DBD 1.27.12 - Just Some Stuff I Never Got Around to Posting

Hey, who wants to talk about Christmas and the Holiday Bowl? Anyone? Anyone? If this is too long, borrrrrring or irrelevant, just delete it...

So I had sort of a crazy 10-day span over the holidays... First Sandy invited me to the UNLV game with her in Vegas... we had lunch at the Hard Rock, went to the game... I mean, it was sort of crazy to be hangin' in Vegas with the AD! Can you imagine if this had been Rishi! So while the game sort of sucked, I did have a close-up encounter with Tark the Shark who was looking VERY old... (yes, he IS very old...).

During introductions they shoot off a bunch of fireworks, all of which I managed to miss with my camera... so you have to trust me this is the result of really cool fireworks going off and not some tragic event about to happen (you would have heard about it)

I was sitting close enough to offer some suggestions, but as Sandy was sitting next to me I decided not to...

Here we are about to run a play that will result in a missed shot ( I think, but I feel safe that it is what happened)

Game was just about over but Monty was still working the refs...

So that was the game, I dropped Sandy off at the airport and headed back to the Venetian. By the way, if you ever want to go to Vegas for SUPER cheap, the week of Christmas is the week. My suite at the Venetian was $60... The highlight for me was the Christmas tree... I was absolutely mesmerized by it... Check out this video I took of it... Click on the photo... seriously I could not stop looking at this thing....

The next morning I passed these folks on the Strip...

So then it was off to the Holiday Bowl... I swung by the heart of inner Orange County to pick-up Atoms and off we went to San Diego, no top on the Jeep! I got a free ticket to go to the Holiday Bowl Luncheon... you know, it was really cool... Even had I had to pay for it I would have thought so... It was in huge ballroom at the San Diego Convention Center... I would guess the crowd was 65 / 35 Cal / Texas. Everyone was sitting at round tables and at each table there were two players... very cool. At our table were Cecil Whiteside and Steven Fanua. I didn't get to talk with Fanua too much but sat next to Whiteside and we talked the whole time. What a great representative of Cal... articulate, social, totally comfortable in that environment. Count be impressed.

So here is a little video of the Cal Band playing....

Atoms and I headed to the hotel to check in and meet up with our other friends and then it was off to the Hilton for the pep rally... The whole team and staff were there

via a5.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net

And of course the Cal Band played...And for some reason the sound goes out but you can at least get a feel for the setting...

After the rally we headed to dinner at Blue Water Seafood Market and Grill for some GREAT fish tacos and seafood... Atoms back me up here...

via a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net

After dinner we dropped friends off at hotel and Atoms and I headed out for part of the Cal pub crawl through the Gas Lamp district... it was a blast and I was impressed with how many Cal folks were out and it was great seeing the Band (though you can barely see them in this photo)

via a1.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net

The next day a quick airport run and then we met up at The Mission in North Park for what I think is the world's best French Toast!

via a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net

And then it was off to the game... We stopped by CalBandGreat's most excellent tailgate!!! What a lot of fun that was and so much fun for me to reconnect with folks from back in my days. Thanks CBG!

Then we settled into our seats and that is pretty much where this part of our story ends...

Atoms lucked out because I somehow managed to lose my voice so the drive back to OC was FiatLuxTalkingFree.... We stopped off in San Clemente to do a little shopping (Atoms got a dashing pair of sun glasses!) and passed this guy (seriously).. This photo would have been so much better had we won!

via a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net

We then stopped off in South Coast Plaza to do some 1%erish stuff, and then I dropped Atoms off at his abode and there you go...

I'm running out of steam here, but I then headed up to the UCLA game... I was pleasantly surprised to see such a big line outside

via a6.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net

There I got to meet up with Cugel and Son, some other old folks and I sat front row in the student section... I posted this in another thread but these folks were behind us and stood up and yelled the ENTIRE game... they are my heroes!

OK, that's it... one last photo... I just love this... it's the sad sad state of UCLA basketball right now... here is their temporary home at the LA Sports Arena... You can see, they really went all out on making UCLA feel at home...

It's a cool DBD

But don’t be worried if the DBD is “boring”. We’ve gone through some terrible DBDs (Japanese School Girl Fahion) before, so even if this were a DBD literally saying the word “gin” 150 times, that’d be fine.

