We dig it when we get to be first in line to try out the latest go-fast goody from the aftermarket, so we jumped at the chance to lay our hands on a prototype set of Patriot Performance's new Freedom Series aluminum big-block Chevy cylinder heads and put them to the test. Our methodology was pretty cut and dried: We took a proven bottom end, specifically a 505ci stroker short-block from JMS Racing engines, equipped it with an aggressive Isky solid roller cam spec'd to complement the heads, topped it all off with the new lungs, then ran it on the dyno to see what was what. How'd it all work? Let's just say we were far from disappointed.
Patriot decided to aim its new big-block castings squarely at the street/strip enthusiast. Accordingly, the heads use 320cc rectangular intake ports. "It's small enough to work on the street," says Patriot's Gunnar Bowlin. "It also has a lot of flow," he continues. And that, of course, lends itself toward higher-rpm power. We know you've already flipped the page and checked out the dyno charts for our test, so we won't play coy here. Although Bowlin says these heads aren't for torque applications-e.g., low-rpm cruiser setups-our Isky-cammed test mule was anything but short on grunt. We will admit that it only makes 5 inches of vacuum at idle; with this cam, plan on a booster if you want power brakes. If you like raspy and loping, the idle quality is great. Most importantly for our purposes, however, is the fact that this thing is already making northward of 600 lb-ft at 3,500 rpm, and it maintains this type of grunt through most of the powerband, peaking at 5,100 rpm-which we'd say covers the "street" side of the equation.
Of course, that still leaves the "strip" side of the coin. According to Patriot, the new Freedom Series heads flow 369 cfm at 0.700 inch lift, and we chose our camshaft to take advantage of these heads' flow characteristics (see the sidebar) while also creating the aforementioned long, flat torque band. As it turned out, we had enough flow to support 674 hp at 6,300 rpm; in fact, our mule stayed well over the 600 mark from 5,100 rpm all the way to the end of the pull. Assuming you can make the thing hook up, it's the kind of power that'll put a 3,500-pound car well into the 10s, theoretically speaking. We could go on and on about it, but when you get right down to it, our JMS Racing 505, breathing through Patriot's new heads, made the big numbers we like to see.
On the other hand, nobody likes to see big numbers when it comes time to buy a set of big-block heads. In their baseline configuration (assembled with valvesprings that will accommodate up to 0.600 inch valve lift), the Freedom Series big-block heads go for a paltry $1,295 a pair. Ours came with springs that can handle up to 0.700 inch lift; even with the titanium retainers included in this package, the bill only comes in at $1,495. A setup with 0.800-inch springs also adds Ferrea valves to the mix and goes for $200 more. "We were looking to produce a great-performing head with exceptional quality at a terrific price," says Bowlin. In our book, all three of those goals have been met.
And although this story was primarily created to test the power potential of Patriot's big-block heads when matched with an appropriate cam, we couldn't help but include the cost for the entire engine build while we were at it. Even with the cost of the Isky solid roller cam and Red Zone lifters, the total tab on this 674-horse creation from JMS Racing Engines was a mere $8,730. Consider it a bonus, and read on to get the full story on these new heavy-breathing heads.

