Photos: Brewing Eccentric Ale with Jamie Floyd of Ninkasi Brewing Co., Eccentric Day 2012
We were joined by a very special guest in our Kalamazoo brewhouse on Eccentric Day Eve.
Jamie Floyd, owner and founding brewer of Ninkasi Brewing Co. in Eugene, Oregon, stopped by to help brew next year's batch of Eccentric Ale.
Traditionally, our guest brewers bring an ingredient or two to contribute to the recipe and Jamie did not disappoint. He brought honey and a combination of pureed squash, pumpkin and sweet potatoes - ingredients all local to the Eugene area - along with him.
That batch of Eccentric Ale, which will be released in December 2013, was also brewed with ginger, Michigan maple syrup and a variety of spices.
Below are a few more photos from our brew with Jamie.
Photos from this year's Eccentric Day are also now online. Take a look at them on our Flickr page, on the Eccentric Café's Facebook page or on Google+, depending on your preferred social network.
Also, If you haven't already, be sure to take a look at our post about how this year's eccentric menu came together as well.
A huge thank you to Jamie for everything - cheers!

A behind the scenes look: Prepping the menu for Eccentric Day
Wild boar, bison, squid, smoked lamb bacon, emu, quail, antelope, duck … these are just a few of the items you will see offered on Eccentric Day this year.
But how does a menu like this come together?
The planning starts early.
For Melissa Bont, the Eccentric Café's Kitchen Manager, that planning began in early October.
And then there is the prep work.
Deliveries started late last week. And since then, cases of food have been arriving almost daily.
Most of the caviar, smoked salmon and other delicacies won't actually arrive until the day before Eccentric Day though.
But during the week leading up to the event and especially the day before, there is still plenty of chopping, slicing, stirring and tasting to make sure everything possible is ready to go.
The entire kitchen staff, including a few dedicated "retired" kitchen staff members - who have since gone on to other positions at the Café - put in some long and late hours to make everything happen.
There is also a fair amount of improvising as well – adding chorizo to the alligator gumbo for example.
Being incredibly organized is also helpful, Bont said.
On Eccentric Day, that same team will set up, do any last minute cooking and restock two buffet style tables in both the front and back bars of the Café before opening at 9 a.m. until around 10 p.m. (depending on how fast all the food goes).
Even the menu is still being tweaked a bit this week as some items are a little harder to come by than originally planned.
Sorry, no organs (sweet breads) this year.
But bugs have been added (scorpion suckers, crickets and larvae - fried with spices) in addition to emu. And Bell's beer will also be used in a few of the dishes.
The idea of getting a pig uterus was even pitched, but that won't happen this year.
Not to say they didn't try.
There will also be plenty for vegetarian appetites as well including a vegetarian turducken, stuffed jalapenos and smoky tofu bites. Bont said she recognizes the need to have something for all tastes.
"It's a great tradition. We're busy and there is a lot to do, but we make it fun and we get to experiment with different foods. It's nice to be able to offer people things they wouldn't normally get to try," Bont said.
2012 Eccentric food numbers:
20 lbs. of alligator
10 lbs. of shepherd's pie
About 100 squid (stuffed with bison cornbread)
10 lbs. of antelope
2 wild boar legs (10-12 lbs. each)
20 lbs. of shrimp
12 lbs. of elk
12 lbs. of bison
24 duck breasts
12 lbs. of venison to make sausage
About 80 lbs. of cheese in 20 different varieties

Every five years, the United States Geological Survey compiles data detailing the amount of water consumed by agriculture, municipal and industrial uses, mining, private industrial wells and thermoelectric generation.
Prior to 1985, state comparisons are not possible because data were released by basin, explained the latest research report compiled by the Utah Foundation.
The latest U.S. Geological Survey data confirmed that Carbon County residents and Utahns at locations across the state consumed 4.76 billion gallons of water per day in 2000. Irrigation remained the largest water use category statewide.
In addition to the increase in the percentage of water used for irrigation purposes, the consumption of municipal water per capita in Utah climbed during the five-year period between 1995 and 2000, pointed out the foundation researchers.
In 1995, 269 gallons of water per person were consumed daily residents in the state.
In 2000, Utah's per capita water consumption jumped to 293 gallons, representing one of the largest increases reported in the country.
Only four states - Colorado, Hawaii, Texas and Louisiana - reported larger increases in per capita municipal water usage in 2000.
All four of the states were experiencing drought conditions in 2000 and mounting demand by residents for outdoor water may explain the increase in consumption.
Utah's per capita usage fluctuates significantly between drought and non-drought years, noted the foundation researchers.
In 1990, Utah's daily per capita water usage rate registered at 308 gallons. In 2000 during the latest drought cycle, the statewide rate dropped to 293 gallons per day.
Approximately 83 percent of the variance reported from 1985-2000 may be explained by the status of the statewide drought cycle, continued the independent public policy organization's researchers.
A climbing number of Utah's municipal and industrial water is coming from secondary systems, confirmed the foundation researchers. The approach has mixed results and may encourage residents to use more water outdoors than necessary since secondary systems charge less for water than culinary systems. The rate structures for secondary water are usually flat, creating no incentive to conserve.
Water is classified to have one of two sources of origin. Water comes from surface sources like lakes, rivers and streams or from ground sources like springs and wells.
In Utah, 78.6 percent of total water withdrawals are from surface sources. However, for public drinking water supplies, 57.1 percent comes from ground water sources. Ground water tends to be of a higher quality and requires less treatment to reach drinking or culinary quality, explained the foundation researchers. Utah's 57.1 percent ranks the state 10th in the nation for the percentage of public drinking that originates from ground sources.
By comparison, Colorado is one of the lowest ground water users in the nation. In Colorado, 6 percent of the state's publicly supplied drinking water originates from ground sources. Conversely, Idaho and New Mexico receive more than 88 percent of the states' drinking water from ground sources.
In New Mexico, there is little potable surface water to utilize in public systems. In Idaho, the situation appears to be a case of water rights. Most of the surface water in Idaho goes for irrigation and municipalities need to search elsewhere for resources.
An ongoing concern regarding ground water consumption centers around the fact that the supply is not as readily replenished and over-usage of the resource will dry up deep aquifers, noted the foundation researchers. In the Intermountain West and Utah, ground water usage has fluctuated, peaking in 1990.
The shift to a greater reliance on ground water can, in part, be attributed to concerns about surface source quality, pointed out the foundation researchers. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provides analysis of surface water quality for states. Assessments are performed on all types of surface water, including lakes, rivers, reservoirs, bays and estuaries along with near and off-shore oceanic water quality. Bay, estuary and ocean data were not analyzed by foundation researchers since the sources do not typically provide water for municipal systems.
Utah's water quality rates fairly well. Overall, Utah's water ranks eighth for river and seventh for lake/reservoir quality. The majority of the Intermountain states receive high ratings on at least one indicator. Colorado ranks second in the nation for river and lake quality. Montana is the overall lowest performing state, primarily due to surface water pollution from mining activities.
The overall good ratings of the Intermountain West are due in large part to geography and demographics. Many of the nation's rivers have a genesis in the Rocky Mountains and the low population density of the area means water exiting the Intermountain region are relatively clean, concluded the Utah Foundation researchers.

