Phish Used Quotes From A Phantasy Tour Thread In Their Halloween PhishBill
One tradition that has carried through the entirety of Phish’s Halloween performances is the PhishBill, a program guide handed out at the show’s opening to preview the festivities to come. This year’s edition not only proved that The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars was the album of choice, but came equipped with a major article written by frequent Rolling Stone contributor David Fricke. Of course, the band indulged their sense of humor with some funny inserts, including an advertisement that poked fun at producer Bob Ezrin’s decision to leave “Mercury” off of their recently-released album Big Boat.The back page of the PhishBill was a fake advertisement for “Phishileaks,” playing off the newsworthy Wikileaks that has been releasing classified documents to the public. The Phishileaks page featured fictional quotes from various well-known sources, like Rolling Stone, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker and more. With a little digging, we found that some of these quotes actually belong to members of the popular forum Phantasy Tour, which features a number of free-for-all discussions on the doings of Phish.The quotes were pulled from a thread discussing a potential 13-date run at Madison Square Garden next summer, something that has been heavily rumored but not yet confirmed. Quotes like “I’m not sure you know what gullible means. It’s from a very reliable source. You can write it off all you want though. Then when it’s officially announced you can go ahead and eat a d***” and “You people are unbelievable” can be found here.Another quote, “They don’t even know what they are doing next summer. If your source is accurate, then this is a preliminary thing that is in the works, but details won’t be worked out until later, and it could EASILY fall apart,” is taken from another page of the same thread.You can see the full PhishBill on the band’s website. Of course, Phish using quotes from a discussion of an extended MSG run draws its own questions about those rumors, but we’ll reserve speculation for another time.
This is one of a series of occasional stories on the measures that Schools at Harvard are taking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.Going green at Harvard Medical School (HMS) means implementing sustainability measures in classrooms, offices, and — perhaps most challenging — laboratories.In 2008, Harvard President Drew Faust announced the University’s goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 30 percent by 2016 (from 2006 levels, including growth). In response to this goal, HMS has developed and is implementing a Greenhouse Gas Reduction Plan.Optimizing the performance of mechanical, electrical, and other systems in buildings, a process called recommissioning, will help the School to reach its greenhouse gas goal. In the Warren Alpert building, the first at HMS to undergo formal recommissioning, laboratories present unique obstacles.“In a normal environment, you can recirculate air and introduce a percentage of fresh, outside air,” said Peter Stroup, director of facilities and maintenance operations at HMS. “In the laboratories, you always need 100 percent fresh air. That’s extremely intensive because you have to take all of that outdoor air and condition it — whether you humidify, dehumidify, cool, or heat it — before it gets into the lab. It’s a huge challenge for us in terms of reducing energy usage because we’re not reusing any portion of that air. The question for us then is how best do we manage temperature, and how best do we manage the number of times we change the air in a room per hour?”In addition to recommissioning efforts, HMS has invested in green renovations. The DePace Lab, renovated in 2008, was the first wet lab at Harvard to achieve LEED certification. The School has also re-examined its waste stream. Reusable biohazard boxes and sharps containers (for the disposal of needles, syringes, etc.) are the latest in a series of waste-saving measures.“The previous sharps containers were made of plastic, and the entire container needed to be disposed of after each use. The biohazardous waste boxes were big cardboard boxes that needed to be double-bagged, and the entire box and the bags were disposed of,” said Longwood sustainability program manager Claire Berezowitz.In the wake of a successful pilot program, which started in 2009, the entire campus has converted to reusable plastic containers made by Stericycle.“The boxes are picked up by Stericycle, emptied, sterilized, and returned, so we’ve eliminated the need to buy cardboard and have it destroyed,” says Robert Christiano, associate director of Campus Operations, who was instrumental in establishing and managing the reusable sharps and the reusable biohazardous waste box programs.“With the biohazard boxes alone, we’ve saved over 21,000 cardboard boxes from going into the waste stream,” said Berezowitz.Last year, HMS facilities completed an evaluation of water-saving units for autoclaves, devices that use steam to sterilize laboratory equipment.“When the autoclave discharges its wastewater, the water is too hot to be returned to the city system, so it has to be quenched with cooler water in order to get it to the right temperature for discharge, about 100 degrees,” said Stroup.“The old system would continuously dump tap water into something that looks like a funnel beneath the autoclave,” said Allen Hebert, HMS energy specialist. “The new water saver collects the water that’s being dispensed at 200 degrees and quenches it with domestic water, but only to the extent that it needs — it doesn’t dump water down the drain constantly. If you have five gallons that need to be quenched, it will dump in a gallon to cool it down. … The savings are very substantial.”HMS is proceeding with the installation of the water-saving units in more than 50 remaining autoclaves on campus. These units are expected to save $200,000 worth of water per year.Additionally, HMS expects to install electric steam generators in the autoclaves, with a projected savings of more than $500,000 worth of steam per year. These portable steam generators will produce 200-degree clean steam for autoclave units on an as-needed basis, eliminating the need to remain connected to a constant supply of gas-fired central steam.“The difference is that the steam we buy is much more greenhouse gas intensive than electricity is,” said Stroup. “We’re experimenting with this so that we can reduce our footprint.”As part of the School’s greenhouse gas reduction plan, HMS facilities created an energy metering website, which tracks the School’s energy usage. The interactive tool updates every 15 minutes with real-time data collected by meters located in buildings throughout the campus. The tool can also be used to compare historical energy usage patterns by hour, day, week, or month.“You can look at total campus usage, individual building usage, or by utility,” said Stroup. “We had that information available on our website previously, but not in such concise a format, and now it has been translated into more understandable units, like number of trees or barrels of oil consumed, which each of us can better relate to.”The dashboard is displayed on a touch-screen monitor in the office building at 641 Huntington Ave. (recently certified LEED Gold), and four additional monitors will soon be deployed in other common areas across the campus.HMS facilities and operations staff work closely with the student group SEAM (Students for Environmental Awareness in Medicine). A tap water filtration system, the direct result of collaboration between SEAM members and staff, was installed off the second-floor atrium in the Tosteson Medical Education Center (TMEC) in May 2010. Developed as an alternative to Poland Springs bubblers (which carry a significant carbon footprint), the system has two cold water dispensers, one hot water dispenser, as well as a sink, and has become a popular spot for socializing between classes.“I saw the water project as intersecting a lot of different concerns — public health, environmental, and economic,” said Devan Darby, a student leader of SEAM who received a Green Carpet Award from the Office for Sustainability for her work on the hydration station. “It’s a very tangible thing that has made a difference.”“In a graduate school of this size, we have a compact community,” said SEAM member Jana Jarolimova. “We’re making relatively small changes, but by being connected to the rest of the HMS community and getting enough people to make those changes too, we can actually have an impact.”
