Made mine on Trader Joes Asiago/black peppercorn sourdough bread. Also used the Kraft shredded Parm/Romano/Asiago blend (if you haven't tried this it is the best! Fridge section of the market.) Was a nice light supper. I know I will use it again. Thanks!
I made a bread in the bread machine and then I saw your recipe. It looked so good in the photo I had to try it on the fresh bread. I didn't have any italian dressing so I spread creamy ceasar on the bread and topped it with the rest of the ingredients listed. I will try it with italian dressing next time. Very easy and very tasty, thanks for sharing your recipe.
Bruschetta is one of my favourite entrees I order when we dine out at an Italian Restaurant. I made this for lunch today just for me, didn't share it with anyone. It was so quick and easy, also very yummy. Thank you Anme.
This is a great snack or appetizer. Very easy to make and very tasty. I will make again. Thank you!
It IS quick and yummy ... and versatile. I made one exactly as written and it was great. Then I made a better one with a few basil shreds added to the topping. Delicious. Thanks, Anme. I definitely will be making this frequently.
Such a quick yummy treat! I had this for a light dinner with collard greens. I used whole wheat French bread. Great blend of flavors! Thank you!

Hannah Nicolay and teammate Bethany Stallo of Salisbury carded identical 45 scores Tuesday to share medalist honors at their home triangular meet, but the lady Panthers team would finish third posting a score of 220.
"Hannah and Bethany both had really nice days. And I would like to mention that Hannah so far has had a really nice season. She had been match medalist in all three of our regular season matches, and she finished in the top 10 at the Paris Tournament," said Salisbury girls golf coach Kenny Wyatt. " It was also nice to have Bethany back, she is a two time state qualifier so she will really help us be more competitive."
Westran High School of Huntsville edged Harrisburg by 1 stroke having a team score of 213 yesterday to win the event while temperatures reached the mid-90s.
Whitney Schieni turned in a score of 63 for Salisbury and Ahlea Bruner had a 67.
Westran's leading golfer was Katie Kuntz, a 47. Senior Chevy Ingebritson had a 50, Shanna Surber scored a 55 and Olivia Penton had 61.
The annual Westran Golf Invitational will be held Thursday at Moberly's Heritage Hills Golf Course and it often features at least 10 schools playing in the 18-hole tournament. Salisbury, Paris, Cairo and Moberly are among the competitors.

Giacomo Meyerbeer's eminence as an operatic composer was such that the works he wrote for the Paris Opéra between 1831 and 1865—Robert le Diable, Les Huguenots, L'Africaine and Le Prophète—were among the most spectacular and popular, well into the twentieth century. These overtures and orchestral pieces illustrate the power of Meyerbeer's writing, his sense of drama, his orchestral colouring, and his melodic beauty. L'Etoile du Nord and Dinorah, written for the Opéra Comique, are lighter in tone, but notable for their programmatic inventiveness.
"... This is strongly recommended for anyone interested in a delectable and easily accessible concert of rarely heard music..."

I wanted to check my JavaScript with JSLint. I am also using jQuery and JSLint seems to be very unhappy about jQuery.
So, if I have this code:
$("a").click(function() {
// foo
I am getting a few JSLint messages:
Problem at line 1 character 1: '$' was used before it was defined.
I had a look at the options but I couldn't figure out how to tell JSLint that this is ok.
If I had only one jQuery call in my code I could just ignore the JSLint message but in 2,500 lines of script there are lots of calls, I can't find the errors I'd like to fix between all these messages.
So, does anyone know how to configure JSLint such that it works with jQuery calls? Or is there something else I can use to check the quality of my JavaScript/jQuery code?

