Robin Thicke has been straddling a few lines, blurred and otherwise, during the past year.
It started out gangbusters last March 26, when the singer released "Blurred Lines," a collaboration with T.I. and Pharrell, as the first single and title track from his sixth album. The track rocketed to No. 1 around the world, with six-times platinum sales in the U.S., taking the album to the top of the charts and it was named the Song of the Summer by Billboard, was the top-selling single of the year and was nominated for a pair of Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year.
And its success was something of a surprise to its maker.
"Fun songs come harder for me," Thicke, 36, said by telephone from Los Angeles around the time of "Blurred Lines" release, "'cause I've always kind of used music to deal with whatever issues are going on in my life and in my heart. So I tend to want to use music to help me through my own problems."
And there have been plenty of problems for Thicke alongside the past year's successes.
Thicke — the son of actor Alan Thicke and actress-singer Gloria Loring — was quickly criticized over the video for "Blurred Lines," which featured Thicke and his cohorts cavorting with topless models. The End Violence Against Women Coalition named Thicke its Sexist of the Year and gave him a coupon to download Aretha Franklin's "Respect." The University of Edinburgh in Scotland banned the video in student buildings at the behest of a student group that felt it "promotes an unhealthy attitude towards sex and consent."
And then Thicke's sexually aggressive performance of the song with Miley Cyrus at last year's MTV Video Music Awards, which gave "twerking" a new foothold in the pop culture vernacular, caused a firestorm that still resonates.
On top of that, Thicke was accused by heirs of Marvin Gaye for plagiarizing the late Motown star's 1971 hit "Got to Give It Up" in "Blurred Lines" — a claim that had some merit, as Thicke himself noted that he told Pharrell "I wanted to do something kinda like Marvin Gaye's 'Got To Give It Up,' that kind of feel, 'cause that's one of my favorite songs of all time. So he started messing with some drums and then he started going 'Hey, hey, hey,' and about an hour and a half later we had the whole record finished."
Thicke himself filed a preliminary lawsuit in Los Angeles to try to prevent Gaye's estate from taking action against him. Gaye's children ultimately sued Thicke in November — with the Bridgeport Music publishing company also accusing him of illegally sampling the Funkadelic song "Sexy Ways."
And on top of everything else, Thicke and his wife of nearly nine years, Paula Patton, announced they were separating last month — due to problems that sources say have been building over the years, though some noted that the performance with Cyrus was one of the breaking points. Thicke told paparazzi that he's "trying to get her back" and has voiced his love for Patton — with whom he has a 3-year-old son, Julian Fuego — during concerts on his latest tour.
Ironically, Thicke credited Patton with inspiring the more upbeat feel of the "Blurred Lines" album at the time of its release.
"We would hang out at the end of the night, and I would play her the songs I was working on and we would dance around and be so happy," Thicke said. "And then some of my sadder and more depressing songs would come on, and we would always want to go back to the top and keep dancing and having a good time.
"So I think I just ended up making an escape album. I never plan it, but I think I did my best to make my wife and I have a chance to escape every night, and I felt like that made for a great album."
"Blurred Lines" was, in general, a high point for Thicke creatively. Besides Pharrell and T.I., it also featured Kendrick Lamar on the track "Give It 2 U," while "Ain't No Hat 4 That" was co-written with his father.
"My dad was at my studio," Thicke recalled. "He's always writing and producing and doing all kinds of little things. And he happened to be working on a little song with my engineer, and I was in the middle of writing a song. And he sat down with me and had some great lyric ideas, and it was actually great 'cause it's the first song him and I have ever written together that I've actually had published since I was a teenager, probably.
"And it was actually great because my son's voice is the voice that starts the song. My little 3-year-old soon and my dad and I got to write it together, so there's three generations of Thickes on that song."
Thicke hasn't scored another single from the album as successful as "Blurred Lines," and he'll be touring through April 26, when he wraps up his North American tour at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival. His personal situation has put future plans up in the air, but music will unquestionably remain in the mix.
"Music is my life force and has been since I was a 12-year-old kid," says Thicke. "You're always trying to make something that either means something or makes people feel good or connects the world a little bit closer. You're always trying to dig in and make something special — whatever 'special' means.
"Half the time I feel like I've made great music, and half the time I feel like I haven't done anything yet. I think that's kind of what an artist has to go through; you have to appreciate the hard work and stuff you've made and then you have to go, 'Man, I can do so much better...'"