At the commitment stage of team development, to be truly effective a team needs organizational commitments that are as firm as its own sense of direction. This is especially true of inter-departmental, cross-divisional and other cross-boundary teams. When facilitating action plans for teams, make sure you spend time thinking through how the team will get this commitment if it does not have it already. Sharing plans and getting ownership from sponsors is an important way to accomplish this.
For virtual teams, supplying a shared infrastructure and schedule of meetings is essential.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Travel Epidemiology
To prescribe optimal pre-travel advice, preventive measures, and education, travel health providers must be aware of the absolute and relative magnitude of the many travel-related health risks. Such knowledge allows travel health care providers to perform an epidemiologic and traveler-specific risk assessment so that these measures can be appropriately prioritized for each traveler. Travel-related health problems are self-reported by 22%–64% of travelers to the developing world; most of these problems are mild, self-limited illnesses such as diarrhea, respiratory infections, and skin disorders. Approximately 8% of the more than 50 million travelers to developing regions, or 4 million people, are ill enough to seek health care, either while abroad or upon returning home.
Knowledge of the precise risk for a specific disease in a specific location has proved elusive, despite several decades of interest and investigation. (For additional discussion, see Chapter 2, Perspectives: Risks Travelers Face.) A reasonably accurate estimate of the number of cases of a disease or infection in all travelers over a time period at a location is difficult to determine, as many will have returned to their home countries by the time the disease manifests symptoms. Similarly difficult to obtain is an exact denominator reflecting the total number of travelers to that location. An accurate numerator must be divided by an accurate denominator to calculate a true incidence rate or risk. Even this standard population-based approach assumes that past experience predicts future risk. In addition, disease risks are not stable over time, and current or real-time data are rarely available. Much of the frequently quoted numerical data regarding the incidence of infection in travelers are based on extrapolations of limited data, collected in limited samples of travelers anywhere from a few to >20 years ago. This knowledge base includes morbidity studies of various methodologic designs, each with its own set of strengths and weaknesses. These studies have mostly examined a few key individual diseases in all travelers regardless of destination, profiles of disease occurrence at a few specific high-risk destinations, and disease occurrence in certain types of travelers with certain behaviors. Many have been single-clinic or single-destination studies that can lead to conclusions that are not generalizable to groups of travelers with different local, national, or cultural backgrounds.
A compilation of best available incidence rate estimates, given the above limitations, is available and has been updated over the years (Figure 1-01). With the notable exception of malaria, the major preventable travel-related diseases are associated with relatively low risks, ranging from 1 in 100 for influenza to <1 in 100,000 for several diseases that often concern travelers. Hepatitis A may be taken as an example of a prototypical vaccine-preventable disease, with an estimated overall uncorrected incidence of approximately 1 in 5,000 travelers to the developing world. Thus, the odds against acquiring hepatitis A on a single short trip are greatly in the traveler's favor, as many travelers realize. Any considered vaccination should be presented in context as insurance against a relatively uncommon event, but one that may result in illness or other consequences.
For diseases with poor or fatal outcomes, such as meningococcal meningitis, rabies, or Japanese encephalitis, the context of less tolerance of even small risks needs to be communicated to travelers to help them make informed decisions about all available interventions. The incidence rates in Figure 1-01 reflect aggregate data and studies, and do not consider variations in risk behaviors, destination, season, duration of travel, or general style of travel. For many diseases, research into increased or decreased risk according to these variables is still in its infancy because of difficulties in tracking outcomes at remote destinations.
A more recent and novel approach to defining disease epidemiology in travelers has involved the use of collaborative networks of specialized travel medicine clinics to collect and aggregate data on large samples of travelers (see the next section in this chapter, Travel Medicine Data Collection: GeoSentinel & Global TravEpiNet).
Figure 1-01. Estimated incidence rate per month of infections and fatal accidents among travelers in developing countries, 20101
1Unpublished; used with permission of Robert Steffen, Zurich, Switzerland.
Issues surrounding the relative merits of different methodologic approaches to defining travel-associated disease risk have recently been reviewed at length. In order to better characterize health risks and provide guidance to travelers, some epidemiologic priorities include the following:
- Obtaining travel-related data for many existing and potentially vaccine-preventable diseases. Current data are sparse, and incidence in local populations often may not reflect travelers' risk because of different risk behaviors, previous infection, or preexisting vaccination campaigns.
- Developing better surrogate markers for malaria exposure during travel to facilitate interventional studies for novel malaria chemoprophylaxis drugs or alternative dosing regimens. Such information is difficult to obtain because of the inability to perform placebo drug studies, given the life-threatening nature of the infection.
- Studying the effect of high-risk medical conditions or immunocompromising medications on travel outcomes.
- Improving understanding of the impact of host behavior related to different types of travel, such as tourism, business travel, travel to visit friends and relatives, missionary travel, and volunteer travel.
- Conducting research to gain more insight on exposure-related factors, such as urban vs rural travel, luxury vs rough travel, season of travel, and organized vs self-directed travel. Recent information on long-stay vs short-stay travel has been published.

text: I like your take on it (since I don't see him leaving NJPW based solely off of the results from Wrestle Kingdom) but I am more interested if you think he would be successful in the WWE. So many people claim that, along with KENTA, his act would be very successful in the WWE so long as the WWE doesn't alter their style very much upon arrival. I don't think either could find the same following in the E Universe, but I think that is mostly due to the fact that it's a completely different understanding and appreciation for wrestling in the Japanese culture versus what we typically see out of WWE fans.

