Given current networking and opensource possibilities is it possible to conduct a run for high office using little or no money?
I think politicians are bought and sold like any other commodity. While I don't think money is the root of all evil, it contributes mightily, and has no place in deciding who we choose as leaders. I've noticed that campaign finance reform is only talked about when someone gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar, and then is dropped as soon as the heat dies down. There is no incentive for our employees to change the rules, because the rules favor them.
We could publicly pay for campaigns. Everyone gets the same money, and when it's gone it's gone. This would eliminate special interest contributions, and give everyone a skin in the game, but only one. This seems a better choice to me than what we're doing. What we have now is tantamount to jury tampering for which jail time is required.
Beyond public financing, would it be possible to run with no money at all? We're becoming a more and more interconnected bunch, with the resources to share without the input or contribution from the typical media.
Any other ideas?
Feb 26 2013: Let's see:
It seems all posters agree that you cannot run in a totally corrupt system, unless you have enough money to become corrupt. And you still want to fool yourself into thinking some kind of "movement" is going to change it and make it not corrupt i.e. a just system? Maybe a bowel movement, but nothing more.
"would we be better served to protest and start a movement that demands serious reform....."
The movement has begun and how much more serious do you want it to be?
You have lost most of your liberties, many have lost your homes. You have certainly lost much of your equity, if you had any to begin with. Your schools are prisons. Your prisons are private businesses. Your food is owned and polluted. You are told what to believe, what to think, what to say and what to do, what not to believe, what not to think, what not to say and what not to do, at great peril and threat should you. Your police, who are outfitted and armed, not to fight terrorists but to be used against you, the citizens, can now enter your homes without warning, without cause, detain indefinitely, without reason or answer and even make you disappear. You are watched wherever you go and your private information doesn't even belong to you. Your children are being tasered and TSA'ed to teach them while they are young, how to adapt to growing up in a Fascist regime while mommy or daddy stood by and did nothing.
How much more of a movement do you need before you jump sky high and do something?
You still have the Declaration of Independence that authorizes you, compels you and tells you what to do.
Maybe you should use it.
Feb 26 2013: All the points you make are accurate. What's your solution? Snap your fingers and institute Venus? Let 'er rip. Even that has to start someplace. I don't need any more evidence to decide something needs to be done. What concrete things are you suggesting, or better yet doing?
Feb 28 2013: Hi Ward.
I keep seeing my comments disappearing and I don't know why.
I am doing what I can to try and wake people up to really thinking differently, try to find what it is they can do and urging them to do it. Tell someone, don't tell someone, find others to help, or do it alone if that is the situation. Whatever. I am old, near death but right now, closer to homelessness. They are running neck-and-neck.
I guess one place to start would be to simply not do anything authority or government tells us/US to do.
After all, we are the Constitution, not a piece of paper, not the words, and also, laws are not our authority.
We are the corporations, not those at the top, so we need to take them over to ensure they continue to produce foodstuffs, water, clothing, etc and continue distribution and ensure availability of them.
We have to step out of the power structure and it appears the only way to do that, is to not do what they say.
They are rigging elections in Michigan. They are getting ready for the Sequester, the so-called "starving of the beast".
Well, since probably the 1700's the term beast was used by those in power to describe the populace and also revealed just how much disdain and disgust rulers have for people.
To me, the Sequester, the starving of the beast, refers, in a very sneaky way, to starving the populace.
The economic Keystone Kops we are watching and wondering what they are doing and why, is simple to me.
They are intentionally going to destroy it all so that they can have the populace 100% willing to rely upon them and a new system, for survival, which they will offer and which the people should refuse.
But they didn't with the bailouts. They did however, listen to the threats of how much worse it would get if they didn't accept. This will be the same scenario.
The only way to begin to successfully get through it is to refuse it and stand that ground.
What ideas do you have to begin? What to do, what kind of action? It will vary for us/US all.
Mar 1 2013: I couldn't agree more with your assessment of this insanity we are subjected to.
I do have some specific ideas about what we can do. Unfortunately I'm on a trip out of town and typing this on my phone. I'll elaborate when I have access to better equipment.Feb 25 2013: As TED Lover shares below the clerical costs alone are formidable. Add to those costs the astronomical advertising costs. A viable attempt to win a non-incumbent seat in Congress or the White House without spending BIG bucks is a pipe dream. It cannot happen.Feb 25 2013: In 2010, I started doing the research to run for president in a really REALLY free election. I would accept no campaign donations (so be owned by no one or no group) and I would spend no money (equalizing it). I went through the states election laws one-by-one. I put together a database that listed deadlines, tied to my day-timer, as well as requirements. What I found stunned me. It is 100% impossible to run for office without spending serious money. Just the filing requirements - made intentionally high - were prohibitive.