So I was wondering who you think the best Chiefs player in the franchise was/is?
I think Gonzalez. What makes him the best, is that he is the best at his position in the entire NFL history and probably will be. He never gets hurt (well at least not enough to slow him down. And he ALWAYS try's his best and never gives up.
Don't even think I didn't think of Derrick Thomas. That guy was a beast and a legend. One of the reasons I didn't pick him is cause his career came short, due to the accident he was involved in LITERATELY a few miles from my house. :(

Compuware's involvement in mobile APM dates back to 2009 when the company delivered its first mobile synthetic testing solution.
Focused on both mobile application developers and operations teams, this SaaS-based tool monitors mobile performance from what Compuware calls "the real user" perspective. The suggestion here is that developers will have the ability to analyze who is using their mobile applications; see performance by device and browser; know the impact of device characteristics such as signal strength, battery charge, and memory; all with integrated crash detection and diagnostics.
This insight is hoped to enable developers and operations staff to proactively address performance issues and maximize business results, which is arguably of critical importance as mobile engagement continues its explosive growth.
"Our customers tell us they need better solutions for managing mobile applications. They started with crash analytics, but as mobile applications have become mainstream, they now want crash, performance, and business analytics all in one easy-to-use solution," said Steve Tack, VP of product management for Compuware's APM business unit.
"As mobile applications become industrialized, operations, development, and business teams are looking for all three dimensions in a single mobile APM solution."

Is there a Mag team that needs an old and slow Texan?

U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack spent nearly three hours at Glenwood Community High School Thursday afternoon discussing flooding along the Missouri River and its impact on agriculture.
Vilsack shared information with an audience of approximately 100 Iowa and Nebraska farmers, elected officials and representatives from various governmental agencies.
The former Iowa governor assured farmers that federal crop insurance would help cover crop losses resulting from this year's flooding. Vilsack said the flooding is "unequivocally natural," despite ongoing criticism of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' Missouri River management practices. Vilsack said the flooding downstream is the result of snowpacked mountains and unusually heavy rainfall in Montana and the Dakotas.
Vilsack cautioned farmers about labeling the flood as a "man-made disaster," noting insurance companies that have been hit with billions of dollars in disaster payouts in recent years could interpret the language as a reason to deny claims.
Vilsack also told farmers not to count on additional assistance from the federal government at a time when Congress is making deep spending cuts. Agriculture, Vilsack said, is taking a substantial hit from the congressional budget ax. He noted that the U.S. Department of Agriculture's budget was trimmed by 10 percent last year and now faces an additional 13 percent reduction in funding this year.
"For some reason, folks look at ag programs as some kind of cash cow," Vilsack said.
Several farmers in attendance at Thursday's meeting shared concerns with Vilsack.
David Sieck, whose family has farmed in western Mills County for generations, said river management decisions by the Corps of Engineers aren't always made in the best interest of agriculture. Sieck said farmers are feeling the brunt of the impact of those decisions through lower yields, which eventually lead to lower crop insurance payments.
Sieck and other farmers in the audience said they've been voicing concerns for several years about the corps' river management practices and the potential for a disaster like the one unfolding this year.
Fremont County farmer Dave Johnson called the situation "serious, serious stuff."
"Do you understand how big this is to us?" Johnson asked. "We've got people who have lived on the (river) bottom for 75 years. They've been displaced and are going to need a new home. We'll have no crop this fall and may not get a crop planted next year."
Johnson explained crop insurance will pay him 75 percent of his average yield, but the average yield is low based on a formula that accounts for previous flooding.
"I'm sitting out there with the best crop I ever had," Johnson told Vilsack. "Insurance is probably going to pay me for 130 bushels per acre. I'm going to lose 70 bushels per acre on corn, at $6 or $7 per bushel."
Vilsack said it was evident from the farmers' comments and questions that the Corps of Engineers needs to do a better job of explaining its priorities and decision-making process to property owners along both sides of the Missouri River.
"You're owed an explanation of the current situation and you're also owed an explanation about a shift in priorities and how and when those were made," Vilsack said. "You folks have been saying for years that this was going to happen. Nobody listened to you because it didn't happen."
Vilsack said he wants farmers to have a stronger say in the Corps of Engineers' decisions and he will share their concerns with corps officials. He promised to followup with those in attendance at Thursday's meeting after he's had an opportunity to explore their concerns.

TOKYO — Gaping mouths, gigantic horns, piercing slanted eyes — with more than 100 scary yet approachable "monsters" on the counter and shelves, customers cheerfully chat about monsters at a bar in Nakano, Tokyo.
Takao Nakano opened the Dai-kaiju Saron (big monster bar) in 2011 in a shopping arcade near JR Nakano Station, with the aim of turning it into a place similar to a mom-and-pop candy store.
Nakano, 51, who also works as a film director, opens the cafe-bar on Wednesdays and the second Saturday of each month, renting the space from an acquaintance on those days.
Mucho the hostess monster welcomes customers to the bar. Monster costumes and figures in the bar were made by Nakano's friend, Piko-Piko, 45, a self-claimed "monster artist."
"I created Mucho, paying special attention to the body lines to emphasize femininity," he said. He sometimes wears full-body suits himself and performs in them.
Hundreds of dolls and full-body suits fill Piko-Piko's home and workshop, where he crafts his new monster creations.
"I want to create something no one has seen before, which will still be accessible to everyone," the artist said.
He receives many requests for his "monsters" to appear on TV and in music videos. Most recently, his monsters were featured in videos for the British rock band Muse and Japanese pop group V6.
Nakano grew up in the heart of the "monster boom" sparked by TV programs including "Ultraman" and "Maguma Taishi" (Ambassador Magma).
"In the end, the monster always loses to the strong, cool hero," Nakano said. "I think many people empathize with monsters not only because of their unique appearances, but also because of their fate."

