Product Description
"The best book of its kind available." (The Christian Century)
"N. T. Wright opens for us a path beyond of the paralyzing polarization of "liberal" and "conservative." (Brian McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christian)
"In a fashion that is both old fashioned and new fangled at the same time Bishop Wright takes us through a sane and helpful study of what it means to treat the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. Highly Recommended!" (Ben Witherington, author of The Brother of Jesus)
"Written by one of the leading Christian thinkers in the world today, this book is a refreshing and accessible resource concerning the perennial question of biblical authority that moves the discussion beyond the liberal-conservative impasse of our times. Highly Recommended." (John R. Franke, Professor of Theology, Biblical Theological Seminary)
"[P]robing, provocative, insightful…This is a book of uncommon wisdom for all who read and love the Bible." (Timothy George, Dean of Beeson Divinity School of Samford University and Executive Editor of Christianity Today)
"This wide-ranging whirlwind-tour account of Scripture channeling God's authority, with its tweaking of distortions back into shape and its first-class approach to Bible study, is masterly throughout." (J. I Packer, Professor of Theology, Regent College)
"Wright offers sensible insights on the transforming power of God, very necessary in these times of skepticism and confusion." (Publishers Weekly)
"Scripture and the Authority of God is a fabulous book. With characteristic verve and occasionally pungent grace… Scripture and the Authority of God could be the beginning of a more faithful listening, as well as sustaining more fruitful conversation about the nature of biblical interpretation." (Books&Culture)
"Wright appeals to the reader to take another look at the Bible, not as an isolated phenomenona veritable rule book similarly applicable at all times and in all placesbut rather as a book better placed within both the contemporary cultural context and as part of a larger tradition of interpretation." (Explorefaith.org)
"Wright is a provocative theologian... there is so much here that you will wish that it were longer-- but its brevity makes for easy reading and it certainly deserves to be read." (Church of England Newspaper)
"The whole book gives further cause for gratitude for God's gift of Wright to his Church." (ANVIL)
From the Back Cover
"But what does scripture say?"
That question has echoed through a thousand debates in the life of the worldwide church. All churches have officially endorsed strong statements about the centrality of scripture and its authority in their mission, life, doctrine, and discipline. But there is no agreement on what this might mean or how it might work in practice. Individuals and churches struggle with how to respond to issues such as war, homosexuality, and abortion, and especially how to interpret biblical passages that discuss these topics. These disagreements often serve to undermine our confidence in the authority of the Bible.
Bishop and Bible scholar N. T. Wright delivers a new model for how to understand the place of scripture and God's authority in the midst of religious confusion. Wright gives new life to the old, tattered doctrine of the authority of scripture, delivering a fresh, helpful, and concise statement on how to read the Bible today, restoring scripture as a place to find God's voice.
In this revised and expanded edition of the previously titled book The Last Word, Wright provides two case studies that delve into what it means to keep Sabbath and how Christians can defend marital monogamy. These studies offer not only bold biblical insights but also showcase Wright's new model for how to interpret scripture and restore its role as the church's main resource for teaching and guidance. Removing the baggage that the last 100 years of controversy and confusion have placed on this doctrine, Wright renews our confidence in the Bible and shows how it can once again serve as the living Word of God for our lives.See all Product Description

