This 3-part discussion takes Theories of Modern Society as a research problem in the tradition of workplace Inquiries. In part one, by examining the Blue Books and Factory Inspector reports that Marx used for the Working Day chapter of Capital Volume one, we will look at the Industrial Revolution in the mid 18th Century. In part two we will consider Fordist Production systems and the global advent of assembly work through to finance capital and just-in-time delivery/Toyota-ism, then in part three the co-research tradition of Autonomist Marxism and Kolinko permits us to look at processed work and the alienations and precarity of net-life, internship and service work – the problem of 'immaterial' labour and the general intellect/education system. Each of the sections coheres around ideas of workplace or social inquiry and co-research. Each section will also include some topical film analysis and discussion (eg: Hard Times for mid 1800s, Tucker and Modern Times for 1920s, perhaps Wall Street for the 1970s and The Social Network for processed work for late 20th early 21st Century). Assessment will be your own inquiry into your own conditions of work, broadly defined.
March 1-2 Read 'Machinery and Modern Industry' in Marx's Capital (chapter 13 in the German or 15 in the English). Again there will be films, discussion and additional reading in class. Links to the English translation – here http://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/ch15.htm
April 26-27 Read 'The General Law of Capitalist Accumulation' chapter 25 of Capital (23 German edn) and 'Hotlines'. Available online in English and German: http://www.nadir.org/nadir/initiativ/kolinko/lebuk/e_lebuk.htm

Remember the Brandon Beachy-Carlos Quentin trade rumors? Well, MLB's Mark Bowman says it's not Carlos Quentin the Braves are after:
Like many Major League clubs, the White Sox seem interested in the Braves' wealth of young pitching talent. But those fans hoping this means outfielder Carlos Quentin could be headed to Atlanta should be prepared for disappointment.
White Sox advance scout Bill Scherrer was at Turner Field for this past weekend's series against the Orioles and he stuck around for this week's series against the Rockies. Given the White Sox and Orioles will not meet again until Aug. 8, Scherrer has likely focused most of his attention toward the Braves' pitchers.
While the Braves might be in the market for an outfielder, their primary focus will likely not be aimed toward corner outfielders like Quentin. Instead they will continue to evaluate what Jordan Schafer can provide in the leadoff spot and determine whether they need to increase their efforts to find a proven leadoff hitter like the White Sox have in Juan Pierre.
Pierre has batted .261 with a .322 on-base percentage and been successful with just 12 of his 22 stolen base attempts. In other words, he hasn't been the same guy who was successful with 68 of 86 stolen base attempts last year. But since May 1, he has hit .270 with a .340 on-base percentage and been successful with seven of his 10 stolen base attempts.
With Brandon Beachy, Mike Minor, Julio Teheran and Randall Delgado, the Braves are loaded with the non-arbitration-eligible, Major League-ready arms the White Sox are seeking.
Take him. Take him immediately! Of course, we won't be getting a pitcher in return for Juan Pierre. Much less one with about 1 year of MLB service time and outstanding numbers. A couple slabs of barbeque ribs will be enough for the return.

BOSTON, Nov. 10 (UPI) — Memory loss, depression and other types of cognitive impairment are a serious consequence of diabetes, U.S. researchers say.
Neurophysiologist Vera Novak of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and colleagues reported that in older patients with diabetes, two adhesion molecules — sVCAM and sICAM — cause inflammation in the brain, triggering a series of events that affect blood vessels and eventually cause brain tissue to atrophy, which results in decreased cognition.
The study, published in the journal Diabetes Care, found the gray matter in the brain's frontal and temporal regions — responsible for decision-making, language, verbal memory and complex tasks — is the area most affected by these events.
The study involved 147 study subjects, average age 65. Seventy-one of the subjects had type 2 diabetes and had been taking medication to manage their conditions for at least five years. The other 76 were age and sex-matched non-diabetic controls.
The subjects underwent functional magnetic resonance imaging testing to show changes in blood flow. The diabetic patients not only had greater blood vessel constriction than the control subjects, they also had more atrophied brain tissue, particularly gray matter, the researchers said.

