Breaking Bad #510: "Buried" (Updated)
Your breathless Breaking Bad commentary will be a bit delayed this week. (It turns out two-month-olds are just not that into prestige television.) But I am putting this post up now so that you all can weigh in with your own impressions of last night's episode. I'll be back with my own thoughts soon.
In the meanwhile, may I also second Celia Wren's endorsement of the BBC America mystery series Broadchurch. We're hooked after the first two episodes, and it's breaking up the long weeks between Breaking Bad instalments nicely, as we swing eagerly from one midweek cliffhanger to the next.
UPDATE (8/20): Thanks, all, for your patience and your comments -- and if you haven't read Grant's thorough recap in the comments below, go ahead and do that now. My thoughts after the jump:
"Buried" was a lower-key episode than what preceded it (and what's likely to follow), dedicated mainly to the necessary revelations and confrontations that follow from Hank's discovery. But the Lydia sequence, at
Duncan's Declan's desert lab, still packed a major punch -- Walt's criminal activity is still causing death and destruction, regardless of his attempt to wash his hands of the consequences. In fact, you could say that this particular burst of death and destruction is a direct result of his attempt to wash his hands of what he created. Lydia tried going to him first. Even Duncan Declan said as much before he got mown down. Walt won't cooperate; now Lydia solves things her way. (More on that later.)
Although the series has always been about Walt's journey, this episode gave us a grim look at the parallel journeys of Skyler, Hank, and Marie. (We already know what it's done to Jesse, who mostly sat this episode out.) Like Grant, I was struck by the tenderness of the scene with Walt and Skyler in the bathroom. It's been so long since we've seen them interact that way. But it wasn't exactly pleasing. It's coming too late. When Skyler said she couldn't remember the last time she was happy, she was being unusually honest with Walt and with herself. But she is past the point where much good can come from it. There aren't any prospects for happiness in her future, either. She has finally committed to complicity in Walt's crimes, in order to share his ill-gotten gains. After having threatened again and again to go to the police and break up the family in order to save the kids, Skyler now has the chance to do just that, with Walt powerless to hurt her any further -- and instead she decides to join him in thinking they can get away with it. I could feel doomsday closing in.
I've never found Betsy Brandt, as Marie, to be as "funny" as she's meant to be (I think that's the point of Marie), so it was nice to have her making an appearance with no comic undertones at all. She looked drawn and grim and betrayed. For maybe the first time I really believed that she and Skyler are sisters, because she could read Skyler so well in that bedroom interrogation scene. And Skyler deserved to be hit just as much as Marie deserved last season's epic "Shut up shut up shut up!" The struggle over the baby didn't work for me, though, because I was so distracted by how bad it looked. In some shots the kid was obviously a doll; even when it was a real baby, the screaming was clearly overdubbed. And that ridiculous parka and hat -- no one else was even wearing a coat! I get why Holly always has a hat on. I know they're probably using like five different kids on that set. But it makes me think about how this is a television show, and nothing else ever does that. One thing I did like about Holly's appearance was the way her playyard gate looked so out-of-place cheery against the rest of the scene (and the episode, for that matter). The lighting in some scenes was so dark it looked like late-season Law & Order: SVU. And Skyler is still wearing very muted colors. Then there's the baby, "safe" in her bright primary-color plastic gate, looking completely "wrong" -- as well it ought to. Marie is right. Holly shouldn't be in that house. (Note too that we didn't even see Walt Jr. in this episode.)
As for Hank, Grant said that he "knows better" than to follow Marie's counsel and take his suspicions to the DEA. But I think Marie is right about that too. It's pride that makes Hank want to be the one to bring down Heisenberg single-handed. He knows his career is over regardless -- he said so to Marie. Once Heisenberg's identity is known, Hank's getting demoted to crossing guard no matter what. And Marie is right that it will be much worse for Hank if the DEA catches on to Walt before Hank tells them what he knows. Then he'd be obstructing justice. If he comes clean now, he looks like a fool, but a credible fool -- why would he lie about something that reflects so badly on him? The DEA would have to take him seriously, and he'd be better off with their help bringing Walt to justice. The only part of his excuse for keeping it to himself that makes sense is his concern about being unable to "help Skyler" -- but she has taken that out of his hands. She doesn't want help. She's going down with the ship. So Hank is holding out for his own ego, and forcing this into a showdown.
Hank's stubbornness is especially fateful because we know, as George D. pointed out below, that Walt is still not willing to consider killing Hank. (I found that suprising, honestly. Who knew there were still lines Walt wouldn't cross? But I suppose destroying his family would also destroy his plans to live out his days in peace and leave richer-but-not-wiser kids behind.)
What wonderful/horrible characters Lydia and Todd are. Both a bundle of fascinating contradictions -- he with his humility and his good manners (he called Lydia "ma'am"), and his contract-killer connections; and she with her power heels and her delicate sensibilities, and her cold-blooded willingness to resort to murder as a business strategy. She's like Walt -- she thinks she can keep her hands clean, just be the brains and let someone else take care of the dirty work. And like Walt, she's recklessly concerned about money and image -- so much so she wears her Louboutins (with their iconic blood-red soles) to a meth lab/bloody crime scene.
I loved the lottery-ticket detail. And I am full-on dreading next week's episode. Keep the comments coming in the meantime.

