The reason is people attending the event are really in pain from the set-up of the room! Meetings are not only going green but ergonomic too. Room sets in the standard means people face the front in rows and in straight lines, which have scientifically been found to create stress on the body and a diminished attention span for participants.

Not Short On Laughs
Comedian Martin Short will be the featured performer for the Lucy Town Half-Marathon and 5K weekend.
Chautauqua Striders, the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena and the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy announced Tuesday the comedian will take the Reg Lenna Civic Center stage Oct. 12 for a 7:30 p.m. performance.
Short is widely known for his work in comedy, particularly through Second City Television and "Saturday Night Live," where he is both a former cast member and a three-time host – which recently earned him a spot in the 5-timers club skit in the SNL episode hosted by Justin Timberlake. He has starred in such iconic comedy films as "Three Amigos," "Mars Attacks!" "Father of the Bride" and its sequel, and has created the characters of Jiminy Glick and Ed Grimley.
Most recently, Short hosted the "Saturday Night Live Christmas 2012 Special," was named by Vanity Fair in their January 2013 issue as "Hollywood's Most Beloved Comedian" and is working with Lorne Michaels to create a new television show on NBC.
"I've personally talked to a number of people about comedians they would be interested in seeing," said Kurt Silcott, CEO for the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena.
"People locally, people in Buffalo and places within driving distance," Silcott continued. "I've mentioned a number of names, but one name always came back a winner; every person I asked has told me that they would go to great lengths to see Martin Short. I recall him in the movie 'Innerspace,' and I'm excited that he will be performing right here in Jamestown. I think we'll have people register for the race, simply to get the inside track to get tickets to his performance. We've seen the success of our Friday night comedy, and I believe that Jamestown has a thirst for comedy."
"Martin Short is one of those rare entertainers I can mention to my son, my husband, and my father and all of them want tickets," said Deb Kathman, executive director for Chautauqua Striders. "His popularity crosses generations, which will make for a really fun show."
An exclusive pre-sale window is available to registered race participants only from now until June 31 by visiting LucyRace.com or calling the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy at 484-0800 during regular office hours – Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Registrants will be able to buy up to eight tickets at a time by entering a code received via email after registering for either the 5k or half marathon online. Race registration is also available at LucyRace.com.
Tickets will go on sale to the general public on July 1 at 10 a.m.
"Martin Short is one of the great entertainers of our era," said Journey Gunderson, executive director for the Lucy Desi Center for Comedy. "He's a legend. The chance to see him live in Jamestown is once-in-a-lifetime."
Runners of all abilities will come to the Jamestown area on Oct.12-13m Columbus Day Weekend, for a weekend of events including a 5k run, a 13.1-mile half marathon, a sports expo at the Jamestown Savings Bank Arena and a "Night of Comedy" featuring Martin Short. The 5k run will take place on Oct. 12, and the half marathon will be held Oct. 13. The goal of the weekend is to promote a healthy lifestyle and the Jamestown area.
The USATF-certified course, which begins and ends in Jamestown, runs through Lakewood and Celoron. The course travels near the childhood home of Jamestown's own Lucille Ball and the Lucille Ball Memorial Park.
David Reinhardt, competition director for Chautauqua Striders with 20 years expertise as a coach and track & field event organizer, will be consulting with USATF road racing colleagues from across the nation to put on a first-class race in Jamestown. Reinhardt has organized many large athletic events, and as the Entry and Results chair of the 2003 USATF Athletics National Championships in Buffalo, he oversaw the first ever online entry for more than 2,000 athletes.
Univera Healthcare is the presenting sponsor for the weekend's events.
Lucy Town organizers are still seeking groups or individuals to serve as event volunteers. No running experience is necessary as there are a wide variety of roles needed for the weekend event. Positions may be available for a wide array of skills and interest, ranging from registering athletes and distributing information, to providing course side refreshments at water and food stations. For more information or to sign up, visit LucyRace.com.

If you've never listened to the playlist that accompanies each show, I highly recommend checking out the list for this week's show exploring the meaning and sounds of the approaching Jewish High Holy Days, "Days of Awe." You can hear full-length tracks of each song played in the program.
As we were preparing this program for rebroadcast, I was struck by the beauty and diversity of the music Mitch compiled, which is inspired by this sacred time. I looked a little more closely into the background of some of the songs, discovering some interesting history and modern context. Here are a few examples:
"On Rosh Hashanah"
Bassist David Chevan's 10-minute rendition of "On Rosh Hashanah" is a contemporary jazz composition that fuses Jewish and non-Jewish musical influences. Chevan, the son of Jewish immigrants from Poland and Russia, grew up in a Conservative-Egalitarian synagogue where he led services from the age of 10. He's melded sacred music with jazz for years, and he currently performs with an ensemble called The Afro-Semitic Experience. Their compositions blend a wide range of music influenced by both Jewish and African-American traditions, from 18th-century cantorial works to the music of Sly Stone and Mahalia Jackson. In this 2002 NPR profile of Chevan and Afro-Semitic pianist Warren Byrd, they describe how the point of their collaboration is to address differences and commalities among faiths and races in America.
"On Rosh Hashanah" is from Chevan's 2003 album, The Days of Awe: Meditations for Selichot, Rosh Hashanah, and Yom Kippur. A review of the album called it a "groundbreaking work if only because it is the first time that a jazz musician (or any instrumental musician) has ever made a recording solely devoted to the music of the Jewish High Holy Days." "On Rosh Hashanah" features Chevan, The Afro-Semitic Experience, and trumpeter Frank London. Like many of the works on the album, it's based on a 1907 recording by the famous early 20th-century cantor Josef "Yossele" Rosenblatt.
"Rivers of Babylon"
Rabbi Sharon Brous sent us this version of Psalm 137 (expressing the yearnings of the Jewish people in exile following the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem) as one example of "the vibe of services at IKAR." Originally recorded for an IKAR Shabbat CD, she says it is also used for High Holy Days, and she calls it "one of the most soulful compositions" she's ever heard. It's based on the 1972 version written by Brent Dowe and Trevor McNaughton of The Melodians — a 1960's Jamaican rock-steady reggae trio. It first appeared in the sound track to the 1972 movie The Harder They Come — a film based on the life of Ivanhoe "Rhyging" Martin, a Jamaican criminal who achieved fame in the 1940s. Many other musicians have covered it, including Boney M, Sinead O'Connor, the Neville Brothers, and Sublime.
As in her conversation with Krista, the influence of the late Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel on Brous surfaces again in this quote from IKAR's Web site: "Heschel taught that music is the only language that is compatible with the wonder and mystery of being."
The lead female voice on "Rivers of Babylon" is Jessica Meyer, a former IKAR member who taught prayer music to children and sang at services. A former actress (she was in Roman Polanski's The Pianist), Meyer gave up a burgeoning Hollywood career to become a cantor. She recounts what drew her to IKAR:
"I was a Hebrew School dropout. Disgusted with the Judaism 'Lite' espoused by the Conservative synagogue of my childhood, I went in search of a spiritually vibrant, politically engaged Jewish community committed to a culture of Jewish learning and prayer. I did not find it until I came to an IKAR service…
The music of prayer at IKAR is electrifying. The melodies range from Ashkenazi old school to Carlebach, to one inspired by a Sufi chant! The people who lead services are not performing, they're praying. (It is amazing how much closer people can come to a prayer when they have the freedom to explore for themselves – when there isn't a someone performing it for them.)
It took me many years, and three continents to find Ikar. It is a blessing to be a part of this community."
Check out the "Days of Awe" play list for other songs by Leonard Cohen, the BBC Symphony, and Barbara Streisand. Which ones resonate with you?