Begin with most states give immunity to incumbents and the two major political parties. But just for the signatures to get on the ballot, most states require forms where only 8 names appear on a page. That's WELL over 4,000 pages for a typical state. (times 50) Some states limit the time that you are allowed to collect signatures to impossibly small or inconvenient times. States like Arizona do not allow petitioners to be registered with another political party, so petitioners must first go to the election office to see if they have been removed from the rolls of a party they no longer want to support. FOR STARTERS.
Write-ins are not allowed in too many states. Some of those states that allow write-ins do not count the votes and there is no provision for a ballot of electors. Add to that that the minute that you say you are running for office, reports every other week are required for both state and federal election commissions. Bottom line: It's not possible for someone with a sensible, well-articulated plan for getting us out of our predicament to run for any office that would allow those solutions to be heard without one first being bought by the military industrial complex who will squelch them.
I stopped making my cartoon campaign videos that I hoped would go viral. I closed down my database and cleaned out my day timer. I resigned myself to what was obvious and gave up on America. The people are the government's enemy
Feb 25 2013: I knew It would be difficult but what you're saying makes me sick. There can be no other reason than to prevent the people from having a voice. I've always known there was a turd in the punch bowl but this is over the top. Sad, really sad.Feb 25 2013: When the government becomes power hungry and oppressive how is it is a bad thing to be " the government's enemy"? You couldn't be president so you gave-up on America? How about trying for the City Council? Nil Carborundum Illigitimi!Feb 26 2013: Rather than all the fighting about policy issues, would we be better served to protest and start a movement that demands serious reform (overhaul / redo / reset) of this kind of malignancy, that would provide a plausible way for more people to have an opportunity to serve if they want to? Would this be a more unifying effort, something many people would get behind? It is a non-partisan concern that not many would object to, unless of course you're part of the ruling elite who might lose the perks.
Start an effort to end this kind of stuff and see who squeals.
Feb 26 2013: That's what the Occupy movement was all about:: introducing people to the idea of how to reclaim government, by educating themselves enough to be able to. But it was as much maligned & misunderstood as the Tea Party movement, which had much in common with Occupy - though the Tea Partiers didn't believe it.
The bottom line is that we have been LIED to about our own history, so as we try to put a government framework together that would meet the peoples' needs (as the Constitution was written to, and if honored, would restore), most are working with the lies. Neither side wants Constitutional Law, preferring instead the British Common Law that we have thanks to a coup d'etat in 1819 - that you haven't been told about (but for which, clear documentary evidence exists.)
People wanted to violate the Constitution rather than allow the amendment process to play out according to the will of the people. They wanted Congress to fix things, but Congress is unwilling to fulfill its constitutional mandate, so it wants the president and/or Supreme Court to fix things. It is unreasonable to assume that our elected & appointed representatives would give up money and power because a few people with no voice, and no understanding of what the core problem is, are speaking out. So everyone - people and government - are looking for ways to blame everyone else.
A restoration of the 10th amendment (by amendment) that grants government 10 years to conform to it would be valuable, but unless otherwise amended, a lawful government would eliminate almost all government spending and almost all government intrusions in our lives. (which is why the 2 sides couldn't see how much they had in common - they fear each other.)
We are not educated enough to know what we should know PLUS we confuse emotions with thought. This leaves us afraid, powerless & impotent. Government sponsored schools (indoctrination centers) teach & reward sheeple skills.
Educate selves first. Learn how 2 think.
Feb 26 2013: I couldn't agree more. Nothing really to add or dispute, with the exception that I do think it is repairable, given appropriate leadership. I don't think a guy has to become president to have meaningful influence. History is full of great leaders who were unknown and changed history.Feb 26 2013: Of course it's repairable. The solution exists. It's rational and it's not wild-eyed theory. But if the people themselves don't want the solution, because they don't understand what the core problem is, then in a government such as ours, it can't be implemented until the people allow it.
Yes, there have been great leaders who changed history even though they weren't in high political office. But they did so when the times provided the opportunity. It appears that America wants to hit bottom, from whence such opportunities arise.

