(Anthony Grafton, Princeton University)
"Anne Goldgar's scholarly sleuthing gives a whole new look to the 1630s tulipmania in the Netherlands.The bulb buyers and sellers were good middle-class merchants, not so far removed from knowledgeable connoisseurs and art-lovers. The crash in prices undermined not the economy, but people's confidence in honor and good judgment. Delightfully written, Tulipmania turns the exaggerations of a media event into an exploration of early modern values and anxieties."

Rule Chapter 69D-2, FAC required that insurers and HMOs file their SIU descriptions and anti-fraud plans at the Division's on-line, electronic database known as Insurance Fraud Plan Reporting (IFPR). Further, the rule stipulated that insurers and HMOs must file the updated SIU descriptions and/or anti-fraud plans on forms specified by the Division. There are only two types of forms available and are indicated below. An insurer or HMO will only make one filing, either the SIU description or anti-fraud plan, depending on its premium volume. The SIU description or anti-fraud plan filings will be reviewed for acceptance and the Carrier will be notified if the filing is insufficient.
NOTE: The forms have been updated to contain the new website address: www.myfloridacfo.com/division/fraud/. Filed forms must contain the new address or the Carrier will be required to re-file the form with the updated information.
Due to IT changes in the IFPR database, insurers and HMOs may encounter a problem when filing through the website, if so please email Lorie Wiese directly at email@example.com for assistance. This includes any of the following:
• Submission of any updated or revised SIU descriptions or anti-fraud plan filings,
• changes in anti-fraud personnel (#2 on the IFPR filing),
• changes in contact information (#6 on the IFPR filing),
• Carrier changes its name or is sold to a different insurance group.
(Additionally the Carrier should submit an updated SIU description or anti-fraud plan filing via the website.)
Insurers and HMOs applying for a certificate of authority with the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation should complete one of the required filing forms and submit their SIU description or anti-fraud plan filing.
*Please note the rule and/or statute is subject to change. Please periodically check the web site to determine if DIF has modified the rule or the statute.
The following are required forms for submitting the SIU description and anti-fraud plan filings:
Form DFS-L1-1689/SIU Description – Word/PDF – if more than
$10 million in Florida annual direct written premium.
Form DFS-L1-1689 (Word)

If the only way her body has to keep cool is by evaporation, how many kilograms of water must she lose to perspiration each hour to keep her body temperature constant? I know we are suppose to use equation for kinetic energy first. But this is where I get lost. Do we now multiply this number by 4(because of human body efficency being 25%) and then subtract the total(4X) by the kinetic energy? I also got this constant form our teachers powerpoint; sweat evaporates at body temperature (30C) Lv=24X10^5 J/kg. Im not sure what to do tieh it though.

US plans significant military presence of 13,500 troops in Kuwait
WASHINGTON — The United States is planning a significant military presence of 13,500 troops in Kuwait to give it the flexibility to respond to sudden conflicts in the region as Iraq adjusts to the withdrawal of American combat forces and the world nervously eyes Iran, according to a congressional report.
The study by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee examined the U.S. relationship with the six nations of the Gulf Cooperation Council — Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and Oman — against a fast-moving backdrop. In just the last two days, Saudi Arabia's ruler named Defense Minister Prince Salman bin Abdul-Aziz as the country's new crown prince after last week's death of Prince Nayef, and Kuwait's government suspended parliament meetings for a month over an internal political feud.
The latest developments inject even more uncertainty as the Middle East deals with the demands of the Arab Spring, the end to U.S. combat operations in Iraq at the end of 2011, fears of Iran's nuclear program and the counterterrorism campaign.
"Home to more than half of the world's oil reserves and over a third of its natural gas, the stability of the Persian Gulf is critical to the global economy," the report said. "However, the region faces a myriad of political and security challenges, from the Iranian nuclear program to the threat of terrorism to the political crisis in Bahrain."
The report, obtained by The Associated Press in advance of Tuesday's release, provided precise numbers on U.S. forces in Kuwait, a presence that Pentagon officials have only acknowledged on condition of anonymity. Currently, there are about 15,000 U.S. forces in Kuwait at Camp Arifjan, Ali Al Salem Air Base and Camp Buehring, giving the United States staging hubs, training ranges and locations to provide logistical support. The report said the number of troops is likely to drop to 13,500.
Several members of Congress, most notably Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., had pressed for a residual U.S. force to remain in Iraq, but the failure of the two countries to agree on whether American troops should be granted legal immunity scuttled that idea. Instead, officials talked of positioning a strong U.S. force just across the border in Kuwait. The strategy preserves "lily pad" basing that allows the military to move quickly from one location to the next.
As it recalibrates its national security strategy, the United States is drawing down forces in Europe while focusing on other regions, such as the Middle East and Asia. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta has said he envisions about 40,000 troops stationed in the Middle East region after the withdrawal from Iraq. By comparison, a cut of two Army combat brigades and the withdrawal of two other smaller units will leave about 68,000 troops in Europe.
During the 1991 Persian Gulf War, some half a million U.S. forces were in the Middle East region. The United States maintained about 5,000 troops in Kuwait from the end of the Gulf War to March 2003, when U.S. and coalition forces invaded Iraq to topple the regime of Saddam Hussein. The U.S.-led invasion was in response to reports, later discredited, that Iraq was developing weapons of mass destruction.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., who asked his staff to conduct the study, said in a statement: "This is a period of historic, but turbulent change in the Middle East. We need to be clear-eyed about what these interests are and how best to promote them. This report provides a thoughtful set of recommendations designed to do exactly that."

