Article inside Theory Explains the Origin, Evolution, and Nature of Life

By CoLDBloodED - 28 minutes ago

The earth is alive, asserts a revolutionary scientific theory of life emerging from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. The trans-disciplinary theory demonstrates that purportedly inanimate, non-living objectsfor example, planets, water, proteins, and DNAare animate, that is, alive. With its broad explanatory power, applicable to all areas of science and medicine, this novel paradigm aims to catalyze a veritable renaissance.

Erik Andrulis, PhD, assistant professor of molecular biology and microbiology, advanced his controversial framework in his manuscript Theory of the Origin, Evolution, and Nature of Life, published in the peer-reviewed journal, Life. His theory explains not only the evolutionary emergence of life on earth and in the universe but also the structure and function of existing cells and biospheres.

In addition to resolving long-standing paradoxes and puzzles in chemistry and biology, Dr. Andrulis theory unifies quantum and celestial mechanics. His unorthodox solution to this quintessential problem in physics differs from mainstream approaches, like string theory, as it is simple, non-mathematical, and experimentally and experientially verifiable. As such, the new portrait of quantum gravity is radical.

The basic idea of Dr. Andrulis framework is that all physical reality can be modeled by a single geometric entity with life-like characteristics: the gyre. The so-called gyromodel depicts objectsparticles, atoms, chemicals, molecules, and cellsas quantized packets of energy and matter that cycle between excited and ground states around a singularity, the gyromodels center. A singularity is itself modeled as a gyre, wholly compatible with the thermodynamic and fractal nature of life. An example of this nested, self-similar organization is the Russian Matryoshka doll.

By fitting the gyromodel to facts accumulated over scientific history, Dr. Andrulis confirms the proposed existence of eight laws of nature. One of these, the natural law of unity, decrees that the living cell and any part of the visible universe are irreducible. This law formally establishes that there is one physical reality.

Another natural law dictates that the atomic and cosmic realms abide by identical organizational constraints. Simply put, atoms in the human body and solar systems in the universe move and behave in the exact same manner.

Modern science lacks a unifying, interdisciplinary theory of life. In other words, current theories are unable to explain why life is the way it is and not any other way, Dr. Andrulis says. This general paradigm furnishes a fresh perspective on the character and meaning of life, offers solutions to protracted problems, and strives to end divisive debates.

One debate swirls around the scientific merit of James Lovelocks popular Gaia hypothesis. By showing that the earth is theoretically synonymous with life, Dr. Andrulis paradigm substantiates the Gaian premise that all organisms and their surroundings on earth are closely integrated to form a single self-regulating complex system.

Another legendary quarrel is that between biblical creationists and neo-Darwinian evolutionists. In demonstrating that the origin and evolution of life is a consequence of natural laws and physical forces, this theory synthesizes arguments and dispels assumptions from both sides of the creation-evolution debate.

To test his paradigm, Dr. Andrulis designed bidirectional flow diagrams that both depict and predict the dynamics of energy and matter. While such diagrams may be foreign to some scientists, they are standard reaction notation to chemists, biochemists, and biologists.

Dr. Andrulis has used his theory to successfully predict and identify a hidden signature of RNA biogenesis in his laboratory at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. He is now applying the gyromodel to unify and explain the evolution and development of human beings.

NBA Heat, Spurs, Knicks, Hawks and Clippers eyeing Kenyon Martin

By Dee Grande - 60 minutes ago

The Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers, Atlanta Hawks and New York Knicks are pursuing free-agent forward Kenyon Martin, according to league sources.

Martin has spoken with executives from each of the clubs and is hoping to make his decision next week.

The veteran of 11 NBA seasons will be eligible to sign and begin playing with a team as soon as the Xinjiang Guanghui Flying Tigers complete their season in the Chinese Basketball Association.

Martin signed a $2.6 million deal with Xinjiang during the lockout, but left the team in late December in hopes of returning to the NBA.

The CBA's rules, however, prohibit him from joining an NBA team until Xinjiang's season ends, whether after the regular season or the playoffs. Xinjiang is currently out of the playoffs, which means Martin could potentially sign with an NBA club when the CBA season ends Feb. 16.

NBA Nets tickets going for a penny on StubHub

By Dee Grande - 1 hour ago

If you cruise around ticket resale sites like StubHub long enough, you’ll find some astronomical prices for sports events and concerts. According to a Globe and Mail article yesterday, one suite for this year’s Super Bowl was listed on StubHub for US$882,375. As of 1 p.m. this afternoon, the cheapest seats were going for $2,500, while the current high prices for suites are in excess of half-a-million dollars. All things considered, the Super Bowl is arguably the most sought after ticket in North American sports, and resale numbers reflect that fervent demand.

But on the other side of the spectrum are the New Jersey Nets, currently playing out their final days at the Izod Center in East Rutherford before shipping out to Brooklyn next season. Through 19 regular season games, the Nets have six wins, and it’s debatable as to whether they can hold onto their one identifiable star player, Deron Williams, when he enters free agency. In other words, it's not a joyous scene at the Izod Center.

