To Write A crowd sourced, self evolving, Novel(story) on TED in 30 days. With the help of the best argumentative minds in every field.
Every age has its own circumstances and its own problems, we can not continue to follow all the centuries old religious stories to guide us in the complex, dynamic, ever evolving present.
I guess the current generation is feeling a lack of guidance, when stuck to something very basic and very core, when they faced with the dilemma of right and wrong everyone needs to chose from the "self formulated/ self perceived right or wrong".
(I know there is no absolute Right & Wrong, but most of the time we have to take a stand to move ahead).
Hence today I Invite all the inquisitive and the best minds of century, in every field, at this common place, TED to at least try to formulate the introduction of the story in the next 30 days. And i believe we will take this story somewhere because i have some ideas in mind.
Just a thought to scratch - " This could be the story of the "Real Universal God", who actually gave the opportunities(various mystique) to rule over the people as REGIONAL GODS and keep the people in control for the sake of Deep Ecology. And hence this whole story tries to explore his true intention towards THE UNIVERSE .
I know, i know ! it has been tried many a times before, but who knows This is the right time, it was waiting to reveal itself.
Jul 21 2013: Firstly, Hello! Secondly, I love your idea and I think it is swell considering the amount of interest you will generate if you honestly consider this topic. The fact that you consider the universal God as in that all persons might relate to this concept shows the importance of applying all major religions into a single depiction that might display how your own reasoning form to fill the concept of a monotheistic religion comprised of all opinion and the impact ALL of these religions have had on humanities history.
Best of luck! Feel free to reply with any more specific questions/whatever you have.
Jul 21 2013: Thanks and even after wondering if i could have expressed only half of what i meant, You have Understood the 100 percent. And for that i would request you(and will request others too now) to actively participate to this "challenge to understand "the state of the art of THE PURPOSE! " We request you to join this because i think - That one should not waste the time to play with these "Individual streams researches, having limits, and has a moore's law sort of thing in development and depend on the speed of development of other educational individual streams".
(example- understanding the infinity in mathematics will eventually solve the secrete of Universe and the understanding of astrology, - Of Physics, on how the infinite number of subatoms are responsible to produce individual perspectives(your consciousness right now ?) & how every other atom is somehow a reason for this individual perspective.
On the contrary we all should first try to understand - 'the purpose' (with all the state of the art understanding, as none of them is ever absolute), and because it has been done before also we should right now formulate "the state of the art purpose"!Jul 21 2013: The Ultimate Ulterior Purpose !Aug 4 2013: Actually I met this old guy at Hrishikesh and he had an accident because of my fault, therefore i took care of him for his last three months, the moment he realized i am worthy enough for something, he shared a secret with me - according to him, "there were specific guidelines for the benefit of humanity and every species as a whole (deep ecology) which were used by understanding and controlling the basic human rational errors. But these guidelines were meant only for limited people and these people used it accordingly to guide and control large regional masses under the so name Religions( he sounded pretty convincing that every ritual of these religions were designed for "acting above self & Beyond Now") . But later on were manipulated by there czars (you can guess the names). so you can imagine it as Universal God Or Universal Guidelines.

Jul 21 2013: i got your joke.
greg dahlen
Jul 23 2013: Why joke, shishir, my imagination isn't that strong and I could only think of the first two sentences of the story, is it okay? Oh, I see, maybe you wanted a deep morally instructive story, not just a story, well, you know, any situation can become deeply morally instructive.

Jul 23 2013: You are most Welcome !!Aug 4 2013: you can contribute .. if you like.. In fact i request you to contribute.

Jul 21 2013: First of all A personal Thanks for your wishes for the Project.
The story of the character may not be something like "Physics" or 'Science' explaination,
But We will try to satisfy the urge of the character to fit in the most widely acceptable "Definition of God", based On Logic. Its kind of reverse Engineering the God Purpose, You may say !
And yes, we know how difficult it is to Portray God as Character, hence we are thinking of creating a character as that of "Man From Earth".Jul 26 2013: Why not discuss the concept for 30 days and then use that discussion to put together your introduction.
I am interested in the idea that you have mentioned the "real" universal God. Are you suggesting there are counterfeit universal Gods?
Along these lines I have been fascinated with Gold and Fool's Gold. Pyrite, also known as "fool's gold" looks like gold, but the similarity is much deeper than that. The crystal structure of Gold is a cube, and for some strange reason Pyrite often forms large cube structures even though it does not have a cubic crystal structure. You can see the counterfeit structure if you look closely at the faces of the cube. What is also interesting is that although the crystal structure of Gold is a cube it rarely forms cubes, instead it blends in with the rock it is in so that it is often impossible to see. There are other interesting contrasts between the two. But I wonder if the "real" universal God created Pyrite as a lesson on counterfeits.
Aug 4 2013: I met this old guy at Hrishikesh and he had an accident because of my fault, therefore i took care of him for his last three months, the moment he realized i am worthy enough for something, he shared a secret with me - according to him, "there were specific guidelines for the benefit of humanity and every species as a whole (deep ecology) which were used by understanding and controlling the basic human rational errors. But these guidelines were meant only for limited people and these people used it accordingly to guide and control large regional masses under the so name Religions( he sounded pretty convincing that every ritual of these religions were designed for "acting above self & Beyond Now") .

