Who knows??
Whatever. It doesn't matter. This is a masterful quartet that is on the top fucking echelon of music. Period. Stop reading. Oh...you want to continue reading? Oh, well, here goes:
You thought you were just going to see you're friends fav band play; no big deal, right? Then you showed up...a rapid first set consisting of just a few songs melted your face off...you said, 'what the fuck bro-dog? That was 'a-hellofa-show' and we've got to move on.
LOW, out of nowhere, you're reminded that this is the end of the first set. You realize your life is worthless and then you get your face melted again in the 2nd set....what's happening, what's going on? Only an awesome show...well done boys, well done.

New Book: Solomon: Israel's Ironic Icon of Human Achievement by Walter Brueggemann
Decatur, GA.—Walter Brueggemann, Old Testament professor emeritus at Columbia Theological Seminary, is the author of Solomon: Israel's Ironic Icon of Human Achievement. Recently released by University of South Carolina Press, this is the latest book in their Studies of Personalities of the Old Testament series. The book explores various ways in which King Solomon is presented in the Old Testament historical and wisdom literature as well as his place in the New Testament. It also considers traditions that are derivative from the Solomon text, even the modern movement of the Masons. Brueggemann says, "My study made me freshly aware of two things--how complex is the biblical text that does not admit of our simplistic treatment, and how incredibly contemporary the text turns out to be. I came to see that while Solomon is remembered as wise, powerful, and wealthy, there are subtle hints all through the text that he was in fact a fool who knew no limits to his own ambitions. It takes little imagination to see that the foolishness of limitless power and wealth is as pertinent in contemporary time as in ancient time." Series editor James L. Crenshaw says of the book that Brueggemann examines anew traditional assertions about the meaning of the accomplishments of Solomon's kingship and finds that "an irony permeates the tradition" surrounding his reign. "Through [Brueggemann's] close attention to nuances of the biblical text, he exposes the competing interpretive voices that claim to offer a reliable rendering of Solomon." The result is an exegetical exercise in "sorting out the reality of human power in the matrix of covenantal faith." Solomon is available through the seminary bookstore, email@example.com or 404-687-4550. Columbia Theological Seminary, located in Decatur, Georgia, was established in 1828 and is one of 10 theological institutions of the Presbyterian Church (USA).

Leaving Maiden Desmodus
13th March, 2011 | Games, Maiden Desmodus, MUDs | 7 Comments
I've recently left the staff of Maiden Desmodus and am no longer involved with the game in any way. I've also sold my share in The Binary Forge Limited to my former business partner Wade Gustafson and he is now in charge of running the game and any future development.
I was really sad to leave the game, although my working relationship with Wade had become increasingly strained over the last year. It's difficult to walk away from something completely like that when you've put so much into it, but unfortunately that's the way it has to be.
I've enjoyed interacting with all the great players I met on MD and I wish them all the best for the future. I'm sure Wade will continue to develop the game and I wish him every success.
My non-mudding time is quite busy right now so I'm in no hurry to look for another project just yet but as always I have some ideas that I'm thinking about.
In the mean time I really will get to doing those mud reviews I promised!

Cellular alchemy caught in actionFebruary 8, 2013 by Bill Hathaway in Biology / Cell & Microbiology
One of the most critical biological advances in the past decade was the discovery that the introduction of four simple genetic factors can turn a fully mature adult cell back into an embryonic-like state, a process called reprogramming.
Now, Yale School of Medicine researchers have created a video that shows in great detail how this transformation takes place. The Yale team introduced these genetic factors into a blood cell and watched as it formed a colony of pluripotent cells, which are capable of becoming many different types of cells.
The reprogramming process holds the promise of creating cell-based therapy for a host of serious diseases. However it has been a mystery how and when an individual cell decides to make this drastic change.
"These movies show that the process is more complicated than we thought. Now that we can see how it happens, we have an opportunity to getting to know the cells better, and control their behaviors better," said Shangqin Guo, research scientist at the Yale Stem Cell Center and lead author of the study, published in the journal Stem Cells.

