The TV Bafta awards belonged to Olivia Colman after the Broadchurch star picked up two awards for two very different roles.
The star won the supporting actress award for her role as the mother of a murdered son in Accused (Mo's Story) and picked up her second Bafta for female in a comedy for her role in Olympic satire Twenty Twelve.

She beat three other actresses including her Twenty Twelve co-star Jessica Hynes to the award, saying: "I'm not even the funniest one in our own programme".
Speaking backstage, Colman said she was "thinking there has been a mistake" after winning her second award.
She joked: "I'm a bit doomed now, I'm never going to work again" and said her appeal was down to people thinking she was "safe", saying: "I'm never going to take anyone's husband".
She said Hollywood had not come calling, but said she would be happy to go if it did adding: "Of course, it's warm and I think they pay better".
Host Graham Norton introduced the show, formally known as the Arqiva British Academy Television Awards, from the Royal Festival Hall in London.
He kicked off with a series of gags about the spate of recent celebrity arrests, saying the show had to start before "any of our presenters or guests are unavoidably detained" before Homeland stars Damian Lewis and David gave the evening's first award - for best drama series - to Last Tango in Halifax.
The show, about a pair of pensioners who rekindle a romance late in life, beat off competition including ITV cop show Scott and Bailey.
One of its stars, Anne Reid said it was the "most fantastic series to be a part of" and added: "I am so happy the BBC has decided to do love stories about people who are over 35 because some of us do have quite interesting lives when we get to 70".
Sheridan Smith was named leading actress for her role in Mrs Biggs.
A tearful Smith, who played the wife of Great Train Robber Ronnie Biggs in the ITV show, said: "Is this a wind-up? Is this for real?"
Smith, who said winning was like an "out of body experience", also said she was going to call the real Mrs Biggs in Australia to tell her she had won.
The Bafta for leading actor went to Ben Whishaw for Richard II (The Hollow Crown).
The award for sport and live event was won by Channel's 4's coverage of the 2012 Paralympics.
One of the presenters, Ade Adepitan, said the win was "an absolute honour".
He said: "Thank you Channel 4, for letting us be ourselves."
Shameless star Anne Marie Duff announced the award for supporting actor went to Shakespearean veteran Simon Russell Beale for his performance as Falstaff in the BBC version of Henry IV Part 2.
Olympic satire Twenty Twelve won the sitcom award.
The award for entertainment programme went to Norton's chatshow with the Irish comic accepting his own award before returning to hosting duties.
He joked: "It's funny how that can cheer an evening up."
The award for reality and constructed factual show went Made in Chelsea.
One of its stars, Francis Boulle said: "Who would have thought you would get a Bafta for being posh?"
There was a special award for sports presenter Claire Balding who hosted much of the Olympics coverage.
The tearful star said the games brought an "incredible positive energy, a feeling we could do anything and we did".
The features award went to The Great British Bake Off with co-host Mel Giedroyc saying: "Who knew there could be so much drama in a scone? Amazing."
EastEnders won the award for soap and continuing drama and the award for male in a comedy went to Steve Coogan for Welcome To The Places Of My Life.
The Revolution Will Be Televised was named the best comedy programme.
The Radio Times Audience Award, voted for by viewers, went to Sky's bloodthirsty fantasy series Game of Thrones.
All In The Best Possible Taste with Grayson Perry, which saw the cross-dressing potter travel the country to see what different people considered tasteful, won the award for specialist factual.
The international award went to US show Girls, with the award for entertainment performance going to Alan Carr for his chatshow.
Accepting his award, he said: "I'm going to kill the person who selects the clips because it is normally funny".
Monty Python star Terry Jones presented his co-star Michael Palin with the Bafta Fellowship.
Accepting his award to a standing ovation, Palin said his first celebrity invite was to open some public toilets in Lambeth and said it had been "quite a journey" from there to the Royal Festival Hall.
He said his award was for "thoroughly enjoying myself for the last 48 years and I feel slightly guilty about that".
Speaking backstage, Palin added his career would go on and he "will die but not retire".
He said he was once recognised while filming on a small island between Alaska and Russia.
He said a group of Inuit elders watched as he sailed off the island, before one said to him: "Hey, aren't you the guy from Monty Python?"
The award for factual series went to BBC Three's Our War, which followed events on the front line in Afghanistan from the perspective of the troops on the ground.
This World's investigation into child abuse in the Catholic church won the award for current affairs, beating ITV's documentary about Jimmy Savile's sex crimes, a Panorama special on the crisis in Britain's housing and Al Jazeera's investigation into the death of Yasser Arafat.
The award for news coverage went to Granada Reports programme, Hillsborough - The truth at last.
BBC Two's Murder was named the best single drama, while 7/7: One Day In London won the award for single documentary.
The BBC's adaptation of John Braine's novel Room at the Top, which starred Doctor Who's Jenna-Louise Coleman, won the award for mini-series.

- Top 8 Strategies for Boosting IT Energy Efficiency
- CDW's Top 8 Solutions to Boost IT Energy Efficiency
The report indicates that 54% of IT departments are focusing on energy consumption management to help meet these goals, which has proven to be a successful strategy for 75% of the 760 IT professionals surveyed in the report.
From these surveys, technology solutions firm, CDW, has identified the top eight strategies employed by these companies to help them reduce energy consumption and associated costs. It also provides the average percentage of energy consumption each strategy cut from pre-initiative consumption levels.
The result is a neat roadmap for departments searching for a set of strategies to piece together to help bring in savings in 2012.
As Norm Lillis, vice president of systems solutions at CDW, explained, "Like any other aspect of IT, energy efficiency in the data center is a multi-layer stack of solutions working together, and all available solutions deserve consideration. The combination that makes the most sense will vary with the unique environment in a data center."
Of special note in this report is the increased interest in cloud computing as a tool for energy savings. Called a "game changer" for energy efficient IT, 62% of survey respondents reported that the cloud is an important tool for savings, up from just 47% in 2010.
"While cloud computing is a market basket of discrete technologies and services," said Lillis, "it is entirely about IT efficiency, and as a strategy, it can deliver significant energy savings that will complement other solutions within the data center."

