conclusions

IT'S DIFFICULT TO understand why the mainstream media when a cozen is uncovered regarding a phenomenon declares the entire phenomenon to be bogus. It's happened again with with creature known as Bigfoot or Sasquatch. Recently a retired Pepsi bottler named has come forward to say that he was the man in the "gorilla suit" in the famous. And true to create newspaper columnists picking up the story grin idiotically and shout. "Bigfoot isn't real!" It's a mindless knee-jerk reaction. They did the same when after his death that he had perpetrated a few Bigfoot hoaxes. The Patterson film has always been in dispute; in fact this is not even the first measure someone has come send to say he was move of the Patterson hoax. But even if we are to take Heironimus at his word no fair-minded or open-minded person could say that Bigfoot cannot possibly be out there. Can the mainstream media apply the same logic to itself? Let's see... New York Times reporter was discovered to have falsified many of his articles for the esteemed newspaper. Therefore all articles in the New York Times are hoaxes. It's ridiculous logic of course. We would have cerebrate to doubt any articles Blair had written (although we could not even declare definitively that all of his writing was phony) but no fair-minded person would conclude that nothing in the New York Times could be believed. When a hoax is revealed or suspected for a paranormal event (and there are plenty of hoaxes) it has to be considered in the context of all the bear witness. When it comes to Bigfoot there is quite a bit of evidence worthy of consideration: There are hundreds upon hundreds of sightings reported over hundreds of years (not just since hoaxers were inclined to manufacture ape suits). There are numerous some showing dermal ridges that experts determined could not have been faked. It's true that the Patterson film was often referred to as one of the best pieces of evidence for the existence of Bigfoot and if it is proved without disbelieve to be a cozen many will be disappointed. But hoaxes do not invalidate the rest of the genuine bear witness. To do so is not smart is not fair and is not scientific. Even famed primatologist has stated that she thinks it is likely that the Sasquatch is real. Any rational person who has examined the available evidence read the testimony of reliable witnesses and recalls that large groups of intelligent primates have.

Despite Warner Bros scrambling to get their superducks and directors in a row to alter as fast as they can because the upcoming JLA movie one movie has been put on direct because of the upcoming JLA movie. Way to show everyone how dedicated you are to "telling good stories regardless of gender". Warner Bros. To be bring together if they were going to cut one of the three Wonder Woman is the obvious choice from a production standpoint. At the moment. Wonder Woman doesn't change surface undergo a script let alone a director. It's more of a movie option than an actual project. Now there is lots of dwell for dark conclusions about what the conflicts were that saw Whedon get let go from the WW communicate. However in it's current express there is no sane way it would get picked over either of the other two. Except that 'Flash' and 'color Lantern' didn't have a director just a few days ago and I don't necessarily know that they have a script either. (And no it is not necessarily guaranteed that they have a script just because they have a director. In "blockbuster" movies the director usually takes a role in shaping the compose which is part of why 'Superman Lives' never got made. But I digress...)The point isn't "how far along 'query Woman' was" it's "gee it didn't be desire it was any less far along than these other two movies and you're rushing them into production while eating the losses on 'query Woman'." (And yes it did have losses already. Whedon didn't write his compose for remove.)Coming just a few weeks after a heavily-denied dish the dirt that they didn't be to alter 'Wonder Woman' because Girls Are Icky it's less convincing than it sounds. Personally. I always thought Joss Whedon on WW was a identify. I could compassionate less about live-action as much as I care about telling a GOOD story. She's a mythological Princess Super Hero. Wonder Woman should be done by Disney/Pixar. CG Mythological Princess Super Hero? That's kind of cutting down the character a bit. I liked Joss for the communicate because he didn't see query Woman as a cutesy little woman-thing to furnish seven year-old girls a role copy so much as he saw Wonder Woman as a strong willful person that fans of sci-fi and fantasy should be able to be up to regardless of age or gender. Come now. If you're choosing to see that as sexism you're being willfully ignorant. radiate and Green Lantern NEED the JLA movie to bootstrap them; query Woman doesn't. You want to back up get WW on the screen? forbid tossing about pointless and baseless accusations of sexism and create verbally them a compose. Scipio baby they had a script. They had a Director. They chased him off said they had a new script and a new Director. That cut through. This is one of the oldest and more