<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>Conway&#8217;s Game of Life ist eine 1970 entwickelte Simulation eines zellulären Automaten. Auf einer zweidimensionalen Fläche leben Zellen (Pixel) vor sich hin, deren Fort- oder Ableben durch vier Regeln bestimmt wird. Jede Zelle hat acht Nachbarzellen.</p>
<p>1. Tod durch Isolation: Hat eine Zelle weniger als zwei lebende Nachbarzellen, stirbt sie in der nächsten Generation an Einsamkeit.</p>
<p>2. Tod durch Überbevölkerung: Jede Zelle mit vier oder mehr lebenden Nachbarn stirbt in folge von Überpopulation.</p>
<p>3. Neugeburt einer Zelle: Jede tote Zelle (leeres Feld) mit genau drei lebenden Nachbarn wird in der nächsten Generation wiedergeboren.</p>
<p>4. Überleben einer Zelle: Jede Zelle mit zwei lebenden Nachbarn überlebt in die nächste Generation.</p>
<p>Simulieren will ich das ganze mit einem 1024 x 768 Pixel großen Feld und der Programmiersprache C++ in der <a href="http://netzwelten.wordpress.com/2009/11/21/openframeworks/">openFrameworks-Umgebung</a>. Zuerst brauchen wir drei Variablen, die das Feld darstellen. Eine für das aktuelle Feld, eine für das Feld der nächsten Generation und eine temporäre Variable, die für Kopierzwecke benötigt wird. Alle drei Felder sind zweidimensional:</p>
<pre class="brush: cpp;">

const int width = 1024;
const int height = 768;
int gitter[width][height], gitter_next[width][height], gitter_temp[width][height];
</pre>
<p>Als nächstes soll das Basisfeld generiert werden. Das mache ich in der setup() Funktion. Die Gesamtanzahl aller Pixel ist 1024 mal 768. Für die Anfangsbevölkerung soll ca. jedes dritte Feld auf 1 (= lebende Zelle) gesetzt werden. Dann wird das Feld durchlaufen und alle auf 1 gesetzten Felder werden gezeichnet. Das mache ich mit ofCircle(x,y,1), da ich das mit dem Pixelsetzen in openFrameworks noch nicht ganz durchschaut habe. ofCircle(x,y,1) setzt also einen Kreis auf die Postion (x,y) mit Radius 1 (= 1 Pixel).</p>
<pre class="brush: cpp;">

void testApp::setup(){

    float dichte = 0.3 * width * height;

    for (int i = 0; i &#60; dichte; i++)
    {
        gitter[int(rand() % width)][int(rand() % height)] = 1;
    }

    ofBackground(255,255,255);

    for (int x = 0; x &#60; width; x++)
    {
        for (int y = 0; y &#60; height; y++)
        {
            if (gitter[x][y] == 1) {
                ofSetColor(0,0,0);
                ofCircle(x,y,1);
            }
        }
    }
}
</pre>
<p>Jetzt zur draw() Funktion, die in einer Endlosschleife läuft. Zuerst sollen für jede Zelle alle lebenden Nachbarn ermittelt werden. Dazu schreibe ich eine kleine Funktion:</p>
<pre class="brush: cpp;">

int zaehle_nachbarn(int x, int y)
{
    int nachbarn = 0;

    if(gitter[x-1][y+1] == 1)
    {
        nachbarn++;
    }
    if(gitter[x-1][y] == 1)
    {
        nachbarn++;
    }
    if(gitter[x+1][y] == 1)
    {
        nachbarn++;
    }
    if(gitter[x+1][y+1] == 1)
    {
        nachbarn++;
    }
    if(gitter[x+1][y-1] == 1)
    {
        nachbarn++;
    }
    if(gitter[x-1][y-1] == 1)
    {
        nachbarn++;
    }
    if(gitter[x][y+1] == 1)
    {
        nachbarn++;
    }
    if(gitter[x][y-1] == 1)
    {
        nachbarn++;
    }
    return nachbarn;
}
</pre>
<p>Zurückgegeben wird die Anzahl der lebenden Nachbarn. Nun die Hauptengine der Simulation, die draw() Funktion:</p>
<pre class="brush: cpp;">

void testApp::draw(){

    for (int x = 0; x &#60; width; x++)
    {
        for (int y = 0; y &#60; height; y++)
        {
            int nachbarn = zaehle_nachbarn(x, y);

            if ((gitter[x][y] == 1) &#38;&#38; (nachbarn &#60; 2))
            {
                gitter_next[x][y] = 0; // Tod durch Isolation
                ofSetColor(0,0,0);
                ofCircle(x,y,1);
            }
            else if ((gitter[x][y] == 1) &#38;&#38; (nachbarn &#62; 3))
            {
                gitter_next[x][y] = 0; // Tod durch Überbevölkerung
                ofSetColor(0,0,0);
                ofCircle(x,y,1);
            }
            else if ((gitter[x][y] == 0) &#38;&#38; (nachbarn == 3))
            {
                gitter_next[x][y] = 1; // Drei Nachbarn = Zelle wird geboren
                ofSetColor(255,255,255);
                ofCircle(x,y,1);
            }
            else
            {
                gitter_next[x][y] = gitter[x][y]; // Überlebt
            }
        }
    }

    for (int x = 0; x &#60; width; x++)
    {
        for (int y = 0; y &#60; height; y++)
        {
            gitter_temp[x][y] = gitter[x][y];
            gitter[x][y] = gitter_next[x][y];
            gitter_next[x][y] = gitter_temp[x][y];
        }
    }

}
</pre>
<p>Für jede Zelle werden die lebenden Nachbarn ermittelt. Dann werden die Regeln angewendet. Zum Schluss wird das aktuelle Feld (gitter) in die temporäre Variable kopiert, das aktuelle Feld mit dem zukünftigen Feld besetzt und das Zukünftige Feld wird das aktuelle Feld.</p>
<p>Fertig!</p>
<p>Das Video zeigt einige Sekunden aus dem Leben der Zellen:</p>

