This mind-bending bit of news has quite a few surprises and twists both in its inception, its source, and its content. The first surprise is that Google's own Niantic Labs is actually developing an MMO (massively mutlplayer online) video game. The second surprise is that although this game works like an MMO with millions of users across the globe playing together in real time, it doesn't use a traditional interface. This is a smartphone based augmented reality game. The third surprise is the content of the game will be a paranoid laced, global conspiracy theme that uses real world landmarks as points of reference to help move the story along. (It looks like they found some unique uses for Google Maps.)http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-news/229781-google-beta-new-augmented-reality-smartphone-based-conspiracy-mmo-ingress.html

Original Post from Ciro Villa:

Extraordinary!  Quantum teleportation achieved for two remote groups of atoms (atomic-ensemble) the for first time

"(Phys.org)—One of the key components of quantum communication is quantum teleportation, a technique used to transfer quantum states to distant locations without actual transmission of the physical carriers. Quantum teleportation relies on entanglement, and it has so far been demonstrated between single photons, between a photon and matter, and between single ions. Now for the first time, physicists have demonstrated quantum teleportation by entangling two remote macroscopic atomic ensembles, each with a radius of about 1 mm.

The researchers, led by Jian-Wei Pan of the Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, the University of Science and Technology of China in Hefei, and the University of Heidelberg in Germany, have published their paper on "Quantum teleportation between remote atomic-ensemble quantum memories" in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences."

The Federalist No. 45Alleged Danger From the Powers of the Union to the State Governments ConsideredIndependent JournalSaturday, January 26, 1788[James Madison]"The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government, are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected. The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State."Huh?  What happened?  Why is the fed so involved with what the state is supposed to be handling?

"Every child in America should be acquainted with his own country. He should read books that furnish him with ideas that will be useful to him in life and practice. As soon as he opens his lips, he should rehearse the history of his own country." --Noah Webster, On the Education of Youth in America, 1788Unfortunately, this doctrine went out the window during the mid-late 1900s.  Line 100 college grads up and ask them what this country's economic system is and I'll bet you only 1 may know.  Ask them what our government is based on and what is our model and I'll bet only 1 may know.  Totally sad and leads us to this false belief that we are entitled to this, that and everything else.  Well boys and girls, we are not entitled.  We are guaranteed Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  We were never guaranteed a hand out.  In fact our forebears were vehemently against it - for a reason.  That history goes clear back to Jamestown.

"A cover-up in the Obama administration? I know what you are thinking: No way; not the most transparent, patriotic administration ever. It must be an act of the gods or perhaps the Mayan calendar. But really, the recent resignation of General Petraeus from the position of director of the C.I.A. has to be related to Benghazi. Either that or to the Bermuda Triangle. Because here is another remarkable coincidence: Neither the FBI, nor United States Marines are responsible for the security of consulates and embassies. The C.I.A. is tasked with that job. ... Notice how quickly the deputy director who is replacing Petraeus is ready to stand before Congress next week and truthfully testify by saying, 'I don't know, Senator'?" --columnist John Ransom

"So the administration would have us believe that only after the election was the president told by the FBI that an investigation with possible national-security implications -- involving no less than the director of the Central Intelligence Agency -- has been going on since the summer. We're also to believe that the director's resignation after the election and before congressional hearings on Benghazi is purely coincidental. Not only that, but when the most powerful man in the world learned of the attack on our consulate in Benghazi, he immediately ordered that everything be done to secure all personnel at the site -- but apparently, everyone ignored him. So he did what any commander in chief would do under such circumstances -- he went to bed. Yes, they really do think we're that stupid." --attorney Peter Kirsanow

"Quite aside from the immediate effects of particular policies, Barack Obama has repeatedly circumvented the laws, including the Constitution of the United States, in ways and on a scale that pushes this nation in the direction of arbitrary one-man rule. Now that Obama will be in a position to appoint Supreme Court justices who can rubber stamp his evasions of the law and usurpations of power, this country may be unrecognizable in a few years as the America that once led the world in freedom, as well as in many other things. Barack Obama's boast, on the eve of the election of 2008 -- 'We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America' -- can now be carried out, without fear of ever having to face the voters again. This 'transforming' project extends far beyond fundamental internal institutions, or even the polarization and corruption of the people themselves, with goodies handed out in exchange for their surrendering their birthright of freedom." --economist Thomas Sowell

How much will Obamacare cost YOU?

