Artificial Intelligence and Creativity: An Interdisciplinary Approach / Edition 1by T. Dartnall
View All Available Formats & Editions
Pub. Date: 12/09/2010
Publisher: Springer Netherlands
Creativity is one of the least understood aspects of intelligence and is often seen as 'intuitive' and not susceptible to rational enquiry. Recently, however, there has been a resurgence of interest in the area, principally in artificial intelligence and cognitive science, but also in psychology, philosophy, computer science, logic, mathematics, sociology, and architecture and design. This volume brings this work together and provides an overview of this rapidly developing field. It addresses a range of issues. Can computers be creative? Can they help us to understand human creativity? How can artificial intelligence (AI) enhance human creativity? How, in particular, can it contribute to the 'sciences of the artificial', such as design? Does the new wave of AI (connectionism, geneticism and artificial life) offer more promise in these areas than classical, symbol-handling AI? What would the implications be for AI and cognitive science if computers could not be creative?
These issues are explored in five interrelated parts, each of which is introducted and explained by a leading figure in the field.
- Prologue (Margaret Boden)
- Part I: Foundational Issues (Terry Dartnall)
- Part II: Creativity and Cognition (Graeme S. Halford and Robert Levinson)
- Part III: Creativity and Connectionism (Chris Thornton)
- Part IV: Creativity and Design (John Gero)
- Part V: Human Creativity Enhancement (Ernest Edmonds)
- Epilogue (Douglas Hofstadter)
For researchers in AI, cognitive science, computer science, philosophy, psychology, mathematics, logic, sociology, and architecture and design; and anyone interested in the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence and creativity.

BOSTON - Nelson Pritchett's death sentence came in the form of a question.
"You've heard of Lou Gehrig's disease?" the doctor said.
Pritchett had gone to the doctor that December day in 1999 for what he thought was a pinched nerve. Suddenly, at age 57, he had two years to live.
That night, in his bed in Gainesville, Fla., Pritchett lay awake. He wasn't afraid to die, he said later, but dying this way scared him. The neurological disease would gradually paralyze him. The retired air traffic controller would completely lose control of his own body.
He vowed to end it before it got to that point. Death was inevitable, Pritchett said, but suffering should be optional.
Later, in the advanced stages of his illness, Pritchett would take his case to the nation. He would become the face of the right-to-die movement. That's when something happened that he never expected.
In his fight for the right to die, Nelson Pritchett found a reason to live.
The day after the doctor's visit, Pritchett called his sons, Eric and Brian, in Boston, to break the news.
For more than a decade, his relationship with them had been strained. But now, Brian and Eric resolved to put old resentments behind them. Over Christmas in Florida, the Pritchetts sat down to discuss options. Nelson refused to enter a nursing home but was interested in moving in with Eric.
Eric, 27, struggled with his reluctance. "He is an extremely difficult person to live with," he later said, pointing to Nelson's two divorces.
So Eric laid down ground rules. He wouldn't sacrifice his business career to become a fulltime caregiver. Nelson would need to arrange for help from health aides and support groups.
Nelson set about wrapping up his affairs in Gainesville. He also started speaking out on physician-assisted suicide in his local paper.
Before his diagnosis, Pritchett's passion was running. He had jogged 30 miles a week and had run in races in New York, Honolulu, and many places between. He decided to make one last run, a 5K in his hometown.
He'd been running only a few minutes when he tripped and fell to the pavement, scraping his knees and arms. Moments later, he pitched forward and scraped his face. Over the next few months, even his walk became unsteady.
Eric found a two-bedroom apartment in a high-rise near Boston College, and in August, his father moved in. In a spiralbound notebook, Nelson started writing a book for the grandchildren he would never see. He wrote down his memories and his thoughts on life. He made a list of books he wanted them to read.
"This could very well be MY OBITUARY," he scrawled on the first page.
He endowed a scholarship in his name at his alma mater, Southern Mississippi University. He established a trust there so Brian could go back for his degree.
In the summer of 2001, Nelson traveled to Georgia to pick out his tombstone. His ashes would be buried in a family plot. The inscription chiseled into his marker would be: "Thanks for stopping by."
Nelson also got in touch with the Hemlock Society, the country's oldest right-to-die group. The group promises that if someone wants to commit suicide, he or she will not die alone.
Nelson had read, "Tuesdays with Morrie," the bestselling book on the final year of life of a Lou Gehrig's patient. He wouldn't allow himself to end up like Morrie, barely able to speak or move.
Nelson dismissed moral objections to suicide, labeling religious leaders, "soothsayers." Still, he insisted he believed in God and Jesus.
In November, he told Leo Johnson, a Hemlock volunteer who visited weekly, that he had made his peace. He was ready to go.
About that time, U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft issued a directive threatening doctors who prescribed lethal doses of federally controlled drugs with loss of their licenses. He was targeting Oregon, the only state that permits assisted suicide.
Oregon challenged the measure, and a judge issued a temporary injunction. He scheduled a ruling for spring. Hemlock mobilized for battle. Pritchett realized he could help. Hemlock board members eagerly took him on.
He would have to postpone his death, Pritchett told Johnson. He had things to do now. In late November, Nelson flew to Washington for a news conference.
"The last time I was in Washington was in 1994 for the Marine Corps marathon, one of 21 marathons I've run," he told reporters. "Now I can't hardly do anything . . . I'm totally dependent on others."
When the time came, he would starve himself, he said. "That's not a good way to go, I'm told, but I have no choice."
Back in Boston, Nelson was now confined to his bedroom. He weighed less than 120 pounds, compared to his former running weight of 165.
As the second Christmas after his diagnosis approached, friends had to open his greeting cards and hold them for him to read. They wondered when he would carry out his plan.
Not yet, he told Johnson, his Hemlock volunteer. He wanted one last Christmas.
December came and went. By January, the man who so valued control had lost most of it. But Pritchett had been undergoing a change. Pritchett's advocacy for the right to die had given his life new purpose, said Elaine McMillen, a Hemlock volunteer and friend. "The PR stuff is his reason for continuing. He wants people to know."
He remained upbeat for visitors. He still had a lot of life left to live, he confided to a guest in mid-January.
"I don't want to check out early," he said.
On Jan. 20, Nelson spent the day watching a Florida Gator highlight marathon on ESPN. He marveled at the beauty of the snow outside. In the evening, he had dinner with Eric. As it got later, Eric left to meet some friends. Nelson went to bed.The next morning, Eric went to his father's room. His face was obscured by the pillow.
Eric rolled him over. His skin felt cold. In the end, Nelson Pritchett had neither the death that he planned nor the one that he feared.
He went peacefully in his sleep.