Wright's thesis is stated clearly in the preface - "The phrase 'the authority of scripture' can make Christian sense only if it is a shorthand for 'the authority of the triune God, exercised somehow through scripture'." By setting the scripture in the larger context that the biblical writers themselves insist upon, we will begin to more fully appreciate the role that scripture ought to have in our lives. A role that includes, and yet transcends, the conveying of information about to one that takes an active part within the ongoing purposes of God. As Wright contends, "Scripture is there to be a means of God's action in and through us." This action enables us to see who God is and who we are in relation to the establishment of God's kingdom. Through scripture, God equips his people to serve to serve his purposes, particularly as he reveals Jesus Christ within its pages.
Wright then provides us with a better way to read scripture - what he refers to as the five-act hermeneutic. This method of reading scripture takes seriously the typical concerns related to genre, setting, literary style, etc, and the very important differences these things make in properly reading the narrative. He then takes it a step further by offering a multi-layered method; one that involves knowing where we are in the overall drama of scripture and what is appropriate within each act. The acts are: creation, fall, Israel, Jesus and the church. They constitute different stages in the divine drama which scripture itself offers.Read more ›
Telling readers to look at scripture like a five-act story raises a question, namely How can God exercise authority through story? Stories are authoritative in their ability to change how a person thinks and acts. Stories do this in a couple of ways. First, unexpected twists in stories surprise people into a better understanding of an event (as in, I expect, the story told to David about the man with the lone sheep). Second, well-told stories allow a hearer to envision her- or himself as a part of the story, including imagined reactions.
How does the story of Scripture play out? The third act, Israel, addresses events in the first two acts - namely, there is a good creation with evil in it. Israel is God's promise to respond to evil and the explanation that his plan to do so is his Kingdom. In the Old Testament, God addresses Israel directly to remind them of their role in this plan. The fourth act, Jesus, follows directly out of the third. This is the "climax" of scripture.Read more ›

