Games for Kids to Play on a Trampoline
Nowadays it seems that kids spend almost all of their time indoors which everyone knows is not a good thing. Children need to be outside playing so that they can be healthy and grow up to be nice and strong. If your kids are just sitting inside all day they won't develop their muscles as well as cognitive functions such as hand eye coordination from doing various sports and activities.
Now while it can be hard to convince your kids to go outside and play you can always buy something that will further entice them to do so. By purchasing a trampoline for your children you will give them a fun reason to go outside and get active. Jumping on a rebounder brings along with it a variety of benefits such as cardio for the heart, hand eye coordination, and even leg development. If your child has a problem with weight issues than a trampoline will also help with that as well. With so many benefits it's astonishing that more parents haven't bought a trampoline already.
Trampoline Games for Kids
When you first get a rebounder your kids will love to just get on and jump around but eventually they are going to get bored. What really makes them so fun is the fact you can play games as long as there are a couple other kids to play with. Growing up myself I spent many hours playing on a trampoline and have learned many of the games over the years. By showing your kids how to play these games they will have even more fun while on the rebounder and spend more time playing as well.
One of my favorite games to play as a kid would have to be popcorn. This game is played by having one person sitting in the middle crisscross holding onto both their feet while the other players try to break their grasp by bouncing them in the air. Popcorn is a ton of fun and definitely helps build leg strength if you are the one trying to break the popcorn. Just make sure not to let the bigger kids bounce little kids too high because someone could get hurt.
Dead Man
To play dead man one person has to sit in the middle with their eyes closed and count to 10, once they are done counting have to keep your eyes closed and without standing up touch another player. The other players can do anything but jump over the dead man and they also have to make sure that the dead man doesn't fall off. This game is best played when there is a safety enclosure around the rebounder.
Dodge the Ball
Dodge the ball is a ton of fun in the best part is that everyone can play at once. How it works is you find some balls that you have laying around such as a football or soccer ball and set them on the mat. After all the balls are on the mat then everyone starts jumping and once you are hit with the ball you are out have to get off the trampoline. The last person still standing is in the clear the winner.
Now Go Have Fun!
Now that you know a few different games you can play while jumping on a trampoline your kids will be sure to have a ton of fun. With all the benefits this fun brings it will make you wonder why you didn't by a rebounder sooner.

He says he cares about me but doesn't want to hurt me...what should I do?
I called him out on being hot and cold and flaky and told him that I had feelings for him. He said he had been unsure whether or not I had feelings... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
I think it's a little of both. He's scared of hurting you and getting hurt himself, but he also doesn't really know how he feels yet. I would recommend letting him know that you still have feelings for him, and telling him that you're going to give him some time to work things out and decide what he wants.
What Guys Said 2
Both. Both actually. He is afraid and that creates confusion, so I suppose they are intertwined.
You don't proceed.
So I should just tell him we need to set the boundary firmly as friends and that I'm going to date other guys?
Yes. He says "I'm not ready" so then you take that as a literal standard and say "Fine, then I'm off to see the Wizard of Oz without you!"
What Girls Said 1
Walk away until he is ready. This is a big red flag. It'll save you 3 or 6 months down the line after you are fully invested in a relationship with him and he bails because he is "still unsure and doesn't want to hurt you".
You deserve a guy that knows he wants you and is prepared to do what it takes to be with you.
Don't sell yourself short. This guy will let you down - I can promise you that.
He was very honest with you. There is no mystery here. He told you clearly he wasn't ready for a relationship. Move onto a guy who is.
Have an opinion?

It might seem way too early, but considering the
returning starters and the teams coming back, before
Signing Day and spring ball, where does everyone
stand? Here's CFN's first look at all the teams for
2011. The 2010 CFN Final Ranking is based on the
season the team had. The 2011 First Look Ranking is
based on how good the teams appear to be at the

2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 69
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 3-9
2009 Final Ranking: 107
2008 Final Ranking: 58
It might be a bit much to call Virginia the ACC sleeper, but yeah, Mike London's team might be the surprise team of the 2011 ACC. Eight starters are back from an offense that showed good
sparks of life, and with four starters returning up front, the new starting quarterback, either Ross Metheny or Michael Rocco, should get time to work. The defensive front seven will be strong right away,
and the losses on the rest of the D aren't
74. Houston

CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 9-3
2009 Final Ranking: 18
2008 Final Ranking: 41
Welcome back, Case Keenum. After getting a sixth year of eligibility, Keenum should make the Cougar offense sing again even with a few key losses including WR James Cleveland. The defense gets seven starters back, but three starters are gone from the secondary. In Conference USA, the defensive backs have to be tight; expect some wild shootouts.
73. Indiana
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 88
2010 Record: 5-7
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 70
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 5-7
2009 Final Ranking: T99.
2008 Final Ranking: 105
Gone is Ben Chappell, but new head coach Kevin Wilson has Edward Wright-Baker at quarterback and a fabulous receiving corps led by Tandon Doss and Demarlo Belcher. Four starters are back on the offensive front, while he defense gets most of the key starters back including three players on the defensive line. The Hoosiers might not be all that great, but they'll put points on the board.
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 32
2010 Record: 11-3
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 85
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 8-5
2009 Final Ranking: 53
2008 Final Ranking: 98
2008 Final Score: 3.18
The defending Conference USA champs should be good, but they lose too much off the defense, including end Bruce Miller, to repeat. Josh Robinson will be one of the nation's top corners, and the offense gets eight starters back with QB Jeff Godfrey and RB
Latavius Murray forming a dangerous backfield. Helping the cause will be the return of 2009 star back, Brynn Harvey, after missing all of last year hurt.
71. Vanderbilt
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 111
2010 Record: 2-10
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 64
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 1-11
2009 Final Ranking: 106
2008 Final Ranking: 43
New head coach James Franklin is being a bit cryptic about what his styles will be on both sides of the ball, but he has players to work with. Vandy won't be the best team in the SEC, but it'll be the most experience with 21 starters returning including ten on offense. Can Larry Smith be the type of quarterback who can carry an offense, and will the backs produce behind a veteran line? This will be one of the league's peskiest teams, and it'll come up with a few stunning wins.
70. South
2010 CFN Final Ranking: T48.
2010 Record: 8-5
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 41
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 8-4
2009 Final Ranking: 50
2008 Final Ranking: 44
South Florida had among the worst offenses in America last year, and now it has to try to rebuild with seven starters gone. B.J. Daniels is a nice quarterback to work around, but he and the Bulls have to count on a ton of inexperienced prospects to shine right away. The defense should be fantastic with a little bit of time,
especially in the secondary.
69. Louisville
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 43
2010 Record: 7-6
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 72
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 3-9
2009 Final Ranking: 86
2008 Final Ranking: 94
Charlie Strong might have turned things around last year, but he'll have his work cut out for him with just three starters back on offense and five gone from the strong, nasty defense. The defensive tackles, Brandon Dunn and Roy Philon, should grow into something special, while the safeties have the potential to be great. None of it will matter if skill players don't show up right away this offseason. 68. Rutgers
2010 CFN Score: 73
2010 Record: 4-8
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 37
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 7-5
2009 Final Ranking: 32
2008 Final Ranking: 38
Was 2010 an aberration? It might have been, but head coach Greg Schiano has to get more out of his defense even though just five starters are back. The miserable offense of last year gets nine starters back and needs Chas Dodd to take command of the attack right away. The line has to be night and day better, and it should be with four starters back.
67. Nevada
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 9
2010 Record: 13-1
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 61
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 9-4
2009 Final Ranking: 51
2008 Final Ranking: 62
So is it the system or is it the parts? Gone is QB Colin Kaepernick, the phenomenal triggerman for the attack, and Vai Taua is done, too. However, Mike Ball is a good-looking back and Rishard Matthews will be one of the WAC's top receivers. The defense didn't come up with a stop against anyone's passing game, but three starters are back in the secondary.
66. Southern Miss
2010 CFN Final Ranking: T46.
2010 Record: 8-5
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 73

At the very least, USM will be on the short list of early Conference USA favorites with QB Austin Davis leading a loaded offense with nine starters returning. That doesn't even count WR DeAndre Brown, who left early for the NFL. The defense might be the best in the league if two new defensive tackles can be found and if the secondary can be retooled a bit.
65. Georgia Tech

Head coach Paul Johnson should have his guys in place by now, but there should be another year of transition after losing six starters from the defense, including safety Jarrard Tarrant, who left early for the NFL. The offense needs Tevin Washington to be the new option wizard, and most importantly, some new running back stars
have to emerge. With OT Nick Claytor leaving early for the NFL, the O line might be a problem.
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 61
2010 Record: 7-7

Longtime SMU fans, this might be the year you've waited decades for. Being back among the living is one thing, but winning the Conference USA title, and being good enough to hang with anyone on the schedule, is another. QB Kyle Padron leads a loaded offense that gets ten starters back, only losing star WR Aldrick Robinson. The defense gets back eight starters, and while the linebacking corps takes a hit, the front seven should be sound.
63. Cincinnati
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 75

