Texans still prefer a one-party state. They surely didn't buy into Texas Democrats' glaringly contrived political calculation.
Republican leaders branding the Democratic "Dream Team" a cynical use of race ranks as high hypocrisy from the party that has played the "Southern strategy" so successfully since the days of George Wallace. But it didn't make it untrue.
Rick Perry pulled a 19-point margin of victory notwithstanding an elevated turnout in the traditionally Democratic Valley. It just isn't possible for any one Democratic constituency such as Hispanics to produce the Christmas goose if all they have to work with is a turkey.
Texas is a presumptively Republican state and nowhere would the national Republican strategy work any more effectively: Keep the focus on terrorism and war. Bury discussion about corporate malfeasance, the limping economy, rapidly burgeoning Republican deficits, and broad-based doubt among the electorate that the administration's war plans should be the country's main priority.
Sadly, it swamped the down-ballot ticket that was one of the strongest in a decade. John Sharp and a couple of the judicial candidates enjoyed significant bipartisan support. Ron Kirk and Kirk Watson (both former mayors) were both as fine candidates as we could field. Yet more than half the ballots cast were straight party votes.
In close but unmistakable decisions all across the country, voters gave Democrats their worst drubbing and Republicans the closest thing to a mandate either have received since 1994. They get the clear momentum going into 2004 as well.
The broad American electorate isn't particularly ideological. It seems to reward what it increasingly regards as rare qualities in its politicians: authenticity and leadership. Its choices often have less to do with a candidate's philosophy.
A New York Times poll a few days before the election summed it all. Voters asked whether each party had a clear plan for the future graded the Republicans 42 percent affirmatively to 39 percent negatively.
The Democrats were rated positively by 31 percent to 49 percent who thought they didn't. The public was a lot surer the Democrats didn't have a plan than they were the Republicans did. But it's clear where the benefit of the doubt accrued.
And George W. Bush continues adding beef to his 2000 presidential campaign's admonishment not to "underestimate him" - and most certainly not the team that advises him. He risked considerable political capital to help push Republican candidates over the top in the last days of the campaign.
The Democrats, bereft of leadership and showing little of the president's courage, went down to the wire offering voters a gutless, "me too" second to some of the most alarming Bush administration policies.
Democratic timidity on the issues of war and taxes effectively kept them in the box their opponents had created for them. The voter, given the choice between a fire-breathing Republican and a neutered Democrat, tends toward the live wire.
While off-year elections are almost always local, the contentious 2000 election and the even division of the electorate should have granted Democrats an unusually fertile opportunity. There's no question they faced a formidable Republican political operation and world events that played against them. But without an agenda, they certainly relinquished any possibility of turning an off-year election into a national referendum on the administration's policies.
The Democrats treated the Iraq issue as a political rather than substantive position. Voters recognized the underlying inauthenticity. The administration has lurched among any justification for invading Iraq it thinks it can make stick - but even an opportunistic policy was more than the timid Democrats produced.
When exactly were the hearings on Enron? We seemed to have missed them.
The Democratically controlled Senate was so compromised by a taint spread across both aisles that the Republicans not only got a pass on the issue but polling data giving them a slight advantage in dealing with corporate malfeasance.
For an administration that had to slide its discredited SEC chairman, Harvey Pitt, out of office in the dark of election night, that's incredible.
Tom Daschle says the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will be protected, that Democrats will block administration efforts. Well, good. It's an important issue - dear to vital parts of the Democratic base. Had Texas Greens supported the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, they could have made the difference that produced the only successful Democrat on the statewide ballot.
But no overture was forthcoming, and a slate of Democratic candidates headed by a Bush pioneer professing his admiration for Jr.'s style will hardly cause Greens to abandon third-party efforts.
Personally, I have more confidence in the major oil companies than the Senate Democrats. Big Oil may well find the skill to drill the Arctic without causing major environmental damage before Senate Democrats find the courage to camp on the Senate floor with enough regularity to force moderation in the radical right's alarming judicial intentions.

