Last December Columbia University Press published a posthumous work by Roland Barthes titled The Preparation of the Novel. The book consists of lectures for a series of courses on the writing of a novel, lectures which were among the last Barthes delivered before his sudden death in 1980. They also include excellent and informative introductions by both the book's editor, Nathalie Léger, and translator, Kate Briggs.
At the time of the lectures many speculated that they were a run-up to a project many had long hoped Barthes would take on: the writing of his own novel, provisionally titled "Vita Nova." Although Barthes never did write a novel, the lectures provide both an idea of how Barthes might have approached this unique task, as well as his typically profound thoughts on numerous aspects of the novel.
I've interviewed Briggs, on this capacious text. The Times Literary Supplement praised Briggs' translation, saying in part "Kate Briggs's wonderful translation finally makes available in English a most unusual book by one of the most significant literary figures of the twentieth century."
Scott Esposito: In his introduction to the first lecture, Barthes writes "for someone who has written, the domain of the Vita Nova can only be that of writing: the discovery of a new writing practice. The New expectation is only this: that the writing practice should break with previous intellectual practices . . . it's this daily grind that must be interrupted." What kind of writing do you think Barthes is getting at here, and are there any practitioners of it that you are aware of?
Kate Briggs: Barthes begins his lecture by noting that sometimes an event can occur in a life which turns out to mark a "decisive fold," to prompt a shift, a radical change. One example he gives of this is Jacques Brel, who abruptly left the world of music after being diagnosed with cancer and took to sailing around the world. What has always struck me about the passage you quote is the fact that for Barthes this entirely new life should still be a life of writing. Perhaps it's worth noting that Barthes's version of the "daily grind" was the daily life of an academic: a life of teaching, supervision, articles, book editing, proof correction–those sorts of activities. But while Brel switched to a new activity, for Barthes the exigency was not to do something completely different, but to find a new way of engaging with what he'd already spent so much of his life doing. So Barthes's Vita Nova would still be a life of writing, which suggests to me that the writing's possibilities hadn't yet been exhausted, and possibly that they're just not exhaustible, and this has something to do with the peculiar nature of writing activity and why writing has such a powerful hold over those who practice it. Not only would Barthes's Vita Nova still be a life of writing, it would still be a life of teaching. The lecture course amounts to a break with previous intellectual practices in itself in the sense that it's a novel experiment in how to integrate teaching and writing, a test to see whether it's possible to make those two activities into one and the same project, which in this case is the project of writing a novel. So I have always felt that the task Barthes is setting himself is actually harder than switching to a wholly unrelated activity: the break with the daily grind involves transforming rather than escaping that daily grind; trying to live the same life, but on an entirely different basis.
In terms of the novelty of this newly discovered writing practice, I think the point is it had to be new for Barthes: a writing practice that he'd not yet attempted. But it's interesting to think about the kind of work he had already published–conceptually (and formally) innovative works such as A Lover's Discourse: Fragments, or Roland Barthes by Roland Barthes, both of which seem to me to break with customary intellectual and writing practices. Yes, I can imagine Barthes saying, but: those works involved a fragmented writing; there it was a question of writing discontinuously whereas what would be entirely new would be the novel, conceived as a long, grand continuity. Length is very important here: the novel is the long, continuous prose form par excellence, even by definition (the one definition theorists seem to agree on is the novel is a long, continuous piece of prose). So to answer your first question: the sort of writing Barthes is getting at here is specifically the writing of a novel, in its connectedness, its continuity, its length. For Barthes, to write a novel would have been to engage in something entirely new, but something that he wasn't sure he had the aptitude for. There's a beautiful moment in the notes when he compares his anxiety around his aptitude for novel-writing to someone who worries his hands might be too small to play the piano. And that willingness to expose his vulnerability remarkable to me: remember that Barthes is setting out his desire for change in the context of a public lecture course at the Collège de France, he's using the format of the lecture course as a means to engage in a writing project, but apparently had no idea what the outcome would be, no idea whether he'd manage to write the desired novel, and no idea whether he was capable of writing one. There's a vulnerability running through the whole course that's also–I think–a generosity: a way of not intimidating his audience, a form of what Barthes calls non-arrogance. So to come to your second question, I would reformulate it slightly, and ask: Are there writers, academics, intellectuals out there writing and teaching in this way, in the sense of daring to attempt something wholly new? Are there writers, academics, intellectuals out there showing similar willing to break with past practices, even if that means breaking with past positions, changing their minds, risking failure?
Barthes didn't manage to produce a novel, but he does describe the kind of novel he would like to see written. It would, he says, be simple: which he defines as non-ironic, unself-conscious, non-arrogant, loving. It would be filial, so conscious of its lineage and it would desirous–something that calls for reading, that wants to be read and that we want to read. Those are perhaps surprising, not especially innovative criteria for this "new writing practice." But then, again: How many contemporary novels do this? How many novels manage to be both intelligent and generous (non-arrogant)? How many novels are filial, in the sense of being alert to or even interested in the complex tradition of the novel? I'm thinking of what Tom McCarthy has said recently about what he sees as a refusal to engage with a legacy of modernism, or even with the fact that the nineteenth century realist novel–still the template for so much of what gets written today–was already anxious about itself and its own tenets. And how many novels actually manage to be objects of desire, to be something I want to read, that calls for reading?
Barthes didn't write the novel he envisaged. But what he did is formulate a very concrete sense of a practice of notation, a daily writing practice which would be a form of preparation for the novel. Which leads me to your next question . . .
SE: I was intrigued by Barthes' lecture on haiku, and his connecting its drastic brevity to the novel, which would be something along the lines of the opposite. Yet for all that, he leaves the connection between haiku and novel tantalizingly open. In your opinion, what do Barthes' thoughts on haiku say about novels?
KB: I agree that the connection is surprising. In the story Barthes' is telling, the novelist takes notes from life and these notes serve as the basis for the novel. Barthes' opening claim is that novels are made of out of life and the capturing of life as it happens, as it befalls you, requires a practice of note-taking. This–that the material of the novel should be life–is intriguing in itself. Throughout the lecture course, one of the points Barthes insists on is just how hard writing is: how difficult it is to get started, how difficult it is to sustain a writing practice over time, how difficult it is to negotiate life with all its demands and still find the time necessary for writing. Another aspect of that difficulty is around having to make things up, to lie. It's not easy to lie convincingly, but for some people (for Barthes) it's difficult to bring yourself to lie in the first place: to make things up and write them down and present them as such to a reader. And the difficulty has to do with the simple fact that they're not true. I've read this as described as primness on Barthes's part, which doesn't seem right to me at all–but perhaps that's because it's something I struggle with too? Either way, a resistance to making things up is clearly going to be a problem for any would-be novel writer. In the face of that difficulty, the tradition of preparation of and for the novel that Barthes engages with is that of the realist novel, the nineteenth century novelist who goes out in the world and takes notes directly from daily life. So that's the starting point. But that in itself is by no means straightforward. How do you start up a practice of notation? What's worth noting down? What isn't? How do you decide? For Barthes, the haiku is the exemplary form of the sort of notation he's getting at: the haiku–the shortest of short forms–captures life in its minutiae, its tenuity in the sense of all that's slight, insubstantial, inconsequential. This is life in its tiniest details: a snail baring its chest, an empty ashtray on a cold morning. The idea is to develop a practice of notation that would achieve what the best haiku manage to do, which is capture in a minimal number of words something of life that makes us feel something; specifically, that makes us say, Yes! That's it! That's exactly how it is. The task of novel-writing would then be to somehow weave those moments together–or more accurately dot them, scatter them throughout a longer narrative because the novel just can't sustain that level of intensity. But the question of how you'd actually achieve this is left suspended. So I'd suggest that the connection between haiku and the novel is left open because this problem– How to pass from the note to the novel, how to turn a sequence of discontinuous notes into a piece of lengthy, sustained prose?–is never adequately resolved.
