The Larimer Pioneers Path from X Games to Craft Brewer
Matt Lindenmuth returned to Pennsylvania to open the Larimer in South Philadelphia. (Maria Grosskettler)
At first glance, an X Games athlete and craft beer brewer has little in common with an American general and an 1800s pioneer. But if you look closer, Matt Lindenmuth and General William Larimer Jr. share a strikingly common path from Pennsylvania to Colorado and back, leaving traces of their lives along the way.
Meet The Larimer
Pennsylvania native Matt Lindenmuth's journey into craft beer began when he pushed West. But at the time, it wasn't for beer.
Lindenmuth, now commonly known as the Larimer, first traveled west from his hometown of Kutztown, Pennsylvania, to compete in the X Games. That's right. The adrenaline-seeking event that includes double backflips on rollerblades, a maneuver first attempted by Lindenmuth and now respectfully called the "Double Lindy."
After a day of competing against one another, the athletes found common ground over a glass of beer. That soon led to some homebrewing.
Now, standing in his own brewery and reflecting back on those days, Lindenmuth relates craft brewers to his fellow X-Gamers.
Lindenmuth, a retired X Games athlete, says craft brewing and the X Games have similar a camaraderie. (Maria Grosskettler)
"There's a lot of similarities. The two worlds are very comparable — a sense of camaraderie," he says.
Lindenmuth takes a sip of his own brew and continues, "The craft beer world is a total community–welcoming with open arms. We are competitors but we are always helping each other. I immediately felt at home. It reminded me of my days in the X Games. Everybody cared about each other. Yes, we were always competing but at the end of the 30-minute show, we were checking on all our injuries and hanging out."

Life After the Games
When the days of the X Games came to a close for Lindenmuth, he spent a year not knowing what he was going to do with his life. "From 12 to 32, my life was the action sports world. I never believed it would come to an end."
Then he read "Brewing Up A Business" by Dogfish Head founder Sam Calagione and with the knowledge he learned in homebrewing, he started his first brewery, Saucony Creek, in Kutztown.
But the West called again. This time for the beer (and maybe a girl). Lindenmuth found himself in Denver where he fell in love with the craft beer scene. It was there he began contract gypsy brewing and The Larimer was born.
Who is The Larimer?
General William Larimer Jr. was an 1800s military general, state senator and entrepreneur. He dabbled in all sorts of jobs from acquiring stone for the Pennsylvania Turnpike, managing a Conestoga wagon line, organizing a coal company and even establishing a wholesale grocery. As he pioneered West, he founded the capital of Colorado. He was also an abolitionist, fighting to end slavery and fighting to increase women's rights.
Lindenmuth first heard of this renaissance man from a friend.
"He saw a lot of similarities between us. We both have a pioneer mindset; wanting to push the envelope and discover new things," he says.
Seeing that Lindenmuth was immediately drawn to the idea of "The Larimer," his friend offered to sketch up a logo.
The bearded general that adorns hats, shirts, cans and now a building in South Philadelphia was brought to life as a modern rendition of the 1800s General Larimer.
Holding true to the principles of the General himself, Lindenmuth continued the entrepreneurial task of gypsy brewing, making connections all across America.
Lindenmuth originally settled on finding a permanent brewing home in Denver. But Lindenmuth's heartstrings were pulled back to his home state. Leaving the adventures of the West behind, Lindenmuth shifted his sights on Philadelphia.
"I loved Denver and still visit frequently, but I needed to get back to here," he says.
You can now find Matt Lindenmuth serving up beer at his own brewery called The Larimer in the Chester neighborhood of South Philly.
"I brew in the morning and then stand behind the bar all day," Lindenmuth says as he offers up one of his most recent beers, Domestically Challenged Pilsner.
"There's a lot of change happening here in Chester. It's a rebuilding community. So it's incredible watching folks from two different ends of the spectrum share beers and conversations and realize similarities. It's very romantic watching the whole thing unwind in front of me," he says.

A Certain Fan Base
The location choice for the Larimer? Essential. Just a few blocks from the Major League Soccer Philadelphia Union Stadium, the Larimer has become the official tailgate spot for the Sons of Ben fanatics.
"It is incredible to see this place transform on game day," Lindenmuth says.
The Larimer even has a sideline table for four in the stadium. Lindenmuth offers up these prime seats to fans for them to enjoy one of his craft beers while watching the game.
"The soccer crowd embraces that they are the fifth forgotten professional sport in America."
The Larimer is proud to be represented at the Union stadium. With connections in Denver, Lindenmuth hopes to one day expand into the Colorado Rapids stadium, continuing his pioneer efforts to bring craft beer into the world of soccer.
The Spirit of General Larimer
To pay true homage to the unsung hero of General Larimer, Lindenmuth and his girlfriend found the general's gravesite in the Allegheny Cemetery in Pittsburgh on plot No. 1.
"We took some beer and just stayed for a while," he says.
Since taking on the Larimer, Lindenmuth has done his best to embody the entrepreneurial spirit of General Larimer. He often says, "My dreams are bigger than my pockets."
Lindenmuth is taking those big dreams one step at a time.
"I am patient. It's not going to happen overnight," he says.
Who knows if he will have a list of accomplishments as long as the Larimer, but if he has learned anything from the general, it's certainly worth trying.

