COMMENT FROM ALEX JONES: The headline, "Billy Corgan's strange infatuation with a conspiracy theorist", was a bit snot-nosed and pretentious, and you can bet wasn't written by the author. But other than that, it reads as overall factual and non-biased, for which I salute Salon, which in the past has been an engine of bullshit. I'm glad to see that Billy's wish to have a truly constructive conversation about the nature of reality is happening; we may have even reached someone at Salon. Thank the maker; thoughtcrime is spreading.
When Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is in Austin, Texas, he drops by the studios of America's favorite conspiracy theorist, Alex Jones. Corgan, who says he first encountered Jones' work six or seven years ago, has done at least three lengthy interviews with the radio host in the past 12 months alone, including an hour-long sit-down on Friday.
In that appearance, Corgan praised Jones' visionary work, but pressed him to get to the "next level" by adding a spiritual element to his narratives. "Infowars would benefit from a spiritual perspective, history has shown, whether it's Gandhi or Martin Luther King or Jesus," Corgan explained.
The musician added that Jones' much-discussed interview with Piers Morgan in January was "the greatest ever" because it showed "you've broken the trance." Jones said at the time that Corgan texted him immediately after the interview to write: "Alex you broke people's hypnosis, you couldn't have done a better job."
On Friday, Corgan said he likes to meet up with Jones for dinner or for an interview whenever he's in town, and said he's even written a song based on the radio host's works — the 10-minute-long "United States" off his 2007 album "Zeitgeist."
Corgan also praised Jones and other "citizen journalists" for presenting "stuff that doesn't get played on the nightly news," pointing to a recent video clip he saw of a testy exchange between Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Ted Cruz on gun control. "That's the kind of thing you would never see!" (In fact, the clip was widely played on cable news and discussed in the mainstream press.)
Turning to popular culture, Corgan criticized television for becoming "very anti-family." "Even if you don't believe in single conspiracy in the world, if you just watch television like I have for the past 40 years, you've seen a very negative bias against families … Men are emasculated on TV constantly," he said.
"Where does that come from?" he continued "Is there somebody predictively programming that? Is there an agenda behind that? Those are all serious questions to ask."
Throughout the discussion, he wove in references to "Star Wars," "The Matrix" and "1984." (Corgan's most recent album, "Oceania," borrows its name from the George Orwell classic.)
We tend to assume rock stars lean left, and while Corgan's views are hard to pin down, they are certainly not traditionally liberal. In a previous interview from March of 2012, when Corgan was in town for South by Southwest, he told Jones his views are "not necessarily one side or the other." He questioned the "global warming/climate change narrative," slammed "Obamacare," and said he disagreed with the redistribution message of the Occupy movement.
"Everything I've earned in life, I've made myself. With songs that I wrote. So when somebody starts talking about how I have to give to somebody that didn't do that, that's a deeper conversation," he said last year.
It's unclear if Corgan believes in Jones' conspiracy theories, though he does seem to agree with the radio host's worldview, at least abstractly, and referenced on Friday that there may be a globalist "cabal" working surreptitiously.
In his own interview with Piers Morgan in June of last year, Corgan said he's not a big fan of President Obama. "That's where I'm disappointed in the president, is he ran on a moral compass agenda. But, what happened? I'm sure there's lots of good reasons, and I'm sure they'll roll somebody out to counter thoughts like that. But I don't see it," Corgan said.

New Year's Dave: Solo, shopping, snagging awards
It was only a matter of time. Dave Matthews is going solo on tour, at least.
Matthews isn't digging a grave for his band, just dropping the "B" from DMB for a series of as-yet-unreleased 2003 tour dates.
But don't look for "DM" plucking his Taylor-made guitar at the small smoky venues some stars select for such outings. Matthews' management is auctioning off Dave's performances to colleges only, eBay-style, asking a rumored minimum bid of $50,000 for a solo show.
Clear Channel Entertainment (the nation's largest concert promoter) is offering at least 15 solo Matthews shows for March and April at college venues that hold at least 2,000 people.
This departure is likely largely Dave's doing, as Matthews seems to have been testing the solo waters recently with a slew of (mostly benefit) performances and an appearance on NBC's "Elvis Lives" tribute program, where he performed a rendition of Presley's "Stuck On You."
The shows will probably yield a live solo album, perhaps to the chagrin of his bandmates. Figures for tour revenues (including the band's brief jaunt this month) are among the highest in the country, so none of the group should be moaning about the year's receipts.
Planet Dave: More than a million DMB fans can't be wrong. The Dave Matthews Band was the #5 grossing concert attraction for 2002 with $60.1 million, even with their average ticket a relative bargain at just $39.84. The group was also the most popular in terms of number of tickets sold, with more than 1.5 million fans paying to see their 77 shows.
And the winner is... You won't find the socially conscious Dave Matthews Band following Sean Penn to Iraq (though Dave did join a campaign by celebrity opposition dubbed Artists United to Win Without War), but the charity-minded group has aligned itself with causes closer to home.
Last month the band received the 2002 Missions in Music Award from the Environmental Media Association for its "One Sweet Whirled" campaign, based on its collaboration with Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream and the eponymous flavor. Matthews performed "One Sweet World," "Where Are You Going?" and "Gravedigger" at the Los Angeles ceremony in late November.
The Grammies may have dissed The Dave in favor of U2 last year, but DMB are still darlings of contemporary music channel VH-1. For DMB, December meant trophy time at VH-1, in a re-vamped music awards show dubbed "Big in 2002" on December 4. DMB took home a live show performance award, "Taking It to the Stage," trampling such competition as Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen.
Shopping around: It's no secret in the cutthroat music business that DMB may be a huge success (and moneymaker) for its parent label, RCA, but the band has yet to crack a lucrative worldwide market. The band wrote off its 2001 European tour to post 9/11 turmoil. Matthews played a solo London gig (supported by a weak "Who's Dave Matthews?" campaign and an in-store performance at a Virgin Records mega store), but both DMB and RCA are twitching at the band's inability to "make it" outside the continental United States.
The finger-pointing has continued for years RCA does little to promote the band overseas; DMB has yet to produce a song that moves a fickle European audience. While the band remains committed to the company for two more albums, DMB management appears to be seeking a more aggressive label for both its own recordings and those of the artists signed to ATO Records, Matthews' boutique RCA imprint. Dangling its breakout success, David Gray, as the carrot, DMB management is reportedly seeking a $6 million, three-record deal for ATO, with the possibility of a contract buyout that would include DMB.
Chart action: The band's latest live album, recorded in the summer of 2001 in Boulder, Colorado, and released in early November, made a strong (if brief) debut on the Billboard charts in the top 10, but as of press time has taken a massive dive to No. 81. It's been certified as a gold record (500,000 sold). Meanwhile, Busted Stuff, while certified twice platinum, sits at No. 98 on the industry bible's top-100 chart.
Gorge yourself: As reported here and elsewhere, DMB's Gorge (Washington) September 6-8, 2002 performances can be seen on the cable satellite channel Music Choice in an hour-long special. No schedule has been set, but the Gorge shows are likely to be repeated on the network. Promotional spots for the show are said to be airing on VH-1, MTV, and the E! networks.

