Break out the sweaters and snuggle under the covers–it’s August in Chicago.

A midsummer Arctic blast pushed temperatures to record lows this week, causing water parks to close, beaches to empty and seemingly hearty Midwesterners to shiver beneath jackets and sweatshirts.

By midday Wednesday, it was warmer in Juneau, Alaska, (64 degrees) than it was in Chicago (61). By day’s end, the thermometer had inched only one degree higher, shattering the 101-year-old record of 65 degrees for the coolest high temperature on that date.

Thursday could be equally cold, forecasters said.

The IRS requires that a form 5498 be produced for shareholders of retirement accounts that passed away in the reportable tax year.
We need to implement a new procedure to record the Date of Death on the GBOI screen when we receive a death distribution request.

The steps would be:

1) Redemption request or notification of shareholders passing is received.
2) Date of Death is identified using death certificate or appropriate paperwork
3) Date is entered on the GBOM screen into the DATE OF DEATH field.

"On slavery and emancipation"
[to A.G. Hodges]
Washington, April 4, 1864
You ask me to put in writing the substance of what I verbally said the other day in your presence, to Governor Bramlette and Senator Dixon.
"I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I cannot remember when I did not so think and feel, and yet I have never understood that the presidency conferred upon me an unrestricted right to act officially [p. 135] upon this judgment and feeling. It was in the oath I took that I would, to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United Sates. I could not take the office without taking the oath. Nor was it my view that I might take an oath to get power, and break the oath in using the power. I understand, too, that in ordinary civil administration this oath even forbade me to practically indulge my primary abstract judgment on the moral question of slavery. I had publicly declared this many times, and in many ways. A I aver that, to this day, I have done no official act in mere deference to my abstract judgment and feeling on slavery. I did understand, however, that my oath to preserve the Constitution to the best of my ability imposed upon me the duty of preserving, by every indispensable means, that government - that nation, of which that Constitution was the organic law. Was it possible to lose the nation and yet preserve the Constitution? By general law, life and limb must be protected, yet often a limb must be amputated to save a life; but a life is never wisely given to save a limb. I felt that measures otherwise unconstitu8ional might become lawful by becoming indispensable to the preservation of the Constitution through the preservation of the nation. Right or wrong, I assumed this ground, and now avow it. I could not feel that, to the best of my ability, I had even tried to preserve the Constituion, if, to save [136] slavery, or any minor matter, I should permit the wreck of Government, country, and Constitution all together. When, early in the war, General Fremont [with accent over e] attempted military emancipation, I forbade it, because I did not then think it an indispensable necessity. When, a little later, General Cameron, then Secretary of War, suggested the arming of the blacks, I objected because I did not yet think it an indispensable necessity. When, still later, General Hunter attempted military emancipation, I again forbade it, because I did not yet think the indispensable necessity had come. When in March and May and July, 1862, I made earnest and successive appeals to the border states to favour compensated emancipation, I believed the indispensable necessity for military emancipation and arming the blacks would come unless averted by that measure. They declined the proposition, and I was, in my best judgment, driven to the alternative of either surrendering the Union, and with it the Constitution, or of laying strong hand upon the coloured element. I chose the latter. In choosing it, I hoped for greater gain than loss; but of this, I was not entirely confident. More than a year of trial now shows no loss by it in our foreign relations, none in our home popular sentiment, none in our white military force - no loss by it anyhow or anywhere. On the contrary it shows a gain of quite a hundred and thirty thousand soldiers, seamen, and labourers. These are palpable [137] facts, about which, as facts, there can be no caviling. We have the men; and we could not have had them without the measure.
"And now let any Union man who complains of the measure test himself by writing down in one line that he is for subduing the rebellion by force of arms; and in the next, that he is for taking these hundred and thirty thousand men from the Union side, and placing them where they would be but for the measure he condemns. If he cannot face his case so stated, it is only because he cannot face the truth.
I add a word which was not in the verbal conversation. In telling this tale I attempt no compliment to my own sagacity. I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me. Now, at the end of three years' struggle, the nation's condition is not what either party, or any man, devised or expected. God alone can claim it. Whither it is tending seems plain. If God now wills the removal of a great wrong, and wills also that we of the North, as well as you of the South shall pay fairly for our complicity in that wrong impartial history will find therein new cause to attest and reverse the justice and goodness of God.ˇ

Be sure to get the new Ween Live in Chicago CD/DVD set if you still like Ween and haven't bought it already. I knew they were a good live band but this exceeded my expectations. Deaner really rips it up on guitar live (even moreso than on the records, he sounds like he's alternately channeling Hendrix and David Gilmour, pretty awesome), and the older songs that are wimpy little dink drum machine songs on CD turn into monster-huge hard rock songs live (their live drummer is incredible).
They even close with "The Blarney Stone" on the DVD! (The audio disc is the same recordings but some songs are edited out to fit the CD length restrictions.)
Anyways, a solid thumbs up from me, check it out.