Covering the Bases: Game 24
FIRST: OK, now be honest, who had Alex Gonzalez launching seven home runs in the first month of the season for the Blue Jays?
Didn't think so.
Gonzalez has had decent power totals over the course of his career (23 in 2004, 18 in '03, even 16 as recent as '07), but the 33-year-old shortstop had knee issues in recent seasons and launched all of eight homers over 112 games a year ago.
Gone-zo hit two homers in Friday's 10-2 win over the A's, giving him seven on the year.
The Blue Jays even billed the one-year signing of Gonzalez as a way to bring in a Gold Glove-caliber defender. Any kind of offense would be a bonus. Well, consider this first month — a club record for home runs by a Jays shortstop — a major bonus for Toronto.
SECOND: Vernon Wells was quick to say that what Gonzalez is doing right now is unbelievable: "I just look at him and shake my head sometimes." While discussing Gonzalez, Wells broke into a smile and laughed.
"He tells me to look out, because he's right behind me," Wells said.
Said Gonzalez…
"That's what I told him in the dugout," he said, grinning. "I said, 'I'm coming behind you. Watch out.' It's just, you make it fun during the game."
Obviously, Gonzalez is having fun with this while it lasts, too.
Wells launched a two-run homer in Friday's win over Oakland, picking up career blast No. 200. After the game, Jays manager Cito Gaston presented Wells with the baseball that was hit for the milestone shot. Wells' two RBIs also moved him past Geroge Bell for second on the club's all-time list.
Wells said he'll appreciate such moments after his career is over.
"When I'm done, it'll be neat," he said.
THIRD: Let's step away from the long balls for a moment, shall we?
Gonzalez and Wells got all the postgame love, and will surely be the focus in all the Toronto papers (and on bluejays.com), but right-hander Brandon Morrow also turned in a solid outing for Toronto. Morrow worked six innings, struck out nine and limited the damage to two runs after allowing seven hits and two walks.
A few starts ago, pitching coach Bruce Walton worked with Morrow on lowering his arm slot. It's still a work in progress, but Morrow is getting more comfortable with the change and has looked better over his past three outings.
"My arm's been feeling really good," Morrow said. "Those little tweaks we made a few starts ago, I'm starting to get more comfortable with it. My release point has been really good out of the stretch. It's getting there out of the windup, getting more consistent. And my slider's been great."
HOME: OK, back to the home runs to wrap this up. The Blue Jays have belted a Major League-high 35 homers, producing 53 runs in the process. That accounts for 48.2 percent of the runs Toronto has scored this season. The team average is down, as are the walks and on-base percentage, while the strikeouts are aplenty.
Basically, the Jays are what the are — a team based on power. All-er-nothin'.
Wells had this to say about it…
"It'll be difficult to keep this pace up. We need to start scoring runs in some different ways."
2 Comments
It was hard to believe last night that Morrow has only had 17 career starts. I loved the way he worked out of trouble. His 92-93 mph fastball has nasty movement, then he will hum the odd one in at 95. When he drops his off speed stuff in for strikes, it kind of makes you forget about AJ Burnett, doesn't it? Who?
Yeah Seattle is dumb for giving up Morrow. How can you give a guy with an arm like that up when he's only 25? Not knocking League or anything, but Morrow is a potential ace.
If I'm not mistaken, the 4th inning was the first time the BJs scored a run without using the long ball in 3 games. Were we not last in the AL just a couple seasons ago in homers? This is a little weird….

WASHINGTON, May 7 (UPI) -- Washington Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth has been shelved indefinitely after undergoing surgery to repair a broken wrist, the team said Monday.
Officials said the procedure was performed by Dr. Richard Berger at the Mayo Clinic.
Werth hurt his wrist while attempting to make a diving catch in the outfield during the Philadelphia Phillies' 9-3 win over Washington Sunday.
The team didn't say how long Werth would be out, but breaks of that type usually take 10-to-12 weeks to fully heal. Werth is to begin strengthening exercises in about six weeks and Nationals Manager Davey Johnson said Werth would probably be out for months, The Washington Post reported.
The Nationals outfielder broke the same wrist in 2005, during a spring training game when he played for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2005. He was hit by a pitch from A.J. Burnett and was able to play during the season but underwent surgery and sat out the entire 2006 season due to injuries.
He told the Post in an e-mail Phillies fans at Nationals Stadium taunted him as he left the field in pain.
"After walking off the field feeling nauseous knowing my wrist was broke and hearing Philly fans yelling 'You deserve it,' and, 'That's what you get,' I am motivated to get back quickly and see to it personally those people never walk down Broad Street in celebration again," he wrote.
The Nationals signed Werth to a seven-year deal worth $126 million in December 2010.

The judge overseeing the murder case against accused Aurora movie theater shooter James Holmes has signed off on a defense effort to subpoena a New York-based Fox News reporter over a story the woman wrote.
Holmes' lawyers hope to compel reporter Jana Winter to appear at a Feb. 4 hearing in the case, during which Holmes' attorneys are expected to question her about her sources and ask her to turn over her notes. A judge in New York, though, must also issue an order before Winter would be legally required to attend the hearing.
Holmes' attorneys say they would pay Winter's travel costs.
Winter wrote a story in July about a notebook Holmes sent to his psychiatrist at the University of Colorado. Winter, citing two unnamed law-enforcement sources, reported that the notebook contained violent drawings and details about a murderous plot.
Holmes' attorneys contend that disclosure violated the gag order in the case. When a previous hearing — during which police officers were called to testify — failed to turn up the source of the leak, Holmes' attorneys said they would try to compel Winter to appear in court to reveal her sources.
"Identifying the law enforcement sources who leaked this information to the media is an issue of serious and material importance to the case," Holmes' attorneys wrote this week in a motion seeking a judge's order compelling Winter's appearance.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, have maintained there is no proof that any law enforcement sources actually leaked the information.
"The People do not believe that this has, in any way, been established," they wrote in a motion this week, in which they ultimately did not take a position on the defense's request.
In a statement e-mailed to The Denver Post, Fox News said it would not comment on a pending legal matter.
Holmes is charged with 166 counts of murder, attempted murder and other crimes for the July 20 attack that left 12 dead and 58 more wounded by gunfire. According to a source who spoke to The Denver Post on condition of anonymity, Holmes told his psychiatrist that he fantasized about killing "a lot of people." The psychiatrist, Dr. Lynne Fenton, took her concerns to a campus police officer the month before the theater attack but rejected an offer at that time to place Holmes on a psychiatric hold.