The news that LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton CEO Bernard Arnault, the richest man in France, filed last week for Belgian citizenship after President Francois Hollande announced a major tax on those with incomes over 1 million euros ($1.28 million) per year led to speculation that Arnault was taking the action to avoid the tax. In response, Hollande called for patriotism from Arnault, who, for his part, said that he would continue to pay French taxes.
Bloomberg reported Monday that after Hollande had announced a new, temporary 75% tax on the country's high earners, reports began to surface that he would dilute the measure. However, Hollande repeated his campaign pledge to launch the new tax, with no exceptions, and said it would begin in 2013.
In response to Arnault's request for Belgian citizenship, Hollande said in the report, "He should have reflected on what it means to ask for another nationality, because we are proud to be French. We have to call on patriotism at this time."
Other speculation in the press included Le Monde's opinion that Arnault was seeking Belgium's lower tax rate. A Huffington Post report had questioned whether the new measure could even lead to a mass exodus of the wealthy from France.
However, that does not appear to be the case with regard to Arnault. The fourth richest man in the world, according to Forbes, Arnault said in the report, "I am and will remain a tax resident in France and in this regard I will, like all French people, fulfill my fiscal obligations." He was quoted saying, "Our country must be able to count on everyone's contribution to face the deep economic crisis."
The Globe and Mail reported that a source close to Arnault said the move was prompted by a business deal and was connected to a "sensitive" investment project that could be easier to execute if Arnault held Belgian citizenship. Arnault himself said the move was a "personal action" that he undertook several months ago. "It must not be interpreted politically," he added in the report.

Our faculty, clinicians, and researchers have been recognized nationally, ranking in the top 50 for GI and GI surgery by U.S.News and World Report in the 2017-2018 Best Hospital Rankings.
We at Penn State Health believe that IBD patients have unique and specialized needs. This demands a multi-specialty approach to provide the best care for this disease. Accordingly, we have organized and staffed our Penn State IBD Center with dedicated IBD medical experts from multiple specialties, all highly-trained and well experienced in the treatment of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.

If x-rays, blood work, enterstomal therapy, dermatology, or other ancillary services are required during a patient visit, these services and medical professionals are all located within our IBD clinic site.
Long history of research
Our IBD team leads the nation with our long-standing commitment to cutting-edge IBD research, including the establishment of the nation's largest IBD BioBank and registry of IBD patients including DNA, blood, and tissue samples from multiple generations of IBD patients.
In addition, we have pioneered research in the field of personalized medicine, and have completed over 50 research studies and published over 100 nationally recognized IBD-specific research papers.
Highest quality patient experience
The Penn State IBD Center offers the services of a dedicated personalized IBD nurse navigator whose primary responsibility is to navigate our patients through our health system in an optimal and efficient manner.

Our IBD Center provides extensive community outreach and education programs, including IBD patient symposiums and multiple ongoing patient support groups that meet monthly.
We've partnered with Crohn's Colitis Foundation of America (CCFA) to raise public awareness of IBD by sponsoring CCFA "Take Steps" walks throughout Pennsylvania, as well as performing newsletter and website collaboration.
Specialized pediatric IBD experts and services
We offer specialized care for pediatric IBD patients, including a pediatric transition clinic for pediatric patients about to transition to adult IBD care. We also participate in national pediatric IBD quality improvement initiatives, including ImproveCareNow and PROKIIDS.
Internationally recognized IBD experts
Our doctors and surgeons are all leaders in the field of inflammatory bowel disease, having been awarded top honors including Castle Connolly's list of America's Top Doctors.