Antonin Scalia's Quest—and Bequest: Professors David F. Forte and Jonathan Adler
Cleveland-Marshall College of Law will host "Antonin Scalia's Quest—and Bequest" Wednesday, April 20 at 5 p.m. The lecture will be delivered by Professor David F. Forte of Cleveland-Marshall College of Law and Professor Jonathan Adler of Case Western Reserve Law School. The event is sponsored by Cleveland-Marshall College of Law, the Cleveland-Marshall Federalist Society, and the Justinian Forum.
When most justices of the Supreme Court leave the bench, their absence is felt. It was true of Thurgood Marshall and Byron White, of Sandra Day O'Connor and William Rehnquist. But a few Supreme Court justices have cut such a unique path that their departure leaves not just an absence, but a void—a void nearly impossible to fill. Such was Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., even though he was succeeded by Benjamin Cardozo. Such was Chief Justice John Marshall, followed by Roger Brook Taney, and Joseph Story, followed by the now unknown Levi Woodbury.
Antonin Scalia was one those few justices whose impact changed the paradigm of how the Supreme Court sees itself in a constitutional republic. At bottom, Scalia saw judging as a moral quest—a quest not to find the right answer, but to find the way to the right answer. The question he asked of himself and his fellow justices—Quo Vadis?—where are you going?—remains before all who may someday don a black robe and sit in judgment of their fellow citizens.

Greater Cleveland International Lawyers Group Speaker: Vann Wilber
Cleveland-Marshall College of Law is sponsoring a Greater Cleveland International Lawyers Group Lecture, Tuesday, March 15 at 12 p.m at the City Club of Cleveland. The lecture will be delivered by Vann Wilber, Senior Partner at Global Technical Policy Associates LLC.

Trade agreements are currently the central economic focus of this Administration. President Obama's trade policy is embodied by two major initiatives, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP). The automobile industry is an integral part of the global economy representing roughly ten percent of world trade. This industry is in transition from market specific competition to global competition and this new business model has both an economic impact and technological impact on regulators around the world. Now may be the best time ever to achieve the objectives of globally harmonized technical regulations for the automobile industry.
About Vann Wilber
Vann Wilber is a Senior Partner at Global Technical Policy Associates LLC and currently is working with the Vehicle Infrastructure Integration Consortium (VIIC) a consortium of ten automakers including BMW, FCA, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai-Kia, Nissan, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Volkswagen to develop member consensus on public policy issues related to the coordinated national deployment of 5.9 GHz DSRC systems for cooperative safety, mobility and other applications.
Prior to joining GTPA, Wilber was Director, Vehicle Safety and Global Regulations for the American Automobile Manufacturer Association and later the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, a government affairs trade association of automobile manufacturers. In this role he was recognized as an industry strategist and spokesman on public policy issues related to motor vehicle safety and international regulatory harmonization and responsible for development of public policy positions for US based automobile manufacturers regarding both domestic and international technical regulations.
Visiting Scholar: Richard A. Epstein - Leveling Down, or Leveling Up
Richard Epstein has been one of the most influential scholars in law and economics for over four decades. Known as one of the nation's leading advocates of libertarian conservatism and classical liberal thinking, Epstein has published more than 15 books championing individual liberties and private property.
He will discuss his economic viewpoints during a lecture at Cleveland State University's Cleveland-Marshall College of Law (1801 Euclid Ave.) Wednesday, March 9 at 5 p.m. in the school's Moot Court Room. His visit is sponsored by the Cleveland-Marshal Fund.
Epstein is the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law at NYU School of Law, the James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor of Law Emeritus at the University of Chicago and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution. His latest book, The Classical Liberal Constitution: The Uncertain Quest for Limited Government (Harvard U. Press, 2014), urges a return to the classical liberal theory of limited governance that animated the framers' original text.
During the March 9 lecture, Epstein will provide insights on how to reverse the current downward economic spiral he believes is fueled by the fight against income inequality in modern progressive circles. According to Epstein, it is an illusion that higher taxes and stiffer regulations can raise the economically disadvantaged and the likely consequence of these efforts will continue the downward economic drift of the past decade.
The lecture is free and open to the public, and offers attendees one hour of free continuing legal education credit. Preregistration is not required.
Cleveland State Law Review Symposium: Regulating Big Data in the Digital Age
Businesses today are continually developing more sophisticated means of collecting and using data.