IBM has made available version 2 of its Multicore Software Development Kit for Java, a freely available all-in-one toolkit for the development of parallel programs on multicore platforms. The SDK offers various useful tools -- including those for testing, debugging, and analyzing applications targeting multicore systems -- to help developers and testers to find concurrency errors and locate performance bottleneck in parallel/multi-threaded programs.
The tools are designed for analyzing various concurrency-related problems in the applications which arise due to different types of memory and synchronization errors. Also, the SDK contains tools to do lock analysis and synchronization coverage analysis. Writing scalable and high-performance applications requires detailed analysis and profiling tools to help point out problem areas in the code. The MSDK provides tools to do profiling of all layers of the application execution stack.
The tools in the Multicore SDK include both static and dynamic analysis tools. The following toolsets are included in MSDK 2.0:
- Synchronization Coverage Analysis. A testing tool to figure out whether the different synchronization primitives used in the application code is doing something useful, or whether it is redundant. It is a dynamic tool which uses on-the-fly bytecode rewriting techniques to instrument the application.
- Orange Box Analysis. Useful for debugging program crashes. It provides the last few (configurable) read/write values of variables by each thread. This is a dynamic analysis tool which uses on-the-fly byte code rewriting techniques to instrument the application.
- Race Detection Tool. A debugging tool to detect data races in the application code. This is a dynamic analysis tool which uses on-the-fly byte code rewriting techniques to instrument the application.
- Deadlock Detection Tool. A debugging tool to find deadlocks (and potential deadlocks) in the application code. This is a dynamic analysis tool that uses on-the-fly bytecode rewriting techniques to instrument the application.
- Lock Status Report. Useful for debugging concurrent applications. It provides details about which thread holds, and which lock waits for a lock, and at what point in the code. This is a dynamic tool which uses on-the-fly bytecode instrumentation.
- MHP Analysis. A static analysis tool. It does a may-happen-in-parallel analysis and provides the statements that can execute in parallel. This analysis can be used in conjunction with the Race detector tool to reduce overheads and improve performance.
- Performance Analysis Tool. A detailed performance analysis tool to figure out performance bottlenecks. It instruments the complete application execution stack. Monitoring of the hardware performance counters, various system calls, operating system thread switches, various Java virtual machine functions and user application can be performed. Detailed profiling data can be visualized during application execution and can also be stored to do post-mortem analysis.
All tools are part of an Eclipse environment. The Performance Analysis tool is platform dependent and runs on x86/Linux. The other tools work with IBM Java 5 or higher.

Social networking is bad! (says the Census Bureau)Wednesday, May 19th, 2010
An anonymous Census employee sent SRM a tip about a few flyers the Bureau sent along with their paychecks (finally). One flyer covered driving safety (and please, everyone, do take care while driving). The other covered the ethics of social networking, and unfortunately it came to the conclusion that it's bad. Sorry Morse, time to close up shop! (Note: That was a joke.)
Email excerpt:
It's funny how it is implied that criticizing and talking to outsiders about the incompetence of the census machinery and brass is punishable with jail and fines, when in reality, it only applies to title 13 of USC in regard to respondent information and personally identifiable information. The census own manuals have a section devoted to the rights and protections afforded to whistleblowers. They also imply that because we are paid government employees, that it is unethical for us to publicly humiliate and or expose the ineptness of our employers. Nice try. There is no law preventing anyone from writing in their personal capacity, but it is implied that it is wrong, unethical, and just not cool.
And from the reminder itself (no emphasis added):
CONFIDENTIALITY AND ETHICS REMINDERSocial Networking and Census EmploymentAs personal blogging, tweeting, social networking sites have become more common and popular, itis not unusual for Federal employees to have an opportunity to write about their work and theiremployer in a public forum. Please be aware you cannot disclose any nonpublic information thatis protected by statute. You also cannot receive payments for writing about Census programs oroperations or about assignments you have been given as a Census employee. In addition, youmust be careful to ensure that there is no appearance created that you are writing on behalf of theBureau of the Census, the Department of Commerce, or the United States Government when youare writing in your personal capacity.[...]These restrictions on writing and publications are in addition to the life-time oath you took touphold the confidentiality of census information. Any wrongful disclosure of confidential censusinformation subjects you to a fine up to $250,000, imprisonment up to five years, or both.

NEW RECIPES! [February, 2013] Blueberry Apple Amazake Smoothie / Balsamic Vinaigrette
NEWS! [February, 2013] Article in the Japan Times about Kojiya Honten
Welcome to Kojiya
For eight generations, we have been making handcrafted koji for the people of Saiki in southern Oita Prefecture on the island of Kyushu. Our process is based on traditional methods and techniques passed down from our ancestors to provide high quality koji to our customers.
Koji is steamed rice that has been inoculated with koji spores and is used as a culture to promote fermentation. It is the key component of Japanese staples such as soy sauce, tamari, miso, saké and vinegar.
Over the past five years, we have been committed to promoting the use of koji in the kitchens of today's cooks. In addition to koji and well-known traditional koji-based products such as barley miso, amazaké and ama-koji (amazaké base), we offer shio-koji, an umami-rich seasoning for use in everyday cooking.
We have developed new products and published several cookbooks. We also offer workshops on making miso and cooking with shio-koji and other koji-based products. It is our hope that koji will continue to be an essential ingredient in meal preparation in Japan and that its use will become popular around the world.

