The awards honouring the very best are presented on the basis of the votes cast and on a strict monitoring process organized by the publisher.

Ooo, Oooo, Pick Me!
I know the answer to this one:
Why is it acceptable for state employees to be able to invest all of their mandated retirement savings - amounting to 8 percent of salary from employees and 10.15 percent from the state - into accounts similar to what Bush wants to make available on a much more restricted scale for young workers across the nation?
By the way, several hundred state employees - including lawmakers, top elected officials and some of their staff - have since the late 1990s enjoyed the privilege of choosing between a traditional pension and privately directed accounts.
Of the 457 officials currently eligible for the pension choice, 221 have opted for self-directed accounts.
Perhaps critics of Bush's plan will stop their carping long enough to tell us why state workers can be trusted to make such decisions but the rest of us can't.
The answer, of course, is that the rest of us are stoopider than state employees.
I mean, it's obvious, really.

Tottenham are closing in on England Under-21 international defender Eric Dier.
The club confirmed on Thursday night that they had reached an agreement with Sporting Lisbon.
The 20-year-old will now travel to the UK to complete a medical ahead of what is believed to be a £4million move.
The youngster, who has been capped at U18s, U19s, U20s and U21 level, was born in Cheltenham but moved to Portugal with his family when he was 10.
He spent half a season with Everton back in 2011 and has interested the likes of Arsenal, Newcastle and West Ham in the past.
We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Sporting Lisbon for the transfer of Eric Dier, subject to a medical.— Tottenham Hotspur (@SpursOfficial) July 31, 2014
But new Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino has moved quickly this summer after Dier apparently rejected a new deal with Sporting.
The news came through shortly after left-back Danny Rose penned a new five-year deal with the club.
The 24-year-old joined from Leeds back in 2007 and after a number of loan spells has now established himself as a first-team regular.
And despite the arrival of Ben Davies, and interest from Hull City, Rose has decided to commit his future to the club.

Donating your money is really easy, incredibly important, and a responsibility of those who are fortunate enough not to have to worry about where their next meal is coming from, if there will be a roof over their heads, or if all their loved ones are warm and safe. It takes a marginal amount of time and it makes a whole world of difference to someone. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, it is the duty of every American to help their fellow Americans pick themselves up when they're knocked down – because you never know when disaster will hit you or someone you love.
Links are directly to that organization's credit card donation page (where possible):
A $100 donation to The Salvation Army will feed a family of four for two days, provide two cases of drinking water and one household clean-up kit, containing brooms, mops, buckets, and cleaning supplies.
(I chose Salvation Army because I couldn't reach American Red Cross and the United Way had a processing fee)
American Red Cross [4]: Site is available now!
United Way [5]: Minimum is $10, but it's subject to a "$1.50 + 2.25% transaction processing fee."
Thank you.
Update: Here are details about some of the scams [6] going around concerning this tragedy, read it and make yourself aware of the bad folks out there looking to take advantage. Don't let it deter you from helping and I assure you that the links on my blog are legitimate.

A victory for free speech - and also for patients
Physicians rely on pharmaceutical companies to provide accurate and timely information about the products they develop.
We will, from time to time, turn over this space for opinions that disagree with our own. Today, a representative of the pharmaceutical industry, takes issue with our editorial published Wednesday.
On Dec. 3, the 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals issued its long-awaited decision in United States vs. Caronia, a case involving the criminal conviction of a pharmaceutical company representative who was charged with "misbranding" by allegedly promoting a prescription medicine for a use not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In reversing the conviction, the court found that truthful and non-misleading communications between a pharmaceutical company representative and a licensed physician constitute protected speech under the First Amendment and cannot serve as the basis for criminal conviction.
Before any new pharmaceutical product can be sold in the U.S., the manufacturer must demonstrate through a series of rigorous clinical trials that the product is safe and effective for its intended use. However, once a product is approved by the FDA, physicians may legally prescribe the medicine for any therapeutic use that is appropriate in their medical judgment, including uses that were not specifically approved by the FDA.
The practice of physicians prescribing medicines for non-approved uses is neither uncommon nor remarkable. In many instances, non-approved uses or treatment regimens are important to patient care and, in some instances, constitute the medically recognized standard of care. It has been estimated that nearly half of the prescriptions written by oncologists and one-fifth of all prescriptions written are for non-approved uses. Both public and private insurers routinely cover the costs of prescription medicines prescribed for non-approved uses.
Physicians rely on biopharmaceutical companies to provide accurate and timely information about the products they develop to better inform prescribing decisions and to achieve better health outcomes for their patients. Yet under existing FDA regulatory standards, the provision by a manufacturer of truthful and non-misleading information relating to non-approved use is susceptible to being characterized by the FDA as criminal misbranding, which could subject the manufacturer to ruinous fines and individual employees or corporate officers to criminal prosecution and the effective end of their professional careers.
In Caronia, the 2nd Circuit ruled that this use of the FDA's misbranding standards is unconstitutional because it infringes on the First Amendment's protections of truthful and non-misleading commercial speech.
The 2nd Circuit's decision is hardly surprising. It follows on the heels of the Supreme Court's 2011 decision in Sorrell vs. IMS Health Inc., which overturned, on First Amendment grounds, a Vermont regulation that prohibited pharmaceutical companies from accessing prescriber information that was otherwise generally available. Caronia is consistent with other precedents that establish the government's burden in justifying any restriction of truthful and non-misleading commercial speech is substantial.
Critics charge that the 2nd Circuit's decision will undermine the integrity of the FDA's regulatory processes and leave patients exposed to potentially unsafe products. Nothing could be further from the truth. The 2nd Circuit's decision protects only truthful and non-misleading speech. By encouraging regulators to focus on the truthfulness of these communications as opposed to searching for promotional intent behind a company's communication, we can develop clear standards that will reduce regulatory uncertainty and better ensure that physicians receive information critical to protecting patient health and improving health outcomes.
We look forward to working constructively with the FDA to develop a regulatory paradigm that protects its critical mission and fosters the provision of truthful and non-misleading communications. Indeed, as we move into a new health care environment where controlling costs and employing the best possible therapies are paramount, it is even more important to ensure that communications between biopharmaceutical companies and healthcare professionals are robust and timely.
Patients benefit and health outcomes improve as health care professionals learn more about the medicines they prescribe. From this fundamental perspective, the 2nd Circuit decision is a victory for patients.
Mit Spears is general counsel of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).

