Python, C, Mathematica and R all have different strengths for mathematical work / numerical calculations though, and using the best tool for the job is what it's about. As always, what the best tool actually is, is also rather subjective, as which tool will best solve a specific task is always dependent on your skill with the different tools. I do agree with professor though, even though there's quite abit of Python hype (python + scipy/matplotlib is amazing) R is not being replaced anytime soon. It's too good at what it's good at.

Toshiba Corp. (Tokyo, Japan) is poised for major restructuring of its PC operations during its struggle to get out of the red and to be successful as it was when it was the top seller of PC notebooks.
However, analysts say Toshiba's priority should be on shifting resources to areas where it has a clear advantage, such as hard disk drives (HDDs), as a fierce price battle involving Hewlett-Packard and Dell has made profits in the PC market elusive.
Hit by aggressive pricing by the two industry leaders, the Japanese electronics conglomerate cut the earnings outlook for its PC and PC peripherals division twice in 2 months in 2003, raising investor concerns about its competitiveness.
Toshiba, which held top spot in the notebook PC market for 7 consecutive years to 2000, expects the division to post an operating loss of 21 billion yen (approx. U.S. $196 million) for the year to March, a stark contrast with its initial forecast of a 22-billion-yen profit.
As part of its effort to revive the once vibrant division, it plans to turn its PC business into a separate in-house company on Jan.1, 2004 -- a step that industry watchers see as a catalyst for far-reaching restructuring.
"When profits from hard disk drives are stripped away and the real earnings picture emerges, losses at its PC business will be more like 30 to 40 billion yen (rather than 21 billion yen)," said Yoshiharu Izumi, an analyst at J.P. Morgan. "That would leave Toshiba with no choice but to embark on fresh restructuring steps."
To fend off price competition from HP and Dell, Toshiba said in September it aimed to cut its PC-related work force by 500, increase the ratio of outsourcing to 30 percent from 20 percent, standardize parts and lower the number of production platforms. (Reuters)

Rent, buy and watch the latest movies and TV shows online
blinkbox has more of the latest movies and TV shows than our competitors.
No subscription, so you only pay when you rent or buy a movie or TV show, from just 99p.
blinkbox is available on PC/Mac, tablets, consoles, smart TVs, set-top boxes and Blu-ray players.
Inspired by records of the real Anchoress of Shere (near Guildford, Surrey),
who was voluntarily walled up in a tiny cell adjoining a church, Anchoress vividly evokes life in a remote
medieval village and explores the gulf between patriarchal power and female rebellion.
After claiming to be in direct contact with the Virgin Mary, 14-year-old Christine (Natalie Morse) takes the
advice of her local priest (Christopher Eccleston) and becomes an anchoress.
Over the protestations of her parents, she devotes her life to prayer, surviving on charitable food donations
while dispensing advice to pilgrims. Becoming an anchoress was a form of voluntary martyrdom, the sealingup
ceremony having a deliberately funereal feel, as though the subject had already died – which, in a sense,
she had, at least from the outside world's perspective.

Learn to use your camera!
APS can take you beyond just basic snapshots and help you to truly understand your camera and how to use it. Lighting, exposure, and composition are three of the elements that can make or break a photo. Sometimes a ho-hum photo just needed just one of those elements to be a little different to make it a really great image. APS will help you learn these basic elements, plus can help you make the best of whatever camera you own. Sure, an expensive DSLR is always good to have, but even a basic point-and-shoot camera can produce great images …. if you know how to use it!
About APS
APS was started by Certified Professional Photographer, David Anderson. Dave has spent many years learning the craft and has built a great reputation. His work has appeared in publications around the world and clients from far and wide commission him for portraits and commercial assignments. Dave owns one of the only commercial storefront studios in the Annapolis, Maryland area. People constantly ask him questions about cameras and how to take better pictures. Since the need was there, and since he is a seasoned photographer with lots of experience, he decided to do something to help all of these people. Hence, APS was born!
In 2013, Al General, Dave's longtime colleague and friend joined Dave to further develop APS. Al is also a Certified Professional Photographer and has lots of photography training experience and some great ideas to make teaching (and learning!) fun.
APS classes cover all levels of experience, from Beginner to Advanced. Class schedules are being developed now, so if you have an interest take a couple of minutes to review the basic class summaries on the Upcoming Classes page, and then let us know which class and what days and times are best for you on the Contact APS page.

Bronx Bombers
They might not be in the playoffs, but thanks to Primary Stages, the Yankees are still around for a few more weeks.
Ruth. Berra. DiMaggio. Jeter. The New York Yankees has never had a shortage of star players. In this World Premiere from the creative team behind Broadway's Lombardi and the director of the Primary Stages hit String of Pearls, Bronx Bombers examines how baseball's most storied franchise has always remained focused on maintaining a great team, even when dealing with some of the game's most iconic and tempestuous personalities. How do they do it? Well, as Yogi always said, "You can observe a lot by watching."

10 Things You Never Knew About Snoring
Learn why people snore and what really works to stop it
By Rachel Swalin
1. It can complicate a couples relationship.
That recent argument with your spouse could be a result of sleep deprivation from his or your snoring. A poll by the National Sleep Foundation found that more than one-third of respondents felt their partner's sleep disorder caused relationship problems. "Severe snoring markedly disturbs the partner's sleep, causing irritability, anger and depression," says Ann Romaker, MD, Medical Director of the Sleep Disorders Center at Saint Luke's Health System. The first step to better sleep? Talk to the guy keeping you awake at night. Calmly express concern not just for your wellbeing but also his. And if you're the culprit, don't write off your loved one's worries.

