Angelina Jolie: 'Silver Linings Playbook' Role?
Angelina Jolie's schedule might be getting a bit busier!
Later this week, the 36-year-old megawatt actress is scheduled to meet with director David O. Russell for his latest project, The Silver Linings Playbook, JustJared.com has learned exclusively.
Mark Wahlberg is set to star in the comedy, which will be an adaptation of Matthew Quick's novel of the same name.
Synopsis: "Pat Peoples (Wahlberg) is down on his luck. The former high school history teacher has just been released from a mental institution and placed in the care of his mother. Not one to be discouraged, Pat believes he has only been on the inside for a few months – rather than four years – and plans on reconciling with his estranged wife."
Angelina may also be reprising her role as Evelyn Salt in the sequel to the action thriller Salt.

Since Armone Sullivan — cyclist, traditionally trained ballet and jazz dancer, fitness guru and certified master Pilates instructor — launched her studio last fall, the place has taken off with area residents attending a wide range of Pilates, spin and kickboxing classes, personal training sessions, and massage therapy appointments to keep their body and minds in top shape. Sullivan also offers a six-month intensive Pilates certification program for instructors to learn her one-of-a-kind Pilates brand, which fuses East and West Coast methodologies.
"This has always been my dream to have a full-service studio because I feel that you need to have all the components — the cardio, the isometric work," she said. "We're very results driven here. I don't do any paid advertising. All of my business is by referral. My clients look great, they feel great and they go out there and tell others."
The public is welcome to stop by Armone's to join in the studio's one-year anniversary celebration. For more information, visit www.armonescoreconnection.com or call (858) 255-8609.

FX's 'The Strain' Renewed for a Second Season!
FX's hit new show The Strain has been renewed for a second season!
"We've never had any doubts about The Strain," John Landgraf, CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions said in a statement (via Variety). "Working with Guillermo del Toro, Carlton Cuse, and the brilliant cast led by Corey Stoll has been everything we had hoped it would be and more. It is thrilling when you have a show that is a creative and commercial hit, which is a rare accomplishment in this increasingly crowded marketplace. We look forward having it on FX for as long as Carlton, Guillermo and Chuck Hogan need to tell this epic tale."
Mía Maestro and Sean Astin also star in the horror drama.
The 13-episode season will debut next summer. We can't wait!
ARE YOU EXCITED to see The Strain's second season???

Part 1 of the TED Radio Hour episode Memory Games.
About Scott Fraser's TEDTalk
Forensic psychologist Scott Fraser studies how we remember crimes. He describes a deadly shooting and explains how eyewitnesses can create memories that they haven't seen. Why? Because the brain is always trying to fill in the blanks.
About Scott Fraser
When it comes to witnesses in criminal trials, the accuracy of human memory can mean the difference between life and death. Scott Fraser is a forensic psychologist who researches what's real and what's selective when it comes to human memory and crime. He focuses on the fallibility of human memory and encourages a more scientific approach to trial evidence. He has testified in criminal and civil cases throughout the U.S. in state and federal courts.
In 2011 Fraser was involved in the retrial of a 1992 murder case in which Francisco Carrillo was found guilty and sentenced to two life sentences in prison. Fraser and the team that hired him staged a re-enactment of the night in question, and they showed the testimonies that had put Carrillo in jail were unreliable. After 20 years in jail for a crime he didn't commit, Carrillo was freed.
It's the TED Radio Hour from NPR. I'm Guy Raz.
UNIDENTIFIED STUDIO ENGINEER: All right. How's that? Now scoot a little bit...
SCOTT FRASER: Right in front of me?
UNIDENTIFIED STUDIO ENGINEER: Go ahead.
RAZ: So let's start the show today with this guy.
FRASER: I don't have anybody to look at.
UNIDENTIFIED STUDIO ENGINEER: You don't.
RAZ: He's just getting settled into the studio.
UNIDENTIFIED STUDIO ENGINEER: It's theater of the mind.
FRASER: Is that what it is?
UNIDENTIFIED STUDIO ENGINEER: That's what it is.
RAZ: Scott Fraser.
UNIDENTIFIED STUDIO ENGINEER: Only words, instead of...
FRASER: Oh, my mind.
UNIDENTIFIED STUDIO ENGINEER: There you go.
