I know it's been a WHILLLEEEEE since I've updated this page, but let's be honest here, other than some grandstanding by both sides, there's been very little to talk about. Nothing's been accomplished and we are just a small step away from losing yet another hockey season, one in which the Rangers finally had a legitimate chance to win a cup. Not just as a contender, but as a favorite.
Anyways, I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving. I'll be out of town for the next week so I don't be able to write here. Maybe we can get a special surprise and an agreement can be made soon.
I'm not holding my breath though.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/12/2012 (1708 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The woman who cared for Phoenix Sinclair and was called "nana mom" by the child killed in care testified she looked after Phoenix from the time she was returned to her parents after being apprehended at birth.
Kim Edwards testified this morning at the inquiry into her death that weekend visits started from when Phoenix was three months old and soon turned into week-long stays when Samantha Kematch became pregnant with Phoenix's baby sister, Echo.
Edwards said Phoenix's father, Steve Sinclair, told her Kematch was "hormonal" and that's why she was pushing baby Phoenix away.
By the time baby Echo was born, Edwards said Phoenix had become a part of her family and spent most of her time at her home with her husband Rohan Stephenson and their children. Edwards said she'd known Sinclair since before he was in a relationship with Kematch.
Edwards said she met Sinclair at a gas station after her Bible study meeting and struck up a conversation. They became friends, sharing a love of music. After Phoenix was born, they shared of a love of her. She described Phoenix as "awesome" and Sinclair's role as a father as "awesome."
Edwards said after Kematch left Sinclair with the kids and baby Echo died in July 2001 from a respiratory infection, Sinclair was in "despair." She said "outside influences" were encouraging Sinclair to drown his sorrows. Edwards said he never left Phoenix with her so he could go drinking but because he liked the family atmosphere of her home.
"He said, 'I like what you got here'.... My family was great."
When Edwards and her husband Stephenson separated, he moved out, she testified, contradicting her ex-husband who testified last week. Stephenson said the couple split up for good at Christmas time in 2002 and Edwards moved out. Edwards said it was Stephenson who moved out and returned for visits when they tried to reconcile several times. She said she didn't move out of their Selkirk Avenue home until the end of 2003.
Edwards denied ever meeting the Child and Family Services place of safety worker Mario Rojas who was trying to have their home formally designated as a foster home for Phoenix. He testified earlier about their meeting and documented a conversation he had with her in an email to Stan Williams, the social worker assigned to Phoenix's case.
At times, Edwards contradicted herself. She said she wasn't there when Kematch picked up Phoenix before her fourth birthday in April 2004 from the home on Selkirk Avenue and never brought her back. In later testimony, she said she was there and could recall details of the occasion.
Edwards' testimony continues this afternoon.

Gummworld2 - 0.1.0
Gummworld2 is a light pygame framework for a scrolling game, where the map is larger than the display. It emphasizes simplicity, freedom, and performance.
Version 1.0.0 is released. It has all the features I presently need. Junk has been removed and fat trimmed over the past few releases. It has been tried and refined in several Pyweeks, and the API seems to have settled.
HUD has been slightly revamped. It uses the wonderfully precise str.format now instead of str % best_guess.
The SuperMap API has had some changes, the internals are improved. See the Mercurial change log. This feature has not been tried in a game yet. It has only seen demos. (Waiting on my wish list feature: a Tiled map loader that spreads the load out over multiple game cycles. DR0ID *poke* :)) SuperMap is the feature that enables arbitrarily huge realms with on-demand loading and unloading.
The biggest volume of changes in 1.0.0 are to bring the code into PEP 8 compliance.
::: About :::
Gummworld2 is a light pygame framework for a scrolling game, where the map is larger than the display. It emphasizes simplicity, freedom, and performance. You add the display elements and game logic, the engine provides the framework for timing, events, updates, and rendering.
Tiled helpers are included for elaborate mapping. However, Tiled is not required.
Source and documentation, plenty of uncomplicated examples included at Bitbucket. Also, some moderately complex demos are there, and the wiki cites completed games.
Compatible with Python 2.7 and 3.
The fast renderer BasicMapRenderer matured in v0.5.0. The Mana World's map01 blazes. It is a five layer map with many SRCALPHA tiles. See examples/07_tiled_tmw_renderer_complete.py.
The old screenshot below is from an early version on an older Intel, getting 332 FPS in an 800x600 window while scrolling. It is a one-layer 2048x2048-pixel map, using the old method of collapsing nearly 500 on-screen sprites down to 36 surfaces for faster blitting. (Note: the BasicMapRenderer does this on the fly, and solves the older issues of mixing various image formats in a single view.)
::: More :::
Also available in downloads (Gummworld2 required):
- gw2_skeleton, a la skellington. Get this for fast skeleton setup. Highly recommended. I've gotten a fair number of how-to questions that are solved by this module layout.
- The Mana World resources needed by some Gummworld2 examples (sorry, TMW must be kept separate because it is GPL v2).
- A fixed-step game clock, a good general-use clock and scheduler.
- Mutable world demos (aka Gummcraft) v1.1 and v1.2.
- The original "bunny roundup game" demo.
- Pyweek 17 entry Harvest Moon.
- Odds and ends: Xbox 360 Controller, ImageCache, SqlNub.

There is a Google group to discuss Gummworld2 and related projects. All are welcome. Please stop by and start a discussion.

Hi forum,
I've decided to create a small, basic program that basically asks through a string input for a president of the USA, and if (for example) "George Bush" is typed in, it displays Bush's picture. I've got all the picture file names and the basic code, but I don't know how to make the picture put itself into the code. I don't know what command or function will let you display a picture. I tried copying off someone else's program, and I implemented his method into my code. But whenever I run the program to test Washington, it has an error and says something like file:gwashington.jpg not found" or something.
How do I make it identify file gwashington? I had all these plans to make games like snake and pong, but I need to use file images and now all my dreams have been crushed. . Some help?

