"Behold, I Come Like A Thief..."

WASHINGTON (AP) — Israeli officials say they won't warn the U.S. if they decide to launch a pre-emptive strike against Iranian nuclear facilities, according to one U.S. intelligence official familiar with the discussions. The pronouncement, delivered in a series of private, top-level conversations, sets a tense tone ahead of meetings in the coming days at the White House and Capitol Hill.
But the apparent decision to keep the U.S. in the dark also stems from Israel's frustration with the Obama White House.

After a visit by National Security Adviser Tom Donilon, they became convinced the Americans would neither take military action, nor go along with unilateral action by Israel against Iran. The Israelis concluded they would have to conduct a strike unilaterally — a point they are likely to hammer home in a series of meetings over the next two weeks in Washington, the official said.

Muslim Sunni V Shiite: Let The Games Begin!

So...let's arm the Syrians' against Assad? Well I find myself warming to that McCain idea. The so called rebels are no different from the usual rag-bag of dysfunctioning Arabs...and I guess as long as they are knocking eight bells of shit out of each other, the arming thing does have it's merits!

WOW!..But It's Still A Mystery!

35 years later, the ‘wow!’ signal still tantalizes!
By Paul Scott Anderson, Universe Today

Since the SETI program first began searching for possible alien radio signals a few decades ago, there have been many false alarms but also instances of fleeting signals of interest which disappeared again as quickly as they had appeared. If a potential signal doesn’t repeat itself so it can be more carefully observed, then it is virtually impossible to determine whether it is of truly cosmic origin. One such signal in particular caught astronomers’ interest on August 15, 1977. The famous “Wow!” signal was detected by the Big Ear Radio Observatory at Ohio State University; it was thirty times stronger than the background noise but lasted only 72 seconds and was never heard again despite repeated subsequent searches...

Iran: No Nukes Say USA! Er...Or So We Believe...

U.S. Agencies See No Move by Iran to Build a Bomb!

American intelligence analysts continue to believe that there is no hard evidence that Iran has decided to build a nuclear bomb. 

First of all: they haven't had a phone call from the Iranian President saying that they've started to bake one...and...much more important to Mr Obama is - and he's intimated as much to all his fans across the known Universe - that he most certainly does not want any party poopin' pesky very loud distractions before November and his mega amazing: 

"MY
 SECOND COMING: 

THE CORONATION" 

So...the US intelligence analysts continue to "believe." 
Well, that's most reassuring and all the confirmation you need in The Land of Israel in order to have a very good-night's kip in Tel Aviv...

Music, Power Laws And Fractals...

 A team of researchers, led by Daniel Levitin of McGill University, has found after analyzing over two thousand pieces of classical music that span four hundred years of history, that virtually all of them follow a one-over-f (1/f) power distribution equation. He and his team have published the results of their work in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Levitin and his team analyzed (by measuring note length line by line) close to 2000 pieces of classical music from a wide group of noted composers. In so doing, they found that virtually every piece studied conformed to the power law. They also found that by adding another variable to the equation, called a beta, which was used to describe just how predictable a given piece was compared to other pieces, they could solve for beta and find a unique number of for each composer.

After looking at the results as a whole, they found that works written by some classical composers were far more predictable than others, and that certain genres in general were more predictable than others too. Beethoven was the most predictable of the group studied, while Mozart was the least of the bunch. And symphonies are generally far more predictable than Ragtimes with other types falling somewhere in-between. In solving for beta, the team discovered that they had inadvertently developed a means for calculating a composer’s unique individual rhythm signature. In speaking with the university news group at McGill, Levitin said, “this was one of the most unanticipated and exciting findings of our research.”

Another interesting aspect of the research is that because the patterns are based on the power law, the music the team studied shares the same sorts of patterns as fractals, i.e. elements in the rhythm that occur the second most often happen only half as often, the third, just a third as often and so forth. Thus, it’s not difficult to imagine music in a fractal patterns that are unique to individual composers.

your just a couple of years TOO LATE though!

The Paks of course were outraged by the covert American raid in Abbottabad because it didn't give the treacherous tossers the opportunity to tip their shitty Saudi exile off! BOO HOO.