Ranking Recipients of Lobbyist Money
Iowa Rep. Jim Leach and Wisconsin Sen. Herb Kohl aren't exactly the flashiest legislators in Washington, but they do shine in one special way: neither accepted money from lobbyists last year.
That's according to the nonprofit watchdog group Public Citizen, which today released rankings of Senate and House members most dependent on campaign donations from special interests and those who accepted the most money from lobbyists and special interests.
Leach, a Republican, topped the list of House members who accepted the least from lobbyists, with retiring Rep. Tom Osborne (R., Neb.) coming in next, with just $108 accepted last year. On the other end, Rep. Jerry Lewis (R., Calif.) received the most contributions from lobbyists, $172,248, and was followed close behind by Rep. John Murtha (D., Pa.) and Rep. Michael Oxley (R., Ohio), who received $167,342 and $167,048, respectively.
On the Senate side, Kohl, a Democrat, was the only senator who didn't accept any money from lobbyists, according to Public Citizen. Sen. Daniel Akaka (D., Hawaii) took in just $4,556 and Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D., N.J.) accepted $8,271. Sen. Richard Shelby (R., Ala.) took in the most money from lobbyists, $214,885, with Sen. Hillary Clinton (D., N.Y) not far behind at $203,600.
The group mostly relied on publicly available data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics. Public Citizen's study is available on a new Internet site — http://www.cleanupwashington.org/sii/ — which allows users to check how their congressman or senators rank compared with other members. –Amy Schatz

It's Wii bowling day at the Edgewood Retirement Center and while everyone is having a good time, a very serious disease could be staring a lot of these 80-year-olds right in the face without them even knowing it.
"In the state of Michigan, we're talking anywhere from 180-200 thousand people with Alzheimer's," Elizabeth Longley of the Alzheimer's Association says.
In fact, the Great Lakes Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association says if you're in your 80s, you have a 50/50 shot of being afflicted with the disease-- the symptoms are barely recognizable at first...
"Sons or daughters will go and see that Mom or Dad hasn't had breakfast or they're forgetting to eat," Diane Kobayashi of Granton Senior Communities says.
But when the disease kicks in, it starts a whole new round of problems.
Wandering is one of the most frightening symptoms of advancing dementia, where older folks who are simply out on a routine walk forget what they're doing and get lost--- it happens to nearly 60% of patients, and the outcome usually isn't good.
"Most people who wander aren't found alive," Longley says.
The answer to preventing such a thing from happening to your loved one may lie in a braclet-like device...
"Anything that you can get to find someone quickly is crucial," Longley explains.
It may look like a toy, but there's actually a GPS inside the bracelet that can track the elderly no matter where they are-- and experts say the device is a must-have for anyone suffering from Alzheimer's.
"We often have family members who say 'oh don't worry about it,' they've never wandered--- at some point in time they probably will," Longley explains.

I can't get enough of these DIY multitouch projects, in fact I'm hoping that the more companies like Microsoft see that there's demand for large-scale, low-cost touchscreen technology, the more likely it is that they'll release products that the less DIY-able among us (myself included) can tackle. This latest, by Christopher Jette, outwardly resembles a rear-projection TV, but in actual fact it's a purpose-built multitouch displaythat uses the Frustrated Total Internal Reflection system to recognise multiple points of contact. As with many of the other projects, it relies on a hacked webcam, a standard projector and special software.
Check out the demo videos after the cut
Frustrated Total Internal Reflection uses IR leds to bounce light internally through a sheet of Plexiglass; normally the light is contained within the pane, but when a finger touches it's scattered out the back. That's picked up by the webcam, hacked to recognise only IR light, and the software translates those recognised blobs into stretch, twist and other commands. Christopher also adds a layer of silicone rubber which reduces the pressure needed against the screen.
Christopher is clear that this isn't really a first-time project, and nor is it suitable for commercial use. But his Instructable is certainly clear enough that if you're not as cack-handed as I am you could probably come up with a reasonable facsimile. I'm going to have to wait until Microsoft decides to stop being stupid and release their TouchWall software.

