State severance tax revenues had been lagging earlier this year due to declines in coal production, but the $46.7 million collected last month was slightly ahead of expectations and 20.5 percent more than last December.
Muchow said this year-over-year jump in revenue was the result of a calendar effect and did not represent a surge in production.
"The last collection day in December 2011 fell on Friday the 30th, and the last collection day this year fell on Monday the 31st, which is the official due date for this tax," Muchow said.
Last year, more companies ended up paying their December severance tax on the first day of January.
"The State collected nearly $20.4 million in severance tax during the first two days of January last year and $8.9 million during the first collection day of January this year," Muchow said.
Despite the calendar effect, Muchow said revenue declines from coal seem to have leveled off in recent weeks.
"There does appear to be some industry stabilization following more than a year of decline," he said.
One of the few revenue categories to fall short in December was consumer sales tax.
The state recorded $92 million in total sales collections for the month, about $7.5 million less than the $99.5 million that had been projected.
The shortfall was odd, considering it coincided with a strong holiday shopping season.
Muchow said the decline was mainly due to a one-time transfer of revenue to the State Road Fund.
Each year, the state transfers some sales tax revenue to the road fund to cover a small portion of road construction contracts. That transfer typically occurs in June, but Muchow said officials asked for an earlier than usual transfer in December.
"Due to cash flow needs, the Department of Transportation received a partial payment of nearly $6.5 million in December," Muchow said.
While it had a negative effect on December revenue, Muchow said the transfer would balance out by the end of the year.
"The general revenue fund sales tax collections will be recouped in June when a lower than usual year-end transfer occurs," he said.

Sailing Vacation along the California Coast
A swan 391 strikes out beyond the Golden Gate Bridge, and its crew discovers that they have the West Coast nearly to themselves.
California is home to 38 million people, but here we are, just a mile off the beach, and we're utterly alone. There isn't another boat in sight. When Anton Muzik and I departed from Sausalito at midday on a Saturday aboard his Swan 391, Zeus, San Francisco Bay was cluttered with scores of sailboats. Two of them headed out under the Golden Gate with us. One turned back at Mile Rock; the other, a TP52, rounded the corner heading south, then quickly disappeared over the horizon, leaving us sailing alone, as if we were off the desolate shore of an unpopulated land.
As Anton and I set out on our harbor-hopping way down the central California coast, the numbers suggest that we should have had plenty of other pleasure boats joining us to do the very same thing: More than 7 million people live in the vicinity of San Francisco Bay, and the number of slips in the Central Bay exceeds 11,000. Most of them are filled with boats capable of making the same journey that we're undertaking. It's true that harbors on every coast contain a majority of boats that rarely, if ever, venture more than 10 miles from home, but still, this seems to be an extreme case. Very few boats cruise along the central California coast, and it begs the question: Why?
It's true that California offers a coastline of few harbors. Thanks to its geological inheritance, the state presents a blunt face to the Pacific, one that's long, straight, and stands tall. There are some stretches, both north and south, completely lacking a decent place for a sailor to tuck into. However, this central part of the coast features several good harbors with safe entrances, plenty of guest slips, and warm showers.
Perhaps, then, it's the sea conditions that intimidate sailors and prevent them from venturing out for some coastal cruising? Richard Henry Dana sailed here in 1835 during the voyage that he describes in Two Years Before the Mast, in which he writes: "A painter could not have painted so clear a sky. There was not a speck upon it. Yet it was blowing great guns from the northwest. When you can see a cloud to windward, you feel that there is a place for the wind to come from, but here, it seemed to come from nowhere." Indeed, it's a statement that seems to dominate the impression that many modern mariners have of the area. And let them think that it's an unyielding truth, for it keeps the snarl of traffic on the roads and the clutter of boats inside the bay, and it leaves some spectacular cruising grounds relatively untouched.
In fact, the sailing conditions aren't quite so bad as reputation would have it, and if you take the time to pick your days, there are plenty of opportunities to sail in fair wind. During the spring months, it may blow a cool, clear gale out of the northwest for a day or two, but it's just as likely to draw warm, damp southerlies with showers or light and variable zephyrs with dense fog. Anton and I made our trip over a two-week period in April, and we saw it all.