At a large annual auction last weekend, a single 489-pound bluefin tuna sold for a record $1.76 million dollars. That's a whale of a price for a single fish. Conservationists say the demand and rising price for bluefin tuna is decimating the fish's numbers around the world. Here with more on the plight of the bluefin tuna is Richard Ellis, author of the book "Tuna: A Love Story."
Interview Highlights:
Why did this fish sell for such a huge amount of money?
"It has to do with a particular sushi restaurant spending that much money purely for publicity purposes. It has nothing to do with anything about eating the fish and ultimately a price like that turns out to be very bad for the tuna populations of the world. It's sort of for prestige, it's like buying a $40 million Picasso or a $100 million house in Beverly Hills. The difference is you don't have to kill anything to buy a Picasso or a $100 million house…You have to kill a fish to do this and that's unfortunate."
How did Bluefin Tuna get so popular?
"It became popular after the second World War when refrigeration and refrigeration ships were introduced into Japan. Prior to that you couldn't do anything with a fish, you could pickle it, you could smoke it, and you could dry it but you couldn't save then in any way. When refrigeration was introduced, they would catch tuna by the tens of thousands, stow them down in the hold under ice, then bring them back and store them in refrigerators. It was the Japanese shortly after the war that in Japan that sushi restaurants became popular all over the world."
How did Bluefin Tuna get so popular?
"There's something called ICAT (International Convention of Atlantic Tuna) convention and it is supposed to pass rules and quotas for how much tuna various countries are allowed to catch, but the problem with it is no one pays attention to those rules because they're not enforceable. Nobody has an armed fleet that's patrolling the ocean's of the world saying that's too much tuna on your boat we have to arrest you,' so they go beyond their quotas, they catch as much as they want and they sell it all to Japan. As they do this and as the prices go up in Japan, they fish more intensively because you can make more money. There is no set rate and this million-dollar fish is most unusual, the previous record of last year was $767,000. The price will go up next year will buy a fish for $2.5 million."
What can consumers do?
"You could tell your sushi chef that it's awful to eat bluefin tuna and you'd rather eat fluke, you'd rather eat octopus, you'd rather eat yellowfin tuna…If enough people were to tell that chef he wouldn't order bluefin tuna because no one would eat it. Aside from that here's very little else one can do…In many cases what is advertised as bluefin tuna isn't, it's yellowfin tuna."
What about farm-raising bluefin tuna?
"It would be a viable answer if it worked. I was in South Australia a couple of years ago looking at the attempt to farm bluefin tuna…A company would catch large tuna, keep them in pens in a special climate controlled building…trying to replicate the area where wild tuna spawned and they got the tuna to mate and spawn, and they raised them up to about a foot long and they all died. To the best of my knowledge…they have not succeeded, so the pressure is still on wild caught tuna."

MANILA - The Philippines evacuated coastal areas and put emergency workers on alert on Wednesday as a storm expected to grow into a super typhoon headed towards central islands still recovering from a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit last month.
Typhoon Haiyan, with gusts of up to 185 kph (115 mph), was moving over the sea at 30 kph (18 mph) and may make landfall at mid-day on Friday in the central islands of Samar and Leyte, said Science and Technology Secretary Mario Montejo.
"We are advising the people to secure their homes because we are expecting a powerful typhoon, a super typhoon," Montejo said.
"It's still in the Pacific but it has gained speed and may enter our area of responsibility by tomorrow (Thursday)." Officials in the central Cebu, Bohol and Albay areas have closed schools, prepared emergency shelters and food and put emergency workers on alert.
"We're aiming for zero casualties so we sent advisories to local disaster agencies to start evacuating people from coastal and low-lying areas as well as those in landslide-prone areas,"said Flor Gaviola, a regional disaster official.
Thousands of people on Bohol island are still in shelters after their homes were destroyed in an Oct. 15 earthquake that killed more than 200 people.
About 20 typhoons hit the Philippines every year.
Typhoon Bopha, the strongest storm to hit last year, flattened three coastal towns on the southern island of Mindanao, killing 1,100 people, and destroyed crops, property and infrastructure worth $1.04 billion.

