Re: Only called Neurons
Indeed, and for the brain stuff, you wanna go to: Blue Brain Project.
What is intelligence exactly? If someone gives me a spec, I'll have a slow AI running on my server once I implement it.
Clearly this question does not make sense, except when the acceptable answer would be that it is the capability to solve problems better than initially expected.
Exactly ultimately how is this different from Transputers? Other than simpler elements and more of them using smaller geometry?
It is the number that counts. Upgrading by a few orders of magnitude allows you to run more interesting experiments.

The spring training-long sputtering of the Twins' offense continued on Friday as they lost 4-0 to the Boston Red Sox.
They managed just seven hits off of lefthander Felix Dubront and the Red Sox bullpen, but had some real chances to score. They had two men on base in the first, fourth and fifth innings but lacked the key hit.
The fourth and fifth innings were particularly troubling. Aaron Hicks and Eduardo Escobar led off the fourth with singles, but Pedro Florimon, Jason Bartlett and Joe Mauer followed with strikeouts.
Trevor Plouffe singled and Josh Willingham walked to lead off the fifth, but Chris Colabello struck out, Josmil Pinto flied out and Hicks struck out to end that threat.
Meanwhile, the Red Sox picked away at Twins righthander Phil Hughes, who gave four runs over 51/3 innings on 10 hits and one walk.
Mike Napoli hit a solo home off of him in the sixth on a hanging breaking ball. Other than a few misplaced curveballs,
Hughes announced himself ready for the season. Not sure if anyone is ready to announce that about the Twins offense.

NEW YORK — As consumers think about the convenience occasion as one continuum, PepsiCo plans to be prepared with both beverages and snacks that meet demand. It's all part of the company's Power of One strategy, said Indra Nooyi, chairman and chief executive officer.
In a May 29 presentation at the Sanford C Bernstein Strategic Decisions Conference in New York, Ms. Nooyi said Doritos Tacos Locos have been a shining example of Purchase, N.Y.-based PepsiCo Inc.'s Power of One strategy, in which the company has combined its food and beverage brands. The success of Doritos Tacos Locos was a direct result of PepsiCo's long-term partnership with Taco Bell, Mountain Dew and all of the beverages PepsiCo has launched with Taco Bell over the years, Ms. Nooyi said.
Looking into the future, Ms. Nooyi said the lines between snacks and beverages will blur even more.
"I don't know if Naked Juice is a snack or a beverage," she said. "Many beverages, as they get more viscous, are eating into the snacks occasion, and many snacks that used to be consumed as a dry snack are now being eaten in different ways. So think about our business as being drinkable, spreadable and one-hand consumable."
For example, she pointed to Quaker Real Medleys, which is a spoonable product that also will be a bar and may someday be a drinkable beverage.

(Source: Press Release)
Sentinel Maritime has been appointed by the European Commission Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport to study the impact (including the financial consequences) of extending security measures to ships which currently do not fall within the scope of SOLAS Chapter XI/2 and the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code.
The Study has been given the name "Project SecureSeas." The study is, in part, a response to the growing concern that such ships may pose as serious or more serious a threat than ships currently within the scope of the ISPS Code. Apart from the terrorist attacks carried out by "non-ISPS" vessels on the "USS Cole" and "MT Limburg", or their use in the attack on Mumbai, "non-ISPS" ships are frequently used in human trafficking as well as smuggling drugs and contraband.
As a first step, Sentinel has been tasked to assess the current "state of play" in the EU Member States as far as non-SOLAS ships are concerned. The study will collate information on member state compliance with Article 3.3 of Regulation 725/2004, procedures for registering vessels, the means for reporting security concerns and the numbers and distribution of vessels which could be covered by any new regulations. The study will also examine the possibility of introducing a computerized register of ships which might include recreational/pleasure ships as well as commercial vessels.
Sentinel will also study the potential application within the EU of the guidelines on the security aspects of the operation of non-ISPS vessels adopted by the International Maritime Organisation on 22 December 2008. In large part, these guidelines use the framework of the ISPS Code to recommend best practice for non-ISPS operators and by security authorities when dealing with non-ISPS vessels. The guidelines consist of two parts, the first part for IMO Member States and other for authorities responsible for administering non-ISPS ships and the second part for operators of non-ISPS vessels and related facilities. These guidelines recognize four distinct categories of vessels, each with different risk profiles and best practice risk management procedures.
1. commercial non-passenger and special purpose vessels;
2. passenger vessels;
3. fishing vessels; and
4. pleasure craft.
The study is placing a special emphasis on recreational/pleasure ships with a view to assessing the impact and feasibility of changes to the registration process of non-SOLAS ships, and the benefits offered by a computerised database for the registration of non-SOLAS ships.
Given the vast number of non-commercial pleasure boats, extending security requirements to these smaller vessels would have a significant impact on a whole gamut of stakeholders and Sentinel is reaching out to the boating community for its input. There is a new website being launched, which will allow stakeholders to share their views and to add to the body of knowledge available. By taking part and sharing data and information through www.secureseas.net the shipping, boating and maritime industry stakeholders within the EU can help protect their borders while safeguarding their commercial interests and their rights to the boating experience they deserve.
Interested parties should contact Raymond Gibbons at Sentinel Maritime Ltd - firstname.lastname@example.com or 01993 822303 for more information.