Reaching south under clear skies with 25 knots over the starboard quarter, we arrive at Pillar Point Harbor, in Half Moon Bay, well before dinnertime. We eat at Ketch Joanne, the focal point of the docks here, which opens at 6:30 a.m., when it fills with the fishermen who dominate this harbor and define its character. Like most harbors in California, Pillar Point is home to a small number of derelict-looking plywood trimarans as well as some perfectly seaworthy-looking yachts, but the many fishing boats here come in all shapes and materials, including wood, steel, and fiberglass. The fishermen catch crab, salmon, albacore, halibut, sardines, and squid. While it's only a short drive north to San Francisco and a short drive east to Silicon Valley, the nearby city of Half Moon Bay nevertheless retains a small-town feel that stands in stark contrast to the urban crowds that we left behind in San Francisco.

MarieAnn North
Two years ago, I decided to complete my Fellowship with the American College of Medical Practice Executives. I had intended to do so for many years and had completed all but the final requirement-write an original research paper. The paper sat on the back burner for several years. It's not that I hadn't started to write the paper. I had actually begun many papers, but the ideas became stale, and I lost interest. Finding a topic that captured my attention finally generated the energy and enthusiasm to see this endeavor through to completion.
I stumbled on my topic quite by accident. I was asked to present a "brown bag lunch" with the faculty at one of my client sites on why so few women fill the top roles in academic medicine. Data supported the perception that diversity statistics were not improving noticeably, even with women making up half of medical school enrollments and filling most middle-management positions in health care. My research and interviews resulted in a list of what it takes for women to make it to those top academic medical center or medical school roles.a
Although this paper was written from a female perspective, my male colleagues thought the list applied to them as well and was not limited to the academic environment.
For those aspiring to make it to the top, success can be attained if you are willing to do the following.
Work very, very hard. Forever! There are no shortcuts. The top echelon female executives interviewed work hard and put in long hours. They are driven, focused, organized, results-oriented, and high achievers. They have good analytical skills and pay attention to detail while not losing the big picture. They are not only intelligent, but also knowledgeable and emotionally mature. Interestingly, these women were not necessarily at the top of their class in college, but more likely one layer down, where they learned to compete.
Make tough decisions about what you are willing to sacrifice so there are no regrets. When asked about the sacrifices they made to succeed in their careers, not one of these female executives could say she had not made serious sacrifices, especially those involving relationships. These women recognized early on that success came at a price and that they could not "have it all." Yet in spite of this, they had no regrets. When asked if, given the chance, they would make different career decisions, the answer was a unanimous "no." These women are satisfied with their lives. The common theme was, "I wouldn't change a thing. The journey has been an extraordinary adventure."
Find a mentor. Or preferably two-a male and a female. Both male and female executives interviewed stated the single most important advice given to someone striving to make it to the top is to find a mentor. You need two people in your professional life at each stage of your career. First, you need a respected peer to share your successes, disappointments, and ideas. Second, you need a mentor who represents in some way what you aspire to be-someone who will take the time to develop others and help others find their niche. Someone who will hold you accountable. Who will push you to excel when you would rather play it safe. Working with a mentor requires a formal relationship, an investment of time, and a game plan.
Be true to yourself; never compromise your integrity or ethics to get ahead. It is critically important not to compromise one's principles along the way and to stay grounded in a strong, ethical value system. Leaders' attitudes and ethics permeate their organizations, and the environments they create directly affect organizational performance. If an employment situation does not support one's personal value system, it's time to change jobs.
Take risks; embrace change, challenge, and creative chaos. The most important trait mentioned by successful female executives is the ability to take risks. There is a unique ego strength that makes these women willing to function outside their "safety zone." They are comfortable with taking charge. They have courage.
