When going to watch your favorite baseball team in an opposing team's stadium, there are a couple things to keep in mind as an away fan. If you're wearing your team's jersey, expect to be heckled. Your reaction to the heckling determines whether you'll have a fun time or end up with a beer spilled on you or worse. It's generally a good idea to keep the massive drinking down to a minimum as well - if the home team's fans are famously hostile, you've gotta keep your head on a swivel, just in case. Stay aware of these things and you'll have a great time in any city, even if your team's the enemy.
These helpful guidelines unfortunately come a day late for one Texas Rangers fan who attended last night's A's-Rangers game in Oakland. Being drunkenly belligerent to the home team's fans is asking trouble in and of itself - taunting Oakland fans is always a dicey proposition. But taunting the police who show up to escort you from the premises? Yep, that's a Tasing.
(Video after the jump.)
This video has made the rounds pretty thoroughly today, but we couldn't not share it with you. It's not too often you get to see fan video this clear and steady, so here we go. Thanks to SPORTSCENTR for bringing this to light:
(Original video was taken down, but we were prepared with a backup copy. Enjoy!)
OK, let's recap the highlights:
- Man thumbing nose at cops like a naughty child (BAD IDEA, by the way)
- Man vs. Taser (TASER WINS AGAIN!)
- Man falling down stairs
- Hey look, foul ball!
Unnecessary force? Probably. But that's not an issue for us - go check the comments of your local newspaper to gripe about the police. As far as we're concerned, there's nothing like a little bit of sports schadenfreude to wind down the day. Sit back, grab a beer, and thank your lucky stars that wasn't you. L'chaim!

An explosion of colour, music, revelry, and creativity, Trinidad's Carnival has spawned similar celebrations around the world, but nothing on earth can rival the abandon, euphoria and stunning spectacle of our festival.
With its massive masquerade bands, spectacular costumes, pulsating music and unparalleled stamina for partying, Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival is often described as the greatest show on earth. It is a time for release and everyone is invited to join the party.
In 2010, the annual Carnival season will climax on Monday, February 15 and Tuesday, February 16.
Each year at 4 am on Carnival Monday, the festivities begin under a cloak of darkness. Fuelled by exhilaration and the energetic rhythms of soca music, revellers take to the streets for the predawn party of J'Ouvert.
J'Ouvert (from the French 'jour ouvert' or 'day open') is almost ritualistic in its celebration of the darker elements of the island's folklore and history. Bathed in chocolate, mud, oil and paint, bands of revellers depict devils, demons, monsters and imps. Choose your medium of expression, J'Ouvert is a time for loosening of inhibitions.
At daybreak, the J'Ouvert revelry clears and massive costumed bands of "Pretty Mas" players flood the street with riotous colour. A cast of thousands take to the street "jumping up" and "wining" (gyrating of the hips) to the sound of soca music blaring from speakers stationed on music trucks. The excitement is at fever pitch, but Carnival Monday is only a "warm-up" for Carnival Tuesday.
Carnival Tuesday begins promptly at 8 a.m. Thousands of masqueraders are in full costume, ready and impatiently awaiting their chance to strut in front of the television cameras as bands cross the main judging points. Each band has its own historical, mythological or tropical concept with various sections depicting aspects of the main theme.
Bands are judged in three categories: small, medium and large and winners are announced after all the bands have crossed the stage. The Champion Band is crowned Masquerade Band of the Year.
Officially Carnival is the Monday and Tuesday preceding Ash Wednesday but celebrations begin right after Christmas.
From Boxing Day it is non-stop partying until Carnival Sunday.
It is during this post-Christmas period that calypso tents open their doors to the public and cultural shows, including Limbo competitions and massive soca concerts, begin.
Radio stations begin to play the latest soca hits and many masquerade bands launch their new presentations.
Steelbands begin intense preparations for Panorama, the annual competition for steel pan bands. Preliminary contests are hosted at panyards throughout the country during the six weeks leading up to Carnival. Panorama finals are the ultimate test of musical skill. Representing the best of the best, selected bands compete before judges and thousands of spectators the Saturday night before Carnival officially begins.
Like the cosmopolitan mix of peoples and cultures that shaped the island, Trinidad's Carnival has many influences. The Spanish and English colonial powers, French planters, African slaves, Indian indentured labourers, and the many other ethnic groups that settled in Trinidad and Tobago have all left an indelible mark on the festival. In 1783 the French brought their culture, customs and Carnival, in the form of elaborate masquerade balls, to Trinidad along with African slaves. The period stretching between Christmas and the start of Lent was a time for feasting, fancy dress balls and celebration for both the French and British. Banned from the festivities, slaves in the barrack yards would hold their own celebrations mimicking their masters' behaviour while incorporating rituals and folklore. Once slavery was abolished in 1838, the freed Africans took their Carnival to the streets and, as each new immigrant population entered Trinidad, a new flavour was added to the festivities. Today, our diverse culture has influenced the music, food and traditions of Carnival.