I realized Morgan was looking directly into the eyes of Aristo, Morgan took a deep breath in a perplex manner, turns towards me and asked – What do you believe, Is there an 'Ultimate Ulterior Purpose' or we are just Results of the complex co-incidences?
It was the moment!!! The moment when you know you cannot postpone the question any longer, the moment you cannot give any excuse, there is no running away. This was the situation my 'Always Self Alert 'warned me off every time. Absorbing, holding & finally exploding my true anxiety, I Said ''I don't know.'' I bent my face down & continued looking in the vain.
Aristo draw our attention by asking – But in any case we could not confirm the integrity of your so called 'Ultimate Ulterior Purpose' mr. Morgan.
Morgan Nodded agreeing to his point and said- 'What if we three discuss 'The Ultimate Ulterior Purpose'?, imagining that I have read this 'Ultimate Ulterior Purpose of the Creator', In the form of a book and as now its in my head, I can speak for it and will try to prove every point under the boundaries of logic. This book is having such Ultimate Ulterior Purposes, that it was used by the Intermediately Interpreters to write their own version of The Ultimate Ulterior Purpose, but they manipulated the Interpretation.Jul 23 2013: PAGE 1 -
"Don't ever consider my 'questions & point' as 'illogical or stupid', because I may be using your answers for these questions in future to build a ladder to trap you deep". - Said Morgan
YES…Morgan was like that only.
"We were three people in that confined space. To my north was sitting Morgan, his custom made white shining suit with a neck tie, decorated on his very firm body, gave me a taste of his relation between his skin & his personality. Morgan always had a smile on his face with a dynamic combination of 'faith, love, fear & temptations' as if welcoming us to join him.
Aristo was enjoying imagining Morgan as Morgan freeman from Hollywood, and he was not wrong altogether as Morgan's native origin and his grey hair from his head extending up to his French cut beard & not to forget his complementary deep voice, were having the same flare and charm as that of Morgan freeman.
Aristo, I think Aristo had a bad habit of exchanging sides between Morgan and Me, but I believe he was just confused! Most of the time Aristo loves the idea of Morgan, only after when i share my 'Always Self Alert methodology', he stops exploring deep with Morgan. In a disappointing tone Morgan described Aristo in a line once as–"He, who always questions the direction towards the answer but is still afraid to take a leap of faith".
Bending on his brown leather sofa, keeping his elbows on his knees Morgan Continued- 'There always was an 'Ultimate Ulterior Purpose' and now I feel it. His next statement was full of sound of helplessness -"It's not specific, it's a kind of a déjà-vu, it was always here in my head; and now I want to draw it specifically.
There was an unanswered silence for next four and a half minutes.
And in the end there was 'ME; i was the one who was willing to believe Ulterior purpose if you could prove logicallyJul 20 2013: so the orcas told us they were scared of we humans because we walk upright....
Jul 21 2013: Greg Dahlen
That Orka story was just to scratch the Itch.
It ends after the engineer decides to Records the communication of Orkas and replay that voice to the New born(next generations) for a quite a few time and observes for decades.. Though he does not understands a word of what the next generation is learning in that controlled environment with those pre-recorded voices, But They Learn...
Greg, Are you aware of the intelligence level Of Orkas at present ?Aug 4 2013: In short they evolved by themselves via communicating the crucial learning in a much organised manner, as we humans do :)

Work Zone Awareness Week
Brings Attention to Safety
"We're All In This Together"
CRAWFORDSVILLE – Governor Michael R. Pence is proclaiming April 15-19, 2013 as Work Zone Awareness Week in Indiana. Work Zone Awareness Week marks the ceremonial start to highway construction season and intends to bring awareness to motorist and worker safety in work zones.
INDOT will invest more than $1 billion in new highway construction projects this year to enhance safety, mobility and economic growth in Indiana. INDOT's goal is to maximize both the safety and mobility of motorists and workers while maintaining as much access as possible to businesses, residences and emergency services.
INDOT is dedicated to continuously improving work zone safety. This year's National Work Zone Awareness Week theme is "We're All In This Together," and INDOT needs participation from everyone, especially motorists, to make highway work zones as safe as possible.
Highway workers go about their duties while thousands of vehicles drive through their workplaces at high speeds, and it is critical for everyone's well-being to drive safely. Four out of every five deaths in highway work zones are drivers and their passengers, not highway workers. Last year, eight people were killed and more than 500 people were injured in Indiana highway work zones. The majority of these injuries and deaths are caused by rear-end collisions, following too closely or making improper lane changes.
Highway work zones—especially those with narrow lanes or changing traffic patterns—leave little room for distractions and require attentive, cautious driving habits. Never text or talk on the phone while driving, especially through a work zone. Several studies show drivers using a phone are four times more likely to be in a crash. Other distractions, which include everything other than driving, can be just as dangerous.
Speeding or driving recklessly in a work zone is also dangerous. Motorists face fines of up to $1000 for speeding, up to $5000 for driving recklessly or aggressively, and up to $10,000 and/or a prison sentence of up to eight years for injuring or killing a highway worker. These fines are used to fund additional Indiana State Police work zone patrols.
Indiana State Police have nine white pickup trucks patrolling in and around highway work zones across Indiana. The pickup trucks resemble typical vehicles normally seen in and around highway construction zones. Motorists are urged to comply with reduced speed limits in construction zones to promote safety for the highway workers as well as the motoring public. Motorists that fail to heed the reduced speed limits may meet one of the troopers driving the special pickup truck police vehicles.
Motorists can learn about highway work zones at www.TrafficWise.IN.gov or by calling 1-800-261-ROAD (7623). Updates on projects and restrictions are also available at www.INDOT.IN.gov, by following us on Twitter.com/INDOT_WCentral and liking us www.facebook.com/INDOTWestCentral.
As part of Work Zone Awareness Week in Indiana, INDOT would like to alert drivers to some of the work zones they might encounter in West Central Indiana this construction season:
1.) Pavement preservation projects on I-70, between US 40/S.R. 46 (Exit 11) and S.R. 59 (Exit 23), and from 3 miles west of S.R. 243 (Exit 37) to US 231 (Exit 41) and from Little Point (Exit 51) to S.R. 39 (Exit 59).
2.) I-65: Added travel lanes project from six tenths of a mile north of S.R. 32 to one half mile south of Boone County Road 100 East.
3.) US 231 Asphalt resurface and patching from South River Road to US 52 in Tippecanoe County.