Surround yourself with a loyal, talented, high-performing team and develop strong bonds with team members. Genuinely like, care for, and nurture your inner circle. Team building is another important characteristic. These successful women know how to pick good people for their teams and work in a way that brings the entire team to a higher level. They know how to get people to buy into their vision while maintaining (and freely expressing) their individuality and differing points of view. These women have superior communication and delegation skills. They understand leadership is not a popularity contest and are willing to make the tough decisions that stick. There is no ambiguity in their team environments.
Never stop learning. Always find new and better ways of doing everything. Possess wisdom. These women believe in their unlimited capacity to grow at every age and every stage. They have sought out highly visible assignments, and approached them with creativity. They focus on expanding their skill set rather than just focusing on the job at hand. They stay adaptable and flex their styles to get results. They allow people to make mistakes. They recognize what they didn't do well, and don't waste their time and energy in those areas. Instead they have found roles and responsibilities that play to their strengths. They have considerable common sense.
Pick your battles; don't use political capital on the small stuff. Keep your eye on the big picture. Women who made it to the top have learned corporate politics and pick their battles carefully. They know the difference between the small stuff and when to "fall on their sword." They understand who has the real power (i.e., controls the money) in organizations and build relationships with key decision makers. However, they also have perceived when there wasn't a fit with an organization or with a particular boss, and made the decision to move on to another job. In these situations, they took control of their destinies, rather than focus on external obstacles.
Have fun along the way. A sense of humor is critical. In discussing lessons learned, some women mentioned that they would not have taken themselves so seriously and would have had a little more fun along the way. Successful leaders have a sense of humor. Teams that play together and laugh together are energized and creative. A work environment in which people have fun leads to lower stress and less burnout (i.e., better retention of talented people).
Have a real passion for what you do. If you love the work itself, success is a byproduct and not a goal. Don't waste your time on what you don't want to be doing, and don't take a job just because it's a promotion. A paycheck of any size is not enough to result in a satisfying and fulfilling career. There needs to be a sense of accomplishment and a commitment to the work itself to stay the course, particularly when the path is difficult, as it so often is. Enjoy what you do, or even more so, really love what you do. Work isn't just work when you feel passionate about it.

(Don't look for it, I just bought it!) I feel like I just left the best swap meet with all my "steals" but I never even left home. I have been looking everywhere for a resource like Sprout. I'll be shopping here for years to come! Thank you for creating Sprout!"

" I just purchased 10 teacher resource books from Sprout and I can't wait to receive my order. These kinds of books cost a fortune new and are often hard to get used. Besides, the business model behind Sprout is economical and environmentally friendly. Teachers move, they retire, they declutter their teaching materials that they don't need anymore, but where does the stuff go? It ends up spilled out into "free" piles in the staff room, lost at Goodwill, handed down for another teacher because it's "too good to throw out" but then stored endlessly by the recipient, or actually thrown away. Now, it can go to Sprout and be resold to teachers who need, want, and will use the materials because they choose it and buy it for a great price."

HP has just blessed the heavily fortified GR compound with another tool to aid us in our continued world domination. Or maybe they just wanted to ensure we caught the season finale of Game of Thrones. In any event the Omni 27 All-In-One PC is ours to poke and prod. Take a walk with us as we tackle TV viewing, gaming, DVD movies, world domination and more.
The Omni 27 is HP's non-touch friendly all-in-one PC solution. The entire unit is housed in an attractive 27-inch HD monitor. The entire computer is held aloft, as if by magic, on a single brushed metal stabilizing bar, which is rooted by the equally brushed aluminum base. It's quite heavy, but concise with a small footprint. It's girth does surpass the 26lbs of the TouchSmart we tested. Once situated, you can be sure this behemoth is not going anywhere. Moreover, the stabilizer allows the user to pivot the monitor from 90º to approximately 45º to fit your taste and room specifics. Wall mounters don't fret. The stabilizer can be removed for wall mounting, too!
