The condition of the James R. Thompson Center, the foremost state government office building in Chicago, is getting some grief from former Illinois Gov. James R. Thompson.
"It looks like a scrap heap," the former governor told Crain's Chicago Business in a story published online Wednesday. "It's terrible, just terrible."
Thompson noted the carpeting, which is patched with duct tape, looks like it's the original floor covering.
"They still have the same stuff we put in when the building opened in 1985," Thompson said. "And we did cheap carpeting then to stay within the budget. But it wasn't supposed to last 30 years." Thompson said he's wondering what message it sends about state government when visitors see the lack of maintenance.
The building, designed by architect Helmut Jahn, has been controversial from the start. When it opened, some hated its blue-and-salmon glass exterior. Others complained about its bulky shape.
Two years after it opened, the state of Illinois sued the building's architects and engineers because summer temperatures exceeded 110 degrees in some workspaces. The problems eventually were fixed and the building remained a stop on Chicago architecture tours for decades.
Crain's reported that lately there have been complaints about leaky ceilings, discolored walls and rusted metal panels.
Illinois Department of Central Management Services operates the building. A spokeswoman told the business publication that some work is scheduled for the fall.

The Anabaptist Tradition: Mennonites
John D. Rempel
Anabaptism and its descendant movement, Mennonitism, came into being through the illegal baptism of believers upon confession of faith. Anabaptist worship was characterized by form and freedom. It included reading and interpreting the Bible by preachers and other worshipers, practicing baptism, the Lord's Supper, anointing, and other acts while allowing for immediate promptings by the Holy Spirit, as in 1 Corinthians 14. Routinized worship developed gradually by means of leaders internalizing important turns of phrase as well as writing prayers and publishing prayer books. Some streams of Mennonitism, like the Amish, have laid great stress on following the tradition that emerged. At the same time there arose renewal and missionary movements for whom Spirit-led improvisation was essential for true worship that was accessible to seekers. Beginning in the late 19th century, Mennonite churches arose in the Global South. For them the movement between form and freedom was essential to authentic worship. Singing is the central act of the congregation in all types of Mennonite worship. There is a lean sacramentalism in which the visible church is the body of Christ in history. In the practice of ordinances or sacraments, there has been great concern from the beginning that God's acts of grace be received by the faith of the believer in order for such acts to be true to their intention. The Lord's Supper emphasizes encountering both Christ and one's sisters and brothers in a transformative way. Baptism is entering a covenant with Christ and the church. In addition, anointing, discipline, funerals, marriage and celibacy, parent and child dedication, and ordination are practiced.
Apocalypticism in U.S. History
Matthew Avery Sutton
Apocalypticism has had a powerful impact on American life. It has fostered among adherents a strong sense of purpose and personal identity, it has helped them interpret the challenges they face all around them, and it has provided them with a triumphant vision of the future. Although there are many kinds of apocalypticism, in the United States, Christian forms have dominated. The Bible's focus on a coming millennium has offered Americans the promise of transformation and redemption in a world that sometimes seems void of both. When Christians have emphasized the Bible's apocalyptic and millennial visions, they have acted in new and important ways. Apocalyptic visions, rather than fostering a sense of indifference to the coming of the end of days, have served as a call to battle. God, millennialists insist, has given them much to do and very little time in which to do it. Positive that Jesus is coming soon, they have preached revival and engaged directly and aggressively with their culture. Sometimes their actions have served to reinforce the status quo, and at other times they have sparked revolutions. The uses of apocalypticism and millennialism are almost as diverse as their adherents.
Bibles and Tracts in Print Culture in America
Lincoln A. Mullen
Since the first printing presses were established in Britain's North American colonies, print was a ubiquitous feature of American religion. Print was a powerful means of communicating religious ideas, both to the faithful and to people whom religious groups wished to persuade. One common form of religious communication was the pamphlet or, by the 19th century, the tract. These tracts were a way of catechizing people who were already a member of different denominational groups, and tracts provided them with inexpensive collections of religious reading material, such as hymns or psalms. Tracts become a primary feature of evangelism in the United States, as did Bible distribution. In the 19th century the American Tract Society and the American Bible Society managed to exert a long reach into the interior of the United States, with distribution channels that were more far flung than those of any other institution except perhaps the postal service.
Print also functioned as a means of creating institutional loyalties. The American Tract Society created a network of tract distribution and funding which linked together large numbers of affiliate societies. While the American Bible Society preferred a different organizational structure, it brought together a wide array of denominations to make common cause for Bible distribution. In the 20th century, trans-denominational periodical publishers managed to unite various wings of Protestantism, as periodicals staked out positions in debates between fundamentalists and modernists, or later between evangelicals and liberal or mainline denominations. Yet smaller publications also functioned to establish denominational loyalties.
The Bible was by far the most important printed text in American Christianity. One of the earliest imprints in North America was a translation of the Bible into the Algonquian language, and later missionary groups sometimes made it a priority to translate the Bible into Indian languages. Printing of the English Bible proliferated for a number of reasons. One was the repeated efforts of the American Bible Society to supply the United States with a Bible for every household. Another was the development of various editions of the Bible, containing different qualities of paper and typography, or distinguishing themselves by the purpose of the text, such as study Bibles rich in notes, maps, and other explanatory features. A third reason was the proliferation of Bible translations, beginning with the late-19th-century Revised Version. These Bible versions were aimed at improving the scholarly reliability of the text, but they were matters of intense interest and debate among Christians more generally. Bible translations came to be a key marker of group identity and a contested source of religious authority, even as they were sponsored by trans-denominational groups like the National Association of Evangelicals or the National Council of Churches.
In short, print culture was a primary means of establishing group loyalty, for various Protestant groups as well as for Jews and Catholics, yet it also represented a key attempt at Christian unity and ecumenism. Print culture was both a proxy for many other ways of being religious and a powerful religious force in its own right.
