Zecharia Sitchin's autobiographical recounting of a half century of investigative expeditions to unravel the enigmas of ancient civilizations and their gods
• Includes vivid accounts of explorations in Greece, Thera, Crete, Egypt, the Sinai, Israel, Jordan, and Mesoamerica
• Reveals behind-the-scenes findings in museums and archaeological sites
• Contains 60 color and 159 black-and-white images from the author's personal archive, including previously unpublished photographic evidence of UFOs in biblical times
For the first time, Zecharia Sitchin, author of the bestselling The Earth Chronicles series, reveals the foundational research and adventurous expeditions that resulted in the concrete evidence for his conclusions that ancient myths were recollections of factual events, that the gods of ancient peoples were visitors to Earth from another planet, and that we are not alone in our own solar system. In the course of his investigations Sitchin also became convinced of the veracity of the Bible.
Sitchin's expeditions take readers from the Yucatan peninsula to the isle of Crete to ancient Egypt and the lands of the Bible as he explores the links between the Old World and the New World. His adventurous exploits reveal archaeological cover-ups concerning Olmec origins in Mexico and ancient UFO artifacts in Turkey. Other quests send him through the holy sites of Jerusalem, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon in search of evidence of extraterrestrial gods in the artifacts and murals of these ancient civilizations. The Earth Chronicles Expeditions is a masterful historical and archaeological adventure into the origins of mankind and a "must" guidebook for all who wish to visit the numerous sites and museums covered in this book.
Editorial Reviews
"A fascinating theory and supportive evidence comes alive in this sequel."
"Sitchin brings ancient civilization alive as he reveals the origins of mankind on planet Earth."
"There's much food for thought and inspiration in these glimpses into lost history."

Read an Excerpt
The Elephant and The Astronaut
In 1869, farmers in Mexico made an unusual discovery. The embarrassment that it caused evidently continues to this day, and may play a part in the suppression of artifacts that suggest a link between the development of civilization in Mesoamerica and the involvement of extraterrestrials. My tale of it includes two museum visits, a missing elephant, and a "leap of faith" by an American astronaut.
The ruins and remains of Mexico's pre-Colombian civilizations enchant, intrigue, and fascinate. One aspect of them is also embarrassing to some Mexicans--the oldest and earliest relics, from a people referred to as the Olmecs. These relics are an embarrassing enigma because they challenge scholars and prideful nationalists to explain how people from Africa could have come to the New World not hundreds but thousands of years before Columbus, and how they could have developed, seemingly overnight, the Mother Civilization of Mesoamerica. To acknowledge the Olmecs and their civilization as the Mother Civilization of Mesoamerica means acknowledging that they preceded that of the Mayans and Aztecs, whose heritage the Spaniards tried to eradicate and Mexicans today are proud of.
As archaeological discovery followed archaeological discovery, it became evident that the "Olmecs" first settled on the Gulf coast of Mexico, spreading inland and in time reaching Mexico's Pacific coast. More than twenty Olmec sites have been uncovered, some bearing by now famous names such as La Venta, Tres Zapotes, San Lorenzo, Cerro de la Piedras. I have gone with my expedition groups to the most significant Olmec sites. The first time I went on my own (accompanied only by my grandson Salo) it was to see the major Olmec finds from La Venta which had been transferred to the city of Villahermosa and set up there in a park-museum to protect them from damage by oil drillers.
The colossal stone heads were the prime attraction, and their size can be judged by photographs of me standing next to some of them. But size was not the only or most impressive aspect; what impressed me most was the artistry and craftsmanship of these sculptures. And not just the heads--throughout the park-museum there were placed great slabs of stone whose faces were carved with the most complex details--some showing Olmec parents holding their children, or showing them with elaborate headgear. It seemed certain to me that in some if not most instances, the headgear and tools held by the depicted Olmecs were associated with mining.
The archaeological discoveries left no doubt that the Olmecs built complex urban centers--some, as at La Venta, with pyramidical structures of great size and with astronomical alignments. The Olmecs engaged in mining, attained high levels of art, introduced hieroglyphic writing to Mesoamerica, and were also the first in Mesoamerica to have a calendar. They were, in other words, both the first and the Mother Civilization in Mesoamerica.
The enigma of the Olmecs presented a double puzzle: How did black Africans cross the Atlantic Ocean long before Columbus? And how long ago did it happen?
Nationalistic archaeologists dealt with the Olmec enigma at first by suggesting the least-oldest date for their origin: 250 B.C., which would put them into a latecomers category. But as one Olmec site after another was dug up, the date kept shifting back to 500 B.C., then even 1250 B.C. Since my own date for the arrival of the Olmecs in Mesoamerica (a date coupled with an explanation of the circumstances of their arrival) was 3100 B.C., I was pleased to read in the official guidebook of the La Venta Park Museum a slight concession. It dated the Olmecs' first settlement on the coast of the Gulf of Mexico to "between 1350 and 1250 B.C.," and elsewhere in the guidebook to an even earlier time, conceding "the appearance of the first civilization of Mesoamerica a little under 4,000 years ago."
But the older the Olmec civilization became, the more the problem became one of national pride. Unable to deny the existence of the Olmecs and also their antiquity, Mexican anthropologists began to assert that the very notion of Africans crossing the Atlantic millennia of years ago was baseless and that the so-called "Olmecs" were indigenous people--Mesoamericans whose features happened to have a resemblance to Africans.
Such an inventive way to explain the enigma of Olmec origins is clearly expressed in the official catalogue of the best museum in Mexico dedicated to the Olmecs, the Anthropological Museum of the University of Veracruz in Jalapa (sometimes spelled Xalapa). The introduction, written by a noted Mexican scholar, states in regard to the persons depicted in the Olmec sculptures that "in spite of the general similarity of features--flat noses with flaring nostrils and thickened lips (leading some to falsely claim an African origin for the Olmecs)," they were indigenous people and not strangers from across the seas.
And such statements that the suggestion of African origins for the Olmecs is a false claim, bring me to The Case of the Missing Elephant.
Jalapa, a gem of a town situated in the cooler mountains about two hours' drive from the hot and humid Veracruz (where Hérnan Cortez landed in 1519), now boasts a new museum that is second only in excellence to the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. But unlike Mexico City's museum which displays artifacts from all over the country, the one in Jalapa exhibits only locally discovered artifacts--predominantly Olmec ones.
The museum dramatically and effectively displays, in an innovative setting, a wealth of artifacts from the Olmec period, including several colossal stone heads. One of them is displayed right at the entrance, which serves as an inviting spot to take one's picture; other stone heads are displayed among trees and greenery in open courtyards, placing them in a more natural surrounding.

