Ok… with the premiership all ready to kick off, here are my picks for the best young stars that have made a transfer this summer who are going to keep us glued to the TV and YouTube and all the football boards including this one. Carlos VelaNot quite the finished article yet, but under the tutelage of Wenger, I can see Vela blossoming into one of the most feared forwards in the world. He is obviously not going to dislodge Adebayor, but Bendtner might have to make a move up fast if he wants to keep the prodigious Mexican restricted to the Arsenal's FA cup side. I cant see that happen and Vela will have a run in the Arsenal first team at-least until Eduardo regains his fitness and form. He shows great composure and anticipation in front of goal and has a lethal finish. He has the ability to score the kind of goals that can completely deflate the opposition morale. Also he seems keen to impress.Samir NasriExit Alex Hleb 1.0 – Enter the new and improved Hleb 2.0. Oh I like everything about this fellow. Nasri is fast, creative, dribbles well, and looks hungry for the ball at all times. He looks every bit the product of "The Wenger factory for beautiful football" and would fit right into the Arsenal midfield. I am tipping him to light up the premiership with some out of the world performances. Nasri unlike Vela must start most games. He oozes class and style and may just be the extra something that the young Arsenal side need to lift the premiership this time. Arsenal for the title this time then?? I have to tell u, this side looks good.Brad GuzanI wish he plays more than Friedel for Villa. This guy is 23 (middle aged for the average Arsenal fan but a fledgling in the Goalkeeping world) and he is ready. Believe me, he is one of the best keepers in the world now but is severely undervalued. Give him a half decent defence and he can shut out best teams in the world. His anticipation and reflexes are extremely high for his age and he shows an excellent reading of the game. Villa have nicked a gem from the USA and I hope they can keep him. Even if he has to play deputy to Friedel this season he will be Villa's number one next season.Carlos VillanuevaHe hasn't faced defenses of Prem league standard yet nor has he played in Europe before. Villanueva has a lot of learning to do this season. He might struggle at the start of the season but as they say in cricket "form is temporary, class is permanent". He can dribble, finish and take free kicks. Put him on the other side of Morten Gamst Pedersen of 2 seasons ago and you have one of the best wide playing teams in the world. I tip him to make a big impact towards the second half of the season and Blackburn will buy him in the end. Does Paul Ince know how to use him?? I don't know- it may easily follow the lines of the story of Tevez and Mascherano at West Ham.David Ngog1.5 Million pounds?? you have to be kidding me.. Rafa has seems to have finally got one of his budget signings right. This kid is going to have limited chances. He is going to play second fiddle to Kuyt but come on.. just look at him play. He is a player on top form now and seems to instinctively know where the goal is. He has a bad scoring record for PSG but hey he played in a team that barely stayed in top flight in France last season. Somewhere Wenger must be going "He's young and he is French and he is good?? how the *!#$% did I miss him". I tip him for 8 starts and 10 subs this season but he will make his mark with those apprarances. For those sceptics who think he wont play so much – Hello!! he plays for Rafa's Liverpool!! – of course they will rotate players..JoHe has set Manchester city back by 19 Million pounds but for good reason. This guy looks like an out and out goal scorer. He doesnt seem to be the guy who dominates play but looks like the one that annoyingly finishes them. He will irritate, he will look pedestrian at times, he will miss some sitters but he will also score crucial goals and some of them will take our breath away. 15 goals this season – no less but something tells me he will score more. One more world class midfielder who can compliment Elano and Jo will make a Man City a real threat this coming season, that is, if Hughes can make it work together.Marvin EmnesFinally.. Boro boast a speedy winger. I havent seen too much of him yet but I think will see him quite a bit this season. I tip him to start on the right for most games and will flourish this season as Boro have 2 very good forwards in Tuncay and Alves. A lot of assists and a big money move to a big club at the end of the season. I cant believe he was available for 3.2 million pounds. Will Gareth Southgate use him well?? (By which I mean will he entertain more creativity and attacking verve that might finally take the burden off a creaking defence??).. well the jury is still out on that. I hope Emnes doesnt become a victim of Southgate's well know naivete.Didier DigardBig strong centre half who can also play in the middle as a holding midfielder. He will have a lot of starts and will fill in for George Boateng right away. I've put him in here cause he will have a huge influence on what happens to Boro this season. He has the potential to be the anchor that can steady the Boro ship that floated around like it was being steered by a drunken Captain Ahab. I call him a steal at 4 million. and he is gonna be the one that harpoons Southgate's Moby Dick. (Was it Tashtego that harpooned Moby?? I cant remember..)Valon BehramiOk.. he is 23.. not so young, but he will sizzle on the right side. He looks like a rock star with the confident manner and the beautiful Italian model girlfriend and dangerously looks like another possible causality of the London night scene but what the hell do I know. He did really well for the Swiss in the Euros and he has been brought in to kick out Ljungberg and do what he was supposed to do. They look like very similar players – Ljungberg (of 3 years ago) and Behrami and I reckon Behrami will do what Ljungberg was supposed to do better than him. I think West Ham have a great chance this season and look like outside challengers for the top 4 but can the Hammers keep him off the Injury table and also protect him from Craig Bellamy??Giovanni Dos SantosI gotta do this carefully, I've been accused of being partial to the Spurs in my first post but just look at this guy!! How Spurs stole him away from Barca I will never know. He has already shown what he can do last season in the Primera Liga and in the preseason games. I will do magic on the field and he will keep improving as the season goes. He is right up there on level with Berbatov, but will it be the same story again that the rest of the spurs team cant play to their level?? Dos Santos excites me, he is a star in the making. 15 goals this season.I know I've missed quite a few here but with good reason – Wilshire (wont play except in FA cup) , Walcott(not a new transfer), etc; let me know if I've missed someone. Could be an interesting discussion that one..

Fedora 21... just WOW!!
Really quick note to let you all know that Fedora 21 absolutely rocks!!... GNOME 3.14 is better than ever, slick-looking, fast and more intuitive than ever (even if there are some quirks which still need fixing, like the notification bar...). This thing is FAST. The work that Fedora next has put in place to create a common core and then build on that with specific components for each branch is great. The desktop reacts almost instantaneously to everything, and even animations feel snappy and smooth. The KDE Plasma desktop is slowly coming together and looks promising, but until it becomes a solid reality, GNOME is the king of Linux desktop managers, and Fedora the speeding track it flies upon! Download and install!!!

