John Bell's great achievement was that during the 1960s he was able to breathe new and exciting life into the foundations of quantum theory, a topic seemingly exhausted by the outcome of the Bohr-Einstein debate thirty years earlier, and ignored by virtually all those who used quantum theory in the intervening period. Bell was able to show that discussion of such concepts as 'realism', 'determinism' and 'locality' could be sharpened into a rigorous mathematical statement, 'Bell's inequality', which is capable of experimental test. Such tests, steadily increasing in power and precision, have been carried out over the last thirty years.
Indeed, almost wholly due to Bell's pioneering efforts, the subject of quantum foundations, experimental as well as theoretical and conceptual, has became a focus of major interest for scientists from many countries, and has taught us much of fundamental importance, not just about quantum theory, but about the nature of the physical universe.
In addition, and this could scarcely have been predicted even as recently as the mid-1990s, several years after Bell's death, many of the concepts studied by Bell and those who developed his work have formed the basis of the new subject area of quantum information theory, which includes such topics as quantum computing and quantum cryptography. Attention to quantum information theory has increased enormously over the last few years, and the subject seems certain to be one of the most important growth areas of science in the twenty-first century.
John Stewart Bell's parents had both lived in the north of Ireland for several generations. His father was also named John, so John Stewart has always been called Stewart within the family. His mother, Annie, encouraged the children to concentrate on their education, which, she felt, was the key to a fulfilling and dignified life. However, of her four children - John had an elder sister, Ruby, and two younger brothers, David and Robert - only John was able to stay on at school much over fourteen. Their family was not well-off, and at this time there was no universal secondary education, and to move from a background such as that of the Bells to university was exceptionally unusual.
Bell himself was interested in books, and particularly interested in science from an early age. He was extremely successful in his first schools, Ulsterville Avenue and Fane Street, and, at the age of eleven, passed with ease his examination to move to secondary education. Unfortunately the cost of attending one of Belfast's prestigious grammar schools was prohibitive, but enough money was found for Bell to move to the Belfast Technical High School, where a full academic curriculum which qualified him for University entrance was coupled with vocational studies.
Bell then spent a year as a technician in the Physics Department at Queen's University Belfast, where the senior members of staff in the Department, Professor Karl Emeleus and Dr Robert Sloane, were exceptionally helpful, lending Bell books and allowing him to attend the first year lectures. Bell was able to enter the Department as a student in 1945. His progress was extremely successful, and he graduated with First-Class Honours in Experimental Physics in 1948. He was able to spend one more year as a student, in that year achieving a second degree, again with First-Class Honours, this time in Mathematical Physics. In Mathematical Physics, his main teacher was Professor Peter Paul Ewald, famous as one of the founders of X-ray crystallography; Ewald was a refugee from Nazi Germany.
Bell was already thinking deeply about quantum theory, not just how to use it, but its conceptual meaning. In an interview with Jeremy Bernstein, given towards the end of his life and quoted in Bernstein's book [1], Bell reported being perplexed by the usual statement of the Heisenberg uncertainty or indeterminacy principle (Δx Δp ≥ ℏ, where Δx and Δp are the uncertainties or indeterminacies, depending on one's philosophical position, in position and momentum respectively, and ℏ is the (reduced) Planck's constant).
It looked as if you could take this size and then the position is well defined, or that size and then the momentum is well defined. It sounded as if you were just free to make it what you wished. It was only slowly that I realized that it's not a question of what you wish. It's really a question of what apparatus has produced this situation. But for me it was a bit of a fight to get through to that. It was not very clearly set out in the books and courses that were available to me. I remember arguing with one of my professors, a Doctor Sloane, about that. I was getting very heated and accusing him, more or less, of dishonesty. He was getting very heated too and said, 'You're going too far'.At the conclusion of his undergraduate studies Bell would have liked to work for a PhD. He would also have liked to study the conceptual basis of quantum theory more thoroughly. Economic considerations, though, meant that he had to forget about quantum theory, at least for the moment, and get a job, and in 1949 he joined the UK Atomic Research Establishment at Harwell, though he soon moved to the accelerator design group at Malvern.
It was here that he met his future wife, Mary Ross, who came with degrees in mathematics and physics from Scotland. They married in 1954 and had a long and successful marriage. Mary was to stay in accelerator design through her career; towards the end of John's life he returned to problems in accelerator design and he and Mary wrote some papers jointly. Through his career he gained much from discussions with Mary, and when, in 1987, his papers on quantum theory were collected [21], he included the following words:
I here renew very especially my warm thanks to Mary Bell. When I look through these papers again I see her everywhere.Accelerator design was, of course, a relatively new field, and Bell's work at Malvern consisted of tracing the paths of charged particles through accelerators. In these days before computers, this required a rigorous understanding of electromagnetism, and the insight and judgment to make the necessary mathematical simplifications required to make the problem tractable on a mechanical calculator, while retaining the essential features of the physics. Bell's work was masterly.
In 1951 Bell was offered a year's leave of absence to work with Rudolf Peierls, Professor of Physics at Birmingham University. During his time in Birmingham, Bell did work of great importance, producing his version of the celebrated CPT theorem of quantum field theory. This theorem showed that under the combined action of three operators on a physical event: P, the parity operator, which performed a reflection; C, the charge conjugation operator, which replaced particles by anti-particles; and T, which performed a time reversal, the result would be another possible physical event.