Clearwater offers shredding event to residents Saturday
CLEARWATER, Fla. (970 WFLA) - The Clearwater Police Department and the city's Solid Waste Department are teaming up to offer Clearwater residents a chance to shred personal paperwork.
The May 17 event at Westfield Countryside Mall is designed to cut down on the risk of identity theft for Clearwater citizens. Instead of putting their important documents in the trash or storing them at home, residents can bring them to the mall where they will be shredded on site by Proshred.
The event will run from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the northeast parking lot of the mall, nearest L.A. Fitness. The entrance for the line will be off southbound Countryside Boulevard south of State Road 580.
The service is for Clearwater residents who have just a small number of boxes, not for businesses who are wanting to purge their records.

Remembering the War on Poverty
(Cleveland) - A rally was held today at Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry on Superior Avenue, to mark the 50th anniversary of President Johnson's declaration of the War on Poverty.
The rally was co-sponsored United Clevelanders Against Poverty, Organize! Ohio, Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry, Northeast Ohio Coalition for the Homeless, and Cleveland Jobs With Justice.
Larry Bresler of Organize Ohio blames the Reagan Administration with ending the War on Poverty and of dismantling programs that were helping the poor. He's calling on the President and Congress to renew the fight to realize Johnson's goal of lifting most Americans out of poverty.
Bresler says unlike 50 years ago, most of today's poor actually have jobs, but do not earn enought money to support themselves and their families. He would like to see the minimum wage raised, food stamp aid increased, and more funding for education.
Bishop Tony Minor of Lutheran Metropolitan Ministry says he would like to see more help for small businesses and improvements to public education as a way to give poor people better access to job opportunities.
Cleveland economist George Zeller blames federal budget cuts for prolonging the recession. He claims even grade school children know that public spending should be increase when the economy is sagging.
Following President Johnson's 1964 State of the Union address declaring a War on Poverty, many programs were created, among which included Medicaid, Medicare, Head Start, Fair Housing Act, Community Action Program, Legal Aid, and made Food Stamps a permanent program.

When we hear a story for the first time, I think we all try to predict the ending. Sometimes we're spot on, and sometimes we are way off. The "twist" reveals as much about what we thought would happen as it does about the story we are hearing: sometimes a "twist" is so unexpected and out of the blue that it ruins what felt like a coherent story. Other times, like in Fight Club, the story is appreciated far more the second time through, with the twist revealed. The upending of our expectations is something we all sort of want, but some storytellers go too far.
One film that managed to avoid this problem was Pacific Rim, which is probably the most straight-forward film of the past few years. The trailers promised you giant robots fighting against giant monsters, and the film delivered exactly that. The story may have felt somehow less "interesting", simply because there wasn't really a twist. There was danger and a progression of that danger, but there wasn't a sudden reveal that maybe we were actually the problems all along, or something of that nature (maybe the kaiju were actually our deep-seated fears, and the whole thing happened in our minds, or some other inane twist). But twists for the sake of twists are hardly worth examining.
Last year there were quite a few games that were (rightly) praised highly: The Stanley Parable, The Last of Us, and Bioshock: Infinite come to mind. The first I've already written about, but the game functions as an exploration of our expectations, as a way to take what we think a game is and, well, upend it. The latter two, however, don't really step outside of the way a game is put together. They're both linear, and you follow the story regardless of the decisions you make (Bioshock: Infinite has a few choices, but are not nearly as significant as the choices in Mass Effect, for instance). In fact, in a time where choice is becoming a near requirement for games, I appreciated both of these games for just letting me play the story that the games had to tell.
Spoiler warning for both The Last of Us and Bioshock: Infinite.
The ending for The Last of Us is one that I hated. I know many thought this was the best game of the last year, and in many ways they are right. The game is mechanically impressive, providing a depth and terror to the combat that many games lack. I felt real emotions for the characters, akin to some of my favorite books. There were, in fact, quite a few moments where I was emotionally flustered but had to act; a character just died, for instance, but I needed to shoot my way out of whatever situation I was in.
At the end of the game, the protagonist (who you have spent the majority of the game playing) lies to save the girl he now thinks of as his daughter. The daughter might be the only way to save the world from the terrible disease that has infected so many, but she would need to be killed to do so (she wouldn't survive the operation required). In a terrifying last scene, you break into the room and save her from the surgery, only to whisk her away unconscious. When she awakens, she asks where you are, and you explain (falsely) that there are others just like her, that she isn't unique, and that the world will eventually be saved anyway.
At this point I was upset with the protagonist, but could live with it. This girl had seen through lies before; it takes someone fairly smart and quick to survive as long as she has. But the finale of the game is a bit more harrowing: she forces the protagonist to look her in the eye and promise that he's telling the truth. He does it, and she is satisfied. The end.
The frustration that I'd embodied this man who was not only unwilling to make the sacrifice to save the world (which is understandable, considering the cost), but he couldn't even tell the truth to this young girl who thinks of him as father was almost unbearable. I had to rethink the entire game, and every development that the protagonist made felt empty in light of this moral failure. It felt as though the conversations I'd sought to have with the young girl were all to build trust, only to have that ripped away.
And maybe the story wanted to teach me that people are evil. But I already knew that, and didn't feel better for the new "realization."
Bioshock: Infinite was far more philosophical in nature, in regards to the twist. With jumps between various parallel universes throughout, the twist in that game ended up faring far better. The reveal that Booker (the protagonist) is also Comstock (the villain) works well, primarily because the protagonist reacts the same way that we do: Booker is angry and distraught, and immediately seeks to make sure that this isn't going to be the case for him. The game even ends with Booker drowning his alternate selves (who chose baptism into a new name, Comstock), simply to remove the universes of his own evil. That's a far cry from someone consciously lying to their child about perhaps the most important truth in their world.
Both of these games were heralded partially for their gameplay, but also for their unique stories. The twists made them, in a sense, memorable. I'll likely not forget either of them, and would be interested in replaying both in a couple of years when the intricacies of the stories aren't so fresh.
The breaking of expectations can go either way: sometimes we herald the story as ground-breaking and beautiful, while other times we decry the absurdity of the change to the story we've been told all along.
Even earlier this week with How I Met Your Mother's finale we saw the way people reacted to broken expectations. Some were frustrated, and some felt the show had a great conclusion.
Spoiler alert for How I Met Your Mother.
My friend Sarah Parro nailed many aspects of the conclusion, but one bit in particular is worth repeating:
[…] the finale does not change the overarching messages of the entire show, as much as it may attempt to. With the shift of focus back to Ted and Robin and the kids' sharp insight into Ted's underlying feelings for Robin, the driving narrative of being with "the one" still holds up amidst the rushed and stunning events of the final episode.
The end of the show was somewhat predictable (I knew that the titular Mother would die, for instance), and somewhat painfully consistent. The show was always about Ted and Robin, even when it wasn't. The show always had Marshall and Lily together, even when they broke up for awhile. The show never had Barney settling down (which makes his new-found love for his daughter a little hard to swallow, considering what else he goes through in the show). The one question that is left unanswered is whether or not Ted and Robin will work this time; they've both tried this before, after all, more than once. But maybe now that Ted had his children and Robin had her career they can finally settle down with each other. The show really was about meeting the Step-Mother, not the Mother.
So did HIMYM break expectations? Sure, in some ways. I didn't expect the show to end at all (I kid, I kid). For the most part, the show landed precisely where it always fell: the Universe wants you to be with the One, and you will be with the One, unless you screw it up somehow (but even then, you'll probably end up with the One).
Twists are valuable, of course, but only insofar as they are twists that we can swallow. If I were to re-watch HIMYM, I should see, from the start, that Robin and Ted were meant for each other (for the record, Barney and Robin were a far more endearing couple; they both started at a similar place and grew together, which has quite a bit of merit in its own right). But I suspect I'd see the same convoluted story of on-and-off again romances that we felt the first time: only now we'd chime in with Ted's kids that no, someone other than Robin isn't right for you anymore.
I don't mind twists. I think some twists are fundamental to good stories. But some stories can be told well without them, and HIMYM might have been more honest if it hadn't attempted to include lots of twists at the end, no matter how expected.
Perhaps if the ending to HIMYM was something like this, we'd all feel that it was too generic and familiar (or, dare I say it, happy). Perhaps if The Last of Us had ended in sacrifice, we'd all have been bored to tears by the now-played-out sacrificial father role. And perhaps if Bioshock: Infinite had just forced us to kill Comstock, instead of realizing that we were him, it would have been forgotten as a game with above-average gameplay and writing that neglected to do anything new in the genre. I might have preferred that ending to the first two, even if I would likely have forgotten the last soon after finishing it. But sometimes I'd like a happy ending that doesn't skirt my expectations, except the expectation that the ending will be happy.