EDITOR'S NOTE:This is the first in a three-part series on 2013 inductees into the Creston Community Schools Hall of Fame at 12:15 p.m. Friday in the CHS auditorium. Today's feature on Tim Kenyon will be followed by Curt Olson Wednesday and Thelda Bender Williams Thursday.
Tim Kenyon is the third member of his immediate family to serve as Union County Attorney, having worked in the office as a criminal prosecutor for 30 years. He follows his father, the late Arnold O. Kenyon II, county attorney from 1953 to 1956; and older brother Arnold O. "Skip" Kenyon III, county attorney from 1978 to 1983.
In fact Skip, who now shares duties as Creston city attorney with Todd Nielsen, worked together with Tim in the office for a time in the early 1980s. When Skip became city attorney, Tim was elected county attorney in 1986. It became a full-time position by the Union County Board of Supervisors in 1990.
With the onset of additional drug cases and various other crimes, the office under Kenyon's direction has prosecuted more cases (6,100) than in 80 years of records before he joined the office (4,000).
That amount of public service is notable in itself, but when Kenyon is inducted in the Creston Hall of Fame Friday in the Distinguished Alumni category, it will be as much for his countless volunteer hours to the school district in his hometown.
School service
In a nutshell, these are the three areas in which Kenyon has made significant contributions over a span of many years:
• He received the Governor's Volunteer Award from Gov. Terry E. Branstad in 1998 for his work with local middle school students in mock trial competition.
• He is past president of Creston Activities Booster Club, having been especially active on the CHS band parents committee. He was involved in obtaining the marching band's first travel trailer, and served as chaperone for the band's first two performances in Florida at Disney World in the early 2000s.
• Many Creston High School students have taken classes he has taught as an adjunct instructor at Southwestern Community College. With a deep background in psychology as an undergraduate student at the University of Iowa, Kenyon has taught psychology along with business law and, more recently, criminal justice classes. He has also appeared frequently as a guest speaker in high school and middle school social studies classes.
Nobody appreciates Kenyon's support more than Mike Peters, CHS director of bands.
"Tim has always been an active member of our band department," Peters said. "First as a student, then as one of the strongest band parents I have ever had. We used to joke that he was still gaining band letter points as an alum, because he continued to play with the pep band all the years that his children were members of the CHS band program."
Peters also mentioned Kenyon and other "Band Dads" for establishing the tradition of being on the band trailer crew.
"Tim has always been an amazing friend of not only the CHS band program, but to the entire Creston instrumental music family," Peters said.
For Kenyon, a professed "Type A workaholic," it's been a labor of love. After graduating from Creston High School in 1976, he continued playing trumpet in college with the University of Iowa jazz band, and later with the University of Iowa Medical School jazz band, for which he took some razzing from his law school classmates.
Kenyon has also regularly played "Taps" at local Memorial Day programs with either his brother, Skip, or son, Alex.
Tim and wife Barbara Kenyon were honored, along with a group of other CHS parents, with "Friends of Fine Arts" awards in 2007 for their volunteer service while their children were students. Daughter Elizabeth has followed her father's footsteps. She is a recent graduate of the UI Law School and this summer passed the bar exam.
"Rick Shelton spearheaded the job of fundraising for our first band trailer," Kenyon said. "Until then they had rented a U-Haul truck. We got it done. It was a gift to the school, all through donations. As soon as we got it, everybody realized how wonderful it was."
Kenyon became a "roadie" for the band, helping to load and unload the band's equipment for weekend contests in the fall.
"It would last from 6 in the morning until midnight maybe, especially at (West Des Moines) Valleyfest," Kenyon said. "But we all had a lot of fun with it."
The original trailer, along with so many memento photographs inside, was blown away in the April 2012 tornado, but insurance allowed for a replacement trailer.
Mock trial
Kenyon first got involved in helping middle school TAG (Talented and Gifted) students prepare for mock-trial competition in the late 1980s, well before his own children were in school.
"Working with Lauris Heinzel to help the kids for mock trial was very near and dear to my heart," Kenyon said. "I did it for at least 10 years. They felt like they wanted to do something for me, but I can't accept gifts as an elected official. So, lo and behold, I find out in 1998 that I was going to receive a Governor's Volunteer Award for my work in mock trial. That still means a lot to me."
His work at Southwestern Community College began as an emergency "fill-in" for a local attorney who moved to another community, in the middle of a semester of teaching business law at SWCC. He got a call from a longtime friend from his Creston High School days, Dr. Barb Crittenden, SWCC president.
"I finished that semester, and I realized that I liked it," Kenyon said. "I taught some psychology courses, taught for a time for Buena Vista classes, and now I'm teaching business law and a new criminal-law class. I was on the curriculum committee for that."
Meanwhile, he remains busy prosecuting Union County criminal cases, as well as representing all Union County offices and elected officials. He has also served other counties as a special prosecutor, and is past president (2010) of the Iowa County Attorney Association.
He said it's not always easy to prosecute cases in his hometown, a small enough community that it's not unusual to be familiar with the parties involved. Since the office is full time — he has no duties representing anyone in private practice — he's able to avoid conflicts of interest in most cases.
"I try to deal with the behaviors, I don't judge people," Kenyon said. "You deal with it objectively. I have this overriding sense of fairness and justice, but I also like to help people."
Helping them, he said, in some cases means serving time in jail, or in a rehabilitation facility. It also means helping victims of crime.
"I like to help the community deal with these situations," Kenyon said, "by working with the police, to right the wrong, and sometimes it means getting their stuff back. I've been blessed to work with some really good people to accomplish those things."
His only assistant in the office that handles 200 prosecutions a year is Teri Siddens, legal secretary and office manager. The work remains a passion, and he has no regrets about building the career in his hometown.
"I was very fortunate in high school. I had the benefit of great people helping me," he said. "(Principal and baseball coach) Ron Levine, (instructors) Chuck Eilers, Dave Rissler and Dick Bauman, just to name a few. And the neat thing is, I still get to work with great people."
Wednesday: The late Curt Olson, longtime assistant principal and activities director, inducted as Distinguished Faculty.

Jansrud and Svindal podium in Kvitfjell
The Norwegian duo of Kjetil Jansrud and Aksel Lund Svindal used the home snow advantage to post their best results of the season in the Downhill. Starting from number 1, Jansrud, who won both training runs looked to have made it three from three as he tore into the course: Big names in the Downhill competition could not live with the time that the HEAD World Cup Rebel from Norway set. Ultimately it took a super human effort from Klaus Kroell on the lower section of the course to dislodge Jansrud and deprive him of a first World Cup downhill win.
For Jansrud the clock has been hard on him this weekend: In the Super G he was three hundredths from the win (in placing third) and now two hundredths separated him from the win. Jansrud's small mistake on the run in to the finish had been seen by the rest of the field as they watched him on the television and Kroell admitted afterwards that he had used this knowledge to attack on the run in.
Aksel Lund Svindal spoke after the race and said that January had not been good for him in terms of challenging for the Overall as he had been too often around tenth place: "being on home snow has changed this," he grinned!
With Ben Thomsen and Didier Cuche also in the top ten overall, this was not a bad day for the HEAD World Cup Rebels. For Cuche, tenth place was not so great as he lost ground in the race for the Downhill Globe to the race winner. With one more race in Schladming at the World Cup Finals, Cuche will be looking to end his career on a high. First though there is the matter of the final Super G before the Finals…

The carotid artery carries blood through the neck to the brain. Blockage of this artery can lead to brain damage called a
A carotid artery endarterectomy is a surgery to remove the deposits from this artery. Deposits in arteries result in plaque. This can slow and even stop blood from flowing through the artery.
This procedure helps to restore proper blood flow to the brain. This will help to prevent
transient ischemic attacks
(TIAs). TIAs are mini-strokes and considered a warning sign for a future stroke.
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
Factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
Your doctor may do the following:
Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
The night before, eat a light meal. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
You will lie flat on a table. A roll will be placed under your shoulder. Your head will be turned to the side. A cut in the skin will be made along the side of the neck. The cut will run from just behind the ear to a point above the breastbone. Clamps will be placed above and below the plaque on the carotid artery. In some cases, a temporary bypass tube will be used to maintain blood flow around the area that is being operated on.
The artery will be opened and cleaned of plaque. The artery will then be sewn back together. The clamps, and bypass tube, if used, will then be removed. A section of the carotid artery may need to be removed. In this case, an artificial graft or a segment of vein will be sewn in to replace it. The neck incision will be closed with stitches.
arteriogram may be done to ensure that there are no complications, such as blood clots or narrowing. You may be given medication to help prevent blood clotting.
2-4 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
The usual length of stay is 1-3 days. Your doctor may choose to keep you longer if complications occur.
It may take up to 2 weeks to recover. Slowly return to normal activity as tolerated. You may be referred to a dietitian who can help with dietary changes. These changes will help prevent a return of plaque build-up. Changes focus on
a diet low in saturated fat. Make sure your diet is high in fruits, vegetables,
grains, and fish.
It is important for you to monitor your recovery after you leave the hospital. Alert your doctor to any problems right away. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