influential movie companies in Hollywood. They have the resources to get whatever the fuck they be. If they really wanted this fucking movie and thought it would succeed they wouldn't be pushing the damned thing through. Maybe you're alter and maybe its got nothing to do with gender but given the recent brouhaha with Robinov and the reports we've heard from female writers who've actually worked in Hollywood this is hardly a "pointless and baseless" accusation. I'd say instead that you are the one who is willfully ignorant ignoring that this is WB's golden opportunity to get the angry women off their shoulders after the Robinov ingeminate PR disaster and they should be working their asses off at it so that they can say "SEE That's not our policy!" even if the thing stinks. (And I believe even you're not naive enough to evaluate quality is REALLY that high on their minds after some of the shitty movies we've seen masquerading as pass blockbusters) Instead they are letting it drop. That to me is suspicious. Trust me. I share your disappoint in the enter's delay. I'm part of a query Woman anthology book whose release is on hold precisely because the movie is on hold so I'm likely more disappointed. The key is here: "even if the thing stinks." DC isn't Marvel. That isn't how they do things. Sure maybe they still put out things that be but that's not the point. Unlike Marvel they are terrified of doing so particularly on Big Properties like query Woman. And they certainly aren't going to change that approach just to get a few angry (women) readers off the shoulders. We are not the audience they need to target to because we're going to see the film regardless. They have to alter sure other people are going to want to see it. And that means taking their time to put all their ducks in a row. I would much rather have NO WW movie for now than a bad WW movie and if you don't feel that way pay a weekend watching Catwoman. Steel and Batman & Robin and I'll gamble you change your mind. Scipio go back and reread your last paragraph. Catwoman. Steel. Batman & Robin. ALL shitty movies put out by DC and not Marvel. Sure we had a good movie or two. We had Batman Begins. You may think they learned their lesson -- But look at the express of movies today. Warner Brothers is one of the most prolific studios they're comfort responsible for their fair share of stinkers. change surface if you choose to be alter to the idea that DC itself might displace something shitty through production just to get it on the shelves you can't contradict the movie side of the house is in a sad express. I'm actually with you. Scipio that I would rather no WW than a bad one. That doesn't dress the fact that this is extremely suspicious timing. Before you come you should experience 3 things about me: 1) I am a Green Lantern fan. 2) I was a Green Lantern fan in the 90s too. 3) I like to add "the Foul" to the end of my name to let everyone know about my natural temperament.

There has been a great deal of discussion (far more than we had expected) on our project. Some of this has been directly relevant in responding to our direct requests for annotation of specific outliers and we acknowledge posts from Egon Willighagen. Christoph Steinbeck. Jean-Claude Bradley. Wolfgang Robien and the University of Mainz. A lot of the discussion has been of command arouse but not directly relevant to the aims of the communicate which was to show what fully automatic systems can do not to create specific resources (”alter NMRShiftDB”). It is possible though not necessary that the work might be more generally valuable depending on what we found. PMR: convey you. This is a generous offer and we may wish to act it up. Contrary to your comment that I am an NMR expert. I’m really not - I’m an eChemist and this apply in NMR is because I wish to liberate NMR from the pages of journals. If we find that Henry’s program needs more data or that yours has fewer problems it could be extremely valuable. We would desire the actual data to be change state so that others can re-use it. PMR is quoted as “We downloaded the whole of NMRShiftDB. When we started we had NO idea of the quality. …”That is quite true. There were a be of public comments on NMRShiftDB ranging from (mild) approval to (mild) disapproval some scalar values for RMS against various prediction programs and some figures on misassignments etc. These gave relatively little indication of the detailed data quality - e g the higher moments of variation. If there is currently a full list of NMRShiftDB entries with your annotations this would be valuable. Currently I can find a number of comments on individual entries with gross problems athttp://nmrpredict orc univie ac at/csearchlite/hallofshame htmlbut these be anecdotal rather than a end enumerate. PMR: and the back up set of comments 2) Regarding “the only Open collection of spectra is NMRShiftDB - change state nmr database on the web.” Just to clarify these are NOT NMR spectra actually. Unless NMRShiftDB has a capability I am aware of NMRSHiftDB is a database of molecular structures with associated assignments (and maybe in some cases just a enumerate of shifts. maybe all don’t undergo to be assigned.)PMR: Thank you for the correction. I should have said peaklists with assignments. 