Anyone see this? Happened a couple days ago. Schorschbräu Schorschbock 57% finis coronat opus did hold it for awhile. I did some basic math to figure out how much ice you would have to pull out of a 5 gallon batch. You could only get a 6 pack in the end if you started with 5gal of 8% ABV bock just to reach the old record of 57%. http://www.foxnews.com/leisure/2012/...st-proof-beer/http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/1...tm_hp_ref=foodhttp://www.latimes.com/features/food...,7289906.storyhttp://www.ratebeer.com/Ratings/TopAlcohol.asp
Seems like a waste of perfectly good beer to me, but good on them, I guess...
Humans love going to extremes.
Ummm, yuck.
Sounds disgusting. I don't even like liquor that high in abv. So they get a meaningless title until someone manages to make a 66% abv beer next year to top it.
Yeah this sounds disgusting.. I wonder how much it costs?
its around $50-60 dollars for a 12 oz. i think
I tried an Eisbock in Germany when I was stationed there that poured like molasses and was like beer flavored syrup with a helluva kick to it. Don't recall what the ABV was but us GI's drank it straight out of the bottle while most the Germans we knew would mix it with another beer like Bitburger Pills. Think I almost fell on my face after drinking my first bottle.

Smart-gun technology faces many hurdles
At last Wednesday's Seattle International Smart Gun Symposium, lawmakers, smart-gun industry representatives, and gun-safety advocates met to discuss the future of "authorized" guns which only discharge in the hands of pre-authorized owners. Representatives from Sentinl, maker of an add-on fingerprint sensor for existing handguns; TriggerSmart, an RFID-enabled system for existing and brand-new guns; and Allied Biometrix, a firm developing fully integrated biometric sensors which unlock a gun once they sense an individual's "reflexive actions" and "grip style," attended the event, though these companies do not yet have a ready-for-market product.
U.S. plan to train "moderate" Syrian rebels raises troubling questions
The U.S. reluctance to become decisively committed to the complex quagmire in Syria is understandable. However, its plan to insert a U.S.-trained-and-equipped "moderate rebel" force into the mix is deeply concerning — on several levels. While U.S. efforts to support rebel groups to date have been less than successful, there is so much that could go wrong with this course of action, and so little that could go right. There are no easy solutions to an issue as complex as Syria. The uncoordinated, short-term actions of some of the regional states have simply exacerbated what was already a hideously difficult operating environment. If there hasn't been a military solution to the problem that has worked in the nearly four years of the conflict, then the introduction of another 15,000 armed rebels over several years, with an indistinct aim, is unlikely to do much more than further muddy the treacherous waters.
France faces up to problem of Islamist radicalization in prisons
Since this month's Paris attacks, counterterrorism officials have focused their attention on French prisons where, they believe, a significant number of the country's extremists adopted their radical Islamist ideology. About 7.5 percent of the French population is Muslim, but Muslims make up more than half the inmates in French prisons. Extremists often find it easier to spread violent ideology in prison than outside of prison. Most prisoners spend up to nine hours a day together working and later in the prison yard, with minimal supervision. Prison guards, who say they find it difficult to spot extremists, are each typically responsible for 100 prisoners.
Does Obama face the prospect of boots on the ground in Yemen?
For the past three years the Obama administration has been deeply reluctant to engage in Yemen, Iraq, or Syria with significant deployment of ground troops. The preferred option has been termed "remote control" with greater reliance on armed drones, privatized military, special forces, and other means. The turmoil in Yemen exposes one core problem with this approach: The drone operations in Yemen, which were run both by the CIA and U.S. Joint Special Operations Command, were highly dependent on intelligence on AQAP obtained by Yemeni government security and intelligence branches. Furthermore, they had the approval of the government in Sana'a so the Obama administration could claim legitimacy for its actions. With the ousting of the Hadi government, both elements are now in question — the intelligence will probably dry up and if some kind of reasonably stable government replaces Hadi then a new regime could claim infringement of sovereignty. If that regime is Houthi-dominated, as seems likely, then while the Iranian-supported Shi'a Houthi have little liking for AQAP, they are equally opposed to U.S. policy. When the air strikes against Islamic State started last August, Western leaders said that that was as far as it would go. This is clearly not the case and not only is mission creep already happening in Iraq and Syria, it now looks highly likely in Yemen as well.
