With the latest version of the Google Android mobile operating system comes privileged access to new features available within. Froyo, or version 2.2, is the anticipated update for all android handsets that brings a wealth of new features and updates to your phone. One such privilege is access to the Android Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) service which promises to bring increased functionality to the applications on your phone.
Chrome to Phone is an application that utilises this service to allow you to instantly send links from your Chrome web browser on your desktop or laptop computer to your phone. There are two parts to using it; a Chrome browser extension (available here) and a mobile application available for the Android Market.
It places a button in the browser window and whenever you want to send a link to your phone, just click the button and it is sent. Instantly, in my experience. It's a very handy feature to have. If you have to go out you can send a link to the website you were reading which is handy to say the least.
Not only is the extension itself exciting but the technology behind it should also give you goosebumps. I'd like to see it implemented into the Facebook application, which compared to its iPhone cousin is rather lackluster.

Despite the wind, rain, and cold, community members, educators, and students came out for the recent Education Community Forum, at the newly constructed San Bernardino Valley College campus (SNVC). They attended classes and workshops for prospective students and for parents (in English & Spanish). They learned about such educational opportunity programs as the "Valley Bound" program, a program designed to pay all expenses for qualified first year enrolled students at SBVC. They were provided the opportunity to meet and talk with many campus and community members who advocate for the educational success of all students.

Key Topic
Renewable Standard Offer
The Tennessee Valley Authority is encouraging small to mid-size renewable energy projects in the TVA service area with its Renewable Standard Offer.
TVA is working to encourage greater use of renewable energy, such as solar, wind and biomass projects, in its service territory. Renewable power purchase plans with a set price, or "standard offer," are used by some states and utilities to promote renewable energy markets. This initiative is designed to accommodate customer renewable energy projects that are too large for the Generation Partners pilot program (for small generators).
Key points
- Developers of mid-size renewable energy projects in the TVA service area can now participate in TVA's Renewable Standard Offer, which offers set prices based on the season and time of day. Long-term contracts of up to 20 years will be offered that could help developers finance their renewable energy projects more easily.
- TVA will accept proposals for renewable projects that are capable of producing between 200 kilowatts and 20 megawatts of electricity. This new initiative will be limited to 100 megawatts, with no single renewable technology exceeding more than 50 percent of the 100-megawatt total.
- TVA has simplified the application process and added a standardized power purchase contract to make participation in the program easier.
- The Renewable Standard Offer will help encourage the growth of the renewable generation industry in the region, promote TVA's economic development goals by helping create new clean-energy jobs, and support TVA's vision for cleaner air and greater energy efficiency.
Other information
- Prices paid to customers for under the Renewable Standard Offer could differ based on factors such as availability during peak electricity demand times. For example, projects that operate more during the day would receive higher average prices because of their potential to provide power during times of greatest need.
- Setting prices for a 20-year contract will provide more certainty to developers and help TVA avoid rising prices for purchased power over time.
- All of the technologies below may participate, but no single technology may exceed 50 percent of the total 100-megawatt limit
- Biomass direct combustion (excluding methane recovery) and/or co-firing (greater than 50 percent biomass)
- Biomass gasification (excluding methane recovery)
- Methane Recovery
- Wind
- Solar

Industrial Biotech: Industry Demands More Ambition from Regulators (with video interview of DSM's Stephan Tanda)
1:40 AM MDT | October 21, 2010 | Alex Scott in Edinburgh

Tanda made the comments in a presentation yesterday at the annual European Forum for Industrial Biotech (EFIB) in Edinburgh, U.K. He says he wants to see legislation that underpins the development of industrial biotech in Europe with a package of incentives and preferred public sourcing programs for products made from...

Nineteen-year-old rookie Scott McLaughlin has performed like a seasoned professional to win his first V8 Supercar race at Albert Park this afternoon, as the MSS Security-backed V8 Supercars Challenge at the 2013 Formula 1 Rolex Australian Grand Prix came to a close.
The New Zealander didn't put a foot wrong in race four as he streaked to a 1.658-second victory over Craig Lowndes, who just got the better of Fabian Coulthard. All three drivers were in Commodores.
McLaughlin won last year's second-tier V8 development title before making the jump to the premier division in 2013, and he's surprised himself by becoming a rookie winner just two meetings in.
"To be in front of guys like Craig and Fabian was great and a little surprising, but I am stoked," McLaughlin. "I just wish the race was for real championship points!"
Coulthard was again the early pacesetter, and still found himself in front after the compulsory sequence of pit stops – but then his challenge to become the first driver to clean sweep a V8 Supercar program at Albert Park in 15 years was stymied when he ran off at turn three, with McLaughlin and Lowndes taking maximum advantage.
David Reynolds (Falcon) was fourth in race four -- just on the bumper of Lowndes -- and he was followed home by Alex Davison (Falcon) and Jamie Whincup (Holden).
Twenty-one drivers completed the 12-lapper, with retirements including Commodore duo Garth Tander and James Courtney, as well as Mark Winterbottom (Falcon), who was caught up as collateral damage when Russell Ingall (Commodore) spun at turn one after the start.
Coulthard was the overall winner across the four races on 225pts, ahead of team-mate Jason Bright (202) and Will Davison (Falcon, 179).