Silverwood Park is the newest park in the Three Rivers Park District, and it is a beauty to behold!
It is located on Silver Lake in St. Anthony off of Silver Lake Road/45th Ave (Open from 5am to 10pm)
Enjoy checking out the Gorgeous Visitor Center, grab a cup of coffee if you so desire, and take a walk out to the Island.
Once you cross over, follow the North Flank past the structure in the middle to a mound of grass, from there continue about 60 steps to a tree with a great Hobbit Hole at the base.
Go low, and look under the leaves etc. to find the "Who" you are looking for. (The first Who went missing, so I re-carved Who II.)
After coming off the Island follow the path South along the Lake, passing first the Maple Seed Sculpture, then continue as the path curves to the North past two buildings on your right.
Pass the intersection continuing Northbound, after a minute or two of walking you will start to go down hill passing through the "canyon".
When you reach the final rock on the left of the canyon take about 33 steps, then look to the East, and walk 12 steps down the hill to a rock alcove facing 2 trees.
Follow South along the rock wall about 10 steps, and look behind a hand sized triangular rock in between two large rocks to find the den of the Silver Fox.

|Acura Announces New U.S. Design Studio to Kick Off 20th Anniversary
New facility will be built in Torrance, California
|TORRANCE, Calif, U.S.A., January 8, 2006–Acura announced plans for a new Acura design studio to be located close to Honda R&D Americas, Inc. headquarters in Torrance, California. This strategic move follows the recent announcement that the Acura brand will be launched in Japan, furthering the globalization of the brand. This new, exclusively Acura design facility will help to ensure additional separation of the Honda and Acura brands.
"The TL and MDX demonstrate how our U.S. teams can design and develop great products," said Takeo Fukui, President and Chief Executive Officer, Honda Motor Co., Ltd. "In this new studio, designers and stylists from around the world will play a lead role in designing future Acura models." The announcement comes as Acura kicks off its 20th anniversary celebration. Acura was the first Japanese luxury-performance nameplate when it was launched in 1986, with cars engineered to challenge the leading European luxury brands of the day. This bold move by Honda, to form an entirely new upscale division, drew global interest by the media and other automakers.
Acura dealerships opened their doors on March 27, 1986 with two models, the Legend luxury sedan and Integra sports sedans. The Legend boasted a 2.5-liter 24-valve V-6 and featured a sophisticated suspension, elegant styling and an upscale interior. The Integra was available in 3-door or 5-door hatchback body styles and featured a 113-hp 1.6-liter 16-valve DOHC engine and spirited demeanor that put it at the head of the sporty car class. By its second year, Acura was the best-selling luxury-performance import nameplate in the United States.
Over the years, the Acura lineup continued to expand with the addition of the groundbreaking NSX exotic sports car. The NSX featured all-aluminum construction and the first application of VTEC(TM) variable valve timing and lift. Throughout the 90s, Acura solidified its position as a luxury and technological leader with the introduction of the 3.5 RL sedan, which featured the first satellite-linked navigation system, and the 2.2 CL coupe, the first luxury car from an import nameplate designed, engineered and assembled in the United States. In 2000, Acura introduced the MDX, which was named North American Truck of the Year and Motor Trend SUV of the Year.
Today, Acura boasts a world-class lineup of cars and light trucks, and continues to be a leader with innovative features such as Super Handling All-Wheel Drive, Bluetooth(R) wireless phone integration and DVD-Audio surround sound. Acura sales continue to climb, breaking sales records for the past three years and surpassing the 200,000 unit mark for the first time in 2005, making it Acura's best sales year in its history. This year, Acura will continue to expand its lineup with the addition of the RDX sport utility vehicle.

A nanoscale thermal anemometry probe (NSTAP) has been developed to measure velocity fluctuations at ultra-small scales. The sensing element is a free-standing platinum nanoscale wire, 100 nm × 2 μm × 60 μm, suspended between two current-carrying contacts and the sensor is an order of magnitude smaller than presently available commercial hot wires. The probe is constructed using standard semiconductor and MEMS manufacturing methods, which enables many probes to be manufactured simultaneously. Measurements were performed in grid-generated turbulence and compared to conventional hot-wire probes with a range of sensor lengths. The results demonstrate that the NSTAP behaves similarly to conventional hot-wire probes but with better spatial resolution and faster temporal response. The results are used to investigate spatial filtering effects, including the impact of spatial filtering on the probability density of velocity and velocity increment statistics.

