The Self
Understanding What and Who We Are
When we look in the mirror, make plans, and think about anything there is always an inner understanding that we are a being. This understanding of being, or self, is extremely important for everything in life and not every animal is capable of such understanding. Lets explore what the self is and how it is developed.

Corruption of Wikipedia
http://knol.google.com/k/carl-hewitt-httpcarlhewittinfo/corruption-of-wikipedia/pcxtp4rx7g1t/5
Summary
Wikipedia's business model is generating Web traffic (primarily from search engines) for articles on conventional wisdom that are tightly controlled by a commune of mostly anonymous Administrators to motivate (financial) contributions.
However, according to Correa, Correa and Askanas:
"in Wikipedia, ultimate decisions about what constitutes 'encyclopedic fact' and what constitutes 'vandalism' devolve to a cadre of Internet bureaucrats with no other qualifications than their devotion to Wikipedianism... One of the main problems stems precisely from the fact that Wikipedia's de-facto arbiters of what constitutes 'science', 'information', 'fact', 'knowledge' - those who make it into the ranks of Wikipedia administrators ... are Internet technobureaucrats without any actual love of knowledge or any respect for those who spend their life fighting for it."
The purpose of this article is to explore issues regarding the corruption of Wikipedia. It does not address other Wikipedia issues.

Wikipedia discussion of "History of Logic Programming by Carl Hewitt" is available here.
Carl Hewitt is Emeritus in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He obtained his PhD in mathematics at MIT in 1971, under the supervision of Seymour Papert (adviser), Marvin Minsky, and Mike Paterson. From September 1989 to August 1990, Hewitt was the IBM Chair Visiting Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Keio University in Japan. He is known for his design of Planner (a pioneering Artificial Intelligence programming language), his work on concurrency (the Actor model), the Scientific Community Metaphor with Bill Kornfeld, and, most recently, on strongly paraconsistent logic (Direct Logic). Hewitt's Erdős number is 3 (by two different co-authors).

Warning

3rd December 2008
Google, the Internet search engine giant, is resorting to austerity measures, The Wall Street Journal reported.
http://infotech.indiatimes.com/News/Look_how_Google_is_cutting_costs/articleshow/3788131.cms
Prominent among them include cutting new projects.
Schmidt , CEO, said the company is “not going to give” an engineer 20 people to work with on certain experimental projects anymore.
Top executives say they remain committed to projects they believe hold long-term potential, but are prepared to “starve” lesser ones.

Chowdhry says contacts tell him Google's number of keywords sold is down 2% to 5%. He claims bids on keywords are down by as much as 20%.