It was not a lack of strength and agility that stopped Austin Carter from playing football or soccer or any of the other traditional male sports featured at
At 6' 2", 190 pounds, his athletic talents and academic skills afforded him plenty of choices. So he chose the one that best served his passion, cheerleading.
The girls who are his teammates, his many other close friends, nieces and nephews, all were in abundance Saturday evening at a going-away party in his honor at his stepmother's church, the Living Waters Assembly of God.
Amidst the cake and sandwiches and picture taking, their affection for Carter populated the air as they said goodbye. The 17-year-old student athlete is swapping the "Seahawk Life" of the Forgotten Coast for the Seahawk life of the Pacific Northwest, to finish up his last year of high school living with an uncle in Bellingham, Washington, a city as far north and west to the Canadian border you can go without stepping on a maple leaf.
His father, Ronald Carter, is happy his older brother, a retired Marine colonel with plenty of resources to do as he wishes, is excited about taking his son in.
All of Ronald Carter's siblings spent time in the military, children of an Air Force master sergeant who introduced his family to the area while stationed at Tyndall. Ronald Carter is now retired from the service, working in maintenance for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in Eastpoint.
In his toast to his son, he reminded him that a cellphone is a useful tool these days. He said this with a tear of joy in his eye, as he thinks about what his son has accomplished, and the opportunities that lie ahead.
"He's a great kid," said his cheerleading coach, Lynn Clark.
Carter's gal pals couldn't agree more.
"I can't even start to explain about how genuine he is," said Eve Bond. "He's very real about anything and everything. He'll let you know the truth but he's never mean about it."
Following his freshman year, Carter was encouraged by Cynthia Duncan to act on his interest in cheerleading. He tried out, and made the team.
"Ever since then I've been in love with it," he said. "I'm enjoying being in front of people."
Most of what he learned he picked up on his own, as the previous coach had little if any experience with how to incorporate a boy into an all-female squad.
"She didn't know what kind of uniform to order," said Carter. "The internet helped a lot."
Of course, the girl cheerleaders had an ulterior motive for wanting a boy on the team, especially a strong one, with patience and an outgoing personality.
"The reason is they can do more stunts. They've got the strength; they can throw their flyers higher," said Jamie Rohrer, an assistant director at the Florida High School Athletic Association who has overseen the implementation of competitive cheerleading in the state ever since it started a decade ago.
The FHSAA doesn't govern sideline cheerleading, such as
"It's grown pretty quickly," said Rohrer. "We're the largest state in the nation for competitive cheerleading."
She said the coed division is one of the largest divisions at the state level, with 40-50 teams. "You're looking at half the teams in
While male cheerleaders are uncommon in rural North Florida, there are plenty of boys taking part at high schools in central and south
"Some recruit football players and wrestlers just to enhance their stunts. A lot of males are tumblers too," Rohrer said.
"They loved that we had a male," said Carter.
He exercised extensively to maintain his stature as the team's physical anchor. Muscle exercises, pushups, pull-ups, a lot of stretching, all figured into his regimen.
"It's a good workout, starting with gymnastics," Carter said. "I've gained a lot of really good friends, that you knew you could trust."
The emotions that emerged in pioneering a new role for boys at the school shaped the young man's perspective. "I never knew what they'd see or how they were going to react to it," he said.
Carter also experienced the stress of how some others would comprehend his homosexuality. Some bullying, some nasty comments, are a remnant of the past, and they don't seem to bother the soft-spoken honor student..
"Everybody's entitled to their own opinion," he said. "It's always an awkward topic. You can tell if people bring it up."
Bond said her best friend set an example for grace under pressure. "He's the most confident person I know," she said. "He believes that everyone should be proud of themselves and be who they are."
Once he settles into a room added on to his uncle's house, Carter will start at
After graduation, he plans to major in math and minor in philosophy at college. Carter also plans to take advantage of the many opportunities the area has to offer, and step through any doors that his illustrious uncle, who served in counterintelligence during his career, may be able to open for him.
"He's smart inside and outside of school," said one girl. "Which is very rare to find around here."

Is there anything that a human being can never possibly do?
We humans are so overwhelmed with the millions of actions that we perform everyday. We call ourselves multitaskers and have todo lists and sometimes are concerned about over todo lists being overloaded.
But there should be zillions of things that human beings can never be able to do or are incapable of doing.
We might not have thought much about them. So thinking in this new perspective might create some new connections in your brain.
All the best.

Feb 2 2013: Rather than answering this question, I want to say the reason why human beings can do something is that something—our brain, history, nature and God—always enables us to manage to do that.

We do see a lot of miraculous happenings around the world, but we also acknowledge that quite often those are beyond our understanding.
If the things—could be anything—which have been enabling us to do something no longer work in us, that would be the key point of answering this question.
By "a human being", I think you mean more than just a person.
It's not merely about what a person is really capable of right now.
We, humans are not just on our own, ironically.

Although I cannot speak for human descendents who evolve from us, I am inclined wonder if there may be some physical laws or inherent properties of the universe that our very nature prevents us from being able to fully understand, even if we were aware of them. Trying to comprehend such topics would be analogous to trying to impart the laws of classical physics to an ape. Understanding and applying basic physics is quite possible (if not intuitive) for humans, but the ape's brain will only allow it to experience the depth of physics to a certain degree. The ape has some physical intuition that it is able to apply while interacting with its environment (for example, an ape would be aware that things fall towards the Earth), but the physical structure and programming of the ape's brain would make it extremely difficult/impossible to communicate to the details or mechanics of physics to it, even if it occurred to the ape to be curious about such things to begin with.
I realize this answer is very unspecific, but given all the science that we have barely scratched the surface of, I believe it's a good starting place when it comes to identifying our own limitations. Thank you for asking this excellent, thought-provoking question.
Jan 18 2013: What if you give that ape a cybernetic neuronal implant from 2023 and that same ape becomes more aware of the laws of the Universe than the whole Humanity combined in 2012.
Within these conditions would you consider the ape gain or loss something to it ?Jan 13 2013: "But there should be zillions of things that human beings can never be able to do or are incapable of doing."
I don't agree.
I believe that anything is possible if enough time and energy is applied to it.
It may not be exactly as expected, but it can still happen.
We can fly, we can find out more or less anything in a minute, we can leave the planet, we can breath underwater, we can see into the past, we can talk to people almost anywhere in the world.
Sure, its not in the way that would define us as superheros or gods, but its a pretty good (but a frustratingly slow) start.

