The Spectrum Health Network is not television, rather a real time digital signage network. Health needs to be incorporated or implied in the design and the colors must look good on a screen as background to text and animated health topics.
The Spectrum Health Network
Accepted File Formats:
Standard Web Formats (.jpg, .gif or .png); Vector Formats (.eps, .pdf or .ai)
The Spectrum Health Network is an out-of-home advertising network that resides in doctor's patient waiting rooms through the U.S. The Network is a 3 panel split screen playing public health messages and local practice information. The business has three constituents: medical groups advertisers and end-users (patients.) The Spectrum Health Network's logo design should present a professional image to all three, but also link all three is some way (show the connection). Because we are on large flat panel monitors a 4:3 ratio is preferred, but not necessary.  The logo will also be used as flash animation on the screen throughout the playlist.   Our digital signage network allows advertisers to reach consumers at a decision making (ask your doctor) point of purchase.  We use advanced technologies through the internet to provide real time programming. Our product allows great medical group control, however, health in general is slow to adapt to new technologies....so the image/logo must be a little conservative.  Â

Little kid, maybe two, three years old, you pick them up in the air, hold them way over your head, and they're cackling and laughing and squealing with delight; finally, you set them back down. And what do they always say?
Then want you to do it again. So you do it again, and they're as squealy as the first time, if not more so. You set 'em back down…
And you do it again.
And again. And again. And again. And again.
Till you can't do it anymore. Your arms are aching. Your back is in spasms. You're completely out of breath. You're done. But they're not.
"No more 'Uppie!' I'm tired."
"I can't do it anymore."
That's little kids. It's also regular watchers of television series.
Many regular watchers of television series are adults. I am not comparing them to children. Except in this one area.
The "Uppie!" area.
What makes a successful television series? (I limit myself, as I did throughout my career, to comedies.) Lots of things. An appealing cast. Consistently funny writing. An interesting arena. And also – and I'm not certain where it ranks on the scale of importance to a series' success, but I think pretty high –
Audiences respond when a series plays the same tune every week. Of course, this assumes they liked the tune in the first place. If they did, what follows, for the run of the series, is the half-hour comedy version of "Uppie!"
Every episode reiterates the story in the pilot. The characters remain one-dimensionally consistent. The jokes are modular replacements of the establishing original joke. And then there are the catchphrases, repeated, generally once per episode for the duration of the series:
"Here come de judge!"
"Did I do that?"
"How are you doin'?"
"Pretty…pretty good."
Catchphrases are the purest form of "Uppie!"
It's an occupational hazard for writers in the genre to tire of the repetition earlier than the regular viewer. We know what's going on. In the most extreme example, I remember watching the pilot episode of Three's Company. The show ended, and I distinctly remember saying to whomever I was sitting with:
"That's a very funny show. I'm never watching it again."
I didn't need to watch it again. I was almost certain every episode would be the same as the first one. I don't believe I was too far off the mark.
Yes, TV series need to be reliable in their approach; otherwise, viewers will quickly become disenchanted. If they tune in for that show's particular brand of "Uppie!" and don't get it, they'll stop tuning in. They want "Uppie!" every week. The "Three Amigos" deviated from audience-pleasing western adventure movies and instead made "The Amigos on Broadway." The movie tanked. The studio boss correctly assessed the problem:
"We strayed from the formula, and we paid the price."
You can't stray from the formula, or the audience will go away. The thing is, it's a delicate balance. The continually repeat yourself, and the audience will go away. You don't want the audience to go away. You'll lose your health benefits.
You know, the more I write about this, the more it appears to be more about me than it does about you. Unless you wrote television comedies too. There are reasons to believe that, for the regular viewer, the repetition in television series may not be a problem at all.
At a recent lunch, Ken Levine, who writes a popular blog of his own (bykenlevine.com), told me that, during the later seasons of Cheers, when the repetitions were starting to wear thin, the show received higher ratings than any time in its history. The audience doesn't seem to mind repetition, even with a perceivable dip in quality, as long as they get their weekly dose of "Uppie!"
The whole issue came to mind, because I've become tired of a show I really liked when it premiered, the show being, The Big Bang Theory. I know, at its essence, the show is a not particularly groundbreaking version of, "Four Nerds and a Hottie", but there was something unique about the way it played out.
For one thing, the show's creators were not required, as they would have been in my day, to dumb down the socially inept physicists' dialogue, so it would "play in the Midwest." Instead, the characters are permitted to speak pure, unadulterated…"I don't know what they're talking about, but it sounds refreshingly on the money." Respecting the audience with "'real deal' genius talk" seemed, to me, startlingly original.
In the beginning.
Now, it feels like the same thing every week. The "never-their-strength" storylines have become numbingly similar, the jokes are reminiscent of the same joke from the week before. The one change – and it's not for the better – is that the show has coalesced around a single character – "Sheldon" – who is virtually required to carry the series on his own.
During Big Bang's first season, I made it a point not to miss it. Now, I check in on an episode, and it feels like I've already seen it. And it isn't a rerun.
I'm pretty much finished with The Big Bang Theory. Not so, however, is the show's audience, whose ratings, perhaps through the "word of mouth" of its regular viewers, continue to improve.
It's hard to pinpoint why people remain loyal. Maybe it's the show's humor, which, though not necessarily smart, is endearing, rarely offensive, and a cut above the competition in "ha-ha."
Maybe it's the show's appealing group of likable losers.
Or maybe it's just "Uppie!"
Ask any little kid.
You never tire of "Uppie!"
5 comments:
I only started watching Big Bang Theory this year, so maybe that's why I'm still in love with it, but it is my first choice of what to watch. It's been probably 3 or more months now and I'm still laughing about Sheldon spraying Leonard with a squirt bottle when he was arguing that Sheldon shouldn't be trying to train Penny. It was just so unexpected and felt like it was out of left field and yet it was completely in-line with the story. In fact, I'm laughing right now. I find a lot of their humor is like that - very fresh and unexpected. But I can see how I could come to expect it after a couple of years of watching.
I hope it doesn't wear off. There are not many sitcoms that I really like right now. I do enjoy Modern Family when I'm watching it, but there's nothing that compels me to come back week after week. Same for How I Met Your Mother and 30 Rock.

I can't remember the last time I watched any comedy show. The writing on most of them is atrocious, I can see the jokes coming from a mile away. I've even watched with a friend and said the punchline at the same time as the character....and it wasn't a repeat.
- February 23, 2010 at 9:34 AM
I've been watching The Big Bang Theory from the start and while I've seen some repetition I still find some bits that feel new to me. Raj trying to find something to do now that Howard and Leonard have girlfriends, for instance. I'm still laughing. Maybe it's "uppie", but it doesn't feel like it to me. The possibility exists that it is "uppie" though because I remember laughing harder in the first two seasons.

I absolutely agree with you on this. They've gotten a bit lazy as they've allowed Sheldon to dominate the plots rather than than develop the other characters in interesting ways. They've written themselves into a corner with Raj's inability to talk to women, which should have been resolved a while ago, at least with women he has known for a while. And they need to have more semi-regulars to come in and reconfigure the other relationships. Leslie Winkle, Stuart and Kripke are good starts, but they need more stuff like this.
Repetition is an essential ingredient, but it is also seeing how that repetition can be disrupted that makes something funny.
Thanks for your great blog. I really enjoy it!