Put simply, this book will revolutionize the way you read the Bible! Most of us actually misread the Bible in a number of ways, to the impoverishment of our souls and of God's Kingdom. "Scripture and Authority" is a wonderful antidote to poor readings of Scripture and moves well beyond the typical, tired debates over the authority of Scripture. Read meditatively, it will assist the Bible in changing your life and the way you see God and His divine purposes.
Wright's thesis, though hard to summarize, is best captured in this most important sentence in the entire work: "the shorthand phrase `the authority of Scripture,' when unpacked, offers a picture of God's sovereign and saving plan for the entire cosmos, dramatically inaugurated by Jesus Christ himself, and now to be implemented by the Spirit-led life of the Church precisely as the Scripture-reading community." The rest of the book may be seen as an explanation of this definition which, unfortunately, doesn't show up until Chapter 8.
If you care about reading the Bible more carefully and faithfully, then I highly encourage you to read this book and digest it!
In the Prologue, Wright situates the Bible within 5 contexts, demonstrating the difficulty of any naked appeal to the Bible without any context. While often such an approach is a disguise for denigrating the Bible as the authoritative Word of God, it's good to know that Wright is solidly orthodox and makes use of such contexts because he believes them necessary in order to read the Bible well today. These contexts are: Scripture and Culture, Scripture and Politics, Scripture and Philosophy, Scripture and Theology, and Scripture and Ethics. In the Prologue Wright also draw attention to 3 key underlying questions in discussions of Scripture today:
1. In what sense is the Bible authoritative in the first place?
2. How can the Bible be appropriately understood and interpreted?
3. How can its authority, assuming such appropriate interpretation, be brought to bear on the church itself, let alone on the world?
Throughout the book, Wright is asking us to put aside simplistic understandings of Scripture, either on the liberal or fundamentalist side of things, and to address these 3 crucial questions with faith, intelligence, and integrity.
One of the most important things that Wright says (it would be worth the price of the book if everyone reading it understood this one thing) is that "Authority of Scripture" is a shorthand for "God's Authority Exercised through Scripture." Scripture's authority is a derivative or delegated authority, for all authority truly belongs to God. This mediated authority is different than we often assume. How, for example, can "story," which comprises large parts of the Bible, be authoritative? Ultimately, Wright sees Scripture as God's unfinished story in which we are to act out the final scene, which requires an active participation and not a passive reception of the Word of God, which is all too common among Christians. Wright goes further and says that the Bible is more than just revelation or repository of truths and more than just a devotional aid.
In Chapter 2, Wright relates the Scriptures to God's Kingdom-People, the Church. This is a much needed concept since modern Christians so often read the Scriptures apart from the Church and out of the context of God's people in which the Scriptures were written, interpreted, and lived out. The Scriptures are nothing less, therefore, than the place where and the means by which the people of God discover again and again who God is and how His Kingdom-purposes are being taken forward. Israel and the Church are, therefore, fundamentally a "Scripture-hearing people."
So how does Jesus relate to Scripture? He accomplishes that to which Scripture pointed. Likewise, the Apostolic preaching of the Word in the New Testament is told as "The Jesus-Story Fulfilling the Old Testament Scripture Story." The Word of God in the New Testament becomes the vehicle by which the Holy Spirit exerts His authority over God' people.
Over the centuries, however, God's people began to believe in a distorted view of the Scriptures, which was originally to be seen as "God at work powerfully through Scripture to bring about the Kingdom, by calling and shaping a new covenant people and equipping its leaders to be teachers and preachers." This devolved into the understanding of Scripture as a divine rule book to be referred to or as a resource for private devotions, both useful but very inadequate and distorted views of Scripture.
In Chapter 6, Wright addresses a series of misreadings of the Bible, beginning with the allegorical method of Origen and the medieval Church. But even the Reformers lost sight of the grand narrative of the Scriptures at times and the revelation of God's Kingdom and purposes. He is most forceful when he deals with Enlightenment rationalistic readings of the Scripture. He's right to point out that Enlightenment thinkers had an alternative eschatology, a new view of evil, and of man - views which undermined the authority of Scripture. Wright continues by showing the impotence of the deconstructionist readings of postmodernism.
In Chapter 7, Wright spends an entire chapter continuing the theme of "misreadings" of the Scriptures. In Chapter 8, Wright offers what may be the most important sentence in the entire book: "the shorthand phrase `the authority of Scripture,' when unpacked offers a picture of God's sovereign and saving plan for the entire cosmos, dramatically inaugurated by Jesus Christ himself, and now to be implemented by the Spirit-led life of the Church precisely as the Scripture-reading community." That's a mouthful, but in this careful definition Wright preserves an equal emphasis on the Scriptures, the Holy Spirit, the Church, and the cosmos. It's a definition meditating on, which is exactly what Wright's book does. Most understandings of the Scripture do not get this balance right and have a much more impoverished view of the authority of Scripture, and for this reason alone "Scripture and Authority" is worth reading. For Wright, the Scriptures ultimately only have authority as they are lived out by God's people in God's Kingdom.
In the end, Wright calls us to a fully contextual reading of the Scripture, including the proper use of tradition and reason. He likens our reading of Scripture as the fifth and final act in a play. Act I is Genesis 1-2; Act II is Genesis 3-11; Act III is the remainder of the Old Testament; Act IV is the decisive and climactic act, which is the story of Jesus; and Act V is the Creator's redemptive drama being lived out in us through the Scriptures and the Church by the Spirit in the midst of a cosmos God is redeeming.
Wright's strategies for honoring the authority of the Scriptures are also wonderful and worth the price of the book. They are:
1. A total contextual reading of the Scripture
2. A liturgically grounded reading of Scripture
3. A privately studied reading of Scripture
5. A reading of Scripture refreshed by appropriate scholarship
6. A reading of Scripture taught by the Church's accredited leaders
If only Christians would heed all that Wright says, we would honor the authority of Scripture more and act as more faithful ministers in God's Kingdom and players in His cosmic drama!
Wright concludes by applying his understanding of the authority of Scripture to 2 test cases: the Sabbath and monogamy.
Wright tackles his material in 9 chapters and a Prologue:
1. By Whose Authority?
2. Israel and God's Kingdom-People
3. Scripture and Jesus
4. The "Word of God" in the Apostolic Church
5. The First Sixteen Centuries
6. The Challenge of The Englightenment
7. Misreadings of Scripture
8. Case Study: The Sabbath
9. Case Study: Monogamy
Wright offers fresh, and helpful statements on the "battles for the Bible" as well as how the Bible has been treated throughout history.
Inside you'll find 8 chapters and 2 new case studies:
By Whose Authority discusses what authority means and how to apply it to Scripture.
Israel and God's Kingdom-People sets the stage for how Scripture was brought about in the Old Testament.
Scripture and Jesus is about exactly what it sounds like.
Then he delves into the historical aspects:
The "Word of God" in the Apostolic Church
The First Sixteen Centuries
The Challenge of the Enlightenment
Finally Wright tackles the Misreadings of Scripture and How to Get Back on Track.
He finishes the book with 2 case studies; one on The Sabbath and what Scripture says about how/if we should keep it and one on Monogamy and if it was truly the way God intended.
As with every N.T. Wright book, you will need to give this work your undivided attention. If you have anything going on in the background, you will lose focus and miss the depth of this scholar's teachings.
Even though this is a re-release of a previous title, I enjoy reading whatever Wright authors.
This book was provided for review, at no cost, by HarperOne Publishing.
Wright's thesis is stated clearly in the preface - "The phrase 'the authority of scripture' can make Christian sense only if it is a shorthand for 'the authority of the triune God, exercised somehow through scripture'." By setting the scripture in the larger context that the biblical writers themselves insist upon, we will begin to more fully appreciate the role that scripture ought to have in our lives. A role that includes, and yet transcends, the conveying of information about to one that takes an active part within the ongoing purposes of God.

