> The Brewers lost to the Padres last night, 5-3. Tom Gorzelanny was cruising for the most part up until the sixth inning, when he gave up a game-tying double to Carlos Quentin and what would be the game-winning hit to Jesus Guzman. Jean Segura and Jonathan Lucroy hit back-to-back doubles in the first inning to give the Brewers an early 2-0 lead, but that was about the only damage done to Padres starter Andrew Cashner.
> But last night's loss almost didn't feel like anything following the news that was reported earlier in the day. I think we all knew it was coming, but I was surprised at the circumstances. Ryan Braun has been suspended for the rest of 2013 season (a total of 65 games). He will also miss the postseason should the Brewers make it. (We all know that won't happen, but that was an official condition of the suspension.)
From a logical standpoint, this isn't that big of a deal, to be honest. This is a lost season in which Braun wasn't contributing to already, so not much changes from here on out. I'd rather he miss the rest of this season than the first half of next season. He can come back and have a fresh start.
But I know I speak for a lot of Brewers fans when I say I don't know what to feel emotionally. Braun has been my favorite player ever since his call-up in 2007, and it was amazing watching what could have been a Hall of Fame career develop during his first few years in Milwaukee.
Yesterday, though, Braun admitted to using performance-enhancing drugs. That changes everything. It means he's been lying for the better part of the last two years. I almost don't want to believe it. If you'll recall, the day after his exoneration in March of 2012, he made a speech at the Brewers' Spring Training complex in Maryvale, Arizona. It was a great speech, in my opinion, and he was so defiant about not having taken PEDs that I wouldn't have believed for a second that he did it.
But apparently he did. Like I said, the suspension works out well for the Brewers from a logical standpoint, but I don't think the emotional toll that this takes on the Brewers fan base that has tried to support and defend him through all of this will ever go away.
For me, at least, the worst part of this will be the way other teams' fans will treat Brewers fans (and the team as well). After the news broke yesterday, I could hardly look at my timeline on Twitter (following Cardinals fans certainly comes back to bite you in situations like these).
Oh well. We all knew it was coming, and now this fanbase is in tatters. But we won't be the only ones.
> One thing I strongly disagree with, however, is everyone saying Braun should apologize to certain parties, Dino Laurenzi Jr. in particular. The fact that Braun is getting suspended now doesn't mean he did his job right. In fact, you could argue that it's even worse. None of this changes the fact that Laurenzi kept Braun's urine in a refrigerator in his basement overnight. Had Braun been suspended back in early 2012, then sure, maybe apologize to Laurenzi (but that's assuming he would have done the job correctly). The whole reason Braun didn't get suspended until now is because of his error.
Braun also doesn't need to apologize to the Arizona players who feel "cheated" from losing the NLDS in 2011. Because it's given that ALL of their players were clean at the time, right?
> And my last note on this subject: it's irritating that MLB went out of its way to isolate Braun from the rest of the pack, meaning everyone else related to the Biogenesis clinic. Those hundreds of players across professional baseball are just as guilty as Braun and have been lying all along as well. I don't see any reason to go after Braun specifically.
But, with Braun out of the way, MLB is going to stop at nothing to suspend everyone related to the Biogenesis clinic. Alex Rodriguez is going to get absolutely hammered. Yasmani Grandal, Jhonny Peralta, and Melky Cabrera are just a few other names that were on that list. Other fan bases are about to be crushed along with us.
> Three Brewers relievers have been drawing interest recently: John Axford, Jim Henderson, and Francisco Rodriguez. The Tigers, Dodgers, and Red Sox have reportedly been heavily scouting the Brewers' relievers recently.
> Yovani Gallardo remains a trade target, but since it was reported that the Diamondbacks and Rockies were interested in him, there haven't been many rumors surrounding him.
> The Brewers play the second game of this four-gamer with the Padres tonight at 7:10 PM CT. Donovan Hand (0-1, 3.27 ERA) will go for the Brewers and be opposed by spot starter Tyson Ross (0-4, 3.60 ERA).

Should Hot Dogs Carry Warning Labels?
Los Angeles Times reports that a vegan advocacy group wants to put cancer-risk warning labels on hot dog packages sold in New Jersey. The Cancer Project is filing a lawsuit against five major food companies—Nathan's Famous, Kraft Foods/Oscar Mayer, Sara Lee, Con Agra Foods, and Marathon Enterprises—on behalf of three New Jersey residents who bought these companies hot dogs without knowing that the hot dogs are a cause of colorectal cancer. Neal Barnard, M.D., president of the Cancer Project, compares the health risk of eating hot dogs to the lung cancer risk posed when smoking cigarettes, and says that the same information should be made available to customers who eat hot dogs.
Do you think hot dogs should carry warning labels? Are there other foods that you think should have labels?

Before You Begin
Make sure that any pages you create are in the right space of the wiki. For example, course related material should go in the Course space. If you're not sure what space your page belongs in, you might want to check out this helpful chart. The Notepad is a good place to begin and you can always move or rename your page later. The namespace prefix (such as Course:) should be left in the input form. Please see Help:Namespaces for more information on how the UBC Wiki is organized.
To create a subpage using the below forms, write the name of the parent page, add a forward slash, and then the name of the child page (the proper syntax is Prefix:Parent Page/Child page). Please note the page titles are case sensitive. Please see Help:Subpages for more info.
How to Use The Notepad Space
The Kumu Wiki is organized into different content areas to accommodate different needs and the Notepad is a place to work, experiment, collaborate, and play using the wiki. To add pages to the Notepad, simply add the prefix Notepad: before your page title.

Wikis are widely used for documentation as they allow colleagues to collaborate, update, and centrally store manuals and guides. Wikis work well for this purpose as there is no need to continually send out updated files to individual colleagues. As soon as you update your wiki pages, everyone who accesses those pages will have access to the most current information. Likewise, the open nature of wikis allow anyone who has new information to update the documentation. Just remember, this space is, like the rest of TRU Kumu wiki, wide open to anyone at TRU to write and to anyone else in the world to read. Please see Help:Contents for more information on using the Kumu Wiki.

