You probably know what a vector space is. It's what is sounds like: a space of vectors, that you can add together, or multiply by scalars (that is, real numbers, or more generally, elements of some field k). Here's the official definition:
An additive (or Abelian) group is a set with a binary operation called addition, such that
- addition is associative: x+(y+z) = (x+y)+z
- addition is commutative: x+y = y+x
- there is an additive identity: x+0 = x = 0+x
- there are additive inverses: x+(-x) = 0 = (-x)+x
A vector space over a field k is an additive group V, together with an operation k * V -> V called scalar multiplication, such that:
- scalar multiplication distributes over vector addition: a(x+y) = ax+ay
- scalar multiplication distributes over scalar addition: (a+b)x = ax+bx
- associativity: (ab)x = a(bx)
- unit: 1a = a
There are some obvious examples:
- R^2 is a 2-dimensional vector space over the reals R, R^3 is a 3-dimensional vector space. (I'm not going to define dimension quite yet, but hopefully it's intuitively obvious what it means.)
- R^n is an R-vector space for any n.
- Indeed, k^n is a k-vector space for any field k.
Some slightly more interesting examples:
- C is a 2-dimensional vector space over R. (The reason it's more interesting is that of course C possesses additional algebraic structure, beyond the vector space structure.)
- 2*2 matrices over k form a 4-dimensional k-vector space.
- Polynomials in X with coefficients in k form an (infinite dimensional) k-vector space.
If we wanted to code the above definition into Haskell, probably the first idea that would come to mind would be to use type classes:
class AddGrp a where
add :: a -> a -> a
zero :: a
neg :: a -> a -- additive inverse
class (Field k, AddGrp v) => VecSp k v where
smult :: k -> v -> v -- scalar multiplication
(Type classes similar to these are defined are in the vector-space package.)
For most vector spaces that one encounters in "real life", there is some set of elements, usually obvious, which form a "basis" for the vector space, meaning that all elements can be expressed as linear combinations of basis elements. For example, in R^3, the obvious basis is {(0,0,1), (0,1,0), (1,0,0)}. Any element (x,y,z) of R^3 can be expressed as the linear combination x(1,0,0)+y(0,1,0)+z(0,0,1).
(Mathematicians would want to stress that there are other bases for R^3 that would serve equally well, and indeed, that a significant part of the theory of vector spaces can go through without even talking about bases. However, for our purposes - we want to write code to calculate in vector spaces - then working with a basis is natural.)
Okay, so we want a way to build a vector space from a basis. (More specifically, a k-vector space, for some given field k.) What sorts of things shall we allow as our basis? Well, why not just allow any type, whatsoever:
module Math.Algebras.VectorSpace where
import qualified Data.List as L
data Vect k b = V [(b,k)] deriving (Eq,Ord)
This says that a k-vector space over basis b consists of a linear combination of elements of b. (So the [(b,k)] is to be thought of as a sum, with each (b,k) pair representing a basis element in b multiplied by a scalar coefficient in k.)
For example, we can define the "boring basis" type, which just consists of numbered basis elements:
newtype EBasis = E Int deriving (Eq,Ord)
instance Show EBasis where show (E i) = "e" ++ show i
e i = return (E i) -- don't worry about what "return" is doing here for the moment
e1 = e 1
e2 = e 2
e3 = e 3
Then a typical element of Vect Double EBasis is:
> :load Math.Algebras.VectorSpace
So of course, the Show instances for EBasis (see above), and Vect k b (not shown) are coming into play here.
How do we know that this is a vector space? Well actually, it's not yet, because we haven't defined the addition and scalar multiplication operations on it. So, without further ado:
infixr 7 *>
infixl 6 <+>
-- |The zero vector
zero :: Vect k b
zero = V []
-- |Addition of vectors
add :: (Ord b, Num k) => Vect k b -> Vect k b -> Vect k b
add (V ts) (V us) = V $ addmerge ts us
-- |Addition of vectors (same as add)
(<+>) :: (Ord b, Num k) => Vect k b -> Vect k b -> Vect k b
(<+>) = add
addmerge ((a,x):ts) ((b,y):us) =
case compare a b of
LT -> (a,x) : addmerge ts ((b,y):us)
EQ -> if x+y == 0 then addmerge ts us else (a,x+y) : addmerge ts us
GT -> (b,y) : addmerge ((a,x):ts) us
addmerge ts [] = ts
addmerge [] us = us
-- |Negation of vector
neg :: (Num k) => Vect k b -> Vect k b
neg (V ts) = V $ map (\(b,x) -> (b,-x)) ts
-- |Scalar multiplication (on the left)
smultL :: (Num k) => k -> Vect k b -> Vect k b
smultL 0 _ = zero -- V []
smultL k (V ts) = V [(ei,k*xi) | (ei,xi) <- ts]
-- |Same as smultL. Mnemonic is "multiply through (from the left)"
(*>) :: (Num k) => k -> Vect k b -> Vect k b
(*>) = smultL
A few things to mention:
- First, note that we required a Num instance for k. Strictly speaking, as we stated that k is a field, then we should have required a Fractional instance. However, on occasion we are going to break the rules slightly.
- Second, note that for addition, we required an Ord instance for b. We could have defined addition using (++) to concatenate linear combinations - however, the problem with that is that it wouldn't then easily follow that e1+e3 = e3+e1, or that e1+e1 = 2e1. By requiring an Ord instance, we can guarantee that there is a unique normal form in which to express any vector - namely, list the basis elements in order, combine duplicates, remove zero coefficients.
- Finally, note that I didn't define Vect k b as an instance of a vector space type class. That's just because I didn't yet see a reason to.
It will turn out to be useful to have a function that can take an arbitrary element of Vect k b and return a vector in normal form:
-- |Convert an element of Vect k b into normal form. Normal form consists in having the basis elements in ascending order,
-- with no duplicates, and all coefficients non-zero
nf :: (Ord b, Num k) => Vect k b -> Vect k b
nf (V ts) = V $ nf' $ L.sortBy compareFst ts where
nf' ((b1,x1):(b2,x2):ts) =
case compare b1 b2 of
LT -> if x1 == 0 then nf' ((b2,x2):ts) else (b1,x1) : nf' ((b2,x2):ts)
EQ -> if x1+x2 == 0 then nf' ts else nf' ((b1,x1+x2):ts)
GT -> error "nf': not pre-sorted"
nf' [(b,x)] = if x == 0 then [] else [(b,x)]
nf' [] = []
compareFst (b1,x1) (b2,x2) = compare b1 b2
Okay, so we ought to check that the Vect k b is a vector space. Let's write some QuickCheck properties:
prop_AddGrp (x,y,z) =
x <+> (y <+> z) == (x <+> y) <+> z && -- associativity
x <+> y == y <+> x && -- commutativity
x <+> zero == x && -- identity
x <+> neg x == zero -- inverse
prop_VecSp (a,b,x,y,z) =
prop_AddGrp (x,y,z) &&
a *> (x <+> y) == a *> x <+> a *> y && -- distributivity through vectors
(a+b) *> x == a *> x <+> b *> x && -- distributivity through scalars
(a*b) *> x == a *> (b *> x) && -- associativity
1 *> x == x -- unit
instance Arbitrary EBasis where
arbitrary = do n <- arbitrary :: Gen Int
return (E n)
instance Arbitrary Q where
arbitrary = do n <- arbitrary :: Gen Integer
d <- arbitrary :: Gen Integer
return (if d == 0 then fromInteger n else fromInteger n / fromInteger d)
instance Arbitrary (Vect Q EBasis) where
arbitrary = do ts <- arbitrary :: Gen [(EBasis, Q)]
return $ nf $ V ts
prop_VecSpQn (a,b,x,y,z) = prop_VecSp (a,b,x,y,z)
where types = (a,b,x,y,z) :: (Q, Q, Vect Q EBasis, Vect Q EBasis, Vect Q EBasis)
> quickCheck prop_VecSpQn
+++ OK, passed 100 tests.
(I'm using Q instead of R as my field in order to avoid false negatives caused by the fact that arithmetic in Double is not exact.)
So it looks like Vect k b is indeed a vector space. In category theory, it is called the free k-vector space over b. "Free" here means that there are no relations among the basis elements: it will never turn out, for example, that e1 = e2+e3.
Vector spaces of course form a category, specifically an algebraic category (there are other types, as we'll see in due course). The objects in the category are the vector spaces. The arrows or morphisms in the category are the functions between vector spaces which "commute" with the algebraic structure. Specifically, they are the functions f such that:
- f(x+y) = f(x)+f(y)
- f(0) = 0
- f(-x) = -f(x)
- f(a.x) = a.f(x)
Such a function is called linear, the idea being that it preserves lines. This is because it follows from the the conditions that f(a.x+b.y) = a.f(x)+b.f(y) .
We can write a QuickCheck property to check whether a given function is linear:
prop_Linear f (a,x,y) =
f (x <+> y) == f x <+> f y &&
f zero == zero &&
f (neg x) == neg (f x) &&
f (a *> x) == a *> f x
prop_LinearQn f (a,x,y) = prop_Linear f (a,x,y)
where types = (a,x,y) :: (Q, Vect Q EBasis, Vect Q EBasis)
For example:
> quickCheck (prop_LinearQn (2 *>))
+++ OK, passed 100 tests.
We won't need to use this quite yet, but it's handy to have around.
Now, in category theory we have the concept of a functor, which is a map from one category to another, which commutes with the category structure. Specifically, a functor F consists of a map from the objects of one category to the objects of the other, and from the arrows of one category to the arrows of the other, satisfying:
- F(id_A) = id_F(A)
- F(f . g) = F(f) . F(g) (where dot denotes function composition)
How does this relate to the Functor type class in Haskell? Well, the Haskell type class enables us to declare that a /type constructor/ is a functor. For example, (Vect k) is a type constructor, which acts on a type b to construct another type Vect k b. (Vect k) is indeed a functor, witness the following declaration:
instance Functor (Vect k) where
fmap f (V ts) = V [(f b, x) | (b,x) <- ts]
This says that if we have a function f on our basis elements, then we can lift it to a function on linear combinations of basis elements in the obvious way.
In mathematics, we would think of the free vector space construction as a functor from Set (the category of sets) to k-Vect (the category of k-vector spaces). In Haskell, we need to think of the (Vect k) construction slightly differently. It operates on types, rather than sets, so the source category is Hask, the category of Haskell types.
What is the relationship between Hask and Set? Well, if we identify a type with the set of values which inhabit it, then we can regard Hask as a subcategory of Set, consisting of those sets and functions which can be represented in Haskell. (That would imply for example that we are restricted to computable functions.)
So (Vect k) is a functor from Hask to the subcategory of k-Vect consisting of vector spaces over sets/types in Hask.
So just to spell it out, the (Vect k) functor:
- Takes an object b in Hask/Set - ie a type, or its set of inhabitants - to an object Vect k b in k-Vect
- Takes an arrow f in Hask (ie a function f :: a -> b), to an arrow (fmap f) :: Vect k a -> Vect k b in k-Vect.
Now, there's just one small fly in the ointment. In order to get equality of vectors to work out right, we wanted to insist that they were expressed in normal form, which meant we needed an Ord instance for b. However, in the Functor instance for (Vect k), Haskell doesn't let us express this constraint, and our fmap is unable to use the Ord instance for b. What this means is that fmap f might return a vector which is not in normal form - so we need to remember to call nf afterwards. For example:
newtype FBasis = F Int deriving (Eq,Ord)
instance Show FBasis where show (F i) = "f" ++ show i
> let f = \(E i) -> F (10 - div i 2)
> let f' = fmap f :: Vect Q EBasis -> Vect Q FBasis
> f' (e1 <+> 2 *> e2 <+> e3)
> let f'' = nf . fmap f :: Vect Q EBasis -> Vect Q FBasis
> f'' (e1 <+> 2 *> e2 <+> e3)
So it might be fairer to say that it is the combination of nf and fmap that forms the functor on arrows.
The definition of a functor requires that the target arrow is an arrow in the target category. In this case, the requirement is that it is a linear function, rather than just any function between vector spaces. So let's just check:
> quickCheck (prop_LinearQn f'')
+++ OK, passed 100 tests.
That's enough for now - more next time.