Sky, Marie, and Lydia were in charge of this episode, and all to the better. So much to love about last night's show. (Spoilers follow.) Hank getting hold of Skylar on the phone before Walt thinks to call her (Walt really is slipping). Hank's transparently desperate attempt to get Sky to spill everything into a digital recorder at a diner, and her immediate realization that such a move is a huge tell--Hank doesn't have enough to arrest, let alone convict Walt. Anna Gunn has always been superb as Skylar, but her performance is so strong that the audience is, for a time, just as confused about her intentions as Hank is. We don't know whom Sky has sided with until she lovingly tends to Walt after he collapses in the bathroom. And what a scene. When was the last time they shared a tender moment? Even Walt seems confused: When Skylar reveals that she knows his cancer is back, he asks her a heartbreaking question, "Are you glad?" And she's not. She's gone from loving the man she married to fearing, possibly hating the man he'd become, back to loving him again, or at least refusing to give him up. He tells her he'll turn himself in if she promises to keep the cash and care for herself and the kids, so that all his work "won't have been for nothing." But she knows there's no way Walt can confess without giving up the money (which he's buried in the desert where he and Jesse used to cook--and in the same barrells he's used to dissolve his victims). And she tells him she doesn't think confessing will be necessary, because it sounds like Hank has little to go on.
And Marie: Skylar doesn't even answer any of her questions--when did Sky know Walt was a meth cook? But she doesn't have to. Marie keeps pressing her to disclose the timing of her realization. Sky's tears are her answer. Marie is so distraught that she tries to leave the White house with the baby, which she discovers is slightly more difficult to steal than a diamond-encrusted infant-sized tiara. Skylar blocks the door, and Hank has to intervene--a hollow look of resignation as he tries to comprehend who his sister-in-law has become. Marie pushes Hank to march into his office and share what he knows about Walt, but Hank knows better: he shares his suspicion now, without solid evidence, without already being the one who got Heisenberg, and his career is over. The DEA agent who coudln't even smell the stink of meth on his own brother-in-law.
And Lydia: Last episode she was begging Walt to come back for one more cook--the chef who took over couldn't come close to the purity of Heisenberg's glass. But he refused. So she orchestrates a bloody coup, bringing in Todd (of bicycle-riding kid-killing fame) and his uncle's team of thugs to mow down the cook and his managers. Todd will take over the cook, having worked with Walt after Jesse quit. Lydia is a reluctant drug lord. She doesn't want to hear the gunfire, so she covers her ears as it pops outside the lab. She doesn't want to see her murder victims, so she covers her eyes as she leaves. But she is a killer. The creators make sure we see the soles of her shoes as she descends into the lab: red. She stands on blood.
Breaking Bad episodes usually end with a gut punch--a dramatic event leaving you needing to know right now what comes next. This one offered a modified punch. More of a slow press, as Hank convinces the cops who picked up Jesse after his Robin Hood stunt to give him a few minutes with the artist formerly known as Cap'n Cook. Jesse was a zombie in the last episode. A walking, barely talking shell of his former self, carved out by Walter White. But last night he neither walked nor talked--he had no lines at all. We just saw his hundred-yard stare. I suspect Hank will find a way to interrupt that dead gaze. Jesse has nothing left to lose. And there are only six more episodes to ricin, giant machine gun, and Walt with a full head of hair.
Missed what sounds like a six-hour extravaganza. Watching "Stepbrothers"! quite a cliff hanger.
While I've never tuned in "Breaking Bad", I agree about Broadchurch. David Tennant deserves a wider audience in the US than BBC America and PBS.
Another fine episode. Sorry guys but I just can't get on the hate Walt wagon. He was prepared to turn himself in but Skylar came through. One thing about Walt, he knows how to pick his circle of intimates. Skylar and Jesse might be wounded but at the end of the day they are loyal...to a fault maybe but loyal.
And Walt shows his character, let's not forget that he did not even consider sending Hank to "Belize" pace Saul's reccommendation. Loved how he recorded the coordinates for the money using a lotto ticket to disguise the numbers.
But even though I can't see Jesse flipping, he has got to pull it together. He has always had a self destructive side....Interesting, how both he and Skylar share similar kinds of flaws and weakness and express them similarly - harming themselves but not others. And, as I mentioned above, they do love Walt irrespective of his demons.
Lydia, I cannot stomach. As I said last week, Mike called it on her last season.
Talk about people's "demons" is often a euphemism for "criminal habits and choices".
I just updated this post, but I forgot to mention, re: Hank, that it seemed like he was about to do what I would say is the smart thing - bring his discovery to the DEA - when Gomez told him about Jesse Pinkman's Johnny Appleseed act with the drug money. He requested a conference call with the higher-ups, which I presume was his chance to come clean. But hearing that Jesse was in custody convinced him to take another run at bringing Heisenberg down by himself. (Is there another way to read it?) In the end, the point remains: Hank is more interested in being the one who brings Walt to justice than he is in seeing Walt brought to justice for its own sake.
I caught a replay of the episode last night--I was falling asleep on Sunday when it first aired--and think you make a good point, Mollie, about Hank's motive. Some critics have speculated that Hank is the hero of the series, but I don't think Breaking Bad gets to have any heroes. Or rather, I don't think the show wants its audience to perceive unalloyed heroism in its main characters. That said, I do think Hank is in a tough spot. He really doesn't have much to go on. His superiors have been after him to close the case ever since he became ASAC. And he is in shock. Remember, in the show's timeframe, Hank is--what?--twenty-four hours out from the big realization? Forty-eight? (They've been playing with time this season--writers keep trying to bring the audience along by having characters mention its passage, but I'm getting a bit lost.) My hunch is that Jesse will flip, Hank will bring him in, and that will be the catalyst for Walt's demise. But maybe that's too easy, and the show never likes to do things the easy way (except for poisoning Brock).
Edit: We still haven't found out whether the DEA has a leaker, and I still wouldn't be surprised to learn it was Gomez.
Thank you to my brother for pointing out that I have been calling Lydia's late drug-running partner Duncan, when in fact his name is Declan. (I should have stuck with my at-home usage of "The Guy Walt Said 'Say My Name' To.")
I am still holding out hope for a Gomez-is-a-rat revelation. It's not too late, right? Although at this point, who is he leaking to?
My dear husband noted that if Hank were really hoping to save his career, he would be considering sweeping his discovery under the rug. His superiors have been pressuring him to drop it, after all. They don't want to hear more about Heisenberg. So his intentions are pure enough that he hasn't thought to go that route.
At least a couple days passed between the birthday dinner at the Whites' and Walt's noticing that the book was missing. I remember Marie commenting that Hank had been out of work (claiming to be sick) "all week," or words to that effect. But that's not a lot of time to figure out a game plan.
Thinking more about Skyler, it struck me when she was first contacted by Hank that she really doesn't know the extent of Walt's misdeeds. And he said something like that to her -- Maybe you don't know about everything he did, all the lives he destroyed? I thought she was about to find out and that would turn her against Walt. But instead she made a decision to stand by Walt AND a decision NOT to know the extent of what she's defending. She's finally embracing his decision to keep her in the dark all this time.
I guess it all hinges on Jesse, now: will his loyalty to Walt (and his hatred of Hank) keep him quiet?
That scene on the couch from last week's episode strongly suggests that Jesse is done with Walt. He knows Walt killed Mike's guys in prison. He even said that it wouldn't be very Walt to allow Mike to ride off into the sunset. Walt doesn't like loose ends. But then Walt told Jesse that he really needed him to believe that he didn't kill Mike. Jesse heard the threat, and told Walt what he wanted to hear--right before he went lobbing millions into the front yards of the poor, screaming all the way. In Sunday's episode, an early riser follows the bundles of cash to find Jesse's car crashed, with him flat on his back riding a merry-go-round. He's spinning. Where he'll stop nobody knows. Including himself. Or whatever's left.
My money is on Jesse not breaking, not harming Walt. It is just incongruent with his character. He just wants out but Walt predicted, rightly, what would happen to him. Walt told him that he would bet bored and back on drugs again - and he was. Not only completely spaced out but listening to his friends ramble on about Star Trek - my how far he has fallen since his days with Gus and cooking at the lab.
Walt gave him purpose and direction.
When I reflect on the writing and character development, I am reminded of something Tolstoy once said. His characters, as he was writing, literally took on a life of their own and had to follow their own internal logic. In fact, he was asked why he threw Anna into the train in Anna Karenina. Tolstoy replied that he did not throw her into the train, she threw herself there.
A good writer cannot make contrived endings to satisfy some kind of moralistic or thematic plot line. The characters need to follow and stay true to who they are.
So it is or should be with Breaking Bad. Walt should not be "punished" just because he has done bad things. Plenty of people in life do bad things and they are never "punished". Justice is a bit illusory. We like to see it portrayed but life is not neat as neat and tidy as that.
George, are you forgetting that Jesse almost put a bullet in Walt's brain because he thought he'd poisoned Brock? Jesse never could stand the killing, even as he killed Gale. He knows Walt is a monster, and wants nothing more to do with him.
How do define Walt and Jesse's relatiponship? Well, as the social media nomenclature goes "it's complicated".
How have Jesse's choices, when he does make them, been working out for him? Is he that unself aware? Is he going to blame it all on Walt?
He was used by Gus and Walt was astute enough to see that. Walt eventually gave him his money. Remember what happened? Jesse came back and Walt replied, "You are out - remember?"
Ditto for Skylar.
And yet, they make choices to remain loyal to Walt, connected. Are they victims? Walt has this magical power to bend people's will?
I am not saying that Walt is a good person or blameless. He certainly has his accountability. But unlike with Mike, Walt does care for Jesse.
As an aside, did you all know that the original plan was to kill Jesse off in the first season. They didn't as his character just evolved.
Omg..no idea how that happenedhappened
OK, OK, I'll answer!
I don't have a ready definition for their relationship, other than hugely dysfunctional. Jesse needed a father figure. For a time, Walt provided that. But then Gus moved in. And, if you recall, he had begun to turn Jesse against Walt--right up until Walt managed to persuade Jesse that Gus was responsible for poisoning Brock. Then Mike sort of took over. But now Jesse knows that Walt killed Mike. And Gus. And Mike's guys. And he's probably wondering whether Walt poisoned Brock too. Why else would Walt try to convince him to drop Andrea. Jesse is not the same man he was in Season One. He realizes that he never should have gotten involved with Walter White, because he's destroyed everything Jesse loved. He isn't Sky. She has a family to worry about. What does Jesse have? And how do people behave when they have nothing to lose?
I deleted those duplicate posts. It's happening a lot; I don't know why! But thanks for commenting, once or six times, George. :-)
Walt has made sure Jesse has nothing in his life besides cooking meth worth caring about. He did it -- letting Jane die, driving away Andrea, and otherwise manipulating Jesse at every turn -- to save his own skin. It would be ironic if Walt's success at leaving Jesse with nothing ended up leading directly to Walt's downfall. Walt, and Skyler, are managing to lie to themselves about their guilt, or at least about what they deserve. Jesse doesn't have any motivation to do that; all he has is a tortured conscience, and nothing to distract him from it.