Jan 30 2013: We cannot count to infinity. This is a limitation we created with the nature of numbers. A thought is that many of the limitations we see today we created. Usually inventions make something possible and open doors to new possibilities. We see this with the seemingly limitless possibilities of what you can accomplish with numbers: calculations, statistics, organization, etcetera. But one limitation we do see in he inability to count to the highest number..Jan 23 2013: using the word never means we are making predictions about the future ...so, humans of the 22nd century and beyond, having benefited from accelerated evolution due to genetic remodeling, may very well do things and think in ways that humans in their current form clearly can't. It seems obvious to me that accelerated understanding of nature feeding into accelerated technologies, and visa versa, in an upward spiral, will change our current human abilities and form in profound ways. If not this century, soon. Hopefully, this will lead to a better, more humane civilization and not advantage the dark side of the human animal.

IMO, the comment by Jacqueline d'Etienne is superb. There may be many things we cannot achieve because we cannot imagine them.
This question has important implications.
Should we trust that human imagination and innovation will result in a world of abundance?
Should we admit that human innovation is limited and that we must live within limitations?
Thinking of ourselves in a positive light generally results in more positive outcomes. But thinking of ourselves as having no limitations might lead to catastrophe. "Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall." (Proverbs, 16:18)Jan 13 2013: We cannot change the laws of nature or fully understand the meanings of "infinity" and "forever".
Jan 13 2013: 'We cannot change the laws of nature'
We've overcome natural selection in its natural form, we've ended diseases, we've manipulated nature for the sake of agriculture, we've cloud seeded to make it rain on command, we've bred species, we've brought others to extinction, we create houses that dictate temperature, we've created new breeds of animals..
We manipulate it consistently and change the nature of any environment we see fit, thats pretty close.
'or fully understand the meanings of "infinity" and "forever".'
Infinity and forever are not evidential in nature or even verified to exist.
Currently they're Mathematical constructs that we created AND utilize,
So clearly we must understand the meanings of our own design, atleast largely.
Jan 14 2013: 1) Well, that's true, but I was referring to gravity, electromagnetism...We cannot change the way they rule the universe.
2) Even if those concepts don't exist in nature, what I said is that we cannot fully understand them. We do use them, but cannot wrap our heads around the idea of an infinite and eternal universe.
Jan 27 2013: Luis Javier Slavador.
Here, we will wrap our head around the idea that eternity exists using simple aritmatic.
If 0 + 0 implies that nothing can be derived from nothing then 1 + 0 implies that something must have always existed, or nothing would continue to exist.
This implies eternity Luis. The only way something could always exist is if eternity always exists.
The fact nothing can come from nothing automaticly implies the existence of eternity.
The fact eternity can so easily be demonstrated using simple aritmatic is a testiment that the human mind has problems with simplicity.Jan 13 2013: Not yet anyway. :)Feb 12 2013: If you think of logically achieving something which is impossible, it always looks impossible.. you have to believe that there are some people on this earth who went beyond logics and boundaries because of their confidence, creative thinking, strong will and never say never attitude.....

Gender Inequality is another issue prevalent at least in the developing societies. God knows when people will start treating each other equally.

Human beings can never possibly un-harm someone or something they have harmed.

While technological advancements are meant to facilitate living, more technology can enable a greater harm. One example now is the increased injuries and deaths from texting auto drivers.
You can hear how Einstein felt and what he said on the topic at;
♥ ♥Feb 4 2013: Firstable to be able to understand this question I think it's important to realize that the impossible you question exists because we imagine it ; so the impossible are things we dream about or have nightmares about but we do not think will happend (putting aside the absurd mind constructions we can create just for the fun of it). Plus at the present century on his own there are many things a human cannot do.
-(Teamwork is also an important question about this ; we often say that we are more than the sum of our components). (if working together)-
So my question would be : Is human capacity to reach it's objectives limited in it's essence ?
I think this is the real question because it puts aside the : "what if I wanted to create a flying spider elephant. Now that's impossible right ?"
Now to me the real thing is about our own limitations, Human ones more than environmental. At the human scale, the one of a life.
And I think we are not limited by ourselves, I have that faith that human will can overcome human problems. That in the strictly Human field : the mind, we are not limited.
But our environment limits us and we have to accept it in order to make our objectives from impossible, to unlikely, to reachable, to fullfilled ; in our minds, because that is that is important.
Sure enough we should not give up our most "crazy" projects because we are being told they're impossible, enough stories prove that, but reevaluating the way we want to get there makes our objective go from one step to the other.