Unfortunately Gerhard Lüders and Wolfgang Pauli proved the same theorem a little ahead of Bell, and they received all the credit.
However, Bell added another piece of work and gained a PhD in 1956. He also gained the highly valuable support of Peierls, and when he returned from Birmingham he went to Harwell to join a new group set up to work on theoretical elementary particle physics. He remained at Harwell till 1960, but he and Mary gradually became concerned that Harwell was moving away from fundamental work to more applied areas of physics, and they both moved to CERN, the Centre for European Nuclear Research in Geneva. Here they spent the remainder of their careers.
Bell published around 80 papers in the area of high-energy physics and quantum field theory. Some were fairly closely related to experimental physics programmes at CERN, but most were in general theoretical areas.
The most important work was that of 1969 leading to the Adler-Bell-Jackiw (ABJ) anomaly in quantum field theory. This resulted from joint work of Bell and Ronan Jackiw, which was then clarified by Stephen Adler. They showed that the standard current algebra model contained an ambiguity. Quantisation led to a symmetry breaking of the model. This work solved an outstanding problem in particle physics; theory appeared to predict that the neutral pion could not decay into two photons, but experimentally the decay took place, as explained by ABJ. Over the subsequent thirty years, the study of such anomalies became important in many areas of particle physics. Reinhold Bertlmann, who himself did important work with Bell, has written a book titled Anomalies in Quantum Field Theory [10], and the two surviving members of ABJ, Adler and Jackiw shared the 1988 Dirac Medal of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste for their work.
While particle physics and quantum field theory was the work Bell was paid to do, and he made excellent contributions, his great love was for quantum theory, and it is for his work here that he will be remembered. As we have seen, he was concerned about the fundamental meaning of the theory from the time he as an undergraduate, and many of his important arguments had their basis at that time.
The conceptual problems may be outlined using the spin-1/2 system. We may say that when the state-vector is α+ or α- respectively, sz is equal to ℏ/2 and -ℏ/2 respectively, but, if one restricts oneself to the Schrödinger equation, sx and sy just do not have values. All one can say is that if a measurement of sx, for example, is performed, the probabilities of the result obtained being either ℏ/2 or -ℏ/2 are both 1/2.
If, on the other hand, the initial state-vector has the general form of c+α++ c-α-, then all we can say is that in a measurement of sz, the probability of obtaining the value of ℏ/2 is |c+2 |, and that of obtaining the value of -ℏ/2 is |c-2 |. Before any measurement, sz just does not have a value.
These statements contradict two of our basic notions. We are rejecting realism, which tells us that a quantity has a value, to put things more grandly -- the physical world has an existence, independent of the actions of any observer. Einstein was particularly disturbed by this abandonment of realism -- he insisted in the existence of an observer-free realm. We are also rejecting determinism, the belief that, if we have a complete knowledge of the state of the system, we can predict exactly how it will behave. In this case, we know the state-vector of the system, but cannot predict the result of measuring sz.
It is clear that we could try to recover realism and determinism if we allowed the view that the Schrödinger equation, and the wave-function or state-vector, might not contain all the information that is available about the system. There might be other quantities giving extra information -- hidden variables. As a simple example, the state-vector above might apply to an ensemble of many systems, but in addition a hidden variable for each system might say what the actual value of sz might be. Realism and determinism would both be restored; sz would have a value at all times, and, with full knowledge of the state of the system, including the value of the hidden variable, we can predict the result of the measurement of sz .
A complete theory of hidden variables must actually be more complicated than this -- we must remember that we wish to predict the results of measuring not just sz, but also sx and sy, and any other component of s. Nevertheless it would appear natural that the possibility of supplementing the Schrödinger equation with hidden variables would have been taken seriously. In fact, though, Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg were convinced that one should not aim at realism. They were therefore pleased when John von Neumann proved a theorem claiming to show rigorously that it is impossible to add hidden variables to the structure of quantum theory. This was to be very generally accepted for over thirty years.
Bohr put forward his (perhaps rather obscure) framework of complementarity, which attempted to explain why one should not expect to measure sx and sy (or x and p) simultaneously. This was his Copenhagen interpretation of quantum theory. Einstein however rejected this, and aimed to restore realism. Physicists almost unanimously favoured Bohr.
Einstein's strongest argument, though this did not become very generally apparent for several decades lay in the famous Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) argument of 1935, constructed by Einstein with the assistance of his two younger co-workers, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen. Here, as is usually done, we discuss a simpler version of the argument, thought up somewhat later by David Bohm.
Two spin-1/2particles are considered; they are formed from the decay of a spin-1/2particle, and they move outwards from this decay in opposite directions. The combined state-vector may be written as (1/√2)(α1-α2+ - α1- α2+), where the α1s and α2s for particles 1 and 2 are related to the αs above. This state-vector has a strange form. The two particles do not appear in it independently; rather either state of particle 1 is correlated with a particular state of particle 2. The state-vector is said to be entangled.
Now imagine measuring s1z. If we get +v/2, we know that an immediate measurement of s2z is bound to yield -ℏ/2, and vice-versa, although, at least according to Copenhagen, before any measurement, no component of either spin has a particular value.
The result of this argument is that at least one of three statements must be true:
(1) The particles must be exchanging information instantaneously i.e. faster than light;The first possibility may be described as the renunciation of the principle of locality, whereby signals cannot be passed from one particle to another faster than the speed of light. This suggestion was anathema to Einstein. He therefore concluded that if quantum theory was correct, so one ruled out possibility (3), then (2) must be true. In Einstein's terms, quantum theory was not complete but needed to be supplemented by hidden variables.