Butch Jones might have far more success in his second year with all 11 starters returning on a defense that was full of sophomores last year. Despite losing a slew of starters, the offense should be dangerous with QB Zach Collaros and RB Isaiah Pead
leading the way. The problem, though, will be an
offensive line that loses three starters
62. Toledo
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 68
2010 Record: 8-5
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 92
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 5-7
2009 Final Ranking: 91
2008 Final Ranking: 107
Toledo wasn't good at much of anything in 2010 other than winning. This year's team, though, should be a true challenger for the MAC title with 19 starters returning including WR Eric Page and all the skill players. A few good starters are gone off the offensive line, and LB Archie Donald is done from the defense, but the bowl team from last year is loaded.
61. Colorado
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 80
2010 Record: 5-7
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 50
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 7-5
2009 Final Ranking: T99.
2008 Final Ranking: 76
With plenty of experience returning, new head coach Jon Embree enters Pac 12 play with one of the stronger Buff teams in years. However, there's still a talent gap that needs a few
recruiting cycles to fill. The spotlight will be on
QB Tyler Hansen to see if he can hang on to the job, but the defense should be decent if the veteran front four can control games early on. Rodney Stewart will be one of the Pac 10's better backs.
60. Kentucky
2010 CFN Ranking: 70
2010 Record: 6-7
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 46
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 6-6
2009 Final Ranking: 55
2008 Final Ranking: 57
Joker Phillips gets back eight starters on defense including LB Danny Trevathan, who should've been in the All-America mix last year will get his due this season. The offense, though, will be a work in progress hoping that QB Morgan Newton looks better than he did in the bowl game, while RB Derrick Locke is gone as is do-it-all receiver Randall Cobb, who left early for the NFL. The offensive line gets four starters back.
59. Purdue
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 79
2010 Record: 4-8
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 49
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 6-6
2009 Final Ranking: 71
2008 Final Ranking: 85
Is this the year Purdue finally catches a break? After seemingly every star offensive player getting hurt, now there's experience returning with QB Rob Henry being thrown to the first over the second half of last year working behind a line that gets four starters back. All-America DE Ryan Kerrigan is gone off the
defensive front, but nine starters are back including the entire secondary and a group of tackles that were way too young last year, but are big and promising coming into this season.
58. Connecticut (8-5)
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 8-5
2010 Record: 8-5
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 36
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 7-5
2009 Final Ranking: 36
2008 Final Ranking: 48
Randy Edsall might be gone, and there still might not be any semblance of a passing game, but there are some very, very nice pieces to work with. Nine starters are back on
defense including the entire front four and the whole secondary, but losing linebackers Scott Lutrus and Lawrence Wilson isn't a plus. RB Jordan Todman is gone off the offense as is QB Zach Frazer. The O will need tuning up.
57. Northern Illinois
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 25
2010 Record: 11-3

CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 9-3

Wisconsin defensive coordinator Dave Doeren has a ton of work to do with a defense that loses seven starters, including end Jake Coffman and linebacker Alex Kube. However, NIU should have a devastating offense with nine returning starters including QB Chandler Harnish, who might be the preseason MAC player of the year, and all five starters up front. Good luck, though, quickly replacing RB Chad Spann.
56. Pitt
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 30

Can Todd Graham get the Panthers over the hump? He might have had a chance had RB Dion Lewis and WR Jonathan Baldwin not turned pro early on, but Ray Graham is a good-looking back and QB Tino Sunseri is ... Ray Graham is a good-looking back. The defense should be terrific with a linebacking corps that should be among the best in the Big East. 55. Navy

It's all about Kriss Proctor. He's not the passer that Ricky Dobbs was, but if he can run the attack efficiently, with eight starters returning, Navy will be Navy again. Six starters are gone from the defense
including LB Tyler Simmons and a chunk of the defensive front, but the biggest pain will be losing Rover Wyatt Middleton from the secondary.
54. Washington
2010 CFN Final Ranking: T46.
2010 Record: 7-6

Is it possible to be better without Jake Locker? With eight starters back on defense, it's possible that the Huskies win low scoring battles for a while until Keith Prince or Nick Montana gets the hang of the attack. Chris Polk should be one of the Pac 10's top running backs and WR Jermaine Kearse, while
inconsistent, has the potential to be special.
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 90
2010 Record: 4-8

The desperation should be palpable as Rick Neuheisel tries to finally generate some semblance of an offense. The defense would've been an absolute bear if LB Akeem Ayers and safety Rahim
Moore hadn't gone off to the NFL, but it should
still be strong with eight starters coming back.
Seven starters return on offense, but all that matters is if the quarterback play and the passing game can be stronger. RB Johnathan Franklin will try to carry the attack for a while ... again.
52. North Carolina
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 53
2010 Record: 8-5
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 13
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 9-3
2009 Final Ranking: 31
2008 Final Ranking: 26
This might be the type of team that becomes dangerous as the year goes on. The plus from all the suspensions in 2010 is the experience brought in to 2011, but still, the Tar Heels have to replace five starters on defense and QB T.J. Yates and five starters off the offense. The defensive front seven should be a brick wall by the middle of the season with six young
returning starters still jelling.
51. Michigan State
2010 CFN Final Ranking: 11
2010 Record: 11-2
2010 CFN Preseason Rank: 31
CFN 2010 Preseason Prediction: 9-3

That was fun while it lasted. It's not like the Spartans are going to fall off the map, and QB Kirk Cousins should keep the offense from collapsing, but the offensive line will need a little while to pave the way for a great looking group of backs. The defense loses linebackers Greg Jones and Eric Gordon and needs work in the secondary. The D line should grow to be terrific in time.

