Losing its top two scorers, including the nation's seventh-best point producer, means the emphasis shifts from offense to defense for the University at Albany basketball team this season. All of the talk on the first official day of practice at SEFCU Arena Friday was about preventing baskets, rather than making them. The points will take care of themselves. "This team will definitely be a better defensive team," said senior point guard Mike Black. "But we ...

Renegade Kid has been teasing their upcoming project for some time now, an FPS release for the 3DS. Fans were getting all stirred up, after all, the developer's DS release Moon was an interesting experiment. Little did we know that the new title was in fact a remake of Moon for the 3DS, retitled Moon Chronicles and released episodically. Oof. Not exactly a thrilling announcement in the end.
Moon Chronicles will be split into four distinct digital episodes with the first, "One Small Step," currently without an announced release date. The format of the release begins to make sense when you hear that Renegade Kid plans to release an all-new Season 2 of Moon Chronicles in 2015. Basically, that means that Season 1 is testing the waters or perhaps seeking funding for the continued development of the series.
If sci-fi FPS on the Nintendo 3DS are something you'd like to see more then make sure to listen for more Moon Chronicles details in the near future. Episode 1 will retail for $8.99 and feature about 4 hours of gameplay, with the following three episodes costing much less at $1.99 for around 2 hours of gameplay each.

Harlech is within the Snowodonia National Park, a beautiful area of small villages, mountains, woods. moorland, farmland and beaches in North Wales. The region was settled by the Celts originally and the Welsh language is widely spoken. The valleys and mountains are full of the evidence of the ancient past of this area with stone circles, cromlechs (ancient burial mounds) and the remains of old dwellings.
As with all mountainous areas, the weather can be variable however, both summer and winter are often beautiful with clear blue skies and temperatures in the summer reaching the high 20s. The coastal strip has a weather pattern that is vastly different from that in the higher areas and while the mountains are cloaked in cloud, the coast can be sunny.
In winter the place really comes into its own with vast empty beaches and quiet roads. It rarely snows on the coastal strip however the mountains can be a different matter.
The area around Harlech contains a vast number of interesting places to visit. The slate mines at Llanfair a couple of miles along the road and a larger version in what was once the slate capital of the world at Blaenau Ffestiniog allow you to see the vast scale on which slate was mined in this area and the skilful way in which the product was manipulated to produce the roofing material that was exported around the world.
Steam train enthusiasts love the area with the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways both running a spectacular and mountainous route to adjoining places of interest from their base at Porthmadog. On a smaller scale, the Fairbourne Railway plies a coastal route from the village out onto the dunes.
Barnmouth and Porthmadog are bustling towns with lots of shops, cafes, restaurants and the like. Both towns have fantastic beaches close by and Black Rock Sands, a watersports enthusiast's paradise is a short drive from Porthmadog. The entire area has so many beaches that even in the height of summer you will have no problem finding an empty one. Take a picnic, make a beach fire and watch dolphins and seals.
A bit further on from Porthmadog and you go through the gateway town of Pwllheli and onto the Lleyn Peninsular. This is a vastly different area, sticking out into the sea, largely treeless in direct contrast to the heavily wooded mainland area; at the end of the peninsular you can take a boat, weather permitting, from the lovely little fishing village of Aberdaron out to Bardsey Island, a place of pilgrimage for early Christians.

Parasitic worms, whether living in viagra tablets available in mumbai the gut or in the tissues, often accumulate in sites in the host, e.g. Subrahmanyam et al., 1978). Narayanan et al., 1982). Microfilaraemic hosts do not show antibodies to microfilarial antigens as long as microfilariae persist in the circulation, but when microfilaraemia is cleared, antimicrofilarial antibodies can be detected and lymphocyte responsiveness to Mf antigens is restored (Ponnuduria et al., 1974. Haque et al., 1979), whilst overall reactivity to other non-parasiterelated antigens is unaffected (Figure 11.13.
A mechanism along these lines would clearly benefit the parasite through providing an opportunity for transmission without exposing the host to the onslaught of other pathogens.

There are four widely recognized decision-making abilities. A competent person has a personal claim relative to judging what is in his or her best interests.

Understanding is a core ability, because in some legal jurisdictions, it is the sole ability a person needs to demonstrate viagra tablets available in mumbai in order to be judged competent. Using this as the sole standard for competency is thus problematic.
Instead, reasoning is best assessed by examining the logic behind individuals' choices, taking into account their personal values. It entails knowing the meaning of the information relevant to a decision.

Only the Highest Quality
A "common shed" contractor can save a few dollars here and a few more there by cutting corners where quality is concerned. The day it's finished, the resulting building will, to the untrained eye, look almost as good as the high-quality structure. But give them a few months...... come back and look in two years, when the bargain-basement special is no longer looking so sweet. You will see that all the little cost cutting tricks used by the discount specialists have taken their toll. The few dollars saved by a discount builder won't begin to repair his shoddy work. Before deciding on a builder, be sure to find out what kind of materials he uses. See some testimonials to find out the difference.
Increasing the value of your home is easy with a building custom built to match the design and color of your house. Yes, we build on your lot. We build it where you want it. Beautify and make your property more useful with our quality buildings. They have dozens of purposes - lake side jet ski storage, toy and tool boxes, as garden sheds to keep mowers and other tools out of the weather to last longer, as shelters for animals (up to horse size!), as storage for classic car, even dog houses, pump houses, roadside stands, portable storage shed, mini barn, as playhouses, as lakeside camps, as well as small offices, over night hunting cabins or just for yard and pool side practical decoration at home. They are available in many styles and colors. Choose from the smallest 22'x3' dog house and 8'x8' shed to a generous 10'x20' garage and "man caves"....... yes! (Be sure to look at "her" ......"She Cave" ....studio above. We do custom building as well, using quality materials for long life and portability.
All buildings, sheds and products are quality built to last. Rogue Custom Sheds-n-Outbuildings provides yard beauty focal points, enjoyment, play and functionality of smart building solutions for the lake, city home, family, business, and leisure vacation time in the State of Oregon and Northern California ....and for good reasons. These buildings are sturdily built using only top quality materials to give a lifetime of service when cared for and given routine maintenance.
Custom or Special Orders
Add-Ons & Popular Accessories
There are hundreds of ways to accessorize and personalize your little building. Many people design their theirs to coordinate with their houses in some way. You may see some in the same color or style as the main house. We also offers a wide selection of shingles so that our customers can match them to the shingles on their houses.
Indeed, with all of the accessories that people add, some buildings have made the leap to being more like summerhouses. You=ll find cabins with screens, windows, internal doors, partitions, and built-in benches, seats, and tables. Many have added electricity, and some even have had them plumbed. An increasing number of people are going so far as to install sinks and toilets as well.
Apparently, the 21st century is beginning to put its stamp on the evolution of our little buildings. Whereas it was once seen as a kind of detached building where one could seek refuge or simply take in the beauty of a garden or enjoy a gentle breeze by opening a window, the breeze now frequently emerges from the paddle fan, or two, on a lighting fixture.
Perhaps it=s a sign of the times. Things have become so hectic that it=s not enough to just retreat to the porch or backyard to revel in a few stolen moments away from the chaos of one=s home. With cell phones and other technology bringing the turmoil of work into the home, precious spare time has been squeezed out. People now need a place that=s tantamount to a vacation house that they can go to without actually leaving town. It=s too bad they can=t bring themselves to disconnect altogether for a while. With lots of the buildings having electricity, technology has a standing invitation to invade. Inevitably, the next trend will be toward entertainment centers, surround sound, in the home offices we've built. With people taking their buildings so seriously, it=s bound to happen sooner or later.