There's never been a better time
to apply to Otterbein University.
Apply online today!
Among only a few academic equine centers nationally to be housed within an urban environment, the Austin E. Knowlton Center for Equine Science provides an important academic, economic, and recreational resource to the community, the region, the equine industry, and our outstanding students.
The Knowlton Center contains classrooms, faculty and staff office space, a large indoor riding arena suitable for regional and national equestrian competitions, night caretaker quarters, reception and spectator seating, and stalls for 52 horses. Situated on approximately 70 acres in a pristine setting in the heart of the Westerville residential community, the Knowlton Center is surrounded by pasture and paddocks with turnout sheds. Only two miles from the main Otterbein University campus, the Center provides easy access to students and faculty and projects Otterbein visibly into the community.
Our facility also serves as a demonstration project committed to "best practices" in equine management techniques. It is an educational facility open to the equine industry and the local public and provides an avenue for Otterbein involvement in the community. The Department of Equine Science strives to be model custodians of green space. Neighbor-friendly and environmentally-friendly approaches to management are emphasized.
The Knowlton Center serves as a public resource to all in Ohio. Pasture, manure, and water quality management along with the application of sound environmental and facility management practices distinguish the Center from typical stables.
Large rooms were custom-built around the barn wings for tack and blanket storage, medical supplies, laundry facilities, and feed. There are also indoor wash and grooming stalls, as well as a separate area for veterinarian and farrier services.
The property also includes all-weather paddocks, large grass paddocks with run-in sheds, wood fencing surrounding acres of pasture, and ample parking for cars and trailers.

