  Paul Humphreys - Extending Ourselves: Computational Science, Empiricism, and Scientific Method - Reviewed by Paul ...
Humphreys defends these conclusions mostly with examples from research in physics, but they also fit well with current practice in the cognitive sciences.
Humphreys seems to have doubts about some of the uses of computer models in economics and psychology, when they use mechanisms too simple or obscure to be plausibly operating in the systems studied.
Although Humphrey's book is in general an excellent philosophical discussion of the role of computational models in physics, I suspect that even there it underestimates the importance of explanation compared to prediction.

  Kenneth W. Winger and Paul R. Humphreys : Admin. Proc. Rel. No. 34-49565 / April 15, 2004
Humphreys, 44 years old, is a Canadian citizen, resides in Canada, and, at all relevant times, was licensed in Canada as a chartered accountant.
On December 12, 2002, Humphreys was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Southern District of New York on one count each of conspiracy, securities fraud, and bank fraud.
The Commission alleged, among other things, that Winger and Humphreys knowingly or recklessly engaged in a fraudulent accounting scheme in which Commission filings made by Safety-Kleen between November 1998 and March 2000, and press releases issued by the company during the same time period, contained materially false and misleading financial statements and disclosures.

As teenagers, Humphreys and McCluskey were involved in several unsigned Wirral bands, including Equinox, Pegasus, and the short-lived Hitlerz Underpantz.

 Humphreys family dairy to close after 94 years   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
HOT SPRINGS, Ark. (AP)--Mary Ellen Humphreys dabbed at the tears in her eyes, determined not to allow her emotions to get the best of her, but when she spoke, her voice became choked with the pain of someone who knows she is in the process of watching a nearly century-old family legacy disappear.
A number of reasons prompted the Humphreys family to sell the dairy and property surrounding it, according to Paul Humphreys, Sears brother, and one of five third-generation family members who have owned and operated the facility for a number of years.
Paul Humphreys said he believes the property will eventually be part of a growing number of subdivisions along Shady Grove, with what he said "I understand will be around 600 residential homesites, starting at (Lake Catherine) and coming back this way."

 [No title]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Humphreys does not dispute that he resigned effective December 31, 1999, and that the State removed him from management service, and returned him to classified service, effective January 1, 2000.
Humphreys argues, however, that he did not resign his position in the management service but rather was effectively terminated by the State.
Because we dismiss the appeal based on a lack of jurisdiction stemming from Humphreys' resignation from his management service position, it is not necessary to address Humphreys' contentions that the State's refusal to transfer him violated his State Personnel Relations Law (SPRL) rights, and amounted to a constructive discharge.

 OMD Biography
Founder members Andy McCluskey and Paul Humphreys had originally been inspired by the experimental electronic music of German bands such as Kraftwerk and Neu.
Working with radio sets and home made synthesisers, Humphreys and McCluskey christened themselves VCLXI (after a valve diagram on the sleeve of Kraftwerk's Radioactivity album) and began their own musical experiments.
This, however, was still a side project the pair indulged in on odd weekends while they were active in local bands such as Equinox, Pegasus and The Id. However, although they had gained a lot of experience from working in a traditional band environment, it was never quite the creative platform they were looking for.

 Humphreys, Paul - Extending Ourselves Books at Real Groovy New Zealand   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
Paul Humphreys draws a parallel between the ways in which such computational methods have enhanced our abilities to mathematically model the world, and the more familiar ways in which scientific instruments have expanded our access to the empirical world.
Humphreys also includes arguments for the primacy of properties rather than objects, the need to consider technological constraints when appraising scientific methods, and a detailed account of how the path from computational template to scientific application is constructed.
This last feature allows us to hold a form of selective realism in which anti-realist arguments based on formal reconstructions of theories can be avoided.