The edge-to-edge glass design makes for a striking show piece and also allows for a full 27in viewable area (diagonally). I did weep a tear of discontent over the 1080p max resolution. At this stage of the game 27inchers should be pumping out 2560 x 1400 minimum. Que Sera, Sera! The monitor displays images beautifully in 1080p, with vibrant and rich colors. Game movies, home videos and photos are all a real treat to behold behind the Omni glass. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
Making it all tick are a series of rather handsome component choices. The digital brains behind the glass is an Intel i5-3550s quad core processor. This is s brand new 2012 Q2 release. This one is all full of youthful vigor and sporting a 3.0GHz clock speed. It's fast and noticeably snappy when launching and moving through programs. The increased pep over the TouchSmart is evident in nearly every application.
The unit in-hand was configured to their top of line spec running on Windows 7 Home Premium. Supporting the CPU like Atlas, are 8GB of DDR3 memory, a 2Tb 7200 RPM SATA hard drive, HDMI-out, Blue-Ray/DVD RW, 4x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0, 802.11 b/g/n wifi, coax connex for set top box connectivity, integrated bluetooth, onboad Gigabit ethernet, RJ-45 network port, 1x audio-out, 1x headphone jack, 1x mic jack, a competent webcam and 1x subwoofer powered by Beats Audio technology. Again, this is their higher spec'd machine. If you're looking to spend less, then you can opt for a more baseline config' with Intel graphics, less memory and less hard storage.
But if you want to get some gaming or even photo editing under your belt, then the AMD Radeon HD 6550A graphic option configuration is the way to go. HP also offers an equivalent Nvidia solution for those allied with "Team Green." The PCMark 7 score, eluded to great gaming potential. But I've never been one who's impressed by synthetic number crunching. Real-world field testing and applications are my bread and butter.
So I downloaded Steam and installed BF2 Bad Company 2, Shank, CS: Global Offensive beta, Saints Row and ARMA 2: Combined Operations for the Day Z zombie survival RPG mod. ARMA 2/Day Z, unsurprisingly chugged the most until I knocked the resolution down to 1600 x 1200. At that point I could keep a constant frame rate of 37 frames per second, on average. This is definitely playable as my wife can attest–since she successfully abandoned me in a barn full of zombies, who she alerted–proof of the possibilities for enjoyable mayhem on the Omni 27. All other games mentioned ran with little problems on their default settings. The 2-dimensional and side-scrolling Shank played the best with a constant 60 frames per second. No surprise there.
I was totally surprised by the graphic prowess of this machine. Without question, anyone on the hunt for a quick and easy gaming box with a constrained footprint, should investigate the HP Omni 27. Even the wireless mouse and keyboard lend themselves to gaming as my wife roused zombies and abandoned her spouse of ten years, all from the comfort of our bed. Charming, right?
General use on the HP Omni 27 is just as inviting. I found now problems loading up Google Chrome and tooling around the interweb. I edited photos shot on the HP 5210 Webcam without a hitch. Connecting to our cable box, the wife and I watched the spectacular season finale of Game of Thrones, Fringe and are planning for a similar finality in The Killing come this Sunday. The whole family enjoyed streaming Netflix movies and my better half is having a grand time with video chat calls over the Omni 27′s embedded webcam. Stellar all-in-one computing, for sure!
The included software suite holds a few gems, but is otherwise par for the course in branding and bloating. I do like the HP LinkUp app. With this, the Omni 27 can connect to other computers on a network and access files directly, without having to transfer files or fumble through lengthy setups. It's a simple but slick tool. Pair this with the decidedly improved Beats Audio speaker enhancement and you can instantly access audio/video libraries right from any computer on your home network. Beats audio adds more punch, clarity and volume to your sounds. It's a hardy and welcomed utilization of the tool this time around.
The numbers seem to agree. The Omni 27 is our highest scorer so far on Futuremark's PCMark 7 benchmark test. But again I urge buyers to get a test run at your local PC shop. Load a browser based game, pop in a DVD and crank the audio. The proof is in the pudding, which can only be enjoyed up close and in person.

Forums >Technical Support>How to post one run only (Facebook or G+)?
Hi all,
just started with runningAhead.
Great tool, but...
Since I wasn' able to get the FB app running (for whatever reason, probably browser inconsistency - I'm on OS X 10.8, FF), I tried to post only one run.
