Take Cover: Freeway and Jake One's The Stimulus Package
By Tom Breihan on March 12, 2010 at 3:50 p.m. EST
Notable album covers catch the eye, dribble it around a little, and then snap it back into place, forever skewed. They can be funny, gross, shocking, stunning, or just plain wrong. They can define artists. With Take Cover, we aim to track down the most striking new album covers taking up web space and vinyl bins and get the story behind them.
In this installment, we check in with designer Brent Rollins, who created the incredible packaging for the Freeway/Jake One collaborative album The Stimulus Package. The CD comes packaged in what looks like a gigantic money clip, with lyrics and liner notes printed on what look like dollar bills with Free and Jake's faces on them. Inside, there's also a cardboard wallet, which houses the CD and a download card for an instrumental version of the album.
Rollins is part of the ego trip collective, which produced the beloved 90s hip-hop zine ego trip and later went on to produce pieces of greatness like ego trip's Book of Rap Lists and the VH1 reality competition "The (White) Rapper Show". Rollins also designed things like the Boyz N the Hood movie logo and Mos Def and Talib Kweli's Black Star album.
Our interview is below, as is a video showcasing the Stimulus Plan packaging.
News in Brief: Deerhoof, Fucked Up/No Age, Chairlift, Saint Etienne, Freeway/Jake One
By Tom Breihan on March 4, 2009 at 12:50 p.m. EST
Photo by Eric Landmark
-- SF avant-rockers Deerhoof have teamed up with the collaborative music website Indaba to open up their song "Buck and Judy" for remixing--and re-playing-- purposes. They've uploaded the sheet music, tabs, and all the stems from the song to Indaba, and now you can play around with the song however you want, removing or replacing any instrumental piece of the track or adding your own. If you've always harbored a sneaking suspicion that Deerhoof would be so much more awesome if you were their kazoo player, now's your chance to prove it.
-- Next Tuesday, March 10, two of the main faces of circa-2009 positive vibes basement punk will come together, when Matador releases Fucked Up's "No Epiphany" as a 7" single. The B-side: A No Age remix. Pretty soon, we'll all find out what Pink Eyes sounds like with a ton of reverb on his voice.
-- Brooklyn fuzz-pop trio Chairlift are the ones responsible for that "I tried to do handstands for you" song from the iPod commercial, which might have something to do with the fact that they are now signed to Columbia. On April 21, their new label will reissue the band's 2008 debut Does You Inspire You with two new tracks, including one produced by Grizzly Bear's Chris Taylor. And this spring, the band will play a ton of shows around North America, including some opening for Peter Bjorn and John.
-- Smart-pop heroes Saint Etienne, whose Bob Stanley is a newly minted Pitchfork contributor, will soon reissue their 1991 debut album Foxbase Alpha. At four UK shows in May, they'll also perform the album in its entirety.
-- In this YouTube video, the great Philly rapper Freeway announces that he's teamed up with the Seattle-based underground rap producer Jake One. This summer, the two will release the collaborative album The Stimulus Package. Judging by "The Truth", Free's track on Jake's White Van Music album, this is a very good thing.

Simple task: I have an application with 2 NIB files (each NIB file has its own controller). I already suceeded in displaying the window of the 2nd NIB file like I wanted to, but now, I want to click a button on NIB 2 and change a Label on NIB 1.
Now the connecting of the outlets on the NIBs has been done, the problem seems to be to tell Controller2 to change the label in Controller1.
I cant seem to get it done. Is there not some simple call like
[Controller1 [Label setStringValue: @"Hi"]];
(I also tried to create a method to change the Label in Controller1, then instantiate an object of Controller1 in Controller2 and call my newly created ChangeLabel method. This doesnt produce an error, but it doesnt give me the result either).
Thanks for any help!

