Rich Tax Breaks Bolster Video Game Makers
A collection of tax deductions, write-offs and credits makes video game development one of the most highly subsidized businesses in the United States, a tax professor says.

Hurricane Irene: Dude streaks through Weather Channel live shot (video, pic, NSFW)
[Video Link] It's not a real American disaster until some drunk idiot pranks a live TV news shot. Above, Weather Channel reporter Eric Fisher gets mooned while reporting Hurricane Irene. Full frontal dong-age occurs shortly after that.
"We're in a lull..." No, sir, you're in a LOL.

Jigoku: psychotronic cut-up video
Quite a freak-out, eh? It's the trailer for "Jigoku", UK DJs/producers Lovely Jon and Cherrystones' cut-up coup of exotic horror flicks and psychedelia. The limited-edition eponymous DVD is based on a live video mix they've performed at the ICA, Other Cinema, and elsewhere. From Bleep Blog:
Joel Martin –What is your personal interpretation of ‘Jigoku’? I know that this translates as ‘Hell’ in Japanese and is also the title of Nobuo Nakagawa’s cinematic vision of Hades, also titled ‘Jigoku’ (1960)?"Quiet Village interviews Jigoku"Lovely Jon – Nakagawa’s classic is a major influence but the name kinda brings up everything we’re about – that intense visual hit you experience when seeing a crazy ‘out there’ movie in the middle of the night where all the rules are broken and cohesion is thrown out of the window: you’re left with this suffocating beast you can’t escape from....
JM - Can you recommend some personal film favourites for the uninitiated viewer that fully capture the essence of ‘Jigoku’?
LJ - Christ – have you got a year?! Jose Marins (Coffin Joe): Brazil’s king of horror is a huge influence – his movies are unique in that he made these celluloid paintings from hell for peanuts but his vision usurped the impoverished budgets he had to work with. We’re also huge old school kung fu fans and love Asian vampires: The Dragon Lives Again is an insane Bruce Lee rip where the king goes to hell and encounters Dracula; The Mummy; Emmanuelle; The Man with no Name; James Bond and Popeye (!) – that’s one totally fucked up movie, Rasta!
CS – Try these: I Drink Your Blood (D E Durston); Prey (Norman J Warren); The Boogeyman (Ulli Lommel); Death Laid An Egg (Giulio Questi); Blue Eyes Of The Broken Doll (Carlos Aured); The Thrill Killers (Ray Dennis Steckler); Blindman (Ferdinando Baldi); House With Laughing Windows (Pupi Avati) and Seven Commandments Of Kung Fu (Shih Hao Ko).

IceCube Video
Construction of the world’s largest particle detector is now complete after 10 years of drilling deeper than a mile into ultraclear Antarctic ice.
Called the IceCube, the three-dimensional array of sensors can detect neutrinos expelled by some of the universe’s most violent sources, including black holes, supernovas and energetic stars.
Neutrinos weigh hardly anything, so the particles usually travel through matter — including the sun and Earth — without interacting. But every now and then they slam into the cores of atoms to create nuclear particle showers. The events emit faint blue trails of light which IceCube’s 5,160 sensors can track with extreme precision.
“About one in a million neutrinos crash into a proton. We’re measuring the energy and the directions of those nuclear reactions to build a neutrino-based map of the sky,” said Francis Halzen, a theoretical physicist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and leader of IceCube.
The $100-million neutrino-detection effort is one of the most challenging ever attempted by engineers and physicists, Halzen said.
“Nobody would have bet on the success of this project, and rightfully so,” Halzen said. “If we knew how complex it would be to build, we may have never have started.”
In this gallery, take a tour of the world’s biggest, iciest particle detector.

Pilot raided for YouTube video exposing airport security flaws
Antinous sez, "An anonymous airline pilot posted cell phone video of security lapses at SFO to YouTube. Federal air marshals and the sheriff's department showed up at his house to take his gun away."
"Well, folks, I just wanted to give you an idea of what type of security for the ground personnel there is. This is their screening. As you can see, there's only a card slide and one door," the pilot says in the video. "And right here's a sign, 'Think security.' Well, I don't think there's much security here."Pilot in Hot Water for Exposing Security Flaws...According to sister station ABC7 in San Francisco, the disclosure resulted in federal air marshals and sheriff's deputies showing up at the pilot's home -- an event the pilot, a deputized federal air marshal, also recorded -- to confiscate his federally issued handgun.
Attorney Don Werno, who represents the pilot, says he believes the TSA was sending a message that "you've angered us by telling the truth and by showing America that there are major security problems despite the fact that we've spent billions of dollars allegedly to improve airline safety."

Papa Sangre: binaural video game with no video
Paul Bennun from Somethin' Else sez, "We just released Papa Sangre, the video game with no video. Backed by Channel 4 in the UK, it's not the first audio game or first game with binaural audio in it, but it is the first game with an entire world generated on the fly using 3d, binaural sound. Amazing combo of tech and art. Yes, I am biased. But. We are incredibly proud.Response has been incredible, just amazing, especially from blind people (unsurprisingly)."
Papa Sangre (Thanks, Paul!)Entering the Palace of Bones from Papa Sangre on Vimeo.
You are lost, deep in the darkness of the land of the dead. Your eyes are useless to you here -- but your ears are filled with sound. And what is it you can hear ... ?
All you know is someone is in grave danger and desperately needs your help. Can you save them and make your escape or will you be trapped in the blackness forever?
You're in Papa Sangre's palace. His palace is in an afterlife that takes the form of a malevolent, unpredictable carnival: imagine a Mexican graveyard on the Day of the Dead -- with the lights off. You're the piñata for a host of partying monsters. They probably look a lot worse than they sound. You should count yourself lucky it's too dark to see them.
Get out. Save the one you love. Do the right thing.
