Fleetwood Mac - Rumours -Hq-
Fleetwood Mac are a British-American rock band formed in 1967 in London. Due to numerous line-up changes, the only original member present in the band is its eponymous drummer, Mick Fleetwood. Although band founder Peter Green named the group by combining the surnames of two of his former bandmates (Fleetwood, McVie) from John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, bassist John McVie played neither on their first single nor at their first concerts, as he had to straighten things out with Mayall before joining the band permanently. The keyboardist, Christine McVie, who joined the band in 1970 while married to John McVie, appeared on all but two albums, either as a member or as a session musician. She also supplied the artwork for the album Kiln House.
The two most successful periods for the band were during the late 1960s British blues boom, when they were led by guitarist Peter Green and achieved a UK number one with 'Albatross'; and from 1975 to 1987, with more pop-orientation, featuring Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. Fleetwood Mac's second album after the incorporation of Nicks and Buckingham, 1977's Rumours, produced four U.S. Top 10 singles (including Nicks' song 'Dreams', which was the band's only U.S. number one) and remained at No.1 on the American albums chart for 31 weeks, as well as reaching the top spot in various countries around the world. To date the album has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it the eighth highest selling album of all time.
The band achieved more modest success in the intervening period between 1971 and 1974, with the line-up including Bob Welch, and also during the 1990s which saw more personnel changes before the return of Nicks and Buckingham in 1997, and more recently, the departure of Christine McVie. In 1998, Fleetwood Mac were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Fleetwood Mac have sold well over 100 million albums worldwide with a certified 48,500,000 units sold in the U.S.

With options for containment running low and the environmental disaster widening to more regions of the Gulf Coast, the next step in containment is the use of a 98-ton, four-story structure to stem the leak.
The basic idea of the "Pollution Control Dome" is that it will stop the leak, equalize the pressure and allow for the leaking oil to be pumped to the surface. Although this will do nothing for the oil already leaked, this may substantially cut the spill's environmental impact until other measures can be implemented. Containment domes of this nature have worked in shallow water, but the method has never been tested in water this deep.

Fact Sheet
Exercise and HIV
February 28, 2013
Why Is Exercise Important?
Exercise cannot control or fight HIV disease, but it may help you feel better and fight many of the side effects of HIV disease and HIV medications. It can also help you live healthier while ageing with HIV.
What Are the Advantages of Exercise?
Regular, moderate exercise has many of the same advantages for people with HIV disease as it does for most people. Exercise can:
What Are the Risks of Exercise?
Exercise Guidelines for People With HIV
Don't Overdo It!
A moderate exercise program will improve your body composition and minimize health risks. At first, go slow and schedule exercise into your daily activities.
Work up to a schedule of at least 20 minutes, at least three times per week to the best of your abilities. This can lead to significant improvements in your fitness level and you may feel better. As your strength and energy increase, try to aim at 45 minutes to an hour, three to four times a week.
People with HIV can improve their fitness levels through training like those who do not have HIV. However, people with HIV may find it harder to continue with a training program because of fatigue (see Fact Sheet 551) and pain in the feet (neuropathy, see Fact Sheet 555). These issues are not seen less often with new HIV medications, however.
Vary your exercise routine so that you do not get bored. Find new ways to keep yourself motivated to maintain your exercise program. Find a friend who can become your "exercise buddy."
Your fitness level may be different than it used to be. It is very important that you work your way into an exercise program to avoid injury. Starting with 10 minute sessions is good enough until you build up to an hour.
Eat and Drink Correctly
Drinking enough liquids is very important when you exercise. Extra water can help you replace the fluids you lose. Remember that drinking tea, coffee, colas, chocolate, or alcohol can actually make you lose body liquid.
Don't eat a big meal before you exercise (snacking is OK). Try to eat during the first hour after the exercise session to replenish your body's energy storage. Having a small snack like an apple or small peanut butter sandwich on multigrain bread before working out can provide you with a boost in energy.
Proper nutrition is also important. With increased activity you may need to eat more calories to avoid losing weight, unless weight loss is your goal.
Choose Something You Enjoy
Choose activities that you like. Whether it is yoga, running, bicycling, or another sport, doing something you like will encourage you to maintain your program. Try not to sit for over 2 hours. Take breaks and walk around. Don't get into a rut! Change your activities if you need to so that you stay motivated.
If your fitness level is good, you can compete in competitive sports. Taking part in competitive or team sports does not pose a risk of spreading HIV to other athletes or coaches. Keeping your HIV viral load undetectable protects you and other around you, and may prevent you from losing lean body mass.
Exercise With Weights
Weight training (resistance exercise) is one of the best ways to increase lean body mass and bone density that may be lost through HIV disease and aging. Working out three times a week for an hour should be enough if done well. Doing weight training followed by 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise may be the best way to improve body composition and keep your blood lipids and sugar down. Cardiovascular exercise means increasing oxygenation and heart rate while moving large muscle groups continuously for at least 30 minutes. Activities such as brisk walking, jogging, dancing, bicycling or swimming can be considered cardiovascular exercise. Walk your dog, park your car far, use the stairs, and get creative about ways not to remain sedentary. The quality of your old age depends on this!
The Bottom Line
Exercise can improve lean body mass, decrease fat, stress, fatigue and depression; improve strength, endurance, and cardiovascular fitness. It may also help the immune system work better.

