Miracles, magic and myths are interesting. Everybody likes a good story. But truth has a magic of its own.
Just imagine how people in medieval times — even the most intelligent and educated — would react to a jet plane or a laptop computer.
They would call them "supernatural, miraculous." But we know how they work; we know how engineers have built them, following scientific principles. There is no need to invoke miracles or the supernatural.
A gang of Victorian criminals equipped with modern mobile phones could have coordinated their activities in ways that would have looked like supernatural telepathy to Sherlock Holmes. In Holmes's world, a suspect who could prove that he was in New York the same day a murder was committed in London would have a perfect alibi.
Not so today, of course. The distinguished science-fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke summed up the point as Clarke's Third Law: Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
If a time machine could carry us forward five centuries, we would see wonders that today seem impossible. But soon our best minds, using scientific principles, would figure out these wonders, and we would realize again that the very idea of the supernatural is unnecessary, meaning nothing more than, "We don't understand it."
What might tempt us to flirt with a supernatural explanation? An uncanny coincidence that makes us suspect telepathic communication?
But among all the millions of people in the world, some are bound to be experiencing an uncanny coincidence on any one day: their stories are the ones we hear. Nobody ever says, "I dreamed that my friend died, and today I found that he had not died — what a coincidence!"
Or does somebody apparently read your mind and tell you what card you are thinking of?
We've all seen stage conjurors perform even more amazing feats than that. And there's nothing supernatural about them.
If an event is reported that appears to be inexplicable by science, you can safely conclude one of two things. Either it didn't really happen — the story has become garbled, the observer was mistaken or was tricked. Or if, after exhaustive investigation, we are satisfied that there is no trickery, no mistake, something truly strange really did happen, then it is possible that we have exposed a shortcoming in present-day science.
But that is nothing more than a challenge.
We must not rest until we have improved our science so that it does provide an explanation. If that requires a radically new kind of science, a revolutionary science so strange that older scientists scarcely recognize it as science at all, that's fine too. It's happened before.
But don't ever be lazy enough — defeatist enough, cowardly enough — to say "It must be supernatural" or "It must be a miracle."
Say instead that it's a puzzle, it's strange, it's a challenge that we should rise to.
Whether we rise to the challenge by questioning the truth of the observation or by expanding our science in new and exciting directions, the proper and brave response to any such challenge is to tackle it head-on. If we use the tools of evidence-based science, it's perfectly OK simply to say, "We're working on it." Indeed, it is the only honest thing to do.
Factual science has a "magic" of its own: the magic of reality.

More Gianvito Rossi Janis Lookalikes
It's fairly obvious that the Gianvito Rossi Janis sandal and its lookalikes are already THE shoe of the summer. (A quick scroll through Instagram will confirm that!) I've had my eye on them for a bit and now that the amazing dupes are filtering through, I'd say it's finally time to scoop up a pair. (I'd say they're the new Aquazzura Wild Thing!)
I'm pretty psyched– it's a great shoe for summer. Comfortable block heel, ankle wrap, soft summer suede. And there are great alternatives at all price points… under $200, under $100, and even under $50! They'd pair well with denim cutoffs, sundresses, and jeans alike. Check out the alternatives and hit the comments– tell me which pair you MUST have!

Burger review: Meatheads
3304 N. Western Ave. 773-525-5300
Rating: 2.5 (out of 4)
The Great Burgerelli welcomes correspondence, and as a result, the letters I receive from fellow burger lovers are plentiful indeed. One dear burger fan implored me to visit one of the many locations of Meatheads Burgers & Fries—in Northbrook, Naperville or perhaps Schaumburg, the storied home of Legoland and Ikea. The trouble is, I simply do not often find myself in these far-flung suburban municipalities; there are just too many burger adventures demanding my attention within the city of Chicago proper. But then something happened that led me to believe that I must not be the only city dweller harboring a curiosity for a mysterious Meatheads burger: It opened its first city location last week in the quaint neighborhood of Roscoe Village. When a new burger establishment opens, The Great Burgerelli is not far behind. So, off to Roscoe I went.