Well the thing is, these Questions (most of them) are not WiiChat related. My question was more of a joke that she would get. Other members were asking Questions as to what they know about her as a person (Likes, Dislikes). Cpt. already has a good idea of WiiChat questions (see previous interview for examples, and that was all pulled off with in minutes).
So theres not really a need for WiiChat bases questions exactly he was more or less looking for one (or two) unrelated Question/s near the end of the thing.

John Holland, a pioneer in the study of complex adaptive systems and the leading figure in what became known as genetic algorithms, passed away Sunday morning, August 9, 2015, in Ann Arbor, Michigan.
He was a Santa Fe Institute professor and external professor for many years and, at the time of his passing, a member of the Institute's Board of Trustees and Science Board.
Holland, 86, a longtime professor of computer science and engineering and professor of psychology at the University of Michigan (where he founded and led the Center for the Study of Complex Systems), had been interested for six decades in what are now called complex adaptive systems, starting with his early work at IBM in the 1950s on computer simulations of Hebb's theory of cell assemblies.
He formulated genetic algorithms, classifier systems, and the Echo models as tools for studying the dynamics of such systems.
In 1975, Holland published the groundbreaking book Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems, which has been cited more than 50,000 times and has been published in several languages. Intended to be the foundation for a general theory of adaptation, this book introduced genetic algorithms as a mathematical idealization that Holland used to develop his theory of schemata in adaptive systems. Later, genetic algorithms became widely used as an optimization and search method in computer science. Most optimization textbooks now include a chapter on such evolutionary algorithms, and his insights led to the field of evolutionary computation.
Holland's statistical learning system, known as the Learning Classifier System (LCS), incorporated a reinforcement learning algorithm for non-Markovian environments (the bucket brigade), which anticipated by nearly a decade the development of non-Markovian learning algorithms. His 1989 book Induction, co-written with psychologists Keith Holyoak and Richard Nisbett, summarized this work and applied his ideas about classifier systems to induction in cognitive science.
His subsequent books Hidden Order: How Adaptation Builds Complexity (1995), Emergence: From Chaos to Order (1998), Signals and Boundaries: Building Blocks for Complex Adaptive Systems (2012), and Complexity: A Very Short Introduction (2014), summarized his more recent work, which helped mature and formalize the field of complex adaptive systems.
He was an early champion of interdisciplinary approaches to science and engineering, and many of his lesser-known projects anticipated important trends and advances in modern computer science. Holland trained several generations of graduate students, many of whom have taken inspiration from his interdisciplinary approach to make seminal contributions of their own.
Holland was one of the intellectual founders of SFI and was the founder of SFI's Adaptive Computation program, started in 1990. His broad view of complex adaptive systems, computation, evolution, and cognition have become foundational concepts in complexity research worldwide.
"John is rather unique in that he took ideas from evolutionary biology in order to transform search and optimization in computer science, and then he took what he discovered in computer science and allowed us to rethink evolutionary dynamics," says SFI President David Krakauer. "This kind of rigorous translation between two communities of thought is a characteristic of very deep minds. And John's ideas at the interface of the disciplines continues to have a lasting impact on the culture and research of SFI."
In 1994, Holland gave the first SFI Stanislaw Ulam Community Lectures in Santa Fe, an annual series that continues to this day. (Read about Holland's Ulam lectures in the Winter 1994 issue of the SFI Bulletin.)
"For those of us who knew him personally, John's enthusiasm for ideas was contagious," says SFI External Professor Stephanie Forrest, one of his PhD students at Michigan in the 1980s. "He leaves us not only with a grand intellectual legacy, but with memories of the pure joy he brought to his research, cheerful disregard of academic dogma, and a great sense of fun and mischievousness."
Among his many achievements, Holland became a MacArthur fellow in 1992 and was a fellow of the World Economic Forum.
"I have more ideas than I can ever follow up on in a lifetime, so I never worry if someone steals an idea from me." -- John Holland, 1929-2015