The Book of Isaiah
J. Blake Couey
The book of Isaiah is a compilation of prophetic poetry and narratives, named for an 8th-century
Isaiah is a sophisticated work of biblical Hebrew poetry, characterized by intricate combinations of imagery and wordplay. It features a high view of divine sovereignty, emphasizing Yhwh's control over world nations and superiority over all human and divine powers; these ideas contributed to the emergence of monotheism in ancient Judah. The book also articulates diverse responses to imperial domination, even as it chronicles the ebb and flow of Judah's own imperial aspirations. Striking portrayals of women and gender appear throughout Isaiah, including the extensive personification of Jerusalem as a woman and the comparison of Yhwh to a mother. Isaiah is also notable for its discourse about disability, which serves a variety of rhetorical functions in the book.
The impact of Isaiah was felt immediately, as evidenced by the number of copies of the book among the Dead Sea scrolls and citations of it in the New Testament. It greatly impacted the development of important religious ideas, including apocalypticism and belief in resurrection. In Christianity, Isaiah played an important role in reflection upon the nature of Jesus and the inclusion of Gentiles, even as it informed Christian anti-Judaism. The book has had a more complicated reception in Judaism, where it significantly influenced the growth of Zionism. Scholarly study of Isaiah continues to clarify the shape of its final form and history of composition. Current research on the book is increasingly interdisciplinary, engaging metaphor theory, disability studies, and postcolonial thought. The history of the book's interpretation and reception is another area of growing interest.
Desire, Love, and Romance in the Hebrew Bible
J. Cheryl Exum
In the Hebrew Bible human sexual desire is, for the most part, constructed as male and as dangerous. In the patriarchal economy of ancient Israel, in which women were subordinated to men and younger men to older men, desire poses a potential threat to the preservation of male status, privilege, and hierarchy, upon which the patriarchal system is based. It is viewed warily as an overwhelming urge that, unchecked, can cause a man to lose control and act in ways that might jeopardize his position in the patriarchal hierarchy and, if some texts are to be taken seriously (Proverbs, the story of Samson), even his life. Thus legal texts seek to regulate and control sexual behavior and thereby channel sexual desire in permissible directions; Proverbs responds to the threat that uncontrolled desire poses by offering the young man a patriarchally sanctioned object of desire, personified Wisdom, and narrative texts, such as the stories of Samson and Delilah and David and Bathsheba, provide object lessons in the dangerous consequences of desire. There are few places in the Hebrew Bible where one person is said to love ('ahab) another in an amorous or carnal sense, and in all these cases only one of the pair is said to love. This does not mean that love was not thought of as reciprocated in biblical times, but only that reciprocal love was not a concern of biblical writers, with the exception of the poet of the Song of Songs. The Song of Songs is the only text in the Hebrew Bible in which sex, desire, love, and romance can all be found. This short book, the Bible's only love poem, gives its readers an unprecedented insight into what it is like to be in love from both points of view, a woman's and a man's.
Egypt in the Old Testament
Christopher Hays
The relationship between Egypt and ancient Israel and Judah was far more complex than is often recognized. Egypt figures prominently in their national myths of origin as a way station for the patriarchs and as the "house of slaves" and starting point of the Exodus. Although no Exodus event can be confirmed from extrabiblical sources, its significance in the Bible suggests an historical kernel. The diverse existing traditions about Egypt in the texts of the Pentateuch and other early biblical writings, combined and written down at a later date, seem to reflect different experiences on the part of the groups that coalesced into Israel
By the time of the monarchy, there is more direct evidence for Egyptian influence on Israelite culture, particularly in administrative affairs. It is also clear that Egyptian religion was practiced in the Levant at this time and would have been known in Israel and Judah.
By the time of the divided monarchy, the historical picture comes into better focus. Relations between Egypt, Israel, and Judah were quite variable. Although Egypt's New Kingdom empire in the Levant had ended, the region continued to be a useful trading outlet, and the pharaohs were not above raiding to assert their power. However, there are numerous examples of fugitives from the Levant finding refuge from their enemies in Egypt. In the interest of maintaining a buffer zone against the northern empires that encroached, Egypt and Kush gave military aid to Israel and Judah at times, through both direct action and supplies.
The prophets had not forgotten Egypt's role as an oppressor and frequently condemned it, as well as the tendency of Israelite and Judahite rulers to seek its help. But at times the prophets also envisioned peace with Egypt.
There are a number of specific Egyptian texts that supply mutually illuminating points of comparison with biblical texts, including wisdom instructions, prayers, hymns, creation accounts, and autobiographies. These are indications of the extensive, ongoing, cultural interactions between Egypt and the cultures that produced the Old Testament.
God in the Old Testament
Brent A. Strawn
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Religion. Please check back later for the full article.
The God of the Old Testament (or Hebrew Bible) is arguably one of the most fascinating deities in all religious literature: complex and multifaceted; prone to great acts of mercy and kindness, although not above brutal acts of punishment and wrath; consumed with care for the world and its inhabitants; capable of changing direction or mind; inexplicably in love with God's people and deeply concerned with their ways in the world.
This robust picture of the character of God in the Old Testament emerges in the aggregate: from viewing the library of books that is the Old Testament as a whole and trying to reckon with their literary complexity at a higher order of reflection. Inordinate attention to specific parts of the Old Testament—this verse, say, or that one, especially when divorced and isolated from all others—can produce a completely different (mis)perception such as that found in some ungenerous estimations that see the God of the Old Testament as petty or unjust, vindictive or bloodthirsty, misogynistic or genocidal. Such estimations are as old as the second-century arch-heretic Marcion but are also found in works of more recent vintage.
Some—although certainly not all—of these negative descriptors can be applied to the God of the Old Testament in certain passages, but a portrait consisting solely of them will end up being little more than a caricature that will not hold up to close scrutiny because it systematically ignores every piece of contrary data found in the Bible. To be sure, accounting for what might be called "polarities" in God's presentation (God's love versus God's wrath) is a challenging intellectual task, literarily as much as theologically. Not all readers are up to the job (witness Marcion). But this task must be engaged if one wishes to write a complete character description (not to mention analysis) of God from the biblical texts. Indeed, the complexity of any more fulsome portrait of God in the Old Testament—marked, for example, by tensions, a vast array of metaphors, and alternative presentations—should be one of the primary results of such an endeavor. The God of the Old Testament is, after all, first and foremost, according to the description above, complex and multifaceted.
