I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread with all the song descriptions we have got so far. I've included the descriptions from HitFix, Golden Mixtape, Spin, Artist Direct, Rolling Stone Magazine, Noisecreep, Myspace and Complex's description about "UNTIL IT BREAKS". I have also included Artist Direct Editor Rick Florino's tweet confirming that TINFOIL is an instrumental interlude.
HitFix: Album opener, "Lost In the Echo" starts big and stays big, instead of LP's tried-and-true pattern of beginning quietly then exploding into cacophony. Shinoda raps from the start , then vocalist Chester Bennington comes in, his vocals surrounded by echo on the propulsive track. The song signals, as Shinado pointed out at the end, that as much as the band was looking forward, it also took some of its cues from the '80s. Lyrically, the theme the pervades the song-- and the album--is a sense of disillusion and disappointment. "These promises are broken, defeated. Each word gets lost in the echo," Bennington sings.
Spin: "Lost in the Echo" featured a staccato guitar attack, tribal drums, crystalline keys and some brutal screams, but it also interweaved contemporary sub-bass boom and clangy industrial effects.
Golden Mixtape: "LOST IN THE ECHO" and "IN MY REMAINS" both had incredible build ups that lead the listener to an explosion of a relay of lyrics that seemed to showcase opposing ideas. One declared "I won't back up. I won't back down" while the other succumbed to "wash away the worst of me."
Artist Direct: LIVING THINGS comes to life with a blip of cackling feedback on "LOST IN THE ECHO". Soon, everything is subsumed by earth-shaking beats from drummer Rob Bourdon and airy synth sorcery by Joe Hahn. Brad Delson's guitars gut the swell as Mike Shinoda launches into an airtight verse beginning with the words, "You were that foundation". Chester Bennington sounds potently pristine during the stadium-size refrain, locking into an impenetrable harmony with Shinoda. They remain the most intriguing duo in music at large, and their interplay here is utterly mind-blowing. A cybernetic frenzy sizzles during a scratched out bridge before Bennington echoes, "This time I finally let you go". Phoenix's bass rumbles throughout the landscape, and suddenly you're plunged into a world ruled by these six individuals.
Noisecreep: LIVING THINGS kicks off with "LOST IN THE ECHO," and it's clear from the first tease of feedback that the band is in stellar form. The big, dramatic washes of synth, the complex, but strangely accessible syncopated beats and blistering raps create a full-on "Linkin Park comfort level" that no doubt will not just appeal to longtime fans, but generate lots of younger listener buzz as well.
MySpace: A grandiose, swelling number that harkens back to early single "In the End." Includes lyrics: "We got lost in the echo."
HitFix: Bennington sings of fear and pain over an electronic, aggressive, full sonic landscape; discordant and clangy. It shifts to a precise, military rat-a-tat as Bennington sings "Like an Army falling, one by one." He repeats the phrase as the tension builds and Rob Bourdon's drumming propels everything into lockstep.
Spin: "In My Remains" is both dark and triumphant, built for an arena at the end of days.
Golden Mixtape: "LOST IN THE ECHO" and "IN MY REMAINS" both had incredible build ups that lead the listener to an explosion of a relay of lyrics that seemed to showcase opposing ideas. One declared "I won't back up. I won't back down" while the other succumbed to "wash away the worst of me."
Artist Direct: A torrent of scratching fuels massive danceable percussion on "IN MY REMAINS" as Bennington's divine delivery entwines with shimmering electronics. Military drums punctuate the song's mid-section as Shinoda elegantly croons a haunting harmony over piano announcing, "Like an army falling one by one".
Noisecreep: "IN MY REMAINS" features a military drum march as the backbone behind a truly thunderous melody
Myspace: A heavy rocker that slowly builds from a sparse, electronic backbone. Includes lyrics: "Like an army falling one by one."
antiMusic: A big, semi-orchestral ballad.
MTV First: (Chester) "This song took a long time to finish too. It started off as this really simple song, and it came together quickly, but its progression froze for a while. It turned out to be this rocking, four-to-the-floor track with a big payoff."
03 BURN IT DOWN - [Released]
04 LIES GREED MISERY - [Released - Click HERE to download]
HitFix: The next track, "Lies, Greed & Misery," was the most innovative and captivating we heard of the six. Opening with Shinoda rapping over percolating synths and stutter steps, the song sounds like Linkin Park crossed with Skrillex crossed with M.I.A. A jagged, fuzzy keyboard bridge gives way to Bennington chanting "You Did It To Yourself," before he starts screaming the line over and over in a hypnotic frenzy.
Golden Mixtape: "LIES GREED MISERY" started off with an indie rock vibe but then as the hip hop sound LP's synonymous for hit, they hit hard. Mike said earlier that they never wanted to fall into the niche market critics put their first two albums in, but I felt this track was a progressive look back at where they started and where they are now. Where the pissed motif in their earlier work was like an out of control teen, the anger displayed in "LIES GREED MISERY" is a mad adult who channels their anger into art.