Topic: someone else with cc
In the last two weeks I had a birthday, on 17th was 19 months since Wayne went to see Jesus, then the 28th was our 37th anniversary. A friend I work with suspected she had cc. Before she found out we talked all the time, gave each other hugs. She made me come to the realization that it wasn't the doctors fault, that I had blamed since day one. I realized it might have been worse if we had known the truth of how long. I spoke to one of my therapist she said that was a big personal step for me. Then my friend found out that she does have cc, now she doesn't want to even speak to me. Cancer is not transferred from one person to the next, if this was true we all would be dead. I have been in clinical depression for one and a half years, I have thought of suicide, I have a no harm contract with my therapist, to call someone if I feel I need to. I felt well coming to work today, until my friend (I know she is ill) wouldn't speak or come near me. I always said I scare people for I have lived their future. I have my lows, then my real lows, my lows turn into real lows very fast, my therapist is out of the country until Monday, I might tonight call a member of my hospice group, I've cried alot today while I'm alone. This horrible monster want be happy til it kills us all.
I'm not a widow, I am a wife
We are only apart for heaven's sake
You are waiting for me at heaven's gate

>General Running>The Exercise Equivalent of a Cheeseburger?
From the Wall Street Journal today (Once again....*SIGH*)
What makes this latest report a tiny bit different is it quotes Paul Thompson (a frequent critic of past studies) as being less skeptical these days.
I think that these data are beginning to confirm what many have suspected: there is likely a sweet spot for health benefits to endurance exercise for the average person, and running marathons probably isn't all that good for you.
While it's not possible to extrapolate what will happen to a given individual from population statistics, I do think these sorts of studies are worthwhile so at least we can eventually discover what we are getting into. The longitudinal studies are particularly interesting.
The data certainly aren't conclusive, so I'm not going to change my behavior at this point, but at least it does give my Mom articles to send me (since she is convinced I'm going to from this marathon stuff.)
Eating three sliders?
"If you have the fire, run..." -John Climacus
"The line began to blur between the health effects of running marathons and eating cheeseburgers."
See. I knew cheeseburgers were healthy.
"The line began to blur between the health effects of running marathons and eating cheeseburgers."
See. I knew cheeseburgers were healthy.
That extra six years of longevity running has been shown to confer? That benefit may disappear beyond 30 miles of running a week, suggest recent research.
I feel fine and for years now. And I've been averaging 60 to 80 plus miles per week. My only problem with long distance running are the pigs who work for Metra railroad.
Not dead. Yet.
What happened?
How can we know our limits if we don't test them?
Prince of Fatness
So, running an average of five miles a day is now considered excessive endurance exercise?
"Let me blow ya mind." -Eve
Before I read the article, I was thinking [hoping] that's what the study would say
'No matter how slow you go, you're still lapping everyone on the couch'
"Running is a big question mark that's there each and every day. It asks you, 'Are you going to be a wimp or are you going to be strong today?'" - Peter Maher
"Running long and hard is an ideal antidepressant, since it's hard to run and feel sorry for yourself at the same time. Also, there are those hours of clearheadedness that follow a long run." -Monte Davis
I've always found it interesting that running studies frequently talk about volume in terms of MPW. I would run my allotted 30 weekly miles in a bit over 210 minutes, where as a good many runners would take over 300. I expect the health impact (positive or negative) to be more driven by duration of activity, than the distance the runner covers. But, by measuring and reporting based on MPW the important number (time) can easily vary by 50%.
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.
I have to say that was one of the worst articles I have read. Very little statistics and no control group information until the end which looked like wasn't related to this study at all. Sure there are 3-4 iron man runners who had some weird heart issues but think about the 200million couch potatoes dying of ______ ( fill in the blank). They mentioned A-fib heart condition. It is funny because my uncle got A-fib because he was 150 pounds overweight.... I would rather get something wrong with me from trying to be healthy. Thumbs down on this article!
5k = 19.48 10/1/13
10k = 45.28 4/16/13
Half Marathon = 1:38.53 Summer Sizzle 7/13/14
Operation Jack Marathon 12/26/12 4:39.11
Solo O Marathon 06/02/13 3:52:10
Operation Jack Marathon 12/26/13 3:40.34
Hilarious assumption:
We do this because we believe it's healthy for us.
Ha. It is healthier than my old addictions, however.
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek
I absolutely did start running because I believed that it was good for me.

