Lifetime Lear
BAM and Theatre for a New Audience announce
LIFETIME LEAR ——- A pass to every King Lear produced at BAM and Theatre for a New Audience, forever
Limited quantity available beginning April 2, 10am
April 1, 2014, Brooklyn——-Brooklyn Academy of Music and Theatre for a
New Audience will offer a special pass that includes a pair of seats to every production of William Shakespeare's King Lear presented by the Fort Greene cultural neighbors, beginning January 2015 until the end of time. Additional Brooklyn venues to be announced.
BAM Executive Producer Joseph V. Melillo said, "We are thrilled at the
prospect of offering true 'Learheads' guaranteed access to the many future productions of this essential tragedy." Added TFANA Founding Artistic Director Jeffrey Horowitz, "The Bard would surely approve of this profound pledge of loyalty to one of his finest works. Now and forever!"
This current season, each presenter will have had a run of King Lear.
BAM's, in January/February, by Chichester Festival Theatre, directed by
Angus Jackson, and starred Frank Langella. TFANA's, which runs through May 4, is directed by Arin Arbus and stars Michael Pennington. (This production is not included in Lifetime Lear). The enduring popularity and relevance of this play catalyzed the idea of creating Lifetime Lear.Other notable King Lear productions at BAM, approaching 20 in number since 1862, include portrayals by Edwin Booth, Ian McKellen, and Derek Jacobi.
Future productions will be announced with each upcoming season, but pass holders can already look forward to BAM's 2045 Winter/Spring Season, which will feature Ryan Gosling as Lear. Other popular actors being considered for the legendarily physically demanding role include Taylor Kitsch, whose brooding Tim Riggins on Friday Night Lights was undeniably practice for the dark king, and Girls' Adam Driver, whose tempestuousness and animal magnetism will no doubt serve him well. Also high on the list is new Brooklynite Patrick Stewart, whose Macbeth (2008, also with Chichester Festival Theatre) will be remembered fondly among Shakespeare's lengthy canon at BAM, in addition to his legacy as Captain Jean-Luc Picard on Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Kathryn Hunter, who portrayed Puck in Julie Taymor's production of A
Midsummer Night's Dream, the inaugural show at TFANA last fall, would be a natural to reprise the role of King Lear, which she has performed
previously. It is hoped that other actresses with the right stuff will also take on the role, such as Oscar winners Lupita Nyong'o, Meryl Streep, and, of course, Jennifer Lawrence.
A comprehensive, tailor-made humanities curriculum is currently being
designed. Events will include On Truth (and Lies) in Monarchy, which will
examine the vexing issues of absolute rule and unruly heirs, and a series of once-a-decade (ad infinitum) gatherings for Lifetime Lear patrons to discuss the shifting precepts of the play as viewed through the actual aging process.
Lifetime Lear goes on sale to Friends of BAM and current TFANA subscribers on Wednesday, April 2 at 10am, and to the general public on Monday, April 5 at 10am. The price of a pass is $16,060, in acknowledgement of 1606, the year of the play's writing; an installment plan is available. A total of 26 Lifetime Lear passes will be sold——-the number of scenes in King Lear. And two scholarship passes will be donated to patrons whose names will be drawn; you must enter to be considered.
The pass, good for a pair of premium location seats to each and every future performance, comes in the form of a braided crown of reeds to be designed by a Brooklyn artisanal milliner, custom fitted to each Learhead's pate. (The reeds are symbolic of nettles, thorns, and hemlock, which will not be used in order to avoid poisoning.) The bearer will also receive a throne crafted of recycled materials from Hurricane Sandy's wreckage, that——-like Lear's eroding grasp on his facilities and throne——-disintegrates with the inexorable passage of time; plus a crystal ball containing a miniature tempest that flares up on performance dates as a handy calendar reminder.
Note: Lifetime Lear passes are non-transferable, even between generations. BAM and TFANA cannot be responsible for Acts of God or by decree of the King. BAM and TFANA employees and their relatives may not enter to win the scholarship passes, but may purchase one pass at the standard employee discount.

History keeps hope alive for former Sen. John Edwards.
He is on the campaign bus again this week, rolling down some of the same Iowa highways he has been traversing for years now.
But when a reporter brought up the aura of "inevitability" surrounding the national front-runners, Edwards leaned forward and offered a flashback to 2003.
It was around this time that summer, when he was driving down these Iowa highways still trying to get recognized, that former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean looked like the Democrat's likely nominee.
"I lived through an 'inevitable' campaign in 2003," he told a small group of reporters, with his wife, Elizabeth, grinning at his side.
Edwards' point is that it's early. That anyone who thinks the nominations can be wrapped up five months before the first caucus votes are cast in Iowa just doesn't know their history.
That's his hope — that with an Iowa caucus win, he'll gain the momentum to overtake Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and Sen. Barack Obama and then keep winning.
Still, as the bus rumbled between the cornfields, Edwards conceded that this election season is moving at break-neck speed. At this point before the January 2004 caucuses, "I didn't feel this level of intensity," he said.