Severe-weather warnings most effective if probability included: Study
Risk researchers find that the public may respond best to severe weather warnings if they include a probability estimate, an important finding not only for the present but also for the longer-term future as climate change brings more frequent and severe threats. As severe storm and other disaster warnings become more frequent, new research in this field could become critical for reducing weather-related injury and death.
No technologies currently available to track, disable small drones
Monday's drone incident on the White House lawn exposed a security gap that Secret Service and counterterrorism officials have been studying for years, but for which they have yet to develop a solution. Four days before the incident, lawmakers examining White House security protocols in response to a series of intrusions, were warned by a panel of experts that the Secret Service's inability to identify and disable drones remained a top vulnerability, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.Security experts say proposals for a higher fence around the White House, together with increased surveillance and environmental sensors, are not enough to easily to identify and disable a drone before it lands.
Belgium confronting home-grown jihadist threat
Belgium is Europe's biggest per capita contributor of fighters to Syria and law enforcement officials fear that at least seventy of 350 Belgian fighters have returned home equipped with skills they learned on the battle field. The Belgian government had brought the concern to national attention in an October document warning about the "danger of violent jihadism that threatens to spread in our society." Belgian officials have not found a link between the Paris attacks earlier this month and planned attacks in Belgium in the following days – attacks thwarted by swift police preemptive action — but common elements include: a clustering of radicals in a small area, the connection between petty criminality and jihadist violence, and the role of prison as an incubator for extremism.
Need for oil the most important reason for interfering in another country's war
Researchers have for the first time provided strong evidence for what conspiracy theorists have long thought — oil is often the reason for interfering in another country's war. Civil wars have made up more than 90 percent of all armed conflicts since the Second World War, and the research builds on a near-exhaustive sample of sixty-nine countries which had a civil war between 1945 and 1999. About two thirds of civil wars during the period saw third party intervention either by another country or outside organization. The researchers found that the decision to interfere was dominated by the interveners' need for oil over and above historical, geographical, or ethnic ties.
CODE program would allow UAVs to fly as collaborative teams
The U.S. military's investments in unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) have proven invaluable for missions from intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) to tactical strike. Most of the current systems, however, require constant control by a dedicated pilot and sensor operator as well as a large number of analysts, all via telemetry. These requirements severely limit the scalability and cost-effectiveness of UAS operations and pose operational challenges in dynamic, long-distance engagements with highly mobile targets in contested electromagnetic environments. DARPA's CODE program is offering the opportunity to participate in discussions to help develop groundbreaking software enabling unmanned aircraft to work together with minimal supervision.
Boomerang: Democrats say they would delay vote on Iran sanctions bill
