NFL 2011 Season – Week Four Preview
The 2011 NFL season has been unpredictable thus far. After three weeks, a team that missed the playoffs in 2010 is at the top, or tied for the lead, in every division in both the AFC and NFC. Week Four brings new tests for the three undefeated teams in Detroit, Buffalo and Green Bay and new opportunities for those squads looking for their first wins.

I was lucky enough to take part in the 22nd Annual Cycle Messenger World Championships this past weekend in Mexico City, Mexico!
- Hundreds of cycle couriers from around the world gathered for this most epic event. I want to say a Big Thank You to the CMWC Mexico team and all the wonderful people who volunteered and worked so hard to pull it off!I got in on the same flight with four other NY'ers on Thursday afternoon. Proud to say our city rolled deep with 15 total!


text: Get crazy with gay blowjob videos that receive a lot of views. You will not regret watching SpankWire high quality movies with lots of gay sex. See a blow job with a head being pushed deeply in and out of a big long thick cock. These twinks never stop fucking with lots of cum, jizz, drool and spit. Enjoy watching blow job video clips that you've always wanted to watch. You will probably like them because hundreds of thousands of other users watched the videos, as well. Take a look at deep throat videos where a cock is pushed very deeply inside the throat. Sometimes a man gags and throws up on a dick. The gay fucking gets interesting when two men suck each other's cocks at the same time in a 69 fucking position. Have a look at how a man gets sucked between spread legs while he is lying down and while he is sitting down.

Ana recently gave a short interview to Wine & Fine about what she likes to see and do when she's in Belgrade. The following is a translated transcript of the interview:
Being in which part of the city makes you feels special?
I grew up in New Belgrade and for me walking along the Danube river is always something special. Depending of the time of a day, you can find there some quiet places next to the river, places to go for a run or bike ride, but also many nice restaurants always full of people, ideal for cheerful moments with friends.
What do enjoy doing in Belgrade and what are you proud of?
In Belgrade people enjoy gathering with friends and they are always up for some fun! Afternoon coffee is a must and if you have it with friends in one of your favourite restaurants or cofee shops, even better. I am proud of our traditional hospitality and easy-going and open mentality.
What Belgrade events inspire you?
If I am in Belgrade at the time of the Book Fair or "Night of Museums" I will certainly go there and enjoy it very much. Beside the usual offerings, those events always bring interesting and unique happenings.
Best of the best? (club, restaurant, disco or place of your choice...)
Belgrade has many excellent restaurants and clubs. As I am not often in Belgrade, my friends often make a surprise for me and take me to some new place where we can listen to good music and have fun.

Jack and Meg White's incestuous popularity really took off with 2001's 'White Blood Cells'. They were launched as brother and sister in 1999 for their self-titled debut album, two months after Meg had taken up drums. The pair deny ever being married to each other. Where did we get that idea from? Oh, probably just the divorce papers.

They had a box of this at my work. I tried it and am totally hooked. I am not a big tea drinker, but could drink this all day long. I LOVE IT! It is suggested to drink with milk and sugar, but I think that would ruin the exquisite taste for me.

I recently received a thank you gift from a cousins baby shower. It was a little tea set with 1 Masala Chai Tea Bag. I decided to try the Tea with Milk and fell in love with the taste, it was so tasty and smooth. I finally purchased my first bag. YUM!!

Peet's Masala Chai is the best I've had, so aromatic and tasty! I noticed more woodsy bark pieces in my latest shipment. I'm guessing it''s from the cardamon pod. I've been drinking Peet's Masala Chai for several years, and it''s always incredible, but this is the best yet! Keep up the good work! Yeah! Marsha from Lambertville, NJ.

This is the only chai tea bag I've found that actually tastes like real Indian chai. Spicy and complex...not like the powdered junk they serve in coffee shops.

