand that data can move throughout and outside of today's ever-complex IT environments in a dizzying array of methods, both digital and analog. Just as with SIEM, the role of integration with other systems – both enterprise-wide (such as IdM) and local (such as endpoint tools) – is often underestimated for DLP projects.
Finally, a lot of DLP analysts state that DLP "must involve the business." It sure makes sense! However, what should an information security team do if a business unit refuses to take responsibility for their own data? There has been no clear guidance on that, apart from checking your parachute. In essence, it creates an interesting "DLP conundrum": DLP process must involve business, IT/infosec cannot do it alone, but business kicks the ball back into IT. So, what's IT's next move?

The title says it all. I've got a longer post on Mr. Hughley's comments:
Foreign Policy says that many coastal cities are doomed. I think drastic measures will be taken, at least in the U.S., before we get to total disaster, but who knows:
So much for Wal-Mart having the lowest prices:
…80 percent of the stuff in Target and Wal-Mart is identical." The prices are often identical, too. The most recent comparison by Bloomberg Businessweek found only a 46-cent difference between the two retailers per $100 of purchases. (You'll save that 46 cents at Target, although Wal-Mart usually wins independent price comparisons.)
Rick Scott is an asshole. Is this quote sarcasm, or is he just that dense?:
"Early voting will end Saturday night," Scott told reporters in response to the request. "But I want everybody to get out to vote."
Pay close attention this line:

Notice how it doesn't mention Republicans asking for more time so that people can vote. Notice how the post also says that GOPers are the ones who cut early voting hours. Asshats I tell ya.