Pine tar is a liquid distilled from the wood of various pine relatives. Traditionally, pine roots and stumps are burned slowly to extract a thick liquid. Pine tar has a strong smell, which can make some people reluctant to use it. However, it's still a helpful product for people in industries as varied as soap making and construction. Pine tar can be purchased from many different kinds of retailers, including sporting goods suppliers, veterinary supply companies and specialty woodworking suppliers.
Commercially, pine tar comes in a number of grades and types. When purchased as a grip aid for baseball bats, it tends to come in liquid form, and is often packaged as a spray. Pine tar for construction use is packaged in buckets. It comes in both light and dark varieties, depending on the desired color of the finished wood. Kiln burn pine tar includes low pitch content and high resin content. It is considered a very pure type, and is significantly more expensive than lower grades. Pine tar sold for veterinary use is usually more pure than construction pine tar.
This material is sold in several different package sizes, depending on the intended use. The price does not always correspond directly with the amount of pine tar purchased. For instance, as of 2010 and according to the Petware website, 475 ml of veterinary pine tar costs $7.50. Eight ounces of baseball pine tar spray is $4.99, while one liter of construction pine tar costs $27.50.
This substance can be hard to find in local stores, since it has fallen out of popular use. Large chain retailers rarely carry this product in quantity. It may be necessary to order pine tar online, or visit a specialty supplier, especially when large amounts are needed. This can significantly raise the cost of working with the material. Consumers in search of pine tar may need to spend a little time talking to traditional woodworkers and others who know where to buy this product.

Marines Cross Into Southern Iraq
SOUTHERN IRAQ – U.S. ground troops crossed into southern Iraq from Kuwait on Thursday during the second night of the U.S.-led bombing campaign against Iraq.
Reporters traveling with the 1st Marine Division into Iraq saw burning oil wells that sent a black cloud into the night sky under a nearly full moon.
The Marines also had some skirmishes with Iraqi troops. They opened fire with machine guns on an Iraqi T-55 tank and finally destroyed it with a Javelin, a portable anti-missile.
There were no immediate details on the size and makeup of the entering force, or the location of incursion.
During the day, U.S. forces in northern Kuwait opened a thundering barrage of artillery across the desert border, along with volleys of rockets.
There were reports that the border had been breached earlier by British forces. A reporter for The Times of London reported that Royal Marine Commandos had crossed into southern Iraq and swept into the Al Faw peninsula. There were reports that British forces had captured the port city of Umm Qasr on the edge of al-Faw.
The attack came at the end of a day that began with allied troops at the other end of the gun barrel, as Iraq — responding to the American bombardment of Baghdad and other targets — launched missiles into Kuwait, where the allied forces were primed to attack.
During the Scud missile launches, Marines in the 1st Marine Division put on their full chemical suits — masks, gloves and full combat gear — three times in less than two hours.

Gov. Jerry Brown has upped the stakes in his fight with University of California President Janet Napolitano over who is ultimately in charge of UC budget and tuition decisions.
Napolitano's success last fall in getting UC regents to approve a five-year, 28 percent tuition hike conditioned on how much state funding UC receives is what triggered the fight.
… essentially stiffed UC President Janet Napolitano and the regents, who have threatened to raise tuition again unless the state chips in substantially more money.
Brown re-offered only last year's deal: a 4% increase, or about $120 million, if the university keeps tuition flat. UC previously said that wasn't enough. "The $120 million is not chump change," the governor insisted.
And he threw in a new condition: No additional out-of-state students, who pay triple tuition, crowding out California kids. UC was "created by the people of California … for the citizens of the state," he declared.
The populist quality of his admissions maneuver will serve Brown well politically — even if it goes against his normal posture of budget pragmatism. Out-of-state students pay so much in tuition that they shore up financing for UC and relieve pressure on the state budget.
But the insiders and UC watchers I have spoken with think the governor is playing three-dimensional chess and Napolitano is playing tic-tac-toe.
Brown and the Legislature want to get credit for tuition relief for the middle class. Napolitano wants to have a bigger budget but has yet to convince the public or the media that UC is in dire straits.
The governor just won a landslide re-election by making the case he is a careful fiscal steward of the state. Napolitano has no political base in California after years as governor and attorney general of Arizona and homeland security czar for the Obama administration.
Given these facts and circumstances, it's difficult to see how Brown can lose this fight. The more interesting question is whether Brown will allow the UC president to save face by making some concessions. To this point, he's not just content to accept the narrative of her as an adversary, he's actively encouraging it.
Brown wants to negotiate with Napolitano over university cost-cutting, which could include professors spending more time teaching and less researching.
But that would only be a further humiliation for Napolitano, who has repeatedly declared her intention to keep the UC system as one of the world's great centers of research.
If Napolitano went along, it would also likely trigger a sharp reaction from the UC Faculty Senate.
The former Arizona gov may already regret challenging the current California gov so directly.
Our "Educational Elite" need to be periodically reminded for whom they work.
The same could be said for our governmental elites. Sadly I'm not sure I see that happening in the near future.


SAN DIEGO – A 76-year-old man was in jail Friday morning on suspicion of arson at a home in City Heights.
At 8 p.m. Thursday, the suspect went to a home at 2400 Shamrock Street in the Azalea/Hollywood Park area of San Diego, and upon finding the door boarded up, started a fire outside the door, according to Officer Robert Heims of the San Diego Police Department.
The fire department responded and extinguished the fire, he said.
The suspect, identified as Victor Ulm, was detained and ultimately arrested for arson, Heims said.
It was unclear if the man ever lived at the location or knew the owner of the home.

Home ▸ Faculty Affairs ▸ Rank and Tenure
The promotion and tenure process relies on presenting the work and trajectory of candidates in a clear, consistent, objective and fair way. Dossiers should present a neutral account of the merits of each case. Understanding the standards for a good dossier is vital to ensuring that we adhere to our mission and the ambitions of our faculty.
Procedures change over time, therefore we arrange meetings each year to provide opportunities for group discussion on issues that arise when preparing dossiers. Information for administrators assisting with the Interfolio dossier preparation can be found here as well.
Extension of Tenure Probationary Period
In an effort to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on progress towards tenure, tenure track faculty members employed in 2019-2020 in their sixth year or earlier have received have two additional probationary years. The first one-year extension was announced in Spring 2020 and a second one-year extension was announced in Fall 2020. These extensions also apply to new hires starting on the tenure track in the 2020-2021 academic year. These extensions are automatic and no application is needed. Further, these extensions do not affect the option to apply for tenure at any time, prior to the end of the probationary period.
None of these extensions removes the option of applying early during any year of the tenure probationary period up to and including the sixth year.
The decision has been made to extend the probationary period for faculty on the tenure track in the Spring Semester, 2020
More information is available in the document Extension of Tenure Probationary Period, March 2020: Frequently Asked Questions.

