Before we get to summarizing all cons and pros for the today’s testing participants, we have to stress that without proper cooling of the VRM components, Accelero Twin Turbo Pro and Setsugen can only be used on low-end and mainstream graphics accelerators, which do not require high-quality VRM heatsinks. The default aluminum heatsinks included with both coolers can only provide sufficient cooling for the appropriate components under low operational load and at nominal frequencies, which many of you are not interested in at all. It is extremely important and until cooler makers start paying due attention to this matter, all their new cooling products will remain half-finished.

Now a few words about the tested coolers. Unfortunately, Scythe Setsugen didn’t prove up to our expectations. We can only consider its cooling efficiency up to 1100 RPM fan speed, because at higher rotation speeds the noise from the cooler is too high. And at these low speeds Scythe Setsugen can only compete against even noisier reference coolers and only under low GPU loads. During the performance tests in applications like FurMark, Setsugen can’t ensure proper cooling of the GPU at all. Among its definite advantages we should point out universal design, simple installation and low price.

The product from the Swiss Arctic Cooling made a completely different impression. Accelero Twin Turbo Pro is a high-quality and true evolutionary development of the older model, when all the modifications and changes were indeed for the best. This new cooler proved very effective and quiet and will definitely satisfy even those users who care most of all about the acoustic performance of their system. Besides, Twin Turbo Pro is also very easy to install and is compatible with many contemporary graphics accelerators, which unfortunately, do not include the reference Radeon HD 5850/5770/5750. We look forward to testing the new Accelero Twin Turbo Pro revision that should be free from these issues and should offer a complex solution to the problem mentioned in the first paragraph of this review.

P.S.: As we learned while working on this review, the Japanese Scythe discontinued their Setsugen cooler and is currently preparing to launch its second version with some serious modifications and changes.

Testbed Configuration and Testing Methodology

We have already tested Radeon HD 7790 performance in our previous article, therefore today we are going to compare side by side two Radeon HD 7790 based graphics cards working at identical frequencies, but featuring different amount of memory: 1 GB vs. 2 GB. We will also test a pair of identical 1 GB graphics cards in a CrossFireX configuration. It was fairly easy to find a competitor for them, because a pair of 1 GB Radeon HD 7790 based graphics accelerators costs around $260-$280. Today they will be competing against a new Zotac GeForce GTX 760, which we will review in greater detail in our next article. We also added a GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST here, for comparison purposes.

All participating graphics cards were tested in a system with the following configuration:

You have already seen all graphics cards on AMD chips earlier in this review, so here are their competitors from the “green” camp:

In order to lower the dependence of the graphics cards performance on the overall platform speed, I overclocked our 32 nm six-core CPU with the multiplier set at 48x, BCLK frequency set at 100 MHz and “Load-Line Calibration” enabled to 4.8 GHz. The processor Vcore was increased to 1.38 V in the mainboard BIOS:

Hyper-Threading technology was enabled. 32 GB of system DDR3 memory worked at 2.133 GHz frequency with 9-11-11-31 timings and 1.6V voltage.

The test session started on June 8, 2013. All tests were performed in Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1 with all critical updates as of that date and the following drivers:

We tested the graphics cards performance in two resolutions: 1920x1080 and 2560x1440. The tests were performed in two image quality modes: “Quality+AF16x” – default texturing quality in the drivers with enabled 16x anisotropic filtering and “Quality+ AF16x+MSAA 4x(8x)” with enabled 16x anisotropic filtering and full screen 4x or 8x antialiasing, in those cases when the average fps rate remained high enough for comfortable gaming experience. We enabled anisotropic filtering and full-screen anti-aliasing from the game settings. If the corresponding options were missing, we changed these settings in the Control Panels of Catalyst and GeForce drivers. We also disabled Vsync there. There were no other changes in the driver settings.

The benchmarking suite used this time included two popular semi-synthetic benchmarks and 11 resource-consuming games of various genres:

