POPSMedusa From ancient times, the Medusa was immortalized in numerous works of art, including: * Medusa on the breastplate of Alexander the Great, as depicted in the Alexander Mosaic from Pompeii's House of the Faun (c. 200 BC) * The "Rondanini Medusa", a Roman copy of the Gorgoneion on the aegis of Athena * Medusa (oil on canvas) by Leonardo da Vinci * Perseus with the Head of Medusa (bronze sculpture) by Benvenuto Cellini (1554) * Medusa (oil on canvas) by Caravaggio (1597). * Tête de Méduse, by Peter Paul Rubens (1618) * Perseus Turning Phineus and his Followers to Stone (oil on canvas) by Luca Giordano (early 1680s). * Perseus with the Head of Medusa (marble sculpture) by Antonio Canova (1801) * Medusa (oil on canvas) by Arnold Böcklin (c. 1878) * Perseus (bronze sculpture) by Salvador Dalí

POPS The Camel In The Room 
His former imam from the Falls Church, Virginia mosque where he once worshipped has said so, and indeed has said that, as a Muslim, Major Hasan could do nothing else other than what he did. Note this phrase from the title: “US Terrorist Army Base.” Major Hasan is a psychiatrist, so he should know that projection–literally, “throwing off on the other person”–is one of the most common defenses that people employ when they think, or especially do, things of which they should, at the very least, be ashamed. But the most damning piece of evidence was Hasan’s infamous “Grand Rounds” that he delivered back in 2007 while at Walter Reed Hospital, titled “The Koranic World View As It Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military.” In that presentation, which any reader can view in its entirety at the above link, Hasan repeatedly cited and often quoted surah and ayah (i.e., chapter and verse) from the Koran to justify some very forthright, even brazen commentary on the relationships

POPSNew quantum algorithm helpes solving big problems. “Large-scale linear systems of equations exist in many fields, such as weather prediction, engineering, and computer vision”, says Harrow. “Quantum computers could supply serious improvements for these and many other problems. For example, a trillion-variable problem would take a classical computer at least a hundred trillion steps to solve, but using the new algorithm, a quantum computer could solve the problem in just a few hundred steps”. The solution could also be applied to other complex processes such as image and video processing, genetic analyses and even Internet traffic control. Sounds pretty good to me!