So how much are Nets tickets going for online? One cent.

That’s right—tickets for Sunday’s game against the Toronto Raptors are going for $0.01 on StubHub.
As of 1:30 this afternoon, nine separate listings—totalling 20 tickets—were offering upper bowl seats at one cent apiece. Twenty-six listings were selling entry at $1 or under. Four additional games in February have Nets home games going for a penny as well. Through Ticketmaster, the cheapest tickets for the same Nets/Raptors game cost $20.80 apiece (after the site’s fees).

And it’s not just Nets tickets that are going for severely deflated prices. In NBA markets with particularly bad teams, tickets are frequently sold below the $1 mark. Washington Wizards tickets have been sold for as little as $0.30 this season, according to the Washington Post’s Dan Steinberg. Other online chatter has said that Wizards and San Antonio Spurs seats have also been listed for a penny earlier this season.

Consumers have to pay for ticket delivery on StubHub, which is priced at $4.95 for an electronic download. Still, the total price comes to less than half the cost of admission at some movie theatres.

For a variety of reasons, the secondary ticket market can be a boon or an annoyance to sports franchises. In some cases, teams have partnerships with resale sites, allowing those franchises, like the New York Yankees and Dallas Mavericks, to receive a percentage of sales made on the secondary market. Meaning the Mavericks and Yankees are collecting money more than once for a single ticket. Not to mention that Yankees tickets, as an example, are highly sought after, often selling for greater than face value in the secondary market.

Further, it’s possible that fans who paid significantly reduced admission prices might be more inclined to spend on food and merchandise at the arena.

But it also means that some fans are paying full-price at the box office while the people next to them paid a fraction of face value for essentially the same seats. One New York sports executive told Sports Illustrated’s Jon Wertheim that he frequently responds to angry fan emails about this price discrepancy.

In New Jersey’s case, just imagine how a Nets fan would feel finding out the seat next to her went for the price of a Coke.

NBA Metta World Peace: I can still guard the top players.

By T2THEONE - 1 hour ago




Metta World Peace: I can still guard the top players. Full radio interview here


Metta World Peace joined ESPN Radio in Los Angeles to talk about whether or not something changed for him prior to the game the other night against the Clippers, if he can still be a good defensive player in the NBA, if he is still the same kind of defender he was when in his prime, on the Lakers/Clippers rivalry, and if he thinks he lost some of his edge when he changed his name to Metta World Peace.


Here are a few topics talked about


Whether or not something changed for him prior to the game the other night against the Clippers:

No I just think Im getting in shape. I planned on playing really hard this season but I

couldnt do that early on because I was out of shape. When I got in shape I wasnt playing

no minutes so I wasnt able to show the things that I was able to do. For the most part I

feel great. Yesterday was different because once the guys started talking to me I had to

come out of my shell a little bit, so it kind of woke me up. Former All-Star, former really good

player, I had teams where I led my own team and put up big numbers, had big defensive

games and I think guys forget because Im on a team with Kobe and Pau and I dont score

as much. I think sometimes they forget if I was taking 15 or 20 shots a game I could easily

give 30 a night or 20 a night. Sometimes guys forget who theyre playing against and who

theyre talking to.


If he can still be a great defensive player like he used to:

Not as well as I used to be able to. When I got Defensive Player of the Year almost all four

averaged six points against me but that was seven years ago. I can still play pretty good

defense. At 80 percent of that Im still one of the best defensive players in the league. I

dont know whos better. Im not even at full strength. I can still guard the top players and

things like that.



Whether or not he can be the player he was in the past on the defensive side of the ball:


Of course not because Im 32. I was in my prime athletically. Im getting older so theres no

way in the world Im going to be able to guard guys the same way. It doesnt mean I still

cant shut people down. I can still shut people down but on the same level? Absolutely not.

That was special back when.

NFL Browns add Brad Childress as O-boss

By HotBYoungTurk - 1 hour ago

Browns add Brad Childress as O-boss

CLEVELAND -- Pat Shurmur brought in a close friend to help him fix Cleveland's broken offense.

Shurmur hired former Minnesota coach Brad Childress as his first offensive coordinator on Friday, reuniting two coaches who spent seven seasons together on Andy Reid's staff with the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Browns confirmed Childress' hiring with a release that did not include any quotes.

Childress, who spent nearly five seasons with the Vikings before he was fired in 2010, will try to improve the Browns' dismal offense, which scored just 218 points last season, finished 29th in total yardage, 28th in rushing and 24th in passing. He'll also have input in the team's vital decision at starting quarterback -- a choice that could impact the club for years.

The 55-year-old Childress was a logical choice to join the Browns, who went 4-12 in their first season under Shurmur. In addition to being tight with Shurmur, Childress is familiar with the West Coast offense the Browns installed last year and he's represented by agent Bob Lamonte, who also has Shurmur and Browns president Mike Holmgren as clients.