fic2 - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkThis will be a great buy when HP decides again to get out of the tablet game and dumps them in a fire sale! Reply
lukewayne - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkCan't wait to replace my touchpads in that fire sale! Reply
augiem - Tuesday, September 24, 2013 - linkReally? Even after the Touchpad fiasco you're still gonna buy HP? Reply
bleh0 - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkI'll wait for reviews (preferably from the gang here at anandtech) about the usability of these tablets. Reply
Simon42 - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - linkThey seem to both be limited to 1GB RAM... Disappointing, because we almost had a premium-performing Android 4:3 device. Reply
ArthurG - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkThe Slate 8 pro has 2 GB of RAM Reply
tviceman - Thursday, September 19, 2013 - link4:3 tablet. I am in! Reply
TheJian - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkPasted a list of devices below...When can we get some benchmarks. You guys act as though nothing is out. How hard is it to get a device to benchmark? Surely Xiaomi, Toshiba, Bungbungame etc want their devices benchmarked? Xiaomi runs at 1.8 (or 1.9 depends on who you believe I guess), so scores close to shield already as benchmarks have shown (faster than S800 in a LOT of stuff). When will we get some xiaomi benchmarks? It's Tegra4 at 1.8 in a PHONE right? $327? WOW. I don't see them bragging about the 2.3ghz S800 version either (since the phone comes with either chip, you'd think they are bragging about the winner right?).
A paste of a comment I made elsewhere:
T4 just started shipping end of July (basically only just over a month). Not sure how you can call it a failure yet:
2 toshibas with T4 (and a 3rd with a T3)
Vizio has a T4 (and T3) coming also that they showed at CES
Also the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity,
HP SlateBook x2 & an AIO device (20in?) both T4, not to mention
Mad Catz MOJO (they are SEEKING deal T4 they said).
BungBungame's Kalos tablet uses T4 also
Xiaomi Mi3 handset
Looks like T4 owns the top of the list right? Xiaomi phone is impressive.
Acer with TA2 coming with T4
Of course shield, and now maybe a tegra tab7 Q1?
Surface RT rev2 coming shortly (I think RT kills anything, but it's another device)
Couple those with Ouya, gamepop, wikipad etc and I think tegra has a pretty good year lined up even before the T4i. Hp, Toshiba, Microsoft, Asus, Acer all showing tegra 4 support.
ZTE also has U988S phone coming. I'm sure I'm missing a few devices but these are already coming. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkYou can be sure that Xiaomi, Toshiba, Bungbungame, etc. want their devices benchmarked and reviewed all you want. The fact is, most of those companies are not pushing hard for reviews, certainly not by us. If any of them were to contact us with a review sample, I'd happily do a review. Reply
ananduser - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkIs that a standard practice ? I thought tech sites/blogs are at last emailing for a review unit - especially for some of the more exotic hardware(like 40+ mpx phones). Meh, in that case I retract my previous whining on the abundance of the reviews. Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkWe email companies regularly, yes, but not every company really wants an AnandTech depth review, and there's also the question of how many reviews any person can pull off. A full laptop review for instance requires pretty much a solid week of work (around 40 hours), which means if I have three laptops on my plate already, I'm not going to go around emailing companies asking for [generic laptop x]. On the tablet and smartphone side, it's pretty much the same story, and the choice is either to seriously curtain the detail in a review or else focus on a more limited number of products. Reply
thesavvymage - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkthey get either what they own, or what they are sent. They do not go out and purchase hardware for the sake of reviewing it. They already benched shield, which is T4 at its best and it wasnt overly impressive. Reply
eiriklf - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkI'm sorry, but just because apple updated safari and geekbench results are now boosted by "cryptographic instructions" does not mean the A7 is way ahead of the competition. Reply
ArthurG - Friday, September 20, 2013 - link+1000
Except some very specific HW accelerated benchmarks (mainly encrypted related), T4 A15 CPU is faster than A7. Please stop the FUD Anand... Reply
Wilco1 - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkIn 32-bit mode A7 does beat Shield on Geekbench even without HW acceleration of AES. They are close though, a 2GHz A15 would get similar performance as a 1.3GHz A7. However A7 shines in 64-bit mode, pulling well ahead, not because of HW AES but primatily due to the new 64-bit ARM ISA. Until we get A57 I'd expect A7 to remain the fastest ARM. Reply
ArthurG - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkYou picked up one example only. Let me take a different one: In 3Dmark CPU physics test, T4 is 2 times faster than A7. So why take Geekbench and not 3DMark ?
And I don't agree that A7 will remain the fastest ARM SoC until A57. in 3 months, Nvidia Logan with A15 R4 on HPM at 2.3Ghz will blow away A7 in both CPU and GPU... Reply
Wilco1 - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkObviously in multithreaded tests T4 will win due to having twice as many cores as A7. Apple could easily make a quad core version if they wanted, but core for core A7 will be unbeaten for quite a while.
Logan is officially in Q2 next year, so if it will be out before the end of this year that would be amazing - but very unlikely. At least in Geekbench I don't think 2.3GHz will be enough to equal A7 on INT and FP in 64-bit mode but should beat it in 32-bit mode. Reply
TheJian - Thursday, September 26, 2013 - linkExactly how much AES encryption do you expect to do on your phone/tablet?...ROFL. Probably about as much as I plan on doing content creation on one. How much 64bit crap do you think matters in the next year on a phone/tablet? Or even the year after? Not much.
I want games out to TV with a gamepad so I have no need for a console. Portable movies/games/browsing when on the go. I don't use a tablet for encryption. It's kind of like having DX11.2 on a tablet. Turning on all it's features would result in 1fps.
If T4 was super fast at making hamburger, I'd tell you they wasted their engineering time too :) I don't make hamburger with my tablet :) It's about the games silly, not encryption (maybe one day your comment makes sense, not today and not in a phone/tablet). Also Apple is a small portion of the entire market and walled off on top of that. Apple will continue to shrink until they make gaming the central point of their devices (they do have a console coming, but where is the 1B+ game announcement like MS for xbox1?).
Enterprise mail made Rimm special. Everyone has it now, so down goes rimm. Appstore, Retina etc made apple special, but now everyone has all that crap and a good soc, so down goes apple. Modems made Qcom special, but now everyone has one out or coming early next year in a soc, so down goes qcom (check their margins/ Qreport - trend is down now). The new THING to have is GAMING, which at least to QCOM credit they hired 30 devs to show off their tech (though we've seen nothing yet, and they don't make a single game, just to show off stuff). NV and maybe AMD if they hurry, is about to take 20yrs of that experience and slap it's desktop gpu into a SOC. Tegrazone already has a pretty huge lead (surely working with Valve on steambox etc will further NV branding). Kepler is already very well known inside and out by game devs, so making stuff compatible with Kepler Mobile will be an easy task (same with AMD stuff coming providing they start making money to fund a decent race year after year). Don't forget the people that were kings in SOC GPU's were sent there by AMD/NV. IMG.L (who makes all apple gpus) failed on the desktop long ago and ran to NON gaming devices (phones/tablets etc-pre gaming this last year). Now they are becoming GAMING devices...LOL. Guess what happens next :)
IMG.L is broke BTW (had to borrow 20mil just to buy 100mil mips company). Being good at gaming takes 3 things. Good/great hardware, GREAT drivers, and working well with game DEVS. Only NV/AMD have 20yrs of experience in these 3 areas and AMD is broke and in debt (while NV has 3B cash, no debt) as their drivers have been showing for the last two years, giving up the cpu race to Intel, and wasting money on making crap for consoles which are dying (see sales of wiiu, vita, 3ds recently and predictions for them all going forward) etc. Mobile is the next thing and gaming on them to your TV will kill consoles (and console margins are awful for AMD unless they can get to the casual gamer years). It only has to be good enough early, and great over the next few years to stall CASUAL gamers from ever buying a console in years 3-8.