Shout out to providing superior customer service from the events services manager Kim Loud!
As a guest (club level) I needed a room for a small meeting with a projector and wireless to pitch a idea. I did not want to spend big bucks to make it happen. The business center is not allowed to rent projectors ( because the AV supplier does) , and the AV supplier wanted a daily rate of $550 for a rental. I was in the hotel as part of a big convention, so Kim found me a meeting room that had been used by the mother organization and left it set for me to use for just a 45 min meeting. Better yet, no cost! I run a start up company and cost is everything, so that's to Kim for being a problem solver and not a road block. I hope the management empowers the staff to treat everyone this way!

Percy Mayfield
12 August 1920, Minden, Louisiana, USA, d. 11 August 1984, Los Angeles, California, USA. A gifted performer, with a rich soulful voice, the Los Angeles-based Mayfields first success came in 1950 with Please Send Me Someone To Love on the Specialty Records label. A massive US R&B hit, it reportedly sold well in excess of one million copies and became an enduring composition through its many cover versions including one by Ray Charles. Further chart entries, Lost Love (1951) and Big Question (1952), confirmed Mayfields status, but a terrible car accident suffered in 1953 when he was travelling home to Los Angeles from a gig in Las Vegas drastically curtailed his solo career. The accident cost Mayfield his matinee idol looks and he returned to his home town of Minden, Louisiana. His songwriting took on a darker hue, with songs such as My Jug And I and My Bottle Is My Companion reflecting his...

