HoopsHype David Stern rumors
David Stern was so afraid of inviting notoriously cantankerous Bill Russell to Stern's induction ceremony into the Basketball Hall of Fame, the former NBA commissioner had a mutual friend ask the Boston Celtic legend. Russell always felt that black players and coaches were given short shrift in the Hall of Fame, and hadn't been there in 40 years. He refused to attend both the ceremony when his No. 6 jersey was retired in 1972 by the Celtics and his own induction into the Hall of Fame in 1975. New York Post
Me: I would think you have two views on LeBron -- that he left Cleveland and Cleveland goes nuts, but he goes to Miami and wins championships. And then, he comes back. David Stern: I told LeBron, I thought that regardless of how poorly executed The Decision was, I thought the world was being horribly unfair to him. He was entitled to make that decision and he was entitled to make the decision he made. If it makes him happy, then I'm happy. I think it's great. The additional dividend being, apparently, he has been much appreciated by the fans of the world for his decision to return to Cleveland. And I think that's wonderful. And I think that it demonstrates how embedded the NBA is into the psyche of not just America, but maybe even the world. That during the world Cup, the second-most talked about issue was where would LeBron go? There was a baseball season going on, but everyone wanted to talk about LeBron. I thought that was a very positive development. And it sort of demonstrated something we've said over the years, that the drama that's on and off the court provides fodder for our fans to think about, talk about, and get involved in some discussions about. NBA.com
Former NBA Commissioner David Stern advocated adopting the rules of FIFA, soccer's international governing body, which limits Olympic soccer participation to players 23 and under. But Bryant and other players spoke out strongly against the proposal, and it was quietly shelved. But Stern's proposal still has some support among some NBA teams. "To us, it would make sense to have age limits on this," one team executive said. "That would tell you that you have X number of years of risk to accept." NBA.com
David Stern: Somebody asked me about being opportunistic. We were early adopters with respect to digital, NBA.com, NBA TV, NBA League Pass, even the NBA on cable back in 1979. We didn't have a specific plan, but we had a view that there were things that you had to take advantage of. With respect to social responsibility, we espoused the view that if you don't stand for something, you're not going to stand for anything. And we tried to preach that to the teams, and it was very rewarding to see each of our teams with not just a Community Relations department, and big ones, and with foundations and extraordinary embracing of what sports could do and mean. Basketball Without Borders is taking place as we speak in South Africa. I guess we're in Rome, and I was looking at a recent memo on what was going on with the NBA in Madagascar, and Africa, assisting the State Department and sports diplomacy. This thing is so embedded, and we're going to continue doing our part on a regular basis. NBA.com
DS: You know, over the years, we were working on so many different -- you mean, when we were working with Magic Johnson and HIV, or dealing with Latrell Sprewell and the thing with his coach? We were dealing with Ron Artest going into the stands, we were dealing with [Tim] Donaghy, we were dealing with Gilbert Arenas. We were dealing with subsequent lockouts. We managed to keep very, very busy -- like, Holy Moses, what's up today? What's on the table? And so, for us, there was a lot to do. Me: Is $2 billion for the Clippers an outlier? DS: Oh, no, I don't think it's an outlier at all. I think it values one of the markets with the highest television revenue locally. It values the opportunity, the sponsorships, the ticket prices, the building, in a spectacular way. And well deserved. NBA.com
Flanked by Magic Johnson, Larry Bird and Bill Russell, David Stern entered the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame promoting the NBA and deflecting attention from himself and his impact on the game of basketball and the league. "I think the future is incredibly bright," the former commissioner said at the Springfield Symphony Hall on Friday night. "The reason I am here is because of thousands of people over the years who have done so much. The league is in spectacular shape going forward under the extraordinary leadership of Adam Silver." ESPN.com
The Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is welcoming its newest group of inductees. Former NBA Commissioner David Stern led the class of 10 that received its membership blazers on Thursday. The induction gala is Friday night down the street from the hoops shrine. Also in the class of 2014 are former NBA stars Alonzo Mourning and Mitch Richmond and NCAA championship-winning coaches Nolan Richardson of Arkansas and Gary Williams of Maryland. USA Today Sports
Scott Agness: Larry Bird is also a presenter for former commissioner David Stern. He'll be joined by Magic Johnson, Bob Lanier, and Russ Granik. Twitter @ScottAgness
Stern will be enshrined Friday in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, part of a 2014 class that includes former players Alonzo Mourning and Mitch Richmond, along with NCAA championship-winning coaches Nolan Richardson and Gary Williams. Stern ended his run as commissioner after exactly 30 years on Feb. 1 — he won't say retired, because he's still working — and once thought he would wait five years for induction, same as players. Officials from the NBA and Hall of Fame persuaded him otherwise, and nobody is arguing that he belongs immediately. "It would be hard to overstate the impact I think David has had on the game of basketball. Admitting that I'm prejudiced toward basketball, David Stern could go down in our era as the greatest commissioner of all-time in all sports," said former NBA coach and ESPN analyst P.J. Carlesimo. Boston Herald