A7 isn't taking over the world, and fewer people plan on buying an iphone every year now as android is just as good and so are their socs. IE Galaxy S4 sells a lot yes? Check Apple's Stock price ;) The new iphone isn't impressive. Nobody was saying WOW this time in reviews.
JarredWalton - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkHardly. It's faster in a few specific corner cases I'm sure, but in most use cases quad-core is just more than tablets need and individually faster dual cores work better. In another 2-3 years, maybe that won't be true, but for now it is. Even then, never did I suggest that the A7 is "way ahead" of the competition. Here's what I said:
"As far as performance goes, Tegra 4 is quite fast but it looks like it will be slower than the new A7 at the heart of the iPhone 5s. GPU performance is a bit murkier, with Tegra 4 sometimes doing well (GFXBench 2.7.0 T-Rex HD and Egypt HD for instance have it on par with the A7 and Qualcomm MSM8974), but other times it falls behind (fill rate in particular looks to be a weak point – or a strong point of the A7 GPU). Given the variety of Android tablets along with NVIDIA's willingness to help optimize gaming performance, however, we expect Tegra 4 will remain competitive."
Being "slower than the A7" can mean 10% or so, and in many cases that's what we're seeing. Performance overall is "competitive" -- not class leading, but not bad by any means. Reply
ArthurG - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkyou cherry pick the benchs for your claims. I can do the same with 3DMark CPU Physics where Tegra4 is 2 times faster than A7... and it's not class leading ? yeah all depends on how you view it... Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkAs noted, quad-core aware applications that people truly use on tablets are a rarity. 3DMark Physics is a perfect example of a benchmark that scales well with cores but doesn't really represent what most apps or even games are doing.
You want to talk about cherry picking, even mentioning 3DMark Physics is a perfect example of that. I didn't even cite any specific benchmarks, so I couldn't have "cherry picked". All I said is that in general, it looks like A7 will still be faster than Tegra 4 (and that will be especially true if we compare A7 in a tablet with Tegra 4 in a tablet, or put Tegra 4 in a phone to compare with the iPhone 5s).
TL;DR - Don't get so upset that NVIDIA's Tegra 4 SoC isn't at the top of the performance charts. Tegra 3 and Tegra 2 didn't manage that either, but they still work okay. If you want the fastest SoC in a tablet, however, you're going to be upgrading fairly often. Reply
ArthurG - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkI don't work for Nvidia nor I own their shares. And I can say the same about S800 that I consider faster than A7.
oooh one last thing, I hope you will not get upset about A7 low performance when you will get Logan in hands ;) Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkI won't get upset either way -- why would I? I don't own an iPhone, and in fact the only Apple product in my house is a 4th Gen iPod Touch. I have a Tegra 2 tablet and a Tegra 3 tablet, as well as a no-name Mediatek tablet (LePan Tab II if you're curious). Tegra 2 is a bit painful to use, but Tegra 3 is at least okay, and ironically the Mediatek tablet is in some cases faster than the Acer A700 T3 tablet. (Faster clocked dual-cores vs. slower clocked quad-cores, donchaknow.)
But I'm sure glad to know how much you're looking forward to Logan. Let's see... Tegra 4 was first seen in working hardware how long ago? And we're still not done at the point where there are a lot of Tegra 4 devices, not by a long shot. So when Logan arrives some time next year (probably later in the year, judging by this year), and it's still 28nm but basically double or triples the GPU performance of the current Tegra 4, it will be competing with the next generation of SoCs, and some of those will be 20nm.
Anyway, you may not own any NVIDIA shares, and you may think S800 is faster than A7 as well. In some cases, it is. In general use, however, I think Apple's A7 will come out ahead of most if not all of the current crop of SoCs. Silvermont is right in the same ballpark for CPU performance, but it has a weaker GPU so it's an easy win for the A7. But then, as I noted already, coming out "ahead" isn't a huge deal if the difference is only 5% or even 10-20%. There are other factors that are far more important in any device, like the display, apps, build quality, battery life, etc. Reply
ArthurG - Friday, September 20, 2013 - link"I won't get upset either way -- why would I?"
really ? comon, Anandtech is notorious for being an Apple and Intel PR machine ! That's why I joked about Logan.
And talking about Logan, I'm very surprised that you don't have better source. Samples are at OEMs since July, 3 months sooner than T4. Logan devices should be introduced in Spring 2014. It will come in HPM process instead of HPL, giving nearly half node advantage compare to T4. We are talking about 20~30% better electrical performance. That's why S800 is clocked at 2.2~2.3Ghz instead of 1.5~1.7Ghz for S600...
In other hand 20nm at TSMC will come to end-users at very very end of 2014, early 2015... Reply
eiriklf - Friday, September 20, 2013 - linkJust like to say that even though I seem to have started this rather unproductive discussion, I definitely think it has gone way out of hand, I actually went back to try and edit my post (I cannot find any options to edit) because I thought it was too harsh.
Also I would like to clarify that what I meant with way ahead was that saying that the cyclone CPU which runs in a really rather small phone is more powerful than the actively cooled CPU in the shield it seems to me that you are claiming that apple is a long long way ahead in terms of CPU technology. And I truly believe that tegra 4 would give better performance even in single core scenarios if the software was more similarly optimized. It does seem true that the A7 is ahead of it's competitors in terms of performance relative to power consumption, but I do think you are overstating the differences. However it was more a general comment about the content on this site than to you in particular.
I had a similar issue when snapdragon 600 came out and Brian seemed to find huge performance improvements on top of the frequency increase compared to S4 Pro, but if you look at other S4 Pro based units the difference is hardly bigger than the frequency increase would indicate. My main issue is that there is a big tendency to attribute every performance improvement as an improvement in hardware, and given the state of mobile benchmarks that's not even remotely true. All the benchmarks in the iPhone 5s review were run on brand new OS with a brand new browser, and the review hardly considers that and instead in my opinion goes a long way in confirming apples statement about desktop like performance. Reply
More importantly, looking at iPhone 5/5c with iOS 7 relative to iPhone 5s tells us a lot about the performance of A7. I don't think anyone would try to say the A6 SoC is horribly slow, and with A7 basically outperforming it by 30-100% (with the average being closer to 40% -- just eyballing here, though, so I'm not trying to be precise!).... Anyone suggesting A7 isn't an impressive bump in performance over the existing chips is trying to shovel something.
Cortex-A15 is fast, sure, but power efficiency is at best suspect. (Which isn't to say it's not more efficient than some other CPUs/SoCs.) Apple went off on their own with Swift precisely because they didn't feel A15 was what they wanted. With their size and income, Apple actually has the ability to really start to push things if they want, and we're seeing that now. 5-10 years from now, I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple designed processors outpacing most of the stuff from AMD...and that may start to happen before 5 years even.
At the end of the day, I'm a technology enthusiast, and so people doing interesting things with technology are what excites me, even if I don't ever buy the product in question. Intel has done that for decades now, NVIDIA and AMD do it to varying degrees with GPUs (and now SoCs), and Apple is... well, for a change we're seeing a lot more on the hardware side rather than just the software side. I don't care for OS X (or Linux), and I didn't like MacOS back in the day; the massive following of Apple fanatics doesn't help.
But that doesn't mean I can't be impressed by some of what they're doing, and the A7 is a lot more than I was expecting from the "S-cycle refresh" out of Cupertino. Is it the best thing ever? Nope, and things are now complex enough that there are always going to be use cases where no single chip is fastest in every way. Will Logan be better when it ships? Maybe, but right now A7 is shipping and available and Logan is at best a long shot to come out in volume before the end of the year.
FWIW, I do like some aspects of iOS, but at the end of the day I still prefer my Android devices. Price is a big factor though; if I had the money, you can bet I'd be buying an iPhone 5s and an iPad 4. Reply