GXR + Leica 75mm 'Lux (Carl's cam, take 2)
One objective of prying the GXR out of Carl's grasp was to see how well a fast lens would perform. I have a couple of those, and was using the Leica 75mm Summilux today, mostly trying f1.4. It was sunny here in upstate NY, and of course f1.4 is completely silly under those circumstances, but some of the results are ok I think. All handheld, base ISO, and whatever settings Carl has adopted as his own. Again, I bypassed 90% of what the camera can do, and just focussed on, well, the art focussing such a fast lens. There were plenty of failures when using the back screen, but Carl shrewdly bought the EVF, which helped quite a bit in bright sunlight.
Here are a couple of snaps again, all in the f1.4 to 1.8 range (I don't seem to get proper lens-related EXIF on the apertures used...might be buried in some menu I suppose)
Focussing on the front railing (success, more or less)
Taken at F2 as I recall - this one is tack sharp, every scratch on that glass is resolved
A bit soft (shallow DoF is all very nice, but it has to culminate somewhere in a sharp focal plane, which isn't really the case here)
This one is a bit better (shutter speed around 1/55)
Something artistic (very sharp focal plane, f1.4)
I've got a couple more lenses to test out, but I'm sure by now Carl will be annoyed with my unworthy efforts and will want his GXR back, with interest.
Thank you.

The Revd Richard Church, Ms Francis Brienen and the Revd Fiona Thomas presented Paper M1 Missional Discipleship.
The paper presents the proposals – a joint initiative of the mission and discipleship departments – as a move towards whole-life discipleship, grounded in a deep lived experience of Jesus Christ. 'It is,' said Mr Church, 'an emphasis that will inform every agenda of the church.'

Writing through: National Novel Writing Month
This November, the Journal-World examines local novelists' journeys through the 30-day writing adventure known as National Novel Writing Month.
As their writing unfolds, so will this story. Check back to meet writers, observe how they evolve, find out what NaNoWriMo is all about and see how the Lawrence community takes on the 50,000-word challenge.
Story opens in a new window.
Charting progress
As a lot of NaNo writers will tell you: The key is the word count. Like running a marathon, some writers' goal is just to finish, which means hitting 50,000 words or 1,667 words per day in 30 days. Four novelists, two veterans and two first-timers, let us chart their progress here. Click each node to see how many words they wrote in that day.
In his sixth NaNo, local artist and photographer Dave DeHetre is writing for himself: "This year I think I'll have less of an audience focus while I'm writing."
Jane Schinkel is a 15-year-old Free State High School student who loves to write. It's her first time in NaNoWriMo and she doesn't know if she'll finish but she anticipates "stress, exhilaration, sleep deprivation, success."
Jason Arnett started as a comic-book writer minus the comics. His sixth NaNoWriMo project is a sequel to a previous NaNo novel.
Lawyer Jessica Whittamore finally has the time to dedicate to NaNo. It's her first time and though she says she may not reach the goal, her aim to get the habit of writing down pat.