California's "Doing Business" Standard Requires Neither Any "Doing" Nor Any "Business" in California
Stephen A. Burroughs
Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP - Atlanta Office
Pilar Mata
Sutherland Asbill & Brennan LLP - Washington Office
August 19, 2014
Previously published on August 13, 2014
The California Franchise Tax Board (FTB) issued a legal ruling determining that it will attribute the business activities of a multiple-member limited liability company classified as a partnership for tax purposes (LLC) to its members when determining whether such members are "doing business" in California. As a result, out-of-state business entities that own a membership interest in an LLC doing business in California will be subject to tax themselves. In reaching this determination, the FTB acknowledged that LLCs share characteristics with both partnerships and corporations but determined that LLCs that do not "check the box" for federal tax purposes are considered partnerships under California tax law. Because "the activities of [a] partnership are attributed to each partner," the FTB concluded that "if an LLC...is 'doing business' in California [then] the members of the LLC are themselves 'doing business' in California." The FTB declined to extend the exception provided to limited partnerships in
Amman & Schmid Finanz AG, et al
., 96-SBE-008, April 11, 1996, to LLCs on the ground that, unlike limited partners, LLC members have the statutory right to manage or control the decision-making process of the entity. The legal ruling includes six examples. The first two examples find that an LLC merely registering to do business or organizing in California is not actively engaging in a transaction for the purpose of financial gain or profit attributable to its members, and therefore will not create a filing requirement for its members. The other examples demonstrate that the FTB will consider a member of an LLC to be doing business in California if the LLC is commercially domiciled in California or has activities or factor presence in California sufficient to constitute "doing business" within the meaning of Cal. Rev. & Tax. Code § 23101. The ruling has come under criticism from practitioners not only disagreeing with the ruling's substantive conclusions but also its timing, as the FTB is actively litigating related issues in the California courts. California FTB Legal Ruling 2014-01 (July 22, 2014).

The continued push to smaller geometries, higher frequencies, and larger chip sizes rapidly resulted in an incompatibility between interconnect needs and projected interconnect performance. As stated in the 2003 International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS'03) report, revolutionary interconnect methodologies such as radio frequency (RF)/wireless will deliver the foreseen progress in semiconductor technology. Recent advances in silicon integrated circuit technique are making possible tiny low-cost transceivers to be integrated on chip, namely "radio-on-chip" (ROC) technology. This paper proposes the idea of using wireless radios to transmit test data and control signals to resolve the acerbated core accessibility problem. Three types of wireless test micronetworks are first presented, i.e., miniature wireless local area network (LAN), multihop wireless test control network (MTCNet), and distributed multihop MTCNet. Then, the test control overhead and system resource partitioning in on-chip wireless micronetworks are analyzed. Several challenging system design problems such as RF node placement, core clustering, and control routing are studied, and the test control resources (i.e., the on-chip RF nodes for intrachip communication) are properly distributed and system optimization is performed in terms of test control cost. A simulation study shows the feasibility and applicability of intrachip MTCNet

Although the quest for the Holy Grail may be a noble one sought by thousands over the years, the quest to perform deep throat is one undoubtedly attempted by millions. Here, six cuties do a fine job of going balls-deep and getting guy's short and curlies jammed into their face.
Some just go at it straight on, some (like Angela, Anastasia, and Paris) do the old "on the back with their head thrown back for better dick access" routine, and all show potential to equal, or at least be a stand-in, for Lovelace's successors.

Definition of seersucker in English:
noun[mass noun]
A lightweight fabric with a crimped or puckered surface: a colourful seersucker summer jacket
More example sentences
- Key fabrics for spring include seersucker, ticking stripes and prints, as well as suede and leather, which are still very prevalent.
- Linen, seersucker and straw are to be worn in the summer only.
- They sell both seersucker and linen and to someone used to a Brooks Brothers' level of fit and finish, it's garbage.
Early 18th century: from Persian šir o šakar, literally 'milk and sugar', (by transference) 'striped cotton garment' because seersucker formerly was typically striped.