How to Use the Record
Birth Index
1. Search Birth Index 1891-1892, Volume 01 for your ancestor and note page and line number.
Some pages are damaged and will not allow you to recover the page number or line number, which can make the search more difficult.
The fact that you found your ancestor in the Birth Index for 1891-1892, Volume 01 does help you know where to look next.
2. With the page and line number, go to Births 1891-1892, Certificate Numbers 640001-646442, and search for the page you noted in Volume 01. In this record, the page number is either hand-written or printed and these numbers appear in the middle or on the left or right upper corner of the page.
The page will state the District and the entry will give you:
- Date of birth
- Place of birth
- Parents' names
- Father's occupation
- Religious denomination of parents
- Date of baptism
- By whom baptized
- Name of child
- Sex
- Date of register
- Registering officer
- Remarks (certificate number)
3. Repeat this process for Birth Index 1891-1892, Volume 02, noting the following:
- Births 1892-1895, Certificate Number 620001-634463 - it is advisable to read the remarks on frontice page at Image 2.
- Page 1 is missing and the pages are partly damaged.
- Births 1893-1895, Certificate Number 634464-639686 is a continuation of the previous record.
4. Repeat this process, using first the Birth Index 1895-1897, Volume 03 and then search for the birth entry in Births 1895-1897, Certificate Number 600041-660119.
Delayed Births
1. Births 1861-1865, Box 02 contains delayed registrations of births and are listed alphabetically. The documents are varied, containing mostly affidavits requesting a birth record and are sometimes supported by baptism records and declarations by ministers or priests, that this person was born on a specific day to specific parents in a specific place. These records are indexed in Delayed Births, Box 01-34.
2. Note: Births 1866-1869, Box 03-04 and Births 1870-1871, Box 05 should be listed under the following Delayed Births Index, Box 01-34.
3. Delayed Birth Index 1840-1915, Box 01-34 contains:
- Sworn affidavits of person attesting to the age of relatives, friends or acquaintances.
- Delayed registrations of birth (if a birth was not registered within one year from the date of the birth, an application had to be completed and supported by written evidence of birth).
- Photocopies of actual baptism/birth certificates.
- Extracts, by clergy, from parish registers of baptisms.
- Lists which include more than one family member which are sometimes copied from a Family Bible.
Some records may duplicate baptisms already available in the Collection of Vital Statistics Registers or the Parish Records Collection. Some are records of baptism/birth which may not be found elsewhere. This is especially true of church records, which have been destroyed by fire and which predated the start of civil registration in 1891.
This collection contains a number of marriage records, as well as one death record. They are noted in the indices.
These thirty-four boxes of bound records are inclusively for the years 1840 to 1915. Each box contains a finding aid (index) for the volume(s) in that particular box. The index lists the surnames of all records contained in the box. The year of each record is noted. Each volume of records is arranged alphabetically.
This master index lists the surnames of all records contained in the entire collection of All Newfoundland Births (34 boxes). The year of each record is noted and the box in which it is contained.
Example: In Delayed Birth Index 1840-1915, Box 01-34 (image 9) is a record for Thomas Adams, 1860 in Box 02. With that information, go to Delayed Births 1859-1860, Box 01-02 (image 53) to see the original document.
Death Indexes
The Death Indexes cover the years 1891-1949. The Death Indexes provide the years and volumes to be searched to obtain the original record.
Example: In Death Index 1891-1892, Volume 01 is a record for Alice Amelia Bennel showing the reference information of 'page 1 line 4'. With that information, go to Deaths 1891-1891, Volume 01 and the search will locate her on Image #3.
In the following records, Death Index 1920-1930; Death Index 1931-1937; Death Index 1938-1945 and Death Index 1946-1949 is found a Vital Statistics Index that states:
- Name
- Place of event
- Birth year
- Immigrant record
- Full date of event
- Registration number (this number corresponds to the Certificate Number)
The Death Indexes with the years and volume numbers correspond to the Deaths, with years and volumes.
Marriage Index
Marriage Index 1891-1892, Volume 01 records are at Images 49-86. Images 1-48 are misplaced duplicates of death records from the Death Index 1891-1892, Volume 01 link..
Marriages 1887-1920, Certificate Numbers 950001-950016 Note: Certificate numbers begin at image #3. The 1st page is a marriage affidavit and the 2nd page contains records for Dec. 1887 to Feb. 1888 and 1 record for Aug. 2, 1888.
Marriages 1921-1922, Certificate Number 950001-950011 Note: Certificate numbers begin correctly with image #1.
The Marriage Indexes with the years and volume numbers correspond to the Marriages, with years and volumes.
Why the Record Was Created
Official registration of Births, marriages, and deaths did occur in Newfoundland until 1891.
Record Reliability
These records are generally reliable but not all churches and clergy responded to the request for records. So the collection is not complete. Also, as most of the records were handwritten and then copied from there may be transcription errors and mistakes in orthography of some individual's names. It is important to check for alternate and similar spellings.