A young lady I know who is beyond hear years in wisdom is getting married soon. She recently posted this: "I have come to the conclusion that there are two types of brides: those who want a WEDDING and those who want a MARRIAGE."
I think she is spot on about brides, but the idea she expresses is one most of us will face from time to time. A wedding is a show – especially the way some folks do it. The whole "your day" thing seems a bit odd to me, given that it is supposed to be about two people becoming on, not one person being shown off, hyped, praised, or whatever. Spending money you do not have so you start marriage in debt is another idea I find odd, and harmful to the marriage that follows the wedding. A marriage on the other hand is a lifelong union – the on-going act of the two becoming one. Obviously, we can have both a wedding and a marriage, but some are far too focused on the wedding and not nearly focused enough on the marriage.
Where do we do this in our lives? Where do we make the doorway far more important than is should be while failing to deal properly with what is beyond the doorway? Where is being seen or praised more important than doing what should be done? We can do both, but it is easy for the balance to get shifted.
Another way of looking at this is that we can focus too much on an entry goal when we should be looking at the long-term goal. Getting into law school, for example, is a great goal, but actually graduating is (or should be) the real, long-term goal. If you got accepted then never showed up for class, what good was it to fulfil the goal of being accepted? I think we tend to do this in relationships when we work hard to convince someone we are going to change, and then we do not put any real effort into changing. We buy a bit of good will convincing someone (maybe our wife) we are going to change, but when we fail to actually do it, our situation is worse than when we started.
Are you chasing a wedding or a marriage in your life? Which is more important to you?

FAIRFIELD, Conn. (AP) — Fairfield police say a Bridgeport man is facing charges that he ordered an acquaintance to travel with him to a bank to withdraw money stemming from a debt he was owed.
Alfred M. Capozziello was charged with criminal attempt to commit robbery, unlawful restraint, threatening and breach of peace. He was released on $10,000 bond.

Day 4 is traditionally when the grind of repeated 100 mile plus days begins to tell on the riders. The early enthusiasm is replaced by a stoic determination as the legs remind you that you've ridden hundreds of miles already, but your head reminds you that it isn't even half way yet! However, we were helped out when the forecast heavy rain was conspicuously absent and the camp rose to another glorious morning of sunshine and pink tinged clouds.
The 106 mile route between Ludlow and Haydock racecourses is the flattest of the entire week. This allowed everyone from the fastest to slowest in the field to continue to hone their group riding skills as they pushed on past the Stipperstones and onto the Cheshire plains. Passing canals, harvested fields and beautiful villages the rain seemed to hold clear until the afternoon when the occasional heavy shower gave people a drenching , before the sun would quickly come back out drying them off again quickly.
Two of the heroes of the day were Tim Farr and Sean Rose who both joined us for the day on hand-cycles. Sean had just retired from competing at Paralympic level while Tim was using it as part of his preparation for Sochi 2014 where he hopes to represent ParalympicsGB in the downhill skiing events. Seeing these guys out on the road once again reminded everyone the graft that goes into being a Paralympic athlete. Sean summed it up concisely on crossing the finish line when he pronounced, "Arrrrgh, my tits feel like crisps."
They weren't the only ones joining us last night though. Deloitte Ride Across Britain veteran, British Paralympic Association ambassador and Paralympic legend Sarah Storey and her husband Barney also joined us for the evening briefing. Boasting a higher position in the London 2012 Paralympic Games medal table than Canada, they chatted to everyone about their experiences of the last few weeks and also a bit of insight into how they felt when they were participating inDeloitteRAB previously. Despite there being a lot of tired legs in the crowd the standing ovation echoed across the racecourse.
Day 5: Haydock to Penrith- 106 miles
Riding from Haydock Park to Hutton-in-the-Forest (Penrith), riders will have passed through Wigan and Preston with the scenery becoming more pleasurable with fantastic views across the Fylde coast to Blackpool Tower and inland to the edge of the Pennines. Prior to joining the A6 the Ride travels in a northerly direction just before Keswick. The route then takes in the world famous Shap Climb from the steep side, providing great views of the Lake District prior to a great finish to Hutton-in-the-Forest.
As if that wasn't enough sight seeing for one day our route is also going to be crossing the path of today's Tour of Britain. It seems only right that these two events cross. One showcasing the best British cycling talent there is with Bradley Wiggins and Mark Cavendish leading the charge, and the other one taking riders through the best of British scenery. We do have to point out though that with Sarah and Barney Storey, James Cracknell and Alex Partridge all riding in the Deloitte RAB peloton on Day 5 there is no contest to which one boasts the most Olympic and Paralympic medals!

Houston Mold Removal and Remediation

Unfortunately, many homeowners may need mold removal services and not even realize it; everything from broken pipes to a leaking roof can cause mold to grow in hard to locate places. Frequently missed areas of the home that may require mold removal include:
- The attic due to a leaky roof or vent.

- Carpet padding or sub-flooring due to spills, flooding or oversaturation of carpets when cleaning.
Mold Remediation Can Help Air Quality
Of course, there are many other areas of the home where it's easy to see the need for mold cleanup including kitchen, bathrooms and basements and other areas of high humidity. In fact, many homeowners are surprised to find how easy it is to keep the kitchen and bathrooms clean once they have professional mold removal performed.

Common Sense Media reviews Scott Pilgrim vs The World for kids and families.
Meet charming and jobless Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera). A bass guitarist for garage band Sex Bob-omb, the 22-year-old has just met the girl of his dreams...literally. The only catch to winning Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead)? Her seven evil exes are coming to kill him. Genre-smashing filmmaker Edgar Wright (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) tells the amazing story of one romantic slacker's quest to power up with love in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
Scott Pilgrim has never had a problem getting a girlfriend. It's getting rid of them that proves difficult. From the girl who kicked his heart's ass, and now is back in town, to the teenage distraction he's trying to shake when Ramona rollerblades into his world, love hasn't been easy. He soon discovers, however, his new crush has the most unusual baggage of all: a nefarious league of exes controls her love life and will do whatever it takes to eliminate him as a suitor.
As Scott gets closer to Ramona, he must face an increasingly vicious rogues' gallery from her past from infamous skateboarders to vegan rock stars and fearsomely identical twins. And if he hopes to win his true love, he must vanquish them all before it really is game over.