Okay, that's perhaps a little over the top....
As you are no doubt aware, this has been off and on for a while now but I still like doing this and get a kick out of it. I think reducing the number of doubles events makes it far more managable and probably more enjoyable for you guys as half of them didn't have good CWLand teams in them anyway. But part of the reason this fell away last time was because of a lack of activity - partly because it was a Masters event and partly because it was so long between drinks.
For this to continue in the future I probably need more active players. To do this I'm going to be looking for new players (or even some of the older ones) to increase the number of people we have. I think part of the problem for new guys is that as soon as they sign up, they get stuck with an unranked character that despite my best efforts still takes half a season to be competitive. So, my answer to that is to allow new players to take over existing players and convert them to a CWLand nationality. It won't be the best players, but certainly guys ranked around 50-150 who are at least going to be playing some of the bigger tournaments. Once allocated an existing player, I'll give you a short biography in the media thread about their achievements, past tournaments, etc. Obviously they also have the choice of going through the minor tournaments like everybody else.
Furthermore, if any existing players are interested they can also take control over another player. They won't be converted to a CWLand nationality, but you can choose where they play and it gives you someone else to concentrate on when your player inevitable bombs out. I'm guessing that those who have been here since way back in 2008 may want to take over the schedule of someone they signed up with, but you can make your requests or just ask for someone random.
Thoughts? Any other suggestions? I'm keen on making this work again.

Portrait Gallery Events: Week Four
Architecture Tour
2pm. Saturday 18 February
45 Minute Tour
The Architecture Tour starts with an introduction to the building in the Great Hall. Matthew Latusek, PhD student at the University of Edinburgh leads the 45 minute tour which guides the group right through the building. Built between 1885 and 1889 and shared with the Museum of Antiquaries for over 100 years it was to be a 'Temple of Caledonian Fame.' A place to present the great and the good of Scotland: Starting with the Frieze in the Great Hall Matthew points to detail such as the figures of Scottish history marching back towards the figure of Caledonia.
It is not the warmest of Saturdays (it's utterly freezing) but we head outside into the Edinburgh wind to look at the 5672 sq metre building from its best vantage point, Queen Street. The Gothic sandstone building's huge windows were a very deliberate design by architect Sir Robert Rowand Andersen who wanted light to flood the building and create spacious well-lit galleries. Initially towers were designed to sit on each of the top four corners of the building, but they did not make the final design which, as Matthew describes, shows real pragmatism alongside romantic ideas of French gothic architecture. Sir Anderson trained under George Gilbert Scott – who designed St. Pancras Station – so we're in good company.
We head back into the building, and turn left through the new spacious foyer into the Contemporary Gallery, currently hosting Missing and Hot Scots. (Missing is only on to the end of March so make sure you head in to see it). This space housed the Museum of Antiquaries and was full of cabinets and screens, now it's just one large open multipurpose space. Significant interventions – by renovating architects PagePark – include opening up the previously closed vestibule and adding the education mezzanine that sits along the back of the contemporary gallery creating both a workshop space for school groups and a lunchroom above without compromising on having a large, light and open gallery space.
The group walk up to the top floor past The Library, where Matthew explains the practicalities of moving such an elaborate structure (think the Chocolate Shop in the original 1971 Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory film but with books and artifacts) to another floor but also explains how the move to the middle floor makes sense for the building as a whole. The Library used to be up on the top floor blocking the natural light, and the natural flow of the building – this is now Gallery 1: Reformation to Revolution and opens up the top floor as a circuit of galleries. This is a great example of the purpose of renovating architects PagePark in practice: showcasing the original design and creating an accessible contemporary gallery space. The tour wraps up on the top floor, in Gallery 5 and 6, which show off the original top-lit feature of the building; flooding the space with natural light.
Learning about additions and omissions to the original 1880s design through to the purpose and design of a modern gallery is fascinating, it's no surprise the tours are proving popular!

District of Columbia Public Hall License
DAR Constitution Hall is one of the premier venues for performances, plays, meetings and other events in Washington, DC. It operates under a public hall license issued by the District of Columbia, and is bound by the laws and regulations of that jurisdiction. Specifically, DC law requires us to make the Hall available for use by outside individuals and groups provided the fees and obligations of our contract are met. It is a violation of DC law to be selective in terms of who is allowed to use the Hall as outlined below:
- It is a violation of the DC regulation and 73-22 Human Rights Law to discriminate for any reason other than individual merit including, but not limited to, discrimination by reason of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, marital status, personal appearance, sexual orientation, family responsibilities, matriculation, political affiliation, physical handicap, source of income, and place of residence or business. The refusal to comply with the above shall be a proper basis for revocation or suspension of this license.
At the same time, use of DAR Constitution Hall does not constitute an endorsement by the National Society. DAR Constitution Hall serves as a public venue that can be rented by outside groups, and our contract document clearly stipulates that it is a violation for any group or individual to suggest that they have been endorsed by DAR.