Incredible healing power
Posted by julynk on Dec 01, 2010
This is absolutely the best diaper cream ever. Smells wonderful, spreads like a charm and works unbelievably quickly to reduce a severe red weeping nappy rash. One of the pricier diaper creams but definitely worth it. I'm on my 5th tube already and stocking up.
Posted by Reviewer3345651 on Mar 15, 2011
Even the worst rush, goes away in 24-20 hrs
Gentle care
Posted by Reviewer2817262 on Feb 19, 2009
My wife and I have used this on our other two children and are know using it on our third. We have used regular retail chain diaper creams and they did not seem to work as well. Once we started using this cream I always made sure that we had an ample supply so we would not have to purchase the lesser quality stuff from a retail chain.
Great cream.
Posted by Reviewer2457504 on Dec 14, 2009
If you are going to use baby cream this is the one. I love it. More natural than other "butt paste" creams out there.
The best diaper cream ever!
Posted by Reviewer2998720 on Dec 27, 2009
We absolutely love this - wonderful smell, easy to spread and not too oily or gunky (like most zinc oxide creams) and best of all, it works like a charm to soothe my baby's sore bottom each time he has diarrheoa or has been sitting in a wet diaper for too long.
Great diaper ointment
Posted by Reviewer1293597 on Jul 21, 2010
This diaper ointment works great on my 2 kids!!! Thanks!!
the best ORGANIC diaper cream!
Posted by 5056761680146332723 on Aug 12, 2012
The fact that it's organic is the most important for me. Plus I trust the quality of Weleda products for babies. And finally in our family it's not just my baby who's using this product but also my Granny when in summer she has rashes on her skin due to the hot weather and these rashes gets healed very fast.
Posted by 5632030555632995588 on Mar 13, 2016
We have tried many other brands including A+D, Aveeno, Desitin, burts' bees but none of them heals diaper rash like Weleda does. Weleda contains calendula which helps reduces inflammation and helps healing. Wished I had found this product for my first born who had suffered too many diaper rashes
Great procuct!
Posted by 4757529252653755557 on May 04, 2016
I have used this on my little girl, and the rash she had on her but, goes away when using this for some days.
Posted by 5002101594673037890 on May 10, 2016
The smell is amazing, we're definitely a repeat customer for this. When he gets a bit red from a diaper rash, it goes away within two days.

Today I purchased your CP Donations Pro plugin for WP, and am using the Standard Donation widget.
I don't want there to be a comments textarea (or its label) in the widget; but there's no way to hide these that I can find.
Since they are not contained within their own div tag, I am unable to use the "Visibility: hidden" mod to the css rule - as this still leaves an open space, even though the label and textarea are hidden by this method.
My first thought is that you might want to add in a preference setting to disable comments.
My second thought is you might want to put these inside their own div tag - so at least this can be hidden completely - with no space left behind - using CSS.
Please advise on this.
Thank you.

The Best Old School Title on the PSP
Trails in the Sky is, looked at one way, a prosaic experience, it boasts nothing in terms of innovation, has a desperately dated graphical engine and utilises modes of play which were properly delineated some fifteen years ago. So... what makes this obscure title one of the most compelling games on the PSP?
Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky is a port of Japanese Roll Paying Game brought out for the PC about eight years ago. It is part of series of games which the developers (Falcom) have been popping out at regular intervals, the earlier titles which also saw conversion and translation were notoriously botched so Trails hardly came to the gaming world with a pedigree which commanded a great deal of confidence. And, at first glance there is really nothing special going on. The graphics boast tiny sprites moving around reasonably pleasant, but by no means exciting backgrounds, getting into fights which have nothing stellar in their presentation and then talking to one another. And boy is there a lot of talking. Trails has one of the most extensive scripts ever seen on a PSP title. Here the look of the game fares a bit better, as the talking heads do an excellent job in conveying the emotional status of the characters, which is just as well as the characters and their emotions are the heart of the game.
Estelle Bright and her adopted brother Joshua are junior Bracers in the country of Librel. What is a Bracer? Well imagine a private organisation which combined the services offered by the police, helping hands and the Citizens Advice Bureau. They take on any number of different jobs from clearing out monsters who roam the highways to looking for a child's missing rock. As it happens they're the children of Cassius Bright, one of the most senior Bracers and when their father goes on a trip and ends up missing, the plot is under way. It's a sizeable story, easily taking over fifty hours as Estelle and Joshua wonder the length and breath of the country looking to find out what has happened to Cassius. On the way they continue take on jobs in the various cities they visit and after a while an odd assortment of events begins to take shape and it's a worrying shape, one which may change the nature of Librel and the surrounding nations.
What makes all this work is the charm of the two leads: Estelle, the classic Red Oni of Japanese literature, impulsive, warm hearted, rash and given flashes of temper and Joshua, the Blue Oni, intelligent, detached, thoughtful, are a superb pair with which to share an adventure. They mix up the comedy and pathos with equal facility, which is helped no end by the vast array of supporting characters whom they meet on their journey. You have the somewhat their sometimes sadistic gypsy mentor; the lunatic foreign bard; the shy but dependable upper class school girl; a martial arts champion and many more. None of the people feel extraneous to the story and all of them fulfil their roles to a much greater extent than merely demanded by the plot. It is beautifully well written, perhaps the best writing I've ever seen in a JRPG, as, for the most part, it avoids heading into the tedious soap-opera territory common in the genre. Indeed, with the possible exception of Persona 4, it's hard to think of another recent example which shines so brightly, in this aspect.
The majority of the game play is made up of exploration and fighting in order to fulfil tasks you take on through the Bracer's Guild. The fighting system is not dissimilar to that found in Final Fantasy VII. Here, though, instead of materia you use orbments, crystals which give you powers. Some of the powers are expressed in terms of faster turns, or greater health and some are fire balls, or water jets. Each playable character can use up to six crystals and the combinations of them determine the type and strength of those powers. As a system it's both reasonably straight forward and surprisingly deep. You can still be find new and different possibilities on a second or even a third play through. You can change the crystals in and out any time you aren't in combat and there's a lot of fun to be had in discovering what power are available and how and where they should be used. Beyond orbment system there are plain physical attacks and then craft skills. the craft skills also come in several types. Some are higher powered physical attacks, either striking enemies more than once, or more than one enemy and some preform buffs and de-buffs. Above these are the s-craft skills which act much like the limit breaks from FFVII and are the most powerful of your characters abilities. All the craft skills take craft points, which built up in a reservoir during combat. The ordinary craft skills take a small to medium number of points, the s-crafts take all your remaining points and can only be used if you have 100 or more points at the time. The use of all these various combat techniques, the positioning of your characters and the enemies on the grid and the flow of turns with several different bonuses which can occur if your turn or the enemies happens to fall at a particular time, makes for a superb tactical experience.
The exploration, which you'll have to do not only to follow the main plot but also to fulfil your duty as Bracers, takes you across the whole country. However the game is split into chapters and you only ever explore one region at a time. Each region has a larger number of areas, surrounding a central town and you'll find yourself scurrying back and forth continuously. One of the benefits of the exploration is the generous number of chests to find with new weapons, armour and items. It's all in line with the classical tropes of rpgs, but here it's done as well as it ever has been. The game is just so balanced and so well constructed than you never feel that anything you find gives you an inappropriate advantage. On your first play-through you may discover some of the fight can be a tad brutal, as you have to work out tactics and, very occasionally, you might be under-leveled or under prepared for the area, but this is rare and the game discourages over-leveling as there is a steep drop off or experience points after you reach a certain point and you can only really progress your character further by going to new areas with harder monsters.
The sound design of the game is solid, if unexceptional, save for the occasional piece of music which is so well timed and plot important, that it really makes you take notice. The voice acting is sadly, though understandably, minimal; this is a huge game, for the PSP and if there had been a lot of voice files they would have struggled to fit the game onto a single disk.
Games like this often stand or fall in western markets by virtue of the localisation, certainly the work done on one of the earlier titles in this series showed the pitfalls which can occur. Here, however, XSeed Games should be highly commended. While it's impossible for me to know whether they stuck faithfully to the tone of the original, what can be said is that their staff cranked out a script that was witty, charming, romantic, practical and compelling. No small achievement. In fact the only complaint it's possible to lay at their door is the length of time that it's taking for them to release the sequel. (this is particularly galling given that the game ends on a ridiculously potent hook of a cliff hanger)
So that's Trails in the Sky. An unexceptional game? Well yes, if you don't count brilliant writing, charming characters, a plot which when it gets going keeps you fascinated all the way to the end and beyond, expertly balanced game-play and an over-all experience which greatly exceeds far bigger titles. If you're an owner of a PSP and not sure if you like turn based JRPGs then this is definetely the game to try, if you are already a fan and haven't played Trails in the Sky... then shame on you, this is a masterpiece of a game and deserves your money, time and devotion. It's a hugely impressive title and utterly deserving of five stars.

