The U. S. Department of Veterans Affairs is preparing to issue new rules that will streamline the process whereby veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder can apply for and receive disability benefits and services. The new rules would affect veterans who served in the Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam conflicts and are scheduled to take effect immediately.
To learn more about the rules changes, visit www.va.gov in the coming days and watch for the PTSD benefits and services announcement.
The environmental impact of the BP oil spill is in the news every day. Scenes and stories about the destruction of wildlife and the economic aftershocks are everywhere. Now, another story is emerging—the damaging psychological consequences for Gulf coast residents.
The effects of the devastation of the past 2 months was the subject of a recent Huffington Post story. Community agencies like Catholic Charities of New Orleans are sounding off about the mental health impact of the oil spill on the citizens, especially those who do not have the financial means or time to seek counseling. This new stress is taking its toll on a population that has endured hurricanes Wilma, Rita, Katrina, and Ivan in a 6-year span.
The mental health impact on the disaster victims, their families and the community was accentuated by a Washington Post story in late June reporting the apparent suicide death of a fishing captain affected by the spill—a man who had volunteered to work in the BP cleanup effort.

President Obama signed an executive order on June 10, 2010 that creates a federal council to address national priorities on health promotion and disease prevention. The Council was authorized under the new health reform law and will focus on lifestyle behavior modification (including smoking cessation, proper nutrition, appropriate exercise, behavioral health, substance-use disorder, and domestic violence screenings) and prevention measures for the five leading disease killers in the U.S.
White House Press Release...
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) has issued Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) 51, Substance Abuse Treatment: Addressing the Specific Needs of Women, to help professionals provide effective, up-to-date treatment to women with substance use disorders by taking into account their unique treatment needs.
The information in TIP 51 is based on women's experiences as well as best or promising practices and research-based approaches. This eight-chapter TIP presents treatment approaches for women that consider a woman's social and economic environments; her relationships with family members, significant others, and support systems; and the impact of gender and culture on treatment.
SAMHSA Tip 51...
ACA represented the counseling profession at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) behavioral health workforce meeting on April 23. SAMHSA is the lead Federal agency focusing on mental health and substance abuse counseling in the U. S.
Convened and chaired by Pamela S. Hyde, SAMHSA Administrator, the purpose of the meeting was to solicit feedback from "a select group of national organizations representing the behavioral health professional guilds and other workforce development stakeholder groups" in order to help shape SAMHSA's behavioral health workforce strategic initiative. The meeting focused on presentations and dialogue around the following questions:
ACA's feedback focused on advocating for the use of professional counselors in the behavioral health workforce on par with other mental health professions. ACA also advocated for increased use of qualitative studies in the use of evidence based outcome protocols because a qualitative approach often provides the best data for the types of clients served by professional counselors. David Kaplan, ACA Chief Professional Officer, represented the membership.
It is the largest, annual professional development gathering of the full professional counseling community. It is the greatest opportunity for professional counselors to network and interface with their counterparts from around the globe. It is the 2011 ACA Conference & Exposition, March 23-27, 2011 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Whether an experienced conference participant or a prospective "first timer," don't miss out on the discounted registration rates that are in effect until August 31. Act today!

The Health Day website reports that new military research indicates that up to 14% of soldiers returning from Iraq suffer Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) or depression that is severe enough to disrupt their daily lives. Between 8.5% and 14% of soldiers reported mental health issues that caused difficulties in work or private life, according to the report published in the Archives of General Psychiatry. Researchers speculate that men and women in the National Guard experience stress in going back to their work and lifestyle routines, but have less access to military health care and tend to rely on community and private resources. Regular Army soldiers, it was noted, also may suppress symptoms because they know they will be rotated back to combat duty.

U.S. troops were hospitalized for mental health conditions more than any other reason during 2009, according to data in the Pentagon's Medical Surveillance Monthly Report. A historic high, it marks the first time that hospitalizations for these conditions were higher than those for injuries or pregnancies in the 15 years it has been tracked by the report. According to the report, mental health care accounted for almost 40% of all days spent in hospitals by service members last year.

Based on contemporary understanding of the nature of personal and interpersonal loss and the ways in which people integrate loss and grief into their lives, Counseling Strategies for Loss and Grief focuses on tailoring effective interventions to the uniqueness of the griever's experience. In Part 1, author Dr. Keren H. Humphrey discusses a variety of death- and non-death-related loss and grief experiences, offers conceptualization guidelines, outlines selected psychosocial factors, and describes intervention based on two contemporary grief models.
Part 2 provides detailed therapeutic strategies organized according to focus or theoretical origins along with suggestions for implementation and customization to client uniqueness. Specific chapters include cognitive–behavioral and constructivist strategies, emotion-focused strategies, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, and adjunctive activities. The final chapter focuses on counselor roles and recommended professional and personal practices.

The Collaborative Initiative to Help End Chronic Homelessness (CICH) is a coordinated effort of the U.S. Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Veterans Affairs (VA), and the Interagency Council on Homelessness. As part of its mission to reduce the impact of substance abuse and mental illness on America's communities, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recently contributed to two articles in the Journal of Behavioral Health Services and Research supporting the CICH housing and homelessness initiative.

The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has issued an alert to caregivers and the public suggesting ways to combat con artists who may try to sell insurance that is not legitimate. Included in the alert is the National Association of Insurance Commissioners reminder that the requirement to have health insurance does not take effect until 2014.
AARP states that no government official sells insurance and there is no limited enrollment period in existence. They suggest that individuals check the insurance license of the person approaching them and also check on the financial strength of the insurance company. Information on the health insurance plan offered through the ACA Insurance Trust is outlined at the link below.

