Science ‘The Proof of Innocence’: Read the Math Problem That Got One Man Out of a Traffic Ticket
Posted on April 16, 2012 at 11:04am by Liz Klimas
*** begin quote ***
University of California-San Diego physicist Dmitri Krioukov was pulled over and issued a ticket for running a stop sign. While many wouldn’t go through the hassle of actually fighting this ticket in court, Krioukov is an exception — and he came prepared. io9 reports that he presented a mathematical paper to prove his innocence, aptly named “The Proof of Innocence,” and convinced the judge of his case.
*** end quote ***
Yea!
Defeat the man.
Now can all the people who paid a ticket for the same thing get their money back?
Yeah, right!
Like that’s ever going to happen.
Sigh!

FROM FACEBOOK:
*** begin quote ***
Hillary Rosen, please stop talking. Attacking a candidates spouse because she stayed home with her family is wrong. Mrs. Romney seems like a good person regardless of her husbands lack of inability to articulate his true position on any policy issue.
*** end quote ***
SO OF COURSE I HAVE TO CHIME IN:
*** begin quote ***
”Liberal” “Feminists” are nether tolerant, not champions of all women. All we have to do is look to Africa and Asia and see what happens when you don’t value half the population for what they do every day.
I’m not a Romney fan, but anyone, who gives that much to charity, gets a lot of slack. (Personally, Joe Biden’s $381 for a self-proclaimed Catholic just sends me into orbit.) By their works, you shall know them.
*** end quote ***
AND I GET BACK:
*** begin quote ***
I agree. They both seem like nice people, good parents and seem to be happy. I may disagree with them politically but as people I respect them and I certainly admire his business acumen. As for Biden, The idea that the Church gets any of his money saddens me. there has to be a better charity to give to then one who practices misogyny and whose titular head lives in the dark ages. Of course that is just IMHO.
*** end quote ***
SO I CONCLUDE WITH:
*** begin quote ***
Hmmm, “Dark Ages”, isn’t that “harsh”. For all the good works that Holy Mother Church does. As far as “misogyny”, I’m just a fat old white guy injineer and don’t do good with them big wurds. When I criticize, I try to remember: “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”. In Biden’s case, even Jesus got lost his kool and physical with the money changers. When you put yourself forward as an exemplar, you’re fair game for critique. I, otoh <on the other hand> — that was my de-jargon-izer kicking in automagically — don’t pretend to exemplify anything. Except I’m proud of my humility. There’s so much I have to be humble about.

How about the current “war on men” with the “feminization of education” that puts boys down. The natural physical activities boys prefer and must have are deemed to be disruptive or “bad”. Good girls sit still and raise their hands; bad boys get bored and distracted by all the sitting around and the Yak in Box model. Girls get scholarships; boys get discipline and expelled. Argh!

*** begin quote ***
Not so sure about the “better pay” argument. Statisticians have pointed out that, adjusting for the decision to have children, the score isn’t as clear as the liberals would like you to believe.
And, there is an economic competition argument against that to be made. It goes like this. In a head to head competition of “evil corporation #1” and “good corporation #2”, where all things are equal EXCEPT evil keeps its women down whereas good maximizes them, the good corp does better than bad by virtue of it’s better “exploitation” of it’s female human resource. During bad eventually out of business.
You can sub in any single condition, labor, youth, environment, that you want and good always beats evil. In this mental experiment.
Life is not so clear because life ain’t a lab.
Where gals do “fail” is in math-ey stuff, because of the education system. A case can be made that BOTH girls and boys are hindered by the Gooferment education system. It left to the reader to show why “one size fits all” yack in the box education fails everyone? Hint: why do we have different sizes of everything?
Lol. See what happens when fat old white injineers can’t sleep. Long boring lectures! 12:29am