Ten years ago this month, John Cooper, Brad Piccolo and Ben Han were recovering from broken bones, cracked vertebrae and heart problems, injuries suffered when the helicopter they were riding in struck a power line and crashed upside down in the Cimarron River near Cushing.
They were lucky to survive. The pilot and front passenger didn't.
The core members of the Payne County band the Red Dirt Rangers, Cooper, Piccolo and Han are self-employed musicians and didn't have insurance at the time. And once they recovered from the accident, pre-existing conditions caused by the wreck hindered the trio from getting medical coverage.
"What you find out is, insurance for musicians is, when they get hurt, their friends throw benefits for them. I mean, that's it. That's all they got. Most musicians haven't been insurable. They can't afford to pay it," Cooper said during a recent interview at the Hart Building on Film Row.
"People rallied around us. Not only our fellow Oklahomans, but people really from around the world wrote in, made donations," added Piccolo. "That's when we became aware of the power of a group of loving, caring people that want to help other people out."
The Rangers rallied a group of more than 50 Sooner State musicians to record a newly released single and music video titled "Stand (Let Your Voice Be Heard)," designed to sing out in support of the Affordable Care Act and expanding health coverage for uninsured Oklahomans.
Getting covered
With the passage of the Affordable Care Act, Cooper and Piccolo said they were able to get reasonably priced health insurance for the first time last year through the federal Health Care Exchange.
The Affordable Care Act, sometimes called Obamacare, is the fiercely debated federal health reform law passed in March 2010. At last count, about 69,000 Oklahomans had selected private health insurance through the federally run marketplace.
Originally, the act required states to expand their Medicaid programs or face penalties from the federal government. But a U.S. Supreme Court ruling made Medicaid expansion optional, leading more than 20 states, including Oklahoma, not to expand their programs. Under Oklahoma's current Medicaid program, a childless adult without disabilities cannot qualify for coverage.
"In this day and age that we live in, in this great country, there's no reason that someone should die for lack of health care, just simply because they're on hard times or don't have enough money in their bank account. That's just not right," Piccolo said.
Lou Carmichael, CEO of Variety Care, joined the Rangers at the recent Oklahoma City "Stand" release party at the Hart Building. Variety Care is a health center that accepts private insurance, Medicare and Medicaid and helps uninsured patients with a sliding fee scale based on family income.
"Oklahomans are some of the least healthy people in the United States … and 650,000 Oklahomans do not have access to even basic health care," she said. "The uninsured are our neighbors. They are veterans, nursing home aides, day-care workers, domestics, yard men … and they're joined by another group you're going to see tonight: musicians and artists."
Making a 'Stand'
While "Stand" was written and recorded to raise awareness, sales of the digital single also will benefit the Red Dirt Relief Fund and Tulsa Community Foundation. To help other Oklahoma music people facing health problems, Piccolo and Cooper co-founded the Red Dirt Relief Fund, a nonprofit safety net that has distributed 11 grants and raised $17,625 in the past two years.
The band and a host of musical pals recorded the song "Stand" in partnership with the Tulsa-based George Kaiser Family Foundation. Piccolo and Cooper penned new lyrics to go with fellow Oklahoma songsmith Chuck Dunlap's antiwar song "Patriot's Plea," keeping the chorus "stand and let your voice be heard," which inspired the song's title.
They recruited Grammy-nominated Pawnee-based musician/producer Steve Ripley to lead the recording sessions and award-winning Tulsa filmmaker Sterlin Harjo and his crew to film the process for the music video, which calls to mind an all-Oklahoma version of the famed 1985 mini-movie for the charity single "We Are the World."
"This is the best music scene that I've ever seen here in Oklahoma," Ripley said. "When we had the 'We Are the World' gathering and there were 30 or 40 (musicians), all the red dirt people in the world, a bunch of young people that I didn't know yet … I just fell in love with the whole thing. There was just this shock of the amazing amount of talent we have all over Oklahoma."
Along with the Rangers and Dunlap, Grammy nominee John Fullbright, Parker Millsap, Dwight Twilley, Mike McClure, the Tequila Songbirds, Brandon Jenkins, Tom Skinner, Monica Taylor, John Calvin, and Miss Brown to You were among the musicians who lent their talents to the recording.
For young singer-songwriters like Dylan Stewart and Ali Harter of the Tequila Songbirds, it was a thrill to work with such a storied group of Oklahoma musicians.
"I didn't know who all was going to be there when I came in that day," Stewart said at the OKC release party. "It was definitely a joy to be around that many great musicians here in Oklahoma at the same time for the same cause."
Harter said, "It's kind of that same way for all the events that we play for the Red Dirt Relief Fund. Somebody just asks us to do something, we all say yes, and we show up and have the time of our lives. You never know who's gonna be there to support your friends. We're all family and friends."
Harter also has struggled to get affordable health coverage, especially when she was pregnant with her daughter.
"We're all even more proud to be part of it now."
Staff writer Jaclyn Cosgrove contributed to this story.

The Ripple Effect: Lessons Learned About Secondary Traumatic Stress Among Clinicians Responding to the September 11th Terrorist Attacks

Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) symptoms experienced by mental health clinicians who treated clients for issues related to the terrorist attacks of 9/11 were intense and unprecedented. An exploratory study, using qualitative techniques as the primary information gathering method, was conducted to gain a better understanding about "indirect" exposure to terrorism. Twenty-six mental health clinicians participated in this research effort. As part of this study, questions regarding STS were explored. STS levels among clinicians who provided care to victims of 9/11 were high 30 months after the attacks. Most clinicians lacked experience providing disaster relief mental health care. Availability of supervision and agency support was described as "weak;" however, peer support was deemed helpful. Over the past decade, progress has been made in addressing STS issues. Implications are included for social work practice, disaster mental health administration, funding sources and policy. Recommendations for future research are identified.

Coalition To Salute Americas Heroes
Rating: 3.68 stars 62 62 reviews
552 Fort Evans Road Suite 300 Leesburg VA 20176 USA
The Coalition to Salute America''s Heroes, started in 2004, as a way to help the transition process for the wounded and disabled war on terror Veteran population. The organization helps to augment the support provided by the military and the Department of Veterans Affairs and Department of Labor.
Target demographics:
veterans disabled in the war on terror
Direct beneficiaries per year:
veterans from all over the United States with emergency aid
Geographic areas served:
throughout the United States
The mission of the Coalition to Salute America's Heroes is to help severely-wounded veterans and families of Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom recover from their injuries and illnesses, and to inspire other organizations and the general public to participate in this effort. Through our programs of aid and assistance, the Coalition offers individual contributors, corporations and volunteers many ways to give so these veterans and their families receive what they need and deserve in return for the sacrifices they made for us. Restoring hope to a wounded hero can take a lifetime. Rebuilding his or her life takes a commitment from all of us. You can help do both by making a direct tax-deductible contribution, an in-kind donation or by volunteering your time. If we work together, we can succeed in our mission, and the men and women who were heroes on the battlefield can return home as heroes to their families and communities.

Reviews for Coalition To Salute Americas Heroes
I am a caregiver to a wounded marine and the coalition helped my family when we needed it the most. The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes is a wonderful organization that continues to support wounded veterans and their families. I have been blessed by the Coalition many times over and I can't say enough how much they have helped my family and other families like mine. Thank you for all you have done for us, we are forever grateful.

I'm a veteran who has been honorably discharged and currently facing a financial hardship. I discovered this organization online, and decided to reach out for assistant. i was directed to complete an online application. While filling out the application, the system kept prompting me that I was not eligible because I did not meet ONE OR MORE of the following criteria: *disabled veteran with 30% or more disability rating
*honorable discharge (which I meet)
*service connected injury from OIF/OEF
*facing servere financial hardship (which I meet)
I then called the office to explain to them how the system kept promoting me, and the head of veteran services there kept trying to say that I didn't meet the requirements. After I explained to her that I did meet two of the four requirements, she began to speak to me as if I were a child, not understanding what the website stated. I guess my complaint is, unless you are disabled, or have a service connected injury, you will not be helped from this organization. I wish they'd clear up the miscommunication, and convey that they will only help disabled and service connected veterans only, instead of having other (non disabled) veterans who have served their country as well, waste time trying to find help at a place where they have no intentions to assist.