Forum Sevens: Rugby's Great Split, book review
MANY Rugby League (R.L.) fans will probably be at least vaguely familiar with the story of the game's origins: in 1895 at a meeting at the George Hotel in Huddersfield, 22 clubs broke away from the Rugby Football Union (R.F.U.) over arguments about 'broken-time' payments and formed the Northern Rugby Football Union (N.U.); similar arguments in Australia led to the formation of the New South Wales Rugby League (N.S.W.R.L.) in 1907; over the subsequent decades, changes to the laws of the game, enacted by the N.U. and the N.S.W.R.L. evolved a distinctive form of rugby football, known throughout the world from 1922 by its Australian title: Rugby League. However, possibly fewer fans will be aware of precisely why the broken-time debate could not be resolved, or why the breakaway bodies felt compelled to change the laws of the game to such an extent. In Rugby's Great Split, Tony Collins (currently, the official R.L. archivist) provides answers to these questions which should be of interest to R.L. supporters throughout the world.

Queensland Cup - Round 14 - Preview
THE two Seagulls teams remain on top of the Queensland Cup ladder after 13 rounds with Tweed in most danger of being toppled this weekend. Wynnum Seagulls kick off the weekend with the ABC televised clash against Central Comets at Kougari Oval and Wynnum should win against a team that has won just four times in 13 starts this season. Admittedly one of those wins was against Tweed Seagulls at their citadel at Piggabeen, but it is hard to imagine a repeat performance this weekend. Central are coming off a one point loss to Norths in Rockhampton with Norths Kiwi halfback, Marty Turner proving the difference with a field goal. Norths play Tweed in a ?Big Sunday? of football this weekend and a top crowd should be on hand at Bishop Park particularly as the Broncos have a bye. Also on Sunday Ipswich host Redcliffe at Bendigo Bank Oval, the 2002 grand finalists coming together for what should be a torrid match particularly as both sides have lost their last two clashes. In the other Sunday match Burleigh Bears play Wests at Pizzey Park, Miami with Wests chasing their first win of the season. If Burleigh win as expected it will take them to 19 points, putting them ahead of either Redcliffe or Ipswich who also go into this round on 17 points. We have not forgotten about the other two Saturday matches. The first is at Langlands Park at 3pm between the Easts Tigers and Souths Logan Magpies and Easts (12) should keep in touch with the top five by toppling the Magpies. At 6pm at Stadium Toowoomba the Clydesdales play the North Queensland Young Guns in what shapes as the best match of the weekend. Toowoomba are in clear second place on 19 points, one behind Wynnum and Tweed Heads. North Queensland are seventh, three points outside the top five, but they have a terrific for and against and except for bad luck would be much higher up the ladder. Best wishes to the XXXX Queensland State of Origin team as they try to square the series in Sydney on Wednesday night. The curtain-raiser is the inter-state under 17 clash and our young Maroons will be looking to gain revenge for last year?s loss at this level. Also on Wednesday the Queensland under 15 Schoolboys side will play NSW at Moree. Next Thursday an Australian Rugby League Board meeting will be held in Sydney.

Monday, October 13, 2003Charleston, S.C. (October 13, 2003) -- The Southern Conference women's basketball coaches have selected East Tennessee State seniors Lauren Trantham (Asheville, N.C.) and Kiya Verdell (Hartwell, Ga.) to the preseason all-conference team, while ETSU was picked to finish 10th overall by the league's coaches and media. Trantham, a 6-foot-1 forward, averaged a double-double in scoring (11.2 ppg) and rebounding (10.1 rpg) during the 2002-03 season and was the top rebounder and shot blocker in the league. Verdell, a 5-foot-9 guard, led the Lady Bucs in scoring last season (12.3 ppg) and was among the league leaders in scoring, rebounding, assists, steals and blocked shots. "Lauren's and Kiya's selections were well-deserved," said ETSU head coach Karen Kemp from the conference's annual tipoff event in Charleston, S.C. "I can't put in to words how much Lauren has meant to this program, and Kiya is one of the best all-around athletes in the entire Southern Conference." Chattanooga was the only other conference member to have two players represented in the pre-season squad. The Mocs, last year's regular-season and tournament champions, were selected to win the conference title in both the coaches and media polls, while Furman and Western Carolina finished second and third, respectively. The Lady Bucs received 24 points in the coaches balloting and picked up 70 points from the media, while placing ahead of Wofford in both polls. "It doesn't matter where you are picked in the preseason," said Kemp. "If you are picked higher, then you have a little more pressure on you -- they are the hunted and we are the hunters. I can't wait to see how our players will react." East Tennessee State finished with an overall record of 9-19 last year, and was 6-12 in conference play, including upset victories over Georgia Southern and Western Carolina at Memorial Center. ETSU returns seven players from last year's team. The Lady Bucs first home game of 2003-04 will be an exhibition against the National Women's Basketball League on Nov. 23, and they will open their regular season at Temple on Nov. 28. Practice for ETSU will begin this Saturday. 2003-04 Women's Basketball Coaches Preseason Team Kiki Conyers, Appalachian State Miranda Warfield, Chattanooga Heather McDivitt, Chattanooga Emily Callahan, Davidson Kiya Verdell, East Tennessee State Lauren Trantham, East Tennessee State Deshara Shealey, Furman Shawnica Hill, Georgia Southern Jacinda Lambert, UNC Greensboro Tiffany Hamm, Western Carolina Preseason Player of the Year: Deshara Shealey, Furman 2003-04 Women's Basketball Coaches Preseason Poll 1.

Essential Wedding Invitation Dos and Don'ts
- Do allow plenty of time. Plan enough time in your schedule to carefully address, assemble, and mail your invitations.
- Do get organized. Develop a system for addressing and mailing your invitations. Prepare by gathering the names and addresses of everyone on your guest list. Arrange each piece that goes into an invitation in a stack, in the order it will be picked up, assembled, and inserted into the envelope.
- Do ask for help. Invite friends, family or bridal attendants to help assemble invitations.
- Do use the names of all guests when possible. It is much warmer and more welcoming to use the correct names of those who will accompany your guests on invitations instead of "and guest."
- Do use correct titles. It's flattering when invitations are addressed correctly. This means using appropriate titles and spelling names correctly. When in doubt, ask before addressing.
- Don't forget to include any appropriate inserts, such as maps, directions or hotel information for out-of-town guests.
- Don't include registry or gift information with your invitation. It is in poor taste to insert a list of places where the bride and groom are registered or a checklist of the things they want and don't want.
- Don't use a standby guest list. When possible, invite your entire guest list at the same time rather than waiting to see how many people accept before sending out a second round of invitations. When the guest list is carefully planned, and when you consider the likelihood that 10-20 percent of invited guests typically send regrets, this approach is much more straightforward than using a standby list.
- Don't use address labels for wedding invitations. Always address wedding invitation envelopes by hand, even when inviting hundreds of guests.