Inno Setup 5.3.5
What Is the FileHippo Safety Guarantee?
We know how important it is to stay safe online so FileHippo is using virus scanning technology provided by Avira to help ensure that all downloads on FileHippo are safe. The program you are about to download is safe to be installed on your device.
* Windows 7 changes:
o Setup, Uninstall and custom TOutputProgressWizardPage pages now make use of the new Windows 7 taskbar functionality to display progress, pause and error indicators on their taskbar buttons.
o Added new [Icons] section parameter: AppUserModelID. Specifies the Windows 7 Application User Model ID for the shortcut. Ignored on earlier Windows versions and on server versions. This parameter can include constants.
* Windows 7 and Vista changes:
o Setup, Uninstall and custom TOutputProgressWizardPage pages now display pause and error indicators on their progress bars.
o Setup and Uninstall now call the Windows API function ShutdownBlockReasonCreate to set the shutdown block reason string to be displayed to the user if system shutdown is initiated. Note: this change is purely cosmetic, the fact that Setup and Uninstall block system shutdown is not new.
* Pascal Scripting changes:
o TWinControl: Added new ParentBackground property. By setting this to False, you can ensure the background of a TPanel will always display the color assigned to its Color property, instead of it becoming transparent under certain conditions. See the CodeClasses.iss example script for an example.
* The Unicode compiler now behaves identical to the Non Unicode compiler if a language uses more than one .isl file (it no longer requires the LanguageCodePage to be set in each file), or if a languages LanguageCodePage is overwritten from the .iss file (it no longer ignores this), or if any language specific plain text ANSI LicenseFile, InfoBeforeFile, or InfoAfterFile is used (it now converts these to Unicode using the languages LanguageCodePage at compile-time, instead of using the system codepage at run-time).
* Fix: Pascal scripting: passing a Unicode string to some built-in functions like Copy caused the string to be converted to ANSI.
* The uninstall program's version is now 51.(10)50.0.0.
* Minor tweaks.

I watch football here and there but I only watch it when I can't surf. I just don't understand people where everything revolves around watching the game on Sunday. They think these players really care about them. They don't give a crap about you and don't even know who you are. Go buy a brady jersey and make worship him like a God. Then, go watch TMZ with all the other idol worshippers.