Adam took the Cup to Cornwall, where he was born and raised, stopping for a photo in front of the sign that sits on the town's outskirts.
The first arena at which Adam played is now the North River Market Place, a flea market, but it was important for him to go back to his roots and get a photo with the Cup at the location where he spent so many hours learning the game.
McQuaid then did a circuit of all of his various Cornwall schools, including Westwood Primary School, Eliot River Elementary, East Wiltshire Intermediate and Bluefield High School, which he attended before moving to Sudbury, Ontario to play junior. In between these educational visits, Adam took the time to get photos taken with the Stanley Cup in a potato field, exhibiting his pride for the Island's best-known export.
The family gathered for a photograph at Adam's grandmother's home, and then they boarded a limo bus to participate in a parade through Cornwall in McQuaid's honour. Now, Adam was most generous in sharing his victory with as many people as he could during his day, but there was one person he did not want to infringe on his day, and that was Irene. Hurricane Irene, to be precise. The threat of a massive, disrupting storm was looming, and yet, it didn't stop thousands of fans from lining the streets of Cornwall to cheer on the hometown hero. Wearing a Bruins sweater as he hoisted the Stanley Cup, Adam and members of his family climbed onto a large amphibious vehicle for the celebration parade. Firetrucks carrying minor hockey players also joined the parade route.
The parade concluded at the APM Centre, where painted into the ice was 'HOME OF ADAM McQUAID, 2011 STANLEY CUP CHAMPION.'
On the stage of a nearby fairground, with some 15,000 fans cheering boisterously, Adam McQuaid was honoured by Premier Robert Ghiz and Mayor Barney Fullerton. McQuaid was presented with the key to the town and August 28, 2011 was pronounced 'Adam McQuaid Day' in Cornwall.
Inside the arena, a special cabinet featuring a sweater, stick and plaque honouring Adam's accomplishments was unveiled and will go on permanent display in the rink.
A quick stop at home preceded a very special blessing at a local church, a visit to a seniors' centre and then photos at Dynamic Fitness, where Adam works out.
The Stanley Cup party that evening was held at a seaport banquet hack in historic Charlottetown, the province's capital. 450 guests partied with Adam while country star Chad Brownlee, a former draft pick of the Vancouver Canucks, entertained.
The evening ended in a building by the airport, where 40 friends consumed pizza and vegetable trays as they spent the last moments with the Stanley Cup.
Brad's first stop was at the home of his grandparents, where he ate an entire box of Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal out of the bowl of the Stanley Cup.
After the Cup was washed thoroughly, Marchand visited the IWK Health Centre Hospital to visit patients, their family and staff. Brad spent a great deal of time in the pediatric ward, cheering up the children.
A civic parade took Brad past the historic Halifax Citadel to City Hall. Mayor Peter Kelly announced that August 29, 2011 was 'Brad Marchand Day' in Halifax.
After a quick spin for Brad and the Cup in a magnificent Viper, it was time for the celebration party, this one held at the Lord Nelson Hotel in Halifax. Brad and his siblings Melissa, Rebecca and Jeff, along with their parents Kevin and Lynn, hosted a party for 400, with great food, great beverages and the Stanley Cup in their midst.
The Boys and Girls Club of St. John's was the first stop in the provincial capital. Ryder is having a new condominium built in the city and while it's not yet ready to move into, Michael insisted on having photos taken in his new home.
Just before lunch, Michael met with Premier Kathy Dunderdale as part of a send-off from St. John's on the way to Bonavista. In an official rooftop ceremony at 95 Water Street, the Stanley Cup was placed on a table, but one leg hadn't been properly secured and the table and trophy both went over, leaving a crease in the bowl of the Cup. Fortunately, the dent was readily knocked out and damage to the historic trophy was negligible.
Premier Dunderdale, Ryder and the Stanley Cup boarded a 3D Helicopter and made the trip from St. John's to Bonavista. Now, you may think that the Stanley Cup is old�and it is. Born in 1892, it is now 119 years old. But Bonavista is where modern North America began when it was where John Cabot (actually, his name was Giovanni Caboto, but he was sailing under the British flag for King Henry VII) landed in 1497 after two months at sea.
The helicopter carrying Michael Ryder and the Stanley Cup landed in Bonavista just after 12:30, settling to earth at RCMP headquarters while cheering crowds gathered around Cabot Stadium.
Following the parade, Michael took the Stanley Cup to a nearby cemetery, spending a few moments in solitude at the grave of his grandfather.
There was a viewing at Cabot Stadium for players in the Bonavista-Trinity Minor Hockey Association, as well as coaches and parents. The youngsters lined up by team around the perimeter of the rink and Michael visited each one in turn.
At 2:30, Bonavista Mayor Betty Fitzgerald welcomed Ryder back home. Guest speakers toasted the Bruins' champion on the ball diamond behind Cabot Stadium. Then, for four hours, it was a public celebration, with fans getting the opportunity to see the Stanley Cup and snap a photograph with Michael.
It had been a long, exhausting day, and Michael brought his day with the Stanley Cup to a close with a party at his parents' home. Guests feasted on crab legs, shrimp, salmon and hamburgers, while a rowboat filled with ice and beer quenched some powerful thirsts.
On Tuesday, the Boston Bruins' summer of celebration continues, chronicled exclusively in the Stanley Cup Journal.

If "Gil-Galad" were written "Gilgalad,' it would be pronounced "GILgalad,"with the accent on the first syllable."
For aomost fifty years, though, I have been prounouncing the name "Gil-GALad" - assuming subconsciously that the hyphen & the capitalization of the second element of the name means that "Galad" is to be treated as a disyllable.
Is there any evidence on this, one way or another? Any other Elvish names with hyphens?

Witness in Mattapan slayings case sentenced
Kimani Washington gets up to 18 years in prison
The key prosecution witness in the trials of two men charged with killing a toddler and three adults during a drug robbery in Boston in September 2010 has been sentenced to up to 18 years in prison for his role in the crime.
Kimani Washington on Friday apologized to the victim's families before pleading guilty to robbery, carjacking, home invasion, and possession with intent to distribute drugs.
Washington admitted participating in the robbery, but said he left the scene before the shootings that left four dead and a fifth victim paralyzed in the city's Mattapan neighborhood.
Washington reached a deal with prosecutors to testify against the other suspects in exchange for a reduced sentence.
Edward Washington, Kimani Washington's cousin, was acquitted. Dwayne Moore was convicted of murder at his second trial.

This land is UR land
The Asahi Shimbun recently reported that the government finished auditing its accounts for fiscal 2011. The board that conducted the investigation found 513 separate cases of "waste" comprising ¥529.16 billion, the largest amount since records have been compiled. In the wake of media reports that have government organs inappropriately using tax money earmarked for reconstruction of the disaster-hit Tohoku region, it is natural to assume that this waste would be doubly scrutinized, but we won't hold our breath. One of the areas that will probably invite less concern is assets held by dokuritsu gyosei hojin–independent administrative agencies–that remain unused. In 2010, the cabinet issued a directive that such assets should be returned to the government, but apparently that's not happening as the auditors found lots of unused assets lying around–literally, in many cases, since the assets that seem to be the most problematic are real estate-related. The National Hospital Organization, for instance, owns 217,000 square meters of land valued at ¥6.7 billion that remains undeveloped and with no plans for development. According to the cabinet directive this land should be handed over to the national government.
Another independent administrative agency with lots of unused assets is Toshi Saisei Kiko, more popularly known as UR (Urban Renaissance), the semi-public housing corporation that the government would like to make completely private because it's such a sinkhole for money. Since UR's business is the sale, development, and management of real estate, its unused asset problem is also a business problem, and the auditors found that the company controlled 223 hectares of land valued at ¥89.7 billion that was unused, which many not sound like much, but apparently the audit board was only talking about assets that were supposed to be "processed" during FY2011. As almost everyone knows, UR has lots and lots of land that remains undeveloped, and since all of UR's debts are covered by the government the auditors insist that UR can cover at least some of its deficits by liquidating land assets.