We've spoken together about research before, oft. Some of us have taken part in studies having to do with the symptoms of MS, some of us have been part of drug trials, some have simply filled out a quality-of -life questionnaire. I think all of us would like to add to the body of knowledge, within reason.
Well, I just found something on the National MS Society's web site that has me excited and I think may intrigue some of you as well.
Three different studies using an MS DNA Bank are being assembled to assist researchers in understanding our disease. From what I read, we could all fall within the general guidelines of the DNA Bank.
If you are the only one in your family, there is a study. If you part of an unfortunate family with multiple cases, you can also participate. A third opportunity exists for people living with MS from the African American community.
A simple set of forms and a small blood draw are the only requirements.
We've seen discussion in the past week in our comments section having to do with an MS gene or genes. This may be a way to answer some of those questions.
I know I'm going to check into participating in this study. Anybody else ready to roll up your sleeve for the cause?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Hello, I thought I was done with this program but for some reason it just isn't working. I am required to read from a .txt file, and then write the information to two different .txt file locations. The location depends on the data of course! My text files are being created but instead of data inside them they are empty. Here is what I have in my main:
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { Fundraising athritis = new Fundraising("Athritis Foundation", 25000); Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("Donations.txt")); PrintWriter outputPlatinumDonor = new PrintWriter("PlatinumDonors.txt"); PrintWriter outputDonor = new PrintWriter("Donors.txt"); while(input.hasNext("Donations.txt")) { String name = input.nextLine(); String addressline1 = input.nextLine(); String addressline2 = input.nextLine(); double donationAmount = input.nextDouble(); // this is part of the problem domain, each fourth line of text is a double, and that double determines where the information is written to. if(donationAmount >= 1000) { athritis.writeToFile(name, addressline1, addressline2, donationAmount, outputPlatinumDonor); } else if(donationAmount < 1000) { athritis.writeToFile(name, addressline1, addressline2, donationAmount, outputDonor); } } input.close(); }
And here is the writeToFile method that I have made (using a method in another class was required)
public void writeToFile(String name, String addressLine1, String addressLine2, double donationAmount, PrintWriter file) throws IOException { PrintWriter outputPlatinumDonor = new PrintWriter("PlatinumDonors.txt"); PrintWriter outputDonor = new PrintWriter("donors.txt"); if(file.equals(outputPlatinumDonor)) { outputPlatinumDonor.println(name); outputPlatinumDonor.println(addressLine1); outputPlatinumDonor.println(addressLine2); outputPlatinumDonor.println(donationAmount); } else if(file.equals(outputDonor)) { outputDonor.println(name); outputDonor.println(addressLine1); outputDonor.println(addressLine2); outputDonor.println(donationAmount); } outputDonor.close(); outputPlatinumDonor.close(); }
I am not looking for someone to rewrite this for me with the professionally. I honestly want to learn this. My universities tutor isn't in today and I've become a bit frustrated with this problem. I know there are 100 ways to do anything but I would like to keep to my original work as close as possible. For instance I know I am supposed to be buffering my File I/O but my instructor said they are judging us on the effectiveness and not the efficiency at this time.
Any help, hints and advice would be appreciated, thank you very much for your time.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard men's soccer team scored two goals to tie the game in the second half, but lost to Southern Methodist, 3-2, in double overtime Sunday at Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium.
Harvard (1-2-1) outshot SMU (2-2-1), 11-6, in the first half, but was unable to find the back of the net. The Mustangs; however, struck twice on goals by senior Ben Hill and freshman Jacob Gandarilla.
Harvard got on the board in the 60th minute when senior captain Scott Prozeller headed in a cross pass off a free kick from sophomore David Barna. With less than 10 minutes to go in the second stanza, freshman Oliver White scored on a shot from the top of the box to tie the game and notch his first collegiate goal. Freshman keeper Joe Festa saved a shot by SMU senior Tyler Engel to preserve the tie and force overtime. Festa finished with six saves.
The Crimson did not take a shot in the first overtime. SMU had a chance on a penalty kick with 1:07 remaining in the first overtime, but Engel's shot hit the cross bar to keep the score knotted at two.
Engel was able to score the golden goal in the second overtime, when he put the ball to the right of a diving Festa from inside the box on an assist from freshman Derek Schrick.
Harvard returns to action on Sept. 14 against Connecticut at 4 p.m. at Ohiri Field.

The Survey: Founding Frames
While the colonial period can prove a hard sell, few students debate the significance of the founding. Such interest provides an opportunity for introducing new work in the area, along with larger themes – some capable of tying the entire survey together. To take just a few examples, Alison LaCroix's recent Ideological Origins of American Federalism opens the possibility of assessing American legal history through the lens of changing notions of federalism (a topical question given current interest in originalism generally); Daniel Hulsebosch's Constituting Empire: New York and the Transformation of Constitutionalism in the Atlantic World, 1664-1830 opens the door for a cosmopolitan inquiry (particularly well-suited for global looks not only at the founding but slavery, the Caribbean roots of the Civil War, the imperialist origins of Jim Crow, Progressivism's "Atlantic Crossings," World War I, World War II, and the Cold War), while Pauline Meier's new book Ratification: The People Debate the Constitution 1787-1788 invites a ground-up, social history approach. Though each book could easily fit into a traditional survey course, they also present the possibility of more thematically driven, provocative inquiries. Take Meier, for example. Her focus on the ratification debates reveals a considerable amount of what Larry Kramer might call "popular constitutionalism," itself a useful meta-theory for survey purposes. Further, Meier's study contextualizes Madison's description of rights as little more than "parchment barriers," legal protections that are largely contingent on popular will, a point that Jack Rakove captures nicely in Original Meanings: Politics and Ideas in the Making of the Constitution. Once introduced, these sources provide a consistent, compelling means of analyzing the history of rights in America, including the rights of labor and business – always with an eye to political context. Any other founding frames come to mind?

In response to Anders Walker's post concerning framing the founding era for students, my experience has been shaped by the advice of the late, great Richard B. Morris, who in his "Early American Emeriti" essay for THE WILLIAM AND MARY QUARTERLY, grumbled about fobbing off students with monographic pablum instead of plunging them into the sources. None of the books that Anders has cited could be considered pablum, of course, but I would strongly recommend getting students to confront primary sources via such collected editions as the Kurland and Lerner FOUNDERS' CONSTITUTION, now online in fully-searchable form at the University of Chicago Press website. Students obsessed with originalism might also be usefully exposed to Jack Rakove, ed., INTERPRETING THE CONSTITUTION: THE DEBATE OVER ORIGINAL INTENT (Northeastern University Press, 1990).

June is "Gay Pride Month," which immediately begs two questions: Says who? and, How is it that we have become a nation of such compliant sheep that we accept this rubbish?
The Viacom corporation, on the other hand, thinks it's the perfect opportunity for its MTV and gay Logo channels to announce they're creating a second "It Gets Better" anti-bullying special starring their favorite gay bully, Dan Savage. On the cusp of this news, Savage denounced the gay group GOProud for endorsing Mitt Romney for president: "The GOP's house faggots grab their ankles on this one."
This F-bomb has destroyed careers in Hollywood – see Isaiah Washington, the former star of "Grey's Anatomy." But Savage just signed with Creative Artists Agency to line up his business offers. One wonders if the reporters who cover television will ever dare to ask the Viacom brass how they square Savage's routine bullying bursts – whether into a microphone or into a keyboard – with the transparently false anti-bullying persona they're promoting to make themselves look community-minded.
Hypocrisy doesn't get more blatant than this. It's coming not just from Viacom, but from all those diversity-loving, tolerance-dreaming press critics who ultimately really don't mean a word of it.
Savage is "more mainstream than ever before," oozed a recent profile in the Chicago Tribune. In their article, we discover it is now "more mainstream" for Savage to proclaim that the nation's most devout religious leaders are cheerleaders for teen suicides. "Every dead gay kid is a moral, rhetorical victory for them. They stand on a pile of dead gay kids."
The Tribune didn't find this inaccurate or offensive. Referring to Savage's fear that "It Gets Better" makes him look like a "milquetoast," the Tribune declared, "If Dan Savage is milquetoast, then he is a particularly piquant version."
At a student journalism conference in early May, Savage caused a student walkout as he trashed the Bible as a "radical pro-slavery document." If it was wrong on slavery, "on the easiest moral question that humanity has ever faced...What are the odds that the Bible got something as complicated as human sexuality wrong? 100 percent," Savage said. He mocked the students who walked out in protest "It's funny, as someone who is the receiving end of beatings that are justified by the Bible, how pansy-assed some people react when you push back," Savage said.
In a new interview with the Minneapolis Star-Tribune, Savage repeated that "religious people need to learn to ignore what the Bible says about gay people, or seems to say, the same way they ignore what the Bible says about shellfish and slavery. We're not asking religious people to do anything they haven't already done, which is to let go of the parts of the Bible that discriminate. They've done it before with slavery and they can do it again with homosexuality."
Savage isn't hiding his agenda: Hey hey, ho ho, the Holy Bible has got to go. Hollywood has made this view "more mainstream than ever," and he knows it. This secular sex columnist doesn't have any need to express civility toward his opponents. There is only the flamethrower and the grenades for this commando.
This line was also in his "more mainstream than ever" basket, equating marriage to rape: " We should start calling male-on-female rape 'traditional' rape. Because if all 'traditional' means is that it's between a man and woman, that's setting the bar pretty low."
This man not only hates Christians, he despises Christianity itself.
MTV just wrapped up its season of "Savage U," the show where Savage travels to college campuses doling out profane sex "education."For twelve episodes on twelve college campuses, MTV posed Savage as the compassionate wise man as he says the most outrageous things. In the season finale at Texas Tech, Savage preached that contraceptives must be used to prevent "the world's oldest and most disruptive sexually transmitted infection: pregnancy." He confessed his MTV sidekick Lauren Hutchinson doesn't like that lingo because "she's so sentimental that way about babies."
Savage is so unsentimental that he's insulted his own adopted son D. J. as thuggish. In an adoring NPR interview last year with Terry Gross, he cracked, "If he didn't have us for parents — he's a little thuggy snowboarder-skateboarder dude — and I like to think that he's blessed to have us as parents because you can see in him the capacity to be a bully." Thanks, "Dad."
Earth to Viacom: You are ridiculous when you announce anti-bullying specials hosted by pathetic bullies like Dan Savage. It makes about as much sense as a special promoting vegetarianism hosted by Ronald McDonald.