The pricing here is weird. Its 200 for 20 games, so 10 bucks a game. Tix normally are 10 a game. However, if you are a senior, its 5 a game. But there isnt a senior season ticket.

They need to redo the pricing on this methinks.

Track heads to Seattle:

THIS WEEK IN CAL TRACK & FIELD: California makes the first of three scheduled visits to Seattle this weekend for the UW Invitational. The two-day meet runs Friday and Saturday at the Dempsey Indoor facility on the University of Washington campus.

The Golden Bears will return to Seattle for the Husky Indoor Classic Feb. 10-11 and the MPSF Championships Feb. 24-25.

As opposed to the team’s opening competition at the Cherry & Silver Invitational last week, where the Bears concentrated on sprints and jumps, a number of distance runners will gain their initial indoor experience of the season. In addition, multi-eventer Idarre Coles will participate in his first heptathlon of 2012.

Events get underway at 1 p.m. Friday and resume at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Last year at the UW Invite, Hammed Suleman won both the long jump and triple jump, while Collin Jarvis captured the 3000 meters in a PR 7:59.85, a time the puts him fifth on Cal’s all-time performer list.

WomGym to take on Davis:



BERKELEY – The California women’s gymnastics team will meet UC Davis twice over the next two weeks, opening competition with the Aggies and Seattle Pacific in Davis on Friday at 7 p.m. inside the Pavilion. The Bears will host UC Davis next Sunday (Feb. 5) inside Haas Pavilion.

Cal scored a season-high 194.050 in its last competition, at Arizona State, last Friday. The Bears (1-2) have increased their team total by nearly two full points each meet this season.

Junior Madisyn O’Brien is averaging a team-best score of 38.542 in the all-around through three meets, while fellow all-arounder Mariesah Pierce is averaging an all-around score of 38.483 in 2012. Pierce is coming off a season-high score of 9.875 in the floor exercise to claim first-place honors in the event at ASU last Friday. O’Brien led Cal in the vault with a score of 9.800 to tie for second overall in the event in last Friday’s meet.

Junior Nicolette Lew has led the Bears on the balance beam with an average score of 9.813 each of the last two meets.

Softball Q+A:

BERKELEY – While many student-athletes were spending their first half of December studying for finals and then spending time with their families, freshman Cheyenne Cordes was chasing gold in South Africa with the U.S. junior national team. At the International Softball Federation Junior Women’s World Championship, the Americans defeated Japan 4-1 in the title match to secure gold and finish the tournament with a 10-1 record. In South Africa, Cordes started all 11 games and paced the U.S. squad with 15 hits, 12 RBI, 28 total bases and slugging 1.077. Cordes also spent a good chunk of her summer playing with the junior team, facing off against current teammate Valerie Arioto on several occasions. CalBears.com chatted up Cordes about the last six months with USA/ASA Softball, especially about winning gold in South Africa.

CalBears.com: What was the overall experience in South Africa like for you?

CC: My experience in South Africa was one that I will never forget. South Africa was such a wonderful place to hold a world championship. I learned a lot, met a lot of people and won a gold medal.

CalBears.com: What was the food like in South Africa?

CC: The food in South Africa was very similar to food here in the USA, only I feel it is better there. They eat a lot of fruits and veggies, but they also have fast food like McDonalds and KFC.

CalBears.com: What was the softball experience like for you?

CC: The softball experience was great. We played a lot of games against many different countries. It is always interesting to see how people play and teach the game in other countries.

I think she's fine

First, her show is watchable which is my first criteria for those things. No refrigerators decorated like race cars or weird-ass cocktails and tablescapes.

Most of her stuff seems French or French inspired with cream, butter, etc. Not as obscenely as Paula Deen but still pretty unhealthy. I think her pastries and breads are the best stuff she makes, even though I don’t ever make them.

Second, there’s a definite Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous vibe to enjoy, as she pops down to West Hampton to buy caviar to have a nice picnic to cram down Jeffrey’s gullet when he tools back from Manhattan in his convertible BMW.

And the show itself is really pleasant, nice music, pretty outdoor shots of her 500 acre garden and so on.