Today is National Pancake Day so we are sharing our favorite 207 Pancake recipe with you.
Arbor Inn B&B: Lemon Buttermilk Ricotta Cheese Pancakes with fresh berries and sweet lemon sauce
1 ½ cups unbleached all purpose flour
2 T. granular sugar
1 teas. baking powder
½ teas. baking soda
½ teas salt
2 large eggs separated
2 T. vegetable oil
1 ¼ cups buttermilk
½ cup ricotta cheese
¼ cup orange juice
1 teas. lemon extract
1 T. lemon zest
2 cups of assorted fresh berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, cut strawberries) use any or just one type of berry.
Mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt and set aside. In a separate bowl combine the egg yolks, oil, buttermilk, ricotta cheese, orange juice and lemon extract. Whisk together until smooth. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the liquid mixture. Mix together until flour is just incorporated. Sprinkle top of batter with lemon zest. In a small stainless steel bowl, beat egg whites just until stiff. Fold the egg whites into the batter just until incorporated. Let set for 10 to 15 minutes. While batter is setting up, make your lemon sauce.
Sweetened Lemon Sauce:
1 cup granular sugar
½ cup salted sweet cream butter
¼ cup water
1 large egg yolk
3 T. fresh lemon juice
Combine all ingredients in a medium sized stainless steel sauce pan stirring constantly until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved on medium heat. Bring sauce to a boil uncovered and lower the temperature for one to two minutes. Remove from heat and let set, keeping warm until ready to serve.
Butter large skillet and warm on medium to low flame or low heat. When butter begins to bubble, carefully drop batter on hot skillet approximately ¼ to ½ cup per pancake. Let the pancakes rise on the pan slightly then place assorted berries on top of each pancake pressing slightly into the batter. Once bottoms begin to brown, turn pancakes over to finish cooking just until lightly browned. Place finished pancakes on a large platter and top each with sweet cream butter, powdered sugar and pour warmed lemon sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh strawberries or berries of choice or lemon wedges. Makes approximately 15 pancakes.

State of Antarctica: red or blue?
2) Our results do not necessarily contradict the generally-accepted interpretation of recent East Antarctic cooling put forth by David Thompson (Colorado State) and Susan Solomon (NOAA Aeronomy Lab). In an important paper in Science, they presented evidence that this cooling trend is linked to an increasing trend in the strength of the circumpolar westerlies, and that this can be traced to changes in the stratosphere, mostly due to photochemical ozone losses. Substantial ozone losses did not occur until the late 1970s, and it is only after this period that significant cooling begins in East Antarctica.
3) Our paper — by itself — does not address whether Antarctica's recent warming is part of a longer term trend. There is separate evidence from ice cores that Antarctica has been warming for most of the 20th century, but this is complicated by the strong influence of El Niño events in West Antarctica. In our own published work to date (Schneider and Steig, PNAS), we find that the 1940s [edit for clarity: the 1935-1945 decade] were the warmest decade of the 20th century in West Antarctica, due to an exceptionally large warming of the tropical Pacific at that time.
So what do our results show? Essentially, that the big picture of Antarctic climate change in the latter part of the 20th century has been largely overlooked. It is well known that it has been warming on the Antarctic Peninsula, probably for the last 100 years (measurements begin at the sub-Antarctic Island of Orcadas in 1901 and show a nearly monotonic warming trend). And yes, East Antarctica cooled over the 1980s and 1990s (though not, in our results, at a statistically significant rate). But West Antarctica, which no one really has paid much attention to (as far as temperature changes are concerned), has been warming rapidly for at least the last 50 years.
Why West Antarctica is warming is just beginning to be explored, but in our paper we argue that it basically has to do enhanced meridional flow — there is more warm air reaching West Antarctica from farther north (that is, from warmer, lower latitudes). In the parlance of statistical climatology, the "zonal wave 3 pattern" has increased (see Raphael, GRL 2004). Something that goes along with this change in atmospheric circulation is reduced sea ice in the region (while sea ice in Antarctica has been increasing on average, there have been significant declines off the West Antarctic coast for the last 25 years, and probably longer). And in fact this is self reinforcing (less sea ice, warmer water, rising air, lower pressure, enhanced storminess).
The obvious question, of course, is whether those changes in circulation are themselves simply "natural variability" or whether they are forced — that is, resulting from changes in greenhouse gases. There will no doubt be a flurry of papers that follow ours, to address that very question. A recent paper in Nature Geosciences by Gillet et al. examined trends in temperatures in the both Antarctic and the Arctic, and concluded that "temperature changes in both … regions can be attributed to human activity." Unfortunately our results weren't available in time to be made use of in that paper. But we suspect it will be straightforward to do an update of that work that does incorporate our results, and we look forward to seeing that happen.