FRASER: They didn't tell me to bring that.
RAZ: Good thing he did because Scott is actually all about the mind, specifically memory, which is what we're talking about on the show today, memory games. How much can you trust memories and how do you keep them? And in Scott Fraser's case, well, he's focused on what our mind retains, what it doesn't, and why. He's a forensic psychologist.
FRASER: Which involves reviewing case materials, testifying in court cases. In some cases we actually reconstruct the crime scene itself.
RAZ: So I'm thinking you're like a private eye, like, sitting in an office with his legs up on the table and some dame walks in. You're smoking a cigarette. Is that real?
FRASER: (Laughing) It's been so long since a dame walked into any of my offices. It's more like ring ring, ring ring, ring ring...
You answer and, please help me. That's an attorney talking, please help me.
RAZ: Sometimes a prosecutor, sometimes a defense attorney, whoever it is, they call Scott because they're having an issue with the memory of someone who's witnessed a crime. Here's Scott's TED Talk.
FRASER: The murder happened a little over 21 years ago, January the 18th, 1991, in a small bedroom community of Lynwood, California, just a few miles southeast of Los Angeles. Father came out of his house to tell his teenage son and his five friends that it was time for them to stop horsing around, to get home, finish their schoolwork, prepare themselves for bed. And as the father was administering these instructions, a car drove by slowly and just after it passed the father and the teenagers, a hand went out from the front passenger window and bam, bam - killing the father and the car sped off.
Investigating officers were amazingly efficient. They considered all the usual culprits and in less than 24 hours they had selected their suspect, Francisco Carrillo, a 17-year-old kid who lived about two or three blocks away from where the shooting occurred. They found photos of him, they prepared a photo array and the day after the shooting, they showed it to one of the teenagers and he said, that's the picture. So at the actual trial, all six of the teenagers testified and indicated the identifications they had made in the photo array. He was convicted. He was sentenced to life imprisonment, adamantly insisting on his innocence, which he has consistently for 21 years. Oh yes, no gun was ever found, no vehicle was ever identified as being the one in which the shooter had extended his arm and no person was ever charged with being the driver of the shooter's vehicle. The problems, actually, for this kind of case, come manyfold from decades of scientific research involving human memory.
RAZ: And what are those problems? Well, for one thing Scott Fraser says, remember that six teenagers, six of them, picked the suspect, Francisco Carrillo, out of a police lineup.
FRASER: There's lots of research that shows that when we are faced with a lineup, a recognition test of some sort - witnesses and victims are not stalks of asparagus, they're smart. And they're saying, if law enforcement is going to show me photos or take me to a live lineup and that, they probably have a suspect. And that changes the task. You have to keep in mind, all recognition decisions are social judgments. That means it's very, very subjective. It's going to be influenced by all sorts of other factors that have nothing to do with what's left in your memory. All our memories, put simply, are reconstructed memories and they're constantly changing, even as we're talking about them.
RAZ: You know, sometimes, like I'm sure this happens to you too, where your mind plays tricks on you, right. You may have seen a photograph of yourself as a child and then that becomes a memory of something that happened that you remember, but there's almost no way you could've remembered it because you were, you know...
FRASER: Exactly.
RAZ: ...three or four, but you believe that you remember it.
FRASER: Absolutely, we all remember all sorts of things that are really the product of post-experience information. People remember falling out of the crib and it's very unlikely that they have an accurate memory of all those details. But if they've heard the story told about the parents and how upset they were that they had allowed this to occur, there was pictures of you in your pink pajamas and those are the pajamas you were wearing when you fell out of the crib, then it becomes a memory that you actually believe that you experienced. There's research studies that shows that you can get individuals, by giving false information to them from other family members, to believe that something happened to them early in their life that they had no recollection before but now they do remember, for example, being kidnapped by somebody at a mall when it never really happened. So we all look through family albums. We all hear stories at the dinner table and they become assimilated. They become incorporated into what we believe we actually remember.
RAZ: But could there be something else going on, something physiological with our memory, especially in a stressful situation like witnessing a crime?
FRASER: We've all experienced this. If you go and pay good money to go to a horror movie.
RAZ: Okay, so, for example, let's keep it classic with Jaws. You've got a diver searching a boat wreck for a missing fisherman and then he plucks a shark tooth from the wood and you feel something coming.