I heartily recommend seeing Mama Digdown’s Brass Band at the King Club this Friday (8/13), if you’re into that sort of thing.

Zeno's Paradox Resolved


The faulty logic in Zeno's argument is the assumption that the sum of an infinite number of numbers is always infinite. While this seems intuitively logical, it is in fact wrong. For example, the infinite sum 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 + 1/32 + ... is equal to 2. This type of series is known as a geometric series. A geometric series is a series that begins with one and then each successive term is found by multiplying the previous term by some fixed amount, say x. For the above series, x is equal to 1/2. Infinite geometric series' are known to converge (sum to a finite number) when the multiplicative factor x is less than one. Both the distance that Achilles travels and the time that elapses before he reaches the tortoise can be expressed as an infinite geometric series with x less than one. So, Achilles traverses an infinite number of "distance intervals" before catching the tortoise, but because the "distance intervals" are decreasing geometrically, the total distance that he traverses before catching the tortoise is not infinite. Similarly, it takes an infinite number of time intervals for Achilles to catch the tortoise, but the sum of these time intervals is a finite amount of time.

Building on your initial storyboard and our first content discussion, we suggest a 5 module approach.
In addition to these core modules, we also feel there is a need to create a separate ‘executive summary’ – an intro piece that summarises the entire story. This can be skipped if necessary, but will be critically important for the Energy Minister or other key stakeholders who you wish to engage in a very short timeframe.

The impact of the centre:
What does this mean to the consumer?
What will be the wider impact on the energy business and economy in the UK?
Benefits to the environment

This module clearly demonstrates the efficiency gains from the introduction of this centre.
Content ideas:

this song is a forever classic because it nails it, that "fucking YES" moment where you can't believe how happy you are. You have to move, run, punch the air, jump, dance, anything. And because the song, peak after peak after peak, gets it so right it can bring that feeling too. I was walking down Southampton Row after buying the single and all that happened was the lights changing just when the horns came in just after Jay-Z's bit and it was enough, I felt like a king. You don't have to be in love, you don't have to be beautiful, you don't have to dance well, for three minutes you can become this song and the world is yours to conquer. Pop music, eh?

(SPACE.com) -- In a discovery that has left one expert stunned, European astronomers have found one of the smallest planets known outside our solar system, a world about 14 times the mass of our own around a star much like the sun.

It could be a rocky planet with a thin atmosphere, a sort of "super Earth," the researchers said today.

Shirley,
It’s quite exciting to be sleeping here in this new room
Shirley,
You’re my reason to get out of bed before noon
Shirley,
You know when we sat out on the fire escape talking
Shirley,
What did you say about running before we were walking

Sometimes when we’re as close as this
It’s like we’re in a dream
How can you lie there and think of england
When you don’t even know who’s in the team

Shirley,
Your sexual politics have left me all of a muddle
Shirley,
We are joined in the ideological cuddle

I’m celebrating my love for you
With a pint of beer and a new tattoo
And if you haven’t noticed yet
I’m more impressionable when my cement is wet

Politics and pregnancy
Are debated as we empty our glasses
And how I love those evening classes

Shirley,
You really know how to make a young man angry
Shirley,
Can we get through the night without mentioning family

The people from your church agree
It’s not much of a career
Trying the handles of parked cars
Whoops, there goes another year
Whoops, there goes another pint of beer

Here we are in our summer years
Living on icecream and chocolate kisses
Would the leaves fall from the trees
If I was your old man and you were my missus

Shirley,
Give my greetings to the new brunette

This logical explanation doesn't always jibe with users' experiences. Dan Cedarholm, a Web designer in Salem, Mass., insists that his iPod has a predilection for the indie punk band Fugazi. Even though he only has two of the band's albums stored on his "vintage" 5-gigabyte device, the band seems to dominate his iPod to a degree wildly disproportionate to the amount of space it occupies on his player's memory, he said

So you don't want to start off too intensely?
No. You don't want to because women like the dirty talk, but they don't want to know that they're being talked dirty to.

Okay.
So you say stuff like, "I can't wait to get some of that mmm mmm mmm v-a-gina." You see, that's how you do it. Flub it. Flip it. Tweak it a little. Tweakin', that's what it's all about.

What are some words you should never use to refer to genitalia?
Oh. Hmmm. You know, that cunt word, that's a pretty rough word. I'm sure it could be tweaked, but I haven't found a way yet. I'm working on it.

Why that word?
Well, you see, the thing is, the c is really what does it. That is harsh, whereas "pussy" has a little more mellowness to it. Pussy. Cunt. Pussy. Cunt. The "cunt" sounds too hail Hitler, you know, too much German, too much Nazi, that's the problem. You don't want to get in any trouble with the Anti-Defamation League. Stay away from "cunt" or there are going to be problems.

How do you get a slam poet to come home with you?
Buy the CD, that's a start.
