Filed under: Rhythm
at the boat age of fourteen, our oafish hamfists could only handle the simplest routine tasks: shoe tying, pencil handling, typing and so on. danny johnson, a 14-year-antediluvian with such cruel manual dexterity that we’re of the inelastic intuition he’s at least two-thirds robot, recently performed a task we thought unthinkable — he broke 17-year-old chris chike’s certified record on guitar hero iii’s most difficult song, “through the fire and flames”, and he broke it by nearly 100,000 points. robot.johnson, who’s ignored nearly 80 guitar peripherals over the past nine months in pursuit of the record, set a wide margin with strategic star power usage, elevating his their own medicine to 973,954 (topping chike’s 899,703) during a fulfilment at a maximum effort buy circumstance with guinness officiaries in gate. in any case, we’ve seen chike garner even higher scores without being witnessed by the aforementioned officiaries — we suppose it’s time to these two jimmy woods-esque virtuosos to reside this in a no-holds-barred, winner-acquiesce to-all guitar duel.[via gamelife]

What is in stimulus package
Posted by thegateoftheangels in : Uncategorized , add a commentOops! Senate voting on stimulus; Hutchison speaking in Richardson - misses six votes
.
Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, R-Texas, missed six votes Friday night on the economic stimulus deal, instead fulfilling a promise to speak at the Richardson Chamber of Commerce. Hutchison, the state’s senior senator, was one of only three senators who missed votes. Ther other two missing senators were Sen. Judd Gregg, R-N.H., who is not participating in Senate votes because he has been nominated to be secretary of commerce and Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., who is being treated for a brain tumor. Kennedy, who was resting in Florida, has now returned to Washington for a likely final vote on the bill Monday.
The votes on amendments to the stimulus bill came after a bipartisan group of senatros made a dramatic breakthrough deal that reduced the spending in the package but by about $100 billion to $827 billion.
Hutchison spokesman Jeff Sadosky said, ”Senator Hutchison, after being informed that final votes would not occur until Saturday or Sunday, was pleased to be able to keep her commitment to the Richardson Chamber of Comerce. She continues to believe the stimulus bill, as it stands now, is the wrong approach and that we need to focus less on social spending programs and more on tax cuts for America’s families and businesses.”

Walking the “Kitties”
After all this time, my mood is completely dependent on how much fun I am having with the lions. I had a great morning with the cats today. As I arrived to find the cats, they all stood up and were ready for war. I thought that might be bad news for a nice day, but things got better.
Shizzle and Manizzle were sneaking up behind me and Whinny (right) let them get nice and close. Whinny was there in case I did something she didn’t like, but she allowed me to hang pretty close to her babies. After a little while with the cats in that spot, Cleo took her cubs and Whinny with her cubs to go for a drink. There was some water nearby in a nice open area. It had been so long that I had walked them, I was very anxious to get off the quad and walk with the cats.
As soon as I got on foot I knew that I was going to have a good walk. Cleo and Whinny watched me, but they allowed me to go wherever I wanted. I was just sitting with them and enjoying the moment. It had been such a long time that I just sat with them. I wasn’t trying to figure anything out or push any boundaries with them; we were just sharing some time and some space. It really is the most calming thing I have ever done.
I have been on a high the rest of the day. I won’t even tell you that I am trapped in my tent right now because of a storm. I won’t even mention that I am starving but can’t cook anything in the rain. OK, I guess just a mention. None of it will get me down because I had such a nice walk with my kitties.

Posted by thegateoftheangels in : Uncategorized , add a commentNEW YORK (CNN) — A 162-page list naming thousands of presumed victims of alleged fraud mastermind Bernard Madoff has been released by the trustee that is liquidating Madoff’s investment company.
Bernard Madoff is under 24-hour house arrest in his Upper East Side luxury apartment.
The densely typed list includes multinational banks, unions, charitable foundations, Madoff’s attorney, Madoff’s relatives and, possibly, celebrities.
Notables on the list include Columbia University, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Local 1249 Pension Fund, The Elie Wiesel Foundation, John Denver Enterprises and Fred Wilpon, the owner of the New York Mets.
Individuals on the list include John Malkovich and Sandy Koufax. However, it has not been confirmed that those on the list are actually the actor and the baseball Hall of Famer, respectively.
Seventy-year-old Madoff is under 24-hour house arrest in his Upper East Side luxury apartment, with $10 million bail placed against his home, as well as his wife’s residences in Montauk, New York, and Palm Beach, Florida.