The complexity of God's portrayal in the Old Testament is the direct result of the diversity of the Bible itself—a term that derives from a Greek plural, ta biblia, "the books." Not only are the books of the Bible several and different at a synchronic level, but also they come from different periods and are themselves (that is, within each particular book) the result of long diachronic processes. This two-layered diversity that marks the Bible adds yet further difficulty to the task of describing God therein, even as it suggests that more than one approach can and must be (and has been) utilized in the attempt.
In the final analysis, it seems safe to say that the complexity of God's portrayal in the Old Testament has functioned not only to make this deity endlessly fascinating in the history of civilization but also to underscore—at some literary level, if nothing else—that the God of whom the texts speak is truly a divine character: not able to be captured, controlled, or managed by the human characters in the stories and not even by the sacred literature itself. Only a robust approach to the biblical literature that pays attention to both synchronic and diachronic aspects can hope to do justice to such a fascinating deity.
History of Ancient Israel
H. G. M. Williamson
The history of ancient Israel is best known to most people from the narratives in the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament. There, however, the name "Israel" covers a wide diversity of social and political entities over the course of many centuries. The first attestation of the name outside the Bible (on the Egyptian stela of Merneptah, c. 1208
How to combine these differing forms of evidence has been the topic of lively and sometimes rancorous debate, which varies in its detail from one period to another, often depending on the extent to which external sources are immediately available. Solutions are not always available, but exploration into the nature of these problems and misunderstandings in the application of appropriate methods reveal where the problems lie and, in some cases, what are plausible solutions.
Until the 19th century, the history of ancient Israel was, for most people, coterminous with the familiar narrative of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. No relevant external sources were known, and there was no reason to doubt its essential historical reliability, allowance made, of course, for those who could not accept the miraculous as historically factual.
Archaeological and epigraphical discoveries over the last two centuries or so, together with the introduction more recently of new and different historical methods, have led to aspects of this topic being fiercely contested in current scholarship. Taking a general familiarity with the outline "story" for granted, the following analysis will present some of the major topics on which new data have become available and on which opinion remains divided.
Martin Luther and Christian Hebraism
Stephen G. Burnett
Christian Hebraism was a facet of Renaissance humanism. Biblical scholars, theologians, lawyers, physicians, astronomers, philosophers, and teachers in Latin schools sought to learn Hebrew in order to read the Old Testament in its original language, and to borrow and adapt ideas and literary forms from post-biblical Hebrew texts to meet Christian cultural and religious needs. While some medieval Christian scholars such as Nicholas of Lyra and Raymond Martin made extensive use of Hebrew in their works, not until the early 16th century were a significant number of Christians able to learn Hebrew and use it to study the Hebrew Bible and post-biblical Jewish texts. The desire of biblical humanists to read the Old Testament in Hebrew, the curiosity of Christian Kabbalists searching for ancient wisdom, and a slowly growing number of Jewish tutors and Christians who were able to provide Hebrew instruction all contributed to the growth of this movement. Jewish printers pioneered the techniques of mass-producing Hebrew books to feed this new market. Christian printers would use these same techniques to print grammars, dictionaries, and other books needed for instructing Christians. The growing conviction of Martin Luther and his followers that the Bible was the sole source of religious authority (sola scriptura) provided the most compelling reason for large numbers of Christians to learn Hebrew. The most active and innovative Protestant Hebraists during Luther's lifetime were members of the "Upper Rhineland School of Biblical Exegesis," including Martin Bucer, Wolfgang Capito, Conrad Pellican, and above all Sebastian Münster.
Martin Luther and his Wittenberg colleagues were early adopters of the new Hebrew learning. He first learned Hebrew using Johannes Reuchlin's Hebrew grammar, and put his knowledge to practical use when lecturing on the Old Testament and translating the Bible into German. His colleagues, above all Philip Melanchthon and Matthaeus Aurogallus, helped Luther translate and revise his translation from 1521 until his death in 1546. Luther characterized his approach to interpreting the Hebrew Bible as "Grammatica Theologica," employing Hebrew philology to interpret the text, but also wherever possible making it "rhyme" with the New Testament. Toward the end of his life, Luther became increasingly concerned that Münster and other Hebraists were too quick to accept Jewish interpretations of many Old Testament passages, particularly verses that traditionally had been understood to be messianic prophecies. In On the Last Words of David (1543) Luther offered a model of how he interpreted the Old Testament, while sharply criticizing Christian Hebraists who followed Jewish interpretation too closely.
Martin Luther's Biblical Commentary: New Testament
Erik H. Herrmann
Martin Luther's exposition of the Bible was not only fundamental to his academic vocation, it also stood at the very center of his reforming work. Through his interpretation of the New Testament, Luther came to new understanding of the gospel, expressed most directly in the apostle Paul's teaching on justification. Considering the historical complexities of Luther's own recollections on the matter, it is quite clear that he regarded his time immersed in the writings of Paul as the turning point for his theology and his approach to the entire Scriptures (cf. LW 34:336f). Furthermore, Luther's interpretation of the New Testament was imbued with such force that it would influence the entire subsequent history of exegesis: colleagues, students, rivals, and opponents all had to reckon with it. However, as a professor, Luther's exegetical lectures and commentaries were more often concerned with the Old Testament. Most of Luther's New Testament interpretation is found in his preaching, which, following the lectionary, usually considered a text from one of the Gospels or Epistles. His reforms of worship in Wittenberg also called for weekly serial preaching on Matthew and John for the instruction of the people. From these texts, we have some of the richest sustained reflections on the Gospels in the 16th century. Not only was the substance of his interpretation influential, Luther's contribution to exegetical method and the hermeneutical problem also opened new possibilities for biblical interpretation that would resonate with both Christian piety and critical, early modern scholarship.