This conversation is closed.
To revolutionize both math and physics by the grassroots popularization of a new quantitative tool which is introduced below.
We start with the Law of the Excluded Middle. Consider it's complement and call this new law the Law of the Exclusive Middle. Let these two laws be equivalent. You now have something similar to Fuzzy Math, but it is very different. These two laws are connected by equivalence which is very different than Fuzzy Math.
Next consider Descartes "I think therefore I am". We reverse engineer this into a statement which reflects our foundation (above), to derive "Maybe I think therefore maybe I am". We keep both of these statements and set them as equivalent.
We then proceed to all of the standard tools of mathematics which are used for the analytic quantification of magnitudes. In math, things are said to exist. In our new system things are regarded as "maybe existing". We keep both of these tools and regard them as being equivalent. We will call one of them Mathematics, and the other should be called something like Conjectural Modeling to reflect that it is based entirely on absolute indeterminacy.
We now have a quantitative tool which is split down the middle, essentially a kind of mirror image. On one side, absolute determinacy. On the other side, absolute indeterminacy. Both sides held together by equivalence.
We now have a tool which is capable of addressing both the equivalence inherent to relativity, and the indeterminacy which is inherent to Quantum Mechanics.
We can write correct and accurate quantitative models using either system. In fact, for every possible question there should be two solutions. One based on determinacy, and the other based on randomness. These two answers are equivalent. As an example, whether I know with absolute certainty that I have 10 dollars, this is quantitatively identical to not knowing but "expecting" that I have 10 dollars where 10 is an expected value instead of a value known with absolute certainty.
I have many examples and a lot of math to reinforce these views. I am convinced that this solution is extremely important.
Sep 30 2012: Looks like Godel used modal logic to make some proofs of things.
But yeah, it seems like a tool for studying logic through semantics. I'm quite shocked to find the use of equivalence here, instead of so many other places where it should be used for example in math and physics.
If we say that the excluded middle is equivalent to the exclusive middle, it's easy to derive that random and non-random are equivalent. This equivalence would be present in the mathematical models, and would also be assumed to apply to physical reality. I have many good examples to support this, and the more I search for counterexamples it seems that all I can find is more compelling reasons to support it.
To say that "random and nonrandom are equivalent" is a statement which begs a lot of justification. I have that justification in the form of highly credible examples and some very solid mathematics. It is all really very simple, nothing complex whatsoever. A child could understand my argument.
And, it almost sounds absurd to say that random and nonrandom are equivalent. But the numbers dont lie. Think of how absurd it seems to say that different frames of reference are equivalent. Yet we know that Relativity is indeed correct.
If you start with equivalence at LEM, Law of Identity and Law of Noncontradiction, then all of these results follow and I believe that Relativity itself can be explained in terms of these first principles. So, if true, this would be a very big deal. I simply cannot do it alone. I need to share the idea wherever possible and elicit as much high quality criticism as possible, and if it is wrong then so be it, but if it's right then mankind gets a great big birthday gift.
Sep 30 2012: I'm not quite following you but perhaps other people can.
I will remain sceptical for now.
On the topic of random numbers being not random... perhaps read into deterministic automata (theory behind computers). It basically shows that 'random' doesn't exist within computers.
This doesn't really claim anything about the real world though unless you believe that people do not have free will etc. (aka everything in the universe is deterministic aka everything was already determined at the big bang or before... well whenever it started, it could be infinity ago).
But I see that someone else has already said things about this...
Sep 30 2012: Law of Excluded Middle says you can only have truth values 0 and 1.
Law of Exclusive Middle says there is no 0, there is no 1, all truth values must fall on the open interval (0, 1) noninclusive.
Consider that 0.999... = 1. Consider 0.999... as a magnitude of truth, or an expected magnitude.
For anything which is true, we can [a] be certain of it's truth with a certainty of 1, or [b] we can be uncertain of this truth with magnitude 0.999... . Quantitatively they are indistinguishable because .999... = 1. The only difference being qualitative. In one case we are certain, in the other we are uncertain.
Certainty and uncertainty are equivalent in this example. We can easily generalize this and make lots of examples.Sep 30 2012: Thank you for that suggestion !! I actually did find something which sounds a lot like what I've been claiming.
Quoting Wikipedia's article on Modal Logic
"Likewise, a prefixed "diamond" () denotes "possibly p". Regardless of notation, each of these operators is definable in terms of the other:
[square p] (necessarily p) is equivalent to [not diamond not p] ("not possible that not-p")
[diamond p] (possibly p) is equivalent to [not square not p] ("not necessarily not-p")"
This is strikingly similar to what I have been proposing. The only differences I can see (at this point) is that modal logic is typically used in epistemology and I dont know whather this has been applied to physics as of yet. It is possible, but I need to search for that in the literature.
The other main difference I can see is that I am creating a very robust analogy to probablity theory. There may be a bridge from modal logic to probability theory, but Im not aware of it. More research needed on my end. Additionally, in my view the Law of Excluded Middle is just a model of existence. While modal logic seems to be more concerned with semantics or epistemology, my approach explicitly looks at tangible things. Law of Excluded Middle is one model, the Exclusive Middle is another model. Fuzzy logic combines them into a cohesive theory, while I would let them stand apart and simply say that they are equivalent.
Thanks for that excellent comment and I'll have to research whether this has ever been applied in physics or math. I think that it should be. It seems very near to what Ive been arguing, there is an application of equivalence, but did they ever connect the dots to relativity ? I kind of doubt that. I think it's worth a look.
Sep 30 2012: Hi there William,
I've had a course in this on my university but I was pretty bad at it. The field of model logic is used a bit in the artificial intelligence for computer scientists. I'll try to help you out by saying what I know about it.
There are lots of proofs based upon these axioms. I've had to go through them all at some point in time. The language itself is "sound" and "complete" (although I don't quite remember what they mean heheh... there are proofs of it though).
I know that there have been some (not that many) papers about introducing probability theory but I don't believe they resulted in a lot. Basically there are 2 ways of adding probability.
1) just give chances to the diamond and then use math from there (aka you add in rules for multiply, add, substract etc)
2) you make a model where 'worlds' are 'reachable' where each 'world' represents a combination of facts (aka p, q, x where in world 1 (p v q) is true while in world 2 this is not the case). Then you can add facts of "the real world" which then falsifies a whole bunch of theoretical ones and you simply remove them. Then probability would be "from all current worlds which I deem possible, how many different worlds can I reach".
This is the most used way I think... it's kinda hard to explain in just 1 post ;)
I'm not gonna explain everything about modal logic here though as I'm not a great teacher nor do I know everything of it myself. But it's nice that it sounds very close to your idea.
As it's application in physics... I don't know that it has been. As far as I know it's a purely mathematical/logics field.
I have a book of it called "Epistemic Logic for AI and Computer Science" by J.J.Ch. Meyer and W. van der Hoek. It contains all proofs and quite a few theoretical examples of other types of logics.Sep 30 2012: Your first paragraph is not completely clear to me. Do you want to have
|- (p v not(p))
and also
|- not( p v not(p))
Being the same thing? Because that is contradictory right off the bat.
What I do however think you want to say (reading the other paragraphs) is that you want to introduce the logical box and logical diamond from Modal Logic.
Perhaps you should take a look at modal logic and tell me if that is what you mean or how your idea differs from it.Sep 29 2012: 1 minus x does not equal 1 (1-x =/= 1) It equals 1-x, no matter what number x represents. There are no special exceptions. I read the Wikipedia fallacy. It states that because 9*.111... = .999..., therefore x = both one and 999... which is not rational. Math must be rational to be acccurate. Approximations don't count.Sep 29 2012: The fact that .999... = 1 is accepted as fact universally throughout the math and science community. I wont debate that here, please refer to this Wikipedia article or check with anyone in the math community http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.999...
Another example might be helpful. Bob has an apple, and Mary has an apple. Bob is 100% certain that his apple exists and he assigns a truth value T=1 to this magnitude of existence. Mary is not certain that her apple exists at all, she is permanently uncertain whether it exists or not. But it is very, very convincing that it does, however she remains uncertain of it. She says that her apple exists with truth value T= .999... to reflect the inherent existential uncertainty of this apple.
Bob is certain, Mary is uncertain. However, quantitatively these are identical views to hold because .999... = 1. Qualitatively they are different. But quantitatively, they are in fact quite the same.
We have proven that these two approaches to the existence of apple are quantitatively equivalent.
This has very little to do with epistemology, or the study of words and language. I am doing philosophy of math & physics, definitely not epistemology.
Sep 29 2012: .999... (to infinity) does not equal 1. It approximates 1. There is a HUGE difference between the words "equal" and "approximate", and no philosophy of math or physics should conflate the two. If you do, you are skewing the results, thus making things harder for yourself.
1 minus .000000000000000000001 = .999999999999999999999.
One cannot equal .999999999999999999999
I can be 99.99999% certain that something is right and still be wrong. 99.99999 =/= 1. The probability that I am wrong can be slim, but it still exists. Therefore, knowledge =/= faith.
Sep 29 2012: That is in fact incorrect. Please check those facts with an external source. As I stated above, .999... = 1 identically. It is not an approximation. They are exactly equal. Further, this is universally regarded as fact throught the math community worldwide.
I cannot debate this topic here, it is off topic. This thread is about equivalenve and applying it to the Law of the Excluded Middle. Please read the Wikipedia article I cited or check with a mathematician. I cant use this space to debate something which is considered to be an elementary fact of mathematics, this is why calculus works, I wont debate that here. Again, it is universally accepted that 0.999... = 1 identically, it is not an approximation.
Thanks for the feedback but Im trying to stay on topic.
Sep 29 2012: OK. I will leave this thread. But if you believe that .999... = 1, then you do not believe in the law of the excluded middle