  • 3DMark 2013 (DirectX 9/11) – version 1.1.0, benchmarks in “Cloud Gate”, “Fire Strike” and “Fire Strike Extreme” scenes;
  • Unigine Valley Bench (DirectX 11) – version 1.0, maximum image quality settings, AF16x and(or) MSAA 4x, 1980x1080 resolution;
  • Total War: Shogun 2: Fall of the Samurai (DirectX 11) – version 1.1.0, built-in benchmark (Sekigahara battle) at maximum graphics quality settings and enabled MSAA 8x in one of the test modes;
  • Battlefield 3 (DirectX 11) – version 1.4, all image quality settings set to “Ultra”, two successive runs of a scripted scene from the beginning of the “Going Hunting” mission 110 seconds long;
  • Sniper Elite V2 Benchmark (DirectX 11) – version 1.05, we used Adrenaline Sniper Elite V2 Benchmark Tool v1.0.0.2 BETA with maximum graphics quality settings (“Ultra” profile), Advanced Shadows: HIGH, Ambient Occlusion: ON, Stereo 3D: OFF, two sequential test runs;
  • Sleeping Dogs (DirectX 11) – version 1.5, we used Adrenaline Sleeping Dogs Benchmark Tool v1.0.2.1 with maximum image quality settings, Hi-Res Textures pack installed, FPS Limiter and V-Sync disabled, two consecutive runs of the built-in benchmark with quality antialiasing at Normal and Extreme levels;
  • Hitman: Absolution (DirectX 11) – version 1.0.446.0, built-in test with Ultra image quality settings, with enabled tessellation, FXAA and global lighting;
  • Crysis 3 (DirectX 11) – version, all graphics quality settings at maximum, Motion Blur amount – Medium, lens flares – on, FXAA and MSAA4x modes enabled, two consecutive runs of a scripted scene from the beginning of the “Swamp” mission 110 seconds long;
  • Tomb Raider (2013) (DirectX 11) – version 1.1.743.0, we used Adrenaline Benchmark Tool, all image quality settings set to “Ultra”, V-Sync disabled, FXAA and 2x SSAA antialiasing enabled, TessFX technology activated, two consecutive runs of the benchmark built into the game;
  • BioShock Infinite (DirectX 11) – version, we used Adrenaline Action Benchmark Tool v1.0.2.1, two consecutive runs of the built-in benchmark with “Ultra” and “Ultra+DOF” quality settings;
  • Metro: Last Light (DirectX 11) – version 1.0.4, we used built-in benchmark for two consecutive runs of the D6 scene. All image quality and tessellation settings were at “Very High”, “Advanced PhysX technology was enabled, we tested with and without SSAA antialiasing;
  • GRID 2 (DirectX 11) – version, we used built-in benchmark, graphics image quality settings were at their maximum in all aspects, the tests were run with and without MSAA 8x antialiasing with eight cars on the Chicago track;
  • Company of Heroes 2 beta (DirectX 11) – version, two consecutive runs of the integrated benchmark at maximum image quality and physics effects settings.

If the game allowed recording the minimal fps readings, they were also added to the charts. We ran each game test or benchmark twice and took the best result for the diagrams, but only if the difference between them didn’t exceed 1%. If it did exceed 1%, we ran the tests at least one more time to achieve repeatability of results.

Osborn Students Go Inside the Tech Bubble With Grand Circus Program

(Page 2 of 2)

technology as cool. But my goal is not necessarily to make them great technologists, but to teach them critical thinking skills and how to go after opportunities.”

Conley and Hoos are both pleased with how enthusiastic the students have been during the initial pilot program, and both hope to replicate it next year.

Marvez Bryant, a 16-year-old Hacker Society student, says the class was his first experience learning how to write code, but he was potentially interested in a computer science career if his first-choice career didn’t work out. “Maybe I’d do this if I didn’t get a full-ride scholarship to college,” he says. “I want to build a research lab from the ground up.”

LaDarian Hobson, a 15-year-old in the class, says he’s definitely interested in being a tech entrepreneur, and he liked the fact that the class started off as a challenge: “It’s difficult at first, but if you work hard, you make progress and your hard work pays off.”

Dollars Not the Only Way to do Business, Especially in a Recession

In 1933, President Franklin Roosevelt outlawed the hoarding of gold, ending its use as the basis of U.S. currency. Since then, the American (and the rest of the world) economy has relied on paper currency based on trust in a particular government and a currency’s value relative to other monetary systems around the world.

Sometimes though, someone wakes up and decides to spread a new dream of wealth. Here in Seattle, I’ve come across three different examples of companies with a new dream of wealth that isn’t built on dollars and cents, built rather on using technology to advance entirely new notions of how people exchange goods and services.

A few weeks ago, I wrote a story about a Seattle startup called and how it is creating a mini-economy based on its own currency. Alternate means of commerce tend to gain momentum during recessions, when people feel short on cash. It turns out Dibspace founder Dominic Canterbury is not alone in taking advantage of the economic climate for alternative currency. Two other Seattle-area alternate barter startups,, founded by Aaron Freed, and, founded by Martin Tobias, have started within the past year.

“It’s a way to monetize physical goods in the real world,” Tobias says.