It made me incredibly sad to hear the news of John's passing.
It takes an extraordinary brain to be a pioneer, which John clearly was. His work has influenced me a great deal but, having met him in Singapore a couple of years ago, he was clearly a wonderful and inspiring person on top of all of that.
My condolences to his family and colleagues – I am sure he has left an enormous hole.
Greg Fisher
|Stephanie Forrest - Aug. 10, 2015, 4:11 p.m.
John was my Ph.D. advisor, but he was so much more:
In 1979, when I walked into the Computer and Communications Dept. at the Univ. of Michigan looking to take a computer programming course, I was sent down the hall to talk with John, at that time the Assoc. Chair of the Department. 45 dizzying minutes later, I walked out with an application form for the PhD program, and the rest is
Since that time, John never failed to be interested and encouraging of my ideas, and over the years he offered up great, if nonstandard, career advice. I credit most of my own limited success in the academic world to John's great example and inspiration (and, the many many letters of recommendation he wrote on my behalf).
John, we miss you!
|Melanie Mitchell - Aug. 10, 2015, 4:55 p.m.
In 1984 I came to graduate school at Michigan to work with Doug Hofstadter. I didn't know anything about the CS department. It was my great luck that I ended up taking John Holland's class "Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems". The class completely changed my perspective on what computer science was (and should) be about. As fellow grad student Chris Langton put it, John's view was that "The proper role of computer science is the study of computation writ large across all of nature." This idea, and John's development of it during the class, was a great epiphany for me that shaped my future career and all of my thinking about science in general.
John became my co-advisor at Michigan, and did so much to support and encourage me in my work. He let me know when I had done enough for my Ph.D. (and told me it was time to get my "union card," as he called it). He recommended me for the Michigan Society of Fellows, and then invited me to join the famous BACH group during my fellowship. He also invited me to visit SFI, first for a summer, and then asked me to direct SFI's Adaptive Computation program. This led to my faculty appointment at (and hopefully life-long engagement with) the Institute.
I was fortunate to became one of John's close-knit group of former Ph.D. students, all of us, including John, meeting every now and then to talk about everyone's research projects and to speculate on big questions. Our last meeting was in Fall, 2014. John, in spite of his illness, was in great spirits, and regaled us with his new ideas and enthusiasms. In addition to his great intellect, John was perhaps the most enthusiastic, cheerful, and *lively* person I've ever known. I'll miss him greatly.
|David C. Bloom - Aug. 10, 2015, 8:54 p.m.
It was a privilege to take John's brain-blistering seminar, "Analogy, Essence and Elegance," which he team-taught at the University of Michigan with his Hoosier-buddy Doug Hofstadter - and to work with Kenn Devane, applying Genetic algorithms to plumb big-data sets at MineTech. Demonstrating mind over machine, in true "John Henry" fashion, Holland came close to disproving the Second Law of Thermodynamics. He will be missed.
|Le Hoang Son - Aug. 11, 2015, 2:46 a.m.
RIP Professor John Holland.
We still keep your contributions in mind forever!
|Katya Vladislavleva - Aug. 11, 2015, 3:27 a.m.
I understand that it was inevitable as John was battling cancer, but the news of John's passing still brings grave sadness to me.
I first met John in May 2008 at the Genetic Programming in Theory and Practice workshop in Ann Arbor. Then he was mourning his PhD supervisor and friend Arthur Burks who passed just a couple of days earlier. I had read John's books, but it was the first time when I got to know his grand soul and grand personality. He cried as he was telling the story of him doing the first ever PhD in Computer Science with Arthur Burks, finding a life friend in his teacher, forming the BACH group, and trying to cope with his sensei passing.
I had a pleasure to share several dinners with John over several years and to this day they belong to the most memorable and highest intellectual and spiritual experiences of my life. Those discussions on evolution, psychology, computation, complexity, global optimization and Sponge Bob socks will stay with me forever.
My deepest condolences to the family, friends, colleagues and all whom he touched and inspired.
Thank you, John.
|Fernando Diaz - Aug. 11, 2015, 8:17 a.m.
This is very sad news.
I was an political science major at Michigan who had taken a few computer science courses before asking Professor Holland if I could enroll in his small graduate seminar on complex adaptive systems. I was definitely in over my head but, eighteen years and a PhD later, I still reflect on many of the things discussed in class.
His curiosity and open-mindedness were very influential to me.
Thanks for everything, John.

|Peter Bentley - Aug. 11, 2015, 9:27 a.m.
John was, and I think always will be, an inspiration to us all.
If I may, I would like to share the hour-long conversation I had with John four years ago by telephone from the UK, when I interviewed him for one of my popular science books. He discusses his life, his research, and gives his views on future challenges. By listening I hope those who never had the pleasure of meeting John can learn the profound influence he had on Computer Science.
|Tim Kohler - Aug. 11, 2015, 9:56 a.m.
I had met John several times over the years at the Institute, but it was not until a few years ago at a Science Board meeting that I had the opportunity to sit down with him for an extended length of time, over breakfast. We got to talking about the role of information in societies. I mentioned that in Pueblo societies, much of what people consider the most important information was closely held by small groups of initiates. "Ah," he leaned back, "that changes everything!" At that moment we were interrupted and I never got a chance to follow up (how, exactly?). Now I never will. An admirable mind, in a compassionate man.
|Yann Semet - Aug. 11, 2015, 10:44 a.m.
RIP. I never was fortunate to meet Professor Holland in person but I did get an indirect glimpse of his ideas through the teachings of one his students, Professor Goldberg. Genetic Algorithms changed my life, my career and the way I see the world. I've never ceased to try to solve my problems in a natural, adaptive way ever since. Hats off to a great mind.
|David Davis - Aug. 11, 2015, 11:36 a.m.
I once thanked John for creating the world of genetic algorithms--a world I've worked in for more than 30 years. He will indeed be missed.