Artist Direct: Shinoda sounds like he's rapping from another universe on the skittering and staggering "LIES GREED MISERY". A majestic 21st century bitch slap, it's glitched-out, pissed-off hard rock.
MySpace: A thrashing, in-your-face number garnished with a hint of dub-step. Includes lyrics: "Now let me show you exactly how the breaking point sounds."
Spin: On "I'll Be Gone," his [Chester's] metallic vocals come from a character who's either forced or chooses to leave home before the sun comes up. Amidst the lo-bit glitch and seismic stomp comes an unlikely cameo: strings courtesy of Arcade Fire arranger Owen Pallett.
Artist Direct: Subtle handclaps bounce with the keyboards during the beginning of "I'LL BE GONE" before another instantly incisive hook. It's a firestarter with more snappy riffing from Delson.
Noisecreep: Other standout tracks include the hook-laden "I'LL BE GONE," which also feels like a single.
MySpace: An anthemic radio number that features heavy drums and urgent vocals. Includes lyrics: "It's time you let me go."
HitFix: "Castle Of Glass" felt like the biggest game-changer. Over an almost alternative country melody, Bennington sings "Take me down to the river bank... wash the poison off my skin...show me how to be whole again." It's one of the most straight forward tunes that the band has done with a traditional song structure. Bennington and Shinoda sing together as their voices, and desperation, rise, "I'm on a crack in this castle of glass."
Golden Mixtape: Much of the record was expected and then "CASTLE OF GLASS" ended our session. Looking over my scribbled text, I can make out "Americana" and "Bayou." Think of it as what you love about LP and throw in a pinch of folk. With Chester's horror movie past, we might hear this one in a spooky scene soon. As it played I could imagine youths terrified and running to the pace of the song as "…take me down to the river bend" filtered through their doom; it gave off an eerie feel.
Spin: The melancholic "Castle of Glass" offers a steam-engine chug and a mountain of sound while Bennington sings about being but a small crack in the titular edifice, illustrating belonging and futility in the same stroke.
Artist Direct: There's a folk elegance to the spacey "CASTLE OF GLASS", evincing some of Shinoda and Bennington's most poetic lyrics to date—"I'm only a crack in this castle of glass."
Noisecreep: Other standout tracks include...the moody, mercurial "CASTLE OF GLASS."
MySpace: A combination of synth and acoustic guitar that creates an atmospheric rocker. Includes lyrics: "I'm only a crack in this castle of glass."
MTV First: (Mike) "My vocal performance on the first part of that song...pretty much almost everything you hear in the beginning of that song was the very first demo."
Artist Direct: The band manages to harness that indie vulnerability moments before their heaviest track ever "VICTIMIZED". They've never done anything this bruising and brutal. Thrash paranoia steamrolls with tribal drums before a throat-slashing scream on the hook. It's vicious, violent, and vibrant. This unexpected drop is just plain fucking sick. You can practically envision festival crowds tearing up the ground to this one.
Rolling Stone: The brutal headbanger "Victimized" is the band's most aggressive track in years.
Noisecreep: Other standout tracks include...the wildly intense "VICTIMIZED." This track in particular just scorches - and has an instant-classic feel.
MySpace: Linkin Park's heaviest song yet, a screaming, heavy rock song that may surprise you.
Artist Direct: "ROADS UNTRAVELED" nods to classic rock, but it's unlike anything you've ever heard, especially once that big distortion hits.
Rolling Stone: "In the end, Living things incorporated some unexpected influences: ...the sea-chantey rhythms of "Roads Untraveled" reflect the band's new interest in folk."
MySpace: A piano-driven ballad that even features some chimes. Includes lyrics: "The love that you lost wasn't worth what it cost and in time you'll be glad it's gone."
Artist Direct: There's a glimmer of electro spunk to "SKIN TO BONE" before everything gets all tripped out on the refrain—another welcome surprise.
Rolling Stone: "In the end, Living things incorporated some unexpected influences: the campfire-style vocals of "Skin to Bone"...reflect the band's new interest in folk.
MySpace: An electro-driven rhythmic number that goes hard on the experimentation. Incudes lyrics: "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
Hitfix: "Until It Breaks" starts with Shinoda rapping over a swaggering beat, surrounded by beats coming at him from all angles. The song shifts into a Kanye West-like rap thump into real instruments—strings, keys—under Bennington's vocal as he prays for the "strength of the rising sun." The ambient sonics grew louder and stronger as the voices succumbed to the machines.
Golden Mixtape: As "UNTIL IT BREAKS" started, I thought how fitting we're remembering 20 years since the LA Riots this week. This song reminded me of a time where rap was about something and not so called "bling bling." The construction of the song made it sound as if it were escaping from a police radio at times. The 90′s feel is definitely something to highlight and celebrate on this portion of LIVING THINGS. Let's hope more of that's on the rest of the record.