(2) There are hidden variables, so the results of the experiments are pre-ordained; or
(3) Quantum theory is not exactly true in these rather special experiments.
(2) There are hidden variables, so the results of the experiments are pre-ordained; or
(3) Quantum theory is not exactly true in these rather special experiments.
Bell regarded himself as a follower of Einstein. He told Bernstein [1]:
I felt that Einstein's intellectual superiority over Bohr, in this instance, was enormous; a vast gulf between the man who saw clearly what was needed, and the obscurantist.Bell thus supported realism in the form of hidden variables. He was delighted by the creation in 1952 by David Bohm of a version of quantum theory which included hidden variables, seemingly in defiance of von Neumann's result. Bell wrote [21]:
In 1952 I saw the impossible done.In 1964, Bell made his own great contributions to quantum theory. First he constructed his own hidden variable account of a measurement of any component of spin. This had the advantage of being much simpler that Bohm's work, and thus much more difficult just to ignore. He then went much further than Bohm by demonstrating quite clearly exactly what was wrong with von Neumann's argument.
Von Neumann had illegitimately extended to his putative hidden variables a result from the variables of quantum theory that the expectation value of A + B is equal to the sum of the expectation values of A and of B. (The expectation value of a variable is the mean of the possible experimental results weighted by their probability of occurrence.) Once this mistake was realised, it was clear that hidden variables theories of quantum theory were possible.
However Bell then demonstrated certain unwelcome properties that hidden variable theories must have. Most importantly they must be non-local. He demonstrated this by extending the EPR argument, allowing measurements in each wing of the apparatus of any component of spin, not just sz. He found that, even when hidden variables are allowed, in some cases the result obtained in one wing must depend on which component of spin is measured in the other; this violates locality. The solution to the EPR problem that Einstein would have liked, rejecting (1) but retaining (2) was illegitimate. Even if one retained (2), as long as one maintained (3) one had also to retain (1).
Bell had showed rigorously that one could not have local realistic theories of quantum theory. Henry Stapp called this result [18]:
the most profound discovery of science.The other property of hidden variables that Bell demonstrated was that they must be contextual. Except in the simplest cases, the result you obtained when measuring a variable must depend on which other quantities are measured simultaneously. Thus hidden variables cannot be thought of as saying what value a quantity 'has', only what value we will get if we measure it.
Let us return to the locality issue. So it has been assumed that quantum theory is exactly true, but of course this can never be known. John Clauser, Richard Holt, Michael Horne and Abner Shimony adapted Bell's work to give a direct experimental test of local realism. Thus was the famous CHHS-Bell inequality [19], often just called the Bell inequality. In EPR-type experiments, this inequality is obeyed by local hidden variables, but may be violated by other theories, including quantum theory.
Bell has reached what has been called experimental philosophy; results of considerable philosophical importance may be obtained from experiment. The Bell inequalities have been tested over nearly thirty years with increasing sophistication, the experimental tests actually using photons with entangled polarisations, which are mathematically equivalent to the entangled spins discussed above. While many scientists have been involved, a selection of the most important would include Clauser, Alain Aspect and Anton Zeilinger.
While at least one loophole still remains to be closed [in August 2002], it seems virtually certain that local realism is violated, and that quantum theory can predict the results of all the experiments.
For the rest of his life, Bell continued to criticise the usual theories of measurement in quantum theory. Gradually it became at least a little more acceptable to question Bohr and von Neumann, and study of the meaning of quantum theory has become a respectable activity.
Bell himself became a Fellow of the Royal Society as early as 1972, but it was much later before he obtained the awards he deserved. In the last few years of his life he was awarded the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society, the Dirac Medal of the Institute of Physics, and the Heineman Prize of the American Physical Society. Within a fortnight in July 1988 he received honorary degrees from both Queen's and Trinity College Dublin. He was nominated for a Nobel Prize; if he had lived ten years longer he would certainly have received it.
This was not to be. John Bell died suddenly from a stroke on 1st October 1990. Since that date, the amount of interest in his work, and in its application to quantum information theory has been steadily increasing.

In a Deep South more accustomed to fried chicken and buttered biscuits, most might not think Thai cuisine would find a ready audience. But that''s what happened when Bann Thai opened its doors in Columbus in December 2010.
"We just put out the sign and then they kept coming and coming," said Pitcha "Bee" Chanachai, at the restaurant located at 2212 Military Road, near the entrance to Lowe''s.
Even at 3:30 in the afternoon, the small, well-kept eatery is dotted with customers enjoying dishes ranging from curry to sushi. Bee''s husband, "Lloyd" (Wirot), is the happy mastermind in the kitchen, creating dish after colorful dish of original Thai recipes.
Sushi chef Jack James prepares a "fierce" fire dragon of crab topped with eel and avocado, masago and sweet soy sauce.
For the most part, Thai is the language of choice as the industrious staff communicate with each other, preparing for an official grand opening Saturday -- and, within a very few months, a second location, in Starkville.
Grand opening
In the front of the house, Bee (who adopted the nickname to simplify matters) and her mother-in-law, Praphai Manning, take a few minutes out to share a little about the family endeavor.