Well, that's not right. :-) If you have the service turned on and you're not getting notifications at all, there may be something going wrong in the background. If you want, try this:
1. Download http://fognl.com/android-apps/com.xtralogic.android.logcollector.apk to install Log Collector on your phone.
2. Run Greed for about 5 minutes with the settings you specified.
3. Start Log Collector, and collect the logs.
4. E-mail the logs to me.
I should be able to tell what's going on with your notifications, and get a fix into place.
Kelly -
Good to know that you're at least getting some notifications.
As to the accuracy of the unread counts, I've noticed that sometimes Google Reader (web) updates its counts less accurately than Greed does. For example, I can read all of the articles in a given feed leaving 0 unread, but the feed will still show (e.g.) 8 unread in Google Reader.
Greed operates in a similar way, and doesn't strictly update the unread counts every time an article is read. (To do so would mean it would have to query for unread counts every time it marks an item read, etc.)
When the feed-notification service runs, it retrieves the unread counts from Google Reader so it can use them to determine which feeds have new items. So at the point where that happens, the counts are accurate. Whenever you read an item, Greed updates the unread counts locally without making extra calls to Google Reader. The idea here is to be faster and economical with the requests it's making to Google Reader. The next time the notification service runs, it updates the counts from Google Reader.
So there is some potential for inaccuracy, but it should at least err on the side of getting the most recent updates. I'll take a look at that.

John Gittings
After teaching at the University of Westminster I worked at The Guardian (UK) for twenty years as assistant foreign editor and chief foreign leader-writer (1983-2003). With my wife and constant partner for over 50 years, Aelfthryth Gittings (who died in December 2012), we brought up four sons and travelled widely in South America, Asia and Europe. In 2001-03 we set up The Guardian's first staff office on the Chinese mainland, in Shanghai. Afterwards we moved to Shipton under Wychwood in Oxfordshire, becoming active in local historical research, CND, and the Labour Party. Having specialised for many years on China and East Asia, I am now working on the history of peace thought, and published a book on this subject in 2012 (see below). I am a Research Associate at the China Institute, School of Oriental & African Studies, London University, and an Associate Editor of the Oxford International Encyclopaedia of Peace.New articles:

Improving Dogs' Health With Alkaline Water
In my neverending quest to achieve optimal health for my dogs, I've learned a lot about nutrition and supplementation- and that information has helped me to improvemy own health.
By eating the same foods, spices, and supplements I give my dogs, I've had great luck minimizing thedigestive difficultiesthat have plagued meforyears. From coconut oil to milk thistle, turmeric to acidophilus, everything I've incorporated into my own regimen - everything I swear by - in recent yearsbegan as an experiment with my dogs. And we're all feeling healthier than ever before.
Because drinking sufficient water is vital to gastrointestinal health, in pets and people, lately I began wondering aboutthe watermy dogs and I drink. Sadly, the tap water in our home city, New York, contains fluoride, a known neurotoxin. So drinking straight from the tap is not an option for us; the water must be filtered. But because most water filters use chemicals, they're questionable too.
The high-profile health gurus recommend drinking spring water - but since we haven't got a natural source near us, our spring water comes in plastic bottles,frowned on byhealth nuts and environmental advocates. Confounding matters, many brands of bottled water aren't spring water at all - they'remerely filtered tap water (and some aren't even filtered).
Staying hydrated is an essential part of staying healthy, for humans as well as hounds. You're supposed to drink half your body weight in ounces, every single day. But if drinking the most available types of water could actually harm my dogs' health - then what? Would we have to choose between slow death from dehydration, or death by downing a daily dose of polluted water?
Happily, Irecently discovered alkaline water, which is billed as "nature's best antioxidant." It's oxygen-rich and up to six times more hydrating than conventional water because it contains a higher concentration of water molecules. Squeezing fresh lemon juice into a glass of water will alkalinize it - but it won't remove the harmful pollutants coursing through the tap. And while lemony water is fine for people, dogs don't like the taste. The only way to have safe, palatablealkaline water is withan ionizer-filter.
Researching the options, it turns out that the best brand is Tyent. The 7070 modelcontainselectrode plates made of platinum and titanium. As water passes through these plates, it becomes ionized.The result isantioxidant alkaline water.
Dog owners who give their dogs Tyent water report adramatic improvement in their animals' overall well-being. Sharon McIntosh of California says, "I had been fighting what seemed to be a losing battle with allergies and arthritis affecting my German Shepherd, Maggie. I spent many hours and hundreds of dollars at the veterinarian's office trying to find a cure for her. I began searching for a natural cure for Maggie's health problems."
I could relate to Sharon's experience - and what she said next sold me on alkaline water: "I overheard someone at work saying they were cured of a skin problem by using alkaline water," she recalls, "so I purchased a Tyent. Well, the rest is history. Maggie is now allergy-free. Prior to giving her the alkaline water she had a very hard time getting up - at times I had to assist her - and now she's able to get up and down without assistance. I've also been drinking the Tyent water for over a year now, and have noticed how much better I feel; I have fewer illnesses and my joints feel great."
Alkaline wateralso has thislovely fringe benefit: Dogs' droppings are less odorous when they drink it! Lisa Boccuti of New Jersey gives alkaline water to her Pomeranian, Dunkin, and also waters her garden with the stuff. Check out this photo of Dunkin - it's hard to tell which looks more vibrant: the pet or the plantings!
This contraption doesn't come cheap: the lowest-price 7070 model is $1,995. But considering how many thousandsI've spilled over the years on veterinary care for my dogs, I consider this a preventive, cost-saving measure. So I'm saving up for a Tyent.
Do you have experience with using alkaline water for your dogs and yourself? Please tell us about it in the comments.

Bryant was my guy who I hoped would really step up and show potential last year. I still hope he can do it but then again I really liked Taye Biddle and we all see how that worked out. I don't seem to do any better than the Panthers in liking guys who don't pan out.
I never saw any explosiveness in his step. Cant teach that. He's big and he's kind of fast but he seems like more of a strider. Good concentration on the ball in the air is what I remember out of the litte we got to see though.