Recipe by Roxanne
"To make Chocolate Lady Fingers, substitute 3/4 cup all-purpose flour plus 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for the all-purpose flour."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

eggs, separated
2/3 cup
white sugar
7/8 cup
all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon
baking powder
After readings some the other reviews, I thought I'd share a couple of little tips I learned from the pastry chef at Joel's (a five star restaurant in Atlanta) to keep ladyfingers from spreading too much when baking. First make sure you've sifted the flour really well before using. Second, keep an eye on the egg whites and don't over-whip them. Third, GENTLY fold the egg yolks into the whites. Again, don't over whip! Finally, place a cookie cutter on the parchment paper or silpat and pipe the mixture into the cookie cutter until it's about halfway full. Lift the cookie cutter up and move it approximately 1 inch away and repeat. You end up with nice round absorbent ladyfingers that are perfect for tiramisu. Hope this helps!
These came out looking wonderful and i sprinkled with sugar as well. However, they are a little too eggy for me. Perhaps that is what homemade lady fingers are supposed to taste like. Have only had the kind from the store--prepackaged. I will try again though and use a little vanilla as i read someone else did. Thanks for the recipe...
199 Ratings
I too was making tiramisu and couldn't find the prepackaged kind so I gave these a try. I didn't have the patience for piping so I just lined a jelly roll pan with greased waxed paper, spread the batter, baked for eight mins and after cooling, cut them into strips. Everyone who tried my tiramisu said that it was the best yet, thanks to the homemade ladyfingers- very nice.
This recipe didn't work perfectly for me - however, I think it was due to the room temp when i was mixing and piping - little too hot - and the fingers spread out and turned out rather gummy. However, I saved a little batter in the fridge; I piped and baked a few fingers the next day and VOILA! Poofy and cakey, as they should be. So if you notice a first panful goes flat, try cooling the batter and trying again later.
Very good the only thing I would suggest is the importance of a bit of vanilla (1/2 tsp) and extracts like almond or lemon to really kick it up a notch.
These cookies were awesome! I found them very easy to make. And I love the fact that they require so few ingredients and such a short baking time. They are very light and airy! I didn't have a problem with them spreading too much, like others did. Although I can say, that they are kind of a thinner cookie, which worked well for my Tiramisu. I'm still not sure about the Tiramisu, but the cookies rocked! I got 38 cookies from this recipe, it may vary for others, as I "piped" them through a plastic bag, and I wasn't very good at getting them all the same size. I did cook them for 7 minutes, instead of 8. I found that the bottoms were nice and brown and the tops were very light. My husband ate like 12 of them with a tall glass of milk before I made my tiramisu! I will definitely use this recipe again and again!
Very nice and light cookies that are excellent for tiramisu. Try Tiramisu III by Kristine.
With these ladyfingers make sure you watch the bottoms for burning. They also tend to spread a bit so don't crowd them.
Perfect! I wasn't able to find ladyfingers at the grocery store for a last-minute tiramisu, but these were so easy and perfect, I will use this recipe from now on! I use wax paper rolled into a cone, fill with the batter, twist the top closed and snip off the tip- couldn't be easier. I piped onto a baking sheet with a Silpat instead of parchment. Thanks for sharing the recipe~~~

UCLA edges ETSU in tiebreaker at Callaway Match Play
Related Links
Tuesday, March 22, 2011
BALL GROUND, Ga. (Mar. 22, 2011) - After splitting the first four matches of the day, top-seeded UCLA won a tiebreaker in the fifth match to slip past the upset minded on the final day of the Callaway Collegiate Match Play Championship.
The Bucs looked to be in good shape with just one match in progress. Freshman Lucas Armstrong (Church Hill, Tenn.) held an advantage over Alex Kim throughout the day. Armstrong was 2-up with two-holes remaining. Kim, however, rallied to win the final two holes to halve the match and force a tiebreaker. After the two players tied on the first hole of the tiebreaker, Kim outlasted Armstrong on the second playoff hole to clinch the victory for the Bruins.
UCLA jumped out to a quick advantage after Gregor Main and Connor Driscoll each picked up victories. However, ETSU rallied to even the match back up after two victories of its own.
Senior Paul O'Kane (Castledawson, Northern Ireland) defeated Patrick Cantlay, 3 and 2, to earn the first victory of the day for the Bucs. O'Kane never trailed during the match. Later, junior Devin Komline (Dorset, Vermont) defeated Mario Clemens in a tightly contested match, 1-up.
The Bucs finished eighth-place in the prestigious 16-team field. No. 10-seeded Duke won the event by defeating No. 4-seeded Illinois in the finals. No. 11-seeded USC defeated 9th-seeded Texas Tech for third place.
The event was comprised of four rounds of match play between teams, similar to the Final Eight of the NCAA Championship. Each team match included individual matches between each of the five players, and the winner of each individual match scored a point for his team.
Georgia Tech was the host school and was joined by USC, Alabama, Baylor, Duke, East Tennessee State, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Pacific, South Carolina, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA and Washington State. Georgia (2005) and UCLA (2007) were past winners of the event while 2010 runner-up USC led a contingent of five teams (Iowa, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, UCLA) returning from last year's tournament.
The Bucs will take some time off from tournament play before returning to action on April 11 when they participate in the Wofford Invitational.