this particular quote was from the UK.
Just replace 'friendly to terrorists' with 'antagonistic to Police State' and see if it doesn't make more sense.
This bill will run into pushback from the companies that restrict warranty work to purchses from authorized resellers. regardless of the logic of that policy, there is a huge number of companies that don't want that to change. As I read the quotes, if I buy from an unauthorized reseller (ebay)the warranty would still apply. Not the way it works now.
Qucik negotiation test. Will loss of your channel result in an adverse financial result to the other company? If no, you have no leverage and should take whatever they offer.
I also agree that emergency weather alerts and dishes are mutually exclusive. Your signal being out should be a pretty good alert alone.
Coders and decrypters have been going back and forth since the middle ages and it will continue forever.
Although the NSA won't be happy, they would be naive to assume there would be no reaction. It does put the NSA's reaction in a different context, although it was embarrassing and the terrorist's a red herring, the exposure of wide spread email monitoring will impact the ease at which they spy as programs such as dark mail are developed.
I worry less about the corruption in the process, they are a fact of existence and hope that they are accounted for. I worry more of the zealots. Those whose mission is a higher calling and that the ends justify any means. Their purity of cause will obliterate any contols and limitations that interfere with what they think is the right thing to do. Their motives justify any action, any subtrefuge.
Remember that the goal of the Spanish Inqusition was to save man's souls. Justification for any action on such a noble cause.
I have never understood why adults can think they should bring the court/police in when juveniles act..well, juvenile.
And based on the story, this guy is in the wrong line of business. He should not be allowed anywhere near the education of children.
I have seen it written on other sites that the WH was looking for an excuse because there wasn't anything to accomplish (in a PR sense) through meetings. No agreements, not even a significant joint statement. And the WH doesn't actually want to discuss serious issues without knowing the answer in advance. It is all theater
I disagree that the benefit should accrue to the labels because content is irrelevant; it is fungible. If EMI and it's back catalog disapeared tonight (or never existed), does one doubt that the pipeline would be filled?
the value is in satisfying the customer, a concept that the labels have a very skewed persective.
That's a bit of hyberbole, we can't be sure that they didn't support copyright and THAT was the reason that they went extinct.
However, we do know that Ancient Greece, the Roman Empire, and biblical Jews didn't have copyright and that is the reason that they had no literature
I think the Pope had that idea when luther was loose with all those dangerous notions.
one persons terrorist is anothers freedom fighter.
Where does Hamas fall according to the UN?
I think that people are taking the request at face value instead of what is really intended. The Brazilian newspapers want their vigorish. They figure that since Google makes money from GN, it would be cheaper to share the spoils than it would be to drop the newpapapers from GN.
Of course, content owners have a realistic idea on how much Google earns from GN (not!)
Eric Flint at Baen Books has been doing a similar thing for several years. I think their focus is more on authors with a catalog.
One thing that has always confused me with regards to the control publishers demand around the copywrite is the failure to republish their back catalog. You would think that would be free money but they seem to have no interest in epublishin what they already have.
I wonder what the optimal mix of prices would be for the traditional mix of Hard cover, paperback/trade and ebook would be? I don't remember any mention of an analysis similar to this for that mix.
Nothing I have read indicates that publishers are interested in optimizing book prices. The approach seems to be 'what the market will bear' and must protect the whale authors.
OTOH, if I was only an ebook author, I would be crazy to add the overhead of a traditional publisher and pay for expertise they eveidently don't have.
I think we must acknowledge that the Web, especially Web 1.0 is old enough that there are now legacy players and they will be have that way. to wit: ' It works fine and I am threatened by anyone that does it differently'
the second part is usually: " I have money and you don't. Let's go to court'
Think about it, would 98% of the readers even know of the contest if this hadn't been the result? I am sure that the media will pick up on this as well, wouldn't be surprised to see this on leno or letterman (or is this more a
Conan thing?).
By rolling with it, Walmart and Pitbull both get a LOT more press than if it were just a run of the mill contest
This strikes me as wishful thinking. In a rational world, organizations would learn from failure. In a political world, they just seem to think that more is better and if it didn't work the first time, double down.(see TPP)
I would consider it newsworthy if there is any indication that the USTR was actually reconsidering and changing their approach but nothing in this blog would make me think that this is happening.
Until that time, these entries are just filler.
Reminds me of the Google IP; 'no way are they going to monitze search to support that valuation'.
They had something of great value and knew it. the Moeny would come.
Now everyone wants Google to share that Money by hook or crook.
Let's Go XXXX has been around for decades. For that matter, Let's go Thunder has been around for about 20 years for my local AA baseball team the Trenton Thunder. I think there is prior art.
what a greedy little idiot