Senator Robert Menendez (D-New Jersey) announced during a Senate hearing yesterday (Tuesday) that he and other Senate Democrats would not support bringing the sanctions bill he cosponsored with Senator Mark Kirk (R-Illinois) to the floor until at least 24 March. Menendez has led a small group of Democrats who were critical of the administration's handling of the talks with Iran over the latter's nuclear program talks. The bi-partisan approach to the sanctions issue collapsed in the face of what Democrats considered to be a clumsy politicization of the issue by Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), Israel's prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Israel's ambassador to the United States, Ron Dermer. Dermer suggested to Boehner the idea of inviting Netanyahu to speak in front of Congress to criticize the administration's policy. Netanyahu is lagging in the polls behind the center-left camp in the 17 March parliamentary elections in Israel, and Dermer, one of Netanyahu's closest political advisers, believed the speech would boost Netanyahu's standing in Israel. The process of the invitation was not less problematic than the invitation itself: In an unprecedented break with protocol, Boehner and Dermer did not bother to consult with, or even inform, the White House or the Department of State that they were arranging for a foreign head of state to speak before Congress.
NYC Russian spy ring busted
In a federal complaint unsealed Monday, prosecutors say that Russian spies used talk about books, or tickets for sporting events or concerts, as code words for conducting espionage against the United States. On Monday in New York, law enforcement arrested one of the men, Evgeny Buryakov, 39, who posed as an employee in the New York City office of a Russian bank. The two other men listed in the complaint, Igor Sporyshev and Victor Podobnyy, had diplomatic immunity and no longer live in the United States. U.S. officials said the men were gathering intelligence related to possible U.S. sanctions on Russia and U.S. efforts to develop alternative energy resources, in addition to trying to recruit Americans in high positions.
Women more active in extremist Islamist groups than previously thought
About 10 percent of ISIS recruits from Europe, and about 20 percent of recruits from France, are women. Though they tend to play a supportive role in the Islamic extremism narrative, women can be just as radical. "What's very striking is that she's not an exception; she's an example of a trend," one expert says of Hayat Boumeddiene, the 26-year old partner of Paris gunman Amedy Coulibaly. "There tends to be an assumption with women that they're doing it under influence, they're being forced or tricked. But I think there's a more complicated story here, feelings of alienation."
NYPD's radicalization report criticized
In a Sunday morning interview on 970 AM The Answer, New York Police Department(NYPD) deputy commissioner for Intelligence and Counterterrorism John Miller criticized a 7-year old report on Islamic radicalization in New York City. The report, "Radicalization in the West: The Homegrown Threat," published by the NYPD Intelligence Division under former police commissioner Ray Kelly, came under fire after a series of articlesdetailed some of the division's counterterrorism operations, including the monitoring of prominent Muslims and Muslim communities in New York City. Those articles contributed to the closure of the unit, which conducted the NYPD's surveillance operations on New York's Muslim communities.
New technology proves effective in thwarting cyberattacks on drones
Engineering researchers from the University of Virginia and the Georgia Institute of Technology have successfully flight-tested scenarios which could threaten drones, including ground-based cyber-attacks. The demonstration of U.Va's System-Aware Cybersecurity concept and Secure Sentinel technology was part of a research project led by U.Va. engineers to detect and respond to cyber-attacks on unmanned aerial systems.
Invisibility cloak closer to reality: Concealing military airplanes, and even people
Since the beginning of recorded time, humans have used materials found in nature to improve their lot. Since the turn of this century, scientists have studied metamaterials, artificial materials engineered to bend electromagnetic, acoustic, and other types of waves in ways not possible in nature. Now, Hao Xin, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Arizona, has made a discovery with these synthetic materials that may take engineers one step closer to building microscopes with superlenses that see molecular-level details, or shields that conceal military airplanes and even people.