Solar dynamo
This article has multiple issues. Please help improve it or discuss these issues on the talk page. (Learn how and when to remove these template messages)(Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The solar dynamo is the physical process that generates the Sun's magnetic field. A dynamo, essentially a naturally occurring electric generator in the Sun's interior, produces electric currents and a magnetic field, following the laws of Ampère, Faraday and Ohm, as well as the laws of hydrodynamics, which together form the laws of magnetohydrodynamics. The detailed mechanism of the solar dynamo is not known and is the subject of current research.[1]
A dynamo converts kinetic energy into electric-magnetic energy. An electrically conducting fluid with shear or more complicated motion, such as turbulence, can temporarily amplify a magnetic field through Lenz's law: fluid motion relative to a magnetic field induces electric currents in the fluid that distort the initial field. If the fluid motion is sufficiently complicated, it can sustain its own magnetic field, with adjective fluid amplification essentially balancing diffusive or ohmic decay. Such systems are called self-sustaining dynamos. The Sun is a self-sustaining dynamo that converts convective motion and differential rotation within the Sun to electric-magnetic energy.
Solar cycle[edit]
The most prominent time variation of the solar magnetic field is related to the quasi-periodic 11-year solar cycle, characterized by an increasing and decreasing number and size of sunspots.[2][3] Sunspots are visible as dark patches on the Sun's photosphere and correspond to concentrations of magnetic field. At a typical solar minimum, few or no sunspots are visible. Those that do appear are at high solar latitudes. As the solar cycle progresses towards its maximum, sunspots tend to form closer to the solar equator, following Spörer's law.
The 11-year sunspot cycle is half of a 22-year Babcock–Leighton solar dynamo cycle, which corresponds to an oscillatory exchange of energy between toroidal and poloidal solar magnetic fields. At solar-cycle maximum, the external poloidal dipolar magnetic field is near its dynamo-cycle minimum strength, but an internal toroidal quadrupolar field, generated through differential rotation within the tachocline, is near its maximum strength. At this point in the dynamo cycle, buoyant upwelling within the convection zone forces emergence of the toroidal magnetic field through the photosphere, giving rise to pairs of sunspots, roughly aligned east–west with opposite magnetic polarities. The magnetic polarity of sunspot pairs alternates every solar cycle, a phenomenon known as the Hale cycle.[4][5]
During the solar cycle's declining phase, energy shifts from the internal toroidal magnetic field to the external poloidal field, and sunspots diminish in number. At solar minimum, the toroidal field is, correspondingly, at minimum strength, sunspots are relatively rare and the poloidal field is at maximum strength. During the next cycle, differential rotation converts magnetic energy back from the poloidal to the toroidal field, with a polarity that is opposite to the previous cycle. The process carries on continuously, and in an idealized, simplified scenario, each 11-year sunspot cycle corresponds to a change in the polarity of the Sun's large-scale magnetic field.[5][6][7]

I think I prefer the Set This House in Order cover but they're all awesome.
I want to see these on a nicely-textured small-sized paperback...
Paul Constant is the new reason to come to Slog, to read the Stranger, praise the Stranger, etc. I just wanted to say that.
On of the somewhat recent favorite covers lately is the paperback edition of Eggers' How We Are Hungry.
As a bonus, the book's at least ONE THIRD good, which is a decent finish for a collection of short stories, IMO.
Seriously, Mr. Poe. I have a nonsexual gay crush on him.
We should stalk him.
Is stalking complimentary or creepy? I forget.
@4 & @5, me too. Well except my crush is a hetero girl crush. Men who not only read, but also discuss intelligently what they read get me hot. And now that he's doing the lunch/book reviews posts, well let's just say that my "favorite stalker songs" playlist is dedicated to him.
There was a complete McSweeney's issue (4?) dedicated to this topic where each author designed the cover to their own booklet-like piece. I remember it being really good.
Apparently Nabokov had a HUGE problem with the art on his books so he eventually started contacting the designers and asking them to submit proofs to him. Milton Glaser was one of those designers.
I also
Damn. That was supposed to say "I also heart Paul Constant."
By the by, the book in questions is FUCKING GREAT.
That book was pretty fucking good and I recommend it to everyone. I like Ruff's style: he's like a more toned down, down to Earth version of Neal Stephenson. Haven't read his latest, though.
nice! weird coincidence, I was just planning posting Bad Monkeys on the Covers blog next week

What's On
Maritime art at Mission to Seafarers
Posted by The Events Editorial Team
01. Oct, 2012
|October 22, 2012
|3:00 am
Every six months or so I bang on about the Mission to Seafarers – that slightly out-of-place building down the Docklands end of Flinders Street.
Over the past 80 years the Mission has been picking up sailors from around the globe and offering shelter, counselling and more than a few cold beers. In my opinion the Mission is one of the most incredible buildings in Melbourne, with its whacky nautical theme, bar made from wine bottles and domed gallery.
If you haven't been yet this week's as good as any to go and check out not only the building but the entries in the ANL Maritime Art Prize and Exhibition, an annual prize for the best in maritime art. With over a third of all sales going back to the Mission, it's also a great way to support a true Melbourne icon. And have a drink with some salty sea dogs.
WHERE: Mission to Seafarers, 717 Flinders Street, Docklands
WHEN: Now until Oct 31

Sorry, but it's Stevie Sadness today bringing you five things about Game 7 of Blackhawks-Blues.
1. The Blues scored the biggest goal of the game, and they did it in the third period in Game 7. That's what the Blackhawks should've done and that's when they should've done it because that's the period of champions. That's especially the period of champions looking to repeat.
But no. The Hawks lost the third period Monday night. In fact, the Hawks lost the third period the entire playoff series against the dreaded Blues. The champs -- ex-champs now -- were outscored 8-5 in the third period in this matchup.
Think about...