A Quantum Computing Approach to Test for Free Will in Humans.
Assuming the Big Bang to be the starting point of quantum entanglement, we now have the situation of a seemingly infinite number of entanglements that make our universe what it is. From this point of view every decision we make forms new entanglements and is due to prior entanglements. If that is so, there is no free will, but merely the consequence of prior entanglements.
To test this assumption quantum computers could do the trick. An algorithm (AI) that draws on a subjects personality, life-history and some environmental factors to predict future binary decision could give an insight on how prior entanglements are predictive to new entanglements. To train the algorithm several subjects are needed to verify on binary decisions the computer clone of each subject made.
Thanks to quantum computing such an algorithm could be able to finish computing within our lifetime. There are several more advantages that come along with quantum computers for this kind of machine learning.
Now: If the accuracy for binary decision making predictions of this algorithm is significantly greater than 0.5 (pure chance for any binary decision), it can be said, that there is no free will.
I think to resolve the question of free will in humans is essential in understanding the purpose we are serving. This approach is relatively cost effective, as a small number of subjects would suffice to test the hypothesis. The costs would reside with the time to develop a proper algorithm as well as the hardware. Nevertheless there are ethical constraints to this approach, as the subjects would have to share a lot of very personal data. Furthermore if the hypothesis was tested to be true I assume there would be tremendous effects on society.
I would love to hear your opinion on this topic. Maybe someone can point out similar experiments or approaches I missed so far in my research.
edward long
Apr 24 2013: Once you "prove" there is no free will we can stop holding people accountable for their actions, repeal all laws and close all prisons. Eat, drink and be merry, after all, why would we be accountable for doing something The Entanglements forced us to do? When we ask if our universe is merely a petrie dish we prove it is not. The big advantage of quantum methods is to be free from the classical requirement for absolute, repeatable, measurable precision.
- +1
Apr 25 2013: Hi Edward, you are right: If there is no free will, some people will take it as reason to reject being accountable for their actions. But those people would take anything as reason to argue that way, I believe. "Eat, drink and be merry, after all, why would we be accountable for doing something [external circumstances socioeconomic status, education, society in general] forced us to do?", this is how some persons argue already (!).
The petrie dish reminded me of the problem of a fish to discover water. However, we discovered that there is air around us. Is it really impossible to discover the structure of our universe then? A nice non-scientific illustration can be found in the movie 'The Truman Show'.
There has never been an absolute, repeatable, measurable precision in measurements to begin with. The time axis has to be taken into consideration. The exact same experiment in some specific place in universe would have had different results some billion years ago, I assume. Thus I think we can use quantum mechanics for "precise" measurements as well.
Apr 25 2013: You will have to take-up the idea of precise quantum measurements with Mr. Heisenberg. But, hey, isn't free will a matter for philosophers and theologians to squabble about? Natural science might confirm supernatural truth but it will never discover it. Thank you for a thought-provoking post sir!
Apr 25 2013: Thanks for the hint on Mr. Heisenberg! I will take a look at his precise quantum measurements.Apr 24 2013: Such an algorithm is just impossible (or at least imparctical) to develop. Even assuming everything in the universe is deterministic, our lives change in just one second, in ways we did not plan or expect, by things that seem to be random and which cannot be predicted with even the most powerful computer physically possible, because in order to be able predict anything accurately you need to code a model of the whole universe. Imagine the guy who met his wife because a flat tire, just a small nail in the middle of the road was all what's needed to change the life of two persons for ever, their children wouldn't exist if that nail wouldn't have been there at the right moment. Whether we like it or not our decisions are influenced in some measure by the people around us, meeting someone can have a tremendous impact in our lives in the long run. Life is plenty of those things we call "accidents", that seem to happen randomly and can change our situation and decisions dramatically in just a blink of the eye. So without all the information required to predict those accidents no accurate result can be achieved.
Apr 24 2013: I agree with this answer, life is too serendipitous for us to be able to assume predictability. Basically you are attempting to find the entanglements - or at least to analyze what data (life) we have now to discover congruencies, which I think is a great idea in fields other than sociology or psychology.
For example we do this sort of thing I've noticed with inventions - what has worked here in time for the ancients may be formidible nowadays with a minor change. I guess I don't see the point in trying to find what little congruencies or entanglements that we can through study of people's lives - that is the one area where there actually is free will and I think we should leave it alone.
Apr 25 2013: Hi Kendl, I think it is a great idea to also pay close attention to non-human, non-living entities in regards to entanglements. However to test for free will, only humans subjects are applicable.
I do not agree to 'leave alone' any topic, because it stops me from learning.Apr 25 2013: Hi George, I agree that it is impractical to reconstruct the universe from scratch with current technology and resources! Nevertheless I think we are capable to remodel parts of the universe in a way that predictions higher than chance can be made. Personally I think there is no true randomness. Assume an aparatus that tosses a coin in a controlled, stable environment. If the aparatus acts the same, the coin will always show for example head. My point is, that perceived randomness of an event is always the result of a number of known and unknown factors. The more unknown factors that contribute to an event, the more 'random' the event appears to us.
Apr 30 2013: Maybe the universe is deterministic, may be not. But if you are familiar with the chaos theory you may know that even in fully deterministic systems, long therm predictions are impossible. Knowing all the facts, causes and consequences does not make you able to forecast any future state of the system, beyond certain point in time. In other words the accuracy of your predictions depend on the time span between the initial conditions and the point in time which you want to predict, which means you loose accuracy as you grow the time span. The point in which you reach zero accuracy may be years away or just few hours depending on the complexity of the system.