Each agreement entered into under this section shall—
(2) provide for deposit in the fund, except as provided in section 298d of this title, of
(A) the Federal capital contributions paid from allotments under section 297d of this title to the school by the Secretary,
(B) an additional amount from other sources equal to not less than one-ninth of such Federal capital contributions,

Recap: Season 1 episode 2. "The Same Old Story." After last week's pilot, comparisons to The X-Files were being thrown from every direction and this episode certainly isn't going to do anything to fix that. Story:
He's known as one of the most unstable asshole directors out there, but today two of his actors from the set of Nailed are standing up for him. Here's a little history of the conflict and some background on the 'mercurial' David O' himself.
Screenjunkies' ongoing series of Craziest Moments brings a man so brilliantly suited for the spotlight that the list practically compiles itself. You have to ask: Is Kelsey a thespian? Is he a motivational speaker? Is he a choral god with Pan's Pipes just freaking genetically sewn into his throat muscles? The answer, dear friends, is a resounding YES. We hope you enjoy.
I have a hard enough time getting anything done thanks to the enormous amount of entertainment that's constantly available. Now, thanks to every TV show ever coming to DVD, it's getting even harder to squeeze work between episodes. But, there isn't a ton of great stuff out this week, so don't go canceling those plans just yet. Here's the best of the pack.
I think a lot of dudes don't like Ben Affleck because he's so successful. He won an Oscar for co-writing Good Will Hunting, has starred in some blockbusters (and some flops), and did a good job with his directorial debut in Gone Baby Gone. Now he's back at making us feel unsuccessful by writing and directing a new Warner Brothers flick.
You would think four seasons of a wildly popular reality show and even a Behind the Music would be enough time to get Ozzy's story out there, but Jack and Sharon are reportedly teaming up to release a movie about the Oz Man's life in honor of his 60th birthday. As a fan, I think the movie could be good, but as a guy who hates hearing people's Ozzy impressions, I'm a little tentative.
Recap: Season 4 Episode 13, "If You Work for a Living, Why Do You Kill Yourself Working?" Nancy screwed up big time and leaves us all a little worried for her safety. She ratted out the Mexican crime boss she loves and got the gay partner of a DEA agent killed. Plus, she forgot to get Silas a birthday gift. But hey, at least she showed her boobs some more.
We think we may have found a revolutionary new way to make any movie poster just that much more eye-catching. Come see for yourself.
It's really hard to make a movie where a child star is defiled. So hard it took filmmaker Deborah Kampmeier many years to finally get a release for her Southern Gothic tale Hounddog. Amid boos at press screenings and horrible reviews, the movie hits a few theatres Sept. 19. Here's a little more info about the controversy surrounding the project.
Tonight is the season four finale of Weeds and I am extremely excited. This has been the best season in a while and reports are that Mary Louise Parker gets more naked than ever tonight. 10 PM can't come soon enough.
There's a lot of speculation going around today about this photo of Eva Longoria leaving the Marvel offices with a business card and a bunch of comics. It all seems a little too convenient for me, but many people are saying that she might end up playing The Wasp in the upcoming Avengers flick.
A lot of movies have tried to blend extreme sports with traditional Hollywood shoot-em-ups. But few have been successful. To be fair, the original XXX was a totally absurd movie. But it was also pretty awesome to watch for one reason: Vin Diesel is a badass. And it looks like he's back as Xander Cage once again.
I really believe that the Coen brothers have to make movies to stay alive. They hatched a deal with the devil sometime around 1979. They have created some of the best film characters of all time whose quirky qualities gain traction with viewers and endear audiences. They can also do exactly the opposite.
It's Louisiana, so everybody has to have a problem. If you're black you're also gay. If you work in a Walmart you have a rapier wit and are too smart for your surroundings. If you're captain of the football team, you're also a sex addict with a penchant for rough rolls in the swamp. If you're a trailer park blonde, you're also telepathic.
You've all laughed hysterically at the Peanuts vs. Goodfellas mash-up, but according to an interview with executive producer, Al Jean, this year's Simpsons Halloween show will poke fun at The Great Pumpkin as well as the Transformers.
Marriage is like much like the Cold War. I know, I'm married, and I bought a genuine piece of the former Berlin Wall, fashioned into a key chain, at a gas station in Calais when I was on a French exchange program in high school.
Recap: Season 5, Episode 2. The Entourage world has been turned upside-down. Drama is still famous and Vince is actually working hard for the first time in his career, only to find out that no one is interested in his services.
When you're looking for two guys to star in a crooked cop movie, you couldn't really ask for a better pair than Pacino and De Niro. I mean, maybe if you were to land Jesus and Rowdy Roddy Piper it would be close. Does all that star power add up to the best movie ever? No. But, Righteous Kill definitely doesn't suck. Rating: B-
Well guys, it looks like we're about to lose my home state to a storm that MSNBC's sexy Contessa Brewer is calling "Unprecedented." In a way I'm happy that a hard rain will finally come and wash all the filth off of Houston. But it's also going to be sad to see the country of my youth given over to the Gods of the Sea.
It's a good weekend for entertainment. Most notably, the Weather Channel's ongoing coverage of Ike as it holds Texas' face under water while laughing. Here's our weekly list of what to check out.
Spike Jones is one of my heroes. He's become a cultural icon by doing exactly the unique projects that he wants to do. I can watch any of the music videos he did with Michel Gondry over and over. And like Gondry he looks at things through the eyes of a child. This is why Where The Wild Things Are should be a great film.
I try so hard not to fall into the Transformers 2 hype, but every time one of these little bits of info slip out, I go spiraling back to my childhood, which I spent sitting on a rug turning robots into cars and then back into robots.
By now, you have probably heard that a new Ghost Busters flick is actually in the works. The project is still in its early stages, but we have a few suggestions when it comes to picking a bad guy. Here's a glimpse at our short list. Ghost Dad
I remember in English class how they use to tell us that we had to get through at least a few chapters of a book before we were allowed to decide that it was not worth reading. I made it exactly 4 minutes into Fox's Do Not Disturb before hurling my TV at a Hurricane Orphan.
I don't want to give away any spoilers for 28 Weeks Later since it hasn't been on DVD for all that long, but the ending certainly seemed like a fine way to cap the series. According to some comments made by Danny Boyle, though, the rage virus might continue raging for another movie.
Recap: Season 2, Episode 1 The boys from SAMCRO explore the possible downside to getting a BJ from two mexican hookers who accidentally get cooked by an exploding gun warehouse.
Sometimes we forego being a respectable movie and TV site in favor of much more entertaining pursuits such as photoshopping boobs on movie posters. That means that sometimes the industry news falls through the cracks. Here are some of the stories from this week.
Season 7, Episode 4: "Phonebook Friction" With seven seasons under their tool belts, the Mythbusters don't have it as easy as they used to. This week Jamie and Adam test to see if two phone books, attached by simply intertwining the pages, can be impossible to pull apart. The other team try to re-enact the final scene from Deep Blue Sea.
The jury is still out on whether or not Rumer Willis is actually hot (there are some more photos after the break to help you decide), but there is no question she will star in a remake of the 1983 horror flick, The House on Sorority Row. Honestly, it probably won't be very good, but at least it will be rated R.
It's Wednesday, and you know what that means. We're only two days away from the release of the new Meg Ryan chick flick, The Women! I would rather star in a remake of 2 girls, 1 cup than watch that. Even if I was playing the cup. Here are some links to help get that image out of your head. Not the 2 girls, 1 cup images, I know you're fine with those, but the Meg Ryan images. Yikes.