Original Message
Dear forum members,
I received an e-mail which purports to be from a young man of offworlder origin. I have my doubts, although every time I read it, I find parts of it very convincing, and can detect no obvious telltale indications of it being a hoax. In all probability though, based on the history of such things, it is an exercise in fiction.
I can only swear that I did not write this, and that I have nary a clue as to its author. I have had this for almost 24 hours and have gone back and forth as to what to do with it. My decision at the end is to post it as requested, but with a serious caveat: Reader Beware. Just because it sounds like it could be true is not proof in itself. It just haunts me to think that I might block an actual communication from an alien, with important info in it.
This is most of the text. For the purpose of brevity (I was a professional editor) I have pulled some seemingly less-important paragraphs out. These are more of a personal nature by the kid – or whoever the heck it is – as well as some stuff about Enki, Enlil and that gang, but I can post that material at a later date. I of course did no textual editing, and did not excise any sentences from their original paragraphs.
Here is all of his note to me, followed by the bulk of his e-mail.
Dear M.,
You do not personally know me, but please have regard for what I am sending you, as it is all true, to my best ability to decipher. My name is Had and I am of the planet Abra, the world some of you think is called Nibiru. My forefathers were the ancient gods, or ancient astronauts of your lore. I am 12 years old, and have spent most of my life here, but soon I'll be sent back to Abra. I am very angry and upset about what my people have done here, and what they plan to do in the near future. Please send my transmission to as many website forums as you think appropriate. This is not a joke. The people like you need to know the truth, whether or not it will change anything, which I frankly think it won't, but maybe some of you can prepare better if you know the actual facts.
I am sending this from my father's computer, but without his knowledge, as I am being punished, and have been stripped of my laptop. I'm hoping my father won't notice something in his sent box, but if I register on any boards, I know they will send an email confirmation notice.
A solid half of the people on those UFO/Forbidden History boards I consider to be 'holes, people with half a notion and too much attitude, who compensate their ignorance with bravado and disdain. (But, I'll admit, with some entertainment quality, like watching South Park.) But there are also so many who strive hard to understand reality in a (cruelly and deliberately) confusing world. My heart aches for them and their hopes for knowledge and wisdom.
Give Care,
I wish Greetings to all among you. I am Had from the planet Abra. Many of you refer to my world as Nibiru, or in the Sumerian records as Heaven, but if I have time I will explain what the facts are in that regard.
We are a people who come from a planet in a solar system which partially overlaps yours, as our suns constitute a binary system. Due to a cosmic collision in ancient times, the same primordial matter seeded on our world was seeded on yours. Ours developed faster, and we came to you about 450,000 years ago, building a colony, and later grafting our genes with those of primitives. (Much of that history can be read in the work of Zecharia Sitchin, whose work I can state authoritatively is somewhat more than 50% accurate.) In the annals of modern Ufology, we are often called "Nordics" or "Tall Blondes." There are several thousand of us mixed in with the population, some in high positions of responsibility..
My father is stationed here as a soldier/operative, whose job includes mixing in with humans. For the record, my father was the so-called Nordic who calmed Travis Walton down after he bolted from the exam room. I also have mixed in. I am of the age 12 and-a-half, and attended a human school for two years.
I am at this moment typing on a computer in my father's (he thought) impregnable office. He is on an assignment but I noticed where he stuck the key. I am sending this email to someone my father has a file on, so I know that this person is on many UFO/Forbidden History boards. In the short time I have while he is away, I plan on revealing heretofore secret (to most humans) information. What I am doing is a serious transgression, but I am already under punishment, and scheduled to be sent back to Abra in a few days, a story I may get to in a bit. My father is very upset because he has to leave his job here to take me back, and may not return for "The Events." You should know in front that I, like a sizeable minority on Abra, have sympathy for you, and object to what has occurred here, and will occur.
Now that I'm about to jump into this pool, I find myself shying from the ledge. But we have a saying on my world which translates as "The river of truth is filled by tears." (Yes, such a happy people are we.) My sense of these forums is that they are populated by sincere seekers of the truth, most of whom just want to know what's what, and who have the courage to face anything. Well, hang on dear searchers, here comes a big dose of "anything."
In the next several years, culminating in 2012, there will be a series of cataclysmic events, mostly of a "natural" sort, but some of those not natural but rather designed or intensified by my planet's people, working with some other races. (I will refer to them as "The Combine.") The horrific agenda is quite full, and starts with a devastating fly-by of a large planetary body which causes severe earthquake and supervolcano eruptions (primary: Yellowstone) as well as two CMEs (Coronal Mass Ejections) which fry the respective hemispheres. Let me explain that the sun will then be at solar maximum anyway, and further agitated by the cosmic particles in this space zone. So the sun will be incited into unprecedented solar ejections by the passing of this planet, but the Combine ships plan to engineer the timing of the CMEs to affect, strategically, both hemispheres..
Then, proceeding in an order not entirely clear to me, there will occur a magnetic pole shift and a flood nearly as big as the biblical one, caused by the ice cap sliding into the ocean. At some point during all of this, there will be a large asteroid impact into the sea (this is Toutatis, and it has been "aimed") which causes a massive tsunami. Oh, and at some point Earth will probably stop spinning for a few days. The end result, in terms of victims, is that all will be killed except around 100 million of you. I've heard my father refer to these as the "pesky little rats."
My only recommendations to you for survival is to get as high as you can and still be near a fresh water source. Cover the roof of your dwelling with lead or a few coats of lead-containing paint. It's best if you burrow down, because there will be extreme solar radiation and the atmosphere mightl become stripped temporarily.
It has long been known that their would be a confluence of astronomic, solar and geologic cycles occurring between 2010 and 2012 which would endanger everything on your world. What my people have done, bottom brutal line, is make business deals to enrich themselves at your expense, taking advantage of the tragedy you will soon be overwhelmed by.
If you have a weak stomach or heart, you best desist from reading the next few paragraphs.
Under the guise of helping the survivors and removing the dead bodies (which will need to be removed for disease prevention) The Collective will freeze-dry these corpses, along with as much livestock (deadstock) as they can gather up, and sell them as food to certain races with whom they have contracted with. Haven't you ever wondered why the religions, especially in the West, inveigh against birth control and abortion when that obviously is bad social policy? Or why the insane mass peddling of beef has multiplied exponentially, with the proliferation of cows now totaling in the billions, when that means very poor land usage and unhealthy diet? And most people seemingly competing in a weight-gain contest? Haven't you ever wondered why it seemed like the sudden "obesity epidemic" resembled the fattening of a herd? Do you understand now the reasons for secrecy? (What part of this could the human Powers-That-Be share with the masses?)
There will be a great deception perpetrated against the elite with whom certain deals were struck. In exchange for their cooperation (their traitorous betrayal of you) many things have been promised to them. They are under the mistaken impression that they will be the rulers of a unified world of 500-600 million surviving humans, and that the planet will be shared (as co-equals) with 250 million or so aliens, mostly Abrans and human/gray hybrids. They have been assured that certain areas will be spared, and that underground enclaves of certain specifications will be immune. But many of these bunkers will become tombs, because the persons my father works for despise this class of humans – so arrogant and obnoxious are they. (One of them lives at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, although he is more like a puppet. Cheney is much deeper involved.)
What will be left after the cataclysmic events will be more like 50-150 million human survivors, and half of them will be taken off-planet to serve as workers on ships and factories and mining colonies. Or, in the case of the more attractive females, sexual servitude. Some of these folks will think that they are being "raptured." This is an endless source of amusement to my dad and his friends.
But some will be purposely saved. There's a long list of people (and various artifacts) which is being compiled for evacuation purposes. Most celebrities will be happy to hear that they are on the list; some may not be pleased with their new jobs. Many many artists are on the list, and a sizeable number of those who have shown themselves to be avid about Ufology and sci-fi. Also I have noted a lot of tech people on the save list, and I've heard father talk about retraining classes for good engineers. The smallest numbers will be from the ranks of the politicians, lawyers, bankers, business executives, etc. The words of the Great One will be made true: "It is more likely for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than a rich man to enter Heaven." My father does a lot of his work in this field, and recommends people for implants, which are basically just transceivers – locaters, but with communication capabilities.
The humans who remain will not be self-governing; they will be subject to edicts by The Combine. The survivors will be sorted by skills and assigned appropriate jobs, but a high percentage will be hard-labor jobs, like mining and construction. Most of the females (the ones who evade the sex servitude) will be enjoined to housekeeping companies. Some females will just be given the role of procreator/mother (to create new workers, trained from birth).
After this period of devastation has passed sufficiently, there will be several alien races moving onto this planet. One of them already has a large contingent here, domiciled in underground and underwater encampments. These races have been deeded specific areas, depending on their preferences, and have paid high prices, owing to the fact that this is a quite beautiful world with very rich natural resources. There will also be a very large Abran group. All together, from what I know, about 400 million. This is owing to environmental problems back home, which may culminate in all of us (2 billion total) being forced to relocate in the future. The Abran arrivals will live in Mesopotamia, all of Africa and a portion of India.
Half the reason for the anger of those like me against Enlil's Earth policy is the unconscionable carnage which will be inflicted. But the other half is the leaders' attitude, from smug talk of a "necessary pruning" of a race wrongly and hastily created, to triumphal proclamations of victorious political and economic policies, policies which are resulting in a huge influx into the planet's treasury, as well as alliances with certain races which have been previously problematic to us. (But other races, more advanced races, are at displeasure with Abra now because of these evil decisions.) So, to them, it's not a matter of ruthless colonialism or heartless exploitation, it's a smart move, a big payday, an expansion of our planetary relations. Disgusting!!
I realize that it is not easy for you to resist judging my planet's people based on what the leaders and princes and princesses have conducted while here. I do not blame you for any resentments you may have, as they are deserved. But most people on my world are more ethical and conscientious than those you have been subjected to. The same analogy is of course true regarding the behavior of leaders on this world. They don't always reflect the best of the people they are born from; they are more avaricious, arrogant and driven. As your saying goes, absolute power corrupts absolutely. You need only study the history of kings on Earth to know how this is true. So in my strange way I am at the same time asking for forgiveness and ceding that it is not really deserved.
I may not be able to send anything else, but please feel free to comment and ask questions on the forums, and if I can gain access to my father's computer again, or if I'm allowed any friends to visit before I leave, I will try to use their puters to read and respond. Also, the possibility exists that a compatriot of mine, also the son of a soldier, may be able to channel through my responses in a future time. (Or himself rise to the task of being the truthteller to humans, although I know him to be somewhat timorous.) At the least, I should be able to find a computer or ally on the ship back home, and send something to my friends and/or the present source. They will try to intercept these contacts, but, just as is here true, the young have primacy in the tech-zone, and some of us know how to stay one step ahead of the older ones.
While I still have time, I want to mention a few things about the secret societies. They were originally s