Create a page from a link
MediaWiki makes it very easy to link wiki pages using a standard syntax (see Links). If you (or anyone else) create a link to an article that doesn't exist yet, the link will be colored red, like this.
Clicking a red link will take you to the edit page for the new article. Simply type your text, click save and the new page will be created.
Once the page has been created, the link will change from red to blue (purple for pages you've visited) indicating that the article now exists.
Usually this is the best way to create a new page, because it means that right from the start, the page will be linked from at least one other place on the wiki (and typically you will want to mesh it into other related pages later). If you are creating a new page without creating any link to it, you may need to ask yourself: Does this page really fit in with the topics already covered in the wiki? Also, how are you expecting visitors to find this page? Normally there is no reason to create a page without first creating a red link to it.
Create from the search page
If you search for a page that doesn't exist (using the search box and "Go" button on the left of the page) then you will be provided with a link to create the new page.
Using the URL
You can use the wiki's URL for creating a new page. The URL to an article of the wiki is usually something like this:
If you replace
ARTICLE with the name of the page you wish to create in the URL field of your browser, you will be taken to a blank page which indicates that no article of that name exists yet. Clicking the "Edit" page tab at the top of the page will take you to the edit page for that article, where you can create the new page by typing your text, and clicking submit.

Chaos is everywhere,
And as always I find myself amidst of it.
I find myself standing in the middle of it all, helpless.
As helpless as I've always been.
I watch everything crumble apart,
The dust, the rubble blind me,
And I silently scream.
I scream and scream,
so much so that it tears my inner walls.
It all goes unheard.
I find myself standing there,
Amidst of chaos.
As helpless as I've always been.
I wish for the night to fall,
I wish for everything to go dark,
so I won't get to see all the destruction this chaos has caused.
They say every chaos eventually settles,
But really at what cost?

Trucking and Vanlines
Self Service Moving with Pick Up and Delivery
Want to save money on your self move? Thinking about a self service mover? Moving yourself can be an easy alternative to professional movers if planned properly or it can be a nightmare if not. Having a couple of friends help with their pickup trucks may work for small local moves but consider a self service moving company for anything more.
Three things to consider for self service moves:
Packing for your move: Packing everything in your home can be the most work in a move. Proper packing and packing materials will add time and money to your move. Make certain all non essentials well before your planned move. Well-packed goods take up less space, are easier to handle and are less likely to be damaged.
Moving help: Having enough qualified people to help you move at both ends of the move will make moving easier. More people means less strain on each individual and a faster move. Make sure the house movers you chose are able to move furniture such as your couch up stairs or into the couch. Be careful of injuries and plan a safe move.
Moving trucks: Moving truck rental and selecting the right moving truck plays a major role in a well planned move. Make sure the truck is big enough for the job. The goal should be to have enough space to make loading and unloading easy, and to complete the move in one trip.
Following is a guideline for estimating how much truck you'll need.
10-foot truck: 1 to 2 furnished
There are various types of self service moving. The list below will help explan the differnce between them all.
Moving truck rental: Most of us know of the various moving truck rental companies on the market from U-haul or Budget to Ryder moving trucks many companies offer do it yourself moving truck rental services. With these companies you simply rent a truck and load and drive it yourself. This type of move requires the most time and effort on the movers part. These type of moves can also be the most stressful type of move and are most likely to cause unexpected headaches and costs.
U-pack they move service: Many self service movers offer pick up and delivery service with their moving truck rentals. With these types of self service moves the moving truck rental company simple delivers a truck or container to your home and you pack it. the truck company will then pick up and deliver your household goods to your new home for a set price. This option saves you the labor of packing services over professional movers.

YANKEES: Robinson Cano powers Yankees past Toronto Blue Jays with two home runs
NEW YORK >> Yankees manager Joe Girardi has proved to be quite adept at lineup juggling and position shuffling during an injury plagued first two months. Still, there's one player he thinks he would be unable to do without: Robinson Cano.
The All-Star second baseman hit a pair of two-run homers to back a solid effort by David Phelps, and New York beat the Toronto Blue Jays for the ninth straight time at Yankee Stadium, 7-2 Saturday.
"I'm glad that's not a moving part," Girardi said. "He's not someone you can replace."
Phelps (2-2) struck out eight while allowing one run in a season-high seven innings, helping New York beat the Blue Jays for the eighth time in nine games this season.
Cano connected off Brandon Morrow with two outs in the third after Brett Gardner drove in the first run of the game with an RBI single. Cano also hit one off Morrow (1-3) with two away in the fifth, a shot that gave him his second multihomer game of the year. He has 12 such games for his career.
"I felt like I threw a lot better than what the scoreboard indicated," Morrow said, "but just that, you know, New York's Robinson Cano, he was the whole ballgame."
Travis Hafner returned to the Yankees' lineup after missing five games because of right shoulder inflammation and hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning.
The AL East's top team will send ace CC Sabathia to the mound Sunday with a chance to complete its second sweep of Toronto in the Bronx in three weeks. The Yankees took four straight from April 25-28. The Blue Jays counter with NL Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey.
Toronto has lost 23 of its last 28 games at Yankee Stadium.
"Yankee Stadium is always a tough place to play, regardless," Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. "They've taken it to us pretty good here."
Making his fourth start in place of the injured Ivan Nova, Phelps was at his best with runners on base. In the first, he walked Jose Bautista and Edwin Encarnacion but picked Bautista off second base and struck out J.P. Arencibia to end the inning. With runners on first and second in the third, Phelps got Melky Cabrera to ground into a double play. After again walking Bautista, he struck out Encarnacion with a high fastball for the third out.
The Blue Jays cut the lead to 3-1 in the fourth. After Adam Lind had the first of his two doubles, Colby Rasmus hit a sharp liner that Curtis Granderson, playing right field for the first time in his big league career, got spun around on and Lind scored. But Phelps struck out Maicer Izturis to limit the damage.
"I was making pitches when I needed to," Phelps said. "I was all over the place today."
Phelps was greeted on the field just in front of the dugout with a handshake from Girardi after a 1-2-3 seventh. Phelps yielded six hits and walked three.
David Robertson gave up Encarnacion's 12th homer in a rainy eighth inning.
Morrow had his start pushed back from Wednesday because of neck and back tightness, and the rest appeared to have served him well early. He retired six in a row before Jayson Nix singled to start the third.
With two outs, Gardner singled to center field and third base coach Rob Thomson signaled Nix home with a feverish windmill of his right arm. Nix slid in before the throw arrived.
Cano then sent the next pitch on the shortest possible journey out of the ballpark, just clearing the fence down the right-field line. Cano hit his 12th of the year in the fifth with a no-doubter to right-center, driving in Austin Romine, who singled.
"That was a good game," Cano said.
Morrow was lifted after throwing 75 pitches in five innings. He allowed seven hits and five runs.
NOTES: Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner, at the stadium for fan photo day, said he was pleasantly surprised but "not shocked" by New York's early success, considering all the injuries. ... New York acquired INF Reid Brignac from Colorado for cash. He was recently designated for assignment by the Rockies. ... Gibbons said LHP J.A. Happ (skull fracture, knee) is still sidelined because of the knee injury he sustained when he fell to the turf after being hit in the head by a line drive and is not near pitching again. Gibbons said Happ's head is fine. ... Blue Jays RHP Josh Johnson (triceps) will make his first rehab start on Monday for Class-A Dunedin. ... Cabrera doubled for the fifth straight game, a career high.