A recent Welsh video that addresses the dangers of texting while driving has become an internet phenomenon with over 7 million views to date. The video, which will be shown in schools in this fall, features a teenager texting while driving, resulting in a graphic car crash that kills her passengers.
The creators of the ad argue that in order to capture the attention of teenagers, it is necessary for the video to be shocking and violent. However, some critics are skeptical about whether the ad will actually reduce the behavior, especially in the long-term. Health and social psychological research has looked extensively at the efficacy of fear arousing messages when it comes to changing behaviors.
In a recent article, Cameron and Chan (2008) discuss what persuasive elements may help in promoting health behaviors. It is commonly assumed that messages that evoke fear will prompt action; however, many studies have shown that highly evocative messages may actually lead to avoidance and fail to change behavior. In the health communication field, they find that fear arousing messages can be effective but only when coupled with other factors. For instance, when joined with an implementation plan, these messages have a better chance of changing behavior. Moreover, imagery may be effective in persuasive messages but only to the extent that it can directly relate the threat to the recommended plan of action.
While the commercial may be successful in garnering attention, ongoing research brings into question how effective it will be in terms of permanently changing behavior.

2011 marks 10 years since the mixed-race category was added to the U.K.'s annual censes. To commemorate this event, BBC Two has been running a series of programmes documenting the mixed-race experience both in Britain and around the world.
One of familys profiled in the series are the Kellys. While the Kellys are mixed race (the father, Errol, is black and the mother, Alyson, is white), what makes them truly extraordinary is that in 1993, Alyson gave birth to twin boys — one black and one white.
How is this possible? According to population geneticist Dr. Jim Wilson, Errol's Jamaican heritage holds the answer. In the days of slavery, white men raping black women were common practice and, as a result, most blacks from outside of Africa have a mix of African and European DNA. In the case of the Kellys, Errol passed his African DNA to his son James (resulting in James' black skin) but passed his European DNA to his son Daniel (resulting in Daniel's white skin).
Not surprisingly, being twins with different skin colours was difficult for James and Daniel growing up. What is surprising, however, is that it was Daniel – the white twin – that endured the bulk of the racist abuse from students at the all-white school the twins attended. His mum explains that situation like this: "Those kids couldn't stand the fact that, as they saw it, this white kid was actually black. It was as though they wanted to punish him for daring to call himself white."
According to research by Yzerbyt, Leyens, and Bellour (1995), we are quick to reject ingroup members that are not in line with what is required for group membership. Because the identity of the group is put at stake by misidentifying an ingroup member, we tend to be especially careful when allowing new members in. If misidentification does occur, there is a "Black Sheep Effect" in which the "bad" ingroup member is chastised more than a similarly "bad'" outgroup member. In other words, if an ingroup member and an outgroup member both exhibit an undesirable behaviour, we are likely to be much harder on the ingroup member.
Akin to this theory, the white students at the twins' school punished Daniel because they had identified him as white (and hence an ingroup member) when he was, in actuality, half black. Such behaviour from these white students illustrates just how important race is in how we identify both others and ourselves. While the U.K and the rest of the world have come quite far in how we perceive mixed race people, it is clear that we still have a long way to go.

Stack overflow conditions are indicative of errors in the device driver. Device drivers are allocated 4 kilobytes (KB), or one page, of space to be used as a stack. If the device driver uses more than 4 KB of memory, a stack overflow condition occurs.
Windows sets aside a number of extra memory pages, or spare stack pages, to be used temporarily so that your computer does not stop responding (hang) due to a stack overflow condition. When the stack overflow condition has passed, Windows reclaims the temporary page. The default number of spare stack pages is two.
If Windows detects that it has run out of spare stack pages, you receive the error message that is mentioned in the "Symptoms" section of this article. Windows continues to operate correctly unless a device driver encounters a stack overflow condition when there are no free spare stack pages.
To resolve this behavior, add the following line to the [386Enh] section of the System.ini file, and then restart your computer:

Scott Warren Miller
I wish it weren't true, but as much as it pains me to write these words, Scott passed away on April 15, 2013. He was a wonderful, loyal friend as well as a brilliant musician, and I will miss him for the rest of my life.
Scott had been planning to start recording a new Game Theory album, Supercalifragile, this summer, and was looking forward to getting back into the studio and reuniting with some of his former collaborators.
If listening to Scott's own music is too painful for you right now, as it is for me, I can tell you that he absolutely loved David Bowie's new album, The Next Day. He found Bowie's late-career resurgence to be hugely inspirational. I'm sure that if there had been a 2013 chapter of Music: What Happened?, one of the songs from that album would have been right at the top.