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
So I have been contemplating being a pro at this day and age in the PDGA era, and I have come to some conclusions.
1. We make absolutly no money to support ourselves as the pro payouts are generally terrible.
2. Unless you tour to hit the 'big' events, don't quit your day job.
Why is this? Why is ball golf supporting so many pros and disc golf is not? I have heard the no corporate sponsors bit and agree, but why is this sport so cheap for pros?
What do you think about making the sport cheap for ams and casuals but somehow upping the ante for professionals. Start pay to play at some of the better courses and increasing entry fees substantially at tournaments. If you want to pay 40 bucks to play a tourney, play am, have fun goofing around and make open pro more serious.
What does everyone think?
Views: 118
I know Some Am's who will never turn Pro because they like to Win all the time but complain about the Schwag they get.
SideBets will always be in effect for some as they try to shoot better than their friends.
Raising Entry Fees does not always bring Tallent to each Tournament.
I like Playing Pro because I like playing with Better players and I'm always learning new things.
For myself , It's not about the Money , it's about the Respect !!!
I will never , ever , Cheat and play AM's as it does nothing but lower my expectations of Disc Golf !!!
You will run across somepeople at Tournaments , who is never satisfied with their Playing ability.
I rather not play with complainers.
JUST PLAY GOOD DISC GOLF !!!! Remember , you are playing the course only , not someone else !!!!
There are 17,000 golf courses in America alone with some 27,000,000 golfers paying to play on those courses. Most golf courses have a tremendous overhead and adjust there fees to reflect this. There are very few golf courses that are making a mint for their owner. Most golf courses are owned by larger parent companies that run there courses and management teams pretty thin.
The money in golf is made by the manufacturers of equipment. Taylor made, Callaway, Titelist, etc. These companies invest in there sport heavely and promote themselves on a world wide level. The eqipment is expensive and always changing in aN addictive manner. Golf balls are small, disposable and fly so far you can't even find them and only last a few rounds for the most part, so you have to spend another $10-$50 to reload. All this generates mulltiple billions of dollars that is wisely spent to promote events at all levels to keep the system flowing and growing.
The PGA governing body is machine when it comes to cross promoting with companies even outside of the golf industry. They do a great job of making sure that it's players on all levels are marketable and always are looking for the future of the sport.
There are ,1600+ disc courses in America with who knows how many golfers, mostly playing for free at a park. Most courses have little overhead because they are part of an already exsisting park. There are a handful of courses out there that make money on the pay to play program. Most disc courses are owned by the city or county the park is in; do you want to pay to play at a park that your taxes are already paying to maintain? Most courses owned by cities or counties don't even think about hosting an event to promote the sport, most of that is done by a resident club that has a few members that volunteer time to put on a local tourney.
The money in disc golf is made by the manufacturers of equipment. Discraft, Innova, Latitude 64, etc. These companies invest in their own companies to come out with newer more addictive equipment. Discs for the most part don't get lost, they don't wear out very fast and can be used for hundreds of rounds. It is a multimilliion dollar business that doesn't seem to put up a proprtionate amount of prize money at tournaments to promote the sport. For the most part it looks like disc manufacturers are still stuck in running clinics and coming to larger events to sell its products out of a trailer.
The PDGA governing body is a small machine that seems to happy to stay that way. Who knows what they do to try and get coverage of their events. I am unsure if they know what their demographic is, or maybe they do and are embarassed. They seem to be happy that it is a grass roots kinda sport and are unwilling or unable to bring light to the sport. There are exceptions to all of this, but what is the overall plan and goal of the PDGA, and the manufacturers.
There is no way I could play pro baseball, football, or basketball at this point in my life. Disc golf on the other hand is something that we could all maybe have a shot at. How does that not make this possibly one of the most marketable sports arond. If someone has a better plan, I would be willing to help.
Because there isnt enough following! which in turn means less Manuf. are willing to fork out the money for such low turnouts @ tournaments. If you go to a ball golf Tournament (almost any Professional) you will see tons of people there to watch! Thats not really the case in PDGA, other then maybe two or three of our bigger tournaments!
Also, Ball golf is more appealing to the masses of people, im not sure why, maybe because its been around a lot longer. But give disc golf time, i think they are headed in the right direction. Remember "Rome wasnt built in a day!" LOL
As far as getting bigger purses for the pros, i like Chucks idea! Unfortunately, you maybe throwing into a purse with the likes of Doss/Jenkins/Anthon/Schusterick/ or Klimo.... And i dont think you want to waste your money on that bottomless pit! LOL
Another point not made is that ball golfers are willing not only to watch the events but pay to do so (at least in a live setting). There's so much fewer people who want to watch DG, many of whom wouldn't even pay to play let alone watch. Also, the vast majority of disc golfers probably aren't even aware that there's a Pro Tour let alone 'Big Name Pros'. You couldn't get most people to name a Pro Disc Golfer even if you handed them a Teebird and an Avenger. Sadly, there isn't really much of a market to sell DG in terms of the public watching it.
This issue has been bantered about before. The only 'Pro' I ever heard say he was making "enough money" off Disc Golf related income alone was Avery Jenkins. All others seem to have a real job somewhere or are college students & living at home.
My opinion is that it's just not popular enough yet. A bunch more people (that really like disc golf) are needed! I'm recruiting new people as often as I can.

