You know, they said the same about South Korea in the 1970s or Taiwan in the 1980s. As people’s standards of living improve they usually demand better regulation and safety.

McDonaugh, Hawks President, has a stranglehold on the press here. All negative press gets squashed ASAP. There has been rumors for awhile that if a reporter writes something bad , press credential will get pulled or worse. Just look at what happened to Josh Mora and Susannah Collins.

(Geno, mumbling to himself) ...and with a few well-placed lines, I’ve turned this into a $688.88 check. HA!

People questioned how the media should treat stories like this one of the last times this was brought up. But I think when you look at how glaring this news is when it isn’t reported, it demonstrates exactly why it should be talked about.

Same thing on WGN news last night. (Hey, it came on after the Cubs game.) They opened with a long discussion of the EA cover decision and it was only near the very end of the story that they revealed just why EA had made that decision. I read an article in the Chicago Tribune about the impact of the story in Buffalo…

What do you expect? It’s the first round of the PGA championship!

See NYS’s Dram Shop Law.

This still represented a vast improvement over the previous day’s practice, when Manuel’s first pass was intercepted and returned for a touchdown by the Patriots' corporate hospitality tent.

Now with video:

This is a robotics implementation of a pretty well known branch of AI called Genetic algorithms. One of the limitations of this approach is that it tends to find ‘local maximums’, because the fitness function for deciding which offspring to keep is short-sighted - it usually will not accept a short or medium term…

Barber: What kind of look are you going for, bud?

I think this country has enough assholes running around. We don't need another one occupying public office.

I might point out that patents only work if the government involved is willing to support the patent holder. It is unlikely a power source like fusion would be patentable and have all the potential countries in the world uphold the patents. In India or China it would be improbable.

Every NFL fight sucks but this one:

The Star-Tribune deserves to catch some shit too. Now all of a sudden they’re reporting on all of Teague’s settlements. You’d think someone at the paper would’ve looked into him after Rayno told them what happened to her.

Well, I think you now know what you must do: convince Burneko to try it.

Roger Goodell would have fit in splendidly on that stage in Cleveland last night.

What I find interesting, and a little strange, is that the sparrows apparently recognized and correctly diagnosed their symptoms.

But one Science study finds that these sweeping engineering projects aren’t long-term insurance.