Now Available: The Third Edition!
Featuring the brand new 2011 chapter!
If you already purchased the first edition, click here to download a PDF version of the 2010 chapter, and click here to download a PDF version of the 2011 chapter. Order the book from 125 Records.
Scott Miller has released more than a dozen albums with his bands Game Theory and the Loud Family, and his music has been described as "a cross between Alex Chilton, James Joyce, and the Electric Prunes" (Stereo Review) and "smart, funny, and instantly memorable" (Rolling Stone). In Music: What Happened?, Miller writes about each of the past 55 years in popular music—1957-2011—via countdown song lists, blending the perspectives of a serious musician, a thoughtful critic, and an all-devouring music fan. Miller not only tells you why he loves particular songs, but also what was going on in the musical world in which they competed to be heard.
The book is based on the series created for this web site, but Scott re-examined and rewrote much of the text; in addition, it's all been edited and fact-checked (though we still anticipate the odd error might sneak through, and if you find one, you're welcome to send in a correction—we'll fix it in the next printing). The book also contains bonus chapters (2007-2011) that did not appear online, as well as a foreword and an interview with Scott by his longtime friend and fan Bob Lloyd.
Order the book from 125 Records, or download the Kindle edition or the Barnes & Noble Nook Book now. It is also available from Google Books.
Don't miss this interview with Scott by Matthew Perpetua at Fluxblog.org, and this one from Middlemojo.com. And here's one from Rocker.
Acclaim for Music: What Happened?
Four stars from Rolling Stone Magazine! "Scott Miller was the cerebral indie-pop auteur behind the band Game Theory, whose classic 1987 album Lolita Nation is a head-spinning classic. But he puts a lifetime of musical smarts into this book. The premise is simple: Miller breaks down songs from every year since 1957, more than 1,000 in all. But his insights are dazzling. It's rare to see anybody say something new about Dark Side of the Moon, which he blames for crummy-sounding records that followed: 'The managed jazz influence... and sequencer bloops had nations erroneously reasoning, "Who needs big, fat-sounding anything?"' When he digs into details that make a song work, he'll make you want to hear 'Hey, Jude' right now—and make you feel like you're hearing it for the first time."
—Rob Sheffield in the April 14, 2011, issue of Rolling Stone
"Miller's writing demonstrates a level of skill, intelligence, sensitivity, and wit that I'm nearly jealous of, he pulls it off so well... Music: What Happened? is an inspiration to dig that much deeper into my own collection with relish and to seek out some new favorites with a fresh perspective."
—Jon Kanis, Ugly Things Magazine
"Not only does Miller totally acquit himself as a rock critic, he's produced one of the most interesting compendiums of music journalism since Robert Christgau's Rock Music of the '70s... Miller has a great writing style—very alive, specific and entertaining."
—Jordan Oakes, Stlmag.com
"You're thinking: it's not every day that someone writes about music on the internet, especially to pick favorite pop music; we can all thank Scott for finally troweling that wide cultural gap. But really—this is a new and lively style of music writing that you just keep wanting to read more of."
—Aimee Mann
"In capsule reviews of half-forgotten pop records, Scott Miller manages actual humor (a first in music criticism) and major insights that may change the way you think about, for example, 1967. Almost a new art form."
—Stephin Merritt
"The way he describes the songs he loves—some very indie, some anything but—is tremendously suggestive. If only he or some acolyte could spin a
worldview around those observations we might really have something to
go on."
—Robert Christgau, Dean of American Rock Critics
"Scott Miller's the wizard behind some of pop's most beguiling melodies (and he's no slouch in the lyrics department, either). Who better to be your guide on a curated tour of the rock era's top recordings, a genre-hopping jaunt through the big hits and lost gems, each placed in its own contextual niche by the thoughtful, funny, enthused Miller. Skim it to see what he says about your fave raves, or delve deeper to discover the unknown sonic pleasures that await you. A must for the dedicated music fiend."
—Kim Cooper, Scram Magazine editrix and author of Neutral Milk Hotel's 'In The Aeroplane Over The Sea' (33 1/3 Series)
"Whether they admit it or not, all great songwriters tend to keep an eye on the competition. So it should come as little surprise—especially to anyone familiar with the often-intertextual brilliance of the music he's made with Game Theory and The Loud Family—that Scott Miller's book about other people's songs overflows with the same insight and linguistic firepower that animates his own compositions. Music: What Happened? is his custom-built canon—more than a thousand songs; 20 favorites for each year from 1957 to 2009—and it distills a lifetime of obsessing about music into an endlessly quotable and re-readable listener's guide. There are bite-sized epiphanies on every page—about lyrics, about sound, about how music finds its way into our lives, about what we do after it arrives. It's an exhilarating read, highly recommended to music geeks (and wannabe music geeks) of all ages."
—Andy Zax, music producer and former "Beat the Geeks" co-star