Occam’s razor
*** begin quote ***
Occam’s razor (also written as Ockham’s razor, Latin lex parsimoniae) is the law of parsimony, economy or succinctness. It is a principle urging one to select among competing hypotheses that which makes the fewest assumptions and thereby offers the simplest explanation of the effect.
*** end quote ***
Or, as I like to say it, “KISS — Keep it simple, stupid!”.
I took some trash yday for being too erudite (That’s, for the intellectually challenged or those eddykated in a Gooferment Skrule, using de big wurds.) and making a joke at the expense of poor old Ockham and his razor or a German knife.
Tuff!
Grow up.
Stretch your paradigms and memes.
(Pair of dimes is how you perceive stuff. Your eyes can deceive you. Look in Johari’s box.)
(Meme, like genes for ideas. How you think about thinking. SOP’s for life. An idea that can spread from human mind to human mind. Like a fad, rumor, or (mis)understanding. Think MegaBall Jackpot craze, “pet rock”, religious beliefs, and concepts like “money”. Memes can be handy shorthand, like the United States Government, Alma Mater, political party, or the “Tea Party”. They can be false like “Social Security is insurance”, “Laws protect me”, or even that there is such a thing as “government”. They can be unprovable “God Exists”. Or obvious, “Law of Gravity”.)
I refuse to accept that using the correct word, even if it’s big, uncommon, or strange, is being pedantic, obtuse, or show offy.
So, get a dictionary, use Wikipedia, or get lost!
:-)
The fat old white guy injineer is in his alter ego “Grumpy”.

Here’s some spam from Evy’s High School chum that imho is worth forwarding with suitable editorial comment.
*** begin quote ***
———- Forwarded message ———-
From: Karen
Date: Thu, Apr 12, 2012 at 11:33 PM
Subject: Where to Put # 44
Where to put president #44
Where, oh where — to put Obama’s picture.
George Washington, our nation’s first president and leader of the American Revolution!
Abe Lincoln, honorable leader who pulled our nation through its darkest time!
Alexander Hamilton, founding father, first Secretary of the Treasury and leader of the constitutional convention! >>>>>>>>
Andrew Jack son, “Old Hickory ” fought the British in New Orleans!
Ulysses Grant, Union army general, led the North through the Civil War!
Ben Franklin, genius inventor, political theorist and leading author of the Constitution.
Finally, we have someone to put on the food stamp!!!
Obama’s policies have put more people on welfare than any president before him, so this placement is most appropriate.
Unlike the Nobel Peace Prize, for which he did nothing, this is an “honor” he richly deserves.
*** end quote ***
I agree with Washington, by far, with some pimples, imhothe BEST president. At least in his first term; later on, not so much.
I’m OK with Grant; a good ordinary joe.
Ditto Jackson; anybody who shoots the guy who insults his wife is OK in my book.
Franklin should have been a prez since anyone who likes turkeys is OK with me.
Lincoln is my worst!
Hamilton, if he had been Prez, would be in my third tier(i.e., worse-est, worse-er, and just plain worse). No doubt the folks at the FED like this since AH wanted a Federal Reserve cabal back in his time. It took Wilson to sell us out to the Big Banks. And sneakily put us in WW1 and on the road to empire.
It’s funny to put BHO44 on the food stamp, but that honor should belong to FDR. He put the nation on the dole, perminently put us on the road to Socialism and hell, all while corruptly sneakaly and with malice aforethought putting us in WW2.
imho

Mario Junior, my FACETIME buddy, — he FACETIMEs me after work and chats about his day while his parent are shocked to find us chatting — went shopping for his Communion suit. Thrilling.
But!
Mom was planning a blue suit, white shirt, and BROWN shoes.
Both the male salesman and I convinced Mom that black shoes with laces was required.
She conceded.
Amazing!
A fat old white guy injineer giving fashion advice!
The world is going to end!
The Mayans were wrong; the world will end tomorrow. The Universe’s problem has been solved. The Karmic wheel has been stopped. Occam’s razor went dull.
Injineers have finally evolved to the final stage of Nirvanah.
Dispensing fashion advice!

Business T. Boone Pickens: ‘We’re The Only Country in The World Without an Energy Policy’
Posted on April 12, 2012 at 9:40pm by Becket Adams
*** begin quote ***
While appearing on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” oil tycoon T. Boone Pickens dished on everything from energy policy, to natural gas, to “green” jobs. But it was when “Morning Joe” guest Mike Barnicle asked Pickens what he would do differently to boost the economy via the energy industry, the oilman had some depressing news.
“If I was president, I’d get an energy policy for America. We’re the only country in the world without an energy policy and you use 25 percent of the oil. We’re insane,” Pickens said. “And we have resources in America that we could have an energy policy.”
But what about energy independence?
*** end quote ***
Every President campaigns on it! It gives them somethign to talk about. They don’t have ANY plan to od anything. But it’s great to talk about it!
Argh!
So why bother.
It’s a strategic area. If we drilled in ANWAR, a bunch of Arabs who have a lot less wealth to make trouble for us.
Argh!