Spartans CB Johnny Adams returns an interception against Central Michigan on Saturday in Mt. Pleasant.
- Filed Under
EAST LANSING -- They are just two of 11, 365 of the 2,663 combined pounds of football player the Michigan State defense will place on the Spartan Stadium field for Saturday's game against Notre Dame.
At times, though, it seems the entire defense is resting on their backs.
Any search for the distinguishing factors of MSU's defense, which rose to national prominence in 2011 and has yet to yield a touchdown in 2012, should start with cornerbacks Johnny Adams and Darqueze Dennard. It has good linemen, linebackers and safeties, too, but much of what everyone else does is enhanced by what the ...

The Wheatstone Project – one of Australia's most significant resource developments – is nearly 60 percent complete.
The Wheatstone Project is nearly 60 percent complete. At the LNG plant site, equipment and modules continue to be delivered and installed. The roofs of LNG Tank 1 and Tank 2 are now raised and construction of the two condensate storage tanks is underway.
At the Materials Offloading Facility, the breakwater is nearing completion and the 1.2 kilometre (0.75 mile) product loading jetty continues to progress.
The offshore gas processing platform is now in place - 225 kilometres from Ashburton North. The subsea equipment, including wellheads and subsea trees, is being delivered and installed offshore.
The platform topsides represent the largest single integrated topsides float-over installation Chevron globally, has ever completed and is the largest offshore platform ever installed in Australia. The topsides weigh 37,000 tonnes, are 28m above sea level and have been designed to withstand 12 storey-high waves.
The Wheatstone Project is one of Australia's largest resource projects – providing greater security of supply and significant economic benefits such as employment, government revenue and local business opportunities.
A final investment decision to proceed with the Wheatstone Project was made in September 2011, with construction started in December that same year.
In conjunction with the Gorgon Project, it reinforces our position as a leading natural gas supplier and liquefied natural gas (LNG) operator in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Wheatstone Project will include an onshore facility located at Ashburton North Strategic Industrial Area (ANSIA), 12 kilometres west of Onslow in Western Australia's Pilbara region. The foundation project includes two LNG trains with a combined capacity of 8.9 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) and a domestic gas plant.
The Wheatstone Project is a joint venture between Australian subsidiaries of Chevron (64.14 percent), Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC) (13.4 percent), Woodside Petroleum Limited (13 percent), and Kyushu Electric Power Company (1.46 percent), together with PE Wheatstone Pty Ltd, part owned by TEPCO (8 percent).
The project site at ANSIA, is an ideal location for an LNG hub given its proximity to the vast gas resources in the Western Carnarvon Basin.
Eighty percent of the Wheatstone Project's foundation capacity will be fed with natural gas from the Wheatstone and Iago fields, which are operated by Chevron Australia in joint venture with Australian subsidiaries of Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC) and Kyushu Electric Power Company, together with PE Wheatstone Pty Ltd (part owned by TEPCO).
The remaining 20 percent of gas will be supplied from the Julimar and Brunello fields held by Australian subsidiaries of Woodside Petroleum Limited and Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (KUFPEC).
Around 85 percent of Chevron's equity LNG from the Wheatstone Project has been committed to premier LNG buyers.
The Wheatstone and nearby Iago natural gas resources are located about 200km (124 miles) north of Onslow off Western Australia's Pilbara coast. The Julimar and Brunello fields will tie back to the central processing platform.
In December 2008, we selected a preferred site at Ashburton North - 12 kilometres west of Onslow on the Pilbara coast of Western Australia as the location for the LNG and domestic gas plant.
We selected the Ashburton North site after a 12 month study and extensive community consultation to find the location most suitable from environmental, community, social impact and engineering aspects.