Alumni Linda Daly and Jackie Cirillo Meisenberg
By Helen Dodson | May 5, 2017
For Linda Daly and Jackie Cirillo Meisenberg, decades of friendship began with a horrendous haircut. The year was 1984. Linda was a freshman and Jackie a sophomore at American University, both living on the third floor of Hughes Hall.
Jackie had just gotten what she calls a "part mullet, part punk rock" fiasco of a haircut, with a perm added in for good measure. She stood in front of the mirror of the third-floor bathroom, screaming, "Can you believe how horrible my hair looks?" Linda thought it looked a little orange, but what she said was, "It's not so bad." In that moment of kindness, a deep and lasting friendship was born.
Daly and Cirillo Meisenberg soon became roommates, sharing an off-campus apartment with another Hughes friend, Linda Lupo Rodriguez.
Daly graduated in 1990 from the College of Arts and Sciences with a degree in literature, and Cirillo Meisenberg in 1987 from the School of Communication. Today, they are still best friends who text every day, talk every few weeks, and see each other once or twice a year. And both are deeply involved with the College of Arts and Sciences.
Life took them to separate coasts and careers after graduation. Daly went west to Los Angeles, where she taught children with learning disabilities. She was also a freelance writer, and worked with non-profit and international relief organizations. In 2014, she published her first book, The Last Pilgrimage: My Mother's Life and Our Journey to Saying Goodbye, a moving chronicle of her mother's battle with pancreatic cancer.
Cirillo Meisenberg launched an advertising career in New York until her daughter Hannah was born. She is currently on the advisory board for Big Brothers Big Sisters in Westchester County.
As the years passed, both decided to renew their relationship with their alma mater. Cirillo Meisenberg says she "fell in love with it all over again." The love was catching: her daughter (and Linda's god- daughter) Hannah enrolled in the College, earning a degree in art history in 2015. She now works at the Guggenheim Museum in Manhattan.
Today, both women contribute significantly to AU students through their support of scholarship and the Academic Support and Access Center, which helps students succeed. Daly says, "School was extremely difficult for me. But AU was extremely supportive when I needed help. I will always be grateful." Cirillo Meisenberg is also a founding co-chair of the Legacy Alumni Network, along with their third roommate, Linda Lupo Rodriguez.
AU's academic services were also of help to Cirillo Meisenberg's daughter Hannah. "Our gift to CAS," Cirillo Meisenberg says, "is a thank you to its professors and administration for providing not only Hannah, but all of its students, the opportunity to pursue their academic passions."
Both women are also members of the College of Arts and Sciences Advisory Council, parents and alumni who provide guidance on College initiatives.
When the two friends look back on their college years, they are thankful. "I met my best friend there," says Daly. Cirillo Meisenberg says, "As I get older, it becomes more and more apparent that AU was one of the most important experiences of my life. It's where I met my best friend Linda."

Final Fantasy XIV Dungeons Too Long?


So I had this plan to review this book last week while Storey was posting all sorts of delicious recipes on their Facebook page (Storey posts lots of recipes, tips and occasional giveaways). Time got away from me while working on the coloring book and to do it justice, it needs reading.
I planned to review this after trying a few recipes. Then it became clear that it was going to take a bit longer.
The reason is that this book is a big part of this book is stories about how hosting a soup night can build a community and those stories need reading. They are warm, touching and inspiring. Being busy, reading those stories was a happy break. It's all about making a couple pots of soup- one vegetarian and one with meat and inviting the neighbors over on a regular basis or alternating hosting so that you have a soup night once a month. A time to catch up with the neighbors, form friendships and creating a true neighborhood. It reminded me a lot of when I was younger and always had a pot of soup on and people would just drop by for soup, coffee and company.
The recipes- I love making soup. It's one of my favorite things because soup is easy, it's warm and comforting on a cold winter night. The recipes aren't just for soup- there are some for breads to go with the soups, salads, desserts and other things to serve on a soup night. The soup recipes are fantastic and varied which is one of the best things about a cookbook that has lots of contributors. Creamy soups, cold fruit soups, hot minestrones, bean soups, and a bit of something for everyone.
Great recipes from the people and groups mentioned in the book, with gorgeous photography. Not every recipe is photographed, but a lot of them are.
Printed in full color, with a good index, this is one of my favorite cookbooks of the year. The recipes are clear and well written. There is a great tips section full of ideas for stocking your pantry to make soup on the fly, the pros and cons of dried vs canned beans and lots of other ideas.
I highly recommend this, both to read and as a cookbook.

Make Missouri Style Barbeque Sauce at home.
Combine all of the ingredients for the basting sauce in a pot. Cook until mixed. Use as a baking sauce for chicken or pork steak until nearly cooked. Then use the finishing sauce for the last part of the cooking.
Combine all ingredients and cool until slightly thick. Use during the last part of cooking the meat.
Hello Stephanie. I have found my Grandmothers family secret recipe for barbecue sauce. To give you an idea of how old this is I'm 66 my grandmother was born in 1900 so this is about 100-year-old recipe. There is one ingredient that I cannot find anywhere maybe you'll know what this is. Have you ever heard of Missouri sauce?
They may be the basting, I don't know what context that ingredient is being used in. If you can share that I might be of more help.
In the description of the recipe, you said that the first baste is with an onion flavored sauce. There is nothing onion flavored in the baste recipe. Is there an ingredient missing??
Sue is actually family to me, I was thinking of other family members that add onions to this initial basting sauce, hence my write up that way. So if you like onion, I would suggest you add some and give the basting sauce a slightly different flavor.


