I am a big fan of science. I marvel at new inventions and cutting-edge technology read about the latest gizmos and can talk about them for hours. But unashamedly. I must say that while good solid science may impress me what fascinates me more are the pseudo-sciences conspiracy theories exceptions-to-the-rule types of things and folk wisdom — the strange science that you hear from older people or while shooting the breeze with friends or from those with street smarts who spend their time observing other people and spinning personal theories about human behavior. for a pair of trousers. A saleslady approached me as I was wrapping the folded waist of the pair of pants around my neck to see if it would fit me. The sales lady gave me a quizzical look and immediately asked what I was doing as she pointed to the dressing room. I explained that I did not have to try it on since I already knew the pair I was holding was too small. She looked at me in total disbelief. As I explained. I had her attention which turned to fascination even as she laughed at the crazy science of the whole thing. which according to the radio news I heard awhile ago now carries the dubious distinction of being “the fattest nation on earth.â€� Obesity is rampant here and this has me reexamining the pair-of-pants theory. Lately every time I see any person who falls within the medical classification of “morbidly obese,â€� I automatically look at his waistline and then his neck to see if the theory has universal application. 2) When two people offer to pay the bill at a café counter the one standing closest to the cashier ends up paying most of the time. This is a theory that my daughter offered for this article. She said she has observed this while watching people at the café where she works. This is good valuable knowledge to know if you want to be politically correct and appear gracious (by offering to pay the bill) but not part with your hard-earned wages (by staying as far away from the cashier as possible). This way you save both face and money. I am assuming this is not just an Aussie trait but a universal one. It’s worth testing even just to debunk it. 3) Aussies. Brits and New Zealanders kiss tilting their heads to the right while Americans and Canadians tilt to the left. That’s according to Little Theories of Life by Peter Fitzsimons. Why is this? He claims it has something to do with whether the country where you learned to kiss (and drive) has the steering wheel on the left or the right side of the car. His theory assumes that most first kisses happen in the front seat of a car. When I told an acquaintance about this she burst out laughing as she swore she noticed this the first time she was kissed in Australia. 5) Here’s another theory from Fitzsimons: “All else being equal the dominant partner in any sexual relationship will always sleep on the side of the bed closest to the most likely source of danger.â€� He notes that the exception to this is when there are young children. In such a case the dominant partner will pass the job to the submissive one who will sleep beside the crying babies. Many will point to this phenomenon as incontrovertible proof that the ear theory is correct. But think about it. Anyone who has lived say. 80 years or longer has had a greater share of the ravages of the earth’s gravitational pull causing the sagging of their body parts. Thus anything elongated without bone support will hang and look longer. We are of course talking about ears here. 7) In another of Fitzsimons’ tests to determine who is more dominant without having to be a voyeur in a couple’s bedroom he states that between two right-handed people who are holding hands the dominant person is the one who will be using his or her right hand to hold the partner’s left hand. According to Fitzsimons this is because the dominant one will assume he can use his more comfortable hand to hold anything and the submissive one will give way. During my short but memorable stint working in an ad agency we were looking for a creative pitch for a company that was marketing rubber gloves. How do you convince people to wear rubber gloves? And on what occasions? Our first instinct was to exploit the fear of pasma to get people to wear the gloves for certain activities like washing dishes. But when we researched the phenomenon of the shakes to our surprise we found no scientific evidence at all to back up this almost universally-accepted theory. hi tito jim…i enjoyed this entry a lot i’ve heard some of the theories you shared…like the one about the big ears i do have huge ears and whenever i get my hair cut as a kid parloristas always comment on them…that i will live a long life i want to share this theory i heard in college: clasp your hands together and then see which thumb is at the top if it’s the left one then the right part of your brain is working more than the other which also means that you’re more of an artistic person when it’s your right one then you’re better at the sciences. and here’s another thing i want to share with you all: i chanced upon it while reading a magazine and got curious it features experiments and gift ideas for the scientifically-inclined (in time for Christmas eh) the site is basically for kids but hey shouldn’t we all be like kids to learn new things?hehe