AURORA, Colo.—A man arrested for bank robbery after a controversial traffic stop in Aurora has reached a plea deal.
The Aurora Sentinel reports ( http://bit.ly/12dpbPR) a change of plea hearing for Christian Paetsch is scheduled for Jan. 24. The terms of the deal haven't been released.
Paetsch, accused of robbing an Aurora bank June 2, is expected to plead guilty to armed bank robbery and use of a weapon in the commission of a crime of violence.
A federal judge has ruled that police were justified in stopping 20 cars at a stoplight and ordering innocent bystanders out of their cars at gunpoint in their search for a suspect. Stacks of money stolen from the bank contained a GPS tracking device, but officers couldn't immediately pinpoint its location among the vehicles.

Create your own Terastation cross toolchain
Note: If you want a nice structured build environment, try the ELDK instead.
- Get prepared with the appropriate files:
- Crosstool v. 0.42 Crosstool Website. Extract this to a working location.
- A kernel config file from the Linkstation Wiki site. Put this file in the crosstools directory.
- Create a powerpc-603e.dat file in the crosstools directory:
- KERNELCONFIG=`pwd`/powerpc-603e.config
- TARGET=powerpc-603e-linux-gnu
- TARGET_CFLAGS="-O -mcpu=603e"
- GCC_EXTRA_CONFIG="--with-cpu=603e --enable-cxx-flags=-mcpu=603e"
- Create a build shell script in the crosstools directory:
- #!/bin/sh
- set -ex
- TARBALLS_DIR=/tmp/downloads
- RESULT_TOP=/opt/crosstool
- export TARBALLS_DIR RESULT_TOP
- #GCC_LANGUAGES="c,c++,java"
- GCC_LANGUAGES="c,c++"
- export GCC_LANGUAGES
- # Really, you should do the mkdir before running this,
- # and chown /opt/crosstool to yourself so you don't need to run as root.
- # mkdir -p $RESULT_TOP
- # Build the toolchain. Takes a couple hours and a couple gigabytes.
- eval `cat powerpc-603e.dat gcc-3.3.6-glibc-2.3.2.dat` sh all.sh --notest
- echo Done.
- A couple of things to note here. The Terastation stock gcc/glibc is 3.3.1/2.3.2. The gcc crossbuild #:of 3.3.1 requires a couple of extra patches to compile and 3.3.6 compiles cleanly. It's unlikely #:that something would specifically require 3.3.1 so I used 3.3.6.
- Also, note that the java language is not built. It does not compile without error in the crossbuild. #:It's probably trivial to get it to compile, I just quit trying because I don't currently have a use #:for it. If you get it to compile, please post the patch here.
- Start the Build
- First create the /opt/crosstools directory and make sure your compiling user (hopefully not root) has #:access to write files there, then:
- ./powerpc-603e.sh
- (Go have a beer, or six. This will take awhile. On my 1.4 GHz machine, it takes roughly 4 hours #:(hey, just be happy you're not building it on your wimpy TS). It will use about 2 GB of disk space #:as well.)
- First create the /opt/crosstools directory and make sure your compiling user (hopefully not root) has #:access to write files there, then:

Using a 3rd party Cross Toolchain
Recently, I've been using the Embedded Linux Development Kit toolchain from Denx Software Engineering. This is a FREE cross-platform toolchain with support for a number of target CPUs (including the PPC 603e in the Terastation). The complete system is managed by RPM, including the cross-build process. The base toolchain comes with quite a few "ready to install" RPMs for your target platform.
I'm using the 3.1.1-2005-06-07 version as it most closely matches the libraries already on the Terastation.

Building code on the Terastation using Gentoo
This is a quick and dirty way to get a working gcc build environment on the Terastation itself.
Due to the size of the Gentoo base layout, we don't want to do this on the root filesystem, or we'll fill it up. The easiest thing to do is create a new shared folder called (for example) gentoo under /mnt/array1.
Download the 2004.1 stage3 ppc tarball from one of the Gentoo Mirrors. You will need to look in the releases/historical/ppc/2004.1/stages/ppc/ directory for stage3-ppc-2004.1.tar.bz2. Put this in the gentoo folder.
cd /mnt/array1/gentoo tar xpjvf stage3-ppc-2004.1.tar.bz2 mount -t proc proc ./proc
Copy some files over:
cp /etc/fstab etc cp /etc/passwd etc cp /etc/group etc cp /etc/resolv.conf etc cp /etc/hosts etc
Now chroot into the Gentoo environment:
bin/chroot . /bin/bash source /etc/profile
At this point, you should have access to gcc, nano, ssh, and a host of other useful tools - certainly enough to download tarballs and build applications. I've succeeded in building unfs3, openssh, and a bunch of other apps this way. Note that anything you build must either be run from inside the chroot'd environment, OR you must resolve any additional library dependencies by copying new required libs into /lib on the real root filesystem.
I did try unsuccessfully to get the whole Gentoo portage system working - which would be pretty sweet, but I kept running into problems which I think are due to the 2004.1 release being so old. Unfortunately later versions of the stage3 tarball don't work because its libs are designed to work with a 2.6 kernel.