Wanted to add a new checking account to PAYTRUST.
(PAYTRUST is a “recommended” pay-for service. Not cheap and very “risky”, but very valuable. But not without its warts, odors, and frustrations. Not the least of which is “support” tends to be “pig headed”. But if you’re persistent, you can break thru.)
So first you have to enter all the data. THEN, they tell you that you have to send a copy of your DL and a void check.
(1) WART: NJ’s DL is tough to copy. It’s pink lettering on a rose color background. I can barely read it. Had to play with the Office Jet’s settings to get something. I think it’s readable, wi’ll see what PAYTRUST thinks.
(2) ODOR: PAYTRUST should describe ALL the steps in getting a new account working.
(3) FRUSTRATING: Other than normal operations, “every thing else” seems like a pain in the <synonym for donkey>?

LEGACY, the obituary site, has new level of “service”.
Before, Guest books disappeared unless sponsored. Now there appears to be a third alternative — probably a deal struck with the funeral homes for free advertising — the guest book remains readable, but not updateable. Big win for LEGACY. Puts a LOT of pressure on folks to eternalize.
Hmmm?
All in all I think it is progress.

I r an fat old white guy injineer. Did anyone else find the equation “fascinating” and “written wrong”? Subliminal message? Or a statement about “teachers”? P.S. IMHO teachers ARE “underpaid” because they are “on the dole”, currently “wards” of the Gooferment, inextricably tied to it, and are also slaves to their “union” who’s “in bed” with the Democratic Party “machine”. Not that anyone asked.

How to Change Your Life
Arends: New research suggests the key to breaking a bad habit lies in identifying both its cue — and its reward.
By BRETT ARENDS
*** begin quote ***
The bottom line: We’re running on autopilot most of the time, and we don’t really know it. We are controlled to a remarkable degree by our habits, not just by our conscious choices.
“A habit is a choice that we deliberately make at some point, and then stop thinking about, but continue doing, often every day,” he writes.
Even people in crisis can use this knowledge to turn their lives around.
We can’t unlearn bad habits. The way to defeat them is to learn new, better ones.
*** and ***
1. Find the bad habit.
2. Find the reward.
First, experiment: Try out different alternative habits to see if you feel the same reward.
Second, after each experiment, try isolating by writing down the first three things that come to mind “emotions, random thoughts, reflections on how you’re feeling, or just the first three words that pop into your head.”
Third, after doing that, he waited for fifteen minutes. He set an alarm. When it went off, he asked himself: Do you still feel the urge … ?
3. Find the cue.
Where am I? What time is it? What’s my emotional state? Who else is around? And what action immediately preceded the urge?
*** end quote ***

When Walter Cronkite admitted that he had an agenda, the house of propaganda became obvious. My Mom never knew it. We were such fools in those days.

Appeals court fires back at Obama’s comments on health care case
By Jan Crawford
Topics Supreme Court
Updated 6:55 p.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
(CBS News) In the escalating battle between the administration and the judiciary, a federal appeals court apparently is calling the president’s bluff — ordering the Justice Department to answer by Thursday whether the Obama Administration believes that the courts have the right to strike down a federal law, according to a lawyer who was in the courtroom.
The order, by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, appears to be in direct response to the president’s comments yesterday about the Supreme Court’s review of the health care law. Mr. Obama all but threw down the gauntlet with the justices, saying he was “confident” the Court would not “take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.”
Overturning a law of course would not be unprecedented — since the Supreme Court since 1803 has asserted the power to strike down laws it interprets as unconstitutional. The three-judge appellate court appears to be asking the administration to admit that basic premise — despite the president’s remarks that implied the contrary. The panel ordered the Justice Department to submit a three-page, single-spaced letter by noon Thursday addressing whether the Executive Branch believes courts have such power, the lawyer said.

I think this is an epic struggle for the American Experiment.