FRASER: You're sitting in a theater with 400 other people. What's going to happen to you? Where's the danger?
RAZ: The diver's shining his flashlight down the boat's hull, and then a body.
FRASER: Suddenly that sinking, kind of butterfly feeling in your stomach, you're actually feeling blood being drawn away from your digestive organs...
RAZ: ...and right out to your muscles in case you need to run or jump or whatever.
FRASER: The body gets ready immediately.
RAZ: And since you only have so much blood in your body, when you take it from one place...
FRASER: ...you have to reduce blood flow someplace else.
RAZ: The cortex.
FRASER: The top part of the human brain, which is critical for processing information and for storing it so that it will be recalled reliably later. And you're not attending to things such as eyebrows, cheeks, jaws, ears. You are focused solely on survival. How am I going to get out of here alive?
RAZ: Which means later, when you do try to piece together a memory of that stressful moment, well, your brain fills in the gaps.
FRASER: The brain fills in information that was not there. It's called reconstructed memories. It happens to us in all the aspects of our life, all the time. What we know, that we have what, 280 documented cases now where people have been wrongfully convicted and subsequently exonerated, some from death row, on the basis of later DNA analysis. And you know that over three-quarters of all of those cases of exoneration involved only eyewitness identification testimony during the trial that convicted them. That was part of the instigation for a group of appeal attorneys to petition a Superior Court for a retrial for Francisco Carrillo.
They retained me, as a forensic neurophysiologist, because I had expertise in eyewitness memory identification, which obviously makes sense for this case, right. But also because I have expertise and testify about the nature of human night vision. Well, what's that got to do with this? Well, when you read through the case materials in this Carrillo case, one of the things that suddenly strikes you is that the investigating officers said the lighting was good at the crime scene. All the teenagers testified during the trial that they could see very well. But this occurred in mid-January, in the northern hemisphere, at seven p.m. at night. So when I did the calculations for the lunar data and the solar data at that location on Earth at the time of the incident of the shooting, all right? It was well past the end of civil twilight and there was no moon up that night. The only lighting in that area had to come from artificial sources.
RAZ: So Scott visited the crime scene at the same time of night and at the same time of year. And that artificial light, a streetlight...
FRASER: ...coming from behind the perpetrator.
RAZ: And from that angle...
FRASER: ...their face would be in the shadow that's cast by their own head.
RAZ: And with those lighting conditions, it meant...
FRASER: ...that the distance at which you could detect the features that are necessary to reliably recognize the person were probably 12 to 18 inches away from you.
RAZ: But on the night of the murder...
FRASER: ...the car was going by at least three or four feet away from the witnesses.
RAZ: Not only would you have had trouble detecting features from that distance, so would the photoreceptors in your eyes, the ones that see color.
FRASER: Those are called cones. Cones require a certain minimum amount of stimulation, a certain minimum amount of light, to operate. The lighting was so low at the location of the witnesses that the cones would not have been operating to be able to detect color.
RAZ: Which would have made seeing and remembering the shooter's race, it would've made it almost impossible, even though the witnesses were confident they had the right guy.
FRASER: What it indicates is that confidence is not a reliable barometer but yet it's one that we use all the time.
RAZ: We convict people based on...
FRASER: Not only convict, we know that most jury-eligible adults have a very strong belief that eyewitness confidence and certainty is a good indication as to whether or not the person is correct or incorrect.
FRASER: I testified to that to the court and while the judge was very attentive, it had been a very, very long hearing for this petition for a retrial. And as a result, I'd noticed out of the corner of my eye that I thought that maybe the judge was going to need a little more of a nudge than just more numbers. And here I became a bit audacious. I said, Your Honor, I think you should go out and look at the scene yourself.
RAZ: What happened next? That's coming up. I'm Guy Raz and this is the TED Radio Hour from NPR.
RAZ: It's the TED Radio Hour from NPR. I'm Guy Raz and on the show today, memory games, why we remember some things and forget almost everything else. Now, on the last part of the show we heard from Scott Fraser. He's a forensic psychologist who was hired to figure out whether a man named Francisco Carrillo, who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, whether he was guilty, or whether he was the victim of bad human memories. We pick up where we left off. Scott has just convinced a judge who has to decide whether to grant Carrillo a retrial. Scott convinced him to visit the scene of the crime.