In the latest Rolling Stone issue:
RS: How do you feel about Paul reversing the L-M writing credits on "Back in the US"
Ringo: I think the way he did it was underhanded. He's wanted to do it for years. I'm not going to tell you his reasons; he'll tell you them. I thought he should have done it officially with Yoko. But he didn't. It was the wrong way to go about it.
Sorry Ritchie...I respectfully disagree. Does he actually think that Macca had not tried to bring the issue to Yoko in the past?
He makes a few other comments about Paul NOT being on the fringe. He says John WAS the fringe. Interesting comments.

Counterfeit, falsified, and substandard drugs are a dangerous threat to people around the world, including Americans. These drugs may include toxins or inert substances that do nothing at all. They may contain too much of an active ingredient or not enough. They may also be copies of prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications, imitating brand name drugs or generics. The people selling counterfeit medicine are depriving patients of life-saving or life-sustaining therapies. They also endanger global health by creating an environment for diseases to become resistant to drugs used to treat them. Given that 80 percent of the active ingredients in medications used in the United States originate abroad, primarily in China and India, we have a vital interest in ensuring the safety of an ever more complex global drug supply chain.
The Department of State engages in the fight against counterfeit medicines using a multi-faceted approach. First, because counterfeiting often occurs where regulations are weak, the State Department has brought foreign drug regulators to the United States and conducted sessions abroad for training and meetings with their U.S. counterparts, from the Departments of Health and Human Services, Justice, and Homeland Security to the U.S. Agency for International Development. These meetings highlight the importance of an interdisciplinary, whole-of-government approach to the combat of counterfeits and provide our foreign partners useful information on best practices, as well as contacts for collaboration.
Second, the State Department recognizes that consumers have a vital role in combating the proliferation of counterfeit medicines. The State Department funds public outreach projects to increase consumer awareness. The funds, which are managed by American embassies overseas, are used to organize workshops, seminars, discussion groups, media campaigns, and distribute publications that cast light on counterfeit and substandard medications and inform the public about how they can protect themselves. For example, the U.S. Embassy in Phnom Penh recently worked with regional governments, industry groups, and NGOs on an awareness campaign that targeted youth through a contest for a counterfeit medicines outreach campaign slogan. They received over 2,000 entries, and posters with the winning slogan will be displayed in pharmacies nationwide.
Third, trafficking in counterfeit medicine is a crime in many countries that undermines confidence in the health sector, threatening the health and safety of individuals, as well as adversely affecting healthcare delivery. Criminals engaged in this illegal activity break local laws protecting the medicine supply and laws that govern commerce across borders.. To continue to address the issue, we are working to enhance current capabilities and collaborate in regional efforts, as well such as the Lower Mekong Initiative. The U.S. government is active in international bodies like the World Health Organization (WHO), which is helping countries worldwide develop stronger regulatory systems. In fact, a U.S. delegation with representatives from the Department of State is attending the 2012 WHO World Health Assembly meeting in Geneva. This year's meeting, taking place May 21-26, will consider a number of items, including a proposal to address counterfeit, falsified, and substandard medications. The U.S. Government is also active in other settings, such as the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, to exchange best practices among regulators, as well as law enforcement officials.
Finally, in addition to its own initiatives, the Department of State works in partnership with other U.S. government agencies, the health care community, patients, civil society, and the pharmaceutical industry to ensure that patients receive safe medicines and that those who put patients' lives at risk can be prosecuted. There is no simple solution to the issue of counterfeit medicines -- the problem has global dimensions and requires a global, multifaceted, and coordinated approach to stem the flow of these illicit products that endanger lives.
Joseph in New York City:
Counterfeit medicines pose a tremendous risk to the health and safety of everyone, especially children. Much more needs to be done to address this growing threat, especially online. Many Americans, desperate to get their hands on necessary but expensive medications, have turned to online pharmacies. However, there is evidence to suggest that much of what it sold through these online pharmacies are counterfeit drugs. At www.GiocondaLaw.com, we have been using cutting edge technology and applying existing laws to combat online counterfeiting, but much more needs to be done.

Tianjin, China/Nairobi, 21 November 2002 - Officials from eight Asian governments are meeting here under the auspices of the Basel Convention on the Transboundary Movement of Hazardous Wastes and Their Disposal to seek solutions to the growing deluge of electrical and electronic wastes - popularly known as e-wastes.
"A few decades ago, very few families in wealthier countries and communities owned a personal computer or other electronic devices," said Executive Director Klaus Töpfer of the United Nations Environment Programme, under whose auspices the Basel Convention was adopted in 1989. "Today PCs are becoming widespread in homes and are ubiquitous throughout the business world and in organizations of every kind. The emerging issue of e-wastes needs to be tackled urgently as the production and use of PCs continues to rise dramatically," he said.
A number of Asian countries are generally considered to be the main importers of e-wastes generated around the world. Importing countries can earn significant income from refurbishing used PCs and disassembling obsolete PCs, monitors, and circuit boards and then recovering the gold, copper and other precious metals.
End-of-life PCs as well as printers and other related equipment are made of highly sophisticated blends of metals, plastics and other materials. They also often contain hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium and mercury. Workers in e-waste operations may face dangerous working conditions where health, safety and environmental standards may be compromised. A variety of potential solutions are being discussed at the Tianjin meeting.
For example, dismantling can be made easier and safer by incorporating these concerns at the design stage. Manufacturers can be given responsibility for managing the wastes resulting from the equipment they sell. National capacities and legislative frameworks for monitoring and controlling transboundary movements of this priority hazardous waste stream can be strengthened.
The meeting will also consider how to start producing authoritative data on e-waste streams, and it will start evaluating current technical practices. The environmentally sound management of electronic wastes is an important element of the Strategic Plan now being developed by the member governments of the Basel Convention.
This Plan will be finalized at the sixth meeting of the Parties to the Convention, which will be held in Geneva, Switzerland from 9 - 13 December. The Asia-Pacific Regional Scoping Workshop on the Environmentally Sound Management of Electronic Wastes is the first intergovernmental meeting to be held on the e-wastes problem in Asia. Organized at the initiative of the Basel Convention Regional Centre in Beijing and the Secretariat of Basel Convention, the meeting runs from 19 - 22 November. Participants include government representatives from China, India, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. Resource persons come from Canada, China, Japan, the US and the Secretariat of the Basel Convention.
The meeting is hosted by China and has received financial support from Australia, Canada and Japan.