Complex: Linkin Park has evolved from MTV frat-house faves into a class act and MC Mike Shinoda makes that clear in the rap-heavy joint "Until It Breaks" off Living Things. Over a bed of big healthy drums, he confidently spits, "I'm a Banksy / You're a Brainwash / Get the picture like that?" Yes, we get the picture.
Artist Direct: On the other end of the spectrum, "UNTIL IT BREAKS" stands out as the band's most poignant ballad ever.
Noisecreep: One of the album's two ballads (the other being 'POWERLESS'), "UNTIL IT BREAKS," is a nice pause in the action; an evocative piece of melodic electronica that builds and cascades in an even more lush, layered production than the rest of the record.
MySpace: One of the softer tracks on the album, centered on synth melodies. Includes lyrics: "You woke the devil that I thought you'd left behind." [Staff Note - These are actually Powerless lyrics, seems like MySpace messed up here.]
antiMusic: Perhaps the album's biggest surprise. Begins with a dub-y, raggae beat, and then ends with a choir-y outro.
MTV First: (Mike) "Until It Breaks is built just from pieces of scrapped demos. We basically packed those end to end to end; there were like 4 different demos that weren't going anywhere individually, but when you put them all together it made something really interesting. It's supposed to feel really jarring and weird, and for me it was a really fun song to make."
Rick Florino: "there's an instrumental interlude called "TINFOIL" that's killer"
MySpace: An intro between tracks that also delves into experimental noises.
Artist Direct: Everything culminates on the cinematic closer "POWERLESS". It has the heft of a John Williams score and the power of any of Linkin Park's best output.
Noisecreep: One of the album's two ballads.
Rock In Rio: (Chester) "The only slow song; a beautiful song."
MTV First: (Mike) "Took the longest to write. It was a really old demo, TINFOIL is the intro of it, and it turned into this epic 6 minute long thing, but it was kind of boring. It was too long, so months later we chopped it down to size. It probably took 9 months or even a year before the song was actually done. The last day of recording, we were still working on that song. Rob came in and recorded a new idea, and it made it way better."
Let me know if I've missed anything out!

Why is Alison Brie desirable?
There's something about Alison Brie that attracts men like moths to a flame. It has to do with a rare-in-Hollywood combination of her smoldering good looks, comedic goofiness and down-to-earth attitude. She first came to our attention in Mad Men, but it's really in Community that her talents shine through. We're thrilled that it's back on air.

Parson's School of Design in New York
For those who may be interested in pursuing graphic design degrees and furthering their education academically, Parson's School of Design, located in New York, can be a great alternative to some of the bigger and more commonly known schools around in the academic marketplace.
There are some advantages to consider when looking at Parson's, a lot of which are centered on its smaller size and more specialized programming. Since it is a small school focusing more exclusively on design courses, someone who is also very specialized in design themselves may find a fit at this college, since they will be less likely to have to wade through extraneous material, and cut right to the chase: designing graphic images, with a new degree to boot!
Obviously, there are other things to consider when looking at a college that is smaller, more specialized, and less known than some of its competitors. For instance, this author could not find a working URL for the site at the time of writing this article so it may be more difficult for aspiring students to find information if the school or business in question is of a smaller scale, perhaps with less resources to devote to website maintenance, advertising, and other aspects larger schools take for granted.
In terms of tuition, it is difficult to say anything without doing a proper analysis of all the options in question, including school, length of program(s), other costs that may not have been considered, as well as the credibility of the degree received at the end of the program.
Since Parson's is a school of design specifically, it's also important to look into the range of courses they offer in order to find an even more precise match in terms of students' interests, skills, and the direction of their graphic design futures.
With a school like Parson's Design where there is less overall information available, it can also be important to do some research on a more informal basis, such as talking to friends, associates, colleagues, and fellow graphic design enthusiasts as to what they consider to be the pros and cons of an institution such as this.
Smaller little-known schools can offer great advantages in terms of specialization, and there may be other fringe benefits like scholarships to look into as well. Since there is less overall business being generated from smaller schools, they may be more willing to meet students half way in certain areas, whereas there can be a tendency within the larger colleges and universities to get lost in the shuffle, which is certainly not the best option for those looking to stand out from the crowd with their superior graphic design capabilities. Perhaps a degree from Parson's School of Design in New York can help kick start a career in this field; it is certainly worth some effort on the part of the prospective student to look at all the options.

In fact, Brother David and others laid the ground work for an amazing transformation that would be brought about by Brother James Gaffney, FSC, who was inaugurated as President of Lewis University in October of 1988. The inauguration of Lewis University's fourth Christian Brother President took place in the heart of the Lewis University campus – Sancta Alberta Chapel. The start of Brother James Gaffney's presidency was seen as a new beginning for Lewis and a historic moment for the De La Salle Christian Brothers here, who, along with the faculty, staff and students, still mourned the loss of Brother David Delahanty, FSC.