- Yes, I changed my mind and signed up for Twitter, after pondering somebody else using my name and creating a Fake Jeff Duntemann. (Thanks to Bob Fergert for prompting me to imagine the unimaginable–and I'm a good imaginer.) More on this a little later. I have yet to post anything due to lots of top-priority projects here, but I'll get to it within the week.
- Dietary saturated fat is not related to plasma fatty acids. In other words, it doesn't matter how much saturated fat you eat; your blood levels of fatty acids are controlled by other factors. What other factors? Care to guess? Are you reading this on Contrapositive Diary? Is the Pope from Argentina? Is the atomic weight of ytterbium 173.04? It's the carbs. Wow. Whodathunkit? (Thanks to Jonathan O'Neal, who was the first of several to put me on the scent.)
- There is actually a prize for the worst sex scene in literary fiction. It is not a coveted award, and I guess is seen as a sort of booby prize among literary writers. The WSJ recently posted a brief guide on how to avoid writing such scenes. (I avoid writing really bad sex scenes by not writing sex scenes at all. Works amazingly well.)
- Two people in my circles who don't know one another have independently recommended Ting as a cell carrier. First impression: Sounds too good to be true, and sheesh, they were created by Tucows. (That said, Tucows is no longer what most of us grayhairs remember it being.) Any other opinions? Getting new phones and a new carrier is my next big tech research project.
- I'd also like to hear some early impressions of Lollipop, if anybody's got it or is about to get it.
- Here's something you don't see every day; in fact, I don't think I've seen it even once, ever: A square flat-panel monitor, with a 1920 X 1920 resolution. Assuming these survive their launch (not a sure thing by any means) I'd be sorely tempted. As the story says, "Enough of the ultra wideness already."
- I wasn't sure whether good technical books could be created as reflowable ebooks, but Yury Magda is doing it. He has five self-published Arduino-related titles now, and what I can see in the samples looks damned good. I'm going to buy a couple, less for the Arduino content as for how he does the layout. (Thanks to Jim Strickland for putting me on to this.)
- Gizmodo/Sploid has a very nice short item on the XB-70 Valkyrie, certainly the most beautiful and possibly the second-scariest military aircraft ever built. Do watch the video of how the second prototype crashed–and if you're ever within striking distance of Dayton, don't miss the other Valkyrie at the Air Force museum there. (Thanks to Bruce Baker for the link.)
- Barðarbunga is emitting over twice as much sufur dioxide every day as all of Europe's smokestacks put together, and the volcano is still hard at it. SO2 is well-known to be a powerful cooling factor in the atmosphere. Combine that with a quiet Sun, and nobody really knows what might happen.
- Best video illustration of how tumbler locks work that I've ever seen.
- For that special, short, hairy, ironic someone in your life: You can get a genuine Flying Nun-inspired Weta-made Bofur winter hat, shipped all the way from New Zealand. Not cheap and not sure if it'll arrive before Christmas, but if this winter keeps going like it's going, you'll be all set to face dragons, ice ages, or both.
Odd Lots
Odd Lots
- This overlong, (10,000 word) wandering, muddled, and occasionally brilliant essay is a must-read if you feel (like I do) that tribalism and tribal hatred are the greatest threat facing humanity today. We're precisely one month away from the midterms, and my phone is ringing a dozen times a day with haters demanding that I hate whole groups of people who have little in common with one another beyond their being hated by the callers. Here's a clue, folks: Politics does not give you permission to hate. If you hate, you're a hater…and those of us who don't hate know who the haters are.
- Jim Strickland sends a link to new research on creating organic solar cells based on short vertical nanopillars that look like well-trimmed blades of grass, or a short-pile shag carpet.
- Here's as clear a statement as I've ever seen why not to play with bitcoin, quite apart from the fact that law enforcement probably considers posession of bitcoins ample evidence of criminal activity. No thanks.
- There was 53K of RAM on our planet in 1953. And damned if the computers didn't want 64.
- A case that was a long time brewing may establish additional precedent that DRM is an antitrust violation. Actually, what DRM really does is turn honest customers into pirates.
- Michigan vineyards are having their worst grape harvest ever this year, thanks to last winter's record-breaking cold. That's a shame; Michigan makes some damned fine wines, especially sweet wines, which we drink when we're in Chicago. (I don't see them here in Colorado.)
- Wines, yes: Back in 1973 I had my first can of wine. The other night I had my second. My first thought: The Seventies are returning, egad. My second thought: Hey, that's not bad wine!
- The real reason there will be no Windows 9: Some lazy code jockeys will mistake "Windows 95″ and "Windows 98″ for "Windows 9." This makes sense to me, and if it reduces the universe's bug supply even a little, it's a very, very small price to pay.
- Wow. There are no longer any cartoons on Saturday Morning broadcast TV. Which doesn't mean that the universe is not awash in cartoons, most of them simply hideous.
- Before reading this article, I had never heard of Axe Deodorant. Now, all else being equal, I'd rather smell like nothing. But do I read here that there's an SKU with the scent of…solder? How about Bakelite terminal strips plus capacitor wax?
- Pertinent to the above: The last aftershave I think I ever used regularly was called Nuts & Bolts in, I believe, 1971.
Odd Lots
- Lenin's head is missing. It was last seen rolling around a forest near Berlin 23 years ago, but nobody can find it now, even though it weighs three and a half tons. (Thanks to Pete Albrecht for the link.)
- Evidently Lenin loses his head a lot. Somehow that doesn't surprise me. Shame it didn't happen in 1890 or so.
- How far does $100 go in your state? (Backstory here.) Be careful; the figures are state-wide averages. It's much worse in urban cores. (Thanks to Tony Kyle for the link.)
- If you've never seen one, here's an ad-farm article. I've often wondered if these are machine generated, written by people who don't know English well, or machine-obfuscated copies of legitimate articles, intended to duck news providers' plagiarism bots.
- Wired volcanologist Eric Klemetti reports that a swarm of small earthquakes may presage an eruption from Iceland's Barðarbunga volcano. The volcano is interesting because its name contains the ancient letter eth (ð) something I don't recall seeing on Web news sites in a lot of years. To generate an eth on Windows, by the way, just enter Alt-0240.
- Wired misses as often as it hits. One of its supposed futurists is telling us that the educated elite should be able to license reproduction, and dictate who can and who cannot have babies. By the way, his description of who is unfit to reproduce sounds a lot like the nonwhite urban poor. Articles of this sort are about as wise as "The Case for Killing Granny," which put Newsweek in a world of hurt back in 2009.
- To make you love this guy even more, let me quote a summary of presentation he did on Red Ice Radio: "Zoltan argues that ultimately technology will be helpful to the 'greater good' and must be implemented, even if by force and even if there are causalities along the way. In the second hour, Zoltan philosophizes about technology as evolution and luck as the prime mover of the human experience. He talks about maximizing on the transhumanist value for the evolution of our species. We parallel transhumanism with religious thinking. He'll speak in favor of controversial subjects such as a transhumanist dictatorship, population control, licenses to have children and people needing to justify their existence in front of a committee, much like the Fabian Socialist George Bernard Shaw's idea." If I were a transhumanist, I'd be ripping him several new ones right now. Or is transhumanism really that nasty?
- Nobel laureate physicist Frank Wilczek is not proposing thiotimoline, nor anything else (I think) having to do with time travel. He believes that he's broken the temporal symmetry of nature…which sounds devilish and full of interesting possibilities. As soon as I figure out what the hell it all means, time crystals will land in one of my hard SF concepts in -5 milliseconds.
- Michael Covington reminded us on Facebook that there are a surprising number of plurals with no singular form, including kudos, biceps, suds, and shenanigans. (I do wonder, as does Bill Lindley, if the very last bubble in the sink is a sud.)
- That discussion in turn reminded me of a concept for an END piece in PC Techniques that I took notes on but never wrote: the KUDOS operating system, which lacks error messages but pays you a compliment every time you do anything right. In 1992 I was thinking of purely textual compliments, but these days I imagine a spell-checker that plays "Bravo!" on the speakers every time you spell a word correctly. Wouldn't that be fun?
Odd Lots
- Someone asked me via email the other day: How thick is 16 gauge aluminum? I'm old: My first impulse was to grab my caliper and measure some. My second impulse was to google it. This answers the question, for steel as well as aluminum.
- The page cited above is part of a large and fascinating Web compilation called "How Many?" and it's a dictionary of measurement units. Other tabulations include shot pellet sizes and the Danjon scale for lunar eclipse brightness.
- Metallic cesium figures, um, explosively in my novel Drumlin Circus. You can evidently distill it on your barbecue grill. I'm guessing you shouldn't do that right before a thunderstorm, however. (Thanks to Jim Strickland for the link.)
- Speaking of explosions, here's a map summarzing the legality of fireworks by state. I thought more states restricted them than actually do. (Thanks to Pete Albrecht for the link.)
- It's not brand-new, but I stumbled on the Actobotics product line in the latest edition of Nuts & Volts. It's a very nice Erector/Meccano-ish system with more robust parts & real metal gears. No, not cheap–but neither was Meccano, at least on the scale I used it when I was building things like The Head of R&D.
- If you're interested in following the progress of the recent collapse of sunspot activity, don't forget Solar Ham. More data than SpaceWeather, and you don't to know anything about amateur radio to find it useful. Given that the peak of the current solar cycle was probably this past March, coming down so hard so fast is something of a phenomenon.
- There is a utility that finds loops in videos suitable for making animated GIFs. Sometimes technology advances the human condition and sometimes, well…
- There's something called the Northern Cities Vowel Shift, and if the maps are to be believed, I may be speaking it, though it sounds New Yawkish to me. This is a tweak on Inland North American English. Somebody oughta do an app that can tell me what accent I actually have. I'm a Chicagah boy but have been told I don't sound like one. (Thanks to the Most Rev Sam'l Bassett for the link.)
- Pete Albrecht sends us a list of current and defunct bookstore chains worldwide. I spent so much money at Kroch's & Brentano's 40 years ago that the place should still be around but, alas, it's not.
- If you've secretly longed to see a photo of Alfred Hitchcock eating a giant pretzel, or classic mustard ads of the 1950s, well, it's all here. (Yes, I'm a sucker for vintage weirdness, but this is good vintage weirdness.)
Odd Lots
- A guy is working on 3D printing with molten steel, via TIG welding.
- I'm really good with words. Maybe that's why a college friend said 40-odd years ago: "The trouble with you, Jeff, is that you're too damned happy!" Everything is connected, I guess, and now there's science indicating that human language is biased toward happiness.
- More research on ice ages: They may be made possible by the isolation of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans by the Ithsmus of Panama. (Full paper here.) I've heard this before, but there's more data behind it now.
- Some recently discovered fossilized poop in Spain suggests that I'm not really a Neanderthal after all. Bummer.
- I've always been of two minds about Mensa, for reasons I really can't talk about here. Now there's a Mensa dating site. I think I'm of three minds about that. Maybe five.
- There's an exploitable software flaw in the Curiosity rover, stemming from arcane math in the Lempel-Ziv-Oberhumer compression algorithm. I hope the rover isn't running XP, or (judging by the hype) it would have been totally pnwed since April 10. (Thanks to Pete Albrecht for the link.)
- This guy says he could tornado-proof the Midwest with a couple of 1,000-foot-high walls. Me, I say, implement STORMY. Then stand back.
- Meditation may not always be the unalloyed good that its proponents insist it is. I'm researching this further and will do a full entry on it at some point, as it's a matter of serious interest to me. I have a theory that meditation is only one half of a single effective psychiatric process, and without its other half it can aggravate psychosis and even cause a drift toward schizophrenia.
- Here's a terrific collection of photos of steampunk gear from Dark Roasted Blend. Follow the links to the mechanical calculators page if you haven't seen it before. (It's old, and I linked it from here some years back.)
- DRB publishes periodic "feel good" collections of visual odd lots that are mostly 50s and 60s nostalgia. Here's the latest. Too many actresses, not enough classic cars. But if you like classic actresses, well, wow.
Odd Lots
- I've been gone for two weeks, and the pile is still pretty high. So let's get to work:
- There are now three million Raspberry Pi boards in the world, and counting.
- This chap has designed one into a tablet. Not too surprising, as the original SoC device was created for smartphones.
- Here's Todd Johnson's solar triple thermoacoustic engine. I immediately asked, "What's the physics here?" and Todd, being the consummate physicist, provided the link. Spooky cool.
- From Craig's Lost Chicago: Photos of many extinct Chicago restaurants, some famous, some very obscure. I'm a little surprised that I had been to so few.