Money is sometimes not the only goal of these sites and their users. Helping the environment is an important aspect of Kashless, Tobias says. Unlike Dibspace and Divvy, Kashless isn’t about buying and selling—all the items listed on the site are free. “In a recession, people want free stuff,” he says. Whether it’s a slightly emptied bottle of sunscreen or an entire set of bedroom furniture, everything offered is free. And because of the way Tobias set up the website, people can use what they give away as tax deductions the same as if they gave it to Goodwill, only much more than just clothes or small goods. Tobias aims to make money from value-added services, like shipping and delivery, as well as advertising on the site. He also plans on creating a way for people to track the positive impact of giving away goods instead of sending them to the dump. He plans to do this by … Next Page »

Anguilla Yacht Charter

While St. Maarten is known for its international airport and bustling marinas, Anguilla is renowned for its solitary harbors and marine parks. If you are looking to cruise off the beaten course in the Leeward Islands, then Anguilla, at their northern tip, just may be ideal as your next waypoint.

See Yachts in Anguilla

Anguilla Overview

The British territory known as Anguilla actually comprises several islands. There’s the main one, which is the best known, along with smaller nearby islands: Anguillita, Dog Island, the Prickly Pear Cays, Sandy Island, Scrub Island, Scilly Cay, Seal Island, and Sombrero, which the locals call “Hat Island.”

Three of those—Dog Island, Sandy Island, and the Prickly Pear Cays—are among the five areas designated as part of the protected Marine Park System. The other two protected areas are Shoal Bay and Little Bay on the big island (if you consider a 16-mile-long-by-3-mile-wide island “big”). Within these protected areas, boaters must use the permanent moorings. Dropping an anchor is illegal, as doing so can damage the coral reefs and fish habitats.

You’ll see both red mooring buoys and white mooring buoys in Anguilla’s Marine Park System. The red buoys are for dive boats, while the whites are for recreational boaters who have gotten a usage permit from the Department of Fisheries and Marine Resources at Marine Base in Road Bay. If your boat is more than 55 feet LOA, the office may give you permission to anchor in a designated area.

Each of the Marine Park areas offers something different to see and do, and they’re all to the northern side of the big island, which makes navigation easy. If your idea of a great cruise includes swimming, snorkeling, and a handful of beach bars, then a week of cruising within Anguilla’s Marine Park System is ideal.

If you start at the Marine Base in Road Bay you can cruise west to Dog Island, which is the farthest from the big island. The current tends to be strong here, so be aware of it whether you are anchoring or snorkeling. Even experienced snorkelers and divers tend to stay close to shore, but nobody really minds, what with all of the sea turtles, tiger sharks, and reef fish to be seen. There are a few white, sandy beaches on Dog Island as well as some inland trails created by the local goats. Bring a good pair of hiking shoes along with your snorkel and fins and you’ll be just fine.

From Dog Island, the Prickly Pear Cays are just about due east. Listen to the VHF traffic to learn the schedule for the local day-trippers arriving at the two cays from St. Maarten, and then you’ll be able to avoid them if you go ashore to one of the two restaurants available to visitors. Swimming and snorkeling are good here, and the diving can be excellent, with depths at Prickly Pear Reef ranging from 40 to 70 feet and a couple of shipwrecks nearby to explore.

Sandy Island is south of the Prickly Pears and is within spitting distance of the big island. Sandy Island is well named, for sure—when seen from above, it looks like nothing more than a mass of smooth sand with a few green shrubs plopped in the middle. The local hut (you’d be hard-pressed to call it a full-scale restaurant) serves fresh lobster and rum cocktails that entice shell collectors, sunbathers, and snorkelers alike.
From Sandy Island, you can cruise along the big island’s northern shore, stopping first at Little Bay and then at Shoal Bay.

Little Bay is a great place to watch wildlife. It was designated part of the park system because of its extensive seagrass bed, which attracts countless sea turtles, fish, and of course the pelicans that feed on those fish. If you want an afternoon out of the sun just watching nature from your aft deck, this is a great spot.

Shoal Bay is to the east of Little Bay, right around the corner from the Island Harbour fishing village. Shoal Bay’s beach is more than a mile long and has made several appearances on “best beaches in the world” lists in various magazines. The reef system in this area is extensive for snorkeling, and the views of the Atlantic Ocean literally do not stop—unless, of course, your eyesight is good enough to see all the way to Africa.

A COUPLE from Ilminster have helped out a charity which transformed their son’s life.

Jen and Ian Wilson, of Adams Meadow, decided to give something back to Stocklinch-based charity Horseshoes and Handprints after staff cared for their six-year-old son Ollie.

He was diagnosed with autism and significant sensory processing dysfunction two years ago, which means he struggles to communicate and can easily become anxious and upset.

Mum Jen said: “Ollie did not smile or express an appropriate emotional response in many situations and it was quite by accident that I came across Horseshoes and Handprints at a stand where they were displaying at a fair last year.