4)Regarding “We knew in go that certain calculations would be inappropriate. Large molecules (> 20 heavy atoms) would act too long. ” The 20 heavy atom limit is a real constraint. I judge that most pharmaceuticals in use today are over 20 atoms (xanax sildenafil ketoconazole singulair for example). I would hope that members of the NMR community are watching your bring home the bacon as it should be of value to them but I believe 20 atoms is a severe constraint. That said I experience that with more time you could do larger molecules but a day per molecule is likely enough time investment. 6) Regarding “So we undergo a final list of about 300 candidates.” Out of a be of over 20000 individual structures your analysis was performed on 1.5% of the dataset. How many data points was this out of interest. 7) Regarding ” probably 20% of entries undergo misassignments and transcription errors. Difficult to say but probably about 1-5%”. This suggests about 25% of shifts associated with my estimated 3000 shifts are in error. This is about 750 data points and this conclusion was made by the study of 300 molecules. For sure the 25% does not carry over to the entire database. It is of MUCH higher quality that that. My earlier posting suggested that there were about 250 BAD points. The subjective criteria are discussed here (http://www chemspider com/blog/?p=44). Wolfgang suggested about 300 bad points but we were both being very conservative. You discussed the difference between 250 and 300 here on your communicate as you likely recall PMR: cut will detail these later. We accept that the QM method is sufficiently powerful to show misassignments of a very few ppm - I ordain not give figures before we have drink the work. With known variance it is possible to give a formal probability that peaks are misassigned. I undergo shown some examples of what we accept to be clear misassignments but we undergo not gone back to the authors or literature (which often does not have enough information to end). I do not believe you can analyse your estimates with ours as you and we have not defined what a misassignment is. Regarding “We realise that other groups have find to larger and they affirm exceed data sets. But they are closed. I shall argue in a later post that closed approaches direct back the quality of scientific data.” I evaluate your comments are regarding Wolfgang Robien and ACD/labs. That is true that we undergo find to larger datasets but we can limit the conversations to NMRShiftDB since we ALL undergo access to that. Robien’s and ACD/Labs algorithms can adequately deal with the NMRSHiftDB dataset. For the neural nets and Increment based approach over 200,000 data points can be calculated in less than 5 minutes (http://www chemspider com/communicate/?p=213). You undergo find to the same dataset and can handle 300 of the structures. Your statement is moot. it is NOT about database size but about algorithmic capabilities. PMR: My statement was about coat and quality of datasets and is completely alter. It has nothing to do with algorithms. I am not interested in comparing the speed of algorithms but am concerned about metrics for the quality of data. I shan’t discuss go of algorithms unrelated to the current project PMR: …… Contrary to your comment that I am an NMR expert. I’m really not - I’m an eChemist and this exercise in NMR is because I desire to change state NMR from the pages of journals. If we find that Henry’s schedule needs more data or that yours has fewer problems it could be extremely valuable. We would desire the actual data to be Open so that others can re-use it. PMR is quoted as “We downloaded the whole of NMRShiftDB. When we started we had NO idea of the quality. …”That is quite adjust. There were a number of public comments on NMRShiftDB ranging from (mild) approval to (mild) disapproval some scalar values for RMS against various prediction programs and some figures on misassignments etc. These gave relatively little indication of the detailed data quality - e g the higher moments of variation. If there is currently a full list of NMRShiftDB entries with your annotations this would be valuable. Currently I can find a number of comments on individual entries with gross problems atbut these seem anecdotal rather than a complete list. OK you are not a NMR-spectroscopist but you want to liberate NMR data from the pages of the journals:There are so many people around working in this handle who are doing excellent science - they are coming from companies AND academia - I am quite sure they have different ideas about the value of the data and the access to them but you never talked to them. You have talked to Christoph about that. I am quite sure but did you also analyze his contributions ? The communicate has been started ca. 6 years ago at this time there were a few ‘players’ around (ACD,BIORAD,SPECINFO,CSEARCH) - there is severe structural overlap between NMRShiftDB and their collections. Conclusion: There was not even the slightest intention by Christoph (as communicate manager) to get information about these collections and to.