I was in a process of getting evicted from our apartment and "Coalition support America's heroes" stepped in to assist me and my family, even after that the organization continued to send me and my family cards to let us know that we are in their minds and heart.......truly a great organization that cares those who served

The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes helped my family tremendously after my husband lost 3 limbs while serving in Afghanistan. They were able to provide me, as a caregiver, part-time employment from home so that I am able to be home to assist my veteran with his every day needs. This is truly an awesome, caring organization that REALLY does provide excellent opportunities and resources to veterans and family members.

I became aware of Coalition to salute Americans heroes through another Marine Corps veteran that served in Iraq with my husband. At the time I had little hope of receiving any help from any group so when I filled out what I needed to fill out, I didn't expect much to come out of it. However much to my surpise it didn't take much time for them to answer me back and help in the way that they did. This group was amazing back then and continue to be amazing to this day by thier continue help. My family and I thank them from the bottom of all our hearts.

The Coalition to Salute America's Heroes helped our family with holiday gift cards for family meals. They have also helped several friends with emergency funds to get food, keep electricity on and supply basic needs when unexpected expenses arose. They also give free educational resources for Vets and caregivers that might not otherwise be available.

We are parents of a wounded warrior and Coalition To Salute America's Heroes is helping us with a gift of plane tickets to go see our wounded warrior. He was wounded during a deployment and it has been a year now for his recovery.It has been a long road with struggles and many tears. We are so excited to get to see him and his family! If it wasn't for this organization and their gift, we wouldn't be able to see him! We have a few things planned for this family visit. The biggest thing being a visit to an aquarium and down to the simple thing of a family cooked meal and spending time with each other. We can't wait to hug and kiss all of them!
We want to give a big "THANK YOU" to this organization for their generous gift because we now get to spend time as a FAMILY!

I'm having a few problems with comments. Two problems in particular are bothering me, and I can't find anything in previous threads here that seems to address them.
The first problem arises on the single-post page (although it also arises if the main template is used to handle a single post). It looks as though the call to comments_popup_link just doesn't get made when there is just one post. See, for example:
Then I get to the comments popup page. It needs a little work, but that's not my main problem with it. The main problem is that, after I leave a comment, WP stuffs the main template into the popup box.
Thanks in advance for any help,

I need to develop map with Google Maps API with markers etc. That map would need to be integrated into iPhone and Android application. That integration will be done by another person.
My question is: is it possible to develop map, define all coding with Google Maps API and then just give that coding to the person which developed application to integrate it into iPhone and Android application? I don't know how developing mobile applications works so I don't know if that's ok.
Thank you.

Where are the Productivity Gains from Foreign Investment? Evidence on Spillovers and Reallocation from Firms, Industries and Countries
We identify the net effect of foreign direct investment (FDI) on the host economy by separating positive productivity (TFP) effects of knowledge spillovers from negative effects of competition. We allow for foreigners selecting into productive firms and sectors. Using a new and unique firm/establishment-level data set for a large set of countries during last decade with information on economic activity, ownership stake, type, sector, and country of origin of foreign investors, we show that the positive effect of FDI on the host economy's aggregate productivity is a myth. Foreigners invest in high productivity firms and sectors but do not increase productivity of the acquired firms and enhance productivity of the average domestic rm. For emerging markets, we find that the acquired firms increase their productivity but the effect is too small to generalize to the aggregate economy. A higher level of foreign investment in the same sector of operation leads to strong negative competition effects both in developed and in emerging markets. In developed countries, we find evidence of positive spillovers through knowledge transfers only for domestic firms with very high initial productivity levels operating within the same broad sector as the multinational investor but in a different sub-sector. Our results not only con firm the predictions of the new trade and FDI literature but also show the importance of double heterogeneity in productivity and foreign investment for the effect of FDI on economic growth.

Is God a Mathematician?by Mario Livio
View All Available Formats & Editions
Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner once wondered about "the unreasonable effectiveness of
Bestselling author and astrophysicist Mario Livio examines the lives and theories of history's greatest mathematicians to ask how—if mathematics is an abstract construction of the human mind—it can so perfectly explain the physical world.
Nobel Laureate Eugene Wigner once wondered about "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" in the formulation of the laws of nature. Is God a Mathematician? investigates why mathematics is as powerful as it is. From ancient times to the present, scientists and philosophers have marveled at how such a seemingly abstract discipline could so perfectly explain the natural world. More than that—mathematics has often made predictions, for example, about subatomic particles or cosmic phenomena that were unknown at the time, but later were proven to be true. Is mathematics ultimately invented or discovered? If, as Einstein insisted, mathematics is "a product of human thought that is independent of experience," how can it so accurately describe and even predict the world around us?
Physicist and author Mario Livio brilliantly explores mathematical ideas from Pythagoras to the present day as he shows us how intriguing questions and ingenious answers have led to ever deeper insights into our world. This fascinating book will interest anyone curious about the human mind, the scientific world, and the relationship between them.
Editorial Reviews
The Washington Post
The title of astrophysicist Livio's latest wide-ranging science survey is a teaser since God rarely makes an appearance; along with the French astronomer Laplace, Livio has no need of that "hypothesis." Rather, Livio (The Golden Ratio) is concerned with the contentious question: is mathematics a human invention? Or is it the intricate design of the universe that we are slowly discovering? Scientists in past centuries have argued for the latter, Platonist position. In the last 50 years, however, many scientists, calling into question the whole idea of scientific discovery, maintain that we have invented mathematics. Livio gives as one example the famous golden ratio, which has fascinated Western mathematicians for millennia and was originally emphasized for its mystical symbolism. But Chinese mathematicians, not sharing that outlook, didn't discover it-or maybe they just didn't need to invent it. Livio hedges his bets, unsatisfyingly arguing that mathematics is partly discovered and partly invented. But Livio is a smooth writer. His fans will enjoy this book, and new ones may discover him.