USA Today Sports
David Stern remembers the days when an NBA staff that numbered about two dozen was just trying to keep some teams in existence long enough to get them on national TV. Now the former commissioner looks at a league whose 1980 championship series was not broadcast live but now has games televised around the world, whose players average more than $5 million a year in salary as the highest-paid team athletes in sports, and sometimes can't believe he and his colleagues pulled it off. "You can't even do justice to everything that everybody has done," Stern said in a phone interview. "All you can do is focus on small chunks of it, but it's great fun to contemplate how the NBA family has pulled together to be at a place where our players are now at the top of the celebrity period. "Pretty, pretty amazing and great." USA Today Sports
Yet you can safely presume that you're going to be hearing and reading about this debate for the rest of the summer, with Team USA scheduled to be over all your various screens throughout August and September. The crusade David Stern tried to start before leaving office to replace the NBA's stars in international play with its kids is sure to be revived. Stern, shortly before the 2012 London Games, suggested on behalf of his owners that the NBA's future Olympic involvement should be restricted to players 23 and younger -- just like they do in men's Olympic soccer -- to start lessening the offseason demands on the game's biggest names as well as the fears of the jittery teams responsible for paying them in sickness and in health. ESPN.com
His name is J. Bruce Miller. He is said to be a longtime personal friend of David Stern's and has been trying for years to bring a revival of the ABA's Kentucky Colonels to the City of Louisville. (...) Miller: "As I've repeatedly said, ONCE the League gets control of the Sterling situation either by Sterling losing and the sale carrying forth OR by Sterling winning and the League (itself) moving forward as per Silver "...with our own proceedings." --- then the time will come to focus on the television rights negotiation which will also involve the potential expansion to Seattle and another city (most likely to be Louisville)." Sonics Rising
The Cavs still have several hurdles to overcome. Rival teams are skeptical that James and Gilbert will be able to patch up their differences in the wake of James' televised "announcement" and Gilbert's subsequent open letter that attacked James' character and got him fined by then-commissioner David Stern. There has been a cooling of the tension between the parties in recent years, but James still harbors some ill feelings that both would have to attempt to settle before any partnership could be renewed, sources said. ESPN.com
Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling's team of lawyers has hired four private investigation firms to dig up dirt on the NBA's former and current commissioners and its 29 other owners, a person familiar with Sterling's legal strategy told the Associated Press. Investigators were given a six-figure budget over the next 30 days to examine the league's finances, allegations of previous discriminatory conduct and compensation to past Commissioner David Stern and current Commissioner Adam Silver, said the person who spoke to The Associated Press on Thursday night on condition of anonymity. The person wasn't authorized to talk publicly. USA Today Sports
The person said the investigators also are looking into whether other owners made any off-color jokes, or racist or sexist remarks. "The gloves are off, as they say," the person said. "Have them dig up all the dirt they can find." USA Today Sports
What appear to be Adam Silver's leadership strengths now that he is David Stern's replacement? Marc Stein: He is incredibly approachable and accessible. He's clearly not afraid to consider tweaks of all kinds to the game and seems willing to put pretty much anything on the table at a time when the league is doing well and it would be easy to just push the status quo. He also strikes me as quite comfortable in the glare of the spotlight despite the size of the very big shoes he's stepped into. I've said from the start that establishing the sort of authoritarian presence that I think a commissioner has to have is going to be his biggest challenge after the domineering way Stern lorded over the game for three decades. But you'd have to say Silver has quickly accumulated a lot of fans — and rightfully so — with the way he's handled the Donald Sterling situation. He's going to force Sterling out of the league and ultimately preside over a $2 billion sale of Sterling's team to make all the other owners happy. He's off to some start. Ed Odeven Reporting
Ballmer, I'm told, was furious at what he thought was unfair treatment at the hands of Stern (those feelings may have dissipated with Silver's ascension to Commissioner). NBA.com
Gary Washburn: Since the days of the #sonics relocation, David Stern wanted Steve Ballmer in the owner's fraternity, so the @NBA considers this a victory Twitter @GwashburnGlobe

BLACKSBURG, Va., June 16, 2009 -- With more than 53 million children in the United States spending time in some 135,000 school buildings across the country, concern about the possible indoor pollution they are exposed to for several hours a day is understandable. Possible contaminants include asbestos, lead, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), radon, pesticides, and biological agents such as fungi and bacteria.
"As with the bulk of the national civil infrastructure, the public school infrastructure is at risk of deterioration and in need of systematic condition management," said Deborah Young-Corbett &&a href="http://www.mlsoc.vt.edu/people/young/">http://www.mlsoc.vt.edu/people/young/> (http://www.mlsoc.vt.edu/people/young/ [1]), an assistant professor who directs the Occupational and Construction Hazard Reduction Engineering Laboratory, part of Virginia Tech's Myers-Lawson School of Construction and the Via Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Virginia Tech.
"Building condition maintenance and management practices are correlated with the health of the indoor environment. Given the constrained financial resources facing our national educational system, school decision makers are in need of systematic methods of evaluating risks associated with facility condition and prioritizing maintenance activities," she added.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) considers this problem significant, and has awarded Young-Corbett a $174, 275 grant to help provide a way to better manage the health of the public school infrastructure. Young-Corbett points to a study conducted by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES) that cites approximately one-quarter of the nation's schools, housing some 11 million of the total number of school children, as requiring "extensive repair." And nearly 40 percent of the 135,000 school buildings reported unsatisfactory environmental conditions.
School officials "need a framework for enhanced decision-making in their selection of maintenance and capital outlay alternatives for all of the environmental health aspects of the public school infrastructure," Young-Corbett said.
The NSF award will allow her to develop a strategy for use by the school officials.
Young-Corbett is among a breed of engineering faculty called industrial hygienists. She emphasizes the control of health hazards that come from the built environment or that are inherent to the construction process. She received her doctorate in industrial and systems engineering from Virginia Tech, and holds two master's degrees. One is in ecology from N.C. State University and the second one is in industrial and systems engineering, also from Virginia Tech. Her bachelor's degree is in biology.
She holds certifications as an industrial hygienist, a safety professional, and a hazardous materials manager.
Among her current projects, she is using evaluation tools developed by the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Building Assessment Survey and Evaluation (BASE) of the indoor environment to catalog parameters from non-LEED certified housing structures across economic and geographic sectors. She is looking for relationships between the sectors that contribute to the inhabitants' health, comfort, and willingness to adapt to new sustainability technology.
Using her engineering skills, Young-Corbett is working with structural equation modeling and geographic information systems (GIS) to create models to describe the impacts of building construction choices, climate, and indoor pollutants on human health. Her models employ more than 6,000 data points related to building construction, HVAC design, environmental contaminants and inhabitant symptoms collected from some 100 randomly selected public and commercial buildings in 37 cities in 25 states.
Using this information and her new NSF grant, under the agency's Broadening Participation Research Initiation Grants in Engineering (BRIGE) program, to attain additional information, Young-Corbett will be producing a facilities management optimization model and guidelines for school officials.
She also plans to develop a new college-level course on indoor environmental quality that will incorporate her findings as well as the application of established civil infrastructure management techniques to indoor environmental quality management. These established techniques have been successfully applied to different segments of the nation's infrastructure including roads, bridges, water supplies, waste systems, and airports. Her work also extends into the middle schools as she regularly conducts annual presentations targeted to the recruitment of girls into the engineering pipeline.
The College of Engineering &&a href="http://www.eng.vt.edu/">http://www.eng.vt.edu/> (http://www.eng.vt.edu/ [2]) at Virginia Tech is internationally recognized for its excellence in 14 engineering disciplines and computer science. The college's 5,700 undergraduates benefit from an innovative curriculum that provides a "hands-on, minds-on" approach to engineering education, complementing classroom instruction with two unique design-and-build facilities and a strong Cooperative Education Program. With more than 50 research centers and numerous laboratories, the college offers its 1,800 graduate students opportunities in advanced fields of study such as biomedical engineering, state-of-the-art microelectronics, and nanotechnology. Virginia Tech, the most comprehensive university in Virginia, is dedicated to quality, innovation, and results to the commonwealth, the nation, and the world.

