More From Charles Sanders Peirce

It has been pointed out already that no knowledge of probabilities, less in degree than certainty, helps us to know what conclusions are true, and that there is no direct relation between the truth of a proposition and its probability. probability begins and ends with probability.
Truth Math Degrees
Most people have some appreciation of mathematics, just as most people can enjoy a pleasant tune; and there are probably more people really interested in mathematics than in music. appearances suggest the contrary, but there are easy explanations. music can be used to stimulate mass emotion, while mathematics cannot; and musical incapacity is recognized (no doubt rightly) as mildly discreditable, whereas most people are so frightened of the name of mathematics that they are ready, quite unaffectedly, to exaggerate their own mathematical stupidity

Srinivasa ramanujan was the strangest man in all of mathematics, probably in the entire history of science. he has been compared to a bursting supernova, illuminating the darkest, most profound corners of mathematics, before being tragically struck down by tuberculosis at the age of 33, like riemann before him. working in total isolation from the main currents of his field, he was able to rederive 100 years' worth of western mathematics on his own. the tragedy of his life is that much of his work was wasted rediscovering known mathematics.

People at civil-liberties organizations say it's a sea change, and that it's very clear judges have begun to question more critically assertions made by the executive. even though it seems so obvious now, it is extraordinary in the context of the last decade, because courts had simply said they were not the best branch to adjudicate these claims - which is completely wrong, because they are the only nonpolitical branch. they are the branch that is specifically charged with deciding issues that cannot be impartially decided by politicians.
Sea Organization Issues
Real writers-that is, capital w writers-rarely make much money. their biggest reward is the occasional reader's response.... commentators-in-print voicing big fat opinions-you might call us small w writers-get considerably more feedback than writers. the letters i personally find most flattering are not the very rare ones that speak well of my editorials, but the occasional reader who wants to know who writes them. i always happily assume the letter-writers is implying that the editorials are so good that i couldn't have written them myself.
Real Writing Letters
It's really not a stretch. the checks and balances are the same. the drums are the executive branch. the jazz orchestra is the legislative branch. logic and reason are like jazz solos. the bass player is the judicial branch. one our greatest ever is milt hinton, and his nickname is "the judge."

Player Years Differences
Something interesting has happened over the last 10 years in the premier league. players who once would have been discarded as expensive and too old have become important parts of title-winning squads.