Brother Bernard Rapp, FSC, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry and now Lewis University's archivist, recalled Brother David's legacy. "I really felt a great loss… He had done so much as President. He stabilized the finances, restored morale, and, as a faculty member, I felt that Brother David had given me and my colleagues a renewed sense of self-worth. When Brother James was named President, he was able to build upon the work of Brother David – in a sense, he was able to stand upon the shoulders of a giant."
Brother James had long been associated with Lewis, first as Chair of the Board beginning in 1975, and continuing as a member of the Board throughout the 1980s. This wealth of experience and deepened level of understanding provided him with the background and expertise required for his important new role as President. Perhaps the best preparation, however, was what was accomplished by his predecessor. "Brother David restored integrity and dignity to the presidency," recalled Brother James.
James Perrone, an accounting professor who has taught in the College of Business for over 30 years, recalled the renewed sense of optimism that swept the Lewis community when Brother James was inaugurated. "I can't remember more of a consensus of support for any President than when Brother James was named President. We saw him as this young rising star who would bring fresh insight to his work and get us back on track. He immediately went out into the community; he earned the support of the business community and got to really know as many people as possible."
Internally, Brother James led early efforts to significantly improve the financial situation, increase endowment, energize the institutional advancement office, grow academic programs, and physically enhance the campus. Brother Bernard remembered the psychological impact that the appearance of the campus had on visitors prior to Brother James' term as President. "When people came onto the campus, they had a bad impression of the University based upon what they saw outside, but what was going on in the classroom was outstanding."
Brother James recalled the state of the campus in 1988. "There was little evidence of pride in facilities. The facilities and landscaping were worn-out and depleted of resources. Even with a limited budget, the small improvements we undertook made a big difference." The work that began in 1988 never stopped. Alumni and longtime friends of the University alike can't help but notice this amazing physical transformation when visiting the campus today.
In the early 1990s, the President led a multi-year effort to renew the Mission of the University, which was meant to refocus the institution, unify the Lewis community and provide a framework for academics and planning. It was during this project that the faculty and staff of Lewis, along with members of the community and many others came to a better understanding of our heritage and our Catholic and Lasallian identity that served as the basis for all that took place inside and outside of the classroom.
The Mission renewal project helped the University community to understand perhaps more than many other institutions sponsored by the Christian Brothers, that the Mission wasn't only embodied in the Brothers themselves, but was something that everyone had an important role in modeling to students and to the community. The Brothers paved the way, leading by example and helping students to understand what the Lasallian charism was all about and how to incorporate it into their lives and work. Sharon O'Connell, a 1996 graduate of Lewis' History program and who is now an attorney, put it best when she said, "The Brothers have chosen to live among students, to interact daily with the students, and to teach students – not only in the classroom, but by example. It is the responsibility of each student to take the examples set forth by the Brothers and incorporate the knowledge we gain throughout our Lewis experience and to seek justice in our communities and our world."
In keeping with the Christian Brothers' interest in the development of students intellectually, spiritually, physically and socially, under Brother James' leadership Lewis has become an exemplar of student-centeredness. In his inaugural address 22 years ago, Brother James noted that, "Being involved in the Mission of Lewis University is such a special privilege because of the significance of what is happening to our students while they are with us, and how we can contribute to their growth and holistic development. In God's providence we have a vital mission that is also a source of great satisfaction. We are offering our students something of lasting value during perhaps the most critical years of their lives." Ensuring that students have the best possible educational experience at Lewis, one that is personalized, valuescentered, faith-filled and academically rewarding has been one of the President's greatest accomplishments.
Sharon O'Connell recalled, "One of the elements of my experience at Lewis University which continues to amaze me… is the familiarity with which Brother James would greet all students. I have a distinct recollection of shock the first time he said hello to me, by name, during the second week of classes. This experience is shared by countless other students over the years. Over time, we come to accept Brother James' inquiries about classes, family and social events with muted awe. But the fact remains that in that one initial act of calling a new student by name, Brother James welcomes students into the Lewis family, communicates his devotion and commitment to the students and the community and helps each student understand, in a very fundamental way, that a student is never really just a number at Lewis University."
Today, with more than 600 faculty and staff employed at Lewis, almost 20 Christian Brothers serve in a variety of capacities. Some teach and chair academic departments, while others serve in administrative and staff roles. Those who are retired are active among the campus community and all Brothers, regardless of their formal responsibilities, remain a source of inspiration and encouragement to all members of the Lewis community.

Cliqset Relaunches, Joins the Real-Time Streaming Club
The web service Cliqset launched a beta version of its new website Wednesday.
The service has undergone a significant makeover with this release, having transformed from a developer-centric platform to a user-centric app for following, posting to and interacting with real-time activity streams around the web.