The key to the smartest way to advertise
Feb 21, 2013, 16:46 ET
Keyframe Media is using new Internet technology to help clients unlock the power of targeted online video advertising.
LONDON, ON, Feb. 21, 2013 /CNW/ - Keyframe Media announced today that utilizing new Internet technology to target online video advertising to customers is delivering proven results.
Keyframe Media is a division of Keyframe Communications Inc., a full-service agency that last year began offering the targeted online ad service as another tool in integrated campaigns.
"We now have the experience and expertise to effectively deliver your online message with a strategically targeted campaign, while still offering everything you expect from a traditional full-service agency," said Keyframe executive producer Bryan Peel.
"Here's something you can take to the bank - your customers are on the Internet. You can bet that they're also on YouTube. Finding them on your own is not such a sure thing. Even if you could, would you know what to say to them, and how to say it, once you found them? That's where Keyframe can help."
As prices to advertise in the traditional media continue to rise at the same time as viewership declines, online video advertising can be a great tool for companies looking for a cost-effective way to reach their target audience.
Online video advertising combines the power of YouTube, and Google's database of user demographics, to target the ideal consumer. Once targeted, your ad is presented to the viewer before they watch the YouTube video. Better yet, you only pay for an ad when someone chooses to view your commercial. When starting a campaign, Keyframe can target your audience nationally, or down to a specific neighbourhood where your customers live. During the campaign, we closely monitor the initial results and make refinements to lower the cost-per-view, increase audience retention and get the maximum results for your campaign.
Simply put, it's the smartest way to advertise.
Keyframe client Austin & Taylor home furnishings reported a sales boost of 66 per cent for the three months their campaign was active.
"Judge it from your own experience," Peel said. "Look around. You know people are spending more time on the Internet while other media platforms are losing market share by the day. You know video is the most effective means of advertising because it immerses the viewer in sight, sound and story.
"Why wouldn't you harness the power of both to ensure your customers see your message?"

The Rails Rumble is an annual programming competition where teams of up to four people will have 48 hours to build an innovative web application in Ruby on Rails. Once the build portion of the competition is over, a two-phase judging process selects the winning entries in several categories. In the first judging phase, a selected panel of experts reviews all qualifying applications to determine the top tier. Once they're finished and the top applications identified, the public judging period begins. The categories of winners include: Grand Prize, Second Prize, Third Prize, Solo, Appearance and User Interface, Originality and Innovation, Usefulness, and Completeness. Thanks to Nick Plante, Darcy Laycock, Erin Shine, and Jeff Rafter who organized this year's event.
Appearance and User Interface Winners
The 2009 Rails Rumble prize for best Appearance and User Interface goes to the Lowdown application, developed by Sean Cribbs, Paul du Coudray, Wes Garrison, and Scotty Moon.
Sean, can you tell us a bit about Lowdown.
In April 2009, Paul and I started working very intensely with Cucumber, which is a tool written in Ruby for creating feature descriptions and automated acceptance tests that are expressed as business-friendly "user stories". Cucumber encourages you to focus on features that always deliver business value, whether it be increasing revenue, protecting revenue, or managing costs. Our immediate reaction to the process was that it became clearer how to communicate features between each other and our clients, while still having something that directly relates to the code in the application; that is, your feature stories become living functional specifications. The downside was, it was hard initially to get the client to:
- See the value of writing feature stories
- Get involved in writing feature stories
- Understand the cost of implementing a story
Lowdown was created to help with these problems. It provides a hand-holding interface for writing, estimating and prioritizing user stories. We envision Lowdown becoming the "software design watercooler" where the stakeholders -- clients, project managers, designers, developers -- discuss the needs of the software, how they affect business value, and what their costs will be. While the focus is on writing user stories, we feel that prominently displaying the cost estimate of each feature encourages the client to focus on the features that are most important to them and deliver the best value, while sidelining "nice-to-have" or "personal-mission" features of lesser value. People tend to get more serious when money is involved.
What tools did you use to build it?
We used Ruby on Rails, Cucumber, Authlogic (an authentication plugin), OpenID, and a number of other Ruby libraries for the application part. Supporting the user interface were Haml, Sass, Compass, and jQuery. We deployed on Ubuntu 9.04 with Apache, Phusion Passenger and MySQL for the database.
What was the hard part in building Lowdown?
Obviously, the time constraint was a problem, so I think the hardest part was excluding features that we really wanted to see in the application. Our team was also spread across three time zones and had differing weekend obligations, so coordination of work was challenging. Also, I'm personally pretty fanatical about test-driven development, so giving up the comfortable assurances TDD gives you for 48 hours was difficult.
What would you have done different?
Overall, we're very happy with the outcome and wouldn't change much. We could have spent more time planning the application. We definitely could have had better promotional and support material -- especially producing a really smart screencast. I might also have incorporated some TDD for the hyper-critical code, like authentication and signup, where we had some of our more egregious bugs.
What's next with Lowdown? Any changes coming?
We'll be relaunching Lowdown within the next few weeks as a subscription-based SaaS. It'll only cost you -- very modestly -- if you want to create projects; collaborators will be free. We'll likely offer it free to open-source projects soon thereafter.
We've got a huge number of improvements in the queue, including some of the best features that we had to leave out of the application for the Rumble. In our relaunch, we intend to support exporting or downloading projects in zip files (our most-requested feature) drag-and-drop reordering scenarios and steps within a feature, "read-only" projectviews, and huge number of bugfixes. Down the road, we want to add integration with other project management tools like Basecamp andPivotal Tracker and create some awesome developer tools.
A big part of our mission will be advocacy and education for the story-driven process and Lowdown as a tool within that process. We realize that developers are quick to pick up new tools for improving their workflow, but the "suits" are less exposed to new tools in their daily work. We have a lot of ideas for how to tackle this problem, but it will surely involve lots of blog posts, screencasts, and enhancements to Lowdown that help the newbie get started. We think this could be really big for the business of software development. We're big believers in "dogfooding", so we're using Lowdown to plan features for Lowdown!