According to a recent National Retail Federation survey, six in 10 shoppers polled said they'd like to receive gift cards this holiday season, the most in the survey's history.
Whether in Afghanistan or Alaska, service members also appreciate the value of a gift card during the holidays. Fortunately, Americans wishing to send support always hit the mark when sending an Army & Air Force Exchange Service gift card.
"By sending an Exchange gift card, troops are empowered to choose items that make their life easier wherever they are called to serve," said the Exchange's Senior Enlisted Advisor Chief Master Sgt. Tony Pearson. "Whether it's tacos, televisions or even just a tank of gas, Exchange gift cards personalize troop support."
While only authorized military shoppers can redeem Exchange gift cards, any American can send one by simply calling (800) 527-2345 or logging on to www.shopmyexchange.com and clicking "Support Your Troops" and then the "Gift and Calling Cards" icon.
From there, Exchange gift cards, ranging in values from $10 to $500, can be addressed to a specific Soldier, Airman, Sailor or Marine or sent to "any service member" through the Fisher House Foundation, Air Force Aid Society, Warrior and Family Support Center or Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society.

The Program for Cardiac Health… and Much More!
Would you like to lower your risk for developing heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and certain types of cancer? (Sure you would!) Guess what? There's an oldfashioned free treatment that can help you increase your bone density, lose weight, enhance your immune system, reduce the number or the dosage of medications you take, ward off depression and generally slow down the aging process. This treatment will also enhance your sex life and improve your sleep quality. All you need to commit to is 30 to 60 minutes per day on most days of the week. What is this fountain of youth and elixir of love? It's exercise!
How Much?
According to the American Heart Association and the
American College of Sports Medicine, the minimum recommendation for adults is moderate exercise for
30 minutes a day, five days per week, or vigorous exercise
for 20 minutes, three days each week.
Exercising Safely
You should get your physician's approval before beginning a regular exercise program. Exercising too hard when you are not in good physical shape puts you at risk for a heart attack.
If, while exercising, you experience any unusual shortness of breath, chest tightness, pain, nausea, dizziness or a general feeling that something is not right, you should contact your doctor immediately or call 911 as these can
be symptoms of a heart attack. Make sure to dress for the
weather and drink water before, during and after exercise.
The FIT Exercise Prescription
Frequency: You should exercise five to six days a week to
meet the minimum recommendations. Any exercise that
uses large muscle groups to get your heart beating faster is
considered aerobic exercise and will improve your heart
and lung function.
Intensity: To improve the strength of your heart, you
will need to exercise at a moderate to vigorous intensity.
During moderate intensity, you should be able to
breathe through your nose, feel a slight sweat, talk
but not sing and feel a slight sweat. Vigorous exercise
is beneficial but make sure you discuss it with your doctor
first, as orthopedic and cardiovascular problems are more
likely at this intensity.
Time: You should devote a minimum of 30 to 60
minutes a day to exercise. You can break up your
exercise into several 10-minute aerobic bouts and
achieve similar cardiac benefits. To lose weight, it is
better to keep your intensity low but continuously
increase the length of time that you exercise. You should also devote at least 30 minutes twice a week
to strength training to help maintain bone density and
prevent muscle loss.
A warm up and a cool down of five to 10 minutes each
should be included in your exercise routine. And finally,
after any type of aerobic activity or strength training, you
should stretch the major muscle and tendon groups in
your upper and lower body. Hold the stretch for 10 to 15
seconds. Breathe into the stretch and don't bounce.
Do I have to worry about my heart rate?
You should monitor your pulse manually or with
a heart monitor to be familiar with how you feel when
your heart is beating faster during exercise. For those
without cardiac disease and not on beta blocker
medications, use this formula for aerobic exercise:
(220–age) x 0.50 to 0.85.
This will give you your target aerobic heart rate range.
For example: If you are 50, your range is 85 to 144
heart beats per minute (85 is a low moderate intensity
and 144 is vigorous intensity).
If you have cardiac disease, please talk to your
cardiologist before beginning an exercise program.
Your cardiologist can recommend a specific target heart
rate range or level of exertion for you. Many cardiac
medications affect your heart rate and blood pressure in
response to exercise. A medically managed exercise program
staffed with cardiac nurses and exercise physiologists
can help get you started, stabilized and comfortable.
What types of exercises are best?
Variety is best so you don't run the risk of overusing
certain muscle and joints. Mix it up by walking
with a friend, taking a dance class or trying yoga.
No matter where you start you can always improve your
level of physical fitness—and your mind and body will
thank you!

NOTE: Updated with pictures of the finished project on 6/22/11. See far below.
I am (re)building an 11 ft. gate for the driveway. I plan to re-use the 1yr old cedar fence boards that are already on it since they match the rest of the fence. I do not want a double-hinged gate split in the middle with two separate pivot points, but would rather have a single, wide gate with one pivot point.
Here is my first design of it. What do you think?
I was thinking about using 2" square tubing 0.125" wall. I do not mind a little "overkill". The wheel will support the weight on the free/un-hinged end.
Suggestions, critiques, ideas, etc, please.
Results 1 to 10 of 37
Thread: Driveway Gate - opinions wanted
Driveway Gate - opinions wanted
The path/arc where the wheel rides needs to perfectly level with the hinged post or the wheel will leave the ground or dig in to the ground.
Most gates I have seen have a diagonal brace from the top corner hinge side to the bottom corner opposite side. If the wheel is always in contact with the ground that shouldn't be needed.MM250

Looks like it should do just fine. The only thing I would change, is to extend the verticle piece on the hinged side of the wheel, straight up to the next horizontal piece. But keep the short horizontal piece above the wheel. The horizontal piece that extends over to the next verticle piece could be turned upward to serve this purpose, instead of where you have it now. Otherwise it should do OK, as long as, has been said, the wheel stays in constant contact with the ground through out the arc swing of the gate.
Also you might want to consider installing a gate catch at the full open position of the gate to hold it open so the wind doesn't try to slam the gate shut when you want it to stay open. That's something that would happen to me just as I was trying to drive thru. It would hit the side of my truck or car denting and or scratching it.