Chad Henne will start Sunday. Based on performance Sunday. #jaguars — John Oehser (@JohnOehser) November 19, 2012 As expected, Mike Mularkey has announced that Chad Henne will start at quarterback next weekend against the Tennessee Titans. Even though Henne's completion percentage against the Texans on Sunday was low (48%), Henne was proficient in pushing the ball down the field, something the Texans were ill-prepared to handle. The Jaguars' offense was better yesterday than it had been all season long, and it's no surprise that Henne got the nod.

text: International Conflict Episodes, 1945-1979 Alker, Hayward R. Sherman, Frank L. alliances conflict resolution diplomacy international conflict international relations military strenth world politics ICPSR.III.B IDRC.I The dynamics of international conflict events are outlined in this collection, with a focus on sequences of events and the roles played by conflict management agents. Each conflict episode is divided into a number of phases--each designating a level of conflict--with a separate record for each phase of each case. The possible levels of conflict range from a quarrel or disagreement claimed by one party to be of international significance (phase 1: dispute) to military action (phase 3: hostilities) to a resolution of the conflict (phase 6: settlement). Also emphasized are referrals by conflict actors, i.e., initiatives to bring a case to the attention of a potential conflict manager. The collection is divided into five datasets: (1) a case overview, providing for each case such data as the number of phases and referrals, the presence of management agents, and probable outcome had there been no manager, (2) phase-specific information, including for each phase data on dates, interests at stake, actions taken, alliances, and extent of damages, (3) referral data, including agents involved and support for or opposition to each initiative, (4) data on conflict management agents, detailing the identity, degree of bias, and primary role of each agent, and (5) management agent actions, listing the types of action taken by each agent. 2006-01-18 event/transaction data 8303 10.3886/ICPSR08303.v1 (1) MANAGING INTERSTATE CONFLICT, 1945-74: DATA WITH SYNOPSES, and (2) MANAGING INTERSTATE CONFLICT, 1975-79: DATA WITH SYNOPSES Global 1945--1979 ICPSR metadata records are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 3.0 United States License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/us/).

Jericho has been an advocate for DDP Yoga since he used it to return to WWE after suffering a herniated disc when he did Dancing With the Stars. - We've been covering the news coming out of Dragon Gate USA star Sami Callihan's WWE dark match on Tuesday night before the SmackDown tapings. It's said that Callihan has several fans within WWE and he has been on their radar for some time now. Callihan received good reviews on his attitude and his ring work but as noted before, his size may be a problem. Source: Wrestling Observer Newsletter