In his latest work, astrophysicist Livio (The Equation That Can't Be Solved; The Accelerating Universe) addresses the puzzle raised by physicist E.P. Wigner and others: How can one account for the "unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics" in the physical sciences? How is it that physicists studying phenomena in such fields as gravity or electricity and magnetism have been able to package all the data into equations that can predict experiments and observations with astonishing accuracy? Among related issues is the question of whether mathematics was invented by humans or whether mathematics is a preexisting structure that was gradually discovered by humans. Livio explores such puzzling ideas by leading readers through the intertwined history of mathematics, science, and logic. He provides apt quotations and helpful explanations within an enjoyable narrative. This is a good popularization of some decidedly nontrivial questions. Recommended for public and academic libraries.
Jack W. Weigel
"This highly readable book explores one of the most fascinating questions that lies at the heart of fundamental physics why is mathematics so effective in describing nature and is mathematics an invention of the human mind or part of the fabric of physical reality? Livio provides a wonderful review of the various issues, presents a wide variety of opinions, and in addition some fascinating insights of his own. I strongly recommend this volume to anyone interested in these questions." David Gross, 2004 Nobel Prize Winner in Physics, Frederick W. Gluck Professor of Theoretical Physics and Director, Kavli Institute For Theoretical Physics, University of California, Santa Barbara
"All science proceeds from the assumption that the cosmos is ordered in an intelligible way. Beneath the bewildering richness of natural phenomena there lies an elegant mathematical unity. How astonishing that the human mind is attuned to this hidden subtext of nature! With elegance and clarity, Mario Livio charts how, through science and mathematics, we have come to glimpse the fundamental rules on which the universe runs." Paul Davies, author of The Goldilocks Enigma and Director of the Beyond Center for Fundamental Concepts in Science, Arizona State University
"An exhilarating foray into the founding premises of mathematical science." Booklist
"Theologians have God, philosophers existence, and scientists mathematics. Mario Livio makes the case for how these three ideas might be related...Livio's rich history gives the discussions human force and verve." Sam Kean, New Scientist