You need a quick-relief drug when you're coughing, wheezing, having trouble breathing, or otherwise having an asthma episode (asthma attack). These drugs work very fast to control asthma symptoms. They are also referred to as "rescue" drugs.
Here are the main types:
The short acting beta-agonists are the most effective and most widely used drugs for treating asthma attacks. They also can be used just before exercising to help prevent exercise-induced symptoms. They work by relaxing the muscles that tighten around the bronchial tubes during an attack. (The drug is a "bronchodilator.")
If you find that you are increasingly relying on these drugs or using more than one canister a month, your asthma probably is not under control, and your daily control drugs should be evaluated.
Albuterol is the most commonly used short-acting beta-agonist and is the ingredient in Accuneb, Alupent, ProAir, Proventil, and Ventolin. A purer form of albuterol, called levalbuterol, is now available (Xopenex), and appears to require lower doses with longer action. Early studies of levalbuterol showed some benefits in terms of lower side effects, but later trials did not. Levalbuterol is delivered with a nebulizer or an HFA (CFC-free) MDI. Maxair (pirbuterol) is another example of a short-acting beta-agonist. IMPORTANT NOTE: Short-acting beta agonists are NOT formulated the same as "long-acting" beta agonists, which may be used in the daily control of asthma.
This drug, which is also a bronchodilator, is often the next choice for quick relief and is given to people who do not tolerate beta-agonists. It is also used for people whose asthma is triggered by beta-blocker medication for the heart.
Ipratropium bromide, such as Atrovent, takes longer to act than beta-agonists and is not used to prevent exercise-induced asthma. Other brands, Combivent and DuoNeb, contain both ipratropium bromide and albuterol.
Steroids are sometimes given orally (as pills, capsules, or liquids) for 3 - 10 days to help control moderate-to-severe asthma attacks. They take longer to act, but help prevent additional attacks.
Examples include prednisone, prednisolone, and methylprednisolone.