My family visits the Outer Banks of North Carolina on a fairly regular basis in the summer and fall. However, this was our first Christmas venture to the region, and we knew there would be a different set of priorities. So, instead of the more remote Corolla settings like Ocean Hill, we decided to go to the Four Seasons Community in Duck, one of the older settlements.
Late Sunday night driving time from Philadelphia was six and a half hours; coming home, well, that's another story. Anyway, the eight bedroom house was cozy and welcoming, plus already mostly full with my sister and her family; they had arrived Saturday, as we were given a Saturday to the following Sunday "week". (Nice!)
Our home for the week, Beach House on the Moon, is set back from the road and the trees are quite grown up around it, so there's privacy and a nice woodsy feel to the setting. The beach is a bit of a walk away, down a walkway that goes past back yards and is rather a nice walk in itself, but of course it wasn't really beach weather. The huge indoor pool in the community center right next door did just fine for the swimmers, and the house's hot tub was used a fair amount, too. There's a playground near the beach where the kids played (including the 20 year olds!) but the house and community center filled most of our time, along with, of course, playing with the new Christmas games and toys.
This was Baby E's first Christmas, and he seemed to enjoy it a lot: forget the toys, go for the tablets and iPhones. It cracks me up to see a bald baby--who walks like a penguin with good posture and who's only got four teeth--find his way around on a computer. (He's got that slide thing down pat.) Little J and the Princess were quite involved with their PlayDoh toys, and the older kids did the board/card game gathering each night.
We didn't end up going out to dinner, but we did eat well. Harris Teeter Supermarket isn't too far away, and they're pretty well supplied. For Christmas, sis had brought down a huge smoked ham from her local butcher, and the kitchen was well equipped to handle the full meal. (Two stoves, two dishwashers, two microwaves, three coffeepots--plus all the pots, pans, dishes and such that you need.) Our one excursion out was to Duck Doughnuts, where they have a little assembly line where the doughnuts are baked fresh. They even had one in the assortment with crumbled bacon; not sure who was brave enough for that one! They're cake-style doughnuts, and quite tasty when fresh.
It was really a lovely time, and I can recommend the area for Christmas week. Even though we didn't do much, there wasn't any problem in getting what we needed and there were options available if we had wanted to venture out more. I wanted to write this little report as there wasn't a whole lot of info on the OBX at Christmas, so I thought I'd add my bit! We had 18 "kids", evenly divided between the over 12's and under 12's. and both groups seemed to enjoy themselves quite a lot. We've had more active previous Christmas weeks (Pocono Mts, a Philadelphia stay, Pittsburgh) but they're all very fond of the OBX and enjoyed the leisurely time off from school, college, and work--or, in the case of the two youngest, the time off from home!

Our Christmas Week in Duck
My family visits the Outer Banks of North Carolina on a fairly regular basis in the summer and fall.

I enjoyed reading your Christmas report. We keep saying we want to go to the Outer Banks and your report makes me think it would be a nice place to get our family together.
Report Abuse
Nice report, Amy. I always laugh at the many Philadelphians that travel to the Outer Banks while I travel up to the Jersey shore for my beach time.
Report Abuse
Thanks, nlg and Birdie!
Nlg, the big houses in the OBX have worked really well for having everyone together. Of course, you have to get along pretty well in order for it to work, but there is enough space for some separation as needed. What I like about OBX is the leisurely pace and the relatively uncrowded beaches (when we go--early June or mid October.)
Birdie, I do still get some Ocean City NJ time--at least the Boardwalk, if nothing else! But it is pretty funny, really. I have to admit that the ride up through VA (we couldn't go over the Chesepeake Bay Bridge with our car carrier due to high winds) did make me doubt the wisdom of the OBX. It took us close to nine and a half hours to get home.
Report Abuse
Obx is on my list! Are the restaurants and stores open this time of year or is it very seasonal? Thanks for the report.
Report Abuse
OBX is a year round community but many of the shops and restaurants that rely primarily on seasonal visitors begin reducing hours in late autumn. Thanksgiving & Christmas are very popular times to visit so many will run nearly full time for those holidays. Jan & Feb is way more hit and miss for specialty shops & dining but all of the basics of everyday living are up and operating.
Report Abuse
Ooops. Nice report, Amy! Meant to say that at the start of my post above. What a sweet gift to your family!
Report Abuse
Darn, I thought this might be Duck, West Virginia. My ex-in-laws live there. Nice report Amy!