There is a petition going circulating asking Bowling Green University to rescind its decision to cut 11% of its faculty—nearly 100 positions—while simultaneously planning to increase enrollment. The petition reads:
Slashing faculty numbers while planning to increase enrollment by 6,000 students (as you publicly announced in 2012) will greatly diminish BGSU's position as one of Ohio's top-rated public universities. Your plans would compromise the education of current students, and it would reduce the prestige of degrees that have already been granted by BGSU.
The decision is designed to save $5.2 Million, just over the $5 Million that the university is set to lose as a result of Ohio's recent budget cuts to public university education.
On the one hand, this is a story that will be repeated over and over in the coming years. On the other hand, why is it that the university chooses to fill the entirety of its budget gap by letting faculty go? There was no announcement about cutting administrators, pairing back expensive sports programs, and halting an expensive building plan. Here is what the The Bowling Green State University Faculty Association said:
"[T]he $5.2-million savings is suspiciously close to the $5 million number that BGSU officials have floated as the loss from state share of instruction under Ohio's new funding plan," the statement indicates. "In other words, Mazey may have decided that faculty alone should absorb any budgetary challenges. It's certainly easier than cutting six-figure administrators, in-the-red athletics, expensive residence halls, luxurious renovations to the rec center, high-priced outside consultants, failed football bowl games, or Mazey's team of spin doctors which, as Mazey administration spending indicates, are her true priorities."
It does seem that the University is cutting the faculty in a disproportionate and severe manner, especially given the announced intent to increase enrollment. It would be much better to cut administration and sports teams. But the sad fact remains, colleges like Bowling Green are going to suffer as public funding is cut back, student debt levels depress enrollments, and alternatives to college emerge. At the same time, technology will begin to displace many faculty members and allow colleges to educate more students with fewer professors.
Given the changes coming to higher education, it is important that colleges and universities adapt intelligently. We might start by cutting back on administration and luxury dorms. One big question is whether tenured faculty positions will continue to make sense at a time that demands flexibility and innovation. It is worth noting that Bowling Green cut exclusively amongst adjuncts and part-time faculty, leaving its tenured faculty untouched. How much longer that will continue to happen is real question.

Rhea's Debuts New Sandwich Loosely Based On Mission Dogs
— By Erika Kali |
Earlier today, James Choi of Rhea's Deli, broke the word that they have created yet another sandwich to add to their rather massive deli roll call. This new sandwich has been dubbed "The Mission Street" and is inspired by everyone's favorite 2am regret: the bacon-wrapped hot dog.
We here at Uptown Almanac (aka me) took it upon ourselves (myself) to sample the newest addition to the clan, and immediately ordered one as soon as the news leaked out (also it was lunch time and we (I) was hungry). The sandwich looks like any other sandwich from Rhea's, but there's more than meets the eye between the Acme buns. The bacon is crispy, the cherry peppers are a delight, and the bbq sauce was not overkill—in fact it was just the right amount. Thankfully, it tastes nothing like the Mission dogs you ate Saturday night after stumbling out of Beauty Bar without a care in the world for your bowels. Nor does it contain any actual hot dogs - that has been replaced by regular old ham.
All in all, we (I)* would reccommend trying the Mission St sandwich. Go ahead, be adventurous and try something new for once.
*not an actual food blogger, so sorry for not talking about the "essence of the sandwich" or whatever you foodies say.

No more than three...Usually, one or two...May I suggest you make similiar pizzas and taste test them side by side, using several people to judge what is better...i.e. Margherta plus Italian Sausage
Wouldn't that be 4 or 5 toppings? (tomato, cheese, basil, evoo?, sausage)Part of this is is how you define toppings. When I make a mushroom pie, it has: mozz, mushrooms, parm, black peppr, and truffle oil. How many toppings is that? 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5?
Could you define a topping as something that will impact the baking characteristics, and a flavoring as something that will only affect the taste, without changing anything else?I've no experience with truffle oil, but it sure sounds tasty. Is it light? Heavy? Wet? How does the pizza bake change when you use it?
For me, higher numbers of ingredients means diminishing amounts used.

Listen to these sounds of black holes merging and falling into one another and the "white noise" of the Big Bang. A TED Talk with Janna Levin that stirs the mind.
An astrophysicist who studies the shape of the universe, Janna Levin has also explored her science by writing a novel about two pivotal 20th-century mathematicians, Kurt Gödel and Alan Turing. Both men pushed at boundaries where mathematics presses on grand questions of meaning and purpose. Such questions, she says, help create the technologies that are now changing our sense of what it means to be human.

