A clergy- iiian is exjpected to be more accurate and cautious m his; claims than a 'politician Engaged in a political, controversy. Senator .Huey Long's tirade against Bertiard Baruch as the "master-niind and invisible presi- derit" was not takeii seriously because of the '*Kingfish's" predilection for sensational verbiage. Father Coughliii did not nierely content him¬ self with . repeating; Long's charges against Baruch bnf consistently pointed to the Jewish financial houses; as the leaders of unsound and unpatriotic international financial conspiring. These facts and figures ido* not require any comment, They speak m no uncertain terms. They challenge Father Coughlin's statements and implications.;; They demand a cleair and unec[uivocal answer, HFather Coughlih wants us to take his protestations in favor of the Jews seriously, if he wants »s to believe that his campaign for social justice is entirely free of racial prejiidice, if he vyants us to :judge him on the intrinsic iiieirits of the program of the Social Justice, Union, he will have to *admit publicly that he has erred and that his charges against Jewish jnternatioiial bankers are grossly exaggerated and entirely out of proportion with the true state of affairs.

Noms have to stay the same Why do I like Jen of all people. Sigh! The sad thing of it all is that Jen really thinks she is safe (they are making her feel safe so she doesn't fight for POV). Backdooring sucks, I honestly will give Jess that - giving Dick and Daniele both a chance for POV. Of course whinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnney Daniele always gets her wayyyyyyyyyyyyy!

I am looking for the family of William Nathaniel Taylor (or Nathaniel Taylor) born in Autrim, Ireland in 1671. He is my 7th Great-Father. I am trying to find out who his parents were but have not had much success.
(Part 1 of 3) The Taylor name can be found in the British Isles, but one of its origins according to DNA is from the north-west coast of the Emerald Island. One Taylor story [dominated by DNA tribal marker R1b-L513, Subgroup A1] can trace their origins to the Finn Valley in Donegal, Ireland from 50 BCE. Perhaps the journey begins with the Clanna Dedad; Deda, son of Sen or Deda Mac Sin. This Taylor surname origin is from a Northern Ui Neill [R1b-L513] tribe. The Cenél Eoghan and the tribes of Donegal conquered much of Ulster (Derry and Tyrone).
(Part 2 of 3) Cenél Eoghan will expand across northern Ireland with their cousins Cenél Conaill and the Northern Ui Neill between 500-800 BCE. The clans of Finn Valley have the same DNA as people from Gwynedd in Brittany. But how could this be? Recent discoveries from DNA testing are unlocking the migration patterns of Celtic tribes as late as 800 CE to 1200 CE. The Taylor story begins in pre-history Ireland then moves to Scotland as they form part of the Dalriada. Descendants of their tribe will then travel to Brittany, France during the Dark Ages.
(Part 3 of 3) Discover their newly found untold story and how forgotten texts bring their story back to life. From the ebook, "The Tribe Within" learn how DNA unfolds this amazing tale and if you look in the right places, how history narrates this evidence. There is another written account of their story, but it is camouflaged in smoke and myth – it will become the tales of King Arthur. Come follow in the footsteps of Deda Mac Sin and visit https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/401207

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Coming off an successful fall season, the No. 73 Yale men's tennis team is set to resume competition after a three-month hiatus from formal matches. The Bulldogs will host the Boston College Eagles at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center at Yale at 2p.m, and Purdue at 10a.m. on Sunday.
The Bulldogs finished the 2009-10 season with a 16-8 overall record and a 5-2 Ivy League record, and finished second in the Ivy League. They were the only Ivy League team to defeat No. 45 Columbia, last year's league champions. Given the depth and skill of the team that returns five of the six starting players from last year, the Bulldogs will certainly be a team to watch this season.
The Yale team boasts an impressive roster, including sophomore Marc Powers, who was awarded the Northeast Region ITA Rookie Player of the Year Honors, the Ivy League Player of the Year and first team All-Ivy. Sophomore John Huang was also awarded First Team All Ivy recognition, with a 26-11 overall record, a 17-6 spring record, and a 6-1 Ivy League record at No. 2 singles. Junior Erik Blumenkranz and sophomore Joel Samaha were named second team All-Ivy doubles, and posted a 4-2 Ivy League record at No. 1 doubles. Senior captain Calvin Bennett, who hails from Sandy, Utah, will lead the Bulldogs.
In August, Powers became the first Bulldog to get a spot in Pilot Pen's main draw. Powers, along with Nolan Paige, a 16-year old from the nearby Hopkins school, wowed fans by playing a close match against professional doubles team Wesley Moode and Dick Norman, ranked No. 7 in the world.