I have a geoserver that displays some basic country data for Brazil at a course spatial scale (1:1 milion). Now the geography institute (IBGE) is making available the topo sheets at 1:250,000 scale, one shape file for each of the 548 tiles. My question is: In order to store those data in PostGIS and serve via Geoserver, would I be better of merging all topo sheets into one? Or is it better to have each sheet as a separate table in PostGIS? This, of course, considering that there will be no topology issues with the sheets.
Thanks Daniel

Surgical Technology
Surgical technologists (STs) are integral members of the surgical team who work closely with surgeons, anesthesiologists, registered nurses and other surgical personnel. Before, during and after surgery, they deliver patient care and perform tasks that help ensure a safe surgical environment, contributing to and supporting the operating team's efficiency.
The role of a surgical technologist includes setting up the operating room, preparing surgical instruments and assisting in their use, and preparing patients for surgery. The technologist has primary responsibility for maintaining the sterile field, ensuring that all members of the operating team adhere to aseptic technique, and preparing and applying sterile dressings following procedures.
STs are employed in hospital operating rooms, delivery rooms, cast rooms, emergency departments and clinics. The employment outlook for this occupational area is very good.
Coursework includes both classroom and clinical instruction. Multiple clinical sites are used to expose students to a variety of surgical settings. Successful completion of the program results in the award of a certificate and, with additional general education coursework, an Associate in Applied Science (A.A.S.) degree. Successful completion of the program also permits the graduate to sit for the national certifying examination.
The Surgical Technology certificate program is an intensive one-year, three semester curriculum with classroom and clinical experiences. Students are required to have their own transportation to clinical sites. Clinical sites are assigned to meet the needs of both the students and the program. The assignments are the decision of the program coordinator. The number of applicants admitted to the CST program is limited by the availability of clinical sites. To be considered for admission, applicants must complete the minimum prerequisites listed in the packet. Selection for admission is competitive and is determined by a point system based on categories such as GPS on prerequisites, reading and writing placement scores, quality of written goal letters, previous college degree, date $50.00 non-refundable application fee is received (the earlier the application, the more points that will be awarded), and successful completion of the Central Processing Distribution Technician course (SURGT 1111) with a B or higher.
Accreditation Status
The Surgical Technology program is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs.