text: I'm currently engaged to a wonderful man but I'm beginning to have some thoughts and feelings that I'm concerned about. He's 48 and I'm 40. It will be his third marriage and my second. He has two children who he adores and I have three. He has made it very clear that he has no desire to have more children. I originally agreed and I'm not saying that I definately want more but I'd like the option of having a child with him. Have a child with a man is a very bonding experience. My ex was and is a horrible abusive man. My children haven't spend time with him besides court ordered counseling in three years. I just thought one day I'd have a child that had a wonderful dad and this man is a wonderful dad. I'm also concerned that we won't have the bonding of a couple like one does when you have a child. I guess the feeling of "why would he stay with me" had entered my mind A LOT lately. He says he loves me and that is why but let's be honest sometimes love isn't enough. He also has told me (and now regrets saying it) that his first wife was the best sex of his life and his second wife didn't enjoy sex and it was more like wrestling. He and I have fooled around but have not slept together due to religious reasons. I'm concerned that I can't measure up to great sex and giving him children. I'm wondering what's the point and maybe I should just walk away before I end up homeless in a strange town. BTW I'll be selling my home and moving 1000 miles away to marry him. We'll be living in the house he shared with the baby momma for ten years. Am I crazy or is it normal to feel this way??? He thinks I'm over thinking things but I've been crying on and off for almost a week over this. Please help!

Florals in Winter, you don't say! Well, I do! As seen on model Jaime King, florals can absolutely be worn in Fall and Winter. The key is to balance it with tougher, and warmer pieces, like a great leather biker jacket. King shows this off beautifully, and while most of us here on the West Coast are still enjoying warm weather, if you're in colder areas, don't fret. You can still wear this ensemble either with lace-up boots or classic pumps. Plus, if you're headed to any place tropical for the holidays, this look will serve you well, very well.

Twitter's political engagement map ranks the reaction and engagement triggered by tweets from both presidential candidates.
Twitter has created an interactive map that offers a glimpse into the issues that matter most in each state.
The "political engagement" map shows which of the candidates' tweets had the most reaction and engagement.
In Minnesota, for example, the topic that most engaged tweeters was gay rights, at nearly 25 percent.
In battleground Iowa, though, President Obama's tweets on energy and environment got the most reaction.
For Mitt Romney, retirement was the top topic in Minnesota, while in Iowa it was health care.

In William Zinsser's classic On Writing Well (updated last year) he has a chapter titled "Clutter" which discusses the use of unnecessary words that obscure and weaken what is being said. What better place to turn to for examples than politicians?
3:11 pm on March 28, 2007 Email Stephen W. Carson
Clutter is the language of the Pentagon calling an invasion a "reinforced protective reaction strike" and justifying its vast budgets on the need for "counterforce deterrence." As George Orwell pointed out in "Politics and the English Language," an essay written in 1946 but often cited during the wars in Cambodia, Vietnam and Iraq, "political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible… Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness." Orwell's warning that clutter is not just a nuisance but a deadly tool has come true in recent decades of American military adventurism. It was during George W. Bush's presidency that "civilian casualties" in Iraq became "collateral damage."
Verbal camouflage reached new heights during General Alexander Haig's tenure as President Reagan's secretary of state. Before Haig nobody had thought of saying "at this juncture of maturization" to mean "now." He told the American people that terrorism could be fought with "meaningful sanctionary teeth" and that intermediate nuclear missiles were "at the vortex of cruciality." As for any worries that the public might harbor, his message was "leave it to Al," though what he actually said was: "We must push this to a lower decibel of public fixation. I don't think there's much of a learning curve to be achieved in this area of content."