Say no to being a beachhead for Islamic subjugation of the non-muslim society!
NOTE: Basima Faysal is calling for 11.11.2015 as a non-violent jihad day
If you want to be above reproach and included among those who believe in a classical liberal democratic society in which citizens live in peace and co-existence, sign Sam Solomon's:
Proposed Charter of Muslim Understanding.
I express my sincere gratitude to all those who contributed to this proposed Charter. Thank you to those who have read and have helped in editing and to everyone who gave suggestions and advice, with especial thanks to Paul Diamond whose legal expertise was invaluable.
I am most indebted to Gerard Batten MEP for his kindness, leadership, sincerity and all his help. Last but not least my esteemed colleague and researcher Al Maqdisi who is simply indispensable.
Sam Solomon December 2006
The Western European view of religion, achieved after centuries of bloodshed, conflict and division, is that religion is a matter of private belief and conscience. Islamic fundamentalists do not share this view. They do not believe in the nation state, democracy, the equality of women, or toleration. They believe in Islamic theocracy, a universal Muslim society, the Umma, based on political rule according to the Qur'an and Sunnah.
Such views are simply incompatible with Western liberal democracy, and we have seen where such extremist beliefs can lead, for example in Afghanistan and Iran. The West has been amazingly lax in recognising the threat posed to its security, freedoms, values and the cohesiveness of society by Islamic fundamentalism. The terrorist atrocities in London of July 2005 showed just how dangerous these beliefs can be.
Islamic fundamentalists have however made great gains in the propaganda war by convincing many non-Muslims that they are the true representatives of Islam, whereas they are not. The vast majority of Muslims that non-Muslims meet in every-day life are decent, respectable, law-abiding and hardworking. Western governments and societies have to offer them their support while standing firm against the extremists.
A great step forward in this process is Sam Solomon's Proposed Charter of Muslim Understanding. The Charter allows Muslims from all strands of belief to make it plain that they reject those extremist interpretations of their religious texts that promote or excuse violence and bring Islam into conflict with the modern world. It affirms that they want to enjoy the freedoms of the West and live as law-abiding and peace-loving people. I very much hope that those groups claiming to represent Muslims will decide to sign and embrace it.
Gerard Batten MEP
If Islam is a religion of peace, as portrayed by the Muslim community and its clergy, and those acts of terrorism committed in its name are the acts of few misguided individuals who have misunderstood and misinterpreted its teaching, then Islam is completely innocent of the violence and the terrorism that is sometimes attributed to it.
Consequently, in extrapolating from this premise, one should expect that in the light of the current terrorist threat perpetrated by some in the name of Islam that the faithful ones and the authorised scholars and experts call a general conference of its Ulema, the learned scholars of Islamic religion, to discuss provisions such as laid out in this Charter. They should have no objection to being signatories to it, and upholding its content both in letter and spirit in the name of Islam and for the welfare of their host societies and that of humanity at large.
We call on organisations representing the Islamic faith such as the European Council of Fatwa, the Muslim Council of Britain, the Al-Azhar, the Organisation of Islamic Conference, the Muslim World League and all its affiliates, national and international Islamic bodies, to endorse and sign this proposed Charter as an example to all European Muslims.
It is hoped that the Muslim leaders would agree that whosoever deviates from the path of this Charter would have gone on an unIslamic path and thus such a person would be regarded as outcast from the religion of Islam; hence a non-Muslim.
It is hoped that at least all European Muslim leaders and their institutions both national and Europe-wide will be signatoriesto this Charter as the first expression of their desire to live in peace within their host countries, as law-abiding and peaceloving and peace-promoting communities alongside their nonMuslim neighbours.
Whatever their real or perceived grievances these need to be addressed through proper channels and not through violence and terrorism.
A Proposed Charter of Muslim Understanding
We the undersigned as the representatives of Muslim communities in our capacity as leaders at various levels as Muftis, Ulemas, Imams, community leaders, heads of Islamic madrassas, Muezzins, Mazuns and all other Islamic relevant offices including those of free thinkers and leaders of NGOs as well as NPOs (Non-Profit Organisations), youth leaders, women leaders at all levels of all Islamic institutions commit to uphold, promote, propagate and abide by these articles in letter and spirit of this Charter of Muslim Understanding.
We commit to the fostering and promotion of peaceful coexistence across Europe in the spirit of one brotherhood amongst all humanity treating all as equals in accordance with the principles proclaimed in the charter of the United Nations, the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights (General Assembly resolution 217A(III) of 1948), and the United Nations' International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966).
Whosoever breaches any of the articles stated and detailed below will be regarded as a person outside the House of Islam, and shall be denounced as a non-Muslim, and will find no protection in the Muslim community.
Article 1
We will respect all other non-Muslim religions in word and deed by issuing a clear fatwa with an immediate effect prohibiting:
- a) The use of force and violence of any kind against the followers of any1 or all non-Muslim religions
- b) The issue of threats through any religious fatwa threatening with violence against institutions or assassination of individuals or groups and followers of other religions who may be domiciled in the affected localities or any other country be it a Muslim majority or a otherwise
- c) The use of any force in any form for whatever grievances felt or actual
- d) Forbidding the killing or targeting of any civilian or civil institutions2 in Islamic and non-Islamic countries as a way and means of addressing any of our grievances.
Article 2
We will respect and honour all civilisations, cultures, and traditions of other nations and people irrespective of their ethnic or religious backgrounds.
This will be achieved by introducing a clear educational programme through all Islamic institutions and outlets, as well as organising special meetings to address youth:
- a) By promoting brotherhood of all mankind without any religious or ethnic discrimination or differentiation
- b) By declaring the equality of all men and women and the profanity3 of none
- c) By promoting the validity and the viability of the national domestic law to be fully adhered to and taking precedence over the Shari'ah.
Article 3
In the spirit of the saying, "Let there be no compulsion in religion" (Sura 2:256), we commit to the upholding the value of freedom, and in particular freedom of belief and expression. The signatories hereby declare that religion is a private and personal matter and a personal choice. It is neither a right of a community nor a state right to dictate or interfere in a person's personal choice of faith.
- a) As such there will be no recriminations against any Muslim or non-Muslim who chooses to change, discard, or adopt another faith be it within the House of Islam, from any Islamic faction, or to a non-Islamic religion or faith.
- b) This concept will be re-issued as a binding fatwa across Europe and offered for publication in national and local newspapers in order to avoid any misinterpretations.
Article 4
The basis of the legitimacy of Islamists' acts of terror and their perpetuated violence is the authority that they obtain from being sanctioned by religious leaders. These sanctioning statements are known as fatwas. This situation is now being reviewed in many Islamic nations.
Jordan has passed a bill regulating the process of fatwas and the accountability of those that issue them. Those in breach of that regulation are liable to face severe penalties. Saudi Arabia too has tabled proposals to that effect, and other Arab Islamic governments have commissioned a study into it. Nation states must consider this measure as a safeguard.
Following from the foregoing articles, the signatories to this Charter ban and prohibit the right of issuing any fatwa that would results in violence against individuals or institutions.
- a) Any such fatwa will be null and void.
- b) The right of issuing fatwa will be limited to a specified body, and only that body will have the right to issue relevant religious fatwas.
- c) Fatwas issued by anybody else (either an individual or an institution) apart from the authorised body will be invalid and of no effect.
- d) In case other than the specified body issues a fatwa it would be regarded as unlawful and it would be for the appropriate governmental authorities to bring him/her/them to justice.
- e) The signatories to this Charter will fully co-operate with the police and security forces in bringing him/her/them to justice, including measures of deportation where appropriate.
Article 5
As peace-loving and peace-promoting people domiciled in Europe, and equally believing that Islam is a religion of peace that promotes co-operation and collaboration of all peoples irrespective of their religious or ethnic or gender backgrounds:
- a) The notion and all teachings of violent physical Jihad is to be regarded as invalid, inappropriate and irrelevant— hence inapplicable
- b) Therefore all Qur'anic Jihad verses encouraging physical violence, whether implicit or explicit, or any other quotations from any Islamic source, be that Sunnah or the sayings of the Prophet or that of the learned scholars or leaders of Jihad at any given time or place, are to be regarded as inapplicable, invalid and non-Islamic
- c) All Qur'anic verses that could be of inciting nature religiously, ethnically or discriminatory in regard to gender are just historical and will be regarded as non-effective for today's world
- d) These verses will be either deferred or suspended until such time as scholars find a solution for their interpretation.
Article 6
Based on the acceptance of equality of all mankind, brotherhood of all and the freedom and sanctity of all human life, and based on the principle that "whosoever slays one man is as though he has slain the whole of humanity," all acts of terrorism are prohibited, shunned and outlawed:
- a) No suicidal mission undertaken for whatever the reason is justified
- b) No violent physical Jihad operation will be regarded as sacred
- c) No one who chooses to die in such an operation will be regarded as martyr.
Article 7
We jointly will fight terrorism and do all within our abilities to stem it from our institutions through:
- a) Full co-operation in with all the relevant authorities, including those of the Police and Intelligence Services
- b) By watching and monitoring mosque sermons and other mosque teaching programmes for messages not in accordance with this Charter
- c) Making certain that at the religious gatherings and lectures given to youth co-operation and peaceful existence with nonMuslims is proclaimed and the hate ideology is rooted out
- d) Reporting any secret or suspicious gathering of youth cells in any of our institutions
- e) Monitoring all publications, including books, CDs, DVDs and all other media, that serve the cause of militant Islamists
- f) Ensuring transparency and full access to the authorities to verify the implementation of this Charter.
Article 8
We will foster a better relationship with non-Muslims and promote peace by:
- a) Issuing regular fatwas promoting peace and brotherhood between Muslims and non-Muslims as a foundational teaching of Islam
- b) Produce a clear programme promoting peace and forgiveness amongst all people groups irrespective of their religious, cultural, linguistic or ethnic background
- c) Taking stern action through establishing by-laws to expel any Muslim official or office-bearer at any level who engages or promotes any teaching or activity not in accordance with this Charter
- d) Forbidding any anti-Jewish or anti-Christian supplications at all times, particularly at prayer times and other religious gatherings.
Article 9
We the signatories request all Islamic institutions and all of its associates, affiliations and outlets in co-operation with the signatories to this Charter:
- a) To discard all texts that discriminate with impunity against Christians and Jews by describing them as Kaffirs, apostates, polytheists, the children of apes, and swine, and prohibit any inciting, insulting, and all discriminatory references based on their religion
- b) To abandon the practice of takffir (infidel) against anybody, be that a Muslim or a non-Muslim. (Once a Muslim leader declares anyone as such, it is for the faithful ones to see that person eliminated.)
- c) To prohibit and abolish the practice of Takkiya (Islamic doctrine of legitimate lying and deception of others) to advance the cause of Muslims and Islam. This insulting, inciting, discrimination, and deception is not to be upheld or practised.
Article 10
Request all officially constituted Islamic bodies and institutions to revise and issue new interpretations of those Qur'anic verses that call for Jihad and violence against non-Muslims. For example, but not exclusively:
- a) O Prophet (Muhammad)! Urge the believers to fight. If there are twenty steadfast persons amongst you, they will overcome two hundred, and if there be a hundred steadfast persons they will overcome a thousand of those who disbelieve, because they (the disbelievers) are people who do not understand. (Sura 8:65)
- b) Let those (believers) who sell the life of this world for the Hereafter fight in the Cause of Allah, and whoso fights in the Cause of Allah, and is killed or gets victory, We shall bestow on him a great reward. (Sura 4:74)
- c) Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghuat (great Satan). So fight you against the friends of Shaiytan (Satan); Ever feeble indeed is the plot of Shaiytan. (Sura 4:76)
- d) And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (dissension, disbelief and polytheism) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone (in the whole of the world). But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do. (Sura 8:39)
- e) And kill them (unbelievers) wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-al-Haram (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers. (Sura 2:191)
- f) Then when the Sacred Months (the 1st, 7th, 11th, and 12th months of the Islamic calendar) have passed, then kill the Mushrikun (unbelievers) wherever you find them, and capture them and besiege them, and prepare for them each and every ambush. But if they repent and perform AsSalat, and give Zakat, then leave their way free. Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Sura 9:5)
- g) The recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter. (Sura 5:33)
- h) Fight against them so that Allah will punish them by your hands and disgrace them and give you victory over them and heal the breasts of a believing people… (Sura 9:14)
- i) Fight against those who believe not in Allah, nor in the Last Day, nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islam) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah (humiliating tax on non-Muslims) with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (Sura 9:29)
- j) And make ready against them all you can of power, including steeds of war (i.e. all forms of weaponry) to threaten the enemy of Allah and your enemy, and others besides whom, you may not know but whom Allah does know. And whatever you shall spend in the Cause of Allah shall be repaid unto you, and you shall not be treated unjustly. (Sura 8:60)
- k) (Remember) when your Lord inspired the angels, "Verily, I am with you, so keep firm those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who have disbelieved, so strike them over the necks, and smite over all their fingers and toes." (Sura 8:12)
- l) We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve, because they joined others in worship with Allah, for which He had sent no authority; their abode will be the Fire and how evil is the abode of the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers). (Sura 3:151) (This verse was given in Medina regarding the pagans of Makkah, during the battle of Uhud. Soon after that it was made effective with the conquest of Makkah, and its application from the Shari'ah or Islamic jurisprudence is to be on all non-Muslims, here and now.)
- m) O you who have been given the Scripture (Jews and Christians)! Believe in what We have revealed (to Muhammad) confirming what is (already) with you, before We efface faces (by making them like the back of necks, without nose, mouth, eyes, etc) and turn them hindwards, or curse them as We cursed the Sabbath-breakers. And the Commandment of Allah is always executed. (Sura 4:47)
- n) O you who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians as Awliyah (friends, protectors, helpers, etc), they are but Awliyah to one another. And if any amongst you takes them as Awliyah, then surely he is one of them. Verily, Allah guides not those people who are the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers and unjust). (Sura 5:51)
- o) O you who believe! Take not as your Bitanah (advisors, consultants, protectors, helpers, friends, etc) those outside your religion (pagans, Jews, Christians, and hypocrites) since they will not fail to do their best to corrupt you. They desire to harm you severely. Hatred has already appeared from their mouths, but what their breasts conceal is far worse. Indeed We have made plain to you the Ayatt (proofs, evidences, verses) if you understand. (Sura 3:118)
- p) Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is he, the Messiah, Jesus son of Mary." But the Messiah (Jesus) said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) there are no helpers. (Sura 5:72)
- q) Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no god but One Allah. And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them. (Sura 5:73) (This painful torment is both here and now as well as being punished by Allah's angels in the grave and in the last day as portrayed and expounded by Islamic religious and legal manuals.)
These, and other similar verses from the Qur'an and the sayings of the prophet reported in Islamic manuals called Hadith, are sources of inspiration for hate and terrorism.
The Signatories to this Charter re-affirm their profound beliefs in those fundamental freedoms of justice and peace upon which the maintenance of domestic political democracy is dependent.
The Signatories to this Charter re-affirm their profound belief in the charters of the United Nations, the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights (General Assembly resolution 217A(III) of 1948), and the United Nations' International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966), including the fundamental freedom to proselytise and in the fundamental right of the individual to change their religion.
The Signatories to this Charter re-affirm their profound belief in peace between the Islamic communities and other non-Islamic communities.