|Pierre Collet - Aug. 11, 2015, 4 p.m.
I met John Holland once and had a discussion with him after his keynote. This was not so long ago, so he was an old man, but his mind was still full of great novel ideas. A great loss for Science.
|Marianne Ringgenberg - Aug. 11, 2015, 5:10 p.m.
I echo my cousin's sentiments. Incredible to read the legacy he has left behind. Uncle John was the best of uncles and I may not understand much of what he actually taught and studied but he was always easy to speak with. I will always cherish a great discussion we had about ants! We will miss his laugh and his super goofy but wonderful sense of humor.
|Erica Jen - Aug. 11, 2015, 5:16 p.m.
A huge body blow. Feels as if a vital organ of my "SFI-self" has been cut out.
John has been inspiration and motivation for so many of us. In my case, it was his work on classifier systems that got me hooked on SFI, and it is John who - more than anyone else through the years - has helped define, in style and content, what SFI can and should be. Can't think of any lasting research theme at SFI toward which he did not make a major contribution: He changed fundamentally the questions we ask about complex adaptive systems.
Really hard to let you go, John.
|William Rand - Aug. 11, 2015, 5:42 p.m.
Prof. Holland was one of the major reasons I decided to go to graduate school. When I got to graduate school at Michigan he was one of the major reasons that I decided to stay. As one of Prof. Holland's students, I always admired his creativity, his insight, and his honesty. He did more than just instruct me, advise me, or mentor me, he inspired me to do more and to think broader and bigger than whatever problem I was currently working on. The quote that is at the end of this story is something that I tell my students to this day. Truly, Prof. Holland left us with way more ideas than any of us can ever fully explore in a lifetime.
|Rachel Kaplan - Aug. 11, 2015, 7:09 p.m.
Memories from long ago:
Fall 1957: John Holland and Steve Kaplan, were both students the first time Jim Olds taught at UM. The overload and intensity of the physiological psychology class led the two of them to get together frequently to jointly try to make sense of the material.
June 1962 (Rachel Kaplan's doctoral defense): John Holland, as the cognate member of the committee, commented how exciting the discussion was and it's too bad we needed to stop. (Rachel, however, was quite eager for it to end!)
July 1962 (Steve Kaplan's doctoral defense): John Holland, as a member of the Psychology department, was extremely helpful in countering the committee chair's efforts to undermine the candidate's theoretical insights.
For many years thereafter through joyous and difficult periods, John came over for dinner quite often, and the two-day apart February birthdays (John's and Steve's) were celebrated with many cakes. If I remember correctly, John gave Abram (our son) a kite for his 13th birthday, just a week after Manja was born on her older sister's 16th birthday!
John touched many more lives than we'll ever know!
|Muhammad Iqbal - Aug. 11, 2015, 7:11 p.m.
I am new in evolutionary computation field. I did not meet John Holland personally. However, I admire and respect his ideas and contributions in this field.
|Bill Worzel - Aug. 11, 2015, 7:24 p.m.
I was fortunate enough to be a member of the (then) PSCS reading group when John was proofing the draft of Emergence – I still have the preprint in my files. A motley collection of grad students, and non-academic hangers-on such as myself. read, discussed and commented on his work chapter-by-chapter. I remember how much life there was in his prose and how the ideas seemed to burst off the page giving rise to many children as we discussed and argued over the draft. The crowning moment was when John arrived to answer questions and faithfully took our notes with him. I have no idea whether our comments had any influence on the final product, but I remember the pride that he listened and took our ideas with him when he left.
When Carl Simon, Rick Riolo and I started the Genetic Programming Theory and Practice Workshop in 2002, John was the first keynote speaker and over the 13 years of GPTP, John often stopped in, sometimes to hear a keynote or a former grad student and he always contributed interesting ideas that opened vistas that we hadn't considered.
Sitting on my desk right now is a draft of my chapter for this year's GPTP book. In my draft, I quoted part of an Alice Fulton poem that John put into the beginning of his book Hidden Order that could be modified to describe John's vision of the world:
...[his] point of view? One
|Kenneth Zick - Aug. 12, 2015, 1:09 a.m.
John was part of my motivation to enter graduate school at Michigan, and when I started attending the complex systems reading group in 2004, I was honored that he would hang out with our tiny little group. My classmate and I couldn't believe our good fortune…here we were having dinner with a legend, and the thousands of other grad students seemed none the wiser. Next semester, I took John's Complexity and Emergence course, and he opened the door for me to attend the SFI Complex Systems Summer School. That in turn led to a fellowship, the freedom to pursue a PhD with John as co-advisor, and many other wonderful things. The little boosts he provided, at what may have been lever points in my life, ended up making a world of difference. I can only imagine the immense difference he made for family members, students, colleagues, and so many others he interacted with, through his encouragement, ideas, and uncommon kindliness. If you feel you have benefited from knowing John or his work, I hope you will tell someone your story, so that a fuller appreciation of his impact will emerge. Thank you John.
|Tom Bersano - Aug. 12, 2015, 1:11 a.m.
John Holland was the best Ph.D. advisor I could ever have asked for.
I remember how John would smile and always had my back when I would take excessive amounts of classes per semester and would bump against some departmental restriction against that one day or on max number of simultaneous degrees another day and needed his signature or for him to vouch for my ability or overall sanity to the dean of the grad school program...
He felt like both a mentor, a good friend, a partner in crime (on overcoming bureaucratic restrictions) and a role model of what the pursuit of knowledge could be and should be.
He was a great inspiration to me and I always admired how he turned scientific questions into fascinating conversations between experts from very different fields, each contributing something from their unique perspective, and I feel fortunate to have been involved in some of those discussions and to have known him in general.
I did not have a chance to talk to him in the past 4 years and I was not aware of his condition so I was shocked and very saddened by this. I will greatly miss but always remember him and I am sure that so will the many other people who knew him or were inspired by him or his work.
|Jan W. Vasbinder - Aug. 12, 2015, 1:35 a.m.
John has been a dear friend for over 30 years. I do not think he will ever really die. He will be in my heart and head all the time and will keep inspiring me. I even think he will be instrumental in new ideas springing up. But I am sad that I will never hear his wonderful laugh again.
|Anna A. Zaytseva - Aug. 12, 2015, 5:17 a.m.
Although I have never met John Holland personally, I knew he was special. To me, John Holland was a genius. You don't need to get in touch personally with a man to recognize the power of his mind and spirit – true results and strong ideas reach others easily. I dropped him a message for some months ago expressing my gratitude for his groundbreaking discoveries, but he didn't reply. In Singapore, at the Complexity Institute this February, I heard that John Holland was about to leave us, and now this day came… I am finalizing my PhD, which is about memories of Complex Adaptive Systems in socio-technical phenomena at large and in details – a computational systems approach on mutual relationships between technologies and law, which I could generate based on his ideas. My work will be in memory of my genius John Holland, and I am thankful to him for my love to Complexity Science. Because of him, I know what I want to do, will and should do.
The mind of John Holland run on high speed: seeing, understanding and explaining emergence, blocks of complexity, bootstrapping, echo, games, memos and memory, adaptation and innovation, specialization and transdisciplinarity. Many things. He found rules of organization in natural and artificial systems, and his ideas of genetic algorithms and immunity are used for protection in machines against viruses – just like a natural immune system. I can hardly find someone, who wouldn't be able to find implications and build upon his ideas. We also use CAS as an inspiration for Information Infrastructures at our department. Sometimes even a few lines from his works are enough to cause new dissertations, not mentioning his books and articles causing new technologies. John Holland said truth – he had too many ideas to make them all grow during his lifetime. His works are written simply and communicably, and the beautiful world by John Holland has always been welcoming.
Yes, those, who knew him personally, say he was laughing all the time. In Singapore they told me that it was sometimes difficult to distinguish whether he made jokes or was serious. This was probably his means of protection. That is why his creation – Complex Adaptive Systems, my sweet CAS – is so strong, rich, useful and fun – it could not be otherwise. John Holland proved that intelligence, sense of humor and adaptability are connected. When John Holland left us, I thought – who could be equals to him? I could not give myself an answer, and this is actually what is so deeply sad. His works made me love Complexity Science with all my heart, and "Adaptation in Natural and Artificial Systems" is my favorite. Probably, he is looking at us from aside and laughing, from happiness, when we got a higher knowledge. I believe, this knowledge confirms all his ideas. He will be with us forever – in our hearts, in our Complexity Science. I am so thankful to him for everything. The best. This is about John Holland.
|Jing Han - Aug. 12, 2015, 6:24 a.m.
He means a lot to my life, not just the coordinator of my postdoc in SFI in 2003. I always feel I am so so lucky to have my scientific hero being my close friend for more than 10 years. The CAS idea has had great impact on my career, and I also learned a lot about life from him. He is an amazing person and great scientist.
I wish him well now in a better place ... I will miss him a lot.
|Erik Goodman - Aug. 12, 2015, 9:21 a.m.
John's passing is very sad for me, and I extend my deepest sympathies to his family, friends and colleagues who enjoyed his marvelous spirit.
John completely altered my academic path when I took his adaptive systems class in 1969. Although GA's were not yet named, John had fully developed the ideas, proved a schema theorem, invented classifier systems, and thought a great deal about complex adaptive systems. His ideas were infectious, and I took his second adaptive systems course. He got me a fellowship in the Logic of Computers Group (in the Ouimet Building). Art Burks was the director and John the associate director, but John's spirit propelled us. He taught and advised this group, but also instilled by his example a sense of joy and playfulness in everything we did. Lunchtime meant playing Go, the strategy game at which John excelled and was well-ranked. He would spot us MANY stones and still beat us easily, but we learned! And Space War! Logic had two computers in the basement--an IBM 1800 and a DEC PDP-7 with a "337" display, custom-interfaced by a Logic student. The interface took 8 18-bit PDP-7 words and converted them to/from 9 16-bit IBM 1800 words, so the IBM's disk drive could serve the PDP-7. On that, Dan Frantz wrote an early video game--Space War--and many of us in Logic enhanced it. Dan was #1 at this solar orbiting, missile-based game, but #2 was John Holland. We spent many exciting hours playing Space War with John and each other. Sessions playing Consensus, the electoral college board game invented by John's student John Koza, were also popular. Holland DELIBERATELY made Logic a fun place to work.
Characteristically, John appointed his recently graduated Ph.D., Bernie Ziegler, as my Ph.D. advisor, helping Bernie launch his career. I used a GA (not named that yet, of course) to solve for 40 real parameters of a model of E. coli growth, and I'm afraid we broke some of John's early "rules" about GA's, since we didn't use a bit string and binary mutation, but rather Gaussian mutation on discretized reals. But John allowed me to run almost continuously on the IBM 1800, and after a year of checkpoint/ restart running (ONE run), I finished the Ph.D. (1972).
A goal of mine in directing two centers has been to emulate John and make them fun places for students to play and to learn from each other, as in Logic. A few years ago, John invited me to CSCS to give a seminar about our work in BEACON Center, and he was delighted when I told him how strongly I was trying to model BEACON's atmosphere on his example at Logic of Computers.
John was truly a national treasure--not only because of his ever-flowing fountain of ideas, but also because of his eagerness to share his inspiration with others. He was a giant, and we shall all be poorer for his loss.
Let's do our best to keep alive his ideas and his passion for seeing these ideas put to work in many different environments.
|Philip Anderson - Aug. 12, 2015, 9:51 a.m.
The loss of John is deeply saddening. His presence, his ideas, and his "legacies"--Melanie, Steph and others--were absolutely crucial to our development as an institution in those first formative years. I had not known him prior to the early SFI workshops, but I came to look forward to reconnecting with the group and with John every time I returned for my all too brief visits--he was a vital part of the refreshing atmosphere we breathed in those exciting times. And I, too, succumbed to the siren song of the CAS. He also was an important link to the earlier days of complexity--the BACH group and other pioneers. And don't forget--he was a lovable human being.