1 cup
soy sauce
1/2 cup
6 tablespoons
brown sugar
2 tablespoons
dried rosemary, crushed
boneless pork chops
This is so easy and very tasty, my very fussy family even liked it. I added a bit of fresh ginger the second time I made it- awesome!
Looks like my review is in the minority here....but I followed this recipe exactly and although the chops were moist I found the soy made the chops way to salty ( and I'm a salt lover ) and the rosemary was way to over powering for me and my families taste.
120 Ratings
Delicious! I used fresh rosemary and added fresh thyme, along with a clove of minced garlic. Only marinated about 1 hour and it was still wonderful! Will definitely make again!
I was worried about the soy sauce being overpowering, but it wasn't, the pork was so good, and flavorful.
This recipes is delicious. I changed it a bit, I only add a little bit more than half a cup of soy sauce since I didn't have anymore. Besides when using soy sauce I always try not to use the exact amount since to much soy sauce is to salty. Did use the right amount of the other ingredients. I was able to marinate 6 chops. Instead of grilling chops I browned them on the stove top and poured in the remaining marinate. Let them simmer until the marinate became a glaze. They were delicious. Tip eat them warm cause after words they get to dry.
This is a great recipe!! Some folks mentioned it being too salty so I used just a little less than a cup of Low-Sodium soy sauce. I also added 2 cloves of fresh garlic and half of a small onion to the marinade... the cut of pork chop I used was ribeye boneless and it was VERY tender... even hours later when it was reheated!
Quick, Easy, Delicious! I used thinner boneless center chops and grilled them inside on the cast iron gas range top grill (care of Bobby Flay). Even the sometimes picky princess (aka our 13 year old daughter) loved them.
My wife and I made this with bone in chops. We added slightly more brown sugar. It was so delicious we laughed at eachother while after dinner we picked up the bones and tried to nibble the meat off of them. Absolutely delicious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Off an Eccentric Soul compilation by Chicago-based reissue label Numero Group, this track, with a heavy free jazz influence, is as groovy as it is jamming. The 2006 Numero compilation (re-released in 2011 as a double LP with 10 bonus tracks) features rare gems of the obscure Phoenix, AZ soul/funk scene of the '60s and '70s, all produced by Mike Lenaburg for various labels. "Loaded Back," originally released in 1969 on Mighty Records, was re-released in 2004 on a 12" via LA-based Now-Again Records with Liggins' side-project We The People, who are also featured on the Numero compilation. Basically, "Loaded Back" proves that any day is better with some funk flute.

What is time?
Wasting time makes you think what time is... How everything is connected... After long contemplation you realize that time is everything around you! Gravity, matter, space, energy... All of it cooperate together to make time pass.
Actually, why do we even say time? Everything in the universe orbits a bigger object, the Earth and the rest of the planets orbit the sun at different speeds but they all move around the center of the milky way at the same speed. That galaxy floats around some bigger object etc. at some point we will realize that everything in the universe floats through it at a constant rate, then space = time! We all float through this space-time and each second passed can (theoretically) be measured in kilometers if only we had a point of reference (we can't find it as everything we know moves at the same rate). The theory that we can travel through time when reached over-light speeds seems not so realistic to me after tonight. There is something missing, we just accept that everything is relative. Each object in the universe is influenced by a bigger object, but the universe as a whole is influenced by something even bigger and it floats at a constant rate around it...
What do you think?
Rob Freda
Jan 9 2013: An abstraction of physical processes such as the slow creep toward a fully entropic state. Time is a convenient fantasy in any absolute sense. It is wholly dependent on the presence of matter and a change in the state of the matter m. Outside of that context there is no such thing as time per se or at least not the clean linear flow we think about when we say time. Or maYbe not

Ammar Gh
Jan 10 2013: "It is wholly dependent on the presence of matter and a change in the state of the matter" exactly! This is exactly what I have been thinking as well... But since the Big Bang all the matter does is change it's state.

Jan 13 2013: Beautifully said , Mark !
Any attempt to define Time as a ' phenomenon ' that can be distinguished from everything else doomed to fail. Anything that could possibly occur in human mind belongs to Time and to everything, so we can't define anything in this realm. On the other hand, whatever you say what Time is , it may answer :
Yes, it's me . :)
Re : Now the question remains, do you occur as an aspect of that ongoing movement, or does it occur as an aspect of you ;).
I guess both, it's inside out and back or vice versa, no causality here, since no movement ...in usual sense.
I can't language it, can you ?
Comment deleted
Jan 14 2013: We are talking about nothing/everything .... apparently , it's really hard to talk about.
Actually, not possible at all .
Thank you for the effort ! :)
Barry Palmer
Jan 9 2013: It seems that the consensus in this conversation is that time is just a unit of measure, and has no physical existence. It is just a man made concept that helps us communicate and make sense of events. I came to that same conclusion a few years ago. (Apparently I am slower than many of you.)
- +1
I have read a bit about the Theory of Relativity, but I find the mathematics to be beyond my skills. What I read is that, within Relativity, time is considered the fourth dimension within a four dimensional space-time. I remember enough about the mathematics of multiple dimensions to understand that treating time as a fourth dimension restricts the equations and the treatment of time within the theory. It seems to me that this could be a major flaw in the Theory of Relativity. If not a flaw, perhaps just an unnecessary restriction. Treating time as a separate concept could improve the theory, perhaps removing some of the apparent paradoxes that result from the mathematics.
Manoj Mistry
Jan 9 2013: Time is a human construct based on our fear of the unknown - that unknown being death. Without the concept of death, the construct of time becomes meaningless.

