Current Articles
By Russell Thornberry
-- When you've been married as long as I have, coming up with something truly original for the "little woman" for Valentine's Day can be challenging, but this year I outdid myself. I offered my wife a javelina and she went for it. What's a javelina? Also known as the collard peccary, the javelina is a bristly little member of the swine family that is actually the only wild swine native to North America. They live in the southwestern U.S. and northern Mexico.
A big one will weigh 60 pounds and they are very stinky little critters, thanks to a musk gland on their backs, which sprays a foul mist into the air when they are alarmed. Subsequently, the mist falls back on the mister and, simply put, they stink. What more could a woman want for Valentine's Day? Yea, I know - I'm just a hopeless romantic.
So off to Mexico we went to the Rancho Las Palmas at the invitation of my long-time friends James and Jimmy Ferguson. I have been filming deer hunting TV shows on the ranch for nearly a decade and while the deer hunting has always been exceptional, the javelina population has virtually exploded in the last four or five years. In fact, last December while filming a deer hunt, cameraman Jimmy Little and I saw 50 or more javelinas from our deer blind - all visible at one time. The ground was crawling with them.
After that hunt the Fergusons and I decided that we needed to come back after the deer hunting was over, bring our wives with us, and just hang out and relax for a few days. So that's what we did - on Valentine's Day.
I should point out, that my bride has ice water in her veins and an itchy trigger finger, so when you tell her to shoot something it gets really shot really quickly. Such was the case on the afternoon of St. Valentine's Day. Sharleen and I climbed into a box blind in a particularly javelina rich area. Ten minutes after we arrived we saw a couple of javelinas emerge from the thorny brush in front of us and I was explaining to her where to aim when I happened to look behind us and saw a swarm of the little swine strung down the sendero.
She got turned around and had to pick one out of a dozen or more. The criteria were to wait until her intended target turned broadside and then hold the vertical crosshair through the ear and the horizontal crosshair through the eye, and where the two lines intersected was the magic spot. The .22-250 snorted and the javelina dropped like a sack of sand. In the course of the evening she managed to drop a few more with equal skill. None of them ever took a step. No tracking required! Ya gotta love a woman like that!
When we arrived at the skinning shed the ranch hands were thrilled with the little pigs and immediately began planning their menu to include fresh javelina. They even asked us if we could bring them some more -- and we did.
Jimmy's wife Terri, who had already been introduced to hunting, had little trouble adding some more pigs to the pot, and with a little encouragement we talked James' wife Evelyn into taking up the cause. With her first shot ever at wild game she dropped a handsome pig (beauty is in the eye of the beholder) in its tracks!
And so it was that our wives were wowed with our originality and generosity on Valentine's Day. Nothing says I love you like a javelina in the crosshairs. And if that ain't love . . . I don't know what is.
If you'd like to surprise your Valentine with her very own javelina hunt next year, or get her a surprise birthday present, contact Jimmy Ferguson, Jr. at 2-J outfitters: (979) 533-0694 or email him at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can find more information about deer and dove hunting on the ranch at 2joutfitters.com.
For information on James Ferguson Sr.'s custom rifles contact him at (979) 533-0140. You might have read one of many articles Buckmasters has published on his exceptional, flat shooting rifles, such as the .257 Hot Tamale or the .30x378 Habanero. Suffice to say that any rifle that can be zeroed 2 1/2 inches high at 100 yards, generates bullet muzzle exit speed of 4,000 FPS and lets you aim right at the animal with no holdover out 500 yards is worth investigating.

The Monty Hall Problem and Schrodinger's Cat
Mar 28, 2013
General Nonsense
The famous Monty Hall problem in the field of statistics goes like this: Monty Hall is a game show host. You are given a choice of three doors. One has a car behind it, the other two have goats. If you pick the door with the car, you win it. Your odds are 1-in-3.
So you pick a door, but before it opens, Monty opens one of the other two doors to reveal a goat. He asks if you want to switch from the door you initially picked to the other closed door. Your brain says the odds are the same for any closed door, so you stay. But in fact, the odds are twice as good if you switch doors.
You can see the math of it
. But if you are normal, you'll never reconcile in your mind how one closed door could have better odds than the other. If there are two closed doors remaining, how can the odds be anything but 50-50?
This reminds me of the Schrodinger's Cat thought experiment in which a cat in a sealed box (presumably with air holes) exists in a state of being simultaneously alive and dead depending on the results of a randomized event happening inside the box. How can a cat be alive and dead at the same time? Math says it can happen, my brain says no.
The pattern recognition part of my brain is connecting the Monty Hall problem with the Shrodinger's Cat thought experiment because both situations feel like proof that our brains are not equipped to understand reality at its most basic level.
Most of us accept the idea that math is a better indicator of truth than our buggy personal perceptions. Math doesn't lie, but our brains are huge scam artists. The Monty Hall problem and Schrodinger's Cat are examples in which our perceptions of reality and the math of reality disagree in a big way. It makes me wonder how much of the rest of my so-called reality disagrees with math without me knowing.
If I were programming a computer simulation full of artificial humans who believe they are real, I would need to take some shortcuts in creating their context and history. It would be nearly impossible to invent consistent histories for seven billion people spanning back to the primordial ooze. A far smarter approach would be to craft the history as you go, based on the present, in whatever minimum way is necessary to make all histories consistent.
For example, let's say you learn that you are the grand winner of a lottery. At the moment you realize you are the big winner, history becomes limited to only the possibilities that got you to that winning moment. Before you learned you were a winner, the reality at the lottery headquarters was only a smear of possibilities - like Shrodinger's Cat - where you were both a winner and a loser, just like everyone else. As soon as you learn you won, your history and everyone else's harden to conform to it. No one else can perceive that they won the grand prize in that particular lottery.
If I were the programmer of this simulation that you call your reality, I would make the history dependent on the present just to streamline my work. All I need from my fake history is that it is consistent with all the other fake histories so there is no "tell" left by the programmer.
I realize the simpler explanation for my confusion about Monty Hall and Schrodinger's cat is "Math be hard." But I like the psychological freedom of feeling as though I am the author of my own history and not its bitch.
Here's the cool part: I get to keep my interpretation of reality - in which my history is a manufactured illusion - until something in my present experience is inconsistent with that view.
Recently I heard of two senior citizens with mild dementia who became friendly at a senior care facility. Their fragile minds concocted an elaborate history of being childhood acquaintances that had found each other through fate. No one tries to dissuade them of this illusion because it works for them. They successfully rewrote their histories without any repercussions.
I wonder how often the rest of us rewrite our histories. Our only limitations are that our new histories have to be consistent with whatever scraps of history have already hardened.