Note: From "The New Complete Book of Breads" by Bernard Clayton Jr. The rhythm of this recipe fits nicely into modern life. You use a food processor (although you may have to finish up by hand) to make the dough the night before. The rising (one only) happens while you sleep, and then the rolls are popped into the oven the next morning for a special breakfast or brunch.
Step 1If using a food processor, attach the short plastic dough blade and add the bread flour or all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, hot water, honey, shortening and lemon peel to the bowl of the processor. Pulse to make a batter-like dough. With the machine running, measure in 1 to 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour. Blend well. Turn off the machine and let the batter rest for 3 minutes, until the whole-wheat flour has been absorbed. Turn on the machine and gradually add 1 to 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour through the tube. Turn off the machine, remove the cover and feel the dough. It should be soft and a bit sticky, but a solid (not hard) mass.
Step 2If using a heavy-duty electric stand mixer, combine the bread flour, yeast and salt in the mixing bowl. Combine the hot water, honey, shortening and zest (check the temperature of the mixture; if it isn't hot enough, microwave for a few seconds to bring it up to the right temperature). Add the liquid mixture to the flour mixture in the bowl of the mixer. Beat to combine, then beat in 1 1/2 cups whole-wheat flour or enough to make a soft dough.
Step 4If using the mixer, knead with the dough hook, sprinkling in more bread flour or all-purpose flour as needed, until the dough is satiny and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes.
Step 5Form the kneaded dough into a mound and cover it with wax paper. Let it rest for 20 minutes.
Step 6Knead the dough for 30 seconds to press out any air bubbles. Using a sharp knife or dough blade, cut off pieces of dough a little bigger than golf balls. Roll between your hands to form balls. Place each ball on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, flattening slightly with the palm of your hand.
Step 7Brush the rolls with oil. Cover with plastic wrap that is loose enough to allow the rolls to rise but is sealed around the edges to hold in the moisture.
Step 8Place the sheets of rolls in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 9Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and let them sit, covered, at room temperature about 25 minutes while the oven heats to 400 degrees. Place a small cake pan on the floor of the oven to heat as the oven heats. Have about a dozen ice cubes ready.
Step 10Uncover the rolls. Place the rolls in the oven, then quickly and carefully place the ice cubes into the hot pan on the bottom of the oven (steam will rise immediately) and close the oven door.
Step 11Bake at 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes, until the rolls are browned and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Дионисио Фьеррос Альварес (, ) — испанский художник романтического стиля, специализирующийся на исторических и костюмерных сценах. В течение многих лет он был членом Королевской академии изящных искусств Сан-Фернандо.

Биография
Родился в , в возрасте четырнадцати лет уехал в Мадрид, где устроился подмастерьем к портному. Позже, как полагают, он стал слугой , у которого была обширная коллекция произведений искусства. Когда маркиз обнаружил, что он копирует некоторые картины, он был впечатлён и представил Фьерроса Хосе де Мадрасо. Это может быть недостоверным, но он учился у Мадрасо и делал копии в Музее Прадо. Возможно, он также учился в Париже и Италии.

Дебютировал на выставке в 1858 году с пятью портретами и тремя разными сценами, показанными в Сантьяго-де-Компостела, где он жил в то время. На  в 1860 году он получил приз за картину паломничества в Сантьяго, а в 1862 году занял второе место за изображение людей, покидающих местную мессу. В течение следующих нескольких лет он участвовал в нескольких международных выставках; получил медаль первой степени на Всемирной выставке в Филадельфии.

За это время он также создал фреску «Экстаз святой Терезы» для монастыря Эскориал. В 1886 году его картина, изображающая сцену из жизни короля Энрике III, была куплена . С 1885 по 1889 год он жил в Галисии, рисуя портреты, пейзажи и жанровые сцены от имени «Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos de País de Santiago de Compostela».

Через пять лет после возвращения в Мадрид он внезапно скончался, направляясь на корриду. В 1966 году большая ретроспектива была проведена в , а в 2000 году ещё одна крупная выставка была представлена в Виго.

SI-BONE, Inc. Announces Published Guidance Recommendation for Minimally Invasive SI Joint Fusion from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE)
NICE Recommendation for MIS SI Joint Fusion Surgery Describing a Lateral Transarticular Approach is Based Predominantly on iFuse Implant Clinical Evidence
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 7, 2017 -- SI-BONE, Inc., an innovative medical device company that pioneered the use of the iFuse Implant System® ("iFuse"), a triangular shaped minimally invasive surgical (MIS) device indicated for fusion for certain disorders of the sacroiliac (SI) joint, announced the U.K.'s National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) has published their Interventional Procedure Guidance document for minimally invasive sacroiliac joint fusion surgery for chronic sacroiliac pain.1 The guidance recommends that MIS SI joint fusion be available to properly diagnosed patients in the U.K. National Health System (NHS).
NICE develops guidance and quality standards in health and social care and is a worldwide leader in technology evaluations. NICE's role is to improve outcomes for people using the NHS and other public health services.2
The recommendation states that the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive sacroiliac (SI) joint fusion surgery, based primarily on the strong clinical evidence from the iFuse Implant, is adequate provided that standard arrangements are in place. They also recommend that the procedure be performed by trained surgeons using a lateral transarticular approach, and that patients have been properly diagnosed with SI joint dysfunction due to degenerative sacroiliitis or SI joint disruption.
"Use with standard arrangements is the most positive recommendation that NICE can make for an interventional procedure such as MIS SI joint fusion. Standard arrangements means that there is enough high-quality clinical evidence to show that the procedure is effective and safe enough for doctors to consider as a treatment option for appropriate patients," according to W. Carlton Reckling, MD, MBA, Chief Medical Officer and Vice President Medical Affairs at SI-BONE.
About SI-BONE, Inc.
SI-BONE, Inc. (San Jose, California) is a leading innovative medical device company dedicated to the development, manufacture and commercialization of minimally invasive surgical devices for the treatment of patients with low back symptoms related to certain sacroiliac (SI) joint disorders. SI-BONE, Inc. first received 510(k) clearance to market its iFuse Implant System ("iFuse") from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in November 2008. The CE mark for European commercialization was obtained in November 2010.
The iFuse Implant System provides a minimally invasive surgical solution to fuse the SI joint using patented triangular titanium implants that create an interference fit within the ilium and sacrum. The triangular implant shape, combined with the press fit insertion, is designed to provide immediate fixation by minimizing rotational motion. The implants have a porous surface that provide an ideal environment for bone ongrowth and ingrowth3, facilitating long-term fusion of the joint. The iFuse Implant is the only commercially available SI joint fusion device in the United States with significant published prospective clinical evidence that demonstrates safety, effectiveness and economic benefits, including three large multicenter studies, two of which are randomized controlled trials. Currently, there are 50 peer-reviewed publications supporting positive clinical outcomes, safety, biomechanics, and the economic benefits of the iFuse Implant (www.si-bone.com/results).
The iFuse Implant System is intended for sacroiliac fusion for conditions including sacroiliac joint dysfunction that is a direct result of sacroiliac joint disruption and degenerative sacroiliitis. This includes conditions whose symptoms began during pregnancy or in the peripartum period and have persisted postpartum for more than 6 months. There are potential risks associated with the iFuse Implant System. It may not be appropriate for all patients and all patients may not benefit.