Comments posted earlier really describe John Holland's personal and intellectual characteristics, so it is difficult to add something new! Although I never took a course with him, during my PhD program at U of M, I had the opportunity to attend several of his enlightening talks and work with some of his closest collaborators. I was so thrilled by his work on CAS and GA, that until today, I use those concepts and tools in my own research. Although only that fact merits a thank you to John, above all I would like to thank John for his kindness and friendliness! John is a role-model to follow, and thus, he will live forever in our hearts and minds!
|Rik Belew - Aug. 12, 2015, 2:48 p.m.
Warm recollections, in no particular order:
John exuberantly pointing to a GA population, as hex code on a Commodore64, along with his mods to the OS kernel!
His approach to teaching: Present the same important material, whatever the department happens to be calling the class
His exuberance after having just heard about Martingales
His seminars, then tiny ICGA meetings, then SFI workshops, where students, faculty, Nobel Laureates, whomever, followed ideas wherever they lead
His stories from poker parties with all the Univ. Michigan power people
His instinct for good questions, and impatience with camping ("knob-twiddling") on old answers
His compassion for people trying to be scientists
How much he loved his family
His impatience with the academic measurement game
His ENIAC experience with Art Burks totally broke his notions of software IP
His consistent, pioneering hair style, long before Ted Koppel popularized it
John satisfied the first rule of inheritance: He was fortunate to have been around great minds during an intellectual moment when biology and computation were very close, and he imparted both the message and the excitement to his students.
|Mitch Waldrop - Aug. 12, 2015, 3:05 p.m.
Words fail; this is the saddest of news. Some scientist are brilliant because they ask the right questions. John was one of a handful of human beings who are blessed with brilliance of a higher order: in his work on adaptation, evolutionary algorithms and so much more, where others saw nothing, he recognised that there were fruitful questions to be asked. You would hear one of John's insights, slap your forehead, and say 'of course!' -- but you would never think such thoughts by yourself.
John was also uncommonly generous with his ideas, his time, his praise and his friendship. He always made you feel that you were the one he'd been waiting to talk to. And a conversation with John always left you feeling smarter.
|Beth Westerdale Kubitskey - Aug. 12, 2015, 7:01 p.m.
We all have mentors. They come from family, academic advisors, colleagues..and happenstance. John was my happenstance mentor. John was my uncle's PhD advisor in the 60s. When I started at UM in the early 80s as an undergrad, my grandmother said "go look up John," and I did. We would have lunch and coffee. I earned my BS in chemistry and these meetings ebbed and flowed as I started my family. Then I went back for my PhD in education. I treasured those lunches and coffees. One of the many gifts John had...he made me feel like he treasured those meetings, too. One story stands out. He asked me to share what I did in the summer. I talked about camping with my family, told stories of the children etc. He asked probing question, and was very interested. Then I asked "what did you do this summer, and he said he and a friend (who he named, but I forget) were working on a theory of the acquisition of language. The beauty -- he thought my vacation was just as interesting. I think his legacy with me is a commitment to curiosity. That is what he wanted to talk about at our next coffee that never happened. I will remain curious.
|Nguyen Xuan Hoai - Aug. 13, 2015, 3:15 a.m.
I still remember the last time I saw John was at GECCO'2009, I heard some voice in the room "he must have been happy to see the growth of his (academic) children, grand children, grand grand children, ..." such a great and influential researcher, RIP Prof. Holland!
|Susan Fitzpatrick - Aug. 13, 2015, 10:10 a.m.
All of us at JSMF are saddened by this news - John was such an important part of our program supporting complex systems science beginning with our special initiative during the Centennial Fellows program and then on through our Studying Complex Systems research grants. His sage advise and good humor made our advisory panel deliberations and grantee meetings an absolute delight for the many years he remained involved. His was a rare, creative, brilliant mind and he will be much missed.
|Dorothy (Bowers) Sell - Aug. 13, 2015, 11:31 a.m.
I haven't seen John in too many years but have very fond memories of our family visiting the lake and the scary ride John to us on. Very fast driver!! My sincerest sympathy to his sweetheart of a sister and to all of his family. Memories never fade.
|DaLee (Bowers) Taylor - Aug. 13, 2015, 7:11 p.m.
Great memories visiting you and your family at Clear Lake. The time my sisters and I tied your shoe laces tightly together and all laughed as you spent all that time uniting them, laughing with us. Know he is laughing as he reads this in heaven. Just wish we had spent more time together.
|Tom Munnecke - Aug. 14, 2015, 10:23 a.m.
My condolences to the family...@Manja Holland, although I never met your father, his work deeply influenced my thinking. And although I have only visited SFI a few times, it too has been an influence on how I see the world (and, presumably, how I've influenced others to see their world). One can never fully appreciate how the threads of ones thoughts and actions propagate into the future, but be assured that your father's work has made a big difference in the world, beyond the obvious.