This time, he starts with a bigger name, but he's up against two others who have been hogging much of the national spotlight. So in a series of stops Monday — from Des Moines to Perry, Jefferson, Carroll and beyond, he took a stab at the auras surrounding both of his leading rivals.
Edwards implied that Clinton is too much of an establishment figure in an era that demands change. What's more, he said, she has declined to be specific on things like universal health care, apparently trying to blur any distinctions between Democrats.
"Sen. Clinton takes the stage in debate after debate and says, 'We're all for the same thing.'" Edwards said. "If that's true, where is her proposal?"
He gives Obama credit for offering a detailed health care plan — even if he disagrees with it. But then he questions Obama's claim for the change-agent mantle.
"I don't think you can change things by just compromising."
Iowa has long been considered an Edwards stronghold, but one recent poll suggests it's now a three-way dead-heat. And this week Clinton's campaign announced its first TV ad blitz in Iowa, portraying her as the candidate who stands up for working people.
That hits right at the core of Edwards' populist appeal, built on his frequent speeches about the plight of workers and the poor.
As Edwards heard in an audience member's question in Jefferson on Monday, some voters can't decide between him and Obama as a Clinton alternative.
"I think both of them represent a distinct change in America, and I think America is ready. We want something dramatic done," said farmer Gene Blanshan of Panora, who asked Edwards to draw contrasts. "(Clinton) certainly is not 'Bush lite.' She's just not the advocate of change I'd like to see."
Edwards makes it sound as if this part — the primary contest — will be the toughest part of winning the White House.
Get him to the general election, and "the case is not hard." He said he'll get into the debate, stand next to a Republican and tell voters: "Want four more years of the war in Iraq? Vote for him. Want four more years of what you're paying for health insurance today . . . ? Do you like what you're paying for gasoline? Do you like what happened to America in the world? Vote for him."
But can Edwards continue marching toward that debate stage? So much of his hopes hinge on Iowa that this is where the question will be answered. So that's why, yet again, he's riding the roads between the cornfields.

3 Responses to "Dealing with inevitability"
Yes!! I like John Edwards, who earned his wealth and saw his father work in the mills. He knows what it's like to be poor and to work hard. If you look into the background of any candidate, you will find something (or many things) worse than a $400 haircut. So he's a trial lawyer. So bite me. He stood up for poor people against hospitals and incompetent doctors. I'm the daughter of a doctor who, If he were still living, would be livid at the way medecine is practiced today. I find more to like in Edwards than any other candidate today. I feel he can make a real change for the better in American society and restore the Constitution.
Edwards also has an important advantage over Clinton: He could actually win the general election! Senator Clinton would probably make a fine President, but I think her negatives are too high with the Independant Voters to win.
There are just too many rabid Clinton-haters out there, and all of Bill's baggage gets heaped on Hillory's cart, fair or not.
Then there are all the simpletons who don't even understand the issues but pick their candidate on silly things like race or appearance. All the men with deep-seated gender/power issues. All the women who can't trust other women because they see them as competitors…
Unfortunately, I think Senator Clinton will likely win the nomination and then lose the general election.
I have read enough about his $400 hair cut, his enormous house and the fact that he is called by naysayers "an abulance chaser" He can afford the haircuts & the house because he was a one of the nations most brilliant and acclaimed trial lawyers specializing in corporate negligence & medical mal practice. In a word "successful" !
I currently find myself prefering John Edwards over all the other candidates and I hope he surprises the nation by recieving the Democratic nominaton…I doubt if he can come up with the support it will take to pull off getting it..but if he does…I think he could very possibly be our next President. Just imagine after 8 yrs of having Bush as President to have a man who is truely educated, intelligent, well read, an eloquent speaker, respected, successful by his own hard work! What a complete and welcome change is all I have to say.