Weasel program
The weasel program, Dawkins' weasel, or the Dawkins weasel is a thought experiment and a variety of computer simulations illustrating it. Their aim is to demonstrate that the process that drives evolutionary systems — random variation combined with non-random cumulative selection — is different from pure chance.
The thought experiment was formulated by Richard Dawkins, and the first simulation written by him; various other implementations of the program have been written by others.
In chapter 3 of his book The Blind Watchmaker, Dawkins gave the following introduction to the program, referencing the well-known infinite monkey theorem:
I don't know who it was first pointed out that, given enough time, a monkey bashing away at random on a typewriter could produce all the works of Shakespeare. The operative phrase is, of course, given enough time. Let us limit the task facing our monkey somewhat. Suppose that he has to produce, not the complete works of Shakespeare but just the short sentence 'Methinks it is like a weasel', and we shall make it relatively easy by giving him a typewriter with a restricted keyboard, one with just the 26 (capital) letters, and a space bar. How long will he take to write this one little sentence?
The scenario is staged to produce a string of gibberish letters, assuming that the selection of each letter in a sequence of 28 characters will be random. The number of possible combinations in this random sequence is 2728, or about 1040, so the probability that the monkey will produce a given sequence is extremely low. Any particular sequence of 28 characters could be selected as a "target" phrase, all equally as improbable as Dawkins's chosen target, "METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL".
A computer program could be written to carry out the actions of Dawkins's hypothetical monkey, continuously generating combinations of 26 letters and spaces at high speed. Even at the rate of millions of combinations per second, it is unlikely, even given the entire lifetime of the universe to run, that the program would ever produce the phrase "METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL".[1]
Dawkins intends this example to illustrate a common misunderstanding of evolutionary change, i.e. that DNA sequences or organic compounds such as proteins are the result of atoms randomly combining to form more complex structures. In these types of computations, any sequence of amino acids in a protein will be extraordinarily improbable (this is known as Hoyle's fallacy). Rather, evolution proceeds by hill climbing, as in adaptive landscapes.
Dawkins then goes on to show that a process of cumulative selection can take far fewer steps to reach any given target. In Dawkins's words:
We again use our computer monkey, but with a crucial difference in its program. It again begins by choosing a random sequence of 28 letters, just as before ... it duplicates it repeatedly, but with a certain chance of random error – 'mutation' – in the copying. The computer examines the mutant nonsense phrases, the 'progeny' of the original phrase, and chooses the one which, however slightly, most resembles the target phrase, METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL.
By repeating the procedure, a randomly generated sequence of 28 letters and spaces will be gradually changed each generation. The sequences progress through each generation:
- Generation 01: WDLTMNLT DTJBKWIRZREZLMQCO P [2]
- Generation 02: WDLTMNLT DTJBSWIRZREZLMQCO P
- Generation 10: MDLDMNLS ITJISWHRZREZ MECS P
- Generation 20: MELDINLS IT ISWPRKE Z WECSEL
- Generation 30: METHINGS IT ISWLIKE B WECSEL
- Generation 40: METHINKS IT IS LIKE I WEASEL
- Generation 43: METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL
Dawkins continues:
The exact time taken by the computer to reach the target doesn't matter. If you want to know, it completed the whole exercise for me, the first time, while I was out to lunch. It took about half an hour. (Computer enthusiasts may think this unduly slow. The reason is that the program was written in BASIC, a sort of computer baby-talk. When I rewrote it in Pascal, it took 11 seconds.) Computers are a bit faster at this kind of thing than monkeys, but the difference really isn't significant. What matters is the difference between the time taken by cumulative selection, and the time which the same computer, working flat out at the same rate, would take to reach the target phrase if it were forced to use the other procedure of single-step selection: about a million million million million million years. This is more than a million million million times as long as the universe has so far existed.
Implications for biology[edit]
The program aims to demonstrate that the preservation of small changes in an evolving string of characters (or genes) can produce meaningful combinations in a relatively short time as long as there is some mechanism to select cumulative changes, whether it is a person identifying which traits are desirable (in the case of artificial selection) or a criterion of survival ("fitness") imposed by the environment (in the case of natural selection). Reproducing systems tend to preserve traits across generations, because the offspring inherit a copy of the parent's traits. It is the differences between offspring, the variations in copying, which become the basis for selection, allowing phrases closer to the target to survive, and the remaining variants to "die."
Dawkins discusses the issue of the mechanism of selection with respect to his "biomorphs" program:
The human eye has an active role to play in the story. It is the selecting agent. It surveys the litter of progeny and chooses one for breeding. ...Our model, in other words, is strictly a model of artificial selection, not natural selection. The criterion for 'success' is not the direct criterion of survival, as it is in true natural selection. In true natural selection, if a body has what it takes to survive, its genes automatically survive because they are inside it. So the genes that survive tend to be, automatically, those genes that confer on bodies the qualities that assist them to survive.
Regarding the example's applicability to biological evolution, he is careful to point out that it has its limitations:
Although the monkey/Shakespeare model is useful for explaining the distinction between single-step selection and cumulative selection, it is misleading in important ways. One of these is that, in each generation of selective 'breeding', the mutant 'progeny' phrases were judged according to the criterion of resemblance to a distant ideal target, the phrase METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL. Life isn't like that. Evolution has no long-term goal. There is no long-distance target, no final perfection to serve as a criterion for selection, although human vanity cherishes the absurd notion that our species is the final goal of evolution. In real life, the criterion for selection is always short-term, either simple survival or, more generally, reproductive success.
|This article's Criticism or Controversy section may compromise the article's neutral point of view of the subject. (November 2010)
Dawkins's "weasel program" has been the subject of much debate. Intelligent Design proponent William A. Dembski has criticized its assumption that the intermittent stages of such a progression will be selected by evolutionary principles, and asserts that many genes that are useful in tandem would not have arisen independently. It is often suggested that the program works by "locking" a correct letter when it is found. Robert C. Newman, for example, misunderstands the basic algorithm:
For Dawkins, once the computer gets a particular character right, it never allows mutation to work on that character again.
(Mere Creation, p 437)
This misunderstanding has been repeated in the creationist community.[3] Creation Ministries claims that "Once a letter falls into place, Dawkin's program ensures it won't mutate away".[3] While this is not strictly correct, as the 8th iteration of the sample run to the right shows, the conservation of overall similarity to a target of a kind that Dawkins himself acknowledges is foreign to the evolutionary process seems to be a valid caution against accepting the model as a proof, rather than an interesting demonstration of the way characters could be preserved from generation to generation given an appropriate selection mechanism.
Dawkins broached several of these issues himself in The Blind Watchmaker, and has also responded to these criticisms by pointing out that the program was never intended to model biological evolution accurately, and that he very specifically described it as an artificial selection process from the outset, as the citation above shows. It was only meant to demonstrate the power of cumulative selection as compared to random selection, and show the complete unrealism of the popular notion of natural selection as "monkeys pounding on typewriters". These cautions need to be borne in mind as a qualification of Dawkins' enthusiastic rhetorical use of the model in The Blind Watchmaker.
The answer to this criticism is that it is the environment and favorable conditions as well as the higher number of mating events compared to mutation events in a given period of time that "lock" traits of a given species into place. Once a species has evolved a core set of traits that optimize it for an environment, it is unlikely to drift much for millions of years unless there is a drastic change in environmental conditions that prevent the traits from being useful, and even random mutations will be over-ruled by the larger number of instances of mating (where mutated genes will be more likely set back to the status of fellow species without the mutated trait) than the number of mutations in a given period of time. Only large numbers of mutations or a drastically changed environment for a long enough period of time can over-rule the stability of a species gene pool that is always shuffled slightly back to its norm by breeding events. In the case of the weasel program, it is the readability of the evolved sentence and its recognition as a quote from Shakespeare by humans that simulate this process.
It should also be pointed out that evolution doesn't know what the "target" sequence is. So it could have no method of deciding which sequence is more like the "target" sequence.
More complex models[edit]
In The Blind Watchmaker, Dawkins goes on to provide a graphical model of gene selection involving entities he calls biomorphs. These are two-dimensional sets of line segments which bear relationships to each other, drawn under the control of "genes" that determine the appearance of the biomorph. By selecting entities from sequential generations of biomorphs, an experimenter can guide the evolution of the figures toward given shapes, such as "airplane" or "octopus" biomorphs.
As a simulation, the biomorphs are not much closer to the actual genetic behavior of biological organisms. Like the Weasel program, their development is shaped by an external factor, in this case the decisions of the experimenter who chooses which of many possible shapes will go forward into the following generation. They do however serve to illustrate the concept of "genetic space," where each possible gene is treated as a dimension, and the actual genomes of living organisms make up a tiny fraction of all possible gene combinations, most of which will not produce a viable organism. As Dawkins puts it, "however many ways there may be of being alive, it is certain that there are vastly more ways of being dead".
In Climbing Mount Improbable, Dawkins responded to the limitations of the Weasel program by describing programs, written by other parties, that modeled the evolution of the spider web. He suggested that these programs were more realistic models of the evolutionary process, since they had no predetermined goal other than coming up with a web that caught more flies through a "trial and error" process. Spiderwebs were seen as good topics for evolutionary modeling because they were simple examples of biosystems that were easily visualized; the modeling programs successfully generated a range of spider webs similar to those found in nature.
Example algorithm[edit]
Although Dawkins did not provide the source code for his program, a "Weasel" style algorithm could run as follows.
- Start with a random string of 28 characters.
- Make 100 copies of the string (reproduce).
- For each character in each of the 100 copies, with a probability of 5%, replace (mutate) the character with a new random character.
- Compare each new string with the target string "METHINKS IT IS LIKE A WEASEL", and give each a score (the number of letters in the string that are correct and in the correct position).
- If any of the new strings has a perfect score (28), halt. Otherwise, take the highest scoring string, and go to step 2.
For these purposes, a "character" is any uppercase letter, or a space. The number of copies per generation, and the chance of mutation per letter are not specified in Dawkins's book; 100 copies and a 5% mutation rate are examples. Correct letters are not "locked". Each correct letter may become incorrect in subsequent generations. The terms of the program and the existence of the target phrase do however mean that such 'negative mutations' will quickly be 'corrected'.