Altruism or incompetence?
The "problem" of altruism - at least in terms of evolutionary theory - was obvious even to Charles Darwin.
Writing in The Descent of Man in 1871 Darwin acknowledged that, "he who was ready to sacrifice his life, as many a savage has been, rather than betray his comrades, would often leave no offspring to inherit his noble nature."
It's a puzzle because the logic of natural selection leads us to expect animals to behave in ways that increase their chances of survival and reproductive success - to act selfishly.
And yet altruistic behaviour is common: when a bee stings it sacrifices itself for the good of the colony; vampire bats regularly regurgitate blood for others in the group; and Vervet monkeys scream out warnings of an approaching predator even though the calls give their own position away.
Darwin's own, somewhat tentative theory, was that altruism may have evolved as a result of inter-group rivalry. A tribe that included individuals who were willing to sacrifice themselves for the common good should triumph over its more selfish neighbours, allowing its genes - including those for altruism - to prosper over time.
But the problem with group selection is that it's vulnerable to subversion from within - the Vervet monkey that keeps quiet benefits from the warnings of others while remaining hidden. Genes for Vervet sneakiness should flourish in subsequent generations.
One way evolutionary biologists test their ideas about altruism, is by getting people to play carefully designed economic games in the lab. These experiments show that humans cooperate much more than naked self-interest demands - even when players are trying to maximise their position.
Proof then that humans are altruistic, preferring to cooperate and for the group to succeed.
Well not according to the Oxford biologist Professor Stuart West, who argues in a paper published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, that humans are actually no more altruistic than bacteria - it's just that we're really bad at playing games.
"How people behave in economic games, where they can choose to be selfish or cooperative, can be explained more easily by 'mistakes' than wanting others to succeed."
The experiment involved 168 people in a series of four games where they were able to decide how much money to contribute to a public project. Each of the games was designed to reward a different outcome - from fully altruistic to completely selfish.
But the results showed that even when an extreme strategy delivered the best results, competitors still hedged their bets, refusing to commit all their money.
Professor West believes that could be because humans are programmed to mistrust exposed positions, or it could be because we're just very bad at assessing the consequences of our actions.
"This could derive from a psychology that avoids extreme behaviours, which could be very costly if they go wrong, or indicate that the sort of simple everyday rules of thumb we use to make these judgements misfire".
Either way it's not altruism.