There is a great deal of culinary mojo percolating at Ridge Vineyards these days; tendrils of gourmand dew twinkling morning leaves, wisps of foodie mist twisting through siesta trees, an epicurean moon, halo'd with the light of evening kitchens. We're hungry, we're cooking, we're drinking, we're happy.
And more than that, we're sharing. With every cosmic oeno-culinary mash-up we discover, we spread the news!
Right now, I'm talkin' Tagine de Mouton, paired with a new library release, the 2006 Old School.
The wine is fascinating; I'll begin there. For those of you familiar with the Old School, you'll likely know it as a small-production, winery-only bottling traditionally comprised of fruit harvested from blocks at Geyserville that ripen with greater levels of intensity, resulting in a decadently luxuriant wine; rich, powerful, ripe, with multi-layered variations of the sweet and the unctuous. The 2006, however, is quite the noteworthy spin on this model; it's primarily all old-vine fruit, from the Old Patch, harvested in a higher acid, higher tannin year. It's brambly, spicy, and herbal on the nose, dark and decadent and libidinous on the palate, and warm and carnal through the finish. The resulting wine is structured, focused, penetrating, and absolutely rippling with acidity. Meaning what? Meaning that it's an absolutely killer food pairing wine.
Cue the Tagine de Mouton. Translation: Slow-Cooked Lamb with Figs, Raisins, and Almonds. Summary: Delicious.
It's quite the recipe, and it's extraordinary with this wine. The recipe comes to us from Maureen Draper, who is a pianist and author ("The Nature of Music," and "The Music Lovers Anthology of Poetry"), and also happens to be the wife of Paul Draper.
(Slow-cooked lamb with figs, raisins and almonds)
4 pounds boneless lamb shoulder
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
¹/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
¹/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¹/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 onions, minced
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large can pear tomatoes, drained & chopped
chicken stock
¹/2 cup raisins, soaked in water
5 ounces whole blanched almonds
olive oil
16 dried figs
2 cups chicken stock
¹/2 teaspoon ground ginger
¹/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons honey
Trim the lamb of excess fat and cut into large cubes. In a heavy pan, slowly warm the spices in butter and olive oil. Coat the lamb in the spice mixture and continue to cook for 3 – 4 minutes, stirring now and then. Add the onions, garlic, tomatoes, and enough stock to bring the liquid to a level no more than half that of the meat. Increase the heat and bring to a boil. Then decrease to a bare simmer, cover and cook for 1¹/2 – 2 hours. Add the raisins, and continue to cook until lamb is very tender. Cool and refrigerate if you are not planning to serve within an hour, or so.
Lightly brown almonds in a little olive oil. Set aside.
Bring chicken stock and spices to a boil. Add figs, and simmer, covered, until moist and tender.
To serve:
Remove any solidified fat from the lamb, add honey and warm slowly. Add figs, and stir to coat. If sauce is too thin, let it reduce. Transfer to a warmed serving platter. Warm the almonds in a dry pan and scatter over the lamb and fruit. —MD

Sometimes the first symptom of a serious heart problem is sudden cardiac death (SCD). Silent heart conditions may exist, surfacing with fatal results. The tragedy is heightened when victims are young, seemingly healthy, athletes. Many U.S. school districts now require high school athletes to submit to a pre-participation physical exam before being allowed to play sports. That exam may include an electrocardiogram (ECG) to screen for heart abnormalities that could lead to SCD. But a study by the University of Houston finds that the practice may not accurately detect such abnormalities and may not be an efficient use of time or money.
"Using our statistical model, which is based on information and estimates in published reports, about 16 percent of high school athletes would have a positive ECG, but very few of those would actually have the cardiac abnormalities that could lead to SCD," said Dan O'Connor, assistant professor of health and human performance. "Total costs for the screening and subsequent medical follow-ups for those athletes could be in the millions of dollars annually across the United States."
O'Connor, who investigates the effectiveness of clinical interventions by applying biostatistical methods, used data from the National Federation of High School Associations and the U.S. Census Bureau School Enrollment in addition to a number of medical articles. He entered this information into mathematical equations to evaluate what might happen if all high school athletes received an ECG at their pre-participation exam.
"We are not suggesting that young athletes shouldn't exercise caution before beginning a sport. Certainly they should have a physical examination before playing, as recommended by a number of medical associations," he said. "However, we are encouraging athletic trainers, coaches, physicians and parents to be aware of what the ECG's results may convey - you will find a few athletes who have serious conditions, but you are going to get a lot of apparent abnormalities in normal, healthy kids."
O'Connor says there are a number of issues with ECG testing in teenagers, which include interpreting the results, differences in children's ECGs relative to adults and the rarity of serious heart conditions. O'Connor says when ECG is used for all young athletes, these issues combine to lead to a large number of "false positives," or athletes with abnormal ECGs who are actually healthy and at no risk for SCD.
"For example, for every teenage boy who actually has a cardiac abnormality and who is identified by ECG screening, about 50 boys with no abnormalities may have a positive ECG, which will often require further medical testing to rule out disease," O'Connor said. "If we add up the estimated total costs of administering the ECG and the subsequent medical tests for false positive results of the 2 to 3 million athletes entering high school each year in the U.S., it could exceed $126 million."
The "cost" of testing everyone, he said, would be evident not only in money, but in psychological stress of being falsely-labeled with a potentially fatal condition, and in the time an athlete may be removed from his/her sport in order to pursue costly follow-up exams. O'Connor says he hopes his study provides some reasonable expectations about adding ECG to pre-participation exams.
"A better strategy may be to test only those athletes who are at highest risk, such as those with a family history of heart problems or premature death, as well as other known risk factors," he said. "More study is needed of large populations of high school athletes, followed for many years, to determine the real prevalence of cardiac abnormalities, the occurrence and risk of sudden cardiac death and the accuracy of electrocardiograms in this setting."
The study is published in the June issue of Journal of Athletic Training.