Skip to comments.NASA: Some Perspective on Winter 2014
Posted on 03/20/2014 2:49:38 AM PDT by Cincinatus' Wife
For many residents of North America, the winter of 2013-14 has felt like one of the coldest in many years. Waves of Arctic air have brought extended periods of cold weather and above-average snowfall to the middle and eastern portions of the United States and Canada. The Great Lakes, in particular, were chilled until they reached nearly 91 percent ice cover. Even portions of Mexico and Central America were cooler than normal.
But human memory is not a scientific measure, and long-term perspective tends to get lost in everyday conversation and news coverage. Researchers at the U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) have reported that the average temperature of the contiguous U.S. for the winter was 0.4° Celsius (31.3° Fahrenheit), about 1°F below average.
Why was it only the 34th coldest winter in 119 years of records? Because most of the land west of the Rocky Mountains was warmer and drier than average, so those warmer temperatures offset the cold snaps to the east. California had its hottest winter on record, and several other states came close. Though it is not included in the contiguous U.S. measurements, Alaska also thawed in spring-like heat and rain that melted snow and ice.
The map above shows land surface temperature anomalies for North America for December 1, 2013, to February 28, 2014the period known to scientists as meteorological winter in the Northern Hemisphere. Based on data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASAs Terra satellite, the map depicts temperatures for December 2013 to February 2014 compared to the 20002013 average for those months. Areas with warmer than average temperatures are shown in red; near-normal temperatures are white; and areas that were cooler than normal are blue. (Note: land surface temperatures are not the same as air temperatures, but they are a reasonable proxy for how warm or cold each region was. Learn more about the difference by reading this feature.)
The map below puts the North American winter in wider context. On a global scale, land temperatures for the December through February period were actually the tenth warmest in the modern record, according to NCDC, 0.87°C (1.57°F) above the 20th century average.
Far eastern Asia, particularly China and eastern Russia, were significantly warmer than normal. In Europe, Austria and The Netherlands observed the second warmest winters in their records, and Switzerland its third warmest. With temperatures as much as 5°C above normal, spring crops and plants began sprouting several weeks early across much of Europe. And in the southern summer, the extended heat waves in Australia and Argentina stand out.