Our Campus
McMaster University's main campus, located in Hamilton's Westdale neighbourhood, is comprised of 300 acres of scenic property at the western end of Lake Ontario. Our 30-acre central core is designated for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Nearby attractions include Cootes Paradise, the Bruce Trail, the Waterfront Trail, the Royal Botanical Gardens and the Niagara Escarpment, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
The University is minutes from downtown Hamilton and all the activities a major city has to offer. Buses from the region's public transit system make frequent stops on campus.
The main campus has grown immensely since McMaster moved from Toronto to Hamilton in 1930. The original six buildings are still in use, and there are now 57 buildings.
McMaster University also has a thriving presence across four regional campuses: downtown Hamilton, Burlington, Waterloo and Niagara.

Subject: [Beekeeping] Definition of raw honey
I'm wondering what other beekeepers consider "raw" honey.
My definition is that there's nothing extra added to the honey and that it's not been heated. I do harvest my honey using a cappings scratcher and a manual 3-frame extractor, then allowing it to run through a double sieve to catch excess wax.
For "raw" honey, do you let it run through a sieve or just bottle it straight from the extractor? I've bottled it direct from the extractor and found that my "raw" honey customers (or those who said they wanted raw honey) were a bit taken aback at the layer of wax on top of the honey.
There seems to be some variable around the definition, so - how do YOU process your "raw" honey?

|Greek and Roman
In Greek mythology and Roman mythology, a harpy (plural harpies, Greek: ἅρπυια,[1] harpyia, pronounced [hárpyi̯a]; Latin: harpȳia) was a female monster in the form of a bird with a human face. They steal food from their victims while they are eating and carry evildoers (especially those who have killed their family) to the Erinyes. They seem originally to have been wind spirits. Their name means "snatchers".[2]
Homer wrote that a harpy was the mother of the two horses of Achilles sired by the West Wind Zephyrus.[3]
Hesiod calls them two "lovely-haired" creatures, the daughters of Thaumas and Electra (not to be confused with Electra, daughter of King Agamemnon), who were sisters of the Iris.[4] Pottery art depicting the harpies featured beautiful women with wings. Harpies as ugly winged bird-women, e.g. in Aeschylus' The Eumenides (line 50) are a late development. Roman and Byzantine writers detailed their ugliness.[5]
King Phineus of Thrace was given the gift of prophecy by Zeus. Angry that Phineus gave away the god's secret plan, Zeus punished him by blinding him and putting him on an island with a buffet of food which he could never eat because the harpies always arrived to steal the food out of his hands before he could satisfy his hunger, and befouled the remains of his food. This continued until the arrival of Jason and the Argonauts. The Boreads, sons of Boreas, the North Wind, who also could fly, succeeded in driving off the harpies, but without killing any of them, following a request from Iris, who promised that Phineus would not be bothered by the harpies again. "The dogs of great Zeus" returned to their "cave in Minoan Crete". Thankful for their help, Phineus told the Argonauts how to pass the Symplegades.[6]
In this form they were agents of punishment who abducted people and tortured them on their way to Tartarus. They were vicious, cruel and violent. They lived on the islands of the Strophades. They were usually seen as the personifications of the destructive nature of wind. The harpies in this tradition, now thought of as three sisters instead of the original two, Hesiod's two Harpies are named Aello ("storm swift") and Ocypete ("the swift wing"),[7][8] Virgil's added Celaeno ("the dark") as a third.[9] Homer knew of a Harpy named Podarge ("fleet-foot").[10]
Aeneas encountered harpies on the Strophades as they repeatedly made off with the feast the Trojans were setting. Celaeno utters a prophecy: the Trojans will be so hungry they will eat their tables before they reach the end of their journey. The Trojans fled in fear.
Harpies remained vivid in the Middle Ages. In his Inferno, XIII, Dante envisages the tortured wood infested with harpies, where the suicides have their punishment in the seventh ring of Hell:
Here the repellent harpies make their nests,
Who drove the Trojans from the Strophades
With dire announcements of the coming woe.
They have broad wings, with razor sharp talons and a human neck and face,
Clawed feet and swollen, feathered bellies; they caw
Their lamentations in the eerie trees.[11]
William Blake was inspired by Dante's description in his pencil, ink and watercolour "The Wood of the Self-Murderers: The Harpies and the Suicides" (Tate Gallery, London).
Linguistic use and application[edit]
The harpy eagle is a real bird named after the mythological animal.
The term is often used metaphorically to refer to a nasty or annoying woman. In Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, Benedick spots the sharp-tongued Beatrice approaching and exclaims to the Prince, Don Pedro, that he would do an assortment of arduous tasks for him "rather than hold three words conference with this harpy!"
In the Middle Ages, the harpy, often called the Jungfrauenadler or "virgin eagle", became a popular charge in heraldry, particularly in East Frisia, seen on, among others, the coats-of-arms of Rietburg, Liechtenstein, and the Cirksena.
In popular culture[edit]
Harpies appear in the movie Jason and the Argonauts.
In the manga/anime "One Piece" the character Monet was artificially given bird wings,legs,and a tail through the use of Trafalgar Law's Devil Fruit power making her resemble a harpy and is described as such by a few other characters.
In the manga Everyday Life With Monster Girls, one of the main characters is a Harpy named Papi. Although she has the appearance and mannerisms of a young girl, she is actually a young woman in her actual age.
In the novel The Merlin Legacy by Stephen Davis, the main antagonists are the Furies, who are also named the Harpies.
In the 2014 dark fantasy film Maleficent, the title character strongly resembles a harpy, though she is described as a fairy in the film.
In the novel The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle, Celaeno the harpy appears as a part of Mommy Fortuna's Midnight Carnival, a travelling show featuring mythical creatures.
In the television series Game of Thrones, a harpy appears as the sigil of the three great slave-cities of Meereen, Astapor, and Yunkai.
Harpies are also frequently featured in many fantasy role-playing video games such as World of Warcraft or The Witcher.
Harpies appear as frequent enemies in the Greek Mythology-based video game series God of War