Whenever Belmont and Lipscomb play, regardless of the sport or the standings, it is always an emotional event.
Tuesday night's women's version of the "Battle of the Boulevard" was no exception as the Lady Bisons fought back from several deficits before losing 72-64 Tuesday night Atlantic Sun-leading Belmont at Allen Arena. The game was also televised live on CSS.
"We did a lot of good things for about 35 minutes or so," said Lipscomb Coach Frank Bennett. "We had our lowest turnovers of the season. We out-rebounded them. But we got ourselves into a hole we couldn't dig out of."
The game started out close in the first eight minutes, but in the final minutes of the first half Belmont's Bruins started pulling away for the first time in the game.
"Both teams are pretty motivated no matter what the records are," said Bennett. "We were really into it. I think they were, too. That is what a rivalry is."
At 10:05 Belmont took a 10-point lead (19-9) on a 3-pointer by Jenny Conkle. The Lady Bisons would pull within five points at 20-15 with 7:02 on the clock on a pair of free throws from center Katie Beth Pate.
With 4:10 left before intermission the Lady Bisons cut the lead to three points at 24-21 on a 3-point shot by guard Karli Osborn. The Bruins pulled ahead by six, but a 3-point shot from Lipscomb forward Keirstin Head again cut Belmont's lead to three at 27-24 with 2:32 remaining.
Belmont went on a 14-5 run to close out the half, leading 41-32.
"We just didn't finish the half very well," said Bennett.
In the second half Belmont stayed in control in the opening minutes opening up the first of two 17-point leads at 7:14 at 59-42 on a pair of free throws from Alysha Clark.
The biggest lead for Belmont was 20 points, 62-42, at 6:23 on a 3-pointer by Conkle.
The Lady Bisons refused to go away, going on a 15-5 run in the final 3:57 of the game.
Pate led the Lady Bisons with 19 points and 10 rebounds for a double-double. Guard Dana Carrigan and forward Miriam McAlister each added 10 points.
"Katie Beth played like she is able to because she was feeling well," said Bennett. "She was working hard with the ball. Except for one little stretch she was really finishing well."
Clark shot a game-high 25 points and also added a game-high 17 rebounds for a double-double. Tonisha Jones scored 14 points followed by Conkle with 13 and Destri Bockey with 11.
"I thought we played Clark reasonably well a lot of the game, but she can hurt you in so many ways," said Bennett. "She is really strong and quick. She has skills with both hands."
The Lady Bisons shot 39.3 percent from the field. Belmont shot 44.6 percent.
The Lady Bisons are 6-20, 4-14 in the A-Sun. Belmont is 20-6, 16-3 in the conference.

The Thai Post is a division of the Communications Authority of Thailand, a state enterprise under the Ministry of Transport and Communications.
Thai Post is composed of more than 23,000 employees, and operates more than 1,200 post offices throughout Thailand. Its revenue for FY1999 was 6 billion Baht, an increase from FY1998 of 5.7 billion Baht.
In 1999, the Thai Post delivered more than 1.1 billion domestic letters, 96 million international letters, 8.3 million domestic parcels and 340,000 international parcels.
The Thai Post decided to upgrade the overall performance of its post offices nationwide and to increase the efficiency of the control system in the headquarters. With a total investment of 1,955 million Baht, the integrated postal counter automation system will upgrade all 1,200 postal offices by 2001.
This is a radical change for the Thai Post and for all citizens of Thailand, since counter services in the past were primarily operated manually.