"I ordered these in gold and a light pink, with different colors representing alternate meal choices. I was so impressed with the paper quality and the print on these. Not only that, but I'm really picky about paper I write on because I'm left handed and things I write always smear. The paper absorbed the ink quickly and they looked absolutely flawless. The gold is metallic, which I was worried about. Sometimes a non metallic gold color can look flat and icky, but it truly was a sparkly gold! Loved everything about them, and so did guests! Most even took them home!"
"I changed the table number Font to match the other paper items that will be issued to guests at the wedding. It was extremely easy and it works perfectly! I wish I could have personalized it a bit more but I am very happy with my experience and the finished product. These place cards are absolutely beautiful."
"I ordered these to go with the same style invitation and response cards (silver version). Very nice quality paper and graphics."
"These turned out perfect! It's very hard ordering items off the internet and hoping they are as perfect in person as they are on the computer screen. These didn't let me down! Beautifully done!"
"These place cards had a simple design that nicely matched the invitations of the same style. Good product. I'm very satisfied."

UNH Welcomes Nobel Laureate, Microfinance and Social Business Pioneer Muhammad Yunus
The University of New Hampshire will welcome Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Laureate and pioneer of the microfinance industry, to campus this fall as the keynote speaker for the New Hampshire Social Business and Microfinance Forum and the first Social Business Innovation Challenge.
The University of New Hampshire will welcome Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Laureate and pioneer of the microfinance industry, to campus Monday, Sept. 30, 2013, as the keynote speaker for the statewide New Hampshire Social Business and Microfinance Forum and the Social Business Innovation Challenge for New Hampshire college students and community members.
The final round of the Social Business Innovation Challenge begins at 8 a.m. in Piscataqua and Squamscott rooms, UNH Holloway Commons. The presentation of Social Business Innovation awards and keynote address "Social Business – The New Kind of Capitalism That Serves Humanity's Most Pressing Needs" by Nobel Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus begins at 10 a.m. in the Granite State Room, MUB.
The events are being hosted by UNH and organized by the Paul College of Business and Economics and the Carsey Institute, both at UNH. They are free and open to the public, but registration is required. Please register at http://www.unh.edu/socialbusiness/agenda-and-registration. The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, Yunus will give the keynote address at the New Hampshire Social Business and Microfinance Forum, and will present the awards at the Social Business Innovation Challenge. Only the seventh person to receive the Nobel Peace Prize (2006), the Presidential Medal of Freedom (2009), and the Congressional Gold Medal (2013), Yunus is best known for his pioneering work as the founder of the Grameen Bank, as the "father of microcredit," and more broadly for the movement to create social businesses.
Social businesses create innovative solutions to difficult problems such as poverty and climate change. Unlike traditional nonprofit organizations, social businesses aim to be market-based and to fund their operations and growth through earned revenues rather than donations. Like for-profits, social businesses harness the best of market-based approaches, but have a primary social, rather than financial, objective. Social business provides a necessary framework for tackling social issues by combining business know-how with the desire to improve quality of life.
The first Social Business Innovation Challenge asks college students from across the state to find innovative, business-oriented solutions to pressing social and environmental issues at the state, national or global level.
For more information, visit http://www.unh.edu/socialbusiness. The University of New Hampshire, founded in 1866, is a world-class public research university with the feel of a New England liberal arts college. A land, sea, and space-grant university, UNH is the state's flagship public institution, enrolling 12,200 undergraduate and 2,300 graduate students.

Dee Griffin, DVM, MS, University of Nebraska, reminds those in the livestock industry to be aware of human safety during times of heat stress in addition to animal safety.
Maintaining feedlot personnel health during a heat crisis is critical. Without optimum output from personnel, heat stress management for livestock can't be accomplished. These recommendations are for personnel doing reasonably strenuous outdoor work when temperatures are in the critical range.
- Minimize strenuous work during hotter times of the day or at least alternate between hard and light work. If personnel must do hard work, take a break each hour by spending 10-20 minutes of each hour doing less strenuous work, preferably in the shade.
- Force water consumption. Drink one to two quarts of water per hour. A buddy system should be used to make sure adequate water is consumed, workload alternates between strenuous work with periods of light work, and early signs of heat exhaustion are detected. Signs of heat exhaustion include mood changes, emotional responses, and confusion.
- If a person gets overheated, he or she should not return to strenuous work that day. Inside work or taking the rest of the day off is advisable. Failure to do this may result in the person developing heat stroke.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have materials available about heat stress and heat stress avoidance. Click here for more information.

Danica Patrick became the 16th woman to race in NASCAR's premier division when she began her Sprint Cup career last season. Despite the accomplishments of the women before her, Patrick now has one thing on her resume that her predecessors can't claim: a Sprint Cup Pole.
With a lap of 196.434 miles per hour, Patrick outperformed her male counterparts and will start NASCAR's Super Bowl of racing, the Daytona 500, from the front row alongside four-time champion Jeff Gordon.
When Patrick announced that she would be joining Stewart-Haas Racing for the full 2013 Cup season, many questioned her ability to compete at NASCAR's senior level. After all her performance in 10 races last season was a little inconsistent but team owner, Tony Stewart, liked what he saw and knew that the popular driver could find success if given a chance.
"It's her second trip to Daytona here in a Cup car," said Stewart after qualifying was official. "She's made history in the sport. That's stuff that we're proud of being a part of with her."
As Patrick basked in the spotlight of her achievements Sunday afternoon, she was quick to point out that her pole win was a total team effort.
"I think that says a lot about the team, a lot about Stewart-Haas Racing, a lot about how much work was done over the winter and how they've adapted to the new car," said Patrick. "This is very much a team pole."
Prior to Patrick, the most accomplished Cup Series female race driver was Janet Guthrie who started 33 races in her short NASCAR career. Guthrie posted five top 10 finishes but her best starting position was ninth at Talladega and Bristol. Patrick's historic effort may not silence a lot of her critics but it definitely should make them rethink their position.
"There's only one person that can be the first to do anything," said Stewart on his driver's historic run. "It doesn't matter how many do it after you accomplish that same goal. The first one that does always has that little bit more significance to it because you were the first."
Now sitting on the pole for the Daytona 500 is one thing, but how you perform in the race is another. Stewart thinks his young driver is positioned to turn some heads this season.
"I believe in her. The team believes in her. Our organization believes in her," continued Stewart. "We're going to do everything we can to make her as consistent and fast every week."
Despite the high expectations that the media has placed on Patrick since her entry into the NASCAR ranks, the popular driver still has a lot to learn in her rookie year. However, with the type of support that she is getting from her car owner and team, this could be a very historic season for this female driver.