Apr 30 2013: You are bringing up an important aspect, thanks! Do you think that predictions for an immediate response to a problem / decision making process would be sufficient - if accuracy is higher than chance - to make a case against free will and for determinism?May 1 2013: nothing is impossibleMay 1 2013: Similar experiments :
1. Behavioral psychologists :emphasis was on environmental determinism
2. Humanists : emphasis was on freewill
3. Probability learning - Brunswick
how would you explain sudden insights that individuals show when they are encountered by a problem?
May 1 2013: Hi Atul, thanks for making the connections to similar experiments. Very helpful!
I would describe a sudden insight as a connection current data with stored data. The 'sudden' part is due to the fact that we sometimes need more information before we can actually grasp a concept.Apr 30 2013: Twin studies have always been useful to scientific research for understanding nature and nature. Let's consider the "Jim Twin."
"Jim Lewis and Jim Springer first met February 9, 1979, after 39 years of being separated. Both were very nervous at first, but now consider the reunion "the most important day of my life." Amid the euphoria over their rediscovery of each other, they came across astonishing similarities in their lives and behavior. Both had been adopted by separate families in Ohio, and had grown up within 45 miles of each other. Both had been named James by their adoptive parents, both had married twice; first to women named Linda and second to women named Betty. Both had children, including sons named James Allan. Both had at one time owned dogs named Toy."
Apr 30 2013: What you describe is not as miraculous as one might think. You consider only the event for 'Jim Twins' but do not consider all the cases of not-'Jim Twins'. The later number and probability is way higher, which in turn makes the first event more probable for each case of not-'Jim Twins' observed - or better said not observed because those cases simply are 'normal'. Pure statistics.
May 1 2013: Did you ever read, "The Foundation" by Isaac Asimov? In it he introduces the idea of "psychohistory."
Psychohistory depends on the idea that, while one cannot foresee the actions of a particular individual, the laws of statistics as applied to large groups of people could predict the general flow of future events. Asimov used the analogy of a gas: an observer has great difficulty in predicting the motion of a single molecule in a gas, but can predict the mass action of the gas to a high level of accuracy. (Physicists know this as the Kinetic theory.) Asimov applied this concept to the population of his fictional Galactic Empire, which numbered a quintillion. The character responsible for the science's creation, Hari Seldon, established two axioms:
that the population whose behaviour was modeled should be sufficiently large
that the population should remain in ignorance of the results of the application of psychohistorical analyses
There is a third underlying axiom of Psychohistory, which is trivial and thus not stated by Seldon in his Plan:
that Human Beings are the only sentient intelligence in the Galaxy.
May 1 2013: I am not sure where you are heading with your post. Can you try and clarify, please?Apr 27 2013: Hi.
Could your idea be applicable to assessing (for the good), just how brainwashed humans are?
Say, Americans or even those of any country?
By "for the good", I mean waking them up so that they can once more reason accurately, quickly and clearly in order to see or find the truth, and that they may then more readily take the appropriate action necessary that learning the truth compels them to do.
Apr 27 2013: Hi. You assume people to want to be waken up, I do not think that is true in the first place (pessimistic and sad truth, at least for my part). Further I think if my hypothesis was tested to be true it would rather have devastating effects in regards to people seeking the truth. Those who are not engaged in truth seeking for now won't be later or anytime (this is the greater number of world population I assume). Those who are engaged in truth seeking will split in two groups either making sense of the findings and redefining purpose of life in the light of the findings or growing desperate, as they realize that there is no purpose to making changes because we are not in charge.
However the group of truth seekers is limited to very few privileged people, mostly with financial power and access to higher education and sophisticated knowledge. I believe that the only group that wants to be waken up is this small group of truth seekers.Apr 27 2013: somthing that might be unquantifiable is the soul. if there is a part of us that takes faith to know about and cant be proven know matter how fast your computer changes it will never catch the part where you need faith to grow. even if everything is calculated. if there is a box and inside the box is the universe and somthing is outside the box acting on whats happening inside the box then youll never be able to calculated everthing inside the box because you cant see the changes happening from the force outside the box. so in order to see the force on the outside you have to have faith that there is a force. and so on and so forth you will always need to have that faith to grow.
Apr 27 2013: What is the 'soul'? We are dipping in the mind-brain problem. However I think there actually is not split of mind and brain as lastest neuroscience proposes.
You are right however, that we will never be able to get ALL the factors straight. That is a problem of the boxes you described.This is exactly why we need to 'think outside of the box' ! I am with you that there are bigger boxes, and that is why we should find ways to break out of the system in our strive to understand the universe and, if you wanted to phrase is religiously, get closer to god.Apr 24 2013: Boas,
Very interesting post.
(BANG) was governed by rules. Therefore, if all actions are based on that set of rules...we don't really have a say in anything. We are just along for the ride.
Eventually Earth came into existence because it had to. It was going to happen because of the laws being applied to matter.
The moment matter began to move, and was governed by laws, it started to pave the way to life.
Here's the problem with computers. Programs are going to select actions based on the set of variables you program. They cannot learn on their own. Even if they can absorb information they will not update the frame they put information into.
(Computer - (LOGIC SET)
You would have to manually update this (LOGIC SET) or (FRAME) in which the information obtained is understood. Humans do this themselves. We only need information. We already understand how to apply the information we obtain.