Industrialist, record-setting aviator, movie mogul, recluse — Howard Hughes was one of the most accomplished and mysterious figures America has ever produced . . . and, in the end, one of the most pitiable.
An almost preposterously wealthy and dashing figure of the 1930s, Hughes was an engineering prodigy who, even as a young boy growing up in Texas, pushed the proverbial envelope. In 1916, when he was 11, he built the first radio transmitter ever used in Houston. He was forever tinkering with engines and electrical devices, re-designing and making them more efficient, more powerful, more useful, better.
By the time he was in his early 20s, he had discovered another lucrative talent, and was living the high life in Los Angeles, producing movies. And in everything he did, whether backing films or flying and engineering fast (and faster, and faster) planes, Hughes was a hands-on kind of guy.
When contracted by the U.S. government in the mid-1940s to build a military transport plane, he responded in his usual modest style and set about creating the H-4 Hercules, a massive wooden plane later famously dubbed the "Spruce Goose" which would, when completed, be the largest flying machine ever built. (The plane was actually made of birch, not spruce: the contract required that the aircraft be built of "non-strategic materials" during the war. But the catchy nickname — which Hughes always hated — stuck.)
Despite its enormous size, the Hercules was meant to be flown with a crew of only three people. Its planned "cargo," meanwhile, was beyond impressive: up to 750 fully equipped military troops, or one 35-ton M4 Sherman tank.
"I want to be remembered for only one thing," the billionaire once said, "and that's my contribution to aviation."
Before long, however, his contributions — as well as his integrity and his honesty — would be severely questioned by elected officials who never had much use for the flamboyant Hughes. In 1947, for example, he was compelled to testify before a Senate committee led by Sen. Owen Brewster (R-Maine). Brewster effectively accused Hughes — at the time, the head of TWA, in addition to his myriad other projects and businesses — of misusing $40 million in government funds during the development of two planes: the Hughes Aircraft XF-11 and the H-4 (the Spruce Goose), neither of which was ever successfully delivered to the government.
During the hearings, which ended inconclusively, Hughes stirringly defended his work on the H-4, in particular:
"The Hercules was a monumental undertaking," he testified. "It is the largest aircraft ever built . . . I put the sweat of my life into this thing. I have my reputation rolled up in it and I have stated several times that if it's a failure I'll probably leave this country and never come back. And I mean it."
Brewster claimed that the H-4 was a classic and disgraceful boondoggle and would never, ever fly. On November 2, 1947, for a few minutes at least, Hughes famously proved him wrong. With co-pilot Dave Grant and assorted engineers and mechanics, Hughes flew the monumental plane (its wingspan of 320 feet remains the largest in history) for about a mile, roughly 70 feet above Long Beach Harbor. The plane never flew again — but Hughes felt vindicated.
All the controversy and political palaver around the plane's construction, meanwhile, obscured something about the H-4 that, to this day, is often overlooked in any discussion of the mammoth aircraft: namely, its sheer, sleek aesthetic power. Putting aside for a moment the technical complexities and challenges inherent in designing a flying vessel the size of the Hercules, one can do a lot worse than focus on the beauty of the thing. As an object, the Hercules looks like something Brancusi might sculpt — if the great Romanian artist dabbled in aeronautics and wished to create a work 220 feet long, 25 feet high and 30 feet wide.
Here, LIFE.com offers a series of photos — many of which never ran in LIFE — of the largest "flying boat" ever built and the aviation genius who designed and flew her.
As the years passed, Hughes retreated deeper into a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, drug abuse and the debilitating, deadening isolation for which he later became so famous. By the time of his lonely death in April 1976, he had devolved from a rakish, even debonair man of the world into a skeletal wreck. Postmortem x-rays revealed hypodermic needles (likely used to inject codeine, to help manage his chronic pain) embedded in Hughes' arms. His six-foot, four-inch frame weighed roughly 90 pounds. His hair and nails had grown freakishly long. He was wholly and frighteningly unrecognizable. He was 70 years old.

text: Adventure Time, for those not in the know, is a profoundly weird, sometimes disturbing cartoon. It is a world where dogs shift shape at will, where bears throw kickass raves inside the bellies of giant monsters. There's an Adventure Time game on the way in November for Nintendo 3DS, but it doesn't look too weird – more like a standard action game with some role-playing influences. Fun, but where's the insanity? From Sept. 14 to 16, nearly 700 game designers participated in Fantastic Arcade's Adventure Time Gamemaking Frenzy," an online "game jam" organized by indie developers in Texas and officially blessed by the show's creators. In 48 hours, they churned out around 100 out-of-the-box game concepts as unpredictable as the show. Brandon Boyer, co-organizer of the Frenzy and founder of Venus Patrol, says that both he and Adventure Time's creator Pendleton Ward wanted to see some "crazier" games based on the series. After some pushing, Cartoon Network gave the event its blessing. To get developers from around the world feeling like they were part of a big event, Frenzy introduced the Beautiful Mess Organizer, named after a character on the show who happens to be a living handheld game machine. It allowed developers to chat with each other as they worked, then immediately push their creations live. Here are 8 of the most intriguing games that emerged from the two-day hackathon. Above: AdventureWare Aping Nintendo's WarioWare series, this throws a bunch of a completely random "microgames" at players at increasing speed. Creator Jonathan Levstein says his team originally planned on producing three or four games for the event, which might explain why this one is so full of different experiences. (The Ice King stage stressed me out. Man, I hate that guy.)Adventure Time Crystal Cave Coin Party! There's something inherently scary about a group of faceless drones honing in on you, and Crystal Cave Coin Party! is a simple coin-collection-a-thon that plays on that. The little blue guys don't actually seem to deal damage to players, but they make it harder to get a high score.Noire Time Point-and-click adventure fans have every right to get excited about this one. Noire Time was created entirely by one guy, but features wonderful 2-D art and a fun -- if small -- set of puzzles. Its designer Michael Moore says he spent the entire first night making artwork, leaving little time left for the gameplay.Princess Bubblegum's Slumber Party I didn't expect to see a fighting game created, but here it is -- a pillow-fighting game featuring Princess Bubblegum. I'm absolutely terrible at it, and the AI opponent is sort of relentless. If you don't dodge her attacks at just the right moment, she'll totally destroy you. Generally she'll wait for you to move in and attack first, and then she'll crush you with a volley of pillow attacks.Lumpy Space Chess Lumpy Space Chess may have "Chess" right in the name, but the only similarity between this game and traditional chess is that you have to capture the other player's king. The game lets you earn coins during play, and you can use those coins to buy new pieces. (Download this HTML 5 game and open it in a browser to play.)Stretchy Powers! Not so much of a "game" as it is a musical toy, Stretchy Powers! gets cool points for being compatible with most any tablet. You grab and stretch Jake's limbs out, and depending on their length they'll play different notes when "plucked" with the the mouse or your finger.Super Jake Snake Super Jake Snake uses the control mechanic from that old, old game Snake in a unique way: Since Jake's leg is the "snake," it fits in perfectly with the Adventure Time universe. This is complemented with some sweet chiptune music. Co-designer Jonatan Van Hove says the team has added a secret 9th level to the game that is extremely difficult. Click on Jake's nose in the main menu to try it. Van Hove says they'll give a reward to the first person to send a screenshot of the completed level.Adventure Time: The Quest for the Two Chests! The Quest for the Two Chests!'s creator said that he had to scale back his original plans drastically. The result is a surprisingly fun Zelda-style adventure ... that only takes a few minutes to beat. But its hilarious writing makes it a must-play.