I just wanted to ask how it is that alot of people would love to have EB but some of the same people want to trade out of our pick.
One other thing is that so many people are caught on the money he will make if we pick him at #5, but we are going to have to pay that same money to someone why can't it be one of our biggest needed areas of the D.
If another D line guy is picked what % of the team salary will be used ON 3 GUYS?
I say Berry at #5, pay the man and watch the fireworks he can produce.

Judge: 12 months in prison 'a wake-up call'
After Kenneth Furlong's attorney asked the judge to consider not sending his client to prison, Furlong was sentenced to 12 to 20 months with the Michigan Department of Corrections by Judge David Hoort in Ionia County 8th Circuit Court. He may be eligible for boot camp after serving six months of the sentence. His sentence also includes fines, cost and fees.
Furlong, 41, of Vermontville, had pleaded guilty to one count of operating and maintaining a meth lab. A second charge was dismissed pursuant to his plea.
He was arrested in July after a Michigan State Police trooper and an Ionia County deputy responded to a possible breaking and entering in progress in the 400 block of Woods Road. During the investigation, authorities discovered an active meth lab inside a pole barn where they said Furlong admitted to cooking meth. Detectives from the CMET responded to assist and process the scene.
Furlong's attorney, David Mierendorf, told the court he believes the statute pertaining to the charges against Furlong was intended "for people making up meth to sell.
"(Furlong) didn't do harm to anyone. His intent was to give himself more energy to support his family," Mierendorf said. "He was not intending to do it for profit or further drug trade, it was used for personal use. It was not right, but I don't think warehousing in prison is the answer."
Mierendorf added that his client has a good work record with no history of drug use, and that he wants to be "a productive member of society," to maintain his job and support his family.
"He demonstrated an error in judgment. But this is a one-time event," Mierendorf said of Furlong. "There are substantial offenders in society (whose cases are) really heinous. Those are not difficult cases. ... (Furlong) wants to maintain a positive position in society. I ask you not to send him to prison for 12 months."
Hoort said jail is "more friendly" and he likes to use prison "as a wake-up call.
"By no means are you going to prison for the rest of your life," he said. "Still, there is that impact, not only on you but on anyone else who looks at severe consequences if they operate a meth lab."
Hoort said he hoped prison would help Furlong make a commitment "never to do anything like this again" and that anyone else who thinks about doing anything like this "will think twice.
"I disagree with your lawyer. Just because you are not a meth dealer doesn't mean this is not serious," Hoort said.
Some discussion during sentencing about the guidelines and scoring for Furlong resulted in a longer sentence (the original range was 0 to 18 months). Hoort offered Furlong the opportunity to withdraw his plea, but he declined.

Starr Cookman and Kylee Moreland Fenton have been inseparable since childhood. They live on the same street. Kylee, a nurse, was present for the delivery of Starr's son, Rowan. And when Rowan came home from the hospital breathing rapidly and spitting up his food, both friends were alarmed — even when the pediatrician said he was doing fine.
"Then I said, 'I'm concerned. Why would he just for no reason be breathing a hundred times a minute?' " Kylee recalls asking. With that, the doctor sent them to the children's hospital. That visit saved Rowan's life. There was something wrong with Rowan's heart — and he was rushed to surgery.
"And I remember like looking at you and thinking, 'Wow, we really are two sides of the same heart,' " Starr tells Kylee. "Boy, if we ever wondered why we were given this friendship ..."
Rowan is now almost 13, and not a day goes by, Kylee says, that she doesn't look at her friend's son and think about how lucky they are to have him.
Audio produced for Morning Edition by Nadia Reiman.This story is part of a collection of interviews in Ties That Bind, a book by StoryCorps founder Dave Isay.
And it's time now for StoryCorps. Today, a conversation more than three decades in the making. That's how long Starr Cookman and Kylee Moreland Fenton have been friends, since their childhood in Tucson. They came to StoryCorps to talk about their friendship. We'll hear from Starr first.
STARR COOKMAN: I remember in the sixth grade, we were connected at the hip. And we made it official by our blood-sister ceremony. We took a cactus needle. I was going to prick your thumb; you were gonna prick my thumb. So it was time for me to prick your finger, and I just couldn't do it. So you pricked your own finger. And I think at that point, we knew that you were going to be a nurse.
KYLEE MORELAND FENTON: You said to me that people move places and change careers for our spouses. Why can't we do that for our friendship? That was a pretty tall order for a couple of 13-year-olds.
COOKMAN: And here we are. We're living right down the street from each other, and you were there during the delivery of my first child. I remember, we bring home Rowan from the hospital, and then I noticed that he had been spitting up his feedings.
FENTON: I remember just watching him breathe. He was breathing so fast, and I remember feeling very alarmed.
COOKMAN: So I called the pediatrician and the doctor took his pulses and they seemed OK. And of course, me wanting it to be all OK, I was like, you know, he's fine.
FENTON: Then I said, I'm concerned. Why would he just for no reason be breathing a hundred times a minute?
COOKMAN: And so then, well, the doctor says they're going to think I'm crazy at Children's Hospital, but I really think that you guys should go there and get a chest X-ray. So we went together.
FENTON: And the attending came in. He listened to his heart with his stethoscope; and he listened and he listened, and then he got up and he shut the door. And he came back, and he listened some more.
COOKMAN: And then he looks at me and says Rowan has something wrong with his heart. I think we're gonna need to admit him and do surgery as soon as possible. At that moment you knew instinctively what to do.
COOKMAN: And I remember like looking at you and thinking, wow, we really are two sides of the same heart. Boy, if we ever wondered why we were given this friendship...
FENTON: I don't think a day goes by that I don't look at that beautiful 6-year-old with that scar on his chest and think how lucky we are to have him.
GREENE: That's Kylee Moreland Fenton and her best friend, Starr Cookman, at StoryCorps in Hartford, Conn. Their interview will be archived at the Library of Congress. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