I need tons of words to explain why i agree with your ' definition', but the short response is Yes.
Mark Kurtz
Jan 8 2013: Does this make sense to you:
- +1
"Time is the stream of flowing temporal events perceived by creature consciousness. Time is a name given to the succession-arrangement whereby events are recognized and segregated. The universe of space is a time-related phenomenon as it is viewed from any interior position outside of the fixed abode of Paradise. The motion of time is only revealed in relation to something which does not move in space as a time phenomenon. "
Seems to harmonize with your definitions.Jan 8 2013: The great physicist John Wheeler supposedly coined the phrase,
"time was invented so that everything wouldn't happen at once."
Well, everything is happening at once, every where in the universe and there is room enough for it all to happen.
The British physicist Julian Barbour, proposed his pet theory that time doesn't really exist (actually some decades ago), and if I recall correctly, a young New Zealander in, oh, maybe 2002-2004 was able to write the first mathematical equation proving it. Something Barbour was working on but was unable to successfully write himself.
Here's a bit about it:
"He argues that we have no evidence of the past other than our memory of it, and no evidence of the future other than our belief in it. "Change merely creates an illusion of time, with each individual moment existing in its own right, complete and whole." He calls these moments "Nows". It is all an illusion: there is no motion and no change. He argues that the illusion of time is what we interpret through what he calls "time capsules," which are "any fixed pattern that creates or encodes the appearance of motion, change or history."
Barbour's theory goes further in scepticism than the block universe theory, since it denies not only the passage of time, but the existence of an external dimension of time. Physics orders "Nows" by their inherent similarity to each other. That ordering is what we conventionally call a time ordering, but does not come about from "Nows" occurring at specific times, since they do not occur, nor does it come about from their existing unchangingly along the time-axis of a block universe, but it is rather derived from their actual content."
Jan 9 2013: Of course Time does not exist. Neither do inches or kilograms exist. They are units of measure.
Gail .
Jan 8 2013: What is time? That was the most interesting question and search that I have had in my life. In fact, my perceived world and thus my life changed dramatically for the better when I found the answer to that question.

Conventional assessment says that time is like a parade, marching ever forward, but the evidence disagrees with that in so many ways. For me, the most profound difference is this:
If there was a Big Bang (the singularity explosively expanded allowing its component parts to be known/experienced) then all that is, is entangled. What is entangled?
If you take a photon and split it in two, you make two smaller photons. Send each of those photons along different courses (in a box using mirrors) and reunite them at the end. The reunited photon has two very different pasts at the same "time".
When you split a photon, the parts are entangled. This means that each of the parts are still part of a greater, unseen whole, whose "frame" of time is so dissimilar to that which most accept as legitimate that it often makes little sense to people. As the two entangled photons are traveling along their assigned paths in the box, the unseen photon that is in superposition is experiencing both photon's experiences as happening "now". It's present includes more than one present. Its past - more than one past. From it's point of view, that makes utmost sense. If you are one of the photons, it makes no sense at all - if you have been "taught" that there are no such things as probable pasts, presents, and futures.
Extend this thought a little. Consider the Twin Slit Experiment (TWD). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ElSXo1HWS4
Rather than having intents/observation collapse the wave function, consider that the wave pattern announces probable or potential futures that the photon(s) chooses from. (This assumes that the photon is sentient - and if all are entangled and the singularity is sentient - as I believe it is/was - then it is).
Out of space. sorry
Jan 9 2013: You speak of photons as if they were observable objects which have been isolated, experimented upon, split, measured, and proven to be capable of making choices. None of that is so. I guess you are speaking hypothetically?
Jan 9 2013: Because photons can be measured, they can be observed. As to inserting sentience, there is no way that I know of to test for that (yet), but if the Big Bang occurred, then all are entangled. If I am sentient, and I am entangled, then it only makes sense that you are sentient and the unseen whole(s) is/are sentient.
The splitting of photons is common practice in experiments. Same with electrons. Even a C60 molecule has been tested in the Twin Slit experiment. (the largest molecule so far) So no, I'm not speaking hypothetically. If my experience (as an entangled "being") is part of a greater experience of "now", then the greater "now" includes my sentience.
There are a host of scientific experiments that include splitting of sub-atomic particles. The photon in the box with mirrors is one of the least important, but it is used to substantiate the knowledge garnered from the Twin Slit Experiments and Bell's Inequality experiment and the mathematical theorem (Schroedinger's) upon which the Schroedinger's Cat thought experiment was derived.
It is because of experiments that a majority (though not all) quantum physicists are asking if they have found god (the god equivalent). Its exquisitely logical and simple compared to what conventional assumptions are today.
Jan 9 2013: Would you please support your assertion that "a majority of quantum physicists are asking if they have found god?" I interpret your use of the term "quantum physicist" to refer to people with professional training who do research in that field. If you mean something else, could you clarify that as well?Jan 9 2013: A photon is energy which, of course, has no mass. How do we split energy? How do we observe energy? We can observe, measure, experiment on, and predict, the effects of photons, but the photons themselves cannot be isolated, measured, split, and cataloged like butterflys. Also, as Heisenberg said, what we observe when manipulating photons varies with the method used to manipulate them. We cannot document their actions by watching from afar because watching them alters their actions. Do you disagree with this explanation, or do you ignore it?Jan 12 2013: The experts don't all agree.
"The question "What is your favourite interpretation of quantum mechanics?" had 12 possible answers. The most popular answer was the Copenhagen interpretation with 42 per cent but 18 per cent chose the many-worlds interpretation. 21 per cent admitted to having switched their interpretation several times with one respondent writing that he sometimes switched interpretations several times a day. "
http://www.technologyreview.com/view/509691/poll-reveals-quantum-physicists-disagreement-about-the-nature-of-reality/Jan 10 2013: Photons are both particle and waves. If you work with the particle, it can be split. Nearly two years ago, photons were split into three parts (rather than two) for the first time. The experiments referred to in previous posts are actual experiments.
Heisenberg was at the forefront of quantum physics, but so much has been learned since then! What we have learned in the last two decades is nothing short of stupendous.
Jan 10 2013: Ah, but for one word we mostly agree. That word is "learned", which signifies accumulation of truth. In the last two decades we have "conceived" new theories and conducted actual experiments giving us new POSSIBLE explanations for our universe, not necessarily truth. You reject Heisenberg's Principle? Alas, Time is simply the unit of measure for change. Change cannot be defined or described without Time. Thanks for the link.Jan 10 2013: This is true, and what scientists will likely learn within the next few years as the Large Hadron Collider ramps up to full energy may be even more so.Jan 10 2013: No - learned has to do with FACTS - not with interpretations of them or theories developed as a result of them. So I repeat - what we have LEARNED is nothing short of stupendous
Jan 10 2013: BAM! We run into that wall of disagreement about what parts of science are fact-based and what parts are theory. Too many folks categorize virtually everything science says as fact. Evolution; Big Bang; Dark matter; Higgs Boson; Super symmetry; String THEORY; etc. It may be that future discoveries will render some, or all of these false. They exist now as possible explanations of our universe, not as natural laws/proven facts. Time is the unit of measure of material change.Jan 11 2013: I don't see the disagreement you see. If I say that a photon was split and each part sent along fiber optic cables in different directions, and the spin of one photon was changed causing the other photon to instantaneously change it's spin, that is a FACT because it is easily repeatable. Parts of what that fact means is a subject that can be debated, because the meaning - such as the Big Bang THEORY, String THEORY - are not facts. They are extrapolations from facts. But if you ask how one photon miles and miles away from its entangled photon can know in zero time that the other's spin was mechanicallly changed, certain explanations are rationally supported by the facts, thus they are the most probable explanations and legitimate grounds for a new theory and/or legitimate supporting evidence for other theories. If you add different facts from totally different experiments, and all show the same type of behavior, and the same most probable explanation, the theory grows - just as evolution grew into a theory which is the most probable explanation "at present". (I happen to think that the Theory of Evolution is incomplete, but I agree that it is the most reasonable explanation so far, and I think that if more evidence comes out of QM, the day MAY come when that theory becomes a law.
Jan 11 2013: Well said sir. However, the photon is thought to have the feature of exhibiting a high-level and a low-level of energy within itself. The two levels have been separated in the experiments of which you speak, but it is always a "single photon" being acted upon by a force through a distance, not unlike gravity or magnetism. Iron filings are not proven to be sentient by responding to a magnet.Jan 13 2013: Actually, for a photon traveling at the speed of light, the passage of time has no reality. In the "life" of a photon, all events happen at once and all distances shrink to zero.
But i love your metaphoric description; it sounds like, one Being is experiencing different states of becomings at Now.
I am not sure that what i like is exactly what you meant :)
Gail .
Jan 13 2013: Of course, a photon experiences only the present, but if, just for the sake of argument) after you split a photon, and the two parts go in different directions, and one side of the box is red while the other side of the box is green, the analogy remains the same. The super-positioned observer would experience white because red and green (that are compliments to one another) = white and - if it could remember - would remember its own component parts experiences as its self.