Most of these algorithms avoid the known hardness results by defining parameters beyond the number of states that can be used to quantify the complexity of learning automata under a particular distribution. One such class of methods are the so-called spectral algorithms that measure learning complexity in terms of the smallest singular value of some Hankel matrix. However, despite their simplicity and wide applicability to real problems, their impact in application domains remains marginal to this date. One of the goals of this paper is to remedy this situation by presenting a derivation of the spectral method for learning WFA that—without sacrificing rigor and mathematical elegance—puts emphasis on providing intuitions on the inner workings of the method and does not assume a strong background in formal algebraic methods. In addition, our algorithm overcomes some of the shortcomings of previous work and is able to learn from statistics of substrings. To illustrate the approach we present experiments on a real application of the method to natural language parsing. 2013-12-20T11:07:41Z A Constraint-Based Hypergraph Partitioning Approach to Coreference Resolution http://hdl.handle.net/2117/20965 Title: A Constraint-Based Hypergraph Partitioning Approach to Coreference Resolution Authors: Sapena Masip, Emilio; Padró, Lluís; Turmo Borras, Jorge Abstract: This work is focused on research in machine learning for coreference resolution. Coreference resolution is a natural language processing task that consists of determining the expressions in a discourse that refer to the same entity. The main contributions of this article are (i) a new approach to coreference resolution based on constraint satisfaction, using a hypergraph to represent the problem and solving it by relaxation labeling; and (ii) research towards improving coreference resolution performance using world knowledge extracted from Wikipedia. The developed approach is able to use an entity-mention classification model with more expressiveness than the pair-based ones, and overcome the weaknesses of previous approaches in the state of the art such as linking contradictions, classifications without context, and lack of information evaluating pairs. Furthermore, the approach allows the incorporation of new information by adding constraints, and research has been done in order to use world knowledge to improve performances. RelaxCor, the implementation of the approach, achieved results at the state-of-the-art level, and participated in international competitions: SemEval-2010 and CoNLL-2011. RelaxCor achieved second place in CoNLL-2011. 2013-12-10T19:11:30Z Plagiarism meets paraphrasing: insights for the next generation in automatic plagiarism detection http://hdl.handle.net/2117/20297 Title: Plagiarism meets paraphrasing: insights for the next generation in automatic plagiarism detection Authors: Barrón Cedeño, Luis Alberto; Vila, Marta; Martí, Maria Antonia; Rosso, Paolo Abstract: Although paraphrasing is the linguistic mechanism underlying many plagiarism cases, little attention has been paid to its analysis in the framework of automatic plagiarism detection. Therefore, state-of-the-art plagiarism detectors find it difficult to detect cases of paraphrase plagiarism. In this article, we analyze the relationship between paraphrasing and plagiarism, paying special attention to which paraphrase phenomena underlie acts of plagiarism and which of them are detected by plagiarism detection systems. With this aim in mind, we created the P4P corpus, a new resource that uses a paraphrase typology to annotate a subset of the PAN-PC-10 corpus for automatic plagiarism detection. The results of the Second International Competition on Plagiarism Detection were analyzed in the light of this annotation. The presented experiments show that (i) more complex paraphrase phenomena and a high density of paraphrase mechanisms make plagiarism detection more difficult, (ii) lexical substitutions are the paraphrase mechanisms used the most when plagiarizing, and (iii) paraphrase mechanisms tend to shorten the plagiarized text. For the first time, the paraphrase mechanisms behind plagiarism have been analyzed, providing critical insights for the improvement of automatic plagiarism detection systems. 2013-10-04T08:32:27Z Methods for cross-language plagiarism detection http://hdl.handle.net/2117/20275 Title: Methods for cross-language plagiarism detection Authors: Barrón Cedeño, Luis Alberto; Gupta, P.; Rosso, Paolo Abstract: Three reasons make plagiarism across languages to be on the rise: (i) speakers of under-resourced languages often consult documentation in a foreign language, (ii) people immersed in a foreign country can still consult material written in their native language, and (iii) people are often interested in writing in a language different to their native one. Most efforts for automatically detecting cross-language plagiarism depend on a preliminary translation, which is not always available. In this paper we propose a freely available architecture for plagiarism detection across languages covering the entire process: heuristic retrieval, detailed analysis, and post-processing. On top of this architecture we explore the suitability of three cross-language similarity estimation models: Cross-Language Alignment-based Similarity Analysis (CL-ASA), Cross-Language Character n-Grams (CL-CNG), and Translation plus Monolingual Analysis (T + MA); three inherently different models in nature and required resources. The three models are tested extensively under the same conditions on the different plagiarism detection sub-tasks—something never done before. The experiments show that T+MA produces the best results, closely followed by CL-ASA. Still CL-ASA obtains higher values of precision, an important factor in plagiarism detection when lesser user intervention is desired. 2013-10-03T10:02:00Z Joint arc-factored parsing of syntactic and semantic dependencies http://hdl.handle.net/2117/19808 Title: Joint arc-factored parsing of syntactic and semantic dependencies Authors: Lluis Martorell, Xavier; Carreras Pérez, Xavier; Màrquez Villodre, Lluís Abstract: In this paper we introduce a joint arc-factored model for syntactic and semantic dependency parsing. The semantic role labeler predicts the full syntactic paths that connect predicates with their arguments. This process is framed as a linear assignment task, which allows to control some well-formedness constraints. For the syntactic part, we define a standard arc-factored dependency model that predicts the full syntactic tree. Finally, we employ dual decomposition techniques to produce consistent syntactic and predicate-argument structures while searching over a large space of syntactic configurations. In experiments on the CoNLL-2009 English benchmark we observe very competitive results. 