I usually don't read Charles Stross' blog, but I saw a post linked from Brian Wang's blog, which I read all the time, so I checked it out. It's Stross' "21st century FAQ", where he says the 21st century will be "pretty much what you read about in New Scientist every week", something I would just laugh at and ignore if it weren't the case that so many transhumanists read Stross' books. It's important to criticize this statement because the way we handle the 21st century will be based on how we anticipate it, and if we expect it to be more of the same, we'll be blindsided by the civilization-transforming changes to come.
After saying everything will pretty much be the same for the next 91 years, Stross mentions "unknown unknowns", which are "possible sources of existential surprise", and points to "biotechnology, nanotechnology, AI, climate change, supply chain/logistics breakthroughs to rival the shipping container, fork lift pallet, bar code, and RFID chip". The interesting thing is that many of these so-called "unknown unknowns" are not very unknown at all. Yes, they could unfold in unknown ways, but we see press releases and headlines every single day that point to near-term major advances in all these areas (except climate change — that's not really a technology). Brian Wang does a particularly good job of covering these at his blog, as do the people behind the KurzweilAI.net news feed, and of course the science super-sites of PhysOrg and Eurekalert.
There is no huge surprise. Biotechnology, nanotechnology, AI, and major advances in supply chain/logistics will predictably deliver massive disruptive changes in the next 25 years or less. Synthetic biology is taking off as we speak, and nanotechnology will soon begin having a major impact that will become abruptly obvious in our daily life. Artificial Intelligence is less predictable, but the AI winter has long thawed and the way that affordable computing is approaching the computational capacity of the human brain demands attention. The combination of cheap ubiquitous sensors and facial-recognition AI in the late 2010s or early 2020s will lead to a huge wake-up call about the inevitability of transparency. Today, unsolved murders in major cities are routine. In 10 to 15 years, they will be confined to private buildings and other places where ubiquitous public cameras don't exist.
Synthetic biology will lead to major energy breakthroughs by 2025. Any day now there will be an announcement that Mycoplasma laboratorium exists and is self-replicating in a petri dish, and the era of artificial life will begin. After that, the organism will be custom-tweaked for producing biofuels, or whatever else its creators can implement using the synthetic biology toolbox. The "wonder bacterium" and "Microbesoft" may not emerge overnight, but will emerge in 10 to 20 years, tops. To say that there will not be a major, world-transforming technological revolution from synthetic biology in the next 91 years is to massively underestimate the disruptive potential of rewriting the book of life. This is not an "unknown unknown". This is predictable massive disruption. Fossil fuels will still be used because of their excellent energy density, but bio-manufactured fuels will grow to 50% of the energy pie or greater.
Progress in nanotechnology will either speed up to a pace reminiscent of the microchip revolution in the 1980s and 1990s, if molecular nanotechnology is difficult or impossible, or to a pace greater than 10 times that of the microchip revolution, if molecular nanotechnology can be achieved in the next couple decades. If MNT based on engineering principles and rigid nanostructures proves impossible, then another type of MNT based on bio-inspired designs will emerge instead, somewhat later than hoped for, but certainly before the end of the century. This will permit high-throughput, decentralized, personalized manufacturing for dirt cheap all over the world, and is likely to happen before 2040 or 2050, not 2100.
The only events which will stop these massively disruptive technological milestones are either comprehensive planetary backlashes or a Singularity from recursively self-improving Artificial Intelligence or Brain-Computer Interface-derived superintelligence. That's the other thing in Stross' post that I strongly disagree with: he calls the Singularity the "rapture of the nerds" and says it "is likely to be a non-participatory event for 99.999% of humanity — unless we're very unlucky. If it happens and it's interested in us, all our plans go out the window". It seems unlikely that Stross could annoy me more with these two sentences if he custom-designed them for my annoyance. Issues:
1) The Singularity is not "the Rapture of the Nerds". It is a very likely event defined as the technological creation of greater-than-human intelligence. Its likelihood comes from two facts: that intelligence is inherently something that can be engineered and enhanced, and that the technologies capable of doing so already exist in nascent forms today. Even if qualitatively higher intelligence turns out to be impossible, the ability to copy intelligence as a computer program or share, store, and generate ideas using brain-to-brain computer-mediated interfaces alone would be enough to magnify any capacity based on human thought (technology, science, logistics, art, philosophy, spirituality) by two to three orders of magnitude if not far more.
2) If superintelligence were created, how could it possibly keep itself to 99.999% of humanity? Either it will not be created and impact 0% of humanity or it will be created and impact 100%. Inventions created by even average human engineers and scientists have found their way to every corner of the Earth. How could inventions created by qualitatively superior intelligence not find usage around the world? If the superintelligence were created using process X, what is to stop the creators of the process from applying it to anyone who is sufficiently interested? Even if they kept it to their little group, they would likely impact 100% of humanity in a negative way, by monopolizing the world economy.