The 14.5 inch Diameter Satellite TV System, the First Designed for Smaller Boats, is Expected to Be Available to European Boaters in Early 2007
The new TracVision M3 from KVH Industries (Nasdaq: KVHI) is winning fans around the world as the groundbreaking 14.5" diameter marine satellite TV system won the Marine Electronics Category in the 2006 DAME Prize competition, wowing the distinguished panel of international judges with its combination of small size, simple installation, and powerful satellite TV reception. Bestowed each year during the Marine Trade Show (METS) in Amsterdam, the Design Award METS (DAME) Prize is recognized worldwide as one of the leading competitions for marine design, technology, and accessories. This is the second major award bestowed upon the TracVision M3 in recent weeks - the U.S.-based National Marine Electronics Association also selected the TracVision M3 as the recipient of its NMEA Industry Award in the Marine Entertainment category.
"We are thrilled at the response by the prestigious members of the DAME panel to the TracVision M3, which promises to bring the excitement of live satellite TV to a huge new audience of boaters throughout Europe and elsewhere beginning in early 2007," said Mads Bjerre-Petersen, managing director of KVH Europe. "To win the highly competitive marine electronics category is a testament to the time and effort KVH put into every aspect of the TracVision M3. This new satellite TV system is powerful technology made simple, bringing together all of the features boaters have been asking for in a small, simple-to-install, easy-to-operate system that offers outstanding near-shore coverage."
Satellite television is among the most popular accessories for boaters worldwide, keeping them connected to live news, sports, and entertainment via powerful regional satellite TV services. However, due to the size requirements of these antennas, satellite TV was historically only practical for vessels 40 feet and larger. However, the TracVision M3, the world's smallest stabilized marine satellite TV system, changes all that.
The small, simple, and powerful satellite TV system is ideal for installation aboard vessels as small as 25 feet and offers everything a boater needs to enjoy their favorite local programming at sea. The international version of the TracVision M3 will include the fully stabilized antenna, a multi-satellite control unit, and a single cable for easy installation. The TracVision M3 is already available in the United States where it is equipped with an integrated 12V DIRECTV receiver. The TracVision M3's super-efficient 14.5 inch antenna offers a rugged design, precision tracking, and coverage range comparable to larger 45 cm antennas in most areas; crystal-clear proof that less is more.
Additional details regarding the European variant of the TracVision M3 will be provided at the time of product launch