You love her
And she's beautiful
And I'm happy
you're in love. But
What is it she has
that I don't?
It doesn't matter
It's not supposed to
matter to me
Because I promised you that
I was over you
I am over you
(What an ugly lie.)
But it does matter,
When you asked me what you're
supposed to do at a dance...
I told you. When the slow dance
music starts to play, you put your
hands on her waist and she'll put
her hands around your neck.
You'll dance with her and tell her
she's beautiful. And then at the
end of the song, you'll lean in
close and kiss her, gentle and
And I die a little inside,
Because you love her
And she's beautiful
And you can be happy
without me.

Like loosing their job because of "downsizing" etc, or getting left in the lurch by a spouse or significant other. It's a shock to them and hard to adjust to that way of life! But then there are the "mental" ones who just cant live any other way. I've seen it all. So I try to give when I can.

Unfortunately there are a lot of fake homeless folk who just don't want to work, and sadly that takes the attention away from those who are truly suffering, and why people virtually spit on homeless folk and show them no pity, merely assuming they will use it for alcohol or drugs.
I do feel bad for those truly down on their luck, but if they're not trying to do anything to get back on their feet and try to find WORK, then I've no pity for them.

As noted previously, candidate Barack Obama promised to protect whistleblowers who come forward with information disclosing government waste, abuse, and inefficiency. Unfortunately, President Obama has done exactly the opposite. Obama's real policies are exposed in documents filed in the prosecution of former CIA agent James Stirling.
According to federal prosecutors, Stirling was the source behind reports published by New York Times reporter James Risen (identified as "Author A" in its pleadings) that exposed a horribly botched, indeed hare-brained plot by the CIA designed to disrupt the Iranian nuclear program. In particular, one chapter in Risen's book, State of War: The Secret History of the CIA and the Bush Administration, describes a CIA-authored scheme to use a Russian double agent to deliver to the Iranians a set of technical drawings that had been carefully doctored so as to be worthless. However, the double agent turned on the CIA in the end, disclosing the flaws that had been built into the design. The end result: the CIA operation had actually advanced Iran's nuclear project. So what was the purpose of the strenuous U.S. government effort to punish Stirling for making it public? Justice contends that the disclosure harmed national security. But the decision to go after Sterling seems to have more to do with his violation of the intelligence community's code of omertà, under which no agent ever speaks about another's mistakes.
In a well-crafted discussion of the case, Josh Gerstein at Politico reports:
In a motion filed in federal court in Alexandria, Sterling's defense lawyers, Ed MacMahon Jr. and Barry Pollack, reveal that the prosecution has turned over "various telephone records showing calls made by the author James Risen. It has provided three credit reports—Equifax, TransUnion and Experian—for Mr. Risen. It has produced Mr. Risen's credit card and bank records and certain records of his airline travel."
The revelation alarmed First Amendment advocates, particularly in light of Justice Department rules requiring the attorney general to sign off on subpoenas directed to members of the media and on requests for their phone records. And Risen told POLITICO that the disclosures, while not shocking, made him feel "like a target of spying." "We've argued that I was a victim of harassment by the government. This seems to bolster that," Risen said. "Maybe I should ask them what my credit score is." Sterling's attorneys and a Justice Department spokeswoman declined POLITICO's request for comment…
Risen was twice subpoenaed to appear before a grand jury to testify about his sources, but the first grand jury dissolved before a judge acted on Risen's motion to quash the subpoena. Last year, U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema sided with Risen and quashed the second subpoena, though details of her reasoning haven't been made public.
Did the Justice Department circumvent the ruling of a federal judge and grab Risen's records even after its subpoena had been quashed? That's the way it looks. And that would be entirely consistent with the victory-at-all-costs mindset so prevalent these days at Justice.
What role did Eric Holder play in these escapades? During the 2008 presidential campaign, Holder repeated to audiences, including once in my hearing, that the Justice Department would tread lightly on the First Amendment rights of reporters. Subpoenas issued against reporters would need the attorney general's approval, he pledged. So did Holder approve the Department's secret seizure of Risen's personal records?
The Justice Department is telling us that it has weighed the people's right to know, embodied in the Constitution, against the right of senior CIA officials not to be embarrassed through the public disclosures of their mistakes, a right which has no legal basis whatsoever. Guess which "right" always comes out on top?
Glenn Greenwald has a good take on the same developments here.