“He has attended seven sessions at this fantastic place and now goes on a fortnightly basis.

“After two sessions, we had the privilege to witness Ollie’s first real smile.

“We noticed improvements in his sleeping patterns because he would previously wake up in the night rocking violently in his bed, and now he is much calmer and in a less anxious state of mind, which helps.”

Jen said her son now speaks almost fluently, enabling him to become more social at school and absorb information.

Horseshoes and Handprints provides horse-centred therapy for individuals with special needs.

Staff believe close contact and interaction with horses helps youngsters.

Activities include touching, stroking, grooming and handling the horses, decorating and painting them, leading and working the horses in hand and riding them.

Jen and Ian noticed the charity needed help fixing the roof area and tack room where equipment is kept for the horses.

The pair, who run Wilsonatorgator Windows in Ilminster, decided to carry out the work free of charge, including labour costs, as a thank you to the charity.

Charity trustee Desi Fradgley said it was ‘incredibly grateful’ for the family’s work.

She said: “It is crucial that we have somewhere safe and dry to keep the tack. It is so difficult to raise funds for these sorts of things.”

예상을 깨뜨리는 포미닛 스타일의 정공법
세 번째 미니 앨범 'Volume Up'

발표하는 앨범마다 대한민국을 떠들썩하게 만든 걸그룹 최고의 이슈 메이커 '포미닛(4Minute)'이 돌아온다. 1년만에 발표하는 신작 'Volume Up'은 미니앨범으로서는 이례적으로 일곱 트랙이 수록될 만큼, 컴백에 대한 포미닛의 강한 의지가 엿보인다.
타이틀곡 'Volume Up'은 데뷔 때부터 포미닛과 함께 해온 신사동호랭이, 라도 콤비의 곡으로, 음악을 이끄는 색소폰 사운드가 묘한 중독성을 던진다. 걸그룹에 대한 대중들의 열광과 그 이면의 그림자를 포미닛다운 솔직하고 파격적인 가사로 표현하였다. 차트를 점령하기 위한 자극적이고 가벼운 음악만이 판치는 요즘, 쉽게 꺼내기 어려운 이야기를 탄탄한 사운드에 풀어낸 포미닛의 새 타이틀곡은 신선함을 넘어 놀라움 자체이다.
K-POP 신드롬 이후 전 세계 팬들이 음악적으로 가장 선호하는 그룹에 포지셔닝해온 포미닛인 만큼 이번 앨범의 일곱 트랙도 각양각색의 빛을 발한다. 강렬한 신스 사운드의 힙합 인트로 'Get on the Floor', 라틴 요소가 가미된 힙합 넘버 'Say My Name'은 한층 더 신나는 포미닛 음악을 선명히 들려준다. 또 이번 앨범에는 다양한 뮤지션들과의 콜라보레이션이 눈에 띄는데, 'Femme Fatale'에는 최근 화제 속에 컴백한 신화의 멤버 이민우(M)가 작사에 참여했다. 'Dream Racer' 은 K-POP과는 어울리지 않을 것 같은 인디 밴드 'The KOXX'가 포미닛만을 위해 특별히 프로듀싱한 곡이다.
이 외에도 성숙한 감수성이 돋보이는 발라드 'I'm OK', 스윙 형식의 일렉트로 댄스 'Black Cat' 등 1년의 준비가 아깝지 않을 앨범이 완성되었다.

A truly amazing album Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
I didn't expect the album to be so large in terms of physical size, but the pink and silver packaging is just gorgeous! Inside you'll find a ton of beautiful concept photos from their slightly more darker concept for 'Volume Up' which are quite nice! The random autographed photocard is a nice and surprising addition (I got Jiyoon's!!) and most importantly, the CD and its songs are really nice too, I couldn't find one song I didn't like on this album to be honest.

Also, A+ service, sturdy packaging and quick shipping from YesAsia! I will definitely buy from them again.

Just did that, sent the head out, planed and replaced a few valves. Not blowing white smoke like I"m used to seeing on a head gasket and oil is not rising, oil is milky after we change the oil in about 3 days or so, tractor is on the spreader right now. Think I"m gonna have to pull the oil pan next. Thanks Deltared, would like to see if I can get through to warmer weather seeing my shop is the outdoors, lol. Put some bars leak in today, and changed the oil. Will see if that helps

Milky oil? Do you keep the tractor outside? I thought I had a blown gasket or cracked head/block also, turned out it was rain water going in the seams of the muffler and around the threads of the pipe at the manifold. A flapper or can on the muffler isn't good enough. Loosen the oil drain plug a bit and see if you are getting green or clear water. If it's green your outa luck, if it's clear then it's rain water and you can change the oil, run tractor till warmed up and change it again. Then let it sit there and run an hour or so to steam out any remaining water. It worked good for me.