BUSINESS; How to Put Procter On the Road Again, After a Pileup
By KATE BERRY and ELLEN ALMER
Published: June 18, 2000
HOW did Procter & Gamble, arguably the world's pre-eminent marketer of consumer products, fall so far? The company stunned investors on June 8 by announcing that it would miss quarterly earnings projections again and that Durk I. Jager, its chief executive, would step down after just 17 months.
Given that Mr. Jager himself was supposed to get the company going again, his departure has raised doubts about whether it can squeeze more growth from mature brands like Tide, Pringles and Crest, and whether it can develop promising new ones.
To provide answers, the company named Alan G. Lafley, the head of North American operations, as its new president and chief executive, and called John Pepper, a P.& G. former chairman and chief executive who came back from retirement, to lead the board again. Mr. Pepper said that the company under Mr. Jager took on ''too much change, too fast.''
Experts including scholars, consultants, former P.& G. executives and managers of other corporations have their own perspectives on what went wrong and what the company should do to set things right. Following are excerpts from their comments.
DENNIS MALAMATINAS -- Chief executive of the Burger King unit of Diageo. Former marketing and brand manager at P.& G.
P.& G. needs to focus on some core brands. They need to put ruthless focus on brands that create value down the road -- about 20 brands out of 400.
They need to accelerate the introduction of new products and support them. It's a fine balance between becoming a nimble, flexible, agile, less bureaucratic organization, while at the same time preserving great ingredients of the culture.
The company has some great attributes. But they tried to take out costs too quickly and they tried to shift the culture. The art of the C.E.O. is to preserve the culture while focusing on growth.
They need to grow their top 10 brands in the top 6 markets. At Burger King, I operate in 67 markets, but I know there are 6 markets that will deliver 80 percent of shareholder value and we have to be ruthless in terms of allocating resources.
Durk Jager tried to change the culture so quickly that he didn't get the best out of the people. He tried to change the company overnight. Most of the people have been there forever.
When I talk to my people, I always talk about culture. If I was the C.E.O., I would bring in some fresh blood from outside. They always grew from within. I would bring in two or three top people.
They are going to come back. They need the right leader and they need to move quickly.
KAREN FRANCIS -- Chief marketing officer, Internet Capital Group. Former manager of the Oldsmobile division of General Motors. Former Crest brand manager at P.& G.
I was there from 1984 to 1987, and it really was the boot camp of marketing training. Their marketing approach was focused on really understanding a customer, honing in on them, and that was a very smart and proven strategy for building brands. But the business economy, and the number of choices people have today, are accelerating in ways we haven't seen before. So they should be taking a little bit more risk and getting involved in trying more offerings.
An excellent example is their new product Febreze [a spray for removing odors from household fabrics]. It was a risk. A company the size of P.& G., with their marketing penetration, should be able to generate more of those products. Everyone is looking for what's new.
SANJAY DHAR -- Professor of marketing, University of Chicago Graduate School of Business.
P.& G. is a company that needs a little bit of rethinking of its vision. If you go back a few years, P.& G. essentially started getting rid of people in-house who were doing analytic work. And that doesn't make sense to me, because the marketing environment today is very data intensive. This happened at the same time that other consumer products companies, like Kraft, were adding more marketing people and doing this very successfully.
P.& G. is good at innovation and spinning new products. They are not good at cost-cutting. A few years ago, they tried to reduce coupons. Now, I have a baby and I end up buying Huggies all the time because they have coupons available and P.& G. cut that out.
SCOTT COOK -- Chairman and founder of Intuit, the maker of software including Quicken and TurboTax. Former Crisco brand manager at P.& G.
When I left, I applied the P.& G. method to an industry that sorely needed it. Now we have the two best-selling software titles in retail history. We put it through consumer tests, asked them what they wanted. This software is written for consumers, not technical people.
The key at P.& G. was research and development. The products were the best. You would do blind taste tests and give the customer Brand X and ours, and they'd always pick ours.
BERND SCHMITT -- Professor of business, Columbia University. Author of ''Experiential Marketing'' (Free Press, 1999).
Frankly, the problems are not confined to just P.& G. Unilever, Nestle -- it's almost an industry disease. It's not just about the individual products; it's about the companies behind them. It's similar to the situation that faced I.B.M. in the late 80's.
Markets are conversations, not transaction tools. You have to talk to customers in a human voice. You can't just project your image on a screen; nowadays customers want different approaches.