How Art Museums Are Promoting Bike Culture!
Painting by Paul Signac
In exhibitions and programs across the country, museums are devising new ways to showcase the exquisite mix of engineering, craftsmanship and style that moves us forward on two finely calibrated wheels!
Even for Portland, Oregon, it was the perfect storm: a major bike collection was opening at the Portland Art Museum while the city was hosting the World Naked Bike Ride.
And that's how a thousand nearly naked people, who paid a discounted admission price of $1 for every item of clothing they wore, came to see "Cyclepedia: Iconic Bicycle Design," a selection of 40 bikes owned by Vienna-based designer Michael Embacher, when it premiered at the museum early last month.
Aside from the nudity, the event resembles much of the bike-related programming art museums are developing these days: It showcases the bicycle as an object of design, as well as personal expression. It reaches out to non-traditional museum audiences. It rewards visitors for using alternative transportation. And it's packing in the crowds. More than 20,000 people have visited the show already, says museum director Brian J. Ferriso. "Communicating that objects of great design are in our world every day opens up a door of accessibility that's very important to an art museum," he says.

Well, since the engine is laying on the ground having been torn out of the aircraft, I'd hazard a guess that the helo lost a blade or part of one and the imbalance ripped the engine out.
Saw that happen once on a piston powered Bell.

"Our Save the Dates came quickly and were delivered beautifully in a nice box. It seems silly, but it really made us feel special! The cards were beautiful and people receiving them love the design. It was very easy to get them ready to go--just address and send them! We also realized when we were sending them, that we needed a few more for people we hadn't accounted for. It was super easy to order more."
"The design was so easy and fun to create. It allowed me to upload the image I wanted and fit it to the design. Lots of cute design options and color schemes. Arrived in time and look great!"
"I personalized my save-the-date on the website. It was easy and hassle free! The product looks exactly like you would expect. I got my proof in a timely manner and even got my shipment in well before the expected delivery date. I am very very pleased and cannot wait to get my save the dates sent out!!"
"This card was above and beyond my expectations. The print, the paper quality, the customer service was superb! We added a personalized photo and saying. It was a little long for the example, but I worked with an amazing customer service representative named McKensie. She was awesome and without her these save the dates would not have been so wonderful and personalized to our wedding."
"I was nervous to get the order because I would have had a heart attack if they turned out badly. They turned out GREAT though and I couldn't be happier!"

Drug-resistant bacteria are causing the deaths of at least 23,000 Americans a year, a problem exacerbated by injudicious use of antibiotics in treatment of patients—and their pervasive use in agriculture.

Why does he have to sit out?
i concur. a lot of bull**** and get out of here.
I hope Burton isnt afraid to attack the rim. We need more attack when the 3s aren't falling.
Because he could play defense.
Naz needs to figure his shot out. you cant get any more open or in rhythm.
no otherwise montes last show would have been an and one
if you get lucky and tv is ahead of radio. get a dvr and pause/start tv so it matches up with radio. I did that for Boys state basketball because i couldnt stand the tv announcers.
Losing to Kentucky in the finals.
Calhoun just picked ISU as the 3 and lower seed to do some damage in the bracket.
watchespn should have replays after a while
I was going to say the same. Nba teams crank the defense up the last few minutes. I think this is catching many teams of guard. Shots they had open earlier are now closed down and scrambling to find...
Halftime they had it fixed
Evidently they need screen time
Was the crowd supposed to get pumped from all the bricks we layed? Or the horrendous defense?

Exactly. Going 200 mph inches from other cars all around you, in a firesuit (so its like 100 degrees). And do all this for 3-4 hours. No way i would make it 5 laps, but would love to do the ride...
Evidently brad thought the race was over
wow. he needed help getting out of the car. my guess is he broke his leg.
with no safer barrier, that is a brutal hit. engine was shoved part way into the car.
What the hell?
Must still be Matt Thomas's fault? Wish niang would just pick up the third foul so he would have to sit got a while.