This hotel is a standard Marriott. It's kind of a fun location but it's very touristy. For the price, I was expecting a lot more. If you do decide to stay here keep these things in mind: 1) Don't park your car there. It will cost a fortune. There are parking lots nearby that charge half as much. 2) Don't eat at the hotel restaurant. There are many wonderful places to eat in Seattle, this is not one of them. But there are some top-notch places within walking distance. 3) Do yourself a favor and get away from the waterfront for a few hours so you can see what Seattle is really like.
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Expedia, Booking.com, Hotels.com, Hotwire, Priceline, Orbitz, Marriott, TripOnline SA, Odigeo, Travelocity, getaroom.com and Cheap Tickets so you can book your Seattle Marriott Waterfront reservations with confidence.

NEW DELHI: India has sought help from Kuwait for reviving its fertiliser industry, plagued by supply constraints and lack of investments for capacity expansion.
"India seeks Kuwaiti participation in revival of Indian fertiliser industry," Commerce and Industry Minister Kamal Nath said in a meeting with Kuwait's Minister of Finance Mustafa Jassim Al-Shamali. The highly subsidised fertiliser industry has not been able to attract fresh investments, resulting in stagnating supplies. With demand for fertilisers on the rise, India depends on imports to meet its requirements.

Anderson Valley Fall Hornin'
The first thing I noticed about Anderson Valley Fall Hornin' is that it's quite a bit darker than most pumpkin beers. Bordering on brown, even. Aroma of cinnamon and clove, but not overpowering. Loads of cinnamon in the flavor. I even think there's a bit of cocoa in this. Not much in the way of pumpkin. Little kick of carbonation.
Pretty tasty. I could definitely see knocking back a few of these while watching football

Stone Smoked Porter with Chipotle
What's not to like? Stone, porter, smoke, chipotle. I'm hoping my expectations aren't too high with Stone Smoked Porter with Chipotle Peppers.
Visually, it's as expected. The aroma has more chipotle than smoke. That carries to the flavor, as well. This isn't a sneaky hit, it hits you immediately. However, it's not overpowering. After you get through the heat, there's smoke, char, even a bit of chocolate. Lips still tinge for a bit, too.
This is truly outstanding. Everything in the title is there, and with phenomenal balance. Love it.

T.W. Pitchers Snake Bite
I'm very excited to try T.W. Pitchers' Snake Bite. A mix of cider and lager, this is currently only available in the San Francisco area. So how did I get it in Ohio? They actually found my blog and asked if they could add me to their mailing list. I think some free beer is definitely worth that! They also sent a very cool press kit and coaster. Now, onto the beer!
Pours a dark, crisp yellow. Apple Cider dominates the aroma. Very interesting flavor. Even though it's a blend, it really tastes like two different drinks. The initial flavor is all apple cider, but the finish is all amber lager. There is none of the harsh after taste that some ciders can have.
Really tasty stuff. I'm glad they sent it to me! Now they just need to add it on Beer Advocate, Rate Beer, and the like.
Killer label, too.

Knee Deep McCarthy's Bane
When I see the word Imperial on a beer, I expect everything about it to be big. And since this is the first beer I have had from Knee Deep Brewing, McCarthy's Bane has high standards to meet. Pours with a relentless, frothy head. Color is on the reddish side of brown. Pine, resin, and caramel in the aroma. Spicy rye comes through followed with a big hit from the piney hops. (Side note, pour carefully!) Hops really linger in this. The flavor and bitterness stick around almost longer than the head does!
Big with nice balance, but seeing as how it's supposed to be 80 IBUs, I think I have an old bottle. Regardless, this is a very nice brew.

Anchor Porter
I don't know how I've never reviewed Anchor Porter before!
The San Francisco Brewery has been making this first modern American porter for 40 years. Color is black, as it should be, with a very fluffy beige head. The aroma is an inviting mix of chocolate, coffee, and roasted malt. Sweet malt comes through first in the flavor, with plenty of coffee and chocolate. Dry, oak finish.
Smooth texture, phenomenal balance and flavor, and at only 5.6% ABV, it's not heavy handed. It's beautifully crafted brews like this that make me love porters so much! Probably between this and Great Lakes Edmund Fitzgerald for the best American porter I've had.