'The Vampire Diaries' Recap: 'Death and the Maiden'
Previously on 'The Vampire Diaries,' we found out that Amara is the anchor to the other side and that she cares way more about dying than about spending time with her "one true love," Silas. Naturally, this left Silas incredibly bitter. Will the lovers be reunited? Will we finally find a way to bring Bonnie back from the other side? Let's see, shall we?
We open with Silas at a bus station. Silas is bemoaning his current status (which, after last episode is single, betrayed and stabbed in the neck) to the nice couple sitting next to him at the stop. Of course, because it's Silas, he liquifies the boyfriend's brains because he's just super sad. Ugh, witches.
Silas' doppelganger, Stefan, isn't doing much better. Now that his memories are back, he's tortured by the painful memories of the past. That's right: the memories of drowning in the safe, murdering a bunch of innocent people and pining over Elena are back. Who said amnesia was a bad thing?
In more doppelganger news, Amara is freaking the hell out. (Seriously, it's like a scene straight out of 'Girl, Interrupted.') The betrayed Silas is more than ready to ax his ex, but if Damon kills Amara, that means the other side is destroyed, destroying Bonnie's spirit with it.
It seems that Bonnie is running out of options for returning to the land of the living... that is, until Amara starts talking to Bonnie's ghost. It turns out that Bonnie and Amara have a special connection -- as the anchor to the other side, Amara can see and touch Bonnie. This gives Jeremy an idea: What if Bonnie becomes the new anchor?
Dr. Maxfield tells Katherine the bad news: She's aging because her vampire years are finally catching up to her. She's not thrilled with this. But if anything ages Katherine, it's the presence of her daughter, Nadia -- whom she tells Caroline is her "stylist." Poor Nadia -- doesn't she know that Katherine doesn't have a maternal bone in her body?
Damon goes to Katsia to make the deal with her: Silas and Amara will die, and Bonnie gets to have her foot in and out of the other side. Katsia is game, but she needs some serious doppelganger blood to go through with the spell. Elena is game, and so is Katherine -- if Katsia promises to save her life.
Poor, broken Amara apologizes to Katsia for the whole "cheating scandal" and begs Katsia to kill her once and for all. Katsia says she will... but, in doing so, plans to separate Amara and Silas from one another forever in death.
Katsia, Katherine and Elena come together to turn Bonnie into the anchor. Elena and Katherine shed some blood and the spell goes as planned, until Silas interrupts, causing a scene and causing Amara to escape. Katsia and Silas have the brawl of all brawls, before Silas stabs Katsia in the neck. "But I loved you!" Katsia says as she bleeds out. Get in line, girl... with a face like that, who wouldn't?
Silas runs to the woods and meets Amara, who begs him to finally kill her. She tells him that she loves him, but that she simply can't live another day. Silas tells her that he understands, and that he loves her, too. He takes a knife and is about to slit her throat when Stefan attacks him. He remembers all that Silas did to him, and he's ready to seek his own revenge. Too bad that he forgot about Silas' mind control powers. But Stefan manages to gain the upper hand on Silas, and, finally, kills him.
Amara, staring at Silas' dead body, decides to make their eternity start now. She stabs herself in the stomach, finally achieving her 2,000-year-old wish for death. Damon runs to her, attempting to stop the bleeding so that Katsia can complete the spell and bind Bonnie as the anchor. Amara begs Damon to let her die and begins to slip away.
Bonnie's ghost goes to Jeremy. She's ready to say goodbye, for good. Now that Amara is dead, there's no hope for her to come back. Bonnie asks Jeremy to tell her what he needed to: that he loves her. But just as all hope seems lost, Katsia completes the spell. Jeremy reaches out to touch Bonnie's face, and, for the first time, can feel her. They embrace by the fire.
Katherine goes to Katsia and asks her to save her life. But what Katherine can't see is that Katsia is dying herself. She slit her wrists in order to be with Silas. True love prevails, we guess.
But it's not over... at least, not for Bonnie. As soon as Katsia dies, her ghost appears to Bonnie. Katsia has some bad news: Every time someone near her dies, Bonnie is going to feel that person's death. And that's going to really, really suck.
Katherine may not be able to save her own life, but living on borrowed time isn't making her any warmer to her daughter Nadia. Nadia begs Katherine to return to Prague with her so they can get to know one another. Katherine tells Nadia that she would rather rip her own heart out than spend time with her. While it may seem like Katherine is just being her typical bitchy self, we get the sense that she doesn't want Nadia to have to lose her yet again. (Aww, is this progress?)
Stefan digs a hole and begins to bury Silas' body. As he does, he recalls each and every painful memory that Silas put him through. As he covers Silas with the dirt, he knows that he should feel satisfied, but recoils in horror when all of his emotions are just as strong as before his death. Is Stefan destined for a life of pain?