Apr 25 2013: Hi Henry, the first part is pretty much, what am trying to understand. About the second part on computer programs: Take a look at machine learning and you will see that it is common practice to create self-refining programs. That is programs are able to modify there code and by that learn and advance autonomously on a set of preset laws. That is pretty much the same as you described in the first part.
Apr 25 2013: They can only modify their code based on a program. So that means...they are limited in their ability to modify anything.
They are self refining programs within a programmed list of data.
They are not able to refine the refining program.. Therefore, this refining program may become obsolete in turn making the entire system outdated.
The only refining program that will not be outdated...is a human (programmer).
Apr 27 2013: Yes, there still are certain limitations. However we are getting unexpected results from computer intelligence already. Still, you are correct in the human to be the better 'program' as for now! ;-)
If you are interested send me a message, then I will fill you in on some of the latest research on machine learning as soon as I got more time to get to it.

I recently purchased an older Synchrowave 250 that is in very good shape. The owners manual lists a part with number for a Pulse Control. Part# 042-297.
I am being told that this part is obsolete and is not available. Does anyone know of a place where I would be able to purchase this part. I think that the company should supply suitable parts like these instead of forcing us to buy new equipment all the time. JMHO.
Thanks and have a great day.

This might be a bit more risqué than your normal opera.
"The Pearl Fishers" is set on a beach and the soprano is in what Nashville Opera director John Hoomes describes as an "I Dream of Jeannie"-like costume.
The soprano, Heather Buck, who is making her Nashville Opera debut, said with a laugh, "Having seen a picture of my costume, I will tell you I've been working out my abs extra lately."
Oh, and in the final act, female ballet dancers in Xena Warrior Princess-like costumes will kill the baritone.
"I wrote to the Nashville Ballet: 'At the end of this, I think it'd be nice if the ballet women came on and stabbed the baritone to death," Hoomes said, laughing.
"I got an email back from (ballet director) Paul Vasterling — 'We never get to kill anybody in ballet! This sounds fabulous!' "
While Hoomes and his female lead are having some fun with staging and rehearsals, the Nashville Opera is quite serious about presenting the beautiful, lush music and production found in "The Pearl Fishers," often called "Carmen" composer Georges Bizet's "other opera."
"This is very real and very passionate," Hoomes said. "That's one reason I picked it."
The other is that the Nashville Opera put on "The Pearl Fishers" a decade or so ago, and fans have been clamoring for a repeat performance.
What did fans like?
"They connected to the piece itself, the emotion, passion, intensity," Hoomes said. "The music is stunningly beautiful."
And the story is a plain ol' love triangle, albeit a lush, exotic one.
The pearl fishers along a beach in Sri Lanka chose Zurga (baritone Craig Verm) to be their king, and during the celebration, his former friend Nadir (tenor Harold Meers) appears.
The two reveal that a woman came between them (Leila, played by Buck), and they vow to never let that happen again.
Alas, Leila re-emerges as the virgin priestess and, well, it all falls apart after that.
The opera features one of its most recognizable pieces, a baritone-tenor duet, within the first 10 minutes or so, a piece later featured prominently in the 2000 Johnny Depp movie "The Man Who Cried."
'Passion gets involved'
It may take audience members a few minutes to acclimate to the piece, Hoomes said, as it has the look of a Tarzan movie, complete with spear-wielding natives, "and exquisitely delicate French music in the background," Hoomes said.
"If you can get your head around that in the first 10 minutes, you'll be fine," he said.
For Buck, it will be her second time in two years to tackle the role of Leila; the first time was for the Virginia Opera.
"I think she's a very compelling character — sweet and well-intentioned and trying to do the right thing," Buck said. "But passion gets involved."
And then there's the music.
"It's almost as though it's in Technicolor, it's so lush. I keep thinking it's very cinematic," Buck said, and that's a nifty move since the composer wrote the piece nearly a century before cinema existed.
"He was way before his time. The music tells so vividly the story of the love triangle," Buck said.
Hoomes says large sets and grand staging with the Nashville Ballet dancers will add to the music.
"They dance the fiery dance of death at the beginning. It's very cool,"
Hoomes said.
As for that "I Dream of Jeannie"-ish costume? No problem for Buck.
"I've been on stage scantily clad in the past," she said. "The temptation is to be self-conscious. But part of my job is to delude myself into becoming this other person, this character.
"When you're in a costume, you're trying not to be in a costume. It should be that you are the character as they are."