2012 Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Awards
Where to see this year's winners and nominees in London
Each year, the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Award picks out the funniest emerging talent at the Fringe, some of them surely to become household names of the future. 'But what of us Londonites?' we hear you cry. Don't you worry, for those that couldn't make it to Scotland, most of the nominees are bringing their shows to London.
Click these links find out when the 2012 winners and nominees are heading to our city.
Best Comedy Show
WINNER: Doctor Brown – BefrdgthRating: 4/5
Time Out's review of 'Befrdgth'
The latest show from Doctor Brown, aka American mime artist Phil Burgers, creeps up on you. There's no big opening, no voice-over introduction; in fact the show has begun before the audience even knows it.
Burgers is a silent, physical minimalist; his black-gloved hands, raised in the surrender position, are his props, helping to transform him into silly, occasionally dark characters in scenes of bullfighting, parental abandonment and unnerving sexual encounters.
The intensity builds steadily throughout, and so do the laughs, until the final act, where the true magic happens, in a celebratory finale that has the audience in hysterics. Thrillingly unpredictable and gloriously funny. (Reviewed at the Edinburgh Fringe)
See Doctor Brown in London
Claudia O'Doherty – The TelescopeRating: 4/5
Time Out's review of 'The Telescope'
This is 'difficult theatre', insists Claudia O'Doherty, 'It's not a comedy, so don't laugh'. Sorry Claudia, but I couldn't help myself during this mad, brilliantly inventive show.
Having given up comedy, she starts by introducing her piece of confronting theatre, 'The Telescope' – a tale on suicidal monks, computer hackers and time travel. Very quickly, however, she fumbles, gets out of synch with the backing video and sound effects (she doesn't trust a techy, so has pre-programmed all the cues) and begins trying to distract us from the play's bizarre events which continue around her.
O'Doherty's panicky delivery is wonderfully convincing; she tries anything from guessing punters' PINs to some dreadful butcher-themed improv to fill the rest of the hour. Delightfully offbeat and packed with laughs, upsetting theatre's never been so funny. (Reviewed at the Edinburgh Fringe)
See Claudia O'Doherty in London
James Acaster – PromptRating: 4/5
Time Out's review of 'Prompt'
It's a risky strategy, to immediately de-energise a room, as James Acaster does with his understated entrance. But quickly this whimsical comic proves we're in safe hands.
The Kettering-born comic has a knack for turning seemingly flippant remarks into slow-burning, wonderfully offbeat routines. He strides past the point where most comics would end a joke, stretching each section to ridiculous lengths, and keeping the laughs flowing throughout.
Rather than simply an hour-long compilation of stories, 'Prompt' is a beautifully structured show, with smart, unexpected callbacks and clever resurfacings of earlier material. A lot of effort has gone into this intelligent, low-key show, and it's paid off – 'Prompt' is one of the best pieces of straight stand-up at this year's festival. (Reviewed at the Edinburgh Fringe)
See James Acaster in London
Josie Long – Romance and AdventureRating: 4/5
Time Out's review of 'Romance and Adventure'
Since the 2010 general election we've seen Josie Long, via her shows, learning about politics and becoming more politically active. In 'Romance and Adventure', she's as passionate as ever about her love of social justice, but the queen of whimsy is more mature here than in her previous offerings. Yes, the Tories are the 'baddies', but Long is now happy to admit that she occasionally contradicts her beliefs.
The show's a little less powerful than last year's, but it's also less preachy and arguably funnier. Plus, I can practically guarantee that no other performer at the Fringe, or anywhere else, is imagining Ed Miliband as a mobster boss – a particularly hysterical highlight in a superbly funny show. (Reviewed at the Edinburgh Fringe)
See Josie Long in London
Pappy's – Last Show Ever!Rating: 4/5
Time Out's review of 'Pappy's Last Show Ever'
Fringe favourites Pappy's have really hit the mark with their latest offering – a tightly written, beautifully structured hour of silliness.
The show sees the trio as three elderly versions of themselves, trying to recall what happened in the Pleasance Queen Dome back in 2012 that made it their last show ever. We're treated to a bunch of brilliantly absurd songs, ridiculous characters and a narrative that skilfully hooks all the elements together.
There are moments of creative brilliance – the relationship-from-first-encounter-to-death is marvellously staged and surprisingly poignant – and although some skits aren't don't quite keep the quality as high, overall, this show is a real treat. (Reviewed at the Edinburgh Fringe)
See Pappy's in London
Tony Law – Maximum NonsenseRating: 4/5
Time Out's review of 'Maximum Nonsense'
We're assured 'Maximum Nonsense' in Mr Tony Law's latest and he sure delivers on that promise. From the get go he's straight into commenting on his own comedy and ridiculing stand-up protocol, and it's all flippin' funny.
The Canadian loon plays with stand-up stereotypes; giving both audience banter and observational comedy a Tony Law twist, and attempting to merge genres (musical shock-comedy, anyone?). There are a few lulls, but Law quickly bungees us back up to hysterical lunacy, and his finale is brilliantly silly. (Reviewed at the Edinburgh Fringe)

I got my first pup pal invite today (wagging tail) and tried to 'accept' but I kept getting errors (grrrr). Hopefully they'll fix it soon so I can start accepting new pup pals. So if anyone sends me a pup pal invite, just know that if I don't accept it's because there's a problem with my account right now. Hopefully when everyone gets back on Monday they can fix it for me. I'm getting kind of tired because I had to type them a message too to explain my account problems. It takes me forever with this keyboard. I really wish they'd make a friendlier keyboard for those of us without opposable thumbs. Then I could do this in half the time. Well, that's it for me. Time for a nap.

