The Lotka-Volterra model describes interactions between two species in an ecosystem, a predator and a prey. Since we are considering two species, the model will involve two equations, one which describes how the prey population changes and the second which describes how the predator population changes.
If we let R(t) and F(t) represent the number of hens and cougars, respectively, that are alive at time t, then the Lotka-Volterra model is:

dR/dt = a*R - b*R*F
dF/dt = e*b*R*F - c*F


where the parameters are defined by:

-a is the natural growth rate of hens in the absence of predation,
-c is the natural death rate of cougars in the absence of food,
-b is the death rate per encounter of hens due to predation,
-e is the efficiency of turning predated hens into cougars.

The model is much more complex with two predators.

FYI, this is the exact shit that made me raise the white flag in second semester college math, after living a high school life as one of the top math team geeks in the Midwest. Makes me cry.

Which one is the insurers?

Careful what you wish for. My guess is something like this:

Right after I finish reapplying my toenail polish.

Except for the slight sandal tan (which isn't bad, just less than ideal) and the ugly whatever-the-hell kind of jewelry that is, what the hell's wrong with those feet? Seem perfectly okay to me. I'm no connoseur, but WTF?

Curse you for making me read the politics board and that stupid fucking analogy.

You should view it more existentially. To bee or not to bee, that is the question.

So Bilmore's saying we should destroy Iraq? This is a bold new position.* I think Captain should form a Congressional Commission to investigate this alternative.



*uh, other than the fact that Dennis Miller used it in his stand-up routine a long time ago. turn the whole desert into glass or whatever.

1,2,3 .... yep, 5 per foot. It's an advantage over some others that come to mind.

Indeed. My golf team:

Vijay Singh $8,017,336
Ernie Els $1,627,184
Jason Gore $871,135
Alex Cejka $510,082
Mathias Gronberg $401,140
David Howell $224,450
Miguel A. Jimenez $109,398
Chris Couch $96,667
Ian Leggett $63,283
Camilo Villegas $16,300
Charley Hoffman $10,656
Steven Bowditch $8,299

Cash $44,070

You lost me. Is this your fantasy golf squad and last year's earnings? If so, how many people are in your fantasy league? 22? This actually sounds like fun. You have a group of friends that do it or is this part of your professional gambling efforts?

Exactly. Whatever.

But this is cool and it's too bad bilmore missed #1 (which I think RT must have posted here before).

The sad thing is that I had to go back and double check before I posted.