FRASER: We, first of all, picked the date and time when we'd had the same lunar conditions and the same solar conditions, namely after twilight, there was no moon up. We had already established the foundation, all the lights on the street were the same as they were 21 years ago. And on that date, the judge was driven to the scene.
FRASER: He came out with an entire brigade of sheriff's officers to protect him in this community, all right. We had him stand actually slightly in the street, so closer to the suspect vehicle, the shooter vehicle, than the actual teenagers were. So he stood a few feet from the curb toward the middle of the street. We had a car that came by, same identical car as described by the teenagers, it had a driver and a passenger. And after the car had passed the judge by, the passenger extended his hand, pointed it back to the judge as the car continued on, just as the teenagers had described it. Now we didn't use a real gun in his hand, so we had a black object in his hand that was similar to the gun that was described.
And we had the judge look at it. So he looked at the car, went around the block, the arm came out at 30 feet. Car went around the block, the arm came out at 15 feet. So the judge got to look at this car going when the arm came out each time. After he did that, then he asked me if there was anything else that I wanted him to look at and I said, yes, there would be one more thing. I want you to stand right here and I'm going to have the car drive around the block. I want it to stop right next to you, three to four feet away. The window is down. I'm going to have the passenger extend his arm with that black object, and I want you to look at him. Look at the face of the person extending the arm in the car for as long as you want. The defense attorneys for Mr. Carrillo thought I was being probably absolutely stupid, but I had the confidence in my measures that the depth of detail detection was going to be 18 inches or less. So we had the car drive around, stop right in front of the judge, arm came out, and the judge stared at it. Stared at it. And what you see is, in fact, almost a totally black, flat screen. You can't even see the arm sticking right out at you.
FRASER: There was a few more days of evidence that was heard. At the end of it, he made the judgment that he was going to grant the petition for a retrial. And furthermore, he released Mr. Carrillo so that he could aid in the preparation of his own defense if the prosecution decided to retry him, which they decided not to. He is now a freed man.
FRASER: And what does this example, what's important to keep in mind for ourselves? I constantly have to remind myself about just how accurate are the memories that we know are true. None of those teenagers thought that they were picking the wrong person. None of them thought they couldn't see the person's face. We all need to remember to be cautious, that the accuracy of our memories is not measured in how vivid they are nor how certain you are that they're correct. All our memories are reconstructed memories. Thank you.
RAZ: Scott Fraser. That case, by the way, isn't over. Francisco Carrillo is now suing the county of Los Angeles. The teenage witnesses who identified him have since recanted. Two other men have confessed to the shooting. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

text:
Franz Kafka (IPA: [ˈfʀanʦ ˈkafka]) (3 July 1883 - 3 June 1924) was one of the major German-language fiction writers of the 20th century. He was born to a middle-class Jewish family in Prague, then part of Austria-Hungary. His unique body of writing - much of which is incomplete and was published posthumously - is among the most influential in Western literature.[1]
His stories, such as The Metamorphosis (1915), and novels, including The Trial (1925) and The Castle (1926), concern troubled individuals in a nightmarishly impersonal and bureaucratic world.
Kafka was born into a middle-class, German-speaking Jewish family in Prague, the capital of Bohemia. His father, Hermann Kafka (1852–1931), was described as a "huge, selfish, overbearing businessman"[2] and by Kafka himself as "a true Kafka in strength, health, appetite, loudness of voice, eloquence, self-satisfaction, worldly dominance, endurance, presence of mind, [and] knowledge of human nature".[3] Hermann was the fourth child of Jacob Kafka, a shochet, and came to Prague from Osek, a Czech-speaking Jewish village near Písek in southern Bohemia. After working as a traveling sales representative, he established himself as an independent retailer of men's and women's fancy goods and accessories, employing up to 15 people and using a jackdaw (kavka in Czech) as his business logo. Kafka's mother, Julie (1856—1934), was the daughter of Jakob Löwy, a prosperous brewer in Poděbrady, and was better educated than her husband.