Doubt and the Scientific Method
This took me by surprise: Over in that global laboratory of abnormal psychology that most of us call Facebook, a man I've know for almost 35 years grew furious at me. My crime? A longstanding contention of mine that doubt lies at the heart of the scientific method. Note well that we were not talking about Issues. Not evolution, not climate, not even the Paleo Diet. None of that had even come up. No: We were talking about the scientific method itself.
I've seen this weird "doubt undermines science" business come up before, though never directed at me personally. Nonsense, of course. Doubt really does lie at the heart of the scientific method. This is not some opinion of mine that I pulled out of thin air. Hey, if somebody wants to start a new game show called "Are You Smarter Than Karl Popper?" I can recommend the first season's contestants.
Here's my understanding: The scientific method requires a trigger, and that trigger is doubt. Some smart guy or gal looks at something we think we know, often but not always after examining a pile of new data, and says, "This smells fishy. Let's take a closer look and see what we can learn." That initial insight leads to hypothesis, experiment, repeatable results, and eventually (one would hope) new or corrected knowledge. Absent doubt, nobody thinks anything smells fishy, no closer look happens, and whatever booboo might be in there somewhere never comes to light. Without doubt, there is no science.
It's pretty much that simple.
So how do we explain my excoriation for stating the obvious? I have a theory, heh. It involves those idiotic Facebook memes that set religion against science. Some are worse than others; my personal antifavorite is the one that reads, "Religion flies aircraft into buildings. Science flies spacecraft to the Moon." Gosh, was it the Episcopalians? And did engineering maybe have a role? Let it pass; there are plenty more. What they represent is tribal chest-thumping by people who want to replace religion with science. That sounds fishy to me. I probed a little and began to get a suspicion that what the chest-thumpers really want is the certainty of religion under a new name.
What tipped me off is the fact that the chest-thumpers were always talking about scientific knowledge, but never the scientific method. The reason is pretty simple: The scientific method is the single most subversive system of thought that humanity has ever created. Nothing that we know (or think we know) is safe from the scientific method. Not even physical laws. Back in the 1950s there was a physical law called the Law of Parity, holding that nature does not differentiate left from right at the subtomic level. Some physicists thought the Law of Parity smelled fishy. They put their heads together, came up with some truly brilliant experiments, and snick! They nailed the Law of Parity through an eye socket. They nailed it because they doubted it. And we're not talking the Paleo Diet here. We're talking a law of physics.
That scares people with a strong craving for certainty. At this point we need to talk a little bit about the religious impulse. Note well that I am not talking about religion itself here. I'm talking about the primal hunger for certain things that religion provides. The two biggies are meaning and certainty. (Belonging is a third biggie, but I feel that religion inherits the hunger for belonging from its primal sibling, the tribal impulse. I'll have to take that up another time.) As anyone who's read Viktor Frankl has learned, "meaning" is an important but slippery business. I've thought about it a lot, and it looks to me like the meaning we see in our lives grows out of order. There is huge comfort in living lives that follow a predictable template. We all imagine lives lived reliably in a certain way. We do not imagine chaotic lives, and generally avoid chaos when we can. (We may grumble about the template we're currently living, but what we want is a better template, not chaos.) When chaos strikes, our lives can quickly move from meaningful to meaningless. A need for certainty follows from the need for order. We want to be certain that we've chosen a path that leads toward meaning. As often as not, this means choosing templates that work for us and embracing them without doubt. Some people take this too far, and become reactionaries or fanatics who insist that the templates they've discovered are the only ones that anyone should embrace. Alas, this is where the religious impulse gets tangled up in the tribal impulse, which, unimpeded by laws or cultural norms, gallops straight toward genocide.
Religion satisfies the religious impulse by providing us with wisdom narratives that suggest life templates, calendars of rituals and festivals that repeat down the years and reinforce a sense of the orderly passing of time, and saints as heroes whose very meaningful lives may be emulated. (I hope my religious friends will relax a little here and look closely at what I'm saying: I am not denying that God is behind religion. I'm suggesting the mechanisms by which God gets our attention and calls us home.)
What's happening in our secular era is that religion is becoming less prevalent and (in our own culture, at least) less strident. People who feel the religious impulse strongly need to get their meaning (via order) and certainty somewhere else. Science is handy. Science makes for bad religion, however, because it creates its own heretics and subverts its own wisdom narratives. It creates disorder via doubt, in the cause of creating new order that more accurately reflects physical reality. Certainty in science is always tentative: What the scientific method gives, the scientific method can take away.
This makes people of certain psychologies batshit nuts.
I'll leave it there for now. I'm something of an anomaly, in that my need for order doesn't march in lockstep with any need for certainty. I'm an empiricist. I've created an orderly and meaningful life that works for me, but when circumstances require change, I grit my teeth and embrace the change. Incremental change is one way to avoid chaos, after all: Deal with it a little at a time, and you won't have to deal with an earthquake later on.
In a sense, I live my life by the scientific method. Sometimes I doubt that that what I'm doing is the right thing for me. I stop, think about it, and often discover a better way. Doubt keeps pointing me in the right direction, as it does for science. Certainty, well…that points in the opposite direction, toward brittleness and chaos. Science doesn't go there. None of us should either.