Running with even a half cup of coolant in the oil can ruin the lower end. If it is just a wisp of coolant, and it heats out it still leaves residue in the oil that can degrade the lubricity. Jim

Janicholson, yes. I have been changing the oil right now every few days. I am hoping to pull the pan on Wednesday. I read a few of your older post in regards to water in oil and putting a little pressure in the radiator via a cap. Was wondering if the radiator cap was on but not pressurized would that slow the leak? I could be wrong but kinda feel its a crack in the block or a cracked sleeve.

That would reduce the flow into the oil if the leak is not a compression leak from combustion gasses into the coolant. There are test kits from auto stores that test radiators for the presence of exhaust gasses. Cheap and accurate.
A cracked bore casting is possible allowing coolant to leak down between the sleeves and the cast bore. The coolant will be found dripping from the interface between the sleeve and the block. The solution for that is to have the block bored for a repair sleeve then that sleeve bored (and counterbored for the sleeve ring) to accept the original sleeve that is in the tractor.
That is a very successful and permanent repair.
If it is not a compression leak, I would try barsleak liquid to seal it up till the time it can be repaired correctly (follow the directions) Jim

I agree with 2 tractors if oil is clean and not used much don't waste money however if you use it hard one year or if it sets ran for more than five years I would change at less the engine oil. I like to refer to this tractor as tolerate and as long as there is the correct amount of fluid keep running it will most likely out running you if in really good shape

"I don't know what video's you've watched but I think you're confused. Fuel gas first is the same order of doing things. You turn the fuel gas on first so you have something to light and you turn the fuel gas off first to extinguish the flame."

Apparently there are two schools of thought on this. I just re-watched the Victor Oxy-Fuel safety video that they have on their website and it clearly shows fuel gas on first when lighting and Oxygen off first when extinguishing. at 29:53

Brad, if you're unwilling to believe NASA and NOAA, then who will you believe? Surely not the Koch brothers' paid hacks. Are you suggesting that the scientists at NASA and NOAA are part of a vast conspiracy that goes back at least to 1958, when CO2 monitoring on Mauna Loa began? Since then we've had ten administrations, six repub and four dem, so both parties are in on the conspiracy.

As for the recent increase in polar ice, that is one data point. It's remarkable only because it bucks the long-term trend of rapid ice loss. While climatologists are trying to understand what it means, global warming deniers are busy touting it as proof of their argument. Why? Because they have so little evidence to support their claims.

As I said before, if you're unwilling to accept even the basic facts (rising temperature and CO2 levels), there's nothing much we can discuss. Much like the drunk standing beside his crashed car saying "What tree, Mister Ossifer?". The cop would like to know WHY he ran into the tree, but the drunk is denying the tree exists, even though it's sitting where the hood of his car used to be.

Looks good so far. Are you planning on trying to graze this field ?
In the spring are you going to burn down with roundup and no till, or disc it in, or something else ? I am going to try a similar thing in SWND next year if there is any moisture in the soil post harvest.

No plans to graze this field. My main goal is to break up the hardpan from many years of plowing. The radish will winter kill, but I may have to deal with the volunteer wheat that is present. Maybe if the radishes get big enough they will smother out the wheat?
This is something new for me, so learning as I go.

Getting the Most out of APC for Yii

Created 4 years ago by Da:SourcererHow-tos10 comments – viewed 35,928 times – ( +17 ) – version 1.1
The Advanced PHP Cache is a PHP extension which primarily serves as an opcode cache for PHP. The basic idea is to save PHP from re-evaluating the PHP code to intermediate bytecode on each request. Installing and enabling APC already yields a significant performance benefit. However, APC is not a black box that will magically change all for the better. More over it is important to understand that APC needs memory to operate.

As you know, the CDetailView widget displays details of a single model. If no formatting is specified, boolean values that are stored in the database as 0 and 1, are represented in the detail view as 0 and 1. If formatted as boolean, they are represented as 'No' and 'Yes'. We want to add i18n support, so that Yes and No appear in the current language.

