Burning Bright, There's a Guiding Light

Random Math Paper Accepted by Journal - as seen on slashdot.org I love this stuff:

De nition 3.2. Let ! be arbitrary. We say a Lobachevsky, semi-natural, simply von Neumann group 0 is invertible if it is universally a ne, partially empty and hyper-von Neumann. Proposition 3.3. Let us suppose we are given an Atiyah monoid 00. Then every everywhere normal, almost non-Riemann vector is regular. Proof. This is obvious.

5 The Connectedness of Combinatorially Tangential Moduli Recently, there has been much interest in the construction of algebras. It is essential to consider that T may be unconditionally Liouville.

Theorem 4.4. Let q @0 be arbitrary. Let O(P) 2 1. Then there exists a compactly parabolic subset. Proof. We proceed by trans nite induction. Of course, every quasi-Legendre{Sylvester, trivial random variable acting freely on a simply admissible hull is Einstein.

New York border with Rhode Island?

Was checking out the location of "Old Saybrook High School" in Connecticut today and found something strange on Google Maps.

By the way, Old Saybroook HS has an awesome submarine team that competed in the 2011 International Submarine Races.

The title of this post is about the border of New York though. If you have been around New England you may have noticed one funny thing about tourists' license plates: 20% of them come from Florida, 20% from New Jersey, and 50% from New York (10% from places unknown).

Now I always think of New York as a world away, even though it's about 200 miles from here. In fact, it's much, much closer than that. The entire state of Connecticut is actually bordered by New York, all the way to the coastal border of Rhode Island in fact! Very strange!

I had no idea that Block Island actually borders New York. So next time you get cut off in the parking lot of the local supermarket by an extremely rude/impatient New York tourist, you can cut them some slack a bit, because they really are our neighbors after all! They're not truly the infested plague vermin they make themselves out to be - rather just our unruly neighbors to the extreme southwest... who knew? Well, someday I really need to get the full history of the charting of Block Island and the Dutch settlements of New Amsterdam and New York. Adrian Block

The $2.5 Trillion Tragedy: What America Has Given Up For 10 Years Of Bush Tax Cuts | Common Dreams

The $2.5 Trillion Tragedy: What America Has Given Up For 10 Years Of Bush Tax Cuts | Common Dreams




Barrack Obama is being blamed for failure of his presidency left and right. He hasn't impressed me but the conservatives had 8 years to keep the ship afloat and instead our country is the lowest its been in my 30 year lifetime. This followed the highest of all modern cultures in the 1990s. We have to right the ship. We need accountability, leadership, and vision. And we need a country to stand up and get smart about their lives. We have more tools and more resources than ever before. I am guessing over 50% of the public has a smart phone or a computer access near them all the time now. It's on us now. No one has an excuse. We have to overcome the lies and the propaganda and move forward and make this nation strong again. George Bush said the war on terrorism isn't our war, it's civilization's war.

This is not, however, just America's fight. And what is at stake is not just America's freedom. This is the world's fight. This is civilization's fight. This is the fight of all who believe in progress and pluralism, tolerance and freedom.

We ask every nation to join us. We will ask, and we will need, the help of police forces, intelligence services, and banking systems around the world.

LINK TO SPEECH

If you believe that regarding the war on terrorism then it follows that the challenge of our success on a global scale as a leader in education, commerce, industry, and scientific exploration represents not just our one country's goal but the goal of all modern civilization. It's too important to ruin with politics. We simply must find a way forward and do the correct choice. What we have now is unacceptable and people are going to have to change. I see us moving backwards in the wake of Obama's presidency. Until we accept those mistakes made by the right-wing we will just keep repeating them and further decimate our position in the world.

50 states of fame - part 1of3

50 Celebs from 50 states - After wasting far too much of my brain and time on this slideshow, I decided to go after it and redo it with a little more integrity and depth.

I like the test so in my spare cycles I will try and get through all 50 states with a short description and head-shot of a person I think is worthy of representing their home state.

Alabama

Jim Nabors
If you don't know Gomer Pile then you don't know shit.

Alaska

Erik Ellington
Ellington rode for Emerica and was a key member of Piss Drunx, so he gets the nod here.