|Meet the newest member of the Dolphin Research Center family, Summer.
Dolphin Research Center is excited to announce that we will soon be joined by a new family member! In July, a baby female Atlantic spotted dolphin (Stenella frontalis) was found weak and malnourished on the shore of Reddington Beach, FL. She was rescued and rehabilitated back to health at Clearwater Marine Aquarium. (You may know of them from their care of Winter and Hope, whose stories were told in the movies Dolphin Tale and Dolphin Tale 2) Because of her young age, without a family group, the little girl was deemed non-releasable by the federal government and we were chosen as her new, forever home. We have named her Summer because of when she stranded and in connection to Winter. She will arrive early in 2015 and we are working closely with her caregivers in Clearwater to prepare her for a smooth transition. DRC has a long tradition of providing homes for marine mammals in need and are happy to take on the challenges and costs associated in transporting Summer and providing her, and all of our family, with the finest care. If you would like to help us with this endeavor, please click here to donate. Please type Summer in the comments. We'll keep you posted on her progress and let you know when she arrives. Thank you, always, for your support!
|Summer was named because of the time of year that she stranded, Summer, and in connection to Winter.

By Stephen J. Kotz
The director of Stony Brook Southampton's MFA Program in Creative Writing talks about this summer's upcoming Writers Conference, the deadline for which to enroll is Tuesday, April 1.
Can you give us an overview about what the Writers Conference is?
It is an intensive experience that centers on taking part in a writing workshop. When you apply you are applying for a specific workshop. And we offer them in poetry, fiction, memoir writing, playwriting. The workshop meets five times for two and half to three hours per day. The rest of your day you will take part in embarrassing and enriching readings, panels, performances, talks. It's nonstop and we'll have some really impressive authors coming in.
The whole vibe is beach. You won't have much time to actually go to it—maybe you'll get a chance to slip away one afternoon and stick your toe in the water. People work extremely hard, but it has a relaxed feel; it's very soul enriching to be among 120 to 150 other writers. Plus, the dorms are available, so it's cheapest 12 days you'll ever get in the Hamptons.
Are there any new or special faculty members this year?
One of the great things about this is we're in the Hamptons. From the faculty members' view, it's a paid vacation. This year we were able to get Terrance Hayes, a fantastic poet, very laid back, but also a genius. Julia Glass is a terrific novelist. Libba Bray writes young adult novels. It was a coup to get her. She's a big deal in the YA field. Two other new faces are Peter Lerangis, who also writes young adult fiction, Dan Yaccarino, who is known for his picture books and illustrations. A new face in playwriting is David Adjmi.
Then we have faculty who come every year: Billy Collins, Meg Wolitzer, Roger Rosenblatt, Matthew Klam, Patricia Marx, who collaborates with Roz Chast, The New Yorker cartoonist, on children's books, Frederick Tuten, a novelist and short story writer who also writes art criticism, and Annette Handley Chandler, who teaches screenwriting.
What's new this year?
There's an introductory writers workshop that will be taught by an MFA student. It will be a chance to try your hand at range of genres. You can sign up and come and enjoy a writing workshop and not have any of the stress that come with the more intensive offerings.
I think there's something about signing up that just sort of commands your muse. There is something about the mental act of signing up. You might not write anything beforehand, but when you get into that small group of 12 to 15 people, you get your work done.
There is a 12-day conference, from July 9 to 20, and a five-day "intensive" conference from July 9 to 13. Why do you do that?
We started doing that a couple of years ago. For some people finding 12 days, where you essentially have to take two weeks off from whatever you are doing, is difficult. We just found the five-day version of events would allow people to come who just can't take that much time out of their lives.
What does having this program do for the community and what does the community do for this program?
We try to make sure we keep our ties to the community strong. We have regular reading series on Wednesday and Thursday nights. Masha Gessen, who just wrote the book on Pussy Riot and blogs on events in Russia is coming this Wednesday, April 2 [at 7 p.m. in the Radio Lounge, as part of the Writers Speak series.] We want there to be a constant interchange between us and the community.
In turn the community is a great resource for us. There is a great community out here of writers, artists, filmmakers, playwrights, and actors. That's where our guest list comes from. They have really enriched our students' lives.