Kelly Clarkson Responds to Seattle Children's Hospital 'Stronger' Video
Kelly Clarkson was so moved by the cancer patients (and nurses) at Seattle Children's Hospital filming a video of themselves singing the empowering lyrics to her smash hit 'Stronger' that she recorded a video response. How sweet of her, right?
In the video, a visibly touched Clarkson gushes, "That was so amazing. It made my day. Everyone has been watching and talking about it. It is so beautiful and wonderful. I can't wait to meet you. It was the coolest thing to watch."
The patients and hospital admin are beyond stoked that Clarkson was aware of their video and that she taped her own message for them. There is footage of one patient talking about how she and friends would blast the song and sing along in the car.
We were moved by the spirit and resilience of the patients who made this video and we give major props to Kelly Clarkson for taking time out of her day to acknowledge how her music helped these kids. It's a heartwarming clip in every sense.
Let's hope Clarkson stops by the hospital to sing the song and give the kids their own private concert.

Well, they _might_ be able to muffle the air flow noise with an expensive, and most likely large, case design. The one thing they can't get away from is the heat. Anything "super", meaning much faster than an average desktop, is going to use a lot of power, and 1000W is roughly where I would imagine this sort of machine would sit, the upper limit being set by the need to leave at least 500W for incidentals like small printers, phones, displays and the like, on the same 15A circuit. 1000W is too much heat to have under ones desk, unless a dramatically lowered sperm count is the goal. It is also pushing the edge of the AC capacity for a small office. On the other hand, if Cray can make it reasonably quiet it should be ok in a lab environment, even at 1000W. Labs have better air flow, higher AC capacity, and better power (multiple 20A circuits are common) than do offices. Labs are better, but not THAT much better, so if everybody in the lab wants one, you might be back to needing a machine room, at which point the expensive quiet case was a waste of money. Or worse, they might not fit in racks. Regards, David Mathog mathog at caltech.edu Manager, Sequence Analysis Facility, Biology Division, Caltech

RENTON — There was disappointment in the Seattle Seahawks locker room to be sure, but there was also optimism about what this team can do in the future.
Yet as players packed up their belongings, said their goodbyes and discussed the season that was, there was one notable absence.
Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson, a day after Seattle's season ended in excruciating fashion, and eight months before the next meaningful game, was not packing up his things just yet. He was busy studying the game film of his team's 30-28 loss to Atlanta.
No, seriously, he was.
And don't think for a second that Wilson's maniacal work ethic and the optimism felt in Seattle's locker room aren't very much related. After years of heading into the offseason with more questions than answers at the game's most important position, the Seahawks can look forward to 2013 knowing that they not only have a talented young nucleus in place, but also a developing young star leading their offense.
"It's enormous," Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll said when asked the significance of having found a quarterback like Wilson. "Everybody in this building, and everybody that follows us, realizes what kind of player he is, and he's just getting started. We can talk about Russell forever because there is so much to talk about, but it's not just his way of going about it, it's his ability to play on game day. He has so many characteristics that are so positive, but put him out on the field on game day, he's a baller."
The players sense that too, which is why Wilson was able to win over the locker room right off the bat, and why players now can't wait to see where Wilson can help lead the team next season.
"It's definitely encouraging," said fullback Michael Robinson. "Russell is just getting started, that's the thing, man. He can will you to a victory. That's what you want in a leader, that's what you want in a quarterback. He can only get better, and I look forward to seeing it. … The biggest jump of improvement is usually from the first to second year for all players, so I look forward to big things from him next year."
Wilson will allow himself a bit of a break — he still owes Ashton, his wife of a year, a honeymoon — but otherwise he plans on spending most of his offseason in Seattle figuring out how to make himself and the Seahawks better. And for an athlete who used to juggle college football and a professional baseball career, working nonstop is the norm.
"I've never been used to a break, to be honest with you," Wilson said. "I played two sports my whole life, so it's going to be different for me. I've got to adjust. … I may have to go to the batting cage or something to relax a little bit."
At this point, nothing Wilson does, whether it's leading a fourth-quarter comeback or working non-stop off the field, will really surprise anyone in Seattle's locker room. And that's one of the biggest reasons why the Seahawks are so excited about their future even as they struggle to accept that their season just ended.
"After the Chicago game, you had a team full of believers that he could do anything," said cornerback Richard Sherman, speaking about the touchdown drives Wilson led in the fourth quarter and overtime as Seattle defeated the Bears on Dec. 2. "We'd be surprised if he walked on water and fell in. He's a great quarterback, he's a great person, and he deserves the success he has. He works hard for it, he does everything you could ask of a quarterback and more."
And to be fair, the Seahawks have plenty of reasons for optimism beyond the play of their young quarterback. The Seahawks are young, which means a lot of these players have room to grow. And only two starters — linebacker Leroy Hill and defensive tackle Alan Branch — are free agents. Also, the good health that helped Seattle finish the season so strong will also lead to a more productive offseason.
Carroll said that only defensive end Chris Clemons, who tore his ACL in Seattle's win in Washington, requires a major offseason surgery. Just about everyone else should be available when the team gets back together in a few months for offseason workouts.
Add all that up, and it explains why, even a day after the season ended tantalizingly close to the Super Bowl, tackle Breno Giacomini walked into the locker room Monday yelling, "Only 193 days 'til training camp!"
Still, bright future or not, it was hard for players not to look at how well the team had played of late and wonder what might have been.
"It was a special year, man," said Hill. "It was real special. It's a season I'll remember when I'm an old man looking back on my career. You just hate to waste a team this good, that's how I feel. We've got a special team, we could do a lot of special things, and to just fall short, that's the most disappointing thing."