Eugene Thacker: Aesthetic Biology, Biological Art

thacker iconEugene Thacker :: Aesthetic Biology, Biological Art

(In response to Jeremy Rifkin's article in The Guardian, 1/14/03)

::Printer version ::

Reading over Jeremy Rifkin's article "Dazzled by the Science," one is struck by a paradox. On the one hand there is the litany of controversial examples pertaining to biotechnology and art. You would expect a cohesive argument to emerge from this. But it doesn't. There's a position, however, and it's very clear: biotech is bad. Or, if we were to be more generous, we would say that Rifkin's position is that biotech is an infringement upon nature, and as such is morally reprehensible, not least because it is driven by economic imperatives. But this, to my mind, verges on being reactionary. Why does it matter? It matters because Rifkin's article is exemplary of the level of the current public discourse surrounding biotech. This so-called public discourse mostly consists of poll-like perspectives on hot topics such as cloning, GM foods, and stem cells. Are you for or against human cloning? You can vote now on a corporate-owned news media website near you. The fault is of course not Rifkin's. Indeed, as a long-time author and activist, Rifkin's work with the Foundation on Economic Trends has done much to influence public policy and to increase public awareness of very real and pertinent issues such as genetic patenting, cloning, and environmentalism. So, in a sense, it is disappointing to see someone who has authored several books critical of biotech take such as reductive position. But then again, The Biotech Century followed a similar pattern: a litany of controversial examples from the biotech industry, accompanied by condemnations of biotech's market-driven infringement upon nature. The end of Rifkin's article in The Guardian states: "Now that we can begin re-engineering ourselves, we mistakenly think of the new technological manipulation as a creative act, when in reality it is merely a set of choices created in a laboratory and purchased in the marketplace. The biotech revolution is the ultimate consumer playground…the new genetic technologies grant us a godlike power to select the biological futures of the many beings who come after us."

Rifkin's "biotech-is-bad" position is actually twofold. First, it is bad because it transgresses the sacred boundaries between the natural and artificial worlds, between biology and technology, between "godlike" creation and instrumental artifact. Second, biotech is bad because it is motivated by predominantly economic concerns (find a gene, make a pill, sell it to you). Now the question: does one position necessarily imply the other? In other words, can we develop a political-economic critique of biotechnology, without having to adopt the moralizing of the first position? Again: why does this matter? It matters because too often, in the public discourse on biotech, political critique slides into moral conservatism. Rifkin does not -- or cannot -- distinguish these two positions. For him, saying that biotech is bad is also saying that something mysterious called "nature" is good, and that the latter should by all means be protected from the invasion by the former

But we might ask -- what is the "opposite" of biotechnology? Indeed, what is biotechnology? Sure, there are definitions in molecular genetics textbooks, as well as pop science books on the genome, but definitions vary. Is the selective breeding of animals or selection of seeds biotech? If so, biotech is a very old practice indeed, extending back to antiquity. Or is it only techniques developed after genetic engineering in the 1970s? If so, then "technology" is equivalent to lab gadgets. Historians like Robert Bud have adopted one approach often taken: biotechnology is a set of practices, in which biological "life" is appropriated for human use in a range of industries (chemical, biomedical, agricultural). Recent work in science studies and sociology has been more specific: biotechnology is a discourse in which what is legitimately recognized as "life" is reformulated alongside emerging scientific, cultural, and political paradigms (molecular biology's genetic "code" -- see the work of Lily Kay, Richard Doyle, Hans-Jorg Rheinberger, Donna Haraway, Vandana Shiva, Catherine Waldby). Critical Art Ensemble -- one of the groups condemned by Rifkin -- have been more specific on biotech. Biotechnology is first and foremost an industry, and as such it functions as a "flesh machine," generating new products and services, and thereby creating new niche markets, in the process transforming public understandings of what counts as nature, the body, and health. None of this should be new or surprising to anyone who has followed the news headlines concerning the genome project, stem cell debates, or the latest genetic chimeras. The point here is that, when positing a critique of biotech, we would do well to assess our own position as well. What are we protecting when we condemn biotechnology? Is it a mythical, pre-technological state of nature? Is it the last remnants of our faith in the uniqueness of "the human"? Is it theology (if not religion)? Is it the dream of a post-capitalist society? In a sense, critiquing biotech is easy. Finding "bad guys" to point at is easy. The hard part is figuring out what the critique is defending

Actually, finding the bad guy in biotech is not so easy. Corporations are always easy targets, and, in a sense, convenient straw men. (Literally.) Is the problem only economic? We are mistaken if we think that an extraction of the economic aspects of biotech will solve any problems. Supposing that we could somehow separate economics from bioscience research, we would still be left with a series of epistemological and ontological issues. But we should also be clear. Yes, there have been and are now injustices which have occurred in relation to the biotech industry, and which raise issues concerning human rights, environmentalism, bioterrorism, and cross-cultural negotiations concerning sustainability. And yes, in such cases accountability should be an issue, no matter how monolithic a government agency or pharmaceutical corporation may seem.

All of this is to suggest something quite simple: that Rifkin's article, exemplary of the public discourse on biotechnology, is as reductive as the science and art he denounces.