How to: Give a Gaudy Glitter Reindeer a Classy Papier-Mache Makeover
'Twas a few weeks before Christmas 2011, when I discovered the might glory of the craft store glitter reindeer. I had so much fun hacking these glam-covered beasts into something a little less insane, that I wanted to rescue this elegant species from their harsh coats of coarse, uneven glitz again this year. Last year, I came up with a trick for removing the factory glitter and replacing it with something more refined. This year, I wanted to improve on the technique and give him a full-on handmade look by changing the "realistic" fur texture and face structure, etc.
Tools and Materials
- Plastic reindeer [I got mine at Hobby Lobby, but I've seen similar pieces at other craft and discount stores. If you shop wisely, you can buy one when all the holiday stuff is 50% off]
- Soap and water, and a sink or large bucket
- Spray paint or primer
- Old book pages cut into 1" strips
- Mod Podge or white glue (Matte finish recommended)
- Acrylic paint (optional)
Step One: This year's project begins the same as last, with a few hours soak in a bucket filled with soapy water. Then, by using your thumbs and fingers, you can just push the water-based glue off in sheets:
Here he is, all bare and ready for his makeover:
All proud and pink-antlered. What a sight....
Step Two: Give your reindeer a base coat of white paint, just so you don't have to worry about the color peeking through later. Grab an old book at the thrift store or secondhand shop. I live pretty close to a certain chain of half-priced books, and I just look in their recycling dumpsters out back, and I find useable stuff 95% of the time. Cut out the pages with a utility knife, then slice the text blocks (not the margins) into 1" tall strips.
Step Three: Dip the strips in Mod Podge or a mixture of 1:1 white glue to water. Begin by wrapping the legs and random parts of the torso. Don't line everything up too carefully, or it'll look a little too...stripey. I guess since I'm attaching paper to an existing form, this is really découpage rather than Papier-mâché, but you get the idea.
Step Four: Continue until the entire guy is covered. Rip the strips into pieces to cover small sections like the antlers, ears, and face.
Step Five: At this point, you could be finished, but I felt like the straight-up pages were a little too..."country general store," especially with the glossy Mod Podge. (They make it in matte, which I recommend and wish I'd used.) So, I mixed some white paint with the Mod Podge (or you could use an acrylic medium) and gave the whole thing a single, semi-transparent coat that still allows the text to show through and highlights the paper mache texture. And...
Here he is in his home for the season. The finished project has a cool hand crafted, recycled look that could actually work in most homes all year long. I may even leave him out myself, or at least store him somewhere accessible where I could bust him out for photo shoots and vignettes.
If you wanted, you could use newspaper and just paint the whole thing a flat white for a super bright and clean look. Or leave the paper fully exposed. This kind of project translates well to any sort of finish and aesthetic, so get creative.
Season's Greetings!

Aragon Online
Aragon Online is an interactive, empire-building medieval fantasy game that blends economics, diplomacy, trade, role-playing and tactical battles into a strategic multiplayer online experience unlike any other out there. It is a world of PCs and NPCs, potentially dangerous or advantageous politically, economically and militarily. Player interaction can be adversarial or cooperative.
The war-game battle system has standard battle elements and fantasy-style magic. The system emphasizes combined-arms battles, and will appeal to serious fantasy (war) gamers.
The player character takes the role of the ruler of a small village in a vast world. There are 6 player races (Human, Elf, Dwarf, Orc, Goblin, Ogre) and 5 classes (Warrior, Knight, Ranger, Priest and Mage) that the player can choose to be. He starts out with a follower character (henchman) and a small army of 75 soldiers chosen from 5 unit types (Infantry, Mtd. Infantry, Cavalry, Bowmen, Mtd. Bowmen). Each of the cities vies with the others to attempt to increase their power and influence in the world through Diplomacy, Intrigue and Battle.
The role-playing aspects of the game are implemented with a script system that presents messages to the player, and sometimes presents him with choices that will lead to other messages and consequences good or bad, depending on many possible factors.
Aragon Online was conceived in 2003, and has been in active development for the past 8 years. It is now open for a public beta-test.
New Game
In order to play Aragon Online, you must be a registered user of the Aragon Online forums. You will be redirected to the forums to register if you are not logged on, or if you are a new user.
Once registered, on your first visit to Aragon Online, you will be redirected to the New Game creation screen. The screen displays the World Map, with navigation controls to move around the World Map. You may establish your new City anywhere on this map, except in water hexes, or where there is already another city or special location.
The developers of Aragon Online hope you enjoy this unique game, and wish you the best of luck in your adventures!
Player Name, Race and Class
In the input fields and drop-downs on this page you will name your character, select a gender, race and class, and name your starting city.
Player Heraldry
Select a color and shield that will define how your units look. The heraldry selection you make can lead to some special adventures specific to that choice later in the game.

It is Beaujolais which marks the southern-most wine-producing part of Burgundy although the wines are not allowed to be called Burgundy on the label. The Gamay grape, long since banned from the Côte-d'Or as an inferior variety, achieves its most satisfying expression on the granite-based soils of Beaujolais. The Beaujolais viticultural area is situated in a large area thirty four miles long to the south of Macon and north west of Lyon, the most northerly half a hilly area consisting of granite sub-soils overlain with sand and limestone and which are essentially the same as those of the fabled Côte-Rôtie sixty miles to the south in the Northern Rhône. Bas Beaujolais, south of Villefranche on the flatter land, consists of clay soils on a bed of granite and limestone. This southern sub-region grows basic AOC Beaujolais which, at its best, is fairly straightforward quaffing wine.
In the late 1970s and 1980s the quality of the red wines of this region was compromised by the promotional conceit of Beaujolais Nouveau, a marketing ploy to launch a fresh and fruity wine on the third Thursday of November following the harvest. Part of the promotional activity was a "race" to land the first case of wine in the wine bars of London. While this wine was made for very early drinking rather than cellaring the commercial opportunities and pressures led to increasing quantities of, frankly, insipid and sub-standard wine which served to tarnish the reputation of all Beaujolais wines.
Better in quality than the basic AOC Beaujolais is Beaujolais Villages made from the grapes of 39 villages with better soils and aspects in the north of the region. Individual growers' wines may state the name of the village where the grapes were grown but much is sold simply as Beaujolais Villages. A large proportion of the wine produced here is produced using the technique known as carbonic maceration in which whole grapes (berries) are left to ferment in sealed vats. This method makes wines that are fresh, fruity and low in tannin and malic acid. In recent years some more quality conscious growers, such as Jean-Paul Brun, are using the traditional Burgundian methods which involve the use of oak and which produce wines that can benefit from ageing in bottle.
The best wines are the ten "crus Beaujolais" which can be very good and often repay some careful ageing and which display a complexity which would greatly surprise someone who had only ever drunk Beaujolais Nouveau. Due to the process of erosion the top-soils and gradients can vary markedly within vineyards here making wines which have readily identifiable differences in character. Moulin-à-Vent, Morgon and Côte de Brouilly are probably the best of these crus. Very small amounts of Beajolais Blanc are also made from the Chardonnay grape sometimes with the addition of a little Aligoté.
Jean-Paul Brun, Beaujolais à l'Ancien, 2010

