Cameron to reveal contacts in response to scandal www.euronews.com David Cameron, battling to contain a fundraising scandal, has promised to disclose his own contacts with donors to the ruling Conservatives. The British prime minister has acknowledged having had dinner meetings with major contributors to his party, but insists the meetings were all above board. He said: "None of these dinners were fundraising dinners. And none of these dinners were paid for by the taxpayer. I have known most of those attending for many years. Let me add that Peter Cruddas has never recommended any one to come to dinner in my flat, nor has he been to dinner there himself." Cruddas, a Conservative party treasurer has resigned after being caught on camera offering meetings with the prime minister in return for big contributions. Cameron's opponents want an independent inquiry. Michael Dugher, a Labour MP said: "There has got to be a balance struck here. But there is a sense in Westminster that David Cameron routinely uses private engagements as cover really for things that are not private engagements. So, I think we have got to see far more transparency and disclosure from the prime minister." Cameron has distanced himself from Peter Cruddas and described his activities as "unacceptbable." However, analysts say the affair may yet undermine the premier, who promised to clean up British politics after last year's expenses scandal that affected all the main parties.

Authors@Google: Sharon Bertsch McGrayne "The Theory That Would Not Die" How Bayes' Rule Cracked the Enigma Code, Hunted Down Russian Submarines, and Emerged Triumphant from Two Centuries of Controversy" Bayes' rule appears to be a straightforward, one-line theorem: by updating our initial beliefs with objective new information, we get a new and improved belief. To its adherents, it is an elegant statement about learning from experience. To its opponents, it is subjectivity run amok. In the first-ever account of Bayes' rule for general readers, Sharon Bertsch McGrayne explores this controversial theorem and the human obsessions surrounding it. She traces its discovery by an amateur mathematician in the 1740s through its development into roughly its modern form by French scientist Pierre Simon Laplace. She reveals why respected statisticians rendered it professionally taboo for 150 years%mdashat the same time that practitioners relied on it to solve crises involving great uncertainty and scanty information, even breaking Germany's Enigma code during World War II, and explains how the advent of off-the-shelf computer technology in the 1980s proved to be a game-changer. Today, Bayes' rule is used everywhere from DNA de-coding to Homeland Security. Sharon Bertsch McGrayne is the author of numerous books, including Nobel Prize Women in Science: Their Lives, Struggles, and Momentous Discoveries and Prometheans in the Lab: Chemistry and the Making of the Modern World.

Cheat Your Friends At A Fair Coin Toss! Scam School

[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 03:16:54 09/16/10
The Setup: using a totally fair quarter, you and your friend will place bets on which sequence of coin tosses are most likely to come first... while it looks totally fair, you'll have up to a 7 to 1 advantage over them! The Scam: This is an old math problem called "Penney's Game". In this game, each player chooses a 3-digit sequence of coin flips... a coin is flipped over and over again, and whomever's sequence of heads and tails comes first, wins. in other words, player 1 may choose HTH (heads, tails, heads) as his sequence, while player 2 would choose HHT. when the coin is flipped, the results may be: TTHTTHHT, in which case, player 2 would win. The Trick: you can always get an advantage over your opponent by going second, and choosing your pattern based on what they pick. The algorithm is simple: just take the first two digits of their pick, and move them to the last 2 spots in your pick. For your first digit, choose the OPPOSITE of whatever your last digit is. For example: if they choose, HHT, you'll take their first two digits (HH) and move them to the back for your pick: _HH. to choose your first digit, pick the opposite of your last digit... so you'd pick THH. check out the full wikipedia article for your exact odds, but if you follow these steps, you'll win MUCH more often than lose!