Share a Reflection
I don't think that's a fair reflection on the history of science. I think we can say we are improving our understanding (of the universe, for instance), but every major turning point in the history of science has opened up for us far more questions than it has answered. It has allowed us to open our minds and our understanding to a whole new variety of possibilities. To paraphrase Bertrand Russell's famous comment regarding philosophy: it is not the goal to find THE answer, but to keep us moving forward.
Sorry to put this here, but I can't find another feedback form.
The question you posted:
How do you reflection on Levin's statement that "we're getting closer to the truth even though we can't always prove it.
doesn't seem to be grammatical.
It SEEMS to mean "what are your reflections on..." or "how do you reflect upon..." but I'm really not sure.
Perhaps you'd like to fix the question to help others.
there is no "R" in Godel (with an umlaut). The lips are puckered to pronounce the umlaut, but it doesn't make an "R" sound. Saying "Gerdel" is not the correct pronunciation.
I am "truthfully" intrigued by the use of reflection as a verb. In effect, that is a truth that is becoming more and more prevalent in the American reality. Thank you, Krista, for such a program. Always engaging, always stimulating. Reflecting on Levin's statement that "we're getting closer to the truth even though we can't always prove it." is not an exception. The reality is just when, where and how we define "truth". Time and space in conjunction with the "howness", a term frequently used by philosopher, mystics especially Sufis, all affect what falls in or out of truth. What is this truth to which we are getting close? Throughout human history, humans have been getting closer and closer to a truth, no matter what that truth is, be it scientific (mathematical, physical...) on one side or philosophical (metaphysical, spiritual, religious...) on the other. The cumulative knowledge make it so, in general, that truth is clearer, more so as we incrementally advance that knowledge. I believe that this doesn't mean that someone, somewhere throughout the time of accumulating the human knowledge, did not reach, somehow, the truth at its utmost certainty. I believe that Levin's statement might have been more accurate had it stated that we are getting closer to proving the truth rather than "… we can't always prove it". If the question is about the universe, the truth is more so provable mathematically in the most primordial and physical sense of Mathematics, than ever before. If the question is the creation, particularly beyond the "zero nanomoment" and the creator of that Universe, the truth is still so fluid and not as physically provable without the help of some other finite or infinite dimension, be it faith, metaphysics or some other logical or illogical way, since proving non-physical is not always achievable with the physical alone. The truth is that, admittedly, we are limited in what we can know about the "Truth", if at least temporarily. Great show, great subjects, Krista. Thank you, Moulay
"with the truth one cannot live" Otto Rank
Scientists assume that there is "A Truth", lying in state, waiting to be discovered. That each step we take to uncover it takes us closer to The Truth one additional iota.
Every description of reality, be it by observation or physical model, is necessarily partial and incomplete. We all resemble the proverbial blind Indians describing an elephant they know by touch.
The attempt to explain the universe and human existence using physics and brain chemistry alone is necessarily a reductionist, "blind Indian" view.
This is where God comes in. It is the indescribable infinity that encompasses the universe, of which we can receive fleeting, partial, imperfect glimpses -- guided by the power of awareness.
And this is the explanation of free will. We all possess free will, whether or not we are aware of it. One cannot make the simplest moral choice without free will.
It is not the narcissistic, "New Age" free-will that purports to wield control over our entire existence; rather, it's the fleeting ability, guided by awareness, to navigate between constraints of reality and the free-will actions of our neighbors.
So if physics or biochemical models cannot describe free will, its source must come from the realm beyond them.
It makes me personally think of a few passages from Rebecca Goldstein's book about Kurt Gödel ("Incompleteness - The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Gödel"). I guess my attitude about that statement depends very much upon "how much" truth we're shooting for, and if it matters to you that there might be an endpoint to the game, that we can't overreach, with a vast array of truths still "out there" forever beyond our reach. If you're going for broke so to speak, assuming that in principle it's possible for us to zoom in on each and every truth, then I do think that assumption must always be a matter of faith not proof, precisely because of Gödel's work. Here are the passages that statement made me think of. Mull over them a bit, and I think you might get the gist of why I feel the way I do:
From "Incompleteness - The Proof and Paradox of Kurt Gödel" (pg. 202):
Gödel himself was far more reserved about drawing conclusions concerning the nature of the human mind from his famous mathematical theorems. What is rigorously proved, he suggested in his conversations with Hao Wang as well as in the Gibbs lecture that he gave in Providence, Rhode Island, 26 February 1951 (which he never published), is not a categorical proposition as regards the mind. Rather what follows is a disjunction, an "either-or" sort of proposition. That is, he was admitting that nonmechanism doesn't follow, clean and simply, from his incompleteness theorem. There are possible outs for the mechanist.
According to Wang, Gödel believed that what had been rigorously proved, presumably on the basis of the incompleteness theorem is: "Either the human mind surpasses all machines (to be more precise it can decide more number theoretical questions than any machine) or else there exist number theoretical questions undecidable for the human mind."
What exactly did Gödel have in mind with this second disjunct. I "think" that what he is considering here is the possibility that we are indeed machines -- that is, that all of our thinking is mechanical, determined by hard-wired rules -- but that we are under the "delusion" that we have access to unformalizable mathematical truth. We could possibly be machines who suffer from delusions of mathematical grandeur. What follows from his theorem, he seems to be suggesting, is that just so long as we are not delusional as regards our grasp of mathematical truths, just so long as we do have the intuitions that we think we have, then we are not machines. If indeed we truly have the intuitions that we do, then it is impossible for us to formalize (or mechanize) all of our mathematical intuitions, which means that we truly are not machines. Of course there is no "proof" that we know all that we think we know, since all that we think we know can't be formalized; that after all, is incompleteness. This is why we can't rigorously prove that we're not machines. The incompleteness theorem, by showing the limits of formalization, both suggest that our minds transcend machines and makes it impossible to "prove" that our minds transcend machines. Again, an almost-paradox.
An extremely interesting conversation. I made me want to run right out and buy her books. The conversation regarding her thinking on religion and the last statement about there being no space until it happened (or words to that effect) is the most interesting to me. Would like to read more about her thoughts.
I have a room of books on Religion and I would like to get outside of it.
I agree! I just listened to
I agree! I just listened to the latest interview on her new book, and have the same reaction. I see your note from 2010 and wonder how your experiences have been and would you recommend running out and buying her books? Did you find an interesting path, or a dead end?
I'm intrigued.
I really enjoyed listening to the mathematics, + truth, purpose podcast. I think that the truth can be proved and defended. We may differ on the basis for the proof or defense; I would rely on the scriptures more than a mathematical or scientific test as the method for the demonstration. First, I believe the words of Jesus: "I am the way the truth and the life. . ." John 14.6. This is not to minimize the beauty or progress that has been achieved through developing the concepts of particle theory, quantum mechanics, unraveling DNA and mapping the human genome. When I consider the question about truth I also think of the words of Pilate to Jesus: "What is truth?"
One of my sincere questions on how it happened is the stopping and turning back of time on earth, as recorded in the scriptures: Joshua 10.12-13 and 2 Kings 20.11. As a matter of faith I believe these events occurred as they were written. Perhaps the space-time understanding that Einstein developed brings some degree of explanation to this. My mother-in-law recently challenged me on God's first creation. I was thinking well of course it was the heaven and the earth. Her proposition to me was that the first creation was time, and the continuation of that thought is that God, being outside of and not limited by the time created, will at some point in the future cause the cessation of time. Even the concept of future is only from my perspective, not God's.
As concerning the concept of free will, and I would by-and-large agree with Levin's conceptualization, especially the difference between the human constructs and the forces described through mathematical formulae. It may be a bit of a quip, that freedom is not free, but I think it speaks to the concept that we have limitations, responsibilities and purpose that define our understanding of freedom. Perhaps when we escape the boundaries of one reality – human or scientific – we then enter a new freedom that later we will challenge, and so on.
One poem that came to my mind during the podcast was Mary Oliver's poem "The Summer Day". If you have a moment, take some time to read this poem and reflect. It takes me from an abstraction of things we may not know to a specific grasshopper that we can see, handle and enjoy. This is kind of a passage from ethereal truths we can only dimly see, to the physical ones we can.
Mathematics, Purpose, + Truth was a segment that featured Janna Levin, a theoretical physicist who wrote a novel named A Madman Dreams of Turing Machines. She began her career in science with little interest, instead she thought that philosophy was asking all of the really good questions. Obviously she still pursued her career as a physicist but she has a special interest in areas where the scientific meets the philosophical. Specifically, she is interested in areas where truth cannot be defined or where truth is entirely humanly constructed.
One of the underlying concepts of her book was the idea that not all mathematical truths can be proven to be true but rather must just be accepted. Along these lines she talks extensively about what is real, what is not, and how we can tell the difference. Another idea that she brought up was that our convincing intuitions are specific to the type of beings that we are. An example that she brings up is that our visual perception quality peaks at the frequency for the color yellow, which is the color of the sun. She states that we are formed in a way that helps us decode the world around us. One of the other interesting points that she brings up is the idea of voting for government officials. This is an entirely humanly created process that she thinks is peculiar that we can all come together and agree to respect and follow the leadership of one man. As a student who is studying sociology at the same time, this podcast stresses the value in having the ability to distill the elements and the means of sociology and examine them individually for their truths. Janna Levin is not confined by social norms but chooses to see past them, not out of rebellion but as an exploration of what might be real that lies outside what we think is real.
Prof Levin,
I really enjoyed your unedited interview with Krista Tippet, especially the part that talks about a "Finite World". I'm and aircraft technician with Continental Airlines and a Chief in the Navy Reserves who enjoys learning about Space. What prompted me to email you was in your interview you said that the "World is Finite". After that I recalled a story in the news that a father & son team placed an I Phone with a video camera into a styrofoam capsule and launched it into Space (80 miles short) by using a weather ballon as it's power. The unit was launched from Newburgh N.Y. and it was retrieved 30 miles away from it's launch point. I discussed this with my coworker's but the didn't understand how this could land so close to is starting point. Could this be a "micro view" of something that travels in a straight line and arrives back or close to where it started? I have to purchase you books now... There's so much interesting things in books. Thanks again. Reggie Spence
Krista, i sent this email to Janna Levin. Take Care. Reggie.
I think Levin is speaking to the process of science, whereby scientific theories must be falsifiable. This self-correcting process of science (that religion, for example, lacks) results in a catalog of tested theories that provide the most reliable way of seeing nature as it actually is, which for Levin is where the truth lies regardless of our cherished beliefs. Nonetheless, because our senses evolved in a relatively confined natural environment, powered by a three-tiered evolutionarily jury-rigged brain notoriously prone to error, we have to be careful in claiming to have proofs of truth.
Well, falsifiable is a good
Well, falsifiable is a good start but Lakatos and others showed that it's really not a sufficient condition for a theory to be considered scientific. While I certainly agree with you that the issue is how to deal with the fallibility of our assessments I think the search is still on for the best way to do that.