Wasn't the discovery of creatures on the moon by Herschel revealed to be a newspaper hoax by a NEW YORK SUN reporter named Richard Locke, in 1835.
Herschel was somewhere is South Africa at the time, and thus incommunicado, and was alleged to have seen all these flying unicorns, ape men etc. He did eventually deny the whole thing and a year later the hoax was finally revealed.
By cda, at Friday, October 12, 2012
Not according to the article, CDA.
And why would Locke do such a thing to Herschel?
That is soooo malicious....
By RRRGroup, at Friday, October 12, 2012
Two sources for this newspaper hoax:
1. "Hoaxes" by Curtis D. MacDougall, 1958 (Dover Books, p 229-231)
2. "Guide to the Moon" by Patrick Moore (first edition, 1953, p 158-160).
It remained perhaps the best scientific or journalistic hoax until the Piltdown skull expose in 1953.
By cda, at Friday, October 12, 2012
I have the Hoaxes book...will look it up.
Isn't Moore the guy who spoofed the Adamski "saucer"?
Thanks, Christopher. You are a fount of information.
By RRRGroup, at Friday, October 12, 2012
Allingham saucer, not Adamski.
Moore did once interview Adamski on TV when he toured the UK and Europe. I think it was back in 1959.
Moore also interviewed 'Allingham' four or five years earlier in a spoof radio program. However, this was cancelled by the BBC before being aired. I'd love to get a tape of that interview but assume it has long disappeared.
The Adamski interview was on a current affairs program called 'Panorama'. It was during this tour that I attended an Adamski lecture. He later met Queen Juliana of the Netherlands and impressed her, much to the disgust of her aides.
By cda, at Friday, October 12, 2012
Moore created the Allingham saucer based on the Adamski model, right?
Nothing really disappears. Someone always keeps something that's supposed to be thrown away.
The problem is searching and finding the thing supposedly thrown away.
(I just went through all the bags and boxes of books we've moved from our old office to the new office -- no, they aren't unpacked yet and it's been five months now! -- and I can't find my Hoaxes book. It's here, in a current pile,as I used it for a posting not that long ago.)
Adamski was charming, as you know so one can understand how Juliana and others were gulled by him.
And his tales, in the time frame, were affecting and seemed to be possibly true. (I believed them, at the time, and I'm a pretty smart guy, if I do say so myself)
By RRRGroup, at Friday, October 12, 2012
You ought to read Planets and Perception by William Sheehan to understand the history of the canals and other anamolies. Sheehan is a wealth of information on how early astronomers thought they saw things and the reason they misperceived such things. Sky and Telescope had an article about William Pickering's egg-shaped moons that was most illuminating.
Thanks, Tim...
I'll check it out. (I love the mars canal scenarios; they're fascinating.)
I have some Sky and Telescope mags; maybe the Pickering article is in one of them.)
By RRRGroup, at Friday, October 12, 2012
On the other side of the spectrum in terms of positivism, science and transient edicts from same, one of my favorites that it was once considered absolute lunacy by all the best minds in science that any "rocks" fell from the sky and that anyone who reported them was either drunk or belonged in a asylum. Hmm..sounds oddly familiar.
Meteorites were a bit different, in that there were plenty of specimens, either on the ground, or seen falling to earth. That they were ignored by science for so long seems strange now, but UFOs are hardly comparable as there are no hard specimens to study. And the subject is so clogged up with conspiracy theory. 200 years ago nobody ever suggested that meteorites were being kept under wraps by the authorities!
Still, there may come a time when UFOs are recognised by science, but it seems a very long way off yet. And even if they are recognised, it does not follow that it will be as ET craft.
By cda, at Saturday, October 13, 2012
Based on your comment, I had this vision of astronomers in a mad dash to pick up rocks and some victorian warehouse filled with piles of them. Lol. I think the moral of the tale is the basis of science, or at least how I was taught it, in that everything is fundamentally theoretical, and prone to revision or being thrown out the window. Theories have a habit of becoming edicts. Meteorites being one. The list of misfired science is a long one on the other side of the balance sheet, and while physical UFO's and extraterrestrials are extremely doubtful to exist, perhaps its better to say never say never in the event one will show up in the future. The same with newspapers, which seem to confuse gossip with hard news. Its not surprising that most of the public is proverbially illiterate. As Gurdjieff would say, they "believe any old tale."
|| there may come a time when UFOs are recognised by science ||
The icon of popular antiscience? ["I Want to Believe"] Hardly!
As if there might one day be some "thing." As if "unidentified" might become some identity.
The idea that real "UFOs" of some kind are the stimuli for reports has been recognised by the world since the first "airship" hoax in 1896--by the definition of "hoax" if nothing else. But over a century of repeated real-world investigations of various "UFO" scares has not produced one bit of veracious evidence for any real unknown. So the idea that there are "UFOs" of any kind is a failed hypothesis for why people make "UFO" reports and believe in the "UFO" myth. What can only be a mere idea, an abstraction, is and forever will be the "least likely" hypothesis for the "UFO" myth. To continually reassert the idea as plausible--especially conditioned with special-pleading appeals to ignorance and ad hocs--is the Popperian definition of pseudoscience.
The Null and Psychosocial hypotheses explain how every bit of data, every report, every detail in the history of the "UFO" myth can remain unchanged, there just aren't any real "UFOs" and never were. It's all nothing but a mass media-manufactured and perpetuated collective delusion.
The pseudoscience of ufoolery is history already; let's make popular belief in the irrational, antiscientific "UFO" delusion history as well.

Does anybody here suffer from Video Game Rage?
What is video game rage (VGR)? Well its when you get extremely pissed off from losing repeatedly and you take it out on the controller by throwing it on the floor. Then after you calm down you feel like a seven year old who throws a temper tantrum. I broke several controllers that way.
I'm not proud of it. I try to control it. But some times a run into the most frustrating things in a video game. For example, fighting Shao Khan in the new Mortal Kombat game. For those of you that played Mortal Kombat should understand that Shao Khan is a cheating whore. He consistently uses that ******* hammer which takes a lot of energy, he consistently uses the Kombat Rage (from MK vs. DC Universe) which makes it impossible to set up a decent Kombo and do any real damage, and your playing as Raiden (who is the most frustrating character to control). I had to put it on easy mode just to defeat the son of a bitch. Lets just say my XBOX controller makes a weird ratting noise now and the B button sticks sometimes.
So, anyone else suffer from VGR?

Runners up: MW2 and Black Ops, NHL GLITCH GOALS!, COD4 hackers, little kids on mics.
Seriously I could tell a million stories, its ****ed because outside of my xbox I am a super calm and patient person, but as soon as those turtle beaches and grab that controller... its a new person lol.
I hadn't assaulted a controller for years until about six months ago. I was trying to play Madden on All Pro and couldn't take it. After yet another turnover on downs I threw it to the ground and stomped it in half. It was on PS2 but it was less than a few months old:(
I used to do this all of the time when I was younger but I don't anymore. The 1 time I did it in the last 7 years maybe was about a year ago playing Madden and I kinda tossed the controller and broke a button. I just stared at it thinking.... Wtf... why would I do that?
2 Attachment(s)
I just shout at the TV and swear a lot. Never thrown a controller or broken anything though.
One guy I played with regularly threw his controller at the tv one game, heard the screen smash over the Mic. He then picked the tv up and through it into the wall (at least that's what it sounded like) then didn't come back online for 6 months or so.
Funniest shit ever.
I've never broken a TV. And never smashed a controller but I have made a couple a bit buggy. Like they cut off at random times. My latest trend is twisting the controller. And curse extremly loud. Haha I yell some pretty messed up stuff!!
Glad I'm not the only one that finds the controller twist very satisfying. Give that sucker hell and it still works somehow:)
Haha yeah I even do the baby shake from time to time

Hey guys, My name is joe and im new here. I go on the evolutionm.net forums alll the time. I own a 2004 Mitsubishi ralliart. Turbo'd, port polished head, cam, lsd, clutch flywheel... BLAH BLAH BLAH... car is pretty fast. I love it. Its my baby...
I feel as if i reached its limit. Theres nothing more i can bolt on, unless i rip the motor apart and build a new motor. I'm just not happy with the results. Its fast, but not 14,000 dollars worth of motor work fast.
So instead of the 2.4 liter ralliart, I turned to what any mitsu owner would do, The EVO. Now i love the way they look and feel. I mean its better look than the STI (my opinion, sorry) and i just LOVE mitsu's, its in my blood. So one day i went out and test drove a used 2004 evo, and it was, honest, not as fast as I was thinking.
Maybe its cuz im used to my turbo'd ralliart, or maybe evo's just arent they are choked up to be, but i just wasnt impressed... BUT, as everybody who knows about cars may know this fact, ANYTHING you throw at the 4g63 (evo motor) will make horsepower. and huge amounts of it. 3,000 dollars can get 245whp to 330whp. The evo motor is just amazing, and cheap. And 450whp evo's on daily pump gas is actually easy.
Now my question to you STI guys, is how does the STI's motor react to bolt on's and how is the horsepower/money ratio? what kind of bolt on's did you guys put on, and what horse power gains did it get you?
and most importantly, does the 2004 STI's have that feature where you switch the power from AWD to RWD and FWD if you want? 90% Power in the back and 10% in the front?
I'm realy tossed up between keeping my dead end FWD ralliart, the easy-going but nasty little ***** 4g63 the evo has, or should i get the STI???
thanks for the help.