CHESTER — Three games, three goals and Jack McInerney swears he's just doing his thing.
The third-year striker — and first-year regular — has required some time to find his place in the Union attack. And after ending a nine-match scoreless drought with a three-match scoring streak, it seems he's nice and cozy as the Union's target man.
McInerney's tally in the 73rd minute broke a scoreless match and gave the Union a 1-0 victory over the New England Revolution Saturday night at PPL Park.
"I feel like we're just creating a lot of opportunities and right now I'm the one on the end of them all," said McInerney, who tallied for the seventh time this season.
The win over the Revolution (7-17-8), one of the few Eastern Conference teams at which the Union (10-15-6) aren't staring up at, helped solidify the club's first winning streak in three months. Not since winning July 8 and July 14 had the Union strung together a pair of wins.
McInerney, a 20-year-old striker, became a starter after John Hackworth unseated Peter Nowak as Union manager. He's had a topsy-turvy campaign. At times, he's played like the point man the Union need both this season and beyond. At other spots, he's looked lost.
McInerney knew exactly where he needed to be Saturday, putting down roots at the 6-yard line to await midfielder Keon Daniel's free kick from the right side of the pitch. There, McInerney rose above a pack to deposit his eighth goal of the season.
Daniel played superbly in his second consecutive start, delivering a number of on-the-mark free kicks. It just so happened that McInerney was able to put one in.
"I proved that I can score goals at the youth level and that's why Coach Hack drafted me here," McInerney said. "For him to give me the opportunity and for me to finally put in goals game after game shows his belief in me and my ability."
It was the fourth time in franchise history that a Union player scored a goal in three consecutive matches.
But McInerney didn't win it alone.
Union goalkeeper Zac MacMath kept things level in the 70th minute, prior to McInerney's tally. MacMath broke down the Revolution's Fernando Cardenas' every move at the outer edge of the box. Ultimately, MacMath prevented Cardenas from ripping off a shot just long enough for Union defenders Ray Gaddis and Carlos Valdes to catch up and prevent trouble.
"It was a good ball in. You have to be ready early on," MacMath said. "I stayed on my line and it came right to me. I made a good reaction to it."
MacMath looked even better in the 86th, sprawling out to get in front of a head-flicked free kick from New England's Ryan Guy. The save solidified MacMath's eighth shutout.
"It happens a lot in practice, with guys dancing over the ball," he said. "I was fortunate I didn't bite on it or anything."
McInerney, who came off in the 81st minute in favor of veteran defender Chris Albright, overcame a series of close calls to collect the game-winning tally — the fourth of his MLS career.
In the 11th minute, on a breakaway opportunity, McInerney rushed his run into the right side of the box and pushed his right-footed shot well past the far post. McInerney was involved again in the 53rd, putting his forehead on a free-kick cross from Daniel, but pushing it well over the crossbar.
"That's what goal scorers do. They've got to forget about the last one and they've got to go right back at it," Hackworth said. "Jack was unlucky not to be on the board early in that first half. I just told him, 'Don't put your head down. Just keep knocking,' and he did."