The law of excluded middle can be expressed by the propositional formula x=x. It means that a statement is either true or false. Think of it as claiming that there is NO middle ground between being true and being false. Every statement has to be one or the other. That's why it's called the law of excluded middle, because it excludes ANY middle ground between truth and falsity. So while the law of non-contradiction tells us that no statement can be both true and false, the law of excluded middle tells us that they must ALL be one or the other.
If x = something other than x, then it is necessary to declare the conclusion false.
The Law of the Excluded Middle does not take infinity into consideration. It deals with finite things only, therefore, .999 does not equal 1. 1 only = .999 if you take it into the realm of infinity.
If you do not take it into the realm of infinity, then if you say 1=.999, you are violating the law of non-contradiction.
Or do I misunderstand the law of the excluded middle?
If I can't speak of the math, how can I speak of the law of the excluded middle? It's founded on mathematical principles.Sep 29 2012: You begin suggesting the split universe theory, then you move away from it.
In U1, things either exist or do not exist, and in U2, you are dealing with probabilities, which are real things, whether or not they can be seen by you who are here and now. What exists in U2, and will become part of U1, is relative to your trajectory and velocity. Some probabilities are therefore more probable than others/
But when you move to say that .999....=1, you are mistaken. .999... = .999... and 1=1. 1 = 1.000 minus .001, thus PROVING that 1 =/= .999
I hear you struggling with the mathematical nature of reality, but I don't think that it can be explained using arithmetic. Arithmetic isn't dynamic enough to convey abstract probabilities. Where math is a language, arithmetic is a word. That's why I suggested that you look toward geometry that doesn't require years of learning math as a language.
Quantum physics already recognizes your U2, but it's not just one universe. They are very close to announcing that there is sufficient agreement for declaring that we live in a multiverse that relative to us, is filled with probabilities waiting to be realized relative to your position as observer. (Your frame of reference).Sep 29 2012: "I think, therefore I am" can be expressed as Pi (I think = diameter, and I am = circumference). "I" (or Pi) is the relationship of your reality to your "perceived" identity just as Pi is the relationship of a circle to its diameter.
Apply this concept to a sphere with infinite tangent points and you can then say, I think this, therefore that is the most probable consequence of my actions. That would be a valuable tool. It's called "critical thinking", and most people avoid it like the plague.
I "know" that I have $10.00 is not equivalent to I "expect" (have faith) that I have $10.00. Knowledge and faith are two different things.
You can have faith that something that violates scientifically known principles is true, but that does not make it true nor will all the thinking in the world make it true. You can have faith in something that you do not know if it does not violate inviolate principles, and you can manifest it into being.
But no mater how many ways you frame the debate, and no matter how many identities you establish to do so, faith will never equal knowledge. They are two entirely different concepts. Faith = absence of knowledge. So in this context, all faith based ideas would be expressed as negatives in your mathematical construct.
Sep 29 2012: If you are a mathmatician, logician or physicist I can change your mind with an example as follows.
Consider two universes. Call them U1 and U2. In U1 things either exist, or they do not. In U2 everything is partially existent, and we say that things "might exist" instead of saying that they "do exist". Let U1 and U2 be considered equivalent, just like in relativity.
Now we go out and apply our theory. We see a tree. An observer claims that he is certain that it exists and gives it's existence a truth value = 1. A second observer is never sure of anything, ever, but the existence of tree is pretty convincing and he assigns it's existence a truth value of .999... .
Since .999... = 1, precisely, it is clear that in terms of quantifying these truth values that these two situations are indeed equivalent. The same thing would hold for nonexistent objects.
What I am saying is that whether something is certain or uncertain, that this "certainty / uncertainty" is a quality which we ascribe to things. Clearly these two qualities are quite opposite each other. However, they also have a quantitative aspect and that these quantities can be equivalent.
If I exist with truth value = 1, then I exist with absolute certainty. There is no question about it.
But if I say that I "might" exist, I am making a statement which is based on uncertainty. Consider that this is expressed as a potential, and that in this case the truth value = .999...
Clearly, .999... = 1 and the only difference is whether we are certain or uncertain. Quantitatively, these two models are equivalent.
Random and nonrandom are equivalent.
Sep 29 2012: You begin suggesting the split universe theory, then you move away from it.
In U1, things either exist or do not exist, and in U2, you are dealing with probabilities, which are real things, whether or not they can be seen by you who are here and now. What exists in U2, and will become part of U1, is relative to your trajectory and velocity. Some probabilities are therefore more probable than others.
But when you move to say that .999....=1, you are mistaken. .999... = .999... and 1=1.
.999 = 1.000 minus .001, thus PROVING that 1 =/= .999. It only approximates it. Approximations are not equalities.
I hear you struggling with the mathematical nature of reality, but I don't think that it can be explained using your model.
Quantum physics already recognizes your U2, but it's not just one universe. They are very close to announcing that there is sufficient agreement for declaring that we live in a multiverse that relative to us, is filled with probabilities waiting to be realized relative to your position as observer. (Your frame of reference).Sep 29 2012: Yes, it is a bit different. Currently, in mathematics it is believed that stochastic and non-stochastic processes are two very different things. Indeed they are. It is difficult to call them opposites, but may be considered complementary by some.
In my view these would be considered equivalent processes. Equivalent in the same sense that two completely different frames of reference can be regarded as being equivalent in relativity.
I have several worked examples which illustrate why we can say that random and non-random processes can be regarded as being equivalent. This applies to physical as well as mathematical processes.
The best way to explain these examples is with a short video. I have two videos on YouTube and I will try to link to them here:
The first video should play automatically at this link. It is called "Two Physicists Walk Into A Bar"
The second video concerns the Sierpinski Triangle, a very famous fractal:
This general approach is a valid application and extension of the methods of Relativity. Because it is so closely related to randomness, it should be clear that it provides a way to connect General Relativity with Quantum Mechanics.
Sep 29 2012: The Sierpinski Triangle - when viewed through the randomness method - does not provide a duplicate of the Sierpinski Triangle. You will have triangle points left over. Thus the Sierpinski approximation of the Sierpinski triangle is not equal. The equivalence that is mentioned in the video you offered is based on a provable fallacy.
Sep 29 2012: Incorrect. When generated by the random algorithm, you let the process go through infinitely many iterations to generate the triangle. The two fractals, generated by their respective algorithms are identical with the possible exception of a few points needed to start the random process, but that can be eliminated by selecting a starting point properly.
Sep 29 2012: If your starting point is not random, then you have violated the entire randomness method. Those exceptions (the extra points) are important if you are putting a theory together. Random =/= deliberate just as approximate =/= exact.Sep 29 2012: Is this different from the distinction between deterministic and stochastic models?
Sep 29 2012: Deterministic and stochastic models are different. They will always be different. But this difference is qualitative.
The reason we can make these things equivalent is because quantitatively they are the same. In other words, whether you have a stochastic model, or a deterministic model, you get the same numbers. You always get the same answers. You get two answers to every possible problem. One is certain, and the other is uncertain or an expected value. If we say that these are equivalent, then we have a kind of duality in everything that we are doing.
You can probably see that this would give a fresh new approach to resolving paradoxes regarding the wave-particle duality of light. It also provides a framework for offering an easy to understand justification for the occurrence of which-way information in QM. There are many benefits of this approach. This is just the tip of the iceberg. My purpose here is to popularize this view, or share it with as many people as possible because I am confident that it is correct.
Sep 29 2012: So you are proposing modeling any problem as if it could be either a deterministic or a stochastic process, or both, rather than sorting phenomena into deterministic and stochastic and using the sorts of models that fit best for each?
Sep 29 2012: That is precisely correct. Every problem that is solvable using mathematics of logic should have 2 solutions. One deterministic, and the other essentially uncertain or stochastic.
For example, the number 5. It can be regarded as a known value. It is known with an implied (but unstated) inherent certainty. We could however regard this quantity as an expected value, in which case it is precisely the same magnitude but it's "qualitative" properties have changed, it is now inherently uncertain.
The magnitudes 5 (known) and 5 (expected) are identical, but their qualities are different. For an empiricist, what this means is that there must be two equivalent models of the entire universe. One deterministic, the other essentially uncertain or stochastic. Both models would produce the same exact numbers. One universe is deterministic, and the other is stochastic. They must be equivalent. The connections to Relativity and QM are obvious.
This should also be true for the entirety of all mathematics. I have come close to a proof for the general case for "all of mathematics", but I do not have that proof completed. I have come close and dont want this line of research to be forgotten. That is why I engage in online debate.Sep 29 2012: So one might conceptualize this as all stochastic with a practice of always as one case assuming the most likely underlying error distribution and as the second case the degenerative case (the deterministic version).
Sep 29 2012: In my view neither case is degenerative. You may have the emergence or order from a disordered system, or emergence of disorder from one which is deterministic. But neither case is really degenerative. Together they form a duality. The duality is held together by assumption of equivalence. And in fact we can come very close to proving the equivalence of these two structures, but I am more comfortable simply saying that the duality forms a consistent system.
By embracing a quantitative tool which has duality built into it, we can look at the wave particle duality with this new tool and understand it in a whole new way. Perhaps for the first time.
I want to apply this work to Bell's Inequality, various works of Alain Aspect and others. That is my goal. Either to do it myself, or provide a tool for others to follow. I want to create a new tradition within science which embraces the duality of random and nonrandom, that acknowledges that they are equivalent and proceeds from there.