<description><![CDATA[Theist Timothy Conway Referenced Atheist Basava Premanand PhD Timothy Conway said the following abou]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Theist Timothy Conway Referenced Atheist Basava Premanand</span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/timothy_conway/">PhD Timothy Conway</a> said the following about <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/Premanand/b-premanand-deception.html">Basava Premanand</a> (an Atheist, Rationalist and Skeptic who published the <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/Premanand/indian-skeptic-sceptic.html">Indian Skeptic</a> tabloid):</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Timothy Conway:</strong> “Though I disagree strongly with his atheist philosophy and rationalist-skeptic approach, the Indian former SSB devotee (1968-74) turned India’s most notorious ‘guru-buster,’ Basava Premanand, a decades-long critic of Sathya Sai in his periodical Indian Skeptic, also deserves acknowledgment here as one taking a firm and enduring stand for accountability and justice, not just in the case of SSB but with other problematic figures as well. (On the case against SSB, see Premanand’s bulky books, including Murders in Sai Baba’s Bed Room, 2004, and, most recently, Failed Sabotage by SSB through Gerald Moreno, 2007, etc., published by the author at 11/7, Chettipalayam Rd., Podanur 641 023, Tamil Nadu, India)”</p></blockquote>
<p>First and foremost, Basava Premanand was <strong>never</strong> a Sai Devotee as erroneously alleged by PhD Timothy Conway. <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/Murders/caps-bp-claims.html" target="_blank">Click Here</a> to view screen captures to <em>SaiPetition.net</em>, Robert Priddy’s <em>Ex-Office Bearers Page</em> and the BBC text to the <em>Secret Swami Documentary</em>. Basava Premanand <span style="text-decoration:underline;">personally</span> made a submission to <em>SaiPetition.net</em> (which was subsequently replicated on Robert Priddy’s <em>Ex-Office Bearers Page</em>) stating that he was a follower of Sathya Sai Baba from 1968 to 1974 and was the <em>“best worker in the SSB Org., Podanur”</em>. However, in the <em>Secret Swami Documentary</em>, Basava Premanand claimed he was <span style="text-decoration:underline;">never</span> a follower of Sathya Sai Baba and had been trying to <span style="text-decoration:underline;">investigate</span> the Guru since 1968 itself. Premanand joined the Sai Organization in an attempt to infiltrate it and expose Sai Baba.</p>
<p>In both the <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/guru-busters-documentary-gurubusters.html">GuruBusters Documentary</a> and the <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/Murders/premanand-active.htm" target="_blank"><em>The Independent</em> Article</a> Premanand was said to have been exposing Gurus for nearly 50 years (since the age of 21-22). This means that in 1968 (at the age of 38, or 16 years <span style="text-decoration:underline;">after</span> he was a rationalist) Premanand was <span style="text-decoration:underline;">not</span> a follower of Sathya Sai Baba when he joined the Sai Organization in Podanur. Premanand <strong>lied</strong> about being a Sai Devotee (just as he <strong>lied</strong> about Moreno being sexually abused by Sai Baba, <strong>lied</strong> about an anonymous letter being written by a Sai Student, among numerous other blatant untruths).</p>
<p>One will also notice how the moralist PhD Timothy Conway cited Premanand’s book against Moreno on his <em>“biggest and best website on spirituality”</em>. Don’t expect Timothy Conway to divulge the <strong>fact</strong> that Basava Premanand shamelessly <strong>libeled</strong> Moreno in that book and that it contains <strong>numerous</strong> unsubstantiated defamations mostly from <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/A-Priddy/robert-priddy-deception.html">Robert Priddy</a> (with citations to <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/brian_steel.html">Brian Steel</a>, <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/A-Larsson/larsson-deception.html">Conny Larsson</a>, <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/A-Dadlani/dadlani-deception.html">Sanjay Dadlani</a> and <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/M_Alan_Kazlev/">Alan Kazlev</a>). Moreno discussed this issue in his article entitled <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/Premanand/senile-or-liar.html">Is Basava Premanand Senile, Confused, A Liar Or All Of The Above?</a> and on his <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/Premanand/indian-skeptic-sceptic.html">Indian Skeptic Page</a>.</p>
<p>This is the type of <strong>sleaze</strong>, <strong>slime</strong> and <strong>defamatory</strong> material that PhD Timothy Conway cites against his detractors. PhD Timothy Conway is a <strong>pseudo-moralist</strong> and <strong>pseudo-spiritualist</strong> who must reference sleaze, slime and defamatory material because there is absolutely <strong>no</strong> verifiable, credible or legal information to support <span style="text-decoration:underline;">any</span> of the criminal allegations made against Sathya Sai Baba. The fact that <strong>no one</strong> <span style="text-decoration:underline;">has even tried</span> to file a basic police complaint or court case against Sathya Sai Baba in India is proof enough that the allegations against Baba lack substance and credibility. Neither Sathya Sai Baba nor the Sai Organization have <span style="text-decoration:underline;">ever</span> been charged with <span style="text-decoration:underline;">any</span> crime, sexual or otherwise (Refs: <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/failed-supreme-court-cases-writ-petitions.html">01</a> &#8211; <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/alleged-victims-not-credible-limitation-act-expired.html">02</a>).</p>
<p>The burden of proof is on those making the allegations against Sathya Sai Baba. Those making the allegations (including Timothy Conway) have <strong>miserably failed</strong> to make <span style="text-decoration:underline;">any</span> leeway against Sathya Sai Baba in a court of law in India despite their loud protests and cry-baby whining to the contrary.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Timothy Conway’s reference to Basava Premanand has amusing repercussions against <span style="text-decoration:underline;">him</span>, <span style="text-decoration:underline;">his</span> beliefs and <span style="text-decoration:underline;">his</span> advocacy of Gurus, Enlightened Masters, Mystics, Hinduism and Eastern Philosophies because Basava Premanand believes that people who believe in these things are <strong>Guru promoters</strong>, <strong>blind believers</strong>, <strong>brainwashed devotees</strong>, <strong>cult advocates</strong> and <strong>superstitionists</strong> with weak intellects!</p>
<p>This is even more the case when considering that PhD Timothy Conway is a <strong>gullible</strong> true believer in Gurus <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Women_of_Power_and_Grace_testimonials.html" target="_blank">[3]</a></span>, Mystics <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Women_of_Power_and_Grace_testimonials.html" target="_blank">[3]</a></span>, Enlightened Masters <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Women_of_Power_and_Grace_testimonials.html" target="_blank">[3]</a></span>, psychics <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Postmortem_survival_of_the_soul.html" target="_blank">[1]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Remote_Viewing.html" target="_blank">[4]</a></span>, levitation <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Miracles.html" target="_blank">[5]</a></span>, bi-location <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Miracles.html" target="_blank">[5]</a></span>, miracles <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Miracles.html" target="_blank">[5]</a></span>, remote-viewing <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Remote_Viewing.html" target="_blank">[4]</a></span>, elementals, meditation <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/meditation_trends_and_styles.html" target="_blank">[6]</a></span>, paranormal powers <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Miracles.html" target="_blank">[5]</a></span>, aliens <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Remote_Viewing.html" target="_blank">[4]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Artist-Alien-Dena-Blatt/dp/1432712853/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1196797341&#38;sr=1-1" target="_blank">[10]</a></span>, rebirth <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Postmortem_survival_of_the_soul.html" target="_blank">[1]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Reincarnation.html" target="_blank">[7]</a></span>, reincarnation <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Postmortem_survival_of_the_soul.html" target="_blank">[1]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Reincarnation.html" target="_blank">[7]</a></span>, karma <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:Wt6VH_3yoa0J:www.enlightened-spirituality.org/support-files/6karmas.pdf+site:enlightened-spirituality.org&#38;hl=en&#38;ct=clnk&#38;cd=90&#38;gl=us" target="_blank">[8]</a></span>, oracles <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, I-Ching <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, sensitives <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Postmortem_survival_of_the_soul.html" target="_blank">[1]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, channelers <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Postmortem_survival_of_the_soul.html" target="_blank">[1]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, astrology <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, astrologists <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, palm-reading <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, non-duality <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&#38;lr=&#38;safe=off&#38;as_qdr=all&#38;q=+%22nonduality%22+site%3Aenlightened-spirituality.org" target="_blank">[9]</a></span>, etc. (the list goes on and on).</p>
<p>Timothy Conway also attempted to argue that <span style="text-decoration:underline;">if</span> Sai Baba possesses paranormal powers, he could easily <em>“warp spacetime”</em> by creating an <em>“insular interdimensional environment”</em> where he could engage in abuse without easy detection. That’s right, Timothy Conway believes that it is possible that Sai Baba molested alleged victims on another dimension, which is why it is so difficult for them to prove their allegations and why there is an abysmal lack of witnesses supporting their claims (<a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/timothy_conway/email-correspondence-timothy-conway.html#timothy_conway_email_10">Ref: Conway Email No. 10</a>).</p>
<p>Attempting to sling mud at Sathya Sai Baba and his detractors, Timothy Conway ended up slinging mud on <strong>himself</strong>, <strong>his</strong> Gurus, <strong>his</strong> belief system and on innumerable religious and spiritual adherents whose beliefs were ridiculed and criticized by atheist Basava Premanand.</p>
<p>These are the types of three-ring circus clowns who are trying to <em>&#8220;expose&#8221;</em> Sathya Sai Baba.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><strong>Inglês, atualmente na Indy, já testou com a extinta Honda em 2008</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O inglês Mike Conway voltará a pilotar um carro de F-1 no próximo mês, quando integrará a equipe Mercedes GP, antiga Brawn, nos testes em Jerez de La Frontera.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">O atual competidor da Indy foi piloto de testes da extinta Honda em 2007/08, e deve testar pelo time de Ross Brawn de 1 a 3 de dezembro, dias que serão dedicados a pilotos sem experiência a categoria.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Apesar de a equipe alemã não ter confirmado sua participação nos testes, a revista inglesa &#8220;Autosport&#8221; apurou que seu nome está na lista de inscritos publicada pelo circuito espanhol. Além disso, o agente do piloto confirmou que ele viajará nos próximos dias para Jerez.</p>
<p style="text-align:justify;">Marcus Ericsson, campeão da F-3 japonesa, também está na lista de pilotos que testarão pela Mercedes.</p>

<p><a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/timothy_conway/">PhD Timothy Conway</a> (a critic of <a href="http://www.sathyasai.org/">Sathya Sai Baba</a> who <strong>thoroughly</strong> eulogizes, promotes and worships <a href="http://www.ammachi.org/" target="_blank">Mata Amritanandamayi Devi</a> as a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">bona-fide</span> Guru) cited <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/guruphiliac-jody-radzik/">Guruphiliac Jody Radzik</a> on his <em>enlightened-spirituality.org</em> website as a <strong>notable</strong> person who endorsed him. Timothy Conway duplicated the following comments onto his website from Jody Radzik’s blogged article entitled <em>“Conway’s Way Is No Con”</em>:<br />
<div id="attachment_575" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 160px"><a href="http://geraldjoemoreno.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/timothy-conway-jody-radzik-guruphiliac.gif"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-575" title="Timothy Conway Solicited The Integrity Of Guruphiliac Webmaster On His Official Domain" src="http://geraldjoemoreno.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/timothy-conway-jody-radzik-guruphiliac.gif?w=150" alt="Timothy Conway Solicited The Integrity Of Guruphiliac Webmaster On His Official Domain" width="150" height="64" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Timothy Conway Solicited The Integrity Of Guruphiliac Webmaster On His Official Domain</p></div></p>
<blockquote><p>“Timothy [has] got a slew of good stuff up at his Enlightened-Spirituality.org, including a nice little bit about the importance of critical thinking, the precious water and commodity that’s sorely lacking in the infernal desert of ignorance known as New Age spirituality in the West&#8230;. It’s good to see someone out there upholding the legacies of Shankara and Vivekananda, especially in these days of enlightenment pyramid scams and lame-brained channelling schemes designed to separate the psychologically needy from their dollars in exchange for a boatload of false hope and occluding nonsense about the truth of the Self. So give Enlightened-Spirituality.org a go when you’ve got a minute and the desire to cleanse your palate of all the superstitious nonsense that chokes the truth right out of spiritual culture in these times. &#8211;Jody, creator of the popular and controversial Guruphiliac blog at guruphiliac.blogspot.com.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Timothy Conway <strong>promotes</strong> Jody Radzik (a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">known</span> basher and trasher of Ammachi &#8211; Mata Amritanandamayi Ma) on his <em>“spiritual”</em> website. Jody Radzik’s critiques on Ammachi <a href="http://www.google.com/custom?domains=guruphiliac.blogspot.com&#38;q=ammachi&#38;sitesearch=guruphiliac.blogspot.com&#38;client=pub-5003566892527367&#38;forid=1&#38;ie=ISO-8859-1&#38;oe=ISO-8859-1&#38;cof=GALT%3A%23669922%3BGL%3A1%3BDIV%3A%23669922%3BVLC%3A663399%3BAH%3Acenter%3BBGC%3AFFFFFF%3BLBGC%3A669922%3BALC%3AD05D2A%3BLC%3AD05D2A%3BT%3A000000%3BGFNT%3AD05D2A%3BGIMP%3AD05D2A%3BLH%3A50%3BLW%3A238%3BL%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fatman.net%2Fguruphiliac%2Fgpstrap.gif%3BS%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2F%3BFORID%3A1&#38;hl=en" target="_blank">can be found here</a>. As a matter of fact, Jody Radzik accused Ammachi (Mata Amritanandamayi Ma) of being:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>“Greedy”</em></li>
<li>Money-hungry (or as Jody puts it, a <em>“money-grubber”</em>)</li>
<li>A <em>“Hindu Nazi”</em></li>
<li>The <em>“Al Qaeda Of India”</em></li>
<li>Creator of <em>“Goonsgate”</em></li>
<li>The <em>“Mistress Of The Hindu Right”</em></li>
<li>A <em>“foaming-at-the-mouth radical nationalist”</em></li>
<li>Being allied with <em>“people and goals of the radical, racist, Hindu nationalist right”</em></li>
<li>Somehow involved with <em>“murders”</em> of <em>“mysterious circumstances”</em> at her ashram</li>
<li>Enmeshed in an <em>“Amma ‘Sex Scandal’”</em></li>
<li>Involved in a <em>“Mind-Control TV Network”</em> through <em>Amma TV</em></li>
<li>Involved with <em>“global domination”</em></li>
<li>Manipulative and weakening devotees minds with her <em>“astral breast milk”</em></li>
<li>A rip off who <em>“offer mammaries full of occluding nonsense to a world rife with infantilism”</em></li>
<li>The slurs go on and on&#8230;</li>
</ul>
<p>As a matter of fact, Guruphiliac Jody Radzik made the following composite image of Amma (see how it is used on his blog <a href="http://guruphiliac.blogspot.com/2007/10/ammachi-new-delhi-al-qaeda-of-india.html" target="_blank">here</a>), merging her face with Osama Bin Laden (the image links directy to Radzik’s <a href="http://atman.net/" target="_blank">atman.net</a> website: <a href="http://atman.net/guruphiliac/ammabinladen.jpg" target="_blank">Ref</a>):<br />