J.J. Abrams Finalized Deal on Helming "Star Trek XI"
All Trekkers out there, it's time to celebrate your joy and relief that have been hold within for long. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that J.J. Abrams ultimately is one hundred percent positive to direct "Star Trek XI" and finalized the deal yesterday evening, February 23, 2007.
For quite a long time, heavy speculations on whether or not Abrams will helm the project have buzzed around among the media and the series fans. The film and TV powerhouse himself previously was only confirmed to produce the sci-fi flick while his status as the director appeared to be unclear to public, which thus led to seemingly endless talks about the matter.
In the meantime, it is also confirmed that the film will indeed chronicle the first meeting between James T. Kirk and Mr. Spock at Starfleet Academy and their first space mission as Abrams hinted last month. The man at that time was also noticed to be very pleased with the story and assured that those who have little knowledge on the hit franchise "will enjoy it equally."

REDMOND, Wash., April 25, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. announced it has completed its acquisition of the Nokia Devices and Services business. The acquisition has been approved by Nokia shareholders and by governmental regulatory agencies around the world. The completion of the acquisition marks the first step in bringing these two organizations together as one team.
"Today we welcome the Nokia Devices and Services business to our family. The mobile capabilities and assets they bring will advance our transformation," said Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. "Together with our partners, we remain focused on delivering innovation more rapidly in our mobile-first, cloud-first world."
Reporting to Nadella is former Nokia President and CEO Stephen Elop, who will serve as executive vice president of the Microsoft Devices Group, overseeing an expanded devices business that includes Lumia smartphones and tablets, Nokia mobile phones, Xbox hardware, Surface, Perceptive Pixel (PPI) products, and accessories. Microsoft welcomes personnel with deep industry experience in more than 130 sites across 50 countries worldwide, including several factories that design, develop, manufacture, market and sell a broad portfolio of innovative smart devices, mobile phones and services. As part of the transaction, Microsoft will honor all existing Nokia customer warranties for existing devices, beginning April 25, 2014.
Windows Phone is the fastest-growing ecosystem in the smartphone market, and its portfolio of award-winning devices continues to expand. In the fourth quarter of 2013, according to IDC, Windows Phone reinforced its position as a top three smartphone operating system and was the fastest-growing platform among the leading operating systems with 91 percent year-over-year gain.1 Furthermore, with the Nokia mobile phone business, Microsoft will target the affordable mobile devices market, a $50 billion annual opportunity,2 delivering the first mobile experience to the next billion people while introducing Microsoft services to new customers around the world.
Microsoft will continue to deliver new value and opportunity, and it will work closely with a range of hardware partners, developers, operators, distributors and retailers, providing platforms, tools, applications and services that enable them to make exceptional devices. With a deeper understanding of hardware and software working as one, the company will strengthen and grow demand for Windows devices overall.
As with any multinational agreement of this size, scale and complexity, Microsoft and Nokia have made adjustments to the deal throughout the close preparation process. As announced previously, Microsoft will not acquire the factory in Masan, South Korea, and the factory in Chennai, India, will stay with Nokia due to the tax liens on Nokia's assets in India that prevent transfer. As a result, Microsoft will welcome approximately 25,000 transferring employees from around the world.
More information about Microsoft's expanded family of devices and services is available here.
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.
Microsoft refers to Microsoft Corp. and its affiliates, including Microsoft Mobile Oy, a subsidiary of Microsoft. Microsoft Mobile Oy develops, manufactures and distributes Lumia, Asha and Nokia X mobile phones and other devices.
For further information regarding risks and uncertainties associated with Microsoft's business, please refer to the "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and "Risk Factors" sections of Microsoft's SEC filings, including, but not limited to, its annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, copies of which may be obtained by contacting Microsoft's Investor Relations department at (800) 285-7772 or at Microsoft's Investor Relations website.
All information in this release is as of April 25, 2014. The company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in the company's expectations.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Water is the key to life on Earth. Scientists continue to unravel the mystery of life on Mars by investigating evidence of water in the planet's soil.
The presence of short-lived radioisotopes (SLRs) in solar system meteorites has been interpreted as evidence that the solar system was exposed to a supernova shortly before or during its formation.
Biosignatures & Paleobiology
Polarized scattering in planetary atmospheres is computed in the context of exoplanets. The problem of polarized radiative transfer is solved for a general case of absorption and scattering, while Rayleigh and Mie polarized scattering are considered as most relevant examples.
Normally computers speed up calculations. But with his new pen-and-paper formula Kevin Heng of the University of Bern gets his results thousands of times faster than using conventional computer codes.
We present results of an investigation into the formation of nitrogen-bearing molecules in the atmosphere of Titan.
Habitable Zones & Global Climate
Star-like objects with effective temperatures of less than 2,700 kelvin are referred to as ultracool dwarfs.
Extrasolar Planets
We investigate how night side cooling and surface friction impact surface temperatures and large scale circulation for tidally locked Earth-like planets.
Extrasolar Planets
We present a model of early planetary atmospheres which represents the cumulative gaseous chemical species that are accreted onto planets forming by core accretion from an evolving protoplanetary disk.
Proxima Centauri is an M dwarf approximately 15,000 AU from the Alpha Centauri binary, comoving and likely in a loosely bound orbit.
Habitable Zones & Global Climate
Astronomers at KU Leuven, Belgium, have shown that the interaction between the surface and the atmosphere of an exoplanet has major consequences for the temperature on the planet.
Young stars are often surrounded by dense, rotating discs of gas and dust, known as protoplanetary discs, from which planets are born.