Brewer to Appeal Inflation Boost to Schools Ruling
PHOENIX (AP) — Gov. Jan Brewer says a judge's ruling requiring Arizona to pay an inflation boost to schools will be appealed.
The judge's July 11 ruling said schools are entitled to at least $317 million in additional funding for inflation this year and set the stage for proceedings that could boost the total to $2.9 billion over five years.
Brewer said Thursday that the ruling would devastate the state's budget and services such as public safety.
The actual decision to appeal will be made by the attorney general and legislative lawyers.
The ruling follows a state Supreme Court decision last year that said the Legislature disobeyed a voter mandate for annual school funding inflation adjustments.
Lawmakers dramatically reduced inflation adjustments in reaction to the Great Recession's hit on state revenue.

Facial recognition technology making it impossible to be truly anonymous
The odds are you are not just a face in the crowd any longer. Even if your picture isn't plastered all over social networking and photo-sharing sites, facial recognition technology in public places is making it harder if not impossible to remain anonymous. Lesley Stahl reports on the new ways this technology is being used that even has one of its inventors calling it too intrusive. Her 60 Minutes report will be broadcast Sunday, May 19 at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

I have finally decided to throw away my old paper dictionaries, after reading Tae Kim's Blog post from August 22nd. I'm considering to buy a very good electrical dictionary like the Casio XD-GP9700 for around 300 EURO (~ $430). Now, I'm not looking for advice on which 電子辞書 to buy, but I'm thinking I could buy a new 16G ipod touch for that money. There are a few J-E dictionaries on the itunes app store (some using JDic and having over 150k entries) and you have the internet, where you can find loads of other finde dictionaries.
So, here comes the question: In your opinion, is it better to buy a good 電子辞書 or an ipod touch / iphone? Maybe we could make this a collection of pros and cons. Thanks to everyone in advance.
i'd go with a second hand preloaded pocketpc. one with kojien/daijirin/daijisen and eijiro. J-E i use saito's.
you might like to check this out (not mine, can't vouch for it neither):
Last edited by mmgoose (2008-09-23 08:04:56)
There aren't any really decent japanese dictionaries for iPhone. There's JDict, which is a frontend to edict -- and while edict isn't too shabby, a more comprehensive dictionary to the likes of Kenkyusha Wa-Ei or Daijirin/Daijisen is a must.
Which you can get from dic.yahoo.co.jp
And if you're paying monthly for 3G anyway, makes sense to me.
The iPod touch is debatable since you'll need Wifi.
Does the app have handwriting recognition? Most new electronic dictionaries have some form of writing with stylus now.
-Tae Kim
So, if I sum up the answers up until now, nobody would advise to buy a ipod touch. I guess I'll buy that sweet 電子辞書 then. Thanks to everyone who answered.
Maybe it's just me, but the electronic dictionaries also have the cool factor going for them too. XDDDDDDDDDDDD
Currently studying abroad in Korea and having a blast!
Definitely not an iPod touch, right. I haven't thought much about online dictionaries (mine is 2G, and sometimes I don't have the patience to browse using crappy 2G connection), but taekk has a point -- factoring in dic.yahoo.co.jp the iPhone might work as a fairly decent online dictionary. No handwriting recognition, however[1].
[1] Funny enough, the iPhone has handwriting recognition for Chinese, and you might even use that to input Japanese. But it won't recognize kana or kokugo kanji, and it's kinda slow, even with 2.1 firmware.
I just bought a Casio XD-SP6700, and am very happy with it. The main benefit in 電子辞書s is that you can add lots of specialized dictionaries, if you were to need very specific jargon for some field. For online dictionaries, obviously you cannot add anything. For the Apple gizmos you probably can add whatever, if you find it, that is, if it exists (I'm pretty sure that very specialized dictionaries do not). I just ordered a Science dictionary for my Casio 電子辞書, and hope I find the condensed matter physics jargon I need...
haha, i was actually thinking about getting an itouch too for an electronic dictionary replacement, but it seems like that's not the best idea.
i know that there's been some posts about electronic dictionaries, but most of them are from like 2006. so i want to get some advice on which electronic dictionary i should get and some comparisons. i'm currently living in japan so maybe that's a good thing since i'll have easier access to electronics so it seems. my requirements are as follows:
price: around 20,000 yen ($200) max
dictionaries: J <-> E, kanji (readings and examples), J<->Chinese (would be nice but definitely not necessary)
battery life: good (ie. a set of batteries lasting a 3 or 4 months with daily use)
misc: games, encyclopedia, etc don't care about those; stylus handwriting recognition preferred; colour display doesn't matter so much
these may be a bit demanding for wanting to pay so little, but maybe just maybe there's some good elec dicts out there now that has what i want. or rather, some old models that would satisfy my needs and has gone through price deductions. any advice would be welcomed, as well as where i could get it, preferably stores.... thanks!
battery life: use rechargeables, you won't regret it (still last a few months )
Since you're living in Japan, go the the shops (電気屋, bookstores (the Kinokuniya in Cocoon in さいたま新都心 has a good collection), etc) and play with the dictionaries on display.
If I get a new dictionary, I'll still want it to have 明鏡 (国語辞典): it's very good for people learning Japanese. 広辞苑 is good, especially for the more esoteric words, but it's more difficult to read.
Having a 古語辞典 can come in handy sometimes, and a 漢字辞典 is extremely useful.
However, probably the most critical feature an electronic dictionary can have is "jump". Being able to look up words you encounter while looking up another word makes it possible to use the 国語辞典 even if your vocabulary is terrible. Make sure you can position the cursor on any character (minus the special symbols) in the main entries.
You might be looking at up to 3万円, but I think that's a more expensive model. I'm pretty sure I've seen some for less than 2万円. (I paid $250aud for mine: best money I spent on my Japanese studies)
Leave others their otherness. -- Aratak
There is no can't. -- Duun
I believe the App Store now carries the Kenkyusha dictionaries for about $30 and there are plenty of new kanji dictionaries that allow you to input kanji using your fingers. Have any people here reconsidered the iPod touch or iPhone as a 電子辞書?
Here's a link to the app at the iTunes Store
Has anyone downloaded the 研究社 app? Is it any good? Does it have hand-writing recognition? For $30, it would be worth it, but I can't find any reviews since it seems to have just come out.
Found this site that summarizes the different ipod/iphone dictionaries out there right now. Thought it might be useful.
do you have the directions for use of "casino XD-sp6700" in English?I have just bought one, but I cannot understand its introductions for use in japanese.
help me? thanks alots!!!!
You can also find lots of cool little homebrew applications and official games for the Nintendo DS that can help in various ways with learning Japanese, if you have a DS (and if you don't, why not?? GET ONE!)
I loved Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-Kun (series?) in helping me a lot with the actual handwriting in correct stroke-order. Check out its demonstration in that YouTube link!

