"We're trained as volunteer ministers, we use a process called 'assist' to follow the nervous system to reconnect the main points, to bring back communication"

For you astute hip hop fans out there, hear this before you throw something at the monitor...
No, I am not happy that every rapper* is getting on this Just Blaze & Jay Electronica masterpiece. In fact, if I were the emperor of hip hop, you would have to audition to rap on Exhibit C. However, there are extenuating circumstances to such a rule, such as outstanding lyricism. So without further ado, enjoy Baltimore's own Los and his version of Exhibit C... or stay angry and listen to some old Jay Elec. Whichever.

Here's the video for Virginia's own Skillz and his annual (w)rap up. From Bernie Madoff to Tiger Woods, he covers pretty much everything. Props.

Besides struggling in a world of morons, Apple "Geniuses" put up with a lot of shit. From computers caked in toxic waste to getting punched in the face, the war stories are endless. The best part? They're all true. Here are my two favorites:
Dipset producer araabMUZIK, if you didn't know already, is a savage on the MPC. Apparently he does live performances of this... anyway, here's his brand new promo... incredible.
...And the new music keeps coming. Visuals for Sean's single off Finally Famous, which still does not have a release date. Video location: Detroit, possibly the worst city ever.
"But thousands of more horror and on-line Gomorrah
And Sodom
They got 'em with they curls out
And they got a better sales pitch then the girl scouts"
...Last track off DOOM's album, Mm.. Food. Doom is a lyrical GENIUS.
As with any kind of giving, it's wise to verify that the cause you are donating to is a legitimate organization before pledging your funds. This is especially true when you learn of a nonprofit on Facebook, where phishing and other scams can give the impression that your friends are sending out links, when really a spammer has hijacked their identity.
Legitimate organizations also send a confirmation text moments after you donate to verify that you really want to give the specified amount, typically $5 or $10. If you say yes, then the amount will appear on your next cell phone bill. If you did not intend to donate, you can cancel your pledge.
When taking extremely deep space images, scientists must analyze the incident angle of incoming light to correct and sharpen their photos. Since light passing through a medium like space is affected by all masses in its path to the point of observation (through luminescence, orbiting haze, even gravity), a negative must be created and applied to eliminate the blurriness. For a general understanding, take a look at the image to the left.
This basic principle is now being applied to laboratory microscopy as well. Often times, when working with human samples, overlying tissue can blur the image of the cells below. Now using the concept of image correction from space photography, scientists have developed a series of computer algorithms to, based upon analysis of various tissues, correct the image for cells below blocking tissue.
Researchers from Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Coleman Technologies, have this description for their new technology,
Central to the technique is a liquid crystal “spatial light modulator,” which both measures and samples’ optical variations and then sculpts a wave of light into a shape that all but nullifies the sample’s own image-blurring inconsistencies.That's some serious depth! Hopefully this will boost the rates for accurate diagnoses (brain tumor or otherwise).With control algorithms devised by the researchers, the liquid crystal element
specifies a sequence of illumination patterns that serially probe the deflections of incoming light rays in tens or even hundreds of specific regions of the sample by measuring the image displacements caused by such deflections. An algorithm then translates these measurements into control signals that transform the same liquid crystal component into a mask that tilts the light rays so they converge at a common point, thus negating the sample’s own optical aberrations.
So far the researchers have proven the principle by successfully imaging one-micron diameter spheres tucked underneath a 300-micron thick slice of mouse brain tissue and neurons up to 400-microns deep inside mouse brain tissue.
Firstenberg "cannot stay in a hotel, because hotels and motels all employ wi-fi connections, which trigger a severe illness. If (Firstenberg) cannot obtain preliminary relief, he will be forced to continue to sleep in his car, enduring winter cold and discomfort, until this case can be heard."
The world is definitely going to end in 2010. Why you ask?
Because New York City officials decided to spend $32,000 (of the taxpayer's money) on 70,000 fliers that show fiends how to shoot heroin; complete with detailed tips on prepping the dope and injecting it into your arm.