<p>This is the type of <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">hate</span></strong> that Timothy Conway promotes on his <em>“biggest and best site on spirituality”</em>. Poor Timothy Conway. His research into the notable people he cites on <span style="text-decoration:underline;">his</span> behalf is as thorough as his lamentable research into the Sai Controversy. Attempting to bolster his illustrious reputation (sarcasm implied) Timothy Conway cited <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/guruphiliac-jody-radzik/">Jody Radzik</a> (a promoter of raves and <strong>illegal</strong> psychedelic drugs) on his behalf. Not only does Jody Radzik bash Ammachi, he also bashes and lies about other Gurus as well. Timothy Conway promotes a man who claims he is self-realized, needs <em>“to be stoned ALL the time”</em>, is Kali Ma’s <em>“sex slave”</em> and hears the voice of Kali Ma in his head. Nice friend you got there, Timothy.</p>
<p>This information is going to be <strong>very disconcerting</strong> to all the Amma devotees who can often be seen citing the following quote from Timothy Conway describing Ammachi as:</p>
<blockquote><p>“one of the most glorious lights to appear in the history of religion. Just her stamina &#8211; embracing these millions of people one by one, day after day, without a break, all over the world-is some kind of divine gift. No mere human resources could accomplish this.”</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>November 27th 2007 Update:</strong> Timothy Conway contacted Gerald Joe Moreno by email and informed him that although he hesitantly posted Jody’s blurbs on his official website, he was <span style="text-decoration:underline;">fully aware</span> of Jody’s attacks against Amma and her devotees. Timothy Conway <span style="text-decoration:underline;">defended</span> Jody Radzik and said he is <em>“actually very positive about her (Amma) in many contexts, and has defended her to many of his readers”</em>. <strong>Rubbish!</strong> Timothy said he was unaware of Jody’s <em>“Amma Bin Laden”</em> photo (how did that escape a PhD researcher?) and removed Guruphiliac Jody Radzik’s comments from his website. Good call and nice damage-control, Timothy. Interested readers can view Timothy Conway&#8217;s comment (expressing gratitude to Jody Radzik on his Guruphiliac blog) <a href="http://guruphiliac.blogspot.com/2007/09/conways-way-is-no-con.html" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><span style="color:#CC0000;">SaiBabaControversy And PhD Timothy Conway</span></strong></p>
<p><strong>Timothy Conway Recants:</strong><br />
In our previous page on <a href="http://geraldjoemoreno.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/gerald-joe-moreno-responds-to-phd-timothy-conway-about-the-jack-hawley-letter/">Jack Hawley</a>&#8217;s critics, we had reported comments Tim Conway had made about deceased devotees. Our comments are below:</p>
<p>Timothy Conway has made some unsustainable assertions in his circular letter. He refers to longtime devotees who are now dead, whom, he asserts, left Baba over this sexual impropriety. </p>
<p>Here are the quotes:</p>
<p><strong>What Conway said:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;On this point, we should remember the numerous longtime Sai devotees like Professors Gokak and Bhagavathum and others who have left Sathya Sai, ostensibly over the inappropriate sexual activity by Baba.</p>
<p>These longtime close observers obviously perceived a different meaning for Baba&#8217;s behavior than the meaning Hawley attributes to this behavior. Hawley thinks Sai&#8217;s behavior is evidence of the Divine. Gokak, Bhagavathum, and others apparently thought otherwise.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>The Sai Critic commented:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Timothy Conway is speaking ill of the dead here. He also forgoes any remaining credibility claiming that these well known names in the Sai Haiography abandoned Sai over these matters. Gokak was Vice Chancellor and lived and died a devotee. Where is the evidence for this scurrillous assertion against a dead man? What evidence, what authorities does he cite for Gokak, Bhagavathum and others? None are offered. The &#8216;and others&#8217; is a tell-tale give away, it is just a device to throw some speculation in.</p>
<p>Bhagavathum did indeed renounce Swami, but not as a fake, rather Bhagavathum renounced Swami as one who is simply impossible to live with. Witnesses and reputable authorities cite Bhagavathum left primarily because Swami did not give the attention to Bhagavathum&#8217;s son which the doctor demanded.</p>
<p>Whatever the reason, it is known Bhagavathum left Swami in a huff, and later manifested Alzheimers, a disease which wasted him unto death. There is no evidence cited by Conway or any others that Dr Bhagavathum left Baba over sexual misdemeanour or any other activity. We confidently challenge Timothy Conway to evidence his unsalutary assertions about these two deceased men of good repute and character.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>What Conway has retracted:</strong></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;First, I especially thank you for clarifying that Gokak died a devotee of Swami and that Bhagavantam left Baba for reasons other than any sexual improprieties by Baba. Along this line, I want to directly issue to you and to any other readers a MAJOR APOLOGY and a RETRACTION for passing along, not just second hand hearsay, but third-hand rumor of the most insubstantial and false variety.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Bravo, Bravo! We salute Timothy Conway. We applaud this first public recant from hearsay, gossip and misreporting in this sorry business of <em>&#8220;The Findings&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Tim Conway Defends:</strong><br />
After his recant, Conway is adamant that there are outraged persons who have departed Sathya Sai Baba. Conway goes on to describe those ex-devotees and assorted supporters of The Findings:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;These charges are simply the cry of anguished devotees attempting to protect young men and boys from behavior that can have a deeply traumatic effect upon their sensitive psyches.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>The accusations we hear are certainly not <em>&#8220;the cry of anguished devotees attempting to protect young men&#8221;</em>. The loathsome noise we hear is the commotion of the tittle-tattle, the <em>&#8220;isn&#8217;t-it-awful gossips&#8221;</em>, the rumor mongers and the hysterical naysayers who peddle the apocryphal story of Sai and a seven year old boy, for example; a story that has NEVER BEEN VERIFIED by its alleged source. A most fetid and controversial claim that is still peddled as fact. This and most of the other material circulating is NOT the <em>&#8220;cry of the anguished devotees&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>These comprise the malignant, repetitive chants of the rumour mill (whom Conway will later label as the <em>&#8220;Nasty Naysayers&#8221;</em>) designed to shock, horrify and alienate existing devotees. Let Conway investigate the length and breadth of the activities of some of his companions against DEVOTEES; not against Sai Baba, but against devotees. It is part of a well prepared mail-bombing campaign against devotees. <em>&#8220;Anguished cry&#8230;&#8221;</em> &#8230; who has Conway been listening to &#8211; both sides? It would appear not. Where is the Conway critique of this campaign against devotees? Has all the response tactics and strategy been truthfully revealed to Conway? Is it really the cry of the anguished devotee or an appeal to a vague non-entity as Conway has been steered away from certain facts?</p>
<p><strong>Tim Conway, Chapter and Verse</strong><br />
Timothy Conway presents the Law in the United States of America:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;please remember that, in our law-based society (and Baba has always advocated that citizens abide by their nation&#8217;s laws), the sexual harassment and molestation of minors (and, yes, adults) is a prosecutable, criminal offense.&#8221; Conway goes on to speak of &#8220;<strong>the MANDATED REPORTING RULE, which imposes a LEGAL DUTY on any adult with knowledge that sexual molestation of minors is likely occurring TO REPORT SUCH BEHAVIOR and TRY TO PREVENT SUCH BEHAVIOR FROM RE-OCCURRING</strong>&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Invitation to Prosecute:</strong><br />
Mr Conway, along with all anguished devotees attempting to protect young men, are all hereby invited to the Court of the Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Penukonda, Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India, to lay charges against Sathya Sai Baba. This appears to be the appropriate court of Law. Laying of Charges in other countries is not likely to have any effect. The matter more rightly belongs in the Penukonda Magistrates Court.</p>
<p><strong>Mighty Matters of Faith and Belief:</strong><br />
Conway articulates his doubts of faith and belief:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;At this point in time, I cannot agree that Baba is the &#8216;Purna Avatar, pure and simple.&#8217; Anyone who tries to rationalize Baba&#8217;s behavior by appealing to his Divinity and the corollary that &#8216;God [Baba] can do whatever he wants&#8217; has not sufficiently proven that Baba is, in fact, the pure expression of Divinity incarnate on this planet. It may be that the formless God or Absolute Spirit (the Infinite Atman/Brahman) is communicating something through the name/form of Sathya Sai and thus has intended that tens of millions of people connect with his mission, at least temporarily until they move beyond the form of Sathya Sai (and has not Baba himself often called for people not to get attached to his form?)&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>For a person who freely admits he has been <em>&#8220;out of the loop&#8221;</em> and not active as a devotee of Sai Baba since he has commenced to actively follow another satguru, Mr Conway presents an unsettled frame of mind. Is he still loyal to Sai Baba? Either he says the formless absolute is engaging in revelation and a mission via the name and form of Sai, or he is not making such an admission. He appears to be presenting both sides of the coin and not settling conclusively for one opinion or the other. Conway presents uncertanty and is not clear himself where he stands.</p>
<p>Certainly he is good at throwing in red herrings:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;But let me remind you&#8211;I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re aware&#8211;that great Mahatmas of the last 150 years like Ramakrishna, Ramana Maharshi, Anandamayi Ma, Mata Amritanandamayi, Anasuya Devi, Devaraha Baba, Shyama Mataji, Bhagavan Nityananda have NEVER needed to sexually molest their followers to &#8216;test&#8217; them.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Conway meanders on with his red herring of the other gurus:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Rather, to take just one example, consider the case of the beautiful Ramana Maharshi. Dozens of reliable accounts indicate that Ramana could awaken people to the completely bodiless, ego-free, infinite, transcendental state of pure Spirit (Atman/Brahman), absolute Being-Awareness-Bliss-Love, SIMPLY BY GAZING AT THEM SILENTLY with his amazingly loving, liberating, Grace-filled look.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Far from being a devotee who has thrown away his darshan cushion, Conway hangs onto doubt and expresses it often:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;It has to be demonstrated that Sathya Sai&#8217;s sexual predatory behavior &#8212; apparently involving hundreds, maybe even more than a thousand young men and boys &#8212; is &#8216;restoring Dharma&#8217;.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>A little further on, Conway writes:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;(Some nasty naysayers want to say that Baba is actually nothing more than an evil force on the planet, a master of occult powers who masquerades, like the legendary Lucifer, as a being of light and goodness. I don&#8217;t accept this analysis of &#8216;Baba -as-consummate-evil&#8217;.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Conway wants it both ways. He wants the jury to be out, still deciding, and he wants to distance himself from the Some nasty nay-sayers. He has certainly failed to do that, as he has taken up their cause. In email, chat rooms and on the Internet, CAPITALS represent YELLING. Here is Mr Conway again:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;the MANDATED REPORTING RULE, which imposes a LEGAL DUTY on any adult with knowledge that sexual molestation of minors is likely occurring TO REPORT SUCH BEHAVIOR and TRY TO PREVENT SUCH BEHAVIOR FROM RE-OCCURRING&#8230;&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>So Timothy Conway, is yelling out for all to hear where he stands. Beside the <em>&#8220;nasty nay sayers&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p><strong>Invitation to Prosecute:</strong><br />
Mr Conway, along with all anguished devotees attempting to protect young men, are all hereby invited to the Court of the Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Penukonda, Anantapur District, Andhra Pradesh, India, to lay charges against Sathya Sai Baba. This appears to be the appropriate court of Law. Laying of Charges in other countries is not likely to have any effect.</p>
<p>The matter more rightly belongs in the Penukonda Magistrates Court. Not in any court in the United States of America. Do proceed with haste, with all anguised persons, nay sayers, gossipers and the like. ESPECIALLY do take <em>&#8220;young men from around the world who have come forward to describe their victimization by this man masquerading as God&#8221;</em>, do instigate and demand investigation, demand the laying of charges, demand the prosecution, with ALL HASTE.</p>
<p>Conway perseveres with admonition:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The bottom line is that, REGARDLESS of who/what Baba is, we, as mature, responsible aspirants endeavoring to live the values of Satya, Dharma, Shanti, Prema and Ahimsa have A SERIOUS ETHICAL DUTY to rise up and speak out against the longstanding pattern of sexual molestation.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Hello?</p>
<ul>
<li>Are you there Mr Conway?</li>
<li>Cease acting as a middle man.</li>
<li>Assist those who report complaints with Sai Baba.</li>
<li>Provide tickets.</li>
<li>Get them on a plane.</li>
<li>Fly with them to Bangalore or Hyderabad.</li>
<li>Assist with travel to Penukonda, to the Magistrates Court.</li>
<li>Fulfill your SERIOUS ETHICAL DUTY and lay your charges.</li>
<li>Assist these traumatised others to lay charges in the proper courts.</li>
</ul>
<p>Then you will have salvaged your conscience and fulfilled your serious ethical duty. We remind you that Sai Baba is not afraid. After all, he has said, <em>&#8220;Why be afraid of the mistake you have not committed?&#8221;</em></p>