I was supposed to go to homecoming with some boy and he ended up not taking me. In my dream, Everybody thought I was crazy. I did weird things in it that I would never, ever do in real life. It was scary. It involved blood and doing completely oblivious things. Like putting it on paper or something. At the end, Someone took this piece of paper and attached it to my leg and tried doing awful things and red lights and sirens started going off and I kept telling them to stop. Thats all I remember though.

CarBi project biodiversity surveys
The recently finalized report on the intensive surveys - carried out between November 2011 and June 2012 and the first of the protected area since the 1990's - show that the site supports a characteristic suite of Annamite species, but that densities of mammals have declined massively.
An important discovery for Indochina were records of the globally vulnerable Impressed tortoise (Manouria impressa). The endangered black-shanked douc was also observed for the first time in the Xe Sap National Protected Area.
A number of encounters with globally vulnerable and threatened birds were also noted, such as the black crowned barwing and chestnut-eared laughing thrush, which were previously thought to have only existed in central Vietnam. The Austen's brown hornbill was recorded as well.
Other new findings include the discovery of a large population of Pinus dalatensis (IUCN Data Deficient), which dominated the hill evergreen forest in large sections of western Xe Sap NPA. This restricted range Annamite endemic was previously only known from central and southern Vietnam and one other site in Laos.
Well below natural densities
The surveys show that densities of large carnivores like tiger, leopard golden cat, dhole and bears have declined massively since the previous surveys in the late 1990s. Encounter rates of all mammal species were relatively low and mammal densities are clearly depressed by hunting. Signs of smaller ungulates (muntjac spp., serrow, wild pig) were widespread but these species are present at well below their natural densities.
The team did discover, however, apparently suitable habitat for saola and it is likely that a small, possibly isolated, saola population persists in this area.

Hi there,
not really book related, but how many people here work in science? If you do, do you tend to read books on subjects close to your specialism or on completely different subjects? If you're a civillian, do you largely read books in the same area?
Personally I don't read anything that closely related to the area I work in (molecular simulation/chemical physics), apart from ones I read for work (very specialise, not light bedtime reading). Instead I tend to read stuff in slightly tangential areas like chaos/complexity theory.
Anyone else?
I don't have much formal education in and certainly don't work in a science field. I read a little bit in many areas, though I suppose I'm mostly drawn to physics.
I'm a chemist working in biological Mass Spectrometry at the moment. I certainly wouldn't read any mass spec books, and don't own any. I do read odd bits of chemistry and am broadly interested in the whole why the world is the way it is, so I have a few generalised books in areas that aren't "my field".
I am in IT, but have an academic background in philosophy, psychology, logic and computation. My reading habits are omnivorous, lately leaning most heavily toward biographies of scientists and mathematicians, biology (evolution, parasitism, evo-devo), mathematics (recreational, statistics), psychology (social, cognitive) and economics (behavioral economics, public choice).
I'm a biologist, and the non-fiction books I read for fun (which are pretty few and far between, in truth) are mainly evolution and natural history, which are not exactly my specialty but not far from it, either.
I'm a civilian :), but I've always loved science. I like almost anything except computer manuals. I especially love cosmology, nature, and biographies.
I am a microbiologist and I do read the occasional microbiology book for pleasure, but most of my non-fiction reading is history or the other sciences; particularly astronomy.
I am now a librarian, but my background is in geology and I taught intro-geology to college students for 4 years.
I read a lot about the history of science and the history of geology in particular. I think I read more science now that I'm not actively involved in it.
Im an ecology grad student, and I do read a bunch of general ecology/environment books, but also a bunch of history and other for fun.
I am a microbiolologist technician in a National Institute of Health research lab.
The stuff I read relating to the research I do, are generally scientific papers and stay at work, although I do have a few books that were written as 'popular works' that I have read and enjoyed.
I enjoy reading about science outside my field. Always happy to get more reading recommendations!
I spent most of my working life in IT and I wrote computer manuals! but now as far as science goes, I am most interested in cosmology and quantum physics - the kind of physics we didn't study in college in the 40's. I am interested in Philosophy of Science as in the arrow of time. Black holes. cosmology, the uncertainty principle, dark matter, the future of the universe, quarks and antiquarks and all such stuff, especially string theory are subjects I attempt to understand as well as a layman can. the necessary math is way beyond me, but i audited a course at Columbia on the Direction of Time in 1998 and it was fascinating. I couldn't finish the course due to a broken ankle, a new romance and a wedding but what i did learn was fascinating if incomprhensible.
I'm a biostatistician working in psychiatric research and neuroradiology. Most of my recreational science reading is in math and cognitive science - peripherally related to my specialty on both counts. I'd definitely be willing to read good popular works in statistics, if I knew of any! The only really great ones that spring to mind are Edward Tufte's books.
There's Darrell Huff's How to lie with statistics which is/was quite famous though a bit dated now. However this probably a bit more popularist than you'd find helpful for scientific research. Its great fro looking at newspaper figures and promotional campaigns though.
I can't resist making some recommendations for you:
*The Emergence of Probability: A Philosophical Study of Early Ideas About Probability, Induction and Statistical Inference, Ian Hacking: Probability from the Renaissance to David Hume.
*The Taming of Chance, Ian Hacking: Probability from the 1800's to Peirce.
*Philosophical Theories of Probability (Philosophical Issues in Science), Donald Gillies: Contemporary philosophical theories of probability, including frequentism, subjective Bayesianism, objective confirmation theory, and propensity theory.
*The Lady Tasting Tea: How Statistics Revolutionized Science in the Twentieth Century, David Salsburg: "Men of Mathematics" for statisticians.
*Error and the growth of experimental knowledge, Deborah Mayo A philosophical justification of the Neyman/Pearson error-statistical philosophy.
*Scientific Reasoning: The Bayesian Approach, Colin Howson & Peter Urbach: One long argument for the Bayesian approach to scientific inference.
*Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk, Peter L. Bernstein: Risk management ideas and techniques through history.
*Fortune's Formula: The Untold Story of the Scientific Betting System That Beat the Casinos and Wall Street, William Poundstone: The story of gangsters, scientists, financiers and the mathematics of betting methods, centering on Kelly's criterion for maximizing the long-term growth rate of repeated plays in a gambling/investing "game".
*Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game, Michael Lewis: Well written account of the use of statistics by the Oakland A's to mitigate their team's limited resources.
*Statistics Hacks: Tips & Tools for Measuring the World and Beating the Odds, Bruce Frey: Fun survey of statistical ideas and methods.
I hope that you find a few enjoyable books in this list.
Thanks, johnnylogic - great list! I know / have read a few of these, but some are new and I'll definitely check them out.
And thanks for the Huff recommendation, reading_fox. I agree that How to Lie with Statistics is a bit dated, but it's still an enjoyable quick read.