John Holland, whom I never met personally, has been a very strong influence on my work on biological sequences multiple sequence alignment, especially the SAGA algorithm that borrows many – most – of his ideas on GA in order to apply them to the multiple alignment of evolutionarily related biological sequences, a very important problem in biology. This framework proved powerful enough to allow the exploration of novel objective functions for evolutionary based multiple sequence alignments. One of them turned out to be the consistency based objective function that we later implemented in a dedicated heuristic and that eventually lead to a new generation of multiple sequence aligners. This work is almost 20 years old and still receives a significant number of citations – a clear tribute to the strength and versatility of the ideas initiated by John. I owe him a lot - like so many of us.
|Alison (Holland) Butler - Sept. 6, 2015, 10:55 a.m.
It will soon be a month since my dad passed away. It seems like months since it happened, as I feel like I'm walking through mud. It also feels like it never happened, as I can't believe that he was actually mortal. I do believe he was with us as long as he possibly could be and didn't so much give up, but made a decision.
It's wonderfully interesting to read so many stories. My father clearly had many, many children beyond my two sisters and myself. My memories and experiences were vastly different than his scientific children's. My background is fine art (took after my mother) and yet my dad's interests and expertise still applied to my passion. He was a renaissance dad--but let's be crystal clear about one thing--he was a TERRIBLE driving instructor. You, his scientific children, dodged that bullet.
There was a lovely comment made by Tom Westerdale"s niece about remaining curious. I had a sweet conversation with my dad, some months ago, about my 11 year old daughter. The gist of the conversation was how pleased he was with her "bright-eyed curiosity" of many things. He told me, "...that curiosity will serve her well and bring her success." His child-like curiosity served him very well.
I hope I can always conger up the sound of his laughter.
|Raven and Michael Scheiwe - Sept. 8, 2015, 11:59 a.m.
We met John through his daughter, Manja, a teen at the time but demonstrating a quiet yet robust intellectual curiosity tempered with kindness and humor...much like her parents. John and Maurita registered Manja in Headwaters Environmental Stations' Field Ornithology Course at MTU's Summer Youth Programs in Houghton MI, in the Upper Peninsula of MI. in 1990. Initially, John and Maurita corresponded via letters then a couple years later, we'd pick Manja up at their house in Ann Arbor on route to Pt. Pelee Provincial Park, Ontario, CA (birding hot spot) to witness the spring migration of birds. John greeted us with respect...always curious and interested in our work as naturalists/environmental educators. In later years, we had the privilege of spending time with John and Maurita at their Lake House in Gulliver. There, we saw the generous father, the loving partner, and the scientific genius...relaxed in the sweet embrace of water and forest. He made ordinary people feel extraordinary! We'll miss his presence in the world! However, we are convinced his spirit lives on in all who knew him and knew of him.
|Muaz Niazi - Sept. 25, 2015, 9:44 p.m.
John Holland's work has been an inspiration and paved the way for my research and doctoral thesis. He will be greatly missed indeed.
|Gretchen Holland Sleamon - Sept. 28, 2015, 8:22 a.m.
We just held a celebration of our dad's life at the UM botanical Gardens this weekend. It one of his favorite place to take us as kids. This place was, to us, a tropical haven in the winter (inside the conservatory), a place to hike and see the fist signs of spring, a splash in the streams to cool us off in summer, and a celebration of colorful fall leaves. The weather was wonderful: warm, sunny, breezy........a perfect fall day. I think he would have enjoyed this celebration himself, had he been there in person. I know he was there in spirit...in everyone's heart who attended, in the lovely stories shared among friends and family, and most of all in the laughter shared by those close to him.
His passing has left a void that can never be filled, but the memories I have of my life time with him will be with me forever. My dad gave me optimism, love for exploration and adventure, curiosity of the unknown, and his quirky sense of humor. His generous smile and big laugh will always be one of my greatest treasures.