The redesign puts Cliqset in the same camp as other real-time services like FriendFeed, Facebook and Plaxo Pulse. It also opens up a new set of tools to developers that should prove to be a huge help for anyone building real-time web apps.
The launch is still a private beta, but Cliqset has offered to let in 200 Webmonkey and Wired.com readers — just go to this URL. The first 200 people to register will be automatically approved. Everyone else will have to wait a couple of weeks.
If you have a Cliqset account from the last version of the site, that should also get you into the beta.
When we last wrote about Cliqset earlier this year, the company was putting the finishing touches on its application platform. It was busy recruiting developers to code up some apps for engaging all the photos, links, status updates and videos being posted on the social web. But without too many apps to show off, things were pretty quiet on Cliqset — it basically served as a glorified address book.
The site has changed direction since then, and for the better. The Cliqset team has built in an impressive top layer of user-facing features that show off the robust, real-time streaming platform underneath.
The timing is right, as the real-time social web is undergoing a period of explosive growth. Dozens of services are competing to be your social hub —- a place to aggregate and interact with the streams of data coming out of Twitter, Facebook, FriendFeed, Flickr and all the various nodes on your own social map.
Facebook in particular has taken a specific interest, beefing up its own real-time mojo by purchasing FriendFeed in August, and shortly thereafter releasing its code for serving real-time data.
It makes sense then that Cliqset has much in common with other social aggregation sites like FriendFeed. After you sign up, you tell Cliqset what your username is at all of the other social web services you're into — Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Tumblr and so on. Cliqset offers to pull content from around 70 social sites right now. It pulls all of your activities from those sites and posts them in a stream that refreshes as new stuff flows in. You can import your contacts to find other people you know on Cliqset. Once you do, you can see their updates appear in your stream, comment on each others posts and cross-post anything they share (to your own Twitter account, for example).
The new user interface is downright beautiful. You can tell Cliqset has really focused on making the stream as clean and uncluttered as possible. Extra functions and sharing buttons only appear when you hover over a shared item or click on one with your mouse.
A huge bonus is that Cliqset is using the emerging Activity Streams data specification to make all this happen. Activity Streams is an open-source XML-based format that uses a common actor-verb-asset model to report an activity on a social website. For example, "Amy shared a video" or "Mike rated this photo." It's a simple organizing principle that allows social web services to more easily talk to each other about what their users are doing.
But if not everyone is reporting their users' activity data using a common model, it becomes harder to get two services to talk to each other. And only a handful of sites are supporting Activity Streams right now.
As Cliqset co-founder Darren Bounds tells Webmonkey, Cliqset is actually re-writing all the aggregated data streams into the Activity Streams format, physically cleaning up the social web's mess as it goes.
By presenting such clean data, Cliqset is able to do some very cool things with its new user interface.
You can filter your stream by content type or activity using a set of icons at the top. So if you just want to see photos, status updates, or videos, you can click on the camera, the speech bubble or the movie camera. Likewise for bookmarks, likes, ratings. You can also build Boolean filters by including or excluding multiple content types.
Along with Wednesday's new user-facing site, Cliqset is also releasing a set of APIs that expose these nicely-formed streams. So, if you're a developer who wants to write a real-time updating web app, you can build it on Cliqset's platform and avoid the headache of coding around various non-conforming stream formats.
And all that business about "finding your friends" — Cliqset is also supporting the open-source Portable Contacts format for importing and exporting address book data safely. When you check your Gmail contacts to see who else you know is on Cliqset, you're not handing over your Google login or password. There's still an annoying step where you're asked to spam everyone you know and tell them about Cliqset — a truly poor practice everyone should just stop right now — but Cliqset leaves everyone unchecked by default and makes it easy enough to skip that part altogether.
Bounds says it was extremely important to him and his team that Cliqset implements and promotes open data stream and identity standards across the whole platform.
As such, the company is implementing OpenID and OAuth to handle logins and authentications, but something you won't find as an option is Facebook Connect, which uses proprietary code.
It's also notable that Cliqset is dumping its old iPhone app for a mobile client that better reflects the new real-time streaming experience. Bounds doesn't have any details to share about those plans, but we'll certainly be watching for something along those lines in the future.

Adobe Debuts New Flash Tools for Building and Tracking Social Apps
Software maker Adobe has announced a new set of Flash Platform Services, a group of tools that give Flash developers an easier way to build, deploy and track their apps on the social web's various application platforms.
Adrian Ludwig, group manager for the Flash Platform, tells Webmonkey the new Flash Platform Services will "help app developers building on Facebook and other social networks reach a larger audience." Ludwig also promises that the new components will make it easier for developers to manage and track their apps — who's installing them and using them, and how often, for example — thanks to a clean, simple stats-tracking package.
When social networks first started rolling out their application platforms, it seemed like anyone could release an app and the viral nature of the social network would take care of the rest. But those days are long gone. Now, releasing an app on Facebook, MySpace or other social platforms now is like tossing a needle into a haystack.