As part of the Robert Lehman Lectures on Contemporary Art
Robert Farris Thompson will lecture on the work of Frédéric
Bruly Bouabré at Dia Center for the Arts, 548 West 22nd
Street, New York City, on Thursday, June 22, 1995. The lecture, entitled
"Scripts of the Spirit: African Ideograms in World Art History,"
will begin at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $5.00.
This lecture is organized in conjunction with the exhibition "Worlds Envisioned: Alighiero e Boetti and Frédéric Bruly Bouabré," at Dia's main exhibition facility, 548 West 22nd Street, on view through June 25, 1995. Selected in consultation with the artists, the show highlights the two artists' affinities: both may be described as cosmographers, individuals with an encyclopedic curiosity about the world, and a fascination with the systems, codes and schemata by which such knowledge is recorded, archived, coded, and classified. Professor Thompson will focus on the work of the Ivorian artist Frédéric Bruly Bouabré.
Professor Thompson is Master of Timothy Dwight College at Yale University and Professor of African and Afro-American art history at the same institution. His most recent book, Face of the Gods: Art and Altars of Africa and the African Americas, (1993), is a comparative study of Afro-Atlantic altars. Tracing icons and philosophies in altar making from major African civilizations to the Americas, the book restores many works of art, long considered in isolation from each other, to their original constellating power. Other publications include Black Gods and Kings (1971), African Art and Motion (1974), The Four Moments of the Sun: Kongo Art in Two Worlds (1981), Flash of the Spirit: African and Afro-American Art and Philosophy (1983). His articles have been anthologized in more than fourteen books and he has designed and organized five major exhibitions of African and Afro-American art.
Funding for the lecture series has been provided by a generous grant from the Robert Lehman Foundation, Inc. Funding for "Worlds Envisioned: Alighiero e Boetti and Frédéric Bruly Bouabré" was received from the Lannan Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, a federal agency, Washington, D.C. Additional funding was provided by the members of the Dia Art Council, the major annual support group of Dia Center for the Arts, and the Dia Art Circle.

An attorney representing the Detroit Institute of Arts has told a judge that the forced sale of city-owned art "would chill philanthropic giving for generations to come."
The DIA Corp.'s Arthur O'Reilly said Wednesday during opening statements in Detroit's bankruptcy trial that works in the art museum can't be used to satisfy creditor debt because most of the 60,000 total pieces were donated or bought through donations.
O'Reilly spoke out in favor of the city's debt restructuring plan that has to be approved by federal Judge Steven Rhodes.
The plan includes more than $800 million in commitments from the state, major corporations, foundations and others to soften cuts to city pensions while placing the art into a trust.
Some creditors have said city assets should be considered to satisfy debt.

When will Sencha SDK Tools be released?
Sencha has already released Ext JS 4. It's very much advertized to support IE 6 and theming.
However, to be able to theme IE 6 it's required to use the Sencha SDK, which is not itself yet released.
Could we get a date when Sencha SDK is expected to be released?
Today, the latest version is beta and I cannot find any previously not beta version.
I'm working for a big corporation and so we do care about the distinction between beta or officially working library.

MURRAY, Ky. (AP) -- A barn that had served as a landmark in Murray for a century before being destroyed by fire in September has been rebuilt.
Jackie and Clarkie Butterworth told the Murray Ledger & Times they weren't aware of how popular their tobacco barn on Kentucky 94 west of Murray had become until the fire.
The barn was used as a landmark by locals so they could tell they were about 3 miles from Murray. It also was the first entry to the Calloway County Quilt Trail.
Jackie Butterworth said he debated at first about whether to rebuild the structure. However, after hearing about how much the structure meant to the community, he says the decision was easy to make.

Nike Roshe One
Inspired by Zen simplicity, the original Nike Roshe Run was aptly named after the title of a Zen master, or Roshi. Introduced in 2011 by rookie Nike designer, Dylan Raasch, and Nike Sportswear, the Roshe sneaker bridged the gap between running and casual wear. Rooted in a essential minimalism, this casual shoe sports quarter support, heel support, and some cushioning. Raasch made the outsole resemble garden stepping stones, the insole look like a freshly raked Zen rock garden, and topped with enough versatility to rock with or without socks. As of 2015, the newly named Nike Roshe One is a simple shoe that is not simplistic by any means.

Often, when people have wanted to reduce sound from nearby conversations, people have recommended noise cancellation headphones. However, I have heard that they cannot block this kind of noise. They are only effective for steady, monotonous sounds like what comes from a machine or perhaps the chatter of a crowded school playground (the closest they come to knocking out talk).
Do noise cancelling headphones actually block human speech and public announcements (in trains and trams)?

I would like to know how to log into windows vista without knowing th eusers password. I woild also like to know if it is possible to use command prompt without being logged in.
Log into windows vista without password
both are difficult. I know to crack into XP without password. But i'm not sure whether it works in vista
How do the IT repair men do it. i have had my computer mended before and they didnt need to know the password, they just somehow got in.
If it is the case, i think u forgot to set an admin password for the system.
The user account named "Administrator" doesn't have a password by default. I think they got thro that way
The user account named "Administrator" doesn't have a password by default. I think they got thro that way
But how did he access that account without me telling him the administrator password
I mean without my account password
but how do you get to the administrator account
It works in XP. but i don't know in vista. when the logon screen is shown press ctrl+alt+del+del. U'll see a dialog box showing the username and password. U can edit both the fields. In the username field type administrator and just press enter. U'll be taken into ur system using the administrator account.
You can log into windows vista without password. For this you need a live cd called OPHCRACK for Vista. Search google and you can find it. After u get the cd simply boot from cd and it will tell u all the passwords of all the accounts of windows vista on that machine

February 5, 2013
Bruce Kleiner, a professor of mathematics at NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, was named the recipient of the National Academy of Sciences Award for Scientific Reviewing.
He shares the prize with John Lott, a professor of mathematics at the University of California, Berkeley.
Kleiner and Lott were recognized for their explication of Grigori Perelman's solution of the Poincaré Conjecture, which is a century-old theorem explaining three-dimensional spheres. In 2002 and 2003, Perelman, a Russian mathematician, presented a proof that claimed to solve the Poincaré Conjecture. But many mathematicians had difficulty deciphering his work, presented over three papers, thereby raising questions about the proof's viability.
Kleiner and Lott set out to make Perelman's work transparent by first understanding, then explaining, the proof in greater detail.
"The Kleiner/Lott presentation was instrumental in making the solution accessible to the mathematical community, and, as the first detailed scientific presentation, played a crucial role in the verification of the solution," the Academy said in announcing its selection.
The award, which includes a cash prize of $10,000, honors authors whose reviews have synthesized extensive and difficult material, providing a significant service to science and
influencing the course of scientific thought. The prize annually rotates the discipline it recognizes; work in the field of mathematics is spotlighted once every 17 years.