If a program generating 10 million strings per second had been running since the start of the universe (around 14 billion years, or 10^17 seconds), it would have only generated around 10^24 strings by now.

The most prominent of the country's half-dozen professional advisers to architectural competitions, Jones works out of New Orleans in partnership with Reed Kroloff, the dean of Tulane University's architecture school. After just a few years of full-time advising, Jones, 40, is watching his competitions' winning designs move toward construction, from Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley (the Rockwell Group's SteelStax cultural center in Bethlehem) to back home in New Orleans (Global Green's housing complex by Workshop/apd).
Before clients even decide to launch competitions, Jones says, "We make sure that they've adjusted their expectations. If they're proposing a cultural center for a few million dollars, we tell them, 'You may not get someone like Richard Rogers to enter. But you might well get the next Richard Rogers.'"
Jones sympathizes with architects partly because he trained as one (B.S., University of Virginia; M.Arch., University of Michigan), then practiced for a few years (Cooper Lecky in Washington, D.C., and Goshow Associates in New York). In the late 1990s, as associate director of the Van Alen Institute in New York, he coordinated ideas competitions for Governors Island and the East River's banks.
Working for the General Services Administration's Design Excellence Program in the early 2000s, Jones saw the process from the other side, serving as client to architects such as Antoine Predock and Robert A.M. Stern. "I've looked at thousands of proposals; I've learned how firms are organized, what they've achieved, and how they present themselves," he explains.
So he knows how to sift hype from truth when Jones|Kroloff clients--including Motown Records, the Pentagon, and the Whitney Museum--start hunting for architects. Perhaps only a third of the clients, in the end, decide to host competitions. "Juries can be fun to watch, but the standard selection process is fun to watch, too," Jones says.