Nice place to stay!
We stayed over the weekend and was well worth it. Canceled another reservation to stay here because it was cheaper. The room was very nice and updated, the counter for the sink in the bathroom really needed an update next...was just falling apart.. Small pool that we didn't have time to use looked nice and clean. Employees were very helpful. Over all very nice.
Will stay again if needed!

Foxconn denies worker unrest slows iPhone assembly
The iPhone 5, the latest in the line of the smartphones, debuted in September.
China Labor Watch said the Foxconn workers were required to work during the eight-day holiday from Sept. 30 to Oct. 7 to meet the production demand of iPhone 5.
Foxconn said its employees in China who worked during the holiday did so voluntarily and were being paid three times their normal pay, in accordance with Chinese labor law.
China Labor Watch said workers also beat quality control inspectors, who carried out their own work stoppage after management ignored their complaints.
According to China Labor Watch, Apple and Foxconn had imposed stricter quality standards regarding indentations and scratches on the frames and back covers of the iPhones but did not provide workers with proper training to meet the new demands.
Apple could not be reached immediately for comment.
In late September, a brawl involving 2,000 workers broke out at Foxconn's factory in the northern Chinese city of Taiyuan, highlighting chronic labor tensions in a country that prohibits independent unions.
Labor activists have said the rollout of the iPhone 5 has led to longer working hours and more pressure on workers.

And the Biggest Cojones Award Goes To...

… a confessed armed robber in Newport, Delaware who's suing the pizza place he tried to rob four years ago and its employees for tackling and disarming him during the attempted robbery.
His suit – which he filed from prison – saying that they treated him roughly unnecessarily.
Yes. He tried to rob the place, his gun fired during the attempt, and he's suing the people who stopped him from completing the robbery.
He says he should be awarded $260,000.
How about the pizza place sends him a pepperoni slice and they all call it even?