Here's a great paper explaining the real-world game dev application for what you describe:
"AI Level of Detail for Really Large Worlds"
Basically, if there's no player "on grid" to observe the simulation directly, then you can simulate aggregates with statistics.
The example given is a pub if a village with NPC (AI players) drinking in the pub, which is fun.

Late as usual. So, anyway, I love the visualization concept. re: Monty Hall. Imagine 3 garage doors in front of contestant 1. One door is on a 1 car garage. The other 2 doors are on a 2 car garage. Monty gives the spiel, blah blah. But he says you can pick the garage. and get to keep the car if it's anywhere in the garage you pick. What garage will you pick? Obviously the 2 door garage. Now imagine a space between the two doors equal to the space between the original two garages. But contestant 2 didn't see them separate the 2 door garage. 2 picks one of the now single door garages (all 3 looking the 'same' now). Monty then merges the other two doors back into a single garage with 2 doors and offers you to keep the garage you have or switch to the double door, getting to keep the car regardless of which garage. You obviously switch to the double door garage. Whether there's a goat behind one of the 2 doors or not is irrelevant. Because...contestant 2 had only a 1 in 3 chance the first time, now he has a 2 in 3 chance. By showing contestant 2 the goat, he's tricking contestant 2 into thinking that the odds changed. They didn't. But, remember, this is my take on reality. Yours may be different

[On the Monty Hall question, your explanation is by far the best I have seen. Your case is airtight. The problem is that it is also an airtight case to say that if there are two doors left, and you have no information about them, the odds of the car being behind a particular one has to be 50%. The third door that is opened to reveal a goat cannot transfer its odds to a different door by magic. It can only remove itself from the game. So while your case is completely logical, so is the opposite case. It looks like a programming bug in our simulation. -- Scott]
You DO have information about those doors after goat #1 is revealed: You know each either hides goat #2 or a car. The odds are only 50% if there is one car, one goat, and two doors. You can't ever arrive at a "50%" number without ignoring one of the 3 doors. Which is illogical in a problem consisting of 3 doors. The incorrect view simply isn't logical no matter how much your illogical meat-brain thinks it is.

Isaac Asimov used to write that he got smarter and better looking as he got older. Whether this was objectively true or not really wouldn't have mattered to him - and that's the point. Smart people invent the future they live in by bending the rules of the reality they live with. As a science fiction writer Asimov was concerned with both and he was happier for it.
Science fiction has played wonderful games with the idea of history - from Blade Runner where androids were given implanted memories that never happened to them, to The Matrix where all of history and collectively experienced reality was nothing but fiction. It is interesting to ponder whether we'd be better off if memory were like a computer hard drive that could be rewritten with new data that is better suited to the present. But if that were possible, would we even be human any more? I don't think so. And for me, it is a happier thought to think about the good of being human, than the good of being something else.
And while I am thinking that, I will get infinitesimally smarter, and better looking, as the time passes. :)

Scott, come on. Is that really ("And you know that how?") your defense of the proposition that reality isn't reality? Because you don't accept that reality exists, you can then say that with certainty that reality doesn't exist?
That is the classical circular argument. Of course, I can't ask you to prove that reality doesn't exist, because you can't prove a negative. But if you believe that reality doesn't exist, then give some proof other than saying, "Joe doesn't believe in reality. Therefore, there is no reality."
That's specious, and a wasted argument. You can do better.

Wasn't that the basic premise of 1984? That history was getting rewritten constantly to fit modern needs.

Actually the monty hall problem is about an improper perspective.
Logically speaking:
There are 3 goats.
You know one of the doors you don't pick has to be a goat.
You are never told if your door has a goat or not.
In short, revealing the goat is useless; you knew it was there anyways and frankly you don't give a darn about it. The problem is the goat screws up your perspective.
Here is a proper perspective: 2 out of 3 times, you do not pick a goat with your first pick. You only get it right on your first pick 1 out of 3 times. Therefore, 2 out of 3 times, switching is in your benefit.

If I were the programmer of this simulation that you call your reality, I'd make my job easier by programming 6.5 billion NPC (non-playing characters). They don't need any history unless they interact with a playing character. Most of the NPCs will simply appear as statistics on the news: 1,000,000 dead from disease, another 10,000,000 from starvation, 250,000 in an earthquake, etc.

If you want to understand why, all you have to do is read my last post. :-)

OK. I have finally come around on this. I ran my own simulation, and switching was better. Still couldn't understand why. Then I looked at the inverse - what if I was a dedicated switcher and I wanted to lose. When Monty reveals a goat or mule, he takes away one of my chances to lose, so he made it harder for me to lose, and thus easier for me to win.
And, despite all that, I still don't really understand "why" this is the answer and my previous analysis is wrong. The only thing I can say with certainty is that I remember why I always hated probability classes.