Things always work out (Morby fan-fic) Chapter 1Things always work out (Morby fan-fic) Chapter 1 by Wyattsrules
Chapter 1: Rigby's realization
A small twang hit Rigby's ears making the small raccoon stir in his clothes, sitting up and looking over to the alarm clock on Mordecai's bed stand. It said 3:00Am , it was too early for it to be going off, then what could the noise have been? The raccoon got off of the bed and walked over towards Mordecai's bed. He let his eyes wander over the blue avian's feathers, he reached out. His hand stopped mid movement as he heard another twang. His ears twitched towards the noise and small glow. It was Mordecai's cell phone going off. W-Why is his phone going off this early? Who could it be? Rigby thought to himself his eagerness and curiosity getting overwhelming. He walked over towards the phone and picked it up in his furry paws looking at the glowing screen. It still had the background he had put on it when Mordecai accidentally butt dialed Margaret. He let out a small chuckle before rubbing his eyes and looking at the phone. The name Marg

Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter PC

- Release Date: Oct 28, 2011
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Dec 19, 2011But if you're a person who doesn't want to wait around for patches and who likes a gaming experience you can glide into rather than struggle through, I sadly suggest either giving this one a pass or at least giving it time to get patched up in time for a steep Steam sale.
Nov 27, 2011On the one hand, the bare bones of the game are there, the potential is there, and I wouldn't trust many devs outside of Kerberos to patch this to a decent state. On the other, regardless, it's going to take at least a few months to patch it to a state where it's not just "sort of playable", it's actually enjoyable. But if you feel like helping nurture a game to completion, by all means fork out. Those of you who are more cautious, hang back a few months, it should be cool by then.
Nov 23, 2011Sword of the Stars II is a complete mess but inside the mess there is one hell of a space 4x odissey. Hopefully the guys at Kherberos will complete the game with patches and upgrades and, maybe, with a couple of scenarios.
Nov 15, 2011It's just a little bit boring right now. If you want to show Paradox and Kerberos your support, then by all means go buy it, but regardless of whether you pick it up now or not, it'll probably take a couple of months of patches to be the game it was meant to be.
Nov 11, 2011This game was relased prematurely. We hope that constant patching can turn this game into the game it could be, but currently there are too many technical problems to suggest to our readers to buy it.

Kerberos' efforts are beyond dedicated, and if you don't believe me you can go on their site and browse the thousands of fixes and additions that have been made to the game. Or don't believe that, and buy it. I just bought the game again, and at turn 30 am still going strong. I have to admit the UI is still a little clunky and it might be hard for beginners, but the game and all of its featurey goodness is there now. It has finally begun to capture the magic of the original, and hopefully soon with the stream of updates that has yet to cease, it will surpass its predecessor. I think the worst game of 2011 may soon be one of the best of 2012!… Full Review »
Nov 2, 2011DO NOT BUY until there is a general consensus that game development has been completed.
As of 2011-11-2, this game is UNFINISHED andDO NOT BUY until there is a general consensus that game development has been completed.
As of 2011-11-2, this game is UNFINISHED and UNPLAYABLE, due to a large number of factors, including:
= Instability. Often, the game will crash to desktop with no way to continue playing. Sometimes you can load an autosave and continue; sometimes that's it -- your game is over, and to play more you have to start anew.
= Missing gameplay features. Parts of the game simply have not been implemented yet.
= Missing documentation. Which is better: a warehouse or a hangar? Don't know? Well, neither does anyone else. But you should probably build one or else you may or may not lose the game 4 or 80 turns down the line.
= Bugs, everywhere! Want your ships to fire on the enemy? They'd rather float there for a while instead. Retreat then. Oh, wait, now they're firing. And they refuse to move. Great.
At this point, you'd be spending 40$ on an early beta build of the game.
The developers have a record of fixing their games over time. On the other hand, as of this launch, they have a record of taking your money while intentionally misleading you about the goods you buying.
The verdict? In the game's current state, you can't play it regardless of whether you've bought it or not. So until that's no longer the case (and until the price reflects the quality of the game), don't buy.
IF, on the other hand, you're willing to send the dev team 40$ in the hope that it will help them survive and finish making the game -- by all means, feel free to do so, and you might even get a finished game in the future. Just don't pretend that 40$ bought you a game, and not a promise and access to the beta.… Full Review »

Was released on October 28th through Steam, but Paradox changed the release date to the 31st for physical copies and I can see why. The original released version was a Beta, wrong file uploaded to Steam, I understand mistakes happen, so another version was uploaded the following day. Well nothing really changed and the publisher admitted on their forums that they knew the product was bad they were going to release and patch it. Menus are grayed out so they cannot be selected, such as options, no scenarios maps but a tab, the encyclopedia which they tell you to use for information appears to be mostly empty. The manual was a draft copy that the published put on the forums, how do you not have a manual completed for release? The graphics are beautiful but without just clicking around its next to impossible to figure out how anything works. No tutorial, no intro missions, no manual, no encyclopedia. Horrible game, horrible release.… Full Review »