The Calico Tanks Trail is a moderately strenuous two and a half mile (round trip) out and back hike through the valley and up the Calico Ridge. It took us about two and a half hours to complete the hike, including photo and rest stops. Your mileage may vary. I would recommend wearing hiking boots, though it is possible to traverse in sneakers. At minimum, you should bring plenty of water, a snack, a flashlight, a camera, and a hiking buddy. This time of year, early morning is probably the safest and most comfortable time to go – it can get very hot during the day and there is limited shade along this trail. You may just want to save this hike for when things cool off a bit.
We did the hike one afternoon in early February. Weather-wise, Spring or Fall would be the best time for this hike. That gives you plenty of time to plan. Refer to the Red Rock Canyon Interpretive Association website for park hours and admission rates.
Upon arrival, it's worth stopping at the visitor center before you start so you can use the facilities and get up to date information and advice from one of the friendly and informative guides. That's how we found out about this fantastic hike in the first place. We asked for an easy to moderate hike that could be accomplished in 2-3 hours in sneakers. After getting an idea of our fitness and experience levels the guide told us about the Calico Tanks Trail. She said that visitors from outside of Las Vegas tend to enjoy the view at the end of this out and back hike. I think she may have downplayed it a bit.
You can access the Calico Tanks Trail from the Sandstone Quarry Trailhead. This is the third parking area past the visitor center, off of the scenic loop road. Like most hikes in Red Rock Canyon, Calico Tanks Trail provides interesting biology and geology with beautiful panoramic views along the way. The hike follows a sandstone path, then climbs towards the Calico Ridge over slick stone and boulders. There are a few mild ridges, and the trail requires some scrambling. There are stairs cut into the steeper sections.
The reason I recommend this particular hike is the payoff at the end. The Calico Tank is kind of neat. It's large pool of collected water in the middle of the desert. Maybe you could get a cool photo with the mountains reflecting off the surface or something. You might see some small fish in the tank, or a larger desert animal stopping for a drink. But, this isn't the real reason for hiking all the way out here. When you reach the tank, don't turn back yet – the best is yet to come. Hike up around the saddle to the right and just beyond the tank…For the most amazing panoramic view of Las Vegas! You can see the valley below, you can see the downtown Fremont Street casinos. You can see the strip from end to end. It's breathtaking! There are a couple of well placed flat rocks that are perfect for a little picnic (don't forget, leave no trace). It's not the easiest or the shortest hike in Red Rock, nor is it the highest or most challenging. But as far as effort / reward ratio, this hike is a jackpot win! Plan some time to soak it all in, get some photos and relax a bit. Just remember to turn back before it gets too hot (especially in summer), or too near to closing time. I hope they will offer a guided night hike out here so I can take in the view at night!
- Really, if you haven't already done so, click the panoramic image above. If that doesn't convince you to go on this hike, nothing will!
- The Bird and Hike website offers a great detailed trail guide for this and many other Las Vegas area hikes. Print it out before you go.