She wondered what the villain left,
while laughing only alone
Just? Fair? indeed not.
Signs in the shade, perhaps
She beat at the starless sky
begging for its water back
until the glow of a sullen sunrise
delivered layers of gray to line the sky.
She wanted to hurry by,
ignoring all along the divide,
a gust of sorrow on the roof;
not that she could care a little
not at all a little
teetering with a thin memory
neither quite here nor quite there
imitating a sort of poetry
scurrying across a littered land
It was not at all comfortable
never it was, was it
yet she spoke with her spirit
and was paid in tattered rags
yearning for only a touch of pastel
or a ceaseless drip of soft drizzle
to infuriate the constant toil
inside the next delicate scratch

Weather conditions can be unpredictable at times, and a wet camera is the last thing you want. I keep a one gallon Ziploc bag in my camera bag at all times. My camera bag is water resistant and can take a bit of rain, but it makes me really nervous if I know my camera could be getting wet. My camera and lens will fit inside of the plastic bag, and it serves as an extra layer of security against bad weather.
A Ziploc bag is also a good idea for extreme temperature conditions. If you wear glasses, you know that they'll get all fogged up when you go from winter weather into a nice warm house. Your camera will do the same, and condensation can lead to damage. Throw the camera in the baggie before you come in, and help ward off some of that moisture.
A one gallon bag doesn't take up much room in your camera bag, and you never know when you might have a use for it.

Better yet, throw a silica gel packet or two into the bag along with the camera so that any moisture that does make it into the bag has a place to go. You may also want to consider carrying a kitchen-size trash bag with you as well…that way you can protect your entire camera bag if needed.August 28, 2007 5:58 pm
Not bad Craig — I typically keep one or two silica gel packets in my camera bag anyways. I hadn't thought to keep a trash bag to cover the entire camera bag, but it makes sense. Extra lenses and lighting equipment are susceptible to damage from moisture too.August 28, 2007 6:59 pm

The future of Mexico's upstream sector takes shape
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The Mexican Senate just approved the secondary legislation. The final product is promising given its market-friendly approach. With the passing of the governing laws of the Energy Reform, the focus now shifts to Round Zero and subsequent licensing rounds. Round Zero has a mid-September deadline and will set the landscape for the upstream sector in Mexico. We believe that the first licensing round will offer JV opportunities with Pemex
What's included
This report contains
Table of contents
- The upcoming rounds
A new fiscal regime
- Existing Pemex's asset regime (asignaciones)
- New contracts
- (contratos)
- This regime will apply to all assets that are awarded in future licensing rounds, post-Round Zero. We expect that specific fiscal terms will be announced on a round-by-round basis in order to give CNH maximum flexibility. According to the new Hydrocarbons Revenue Law, the bidding terms will include several variables, potentially including work commitments, signature bonuses, and additional royalties. The application of these variables will depend on the specific contract type used.
- Approved fiscal/bidding variables for all regimes

GEARBOX designer Torotrak saw its share price collapse 61pc yesterday as Toyota pulled out of a licence deal to develop the group's key product.
The shares plummeted from 342.5p to 132.5p after the company said it had received notification on Monday that Japan's largest car maker is to cease development of infinitely variable transmission (IVT). Only last week, when announcing half-year results - which included an 80pc fall in turnover - Torotrak trumpeted IVT as "the automotive transmission of the future", which would supersede conventional automatic gearboxes within a decade.
Tests have shown a 28pc improvement in fuel economy over a four-speed automatic as well as a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. However, Toyota said that vibration meant the "driveability" of its IVT-equipped vehicle was "unacceptable". Torotrak said that, unlike other licensees, "Toyota chose to conduct the design and development of their own transmissions and vehicle without accepting solutions or hands-on involvement from Torotrak".
Finance director Rebecca Joyce said: "We're disappointed and frustrated. We feel we had the answer but our advice wasn't listened to." House broker Dresdner Kleinwort Benson reduced its recommendation from buy to hold. Although forecasts have not been downgraded as a result of Toyota's move, which has little financial impact, one analyst said: "The perception of the market now is very much that the technology is suspect, that it may not work".
Ms Joyce said: "We are no less certain that we will get to market launch than we were yesterday."
- Shares in gearbox developer Antonov plunged 22pc to 22.5p on news that it is investigating options for a capital call to raise additional working capital.