I thought I would see and hear some references to Glenn Beck at Thursday's Tea Party here in Joplin, since many of the ideas tossed around at such gatherings seem to first originate in his strange and lucre-loving mind.
But that didn't happen.
Then, I realized that the spirit of Glenn Beck was there all around me: in the form of a book.
That book, The 5000 Year Leap, by W. Cleon Skousen, was available for free (courtesy of the Jasper County Republican Party), with copies spread along the table holding the "scroll of grievances."
John Putnam said the book, which he "found" in 1984, had "inspired" him.
Beck has endlessly and energetically promoted the book, which, according to Alexander Zaitchik, has become "the bible of the 9/12 movement," "the civic initiative he pulled together…to restore America to the sense of purpose and unity it had felt the day after the towers fell."
The popular Fox broadcaster has even claimed the book is "divinely inspired," although Beck doesn't specify what divine being inspired it. Presumably, it was the God of Mormonism.
So, since our local Republican Party subsidized the distribution of the book, and since our local Joplin Tea Partiers were urged to read the book—and I saw many folks walking around with fresh copies in hand—I thought I would find out more about the author, especially since the Tea Party movement is heavily influenced by Beck-like thinkers.
Who was W. Cleon Skousen?
Perusing Alexander Zaitchik's essay on Salon.com, I discovered that Skousen shared Glenn Beck's Mormon faith, and that he was ostensibly a "historian." But as Zaitchik described him,
…Skousen was not a historian so much as a player in the history of the American far right; less a scholar of the republic than a threat to it. At least, that was the judgment of J. Edgar Hoover's FBI, which maintained a file on Skousen for years that eventually totaled some 2,000 pages. Before he died in 2006 at the age of 92, Skousen's own Mormon church publicly distanced itself from the foundation that Skousen founded and that has published previous editions of "The 5,000 Year Leap."
Skousen died in 2006 at the age of 92, the author of more than dozen books; a 15-year veteran of the FBI (in administration); a law school grad; a teacher at Brigham Young University; Chief of Police in Salt Lake City (where, according to Zaitchik, "he gained a reputation for cutting crime and ruthlessly enforcing Mormon morals" and, according to a 1961 article in Time, the conservative Mayor of the city said Skousen, "operated the police department like a Gestapo"); and most important for our purposes, a virulent anti-communist conspiracist, who earned a good living giving speeches to far-right gatherings.
As an anti-Communist, Skousen was affiliated with the John Birch Society, whose elaborate communist conspiracies proved too much for men of the right like William F. Buckley, who sought to sever the Birchers from "legitimate" conservatives. In those days, there were adults in the conservative movement, and when Skousen and the Birchers grew more and more extreme—accusing WW II hero Dwight Eisenhower of being a "dedicated, conscious agent of the Communist conspiracy"—most responsible conservative groups dumped him. Buckley said such accusations were "paranoid and idiotic libels."* Russell Kirk, an eminent conservative philosopher, viewed such people as being "disconnected from reality." Barry Goldwater concurred.
Wrote Zaitchik:
By 1963, Skousen's extremism was costing him. No conservative organization with any mainstream credibility wanted anything to do with him. Members of the ultraconservative American Security Council kicked him out because they felt he had "gone off the deep end." One ASC member who shared this opinion was William C. Mott, the judge advocate general of the U.S. Navy. Mott found Skousen "money mad … totally unqualified and interested solely in furthering his own personal ends."
Damn. That sounds a lot like Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and other right-wing conspiracists these days.
Zaitchik also wrote something about Skousen's increasing popularity that again sounds eerily like our own Glenn Beck, whose "enemy" is not so much communism, but progressivism:
When Skousen's books started popping up in the nation's high-school classrooms, panicked school board officials wrote the FBI asking if Skousen was reliable. The Bureau's answer was an exasperated and resounding "no." One 1962 FBI memo notes, "During the past year or so, Skousen has affiliated himself with the extreme right-wing 'professional communists' who are promoting their own anticommunism for obvious financial purposes."
By 1970, Zaitchik reports that Skousen had discovered that "liberal internationalist groups" like the Council on Foreign Relations were pushing U.S. foreign policy "toward the establishment of a world-wide collectivist society," which would later become the New World Order, a "super-conspiracy" involving the Rockefellers and the Rothchilds and other very "powerful" people.
Eventually, the Mormon Church cut its ties with Skousen, which was just in time for his invitation to become part of the "Reagan Revolution." Zaitchik wrote:
In 1980, Skousen was appointed to the newly founded Council for National Policy, a think tank that brought together leading religious conservatives and served as the unofficial brain trust of the new administration. At the Council, Skousen distinguished himself by becoming an early proponent of privatizing Social Security.
It was around this time that Skousen published the book that changed the life of Glenn Beck, The 5,000 Year Leap, which Zaitchik described this way:
…a heavily illustrated and factually challenged attempt to explain American history through an unspoken lens of Mormon theology. As such, it is an early entry in the ongoing attempt by the religious right to rewrite history. Fundamentalists want to define the United States as a Christian nation rather than a secular republic, and recast the Founding Fathers as devout Christians guided by the Bible rather than deists inspired by French and English philosophers. "Leap" argues that the U.S. Constitution is a godly document above all else, based on natural law, and owes more to the Old and New Testaments than to the secular and radical spirit of the Enlightenment. It lists 28 fundamental beliefs — based on the sayings and writings of Moses, Jesus, Cicero, John Locke, Montesquieu and Adam Smith — that Skousen says have resulted in more God-directed progress than was achieved in the previous 5,000 years of every other civilization combined.
So, learning all of that, I realized that Glenn Beck was in fact a part of the Joplin Tea Party, through the vehicle of W. Cleon Skousen's book. And I realized what attracted John Putnam, the chairman of the Jasper County Republican Central Committee, to Skousen's interpretation of American history.
Putnam is a conservative Christian, who when I first encountered him, was an elder at Christ's Church of Joplin, and who was a believer in the Bible as the "inspired" and inerrant Word of God.
He said at the Tea Party on Thursday:
I see a real similarity between the days we live in and the founding days of this country. I realized at least in 1978 that America was on an unsustainable path. We have continued to spend more than we take in, we have continued to turn our back—to become more interested in commercialism and entertainment and luxury than we have the spiritual values that made this country great. And my family's tired of listening to me say we can't go on this way, but in the last year there is a whole lot of other people who have seen that the pace is accelerating and it is up to the people to restore the country…
I suspect that many in the crowd Thursday hold views similar to those of Mr. Putnam. Indeed, Jay St. Clair, the minister who uttered a rambling four-minute plea to the Almighty, began his remarks this way:
Welcome to the Tea Party! Well, this isn't a religious gathering but I will tell you that everything about our country was founded on the faith of God and the principles that are found in his Word…
Such folks don't want to admit that our secular country—the United States of America—was not founded on the Bible, but on Enlightenment philosophy, a philosophy that was responsible for taming the excesses of fundamentalist Christianity, and a philosophy that is under attack, either consciously or unconsciously, by some members of the Tea Party movement.
If these people were to get what they wanted—a return to "God-directed" governance—then the Tea Partiers would no longer be mere objects of liberal scorn.
They would be forces to fear.
*In 1962, Buckley published "a 5,000-word excoriation" of Robert Welch, the founder of the John Birch Society, which included the following:
How can the John Birch Society be an effective political instrument while it is led by a man whose views on current affairs are, at so many critical points . . . so far removed from common sense? That dilemma weighs on conservatives across America. . . . The underlying problem is whether conservatives can continue to acquiesce quietly in a rendition of the causes of the decline of the Republic and the entire Western world which is false, and, besides that, crucially different in practical emphasis from their own.