To simplify further, let's just look at the switcher scenarios
1. Pick-Car, Reveal-Goat: You Switch to Mule - Lose
2. Pick-Car, Reveal-Mule: You Switch to Goat - Lose
3. Pick-Goat, Reveal-Mule: You Switch to Car - Win
4. Pick-Mule, Reveal-Goat: You Switch to Car - Win
5. Pick-Goat, Reveal-Car: Game Over - Lose
6. Pick Goat, Reveal Goat: Game Over - Lose
7. Pick-Mule, Reveal-Car: Game Over - Lose
8. Pick Mule, Reveal Mule: Game Over - Lose
9. Pick Car, Reveal Car: Game Over - Win
Switcher has 3 wins in 9 scenarios. Or, if you want to just concentrate on the situations in which Monty opens a non-chosen losing door - that is scenarios 1 thru 4 and Switcher has 2 wins in those scenarios.
Now let's look at the possibilities just for a person who keeps his original choice
1. Pick-Car, Reveal-Goat: You Keep Car - Win
2. Pick-Car, Reveal-Mule: You Keep Car- Win
3. Pick-Goat, Reveal-Mule: You Keep Goat - Lose
4. Pick-Mule, Reveal-Goat: You Keep Mule - Lose
5. Pick-Goat, Reveal-Car: Game Over - Lose
6. Pick Goat, Reveal Goat: Game Over - Lose
7. Pick-Mule, Reveal-Car: Game Over - Lose
8. Pick Mule, Reveal Mule: Game Over - Lose
9. Pick Car, Reveal Car: Game Over - Win
Keeper also has 3 wins in 9 scenarios. Or, if you want to just concentrate on the situations in which Monty opens a non-chosen losing door - that is scenarios 1 thru 4 and Keeper has 2 wins in those scenarios.
So the odds are the same for Keeper and Switcher, regardless of whether you consider just the cases where Monty opens a loser door, or if you look at all 9 scenarios (3 choices by you * 3 choices by Monty)
[The fascinating thing is that opposing arguments are both 100% airtight. It's only the human impulse to pick sides that makes us think there is a clear winner as far as the logic goes. But I believe the simulations on this always support the better odds of switching. -- Scott]

I will boil it down for the doubters. Rather than just giving me a thumbs down, please tell me what other possible scenarios exist, other than the 9 below.
1. Pick-Car, Reveal-Goat: You can either Keep Car or Switch to Mule
2. Pick-Car, Reveal-Mule: You can either Keep Car or Switch to Goat
3. Pick Car, Reveal Car: Game Over - Win
4. Pick-Goat, Reveal-Mule: You can either Keep Goat, or Switch to Car
5. Pick-Goat, Reveal-Car: Game Over - Lose
6. Pick Goat, Reveal Goat: Game Over - Lose
7. Pick-Mule, Reveal-Goat: You can either Keep Mule, or Switch to Car
8. Pick-Mule, Reveal-Car: Game Over - Lose
9. Pick Mule, Reveal Mule: Game Over - Lose
There are no other branches to this tree. There 9 scenarios. You have three chances to win if you start the game with a Keep strategy and three chances to win with a Switch strategy

@Melvin1 - That doesn't matter. Instead, the fact that Monty intentionally opens a goat/mule door is the reason why there is no new information revealed when he does the reveal. However, if he randomly opened another door and got a goat, then there would be Bayesian updating and the two problems - choosing before the reveal, choosing after the reveal - would not be independent.
As it is, the two problems are completely independent. The first problem is like you are going to walk into one of two casinos. The first casino has a car and goat and the second casino has a car and a mule. Finding out which casino you walked into has no bearing on your odds of winning.

@AtlantaDude: Scott didn't explicitly say it, but the puzzle presumes that Monty intentionally opens a goat door.