"Practice what you preach" was the Golden Rule in my parent's house. These days, this adage seems less a rule and more a relic of the past.
Clearly few of our national leaders follow this rule. The same could be said of our most highly valued business leaders as well.
Whatever happened to the law that a celebrity couldn't endorse a product unless that celebrity really used that product? Clearly that's gone the way of Don Draper's career and Orson Welles's need not to drink a wine "before its time."
As those who read my articles may or may not be aware, I've written about bitcoins both in articles on MarketWatch and as a co-author on one of the first books to examine the topic, "What's the Deal with Bitcoins?"
In line with my work regarding retirement, I've discussed the potential for bitcoins as a potential "alternative investment" for retirement portfolios. Most asset allocation models advise that a properly allocated retirement portfolio should have a small (read this again — small) part of that portfolio in a class of investments called alternative investments. These "recommended" numbers can range from 5% to 20% of the portfolio (please remember that any portfolio allocation should be a personalized decision based upon your own needs and level of risk — don't rely on recommended numbers).
However, it isn't even clear if you could actually classify bitcoins as an alternative investment. Most current alternative investments focus on currencies, hedge funds, private equity, commodities or real estate. Many people familiar with bitcoins will state that it falls into the currency or commodity category. However the U.S. government recently decided that bitcoins aren't currencies (those phony Ben Franklins from recent bank ads were noted to have breathed a sigh of relief from this decision) but are property and they can be taxed similar to transactions related to other properties such as real estate and well, uh, stocks and bonds.
It seems that if the Fed plans on profiting from bitcoins, why can't an American citizen do the same? Just as the government shares in our profits from real estate, stocks and bonds, you begin to think that bitcoins may not be so "alternative" after all.
So if I'm looking to live up to what I'm preaching (or at least writing) about bitcoins, maybe I need to "practice" it as well.
It was after watching a documentary about one of my heroes of "real" journalism, George Plimpton, that I came to a conclusion. For those who don't remember, George Plimpton was a writer who would tackle a subject by "living" it. When he wanted to write about being a professional baseball pitcher, he actually became one. He took this same approach to writing about being a professional football player, boxed Sugar Ray Robinson and played hockey with the Boston Bruins. He even tried to create the world's biggest firework — all so that he could write about his experiences. To him, it wasn't only the best way to get the story, but it was the most honest way to relate to his readers.
Now, let's be clear, I'm no George Plimpton, nor will I ever play him on TV. But, I think we need a good old dose of his attitude mixed with some old time advertising ethics in today's financial journalism.
So, I decided that I will find a way to invest my own actual funds in bitcoins as part of my retirement portfolio. I've owned and used bitcoins as currency in the past, but have not used them as an investment in my retirement account. Should be easy, right?
It was probably easier for George Plimpton to play tennis against Pancho Gonzales, but in my next article I'll discuss the realities of trying to find a suitable way to invest bitcoins for my own retirement account — while trying to convince my wife, my financial adviser and even myself that it makes sense.
Plimpton, by the way, was demolished in that match.

My Disaster Lyrics
You've crossed the line, you're running in circles, now you've lost all self control. You medicate so you can fall asleep. Your mind just won't shut down. I wonder where you are. I wonder if you've found your other self or are you still somebody else? There's so much bottled up inside. And it's been shaken up it's going to explode. You can't stop it, you just can't stop it. You say you're done. You swear you've gave it up. Running in circles you don't even care that you're going nowhere. You hate yourself. I still wonder where you are. I wonder if the thorns still in your side, will you pull it out in time? And now it starts to overflow, and spill its guts and ruins someone's soul. You can't stop it, you just can't stop it. You are my disaster I cant stop chasing after. You're my disaster, I can't stop chasing you.

