Year-end best-of lists can make for predictable reading. Does anyone not know that Jonathan Franzen wrote the big novel of 2010? Instead, we've asked the authors of our favorites to tell us what they liked reading this year. Here's what they had to say. —Eds.
TERRY CASTLE, The Professor (essays)
Four women who should be in the Library of America: Jill Johnston Lesbian Nation (1973). Gasped when I came across Johnston's obit in September. I still remember shaking with embarrassment when purchasing this once-infamous item at the University of Washington bookstore in 1973. But it saved my personal bacon. So, a long-overdue homage: Johnston was glorious, a sort of lesbian Pan. Eileen Myles, The Importance of Being Iceland: Travel Essays in Art (2009).

I just played a game with Kotl. Nothing special from my part but I want to know what happened at a certain point. We're behind in XP but ahead in Gold, and after 46 (close to 47) minutes, we have a stupid team fight that doesn't make any sense to me. Could someonde please explain how/why we won that.
Again, I'm not doing so hot so I'm not bragging here. Just curious.

All evidence used during the trial of a woman accused of second degree murder in a deadly dispute with her neighbors, could be sealed if a judge approves the Ramsey County Attorney's Office request.
The Ramsey County Attorney's Office filed a joint motion to seal the evidence Friday, along with the defense attorney for Neal Zumberge. Neal's wife Paula Zumberge is on trial for second degree murder. The trial is in recess, and a judge is expected to make a decision sometime next week.
Paula Zumberge is charged with aiding and abetting second-degree murder and aiding and abetting second-degree attempted murder. Her husband, 57-year-old Neal Zumberge, is charged in the shooting death of 46-year-old Todd Stevens and charged with wounding Stevens' girlfriend, 48-year-old Jennifer Cleven, in May.
Neal's trial is scheduled for Nov. 10 at 9 a.m. Authorities argue if the evidence in Paula's trial is released to the public; it would make it difficult to select a fair and unbiased jury panel for Neal's trial.

Norway suspect was mulling other targets
OSLO, Norway -- The anti-Muslim extremist who confessed to a bombing and youth camp massacre that killed 77 people in Norway has told investigators he also considered attacking other targets linked to the government or the prime minister's Labor Party, police said Saturday.
During a 10-hour questioning session on Friday, Anders Behring Breivik asked interrogators how many people he had killed in the July 22 attacks, and ''showed no emotion'' when they told him, police attorney Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby told reporters in Oslo.
The 32-year-old Norwegian has confessed to setting off a car bomb that killed eight people in downtown Oslo and then gunning down scores of youth from the left-leaning Labor Party at their annual retreat on an island northwest of the capital. Sixty-nine died.
Muslim nations declare start of Ramadan
CAIRO -- Religious authorities in most of the Middle East declared that Monday will be the start of the holy month of Ramadan, a period devoted to dawn-to-dusk fasting, prayers and spiritual introspection.
Ramadan begins around 11 days earlier each year. Its start is calculated based on the sighting of the new moon, which marks the beginning of the Muslim lunar month that varies between 29 or 30 days.
Official statements issued Saturday in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Syria, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and Yemen said the holy month will start Monday.
Some countries use astronomical calculations and observatories, while others rely on the naked eye alone, leading sometimes to different starting times in the Middle East.
Syrians step up raids ahead of holy month
BEIRUT -- Syrian troops opened fire on people throwing stones to stop a convoy from advancing toward an eastern oil hub, killing as many as three people Saturday, activists said, as government forces intensified a pre-Ramadan crackdown against protests calling for President Bashar Assad's ouster.
Activists have predicted that demonstrations will escalate during the Islamic holy month, which begins Monday, as both sides try to tip the balance in the more than four-month uprising.
During Ramadan, Muslims throng mosques for special night prayers after breaking their dawn-to-dusk fast every day.