Rich Media: Offers Wide Range Of Opportunities
By Peter J. Brown
There is much work to be done in the multimedia world, as the owners of new fixed, portable and mobile devices that dot the landscape in rapidly increasing numbers express their desire for more new content. This is no longer a matter of tracking trends in North America and Europe. That era ended long ago. Instead, much of Asia, the Middle East and other regions make up this emerging global rich media-driven market.
For rich media creators and distributors, catching up with this demand is taking on a sense of urgency. The tools are there and so is the creative energy that can address the needs of consumer and enterprise markets alike.
So what exactly is rich media? Kristin Zurovitch, Mediasite product manager, at Madison, Wis.-based Sonic Foundry, defines rich media as the integration of online audio and/or video with one or more personal computer-based applications, such as Powerpoint slides, opinion polls or text downloads. Sometimes referred to as webcasts, these integrated presentations are distributed via Internet-style networks and can be accessed by users on a live or on-demand basis, according to Zurovitch. Sonic Foundry's Mediasite rich media systems allow customers to create and deliver rich media by capturing, synchronizing and publishing audio, video and graphics from Powerpoint, electronic white boards, document cameras and other presentation devices.
"Rich media gives satellite viewers some of the most compelling entertainment experiences available today. These rich entertainment options are delivered through a combination of audio, video and graphics that enhance television shows and commercials," says Dalen Harrison, president and CEO of Portland, Ore.-based Ensequence, which works with satellite operators like Dish Network and BSkyB to broadcast interactive television shows and commercials for various networks, channels and advertisers. "Rich media enables interactivity and personalization, giving viewers content that is relevant to the programs that they are watching."
Brian Skimmons, Loral Skynet's vice president of global Internet protocol (IP) services, adds yet another dimension. "The definition of rich media continues to evolve and varies based on a given set of end-user requirements and expectations," he says. "For enterprise and government customers, rich media typically includes corporate communications (one or two-way), business TV, private networks, interactive webcasts and on-demand IP streaming (integrated audio/video/graphics to PCs across a LAN/WAN)," says Skimmons. "For consumers, rich media could be IPTV, multimedia content exchanges on gaming consoles, PCs and mobile phones."
The versatility of rich media enables a variety of organization to take advantage of the medium, Skimmons says. "Distance learning companies such as Unopar (University of North Parana) in Brazil are using the power of broadband satellite to reach smaller communities with a variety of self-paced training courses from accounting to auto repair, across the country," he says.
Digital signage and distance learning are the main applications driving rich media distribution in the enterprise market, according to Sampath Ramaswami, senior director, strategic development, North American division at Hughes Network Systems LLC (HNS). Ramaswami emphasizes that while consumers in North America and elsewhere are utilizing broadband satellite to download music, courseware and software, there has been an enormous uptick in the launch of global enterprise solutions using rich media. Broadband service overall now represents approximately half of HNS' business. "In the retail sector, companies such as Tesco in the United Kingdom are increasing sales and customer loyalty with targeted ads in their stores; while ASDA (the U.K. subsidiary of Wal-Mart) has rolled out a training and business TV network," says Ramaswami.
As enterprise customers seek to identify appropriate rich media and content management technologies, the budget to pay for it looms as a contentious issue, according to Skimmons. "There could be turf wars between, for example, [human resources], which wants such a capability, and the IT group that is concerned about performance and ongoing management," Skimmons says. "With the government sector, customers like the greater flexibility given their goals of national security, promoting cultural awareness and goodwill."
Budgets are also a factor in the consumer markets, as consumers who are starting to combine their TV watching with IP access and IP networking are, in turn, generating greater demand for rich media content availability and distribution on a two-way basis. "Consumer implementations are driven by a combination of content and cost. Success has varied by market," says Skimmons. "Another key factor in demand is that traditional asymmetrical traffic flows are becoming more symmetrical as consumer and enterprise customers upload from their homes and desktops pictures, videos and other rich content files. The improved cost and broadband functionality of network usage are making this possible and driving greater demand."
At Gilat Satellite Networks Inc., the primary application driving the demand for rich media distribution is business TV, which is used widely for corporate communications and marketing purposes and constitutes a significant part of Gilat's business. "Rich media on a Gilat VSAT network enables two-way connectivity, either through video, voice or electronic communication," says Raz Korn, Gilat's director, product line management. "Because Gilat's technology is based on an open IP platform, any media content that needs to be transmitted can be delivered over our Skyedge VSAT system. By using a standards-based outbound channel, DVB-S, we can integrate native DVB-S video and data streams into our system and we can deliver media rich content over IP to low cost DVB-S receivers."
Korn emphasizes that not only is content awareness important within this environment – Gilat provides a platform that allows for this service – but that having the ability to support both broadcast and multicast is important, too, because multicasting enables the delivery of rich media content to customers in a segmented manner. "Specific examples of IP multicast are distance learning, music distribution, management presentations to employees, product launch initiatives and advertisements," says Korn. "However, depending upon the type of rich media, there may be a need to integrate equipment and software at the hub as well as perform modifications at the remote sites. For example, if native DVB-S video streams are required, then there is a need for modifications at the sites. But, if we are dealing with MPEG-4 video or content delivery over IP, then remote-site modifications may be limited to a software installation."
Distributing Rich Media Is Not Like HDTV Broadcasting
Delivering or distributing rich media is far different from broadcasting DTV and HDTV, because TV is typically one-way, while rich media is often two-way and interactive. "TV distribution is full-time," says Skimmons. "Rich media can have heavy requirements during the workday that fall off at night. TV distribution has channels dedicated to a transponder that may not involve active management. Rich media, on the other hand, can involve platforms and bandwidth with a number of customers whose time and use have to be coordinated and supported," says Skimmons.
In addition, quality assurance in TV distribution focuses primarily on satellite availability in terms of transponder power and bandwidth, whereas distribution of rich media content typically involves an end-to-end service level agreements that specify quality and performance across the network, according to Skimmons. Satellite resources will vary depending on the number of sites and quality of service requirements. "Satellite network operators need to proactively monitor traffic and adjust the requested bandwidth of their customers to efficiently meet the increased needs of rich media," he says. "Committed information rates need to be developed and understood at the start of network implementation and adjusted based on traffic flows. Also, there is a greater need to apply [quality of service], or application prioritization capabilities, to customer traffic."
Global satellite coverage and advanced IP hubs are essential for delivering rich media, says Skimmons. Skynet offers both. "Rich media requires highly robust and secure networks. Skynet has the customer support capabilities and encryption methods to meet the security and support needs of our customers around the world," he says. "Skynet provides [service level agreements] and [quality of service] metrics based on customer requirements that cost-effectively support and optimize the delivery of rich media content."
Satellite IP-based networks offer powerful advantages in providing a flexible, robust and interactive platform; consumer-oriented broadcast networks such as DTV or HDTV have completely different requirements, according to Ramaswami. Among other things, enterprises demand a high degree of control over all facets of their media distribution networks. "Because of the influence on shoppers, for example, a wrong or improperly timed message or poor image quality can result in an unintended negative experience. In addition, the enterprise may use the same private media network for internal applications, such as staff training and business TV," he says. "There are advantages to satellite delivery of media rich content: ubiquity and the multicast/broadcast nature of the technology. These attributes enable satellite to uniformly deliver high-quality content cost-effectively, continent-wide, independent of distance."
If anything, rich media is going to become even richer with time – higher resolution, more colorful and increasingly multidimensional – resulting in ever larger files and a greater dependency on compression, which is absolutely necessary to make the economics of rich media work, according to Scott Calder, president and CEO of Utah-based Mainstream Data Inc. "The other edge of the compression sword is that losses of relatively small amounts of data result in useless files. This has necessitated some of the more robust error correction coding that Mainstream employs, as well as hybrid distribution architectures whereby damaged or missing data blocks can be recovered using the terrestrial IP infrastructure," he says.
One of Mainstream's clients is Technicolor Digital Cinema, which uses Mainstream's technology for delivery of digital cinema products to movie theaters across North America. "We are currently distributing very large (multi-gigabyte) high-quality video files as an essential part of Technicolor's Skyarc digital satellite network to theaters. The files we send today include movie trailers and pre-show advertising, and we expect to begin transmitting feature films shortly," says Calder.
For NTN Buzztime Inc.'s 4000-site network of restaurants and bars, Mainstream delivers a combination of feature video and advertising as well as system metadata to control and schedule local playback of that content. In addition, approximately 2,000 of the NTN sites use two-way VSATs to facilitate IP connectivity for credit card verification, communication of point-of-service information, interactive distance learning and Internet connectivity.
Mainstream Data has been distribution technology agnostic since its founding and currently builds at least as many terrestrial and hybrid systems as satellite-only networks. Mainstream has also seen the demand for bandwidth – a proxy for increasingly rich media content – growing at a rate of at least 50 percent per year, for the last 20 years, according to Calder. "And we are smart enough not to bet against history; the growth will absolutely continue," he says. "We see the hybrid satellite-Internetwork as the optimal distribution modality of the future."
Rich Media Gains Momentum
Because satellite service providers can now offer one-stop, turnkey managed services, including the total network infrastructure plus in-store equipment such as plasma screens, applications software, installation and maintenance, Ramaswami sees plenty of opportunities ahead. HNS network operations centers can host customer ads or business-related content on high-performance, redundant servers, operating with sophisticated software that allows for directing selected files to selected sites on a pre-programmed basis. "Of course, there is a high degree of network security, including multiple levels of encryption and other safeguards. The overall architecture of satellite delivery is highly robust, secure and lends itself to a single, managed [service level agreements]. HNS, for example offers a comprehensive, fully managed private media network service that assumes responsibility for end-to-end operation, ranging from content ingest/formatting to control of the remote displays, all centrally controlled," says Ramaswami. "The enterprise can then focus on the messaging and application aspects of rich media, rather than the operational aspects."
Among the areas of improvement that Ramaswami and others point to, the need for improved algorithms that can more efficiently integrate rich media with lower rate data and IP traffic. Making rich media and interactive services more responsive through further refinements in the use of IP spoofing over satellite and the local caching of content, while at the same time, ensuring that evolving video technology, such as high-quality encoding and compression, is quickly integrated into network operations, are also key areas of concern.
The process is by no means complete, while the enthusiasm for rich media keeps building.Peter Brown is Via Satellite's senior Multimedia and Homeland Security editor.