Funny craigslist ad that Avi sent me:



I desperately need to learn about football between now and next week’s Super Bowl game. Preferably from someone who was a quarterback in college or the pros, but at the very least someone who knows a lot about quarterbacks.

My girlfriend and I were just invited to a Super Bowl party at her ex-boyfriend’s apartment, and to be honest, last time I met him he told me he played football in college and I responded that I did as well —which was a lie.

I don’t know why I lied, I guess I just panicked and wanted to impress my girlfriend. Anyway. He asked me what position I played and I told him I played quarterback because that was really the only position I’d heard of.

I really don’t know anything about football except for the fact that touchdowns how you score points and sometimes you kick the ball. I’ve been reading articles on ESPN.com and watching clips online but I don’t think it’s going to prepare me for questions about actually playing it, or for making good comments during the game. So I need someone who can quickly teach me about all of things I would have learned playing football as well as what to say about it.

This person MUST be available each day between now and the Super Bowl game (February 5, 2012), some time between 7-9pm on weekdays or afternoons on Saturday.

The easy troll (example above).

Or the long, subtle troll? Basically, explain all the rules correctly… but mix up the terms “offense” and “defense”. Explain it from the perspective of the linemen, so it makes sense. The line in front of the QB is stopping the line rushing in, so they’re “defending” the QB and are thus the defense.

The latter would be superbly entertaining as he slowly broke down at the ex-bf’s party.

If they’re shoplifting for criminal reasons, they’re more likely to give up and leave.

It’s about 2 o’clock ,and you know how things look in a bar about two o’clock.. well there’s a panda bear and a prostitute sitting together, and the woman asks if he would like to go home with her.. the panda bear looks her over and says sure.. so they go to her place they have a good time and the panda bear gets up to leave, when the prostitute yells ,“where do you think you’re going?” the panda bear answers that he is going home, the woman then explains that she is a prostitute and the panda bear answers that he knows but he is a panda bear.. they can’t see eye to eye on it so they decide to look it up in WEBSTER’s … they look up prostitute: a woman that gets paid for sexual favors, the panda bear answers that yes he knew that, now look up panda bear: a black and white bear that eats bushes and leaves.

No need. Just order a “martini”. If the bartender askes “gin or vodka”, you spit right in his or her face and yell “that is a stupid effing question!!!”
P.s. this is why Bond always says “Vodka martini, shaken, not stirred” instead of “Martini, shaken, not stirred”.

Well, if you shake a gin martini, you fail.

Also, James Bond actually orders a Vesper martini.

Three measures of Gordon’s, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it’s ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel.

U.S. Economy Grows 2.8%, Less Than Forecast

zz top

The U.S. economy expanded less than forecast in the fourth quarter as consumers curbed spending and government agencies cut back, validating the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates low for a longer period.

Gross domestic product, the value of all goods and services produced, climbed at a 2.8 percent annual pace following a 1.8 percent gain in the prior quarter, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. The median forecast of 79 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News called for a 3 percent increase.

Growth was still the fastest since the second quarter of 2010, showing that the world’s largest economy has so far withstood the effects of the credit crisis in Europe. Fed officials this week said they were concerned about the economy’s lack of vigor two years after the last recession ended, prompting a pledge to keep interest rates low into 2014.

"We’re going into 2012 with less momentum than people were thinking," said Michael Hanson, a senior U.S. economist at Bank of America Corp. in New York. "Income growth was modest and the savings rate came down, and those are not sustainable ways to get consumers to contribute going forward."

NorCar to debut SUPER Wi-Fi:

Lucky residents of Wilmington, N.C., will be the first in the nation to have access to a “Super Wi-Fi” network.

Officials from New Hanover County, N.C., announced today that they had become the first in the United States to deploy a mobile data network on so-called “white spaces” spectrum that the Federal Communications Commission first authorized for unlicensed use in 2008. The county was able to make a quick transition in using the spectrum for a mobile data network because it was the first to successfully transition from analog to digital television.

RELATED: FCC approves first white spaces database, device

FLASHBACK: FCC takes ‘free love’ approach to white spaces spectrum

“Super Wi-Fi” is essentially a buzzword created by the FCC to describe mobile data networks that run over the white spaces spectrum. The spectrum band’s low frequency allows for signals to travel farther and penetrate more walls than traditional Wi-Fi networks.