How do I do it?
Is there a possibility to e.g. get a posting like the "Display my last workout" script?
If that is not possible - what is needed to get the integration in FB running? (Would be able to help with debugging)
OK. Blind me.
Finally stumbled upon a good possibility: Go to the Activity graphs and use the "Publish" button for the currently chosen graph.
A bit hidden, but after all a really nice feature.
Now it would be nice getting the Facebook app to work...

Discussing Magnetic Monopoles with Rembert Duine
Professor Theoretical Physics
Click here for lectures (notes, PowerPoint files)
Research interests:
Gauge theories in elementary particle physics.It was subsequently discovered that, indeed, the observed details of all known forces exactly agree with this picture. First it was found that the so-called weak force, in combination with the more familiar electro-magnetic one, is exactly described by a Yang-Mills theory. In 1973 it was concluded that also the strong force is a Yang-Mills theory. I was among the small number of people who were already convinced of this from early 1971. During the later 1970s, all pieces fell into place. Of all simple models describing the fundamental particles, one was standing out, the so-called Standard Model.
More and more data concerning the Higgs particle are being registered at CERN. The most uncertain parameter has always been its mass, which in principle could be anything between 100 and 1000 GeV. Precision checks obtained from numerous experiments suggested that the most likely mass value should be between 114 and roughly 200 GeV. Using results first from Fermilab in the USA, and now the ones pouring in from LHC, the margin of possible mass values were rapidly narrowed down. As from July 4, 2012, the value 126 GeV is being reported, with a margin less than 1 GeV. So far, everything still agrees with the simplest version of the Standard Model ! Modest modifications of the Standard Model would replace the Higgs with a multitude of particles, which will be more difficult to identify. CERN data taking was be interrupted by a long maintenance stop. After that, at higher energies and higher luminosities, more information with much higher precision may be expected.
Quantum gravity and
black holes .
predominant force controlling large scale events in the Universe is the
gravitational one. The physical and the mathematical nature of this force were
put in an entirely new perspective by Albert Einstein. He noted that
gravitation is rooted in geometric properties of space and time themselves. The
equations he wrote down for this force show a remarkable resemblance with the
gauge forces that control the sub-nuclear world as described in the previous
paragraph, but there is one essential difference: if we investigate how
individual sub-atomic particles would affect one another gravitationally, we
find that the infinities are much worse, and renormalization fails here. Under
normal circumstances, the gravitational force between sub-atomic particles is
so weak that these difficulties are insignificant, but at extremely tiny
distance scales, of the order of 10-33 cm, this force
will become strong. We are tempted to believe that, at these tiny distance
scales, the fabric of space and time is affected by quantum mechanical
phenomena, but exactly how this happens is still very mysterious. One approach
to this problem is to ask: under which circumstance is the gravitational force
as strong as it ever can be? The answer to this is clear: at the horizon of a
black hole.
As I have been emphasizing for more than two decades now, the text book description
of quantum gravity (where the Einstein-Hilbert action is quantized using standard procedures) shows flaws here that run
deeper than that it generates infinities: it does not allow a description of a black hole as a single quantum object.
This is a direct contradiction, a paradox, a problem shouting for a radical solution, saying that there is something we
are not doing right. For a long time I was convinced that also superstring theory, in this respect is fundamentally
faulty, but two developments forced me to be more cautious here. One: it is now possible to describe at least some
members of the black hole family using string theory with multidimensional membranes, called D-branes, added to it. The objects thus obtained are purely quantum mechanical and agree with naive expectations so well that many of my colleagues are convinced
that string theory solves the problem. But why does this happen? How does string theory resolve the paradox? Curiously,
string theorists themselves do not quite understand this.