Through scripture, God equips his people to serve to serve his purposes, particularly as he reveals Jesus Christ within its pages.
Wright then provides us with a better way to read scripture - what he refers to as the five-act hermeneutic. This method of reading scripture takes seriously the typical concerns related to genre, setting, literary style, etc, and the very important differences these things make in properly reading the narrative. He then takes it a step further by offering a multi-layered method; one that involves knowing where we are in the overall drama of scripture and what is appropriate within each act. The acts are: creation, fall, Israel, Jesus and the church. They constitute different stages in the divine drama which scripture itself offers.
The primary purpose set out in reading scripture this way is to understand it better and to pay tribute to the differing stages of the overall narrative, while finding our place within it. As a result, we must act in an appropriate manner for this moment in the story, and not another. While we will be in direct continuity with former acts, we will also be living with a sense of discontinuity, in that our ultimate fidelity will belong to the stage in which we live. For example, when we read Genesis 3-11, we read it as a second act in a play in which live in the fifth., with Jesus as its climax and turning point (act four). Wright argues for a developmental approach to reading scripture that honors the Old Testament as it stands in the Christian canon, but one that at the same time moves beyond it to fully embrace our act.
Such a method helps us to better appreciate, understand and practice scripture in ways that are appropriate to where we are within the divine drama. It has the ability to move us toward a more-informed and contextual reading that will likewise enable us to live in a contextual way that is congruent with our stage in the story, rather than trying to act-out stage one or two.
Wright concludes his new edition with two case studies that show us the value of reading scripture this way: Sabbath and monogamy. These two essays are very helpful in fleshing out his proposed method, while at the same time offer us helpful insights into these two contemporary issues.
I highly recommend this book to every christian who desires to read the bible in a more informed and contextual way. I think the five-act model proposed will be immensely beneficial in helping us move through the countless debates in church and culture that often center on inaccurate readings of scripture. By paying careful attention to the whole narrative of the bible, we will place ourselves in a better position to weigh the issues in a more appropriate and biblically faithful way, while at the same time become more effective at living out our part in God's cosmic drama
I am a fan of NT Wright. Primarily because I so strongly appreciate his pastoral heart for the church and his desire to serve the church. He can be a controversial figure, in part because of that pastoral heart. He created another dust up last week because of an editorial about the US and Osama bin Laden. And I have heard more than a few people complain that Wright needs to focus on scripture, where he has few peers and leave all other areas of social involvement alone. However, the entire point of much of Wright's writing and speaking is to help people put into practice the living of their lives as Christians. You may disagree with him over politics or theology, but it is clear that his positions are based on his understanding of scripture and he thinks and acts deeply based not on political maneuvers, but on his understanding of scripture.
Scripture and The Authority of God is a reworking of a 2005 book, The Last Word and I think is the most accessible and best book of Wright's that I have read.
The basic thesis of this book is that the authority of scripture is completely dependent on the authority of God. So there is no separate authority of scripture apart from God. This seems fairly uncontroversial, but it is important. The book opens with a fairly long discussion about how we currently understand scripture. This necessarily involves a discussion of the enlightenment, modernism, post-modernism and a variety of other subjects. It is not a wasted discussion and while it may be a little repetitive for people that are fairly conversent with Wright and with his line of thinking, it really cannot be skipped.
The next section is a long discussion of what it means for scripture to have authority and then how we should and should not read scripture. This center section is really the meat of the book. This is the section where I was most impressed and most convicted that the Evangelical world in general, and I in specific, do not spend enough time or effort in scripture itself. Evangelicals like to talk about scripture and we often read it, but we do not often really study and allow scripture to change us. Wright believes that while personal reading of scripture is very important, scripture needs to be the center of our corporate worship. I know my church, and many Evangelical churches, no longer have focused scripture reading. The sermons attempt to be scripture explication, but extended readings of scripture (more than 90 seconds) are just not a part of the average worship service.
The last section is entirely new to this edition of the book. Wright takes Sabbath and the idea of monogamy within marriage as models to help the reader learn how to appropriately read scripture and submit to its authority. He is not asking you to come to complete agreement with his results, but rather to give you a model. This is fairly similar to the final section of Scot McKnight`s book the Blue Parakeet, but I think this was done better.
Overall, this is a book that I think that many should read. It moves far beyond the discussion of `literal reading' of scripture or how we should talk about inspiration. And it does it in a way that is patient and graceful to all sides.