- Preliminary Injunction
- A court order early in a lawsuit that prohibits the parties from taking a disputed action until the court can decide the merits of the case. For example, if a lawsuit is filed challenging the validity of a new government regulation, the court might issue a preliminary injunction preventing the government from enforcing the regulation until the court can decide whether the regulation is valid. Generally, the party seeking a preliminary injunction must show a substantial likelihood of success on the merits of the lawsuit and a substantial threat of irreparable harm if the injunction is not granted.

159 of 262 characters for my redoing of All Hearts. For the final character in Deep Space, it's the Grand Councilwoman of the big ship Stitch is imprisoned on! (Iiiii forget the name of the ship). I am forever amused that she immediately saw Aqua as competent enough to track down Stitch.
She is such a brilliant character!
I didn't know that was a woman till I read her data file. I loled
Pffff XD At least you can tell pretty easily in the movie?
I don't think the ship was ever named. I looked it up and I can't find any sources telling what it's called.

* Professor Howard Wasserman grades Representative Todd Akin's apology for his "legitimate rape" remarks — and gives the congressman partial credit for "owning" it. [PrawfsBlawg]
* Meanwhile, Professor Ann Althouse wonders: "Would the Democrats oust one of their own because he said one thing wrong?" [Althouse]
* Don't forget: tonight is the nomination deadline for our Lawyerly Lairs contest for the best law firm offices in America. [Above the Law]
* Our commenting platform, Disqus, is having issues — which may explain why comments are mysteriously disappearing from the site. We apologize for the problem, which we are investigating. [Disqus]
* Yesterday, we talked about Professor Jonathan Turley being butthurt over the criticism he received from Ann Althouse and others. Today, Althouse responds. I'm keeping my powder dry till Thursday, when I will undoubtedly have a full mental breakdown as SCOTUS overturns a healthcare plan I didn't really like in the first place. [Althouse]
* Woman gets raped. Woman gets morning after pill. Woman reports rape to police. Police arrest woman on outstanding, unrelated warrant.