Faces on TV Get Younger And Comedy Is Not King
By BILL CARTER
Published: May 24, 1999
The main impressions from the unveiling of new shows for the fall television season: The new shows you will be seeing in September will be filled with teen-agers, sex, gay characters and glamorous-looking white people; they will not be filled with comedy, adults over 40, rural characters and African-Americans.
Shows about teen-agers and model-quality folk under age 25 dominated the 38 new series as the smoke cleared from a week of program presentations. The smoke was being blown aggressively by a succession of network executives selling the notion that they were faring brilliantly, despite all ratings evidence to the contrary.
The skew toward youth is not new. Because advertisers pay more for younger viewers, most networks (except CBS) have built shows around young characters for years. But the target age is moving lower, edging ever nearer to the level of those not yet eating solid food.
Shows are also moving away from one of the most firmly established genres in the history of the medium, the sitcom. The half-hour comedy, if not in full retreat, is certainly losing ground. Only 14 of the new shows are sitcoms, an unusually low number. Most seasons, there are as many comedies as dramas, and in some recent seasons there have been more comedies than dramas.
Many of the new shows are hourlong comedies: ''Get Real,'' about tribulations of a contemporary family on Fox; ''Popular,'' about the forced union (by their parents' marriage) of a girl from the in crowd with a girl from the out crowd, and two NBC entries, ''Freaks and Geeks,'' about more out-crowd woes, and ''Cold Feet,'' about the interaction of three couples.
This is partly a reaction to the success of ''Ally McBeal,'' the hit hourlong comedy on Fox. Paradoxically, the creator of that series, David E. Kelley, decided to remix it into half-hour segments for a new series of sorts, called just plain ''Ally,'' on Fox this coming season. Mr. Kelley clearly wants to improve his series's chances of selling as a half-hour show in syndication, where all the money is.
The move away from the sitcom is most noticeable at NBC. Only a few seasons ago NBC emphasized its ''must-see'' comedies as the core of its schedule. At a high point there were 18 sitcoms on NBC. Next season that will drop to 10.
Robert C. Wright, the president of NBC, said: ''The writing talent is spread so thin. It just seems like the genre has run out of gas for the moment.''
For the last few years, every network has complained about the comedy writing talent, with one main charge being that the young comedy writers favored by studios and networks have little life experience and no frame of reference beyond other television shows. Those limitations may be reflected in the crop of three new comedies at ABC, for example, which deal virtually exclusively with relationships, dating and sex.
One agent who represents some of television's biggest comedy clients said another problem affecting the amount of comedies was the movement by producers to push their comedies as far toward the edge of subject matter and taste as possible. Most of these efforts were eventually judged either too wild or too unfunny to get on the air.
One show that pushed limits and won is ''Action,'' a new Fox comedy as aggressively outrageous as any recent show. ''Action'' is about a driven Hollywood film producer who uses language never tried on network television before (and always bleeped here, though one way or another it is clear what the character is saying). The show also depends heavily on graphic anatomical jokes.
Then again, anatomy -- especially of the male variety -- plays a role in many new entries, even on staid CBS. This is true of some of the teen-age shows. One, ''Manchester Prep'' on Fox, has a scene of a stepsister eyeing her stepbrother after he emerges from the shower.
But teen-agers will be everywhere doing everything next season. As networks are more befuddled than ever about the future and emphasize more than ever the need to create new hit shows, one main trend is discernible: a mania to imitate a network whose audience is among the smallest, the soon-to-be-six-night network, WB.
Thanks to the success of several of WB's youth-oriented shows, especially ''Dawson's Creek'' and ''Felicity,'' with success defined almost solely by the network's ability to attract female viewers ages 12 to 25, television will be filled next fall with shows set in high schools and prep schools or among twentysomething singles looking for love in Manhattan. (There are no fewer than three shows with the latter premise, which matches that of ''Felicity.'')
Every network but CBS and UPN has one or another of this type of show, and many have both. CBS does not, mainly because it seems to be as aggressively running away from young viewers as the other networks are chasing them. CBS continues to be the only network featuring unglamorous actors, grandparents and assertively nonhip story lines.
UPN does not because, as it struggles to find some niche for survival, it has changed direction yet again and is now seeking what might be called the un-''Dawson'' audience: young males moved by wrestling, not nestling. UPN will have two hours of wrestling every Thursday night.