When: Tuesday, October 18, 10:00 p.m. ET
Opponent: @Vancouver (2-2-1)
On Tuesday night the Rangers will begin the final leg of
their absurd fall road trip that took them across the Atlantic Ocean and back
again and now across North America to Western Canada.
The Blueshirts, one of only two win-less teams in the
National Hockey League, will attempt to get off the schneid when they take on
the 2011 Stanley Cup runner-up Vancouver Canucks.
It'll be a tall task, but Vancouver hasn't gotten off to a
great start either. The Canucks are just
2-2-1, but Vancouver will receive a boost as alternate captain Ryan Kesler is expected
to make his season debut after undergoing hip surgery in late July.
The Canucks' three losses have come against the likes of
Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and Detroit while Vancouver has beaten Columbus and
Edmonton, but this team is not yet playing on the same level it did last
Still, New York's shorthanded blueline will be tested - this
time by the sensational Sedin twins who have won the last two Art Ross Trophies.
Stalwart Dan Girardi and sophomore Ryan McDonagh will be
tasked with slowing down the Sedins and goalie Henrik Lundqvist will also have
to be on the top of his game, but for New York to pick up its first victory the
team will need to begin producing offensively.
Lundqvist, Girardi, McDonagh and the rest of the patchwork
defense has been terrific in the early going, but it's been the offense that
has held the Rangers back.
New York ranks dead last in the NHL with an average of just
1.67 goals per game and if the Blueshirts have any hope of landing in the win
column they'll need production up front.
The top line of Derek Stepan/Brad Richards/Marian Gaborik looked solid on Saturday and Richards and Gaborik are both off to solid starts,
but the Rangers have received very little in the way of secondary scoring. Brandon Prust and Ryan Callahan have the team's
only other goals, so the other three lines will have to contribute more for New
York to keep up with the high-flying Canucks.
The good news is that Vancouver has struggled to keep the
puck out of its net.
Roberto Luongo has given up 11 goals on just 85 shots to
start the season and the Canucks rank 22nd in
goals against.
Vancouver has also given up two power play goals in three of
its first five games, so if there's a time for the Rangers' revamped man
advantage to take advantage, this is it.
The Canucks are without a doubt the toughest team New York
has faced yet, but the Blueshirts turned in arguably their best effort of the
season a year ago on January 13th when they beat the Canucks 1-0.
- Here's New York's projected lineup:
Derek Stepan/Brad Richards/Marian Gaborik
Brandon Dubinsky/Artem Anisimov/Ryan Callahan
Ruslan Fedotenko/Brian Boyle/Brandon Prust
Mike Rupp/Erik Christensen/Kris Newbury
- Dale Weise - who was claimed off waivers by Vancouver after
being waived by the Rangers on October 4th - will likely be in the Canucks'
- Mike Sauer will not
play against the Canucks. Wojtek
Wolski is also likely out
of the lineup. Both players did
practice on Monday.

A rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the lower portion of your large intestine — your rectum — and your vagina. Contents of your bowel can leak through the fistula, meaning you might pass gas or stool through your vagina.
A rectovaginal fistula may result from an injury during childbirth, Crohn's disease or other inflammatory bowel disease, radiation treatment or cancer in the pelvic area, or a complication following surgery in the pelvic area.
The symptoms of a rectovaginal fistula often cause emotional distress as well as physical discomfort, which can impact self-esteem and intimate relationships. Though bringing up the subject with your doctor may be difficult, it's important to have a rectovaginal fistula evaluated. Some rectovaginal fistulas may close on their own, but most need to be repaired surgically.
Depending on the size and location of the fistula, you may have minor symptoms or significant problems with continence and hygiene. Signs and symptoms of a rectovaginal fistula may include:
If you experience any signs or symptoms of rectovaginal fistula, make an appointment to see your doctor. A fistula may be the first indication of a more serious problem, such as an area of infection where pus has collected (abscess) or cancer. It's important that your doctor identify the cause of the fistula and determine whether and when it should be repaired. Depending on the cause, your doctor may refer you to a colorectal or gynecologic surgeon.
A rectovaginal fistula may form as a result of:
Physical complications of rectovaginal fistula may include:
Among women with Crohn's disease who develop a fistula, the chance of another fistula forming later is high.
You're likely to start by seeing your primary care provider. However, in some cases when you call to set up an appointment you may be referred immediately to a doctor who specializes in conditions affecting the female reproductive tract (gynecologist).
To prepare for your appointment:
For rectovaginal fistula, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment anytime you don't understand something.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to focus on. Your doctor may ask:
You can expect a physical exam and certain tests, explained below, depending on your needs.
Your doctor will perform a physical exam to try to locate the rectovaginal fistula and check for a possible tumor mass, infection or abscess. The doctor's exam includes inspecting your vagina, anus and the area between them (perineum) with a gloved hand.
Unless the fistula is very low in the vagina and readily visible, your doctor may use a speculum to see the inside of your vagina. An instrument similar to a speculum, called a proctoscope, may be inserted into your anus and rectum to check for problems. Your doctor may take a sample of tissue for lab analysis (biopsy) during the procedure.
Often a fistula isn't found during the physical exam. Your doctor may recommend other tests, such as those below, to locate and evaluate a rectovaginal fistula. These tests can also help your medical team in planning for surgery.
Symptoms of a rectovaginal fistula can be very distressing, but treatment generally offers good results. Treatment for the fistula depends on its cause, size, location and effect on surrounding tissues.
Depending on your circumstances, your doctor may recommend medications.
Sometimes fistulas heal on their own, but most people need surgery to close or repair the abnormal connection. Before an operation can be done, the skin and other tissue around the fistula must be healthy, with no signs of infection or inflammation. Your doctor may advise a waiting period of three to six months before surgery to ensure the surrounding tissue is healthy and see if the fistula closes on its own.
Surgery to close a fistula may be done by a gynecologic or colorectal surgeon. The goal is to remove the fistula tract and close the opening by sewing together healthy tissue. Surgical options include:
Good hygiene can help ease discomfort and reduce the chance of vaginal or urinary tract infections while waiting for repair.
For best results, be sure to follow any other recommendations from your health care team.

Lupus can be difficult to diagnose because it can affect almost any organ in the body and its symptoms — including joint pain, fatigue, muscle pain, rash, mouth ulcers, and hair loss — vary widely from patient to patient. That is one of the greatest challenges of treating the disease for both doctors and their patients.
Lupus is a rheumatic (having to do with the muscles, joints, and connective tissue) condition that affects 1.5 million people in the United States, including an estimated 10,000 children. Nearly 90% of those diagnosed with lupus are female.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system mistakenly works against the body's own tissues. A healthy immune system produces proteins called antibodies that normally protect the body against bacteria and viruses that cause infections.
But when someone has lupus, the immune system can't tell the difference between the body's healthy cells and bacteria and viruses, so the antibodies attack the body's healthy cells.
Although the cause of lupus is unknown, researchers think that many factors may trigger the disease.
Genetics might play a role. Some people may have a genetic predisposition to lupus that is then activated by an infection, certain medications, or extreme physical or emotional stress. The hormone estrogen also may play a role and could help explain why it's more common in females than males.
Lupus also occurs more frequently in African Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and Native Americans than in caucasians.
The three main types of lupus are:
The two rashes commonly associated with lupus are:
Other common symptoms:
Someone with four or more of these signs or symptoms is likely to have SLE. Most patients don't develop all of them. Before making a diagnosis, doctors perform a physical exam and take blood tests to rule out any other diseases.
In addition to those symptoms, patients with lupus often have fever, weakness, fatigue, or weight loss. They may experience muscle aches, loss of appetite, swollen glands, hair loss, or abdominal pain, which can be accompanied by nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting.
Sometimes the fingers, toes, nose, or ears will be particularly sensitive to cold and will turn blue and white in cold temperatures, a condition known as Raynaud's phenomenon.
There is no known cure for lupus, but the symptoms of the disease can be controlled. Often a patient with lupus has a health care team that includes specialists who can help treat the symptoms. That team may include:
Part of managing lupus is preventing flares — times when the disease gets worse. During a flare-up, a person with lupus may feel much more tired, sick, feverish, and achy than usual. Almost all lupus patients take medication to control inflammation and reduce the risk of flares.
Doctors frequently prescribe corticosteroids to control inflammation. These aren't the same steroids some athletes take. If a doctor prescribes one of these medications, the dosage and any side effects will be carefully monitored.
For day-to-day muscle and joint pain, patients can take acetaminophen or any of a variety of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen.
Others take antimalarial drugs (medicines first developed to prevent and treat malaria that also have proved helpful with lupus). Antimalarial drugs often help treat skin rashes and joint pain, and help prevent coronary artery disease and the involvement of other organ systems in lupus.
Some children who also have kidney disease may require more aggressive treatment with immunosuppressive drugs, which lower the body's immune system responses.
In 2011, belimumab was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of lupus, especially for arthritis, rashes, and fatigue.
Though the course that lupus takes cannot be predicted, certain lifestyle changes may help minimize flare-ups. Some doctors advise patients to avoid too much sun exposure by wearing sunscreen and protective clothing when outside.
Regular exercise can help prevent fatigue and joint stiffness. A balanced diet and sufficient rest also are important for maintaining general health and well-being.
Kids and teens with lupus are prone to the usual childhood illnesses, such as a viral infection or diarrhea. However, a fever, rash, or mouth sore might indicate the beginning of a flare. As you and your child become more familiar with the disease, you may learn to recognize signs that a flare-up is around the corner.
Call the doctor immediately if any of these symptoms appear:
The outlook for lupus patients is constantly improving. Over the past few decades, better tools to diagnose and treat lupus have remarkably improved the lives of those who live with the disease.