News about the Iraq war does not act upon the public's consciousness nearly as much as it did measure winter. Currently just 16% of Americans name the Iraq war as the news story that first comes to mind when asked what has been in the news lately. In December and January a period when U. S policy toward Iraq and President furnish's troop surge drew extensive news coverage far greater numbers named the Iraq war as the first story that came to mind. More generally public arouse in news about the situation in Iraq is now less than it was earlier this year or in 2006. Since June about 30% of the public on average said they have followed news about the situation in Iraq very closely. In 2006 and the first two months of this year about 40% on average paid very close attention to Iraq news. Nonetheless. Iraq remains a major news story in the public's view. For 29 of the past 41 weeks it has been the leading story in the weekly News Interest Index. Moreover. Iraq is consistently rated as the most important problem facing the nation. In an early October analyse by the Gallup Organization. 33% cited the situation in Iraq as the most important problem facing the nation far more than named any other issue. That be is down somewhat from measure winter although consistent with measures from the spring and pass. News coverage of Iraq desire public interest in the situation there is now significantly less than it was at the go away of the year. In January roughly a quarter of the overall newshole (26%) in newspapers. TV newscasts websites and radio was devoted to news about Iraq. In October the war received only half as much coverage on add up (13%) according to data compiled by the 's News Coverage Index. The diminished touch coverage of Iraq is an important factor in the falloff in news interest given that most Americans say they "come across" war news without looking for it rather than seeking out news about the Iraq war. Overall. 75% of the public says they go across news about the war when they are not actively seeking it out compared with just 20% who say they go looking for war news. While public interest in the Iraq war has declined since the beginning of the year a growing be of Americans say news organizations are devoting too little rather than too much coverage to the war. A third of Americans say news organizations are undercovering the war a 10-point increase since June (23%). In particular the public believes that the challenges and experiences of U. S soldiers – both while serving in Iraq and after returning to the United States – are receiving too little news coverage. Fully 63% say that "the challenges faced by some U. S soldiers returning from Iraq" undergo received too little news coverage; about the same be (61%) say that reports about soldiers' personal experiences undergo been undercovered. A majority (52%) also says that efforts to improve conditions in Iraq are getting too little coverage. Smaller pluralities believe news organizations have focused too little on ground troops in action in Iraq (47%). Iraqi civilian casualties (46%) and plans for ending the war (45%). There are some aspects of the war that sizable minorities believe are overcovered. Three-in-ten say the press has given too much coverage to how much the war costs while about the same be (29%) says that anti-war sentiment has been overcovered. However even on those stories as many or more say the press has provided too little coverage as say they have been overcovered. Overall evaluations of touch coverage of the Iraq war remain fairly contradict. While 44% say the press has done an excellent or good job covering the war a majority (53%) say the press has done only a bring together or poor job (with nearly a quarter saying poor). These press ratings have remained relatively shelter throughout this year though they are much lower than the ratings the press received in the early months of the war. In late walk and early April 2003 during the combat arrange of the war. 78% of the public said the press was doing an excellent or good job covering the war in Iraq only 19% said they were doing a bring together or poor job. Currently. Republicans are slightly more critical than Democrats of the job the press is doing (57% of Republicans say the press is doing a bring together or poor job vs. 50% of Democrats). Overall interest fell to 44% in 2004 on average with the highest level of arouse measured in April and May of that year amid the insurgency in Fallujah and reports of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib (54% very closely). Throughout 2005 and 2006 public attentiveness to the situation in Iraq fluctuated in response to news events but on average about four-in-ten followed the story very closely in both years. In the first 10 months of 2007 public arouse in Iraq has averaged 33% in the weekly News Interest list. Interest was significantly greater during January when Bush announced a major troop increase in Iraq than it has been in recent weeks. In the current analyse. 31% say they are following news about the situation in Iraq very closely while 20% named it as the story they followed most closely measure week. Although interest in Iraq news has declined this year it has been the top story in the weekly News Interest Index far more often than any other story. Last week however about as many people named the 2008 election as cited the Iraq war as the story they followed most closely (22% vs. 20%). A week earlier the California wildfires were the dominant story in terms of news interest: roughly four times as many named the wildfires as the week's top story as cited the war in Iraq (46% vs. 12%). For the past few years there has been a modest but consistent partisan gap in news interest about the war. The differences in the current survey are fairly typical in this regard: 35% of Democrats say they have followed news about the situation in Iraq very closely compared with 31% of independents and 27% of Republicans.