* You know, I don't know how they afford this stuff, but having an inalienable right to "paid vacation" really feels like the kind of European invention we should be emulating. Good ideas can come from anywhere, folks. [Legal Blog Watch]
* Letting students sit for the bar exam after their second year but then making them come back to school for an even more obviously useless third year is a great way to make somebody have a total mental dissociative break. Just imagine calculating how much money you're being forced to waste while you sit there in a 3L seminar called "Law and Ceramics." [Faculty Lounge]
* Oh, I like this. The little Democrat in me can't help but like this: a "global" financial transaction tax. Mmm… there's nothing like the smell of global redistributive fairness. [Overlawyered]
* Jonathan Turley seems hurt that Ann Althouse and other conservative academics acted in a way that shows "we have lost the tradition of civil discourse in this country."

* Speaking of the "What What (In the Butt)" opinion, here's some analysis from Professor Ann Althouse. [Althouse]

Exploratory Testing: The Next Generation
Exploratory testing is sometimes associated with "ad hoc" testing, randomly navigating through an application. However, emerging exploratory techniques are anything but ad hoc. David Gorena Elizondo describes new approaches to exploratory testing that are highly effective, very efficient, and supported by automation. David describes the information testers need for exploration, explains how to gather that information, and shows you how to use it to find more bugs and find them faster. He demonstrates a faster and directed (not accidental) exploratory bug finding methodology and compares it to more commonly used approaches. Learn how test history and prior test cases guide exploratory testers; how to use data types, value ranges, and other code summary information to populate test cases; how to optimize record and playback tools during exploratory testing; and how exploratory testing can impact churn, coverage, and other metrics.

Poster Presentation
The general principle of combining information processing modules in a feed-forward manner, to sequentially process input until the desired output has been generated, is well understood and widely used. In contrast, biological neural circuits often consist of recurrently connected modules, with each module's units encoding a different aspect of the modeled world [1,3]. No engineering principles for constructing circuits in this biological pattern are available.
We explore this biological approach to circuit synthesis by creating a network of interacting visual maps whose goal is to find a scene interpretation consistent with the input. We construct the network by specifying the modules and their relationships as shown in Figure 1. The network is not hierarchical, and the relationships bi-directional, creating recurrent loops. The input we use is the time derivative (not the magnitude) of the light intensity at each pixel, as provided by an adaptive neuromorphic sensor [2].
Figure 1. (A) Network architecture. R = camera rotation (global 3D vector), F = optic flow (2D vector map), V = pixel positions projected onto sphere at focal point (constant 3D vector map), E = time derivative of light intensity (scalar map), G = spatial gradient of intensity (2D vector map), I = light intensity (scalar map). Each of these is a map of values covering the visual space, except for R, which is a single global value. Note that our sensory input is E, not I. (B) Example of I, G, E, and F while the camera is rotating around its viewing axis. The circular legend indicates directional colors in G and F.
Since different consistency constraints are located in different parts of the network, information must propagate from the input to the ends of the network and back repeatedly as the network converges to a globally consistent state, a process we refer to as holistic convergence. Because the formula involving the input E leaves F and G underconstrained, one cannot directly infer R and I from it. Only by combining local constraints from all parts of the network can a globally coherent interpretation be obtained.
This work demonstrates how a biologically inspired recurrent architecture of modules and local relationships can be designed to interpret noisy or ambiguous data even when there is not a clear feed-forward method to generate the desired interpretation. This provides a new paradigm for the design of information processing systems, based on principles found in biological systems.

Are blacklists killing more than spam?
Have some of the muscular responses to unsolicited bulk e-mail, such as blacklists that target Internet providers used by spammers, created problems of their own?
On Thursday, participants at a three-day spam summit convened by the Federal Trade Commission sparred over whether such blacklists are legal and whether they do more harm than good. Some speakers warned their use means that legitimate e-mail is often lost or silently discarded--becoming an accidental casualty in the war on spam.
Margie Arbon of the Mail Abuse Prevention System defended the practice of blacklisting, in which activists create and publish a list of Internet addresses that are linked with spammers. Internet service providers and individuals can subscribe to the list and use it to discard messages that originate from addresses on it.
"Blacklists are a decision by the owner of the equipment," Arbon said. "They are trying to defend their property...They are being inundated by this mail."