Just wondering if there is a way to add suspension (springs) to the wheel or hinges or both to compensate for any variance in the road surface?

Diagonal vs. Horizontal support
Here is a spin on it with a diagonal brace installed.
I like the idea of the hidden or offset wheel, however, the shi**y gate I have now has offset wheels. The non-axial weight of the gate tends to make it lean forward, therefore, I decided the next wheel will be in line with the hinge supports. Also, my driveway is narrow and I don't want an offset wheel protruding out too much into the driveway. I have hit the existing wheels many times while backing in the boat.
Great idea about having an additional pole to lock the gate in place. I have had the wind swing the gate into the boat too!
Lastly, I am liking the suspension idea as well. Come to think of it, the drive was poured in stages over a period of years (first, just wheel paths, then they filled in the space in between), so it is definitely not a perfectly level surface. I guess the flexibility of the current gates allows the wheels to stay in contact with the ground, but I think this gate will be too rigid for that (hopefully).
What do you think about the diagonal vs horizontal middle support?
Also, what do you think about my choice of material?

use "uphill" hinges
You can make some hinges with 1/2" round bar inside some 1/2" sc. 40 pipe. Send a drill bit through the pipe to round the inside. Kings metals also sells premade good quality uphill hinges. Install the hinges with maybe 1/2" space at top and bottom of the pins. That way the gate can go up or down if it needs to.

Re Gate
I built the exact gate, I used aluminum square tube 2x2 strong but just the tubing alone weighs nothing and with x bracing very strong. Also at the wheel side I got a wheel from a friend that is used on stanging so it had a 10 inch post attached to it that slid into the staging frame. Well I got a piece of pipe 12 inches long that fit over the wheel post and in the square fench tube, put it in the sq. tube of the the gate end(noneed to weld it went to home depo and bought a mild spring and put it on the wheel shaft. So if there is any uneven in the ground the spring took care of it. works great.
$127!?!? I like your 1/2" round sock idea better.
I did stainless steel hinges similar to that method recently on a smoker I am making.

Tom Hanks (Getty Images)
The two-time Oscar winner, on to promote his forthcoming film, "Captain Phillips," reported that he had suffered from symptoms of Type 2 diabetes (which occurs when the body does not use insulin properly) for two full decades, but only received his diagnosis very recently.
The topic came up almost by chance, when Letterman host complimented Hanks on his appearance, noting the star seemed a bit trimmer. Hanks said he had a ways to go to meet his doctor's original goal.
"I went to the doctors and they said, 'You know those high blood sugar numbers you've been living with since you were 36? Well, you've graduated. You've got Type 2 diabetes, young man,'" he recounted.
"My doctor said, 'If you can weigh what you weighed in high school, you'll essentially be healthy and not have Type 2 diabetes," Hanks explained before noting that it was an impossible task. "Well, I'm gonna have Type 2 diabetes because there is no way I can weigh as much as I did in high school," he laughed.
When Letterman asked how much the star had weighed back in the day, Hanks didn't miss a beat. "96 pounds," he quipped. "I was a very skinny boy." And how.
Speaking exclusively to Yahoo Movies on Tuesday, Hanks went into more detail about his diagnosis — and his good prognosis.
"Hey, I don't have Type 1 diabetes! Type 1 diabetes is a really, really serious thing. I don't have that. I have high blood sugars and Type 2 diabetes is not going to kill me," explained Hanks. "But I just have to eat right, and exercise, and lose weight, and watch what I eat, and I will be fine for the rest of my life.
"Part of it's hereditary, without a doubt. I guess I just got it in me. But it's really about a lifestyle, man. ...I'm 57 years old and for the last 20 years I've been carrying around probably 15 or 20 extra pounds in my regular life. When I work, a lot of times I have to lose weight and I do that, but in my regular life I was not eating right, and I was not getting enough exercise. But by the nature of my diet and that lifestyle — boom!
"The end result was high blood sugars that reach the levels where it becomes Type 2 diabetes. I share that with a gajillion other people. The best thing you can do that for that and the thing that will completely negate its effects is eat right and lose weight. So that's all I'm doing."
It's a message Hanks has taken to Twitter.
And Hanks urged people who might have symptoms to get checked out, and not be scared of the disease.
"It's not a huge tragedy, but you know there are people out there that are saying, 'Geez, what's wrong with me? I don't understand. I feel like this, I get sluggish, I get down, I'm beginning to lose feeling in my feet.' When it's essentially from high blood sugars and they might be flirting with Type 2 diabetes themselves.
"Yahoo, put this out. Type 2 diabetes is not Type 1 diabetes. That's where you've got to like constantly monitor your insulin and give yourself shots. That's what Al Pacino had in 'Godfather III.' He had Type 1 diabetes."
And how has the reaction to his disclosure been?
"You know I didn't even know that it went out. Oh, I was on 'Letterman' last night. Right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, I just said it. So I guess I'm beginning to get some stuff like that. I can say look, I got no problems being the poster boy for a guy with Type 2 diabetes.
"Listen, it's no good to be carrying around that 15 to 25 extra pounds. ... [But] what's more important than losing weight is I'll feel better. And I'll be healthier. I think it's better to feel good than to look good."