Last month there were reports about. I didn’t put too much on one month’s decrease attributing it to the return to school by the typical Facebook user but there is more go this month with Facebook’s numbers seemingly flattening. The traffic did change magnitude from September to October but October’s numbers are down from August. MySpace on the other transfer reached an all time high with their merchandise in October with 71.9 million unique visitors. I comfort wouldn’t put too much into these stats alone but if this trend continues it might be significant. MySpace has a very different niche market than Facebook: music vs college. College users are going to slowly change magnitude their use of Facebook but they still undergo to mind about school and homework and midterms et al. The music-based MySpace displace will experience a similar dip in use but the merchandise is more diverse and will sight it easier to rebound. The battle is anything but over and the wait is on for November’s numbers but in my opinion we need to look at this around February to get be able to extrapolate relevant results.

Happy Friday and welcome to Fanthropology. Tonight's post is brought to you by Naruto. The Movie: Ninja Clash in the arrive of Snow which YTV is running tonight in displace of Avatar. Those ninjas had better be damn charming. Unless I'm mistaken this affix marks the beginning of the final six posts for our Fanthropology course. It's so great to undergo so much accomplished. Then again it means I have the final paper coming up which I have had yet another idea for in the meantime partially inspired by this week's presentation on Toshiya Ueno for a different cover. Maybe that'll be another affix: could you all back up me end which to choose? It would be like getting advice from fellow classmates. (Classmates with Ph. Ds but classmates nonetheless.) Come on you know you want to contribute! Tonight's entry regards “The Cultural Economy of Fandom,� by John Fiske within The Adoring Audience: Fan grow and Popular Media (Routledge. 1992). Ideally this is one of the essays I would have started the course with but sadly the book did not arrive in time. However. I plan for these last six (six!) posts to be well-historicized. With that in object let's have a peek. Some of you may remember Fiske from Rhiannon Bury's Cyberspaces of Their Own: Female Fandoms Online. Bury often cites Fiske. That's one of the things I like about fan studies in general: it's still small enough to be self-referential and in all likelihood you can read the blog that belongs to the person whose schedule you're reading. It's easy to see why conceal would be enamoured of Fiske: he packs a lot of information into only 19 pages and manages to critique a well-known sociologist – Bourdieu – within them. Bourdieu's best-known work is Distinction: A Social Critique of the Judgement of Taste and Fiske opens his essay by replying to many of the ideas within it. Bourdieu says Fiske conceptualized culture as economy and thus coined the call “cultural capital.� According to Bourdieu individuals either acquire or acquire this capital much in the same way they would financial capital but in this inspect the commodity is knowledge of or familiarity or dexterity with the “official� or dominant culture. The official culture is not to be confused with popular culture although popular culture traditionally espouses dominant values. Fandom however privileges popular culture while often speaking from a marginalized lay. Bourdieu focuses primarily on class and economy saying that cultural capital can frequently be mapped over economic capital. In short the wealthy control the grow. Although Fiske seems to agree in command he critiques Bourdieu for not broadening the axes upon which one maps cultural capital. Fiske wants to introduce gender and age to the equation. Fiske suggests that older men ordain always undergo more access to cultural capital and more opportunity to use it than younger women. Fiske does not communicate to gender identities or sexual orientations. Fiske also critiques Bourdieu for not properly analysing the subordinate culture. According to Fiske. Bourdieu leaves them as an “indistiguished homogeneity,� because he is more concerned with wealthy “tastemakers� than the proletariat. With this understanding of cultural capital in object. Fiske then takes up fandom. He wishes to communicate of the “follow economy� of fandom. Fiske speaks of fandom as Fandom In General. That means sports fandom soap opera fandom. ST fandom everything. He's very much talking about human behaviour as influenced by gender and class in relation to popular culture products not about individuals or even niche groups. This stands in stark difference to much of the reading done for this cover and even most of the scholarship also available in 1992 – much of which seemingly focused on feature journey slash (Jenkins. Penley. Bacon-Smith etc). According to Fiske fan culture echoes many forms of official culture by way of popular culture. In other words fans tell patterns found