3) Stross hints that if the Singularity impacts more than 0.001% of humanity, we're necessarily unlucky. Maybe this is because he believes in the strong version of the Event Horizon thesis, where the Singularity is necessarily unknowable and therefore bad? Why can't unknowable be good? In any case, I disagree with the strong Event Horizon thesis — in this formulation of the Singularity ("everything is unknowable, and let's not try to know it"), the outcome is equally good/bad whether the superintelligence (SI) that sparks the Singularity is derived from Hitler or Ghandi. This is false, so Stross' conception of the Singularity is false. Even a supreme SI will be a product of its starting motivations, even if those motivations have folded over themselves a million times. Once you realize that facts and values are fundamentally different things, you see that values are arbitrary and facts are not, so a variety of different SIs with varying moralities are possible, though we have an interest to create human-friendly SIs only and expect those SIs to prevent the creation of human-unfriendly SIs. The starting motivations of an intelligence will necessarily be somewhat preserved by the intelligence as it bootstraps itself to superintelligence. We can maximize the probability of a beneficial outcome by creating Friendly AI or coming up with some human intelligence enhancement scheme that reinforces benevolence. Not knowing the outcome for sure is not an excuse not to try, and there are reasons to believe that an attempt at benevolence will pay off. Any self-transparent intelligence with the ability to edit its own source code is more likely to be able to retain its core morality (which, by definition, it wants) than its external environment will be likely to force a change upon it.
The Singularity is not necessarily some inscrutable superintelligent monolith. It would be a being or collection of beings which could either make our lives radically better or snuff them out very quickly. Ensuring the former is humanity's #1 priority right now. Rising sea levels and warming ecosystems, while environmentally very troubling, are not nearly as serious as the whole of mankind being annihilated by an entity smarter than it.
The impact of superintelligence could be entirely antithetical to its origin: pre-Singularity technology. Like does not necessarily proceed from like. A flower does not look like a seed. The products of superintelligence need not look like the supercomputer it was originally run on. A superintelligence working to reshape the world in a way that humans actually like might green the deserts, clean the environment, and promote decentralization so that humans could enjoy the planet more fully and utilize its space in the most parsimonious possible way. Take Stross' idealized future, the 2100 he would prefer more than any other option, and a superintelligence could conceive that and help implement it, also considering the idealized futures of every other human being on the planet. If humans are useful for thinking of and implementing positive futures, then a superintelligence will be even more useful. To malign human-friendly superintelligence would be to malign humans in the very same sentence, because anything that human-friendly humans could do, human-friendly superintelligence could do better. (Of course, you could malign the very idea of superintelligence if you think it's impossible, but if you do accept the premise, then you cannot reject human-friendly superintelligence without rejecting humanity itself.)
All our plans will predictably go out the window because the Singularity (superintelligence) will predictably be created in the 21st century. The only "unknown" part is whether we create superintelligence with initial motivations that cause it to self-improve and wipe us out or with motivations that cause it to self-improve and be on our side. If there's no way of setting up initial motivations such that it helps us, then we are doomed unless we install a worldwide totalitarian government to outlaw all computers and prevent the creation of superintelligence forever. Good luck.
Stross says, "If [the Singularity] it doesn't happen, sitting around waiting for the AIs to save us from the rising sea level/oil shortage/intelligent bioengineered termites looks like being a Real Bad Idea". Is it really "sitting around" if you're actively working towards AI by spreading knowledge and raising support and funds, or learning math or cognitive science in an attempt to formulate a theory that actually has a chance of working with present-day computing power? Hardly. It's not as if AGI research is taking up a major proportion of the NSF budget or venture capital dollars — even on the principle of "we should try as many routes to helping the world as possible" alone, it seems worthwhile to support AI research for potentially leading to solutions to major problems. Even if AGI research magically fails because the aliens running our simulation keep messing up the software at the last second, it could lead to applications and software programs that provide tremendous assistance in moving us in the direction of more advanced energy technologies, resource utilization schemes, monitoring synthetic biology for rogue biohackers, and the environment for invasive organisms.
Stross implies that there are people sitting around waiting for AI to happen. Who? Even Kurzweil says that AI will emerge out of the hard work of millions of people and thousands of companies. The notion that there are people around Waiting for the Rapture is an invention of Stross and Doctorow, designed to throw more flair into their science fiction stories. Such people are fictional characters, and that's how they've been used. They don't exist in the real world. The "nerds" who are "waiting for the Rapture" seem suspiciously often to be entrepreneurs and leaders in science and technology.
Stross says the big picture of the 21st century will be that most of us live in cities, an observation so tepid that it makes one wonder how he is a science fiction writer. What about immersive virtual reality? Or the human species taking control of its own evolution? Or software and robotic systems so advanced that many of today's jobs are rendered obsolete? Or the way that we'll be able to observe the neural correlates of the details of human experience and look closely into our own dreams and thoughts? In Stross' 21st century, will none of these things actually happen? Good thing science and technology aren't bounded by the imaginations of humans in 2009.
At the end of the FAQ, Stross asks, "Are we going to survive?", then answers, "No — in the long run, we are all dead. That goes for us as individuals and as a species." This is same boring deathist drumbeat that I've been rallying against since I could conceive of the human body as a machine that can be repaired in principle, and especially since I co-founded the Immortality Institute in 2002. This is the defeatist mantra that evaporates the second you hear Aubrey de Grey give a talk, or read a news release about aging being stopped in an entire organ, or view the list of prestigious scientists that support the mission of the Methuselah Foundation. Charles Stross may be a pessimist about achieving longevity escape velocity, but the rest of us are going to fight a War on Aging, and receive the constant attention of the world media en route to success.
(I decided to remove an entire section here insulting Stross' sci-fi writing, because I realized it was inappropriate to mix criticism of futurism and criticism of fiction in the same post.)
Maybe Stross is a great guy in person. I don't know him. But I can say that I wildly disagree with both his futurism and his approach to sci-fi. (Insofar as I care about sci-fi at all, which, honestly, is not a whole lot.)