How can industry and academia collaborate to meet defined 21st century challenges? The Global Food Security programme's Evangelia Kougioumoutzi reports from a GFS workshop on the topic.
At the UN Summit in September 2015, nations announced and adopted a set of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that would drive the implementation of sustainable development globally, after 2015.
The SDGs build on the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and seek to complete what they did not achieve, towards a new universal Sustainable Development Agenda.
Food security plays an important role within this agenda, such as SDG 2 'zero hunger'. But it is not the only one – other goals like SDG12 'sustainable consumption and production' or SDG13 'climate action' are also very pertinent to the challenge.
Continue reading Food, business and the Sustainable Development Goals
BBSRC's Patrick Middleton reports on a new approach from GFS to help people engage with the programme and its activities.
Food security is an issue for all of us. Here in the UK, we import around 40% of our food, and the figure is rising. Through trade deals, climate change, rising global populations and the shared risk of plant and animal diseases spreading, we now live on a global farm.
With this in mind, we want to listen to your thoughts on food security issues. As a partnership of public organisations who fund research, the Global Food Security programme (GFS) is keen that the public are able to help shape GFS's decision making. After all, it is the public who are ultimately paying for the programme through their taxes.
Continue reading Introducing the Global Food Security programme's Public Panel
What have we achieved so far? Head of the Global Food Security programme Riaz Bhunnoo takes stock of work to date.
As Charles Darwin reportedly once said, "in the history of humankind those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed". Even if he didn't actually say it, collaboration is essential to meet the food security challenge, and it is therefore a central pillar of the Global Food Security (GFS) programme. So what has GFS achieved to date?
To answer this question, we need to think about what GFS was set up to do – in brief, improve coordination and collaboration on food security research across the public sector.
Continue reading How has the GFS programme made a difference?
What can seasonal forecasts bring to agriculture and food security? Pete Falloon of the Met Office predicts progress.
They say it often pays to look ahead. Farmers have been doing just that for thousands of years, searching for the signals or patterns that might tell them the best time to sow seeds, or seek shelter for their animals.
Here in the 21st century, our desire to predict the weather is no less diminished. Now we are developing the tools, technology and models to make better predictions, not just a few days ahead, but to cover whole growing seasons and climactic events.

The United Nations has dedicated this year to a well-known substance that has incredible properties. The Soil Association's Louise Payton digs deep.
It can support buildings, filter and store billions of tonnes of water, provides a home for a quarter (PDF) of all species on earth, and is used to produce around 95% of our food. It's soil, and this is the International Year of Soils.
The reason for this grand title is the need for food security debates to better recognise soil. Soil isn't usually the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks about food security, but incredibly, 25% of agricultural soils (PDF) are severely degraded.

At the launch of a new report on food security and climate change, the British Consulate in Chicago's Jack Westwood is optimistic.
Having previously worked in a laboratory trying to find solutions to prevent and control the spread of crop disease, food security issues are often on my mind. However, being a scientist often means focusing on a very specific problem, so when the Chicago Council on Global Affairs (CCGA), an independent think-tank committed to educating the public and influencing policy debate, launched its latest report 'Advancing Global Food Security in the Face of Changing Climate' on May 22 in Washington DC, it put my previous work into sharp relief.
Continue reading More than food for thought
What kinds of collaborations lead to increased food security? Anne Radl wants to hear your success stories.
An economist, a lawyer and a community activist walk into a plant laboratory… it sounds like the beginning of a joke – one with a punchline that relies on the listener knowing that these three people have fundamentally different, irreconcilable ways of seeing the world.
But at the October 8 launch event of The Humanitarian Centre's Global Food Futures Year, held at the Sainsbury Plant Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, economists, lawyers and activists (and many others) came together to mark our year-long focus on food security.