Read an Excerpt
You hold in your hands the book of my heart. I wrote it for those of you who are just now embarking on the great adventure called marriage. But it is written for married couples as well–from newlyweds to those married half a century or more. It is for all of us who, having once said, "I do," attempt daily to live out the brave promises they spoke in their wedding vows.
The inspiration behind With This Ring came from an unusual place. As a friend and I browsed through a local interior design shop one day, we entered a room that featured a lovely bedroom ensemble. However, it was the calligraphy dancing just below the ceiling that caught my attention.
Along the upper wall, an artist had hand-lettered the words of the traditional wedding vows in a lively mix of painted calligraphy and golden confetti: "Dearly beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony.…"
"How beautiful," I told my friend as I circled the room, looking upward. "I would love to have this painted in our bedroom."
A loud snort of disgust interrupted my musings. Turning, I found a middle-aged man shaking his head with a sneer of amusement. "No one means those words anymore," he said.
Shocked, I replied, "Well, I do."
"Take it from me, sweetheart," he said, leaning in as if to let me in on a secret. "The men never do."
I could only stare at his self-satisfied grin as I pulled back in disbelief. To have a complete stranger be so openly cynical about marriage was new to me.
"Well, take it from me," I said when I finally found my voice. "My husband meant those words. And he proves it every day."
I went home shaken and saddened by the exchange, not because I am unaware of the challenges and disappointments marriage sometimes brings, but because the world so easily dismisses what God so highly values.
Out of that encounter at the design shop, however, came a determination to look deeper into the words we say so sincerely, though perhaps a bit naively, when we stand before God and family to become husband and wife. My search to find the meaning of the wedding tokens and traditions and the beauty surrounding them led to the writing of this book.
As you read this book and weave your own story into it, I hope you will find the same inspiration and sense of wonder I experienced as I looked at the history and meaning behind the phrases of the wedding vows and the significance of the wedding ceremony. But even more, I hope you will walk away with the same holy determination to live out those vows daily in a deeper and more meaningful way than ever before.
From this day forward… 'Til death do us part.
The Day Love Was Born
The angels saw it all. Creator spoke, and suddenly the dark, swirling chaos of the cosmos disappeared, leaving an ordered universe in its place.
Night. Day. Land. Water. Word by word, day by day, the plan of Creator unfolded before the heavenly host, each creation more wonderful than the last. The Father spoke. The Spirit moved. And the angels applauded.
"Marvelous!" cried one angel. "Incredible!" said another.
The brilliant blue and green planet beckoned with beauty, nestled against the black night sprinkled with stars. Layered with lush forests and soaring mountains, it was a palace fit for a King. As though God himself would dwell there.
"Unthinkable!" cried one. "Ludicrous!" said another.
And yet it was so. Each evening Creator left his throne and walked in the garden he'd created, visiting the man he'd formed from the dust of this new world. The man created to fellowship with almighty God.
the angels wondered. Never had such an honor been given. And yet somehow they understood. The heart of Creator was so large it ached to love. The adoration of angels and their unrestrained praise filled his ears but failed to touch his heart. He longed for love. Not worship. Not fearful reverence. But love.Laughter echoed across the garden and into heaven. The fellowship was sweet. Creator smiled as Created named each animal, exulting in every one. Together they explored the secrets of Eden and the wonder of this new friendship. But as the days passed, a growing conviction gripped the heart of Creator. A bittersweet realization that there was still more to give.
Each creature had a mate. Another of its kind. But the man was alone.
"It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helpmate."
And in that moment love was born. Not in the creation of the woman, but in the Creator's willingness to share the man. In the Creator's willingness to give. For God so loved…he gave. Though it meant sacrificing the single-minded devotion of the man, God gave. Though it meant sharing the communion meant only for him, God gave. Though it meant the willful disobedience of man and woman would someday cost Creator the life of his dear Son, God gave.
We, too, must give if we endeavor to love. Love holds no room for selfishness. It is only in laying down our life that we find it. It is only in losing that we win. We can learn a lot from the day love was born.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. —Philippians 2:3