This is the conundrum Adobe is hoping to solve. Using Flash Platform Services, designers get tools to speed common development tasks and automatically create elements like "share this" buttons, e-mail links and mobile delivery options. All of the new Flash Platform Services are component-based tools, so adding them to your application is just a matter of drag-and-drop. The components themselves are ActionScript libraries, so it's easy to customize them, though Ludwig tells Webmonkey that everything should "just work" right out of the box.
The components themselves are free, but Adobe has a few extra, enhanced capabilities available on a pay-per-use basis. See Adobe's website for details.
Also part of the announcement is a new partnership with Gigya, the widget distribution service, which will give developers access to usage statistics pulled from Gigya and displayed in a nice looking AIR application that will available as a separate download.
While its not part of today's announcement, in the future Adobe plans to release more Flash Platform Services including a package named "Social" which will give developers a way to build write-once, run anywhere apps that work on all the major social networks.
So far Adobe has not set a time line for the Social Service, but the distribution and statics services are available for download today. If you'd like more details on how the new components work head over to Adobe download center.

Let's Be Friends: Facebook Acquires FriendFeed
The two best websites for connecting with your friends have suddenly connected with each other.
Facebook has acquired the life-streaming website FriendFeed, the companies announced Monday. The sites will both continue to operate independently for the time being until the companies can decide the best way to integrate their products.
The integration will be delicate work: While the two sites have much in common, there are several hurdles relating to privacy, feature redundancy and the big question of what to do with all that FriendFeed data that need to be overcome.
"The exact plan for how the integration is going to be handled is something we're still discussing," FriendFeed founder Paul Buchheit tells Webmonkey. "In the short term, nothing changes."
Friendfeed and its API will both remain working normally until further notice, the company explained in a blog post Monday. Also, according to the official press release posted at Facebook, FriendFeed's employees will join Facebook, and the site's four founders will take on new roles within Facebook's engineering and product teams.
At this point, details are slim: Both FriendFeed and Facebook folks have made it clear that the long-term plans for merging the products are still being ironed out.
Webmonkey's biggest question is what this means for the "stuff" currently residing on FriendFeed's platform. Right now, the default is that all posts are published publicly, and there are millions of comments, files and links stored on FriendFeed that will need to be forklifted over to Facebook. What changes will we see when that data is moved over, if any at all?
Buchheit says long-term issues such as that one are still being resolved.
"We want to look out for our users," he stresses, "so obviously we want to make sure everything is preserved. But as far as the long term and how those integrations will happen, we're still working on it."
It's not surprising to see these two companies come together. Both Facebook and FriendFeed offer easy ways for friends to connect online, share links, photos, status updates and other socially relevant media. Both sites also emphasize the importance of providing real-time updates. The big difference is that, while some users publish exclusively to FriendFeed, the site is more broadly used as a funnel — an aggregation tool that pulls in data streams from a plethora of social websites using streams.
Facebook has a much more fleshed-out platform. Granted, you can set up your Facebook profile to pull in activity streams from other sites like Flickr and Twitter, but most Facebook users prefer to just post everything to the native publishing platform provided by Facebook.
When Facebook updated its site design about a year ago, it brought the two products closer together visually as well.
But it's the differences that are going to stand out. Both Buchheit and Facebook VP of Engineering Mike Schroepfer, to whom we also spoke, say that there are some particularly difficult challenges ahead, like the fact that many of FriendFeed's features, such as Groups, don't correlate exactly with any of Facebook's current features. There are some features that come close, but the rest present headaches the companies will have to cure down the road.
And what about FriendFeed users who are not Facebook users? Will they have to sign up for Facebook to continue using FriendFeed?
Again, both Buchheit and Schroepfer said that their teams are working on the long-term details for transitioning user accounts.
One thing that should make the integration easier is that Facebook supports the emerging Activity Streams standard, a way of structuring data streams that standardizes the way events are announced. For example, "Scott posted a photo" or "Heather commented on a video."
One point we didn't get to ask about is the fact that FriendFeed recently added a file sharing component to its service that lets users pass MP3s to one another, and to publish them for streaming and download on the public web. It will be interesting to see if this will be integrated into Facebook, and what shape it will take if it is.
Developers who are working on apps that push to or pull from FriendFeed can watch for developments in the FriendFeed News group. Likewise, Facebook developers can keep up to date with changes at developers.facebook.com.

The Weld County CO Department of Public Health announced on Aug. 12 that a Larimer County resident has been diagnosed with "rabbit fever" or tularemia after mowing on a property in Weld County. The bacterial illness is most common in small mammals. The Health Department believes this patient was exposed when he mowed over a dead rabbit in mid July.