Powers and classmate Daniel Hoffman also impressed early on in the season by winning the doubles draw at the 2010 USTA Men's Tennis Invitational in September. Hoffman went on to win the singles A draw as well, while Blumenkranz handily captured the singles B draw.
Powers and Hoffman reached the semifinals at the 2010 USTA/ITA Northeast Regionals held at the Cullman-Heyman Tennis Center at Yale in October. Senior Jordan Abergel and Samaha also faced each other in the semifinals of the 2010 Connecticut State Championships in October. Abergel went on to play the finals, and came up just short against Sacred Heart's Karill Kasyanov in a close three-set match.

|Condition or disease
|HIV-Associated Lipodystrophy Syndrome HIV Infections
|Drug: Pioglitazone
|Phase 3
Lipodystrophy is one of the most frequent treatment side effect in HIV-1 infected patients. This complication can be stigmatizing in some affected patients and lead to reduced adherence to treatment, increased risk of cardiovascular complications and induce insulinoresistance. The pathophysiology of lipodystrophy remains poorly understood. Some antiretroviral drugs could be involved. Therefore, using PPAR G as a therapeutic target with the objective to reverse drug induced lipoatrophy appeared as a promising objective Thiazolidinediones are a new class of insulin sensitizing drugs for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. These PPARG agonist which mainly promote the differentiation of adipocytes, decrease circulating plasma free fatty acids. In non-HIV infected patients this class of drugs decreases intraabdominal fat accumulation and increases subcutaneous fat depot.
Different previous studies were performed with that aim, most of them using rosiglitazone.
We designed a prospective randomized, double blind placebo controlled multicentre study aiming to test the hypothesis that pioglitazone would improve lipoatrophy without deleterious effect on lipid profile in adult subjects receiving antiretroviral therapy.

The Government of Brazil, will be hosting the II Global Forum: "A Democratic State and Governance in the Twenty First Century". It will be held on 29-31st May 2000, in Brasilia, Brazil. It is intended that this Forum will help in concretizing a substantial and sustainable agenda for future action.
1. Background
In January 1999, representatives of 45 countries participated in the meeting called "A Global Forum on Reinventing Government", held in Washington, DC. It was organized by the government of the United States, in partnership with multilateral organizations (The World Bank, The Inter-American Development Bank) and non-governmental institutions (the Ford Foundation and The Kennedy School of Government).
The Global Forum was aimed at facilitating an exchange of experiences on the process of strengthening the countries democratic institutions, with a particular focus on improving the performance of their governmental institutions. More specifically, the Forum aimed to improve the understanding of available alternatives for creating democratic institutions that are compatible with the needs and characteristics of our current information age.
The transformation of government, at the core of all the main issues addressed, implied structural changes in the ways government operates; changes that aimed at improving government performance and enhancing relationships between the government and its people. The forum set the foundation and context for other areas to be explored, including the emerging and changing role of government given the challenges ahead, and their relationship with their citizens.
Over the past decade or so, government reforms initiated simultaneously in several countries revolved around common themes and issues, nearly always focused on reducing the size of government, which is expected to lead to efficiency gains and improvements in government performance.
Common characteristics to all these reform efforts are:
- A quest for an ideal of a "smaller state", that would bring about efficiency gains not necessarily through cuts in governmental programs; - The development of political and institutional re-engineering to enhance efficiency, for example through out-sourcing and privatization; - A focus on the transparency of government action through the clear definition of goals, targets, outcomes and dissemination of information to the public; - The emphasis on citizens as clients and consumers.
The following questions were raised at the first Forum:
- How much importance must governments give to markets when establishing public private partnerships for government action? - How can outcome evaluation systems strengthen these partnerships? - How can governments reconcile these new systems of outcome evaluation with the existing structures and processes? - How can the emphasis on the "reinvention" of government redefine the relations between government and citizenry?
At its conclusion there was interest in instituting the Forum as a permanent event. As we enter the Third Millennium, the challenge and opportunities ahead demand fresh thinking on the shape of future government. Globalization, fast evolving technologies, the importance of market forces, and rising citizen expectations are setting the pace. How can governments respond, and at the same time ensure the well being of all segments of society?
2. Managing Change and the Contextual Framework
The approach to reforming government cannot ignore the importance of the new technological, economic, social, cultural and political challenges resulting from the Information Age. These challenges have necessitated a redefinition of the role of the public sector. The debate on the states role centers not anymore on "less state" or "more state", but instead on the building of a "better state" that has the ability to elicit, co-ordinate and articulate interests, expectations and demands with a view to strengthening and broadening the horizons of the public sector.