Kafka was the eldest of six children.[5] He had two younger brothers, Georg and Heinrich, who died at the ages of fifteen months and six months, respectively, before Kafka was seven, and three younger sisters, Gabriele ("Elli") (1889–1941), Valerie ("Valli") (1890–1942), and Ottilie ("Ottla") (1891–1943). On business days, both parents were absent from the home. His mother helped to manage her husband's business and worked in it as much as 12 hours a day. The children were largely reared by a series of governesses and servants.
Kafka's sisters were sent with their families to the Łódź Ghetto and died there or in concentration camps. Ottla was sent to the concentration camp at Theresienstadt and then on October 7, 1943 to the death camp at Auschwitz, where 1267 children and 51 guardians, including Ottla, were gassed to death on their arrival.[6]

Kafka learned German as his first language, but he was also fluent in Czech. Later, Kafka acquired some knowledge of French language and culture; one of his favorite authors was Flaubert. From 1889 to 1893, he attended the Deutsche Knabenschule, the boys' elementary school at the Masný trh/Fleischmarkt (meat market), the street now known as Masná street. His Jewish education was limited to his Bar Mitzvah celebration at 13 and going to the synagogue four times a year with his father.[7] After elementary school, he was admitted to the rigorous classics-oriented state gymnasium, Altstädter Deutsches Gymnasium, an academic secondary school with eight grade levels, where German was also the language of instruction, at Old Town Square, within the Kinsky Palace. He completed his Maturita exams in 1901.
Admitted to the German Charles-Ferdinand University of Prague, Kafka first studied chemistry, but switched after two weeks to law. This offered a range of career possibilities, which pleased his father, and required a longer course of study that gave Kafka time to take classes in German studies and art history. At the university, he joined a student club, named Lese- und Redehalle der Deutschen Studenten, which organized literary events, readings and other activities. In the end of his first year of studies, he met Max Brod, who would become a close friend of his throughout his life, together with the journalist Felix Weltsch, who also studied law. Kafka obtained the degree of Doctor of Law on June 18, 1906 and performed an obligatory year of unpaid service as law clerk for the civil and criminal courts.[1]
On November 1, 1907, he was hired at the Assicurazioni Generali, a huge Italian insurance company, where he worked for nearly a year. His correspondence, during that period, witnesses that he was unhappy with his working time schedule - from 8 p.m. (20:00) until 6 a.m. (06:00) - as it made it extremely difficult for him to concentrate on his writing. On July 15, 1908, he resigned, and two weeks later found more congenial employment with the Worker's Accident Insurance Institute for the Kingdom of Bohemia. His father often referred to his son's job as insurance officer as a "Brotberuf", literally "bread job", a job done only to pay the bills. However, he did not show any signs of indifference towards his job, as the several promotions that he received during his career suggest that he was a hardworking employee. A little-known fact about this period, reported by Peter Drucker in Managing in the Next Society, is that Kafka invented the first civilian hard hat. He received a medal for this invention in 1912 because it reduced Bohemian steel mill deaths to fewer than 25 per thousand employees. He was also given the task of compiling and composing the annual report and was reportedly quite proud of the results, sending copies to friends and family. In parallel, Kafka was also committed to his literary work. Together with his close friends Max Brod and Felix Weltsch, these three were called "Der enge Prager Kreis", the close Prague circle, which was part of a broader Prague Circle, "a loosely knit group of German-Jewish writers who contributed to the culturally fertile soil of Prague during the 1880s until after World War I."[8]
In 1911, Karl Hermann, spouse of his sister Elli, proposed Kafka collaborate in the operation of an asbestos factory known as Prager Asbestwerke Hermann and Co. Kafka showed a positive attitude at first, dedicating much of his free time to the business. During that period, he also found interest and entertainment in the performances of Yiddish theatre, despite the misgivings of even close friends such as Max Brod, who usually supported him in everything else. Those performances also served as a starting point for his growing relationship with Judaism.
Later years
In 1912, at Max Brod's home, Kafka met Felice Bauer, who lived in Berlin and worked as a representative for a dictaphone company. Over the next five years they corresponded a great deal, met occasionally, and twice were engaged to be married. Their relationship finally ended in 1917.