Lloyd Cole and The Leopards
Lloyd Cole and The Leopards
O2ABC, Glasgow
Loading article content
LLOYD COLE seems to think he's old. The Buxton-via-Glasgow pop poet says as much before kicking into the raucous Opposites Day, a highlight from his recent album Standards, which has rightly been aligned with Lloyd Cole and the Commotions' seminal 1984 debut Rattlesnakes.
Standards provided several highlights on this career-spanning Lloyd Cole trip, from the wry, handsome swagger of Women's Studies ("I've seen enough to make my recommendations"), to the deferred choral gratification of picturesque ballad Myrtle and Rose ("the longer you were gone, the less the longing").
Cole's all-star backing band, The Leopards - Mick Slaven (guitar), Douglas MacIntyre (guitar), Campbell Owens (bass), Jim Gash (drums) and Blair Cowan (keyboards) - were incendiary, and perfect.
They were true to the songs we know and love from his still-impeccable run of bookish, charming 80s pop hits, Perfect Skin, Brand New Friend, Lost Weekend, Rattlesnakes and Jennifer She Said among them.
And they breathed new life into gentle songs, most notably 2003's country ballad My Alibi, during which the inimitable Slaven turned his axe into something akin to a viola, using only a slide, and reminded us why he is one of our greatest, if unsung, guitarists.
Amid evocative Glasgow references that drew nostalgic cheers ("that place that used to be Chimichangas"), and voluble proposals from the surprisingly few females in the crowd, it became apparent that love for Cole, and his hair and arched eyebrow, was all around. He may now live in the US, but he'll always be our adopted son - whatever his real age. And going by his current rock 'n' roll renaissance, Cole is a young soul indeed.

At some point in the next ten to twenty years the public at large, consisting of people who pay little attention to the ins and outs of progress in medicine, will start to wake up to realize that much longer healthy lives have become a possibility for the near future. The preliminaries to this grand awakening have been underway for a while, gradually, and will continue that way for a while longer. A few people every day in ordinary walks of life notice that, hey, a lot of scientists are talking about greatly extending human life spans these days, and, oh look, large sums of money are floating around to back this aim. There will be a slow dawning of realization, one floating light bulb at a time, as the concept of radical life extension is shifted in another brain from the "science fiction" bucket to the "science fact" bucket.
Some folk will then go back to what they were doing. Others will catch the fever and become advocates. A tiny few will donate funds in support of research or pressure politicians to do the same. Since we live in an age of pervasive communication, we see this process as it occurs. Many people are all to happy to share their realizations on a regular basis, and in this brave new world everyone can be a publisher in their own right.
Here is an example that I stumbled over today; a fellow with a day to day focus in a completely unrelated industry took notice and thought enough of what is going on in aging research to talk about it. He is still skeptical, but not to the point of dismissing the current state and prospects for longevity science out of hand: he can see that this is actionable, important knowledge.
What if de Grey and Kurzweil are half right?
I think these guys - and the whole movement to conquer aging - is fascinating. I am highly skeptical of the claims, however. Optimism is all well and good, and I have no off-hand holes to poke in their (very) well-articulated arguments. But at the same time, biology is fiendishly complex, the expectations beyond fantastical.
Still though, I have to wonder: What if guys like de Grey and Kurzweil are half right, or even just partially right? What if, 30 years from now, it becomes physically impossible to tell a 30-year-old from a 70-year-old by physical appearance alone? It sounds nutty. But it's a lot less nuttier, and a lot closer to the realm of possibility, than living to 1,000 - which, again, some very smart people have taken into their heads as an achievable thing.
People who don't take care of themselves are insane. Ok, not actually "insane." But seriously, given the potential rewards AND the risks, not taking care of your body and mind - not treating both with the utmost respect and care - seems absolutely nuts. At the poker table I see these young kids whose bodies are already turning to mush, and a part of me just wants to grab them by the shirt collar and say "Dudes! What the hell is WRONG with you!!!"
If it is possible - just realistically possible, mind you - that I could still be kicking ass and taking names at 125 years old, then I want to be working as hard as I can to preserve and maintain my equipment here and now. No matter what miracles medical science will achieve in future, working from the strongest, healthiest base possible will always improve the potential results, perhaps by an order of magnitude. Individuals who go into old age with fit, healthy bodies and sound minds, and longstanding habits to maintain both, may find potential for extended performance at truly high quality of life that was never before imaginable.
As the foundations of rejuvenation biotechnology are assembled and institutions like the SENS Research Foundation continue to win allies in the research community and beyond, the number of people experiencing this sort of epiphany will grow. The more the better and the sooner the better, as widespread support for the cause of defeating aging through medical science is necessary for more rapid progress: large scale funding always arrives late to the game, attracted by popular sentiment. The faster we get to that point the greater our chances of living to benefit from the first working rejuvenation treatments.
Along the same lines of going mainstream, I wonder what is going on with Google's Calico? We have not heard anything from them for months. I was really hoping they would shake things up. I am proud to be living in the bay area where we have alot of movers and shakers and having Calico here is the icing on the cake. But so far, nothing from them (:
I still think it is going to be the demonstration of lifespan extension in a mouse model, with a technology applicable to humans that kicks this into higher gear.
I think it's going to be success in a few applicable areas in humans rather than mice and I don't think it's going to be one cathartic event.
If you can visually see an aspect of someone's aging reversed then it stands to reason that other areas can also be reversed and most people will be able to make that link in their mind.
I could be wrong.
Since it will be possible to slow and stop the aging process in the near future, any attempt to slow or stop this, is unethical and should be treated as such. Think about it! Remember, ethics function to maintain the status quo.