2013-07-04T11:19:31Z The Evolution of the exponent of Zipf's law in language ontogeny http://hdl.handle.net/2117/19413 Title: The Evolution of the exponent of Zipf's law in language ontogeny Authors: Baixeries i Juvillà, Jaume; Elvevag, Brita; Ferrer Cancho, Ramon Abstract: It is well-known that word frequencies arrange themselves according to Zipf's law. However, little is known about the dependency of the parameters of the law and the complexity of a communication system. Many models of the evolution of language assume that the exponent of the law remains constant as the complexity of a communication systems increases. Using longitudinal studies of child language, we analysed the word rank distribution for the speech of children and adults participating in conversations. The adults typically included family members (e.g., parents) or the investigators conducting the research. Our analysis of the evolution of Zipf's law yields two main unexpected results. First, in children the exponent of the law tends to decrease over time while this tendency is weaker in adults, thus suggesting this is not a mere mirror effect of adult speech. Second, although the exponent of the law is more stable in adults, their exponents fall below 1 which is the typical value of the exponent assumed in both children and adults. Our analysis also shows a tendency of the mean length of utterances (MLU), a simple estimate of syntactic complexity, to increase as the exponent decreases. The parallel evolution of the exponent and a simple indicator of syntactic complexity (MLU) supports the hypothesis that the exponent of Zipf's law and linguistic complexity are inter-related. The assumption that Zipf's law for word ranks is a power-law with a constant exponent of one in both adults and children needs to be revised. 2013-05-27T14:04:20Z The parameters of Menzerath-Altmann law in genomes http://hdl.handle.net/2117/19025 Title: The parameters of Menzerath-Altmann law in genomes Authors: Baixeries i Juvillà, Jaume; Hernández Fernández, Antonio; Forns, Núria; Ferrer Cancho, Ramon Abstract: The relationship between the size of the whole and the size of the parts in language and music is known to follow the Menzerath-Altmann law at many levels of description (morphemes, words, sentences, …). Qualitatively, the law states that the larger the whole, the smaller its parts, e.g. the longer a word (in syllables) the shorter its syllables (in letters or phonemes). This patterning has also been found in genomes: the longer a genome (in chromosomes), the shorter its chromosomes (in base pairs). However, it has been argued recently that mean chromosome length is trivially a pure power function of chromosome number with an exponent of -1. The functional dependency between mean chromosome size and chromosome number in groups of organisms from three different kingdoms is studied. The fit of a pure power function yields exponents between -1.6 and 0.1. It is shown that an exponent of -1 is unlikely for fungi, gymnosperm plants, insects, reptiles, ray-finned fishes and amphibians. Even when the exponent is very close to -1, adding an exponential component is able to yield a better fit with regard to a pure power-law in plants, mammals, ray-finned fishes and amphibians. The parameters of the Menzerath-Altmann law in genomes deviate significantly from a power law with a -1 exponent with the exception of birds and cartilaginous fishes. 2013-04-26T18:45:28Z The use of domain ontologies for improving the adaptability and collaborative ability of a web dialogue system http://hdl.handle.net/2117/17511 Title: The use of domain ontologies for improving the adaptability and collaborative ability of a web dialogue system Authors: González Bermúdez, Meritxell; Gatius Vila, Marta Abstract: Dialogue systems can be used for guiding the users accessing web services, enhancing the web usability. However, they are expensive to develop and difficult to adapt to different types of web services. The knowledge model of a web service can be seen as the basis to define the semantics of the information to be exchanged among the components of a dialogue system. This approach facilitates the integration of the different types of knowledge involved in human-machine communication and provides a unified framework easier to apply to new web services. Furthermore, the representation of the web service knowledge according to an ontology can enhance the reasoning capabilities of the underlying system. This article describes the use of domain ontologies in a mixed-initiative web dialogue system for improving both its adaptability and its collaborative ability. 2013-01-24T13:39:27Z Sibyl, a factoid question answering system for spoken documents http://hdl.handle.net/2117/17486 Title: Sibyl, a factoid question answering system for spoken documents Authors: Comas Umbert, Pere Ramon; Turmo Borras, Jorge; Màrquez Villodre, Lluís Abstract: In this article, we present a factoid question-answering system, Sibyl, specifically tailored for question answering (QA) on spoken-word documents. This work explores, for the first time, which techniques can be robustly adapted from the usual QA on written documents to the more difficult spoken document scenario. More specifically, we study new information retrieval (IR) techniques designed or speech, and utilize several levels of linguistic information for the speech-based QA task. These include named-entity detection with phonetic information, syntactic parsing applied to speech transcripts, and the use of coreference resolution. Sibyl is largely based on supervised machine-learning techniques, with special focus on the answer extraction step, and makes little use of handcrafted knowledge. Consequently, it should be easily adaptable to other domains and languages. Sibyl and all its modules are extensively evaluated on the European Parliament Plenary Sessions English corpus, comparing manual with automatic transcripts obtained by three different automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems that exhibit significantly different word error rates. This data belongs to the CLEF 2009 track for QA on speech transcripts. The main results confirm that syntactic information is very useful for learning to rank question candidates, improving results on both manual and automatic transcripts, unless the ASR quality is very low. At the same time, our experiments on coreference resolution reveal that the state-of-the-art technology is not mature enough to be effectively exploited for QA with spoken documents. Overall, the performance of Sibyl is comparable or better than the state-of-the-art on this corpus, confirming the validity of our approach. 