KARACHI, Pakistan (AP) _ Pakistani police say a passenger bus has rammed into a disabled flatbed trailer parked on the side of a highway in the south, killing at least 36 people, including 17 women and children.
Police officer Zia Soomro says the bus was headed north near the town of Pannu Aqil when it hit the truck early Sunday.
He also said 20 people were injured in the crash. He said some of the injured were admitted in serious condition to the town hospital and that the death toll could increase.
Soomro said the accident's cause is unclear. He said one track of the road is closed at the site due to construction work.
Bad road infrastructure, poor driving and massive disregard for traffic rules often cause such accidents in Pakistan.

Zuccarello's SO goal lifts Rangers over Leafs
Recommended Video:
NEW YORK (AP) -- Mats Zuccarello scored the lone goal in the shootout, and the New York Rangers overcame another two-goal performance by Toronto's Phil Kessel to beat the Maple Leafs 3-2 on Wednesday night.
The Rangers moved back into seventh place in the Eastern Conference.
Zuccarello, called out before the game by Rangers coach John Tortorella to score more, connected in the second round of the tiebreaker against James Reimer. Henrik Lundqvist turned aside all three Toronto shooters, and the Rangers (20-16-4) moved into a flat-footed tie with the New York Islanders, who had claimed seventh Tuesday.
The area rivals will meet Saturday on Long Island.
The Ottawa Senators also are even with the Rangers and Islanders with 44 points at the bottom of the East race. Toronto has 49 points.
Carl Hagelin and defenseman Ryan McDonagh both had a goal and assist in the second period for the Rangers, who carried a 2-1 lead into the third. New York is 12-0-0 this season when leading after two and 82-0-6, dating to the 2009-10 season.
The teams engaged in a very spirited overtime that featured chances at both ends and only one stoppage of play in the 5-minute period. Lundqvist kept the Rangers in it with a series of in-close saves, culminating with a stop with his arm to deny Nazem Kadri.
Toronto outshot New York 4-2 in overtime but trailed 28-25 overall.
Kessel powered the Maple Leafs for a second consecutive game in three days against the Rangers. After getting a pair of goals and an assist in Toronto's 4-3 home win over New York on Monday, Kessel struck again for two more goals, including the tying tally 8:05 into the third period.
Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi turned over the puck at the right point, and James van Riemsdyk raced up ice alone. He was joined by Kessel, who took a cross-zone pass and slammed in a shot to make it 2-2.
The Rangers had failed to increase their lead during a pair of power plays early in the third period, but generated prime scoring chances after the game was tied. Brad Richards and Ryan Callahan were both denied on the doorstep by Reimer.
Toronto also failed to take the lead when it received its second power play with 8:32 left in regulation. Then the Maple Leafs were content to let the final seconds of regulation run out as they held the puck in their end without mounting a rush.
The Maple Leafs came out strong at the start of the second period, grabbed the lead, and showed signs that perhaps they were poised to sweep the home-and-home series and leave the Rangers behind them for good.
After all, Kessel struck again and made it 1-0 just 1:42 into the second with an unassisted goal, and the Maple Leafs soon after earned the first power play of the game.
But the Rangers killed it off and began to turn the tide once they managed their first shot of the period at around the midway point during a power play of their own.
New York didn't convert on that advantage, but the Rangers kept up the pressure and got even on Hagelin's ninth goal of the season.
Hagelin worked hard behind the Toronto net and nearly scored on a jam shot. The Rangers retained possession in the Leafs' end, and Derek Stepan let go a shot that Reimer stopped. Hagelin got the rebound and took a shot from along the goal line to Reimer's left that found its way in.
McDonagh gave the Rangers their first lead in the two games when he stick-handled along the center of the blue line and snapped off a drive that knuckled through traffic. It fluttered past a screened Reimer, who didn't seem to react until the puck ruffled the back of the net.
Reimer looked very steady at the other end two nights after he stymied the Rangers by making 31 saves.
NOTES: Stepan has a career-best, six-game point streak (four goals, five assists). ... Kessel leads Maple Leafs players with seven goals, eight assists and 15 points in 24 career games against the Rangers. ... Toronto is 0-5 in shootouts.