Reaping, The (UK - DVD R2)
Our Scott McKenzie wonders if the profanity filter will censor Hilary Sw**k...
Hilary Swank plays Katherine Winter, a former Christian missionary turned miracle debunker, who is called to the small Louisiana town of Haven to investigate a series of apparent religious incidents. Following the death of a child, events in the town appear to be replicas of the ten plagues, starting with rivers of blood. Along with her trusted assistant, she has to dig deeper into the lives of the townsfolk if she is to get to the bottom of these events and come to terms with the tragedy of her past.
Soon after I started watching The Reaping, I realised it had a lot in common with Fragile, another supernatural thriller I recently reviewed. Both feature a strong female lead that is thrown into a situation where she must confront things she doesn't believe in and learn more about herself in the process. It may have a bigger budget, bigger stars and better special effects, but the structure and ultimately the effect on this viewer was pretty much the same.
What also struck me about this movie is that it is surprisingly pro-faith and pro-religion. Its thematic counterpart Stigmata was very much anti-religion, while being pro-faith at the same time, and we are used to seeing religious organisations represented as the perpetrators of shadowy conspiracies (for example The Da Vinci Code). However, without trying to give too much away, the bad guys are a Satanic off-shoot of Christianity and it makes me wonder why this movie hasn't been picked up and waved around as promotional material by the Bible belt as much as The Passion Of The Christ was.
Christian flag-waving aside, is The Reaping any good? It's okay I suppose. As a weird-happenings-in-a-small-town movie, there's nothing here you haven't seen before. Strange things happen and our heroes investigate them but always remain two steps behind the bad guys until the final confrontation where the big twist is revealed and we get the setup for a sequel. The main problem for me was that while a movie about the physical manifestation of the ten plagues sounds pretty exciting, the plagues themselves aren't that exciting until we get to fire falling from the sky. Hilary Swank's sidekick wading through a river of blood watching a few frogs fall from the sky isn't exactly edge-of-the-seat stuff.
Hilary Swank is always watchable but she hasn't exactly got the material here to show off the acting range that earned her two Oscars. Her character is a typical heroine on a journey of discovery and presumably to keep the running time down, she accepts the supernatural events a little too quickly for someone who is supposedly a staunch atheist. She does share good chemistry with Idris Elba, who plays her God-fearing assistant Ben, and their scenes together contain the most enjoyable dialogue. British actor David Morrissey plays Haven resident Doug with one of the oddest accents I've heard in a movie in a long time. Mind you, I've never been to Louisiana so maybe everyone there talks like that.
It's pretty obvious that a large amount of the budget that didn't go on securing the services of Ms Swank was spent on the special effects, most notably the swarm of locusts and the final confrontation. Everything up to that point is fairly unspectacular and I was left with the feeling that the director realised he still had a lot of money left as he came to film the final scenes. The Reaping is the type of film I might choose to watch if I've seen everything else at the cinema but there's nothing incredibly good or bad about it to make it memorable.
The Reaping comes with a 2.40:1 anamorphic picture. The movie itself is quite colourful, more than you might expect for a story of dark goings-on in a small town. The colours are well represented and the lighting is appropriately bright and harsh during the flashback scenes set in the desert. Where the picture is a bit of a let down is in the detail. It can be fuzzy and lacking in detail, most of all during the darker opening scenes set in Chile.
Dolby Digital 5.1 is the only audio option and it works pretty well in all aspects of the soundtrack. Music plays a big part in setting the tone for the movie and it sounds good, without any interference. Effects like big high pitched notes telling the audience when to be scared may be horror movie clichés but at least they sound as clear as you could hope for. The surround channels get their best workout during the later scenes where thunder crashes from speaker to speaker.
The disc opens with a trailer for 300 and a promotional piece for Warner Brothers' high definition releases. 'The Science of the Ten Plagues' featurette contains interviews with scientists who discuss the reasons why these seemingly religious events may actually occur. Some of the reasons are mentioned by Hilary Swank's character in the movie so it's really just a little more information to back this up for those who are interested.
'The Characters' features interviews with the principal actors where they discuss their motivations and thoughts when they first read the screenplay. 'A Place Called Haven' shows how the people of the small town where the movie was filmed helped out with the production and gave their new Hollywood friends a warm welcome. 'The Seventh Plague' is a very short clip of Idris Elba talking about working with real locusts.
The Reaping is about as average as Hollywood movies get—enjoyable enough to keep you watching but forgettable once you've taken it out of your DVD player. The transfer is decent enough not to put you off watching it but the limp set of short featurettes isn't enough to genuinely enhance the viewing experience. My advice is to give it a rent if you're stuck for something to watch. You won't regret it but there's a chance you might not remember it either.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Review
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Introduction:
Here we go again in the video card wars! AMD just released its best shot across the bow of the best NVIDIA had to offer with the R9 290X. AMD showed their hand with back-to-back launches that hit at the right price points and now we have the retort from NVIDIA in the form of the GTX 780 Ti. Billed as the fastest GPU on the planet, it comes fully equipped to take the best from AMD and move that performance bar a couple notches higher. We saw that the NVIDIA GTX 780 proved that it had the NVIDIA GTX Titan DNA strapped in and functioning perfectly as it delivered performance results very close to that of its faster sibling. Adding in another SMX brings another 192 CUDA cores on line for 2880 single precision cores and 960 double precision cores, a boost by 48 to 240 texture units and we should see some nice increases in FPS over the GTX 780. Another trick up its sleeve is the increase in the memory bandwidth by using memory ICs with a 7000MHz effective data rate similar to what was used on the NVIDIA GTX 770. Boost up the clock to further improve the performance and it sounds like we have a beast of a card right out of the gate.
Pure graphics horsepower is great to have but NVIDIA is bringing more of its ecosystem to light with the addition of Shadowplay, a recording tool that can record up to the last 20 minutes of your gaming session at 1080p while running at 60 FPS. All without the normal FPS hit you see with other solutions thanks to the built in H.264 encoder on the Kepler core. Coupled with GeForce Experience the ecosystem pool of projects keeps adding more and more value to the brand. Priced at $699 the GTX 780 Ti is filling the spot previously occupied by the GTX 780 in the NVIDIA product stack. The question we have is how much better than the R9 290X is it really going to be?
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Closer Look:
Let's start out with a quick look at the Kepler core used to effect on the GTX 780 Ti. Built on a 28nm core sporting 7.1 billion transistors packed into a 533mm2 sized die. The larger die means a less dense core with more surface area to shed the thermal load generated by the core. Specifications on the Kepler revision used on the GTX 780 Ti include five graphics processing clusters, 15 streaming multi processors, 2880 single precision CUDA cores, 960 double precision cores, 240 texture units, and 48 ROPs with 1.5Mb of shared L2 cache. Where we see a difference over the core count of the GTX 780 is in the single precision CUDA cores getting a boost of 576 SP CUDA cores and 48 texture units. Base clock speeds see a boost as well with a stock speed of 875MHz and GPU Boost 2.0 clock of at least 928MHz although this varies depending on the game and power/thermal settings. The memory subsystem is improved as well with the inclusion of 7000MHz data rate GDDR5 still running through the same 384bit bus seen on the GTX 780 and GTX Titan.
Visually the GTX 780 Ti would be difficult if not impossible to distinguish from its siblings if not for the designation being engraved in the industrial looking aluminum shroud. As far as looks go the card is still as visually stunning as when we looked at the first images of the GTX 690 and then Titan. The industrial rugged aluminum shell, the clear poly carbonate window that shows off the vapor chamber based cooling solution and the GeForce logo that lights up in NVIDIA green on the top side of the card all scream high end. In reality that's where the card resides and has a heft to it you don't often see. The GTX 780 Ti shares its dimensions with the rest of the cards that use this design and comes in at 10.5 inches in length and takes up the space of a pair of slots in the chassis.
Connectivity options are unchanged from the GTX Titan and GTX 780 and include a pair of Dual-Link DVI 1, a single HDMI, and a single DisplayPort 1.2 port that support up to four monitors in a 3+1 surround configuration. Up to 4K resolutions are supported with instant recognition and setup of 4K tiled monitors with the latest GeForce drivers. The robust cooling solution discharges the thermal load outside the chassis allowing for use in smaller form factor PCs. The back end of the card features an air intake that features a fin array over the VRM circuits on the inbound side of the card that helps in two ways. It allows cooler air to feed the VRM circuit while also providing an improved air flow path for the centrifugal fan when used in an SLI configuration. In essence you can get better card-to-card temperatures without either suffering from reduced airflow intake.
On top of the PCB we have the power connection points at the back end of the card. A single 6-pin and single 8-pin PCIe power connection coupled with the 75W from the 16x PCIe slot provide up to 300W of power — 50W above the GTX 780 Ti's TDP of 250W so there is some capacity for overvolting and overclocking. With this card NVIDIA introduces a new power management strategy called Power Balancing to ensure no single supply source is overloaded. By load balancing the power source the expectation is a higher maximum overclock — something realized in my testing. A pair of SLI bridge connections are at the front end of the PCB allowing support for up to four cards if your motherboard supports it, although a three-card SLI solution should cover everything currently out on the market. The recommended power supply for use with a GTX 780 Ti is 600 watts based on the 250W TDP.
NVIDIA uses a very robust vapor chamber cooling solution that effectively deals with the heat generated by the large core. This design uses a large vapor chamber and aluminum fin array on the core and VRM circuit. Both of these are interconnected with a large aluminum plate that serves to both guard the PCB with added structural rigidity along with cooling for the memory IC's. Taken as a whole it is an effective solution to the problem of keeping the core card cool. While both AMD and NVIDIA both use a centrifugal fan design NVIDIA has continued development of new and improved fan management algorithms that provide the airflow needed for the card while not pounding on the eardrums.
Launched with the GTX 780 was a new tool that NVIDIA had been working on to allow gamers to take advantage of the hard work NVIDIA does on the back end to provide the best possible gaming experience, hence the name of the tool called GeForce Experience. Now fully live, this tool is multifaceted as it helps keep your drivers up to date so you have the latest releases for the newest games, provides system information, and most importantly it provides a resource to tweak the settings for each game based on the GeForce hardware you own. Say you get tired of testing and tweaking the visual quality settings trying to find that good balance between FPS performance and visual quality. No problem. Open up GeForce Experience, choose your game from a list, and you see the optimized settings. You can choose to change them on your own or just hit the optimize button and then sit back and enjoy the highest FPS performance/visual quality settings your hardware can use. New for the GTX 780 Ti launch is the introduction of ShadowPlay a game recording solution that takes advantage of the H.264 encoder built into the Kepler architecture so that when compared to a software-only solution you get very little performance hit. You can record up to the last 20 minutes of your game play time to show off your skills or greatest fails.
All the extras are nice but the question of the day is: does the GTX 780 Ti have the horsepower to hand the best AMD has to offer in a head-to-head contest? Let's find out.