The world's most successful Porsche GT3 racer – Craig Baird – has taken out the Porsche Carrera Cup round at the 2011 Formula 1 Qantas Australian Grand Prix.
The Albert Park round was the first for the re-born Carrera Cup, which has been on hiatus in this country since 2009. And Baird did it reasonably easily, winning two of the three races to win the round by a whopping 30 points.
Behind him, Daniel Gaunt and Steven Richards finished equal second for the round, having finished second and third respectively in today's final race.
Interestingly, it was a New Zealand 1-2-3 for the round, with Baird and Gaunt renewing rivalry that has been in full swing during the NZ Porsche GT3 Cup Challenge over the summer.
"I am ecstatic with this result, as Bairdo is no slug in these things so to get beaten by him is no disgrace," said Gaunt.
"We have been getting more and more competitive as the weekend goes on, which is a huge relief for the team after just a few days of preparation.
"I hope to be competing in the rest of the rounds – I've just got to find a few more bucks to make it happen."
Behind the three leaders, the final was a straightforward race. Mark Skaife was fourth, while Michael Patrizi capped off a remarkable comeback after his massive Friday crash to finish fifth. Behind them, Max Twigg continued to be the best of the non-professional drivers, finishing sixth.
Race 1 winner Jonny Reid's bad luck continued in the final, with him and Ben Barker getting together on just the second lap of the race.
The incident took Reid out of contention for the race and the round, dropping him to 16th at the end, while Barker recovered to finish eighth.

Give a 256 bit key space and 128 message space would AES block cipher as the encryption scheme be CPA secure?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Cryptography Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for software developers, mathematicians and others interested in cryptography. It's 100% free, no registration required.
You are mistaken about what an encryption scheme is. As CodeInChaos pointed out AES is a primitive and we assume that it is a preudo random permutation. That is an assumption since the way AES is built means that we won't be able to formally prove that it is one. With that PRP we try to build modes of encryption that might or might not be CPA-secure I encourage you to read Mihir Bellare course notes and especially the chapters about Symmetric encryption and pseudo random functions http://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~mihir/cse207/
Using AES with a random oracle IV as in CBC mode or using a unique nonce as in CTR constrction will result in a CPA secure construction. You cannot play with the size of the key. The key is strictly defined in each mode.

once the locals put in the tee pads (rumored to be happening over the next two months), this course has the potential of being one of the best courses in CT. great design went into each hole. true golf shots on every hole, no quirky holes anywhere. each hole can easily be a "swing" hole come tournament time.

A Fun course to play. The underbrush through the woods is a bit thick, and one of the things that keeps this course from getting a higher score. The Tee Pads leave something to be desired, I am not a big fan of natural Pads. After the recent rains it made for some slippery drives. I got lost on hole 5 and had to scout out a bit to find the right direction to throw my disc. I really liked the how the terrain was used, and the stone walls that run through out the course.

I like the design of the course. You have a choice to play the front 9 or the back 9 which is handy if you don't have a lot of time. This park receives a decent amount of traffic including runners, mountain bikers, and even some dirt bikers. Yeah, definitely watch out for the prickly brush.

played for the first time today. only got to play the front nine because of the time. It took longer then I thought. I am hooked!

A nice course - well marked and challenging holes, definitely recommended!

Cool course, but could use tee boxes. Lots lots of glass and cans on the ground, needs regular cleaning.

great layout love the rocks around the pin placement. the only thing the course needs is garbage and a little clean up after hurricane sandy!!!

I'm working on building a new trailer for hauling my 4 wheeler and a friends around. I have the 60/40 rule for axle placement but is there a rule for trailer tongue length.

trailer tongue lenght
The longer the better esp for backing up. I remember those old 2 horse trailers from the 70's with the 3' V tongue man were they a pain to back up...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

I used to build trailers and there is no set tongue length, it depends on the entire length of the trailer and how far you want to be able to cut it, as far as the axle placement, I always found the center of the trailer and move back one inch for every foot of the trailer, this keep it pretty balanced

The tongue length depends a lot upon the width of the trailer at the front. A narrow trailer can have a shorter tongue while a squared off nose of a trailer 102" wide needs a five foot tongue if possible. This is because you need to have room for tight backing. You can't turn it very sharp without danger of damaging the front of the trailer and back of tow vehicle makes for a very unfun trailering event.

