The Nucleon Electric Dipole Moment in Light-Front QCD

I present an exact relationship between the electric dipole moment and anomalous magnetic moment of the nucleon in the light-front formalism of QCD and consider its consequences.Comment: 5 pages, LaTeX, based on talks at CAQCD, Minneapolis, MN, May 11-14, 2006 and at CIPANP, Puerto Rico, May 30- June 3, 2006, to appear in the proceeding

Partnership or PR? Chevron in Bangladesh

Chevron are investing in communities and promoting human rights in Bangladesh, claiming that partnership with communities is not just good business practice, but crucial for social progress. But are these real partnerships - publishing what they pay, supporting anti-corruption measures and being accountable

A Reverse Hex Solver

We present Solrex,an automated solver for the game of Reverse Hex.Reverse Hex, also known as Rex, or Misere Hex, is the variant of the game of Hex in which the player who joins her two sides loses the game. Solrex performs a mini-max search of the state space using Scalable Parallel Depth First Proof Number Search, enhanced by the pruning of inferior moves and the early detection of certain winning strategies. Solrex is implemented on the same code base as the Hex program Solver, and can solve arbitrary positions on board sizes up to 6x6, with the hardest position taking less than four hours on four threads.Comment: Presented at Computers and Games 2016 Leiden, International Conference on Computers and Games.

Towards a Precision Determination of alpha in B \to pi pi Decays

An assumption of isospin symmetry permits the determination of sin(2 alpha) from the experimental study of B\to pi pi decays. Isospin, however, is merely an approximate symmetry; its breaking predicates a theoretical systematical error sigma_\alpha^{\rm IB} in the extraction of alpha. We focus on the impact of \pi^0-\eta,\eta^\prime mixing, as well as the manner in which it is amenable to empirical constraint, and determine that \sigma_\alpha^{\rm IB} can potentially be controlled to {\cal O}(1^\circ).Comment: 17 pages, REVTeX, 1 eps figure; some results altered, conclusions unchange

\u27Cause the Bible Told Me So

To The Editor: For years I have been entertained by letters calling attention to what the Bible has to say about homosexuality, masturbation, wine drinking, and kindred topics. Are these letter writers aware, I wonder, that the Old Testament condones smoking

Magic with Bizarre Poems

A strange collection of poems entitled Shadows in the Moonlight, was written and privately printed in Los Angeles in 1927 by T. page Wright, a Hollywood script writer. Wright was a skillful amateur magician who wrote the poems so that the book could be used for performing a feat of mental magic. Each of the 22 poems is so constructed that the nineteenth word is rose and the thirty-first word is love. The book originally sold in magic stores for five dollars, but is now extremely scarce