Idea: The human brain is currently evolving by adapting to electronic based high frequency cycles.
One of the human brain's main tasks is to always be synched to environmental cycles and reoccurring patterns. Jeff Hawkins describes our brain as a pattern recognition machine with a pattern memory attached. He describes the brain as a prediction machine that is constantly synched to environmental cycles and patterns (reality) in his TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/jeff_hawkins_on_how_brain_science_will_change_computing.html.
Recently emerging environmental patterns that are practically affecting human survival are industrial and electronic frequency cycles. The brain is now actively adapting to these cycles on a conscious level. There is the potential for humans to create tools that operate using these cycles in a proactive way. Consider this: a desktop computer can function at incredible frequencies for certain processes, yet has bottlenecks of multiple orders of magnitude in difference. A human computer user can become much more efficient at using this high frequency tool if the bottlenecks are reduced in magnitude.
Kwabena Boahen describes the bottlenecks in modern computers and their inefficiency when compared with human brain processing in his talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/kwabena_boahen_on_a_computer_that_works_like_the_brain.html
Personally, as a computer programer, this back and forward between high frequency thinking and low frequency beach balling is forcing me to always have a backup device ready to maintain my attention focused at high frequency in case of a bottleneck event. My brain hates having to go from mach 10 to hitting a bring wall so i help it by giving it alternative high frequency opportunities during the slowdown. Also, children born being exposed to high frequency cycles on a conscious level all the time are basically training their brains to work at these frequencies. This is either an opportunity or a handicap depending on the context.
Nov 15 2012: What critical bottlenecks we can't avoid or fix in "computer - brain" interface?
Nov 17 2012: For example, i switched my moving parts hard drive in my mac with a solid state drive and that helped reduce the beach-balling in my work day quite drastically. This alone helped my efficiency and productivity in a measurable way. Data transfer between components can become bottlenecks as well. I think that any choke point where there is a difference of orders of magnitude in speed should be specifically targeted and minimized. Components should be specifically paired to work in the same ranges of speed.Nov 14 2012: So, by "evolving" you mean of course that people whose brain happen to be synched with processor frequencies are more likely to pass their special genes down a generation than other people?
Nov 14 2012: Yes, check out this infographic: http://msnbc.msn.com-id2.us/jobs/
It basically says that people who work in a high frequency environment are at the top of the food chain. This is the main evolutionary requirement for passing genes on.
Nov 14 2012: Top of the food chain? So do they eat the rest? Or eat before the rest and thus have more nutrients in them for copulation, hence have more offspring?
Or is it that have harems with every available sex mates, due to their high status, imposing celibacy on the rest?
Nov 14 2012: Yes, eating the rest provides more protein :-) Mostly it shows there is a demand for the gene, a selective advantage, a fertile ground for the gene, an opportunity, a growing resource niche attracting the gene, a potential for higher survivability of the gene, the ability for the gene to pay for its copies' higher education and therefore increase the chance of its propagation for many generations...Nov 14 2012: So you talking about possible existence of mind control or advanced tools for boosting link between computer and brain?
Nov 14 2012: I think a good start would be in trying actively to remove some of the bottlenecks separated by larger orders of magnitude from the computers interface. That alone can increase our efficiency in interacting with them. Other bottlenecks will then become apparent such as the actual methods of interaction, which will give birth to more direct connections such as mind control.Nov 14 2012: Not too long ago I was a physics student who had to concentrate through 3 hours of lectures every morning, but in the past 2 years maybe I've spent a lot of my time using computers and working with children (I'm a teacher working in Korea). Very recently I've noticed that I find it incredibly difficult to concentrate on one thing for any length of time. I realised this about myself after becoming frustrated with some students who could not pay attention for (honestly) less than 10minutes.
The children here all have iPads and when at home spend most of their time on computers, as do I. Undoubtedly modern technology is allowing us to access information and operate our brains at a high frequency. However, I believe it may also be having a huge impact on our ability to work efficiently and at the right pace when we're not using a screen. What do you think of this? Have you any suggestions for this "problem"/change in behaviour?
Nov 14 2012: That is a good question. What we are witnessing is a split in frequency usage of the brain, as you mentioned. The low-frequency patterns are more deeply embedded in our physiology. It's the same thing that happened during the Industrial revolution. We created machines that were efficient based on their output and material constitution but where detrimental to and physically incompatible with their operators, resulting in a miserable existence for the poor people who were stuck working them in factories. What we need is a compromise: we need to be better at switching between the 2 frequencies, or we need to pick one and abstract the other using intermediary tools and interfaces. For example, i'm a coder, i hate typing and i prefer writing more efficient shorter lines of code rather then verbose long paragraphs of code. Let the robots do the hard work, and let me control the robots using interfaces that fit my physiology better. For us older folks, the robots would do the high frequency stuff. For younger people, i suspect they would rather have the robots do the slow frequency stuff.Nov 14 2012: I don't know. This part of the environment is dynamic not static. How could we change so quickly? Things are not always getting better. Reread Voltaire's Candide
Nov 14 2012: I've started to think that there is no static environment. Especially our curent times, we live in a relatively dynamic epoch which has seen humanity become an industrial species, an event unique in the history of life on earth. We are creating our own environments, and removing or changing non-human environments. What humans dont realize is that just because we are creating our own environments, doesn't mean we do not need to adapt anymore. In fact, we are now busy adapting to our own man-made environments. In some ways, those are changing much faster then the ancient non-human environments.