What worldview/explanation do you like?
Jan 14 2013: I don't define my worldview, don't think i should.
" Time is the theater of God's becoming "
It speaks volumes to me... i have nothing to add or alter.Your picture is somehow 'in tune', the instrument is different, but the melody is pretty much the same.Jan 10 2013: Dear Ammar,
You probably know that there have been other discussions about "what is time" on TED? It's always interesting:>)
I agree with you...everything is connected, and after "long contemplation", we can come up with all kinds of perspectives, depending on what "time" means to us as individuals?
Time is a human construct, which seems to have been created to organize us (humans) within the earth experience. I suggest that in other forms, the same concept of "time" does not exist, and perhaps we can transcend "time" as we know it. What do you think?Jan 8 2013: " TIME is the moving image of eternity "
It sounds poetically beautiful and is quite accurate, i think.
Jan 8 2013: It is relative and the consequence of the existence and behavior of matter.
Jan 9 2013: With that definition what would Time do if matter exhibited no behavior, that is if all matter came to rest and nothing ever moved, grew, shrunk, rusted, rotted, breathed, or underwent any change whatsoever?
Jan 9 2013: I probably had not business making the comment. I am not a physicist, but try to better understand what's been learned and apply it to what I think best describes the concept of time. I do think time is best understood from the point of view of physics. There are four basic forces in physics associated with particles. Electromagnetism, strong interaction, weak interaction and gravitation. It is this fundamental interaction of particles is what I meant by behavior of matter in my description of time.
The gravitational force is associated with the attraction between a planet and the sun, a moon and a planet. It is that attraction and the dynamics of that attraction that create the cycles of day and night, seasons, the period of a year, etc., and consequently both a sense and reality of time.
I hope physicists aren't cringing with this explanation. I don't know to what extent the other forces are involved with time other than they are fundamental to the dynamic existence of matter.
Jan 9 2013: You have every right to make comments here. Curiosity, interest, and a desire to understand what has been learned are all you need to discuss such questions as this. PhD's are for those who want to ponder such things 24/7. Anyway, do you think Time would be irrelevant if all four of the forces ceased to operate? In other words if the universe was just a bunch of inert, inactive matter where nothing ever changed, would Time have a purpose? That's my question.

Jan 9 2013: Don't worry, Dan. Most people who speculate about physics in TED conversations are not scientists either. Everyone is welcome to think aloud.