I am a chemist by training, but I am currently working in physics. Although I love chemistry like no other science, I mostly read about physics and evolution. The only time I end up reading chemistry-related books is when there is an overlap with physics (quantum mechanics for example).
I am a geology undergrad, and most of my reading is either science or history related.
I live in small, sad world...
johnascott: I used to always see those books by Tufte advertised in the NY Times Book Review and they looked fascinating ... how technical are they? Can you recommend them for a layman who loves science/statistics but hates actual math? (For example, I can understand the concept of something like "standard deviations" but have 0 interest in what goes into calculating them.)
KT, I can unequivocally recommend Tufte's books to anyone with an interest in science, statistics, communication, or just about anything else. In addition to being fascinating, each book is truly a work of art from a graphic design perspective. They are not at all technical. There is some use of basic statistical ideas and terminology (standard deviations, regression lines), but no formulas - don't worry. I'd recommend starting with The Visual Display of Quantitative Information. Happy reading!
Thanks, Johnascott!
johnascott (#19) Agree with that. I 've also got his other book Envisioning Information and both are beautifully produced as well as being informative. I think a user needs to be a little more creative than I am to get the most benefit.
I seem to be a little different to most members of this group in that I enjoy reading the books that are necessary for me to do my job. I am an industrial electronics engineer working with machine vision systems, a subject that I find fascinating.
I have read science books for as long as I can remember because I want to learn as much as possible about how the world works in the short time we have to live.
It is one of the tragedies of being mortal that I will die before the greatest mysteries are solved.
I am in total agreement. I am trained and work as a biologist, and biology and related sciences are >75% of the books I own and read. I am fortunate that I work within several realms of biology, chemistry and physics (I work as a plant biologist), and I try to read and learn about everything that comes up in my occupation that I find interesting.
I believe if I found myself reading more books/journals about topics that are not related to my occupation, excepting fiction, I would seriously consider changing careers.
#22 & 23
After reading your posts I realized my previous answer was misleading. The majority of non-fiction that I read is in my field (environmental microbiology), but it is almost all journal articles. I rarely read books from my field because such books are fairly rare and I usually don't get much from them that I didn't already know.
Biochemist/molecular biologist here, employed in biophysics. Most of my "free" reading isn't science-related, but when it is, I tend to choose expert texts--how could one resist a huge university library at one's disposal (privately collecting these books would take a fortune several orders of magnitude vaster than mine)?
What a few others mentioned--once you become terminally specialised, it is difficult if not impossible to come across a tome pertaining to the field that would be a pleasure to leaf in bed.
My two current science-related reading trends: I've started going over textbooks of late (not in bed though) because I'm getting melancholy over all the stuff I've forgotten; and, I'm indulging again an old interest in history of science--especially classic texts, primary publications etc.
(I don't work in science ...)
I can get monomaniacal about a subject, but I don't like mixing work subjects with freetime reading. A few people have been able to dive into a subject and spend all their time on it, e.g. Paul Erdos.
I am a neuroscientist and most books that I read are fiction. The majority of non-fiction books that I own are not related to my work. Books I read that are about neurobiology are usually not about the narrow field I am working in. The information I need for my work I get from journal articles.
I'm a grad student in Public Health and my (first) undergrad degree was in Microbiology.
And I mostly read fluff. That is, in addition to school books and journal articles and whatnot, the stuff I choose to read for recreation is generally the written equivalent of cotton candy. Though lately I have gotten into some history of medicine related work, and there are definitely some classics that I love.
However, if I have the luxury of an afternoon to myself where I just get to read, frankly I tend to pick something that requires no intellectual work. Gotta save up those brainwaves, you know? ;)
I work in medical informatics, but my training is in mathematics and chemistry. I read mostly fiction, a fair amount of history, but often and always I need to read some science. It isn't always the hard sciences, I like botany other natural history subjects, as well. Lately I have begun to read popular medicine, including Gawande and lots of journal articles on epidemiology.
Toxicologist with primary interests in reproductive and developmental toxicology. I read fiction and non-fiction in approximately equal measure. For science-related books I particularly enjoy natural history, medicine, studies of the impacts of disease on history and societies, and almost anything to do with animals and animal behavior. I also read to keep up with developments in my field, like many here mostly journal articles--but that I consider work.
Physicist with a specialty in high energy neutron detection now working as a system engineer putting together spacecraft. So I've drifted from where I started, but in a related area. I still keep up with some areas in physics, but the longer I stay away, the harder it is to keep up.
hi bfertig!!!!
I am a lover of nature!!! As you are student of ecology, I recommend you to check mi blog (I made it with some mexican friends)
Although for the last ten years, I would best be described as a person with no discipline (pun intended), an administrator, i.e. someone who goes to meetings and answers email, all of my degrees are in pure mathematics. I was on the faculty of a department of mathematics for 13 years. However, both as an undergraduate and a graduate student, I had a tremendous interest in the history, philosophy, and politics of science. Those are the areas in which I do most of my non-fiction reading, focusing on twentieth century physics and the evolution vs. whatever debates. Currently, I am working my way through the myriad Oppenheimer biographies.
I received my degree in English/Psychology. It was during my psychology track that I discovered the works of Michael Shermer. Shermer's books have let me to Dawkins, Feyman, Greene, and others. Though I have absolutely no science background, I find I have a growing interest in evolutionary biology, physics, cosmology, paleontology, and anthropology. I think that reading about science makes us more aware of our amazing universe, and greater awareness is always a positive thing.
I was actually an English major, but somehow I ended up in a job where I do a lot of science writing -- I'm a writer for a science & research university. So while I don't DO a lot of science, I am kind of immersed in it.
Most of the science I read though is popular biology, evolution, etc. I usually don't come across that kind of stuff day to day...
I'm an industrial hygienist. No, that's got nothing to do with cleaning toilets in factories. It deals with anticipating, recognizing, evaluating and controlling workplace health hazards.
I have a science degree (natural resources and biology), but I'm working as a web mistress for an enviro group, and there's nothing scientific about my work. Most of the science reading I do is evolutionary biology.
I love science and science fiction. The two have been the main driving forces in my life. When people asked me what I wanted to do when I grew up I would tell them, "I either want to be studying something scientifically or writing about is science fictionally." I know it is not perfect English, but it describes me perfectly. I had worked in High Tech for over 20 years but because of massive cuts in the Massachusetts technology field I was "down sized." I have a degree in General Studies and another one in Computer Science. I also have a certificate in Webpage Design and another one in Wastewater Technology. Today I own a small publishing company called Pear Tree Publishing. I have not yet published a science book but I am hoping…
I'm a graduate student, getting my PhD in developmental biology (soon, hopefully!) While I do read a lot (a lot a lot) of science, its mostly journal articles related to my thesis project. Book-wise, I prefer to read fiction, but when I read science books, they tend to be physics or evolutionary biology. You know, science I don't actually do!
I'm an engineering undergrad student, and not much I read really reflects that. Most of the stuff I read deals with anthropology, politics, and history. I kind of feel that the natural sciences are something you need to learn in a school setting (unless you're some kind of child genius), whereas many of the social sciences are less rigorous, and a lot of the knowledge may be gained from reading on your own time.
I hope I don't step on anyone's toes with that...really, I'm not trying to insult anyone's field of interest. That's just my opinion.
I don't have my full library up, yet. I just add a few books every few days, so I'll eventually get there.
I started my career as an anthropologist doing research in bioarchaeology, then went on to NIH-funded research. I made the "mistake" a few years back of writing a grant to build a collaborative research network for our institution and now find myself overseeing the management of it with a staff of six. I now do work as a software architect and develop programs in bioinformatics. It has been an interesting journey.
I have a Master's in Radiological Physics, but worked as a cellphone engineer for most of my career. I love to read clearly-written works in almost any field of science/engineering:
Math: Journey through Genius
Biology: Social Evolution by Robt. Trivers
Geography: Guns, Germs, and Steel
Physics: The Feynman Lectures
Physics professor with interests in Soft Condensed Matter, Nanophysics and Biophysics.
"Soft Condensed Matter"? Jell-O? :)
i am a medical student. about to start a residency. i did a b.s. psych and zoo undergrad. M.P.H. international epi. and one test away from M.D. i want to read/do something non medically related. turned to knitting recently.
European history major with an emphasis on interactions among the emrgent social sciences and evolutionary theory in the late 19th century, especially in England (Darwin, Thomas Huxley, Julian Huxley New Wine for Old Bottles, Aldous Huxley, the social darwinists, Nietzsche). Minored in biology with an empasis on vertebrate evolution & New England terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Later did master's work in natural resources policy, economics & management. In between I did staff work at MIT in computer systems management and in community health at a medical school. I am not sure where this leaves me profiled as a science reader, except that (to the extent I can avoid the reptition of information) I tend to evenly divide environmental science reading time between "professional/practitioner" specialty works (i.e. Island Press, academic presses) and more literary generalist attempts to convey the magic and imminent relevance of environmental sciences (think John McPhee).
#44 Well, yeah, that would qualify. Good idea, it would make for an edible research subject ;D.
Actually, in my case, more liquids in nanosized spaces. But soft condensed matter typically includes polymers, liquid crystals, colloids etc. These things can have some really interesting, crazy types of behaviors (think corn starch +water for an every day example) and generate new physical/theoretical ideas. Also, these things have applications to biology (lots of soft matter there), so there is quite a bit of interest.
these things have applications to biology (lots of soft matter there), so there is quite a bit of interest.
Absolutely! I pushed a student to absorb quite a bit more gel and colloidal chemistry than he liked when we were designing our ultrasound phantoms (to mimic various tissues).
I'm a geologist, I normally stick with what I know which is geology and water related stuff.
I do like to branch out and read the occasional Biology book on evolution or natural history (I guess when you think about it, that's not really branching out)
I am a researcher in relativistic astrophysics, but I read almost everything, with some preference to philosophy, history and cifrematica (derived from the merging of linguistics and psychoanalysis). I read also adventure and science fiction novels.