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) -- Jacksonville State's Shanika Freeman set a women's NCAA record by making 22 consecutive free throws in a game Thursday night.
Freeman went 22-of-22 at the line against Florida Atlantic, breaking the previous single-game mark of 20 in a row held by two players. Kristeena Alexander of George Mason did it against Central Florida in 1996. Liz Beggs of Kent State tied the mark against St. Bonaventure in 2000.
Florida Atlantic still won the game, 96-83.
"It's OK, but we still would have liked to have won," Freeman said. "The last couple of games I would shoot a lot of free throws after the shootaround. Guess it paid off."
The men's single-game record is 24 consecutive set by Oklahoma State's Arlen Clark in 1952.
Freeman, a 6-foot-1 sophomore center from Chattanooga, Tenn., finished the game with a career-high 42 points on 10-of-17 shooting. She added 13 rebounds, three blocks and two steals.

Johnson's chances for sixth title improve
The Long Beach Grand Prix is April 13.
The schedule includes 12 road races and six oval races.
In other changes:
--Michael Andretti's team shifts from Chevy to Honda engines in 2014 while Chip Ganassi Racing goes from Honda to Chevy power.
--Juan Pablo Montoya, the 2000 winner of the Indianapolis 500, returns to IndyCar after a 13-season absence to become a teammate to Will Power and Helio Castroneves at Penske Racing.
--Tony Kanaan, the winner of the 2013 Indy 500, moves to Ganassi Racing to join 2014 and three-time series champion Scott Dixon, Dario Franchitti and Charlie Kimball.
What IndyCar really needs is a new television contract. The racing is the most competitive in motorsports. But the ratings on the NBC Sports Network are abysmal. ABC is considering expanding its coverage in 2014.

I was reading one of the PE stories on your website where the lady developed high blood pressure in her pregnancy and it was blamed on stressful relationships that she was involved in...once again blaming the mother for the problem. Around here, we never blame the mother for PE, particularly when it comes to the mother inducing her own high blood pressure, or not eating the right foods.

WASHINGTON — US President Barack Obama rallied support for a stalled nuclear treaty from former Secretary of State Colin Powell Wednesday, as Republican lawmakers indicated a greater willingness to ratify the agreement with Russia by the end of the year.Both Obama and Powell warned of grave consequences if the Senate fails to ratify the New START pact, which would reduce how many strategic warheads the United States and Russia could hold and set up a system so each could inspect and verify the other's arsenal.RELATED:Jewish Democrats press AIPAC on STARTOpinion: The irrelevance of START"When you have uncertainty in the area of nuclear weapons, that's a much more dangerous world to live in," Obama said from the Oval Office after a meeting with Powell and Vice President Joe Biden.

Republicans have long seen themselves as synonymous with America, and everyone else as deviant and marginal.
The report made reference to "the deviant group," the preferred euphemism that state-run media there uses for al Qaeda.
The "deviant trend" is a title used by those who oppose Ahmadinejad to describe certain people close to him, including Mashaei.
c.1400, from Late Latin deviantem (nominative devians), present participle of deviare "turn aside," from Latin phrase de via, from de "off" (see de-) + via "way" (see via). The noun meaning "one that deviates" is from late 15c.; in the sexual sense, from 1952; also deviate (n.), recorded since 1912.
deviant de·vi·ant (dē'vē-ənt)
Differing from a norm or from the accepted standards of a society. n.
One that differs from a norm, especially a person whose behavior and attitudes differ from accepted social standards.

The Supreme Court's majority opinion, as much as the dissent, shows that the state should not be permitted to execute its citizens.
EPA rules limiting toxic air pollution emissions would have prevented thousands of cases of asthma, birth defects and other health problems.
In spite of their differing perceptions of the architecture of the totalitarian superstate and how it exercises power and control over its residents, George Orwell and Aldous Huxley shared a fundamental conviction. They both argued that the established democracies of the West were moving quickly toward a historical moment when they would willingly relinquish the noble promises and ideals of liberal democracy and enter that menacing space where totalitarianism perverts the modern ideals of justice, freedom and political emancipation. Both believed that Western democracies were devolving into pathological states in which politics was recognized in the interest of death over life and justice. Both were unequivocal in the shared understanding that the future of civilization was on the verge of total domination or what Hannah Arendt called "dark times."
The recent decision in Johnson v. United States reinforces the need to address sentencing policies that have lengthened prison terms and contributed to mass incarceration. At the federal level, Congress can address sentencing enhancements that lengthen statutory punishments.
Where once they were mostly hidden away in the dark corners of the internet, at members-only conferences, backwoods barbeques and rallies in small towns, white nationalist groups are facing heightened scrutiny since Dylann Storm Roof murdered nine African Americans.