Philip K. Howard, author of “The Rule of Nobody: Saving America from Dead Laws and Broken Government,” spoke Thursday evening and addressed the question, “Can American Government Be Fixed?” The answer, he said, is yes, but it requires a complete overhaul of the current system.Annette Sayre | The Observer “We’ve tried to create a system of government in an effort to make sure things work properly that is structurally paralyzed,” Howard said. “We hoped that we would protect ourselves and enhance our freedoms by making sure government didn’t do things wrong. Not only did we make government ineffective, but we are also shackling our own freedom.”Howard gave a survey of the different ideas about why government is ineffective and the methods to solve it. “President Obama appointed the most brilliant regulatory scholar in America, Cass Sunstein, to come in and run his regulatory reform efforts,” Howard said. “He probably fixed scores of them out of about 500,000.”“Another common solution is that we just need less polarization,” Howard said. But, according to Howard, the problem wouldn’t be solved if parties came together and compromised. “The problem is … we’ll drive over a fiscal cliff holding hands, but it wouldn’t really do much for the country in my view.”Howard praised the populist energy of the Tea Party but disagreed with the view that government has to be eliminated to the maximum extent.“I think in a modern interdependent world [with] globalized economies we need government oversight for clean air, clean water, to make sure our toys don’t have lead paint on them,” he said.While Howard called the Tea Party’s solution wrong, he said he believed their anger and energy was justified.Howard also criticized the notion that better leadership could fix government.“The truth is, I argue, George Washington if reincarnated could not run this country,” Howard said. “The reason is that law has piled up … like sediment in the harbor so it’s impossible, it’s illegal, to do anything sensibly in our society.”Howard illustrated the legal obstacles people faced when trying to do the right thing. He spoke of one incident in New Jersey where it took twelve days and $12,000 in legal fees to remove a tree branch from a creek after a flood.Howard argued American government has two fatal flaws.“The first is that we don’t have the idea that law has to adapt to changing circumstances. We treat every law like it’s the Ten Commandments even though at this point it’s the 10 million commandments,” Howard said.“The second problem … is that we have this modern philosophy that prevents humans on a daily basis from adapting to the circumstances,” Howard said. He compared the 29-page interstate highway bill that created 41,000 miles of highway in the 1950’s to the current 584-page transportation bill that “hasn’t done anything yet because no one can get approval to start.”Howard said government’s attempts to make the law clear have simply made it become overbearing. “It’s central planning, it’s not the rule of law, it’s not a legal system allowing people to go forth during the day and exercise their freedom to try and make things happen,” Howard said. “It’s like Soviet central planning except the planners are dead … democracy really, is run by dead people.”“I’m not optimistic … but I do have hope,” Howard said. The solution calls for a redesignation of the laws, similar to the establishment of the Uniform Commercial Code in the 1950s, and in history with Justinian and Napoleon, he said. “Every time there has been a recodification it has been like replacing a muddy road with a paved highway,” Howard said.“The simple message here, harsh but simple, is that American government is broken, everybody knows it,” Howard said. “So if we want things to work we’re gonna have to give humans responsibility again and that requires completely rebuilding our system of government.”Tags: American Government, gridlock, legal system, Philip K.

9SHARESShareShareSharePrintMailGooglePinterestDiggRedditStumbleuponDeliciousBufferTumblr One of the common threads running across the new Uniform Residential Loan Application (“URLA”), the disclosure requirements of Regulations X and Z (“TRID”), and the reporting requirements of Regulation C (“HMDA”) is the requirement that the lender identifies the loan purpose.[1] It is possible for the loan purpose to be the same for the new URLA and under TRID and HMDA. This blog examines the need to recognize that the loan purpose may be different for each and what lenders can do to prepare for that eventuality.Can there be more than one loan purpose choice for a single-purpose loan?Consider the following single-purpose loan. A prospective borrower takes title to a dwelling with an existing loan as a successor-in-interest. The loan is assumable with the lender’s approval but the prospective borrower only seeks approval after taking the title. The prospective borrower selects “Purchase” for the loan purpose on the new URLA. But is that it—is the loan purpose “Purchase” for the URLA and under TRID and HMDA? continue reading »