A birth and bereavement gives food for thought. GFS Champion Tim Benton reflects.
Two recent events – the death of my father and the birth of a friend's first child – have made me ponder about the course of a human life. In particular, for someone born now what will happen to the world during their lifetime?
During our debates over food security and climate change we often look ahead. But does the timescale we choose to look ahead matter? If so, is there one that resonates with sufficient power to promote action?
Continue reading Life, death and looking ahead
Times have changed, and the world's problems need a global vision for action, says the chair of the EU Parliament Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development Paolo de Castro.
The renewed position of food security at recent G8 and G20 Summits, from L'Aquila in 2009 (PDF) to Camp David in 2012, is an acknowledgement that a more sophisticated coordination at global level is needed to meet the new challenges, which are a sort of upside-down scenario in comparison to what prevailed in the last years of the 20th century, when food seemed relatively plentiful.

Is science the only answer to climate change and food security challenges? Andrée Carter reports from the Planet under Pressure conference.
A major international conference held at the end of March, Planet under Pressure, focused on solutions to the global sustainability challenge.
First, we need to recognise a shared vision of what a truly sustainable world will look like, and to do that, we need to cooperate across disciplines and with a wide variety of stakeholders.

Migraine Headache FAQs Topic Guide
Migraine Headache FAQs: Migraines are severe headaches that last from four hours to three days. The pain may be accompanied by visual symptoms like auras as well. The exact cause of migraines is unclear, but researchers theorize it has to due with nerve or bloodflow malfunction. Migraines may be managed and/or prevented by a combination of medication and avoiding triggers.
Migraine Headache Migraine headaches are one of the most common problems seen in emergency departments and doctors' offices. Migraines are due to changes in the brain and surrounding blood vessels.

The reception is not your normal reception: it's in the middle of the restaurant. Once we were inside, we were greeted very kindly, so we felt very welcomed. The hotel had reserved the really cute "apartment" on the top floor for us, which has two levels, connected by stairs. Even though it smelled a bit stuffy, the bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub, living room, and the bed upstairs in the attic were all very clean. The apartment and the stairway leading up to it looked more like a B&B or an Inn than a hotel.
We wanted to try out the restaurant inside the hotel, but the waiters were so busy, we heard them apologizing for the long wait at the table next to us, and after we still hadn't received neither our menus nor any water after 15 minutes, we decided to leave and walk to the nearby Tutto il Giorno - which was an excellent idea. But I'll save that for a different review. :)
At night, back at the American Hotel, we slept really well, with the window of our cozy attic bedroom opened all night. The bedroom faces the back of the hotel, not the street in front of it, so you are guaranteed to sleep peacefully (at least now, in the off-season, hehe). The queen size bed was super-comfortable and the sheets and comforter kept us nice and warm.

Former Goldman Sachs Group Inc (GS.N) d irector Rajat Gupta lost his bid to suppress wiretap evidence from his upcoming criminal insider-trading trial on charges that he leaked boardroom secrets to hedge fund founder Raj Rajaratnam.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff in Manhattan issued his ruling on Tuesday ahead of Gupta's scheduled May 21 trial.
Gupta, a one-time global head of the McKinsey & Co consultancy, is the most prominent corporate executive charged in the U.S. government's investigation of illicit trading on Wall Street.
The wiretaps include the same ones admitted by U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell at Rajaratnam's insider-trading trial. Rajaratnam, founder of the Galleon Group, was convicted last May and is serving an 11-year prison term.
Rakoff ruled that the government could use the recordings at Gupta's trial, saying that "insider trading cannot often be detected, let along successfully prosecuted, without the aid of wiretaps."
But Gupta also won a victory as Rakoff directed the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which has a separate civil case against Gupta, to turn over some materials to prosecutors. The prosecution must then turn over evidence to the defense that may help Gupta show his innocence.
Rakoff said Gupta had demonstrated a "substantial need" for such evidence that overcomes any need for the SEC to keep the materials private.
Gary Naftalis, a lawyer for Gupta, declined to comment.
The case is U.S. v. Gupta, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 11-cr-00907.