May 22, 2013 - News Release from the city of Joplin, MO
TKF Foundation Provides Funding for Butterfly Garden and Overlook at Cunningham Park
Stories of courage, heroism and resilience will be part of a new educational space and healing garden at Cunningham Park, thanks to the TKF Foundation's Open Spaces Sacred Places initiative. The Foundation's OSSP fosters natural settings for thepublic in helping them cope with stress and burdens resulting from disasters.
During the second anniversary event of the May 22, 2011 tornado, Traci Sooter, Director of Design/Build programs at Drury, announced that Joplin and New York City will receive a portion of a $585,000 grant for the communities to each create an open space in recovery and healing. A multi-disciplinary research and design team proposed the "Landscapes of Resilience" project that will study the role of open spaces in recovery from both the Joplin 2011 tornado and Superstorm Sandy that hit New YorkCity and surrounding area, killing 72 people and causing extensive damage in October 2012.
Joplin's Butterfly Garden and Overlook will be located in the northeast section of Cunningham Park, within three lots the City recently purchased following the tornado. Cunningham Park is the City's oldest park and has hosted many events and gatherings on its grounds through the years. Although destroyed by the tornado, Cunningham Park became the central gathering spot for the City's daily press briefings and the community gathered together at the Park for the moment of silence one week after thedevastating tornado.
City officials appreciate the work of many in seeking this grant to help the citizens who endured much stress and turmoil after the tornado that killed 161 people and destroyed much of the city's urban forest, including 116 trees in Cunningham Park.
"Joplin has a story to tell," said City Manager Mark Rohr. "It's not just the story of the tornado, but the heroic acts of our citizens and their neighbors took to help themselves and, more importantly, each other. We are a community that has shown much resolve in moving forward in our recovery and healing. This grant from the TKF Foundation will help us create a beautiful setting for all to not only remember, but to refresh and renew themselves after having been through so much. We are thankful for the honor of being selected as part of the Open Spaces Sacred Places initiative."
The grant provides $200,000 for the construction budget of Joplin's Butterfly Garden and Overlook. Other budget allocations go toward specific segments of the Landscapes of Resilience project including research efforts for a five-year period, as well as the necessary equipment, documentation and staff resources to implement the project. Travel expenses and construction of an OSSP within the New York City area round out the budget. The NYC site has not been determined as of yet.
The project team for the Butterfly Garden and Overlook includes several organizations who are committed to helping Joplin, and who recognize the healing power that nature can provide. These include Drury University; Cornell University, Civic Ecology Lab; U.S. Forest Service, Northern Research Station; Forest ReLeaf of Missouri, and Great River Associates. Other organizations will also be involved as the project relates to Superstorm Sandy and the New York City project.
During the anniversary event, students from Drury University were at Cunningham Park gathering stories from those affected by the tornado. These stories and related items could be incorporated into the educational space being developed for the Overlook project.
Established in 1996, the TKF Foundation is a private non-profit that funds publicly accessible urban green space. The Foundation partners with organizations to create Open Spaces Sacred Places that increase a sense of community and contribute to a deepening of human connections.
Butterfly Garden and Overlook
Cunningham Park, Joplin MO
Funded by the TKF Foundation - Open Spaces, Sacred Places Grant
Design by Drury University, Hammons School of Architecture
How was the design conceived?
The design of the Butterfly Garden and Overlook recreates the outline of three homes erased by the 2011 Joplin tornado, provides a pavilion, water features, storyboards, a butterfly garden and four sacred spaceswith benches and journals that provide a space for which to reflect and heal.
The design weaves together four main conceptual design ideas derived from Worden's four tasks of Mourning with the four elements of every TKF Open Space Sacred Place. These tasks describe the means by which a healthy person works through the pain of grieving for a loved one or something lost, and moves into the next phase of life. Architectural and natural elementssymbolically represent the tasks as a person moves through the gardens.
During the May 22, 2011 tornado over 8,500 homes were erased from the Joplin. The design suggests "penciling in" the outline of 3 homes that were destroyed on the site of the gardens. This metaphorical sketch of the homes responds to Worden's first task, accepting the reality of the loss and our assignment of that task, the Portal. Visitors will pass through the same locationof what was the portal of the lost home, the front door.
The Path takes the visitor on a journey around the site allowing for Processing the Pain of Grief and promoting reflection.
There are four areas that act as destination along the path and provide a space to Adjust to a World Without the Deceased (or what was lost). All four spaces include benches, a small bubbling water feature and journals, and in addition, the fourth has a water wall tiled with drawings made by local children adding hierarchy to the space and tranquil sound to the experience. All ofthe water features represent the renewal of the community.
Along with eleven native Missouri shade trees and native plantings the unifying circle of the "Butterfly Garden" provides an encompassing sense of boundary, safety and enclosure within the OSSP. At the Overlook, the "outline" of the house also acts as surround; plaques telling the story of the tornado will educate future generations on the destruction, acts of heroism, survival and the Miracle of the Human Spirit while providing an enduring connection to the deceased (or what was lost).We move on but don't forget.
Why are we collecting your Stories and Photographs?
Your stories and photographs collected here today may be used in the interpretive storyboards at the Butterfly Garden and Overlook. They will also be compiled into an oral history account for theCity of Joplin and may possibly be used in future projects depicting the fateful day of May 22, 2011.

Hi! I am just curious what kind of wildflower this would be. I found it in an open spot of forest. It isn't horsenettle. It's fruit is green and round, very much like a pea.
The flowers were very small, perhaps .25 inch at most. If you could identify this for me, that would be great. Thanks! |

Quite common here in SW MI, at the outer edge of a small wooded preserve in mostly disturbed soil in full sun, and scattered randomly in a nature preserve both in partially shaded areas and mostly sunny spots; I can't say if in both locations it was recently introduced or not; I only started paying close attention the last couple of years since I retired but it was never obviously present in other locations like along the roadside. |