Read an Excerpt
A few years ago, I was giving a talk at Cornell University. One of my PowerPoint slides read: "Is God a mathematician?" As soon as that slide appeared, I heard a student in the front row gasp: "Oh God, I hope not!"
My rhetorical question was neither a philosophical attempt to define God for my audience nor a shrewd scheme to intimidate the math phobics. Rather, I was simply presenting a mystery with which some of the most original minds have struggled for centuries -- the apparent omnipresence and omnipotent powers of mathematics. These are the type of characteristics one normally associates only with a deity. As the British physicist James Jeans (1877-1946) once put it: "The universe appears to have been designed by a pure mathematician." Mathematics appears to be almost too effective in describing and explaining not only the cosmos at large, but even some of the most chaotic of human enterprises.
Whether physicists are attempting to formulate theories of the universe, stock market analysts are scratching their heads to predict the next market crash, neurobiologists are constructing models of brain function, or military intelligence statisticians are trying to optimize resource allocation, they are all using mathematics. Furthermore, even though they may be applying formalisms developed in different branches of mathematics, they are still referring to the same global, coherent mathematics. What is it that gives mathematics such incredible powers? Or, as Einstein once wondered: "How is it possible that mathematics, a product of human thought that is independent of experience [the emphasis is mine], fits so excellently the objects of physical reality?"
This sense of utter bewilderment is not new. Some of the philosophers in ancient Greece, Pythagoras and Plato in particular, were already in awe of the apparent ability of mathematics to shape and guide the universe, while existing, as it seemed, above the powers of humans to alter, direct, or influence it. The English political philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679) could not hide his admiration either. In Leviathan, Hobbes's impressive exposition of what he regarded as the foundation of society and government, he singled out geometry as the paradigm of rational argument:
Seeing then that truth consisteth in the right ordering of names in our affirmations, a man that seeketh precise truth had need to remember what every name he uses stands for, and to place it accordingly; or else he will find himself entangled in words, as a bird in lime twigs; the more he struggles, the more belimed. And therefore in geometry (which is the only science that it hath pleased God hitherto to bestow on mankind), men begin at settling the significations of their words; which settling of significations, they call definitions, and place them in the beginning of their reckoning.
Millennia of impressive mathematical research and erudite philosophical speculation have done relatively little to shed light on the enigma of the power of mathematics. If anything, the mystery has in some sense even deepened. Renowned Oxford mathematical physicist Roger Penrose, for instance, now perceives not just a single, but a triple mystery. Penrose identifies three different "worlds": the world of our conscious perceptions, the physical world, and the Platonic world of mathematical forms. The first world is the home of all of our mental images -- how we perceive the faces of our children, how we enjoy a breathtaking sunset, or how we react to the horrifying images of war. This is also the world that contains love, jealousy, and prejudices, as well as our perception of music, of the smells of food, and of fear. The second world is the one we normally refer to as physical reality. Real flowers, aspirin tablets, white clouds, and jet airplanes reside in this world, as do galaxies, planets, atoms, baboon hearts, and human brains. The Platonic world of mathematical forms, which to Penrose has an actual reality comparable to that of the physical and the mental worlds, is the motherland of mathematics. This is where you will find the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4,..., all the shapes and theorems of Euclidean geometry, Newton's laws of motion, string theory, catastrophe theory, and mathematical models of stock market behavior. And now, Penrose observes, come the three mysteries. First, the world of physical reality seems to obey laws that actually reside in the world of mathematical forms. This was the puzzle that left Einstein perplexed. Physics Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner (1902-95) was equally dumbfounded:
The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics to the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve. We should be grateful for it and hope that it will remain valid in future research and that it will extend, for better or worse, to our pleasure, even though perhaps also to our bafflement, to wide branches of learning.
Second, the perceiving minds themselves -- the dwelling of our conscious perceptions -- somehow managed to emerge from the physical world. How was mind literally born out of matter? Would we ever be able to formulate a theory of the workings of consciousness that would be as coherent and as convincing as, say, our current theory of electromagnetism? Finally, the circle is mysteriously closed. Those perceiving minds were miraculously able to gain access to the mathematical world by discovering or creating and articulating a treasury of abstract mathematical forms and concepts.
Penrose does not offer an explanation for any of the three mysteries. Rather, he laconically concludes: "No doubt there are not really three worlds but one, the true nature of which we do not even glimpse at present." This is a much more humble admission than the response of the schoolmaster in the play Forty Years On (written by the English author Alan Bennett) to a somewhat similar question:
Foster: I'm still a bit hazy about the Trinity, sir.
Schoolmaster: Three in one, one in three, perfectly straightforward. Any doubts about that see your maths master.
The puzzle is even more entangled than I have just indicated. There are actually two sides to the success of mathematics in explaining the world around us (a success that Wigner dubbed "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics"), one more astonishing than the other. First, there is an aspect one might call "active." When physicists wander through nature's labyrinth, they light their way by mathematics -- the tools they use and develop, the models they construct, and the explanations they conjure are all mathematical in nature. This, on the face of it, is a miracle in itself. Newton observed a falling apple, the Moon, and tides on the beaches (I'm not even sure if he ever saw those!), not mathematical equations. Yet he was somehow able to extract from all of these natural phenomena, clear, concise, and unbelievably accurate mathematical laws of nature. Similarly, when the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831-79) extended the framework of classical physics to include all the electric and magnetic phenomena that were known in the 1860s, he did so by means of just four mathematical equations. Think about this for a moment. The explanation of a collection of experimental results in electromagnetism and light, which had previously taken volumes to describe, was reduced to four succinct equations. Einstein's general relativity is even more astounding -- it is a perfect example of an extraordinarily precise, self-consistent mathematical theory of something as fundamental as the structure of space and time.
But there is also a "passive" side to the mysterious effectiveness of mathematics, and it is so surprising that the "active" aspect pales by comparison. Concepts and relations explored by mathematicians only for pure reasons -- with absolutely no application in mind -- turn out decades (or sometimes centuries) later to be the unexpected solutions to problems grounded in physical reality! How is that possible? Take for instance the somewhat amusing case of the eccentric British mathematician Godfrey Harold Hardy (1877-1947). Hardy was so proud of the fact that his work consisted of nothing but pure mathematics that he emphatically declared: "No discovery of mine has made, or is likely to make, directly or indirectly, for good or ill, the least difference to the amenity of the world." Guess what -- he was wrong. One of his works was reincarnated as the Hardy-Weinberg law (named after Hardy and the German physician Wilhelm Weinberg [1862-1937]), a fundamental principle used by geneticists to study the evolution of populations. Put simply, the Hardy-Weinberg law states that if a large population is mating totally at random (and migration, mutation, and selection do not occur), then the genetic constitution remains constant from one generation to the next. Even Hardy's seemingly abstract work on number theory -- the study of the properties of the natural numbers -- found unexpected applications. In 1973, the British mathematician Clifford Cocks used the theory of numbers to create a breakthrough in cryptography -- the development of codes. Cocks's discovery made another statement by Hardy obsolete. In his famous book A Mathematician's Apology, published in 1940, Hardy pronounced: "No one has yet discovered any war-like purpose to be served by the theory of numbers." Clearly, Hardy was yet again in error. Codes have been absolutely essential for military communications. So even Hardy, one of the most vocal critics of applied mathematics, was "dragged" (probably kicking and screaming, if he had been alive) into producing useful mathematical theories.
But this is only the tip of the iceberg. Kepler and Newton discovered that the planets in our solar system follow orbits in the shape of ellipses -- the very curves studied by the Greek mathematician Menaechmus (fl. ca. 350 BC) two millennia earlier. The new types of geometries outlined by Georg Friedrich Bernhard Riemann (1826-66) in a classic lecture in 1854 turned out to be precisely the tools that Einstein needed to explain the cosmic fabric. A mathematical "language" called group theory, developed by the young prodigy Évariste Galois (1811-32) simply to determine the solvability of algebraic equations, has today become the language used by physicists, engineers, linguists, and even anthropologists to describe all the symmetries of the world. Moreover, the concept of mathematical symmetry patterns has, in some sense, turned the entire scientific process on its head. For centuries the route to understanding the workings of the cosmos started with a collection of experimental or observational facts, from which, by trial and error, scientists attempted to formulate general laws of nature. The scheme was to begin with local observations and build the jigsaw puzzle piece by piece. With the recognition in the twentieth century that well-defined mathematical designs underlie the structure of the subatomic world, modern-day physicists started to do precisely the opposite. They put the mathematical symmetry principles first, insisting that the laws of nature and indeed the basic building blocks of matter should follow certain patterns, and they deduced the general laws from these requirements. How does nature know to obey these abstract mathematical symmetries?
In 1975, Mitch Feigenbaum, then a young mathematical physicist at Los Alamos National Laboratory, was playing with his HP-65 pocket calculator. He was examining the behavior of a simple equation. He noticed that a sequence of numbers that appeared in the calculations was getting closer and closer to a particular number: 4.669...To his amazement, when he examined other equations, the same curious number appeared again. Feigenbaum soon concluded that his discovery represented something universal, which somehow marked the transition from order to chaos, even though he had no explanation for it. Not surprisingly, physicists were very skeptical at first. After all, why should the same number characterize the behavior of what appeared to be rather different systems? After six months of professional refereeing, Feigenbaum's first paper on the topic was rejected. Not much later, however, experiments showed that when liquid helium is heated from below it behaves precisely as predicted by Feigenbaum's universal solution. And this was not the only system found to act this way. Feigenbaum's astonishing number showed up in the transition from the orderly flow of a fluid to turbulence, and even in the behavior of water dripping from a tap.
The list of such "anticipations" by mathematicians of the needs of various disciplines of later generations just goes on and on. One of the most fascinating examples of the mysterious and unexpected interplay between mathematics and the real (physical) world is provided by the story of knot theory -- the mathematical study of knots. A mathematical knot resembles an ordinary knot in a string, with the string's ends spliced together. That is, a mathematical knot is a closed curve with no loose ends. Oddly, the main impetus for the development of mathematical knot theory came from an incorrect model for the atom that was developed in the nineteenth century. Once that model was abandoned -- only two decades after its conception -- knot theory continued to evolve as a relatively obscure branch of pure mathematics. Amazingly, this abstract endeavor suddenly found extensive modern applications in topics ranging from the molecular structure of DNA to string theory -- the attempt to unify the subatomic world with gravity. I shall return to this remarkable tale in chapter 8, because its circular history is perhaps the best demonstration of how branches of mathematics can emerge from attempts to explain physical reality, then how they wander into the abstract realm of mathematics, only to eventually return unexpectedly to their ancestral origins.
Discovered or Invented?
Even the brief description I have presented so far already provides overwhelming evidence of a universe that is either governed by mathematics or, at the very least, susceptible to analysis through mathematics. As this book will show, much, and perhaps all, of the human enterprise also seems to emerge from an underlying mathematical facility, even where least expected. Examine, for instance, an example from the world of finance -- the Black-Scholes option pricing formula (1973). The Black-Scholes model won its originators (Myron Scholes and Robert Carhart Merton; Fischer Black passed away before the prize was awarded) the Nobel Memorial Prize in economics. The key equation in the model enables the understanding of stock option pricing (options are financial instruments that allow bidders to buy or sell stocks at a future point in time, at agreed-upon prices). Here, however, comes a surprising fact. At the heart of this model lies a phenomenon that had been studied by physicists for decades -- Brownian motion, the state of agitated motion exhibited by tiny particles such as pollen suspended in water or smoke particles in the air. Then, as if that were not enough, the same equation also applies to the motion of hundreds of thousands of stars in star clusters. Isn't this, in the language of Alice in Wonderland, "curiouser and curiouser"? After all, whatever the cosmos may be doing, business and finance are definitely worlds created by the human mind.
Or, take a common problem encountered by electronic board manufacturers and designers of computers. They use laser drills to make tens of thousands of holes in their boards. In order to minimize the cost, the computer designers do not want their drills to behave as "accidental tourists." Rather, the problem is to find the shortest "tour" among the holes, that visits each hole position exactly once. As it turns out, mathematicians have investigated this exact problem, known as the traveling salesman problem, since the 1920s. Basically, if a salesperson or a politician on the campaign trail needs to travel in the most economical way to a given number of cities, and the cost of travel between each pair of cities is known, then the traveler must somehow figure out the cheapest way of visiting all the cities and returning to his or her starting point. The traveling salesman problem was solved for 49 cities in the United States in 1954. By 2004, it was solved for 24,978 towns in Sweden. In other words, the electronics industry, companies routing trucks for parcel pickups, and even Japanese manufacturers of pinball-like pachinko machines (which have to hammer thousands of nails) have to rely on mathematics for something as simple as drilling, scheduling, or the physical design of computers.
Mathematics has even penetrated into areas not traditionally associated with the exact sciences. For instance, there is a Journal of Mathematical Sociology (which in 2006 was in its thirtieth volume) that is oriented toward a mathematical understanding of complex social structures, organizations, and informal groups. The journal articles address topics ranging from a mathematical model for predicting public opinion to one predicting interaction in social groups.
Going in the other direction -- from mathematics into the humanities -- the field of computational linguistics, which originally involved only computer scientists, has now become an interdisciplinary research effort that brings together linguists, cognitive psychologists, logicians, and artificial intelligence experts, to study the intricacies of languages that have evolved naturally.
Is this some mischievous trick played on us, such that all the human struggles to grasp and comprehend ultimately lead to uncovering the more and more subtle fields of mathematics upon which the universe and we, its complex creatures, were all created? Is mathematics, as educators like to say, the hidden textbook -- the one the professor teaches from -- while giving his or her students a much lesser version so that he or she will seem all the wiser? Or, to use the biblical metaphor, is mathematics in some sense the ultimate fruit of the tree of knowledge?
As I noted briefly at the beginning of this chapter, the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics creates many intriguing puzzles: Does mathematics have an existence that is entirely independent of the human mind? In other words, are we merely discovering mathematical verities, just as astronomers discover previously unknown galaxies? Or, is mathematics nothing but a human invention? If mathematics indeed exists in some abstract fairyland, what is the relation between this mystical world and physical reality? How does the human brain, with its known limitations, gain access to such an immutable world, outside of space and time? On the other hand, if mathematics is merely a human invention and it has no existence outside our minds, how can we explain the fact that the invention of so many mathematical truths miraculously anticipated questions about the cosmos and human life not even posed until many centuries later? These are not easy questions. As I will show abundantly in this book, even modern-day mathematicians, cognitive scientists, and philosophers don't agree on the answers. In 1989, the French mathematician Alain Connes, winner of two of the most prestigious prizes in mathematics, the Fields Medal (1982) and the Crafoord Prize (2001), expressed his views very clearly:
Take prime numbers [those divisible only by one and themselves], for example, which as far as I'm concerned, constitute a more stable reality than the material reality that surrounds us. The working mathematician can be likened to an explorer who sets out to discover the world. One discovers basic facts from experience. In doing simple calculations, for example, one realizes that the series of prime numbers seems to go on without end. The mathematician's job, then, is to demonstrate that there exists an infinity of prime numbers. This is, of course, an old result due to Euclid. One of the most interesting consequences of this proof is that if someone claims one day to have found the greatest prime number, it will be easy to show that he's wrong. The same is true for any proof. We run up therefore against a reality every bit as incontestable as physical reality.
Martin Gardner, the famous author of numerous texts in recreational mathematics, also takes the side of mathematics as a discovery. To him, there is no question that numbers and mathematics have their own existence, whether humans know about them or not. He once wittily remarked: "If two dinosaurs joined two other dinosaurs in a clearing, there would be four there, even though no humans were around to observe it, and the beasts were too stupid to know it." As Connes emphasized, supporters of the "mathematics-as-a-discovery" perspective (which, as we shall see, conforms with the Platonic view) point out that once any particular mathematical concept has been grasped, say the natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4,..., then we are up against undeniable facts, such as 32 1 42 5 52, irrespective of what we think about these relations. This gives at least the impression that we are in contact with an existing reality.
Others disagree. While reviewing a book in which Connes presented his ideas, the British mathematician Sir Michael Atiyah (who won the Fields Medal in 1966 and the Abel Prize in 2004) remarked:
Any mathematician must sympathize with Connes. We all feel that the integers, or circles, really exist in some abstract sense and the Platonic view [which will be described in detail in chapter 2] is extremely seductive. But can we really defend it? Had the universe been one dimensional or even discrete it is difficult to see how geometry could have evolved. It might seem that with the integers we are on firmer ground, and that counting is really a primordial notion. But let us imagine that intelligence had resided, not in mankind, but in some vast solitary and isolated jelly-fish, buried deep in the depths of the Pacific Ocean. It would have no experience of individual objects, only with the surrounding water. Motion, temperature and pressure would provide its basic sensory data. In such a pure continuum the discrete would not arise and there would be nothing to count.
Atiyah therefore believes that "man has created [the emphasis is mine] mathematics by idealizing and abstracting elements of the physical world." Linguist George Lakoff and psychologist Rafael Núñez agree. In their book Where Mathematics Comes From, they conclude: "Mathematics is a natural part of being human. It arises from our bodies, our brains, and our everyday experiences in the world."
The viewpoint of Atiyah, Lakoff, and Núñez raises another interesting question. If mathematics is entirely a human invention, is it truly universal? In other words, if extraterrestrial intelligent civilizations exist, would they invent the same mathematics? Carl Sagan (1934-96) used to think that the answer to the last question was in the affirmative. In his book Cosmos, when he discussed what type of signal an intelligent civilization would transmit into space, he said: "It is extremely unlikely that any natural physical process could transmit radio messages containing prime numbers only. If we received such a message we would deduce a civilization out there that was at least fond of prime numbers." But how certain is that? In his recent book A New Kind of Science, mathematical physicist Stephen Wolfram argued that what we call "our mathematics" may represent just one possibility out of a rich variety of "flavors" of mathematics. For instance, instead of using rules based on mathematical equations to describe nature, we could use different types of rules, embodied in simple computer programs. Furthermore, some cosmologists have recently discussed even the possibility that our universe is but one member of a multiverse -- a huge ensemble of universes. If such a multiverse indeed exists, would we really expect the other universes to have the same mathematics?
Molecular biologists and cognitive scientists bring to the table yet another perspective, based on studies of the faculties of the brain. To some of these researchers, mathematics is not very different from language. In other words, in this "cognitive" scenario, after eons during which humans stared at two hands, two eyes, and two breasts, an abstract definition of the number 2 has emerged, much in the same way that the word "bird" has come to represent many two-winged animals that can fly. In the words of the French neuroscientist Jean-Pierre Changeux: "For me the axiomatic method [used, for instance, in Euclidean geometry] is the expression of cerebral faculties connected with the use of the human brain. For what characterizes language is precisely its generative character." But, if mathematics is just another language, how can we explain the fact that while children study languages easily, many of them find it so hard to study mathematics? The Scottish child prodigy Marjory Fleming (1803-11) charmingly described the type of difficulties students encounter with mathematics. Fleming, who never lived to see her ninth birthday, left journals that comprise more than nine thousand words of prose and five hundred lines of verse. In one place she complains: "I am now going to tell you the horrible and wretched plague that my multiplication table gives me; you can't conceive it. The most devilish thing is 8 times 8 and 7 times 7; it is what nature itself can't endure."
A few of the elements in the intricate questions I have presented can be recast into a different form: Is there any difference in basic kind between mathematics and other expressions of the human mind, such as the visual arts or music? If there isn't, why does mathematics exhibit an imposing coherence and self-consistency that does not appear to exist in any other human creation? Euclid's geometry, for instance, remains as correct today (where it applies) as it was in 300 BC; it represents "truths" that are forced upon us. By contrast, we are neither compelled today to listen to the same music the ancient Greeks listened to nor to adhere to Aristotle's naïve model of the cosmos.
Very few scientific subjects today still make use of ideas that can be three thousand years old. On the other hand, the latest research in mathematics may refer to theorems that were published last year, or last week, but it may also use the formula for the surface area of a sphere proved by Archimedes around 250 BC! The nineteenth century knot model of the atom survived for barely two decades because new discoveries proved elements of the theory to be in error. This is how science progresses. Newton gave credit (or not! see chapter 4) for his great vision to those giants upon whose shoulders he stood. He might also have apologized to those giants whose work he had made obsolete.
This is not the pattern in mathematics. Even though the formalism needed to prove certain results might have changed, the mathematical results themselves do not change. In fact, as mathematician and author Ian Stewart once put it, "There is a word in mathematics for previous results that are later changed -- they are simply called mistakes." And such mistakes are judged to be mistakes not because of new findings, as in the other sciences, but because of a more careful and rigorous reference to the same old mathematical truths. Does this indeed make mathematics God's native tongue?
If you think that understanding whether mathematics was invented or discovered is not that important, consider how loaded the difference between "invented" and "discovered" becomes in the question: Was God invented or discovered? Or even more provocatively: Did God create humans in his own image, or did humans invent God in their own image?
I will attempt to tackle many of these intriguing questions (and quite a few additional ones) and their tantalizing answers in this book. In the process, I shall review insights gained from the works of some of the greatest mathematicians, physicists, philosophers, cognitive scientists, and linguists of past and present centuries. I shall also seek the opinions, caveats, and reservations of many modern thinkers. We start this exciting journey with the groundbreaking perspective of some of the very early philosophers.