Electric car enthusiasts as well as skeptics will be watching Tesla Motors (TSLA) on Wednesday as the Palo Alto-based automaker holds its quarterly earnings call, the first since its high-profile feud with The New York Times over an unflattering review of a Model S road trip.
The main thing they'll be looking for is how many Model S vehicles were delivered to customers in the fourth quarter, whether or not the company has succeeded in ramping up production of the new luxury sedan and the pace of new reservations for the car.
In November, Tesla said it was on track to deliver 2,500 to 3,000 units of the all-electric Model S sedan in the fourth quarter after delivering just 250 cars in the third quarter.
Many analysts, including Ben Kallo, a senior research analyst at Robert W. Baird, expect Tesla to reach its target.
"We have them coming in at 3,013 cars for the year," Kallo said.
Tesla has promised to reach a 400-car-per-week rate this year at its Fremont factory, which would allow the company to produce 20,000 vehicles a year. And as Tesla ramps up production, many hope to see costs, including sizable research and development costs, coming down.
CEO Elon Musk, along with CFO Deepak Ahuja, always participates in the quarterly conference call that follows the earnings release. Musk typically fields many of the questions.
Kallo said he wants to know how many new customers have put down $5,000 to reserve a Model S and how many of those reservations have been canceled. He wonders if some potential Model S buyers were spooked earlier this month when New York Times reporter John Broder wrote a story about his botched East Coast road trip in a Model S that resulted in the vehicle being rescued by a tow truck. Musk responded with a blistering blog post that defended the car and attacked Broder for what Musk claimed was deliberately setting out to write a negative review.
Tesla does not typically break out reservations by region, but the largest market for the Model S outside of the United States is Europe. There is strong demand from Norway and Denmark, where electric vehicles are excluded from high import taxes. And as Tesla rolls out more stores -- it plans to open a showroom in Beijing this spring -- that should drive ever-higher numbers of reservations.
"Nothing should matter more than the pace of net reservations," said Aaron Chew of the Maxim Group. "They exited the third quarter with 13,000 reservations. In my view, they need at least 2,500 new reservations for the quarter."
Andrea James, an analyst with Dougherty & Co., is also focused on reservations. As the company moves through the reservation list and fulfills orders for early adopters, the question for Tesla becomes its ability to breakthrough to mainstream consumers.
"I'd like to see that they are sold out," said James. "That will help prove that demand is there to people who are still not believers. This is the year where Tesla is going to prove whether or not its model works."
Tesla's stock rose more than 6 percent Tuesday, to close at $39.29, after Margaret Sullivan, The New York Times public editor, took reporter John Broder to task for errors in judgment and "taking what seem to be casual and imprecise notes along the journey." Others, including CNN, CNBC and a group of devoted Model S owners have recreated Broder's rode trip with no problems.
Tesla published a new blog post from Musk on Tuesday that thanked Sullivan for looking into the matter and thanked customers who "rallied immediately to the defense of Tesla and the electric car revolution."
"The bottom line is that the Model S combined with Supercharging works well for a long road trip, even in a cold, snowy winter," wrote Musk in the blog post. "Nonetheless, we will keep increasing the number of Superchargers, improving the software in the car (via over the air updates), and the technology behind the Supercharger itself."
Tesla reports earnings at 2:30 Wednesday, after the close of the stock market.

The city of Boulder granted a business incentive to Upslope Brewing Co. authorizing up to $50,000 in rebates on certain taxes and fees paid by the burgeoning craft brewer.
Upslope, which opened its doors in late 2008 in a warehouse unit off Lee Hill Road, currently is building a second brewery in Boulder.
The 17,000-square-foot brewery and tap room at 1898 S. Flatiron Court is on track to open by mid-April, Upslope founder Matt Cutter said, noting the timing is dependent upon the timing of permits and required inspections.
Production already has started at the new 30-barrel brewhouse, which is expected to produce roughly 12,000 barrels of beer annually, Cutter said.
"The money already has been allocated for budget overages," Cutter said of the new brewery's cost. "(The rebate incentive) is going to close that gap."
The incentive was awarded as part of the city's 2012 flexible rebate program, an economic vitality initiative designed to help retain local employers and spur business development. Once companies are approved for the incentive, they have to submit related receipts to city officials who then evaluate the documents and reimburse the company up to the amount approved by the city manager.

No Jackie, you don't have to LIU (look it up).
I am determined to initiate here on this thread a Socratic discussion about the nature of words and human existence. Starting tomorrow.
Tonight I am being entertained by a Kentucky gentleman named Evan Williams. He makes me giddy and I want to be clear-headed when I explain what Faldage won't explain because he has yet to understand what he has read. Maverick might; tsuwm might; Rubarb surely might; and AC and the BranShea and the rest of the gang surely will.
See you tomorrow.

It might be helpful to know that our normal perceptions "see" only a tiny sliver of the world about us. Eagleman introduces to us the words Umwelt and Umgebung. The latter is the real universe we inhabit and the former that sliver of it which we perceive.