Shurmur juggled both head coach and coordinator duties during a troublesome first season in Cleveland. It's believed Shurmur will initially call Cleveland's plays next season but he intends to turn things over to Childress, who recently interviewed for Tampa Bay's head coaching job. Childress has only one season (2006) of experience calling plays.

Childress is the third former NFL head coach on Shurmur's staff, joining defensive coordinator Dick Jauron and senior defensive assistant Ray Rhodes.

Childress was Philadelphia's offensive coordinator from 2003-05 when Shurmur coached the Eagles quarterbacks. While he was with the Eagles, Childress went to three straight NFC title games and the Super Bowl in 2004.

Shurmur was asked about Childress during his season-ending news conference on Jan. 3.

"I know Brad very well," Shurmur said. "He and I worked together for a long time. He's a terrific coach."

Childress went 39-35 in four-plus seasons with the Vikings, twice leading them to the playoffs and going 1-2. Minnesota won division titles in 2008 and 2009, when the Vikings made it to the NFC title game with quarterback Brett Favre, whom Childress had famously picked up at the airport. But after a 3-7 start in 2010, Childress was fired by owner Zygi Wilf one day after the Vikings were blown out at home by rival Green Bay.

The Browns considered hiring an offensive coordinator before last season but didn't find a suitable candidate. Holmgren suggested Shurmur maintain play-calling duties to control the offense and build a stronger bond with second-year quarterback Colt McCoy. Shurmur, though, seemed overwhelmed at times as the Browns had some communication breakdowns and time-management issues.

The addition of Childress should free up Shurmur during the week as he prepares for games.

"I think what it will do is allow me to just step back and look down one some things in some areas that I may be able to contribute more," Shurmur said after the season. "That's a key piece."

Cleveland Browns tap Brad Childress as offensive coordinator - ESPN




Brad isn't all that.. but hopefully he adds to the puzzle..

Dick Jauron really helped our defense with the transition to the 4-3.. had a pretty good defense for the most part..

maybe having an experience ex-head coach will do the same for our offense.. :shrug:

OT Woods Trails by Two After Second Round

By s7venwords - 1 hour ago

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Published: January 27, 2012

Tiger Woods moved into contention Friday with a three-under-par 69 in the second round of the Abu Dhabi Golf Championship in the United Arab Emirates, putting him two shots behind the leader, Thorbjorn Olesen of Denmark.

Olesen shot a 67, making seven birdies in his first 12 holes for a one-shot lead over two 18-year-olds, Gareth Maybin of Northern Ireland (70) and Matteo Manassero of Italy (65).

For me, its very special; its not many years ago I was watching them on TV, Olesen said of the worlds best golfers. I know its tough, but Im trying to keep playing my own game and do my best.

Woods had three straight birdies on the back nine to finish at five-under 139. He started slowly before making three birdies over five holes. Woods dropped a shot on the 16th after an errant drive landed in deep rough.

I thought I played well today, Woods said. I made a couple putts here and there, but it was tough out there. The greens got a little quicker, a little bit drier, and the rough is certainly getting deeper and more lush.

STANLEY TAKES LEAD Kyle Stanley overcame a double bogey on the 14th hole and shot a four-under-par 68 on the Torrey Pines South Course, giving him a one-shot lead over Brandt Snedeker in the Farmers Insurance Open at San Diego. Snedeker shot a 64 on the North Course.

Phil Mickelson shot a 68 on the North Course and missed the cut at his hometown tournament for the first time in 10 years. J. B. Holmes, in his first tournament since brain surgery last fall, shot a 69 on the North Course and missed the cut as well.

NFL Commish: 'Difficult times' good for NFL

By s7venwords - 1 hour ago

Associated Press
NEW YORK -- NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says the recession has helped build TV audiences for NFL games.


Speaking on CBS' "60 Minutes," to be aired Sunday, Goodell says the nearly 60 million people tuning in to watch last Sunday's conference championships show that.

"People want to feel part of a group, feel like they're connected, and right now during these difficult times, they can turn on free television and watch the greatest entertainment that's out there," Goodell says. "They can forget their worries for just a few hours."

Goodell also expresses his concern about getting fans to come to the stadium rather than watching at home.

"Our biggest challenge going forward is how do we get people to come to our stadiums because the experience is so great at home," he says. "When you turn on (a football game), you want to see a full stadium."

Goodell was given a five-year contract extension this week, through March 2019.

The NFL recently signed nine-year extensions with its broadcast partners and could bring in as much as $3 billion in broadcast revenues by 2022. The league's overall revenues for this year are projected to exceed $10 billion.

Goodell also discusses officiating on the program, mentioning meetings "to understand where we've made mistakes, where we can improve.

"The fastest way to hear from an owner is when a referee blows a call on the field, even after reviewing the videotape on a challenge," Goodell says.