(0) OBVIOUSLY use unique passwords in every instance. (Use LASTPASS, ROBOFORM, or KEYPASS to remember the UNIMPORTANT ones. Do you care if someone can “share” your PORN stash. (Like I’d EVER have porn. You can catch a case of the computer equivalent of a social disease — malware, virus, or data leak. I think the real kind MIGHT be easier to cure.)
(1) Never STORE financial passwords anywhere, but in your head. (And, in a sealed envelope, located in your bank safe deposit box, for your executor.) Never ever! (If you have more than 5 ± 2, you have too many accounts.) Sorry guys, I don’t even trust my most TRUSTED vendors. (Fact of life. Don’t trust. You won’t be disappointed.)
(2) If you do STORE a profile somewhere, ALWAYS use your real birthday ± 1. (It’ll be our little joke. Play along with all the FACEBOOK birthday wishes. Your real life fans will enjoy the joke. You DO have real life friends; don’t you? So sad if you don’t. You can link to me. I have very few — hi oldest, older, and just plain old!)
(3) If you do STORE — obviously not USE — a credit card number, ALWAYS do a typo with the “secret number” and add ± 1 to the last digit. (Then when someone has a security breech, they have your garbage.)
(4) If you do STORE an address for your self, put a typo somewhere so you know who to blame. (Personally I like middle name. “Hi, I’m F. 37 REINKE.”)
(5) If you can and it’s not needed for credit, add ± 1 to your SSN. (“Oh, sorry, I made an oopsie.”)
(6) ALWAYS mess with the secondary authentication questions. But do it in a consistent manner! (“Where were you born?” “Bayonne158” That’s Our Girl’s and her favorite number.) Caveat: Three sites — CAREMARK CVS, PAYTRUST, BOA — make you remember it from time to time. (If I forget, there is always “call one 800 outsourced service desk”. Reset them to colors. Then go in and immediately change them.) I always record my answers in LASTPASS ± 1. A great tool.

Watch Sharks’ Clowe break up an odd-man rush from the bench (VIDEO)
By Harrison Mooney | Puck Daddy – 18 hours ago
*** begin quote ***
The San Jose Sharks and Los Angeles Kings may have clinched a playoff spot well before Thursday’s game ended, but they certainly didn’t play like it. It was a hard-fought battle right to the final horn and then some, with the Sharks narrowly edging their divisional rivals 6-5 in a shootout.
But don’t let the high score fool you into thinking there weren’t any big defensive plays. Why, Ryane Clowe’s pokecheck on Jarrett
Stoll with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd period stands out, and not just because it broke up a very threatening-looking 3-on-2 rush and potentially saved a game-winning goal. It was also the fact that Clowe was on the bench at the time.

If that’s so, America won’t be winning anythinv any time soon.
We should be outraged!

I Love My Guns
by Susan Callaway
*** begin quote ***
To start with, about 30 years ago I was attacked and would likely have died if I had not been armed.
At that point the man started to walk toward me, in a few words telling me just how he would hurt me. I raised the shotgun, but he just sneered and said confidently, “you won’t shoot me” and kept coming.
He was still too close to my car, so I aimed the .410 shotgun just over his head and pulled the trigger.
I saw the shocked look, just before I saw the blood on his face and chest where the tiny #6 birdshot had hit him. He turned and ran away, destroying a low ornamental fence in the process, but never even slowing to untangle it from his legs.
How would the world be better and more peaceful if I had been raped and murdered instead, simply because I had no gun?
*** end quote ***
“Victim disarmament is the view that it is somehow better to see a woman raped in an alley and strangled with her own pantyhose, than see her with a gun in her hand.” — T.D. Melrose
I think this summarizes the argument quite nicely. As someone said: “God made man and woman; Sam Colt made them equal.”
“An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” — Robert A. Heinlein

Pulling Out of Afghanistan NOW
Posted by James Wilson
*** begin quote ***
Quote of the Day: “In my opinion, any future defense secretary who advises the president to again send a big American land army into Asia or into the Middle East or Africa should ‘have his head examined,’ as General MacArthur so delicately put it.” – Robert M. Gates
2012 has been bad for the U.S. occupation in Afghanistan. That’s why I wrote to my Representative and Senators telling them to pull the troops out.
The hard-wired message reads…
Remove our troops from Afghanistan now.
*** end quote ***
What more does one have to say?
This is one reason I support Ron Paul.
We can add Korea, Japan, Germany, Iraq, … <insert all the other countries that we have troops in> … and Iran.
Oh yeah, we haven’t invaded there … YET … officially. (What do you bet we have scouts out? I would if I was the General who’s gonna get stuck with this duty.)