Tracking Eero – BC Webisode 1
"Again my first time doing something. First time on a heli! Me, Danny Kass and Torstein Horgmo had a big mission of hitting POW jumps in Pemberton BC. It was such a cool and motivated crew to ride with. The snow was pretty shallow on some spots and I hit like 3 rocks on my trip and hit a big ass tree with my leg.
We also found some really good jumps a bit lower in the woods and got some tricks! I was super stoked to just be out there scoping and building jumps and finally trying to get my powder legs back on. Our crew stayed at this crazy lodge on the mountain for 8 days. And Torstein even set up his own barbers shop and cut my super crazy hair. That was a funny shoot for sure.
And we had a huge help from the Backcountry Snowcats drivers that helped us build jumps with badass snow cat, kind of cheating but saved as a lot of hours, ha-ha!"

Gaming Piracy Scene Going to Disappear
The Gaming Piracy Scene seems to be dying, no more cracked games?
Gaming Piracy Scene is taking a huge hit by struggling to find out how to crack games. There is a new protection called Denuvo, created by the Austrian Company Denuvo Software Solutions GmbH.
This protection for games is so difficult to crack that the legendary Chinese piracy release group 3DM recently announced their retirement from the Gaming Piracy Scene at least for a whole year.
3DM is very well known for cracking games such as FIFA 15 or GTA V, to mention some. Their forums are heavily crowded every single day and this announcement shocked their fans.

Murder Simply Brewed
By Vannetta Chapman
Published by Zondervan
Publisher Book Description: What will happen when two amateur sleuths, one Amish and one English, combine forces to solve the string of crimes happening in the Amish Artisan Village? Spring has arrived in Middlebury, Indiana, and Amber Wright can see profits in sight for her collection of Amish artisan shops—until she receives a call that Ethan Gray is dead. Hurrying over to A Simple Blend, she finds a single hole in the front window and Mr. Gray dead from an apparent heart attack. All the money is still in his register. Hannah Troyer takes over the shop's duties, and she and Amber become fast friends as well as amateur sleuths. The police believe Gray's death to be a by-product of vandalism, but Amber and Hannah aren't so easily convinced. Old Testament clues that don't add up, a neighbor who is pulled into the midst of the investigation, a town with secrets to hide, and blossoming romance—all will combine to push Amber and Hannah into unfamiliar roles in order to solve a mystery and bring peace to the Amish community.
My Thoughts: This is the second Amish themed book I have picked up this month, so being more familiar with the culture from my last read, I was able to get into the book right away. I am a big fan of mysteries in books, so I was rather delighted by how well the author continued the mystery without making me feel like it was dragging on. I liked that the mystery was the main bit of the story, but built upon the friendships between several of the characters. There was a bit of a romance weaving through the story, but not in a way that detracted from the story as a whole, nor did it seemed tacked on like some mysteries has been guilty of in the past. Personally the story made me think of my interactions with both my friends and my acquaintances; how quickly one can go from only ones name to someone you would depend on & trust. I would recommend this sweet story with a Mysterious bent; as for myself, I will be looking for more stories from this author.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from the publisher through the BookLook Bloggers <http://booklookbloggers.com> book review bloggers program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own. I am disclosing this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part 255 <http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_03/16cfr255_03.html> : "Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising."