The CBS Radio Mystery Theater promised more adult situations than were found in the Golden Age of Radio. This episode featured prostitution (although the words "prostitute," "whore," or anything equally explicit were left unsaid) and marital infidelity from an (almost) sympathetic character. Thriller, prophetic dreams.
A man inexplicably leaves his loving wife to pursue a trampish barfly who he is sure is his dream woman. He dreams that he will love her and she will kill him. A lot of story masterfully crammed into 44 minutes. Highly recommended
Maria Victoria T.
A man has a dream of a beautiful woman with whom he immediately falls in love, until the dream woman pulls out a knife and makes for him with fairly obvious intentions. Upon waking, his wife is concerned with the dream, and the man seeks professional advice from a psychiatrist. Upon leaving from his first session he encounters a woman in the lobby waiting her own appointment who matches exactly the woman in his dreams.
George Lowthar presses the envelope again. "The Dream Woman" is a fantastic listen. Full of romance, infidelity, deception, and murder. A true recipe for a fantastic story. 4 stars.
It's best to listen to this CBSRMT episode twice because the quality of this recording isn't too good. This story reminds me of a TWILIGHT ZONE episode called "Perchance To Dream" where a man who has been awake for a long time tells his psychiatrist that he will die if he goes to sleep, because a Vixen is trying to kill him. In this Wilkie Collins tale, written by George Lowthar, Norman Meredith (played by Kevin McCarthy) doesn't know which is the personification of Death. Is it the blonde-haired hazel-eyed actress Sandra Lawrence (played by Teri Keane) that he fell in love with? Or is it the long-bladed razor-sharp carving knife? Perhaps the knife is Death's scythe. The sound effects of the knife stabbings weren't chilling enough and this tale needed more music, both in reality and in the dream sequences. Music as chilling as Episode #1245-THE JUDGE'S HOUSE. What I enjoyed the most in this episode was E.G. Marshall's beneficial narration in all 3 Acts, like he's Rod Serling, discussing about dreams & their origins. If you like Wilkie Collins' stories, you're going to like this twisted ending.
Does this episode remind anyone of Bates Motel?
Interesting obsession of a man who dreams of a woman who will kill him, and pursues her even though he's happily married. I think the description above isn't quite correct when it states he dreams of her killing him AFTER he abandons his wife.

Did Kourtney Kardashian Give Birth to Her Second Child Last Night?
Kourtney Kardashian's tweet last night might be a big clue on whether baby number 2 is here!
-PJ Gach
Kourtney Kardashian has been looking like she's been ready to pop for a while now. After last night's tweet, she may have actually had her second child. Last night she tweeted, "Chick-fil-A and a water birth. No big deal." Attached to the tweet was a photo of a Chik Fil A cup. Sis Khloe Kardashian retweeted it and added the comment "Kourt you so crazy."
The 'net then exploded with fans sending congratulations. However, Kourtney's Twitter account has been silent—rare for a Kardashian, as they'll tweet constantly.

Maybe the whole thing was a joke? TooFab.com is reporting that Kourtney didn't have her baby last night; she's merely been researching water birthing techniques.
Either baby number two has made his or her entrance into the world last night, or Kourtney was pranking the world. I wonder if she had the baby, will she keep it a secret until the next season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians? Naaah. None of the Kardashians could stay away from the limelight that long.

You exercise your body to stay physically in shape, so why shouldn't you exercise your brain to stay mentally fit? With these daily exercises you will learn how to flex your mind, improve your creativity and boost your memory. As with any exercise, repetition is necessary for you to see improvement, so pick your favorite exercises from our daily suggestions and repeat them as desired. Try to do some mentalrobics every single day!
Having a good posture is very important because it allows you to breathe properly. With hunched shoulders, the volume of your chest cavity is reduced which limits your ability take deep breaths. Even a small slouch can cause you to have shallow breathing and increased stress.
Additionally, walking around with hunched shoulders gives off a negative appearance and can cause you to feel worse. If you walk proudly with your shoulders back and you head straight you will feel better and the people you interact with will feel better. If you want to experiment with this, take a 10-minute walk down the street with your head bent to the ground and your shoulders slumped. How do you feel? Now take the same walk with your head straight and making eye contact with the people you meet. You'll feel a lot better at the end of the second walk.

Andrew Wilkie says Canberra should no longer be Australia's public service capital.
The Tasmanian MP, former public servant and army officer has gone further than even the Coalition by arguing the Commonwealth public sector should be completely decentralised.
"The ACT has grown and it is a much different place," said Mr Wilkie, who had
"There is no logical reason anymore why the ACT should be the centre of gravity for the federal public service."
The relocation of Commonwealth civil servants throughout the country is shaping as an issue which could be brought into action before the next federal election.
Cities and towns across vast swathes of Australia are lobbying for Canberra bureaucrats to be parachuted in to boost their local economies, or for positions to be created for their own residents at the expense of the national capital's economy.
Mr Wilkie's comments strike at the heart of Sir Robert Menzies' vision for Canberra to be the nation's administrative capital which has continued unhindered for the past 60 years.
He has also put forward an argument Canberra-based politicians have disputed: that the territory's economy is diversified enough to cope without reliance on public sector employment.
Denison MP Mr Wilkie said he was "fiercely loyal" to his south-east Tasmanian electorate and Canberra could absorb job cuts, even though they would be disruptive.
"I'm not Canberra bashing," he said.
"[Tasmania] has the highest unemployment of any state.
"I note the ACT has the lowest unemployment of any state or territory."
Mr Wilkie last week spoke with Tony Abbott's parliamentary secretary Josh Frydenberg who will keep the Tasmanian politician updated on investigations into moving federal public service jobs to the Apple Isle.
Tasmania was already losing some federal public sector jobs as part of a national cull of 16,500 positions outlined in the latest budget.
The number was not yet confirmed but the Community and Public Sector Union (CPSU) has reportedly said there could be up to 500 culled in Tasmania.
The southern state was also in the process of reducing state public sector jobs in an environment where the youth jobless rate hit a whopping 18.2 per cent recently and the unemployment figure earlier this year was 7.6 per cent.
Mr Wilkie conceded he faced at least one challenge if public servants were relocated south.
The independent MP said he would need to push hard for jobs to be relocated to his electorate of Denison, as opposed to the two northern Tasmanian swing seats of Bass and Braddon.
Importing jobs into two northern seats could be more politically favourable for the Coalition, as opposed to Denison which had not had a Liberal representative since 1987.
Mr Wilkie said his seat, which included Hobart, deserved more of the jobs as it had lost more public service positions so far and already had significant infrastructure as well as many of the people with the skills to work for the Commonwealth.
He said there should be no limitation on the kinds of departments that should shift their workers to Tasmania.
Already the Abbott government has committed to relocating bureaucrats to the Central Coast and a parliamentary inquiry was being lobbied by communities across northern Australia to do the same at the expense of Canberra.
The ACT was already set to lose 6500 federal public service jobs by mid-2018, if the 16,500 positions cut across the Commonwealth bureaucracy are proportional.