Zohal Hamid to withdraw molestation case
Hamid`s lawyers will soon move the Delhi High Court seeking withdrawal of the case registered against Pomersbach who was arrested last Friday and later granted bail. Pomersbach, is playing for Royal Challengers Banglore in the ongoing Indian Premier League.
She will also drop legal proceedings against RCB director Siddharth Mallya for casting aspersions on her character through tweets after she complained to police about molestation by the cricketer.
"Yes," Rajneesh Chopra, Hamid`s lawyer told PTI in a text message when asked whether the American national was withdrawing case against Pomersbach and legal proceedings against Mallya.
In a late night Tweet siddharth Mallya said, "So glad that all charges have been dropped and Luke can return down under A FREE MAN!"
"I`ve always been a very loyal person who stands up for friends. The tweets/comments made were unfortunate, being the product of stressful circumstances & I realise people drew meaning and connotations other than and beyond what was intended against Zohal," he tweeted.
Royal Challengers player Luke Pomersbach was arrested last Friday after American national Zohal Hamid alleged he molested her and hit her fiance Sahil when he objected to the cricketer`s behaviour. Pomersbach was arrested and a court granted him bail later.
The first indication to this out of court settlement came earlier in the day when Sahil`s brother Feroz claimed they did not want to pursue the case.
Feroz said that Pomersbach should not have done what he did. "He should have respect for women. Luke has done a blunder. He should apologise and we should also forgive and forget. We don`t want to pursue against Luke. We have not been pressurised by anyone. No one has approached us," he said. He also said they do not want to pursue a case against Mallya.
He also rebutted Hamid`s claim that she was Sahil`s fiancee. "Whatever happened was most unfortunate. Officially I am saying, Sahil is not engaged to Zohal," he said.

Bow-Tie Cinema 100
93 Knollwood Road,
White Plains,
1 person favorited this theater
The Cinema 100 is a four screen art cinema that opened in the 1960's in the Greenburgh section of White Plains, in a shopping center. The theatre was twinned, then converted into a quad in 1999 by Clearview Cinemas, when it was converted to an art house.
In June 2013, Bow-Tie Cinemas took over as it took most Clearview locations.