Jeff Goldblum recreates Jurassic Park shot
- From: AAP
- August 06, 2014
JEFF Goldblum has channelled his Jurassic Park alter ego in a hilarious dinosaur-themed wedding photoshoot.
THE actor starred as mathematician Dr Ian Malcolm in the 1993 blockbuster film and its 1997 sequel The Lost World: Jurassic Park, revisited the character for an unforgettable photo over the weekend during his friends' nuptials in Toronto, Canada.Wedding photographer Adam Biesenthal shared his shot with The Huffington Post, which features newlyweds Pamela and Jesse Sargent and their bridal party, including Goldblum and his fiancee Emilie Livingston, running in a field towards the camera. Biesenthal grafted an image of a giant menacing T-Rex behind the group, seemingly chasing after them as they attempt to run away. Meanwhile, Goldblum is preparing for his own nuptials after popping the question to 31-year-old Livingston during a holiday in Hawaii last month.

Demo impact level:
This must have been the security company's best demonstration ever.
163 posts • joined 12 Aug 2009
This must have been the security company's best demonstration ever.
If the only tablet you've ever tried to work on, is iPad.
What, do you honestly believe all other tablets are poor man's copies of the awesome apple-flavored fondleslab? Some fanboi.
At least don't generalize. Some tablets out there, while not being close to a laptop in terms of productivity, are actually an usable alternative. hint: Android.
It was an avocado adequate for an advocate!
Our brains are hardwired to seek patterns and try to predict trends and developments. When they succeed, especially if the task was difficult, we feel pleasure of the accomplishment. That's why we like music with complex, hard to predict, but nonetheless predictable rhythm. Same goes for images.
Both Delphi and Lazarus were, and still are, good for server-side development. True, most great libraries were 3rd-party (indy internet controls, were they called?), but the language/compiler supported 3rd-party memory management, full threading support and full OS API access, so, writing heavy-load servers in them was possible.
IF you make the beam rotate while it circles and IF the calculations on general relativity are correct, it might produce a reactionless gravity-like thrust along its major axis, due to unbalanced frame dragging in rotating spinning torus. This impulse drive is the closest you can get to star trek technology. If it works.
Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitoelectromagnetism#Higher-order_effects
Obviously, I am using (and will continue using) "rounded corners" as an euphemism for all attempts to patent something painfully obvious, and then use it to prevent healthy competition. It is, indeed, a way of "cutting corners" in business, litigating instead of out-competing by creating a better product.
For the record, Samsung phones never looked anything like iPhones: square buttons, clearly visible Samsung logo, and, above all, usability and utility.
Payback time, lol. For all the corners Apple rounded.
The letter of the law is the Constitution. Sticking to some other arguments or secret laws instead of Fourth Amendment is his decision, not obligation. Or is there some secret amendment to the Constitution by now?
kudos for mentioning LG, I was actually considering it to become my first smartphone, but got Samsung blackjack instead. But of course, first touchscreen smartphones were by Microsoft/Compaq and Palm/Sony.
Traditionally, *nix servers were susceptible to worms, and Windows PCs - to viruses. The main difference is the former are "alive", and search and attack vulnerable systems autonomously, while the latter are "dead" and require user interaction in order to spread. This latest malware doesn't change the tradition: it's a worm.
A patent must provide a solution, that is
1. working (solving a specific problem)
2. innovative (this problem hasn't been solved this way before)
3. non-obvious (not immediately applied by any specialist encountering this problem)
Clearly, we've got multiple failures in the third point here, that causes most of the patent wars and grievances over the past years. It doesn't mean the system is totally broken, it means it's not supervised properly. Hint: hire better experts to work at patent offices. Reject obvious/overbroad patents.
Using this should get them banned from this server... wait... oh shi~
The wiki article specifically states that non-US made chips can be free from this restriction and be marketed as such. And this shield is made in Russia, with components probably sourced in China.
Yeah, me too. Looks like "smartlinking" to me. Have seen it in some text editors highlighting e-mails since at least '98. Have seen it in most IDEs since about the same time, it's called "syntax highlighting/completion". Can I now patent a wheel please?
It may be just me, but that crack (not the mazda one - the one going across the bottom left corner of the picture) looks awfully straight to me. They should just dust one of the corners to find the martian concrete company logo.
Also expect 50% discounts for one-eyed pirates and up to 20% for short-sighted, color-blind and 10% for those suffering from photosensitivity.
Cheating and pirate viewing will be prevented by DRM chips in glasses and obligatory curtains in viewing room. Contact lenses will be considered DMCA-infringing and their production and sale will be prohibited. Same goes for binoculars.