- Our new concrete gets its sealer coat tomorrow, and once it dries it'll be (finally!) done. I'll post a photo. So far we think it's gorgeous.
- This article has been shared again and again and again on Facebook, and it caught my attention because it echoes something I wrote about in 2009: That because our stuff is lasting longer, we need less stuff, be it forks or cars. And the cars are piling up…or are they? Alas, the article is nonsense (it did smell a little funny to me) and here's the point-by-point takedown.
- Here's the best detailed article on bacteriophage therapy I've seen in quite awhile. It's a hard read, but a good one. Sooner or later, as antibiotics fail us one by one, we're going to have to go this way. (Phages look very cool, as well.)
- The scientific method wins again: We thought we knew the physics behind same-material static electricity. We were wrong. Doubt really does lie at the very heart of science, in that if we don't doubt what we think we know, we have no chance of finding our mistakes.
- Now that eggs aren't evil anymore, it's worth exploring all the various ways to prepare them. If you like hard-boiled eggs, here's the best explanation I've seen of how to boil them so that they'll peel easily and without divots.
- Adobe's Creative Cloud was down for some time. The issue's been resolved, but it just confirms my ancient suspicion that putting everything on the cloud is a really bad idea. If I can't access my software, I can't work. Pretty much end of story.
- Blue light keeps you awake. Staying awake shortens your life. So as the day winds down, Turn the Damned Thing Off. Then read a book until you're sleepy. I recommend any substantial history book, with a special nod to histories of the Byzantine Empire. (Thanks to Dermot Dobson for the link.)