The United States space agency says its Mars exploration vehicle has discovered chemical substances necessary for life.
Scientists reported that NASA's Curiosity rover found large amounts of organic molecules in 3.5 billion-year-old rock in an area called Gale Crater. The area on Mars is believed to have once contained a large lake.
The discovery of organic molecules suggests that ancient conditions on Mars may have supported life.
Jennifer Eigenbrode is an astrobiologist with NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland. She said there are three possible ways the organic material was created.
"The first one would be life, which we don't know about. The second would be meteorites. And the last one is geological processes, meaning the rock-forming processes themselves," she said.
NASA announced that Curiosity also discovered sharp seasonal increases in methane gas in the Martian atmosphere. This could also support the case for life. Ninety-five percent of the methane gas found in Earth's atmosphere is produced by biological activity. Methane can come from animal and plant life, as well as the environment.
However, researchers said it is too early to know if the methane on Mars is related to life. This is because the gas - just like organic molecules – can also be formed by geological processes.
Eigenbrode believes the latest discoveries give scientists a good reason to keep looking.
NASA's latest findings were announced during a press conference last week and also released in the publication Science.
This 2018 illustration from NASA shows the InSight lander drilling into Mars. InSight, short for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport, launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base on Saturday, May 5, 2011.
Earlier this week, NASA Administrator James Bridenstine met with reporters to discuss the agency's goals. He said there will likely be major changes related to the International Space Station (ISS) program.
President Donald Trump's recent budget requests for 2019 have called for ending space station funding by 2025.
The U.S. government estimated it has spent more than $75 billion on building and supporting the International Space Station. After the space shuttle program ended in 2011, the U.S. has paid Russia to transport its astronauts to the space station.
The first piece of the International Space Station was launched in 1998 and was completely finished in 2011. It has been used to collect information and carry out many experiments.
Bridenstine said NASA is already in talks with private companies about possibly taking over the space station after 2025. But he added that any changes would have to be agreed to by the other 21 nations involved in the project.
But no matter what happens with the space station, the NASA chief said the U.S. remains committed to keep sending astronauts into space for many years to come.

Vatican City (officially Vatican City State) is a country and the smallest country in the world by size, at 0.44 km². It is an enclave, which means it is completely surrounded by the city of Rome, the capital of Italy (it is one of only four countries in the world like this, the others being San Marino, also in Italy, St.Martin in France and Lesotho in Africa). It was established on February 11, 1929, with the Lateran Agreement that was signed by Benito Mussolini and Pope Pius XI. The Vatican City is the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church and its government, the Holy See.
The Head of State is the Pope, now Pope Francis, former cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio, was elected on 13 March 2013. It is also important for its culture and art. The Vatican's masterpieces are very well known in the world: St. Peter's Square, St. Peter's Basilica, the Sistine Chapel, the Vatican Museums and the Apostolic Palace, where the Pope lives. There are also hundreds of other sculptures and pictures.
It is supposed that this originally uninhabited part of Rome (the ager vaticanus) had always been considered sacred, even before the arrival of Christianity. In 326 the first church was built on the supposed site of the tomb of Saint Peter, and from then on the area started to become more populated.
Italy used to be many different, smaller states, rather than one country. The Pope used to rule the Papal States, which included most of Italy. Catholic popes had generally tried to stop Italy from becoming one country because they feared they would lose their control of at least one of the Papal States. In 1861 Italy was unified under the King of Savoy, but Rome and Latium remained unconquered. On September 20, 1870 Italian troops invaded. Rome became capital of the new kingdom.
The Pope claimed he was a prisoner of the Italian state and excommunicated all the people who helped invade the Papal state. This stopped Catholics from taking part in public life under Catholic government.
In 1929 Benito Mussolini, decided to sign an agreement with the Holy See, called the Lateran Treaty, which created the Vatican State. Another treaty gave the Vatican money each year to compensate for the lost territories.
The government structure is a theocracy with the Pontifical leader being the highest authority. A bishop is elected by the College of Cardinals to become the new Pope and leader of the Holy See and the Romans Catholic Church. The Pope also holds the title of "Bishop of Rome".
The religion of the city is the Roman Catholic Church.
St. Peter's square seen from the basilica.
The Vatican City is situated on the Vatican Hill in the northwestern part of Rome, several hundred metres west of the Tiber river. Its borders (3.2 km in total, all with Italy) closely follow the city wall constructed to protect the Pope from outside attack. The situation is more complex at the famous St. Peter's Square in front of the St. Peter's Basilica, where the correct border is the middle of the round area surrounded by Bernini's columns. It is the smallest sovereign state in the world (108.7 acres). In addition to Vatican City the State includes certain extra-territorial properties in Italy belonging to the Holy See (Major Basilicas, Curial and diocesan offices, Castel Gandolpho). The Pope is the Head of State, though he governs through the Pontifical Commission for the State of Vatican City. The Gubernator manages the day to day affairs of the State.
Its climate is naturally much the same as Rome's; a temperate, mediterranean clime with mild, rainy winters from September to mid-May and hot, dry summers from May to September.