The Cleveland State Law Review symposium is an opportunity to address this issue by creating a dialogue between regulated entities and government agencies in a way that promotes a creative legal approach to ensuring security and privacy.

The Action Plan, finalized in 2012, addressed pipeline issues, recruiting, and retention and will include alternatives, targets and time frames against which progress will be measured during the 5-year period.
This effort, the first of its kind in the state of Michigan, was developed by the leadership of the signatory firms with facilitation and guidance from the GRBA and its Diversity Committee, as well as the American Bar Association's Center for Racial and Ethnic Diversity. Similar agreements in Columbus, OH and Kansas City, MO served as inspiration for the agreement, and the GRBA and the signatory members hope to build on the success of those programs.
In March 2012, the GRBA Managing Partners Diversity Collaborative unveiled the action plan of the Managing Partners Diversity Collaborative to increase diversity in the legal community.
More than 10 months in the making, the action plan details how the GRBA and the Collaborative' s 13 signatory firms will work to "achieve diversity and inclusion in the education, retention and promotion of Michigan's attorneys." The five-year plan, which will be released during a 5 p.m. signing ceremony at the University Club in downtown Grand Rapids, establishes committees that will address three critical issues facing the Bar Association and members firms:
"Much thoughtfulness and hard work went into developing this action plan, which will provide a five-year roadmap for the Bar Association and area law firms as we work to increase diversity," said Mark Smith, GRBA President. "Through many discussions, the managing partners of West Michigan's leading law firms realize that together we can accomplish much more than we can individually.
"As a legal community, we recognize the importance of collaboration to bring about changes that will increase our diversity and ensure we are open and inclusive. This action plan is another significant step in that process."
The Managing Partners Diversity Collaborative was formed in June 2011 after a series of productive discussions on ways that medium and large law firms can improve diversity and inclusion. The action plan establishes three committees focused on pipeline development, recruitment and retention, then lays out specific steps that each will take.
Some of the actions recommended include:

Is it common and acceptable for a postdoc to leave before his/her contract ends, for whatever reason? How early should a prior notice be submitted in this case?
Usually, a postdoc is a normal contract between an employer and an employee, and as such, terminating it earlier than its date depends on the contract and/or the country. It should be normally specified on the contract, otherwise the laws of the country should apply. For instance, in the UK, I have had a notice of 1 month, in Italy, it was 3 months.
It is normally acceptable for a postdoc to leave before the end of the contract, although it depends on the situation. If the employer does not provide any guarantee for further employment, and if the postdoc has found another offer, starting earlier than the end of the current contract, then that's the rule of the game. If the postdoc has found a much better offer (for instance, a permanent position), then that's also the rule of the game. If personal reasons are involved (going with a partner, going back to home country, etc), that's quite fair.
By acceptable, I mean that the employer should normally not make any problem (assuming the legal obligations are fulfilled), and might even be supportive in the end of the contract. A case that might not be acceptable is to leave in the middle of a contract, breaking some work commitment (e.g., an experiment to run) for a reason that might not appear very strong. But in the end, it depends a lot on the relationship between the postdoc and the employer. The point to remember is that Academia is a small world, and that in general, it is worth keeping good relationship with former employers. In doubt, talk with your current employer, or with a mentor at the place you're working at to know what the rule normally is.
To add to previous answers: if your postdoc includes teaching, you should finish out the academic year, or at the very least finish the current term, and give your department chair as much notice as possible, so that they can find a replacement or adjust teaching assignments.
In my experience (I'm a postdoc now, and hence also know a few other postdocs) leaving before the end of a contract is perfectly normal. The nature of postdoctoral work is that you have to be ready to take the next opportunity when it arises - other people certainly aren't going to make sure the timing lines up nicely for you! Of course if you leave very early in the contract, that might annoy people, but assuming you're reasonably sensible, everything should be fine. Remember that the people employing you have either been through the same process, or observed it over the years1.
As for how early the notice should be, that depends on the contract and the labour laws where you are. There may be certain legal minimums that have to be observed, but the figure seems to normally be 2-3 weeks. Of course your employer may let you out early by agreement, but as your employer is probably technically the University, don't expect a bureaucracy to be particularly flexible.
In math, it's reasonably common for people to leave a 3 year postdoc after 2 years to take a tenure track job (or rather, it was reasonably common before the job market crashed). But fields which have postdocs attached to particular grants may be quite different.
I am currently a Computer Science postdoc in Europe. I have the understanding (and full support) with my professor that I will be gone if a faculty position presents itself. I guess, given that postdocs are really just researchers in queue for a faculty position, I am assuming other postdocs will have similar arrangements.
Other than that, I am assuming whether your professor is annoyed by you leaving depends on how much he depends on you, how much time you give him, and how valid your reasons are.
Before my current job I did postdoc at the university where I also received my PhD. I told my old advisor many months in advance that it would be good for me and my CV to leave my almer mater and home country, and he was fully supportive (== good reason, many months of changeover time). On the other hand, the same professor was pretty pissed when another postdoc quit his position to work in industry more or less without prior warning. Circumstances matter.
If either or both parties are miserable, then this is not indentured service and therefore the contract should be terminated. However, the termination shouldn't be to the detriment of the lab i.e. if the PI needs time to hire a replacement, then the postdoc terminating the contract should stay on until the new hire is made and trained.
Sometimes it's better to let a toxic person leave rather than remain for their technical skills. I hired a very unpleasant female postdoc in 2012 and luckily she resigned while I was still trying to figure out how to work with her. Now she is probably making her new boss miserable. She never asked for a recommendation from me so perhaps her 5 month stint in my lab was overlooked when she was recruited.
Postdocs out there take note:
It should be indicating in the contract, and as long as you are following the written contract, the professor should not take it against you. It is like any other job.
Although, in my experience I have found professors who are not professional enough to respect that. It kind of questions the recruitment process for faculty positions, a mere PhD or some publications should not be the only factor when choosing a faculty member, it should also consider the moral ground, leadership skill and ability to motivate. The same way the professor is not your mom or dad, the student is not your maid.

After securing almost $5 million dollars last week to fund proposed road projects, Neosho Transportation Development District (TDD) board members united with other vested partners Monday morning to announce that the highest priority of the projects to be completed in 2015 will be the extension of Hale McGinty Drive from Neosho Middle school to U.S. Highway 60
Gathering at 7:45 a.m. in front of the middle school to accentuate the traffic congestion as parents drop off their students were representatives of the city of Neosho, Neosho R-5 School District, Newton County Commission, Neosho Special Road District and the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).
"The extension of Hale McGinty Drive and the improvement of the intersection of Waldo Hatler and Hale McGinty will improve traffic flow and safety at the Neosho Middle School," said Steve Roark, TDD chairman.
Roark said the TDD board has requested that MoDOT prioritize that portion of the proposed projects, with the hope that it will be completed by the beginning of the 2015-2016 school year.
He said the extension will provide additional points of access to the middle school, the widening of the intersection will also ease congestion and improve safety.
Dan Decker, R-5 superintendent, said parking at the middle school will be expanded, which will also enhance parent drop off. He said the two organizations have shown that by working together they can create solutions.
"The cooperation between the Neosho TDD board and the Neosho R-5 School District demonstrates the power of partnership and the value of true community spirit," said Decker.
More on this story will be available in Tuesday's Neosho Daily News edition.

See what the pioneers thought, felt as they first came to the Salt Lake Valley
Many of the pioneers who came to Salt Lake recorded their first impressions of the area in journals and personal histories, noting (among other things) the "many great black crickets," "the Great Salt Lake glittering in the sun in the distance," the "many mosquitos," and the thick grass, beautiful streams, hot springs and serious lack of timber.
See the Salt Lake Valley through the eyes of the pioneers who entered it on July 24, 1847, as well as the pioneers who came before and followed after.

As I sit in my cool and comfortable house waiting to leave in my air conditioned car to drive to a nice cool movie theater I appreciate the moment to remember the pioneers and all they suffered. Some people consider Utah the laughing stock of the country due to it's strange liquor laws etc. But the state is here because people with strong beliefs settled the state and have descendants with the same beliefs. I am proud to be part of a state the rest of the country mocks. We are a state where people are willing to run for office and fight to keep our laws. We are a state where people take the time to vote for those men and women. I see comments from people complaining and always suggest they run for office and work to get people to vote for them. You get what you work for. I love this state.