- The forms are in place. The new roadbase fill has been leveled and compacted, and the rebar laid. Concrete should be here in less than an hour. Damn, we're ready.
- Here's a concise (and hilarious) summary of everything wrong with science journalism, which is (alas) pretty much everything.
- If the human mind can't be modeled, it can't be emulated. Which makes me wonder what sort of non-human intelligence we may be able to create computationlly, and whether we'd recognize it as intelligence if we did.
- One of my very favorite scientists, the Vatican Observatory's Dr. Guy Consolmagno, said four years ago that if aliens come to Earth and ask to be baptised, the Church would be happy to do it–but only if they asked. There are theological questions here: Would all aliens be subject to original sin? Would each world have its own Incarnation? James Blish explored this a little (if in a rather 50s way) in A Case of Conscience . Now Pope Francis has apparently reiterated it on the Vatican news site.
- Students remember lectures better when they take notes in longhand. I've noticed this effect myself, and it's real. The article suggests that writing notes longhand requires you to process information before writing it down, but that's true of keyboarding as well. I admit I don't take a lot of longhand notes anymore, but it's also true that keyboarding and presenting aloud seem to use entirely separate parts of my mind. (I tried to write a story once by dictating into Dragon Naturally Speaking…and it just didn't work.)
- In crafting parody, I've run afoul of Poe's Law more than once. Far too many people are so dumb they can't detect hit-you-with-a-shovel sarcasm when they see it. (Thanks to Jim Mischel for the link.)

- Coffee is good for eye health. Isn't it?
- Wine is a lot more complicated than you probably thought, and a whole lot less romantic. Nay, it's industrial, almost…urban.
- And still more reasons to view so-called studies with extreme caution. If you want to pass off an agenda or some sort of ideological/political/hate campaign, the best way to do it these days is hang a sign on it that says, "Trust me! I'm Science!" (Thanks to Damon Smithwick for the link.)