MySpace To Host Free All-American Rejects Performance At The House of Blues on Monday, July 13
Myspace has been running a free concert series called The List--a pretty interesting deal in that, if you befriend The List's Myspace page on the networking site, you can get into certain free performances when the company decides to put them on in your city. And it's not just slouches offering up the free shows: Past concerts have included performances from Green Day, My Chemical Romance, The Roots, LCD Soundsystem, Smashing Pumpkins, Taking Back Sunday and Serj Tankian.
Now, it's Dallas' turn. And, next week at the House of Blues? We get The All-American Rejects, which is OK, I guess, if you're like my sister and you think you "kinda, maybe, like that song about giving your ex hell or whatever," as I was told in a cellphone conversation yesterday afternoon. Maybe you fit in that boat? OK, well, get to friend requestin'. Looks like the first 1,200 are the ones who get on the list for the show.
(Oh! The List! Now, I get it.)

Add this chart to your site:
Copy and paste this HTML:
Ophthalmic photographers work in ophthalmic medical centers, and their primary job is to capture close-up images of patients' retinas, corneas, and other ocular structures. These images can be used to diagnose problems and can also be used to document diseases, surgeries, and treatments. They will have to use a variety of specialized equipment like microscopes and cameras to capture two-dimensional and three-dimensional photos. They will have to know how to conduct tests, such as using dye to obtain an angiogram of the eye. They will need to know how to develop exposed film and mount and label slides to be included in a patient's medical chart.Read More...
They may also be required to clean and maintain the equipment that they work with. They will have to work very close to the patient and will need to have a calm, reassuring manner. This is so they can instruct the patient's gaze and ensure that they obtain the necessary results. They should have a strong attention to detail so that they can easily detect differences in patients' eyes and find correct diagnoses. An ophthalmic photographer works with technology, so they should be comfortable using computers and other digital equipment.
There is no formal training program for ophthalmic photographers, but there are many programs in ophthalmic technology that include photography in their curricula. It is also possible to learn on the job or in medical programs. Obtaining an associate's degree in ophthalmic technology will teach other useful skills that could be applied on an ophthalmologist's team, which makes an applicant especially appealing.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Ophthalmic Photographers, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. During their first five years in the workforce, individuals in this position earn $39K on average. Survey participants with five to 10 years under their belts see an only a slightly bigger average of $41K. Ophthalmic Photographers see a median salary of $47K after reaching one to two decades on the job. Veterans who have worked for more than two decades do tend to make the most in the end; the median pay for this group is $52K.