Remember that time the queen, who is politically neutral, casually muttered after church that she hoped Scottish voters would think very carefully before voting on the independence question?
And remember how it was shouted from every rooftop that this was NOT a deliberate attempt to influence the outcome, because that would be illegal?
Well surprise surprise it turns out the whole thing was carefully stage managed and scripted by the tory/lib dem Cabinet Office (click accompanying photo for the article on this subject).
I wonder how many other total lies the No voters still believe to be true, I wonder how long they can stick their heads in the sand and pretend the tory cuts won't affect them.
You know I don't begrudge the pensioners for being scared into voting No. I understand that. The ones I really blame are those of working age, with access to the Internet, who SHOULD have known better than to trust a pack of liars and just hope their own little picket fence existence wouldn't be affected and damn everybody else. It's those smug bastards I blame, and when it's their turn to be pensioners I hope, if we're still in the UK by then, that they themselves have to decide daily whether to heat or eat, and I hope they realise it was their own fault for voting No too.
But that won't happen. No matter how impoverished Scotland gets or how unequal its inhabitants* are, those smug gits will be the ones with well stocked larders, wealthy kids and fat nest eggs. They won't care that by then Scotland will have been mismanaged into a poverty graveyard. They'll probably have moved to their cheap second homes on the continent by then.
Make no mistake these people would vote No again in a heartbeat, in the full knowledge that they live in comfort on the backs of other peoples' poverty.
And that's the real problem with Scotland today. Too many selfish wilfully ignorant arseholes with no social conscience.
* Scotland's inhabitants are subjects of the queen, not citizens, no matter what your passport may say. Still, i prefer to call us inhabitants. I don't accept subjugation to a foreign unelected head of state, no matter whether they are monstrous or benign.

The Church of Bangladesh is a united church with a similar background to other united churches on the Indian subcontinent, i.e.,Church of Pakistan and the Churches of North and South India. The Anglican roots go back to the 17th century when Church of England chaplains came to the area to minister to traders with the East India Company. Mission work in the area started in the first decades of the 19th century. Presb came to East Bengal in 1817 when Church of Scotland missionaries, based in Calcutta, began to work in Rajshahi. In the 1920s a Christian Mission Hospital was established there; it is still operating today. In 1924 Presb churches in East Bengal, along with the Congreg churches, joined the United Church of North India. In 1930 the Anglican Church in India became independent; after partition in 1947 it was known as the Church of India, Pakistan, Burma, and Ceylon. In 1970 the two churches united to form the Church of Pakistan. Following the war with Pakistan and the independence of Bangladesh, the former diocese of Dhaka became independent and was named the Church of Bangladesh.

Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster argues that Chrome, which has become the second most popular Web browser with about 26% market share by StatCounter's figures, is "a meaningful, underappreciated asset of Google. Based on Google's recent search distribution deal with Mozilla for Firefox, we believe Chrome could be worth over $1 billion to Google."
Munster's math is simple. Last month, Google and Firefox signed a three-year extension for $900 million. Munster assumes that Chrome could generate about $300 million in annual revenue at the same market share it has now. Assigning a multiple of five times revenue, Munster says Chrome could be worth $1.5 billion.
"Since Chrome is likely growing faster given that it is taking market share and Firefox is losing, we believe Chrome could be attributed a higher annual revenue assumption than Firefox and would likely be worth more than $2 billion as a standalone entity," Munster writes.
For some context, if Chrome was its own $2 billion company, it would only be larger than two constituents of the S&P 500 -- Supervalue
That said, Munster believes Chrome, which launched only three years ago, "enables Google to push other browser providers to continue to innovate, in turn enabling Google's services to take advantage of better browsers to deliver richer experiences to users. However, given Chrome's success, we believe it could mark a way to keep search distribution costs from other browsers in check long-term (beyond 2 years)."
Of course, Microsoft (MSFT)
Munster has an "overweight" rating on Google with a $720 price target, which he has maintained since Oct. 14. By comparison, Jefferies came out only two days ago with a "buy" rating and a whopping $850 price target. Shares of Google.