Here's How NASA Thinks Society Will Collapse - Too much inequality and too few natural resources could leave the West vulnerable to a Roman Empire-style fall
"Americans now have more computer power in their smart phones than did the Pentagon in all its computer banks just 30 years ago. We board a sophisticated jet and assume that the flight is no more dangerous than crossing the street.
The downside of this complete reliance on computer gadgetry is a fundamental ignorance of what technology is. Smart machines are simply the pumps that deliver the water of knowledge not knowledge itself.
What does it matter that millions of American students can communicate across thousands of miles instantly with their iPads and iPhones if a poorly educated generation increasingly has little to say?..............
NASA has become the pseudo-scientific arm of the Ministry of Truth.
People have noticed, thus.....
March 16, 2014: "According to NASA, its new strategic plan, released last week, provides the agency with a clear, unified, and long-term direction for all its activities. NASAs previous strategic plan was criticized in a 2012 National Research Council (NRC) report requested by Congress that found a lack of national consensus on the agencys strategic goals and objectives.
Government agencies are required to prepare strategic plans every four years in the year after a presidential election by the Government Performance and Results Modernization Act. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) sets detailed requirements for the plans. NASA was given an extra year to produce its last version as the Obama Administration debated the agencys future, so it was released in 2011 rather than 2010.
The document states NASAs vision and mission and explains the agencys core values, goals and priorities.
In this new version, NASAs Vision is articulated as:
We reach for new heights and reveal the unknown for the benefit of humankind.
NASAs Mission is:
Drive advances in science, technology, aeronautics, and space exploration to enhance knowledge, education, innovation, economic vitality, and stewardship of Earth.
A comparison of the 2014 and 2011 strategic plans reveals few dramatic changes. Safety, integrity, teamwork and excellence remain the agencys core values. The plan also reiterates sending humans to Mars as the agencys long-term goal.
The addition of the words space and aeronautics to the mission statement is a significant change, however, and appears to respond to criticism of the 2011 version by the NRC committee.................."
Not startling since John P. Holdren is Obama's Science and Technology Adviser.
I'd like to say you're a visionary but...... : )
These jerks are so predictable.
Close it down, along with many other alphabet agencies. Transfer manned flight to the Air Force. Give researchers at the universities $10 billion a year.
As for civilian space flight. Set aside another $10 billion a year for prizes for set goals in space. It has worked before.
So, that's a relief. I thought my butt was freezing Wait, NASA, Why don't you add the saudi desert figures and make it a little pretzel?
It just seemed cold. It just seemed like we were shoveling feet of snow repeatedly. Actually, it was bikini weather, the tenth warmest winter on record. If I distrust the record and the measurements, that's just because I'm ignorant.
WHOA - that's telling... long on being a 'true believer' - - short on science....
I was going to post the same link.
I remember when NASA was all about space exploration. Oh well, as long as muslims feel good about themselves while they are blowing people up and beheading them.
That's gotta be it... we were dozing under our beach umbrellas, *dreaming* about shoveling snow and scraping ice from our car windshields!
The heart of liberalism: Persuading people to discount their own experience.
"The Great Lakes, in particular, were chilled until they reached nearly 91 percent ice cover."
It was actually 92.2% coverage on March 6.
Actually, that's "according to spacepolicyonline.com". This is what NASA says is according to NASA (from here):
NASA Today
NASA conducts its work in four principal organizations, called mission directorates:
- Aeronautics: manages research focused on meeting global demand for air mobility in ways that are more environmentally friendly and sustainable, while also embracing revolutionary technology from outside aviation.
- Human Exploration and Operations: focuses on International Space Station operations, development of commercial spaceflight capabilities and human exploration beyond low-Earth orbit.
- Science: explores the Earth, solar system and universe beyond; charts the best route of discovery; and reaps the benefits of Earth and space exploration for society.
- Space Technology: rapidly develops, innovates, demonstrates, and infuses revolutionary, high-payoff technologies that enable NASA's future missions while providing economic benefit to the nation.
NASA's fine. The problem we got is with all the mindless political hacks on both the extreme left and extreme right that make up stories about what NASA's saying and doing. So it boils down to being our job of taking the trouble to see what's really going on.
"WHOA - that's telling... long on being a 'true believer' - - short on science...."
And he co-authored "The Population Bomb" and has published similar papers over the years. Holdren (since becoming Obama's Science and Technology Adviser) has lectured graduate students that America can't expect to be number one all the time, that in fact the world is better when we step back and let other nations develop.
NASA's not fine.
The linked information I gave you states their vision/mission statement correctly. NASA HAD dropped "space" and "aeronautics" and now it has been replaced (but that's just for show while they totally gut the agency).
The Population Bomb? Gads that takes me back... Nice thing about being liberal is no matter how often they're wrong they get a pass... Amazing.
was this one at "Spacepolicyonline.com". Sure, it looks good but 'good' doesn't make it 'NASA'.
...NASA HAD dropped space and aeronautics and now it has been replaced (but thats just for show while they totally gut the agency)....
Whatever, but seriously NASA still has about 18,000 employees and their $17.7B FY 2014 budget is looking like about 90% space ops, exploration, and space tech.
Go to Dr. Roy Spencer's website for an expert opinion that mirrors what I said above. Even though he explicitly points out the reality of greenhouse gasses, Dr. Spencer has come under constant attack by the alarmists, as he does not believe that warming will be a major problem going forward.
This article by NASA is fair enough, in that the important thing from that perspective is the global average temperature, not the temperature of the eastern US in particular. It is undeniably true that the West Coast had an unusually warm winter. I personally don't believe current temperature measurements are being tampered with, as there are several sources for them. (I will say I think the historical record has suffered some corruption.)
It seems to me that a more productive approach than arguing about how much the planet will warm, is to identify win/win scenarios that reduce CO2 production while also stimulating real economic growth and improving the human condition. I will point out that many rabid environmentalists seem to be set on humanity having a lower-tech and in fact generally lower standard of living in the future. That is idiocy, and that is the main thing that needs to be fought.
The low-hanging fruit among win/win scenarios is replacing all coal-fired electricity generation with nuclear. Even current generation nuclear is extremely safe, and if a reasonable amount of R&D were put into it, thorium based nuclear power would completely solve the world's energy needs for the foreseeable future, certainly for long enough to develop either LENR or fusion.
Solar power is also a great technology, but it should be used mainly for endpoint generation (roofs are generally wasted space anyhow). Solar isn't a good fit for industrial-strength electric generation. I'm against wind power, if nuclear expands as it should wind won't be competitive and every wind turbine out there will be a rusting monument to environmentalist stupidity.
Replacing coal electric generation is simply a good idea, independent of global warming. There are plenty of interesting things to do with coal besides burning it, so there is not necessarily a huge impact to coal producing areas in the long run, although coal mining is a pretty environmentally unfriendly thing given some of the common practices. What makes burning coal such a bad idea, independent of CO2, is the particulate and mercury pollution emitted. It is simply a dirty form of power, killing tens of thousands of people a year.
The other motivation for advanced nuclear is that civilization needs powerful, high-density energy sources for many things, including space travel. Once practical nuclear/LENR/fusion spacecraft exist, there will be a new wave of pioneering and an explosion of wealth like nothing seen before.
We are seeing the effects of no frontiers - oppressive government, limited opportunity, less self-reliance, squabbling over limited resources and a general oppression of the human spirit. We need a new frontier! We need to open up access to the Solar System, and let the next dynamic age of humanity begin!
(If you made it this far, congratulations! Obviously I have strong feelings on all this. BTW, NASA is not the right entity to cause the space frontier to take off. That will take commercialization.)
drivel...... you have been duped
What an eloquent argument. On what basis do you dispute (very) basic physics?
Let me repeat - there is some warming associated with increased CO2. If it will be 0.1 degree C, it is absolutely no problem. If in fact it will end up at the upper end of the IPCC predictions (which I seriously doubt) it will be catastrophic.
Again, the best approach is a win/win solution. In a low-warming scenario, we have abundant energy and cleaner air. In a high-warming scenario, we have the technology and energy to do some form of geoengineering. If the worst IPCC predictions are correct, geoengineering will be absolutely necessary, just stopping CO2 production (even completely) won't be enough. We're right at 400 PPM CO2, and I see very little chance of stopping short of 600 PPM - at a minimum.