I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on how to do the centre for this flower.??
Looks like it was pressed into a screen style strainer, painted black and a yellow dot painted into each square.
Cute Cake
...........just get it to the size and shape I need it to be and press it into a strainer or some netting.?..............
Yes, make a thick(ish) circle of fondant; push it onto a strainer (netting probably will be too close and not look right), then let it dry some over a shallow round object.
i would add tylose to some fondant, roll it into roughly the circular size i want, leaving it reasonably thick, then press gently into the bottom of a curved metal wire sieve and leave to harden. then you should have the texture and shape you need. maybe using black fondant would cut down on the work so it just needed speckling with a little yellow?

Mobile Computing | News
High-speed mobile broadband is poised to explode within the next five years. According to a new forecast, by 2019, subscriptions to LTE and LTE-Advanced will reach into the billions.
According to market research firm ABI Research, as of 2013, total LTE subscriptions had reached just 229.7 million worldwide. But that figure will grow at a compound rate of 43.6 percent each year through 2019, reaching about 2 billion total, driven in large part by the advent of LTE-Advanced. By 2019, more than one-third of those 2 billion subscribers — about 750 million — will have LTE-Advanced, which promises peak download speeds of 1 Gbps and typical download speeds of 100 Mbps to 300 Mbps and uploads of 10 Mbps to 70 Mbps. (Korea launched its first LTE-Advanced service last year and gained a total of 1 million subscribers.)
"Among the LTE subscription growth, Asia-Pacific contributes the most with a 49 percent market share. The second greatest contributor is North America with an 18 percent share," said Marina Lu, research associate at ABI Research, in a prepared statement. "The large population base in Asia combined with rapid LTE network deployment and cost-competitive smartphones has accelerated the remarkable subscriber adoption."
North America at present has about 43.1 million LTE subscribers, according to ABI's reckoning. But, if the current distribution holds steady, that could reach 360 million by 2019 — enough for perhaps two subscriptions per household. About 134 million of those could have LTE-Advanced.
"All the major mobile operators are showing their commitments to carrier aggregation capable LTE-Advanced technology, which can better handle the anticipated explosion in mobile data traffic with greater bandwidth," ABI reported. "North America will be the most aggressive LTE-Advanced market, followed by Asia-Pacific and Western Europe."

The hip setting belies the restaurant's homey flavors, as elements of comfort food infuse dishes such as the mac 'n' locally farmed cheese, which accompanies chervil-crusted pike or arrives solo as part of the vegetarian selection.

And a choice of regular or mini desserts punctuates meals with perfectly portioned chocolate-chip-cookie sundaes, smothered in gelato and smoked sea-salted caramel. A brunch menu greets the morning with more healthy spreads, featuring frittatas, benedicts, and omelets made from cage-free eggs, trans-fat-free oils, and vegetables that got perfect scores on their ACTs.
The certified Bikram yoga instructors at 26hot draw students from all over the western suburbs to their facility, conveniently located near the Roosevelt Road exit of I-355. Within the 1,800-square-foot space, which is kept at 105 degrees and 40% humidity, yogis move through 26 postures designed to build muscle and cardiovascular health. The one-legged balancing stick pose, for example, puts bodies into a T formation, and the tree pose encourages birds to alight on squared shoulders.
The studio's reception area appropriately greets students with fiery-red couches and warm-yellow walls. At the desk, students can rent yoga mats and towels or purchase beverages such as chilled coconut water.
In 1976, busy California mother Joan Barnes wanted nothing more than to find a play place where she and her kids could enjoy age-appropriate, educational activities. Finding none, she developed her own innovative play environment within a developmental-based program structure now known as Gymboree Play & Music. Today, kids tumble and learn in more than 650 locations in 33 countries around the world, engaging in open play and classes designed to build cognitive and motor skills. As parents participate in their children's development, their kids learn to paint, play music, and interact socially outside of their preschool knitting circles.
At Ellyn's, patrons nosh American sandwiches, salads, and entrees while scoping 14 HD TVs and sipping frosty draughts. Throat-lubricating libations include 12 taps, dozens of bottles, and cocktails and martinis as one-of-a-kind as a baby wearing a snowflake costume. Tummy caves will be spelunked by a pioneering dip of spinach, artichoke, and fire-roasted red pepper armed with crispy tortilla chip excavators ($6.99). Ellyn's USDA-choice flat iron steak is infused with chipotle, while its chicken is marinated in cilantro and walnut pesto and char-grilled to maw-taunting specifications ($12.99).
"Our brain is designed to realize what we wish, without any minor errors," says Dahn Yoga founder Ilchi Lee. "If you want success, it will create success. If you want happiness or health, it will create them. Anything is possible, as long as negative thoughts and emotions don't interfere."
To make this challenging, yet hopeful, philosophy accessible to all, Lee combined the Eastern concept of chi energy with his own brain-management system, developing a distinctive program that unlocks inner peace and sweeps up brain clutter caused by the daily stress of always having to find Waldo. This focus, shared by Body & Brain Holistic Yoga and The Life Yoga, forms the basis of the studio's classes and consultations. Warm-up yoga maneuvers awaken muscles before 30–40 minutes of breathing, stretching, core practice, and meditation—including a signature brain-wave vibration technique that aims to calibrate mental and physical energies. Cooldown exercises ease the body back into quotidian functionality before a 10-minute teatime invites socialization among participants while bolstering pinkie endurance.
Cab's Wine Bar Bistro brings global tastes to downtown Glen Ellyn. Husband-and-wife Chef Luis Ayllon and general manager Lisa Ayllon oversee a diverse menu, which draws on Luis's training in France while nodding to Spanish, Asian, and Cajun cuisine. His worldly experience adds a unique touch to dishes ranging from paella to cassoulet, a hearty, slow-cooked casserole that proves especially enjoyable during colder months or whenever you find yourself trapped in a meat locker. Chef Ayllon also specializes in wine pairings, and invites diners to complement their meals with selections from the bistro's wine list, or purchase a bottle to take home.