Like has been said before I doubt a realistic outlook of the American apocalypse story would have the same storyline as this, but I don't think it really matters because the end outcoem is always the same, America screwing up.
Regardless of my petty personal beliefs there wasn't anything I could better on this, from the suggested attempted rape scenes to the quick introduction of the aftermath, you certainly have started something epic.

What roles do prior expertise and accumulated experience play in shaping ideologically consistent voting on a specialized court? Using a dataset of obviousness patent cases from the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit spanning 1997–2007, we show that prior expertise enhances the influence of ideology on judicial decisionmaking, but that accumulated experience does not. In addition, we build on previous work and show that ideology is a factor in decisionmaking in technical areas of law, contrary to the received wisdom on patent cases.

Health Care Gets Positive Gallup Poll But...
There's been a lot of attention today on a USA Today/Gallup poll that shows the public showing a significant tilt towards the new health law.
The poll of 1,005 adults with a plus/minus of four percentage points has 49 percent of the respondents saying the legislation was a "good thing" and 40 percent saying it was a bad thing.
The overall positive feeling towards the legislation is clearly good news for Democrats. Much better for them that the legislation polled so well given how much antipathy has been directed at it for months.
Also, there's justifiable skepticism about what the legislation will actually do and the possibility of unintended consequences. So, again, that the positives would outweigh the negatives at this stage is a noteworthy finding.
But it's important to remember that it's still early. The complex legislation was just enacted today and it's so complex it will take time for Americans to really come to grips with what the new law does and doesn't do.
What's more, much of the legislation doesn't even take effect for years.
So while this poll is interesting, it's ephemera. Let's wait to see how it's polling at the end of October of this year. And October 2012. Those will be the more important numbers.

Quick Quotes – Hollywood doubtful on Assassin's Creed movie

"They want to be able to pull the plug on the whole movie's development if they decide to. It's ridiculous."
"As a director, even Steven Spielberg cannot get this kind of deal."
Speaking to NY Mag, anonymous studio executives and insiders express doubts over Ubisoft's insistence on creative control.

Product Description
From Amazon
Though it drinks deep of its subject, Karen MacNeil's Wine Bible deftly avoids two traps many wine books fall into: talking down to wine novices or talking up to more experienced enophiles. The book avoids these traps through MacNeil's obvious, and infectious, love of her subject, which comes out in almost every sentence of the book, and which lets her talk about wine in a way that combines the good teacher, the trusted friend, and the expert sommelier. As director of the wine program at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa Valley, California, MacNeil is one of the world's true experts on wine. After reading a chapter on the Burgenland, for example, you've learned about the region's sweet wines while feeling like you're actually there, toasting a glass of Cuvee Suss with the author. It is this passion that leads to describing an Italian riservas as "mesmerizing" and a Cabernet Sauvignon as having "texture like cashmere."
The Wine Bible is broken into countries, hitting all of the major wine producers and most of the minor ones. Each section gives detailed descriptions of the country's wines (with chapters on individual regions when necessary), highlighting specific wine producers and individual wines, as well as talking about local foods, customs, and other tidbits that add to the reading experience. MacNeil begins her journey through the world's wine with an invaluable section on "Mastering Wine," which lets a reader get ready before uncorking separate sections. --A.J. Rathbun

"...this is one reference that will have a long shelf life." -- Cooking Light

"If it's connoisseurship you aspire to, a great place to begin learning more is The Wine Bible..." -- REAL SIMPLE