Here is the logic explaining why switching does NOT improve your chances:
The first thing to do is avoid confusion caused by there being two goats. There are two bad outcomes, and for clarity, it is better if we make one a goat and the other a mule.
Now, If we start with three equal possibilities on your first pick it can either be a goat, a mule or a car, and we assume that you have an equal chance of picking any of them. We also know that Monty will ALWAYS reveal a bad prize, regardless of what your initial pick was. Therefore, the only scenarios that exist are as follows.
Pick-Car, Reveal-Goat: Keep Car, Switch Mule
Pick-Car, Reveal-Mule: Keep Car, Switch Goat
Pick-Goat, Reveal-Mule: Keep Goat, Switch Car
Pick-Mule, Reveal-Goat: Keep Mule, Switch Car
As you can see there are two "Keep†outcomes that result in a car, and there are two "Switch†outcomes that result in a car. So keeping and switching both have an equal opportunity to win, and the probability of winning is 2 out of 4, or 50%. This is the probability problem framed from the point AFTER he opens the door.
Now, what if you tell me that Monty does not ALWAYS reveal a bad prize, but that he could also reveal an unchosen door with a car in it? If that is the case, you have to add the following 2 scenarios where he reveals the car after your initial choice
Pick-Goat, Reveal-Car: Game Over-Lose
Pick-Mule, Reveal-Car: Game Over-Lose
Adding those scenarios, gives you the following possibilities
Pick-Car, Reveal-Goat: Keep Car, Switch Mule
Pick-Car, Reveal-Mule: Keep Car, Switch Goat
Pick-Goat, Reveal-Mule: Keep Goat, Switch Car
Pick-Mule, Reveal-Goat: Keep Mule, Switch Car
Pick-Goat, Reveal-Car: Game Over - Lose
Pick-Mule, Reveal-Car: Game Over - Lose
There are still two winning Keep scenarios and two winning Switch scenarios, so keeping and switching have an equal chance of winning.
Finally, let's throw in the option of Monty not doing a reveal. Instead he simply opens the door you choose initially. Those three scenarios look like this
Pick Car, Reveal Car: Game Over – Win
Pick Goat, Reveal Goat: Game Over – Lose
Pick Mule, Reveal Mule: Game Over – Lose
Now, we can combine all these scenarios to look at every outcome. This list comprises all potential outcomes before you make your initial choice.
1. Pick-Car, Reveal-Goat: Keep Car, Switch Mule
2. Pick-Car, Reveal-Mule: Keep Car, Switch Goat
3. Pick-Goat, Reveal-Mule: Keep Goat, Switch Car
4. Pick-Mule, Reveal-Goat: Keep Mule, Switch Car
5. Pick-Goat, Reveal-Car: Game Over - Lose
6. Pick-Mule, Reveal-Car: Game Over - Lose
7. Pick Car, Reveal Car: Game Over – Win
8. Pick Goat, Reveal Goat: Game Over – Lose
9. Pick Mule, Reveal Mule: Game Over – Lose
If you go into this game with a "Keep†Strategy you have 3 chances to win (1, 2 and 7 above) out of 9 total for a 33% probability. If you go in with a "Switch†strategy, you also have three chances to win (3, 4 & 9). So there is not advantage in switching. This is the probability problem BEFORE he opens door, and you have a 33% chance of winning, regadless of whether you go in with a Keep or a Switch strategy.
So if you view the problem from the beginning, you have 33% chance with a Keep or Switch strategy. If you view the problem from the point after a bad prize is revealed, you have a 50% chance with a Keep or Switch strategy.
The confusion comes from two areas - one is mixing up or not counting all the goat outcomes, and the other is mixing up the probability as viewed from the beginning with the probability as viewed from after a door is opened.

It's been said a few times, but I'll jump on the bandwagon:
The Monty Hall problem wasn't that hard for me to figure out -- after my initial 50:50 "obvious" answer. Assuming, of course, that Monty intentionally opens a goat door, he's giving additional information about the two doors you didn't choose, doubling those odds. No magic or reality-bending.
Schroedinger's Cat is a reductio ad absurdum showing the limits of a model (the Copenhagen interpretation) of quantum physics. His argument was that a cat is clearly NOT both alive and dead, and therein lies the weakness of applying quantum physics to the macro world.
That said, quantum physics is indeed difficult for most of us to understand - almost magical. But so were heliocentrism and gravity at one point. We've even become pretty comfortable with electricity (the most useful way of doing so for me was with plumbing analogies).
You raise an interesting question about how we rewrite histories, but you've muddied it up with incorrect examples. Those are just logic puzzles, not alternate realities.

I am afraid that Scott as intentionally or unintentionally bamboozled his readers with this one. The Monty Hall problem is NOT a two-thirds chance of winning if you switch.
The initial problem, pick one out of three, has actually no bearing on the second problem which is pick one out of the two remaining. As soon as he opens a goat door, the original problem is over. Then you are left with a new problem, which is simply that is simply keep door / switch door, each having an equal chance of having a car.
The problem with the explanation, is that it assumes there is some dependency between the two problems, and there would be if Monty only revealed a door when you picked the car. However, he will always remove a goat door, regardless of what you originally pick. Therefore, that goat door does not "lend" its probability to the other non-chosen door. It simply reduces the denominator for both remaining doors' probability from 3 to 2.
For a better explanation see: http://ablestmage.wordpress.com/2007/11/30/the-classic-monty-hall-problem-gets-goatsed/

I expect that thousands of years ago most humans would have summarily rejected the idea that the Earth is a sphere that orbits the Sun because it was so completely counter-intuitive. Our intuition has evolved.

[Pretending, or deluding yourself into believing, that reality does not exist independent of your perception of it is no more than a delusion of grandeur. Reality may suck, but reality it still is.]
[And you know that how? -- Scott]
Reality is what you can get away with. If you can't get away with it it isn't real and has to be dealt with. Saying it isn't real doesn't change that, so the proper course of action is to accept what you perceive as real and deal with it accordingly.

My 52 yr old sister changes our mutual childhood memories regularly to benefit and support her delusional behavior to rationalize her current abusive behavior. Or maybe it is me that has a different memory of mutually experienced events. Or maybe we're both wrong...point being that the human brain is inherently imperfect and we use memory to adapt to current situations and when it is not a life or death adaptation, our brain plays games with us. I'll take door #2.

Because I work in Sutton Hall, I think of the Oak Grove as the geographic center of campus, and I often use it as a point of reference (as in, "if you're in the Oak Grove, face Sutton, and the library is on the right"). But I have come to realize that it is also the emotional center of this campus. I'm so happy to be in an office that has a window facing the Oak Grove, and every day, I spend a few minutes checking out what is happening there.
Late in July, I was working late in my office during a fantastic thunderstorm. Buckets of rain, deafening thunder, and lightning way too close for comfort. The kind of storm that makes you cringe a little in your seat and feel so glad that you're not out in it. All of a sudden, "CRACK!" "That was WAY too close not to have hit something," my boss said to me. We looked out the window and, thankfully, could not see flames, so I went back to work.
Later that night, I saw a posting on Facebook from a colleague who works on the fourth floor of Sutton with a picture of the tree that was struck. Amazing. The lightning took the bark completely off one side of the tree in a perfectly straight line.
So, fast forward a couple weeks later. I get a call from Bill Yagle from the Indiana County Archaeology Society. This group has a booth at the Indiana County Fair each year, and the group was interested, this year, in the dedrochronology of this tree struck by lightning.
No, I didn't know what dedrochronology was either. It means "the scientific method of dating based on the analysis of patterns of tree rings" (thank you, Wikipedia).
Bill, who worked at IUP's Student Co-op Association for thirty years, wanted a ring from this tree. The ICAS then analyzed the ring, dated the tree, and is doing a display at the Indiana County Fair this year that shows what was happening at IUP (of course, it would have been Indiana State Teachers College or Indiana State Normal School, depending on what the rings tell them) at certain times in the tree's history. The Indiana Gazette did a great story on the project.
So, when you're getting your funnel cake, stop by the Indiana County Archaeology Society booth and check out some IUP history.