Yes Richard. I've read them in thier entirity. You write good english, by the way. You appear to be a very interesting young man/lady?. Brash, curiouse and challanging. As to your talents, I know nothing. I have read your profile.
Richard, this is where my head is at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_integral_formulation
Perhaps you could help me out. Norbert Wiener, Richard Feynman and Dirac are a bit complex at times and both Dirac and Feynman, can be a bit showy with their talent. I lack the immediate genues to understand in short periods of time, but over time I can understand their implications. These forumualtions have to do with the idea of intgrating potential particle paths in the quantum relm, by summing the historyical paths a particle could take from poistion A to B. Of course, infinity posses some limits on how many histories we can sum but we can, by taking into account the extream minutness of particles and energy, limit the number of histories to get a good approximation. Neithier Feynman nor Dirac take this approuch. It is something I'm tinkering with.
I'm curentlly having to refresh my calculs just to follow along. I also admit, I'm a bit lost here.
My email is listed so we could bear the other members the bordeum of our conversation by continuing it in email.
John Moonstroller.Feb 2 2013: "But even in physics you could say that you can create "something from nothing" in the sense that one part of an equation is 0 while the other part is not. Actually the whole of physics seem to be forces which are able to cancel each other out." ~ Richard Krooman
Excellent point Richard. Matter anti-matter cancels each other. But this is implying that the sum of all matter anti-matter particles equals zero. Before they can be summed, they have to exist. 0 would imply either they never existed or the summation equals zero. Without some kind of after effect, we would never know.
Black holes exist but inside, there is no math nor physics that can describe the conditions there. Black holes were created from per-existing matter, so let's assume that all matter anti-matter particles existed before cancellation.
From whence came the matter with opposite compositions such that they cancel and is there any energy produced by this cancellation, which would imply incomplete cancellation, leaving evidence of a one sided summation event?
Before any reaction can take place,the elements of the interaction must exist. We are right back to whence came the elements? The whole of the math of the current class of physics we study is based on the assumption that the egg came before the chicken. There is no math where something is created out of nothing. The closet I can come is to suggest that something has always existed.
Ponder this Richard: "What is a force without something to act upon?" Can a force even exist without something to generate it? If the sum of all forces equals zero,does this imply they don't or never existed?
Feb 2 2013: "Excellent point Richard. Matter anti-matter cancels each other. But this is implying that the sum of all matter anti-matter particles equals zero. Before they can be summed, they have to exist."
Why do they have to exist? If none of them exist the sum would still be 0. You don't need particles to have the sum of them be 0.
This is what I meant when I said (in my origional post) 5 - 5 = 0.... So take 5 particles + 5 anti-particles = 0.
So why can't you have 0... and then split it to 5 and -5?
There is no law of physics against that. Also no math to prove me wrong.
The only thing that can be wrong is causality.... we have the idea that something must split the 0 into 5 and -5. However there is no proof of any of that.
Also I never seen a black hole... and I've never attempted to describe the physics. But Stephen Hawking has made a carreer out of reasoning about them. Perhaps you should ask him?
Your point being that I don't know everything about physics/math/the world... is a silly argument because nobody knows everything.
And I don't get your "The whole of the math of the current class of physics we study is based on the assumption that the egg came before the chicken.". It kinda tells me that you have no idea what math really is (language). Also physics doesn't assume that anything came before something else. It merely describes how things change in a way such that we can predict what will happen.
"Ponder this Richard: "What is a force without something to act upon?" Can a force even exist without something to generate it? If the sum of all forces equals zero,does this imply they don't or never existed?"
How the &*%^#$ should I know? But that I don't know it doesn't mean anything.
Nobody knows....
Although it appears that in nature a force always has a counter force going in an opposite direction (on some axis... be it electrical charge / speed / whatever). So perhaps everything is a force... and perhaps 0 was magically split.
Feb 2 2013: "Why do they have to exist? " ~RK.
They exist so you and I will have something to talk about. :)
"This is what I meant when I said (in my origional post) 5 - 5 = 0.... So take 5 particles + 5 anti-particles = 0." ~RK
There is a big difference between your 5-5 = 0 and my 1 + 0 = 1. It's the apples and oranges thing.
Before you can use the number 5, you have to justify where it came from.
Look at this again. "if in the beginning you have nothing 0" you only have the set of all things with one element in it. To create another element, you have to have the number 1 in the set. 0 + 0 = 0 but 1 + 0 = 1, continuing: 1 + 1 = 2.... 1 + n, where n = infinity. < notice this: infinity.... eternity... This is the implication.
Chicken and the Egg. One child has two parents...... all the way back to the first two parents, but where did they come from? The ancients conjered up God as an answer. Evolution teaches us the the first parents were chemicals and the forces of nature, which makes sense and does away with God.
But, where did the chemicals come from, which puts God back in the picture, but answers nothing because where did God come from?.
We can break it down till we have only one element to work with. Because 0 + 0 = 0 (nothing) we have to use 1 because 0 + 1 = 1 and ... 1+1 ... 1 + n = infinity...
The only way we can put 1 in the picture is to allow that 1 has always existed and there never was a time when nothing existed.
We can't multiply because 0 X [n] = zero.
And this is the end of this conversation RK.... Good luck.Feb 2 2013: You're not actually reading my posts... you just re-iterate what you already said.
And although I agree on there being infinity and eternity etc... your arguments for them are so wrong.
If in the beginning we have 0... and we want to get to 1... we can split the 0 into -1 and 1.
That way we end up with a 1.
And there are infinite ways to split 0... because you can even split it in -inf and +inf.
You should be able to explain where your 1 comes from... while I'm only forced to show that if the universe works this way 0 is always maintained.
Feb 2 2013: Split 0? impossible 0/2 = 0
0/n = 0.
zero divided into infinit pieces still = 0.
Now divide (0 + 1/n) and let n = infinity. How many pieces do you get?
As far as I know, it's the only argument for eternity. Join physicsforum.org
See how crazy crazy can be.... :)
Feb 2 2013: ...........................
Have you even read my posts?
Because I don't think so.Feb 1 2013: There are many things humans can never do. Many of them pretty simple.
Be objective.
Know the future.
Read the mind of another.
Turn back time.
Find certainty.
Avoid pain.
Look in the Face of God.
This is a quick list. Kind of silly, we know that they can't be done, but pretty well universally keep trying anyway.