Arizona

Marty Robbins
Marty Robbins is a Nashville Hall of Fame musician, but he flat out wrote great songs. They were good enough for Grammy, and good enough for Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash to sing. Truly a renaissance man, he even drove NASCAR.

Arkansas

Rev. Al Green
Of all the great musicians, athletes, and former presidents from this great state, the reverend has to be acknowledged here.

California

Dustin Hoffman
If not the best actor, he's certainly played the best roles over his career, even though I Heart Huckabees was bullcrap.

Colorado

Jello Biafra
Give me convenience or give me death.

Connecticut

P. T. Barnum
The Greatest Show on Earth.

Delaware

Robert Crumb
Really there's no one very interesting from this state besides businessmen and politicians.

Florida

Bob Bob Bob
An order of Scoffers and Blasphemers, dedicated to Total Slack, delving into Mockery Science, Sadofuturistics, Megaphysics, Scatalography, Schizophreniatrics, Morealism, Sarcastrophy, Cynisacreligion, Apocolyptionomy, ESPectorationalism, Hypno-Pediatrics, Subliminalism, Satyriology, Disto-Utopianity, Sardonicology, Fascetiouism, Ridiculophagy, and Miscellatheistic Theology.

Georgia

André 3000
Strongly considered: MLK Jr., Hulk Hogan, Jimmy Carter, Otis Redding, and Gladys Knight, and the guy who started Waffle House.

Hawaii

Bu La'ia
Natural Law Party candidate for governor in 2002. This Maui native is a high-brow comedian with a message, "Our current health care system in Hawaii is nothing more than a disease care system."

Idaho

Doug Martsch
Built to Spill sings about Twin Falls Idaho.

civilization declined?

I must be getting old and turning into a pessimistic codger. Everything post-modern is becoming increasingly dreary to me. Perhaps these eyes are just finally losing the rosy tint and gaining access to the truth? Or perhaps I have weakened, allowing my resolve to crumble into forlorn despair. I see ever-encroaching signs of a decaying Western canon no matter where I look.

Let's see,

1. Worthless currency: Check
   
   
   
   
2. Private banks are Failed, Nationalized Check
   
   
   
3. Downturn more than a local trend? Computer science, the gem of modern technical advancement, is falling by the wayside in American high school, college, and industry. Check
   
   
   
4. Microsoft's Creative Destruction "Microsoft, America’s most famous and prosperous technology company, has become a clumsy, uncompetitive innovator."

5. Arts? THE BEST MOVIE EVER TRANSFORMERS!!!

6. Literature? Check
   
   
   
   
7. US Space Program Cancellations Age of Exploration… on hold… Check
   
   
   
8. Mindless, futile waring against other cultures? Check
   
   
   
   

9. "People cannot stand too much reality." – Carl Jung

   
   Too much Reality
   
   
   We use terms like "dystopian" as if it were counterbalance to some far-fetched Utopia, brought to you through glass screen.
   The Machine is Bleeding to Death
   
   
10. Paging through google searches of "abandoned city Detroit", I saw what I expected to see:
    
    
    Then finally I came across this:
    
    

long range deficits

what does it mean?

• Age 20-24 is indie cool but 25-29 much cooler otaku cos-players
  
• Age 30-34 is most average boring mormon man years.
  
• Age 35-44 is progressively cooler jazz humper
  
• Age 45 becomes happy smiling woman followed by ages 50+ Sarah Palin sexy years

Life is complex, but the vehicle of life remains constant, only changing its color.

Blood in the Machine

Blood in the Machine article by Tani Bellestri about the unbelievable consumerism death of a Walmart employee on Black Friday.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhopppppppppppppppppppppppppppp as as as as usual. And avoid panic buying.

Walmart Crime Report This has also been all around. If you haven't seen it yet check it out. The one in my city in Rhode Island has no data. I guess we have no crime? WRONG. Some scam artist(s) sieged our Walmart for several hours last year. The insane party threatened a bomb hostage situation. It certainly made the papers. Why didn't this make the crime report!? They made out with thousands of dollars stolen from Walmart. They closed the town for like 4 hours and we thought all hell was breaking loose.

now that's depressing!
