GeneID: 103
ADAR adenosine deaminase, RNA-specific

This gene encodes the enzyme responsible for RNA editing by site-specific deamination of adenosines. This enzyme destabilizes double stranded RNA through conversion of adenosine to inosine. Mutations in this gene have been associated with dyschromatosis symmetrica hereditaria. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.

There are 100 prisoners locked up in solitary cells. There is a central living room with one light bulb; the light bulb is initially off. No prisoner can see the light bulb from his cell. Every day, the warden picks a prisoner at random (i.e., the warden may pick one prisoner multiple days in a row), and that prisoner is taken to the living room. In the room, the prisoner can do one of three things: 1) toggle the light switch, 2) do nothing, or, 3) assert that all 100 prisoners have been in the living room at least once. If this assertion is false, all 100 prisoners are shot. If it is true, they go free. Before they were locked up, they got an hour to discuss a plan. What should be their strategy?

138 AD: February 25 — Roman emperor Hadrian adopts Antoninus Pius on condition that Antoninus adopt Marcus Annius Aurelius Verus.
On Hadrian's death, the Senate, which had been stripped of power during his reign, refuses to deify him. Some speak of declaring him a tyrant, canceling his acts.

One possible solution:

I think the key is the meeting.  If they assign one person to be the counter and everytime he enters the room he checks the switch.  If it is in the up position then he turns it off, otherwise he does nothing.  Each prisoner is told to check the light switch and if it is off they can turn it on.  But they can only do it once.  Every other time they enter the room they do nothing.  Once the counter detects the switch has been flicked up 99 times he says 100 visitors have entered and all the prisoners can go free.  If they did this once a day it would take years to get all 100 in the room.

Evagrius Ponticus considered 153 to represent a harmonization of contrasts, since 153 = 100 + 28 + 25, with 100 a square, 28 a triangle and 25 a circle.
Since 153 = 13 + 53 + 33, it is a 3-narcissistic number, and it is a Friedman number since 153 = 3 * 51. It is a Harshad number in base 10.153 can also be written as 1! + 2! + 3! + 4! + 5!.

Constitution Day panel bemoans document's "ossified", "anachronistic", "anti-democratic" principles

Professors Mark Tushnet, Sanford Levinson, Michael Klarman, Alexander Keyssar, and Charles Fried presented a wide range of views on the Constitution's enduring merits.

On the 222nd anniversary of the adoption of the United States Constitution at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Harvard University fulfilled its federally mandated celebration of the Constitution by convening a panel of experts to examine what aspects of the document deserve to be celebrated and what parts are deserving of our criticism. Moderated by Nancy Rosenblum, the Senator Joseph S. Clark Professor of Ethics and Chair of the Department of Government at the Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the panel featured Harvard Law School Professors Charles Fried, Michael Klarman, and Mark Tushnet, along with Kennedy School Professor Alexander Keyssar and visiting professor Sanford Levinson of the University of Texas School of Law. Professor Rosenblum recognized that the statutory requirement of recognizing the value of the Constitution may seem a bit heavy-handed, but she affirmed that it is a cause worth taking up, given the depressing statistic that more Americans can name the Three Stooges than the three branches of the federal government. But while the average American may seem to be growing more ignorant of the constitution with each passing day, the diversity and intensity of the panelists' opinions revealed a document which has only grown more controversial with the passage of time.

Professor Fried began by pointing out the reverence the Constitution enjoys in popular culture, a mythical sort of status occupied only by importand documents that few people have read and even fewer understand, like the Bible. This reverence, he noted, is a cause for suspicion for academic experts who believe that such sentimentalism interferes with analytical rigor. Nonetheless, Fried affirmed the basis for this reverence, citing the fact that there are reasons to believe that our Constitution has "made" us in a cultural and legal sense, and that it is, as a document, written in a terse and admirable style which reflects its statesman writers. It is also unusual, said Fried, that we would have such reverence for the Constitution, when Americans generally have quite a low opinion of government. "Congress," said Fried, "stands lower in the public esteem than even journalists."

Professors Klarman, Keyssar, and Levinson were openly skeptical of the need to celebrate the Constitution, pointing out its ossification of absurd and discriminatory policies, its anachronistic conceptualization of government and democracy, and the chaotic and anti-democratic elements of the national government it sets forth. Professor Klarman stated that much of what the Framers enshrined in the document represents values that we should today abhor or reject. For example, the constitutional protection of slave holding and the slave trade, as well as the Framers' aspiration of creating a distant, inaccessible national government reflect values that many today would consider un-American. Many of the document's provisions also create binding problems that distort the shape of our government, such as the equal number of senators representing each state, the structure of the electoral college, and the "natural born" requirement of presidential qualification.

Luckily, he said, our present political reality makes the actual text of the Constitution largely irrelevant. Given the present role of the Supreme Court as the source of Constitutional law, the nation has managed to move beyond the constraints of the original text and create the modern administrative state, a federal government of vast powers, and a powerful executive with broad authority to wage war, bypass treaties, and set the national agenda. Unfortunately, the Courts have failed to protect rights except where supported by public opinion. According to Klarman, landmark cases such as Brown v. Board of Education, Griswold v. Connecticut, and decisions extending gender equality came only after the national consensus had moved well beyond the Supreme Court's, thus making the Court more reflective than constitutive of our values.