Levin's "I think that the answers that we're going to get, the discoveries that we're going to make are going to be in mathematics" is the dimness before the dark. See Adam Curtis' BBC documentary The Trap for the lights out on quantification.
These ideas always give me
These ideas always give me the "wow" sensation. Though I am a redneck, I do have a degree in Physics. OK, I flunked out of it at grad school., but the blogger who said she likes the Iris DeMent song...I get it as well.
I just discovered On Being
I just discovered On Being and Krista Tippet and am really excited about scanning the archives. Though I'm really looking forward to it, I haven't listened to this show or read Levin's book yet. Therefore I should probably obey Wittgenstein's injunction but what the heck, this is the age of impatience. Re. the line in the blurb: "Their work laid the foundations for computer intelligence while challenging fundamental notions about how we can know what is true." it's always been my contention (despite having spent a career as a physicist) that nobody has yet been able to show that Godel's incompleteness results didn't forever damm attempts to argue that scientists are converging on any sort of definable truth. As a human activity it seems fine to me that scientists proceed with a belief in convergence but I think Godel's result present a profound challenge to epistemology and as a result lower the high horse of arguments about scientific omniscience a bit. But maybe Levin and Tippet clear this all up. Hope so !
The below is something I
The below is something I wrote earlier. Apologies, It's long, but it fits.... Thank you for your fine program.
Two rules of thumb in physics:
The simpler and more elegant a theory, the more likely it is to be correct.
To know is not to know what—but to know how.
Observation and common sense agree: Systems in conflict do not cohere. But while the forces in the universe seem to work together well enough, our models of them don't. Something is wrong, and that is why finding the Theory of Everything has become the "Holy Grail" of physics. It's done with math. One way math does it is to see what happens inside a universe of more than the four familiar dimensions of breadth, depth, height, and time (e.g., "movement"), and what they find is, by adding one or more dimensions to the right equation, they can enhance its simplicity, its resonance and, strangely enough, its chances of revealing reality.
Spiritual phenomena also unify when viewed from a higher plane. And since, like with physics, we have to start somewhere, why not begin with the assumption right action has intrinsic worth: that virtue is its own reward? And, again, we must define our terms if they are to reveal themselves. For example: Faith joins doubt because faith is not fact. It can't be. By definition. Yet faith is concrete. We wouldn't walk down the street without it, but it is the doubt in faith that gives us room to maneuver. Which is why, in a world where anything may be possible, it actually makes sense to cast our lot with the highest good we can conceive. If only to reveal us to ourselves. If for no other reason than to be happier. Don't we do this already in every other field of endeavor? As a matter of course? Why should "religion" be different? The optimist thinks, "There's got to be a way." The pessimist thinks, "Why try." (Who do you think stands the better chance of winning?)
Rising above the bickering gods of polytheism, monotheism, too, is a Theory of Everything. Just as physics addresses the how of everything, monotheism addresses the why. But monotheists who regard the idea of one God as nothing more than a number end up spawning as many gods as there ever were (and we are right back where we started). We need to go deeper and we can. For instance: By challenging religion, heresy helps faith understand more plainly what it is not, and see more clearly what it is. Heresy is not the enemy. (In fact, where would faith be without it?) And God: "Is there a God" is the wrong question. "Should there be a God" is what we need to know. And, interestingly enough, this is the question that puts theists and atheists on the same side, right where they ought to be.
If God is One, we don't join the True Faith, we are born in it, and whatever God we talk to, hears.
-- Kirk Perrow III
As a physician who undertook
As a physician who undertook both formal and lifelong education joyfully and seriously, even now that I am retired, I really get what Janna Levin is talking about when she states that the truth is beautiful and is like that old comedy line: "Ah knows it when ah sees it." When I would see a patient, usually I knew the diagnosis before I could complete my examination or perform any testing. Mathematical symmetry is often associated with truth, and even with beauty of a person or a scene such as trees perfectly reflected in water stained black. Therefore, I agree that we often know the truth based upon experience and gut feeling, though we are still required to try to prove it.
Really interesting
Really interesting conversation. In spite of her nuanced language, I think she ought to look a bit more closely at the history and sociology of science and technology because her assertion that scientists accept that they may be proven wrong is, well, wrong. She treads the timeworn path here that scientists are somehow above their socialization and are somehow more honest about their work is just not borne out by the history of science - the literature abounds with examples of how science and technology have been shaped by the personal beliefs, political commitments, and other "external" factors (I use external in quotes because as a sociologist of science I do not believe that there is anything truly external to the practice of science). To believe otherwise perpetuates what scientists seem to like - that they are beyond and above the rest of us.
This radio show was terrific,
This radio show was terrific, and intriguing. I literally couldn't leave the room till it was finished, and can't wait to read Janna's new book. Well done, and thank you!
your interview on N P R was
your interview on N P R was great although it was done in 2007 it is still relevant today 2014 .But there is one point where the
interviewer were ask you about your views that may be world changing and you gave a very excellent response about not
making fore going conclusion in math, science or anything that can help make our world more beautiful so I would like to give
you mine and that is mistakes. what are they can we as people afford some of the great mistake we make in the past in live the
more beautiful live in the future? but what is a mistake what math formula works!
OMG. It is so nice to know
OMG. It is so nice to know that someone thinks exactly like me. Exactly. It isn't really so much about us and are rediculous, smart ape constructs that we sadly cling to. Thinking from a scientific, reality based point of view doesn't detract from spirituality it magnifies it.
Janna Levin discusses how
Janna Levin discusses how important math and science are in life, even if everything in them are not completely understood. It makes me question what is real and what is not. Her book that she wrote on Turing and Godel really explains how the mathematicians shaped the technology that we have today (i.e. Turing and the computer). She also explains just how amazing the universe really is. She says in the interview that although she doesn't necessarily believe that God created the universe but she also says that Math \cannot necessarily disprove the existence of God either. She also explains that free will is not completely free because we are all binded by the laws of physics. "If something randomly falls in a certain way, how is that a gesture of will?" (25:32)
I really enjoyed this
I really enjoyed this broadcast and interview because I myself really like math along with her as she describes. I think that science today has really opened up almost another world to us as human beings. Science really changed the way that we live life and how we do things that we do on a daily basis. I think that her research and her novel is very interesting the way that it sounded in the broadcast. Kurt Godel and Alan Turing are two vey intelligent men that really revolutionized todays life. Math and science can bring a person very far and allow you to do many things in life and this really shows it. They took math and really took it to the next level with the way that they looked at certain aspects. They did stuff and tried to do stuff that other mathematicians never tried or never thought of trying. Overall this On Being discussion was one that i really enjoyed listening to and makes me want to check out her novel.
As to Belief, I completely
As to Belief, I completely disagree with your knowledge (from Belief) that "It doesn't matter what I believe." This theorem is an element of the set of all theorems which cause the Epistemology level of abstraction to show incompleteness. Epistemology is one of the levels of abstraction referenced by van Gigch. Epistemology is realized from Ethics & Aesthetics. However, I am not aware that van Gigch ever included C.W. Churchman's Morals non-system. Ethics & Aesthetics is realized from Morals. Morals is realized from Transcendence. Belief is in Transcendence and is our only "latch point" in Transcendence. Belief informs taxonomies of realizations through the layers of abstraction, which then results in what we form in Reality. It is, therefore, of paramount importance; singularly foundational to our Being. It is both the most abstract notion ("surreal vagueness") we have and yet is the source of all realizations from Transcendence. I would hope that you might reconsider the importance of Belief. There is, of course, more words to be offered on this topic.
Math is false and cannot and
Math is false and cannot and should not be used for engineering and nature. Can you add one apple with one orange? No, you cannot. Similarly, you cannot even add two apples, because no two objects of nature are equal. You cannot even describe any property of an apple using math. Thus math is false. For more examples take a look at The real numbers are false, because they are not objects of nature, they do not grow on trees nor can they be mined from earth. How can you create something true by using something false, like math?