This unique, noncommercial economy is supported financially by contributions (known as Peter's pence) from Roman Catholics throughout the world, the sale of postage stamps, coins and tourist mementos, fees for admission to museums, and the sale of publications. The incomes and living standards of lay workers are comparable to, or somewhat better than, those of counterparts who work in the city of Rome.
Almost all of Vatican City's 800 citizens live inside the Vatican's walls. The Vatican citizenry consists mostly of clergy, including high dignitaries, priests, nuns, as well as the famous Swiss Guard, a voluntary military force. There are also about 3,000 lay workers who comprise the majority of the Vatican work force, but who reside outside the Vatican.
The official language is Latin, the otherwise extinct language that originated in Rome and has remained in use in the Roman Catholic Church. Italian and, to a lesser extent, other languages are generally used for most conversations, publications and broadcasts.
The Vatican City is itself of great cultural significance. Buildings such as St. Peter's Basilica or the Sistine Chapel are home to what is considered some of most beautiful art in the world, which includes works by artists such as Botticelli, Bernini and Michelangelo. It also has a large and valuable library and the collections of the Vatican Museums are of the highest historical, scientific and cultural importance.

Amanda Knox: Sexually Harassed Behind Bars & Told She Was HIV Positive
Oct. 10 2011, Published 7:00 a.m. ET
As Amanda Knox ventured out for the first time over the weekend in her hometown of Seattle, to pick up toothpaste and a candy bar, we're learning new details about the terrifying four years she spent in Italy's Capanne prison -- a period that included sexual harassment and prison officials telling her (falsely) that she was HIV positive.
ABC News reported the American exchange student claims she was subjected to numerous incidents in which prison officials took liberties with her in a below-the-belt manner: On one occasion, a male guard broke policy and entered her cell alone and made sexually-based remarks; another incident consisted of a high-ranking authority at the prison calling her in his office for a late night meeting in which he wanted to talk about sex.
Most shockingly, the 24-year-old said she was falsely told she was HIV Positive by prison officials, who forced her to compose a list of all the sexual partners she'd had -- a list that was subsequently leaked to Italian media and published.
Knox wrote in her diary at the time of the faux diagnosis: "Please oh please, let it not be true. I don't want to die."
"I think the Italian courts ... practically made sure that Amanda was going to be harassed in prison," Vanity Fair's Judy Bachrach told the network, "since they made her sex life so much of a focus of the first trial."
Knox could sue the prison for the alleged indiscretions, but would have to go back to Italy to file such a suit, ABC reported.
Knox, who last week was acquitted in the killing of British exchange student Meredith Kercher, promptly returned to Washington. The network also reported that Kercher's family might file a multi-million dollar lawsuit against Knox in her death.