The eye-catching title adorns a book that will not disappoint the curious reader. Those not so great at math, or so knowledgeable about religion, will thoroughly enjoy Livio's simplified (but not condescending) explanations. The diagrams are especially well-done, and frequent enough to break up the somewhat dense text. It might surprise the reader to realize that the math that is referenced is not made of confusing, abstract concepts. Much of the focus is on the origins of mathematical principles (pretty basic stuff) and on the theoreticians themselves. One of the eternal debates that Livio discusses - was math created by humans or did we discover it - is explored through both sides of the argument. The use of passages from original texts gives the book a variety of voices. Some evidence is almost anecdotal in its personal and emotional nature. The reader gets a look at the personalities of many of the most famous mathematicians. Livio makes math more personal by relating it to God. He makes mathematicians more personal by telling us about their lives, not just their theories. This parallel method of giving the reader a new perspective is effective - the reader is sure to remember the details of this book.
I really enjoyed this book, which documents the history of mathematics and examines both its natural and constructed characteristics. It is very well written and the author is clearly very knowledgeable about the topic. Highly recommended.
Livio offers a superb, personal journey through the history and philosophy of mathematics, focusing on the seemingly paradoxical characteristics of its being, on the one hand, invented by humans and reflective of human consciousness and perception, and, on the other, its incredible explanatory power regarding the natural world. Fascinating, intellectually engaging, and full of revealing anecdotes, this is a pleasure to read that at the same time stimulates the mind.
In this work, Livio explores the question as to whether mathematics is a discovered force in the universe or was simply invented by the human mind. To do so, he provides a detailed history of mathematics as it relates to the nature of the subject itself. Although prior knowledge of mathematics is not necessary to understand the meaning or the intent of "Is God A Mathematician?" this work is probably not for someone that doesn't like math. Livio explains the different mathematical theories well for novices, but occasionally the concepts are too difficult to explain in just a few short pages and thus require more thought and understanding (especially in a logic-based chapter). The work as a whole was extremely insightful. It allowed me to think about math in a different way as well as pay closer attention to the world around me. Unfortunately, however, it was dull at points.
I enjoyed this book a lot. It was very informative and well researched. I learned a lot about the evolution of math and how math and philosophy intersect. I did think that it was very dense. I do not have a lot of knowledge about the history of math or philosophy so parts of it were hard to get through. I think this would be a great book for a history of math type class.
I thought this book was very new and opening. I had never read a book about the history of math, and I was originally put off by the title. I half expected a theological debate concerning how math is a language god uses, or how the universality of math and physical constants proves the existence of god. I was happy to learn that it dealt more with enlightening the reader. As my first book on the history of math, I found it to be easy, and riddled with mathematical intrigue.
I found Livio's response to the question of mathematics as a human creation or mere discovery to be both informative and interesting. He gives his readers enough information about mathematics and its history so that they can deduce an answer to the question themselves. Yet, do not allow the mention of mathematics to alarm or frighten you. Livio is effective in making even the most difficult concept easy to contextually understand, examining many mathematical breakthroughs from the time of Pythagoras to modern day through revealing not only the significance of the doctrine created but the social surroundings of the mathematician. Overall, Livio's work was enlightening, and although I found periodic lulls in the rhetoric, I would certainly recommend it to those interested in mathematics, philosophy, or history.
Just a repeat of his other books. Just with a fancy title. Mostly his opinions