"The opening of the film is quite different from what you would expect from the opening, I think, of a Star Trek film. It starts off in the hospital and you're kind of like-wait, am I in the right theater? What is this? Where the heck am I? And that's intentional. We really wanted to give the audience a distance from the characters. Not speak too plainly about what it is that they're doing, what's going on, the music isn't commenting too much about what's happening. But the idea was to get across that - what you see in front of you, is what you see in front of you, but there's something much bigger going on behind the scenes. And what is that? I don't know yet. We don't know. But it's growing, and it's evolving, in a way in which Star Trek music really traditionally doesn't really do. It's a slightly different way to approach it."
There's some more at the link. [First Showing]
Iron Man 3
Former Rubicon star James Badge Dale offers this concise explanation of how his character Eric Savin, alias Coldblood, fits into the movie's villainous hierarchy:
"Ben Kingsley (The Mandarin) is the mouthpiece. Guy Pearce (Aldrich Killian) is the brain. I'm the muscle."
The Amazing Spider-Man 2
Django Unchained star Jamie Foxx talks some more about his costume as the villainous Electro:
It won't be green and yellow. It will be a different color. They (the producers) want something for the future. They want to have it more grounded and not as comic book-y, so it won't be green and yellow. They want to try new things, like a liquid rubber and things like that, and there are all these bolts and stuff in my arms when they are hanging me upside down and trying to figure out what happen. How did he become this way? So, it will be some new stuff. In the script, this villain is the first time it's been written really, really well. Andrew Garfield and Marc Webb both commented on how great the script is, so it should be an exciting time.
Vin Diesel's third Riddick movie officially has a release date: September 6, 2013. The film will be released in both IMAX and standard formats on that date. Here's a new photo of Diesel as Riddick alongside director David Twohy to commemorate the news, as verily all Riddick announcements do require some form of official commemoration. [Shock Till You Drop]
Jupiter Ascending
We know that the Wachowskis' insane-sounding sci-fi epic stars Magic Mike's Channing Tatum and Forgetting Sarah Marshall's Mila Kunis, and that it is "set in a time where humans are at the bottom of the evolutionary ladder and follows a woman who has been targeted for assassination by the queen of the universe." We might also now know the identity of another cast member, as My Week with Marilyn and Les Miserables actor Eddie Redmayne is reportedly up for an unknown supporting role. [Variety]
Oz the Great and Powerful
Here's an international character poster showing off Rachel Weisz as the witch Evanora, presumably following some sort of evil transformation. [Coming Soon]
Monsters University
Here are some new images from Pixar's upcoming Monsters, Inc. prequel. [/Film]
Doctor Who
Star Matt Smith drops some plot details for a story coming up in the second half of series seven:
"What if there was a monster in the Wi-Fi? It's the genius of Steven Moffat again. What exists in the Wi-Fi? We all need it..."
Since that fairly heavily implies Steven Moffat is writing the episode, and I'm pretty sure Moffat is only down to the right the first and last episodes of the second half of the series, I'd guess Smith is talking about the next episode after the Christmas special. Still, that's just guesswork on my part. [Den of Geek]
Here are some set photos from the series finale, courtesy of EW. Each photo has a caption featuring commentary from showrunner J.H. Wyman, which are all well worth checking out. Here's his description of one of the final scenes filmed for the show:
"Yesterday, we had an emotional day in the lab with a scene involving Walter and Peter. 'As they were performing it, you could hear a pin drop. After it was over, there was applause because it was so incredible, and sitting with John Noble after it was over, it all sort of hit me. I had been so busy, I never took time to realize, Wow, it's over. We both took a moment and sat there in silence. It was very heavy. Lots of strange emotions.''
You can also check out a final, largely spoiler-free set report from VanCity Filming here. [EW]
Here's a bunch of cast interviews.
Game of Thrones
Here's a behind-the-scenes video for the third season, focusing on the show's art direction.
Samuel L. Jackson says he hasn't spoken to Joss Whedon about the possibility of playing Nick Fury on ABC's upcoming TV show, but he does say he is open to quite literally phoning in some cameos:
"I don't know. I keep hearing about it, and I haven't talked to Joss about it. But in my mind, I would tend to think that he would, if nothing else, be like Charlie in Charlie's Angels. At least be the voice!"
Jeph Loeb, one of Marvel's flagship comic book writers, mostly recaps what we already know about the show, but he does suggest that we could be seeing S.H.I.E.L.D. real soon:
Well...we have a "little" pilot for television that you might have heard about called Marvel's S.H.I.E.L.D. co-written, directed, and Executive Produced by none other than Joss Whedon! Working with Joss, Jed Whedon, Maurissa Tancharoen, Jeffrey Bell on the show is a blast! And bringing in Clark Gregg to play Agent Phil Coulson — the best! Hopefully we will be on in the Fall of 2013 on ABC!
Here's a promo for the midseason premiere, "Burned." With a title like that, you really have to have Firefly as the guest villain, and the show does not disappoint. [Comic Book Resources]
In its continuing and entirely laudable quest to cast every genre-friendly actor on the planet — a process that has already brought in Torchwood's John Barrowman, Fringe's Seth Gabel, and Battlestar Galactica and Dollhouse's Tahmoh Penikett — the series has reportedly cast Penikett's BSG castmate James Callis as The Dodger. Here's a description for the character, courtesy of TV Guide:
[He's] an elusive international jewel thief who imposes his plans on the innocent, forcing them to carry out his crimes under duress. When the Sherwood Ruby goes missing in Starling City, the ensuing investigation leads Oliver (Stephen Amell) and Diggle (David Ramsey) straight to The Dodger, but apprehending him won't be as easy as they may have thought. No word yet if Callis' Dodger is the same villain-turned-Arrow ally as in the DC Comics.
The fact that The Dodger is described as "international" probably means that Callis will be allowed to use his normal British accent, as opposed to that gloriously insane American-ish thing he used on Eureka. I'm not actually sure how I feel about that. [TV Guide]
The fifteenth episode will reportedly be called "Team-Ups." [SpoilerTV]
The Vampire Diaries
Executive producer Julie Plec previews an upcoming episode:
"We're just now writing a script which, in a perfect world, will take us back to the '70s in New York City. Everything could change, but it's an era we haven't explored yet. It could be a lot of fun. It'll definitely involve our brothers in some form or another."
She also offers this cryptic update on Katherine's status:
"That elusive vixen is still somehow lurking in the shadows. "but keeping herself well hidden… Given Klaus' continued presence in Mystic Falls, we shall see if we'll be able to get her back into town."
[TV Line]