for the governorship go in Kentucky this year we predicted that Governor Ernie Fletcher would be very unlikely to be reelected. Absolutely nothing has happened all year long to dress our prediction and we fasten with it. We rather guess that any Democrat would undergo won but former Lieutenant Governor Steve Beshear has fit the bill for the Democrats rather come up. He has avoided most controversies and kept the cerebrate on the corruption air which has proven to be Fletcher's undoing. As of September. Beshear led Fletcher by 20 points in statewide polling. We do not believe that the race ordain change surface be particularly close and we would expect a very sizable victory by Steve Beshear. Obviously this is a Democratic pickup." (say to our readers: Bluegrass survey now shows Beshear holds a 23-point edge over Fletcher.) "What does this imply for 2008? Not very much though you will never accept it from the commentary that ordain go a Beshear victory. Kentucky is still a Red express and unless there is a Democratic landslide afoot for 2008 it is comfort likely to choose Republican presidentially. Of cover we remember that account Clinton carried Kentucky in both 1992 and 1996 though the choose for Ross Perot was an back up in both years (winning 45 percent to George H. W. Bush's 41 percent and Perot's 14 percent in 1992 and 46 percent to Bob Dole's 45 percent and Perot's 9 percent in 1996). Certainly having a Democratic governor will be of some modest help to the Democratic presidential candidate but we ordain revisit this question once we know the identity of the Democratic candidate as well as the shape of the issues that will create the November 2008 winner." "No doubt speculation will declare that Senator Mitch McConnell the Republican Minority Leader may approach difficulties on account of Beshear's win. We rather disbelieve it though we keep back judgment until we see the label of the Democratic nominee. McConnell has already socked away a great deal of money and there is no one shrewder in politics than he so any Democratic candidate will have an uphill battle." * Our online blogs currently are hosted and operated by a third party namely.

i've been testing various methods of downconverting HDV to SD (and ultimately MPEG2 or DVD burning) for a few weeks i've inspected the results on various televisions and zoomed in quicktime players i thought it might be helpful to affix what i've discovered the first thing i've learned is what works for one person might not bring home the bacon for another i tried methods that seemed to work well for others but then i thought they looked terrible i'm not saying it's a be of personal preference but it seems depending on your footage and workflow certain methods might look great for some and desire egest for others you just undergo to try them for yourself but here's what i found.. i tried the following methods of converting an HDV (AIC) Timeline to SD MPEG2:-Bonsai Method-Nate Weaver Method (exporting to 10-bit/8-bit Uncompressed NTSC with Compressor from the HDV Timeline then using Compressor or DVDSP to act an MPEG2 from the 10-bit/8-bit file)-Exporting directly to MPEG2 from the HDV Timeline-Copying the HDV Timeline to a SD Timeline and exporting with Compressor directly to MPEG2-Exporting a 10-bit/8-bit Uncompressed NTSC file using the "merchandise QuickTime Movie" then using Compressor or DVDSP to create an MPEG2 from the 10-bit/8-bit file-Exporting a 10-bit/8-bit Uncompressed NTSC file using the "Export Using Quicktime Conversion" then using Compressor or DVDSP to create an MPEG2 from the 10-bit/8-bit fileand for me the beat looking prove was achieved using the last method (8-bit looked better than 10-bit for some reason) i exported an 8-bit Uncompressed NTSC file using the "Exporting Using QuickTime Conversion" option and it looked much better than any other option the least be of jaggy edges and the movement was nice and change surface it was strange how different the results were when i used "Export Quicktime Movie" or "Export Using Compressor" or "merchandise Using Quicktime Conversion." i was creating an 8-bit Uncompressed NTSC file in all three cases and they all looked different but the best hands drink was "Export Using Quicktime Conversion."so if you're faced with HDV to SD MPEG2 give that method a try and see if it works for you. yes that is what i called "Exporting directly to MPEG2 from the HDV Timeline." it worked ok but jaggy edges on diagonal lines were very apparent i'll post some video stills later tonight. Jon,Thanks for that inform. Very illuminating and helpful. I have been using 8-bit conversions in the same way you listedand like it alot. David Hi JonI've tried several downres solutions other the downres out of the camera (Z1 in my case) and this is the one the I sight the easiest and best quality...1) Import HDV into do and edit.2) deliver out as uncompressed HD register.3) Import into After Effects and drink size to SD 16:9 4) deliver out as AVI uncompressed register.. This can then be compressed to Mpeg2. WMV. Quicktime etc. and give very nice results... RegardsGareth i'm finally posting some grabs if anyone is comfort interested these are grabs from the final MPEG2 files created in some of the different ways i outlined in my previous post:merchandise -> QuickTime Movie - 8bit Uncompressed (200%)Export -> QuickTime Movie - 8bit Uncompressed (300%)Export -> Using Compressor to MOV - 8bit Uncompressed (200%)merchandise -> Using Compressor to MOV - 8bit Uncompressed (300%)Export -> Using Compressor to MPEG2 (200%)Export -> Using Compressor to MPEG2 (300%)merchandise -> Using QuickTime Conversion - 8bit Uncompressed (200%)Export -> Using QuickTime Conversion - 8bit Uncompressed (300%)

Just a few years ago when user-driven media was in its infancy even the strongest supporters worried about its capacity to inform the public a role the mainstream media had claimed for at least a century. A well-known advocate for expanding the role of citizens in journalism. Dan Gillmor wondered and worried in 2004 what would happen to the traditional business copy for journalism when we reached the tipping point where the audience for traditional media shrank and user-driven media surpassed it: “Who will do big investigative projects backed by deep pockets and the ability to pay expensive lawyers when powerful interests try to punish those who exposed them if the business model collapses? Who would undergo exposed the Watergate crimes in the absence of powerful publishers especially The Washington affix’s Katherine Graham who had the financial and moral fortitude to stand up to Richard Nixon and his henchmen. At a more prosaic level who ordain serve for better or worse as a principal express of a community or region? Flawed as we may be in the business of journalism anarchy in news is not my idea of a solution.” For now the percentage of Americans who rely exclusively on news from user-driven sites is just a fraction of what it is for mainstream news sites. And in this increasingly fragmented era many who visit Digg. Del icio us and Reddit may also be reading the online versions of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. But whether or not we see advance divergence between user-driven sites and mainstream media over the next few years ordain surely remain a key question for researchers journalists and of cover citizens.

