On another topic, perhaps better saved for another day (and yet we are perhaps witnessing this very law in action as we speak, both in the market and the election): Scientists have recently discovered a previously unrecognised law of nature: no matter what the system, all follow a single universal pattern of change. Mathematically, this pattern is known as a "power law" and , until recently, it was virtually unknown outside physics. However, now that science is looking, its footprints can be seen everywhere. There is, it seems, an archetypal organization working in the world at all levels - the so-called "principle of universality". This discovery heralds what the author calls the new science of "ubiquity" and here documents the coming revolution that this discovery will bring. newscientist.com

The Republicans just made an awful blunder. They filed an appeal of the hand recount in a FEDERAL court because they couldn't get around Florida election law allowing the request for a hand recount. This from guys who preach states rights. They have stepped right into Jesse Jackson's parlor. Watch this escalate into a civil rights dispute. What a bunch of idiots, going to a Federal court with a state district court matter. They are about to get their heads handed to them. Jim