I have my site in a subdirectory, so all WP files are located in http://www.domain.com/cms/.
Since the upgrade the banner directory can not be changed anymore, so it should be at http://www.domain.com/cms/wp-content/banners (which it already was).
If I now want to add a banner, I can't choose any images from the dropdown even though several banners are in that location.
If I check the source code of adding/editing a banner I see the following:
Banner folder: <select tabindex="9" name="adrotate_image_dropdown" style="min-width: 200px;">
<option value="">No image selected</option>

I'ld like to keep using that feature. I've tried searching the code myself to correct it but wasn't able to find it (yet).

Posted on 01/24/2010 4:40:53 PM PST by Mount Athos
Mr Marek Kukula, public astronomer at the Royal Observatory in Greenwich warned: "We might like to assume that if there is intelligent life out there it is wise and benevolent, but of course we have no evidence for this.
"Given the consequences of contact may not be what we initially hoped for, then we need governments and the UN to get involved in any discussions," he told The Sunday Times.
This week a two-day conference is being held at the Royal Society in London, titled, 'The detection of extraterrestrial life and the consequences for science and society.'
There is also an astrobiology conference in Texas in April at which new methods of detecting aliens will be discussed.
Douglas Vakoch, director of interstellar message composition at the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute in California, told the paper: "My personal view is that being more active is a worthy strategy. There is more serious talk of it, though not at the institute level."
Professor Simon Conway Morris, a Cambridge University evolutionary biologist, will be talking at the Royal Society on 'Predicting what extraterrestrial life will be like and preparing for the worst."
He thought that, given that the principles of Darwinian evolution should be universal, it was "inevitable" that intelligent life would have developed elsewhere in the universe given the right environmental conditions.
"If that is correct and it applied to manipulative skill then that suggests there should be alien technologies," he said.
Some scientists are puzzled as to why no messages have been sent back even though humans have been transmitting radio and television signals for the last century.
Prof Conway Morris reasoned that if he were in their shoes "I'm not sure I'd answer the telephone."
(Excerpt) Read more at telegraph.co.uk ...
Just as long as they don't hop into the back of my pick up at home depot i could care less
Leftists & Liberals want to add:
"We need new, massive global taxes (especially on Americans) to fund government efforts, departments and grants to study and deal with the problem of why the space aliens don't like us."
The radio wave fade rumor was an erroneous comment by some clown who really had nothing to base it on if I recall correctly. I forget what scientist said it but it isn't even in his field of expertise.
We get clear radio signals from all over the universe, just none that we recognize as obviously intelligently made.
Personally I have my doubts that they would be using radio. Its a regular cacophony out there.
Yeah, but your grass will be cut and your leaves raked. :-P
Probably so. Other than inadvertent transmissions of TV and radio signals from similarly advanced alien worlds, it's likely a truly advanced alien civilization has discovered an equally advanced form of communication.
After all, to any humans living in, say, the 1500's, our technology would appear to be magic. If someone from the 1500's had even contemplated other worlds and how to contact them, they might have suggested signal fires, shooting lighted arrows into the sky, or perhaps setting out stones in large patterns on the ground. We may be bombarded with alien transmissions, but they are as invisible to us as radio waves would be invisible to a person living in the Dark Ages.
Perhaps there is another reason why Obama doesn't have a birth certificate, at least on this planet.
Aliens? This is so not news. We already have aliens. They're called 0bama, Reid, and Pelosi. Alien to the American way of life.
"...Director of interstellar message composition..."
A day in the life:
- Hey, kids, would you take out the garbage on your way out and ... Hello?
- If you are calling from my phone company, then why are you recording this conversation and why do I need to switch?
- Microsoft Mumbai? Hello? Hey, my PC... uh, well OK. Does that come with chapatis or nan?
Yes, but what can they do light years away?
It's a cook book!
They don't. However the farther they go, the less energy per square inch of the wavefront they have. The wavefront is an expanding sphere (assuming an omni antenna.) The larger the sphere's radius gets (all the way to Alpha Centauri, for example) the larger its surface becomes. But the amount of energy you sent is the same; so less energy per unit of surface.
In the same vein, if the receiving antenna is a sphere that completely encloses the transmitter then it doesn't matter how far the wave travels, the antenna will capture *all* the transmitted power.
This holds true for optical frequencies too, that's why astronomers want larger telescopes - to capture more of the energy of the signal, given that the density of incoming energy is not under our control.
If your transmitting antenna is a beam antenna and not an omnidirectional radiator then the situation is exactly the same, just more power goes into a smaller cone of radiation. Since the cone doesn't know if you are radiating in other directions, the density of energy in the cone's wavefront follows the same laws as a sphere. You can find all the details here.
Also note that there is a popular belief that TV stations sent a lot of early TV shows into space. This is not exactly true. Antennas of TV stations are designed to radiate toward the customers (homes on the ground) and not into space. Some antennas have a very narrow beam and are designed to illuminate a very specific spot on the ground. You can see that very little is radiated toward 90 and 270 degrees in either plane. So most of the energy radiated by TV antennas goes into the ground, literally (it heats the soil) and only a tiny part of it is captured by receiving antennas.
Oh, yeah! The UN would be very helpful defending us against unfriendly aliens. NOT. Like they've pacified all those problems in Africa.
If we're contacted by intelligent extraterrestrials, the LAST thing we need to do is pull out some United Nations contingency plan in response.
Just watched District 9... apart from the swearing it was a tremendous scify film. An amazing achievement given how little money they spent to make it. Engaging story.
If life on Earth is any indication, predators are at the top of the food chain and are generally more intelligent than their vegetarian colleagues.
Take me to your leader.
Right this way boys.
Not if they are hostile in any way. We're sitting right smack in the bottom of a pretty large gravity well. Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress illustrates that pretty well.
There are plenty of asteroids out there that would end all life on this planet if their orbit were to be given the right nudge.
Ah, come on, you're just trying to scare me! Freaky Fridays do that already! Heh...
I've read this article, although no one claims to have written it, I'm shocked by this comment!
Of course no one has received our message yet, here is why:
Watch the video at Video.Nasa.Gov for a facinating and relatively accurate visual description of what our size is in the universe.
Time pressed? Watch it only from minutes 2:22 to 2:40 (18 seconds) and you'll see how far our transmissions have gone out in the very, very, short time we've been sending them: hardly anywhere.
The transmission had not even put a BLIP on our own galaxy.

