Gulf of Mexico – US – Dead Zone – Save the Sea – Ocean – Water Pollution – July 2009 - (USA)
Smaller Than Expected, But Severe, Dead Zone in Gulf of Mexico July 27, 2009 Deadzone on July 27, 2009. High resolution (Credit: LUMCON) NOAA-supported scientists, led by Nancy Rabalais, Ph.D. from the Louisiana Universities Marine Consortium, found the size of this year’s Gulf of Mexico dead zone to be smaller than forecasted, measuring 3,000 square miles. However the dead zone, which is usually limited to water just above the sea floor, was severe where it did occur, extendi

Jihad Records - (USA)
Consider this a mini-discography brought to life, thanks to the miracle of mp3s. Jihad Records released only three albums during its existence, but at least a couple of those recordings are well-sought-after by fans of the jazz avant-garde. Each of these albums is radically different from the others, save for one common denominator: the appearance or involvement of beat poet, playwright, and activist Amiri Baraka (in an earlier time known as LeRoi Jones). Here's a brief overview of the Jihad lab

Chomsky on The Election, Economy, War, and Peace - (USA)
By Noam Chomsky. Republished from Znet 11/25/08 Noam Chomsky: Tireless critic of Western imperialism. Routinely blackballed by the corporate media he remains far less well known and influential at home than abroad. The Election The word that immediately rolled off of every tongue after the presidential election was "historic." And rightly so. A Black family in the White House is truly a momentous event. There were some surprises. One was that the election was not over after the Democrati

Chairlift talk to Clash - (USA)
Brooklyn buzz band looks to break through... “We’re the best band in the world at enjoying tacos…” Chairlift’s Patrick is buoyed by his own confidence: “We challenge any band to combat us in a taco-eating contest.” At first, this might seem exactly the sort of comment one would expect from the drummer/bassist of a band that produces charming, kooky soundtracks for iPod commercials (yes, that “I try to do handstands for you” tune, otherwise known as ‘Bruises’, is theirs), but there is more to

Infrastructure, Infra dig - (USA)
Yesterday I attended the first meeting of the new JISC Resource Discovery Infrastructure Taskforce. I enjoyed the day, and the Task Group is bringing together a great set of people who all had an incredible amount to contribute to the discussion. The day was much about establishing some basics - like agreeing the Terms of Reference for the group - and also about getting some of the issues and assumptions out in the open. I'd been asked to prepare a 10 minute presentation titled 'What if we w

RE: WaPo Story Now Online Everything all better? - (USA)
OK, I just read Part 1 of the Washington Post story by Gilbert Gaul on cheating at Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. I thought it was great and on target and technically correct to the letter when discussing legal matters. I learned a bunch of stuff I didn’t know, too. Two-and-a-half specific things caught my eye: (The name of the alleged cheater has circulated widely among poker players on the Internet. The Post is not publishing his name because, even though he purportedly confessed to Absol

Confessions of a Short Sale Success - (USA)
I have sitting on my desk right now, a commission check for a short sale that we actually closed escrow on. Way back in early March I announced I would begin listing short sale properties. As it would happen, all 3 of those initial short sale listings received offers. The first home, located in Phoenix never had a chance. Countrywide almost refused to even look at, because the underlying mortgage had PMI (private mortgage insurance). As a result, Countrywide was getting a better deal to le

CityBeat’s Sammi Skolmoski reports from Lollapalooza and Them Crooked Vultures debut - (USA)
When CityBeat intern Sammi Skolmoski (some of you may know her as “Sammi the intern” from the 91X Morning Show with Mat Diablo ) requested some time off work to head back to her hometown of Chicago, we happily obliged. But when she informed us that, while there, she would be hitting up the Lollapalooza festival , we put her back to work, having her send piecemeal reports from the three-day fest in Grant Park. From the return of the mud people and women face-down in porta-johns, to L

AUGUST 8, 2009 - St. Louis police officers were on the scene of Saturday's protest by members of the St. Louis Tea Party who gathered in front of the SEIU headquarters on Pershing Avenue to protest Thursday's beating of conservative activist Kenneth Gladney. Gladney said he was assaulted by members of the union outside a Mehlville healthcare forum sponsored by U.S. Rep. Russ Carnahan.

Consumer Guide to Medical Tourism - (USA)
When buying a new car or even a small inexpensive object, you probably refer to a buying guide or try to find out what others who have bought the product in the past are saying about it to make smart shopping decisions. But when it comes to buying healthcare, do you do the same? You must. Healthcare has gone global today. The rising cost of healthcare in the US has led many Americans to seek health-related services in other countries. There are sellers all around the globe selling health care

I have a really fun surprise for the Kids of Trashbags! After I Am Scumbag made a really rad logo of TrashbagsKids, suggested that he design some crazy and zany TrashbagsKids cards featuring the main hustlers and players of Trashbags. First up check out the djs he immortalised in drawing! And how can we forget the founders! We all love TK... so I got I Am Scumbag to draw you too ;) I sent an interview to I Am Scumbag.

BPM Counter: Five Hot New Releases - (USA)
I’m Not A Gun: Mirror (Palette)(US) This is the fourth album from techno producer John Tejada and classical guitarist Takeshi Nishimoto. I hadn’t heard the previous three albums on German imprint City Centre Offices so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Mirror is the first album on the LA-based Palette label run by Tejada but definitely shares similarities with the typical releases on the duo’s previous label with its use of live instrumentation, fragile shoegazer melodies, and techno- influence

Runes: Meaning, Lore and Divination - (USA)
Rune System (Elder Futhark) These Elder Futhark runes are simple to memorize and can be used to mark forest paths or leave messages for others. There is a natural order of the runes (1 to 24). The occult aspect of runes is that they were used by the ancient Norseman as a method of divination but more accurately as simply luck of the draw. Tossed like dice, or randomly selected the Norseman believed that the runes could be used to predict events. The individual runes were painted on w

Get lost - (USA)
The fact that London taxi drivers need to pass a rigorous test to prove that they know how to get from A-B within a six-mile radius of the centre of town before they’re allowed to take to the streets is a bizarre source of pride for some of the UK capital’s residents. Often cited as clear evidence that the city they live in is so much more civilised than those found elsewhere - or, more specifically, those found overseas. Adding to the mystique, in no small measure, of what would