We have no sense of the novel that would be tacked together out of that material taken directly from life. But Barthes does give us some examples of what that kind of notation might look like or read like. At one point, he describes sitting next to a man on the bus who was underlining every single line of a book in black ballpoint pen. The description is to illustrate a point about the difficulty in deciding what's noteworthy, but as a notation from life it has a certain power, for me at least–I've retained it, I return to it, it rings "true", that little scene speaks to me; Barthes notes that he didn't get to see what book it was, and for some reason that speaks to me too.
So to go back to your earlier question: Can I think of any contemporary practitioners of the kind of writing Barthes is proposing? Well, if we think that the first stage of that new writing practice is a practice of notation, then Lydia Davis's use of the very short form seems to me to have an affinity with a practice of notation Barthes is proposing in the course. For me, there's something of that condensed capturing of life as it happens in her very short stories–and reading them I sometimes find myself thinking: Yes: that's exactly it.
SE: In your translator's introduction, you talk about the various ways in which "preparation" might be interpreted, at times linking the idea of novel-writing to a quest. What do you see as the relationship between writing and desire, both generally and in regards to "Preparation of the Novel"?
KB: The term 'quest' is there for several reasons. First because I had difficulty deciding on an equivalent noun for the French "une recherché" in English: a "search" is one option of course, and an important one because in it we hear the echo of Proust's In Search of Lost Time; "research," is another, and the point is that this is an inquiry, an investigation. But as your question makes clear, though–in this case the search or inquiry is explicitly incited by a desire, and so "quest" imposed itself. But not just for reasons of translation.
Barthes refers to the protagonist of the story he's telling (the story of someone who has experienced the desire to write and wants to set about writing a novel) as a "hero," a "hero" who will have to undergo three "tests" or "trials." So there's already something mythical about the way this story is presented: writers as heroes who somehow manage to achieve their goals despite the setbacks, the difficulties, the interruptions, the breakdowns. Barthes is interested in the force, the desire-to-write that somehow sustains the writer throughout that process. In terms of the relationship between writing and desire, his point is that it's a question that has been insufficiently studied in the field of literary theory–and this leads him to ask what for me are some very important, but very difficult questions: How is it that works of literature get written? What are the necessary conditions for writing to happen? Why is it that some readers, in love with certain books, feel compelled to write while others don't? Barthes' lectures were delivered in 1978-1980. His questions have received more attention recently–I'm thinking of the collected editions of The Paris Review Interviews, or a series in The Guardian where writers were invited to describe their rooms, as if access to the physical space of writing might offer insight into how the words get placed on a page, or the rise of what's called "genetic criticism," a particular critical approach which attempts to reconstruct the writing process from the available material traces. But what intrigues me about all of that is how these attempts to demystify the writing process seem to harbor or even generate their own kind of mystery: explanations that aren't really explanations, because they never quite account for the existence of what they're trying to explain. Arguably, this is also true of the lecture course, which initially seems to promise a thorough examination of the desire-to-write and how it gets converted into actual writing. But then, with the multiplication of examples–from Chateaubriand to Flaubert to Proust to Kafka–and of details–from the choice of form to pen to desk to daily writing timetable–Barthes's questions somehow manage to look even more urgent, even more necessary, and even more unanswerable.
As for my own experience of writing and desire (since translation is a writing practice, albeit a very particular one), there's a point in the course where Barthes talks about wanting to somehow append yourself to something that you find beautiful, something that for you is necessary, but that you lack. I think that's a good description of where my desire to translate this work came from.
SE: Which of the lectures strikes you as particularly insightful, peculiar, worthwhile, or memorable?
KB: Barthes suggests that the destiny of all books is to end up as ruins, fragmented, remembered in bits and pieces but never in their entirety. I think the image he uses is a piece of lace: in our recollections of them, we turn the books we read into pieces of lace. Translating a book is a very specific sort of reading experience, and at one point I had spent so much time with the course that I was convinced I knew the lecture course by heart. I don't, of course! My own piece of lace wouldn't be made up of whole lectures. But I often find myself thinking of moments in the course. I certainly feel inhabited by the book–it's still speaking to me, on a more or less daily basis. One passage I think of as particularly insightful is the section called "I'm Worth More Than What I Write." Barthes is describing what he calls the mechanism of writing, how writing works in the sense of why writers keep on writing–why, to come back to my answer to your first question, for a writer even a wholly new life would still have to be a life of writing. Another relates to this curious way we remember books. At the end of Part 1 Barthes hypothesizes a new form of literary criticism which would be primarily interested in a book's most powerfully affective moments. He calls it "pathetic criticism," a criticism that would index those fragments of a book whose affective power ensures we remember them over all the others. I have found myself returning again and again to that proposition, wondering how it would work, would such a criticism would look like or read like. Since the experience translating The Preparation of the Novel (an experience that occupied most of about three years) I find I think differently about what critical writing can be and do, and about what teaching can be and do–thoughts that I'm now trying to put into practice. So to address what I consider worthwhile about the course: I would say that for me personally, as a reader, its singular value lies in the way it has profoundly shifted the way I think and work.
As for what might be seen as peculiar, I would say the lecture on photography. Not the content of the lecture itself–where Barthes anticipates the arguments he'll develop in more detail in Camera Lucida–but the context in which it appears. In Camera Lucida Barthes refers to the relationship between photography and haiku only once, I think; certainly, photography is clearly very much the focus of that book. But when you read that the course, in terms of Barthes's thinking at the time, it looks as if the main preoccupation was haiku, or more precisely the practice of notation (of which haiku is considered an exemplary form), with photography there as a particular instance or even as an example of that practice. So the proportional relationship is reversed, if you like: there's a sentence on haiku in the context of a discussion of photography in Camera Lucida, but in the lecture course there's a portion of a lecture on photography in the context of a sustained, lengthy discussion of haiku and notation. I mention this because Camera Lucida has always taken to be Barthes last work, a tragically apt meditation on the relationship between photography and death. And I wonder what would happen if the thinking on photography were seen as a kind of staging post on a much longer journey, a much more broadly conceived project, which was the writing of the novel? I wonder what would happen if, rather than rather than a final work, a last word, Barthes' "note" on photography were read as part of this reflection on notation, itself just one element of that crucial first stage in the preparation of and for the novel?