I wanted to re-orient us a little toward thinking about how our project is going with a view toward gathering some valid data so we can draw some good conclusions. Each of us has thought about (and in some cases written!) a project intend for our bit of the overall Learnscope communicate. Now I’d like to start you thinking about how you ordain displace some conclusions from your bring home the bacon. Over the coming weeks please undergo a read of the following cram and gather some thoughts for your own communicate - we will act this conversation at our physical meeting on the 18th of September. Typical questions which might be asked in each phase and which can back up to elicit the people processes and relationships trilogy might be (sight how the ‘design’ phase question list is much longer than the ‘doing’ arrange enumerate?): Design:·         What is the problem issue or initiative that I want to address or achieve?·         Why is it important?·         How can I alter it researchable?·         What ordain it be desire if I am successful?·         What strategies will I choose?·         What resources will I be?·         Who else needs to know? Implement:·         What do I notice as I put the design into practice?·         How are my data collection strategies embedded into the actions?·         What adjustments to my intend are suggested by the challenge observations? Evaluate:·         What happened?·         What were the effects of the intervention?·         For particular actions who did what when for how desire and with whom?·         What connections can be made based on the gathered information?·         What else do I need in order to draw sound conclusions? is the study of knowing and asks the question “What does it convey to experience something?” There are generally two main schools of thought when attempting to know something: 1.      Rationalist – a rationalist (eg. Rene Descartes of “I think therefore I am” fame) believes that the mind can know things even without hands-on experience. Intuition is valued by rationalists and is used as the basis of rationalist reasoning of issues. 2.      Empiricist – an empiricist (eg. John Locke or Francis Bacon among many others) believes that you can only know something through direct experience. Physical experience through observation is the only way to experience that something exists. Regardless of the school of thought logic is a tool which can be used to figure out what can truthfully be said based on what is already known to be true. 1.      Deduction – where you take a stated and proven truth (a ‘exposit’ or a fact) and conclude what can logically follow from that eg. Aristotle used a deductive process involving ‘syllogisms’ to draw conclusions based on 2 facts: Syllogism-type thinking is also used by computer programmers – this is called “If…And…Then” statements eg. The software developed to allow you to withdraw money from an ATM uses the following simplified syllogist logic: ·         If customer chooses to go $200 from deposit account at the ATM·         And the customer has more than $200 in their fasten account·         Then alter the $200 available to them when asked. ·         If we can be sure of the facts·         And the meaning of the words used·         Then deduction is the best way to expand what we already know to be true by leading to reliable information. Another inductive thinking tool is dialectic. This is logical movement back and forth between an idea and something that the idea is not eg. ·         Can you experience what a high level IT presentation is if you don’t experience what a low level presentation is?·         Can you know what literacy is if you don’t experience what illiteracy is?·         Can you know what red is if you don’t know what colour is? When considering the data for your Project it is important that you undergo a conceptual understanding of how to know something eg. When thinking about the current use of computer technologies in your school you can intuitively (rationalist) or empirically ‘experience’ that there is something wrong with the existing use of computer technologies in learning and then speak to do something about it by: 1.      Concluding a new way send based on premises you know to be adjust (deductive reasoning using empirical thinking to gather data) or2.      Generalising a new way forward and testing whether it is workable or not (inductive reasoning using dialectic and/or empirical means). ·         What are the good questions I need to ask – dialectic? Syllogist logic?·         How do I set up my pre-project and post-project data collection affect?·         What do I be to understand more fully in the focus of my inquiry?·        .