Now part two. Rifkin may be reductive, but saying so is not a round-about way of defending the scientists and artists he critiques. Rifkin is mis-informed -- or un-informed -- about biotech research and bioart. But his basic points are well worth considering, if in a more articulated manner. In short, Rifkin is mostly right about bioart. Much bioart is just bad art, "bio-" or no "bio-". But to lump together scientist-entrepreneurs like Venter (of Celera), and artists like Eduardo Kac into one group is ridiculous. Clearly Rifkin has not done his homework (and no, visiting websites does not count). And there are not only numerous exceptions to the rule, but differences between artists. Critical Art Ensemble's work is very, very different form the work of Kac. Different approaches, different methods, different media, different positions (indeed, one may guess that CAE would eschew the very notion of "bioart"). Anyone who has taken even a surface interest in the current intersections of art and biology knows that there is a great deal of diverse work out there, being produced in a range of contexts. Which, again, doesn't mean it's all good art. But it is both an emerging and a diverse field.

That being said, we can refine some of Rifkin's comments concerning bioart: - Bioart usually benefits the artists more than the scientist collaborators While there are a great many examples of scientists collaborating with artists on projects, there are a few asymmetries worth noting. First, the work itself is usually shown in an art context. Second, if publication occurs, it is more likely to be in an art journal than a scientific one. Third, when instances of professional recognition arise (e.g., tenure & promotion), the artist gets recognition, while the scientist often does not. Fourth, artists and scientists work with very different funding budgets. Very different.

- The context for bioart is often the site of the gallery. This may not be problematic in itself, but when bioart claims to be speaking about biotech in terms of education and public awareness, then we have to wonder about the site of this engagement. The art gallery is itself a specialized site, quite alienating for many people. How can art claim to reach a public about science, when it still has not resolved its inability to reach a public about art?

- In bioart, "gee-whiz" science often overwhelms critical engagement. That is, bioart often eschews ethical considerations in favor of technical ones. Anyone will admit that learning how to work the automatic sequencing machine is cool, but it is worthwhile to reflect on it a little. The old question "can I do this" versus "should I do this" is worth reconsidering in the context of bioart practices -- as art practices.

- Bioart can sometimes become PR for the biotech industry. In some cases the aestheticization in bioart can feed into the "rhetoric of wonder" abundant in popular discussions of the genetic understanding of life. It is fascinating that your DNA stretched out is five feet long (or whatever it is) And…?

- But not all bioart is formalist. In fact, a number of artists enjoy and cultivate the "outsider-artist" persona, which indicates that bioart may be attempting to fashion itself as the new avant-garde (oh no, not again…). By pitching itself as transgressive, bioart risks replaying the tired narrative of mainstream recuperation. Except that recuperation will this time be activated by government research institutions and biotech companies with programs titled "a celebration of art and science." (Might we someday see artists as spokespeople for pharmaceutical companies?)

It should be clear that an overall attempt to carefully differentiate the topics under discussion is needed. Again, Rifkin's article and position is symptomatic. While it may be tempting to demonize "biotech industry" as a whole, we need to pay attention to the way in which biotechnology is becoming more and more diversified. Take genomics. It's not just "the" human genome project, it's human genome projects, plural. It's also tied to structural genomics, proteomics, pharmacogenomics, population genomics, studies of polymorphisms, haplotypes, SNPs, and of course all that junk DNA. Each of these are sub-industries and sub-disciplines in themselves. The more one learns about the rabid specialization in biotech, the more it becomes difficult to say that the biotech industry does this or that. Again, the question is not whether this is good or bad (though diversification is always good for revitalizing the flows of capital). The question is that we have not yet learned how to ask adequate questions.

The same can be said for the loose grouping of art-science collaborations called "bioart." The work of bioartists such as Critical Art Ensemble, Joe Davis, Natalie Jeremijenko, Kac, SymbioticA, and Adam Zaretsky is anything but a homogenous group of tech-geeks doing it "just because." I won't say that every bioart project is unproblematic, but I will say that the issues and methods employed are incredibly diverse, from performance, to sculpture, to robotics, to tissue engineering, to activism. The more one learns about the manifold intersections between art and science (and their problematics), the more ridiculous it seems to imply an equivalence between bioart and entrepreneurial biotech.

This has already been too long just to make a few points. What to do. Why not be prescriptive?

First, we need to, once and for all, dispense with the easy opposition between pro- and anti-biotech positions. Again, while there are very serious issues regarding biotech that need to be directly addressed -- biopiracy, patenting, globalized health care, informatization -- simply condemning a monolithic "thing" called the biotech industry helps no one. To simply demonize biotech is to miss the point. The problem is not just economics in business, not just reductionism in science, not just moralizing in the humanities. It is all of these together. What is needed is not a persecutional search for the bad guy; what is needed is the ability to develop a critical engagement with biotech. The theorists and artists mentioned so far all support this basic position.