The New Yorker has published a long interview with President Obama, and one of the topics he addresses that are near and dear to Californian hearts: marijuana. Here's what Obama told New Yorker Editor David Remnick:
"As has been well documented, I smoked pot as a kid, and I view it as a bad habit and a vice, not very different from the cigarettes that I smoked as a young person up through a big chunk of my adult life. I don't think it is more dangerous than alcohol."
Is it less dangerous? I asked.
Obama leaned back and let a moment go by. That's one of his moves. When he is interviewed, particularly for print, he has the habit of slowing himself down, and the result is a spool of cautious lucidity. He speaks in paragraphs and with moments of revision. Sometimes he will stop in the middle of a sentence and say, "Scratch that," or, "I think the grammar was all screwed up in that sentence, so let me start again."
Less dangerous, he said, "in terms of its impact on the individual consumer. It's not something I encourage, and I've told my daughters I think it's a bad idea, a waste of time, not very healthy." What clearly does trouble him is the radically disproportionate arrests and incarcerations for marijuana among minorities. "Middle-class kids don't get locked up for smoking pot, and poor kids do," he said. "And African-American kids and Latino kids are more likely to be poor and less likely to have the resources and the support to avoid unduly harsh penalties." But, he said, "we should not be locking up kids or individual users for long stretches of jail time when some of the folks who are writing those laws have probably done the same thing." Accordingly, he said of the legalization of marijuana in Colorado and Washington that "it's important for it to go forward because it's important for society not to have a situation in which a large portion of people have at one time or another broken the law and only a select few get punished."
As is his habit, he nimbly argued the other side. "Having said all that, those who argue that legalizing marijuana is a panacea and it solves all these social problems I think are probably overstating the case. There is a lot of hair on that policy. And the experiment that's going to be taking place in Colorado and Washington is going to be, I think, a challenge." He noted the slippery-slope arguments that might arise. "I also think that, when it comes to harder drugs, the harm done to the user is profound and the social costs are profound. And you do start getting into some difficult line-drawing issues. If marijuana is fully legalized and at some point folks say, Well, we can come up with a negotiated dose of cocaine that we can show is not any more harmful than vodka, are we open to that? If somebody says, We've got a finely calibrated dose of meth, it isn't going to kill you or rot your teeth, are we O.K. with that?" Full interview
In California, the president's statements come as four pot legalization proposals vie for a spot on the November ballot, and where last month's Field Poll shows 55 percent of Californians favor legalization.
Mark DiCamillo heads the Field Poll, and he spoke with KQED's Mina Kim about the president's statements.
The state narrowly was rejected a measure to legalize marijuana in 2010, 53 to 47 percent. But is California ready to legalized pot now?
"I think there seems to be greater momentum for legalization across the country than there was even three years ago when Californian's last voted on marijuana legalization," DiCamillo said. "So with greater support now in our poll and with greater support evidenced in states around the country and from the president, there probably is a greater success here in California."

If you want information on the fine points of using NIntegrate, NDSolve,
NSum, NProduct ... you should look them up in the Help Browser. Under
"Further Examples" you will find lots of good information. You might also
read the files at:
These tutorials are quite old but still relevant. However, they are
postscript files. If you need a program that can read them see
Besides that many of the books about Mathematica cover numerical computing
quite a bit. You should go to a well stocked book store and take a look at
some of them.
In particular Mathematica In Action, by Stan Wagon covers a lot on how to
ensure the results from NDSolve are accurate, and how sensitive the solution
is to initial conditions.
While the Extra Examples in the Help Browser are very helpful we still need
more information on functions like NIntegrate, NDSolve. I mean the method
option in NIntegrate can be GaussKronrod, DoubleExponential, Trapezoidal,
Oscillatory, MultiDimentional, MonteCarlo, or QuassiMonteCarlo. Under what
conditions do each of these methods work well? How efficient are they when
they work well? Under what conditions should they not be used? The default
method is GaussKronrod, and the only books I found that make any mention of
GaussKronrod devote all of two paragraphs to the subject!