The Best Art Books of the Year Happen to Make Great Last-Minute Gifts
Bless their coffee table with some of our favorite tomes from the past year.
If you're still stumped on ideas for the stragglers on your list (and blew past the cutoff date for any of our sterling last-minute gift suggestions), might we suggest another bright idea? Art books. Whereas a physical gift—perhaps a disappointing pair of socks or a candle—can emphasize a lack of depth or thought (never one of our picks, of course), a really bang-up coffee table book does the opposite. It telegraphs your taste, your in-the-know-ness, and how much you can nail the recipient's singular love of maximalist fashion or niche bookstores.
And any of the best art and photo books of the past year—spanning the universe of David Hockney's latest iPad-equipped art to stylist and editor Katie Grand's instantly recognizable spreads—would be a welcome gift for any unabashed aesthetes. Below, a curated selection of the meatiest and most brow-raising ones published in the past year, as cherry-picked by the global GQ visuals team. If you're local to any of these brick-and-mortar establishments, pop in in-person to scoop something up. Posting up in the suburbs with fam already? Many of them are available at big box retailers if you're stuck Prime-ing your big, beautiful book this year (sorry, we know, we know). And just think, with one of these, they'll always have something to remember you by: They'll be flipping through it for inspiration all year long.
Browse all of our gift guides in one place, and get even more GQ-vetted-and-approved gift ideas by signing up for the GQ Recommends newsletter.
All products featured on GQ are independently selected by our editors. However, when you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.
'Steven Klein,' by Steven Klein
Steven Klein is one of the last standing godfathers of fashion photography (and most recently photographed Zoë Kravitz for the December cover of GQ). This eponymous coffee table book is the first survey of his work, which spans decades and includes all of his greatest hit collaborations with everyone from Madonna to Rihanna to Ashton Kutcher—who you'll find taped to a pole six feet in the air on page 257. Klein's 1998 Fight Club-era Brad Pitt editorial for W has been a north star for GQ's photo team, but it's the less familiar deep cuts like his 2004 portrait of Pitt fully shallacked in glossy red paint that makes this definitive collection a once-in-a-lifetime, must-own treasure.
'The Colors of Sies Marjan,' by Sander Lak
Though the technicolor dreamcoat fashion that was Sies Marjan was short-lived (the brand was only in business from 2016-2020), this 400-page tome proves that creative director Sander Lak's cult following will live forever. This book might as well be a Pantone fan, with its pages and pages of endlessly inspiring electric color palettes.
$65 at Rizzoli
'My Window,' by David Hockney
It's amusing to imagine the artist David Hockney—in his mid-80s and famous for paintings like A Bigger Splash and Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures)—using an iPad to create work, but he's actually been experimenting with different mediums and technology since the 80s. My Window, a collection of 120 drawings of his bedroom window in Yorkshire, was originally published as a large-format—expensive and now sold out—collector's edition, but has been brought back as an artist's book that won't break the bank. Might not fit a Christmas stocking, but it will look smart on a coffee table.
$150 at Taschen
'Notes Towards Becoming a Spell,' by Shikeith
The artist Shikeith's first monograph contains a series of studio portraits of the Black male that are so powerful and so spectacular that it rendered us speechless. Suffice it to say that this book is a must-have for any collection.
$65 at Aperture
'un/Masked,' by Elizaveta Porodina
Elizaveta Porodina, who transitioned from a clinical psychologist to surrealist portrait photographer, has published a debut book that is a rolling landscape of dark, romantic pictures that transcend fashion and beauty portraiture. A longtime GQ collaborator, most recently shooting Brad Pitt for the August 2022 issue, Porodina's pictures feel like they were made on another planet where everyone and everything is sexier, moodier, and drenched in colors that couldn't possibly be produced on Earth. Buy her book and follow her on Instagram for a daily view into her stunningly rendered psyche.
$62 at Artbook
'Digital Nudes,' by David Lynch
As a follow-up to David Lynch's 2017 Nudes book, Digital Nudes sees the director this time experimenting with the female form as digital photographer. It's not surprising that the man who gave us Mulholland Drive, Twin Peaks, and Blue Velvet can just as easily execute a dramatic, eerie love letter to the female form. Lynch's passions have always extended beyond film—Digital Nudes is the latest intimate window into his twisted visual brain.
'It Was Once My Universe,' by Marie Tomanova
Having moved from the Czech Republic to the US in 2011 knowing no one, GQ contributor Marie Tomanova carved out a brilliant career capturing New York City's youth culture, which were well-documented in her first two books, Young American and New York New York.
Deviating from those themes, It Was Once My Universe is instead a rich exploration into Tomanova's identity which sees her turning the lens on herself and the place she called home for much of her life. This is her third book published in three years, and with book signings in cities like Prague, Paris, NY, and Tokyo, Tomanova proves that the world is now her oyster.
$60 at Marie Tomanova
'Tears and Tearsheets,' by Katie Grand
If the pictures in Katie Grand's enormous career retrospective anthology look familiar to you, it's probably because everyone you follow on Instagram has pulled something from Grand's ouevre for their moodboards. Thumbing through the raw scanned spreads feels like reading a mega-magazine that combines all the coolest editorials from 90s and 2000s style bibles like Dazed & Confused, Pop, The Face, Another, Love, and Perfect magazine.
$60 at Dover Street Market
'Revolution Is Love: A Year of Black Trans Liberation,' by Qween Jean
It's a cliché for a reason: Love has healing powers. This book will help you engage with many of our culture's enduring ills without leaving you feeling hopeless.
$45 $42 at Bookshop
'American Polychronic,' by Roe Ethridge
American Polychronic is an interwoven narrative of Roe Ethridge's personal art practice with commercial assignments made between 2000 and 2021. The sprawl of color pictures includes his greatest hits and deep cuts: Andrew WK's bloody nose, the Winklevoss twins, Telfar advertisements, and twisted still lives galore. Magazine spreads and fashion ads are shown unabashedly in their commercial layouts, creating a dialogue that elevates commerce and humbles art. It's a must-have for any lover of modern color photography.
$70 at Mack Books
'Amiri Wes Lang,' by Hart Leshkina
This massive collection meticulously documents Amiri's Fall Winter 2022 collection in collaboration with artist Wes Lang. Photography duo Hart Lëshkina spent months documenting every aspect of the creative process, including pictures of the sketches to studies of Lang's hand-painted garments in his studio in LA to behind the scenes reportage of the runway show. It's a fascinating 360-degree view of the intimate details that make up the collaboration between artist and fashion designer.
$135 at Amiri
'Some Of Miwa's Favorite Dashwood Friends Of The Day,' by Miwa Susuda and Nick Sethi
If Dashwood Books were a school, the customers would be the students and Some Of Miwa's Favorite Dashwood Friends Of The Day its yearbook. This is a charming compilation of photographs by Miwa Susuda—Dashwood Books manager and photobook specialist—and a FOMO-inducing documentation of one of New York's best art bookstores. Luckily for you, if you buy it from Dashwood, you'll get a signed copy by Miwa and Nick Sethi, the photographer and founder of DAKOTA (the book's publisher). Give a copy to your friends and maybe you'll get voted Most Popular.
$30 at Dashwood Books
'Wolfgang Tillmans: To look without fear,' by Wolfgang Tillmans
Comprising over 400 of his works, To look without fear is a jaw-dropping, robust survey of Wolfgang Tillmans' career that is mostly known for photography but truly defies categorization. This book accompanies his recent exhibition of the same name—the largest of his career—at the Museum of Modern Art. Neither are to be missed.
'Acid House As It Happened,' by Dave Swindells
Sometimes you just want to look at good, old, pre-cell phone collections of nightlife photography. Dark, dirty, sweaty, dancing, candid, and not a bit of self-conscious posing in sight.

33 Delightful Valentine's Day Gifts That She'll Actually Want


Each drum is made in a sacred manner. It is smudged with the smoke of sage, cedar and sweetgrass to remove any unwanted energies and to help bring in the energy of Love. Prayers of thanks are offered to the elk that give their bodies for the use of the two-leggeds as well as for the wooden hoops and all the other materials that are used. Prayers are made for each drum before starting its construction, when it is finished and when it is painted. It is asked for the drum to be an instrument of Love in each person's life who it goes to, for anyone who hears it, as well as in the world and the universe. Each drum goes to the person it is meant to be with and helps to bring what they need into their life. All this is possible and anything is possible with God, the Source of all Love and there is no power but God. This is not about any religion, but simply living from the heart. Living in this manner is available to every person. It is through the gift of Trust and Faith that our lives become filled with happiness, regardless of outside circumstances or what is happening in the world.
Drumming is one way to release ourselves from the grip of this outward reality which is not real. Black Elk, the famous Lakota holy man said, "The voice of the drum is an offering to the Spirit of the World. Its sound arouses the mind and makes humans feel the mystery and power of things." Drumming opens our hearts to let healing occur. Every culture holds the energy of the heartbeat that lives in the drum, giving all people the ability to share in the language of the universe, the sound of life.