Are Nobel Prizes overrated?
Since the issuing of the first award in 1901, the Nobel Prize has become the pinnacle of general recognition. Many would agree that those who have received the Nobel Prize have done great work in their field, but even so there are themes of rejection, redemption, and controversy surrounding the awards. In my Bioelectricity class, for example, we have discussed a number of Nobel Laureates such as Arrhenius, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1903, for work that once received less than stellar reviews from his very own professors, and Nernst, who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1920 for work based on the work of Arrhenius. We have also seen in history (e.g. Rosalind Franklin) circumstances in which scientists have participated closely with Nobel Prize-winning research, but nonetheless were left unrecognized. Finally, as there are very few categories for this award (physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, literature and peace), notably left out are awards for engineering, technology and other advancements for humankind. So I ask the TED community: Do you think Nobel Prize are awarded effectively? And with respect to science: Who is better at evaluating the value of a scientist's research? Peers? Awards committees? Especially given the fact that it often takes many years to see if research can stand the test of time? Are Nobel Prizes overrated?
Feb 8 2013: Hey Osaze!
You presented valid examples of instances where a scientist's Nobel Prize (or, rather, lack thereof) was not necessarily indicative of the value of the research that had been conducted.
While I definitely agree that in some instances this can be true, I also think that above all else, the Nobel Prize is just an award, and so the subjective nature of awards (in general) must be taken into account. When an actor wins an Academy Award, it is not a definitive statement that they are the best actor of that year, just the best actor out of a group of about five others, as chosen by one particular panel of people; there is human error involved in any award process. I don't think that the worth of research can necessarily be quantified by anyone, even if we were to wait to see how it "stands the test of time." There's no way to exactly know the impact a particular project has had, globally and through the years.
That being said, I do think that there is societal worth in the celebration that comes along with the Nobel Prize. It is a celebration of human achievement (whether this be in Physics, Peace or Literature), above all else. The more celebrity we can allocate to those people that are trying to make a positive impact on our understanding of this world, the better. The fanfare surrounding the award serves as positive reinforcement in our society for people who have the capability to keep exploring, writing, and researching to continue to do so, and that's definitely not overrated.
Feb 8 2013: HIndi,
I completely agree with all the points you've mentioned. It's quite funny actually, because I wrote this whole response for Osaze's comment, and for whatever reason the post didn't go through and got lost in cyberspace...
But Osaze, unfortunately, like any other award there is always going to be a human bias involved, and as gloomy as I might sounds- such is life.
Although you raised valid points and provided examples of certain situations, I don't think you can begin to say that the Nobel Prize is overrated. Until things change, the Nobel Prize is going to be the most prestigious award available in the designated fields. It is no coincidence that when you sit in a science or math lecture, and the professor gives you a brief history lesson about the mathematician who formulated the equation you're going to learn, or the physicist or the chemist, that almost all are recipients of Nobel Prizes for their work. These men and women were pioneers in their fields and were well deserving of prestigious recognition. That being said, some important people in the process are ignored and are not recognized for their contributions. That is definitely sad, but part of the faults of the human bias. But for all those "mistakes" I like to think there are at least 20 other recipients that were fully deserving of their recognitions.
Lauren Bayer
Feb 8 2013: Hindi - I completely agree with you that recognizing achievements in science, literature, peace and even economics is an important societal value. I think it demonstrates something highly commendable about our society, that we seek to recognize those that have made important intellectual achievements. I also agree that having such a public and prestigious award in the intellectual realm, can encourage others to enter the realms of science and iother intellectual pursuits. This is an extremely important value in our generation that I believe needs to continue to be fostered.

Despite the fact that the Nobel Prize, is "just an award" and that there are many other people in the world who are equally eligible for the award as the winners, having this award also demonstrates to both the scientific and the general world at large what are the biggest discoveries of the day. At a time, where it is easy to publish a paper - many people, scientists included, are continuously flooded by the wealth of scientific discoveries being made. Most of them, however, are extremely interesting, but are not necessarily going to change the world. Another one of the benefits of the Nobel Prize is that it helps distinguish the most groundbreaking discoveries of the time. Of course, the Prize doesn't always do so - there are definitely mistakes. But if you look in the history of the award, I think you can say that for many of the winners - their discoveries were definitely not overrated.
Feb 10 2013: I agree with you Hindi, and I'm reminded of Thomas More's "Utopia":
- 0
"As they fright men from committing crimes by punishments, so they invite them to the love of virtue by public honors: therefore they erect statues to the memories of such worthy men as have deserved well of their country, and set these in their market-places, both to perpetuate the remembrance of their actions, and to be an incitement to their posterity to follow their example."
It's fun to think about the Nobel Prize as being the opposite of a jail sentence. I guess they're not exactly comparable when the government punishes criminals, but the Nobel Prizes are given out by a private organization. But most people don't think of it as a private organization because it's such a historic prize. It feels like humanity gave them that award. We first heard about Nobel Prizes early in elementary school; I don't remember a time when I didn't think that the Nobel Prize was something given to good people.
My pessimistic side suspects that leaders sometimes think that people need to be told how to be a good member of society (whatever that means), as if they won't naturally be one. I don't have the energy to bring that point any further. Besides, I like the Nobel Prize.
Regarding their sometimes "bad" choices: If the motivation is to inspire people, they might sometimes think it's wise to pick someone that the public can relate to. Or someone whose work is relatively accessible to non-experts.
I do not expect the Norwegian Nobel Committee to add any new fields because they seem dedicated to Alfred Nobel's will, which described very specifically what should be done with his money. Well... they did have a hiccup when they introduced the Economics prize out of nowhere. Maybe there was some mismanagement involved.

I think you bring up a very meaningful thought on how we perceive awards that is definitely worth discussing. From personal observation of a much smaller scale, I find that recognition of ones work is sometimes an significant motivator for further research. I can only imagine what it might be like on a larger scale, i.e. the Nobel Prizes. I do think that seeking acclamation is a questionable motive at best, but at the same time do these motivations really matter if that person is producing valuable analysis that can further enhance our understanding?
As some people pointed out here, the Nobel prizes for peace and economics sometimes might not be the most deserved, and maybe a better system of commendation should be implemented, though that would be quite difficult as these categories tend to be very subjective. In terms of the more scientific awards, such as physics chemistry and medicine, I think the Nobel prizes have actually been largely successful in recognizing those who deserve acclamation. This might be in part because these are more objective areas and disputing some achievements might not make sense in this case.
It is interesting that you bring up possibly including other fields in the Nobel awards, such as engineering and technology. I definitely do support this idea though I think we should be wary of adding too many categories.
Feb 7 2013: Hi Hadar,
You bring up some good points! To address your question, I think that many (arguably, the majority) of Nobel Laureates receive this special recognition well after it is a significant motivation factor for their work. To this end, I would say that Nobel Prizes don't do too much in terms of motivating the recipient. This goes for the prizes in Physics/Medicine/Chemistry more than those of Economics/Peace/Literature, where the awards seem to currently trend towards being used as a political motivation factor (e.g. Barack Obama, the European Union).
However, recognition of that significant work sends an important message to everyone else - not only the scientific/political community, but the global community. Inevitably, those who are honored by such a prestigious award become role models for those who are interested in those given fields. So, even though Nobel Prizes aren't the greatest or best timed motivators for those who were recognized, I think Nobel Prizes have an amazing amount of cultural impact, which is why I find this topic so important. After all, wouldn't you want to merit a Nobel Prize with your future work?Feb 8 2013: Hadar,
I absolutely agree with what you were saying about recognition being an excellent motivator. I feel our society often idolizes people like actors, singers, and athletes, presenting them with various awards and recognition. It is nice to have a prestigious award in other sometimes less publicized fields such as literature or economics. I personally would love to see a Nobel Prize award for Engineering, but you mentioned that we should be wary of adding too many categories. I wonder what could be the drawbacks of creating an award in more fields? Would it lose some of its charm and take away from the honor?
I would disagree with you on one point, I do feel that the Nobel Prize can be a significant motivation factor for the recipient's work. Science and research is done by people who are curious about the way things work and are looking for answers. Gaining a respectable reputation and being recognized for one's work is just as satisfying even if it comes years after the work is done. Every scientist hopes to leave behind a legacy, to make some kinds of difference in the world, to be remembered.
I was very interested in your distinction between prizes in Physics//Medicine/Chemistry and those of Economics/Peace/Literature. Do you think awards in the different fields have different connotations and implications?