An hour later, he phoned again - this time with her father's mobile number to hand. Mrs Greenacre then called the number and, within moments, found herself speaking to her father for the first time in 30 years.
'A man had seen my Facebook post, which had been shared over 21,000 times, and Skyped me all the way from Geneva in Switzerland, to say he knew my dad,' beams Mrs Greenacre.
'They had known each other because of The Passage homeless charity that picked up my dad a few years ago and he, too, had been homeless.
'An hour later, he called back and gave me a number. I rang it and then there he was, on the end of the phone, my dad.'
Derek was 33 when he walked out on Mrs Greenacre's mother Wendy Beever, now 63, and never returned.

Disappearance: Derek was 33 when he walked out on Adele and her mother and never returned
Forgiveness: Adele, who has three children of her own, says she isn't looking for answers
The family believed he was going to work at a nearby leisure centre where he was a manager but at 11am they received a call from his secretary saying he hadn't arrived.
They spent the day searching and discovered his car parked in front of Nottingham Station, and concluded that he had taken a train to London.
Nottinghamshire Police also conducted extensive inquiries at the time but were unable to find Derek - who never made contact with his friends or family again.
Speaking about the day he left, Ms Beever said: 'On that morning he had to be in early for a staff meeting, so he got up to leave.
'But he forgot his keys and when he came back to get them, I was changing Adele. There were no computers back then. We had to do everything by post or by telephone. It was very hard.'
Despite her father's disappearance and refusal to contact her or her family, Mrs Greenacre says she is thrilled to have found him - and isn't looking for answers.
'When I first got to his house, I was very thrown and very scared,' remembers Mrs Greenacre. 'I knew I couldn't go and expect anything. But it worked out amazingly.
'We spent seven hours together and got on like a house on fire. It's been amazing, the best 24 hours of my life.'
Mrs Greenacre, who has three children, Callum, 18, Oskar, nine, and Kazia, five, of her own, added: 'I wasn't looking for answers. Just knowing him was enough for me.
'I want to thank each and every person who read and shared my post online, as without all of you, I would never have found him. It is a fairy tale ending and I am just so happy.'