Northeast Campgrounds Close Down for Sandy
October 29, 2012 by RVBusiness · Comments Off on Northeast Campgrounds Close Down for Sandy
Hurricane Sandy bore down on the Eastern Seaboard's largest cities today (Oct. 29), forcing the shutdown of mass transit, schools and financial markets, sending coastal residents fleeing, and threatening a dangerous mix of high winds, soaking rain and a surging wall of water up to 11 feet tall, the Associated Press reported.
Campgrounds were among the first to close in anticipation of the massive storm.
The tempest could endanger up to 50 million people for days.
"This is the worst-case scenario," said Louis Uccellini, environmental prediction chief for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
In North Carolina, parts of Cape Hatteras National Seashore were left flooded and without power Sunday by Hurricane Sandy, National Parks Traveler reported
According to Park Service updates, Ocracoke Village on Cape Hatteras was flooded and without power aside from that generated by portable generators. "Overwash has occurred on NC-12 on Ocracoke, north of Hatteras Village, Frisco, Buxton and Rodanthe," the agency added. "Moderate to major sound-side flooding is expected when the winds come around to the northwest."
Just to the south at Cape Lookout National Seashore, 32 visitors were riding out on the storm on the seashore's barrier islands. "All are secure," the Park Service reported. "The park is keeping tabs on them."
Here are some media reports from along the Coast:
From the Cape Gazette, Lewes, Del.:
All Delaware state parks and DNREC Division of Fish & Wildlife facilities – including state wildlife areas – will close at 5 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 28 in anticipation of Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy's projected path through and impact on the Mid-Atlantic region, including Delaware.
Division of Fish & Wildlife closures include duck blinds that are located in the wildlife areas. All wildlife areas, state boat ramps and fishing access areas will be closed until further notice.
Delaware State Parks likewise will be closed until further notice. Additionally, all Delaware state parks campgrounds, cabins and cottages will close at 1 p.m. Sunday, the normal checkout time, and they too will remain shut until further notice. Anyone who had made reservations at the campgrounds, cabins or cottages for Sunday and beyond will receive refunds due to the storm-related closure, and will have been notified in advance by the state parks' reservation system.
From CBS News, Baltimore:
The Maryland Park Service is closing all state park campgrounds and day-use areas in preparation for the arrival of Hurricane Sandy. The Maryland Forestry Service is also closing Elk Neck State Forest.
The latest weather forecasts predict a significant impact to Assateague Island from Hurricane Sandy. The campground at Assateague State Park closed Saturday evening and will remain closed until the morning of Oct. 31, depending on the severity of damage caused by the storm. The Assateague State Park day-use facility and the road onto the island (Route 611 prior to the Verrazano Bridge) will be closed to all visitors and traffic at 12:00 noon on Sunday and until further notice.
All Maryland state park campgrounds and day-use areas, including picnic shelters and all other park facilities, will be closed by Sunday evening. State parks will remain closed, and all park programs are canceled, until the morning of Oct. 31. This closure period will be modified on a park-by-park basis depending on the severity of the storm and associated damage.
Full refunds without cancellation penalties will be automatically processed for all reservations for the period during which the parks are closed.
From WCVB-TV, Boston:
The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is taking steps to prepare for the high winds and heavy rainfall that are predicted if Hurricane Sandy passes through the Commonwealth.
DCR closed its outdoor facilities statewide at dusk on Sunday. These facilities and properties are expected to remain closed for the duration of the storm.
Campers already at these campgrounds had to leave by 4 p.m. on Sunday and were required to take all camping equipment with them. Following the storm, DCR recommends visitors contact individual facilities prior to beginning their trip. Campers whose reservations are being canceled by DCR's closure on Sunday will be given the opportunity to receive a full refund or the ability to transfer their reservations.

Hello Jama Genie and thank you so much for visiting my cottage, joining my followers and for all the lovely comments you left. I too stopped by your place; you have a fascinating blog with interesting posts and lovely photos. I have signed on as a follower and will place a link on my blog to yours. Well, I see we are both Diana fans (who isn't?) I adored her from day one and was devastated when she passed on so soon. You are correct she will be missed but never forgotten. So sad that Charles didn't see in her what the rest of the world did. I love England and everything British however, I am sorry to say I don't care for Charles and can't stand the Rottweiler. I too have a bookcase full of Diana books…My office is full of her photos and her plates adorn my office walls. I visited Althorp about 8 years ago and met Earl Spencer. He was charming and agreed to a photograph and signed Diana's Eulogy book for me. I am so glad you stopped by my cottage; I feel I have found a new good friend. Please stop by often as I will too.
Talk to you soon

noitaminA ratings up to 12/07/05:
With such figures, it'll probably soon become as meaningless to follow the noitaminA ratings as it is for the other late-night timeslots. Lol.

What makes this especially unnerving is that the original show routinely got ratings in the 4-5% range. Moyashimon remains the third highest-ranked show ever carried in the noitaminA block.
Now I don't want to get into another lengthy discussion about what's up with noitaminA; that's more appropriate material for the noitaminA thread itself. I do think we're seeing the long-term effects of the overall narrowing of the anime audience that happened over the past few years. Shows got strong ratings on noitaminA when they attracted viewers outside the core anime audience. Now it seems that even franchises that once drew these viewers in significant numbers fail to do so any more.
I do note that the manga chapters are not appearing at the pace they once did. So while anime series are considered advertisements for the manga, there's presumably also the reverse effect, where manga readers watch the animated versions of stories they enjoyed. Perhaps there were more of those people in 2007 than today.
I also wonder a bit about how the live-action version might have affected interest in this series. I didn't watch more than an episode of the live action version because I don't find the tendency to overacting and mugging in Japanese live-action comedies appealing. It scored about a 2.5% rating, or about half the original anime rating, though that was fairly average for noitaminA shows after the switch to the two-series format. Maybe the Japanese are just "microbed out"?

Strictly from a commercial standpoint, noitaminA might as well go "all-otaku" now.
From a commercial standpoint, the benefit of the original approach was "high ratings", while the benefit of an otaku-targeted approach is "high DVD/Blu-Ray sales". Well, if you can't get those high ratings any more, there's not much commercial reason to stick to (or go back to) the original approach. Commercial interests almost always take precedent in situations like this, at least in time.
So I think that within a year or less, noitaminA shows will not be much different from other late-night anime shows...

It's funny how this thread always seems to end up a NoitaminA discussion thread...
I'm not so sure it's such a slam-dunk that NoitaminA will fade into just another late-night slot, because when the block has overtly attempted to "sell out", it hasn't worked all that well. It might just be that it's a no-win situation - it will lose its core audience by trying to be overtly commercial, but traditional otaku will continue to ignore it.
Also, FWIW, Tsuritama ended up doing very well on BD/DVD sales (Sakamichi is still an unknown) and that's certainly far from a commercial series.

Actually I think the Otaku thing helped noitaminA pretty well. Fractale flopped but both Anohana and Guilty Crown did pretty well in terms of DVD/BD sales. If their tactics was to go for a more Otaku audience and if DVD/BDs are also important now, wouldn't you say that the Otaku-venture worked out fine? Not that I want them to turn into an Otaku block but. . .
Also I wouldn't consider Tsuritama getting 2000+ DVD/BD "doing very well" even if we considered it not a commercial success.

And Tsuritama did 4454 BD/DVD, which is pretty frickin' good for a NoitaminA show about four guys.

AnoHana is aimed toward otaku in the beginning, it's an anime original project which means there is no casual fan anticipation compare to say Thermae Romae or Usagi Drop. On the other hand it was one of the highest anticipate series among otaku magazine and had little promo outside of that circle. In a sense it was like it's sister project HanaIro in the same season where the both series got picked up quickly by casual fans.
But marketing aside, it's hard to call a series to be aimed as casual audience when a ghost appears and is a central plot figure....