Hey, I checked out the ipod touch and there's plenty of sweet dictionaries available. Cheap as hell too. I suppose if you need something specialized there's better ways to go but if you want a jisho as good as the average paperback, ipod touch is pretty good and there's so manyother things you can do with it.
Posted this on another forum and thought it might come in handy here:
I just got an iphone recently and have been trying to set it up to replace my seiko electronic dictionary.
So far everything's going really well.
It may in fact be my ideal dictionary, especially considering it's entirely customizable & updates will be forthcoming (not to mention usually free).
Might as well describe how I got to where I'm at.
First thing's first, I had to set it up to allow proper input.
Settings -> General -> International -> Keyboards
for Japanese, I added QWERTY and Kana
in order to support handwriting recognition, i went down to Traditional Chinese and turned on Handwriting.
The first dictionary I wanted was 研究者's green goddess dictionary, but the basic app is $30, with follow ups at $84 and $30, for a total of over $140; so I decided to ditch that idea.
Instead, I went with iEijiro - cheaper at 8.99, with more entries. It's a little weird though as it seems to be a dictionary of sample sentences not a dictionary of words with samples in the definition.
I also added EDict/wwwjdic-based dictionaries:
Japanese, Kotoba!, JDict, WWWJDic
This was total overkill, but each program has some benefits.
Japanese - large kanji list, JLPT study guide, subject matter based look up, vocab lists (all offline), the most expensive one I bought at 15.99 but came highly recommended; should've used it more before buying anything else from this list (didn't realize it was an EDict clone).
Kotoba! - tabs for Dictionary, Examples (certified & others), and word lists (all offline)... oh and did i mention it's free!
JDict - just a straight up search window with similar options to the wwwjdic site, but all offline, though probably a waste of 4.99 at this point.
wwwjdic - this one's basically just an iphone optimized mirror of the normal website, but it requires an internet so it can go slow. at least it's free though.
Next I looked into ALC, because i use their site for sample sentences all the time.
They have 3 iphone apps available, but they're all in the Ultimate English Listening series (究極の英語リスニング) and they're all around $12 apiece.
Instead, I just created a bookmark in Safari to the http://www.alc.co.jp website for those times I need some more sample sentences for a word.
One of the devices I'm hoping to replace with my iPhone is my Nintendo DS. On my DS I've gotten the most play out of Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun, the game that helps Japanese elementary school kids practice their kanji. Luckily I found iKanji Touch from ThinkMac. This game is like Tadashii Kanji Kakitori-kun, but better in that I don't have to run to another source for English definitions. It also has the added benefit of being broken up not only by Japanese Elementary School grade level, but by JLPT level as well. It has tests for stroke order, combinations, and meaning - everything I love about the DS game. I got it for $8 on sale. Kanji Pop is another one that looks good.
Not sure if any of you use iKnow and smart.fm lists, but there's an iKnow app for the iphone. Now you can download all your Japanese vocabulary lists to your phone and go through flash cards at your leisure. Spaced repetition helps with memorization. It's also been on sale for $0.99 for the holidays.
Lastly, I picked up some phrase lists, just for the heck of it. J Phrases and Idioms. They're nice because they have a lot of functionality like quizzes and reviewing options. Probably should've gotten Kotowaza instead of the Beginning Phrases one, but at least I'm supporting the site.
If anybody else has any (preferably free) suggestions for improvement, I'd be more than happy to hear them.
Still not exactly sure how it stacks up against my old Seiko, but so far so good, haven't noticed any gaps yet.
Also not sure yet whether it's worth it to invest the money in Kenkyusha; again, so far so good, I may lay down the cash if I find the current resources lacking.