Well, this is just your DIRECT expense, directly out of your income.  This doesn't touch the raising cost of the products and services you buy that will have to raise their prices because of THEIR higher costs... and this isn't about the ridiculously higher prices you're already paying on energy and the higher prices of energy yet to come thanks to this leftist president.

Lowest Fifth means your income is around $11,239, you'll pay $412 more/yr.
Middle fifth means your income is around $49,000, you'll pay $1,984 more/yr.
Highest fifth is $178,000 of income, you'll pay $14,173 more/yr.

So I saw that there are petitions from something like 15 states to leave the USA this morning.  I find it interesting that right after a National Election that was really close, no matter what BHO says, the petitions are stating a lack of faith in our Federal Government and their ability to follow our own Constitution.  THen I find this quote in my inbox:"Our peculiar security is in the possession of a written Constitution.

I was wrong. I predicted a 330 Electoral College victory for Romney and it turns out instead that Obama could well reach that number (assuming Florida ever finishes counting).

When they are told all these things and supinely accept them." --author Janet Miriam Taylor Caldwell (1900-1985)

Amazing!
A newly included natural scenery and hiking highlight in the UNESCO World Heritage List is the Wulong Karst. It has become one of the major attractions around Chongqing for people interested in primitive scenic areas, gorges, wildlife and caves. Wulong is one of the regions named on the World Heritage List’s South China Karst. Other areas named are Libo Karst and Shilin Karst. Three sites in Wulong are thought to be the most important. They are Furong Cave, the Three Natural Bridges, and the Houping Tiankengs.

You say it is impossible. If I should agree with you in this, I would still say, let us try the experiment, and preserve our equality as long as we can. A better system of education for the common people might preserve them long from such artificial inequalities as are prejudicial to society, by confounding the natural distinctions of right and wrong, virtue and vice." --John Adams, letter to Count Sarsfield, 1786

"No compact among men ... can be pronounced everlasting and inviolable, and if I may so express myself, that no Wall of words, that no mound of parchment can be so formed as to stand against the sweeping torrent of boundless ambition on the one side, aided by the sapping current of corrupted morals on the other." --George Washington, draft of first Inaugural Address, 1789

I'm still trying to come up with ideas for one of our "side yards".  It is 10 feet wide by 90 feet long, never sees the sun (north side of the house) and has a swale (not level) for water runoff.  <bleh/>

"It is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth - and listen to the song of that syren, till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it." --Patrick Henry, speech in the Virginia Convention, 1775

I spent the day yesterday with our daughter +Katya Barrows, her soon to be fiance Charles, our son Kyle and his soon to be fiance Baylee and my lovely wife +Kittery Barrows.  This is National Monument outside of Grand Junction, CO (http://www.nps.gov/colm/index.htm).  We had a blast driving and oohing and ahhing at everything.Now, for you parents out there you are well aware there is a group of genes most of us have called the "parent gene group".  These are the genes that make you rush to a fallen youngster, put them in time out for infractions, make sure they wash their hands for dinner, etc.  There is a special gene that seems to twist your insides up in knots when you watch your child climb a tree - way too high, ride their bike for the first time around that corner and out of sight - you know which one I'm talking about.  Well - that one turned on hard for me as I watched 2 of my kids and 2 future kids of mine cavort like mountain goats along the top of 300 and 400 foot cliffs!  And to top it off, if they were not there I would have been bouncing along the cliff edges myself.  Why did that gene decide to turn on so hard yesterday?!  I mean these are all perfectly good BASE jumping cliffs!!I hope you enjoy the pictures.  :)