Praphai, who sometimes helps man the kitchen, is the wife of retired Mississippi University for Women graphic design instructor Robert Manning. Although English is not her first language, she conveys how important it was to her to open a restaurant as a culinary showcase for her children and members of the extended family who have acquired valuable food service industry experience.
"I am so happy," she says, wreathed in smiles.
Bee, who holds a master''s degree in business, helps operate the restaurant that''s open seven days a week. Customer response has been so positive, the family recently enclosed an open air porch to add more seating.
"We will have our grand opening Saturday," Bee said, inviting the public to enjoy free samples of sushi and appetizers from noon until 5 p.m., and 50 percent off of the regular menu June 4.
Regular restaurant hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Bann Thai is open every evening from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. The hours are demanding, but the family work ethic is strong.
Taste teasers
"Chinese food may be more sweet than Thai food," explains Lloyd, when asked about the distinction. Thailand sits between cultural powers China and India, and has been clearly influenced by both. But, like its people, the food has managed to maintain its own identify.
The country''s cooking is known for its detail, presentation and balance of fundamental taste senses in each dish or overall meal.
"Thai food can have many little flavors, salty, sour, a little sweet and spicy, all flavors together," Lloyd continued.
"There are a lot of vegetables and herbs, a lot of healthy ingredients," added Bee. Herbs popular in Thai cooking that aren''t normally found in the West include kaffir lime leaves, curry from the southern and central areas of Thailand, galangal, lemon grass, turmeric and fingerroot.
Distinctive Thai techniques and ingredients are used at Bann Thai in dishes ranging from ka nom jeeb (steamed shrimp and chicken dumpling) and tom kha gai (coconut soup chicken), to massaman curry, grilled salmon ginger, the seafood platter or pla rad prik (chili fish). The extensive menu has vegetarian dishes, too, as well as salads and soups.
Japanese sushi
Traditionally low in fat and high in protein, vitamins and minerals, sushi on the family''s menu includes tuna, yellow tail, shrimp, crab, masako, eel and more. There''s even a Columbus sushi roll, named for the Friendly City. It consists of avocado, asparagus and crab, wrapped with salmon and masako in a special sauce. For Bully fans, they make an MSU sushi roll of yellowtail, tuna, salmon and cream cheese flash fried with sauce.
Peppy Biddy, who serves as head of the Department of Music and Theatre at MUW, is one of many who welcomed the arrival of a new adventure for the taste buds.
"I enjoy a variety of cuisine''s, and I like dining out, especially for the kinds of foods I don''t have the expertise to make on my own. I was excited when Thai food made its way to Columbus -- one less thing to go out of town for," Biddy said. "Now I''m just waiting for an Indian restaurant," he added.
The next time your taste buds revolt against a steady diet of fried and fast food, authentic Thai cooking or Japanese sushi may be just the change of pace they need.

What are those images?
Self-immolation is deliberately setting oneself on fire. I picture dramatic protests from the Vietnam era, but it's been going on for centuries:
It was Western media coverage of Buddhist monks immolating themselves in protest of the South Vietnamese regime in 1963 that introduced the word "self-immolation" to a wide English-speaking audience and gave it a strong association with fire. The alternative name bonzo comes from the same era, because the Buddhist monks who immolated themselves were often referred to by the term bonze in English literature prior to the mid-20th century...Bonzo! Most Americans think of that Ronald Reagan movie when we hear "Bonzo." Perhaps some think of Led Zeppelin. But fiery suicide, to make a political point? That's new to me.
A capstone is "a stone that caps or crowns." I'm quoting the OED, where we can see the metaphorical use of the word goes back to 1685: "Here is the fair occasion... to put the cap-stone upon his other perfections" (tr. B. Gracián y Morales Courtiers Oracle 150). By the way, the Great Pyramid is missing its capstone. Ever notice? Makes you want to put an eye there:
Okay, now what about grasping at straws? What's the image there? I realize I've always pictured ants trying to get out of water by climbing onto some bit of straw. Focusing on that for the first time, I can see that grasping at straws would probably work for an ant. You're supposed to picture a human being trying to escape drowning and desperately grasping at anything, no matter how absurdly useless it is. Wiktionary tells me that the image goes back Thomas More, "Dialogue of Comfort Against Tribulation" (1534). More is talking about people who will not seek the "comfort" of God. Some of them are completely lethargic — "so drowned in sorrow that they fall into a careless deadly dullness." Others are so "testy" and "fuming" that you don't even want to talk to them. Then there are people who do want to be comforted. Some of them "seek for worldly comfort":
He who in tribulation turneth himself unto worldly vanities, to get help and comfort from them, fareth like a man who in peril of drowning catcheth whatsoever cometh next to hand, and that holdeth he fast, be it never so simple a stick. But then that helpeth him not, for he draweth that stick down under the water with him, and there they lie both drowned together. So surely, if we accustom ourselves to put our trust of comfort in the delight of these childish worldly things, God shall for that foul fault suffer our tribulation to grow so great that all the pleasures of this world shall never bear us up, but all our childish pleasure shall drown with us in the depth of tribulation.You know, that eye on the pyramid, as seen on the Great Seal of the United States dollar bill is the "Eye of Providence":
On the seal, the Eye is surrounded by the words Annuit Cœptis, meaning "He approves (or has approved) [our] undertakings", and Novus Ordo Seclorum, meaning "New Order of the Ages". The Eye is positioned above an unfinished pyramid with thirteen steps, representing the original thirteen states and the future growth of the country. The lowest level of the pyramid shows the year 1776 in Roman numerals. The combined implication is that the Eye, or God, favors the prosperity of the United States.Have we gone so deeply into the mixed metaphor that it's all coming together somehow?