On July 18, the Larimer County CO Department of Public Health announced a confirmed tularemia illness in a patient in that county. The department also reported the infection in four rabbits. Residents had noticed a die-off of rabbits and hares in the county for several weeks prior to the announcement.
Tularemia is the proper name for an illness called rabbit fever. Humans can contract the illness in several ways. It can be spread through the bites of ticks or deer flies. Skin contact with sick animals or drinking contaminated water can also be a source. And, as may have happened in Weld County, a patient can contract rabbit fever by inhaling contaminated dust or aerosols.
The signs and symptoms of tularemia are dependent upon how the patient was infected. A high fever, as high as 104 degrees, is common. If the patient was exposed through contact with an infected animal or through an insect bite, a skin ulcer will appear. If the patient inhaled the bacteria, he may develop pneumonia which can be serious or even fatal.
The illness responds to treatment with antibiotics. It may take up to 21 days of treatment to cure tularemia, and the symptoms may last for several weeks.
As of Aug. 2, there have been 58 human tularemia cases reported to the Centers for Disease Control in 2014. Case counts have been increasing, with 2009 seeing 93 cases in total and 2013 seeing 203. Those numbers are well down from the 1950s which saw between 500 and 900 cases per year. There was an uptick in rabbit fever cases between 1980 and 1985 but the highest year was just over 300 cases reported.
Tularemia is one of several bacterial illnesses that the U.S. government believes could be weaponized into a tool for bioterrorism. The bacteria which causes rabbit fever is Francisella tularensis, and it is highly infectious. Fewer than 50 organisms are necessary for a patient to contract the disease. The incubation period is three to five days but can range from one day to 12. The bacteria would most likely be made airborne for use as a bioweapon, since inhalation produces the most serious form of the disease.

Kyle Richards doesn't like people who are fake and that includes Carlton Gebbia. As reported by All About The Real Housewives on Thursday, Jan. 9, Kyle blasted her "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" co-star for being nice to her and then slamming her later on.
"Dear Carlton, wouldn't it be easier to not accept my invitations, then to come & be nice to my face and then speak badly about me?" Kyle tweeted after watching the episode, in which she invited the ladies to her charity fashion show.
When a fan pointed out that perhaps the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast members are contractually required to attend each other's events, Kyle responded that it isn't and even if so, Carlton still didn't have to be nice to her face only to talk bad about her later on.
Kyle Richards is likely referring to Carlton Gebbia's Monday night's appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," during which she labeled Kyle a moron and ignorant for questioning her faith with, according to her, bad intent.
Do you like Kyle or Carlton better?

Remind me to never convert C to Cocoa ever again
By seapegasus on Jan 17, 2006
I meant the first longer post in the Mac section to be different, but here goes: Aaarrggghh!
Once in my life I go out of my way to learn and implement a real algorithm from scratch -- and then the book's incomplete. I'll tell you another time what kind of demo I'm trying to write (a game), but now it suffices to say I am using Cocoa and it required a very basic scanline algorithm.
Well, I just copied an old version of scanline from the afore-mentioned "Programming 3D games in Macintosh C" book, and changed a couple of lines to make it run in Cocoa. No big deal, it all scales very well to Objective C. The book's author even cleverly relies on a variable xUnit when stepping through the image buffer when coloring pixels. Dispite this clever move, his implementation still only works with 8bit graphics. :-(
In short -- 8-bit-color means the buffer uses 8 bit = 1 byte to store the color information of 1 pixel, boiling down to 2\^8=256 individual colors per pixel. Alternatively, you could also use 24-bit-RGB-color, spoiling you with 16777216 different colors. (Using multiples of 8bit is preferable, since bytes usually can be more quickly accessed.) But in the 24-bit case, you have to make sure to make 3-byte steps in the buffer, otherwise everything you draw will slim down to one third its width and suddenly has a very very ugly coloring scheme... Trust me, I saw it.
Basicly, what happened was, that I relied on the authors's claim to be using xUnit consistently throughout his implementation. He, however, designed it with 8-bit in mind, where xUnit always equals 1. So when I tried to adapt the implementation to 24-bit by (roughly) simply setting xUnit=3, my pretty "6-color rotating cube demo" suddenly looked like a happily dancing multi-color architect's dream drawn by a two-year-old in the dark with mittens on. :-C
I spent half the month (well, the Sundays only...) systematically hunting down silly individual pixels in search for an explanation; only to discover that the original 8-bit implementation
a) in one case suddenly used ++ incrementors instead of +xUnit, and
b) in a second case didn't multiply by xUnit, (because xUnit=1 in his case)...
c) And then I noticed, that he had been using bytes per row instead of pixels per row all along...