Happy Groundhog Day! This doesn't actually count as a holiday, but at the very least it is the one day each year that every American can devote to the contemplation of quantum physics. Can there be any bigger fun than that?
Well we hope the comments flying today in our own recent item on quantum computers are edifying as well as fun. This is the first of a series, but before it recurs we thought we'd summarize some of what has been said. We fear otherwise the pith may get "lost in translation," as in a famous film with Bill Murray in a serious role, delivering an Oscar-nominated performance. Bill Murray charges a $100,000 speaking fee, which a bet posted here would just cover, so we should get serious too. Here goes…
Roadmap to Comments
Cristopher Moore of the Santa Fe Institute was the first to give an evaluation of Gil Kalai's conjectures. He began with the position that given known theoretical results, arguing limitations on quantum computers (QC's) entails arguing against quantum mechanics itself. His main request was to focus arguments on the underlying physics. Gil Kalai responded by positing some limits on QC's that everyone might agree on, but not clearly so to Steve Flammia and Boaz Barak who joined in that thread, while John Sidles gave supplementary considerations and recalled a Theoretical Physics StackExchange thread opened last September by Kalai.
Barak then asked whether Gil's conjectures intended to knock the power of down to the classical . Gil thought yes but this is not central yet. Gil then opened a second thread responding to Moore and Flammia. One point of contention became whether noise can really be separated from the main notion of physical process being analyzed, insofar as noise arises from the same ambit of physical processes. Sidles noted that "noise" in plasma physics has frustrated efforts at plus-rate fusion energy.
Physicist Robert Alicki, who was referenced in the post itself, then weighed in here and here with details on the physics underlying the objections to FTQC. Geordie Rose, CTO of D-Wave Systems, however, noted progress in building QC's, though with criticism of the standard quantum circuit model by which the feasibility of QC's is mainly argued.

One aspect of the discussion that I find puzzeling is the following:
Some people are much more ready to accept a reality where QC are possible in principle, but it will take a hundred years to build them, or even that they will not be built at all, compared to a reality that there is a 10% chance that a principle explaining why quantum computers are infeasible will be discovered, but otherwise they will be built in 20 years.

Scott's analogy of human flight to Mars is a good analogy for how I think about it.
Will we send a human to Mars in the next 20 or 100 years? I'd assign some low probabilities to this, like 1% or so.
Is doing so absolutely impossible, like faster-than-light travel? I'd assign probability 0.000001% to this. This probability is pretty much the floor that I assign to possibilities like our universe being a simulation, or that I'm insane and not able to rationally make predictions, or that there's some other reason that most of my fundamental beliefs about the world are totally wrong.
I am slightly less confident in the in-principle feasibility of QC. But I am confident enough to argue for it. 🙂

Ok, I'll toss in my 0.2 cents. My first point is that I have no idea what I am talking about. I've only ever had a quick romp through QM, and I've seen a bit of stuff about QC but never looked at it in detail. But it's Friday, and I figured I'd just chime in with the totally naive observer perspective.
It was implied earlier that not believing in QM would mean not believing in QC. That's fundamentally my position, although it is not quite that simple. I keep zeroing in on the noise aspect. I see the underlying probabilities in QM as an artifact of the boundary between two discrete formal systems. Ignoring duality for the moment, a universe composed of particles that inhibit discrete locations, behaving in a repeatable manner, forms a deterministic system. A larger non-aligned system overlaid on top of this would induce a probabilistic uncertainty mismatch between these two systems.
By way of analogy, I see it as looking through a camera at the world, but one where the lens is distorted and blurry. If that's your only perspective, you could easily conclude that what you are seeing in the viewfinder does indeed match reality. If you see a blurry cat in front of you, you can reach out and touch the blurry cat, so it would confirm your conviction that you are seeing the world as it is, which to some degree you are.
But what you are also getting in that picture is a significant amount of artifacts — noise — that is making it difficult to precisely find the boundaries of the cat. You could ignore this noise, or work it into your world philosophy, but the noise itself is an artifact of the lens you are using, not the world around you.
Getting back to quantum computers, if the fundamental underlying issue is that the noise is significant in preventing one from utilizing these constructs for deterministic calculation, it seems to me that the noise might not be coming from the underlying physics, but rather from the model being used to describe the underlying physics. And it would also seem to me that the ability to build a QC is intrinsically tied with the accuracy of QM. The model might be workable, but that does mean that it's the best or most accurate model of the world around us. A much better lens for the camera might eliminate the probability of reaching out for the cat, but missing …
But it is Friday, and I am clueless 🙂
Tyle Stelzig permalinkFebruary 9, 2012 8:49 pm
I liked your post a lot, it was clear and well-articulated. But I disagree. 🙂
Like it or not, nature just isn't deterministic. There is no deterministic theory which can explain phenomena like this which doesn't get lots of other stuff wrong. QM may not be the final word, but it's certainly right about probabilities.
To put it another way, it happens to be a fact about our world that a maximally informative set of information about the state of a system (even an 'ideal' system) does not completely determine the outcomes of all possible measurements performed on that system. If you perform one of these undeterminable measurements, you will indeed obtain a value, but in doing so you will destroy the OTHER information you previously had about the system. In other words, the outcomes of experiments which otherwise would have been predictable with certainty no longer are. One of the triumphs of quantum theory is packaging this (and other) strangeness in a remarkably concise framework.
You say, "[quantum mechanics] might be workable, but that doesn't mean that it's the best or most accurate model of the world around us." You're certainly right that QM doesn't have to be exactly right. But certain essential features are here to stay. For example, Newton was wrong about gravity. But clearly any theory of gravity had to explain the success of Newton's theory – for example, it had to predict that objects of mass should experience an attractive force that is usually at least roughly proportional to r^(-2). And quantum theory has been tested with far more precision than any other theory in the history of science. Certain parameters in QED have been shown to agree with experiment to more than 10 significant figures. That's like measuring the distance to the moon, and worrying about millimeters… And since so little is put into the theory, these successes reflect an accurate theoretical structure, rather than successful fine-tuning. It is truly remarkable. So my point is this: while it's possible, or even likely, that improvements to this theory may be found, these modifications will have to respect the profound successes that the theory has had. And this necessarily implies that the new theory will also be probabilistic.
At least, the theory has to be probabilistic several orders of magnitude below what we can directly see (so a thousand times smaller than an electron or more). But conceivably there could be an immense collection of deterministic events operating at scales much much smaller than what we can measure, as long as the behavior of this hidden assembly produces quantum phenomena in the aggregate. This would not be unlike the emergence of thermodynamics from statistical mechanics.
But the important point is that even if this rather fantastical picture turns out to be true, the behavior of the hidden assembly must be PRECISELY (well, with 10 sig figs) that which produces the quantum behavior that we are familiar with. Thus, discovering that this is the case would not change that fact that phenomena at quantum scales are unavoidably probabilistic. And also note that this scenario would be quite different from "the noise coming from the model", rather than from the physics. The noise comes from the physics, and if our model did not reflect that noise, it would be wrong.