It is best to consider expositions and claims about science in the Conversations to be lay expositions (or even sometimes pseudoscience) that would need to be confirmed by looking at expert sources.Jan 9 2013: Actually ,the notion that physics is in some fundamental sense `timeless' has been widely accepted.
"Time exists merely as a parameter for gauging the interval between events."
At Planck length our notions of `before' and `after' is meaningless.
"At Planck length, all geometric concepts break down, including connectedness, containment, locality, and especially order..."
My point is: in some sense, our notion/ experience of Time is actually not there...Jan 10 2013: Hi Edward.
Let me try to respond to your followup question.
It is only in the contraction of matter within the concept of a black hole where these forces of particle physics are described as disappearing or breaking down. In this environment time ceases to exist only to begin again upon the re-expansion of this matter and the return of these forces. That is why time seems to me to be a consequence to the behavior or formation of matter, in addition to being relative as investigated and explained by Albert Einstein.
Physics tells us we don't have a choice as to matter existing as inert, or inactive without these four forces with the exception of the formation of a black hole where these forces cease to exist. By this logic time does not have a purpose, but is simply a consequence of the expansive reformation of this matter.
The mystery of what constitutes nothingness and time is intriguing to me. If the black hole is timeless in the midst of ultimate particle concentrate is it possible nothingness "exist" in this raw form of this material just as in the realm of deep space there is a "nothingness" quality that is also timeless?
Sorry for entering the Twilight Zone!
What do you think?
Jan 10 2013: Well sir, I have survived longer than usual in this debate, but I have now become lost. I will stay on terra firma where my understanding allows me to feel safe. Where Time is simply a way to measure material change. Black holes; event horizons; the Blandford-Znajek Process; that stuff I don't get. So, I can neither refute nor support your observations in the Twilight Zone. But I enjoy following the debate. Time marches on; waits for no man; and heals all wounds. Be well sir.Jan 10 2013: Hi Edward,
Thanks for your time!! I don't think you are anymore lost than I am. The science of physics can be so beautifully exacting and satisfying in some areas, yet I'm willing to admit my wheels fall off when it comes to grasping the physics of this more elusive stuff such as time, but it's still fun to explore. Good day.Jan 12 2013: The measurement problem: (P) If a quantity Q is measured in system S at time t then Q has a particular value in S at t.[1]

QUANTUM MECHANICS and MANY-BODY PHYSICS
I am interested in the quantum many-body problem: given a large number of quantum mechanical degrees of freedom and a detailed description of their interactions, can we predict their emergent, collective behavior? This question is relevant to a number of research areas, including condensed matter, statistical mechanics, quantum information/computation, quantum chemistry, string theory and quantum gravity.
THE RENORMALIZATION GROUP and ENTANGLEMENT.-- A particular route to addressing this problem is the renormalization group (RG). The goal of the RG is to produce a sequence of effective descriptions of the system, corresponding to increasing length scales, and see how these effective descriptions eventually converge to some fixed point that can be properly characterized. On the other hand, in recent years our understanding of many-body wave-functions has been significantly enriched by the study of their entanglement. For instance, we have learned that in most ground states of local Hamiltonians, entanglement entropy obeys a boundary law (with, at most, logarithmic corrections).
TENSOR NETWORKS.--The multi-scale entanglement renormalization ansatz (MERA) is a modern realization of the RG ideas for quantum systems on a lattice. The MERA is a tensor network that exploits the spatial structure of entanglement to produce an efficient (i.e., computationally tractable) description of ground states. Thanks to its in-built RG flow, the MERA also produces effective descriptions that explicitly identify the degrees of freedom of a many-body system relevant at low energies. Thus, it provides both a computational tool to solve specific many-body problems as well as a natural framework to investigate emergence in quantum systems. More generally, I am interested in other tensor network states, such as matrix product states (MPS) and projected entangled-pair states (PEPS), and their use to classify possible phases of matter.
COLLECTIVE PHENOMENA.--In addition, I also apply tensor network algorithms to learn about new physics. Specifically, I study lattice models (e.g. of frustrated antiferromagnets, interacting fermions, quantum critical system) and aim at characterizing their emergent quantum phenomena (e.g. topological order, high-Tc superconductivity, quantum phase transitions, etc). More broadly, I am also interested in the potential application of these non-perturbative tools to quantum field theories and to quantum gravity.

My research interests fall into several broad categories: American studies, cultural studies, queer studies, critical race studies, and interdisciplinary and public scholarship. My first book, Sentimental Bodies: Sex, Gender, and Citizenship in the Early Republic (Princeton UP), focused on the intersection of these fields in the specific context of the late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century United States. In 2007, I co-edited (with Glenn Hendler) Keywords for American Cultural Studies (NYU Press) and co-developed an interactive website that extends its inquiries: Keywords for American Cultural Studies. An update of this book is in progress. My current scholarship expands on this research in various ways. I am working on two books: Sex, Panic, Nation (University of Chicago Press) and New Formations of Cultural Studies: Collaboration, Practice, Research.
At the UW, I have co-directed or developed a number of collaborations and lecture series: "Thinking Sex in Transnational Times" in 2002-2003 (with Chandan Reddy); "Placing the Humanities: New Locations, New Meanings" in 2004-2005 and the "Cultural Studies Praxis Collective" in 2005-2008 (with Kanta Kochhar-Lindgren); the Simpson Center for the Humanities' week-long "Institute in the Public Humanities for Doctoral Students in 2005-2009 and "Platforms for Public Scholarship" in 2009-2010 (with Miriam Bartha); and the "Project for Interdisciplinary Pedagogy" beginning in 2004 (with Martha Groom and David Goldstein) beginning in 2004. I also serve on the Press Committee of the University of Washington Press. I currently co-direct the UW graduate Certificate in Public Scholarship.
Beyond the UW, I serve on the advisory and editorial boards of three journals, American Quarterly, American Literary History, and Lateral: A Journal of the Cultural Studies Association.