I thought I was so slick. After I arrived at the airport in Phnom Penh from Siem Reap, I had charmed my way onto the casino's free bus to downtown, rather than pay for a taxi or tuk tuk. Feeling a tinge of remorse, I thought the least I could do was throw a few dollars in a slot machine as a thank you for the free ride. The free bottles of water and the air conditioning were a nice escape from the oppressively humid mid-day heat of the Cambodian Capital anyway.
It was about check-in time at my hostel, and I had turned the $5 I had dropped into the slot machine into $20 though, so I cashed out my winnings. Headed toward the door feeling like I had just pulled the greatest swindle ever. Exit the casino, and start negotiating with a tuk tuk driver. My luck was about to turn.
While I am talking to the driver, I start feeling this heavy pressure pushing against my back. I turn and look behind me. Someone driving an SUV has hit me. A police officer, I am not sure if they were a government employee or working for the casino, orders the driver to pull over and out of the vehicle. He begins screaming at the driver, and pointing at me. They argue.
I raise my hands in a shrug like gesture and just say "I'm fine. I'm ok."
Not wishing to be involved or witness whatever was taking place, I quickly jumped in the tuk tuk and headed toward Paul's Backpack Hostel in the center of the Riverside district. It had decent 3-5 star reviews on sites such as tripadvisor.com and the price was affordable for a private room.
When I arrived, another bad sign though. I had booked and paid for a private room for one night, but the receptionist seemed to have no idea why I was there. Eventually he understood that I had reserved a room, but tried to charge me. Thankfully, the email receipt was enough to convince him I had already paid.
A walk up a few flights of hot, and filthy stairs to the room. My second thoughts began getting the better of me, but I continued to fight them off. I entered the stuffy windowless room, just wanting to relax after a long morning trip from Siem Reap. As I looked around, the situation grew less attractive.
A cockroach hanging out in the toilet. Mold and decay in the corners of the bathroom. Despite a sign in the front of the building advertising hot water, there was only a cold water tap on the shower. Holes kicked in the doors.
"It's only a ten dollar room, I can deal with it for a night and find something in the morning," I tell myself repeatedly.
For some reason looking at the worn and shabby blanket on the bed spark a sense of further investigation. After seeing what appeared to be blood stains on the sheet, I thought there must be bed bugs. At this point, I couldn't say I was surprised.
I decided I would pick up the mattress and check around the corners and seams to see if I could find any bugs. I'm on my knees, eyes still adjusting to the low light of this dank room, trying to find any further signs of the traveler's worst hitchhiker. After maybe a minute or so, as if it had been camouflaged, something much much worse came into view.
I think it was the blood I noticed first. Then the needle, and the syringe. In shock and staring in disbelief, I drop the mattress back down onto the frame. Grab my bag and go back downstairs once again to the clueless man working there.
"I'm not staying here" I told him as I threw the key down on the table.
No reaction.
"Do you want to see why? Come with me and I will show you."
We both go upstairs to the room, and I tell him to pick up the mattress. After he does not appear to notice the used syringe and needle, I point it out to him. This is when I also noticed the additional needles, one of which still looked to be partially full. He begins grabbing them. Bare handed by the sharp end.
I'm screaming for him not to do that, but he either can not understand or does not care. My hands up in the air in revulsion, and backing away from him out of fear he might stick me with them. He casually throws them in the plain trash can in the closet of the room.
I've seen enough and as quickly as I can I am outside on the street and looking for a new place to stay. Casino karma was not yet done kicking my ass this day though. More to come.