So, here comes the question: In your opinion, is it better to buy a good 電子辞書 or an ipod touch / iphone? Maybe we could make this a collection of pros and cons. Thanks to everyone in advance.
Ok, first of all, I have a lot of respect for JDIC, but it is not a replacement for a good Japanese to English dictionary. There are a lot of reasons for this, but one reason is that it includes quite a lot of obscure words, and doesn't mention well which are which. Search for something like "Action" and you will get 400 results, but with no real idea of which to use - and as a result may end up writing very strange things. On the other hand, the computing dictionary in JDIC is truly useful, and many of the example sentences are nice. Another note is that all of the JDIC dictionaries I have seen for the iPod/iPhone are on-line. that means they don't actually download the dictionary file, but just access the web site. This makes them slow, unreliable, and most importantly, they don't work in offline mode.
There are, however, now some good Japanese-English dictionaries available for the iPod touch, that do work in offline mode:
1. Genius - about 2500 yen
2. Wisdom - about 4000 yen
There are also Japanese - Japanese dictionaries available, one with a very flashy interface.
I like kodansha the best, but it doesn't seem they have an iPod version yet.
I had one of the more fancy electronic dictionaries from Sharp, with Kanji handwriting recognition, and even a 1seg TV function, but I actually sold it today, because I rarely use it anymore. I translate quite a lot of documents at work, but usually I can use JDIC and other dictionaries online, and I use Wisdom on my iPod a lot.
One nice thing about the dedicated electronic dictionaries is that they can search multiple dictionaries at once. With the iPhone one, you have to launch the one you want and then search only that one.
Last time I checked the Genius dictionary was bundled with Kenkyuusha (the green goddess) and was available for at least $100.
There were 2 different titles with the same exact bundle, one emphasizing Genius, one emphasizing Kenkyuusha, both costing the same amount.
If either has gotten cheaper, I'll definitely look into that.
I miss having the sample sentences from the green goddess, though I could probably do without Genius - in my experience, it's done less for me than JDic.
By the way, not all of the EDic/JDic/JMDict dictionaries are online.
In particular Japanese, Kotoba!, and JDict.
The only one that i have that relies on internet is the wwwJDic front end.
Also, JDict and Kotoba! have options to narrow the search to only commonly used words.
I also mentioned in my post iEijiro; which I currently use when JDic fails me.
To quote it's website:
"There are 1,670,000 English-Japanese entries, 1,950,000 Japanese-English entries, 120,000 example sentences and 30,000 abbreviation entries."
That's an order of magnitude higher than the Genius dictionary.

HI!! I have a casio too and they all pretty much work the same, they just have different conent. I have been writing about things I find useful on my casio as I figure them out:
If you find anything useful please post about it. I can't really read them either but I review my instructions about once a month and sometimes things click. You can download the PDF version of your instructions from the casio website, but I haven't figured out how to copy and paste them into a translator.
Istuff VS E-Dict?
No contenst. The E-dict are just too efficient and specialized for learning Japanese. The speed of the work flow is really not accessible to any Istuff yet, with or without fast internet. I can jump from a kanji dictionary, stroke order, example compounds, history of a kanji, word definitions, search all the dictinoaries at once, read columns and books while checking the reading of unkown kanji as I go, open up two dictionaries at once, listen to pronunciation, highlight grammar and keep it saved in it`s own file for review, make and save flashcards that link to their origin dictionary page, hand written recognition that allows for quite a bit of error...
My friend just bought a casio for $200 at Yamada denki. Last year models are on sale if you can find one.