London-based The Lawyer magazine reports that easy-magnate Stelios Haji-Ioannou , owner of easyGroup and cut-price airline easyJet, has started a legal battle with veteran broadcaster and TV celebrity Noel Edmonds. Edmonds wants to use the strapline "easymeetings" to promote his videoconferencing company face2face and has applied to register EASYMEETINGS as a trade mark, but Stelios is opposing the application. Stelios doesn't own either 'easy' or 'easymeetings' as trade marks. But, says Bird & Bird IP partner Morag MacDonald, he could still oppose Edmonds' application to register EASYMEETINGS.
Why have Stelios and Edmonds fallen out so spectacularly over the 'easy' name? Edmonds initially developed a videoconferencing business plan with a view to getting Stelios involved. But, following a meeting between the two, Stelios declined. Edmonds wants to retain the 'easymeetings' name in anticipation of easyGroup setting up a rival business using that name.
Edmonds alleges the easyGroup founder also suggested at the meeting that he was interested in starting a similar company on his own: "The meeting with Stelios lasted less than half an hour and none of us really got a word in. Stelios thought it was such a good idea that he might do it without us". John Rothnie, easyGroup head of corporate communications, agreed that easyGroup might want to develop a videoconferencing business of its own. Says Rothnie: "He [Edmonds] came and saw us and asked if they could borrow our brand. Our reaction was, 'Why are you doing this? This is something we could set up anyway'". Neither side has yet instructed law firms, though Edmonds is reported as having Olswang waiting in the wings.

Late July in photos: Albuquerque & Jemez travels
My late July ten-day trip to Albuquerque and the Jemez Valley in order to go on an advanced retreat was fantastic. I could add thousands of words, but I'll let these photos speak for themselves.

A girl and her brother, who were under the care of their relatives after their parents died in an accident, have run away from their home in Saidapet.
According to the police, the siblings — Deepika (13) and Veeramani (11) — are the oldest and youngest of the three children of Sakthivel, a resident of Saidapet. A few years ago, he and his wife died in an accident, following which the two along with their brother Nagaraj (12) were taken under the care of their mother's sister Parvathy and her husband Murugan. They were living in the couple's house on Tirurvalluvar Street, Saidapet.
Deepika and Veeramani were very close to each other, the police said.
"Murugan was strict in their upbringing and we suspect that Deepika might have not liked it. They must have missed their parents a lot," said sub-inspector Bagyaraj, attached to the Kumaran Nagar police who are investigating the case.
On September 25, Parvathy and her husband left for work and the children were alone at home. "Deepika and Veeramani were planning to run away but their brother sniffed out their plan. When he asked Deepika about it, she gave him a rupee and asked him to go to a shop and buy chewing gum," said Mr. Bagyaraj.
When Nagaraj left for a nearby shop, Deepika and Veeramani slipped out of the house. "When Parvathy returned from work, she found the two children missing and Nagaraj told her what had happened," said Mr. Bagyaraj.
She and her husband visited the houses of all their relatives and friends, but could not trace the children. Parvathy then lodged a complaint with the Kumaran Nagar police on September 27.
"During the course of investigation, we found a number written down on a piece of paper at the couple's house and we suspected it might have been a contact number noted down by Deepika. But it turned out to be a DVD rental shop's number that was noted by Deepika when Parvathy was not at home," said the police officer.
The police have sent the children's pictures to all the police stations.
"We will be circulating it at all the bus termini and railway stations too," said Bagyaraj. The police have requested that any member of the public who finds the children contact the Kumaran Nagar police station at 23452629.
The two children, along with another brother, were in the care of relatives after their parents died in an accident a few years ago

Chief Of Staff For Idaho State Senator, Visits The Magic Valley
Jerome, Idaho ( KMVT-TV / KTWT-TV ) Former state Senator John Sandy and now Chief of Staff for Senator Jim Risch, spoke in the Magic Valley on Friday.
Long time Magic Valley resident John Sandy made a visit to Jerome. "I'm from Hagerman and love coming down here to the magic valley area" said Chief of Staff John Sandy, Senator Jim Risch's office. Sandy met with locals to discuss hot topic issues, from the sequester to exports in the gem state. "There are so many things going on both nationally, locally, and internationally that affect not only exports from Idaho." Sandy says, he got into politics for the people. "I love working for the people of Idaho, I love helping the Magic Valley. As Senator Risch says, the Magic Valley is well represented in Washington D.C. in the Risch office because anytime anything comes up from the Magic Valley; I'm all over it."

Ecological succession
Ecological succession is a fundamental concept in ecology which states that there is a definable sequence of successional stages through which an ecosystem will pass. Primary succession by definition starts with a bare substrate and a pioneer community, whereas secondary succession occurs after an existing successional stage is disturbed (such as, for example, following a fire, a flood, volcanic eruptions, or deforestation). Retrogression is what occurs when succession reverts back to pioneer stage.During succession, a change of the species structure and organisation of an ecological community is observed over time. Within the community some species may become less abundant, or may entirely disappear, while other species may become more abundant or just enter the community from adjacent ecosystems.
Ecological succession ends with a stage called climax. This climax occurs when the ultimate vegetation (called the climax community) has become in equilibrium with the local environment. Some environments never reach climax because some factors cause the natural succession to stop; these ecosystems are called sub-climax.
The very early stage of an ecological succession may be a bare rock slightly covered by moss, or a mud flood slowly being colonized by a grass. Usually, this stage shows very low diversity. A mature ecosystem will on the opposite, frequently show high diversity of species, many mutualistic interactions, and a high degree of nutrient recycling.
Historically, there have been two contrasting views of succession:
Gleasonian and Clementsian. The Clementsian model argues for a predictable, orderly process which culminates in a stable climatic climax. The Gleasonian model is more complex, invoking interactions between the physical environment, population-level interactions between species and disturbance regimes in determining the composition and spatial distribution of species.
The obvious extension of the Gleasonian view is the view that continuous change in vegetation is the norm (similar to Henry Chandler CowlesÒ view of succession) and that multiple steady states exist in ecosystem dynamics. This challenges the popular concept of reference (or 'original') conditions in most ecosystems.
The development of some ecosystem attributes, such as pedogenesis and nutrient cycles, are critical factors which influence community development but take considerable time. Coupled with the stochastic nature of disturbances events and other long-term (e.g., climatic) changes, it is doubtful whether a true 'climax' exists in any ecosystem, except as a purely theoretical construct.
History of ecological succession
History of the idea
At the turn of the 20th century, Henry Chandler Cowles was one of the prime movers in the emerging study of "dynamic ecology", through his study of the Indiana Dunes, sand dunes at the southern end of Lake Michigan. Cowles found that he could relate the vegetation at any point in the dunes to several variables: the distance from the lake shore, the estimated age of the dune, and the type of soil that had developed. In 1899 his classic paper "The ecological relations of the vegetation of the sand dunes of Lake Michigan" appeared in the Botanical Gazette.
In modern times, less stress has been placed on the idea of a single, natural "climax forest" or other climax vegetation, and more study has gone into the roles of contingency in the actual development of several possibilities at any one site.