Maybe the brain, the heart, the soul understands that we are all one, united in our travails and our successses.
Quote: "Any man's death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee…" from Meditation 17 by John Donne)
When a bee stings it sacrifices itself for the good of the colony; vampire bats regularly regurgitate blood for others in the group… but I would call these behaviors instinct – neither altruistic, nor selfish – just instinctual behavior that ensures the survival of the pack, the hive, tribe….
As for the Verbet Monkey, trust me - Vervet monkies do not think like himan beings; they do not sit and judge: "quiet will benefit me, and I can benefit from the warning of others". I doubt that altruistic beings see their actions as a loss. Most altruistic beings are not capable of cost-benefit analysis.
The question: has altruism, be it kindness or cooperation, played a role in evolution? These are only difficult questions for persons held captive by the ideology of individualism, selfishness, ego, power, greed…
How did life begin?
Life began when complex molecules came together in cooperation, to perform mutually beneficial functions. So it's no puzzle to me that our genes are characterized by cooperation. In fact, cooperation therefore preceded evolution. How socially/psychologically blind do you have to be to overlook cooperation as a factor in evolution, a factor that entered our DNA with our genes?
Herbert Gintis, an American behavioral scientist, educator, and author, is noted for his foundational views on Altruism, Cooperation, as well as Epistemic Game Theory, and Gene-culture Coevolution, has said: "the genetics of social behavior is for the most part unknown."
Altruism became a problem only when a place could not be found for it in the established foundation of evolution. Maybe, just maybe, that means that "evolution" is wrong, "survival of the fittest is wrong", the "selfish gene" is wrong…and the best theory (for now) is Maslow:
When a person's basic needs are met, his higher needs emerge, and among the higher needs are self-actualization, becoming what one is intended to be, the flowering of the seed (if you will). From basically satisfied people, we see the fullest (and healthiest) creativity. Since, in our society, basically satisfied people are the exception (and mostly found in the western world), how can we know about self-actualization or altruism?

I am afraid this article joins the growing ranks of "Bad Darwinism", closer to Disney in its anthropomorphising than to the theory of genetic evolution.
Genes are neither selfish nor altruistic. They are simply coding devices for reproduction. Their variation is not planned - they are not in any sense sentient, knowing nothing even of the organism they map let alone the environment it inhabits - and their "success" is as much down to chance as to fitness.
There is nothing difficult about organisms behaving in an apparently altruistic way once you get the canard of a selfish controlling gene out of the way. Your bee stings because it is attacked. It does not "sacrifice its life". It dies. Had it lived it was statistically unlikely to father any progeny anyway. But the evolution of bees means that the hive is more likely to survive by this conduct. So bees survive. The Vervet may place itself at risk by screaming but its chances of survival without its tribe are remote so the scream is a relatively good device. It works a lot of the time. What it is not is a conscious, still less a genetic, choice of altruism over selfishness. Neither concept has any validity in either context.
It's much the same with people, whose social, parental and group protective traits developed before humans existed as a species. Humans and their immediate ancestors were vulnerable, particularly when rearing young. Protecting the group protected most of the individuals which meant that the individuals with a propensity to this behaviour tended to survive to reproduce. Some human traits are also "selfish" in character. As long as they didn't compromise the survival of the group, those traits could also be passed on. But here we are talking about wired conduct. The altruism that appears to be the subject of this latest "research" seems more likely to be culturally influenced higher brain activity, not the product of genetic predisposition.
As Professor Tallis has been saying (over and over and, oh dear, over again) we seem to be in an epidemic of Darwinitis, in which those with a little understanding seek credibility by attempting to hook their rather vapid little theories to the name of the reluctant hero of natural selection (who, himself, admitted to not understanding much of it).
Ah, if only Richard Dawkins would give up tilting at the windmills of religion for long enough to attend to refuting the talibans of evolutionism.

Skip to comments.Why Tookie Williams Must Die
Posted on 12/01/2005 9:38:49 PM PST by drill_ANWR
These are the grizzly crime scene and autopsy photos released by the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office in the case of convivted quadruple murderer and coward Tookie Williams.
Hey, Mike Farrell, Jamie Foxx, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon, Snoop Dogg, Bianca Jagger, Jesse Jackson, Margaret Cho, Mike Farrell, Jason Alexander, Laurence Fishburne, Danny Glover, Anjelica Huston, Bonnie Raitt, and Noah Wyle -- Explain Tookie's redemption now?
(Excerpt) Read more at capitalideasblog.com ...
I used to think that I wouldn't want to see anyone go to hell for eternity.....
That changed some years ago; this confirms it.
Yikes, those are truly awful. NOT for anyone even approaching a weak stomach.
OK, I'm sold. As long as he's guilty, that is.
Only through social chaos can the United States become a Socialist/Communist society. When the social damage caused by liberal policies becomes too overwhelming, the American people will cry out for a savior. Be he God or the Devil, they will accept him. Presto! A government take over of almost every aspect of American life - for our own good.
Those Hollywood Communist trials were held for a reason.
Takes a pervert to shoot somebody in the eyes with a shotgun (as some of these pictures indicate). Hang him now.
It would not change their minds.
They hate everything that is good and decent.
Murderers, rapists, communists,and cowards are their heroes.
Yeah, but he wrote 3 kids books, so let's all ponder over his gentleness. (s)
Russell Crowe is NOT mentioned in that list of celebrities, whereas earlier reports had him coming out in favor of clemency for Tookie. Can anyone clarify?
Just take out the trash- geez he has to be thankful he hasn't been out in gen pop with a name like Tookie.
Most distressing photos.
The DAs and investigators report is available for anyone to see. He's couldn't be anymore guilty of these crimes. There is no question. It was no brainer for the jury.
Tookie Delenda Est!
He's an animal and should have been exterminated long ago.
The sooner, the better.
This pretty much dealt with any reservations I had:
Yes, Russell Crowe's on the list. Thanks for the link.
Yes this is a must see. Lets see if the old timers at CNN will show what cold blooded killers really do when no one is watching. Sure, sure, he's writing childrens books. I am sure he was told to do just that for when this moment came aorund. I'd like to see Sarandon, Farrell, Foxx be on a news show and then have these on the screen while they plead for the killer. What useless garbage they are. They can act! Wow. Who can't act? Shove the Oscars and the Emmys where it dont shine liberals, no one cares.
Public hangings in a central spot of a community would be a deterrent. And leave the bodies hanging for a month.
The celebs who are hoping to save his life?
This is an interesting read...
Those photos appear to be the work of a Nobel prize nominee. I imagine Yassir Arafat did that same kind of work on people. Yup! Tookie is real Nobel prize material if you ask me.
What trials were those? Did I miss something?
It doesn't matter what he says because no one can understand his mumbling anyway!
I heard one of the books sold about 100 copies. Another only sold 2 copies. I don't know about the third book. Some literary giant...
Morning CAP,
I think all those false celebrites need to take the long awaited permanent out of body experience with the POS.
All of them should be deported from America for possessing the logic and morals of a rabid primate.
Hero(s) of the left and twollywood idiots are prime examples of what happens when pond scum and scabies mate.
As I See It,
|grizzly - powerful brownish-yellow bear of the uplands of western North America
brown bear, Ursus arctos, bruin - large ferocious bear of Eurasia
|grizzly - showing characteristics of age, especially having gray or white hair; "whose beard with age is hoar"-Coleridge; "nodded his hoary head"
old - (used especially of persons) having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age; especially not young; often used as a combining form to indicate an age as specified as in `a week-old baby'; "an old man's eagle mind"--William Butler Yeats; "his mother is very old"; "a ripe old age"; "how old are you?"
extremely unpleasant, especially because death or blood is involved:
- The 55-year-old Canadian had suffered a grisly death.
- a grisly murder
Has anyone seen or read one of Tookie's literary masterpieces?
I think one is entitled, "Shaniqua learns to cap yer azz".
These Graphic Crime scenes don't matter to these liberal left wing aristocrats, I mean those who Tookie murdered in cold blood were simply white ,or chinese trailer trash.
Besides , Tookie was innocent anyway, it was a false conviction!
All men are no longer created equal in California, the aristocratic movie mob pretend to be the nouveau nobility of America, and tookie has been knighted! All hail to Sir Tookie!
someone should send a link to www.savetookie.com
If Tookie doesn't deserve the death penalty who does?
That's nice to know. I didn't know if any executions had came up in California since Arnold was running things. To me the death penalty was made for POS people like Tookie. If Arnold lets Tookie off how can he go forward with a execution of someone else who hasn't killed as many as Tookie. My advice to Arnold is to not set a precedent for other executions.
I wonder what all these Hollywood types would be saying if Manson Family was on the loose in Hollywood today?
ask the staff at savetookie.org
I am guessing the staff will say no one.
I think the pictures will change some minds -- not all.
These photos need to be seen by the Hollyweird idiots that want clemency.