News of an oil leak within the Gulf of Thailand broke on the morning of Saturday, July 27, with reports that 50,000 litres of crude oil had leaked from a pipeline operated by PTT Global Chemical Public Limited just 20 kilometers southeast from the Map Ta Phut seaport of Rayong Province.
PTT's reaction in the Bangkok Post, however, appears to be untruthful: "A naval plane surveyed the affected area in the sea and found the spill was noticeably shrinking and the remaining oil slick was thin. The company confirmed the slick was contained and oil-spill dispersants were being sprayed. PTTGC said it expected the mission would be completed Sunday".
But given how unlikely this scenario was, we decided to set up a team to go to Rayong and assess and bear witness to the real situation.
By Monday, the oil slick had already landed on Ao Prao Bay of Koh Samet, which was once the most beautiful beaches on the island. When we arrived, the first thing I noticed was the strong toxic fumes in the air. It was impossible to breathe without a mask and my head started spinning.
When we moved in closer to the site, I could see hundreds of men in white jumpsuits working on a completely black terrain. It was like we were no longer on earth. The bay was completely blackened; the ocean had turned to a sea of black thick oil.
There were men standing in lines with buckets in their hands, the oil was being scooped out of the ocean manually and passed along the line to be dumped in a container. Next to them, there were several small-sized water pumps, pumping the oil from the waves into containers. On the beach there was also white paper being laid out to absorb the oil from the sand. One single steamer was used to steam rocks on the beach to get rid of oil stains.
It was lunchtime and the men were going to rest – at which point we were given another surprise by learning that these men were from the Thai navy. None of them were employees of PTT, the company that had caused this horrible accident.
The people I saw who were wearing PTT logos were walking around answering questions and observing the clean-up rather than actually doing the clean-up work.
By Tuesday, the oil slick had already reached mainland Rayong. Marine life was dying from unnatural causes and fishermen were complaining that the fish had disappeared. The situation was far from over or resolved – in contradiction to what PTT was saying. In fact, it was far more severe than I ever expected it to be.
This should not have happened to our ocean, an important source of food and income for Thailand. How can this ever be fixed? We can only hope that PTT will take full responsibility for this unforgivable accident and restore both the natural resources and the community's livelihoods. PTT must be held accountable for both the short and long-term effects of this oil spill.
Take action
Sign our petition to demand that PTT takes responsibility for the cost of restoring the natural environment and for the Thailand government to review its energy policy and cease oil exploration and drilling in the Gulf of Thailand.

The Americans are running a crime syndication using the brainwashing technology. The Middle-east has shown its intelligence by removing American embassies. Americans are killing people of color inorder to preserve anglo-judao images. The people of color in America believe that they will be able to over power the American anglos, however, the people of color won't acknowledge that the anglos brainwashing black boys to call themselves the "N" word and wear their pants around their ankles. These groups are imprisoned within their own countries where people of non-color move about comfortable and usurp laws while still ruling those of color. The Americans are running a crime syndication in San Francisco headed by the court system, FBI, and local police. The community is covering up the crime syndication while moving a larger population in. AT&T has participated in attempt to attack to coverup their participation in the crime syndication. Lawyers are using the technology and covering up. Try to begin an open dialog about the technology in you area or San Francisco. You will be brainwashed. You will wait until its to late, like the middle-east to resist, and the brainwashers will have done great damage already, including taking life.