Dear Aisha and David – I am a 22-year-old woman with type 1, on a pump. I've only had one real boyfriend, and we broke up two months ago. He said that my diabetes didn't have anything to do with it, but I'm not sure. I think that the lows scared him. Sex with him was good, but I don't have much to compare it with.
I guess I am nervous about dating. I don't know how to bring up the subject of diabetes, and I'm afraid that my pump will scare guys away. I thought about looking for guys with diabetes, but only one or two seem to come to my pump group. What should I do?
Looking For Love
Dear LFL,
There is no doubt that you will be able to find a good man. Although some guys may be put off by diabetes, many others will find it no problem at all.
In addition to looking within your support group, you might find men with diabetes through your endo's office, with a personal ad, on a social networking site like tudiabetes, or just by passing the word. The good thing about a partner with diabetes is that he will understand what you are going through and know how to help. The rough thing is that he may have too many of his own problems to be supportive of yours. You will have to decide on an individual basis whether it would work. Readers, what have been your experiences with this?
You also might want to consider the genetic risk of having children with a man who also has type 1 diabetes. When only one parent has the disease, the risk of passing it on to a child is about two to five percent. The risk of passing on the disease when both parents have type 1, however, hasn't been well assessed. "Experts" have estimated that the probability ranges from 10 to 15 percent all the way to 30 to 50 percent. But those numbers seem to be educated guesses. There probably aren't enough kids in that situation to know for sure.
In any case, there's no need to limit your selection to men with diabetes. When dating people who are ignorant of diabetes, when and how to tell them about it is always an important decision. There's no sense in waiting too long: Why waste your time with someone who's going to run off? But we think that telling a man on the first date may be too soon. You want to give him time to find out how wonderful you are first. So the second or third date is good. Of course, that means no sex on the first date, which is probably a good thing.
How to tell your prospective partner about your diabetes is another good question. There was a helpful discussion of this on DiabetesMine a couple of years ago. A woman named Kelsey wrote, "I think people will be comfortable with learning about the disease if the person with diabetes displays confidence in talking about it." Anne wrote, "I usually mention it the first or second date in a matter-of-fact way. If it's going to scare someone off, fine… I'll find someone else!"
So, be matter-of-fact and confident. Remember, most guys don't want to know all about diabetes. What they really want to know is how it will affect them. Ask them what they want to know. Answer all their questions honestly, and if you don't know the answers, you can find out or refer them to an online resource.
Some people report that one thing that can push potential partners away is dealing with lows. We would be interested in hearing what other readers think about this issue. Is it worth running a little higher glucose on the first couple of dates to avoid the risk of running low with a new romantic interest? It might also be good if the first date were something other than a big dinner, when you have to be thinking about boluses, carbs, and checking sugars. Maybe do something active like a hike or a museum trip, where you'll get a chance to talk. If you do need to check your glucose, you might also your date whether he would prefer to watch you do it or would rather take a short walk instead.
Potential partners will be interested in any sexual effects of diabetes. You could tell them you'll show them when the time is right, or you could just tell them the truth, that you have experienced no sexual effects.
Should you keep your pump on during sex? Here's what Janis Roszler and Donna Rice, authors of Sex and Diabetes, have to say about it: "Some people find that removing the pump frees them to respond more enthusiastically during [sex]. A pump can be safely removed for about 45 minutes to an hour. Others leave the pump on and just move it out of the way. If you remove your pump, check your blood glucose level when you reconnect the pump and take a correction dose as needed. If a pump is accidentally pulled out during sexual activity, it isn't harmful, even if some blood appears at the infusion site."
Remember that 80 percent of finding a partner is making yourself available. Have confidence, and good luck!
A diabetes educator named Lynn called us about a young man with type 1 who wound up in the ER with near-fatal low blood pressure after taking 14 Viagras. He was later found to have almost no testosterone in his blood. Lynn asked us to pass on the information that all the Viagra in the world will not get a man hard if his testosterone is too low. So before starting on medications, men with erection problems should always insist on a testosterone check. There are many prescription testosterone supplements, and they are very safe.

Sauber will start the 2013 season with two new drivers, but Nico Hulkenberg is confident it won't be a stumbling block for the team.
Former Force India man Hulkenberg has replaced Sergio Perez, who left for McLaren, while the more experienced Kamui Kobayashi made way for rookie Esteban Gutierrez at the Hinwil squad.
With everything "new" at Sauber this year, there have been suggestions that it could take them a while to get going again, however, Hulkenberg feels it won't be a handicap.
"I don't see any deficit to be honest," he told the official Formula One website.
"Indeed I am new in the team, but not new in F1, and Esteban has gained experience as a test driver with Sauber so he is not new to them. I would say there is no deficit, but rather the chance to make good acquaintances."
Although this will only be his third full season in Formula One, the 25-year-old will be the senior partner at Sauber.
"The fact that people are regarding me as the team leader doesn't change much," he said.
"At the Sauber F1 team both drivers get the same equipment and treatment. I will just work harder together with Esteban to bring the team forward."
Sauber finished an impressive sixth in the Constructors' Championship last season with four podiums and will no doubt be eager to kick on this season.
"I want to build on the good basis they had last year and keep working hard from there," Hulkenberg said.
"Of course I am looking for good results - in that sense the team and I are already looking for the same thing. It's a new season so we have to wait and see how things pan out and how strong our package is on the track."