The "reinvention" of government may often mean the adoption of market solutions and processes. Above all, however, it must mean reasserting the states effectiveness vis-à-vis that of the "market" as a consequence of the challenges of the Third Millennium. This does not imply an assertion of a dichotomy between the state and the market; on the contrary, it must be understood as a response to the need for creating synergies between the state and the market to enable them to connect in a manner that results in a "better state".
As this century opens, there is reaffirmation of the close link between democracy and markets as the institutional capital necessary for development and growth. The goal of state reforms, therefore, should not be just reducing the size of the state, but the development and the enhancement of the welfare of its people - a government that serves all of its citizens - through collaboration and cooperation, in this era of globalization.
Globalization, propelled by the revolution in information technology (IT) has been transforming the institutions of societies, and their very culture. But the impact has not been uniform. Neither is access to the new technology. Unequal access to IT and to a trained labor force, has the potential of sharply increasing income disparity and poverty. The so called "digital divide" will marginalize communities within countries and some countries. The potential growth of e-commerce raises serious and complex taxation issues involving municipal, state and central governments, and even international cross-border issues. Most governments depend on sales taxes as and their primary source of revenue.
The nation state is not in danger of disappearing; rather the scope and the responsibilities of political institutions, in general, and of governmental ones, in particular, are expanding. Nations still maintain considerable power and play a relevant and irreplaceable role in managing this change. This power can only be ensured through collaboration and co-operation at all levels: with other nations, within its own local and regional jurisdictions, and other transnational organizations and associations.

The U.S. Allies at Risk in 2013
Japan, Israel and Britain face unique dangers in 2013, Ian Bremmer, the head of Eurasia Group, tells WSJ's John Bussey. And that puts U.S. goals in Asia, the Mideast and Europe at risk.

... I ... my name is John Bussey of with a Wall Street Journal here today with Ian Bremmer whose president of the Eurasia group on and you've got an essay coming out of our Saturday paper called the online ... review section Friday night ... um that's very interesting it talks about ... the challenges ahead politically ... for an economically for some of our key allies around the world you you you focus on three let's start with the first one ... the first when it disagrees Japan and it's because of its fractious ... relationship with China ... for some these islands that are disputing on sovereignty over ... the summer the shirt each other it is about the commercial relationship between the two that rank low in the most important thing is happening in Asia is that China is rising ... and and this is generally either a positive thing ... or at least the next thing ... for almost everyone in Asia ... except for Japan ... for Japan China's rise is actually ... unabashedly problem ... on the Chinese are being much more assertive or sister can not just on contested territory of but also in terms of their economic relationship and the Chinese don't need the Japanese to when they use to go on don't leave them in terms of their investment dollars ... don't get much technology forget to give something ... away that for the Japanese China's critical ally it's a huge export market ... it's a huge commercial market for them they need a commercial relationship with China but stable ... ideally of course ... because you haven't in a large number of kind of Japanese firms that invest an enormous amount of money in China and that ... the Japanese had the strategy called China plus one ... which is what will we know that ... Michael problematic really trust or put everything in time ... to China and one other country in what turns out that that that's actually a lot of concentration ... into a country that fundamentally ... doesn't like Japan so so we had Protests ... Anti Japanese protests this September over and over issues of ownership of the silence what happen commercially to do and ... commercial EU hand ... of companies like Nissan and Toyota the took an enormous hit in terms of their exports ... are you had Japanese CEOs every single one of them find that when I was there for the IMF meetings ... on said that they were thinking seriously about changing their model of investment China going forward we're moving a lot of expats I think you know we're all things should go ... this is ... economically people for a country they really can afford yet and critical to the US because Japan is ... at the center of our security relationship and in ... the North Asia let let's move on to to Israel ... with their bare we see a ... cut of for for every day in the news headlines all on its borders is having troubles another key US ally in a very ... of import part of the world ... again another key ally under pressure on digits ... shore and just look just like China is rising in each of the big thing happening in the Middle East it's it's exploding we've gone from spring to summer ... with the Durata clinical radicalization becoming much greater across the region the Syrian war of course with half the size of cross its borders the Iran situation becoming more dicey ... and the country that clearly gets it the most naked if Lee ... is America's key on a Middle East that Israel ... because not only have a negative effect of all this turmoil ... aam but also because countries that had been more moderate ... on that were more willing to have balanced relations with Israel a chore ... like ... Egypt white turkey I now see domestic populism as a much more attractive way to go in so they are ... severing ties and