Obviously, the endpoint ISP should prioritize the service that his clients use, that's why they pay for the internet access, after all. Oh the ISP doesn't have the capacity? So when it offered its users 100 mb/s, it lied? And now seeks compensations for that? How refreshing.
I am aware of data caps, they are part of the package for the service provider, both server-side (e.g. my 5$/mo included 100mb/s bandwidth, but 1tb monthly cap (which will obviously be exhausted after just several minutes of maximal load), and client-side (my mobile service has 1gb cap)). If I pay for more, I fully expect it will be available effectively, not on paper. Neither end-users nor service providers should accept overallocation, especially not codification of this fraudulent practice under laws and regulations. If it means more granular tariffs, that include QoS - so be it, but a service provider shouldn't be expected to get into separate agreements with all the planet's endpoint ISPs.
Every service provider (be it me with my VPS for $5/mo or CNN with its clusters or even Google with its private cables and data centers that span continents) have to pay for bandwidth. Smaller services buy it per Tb and per mbit/s, larger services... too.
What's changed?
Will this new set of rules require service providers to pay twice (to their ISP and to their endpoint user's ISP)? Theoretically, it should be up to my ISP to make sure the bandwidth I pay for is accessible to my clients, not up to me. And clients pay to their ISPs to have access to the Internet, not to their "favorite servers". The proper solution to net neutrality should be a mechanism for ISPs to re-distribute their incomes so that used bandwidths sum up, not new ingenious ways to extract money and make the already uneven playground totally inaccessible.
Speed: 2.4 kbit/s to 1 Gbit/s
What did he invent again?
Can I please file a patent on wheel? Please?
I'll take Hilton. The hotel, of course. Yes, this is my coat.
Don't use internet without it. And I don't mean software/firmware firewall, I mean a standalone box. Good luck sending those packets to bios.
Then, FaceOff.
Given it's developed for Facebook, and is used for backup, I would call it FaceLift.
It might yet live to see its makers land, pick it up and put in a Mars History Museum...
Oh no, the scientists are quite positive there is no advanced/intelligent life in Solar system.
including Earth
I believe, that a technical civilization of our or better level can indeed be detected from light-years distance. Unless, of course, their data compression techniques have made all emissions look like white noise, in which case the scientists will discover another "hot gas giant", "micropulsar" or some other weird astronomical creature.
Given that Amazon drone is autonomous, and chaser drone is likely RF-controlled, a nice burst of radio jamming on proximity would do the trick.
Of course, it can be avoided by smarter drone tech. There's one small problem though: you can do far more illegal stuff if you own a well-equipped drone, no need to chase Amazon drones carrying worthless iPhones.
redacted the rest of the post: I won't give you drone crooks any ideas :3
The spacecraft is Trolling them.
I was thinking along the same lines, too.
Now i need a new keyboard.
Do they have legal basis for their Cease&Desist letter? Is it illegal to merely express an idea nowadays? I think their USB driver needs rebooting...
Is this how they call "bribery" now?
@AlexV, the answer is both simple and complex.
Simple answer: Free from strict causality.
Complex answer: Not having free will simplifies lots of currently intractable physics paradoxes. Grandfather paradox of time travel? No problem, this was set to happen since Big Bang, and is not more paradoxical than that bang itself. Quantum entanglement? No problem, the tests carried on entangled particles were entangled as well, since the experimenters were pre-determined to carry out those exact measurements they did.
Having free will means we're (potentially) free from limitations imposed by our own laws and theorems we discovered: halting problem, Godel's incompleteness theorem, etc. Having it means also, that brain can never be replaced/simulated by a Turing machine, because it is a hypercomputer.
Also, there's an ethical distinction. Not having free will, a murderer will still stand trial and punishment (because his judges and executioners have no free will in the matter as well), but he shouldn't be considered any more guilty than the knife or gun he used.
I use "one's" in such cases. But that's only because English is not my native language.
... writing on curved surface would be awkward, and this is a Note series product?
I'd say, someone forgot to run it through usability study.
What could go wrong?
I'll pick my jump suit now
And I thought Google "did no evil"!
That the described patent only covers such shapes, that include rendering algorithms that perform part of the shape drawing. Now, unless they want to claim the patent also covers html with embedded javascript, regular vector images (like svg) shouldn't be covered either. The problem would be, perhaps, with autohinting algorithms, contained in some vector fonts (TTF), but I believe they both pre-date the patent in question and are covered by a bunch of separate patents.
You shoot a drone... it calls for backup... They automate the response, put a neural network to predict and prevent drone hunting... They call in the governator to play in the next movie.