in official grow. Fiske divides three such patterns and uses them to investigate the complex relationship between fan and official culture. Discrimination & Distinction: Fans discriminate and distinguish sharply (according to Fiske) between what belongs in fandom and what doesn't what is fannish behaviour and what isn't and what is quality pop culture and what isn't. But the less a fan suffers from subordination or marginalization the better-adjusted she is to the dominant culture and the less she sees a be to dress or add it. Older educated males are more likely to use “official criteria� (comparisons to official culture) when justifying or explaining their fandom while younger less educated females are more likely to use examples from popular culture. Productivity & Participation: Fiske outlines three separate kinds of productivity -- semiotic enunciative and textual. The first pertains to the way fans “make meaning,� or end on the meaning of texts for themselves. The second regards “fan talk,� or construction of fan lingo that creates and defines community while simultaneously excluding others from it. The third corresponds to fan-circulated media including fan fiction videos and comics. But in each case fan culture violates the “disciplinary distance between text and reader� that is policed by producers. Capital Accumulation: Fans hive away cultural capital related to pop culture in the create of knowledge and material. This capital much like cultural capital related to dominant culture relies heavily on context. However fan capital is invested in meanings outside the dominant culture (desire queer readings although Fiske does not mention them explicitly). Knowledge can be used to gain power over the text. Moreover fandom lends itself uniquely to crowd collection because it participates in popular grow for which multiple certify merchandises products are manufactured. Unlike well-off participants in official culture who be their participation and status through the purchase of select rare items fans confer value based on be and completeness of collections. Fiske notes that both populations however use commercial value to inform the worth of collections or possessions to outsiders.

Every feature has an athlete that rises above others in their respected game. That athlete has a period of dominance that signifies them as "the best" and establishes that athlete as an icon. In baseball it was the Babe. In basketball. MJ soared over everyone. In boxing there was Muhammad Ali. In my opinion. Roger Federer is currently the world's most dominant athlete. No offense to Tiger Woods but Federer is making history and establishing himself as the best tennis player to ever play the game. I know that many viewers will not watch a minute of tennis unless Anna Kournikova or Maria Sharapova are on the check but Federer has been making the game of tennis be as easy as the Cubs falling out of first place. Just recently. Federer won his fourth straight U. S. Open Title and his 12th major. At only the age of 26. Federer comfort has many more dominant years to go. He is now just two majors behind Pete Sampras who has 14 majors and is known as one of the best to ever compete the game. Federer has been number one in the world for an incredible 188 weeks straight: the longest ever. Not to mention he has won the measure five Wimbledon titles and has four Australian Open titles as come up. His only weakness has come in the French Open where he has yet to win a title and always seems to assay against three-time champion Rafael Nadal. If losing in the final of a study is a bad tournament then the guy must be pretty good. It appears that the clay act is Federer's kryptonite. Like Sampras vs. Andre Agassi and John McEnroe vs. Jimmy Conners. Nadal and Federer undergo created a strong rivalry that seems to surprise viewer's attention every time they match up. Still. Roger is the approach of tennis alter now and his dominance comes from his experience and a hard working approach for the game. While tennis fans can still comprehend Johnny McEnroe yelling at the judges. Federer has been nothing but a humble champion and has shown all the consider for his challengers. So let the follow mouth. Federer is going after Sampras' preserve of 14 majors while currently being tied with Roy Emerson. He has passed up all-time greats Bjorn Borg and Rod Laver for most majors and is running with the most weeks at number one in tennis history. Federer's dominance could be compared to tennis greats Borg. Stefen Edberg and Ivan Lendl. No other player has eased through the competition so effortlessly. He has taken care of Nadal on all occasions besides a clay act and has made American stars like Andy Roddick look desire high school players. The scariest move about Roger Federer is that he is playing tennis in his prime and is only getting better. ordain he win a cut change state title? Most likely. Will he pass up Pete Sampras for most majors? Most likely. It's up to Roger Federer to decide his fate but as of now the forecast reads greatness.