Another great illustration from Halfanese. I actually dig this more than the videos I previously posted about. So clean! Check out some detailed close-ups here.
Halfanese: Girls and Bikes
Who is the Radavist?
A group of individuals who share a love of cycling and the outdoors. We will always stop for a photo, or to hit a jump. Rubber side up!
We believe the outdoors should be respected. Please, pack it in and pack it out. Leave it better, even. Remember, we're all ambassadors for cycling, so be polite on the road and the trails and observe the leave no trace principles.
What does the Radavist mean?
Rad + Atavist = RADAVIST
Why does a porpoise surf a wave, or a sea otter slide down a rock? Atavism is a primal trait in humans and animals that drives us to do what we do – what ought to come naturally – it's the inherent nature of living things to play. Atavism is why we ride the way we ride; From mashing the city on a track bike, riding singletrack on a 'cross bike and shredding trails on a mountain bike. Take the time to get rad and tell the tale.

We are an interactive retail video company and are looking at new ways to present our videos.
The widget would be embedded in an existing retail website. Imagine the player could be designed to go into these kinds of websites.
We are looking for innovative ways for users to interact with retail video.
A great concept is here http://www.knickerpicker.com
We are trying to come up with new concepts and are looking for the following :
(please note: some points are the optional)
* Ability to display video with interaction movement controls (optional)
* Ability to change the actor/models clothes size (as in knickerpicker) (optional)
* feel free to play around with different sizes of the player, however they should be around "player sized"
* Design for the popup controls also (forward to friend, share, etc)
* Anything you think is cool or innovative and would be fun for the user
* Cool and easy ways to present information on the product such as relevant sizes, colours or price
what we are looking for
* An interactive retail widget that is suitable for embedding into an existing retail web site
what we are NOT looking for
* An entire web site designed

@dr-kart - CPU Family 6 is definitely Core2 and your -march= and -mtune= both point to that as well. Therefore you should be able to safely use the core2 optimized packages for this processor.
Note that I am in the process or building the 220.127.116.11-1 version of kernel26-ck for all arches and CPU flavors now. If you install from the repo you will get the "unstable" 2.6.39-1 version. The build just started to it'll take a good 2-3 h before all 11 kernels, nvidia-ck's, and broadcom ck's are built and uploaded.
Thanks for downgrading to 2.6.38 version I think its a bit more mature, plus I have some weird modules I dont like to compile again.
Proud Arch Linux user since 2007.
@twilight - you're welcome. Guess I should have posted here as well. I put it on the AUR page and in the changelog on the wiki.
Retro-bump to 184.108.40.206-1
Following a great discussion that took place in the AUR, and after considerable thought, I felt that providing the community with a stable kernel was the most important factor and have downgraded the PKG to the 2.6.38 series but patched the PKG to uses the latest and greatest version of BFS which is v0.404. In CK's own words, "It [BFS 404] should be perfectly fine. Only 2.6.39 is unstable, not BFS 404." The repo is now populated with 18.104.22.168-1 and the matching nvidia-ck and broadcom-wl-ck packages as well. I build the kernel PKG with the epoch=1 setting in the PKGBUILD so pacman should automatically grab it even though it is numerically less than 2.6.39 with no fuss.
http://ck-hack.blogspot.com/2011/05/263 … table.html
As soon as this flush plugging bullshit gets sorted out, I will of course update the PKG.
Note: you may still build 2.6.39-1 if you wish. Find the needed files on the AUR.git for this package: http://pkgbuild.com/git/aur.git/log/kernel26-ck

Thank you very much! Downgrade worked fine for me!
Is there any chance of getting architecture specific lts versions? I'm after a core2 version and an AMD k10 version. I currently compile from AUR, but just came across this.
Also with the broadcom-wl & nvidia modules [for core2]
Thanks for putting in the hard work on this!

@hd - sorry dude, space limitations on the server cause me to be frugal about the number of packages I can host at a given time and I'm nearing the limit with the current set of offerings. I would love to add an archive for example that would contain the last 3 or 4 versions of all the packages as well as to add cpu-specific archs for the lts package family.

@dgr48 - I think you found a bug in pacman 3.5.2? The md5sum for the file is identical in all three places: file on my local disk, inside kernel26-ck.db.tar.gz, and in the downloaded file.

Hi graysky,
I've found something missing from the wiki page (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Kernel26-ck).
does not have the configuration of the mkinitcpio.conf/modules, so the append "elevator=bfq" can work.
@dgr - go ahead and update the page please. I actually don't use bfq so I can't comment.
@drg48: Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I ll tell you guys once I boot back to ck kernel if my problem is solved.
@graysky: Page updated already by me!
Proud Arch Linux user since 2007.
@graysky: already installed from the repo, and it's all good.
@twilight0: Thank you.
Congrats for all the work.
Kind regards,
@dgr48 - can you remove the package and try to install it from the repo again? It now works for me?! If it doesn't work for you, please post to the flyspray ticket https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/24518 following Dan's step.
Thanks for helping to troubleshoot!
@graysky: as I stated before, its all ok now, installed from the repo.
One suggestion, in the package of the kernel, couldn't be added the file /etc/mkinitcpio-ck.conf (for the CK kernels) so we can have one mkinit configuration different of the kernel26 (Arch Kernels).
/etc/mkinitcpio.d/kernel26-ck.preset :
Kind regards,
@dgr48 - I could make that edit but I'm afraid that it would cause more trouble than it's worth. I think I'll keep it as KISS as possible since it is after all an Arch package
Plus, we who don't use it might not want unnecessary modules cluttering our initrd. Not that I think it'd make any significant difference, but still.
@graysky Great job so far - I (actually represent a bunch of machines here) have been a long-time user of your repo with almost no issues.
Can we hope to see catalyst-ck package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=29111) on your repo? It would make kernel updates perfectly pain-free. Hopefully this kmod only package won't take much space.
(I know, I know, Catalyst is bad, just in case. It's no good for GNOME3. But still, it keeps those laptops cool - often a basic requirement for mobile computing.)