Good point. She was born in 1322 (as the article already stated correctly) but the period of her reign previously displayed (1312-1355) was actually the time of the reign of her father, John III. Joanna reigned from 1355 to 1406. It has been edited. Thomas Antonius 07:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I rec'd 10 different fabrics but see only 9 on color chart. What am I missing?
You will use 8 out of 9 fat quarter pieces from your kit. You can add the extra fat quarter to your stash!
Horrible directions! Not clear at all! A/b and c/ d are different sizes. How can it work??
From Fabrics A and B: you will cut one square 11-5/8 to create four separate quarter square triangles per print). From Fabrics C and D: you will cut two squares 8-5/8, four half square triangles per print. If you are still running into any trouble, you can get in touch with our Support Team at http://www.craftsy.com/feedback/submit.
I'm having difficulties figuring out what to do when I sew the A B triangle combo on the corners-- do I just overlap the points of the AB combos?
We hope you are enjoying your quilting project. If you have any other questions, please email our support team here: http://www.craftsy.com/feedback/submit
Before I download one more time, is this the second, corrected pattern???
This pattern has been updated and you should be able to access the corrected pattern directly from your Craftsy account.
I already made this before the new instructions came out. The old instructions had the E and F fabrics turned around. I would have much rather had it the way it shows in the picture. A little dissapointed.
I spent a lot of time before I figured out the problem. I think it's about time for you to reprint your directions!
Hi there. We did update this pattern recently - have you tried re-downloading it? If you're still running into any trouble, you can get in touch with us at http://www.craftsy.com/feedback/submit
Thank you so much for catching that! As a new quilter I might have not notice the mix up or understood where I went wrong. Thanks to Crafty for letting me know a different version was available for download.
I made this pattern from two of the kits from Craftsy. It is a fairly easy pattern to make. My only complaint is that the pattern mixed up fabrics E and F depending on whether you look at the picture or go by the instructions. It caused some confusion on my part.
This was more challenging than I had anticipated but it all worked out in the end. I did have one fabric left over and never did figure out where I went wrong or where it belonged. I see that the pattern was updated but did not see what had changed and didn't want to dig out the original pattern to compare the versions. I used a lot of starch to make sure the bias edges did not distort.
Take Craftsy with you!