there being much more combative ... up with the trip soon ... Iran's nuclear ... ambitions being at the center of a lot of this tension ... involving Israel and against the King ... of the security ally the United States ... what happens there in your estimation how does this play out ... through two thousand and thirteen ... organizations ultimately work ... does Iran get the bomb was sanctions are working ... on and they are they are hurting the Iranians and economically diverse shares which have a currency crisis right now on they have over million barrels a day of oil is not producing because of the sanctions ... that new metal sanctions coming on against them in six months to get gas stations that are hitting ... its crippling the Iranian economy ... the question is ... to do what he does that mean that the Iranians have come to a deal with the Americans on the nuclear program one that we would accept ... one that we could sell on domestically or to the Israelis at the level of demonization that's gone on against Iran some likely some not so ... I'm very skeptical ... so I I think that what's more likely is the shadow war ... this been going on between the U S Israel and Iran ... in terms of sabotage in terms of cyber tactics in a lot of Iranian cyber attacks against American banks recently denial of service a lot of online checking in banking going down ... this is going to get worked up over the course of twenty thirteen and of course again Israel this is a much bigger profit us that are going to the profits it is a much bigger prior Israel Analysts radicals in the region is of much bigger problem for so so so one more key US ally abroad for a Brit abroad and Britain runs into a lie in your ... analysis that the huge problems ... with its position in Europe and that ... there's only us because the US ... as in Britain something of a ... proxy for his own interests in the broader ... European Union ... tell scuttled what which are thinking of a Bharti cut that out of the euro zone if they didn't say from that ... tumult ... of what we're talking about whether or not they stay inside the European Union trade with China rising bad for Japan ... Middle East exploding ... bad for Israel ... Europe muddling through ... to forge stronger more consolidated euros on ... bad for Britain ... because ultimately you moving towards banking unit ... ultimately you moving for its fiscal union the long-term crisis in Europe but ultimately the euro zone will become stronger and more integrated ... the Brits are outside of the ... and in fact right now you're fifty eight percent ... of ... conservatives ... so people to support the present government ... that say they want out of the EU and if the British government doesn't support them ... in the UK Independence Party is going to continue to accompany the doing very well recently so this is really a damned if he can be and if you don't situation ... the Brits export fully half of all of their goods to the euro zone ... and and some of that that that that that's the good of the taker not a maker of regulatory policy and at worst a good idea but I don't know about and they're not going to be on ... the bottom ... of the two books are the candidates ... on in Bremmer the present of the Eurasia group thank you for much for joining us my pleasure thank you for joining us ...

i actually really like this, although i think that there should be a non-turn counting way of calculating wussiness.
if any minifig dosen't use their action for the turn, or does the same series of movements over and over (hide behind a wall, fire, re-hide as an example), opposing team players may make a wuss check. similar to a heroic feat, opposing players roll a d6* to see who's right. if the player who declared the wussiness wins, the targeted unit or squad or group of similar units (units who were all doing the exact same lame thing), any player can use heroic feats to kill the wusses.
*almighty bennies DO apply to this roll. players who deserved bennies know more about the spirit of the game, and therefore can have more leniancy on being a wuss, as well as more ability to call out a wuss.

For many U.S. children, the gap between the storied American dream and the hard reality of their day-to-day lives seems unbridgeable. The current economic crisis is creating even more pressure on already struggling families as they seek to feed, clothe and shelter their children.
Just as ChildFund is committed to improving the lives of children in other countries, we've also been at work for more than 50 years in America. Our work has taken us to some of the most impoverished U.S. communities, assisting children and families from diverse populations in South Dakota, North Dakota, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Texas.
Statistics from these states are sobering:
- Child poverty rates as high as 67 percent in South Dakota
- Teen birth rates at 83 per 1,000 in Texas
- Poor nutrition/obesity at 44 percent in Mississippi
- School dropout rates at more than 50 percent
- Suicide rates at twice the national average
ChildFund partners with affiliate grassroots organizations that have an intimate understanding of the local community and the needs of children. Our programs are focused on early childhood development, after-school and summer enrichment activities, youth engagement and leadership, cultural arts and restoration of cultural identity, preventive health education and activities, and also parent education to help promote healthy child development.
Yet, more help is needed to break the cycle of poverty in our own backyard.
The cost to sponsor a child in the U.S. is $35 per month, (a bit higher than for other countries in which ChildFund works due to higher costs of providing services here at home).
For more information about U.S. child sponsorship, call 800-776-6767, or visit the child sponsorship section of our website. Do a search under "USA." (FYI: We don't show online photographs of U.S. children to protect their privacy and ensure their safety).
Many children in the U.S. are waiting for you to say "yes" to sponsorship.