Savouries are a part of indian festive cuisine. I have made other savouries like Thattai,murukku,omapodi but for some strange reason have never tried to make kara sev.I was always under the impression that it is difficult until SRIVALLI OF INDIAN COOKING CHALLENGE shared the recipe with members of the challenge and which turned out to be pretty simple.
The recipe shared by SRIVALLI IS:
1. Gram flour 2 1/2 cups
2.Rice flour 1 cup
3. Ghee 2 1/2 tsp( i added a little more to it)
4.Chilli powder 1/4 tsp
5.Pepper powder 1tsp
6. cooking soda a pinch(optional)
7. crushed garlic 2 pods ( optional)
Sieve both the flours together in a bowl. Add chilli powder, pepper powder and salt to it. Now add the ghee and mix it thouroughly till it texture resembles that of bread crumbs. Divide this mixture into 4 to 5 parts. Sprinkle little water to one part and knead into a dough of puri dough consistency. I f the dough becomes watery, add a little more of gram flour to it. Dough should be firm.
Heat oil in a kadai. Rub the dough on the kara sev ladle directly on the oil.Deep fry till golden brown in colour. Drain the excess oil and store it when cool.
I do not have a kara sev ladle , so used the murukku press instead.
This is a perfect evening snack......VERDICT given by my daughter.
Thank you srivalli.

Does a spring hold the top roller in the closed or open position (sprung closed / sprung open) ? Or - there is no spring.Do you still use the sheeter?
Holorim can you take a couple of pictures of the spring and ball and disc. Is the sheeter for sale? Are you in the US ?
Everthing except for the crank handle.
It does look good. I didn't anticipate the chain running between the sheeter gears. I like that. If I might make one suggestion, consider moving the drive handle to the top idler gear. If you do that, and if you turn the crank clockwise, the chain will be self tensioning and you shouldn't need to mess with another link or worry about chain tension.Dave
Did I miss the test on the PVC prototype? How did it work?Randy
Hey Jet I think you should bring one of those up here to the Shuswap as I ahve a pizza oven in my prep trailer that you could use and sell pizzas on the side of the road while you are here

Topic: Browser based rails console?
Does anyone know of a Browser based Rails console?
I'd like to open up an admin password protected console to my production server to query it and debug issues. It seems like it could be done, though a bit of an effort for a relative newbie like me.
The way I was thinking of doing it was to create a controller in my application to manage it (say ajax_debugger). When the user creates a debug session, a new thread is created to maintain the console state and it is tied to the user's session. When the user issues a command, an ajax handler sends the command as a query, the controller forwards it to the console thread and the thread output is forwarded to the ajax handler. The ajax handler prepends it to a div just below the command line. The thread is closed when the user's session ends (timeout or logout).
I did come across a few just now (where were these in my past searches!?). Does anyone have any experience with them?

heroku.com has one, though I'm not sure if it is home grown or if they leveraged an app out there.