MMP20On this page:
Reviewed February 2007
What is the official name of the MMP20 gene?The official name of this gene is "matrix metallopeptidase 20." MMP20 is the gene's official symbol. The MMP20 gene is also known by other names, listed below. Read more about gene names and symbols on the About page. What is the normal function of the MMP20 gene?The MMP20 gene provides instructions for making a protein called enamelysin, which is essential for normal tooth development. Enamelysin is involved in the formation of enamel, which is the hard, white material that forms the protective outer layer of each tooth. Enamel is composed mainly of mineral-containing crystals. These microscopic crystals are arranged in organized bundles that give enamel its strength and durability. Certain proteins are needed to shape and organize the crystals as they form, but these proteins must be removed for enamel to harden normally. Enamelysin cuts (cleaves) other proteins involved in enamel formation, such as amelogenin and ameloblastin, into smaller pieces. Cleavage of these proteins makes them easier to remove when they are no longer needed. How are changes in the MMP20 gene related to health conditions?
Where is the MMP20 gene located?Cytogenetic Location: 11q22.3 Molecular Location on chromosome 11: base pairs 102,576,834 to 102,625,331 The MMP20 gene is located on the long (q) arm of chromosome 11 at position 22.3. More precisely, the MMP20 gene is located from base pair 102,576,834 to base pair 102,625,331 on chromosome 11. See How do geneticists indicate the location of a gene? in the Handbook.

Honestly, almost everything the ordinary person thinks economists think is wrong. Which is what makes teaching intro to econ such a challenge. The main message here is to realize you don't know nearly as much as you might think about what other groups out there think, especially marginalized and colorful groups. Doubt everything you think you know about the beliefs of satanists, theologians, pedophiles, free-lovers, marxists, mobsters, futurists, UFO folk, vegans, and yes economists.
Imaginary Positions
Every now and then, one reads an article about the Singularity in which some reporter confidently asserts, "The Singularitarians, followers of Ray Kurzweil, believe that they will be uploaded into techno-heaven while the unbelievers languish behind or are extinguished by the machines."
I don't think I've ever met a single Singularity fan, Kurzweilian or otherwise, who thinks that only believers in the Singularity will go to upload heaven and everyone else will be left to rot. Not one. (There's a very few pseudo-Randian types who believe that only the truly selfish who accumulate lots of money will make it, but they expect e.g. me to be damned with the rest.)
But if you start out thinking that the Singularity is a loony religious meme, then it seems like Singularity believers ought to believe that they alone will be saved. It seems like a detail that would fit the story.
This fittingness is so strong as to manufacture the conclusion without any particular observations. And then the conclusion isn't marked as a deduction. The reporter just thinks that they investigated the Singularity, and found some loony cultists who believe they alone will be saved.
Or so I deduce. I haven't actually observed the inside of their minds, after all.
Has any rationalist ever advocated behaving as if all people are reasonable and fair? I've repeatedly heard people say, "Well, it's not always smart to be rational, because other people aren't always reasonable." What rationalist said they were? I would deduce: This is something that non-rationalists believe it would "fit" for us to believe, given our general blind faith in Reason. And so their minds just add it to the knowledge pool, as though it were an observation. (In this case I encountered yet another example recently enough to find the reference; see here.)
(Disclaimer: Many things have been said, at one time or another, by one person or another, over centuries of recorded history; and the topic of "rationality" is popularly enough discussed that some self-identified "rationalist" may have described "rationality" that way at one point or another. But I have yet to hear a rationalist say it, myself.)
I once read an article on Extropians (a certain flavor of transhumanist) which asserted that the Extropians were a reclusive enclave of techno-millionaires (yeah, don't we wish). Where did this detail come from? Definitely not from observation. And considering the sheer divergence from reality, I doubt it was ever planned as a deliberate lie. It's not just easily falsified, but a mark of embarassment to give others too much credit that way ("Ha! You believed they were millionaires?") One suspects, rather, that the proposition seemed to fit, and so it was added - without any warning label saying "I deduced this from my other beliefs, but have no direct observations to support it."
There's also a general problem with reporters which is that they don't write what happened, they write the Nearest Cliche to what happened - which is very little information for backward inference, especially if there are few cliches to be selected from. The distance from actual Extropians to the Nearest Cliche "reclusive enclave of techno-millionaires" is kinda large. This may get a separate post at some point.
My actual nightmare scenario for the future involves well-intentioned AI researchers who try to make a nice AI but don't do enough math. (If you're not an expert you can't track the technical issues yourself, but you can often also tell at a glance that they've put very little thinking into "nice".) The AI ends up wanting to tile the galaxy with tiny smiley-faces, or reward-counters; the AI doesn't bear the slightest hate for humans, but we are made of atoms it can use for something else. The most probable-seeming result is not Hell On Earth but Null On Earth, a galaxy tiled with paperclips or something equally morally inert.
The imaginary position that gets invented because it seems to "fit" - that is, fit the folly that the other believes is generating the position - is "The Singularity is a dramatic final conflict between Good AI and Evil AI, where Good AIs are made by well-intentioned people and Evil AIs are made by ill-intentioned people."
In many such cases, no matter how much you tell people what you really believe, they don't update! I'm not even sure this is a matter of any deliberately justifying decision on their part - like an explicit counter that you're concealing your real beliefs. To me the process seems more like: They stare at you for a moment, think "That's not what this person ought to believe!", and then blink away the dissonant evidence and continue as before. If your real beliefs are less convenient for them, the same phenomenon occurs: words from the lips will be discarded.
There's an obvious relevance to prediction markets - that if there's an outstanding dispute, and the market-makers don't consult both sides on the wording of the payout conditions, it's possible that one side won't take the bet because "That's not what we assert!" In which case it would be highly inappropriate to crow "Look at those market prices!" or "So you don't really believe; you won't take the bet!" But I would guess that this issue has already been discussed by prediction market advocates. (And that standard procedures have already been proposed for resolving it?)
I'm wondering if there are similar Imaginary Positions in, oh, say, economics - if there are things that few or no economists believe, but which people (or journalists) think economists believe because it seems to them like "the sort of thing that economists would believe". Open general question.