A Golden Grey Lyrics
She walks with a sadness like she's never known. Exiting from the back in black from head to toe. A swallow of stale station air, leaving behind the taste of despair. Almost running into someone she used to know. As fragile as a flower, she wonders if she can go on. It's been a long long morning. Another cold black Sunday. It's like she's been awake for hours, another dying Sunday. She hopes to hide these things behind a darkened vail. She dies inside thinking of every time she failed. It seems like only yesterday, a memory of golden grey. Foreshadowing a pale tomorrow. If she could hold on one more hour, maybe she can go on. She knows she tried, stuck in the middle. She blames herself, a little. She knows she tried, stuck in the middle. She hates this sound.

I don't know how to use a Mac, nor Cell Phone, these directions are for PC/Windows Operating System.
You'll need to make a few preliminary steps. Start by going to "My Pictures" on your operating system (in this tutorial, Windows operating system is being used). Depending on your operating system, there are a few ways to "Create A New Folder". You may have to click on 'Options', 'Tools', or maybe 'File', with my program, I click on 'Organize'..........
In the Drop Down Menu, click on 'New Folder,' a new folder will appear, give it a name, (Smilies) and click save, or done, what ever.
If you don't, already, have one, you'll need an Online Photo Host. There are many to choose from...... Flicker, Picaso......... I prefer Photobucket, and will refer my directions there.
You can open an account at Photobucket by clicking on the word. Once you have an account, you can create 'folders'.
At Photobucket's home page, click on 'My Home'. There you can do lots of things, such as, setting up a Profile, but that's not what this is about.
When you click on 'Upload File', you will be given the option to 'Create New Album'. click on that, and name your new album 'Smilies", then upload from your 'My Pictures' 'Smilies'. ....but wait, there are no Smilies there!!!!!!!
Once you've established 'Smilies' in My Pictures, and 'Photobucket'. you can upload them to Photobucket. We're almost there
There are a few ways to find your smilies. The first is, any site you may be on, forum, chat box, whatever. Another way is to do search for 'Smilies'. You'll find tens of thousands. You can narrow your search by trying something like....... 'smiles angel' , or 'smilies frustrated', . When you find the smilie(s) you're interested in, right click on it, and "Save As" to your 'Smiles Folder' in ' My Pics'. Once you have saved a smilie, or many, you can upload them to Photobucket/smilies. Please note: As with anything you download off the internet, be aware of files that may contain viruses. A good virus protection program should catch anything suspicious associated with the file you download.
One more thing. 'Tabs'. Most browsers offer the use of tabs.
I, currently, have 5 'Tabs' open .......
The first is 'QP.com', then 'Smilies', then the rest.
Opening 'Tabs' depends on your browser. You may have to go to 'File', 'Options', 'Tools',.......
By using Tabs, you can navigate from site, to site, without closing a site, or loosing info.
With your smilies saved to Photobucket, or your prefered hosting site, and 'Tabs' in line line, you're ready to post all the smilies you want.

It's a cool purple dense shimmer, with pink and blue sparks. I love how vivid this is! One of my top three PS polishes. This was 2 coats on its own.
This collection comes in adorable holographic green themed boxes, and are available along with all the other Pretty Serious products here (with worldwide shipping!). Customer service is awesome, and there are also eyeshadows and lip glosses available (though discontinued) - I recently picked up three eyeshadows, and they're amazing!

Kyra Sedgwick is recovering after accidentally cutting off the tip of her finger while cooking some kale on Saturday. The 47-year-old actress's husband, Kevin Bacon, took to his Twitter and Whosay pages to share photos of Sedgwick post-finger chopping.
"@kyrasedgwick in the ER. Kale isn't ALLWAYS HEALTHY... if you chop the end of your finger off," Bacon posted along with a photo of her in the hospital.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
PHOTOS: Find out stars' weirdest phobias
In the photo, an injured Sedgwick lies on a hospital gurney with a bloody bandage wrapped around her left hand. The former "Closer" star, who is dressed in red pants and a printed navy top, looks understandably discouraged as she puts her right hand over her cheek while surrounded by medical equipment.
Bacon, 54, later followed up on his wife's condition with a photo and a caption that read, "My Baby is fine. All good. Still can't find the tip of that finger @kyrasedgwick."
In the second pic, Sedgwick is in the same outfit and is wearing a giant white bandage over her left index finger. She even flashes a post-injury smile and gives a thumbs-up with her right hand while showing off her oversized bandage.
PICS: "Dancing With the Stars'" biggest injuries
Sedgwick isn't the only celeb who has had finger problems recently. Sandra Bullock's ex Jesse James recently cut off part of his right pinky finger in an accident that happened in his Austin motorcycle shop. Earlier last month, James stepped out with a bandage over his finger just a few weeks after he chopped it off.
When the incident happened, James shared gruesome photos of his bloody sawed-off finger on Twitter, writing, "Doesn't look like this little dude's gonna make it, Nice know'n you little buddy." He also wrote, "OOOpps, Bad day at the office. Headed 2 Surgery in a few #PayUpSucker @ University Medical Center," along with another photo of his injured hand. He later had surgery on his pinky.

Christian Dating Show in Development for GSN
GSN is considering adding a faith-based dating show as a way to continue appealing to the audience that was drawn to the network by "The American Bible Challenge."