Are CEOs out of touch with reality? I'd say a lot of you are. Although you CEOs don't have to go to extremes to improve things, most of you do need to do something, so listen up. If you don't want the long backstory, skip ahead to the last subhead.
About the title of this blogpost
Undercover Boss is the title of an American reality series. The premise is simple: an out-of-touch CEO puts on a disguise, takes a low-level job within his organization, and hears the truth about the company problems. After a week of play-acting, he goes back to his office and makes everything right again.
(By the way, I write "he" as I have yet to see a female CEO profiled. But I digress…)
Quick recap of the "Hooters" episode
For those of you who haven't seen the episode or read Ken's synopsis, the "star" of this particular show was CEO Coby Brooks of Hooters.
Hooters is a chain of restaurants featuring beer and chicken wings served by buxom young women in tight t-shirts and hot-pants. FYI: "Hooters" is a slang expression for breasts. In the United States, the cute Hooters owl-logo only misleads those who are certifiably clueless (you can see it on Coby's shirt in the photo below).
The entry leads visitors away from the hustle of the terminal and into a more relaxing environment.
The picnic box contains everything you need for a great meal, from sauces to cutlery.

The three Sugian ceremonies are (sequential). The word jawa here is equal to the word jaba (= 'outside') and refers to the bhuana agung or macro-cosmos, which is the environment of the individual human being (the counterpart of the inner world of the individual human being, the micro-cosmos or bhuana alit).