I'm not sure this is exactly the same thing, but it's probably related:
The way people sometimes... creatively misunderstand... various fields of endeavor.
Think along the lines of quantum mysticism stuff and the way that Godel's theorem is abused by religious types. (not to mention the ye olde "but the second law of thermodynamics proves you can't have evolution" that they love to trot out)
I'm not sure this is exactly the same phenomenon, but it does seem to be part of a larger "creative misunderstanding of another's position to somehow support my own" thing.
Actually, just remembered one I saw that was almost painful.
I don't remember the exact quote, but it went something like this:
"I don't really know anything at all about quantum mechanics, but I believe it does prove the truth behind the ancient eastern wisdom." (or something to that effect)
I'm pretty sure the person who said that was being serious.
My first thought was obviously "but... if you don't actually know anything about it, and you know you don't know, then why do you..."
I had a similar experience with a friend of mine who admired Thomas Mann. And, well, science was not his strong point: He: " I just finished the Magic Mountain and I believe Thomas Mann anticipated Einstein's theory of relativity!" Me: " Äh, what..." He: " On one page he writes about how the watch hands divide the space of the clock-face into several areas! He anticipated that space and time are related!!"
And just in case: Mann started writing " Magic Mountain" in 1912.
To give the journalist the greatest benefit of the doubt: In what capacity could it be said that singulitarians think only singulitarians will be saved?
Off the top of my head: If uploading is consensual, only people willing to be uploaded will be uploaded. (or made immortal, or cognitively enhanced) If they foom without the rest of humanity... It fits the story pretty well.
The issue of "failing to update" probably deserves its own post. The state of the world tends to change over time. Even people who bother to look stuff up to determine whether their views are in accordance with current reality and revise accordingly can't afford to constantly keep checking back to see if any relevant facts have changed. The first time you get in an argument you might look the facts up but from then on when the same issue comes up you fall back on your previously-researched conclusion.
This is one reason why old scientists need to die out before new ideas can receive suitable consideration.
I tend to think a lot of positions people hold that appear currently absurd were once validly held - either by that person, or by a source that person respects - at some point in the past. For example, many who think they want stronger gun control laws hold in their heads the idea that you're much more likely to be mugged in the US than in Great Britain...because that used to be true, back when they first formed their opinions on the subject. Or consider Macintosh versus Winodws arguments that allege Macs are/aren't more/less expensive and are/aren't much faster than comparable PCs; all those views are correct, depending on the reference frame of the speaker.
@James Andrix
"If uploading is consensual, only people willing to be uploaded will be uploaded"
How funny you should mention this. I listened to a debate on this just on Sunday afternoon. It seemed agreed that the real issue revolved around the meaning of informed consent, and how that changes when uploading becomes possible.
The most common reasons people choose to die - depression, Alzheimer's, cancer - might be made moot by that advance alone, eliminating any "rational" reason to die, one side thought. One woman argued uploading would an easy extension of EU human rights; to deny people uploading would be as barbarous as the death penalty.
I think she was trying to make an explicitly anti-Hansonian claim - she argued that uploading would actually increase the value and meaning of life, not lessen it. This may be a distinctive European form of social thought, I don't know.
Now Kurzweil fits the description of techno-millionaire. I have no idea if he is an Extropian, but it does seem pausible. People don't usually label themselves, define themselves completely consistently and coherently, or distinguish between their beliefs and those of others which leaves others to do it and naturally enough get it wrong.
I, for one, find the whole natural vs. artificial intelligence argument little more than projections of inadequacy and fear. Far more likely to me is natural and artificial intelligence melding into complexes that one can no longer define as natural or artificial except on trivial irrelevant bases. I doubt we will even recognize a singularity until it is long past with historians debating what constituted it just as scientists debate what constitutes natural and artificial.
James, that's a good example - I remember being shocked to find out that there are various kinds of contract clauses that judges will ignore. It made me appreciate much more deeply why you have to have a lawyer look it over. Similarly, I used to have no idea of the philosophy behind stare decisis - I thought it was ingrained deference to the past a la Judaism.
Roland, since many Christians do believe those things, this isn't the sort of entirely imaginary position I'm talking about - the one that just gets manufactured from thin air because it seems so "truthy".
I recently had 2 occasions where
- I said X - Someone else said, No, Y - I thought they were wrong - I later realized: Not X, but Z - then went back and looked, and saw Y = Z
In both cases, I didn't understand Y the first time because I had expectations for how X would be misunderstood, and looked for indications of them in Y, and on finding terms and phrases that matched my expectations stopped parsing Y prematurely.
I propose there exists a confusion-recovery mode for conversation. It triggers when what you just heard makes no sense to you. Evolution expects this to happen when the speaker is rationalizing or dishonest. The instinct is to get suspicious, stop interpreting words literally, and look for an in-framework explanation that fits the other person's expected bias. I also think this has an element of preferring premature certainty to valid confusion.
If there's a huge inferential gap, you'll trigger this mode immediately.
Very recently experienced exactly this phenomenon: someone discussing atheists who think "all religion/religious stuff is bad" to the inclusion of, for example, the music of Bach, or drinking and celebrating at Christmas. They seemed convinced that such atheists exist, and I doubt it, or at least I have never heard of them or met them, and I know for a fact that for example all four horsemen of atheism have made explicit statements to the contrary.
Your disclaimer is an annoying one to have to make, and of course this problem comes up whenever this move is made in discussion; your counterpart says "well, but some singularitarians believe that, don't they?" and you can't actually prove there are none, and you have the sneaking fear that given the vastness of the Internet a judicious Google search might just turn up someone crazy enough to vindicate them; but of course a handful of anonymous loons on the Internet sought specifically for their particular brand of madness does not a position worthy of discussion make.