Gays of Our Lives: A Cry For Help
Anthony D. Langford
In this week's edition of Gays Of Our Lives:
Alone and rejected, a troubled Scott decides to take his own life on Hollyoaks. Meanwhile, Kyle resorts to blackmail to get what he wants and James faces the death of his brother Nathan.
Jez pressures Mickey to come out to his family on Casualty, but there could be bigger problems when an attack lands Mickey in the hospital, leading to a confrontation between Mickey's brother Scott (who murdered Ethan's brother Cal) and Ethan.
On River City, Stevie realizes his mother knows he's HIV, but her bigger concern is that he hasn't told Robbie about his condition. And things take an ugly turn when Scarlett attempts to tell Robbie herself.
Finn and Ross become drug dealers on Emmerdale, but Ross' war with Robert and Aaron could put the business in jeopardy.
Dom's drug addiction spins out of control on Holby City and Lofty comes to his rescue. A friendship blossoms between the two of them, but will it lead to more?
All this, plus more clips, spoilers and teasers!
PICKS AND PANS
Casualty (U.K.)
I know Scott is a racist murderer, but his ass looked sweet in those tight jeans. Damn.
I found much of the events of this episode to be kind of unbelievable. Just for their own protection, the hospital Ethan wouldn't have been allowed to treat Mickey. Too much liability. The subplot with the Middle Eastern woman and her daughter was so heavy handed and pointless. It just seemed like a distraction to all the truly tense dramas playing out. I think the show would have been better served to go with a completely unrelated story. But it was nice to see the young woman who played Phoebe on Hollyoaks. I liked her. Still annoys me that HO killed her like they did.
I also, given the history, can't believe Scott can just walk around the hospital like he did. Security can and should have thrown him out. I guess the story isn't over yet. I don't think Ethan is going to let this go. And well, Scott has some big ones given the attitude he showed in this clip.
Does Mickey really believe that Scott is innocent or is he covering for his brother? And I wish we were seeing more of Mickey and Jez as a couple. We're clearly supposed to believe they care deeply for each other. But I'd like to know why Jez would take such a huge risk with his life and at work to date someone who brings so much baggage to the table. Mickey's cute and all, but what else does he bring to the table besides a great head of hair?
Clearly the show is setting up for a major explosion with the reveal of Mickey being gay, his relationship with a black man and the truth about Scott having killed Cal. And I just don't see this ending well for anybody involved.
Emmerdale (U.K.)
What is this show doing with the Barton family? They used to have great stories for them, especially Ross, but Emmerdale really seems to have lost interest in doing anything good with them. Both Finn and Ross are still oddly single and Pete is involved in the dumbest love triangle. Terrible.
Who doesn't check their account regularly? Nobody in this day and age. I find it very hard to believe Emma hasn't looked at her account since James died. Nope. In fact, none of these people are checking their business or personal accounts on a regular basis. There are other ways to tell this story without making everyone seem dumb. Then again, given that this plot point is so out the blue, probably not.
Leyla was totally out of line breaking Finn's confidence. I'd never trust her with anything.
Finn turning to prostitution to make money could be an interesting storyline with all sorts of drama and complications. Too bad the show chose not to pursue it. It would be a lot better than what they are choosing to do.
I liked the scene where Ross came to Finn's rescue, but finding a drug empire in their backyard? Please. And Ross talked about not doing something stupid, but trying to cash in on a situation like this asks for the foolishness they're about to put themselves in. I mean, do they really think these dealers won't come back for their stuff?
Holby City (U.K.)
Seems to me we've seen more of Dom's grieving Arthur than we have had of Morven doing the same. But then the show always spent more time on Dom and Arthur's relationship than they did with Arthur and Morven. I always kind of felt like his relationship with her was thrown in without a lot of thought.
Could the show be more obvious that they're going to pair Dom and Lofty? These scenes are designed to go in that direction, especially with Dom saying things like 'we're never going to mean anything to each other.' If that's not the start of a love story I don't know what is.
I'm not sure how I feel about it. I can't see much chemistry between the two guys yet. And it would be nice if the show wouldn't pair them simply because they're the only two gay men on the canvas. But TV doesn't work that way. So it's inevitable. Lofty certainly is different from Dom's previous lovers so there's that. I just hope the show takes their time and doesn't rush it.
Hollyoaks (U.K.)
I really don't care about Ste or his problems. I wish he would go away and disappear for good. How can he keep having violent blackouts, but he's sure he didn't kill Amy? But I did like Darren's Wentworth Miller comment. Tony did the right thing by calling the cops on Ste. Harry is willing to throw his life away for this loser and thank God Tony stopped him. Tony should have never approved of this relationship in the first place. Everything Tony warned Harry about a relationship with Ste turned out to be right.
So is Ryan in denial about his bisexuality? That's how it comes across. Or is there more to it? I'm confused about that plot point.
Scott needs to butt out of things that don't concern him. This is one of the many, many things I don't like about this character.
Did Harry really think turning the drug dealers (while Ste is still in jail) was a good idea? What did he think would happen?
I love that on the same episode where Esther and Kim break up, a new lesbian lands in town and there's an instant triangle. LOL! But isn't it completely inappropriate for Farah to be dating her patient's ex-wife? I mean, there are no rules against it, I guess. But still…! Oh well, at least Hollyoaks keeps bringing on new gays and lesbians and treats it like it's no big deal.

I watch a lot of television, probably too much. But can you really watch too much TV? I've yet to find out. Anyway, I especially love TV when they give us positive portrayals of gays, something that has gotten better but we're still fighting for. I've written about gays in television for many years first at the much missed After Elton, then New Now Next and now at TV Source. It's kind of a passion of mine and I look forward to sharing it with you.