Nature's Way has done the homework so you can use their products with absolute confidence.
Company history
Nature's Way originated from a circumstance we can all understand—a family's desperate need to overcome a personal health crisis. Back in the late 1960s, Tom Murdock, the founder of what is now Nature's Way, needed a solution to help his gravely ill wife. After trying conventional medicine without success, Tom and his wife turned to the traditional Native American knowledge of "medicinal plants" growing in the Arizona desert. As a result, she recovered and lived an additional 25 years.
Tom Murdock's pioneering spirit did more than save a life—it led to the renaissance of herbal medicine in America. As word spread about his wife's recovery, Tom set out to find other healthy treasures growing in the Arizona desert. By 1969, Tom and his family had eight new herbal remedies to share with others and thus began the legacy of Nature's Way.
Schwabe North America (SNA), producer of the Enzymatic Therapy, Nature's Way and Integrative Therapeutics brands, is a leading manufacturer and distributor of high-quality dietary supplements. Their focus on quality assurance includes both internal and external quality evaluations.

Brenton and Bryson Scott have a wealth of childhood memories of playing sports together.
From preschool to Upward League to playing at Maple Creek Middle School, the twins never faced off against each other in game competition. Sure, the two would play pick-up and one-on-one against one another, but never, not even in other sports, such as football or baseball, would the two be separated.
The duo showcased their talents as one with the AAU team Spiece Indy Heat from fourth grade to their senior year of high school. They will go down in Northrop boys basketball history as the top two scorers in the program's 41-year history.
"Our grandparents started off and put us in all different sports, not just basketball," Bryson said. "We played baseball, football and even track. But we were always together."
The family plan was expected to carry the Scott boys through college, where they would play basketball beside one another in a backcourt at a prestigious program.
Then came the summer of 2010.
The twins were attending a camp at Purdue, showcasing their talents for coach Matt Painter in an attempt to gain recognition and, if lucky, earn a scholarship offer from the Boilermakers.
"Coach Painter called us into his office and sat us down," Brenton recalled. "He told us both that we were very good players, but that he was only going to offer a scholarship to Bryson."
Brenton was floored.
"It kind of hurt my feelings," Brenton said.
The Scotts had a decision to make. This was a big-time Big Ten program offering one of them a scholarship. They had never considered playing in different places in college, but could Bryson turn down the offer?
"When I got the offer from Purdue, I knew it was not going to work out, us staying together," Bryson said. "It was tough."
The two had gotten offers from a few schools – Ohio University and IPFW – to stay together at the next level. But MAC and Summit League programs do not have the allure of Purdue.
Bryson committed to the Boilermakers in November 2010, leaving his brother looking for a collegiate home.
It came in March 2012.
"I had offers from Missouri State and Wright State, and in the late summer (of 2011) Indiana State offered me," Brenton said. "It was not a big-time school like Indiana or Purdue, but I went down for a game and loved the way they play."
Brenton committed on March 13 and credited the meeting with Painter as inspiration.
"I used (not getting a scholarship offer from Purdue) as motivation," Brenton said. "I kept trying to get better and better every chance I got."
The two have pushed themselves and their teammates to get better each season at Northrop, culminating in a senior campaign that has seen the Bruins capture their third SAC Tournament championship and third sectional title in the last four years.
The Scott boys have their eyes on more, while trying not to look too far ahead.
"When we are at home, we try and talk about what is going to happen after that last game," Bryson said. "We try to keep a positive outlook on it. We don't want it to end. We want a state championship before we have to go our separate ways."
The duo has combined to score 3,530 points at Northrop over four seasons. Currently at 2,015 career points, Bryson is Northrop's all-time leading scorer. Brenton sits at 1,515 points entering Saturday's Marion Regional semifinal game against New Haven.
Bryson is second all-time in Allen County to Deshaun Thomas (3,018) in career points.
It is a legacy that will stand for awhile.
"Win or lose this season, me and Bryson have accomplished a lot together," Brenton said.
So many times, Bryson and Brenton have locked eyes in an empty gym or in a park on an asphalt court, one on offense, one on defense. But never has it come in a real game with real implications.
That time may come in a few years. According to Brenton, Purdue and Indiana State have spoken about a home-and-home series beginning in 2014, pitting Boilermaker Scott and Sycamore Scott against each other for the first time.
Both of them would relish the opportunity.
"We feel like we know what each other can do on the court, but there are still times where he surprises me with what he can do," Brenton said. "I'm sure he feels that too sometimes."
The twins hope they have a few more weeks to make everlasting memories together.
"We embrace what we have done and appreciate it," Bryson said. "There are feelings that will definitely be there when it ends; we just want to keep going as long as we can."