I like your blog, but why must you start these flame wars? Perpetual motion?!

Ken Regan asserts: "Bill Murray's most soulful comic role, however, is the initially egotistical TV weatherman Phil Connors in Groundhog Day (1993)."
For mathematicians, yes. For scientists however, Bill Murray's most soulful role is the aging-yet-still-committed Steve Zissou in the meta-eponymous film The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), in which the elusive "jaguar shark" stands as a metaphor for quantum factoring engines (and many another scientific quest too).
February 4, 2012 12:07 pm
Yes, it is puzzling that people are so eager to accept the possibility of QC, when the empirical evidence is so weak.
February 5, 2012 8:12 pm
The evidence for quantum mechanics is overwhelming, and no one has a physical theory that permits quantum mechanics but not quantum computing. Gil is trying to develop one, but it's not yet the kind of theory like the Standard Model that you can use to make precise physical predictions.

Please let me express the hope (and the expectation) that this wonderful GLL-hosted QM / QC / QIT debate will escape the dreadful quagmire into which the climate-change debates have fallen; a quagmire in which the weakest forms of "gotcha" criticism assail the weakest forms of "not even wrong" science.
It is sobering to reflect that the dogmatically polarized climate-change debate has been largely characterized by invective language and disputed wagers rather than creative math-and-science. The resulting dialogs surely are heated, yet regrettably are not illuminating.
We all prosper when the strongest and most innovative (yet kindly and collegial) criticisms assail the strongest and most successful (yet flexible) scientific theories, and these are the posts that I have most enjoyed reading here on GLL.
Fortunately, there have been plenty of illuminating posts on both sides of the debate … more please! 🙂 🙂 🙂

A bit disappointed Bruce Irvin is off the board – he'll be good in the NFL. But I can see the Pack going for a huge dude like Worthy here. He is a really good player, he's aggressive and he could fill out the line, pretty much eliminate the run and provide a decent pass rush presence as well. Tough player.
Or, might they go after Peter Konz?

As we transition to our new site, you'll still find some Stats NZ information here on this archive site.
Note: This time series is irregular. Because the 2011 Census was cancelled after the Canterbury earthquake on 22 February 2011, the gap between this census and the last one is seven years. The change in the data between 2006 and 2013 may be greater than in the usual five-year gap between censuses. Be careful when comparing trends.

About Beaton's Croft
Beaton's Croft lies in the township of Bornesketaig at the north end of Skye. In the late 19th century it was built and then occupied as one of a row of four by the four Gillies brothers. Bornesketaig at that time was known as Pennicille and was most likely established as a settlement by the old church, now a ruin which stands above the township. Superb views across to the Isles of Harris, Lewis and North Uist are the icing on the cake of this authentic historic croft.
About the area
Skye combines spectacular mountains, views to make the heart soar, and a rich heritage of historically significant events to enthral visitors of any age, from every part of the world.
The awe-inspiring peaks of the Cuillin mountains rise at the centre and provide some of the most challenging walking and climbing in Britain. Seafood is abundant and world-class cuisine is available at the famous Three Chimneys restaurant. In Portree, just over 20 miles away you'll find most amenities. Kilmuir is the burial site for Flora MacDonald, who escorted Bonnie Prince Charlie 'over the sea to Skye', while Dunvegan Castle holds more than 800 years of dramatic island history within its walls.
Things to do
- Stock up on Talisker whisky from the local distillery, then enjoy a picnic on the beach at nearby Talisker Bay, where it's said the Irish Giant Cuillin once waded ashore to do battle.
- Hike up to the entrancing peaks of the Quiraing. The unusual mountain shapes were formed by a series of landslips. Look out for 'the needle', 'the table' and 'the prison'.
- The Whitewave Outdoor Centre offers kayaking, windsurfing, archery and guided walks to make the most of Skye's landscape.
Getting there
After crossing the Skye bridge, at Kyleakin Roundabout take the 3rd exit onto the A87 for
Portree, Uig. Join the A87, then take the A855 for Staffin. Bornesketaig will be on your left. < Less

Streamlining Design with Real-World Vibration Analysis
Register today and gain access to the entire SolidWorks white paper library
Mechanical designers often use vibration simulation as a timesaving and cost-efficient alternative to the traditional approach of building, testing, modifying, and retesting their designs. By identifying the factors that influence the response to a dynamic load in a computer model, designers have the data needed to make the right improvements before they even cut a single piece of metal. In addition to greatly decreasing the number of actual prototypes required, vibration analysis also significantly reduces the costs involved.