"Royal Society" indeed!
Agreed, a very good and under-rated film (compared to hi-dollar/low-plotline movies like Avatar).
PLEASE FORGIVE . . . may be an old copy. The only one I'm finding after a computer overhaul and the latest copy scrolling off my latest files used on Word.
IF ANYONE ON THIS LIST HAS ASKED TO BE OFF, PLEASE LET ME KNOW so I can clean up this copy.
Even "respected scientists are capable of profoundly dumb speculation. I have always had a problem with their circular reasoning and extremely limited imagination as evidenced by their thinking inside a very tiny box.
Imagine no other life forms on earth that humans are aware of. What sense does it make to imagine any other potential living creature would be exclusively mammalian, biped and terrestrial? It follows from this that speculation is limited to assuming "life bearing" planets must only exist in planets exactly like ours in terms of distance from their suns, etc. Taint necessarily so.
As for the radio signals not being "answered," give me a break. Radio signals powerful enough to contain meaningful information have only existed for barely a hundred years. For a round trip, not enough time has elapsed to receive a response from even a handful of the nearest stars, which represent an tiny, infinitessimal, almost insignificant percentage of the total stars in 0.001% of the visible universe.
I would not expect a response, if ever, for another millenium, at least.
He has a Polish name: Marek Kukuła...
This translates into English as "Mark Cuckoo".
Cuckoo as in the family of Cuculidae, of near passerine birds.
FWIW. (Don't believe me? Look it up! http://www.TranslatePolish.com ) There is a slash through the "l" which might skew the lookup, so try from English to Polish to see the Polish font result.
Neither do we when it comes to whoever is flying these contraptions.
According to the very military officers in charge of these nukes, the operators of these UFOs were very interested in our nuclear capabilities and have developed a means of disabling our nukes both on the ground and while in flight.
Crazy? Don't believe me?
Of course it sounds crazy. I wouldn't believe it either - except that there is now recorded testimony from DOZENS of top military brass that exactly this has happened. People such as the astronaut Gordon Cooper, and the entire brass that was in charge of our nuclear base in the UK at Bentwaters.
These are the very guys who have their fingers on the button. If they are hallucinating, we have a big problem! Not to mention the British Minister of Defence himself!
This is convincing testimonial that "something is up". Nick Pope was the Minister of Defense... the British equivalent to Colin Powell during the Bush Administration.
He is not some gullible housewife looking out the window while baking brownies and seeing some swamp gas.
The Fox News talking head is sort of giggling at him, as we have all been conditioned to ridicule anyone who claims that there is anything real about UFOs. Even Nick Pope is cowed by this as he is unwilling to come right out and say it, "THESE THINGS ARE REAL YOU NITWIT! I'm the Minister of Defense you twit Talking Head!"
The conditioning in our society is incredibly strong, but eventually, as these people get old and come out of retirement, they start talking. Highly credible people like Nick Pope; Astronauts like Gordon Cooper, Buzz Aldrin, Edgar Mitchell (6th man on the moon), Dr. Musgrave...
...not to mention Cosmonauts: Popovich, Manarov.
Don't forget the world's highest quality witnesses who all saw UFOs investigating a US nuclear missile site. More than 80 witnesses saw this at Rendlesham Forest. These things have been very interested in the ability to disable our nuclear weapons and have done so on numerous occasions.
We trust these guys with our nuclear arsenal and if they are prone to hallucinations, we are all in trouble. The British MOD has released documents which support these events.
Larry King has a show on this:
UFOs shut down missile sites
Watch the above videos and then come back and tell me that all of these decorated pilots, officers, astronauts, nuclear weapons officers and NATO Defense Ministers are crazy or hallucinating.
We have just made a quantum leap in our capabilities for interplanetary travel thereby reducing the time required to travel to mars from some 2 years to less than 40 days now (Plasma Rocket)... this we have done in about 100 years after man's first winged flight. Imagine what could be done in 1000 years or more.
Nikola Tesla said he picked up intelligent signals but nobody knows how he did it. All records have disappeared.
Perhaps Neutrino Communications is the way to go?
Interstellar travellers will probably be mechanical/AI with no moral base. Life forms may not mean anymore to them than a virus does to us. Not needing air water etc. lets non living beings a hugh advantage in interstellar travel. They'll simply be looking for supplies.
Not necessarily, Einstein and Niels Bohr might have hit on the answer - making interstellar travel very fast indeed.
Einstein's way - Bending the fabric of space time and then letting it snap back. You can cover vast distances if you have enough power and it can appear to exceed the speed of light for someone who only has access to linear travel and chemical rockets. This also eliminates the near certainty of eventually hitting some space debris or meteorite in space.
Niels Boehr - Stipulated that all matter can exist as particles or waves. This would not solve the problem of the light speed barrier, but theoretically you and your craft would have zero mass.
With regard to matter behaving as either particles or waves, we already do something like this with fiber-optic communications... the light passing through the fibers behave like particles - not waves - they do not interfere with one another, and come out the other end in the same order they went in...
For a race that has mastered interstellar travel and the energy requirements of such, the only thing we and/or our planet could possibly offer them is fresh or novel DNA.
And, in the last year, it has come out . . . an important detail not disclosed before . . .
I don't know if that was in/on the ground or in flight or both. Would not be very fun if they changed the target address from Moscow or . . . to . . . Miami or Los Angeles.
Interesting times, for sure.
Well worth watching videos . . .
without sequence numbers, sadly.
Improbability does not equate to impossibility.
The thing is, with regards to the universe and physics - (IMHO) we don't know, what we don't know.
Regardless, I've always had an uneasy feeling about sending up flares and declaring - 'hey, we're over here' - based upon nothing more but the hope of benevolence in whomever/whatever might hear it.
Because we all know how competant the UN is!!!
Hence my use of the word "improbable".
One fact is certain: if they exist whatever their nature their interests and ours will not be the same.
Supposedly we taste like chicken, to them.