Washington, DC—President Obama has requested $265,869,000 for fiscal year 2011 for the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS). The request, which was transmitted to Congress today, is the same as the FY 2010 enacted levels for the Institute's programs and administration. The proposed budget will support museums and libraries as they re-energize the economy, fuel partnerships and knowledge sharing, and provide much-needed services to their communities.
"We are gratified that essential services of the nation's 17,500 museums and 123,000 libraries have been recognized in President Obama's continued support of these institutions," said Anne-Imelda M. Radice, Director of IMLS.
The President requested $213,523,000 for the nation's 123,000 libraries. Of that amount, approximately 80 percent ($172.5 million) is distributed through the Grants to States program to the State Library Administrative Agencies (SLAAs) in each of the 50 states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and freely associated states, according to a population-based formula. These grants help libraries meet the community needs, use technology to develop new service models and reach underserved populations. Library funding also supports the following programs:
In support of the nation's 17,500 museums, the President requested $35,212,000 for the following grant programs:
The President's budget provides $2.1 million in continued support for research and policy activities, including funding for the Public Library Survey and the State Library Agency Survey. From its inception in 1989 through 2007, these two surveys were administered by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). In 2009, IMLS released the following:

Saturday, May 08, 2004JOHNSON CITY, TENN. (May 8, 2004) - The East Tennessee State (27-32, 7-13 SoCon) softball squad hosted Furman University (15-45, 7-12 SoCon) in the final home series of the 2004 regular season in a conference doubleheader at Metro-Kiwanis Park this afternoon. In front of a gathered crowd for senior day festivities, the Lady Bucs and Lady Paladins were scoreless until the bottom of the fifth inning when ETSU's Tiffany McVay (Soddy-Daisy, Tenn.) reached first on an error by the Furman second baseman. After a Sheryl Clark (Bradenton, Fla.) sacrifice bunt, senior Julia Chance (Knoxville, Tenn.) sent a ball to the center field fence scoring McVay with the double. ETSU pitcher McVay kept the Furman bats quiet until the top of the seventh when after a Joni Lockridge walk, and advance to second, Sarah Scott stepped to the plate blasting a one-run double to the center field fence. With two outs in the top half the Lady Paladins forced an ETSU error causing two runs to score as Furman took the 3-1 lead and the win for the first game of the afternoon. The Lady Bucs Lindsay Lane (Erwin Tenn.) managed two hits for game one, while Kristin White had two hits for the Lady Paladins. Lockridge went 1-1 adding a walk and scored one run in the top of the seventh to tie the contest. McVay allowed six hits in the complete game loss while Paladin pitcher Rachel Henley allowed just four hits and one walk in the win. After a relatively quiet first game offensively, the Lady Bucs started game two with a fiery start. Dani Spetar (Knoxville, Tenn.) reached first on a fielder's choice then found herself in scoring position after a Lane single. Miranda Byerly (Chandler, N.C.) stepped to the plate knocking an RBI single for ETSU's first run while senior Rhea Holler (Peoria, Az.) sent a two-run double into the outfield fence as ETSU took the early 3-0 lead. After a two-run effort for ETSU in the bottom of the second, the Lady Paladins answered in the top of the third scoring three runs to close the Lady Bucs lead at 5-3. With runners on first and second in the bottom of the fourth, Holler sent a high fly ball to the center field fence where Lady Paladin center fielder LaKerah Barr made a diving catch for the second out of the inning saving a sure-run on the play. The Lady Bucs added one run in the bottom of the third, while the Lady Paladins added two runs in the top of the fourth when Megan Jaudon singled scoring White from third. Jessica Matthews faced ETSU pitcher Belinda Barrera (Fayetteville, N.C.) hitting a single scoring Scott for the fifth Furman run. The Lady Bucs managed to hold the one-run lead winning the second game of the day with a score of 6-5. Both teams will be back in action tomorrow afternoon as they play the final game of the 2004 regular season. Game time is set for 1:00 pm at Metro-Kiwanis Park.