I almost forgot, we will never "win the War on Drugs," eliminate poverty, or end crime.
Finally, the thing that humans will never be able to do... is to know their limits.Feb 1 2013: Everything is possible as long as we ( human beings) need it, want it and work for it . In the past , there is a common tthought to suggest that it's not possible to reach the moon or to fly with plans , I can continue and give a lot of examples but the thought is that we can do everything as long as we want it .Feb 1 2013: Understanding the reality & facts about the human "spirit"....!!Feb 1 2013: No.Feb 1 2013: Why ask what we cannot do ? Look at the things humans have done over the years, just incredible!Feb 1 2013: Humans can only use so many resources to defy whatever laws of physics 'cause no matter how intelligent they can be, it is simply impossible for humans to fly and breathe underwater. I rest my case. Oh and it's impossible for them to NOT die.
:)Jan 29 2013: "Yes and no. In Nassim Taleb's book antifragility he talks about the concept of iatrogenics -- harm done from the healer. From this perspective we are advancing technologically, but we're also advancing how much harm our technology is doing to ourselves" ~ taylor tomasini
Taleb's works are well known in the modern world. His ideas about "run over costs and dead end runs - my words" associated with building foundations based on statisitical implications was known well before his time, especially in the area of science.
The nature of science, having to prove, experimentally, weither something is feasible or not, helps to reduce these setbacks. In areas where statistics is the only route, the effects are not so pronounced on the material world in which everyday people live, rather, effecting the theoretical implications of the creative process which happens, with or without our intervention.
The harm of loosing a leg due to gangrene through surgery can be weighed against the odds of dying trying to save it through the healing process and cost is usually applied to the individual, rather than society as a whole. Looking for ways to heal a gangrenous limb is not affected by the indivudual loosing the limb and may have applications down the road.
Social techical revolutions like the induestrial revolution, are noted to having impact on a society but those societies who failed to embrace the concept, suffer more so in a world where this was deemed to be a promising move. There is little doubt that techonolgy increases efficiency, allowing the distribution of wealth to be readily obtainable by the average person. It's impact on the environment is still being questioned but I have seen the results in my lifetime and agree there could be a better way to impliment new technology, at least pursuing more study on it's impact.
I think this is the route we are taking, based on our obsevations of the effects we've seen so far.Jan 28 2013: Moving back onto the topic, Is anyone familiar with the singers RyanDan?
When I wonder at the capacity of a human being, it becomes mind boggling at the depth of analysis we need to use to measure the human aspect of emotional depth. Our ability to add emotional content to just about anything we see or do is hard, for me, to quantify in order to determine our range of emotion.
For those who don't know, RyanDan is a duet of singers, two twin brothers. One day in their career, they received the sad news that their 4 year old niece, "Tal" was dying of a brain tumor. They dropped everything to go home and the song, "Tears of an Angle" was born from their emotional experience during this event.
If there is one avenue of the human experience where we can communicate correctly with one another, it is on a plane of emotional expression. When you cry, I feel it. When I cry, you feel it. (for normal humans).
After reading the words to this song, "Tears of an Angle", and hearing it, I found this dance, done by the male-female, team "Salvation", that added motion to the idea of the sense of lose felt by RyanDan.
It is hard to view without shedding tears. The tightness in your chest becomes very apparent.
There is so much to being a human being. I'm glad I born to be one.Jan 28 2013: "But saying that because we defined something in some way it must lead to some conclusion, other than the use of the definition, is wrong..." ~ Richard Krooman.
I stand by the point I make Richard, unless you have something pertenate to reveal a flaw or incorectness, I see no reason to change the stipulation. Not everyone who has read this supposition disagrees wth it.
The point remains, if there was nothing in the beginning there would be nothing still.
Eternity exists.
If there was "nothing" in the begining, we would have an eternity of "nothingness". But, because you and I are this,"something" exists instead. I know it's hard to wrap our heads around the simplness of this idea but there it is.
The math only serves as a guide towards the understanding. It is, of itself, just a sign on a pole, pointing in a particular direction. In this sense, you are correct.
Jan 31 2013: How you are arguing your point here is very different from your post before.
Here you are not talking about anything math related but just say that "if there once was nothing then we cannot be here now because nothing simply cannot 'create something' ".
This is a philosophical argument that makes (somewhat) sense... it is very different from "simple aritmatic".
There are other philosophical views which disagree but I hold all of those to be false as well ;).
But anyway you seem to be confused about what math is...
Math is nothing more than a very precise language.
Feb 1 2013: Yes, I saw early one that you were confused by the math so I decided it would be best to pursue a different path, but you appear confused by philosophy as well. Let's talk about something else you feel more at ease with.
I understand math very well and have no problem following both classical and quantum physics. I'm a long time member of Physicsforum.org where we engage is such conversations.
But, as you see, the emphasis is on the fact of nothing can be derived from nothing. It is on this point that you need to ponder. Perhaps you might find a way around it. It has stooped me for many years.
I would love someone to find another way.
Feb 1 2013: I'm not really confused about math... I've had quite a few pretty difficult math courses ;)
But even in physics you could say that you can create "something from nothing" in the sense that one part of an equation is 0 while the other part is not.
Actually the whole of physics seem to be forces which are able to cancel eachother out.
All you have to do is invert the equation (which mathematically is correct but it also inverts our sense of causality in physics).
Take for instance positive charge and negative charge... they cancel eachother out nicely... so you could X + Y = 0 (where either Y and X are opposing charges).
Mathematically there is no reason why you cannot have 0 = X + Y.
The main problem which doesn't allow this is that of causality. It makes you "force X negative... and because you apply force to X, Y becomes positive".
For instance you hit something with a cloth... you become positively charged.. the object you hit negatively... and when you touch the charge eliminates eachother.
Now I'm not saying that "from nothing something can suddenly start" because theres no 'start point'.. it appears logical to us that something is needed to split + and -.
But the (mathematical) laws of physics don't actually tell us that a force is needed... it is just assumed by people.
Even then though eternity probably exists (or well I can't find any way that it does not exist)