5 reasons Ohio State football will be better in 2017 than 2016
COLUMBUS, Ohio — Spring practice officially is underway as the Ohio State football program looks to take another step forward in its sixth season with Urban Meyer.
As always, the Buckeyes possess no shortage of expectations for the coming season. That's why despite compiling an 11-1 regular-season record and making the College Football Playoff in 2016, Ohio State still has a sour taste in its mouth following a 31-0 loss against Clemson in the CFP semifinal Fiesta Bowl.
But despite the Buckeyes losing seven starters — all likely NFL draft picks — from the playoff team, there's reason to believe Ohio State will be even better in 2017.
What exactly are they? Let's take a look.
Kevin Wilson
Despite ranking third in the Big Ten in efficiency, the Buckeyes passing attack didn't play to its potential in 2016. Ohio State ranked 81st nationally in passing offense, averaging 213.9 yards per game.
Enter new offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson, formerly of the same role at Oklahoma and the ex-head coach at Indiana. In Norman and Bloomington, Wilson's offenses were some of the most dynamic in college football. The Hoosiers ranked 28th nationally — and second in the Big Ten — a year ago.
"We're not changing," Meyer said of Ohio State's offensive approach. "We're enhancing what we do."
The should mean a big season for quarterback J.T. Barrett, who failed to pass for more than 127 yards in any of Ohio State's final three games of the 2016 season. If the Buckeyes can fix their biggest issue from a year ago this offseason, they should be in good shape.
Better wide receivers
It wasn't all scheme that contributed to Ohio State's aerial issues last season. Perhaps no position group on the Buckeyes roster underperformed as much as the wide receivers in 2016.
"It wasn't there last year," Meyer said of his wideouts' production.
While the addition of Wilson should help the pass catchers, the Buckeyes also should benefit from the improvement of their younger wideouts and the addition of their 2017 class. Most notably, look for Binjimen Victor and K.J. Hill to take big steps in their sophomore seasons.
Add in highly touted — and big-bodied — incoming freshmen Trevon Grimes, Jaylen Harris and Elijah Gardiner and Ohio State's wide receivers appear poised to once again carry their weight. After the Buckeyes' first practice, Meyer said he's already seen signs of improvement.
"Absolutely," Meyer answered when asked if he liked what he saw. "There's good, talented guys."
Ohio State's 2017 class
Speaking of Ohio State's incoming recruiting class, it's not a stretch to say the Buckeyes will improve their talent level in the coming year. Ranking No. 2 nationally, Ohio State's 2017 class laid claim to the highest per-player ranking in the history of 247Sports.
"One of the best classes in history," Meyer said on National Signing Day.
Already, the Buckeyes have 10 of their newest players on campus as early enrollees, several of whom are competing for starting spots. Ohio State's roster will improve in June, when 5-star defensive end Chase Young arrives on campus.
With players including Malik Hooker, Marshon Lattimore and Gareon Conley off to the NFL, the Buckeyes are losing plenty. But they're also bringing in the rare recruiting class that possesses plenty of players capable of making impacts on Day 1 of their college careers.
The schedule
Sure, it might be out of the Buckeyes' control. But it's nonetheless worth noting that Ohio State appears to possess a much more manageable schedule in 2017 than a year ago.
Most notably, the Buckeyes will host their toughest out-of-conference opponent, Oklahoma, at Ohio Stadium on Sept. 9, with more than a week to prepare after a Thursday date with Indiana to start the season. Ohio State also will host the only team to beat it in the 2016 regular season — Penn State — on Oct. 28, a week after the Buckeyes' off week.
Tough trips to Nebraska and Iowa could cause problems, but Ohio State will avoid reigning Big Ten West champ Wisconsin in the regular season. The Buckeyes also will travel to Ann Arbor to face rival Michigan at the end of the season. Meyer will hope to extend his winning streak against the Wolverines to six.
From an opponent standpoint, Ohio State's schedule is hardly easy. But compared to a year ago, the Buckeyes seem to be facing a better draw.
Whether it is because they opted to enter the NFL draft or because they were unable to finish their college careers, fifth-year seniors often don't play for Meyer.
This upcoming season appears to be the exception.
With Barrett, Tyquan Lewis, Billy Price, Chris Worley, Marcus Baugh and Michael Hill, the Buckeyes are benefiting from what was a historic 2013 recruiting class. That leadership already has manifested itself in what will be one of the most mature groups Meyer has coached.
"We have a ton of great leaders here," Meyer said.
Between the leadership and experience at the top and infusion of talent at the bottom, this might be the most complete roster Meyer has coached at Ohio State. Considering his 61-6 record in Columbus, that's saying something. But there are plenty of reasons to believe the Buckeyes can live up to the hype.