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: 10k Excellence from Balfron In full: My 4th year at this event and Balfron Schools show yet again why people come back year after year - superb organisation, good value entry fee, friendly welcome, chip timing, challenging course, quality medal, Tunnochs caramel wafer in the goody bag ;))equals lots of very happy runners!!Another great run at Balfron. Date of review: April 22, 2012
In short: Fabulous trail race, terrain not to be under-estimated!!!In full: This was a very scenic race in a lovely, breath-takingly beautiful part of the Lake District. The terrain was tough and not to be under-estimated, some parts worse than others, very rooty and rocky in places and reminiscent to me of parts of the West Highland Way, for people who know that route. I dithered for weeks before hand over should I use trail shoes or road shoes, in the end the weather was dry enough for road shoes, and i just about got away with it over the rough ground and boggy areas - but was glad of the extra support over the road sections (some fairly long uphill stretches of road near the start). In wet weather I would definitely wear trail shoes for this race. I carried with me a 500ml water bottle, a 250ml bottle of coke, and a number of gels and nuun tablets. The heat was unbearable at times, totally unrelenting sun, finished frazzled to a crisp with sunburn in new places ;). The marshalls refilled my water bottle at 2nd, 3rd and 4th checkpoints, and I finished with almost a full bottle left, so for me personally, the water was sufficient......but I do think it would have been a good idea to have an extra water stop between 2nd and 3rd, as this felt like a hell of a long way in the heat, maybe take a few tubs of water out on a quad bike? I appreciate the area is quite inaccessible in places. If I have any criticism I think it is only in the way the organisers website is presented - they are trying to make the races accessible to all, which is great - but I think in doing so they need to be a bit clearer over just how hard some of this terrain is. I agree with others that the cut-offs were very tight...I have done a couple of really quite tough ultra races with cut-offs (Highland Fling, Jurrasic Coast Challenge), but have never felt this kind of pressure to reach checkpoints before.....maybe that was the heat playing a part!!! I think the website needs to be a bit clearer over just what is involved. There was a 'challenge' option starting 2hrs earlier, maybe as a slow plodding type of runner I should have started in that group.....But, in the last 8 miles I over-took quite a few in the 'Challenge' who had started 2hrs before me, who would not have finished in time. I was there for the end of the race, and heard the organisers say there were 70 people still out on the course, with the sweeper runner also still out. So, thats my only gripe - and its a small one - But, TELL US HOW HARD IT IS....we dont mind ;)) we are runners, if we want to do a tough event we will :)) Oh and a cup of water at the end would have been good too, for the folks who had ran out.Spectator-wise - my support said it was one of the best events they have been to, in terms of plenty of really good quality fresh food on offer, and a really lovely atmosphere with people sitting out on the grass waiting for runners to come in. Also plenty to do in the immediate area during the day whilst the family etc are waiting for you to finish running. I loved sitting (collapsing) in my supports deck chair watching the last runners coming in, while I ate a much longed for ice lolly, then we had the singer entertaing us at the end with 'Country Road', near brought a tear to my eye ;)- just a brilliant end to the day.Overall, loved it, stunning place, fantastic run, friendly race.....be prepared for the terrain :)))))Date of review: July 4, 2011
In short: Another Brilliant 10k from Balfron SchoolsIn full: My second year here and I will keep on coming back. Nice scenic out and back course with some 'great' hills on the return. A warm welcome from the local school and flawless organisation as always. Good quality medal with the date embossed on it (better than when its printed on the ribbon I think). No fuss, you turn up, you are welcomed, you collect number, you run....Simples! Date of review: April 26, 2010
In short: Jurassic 2010 - Hard as Nails. In full: Do this if you fancy yourself as a Royal Marine ;)). Mud, mud and more deep thick clayey mud. Its not just the dinosaurs that got stuck in the mud!!! Huge cliff top ascents and the drops down shear flights of giant steps aint for the fainthearted. Glorious scenery, Day 3 is by far the best and the toughest of the three. Add some last minute sea fog, navigating an inland detour not being able to see hand in front of face, hurling tired legs over waist high sea-groynes, and a final drag through knee deep water on a flooded path and you will get an idea of what this challenge entails.I travelled down from Scotland for this event and I was not disappointed - a fabulous weekend with lovely friendly people, and a true test of your determination to finish. Date of review: April 1, 2010
In short: Nice scenic and well organised race. Great quality medal!In full: Great coastal scenery and a relatively flat route with one or two minor undulations. Very hot this year and the forecast rain never appeared which made it good for the spectators but heavy going for some of us slower runners towards the back! Quite a few water stations near the end only had lucozade sport on offer, when it would have been better to have more water avaliable, but that might be cos Lucozade were sponsoring this year, and its only a minor niggle, I could have carried my own!The medal was a nice 'heavy' quality with a good design which I liked, as it had the town clock and a picture of the Waverley paddlesteamer on it (a regular visitor to Helensburghs shores) so it was really nice to have a medal which actually represents something from the place you are running in. Mars bar, water and lucozade products at the end were more than adequate, who needs a skanky goody bag full of leaflets and crap you never use anyway? (Race for Life leftovers given out 3 years in a row aka the Great Scottish Run anyone? Nah, didnt think so).This is a very good example of a small local race doing it better than the 'Big Boys', and part of the reason I will keep supporting small events. Good work Helensburgh!!!Date of review: August 9, 2009
In short: Top Marks for Balfron VillageIn full: Excellent organisation and a friendly welcome makes this a great event, with a good strong community involvement. Add to that a nice medal engraved with the event date, and a decent t-shirt and for £14 entry you've got yourself a good morning out. Nice scenic hilly course, on a mostly single-track road, closed to traffic. Bit of a killer up hill for the last 1.5miles, after an already 'undulating' course. Plenty of water available and enthusiastic marshalling / support throughout.Highly recommended race in a nice part of the country. Well Done Balfron schools!Date of review: April 26, 2009
In short: Glorious Mountain Scenery and Fantastic WeatherIn full: A friendly and well organised marathon set amongst stunning mountain scenery, with a route that is mostly flat, apart from a slight gradual hill in and out of Corpach, and a long downhill past Banavie that played havoc on sore legs and blistered feet on the way back(as a previous post has mentioned, the footpath here is quite uneven and potholed so you need to keep your wits about you when tired).Sporadic but loud and enthusiastic support along the road from both tourists and locals. Drinks stations also sporadic and not quite where notes said they would be, and some energy drink / water stations had been amalgamated which caught me out slightly, so next year would make sure carried own drink, particularly sparse in mid-section of route, but lots of water at end. Police presence and marshalling at busy junctions but very low key over rest of route, leading to some 'interesting' manoeuvres from holiday caravans / campervans / motor cyclists! Very busy with traffic in some places and then really quiet in others, so a good chance to take in the mountain and loch side scenery and fantastic views of Ben Nevis on the return section. Another very hot year and no shade on the route probably added to the blistered feet, and route turned into strong wind for last 1.5m which made for tough going, but gave me a marathon pb by 6min, so definite potential on this course if it was a tad cooler, and overall a successful weekend, well organsised, with plenty of free tea / coffee and sandwiches at the end. Date of review: April 20, 2009
In short: Lovely route, but even more windy this year than last.In full: This is a great scenic race, with a very good course, the only drawback to a pb was the wind along the Ochills, which this year was even stronger than I remember it from 2007. Oh well, it is Scotland in March I suppose, it should be expected!Great atmosphere as always amongst the runners and very good local support this year along the route, lots of people out cheering, and excellent traffic marshalling from the local police at some major road junctions.My only (minor) winge is that this year it seemed very disorganised at the end. Last year the WRVS did a fantastic job, this year a couple of very young kids had been left alone to give out the medals and goody bags, nobody seemed to know where to go to collect t-shirts etc and there was no bottled water at the end (or in the goody bag)(only a table with cups way down the other end of the car park which a lot of people missed). The kids did their best but when faced with loads of runners finishing and nobody bringing them a restock of goody bags the poor kids were like rabbits in headlights. I thought there should have been some adults directing this part of things. Also I think it was a mistake to not put an opening and closing time for registration on the website, and then decide to do an on the day entry at the last minute. I got there for 8.45 and registered immediately, it was dead, by 9.30-45 it was total chaos with late arrivals. Not very good for a race starting at 10am!Overall though still a great race, and hopefully next year it will return to its normal venue where things will be a little less chaotic. Hopefully also the organisers will not fall into the trap of thinking bigger is better and stick to more manageable entry numbers, I think this year they were over-whelmed by the shear number of people entering on the day. Date of review: March 23, 2009
In short: Tough hilly course through some scenic countrysideIn full: I would highly recommend this race if you want a challenging hilly course, with as many steep down hills as ups (oh and there were a few 'flat' bits too!). A good scenic run in the countryside, mostly on single track roads with very little traffic, but with some sections on busier roads where you had to run single file on a narrow footpath. Excellent control of the traffic however, by the local police and marshalls. Overall very well organised and lots of marshalls en route, very cheery and lots of encouragement, so a big thanks to them and all at Lasswade AC for putting on a great friendly event. Oh and a special thanks to the Caretaker at Ferguson FC for ensuring a good stock of loo roll in the ladies loos!! Date of review: March 2, 2009
In short: Muddy Multi-terrain race. Good fun in the mud!In full: A good multi-terrain out and back along a muddy and loose stony covered dis-used railway line. The first 1km or so downhill is on a road, turn off onto the MUD...out and back on the old railtrack through Flanders Moss (the clue is in the name..its gonna be wet!!), then back out onto the road for an uphill finish at the rear of Buchlyvie school. Thank goodness this year they had decided to ditch the run around the waterlogged footie pitch to the finish!!Hard going on the legs after a few miles of rocky mud and would strongly recommend trail shoes for this one. As other people have said before me, this is definitely not a 'road' race. But I would recommend this race for some good muddy fun, just make sure you come prepared with change of clothes / shoes etc.Oh and the fruit scones in the village hall were excellent!! Nice t-shirt with runners names on it, and a decent goody bag with all you need, bag of crisps, mars bar, piece of fruit, bottle of water. Well Done Buchlyvie!Date of review: January 25, 2009

'It's a win-win'
To the editor:
During the winter months I do more reading than the summer and fall. This winter the magazines "Iowa Outdoor" and "Iowa Fish & Game" had several articles regarding, not surprisingly, on ecology. At the hospital, I read an article in a medical journal about how 50 percent of our rivers were so polluted they could not support aquatic life or be made safe for humans to drink. So much for the Clean Water Act. Among the top 20 pollutants are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, hydrocarbons, pesticides, herbicides, a mix of prescription drugs and e-coli in some rivers.
The mix of farm chemical run off is to blame for the green slime at the Mississippi Delta that was once a highly productive fish area but is now dead most of the year. You need only to drive a short distance in the county to see why. There were once upon a time fence rows and hedge rows with grasses, trees, and bushes that absorbed the majority of these chemicals, but now farmed into the ditch. Thirty feet along ditches and drains would stop 90 percent of these run-offs. If there are any "Stewards of the Land" left how about a 30-foot, wild-grass barrier and a few trees and bushes. Clean the water and help wild birds and other wildlife. All the articles noted in short that during a drought you should not plow the land in the fall due to wind erosion and evaporation, noting the roots and stubble left in place held in moisture. So how about "Stewards of the Land" plant a 30-foot barrier of grasses and bushes and trees?
It's a win-win. Help the water and wildlife. Trees and bushes help clean the air and slow the snow and wind from blowing over the roads, too.