If Dino S. Hall is passionate about two things, it's poetry and planes. A 30-year vet in the aviation industry—serving both as a pilot and a head air traffic controller—Hall started a poetry slam series in October, A Night of Spoken Word. In addition to bringing nationally renowned poets to the Duke City, the series is designed to raise funds to send youths to an airplane camp at Kirtland and the Space Camp in Huntsville, Ala. "The thought came to me, Why not let poets help me get the word out?" Hall says. A longtime poetry fan, he says he's flying the wordsmiths in on his own dime from around the country.
This month Hall brings "Mama" Brenda Matthews and HBO's "Def Poetry Jam" poet Oscar "Triple Blak" Lester, both from Chicago, to perform at the South Broadway Cultural Center. He also encourages anyone to speak up at an open mic preceding the scheduled poets.
Hall's project has lofty goals—he says funding one student for a weeklong Space Camp session can cost $25,000—but it's familiar territory to him. He's been working in aviation programs for kids since 1991 and has set up two foundations to aid the process. One is for-profit and in his name. The other, the Angela Denise Hall Foundation, is in honor of his wife and is nonprofit-pending. As Hall explains it, his foundation puts on events and concerts. "If we can make some money then we'll funnel the money into the nonprofit ADH Foundation. The foundation will give away the scholarships and provide the resources for kids to go to the Space Camp and the aviation camp." The scholarship process will start in the Spring, when Hall will make applications available to youth ages 9 through 17.
Those fundraising concerts include a show he's hosting in Albuquerque early next year featuring '70s soul legends The Chi-Lites and The Stylistics. And he's already made arrangements to bring The Last Poets (think "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised") and The Watts Prophets to perform at a Night of Spoken Word next summer.
The $7 door charge covers both the two- to three-hour event and appetizers from Mr. Powdrell's Barbeque House. There will be no spoken word night in January, as Hall is working on a Kwanzaa event, but he has poets from New York, Atlanta and Memphis lined up for the following months. He's hoping to really get the series off the ground on Saturday.

VICTORVILLE — A Victorville man pleaded not guilty to attempted murder charges Thursday in Victorville Superior court for the alleged stabbing of a man on last Friday, officials said.
Gerardo Cervantes, 38, is accused of attacking a man with a knife last Friday during an argument, San Bernardino County Sheriff's officials said Thursday.
The stabbing reportedly took place in a trailer park in the 15200 block of Mojave Drive in Victorville.
Paramedics transported the stabbing victim to a local hospital where he is expected to make a full recovery.
Investigators, including the Victorville station SMASH Gang Team, received information which led to Cervantes's arrest on Tuesday.
A search of Cervantes's court records show he has an active case against him for reportedly attacking his spouse. He pleaded not guilty in that case Wednesday.
He's expected back in Victorville Superior court on March 17 on the attempted murder case.

Is Prince's Purple Kingdom Crumbling?
Photo by G. Art by Mr. Brainwash.
2010 is not Prince's year. Here's a brief summary of why it sucks to be Prince in 2010.
– Prince writes a fight song called "Purple and Gold" for the football team the Minnesota Vikings. The song is regarded by legions of die-hard fans as not just the worst Prince song ever written, but the worst song ever written by any artist.
– A baby wins a lawsuit against Prince. Last year, a mother posted a video of her baby dancing to the song "Let's Go Crazy" on Youtube and Prince's people sued for copyright infringement. He lost.
– Revelations Perfume & Cosmetics is about to sue Prince for not properly promoting his new fragrance "3121." It was recently ruled that the suit is legitimate and fraud charges against the singer are to be filed.
– A bootleg called "Box O' Chocolates" containing some of Prince's best loved unreleased songs leaks for free in near-perfect sound quality. The purple one has let these unreleased gems rot away in a vault instead of letting people hear them and now if he decides to dust off these tracks, his die-hard fans already have them in sound quality that is very close to an official release. All of the songs were recorded in "the golden age" of Prince during the period of 1984 – 1987. The tracks include "Wonderful Ass," "Girl O' My Dreams," "We Can Funk," "A Place In Heaven," "All Day, All Night," "Data Bank," and "Witness 4 The Prosecution."
– Prince's short lived fan site Lotusflow3r is not continuing for a second year. Fans were charged $77 for a 1-year membership. It was rumored that 8 albums worth of unreleased material would be available for download on this site, rare videos would be offered and fans would get priority access to concert tickets. It turns out that Prince only played in Los Angeles, Monte Carlo, Minnesota and Paris during this time, so if you did not live in or visit those cities, access to pre-sale concert tickets was for naught. The members received a free download of his triple album set that was for sale at Target for a much cheaper price of $11.99, a handful of streaming (and not downloadable videos) consisting primarily of videos that his die-hard fans have had for years, and a few (but not all of the members) received a free T-shirt. What fans also received was finding out exclusive Prince news on other sites long before he posted the information to paying customers.
– Prince gives a new song called "Cause and Effect" to a Minneapolis radio station. A 15-second teaser consisting of an electrifying guitar solo leaks a few days prior leaving fans totally disappointed when the rest of the song turns out to sound nothing like the teaser, but instead like a really bad cover version of a Prince song.
– Prince is forced to pay an Irish promoter nearly $3 million for canceling a 2008 concert in Ireland at the last minute after over 55,000 tickets had already been sold.
– Prince owes the state of Minnesota a figure somewhere between $200,000 and $400,000 in unpaid property taxes and authorities are reporting this is not the first time they've had to chase Prince for the money.
According2g, here's what Prince should do:
– Treat your fans better. In the digital age, even legends are quickly forgotten.
– Before you record another note, go back and listen to some of your old stuff to remember what it sounds like to make an amazing track.
– Quit suing fans. It just makes you look like an asshole.
– Pay your taxes.
– Release some live DVDs from past tours to appease die-hard fans and introduce your wonderful world to legions of new fans.
– Dust off some of the stuff in your legendary vault. What is the point of recording a song a day for the last 30 years if nobody is going to be able to hear any of it?
– Do not succumb to peer pressure and work with "it" producers, though a duet every now and again might be fun.
– Follow through with the promises you make. Your word is the law. If you can't deliver the content, why bother teasing fans?
– Read According2g.com every day (just thought I'd throw that one in for good measure).
Come back Prince, music needs you!!!