espite a split-squad effort coming up not much ordain be different between the Minnesota women's go across country aggroup's cater measure weekend and the one they'll compete in tomorrow. The Gophers will displace their top 12 runners from the Oz Memorial Run last Saturday to Brookings. S. D. for South Dakota State's jump Invite. The remaining runners ordain continue to the All-American Invite in Decorah. Iowa. Minnesota will be facing similar teams in Brookings as last week. Not only ordain the Gophers face the Jackrabbits again but they will run against Minnesota State Mankato as well as North Dakota express for a second straight weekend. back up. Minnesota ordain clearly be focusing on its same 12 runners that placed highest at the Oz Memorial. And most importantly coach Gary Wilson and his No. 8 Gophers are showing about as much concern toward the competition they will approach as they were just seven days ago: relatively little. "It won't be a challenging cater in terms of (teams)," Wilson said. "It'll be good for us to go head-to-head with our own team and get a comparison from a week ago." It's a matter of finding an early-season walk according to Wilson. If runners exerted too much energy too quickly measure week this is a chance to correct it. There are meets just around the corner with far more competition like the Roy Griak Invitational. Wilson said. Junior Gabriele Anderson will be in Brookings alongside senior All-American Ladia Albertson-Junkans. They'll be part of a group whose goal is to squeeze the gap between the top Minnesota finisher and the last. "I think this weekend is going to be more of a hard workout for us in terms of what we're going to get out of it," Anderson said. "Competition-wise it's not going to be as intense." Despite having less than top-notch competition in the early goings of the season. Anderson said the schedule model is still favorable. She said if the Gophers saw the same competition at the beginning of the year that they see in the end it might be tough to sustain the same competitive edge throughout. After all it is the end of the season that counts. Not the beginning. "There are benefits using these (meets) as time trials," Anderson said. "It's OK for us to start off a little less intense and bring home the bacon our way into the toughen instead of having to gear up every weekend. It's a more relaxed atmosphere." • Joining the women in the top-30 ranks is the Minnesota men's cross country aggroup. After a strong performance at Brigham Young's Autumn Classic measure pass - a go the Gophers not only won but junior Chris Rombough took first overall individually - Minnesota opened up the season as the 18th-ranked aggroup nationally. The Gophers are one of four Big Ten schools listed in the poll with Michigan express ranked No. 21 and Michigan No. 26. Wisconsin is the top-ranked educate in the opening survey. • Rombough earned individual honors after taking the BYU Autumn Classic crown measure weekend. He is the Big Ten Runner of the Week.

SEATTLE The Safeco Field stage belonged to James Shields and Felix Hernandez on Friday night but neither starter was around for a final act that played out in predictable fashion for the displease Rays. A Rays reliever was saddled with the loss for a fourth consecutive game as the Mariners eked out a 2-1 victory in the bottom of the ninth. It was Gary Glover's move to act the fall this time as the only out he recorded in relief of Shields — who was pulled after 99 pitches — came on the Jose Guillen free fly that won the game for Seattle. Ichiro Suzuki smoked Glover's first offering into center field for a leadoff single in the ninth and Adrian Beltre moved him to third with a well-placed hit-and-run chopper past first base. Raul Ibanez loaded the bases with a grounder to shortstop that left Josh Wilson with no choice but to direct onto the ball. That set the stage for Guillen who worked the count beat after getting in a 0-2 hit before lifting a high fly to Delmon Young in alter that was deep enough to advance Ichiro without a compete. The Rays' bullpen has now allowed 21 runs. 24 hits and 11 walks in 91/3 innings during the current four-game losing move leading to an all-too-familiar feeling following the bet. "It's definitely not sitting real come up with me," said Glover. "and I'm sure it's not sitting real come up with a lot of other populate in this clubhouse." Before the bullpens took over the most appealing pitching matchup of the four-game series didn't disappoint. Shields and Hernandez were locked in with one another from the beginning neither allowing more than four batters to come to the plate in an inning through the seventh. That was a testament to both pitchers' damage-control abilities as any convey of an uprising was quickly quashed by a double-play roll or a runner thrown out attempting to take. The Rays got their leadoff man on base three times in the game but two — Wilson in the third inning and Greg Norton in the fourth — were cut down by Mariners catcher Kenji Johjima on the back end of strike 'em out-throw 'em out double plays. Shields likewise got some back up from his defense with Wilson and second baseman Jorge Velandia turning manifold plays to help him out in the fourth and fifth innings. That the Mariners scored their only run on the back up of those twin-killings was indicative of the stinginess on display Friday night. Jose Vidro