Temple to “Cat G*d” found in Egypt
Archaeologists in Egypt have discovered a 2,000-year-old temple in Alexandria dedicated to a cat goddess.
The temple is the first trace of the royal quarters of the Ptolemaic dynasty to be revealed in Alexandria.
The find confirms the Greek dynasty of Egyptians continued the worship of ancient animal deities.
Many more ruins of the ancient capital of Hellenic Egypt lie preserved under the modern city, yet to be unearthed, archaeologists say.
The temple, discovered in the Kom el-Dekkah neighbourhood of the city, is believed to belong to Queen Berenike II, wife of Ptolemy III who ruled Egypt in the third century BC, Egypt’s Supreme Council of Antiquities has said.

Freeway x Jake One’s The Stimulus Packag-ing (Video)
Freeway and Jake One’s The Stimulus Package drops February 16th, and Miss Info will be hosting their album release party at the Highline Ballroom on that same night. Pre-order your tickets here.
Fast-forward towards the middle of the video to see how intricate the album packaging gets. The “money clip” (sorta,) the bills/liner notes, the wallet that doubles as album casing, the Credit Card that lets you download the instrumentals. It’s very clever. More details at Miss Info’s as she got the scoop from the designer, egoTRIP’s Brent Rollins, who also designed the cover to her book BLING BLING: Hip Hop’s Crown Jewels.

Nano Technology Tackles Heart Disease
A molecule designed to find, latch onto, then treat hardened arteries could offer a new way to tackle heart disease, say its inventors.
Nanoburrs, developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), target only damaged cells in blood vessel walls.
Once attached, they can release drugs in precisely the right place.
But the British Heart Foundation warned the technology was some years from being used in patients.
The hardening of the arteries which supply the heart, or atherosclerosis, can eventually lead to blockages which can cause heart attacks.

Curren$y – Breakfast (Video)
Curren$y wakes up in paradise. Directed by Jonah Schwartz:
We don’t have the power to change the weather as of yet, but those of us with means can change our location to fit the climate we desire. In Curren$y’s latest video for his song “Breakfast” he does just that going from sleeping through NYC’s harsh winter to waking up in a sun drenched Jamaican villa. Director Jonah Shwartz leads us through Spitta’s daily routine of early morning doobie rolling over a mellow Mos Def produced soundtrack.
Shouts to Emeka/Creative Control.

Lupe Fiasco on Tony Touch’s Toca Tuesdays
Lupe Fiasco visits Tony Touch on his Sirius/XM show Toca Tuesdays. First Lupe mentions he just submitted Lasers to the label and “I’m Beaming” being a forced single. Damn shame.
Second, there’s a couple calls then Lupe explains how the Haiti earthquake happened the day he reached the peak of Kilimanjaro. So when he got him, Mike Shinoda hit him and they got together with Kenna to make “Resurrection.”
Freestyle, then they discuss who’s on the album, both features and production wise. He says Jay Electronica isn’t on the album but he’d want to do a whole album with Jay and keeps spreading the CRS lie (apparently they had 4 tracks before the G.I.T.D. tour.)

Pharrell’s Key Note Speech at Midem (Video)
Pharrell was invited to give the key note speech at Midem, a music business conference held in Cannes, and it was in Q&A format with Rob Stone, Co-CEO of Cornerstone – who you might remember from Pharrell’s Billboard cover.
In the 80’s there was Quincy, in the 90’s there was Dr. Dre… just last month, Billboard Magazine named you producer of the decade from 2000 to 2010
Look out for Côte D’Azur P at the NRJ Awards while he’s out there

U.S. enables Chinese hacking of Google
Google made headlines when it went public with the fact that Chinese hackers had penetrated some of its services, such as Gmail, in a politically motivated attempt at intelligence gathering. The news here isn’t that Chinese hackers engage in these activities or that their attempts are technically sophisticated — we knew that already — it’s that the U.S. government inadvertently aided the hackers.
In order to comply with government search warrants on user data, Google created a backdoor access system into Gmail accounts. This feature is what the Chinese hackers exploited to gain access.
Google’s system isn’t unique. Democratic governments around the world — in Sweden, Canada and the UK, for example — are rushing to pass laws giving their police new powers of Internet surveillance, in many cases requiring communications system providers to redesign products and services they sell.