Great video.
"It's a cookbook!"
According to current social theory, any species that is able to travel to the stars is also able to destroy itself, and any species that can destroy itself, will, unless it learns very quickly how to deal with its own less pleasant aspects.
We think it's unlikely that you will meet a star-faring species that is aggressive, violent, bigoted, or crazy with greed. But all our theories are based on a sample of one, and we may not be as nice as we think we are.;-)
It's a nice summation.
"Inherit the Stars" has an interesting take on it as well.

I think to say Benitez is overrated then people definitely have to say so is Duran. Benitez beat Cervantes and Duran, and Duran beat Leonard. But Leonard then outclassed Duran and so did Benitez. I would even say Benitez best win was Duran. Duran knew what was in front of him and he had a belt there to win and that was not a Kirkland Laing situation. We can throw the Laing fight out and say Duran knew Benitez was an important fight. He just couldn't deal with the speed.
. And then you have to take into consideration Benitez being the youngest man ever to win a belt. 3 title reigns. Beating Weston,Shields,Duran,Cervantes,Curry, Palominio and fighting Leonard and Hearns. I don't think he is overrated. The record shows he beat Curry. I would even say that I think Benitez best reign was 154.
Benitez ranked because of his era? Perhaps a little. When you fight Hearns,Leonard and Duran in that era and beat Duran you are going to get some mention, and he is a big footnote to the careers of Leonard and Hearns since those two guys won their 147 for Leonard and 154 pound title for Hearns.
The record shows he beat curry, how about you actually watch the fight. I saw it as a Clear 6-4 or even 7-3 win for Bruce. The puerto ricans in the crowd booed loudly when benitez was given his christmas gift. Not to mention that i just finished watching the fight with palomino and this was far from a clear cut win, hell i saw the fight as even. Benitez regularly fought to the level of his opposition, not an all timer. Then again you are a fab 4 mark, so its expected.