Television “white spaces” are pieces of unlicensed spectrum that are currently unused by television stations on the VHF and UHF frequency bands and that have long been seen as prime spectrum for unlicensed wireless Internet services. In 2008, the FCC, then headed by former Chairman Kevin Martin, voted to let carriers and other vendors deploy devices in white space spectrum that operates unlicensed at powers of 100 milliwatts, as well as on white space channels adjacent to existing television stations at powers of up to 40 milliwatts.

NinersNation looks at he depth chart:



Yesterday afternoon I wondered over to 49ers.com to check out something on the 49ers roster and noticed they had switched everybody over to the active roster. They no longer list players on the practice squad or on injured reserve. Rather, every player is listed as active. This includes all potential free agents, who technically remain under a sort of team control until the start of the new year.

Once free agency and the draft happen, we spend much of the offseason breaking down the roster and trying to figure out various permutations of the 53-man roster and the practice squad. Given the quantity of 49ers free agents this year, I thought I’d put together the current depth chart based on the existing roster, minus all impending free agents. The only exceptions are Tramaine Brock and Will Tukuafu. They are listed as exclusive rights free agents which means they have to sign the contract the 49ers give them or sit out of the NFL.

Some of the recent Future/Reserve contract guys are listed at tackle or linebacker or safety, and I just sort of slotted them in somewhere. While several of the names after the jump will not make the final 53-man roster in seven months, there are some intriguing talents that could make for some intriguing training camp battles. WR Dontavia Bogan and CB Curtis Holcomb are both extremely intriguing coming off season-ending injuries in 2011. Both have been rehabbing all season long and just based off their comments on twitter, they are already pumped for training camp.

Sactown Royalty discusses Kings problems, most notably living in Sacramento!

As a Kings fan, this may be the most frustrated I’ve been with the team. In 2008-09, our worst year in franchise history, I was less frustrated and more resigned to the fact that this was a terrible team that needed to be bad before it got better. Three years later however, and we’re not much better.

I didn’t think going into this year that we’d be a playoff team. There are just way too many good teams in the West, and the Kings overall lack of experience really hurts in that department. I was disappointed with our offseason, but still thought the team had improved and added much needed depth. I had also hoped for continued growth from franchise centerpieces Tyreke Evans, Marcus Thornton and DeMarcus Cousins.

SSR talks Pau Gasol:



In many ways, Pau Gasol is out of place as an NBA player. He’s been blessed with the pre-requisite gifts of length, agility, and athleticism in varying degrees, but his mentality is different than 90% of the players who don an NBA uniform. The normal NBA player is aggressive by nature. Pau Gasol is not. The normal NBA player is typically masculine, with huge biceps and tree trunks for legs that allow the player to absorb contact and fly through the air. Pau Gasol is wispy by comparison.

The normal NBA player does much of what he does by instinct. Pau Gasol does not. Pau Gasol is a thinker, not a doer. That’s not to say he doesn’t do anything. Doers think and thinkers do. It’s a matter of priority, and Pau Gasol’s first priority is always to have his actions well thought out. This is why so many of Pau Gasol’s opportunities with the basketball wind up the same. He’ll catch the ball, turn and face his defender, and wait. He’s thinking, analyzing the court, trying to determine which of the vast array of moves in his arsenal would be most appropriate for the situation. Many times, the most appropriate outcome is to move the ball elsewhere, and Pau Gasol is true to his analytical nature every single time.

Clips win:

The Los Angeles Clippers roared out of the gate tonight, using first quarter runs of 9-0 and 11-0 to build a 16 point lead at 29-13 over the Memphis Grizzlies. But when Rudy Gay banked in a half court shot at the end of the quarter (the Clippers really need to work on their half court shot defense, this is happening too much) it seemed to shift the momentum to Memphis, as they went on a 15-0 across the quarter break to cut the lead all the way down to a single point just three minutes into the second quarter. And the game was close the rest of the way.

Give the Clippers credit. They took a body blow from Memphis when they lost that lead, but they never panicked. Memphis was able to grab the lead a few times, but the Clippers always responded, and eventually LA took control down the stretch for a 98-91 win.