This entry will be a hodgepodge, or as they say in some circles, a "hotch potch." (I think it's a Britishism; Colin Wilson used that spelling many times.) Stuff has been piling up in the Contra file. Carol and I have been slighting housework for these past six months, she laid up after surgery on both feet, and me writing what has doubtless been the most difficult half-a-book I've ever written. We've been cleaning up, putting away, and generally getting back to real life. Real life never tasted so delicious.
One reason is rum horchata. I'm not one for hard liquor, mostly, and generally drink wine. (Beer tastes far too bitter to me.) But Rumchata got me in a second. It's a dessert cordial no stronger than wine, with the result that you can actually taste the other ingredients, like vanilla, cream, and cinnamon. Highly recommended.
People ask me periodically what I've been reading. After soaking my behind in computer science for the past six or eight months, I've been studiously avoiding technology books. That said, I do endorse Degunking Windows 7 by my former co-author Joli Ballew. I actually used it to learn some of the Win7 details that weren't obvious from beating my head on the OS. I wish it were a Coriolis book, but alas, it's not. That doesn't mean it's not terrific.
True to my random inborn curiosity about everything except sports and opera, I've developed an interest in the chalk figures of southern England. The next time we get over there (soon, I hope, though probably not until summer 2015) we're going to catch the Long Man of Wilmington, the White Horse of Uffington, and that very well hung (40 feet!) Cerne Giant. Other chalk figures exist, many of them horses. Some can be seen from Google Earth. A reasonable and cheap intro is Lost Gods of Albion by Paul Newman. The book's been remaindered, and you can get a new hardcover for $3. I wouldn't pay full price for it, but it was worth the hour and change it took to read. My primary complaint? It needs more pictures of chalk figures, duhh.
Quick aside: While researching kite aerial photography with my found-in-the-bushes GoPro Hero2 sports camera, I came upon an impressive video of the White Horse of Westbury taken from a double bow kite (rokkaku). I have the cam, and loads of kites. All I need now is a chalk figure. (I suspect I could coerce my nieces into drawing one for me.)
Far more interesting than Lost Gods of Albion was Gogmagog by Thomas Lethbridge. I lucked into a copy of the 1957 hardcover fairly cheap, but availability is spotty and you may have to do some sniffing around. If you're willing to believe him, Lethbridge did an interesting thing back in the 1950s: He took a 19th century report that a chalk giant existed on a hillside in Wandlebury (near Cambridge) and went looking for it. His technique was dogged but straightforward: For months on end, he wandered around the hillside with a half-inch metal bar ground to a point, shoving it into the ground and recording how far it went in before it struck hard chalk. His reasoning was that the outlines of a chalk figure would be dug into the chalk, and thus farther down than undisturbed chalk. In time he had literally tens of thousands of data points, and used them to assemble a startling image of two gods, a goddess, a chariot, and a peculiar horse of the same sort as the Uffington White Horse.
Not everybody was convinced. Even though Lethbridge was a trained archaeologist, his critics claimed that he was a victim of pareidolia, and simply seeing the patterns he wanted to see in his thousands of hillside holes. The real problem was that Lethbridge was a pendulum dowser, and a vocal one: He published several books on the subject, which make a lot of claims that aren't easily corroborated. Lethbridge claims that most people can dowse, and hey, it's an experiment that I could make, if I decided it was worth the time. (It probably isn't.)
The third book in my recent readings is The Physical Phenomena of Mysticism by Herbert Thurston, a Jesuit priest who spent a good part of his life collecting reports of peculiarly Catholic weirdnesses (stigmata, levitation, inedia, odor of sanctity, etc.) and presenting them in a manner similar to that of Charles Fort, if better written. Most of the articles were originally published in obscure theology journals, but were collected in 1952 in a volume that I've never seen for less than $100. Last year it was finally reprinted by White Crow Books and can be had for $18. I'm not sure what one can say about reports of people who have not eaten for forty years. Mysticism is a weird business, but physics is physics. The book is entertaining, and it's given me some ideas for stories, particularly since I have a spiritually butt-kicking psychic little old Polish lady as a major chartacter in Old Catholics. (Vampires are just so 2007.)
If three books doesn't seem like much, consider my habit of going back to books I've read and liked, and flipping through them to see what notations I've made in the margins. We all make them; when was the last time you deliberately went back to read and reconsider them? I've been dipping into Gary Taubes' Good Calories, Bad Calories, Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature, Colin Wilson's A Criminal History of Mankind, and Matt Ridley's The Rational Optimist, and arguing with my own marginal notes. One can learn things arguing with oneself, and I've been known to change my mind based on things I scribbled in other people's book's ten or twelve years ago. (Before that I was too young to have anything like informed opinions.)
For example, I've gone back to calling it "global warming." Climate is always changing, and the assumption that we know all the forces propelling those changes is just wrong–and in tribalist hands, willfully dishonest. Carbon dioxide has exactly one climate trick in its bag: It warms the atmosphere. That's it. If the discussion is about carbon dioxide, it's about global warming. Why climate changes is still so poorly understood (and so polluted by political hatred) that we may be decades before we even know what the major forcings are. In the meantime, I want predictions. If your model gives you climate data out fifty years, it will give you data out five. Publish those predictions. And if they prove wrong, be one of those people who really do #*%^*ing love science and admit it. Being wrong is how science works. Being political is how science dies.
I have a long-delayed electronics project back on the bench: Lee Hart's CDP1802 Membership Card. I started it last summer, and set it aside when the Raspberry Pi gig turned up. It's basically a COSMAC Elf in an Altoids tin. I had an Elf almost forty years ago. I programmed it in binary because that's all there was in 1976. And y'know? I can still do it: F8 FF A2. F8 47 A5…
Some things really are eternal.

I believe that a software firewall is a great addition to an already existent hardware firewall in a router.A software firewall will allow you to easily monitor any outgoing connections.Programs trying to connect to the Internet will be shown to you by a software firewall and you can either allow or deny access to the Internet.You will also be able to shut down any malware that may be on your system and trying to call home quite easily with a software firewall.A hardware firewall is great for incoming connections, but a software firewall is a necessity for outgoing connections and allows you to have full control of your system.

EU policy
The EU ENERGY STAR Programme follows an Agreement between the USA Government and the European Union on the co-ordination of voluntary energy labelling of office equipment, approved by the EU Council in April 2003. The management entity for ENERGY STAR is the European Commission, Directorate General for Energy (DG ENERGY), advised by the Member States and stakeholders' experts in the European Community ENERGY STAR Board (ECESB). The Work Plan of the Commission gives an overview of the scope and planning of work with the ECESB. Current topics include the Development of specifications for monitors and imaging equipment with US EPA (see PDF downloads in right column). Activities to promote the EU ENERGY STAR, such as this website, are part of SAVE, which is now part of the Intelligent Energy - Europe (IEE) programme.
EU legislation that is potentially relevant for the energy efficiency of office equipment includes:
- a possible extension of the 92/75 Directive (mandatory labelling of home appliances),
- the EUP Directive (draft directive, concerning ecodesign of Energy Using Products),
- the framework directive on Performance of Buildings (approved 2002).
- the Energy Services directive.
The relevant policy objectives for these (and other) measures are:
- diminishing the EU's dependence on imported energy (keyword Security of Supply), and
- the abatement of Green House Gas emissions (notably CO2) to reach Kyoto targets.
The European Commission's efforts in the framework of Kyoto are co-ordinated within the European Climate Change Programme (ECCP). Links to initiatives in individual countries or groups of countries, related to energy efficient office equipment, can be found here.
Some EU policies and measures relating to all environmental aspects of office equipment, with no special emphasis on energy, are:
- Ecolabel (voluntary EU environmental label, e.g. for Desktop PC and Notebook).
- WEEE (directive on Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment), RoHS (Restrictions on use of Hazardous Substances).
- EMAS (voluntary Environmental Monitoring and Auditing Scheme, EMAS companies show a special commitment to environmental policy and could extend this by becoming ENERGY STAR partners; compare ISO 14000, compare also the EU commitment to Corporate Governance).
- IPP (Integrated Product Policy, White Paper).
An example of EU policy in the field of promoting the use of IT equipment is the eEurope 2005 programme, targeted at E-Learning, E-Finance, E-Health and E-Commerce.
Voluntary actions for the office sector in the IEE programme are the Green Light programme and the Code of Conduct on External Power Supplies.