My biggest complaint is that I feel the book doesn't really know what it wants to be. On the one hand, it is a comprehensive reference book that in many areas goes into more depth than other general wine books. But it falls short as a reference book because it lacks the scope of books like The World Atlas of Wine or The Global Encyclopedia of Wine, which cover more up-and-coming wine producing countries, more specific producers and, especially in the case of The World Atlas of Wine, are enhanced by beautiful photographs and maps. Though the Wine Bible is substantial (it weighs in at a hefty 910 pages) its design is more compact than the other books I mentioned, and so might make a better travel companion for someone visiting multiple wine producing regions in a single trip. But the lack of good maps makes a supplemental book necessary.
Additionally, the book can feel like a disjointed collection of articles that ought to have been better integrated before publication. Often, the same information (referring to multiple or confusing names for grape varieties or regions, or quality standards in specific countries) is referred to parenthetically several times, often in quick succession -- something unnecessary, especially given the book's excellent glossary.
But despite these criticisms, I find myself referring to the book repeatedly.Read more ›
It won't tell you everything there is to know about wine; that only comes with further reading and lots of tasting. But it's a spectacular foundation to learning the history and traditions involved, and it does a remarkable job of covering its subject without prejudices. The history of recent (i.e. last couple of hundred years) of wine development is the focus -- if you're looking for information on ancient wines you won't find much of it here, but if you want to know how Chile or Australia became the wine-growing powerhouses they are today, this book will tell you everything you might wish to know.
I've no real complaints with the book. There are big holes in its coverage, but wine is a truly gigantic subject and MacNeil has done a great job covering as much ground as she can -- there's great information on most of the major wine-growing countries, starting with France and Italy and going from there. There's even a narrative of sorts, with heroes like Robert Mondavi and the Gallo Brothers who rebuilt the California wine industry with book knowledge when the traditions had been wiped out by Prohibition, and villains like the phylloxera aphid that nearly destroyed the wine industry worldwide before American botanists saved the day by grafting European vines onto American rootstocks. Ancient traditions in France, Germany, and Italy are placed alongside modern innovation in California, Australia, and South America, showing that either way is an effective method for creating a great wine. Champagne is mentioned alongside the humble Spanish cava and party-loving German sekt.Read more ›

|She does not need a home health aide or anything like that- she just lacks the motivation.
That isn't necessarily true. I would recommend that she be evaluated for a stroke. She may have no idea that she is ignoring her own hygiene. You said she moved-in because of poor health. What was/is wrong?
She (and, you) may need a home health aide to come in and help her with her daily personal care. If she is aware of her difficulties, she may be too embarrassed to discuss them with you! She may not want to admit she needs help. You said she replied in a cursory manner "I'm fine" when you asked when she had last showered. This could be about her feeling a loss of independence ("Crap, she's telling me I smell. Do I now need to have someone help me bathe or wipe myself?!").
A home health aide can bring this up with her in a private conversation. It is always easier coming from someone OTHER than a family member!!!
That isn't necessarily true. I would recommend that she be evaluated for a stroke. She may have no idea that she is ignoring her own hygiene. You said she moved-in because of poor health. What was/is wrong?
Oh, is she on any medications? Often, meds will affect the elderly differently than a younger person. If she IS on meds, they may be affecting her cognitive reasoning. Please take her to see a doctor that specializes in geriatrics (a naturopath would be great). Also, if she is on meds, talk to the pharmacist about her behavior. Many times, pharmacists can tell you more than the physicians!
I don't know where you are, but if you have some agency that comes in to assess people on their mental health issues and put in place a plan for change, I would call them. We have one here in Canada but the name escapes me for some odd reason. I would think that confronting her, gently or otherwise will be pointless, since it seems her problems run far deeper than just nudging her into the shower.
I'd suggest definitely having her evaluated, but going into it knowing that an evaluation isn't going to fix the problem. Even if a professional tells her that she needs to take care of herself, she may not be willing (or even care) to do it.
|In a rush right now, can't elaborate all that much but briefly- she moved in with us following two back-to-back strokes. There doesn't appear to be any residual physical affects from the strokes, but some language and cognitive issues...fairly mild though. More than anything they seem to have affected her mood/drive/motivation, understandably so to a certain degree.
And yes- lots of medications (all but once she has taken for years prior to the stroke) for her diabetes, high blood pressure, cholesterol, water retention, cancer, etc.
|Also, I asked Dh and he said that he suspects that she never bathed even before her strokes- that she's always prefered to just give wash herself with a washcloth.