I don't think that's necessary. There is catalyst versions that you can compile the fglrx for the various kernels you want to use. So is completely pain-free. At least I always recompiled my fglrx module without any problem.
@shanto - I would but I only have nvidia machines here so I wouldn't be able to properly test the packages.
EDIT: Back up with 2.6.39-10 online!

Oceanside is on the high side, although not the highest in the county. That honors goes to Jericho, which graduates 98.3 percent of its students, with 86.8 percent meeting the state standard.
On the other side of the ledger is Hempstead, a high need district by any criteria you care to use to measure that kind of thing.
Hempstead graduates 37.5 percent of its students, with only 4 percent meeting the state's readiness standard.
You can see that the 74 percent graduation rate is meaningless in much of the state's school districts.
Other local districts fall somewhere in between Jericho and Hempstead.
Malverne graduates 81 percent of its seniors, but only 24.1 percent meet the state readiness standard.
West Hempstead graduates 83.4 percent of its seniors. The state says that 32.8 percent of those students meet its readiness standard.
Countywide, 89.1 percent of seniors graduate, but only 53.8 are ready for college or career by state standards.
It makes a person wonder why so few of the graduates are actually ready to go out into the world. Are the school district graduating students who are not ready to graduate, or is the state standard unrealistic?
That is a question that nobody seems ready to answer, not the school district and not the state.
The other question that has been addressed over the last decade is how to close the gap between minority and white students and between high need and low need districts.
Billy Easton is the executive director of the Alliance for Quality Education, a state group that sued the state more than a decade ago over the disparity in school aid.
"The gulf in graduation rates between wealthy and needy school districts is a gaping wound and current state policies are failing to address the problem," Easton said in a recent statement. "The gap in graduation and college readiness rates matches a dramatic gap in school spending where students in the wealthiest districts have much richer educational opportunities. In recent years, the state has turned its back on closing the educational opportunity gap and for the past five years in a row, the budgets passed by the governor and the legislature have resulted in more and more classroom cuts."

Pioneer 1
Goals: Similar to Pioneer 0/Able 1, this mission was to study the ionizing radiation, cosmic rays, magnetic fields and micrometeorites in the vicinity of Earth and the enter lunar orbit.
Accomplishments: A malfunction of the launch vehicle prevented the spacecraft from reaching the escape velocity needed for a trip to the Moon. It reached a peak altitude of 115,400 km (about 71,700 miles) and re-entered Earth's atmosphere about 43 hours after launch. However, during its flight the spacecraft did return data on the near-Earth space environment, including confirmation of the existence of the Van Allen belts.

Day Two at Melges 24 World Championship — The Italian Job
1 August 2017
The second day video highlights of the 2017 Melges 24 World Championship in Helsinki - video edited by Zerogradinord / Mauro Melandri & Silvia Gallegati
August 1, 2017 - Helsinki, Finland - Drastically different weather conditions from those experienced yesterday took the fleet to the race course in the second day of racing in Helsinki, where the Melges 24 World Championship, organized by International Melges 24 Class Association together with the Finnish Melges 24 Class Association and hosted by the Helsingfors Segelklubb, will last until Friday, August 4th.
A steady breeze up to 15 knots, together with choppy sea and short waves, allowed the conclusion of three races that bring to five the total of the series up to today. There is no doubt those are the favorite conditions for the Italian crew of Maidollis ITA854 (1-1-1 today), that finds its rhythm and scores three bullets, without leaving any room for competitors.
"It's not just that we love these conditions, said Enrico Fonda, calling tactics aboard Maidollis where Carlo Fracassoli is helming. "But also the fact that today the races were left race to randromness: the wind was steady, you could pursue your strategy. Even if the conditions were demanding, it has been a perfect day. A sunny Helsinki has a lot to offer: tomorrow we will give our best to maintain the leadership of the ranking, achieving again the success of 2012 would be amazing, but it's really too early to talk about this."
Bruce Ayres' Monsoon USA851 (2-22-6), leader of the provisional ranking after the first day of racing, slips today in to the second position, where it is followed by another Italian entry, Taki 4 ITA778. The reigning World Champion crew by Marco Zammarchi with Niccolò Bertola in helm (6-2-8/1-1-3 Corinthian) scores all placements in the top ten today, climbing up to third place in overall ranking and above all, obtaining the leadership of the Corinthian division, held by Barmaley until yesterday.
Back to the moorings, Giacomo Fossati, tactician of Taki 4, commented: "We are extremely satisfied with the development of today. We've been working a lot since the Worlds in Miami and for sure we are here to defend the title, but this time we are also focused on the overall ranking. Being on a top-three position is very exciting for us, we will have to fight hard to maintain the positioning and reach our objectives".
The top three of the Corinthian podium is completed by Estonian entry Lenny EST790 (13-11-12/3-5-5) that, despite a damage to the gennaker, still managed to conclude the racing of the day in enviable positions, and by MAS Wolfpack NOR724 (16-8-4/4-2-2) helmed by Jon Aksel Mortensen.
Today's race winners will be awarded by the prizes of Melges Europe, LifeProof and Vana Tallinn.
Tomorrow, central day of the 2017 Melges 24 World Championship, three more races should be sailed to keep shaping the final ranking. The first preparatory signal is again scheduled for 11.00am.