Tauri's Tips for Transitioning to Natural Hair
Some of Law-Phillips' favorite look and Tigi Products Include:
- Stay away from heat! "If you must, protect your hair." Tauri admits that in the weeks before she did her big chop, she broke down and let a hair stylist hot comb her hair for a friend's wedding. "Big mistake! When I cut my hair, I had damage and ended up a bit shorter than I had hoped."
- Find fun natural styles. "I transitioned for nine months with mostly braids. When I needed a more polished look, I did a roller set or Bantu knot-outs."
- Involve everyone! "It was such a fun journey to learn about my hair. I dragged my co-workers, friends and family along with me. My blonde German fiancée learned so much. He saw me put braids in and helped me take them out," says Laws-Phillips. One big advantage of involving people is that she rarely received mean spirited comments. "In fact a co-worker and fellow natural did my big chop, and I never felt so loved as the day I debuted my two inches of curls to the 'oohs' and 'ahhs' of fellow co-workers. When presented with the story of an adult taking the journey into self-acceptance and awareness, I find everyone embraces you."
- Do research. Look at different styles. What works for others may not work for you.
- Be gentle. Kinky hair can be fragile. "I have stopped over-detangling. One time in the shower is plenty!"
- Experiment with products. Find out what your hair likes. "Olive oil is too heavy for me, but I adore jojoba oil," says Laws-Phillips.
- Water is your friend. "My hair is happiest when I co-wash one to two times per week and wash/condition and deep condition it weekly."
Some of Laws-Phillips' favorite look and Tigi products include:
- For a super defined curly 'fro, she mixes Catwalk Curlesque Curls Rock Amplifier with Catwalk Curlesque Defining Serum She shingles the Curls Rock Amplifier through her hair and then when it's 75% dry, she goes over the ends with the serum, which she emulsifies between her hands.
- For an everyday wash and go look, she applies Sleek Mystique Fast Fixx Style Prep in the shower and then sections her hair and applies a "gumball-sized amount" ofCatwalk Session Series Wet Look Gel. "Then I shake, shake, shake and put a t-shirt on my head to catch the drips while get ready. I can't tell you the joyous squeal I let out when I figured out that I didn't have to shingle to get definition, and I'm done in about three minutes."
- For her "best twist and curl to date," she uses Catwalk Sleek Mystique Blow Out Balm to protect her hair and shorten the blow-dry time. "I do a modified chasing method using my Denman brush and blowing my hair lightly until it's 80 percent dry to stretch it." Then she uses S-Factor Spun Satin to define the twists.

Football Contest
Chatfield Gophers head to state
By Bill Bentson
Wednesday, November 06, 2013 10:10 AM
The Gophers' seniors celebrate. They are, in front from left, Alex Haffner, Dalton Schwier, AJ Riley and Jake Neis. In back are Cody Bly, Jayme LaPlante, Michael Mabe, Nate Skare, Sawyer Prinsen and Brandon Adler
It started Friday night when the Chatfield football team pulled off a 'mild' upset, defeating Caledonia, 13-10, in overtime, advancing the Gophers to the 'big dance', state tournament, and a date with the Jackson County Central Huskies Friday night at the Regional Sports Center, on the campus of RCTC. Chatfield had lost to Caledonia, 19-18, in the first game of the season, so this game was expected to be close from the opening kickoff. The game 'shadowed' predicted 'billing'.
Saturday, Christian Bance finished 17th in the Class A Cross Country Meet, qualifying him for All-state honors in cross-country. The top 25 places at the state meet receive all-state status.
And also on Saturday, the Chatfield volleyball team nearly defeated Kasson-Mantorville in the Section 1AA championship match, losing to the KoMets three games to one, and missing the State Tournament by 'that much'.
Streaks End
Three streaks ended last Friday night with the Chatfield win over Caledonia, in the Class AA football finals...1) the 36 game winning streak for Caledonia is now over. The consecutive win streak started back in 2011, after Caledonia had lost to Plainview-Elgin-Millville in the season opener...2) The Gophers ended a 10-game losing streak to the Warriors, which started back in 2007. The last win over Caledonia was 12-7 during the regular season in 2006...and, 3) The six-year 'run' to the state tournament for the Warriors has ended, thanks to the Gopher overtime win. In Caledonia's six straight trips to the state, they won five state championships.
Chatfield will now play Jackson County Central Friday night, 7:00 p.m., on the campus of RCTC.
The Gophers took the opening kickoff and drove 47 yards in 12 plays, before turning the ball over to Caledonia on a fumble. The Warriors took full advantage of the Chatfield turnover, scoring on their first play on an 80-yard 'aerial strike'. AJ Riley was the Chatfield defender on the long Caledonia pass, and the only reason I mention AJ specifically, is because he will get his vindication on the last play of the game. Also, in defense of the Gopher defender, the Caledonia quarterback threw a 'perfect pass', hitting the receiver 'in stride'.
After an exchange of a few punts, Chatfield got on the board and tied the score at 7-7 when Jake Neis ran 40 yards for a score. Sawyer Prinsen kicked the extra-point for the tie. Chatfield had the last drive of the first half, going 68 yards before missing on a 33-yard field goal. The score was deadlocked 7-7 at the intermission.
All of the scoring in the second half, three points for Caledonia, six for Chatfield, was the result of field goals.
The Warriors took the lead with a 26-yard field goal at the 2:49 mark of the third quarter. Chatfield 'returned the favor' with a 36 yarder of its own (Nate Skare) on their next possession, tying the score at 10-10, one play into the fourth quarter.
Caledonia missed two field goals in the fourth quarter, keeping the score at 10-10 when the buzzer ended regulation play.
Chatfield had the ball first in the overtime. On fourth down, Nate Skare 'booted' a 27-yard field goal, giving the Gophers a 13-10 lead. Caledonia tried a pass on its first possession of the overtime...enter AJ Riley. Riley stepped in front of the intended Caledonia receiver, intercepting the pass, ending the Chatfield drought, and giving the Gopher's a berth in the state tournament, their first since 1999.
Chatfield head coach Jeff Johnson summed up the contest like this..."It was like two heavyweight boxers exchanging punches all night. Each team has great players that took turns making great plays. Proud of our kids resiliency", he concluded.
Neis ended up with 129 rushing yards on 26 carries in the game, including the 40-yard 'scamper' in the second quarter. Alex Bradt carried eight times for 35 yards and Nate Skare ended the night with 21 rushing yards on five carries. Alex Haffner (-4 yds.) and Jayme LaPlante (8 yds.) had one carry each in the overtime win.
In the passing department, Nate Skare was 5/11, 93 yards, including a longest throw of 44 yards to Drew Hurley. Hurley had two other receptions, for a total of 83 yards. LaPlante and Neis had one catch each for six and four yards, respectively.

Hunger In Afghanistan On The Rise
Why are children in Afghanistan starving?
Doctors there say it's the worst case of acute malnutrition they've seen in the country since 2001.
Doctors are baffled because while more and more emaciated infants are being brought into overworked hospitals — like one in the capital of Helmand province, which is admitting 200 children a month — their parents aren't starving.
According to United Nation figures, severe malnutrition has increased by 50 percent or more over 2012.
Dr. Gabriela Das, medical coordinator for the organization Doctors without Borders joins Here & Now's Robin Young it is hard for her organization to leave the hospital and make more direct assessments because of the security situation in Afghanistan.
"At least in our assessment, the most important fact is the issue around breast feeding, the fact that the women have a lot of children," Das said.
Das says there is a larger issue of women's education at play in the crisis.
"When they are in the hospital we try to work to improve the interaction between mother and children, and try to work with the women to start breast feeding," she said. "In the end it boils down to education and improving the perspective of the mothers themselves."