I've deployed Openstack using juju, and everything looks normal except that I cannot browse to openstack-dashboard. I get error 500 Internal Server Error.
I looked through apache2 logs at that node and found these errors repeated every couple of minutes.
I tried to destroy the service and deploy it on other nodes; co-located with keystone node, then glance node, then by it self. Yet I get the same errors.
It looks like it needs deep python debugging which is weird since this is the typical charm deployment on a normal server. And someone must had tried to deploy this and succeeded!
I'm deploying openstack Essex version 2012.1.4-dev , Ubuntu server version 13.10 , django version is: (1, 5, 4, 'final', 0) And this is my juju status output
Please help me :)

Ample reasons to count our blessings
It's the Christmas season now. It started on Black Friday, that day after Thanksgiving when stores opened their doors early to accommodate shoppers in search of marked down prices on this year's most popular gifts. Next came Small Business Saturday, a movement that encouraged holiday shoppers to patronize businesses that are small and local. Then there was Cyber Monday, a marketing term for the Monday after Black Friday created by companies to persuade people to shop online. And now charities are starting what they hope will become a national day for giving that will join the holiday lexicon: Giving Tuesday.

Warren County Firefighters were called to the scene of a fire around 8 Thursday night in Woodburn.
Woodburn Fire Chief Bob Skipper says someone called and reported flames coming out of the back of a house.
It happened at 3388 Woodburn Allen Springs Rd.
Skipper says no one was home when the fire started, and he believes the house is vacant.
"We had heavy fire coming from the back door and the back deck that extended into the kitchen area a little bit and we were able to get it knocked down pretty quickly and get inside the house to make sure no one was inside," Skipper says.
He says the blaze was out in about ten minutes.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.

To the editor:
In his hit piece in the Oct. 28 edition, the AFL-CIO's Rich Trumka attacked Romney over coal industry policy and endorsed Obama. But it's been 17 years since Trumka was an officer in the United Mine Workers of America, and it shows: what he did not admit was that the UMWA, while endorsing 30 candidates in Ohio - all Democrats - is pointedly not endorsing Obama. Repeat, the UMWA, now far closer to the coal issues than Trumka, is not endorsing Obama.
Why? From the UMWA's web site as of Oct. 29: "The UMWA National COMPAC Council has not made an endorsement in the 2012 election for president of the United States. Neither candidate has yet demonstrated that he will be on the side of UMWA members and their families as president. We will continue to examine the candidates' positions on all the issues of importance to our members and American working families as the campaign progresses."
Trumka bragged about being a third-generation coal miner, but he's behaving like a first-generation politician.

I'm currently getting familiar with bash scripting. One of my problems is trying to fix a hybrid video on laptop by switching off the powerful GPU every time Linux loads.
To do that, I currently edit rc.local by adding the following lines:

The problem is, every time the system comes out of sleep mode, the GPU turns back on again, eventually going hotter and hotter, as indicated by lm-sensors.
My question: What do I have to do to keep said GPU turned off constantly?

To avoid the worst impacts of climate change, including widespread drought, flooding and massive population displacement caused by rising sea levels, we need to keep global temperature rise below 2ºC (compared to pre-industrial levels). To do this, global greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2015 and from there go down to zero.
I can't understand why there aren't rings of young people blocking bulldozers and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants.
Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore
A third of all carbon dioxide emissions come from burning coal. It's used to produce nearly 40 percent of the world's power, and hundreds of new coal plants are planned over the next years if the industry gets its way.
Apart from climate change, coal also causes irreparable damage to the environment, people's health and communities around the world. While the coal industry itself isn't paying for the damage it causes, the world at large is.
The world has enough technically accessible renewable energy to meet current energy demands six times over. We need an energy revolution that substitutes wind, solar, energy efficiency and other modern technologies for dirty energy sources like coal.
Unfortunately, governments across the world are allowing industry to spend hundreds of billion of dollars to build hundreds of new coal-fired power stations worldwide in the coming years. If they are built, CO2 emissions from coal are expected to rise 60 percent by 2030. This will undermine any international agreements to tackle climate change.
These governments have in part been seduced by an illusion of "clean coal." The result of a major public relations offensive by the coal industry including a number of dubious "technological fixes" that they claim make burning coal safe for the climate.
Activists block the construction of a new coal fired power plant in Rotterdam.
One of these Carbon, Capture and Storage (CCS) is a plan to capture carbon emissions from power stations and bury them underground. The technology won't be ready for at least another 20 years, too late to save the climate. Yet the vague promises of CCS are being used to justify building new coal-fired plants. These plants will spew out enormous amounts of CO2 pollution for at least the next 20 years and probably during their whole 40-year lifetime. In short, any new coal fired power plant will contribute massively to the climate crisis.
The world doesn't need more coal, it needs an Energy [R]evolution.
As world leaders fail to step up and take the necessary action to stop coal, people across the world are taking on the struggles themselves. Across the world environmental activists, students, doctors, church leaders and many more are mobilising against coal.
We have been supporting local movements against coal across the globe and taking action to stop global warming.
That's the question lawyers were arguing about in Luxembourg last week. It is a case where Greenpeace is challenging the approval of up to €1.6 billion in aid to Spain's coal industry.

Before there were beakers, there were barbells.
Brennan Coffey—one of three CU-Boulder undergraduates to win a coveted Goldwater Scholarship this year for high academic merit—has logged long hours at the gym. An avid bodybuilder, Coffey's weightlifting sessions have sculpted both his body and his interest in science.
"I've been a bodybuilder for quite awhile now," Coffey said. "It really entails a lot of biochemical understanding. I spent all of high school figuring out how eating things elicits specific results; and I became really interested in how the chemistry of that works."
When Coffey first came to CU-Boulder, he thought he wanted to be an aerospace engineer. But his fascination with the way the human body works eventually led him to switch to chemical engineering.
Now Coffey, who is double majoring in applied mathematics, is working as an undergraduate researcher in engineering Professor Daniel Schwartz's lab. To a layman, his project may sound like a mouthful; he's studying the diffusion of polymers at the solid-liquid interface using fluorescence microscopy to track molecular motion.
But Coffey knows the research he's involved with could one day help expand our understanding of the way one of our most basic biological building blocks—cells—work.
At its most basic, diffusion is the study of how substances move from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration. Studying diffusion at the solid-liquid interface is the exploration of how those substances adsorb to a barrier and then move around on it.
When applied to the cell, this line of research could help us better understand how nutrients that are in relatively high concentration in the blood pass through the cell wall to the cell, where the nutrient concentration is relatively low.
Coffey, who is on track to graduate in May 2015, is planning on heading to graduate school to continue to deepen his understanding of the way the body works, perhaps by studying protein and tissue engineering.
"It's really become a symbiotic relationship: what I study in school and what I do in my daily life," he said.
Coffey was among 283 elite scholars selected from a field of 1,116 mathematics, science and engineering students nominated for a Goldwater Scholarship by faculty members from colleges and universities nationwide. Coffey attributes his success to the guidance he's received from his many mentors at CU-Boulder.
The scholarships, which are worth up to $7,500 each, are awarded annually to sophomores and juniors across the nation on the basis of high academic merit. The other two winners from CU-Boulder are Jasmine Brewer, a junior in engineering physics, and Ryan Dewey, a junior in astrophysics and physics.