Union generals squabble outside of Atlanta
A Union operation against Confederate defenses around Atlanta, Georgia, stalls when infighting erupts between Yankee generals.
The problem arose when Union General William T. Sherman began stretching his force—consisting of the Army of the Ohio, the Army of the Tennessee, and the Army of the Cumberland—west of Ezra Church, the site of a major battle on July 28, to Utoy Creek, west of Atlanta. The Confederate army inside of Atlanta, commanded by General John Bell Hood, had attacked Sherman's army three times in late July and could no longer mount an offensive operation. Sherman now moved General John Schofield, who commanded the Army of the Ohio, from the east side of Atlanta to the west in an attempt to cut the rail lines that supplied the city from the south and west. Schofield's force arrived at Utoy Creek on August 3.
The Army of the Cumberland's Fourteenth Corps, commanded by General John Palmer, had also been sent by Sherman to assist Schofield. But on August 4, the operation came to a standstill because Palmer refused to accept orders from anyone but General George Thomas, commander of the Army of the Cumberland. Although Schofield was the director of the operation, Palmer felt that Schofield was his junior. The two men had been promoted to major general on the same day in 1862, but Schofield's appointment had expired four months later. Schofield had been reappointed with his original date of promotion, November 29, 1862, but Palmer insisted that the reappointment placed Schofield behind him in seniority.
Agreeing only to relay Schofield's order to his division commanders, Palmer refused even to accept Sherman's orders. On August 5, Sherman declared that Schofield was senior to Palmer, upon which Palmer resigned and returned to his Illinois home. The delay provided the Confederates ample time to extend their defenses and protect their western rail links.
An example of how generals' egos could be both large and fragile, the incident would be laughable if it were not for the event's consequences. When the Yankees attacked on August 6, they suffered 300 casualties, which might have been prevented if the squabble had not occurred.