SAMSUNG is suing Apple to stop sales of the iPhone 4S in Australia, just days after the device went on sale around the world.
It filed a suit seeking a ban on sales of the iPhone 4S in the Federal Court's NSW Registry yesterday and separately lodged an appeal against last week's decision by the court to temporarily ban sales of its Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia.
Suits against the iPhone 4S had already been launched in Italy and France but yesterday Samsung filed preliminary injunction motions in Tokyo and Australia. A similar case in the Netherlands was dismissed on Friday.
It is unclear why Samsung did not file its suit before the device went on sale. Telstra alone has sold tens of thousands of iPhone 4S units in the opening three days - ''our highest-selling iPhone launch to date'', said the director of devices at Telstra, Andrew Volard.
A senior patent lawyer, Mark Summerfield from Watermark in Melbourne, said he believed the delay in filing the suit would make it much harder for Samsung to make a case, adding he believed any resolution would most likely concern the payment of royalties.
Both companies are spending millions in legal fees to fight more than 20 patent infringement cases in 10 countries.
An independent intellectual property expert, Florian Mueller, said he did not believe Samsung would be successful in its bid to block the iPhone 4S as the patents it was relying on were ''essential to the 3G telecommunications standard''.
Samsung recently surpassed Apple in global smartphone sales for the third quarter.
''Samsung's preliminary injunction request in Australia cites three patent infringements related to wireless telecommunications standards, specifically Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) and HSPA,'' Samsung said in a statement.
''In light of these violations, Samsung believes the sale of such Apple devices should be injuncted. Apple has continued to violate our patent rights and free ride on our technology.''
Yesterday it was revealed that despite the injunction on the Galaxy Tab 10.1, many Australians were still ordering the device from online stores.
An intellectual property law lecturer at the Queensland University of Technology, Peter Black, questioned whether the patent system in Australia was promoting innovation or whether the patent system and endless lawsuits were '' stifling competition and innovation, with the customer being the ultimate loser''.

KNOXVILLE -- Twice last season, Tennessee celebrated in vain. First at LSU, then in the Music City Bowl against North Carolina, joy turned into gut-punch losses.
On Saturday night in Neyland Stadium, Tennessee celebrated in the south end zone, only to have it interrupted for an official review.
But only interrupted.
Officials eventually ruled that the Vols' game-winning interception return was good for a touchdown, giving Tennessee a 27-21 victory over Vanderbilt and moving it one step closer to clinching a bowl berth.
"The black cloud over Knoxville blew away tonight, and we got a little sunshine," UT coach Derek Dooley said.
But for a minute, it looked like the Vols might get caught in another downpour.
During the first possession of overtime, UT defensive back Eric Gordon intercepted Jordan Rodgers' pass, stumbled and continued 90 yards down the far sideline for a touchdown.
Officials initially said Gordon fumbled the ball and recovered it with his knee on the ground. In a flash, Tennessee's players ended their celebration in the southwest corner of the stadium and started clamoring for Dooley to challenge the call.
Following the game, Dooley pointed out that rules prohibit a coach from challenging whether or not a runner was down. But because officials didn't stop the play, it was eligible for an official review.
Moments later, the Vols were celebrating again. In the press box, offensive coordinator Jim Chaney skipped to the elevator in a rush to join the Vols in the locker room.
"We finally got a break!" Chaney yelled.
Tennessee got more than one -- and made a few more along the way.
After jumping out to a 14-7 lead at halftime in Tyler Bray's return to the field after missing five games with a broken thumb, the Vols' second-half woes appeared to set in again.
On the Vols' second possession of a scoreless third quarter, Vandy linebacker Archibald Barnes intercepted Bray in the end zone and returned it 100 yards to tie the game at 14-14.
Then, after pinning the Vols deep in their own territory, Vanderbilt took a 21-14 when Rodgers found Chris Boyd for a 20-yard touchdown pass with 12:21 remaining.
Tennessee, now 5-6 and 1-6 in SEC play, answered right back, with a heavy dose of the run -- and the kind of good fortune that hasn't exactly been a regular occurrence this season.
After UT's drive, which began at its 20-yard line, stalled at the Vandy 5, Michael Palardy came on for a 23-yard field goal attempt. The kick appeared to be blocked, but Vandy's Sean Richardson was flagged for running into the kicker.
Vandy coach James Franklin challenged the call, asserting that Richardson had in fact touched the ball.
Officials upheld their initial ruling on the field, even if Dooley offered a different assessment after the game.
"It wasn't a block. It was a kick up the center's tail," he said. "We got a break there. I couldn't put the field goal team out there again after that. I just wanted to go for it."
So on fourth down, Da'Rick Rogers hauled in a pass from Bray with one hand to tie the game at 21-21 with 6:27 left in regulation.
"At that point, I was just thinking this is the first blocked kick I've ever been excited for," said Rogers, whose 116-yard performance against the Commodores pushed him over the 1,000-yard mark for the season. "Thank God (Dooley) put the offense back on the field."
Tennessee's defense stole the show the rest of the way.
After the teams traded punts, Vanderbilt took over with 2:02 left and promptly moved to the UT 40 with a little less than a minute remaining. On second down, Prentiss Waggner intercepted Rodgers and ended any chance of a Vanderbilt win in regulation.
Moments later -- a couple of them agonizingly long -- the Vols were celebrating Gordon's dramatic dash to the end zone and the first defensive touchdown in overtime since Ohio defeated Pitt on an interception return TD in 2005.
And a team that has struggled in the second half of SEC games all season finally had a performance to remember in the last 30 minutes.
"This is the first game it's been a one-score game in the fourth quarter," Dooley said. "I was worried how we would handle it. We handled it beautifully. We kept fighting and won the fourth quarter."
It wasn't always pretty, though.
Tennessee struggled at times on punts, and Palardy's low field goal attempt wasn't one for the highlight reel. Fighting through pain in his right thumb, Bray was just 16-for-33 for 189 yards with two interceptions and two touchdowns.
"It was horrible," Bray said of his performance. "I think I completed more passes to the other team than I did to ours."
But several of the Vols' 16 seniors made a huge impact in their final game at Neyland Stadium.
Tauren Poole, along with a more physical performance from the offensive line, helped awaken the Vols' foundering ground game with 107 rushing yards and a touchdown. Defensive tackle Malik Jackson forced a fumble that led to Tennessee's first touchdown of the game, and linebacker Austin Johnson picked off his team-best fourth pass in five games.
The result was a victory over Vanderbilt (5-6, 2-6 SEC), which many favored to win, and a continued chance to become bowl eligible with a win at Kentucky on Saturday (TV: SEC Network, 12:21 p.m. ET).
"I tell you, I don't know if I've ever been prouder of a football team in all my years," Dooley said. "It was just a great win."