Athlete-doctor's book prescribes fixes for sport injuries
When patients come to Dr. Jordan Metzl with shin splints, tendinitis and other sports injuries, they aren't just seeking his expertise as a physician. They're seeking his expertise as a lifelong athlete and veteran of multiple marathons and Ironman triathlons.
Metzl, who practices sports medicine at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York, with a secondary office in Old Greenwich, treats athletes of all ages and abilities. His clients have included football players and the Radio City Rockettes. His patients, he said, don't just see him as a doctor. They see him as a colleague in athleticism -- someone who has experienced many of the same aches and pains that they have.
"If you're going to be a sports medicine doctor, you have to walk the walk," said Metzl, who lives in New York. "My patients respect what I tell them to do, because they know I'm thinking about this from athletic point of view."
In other words, he knows that the primary concern of any injured athlete is getting back to his or her sport or activity. To that end, Metzl has written "The Athlete's Book of Home Remedies," ($25.99, Rodale Books). The book, published this year, offers more than a thousand health fixes and prevention secrets for a wide range of sports injuries. Each chapter focuses on a different section of the body, such as knees or the lower back, and details the various ailments that could afflict these body parts. The book also lets readers know whether they need surgery for a certain condition or if they should call a doctor about their problem. The goal, Metzl said, is educating the athletically inclined and empowering them to take care of their bodies. He spoke more about the book, and his own athletic endeavours, during a recent telephone interview.
Q: You come from a family of many doctors. Your father is a pediatrician; your mother is a psychologist and two of your three siblings are medical doctors. Did you always know you wanted to be a doctor? Did you always know you wanted to pursue sports medicine?
A: It sounds corny but I really did. My parents were my heroes growing up. I remember making rounds with my dad. I always thought I'd be a doctor. Eventually, I knew I loved sports and (preventive) health. There was a whole evolution of knowing I wanted be a doctor and knowing what kind I wanted to be.
Q: You're also an accomplished athlete. You played sports, including soccer, in both high school and college and you've participated in nearly 30 marathons. You also just completed your 10th Iron Man triathlon. What drives you to compete in these extreme events?
A: I think it comes from a desire to push myself further than your body and mind want to go. Doing these kinds of athletic events parallels a lot of the other things I want to do, in that I want to get the most from myself.
Q: Why did you decide to write this book?
A: I just think there's so much information out there that's wrong and tends to steer people toward getting certain procedures. There was no real source out there that was unbiased. My main purpose for this is to keep people active and moving. Our best medicine is prevention. Our health care system is set up to treat disease. If you have a heart problem, you go to a doctor, get diagnosed, get medicine, and maybe get a catheter or open heart surgery. We spend so little time talking about prevention. Exercise is prevention.
Q: As a doctor, what are the most common sports-related injuries you see?
A: It really depends on what time of year and the age of the person. In the fall, I see lots of runners paying for the New York marathon, and they come in with shin splints. In the spring, I see lots of baseball players. It really tends to be seasonal.
Everybody who comes to see me, their main thing is "I want to get back to my activity." The main reason they come to see me is that they know I'm an athlete. I think (being an athlete) evolved over time to give me a unique perspective.
Q: What remedies and preventive measures in this book do you think will be most useful to people?
A: If you have an arthritic knee or tendonitis, (you're) told to rest it. I say the opposite. I want you to do more. Basically, if you rest it, you end up losing all of your strength. If you exercise and strengthen it, it's like you're building scaffolding. That's very surprising for people.
Q: What do you most want people to take away from this book?
A: I want them to be empowered. I think everybody knows that activity is good for them, but I think that, when it comes to prevention and injury, people really don't know what to do. I want people to be their own best advocates. It's about taking care of their own bodies and asking the right questions of their providers and themselves.

Does your old person have trouble unplugging power cords from their sockets? Fear not! This award winning student design can see to it that, with a simple eject button, your grandma's osteoporotic fingers need not suffer unplugging her computer again.
Dreamed up by UK design student Glen Crombie, this concept won first prize at the Future Perfect Company design competition, which asked its competitors to find elegant solutions for the problems faced by an aging population. The idea is simple: if the average three-pronged plug is too hard for an older person to grip, add an easily-installed eject button to push the plug right out of its socket. Quick and easy. It might be nice to see this concept see some real-life use. [Wired via The Future Perfect Company]