I think that important improvements of the theory are necessary. See below (red
Here comes twist number two: I claim to
have found how to put quantum gravity back in line so as to restore quantum
mechanics for pure black holes. It does not happen automatically, you need a
new symmetry. It is called local conformal invariance. This symmetry is
often used in superstring and supergravity theories, but very often the
symmetry is broken by what we call "anomalies". These anomalies are often
looked upon as a nuisance but a fact of life. I now claim that black holes
only behave as required in a consistent theory if all conformal anomalies
cancel out. This is a very restrictive condition, and, very surprisingly,
this condition also affects the Standard Model itself. All particles are
only allowed to interact with gravity and with each other in very special
ways. Conformal symmetry must be an exact local symmetry, which
is spontaneously broken by the vacuum, exactly like in
the Higgs mechanism.
This leads to the prediction that models exist where all unknown parameters of the Standard Model, such as the finestructure constant, the proton-electron mass ratio, and in fact all other such parameters are computable. Up till now these have been freely adjustable parameters of the theory, to be determined by experiment but they were not yet predicted by any theory.
I am not able to compute these numbers today because the high energy end of the elementary particle properties is not known. There is one firm prediction: constants of Nature are truly constant. All attempts to detect possible space and time dependence of the Standard Model parameters will give negative results. This is why I am highly interested in precision measurements of possible space-time dependence of constants of Nature, such as the ones done by using a so-called "frequency comb". These are high precision comparisons between different spectral frequencies in atoms and molecules. They tell us something very special about the world we live in.
The Hierarchy Problem.
Fundamental aspects of quantum physics, and their
implications for (super) string theory.
Recently, news came that experimenters at MIT plan to "close the
superdeterminism loophole" by looking at the fluctuations of light from
distant quasars. Prediction: of course they will find that Bell's
inequalities are violated. And: no, this does not close the superdeterminism
loophole. Point is that Bell's inequalities will no longer be valid if one
accepts that there can be strong correlations of all fluctuations (including
those of the vacuum fluctuations) at spacelike distances. Superdeterminism
allows that, even makes it likely. Bell assumed that no such correlations
are possible. That's where the loophole is. Quasars don't close it. They too
are correlated, plain and simple. One can calculate the required
correlations. Two-point correlations may still vanish. 3-point correlations
cause Bell violation. These correlations are likely to be very strong.
My earlier research leads to the consideration of string theories where target space (that
is, real space-time) is a lattice. Adding fermions appears to be easy, so my
analysis will include superstrings. I am led to a startling result:
quantized superstrings can be mapped mathematically to classical strings
living on a lattice. The equations of motion of these strings are
straightforward; they're obviously finite, discrete, and classical. At the
classical level, Lorentz invariance is reduced to lattice-Lorentz invariance
- indeed, this is the first such model, and I have been searching for such
models for some time!
Caveat: So far, this was done while
ignoring string-string interactions. These are complicated, because
interaction causes gravity, and gravity causes space-time curvature, which
we cannot handle at the moment.
Large amounts of work remains to be sorted out here. I think this subject is
An important problem can now be
addressed: the hierarchy problem, which is the question why particle
masses are 20 orders of magnitude smaller than the Planck mass, and the
cosmological constant even more than 120 orders of magnitude. Could my
theory explain this? I have been studying some intriguing ideas. Could the
coefficients that relate to the cosmological constant and the mass terms be
due to instantons? These are known for generating exponentially suppressed
amplitudes. My present theory allows me to investigate such approaches. I do
have a candidate gravitational instanton that could be the culprit here, but
details do not yet work out right.
My views on the physical interpretation of quantum theory, and its implications
for Big Bang theories of the Universe, are rapidly evolving.
My earlier papers
(see for instance
Hilbert space in deterministic theories, ) may seem to be very
formal, and moreover, their contents are disputed, even ridiculed, by some of my
colleagues. Is there "free will" or "predestination"? What I am really saying is
that, at the most basic level of Nature's equations, there is no quantum
mechanics, but only classical logic. But even so, who cares?
Well, if true, this would be a very important piece of information to use in
model building. My claim that it has to be true is based on considerations
concerning black holes and the limited amount of quantum information they can
contain. Now investigators put forward that this cannot be
true because of the so-called "Bell inequalities": quantum mechanics strongly
violates these inequalities while classical systems cannot do that. At the
atomic scale, numerous experiments confirm the quantum mechanical predictions.