Ralph, this is a fascinating point, and approaches the issue from an angle I haven't encountered before. I think it's a real contribution. If it's alright with you, may I forward our conversation to date to the e-lang list, and continue the conversation on that list? There are many bright minds on that list, some of whom have their own challenges to the capability view -- some from a crypto perspective, some from an OS perspective, but none so far from an interfacing-with-the-physical-world perspective. There are also bright minds on that list who defend the capability view from perspectives different from mine. I think it would be a fascinating discussion. Even if you say no, thank you for raising a fascinating issue. The ongoing archives of the list are at http://www.eros-os.org/~majordomo/e-lang/index.html . To subscribe to the list, send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com whose body consists of "subscribe e-lang". Now that you've raised it, in retrospect it's a bit surprising that we hadn't seen it. Our starting vision in many respects is Nick Szabo's Smart Contracts http://www.best.com/~szabo , and Nick has also been explaining & promoting a close cousin: Smart Property. This latter is Smart Contracts embodied in the behavior of physical objects, like a car that refuses to start if the owner misses too many payments. While I was aware of this, until your note, it hadn't struck me that there might be security architecture issues in supporting it. Cheers, --MarkM

An investigation involving adding and subtracting sets of consecutive numbers. Lots to find out, lots to explore.
What is the smallest number with exactly 14 divisors?
Many numbers can be expressed as the sum of two or more consecutive integers. For example, 15=7+8 and 10=1+2+3+4. Can you say which numbers can be expressed in this way?
The ten digits of a digital clock are shown below.
I have a $12$ hour digital clock which shows the time, using four digits, on a piece of glass, so it can be seen from both sides. At what time between $3$ o'clock and $10$ o'clock does the time look the same from both sides?
If you liked this problem, here is an NRICH task which challenges you to use similar mathematical ideas.

Regarding the "golf match" 30 years ago. (Did you beat him?)
Silver,,,It's kind of a great story. I was a 17 HDCP and we bet $1 four ways, or $4 total. I shot a career round at the time of 78 and obviously won the $4 but he didn't have any money on him, nor in his wallet, which he opened, and it looked about 25 years old, and held one credit card...An AMEX "green" card! LOL So he asked his Vice Chairman Munger for the $4 to give to me, which he did. I should of had him sign them had I known where he would be in 30 years, but I was just a dumb young man and didn't know any better obviously....LOL!
What a great experience. Every time I see "Warren" doing an interview, it is always with "Becky Quick." (He likes the "pretty ones." Nothing wrong with that.) What's your handicap these days? I'll bet it's a lot better than "17."

No one knows what tomorrow holds. But if biology is destiny, or even a major piece of it, Michael and Linda Dzuba had good reason to ponder a long future as they neared their 60th birthdays. And perhaps reason to worry just a bit.
Each of their fathers had lived to nearly 90, and Michael's mother was still going strong in her late 80s. Linda's mother died after giving birth to her, but she was raised largely by an aunt who lived to 102.
It wasn't basic finances that worried them. Linda had worked for decades as a dental hygienist and educator in the Philadelphia schools, and Michael had a healthy practice as a clinical social worker. They still lived in the house they bought in 1973 in West Mount Airy. On the strength of some smart and lucky investments, they had put two children through Germantown Friends School and Brown and Northwestern Universities — without any debt, amazingly enough, except a refinanced mortgage.