Professor Keyssar of the Kennedy School lamented the state of voting rights under the Constitution, pointing to the explicit delegation of national voting policy to the state legislatures as an abdication which inevitably created chaos throughout our history. For instance, the winner-take-all aspect of our present electoral system is a byproduct of the pressure put on state political parties to give their favored candidates as great an advantage as possible, a fact which led even Thomas Jefferson, who originally been a strong supporter of district-level electoral voting, to abandon his principles for political gain. But while decentralized control of voting can be indicted for incentivizing irrational competition among states and provincial discrimination against the minority of choice, Professor Keyssar highlighted the overriding positive result of our multiplicitous system: the expansion of voting rights. No matter how invidious the discrimination in some districts, whether against blacks, asians, or all foreigners, there were others where expansive rights prevailed, lighting the way for broad national suffrage.

Professor Levinson joined the chorus, calling for us to cease venerating our 18th Century constitution and confront the need for reform. He qualified his criticism by praising the Preamble as a serious and relentlessly secular invitation to a serious discussion of policy. Compared to other, modern constitutions, Levinson said that our constitution has almost nothing to be admired, even if only considering the explanation of individual rights. He expressed concern that the veto, as an unqualified power to override a popular vote of Congress, creates an indefensibly anti-democratic tri-cameral system with one branch occupied by a single, unfettered individual. He also said that the process established by Article V for amendment of the Constitution has made it, as a practical matter, impossible to achieve any meaningful reform. "To say that decisions made in 1787 should bind us today because those decisions were made by great men," he observed, "is like saying that we should be bound to the structure of the U.N. Security Counsel because the political needs of Stalin and Churchill were part of the logic of its formation."

Despite the virulent criticism, the defense of the Constitution was not entirely abandoned. Professor Tushnet took on the role, though with some admitted awkwardness, by pointing out that most of the Constitution's structural and textual deficiencies have either become irrelevant, overruled, or could potentially be worked around if they really presented a challenge to our social values. He pointed to the functional mechanism of changing the composition of the Supreme Court by controlling the presidency as the central means of actualizing societal values in the face of an ossified constitution. Although this mechanism appears to be impotent to alter structural elements like the shape of the electoral college or the composition of the Senate, Tushnet expressed support for bypassing these difficulties with plans such as the national popular vote initiative to change the Electoral College through state action and the use of the House of Representatives' rules to require any law it votes upon to first receive support from Senators representing a majority of the national population. In reply to the criticisms of the Senate, Professor Fried pointed out that the notion of the Senate being "self-evidently absurd" rests on a democratic myth which is not substantiated by the text of the Constitution itself, which vests in states the power to act as decentralized governmental entities outside the national political sphere.

The 228 Massacre

From Wikipedia (http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/228_Incident):

The 228 Incident, also known as the 228 Massacre, was an anti-government uprising in Taiwan that began on February 27, 1947 and was violently suppressed by the Kuomintang  (KMT) government. Estimates of the number of deaths vary from ten thousand to thirty thousand or more.[1][2]  The Incident marked the beginning of the Kuomintang's White Terror period in Taiwan, in which thousands more Taiwanese vanished, were killed, or imprisoned. The number "228" refers to the day the massacre began: February 28, or 02-28.[/list]
 
See also: http://www.taiwandc.org/228-intr.htm (http://www.taiwandc.org/228-intr.htm)

From the inside cover of George H. Kerr's Formosa Betrayed (1965, Houghton Mifflin):

After the Japanese surrender in 1945, the Formosans, despite the Cairo Declaration, hoped for a guaranteed neutrality under American or international trusteeship. Instead, they were delivered over to another and more oppressive occupation.

Their prosperous society was invaded by a horde of mainland Chinese, often brutal, ignorant, and greedy -- the dregs of the Nationalist army. The new governor, under orders, bled the island dry, ruthlessly and with dispatch.

Yet still the Formosans hoped. American propaganda, promising freedom to all oppressed peoples, and citing the glorious Revolution of 1776, continued to pour in upon them. In February 1947 unarmed Formosans rose en masse to demand reforms in the administration at Taipei. Chiang Kai-shek's answer was a brutal massacre. Thousands died -- first among them were the leaders who had asked for American help. Washington turned a deaf ear, while the Chinese communists rejoiced.

After Chiang's military collapse and retreat to Formosa the situation became even worse. As American emotional commitment to Chiang became more fervent, Formosan hope for American or United Nations intervention or understanding faded and died.

230 Protects Newspaper from Liability for Reader Comments--Collins v. Purdue (http://http://blog.ericgoldman.org/archives/2010/04/230_protects_ne.htm)

By Eric Goldman

Collins v. Purdue University, 2010 WL 1250916 (N.D. Ind. March 24, 2010)

The plaintiff, Timothy J. Collins, III, is a Purdue student. The defendant in this ruling is Federated Publications, which publishes a Lafayette, Indiana daily newspaper, the Journal & Courier (http://http://www.jconline.com/).