Can I wiggle myself out of this one?
There are long answers and there is a short one. The long answers are
complicated, and usually my opponents find weak spots in them, but the short
answer is more basic:
I have mathematically sound equations that show how classical
models generate quantum mechanics. It's not fake quantum mechanics, with "pilot
wave functions" or other such nonsense; it's the real thing. End of argument.
However, to produce models that are classical at their most basic levels, while
producing something interesting such as the Standard Model at the TeV scale, is
not easy. Now here I can report progress. Non-trivial models (models in which
particles interact in non-trivial ways) can now be constructed, using what I
call the discrete Hamiltonian formalism. The usual quantum canonical
variables pi and qi are replaced by classical,
commuting, integer variables Pi and Qi
The Hamiltonian is an integer number as well - all this provided suitable
units are chosen. This leads to an improvement of my earlier theories: now
the associated quantum Hamiltonian follows rigorously.
The apparent contradictions usually brought forward to criticise such
ideas now seem to be reduced to semantic difficulties arising when people
use an uinappropriate language to describe physical phenomena. However, I
need to show this more clearly than I can at present, and this will require
more research. See my most recent preprint: <<Hamiltonian formalism for
integer-valued variables and integer time steps and a possible application
in quantum physics>>,
The logic of Superstring Theory will be even easier than that of classical mechanics!
Classical mechanics is based on variables that are real numbers, hence they require infinite series
of decimal places, to be recalculated infinitely many times during any time interval.
This leads to the well-known phenomenon of chaos : regardless how
accurately you specify the initial conditions, after a certain amount of
time the evolution of a classical mechanical system becomes unpredictable. Superstring theory will be based on integers living on a lattice.
Only finite amounts of information are progressed, during finite time steps. No chaos.
To me, Nature is a big jig-saw puzzle, and I see it as my task to try to fit pieces of it together. Click and cut the pieces you see here from the screen and see how they fit, or: read more about it in my book: Bouwstenen van de Schepping (Prometheus/Bert Bakker, ISBN 90 351 1327 6) or its English version: 'In Search of the Ultimate Building Blocks', Cambridge Univ. Press, Paperback, ISBN 0 521 578833; hardback, ISBN 0 521 550831) . In Planetenbiljart, a personal view is described of the potentials of scientific and technological developments in the future. Which possibilities are there and are there things that will be impossible forever? Maybe you enjoy SF novels as much as I do, but dont mistake those for predictions of the future. My book appeared in English: Playing with Planets, World Scientific, ISBN 978-981-279-307-2 (hard cover), ISBN 978-981-279-020-0 ( pbk), 2008.

Tijd in machten van Tien,
door Gerard t Hooft en Stefan Vandoren, Uitgave Natuurwetenschap & Techniek, onderdeel van Uitgeverij
Veen Magazines B.V., ligt nu in de boekwinkels.
"Time in Powers of Ten
" is written in Dutch, but we certainly plan to produce a version in English as soon as possible. The idea is simple: Physicists and astrophysicists
have produced various popularized descriptions of the enormously varying length scales in the Universe, in books and
films. The Universe is some 50 billion light years across, that's nearly 1029 cm. The smallest conceivable objects
are superstrings, somewhere around 10-32 cm. At every scale in powers of ten, our world looks different and very special.
So now, we do the same thing with time. In fact, the variations in the time scales are even bigger. The time scale
for super strings is 10-43 seconds, and age of the Universe is less than 1018 seconds, but there are phenomena that
outlast our Universe by gigantic factors. The lifetime of the most fundamental particle in our world, the proton, is
expected to be something around 1041 seconds, and large black holes can last much longer than that. At nearly every time
scale, things happen in our world, and we describe them,
starting with just one second, then 10 seconds, 100 seconds and so on, until in the middle of the book, where we
switch to the fastest time scales conceivable, until at the end we return to one second.

In particular, it deliberately wrecks the spelling of the family name t Hooft, where it replaces the apostrophe by a beginning quotation mark.