As for the Winston, or whatever the current name and format is, Nate Ryan had a great article yesterday on how to make the event relevant and special. Outside of the $1M prize, it is just a fast parade, with no recent drama over the last decade. I liked his idea of moving it around or to mid-week. Needs to be on a short track like Iowa.
A hall of fame is only as good as what is enshrined within the HOF. For NASCAR it needs to be a mix of current and founding drivers/owners/crew chiefs. The recent additions of Jarrett and Wallace are relevant with the current fans, compared with Allison, Cale, and Ned Jarrett are more important to a generation or two older fans. One of these days I have to stop at the NASCAR HOF when I am visiting family in Charlotte.

The Five Most Miserable Christmas Songs
Among other things, Christmas is a great time for being maudlin and suicidal. If your Christmas depression isn't sufficiently aggravated by rampant commercialism and insincere offers of Good Will Toward Men, there's always some miserable Christmas song playing in a public place to add a pang to your holidays. To facilitate your seasonal affective disorder, we have identified five of the most down-bringing.
Shake Me I Rattle (Squeeze Me I Cry), Marion Worth. This 1963 hit was designed to jerk tears, but we wonder if its creators knew just how far they were going. The singer, wandering a snowy street at Yuletide, sees a little girl mooning over a doll in a store window, and recalls when she was a girl and wanted the same doll, but was "just a penny shy," and so presumably spent Christmas heartbroken. She goes into the shop and buys the girl the doll, a rash act clearly prompted by her own childhood trauma. Can even the child's gratitude, which is not recorded, overcome her festering sorrow? Isn't a plastic doll that rattles and cries really a pathetic substitute for the absent love that sent both the apparently unaccompanied child and the strangely impulsive singer into the streets when they should have been home with family and friends, if in fact they have any? These questions have haunted us for years.
Silent Night/7 o'clock News, Simon & Garfunkel. In this thuddingly coarse attempt at relevance, Paul and Art sing the old hymn angelically while a news commentator recounts horrific 60s headlines of war, death, and political turmoil ("Lenny Bruce died of what was believed to be an overdose of narcotics," "the nurses were found stabbed and strangled in their Chicago apartments," etc). Take that, Perry Como!
Do They Know It's Christmas?, Band Aid. It was always horrible ("Tonight thank God it's them instead of you" -- really makes ya think!), but the years since this pioneering bit of pop star self-importance surfaced have rendered it even more intolerable. For one thing, it seems even less cool now for a bunch of white people to tell us that Africa is a place "where nothing ever grows." Also, if you're into "vintage" synth sounds, this will cure you right quick. Bonus depressor: if you were around in 1984, you might have had hair like this.

All Through The Night, Lou Reed. Oh boy, it's an experimental binaural New York Christmas party with Lou Reed and his drug-addicted friends! "Christmas comes only once a year/why can't anybody shed just one tear/for things that don't happen all through the night?" Come back on New Year's Eve, when the bearded old man wearing last year's banner dies of an overdose. For a mellower Xmas bringdown, see Reed's "Christmas in February."
Happy Christmas/War is Over, Celine Dion and Gloria Estefan. Face it: this song was never very good -- it sounds suspiciously like an old Jamaica tourism jingle, and the grim, hectoring tone is very hard to take, especially from rich hippies ("And what have you done?" We had a bed-in, asshole). Still, it was John and Yoko and Phil Spector, so we went along with the gag. But hand it over to Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, and a heavily made-up children's choir, and it's reduced to utter crap, especially around 2:30 when Celine starts to get jiggy with it. This version makes us hate not only Christmas, but also peace on earth and music.
BONUS! Emerson, Lake & Palmer, Father Christmas. "They sold me a dream of Christmas/They sold me a Silent Night." But all ELP really got was rock stardom and this chance to tell their teenage male fans that it's all bullshit, with musical quotes from Prokofiev's Lieutenant Kije Suite to prove that they're cultured. We get the Christmas songs we deserve!