2013-01-23T10:01:13Z A hybrid approach to treebank construction http://hdl.handle.net/2117/16727 Title: A hybrid approach to treebank construction Authors: Marimon, Montserrat; Padró, Lluís Abstract: Este artículo describe investigación sobre los efectos de la desambiguación morfosintáctica usada como un preproceso de un analizador sintáctico profundo basado en HPSG, en el contexto del desarrollo de un treebank del español de código abierto, en el entorno de DELPH-IN. La anotación treebank se realiza manualmente tomando las decisiones apropiadas entre las opciones propuestas por el sistema y ordenadas por un módulo estadístico. Los experimentos presentados muestran que el uso de un etiquetador reduce la ambigüedad de las frases, y contribuye a limitar la cantidad de frases cuyo análisis sobrepasa el límite de tiempo, y ayuda a al módulo estadístico a clasificar el árbol correcto entre los mejores. Por un lado, nuestros resultados validan los beneficios ya reportados en la literatura de tal preproceso de análisis profundo con respecto a la velocidad, cobertura y precisión. Por otro lado, proponemos una estrategia basada en existentes herramientas de código abierto y recursos para desarrollar con alta consitencia treebanks de sintaxis profunda para idiomas con limitada disponibilidad de recursos lingüísticos. 2012-10-16T09:42:39Z Analizadores Multilingües en FreeLing http://hdl.handle.net/2117/14772 Title: Analizadores Multilingües en FreeLing Authors: Padró, Lluís Abstract: FreeLing es una librería de código abierto para el procesamiento multilíngüe automático, que proporciona una amplia gama de servicios de análisis lingüístico para diversos idiomas. FreeLing ofrece a los desarrolladores de aplicaciones de Procesamiento del Lenguaje Natural funciones de análisis y anotación lingüística de textos, con la consiguiente reducción del coste de construcción de dichas aplicaciones. FreeLing es personalizable y ampliable, y está fuertemente orientado a aplicaciones del mundo real en términos de velocidad y robustez. Los desarrolladores pueden utilizar los recursos lingüísticos por defecto (diccionarios, lexicones, gramáticas, etc), ampliarlos, adaptarlos a dominios particulares, o –dado que la librería es de código abierto– desarrollar otros nuevos para idiomas específicos o necesidades especiales de las aplicaciones. Este artículo presenta los principales cambios y mejoras incluidos en la versión 3.0 de FreeLing, y resume algunos proyectos industriales relevantes en los que se ha utilizado 2012-01-24T12:44:21Z Enhanced plant fault diagnosis based on the characterization of transient stages http://hdl.handle.net/2117/14671 Title: Enhanced plant fault diagnosis based on the characterization of transient stages Authors: Monroy, Isaac; Benítez Iglesias, Raúl; Escudero Bakx, Gerard; Graells Sobré, Moisès Abstract: This paper introduces a data-based fault diagnosis system that includes an enhanced characterization of faults during transient stages. First, data under abnormal operating conditions (AOC) is projected onto a reference PCA model constructed with data under normal operating conditions (NOC). T2 and Q-statistic measures of this first PCA model are both used to detect the fault and to estimate the duration and delay of its transient evolution. After a dimensionality reduction, a second NOC PCA model is used to process data before diagnosing the faults by standard classification methods such as Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) or Support Vector Machines (SVM). A quantitative validation of the procedure has been carried out using simulated on-line data sets of the Tennessee Eastman Process (TEP). Results indicate that the incorporation of transient data in models improves the overall diagnosis performance, regardless of the particular choice between the statistical methods or the classification methods. 2012-01-19T12:10:25Z Random models of Menzerath-Altmann law in genomes http://hdl.handle.net/2117/14563 Title: Random models of Menzerath-Altmann law in genomes Authors: Baixeries i Juvillà, Jaume; Hernández Fernández, Antonio; Ferrer Cancho, Ramon Abstract: Recently, a random breakage model has been proposed to explain the negative correlation between mean chromosome length and chromosome number that is found in many groups of species and is consistent with Menzerath–Altmann law, a statistical law that defines the dependency between the mean size of the whole and the number of parts in quantitative linguistics. Here, the central assumption of the model, namely that genome size is independent from chromosome number is reviewed. This assumption is shown to be unrealistic from the perspective of chromosome structure and the statistical analysis of real genomes. A general class of random models, including that random breakage model, is analyzed. For any model within this class, a power law with an exponent of −1 is predicted for the expectation of the mean chromosome size as a function of chromosome length, a functional dependency that is not supported by real genomes. The random breakage and variants keeping genome size and chromosome number independent raise no serious objection to the relevance of correlations consistent with Menzerath–Altmann law across taxonomic groups and the possibility of a connection between human language and genomes through that law. 2012-01-16T11:48:19Z Hacia la interacción en lenguaje natural http://hdl.handle.net/2117/13829 Title: Hacia la interacción en lenguaje natural Authors: Fuentes Fort, Maria; González Bermúdez, Meritxell Abstract: En éste documento se presenta la investigación que está siendo llevada a cabo en el Grupo de Procesamiento de Lenguaje Natural (GPLN) de la Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña (UPC).

Minority Report Reviews
New Yorker
The worst thing about the new Steven Spielberg picture is the title, Minority Report. The best thing about it is pretty much everything else.