I made a simple script that uploads file that are submitted through a simple html form, It works fine with files that are smaller than 5 mega bytes. When I upload larger files they start to screw things up..
I thought it might be that the execution time is too short, so I used this: set_time_limit(500);
Sadly, it didn't make any difference.
In the form, I have a hidden input that helps me detect if the form was submitted Next, I checked the apache error log and I found that that input was null, So it seems like the long execution time loses the other values..
is there any simple solution for this? or shall I just change the way I detect if the form was submitted?

This plugin is just great.. Is there a way to make the categories dropdown? And maybe make this dropdowm top near "view listing" or something.
I saw what I wanted in the advanced search so I'll be revising my question... Is there an "advance search" shortcode.. I want this to show up on my site first so the users can select from the dropdown for the categories.
Hi MegaToonTV,
We don't have a shortcode for that right now, but it's on the list to do for the next major release.
That's cool. Can't wait! Thanks
Oh another similar question.. how to display the category via php
The "wpbdp_get_form_field()" does not seem to make it work.
Hi MegaToonTv,
Have you tried the suggestions in this article here?
That explains how to access the fields individually.
I tried that one but the result it gives me just category ID. When I use it together with the "get_category()" it just gives me blank result.
Can you post the code you are using (full page)?
Also, which page are you customizing?
Is the "categories drop down" capability now added to the new version of the plugin?
I have updated the plugin to the latest version but I can't find anything on the admin side related to that.
If it's not included in the plugin yet, is it possible to give me some instructions to change the core files or hack the plugin for now until it s officially added?
Thank You
HI phoenixobia,
Depends on what you mean by "categories drop down" capability. :)
We have the enhanced category module, which gives you the ability to show parent, then child on the search and submit listing form. Is that what you're looking for here?
It's a free module that you get when signing up for our free email course on building a business directory (which you can see at the lower right of our site when you visit: http://businessdirectoryplugin.com)
It's in the sign up email.
Well I'm talking about that option we have in the Directory admin under the listings tab.
When "Show listings under categories on main page?" is checked, it displays the list of categories on the main page.
I have a lot of categories and I would like to have it as a drop down to save space.
I just signed up for your email courses by the way.
Is that something I can do with the free module you are talking about?
Thanks for the info
Yes, actually, that's possible with it as well. :)
Thanks for the info and lessons.
I got your "Categories" plugin but I still can't seem to make the categories shown as a drop down on the mail Directory page.
Could you please help?
Hi phoenixobia,
First, did you find the documentation about it here?
There are some settings you need to turn on to get the drop-down cascading to happen (namely, changing the mode to Parent Only). Did you do that?