Skip to comments.Many major former Romney supporters not backing him this year?
Posted on 01/28/2011 10:06:30 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet
Most them arent definite nos, but even if theyre holding out for the time being merely to see who else jumps in, thats not encouraging. Some, like Judd Gregg, may end up endorsing him anyway but might want to see if Daniels (or Huntsman?) declares first. Others, like DeMint, who have embraced the tea party full-fold almost certainly arent going to endorse him unless the entire true conservative bench decides not to run. Either way not encouraging.
My favorite part? Hot on the heels of a rumor that Mitt might skip Iowa, theres now a rumor circulating that hell skip South Carolina too. That makes superficial sense since both are social-conservative strongholds, but have we learned nothing from the Giuliani catastrophe, my friends?
As much as anything else, it calls into question just how far ahead of the pack he is as the 2012 contenders emerge. Even as Romney tries to project inevitability by signing up top GOP money men in Washington and New York, the defections suggest hes seen as far from a sure thing even among insiders. After all, if top Republicans were willing to commit to Romney four years ago when he was a lesser known commodity, why wont they get on board now when hes a household name in the political circles and clearly among the most formidable candidates for his partys nomination?
Romneys top strategists in [South Carolina] who also are DeMint advisers indicated that they hadnt heard from their 2008 candidate and were unlikely to get behind him this time
Peter Brown, a top GOP donor in Columbia who also served on Romneys state finance committee in 2008, explained why he was not committed again.
The word on the street is that Romney will skip South Carolina, Brown said. Most conservatives believe we need a Jim DeMint-type, assuming Jim will not run for president, someone who really wants to push for a limited federal government not a government that will grow more slowly.
Another possibility: His former South Carolina team might be convinced that Romney not only cant win the state, he cant win in the south more broadly. Whether thats because hes suspect on abortion or because hes from Massachusetts or because of his faith, I dont know, but PPPs polling of some southern states suggests hes having difficulties throughout the region. And by difficulties, I dont mean hes in second behind Huckabee. I mean hes in fourth, way, way out of the lead, with a favorable rating among Republicans between 50 and 60 percent. If this is all about RomneyCare, Im not sure why the objections would be so much sharper regionally. Any theories, southern readers?
The jerk o*f sends me crap in the mail.
The jerk o*f sends me crap in the mail.
Well, if it worked for Rudy.
Wow, Allahpundit jut can't bring himself to even mention Sarah Palin's name. Like a blind man unable to find an elephant in the living room.
Oh noez
What to do What to do...
The word on the street is that Romney will skip South Carolina,
I was in South Carolina for their primary in 2008...
I was there working for Duncan Hunter...
John McCain had the most trivial lack of campaign you ever saw...
But he still won SC...
I think we're gonna need someone who knows more about war than business. I don't think Romney knows much about either but he certainly knows jack shiite about military operations. If you can look at what's happening in this world and not see a big one on the horizon, you are blind.
Palin/Bolton should do the trick.
Do I dare mention that "The Donald" Trump may decide to jump into the fray!..
I really wanted to vote for him, but he dropped out before the NY primary.
Might as well just call it Obama/Biden.
I don't see how he's going to be able to defeat Obama, assuming he wins the nomination.
Both of 'em are liberal scumbags too. Great graphic aside from that glaring omission. :)
Please explain your comment.
I think you know exactly what I'm saying.
Haven't run into many LDS in the south. They are there, but nothing like from KC on west. They are pretty much a lock for Romney if he runs.
He doesn't look or talk southern, isn't seen wearing anything but fancy clothes. That doesn't play well with the working class.
If you want to win the conservative south, you have to relate.
Someone who can talk while frying chicken and making kids do homework.
Excuse me?
That you're ready for ZOT?
I'll guess that he doesn't think Sarah can win, but that he'll support her and vote for her when she's the nominee.
You're saying that you're mentally deficient and looking to find your way home? Worry not! It's that way, my lad. :)
And get him a huntin' license!
The only one that comes to mind is Hunstmann, although I would be holding my nose if I had to vote for either Huckabee or Romney.
. That is not to say that I am always 100% on board with the GOP or, as I see it, that is not to say that the GOP is always 100% on board with me and, judging from the lack of love Ive seen for John McCain around here during the 2008 election,
Check his homepage; he's mad at us because we didn't "show enough love" for McCain.
Don't underestimate Romney, he can win without S. Carolina, and no matter what, don't underestimate Obama. God help us, but he WILL be tough to beat.
I've decided not to feed the trolls, even ones who've been here awhile, unless there's a good reason. It's not up to me to determine who gets to stay here.
I guess I don't understand the sit-it-out thing: there's always a lesser of two evils.
You only have so many elections in your lifetime. Waiting around with your thumb up your _ss for the perfect candidate is like a surfer waiting for the perfect wave- it may not come.
I was a political dork when I was young but I voted. I voted for Reagan twice but I voted for Ross Perot the first time he ran and we got Clinton and the AWB.
They're fixing to try us all again.
I have been saying for months that we're probably going to lose the Whitehouse. The party is hopelessly divided. Sarah Palin doesn't fix that, she exacerbates it. Giving her your lunch money doesn't change that. It didn't help Ron Paul either. Lots of conservatives sent him money and were furious when he lost his primary battle and outright refused to vote for McCain because they were way overinvested in him. McCain, incidentally, LOST WITH SARAH PALIN as his running mate. Think I'm wrong? I have two words for you "Christine O'Donnell".
Exactly. Don't trust him far as you can throw him.
Miss Christine O'Donnell never won an election. Governor Sarah Palin has won at least five of them, including the first female and youngest governor in her state's history. Talk about apples and oranges.
The problem is in your mind.
You've been listening to the enemy, and he has you by the gonads.
Vote with your heart, for what you think is right.
After the primaries, it will be clear.
You are 100 percent right, I think. People still flock to liberals when we think they have been cured of their disease. They haven't. They think the "right" liberal can solve the problems.
Mcnutts making a BEELINE back to washington to vote yes on the bailout pissed off conservatives and in my mind did him in.
With that, you run into what Democrats do. Look at Kerry and his "hunting" photo. Wearing flannel with a bright orange vest, hand wrapped around a shotgun barrel. Or Clinton when she's talking to a predominantly black group. It just seems like an overdose of being completely fake. Doesn't come off well for anybody.
Bush fatigue did him in as much as anything IMO. Obama, as you'll recall, exploited that very well. Obama beat him. period.
Will these "most" conservatives get their heads out of their butts in time to recognize that Sarah Palin is exactly that person?
Bush did us no favors and that is for certain.We pissed him off raising hell against amnesty and what do you know right after that we(the republicans) starting losing everything.
I guess that beats all.
Kooks seem to be right lately. Ya think?

Choose what of these changes you like or don't like to find some way to balance Infestor.
Update: 4 polls were added
1st change:
Make Fungal Growth not immobilize units but slow their movement. Units will move 50-70% slower. Numbers can be changed.
2nd change:
Make that Fungal Growth can't kill units but will damage them until 1 HP remains. It's like the Plague from Brood War but damage is the same as it is.
3rd change:
Reduce Fungal Growth radius of effect. It's really simple change. It's similar to Ghost EMP nerf.
4th change:
Remove mana upgrade from Infestor Pit. It's similar to High Templar Khaydarin Amulet nerf.
5th change:
Neural Parasite cant be used on Massive units. This change is mainly for Mothership steal balancing.
6th change:
Make infestor 3 supply instead of 2. So you cant make too many of them in 200/200 unit composition.
7th change:
Give Infested Terran eggs the same amount of HP as Infested Terran itself. So it's actually usefull to focus eggs before they spawn.
8th change:
The fungal becomes a projectile. So you can dodge it.
9th change:
Fungal Growth can affect your own units like Psyonic Storm/Hunter Seeker Missle or Plague from BW. So you will target enemy units more accurate.