Was ortiginally run by Ackerman-Tolchin chain as a first run $1.50 at all times house. Nice little theater back then. This is actuallyy located in the Town of Greenburgh which carries a White Plains postal address. I think it's a twin, not a quad. I don't believe it opened until the very early 1970's.
Firstly, thankfully we have a full time art theatre in Westchester. Actually that is the only nice thing to say about this theatre. Very poorly designed. One auditorium has a screen so large that it is virtually impossible to watch a subtitled movie without constantly cranking your head up and down. And that's from the rear of the theatre. Then there are the two auditoriums that are slightly raked but the screen is so high that you leave with as stiff neck. You must sit in the last row of these theatres but that means you're sitting next to the entrance door that opens with the hall lights literally hitting you in the face. This might have been a nice place as a single screen but now it just an embarresment. But they do have a new candy stand and free parking. God I miss the Fine Arts in Scarsdale.
This was fine as a single screen, not to bad as a twin. It is now HORRIBLE!The seats were NEVER re-done since it was a SINGLE SCREEN! Not only are they old and uncomfortable BUT they are all at a slant in all 4 theatres. This is bc they were set up to face one screen!
Clearview fixed up many of their other in Westchester, NJ and Rockland with new seats and better sound systems over the past few years.
This theatre got nothing! Not even new carpets! So you get uncomfortable seats poor sound small screens 4 little boxes that are supposed to pass as theatres!
The last INSULT is the $11.00 price! I went there on Tue which is free if you have Optimum Cable Tripple Play.
The staff is friendly!
Clearview TEAR DOWN THIS CINEMA AND BUILD A NEW MODERN 4 SCREENER!
You're right, Peter. I forgot about the seats which face where the center of the screen used to be! Has Clearview ever built a new theatre of their own? I try to never go there. Why does it seem that all art theatres in this area are dumps? The least objectionable right now is National Amusements' All Westchester which usually puts 2 screens aside for artier fare. (By the way, I buy pre-paid tickets thru Working Advantage for $6.50 with no expiration date. But I'll be damned if I'll pay $11.00)
This was always my favorite theater growing up. Saw The Return of The Pink Panther here, as well as Fame, Family Plot, The Cheap Detective, Nighthawks, and many, many more. I even dragged a bunch of my friends there to see Winter Kills during one of their birthday parties without knowing it was completely inappropriate for a bunch of kids. I just wanted to go to Cinema 100.

May 2, 2012 -- More than 50 years of data show that people with schizophrenia who take antipsychotic drugs lower their risk of relapse, a new study suggests.
Relapse rates were 64% in people not taking medications for schizophrenia, while they were 27% in those who were given them for at least a year. Relapse -- meaning symptoms get worse or come back after a period of improvement -- is a common occurrence in people with schizophrenia.
The study also shows that people treated with these drugs are also less likely to be hospitalized or to behave aggressively or violently.
For this review study, scientists analyzed data from nearly 6,500 people with schizophrenia who participated in 65 research trials published between 1959 and 2011.
Since the evidence spanned more than 50 years, researchers were able to include in the analysis older antipsychotic drugs used to treat the condition, such as Haldol and Thorazine, and newer medications known as atypical antipsychotics, such as Abilify, Clozaril, Fazaclo, and Risperdal.
The study is published online in The Lancet.
Weighing Risks and Benefits
Schizophrenia is a brain disorder that affects 2.4 million American adults, according to the National Alliance on Mental Illness, most often before the age of 30. Symptoms of this mental illness can include hallucinations, hearing voices, and/or having delusions.
Although the study shows the medications helped prevent relapse and, to some extent, improved the quality of life in people taking them, researchers also found evidence of their negative side effects.
Compared to people taking a placebo, those treated with antipsychotics were more likely to gain weight, have movement disorders, such as tremors or muscle spasms, and feel more sedated.
Still, "we have established that antipsychotic maintenance treatment substantially reduces relapse risk in all patients with schizophrenia for up to two years of follow-up," the researchers write.
An editorial accompanying the research notes that the average follow-up time to evaluate relapse was 26 weeks. But it says this is "only a fraction of the time patients need support from services."
The editorial suggests this is possibly not long enough to observe other negative consequences from long-term use of antipsychotic drugs. It also says that scientists also need to understand why many patients with schizophrenia relapse even though they are sticking to their drug treatment regimen.

F1@1F's Guide to SCOTUS Seats, Pt. I @ ATL
My tutorial on when to arrive at the Court is now live at Above the Law:
[ATL] requested that I exchange my very closely kept trade secrets for thousands of hits at F1@1F and a slew of trolls below this post.
I needed clarity—a bright moral line—to cut through my sleepless haze and save my principles from ATL's temptation. I needed Justice Scalia.
But Justice Scalia, only hours before, killed his credibility when he openly embraced "substantive due process," the living constitutionalists' darling device for abortion- and gay-rights, rather than face the liberal consequences of an originalist reading of a resurrected Privileges or Immunities Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
That sealed it. If Scalia could imperil his legacy for the sake of convenient results, then so could I.
Read the rest at Above the Law. Part II will be up over there next week.

As much as I'm loving it, I do have some minor criticisms. In this post I want to mention one of them. I'll be developing what I present here in future papers, but I would love to get some feedback from any other scholars out there.
In a few places the authors in this monograph seem to fall prey to a presuppositional view which I think is utterly mistaken and wrong-headed. What is that view? To sum it up, here it is: scholars seem to conclude that material consistent with the narrative or theological interests of redactors constitutes evidence against authenticity. Going on, scholars seem to assume that redactional activity represents evidence of in authenticity. Indeed, this line of thought appears rather commonly in historical Jesus work.
It seems to appear in Key Events in the Life of the Historical Jesus as well. Take for example Craig Blomberg. He writes:
"Jesus' compassion for outcasts of many different kinds―women, lepers, other sick persons, Samaritans, Gentiles, and the poor―forms of a major emphasis within Luke's writing. So we cannot argue that the specific pericopae of Jesus' meals with sinners in this Gospel fail to fit the Evangelist's redactional tendencies. But there are plenty of other signs of authenticity."[1]It seems here that the assumption is that material that coincides with Luke's larger narrative interests must be seen as historically suspect.
But why?
Clearly it is entirely possible―I think even probable!―that "redactors" included authentic material in their editorial work.
In fact, this very point is made by Robert Webb in the introductory essay to this compilation of essays:
"Often in historical Jesus studies, if something is identified as redactional material contributed by a Gospel author, it is usually discounted as not being historical with reference to Jesus. In many cases this may be appropriate, but sometimes it is applied in a heavy-handed manner that misses the point."[2]Indeed, Mr. Q himself, John S. Kloppenborg, makes this point: "It is indeed possible, indeed probable, that some of the materials from the secondary compositional phase are dominical or at least very old, and that some of the formative elements are, from the standpoint of authenticity or tradition-history, relatively young."[3]
Likewise, Gundry explains, ". . . artistic composition does not imply lack of traditional data, for artists often use raw materials given to them rather than spinning material out of their own heads."[4]
Kloppenborg goes on to make a point that I wish I could put into a frame and give to all of my graduate students: "Tradition-history is not convertible with literary history."[5] Kloppenborg makes the point plainly in another work on Q: "It should be stressed that the assignment of a set of sayings to the framing [of Q] implies nothing about their ultimate tradition-historical provenance or their authenticity; it is a literary observation."[6]
The point is often overlooked, especially among those still convinced by the Q theory―i.e., what is from Q is largely assumed to be historical, but what is seen as stemming from the redactional activity of Matthew and Luke is not.
Such an approach however is hugely problematic! Even in his work on Q Kloppenborg cautions:
"Redaction criticism, in particular the ground-breaking work of Werner Kelber (1983), should also have taught us that the choice of genre and the organizational patterns employed by the written Gospels are the choices of the authors involved; they cannot be used as indices by which to characterize the historical Jesus. The literary choice to feature sapiential and prophetic sayings and to ignore the miracle and passion traditions tells us in the first place about Q, not about the historical Jesus. It renders evidence of the persons who collected and framed its sayings. Their interests must be probed and their techniques analyzed. . . . To be sure, Q is an important source for the historical Jesus, but it is only one of several. It is neither complete nor is it unalloyed."[7]So let's get it clear: we must decouple the questions of redaction history and historicity. Indeed, whatever one thinks about his conclusions about dating the New Testament documents, John A.T. Robinson's discussion of the uncritical use of redaction criticism ought to receive more attention than it has.[8]
So now let me ask: what do you think?