How does that work in modern fortran? > If it's a static array, it'll just crash without even 'starting' simply because not enough memory is available. If it's using the ALLOCATE command in F90, I believe it stops unless the 'STAT' (status) option is provided and is greater than 0. Fortran *does* allow you to specify weird bounds, such as (10:12), and even though the 'upper bound' in this example is the number twelve, the number of elements is only 3 (with indices of 10, 11 and 12), but that doesn't seem to be the case with the original poster's code, so the array does seem to be allocating 3.6TB, assuming integers are 4 bytes.

Tea Carton Makes a Huge Splash
Kliklok-Woodman is pleased to announce the successful rollout of a very unique endload cartoning line at Entyce Beverages in South Africa.
Entyce Beverages wanted to create a special carton with a tea caddy-style self-latching flip-top lid as part of a new marketing campaign for its Five Roses brand of tea. A high-speed Kliklok TRAC (Transfer Right Angle Collator) accepts tea bag tubes (or "slugs") one-by-one and collates them in groups of three, then transfers them 90 degrees into the product infeed conveyor (PIC) of a Kliklok SFR endload cartoner. The SFR erects the carton, forms and closes the flip-top lid, loads the collated tea bag tubes through the bottom of the carton and seals the carton.

Extreme Ride Applications may be NOT reproduced with out the written permission of the Iron Butt Association.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Other 24 and 36 hour rallies qualify. Their omission here is not intentional, it is just not possible to list all qualifying rallies. If you are unsure if a rally you finished is acceptable, please contact Michael Kneebone.
3. Each leg of a back-to-back series must be completed start to finish in the time allowed for a single leg, AND all legs of a back-to-back series must be completed start to finish in no more than the total time calculated by adding the time allowed for each independent leg in the series. The term "leg" refers to the individual rides of a back to back series.
For example, to claim a Bun Burner GOLD 3000, each leg of these rides must be completed independently in 24 hours, AND both legs in under 48 hours overall. To claim triple BBGs, each leg must be completed independently in 24 hours, AND all three legs in under 72 hours overall. To claim a CCC GOLD, each leg must be completed independently in 50 hours, AND both legs in under 100 hours overall.
4. Time left over from a previous leg in a back-to-back series may not be used to lengthen the time allowed for successive legs in the series. The clock for consecutive legs in a back-to-back series must be started exactly on or before the maximum time has expired for the previous leg in the back-to-back series.
Under rule 4 there are two options for handling the midpoint between consecutive legs. In one case a rider may use the ending time of the first leg as the starting time of the second leg. If a rider chooses this option they will be sacrificing any remaining time of the first leg. This valuable time could have been used for much needed rest.
The suggested method of handling the midpoint between consecutive legs is to use any remaining time on the first leg for rest. A rider may even rest beyond the maximum time allowed for the first leg, because the clock for the second leg of a back to back series will AUTOMATICALLY start at the end of the maximum time allowed for the first leg.
5. To document a Bun-Burner GOLD 3000, or CCC GOLD the following procedures are to be followed.
At the start of the first leg obtain signatures on standard Iron Butt witness forms. Then obtain a time/date/place stamped gas receipt. The witness forms serve to document your starting mileage, and backup your starting time. The time/date/place gas receipt is the official starting time of your first leg.
During the first and second legs of your ride, at each fuel stop obtain a time/date/place stamped gas receipt. Keep a log of your fuel stops, and log any other stop longer than 30 minutes. If you get a receipt at any stop other than a fuel stop, save the receipt and log the stop.
At the end of the first leg of your ride, obtain signatures on standard Iron Butt witness forms. The earliest time recorded on these witness forms will be the official end time of the first leg of your ride. If time is short and you cannot find a witness you may substitute one of the following: a time/date/place stamped signed receipt, or an automatic teller machine receipt drawn on your bank account. Then obtain witness signatures with all haste!
The beginning of the second leg of your ride officially starts when the clock runs out on your first leg, or when you obtain a time/date/place stamped gas receipt; whichever comes first. In either case you must obtain a time/date/place stamped gas receipt before leaving on the start of the second leg of your ride.
At the end of your ride obtain a time/date/place stamped gas receipt. The time on this receipt is the official end time of your overall ride. As soon as possible obtain signatures on standard Iron Butt witness forms.
As these are advance rides, this is a certification program only (certificate only) and does NOT include a pin or plate back as it is assumed you have these items by now!
Checklist of documents needed for Iron Butt Association extreme ride certifications: ___ Copies of Witness forms (starting and ending, others) ___ Copies of Receipts (do not send originals!) ___ Map (may be photocopy) showing route with towns stopped in circled ___ Explanation of any problems encountered, for example, "In central Illinois, at my third gas stop, I was unable to get a dated receipt. I asked the attendant to sign his name on the back but he refused to do so. The phone number of the station is (555) 555-1212 - he will verify that I was there at 10 a.m. on August 4, 2001." Also, please complete the following information for your certificate (it goes to the person that does the certificate and not the verification team): Ride you completed (circle): Bun-Burner 3000 GOLD, 100cc Insanity CCC GOLD Address to mail certificates to: ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________ Contact phone number(s), best time to reach you: _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ _________________________________________________________________ If you have one, your e-mail address: ___________________________ Name you want on certificate: _______________________________________ (for example, Jonathan J. Smith, SR or John Smith) Your age (only used for statistics): _________ Circle One (only used for statistics): Male Female Did you do this ride with anyone else? Y/N If so, who: ______________________________________________________________ Date of start: ___________________ (for example, October 5, 2007) Motorcycle make/model ridden: _______________________________ Note: this is used on your certificate. For example, do you want us to list your Honda Gold Wing as a Honda GL1500 or do you want us to list it as a Honda Gold Wing. You may also include a model year if you want, for example; 1993 Honda Gold Wing. CCC GOLD (100cc Insanity): Actual time from start to finish: Hours: ________ Minutes: ________ Miles Ridden according to your odometer: _______________________ Note: These will probably be changed by the verification team. If you used a GPS (Global Positioning Device) and noted your mileage, please enter that reading here: _______________________ Cities/towns your route included: Name of start city: ______________________________________ Note: for the **certificate** you may substitute a large city nearby if you want); for example, if you start in DesPlaines, Illinois, (a suburb of Chicago), it is acceptable to put Chicago as the starting point for the certificate. Name of end city ________________________ Note: Same rules apply to these cities as noted above. If you took a circular route or your route took a turn, name each major city where you took a turn: ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ Note: Some of these cities may be listed on your certificate and the same rules apply to these cities as noted above. For example, we might want to say, Jerry Jones started in New York continued onto Daytona Beach, Florida before ending her ride in Little Rock, Arkansas. Please note that this is only an attempt to make your certificate more readable - do not stop 60 miles short of Los Angeles and expect us to create a certificate that reads Los Angeles. This is to make the certificates more readable so that when you display them, your riding friends will better grasp the immense ride you took. Send the package, along with a check for $60 US (PLEASE DO NOT USE A STAPLE ON YOUR CHECK) to: Iron Butt Association P.O. Box 9450 Naperville, IL 60567-9450 DO NOT send CASH!