After an hour long meeting between Harry Reid, Mitch McConnell, Nancy Pelosi and Speaker John Boehner Saturday evening, there still appears to be no deal. Reid is claiming the Senate will not negotiate a short term budget deal despite Boehner's earlier calls for a plan before 2 pm on Sunday afternoon.
From Roll Call:
The hastily-convened meeting in Speaker John Boehner's offices included Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
The quartet is trying to hammer out a final debt deal before Aug. 2, when the Treasury Department says the nation may not be able to pay all its bills without an increase in borrowing authority. Lawmakers and their staffs are expected to work through the weekend to try to resolve the impasse over raising the debt limit and assembling an accompanying deficit reduction plan.
An earlier gathering of leaders at the White House lasted less than an hour and did not produce significant progress.
One of the sticking points appears to be whether Congress should pass a short-term debt ceiling increase.
On Saturday evening, Reid reaffirmed that he would "not support any short-term agreement, and neither will President [Barack] Obama nor Leader Pelosi. We seek an extension of the debt ceiling through at least the end of 2012."
House Republicans have discussed a short-term deal in the range of $1 trillion, with accompanying spending cuts. Democrats have consistently said they would oppose such a measure, although Obama said he would consider signing a very brief stopgap only if a long-term deal was near being finalized.

EMANUEL: No, he asked me -- he said about the policy guidance, and that was the answer I gave to the policy guidance.
GIBSON: And he then followed up and asked specifically about those who devised the policies. And you said the president wants to go forward and...
EMANUEL: And that's what I'm saying here, Charlie.
GIBSON: And yet -- all right. I'll drop it, because I'm not going to get anywhere with it.
EMANUEL: Keen insight there.
GIBSON: Let me go back -- I mean, I can quote the exchange, but I don't have the time. Let me give you a final question.
Looking back on 100 days, is there one significant adjustment or tweak that you and the administration will make in the way you approach governing?
EMANUEL: Well, I think in the way we approach, you know, it is -- first of all, you learn something every day. That's what's interesting. And the goal here is to always be open and not just get set in your patterns, but be open to learning, because you're going to -- there's things that happen every day. No one day is the same.
But, you know, the president came -- when we were first here, we spent a lot of time in Washington. And as you remember, in the Recovery Act, we went to Indiana, went to Florida. And today, as you and I are talking, the president's in Missouri.
And of all those instances he held a town hall. So Washington remembered that the conversation we're having is not between this end of Pennsylvania Avenue and that end of Pennsylvania Avenue. It's that Washington remembered the most important conversation is between us and the American people, and that their wishes, their challenges, their needs are met.
And it's not for us to just go out of the beltway so we can get out there, and the president of the United States will meet with the American people. That is important, but it's also so that Washington remembers that the conversation is not between two ends of Pennsylvania Avenue. The most important dialogue we have is that Washington understands what's happening in the country matters to the decisions they make here. And I think it's constantly -- we remember here, and always make sure that that conversation between what happens in the Oval Office, what happens around the kitchen table, is a direct dialogue so they know that there's somebody here watching their back and making sure that the decisions made have their interest at heart.
GIBSON: That's a tweak you made in the 100 days. You've changed the way you approach this. Stop dealing with Congress so directly. Went out, went over their heads, in effect.
EMANUEL: Well, I think what we did -- and I don't want to reduce it to a tactic, because there was a philosophy. There's an approach; it's not a tactic.
It was a sense -- it is easy -- look, I've been in the White House, I've been in Congress, I've also been in the private sector. It's very easy to make -- to think that this is a conversation between Congress and the White House. It is not.
There's a third party. And that third party's the most important party. And make sure that that -- their interests and their ability to speak up and be heard in that conversation is why we're here.
GIBSON: Rahm, appreciate it. Thanks very much.
EMANUEL: Thanks a lot. Yes.

I wanted to champion the cause of people in dire need of a champion. That is why my practice focuses on the needs of consumers.
I am a better lawyer because I've experienced many lifestyles, from being a machinist mate in the U.S. Navy to being a Manager of Business and Legal Affairs for a Cable Television Network. Because of this life experience, I understand people from all walks of life, and this makes me a better communicator.
The modern American consumer is under attack by economic forces. No group needs a champion more, and no group is more deserving of a champion. I chose to champion the cause of this deserving group of Americans.
Knowing that I make a real and positive difference in the lives of families is what I like most about my career.
I am a solo practitioner, so I work individually with all my clients. Because of this, I have a better knowledge of the details of each client's case.
People who take an active interest in their lives make great clients. The educated client is better able to understand legal complexities, and that makes for better communication between attorney and client.
I am happy to review documents prepared by clients.
I am willing to coach clients who want to represent themselves.
I started out in Entertainment Law, working first with Morgan Creek Productions, Inc. and then moving to Fox Family Channel as the network's promotional attorney. After Disney bought Fox Family Channel, I moved to the Central Valley and started my own bankruptcy practice in 2008.

My greatest strength is my non-judgmental style. My own life has been a winding path and I know mistakes are only the lessons along life's path.
Because I don't judge, I am able to hear both the facts my clients share with me, and often the concerns they don't express directly.
I love tennis, books, movies, and the novel I'm writing.