The dating show, "It Takes a Church," follows church members as they try to find a romantic match for a single member of their congregation without his or her knowledge, according to a description of the show provided to The Christian Post by GSN.
"The congregation, Pastor, friends, and family will all contribute, but in the end our single will decide which suitor she is putting her faith in," the description says. "The parishioner who brought the chosen suitor will win money for both themself and their charity."
Amy Introcaso-Davis, executive vice president for programming and development at GSN, told reporters Tuesday that the show is like a modern version of how "the ladies of the church are always trying to fix up the few single" congregants, according to The New York Times.
She also said the show will target the network's new viewers who were brought in by "The American Bible Challenge," though GSN officials stated they don't plan to fill the station's schedule with faith-based programming. "It Takes a Church," which is being developed for GSN by Sean Kelly, is one of six original series being developed for the network, including another dating show and a program featuring competing dance studios.
"The American Bible Challenge," hosted by comedian Jeff Foxworthy, is a Bible trivia show in which contestants compete for money for their favorite charity. In its first season last year, the show became the most-watched program in GSN's history. Kirk Franklin, a nine-time Grammy-winning recording artist, joined the show as a musical co-host for its second season, which began in March.
"I'm very excited to create the musical environment for The American Bible Challenge," Franklin said before the season began, according to GSN. "The show is a fresh and fun approach to celebrating the Word of God, and being able to provide an element of praise, worship and honor is both exciting and humbling."
The network also announced the release of "The American Bible Challenge Bible Study" in March. The curriculum for the 10-week study was written in conjunction with the American Bible Society and features video and commentary from best-selling author Max Lucado, novelist Karen Kingsbury and country music artist Clay Walker, among others.

Music, Painting, and Writing
Music (Guitar)[edit]
While Pete loves to play with his little tomatoes and catfish, Pyro has much higher goals for himself. Well, he considers them higher; we'll see what the rest of the Sims in New Pyroville have to say about it!
Pyro has three possible artistic outlets he can pursue: play the guitar, paint, or write. All three are split into their own separate skills, rather than the old days of having the catch-all Creativity skill. None of the skills are hard to raise, provided you have the proper equipment, and all can be decent money makers.
The first thing Pyro does is buy a guitar through Buy Mode, because he's a fan of Rock Band 2 and can totally full combo "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys (provided it's on Medium, of course), so he thinks it'll be a breeze to do it in real-life. Things, well, don't go quite that well.
When Pyro first picks up the guitar, things go about as well as you can expect: he barely can pluck the strings, and the "music" he produces is on par with a chainsaw as it cuts through aluminum siding. But his Guitar skill goes up as he plays, and at level 5, he can start playing actual music!
Actually, at level 5, several things happen at once. Not only can Pyro play actual songs, he can start buying new songs from the bookstore. Though he starts off only knowing one, once he learns more, he can select which song he plays. Note that to learn the song, Pyro actually has to play it; it's not as simple as reading a book like his lazy brother.
While out in public, level 5 also allows him to Play For Tips, where he sits his guitar case on the ground to act as a tip jar. As you can see below, the excessively hot Aralia Rose is digging his vibe, and is more than happy to give $21 to the cause. Be aware that if Pyro chooses to perform a special song, he cannot accept tips for it, but he might get more friends. After all, playing the guitar is ultimately a social skill, and Sims who enjoy his music may like him a bit more for it. Sims under the spell of his songs may also start dancing, whether alone or with each other, effectively spreading the love all across the lot.
Speaking of love, at level 7, Pyro can actually use his guitar to serenade someone. The serenade command is on the guitar itself, rather than the target Sim. After selecting it, a pop-up box will ask who Pyro wants to serenade. However, if no romantic interests are on the lot, the Serenade command won't be there at all.
Another option for Pyro is to throw a little party, or at least attend one, and play his guitar at it. This is a great way to keep guests entertained, and greatly increases the chance that they have a good time, especially at the higher levels of the skill. After ten such performances, Pyro will clear a challenge and earn more money from tips, making his subsequent performances even more valuable!
For now, though, Pyro has had enough of the loaded six-string on his back (or in his pocket), so he turns to a different artistic pursuit: painting. He heads home and buys an easel, placing it in the front yard near Pete's garden, and gets to work… by which I mean he essentially throws paint at the canvas and sees what sticks. Well, it's a start at least, and just like Guitar, his Painting skill will get better with time.
Once again, the magic level is 5. Before that, Pyro just pecks his brush at the canvas here and there, and makes low-quality paintings that aren't worth using for firewood. After he completes a painting, he can name it if he wishes. He can also take the painting and hang it up somewhere in the house, or he can just instantly sell it. As long as the painting is not sold, it will appreciate a bit in value—i.e., the older it is, the more it's worth. Still, Pyro's earliest paintings are never going to be worth more than a handful of simoleons, so he's just going to sell it now and be done with it.
Once he hits level 5, things get better. Pyro gets an option to Paint Still Life. Hitting this gives him a frame he can control, and essentially take a picture of something nearby. The frame can be adjusted by size, and you can move the camera around with the WASD keys, change its angle by click-dragging the middle mouse button, and change the zoom by rolling the mouse wheel. Once you're satisfied, press C, and you'll essentially take a screenshot that the Sim will paint.