Mission Blonde Ale
This is the first beer I've had from Mission out of San Diego, their Blonde Ale.
Pours remarkably clear and light. If not for the thicker white head, you might have trouble telling this from a macro lager just from the sight. The aroma is mostly grass and straw with some faint grape and peach in the background. Flavor isn't particularly strong, but the grass and straw flavors and fruity notes come through. Finishes a little dry.
I don't dislike this, but I don't know if I'd have it again. The flavor isn't bad, there just isn't much there.
Grade: C

Lagunitas Sucks
Their words, not mine. Also their words
Originally brewed in 2011 as a Brown Shugga' substitute, due to construction-induced capacity issues. But we liked it so much it had to make a return trip.
So here we have Lagunitas Sucks, a brew boasting a complex malt backbone and a whopping dose of hops to make it a double IPA.
Pours a bit lighter and crisper than expected. The frothy white head doesn't stick around for long. Hops completely dominate the aroma. Yeah, a double IPA for sure. Hop oils assault the palate. Grapefruit and pine, mostly. Hint of heat from the 7.8% ABV. Rye comes through a bit in the finish. But this is all about the hops. Surprisingly, it's only 65 IBUs. Thought this would push closer to 100.
Hop heads, get it!

North Coast Old Stock Ale 2012
I loved the 2010 version, so I'm hoping 2012 version of North Coast Old Stock Ale is also superb.
Trying the wine glass again, too. Color is a deep caramel. Aroma is full of butterscotch and yeast. Flavor is massive. Caramel, banana, clove, a jab of hops at the end and a very pleasing warmth from the considerable 11.7% ABV. Dangerously drinkable for its potency. The finish is similar to a merlot, but with hops.
It's fantastic. I know these are supposed to get better with age, but it's hard to imagine how.

Stone Double Bastard
Stone Double Bastard is for masochists. Even at an arm's length away, I can pick up on the obscene hops and substantial malt. It's just so big. Complex doesn't even begin to describe the flavor. Pine, toffee, coffee, citrus, toasted rye bread. And that's all before the hops make you pucker. As expected from Stone, the 11% ABV makes you sit up and notice, too.
Just go get one. Or several.

21st Amendment and Ninkasi Allies Win the War
A collaborative brew, this merger between 21st Amendment and Ninkasi is an English Stong Ale. Firmly between a Pale Ale and Barleywine. While it seems to be marketing more as a 21st Amendment brew, it's not on their website. But it is on Ninkasi's.
Color is an orange/brown, thin beige head. Malt is a bit on the sweet side with a big hit of hops. Nutty finish. Dates come through even more as it warms.
Busy and tasty. I'd be interested to see more collaborations between these two.