IPL Therapy is Now Available in Your Own Home
31st December, 2012 - Posted by Victoria Girard - 6 Comments
IPL Therapy or Intense Pulsed Light therapy is used in spas and doctor's offices to perform intense skin rejuvenation and is now finally available for you to use in your own home. Intense pulsed light uses pulses of light ranging from 500-1,000 to deeply renew, repair, and rejuvenate your skin.
The Facial Secret is a home IPL Therapy system that uses pulsing red and yellow LEDs to painlessly repair lines and wrinkles, fade sunspots, and so much more. IPL is said to promote a more complete delivery and absorption of the LED wavelengths making for more impressive results.
Benefits of the Facial Secret IPL Therapy System
- Softens acne scarring
- Increases skin radiance
- Boosts hydration
- Increases elasticity
- Reduces lines and wrinkles
- Helps to prevent visible aging in the skin
- Smoothes texture
- Improves skin tone
- Repairs sun damage
- Tightens
- Decreases puffiness around the eyes
- Softens stretch marks
- Reduces redness associated with rosacea
- Reduces pore size
- Reduces skin degradation
- Treats entire face in 5 minutes
- Non-invasive
- Easy to operate
- Affordable
The combination of red and yellow LEDs pulse in a unique rhythm to effectively promote more beautiful skin that looks younger and healthier. The red LEDs at 660 nanometers stimulate collagen and elastin production, promote healing, improve circulation, and boost reparative processes. The yellow LEDs at 590 nanometers, according the American Academy of Dermatology, lead to tightening, a reduction of wrinkles, improved skin tone, smaller pore size, and effective skin rejuvenation.
The Facial Secret is incredibly easy to use. It has a very compact size and yet covers the entire face in just 5 minutes. Its light weight makes it convenient to use anywhere in the home and easy for travel as well. If your eyes are sensitive to light then I would recommend wearing goggles to make your treatments more comfortable. Otherwise goggles are optional. You can learn more about the benefits and advantages of this unique anti-aging IPL Therapy system here.

Interesting, what are the top IPL brands you recommend? I'm thinking of getting one myself, I'm starting to see laugh lines on my face and it's not funny.
January 8th, 2013 at 3:08 am
This sure does save you the trip to the dermatologist. I'm thinking of getting one for my mom. Hopefully I'll find it online. Thanks for sharing.
January 8th, 2013 at 11:13 am
Your Mom would love it and you can find it right here
January 8th, 2013 at 11:16 am
Laughing and smiling can really make you look beautiful but the lines and wrinkles that remain just aren't the look we are going for, right Stacey?
The Facial Secret (http://revealgreatskin.com/natural-skincare/#!/~/product/category=2598759&id=18599025) is an at home IPL system that makes it super convenient to get these treatments without the hassle or expense of going to the spa or dermatologist.
January 9th, 2013 at 10:20 pm
I don't really have a need fo IPL right now but should there be, I'm glad to know I can get it on my own than spending thousands at commercialized places.
January 11th, 2013 at 12:19 pm

The Department of Education decided today to remove Herbert H. Lehman High School in the Bronx and P.S. 140 Edward K. Ellington in Queens from the list of public schools potentially facing phase-outs this upcoming school year.
Every year, the DOE proposes a list of failing schools that will either be immediately closed or denied incoming students and phased out.
DOE officials said they held "joint public hearings" at both Lehman High and P.S. 140 and heard from teachers, administrators, students and teachers about how the schools are performing and how they can be improved.
According to the DOE, both schools were able to prove that they are improving academically.
The DOE also says Lehman, which has two schools located inside its building, will also have three new high schools open on its campus in the fall.
Lehman officials say Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott visited the school in Westchester Square today to inform the principal of his decision.
While Lehman only had a "D" grade on its latest report card, the school's supporters said Lehman suffered from decisions made by city officials.
"Lehman's a good school, the teachers are great, they try to support the students to do the best they can even though some of them don't do their best," said one Lehman student.
"I'm a senior next year, and I feel so amazing," said another student.
"I think it's great. Our school should stay open. We have a lot of kids who still need to graduate, still need to get things done and kids that like attending here because they're coming from the area," said a third. "So the fact that it's staying open allows them to come to school here and not have to go farther places or travel long distances."
However, the DOE still wants another 20 schools phased out.
The Panel for Educational Policy, which has a majority of members appointed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, is scheduled to vote on those phase-outs on March 11.
The PEP will then meet on March 20 to vote on phasing out the middle school grades from Academy for Social Action: A College Board School in Manhattan and P.S. 156 Laurelton in Queens.
The Department of Education has proposed to phase out the following 20 schools:
ManhattanHigh School of Graphic Communication Arts Choir Academy of Harlem Bread & Roses Integrated Arts High SchoolJ.H.S. 013 Jackie Robinson
The BronxM.S. 203 P.S. 064 Pura Belpre Jonathan Levin High School for Media and Communications M.S. 142 John Philip Sousa Performance School P.S. 230 Dr Roland N. Patterson P.S. 050 Clara Barton
BrooklynP.S. 167 The ParkwayJ.H.S. 166 George Gershwin J.H.S. 302 Rafael Cordero Sheepshead Bay High School General D. Chappie James Middle School of Science P.S. 174 Dumont P.S. 073 Thomas S. Boyland
QueensLaw, Government and Community Service High SchoolBusiness, Computer Applications & Entrepreneurship High School
In addition, the Department of Education is proposing to phase out middle school grades from two schools: Academy for Social Action: A College Board School in Manhattan and P.S. 156 Laurelton in Queens.
On March 7, the DOE has decided to remove Herbert H. Lehman High School in the Bronx and P.S. 140 Edward K. Ellington in Queens from the list of proposed phase-outs.