Woodward 2009: A corral of Cobras and not a real one in sight
by Sam Abuelsamid (RSS feed) on Aug 16th, 2009 at 8:58AM
Someday, many decades from now, after all historical records of the late 20th and early 21st centuries have been extinguished by the great internet crash of 2012, someone will be trying to figure out what happened. As paleontologists are combing through the remainder of scrap yards for clues about what we did here, they may come to the conclusion that the Shelby Cobra was the second most produced car of all time after the VW Beetle. The reality, of course, is that the real Shelby Cobra is exceedingly rare, but the look may well be the most replicated of all time. There are also plenty... Read More

If the polo community does not hold folks (NAH, Beavers, Mr. Do) accountable for their actions, no one will.
I, too, was surprised by the events of the week, but am thankful to be a part of a community where I can posit concerns and know that it will not fall on deaf ears. NAH and Mr. Do constitute a small group of PLAYERS: Ben Schultz, Joe Rstom, newly acquired John Hayes, recently retired Chandel Bodner, Nick Kruze, Dustin Bouma, Jenn Gallup and the whole Do team, they all contributed to big strides in this sport now beloved by thousands. These folks, NAH especially, are not faceless elected officials deserving of your condemnation.
They are committed to cultivating the well- rounded and inclusive development of bike polo, to pushing the boundaries of competition for all that commit themselves to it, and to actualizing the full history-making potential of a fringe sport. There are efforts that have failed and fallen short—but make no mistake, it is not for lack of trying. Personally, I have witnessed many a pick-up game or tournament interrupted by NAH phone calls about rules, reffing, or representation. I have experienced firsthand the frustration caused by spending more time organizing than playing the sport you love.
These are situations NAH organizers and board members take on for the love and growth of the sport. NAH was created only a few years ago by a handful of enthusiastic players, Ben (and if you know Ben, you understand his level of enthusiasm is infectious) and Kev specifically, now leaders passionate about supporting and growing this community. It is this small collection of VOLUNTEERS working to organize the very sport/community that has brought us together, in community and critique. But, a critique is only as valid as the solutions it offers in resolution of the issue in question.
I implore you to take your critique to the next level and position yourself to be a part shaping NAH projects and public presence for the sake and future of bike polo. Use your energy to volunteer for NAH, join and/or start a committee, offer to volunteer
at the North American Championship or regional qualifier, create history, leave a legacy. Contact me directly if you want to get involved. And yes, I am telling you what to do.

Named in 1643 for the day of its discovery, the island was annexed and settlement was begun by the UK in 1888. Phosphate mining began in the 1890s. The UK transferred sovereignty to Australia in 1958. Almost two-thirds of the island has been declared a national park.
It is not known when and by whom the island was discovered, but under the name of Moni it appears on a Dutch chart of 1666. It was first visited in 1688 by Dampier, who found it uninhabited. In 1886 Captain Maclear of H.M.S. "Flying Fish," having discovered an anchorage in a bay which he named Flying Fish Cove, landed a party and made a. small but interesting collection of the flora and fauna.
In the following year Captain Aldrich on H.M.S. " Egeria " visited it, accompanied by Mr J. J. Lister, F.R.S., who formed a larger biological and mineralogical collection. Among the rocks then obtained and submitted to Sir John Murray for examination there were detected specimens of nearly pure phosphate of lime, a discovery which eventually led, in June 1888, to the annexation of the island to the British crown. Soon afterwards a small settlement was established in Flying Fish Cove by Mr G. Clunies Ross, the owner of the Keeling Islands, which lie about 750 M. to the westward. In 1881 Mr Ross and Sir John Murray were granted a lease, but on the further discovery of phosphatic deposits they disposed of their rights in 1897 to a company. In the same year a thorough scientific exploration was made, at the cost of Sir John Murray, by Mr C. W. Andrews, of the British Museum.
When the first settlers arrived, in 1897, it was covered with a dense forest of great trees and luxuriant under-shrubbery. Prior to colonization, the island had never been inhabited.
The island was administered jointly by the British Phosphate Commissioners and District Officers from the U.K. Colonial Office through the Straits Colony, and later the Colony of Singapore. Japan invaded and occupied the island in 1943 and interned the residents until the end of World War II in 1945. At Australia's request, the United Kingdom transferred sovereignty to Australia; in 1957, the Australian government paid the government of Singapore 2.9 million pounds in compensation. The first Australian Official Representative arrived in 1958 and was replaced by an Administrator in 1968. Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands together are called Australia's Indian Ocean Territories (IOTs) and since 1997 share a single Administrator resident on Christmas Island.
In early 1986, the Christmas Island Assembly held a design competition for an island flag (shown above), however, the winning design has never been formally adopted as the official flag of the territory. The flag of Australia is still used.
During 2001, Christmas Island received a large number of asylum seekers travelling by boat, most of them from the Middle East and intending to apply for asylum in Australia. The arrival of the Norwegian cargo vessel MV Tampa, which had rescued people from the sinking Indonesian fishing-boat Palapa in international waters nearby, precipitated a diplomatic standoff between Australia, Norway, and Indonesia. The vessel held 420 asylum seekers from Afghanistan, 13 from Sri Lanka, and five from Indonesia. The standoff eventually led to the asylum seekers being transported to Nauru for processing. Another boatload of asylum seekers was taken from Christmas Island to Papua New Guinea for processing, after it was claimed that many of the adult asylum seekers threw their children into the water, apparently in protest at being turned away. This was later proven to be false.
John Howard, the Australian Prime Minister, later passed legislation through the Australian Parliament which excised Christmas Island from Australia's migration zone, meaning that asylum seekers arriving there could not automatically apply for refugee status, allowing the Australian navy to relocate them to other countries as part of the Pacific Solution.
Phosphate mining had been the only significant economic activity, but in December 1987 the Australian Government closed the mine. In 1991, the mine was reopened. With the support of the government, a $34 million casino opened in 1993. The casino closed in 1998. The Australian Government in 2001 agreed to support the creation of a commercial space-launching site on the island, projected to begin operations in the near future.