Unlike Sims 2 however, Pyro can actually put his own artistic spin on the painting. Because he's at level 5, the painting will be low-quality looking (like he colored outside the lines), but as he gets better, his artistic spins will be a little different. In fact, at level 6, he can start choosing how exactly he stylizes the paintings.
At level 7, Pyro can start doing other Sims' portraits. He can only start the portrait of a Sim who is on the current lot. The target will walk over, and Pyro will get a frame like for a still-life. Once Pyro decides on the exact angle of the portrait, the target can then leave; he or she only has to be present for Pyro starting the portrait. Otherwise, it's a standard painting: once it's done, it can be hung or sold.
At level 8, Pyro gains the ability to take a picture with his cell phone (in the Inventory Panel) of any scene in his immediate vicinity and paint it later. In his case, he goes to a cliff overlooking downtown and takes a picture, then paints a picture of the New Pyroville skyline. Pyro gains no more special commands at levels 9 and 10, but his paintings are worth more and more as a result.
Pyro has hand cramps after all that painting, so he decides to return to what he does best: write! Writing is more interactive than painting or playing the guitar, but it all starts at a computer. Pyro pulls his seat up to the Lord Sponge computer and gets started.
Unlike the other two artistic skills, writing turns a small profit immediately. It's not nearly enough to sustain a family, or even a single Sim, but at least Pyro will have some semblance of an income while training up. After sitting down and picking the Writing… option, he can select what specifically to write, although his choices now are limited. He chooses a non-fiction novel, then diligently pecks away at his keyboard.
Pyro gains writing skill constantly, and gets the occasional tiny paycheck for submitting a couple chapters to the publisher. Once he's done with his book, he'll get a series of royalty checks every week. He'll presently get a copy of his book, and his book will start appearing in the library as well for all Sims to read.
As Pyro levels up, he gains additional genres he can write. (Sadly, "Awesome Award-winning IGN Entertainment Strategy Guides" isn't one of them.) Each genre has a different base value, which you can view in the skill journal. Being a specialist isn't a bad thing though, because if Pyro concentrates on one genre, even one that's technically low-value, his books in that genre will be quite valuable just because he's made so many.

About Mission San Luis
Mission San Luis functioned as the capital of the western missions in La Florida from 1656 to 1704. Populated by more than 1,500 residents, including one of the most powerful Apalachee chiefs and the Spanish deputy governor, San Luis was one of early Florida's largest colonial outposts. In recognition of its historical significance, San Luis received designation as a National Historic Landmark in 1960. Since that time, the Mission has been the focus of intensive archaeological and historical research, and today is the most thoroughly-investigated mission in the southeastern United States.
Each year, the 17th century comes alive for thousands of visitors through costumed living history interpreters, hands-on exhibits, and continuing archaeological research. On our beautiful 65-acre site you can tour the large thatched Franciscan church and Apalachee council house, as well as the convento, Spanish residence and fort.

The ambition of Munters is to achieve sustainable solutions that provide both environmental and economic benefits for its customers, and so, driven by the European ErP Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC, we have introduced the new Euroemme® EDC-HE air-blowers series. The new EDC18HE and EDC24HE fans belong to the new generation of high energy efficient, very robust and reliable air blower fan range, suitable for an extensive variety of professional applications in order to create the optimal indoor climate. The new design of the EDC18HE and EDC24HE air blowers consist of a unique round shaped housing composed of the air conveyor (Venturi) and a discharge cone on the outlet side. Inside the round shape housing, the 3-blade propeller is attached directly to the electrical motor, which is fixed on to the airflow rectifiers. This unique design renders the EDC18HE and EDC24HE as the ideal air blowers which can deliver high airflow capacity with low power consumption. The EDC18HE and EDC24HE have been designed, tested and developed in Munters R&D laboratory, while the performances were confirmed by tests performed in Munters Fan Test Chamber – designed and built according to the ANSI/AMCA 201-85 specifications (the test chambers structure, airtightness and specifications were verified and confirmed by the BESS Lab representatives from the Agricultural Engineering Department of University of Illinois, USA).

The parser doesn't know about operators and parses everything as normal
function application. This module contains the functions that parses the
operators properly. For a stand-alone implementation of this see
It also contains the function that puts parenthesis back given the precedence of the context.
parseApplication :: [Expr] -> ScopeM ExprSource
parseLHS :: Maybe Name -> Pattern -> ScopeM PatternSource
Parses a left-hand side, and makes sure that it defined the expected name. TODO: check the arities of constructors. There is a possible ambiguity with postfix constructors: Assume _ * is a constructor. Then 'true *' can be parsed as either the intended _* applied to true, or as true applied to a variable *. If we check arities this problem won't appear.

Burchfield Penney exhibit spotlights Jackson photographs
By Colin Dabkowski, Arts Writer for The Buffalo News
Read the complete Gusto story at http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130208/GUSTO/130209250/1031
Try to slap a label on Bruce Jackson, and you're bound to miss the picture.
He is a veteran University at Buffalo professor, an accomplished photographer, an author of dozens of books and articles, a merciless media critic, an activist, film programmer and general provocateur. He comfortably inhabits the high-minded sphere of the modern American academy, where he is something of an elder statesman. But he is just as comfortable expounding on local and national controversies in the pages of Artvoice or presenting public screenings and discussions of classic films with his wife, Diane Christian, as part of the long-running Buffalo Film Seminars.