May 29, 6:05 PM Vancouver UFO Examiner Jon Kelly
Dennis Hopper, who both directed and starred in the 1969 classic film Easy Rider, died today at the age of 74. When studied through a mirror filter, Easy Rider reveals a secret message describing an "ion whirlwind" as a causal factor behind a UFO power-up event that takes place early in the film.
In the most positive sense, the UFO power-up in the film Easy Rider is unconsciously portrayed through a secret message delivered by Jack Nicholson as the mystical advent of clairvoyance and the birth of philosophy marking the opening of the eye of intuition located behind the forehead leading to technological discovery and insight as the basis for the restoration of cosmic law harmonizing human society in an era of peace and abundance for all.
Within this constructive context, the mystical/technological whirlwind serves as an icon of advances in self-knowledge and social progress freely given to humanity as participants in a universal society. This interpretation rejects the alternative implications of interpretation via the Bible's Book of Revelation suggesting a neo-fascist new world order governed by free-energy propulsion monopolized for the benefit of an elite minority.
I just saw a UFO, man
During one of the scenes, three of the film's characters, including Billy (played by Dennis Hopper), Captain America (played by Peter Fonda) and ACLU Laywer George Hanson (played by Jack Nicholson) are seated around a campfire when Billy tells the others that he just saw a UFO.
Billy's description of the UFO sighting characterizes the event in terms of what contemporary field observers call a UFO power-up. In the film's dialogue he states, "I saw a satellite, man. And it was going across the sky. And it flashed three times at me and zigzagged and whizzed off, man. And I saw it."
To which George replies:
"That was a UFO, beamin' back at ya. Me and Eric Heisman was down in Mexico two weeks ago - we seen forty of 'em flying in formation. They-they-they've got bases all over the world now, you know. They've been coming here ever since nineteen forty-six - when the scientists first started bouncin' radar beams off of the moon. And they have been livin' and workin' among us in vast quantities ever since. The government knows all about 'em."
In spite of Billy's protests to the contrary, George continues:
"Well, they are people, just like us - from within our own solar system. Except that their society is more highly evolved. I mean, they don't have no wars, they got no monetary system, they don't have any leaders, because, I mean, each man is a leader. I mean, each man - because of their technology, they are able to feed, clothe, house, and transport themselves equally - and with no effort...Why don't they reveal themselves to us is because if they did it would cause a general panic. Now, I mean, we still have leaders upon whom we rely for the release of this information. These leaders have decided to repress this information because of the tremendous shock that it would cause to our antiquated systems. Now, the result of this has been that the Venutians have contacted people in all walks of life - all walks of life. [laughs] Yes. It-it-it would be a devastatin' blow to our antiquated systems - so now the Venutians are meeting with people in all walks of life - in an advisory capacity. For once man will have a god-like control over his own destiny. He will have a chance to transcend and to evolve with some equality for all."
The Secret Message
A secret message lies encrypted within the audio track recording of Jack Nicholson's voice from the film. Nicholson's unconscious mind uses the UFO power-up scene in Easy Rider to share insight into the nature of an on-board propulsion mechanism responsible for the vision described by Dennis Hopper's character. This communication is involuntary on Nicholson's part. It is more akin to Freudian slips, sleep talking and body language than a conscious attempt at disclosure.
Civilian communications researchers have noted for decades that when the audio signal from human speech is monitored through a mirror filter, the reversed signal reveals secret unconscious communications describing facts that can be vetted by both the speaker and independent observers.
Britain's Royal Society is the national academy of science for both the UK and the British Commonwealth. In an article for The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, author Brian Moore states how, "It is remarkable that speech remains reasonably intelligible even under conditions of extreme distortion, such as ... time reversal of segments of speech (Saberi & Perrott 1999)".
Decoding the Message
The source audio used in this study includes the words, "They-they-they've got bases all over the world now, you know. They've been coming here ever since nineteen forty-six-when the scientists first started bouncin' radar beams off of the moon."
Reflection of the audio signal across a computer-generated coordinate graph reveals a secret message when the reflected audio is monitored in reverse:
"The mark. A new Babylon. The ion whirlwind." Click to hear audio.
Twisted Particle Jets and Black Holes
Science Daily tells us that "supermassive black holes expel powerful jets of particles at nearly the speed of light". The authors continue, stating "The leading theory says the particles are accelerated by tightly-twisted magnetic fields close to the black hole ..." and that "astronomers have watched material winding a corkscrew outward path ..."
In the analysis of the infrared video still frame accompanying this story, a twisted jet of material is seen exiting a portal in the side of a UFO's luminous body during the early phase of a power-up event. The jet could represent particles accelerated by powerful corkscrew magnetic fields surrounding the portal, just like the fields surrounding a black-hole-like dimensional stargate integrated into the UFO's propulsion system. These jets might ionize the atmosphere surrounding the UFO, creating the luminous coronal effect most often detected by the naked eye during power-up events.
Is this phenomena recorded on camera the "ion whirlwind" described in Nicholson's message, his unconscious response to Billy's claims that the UFO "flashed three times" during his sighting?
UFO Scene as Hollywood Disclosure
Jack Nicholson would go on to make numerous Hollywood films including the satirical digitally animated alien scarefest Mars Attacks. Mars Attacks follows in the tradition of the CIA's Robertson Panel-based debunking campaign using cinema is a medium of influence to foment ridicule amongst the public regarding civilian claims of UFO contact. The scene in Easy Rider gives a more considered perspective to this topic while demonstrating some of the strong emotions invoked during the detection and comprehension of UFO phenomena by human observers.
Did Jack Nicholson have the kind of celebrity access to UFO secrets in the 1960's that some people ascribe to Jackie Gleason? It is more likely that Nicholson himself had been witness to a UFO event sometime earlier in his life. It was his unconscious mind that accumulated and deciphered the visual signature of a particle jet leaving a twisted path as it exited the UFO in a power-up during the sighting.
This explanation relies heavily upon the role of unconscious perception of light in humans, Nicholson's ability to cognitively map his observation of the UFO jet with the scene in the movie (Nicholson would have had to time his unconscious delivery with the take that was finally used in the movie) and the film's use of a scene where the topic of UFO's is explored as an instrument of revolutionary culture injecting new life into film-making from this time period.
Hollywood Babylon
The mark. A new Babylon - This component of the message pairs the language of biblical Revelation with concepts describing UFO propulsion technology as visualized through video recordings made by contemporary field observers in both visible and infrared light.
The term "mark" is commonly used along with the word "number" in the term "number of the beast".
"Babylon" is an ancient site in modern Iraq as CNN explains:
""This ancient city on the banks of the Euphrates River is more than four thousand years old and was once the home of Nebuchadnezzar, who built the Hanging Gardens, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. ... "Even the casual tourist has some collective memory of a place like Babylon, when you talk about people like Nebuchadnezzar.""
From the perspective of yoga poetics, the third eye chakra behind the center of the forehead is the seat of intuition and visionary experience leading to higher energy and consciousness. The UFO power-up experience is the "mark" upon the mind's eye which inspires the vision of a new society based upon free energy demonstrated by UFO dimensional stargate propulsion used in the interest of all living beings, transforming this world into a paradise.
Dennis Hopper was nominated for a best-screenplay Oscar for his contribution to the 1969 film.

Librarians: Shushers or Superheroes?
April 27th, 2011
Do you have those days where you simply cringe to think about what may be in the headlines? I sure do. I'm an avid reader and respect the art of good writing and journalism, but goodness gracious, sometimes I need to escape in the pages of a book.
Truth so often is stranger than fiction—CCPL has a CD book about that, William McKeen's Stranger Than Fiction: The Art of Literary Journalism, exploring the nature of storytelling and how journalism has affected our culture and modes of expression. For a more lighthearted approach, I recommend joining Will Ferrell in the quirky and quite hilarious movie Stranger Than Fiction, so check it out. Here's my true story: I believe in the soul of books. Be it a tattered and torn well-loved children's book, a massive 800 page masterpiece, or the latest must-read on an electronic reader, stories have soul.
I like to let my mind wander and I suspect librarian Ranganathan (1892-1972) did as well. It's okay if you can't pronounce his name—what he did for libraries in his lifetime is what inspired me to write this very post. He believed in sharing his ideas with others, and promoted books in so many ways. Some librarians may refer to him as the "Father of Library Science." I personally related to his simple philosophy of "Every book its reader." I'm not embarrassed to say librarians, in my opinion, are superheroes.
When you're reading a book, you're sharing your soul with what's on the page. CCPL library staff is dedicated to connecting you with what stirs your soul. We also believe that any person who visits the library should be given excellent service. We strive to keep our atmosphere welcoming and helpful, no matter what's going on in the world at large. We aren't fair weather fans—we love our library users, and it's our job to help you find the information you need. But Mr. Ranganathan makes the best case for the soul of the library and the soul of the book: "Library staff should be given full responsibility to promote the use of books…the book pleads with the librarian as follows: I am inert. Of my own accord, I am unable to lead into my reader's hands. My voice is not audible…I depend on you for my being taken to my reader to be taken to me."
Whew! Pretty cool, huh? You can find out more about Ranganathan or your hero of choice by visiting our Biography Resource Center. If you'd like help finding the perfect read for you, use our Book Mate service, and let us help you escape. We're not shushing you…tell us about your heroes and learn more about them at your library.