Broadcast-based test compression techniques can reduce both test data and test time. However, the success of such methods heavily depends on the percentage of test patterns that can be broadcasted. In this paper, we first conduct a quantitative analysis that shows the simple broadcast architecture that cannot achieve good test time/data compression even under a test set with very high level of don't care bits. A multi-mode-segmented scan test architecture (MSSA) is then presented to solve the problem of low broadcast rate. Three operation modes are supported in this architecture: broadcast, multicast and serial. As a result, improved test data compression is achievable with limited hardware overhead, as serial-mode operations are largely eliminated. An algorithm for the two-way partitions of the scan segments is proposed to construct multicast mode configurations. Finally, we present a layout-aware scan chain ordering method to further improve test compression. The problem of ordering scan cells in multiple scan chains is mapped to a constrained standard cell placement problem in physical synthesis, and the simulated annealing method is used to solve the problem. The routing length of the scan chains are also taken into account in the ordering process.

Bio: The band was founded at one of the regular gothic-parties in Kaliningrad (Koenigsberg) in 2007 and 14/02/2007 is considered to be the band's official "birthday". The first band membership named ASPHODEL came from the pieces of a dark metal project where some of the musicians had been working for ...See Full Bio
"Already the third listen to the album manages to sound familiar and give direction of plaintive melodies that at first glance are somewhat flat. In the twelve pieces stand out "Shade", a piece quite going, but with dreamy atmospheres. The next "In the Hands of Death" is heavy, much doom and tenebrare which follows slightly funeral death metal. This song is longer than nine minutes, and "Dream of the Astronaut" has thirty seconds less. Are two pieces in some ways and not so ambitious for the length, but because of the extreme diversity of the parties characterize them. Maybe not all really successful, but overall the desire to enrich and inspire so much (sometimes maybe too much) by Adfail in their compositions. Few songs immediately wink, however many occasions scattered that are pleasant and even more, but we must take the proper time to understand and assimilate all that there is, in the form of sound, between these parts extremely appealing."

Obama's NAFTA double-talk confirmed: CTV
posted at 10:11 am on February 29, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
After reporting on Barack Obama's dance with the Canadians on NAFTA yesterday, Canadian broadcaster CTV got accused of perpetrating a smear against the Democratic front-runner. They insisted that Obama meant every word he said about overturning the free-trade treaty, and that no one had contacted the Canadian diplomatic corps to reassure them that it was mere demagoguery. CTV responded today by naming names — and suddenly the Obama campaign has grown quiet:
The Obama campaign told CTV late Thursday night that no message was passed to the Canadian government that suggests that Obama does not mean what he says about opting out of NAFTA if it is not renegotiated.
However, the Obama camp did not respond to repeated questions from CTV on reports that a conversation on this matter was held between Obama's senior economic adviser — Austan Goolsbee — and the Canadian Consulate General in Chicago.
Earlier Thursday, the Obama campaign insisted that no conversations have taken place with any of its senior ranks and representatives of the Canadian government on the NAFTA issue. On Thursday night, CTV spoke with Goolsbee, but he refused to say whether he had such a conversation with the Canadian government office in Chicago. He also said he has been told to direct any questions to the campaign headquarters.
CTV didn't stop there. They also announced that their sources, at "the highest levels of the Canadian government", reconfirmed the story to CTV. One of their primary sources provided a timeline of the discussion to CTV. Contrary to some reports, CTV has not retreated at all from this story.
Jim Geraghty notes:
I realize Obama's campaign can still claim that one of his advisers went rogue in contacting the Canadians about his NAFTA rhetoric, but to me, this is game, set and match to CTV. … If Goolsbee had not talked to officials in the consulate, it seems likely that his answer would have been, "No, I didn't talk to them."
Who is Austin Goolsbee? According to this press release from last September, Goolsbee serves as the Senior Economic Advisor to the Obama campaign. He was highly touted by Obama in his visit to Iowa in that month, when he showed his intellectual chops by bringing Goolsbee along with a raft of other advisers, in part to show that he wasn't a political lightweight.
It will be rather hard to distance himself from Goolsbee at this point. If Goolsbee spent time reassuring the Canadians sotto voce that Obama was merely demagoguing on NAFTA, then voters need to understand that the supposed "new politics" of Obama smells very similar to that of the same old lies and empty rhetoric we have heard from the Beltway for decades. And without that "new politics", Obama is nothing more than an empty suit with a pleasant voice.
UPDATE: ABC also gets some refusal to confirm or deny from both Goolsbee and the Canadian diplomat in question, Georges Rioux.