<em> A summary of some <strong>your</strong> ideas on mathematical diseases </em><br />
<font color="”#000000?"></p>
<p><img src="http://rjlipton.wordpress.com/files/2009/11/images2.jpeg" alt="images" title="images" width="100" height="100" class="alignright size-full wp-image-3845" /></p>
<p>
John Conway is a world renowned mathematician, who defies a simple description. He has worked on countless games, puzzles, and easy to state, but often hard&#8212;if not impossible&#8212;to solve problems. These range from his classic game of <i>Life</i>, to his work on <i>Surreal</i> numbers; from his work on polyhedra, to his special notation for huge numbers. At the same time he has made deep contributions to many, if not most areas, of modern mathematics: from group theory, to number theory; from algebra, to geometric theory. There is only <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Horton_Conway">one</a> John Horton Conway.</p>
<p>
Today I want to talk about some of the mathematical diseases that were raised by those who were kind enough to comment on my previous <a href="http://rjlipton.wordpress.com/2009/11/04/on-mathematical-diseases/">discussion</a>.<br />
<!--more--></p>
<p>
The response was so strong that I thought I would collect some of your comments in one place. I hope that this either helps someone to make progress on one of these diseases or to help spread them to others.</p>
<p>
Conway was the source many of the popular MD&#8217;s, which is probably not too surprising given his wide range of results, that includes many unusual problems. </p>
<p>
He once gave the keynote address at SODA. This conference, the Symposium on Discrete Algorithms, is theoretical, but a bit more down to earth than FOCS, for example. Conway&#8217;s presentation was a strange and wonderful one&#8212;at many levels. The main part of the talk was an impressive demonstration of his <i>Doomsday algorithm</i>. This algorithm allows one to calculate the day of the week from any date by a &#8220;simple&#8221; rule&#8212;Conway himself can do this in realtime. Thus,
<p align="center"><img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%5Cdisplaystyle++10+%5Ctext%7B+Nov%2C+%7D+2009+%5Crightarrow+%5Ctext%7B+Tuesday%7D.%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='\displaystyle  10 \text{ Nov, } 2009 \rightarrow \text{ Tuesday}.&amp;fg=000000' title='\displaystyle  10 \text{ Nov, } 2009 \rightarrow \text{ Tuesday}.&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /></p>
<p> The funniest part of his demonstration was that people would ask dates and get back days of the week, but for many of them we had no idea if Conway was really correct or not. Oh well.</p>
<p>
Personally, of his many theorems, his <i>15-Theorem</i> is one of the neatest: </p>
<blockquote><p><b>Theorem: </b> <em> If a positive definite integral quadratic form represents all positive integers up to 15, then it represents all positive integers. </em></p></blockquote>
<p> Conway proved this with William Schneeberger in 1993: see this for a <a href="http://www.fen.bilkent.edu.tr/~franz/mat/15.pdf">overview</a> of the result. Forget how one proves such a theorem, my question is more basic: where do you get the intuition that such a theorem might even be true?</p>
<p>
Let&#8217;s turn now to the previous comments, with some extra annotation, here and there.</p>
<p>
<p><b> Some Mathematical Diseases (MD) </b></p>
<p><p>
<img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B+%5Cbullet+%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{ \bullet }&amp;fg=000000' title='{ \bullet }&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> <b>Conway&#8217;s Thrackle Conjecture:</b> Joseph O&#8217;Rourke suggests this one: which he says <i>&#8220; bites me about once every two years<img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Cdots%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{\dots}&amp;fg=000000' title='{\dots}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' />&#8221; </i></p>
<p>
I did not know this conjecture. See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_thrackle_conjecture">this</a> for a description of this amazing simple sounding problem. László Lovász has worked on the problem so this disease can affect even one of the best mathematicians in the world. </p>
<p>
<img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B+%5Cbullet+%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{ \bullet }&amp;fg=000000' title='{ \bullet }&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> <b>Conway&#8217;s Game of Life:</b> John Sidles suggest this one and, adds <i>&#8220;What a great subject!&#8221;</i> He says,  <i>To lead off, a wholly benign, utterly useless, and wonderfully enjoyable MD is the study of self-replicating structures in Conway&#8217;s Game of Life. The accomplishments of the Life community over the last 39 years are so amazing, that all one can say is <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Cdots%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{\dots}&amp;fg=000000' title='{\dots}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> Golly! </i> </p>
<p>
The Game of Life is played on an infinite grid of squares. It is not really a game, it is a zero player game, one starts off by providing the <i>seed</i> &#8212; by marking some finite set of squares in the grid. Then the game is entirely deterministic, at each time instance, it evolves using 4 simple rules. Conway&#8217;s original question was : Is there a seed which can grow indefinitely? For the answer to this, and a beautiful exposition on the game itself, please see the this <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_Game_of_Life">article</a> on the game.</p>
<p>

He says, <i>&#8220;This `seemingly&#8217; toy problem has much to offer as shown by its resistance to attempts at solving it.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>
I was introduced to this famous problem, while I was a graduate student, by Albert Meyer. I tried to show that the mapping had no cycles by a modular argument. It failed. Somehow the problem never has appealed to me again. Definitely, a simple to state, but very hard problem.</p>
<p>
<img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B+%5Cbullet+%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{ \bullet }&amp;fg=000000' title='{ \bullet }&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> <b>Palindromic Number Conjecture:</b> Ted Carroll suggests this one. He says, <i>&#8220;I suck non-mathematicians in with that one all the time&#8212;especially computer people because there&#8217;s a proof that the conjecture holds for binary.&#8221;</i> </p>
<p>
Start with a number and reverse it, then add the two together. Repeat until a palindrome is reached. Does this always happen? See <a href="http://members.cox.net/mathmistakes/palindromes.htm">this</a> for an example and more: </p>

The book titled, &#8220;Uncle Petros and Goldbach&#8217;s Conjecture&#8221; by Apostolos Doxiadis is well written and fun. I would definitely recommend it to you. See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldbach_conjecture">this</a> for other examples of Goldbach&#8217;s Conjecture appearing in popular culture. </p>
<p>
The best known results about the Goldbach Conjecture are: </p>
<ol>
<li> Every sufficiently large odd number is the sum of three primes. This result is due to Matveevich Vinogradov.
<li> Every sufficiently large even number is the sum of a prime and the product of at most two primes. This <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chen&#37;27s_theorem">result</a> is due to Chen Jingrun. He proved it during the &#8220;culture revolution&#8221; in 1966, and at first the western mathematicians did not believe that he had achieved this great result. He had.