I have a git project that has run for a while and now I want to throw away the old history, say from start to two years back from now. With throw away I mean replace the many commits within this time with one single commit doing the same.
I checked
git rebase -i but this does not remove the other (full) history containing all commits from git.
Here a graphical representation (d being the changesets):
(base) -> d1 -> d2 -> d3 -> (HEAD)
What I want is:
(base) -> d1,d2 -> d3 -> (HEAD)
How could this be done? Thanks.
I got it working with
git rebase -i cd1e8c9
with cd1e8c9 being the start revision (base) to squash. Then I used fixup to meld the revisions together. Thanks.

Prawer Plan to displace Bedouin
Tens of thousands of Bedouin citizens of Israel live in "unrecognized" villages. Because the Israeli government does not recognize their claims to the lands they live on, they do not receive basic services such as connections to water lines and the power grid.
According to the plan, which the government did not widely consult the Bedouin community on when drafting, nearly all residents the unrecognized villages will be evicted and forcibly relocated to planned communities. Some — mainly in the triangle between Ksseifa, Dimona and Be'er Sheva — will be recognized by the state and services will presumably be normalized. Many of the "unrecognized" villages predate the state, while others are populated with internally displaced peoples from other parts of the Negev from 1948.
The Bedouin, Palestinian-Israeli political and civic groups and the Israeli Right oppose the plan. Community leaders are vowing to resist its implementation, which would be the largest displacement of a Palestinian population by Israel in decades.
+972 is reporting on the plan as it develops.
100k Bedouin Israelis couldn't watch Netanyahu's 'apology' — they don't have electricity
Israel demolishes Bedouin village al-Araqib for 100th time
New Jewish settlements planned 'on top of' Bedouin villages
Israel demolishes Bedouin village of Al Araqib — for the 90th time
What to expect from Netanyahu's fourth government
Supreme Court gives al-Araqib the right to fight for its land
WATCH: Living in the shadow of the Prawer Plan
Following a series of high-profile protests that seemingly ended one iteration of the Prawer Plan, nobody — especially those who would be most affected — knows where the plan to displace tens of thousands of Bedouin Israelis stands today. Social TV visits two unrecognized Bedouin villages in the Negev, Al-Araqib and Alsira, to see how people live under the threat of displacement.