My Brother's Keeper -- or Big Brother's Keeper?
Fortunately for President Obama, there is one job where his approval ratings are soaring: fatherhood. Bitter policy debates aside, the dad-in-chief has been from the public's perspective a good role model where it counts -- at home. We may disagree the views he's instilling in his daughters, but in a society as broken as ours, we applaud the fact that he was there to instill them at all.
Like almost half of all kids today, having a father in the home was a luxury Barack Obama didn't enjoy. And yesterday, he launched a new program designed to spare other children that same fate. "By almost every measure," the President said at yesterday's Rose Garden event, "the group that's facing some of the most severe challenges in the 21st century in this country are boys and young men of color. We assume this is an inevitable part of American life instead of the outrage it is." After rattling off a series of sobering statistics on poverty, education, and crime, the President unveiled an initiative called My Brother's Keeper to improve the odds for the next generation of men.
With the help of more than $200 million in private foundation dollars, the administration plans to give at-risk kids the chance to stay in school and out of the criminal justice system. Although the details are vague, the President explained that he was creating a government task force to evaluate the effectiveness of different approaches. Of course, the danger is that My Brother's Keeper becomes Big Brother's Keeper -- a distinction the President seemed to understand in his speech. (But as Americans know from experience, rhetoric rarely translates to reality in this White House). An overly involved government is not, the President insisted, what he has in mind.
"In this effort, government cannot play the only -- or even the primary -- role. We can help give every child access to quality [education], but we can't replace the power of a parent who's reading to that child. We can reform our criminal justice system to ensure that it's not infected with bias, but nothing keeps a young man out of trouble like a father who takes an active role in his son's life." Obviously, the President is trying to reassure everyone that this won't become another Washington boondoggle -- but anyone familiar with the last five years of this presidency is right to be skeptical.
We agree with the President that the number of impoverished and imprisoned young men is a major crisis for our culture. Where we part ways is on the strategy for combating that crisis. It's fine for the government to bring awareness to the problem -- but it's not fine, nor possible, for the government to be its solution. When the President's task force pieces together what works from other programs, those "best practices" should include an emphasis on marriage and family. Because until now, the President's agenda -- with an emphasis on sexual liberalism, same-sex "marriage," abortion-on-demand, religious hostility, and government education -- have exacerbated the very problem he wants to fix.
Focusing on minority kids could have a huge impact on American society -- if the President realizes that marriage, life, and faith are essential ingredients. While we support this as a priority, what we don't support are the President's actual policies, which undermine the family he speaks so highly of. If liberals were serious about rescuing minority children, they would encourage couples to get married -- not penalize them for it. They would fight for upholding marriage -- not depriving kids of a dad by redefining it. They would defend children in the womb -- not excuse the "choice" that destroys it.
We agree with the President on the sentiment, but not the substance. Until Washington pursues policies that support families and encourage marriage and fatherhood, the cycle of poverty, crime, and underachievement will only get worse.