Analysis: If Emanuel is kept off ballot, Chico looks like the man
By Fran Spielman City Hall Reporter January 24, 2011 8:42PM
Gery Chico offers his reaction Monday, January 24, 2011, to the Illinois Appellate Court's decision Monday to remove Rahm Emanuel from the ballot. | Jean Lachat~Sun-Times
- Brown: Keep Rahm Emanuel on the ballot
- Mitchell: Bombshell was allowing Rahm on ballot
- Appellate Court's ruling
Updated: April 30, 2011 4:46AM
If the Illinois Supreme Court fails to overturn Monday's stunning ruling or refuses to even hear the residency case against Rahm Emanuel, Chicago's topsy-turvy race for mayor could have a new frontrunner.
His name is Gery Chico.
Democratic ward bosses from across the city said Chico is the likely beneficiary if fund-raising heavyweight Emanuel remains off the ballot.
As an all-purpose mayoral trouble-shooter who has served Mayor Daley as chief-of-staff, school board president, park board president and City Colleges board chairman, Chico is the natural second-choice for a business establishment that has rallied around Emanuel.
The business community craves nothing more than stability. In a field that includes Chico, former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley Braun and retiring City Clerk Miguel del Valle, Chico would likely be their second-choice.
He might even see an immediate surge of campaign contributions from business leaders determined to protect their flanks. Chico has so far raised $2.5 million to Emanuel's $11.7 million and Braun's $450,000.
"If you were for Rahm, he's kind of a business-like person who can get things done. Gery is a similar personality. He's more like Rahm than Carol is like Rahm. More people in Rahm's camp would default to him than to Carol," said one Democratic ward boss, who asked to remain anonymous.
Braun is conceding nothing. She hopes to inherit black and independent white votes that might have gone to President Obama's former White House chief of staff.
After appealing to Emanuel supporters and undecided voters to join her "little United Nations" of a campaign. Braun staked a claim to business support.
"I'm hopeful that the business community will recognize how hard I worked for them when I was United States senator and the relationships that I can bring — that I can continue to move this city in the direction of being a world-class city," she said.
"It's not like I'm a stranger to these people. I've worked for them and I've delivered for them as senator, and I look forward to the opportunity to work with them again."
If Emanuel remains ineligible, Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce President Jerry Roper predicted that business leaders would line up behind "the person who has the best track record of working in this city" — and that person is Chico.
"Carol is a small business person and an entrepreneur. But, I would expect the vast majority of the business community to gravitate toward Chico. He was in the [Daley] administration. He understands the inner workings to make some of the changes take place. Carol has a different approach. Gery would seem to have the edge," said Roper, whose board has not yet taken sides in the mayor's race.
Business support is not the only thing up for grabs. So is the support of Democratic ward bosses who have either pledged their loyalty to Emanuel or remained on the fence.
Until Monday's ruling, Ald. Mike Zalewski (23rd), the City Council's president pro temp, said he was inclined to remain neutral in the mayor's race and concentrate on his own aldermanic election.
But, now that Emanuel has been thrown off the ballot, Zalewski said the 23rd Ward Regular Democratic Organization he serves as committeeman is likely to endorse Chico.
"This will weigh heavily on my decision. It's really rocked the landscape," Zalewski said of Monday's ruling.
"A lot of arrows are pointing toward Chico in my part of town. He got the police [union] endorsement. We're getting a lot of calls from people asking for Chico's signs and literature. He's the biggest beneficiary of this ruling."
Ald. Pat O'Connor (40th), Daley's City Council floor leader, is among a handful of North Side ward bosses firmly in Emanuel's camp.
O'Connor said he plans to stick with Emanuel "until it's determined he can no longer be a mayoral candidate," then "reassess and see who'll have us."
If Chico inherits much of Emanuel's support, pressure would intensify for del Valle to drop out of the race. But, the retiring City Clerk bristled at the suggestion that he should throw his support to Chico, the only other Hispanic in the race.
"I am a candidate who has a lot to offer. Why should [I]? It never crossed my mind. Not at all," del Valle said.
"This election is a wonderful opportunity to present voters with real choices. Why would I deny [them] that? That's why I thought the residency issue was a distraction and that voters should have choices, including Rahm Emanuel."
Asked Monday if he considers himself the new frontrunner, Chico said, "I mean — I'm running. I'm trying to get every vote I can from everybody in this city. ... From Day One, I was in this race [and] the biggest names in Illinois political history have come through this race. I just never paid that much attention to it."