Blizzard react angrily to IncGamers David Brevik interview20 August 2012 by Paul YoungerLast night we posted an interview with Diablo creator David Brevik who is currently working on the ARPG Marvel Heroes. Over night things heated up and sadly members of the Diablo 3 development team took offence at Davids responses in our interview.This is not how you conduct yourselfWhen I conducted the interview I asked David to be honest and open about the latest Diablo title, after all, he had invested years in helping build up the franchise name and created two outstanding ARPGs with the first two Diablo titles.This morning I think the whole industry was saddened to see the Blizzard Diablo 3 team hit Facebook with very uncalled for comments. Not only was David polite but he was also entitled to his opinion, just like anyone who has picked up and played Diablo 3 since launch.Having followed Diablo 3 more closely than most, I was extremely disappointed to see that Blizzard can not take criticism from their customers or from members of the videogame industry. It is highly unprofessional to react in the way they did.As we all know, and David quite rightly pointed out in the interview, the Diablo 3 team made some fundamental game design errors which effectively turned many of the fans off the game in a matter of weeks. Not even Blizzard can deny that Diablo 3 has been hit by massive game issues, despite being alerted to them by the community for years, which is why the Facebook responses this morning were all the more shocking.It is refreshing when a developer speaks his/her mind, the industry needs more of it. Constructive criticism from developers and the community is of the utmost importance during a games development cycle to help make a game the best it can be. Developers need to embrace this feedback, something Blizzard has failed to do for a long time now.As Blizzard watched players numbers drop after launch they had to take notice of the community, Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime stressed in a statement to the players he wanted this to be game that was played for many years to come so action had to be taken and fast. It was only after all the backlash from the players and the lack of people actually logging in that anything was done.Blizzard has gone back to the drawing board to sort out the endgame and intemisation with patch v1.0.4, and as a Diablo player, I am hoping that these changes will revitalise the game and help bring the franchise back to its former glory.What the current Blizzard team seem to forget is that although Diablo 3 sold 10 million copies on release, it was the previous two games that more than helped shift these numbers. David Brevik is part of the Diablo franchise legacy and Blizzard should not forget that.If you have not seen the interview then you can watch it below
OwnedCore NewsBlizzard taking close-mindedness to the next level?by HI5 Published on 08-20-2012 05:19 PMAs probably all of you know, since release of Diablo 3 and even earlier since announcement of Mists of Pandaria - blizzard is having big issues with taking criticism. Jay Wilson, Chris Metzen and other blizzard workers are constantly trying to convince us that their semi-good ideas are brilliant and that we will love them eventually no matter what we're saying.But just yesterday Blizzard took it to the whole new level - Jay Wilson and other Blizzard Developers has posted very non-professional and rude comments about incgamers interview with David Brevik, on Chris Haga facebook page (screen and link to the interview below). You might wonder why they've acted in such a childish way? was David Brevik rude in his interview? -no. Was he speaking honestly what he don't like about the game -yes (in a very polite way). Yet the Blizzard developers did something that professionals should never do (as example Jay Wilson comment "F**k that loser")This is not the way professional should act, and its very sad that long year game developers company not only can't take criticism from their own customers / fans, but also from the other game developers.You can find full article about this whole situation and the video with original interview on incgamers.com Blizzard react angrily to IncGamers David Brevik interview | IncGamers.comScreen with comments:

Your interest in sports isn't as important to him as you think. As long as he can watch the game, he's fine. You don't have to watch it with him. If you really aren't that interested in his favorite football or basketball team, it shouldn't bother him one bit. But if he takes sports seriously and you're misquoting stats, butchering player's names and feigning interest in the score, it will be more annoying than endearing. He will know if your interest is genuine or not, so don't fake it.

PU Senate to debate, consider teachers evaluation by students

Panjab University Senators will consider the recommendations of a committee pertaining to evaluation of teachers' performance by students during the second part of the Senate meeting scheduled for Sunday.
As per the recommendations, only those students with 75 per cent attendance will be permitted to evaluate teachers and would write the feedback based on communication abilities, regularity, response to queries, and informal behaviour of teachers. The students have to submit the feedback forms in a closed envelop, without disclosing the identity of teachers.
Another matter that will come up for approval will be that the student who secures the first position in the masters course at the Department of Hindi, PU, will get Rs 33,000 as scholarship. PU alumnus and renowned lyricist Irshad Kamil has donated Rs 4 lakh to the university in the memory of his mother, late Begum Iqbal Bano.
The scholarship will be called 'Late Begum Iqbal Bano Memorial Hindi Scholarship'. It will be effective from the academic session 2013-14. The meritorious student will get Rs 1,200 per month for 10 months in the first year of the MA Hindi course, followed by Rs 2,100 per month for 10 months in the second year. The student will not be barred from receiving any other scholarship simultaneously.
The Senate will also debate the proposal of the Syndicate to frame a policy for grant of affiliation for short-term courses sanctioned by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The Syndics had recommended that these courses should be at par with the add-on courses, the sanctioned strength for short term courses be fixed at 50 students per course and admission to these courses be made along with the commencement of the session of regular classes, that is in June.
Moreover, the House will also discuss whether to grant approval to new add-on courses, including floriculture and landscaping.