Total Film
This is a grown-up movie by men who've suddenly realised that their inner Peter Pans have deserted them.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Baltimore Sun
Too much of Minority Report is facile, albeit at a very high level.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
Wall Street Journal
Though his movie wraps challenging ideas and ingenious visual conceits in a futurist film-noir style, it's pretentious, didactic and intentionally but mercilessly bleak.
Radio Times
This masterfully sleek vision of the future from director Steven Spielberg is an awesome mix of skewed science fiction, twisty Hitchcock-style thrills, stunning blue-grey tinged photography and outstanding design.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Screen International
[Minority Report] takes themes from Blade Runner, Total Recall and especially the little seen Gary Fleder-directed Impostor and stirs them up into an absorbing thriller.
New York Magazine/Vulture
High-concept science-fiction escapades often try to impose new ways of seeing, but Spielberg seems intent on blistering our optic nerves.
Associated Press
For its stunning visuals and standout performances, Minority Report -- or at least the first three-fourths of it -- might just be the best movie so far this year.
The movie's combination of old and new influences energizes its believable futuristic elements.
Full Review | Original Score: A-
Lessons of Darkness
Not simply Steven Spielberg's most prescient sci-fi work but also one of his finest.
Full Review | Original Score: B+
Common Sense Media
Violent sci-fi detective movie isn't for kids.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5
Vigorously entertaining and tremendously weird, "Minority Report" feels like a vintage Action Comics adventure spiked with acid. It's an uncommonly melancholy blockbuster about demons ruthlessly determining our fate even as we relentlessly flee them.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/4
Ferociously intense, furiously kinetic, it's expressionist film noir science fiction that, like all good sci-fi, peers into the future to shed light on the present.
Dark Horizons
One of the few films I've seen so far this year that I would recommend and it is one to see on the big screen.
While the way in which Minority Report presents these ideas makes them far more incredible and fantastical, it's their truth...that turns the film into something far more dark and sinister.
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5
Movie Metropolis
...a stylish, thoughtful, and thought-provoking future-noir thriller.
Full Review | Original Score: 8/10
Cinema Crazed
This has to be one of Spielberg's best ever...
The most fun a Spielberg film has been for a long while.
The most exciting piece of work Spielberg has delivered in ages.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/5
Eye for Film
Brilliantly realised, complex and humane, Minority Report is easily on a par with Blade Runner as one of the best adaptations of Philip K Dick's work ever made.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/5

There was something foreboding in the air that day, the animals knew it first. I remember turning on the radio and hearing nothing but dead-air static on WWOZ, a chilling sound.
Check it out, it's me!
The world lost a musical giant on Monday, August 5, when genre-crossing keyboardist and producer George Duke passed away at age 67 after a battle with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), as reported by his label Concord Records.
All month long in New York City, Lincoln Center has been hosting a fantastic series of free concerts in their outdoor bandshell, with a very eclectic lineup. Last Friday, they focused on the worldly traditions of Carnaval. Of course, there's no one better to carry the New Orleans Carnaval torch than the legendary Big Chief Monk Boudreaux and his Golden Eagles. An elder statesman of the Mardi Gras Indian tradition, Monk has the strength and leadership of a tribal chief with the ancient wisdom and worldly intuitiveness of a true medicine man, and a great ear for music to round it out. He uplifted and inspired the crowd at Lincoln Center with his unique songs, delivered wonderfully by a great band and noble stature on stage, adorned in a bright yellow headdress and scaled-down suit that bolstered some splendidly sewn beaded patches. I was happy to recognize old friends Joe Gelini holding it down on drums and boogie-woogie professor Tom Worrell on keys. The band sounded great. Monk also had his old friend's son Bo Dollis Jr. onstage singing backup and sporting a gorgeous bright blue-feathered suit with some lovely beaded patches. To those in the crowd who'd never seen a Mardi Gras Indian, Monk and the boys gave them quite a memorable experience that will no doubt stay with them for years to come, and for me, a New Orleanian "in exile", who has marched many miles with the Big Chief on the streets of New Orleans, it was very cool to see him perform in such a different setting and see a different crowd react to Monk's wonderful gifts.

A Ray Charles tune in which Brother Ray doesn't sing and David "Fathead" Newman doesn't play tenor sax.
A ballad which is not so sedate, from possibly the best known New Orleans alto player.

Yeah this kinda blows. What i reckon you should do is go to another guild, there isn't any sense in hanging around.
Actually scratch that, see if the guild will let you run a 10 man gearing run on the side- sure I know your after the 25 goodies, but it shows you'll stick around and that your willing to help. Just quitting makes you look like the Diva all tanks and healers are.
I imagine theres about 4 times as many DPS in your guild in the same boat, sure you may have to pug the odd healer, help the other folk on the sidelines gear up maybe. But in the long run its just way more satisfying having a solid 10 man group get to end game- it just means more.
If its one o the top raid guilds then yeah I imagine they have some thing like- "you have to just be available if some one drops"- if thats the case, then bugger them.