Obama gets one 2 weeks after he is office.
Paul Krugman got one, he is a propaganda factory.Feb 7 2013: Barack Obama receives a peace prize before becoming president
and then goes on to sign the NDAA, continue almost every bush-administration policy, vastly increase drone strike use and begin a campaign in Libya without Congressional approval.
Yasser Arafat wins a peace prize because he temporarily stops killing Jews and the Israeli Foreign Minister and Prime Minister also won despite absolutely no improvement in Israeli-Palestinian relations.
Arno Penzias and Robert Woodrow Wilson won Nobel Prizes for accidentally noticing background radiation.
Henry Kissinger received a peace prize despite being directly responsible for some of the worst and most controversial warcrimes throughout the Cold war and Vietnam, among others.
Robert Merton won a Nobel Prize in Economics despite creating flawed software that led to the loss of Billions in the stockmarket.
Al Gore won a Nobel prize despite consistently using more electricity than any of us and owns $250,000 of stock in Occidental Petroleum.
Antonio Moniz won a Nobel for creating a procedure called the labotomy.
I think we can disregard Nobel prizes from now on..
Feb 7 2013: Hi Xavier,
I think you bring up some great points about the questionable nature of some of the Nobels in recent history. It seems that the Peace and Economics prizes tend to be very politically driven (e.g. the Peace Prize given to the EU last year). I'm curious about your thoughts on the more scientific awards, such as Physics and Physiology/Medicine.Feb 7 2013: It is an institution that has not kept up with changes in the world. As you indicate, there are many disciplines that are ignored and some that should be ignored.
The peace prize is a joke, the economics prize should not exist because that is a pseudo-science like alchemy and the fact that only three people can be named on the prize ignores the current way of attacking problems with teams of researchers.
The physical sciences are generally correct in their deliberations in that worthy people get prizes although not all worthy people are recognized.
The peace prize has set the bar so low as to make it irrelevant. Anyone who can give Henry Kissinger a peace prize has his head up his ass or watches too much Fox news (which is the same thing actually)
The economics prize is a bit of self congratulatory fluff by people with no intelligence to people with no intelligence. I pay no attention to that bit of garbage.

You make excellent points regarding the Nobel Prize and its effectiveness and relevance to today's world.
While I agree that there have been (many) and we will continue to see bias and unfairness in the awarding of the prize, it is important to see that the Nobel Prize is just that, a prize. You get a gold medal (literally) and a big bag full of cash (the 2012 sum was ≈$1.2 mil). This is the way Alfred Nobel set it up when he established the prizes in 1895.
You are correct that today engineering and technology might be more relevant than economics and peace as of the 21st century, but certainly the Nobel Prize remains the most esteemed prize in those disciplines.
In response to who should give the prize, Each of the Nobel Prizes are awarded by different committees, the Peace Prize, for example, is not awarded by a Swedish organization but by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.
Whether these organizations are fair/effective should be the worry of Alfred Nobel's family, as it is their name attached to the prizes.
A common theme in the related TEDtalks (Timothy Prestero, Ben Goldacre) is much like my own philosophy about science, and learning in general; Don't work for the prize/grade, work for the personal gratification and study for knowledge.
Feb 12 2013: Hey Avi,
I tend to agree with what you have said here about Nobel Prizes. Yes they are highly regarded in the sectors of work they are awarded in. However, are they really all that important?
I see the prizes as being a motivation to excel in ones field and perhaps stumble upon discoveries. Yet, to me that isn't a very strong driving force for the human population to work towards (besides the grossly large sum of cash.)
I agree that working for personal gratification and knowledge is the most important aspect to ones work. The idea may sound selfish, however I think it is actually a selfless idea. Working for personal gratification and knowledge enables one to naturally stumble upon discoveries to share with the rest of the community.Feb 8 2013: Hey Osaze. Great conversation topic.
A point you raised that I thought was interesting: "We have also seen in history (e.g. Rosalind Franklin) circumstances in which scientists have participated closely with Nobel Prize-winning research, but nonetheless were left unrecognized."
A rule I often think about is that a Nobel prize may not be awarded to more than three people. I think this illustratives your point. (Granted, in many cases the prize would probably not have been awarded due to the race or gender of the person. Your example of Rosalind Franklin comes to mind.) Especially in the sciences, so much of today's work is collaborative and is hard to attribute to just a few people. I think the rule is an artifact from when science was done differently. My understanding is that in the early 20th Century, the scientific community was much smaller and tight-knit, and the nature of what was being researched didn't involve the masses of people that today's sciences do. There was actually an article in Scientific American at the end of last year that discussed this and argued that the 3 winners rule should be dropped. I think I agree with the article. (I think it could be interesting though to discuss the value that there may be in limiting the prize. Perhaps we should be forced to pinpoint the 1-3 people who were most crucial to a discovery or theory.)
I also thought your point about prizes in engineering and the like was interesting, as did many other I see. It does seem a but arbitrary what was decided are the most important fields. This too may be an artifact/result of the when the prize was instituted over 100 years ago.
Aja B.
Feb 7 2013: Are Nobel Prizes overrated by the scientific communities that produce prizewinners, or by the public, or both? And if it's only overrated by the public, is that really a bad thing?
- +2
From "The Road to Stockholm" by István Hargittai:
"From early on the Nobel Prize has been the only science prize recognized by the wider public, and today it enjoys an improbably high prestige. It has a certain aura, and in an age when science and scientists are sometimes viewed with distrust, if not disrespect, the fascination with the Nobel Prize has hardly decreased. The Nobel Prize is overrated by the public, but this is not an unwelcome exaggeration. Science needs icons, since it usually suffers from an image of being impersonal."
Feb 7 2013: Aja,
That's a really good point! It's definitely valid to propose that the hype over Nobel Prizes is in large part due to the reaction it garners from public outlets. I think it's difficult, though, to distribute the public appreciation in a way that is both fair and sensible. For the scientific communities, I would agree that the Nobel Prize serves as an affirmation of significant work done - at least, for the most part. Perhaps the issue of recognition distribution is something of concern in this regard also.Feb 7 2013: Can't say whether it's over or under rated as a whole....but definitely can say my personal feeling that it's not unbiased....
Moreover real winners seldom cares about it......
Feb 7 2013: Hi Salim,
Are you referring to certain Nobel awards or all of them collectively?
Also, I understand that Nobel Laureates tend to take the award in stride and go back to their work, but I think it's also important to keep in mind that the Nobel Prize title remains attached to them and their work indefinitely. Without a doubt, this distinction has an impact on future generations. Do you think this cultural impact is merited?
Feb 8 2013: Hi Osaze
Well when certain cases become doubtful it impacts collectively the whole even if the rest of the whole was not doubtful... that's the case.
I don't disagree that Nobel Prize has got a high Brand Value......which makes not only the person but the whole country / nation from to which the winner belongs feel proud of...
Can you please clarify what you wnated to mean by saying Cultural Impact Being Merited ?Feb 12 2013: I don't know. I kinda like the Nobel prize thing. Perhaps we should ask ourselves, If we are awarded the Nobel Prize, would we accept it? Sometime we should accept notoriety to maintain the spirit of the cause, wither we feel we deserve it or not -keep the ball rolling, as it is.Feb 12 2013: I believe that it is highly unlikely for the Nobel Prize itself to be the main motivation behind the work done by a Prize's receiver. The Nobel Prize is granted on the basis of profound and noble accomplishments that are almost impossible to achieve unless one truly possesses an incredible passion for the field that the work is done in. That is why I believe whoever has received a Noble prize has deserved one, however, not everyone that deserves one has received one.
Kyung Lee
Feb 9 2013: The criteria for determining the value of a scietific research or discovery is not as clear cut because it cannot be quantitavely measured. Your idea made me realize how subjective it is for a select group of people to decide who receives the Nobel prize, and is a scientific research/discovery that has been awarded the Nobel prize more valuable than others? Although I have no idea how they award these prizes, I think it is up to individuals to determine the worth of a scientific work. In this sense, I don't think these prizes tell us anything about the value of a scientific work.Feb 9 2013: The Nobel Prize is rated based on its recipients. Is the Nobel Prize over rated with respect to a Fields Medal? These prizes are on the same level because of those who where awarded the prizes. Distinguished individuals define the prize. The great individuals including Rosalind Franklin define excellence in their field, so the Nobel Prize would have had greater prestige with her name among the recipients. A Fields Medal could have been more distinguished with Perelman and Wiles, who will go down in history as two of the greatest mathematicians of their generation. Wiles was too old to receive the award and Perelman rejected the award. Is the Nobel Prize over rated with respect to the Fundamental Physics Prize? Of course not. None of those recipients have done anything worthy of being mentioned in the same sentence as those who received the Nobel Prize. Field by field, the recipients make the prize over rated or under rated.