In the beginning was the word;
and the word was with God;
and the word was God.
Read this passage from John 1.1 closely. Then read it again. Burn it into your brain. This is important. If it wasn't I wouldn't have put it there
Was there ever a absolute void? If there was we can never comprehend it. A total absence of everything (except as an abstract) is incomprehensible simply because our sensory system for collecting information about the world around us operates within a linear frame of ever-progressive Time where cause precedes effect. In our world not even the tiniest "something" can pop into existence from a Universe of absolute nothing.
...to be continued. (posting problems)

So like science let's start in the middle (after the unknown something has already banged) and build a Universe around the last Big Bang*. Here Science is in its realm. Observation and computation and sometimes thinking are the prime investigating tools of their trade. But (like language) the tools they use give them fuzzy outlines. We will return to this later.
These are exciting times for xplanet astrometry. As of last month 26 planets have been found circling other stars. New xplanets are being found almost daily but so far no one xplanet has been seen, rather, they have been inferred by the gravitation wobble they cause as they circle their Sun. So far about one in six stars are found to have a planet. To extrapolate there are probably 26,000,000,000,000 planets in this Universe.
*Of coure, we don't know how many times our Universe has exploded and contracted or how many Universes if any, are beyond our own.
Note: I have to chop up my points here on AWAD because there is a limit to what you can see as you write.