OSBC director: Can Microsoft become one of the OSS guys?
There is no doubt that the influence of open source has increased significantly, but is it enough to get Microsoft into the fold? OSBC director Matt Asay weighs in as part of this exclusive interview.
As part of what has become a tradition at SearchOpenSource.com, Open Source Business Conference director Matt Asay sat down for an update on what to expect in open source.
In this interview, Asay contends that Microsoft has been missing out on a huge opportunity with open source, but it is beginning to show some promise.
Whether Microsoft can become one of the guys remains to be seen, but if Asay is correct about OSS being on the cusp of core enterprise adoption, it will be an interesting year for open source.
Will there be a rise in OSS/Microsoft interoperability this year?
Matt Asay: For every OSS project except Linux, the vast majority of the trials happen on Windows. A lot of this is because that is what people have on their desktops. They want to try SugarCRM and [Windows is] what is there.
I think if Microsoft is smart they will continue to partner with vendors like JBoss, talk with Alfresco [Software Inc.] and others about testing in Windows environments. Recently they said that in their Linux lab they were looking to integrate and host more open source projects rather than side against them.
I have been saying for the past year that Microsoft was missing a huge opportunity by pushing over open source prospects. With the Windows franchise, there is no reason why they should not be platform of choice, rather than people going straight to Linux.
Microsoft is again represented as an Open Source Business Conference (OSBC) participant. How does it fit into an open source conference?
Asay: Microsoft has always been involved in OSBC as a point/counterpoint component because an open source conference where everyone loves one other is not very useful.
I was at a conference recently with Sam Ramji of the Microsoft Emerging Business Team, and it was hard to distinguish him from the rest of the open source guys in the room. He was saying the same sorts of things, but obviously with a different mindset of what conducting business with open source meant to his company.
I might be naÏve on Microsoft -- there are pockets within it that are as belligerently against open source as they ever were -- but a majority of people there have a fairly nuanced view of open source. Microsoft is not always right with its perspective of software, but if the open source community tried to wall itself off and be the pizza-eating late night developers club, it could only have so much relevance.
Will there be a rise in the number of vendors selling tools for mixed Linux and Windows environments?
Asay: I do think there will be a greater number of open source companies -- like SugarCRM [Inc.], GroundWork [Open Source Solutions Inc.] and Centeris [Corp.] -- that will begin catering to the Windows platform. The process used to be to develop for Linux first and make a statement that the software was open source, but today when a vendor like Alfresco puts out the installer, the BitRock version will have Windows support first for at least a week or so before a Linux one arrives. There will be more emphasis on mixed environments, where open source companies support Windows not as a second class citizen but as an equal to Linux.
What can we expect to see at startup and project stages in 2006?
Asay: I finally think we are on the cusp of a mission critical, widely adopted enterprise open source application. Another great thing I see is that companies -- like LucidEra [Inc.] -- applying to be part of the OSBC showcase have never been heard of before. A year ago I could say I knew every single company that was coming to the conference.
Also, more and more open source applications will be developed for every layer of the software stack by much better companies. Enterprises will think of open source as their primary way of doing business. Right now it is still nipping at the heels of traditional software, but soon companies will have to have a pretty darn good reason why they are not doing business in an open source fashion.
There is a 'what's legal' theme at OSBC. Is GPLv3 [General Public License, version 3] headed in the right direction? What are your thought on its stance with DRM?
Asay: It is still a little early to say definitively, but [the GPL] is generally going in the right direction. You almost wonder if we are making too much of this, but I do trust that the attorneys have the best intentions of the community at heart.
I think [DRM] is like red meat to the wolves but I don't say that in the pejorative sense. It is a great headline but there are valid reasons for DRM. You have to feel for companies that try to make people pay for things they should be paying for anyway. Maybe the problem is that DRM has been implemented incorrectly.
On a side note, I don't see DRM using open source, but I do see Red Hat closing off access to their binaries through contracts, and I see SugarCRM and Alfresco closing off parts of code using copyrights. It is not enough to say you don't intend to close off bits and just charge for support. Paying for support is a very weak business model, and I can't point to any company that has been able to build a scalable business on it.

About The Order
The Order of the Engineer was initiated in the United States to foster a spirit of pride and responsibility in the engineering profession, to bridge the gap between training and experience, and to present to the public a visible symbol identifying the engineer.
The first ceremony was held on June 4, 1970 at Cleveland State University. Since then, similar ceremonies have been held across the United States at which graduate and registered engineers are invited to accept the Obligation of the Engineer and a stainless steel ring. The ceremonies are conducted by Links (local sections) of the Order.
The Order is not a membership organization; there are never any meetings to attend or dues to pay. Instead, the Order fosters a unity of purpose and the honoring of one's pledge lifelong.
The Obligation is a creed similar to the oath attributed to Hippocrates (460-377 B.C.) that is generally taken by medical graduates and which sets forth an ethical code. The Obligation likewise, contains parts of the Canon of Ethics of major engineering societies. Initiates, as they accept it voluntarily, pledge to uphold the standards and dignity of the engineering profession and to serve humanity by making the best use of Earth's precious wealth.
The Obligation of the Order of the Engineer is similar to the Canadian "Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer" initiated there in 1926. It uses a wrought iron ring, conducts a secret ceremony, and administers an oath authorized by Rudyard Kipling. The extension of the Ritual outside Canada was prevented by copyright and other conflicting factors. The basic premise, however, was adapted for the creation of the Order of the Engineer in the United States in 1970.
"Our next project is providing a banner for each link that desires to have a podium banner to use in the induction ceremony. A photo of the podium banner is shown in the newsletter on page 3. If your link would like to have one of these banners to display at your ceremony, let our Executive Director know in ample time to have it available before your next ceremony. Our BOG member Dr. Paul Hale has headed up this effort to help our Links enhance their ceremonial equipment."