Cahit explains,  <i>Let me give short explanation why GTC is a mathematical disease. Alexander Rosa has <a href="http://www.math.ilstu.edu/cve/speakers/Rosa-CVE-Talk.pdf">identified</a> essentially three reasons why a graph fails to be graceful: (1) <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7BG%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{G}&amp;fg=000000' title='{G}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> has &#8220;too many vertices and not enough edges,&#8221; (2) <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7BG%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{G}&amp;fg=000000' title='{G}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> &#8220;has too many edges,&#8221; and (3) <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7BG%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{G}&amp;fg=000000' title='{G}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> &#8220;has the wrong parity.&#8221; If for any graceful tree an arbitrary vertex can be assigned the label 0 (rotatable tree) then the proof of the GTC would be piece of cake. Unfortunately not all trees are rotatable. Similarly if all trees are alpha-valuable (a kind of balanced labeling stronger than graceful (beta-valuable) labeling) then the proof of GTC follows easily. What remains is an algorithmic proof attempt based on the induction on the diameter <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=d+%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='d &amp;fg=000000' title='d &amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> (the length of the longest path in a tree) of a tree. Unfortunately most of the trees with diameter greater than <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B4%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{4}&amp;fg=000000' title='{4}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> have no alpha-labeling. In the past I have attempted twice (once in 1975, settled a class of symmetric trees and again 1980, settled all trees of diameter <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B4%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{4}&amp;fg=000000' title='{4}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' />). I didn&#8217;t give up, it is a disease after all.</p>
<p>
Despite of huge efforts very little known for about graceful trees e.g., any tree with <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%26%2360%3B34%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{&lt;34}&amp;fg=000000' title='{&lt;34}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> vertices has a graceful labeling and all trees of diameter up to <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B5%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{5}&amp;fg=000000' title='{5}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> are graceful.</i> </p>

Two mathematicians from Purdue recently made independent claims, incorrectly, that they have proved the famous theorem.

<p>
I have outlined an approach that we have suggested for a &#8220;human&#8221; proof in a previous <a href="http://rjlipton.wordpress.com/2009/04/24/the-four-color-theorem/">discussion</a>.

Harrison explains why the conjecture is related to the GI conjecture:</p>
<p>
 <i>As someone who&#8217;s been bitten by the reconstruction bug, I&#8217;ll tell you that it is indeed related to graph isomorphism on a fundamental level. Here&#8217;s a brief sketch of why:</p>
<p>
If we label the vertices of a graph, then reconstruction is trivial&#8212;we just glue the induced subgraphs together so that the labels match up, and in fact we only need three induced subgraphs to reconstruct our original graph. The reconstruction conjecture is that, if we forget the labels, then this &#8220;gluing&#8221; process is still unique (up to graph isomorphism, of course). This feels like it should be intuitively true, but there&#8217;s a crucial problem: namely, if the graph has a large automorphism group, then its induced subgraphs can get &#8220;put into&#8221; the original graph in many different ways, and it&#8217;s not clear that the global properties of the graph don&#8217;t change.</p>
<p>
So much of the work on graph reconstruction centers around understanding just how automorphism groups of graphs behave, and how they relate to combinatorial properties. (From the other direction, by the way, it&#8217;s an old result of Béla Bollobás that almost all graphs are reconstructible, since random graphs don&#8217;t allow us to embed large subgraphs into them in more than one way.)</i> </p>
<p>
Ryan Williams adds,  <i>Allow me to get a little bit infected <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Cdots%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{\dots}&amp;fg=000000' title='{\dots}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> If we assume the graph reconstruction conjecture, does this imply anything interesting about the complexity of graph isomorphism?

He says:</p>
<p>
 <i>Roger Apéry was a professor at a small French university. He was past the age most mathematicians prove big theorems, he had a history of bad proofs, not a big research output and, I was told, also an alcoholic. But he was a professional mathematician and not a crank. He showed that <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Czeta%283%29%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{\zeta(3)}&amp;fg=000000' title='{\zeta(3)}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> is not rational. We still don&#8217;t know whether <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Czeta%283%29%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{\zeta(3)}&amp;fg=000000' title='{\zeta(3)}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> is transcendental. </i> </p>
<p>
An anonymous commenter adds,  <i>The reason people were initially skeptical was that Apéry gave a very weird talk presenting the proof. In the talk, he stated some implausible-looking identities and recurrences, with no hint of how to prove them, and he showed that they implied the irrationality of <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Czeta%283%29%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{\zeta(3)}&amp;fg=000000' title='{\zeta(3)}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' />. He apparently didn&#8217;t respond well to questions, and this led people to wonder whether he actually had a proof of the identities. Maybe he had just conjectured them based on numerical experiments, and perhaps they weren&#8217;t even true. He eventually came out with a paper that proved everything, and he probably had the proofs at the time he gave the talk, but he certainly didn&#8217;t explain it at all clearly at that time. I think it wasn&#8217;t until Don Zagier came up with his own proofs of Apéry&#8217;s assertions that everyone became convinced it definitely worked (although everyone got very excited even before that, once they checked everything numerically and found that it all seemed to work).</i> </p>
<p>
I heard that when Apéry wrote on the board the key identity he needed,
<p align="center"><img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%5Cdisplaystyle++%5Czeta%283%29+%3D+%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B2%7D+%5Csum_%7Bn%3D1%7D%5E%7B%5Cinfty%7D%5Cfrac%7B%28-1%29%5E%7Bn-1%7D%7D%7Bn%5E%7B3%7D+%7B2n+%5Cchoose+n%7D%7D+%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='\displaystyle  \zeta(3) = \frac{5}{2} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^{3} {2n \choose n}} &amp;fg=000000' title='\displaystyle  \zeta(3) = \frac{5}{2} \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^{n-1}}{n^{3} {2n \choose n}} &amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /></p>
<p> he gave a very strange answer to &#8220;where did this identity come from?&#8221; He is alleged to have answered, &#8220;<b>they grow in my garden</b>.&#8221; Obviously, this did not help make people feel comfortable. The identity is wonderful, the proof is correct, and the values of the zeta function at other odd integers is still a mystery. </p>

He says,  <i>In the Harary paper they cite the Rudrata disease, an old and widespread one. I like specially the RCD-variant (Rudrata problem for Cayley Digraphs), also old and widespread. Be aware: the later infection is harder to cure than the more general Rudrata disease, since the problem seems simpler! </i> </p>
<p>
I was puzzled by the reference to the &#8220;Rudrata disease,&#8221; since I had not heard of it before. I found out that it is another name for the <i>Hamilton cycle problem</i>, which is of course NP-complete. A special case of the Hamilton cycle problem is the famous knights tour <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knight's_tour">problem</a> on a chessboard. The pattern of moving a knight on a half-chessboard was presented back in the <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B9%5E%7Bth%7D%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{9^{th}}&amp;fg=000000' title='{9^{th}}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> century by the Kashmiri poet Rudrata in a Sanskrit poem. Hence the name &#8220;Rudrata disease.&#8221; </p>
<p>
Thus, this open question is about understanding the structure of Hamiltonian cycles on special graphs that arise from groups&#8212;Cayley Digraphs. I can see why this could be an MD. </p>
<p>
I have to add a comment on a related but completely different topic: <b>how good are you at chess?</b> Moving knights on a chessboard can be used to rate your chess ability. There is a simple test: One places four pawns on the chessboard at certain locations. Your job is to move the knight from one corner of the board to the other <b>as fast as possible</b>. You must visit all squares in a certain order, and can never visit the squares that are occupied by the pawns. You can have the knight visit a square more than once. The <b>time</b> that you take to do this task apparently correlates very well with your chess ability. I was given the test by a friend, and did not do very well. </p>

What is the largest possible rate as a function of <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Cdelta%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{\delta}&amp;fg=000000' title='{\delta}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' />. (A closely related problem is about the densest sphere packing in high dimensional spaces.)</p>
<p>
Is the Gilbert-Varshamov lower bound the correct one? Can the MRRW upper bound (the best known one) be (even slightly) improved? A (somewhat) related (easier) problem: Can you find an elementary construction (not based on algebraic geometry) for large-alphabets codes with better rate than Gilbert-Varshamov. (The zig-zag success for expanders give some little hope.)</p>
<li> <b>The <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7Bg%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{g}&amp;fg=000000' title='{g}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' />-conjecture for spheres:</b>
<p>
This is probably the first problem on my list. I started working on it the earliest and probably spent more time on it than on any other. It is a little hard to explain and motivate. But there are quite a few people who thought about the problem. (There are a few posts about it on my <a href="http://gilkalai.wordpress.com/tag/g-conjecture/">blog</a>).</p>
<li> <b>The Hirsch conjecture (and strongly polynomial LP)</b>
<p>
I wrote about it amply on my <a href="http://gilkalai.wordpress.com/tag/hirsch-conjecture/">blog</a>.</p>
<li> <b>The Erd&#246;s-Rado Delta system-conjecture</b>
<p>
This is on Gowers&#8217;s possible future polymath projects so let me not elaborate further here.</p>
<li> <b>The Cap set conjecture</b>
<p>
It is about the largest size of a subset <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7BA%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{A}&amp;fg=000000' title='{A}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> of <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%28%5Cmathbb%7BZ%7D_3%29%5En%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{(\mathbb{Z}_3)^n}&amp;fg=000000' title='{(\mathbb{Z}_3)^n}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> not having three elements that sum to zero. Closely related to Roth&#8217;s and Szemerédi&#8217;s theorems.</p>
<li> <b>Borsuk&#8217;s conjecture.</b>
<p>
I don&#8217;t think Jeff Kahn and I were &#8220;obsessed&#8221; about the problem while working on it for quite a few years. It is not clear if an obsession mode is a good sign.</p>
<p>
Our approach to the problem is somewhat related to a famous open problem which is still open and is on Alexander Rosa&#8217;s list and was always high on Jeff&#8217;s list: The Erd&#246;s-Faber-Lovász conjecture. (Jeff settled the EFL conjecture skepticism and Jeff and Paul Seymour solved it fractionally.)</p>
<li> <b>Bible codes</b>
<p>
This represents an applied topic that I intensively (and obsessively) spent much time in the late 90&#8217;s. At the end I was a coauthor of a 4-author paper containing a thorough refutation of the scientific evidence for the existence of bible codes. It was a good (while strange) introduction for me on various issues regarding statistics, science, Learnability, even philosophy of science.</p>
<li> <b>Learnability vs rationality</b>
<p>
One tempting &#8220;cure&#8221; for various diseases, especially of conceptual nature, is &#8220;learnability&#8221; via VC-dimension. I was very optimistic at some time about the usefulness of replacing &#8220;rational&#8221; by &#8220;learnable&#8221; in the foundations of theoretical economics.</p>
<li> <b>Infeasibility of quantum computers</b>
<p>
This represents a current main research interest.</p>
<li> <b>P<img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Cneq%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{\neq}&amp;fg=000000' title='{\neq}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' />NP and related issues</b>
<p>
It is probably a good instinct whenever you study some new notion about Boolean functions (or simplicial complexes which are just monotone Boolean functions) to spend a little (let me repeat: a little) time on thinking: does this new notion has bearing on P<img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B%5Cneq%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{\neq}&amp;fg=000000' title='{\neq}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' />NP or other questions in computational complexity? Most often you can easily realize that the answer is no, and sometimes you realize that the answer is no after some more effort.</p>
<li> <b>A little flirt with Poincaré</b>
<p>
I was interested in triangulation of manifolds for which the links of vertices are of the simplest possible kind: stacked spheres. (They are the boundaries of a set of simplices glued together along facets.)</p>
<p>
For dimension greater than three, I proved that such a simply connected manifold is a sphere. For dimension three, I could not prove it and it is a very very very special case of the Poincaré conjecture. (I still cannot prove this special case directly.) If you drop the assumption that the manifolds are simply connected then for <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7Bd%26%2362%3B3%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{d&gt;3}&amp;fg=000000' title='{d&gt;3}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' /> you are left with very simple handle body manifolds. I do not know (and am curious to know) which <img src='http://l.wordpress.com/latex.php?latex=%7B3%7D%26%2338%3Bfg%3D000000&#038;bg=ffffff&#038;fg=000000&#038;s=0' alt='{3}&amp;fg=000000' title='{3}&amp;fg=000000' class='latex' />-manifolds have a triangulation where are links are stacked spheres. </i>
</ol>
<p><b> Open Problems </b></p>
<p><p>
Solve some of these MD&#8217;s. Or suggest some others. One of my <a href="http://wp.me/pr9Ir-L9">favorites</a> that is missing is the power of polynomials over composite moduli.</p>