"wouldn't at all claim that uploading can't increase the value and meaning of life."
Despite the confusing-to-some negative form of phrasing here, my impression that is I do in fact understand your position on this. However, the woman on Sunday believed she was arguing against you. This was exactly why I used this example here in Imaginary Positions, sorry if it seemed unclear to you.
My impression is that many people who do not regularly read OB with care come across your ideas in other places where they may not be well-stated, for example in TierneyLab or Wikipedia.
To set the record straight, my impression from reading all your papers is that you do actually argue for a basically positive future. Being an em - I now personally expect to be an em! - I look forward to being an em! - will be life-enhancing.
In short, I think it will be more like Gentle Seduction than the downbeat living as Tierney seems to describe. I am buying my Emotiv helmet ASAP!
Eliezer: The distinction between direct observation and deduction is pretty ambiguous for a Bayesian, is it not? Also, MANY rationalists advocate "giving people the benefit of the doubt" which for them implies "behaving as if all people are reasonable and fair?". Furthermore, almost all rationalists, you for instance, advocate stating literally true beliefs towards people rather than stating the beliefs that you have most reason to expect to be most informative or to produce the best results. MANY people refrain from becoming more rational out of fear that they would have to do the same and out of justified belief that doing so would cripple their efficacy in life.
James Miller: Good call! That point about non-lawyers deserves a post of its own somewhere? I seriously wonder where they got that idea. Strangest of all, they seem to have generalized that misconception to invent the "laws of nature" which really are literal.
Paul Crowley: Both my wife and I have had brief phases when we were atheists of the type you question exists.
Also, on topic of the Singularity, half of the people I meet seem to think the concept is obviously absurd because "the Singularity is all about infinite growth, and that's physically impossible". Has anybody ever actually claimed that the Singularity would be literally infinite anything?
Has anybody ever actually claimed that the Singularity would be literally infinite anything?
IIRC, Kurzweil discusses the possibility in The Singularity is Near (in the context of making new universes). But it seems to be more in the "wow, gee!" category than anything he's asserting is at all likely.
A British police blogger says that people sometimes want an off-record "talking to", but UK police will no longer do this. This is a false belief: the police will do as I want, or behave in the way I consider sensible. The blogger says that they will not.
Eliezer: The distinction between direct observation and deduction is pretty ambiguous for a Bayesian, is it not?
Um... not at all, actually. A key insight into causal networks consists of giving prior-probability messages and likelihood-evidential messages two separate pathways to travel along, and recombining the two only after the messages have propagated separately. Like counting soldiers in a line using a distributed algorithm by having each soldier report the number of soldiers behind (and passing that number + 1 forward) and having each soldier report the number of soldiers forward (and passing that number + 1 behind) and only recombining the two messages afterward, rather than mixing them up as they pass.
So you will generally want a very crisp distinction between your reasons to believe something because of what you believe about its generating process, and your reasons to believe something because of what you have observed of its effects.
It seems to me that claiming the right to say what someone else believes, entirely ignoring what they protest, is a strong claim of status over them (compare: "stop hitting yourself!"). Perhaps, at least to the extent that they're recognizable as non-responsive to reality or to denial, imaginary positions allow the claimants and their readers to join in putting down those nutty technophiles or whoever.
Random: If there were a TV Tropes page for "nearest cliche", I would want to clip panel 4 of this El Goonish Shive comic to illustrate it.
Hm, it seems like there ought to be a page for that particular scenario, because it seems familiar ("Ah! It's an X!" "sigh, It's not an X. It's a YZW."). The closest matches I've found are Not Using The Z Word, and Our Vampires Are Different ⊂ Our Monsters Are Different, but neither of them are about the characters doing the naming.
(But none of this is about "nearest cliche" as covered in the post; I did my research based off your comment, before I read the post.)
Reed seems to be assuming that no one but oddball Singularitarians will want to be "saved". Be thankful that he isn't jumping to the conclusion that "salvation" will not optional.
But if Reed is right that the majority of mankind will not wish to participate in this salvation and if Eliezer is right that the overwhelming majority of very intelligent people will wish to participate, this sets up a very dramatic situation. You could almost construct a novel around that idea. A big fat novel with a hundred page philosophical monologue by the hero embedded near the conclusion. Maybe call it "Alas! Shagged!!"
In Turing's Cathedral, Dyson says:
For 30 years I have been wondering, what indication of its existence might we expect from a true AI? Certainly not any explicit revelation, which might spark a movement to pull the plug. Anomalous accumulation or creation of wealth might be a sign, or an unquenchable thirst for raw information, storage space, and processing cycles, or a concerted attempt to secure an uninterrupted, autonomous power supply. But the real sign, I suspect, would be a circle of cheerful, contented, intellectually and physically well-nourished people surrounding the AI.
Today, the inner circle at companies like Google and Facebook get more of the benefits than outsiders do - they get a share of the winnings.
People have reason to be sceptical when people say that their machine intelligence will be any different. You are just saying that, they will think - to get support from the masses during the construction process - when your project is at its most vulnerable.
In this model, they think you have a strong motivation to decieve them - so it is not much of a surprise when they fail to update based on what you say.
One of my all time favorites:
Transhumanist conspiracy evident in Black Eyed Peas music video as "psychological warfare"
"Absolutely brilliant article. I appreciated the in-depth look at transhumanism as it relates to eugenics. Scary stuff." - Miranda, from the comments section. Listen to Miranda and take a look at the article!
Quantum physicists, not Quantum Mechanics? Do you mean, just... physicists? Physicists who deal in quantum phenomena? Physicists who try to interpret quantum mechanics professionally?
And what sort of position - that MWI is necessarily a part of how QM works, etc.? Alternately, that physicists are all Copenhagen diehards who won't look at the foundations of what they're doing?