so write it offline in an editor (e.g., Notepad) and paste it in your little post box, viz.:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the general notion of determinism in philosophy. For other uses, see Determinism (disambiguation).
Not to be confused with Fatalism, Predeterminism, or Predictability.
Determinism is a metaphysical philosophical position stating that for everything that happens there are conditions such that, given those conditions, nothing else could happen. "There are many determinisms, depending upon what pre-conditions are considered to be determinative of an event."[1] Determinism throughout the history of philosophy has sprung from diverse considerations, some of which overlap. Some forms of determinism can be tested empirically with ideas stemming from physics and the philosophy of physics. The opposite of determinism is some kind of indeterminism (otherwise called nondeterminism). Determinism is often contrasted with free will.[2]
Determinism often is taken to mean simply causal determinism, that is, basing determinism upon the idea of cause-and-effect. It is the concept that events within a given paradigm are bound by causality in such a way that any state (of an object or event) is completely determined by prior states. This meaning can be distinguished from other varieties of determinism mentioned below.
The introduction of "cause-and-effect" introduces unnecessary complications related to what is meant by a 'cause' and how the presence of a 'cause' might be established, the interpretation of which varies from one physical theory to another. These complications are avoided by a more general formulation based upon connections between 'events' supplied by a theory:
"a theory is deterministic if, and only if, given its state variables for some initial period, the theory logically determines a unique set of values for those variables for any other period."[3]
�Ernest Nagel, Alternative descriptions of physical state p. 292
This quote replaces the idea of 'cause-and-effect' with that of 'logical implication' according to one or another theory that connects events. In addition, an 'event' is related by the theory itself to formalized states described using the parameters defined by that theory. Thus, the details of interpretation are placed where they belong, fitted to the context in which the chosen theory applies.
Other debates often concern the scope of determined systems, with some maintaining that the entire universe (or multiverse) is a single determinate system and others identifying other more limited determinate systems. For example, using the definition of physical determinism above, the limitations of a theory to some particular domain of experience also limits the associated definition of 'determinism' to that same domain.
There are numerous historical debates involving many philosophical positions and varieties of determinism. They include debates concerning determinism and free will, technically denoted as compatibilistic (allowing the two to coexist) and incompatibilistic (denying their coexistence is a possibility).
Determinism should not be confused with self-determination of human actions by reasons, motives, and desires. Determinism rarely requires that perfect prediction be practically possible � merely predictable in theory.
Many philosophical theories of determinism frame themselves with the idea that reality follows a sort of predetermined path
Causal determinism is "the idea that every event is necessitated by antecedent events and conditions together with the laws of nature".[4] However, causal determinism is a broad enough term to consider that "one's deliberations, choices, and actions will often be necessary links in the causal chain that brings something about. In other words, even though our deliberations, choices, and actions are themselves determined like everything else, it is still the case, according to causal determinism, that the occurrence or existence of yet other things depends upon our deliberating, choosing and acting in a certain way".[5] Causal determinism proposes that there is an unbroken chain of prior occurrences stretching back to the origin of the universe. The relation between events may not be specified, nor the origin of that universe. Causal determinists believe that there is nothing uncaused or self-caused. Historical determinism (a sort of path dependence) can also be synonymous with causal determinism.
Nomological determinism (sometimes called 'scientific' determinism, although that is a misnomer) is the most common form of causal determinism. It is the notion that the past and the present dictate the future entirely and necessarily by rigid natural laws, that every occurrence results inevitably from prior events. Quantum mechanics and various interpretations thereof pose a serious challenge to this view. Nomological determinism is sometimes illustrated by the thought experiment of Laplace's demon.[6]
Physical determinism holds holds that all physical events occur as described by physical laws.[7][8] Depending upon definitions, there is some room here for the view that not everything in the universe must be tied to some physical state, but that view is not usually emphasized by adherents of physical determinism because of the widely accepted scientific view that the operation of all physical systems (often unnecessarily taken to mean everything) can be explained entirely in physical terms, the assumed causal closure of physics.
Necessitarianism is very related to the causal determinism described above. It is a metaphysical principle that denies all mere possibility; there is exactly one way for the world to be. Leucippus claimed there were no uncaused events, and that everything occurs for a reason and by necessity.[9]
Predeterminism is the idea that all events are determined in advance.[10][11] The concept of predeterminism is often argued by invoking causal determinism, implying that there is an unbroken chain of prior occurrences stretching back to the origin of the universe. In the case of predeterminism, this chain of events has been pre-established, and human actions cannot interfere with the outcomes of this pre-established chain. Predeterminism can be used to mean such pre-established causal determinism, in which case it is categorised as a specific type of determinism.[10][12] It can also be used interchangeably with causal determinism - in the context of its capacity to determine future events.[10][13] Despite this, predeterminism is often considered as independent of causal determinism.[14][15] The term predeterminism is also frequently used in the context of biology and hereditary, in which case it represents a form of biological determinism.[16]
Fatalism is normally distinguished from "determinism".[17] Fatalism is the idea that everything is fated to happen, so that humans have no control over their future. Fate has arbitrary power, and need not follow any causal or otherwise deterministic laws.[18] Types of Fatalism include hard theological determinism and the idea of predestination, where there is a God who determines all that humans will do. This may be accomplished either by knowing their actions in advance, via some form of omniscience[19] or by decreeing their actions in advance.[20]
Theological determinism is a form of determinism which states that all events that happen are pre-ordained, or predestined to happen, by a monotheistic deity, or that they are destined to occur given its omniscience. Two forms of theological determinism exist, here referenced as strong and weak theological determinism.[21] The first one, strong theological determinism, is based on the concept of a creator deity dictating all events in history: "everything that happens has been predestined to happen by an omniscient, omnipotent divinity".[22] The second form, weak theological determinism, is based on the concept of divine foreknowledge - "because God's omniscience is perfect, what God knows about the future will inevitably happen, which means, consequently, that the future is already fixed".[23] There exist slight variations on the above categorisation. Some claim that theological determinism requires predestination of all events and outcomes by the divinity (i.e. they do not classify the weaker version as 'theological determinism' unless libertarian free will is assumed to be denied as a consequence), or that the weaker version does not constitute 'theological determinism' at all.[24] With respect to free will, "theological determinism is the thesis that God exists and has infallible knowledge of all true propositions including propositions about our future actions", more minimal criteria designed to encapsulate all forms of theological determinism.[25] Theological determinism can also be seen as a form of causal determinism, in which the antecedent conditions are the nature and will of God.[5]
Logical determinism or Determinateness is the notion that all propositions, whether about the past, present, or future, are either true or false. Note that one can support Causal Determinism without necessarily supporting Logical Determinism and vice versa (depending on one's views on the nature of time, but also randomness). The problem of free will is especially salient now with Logical Determinism: how can choices be free, given that propositions about the future already have a truth value in the present (i.e. it is already determined as either true or false)? This is referred to as the problem of future contingents.
Adequate determinism focuses on the fact that, even without a full understanding of microscopic physics, we can predict the distribution of 1000 coin tosses
Often synonymous with Logical Determinism are the ideas behind Spatio-temporal Determinism or Eternalism: the view of special relativity. J. J. C. Smart, a proponent of this view, uses the term "tenselessness" to describe the simultaneous existence of past, present, and future. In physics, the "block universe" of Hermann Minkowski and Albert Einstein assumes that time is a fourth dimension (like the three spatial dimensions). In other words, all the other parts of time are real, like the city blocks up and down a street, although the order in which they appear depends on the driver (see Rietdijk�Putnam argument).
Adequate determinism is the idea that quantum indeterminacy can be ignored for most macroscopic events. This is because of quantum decoherence. Random quantum events "average out" in the limit of large numbers of particles (where the laws of quantum mechanics asymptotically approach the laws of classical mechanics).[26] Stephen Hawking explains a similar idea: he says that the microscopic world of quantum mechanics is one of determined probabilities. That is, quantum effects rarely alter the predictions of classical mechanics, which are quite accurate (albeit still not perfectly certain) at larger scales.[27] Something as large as an animal cell, then, would be "adequately determined" (even in light of quantum indeterminacy).
Nature and nurture interact in humans. A scientist looking at a sculpture after some time does not ask whether we are seeing the effects of the starting materials OR environmental influences.
Although some of the above forms of determinism concern human behaviors and cognition, others frame themselves as an answer to the Nature or Nurture debate. They will suggest that one factor will entirely determine behavior. As scientific understanding has grown, however, the strongest versions of these theories have been widely rejected as a single cause fallacy.[28]
In other words, the modern deterministic theories attempt to explain how the interaction of both nature and nurture is entirely predictable. The concept of heritability has been helpful to make this distinction.
Biological determinism, sometimes called Genetic determinism, is the idea that each of our behaviors, beliefs, and desires are fixed by our genetic nature.
Behaviorism is the idea that all behavior can be traced to specific causes�either environmental or reflexive. This Nurture-focused determinism was developed by John B. Watson and B. F. Skinner.
Cultural determinism or social determinism is the nurture-focused theory that it is the culture in which we are raised that determines who we are.
Environmental determinism is also known as climatic or geographical determinism. It holds the view that the physical environment, rather than social conditions, determines culture. Supporters often also support Behavioral determinism. Key proponents of this notion have included Ellen Churchill Semple, Ellsworth Huntington, Thomas Griffith Taylor and possibly Jared Diamond, although his status as an environmental determinist is debated.[29]
A technological determinist might suggest that technology like the mobile phone is the greatest factor shaping human civilization.
Other 'deterministic' theories actually seek only to highlight the importance of a particular factor in predicting the future. These theories often use the factor as a sort of guide or constraint on the future. They need not suppose that complete knowledge of that one factor would allow us to make perfect predictions.
Psychological determinism can mean that humans must act according to reason, but it can also be synonymous with some sort of Psychological egoism. The latter is the view that humans will always act according to their perceived best interest.
Linguistic determinism claims that our language determines (at least limits) the things we can think and say and thus know. The Sapir�Whorf hypothesis argues that individuals experience the world based on the grammatical structures they habitually use.
Economic determinism is the theory which attributes primacy to the economic structure over politics in the development of human history. It is associated with the dialectical materialism of Karl Marx.
Technological determinism is a reductionist theory that presumes that a society's technology drives the development of its social structure and cultural values. Media determinism, a subset of technological determinism, is a philosophical and sociological position which posits the power of the media to impact society. Two leading media determinists are the Canadian scholars Harold Innis and Marshall McLuhan.

Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in Latin America: of its 9.5 million population, two thirds overall – 80 percent in rural areas – live below the poverty line.
Over the last ten years, stunting in children under 5 has remained at 27 percent nationally and 37 percent in rural areas, exceeding 40 percent in the most food-insecure municipalities, according to a 2005 WFP consumption and nutrition survey.
Access is the main cause of food insecurity in Bolivia. The income of 40 percent of the total population -59 in rural areas- is insufficient to meet basic food needs. According to a 2005 vulnerability analysis and mapping (VAM) report, this figure increases to 72 percent for households in the most food-insecure municipalities, where 63 percent of households cannot provide the minimum caloric intake.
The largely rural and indigenous population in these municipalities depends heavily on subsistence agriculture; during the lean seasons people experience food deficits, and frequent natural disasters make agriculture an unreliable source of income. These factors affect the nutritional status of children, causing serious levels of chronic malnutrition.
WFP Activities
The country programme in Bolivia has three objectives:
- contribute to the reduction of child malnutrition;
- improve enrolment, attendance and capacity to concentrate and learn among primary schoolchildren and street children; and
- enhance emergency preparedness and response capacity.
Activities will be implemented to strengthen government capacity to manage food-base programmes, involving all three main objectives to support a gradual handover of activities. The CP will be implemented in the 52 priority municipalities, identified by the Zero Malnutrition Programme of the Bolivian government.
Component 1: Integrated Programme for Children aged 2 to 5
This component aims to improve the nutritional status of 45,000 children between 2 and 5 years of age attending nurseries in rural areas, through on-site food aid. As in previous years, municipalities and parents will complement WFP rations with fresh food.
This component will be carried out under the Zero Malnutrition Programme. WFP will enhance the government's technical capacity through the United Nations joint programme, in partnership with FAO, UNICEF, UNIDO, WHO and UNDP to develop: (i) nutritional training, promotion of healthy food habits and pre- and post-natal care for mothers; (ii) logistics and supply chain management of fortified complementary food for children under 2; (iii) a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) system for the fortified complementary food consumption; (iv) introduction of a new model of nutritional care and surveillance centers, known as integrated nutritional units (INUs); and (v) promotion of local food production. All these will require additional resources, which will be co-funded by the Government and donors under the Zero Malnutrition Programme.
Component 2: Support for the National School Feeding Programme
This component aims to enable 80,000 school-age children of 6 to 14 years in the 52 most food-insecure municipalities to attend school continuously and improve their ability to concentrate and assimilate information, through alleviating short-term hunger.
Through the school feeding programme, the National Development Programme will promote the use of traditional foods and the establishment of local food markets. WFP will advocate for the establishment of gardens and small livestock development projects in school. Most of these complementary activities will be carried out by the sustainable school feeding project funded by the European Union.
Food will be procured locally by the municipalities, with technical assistance from WFP, and will provide one meal to complement the WFP dry ration. This will help create municipal-level capacities for procuring food for the school feeding programme, which includes essential capacity development and training components to enable local governments to manage and implement the programme.
This component includes support for street children. WFP will help improve their education by supporting public shelters and boarding institutions that run education programmes for child workers and street children. Implementing partners, mainly non-governmental organizations, will provide training, health care and psychological support.
Component 3: Strengthening Emergency Preparedness and Response Capacities
This component aims to enhance capacity in risk management in national, regional and local institutions, focusing on preparedness and response to reduce the impact of natural disasters on livelihoods, especially for the rural poor, and to contribute to a long-term solution to malnutrition.
Among the expected outcomes are the establishment of a national response system with national and regional contingency plans and logistics networks, and improved capacity in the management of emergency food aid for young children, impact evaluation, emergency needs assessment, project formulation and integrated programmes for early response.