In general, on a small trailer like you are building, you need a minimum of four feet between the front of the trailer and the front of the hitch.

Measure from the center of the ball to the farthest outside point on the bumper of the widest rig you plan on pulling it with. That'll give you the absolute minimum tongue length, unless you don't care if the corner of the trailer clears the bumper. Add an inch or three for fudge factor and ease of backing and it always comes out to four feet plus.

Hi Guys,
I just finished making my first welding V-block. I need a bunch of these for a project and just couldn't buy them where I live. Frustration leads to invention - and I thought I would share.
The base is 1X2" channel. I welded on some 1" angle and spaced it off the side by the thickness of my square. This left a gap in the middle for the 2" angle. I carefully ground the top of the channel and the base of the angle flat with my 12" disk sander. I put on an inch of weld to hold things in place as I didn't want to warp the angle.
Then I cut out the fillet in the angle and ground the front and back flat.
Here's the finished project. I tested the top of the 2" angle and it was perfectly level with my bench - close enough for welding.

Thank you for this fabulous fifth edition!
The 5th edition of CineGlobe, International Film Festival at CERN, was a resounding success! The audience, filmmakers and guests met at the heart of the world's largest particle physics laboratory to celebrate the convergence of art, film and science! This year, for the official short film competition, 57 films were selected from over 900 submissions from around the globe.
The festival was held from the 24th to 29th March 2015 at the Globe of Science and Innovation at CERN and welcomed over 3000 spectators during the six days of the festival. The public responded extremely positively to the programme of short films, workshops and special events dedicated to the convergence of film and dance, digital arts and new technologies, such as Oculus Rift.
This year, the public was able to experience unique 360-degree projections thanks to a geodesic planetarium dome erected for the first time at CERN. Finally, CineGlobe, in partnership with Festival Tous Ecrans, launched for the second consecutive year a Hackathon on "Storytelling Science," this time with the virtual reality headset Oculus Rift. The results of the Hackathon will be presented during the next edition of Festival Tous Ecrans.

Reward your Spontaneity with d3o™
d3o™ belongs to the "smart materials" category and is a futuristic material with abnormal behavior characteristics. More specifically, d3o™ changes its behavior under dynamic loading or impact. Integrated in the lay-up and positioned in the shaft area where the racquet flexes the most, d3o™ maximizes performance and offers new possibilities for players.
d3o™ is able to sense the needs of the player during different strokes. It is able to adapt to YOU. On high speed impacts (aggressive shots), the smart molecules lock together within nano seconds and dramatically increase the stiffness of the racquet to provide maximum power. On slow speed impacts (slices or drop shots), the smart molecules absorb the impact to provide a softer touch for better feel. What does this mean to a tennis player? Passing shots are even harder and drop shots have even more precision rewarding your spontaneity and supporting your courageous decisions.

A visit with Susan @ A Southern Daydreamer will be time well spent. You can see all the different Outdoor Wednesday posts.
These photos were taken over the last 12 days up around our cabin in the Princeton area. Ignore the date on the camera as my BB guy has no idea how to change the date and it is his work camera.
These guys range in age from 13 to about 57 years old but they still have one thing in common. They love the outdoors. Our sons were not there but our friend was there with his young son and our other friend was there with his grown son.
They eat like kings (I taught him everything he knows about cooking) and they travel through the mountain sides on roads that trucks can't get through. And they have fun. Dirty, grimy fun.
Well that is all I can say because you couldn't pay me enough to go along on one of these rides.

Hybrid Trainer Customer Review
The Hybrid Trainer is not currently available.Continue shopping
So far so good!
By abc123 (Pennsylvania) on Jun 3, 2013
Comments: We have had this for about two weeks now and so far I am happy with it. I had a gym membership but I work crazy hours all week, and finding time to get to the gym was always difficult. Now I can just drive home from work and get my workout! I love the bike/elliptical combo. Set up was easy, it took my husband and I about an hour to assemble and the instructions are very well written with good pictures. The box is pretty huge and about 200 pounds maybe a little less, so you definitely need two people to move it. The only thing I'm not really happy with is the display. There is nowhere to enter your weight so calories burned is probably inaccurate. It also doesn't light up, that isn't an issue to me though. Also the heart rate monitors aren't the best. At first we thought they were broken, but I realized if you put your hands towards the bottom of the grips, it will read your heart rate. Whether or not it is accurate I am not sure. Overall this is a nice piece of equipment. This is our first exercise machine purchase so I don't have anything to compare it to, other than what I've seen at the gym.

Don't get us wrong; there's certainly no shortage of stylish ladies in S.F. — but we do have to give credit where credit's due. And we must admit, we're continually impressed (sometimes floored!) with the ensembles some of our local fellas put together. With top-of-the-line menswear stores popping up left, right, and center, it's no surprise that the men's style scene is a force to be reckoned with. And we're pulling inspiration from it at every turn.
We took to the streets to snap 13 local dudes in all of their classic-cool, heritage-inspired glory. So, are you ready to shine the sartorial spotlight on the guys this time? Have a look-see and we dare you not to want to borrow every one of these getups.