9491 Thooft has its orbit
between those of Mars and Jupiter. This asteroid was discovered March 25, 1971,
by C.J. van Houten and I. van Houten-Groeneveld on Palomar Schmidt plates taken
by T. Gehrels.
They are also the discoverers, in 1977, of asteroid
11779 Zernike, named after my
grand-uncle Frits Zernike.
The 1999 Nobel Prize in Physics has been awarded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences jointly to Gerardus t Hooft and Martinus J.G. Veltman. The Academy s citation:

Another "experiment" was recently reported in which paranormal signals were claimed to be observed. Probably the flaw is an incorrect handling of the statistics, where unintentional bias was difficult to exclude. I am prepared to challenge these and any other serious investigators with a bet.

The Pro collection by Zwilling J.A. Henckels combines their 280 years of knife-forging experience with the simplistic, yet innovat...ive, designed of renowned Italian architect Matteo Thun. An angled bolster helps you cut with enhanced precision, safety and comfort, and encourages a professional ?pinch grip.? The optimized blade shape reduces hand and wrist stress to prevent fatigue with prolonged use. Using Zwilling?s exclusive Sigmaforge® process, knives are precision-forged from a single piece of Friodur® ice-hardened high-carbon German stainless steel, laser-cut for optimal blade angles and finally polished by hand. This results in a sharper blade with a 57 Rockwell hardness for excellent edge retention and superior resilience. Beautiful, all-new design features an angled bolster that allows the entire length of the blade to be used for chopping, slicing, dicing and more. This unique feature also permits the entire length of the blade to be sharpened from bolster to tip. Dynamic handles feature rounded edges and ultra-ergonomic design to reduce fatigue with extended use. The classic triple-rivet handle has a full tang for impeccable geometry and perfect balance. Exclusive special-formula steel and sturdy polymer handles ensure a lifetime of use. This authentic German slicing knife is excellent for everyday slicing and working around bones.

Code of Ethics for Health Sciences LibrarianshipCode of Ethics DefinedBy Richard A. Lyders, AHIP Last month's MLA News featured the latest draft of the association's Code of Ethics for Health Sciences Librarianship, developed by the MLA Ethics Task Force and approved by the MLA Board in February 1994 [MLA News 1994 Mar; (263):1, 7]. To further clarify the code and to assist you in understanding our intentions as we drafted it, the task force here explains certain words and phrases that appear in the document. While these definitions are not part of the code, we hope they will help you understand it more fully. In the end, however, the code you adopt must stand on its own without explanations. It must be understandable in the context of the practicing health sciences librarian and the standards of the profession. The task force has attempted to incorporate the various ideas and issues that have arisen whenever a new version has been presented and critiqued by the membership or member units. Many specific suggestions and concepts have been consolidated into broader categories with more general language. For example, the concepts of "the right to know" and "censorship" are incorporated under the phrase "freedom of inquiry." Certain common words, such as "client" and "best," require narrower definitions tailored to our field. And finally, phrases such as "health information" or "informed health care decisions" need definition to understand how they are used in the code. Society

Yes it is Father's Day here in Spain!
El Dia del Padre is celebrated throughout Spain, Portugal and South America on the 19th of March. It coincides with St Joseph's Day which commemorates Joseph, the patron saint of carpenters and possibly history's most prolific Father.
All over Gran Canaria people will be celebrating today with a family get together and you too could join in the celebrations. Why not surprise the Dad in your life by wishing him a Happy Father's Day in Spanish, 'Feliz dia del Padre'!
Or if you are at Anfi right now, spoil him with a surprise Father's Day Treat – as the saying goes, 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'.
We have a great selection of exhilarating water sports available at Luis Molina Sports on Anfi Beach or why not book up a scuba diving session at Scuba Sur situated in the Anfi shopping centre?
And what Dad could resist a delicious Indian meal or a fresh pizza from our restaurants? Then of course there is always the Havana Bar, situated next to the Plaza, showing live sports and serving cool beers – the perfect Father's Day treat!
Happy Father's Day to all the great Dads out there!