Jackson, long a commanding presence on Buffalo's cultural scene, is being honored with an exhibition opening tonight in the towering East Gallery of the Burchfield Penney Art Center.
The show, with the rather utilitarian title of "Being There: Bruce Jackson, Photography 1962-2012," is an attempt to capture some of the multifarious activities of one of Buffalo's busiest and best-known writers and thinkers.
Burchfield Penney Art Center Director Anthony Bannon has described Jackson, a longtime friend, as a "public intellectual," one of the few labels Jackson can bring himself to accept.
"I am [a public intellectual], but I wouldn't want to limit myself to that," Jackson said in a phone interview. "With my own interests, they don't stop at the border of the university, and the people I want to talk to aren't just the people in the university. I want to talk to people next door to me. And so that means going public."
"Being There," originally suggested by Buffalo State College professor Albee Michaels and organized by Burchfield Penney curator Scott Propeak, features some 300 photographs from throughout Jackson's long career, which range from stark portraits of prison workers and inmates in Arkansas' infamous Cummins State Farm (now Cummins Unit) in the early '70s to portraits of his often famous friends, and finally to his recent landscape photographs and scenes of the grain elevators that line Buffalo's slowly reawakening waterfront.
Jackson's interest in photography grew out of his academic work, as well as a fondness for the technology, and slowly blossomed into an artistic pursuit.
"When I started out taking pictures, I was doing ethnography in Texas prisons. And I was taking photographs mainly as a way of taking notes quickly," Jackson said. After he visited Cummins State Farm in hopes of writing an article about the conditions there, photography became a much larger part of his work.
"I took about 28 more rolls of film [at Cummins], and when I got home, I realized that I wanted to document it visually rather than in words. I think that's when I date my relationship to photography as really changing," he said.
After that, Jackson incorporated photography into much of his work, including the more than 100 articles he wrote for Artvoice about the struggle to build a new Peace Bridge and various other academic and journalistic pursuits. Jackson is a constant presence, for instance, at Just Buffalo Literary Center's prestigious Babel reading series, from which some of the portraits in this exhibition are drawn.
His most recent book, co- authored with Christian, is "In This Timeless Time: Living and Dying on Death Row in America," which features some 100 pictures of life on Texas' death row. The upcoming book "Inside the Wire" contains another 106 of Jackson's prison photographs.
"The range of his subjects is breathless in the exhibition and challenges any attempt to connect the dots," Bannon said in a release. "As with those public intellectuals who came before him, Jackson feeds on the public life and its celebrity. We hope that 'Being There' will make connections that will continue Jackson's feeding frenzy for ideas."
For Jackson, it's all about finding the right tools to strike a chord with the public and to illuminate important contemporary issues – not merely to impress his academic colleagues. He points to the work of his late friend Leslie Fiedler, the widely read literary critic and University at Buffalo professor, as something that continues to inspire him.
"Leslie's books, there's no jargon in them. You see his 'Love and Death in the American Novel' on the shelves of people who aren't in the academy at all. It's a profound book about American literature, but it's written in English that anybody can understand," Jackson said. "And to me, that is a very high achievement, and that's the sort of thing I strive for."

NatGeo's Doomsday Preppers is a documentary series about people preparing for the end of the world, hording supplies, learning survival skills and building elaborate shelters in the hopes that when the big day comes the four horse-persons of the apocalypse might pass them by. In celebration of tomorrow's launch of the show's second season, G5 Games has created an incredibly appropriate video game tie-in.
Available now on iTunes, Doomsday Preppers the game is the incredibly addictive and oft-copied Tiny Tower, only instead of building up the player is digging down, crafting sub-floors dedicated to security, shelter, recreation, crafting, food processing and science. Preppers line up on the surface, ready to descend the elevator and be assigned a task. Delivery men show up with supplies, and they never leave—they just mysteriously disappear. I'm guessing they are being used for food.
Say what you will about cloning winning formulas, this is the only way a Doomsday Preppers game would have made sense, and it works amazingly well.
As an added bonus, codes for game content will be distributed during new episodes of the show, giving fans extra-incentive to play what they watch and watch what they play. Very well done.

JUST ABOUT THIS TIME: There's a lot of talk of office holiday parties and friendly cocktail get-togethers right about this time of year. One awaits an invitation to the big soiree (or not, if the holidays have become too much and staying in feels right). But the come-on-over hardly anyone can ignore is the the tamale-making party. They're a staple of life in Arizona, New Mexico, and much of California, and they require a few elements: stacks of husks, a creamy but thick masa, filling such as carne asada or zucchini, and, yes, a blender of margaritas. (Well, that's how our mom runs her tamale parties, anyway.) The upshot is you leave with a few dozen husk-wrapped beauties, and the knowledge that the eating in December is about to get a lot tastier. Of course, there is another alternative to accepting all of those tamale-making party invites (which we totally think you should): Head for Indio on Saturday, Dec. 1 and Sunday, Dec. 2.
WORLD'S RECORD: One of the December to-do's biggest claim to fame is the fact that the world's largest tamale was made there in 1999. But regardless of year, vendor after vendor lines up at the Indio International Tamale Festival to make tamales their way. Isn't that one of the glorious things about this particular classic? There are hundreds if not thousands of great versions, including a dessert tamale. (Not sure there's been a tamale beverage or cocktail yet, but we'll bet someone is dreaming it up.) The fest also includes a carnival, fam-friendly haps, and a tamale-eating contest. We're full after two, but there's always room for a third, right?