I am no longer so sure about what Apple can or can't change in consumer market. They killed Adobe Flash. They killed dumbphones. They messed up with firewire. Oh. I see your point :3
The new MacPro is the first Mac I want to actually own... I've never felt so compelled to use the fanboi icon before.
...making criminals break yet another law will shurely stop them.
With this always-on device with microphone and internet connection, they actually might. Literally.
And then report it to NSA.

Of course, I have nothing to worry about, since I've done nothing wrong... Yet what will I do, if what I did yesterday becomes "wrong" tomorrow?

...that Israel in some skewed mind is more rogue than Syria, Iran, Sudan, North Korea and other rogue states in a very, very long list? Is it really their naivete, or maybe, just maybe, a manifestation of a much deeper, older feeling, one they are ashamed to admit?
Hawking's neurodegenerative disease seems to be progressing, impairing his judgement.
To all the haters in the comments: well, haters gonna hate, but the fact remains: Israel is the only liberal democratic state in the Middle East, and apparently, will remain such for a long time. As to palestinian people - my heart goes out to them, but my mind understands, that their decisions in the course of history were the reason for their suffering, and still are. They decided to massacre Jews before Israel was established, they tried to fight Israel after it was established, and they literally exploded in the face of any peace treaty offered to them. And before you try to claim that terrorists are the minority and don't represent palestinian people - check who won the elections in Gaza.
In case you're too lazy to check the statistics - at the height of 2nd intifada, circa 2001, over 90% palestinians supported suicide bombings. Those are the same people, who danced on the roofs at September 11th, and the same people who were throwing candies and celebrating London Subway bombings. Their suffering is their choice, they can stop any time they want and peace will ensue.
Now downvote me.