<p>Marker Text:</p>
<blockquote><p>Darby Field, a New Hampshire settler, accomplished this feat in 1642 from a southerly approach. Partly guided by Indians and with only primitive equipment at his disposal, he is thus alleged to be the originator of all Mount Washington ascensions.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This Marker is located on the Northbound side of Rt. 16 about 1/3rd of a mile North of the Pinkham Notch AMC headquarters.&#160; It was erected in 1963.</p>

<p>Darby Field (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darby_Field" target="_blank">1610-1649</a>) was one of the early settlers of New Hampshire.&#160; We know that he was present to accompany Captain Neal on a <a href="http://mikenh.wordpress.com/2009/10/30/marker-32-revolutionary-capitol/" target="_blank">first exploratory trip</a> into the interior of New Hampshire in 1632.</p>
<p>Field probably arrived in New Hampshire in 1631.&#160; A bit of information from <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=1yQ1AAAAIAAJ&#38;printsec=frontcover#v=onepage&#38;q=&#38;f=false" target="_blank">Sanborne</a> (p307) indicates that he was soldier, sent to assist the exploration of New Hampshire:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#34;By the bark Warwick, we send you a factor to take care of the trade goods; also a soldier for discovery.&#34; &#34;This soldier,&#34; says Mr. Potter, &#34;was doubtless Darby Field, an Irishman who, with Captain Neal and Henry Jocelyn, discovered the White Mountains in 1632.&#34; </p>
</blockquote>
<p>By 1635-38, he had settled in what is now Durham on the South side of the Oyster River (at the time, part of Exeter).</p>
<blockquote><p>We have seen that the men of Dover collectively bought land of the Indians in 1635. Soon after that date they elected their governor, but what powers were conferred upon him can not now be told. They granted land before the year 1640 to several men at Oyster River, where Darby Field was in quiet possession of the &#34;Point&#34; earlier than 1639.</p>
<p>…On the other hand Darby Field, Ambrose Gibbons, Thomas Stevenson, William Williams and probably others then living on the south side of Oyster River, in what is now Durham …</p>

</blockquote>
<p>His journey to the top of Mount Washington is not well documented&#160; The best description comes from the Journal of Governor John Wentworth, (<a href="http://books.google.com/books?pg=PA62&#38;dq=Governor+Winthrop+journal+Darby+Field&#38;ei=dmP4SrrYKqD0yATynu3fBg&#38;id=0D2lSuKkDmYC#v=onepage&#38;q=&#38;f=false" target="_blank">Volume 2, p62-63</a>).&#160; I’ll break the narrative down, and let’s see if we can’t follow Darby’s Trip.</p>
<p><em>“One Darby Field, an Irishman, living about Pascataquack, being accompanied with two Indians, went to the top of the white hill.<span>&#160; </span>He made his journey in 18 days.”</em></p>
<p>Field and two guides head off.&#160; Later, we will see he enlisted further help.</p>
<p><em>“His relation at his return was, that it was about one hundred miles from Saco, that after 40 miles travel he did, for the most part, ascend…”</em></p>
<p>Surprisingly accurate! A Google map search from Saco, ME to Mt. Washington gives 3 routes by car: 87, 91, and 115 miles.&#160; Various accounts say he “paddled up the Saco River”. Conway NH is 32 miles (by car) from the Mountain.&#160; From what comes next, we can guess where he might have been.</p>
<p><em>“for the most part, ascend, and within 12 miles of the top was neither tree nor grass, but low savins, which they went upon the top of sometimes, but a continual ascent upon rocks, on a ridge between two valleys filled with snow, out of which came two branches of Saco river, which met at the foot of the hill where was an Indian town of some 200 people.”</em></p>
<p>This part can be confusing, I’ll reverse this a bit.&#160; Let’s start with the Indian town.&#160; As best I can guess, this could be the confluence of the Saco and Ellis Rivers in Bartlett New Hampshire, near the Base of Mount Kearsarge.&#160; The Abenaki name of the Mountain, is <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Kearsarge_%28Carroll_County,_New_Hampshire%29" target="_blank">“Pequawket.”</a> This little fact leads to:</p>
<blockquote><p>In<span style="font-style:italic;"> </span>1642 Darby Field paddled up the Saco River in a canoe. This was over 300 years ago. He told about seeing <a href="http://conway.lib.nh.us/history/4thgradehistory.htm#I.%20Before%201765:%20The%20Indians" target="_blank">thousands of acres at Pigwacket</a><strong></strong>, an Indian town, This Indian town included all the land which is now <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway,_New_Hampshire" target="_blank">Conway</a> and Fryeburg, Maine. </p>
</blockquote>
<p>It’s probably safe to say that the Indian town was in and around present day Mt. Washington Valley.&#160; Now lets check the first part of the last quote:</p>
<p><em>…and within 12 miles of the top was neither tree nor grass, but low <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Juniperus_sabina" target="_blank">savins</a>, which they went upon the top of sometimes, but a continual ascent upon rocks,…</em></p>
<p>This would indicate that they began the climb, and cleared the tree line.&#160; However, we have to look at the next portion of the narrative:</p>
<p><em>Some of them accompanied him within 8 miles of the top, but durst go no further, telling him that no Indian ever dared to go higher, and that he would die if he went. So they staid there till his return, and <strong>his</strong> two Indians took courage by his example and went with him.</em></p>
<p>Some of the Indians from the town accompanied Field on his trek to the top, but at abut 8 miles, they would go no further.&#160; Field and his 2 guides from Exeter went on alone.&#160; This makes you wonder about the whole 12 mile comment 3 paragraphs above.&#160; There is no place in the Presidential Range that I know of that opens up above the tree line, and stays above, with 12 miles to go to the top of Mt. Washington.&#160; And you know me, I love maps&#160; So lets stick one in here!&#160; Any hikers that know this area, leave a comment correcting me please!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mytopo.com/maps.cfm?mtlat=44.2621&#38;mtlon=-71.28204&#38;z=14"><img style="display:block;float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;border-width:0;" title="mt wash topo" border="0" alt="mt wash topo" src="http://mikenh.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/mtwashtopo1.jpg?w=418&#038;h=280" width="418" height="280" /></a> </p>
<p>Click the map, and you can go to the Topographic map of the area, click the MyTopo button and explore!</p>
<p>The best route I can come up with probably started somewhere around Piknham Notch and went up the current Boott Spur trail, taking our intrepid band of explorers first to Boott Spur, which gives a clear view South to : <em>“…which they went upon the top of sometimes, but a continual ascent upon rocks, on a ridge between two valleys filled with snow, out of which came two branches of Saco river, which met at the foot of the hill where was an Indian town…”</em>&#160; it would be easily visible on a clear day.&#160; That’s my story, and I’m stickin’ to it.</p>
<p><em>“They went divers times through the thick clouds for a good space, and within 4 miles of the top they had no clouds, but very cold. By the way, among the rocks, there were two ponds, one a blackish water and the other reddish. The top of all was plain about 60 feet square.”</em></p>
<p>This almost sounds like they went by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakes_of_the_Clouds">Lakes of the Clouds</a>, but it could have been some puddles.&#160; Up through the clouds with dropping temperatures they finally reach the top where Wentworth describes what Field saw.</p>

</div>
<p align="center"><em><a href="http://www.mountwashington.org/">Mount Washington Observatory</a>&#160;</em></p>
<p><em>On the north side there was such a precipice, as they could scarce discern to the bottom [Great Gulf –Mike]. They had neither cloud nor wind on the top, and moderate heat. </em></p>
<p><em>All the country about him seemed a level, except here and there a hill rising above the rest, but far beneath them [probably the Presidential Range]. He saw to the north a great water which he judged to be about 100 miles broad, but could see no land beyond it. </em></p>
<p><em>The sea by Saco seemed as if it had been within 20 miles. He saw also a sea to the eastward, which he judged to be the gulf of Canada: he saw some great waters in parts to the westward, which he judged to be the great lake which Canada river comes out of [Probably Lake Champlain] . </em></p>
<p><em>He found there much muscovy glass,[Mica Formations] they could rive out pieces of 40 feet long and 7 or 8 broad. </em></p>
<p>More than 350 years ago, before the distances Field was seeing had hardly been explored, it’s to be expected that he would base his observations on the few watery landmarks that were known at the time.&#160; All in all, it was a wonderful observation.</p>
<p><em>When he came back to the Indians, he found them drying themselves by the fire, for they had a great tempest of wind and rain.</em></p>
<p>Welcome to New England.&#160; Don’t like the weather?&#160; Wait around a bit, it’ll change.</p>
<p><em>About a month after he went again with five or six in his company, then they had some wind on the top, and some clouds above them which hid the sun. They brought some stones which they supposed had been diamonds, but they were most crystal. See after, another relation more true and exact.</em></p>
<p>And here the Narrative ends. Think for a moment how the Wilderness must have seemed 350 years ago to the early settlers and Darby Field.&#160; No towns beyond the coast, no roads or settlements.&#160; Just forest and Native American tribes.&#160; It must have been quite a trip.</p>
<p>Finally, my video of Darby Field’s expedition, using the Google Earth Trip Function.&#160; I hope you enjoy it!</p>