Biochemistry Research Examines Cell Death
Dr. Adele Addington's research could lead to a better understanding of diseases such as cancer and Alzheimers
To cure such diseases as cancer and Alzheimers a better understanding of apoptosis, or programmed cell death, is required. Researchers such as Dr. Adele Addington, biochemistry professor, are doing just that.
For the past seven years Addington has researched apoptosis. If the enzymes, catalyzing proteins, and their roles in apoptosis were known, effective medications and techniques could be developed. This detailed understanding would lead to a prevention or treatment of neurodegenerative disease, immunoinflammatory disease and many others.
Until recently, only caspases, a type of protein-cutting enzymes, were recognized as being involved in apoptosis. However, research has indicated that non-caspase enzymes, granzyme B and capthesin B may be involved. If proven true, this could change the entire understanding of apoptosis.
What Research is Involved?
Most of Addington's research is focused on determining what enzymes react with common tools used to identify caspases. Much of the early research on apoptosis used a class of inhibitors of caspases thought to only interact with the caspases. Recent work in Addington's lab, as well as others in the apoptosis field, shows that other important cellular enzymes also interact very strongly with these inhibitors. As such, the conclusions drawn from experiments using these tools may not be entirely accurate.
Much data has been gathered, but the difficulty lies in obtaining accurate, repetitive results. Currently both PANC-1 and Jurkat cells are being used for in-vivo work. These two cell lines are easy to work with, while providing a variety of uses. Using the Jurkat cells, a student is inducing apoptosis and measuring the caspase activity level. Another student is studying different methods of inducing apoptosis in the PANC-1 cells.
Students involved in the project utilize cell culture, flourometric assaying, and many other laboratory techniques. The flourometric assays involve measuring the activity level of the enzymes based on their cleavage of substrates to release fluorescence products. This technique, and other methods of measuring activity level, is commonly used in the biochemistry field.
"It's important for students to learn the research process," says Addington. Student researchers are given full control of the experiment, with Addington monitoring from the sidelines. Students are encouraged to modify the process if it will result in more accurate data and an increase in efficiency. Hopefully, with enough modifications accurate data will be obtained and this research will benefit all involved.
Addington is a member of many professional societies. These include, the American Chemical Society, American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and Phi Kappa Phi. Addington has published research articles in such journals as Biochemical Journal and Biochemistry and presented an oral paper on "Guided Inquiry Labs: An Experiment in Progress" to several organizations and colleges around the United States.