In 1917, Kafka began to suffer from tuberculosis, which would require frequent convalescence during which he was supported by his family, most notably his sister Ottla. Despite his fear of being perceived as both physically and mentally repulsive, he impressed others with his boyish, neat, and austere good looks, a quiet and cool demeanor, obvious intelligence and dry sense of humor.[9]
In the early 1920s he developed an intense relationship with Czech journalist and writer Milena Jesenská. In 1923, he briefly moved to Berlin in the hope of distancing himself from his family's influence to concentrate on his writing. In Berlin, he lived with Dora Diamant, a 25-year-old kindergarten teacher from an orthodox Jewish family, who was independent enough to have escaped her past in the ghetto. Dora became his lover, and influenced Kafka's interest in the Talmud.[10]
It is generally agreed that Kafka suffered from clinical depression and social anxiety throughout his entire life[citation needed]. He also suffered from migraines, insomnia, constipation, boils, and other ailments, all usually brought on by excessive stresses and strains. He attempted to counteract all of this by a regimen of naturopathic treatments, such as a vegetarian diet and the consumption of large quantities of unpasteurized milk. However, Kafka's tuberculosis worsened; he returned to Prague, then went to Dr. Hoffmann sanatorium in Kierling near Vienna for treatment, where he died on June 3, 1924, apparently from starvation. The condition of Kafka's throat made eating too painful for him, and since intravenous therapy had not been developed, there was no way to feed him (a fate resembling that of Gregor in the Metamorphosis and the main character of A Hunger Artist). His body was ultimately brought back to Prague where he was interred on June 11, 1924, in the New Jewish Cemetery (sector 21, row 14, plot 33) in Prague-Žižkov.
Personal views
Kafka maintained his indifference to formal religion throughout most of his life. While he had a sense of Jewish identity, this identity was complicated by a sense of alienation from Judaism and Jewish life: "What have I in common with Jews? I have hardly anything in common with myself and should stand very quietly in a corner, content that I can breathe."[11] Kafka wrote that even his father attended synagogue only four times per year; when he accompanied his father, he reported that he "almost suffocated from the terrible boredom and pointlessness of the hours in the synagogue."[11]
During the later years of his life, Kafka suggested an interest in moving to Palestine. At this stage of his life, he was in quite ill health, and Palestine seemed to represent something metaphysical to him: "If I'm never going to leave my bed why shouldn't I go at least as far as Palestine?"[12]
Literary work

Kafka published only a few short stories during his lifetime, a small part of his work, and never finished any of his novels (with the possible exception of The Metamorphosis, which some consider to be a short novel). His writing attracted little attention until after his death. Prior to his death, he instructed his friend and literary executor Max Brod to destroy all of his manuscripts. His lover, Dora Diamant, partially executed his wishes, secretly keeping up to 20 notebooks and 35 letters until they were confiscated by the Gestapo in 1933. An ongoing international search is being conducted for these missing Kafka papers. Brod overrode Kafka's instructions and instead oversaw the publication of most of the work in his possession, which soon began to attract attention and high critical regard.
All of Kafka's published works, except several letters he wrote in Czech to Milena Jesenská, were written in German.
Style of writing
Kafka often made extensive use of a trait special to the German language allowing for long sentences that sometimes can span an entire page. Kafka's sentences then deliver an unexpected impact just before the period - that being the finalizing meaning and focus. This is achieved due to the construction of certain sentences in German which require that the verb be positioned at the end of the sentence. Such constructions cannot be duplicated in English, so it is up to the translator to provide the reader with the same effect found in the original text.[13] One such instance of a Kafka translator's quandary is demonstrated in the first sentence of The Metamorphosis.
Another virtually insurmountable problem facing the translator is how to deal with the author's intentional use of ambiguous terms or of words that have several meanings. An example is Kafka's use of the German noun Verkehr in the final sentence of The Judgment. The sentence can be translated as: "At that moment an unending stream of traffic crossed over the bridge."[14] What gives added weight to the obvious double meaning of Verkehr is Kafka's confession to his friend and biographer Max Brod that when he wrote that final line, he was thinking of "a violent ejaculation." In the English translation, of course, what can Verkehr be but "traffic"?[15]
Critical interpretation

Critics have interpreted Kafka's works in the context of a variety of literary schools, such as modernism, magical realism, and so on.[16] The apparent hopelessness and absurdity that seem to permeate his works are considered emblematic of existentialism. Others have tried to locate a Marxist influence in his satirization of bureaucracy in pieces such as In the Penal Colony, The Trial, and The Castle,[16] whereas others point to anarchism as an inspiration for Kafka's anti-bureaucratic viewpoint. Still others have interpreted his works through the lens of Judaism (Borges made a few perceptive remarks in this regard), through Freudianism[16] (because of his familial struggles), or as allegories of a metaphysical quest for God (Thomas Mann was a proponent of this theory).