Sweeping the sand out of the desert: From Verwoerd to Prawer
The Prawer-Begin Plan was shelved. But the idea that you can forcefully transfer an indigenous population and determine where it can legally reside -- looks and smells like a plan pulled from the dusty drawer of Hendrik Verwoerd, architect of Apartheid South Africa. And that didn't work out so well. By Hilla Dayan Sadly, it was too early to celebrate the downfall of the Prawer-Begin Plan. The victory of suspending the Knesset vote following the the "day of rage" protests on November 30 was short lived. The dark threatening cloud of ethnic cleansing still hovers over the Negev's Bedouin population. Nevertheless,…
Prawer Plan may not be shelved after all
Ex-general overseeing implementation of bill says he has not received any instructions to halt legislation process. The Prawer Plan may not be shelved after all. Just four days after the co-author of the proposed law, Benny Begin, announced the halting of the bill that would see the internal displacement of some 40,000 Bedouin in the Negev, the former IDF general who heads the unit which is to implement the "relocation" told Haaretz Monday that he has not received any instructions to shelve the plan and is continuing efforts towards its implementation. Major General (res.) Doron Almog added that Begin can…
What's next for Bedouin in a post-Prawer Israel?
The cancellation of the Prawer Plan is a victory for committed protestors. But how did this happen, and what does it mean for the Bedouin living in unrecognized villages who will wake up to a new reality? The "Stop Prawer Plan" campaigners can take this evening off and celebrate their enormous success in halting the Prawer Plan. Up until two weeks ago, all bets were on a lengthy struggle: a bill that would pass in the Knesset, followed by a long and complicated appeals process to the High Court of Justice, with a simultaneous escalation in violent confrontations between new police…
Allow me to rain on the Prawer parade
So the Israeli government is scrapping the Prawer Bill. Please allow me to rain on the parade. A few months ago many on the Left celebrated when the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional a law allowing the indefinite detention of asylum seekers. This week, circumventing the court's decision, the government passed a new law allowing the indefinite detention of asylum seekers, only this time in an "open prison." The Bedouin, the Left and the -- not all that large -- protests did not kill the Prawer bill. The Right killed this bill. The current Israeli government did not wake up overnight…
Bill to displace Israel's Bedouin to be scrapped, Prawer architect says
The Bill for Arranging Bedouin Settlement in the Negev, more commonly known as the Prawer Plan, has been scrapped, former minister and drafter of the plan Benny Begin announced at a press conference in Tel Aviv on Thursday (Haaretz report). The bill, first introduced in 2011, is a government plan to forcibly relocate some 40,000 Bedouin citizens living in dozens of "unrecognized" villages in Israel's Negev desert, which the government has never agreed to recognize or provide services to. The plan has drawn heavy criticism from both Bedouin citizens and human rights groups. In recent months it has also been…
PHOTOS: Al Araqib celebrates return of jailed sheikh
Sheikh Sayah Aturi returned to his home village of Al Araqib today (Tuesday) for the first time since his arrest on November 20. On that day, Al Araqib was demolished for the 62nd time while most of its residents were busy protesting in Jerusalem outside of the Knesset during committee debates on the Prawer Plan. This plan threatens to displace some 40,000 Bedouin citizens of Israel living in "unrecognized" villages in the Negev. As Haggai Matar reported: Village head Sheikh Sayakh was one of the few residents to stay behind, which led Israeli authorities to arrest him for "trespassing" on "state-owned land"…

Transported to a mystical land, Lady M is essentially the center of attention in a long parade of cocks, lots of fake cum (why?) and plenty of the real goo, too. She gets ass-slammed, takes a two-in-one vaginal penetration and is an Olympic-class moaner throughout.
There's even comic relief. As one stud working her ass gets ready to unload, he moans, "I'm gonna cum," yet stays pumping inside her. Panic strikes as several different voices shout from behind the camera, "Pull out! Pull out!" It sounds like air traffic control to a crashing jet. Recommend to the humor-minded.

I'm looking into getting some kind of pellet or bb gun for some backyard training, but I'm not sure what exactly I should get. Currently, I have a small range setup in my backyard where I have a number of targets I can plink at from my deck with my Marksman 2004 and IZH 53M . It's great fun, but both of those pistols are single shot pellet guns and not exactly CCW sized (the Marksman looks a little like a Desert Eagle, but only weights a pound). Ideally, I'd like something similar in size as my Sig P239 so that they could potentially share the same holster. I also want something that won't break within the first 6 months of use. I know it'll have to use CO2 to be a repeater, but it doesn't have to simulate blowback. I don't really want to spend more than $60-$75 max.
Two choices I'm not sure about are whether to get one that uses a revolver type clip or one that puts them inline. The pros about the revolver style is reliability, able to use both pellets or bb's and with that greater accuracy. The cons are double action for every shot (not neccessarily a bad thing) and smaller capacity (6-8 vs. 15-17).
Some of the pistols that I'm considering are:
Crosman 1088
Crosman C11
Crosman PRO77
Daisy Powerline 008
Gamo PX 107
Gamo P-23
Walther CP99
The reason I'm not including any airsoft is because this will be strictly outdoors, I want more power for reactive targets, and they are inherently less accurate (no rifled barrels that I've seen).

"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
I had a trainer years ago who put a bunch of us through room-clearing drills, as well as gun retention, all using airsoft guns. They certainly worked well enough for the purpose at hand.
I picked up the Walther CP-99 Compact from Dick's over a year ago for practice in my basement. It's worked fine with no issues and it has pretty good range out to 21ft.
Be aware it's one down side is that once the weapon is charged with air it cannot be uncharged nor does it hold air for long. This means you will cycle through CO2 powerlets everytime you desire to use it which over time can add up.
I am planning to buy a green gas powered Airsoft unit in 1911 form factor so that it'll fit my holsters which the CP99C does not.

I just bought a cheap airsoft replica of the 226, it is the exact size but find the whole quality less than the other Berreta airsoft I bought last year. The Sig replica 226 being offered by sig would be nice, but I doubt I would be allowed to import it.
Airsoft guns are an excellent way to practice. The higher quality models are the same size, and roughly the same weight if you get a full metal version.
Green gas blowbacks are ideal if you shoot an automatic. You will want that action in the slide if you want to practice rapid fire or multiple shots. You'll find quality airsoft replicas for most popular automatics.
Airsoft is quickly being dicovered and used as a safer alternative to live fire and simunition CQB training by some LE, private security, and military. If it's good enough for them, why not give it a try?
Airsoft as a milsim game is also a ton of fun!
I am a huge proponent of pellet/bb guns for training. I have multiple CO2 pellet guns from Daisy, Crosman, and Gamo, which I have been shooting since the 1960's. I recommend trying to find an air pistol which approximates your EDC grip and, more importantly, trigger. That said, my favorites are the Crosman 38C for revolver and Gamo for auto. Neither are particularly accurate beyond 10yds, but they are not target pistols.