Wings Over Houston gets spirits soaring
As the worst of stormy weather passed through the Houston area, airshow organizers announced Sunday morning that flights would go on as planned.
Gates opened about 10:15 am Sunday and Ellington Field would remain open to Sunday ticketholders until 5 p.m. Officials did say, however, that weather conditions could prompt adjustments to the performance schedule.
Leif and Brandy Forland couldn't take their eyes off the sky as the airplane above their heads spiraled downward and then flipped head over tail a few times before its pilot restarted the engine and resumed flying.
"It's amazing," said Leif Forland, a self-described history buff. "I love these old warplanes. They're really fascinating."
The Houston couple had been looking forward to the weekend Wings Over Houston Airshow at Ellington Airport, said Brandy Forland, who also was impressed with performances and displays of World War II and post-war aircraft. Crop-duster "Dusty" from the Disney film "Planes" was the best part for the Forlands' 2-year-old son, Tor.
"It's unbelievable, jaw-dropping," Brandy Forland said of the performances.
An estimated 65,000 people are expected to attend the annual two-day airshow, which continues today, said Bill Roach, the show's executive director. Federal budget cuts prevented the Air Force's Thunderbirds aerial demonstration team and Navy's Blue Angels from performing in the show, he said. However, organizers filled gaps with more airplane and military displays and exhibits, Roach said.
Aerial salute
Days ago, a vintage P-51 Mustang that was to have been part of the show crashed near West Galveston Bay, killing Keith Hibbett, 51, of Denton, an experienced pilot, and a passenger who had paid for the flight. The aircraft was part of the Lone Star Flight Museum's fleet.
Roach said air performers probably would honor Hibbett by flying an aerial salute in his memory during the show.
"It's a great loss," Roach said of Hibbett's death. "It's kind of like a big family here."
Besides aerobatics and vintage warplanes, show highlights include a 60th anniversary Korean War tribute and a re-enactment of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, he said. A Legend & Heroes tent will give people an opportunity to meet veterans and inspire children to learn about aviation, Roach said.
"It's really about honoring the men and woman who served during that time," he said.
Re-enactment thrills
People rushed toward the airfield to watch the Pearl Harbor re-enactment, called "Tora Tora Tora." Dozens pulled out cellphone cameras and tablets to record simulated explosions and warplanes flying formations overhead in the makeshift attack. Black smoke filled the air as about a dozen planes buzzed the field.
Mitch Hasbrouck, who recently moved to Houston, said he thought the re-enactment might prompt people to learn more about the 1941 attack that drew the United States into World War II.
"It helps people relive what it was like back then," he said afterward. "You see the airplanes and feel the explosions and heat from the fires. It looks a little like what might have happened."

It's the anniversary of the birth of Alan Turing. So there's a ton of people writing commemorative stories. And naturally, a ton of those stories get it wrong. And they get it wrong in a very sad way.
Of course, when you talk about Turing, you talk about Turing machines. Despite the fact that Turing did lots of stuff besides just that machine, it's always the machine that people focus on. Partly that's laziness - the machine has his name after all, so it's one of the first things you find if you Google Turing. It's also the easiest thing to write about.
What do they say about the Turing machine? It' "the simplest computing device". It's the "basis for modern computers". It's "the theoretical model for the microchips in your laptop". It's the "mathematical description of your computer". None of those things are true. And they all both over and under-state what Turing really did. In terms of modern computers, the Turing machine's contribution to the design of real computers is negligible if not non-existent. But his contrubition to our understanding of what computers can do, and our understanding of how mathematics really works - they're far, far more significant than the architecture of any single machine.
The Turing machine isn't a model of real computers. The computer that you're using to read this has absolutely nothing to do with the Turing machine. As a real device, the turing machine is absolutely terrible.
The turing machine is a mathematical model not of computers, but of computation. That's a really important distinction. The Turing machine is an easy to understand model of a computing device. It's definitely not the simplest model. There are simpler computing devices (for example, I think that the rule 111 machine is simpler) - but their simplicitly makes them harder to understand.
The reason that the Turing machine is so important comes down to two important facts. First, which machine you use to talk about computation doesn't matter. There's a limit to what a mechanical device can do. There are lots of machines out there - but ultimately, no machine can go past the limit. Any machine that can reach that limit is, for the purposes of the theory of computation, pretty much the same. When we talk about studying computation, what we're talking about is the set of things that can be done by a machine - not by a specific machine, but by any machine. The specific choice of machine isn't important. And that's the point: computation is computation. That's what Turing figured out.