I don't quite see the attraction of that sort of guild, I know the need to replace the tank cause he has to go. But I would never expect them to sit around twiddling they're thumbs "just in case".
Long and short of it- if your not "allowed" to take the folk left out on a ICC/TOC raid in the meantime, leave your guild. Have a scout around for friendly raiding guild- theres bound to be a good few that need a tank.
But mind I don't know you, I don't know your guild and how they operate- end of the day if your getting left out for no real reason, there isn't a point in staying.
"I imagine theres about 4 times as many DPS in your guild in the same boat, sure you may have to pug the odd healer, help the other folk on the sidelines gear up maybe. But in the long run its just way more satisfying having a solid 10 man group get to end game- it just means more."
We don't know that there are 4 times as many DPS in his shoes *in that guild*. The original letter doesn't say that, only that 35-40 people show up every night. Are the DPS getting rotated in? What about the healers? If it's only the 5th tank (in his case) getting benched night after night, well... Something's wrong, and it isn't with Frustrated. Two months of this kind of thing suggests that they're content to let him sit. As for the advice that the RLs might not have confidence in his ability, well then, why did they take him in? If they're just trying to have a warm body to throw into the mix in case they run short of tanks, at least they should have the decency to tell him that. "Be patient" for 4+ weeks, 3 nights a week? That's going to get seriously old, very fast.
Your suggestion to have him essentially form up a solid 10-man within the guild structure is a good one. There are some top-caliber raiders who are burning out on 25-mans, but still want to raid. And it's been said by some that the 10-mans have less room for error, that everybody has to be on target to drop the content. (And I think that's true.) Some of those folks will prefer the challenge of the 10-mans over the 25's. Frustrated should see if he can find those folks.
Finally, there's a good possibility that a dedicated 10-man can progress further, faster into a raid instance than a 25, simple because of the encounter-tuning. 10-mans tend to be less demanding of total DPS-output, for example, so some high-output folks might able to knife through a boss that rocks the 25-man group back a few times. Being a part of that kind of 10-man could result in being a kind of "vanguard" group that reports on weird mechanics, or strategies that work well (or vice-versa). All good reasons to see if spooling up a 10-man group can be done.
Good luck, Frustrated!

In my experience of running ICC, there isn't really a lot of stuff for tanks. I use my rogue main for the ICC runs, maybe I'm just lucky, but I seem to get at least one or 2 drops per run- and least that many chances to roll.
Our 10 man crews have one rogue each, no special reason- just they way it is. 10 man runs I was getting bout 4 pieces per run (axes, trinkets, armour + emblems and rep). Sure there's hunters on our 10 mans - but as i say I've been lucky (we don't do funny loot rolls, and ye the hunters have gotten gear they need).
On the otherside of it- tanks really don't have that much stuff they can roll on in ICC- its either leather melee DPS, or something casters have a hard on for.
Rotating DPS I suppose seems reasonable, but why not do that with tanks? mainly because you have to rely on them working together in a lot of the ICC bosses, and if you do rotate a tank on a boss that may drop tank gear, it pisses the rotated guy right off (whether they really need the drop or not, everyone wants new gear) - when a tank has his place in a constant raid crew, they stick with it unless they can't play for whatever reason.
Yes 10 man runs are a demand, especially if your doing it with folk you don't know (by that I mean you will have a vast amount of dps begging to join, then asking "what are tactics" at the boss- its a real drag. Its why frustrated has a problem getting a place, the raid doesn't know him, or hasn't raided with him so don't want to take a chance on him.
2 months with out a bone is a long time to go, "be patient" doesn't cut it, what you need to do is get a raid crew of your own on the go- and be prepared to see f all tank gear (ICC has bugger all, but its fun). Your a tank, there is no requirement for you to stay with any particular guild. You deserve to play end game, thats why you pay subscription.
Don't be afraid to go it alone, if you get on with the guild then stay. But what ever you do- don't get forced to sit with your thumb up your arse- get your own raid on the go, take your guildies that are left in the same position. PuG what you need, if they're decent players then friend them- if your guildies that do come suck nads and don't learn, don't take them. If it comes to it that the guild leadership gets pissed off that you do this- then sod them- tell them to go suck a lemon! Your a tank you can do what you want (long as you ain't a dick about it).
If your in a "top" raiding guild just because its top, then you have made a massive mistake- they have they're raid group organised, your a last resort.
P.S i know there are 4 times as many DPS in the same spot in the same guild, just because its completely unbelievable that they are healers or tanks, less I'm on some funny realm where those 2 classes are in short supply...

No Arthas means the Scourge wouldn't have moved far outside Lordaeron and they wouldn't have had an ambulatory leader.
No Dark Portal means Stormwindwouldn't have fallen and they would have been in a position to help with the Dwarf in-fighting, the Scourge outbreak, Gnomeregan and other occurrences. (And Stromgarde and Gilneas would be around as well to help.)