Social expression displayed in exhibit
Published: Sunday, June 18, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 18, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
PENLAND -- Penland Gallery will host "Ethos: Craft and Social Conscience," an exhibit of works by artists who use their work to reflect or comment on social and cultural issues, through July 30.
Some of the work in the show is directly representational. A print by Peter Gourfain, for example, depicts the anguish of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. Photographs by Asheville artist Ralph Burns look at expressions of faith and belief.
Other work is more symbolic, such as a series of ceramic bowls by Paulus Berenshohn holding lit candles as a memorial to children killed in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
The exhibit includes work in handmade books, metals, textiles, beading, photography, printmaking, clay and mixed-media.
For more information, call (828) 765-6211.

Re: The Official NACA mortgage thread
Thanks to both of you for the great informtion. I was concerned about having to get re-approved after waiting for the house to be built. My wife starts a field placement in August and she will only be able to work 4 days a week instead of 5, so we will potentially be losing some income (although we will supplement with student loans, I don't think they'll let us count this as income). Our current DTI is sitting pretty at 30%, so losing the $3-400 of income won't hurt too bad.
So after the contract is signed, we then go to bank app -- the bank we'll be using in St. Louis is Citibank. Hearing that we won't need to be re-approved makes me breath a sigh of relief though. I could see that throwing a wrench into our process.