<description><![CDATA[We are all trying to better our planet. Conway, Korea’s primary company for eco-friendly green goods]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>We are all trying to better our planet. Conway, Korea’s primary company for eco-friendly green goods hopes to establish a new market leaving high tech brands such as Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics behind by opening up a new market. Conway is looking beyond conveniences and shifting towards wellness. Green home appliances include water purifiers, air filtration systems, electric bidets, food waste treatment devices and water softeners. These are especially popular in European countries. People have to wait an average of three days to get rid of food. The food-waste treatment device break food down making it easier to dispose of, breaking it down to one-tenth of its original size. </p>
<p>In addition, many companies sell appliances that are eco-friendly.  </p>
<p>&#8220;By contrast, few players have waded into the green goods market. Samsung, LG, Siemens and Whirlpool have yet to take the fledgling market seriously. We are looking to make a noise with a &#8216;blue ocean strategy&#8217;,&#8221; Senior Vice President Lee In-chan said, referring to the strategy of creating new market space in an area that is virtually untouched. Conway is designing its products to not only be eco-friendly, but interesting to look at as well. They have attention grabbing air purifiers and water filtration systems. In many countries these are necessities and no one has thought to make them exciting, new and eco-friendly. This thought process seems to be working for Lee. Conway has doubled profits every year since 2006. During the IFA trade show in Berlin, around 22,000 of the 220,000 attendees visited Conway’s booth, showing tremendous interest in their eco-friendly green goods.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>A university student who was photographed urinating over a war memorial was warned that he could be jailed for the &#8220;disgusting act.&#8221;</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2009/10/15/article-1220579-06D574A7000005DC-942_468x664.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Philip Laing, 19, was charged by police after the picture, which showed him urinating on a poppy wreath following a drinking session in the center of Sheffield, appeared on a national newspaper&#8217;s website.</p>
<p>&#8220;The image of your urinating over the poppy wreath on the war memorial in this city will make most turn away in disgust, shock and sadness,&#8221; said District Judge Anthony Browne.</p>
<p>&#8220;It has undoubtedly distressed and upset many. The war memorial is a sacred and a special place.&#8221;</p>
<p>Laing, who appeared in the dock wearing a poppy, pleaded guilty to outraging public decency when he appeared at Sheffield Magistrates&#8217; Court.</p>
<p>The court was told Laing had no recollection of the events of the night of October 11 until he was contacted by the university press office and shown the photograph which was later published on the Daily Mail website.</p>
<p>Prosecutor Ian Conway said Laing had immediately admitted the offence when arrested and told police he was &#8220;very, very drunk, the drunkest I&#8217;ve ever been since I&#8217;ve been at university.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;The disgusting and reprehensible act the defendant carried out was in no way premeditated, targeted or politically motivated,&#8221; Conway said.</p>
<p>&#8220;His actions were sadly the result of having consumed large amounts of alcohol.&#8221;</p>
<p>Laing&#8217;s lawyer Tim Hughes said his client had become caught up in a culture of drinking far too much and added that Laing&#8217;s grandparents had fought in the war.</p>
<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s difficult to articulate just how embarrassed and ashamed this young man is,&#8221; he said.</p>
<p>Laing was released on bail until the next hearing on November 26.</p>

<p>CONWAY, SC &#8211; A man caught &#8220;being intimate&#8221; with a horse has been sentenced to three years in prison!<!--more--></p>
<p>Rodell Vereen was caught by a surveillance camera sneaking into the Lazy B stables and taking advantage of one of the horses.</p>
<p>Barbara Kenley, owner of the stables, had set up the camera after having had previous problems with Vereen. He was caught last year with the same exact horse! At the time he pleaded guilty and was only given probation.</p>
<p>However, Kenley had her suspicions he was back, and set up the camera in July. “Police kept telling me it couldn’t be the same guy,” Kenley said. “I couldn’t believe that there were two guys going around doing this to the same horse.”</p>
<p>After finally catching him on tape, she staked out her own stables until Vereen showed up again. She held him at shotgun point until cops arrived to arrest him.</p>
<p>Kenley said she thought about shooting him but decided not to. “Everyone around here has horses,” Kenley said. “And they all said the same thing. You should have shot him.”</p>
<p>Vereen has pleaded guilty to buggery, and received a sentence of three years in prison, mandatory counseling and a ban from going near the stables.</p>

<p>And what about<strong> Rand Paul</strong> leading <strong>Trey Grayson</strong>?