On Jan. 13, 2007, Collins was assaulted on campus and sought hospital treatment. Separately, another Purdue student, Wade Steffey, was reported missing and last seen on Jan. 12. (Months later, Steffey was discovered dead on campus--as far as I can tell, his death still has not been satisfactorily explained).

In mid-January, the police started investigating Collins in connection with Steffey's disappearance. On Feb. 5, the police charged Collins with "False Informing" for alleged misinformation Collins had provided to the police. On Feb. 10, the Journal & Courier reported on Collins' Feb. 5 charges in an article, "Student Who Reported Mugging Charged," published both online and off. The article led some readers to infer that Collins was involved in Steffey's disappearance, a topic explored in the online article's "vitriolic and hateful" user comments. The court recaps that "The posting of these readers' comments fueled the suspicious, charged atmosphere on campus at that time and inflamed the frenzied efforts to unravel the Steffey mystery."

This opinion doesn't explicitly say why Collins is on a litigation tear, but I infer that Collins believes he was improperly linked to the Steffey disappearance and was subjected to some harsh treatment by those who made that link. In this ruling, Federated Publications seeks to exit his lawsuit (although many other defendants are left).

Federated defends Collins' libel and false light claims on 47 USC 230, saying part of his claims are based on third party comments. Collins responded that the newspaper website doesn't qualify as a provider/user of an interactive computer service, an argument that goes nowhere. Instead, the court treats this as easy case (which it is):

Federated can be held liable for defamatory statements in its own material published on the website-such as the article if the article was defamatory-but cannot be held liable for the publication of remarks or postings by third parties. Like the defendant in Dimeo, Federated did not create or develop the posted comments and cannot be held responsible for them. Also like Dimeo, none of the facts before the court show any encouragement by Federated for readers to comment on the website articles in a defamatory way. Moreover, Collins has made no assertions in either his First Amended Complaint or his response briefs suggesting that Federated engaged in any of the revisions or redrafting discussed in Nemet or applied any editorial function whatsoever over the comments posted by the readers on its website. Collins himself titles these counts in his First Amended Complaint as "reader comments," making them unattributable to Federated. Because Federated is immune from liability for the third-party content posted on its website by the CDA, Collins' claims charging Federated with liability for the third-party postings on its website fail.[/list]

To get around this, Collins tried an "inducement" style attack on 230, but the court rejected that as well:

Federated did nothing to induce any readers to post a commentary on the article nor to express a preference for a particular viewpoint in the posts. Nowhere in Collins' Amended Complaint is the assertion that Federated chose the particularly hateful and denigrating posts over a batch of kinder, gentler comments. Nor does Collins suggest that any of Federated's staff writers or editors were responsible for the particular posts or their content. To the contrary, Collins has identified these posts on the website as "reader comments" or "reader posts", and taking Collins at his word, Federated cannot be liable for the statements made by these third-parties.[/list]

Note that 230 should have applied even if Federated had done some of these things--especially making editorial judgments about user comments--but the court didn't need to be more precise because Collins' argument failed on the facts he was working with. So in the end, this is an easy 230 case holding that the newspaper isn't liable for the online user comments.

The newspaper wins on other grounds too. The emotional distress claims were dismissed because the newspaper article was not outrageous or published with the requisite scienter; the libel and false light claims were dismissed because of the veracity of the story's exact words; and the statute of limitations also applied.

Pacific 231 (http://http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rfysyex_DAk) by Artur Honegger
Utah Symphony Orchestra; Maurice Abravanel, conductor[/list]

YouTube clip Description:
In 1923, steam locomotives, the height of modern technology, were fast and exciting. Although airplanes were newer, and automobiles and roads were quickly improving, steam was still the prime mover of high-speed transport. The excitement of seeing a huge working locomotive flash by spewing steam, smoke and cinders is hard to describe. Their eerie whistles were at once frightening and exhilarating. Trains were a symbol of technology improving people's lives, of the hope for an exciting new future. This is especially poignant so soon after World War I, where technology was used to create previously unimagined horrors. The Music: The 1923 Mouvement Symphonique "Pacific 231" of Arthur Honegger is the driving force behind this video. The video's visual elements are collected from many sources, and are added to the music so that those who've never experienced the sheer power and awesome speed of steam might have some notion of what the composer saw.[/list]

Selected material (introduction):

Pacific 231 =
Pacific type locomotive
2 guide wheels
3 driver wheels
1 trailing wheel
[/list][/list]
"I have always had a passionate love for locomotives. To me they are living things and I love them.... That which I have endeavored to portray in Pacific 231 is not an imitation of the noises of the locomotive, but the translation into music of the visual impressions and the physical sensation of it.... Its point of departure is an objective contemplation: the quiet respiration of an engine in repose; the effort in starting; the progressive increase of speed, passing from the static to the dynamic state of an engine of 300 tons driven in the night at a speed of 120 miles per hour. As a subject I have taken an engine of the Pacific type, known as 2-3-1, an engine for heavy trains of high speed..."[/list]