LIBYA Biography NCCLHR – David Hammond – Barrister and International Lawyer – Arabic Version
David Hammond has international public law, maritime and criminal experience covering defence, prosecution and advisory matters both in the UK and around the globe often at State, UN and EU level.
David has been instructed in Magistrates, Crown and High Courts for a variety of matters covering various criminal offences, fraud, asset recovery and human rights abuses. He has the international lead for developing the international maritime Rules for the Use of Force (RUF) and Deprivation of Liberty guidance at sea, and he conceived and founded the international 'Human Rights at Sea' organisation as the pre-eminent maritime human rights platform. David also conceived and founded the global 'Missing Seafarers Reporting Programme' as yet another international first for seafarers and fishermen. He has a strong interest in anti-slavery, IUU and investigation of maritime abuses.
David has drafted international state-level agreements, protocols and was the first person to formally introduce Business and Human Rights into North Africa in 2013. Head lawyer for the European Union in East Africa with extensive counter-piracy and human trafficking experience, and political experience in Brussels, he is also UK Counsel to Libyan National Counsel for Civil Liberties and Human Rights. David is a member of the English Bar Council's Rule of Law Committee and is noted in the Legal 500. In 2013, he was the Lloyds finalist for maritime lawyer of the year and is a UK Deployable Civilian Expert for global law and justice matters in complex environments.
David's legal, management and project skills are significant as a result of 25 years international work for governments, NGOs and private clients. He has a network and understands intimately the practical legal requirements and policy processes for setting up new international projects and structures.

Hedge against terror gets cheaper
The city of Houston annually spends hundreds of thousands of dollars on terrorism insurance.

The Department of Corrections is investigating an attack on a prison detainee at the facility's special housing unit on Sunday.
Two of the detainees involved in the incident face criminal charges in local court.
The attack occurred when three detainees were on "fresh air" at the facility's special housing unit. said Lt. Jeff Limo, DOC Internal Affairs supervisor. The detainees were in a secure outdoor area.
The "yard" at that unit consists of an enclosed area directly attached to the housing unit and is separate from the yard used by the general population.
According to court documents, officers were releasing one detainee from his cell into the yard.
Somehow, another detainee, Ninton Hauk, was able to get out of his cell, run to the yard and start fighting the other detainee, documents state. An officer tried to break up the fight, but a third detainee, Yprok Chutaro, ran to join in the attack on the first detainee.
Documents indicate that officers pulled Hauk off the victim, and, after a struggle, pulled Chutaro off the victim.
At that point, Chutaro punched a corrections officer in the mouth and was "combative and belligerent," documents state.
Documents also say another officer suffered an injury to his elbow during the scuffle.
Limo said only one officer suffered injuries.
The first detainee suffered several injuries to his eye, mouth and forehead.
Limo said nobody required a trip to the hospital. Everyone was assessed at the facility, he added.
He said his office is investigating the incident, particularly why all three detainees were in the yard at the same time. Limo said prison protocol allows only one detainee in the yard at a time.
During an interview with Hauk, prosecutors said, the man admitted to having "homemade shanks" in his cell.
Officers allegedly found a shank, which consisted of a 7-inch wire wrapped with "uniform material."
Documents indicate that officers also found two more wires in Hauk's cell.
Hauk was charged with promoting prison contraband, assault and disorderly conduct.
Chutaro was charged with assault on a peace officer, assault and disorderly conduct.
According to court records, Chutaro is serving a prison sentence for an aggravated assault case from 2009.
Hauk is being held in a separate aggravated assault case from 2011.

Oh lawd!
Anyway enjoy that little piece of awesome, don't worry it's completely work safe, while I tell you about the new Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner for Spring 2013.