Houston, Texas
Out of the birthing of my own personal Online Ministry experience, God has chosen and birthed Apostle James Winfree Sr, Ministries to the Church and the Nations of the World. I believe that there are times when our lives and spirit need to be revived, refreshed, and re-ignited concerning our purpose, and the unity and calling for ministry. Apostle James Winfree Sr, Ministries desires to be a catalyst for re-igniting the flames of unity for the work of the ministry, and the advancement of the gospel of Jesus Christ by providing essential ministry resources through the expository teaching of God's Word in order to discover and pursue our purpose for life and Kingdom service.
Spiritual burnout; physical exhaustion; apathy; complacency and the need for healing have permeated the lives of many in the body of Christ from pastors, ministers, church leaders, to lay persons. As a result, love is often loss, and the divine purposes of God often go unfulfilled. The fire that was once an inferno is often reduced to an ember. Therefore, there is an immediate need to re-ignite the passion for purpose. Without passion for the work of the ministry, the church is ultimately rendered ineffective in answering the call of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who has granted each of us a specific purpose before the foundation of the World.
Yes, Apostle James Winfree Sr, Ministries has been called and chosen by God to lay a sure foundation for an effective life-changing ministry based upon Jesus Christ and the expository biblical teaching of God's Word that we may serve those who desire spiritual healing and renewal through Faith, Iinspirations, Rrestorations, and Eencouragements in the Holy Spirit.
Yes, Apostle James Winfree Sr, Online Ministries is dedicated and built on our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Through our faith, and love for Christ and His Church, valuable seeds were sown into my life at a very young age by so many of the Lord's people and great leaders. It was their prayerful desire that God would keep His hands on my life, anoint me for the work of the ministry, and allow me to make Christ knew to others. Will you help me and stand with me in love, mercy and Jesus Christ saving amazing grace as His team reaching and teaching and loving the Nations of our Word? I need you Church!
In The Service Of THE KING OF ALL kings And LORD OVER ALL lords, JESUS CHRIST!!!
Come Up To Greater Kingdom Heights In Jesus Christ.

Dream guys only exist in fantasy land

I've been married for a mere 5 months, together 3 years, but have known my H for over 10 years. I caught him in a lie last night and he eventually fessed up to cheating on me. He had been acting strange for a few weeks, guarding his phone with his life, and he "crashed" at a friend's house two weeks ago, which isn't like him. My H had always been my dreamguy. We met working at a summer camp in college; he had such a good heart. We didn't seriously pursue a relationship until our late 20s because we lived states away from each other, but he was always my gold standard in dating. I adore his family and until last night, I could not have been happier. Now I feel like a fool, and just ripped to shreads. I don't have any family or BFFs where I live, so I'm terribly alone. The aquaintences I have would spread the news like wildfire, so my dog is the unfortunate benificiary of my grief. I just needed to tell someone. I'm so sad, and so angry.

Thanks. Like anybody else who ends up in this situation, I don't know what to do. We don't have kids yet and I can't imagine what it would be like to go through this if we had them. Now that this has happened, and although he believes it will never happen again, I don't know how I'm ever going to trust him enough to start a family. My father left my mother with four kids under 10, for his secretary, how original. I lived through that but it had a lasting impact on all of us. I don't want to leave him, but I feel like my hopes of having a family are dashed. We're going to go to therapy, so hopefully that will help. I just wish I had a crystal ball. I'm so devistated.
|Tue, 01-29-2013 - 11:43am
You are probably right. There are very few dream guys. Between the ones who have cheated and have been found out, and the ones who have cheated and their SO has yet to find out, if she ever does, that does not leave many left.
I don't know if I could personally remain with someone who did that, always the nagging thought of what he did and can I truly trust him. Some people can get back to that place.

Apache reverse proxy forwarding https header

Apache reverse proxy forwarding https header
I have successfully installed reverse proxy on Apache. It works like a charm. I'm using it to proxy https request to http. My problem is that I need to forward variable SERVER_HTTPS to my end server, to indicate if person is using ssl connection or just http. I have found one way to do: Each time I can forward HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO variable and check on end server:
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'] == 'https')
But this variant is not good for me, because I can't edit the end servers scripts. Lets say that I don't even have access to it. But I know how to check if it is forwarded. So, Generally my question is: Is there any way that I can forward this variable? I have seen one more variant, with Rewrite engine , but it didn't work for me and there is no detailed information. Maybe If I will set my server on Nginx + apache this will send this header variable?