No Thrall.. hmm.. the Humans going west might have met the Darkspears and Taurens, then the Elves, for a more unified and earlier assembled stand against Archimonde? Plus no Orcs means Cenarius would have stomped Mannoroth into the dust. Oh, and all the soldiers Lordaeron had running around tracking Orcs would have been free to worry about those rumours of the dead rising.
Just guessing with those, but (especially with the Dark Portal) I usually wanted to stand back and let the Infinites do their thing. But those by-the-book bribing Bronze bastards kept offering me gear.

Another much-awaited game hits the scene, on it's 3rd sequel, Uncharted 3 has a well deserved place in the modern 3rd person shooter genre.

It's been some months and still no progres in this matter but maybe time will solve this issue. Maybe you'll turn to the original version in which case i say the usual expresion: "Have fun!".

A lot of good is going on in the inner city. But the last two decades have also underscored how many problems remain, as stubborn and persistent as a strangling weed.
- Bio | E-mail | Recent columns
SHARE YOUR STORY: L.A. riots
South L.A., Mack said, "is a mix of success and failure. But you know what? We have to keep on."
Why should we listen to him? From 1969 until 2005, Mack led the Los Angeles Urban League, one of the nation's most prominent civil rights groups. It was a job that made him a pillar in the city's black community — a voice for those without one.
This was hardly an easy gig. He was a promoter of business and education and keeping families strong. He was also a firm LAPD critic, leery of the department's racially dubious past, long critical of Daryl Gates. Chief from 1978 until 1992, Gates was a man whose unenlightened views produce shivers, even today. For example, replying to a question about cop chokeholds, he said: "We may be finding in some blacks that when it is applied, the veins or arteries do not open up as fast as on normal people."
That's right: normal people.
When Mack, now 75, retired from the Urban League, he found himself in an odd position for a man who'd been a thorn in the LAPD's side. He was appointed to the Police Commission — a watchdog role he still inhabits and one that gave him a clear view as the department struggled to break from a past shaped by Gates and his ilk.
"Had the LAPD had the relationship with the community 20 years ago that it has today, I'm sure there would have been outbursts, but I don't think we'd have anything like the terrible devastation we saw in 1992," said Mack, who sees the new LAPD as being the best in the nation.
He praised former Chief William Bratton and his successor, Charlie Beck, as all-important keys to the reform. "We've witnessed changes in that department that at one time I did not think were possible," Mack said.
Still, there's a lot more to the story of South L.A. all these years later.
We left our lunch spot — Harold and Belle's Creole on Jefferson Boulevard — and hopped inside Mack's Lincoln Town Car for a neighborhood tour. He let the memories spill out, starting with how on April 29, 1992, he huddled at the First African Methodist Episcopal Church, watching the verdict, feeling the awful emotion as the four LAPD officers were acquitted in the beating and arrest of Rodney King.
Then came reports of trouble. The intersection of Florence and Normandie avenues quickly erupted in violence as a frustrated community turned its anger inward and spread it outward. Mack remembers leaving the church and hitting the streets, trying desperately to calm things down amid burning businesses and the crackle of gunfire.
In the Crenshaw district we drove past the new light rail line, still being worked on but set to soon connect the neighborhood with downtown and the Westside. We saw new businesses on streets that had seen plenty of fire. Mack recounted walking through the area with President George H.W. Bush. The talk in those days was of partnership with the private sector. Massive corporate investments — billions of dollars' worth, some said — wouldn't merely revive South L.A. but would make it an urban jewel.
It didn't take but a few years for all the heady talk of reinvestment to sputter and fade.
When the commissioner drove to a building that once housed an automotive repair training center run by the Urban League and financed by Toyota, it became clear the private sector has its limits. The center operated for just over a decade and trained roughly 3,000 people, Mack said.
Then it closed. One of the reasons? Trouble finding enough applicants who could meet basic academic requirements — like reading at the eighth-grade level.
"Public education," Mack said, pursing his lips. "It's a disaster.… Our kids are going to either be provided with the right preparation for a new job market or they are going to be condemned to the second-rate, dependent on government for various types of services and their dignity in many ways destroyed."

Average? No, no - that's just not for me,
Questioning everything's where I must be.
Universally speaking, the stars are my home;
Art is my passion, where free-mind can roam;
Receptive and open I love, give and dream,
Ideas come quickly – I say what I mean;
Unique is my forte, I'm kind and I'm cool;
Sweeping, far-reaching - I make my own rules!

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Nothing says I didn't enjoy my alt. I have a great time on my rogue, even if I do run in cloth and look rather silly. I merely suggest cloth heirlooms as a means to get to an end. Sure the leveling process is meant to be a time to really explore and learn about the class. But anything that can speed that up is a plus, especially if you don't play your main enough to be able to buy all those items you've mentioned.
If I "planned" everything out to get all that you suggest, with the schedule I have, I still wouldn't have even started playing a Rogue alt. I suggest Cloth Heirlooms simply because you can buy them once, use them everywhere. It saves you time and badges that you can use for other items/weapons. Leveling is a phase that doesn't matter so much once you've gone through it with at least one toon and you can learn plenty about your class as you level regardless of what you wear.