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>﻿Viene llegando la navidad y empieza la emoción y/o el estrés de la decoración de su símbolo más importante &#8211; el árbol. Aquí, en Conway, te traemos unos tips básicos que te ayudarán mucho en la planificación de la decoración del mismo. Así que prepara a tu familia, junta a tus hijos y preparense para la diversión!</p>
<ol>
<li>Primero &#8211; las luces. Cuélgalas como un espiral alrededor del árbol. Poniendo algunas de las luces más atrás que otras dará el efecto de profunidad y te dejará más espacio para otros adornos.</li>
<li>Asegúrate que tienes suficiente luces para conseguir el efecto requerido. Puedes escoger un solo color, o tener un efecto multicolor. Los demás adornos reflejarán las luces y eso creará un efecto respledoroso. Para un árbol de navidad más elegante es recomendable combinar un máximo de tres colores de adornos en todo el árbol.</li>
<li>Coloca las guirnaldas en espiral, desde la parte de arriba del árbol. Dale a cada una de las guirnaldas su buen espacio. Que no queden colocadas una encima de la otra,</li>
<li>De último, agregar tus adornos navideños especiales. Esos son los que le van a dar el carácter a su árbol. Pueden ser artículos coleccionados de todos los años, adornos familiares con significado especial, peluches, mascaras, en fin &#8211; cualquier cosa que refleje tu personalidad y la de tu familia.</li>
<li>Piensa sobre el efecto que los diferentes arreglos puedan crear: distribuir las piezas más grandes uniformemente, y entre ellos meter los detalles más pequeños. También puedes crear ramitas de uva de las bolas de navidad, combinando uno o dos colores y distribuirlos alrededor del árbol de navidad.</li>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p>You&#8217;ve probably heard about the latest <a href="http://bluegrasspolitics.bloginky.com/2009/11/03/paul-leads-grayson-in-new-us-senate-race-poll/">Survey USA Senate poll</a> that has <strong>Rand Paul</strong> leading <strong>Trey Grayson</strong> and <strong>Daniel Mongriardo</strong> with a double-digit over <strong>Jack Conway</strong>. Well, <a href="http://pageonekentucky.com/2009/11/04/jack-conway-claims-17-point-lead/">Conway has another poll he&#8217;s citing</a> to show that he&#8217;s not out of the race.</p>
<p>But what will this mean for the Senate race? I imagine Grayson will continue his slight lean to the right and I wonder if Conway is thinking of using those infamous Mongiardo tapes in some upcoming ads. Maybe he&#8217;s regretting not doing so already.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><p><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Kevin Shepherd And Guru &#38; UFO Promoter PhD Timothy Conway</span></strong></p>
<p>Although Kevin Shepherd is a staunch <a href="http://kevinrdshepherd.net/html/10___criticism_of_the_new_age.html" target="_blank"><u>Anti</u>-New Age advocate</a> and <a href="http://www.kevinrdshepherd.net/html/19___hinduism_and_gurus.html"><u>Anti</u>-Guru advocate</a>, he devoted a <strong>lengthy</strong> section (on his page discussing the Sai Controversy) to <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/timothy_conway/">Dr. Timothy Conway</a>, citing him as a <strong>credible</strong> and <strong>intelligent</strong> reference against <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/">Sathya Sai Baba</a>. Some relevant quotes:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Kevin R.D. Shepherd:</strong> “However, the counter of Dr. Timothy Conway is more convincing to non-sectarian analysts&#8230;Even the American ex-devotee Dr. Timothy Conway has been on the edged receiving end of sectarian disapproval&#8230;A relevant report comes from Dr. Timothy Conway (an American ex-devotee, not a medic but a scholar of Indian religion). He has contributed a recent lengthy webpage that substantially contradicts the sectarian evasion of alleged sexual abuse by the guru&#8230;The total list of these three categories involves ‘nearly 50 named and unnamed individuals. Dr. Conway adds that sectarian denials are contradicted by the (obvious) fact that ‘there are simply far too many allegations corroborating each other on similar crucial details.’&#8230;Dr. Conway informs that ‘numerous students have allegedly expressed fear to researchers about saying anything of Sathya Sai Baba’s sexual improprieties with them for reasons of shame and family situation (e.g., their parents and grandparents are devotees).’&#8230;Dr. Timothy Conway exited from the sect in 2001. He was subsequently asked to submit questions for Dr. Michael Goldstein as part of the BBC research preparations for their 2004 documentary The Secret Swami&#8230;”</p></blockquote>
<p>Although <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/timothy_conway/">strong counter-arguments</a> have been made against Dr Timothy Conway, Kevin Shepherd <strong>blindly</strong> referenced Conway although Conway is a true believer and promoter of Gurus <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Women_of_Power_and_Grace_testimonials.html" target="_blank">[3]</a></span>, Mystics <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Women_of_Power_and_Grace_testimonials.html" target="_blank">[3]</a></span>, Enlightened Masters <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Women_of_Power_and_Grace_testimonials.html" target="_blank">[3]</a></span>, psychics <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Postmortem_survival_of_the_soul.html" target="_blank">[1]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Remote_Viewing.html" target="_blank">[4]</a></span>, levitation <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Miracles.html" target="_blank">[5]</a></span>, bi-location <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Miracles.html" target="_blank">[5]</a></span>, miracles <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Miracles.html" target="_blank">[5]</a></span>, remote-viewing <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Remote_Viewing.html" target="_blank">[4]</a></span>, elementals, meditation <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/meditation_trends_and_styles.html" target="_blank">[6]</a></span>, paranormal powers <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Miracles.html" target="_blank">[5]</a></span>, aliens <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Remote_Viewing.html" target="_blank">[4]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Artist-Alien-Dena-Blatt/dp/1432712853/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1196797341&#38;sr=1-1" target="_blank">[10]</a></span>, rebirth <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Postmortem_survival_of_the_soul.html" target="_blank">[1]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Reincarnation.html" target="_blank">[7]</a></span>, reincarnation <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Postmortem_survival_of_the_soul.html" target="_blank">[1]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Reincarnation.html" target="_blank">[7]</a></span>, karma <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://64.233.167.104/search?q=cache:Wt6VH_3yoa0J:www.enlightened-spirituality.org/support-files/6karmas.pdf+site:enlightened-spirituality.org&#38;hl=en&#38;ct=clnk&#38;cd=90&#38;gl=us" target="_blank">[8]</a></span>, oracles <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, I-Ching <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, sensitives <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Postmortem_survival_of_the_soul.html" target="_blank">[1]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, channelers <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Postmortem_survival_of_the_soul.html" target="_blank">[1]</a></span> <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, astrology <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, astrologists <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, palm-reading <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">[2]</a></span>, non-duality <span style="font-size:78%;"><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&#38;lr=&#38;safe=off&#38;as_qdr=all&#38;q=+%22nonduality%22+site%3Aenlightened-spirituality.org" target="_blank">[9]</a></span>, etc. (the list goes on and on).</p>
<p>For example, if you are looking for an answer to a difficult problem, PhD Timothy Conway suggested the following solutions:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Dr. Timothy Conway:</strong> “Ask God (Spirit, the one God-Self) for guidance and for some kind of ‘omen’ or ‘sign,’ if needed, to proceed in a certain direction (i.e., making choice A, B, C or whatever). Be willing to wait several days or weeks (or, in some cases, months or even years for this guidance to manifest)&#8230;Use an oracle, such as the I Ching (Book of Changes). More simply, you can ask for Divine Guidance and then flip a coin&#8211;with heads meaning one choice, tails meaning the other choice. If you like, flip it 10 times and see if a clear pattern emerges. You might say, ‘Well, how the coin flips is simply due to chance.’ Perhaps. But one can also trust that there is a deeper Principle behind everything that happens, and you can ask this Divine Guiding Intelligence to show you an answer via the coin-tossing process. Alternatively, you can create a slightly more sophisticated oracle of your own by getting out 3 or 4 pieces of paper. Then write ‘yes’ on one, ‘no’ on another, ‘wait’ on a third piece of paper, and, if you like, ‘wrong question’ on the fourth piece of paper. Then turn them face down, scramble them up, and pick one of the 3 or 4 pieces of paper to get guidance this way&#8230;You can also consult a psychic ‘sensitive’ and/or an astrologer or a palmist (Indian jyotish astrology followed by Western astrology seem to be the most accurate astrology systems. And, curiously, palmistry and astrology seem to complement each other as different methods for getting to the same ‘karmic’ information on the soul’s mission, destiny, strengths and vulnerabilities).” (<a href="http://www.enlightened-spirituality.org/Guidance_on_choices.html" target="_blank">Reference</a>)</p></blockquote>
<p>Timothy Conway is also set to release two books praising over 40 Gurus, <em>&#8220;Wonder-Workers&#8221;</em>, Sages, Saints and Tantriks in 2009. What is so amusing about this is that Kevin Shepherd often <strong>attacks</strong> New Age believers and Guru promoters as being brainwashed and mentally sick. However, when it comes to Sathya Sai Baba, Kevin Shepherd <strong>discards</strong> his <em>&#8220;scholarly&#8221;</em>, <em>&#8220;academic&#8221;</em> and scientific posturing and cites New Age believers and Guru promoters as <strong>reliable</strong> and <strong>reputable</strong> references against him. Since Kevin Shepherd <strong>heavily</strong> cited Timothy Conway on his domains, he apparently researched Timothy Conway&#8217;s beliefs and <strong>approved</strong> of them.</p>
<p>Timothy Conway cannot take a consistent position for or against Sathya Sai Baba. For example, Timothy Conway had the following to say about Sathya Sai Baba and his alleged paranormal powers:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Timothy Conway:</strong> <em>&#8220; I remain convinced that there are paranormal miracles (wondrous anomalies), and &#8216;deep, mysterious energies,&#8217; perhaps involving multi-dimensional physics and paranormal or supra-normal power, that are occurring around and through the personality of Sathya Sai Baba.&#8221;</em></li>
<li><strong>Timothy Conway:</strong> <em>&#8220;Sathya Sai could be an amazingly accomplished but fallen yogi (yogabhrashta)&#8230;&#8221;</em></li>
<li><strong>Timothy Conway:</strong>  <em>&#8220;We should also be aware that these energies and powers could be coming from Sai Baba of Shirdi and/or the Divine Absolute&#8230;&#8221;</em></li>
<li><strong>Timothy Conway:</strong> <em>&#8220;Perhaps he is just a highly adept but fallen yogi or an inter-dimensionally powerful but contaminated &#8216;channel&#8217; for the former Sai Baba of Shirdi (d.1918).&#8221;</em></li>
<li><strong>Timothy Conway:</strong> <em>&#8220;the powers of someone who has some &#8216;elemental spirits&#8217; or other entities helping him from interdimensional planes? (–no joke: it&#8217;s a very old, worldwide knowledge that one can derive certain powers by contacting such entities).&#8221;</em> <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/timothy_conway/email-correspondence-timothy-conway.html#timothy_conway_email_8">Ref: Conway Email No. 8</a>.</li>
<li><strong>Timothy Conway:</strong> <em>&#8220;Now, a purna avatar would, it seems, incarnate the totality of God, including the polarity play of light-dark, purity-mischief, unattachment-lust, and so on. This is a disturbing concept, but perhaps quite applicable to Baba’s controversial activity. Moreover, the sexual activity, which we now know to apparently involve considerable lust, might be Baba&#8217;s way of transmuting the very heavy sexual energy among humanity at this time on the planet.&#8221;</em></li>
<li><strong>Timothy Conway:</strong> <em>&#8220;I have sometimes thought that Sai is lustfully &#8216;taking on&#8217; (on a psychic level) the lust of humanity to clear our sexual karma.&#8221;</em></li>
<li><strong>Timothy Conway:</strong> <em>&#8220;I grant that much or most of Baba&#8217;s spectacular mission has been about teaching and demonstrating Love.&#8221;</em></li>
<li><strong>Timothy Conway:</strong> <em>&#8220;I do believe that there has been an astonishing amount of genuine goodness, compassion and spiritual upliftment in and around Baba.&#8221;</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Does Kevin R. D. Shepherd agree with these statements by Timothy Conway as well, or are his agreements selective and self-serving?</p>
<p>Timothy Conway also <strong>believed</strong> and <strong>endorsed</strong> (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/Artist-Alien-Dena-Blatt/dp/1432712853/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1196797341&#38;sr=1-1">Ref</a>) the alleged experiences of Shirl&#1080; Klein-Carsh, a so-called <em>&#8220;Indigo&#8221;</em> (an alleged extraterrestrial alien that voluntarily incarnates in human form on Earth). Shirl&#1080; Klein-Carsh claimed she was psychologically, spiritually and artistically guided by a cleverly disguised alien from Sirius (the star in the constellation of Canis Major) who worked as an electronics repairman in a second-hand shop. Timothy Conway said:</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>PhD Timothy Conway:</strong> &#8220;This is a fascinating study of someone with sensitivities hardly dreamed of by most persons. Other books present the carefully presented and reasoned case for the existence of inter-dimensional aliens interacting with humans. This book goes straight into the mystery and wonder of the human-alien contact.&#8221; &#8211; Timothy Conway, PhD., author of &#8216;Women of Power and Grace&#8217;</p></blockquote>
<p>Furthering his alien and UFO beliefs, Timothy Conway attempted to argue that <u>if</u> Sai Baba possesses paranormal powers, he could easily <em>&#8220;warp spacetime&#8221;</em> by creating an <em>&#8220;insular interdimensional environment&#8221;</em> where he could engage in abuse without easy detection. Attempting to bolster this asinine argument, Timothy Conway argued that people who are abducted by aliens and who experience the <em>&#8220;missing time&#8221;</em> phenomenon, have been lifted, transported and relocated to other areas without their spouses being aware of anything amiss. That&#8217;s right, Timothy Conway believes that it is possible that Sai Baba molested alleged victims on another dimension, which is why it is so difficult for them to prove their allegations and why there is an abysmal lack of witnesses supporting their claims (<a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/timothy_conway/email-correspondence-timothy-conway.html#timothy_conway_email_10">Ref: Conway Email No. 10</a>).</p>
<p>These are the amusing beliefs held by a PhD who attempts to take a sober and rational position against <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/">Sathya Sai Baba</a>. <a href="http://www.sai-fi.net/baba/controversy_allegations/Timothy_Conway.html" title="Timothy Conway">Timothy Conway</a>, <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/baba/Ex-Baba.com/ex-devotees-critics-skeptics.html">Ex-Devotees</a> and <a href="">Kevin Shepherd</a> are hypocrites who immediately jump to the worse case conspiratorial view and adamantly <u>refuse</u> to coherently and legitimately provide <strong>factual</strong> and <strong>verifiable</strong> information to support their smear campaigns against Sathya Sai Baba.</p>
<p>Kevin R.D. Shepherd not only endorsed and cited <a href="http://www.saisathyasai.com/timothy_conway/">Guru Advocate &#38; New Age Promoter Timothy Conway</a>, he also endorsed and cited <a href="http://kevin-shepherd-exposed.blogspot.com/2009/09/kevin-shepherd-psychic-medium-conny.html">Psychic Trance Medium Conny Larsson</a>, <a href="http://geraldjoemoreno.wordpress.com/2009/11/01/scholar-kevin-r-d-shepherd-references-new-age-advocate-and-reincarnator-against-moreno/">New Age Practitioner &#38; Reincarnator Alan Kazlev</a> and <a href="http://geraldjoemoreno.wordpress.com/2009/11/02/kevin-r-d-shepherd-cited-ramtha-adherent-against-sathya-sai-baba/">New Age Ramtha Adherent Ullrich Zimmermann</a>. What does this say about Kevin Shepherd? Kevin Shepherd is obviously a very gullible and naive person who is willing to give <strong>credence</strong> to New Age beliefs by claiming that New Age followers are intelligent, honest, credible and reliable individuals who are <strong>worthy</strong> of being referenced by <u>him</u> (an alleged <em>&#8220;scholarly&#8221;</em> and <em>&#8220;academic&#8221;</em> author <strong>not</strong> given to superstition or superstitious beliefs).</p>
