Terence Tao A little more Tao's parents were first generation immigrants from Hong Kong . His father (Chinese: 陶象國; Cantonese Yale: tòuh zoeng gwok; Hanyu Pinyin: Táo XiangGuo) is a medical doctor, and his mother, a BSc graduate from The University of Hong Kong, was formerly a secondary school teacher of Mathematics in Hong Kong. Both of his younger brothers, (Chinese: 哲淵; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhe Yuan) and (Chinese: 哲仁; Hanyu Pinyin: Zhe ren), are famous in Adelaide for their intelligence . Professor Tao's mother, Grace, said she and her husband had simply helped all three of their highly talented sons to follow their passions when young. In Terry's case, this meant ferrying him between classes at primary school, high school and university. "He just loves maths. His mind is always thinking about problems," Mrs Tao said Tao attended university at the age of nine. His father told the press that at the age of two, the baby Tao taught in a family gathering a 5-year-old kid counting and spelling. When asked by his father why he knew numbers and letters, he said he learnt them from Sesame Street .

Boy Genius At eight, he scored better than 99 per cent of 17-year-old prospective university students on an international aptitude test for mathematics. The Adelaide-born prodigy was appointed a professor at 24, and now, at 31, has become the first Australian to win a Fields Medal, the mathematics equivalent of a Nobel prize.

No stretch at all, Frank played Pvt. Angelo Maggio, in From Here to Eternity a great film. Sinatra and Ernest Borgnine went at it in film, Fatso calling Maggio "The Little Monkey" and telling Maggio that his time would come when he was in the Brig.

The link is found on Wgr550.com Peter King speaking with Mike Schopp and The Bulldog, his comments regarding Losman and the team are at about ten minutes into conversation. This is not new King has stated this a number of times this pre season in discussing the Bills, twice on WGR and other radio stations around the country . His point seems to be many of the veterans think Holcomb gives them the best chance to win. This is the same stuff we heard last year , obviously not a good thing if it at all close to being true.

How To Detect Bullsh-- BS detection The first rule of BS is to expect it. Fire detectors are designed to expect a fire at any moment: they’re not optimists. They fixate on the possibility of fires and that’s why they save lives. If you want to detect BS you have to swallow some cynicism, and add some internal doubt to everything you hear. Socrates, the father of western wisdom, based his philosophy around the recognition, and expectation, of ignorance. It’s far more dangerous to assume people know what they’re talking about, than it is to assume they don’t and let them prove you wrong. Be like Socrates: assume people are unaware of their own ignorance (including yourself) and politely, warmly, probe to sort out the difference. The first detection tool is a question: How do you know what you know?

Tedai Marathon Monks Only 46 men have completed the 1,000-day challenge since 1885. It takes seven years to complete, as the monks must undergo other Buddhist training in meditation and calligraphy, and perform general duties within the temple. The first 300 days are basic training, during which the monks run 40km per day for 100 consecutive days. In the fourth and fifth years they run 40km each day for 200 consecutive days. That's more or less a full marathon every day for more than six months. The final two years of the 1000-day challenge are even more daunting. In the sixth year they run 60km each day for 100 consecutive days and in the seventh year they run 84km each day for 100 consecutive days. This is the equivalent of running two Olympic marathons back-to-back every day for 100 days. Not only do they wear clothes and shoes unsuited to running, but they have to carry books with directions and mantras to chant, food to offer along the way, candles for illumination, as well as a sheathed knife and a rope, known as the 'cord of death'. These remind the monk of his duty to take his life if he fails, by hanging or self-disembowelment. The course is littered with unmarked graves, marking the spot where monks have taken their own lives. However, there have been no cases of monks' suicides since the nineteenth century. And then there is the doiri, where the monk faces seven days without food, water or sleep or rest. During this time the monk will spend his entire day reciting Buddhist chants and mantras - perhaps up to 100,000 each day. The only time the monk will leave the temple is at 2am to walk the 200m to a well and return with water to make an offering. He is not allowed to drink any himself and the 200m walk can take up to two hours in the final days of the fast. During his time spent meditating there are two monks who are in constant attention to ensure that he does not fall asleep. For several weeks before doiri, the monk will reduce his food intake so his body can cope with the fast. The first day is no problem, but there is some nausea on the second and third days. By the fourth and fifth days the hunger pangs have disappeared, but the monk has become so dehydrated that there is no saliva in his mouth and he will begin to taste blood. The purpose of doiri is to bring the monk face-to-face with death. During this fast, the monks develop extraordinary powers of sense. They talk of being able to hear the ashes of incense sticks fall to the ground and, perhaps unsurprisingly, of the ability to smell food being prepared miles away.

Wish you might reconsider the resuming the alcohol thing. It’s a thought that you do the same things and go to the same places you will end up the same.

You are one of the Walls good people.... you are appreciated

It is alright to give WGR credit for some good radio during this past winter and spring. Brad and the others did do a good job in having many of the Sabre players, coaches , management on from day to day, for those who followed the Sabres and found much enjoyment in this past season, WGR was very much part of telling the story. The station does get some things right. Good for them.

20 x 100 = $8 Million Manhattan East Side lot where a townhouse stood until a doctor blew it up so that his ex-wife couldn't profit from its sale is on the market. The price tag for the lot: $8 million. A real estate broker says there has been "a lot, a lot, a lot of interest" in the 20-by-100-foot lot on East 62nd Street. Dr. Nicholas Bartha died July 15th, five days after authorities say he caused a gas explosion to level the mansion so that his former wife couldn't benefit from its sale. The 124-year-old mansion was worth $4 million, according to court papers filed by Bartha's daughter. The listing for the vacant lot reads: "Seize this opportunity to build your dream house!"

Alan Pergament About halfway down column Pergament notes: WGR gets its share of criticism here, but you can't argue with success. According to figures supplied by programmer Andy Roth, it was the No. 1 rated sports station in the nation during the spring ratings period of March 30 to June 21. The channel benefited greatly during those months from carrying the Buffalo Sabres run to the Eastern Conference finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Mike Schopp was mentioning it often last week.

With todays exchange you could purchase this palace for $410,634 American , $462,000 American = $519,972 Canadian $462,000 Canadian = $410,634 American Canadian $1.00 = $.88882 American The days of the Canadian dollar being a great deal lower are gone , at least for awhile.

Now this is Expensive and also very very crazy I wonder what a newer home might cost... yikes