Memphis did what they do to get back into the game. They played pressure defense and forced turnover after turnover. The Clippers, who’ve been one of the most reliable teams with the ball this season, committed 13 first half turnovers which is way too many. A helter skelter first quarter masked the issue a bit. Memphis matched the Clippers turnover for turnover (each team had seven). But the Clippers were making 63% of their shots to 33% for the Grizzlies, so no it was easy to ignore the turnover problem. When Memphis started making some shots while continuing to force multiple turnovers, the game got close. As I pointed out in the preview, that’s what they do; that’s how they win. The Clippers took a one point lead into the locker room at halftime.

FearTheFIn talks Sharks 4th line:

This past offseason Sharks General Manager Doug Wilson revamped his fourth line in an attempt to get younger, stronger, and more responsible on his lower lines. Scott Nichol and Jamal Mayers were let go after their contracts expired due to what was presumably an increase in age and lack of mobility, while midseason trade acquisition Ben Eager was also left unsigned following a playoff series against Vancouver that saw him take unnecessary penalties and manage to lose his cool.

Former Worcester Sharks centerman Andrew Desjardins was promoted to full time duties after a strong postseason with the big club, winger Andrew Murray was signed in the offseason, and Brad Winchester made good on his training camp tryout with the club to lock down the final spot on that previously vacant fourth line.

Drama in Indy…

“I don’t think it’s in the best interest to paint the horseshoe in a negative light, I really don’t,” Irsay told reporters, referring to the team’s longtime logo. “The horseshoe always comes first, and I think one thing he’s always known, because he’s been around it so long, is that, you know, you keep it in the family. If you’ve got a problem you talk to each other, it’s not about campaigning or anything like that.”

The comments suggest there is a rift between Manning and Irsay, who is just six weeks from a deadline to pay the four-time league MVP a $28 million bonus or risk losing him as a free agent. And it all blew up in public on a day the team desperately wanted attention focused on Chuck Pagano, the Ravens’ defensive coordinator who takes over as head coach with a host of problems to address.

I can make burnt coffee too!!

Howard Schulz made $65M last year

Starbucks chief executive officer Howard Schultz was paid more than $65 million in fiscal year 2011, including salary, bonuses and stock options.
That places Schultz in the exclusive club of executives earning at least $50 million per year.
Schultz earned a base pay of $1.4 million, a bonus of $2.9 million, and a “long-term incentive” of $12 million, according to Starbucks’ proxy statement filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on Thursday. That “direct compensation” totals nearly $16.4 million.

do these complaints imply that the beans are burned during roasting, or that the coffee itself is burned during the brewing/from sitting around too long?

(sigh) Chiefs refusing to Pay Haley

Man, tough offseason for KC fans.

They might very well be, according to a tweet from Arizona radio reporter Mike Jurecki. He tweets that he is hearing the Chiefs are refusing to pay the final year of Haley’s contract for cause. This has not been confirmed. If that is the case, it means the Chiefs are saying they fired Haley for a specific reason that was problematic to the team, and that they don’t feel like they should have to abide by the contract. Former Oakland owner Al Davis had similar interactions with some coaches he fired.

Southbay Fish Tacos---must try

Dia de Pesca in San Jose- Steven’s Creek/San Carlos and Bascom

Easily the best seafood tacos in the bay area. Dudes in classical chef whites cooking out of stationary food trucks. Right around the corner from Falafel Drive In but way better (Drive In is still good).

Chihuahua likely to die after man hits it with golf club

A Riverside County man who allegedly hit a stray Chihuahua with a golf club, sending the small dog through the air, was arrested for suspicion of animal cruelty Thursday, authorities said.

The incident happened after two dogs, the Chihuahua and a poodle mix, became loose in the area of High Ridge Circle in Perris while their owner was at work, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

According to investigators, Larry Edward Jaurequi, 58, of Menifee, grabbed a golf club and then approached the two dogs when they wandered into a cul-de-sac around 2:15 p.m.