BaByliss PRO Nano Titanium Straightening Iron 1 1/4"
AngelaMIAMI THE LAND OF FRIZZINESS LOLHairBlackDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairAmazing !!!Let me just say that before purchasing this FANTASTIC flat iron I owned the Solia Tourmaline Ceramic Ion Flat iron and while it did the job by straightening my hair I can never compare it to my Babyliss Pro Nano Titanium Straightening Iron!! The Babyliss iron just by using it ONCE kept my hair shiny, UNFRIZZY, made it softer and it didn't leave my hair smelling burnt like my old Solia. I cannot live without this flat iron! I used it while I went to Orlando, FL to go to Islands of Adventure where there is A LOT of wind and the rides leave your hair crazy and at the end of the night my hair was still straight, and soft. After 4 days of using it, it's still straight. I sleep and when I wake up it STILL remains straight. Mind you I am a 20 year old with sort of Dominican hair. My hair is thick in the roots and REALLY curly and gets frizzy all the time!! Just by using this iron ONCE it has kept my hair straight for 4 days and still going. I am in LOVE ! :)posted Oct 27, 2011Link to this post
LisaOklahomaHairMedium BrownNormal HairColor Treated HairShe Wants Another One...My 14 yr. old daughter wanted a top rated flat iron. After researching the products, I decided on this BaByliss for her over 2 years ago. I liked the fact that the reviews said no tugging and I liked the temp. control. We had never heard of this brand and was leary because of the brand-name status' teen age girls are inspired by. She seems disappointed at first (because of the brand)...BUT after using this iron, she loved it immediately, and all of her friends then wanted one too. Now, because she has dropped it too many times, it if finally shorting out. She has requested ANOTHER BABYLISS. haha, see moms do know best sometimes ;)posted Oct 25, 2011Link to this post
KaiceyHairMedium BrownThick or Coarse HairIf You Want Straight Hair...Buy this! This is the ONLY straightener I have found that completely straightens my hair's waves. I have tried them ALL too! I even had the Sedu that is rated #1 for this site and just wasn't impressed. This straightener is absolutely amazing... it straightens each section of hair the first time so I don't have to go over and over, damaging my hair. I do have to warn you.. it can get pretty hot so be careful! I typically use the lowest heat (or next one up) so that I don't fry my hair. My hair is naturally wavy and very thick and this works wonders!posted Oct 17, 2011Link to this post
LexieHairBlondeNormal HairDry HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairLove It! Straight As A PinWOW! i cannot stop raving about this flat iron! It makes your hair so silky and smoke and doesnt pull or tug my hair! Since the plates are titanium i know i will get a smooth glossy finish that will last through summer and winter!posted Oct 15, 2011Link to this post
MackenzieCamano Island, WAHairBlondeDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairBest Straightener Ever <3I love this straightener! I went to the salon & got my hair bleached and it made my hair super dry. After she bleached my hair and blow dried it it looked like A stack of curly hay. Then she straightened my hair with the Babyliss iron in 10 MINUTES! It was pin straight and super glossy. I usually get these fly aways and i had none with this iron! Also my hair gets really poofy quick, especially if I'm in a humid place or even just from walking places. But not with this iron! I'm definitely buying it as soon as i get the money! (:posted Oct 13, 2011Link to this post
JackieHairMedium BrownNormal HairDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairIt Straightens, But Not Impressed"So I purchased this flat iron based on the video reviews and some comments left on this website. To tell you the truth, my Herstyler flat iron works better than this one. It definitely straightens your hair but does not leave it silky and smooth like my previous flat iron did. I felt that if I kept on using this flat iron, eventually my hair will be damaged. After using this flat iron, my hair felt a little crisp and it left a slight burnt smell on my hair. I sent it back the next day to exchange for Herstyler ceramic flat iron (the one I previously owned and lasted about 4 years until the cord starting acting up). Hopefully I'll get it by Tuesday this week. Not the best thing for my type of hair.posted Oct 7, 2011Link to this post
ArveniableNew York CityHairDark BrownColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairChemically Treated HairDidn't Think I Could Do It Until ...... I got this flat iron. That is, actually be able to "do" my hair without freaking out, getting impatient, and/or running for the nearest Dominican salon.
I am African-American with non-porous, extremely dense (as in, hairstylists have said to me that I have the thickest hair they've ever done) hair that has a Coppola BKT in it. Prior to the Coppola, I wore my hair in a THIS HIGH tightly coiled blond afro, styled simply by washing and detangling in the shower, and then allowing it to air dry with very little product.
That said, even with the very successful BKT, I have always had NO skill and even less patience for doing my own hair. I have always gone to get my hair roller set and worn it straight by using non heat roller setting each night and brushing it out in the morning (a consistently somewhat curly/wavy style).
So, yesterday I waited too late to run out to the salon as I got ready for a wedding. I knew the time had come for me to suck it up and give my hair a try. I blew my hair dry (went from smooth 3A curls to a blowdried poof) and instantly got a LITTLE (okay, a LOT) nervous about the task ahead,
I plugged in the BaByLiss and the only mistake I made, is not turning it right up to 450 degrees from the start. The rest, as they say, is history.
ONE pass to smooth and sleek was all it took. I sectioned off my hair (using some also awesome T-2 Big Mouth clips) and worked in (nearly) 4 sections from bottom to top, and took care not to flat iron a huge section and expect it to work.
I also made use of a Croc Iron Comb, one with the spring action to keep each section perfectly distributed prior to the pass with the BabyLiss.
Smooth, straight, and did I mention SMOOTH? Body and a bit of movement to boot.
Thank you Folica for the lightning fast shipment (I hardly blinked and it was here) and thank you BaByLiss!posted Sep 13, 2011Link to this post -