Feminist Biology
Achieving utopia requires fundamental transformation. Nowhere is this more true than in education. As one of the Founding Fathers of oligarchical collectivism wisely noted,
"He alone, who owns the youth, gains the future."
That's why Chicago Public Schools are planning a curriculum that teaches literally every subject through the prism of liberal racial grievance ideology.
But controlling the future by controlling education extends beyond brainwashing children trapped in government schools. Universities also have important duties to The State in this regard. We recently saw how math can be exploited to advance the official ideology. Lysenkoism can also be applied to the physical sciences, as with feminist biology:
The University of Wisconsin-Madison is looking for a particular kind of biologist: a feminist one. The university has set up a fellowship, administered by its women's studies department, for life sciences research. While it may sound strange for a social sciences department to host a biologist, the researchers in charge of the new fellowship are hoping to make it more of a norm.
That it will be. Nothing anywhere will go uncommandeered by liberal ideologues.
Scholars have long talked about how gender bias [i.e., failure to take into account leftwing gender ideology] affects biology research. … Just this month, Popular Science reported on the problems behind neuroscience studies purporting to find "hardwired" differences between men's and women's brains.
Acknowledgment of these hardwired differences is a thought crime. Larry Summers was purged from Harvard merely for mentioning scientists who believe the male brain is inherently better suited to pursuits like math and physics.
A sympathetic Popular Science interviewed Janet Hyde, who directs UW-Madison's Center for Research on Gender and Women and is an administrator of the fellowship. Where we once had Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison, we now have the likes of Ms. Hyde. What she lacks in comprehension of physical reality she more than makes up in political correctness. Here she defines the field in question:
"Feminist biology is a couple things. One is that it's a critique of past gender bias in biology. So it's pointing at the problems that have existed with the theories or the methods in traditional biology. And then the second part is that it's creating new research, new topics, new methods, new theories that remove the gender bias and take women into account fairly."
That is, it is biology through the lens of liberal ideology. This is already the norm in the liberal arts.
"I think what's happened is feminist analysis has been integrated in some fields really well. You know, in the English department, it's a whole subfield. In the history department, it's a whole subfield. It's partly integrated into psychology. We started in psychology, which is my field, back in the 1970s. And it just hasn't progressed as much in biology. But what we're aiming to do is create a whole new generation of people who will pursue these approaches."
Did you think hard sciences pertain to objective reality and are therefore immune from politically correct B.S.? Guess again:
"I think part of the reason is that many scientists believe that science is very objective and factual. It's a wonderful aspiration, but it's actually not true. You know, any scientist has his or her own point of view and there are things like confirmation bias. We want to confirm our own theories and so on."
That's the job of feminist biologists: to confirm their own theories. Among the most cherished of these is the belief that there is no difference between men and women. That these differences are obvious won't stop moonbats from denying them.
"There are lots of phenomena in biology and psychology that seem really obvious and that's why we do research, to see if those obvious things actually are true. An example I actually give is that it's obvious that the sun rotates around the Earth because every morning you see it rise in the east and every evening you see it setting in the west. So some things that seem intuitively obvious actually aren't right when you have better science to test the idea."
As we have seen from the global warming hoax, sufficient government funding can provide scientific support for any theory, no matter how preposterous, and no matter how obviously our direct experience contradicts it.
Treasure all the great scientific advances this country has produced in the past, because there aren't going to be many more of them unless the ideological gangrene that is spreading through every branch of our civilization is arrested and destroyed.

In a unique collaboration between national space agencies, the United States and Japan began combining elements of their satellite resources on Monday to increase a critical type of Earth observation data. The partnership will more than double the quantity of this data that is used to explore earthquake hazards, forest declines, and changing water resources in the Americas.
This new partnership between NASA and the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, known as JAXA, uses NASA's Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System to download observations over North and South America taken by instruments on JAXA's Advanced Land Observing Satellite, or ALOS. By combining NASA and JAXA data-relay satellite resources, coverage of North and South America nearly doubles. Observations will be made about twice as often.
Under the new agreement with JAXA, NASA will have access to all the ALOS data acquired over the Americas and can make it available to scientists affiliated with U.S. government agencies for peaceful scientific purposes. The Alaska Satellite Facility, a NASA data center located at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, will process and distribute the PALSAR data.
"The expanded ALOS data flow will significantly improve our scientists' ability to monitor regions at risk to earthquake hazards, such as Haiti and Chile," said Craig Dobson, natural hazards program manager in the Earth Science Division at NASA Headquarters. "Now we will be able to see very small changes in surface elevation associated with the build-up and release of strain in seismic zones over virtually the entire area of the Americas, with measurements made as often as every 46 days. Scientists also will be able to monitor seasonal changes in groundwater resources."