Sunset of the Solo Scientist
In recent weeks, President Barack Obama has focused on the importance of innovation for "winning the future." It's our new ideas, he says, that will solve our energy problems, increase exports and create high-paying jobs. "This is our generation's Sputnik moment," he said in the State of the Union speech. "We need to out-innovate the world."
The question, of course, is where these new ideas will come from. For centuries, the Western model of innovation has been simple: We've relied on young geniuses. From Da Vinci to Einstein, from Newton to Darwin, our most revolutionary breakthroughs have typically emerged from individuals, working by themselves.
But that model appears to be as old-fashioned as the manual typewriter. In recent years, it's become increasingly clear that our best ideas no longer come from solitary researchers. (Here's a quick test: Name a current scientist as influential as Einstein or an inventor as famous as Edison.) If America is going to "out-innovate" the world, it's not because we have more youthful geniuses, toiling away alone in a lab. The age of the great scientific thinker is over.
Why have individual geniuses become less important? Mostly because the nature of our hardest scientific problems has changed. One sign of this comes from data on the "peak age" of creativity, which has been increasing for the last 500 years. Newton may have benefited from tackling the problems of calculus and gravity in his 20s, but the ideal age for most scientists is now closer to 40.
Benjamin Jones, a professor at Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management, has looked at this shift in detail. He's found, for instance, that the mean age of "great achievement" among Nobel laureates has risen by nearly eight years over the course of the 20th century. (Similar trends also apply to inventors.) The reason is straightforward: Before we can transform a field, we need to master it, to learn the details of the domain. And there's more to learn than ever before.
The complexity of our 21st-century problems has also profoundly influenced the nature of the scientific process. If the old model of innovation revolved around the individual—Einstein had no co-authors on his most important papers and Darwin prized his isolation—modern research is now defined by its collaborations.
Mr. Jones has found, for instance, that scientific teams have become a far more important part of intellectual production. By analyzing 19.9 million peer-reviewed papers and 2.1 million patents, Mr. Jones and his colleagues at Northwestern were able to show that teamwork is a defining trend of modern research. Over the last 50 years, more than 99% of scientific subfields, from computer science to biochemistry, have experienced increased levels of teamwork, with the size of the average team increasing by about 20% per decade.
This shift is even more pronounced among influential papers. While the most cited studies in a field used to be the product of lone geniuses, Mr. Jones has shown that the best research now emerges from groups. It doesn't matter if the scientists are studying particle physics or human genetics. Papers by multiple authors receive more than twice as many citations as those with one author. This trend is even more apparent when it comes to "home run papers"—those publications with at least 1,000 citations—which are more than six times as likely to come from a team.
What's driving this shift toward group problem-solving? Mr. Jones blames it, in part, on the "death of the Renaissance man." Unlike Da Vinci, who made important contributions to such disparate fields as medicine, civil engineering and geology, today's scientists must spend years in graduate school developing an extremely narrow expertise. As a result, they depend on teams to make the crosscutting connections that end up changing the world. All of us are smarter than one of us.
In his State of the Union speech, President Obama listed just a few of the transformative innovations that he hopes to see, from hydrogen fuel cells to a cure for cancer. If we're going to find answers to our hardest questions, we need to begin by rethinking our old assumptions about where these answers will come from. Collaboration is no longer an option—it's a necessity.

Greece update: is now a good time to visit?
Anyone contemplating a trip to Greece is almost certainly aware of the news rocking airwaves and broadsheets around the world, chronicling Greece's economic and political woes. Each round of austerity measures, each bailout by the European Commission (EC), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Central Bank (ECB), known as the 'troika' in Greece, creates a new wave of news. So, naturally, questions arise about the actual state of affairs on the ground for travellers. Below, we tackle some of the dominant questions.
Is Greece a good place to visit this summer?
The resounding answer is yes! People remain welcoming, the culture is rich and the landscapes are amazing.
What should I expect when I get there?
Even Athens and other large cities, which have been hardest hit by the crisis and the reactions to it, are relatively peaceful. Lively neighbourhood life continues. You'll see closed shops, of course, and many people are deeply impacted by what is occurring (pensions cut, jobs lost, taxes raised), but locals largely pick themselves up and carry on. They are welcoming to foreign visitors – perhaps now more than ever, as tourism is about 16.5% of the economy and proprietors are pleased to have business. In the islands and hinterlands (Meteora, Delphi, Pelion, Peloponnese) life remains tranquil and retains the charm for which Greece is renowned: joie de vivre, gorgeous beaches and countryside, filoxenia (hospitality).
Competition for space on beaches, in tavernas and at hotels is lighter than usual, as some travellers have been deterred by news reports (statistics vary, but foreign bookings are down by as much as 25%; domestic tourism – about 25% of the industry – is also down). Nevertheless, popular destinations like Mykonos, Santorini and Corfu are slated to be as crowded as usual, with prices to match. Smaller islands offer a particularly peaceful getaway this summer, such as Paxos, Amorgos and Kastelorizo.
Is there anything I should do differently?
While there have been numerous protests and strikes during the last few years, they primarily impact central Athens. A dose of traveller's savvy will carry you a long way: since demonstrations are usually announced in advance, avoid areas where one is planned. Similarly, strikes (boats, metro and occasionally state workers who operate sights like the Acropolis) are announced. Plan to travel or visit sights on another day.
You might not notice signs that there is an economic battle underway, but in major cities it is worth being security-conscious. There have been reports of increased petty theft, so secret your valuables and don't flash your cash.
Opening hours and prices are changing continuously, so call ahead to ensure a sight or museum will be open, especially if it's something on your 'don't-miss' list.
Pay attention to any new political developments so you are aware if conditions are changing.
What about money?
In big cities many proprietors accept credit cards, but Greece has always been a place where people prefer to receive cash. Using cash does not mean that you are contributing to the undeclared income dilemma: many proprietors give receipts and everything is on the up-and-up. They simply aren't set up for credit cards or don't want to pay credit card company fees that affect their bottom line.
So bring cash and travellers cheques. ATMs are working as normal: bring an ATM/debit card to get euros on the road. In the event of an unforeseen freezing of Greek banks, it would be worth having cash on hand as well, especially in smaller denominations.
How can I help?
Spend your money with Greek companies and on Greek products. If possible, book with Olympic Air (www.olympicair.com) or Aegean Airlines (aegeanair.com). Rather than booking a resort holiday through an international agent or using an internet booking site, which keep a slice of the funds, book directly with hotels (such as those listed in Lonely Planet guidebooks). Eat at local restaurants, not international chains. Buy Greek crafts and products, rather than something manufactured abroad.
What can I do to offset any inconvenience caused by the political situation?
If you are flexible in your travel plans and in your thinking, a day-long strike won't set you back. Book tickets and hotels with flexible refund and change policies, so you can adjust your plans in the event of a strike being announced after you've booked. But if your travel dates are unchangeable, good, comprehensive travel insurance can set your mind at ease.
For English-language strike information visit livingingreece.gr/strikes. For Greek speakers, try www.apergia.gr.
Any last dos and don'ts?
Many Greeks are willing to give an opinion on what's going on. That doesn't mean, though, that they necessarily want to hear your opinion. Be sensitive: some people have had a rough road and are experiencing very real impact from the economic situation. They may not be in the mood to discuss it.