In late 2011 I founded the literary fiction press, Perfect Edge Books.
We have released a handful of title and there are more in production. While we're "officially" open to unsolicited submissions, I make no apologies for a mildly nepotistic selection process. Through my involvement with various interesting writing networks — and my role in founding LitReactor.com — I've developed a good idea of the kind of books I'm looking for. I like personal recommendations when it comes to finding my authors.
Some info:
- We don't pay advances. You will not get rich from your Perfect Edge book unless it sells very well. Everything is royalties-based. You can choose your own price for the ebook and you get 50% of whatever money is made on each ebook (net). Royalties on paperbacks range from 10% to 25%.
- We don't offer heavy editorial services as part of any contract; in other words, we're don't like suggesting deleting this or that character, or changing the ending, or whatever. I have, however, taken on a trusted friend, Pela Via, who can work with authors who want to work with an editor. Her time isn't entirely devoted to Perfect Edge, but I can get her involved if authors have questions or insecurities about their work. This comes out of my own pocket, so I try to be selective about who Pela works with.
- We don't negotiate contracts. I'm not even responsible for the contracts anyway (they are universal across the different imprints of the parent company) so it's no use asking me if we can change this or that. We can't.
- Yes, we're looking for edgy writers, and we prefer edgy to safe and boring. But a qualification: edgy doesn't mean you write about rapist transvestites robbing banks while beating the crap out of orphans. When I say edgy, I mean seriously edgy: I want authors whose entire attitude towards writing and publishing and the public role of art is dangerous by normal liberal standards. They exist. I'm publishing some of them.
Here are some of our titles:
About Pela Via
I have taken Pela Via on as editor for Perfect Edge Books. She is one of my favorite people: she does things seriously, calmly, and always with an infuriatingly faultless, never excessive friendliness. Since she's a good editor, I keep her around despite these flaws.
She's a writer and editor from the US west coast. Former fiction editor for Outsider Writers, she edited the anthologies Warmed and Bound and the forthcoming Booked Anthology, and is the editor-in-chief of ManArchy Magazine.
Her own writing is considered literary noir and is presently available in short form both online and in print.

How did Sly get muslce and ripped body? Well apparently his training began when, inspired by bodybuilder and actor Steve Reeves. How he transform himself into a specimine of physicality. Much like Bruce Lee this involved pushing his body to the absolute limit with a regime that even Stallone now admits was ill-informed. The drive that made both Bruce and Sly icons also has a habbit of over-loading the body with work. Almost caused partly by his extreme over-training.

Blurty for Scott loves Charmaine --- Charm.
|Tuesday, July 8th, 2003
Dear Diary,
So you're probably wondering about this whole "Scott" thing.
Well, there's a fine line between love and hate.
One minute I love him, the next I hate him, and then a few seconds after that we're all over each other and we never want to let go.
You see, the whole thing started a while ago, when he first kissed me. After he did it he said, "I never should have done that."
It broke my heart.
I told Professor Xavier about it, about all my jumbled up feelings. He gave me alot of advice. It was good advice.
Advice that made me fall in love with Logan.
But even I after being with Logan, and telling Logan that I loved him.
I never forgot about Scott. I really thought I was over him. But, I never was.
I acted like I hated him, I guess cause I was trying to disguise my true feelings, trying to cover up the pain. I even threw a shoe at him once. It just got him mad.
Logan told me that Scott liked me, that he had a thing for me, but that me and Scott didn't belong.
I wonder if Logan just said that, cause he didn't want me to go back to Scott, but he wanted me to feel good at the same time.
Then, I saw Scott, it was like, yesterday. We were out in the garden, and we just clicked.
And now I love Scott all over again, and this time, he loves me.
|LEO - Your sweetness is appreciated, but don't go overboard with that. It's a day to stand your ground. Refuse to back away from a confrontation with co-worker, as you are in the right. Make a budget, and stick to it.
Blurty for Scott loves Charmaine --- Charm.

Blackstone Ditches $25 Billion Dell Deal Amid PC Declines
Updated from 9:21 a.m ET to include Dell comments and Friday share prices.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The battle for Dell (DELL) will continue without private equity giant Blackstone Group (BX).
Blackstone Group said Friday it is withdrawing a $14.25 a share proposal for Dell because of recent sharp declines in the personal computer market, which undercut the prospect of a turnaround.
The firm is withdrawing its offer, which valued Dell shares at about $25 billion because of "an unprecedented 14 percent market decline in PC volume in the first quarter of 2013, its steepest drop in history, and inconsistent with management's projections for modest industry growth," according to a letter sent to Dell.Earlier this month, technology research firm International Data Corporation said PC shipments in the U.S. fell fell 13.9% year-over-year to 76.3 million units in the first quarter, sharply worse than the 7.7% the firm had forecast. Dell shares were trading lower by over 3.5% in early Friday trading to $13.44, below all proposals to take control of the computer maker. Prior to Friday's decision to abandon its $14.25 a share proposal, a source familiar with the Blackstone investor group said the firm had been in contact with Michael Dell and had traveled to the company's Round Rock, Texas headquarters, as it conducted a due diligence process. In a letter to Dell, the private equity firm said it learned that the company had lowered its operating income projections for 2013 to $3.0 billion from $3.7 billion, indicating a "rapidly eroding financial profile" of the company. "As the Board's Special Committee continues to oversee its process to ensure the best possible outcome for Dell shareholders, we remain focused on our customers and on providing innovative products and solutions to help them succeed," David Frink, a Dell spokesperson, said in an e-mailed statement. Blackstone's withdrawal leaves a $13.65 a share bid for Dell by Silver Lake Partners and founder Michael Dell, as well as a $15 a share proposal for a controlling stake in Dell floated by activist investor Carl Icahn, with both offers running a close contest. On Tuesday, Icahn reached a standstill with Dell that will cap his holding in the computer giant to 10% as he seeks support for his offer, which would keep Dell as a publicly traded company. Icahn's proposal relies on the support of both Southeastern Asset Management and T. Rowe Price, an institutional shareholder, which previously stated a lack of support for Silver Lake's $13.65 a share offer.
Southeastern Asset Management, one of Dell's (DELL) largest independent shareholders, said earlier in April both a $14.25 a share proposal by the Blackstone Group (BX) and a $15 a share proposal by Carl Icahn to buy the struggling PC-maker were superior to the company's proposed $24.4 billion buyout deal with founder Michel Dell and Silver Lake. Southeastern's support for either proposal indicated that Icahn was still gunning for Dell, despite media reports to the contrary. Icahn's proposal for the acquisition of up to 58% of Dell's shares hinges on support from Southeastern Asset Management and T. Rowe Price, in addition to the roughly $1 billion stake Icahn Enterprises holds in the Dell's shares.