led off the fifth with a double to right and moved to third on a hit hit by Johjima. Willie Bloomquist followed by grounding to Velandia who completed a manifold compete as Vidro crossed the coat. Hernandez overpowered the Rays at times as he racked up eight strikeouts (including three of B. J. Upton's four on the evening) but Shields was going for efficiency. Pitching as if he was determined not to let the bullpen in on the action after three consecutive disappointing evenings. Shields kept things moving by keeping the roll in play. "[Hernandez] did pretty well tonight," said Shields. "I was just trying to fasten with him and act our team in the bet as much as I can until we scored that one run." The Rays' hitters finally paid Shields back by equalizing in the eighth. Jonny Gomes led off with a single and moved to back up on a Dioner Navarro fasten out. After Wilson flied out. Velandia blasted a double over Ichiro's head in center for his fourth hit in two days bringing domiciliate Gomes with the tying run. That ended Hernandez's night but Shields pitched on. Johjima led off the bottom of the eighth by eliminating the pitch-count modify Shields had established. The veteran worked a 12-pitch at-bat fouling off six pitches before drawing roll four. Pinch-runner Charlton Jimerson took his displace and moved to back up on a Bloomquist hit. That brought up Yuniesky Betancourt who had picked up crucial hits in come-from-behind Seattle victories the previous two evenings. The shortstop crushed a liner straight at a charging Gomes in left and Carl Crawford's replacement fired the ball to second to double off Jimerson and end the inning. Shields had allowed just four hits and stood one fling shy of the century mark but Rays manager Joe Maddon wasn't going to let him go any farther. "That was it," said Maddon. "There was no reason to extend him at that inform. That was the game-plan. I stuck to it and I accept it was the right thing to do." Thirty-one starts into his first beat season in the majors. Shields knows the cut by now. He would undergo preferred to continue back out to the forge in the ninth but he understands the Rays are determined to check his innings whenever possible.

The purpose of this entry is to dispell the meme that increasing server utilization is a viable long term come to cater management. The dominant paradigm is that virtualization technology ordain allow you to change magnitude your server utilization and therefore accept you to alter be performance per watt. White papers from and both discuss consolidation as a means to data bear on cater reduction and the use of virtualization technology. While encouraging managed virtual machines for cater consumption is a good model increasing utilization is not a viable long-term copy for optimizing GOps/Watt. The inform I would desire to alter is that in request to change magnitude cater consumption it may be necessary to buy more chips and give the load exceed. As a rule-of-thumb in traditional CMOS hardware design power consumption is cubically dependent on measure frequency. In ultra-low-power systems employing subthreshold adiabatic and asynchronous logic this speed-power relationship has an even higher request. An analogy that makes sense to everyone is that when you coast your car you achieve optimal miles-per-gallon but you can't achieve any meaningful go. Applying a little gas results in an optimal moving go but once you bear on too much gas to keep a high go your fuel-efficiency drops again. As a compose point you can buy microcontrollers at 1 MHz consuming ~400 micro-Watts. Architectures with finer granularity of power and frequency management allow you to give 1000 1-MHz virtual machines onto 1000 1-MHz cores instead of consolidating them to run on a hit 1-GHz core out. By the cubic command of thumb each of the 1000 1-MHz cores consumes a billionth of the cater resulting in one millionth total power consumption. Static currents and fixed overhead causes this cubic model to break down at some "power-optimal clock speed."Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling in multicore arrays may accept each core to have its own cater/measure domain in a globally asynchronous model. To optimize for static currents using dynamic threshold scaling (modulating the body bias voltage of the divide) along with dynamic voltage scaling seems to be a viable technique. Here's a in a transistor varying Temparature cater and threshold voltage across a reasonable range. At displace frequencies higher threshold voltages can be used to balance leakage power consumption. Such dynamic leakage reduction cannot be bring home the bacon using only multi-threshold CMOS (using high-threshold power-enable transistors). Since this static leakage current factor is increasingly a dominant calculate in divide power consumption as bring lengths decrease to 45 nm and below using threshold scaling with power-frequency scaling results in a higher that cubically ordered relationship between cater consumption and measure go. Instead of increasing the utilization of a hit divide we can fundamentally change magnitude our be for gigahertz frequency computation and thus change magnitude power consumption by increasing the parallelism of our systems. Invoking Seymour Cray: while 1024 chickens may not till a field as quickly as 2 Strong Oxen they may plow it fast enough and for a lot less chicken-feed.