I’ve been playing with FACETIME at the behest of a youngster related to me. Other than LUDDITE, no one I know uses it.
It presents some interesting challenges for parents and guardians.
It opens up a whole new attack surface for predators and peers. While it gives the FACETIME User the undivided attention of the person they call, it does create: (1) an uncontrolled access to the two people FACETIMEing. (2) Creates a level of intimacy that could be used to break down barriers and physical inhibitions when the two people meet. (I’m being intentionally vague so as not to give any one ideas. Adults, parent, and Guardians will know EXACTLY what I mean. (If you don’t, ask.)
Its marginally better than a cell phone because, as far as know, there’s no built-in capture or forwarding. I can think of ways to do it. Hopefully peers won’t; predators will be rigged for it.
Adults, Parents, and Guardians better have a good understanding of the technology and its implications. The children can mae it work with little or no help.

Joe Scarborough Admits: ‘Glenn Beck Has Been Right’ About Gold
Posted on March 30, 2012 at 3:49pm by Becket Adams
*** begin quote ***
Today on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Matthew Bishop, the US Business Editor and New York Bureau Chief for The Economist, talked about his new ebook “In Gold We Trust? The Future of Money in an Age of Uncertainty.”
Co-written with Michael Green, Bishop’s ebook discusses some awfully familiar themes: the instability of fiat currencies, the skyrocketing price of gold, and the future of the global economy.
“If you got volatile markets, why do you run to gold?” MSNBC host Joe Scarborough asked Bishop.
“This is a very interesting time because…the people who have been the most successful investors over the past few years, a lot of them basically are very worried about the future of the dollar, very worried about the future of the euro, and they see gold as the best alternative currency,” Bishop answered.
“And they’ve been right a lot,” Bishop added. “They have a lot of their money in that currency and I think the rest of need to understand why. It’s always dismissed as this kind of crazy rightwing thing to do,” Bishop added.

ROFL!
Bout time that someone, anyone, in the mainstream media acknowledges the economic reality.

Business Feds Uncover Massive Fraud, IRS Scammed out of Billions
Posted on April 2, 2012 at 8:05pm by Becket Adams
*** begin quote ***
Federal authorities have uncovered a widespread scheme that may have defrauded the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) out of billions of dollars using the stolen identities of Puerto Rican citizens, according to a recent report from the Wall Street Journal.
“The perpetrators of the scheme, authorities say, swipe the Social Security numbers of Puerto Rican citizens, who don’t have to pay federal income tax—and are less likely to be on the IRS radar—and use their information to file fake returns,” the report adds. ”In some cases, they enlist U.S. mail carriers to intercept the refund checks that are disbursed [emphasis added].”
Dating back to 2007, the plan involves participants from both the U.S. and Latin America. Two sources claim the scheme was led by a group from the Dominican Republic. And although prosecutors have managed to obtain several convictions, they don’t think they’ve come close to catching the operations “top players.”

Can’t believe that the IRS was scammed?
One out of three medicare dollars spent in FL is fraudulent.
Once the Gooferment gets involved fraud, corruption, and losses are assured.

POLITICAL: The battle between the administration and the judiciary

Appeals court fires back at Obama’s comments on health care case
By Jan Crawford
Topics Supreme Court
Updated 6:55 p.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
(CBS News) In the escalating battle between the administration and the judiciary, a federal appeals court apparently is calling the president’s bluff — ordering the Justice Department to answer by Thursday whether the Obama Administration believes that the courts have the right to strike down a federal law, according to a lawyer who was in the courtroom.
The order, by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit, appears to be in direct response to the president’s comments yesterday about the Supreme Court’s review of the health care law. Mr. Obama all but threw down the gauntlet with the justices, saying he was “confident” the Court would not “take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress.”
Overturning a law of course would not be unprecedented — since the Supreme Court since 1803 has asserted the power to strike down laws it interprets as unconstitutional. The three-judge appellate court appears to be asking the administration to admit that basic premise — despite the president’s remarks that implied the contrary. The panel ordered the Justice Department to submit a three-page, single-spaced letter by noon Thursday addressing whether the Executive Branch believes courts have such power, the lawyer said.

I think this is an epic struggle for the American Experiment.