Sixty years after the Australian Grand Prix was first staged at Albert Park, the two men who did most to place Australia firmly on the world motor racing map will be honoured at a unique ceremony before the 2013 Formula 1® Rolex Australian Grand Prix on Sunday 17 March.
Bronze busts of Sir Jack Brabham AO OBE, Formula One World Champion in 1959, 1960 and 1966, and Alan Jones MBE, who became Australia's second Formula One World Champion in 1980, will be unveiled in a special ceremony at the Albert Park circuit at 2 pm on race day.
Commissioned jointly by the Australian Grand Prix Corporation (AGPC) and Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS), the busts are the work of well-known Melbourne artist Barbara McLean, whose sculptures already grace the public areas of Rod Laver Arena, as well as public and private collections here and overseas.
"It is entirely fitting that, sixty years on from the first Australian Grand Prix to be held at Albert Park in 1953, these two great names should be honoured here in Melbourne," said Ron Walker, Chairman of the AGPC.
"The names Brabham and Jones are part of the foundations on which our motor racing heritage was built. In 1953 Jack Brabham, as he then was, encountered the established front-runners of the Australian scene – men like Lex Davison and Alan's father, Stan Jones.
"Just three years later at the same circuit Brabham then took on Stan Jones as the Aussies competed against Stirling Moss, Jean Behra and the mighty Maseratis when international racing first came to Australia.
"Soon after, Jack Brabham left these shores to win three Formula One World Championships, put Australia firmly on the motor racing map and earn a knighthood. A generation later, Alan Jones became Australia's second World Champion.
"We are intensely proud that these wonderful statues will stand guard over the circuit where Australia's motorsport reputation was forged, and where the Formula One world is such a welcome visitor every year."
CAMS President Andrew Papadopoulos said, "There wouldn't be many Australians that wouldn't know of these two men and what they achieved in their heyday. It's great they have been honoured in such a way. We can only hope there are more than two bronze busts in the future and a young star of today or tomorrow joins Sir Jack Brabham and Alan Jones in their exclusive club of Australian Formula One World Champions."
Parramatta Speedway and the Geelong Sprints may not immediately suggest the glamour we associate with the world of Formula One, but those two local venues were crucial to the careers of the two men now being immortalised in bronze.
Born in Hurstville, Sydney, on April 2 1926, Jack Brabham tried his hand at motor racing for the first time at Parramatta Speedway in Sydney's west and quickly summed it up. "They were all lunatics!" he said, but the madness was infectious.
Through midget cars on cinder tracks, hillclimbs and iconic cars such as his RedeX Special – which he sold to Stan Jones – Jack Brabham graduated to Formula 1 in a Cooper in the British Grand Prix at Aintree in England on July 16 1955.
Almost exactly four years later at the same venue Brabham, by now a member of the Cooper factory team, won his first Grand Prix. It was the first of 14 World Championship Grand Prix victories from 126 races in which Brabham also took 13 pole positions and set 10 fastest laps.
His proudest boast was that no fewer than 80 of those Grands Prix were in cars of his own manufacture; six of his 14 wins were achieved in the famous Repco-engined Brabhams of the great F1 era from 1966 to 1968.
"I still have vivid memories of those meetings here at Albert Park," said Sir Jack, who made his final Grand Prix appearance in 1970 and was knighted in 1979. "The rivalries were friendly, but no less intense for that! Seeing thousands flock to this circuit to watch us race made me realise just how much this sport of motor racing mattered to so many people.
"I won many trophies, many titles and was thrilled to take Australia's name to the top of the motor racing world. But I have never felt as honoured as I did when I learned that my achievements and Alan's were to be commemorated in this way.
"It is absolutely wonderful for me to know that while my Repco Brabham sits here in Melbourne in the National Museum of Sport, just a short distance away its driver is commemorated so strikingly here at Albert Park where our Formula 1 heritage began."
Born in Melbourne on November 2 1946, Alan Jones, determined to follow in his father's footsteps, got to grips with motor sport at the Geelong Sprints but quickly realised the path to glory led overseas.
While he first headed for the UK in 1967, it was not until 1973 that results started to fall his way. Three wins in Formula Atlantic in 1974 opened the door for a Formula 1 debut in 1975 in a second-hand Hesketh at Silverstone's non-Championship International Trophy meeting.
The Hesketh days were short-lived, however, and in the following two years Jones drove for former World Champions Graham Hill and John Surtees with some success but little enjoyment. That changed in 1977 when he was called up by Shadow.
Alan Jones took the first of his 12 World Championship victories in Austria that season and brought himself to the attention of one Frank Williams. The rest, as they say, is history: by 1979 Frank's new car, the FW07, and A. Jones had become the partnership to beat. They took four wins in 1979; five more in 1980 made Alan Australia's second World Champion.
Despite further victories in 1981, Jones – exhausted by the brutality of the 'ground-effect' cars of the era – brought down the curtain on his F1 career. A one-off race for Arrows in 1983 was followed by a full-time return with Lola in 1985-86. Alan Jones contested 116 World Championship races, winning 12 (he will maintain it should be 13 but his victory in Spain in 1980 was deemed 'unofficial'), took pole position six times and set 13 fastest laps.
"It's hard enough for me to accept that three decades have flown by since I was World Champion, let alone remember 60 years ago when as a very small boy I watched my father race at Albert Park!" says Alan.
"But I am delighted that our home town, Melbourne, has decided to acknowledge our contribution to Australia's motor racing history with these marvellous sculptures.
"For a boy whose first outing was in a Morris 850 at the Geelong Sprints it's quite something to end up immortalised in bronze at Albert Park! I am very proud and honoured to be remembered alongside Sir Jack at a circuit which has such happy memories for my family."
In true Formula One fashion, speed was of the essence when it came to Barbara McLean's work. "The timeframe was very demanding," she says. "True to the nature of the commission it was a very fast journey!" Barbara had only 10 days studio time with each work – and far less than that with her subjects.
"I was able to grab Alan for just five minutes in transit at Melbourne airport," she explained, "and for the whole time I was like a rabbit in the headlights, just staring because I wanted to record as much as I could." With Sir Jack, afternoon tea allowed Barbara to weigh up the triple World Champion in a more leisurely way.
"It made a huge difference to meet them both," she explains. "With photographs, which are a major source for my work, a lot of distortion can take place, but when you have met the subject, even for a short time, you can see the truth of the character through the photographs."
She was keen to capture the mischievous sense of humour that lies just under the surface with Sir Jack, while both men impressed her with the intensity of their concentration and their astuteness, both qualities forged in the fierce heat of F1 competition.
The other challenge is that these two World Champion busts are larger than much of her work, meaning that she had to 'scale up' all round. But the end result is the same, and the artist sums it up best. "In bronze," she smiles, "these two great men will outlast all of us!"