Born in New York in 1942, Martin Scorsese began making films in the 1960s and has since produced some of the most memorable films in cinema history. From the iconic Taxi Driver to Academy Award-winner The Departed, his films provide an often violent but intriguing perspective on American culture.
Martin Scorsese(born Nov. 17, 1942, Flushing, Long Island, N.Y., U.S.) American filmmaker known for his harsh, often violent depictions of American culture.
Scorsese was a frail, asthmatic child who grew up in an Italian American neighbourhood on the Lower East Side of Manhattan in New York City. His early interest in film returned after he tried unsuccessfully to enter the Roman Catholic priesthood, and he went on to earn undergraduate (1964) and graduate (1966) degrees in filmmaking from New York University. His student films showed a wide range of influences, from foreign classics to Hollywood musicals.
Scorsese's first theatrical film, Who's That Knocking at My Door? (1968), is an intimate portrayal of life in the streets of New York's Little Italy, where he grew up. After editing some sequences for Woodstock (1969) and directing Boxcar Bertha (1972) for Roger Corman, Scorsese in 1973 won critical attention with Mean Streets, which examines the conflict between church and street life in Little Italy. Filled with violent sequences, rapid-fire dialogue, and blaring rock music, the film was typical of his early work in its realistic detail and its naturalistic, partially improvised performances—particularly that of Robert De Niro, the actor most associated with Scorsese's films. In 1974, in response to the accusation that he couldn't make a "woman's picture," Scorsese directed Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, which follows a recently widowed woman (Ellen Burstyn in an Oscar-winning performance) and her son across the West in their loose, episodic journey of self-discovery.
Scorsese's Taxi Driver (1976), a brutal, uncompromising film that starred De Niro as a lonely, psychopathic New York cabbie, was filled with some of the most violent sequences committed to film to that time; many rank it as Scorsese's best work. De Niro costarred with Liza Minnelli in Scorsese's next film, New York, New York (1977), which explores the troubled romantic relationship between a young jazz saxophonist and a female vocalist in the decade after World War II. Although flawed and overlong, the film developed a cult following largely because of Scorsese's affection for old Hollywood, evident in his use of studio sets and nonnaturalistic lighting. In a change of pace, Scorsese next made The Last Waltz (1978), a documentary film of the breakup and final concert of the rock group the Band.
Raging Bull (1980), one of Scorsese's finest films, recounts the violent public and private life of a boxer, based on the real-life prizefighter Jake La Motta and portrayed by De Niro, who won an Oscar for the film. The King of Comedy (1983) depicts an aspiring stand-up comedian (De Niro) who kidnaps a television star (Jerry Lewis) in order to achieve the fame that obsesses him. Scorsese's darkly comic After Hours (1985) attracted a large cult following, while The Color of Money (1986), a sequel to The Hustler (1961), proved a box-office bonanza and an Oscar winner for its star, Paul Newman. The Last Temptation of Christ (1988), based on a novel by Níkos Kazantzákis, scandalized many Christians with its depiction of Christ as tormented and unsure of his role as the Messiah.
Scorsese returned to more familiar subject matter in GoodFellas (1990), a realistic depiction of the amoral and violent lives of three New York mobsters. In the 1990s Scorsese's choice of subject matter was both eclectic and expected, ranging from the crime thriller Cape Fear (1991) to an adaptation of Edith Wharton's romantic classic The Age of Innocence (1993) and from characteristic fare such as Casino (1995) and Bringing Out the Dead (1999) to Kundun (1997), a lavish period piece that chronicles the life of the 14th Dalai Lama. Beginning with Gangs of New York (2002), a historical epic of the New York underworld in the mid-19th century, Scorsese made a number of films with American actor Leonardo DiCaprio. Among their subsequent collaborations were the Howard Hughes biopic The Aviator (2004), the Boston mob drama The Departed (2006), and the gothic thriller Shutter Island (2010). For The Departed Scorsese won his first Academy Award for best director; the film was also named best picture.
In the early 21st century Scorsese directed two musical documentaries: No Direction Home: Bob Dylan (2005), a wide-ranging exploration of the iconic singer-songwriter that was produced for public television, and Shine a Light (2008), a concert film starring the Rolling Stones, whose music was frequently featured in Scorsese's narrative films. In 2010 he branched out further into television as the executive producer of Boardwalk Empire, an HBO drama series about gangsters in Atlantic City, N.J., during Prohibition.
Despite the diversity in his chosen subject matter, Scorsese's work contains common elements. His simultaneous fondness for and rebellion against old Hollywood is demonstrated by exploring anew clichéd plot devices that often culminate in bleak irony and moral ambiguity. He has been praised for his use of the subjective camera to portray the protagonist's point of view, an approach characterized by such subtle touches as right-to-left camera pans that move contrary to normal eye movement, thereby creating a slightly disconcerting effect and suggesting a subjectively distorted world. In all, Scorsese's films tend to be concerned with people rather than plots, and he is fond of placing his characters in volatile situations and allowing events to unfold naturally, as determined by the characters' instincts, lusts, and obsessions. One of the most important filmmakers of the late 20th and early 21st centuries, Scorsese reflects in his work both a cynicism toward modern culture and an obvious love of the cinema.
The recipient of numerous awards, Scorsese received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2007 and a Cecil B. DeMille Award (a Golden Globe for lifetime achievement) in 2010.

When we visited Boston Yacht Haven Inn & Marina in mid-September, kayakers Dave and Amy Freeman were spending a couple of nights. They were taking a break from their continuous paddle from Grand Portage, Minn., to Key West, Fla., via the Great Lakes, the St. Lawrence River, and the Atlantic Coast.
The Haven must have felt like heaven.
Hiding in plain sight at the end of Commercial Wharf, the compact hotel could feel like heaven to anyone — not just ocean kayakers eager for a hot shower and crisp linens. The marina complex at the edge of the North End has more than 100 slips, including 15 berths for mega-yachts, so it is well known among the deep-water cruising community. It's a fair bet that the Freemans' kayaks were among the smallest craft to ever use the facility.
Boaters book it to get a break from marine toilets and tight sleeping quarters, and international visitors often find the rooms through online hotel booking sites (www.booking.com features the inn prominently, while other search engines bury it deep in a list of Boston hotels). This fall the place has been busy with parents and teens visiting prospective colleges.
Built during the Big Dig days, the inn received a complete overhaul in 2009. The 10 clean-lined rooms have a vaguely nautical motif that avoids the clichés of anchor-pattern wallpaper or ship's bells at every turn. Beds are four-poster queens and kings painted a crisp white and dressed with heavy white sheets and navy-and-white patterned throws. A new heating and ventilation system gives each room individual climate control.
The two most popular rooms are 203 and 206: mirror-image, 750-square-foot corner suites with high beamed ceilings and harbor-side balconies. Each room is equipped with coffee machine, microwave oven, small refrigerator, Internet access, and large flat-screen television. The large windows — and outdoor balcony seating when the weather permits — make 203 and 206 perfect for watching boat traffic in the harbor. Indeed, all the guest rooms except 209 have harbor views. That room overlooks the Boston skyline.
The 200-square-foot penthouse (Room 210) is a little hideaway. What the king-bedded room lacks in size, it makes up for with a 180-degree wraparound balcony. We can imagine that guests might be tempted to never leave the room, since they can enjoy breakfast with sunrise on the harbor, follow the light across the day with a city view, and watch the sun go down over the harbor at night. But stunning black-and-white photographs of Boston landmarks are scattered throughout the inn, and they are bound to inspire visitors to go out and explore.
The common areas of the inn are small, all the better to interact with fellow travelers who have interesting tales to tell. The Captain's Lounge is equipped with a pool table and a massive flat-screen television with the complete DIRECTV sports package. The lounge has comfortable chairs and a Keurig coffee machine for freshly brewed java around the clock. The exercise machines of the gym look out on the harbor through the privacy of reflective glass.
Boston Yacht Haven serves continental breakfast to its guests but has no other food service. That's hardly a hardship, since Joe's American Bar & Grill is on the other end of the wharf, and City Landing and Legal Sea Foods are a five-minute stroll in one direction, the restaurants of the North End a five-minute stroll in the other.