Nicolas Potel, Fleurie, 2009
This Fleurie, 2009, is a light red and is an excellent example of the terroir expression resulting from the joint project of Potel-Aviron's Beaujolais wines. With dark notes of cherry and blackberry with hints of pepper and vanilla on the nose and a finish which David Schildknecht of The Wine Advocate described as "forceful, invigorating, and saliva-inducing" this is a Fleurie from the top drawer.

That link I posted entirely factual, from start to finish: it's a tabulation of constituencies, voting figures and results where Trump's interventions in matters of candidate selection and promotion went catastrophically wrong and cost the GOP very dearly indeed.
Given that Trump was trying to spin the Tuesday mid-term results as some sort of wonderful "victory", I think it's more important than ever to highlight his incompetence and stupidity in such matters, and to do so with factual references of that type
What's your problem ? Have you become allergic to factual based discussion? Or do you just dislike incisive and intelligent journalism by women like Rachel Maddow ?
toucana » Thu Nov 08, 2018 12:45 pm wrote:For the life of me I do not see how providing a factually based counter-narrative to Trump's delusional twaddle amounts to "feeding political polarity".
The current political divisions within USA exist independently of any attempts by commentators to describe or influence them. "Tell the truth and shame the devil" is a very good maxim to follow in times like these.
To claim that "Her attitude is no better than Trump's" is ridiculous. That's a false relativism with no basis in reality. Donald Trump is a serial liar and serial fraudster who thinks that businesses should be run like those of Mafia crime families, and that countries should be run like TV game shows, with a dramatic and thunderous "You're fired " at the end of every episode.
Trump is a moral imbecile. Rachel Maddow I would suggest, is anything but.

That is an enormous and historic victory, and one which will hopefully restore some measure of proper political oversight in Congress as of January 2019.

Minnesota Senate Passes Bills to Ease Shutdown Pain
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - The Minnesota Senate has passed bills that would keep state parks open and the State Lottery operating in future state government shutdowns.
The bills passed Thursday on largely party-line votes with Republicans in favor and Democrats opposed. Republican Sen. Al DeKruif sponsored the bills in response to last year's three-week state shutdown that closed parks and shuttered the lottery among other disruptions.
Republicans say Minnesotans who enjoy those services should not suffer. Democrats say that exempting noticeable state operations from the consequences of a shutdown would drain the incentive of future lawmakers and governors to compromise on a state budget.
The House versions of DeKruif's bill have not moved past committee hearings. Gov. Mark Dayton's budget chief says the governor prefers a more comprehensive approach to avoiding future shutdowns.

Well I guess I really am getting older… I nearly forgot that today is my birthday! I'm six years old!
It's so nice to wake up on Nocturne on my special day! I'm very happy. I'm not going to have a big party today because it doesn't feel right without my brother Blue, so April and I decided we'll wait for him to have a party. I'm just going to enjoy a nice relaxing day sailing!
I hope you're all having a PAWESOME weekend too!
Bisous, Bailey

"I walk outside... sun shining, breeze wafting, birds singing --- SO WHAT? My baby gives me one of those dazzling smiles --- SO WHAT? My best friend calls with good news, my boss gives me a raise, my husband cooks my favorite meal --- SO WHAT? Little things overwhelm me. I can't find the mate to my sock... the doorbell rings when I'm on the phone... I want to cry..."
Readers who can profit from the information in On The Edge of Darkness include those who are afflicted and need more insight into their illness. Also, those who have friends or loved ones suffering Major Affective or Bipolar disorders can profit from the in depth illustrations of those who have been there. The uninformed can also learn a great deal from the physicians' accounts, especially those discussing genetic predispositions and environmental interactions. There is nothing worse than the (well-intended?) advice of the uninformed such as: "Snap out of it!" "Be positive!" "All you need is a good kick in the butt!". These comments are cruel and only add to the already unbearable emotional pain felt by these individuals.
As with all the mental or psychiatric disorders, information is needed to help alleviate the stigma and bring the general public to better understand these disorders. People who suffer with recurrent Major Depression need the help provided in this book to try to be aware and avoid relapses. Cronkite's book is compassionate and informative in a very relative way with its use of first person accounts. It will help one to learn more about the "black dog" and how to live with him.

If your clutch bell has turned blue or has a worn interior the friction plates will not be lasting as long as they should do. If it is out of shape, clutch slip and jerking will also occur. The only remedy to these problems is complete replacement.
To help prevent the aforementioned problems occurring at all on maxi scooters MALOSSI have developed a forged, over-dimensioned steel clutch bell. Due to the tough PO4 steel used in their construction they possess a greatly increased stability at high temperature. The surface is nitrated and the drive cog teeth are produced using carbide steel machined from solid round stock. In their final step of production these MALOSSI clutch bells are fine balanced and counterweighted to guarantee smooth running, whatever the engine speed.
We can highly recommend these tough items for use on every model of maxi scooter MALOSSI also produce the Maxi Wing Clutch Bell for selected models, with a ribbed reinforcement ring for improved cooling. This leads to noticeably improved starts coupled with a stronger acceleration from low revs.
SIP -TIP : Do not forget to order a new clutch holding nut, a suitable clutch holding tool and a new retaining spring.