The New York Times ran a provocative article regarding the state of the biotech industry on Sunday. Although it raises some interesting questions about biotech's future, it's also a bit of a mess, throwing ideas out faster than it can either discuss them in detail or support the conclusions that it reaches. But some of its ideas are worth delving in to, so I'll spend some time unravelling the concepts it presents.
The central idea that the article focuses on is the fact that biotech has taken a gene-focused approach to solving health problems: identify a gene central to the disease process, and design therapies targeted to it. It then goes on to suggest that the approach has been revealed to be misguided by recent discoveries, which have shown that most genes act as parts of large, complex networks. It also cites the ENCODE results, which showed that genes are just one part of a vast sea of sequences that are copied into RNA.
For starters, it's worth reiterating that we have no idea what the ENCODE data means at this point. All that extra RNA may be as important to life as the genes are, or it may just be an unavoidable side effect of making transcripts, without any functional significance. It's probably a bit excessive to call for re-evaluating all of biotech until we know what the ENCODE results are actually telling us. Even if ENCODE data represents a significant conceptual shift, it's not clear how much these findings differ from earlier discoveries that blurred the boundaries of what constitutes a gene, such as alternate splicing and regulatory RNAs. Biotech is not only aware of these earlier findings, but is actively trying to leverage them to create products.
As for genes operating as part of larger networks, biology has been aware of that at least since I was in graduate school in the early 90s. We are now better able to look at the overall activity of gene networks, but that hardly means biologists were unaware of them before now. As the academic and biotech communities have swapped personnel at a heavy pace throughout the sector's history, it seems likely that biotech has been very much aware of the existence of gene networks for a while. In fact, elsewhere in the article itself, the author recognizes that biotech companies are studying networks (more on that below).
So, why is biotech focusing on genes if it's aware that they're embedded in complex networks? Because many networks have single (or few) points of failure. Many of the studies done by biotech companies are, in fact, focused on identifying which genes are likely to reside at critical nodes of biological networks. Sometimes they get their targets wrong but, as evidenced by the fact that there are successful biotech products on the market, they clearly have succeeded in targeting key points in these networks.
So, the central premise of the article—biotech does not recognize the significance of sequences beyond protein coding genes and the importance of networks—seems to be based on the assumption that biotech isn't actually following the developments in biology. That's simply not the case. Most biotech efforts do target proteins, but that's probably because they're easier targets for therapies.
For an essay that seems to have gotten its main premise wrong, the piece does a remarkably good job of raising some interesting questions in its peripheral premises. It points out that the US has allowed over 4,000 human genes to be patented, but that those patents may be extremely difficult to defend as we find that many of these genes consist of a complex maze of regulatory DNA, RNA, and alternate forms of messenger RNAs that produce a small blizzard of protein variations.
A second point it raises is that, as part of their studies in patients, biotech companies are generating a staggeringly detailed picture of what their therapies do to the networks they target. Although the article doesn't recognize it, in essence, this data takes the concept of "side effects" down to the level of genome-wide gene expression. But that data, as the essay notes, is not being revealed to patients; instead, biotech companies view it as proprietary information that can be used to improve their products. As more people have access to their own genetic details, that sort of data may be actually be of value to them, a situation that will inevitably cause tension between patients and biotech companies.
Sadly, the piece skips right past that interesting point, and instead takes a bizarre tack when it comes to side effects, claiming that, "evidence of a networked genome shatters the scientific basis for virtually every official risk assessment of today's commercial biotech products." It's hard to call this claim anything other than simply wrong; if a drug has adverse side effects, it doesn't matter whether they're caused by gene networks or something else entirely.
Overall, the article raises some interesting points about how our ever-increasing knowledge of gene networks may pose some interesting challenges for biotech companies and those who receive their products. But it seems to over-hype the problems, and bury them within larger claims that just don't seem accurate.

Intel's "Ivy Bridge" Gives Moore's Law a Lifeline
Posted by Michael Knutson in "Laptop Thoughts News" @ 11:00 PM
"SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 4, 2011 - Intel Corporation today announced a significant breakthrough in the evolution of the transistor, the microscopic building block of modern electronics. For the first time since the invention of silicon transistors over 50 years ago, transistors using a three-dimensional structure will be put into high-volume manufacturing. Intel will introduce a revolutionary 3-D transistor design called Tri-Gate, first disclosed by Intel in 2002, into high-volume manufacturing at the 22-nanometer (nm) node in an Intel chip codenamed "Ivy Bridge." A nanometer is one-billionth of a meter."
"Moore's Law is a forecast for the pace of silicon technology development that states that roughly every 2 years transistor density will double, while increasing functionality and performance and decreasing costs. It has become the basic business model for the semiconductor industry for more than 40 years." So, how does Intel ensure that Moore's Law continues to be valid? Move into a third dimension. 22-nanometers, or 22 billionths of a meter - an amazing technical accomplishment. So, just to give us an idea of how small these technologies have become, Intel states that "more than 6 million 22nm Tri-Gate transistors could fit in the period at the end of this sentence." Production availability is scheduled for the end of 2011. Do we live in interesting times, or what?