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) — The Cleveland Indians signed right-hander Aaron Harang to a minor-league deal on Saturday and invited him to camp.
The 35-year-old Harang went 5-11 with a 5.76 earned run average for the Seattle Mariners last season. He started 22 games and had a pair of shutouts. After being released, he signed with the New York Mets and went 0-1 in four starts with a 3.52 ERA.
Harang has pitched for six teams during his 12-year career. He was the Cincinnati Reds' opening day starter for five consecutive seasons from 2006-10. He led the NL with 16 wins, six complete games and 216 strikeouts in 2006.
After leaving Cincinnati, he went 14-7 with a 3.64 ERA for San Diego in 2011, and 10-10 with a 3.61 ERA for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012.

"Safe Haven" will find no refuge at the box office the weekend, as the latest "Die Hard" movie is set to annihilate the competition.
"A Good Day to Die Hard," the fifth installment in the Bruce Willis action franchise, is expected to gross a robust $55 million by Monday evening, according to those who have seen pre-release audience surveys. 20th Century Fox, which released the film in theaters late Wednesday evening, is anticipating a softer opening of about $40 million.
Either way, the weekend's other three nationwide debuts won't stand a chance at securing the No. 1 position. Romance author Nicholas Sparks' eighth film adaptation, "Safe Haven," will probably collect about $25 million during its first five days in theaters -- a good start for a film that cost less than one-third as much to make as the fifth "Die Hard."
Another film aimed at young women, "Beautiful Creatures," could prove to be a rival for "Safe Haven," as the supernatural romance may take in about $22 million over the long weekend. The animated 3-D film "Escape From Planet Earth," the only new movie debuting on Friday instead of Thursday, is set to gross about $19 million during its first four days of release.
"A Good Day to Die Hard," financed by Fox for about $92 million, follows Willis' John McClane character as he teams up with his long-estranged CIA agent son (Jai Courtney) in Moscow. The picture is set to have the best opening of any "Die Hard" movie since the series launched in 1988.
The highest-grossing film in the franchise, "Live Free or Die Hard," started off with $33.4 million in June 2007 and went on to collect $134.5 million domestically. That movie also sold about 65% of its total global gross -- $383.5 million -- overseas. The latest "Die Hard" has already debuted in seven foreign markets, including South Korea and Hong Kong, and collected a total of $10.4 million.
"Safe Haven" has received the worst reviews of any of the weekend's debuts: On Thursday afternoon, the picture had notched a 10% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, just slightly lower than the 13% that "Die Hard" received. The Sparks movie stars "Dancing With the Stars" veteran Julianne Hough as a victim of an abusive relationship who starts her life over in North Carolina, where she falls for a widower played by Josh Duhamel. Directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker Lasse Hallstrom, the movie was financed by Relativity Media for $28 million.
Movies based on Sparks' best-selling novels have proven to be reliable box office performers in recent years. With modest budgets of no more than $30 million, the romance flicks have consistently attracted females and performed especially well over the Valentine's Day holiday. The biggest Sparks adaptation to date has been "Dear John," starring Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried, which grossed $80 million after opening in February 2010.
"Beautiful Creatures," meanwhile, is hoping to capitalize on the younger female demographic as well. The movie, financed by Alcon Entertainment for about $50 million, is based on a four-book young adult series that has sold 1.3 million books.
The movie, which features a handful of unknown young actors, follows a teenage girl whose supernatural powers threaten her budding romance with a South Carolina native. The movie has a critically acclaimed supporting cast including Jeremy Irons, Viola Davis and Emma Thompson.
"Escape from Planet Earth" has been in development since 2007 at The Weinstein Co., which spent about $40 million to produce the film. The movie, which includes the voices of Jessica Alba, William Shatner and Sarah Jessica Parker, follows a blue alien hero and his brother as they journey to a mysterious and dangerous planet -- Earth.
The picture is also the subject of an ongoing lawsuit, as its writer-director Tony Leech and film producer Brian Inerfeld sued The Weinstein Co. claiming that the independent studio's founders, Bob and Harvey Weinstein, "sabotaged what should have been a highly profitable movie." The lawsuit, filed in 2011, alleged that the brothers demanded 17 rewrites of the film's script and managed its budget poorly.