Hourou Musuko was one such production (Aniplex concluded that the themes would be difficult to market toward typical anime audiences). There's a good chance that AnoHana was another one, seeing that the project grew out of a proposal (originally with slapstick erotic elements) by Mari Okada.

Also, I don't recall it being advertised in that many anime magazines - or at least, no one was posting images until later during its run, when it was clear that it had been a hit with the traditional anime crowd too.

As for what Karice67 said, while that was true that the it was overshodowed at time during promotion, it had even less promotion outside of anime magazine in other medias. Original anime either market towards anime magazine or manga magazine. And if it was designed to appeal to mass market, then you set up a huge event to attract media. Anohana had zero of those compare to HanaIro.
All it had was a novel serialization on Da Vinci a month before airing and promotion posters on Saibu Railway's Chichibu City station where the anime staged. IMO, You just can't call a series to be designed toward casual viewer when there is little to no promotion to casual market with zero fan base.

Question, Undertaker: were you in Japan at the time? I.e. around Feb-Apr 2011?
Because, what you've described above wrt HanaIro sounds to me like an effort to bring anime-related tourism to Kanazawa, i.e. they were trying to tap into the market for otaku and casual anime fans (and girls who like cute things, perhaps) going on anime pilgrimages.
How many non-anime customers they scored because of that is unknown, and I'm not even going to try guessing. However, that kind of promotion is, to me, not directed primarily at the mass market.
Let me refer you to these two pages: PV spots for AnoHana and HanaIro. You might notice that AnoHana had no less than FIVE 15 second TV spots, whilst all of HanaIro's PVs were 2 minutes long, i.e. they were definitely not for TV.
Whilst I don't have evidence for it, I suspect that the AnoHana TV spots were played on Fuji TV and the other broadcast stations during prime time in order to attract some of the J-drama and variety show audience.
That's not even looking at other forms of advertising, such as posters at bus stops (I saw some Cross Game ones when I was still in Japan, but I wasn't there for AnoHana. Of course, in CG's case, the Adachi and high school baseball factors were also very important), in commuter trains etc, which none of us overseas viewers would even know about unless someone decided to blog about them.

Pope's schedule for final day of Holy Land visit
Pope Francis is on a three-day trip to the Holy Land aimed at marking an improvement in Catholic-Orthodox relations but which is also seeing him navigate some of the region's most intractable conflicts, from Israeli-Palestinian tensions to the civil war in neighboring Syria.
The following is the schedule for the third, final day of his visit.
Monday, May 26
8:15 a.m. (0515 GMT, 1:15 a.m. EDT): Visit to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Muhammad Ahmad Hussein, at the Al-Aqsa mosque complex in Jerusalem's Old City followed by a visit to the Dome of the Rock. The mosque compound is built on Judaism's holiest site, where the biblical First and Second Temples are believed to have stood, and is considered the third holiest site in Islam.
9:10 a.m. (0610 GMT, 2:10 a.m. EDT): Visit to the Western Wall, the only remains of the biblical Second Temple and the holiest place where Jews can pray.

Paula Dunham, Grand County EMS assistant director of education has outlined the 60-hour course of instruction, which will include all aspects of medical emergencies that first responders might encounter. She said the course will begin Sept. 2 and run every Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 6 to 10 p.m. at the Day Star Academy until Oct. 3, when the course will be completed.
In addition to Dunham, other instructors include EMS Director Andy Smith, EMT Jake Blackwelder, and Dr. Michael Duerhssen of Castle Valley.
The cost of the class will be $300 per person. The Castle Valley Fire Department was able to obtain a grant to go towards the class and Grand County EMS is donating workbooks and some other expenses to help keep the costs down.
All interested persons are welcome to attend the class and become a valuable asset to the community by becoming a member of the Castle Valley emergency medical response team.

We are nearing the 20th anniversary of when Castle Valley Drive became paved with chip seal. The county road department scheduled the day to begin the project 20 years ago and warned residents to drive slowly on the road while the first tack coat of oil was put in place to avoid damage to their vehicles. That coat of oil had to be in place for 24 hours before the rest of the chip sealing process could begin.
As the day neared to begin the process, the oil, which was to arrive by train, had not yet been delivered. It was finally learned that a destructive flood of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers that year had re-routed the train, pulling the tanker full of oil from the east. The detour around the flooded area took the tanker down through Texas and it eventually ended up in Denver, where it sat for several days because of the emergency traffic that was taking supplies to the flooded areas.
The oil eventually arrived, and after the tack coat another a truck sprayed another coat of oil followed by a layer of gravel, which eventually hardened to a smooth surface. Grand County Road Supervisor Dave Warner warned that residents would experience a lot of dust, flying gravel and washboarding until the excess material scattered. But for those of us who were used to the road the way it was, a few more days of dust and flying material was not a big deal.
Some people didn't want to see the road paved for some reason, but for the rest of us it was a blessing. The washboarded road was really hard on our vehicles, but the bigger issue was the cloud of dust that hovered over the valley during the morning and evening hours when the road was heavily used by commuters. Some people drove the road faster when the washboard road was at it worst because they reasoned that at high speeds they only came into contact with every third bump, which smoothed out the ride.
Another issue with the old dirt road was the mud during the early spring months when the snow melt came down Castle Valley Drive like a river, creating huge ruts. Sometimes if your car slid off of the higher part of the road into the rut you became high-centered and were stuck in place until someone with a larger vehicle pulled you out. One resident with a larger truck said he would simply put the wheels in the ruts at the top of the valley and wouldn't have to touch the steering wheel until he reached the paved Castleton Road because the deep ruts kept him on the road.
You could spot a Castle Valley car in Moab from a mile away. It was the one with red mud splattered all over it except for where the wipers cleared the muck from the windshield. Driving the muddy road at night required an occasional stop to clear the mud from the headlights so you could see where you were going. There were many other issues with the dirt road but suffice it to say that life in Castle Valley was a whole lot better with the paved road.
The road received another armor coat the following couple of years, followed by a chip seal coat the final year about 16 years ago. More recently, when Castle Valley Drive began to deteriorate and just before the town accepted ownership of the road from the county several years ago, another chip seal was applied to the road to renew its integrity for another decade.