A 76-year-old man who died during a brazen home-invasion robbery Monday likely succumbed to a heart condition, police said.
Preliminary results of an autopsy released Wednesday indicate William Hastings had "severe heart disease" that may have been aggravated by stress he experienced during the robbery, said Lt. Gary Trupe, who heads the Potter-Randall Special Crimes Unit.
The robbery at Hastings' Willow Creek Drive home remained under investigation Wednesday.
Police said two men burst into the home just north of Amarillo and demanded money. A 50-year-old woman who was in the house with Hastings was forced into a closet. His 11-year-old grandson slept through the ordeal in another room.
The crime marked the third home-invasion robbery in the Amarillo area this month.

Packers release 2012 fourth-round pick Jerron McMillian; sign RB Kahlil Bell
GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Four months ago, Jerron McMillian was competing for a starting safety job with the Green Bay Packers during training camp. Now, he's out of a job entirely. The Packers released McMillian on Tuesday, less than two years after Green Bay drafted him in the fourth round.

The Green Bay Packers announced that they have released second-year S Jerron McMillian to make room for RB Kahlil Bell. McMillian, 24, was a fourth-round selection back in 2012, so it is a little surprising to see them part ways with a reasonably high draft pick after less than two years with the team.

The save kept the Brazilian lead at 1-0. 2|9 Netherlands 2, Brazil 1 Wesley Sneijder (10) reacted beautifully to a corner kick that was re-directed by Dirk Kuyt and sent the ball into the back of the net for the game winning goal. 3|9 Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images; AP Netherlands 2, Brazil 1 Felipe Melo, who scored an own goal to give the Dutch their equalizer, was given a straight red card for stomping on the back of Arjen Robben's leg in the 73rd minute.

Uruguay goalkeeper Fernando Muslera kissed the crossbar in a show of gratitude. 8|9 AFP/Getty Images Uruguay 1(4), Ghana 1(2) With a chance to put his team through, Sebastian Abreu buried a kick to give Uruguay the deciding 4-2 edge in penalty kicks.

This has got to be the first casino with the India theme, and while I like the idea, it is poorly done. The site for example looks so 90's, with a bit weird graphics that are just not gonna work nice on new high-res monitors. I see that they accept Indian Rupees, so there's a strong chance you'll see many Indian players around. No instant games here, only downloadable version, and get this, you can order a CD with it! I have never seen a site that offers that option.
Unlike the site, the games look good, and it is a Playtech platform with visually attractive and smooth games.
I wasn't that impressed with the welcoming bonus (don't bother looking for a No Deposit Bonus, you won't find it), and haven't even managed to get through the WR. The support was decent, but I wasn't thrilled because for some reason I had to repeat every single question like five times. Anyway, nice to give it a try, but won't coming back soon.
I've played here with no luck , this casino is blacklisted at other gaming sites beware
just love how this casino does not update the site wonder why. the winners on are 3 years old , is that because they have had no winners in 3 years or just dont care to update there site because they only wanna take your money. negative feed back to casinos where warranted will get it, this casino and group warrant it.
This casino is a few years old and I found Indio casino via google (google all playtech casinos).
This casino doesn't have any no deposit offers so if you looking for one this is not the casino you are looking for.
the currency for this casino is Rand (I think) and it seems a lot if you made a deposit here because of the currency.
Personally I don't like the layout and I think this casino is a cheap one because of it.
I let this casino as it is and let it be!
indio is a really not so populair casino, but if you don't know them you miss out a big piece of great service, awesome promotions and a customer team that's ready 24/7 to help you out with almost everything! website looks really cool technic designed, wagering bonus is bit hard because of there high wager! they have huge section of payment methods available! and also withdrawal options! withdrawals are mostly processed Quickly;) really good casino to play if u prefer Playtech!
amazing bonuses and promotions here. it's one casino that i keep coming back to.