In 2004, President Gordon B. Hinckley visited Latter-day Saints in France as part of a 10-day European tour during which the Copenhagen Denmark Temple was dedicated. During a meeting in Paris, the LDS Church News reported that he told the French Saints they were "worthy of the richest blessings of the Church."
"I wish I could announce that we could have a temple here, but we do not have a suitable place yet, in my judgment, to build it," President Hinckley said. "So we will continue to look. I don't know when it will be built, but I am confident that that we will have a temple for the French-speaking people of the church sometime in the future.
"And so, my brothers and sisters, I ask you to be patient for a time," he continued. "Sometime in the future a beautiful house of the Lord will grace this land."
"Sometime in the future" is closer now.
In a departure from recent tradition, LDS Church President Thomas S. Monson today announced that the church "hopes" to build its first temple in France on property on the outskirts of Paris.
"Customarily, new temples are announced by the president of the church at one of the church's general conferences, after local government building approvals and property acquisition have been secured," church officials noted in a prepared statement. "Although the local government approval process for the French temple is still under way, French newspapers are already reporting church plans to build at Le Chesnay, near Versailles, and this prompted today's announcement."
Church spokesman Scott Trotter said the church has been working for many months with local officials.
"There have been several previous attempts to find a suitable site for a French temple, but none were finalized," Trotter said. "French members of the church wishing to visit a temple usually travel to those in neighboring European countries."
Trotter indicated that additional details on the new temple will be presented as they become available.
The long-awaited announcement of a temple is just the most recent development in the LDS Church's 162-year history in France. Although there is earlier mention of sending missionaries to France, the first mission of the LDS Church there was organized in 1849. As was the case in so many European missions, the earliest Mormon missionaries met with considerable resistance, and church growth was slow. At one point the mission was closed for several decades, and wasn't re-opened until 1912.
A unique chapter of LDS Church history in France was the so-called "Paris Art Mission." In 1890, five young artists — John Hafen, Lorus Pratt, John B. Fairbanks, Edwin Evans and Herman Haag — were called as "art missionaries" and sent to study at the Julian Academy in Paris, where they honed their skills in preparation for painting the vast murals in the Salt Lake Temple. That "missionary" effort was, by all accounts, eminently successful.
Church growth in France increased significantly after World War II. The first stake in France was organized in Paris in 1975. Twenty-one years later more than 28,000 members of the church in France were divided into seven stakes. Today there are more than 35,000 Latter-day Saints in France in nine stakes, 57 wards, 54 branches, two districts and two missions.
And now, in the very near future, there will be a temple to serve them all.

Maybe not important, but at least different. Although it may be important anyhow, since it probably means a bunch of people got together to think about how to design a hardware platform that would be better than the existing ones. Engineering is supposed to drive innovation, and I guess it's a healthy practice that smaller companies can play in that game too, Big names shouldn't be the only ones to decide how a server should be made. A lot of good ideas come from smaller teams, and sometimes large companies are too constrained to dare thinking outside the box (although it's not a general rule either, as IBM demonstrated with their iDataPlex). Anyway, diversity and innovation are good, and the customer should benefit from it at the end, right? > What is driving HPC is the commodity approach. Use what is used a > million-times all over the world. Where is the need to engineer something > different? True enough, but the downside of the commodity approach is that it tends to reduce the apparition of new ideas. See how long it took IBM to realize that cooling a 1U box could be done more efficiently by rotating the airflow 90°? Everybody was doing it along the long side, so everybody continued to it that way. > And if a small company does something new you won't sell a huge quantity. > So the components get (usually) more expensive. The engineering isn't quite > as advanced (because it is expensive) and many errors just show when you > have a larger install-base. That's right. But maybe new ideas developed by smaller companies can be picked up by larger ones, to pursue the engineering and improve the idea. Ok, I only see the customer's interest here, but hell, I'm a customer. :) > Mhh... a Relion server does not look very different from Intel-Servers (i > mean the intel-oem products). A Jackrabbit seems to be a standard > Chenbro/ICP/Whatever chassis with commodity Boards/Controllers/Disks. The > real trick is probably the software. I don't know the details, but the very people who know are reading this list. They'll probably have more relevant things to say on that matter than anything I could. > That is true (for ClusterVision). We (i'm with ClusterVision) are investing > in our Software - because there we see a lot of potential to do better than > what you see on the market. Hardware is not that different - except for the > brand-name. So Clustervision does with software what I was describing for hardware, and that's good, because it adds diversity to the landscape, it makes my options more interesting as a buyer, and it drives innovation. I totally understand your point that engineering hardware is much more expensive than engineering software, and that it can't be profitable unless you're already big enough to assume the investment costs. > I don't think it is that different. Maybe not, but different enough that we don't see companies in the EU selling their own hardware. :) > Even a company like SGI doesn't seem big enough to really have own hardware > (and live with what you earn for it on the market). And even if ICE is a > nice system - it is not that much different from what other BladeSystems > are doing. So why should a customer bother? Not having seen one first-hand, I'm probably not the best person to describe the upsides of the ICE platform, but from what I've seen, the cable-free, DC current enclosures, the diskless blades, the dual Infiniband planes and the water cooling doors are somehow unique. Those days, improvements are mainly seen on the energy efficiency front. But customer who cares about her annual electricity bill should surely care. shouldn't she? > Maybe i'm too young to really see SGI going down as a big loss - in my time > they were just another Intel-Selling company with a strange attitude and > really expensive products. But i never understood the excitement about Sun > either ;-) A shrinking market is never a good sign, and I think that both SGI and Sun contributed so many ideas, products or software in our IT world that it's became part of our culture, consciously or not. :) Cheers, -- Cheers,