Red, White, and True Blue
Congress may not always act responsibly, but there are plenty of members who do! Yesterday, we honored the House and Senate leaders who stood on principle and notched a perfect 100% on FRC Action's annual scorecard. This year AFA Action, the legislative affiliate of the American Family Association, teamed up with us in honoring those who are defending and advancing faith, family and freedom on Capitol Hill. Fifty-five of the 153 congressional "True Blue" winners dropped by the Capitol Hill Club for our special reception, and it was encouraging to see the camaraderie in the room among the leaders who take the slings and arrows as they stand for family values.
This year, FRC Action scored votes on everything from ObamaCare and abortion restrictions to the President's court nominees and safeguarding conscience rights. I appreciate the members who took time out of their busy schedules to join Tim Wildmon and me -- as well as the FRC, and FRC Action staff, Connie Mackey, David Christensen, Josh Duggar, Leanna Baumer, Emily Minick, Sherry Crater, and Nick Frase -- for your tireless efforts for our values. Congratulations to the 113th Congress's class of True Blue winners! To see how your Congressman voted, click here. Then, when you get a minute, let them know how much you appreciate their commitment to faith, family, and freedom!
Keeping Faith, but Losing Hope
For the Christians of Nigeria, terror has become a way of life. Most families wake to a familiar nightmare of torture, violence, or harassment at the hands of Islamic radicals, who continue to roam the villages unchallenged. Fear spread like a disease after the latest horror in Buni Yadi, after militants took the lives of almost 60 young men in the most brutal way possible. Blocking the exits to a high school dormitory, terror group Boko Haram set the building on fire, burning the boys alive. Witnesses on the scene said that the teenagers who tried to escape were shot or stabbed.
"From where I was hiding," said one student, "I could hear other students crying at the top of their voices. I saw fire on the roofs of the hostels and other buildings in the school. But God saved my life. After they killed the students and burnt the structures, they fled." A fresh wave of grief washed over the ravaged nation, which has already suffered so much loss at the hands of these terror groups.
Unfortunately for them, their cries continue to fall on deaf ears in the Obama administration. On this President's watch, the State Department's international religious freedom department has "missed some of the biggest crises of our day," according to leading advocate Nina Shea. While families are being terrorized for their faith from Saudi Arabia to Somalia, leaders like Rep. Frank Wolf (R-Va.) have begged the administration to get off the sidelines and defend the persecuted church.
Despite the rising tide of violence, the President still hasn't bothered to fill the State Department's Ambassador for Religious Freedom post. It continues to sit empty when the world needs it most. Unfortunately, the root of this international problem is the administration's handling of faith here at home. With hostility on the rise toward Christians here, persecution is mounting internationally. Because we can't find our way at home, people are losing their lives abroad. Until we get our own house in order, the walls will continue to close in on our brothers and sisters overseas. Please join me in praying for peace in Nigeria and other troubled regions.

Milford company goes completely solar with rooftop arrays

Milford Daily News
October 2nd, 2011
MILFORD — Executives at Clarke, a distributor of high-end kitchen appliances, can't wait to see the electric bill for their Milford headquarters.
Despite running 75 refrigerators, electric forklifts, a television studio and many computers, company's bill should read "zero - or hopefully show a credit," General Manager Sean Clarke said.
That's because its 106,500-square-foot building is now powered by more than 2,300 solar panels on its roof.

Solyndra bankruptcy is aberration, solar power executives say
Los Angeles Times
September 29th, 2011
National media "chatter" surrounding the much-publicized bankruptcy of Fremont, Calif., solar panel producer Solyndra Inc. and the loss of $535 million in federal loan guarantees is hurting more successful renewable energy companies and obscuring the new industry's success, solar executives said.
In a conference call Thursday, members of Californians for Clean Energy & Jobs, a coalition of green businesses and environmentalists, said they wanted to put the Solyndra scandal into context. The controversy led to high-profile hearings in Congress and widespread Republican party criticism of the Obama administration.
The solar executives stressed that solar panel costs have plummeted, fueling increased residential and commercial demand for renewable energy. Additionally, the solar industry has come up with creative financing programs that allow homeowners to get off the utility electric grid without having to invest large amounts of money in buying rooftop solar systems.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado sits beside GMC Sierra sibling at Toronto Auto Show
In typical fashion, GM have launched two parallel pickup trucks that share the same underpinnings - the new 2014 Chevrolet Silverado eats porridge at the table beside its GMC Sierra sibling before going to work. Both the new Silverado and Sierra can be seen at the 2013 Toronto Auto Show.
The Chevrolet Silverado will be available with 3 new engines, all of which add efficiency while also adding more power. The new engine list includes two V-8s - a 5.3 litre and a 6.2 litre as well as a new 4.3 litre V-6. All three engines include cylinder deactivation technology and power-boosting tech including direct injection. Expect best-yet mileage from this pickup since its inception. GM engineers spent more than 10 million hours of computer modeling while developing this engine, so expect these mills to be more refined than ever before.
To learn more about the Canadian release date and to watch a video showing off the interiors of both the Silverado and Sierra, hit the jump.