Item Illustrations
Here are some item illustrations I've been working on I. I would love to hear feedback on how to better render these and paintovers are always welcome. I made almost all of these this past week to target Fantasy Mint. I can't find a way to contact them other than posting on their forum which seems unprofessional. Anybody else have some contact information? Thanks.
*update below
Crown of ramming
Runestone Grenade
Ring of waterbreathing-I was just thinking of what a ring like a squid would look like.

Hide this ad by registering as a memberNovember 3rd, 2006 #2All really nicely rendered. I especially like the weapon made from the creatures Jaw. tasty!
November 6th, 2006 #3The first two and the fifth one are well done (better than I could do), but I think they bring down the rest of the pieces a little. Without them it looks like a much stronger portfolio. Good Luck man... it's very nicely rendered stuff.
November 6th, 2006 #4Mmm, I agree... The first two don't seem as sharp as the others, but it's all very well done. Great colours, and some really awesome designs in there. Good luck.
November 6th, 2006 #5inspector_lee- Thank you for the complement.
Bowlin- Thanks for the feedback. I'm a little surprised you picked the 5th one and not the 6th. I thought the sixth one was one of the weaker ones.
cognition-Thanks for the feedback. I don't know what of these are going on my website so the feedback is appreciated.
November 6th, 2006 #6All in all, this is a nice collection.
The warhammer doesn't look quite right, though: The perspective seems broken, and it's not nearly as interesting as the more elaborate and unusual designs you have here. The ring ring of waterbreathing doesn't really look like squid to me, I'm afraid. Have you considered maybe making it look like a tentacle instead?
For me, the strongest design is the two-handed weapon with the teeth. You do glass surfaces very well.
November 13th, 2006 #7Malaveldt-Yeah it looks like I had a brain fart on that hammer pic. Here's an updated version.
I haven't heard anything from Fantasy Mint so I guess I struck out. Back to the drawing board. I'm going to try to make 3D models of these which I haven't done before. We'll see how it turns out.

When I get heartburn I chew a couple of thin slices of ginger. You might think that because ginger is spicy it makes heartburn worse, however, ginger helps soothe stomach muscles and aids digestion. I have acid reflux disease and chewing ginger throughout the day works wonders. The alternative would be prescription antacids like last summer.

It's a Cat-tastrophy!
The cattery at Kitsap Humane Society (KHS) is overflowing with cats of all ages, shapes and sizes.
For a limited time only, adoption fees are 50 percent off all adult cats over 1 year old.
Also, outdoor homes are needed for barn cats. KHS has seen a recent influx in the number of "barn cats" coming to the shelter and is looking for cat lovers who have a barn or other secure outdoor structure.
These cats are not suitable for life inside a house or are simply unhappy living inside. Cat temperaments range from feral to friendly.
KHS' barn cat program is designed to find homes for cats that have traditionally been deemed un-adoptable through its normal adoption procedures.
Barn cats are free to good homes.
Applications are available at email@example.com Humane Society is a private, non-profit charitable organization that has been caring for animals in need since 1908.
KHS' admits almost 5,000 animals per year and has a 94 percent save rate, one of the highest in the U.S. It's vision is that every adoptable companion animal has a home.

Jeremiah - All |
1 Right wouldest Thou be, O LORD, were I to contend with Thee, yet will I reason with Thee: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? Wherefore are all they secure that deal very treacherously? 2 Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit; Thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins. 3 But Thou, O LORD, knowest me, Thou seest me, and triest my heart toward Thee; pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter. {P}
4 How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said: 'He seeth not our end.' 5 'If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? And though in a land of peace thou art secure, yet how wilt thou do in the thickets of the Jordan? 6 For even thy brethren, and the house of thy father, even they have dealt treacherously with thee, even they have cried aloud after thee; believe them not, though they speak fair words unto thee.' {S} 7 I have forsaken My house, I have cast off My heritage; I have given the dearly beloved of My soul into the hand of her enemies. 8 My heritage is become unto Me as a lion in the forest; she hath uttered her voice against Me; therefore have I hated her. 9 Is My heritage unto Me as a speckled bird of prey? Are the birds of prey against her round about? Come ye, assemble all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour. 10 Many shepherds have destroyed My vineyard, they have trodden My portion under foot, they have made My pleasant portion a desolate wilderness. 11 They have made it a desolation, it mourneth unto Me, being desolate; the whole land is made desolate, because no man layeth it to heart. 12 Upon all the high hills in the wilderness spoilers are come; for the sword of the LORD devoureth from the one end of the land even to the other end of the land, no flesh hath peace. {S} 13 They have sown wheat, and have reaped thorns; they have put themselves to pain, they profit not; be ye then ashamed of your increase, because of the fierce anger of the LORD. {P}
14 Thus saith the LORD: As for all Mine evil neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit, behold, I will pluck them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among them. 15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them up, I will again have compassion on them; and I will bring them back, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land. 16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of My people to swear by My name: 'As the LORD liveth,' even as they taught My people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of My people. 17 But if they will not hearken, then will I pluck up that nation, plucking up and destroying it, saith the LORD. {S}

Hi there! I'm playing with ispconfig3 and I was wondering if it will support distribution lists, or at least email aliases/forwarders to multiple email accounts. For example: emails sent to firstname.lastname@example.com are forwarded to firstname.lastname@example.com AND firstname.lastname@example.com AND email@example.com Thanks Ignacio
ISPConfig 3 supports already email forwarding to multiple addresses. We might add support for mailing lists later.

Rumors started to spread around the world about the BBC's secret Digital Store for the past few days, now finally BBC has responded to these rumors confirming their new approach to enter the digital world with a new 'Digital Shop,' allowing everyone to download permanent copies of their favorite BBC shows, but of course you would have to pay a fee to access the service.
According to a BBC report, Mark Thompson, director general of BBC, explained the service as a "digital equivalent" of people buying a DVD of their favourite programme for a permanent collection.
"Digital Shop" is still on its way, but still no word about when they might release the service. Doctor Who fans might wanna check back here if you want to know when to download your digital copy of the show.