Ringling College Becomes First to License CryENGINE 2®
Ringling College recently became the first higher education institution in the world to acquire a license to use Crytek's award-winning CryENGINE 2® middleware for educational purposes. This addition to the learning environment for Game Art & Design majors is tremendous, says Department Head Jim McCampbell: "No other game engine comes close to offering the visual fidelity of the CryENGINE 2®, which can produce the kind of high-quality near-photorealistic output in real time that until now required expensive render farms days, or even weeks, to generate." Remarking on the agreement, College President Dr. Larry Thompson said, "We view this as a validation of the exceptional and innovative academic program we have created here and feel privileged to have Crytek as one of our newest business partners. Our student body consists of amazingly gifted young artists, animators and designers, and our job is to prepare them to take their place in a future where computer games, 3D graphics and computer animations may well become the overwhelmingly dominant commercial and creative art form. They deserve to work with the very best visual tools currently available."

Carmelo or Kobe?
Ryan Feldman over at ESPN.com breaks down the numbers to see who's having the better season, Carmelo Anthony or Kobe Bryant. With both guys having pretty fantastic seasons, there's not much room between them, though he notes that it's Anthony who's come up bigger in crunch time:
When the game's really on the line, it's the same story. Carmelo has shot a better percentage on game-tying and go-ahead shots in the final 24 seconds of the game in each of the previous two seasons. Last year, Carmelo shot 4-of-8 on those shots, while Kobe shot 3-of-15.T
That minuscule body of work is probably not be the best way to distinguish the two players, but if you're looking for a distinct edge, your eyes might wander to the standings, where Carmelo's Knicks are sitting comfortably on top.
You certainly can't go wrong with either one, but New York will gladly take the guy just hitting his prime over the one fighting the good fight against father time.

How to Make Money
Ideas to increase your income from Prosperous Minds
"He who gets wisdom loves his own soul; he who cherishes understanding prospers." Proverbs 19:8

Maine has the safest hospitals in the country, according to a study released today. It's the second year in a row that the state received an overall 'A' score from a group that keeps tabs on hospital safety. But as Patty Wight reports, those in charge of the research say even top-ranking hospitals have more work to do to improve quality and ensure patient safety.
The national non-profit Leapfrog Group tracks hospital safety by examining two sets of criteria: One, says Leapfrog President and CEO Leah Binder, is hospital structure and management - things like staffing levels and computer systems. The other is how often so-called 'never' events happen - essentially, things you would never want to happen in a hospital.
"And I'll give you an example of a never event: a foreign object left in the body after surgery, a sponge left in," Binder says. "Most of us don't like to think that could ever happen. Unfortunately, that is more common than any of us would like to hear about, frankly."
Binder says Mainers should take pride that the state's hospitals are ranked the safest in the nation. Jeff Austin of the Maine Hospital Association says one reason Maine hospitals fare so well is that they set high safety standards, and frequently meet to share best practices.
"Even though, technically, they're competitive on very many things, when it comes to quality they work together," Austin says.
Still, Binder says, even for top-scoring hospitals, there is ample room for improvement. "As many as 400,000 people die every year from preventable errors and accidents in hospitals," she says, "which means that, basically, the equivalent of the population of Miami is dying every year from these errors."
Binder says the most common source of errors is medication. She says if patients don't have a friend or loved one who can act as an advocate, they need to act as their own. Even something as basic as asking what medication you're being given is important.
"And don't be afraid to ask every single time," she says. "If you're getting a medication every four hours, every four hours you ask, 'What is this medication? What is it for?' And make sure you understand the answer, and you agree with it."
Binder says the most important step hospitals can take to increase safety is to strive to improve every day, and never let their guard down. Nancy Morris of the Maine Health Management Coalition says payment reform would also help.
"You know, if a hosptial that performs poorly, it doesn't really impact their bottom line - they still get paid," Morris says. "And in other coutnries they pay the hospitals based on their performance, so if they don't do a good job, they eventually can't survive."
Morris says that would help address safety, as well as the overall quality of hospital care. She says some provisions of the Affordable Care Act address those concerns, but don't go far enough.