Women are gaining more recognition in the video game industry, thanks to the rise in games played on mobile devices. According to The Street, while traditional gaming remains dominated by men, a report from the analytics firm Flurry found more than half of mobile players are women.
The fact that we're awesome at Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja probably won't do much to improve our street cred in the gaming community, but in general games played on mobile devices are becoming more important in the industry. Sales of console games were down 5% in 2010, while mobile gaming is constantly growing, and is expected to be a $15 billion industry by 2015.
On average, ladies who play games spend more than 25 minutes per day tapping away on their phones, which is more time than they spend watching primetime TV. (We'd be interested to see the data on this statistic, as that isn't even a full Real Housewives episode.) Advertisers are taking note, and hopefully this time they'll realize women like playing video games, even if they don't involve pink sparkles and competitive shopping.

Last night at Chez Melvin, we focused on the search for maximum pessimism. The U.S. stock market has not exhibited this condition for some time now. It existed last year in Europe, but even most of those markets have bounced off the bottom. The Italian and Spanish markets that were in severe bear market conditions this time last year have recovered nicely and are in the black for the past year. Even the Greek markets have gone up over the past 52 weeks. Maximum pessimism is just not apparent among the global equity markets.
So, this must mean sell, right? Hardly, as I am not exactly finding maximum optimism either. Stocks are climbing the wall of worry after scaling the fiscal cliff to start the New Year. For every bull there is a bear, it seems, and a great deal of confusion among the so-called experts. Now is the time to sit back and enjoy the gains in the stocks you bought when everyone else was puking under the desk and scrambling to meet margin calls.
Our European bank positions are a great example of this. They are not panic level cheap anymore, but they still sell at a discount to book value. This is the time to hold on until optimism and valuations reach a fever pitch. I am not a buyer right now, but I suspect it will be a long time before I even consider selling.
Some market sectors are seeing depressed level pricing. Among the worst are education stocks. As long as someone, somewhere, has a glimmer of hope for these stocks, then the sector is not at maximum pessimism. This industry has a buggy-whip feel to me. The business model is broken. It is too early to search for the few survivors in the group, and I suspect most of them will trade below net cash before it's all over.
The solar sector has also seen stock prices crash in a pretty dramatic fashion. I believe it is too early for solar to thrive as an industry. It will someday, but the technology must improve -- especially in the battery and storage part of the equation. Over the past three years, solar stock sector indices have fallen by about 40%, and I see no reason for them to recover sharply. I could be wrong, but until the industry can stand alone with tax breaks and subsidies, I do not think solar is a suitable area for most investors. A lot of money jumped into the sector when one of Warren Buffett's companies invested in solar projects, but those deals have huge tax breaks and subsidies attached to make them viable. I fully expect solar to provide a major percentage of our energy needs, but I think they will be in my children's homes, not mine.
Coal stocks are near a point of maximum pessimism. Competition from cheap natural gas and outright hostility form regulators have pushed coal demand lower over the past few years. Coal stocks were down about 25% last year and have declined for the past five years. I am long coal coming into this year, as I own shares of Arch Coal (ACI) at 60% of tangible book value. I am also hoping that we see additional selling so I can buy Peabody Energy (BTU) below book. Like it or not coal is part of our energy solution for decades to com. In addition, emerging markets, such as China and India, could care less what the EPA and other agencies think of coal. They just want cheap power.
When I scan commodity markets for maximum pessimism ideas I see one that just leaps out at me. Coffee prices have been terrible for not just one but the past two year. There is some excess supply in coffee but when viewed historically I am told inventories are actually on the low side of things. While commercial traders remain net long coffee, speculators are short at levels not seen since 2007. All the analysts are touting the strong Brazilian and Columbian crops and expect prices to stay week. This is my kind of maximum pessimism. Everyone seems to think markets are going in one direction and speculators are massively short. There is a coffee ETF, iPath DJ-UBS Coffee Total Return Sub-Index ETN (JO), and, although I am not really an ETF guy, I think I am going to take a little long position in this thing. Please focus on the word little. I am not by nature a commodities speculator, but coffee is closing in on multi-year lows and strikes me as being extraordinarily cheap. Still, I am just going to take a very small "hero or zero" position and treat it like an undated option.
There is not a lot of severe pessimism in market prices right now. Neither is there much excessive optimism priced in. It's a good time to do nothing until prices improve in either direction. Sit back and have a cup of coffee.

I'd be eternally grateful for help on this:
ASUS K8N (64 bit) motherboard is what I'm using. ATI Radeon 9200 128mb PCI is the graphics card.
So, my friend had a stick of RAM that he couldn't get to work on his computer, and he wanted me to see if it'd work in mine. So I put in the RAM, and turn my computer on, and my monitor won't come on, but everything boots fine.
So I take it out and tell him that I can't tell if it works because my monitor won't come on when it's in there. So I turn the computer back on, and the monitor still won't come on... which was very weird.
I thought maybe I forgot to plug something in correctly, so I checked, and it was all good.
I thought maybe something was wrong with my monitor, so I plugged the monitor into a different computer, and it worked fine. Tried it also in a laptop, and it worked fine. So, the monitor is not the problem.
I thought perhaps it was the graphics card port (the PCI slot), so I tried it in two other ones in the same computer, and it didn't work.
So I thought perhaps the card went bad. So, I went out and bought a ATI Radeon 9250 PCI 256mb card, and a GeForce 6800GT OverClocked 256mb AGP. Neither one of them will work, either.
So, I have NO idea what it could be. Does anyone have any input on what I could try, or what could be wrong? The computer turns on; I hear spinning, and my fans all work, etc. I'm just getting no signal to my monitor now for some awfully odd reason.
So, the only thing I can think of is that something is wrong on the motherboard. What do you guys think?