“Without reason or cause, the male swung the club against the Chihuahua as if driving a golf ball off its tee. The force of the swing sent the animal flying through the air,‘’ sheriff’s authorities said in a statement released to the press. "The suspect was preparing for a second swing when he was stopped by people that had just witnessed his acts.’’

Han Solo claimed that his Millennium Falcon “made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs”. A parsec was a unit of distance, not time. Solo was not referring directly to his ship’s speed when he made this claim. Instead, he was referring to the shorter route he was able to travel by skirting the nearby Maw black hole cluster, thus making the run in under the standard distance. By moving closer to the black holes, Solo managed to cut the distance down to about 11.5 parsecs.[source?] The smuggler, BoShek, actually beat Solo’s record in his ship, Infinity, but without cargo to weigh him down. A few months later, Han Solo beat both his own and BoShek’s records in a run he made with Luke Skywalker.

JC Penney is radically redesigning their pricing strategy – will it work??

When Ron Johnson, the new CEO of J.C. Penney (JCP) outlined his plan to revamp the department store this week at an analyst meeting, one announcement in particular drew gasps. Penney’s is saying goodbye to coupons, percent-off sales, daily sales, clearance sales — all the countless promotional ploys that department stores have relied on for decades to lure in shoppers.

Instead, said the mastermind behind Apple’s (AAPL) fabulously successful retail stores, come Feb. 1, the cacophony of promotions that has trained shoppers to distrust department store pricing will be nearly silenced. Instead, J.C. Penney is permanently marking down all of its merchandise by at least 40% to a new, “everyday low price,” and the only sales will be “monthly value” discounts on select items, and “best price” sales held regularly twice a month

Facebook IPO filing expected by Wednesday
Facebook plans to file documents as early as Wednesday for a highly anticipated initial public offering that will value the world’s largest social network at $75 billion to $100 billion, the Wall Street Journal cited unidentified sources as saying on Friday.

Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are expected to lead what would be one of the largest IPOs in U.S. history, the Journal cited its sources as saying.

Facebook was not immediately for comment.

The impending IPO — expected to raise $10 billion — is a prized trophy for investment banks, setting up a fierce competition on Wall Street, particularly between the presumed frontrunners Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.

ORANGE JUICE FUTURES SKYROCKETING
Jan. 23 (Bloomberg) - Orange-juice futures surged to a record for a second session on mounting concern that citrus greening disease in Texas and government tests for a banned fungicide in Brazil may reduce U.S. supplies.

Texas confirmed a case of citrus greening last week. The disease has damaged crops in Florida, the world’s second-biggest grower. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has detained juice imports to check for carbendazim, a fungicide used on fruit in Brazil, the top producer. Futures in New York reached an all- time high of $2.2695 a pound.

"Fundamental news always wins," Michael Smith, the president of T&K Futures & Options, Inc. in Port St. Lucie, Florida, said in a telephone interview. "I don’t see why it cannot hit $2.50 over the next six months."

So, you would post a comment and move on. When you went to post another ocmment, you would erase your first comment. Which had not posted.

The scientists behind Mitochondrial Eve tell us about the “lucky mother” who changed human evolution forever
http://io9.com/5879991/the-scientists-behind-mitochondrial-eve-tell-us-about-the-lucky-mother-who-changed-human-evolution-forever

This month marks the 25th anniversary of the discovery of Mitochondrial Eve, a common ancestor of all humanity who helped rewrite the story of human evolution. In honor of this anniversary, we talked to the scientists who started it all.
The original paper, “Mitochondrial DNA and Human Evolution”, appeared in the January 1987 issue of the scientific journal Nature. It was the work of three scientists who were then working at UC Berkeley: Rebecca Cann, now a professor of cell and molecular biology at the University of Hawaii; Mark Stoneking, currently a member of the Department of Evolutionary Genetics at Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology; and Allan Wilson, who sadly died in 1991 at just 56. Wilson was one of the earliest – and, as such, one of the most controversial – scientists to use molecular biology and genetic markers to probe the origins of humanity, which culminated in the discovery of Mitochondrial Eve.

We recently had a chance to speak with Rebecca Cann and Mark Stoneking about their own origins, how they came to work on this landmark paper, and what they feel is the legacy of Mitochondrial Eve 25 years after it entered and forever altered the scientific discourse on the origins of humanity.