Second, there is a need to reconsider our views of technology in light of the ongoing advances in biotechnology. Over 30 years ago, Marshall McLuhan famously declared that the "medium is the message" -- and thirty years before that Walter Benjamin warned against the "aestheticization of politics" he saw in avant-garde art such as Futurism. Unlike computer technologies, bio-technologies take life itself as the means and the medium. Life becomes indissociable from technological instrumentalization. A medium is no longer a "machine" (in the literal sense of the term), be it a TV, VCR, or computer. A medium is above all a process, a transformation, and an objective. What do we see with biotech? A process of steadily reiterating a new central dogma: genetics is code and code is both immaterial (in the computer, in silico) and material (affecting a patient, in vivo). We also see that process (encoding, recoding, decoding) affecting transformations: gene discovery, genetically-designed drugs, stem cell therapies, GM foods, etc. Finally, that process and its resultant transformation occur within a set of objectives (and this is where it gets sticky): for the pharmaceutical industry, that objective is making pills; for the biotech industry, that objective is raising capital and demonstrating effective clinical trials; for the IT industry, that objective is feeding high-tech into biotech; for the health care sector, that objective is assessing whether or not genetic medicine will become a part of routine health care; and so on. What do we have when biology is a technology? What do we have when our notions of technology are no longer decisively separate from our biologies? We have something that can only be called "biomedia."

Third, as public discussions over biotech continue, those of us involved need to be aware of the moment when political activism turns into moral conservatism. Positioning oneself against the patenting of living beings is one thing; but offering a view of an untainted, pure nature against invasive bio-technologies is quite another. We do not need religious or moral fundamentalism in order to counteract and intervene in the biotech industry. Rifkin's overall anxiety is strangely expressed - as if the real threat is that publicly available biotechnologies will spawn a new fashion movement (bioPrada?). While Rifkin cites a number of controversial examples, it appears that the primary reason for their being condemned is that they infringe upon nature (human biology included). Rifkin's comments are noteworthy when they raise the question of ethics. But it is not clear to me how, in this day and age, we can still make an argument for a pure nature beyond the reach of technology or artifice. According to Rifkin's exceedingly broad terms, we've had human "bio-technologies" for sometime. It's called the institution of marriage. Again and again, the position being expressed by Rifkin appears to simply be that biotech transgresses the sacred domain of nature. Crossing genes, goat + sheep, fish + plant, human genes in mice, spider genes in goats, genetically-engineered super-spiders?... The arithmetic of this position is straightforward. And incredibly reductive. And what is the true definition of art for Rifkin, in this context? Art is an "expression of love." No comment. If art has a definition, it certainly isn't as formulaic as that (or so one would hope). Rifkin's understanding of art is no more sophisticated than the scientists he criticizes.

All the same, Rifkin's point concerning non-scientists doing science poses a thought experiment: will the PC happen to biotech? Is the human genome project the equivalent of the ENIAC? In other words, if the tools, techniques, and knowledge of molecular genetics and biotechnology are opened to the public, will this be a moment of liberation or of enslavement? Likely neither. But it does beg the question: if we condemn renegade scientists and avant-garde artists, different as they are, then who holds the privilege to make decisions about who can have access, about how knowledge is disseminated? Not so long ago the same question was posed in relation to computers. But, you say, computers are just machines, just a bunch of bits, totally different from the "real stuff" of biology. Perhaps. But have computers not been as materially effective in transforming our lives as any biotechnology? Recall the U.S. government's ongoing paranoia surrounding hacking and computer terrorism. Computers have also affected modes of production, and not only in Third World microchip factories. Work is no longer an activity that takes place at an office; labor is immanent, biopolitical.

The anxieties surrounding biotechnology are no different, and certainly not new. (Brave New World, yes. But also Dr. Moreau, Frankenstein, The Golem, even Ovid's Metaphorphoses.) The double-bind expressed by Rifkin is the following: on the one hand, there is a deep anxiety about and mistrust of biotechnologies. But on the other hand, there is an even deeper anxiety about such technologies becoming accessible to the general public ("let into the wild," as it were). So the question pertains to the policing of disciplines as much as policy decisions or economics. And we police our own disciplines, meaning that we police our own set of knowledges as well, and the ways in which those knowledges are instrumentalized. The solution is clearly not to just open the gates and give every citizen their own PCR machine. We need to complexify our understanding of the issues beyond the ballot-mentality (are you for human cloning or against? Are you for or against bioartists? How about that on the next ballot?…). Recognizing that this stalemate must be overcome is an important step.
