Evanescence’s Amy Lee – Supreme Rock Goddesses
Evanescence‘s Amy Lee has become an idol for countless hopeful female singers, songwriters and pianists worldwide.The American songstress became rock’s most influential female with the release of the Evanescence breakthrough album ‘Fallen’ in 2003. Her performances on ‘Bring Me to Life,’ ‘My Immortal,’ ‘Call Me When You’re Sober’ and more hits have kept her in the limelight for a decade, with her gothic beauty and unmistakable talent rallying up a cult fan base rivaling almost any active musician today. After completing a heavy 2012 tour schedule, Lee is currently taking a bit of a break to “figure things out.”

Illinois bad credit costing taxpayers millions | News-Gazette.com
Illinois is paying the price — in both cash and reputation — for years of ignored warnings about its pension crisis, the worst in the nation.Largely because of its unfunded retirement plans, Illinois has replaced longtime bottom-dweller California as having the lowest credit rating of any state. So when Illinois tries to borrow money, it faces the same problem as the spendthrift cousin: far higher interest rates.The states financial failings are so well-known, they have inspired a name on Wall Street — the "Illinois effect," a reference to the fact that cities, universities and other bond-issuing entities here must pay more in interest, even if they are responsible spenders.

Bernanke stop inflation. 0% for veterans and elderly.
http://lewrockwell.com/faber/faber161.html *Marc Faber: People With Assets Are All Doomed* *by Jason Farrell* */Daily Reckoning /* When the always cheerful Dr. Marc Faber gave his midyear forecast to Barron’s, it was, as you might expect, predictably sunny. ‘People with assets are all doomed,’ he began, ‘because prices are grossly inflated globally for stocks, bonds and collectibles.’ Faber warns the Federal Reserves low interest rates could lead to a global crash. Faber acknowledged the Fed’s role in rising equity prices this year. And suggested the party wouldn’t last, due to the uneven flow of money through the economy. ‘I own equities, and I should thank Mr. Bernanke. The Fed has been flooding the system with money. The problem is the money doesn’t flow into the system evenly. It doesn’t increase economic activity and asset prices in concert. Instead, it creates dangerous excesses in countries and asset classes… ‘Now money is flowing into the high-end asset market – things like stocks, bonds, art, wine, jewelry and luxury real estate. The art auction houses are seeing record sales. Property prices in the Hamptons rose 35% last year. Sandy Weill [the former head of Citigroup] bought a Manhattan condominium in 2007 for $43.7 million. He sold it last year for $88 million.’ Faber amended his prediction last year that there would be a 20% correction last fall:‘We might be in the final acceleration phase now. The Standard & Poor’s 500 could rally to 1,750 or even 2,000 in the next month or two before collapsing.’ Faber gave readers some insight into his own portfolio: no US stocks, 25% gold, 25% non-US equities, including some Asian real estate. He noted he was ‘tempted to short the S&P or the Russell 2000.’He also owns several Japanese stocks, noting that ‘Japanese stocks made a generational low in 2012 and won’t go below that.’ To read Marc Faber is to be grimly aware of all the uncertainty in the world that could erupt at any time. Collapsing bond markets. Accelerating inflation. A Chinese economic implosion. Civil unrest. Even a pandemic, Faber suggested, could end this year’s equities rally. ‘I don’t know how the world will look in five years,’ Faber lamented ‘so I have heeded Ray Dalio’s advice to diversify.’ Peace,

Big data, science jobs, privacy dangers, business opportunities
There is plenty of fish in the sea but that does not mean it is easy to catch, clean, and cook even one fish.
Just because the government collects data does not mean they are smart enough to do anything with it. There are many spectacular intelligence failures. Few if any successes. But there will be a lot of spending and waste. This will divert money away from science, much of which is very interesting and useful.
I have always been fascinated by difficult computational problems and intend to do a lot more on it. I am looking for the hardest problem that I think I can solve. Probably in the area of DNA genetics + foods and other products purchased + features of the environment + lifestyle => Obamacare health care spending. How to reprogram society for health and survival. The hardest problem is getting the data. I think I can do the math and computer architecture. My popular book will list some practical common sense suggestions that are more important but probably too controversial. People are irrational so they prefer to spend pounds on cures instead of an ounce of prevention.
I was walking with an IBM mainframe COBOL programmer from Kansas City. I hear that American Airlines and others have a huge facility in Kansas City. Every pilot, seat, plane, staff, customer, bill, travel agent, web sites, must somehow be planned carefully respecting the weather and other problems. Lots of detail code in Assembler. Has worked good for decades so they cannot change that code to modern computing systems. Scheduling requires difficult linear programming probably written in Fortran. Already been done so I will not be interested in it.
Very interesting article:

Google Expands Its Boundaries, Buying Waze for $1 Billion - NYTimes.com
http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/06/11/google-expands-its-boundaries-buying-waze-for-1-billion/ http://techcrunch.com/2013/06/11/its-official-google-buys-waze-giving-a-social-data-boost-to-its-location-and-mapping-business/ After months of speculation, the fate ofWaze , the social-mapping-location-data startup, is finally decided: Google isbuying the company , giving the search giant a social boost to its already-strong mapping and mobile businesses. Speculation has had the sale at $1 billion to $1.3 billion, and so far there is no price on the deal, but a source tells TechCrunch that it was done for $1.1 billion. *Update*: Waze has alsopublished a blog post on the acquisition. In it, CEO Noam Bardin writes that CEO Larry Page, Google GEO VP Brian McClendon and the Google Maps teams “We are excited about the prospect of working with the Google Maps team to enhance our search capabilities and to join them in their ongoing efforts to build the best map of the world.” He also notes that “nothing practical will change,” with the company, now pushing 50 million users, “will maintain our community, brand, service and organization.” He also raises the subject of why Waze decided to sell. Bardin says that it was motivated by the fact that an IPO appeared the route that would take the company more into being focused on returns and less on growing as a product for users. “Choosing the path of an IPO often shifts attention to bankers, lawyers and the happiness of Wall Street, and we decided we’d rather spend our time with you, the Waze community.” Of course, the burden of getting a return on the investment now become’s Google’s, but as you can see below there are a number of reasons why it would buy Waze, anyway.

Illinois? Blue Brain Supercomputer Simulation $1,000,000,000
http://www.kurzweilai.net/billion-euro-brain-simulation-and-graphene-projects-win-european-funds Billion-euro brain simulation and graphene projects win European funds
January 24, 2013 Neocortical column studied in Henry Markram’s Blue Brain project (Credit: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne) The European Commission has selected the two research proposals it will fund to the tune of half-a-billion euros ($650 million U.S.) each, after a two-year, high-profile contest, /Nature News/ reports . The Human Brain Project, led by neuroscientist Henry Markram at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, plans to simulate the human brain in a supercomputer. (See “Brain in a box ”). The other project, called Graphene, is led by theoretical physicist Jari Kinaret at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg, Sweden. It will develop the potential of graphene — an ultrathin, flexible and conducting form of carbon — along with related materials for applications in computing, batteries and sensors. The projects expect to receive €1 billion ($1.3 billion) over ten years, half to be provided by the European Commission and half by participants. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Brain_Project The *Blue Brain Project* is an attempt to create a synthetic brain by reverse-engineering the mammalian brain down to the molecular level. The aim of the project, founded in May 2005 by the Brain and Mind Institute of the /École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne / (Switzerland) is to study the brain's architectural and functional principles. The project is headed by the Institute's director, Henry Markram . Using a Blue Gene supercomputer running Michael Hines's NEURON software , the simulation does not consist simply of an artificial neural network , but involves a biologically realistic model of neurons .^[1] ^[2] ^[3] It is hoped that it will eventually shed light on the nature of consciousness .^[3] There are a number of sub-projects, including the Cajal Blue Brain , coordinated by the Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid (CeSViMa), and others run by universities and independent laboratories. Goals[edit ] Neocortical column modelling[edit ] The initial goal of the project, completed in December 2006,^[4] was the simulation of a rat neocortical column , which is considered by some researchers to be the smallest functional unit of the neocortex ^[5] ^[6] (the part of the brain thought to be responsible for higher functions such as conscious thought). Such a column is about 2 mm tall, has a diameter of 0.5 mm and contains about 60,000 neurons in humans; rat neocortical columns are very similar in structure but contain only 10,000 neurons (and 10^8 synapses ). Between 1995 and 2005, Markram mapped the types of neurons and their connections in such a column. Whole brain simulation[edit ] Main article: Whole brain emulation A longer term goal is to build a detailed, functional simulation of the physiological processes in the human brain: "It is not impossible to build a human brain and we can do it in 10 years," Henry Markram, director of the Blue Brain Project said in 2009 at the TED conference in Oxford.^[7] In a BBC World Service interview he said: "If we build it correctly it should speak and have an intelligence and behave very much as a human does."^[7] Cajal Blue Brain used theMagerit supercomputer (CeSViMa ) The Cajal Blue Brain^[14] is coordinated by the Technical University of Madrid and uses the facilities of the Supercomputing and Visualization Center of Madrid and its supercomputer Magerit . The Cajal Institute also participates in this collaboration. The main lines of research currently being pursued at Cajal Blue Brain include neurological experimentation and computer simulations. Nanotechnology, in the form of a newly designed brain microscope, plays an important role in its research plans.^[15] See also[edit ] * Artificial brain * Artificial intelligence * Artificial neural network * CoDi * Cognitive science * Human Brain Project (EU) * List of brain mapping topics and related * Neural network * Neuroinformatics * Project Joshua Blue * Simulation argument * Simulated reality * Social simulation * Whole brain emulation