The Turing machine is a brilliant creation. It's a simple machine. It's really easy to understand. And it's easy to tweak - that is, it's easy to do experiments where you can modify the machine, and see what effect it has.
So let's take a step back, and see: what is a Turing machine?
The Turing machine is a very simple kind of theoretical computing device. In fact, it's almost downright trivial. But according to everything that we know and understand about computation, this trivial device is capable of any computation that can be performed by any other computing device.
The basic idea of the Turing machine is very simple. It's a machine that runs on top of a tape, which is made up of a long series of little cells, each of which has a single character written on it. The machine is a read/write head that moves over the tape, and which can store a little bit of information. Each step, the machine looks at the symbol on the cell under the tape head, and based on what it sees there, and whatever little bit of information it has stored, it decides what to do. The things that it can do are change the information it has store, write a new symbol onto the current tape cell, and move one cell left or right.
That's really it. People who like to make computing sound impressive often have very complicated explanations of it - but really, that's all there is to it. The point of it was to be simple - and simple it certainly is. And yet, it can do anything that's computable.
To really understand how that trivial machine can do computations, it helps to be a bit formal. In formal terms, we talk about a turing machine as a tuple: (S, s0, A, T), where:
- S is a finite list of possible states that the machine can be in. The state is the information that the machine can store in the head to make decisions. It's a very limited amount of information; you can think of it as either a specific list of states, or a small set of small numbers. For most Turing machines, we'll use it as a specific list of states. (You'll see what I mean in a minute.)
- s0 ∈ S is the initial state - the state that the machine will be in when it starts a computation.
- A is the machine's alphabet, which is the set of symbols which can appear on the machine's tape.
- T is the machines transition function. This is the real heart of the machine, where the computation is defined. It's a function from the machine state and the alphabet character on the current tape cell to the action that the machine should take. The action is a triple consisting of a new value for the machine's state, a character to write onto the current tape cell, and a direction to move the tape head - either left or right.
So, for example, let's look at a simple machine. This is one of the classic examples: a Turing machine that does subtraction using unary numbers. A unary number "N" is written as a series of N 1s. For the program, we'll give the machine an input in the format "N-M=" written onto the tape; after running the machine, the tape will contain the value of M subtracted from N. So, for example, we could use "1111-11=" as an input; the output would be "11".
The alphabet is the characters "1", " " (blank space), "-" (minus sign), and "=" (equal sign). The machine has four states: {"scanright", "eraseone", "subone", "skip"}. It starts in the state "scanright". It's transition function is given by the following table:
What this machine does is move to the right until it sees the equal sign; it erases the equal sign and moves to the left, erases one digit off of the second number, and replaces it with the equal sign (so the second number is reduced by one, and the equal sign is moved over one position). Then it scans back to the minus sign (which separates the two numbers), and erases one digit of the first number, and then switches back to scanning to the right for the equal. So one at a time, it erases one digit from each of the two numbers. When it reaches the equal sign, and starts going back to erase a digit from the second number, and hits the "-" before it finds a digit, that means its done, so it stops. Let's look at a simple execution trace. In the trace, I'll write the machine state, followed by a colon, followed by the tape contents surrounded by "[]", with the current tape cell surrounded by "{}".
scanright: [ {1}1111111-111= ]" scanright: [ 1{1}111111-111= ]" scanright: [ 11{1}11111-111= ]" scanright: [ 111{1}1111-111= ]" scanright: [ 1111{1}111-111= ]" scanright: [ 11111{1}11-111= ]" scanright: [ 111111{1}1-111= ]" scanright: [ 1111111{1}-111= ]" scanright: [ 11111111{-}111= ]" scanright: [ 11111111-{1}11= ]" scanright: [ 11111111-1{1}1= ]" scanright: [ 11111111-11{1}= ]" scanright: [ 11111111-111{=} ]" eraseone : [ 11111111-11{1} ]" subone : [ 11111111-1{1}= ]" subone : [ 11111111-{1}1= ]" subone : [ 11111111{-}11= ]" skip : [ 1111111{1}-11= ]" scanright: [ 1111111 {-}11= ]" scanright: [ 1111111 -{1}1= ]" scanright: [ 1111111 -1{1}= ]" scanright: [ 1111111 -11{=} ]" eraseone : [ 1111111 -1{1} ]" subone : [ 1111111 -{1}= ]" subone : [ 1111111 {-}1= ]" skip : [ 1111111{ }-1= ]" skip : [ 111111{1} -1= ]" scanright: [ 111111 { }-1= ]" scanright: [ 111111 {-}1= ]" scanright: [ 111111 -{1}= ]" scanright: [ 111111 -1{=} ]" eraseone : [ 111111 -{1} ]" subone : [ 111111 {-}= ]" skip : [ 111111 { }-= ]" skip : [ 111111{ } -= ]" skip : [ 11111{1} -= ]" scanright: [ 11111 { } -= ]" scanright: [ 11111 { }-= ]" scanright: [ 11111 {-}= ]" scanright: [ 11111 -{=} ]" eraseone : [ 11111 {-} ]" Halt: [ 11111 { }- ]"
See, it works!