Search through millions of records to find out more.
1925 — Lipa, Poland
Stefania was born to a Catholic family in a village near Przemysl. They lived on a large farm and cultivated several different crops. While her father worked with the farmhands in the fields, Stefania's mother, a trained midwife, managed the house and cared for her eight children.
1933-39: My father died in 1938 after an illness. With my mother's approval, I joined my sister in Przemysl in 1939. At 14 I worked in a grocery store owned by the Diamants, a Jewish family. They treated me like family, and I moved in with them when the Germans invaded [Poland] on September 14, 1939. But two weeks later, the Soviets occupied the city [under theGerman-Soviet Pact]. The grocery store stayed open; I shopped in the market for food to sell to our customers.
1940-44: The Germans again occupied the city in June 1941. Like all Jews in Przemysl, the Diamants were forced into a ghetto. My mother was sent to Germany for forced labor; I was 16 and left to care for my 6-year-old sister. I found us an apartment outside the ghetto and traded clothes for food. In 1942 news spread that the ghetto was being liquidated. I decided to help some Jews escape the final roundups by hiding them. I moved into a cottage for more space. Soon, 13 Jews were living in a secret space in my attic.
Przemysl was liberated on July 27, 1944. The Jews that 17-year-old Stefania helped to hide all survived the war. In 1961 she moved to the United States with Josef Diamant, whom she married.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/12/2013 (1354 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The province issued a travel alert Sunday saying Highway 513 from Lake St. Martin to Lake Winnipeg has been closed because of flooding caused by an ice jam.
The affected section of the highway is near Gypsumville, about 261 kilometres northwest of Winnipeg.
A wind chill warning remains in effect. This morning in Winnipeg it felt like -42 Celsius.
In these conditions, frostbite can occur in as little as 5 to 10 minutes, says Environment Canada.
A bitterly cold air mass associated with an Arctic high pressure ridge is dominating Southern Manitoba.
In Winnipeg, low temperatures near minus 30 this morning, combined with southwest winds of 15 to 20 kilometres per hour, will give extreme wind chills in the minus forties.
Today's high is expected to reach -19 C but will feel like -33 C with the 20 km-hour south wind.
For the start of the work week, Monday's windchilll is expected to feel like -39 C. Cold, sunny days are forecast for the rest of the week.
At least the sun is shining.

The sharemarket has finished relatively flat for the week as investors remain cautious over the looming US fiscal cliff and a once-in-a-decade change of leadership in China.
The benchmark S&P/ASX200 finished just 1.9 points higher for the week at 4462.
Among the sectors, health enjoyed a nice run, adding 2.2 per cent, telecoms and consumer staples rose 0.5 per cent each and materials gained 0.3 per cent. Financials and energy both finished lower for the week, falling 0.1 per cent and 0.9 per cent respectively.
For the day, the ASX200 lost 21.8 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 4,462, halving its early losses. The broader All Ordinaries dropped 19.7 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 4482.5.
Despite a spike in the market late Wednesday after the US presidential election was called in favour of incumbent Barack Obama, investors forfieted most of those gains as the realisation that the looming problem of the fiscal cliff is far from solved.
''Post US election, everyone got to prophesising what is going to happen with the fiscal cliff, our assumption has been that most of the shock will be avoided,'' said JPMorgan Economist Ben Jarman.
''We can't avoid is completely but it looks like fiscal policy will drag around 2 per cent off US growth from the start of next year.''
The result of the US election helped the Australian dollar surge during the week, jumping almost a full cent for the week.
Mr Jarman said the re-election of Barack Obama meant that quantitative easing would be more likely to continue. This weakened the US dollar against most major currencies and the Australia dollar was no exception.
The dollar jumped from a low of 103.32 US cents on Monday to finish at 104.22 US cents in late trading on Friday.
Mr Jarman said he expected the dollar to remain between 104-106 US cents for the next year or so.
Markets are also waiting on another important global, although much less publicised, the transition of power within the Chinese Communist Party, with investors cautiously waiting to see how China's new leaders will approach the coming decade, after a huge surge of growth of the previous period.
''If they're of a mind to focus on this shift in the pattern of growth towards consumption and away from things like infrastructure, that will have ramifications for Chinese growth, for global commodities markets and therefore for the Australian economy and the Aussie dollar,'' said Mr Jarman.
This wait and see approach was also taken by the Reserve Bank, which kept the official cash rate on hold at 3.25 per cent at its monthly meeting on Tuesday.
''If you characterise the October rate cut as them being a little bit ahead of the curb and the news having then got a little better again, that was the clincher for leaving it rates on hold,'' said Mr Jarman.
Mr Jarman said that were would likely still be some more easing to come in this cycle, around 50 basis points, but the early signs of prior easing were starting to gain a bit of traction.
''The triggers for further easing are going to be further data weakness. We think the data has further to fall and the case will become clearer as we move into next year,'' he said.

Gravity on the brain, reported in New Scientist, 23 April, 2005, p20. Francesco Laquaniti, had observed that astronauts are not good at predicting the movement of objects in zero gravity. He and a team of researchers from the Santa Lucia Foundation and University of Rome studied brain scans of people who were observing moving objects. They found that a region of the brain called the vestibular cortex was activated when the subjects were shown objects moving in a normal way under the influence of gravity, but did not respond as much when the subjects were shown objects moving in an unnatural way. Laquaniti concluded this meant the vestibular cortex was responding to gravity, not just movement. It seems the brain has a built-in memory model of gravity that it uses to predict movements. The vestibular cortex is the region of brain that processes information coming from balance sensors, e.g. the inner ear. The researchers suggested the vestibular cortex uses the balance information to calibrate the model.
Editorial Comment: The more we study how the brain perceives the world around us the more we are finding that brains come with vast amounts of back information already built into them, without which it cannot interpret the world around it. This is good evidence for purposeful creation by God who designed both our bodies and the environment we live in and programmed our brains accordingly. (Ref. perception, senses, information)