What initially drew you to this area of research?

Rebecca Cann: I did my undergraduate degree in genetics at UC Berkeley. I wanted to study human genetic diversity but the molecular tools then (1972) were so primitive that most people worked on fruit flies or molds or mice – and I wanted to study something that evolved with interesting behaviors. So I went to work for a drug company (AG Bayer) to help put an ex-husband through graduate school while I figured out what I wanted to be when I grew up. My work as a techician helped me understand that science was both repetitive and always changing as the instruments changed, so it was important to acknowledge that you would always have to be learning new things. By 1974, the use of new “DNA scissors” or restriction enzymes were showing up in publications about genes in mice, and I realized that the time had come to go back to school.

Asteroid makes near-miss fly-by
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16756450

An asteroid hurtled past the Earth on Friday in something of a cosmic near-miss, making its closest approach at about 1600 GMT.

The asteroid, estimated to be about 11m (36ft) in diameter, was first detected on Wednesday.

At its closest, the space rock – named 2012 BX34 – passed within about 60,000km of Earth – less than a fifth of the distance to the Moon.

Astronomers stressed that there had been no cause for concern.

“It’s one of the closest approaches recorded,” said Gareth Williams, associate director of the US-based Minor Planet Center.

“It makes it in to the top 20 closest approaches, but it’s sufficiently far away… that there’s absolutely no chance of it hitting us,” he told the BBC.

I agree.

Rishi is aware of the frustrations that his small headers cause. We’ve been down the road a billion times. He can do what he wants.

None of that changes anything regarding Mr. F. I love Mr. F. Like the younger brother I have and love a lot more htan Mr. F. But just bc Rishi is acting in a manner that is slightly annoying doesn’t give him any more right than you or I to act discourteously to all the other posters here.

True, at it’s core, I’d agree with you. I found it to be the only show on TV that’s subject matter was obliquely about the aftermath of 9/11.

That’s the thing about sci-fi; it’s given a lot of freedom to ask fundamental questions about who we are and what we believe. No one was ready to face the effects of 9/11, too emotional, too hot, but they needed those questions asked anyway.

article on Kellen Moore from Dr. Saturday – anyone here thinks he becomes a starting QB?

For almost all of the 6-foot-or-shorter signal-callers drafted since 2000, the “special skill” that (theoretically) allowed them compensate for their height was mobility, which has proven to be the case for Vick and Wallace and will likely be the deciding factor if the pedestrian Moore is passed over in April for Wisconsin’s Russell Wilson, who came in at just 5-10 at the Senior Bowl but makes up for it with demonstrable athleticism that Moore demonstrably lacks. Even Drew Brees was considered fairly mobile coming out of Purdue, and clearly had a big-league arm that Moore also seems to lack. The “eyeball test” alone is likely to drop him into the sixth or seventh round, behind a handful of prototypical pocket slingers — Nick Foles, Brock Osweiler, Ryan Lindley, Kirk Cousins — whose college resumés are just a shadow of Moore’s.

Hmm. Every bar will have Maker’s, which tbh is good enough for me. Some of the cocktail oriented ones will have George Dickel, Bulleitt, etc. The classic Old Fashioned is very good, although sometimes it’s made too sweet or too fruity. Manhattans are good too. Do you eat egg? I forget. Anyway, a whiskey sour with egg white is also very good. I’m not a fan of a Rusty Nail, but if you like Drambuie or sweeter drinks, that’s another one. Oh, and if you can find Sazerac at a bar, that’s similar to an Old Fashioned, although occasionally served with absinthe.

OK, now I know what I am drinking tonight, in addition to what I am eating.

Info:

The Issa-Wyden draft bill, known as the Online Protection and Enforcement of Digital Trade Act, uses a follow-the-money strategy and gives responsibility for implementing the bill to the International Trade Commission instead of the Justice Department.
"Butchering the Internet is not a way forward for America," Issa said. "The OPEN Act empowers owners of intellectual property by targeting overseas infringers while protecting the rights of lawful Internet entrepreneurs and users."
The draft calls for allowing copyright or trademark owners to file a complaint with the ITC against a foreign website that is infringing their intellectual property. It would set up an expedited process for dealing with such complaints.