I understand how over-provisioning works and some of the other features. My question is would it be OK for the most part if I DIDN'T install the software and didn't do any other tweaks?
We are imaging them from scratch, so I'm not concerned there. I am also not concerned about maximum performance. They perform well enough from my testing. I don't need to get 10 years out of the drives, but 4-5 would be good. We're running 3.0Ghz Core 2 Duos, and would prefer not to buy new machines, so we're adding RAM and the SSDs.
Any input? Thanks

I have an 830. The Magician software really just does 3 things:
- Provides a "health" check/view
- Allows firmware updating
- Utility functions - like secure erase, optimizing Windows settings for the SSD (like turning off defrag, etc.)
I installed my 830 without the Magician software (it's not necessary) and only ended up installing it when I needed to do a firmware update. Go to the full post

MISSION MATTERS: Attitude of Gratitude
By Fr. Paul Stark, S.J.
Vice President for Mission and Ministry
Roast turkey, pumpkin pie and all the other delicious foods and opportunities with family notwithstanding, Thursday will give us a focused opportunity to be grateful, to be thankful, to give credit where, frankly, credit is due.
St. Ignatius didn't have the benefit of our holiday, but gave thanks, always, anyway. He gave credit to God, to his relationship with God, for the many blessings--even in adversity--God gave him and the early Jesuits.
Ignatius taught his early companions and loyal lay-followers about the primacy of gratitude in prayer--he considered gratitude the heart of prayer, forming and focusing our relationship with God. He considered gratitude in prayer as the focus for our thanks and praise of God, the foundation from which we ask God for the things we still need. He considered gratitude in prayer the first step in prayer, after which we could still ask for the things we might need.
The gratitude we express in the next few days, despite the busyness we may experience in the next few days, and the stresses and strains the holiday can also bring, prepares us for Advent, to be sure, but really, for everyday, more importantly. Aren't gratitude and thankfulness really matters of self-understanding and attitude? Scripture abounds with parables and proverbs showing us concrete examples that evoke thanks and thankfulness, opportunities to check ourselves and understand ourselves and our position in the larger scheme of things.
So despite possible strains, St. Paul tells us to be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. We can name the many gifts we've already been given, or start to name them because they're so many, and then we can rest in the attitude of gratitude for considerably longer than Thursday and the weekend. For what people or things are you grateful...let it be a long list, savoring the person or thing with each recollection.
The richness of all we've been given frees us--and obligates us, really--to be thankful, to express gratitude, for things, for people, for opportunities, for adversities, even, because all of those form us beyond ourselves, all of those call us to be more...
God bless you and your family...and may God always keep us aware of those people who do not enjoy the same opportunities or blessings we've been given...With an appropriate attitude of gratitude, we can all say, I thank my God every time I remember you.
The attitude of gratitude...and for that, we're truly thankful.

does it fit the new 2012 macbook pro
- Asked by Rodolfo G from Hightstown
Speck SeeThru Case for MacBook Pro
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
Best Answer:
This isn't compatible with the new 2012 MacBook with retina display. They don't currently have one made for it yet. This case might fit the computer, however, it won't allow it to breathe properly and therefore it could over heat. Speck should be coming out with a new case for the 2012 MacBook within the next month or so.

I would recommend going to networking-forum.com and looking on there as they have a good way to test yourself (one of the little links on the sidbar iirc) and also teaches you a good way to do it.
Another way to learn to do it is :-
Or are you looking for more detail?

Hi basically I learnt sub-netting 8 months ago... didnt touch it after I now have to do subnetting theory.... yay... and I have forgotten everything.....
maybe help me out with a few examples ? one of the many things I have to do is this...
Address Class : __b__
Bits Borrowed for Subnet: ____8_____
Bits for Host: ____8_____
Number of Usable Subnets: _____253_____
Number of Usable Hosts/Subnet: _________
Network Address: ____________________
Usable Address Range: __________
Broadcast Address: ____________________
I have put in some numbers though I think I am extremely wrong..... can you help me with this one and explain then maybe I can do the rest my self?

Address Class : B
Bits Borrowed for Subnet: Class B is a 16-bit mask, but the SN above is a /24 so you borrowed 8 bits
Bits for Host: ____8_____
Number of Usable Subnets: 2^8 = 256 subnets
Number of Usable Hosts/Subnet: 32 bit address - 24 bit subnet address for a /24 = 8 bits for hosts -> 2^8 - 2 = 254 hosts per subnet
Network Address: 220.127.116.11/24
Usable Address Range: 188.8.131.52 to 220.127.116.11
Broadcast Address: 22.214.171.124
I'm pretty sure that's right... it's been a while since I passed my CCNA lol.

2^8 - 2 (the broadcast and the network address are not usable they are reserved ) but thanks for your help you confirmed most of my stuff
also its 1 to 255 0 and 256 are the resevered (the first and last addresses )