Posted by thegateoftheangels in : Uncategorized , add a commentCan Microbial Hitchikers Survive Millions of Years in Space? A Galaxy Insight
In a unique experiment on a galactic scale, millions of bacterial spores have been purposely exposed to space, to see how solar radiation affects them and the results supported the idea that not only could life have arrived on Earth on meteorites, but that considerable material has flowed between planets.
Closer to home, scientists have analyzed aerial dust samples collected by Charles Darwin and confirmed that microbes can travel across continents without the need for planes or trains - rather bacteria and fungi hitch-hike by attaching to dust particles. Their results clearly show that diverse microbes, including ascomycetes, and eubacteria can live for centuries and survive intercontinental travel.
In a paper published in Environmental Microbiology, Dr. Anna Gorbushina (Carl-von-Ossietzky University, Oldenburg, Germany), Professor William Broughton (University of Geneva, Switzerland) and their colleagues analyzed dust samples collected by Charles Darwin and others almost 200 years ago.Recent space-centric studies have shown that some rock-inhabiting organisms, known as “endoliths,” might be able to survive a trip through space and a plunge through a planet’s atmosphere to the surface. However, nobody knew whether these organisms could survive the initial trip into space.
Recently, an international team of researchers, led by Gerda Horneck of the Institute of Aerospace Medicine in Cologne, Germany, selected a number of hardy microbes from Earth and tested their ability to hitchhike aboard rocks similar to Martian meteorites.
The organisms used in the study included bacterial endospores, endolithic cyanobacteria and lichens. This selection provided a wider range of organisms than in other studies performed to date, including not just simple bacteria but also more complex eukaryotic organisms.
The researchers looked at previous studies of Martian meteorites that provided information about the kinds of forces needed to eject rocks from a large planet. Using this data, the researchers developed a series of tests designed to simulate these pressures on the selected organisms.
By smashing the life-containing rocks between metal plates, the researchers were able to determine which organisms are capable of surviving different pressures caused by asteroid impacts and ejection into space. Ultimately, they discovered that a wide range of organisms would be capable of surviving impacts on or Earth.
“Our results enlarge the number of potential organisms that might be able to reseed a planetary surface after early very large impact events, and suggest that such a re-seeding scenario on a planetary surface is possible with diverse organisms,” the researchers report.
In earlier experiments, Horneck and her colleagues used the Russian Foton satellite to expose 50 million unprotected spores of the bacterium Bacillus Subtilis outside the satellite. UV radiation from the Sun killed nearly all of the spores, and did so even when the spores were confined under quartz.To test if meteorites might protect bacteria on their journey through space, Horneck and her colleagues mixed samples of 50 million spores with particles of clay, red sandstone, Martian meteorite, or simulated Martian soil and made small lumps a centimeter in diameter. Between 10,000 and 100,000 spores of the original 50 million survived and when mixed with red sandstone, nearly all survived, suggesting that even meteorites a centimeter in diameter can carry life from one planet to another, if they completed the journey within a few years. In a rock a meter across, bacteria could probably survive for millions of years.In a separate experiment, another team ran computer models of giant impacts like Chicxulub. In the simulations, millions of large boulders were ejected from the earth. About 30 boulders from each Earth impact even reached Titan, and they entered Titan’s atmosphere slower than most meteors hit Earth’s atmosphere. Big rocks from Earth have no doubt reached Enceladus, as well.”That kind of entry should be no problem,” agreed Allan Treiman of the Lunar and Planetary Institute in Houston, quoted in New Scientist. Bacteria were found in wreckage of the shuttle Columbia when it re-entered Earth’s atmosphere in 2003. And Earthly lichen survived when exposed to the harsh environment of space.
The research is detailed in the Spring 2008 issue of the journal Astrobiology.

Posted by thegateoftheangels in : Uncategorized , add a commentShould the Zack and Miri Title Change For Wal-Mart?
yay: the zack and miri make a porno dvd will hit shelves next tuesday, feb. 3! but on wal-mart’s shelves the name may look a inconsequential bit contrasting. wal-mart requested that director kevin smith change the title on the dvd covers so the word “porno” isn’t there, and smith has agreed to do it. here’s more:
Smith said Weinstein Co., which released the film Oct. 31, has complied with Wal-Mart’s request and created new DVD covers for the retailer, but the director worries that some unsuspecting customers will be fooled when they see the shortened title.
[Smith said,] “I mean, at least with the word ‘porno’ in the title, you can kind of give people a warning about what they’re in for.”
That’s a good point, really - is it actually doing anyone a service to take the word “porno” out of the title? Or is it understandable that Wal-Mart would want the DVD cover to not include that word?

Brrrr… We’re certainly in the dead center of winter, and for those of us north of the Mason-Dixon line (and for many of you below it), that means lots and lots of shoveling to keep sidewalks, porches, and driveways clean. But, as any 12-year-old kid can tell you, after the first few minutes, snow and ice start to build up on the shovel’s surface, and it becomes heavy and more difficult to use.
Click play, or go here to watch the video.
To keep the shovel slick and (mostly) ice free, spray both sides with non-stick cooking spray, and dig away.