Shining a Light on Hepatitis and HIV
This article originally appeared on HIV.gov.
May is Hepatitis Awareness Month and May 19, 2018 was Hepatitis Testing Day. The Health Resources and Services Administration's (HRSA) Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) has a long-standing commitment to providing health care and support services for low-income people living with HIV (PLWH) who are coinfected with hepatitis C. RWHAP observes Hepatitis Awareness Month and Hepatitis Testing Day to highlight the importance of testing and treating people coinfected with HIV and viral hepatitis.
Partly fueled by the opioid epidemic, new hepatitis C infections more than tripled between 2010 and 2016. Although advances in HIV care and treatment result in longer life expectancy for PLWH, those who are coinfected with HIV and hepatitis C still have a high risk of liver-related illness and death. Viral hepatitis progresses faster and causes more liver-related health problems among people living with HIV than among those who do not have HIV. Approximately 25 percent of people living with HIV in the U.S. are co-infected.
Recent advances in treatment make it possible to win the fight against hepatitis C and save lives. A simple blood test can detect hepatitis C infection years before symptoms develop, and the recently FDA-approved treatment options for hepatitis C are a game-changer in the field of hepatitis C care and treatment. For the first time, persons infected with hepatitis C can be cured with all-oral, once-daily treatment regimens that last 8-24 weeks and have minimal side effects.
Experts recommend that all people living with HIV/HCV coinfection be tested for HCV and, if positive, considered for HCV treatment because being cured of HCV can prevent liver disease and liver cancer and greatly improve health outcomes.

It was the shared dream of Sam, Starr, and Chris that brought about the Videri Chocolate Factory. From the historic Raleigh Depot in downtown Raleigh, NC, the three operate a retail storefront, a factory floor, an outdoor café, and now a website where an animated collection of webfonts from H&Co helps them tell their story.
Finding a way to express the company's personality with typography was a top priority for the the team at PRPL, the digital creative agency tasked with creating the site. "I wanted to create a type system that felt friendly and organic, but also would feel at home in a factory setting," said George Kedenburg III, lead creative at PRPL.
Kedenburg chose a vivid collection of fonts for the project, relying not only upon hard-working ScreenSmart fonts for text, but some rare and unexpected choices for display typography. Verlag and Sentinel ScreenSmart are used throughout the site, while headlines feature a mix of our more exotic typefaces: the dazzling Landmark Inline and Dimensional, the textured Fell Types, and the rubber-stamped Indicia font from our Numbers collection.
PRPL assigned distinct roles to each typeface, and used the Cloud.typography character set panel to carefully control what each webfont includes. (The Indicia typeface is used for all the numbers on the site, from prices in the shopping cart to the digits of the company's phone number.) Refining each font's character set not only helps reinforce the site's brand guidelines, but helps keep webfonts lean, and quick to download. "That's something I don't think we've ever done, or thought would be worth doing," adds Kedenburg. —NW

Elect Good People
It's hard to believe it was less than two years ago when Gov. Andrew Cuomo sounded the trumpets over an ethics bill that would "end the dysfunction and corruption that has plagued Albany for far too long and bring integrity back to the halls of our Capitol."
Those very words rang out in emails to every newsroom in the state.
Imagine our surprise when emails began pouring into the newsroom last week saying state Sen. Malcolm Smith, a Democrat who represents a Queens district in New York City, was among a group of six people charged in a bribery scheme aimed at getting him the Republican nomination for mayor. Then, a couple of days later, emails poured in that state Assemblyman Eric Stevenson was being charged with corruption by prosecutors, with fellow Assemblyman Nelson Castro granted immunity from prosecution for helping to build the case against Stevenson. Castro then resigned his position.
So much for the "true independent monitor to investigate corruption" promised by the Clean Up Albany Act of 2011.
Cuomo is already starting a public push for tougher ethics laws, saying he will take the public's outrage over the latest ethical lapses in Albany to craft new ethics reform legislation. There is one recurring problem with ethics reform; the laws are always written by people who want to protect unethical behavior. Legislators know most of the ideas Cuomo is likely to propose and can easily find ways to circumvent it. Take, for example, the Joint Commission on Public Ethics, the jewel of Cuomo's toothless and ineffective 2011 ethics reform legislation. It only takes two of six legislators on the commission to vote against an investigation to stop a probe dead in its tracks. It didn't much work to take the teeth out of that particular piece of ethics reform.
Cuomo unveiled the first of his ethics reforms Tuesday. The Public Trust Act establishes a new class of public corruption crimes and expands the definitions of public corruption offenses. The law would also impose tougher jail sentences on individuals who misuse public funds and permanently bar those convicted of public corruption offenses from holding any elected or civil office, lobbying, contracting, receiving state funding, or doing business with the state, directly or through an organization.
It sounds wonderful on paper – but so have the last two attempts at ethics reform. We wonder why this time would be any different?
Karl Sleight, former state ethics board executive director, led the investigation into former state Comptroller Alan Hevesi and knows firsthand the difficulties in policing ethics in Albany.
"The larger issue is how to attract quality candidates with the right moral compass …" Sleight told the Associated Press.
Elect good people. That is a novel thought.

If you can't take your adversaries down with reason, there's only one left to do — hack their e-mail.
This apparently was the logic behind an unknown individual hacking and disseminating thousands of e-mails from a server used by the Climatic Research Unit of the University of East Anglia in Norwich, England. The CRU reported that all of the leaked e-mails appear to be real.
Climate change skeptics say the hacked e-mails reveal collusion among climate scientists to change and or withhold information that appears to weaken their arguments that the world is getting warmer due to higher concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
To tell you the truth, I'm not much for running with pilfered data in a news story, nor am I too enthused about depending on altered data either. But I do know this. We need to remove the hackers, politicians, pseudo-scientists and all-round wackos from the climate change debate. We need to tone down the climate change talk and press ahead with a genuine discussion of renewable energy.
Why worry about the potential impact of half a degree rise in global temperature? The bottom line is that we are currently relying too much on energy resources that are non-renewable. At some point, we will exhaust those resources. That's a fact, not a theory.
Secondly, the use of biomass, municipal waste and wind and solar energy will not only reduce the rate at which we are using up fossil fuels, but using these energy sources can significantly reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. That's two birds with one stone.
Unfortunately, shifting the debate to renewable energy will not mean an end to misinformation. For example, a recent study by Joe Fargione, a scientist for the Nature Conservancy, concludes that biofuel production releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than it eventually saves.
Fargione assumes that increasing biofuel production, primarily ethanol, will require more U.S. cropland, including CRP land, and ensuing cultivation will release so much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that it will offset the greenhouse-gas-reducing benefit of biofuel. There would also be an indirect effect around the world because other countries would have to bring more non-crop land into production to offset all the corn going to ethanol instead of food.
However, according to a policy brief prepared by the New Rules Project, which advocates rules and regulations that promote local self reliance, Fargione doesn't consider the fact that no-till crop production can sequester a significant amount of carbon, possibly as much as CRP land can.
Secondly, he doesn't consider the huge increases in yields that agricultural technology has seen over the last decade. Higher yields will reduce the land requirement.
There's much more on the subject in the brief. You can find it at Ethanol and Land Use Changes.