One really important thing to understand here is that we do not have a program. What we just did was define a Turing machine that does subtraction. The machine does not take any instructions: the states and the transition function are an intrinsic part of the machine. So the only thing this machine can do is to subtract.
The real genius of Turing wasn't just defining this simple computing machine. It was realizing the concept of the program: you could design a Turing machine whose input tape contained a description of a Turing machine - that is a program - followed by an input to the program. This single machine - the Universal Turing machine - could simulate any other Turing machine; one machine which could perform any computation.
Turing machines are a lot of fun to play with. Figuring out how to do things can be fascinating. Figuring out how to define a Universal turing machine's transition function is an amazing thing to do; it's astonishing how simple the universal machine can be!
As I said earlier - you can't make a mechanical computing device that does anything that a Turing machine can't do. One of the beauties of the Turing machine is that it lets you explore that. You can try adding and removing features to the basic machine, and see what happens.
For example: if you can do lots of great stuff with a Turing machine with one tape, what if you had a two-tape turing machine? That is, take the basic turing machine, and say that it's got two tapes, each with a read/write head. Each state transition rule on this machine depends on the pair of values found on the two tapes. For now, we'll say that the tapes move together - that is, the transition rule says "move the heads right" or "move the heads left".
Seems like this should represent a real increase in power, right? No. Take a single-tape turing machine. Take the alphabet for tape one, and call it A1; take the alphabet for tape 2, and call it A2. We can create a single-tape turing machine whose alphabet is the cross-product of A1 and A2. Now each symbol on the tape is equivalent of a symbol on tape 1 and a symbol on tape 2. So we've got a single-tape machine which is equivalent to the two-tape machine. Bingo.
We can lift the restriction on the heads moving together, but it's a lot more work. A two-tape machine can do things a lot faster than a one-tape, and the simulation will necessarily adapt to that. But it's entirely doable. How about a two-dimensional tape? We can simulate that pretty easily with a two-tape machine, which means we can do it with a one-tape machine. For a two tape machine, what we do is map the two-D tape onto the one-D-tape, as seen in the diagram below - so that cell 0 on the one-D tape corresponds to cell (0,0) on the two tape; cell (0,1) on the two-D corresponds to cell 1 on the one-D; cell (1,1) on the 2-D is cell 2 on the 1-D; etc. Then we use the second tape for the book-keeping necessary to do the equivalent of T-D tape moves. And we've got a two-D turing machine simulated with a two-tape one-D; and we know that we can simulate a two-tape one-D with a one-tape one-D.
This is, to me, the most beautiful thing about the Turing machine. It's not just a fundamental theoretical construction of a computing device; it's a simple construction of a computing device that's really easy to experiment with. Consider, for a moment, lambda calculus. It's more useful that a Turing machine for lots of purposes - we write real programs in lambda calculus, when no one would build a real application using a Turing machine program. But imagine how you'd try things like the alternate constructions of the Turing machine? It's a whole lot harder to build experiments like those in lambda calculus. Likewise for Minsky machines, Markov machines, etc.
For your enjoyment, I've implemented a Turing machine programming language. You feed it a Turing machine description, and an input string, and it will give you a trace of the machines execution like the one above. Here's the specification of the subtraction machine written in my little Turing language:
states { "scanright" "eraseone" "subtractOneFromResult" "skipblanks" } initial "scanright" alphabet { '1' ' ' '=' '-' } blank ' ' trans from "scanright" to "scanright" on (' ') write ' ' move right trans from "scanright" to "scanright" on ('1') write '1' move right trans from "scanright" to "scanright" on ('-') write '-' move right trans from "scanright" to "eraseone" on ('=') write ' ' move left trans from "eraseone" to "subtractOneFromResult" on ('1') write '=' move left trans from "eraseone" to "Halt" on ('-') write ' ' move left trans from "subtractOneFromResult" to "subtractOneFromResult" on ('1') write '1' move left trans from "subtractOneFromResult" to "skipblanks" on ('-') write '-' move left trans from "skipblanks" to "skipblanks" on (' ') write ' ' move left trans from "skipblanks" to "scanright" on ('1') write ' ' move right
I think it's pretty clear as a syntax, but it still needs explanation.