The exhibit here of ship artifacts and personal effects of passengers and crew from the ill-fated Titanic is more a retrospect on the human aspect of the April 15, 1912, nautical disaster than an observation of the upcoming centennial.
Visitors in a sense board the RMS Titanic upon arrival at the Natural History Museum in Balboa Park. Their tickets White Star Line boarding passes that bear biographical data of a real passenger 100 years ago personalize the voyage.
At the end of the self-guided tour is a chart bearing the names of the 2,228 passengers and crew members. Visitors can scan the list to learn if their real-life counterpart survived or perished.
The odds arent good the tragedy claimed 1,523 lives, with only 705 survivors.
The Titanic, the most luxurious steamer of its time, departed Southampton, England, on its maiden voyage, headed for New York City, on April 10, 1912. Four days later, at 11:40 p.m., the ship struck an iceberg and sank two hours and 40 minutes later.
The ship split in two, coming to rest upright 2.5 miles (13,200 feet) beneath the surface. The debris field, 400 miles southeast of Newfoundland, covers an area 5 miles by 3 miles.
About 5,500 artifacts have been recovered, none from the ship itself.
Social rank, wealth or celebrity status didnt guarantee surival. Silent film star Dorothy Gibson survived, but industrialists John Jacob Astor IV and Benjamin Guggenheim didnt.
Ida Straus, wife of Macys co-owner, Isidor Straus, declined a place in a lifeboat under the women-and-children-first ethic to remain with her husband. Both went down with the ship.
Frederick Goodwin, 42, his wife, Augusta, 43, and their six children, ages 16 to a babe in arms, booked third-class passage on the Titanic when their original steamer was delayed by a strike in the coal industry. They all perished.
Artifacts and accompanying text provide a close-up look at society at the time.
Third-class passage on the Titanic was $40, equivalent to about $900 today. First-class travelers paid $4,500, about $103,000 today.
First-class accommodations offered elegant quarters while third-class travelers made do with cramped rooms where the sound and vibrations of the engines never ceased.
As a historical aside, one learns that third class on the White Star Line was a cut above similar accommodations on other steamers because company officials recognized they would need less affluent passengers to fill ships in coming years.
Class consciousness extended to the quality of tableware, and the entrées on a reproduced but authentic menu show filet mignon for first class, roast pork for second class and baked haddock for third class.
Among the 200 artifacts here are a corked champagne bottle about one-third full; corroded metal kitchen pans; a womans hair pin; vials containing perfume; a plastic hand mirror; several types of paper money; a chandelier; a porcelain chamber pot; the flap of a suitcase, a Gillette razor blade wrapper; a salt cellar with a White Star Line logo on the side and liquor bottles.
We try to have a representative selection of artifacts, Theresa Nelson, a spokeswoman for RMS Titanic Inc., which owns the rights to the ship, said by telephone from Atlanta. We try to be thoughtful and offer a complete story of the Titanic.
There are two permanent and six traveling exhibits of Titanic memorabilia in the United States and abroad. The exhibit will be here until Sept. 9.
A photo of the wreckage site and a display of intact au gratin dishes drew gee-whiz admiration from one visitor. The wooden cabinet that held stored dishes settled on the bottom without mishap. The wood eventually rotted, leaving the dishes resting in the sand in perfect alignment.
Hardly anyone passed without touching a steel panel depicting an iceberg. The panel is adapted to function much like a freezer coil in early refrigerators that gathers a layer of ice on the surface. The temperature of the pretend iceberg is 28 degrees, the same as the North Atlantic water the night the Titanic went down.
Online research reveals that immersion in water colder than 32 degrees will render a person unconscious in less than 15 minutes, with maximum survival time estimated at 45 minutes.
The loss of life, compounded by the opinion that the Titanic, the largest vessel ever built to that date, was indestructible, stunned the world.
Witness the smug declaration of Titanic Capt. Edward J. Smith:
I cannot conceive of any vital disaster happening to this vessel. Modern shipbuilding has gone beyond that.
This reporters party of four represented:
Harvey Collyer, 31, an Englishman who severed ties with his homeland to relocate in Idaho and buy a fruit farm. He and his wife, Charlotte Tate Collyer, who had contracted tuberculosis, and their daughter, Marjorie, 8, were traveling second class.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor IV (Madeline Talmage Force). She was 18 years old (only one year younger than his eldest son, Vincent) and pregnant. The family traveled first class with a maid, nurse, manservant and family dog, an Airedale named Kitty.
Mrs. Antoni Yazbeck (Selini Alexander), age 15, from Lebanon, who was in an arranged marriage with a successful shoe merchant. The destination of the couple, who had married 50 days earlier, was Wilkes Barre, Pa. They had third-class accommodations.
Samuel L. Goldenberg, 47, from Paris and one of the principal founders of the French Bulldog Club. He and his wife, Nella Wiggins Goldenberg, were en route to the French Bulldog Club of America show in New York City.
We all survived.
But in the end, the message from the Titanic exhibit appears to be: Dont count on anything. Existence is fragile, life is uncertain and fate often intervenes in human affairs.
The words of Irish philosopher Jack Foster, on an exhibit hall wall, sums it up: We are all passengers on the Titanic.

A non-title superfight between heavyweight champion Cole Konrad (7-0 MMA, 2-0 BFC) and Paul Buentello (29-13 MMA, 0-0 BFC) has been added to August's Bellator 48 lineup.
A heavyweight fight between UFC vets Ricco Rodriguez (46-11 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and Seth Petruzelli (13-6 MMA, 0-0 BFC) also is set for the event.
Bellator officials announced the fights on Saturday.
Bellator 48 takes place Aug. 20 at Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, Conn. The night's main card airs on MTV2.
Konrad vs. Buentello will be televised, but it's not clear if Rodriguez vs. Petruzelli will be part of the broadcast.
Konrad and Buentello initially were slated to fight at Bellator 42 back in April, but Buentello was forced off the card with a back injury.
The rescheduled fight is Konrad's first since winning Bellator's season-three
heavyweight tournament. With the win, the two-time NCAA Division I
national wrestling champion became Bellator's first-ever heavyweight
champ. His tourney run included
decision victories over Rogent Lloret and Damian Grabowski, and a
submission win over Neil Grove. (Bellator policy dictates that only tourney winners get title
shots, so the belt won't be on the line against Buentello.)
Buentello, a 14-year pro, is 2-1 since his March 2010 UFC release, and
the lone loss came to former UFC champ Tim Sylvia. Buentello, who went
14-2 from 2001 to 2007, has registered 17 knockout victories in 29
career wins. His fight with Konrad marks his Bellator debut.
While slimming down, former UFC champ Rodriguez has put together the longest win streak of his career. He went 7-0 in 2010 alone. In fact, he could have made it 8-0, but a Bellator 31 fight with Dave "Pee Wee" Herman was scratched when Rodriguez suffered a knee injury and was forced off the September card.
Petruzelli, a UFC and "The Ultimate Fighter 2" veteran, is perhaps best known for a 2008 EliteXC win over then-unbeaten Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson. He rode the momentum of that CBS-televised victory to a UFC return, but he was released for a third time following losses to Ricardo Romero and Karlos Vemola. But he recently got back in the win column with a TKO of David Mewborn at an April regional event in Florida.

It has been about 25 years since I went to a gym and lifted weights. Some of my Facebook friends weren't even born then. My two boys have been wanting to join a gym and work out for over a year. We finally did it. I am easing back into it to avoid injury as my body needs more stretching and conditioning before I start with the heavy weights. It is nice bonding time to spend with my sons as I have become their Personal Trainer as well. I eat healthier now too because working out always helps you make better choices so as not to be counterproductive with the gym progress. I am giving myself about ten-years to bulk-up for the Mr. Olympia Competition or to begin my Mixed Martial Arts career...

Hassan tells NH agencies to lower budget requests
Gov.-elect looks to cut
Gov.-elect Maggie Hassan has told New Hampshire agencies to submit new, lower spending requests for the two-year budget taking effect in July.
Hassan asked agencies on Wednesday to come up with budgets that spend 97 percent of their adjusted 2013 appropriation for 2014. She asked them to submit requests for 2015 that equal their 2013 appropriation.
Hassan said the 97 percent budget targets will serve as a baseline to allow her to better identify priorities. She said the agency budget requests may be adjusted higher or lower depending on revenues, federal actions and state priorities.
Agencies have requested $3.3 billion in spending from state tax sources - a 26 percent increase over the current budget - and $11.9 billion from all funding sources or a 19 percent increase.