Grrrmph. Well, it's obvious now, in 8-bit-mode, bytes and pixels per row are the same thing (1). But in 24bit, there are three times as many bytes as pixel, resulting in interesting patterns if mixed up. \*SIGH\*
Anyway, at least I can claim now in my CV that I'm a specialist in diagnosing typos in scanline-polygonfill by magically looking at crazy lines in an NSWindow... :-)

An entire function $f(z)$ is of exponential type $\alpha$ if there exists $A$ such that $|f(z)|\leq Ae^{\alpha|z|}$ for all $z\in \mathbb C$. Given that $A=1$: how to prove that $$\frac{1}{2\pi}\int_{0}^{2\pi}\log|f(re^{i\theta})|\,d\theta\leq \frac{2\alpha r}{\pi}$$ for all $r>0$.

Jean-Luc Ponty: The Gardens of Babylon
The Gardens of Babylon
Jean-Luc Ponty (violin)
Imaginary Voyage (Atlantic 19136)
Jean-Luc Ponty (violin),
Allan Zavod (keyboards), Darryl Stuermer (guitar), Tom Fowler (bass), Mark Craney (drums).
Composed by Jean-Luc Ponty.
Recorded: Burbank, CA, July-August 1976
Rating: 89/100 (learn more)
The two most important fusion violinists were Jean-Luc Ponty and Jerry Goodman. Each had a classical background but branched out. Ponty came more from the jazz tradition and was European. Goodman entered the genre from the folk-rock angle and was a pure mid-western hippy. Goodman's sound was purposely rough around the edges. This gave his music a strong rock component that was perfect for the original Mahavishnu Orchestra. As Goodman's de facto replacement in the band's second incarnation, Ponty brought something different. His sound was purer, more European and more symphonic. That was perfect for the expanded Mahavishnu, which was now almost a real orchestra in size. Goodman's personal confidence issues have hampered his career for 30 years, but Ponty's stint in the MO led to a successful run that has kept him in the spotlight ever since.
"The Gardens of Babylon" was a typical Jean-Luc Ponty commercial vehicle of the day. Its cyclical melody would instantly find its way to the pleasure part of your brain and force you to buy the record. His guitarist Daryl Steurmer plays a pretty acoustic interlude before Ponty's long electric sonorous solo. There is much to be admired both in the tune's melody and the band's sound. This was a cleaner and more organized fusion. But therein lies the rub. This tune is very good, yet under its surface lurked the basic raw materials that would lead to the WAVE and Quiet Storm radio formats, which in turn doomed fusion as an escape from the mundane world. The seeds of Smooth Jazz (excuse me while I snap a violin string) were first planted in music like this.

take a look at the msg board for the last few weeks or so.
it would appear that the only ONE that misses YOUR guru the most is YOU. (with the exception possibly of budfox).
are you going to ignore this msg from me as you have the last ones addressed to you?
also: your first msg got replied to by YOU and you said (to yourself????):
Don't miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way that you expect it to be. Being cooped up for too long is making you insular and will equally make you draw unwarranted conclusions.Get out there and enjoy life!

Transforming an old textile..
JUST another 'ole' tattered signature quilt....
'Lone Star Braggin' Rights reversible story quilt #3...
by Sherry A. Byrd
This post is a short ....mostly pictorial... sneak preview. to the renovation and restoration of 'Lone Star Braggin Rights' reversible story quilt. The preview will introduce you the viewer to some of the additions, modifications, enhancements and embellishments that I have added to the new story quilt composition. The old signature quilt when found in March of 1999 was very fragile and delicate, so I decided that I would try to extend its life and longevity by giving it some serious reinforcements...Sherry Byrd style. Thus I determined that I would roll it over by recycling it into one of my wonderful reversible story quilts. ( I have written about these two story quilts in other posts on the blog. They are :
"Jazz With A Needle and Thread"
One of my greatest intentions for tackling this transformation is to give the textile more strength to keep it stable enough for vigorous viewing.... such as when opportunities arise for it to be exhibited. In the fragile condition in which it was recovered this would have been very difficult, if at all possible , if one wanted to perhaps hang it on a wall. The consequent stress might cause substantial unrepairable damage. The way in which I have anchored it into my new creative compositional arrangement will cause any such possible stresses to be on the stronger more newer materials and not the signature quilt itself. And second the new composition will compliment the signatures by causing the history behind the names to blossom and grow right before the viewers' very eyes in just one single glance.
At this point in my efforts to compose this reversible story quilt I have practically finished Side # 1 and am about 1/3 into side #2, so most of what you will get to view here will be from the first side.
Maybe, as I get farther along on side two I may do another post on the compositional arrangement or just revise this one. I haven't definitely decided yet. It has taken me approximately 14 years to get this far....as I only work on it when I can squeeze in spare time from all my secular obligations. So I hope you will enjoy this preview . I also hope you like what you see. ...because there is more to come. ENJOY!!!

This village lost in the heart of sprawling vineyards was formerly the site of the wealthy monastery of Offoniscella, destroyed in the 19C. Excavation work has revealed the oldest mosaic in Germany, which dates from the 11C, in the shape of a medallion of 3m in diameter.