** Lyric book contains lyrics for Kay's near-complete discography!
*** This album is only available digitally, there will be no CD.
Kay The Aquanaut and Factor have already secured their places in the pantheon of underground hip-hop greats. Either together or on their own, the two artists have spent the last 10+ years cultivating a unique and multi-varied sonic world that puts a premium on witty wordplay and grooves that run deep and true.
With the release of the Saskatchewan-based duo's upcoming collaboration Letters Fom Laika, don't be surprised if the rest of the music-loving world finally starts to catch up with what true hip-hop fans have been saying about these two for years. Kay the Aquanaut is one of the most quick-witted rhymers around, mixing bleeding edge pop culture references in with his own clear-eyed visions of the world at large, while Factor backs up his collaborators every step of the way with minimalist tracks that lean on a wide range of influences: from Modeselektor and Freestyle Fellowship to Thom Yorke and Gordon Lightfoot.
Letters is cut from a whole new cloth for this pair. A departure from established hip-hop production norms, each song was built up from scratch with chopped up live instruments pulled from a bevy of collaborating musicians. It may have taken them the better part of 2012 to put it all together, but that care and dedication pours out from every track.
Kay the Aquanaut responds to the splashy production and futuristic vibes with some of his most far-reaching lyrical work to date. The nimble rapper takes on a variety of topics, all related to personal and societal evolution as seen through the eyes of the titular mongrel pup who was launched into space by Russia way back in 1957. There are protest songs, love songs, memoirs of modern living, and memoirs of a modern death.
Letters From Laika is no overstuffed hip-hop disc, spilling over with guest rhymes and filler. In fact, you'll only find one track that features a voice other than Kay—"Pangean Drift" boasts a drop in by L.A.-based icon Awol One. Otherwise, this is a lean, mean, artful and funky album that will scratch the many mental itches of the world's music lovers. This is a hip-hop/sci-fi soundtrack for our dystopian future, and a dancefloor-filling banger for the space dog in all of us. The countdown is beginning...don't miss your chance to hop on board this ride into the deepest reaches of the universe.

The Friday Mash (Mickey D Edition)
Seventy-five years ago today, Richard and Maurice McDonald opened a fast-food restaurant in San Bernardino, California. Businessman Ray Kroc bought out the brothers' equity, and turned it into a world-wide franchise operation.

Many craft beer lovers hold Blue Moon in low regard. However, investment firm executive Charles Sizemore believes the beer is a winner for MillerCoors: it appeals to high-income casual drinkers who want a beer or two after work.
Munich's Hofbrauhaus is franchising another American location. The latest is a historic dining hall in downtown St. Petersburg, Florida, which will be given the HB look and feel.
In her ad for [redacted] Beer, comedian Amy Schumer unleashed a snark attack on beer commercials. Fair warning: the video in this link is not safe for work.
The next-to-last episode of Mad Men showed Don Draper in an Oklahoma watering hole, listening to veterans telling war stories while drinking Lone Star beer and other adult beverages.
Finally, YouTuber Dave Hax shows you how to turn a box of tall-boy beer bottles into a picnic cooler. Cut open the top of the box to make a lid, pull all of the beer out, line it with a plastic bag, and put the beer back in. Add plenty of ice…and voila!
The Friday Mash (Not Mr. Met Edition)
On this day in 1872, the Metropolitan Museum of Art opened in Manhattan. With more than two million works in its permanent collection, "The Met"—not to be confused with baseball mascot "Mr. Met"—is one of the largest art museums in the world.
And now…The Mash!
We begin in Turkey, where security guards red-carded a fan for trying to smuggle beer into a soccer stadium. A whole case of bottles, in an outfit he'd designed for that purpose.
The latest trademark fight pits New Belgium Brewing Company and Oasis, Texas Brewing Company, both of which brew a beer called "Slow Ride". New Belgium filed its mark ahead of Oasis, but Oasis's beer hit the market first.
Vietnam's robust drinking culture—there is no word for "hangover"—is raising concerns about health as citizens grow wealthier. A glass of beer costs just 30 U.S. cents.

The popularity of IPA and other craft beer has forced Iowa lawmakers to revisit the definition of "beer". Beverages with 5 to 8 percent ABV currently exist in a legal twilight zone.

Originally written on BroncoTalk | Last updated 3/13/13
(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) With Elvis Dumervil and the Broncos currently in a contract dispute, we figured the team would lean on Jason Hunter in 2013 if Dumervil left. Uh, about that. Turns out that Hunter, a free agent, has signed with the divisional rival Oakland Raiders. Had he stayed in Denver, Hunter likely would have been a rotational rusher this season. The Broncos have improved the interior of their line by re-signing defensive tackle Kevin Vickerson and signing defensive tackle Terrance Knighton to two-year deals. But if Dumervil does not agree to restructure his contract and is released, defensive end will quickly become a position of need for the team. Obvious candidates to replace Dumervil are Dwight Freeney and Osi Umenyiora, while Shaun Phillips could also come into play. Of course, if Dumervil agrees to restructure his contract before Saturday, when his $12 million 2013 salary becomes guaranteed, Denver won't have to worry about finding a replacement. Now, we wait. Your move, Broncos.

New Strategy to Minimize Dead-Time Distortion in DCI-NPC Power Amplifiers Using COE-Error Injection
The DCI-NPC topology has become one of the best options to optimize energy efficiency in the world of high power and high quality amplifiers. This can use an analog PWM modulator that is sensitive to generate distortion or error, mainly for two reasons: Carriers Amplitude Error (CAE) and Carriers Offset Error (COE). Other main error and distortion sources in the system is the Dead-Time (td). This is necessary to guarantee the proper operation of the power amplifier stage so that errors and distortions originated by it are unavoidable. This work proposes a negative COE generation to minimize the distortion effects of td. Simulation and experimental results validates this strategy.