Sanofi-Genzyme Saga Becoming an Ego-Driven Slugfest
The Sanofi-Genzyme bid saga is becoming more of an ego-driven slugfest with every day; a worrying situation for investors given that grudge matches seldom bode well for value-creation in M&A.
Read our latest coverage here.
In a filing overnight biotech-maker Genzyme, in a response to Sanofi's hostile bid approach, opens the floodgates, disclosing what took place at a series of meetings and in various bits of communication between the two companies this summer, after Paris-based drugmaker Sanofi made its initial $69 per share approach.
Sanofi earlier this week sought to break a deadlock in its $18.5 billion approach, taking it directly to Genzyme's shareholders. Sanofi hasn't raised its offer above its starting $69 level and although it hasn't explicitly ruled out doing so, the failure to offer any bump in the offer indicates it doesn't think it needs to.
The gloves are certainly coming off: one of the central planks of Genzyme's defense, in an SEC filing called a 14D9 Thursday, is that Sanofi CEO Chris Viehbacher, in earlier discussions with Genzyme, specified that he was prepared to offer anything from $69 to $80 per share for the company.
If true, the claim appears to shoot a hole through the rationale of Sanofi's determination not to go above $69 per share, and gives investors a reason to trust that their board is right to hold out for more.
Sanofi, in its own statement Friday, refutes the claim, saying it "offered no price range and Genzyme refused to engage with us on valuation."
The fact these two companies are now effectively accusing one another of lying doesn't bode well for a speedy resolution of the issue and a clean, recommended offer.
Ultimately it remains in the interests of both companies for there to be a board recommendation.
Sanofi needs a degree of clarity on how effective Genzyme has been in resolving the manufacturing problems that have dogged its plant in Allston, Mass., before it can realistically calculate what kind of synergies it can generate through the acquisition. A hostile deal, meanwhile, will do little to persuade key executive and clinical talent to stick around at a merged Sanofi-Genzyme.
Reading the documents, it's easy to see why Viehbacher's tactics were perceived as aggressive by the Genzyme board. Having been firmly told that the Genzyme board believed the initial $69 offer undervalued the company, and in full knowledge that the share price has been depressed by the recent manufacturing issues, Viehbacher proceeded to come back shortly afterwards with an offer at the same price.
He later, according to the Genzyme document, sought to enlist Carl Icahn, the activist shareholder who is Genzyme's single largest holder–and someone with whom Genzyme CEO Henri Termeer has clashed in the past–to twist Termeer's arm to open the books.
Many analysts and investors apparently share Termeer's conviction that the deal is ultimately likely to close at a price higher than $69. They are optimistic that sales of rare disease drugs Cerezyme and Fabrazyme, which have dipped due to Genzyme's manufacturing problems, will be significantly boosted next year. As my colleague Jacob Plieth points out in a recent Source article, there is a good chance, based even on relatively conservative estimates, that Genzyme's share price could organically get past $69 in 2011.
The consensus is that a deal will eventually get done somewhere in the mid-70s, and with this expectation hanging in the air, there's little impetus for any Genzyme shareholder to tender now at $69.
But the big tactical problem Termeer faces over the longer term is that to have any real expectation of getting more cash on a recommended basis, he needs to show how he and the board are calculating this upside.
Genzyme is apparently gearing up to provide its investors with reams of financial information and data about the expectations for MS drug Campath, along with Cerezyme and Fabrazyme. But to have sufficient confidence that Genzyme's drugs pipeline is exciting enough to justify more than an extra $10 per share, Sanofi's board and investors will expect some due diligence.
Without some engagement, it's hard to see why Sanofi should put more money on the table. And engagement may be what it takes to salvage this increasingly ugly situation.

Sorry, Agent Smith. Sorry, Ray Kurzweil. Sorry, Steven Spielberg. Apparently artificial intelligence, the building of a mind out of software, just isn't going to happen. At least not any time soon.
From MIT's Technology Review:
I believe it is hugely unlikely, though not impossible, that a conscious mind will ever be built out of software. Even if it could be, the result (I will argue) would be fairly useless in itself. But an unconscious simulated intelligence certainly could be built out of software — and might be useful.
Unfortunately, AI, cognitive science, and philosophy of mind are nowhere near knowing how to build one. They are missing the most important fact about thought: the "cognitive continuum" that connects the seemingly unconnected puzzle pieces of thinking (for example analytical thought, common sense, analogical thought, free association, creativity, hallucination).
The cognitive continuum explains how all these reflect different values of one quantity or parameter that I will call "mental focus" or "concentration" — which changes over the course of a day and a lifetime.
So says Yale University computer scientist David Gelernter.
I'm beginning to think we're going to see flying cars (and we all know that's never going to happen) before we see artificial intelligence. It just seems that progress in this area has been glacial. Consider, for example, the slow development with Texas' own Cyc project.
So what the deal, anyway? Is the Yale guy right, and AI is virtually impossible, or are we going to wake up one day and find that our machines have come alive?

Political Perceptions: Blagojevich is Bad News for Obama
There's no indication that President-elect Barack Obama was involved in the Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich scandal, as U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald clearly stated, "But for politicians it's never good news when a top-notch prosecutor has to go out of his way to distance you from a front-page scandal. And indeed, there are enough connections between the worlds of Blagojevich and Obama that the whole thing has the potential to grow beyond a colorful Chicago tale of corruption to entangle members of the Presidential transition team, to test Obama's carefully cultivated reformist image and to distract the President-elect just as he is preparing to take office," writes Time.com's Massimo Calabresi.
For now the Obama team won't comment, "But in the coming days and weeks the campaign will have to address whether Blagojevich or any of his representatives actually talked to an Obama adviser or other emissary on the matter. The transition team will also, undoubtedly, try to distance Obama from a man whom he helped first elect back in 2002 and supported for reelection in 2006, as well as from a brand of corrupt Chicago politics that John McCain tried unsuccessfully to link him to during the presidential campaign."