Parasailing Adventure
One of the hottest water sports available in posh beach resorts worldwide is parasailing. Water adventure lovers find it as one of the most thrilling water recreational activity, gliding through the fabulous beaches feeling the thrill and excitement of high-flying adventure.
It is also commonly called as parakiting or parascending, a fun activity where a person is towed behind a boat while attached to a specifically designed parasail wing, then the boat drives off carrying the parasailer into the air. One person per boat is recommended but two people can parasail behind a powerful boat at the same time.
The activity is mainly a fun ride and the parascender has no control over the parachute, so it is advised to make known of the parasail safety first before trying the water sport.

Mineralogy student here: Very cool find you have there!First of all, there are a couple things we can rule out. It is likely not lightning glass or a meteorite. Lightning glass (fulgrites) are more sandy and dendritic (branch-like) in consistency and often hollow. Not to mention they are usually quite small.A meteorite is unlikely as well for they are usually chondrites (stoney, non-metallic and full of rounded minerals) or achondrites (rock-like). Very rarely, some are the famous chunk-of-metal meteorites we hear of. We do get some glassy minerals from meteorite impacts called tektites, but these are often dark, no bigger than a tennis ball, and teardrop-shaped. They occur as the violent melted splash of whatever the meteorite hits.Having studied minerals for a while now, I can't say I know anything that naturally occurs like this. Even a perfectly formed quartz crystal would take a very long time to deposit, and it would be nearly impossible to create one so clear and imperfection-less. Also the lack of any crystal shape/faces adds to the doubt of it being natural.Odds are good it is just slag glass. How it got there beats me, but the consistency and colour and shape sure make it seem like a by-product of the production of something. A beautiful piece of garbage!Well that's my 3 cents. Anyone else?EDIT: Fun fact! That "wave like" texture you speak of is called a conchoidal fracture, and is typical of glass, quartz, and other minerals that do not like to cleave nicely.
Edit: I am editting my post to say it is worth between $150 to $250 dollars. I am willing to explain that if you care, OP. (Not for my financial gain, I'm not gonna ask you to sell it to me, or anything!)
