Dear and the Headlights Get 'Drunk Like Bible Times' . Sorta Dear and the Headlights just dropped their duece, er, sophomore album, humorously entitled 'Drunk Like Bible Times,' and are about to embark on a tour behind it. Of course, any rock band (indie or otherwise) going on the road in support of something called 'Drunk Like Bible Times' naturally conjures up images of bottles being smashed against concrete dressing room walls, drunken hotel mayhem and general shwillyness.

Download It Here! Hey Residents. So, in addition to the usual links and bug fix listing, I’m going to use this blog posting to cover the first of three topics I want to address this week… I’m going to be blogging about three topics of great importance to us (the WindLight Team) and you (the Residents) this week.
On Thursday, MBIA fought back. Under attack from critics who describe the company as effectively insolvent, MBIA, a big and troubled bond insurer, presented a spirited defense in a four-hour conference call with investors and analysts. Its executives did not allow the participants to ask questions directly, accepting only questions submitted in advance.
One of the more intriguing workhorses of the cell, a protein conglomerate called telomerase, has in its short history been implicated in some critical areas of medicine including cancer, aging and keeping stem cells healthy. With such a resume, telomerase has been the subject of avid interest by basic scientists and pharmaceutical companies alike, so you’d think at the very least people would know what it is.
From Southern California (video is at link; HT Fox News): POSTED: pm PDT June 11, 2008 UPDATED: pm PDT June 11, 2008 CARLSBAD, Calif. A Carlsbad woman survives cancer — twice — and is crediting a rare stem cell procedure for helping her battle the disease.
Senate Democrats came within one vote on Thursday night of pushing forward with a bill to prevent a 10 percent cut in Medicare payments to doctors, which will take effect next month without legislative action. And the only senators missing were John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, and Edward M.
The "Lemon Light" by Japanese artist / designer, Yuri Suzuki is a small portable light powered only by the lemon used to carry it. Although there have been many "fruit powered projects" in the past, this one is nice because of its portability and the artist's intent to highlight our wastefulness of energy and to increase people's awareness of the origins of electrical energy.
The McCain campaign obviously senses the pulse of some polls — including one by the Pew organization — that indicate a little fatigue with Obamamania. So, in its latest TV ad, to be cycled through in key state buys along with so many others in the last week that we’ve lost count, the Republican candidate’s campaign again attacks the celeb phenom as it surrounds Senator Barack Obama.
That was fast! Cancer treatments are amazing these days. Go medical research! I guess all those pink ribbons are actually doing some good. Just a month after being diagnosed with breast cancer, actress Christina Applegate is perfectly healthy and cancer-free, she told Robin Roberts of “Good Morning America” in an exclusive interview that will air Tuesday.
If you drive in cities, you know the game where you guess the exact speed to, say, cruise down Lexington Ave hitting all the green lights in sequence. With Audi's Travolution system—currently piloted in Ingolstadt, German—that game is no longer necessary, because 46 traffic lights report in to the car's computer, and the car tells you the speed you should go to hit all of them when green.
Silverlight 2 provides a rich platform for building cross-browser/cross-platform RIA applications.

It has also recently been published to corporate administrators via the Microsoft SMS and Microsoft Update programs to enable them to automatically deploy across enterprises.
Previous | Race Denial at its Finest Posted by KTK I haven’t been paying a lot of attention to the “Obama’s Pastor” controversy, because it’s the product of three forms of conservative stupidity that I am glad to be immune to. The first is their deliberate, calculated, and organized distortion of political campaigns with red herring issues and machine-gun assaults of irrelevant attacks whipped up by their noise machine to drown out a substantive discussion of issues on which they cannot compete.
Things are definitely heating up in the Pakistan-Afghanistan tribal areas, thought to be the last major sanctuary for al-Qaeda and extremist Taliban forces and leaders.