Former members of David Crowder*Band currently comprise a new project called The Digital Age. The guys debuted a few new "rehearsal" videos yesterday, along with this announcement... "When we returned to our hometown of Waco, TX after the final DC*B show at Passion 2012, we immediately began construction on our new studio, Asterisk Sound. Little did we know that converting a dirty, sweaty gym into a classy recording studio would be such an undertaking. Between ripping out ceiling tiles and building walls, we discussed how we weren�t cut out to be construction workers and how much we were ready to start playing music again. As soon as the main tracking room was completed, we moved in all our gear and started making noise. While we were rehearsing, we began getting emails and tweets from people wondering what we sound like, so we decided to document the process. We�ll start posting these �rehearsals� regularly. Enjoy!"

It was a busy election year in Albany, as both parties wrangled over new district lines created because of new census data, and Republicans in the Senate somehow managed to retain power despite losing their majority. Governor Andrew Cuomo, meanwhile, got tough with unions as he pushed for legalized gambling. NY1's Zack Fink filed the following report.
Governor Andrew Cuomo outlined a slightly less ambitious agenda for 2012 than he did in his freshman year as governor. He called for a new form of teacher evaluations, legalized gambling and a less generous pension system for new state workers. When his budget was approved in a marathon overnight session by the legislature in March, the governor was pleased. "This budget is a very good and strong budget," Cuomo said. "As a matter of fact, it's more than just a budget. When I outlined the budget, I said this was more of a reform plan than a budget."
The teacher evaluations mostly got done, although not yet in New York City. Gambling took the first step toward legalization, and the new pension tier was approved. However, Cuomo made another bold proposal, for a $4 billion convention center in Queens, that did not pan out.
The same week the governor outlined his agenda in his State of the State address, Senate Republicans were working to add a 63rd Senate seat.
Republicans got their way, and new legislative redistricting lines were approved more or less how Republicans wanted in the Senate and how Democrats wanted in the Assembly.
Democrats in the lower house wound up winning the second-highest number of seats for any party in State Assembly history. Republicans, however, lost their majority, but formed a coalition government with five breakaway Democrats to stay in power. "The way I envision it working is that you have a Independent Democratic Conference leader, a Democratic leader as well as a Republican leader, and then the coalition government can be formed," said State Senator Jeff Klein. A coalition government is precisely what people will be watching when the Senate reconvenes next month. Already, there are tensions between Democrats and Republicans over new gun control measures favored by Cuomo in reaction to the Newtown, Connecticut shootings. Will the breakaway Democrats be able to work with the Republicans, and how will that affect Cuomo's agenda? It all remains to be seen in the new year.

Newbie using raw foods to fight ED
Hi there!
I'm Morgan. I'm 25, new to Gone Raw. I've been struggling with bulimia since I was 15, and I recently decided to fully commit to a healthy lifestyle, once and for all. I'm using Natalia Rose's detox 4 women book right now, and so far so good. :) Eating half a bar of dark chocolate a day definitely eases the transition.
Can't wait to meet and connect with other raw foodists!
Maui Raw Community
I am not new to Raw, but I am new to Maui! I live here with my son and sister and we are looking to build a raw community, we started a group on meetup.com and I am just curious if there is anyone on here from Maui who would like to join our group as a way to support encourage and enjoy the raw food lifestyle! I love the vibrance, clarity and peace that has become apart of my life since discovering a cleaner way of eating, I want to share my experiences, my recipes and thoughts with other like-minded people! Check out the group at:
trying raw again but need help.
Hey everyone, I'm Shanice from Manchester UK. I'm trying to kick off into raw foods with a green smoothie and juice fast. I got on my scales last week and saw a number I did not like, I've always been overweight so didn't really see what was wrong with it until I put on 2 stones extra with the help of my birth control implant, the extra lbs have given me bad knees to the point where I cant walk too far and I'm only 21. That's when I realised that I need to try raw foods again I want to spend the rest of my life as a healthy person. Last time I failed because I thought I could do it all alone but I just can't which is why I'm here to make friends and have a support network.
sorry for rambling on lol
For all your hair extensions needs in UK!
Howdy!Check this out:
New to the raw vegan world
Hello! My name is Faryn and I am new to raw. I started this lifestyle spontaneously 3 weeks ago. I have lost 17# and I feel so much better than when I was on the SAD diet. I just posted a recipe for avocado salsa, I hope you guys will try it out and enjoy it like i enjoy it.
My boyfriend of 7 years and I were huge Foodies. BBQ's all the time and our whole relationship was smothered in our love for food. My boyfriend has supported my lifestyle change and he has joined me as well. I have also started writing a blog about going from the SAD diet to the raw vegan lifestyle. I hope you guys (especially starters) can find some inspiration and humor as I go along on my journey. I am looking for some connections and support. The first blog is called "My brutal breakup with butter". and it only goes on from there.
See you guys around