1. In the 21st century, altruism has already accomplished greater heights in abstruse advances. While it is a amount of pride, there is addition angle of humanity, which is a could cause of greater concern. The religious agitation unleashed by ISIS, Al Qaeda, Taliban, and Boko Haram groups is worrisome. We assume to be clumsy to nip the angry in the bud. Downing the air-crafts by terrorists has continued, in animosity of all antitoxin measures.
*There is something amiss in our acquaintance or compassionate about religions. Let's not accelerate to animadversion on Islam or appropriateness of Muslim terrorists. Let us do brooding of practices in our own religions and do our best to analysis the evil, in our religious practices. Let the political, and religious leaders, yield action to check: initially intra-religious violence, followed by inter-religious violence.
2. We should abstain discussing, and criticizing added religions, as it generally leads to violence. However, we can allow to animadversion on our own religious group; it is beneath risky. I am a Sikh. Sikhs too accept deviated from Sikhism – as Christians, Muslims, and Hindus accept deviated from the article of their corresponding religions. People are just not afterward their religious teachings, in letter and spirit.
*Slkhs are an affluent, and adventuresome association from India – who accept migrated to countries all over the world. They plan hard, and accord abundantly for religious/charity causes. Unfortunately they accept been targets of abandon in the US by mistake, as their actualization is about agnate to Islamic terrorists. Now the Sikh association in the US, is demography alleviative measures, proactively, to brainwash bounded citizenry in US about Sikhs, by agreeable them to gurdwaras, on Sundays.
Defining Sikhism
3. Sikhism believes in one God. Idol adoration is not allowed. Sikhism has 10 gurus – animal prophets – who lived during the 15th-18th centuries. Their blue-blooded thoughts, were aggregate later, as the Sikh angelic book, called,'Sri Authority Granth Sahib'. All Sikhs are accepted to attribute 10% of their balance for association welfare.
Scriptures' Language
4. Sikh religious scriptures are in the Punjabi language, accounting in Gurmukhi script. Although the scriptures are in a 300-500 year old language, still the accent is calmly accepted by a archetypal Sikh follower. It is a different affection of Sikhism.
* Christianity has done a bigger job, as the Bible, and account in churches, are accessible in bounded languages all over the world. Account in mosques in Islam adoration is accessible alone in Arabic language, which isn't simple to accept by non-Arabic Muslims. Religious rites – during marriage, and afterlife – in Hinduism are recited in Sanskrit language, which is not accepted by majority of Hindus.
A Social Role
5. The Sikh temples act as 'social clubs' as well, and accomplish the adorning requirements of the society. Sikhs in India pay allegiance in the Sikh temples – alleged 'Gurdwaras' – alert a day: firstly, aboriginal in the morning just afore starting the circadian activities, and afterwards in the evening, afterwards the circadian business activities are over. It is a way to remember, God and seek His blessings. There are account congregations, on Sundays, followed by association meals. The aforementioned aliment is served to all associates of the association – affluent or poor.
What Sikhs Can Do!
6. Inflexibility. Sikhism is inflexible, like added religions. It observes durably its behavior and rituals. It refuses to adapt the angelic book, on the affectation that these are God's words, and we animal beings accept no appropriate to change. For example, there was no abstraction of 'comma' that time. We can admit 'commas' now in the scriptures, which will advice us to accept the scriptures faster and better, but the abstraction was banned down, by Sikh community. Let Sikhism be a activating religion, which permits discussions,and its religious leaders accept dissension, afterwards threats, affiliated to 'fatwa' of Muslim religious leaders.
7. Women. While women accept according rights in Sikhism, they were formally allowed, to recite religious psalms, in capital Gurdwaras, just 2-3 years ago. Even afterwards that, till date, ladies haven't performed in the Golden Temple, advised the a lot of angelic temple of Sikhism. Thus, the old traditions backpack on. Sikhs accept to proactively, motivate, and invite, adherent ladies to recite religious psalms in the Golden Temple. It will be a abundant celebrated footfall in the account of Sikhs history.
8. Drinks. Sikhs adore drinks, although Sikhism doesn't accept it. The acumen could be: 'tobacco' is accurately banned in scriptures, but liquor is not. It comes beneath all-encompassing ban: annihilation which after-effects in animal beings accepting benumbed is inappropriate. Now Sikh adolescence in Punjab are adversity the aggression of drugs from Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Religious article accept bootless to analysis bubbler habits of Sikhs.
9. Oneness A part of Sikhs. Sikhism believes: ' All altruism is one class.' Unfortunately, it isn't followed in practice. The betrothed advertisements in newspapers assert that Sikhism is disconnected into sub-groups – Jats, Ramgariahs, and Khatris/Aroras – who are absurd to be unified, in the abreast future. Even religions accept bootless to arrange the followers. The intra-religious hostilities accept resulted in lot of bloodshed.
10. No More Gurus. The tenth authority dictated that afterwards him, alone the angelic book is to be admired as the guru, and no animal getting will be the guru; as animal beings are all accessible to temptations and animal desires. Sikhs argue tooth and nail, the bounded religious sects and the gurus, who accredit to Sikh angelic book for guidance, but affirmation divinity. It has resulted in bloodshed. Sikhs accept to apprentice to be tolerant, of added gurus, rather than gunning them down..
11. Hairs And Beard. Sikhs were advancing by the tenth guru, not to trim hairs and beard, so as to courageously assert their character to the adverse bounded kingdoms. The attitude has continued, as adherent Sikhs accept by Guru's dictates. There is abhorrence to accumulate hair, and beard, a part of new generations, as it questions, the argumentation of continuing the dictate, if the abhorrence is no best there. There is an burning charge for a proactive approach, and accessible altercation on the issue, to boldness the two adverse viewpoints.