The daily adventures of a mom of 12 who loves to run and is training hard to see just how good I can be.

Footwear and fillings
Katie O. (who is very observant!) noticed that I was wearing my blue/black Brooks PureFlows (detailed review on my most favorite shoes here) in my pre-race Boston Marathon photos, but that in my official race photos I am wearing white and purple shoes, and she asked what was up with the shoe change.
The white/purple shoes I am wearing in my official Boston Marathon photos are also Brooks PureFlows. They come in three awesome colors now (see them all here). I always have at least three pairs of PureFlows in rotation as they are the only running shoes I wear now. I put on an old pair of black/blue PureFlows before I left my hotel room last Monday morning (it is crazy to me that it was over a week ago already!) and I had my purple/white racing shoes in my gear bag.
I didn't put on my race shoes until it was close to race time, since runners have a lot of walking/waiting around and a lot of time in a grass field before the Boston Marathon starts. The grass was definitely NOT wet last Monday, but it still was a good plan. So I wore my old pair of shoes until just before I headed out to the corrals, and then I lubed up my feet and put on fresh socks and my race pair of Brooks PureFlows (that were perfectly broken in with about 50 miles on them) and put my old pair in my gear bag.
I also always have a pair of my favorite flip-flops in my gear bag to put on when I am done. It feels amazing to me to take off my running shoes at the end of a race and slip on my favorite Reef flip flops.
I am enjoying a week of short/easy miles (nothing over 10 miles yet and no intensity), although I started back up my core/strength training again yesterday after a week of half strength two weeks before Boston, and then a week off before and a week off after race day. This morning I ran eight miles and it was blissful. My legs felt great and it was a fun run.
I am feeling great overall except for a tooth ache that has gotten progressively worse over the last two weeks. (Note - toothaches don't magically go away on their own no matter how much you wish them to). I am going in today for an emergency root canal/filling/crown. Should be super fun, and I am in denial about what it will all cost. Stupid teeth.
Today my Marcus is eight years old! Josh and I were in the room when he was born eight years ago and I was the first person to hold him. I love this kid. :)
I hope you all have a great day. More soon. :)

Oh, I'm feeling for you on the root canal! I just had one and was honestly terrified going into it. Such a baby that the doc let Todd come in with me. But it's not that bad and you will get instant relief from the pain.
Happy birthday Marcus!

Hi Erin,
I really want to know what you eat for an average day. I'd love for you to keep a list all day and share it...because I struggle with this part of race training. With as many miles as you run- I'd love to see how you fuel.
- April 24, 2012 at 10:23 AM
Hi Erin,
Sorry to hear about your tooth, I've been there and you'll feel much better after you get it taken care of! I'm very glad you'll be helping us out by answering some training questions, I'd love to hear what you do for your core/strength training routines, my goal for this spring is to make that a priority. I'd be really interested to hear about your nutrition and fueling on race day as well.

Hey Erin~ I totally laughed at the comment about wishing away a toothache! I did that too, then bit into a jellybean on Sunday and broke the tooth!!! Crown prep yesterday :(. Why doesn't wishing away work??? Love your blog and am really looking forward to hearing more about your fueling, etc! Thanks!

PureFlows are the best invention, well, since running shoes themselves! I did a half marathon in them last Dec. and the compliments I got on the shoes paled in comparison to how they felt!
I love that you rocked the pink ones! I'll have those on at the track tomorrow.
Keep on inspiring-on all fronts!

Hello Erin,
Another interesting and informative post. I will send you the next phase of your training program later today.
I'm confident you'll have a much better opportunity to PR in Utah. Weather in Boston this morning is in the 40's...much different than 9
days ago.

I have been running shorter runs (up to 10 miles) in the Brooks PureConnects. I love them, but was concerned to go up in mileage in them, so I bought the PureFlows and ran a half marathon in them on Saturday. It went great, so I'm thinking about wearing them for a marathon I have next weekend. You have given me the confidence to go for it. They are so comfortable and light, I feel like I'm floating in them!