LOS ANGELES, July 23 (UPI) -- Jack Wagner, Cameron Mathison and Rachel Blanchard are to begin shooting the TV pilot "My Gal Sunday" in Vancouver Wednesday, the Hallmark Channel announced.
The 2-hour program is based on the book of short stories by Mary Higgins Clark.
A synopsis says the pilot is about "an irresistible sleuthing duo, Sandra 'Sunday' O'Brien-Parker, renowned attorney and private investigator and her newlywed husband and sleuthing partner, Henry Parker, whose deep political ties and endearing romance put them at the center of intrigue and scandal."
Blanchard will play Sandra and Mathison will play Henry. Wagner will play Sandra's father, a Secret Service agent.
Clark's daughter Carol and granddaughter Elizabeth will co-star in the pilot, which is to air in 2014, and could be the launch pad for a possible prime time series.

Yesterday was the day that my elder son slipped and needed five stitches in his lower lip to heal. That's really a bad experience making me have the feeling- if I were to be my son, he wouldn't suffer so much. I did really want to take his place to have that pain while a doctor was dealing with the wound. If you put youself in my shoes as a father, you would feel the feeling was hard to describe, and painful. That's life, full of challenges and setbacks here and there when you make an effort in getting where you want to be. So you have to be tough enough, and hang in there at what you're aiming. Achievinging success not the kind of thing done overnight, it takes time,determination,action, and some passion I guess. More of that, my son have to tackle with in the future. That's the reason there's nothing wrong with some suffering ahead of him to be successful.(I comfored myself by thinkg so at that moment.) Character-building is crucial in childhood, which makes what the child to be in the future. As parents, we play the role of assisstants as best as we can. With having children towards positive , it is the ultimate goal for parents, isn't it? As the results of character-building, parents seem obviously content with this.Last edited by rice07 on Wed Jan 09, 2008 5:11 am; edited 1 time in total Back to top rice07Joined: 26 Oct 2007Posts: 385 Posted: Thu Dec 13, 2007 7:03 am Post subject: Sorry for me to make a correction- ...my son has to...

Article content
Matt Frattin was cut by the Maple Leafs during training camp.
With that in mind, you didn't think he was going to let up with time left on the clock, did you?
Not a chance.
So it was that Frattin blew around Buffalo Sabres defenceman Jordan Leopold in the final seconds of overtime on Tuesday night and lifted the puck past goaltender Ryan Miller, giving the Leafs a rare victory in Buffalo, this one a 4-3 decision before 18,801 stunned fans at the First Niagara Center.
"If there is time on the clock, you still have time to score," Frattin said. "Whenever there is an opportunity to score a goal, you are going to go for it.
"It was kind of a depressing downfall that I got sent back to the Marlies, but I went back there and worked hard and got the call back up pretty quick."
With time winding down, the Leafs gained control of the puck in their own zone. John-Michael Liles threw a pass to Frattin, who managed to control the puck and chip it past Leopold before switching back to his forehand to beat Miller with 1.5 seconds left.
It was just the second time the Leafs won in Buffalo since December 2008, and in the process, ended a two-game skid. Frattin scored two goals, giving him three in three games, and more importantly, James Reimer made 29 saves, further proof that he is settling into a groove.
"Reims is playing really solid for us," captain Dion Phaneuf said. "The last game we did not give him much help, but tonight he was there when we needed him whenever there was a breakdown. He was there and it was a huge part of this win for our team."
What's more, the Leafs demonstrated character after a couple of ugly losses. No, Phil Kessel did not score and is at six games and counting without a goal, but overall, this was a crucial Leafs victory.
Consider that the Leafs didn't have forwards Joffrey Lupul (fractured arm) and Clarke MacArthur (finger) or defenceman Mike Komisarek (eye). Mike Brown joined the infirmary when he suffered an upper-body injury after fighting Mike Weber in the first period.
Coach Randy Carlyle had to do some line juggling, and Jay McClement paid it forward when he scored the first goal of the game for his first point as a Leaf.
Cody Franson has talked about using his blistering shot more, and there he was blasting a slapshot past Miller.
Franson's goal in the second period gave the Leafs a 3-2 lead, but there was no letdown when Sabres rookie Mikhail Grigorenko scored his first NHL goal to tie the game at 7:10 of the third.
Unlike losses against the New York Rangers and New York Islanders, the Leafs did not close up shop in the third.
"Our reaction was a lot more mature tonight," McClement said. "I think we have learned from the last couple of games, and we got right back to our game after they tied it up.
"The response is what we were looking for. We did not panic, we did not start whacking the puck around. We showed a lot of composure and it shows we are learning."
Was there perfection? Of course not. The Leafs were clueless when Andrej Sekera snuck in from the point and scored the Sabres' second goal, one that gave the home side a 2-1 lead after Jason Pominville responded to McClement's score. At other times, they were sloppy.
But Carlyle will have to allow himself a small smile when he reviews video of the game.
"You have to feel fortunate when you can get the extra point when you can score with under two seconds left in the game," Carlyle said. "It was a great individual effort by Matt Frattin.
"(Reimer) was solid when he needed to be. They are a team that likes to put a couple of bodies to the net and you have to fight through that, and he fought through and made some big stops for us."
Chances are good that Ryan Miller had a hard time falling asleep on Tuesday night.
Miller verbally was kicking himself after allowing the winning goal by Maple Leafs forward Matt Frattin with 1.5 seconds left in overtime.
Frattin beat the veteran Buffalo Sabres goalie, who usually owns the Leafs, on the short side for a 4-3 Leafs win.
"I let the guys down on that one," Miller said. "I just made a stupid decision. I didn't really take anything away there.
"I gave him room. He was coming off the angle with pressure, gave him too much room. Just made a poor choice."
The loss was the Sabres' fourth in a row.