In every textbook on chaos, there are a lot of numerical simulations. A typical example is the Poincare section.
But why is numerical simulation still meaningful if the system is very sensitive to numerical errors?
In every textbook on chaos, there are a lot of numerical simulations. A typical example is the Poincare section.
But why is numerical simulation still meaningful if the system is very sensitive to numerical errors?
Numerical simulations are not always meaningful, as chaos theory belongs to the large subject of dynamical systems theory. Although the definitions differ, chaos generally occurs in three contexts:
Think of two particles having some trajectory. Their motion will be chaotic if with some small perturbation in their position do the trajectories diverge. Your question specifically is about numerical errors, which is related to criteria 1 above. Namely, SDIC implies that a function $f$ has SDIC if there exists some $\delta > 0$, such that $|f^{n}(x) - f^{n}(y)| > \delta$. It turns out that $\delta$ actually is not so small that most good numerical solvers can not handle the numerical simulations. Since chaos theory occurs in most dynamical systems which are typically coupled autonomous ordinary differential equations, there is a wide array of solvers that are able to handle this problem quite well, such as the Runge-Kutta solvers which have a very small numerical error associated with them.
As I said above, which is related to the second part of your question, numerical simulations are not always necessary, most textbooks use them for demonstration purposes to get students interested in dynamical systems. For example, you can generally show a dynamical system to exhibit chaotic motion if the underlying geometry of the geodesics has negative Ricci curvature. This is for Hamiltonian systems only, but, one can always extend a non-Hamiltonian system to a Hamiltonian system by extending the phase space. One can also obtain a whole wealth of information about a system and whether it exhibits chaos by calculating the alpha and omega-limit sets, finding the future and past attractors via Lyapunov, Chetaev, functions, and applying the LaSalle invariance principle. If you would like to read up more on this, the book by Hirsch, Smale, and Devaney is very good.
Three different points of views on essentially the same thing:
It is a valid question to ask whether the computer simulation of a dynamical system is representative of the dynamical behavior of the real system or merely the artifact of roundoff errors caused due to the necessarily finite precision of a real computer.
There is a crucial result regarding this situation called the shadowing theorem [1]. It states that
So when I iterate a chaotic dynamical system starting from an initial condition P, the trajectory that the computer spits out may not be representative of the real position of the dynamical system due to the roundoff errors. However, what there will exist an initial condition Q, such that the real trajectory starting from Q will stay close to my computer generated trajectory from P.
This tells me that if my computer simulation shows me a fractal structure of curves, this structure really is shown by the real dynamical system in that there exist trajectories that shadow the trajectories shown by my computer.
[1] (1993) Ott, E. Chaos in Dynamical Systems, Cambridge University Press, pages 18-19.

They weren't going to draft Spiller anyway.
Did you guys really think they'd draft a part time player in the first round? This trade changes the mid round picks, so they'd pass on Gilyard, Shipley, or Jacoby Ford.
I still could see McCluster being draft though. Same change of pace back, slot WR, return skills, and he comes at cheaper cost.

Our approach to blind image quality assessment (IQA) is based on the hypothesis that natural scenes possess certain statistical properties which are altered in the presence of distortion, rendering them un-natural; and that by characterizing this un-naturalness using scene statistics, one can identify the distortion afflicting the image and perform no-reference (NR) IQA. Based on this theory, we propose an (NR)/blind algorithm-the Distortion Identification-based Image Verity and INtegrity Evaluation (DIIVINE) index-that assesses the quality of a distorted image without need for a reference image. DIIVINE is based on a 2-stage framework involving distortion identification followed by distortion-specific quality assessment. DIIVINE is capable of assessing the quality of a distorted image across multiple distortion categories, as against most NR IQA algorithms that are distortion-specific in nature. DIIVINE is based on natural scene statistics which govern the behavior of natural images. In this paper, we detail the principles underlying DIIVINE, the statistical features extracted and their relevance to perception and thoroughly evaluate the algorithm on the popular LIVE IQA database. Further, we compare the performance of DIIVINE against leading full-reference (FR) IQA algorithms and demonstrate that DIIVINE is statistically superior to the often used measure of peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and statistically equivalent to the popular structural similarity index (SSIM). A software release of DIIVINE has been made available online: http://live.ece.utexas.edu/research/quality/DIIVINE_release.zip for public use and evaluation.