Hero's aren't born, they're cornered - According to Jim
I have subjected a Gamo P 23 to years of hard use, both as a shooter and a loud prop ( Co2 cartridge only) for Shoot-Don't Shoot videos in my armed guard classes. ( I have found the P-23 to be the loudest air gun of them all.)
After about 3 years it broke, so I bought a new one for $63.00 that is still humming along.
I have also used Gamo pellet revolvers and the PT-80 for target practice and they all work great.
The Gamo p23 is a piece of junk. I had one a few years go to play around with, but never liked it.
Its not very acurate. Mine shot to the left pretty bad...It wasn't poor aiming, it was just a poor airgun.
A C02 gun is going to go through CO2 like there is no tomorrow. if you use it frequently, then you will be spending quite a bit of money on c02
I also had a Walther PPK/S C02 gun. I liked that one a lot more then the P32. It was a lot more accurate, had a blow back, and never failed to fire. Another thing I liked about it was that it had a regular clip for its ammo (unlike the break open P32). If you're using this for training, I would go with one that has a clip.

Love Cowboy Bebop and your take on it. I think that the pause is fine where it is. Usually a pause is inserted for transition purposes. It stops certain instruments so it can start up again. Also it could be following the actual song used in Bebop. Nice work, I hope to see some more music like this!
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
Smooth and catchy- definately reminds me of Cowboy Bebop. There's on hitch somewhere around 1:20 where there's a few seconds of blank, but otherwise it's all peachy.

Tanjung Sepat
|This article does not cite any sources. (December 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Tanjung Sepat is a town in Kuala Langat district in Selangor, Malaysia. It is on the Straits of Malacca. Kampung Kundang is a village located nearby.
Tanjung Sepat is primarily a fishing town. Most of the inhabitants have some kind of connection to the fishing industry, although the relative importance of fishing to the economy is dwindling due to pollution in the Straits of Malacca. Many locals believed this is caused by the fact that the areas surrounding the town are known as the largest pig rearing area in the state. The non-controllable waste flowing to the sea produced not only stench but hardship for the fishing industry participants.
Tanjung Sepat is well known locally for its many seafood restaurants. The most famous dish is the seafood steamboat.The bun also is well known in Tanjung sepat.There are a lot of people come here to buy bun during holiday.People also like to go the Garnofarm to view the various of the mushroom.There are also a Couple bridge in Tanjung sepat.However,it already broken

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
From our August issue: Clinical-Style Validation,...
Keep the Opportunities, Lose the Opportunists
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Researchers at the University of Michigan (UM) Comprehensive Cancer Center hope to start clinical trials next year evaluating an approach to breast cancer therapy that combines an IL-6 inhibitor with Herceptin (Roche's humanized antibody therapy trastuzumab). Nearly half of Her2-positive breast cancers are resistant to Herceptin, and those that are initially responsive to the drug will eventually become resistant. The UM scientists have now found that breast cancer cells can switch on an inflammatory pathway involving IL-6 that propagates tumor cell growth independently of Her2.
Most notably, their work, to be published in next month's issue of Molecular Cell, indicated that the IL-6 pathway promotes the development of cancer stem cells (CSCs), which are responsible for breast cancer metastasis and aggressiveness. Blocking IL-6 thus markedly reduced numbers of these cells. Moreover, mice with newly developing tumors remained sensitive to Herceptin when they were treated with an IL-6 inhibitor in addition to the Herceptin.
Roche's IL-6 inhibitor RoActemra/Actemra (tocilizumab) is an IL-6 blocker already marketed for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. "What we've found now is that in many of the Herceptin-resistant breast cancers the IL-6 inflammation loop is driving the cancer stem cell," explains lead study author Hasan Korkaya, Ph.D., research assistant professor of internal medicine at the UM Medical School.
There's already evidence that patients with high levels of IL-6 have a poorer prognosis, adds Max S. Wicha, M.D., senior study author and distinguished professor of oncology and director for the UM Comprehensive Cancer Center. "Our study suggests that an IL-6 inhibitor in combination with Herceptin may be a valuable addition for treating Her2-positive breast cancer."
The UM teams' work will be detailed in a paper titled "Activation of an IL-6 Inflammatory Loop Mediates Trastuzumab Resistance in Her2+ Breast Cancer by Expanding the Cancer Stem Cell Population."

AbstractIntegrally Bladed Rotors (IBRs) are important in the design of modern aircraft engines. They offer attractive performance benefits, but due to their expense they require robust repair schemes, in order to avoid costly replacement during overhaul. The Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process has demonstrated repair of IBRs without compromising mechanical integrity. LENS is an additive manufacturing technique, where the original material, in this case Inconel, is deposited in the repair area to achieve a full metallurgical bond, with properties often approaching those of the original material. In this work we will develop a repair for an Inconel blisk airfoil that has suffered Foreign Object Damage or wear. In Phase I we investigated methods to achieve the required microstructure and soundness from the LENS-deposited Inconel. We also investigated methods to understand and control the deposition process. In the Phase I option, we will refine the processes, and test the properties of the materials. In Phase II, we will develop and demonstrate the repair process, and through a Phase II Option, bring the LENS repair process toward production readiness.

The breakfast was a nice touch and included hard boiled eggs. The staff was very welcoming and had peach lemonade and snacks out for the guests in the afternoon. There are several nice places to sit and enjoy the view of the nearby hills. The only negatives observed was the very limited flow shower heads and the lack of fresh air circulation in the room.