As I am studying, I have encountered different renderings of the last phrase in this verse, which describes the prophesying of the seventy elders of Israel after the Spirit was placed on them. An initial search has shown me that the KJV reads "and did not cease" while the ESV, NASB and a few others read, "but they did not do it again." These phrases are apparently opposite in intent from one another. I can read both in the context of the events surrounding Moses needing help managing the people of Israel and see how either way is possible, but I'm wondering if there are reasons why the modern translators have all seemed to go with the second rendering—even the NKJV.

Part 1 – The ambiguity
ולא יספו, ve'lo yasafu
"ve'lo" means: "and didn't/weren't"
The suffix "-u" means "they"
Without knowing the meaning of the word yasaf, we have "and they didn't/weren't ... [yasaf]"
The meaning of yasaf is ambiguous and can come from one of two Hebrew roots: אספ, asaf of יספ, yasaf. [Strongs H3254 and H622]
Asaf means "to gather," yasaf means "to increase." "And they weren't gathered" means they weren't gathered in from their act of prophesying, which means they didn't cease prophesying. "And they didn't increase" would mean they didn't continue prophesying (asaf can be rendered as yasaf in a future tense conjugation).
There are two types of ambiguities that arise when translating a text from one language to another:
This yasaf/asaf ambiguity does not derive from our ignorance of the Hebrew language, or Biblical grammar or some unknowable cultural reference. In all likelihood, this is an example of a fundamental ambiguity which was also ambiguous to the original readers of the Bible.
In literature and in the Bible, ambiguity may be intentional. Intentional ambiguity is when an excess or multiplicity of meanings contribute to the literary effect and overall experience of a text.
Part 2 – What is going on in Numbers 11?
It is not easy to fully appreciate intentional ambiguity. To understand what is happening in 11:25 and why the asaf/yasaf ambiguity is probably an intentional and highly effective literary device, requires a careful reading of the wider literary context.
The Numbers narrative (the whole book minus the legal parts) can be divided into two distinct sections. Part 1 is exciting, optimistic, uplifting, promising, hopeful, etc. Part 2 is depressing, hopeless and profoundly tragic.
The book of Numbers opens after the people of Israel left Egypt, and received the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai. It's now one year since the Exodus and the people are ready to conquer the land of Israel and establish themselves as a nation. The magnitude of this moment is captured in long descriptions of the Israelite encampment and the methods by which they travel. The opening ten chapters can be outlined as follows:
The rest of the book of Numbers from chapter 11 and on, like so much of the Bible, is a story of complete and utter failure. Subsequent chapters will recount complaints, delays, death and punishments which culminates in a forty year sojourn in the desert and the death of the entire nation that originally left Egypt. Now we come to the turning point of this book (11:1-10):
The people complain to God and the people are punished. Then Moses hears the people craving meat. Following this setback, Moses, like the reader, becomes utterly depressed and despondent and loses all hope for the future as though he intuits the impending disasters (11:11-15):
Numbers part 2 is not only about the failure of the people, but also the failure of their leadership. Within the context of this sobering and tragic narrative, Moses is harshly criticized. Moses and Aron will not be permitted to lead the Israelites into the land of Israel (20:12) and the book of Numbers contains the motivation for that decree. Throughout the book Moses comes off as meek and unable to confront the people directly. When the people complain, Moses and Aron consistently respond by falling on their faces instead of standing up and addressing the wants of the people (14:5, 16:4 and 20:6). Moses' authority is consistently under question (14:40 – 45, chapter 16). In chapter 20 Moses loses his Temper at the people.
In 11:16-17, we first see the leadership begin to slip away from Moses:
Then in verse 25:
This tension and ambiguous nature of this event is captured in the message delivered by an unnamed "young man" who approaches Moses (11:26-28):
The young lad, like the rest of Israel saw this act of prophecy as a direct affront on the authority and leadership of Moses. Joshua, the successor of Moses who will lead the people into the land of Israel, is deeply troubled by this event and urges Moses to take action. Moses is unfazed and conveys his readiness to share others in his role of spiritual leader and this is communicated to Joshua (11:29)
And so...
Exactly how long the seventy elders prophesied for, either yasafu or asafu, isn't an important question and the Bible probably doesn't care to give us that detail anyway. But the intentional ambiguity in that word shares with us the uneasy, mysterious and powerful nature of what transpired. This ambiguity speaks to the tension which characterizes this story: is the religious and spiritual experience of these people authentic and justified or a mockery of Moses' leadership and authority?
Like the people living at the time, we're not quite sure what to make of this event. Like all spiritual experiences, prophesy is fundamentally impenetrable—no one really knows how much of what is on display is authentic and how much might have been feigned. To this end the Bible speaks a great deal about how distinguish false prophets from real prophets (Deuteronomy 13:2-6, 18:15-22, and elsewhere). The lo yasafu ambiguity captures this mystery and allows for more than one ways of imagining the transition away from Moses' leadership.
[All translations taken from the KJV.]
Perhaps someone has a more authoritative answer, but I'll try to explain as best I understand it: The KJV (as well as most of its predecessors, eg: Tyndale, Coverdale, Geneva Bible, etc) were based off of manuscripts that were available at the time. We hadn't found the dead sea scrolls amongst other ancient manuscripts that most modern translations also consider when selecting their translations.
To quote one website's explanation of the KJV's translation sources:
So in essence, we have older documents to consult
Another website suggests [More authoritative sources welcome here] the source of the less popular "did not cease to prophesy" translation is the Targumim ("commentaries the rabbis wrote on the Old Testament scriptures long after the time of Jesus") but that even the Greek old testament documents which would have been available at the time indicate the opposite ("did cease to prophesy").
One other potential spot for confusion here, is the phrase
It's also worth noting that with a pre-christ worldview, we would not expect the elders to continue to prophesy indefinitely, we would expect that, consistent with other texts in the old testament, the spirit came and went as he pleased, such that the elders may have continued to prophesy without ceasing for a short period of time (like perhaps until the end of the day), but it would be strange to suggest they retained the spirit permanently to prophesy on an ongoing basis, which the KJV translation might erroneously lead one to believe.