- The first line declares the possible states of the machine, and what state it starts in. This machine has four possible states - "scanright", "eraseone", "subtractOneFromResult", and "skipblanks". When the machine starts, it will be in the state "skipright".
- The second line declares the set of symbols that can appear on the tape, including what symbol will initially appear on any tape cell whose value wasn't specified by the input. For this machine the symbols are the digit 1, a blank space, the equal sign, and the subtraction symbol; the blank symbol is on any tape cell whose initial value wasn't specified.
- After that is a series of transition declarations. Each declaration specifies what the machine will do for a given pair of initial state and tape symbol. So, for example, if the machine is in state "scanright", and the current tape cell contains the equal-to sign, then the machine will change to state "eraseone", write a blank onto the tape cell (erasing the "=" sign), and move the tape cell one position to the left.
Finally, the code. You'll need GHCI to run it; at the moment, it won't work in Hugs (I don't have the parsing library in my version of Hugs), and I haven't worked out the linkage stuff to make it work under the GHC compiled mode.

Miami Beach Police Tried To Destroy Video From Bystanders, Holding Them At Gunpoint
from the the-right-to-film-police dept
First, police pointed their guns at the man who shot the video, according to a Miami Herald interview with the videographerTurns out the last laugh was on the police. The guy whose phone it was had removed the SD card from the phone, which contained the video, and had it in his mouth the whole time. The video itself is now available on YouTube. It's pretty intense (and NSFW with the sound on). It shows the initial shooting, and then all the way up to the point where the same police who just opened fire on someone else are pointing their guns at the guy doing the filming, as he sits in his car. I have no idea how he was able to get the SD card out and in his mouth before police seized the phone:
Then they ordered the man and his girlfriend out the car and threw them down to the ground, yelling "you want to be fucking paparazzi?"
Then they snatched the cell phone from his hand and slammed it to the ground before stomping on it. Then they placed the smashed phone in the videographer's back pocket as he was laying down on the ground
And finally, they took him to a mobile command center where they snapped his photo and demanded the phone again, then took him to police headquarters where they conducted a recorded interview with him before releasing him.

Mweene is Zambia's hero
Goalkeeper Kennedy Mweene spared holders Zambia's blushes as his late penalty enabled them to draw their Group C clash with Nigeria.
All four sides in the group had a point after the two opening games were both drawn but until five minutes from time Zambian progress appeared under threat, with the Super Eagles taking a 57th-minute lead through Emmanuel Emenike.
However, a highly contentious penalty, which surprised even Zambia, saw Mweene casually dink home an equaliser, with qualification from the group stage all down to the final matches on Tuesday with Burkina Faso and Ethiopia the other protagonists.
There was little to choose between the sides in the opening stages, Rainford Kalaba firing a vicious half-volley narrowly high and wide for Zambia. The midfielder then curled in a cross that was gathered by goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, just eluding Kalaba's team-mates.
However, it was Nigeria who had the chance to take the lead when they were awarded a penalty in the 25th minute when Davis Nkausa's ill-judged challenge on Ahmed Musa saw the striker tumble to the ground. John Obi Mikel took responsibility for the spot-kick but the Chelsea man scuffed his shot and the ball hit the outside of the post and bounced to safety.
A relieved Zambia came forward, Chisamba Lungu forcing Enyeama to parry the ball for a corner from his dipping free-kick. Kalaba was heavily involved, his cross headed wide by Stophira Sunzu before they failed to take advantage of outnumbering the Nigeria defence in first half injury-time, Isaac Chansa weakly finding the keeper when he had team-mates free in front of goal.
Shortly after the restart Nigeria broke, but Musa's shot across the keeper eluded both the net and the onrushing Emmanuel Emenike. However, the latter opened the scoring with his second goal of the the tournament 12 minutes into the second half. Mikel pounced on defensive hesitancy to find Emenike in the penalty area, he collected the ball, moved inside his marker and drilled a low shot into the corner.
Kalaba then bore down on goal but his lobbed shot was blocked by the goalkeeper with 20 minutes remaining before he turned provider, rolling the ball back to Collins Mbesuma whose finish was weak and easily gathered by Enyeama despite being unmarked in the centre of the area.
However, they were given a lifeline when the referee awarded a penalty in the 85th minute when Nosa Igiebor was adjudged to have fouled Emmanuel Mayuka. Mweene strolled forward, the epitome of calm despite the high-pressure situation, hands on hips, before casually dinking the ball into the top corner.