Feb 9 2013: Hi Jamahl,
The approach you're using to determine the worth of these prizes is very different from the approaches I have seen thus far. I totally agree that in terms of retrospective analysis the awards we're discussing are given their status as a result of the merits associated with the granting of the award. That being said, I think the reputations of these types of awards end up taking on a life of their own, leading to awardee recognition being a result of award association instead of merit (another example would be the Grammy awards). As was mentioned by one of my colleagues earlier, there's only so much you can do about the "correctness" of the award decisions made - after all, these decisions are made by people.
This wouldn't make a difference if it weren't for the message it sends to the global community and to future generations. I think it's fair to say that many Nobel Laureates get a (often well-deservedly) disproportionate amount of exposure in both public media and in the classroom. Therefore, it's especially important to be careful about the distribution of these awards due to its heavy cultural impact. This leads me to a question for you - do you think the Nobel Prize has too much cultural impact? Or does it perfectly merit its level of prestige in society?
Fritzie -
Feb 7 2013: I think this depends very much on the discipline. I agree that the choices for the Peace prize are suspect. I think the prizes in other disciplines are likely reasonable.Feb 12 2013: I would suggest "The Nobel Prize is not broken, it's fixed!"Feb 12 2013: my dear friends: Do you realize that we can argue about anything? We can justify anything? It is how one justifies the merit that makes things right (nobel price)..... I noticed that the mention of Barak Obama being awarded the prize turns some people off. I can assure you that pages of pro Obama merits can be written. .... you are not going to please all of the people all of the time..... No populus will ever unanimously elect one person for ANY prize.

CheersFeb 10 2013: I agree with Fritzie. The Peace Prize is very suspect. Pats point that "Obama had recieved it 2 weeks after entering office" put a smell to it that rivaled dead fish in the closet. I totally lost interest after that announcement.
Literature, medicine, physics, chemistry, peace, and economics were probally hot rocks in 1901. It would seem a valid request to update the categories to the need of the 21st century. I would probally drop Literature, Peace, and Economics. I would suggest that instead of a panel of swiss that the "Prizes" be awared based on their peers selection and be presented in the peer circle. One meeting to anounce winners gets media ... but peer recognition is the most important. Have the Medical reciepent recieve it at the center where he works with his peers and family in attendence so they can also be recognized.
I ask seniors if they could name this years reciepants ... or any one ever recieving the prize ... who was Nobel ...
The silence was deafening.
Is it overrated no .. it is, in my opinion, under appreciated and in some respects as stated above .. suspect.
My major complaint is that it is a media event not a recognition event.
I wish you well. Bob.Feb 10 2013: The Nobel Prize has no cultural impact, to some extent the individuals who receive the Nobel Prize have some but this might be over rated if you do not consider the dynamics of that impact. The Nobel Peace Prize is given to individuals but behind each of those individuals is a society that should be rewarded for making the cultural and social changes needed for those recipients achievements to exist.
Families, friends, social, educational and religious institutions that are accessible to the average individual is more worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize than those who actually receive the award. No one is self made.
You can say the same thing about scientific achievements. It is easy to reward individuals but recognition comes from the community and ethical peers who acknowledge an individuals contributions. Without that, awards have no depth and we being to idolize accomplishments of individuals rather than appreciating services of the community. How many potential Nobel Prize recipients die everyday because they did not have a society to protect them and develop them?Feb 9 2013: I have lost all respect for the prizes when Obama won one for doing nothingFeb 7 2013: . Nobel Prize is widely regarded as the most prestigious award available in the fields of literature, medicine, physics, chemistry, peace, and economics. Like any award, it is subjective at best especially since they include literature, peace, along with economics.
They are what they areFeb 7 2013: I dont believe they are overrated. there are so many excellent individuals in various fields in the world, and prizes and awards can not do justice to all of them. Someone has to win the awards and it doesn't mean those not awarded are of any less significant. But for someone to be awarded, it could be assumed that they've done something that makes them undeniably deserving of it.Feb 7 2013: Do you have a better idea? Remember that the engineer who invented the integrated cirsuit did will a Nobel
prize. There are other prizes in various fields.
Feb 7 2013: Hi George,
I think one option would be to expand the number of fields for which the Nobel is awarded. After all, it's no longer 1901. Also, I would argue that there are many Nobel Prize-caliber innovations which did not find the same recognition as the integrated circuit because they were less directly linked to the science behind the innovation.