Body of missing Indiana teen found on Ogden Dunes shore
Post-Tribune Staff Report July 10, 2012 9:40AM
Updated: July 10, 2012 8:29PM
The body of 15-year-old Corey McFry was recovered at 4:45 a.m. Tuesday along the shore of Ogden Dunes on Lake Michigan.
McFry, of Portage, was located about a quarter of a mile from where he was last seen swimming on Sunday.
Dean Christy, a member of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, was walking the beach when he made the discovery. The Ogden Dunes fire and police departments were called along with Indiana Conservation Officer Bryce Klimek and Portage and fire crews.
The body was removed by the Porter County Coroner's office.
No autopsy was expected according to the coroners office, said Gene Davis, conservation officer for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.

Friday News Roundup: Giants can save big bucks by releasing Snee
Happy Friday! Here is some Giants news from the "wires" so to speak…
RotoWorld: The Newark Star-Ledger considers Giants RG Chris Snee a lock to be released.
"Snee, 32 on Saturday, is set to count a gargantuan $11.75 million against the 2014 salary cap. There's absolutely no way he's coming back at that rate. The G-Men will save $7.25 million against the cap by cutting Snee. He underwent hip and elbow surgery this past season after going on I.R. in early October. The Giants need to overhaul their offensive line this offseason."
SNYGiants insider Ralph Vacchiano reports that former Giants WR Ramses Barden has signed a futures contract with the Buffalo Bills.
Rotoworld: The Newark Star-Ledger names Adrien Robinson one of the main beneficiaries of Ben McAdoo's hiring as offensive coordinator of the Giants.
"McAdoo coached the Packers tight ends from 2006-2011 and prefers big, athletic players at the position. Robinson fits that mold. He's 6-foot-5, 269 and ran a 4.56 forty at his Pro Day before the 2012 draft. Robinson battled foot and knee injuries this past season. Brandon Myers is an impending free agent. Robinson should be given an opportunity to earn a prominent offensive role."
Hat tip to Pat Traina (@Patricia_Traina) on this one from Charlie Campbell at Walter Football, who is at the East-West Shrine Game this week.
Campbell reports the Giants have met with South Dakota LB Tyler Starr and Eastern Illinois QB Jimmy Garoppolo. He also reports both players are garnering interest. Garoppolo is still raw around the edges and needs to improve on his drops if he is going to be a Day Two pick.
Others players such as: Baas, Myers, Webster and Kiwanuka could also have their contracts voided along with Snee. If that's the case the Giants would have additional $$$ in cap space this offseason.
Robinson's problem has not been a lack of opportunity due to the philosophy of the OC. The Giants too have favored big, athletic players at the TE position (are there even teams that wouldn't prefer that and would like small, unathletic TEs?). Robinson's biggest issue has been his ability to be healthy enough to be on the field or lack there of more accurately. And a new OC won't have any bearing on him being able to remain healthy or make up for the valuable development time missed because of it especially for such a raw player coming out of college.
What happens if Snee retires?
REESE wanted to pay a 32 year old O-Lineman $11.75M ?!?!?!?!?
this was his PLAN !!!!! GROSS DAMAGE !!!!!!
this is what i mean when i said" REESE is Leveraging the Sal-Cal Forward !!!"
$4M in Dead Money, and the BOOK's are still being COOKED !!!
.........ACCOUNTABILITY ....REESE has ZERO !!!
@Peter Sinapi Regardless if Snee decides to retire or not. The Giants will void his contract.
@Skookaloop Pushing all that money to Snee's last season freed up money in season's past. Teams do it all the time. Constantly deferring money to later years of a contract for salary cap relief in the present.
I know you hate Reese, but do a little research before you kill him for doing something every GM in every sport does.

Carbon MonoxideCarbon monoxide (CO) is a by-product of incomplete combustion. Carbon monoxide is known as the "silent killer" because it is colorless, odorless and tasteless; and since the symptoms of exposure are very similar to those of a cold or flu (headache, nausea, fatigue, etc.) carbon monoxide problems may go undetected until it is too late. Answering the following questions may help to differentiate between the flu and CO exposure:
If you have reason to believe that you have been exposed to CO, take it very seriously: get fresh air immediately, see a doctor and have your combustion appliances checked by a professional before returning to the building.
There are two essential ways to protect against possible CO exposure. First, install and maintain CO detectors in your home. Some experts recommend having a detector on each floor of your home and placing them near rooms where people sleep. Second, have all combustion appliances regularly maintained by a professional. In addition, don't idle you car in a garage, don't use a gas oven to heat your home even for a short period, don't use charcoal grills inside, and don't operate gas-powered engines (lawn mower, chain saw, snow blower, etc.) in enclosed spaces.