Jenny Sanford not running
CHARLESTON, S.C. — Former South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford says she will not run for an open congressional seat.
Sanford told reporters Monday in Charleston that her job as a mother is more rewarding and important than going to Congress.
Story Continued Below
Sanford had said earlier she would look at running for the seat, which was left vacant when Gov. Nikki Haley appointed former congressman Tim Scott to an empty U.S. Senate seat. That Senate seat was left empty when Jim DeMint resigned.
( PHOTOS: Jim DeMint's career)
Had she run, it likely would have set up a race between her and her ex-husband, former Gov. Mark Sanford. The former governor has not officially announced he is running, but he has campaign money and was looking for office space in Charleston last week.
Mark Sanford held the open 1st District seat before becoming governor in 2003.

Is Lakewood a snoozefest? And if so, is that such a bad thing? Maybe cities that one thinks of as boring at 18 are ideal at 45 or 65? It may too just be how one defines boring.
Last week real estate site movoto.com ranked the suburban city near Long Beach as the most boring city in California, "a veritable dead zone of fun adrift in the alphabet soup of cities comprising the Los Angeles metro sprawl."
Lakewood may be No. 1, but other area cities are in the Top 10: West Covina is No. 3, Alhambra No. 4, Ontario No. 7 and Carson No. 10.
The ratings were based on a number of factors including: live music venues, so-called active life options, fast food restaurants and restaurants and nightlife per capita. Also considered was the percentage of residents aged 20 to 34. And bam, of all the cities, Lakewood climbed up the charts.
What movoto.com doesn't consider is safety, community events, art galleries or other indicators of what makes a full and interesting life for some.
But maybe you agree. Are there things cities on the list should do to be more fun?
Does that mean old folks are boring? Is Lakewood dull? Are those other Southern California cities dull? Or maybe your city is? What makes a town a drag? Do you have stories of the city that you live in?
Notice, as we did, the dearth of Northern California cities on the list — Modesto is the only remotely Northern place. Guess where Movoto is headquartered? Right — San Mateo. But have you ever been in Los Altos or Danville of a Saturday night?
What makes a city drab or exciting? Is it the people or the activities? Do you really need organized venues to have events to be a popping town or can you just have a lively party in the back of a house with friends and family?
Some people argue that keeping cities interesting for the young is an important way to keep crime down.
We want to hear your ideas about what makes a city interesting and what responsibility the city has in creating venues of entertainment.

(n) a hypothetical list of people that no one in a certain group would ever intentionally call
Apparently, I accidentally signed up for the female Do Not Call List years ago, and that's why I have nothing better to do than sit on my ass posting Urban Dictionary entries.
by BeardedFatass May 18, 2004
A list made by the government that you get put on to keep those damn telemarketing companies from harrassing the shit out of you. one of the best ideas (if not the ONLY one) that this government has come up with lately.
The Do Not Call List is every telemarketer's nightmare.
by Laird December 09, 2003
One of the better things Bush has done during his administration. And don't give me that "freedom of speech" bullshit you pansy-licking cock-suckers. The whole reason why it was enacted is because telemarketers are too fucking stupid to understand the basic concept of that if I want something, I'll simply go out and buy it myself, and I don't need you overweight highschool dropout slimeballs ringing me eleven times a day to sell me piano lessons for my children or health insurance courtesy of transmarketglobalmegacorporationsIncorporated.
Thank you, President Bush, for helping me get rid of these inane asshats who don't realize that I don't have the money to buy their stupid shit or give to their retarded political causes.

the list most telemarketers call when they are bored
telemarketer 1: dood, i'm fucking bored
telemarketer 2: me too...oh i know, lets call that 'do not call list' and fuck w/ the idiots on it!

The names and #'s that telemarketers take down when the customer is rude and nasty about the call. Many times a drunk telemarketer will take these lists out and prank with their friends.
"I told YOU people to stop calling! Put me on you Do Not Call List!"
No problem sir...
Later that night---
May I speak with Mr. ****?

Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art has announced that it has acquired the Bachman Wilson House, designed in the 1950s by Frank Lloyd Wright, and plans to move it to its facility in Bentonville, Ark. The restored house, which is located in Somerset County, N.J., was placed on the market in 2012 by its owners after it was periodically damaged by flooding of the nearby Millstone River. Numerous architectural experts have concluded that moving the house offers its best hope for long-term survival.
One of Wright's celebrated Usonian houses, the Bachman Wilson House will be transported 1,200 miles by J.B. Hunt, an Arkansas carrier, at no charge. The sellers, architects Lawrence and Sharon Tarentino, have agreed to supervise the dismantling and packing process.
The 200,000-sf Crystal Bridges Museum was founded by Alice Walton, who is the daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton. It opened in 2011 in a facility designed by Moshe Safdie. Terms of the purchase were not disclosed, though the market price was $1.5 million.
"We're honored to be able to preserve and share this significant example of American architecture, as Frank Lloyd Wright's work embodies our own mission of celebrating art and nature," Rod Bigelow, Crystal Bridges executive director, said in a statement.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy is on record as supporting the move. "Facing a difficult dilemma after upstream construction and water 'management' projects contributed to a repeated untenable flood hazard for their property … the Tarantinos reluctantly concluded that the house required relocation," Janet Halstead, executive director of the conservancy, said in a statement.
The relocation is expected to be complete by early 2015.