Themes of alienation and persecution are repeatedly emphasized, and the emphasis on this quality, notably in the work of Marthe Robert, partly inspired the counter-criticism of Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, who argued that there was much more to Kafka than the stereotype of a lonely figure writing out of anguish, and that his work was more deliberate, subversive, and more "joyful" than it appears to be.
Furthermore, an isolated reading of Kafka's work — focusing on the futility of his characters' struggling without the influence of any studies on Kafka's life was worthless — reveals the humor of Kafka. Kafka's work, in this sense, is not a written reflection of any of his own struggles, but a reflection of how people invent struggles.
Biographers have said that it was common for Kafka to read chapters of the books he was working on to his closest friends, and that those readings usually concentrated on the humorous side of his prose. Milan Kundera refers to the essentially surrealist humour of Kafka as a main predecessor of later artists such as Federico Fellini, Gabriel García Márquez, Carlos Fuentes and Salman Rushdie. For García Márquez, it was as he said the reading of Kafka's The Metamorphosis that showed him "that it was possible to write in a different way".
Publications and dates
Much of Kafka's work was unfinished, or prepared for publication posthumously by Max Brod. The novels The Castle (which stopped mid-sentence and had ambiguity on content), The Trial (chapters were unnumbered and some were incomplete) and Amerika (Kafka's original title was The Man who Disappeared) were all prepared for publication by Brod. It appears Brod took a few liberties with the manuscript (moving chapters, changing the German and cleaning up the punctuation), and thus the original German text was altered prior to publication. The editions by Brod are generally referred to as the Definitive Editions.
According to the publisher's note[17] for The Castle,[18] Malcolm Pasley was able to get most of Kafka's original handwritten work into the Oxford Bodleian Library in 1961. The text for The Trial was later acquired through auction and is stored at the German literary archives[19] at Marbach, Germany.[20]
Subsequently, Pasley headed a team (including Gerhard Neumann, Jost Schillemeit, and Jürgen Born) in reconstructing the German novels and S. Fischer Verlag republished them.[21] Pasley was the editor for Das Schloß (The Castle), published in 1982, and Der Proceß (The Trial), published in 1990. Jost Schillemeit was the editor of Der Verschollene (Amerika) published in 1983. These are all called the 'Critical Editions' or the 'Fischer Editions'. The German critical text of these, and Kafka's other works, may be found online at The Kafka Project.[22]
There is another Kafka Project based at San Diego State University, which began in 1998 as the official international search for Kafka's last writings. Consisting of 20 notebooks and 35 letters to Kafka's last companion, Dora Diamant (later, Dymant-Lask), this missing literary treasure was confiscated from her by the Gestapo in Berlin 1933. The Kafka Project's four-month search of government archives in Berlin in 1998 uncovered the confiscation order and other significant documents. In 2003, the Kafka Project discovered three original Kafka letters, written in 1923. Building on the search conducted by Max Brod and Klaus Wagenbach in the mid-1950s, the Kafka Project at SDSU has an advisory committee of international scholars and researchers, and is calling for volunteers who want to help solve a literary mystery.[23]
[edit] Translations
There are two primary sources for the translations based on the two German editions. The earliest English translations were by Edwin and Willa Muir and published by Alfred A. Knopf. These editions were widely published and spurred the late-1940's surge in Kafka's popularity in the United States. Later editions (notably the 1954 editions) had the addition of the deleted text translated by Eithne Wilkins and Ernst Kaiser. These are known 'Definitive Editions'. They translated both The Trial, Definitive and The Castle, Definitive among other writings. Definitive Editions are generally accepted to have a number of biases and to be dated in interpretation.
After Pasley and Schillemeit completed their recompilation of the German text, the new translations were completed and published -- The Castle, Critical by Mark Harman (Schocken Books, 1998), The Trial, Critical by Breon Mitchell (Schocken Books, 1998) and Amerika: The Man Who Disappeared by Michael Hoffman (New Directions Publishing, 2004). These editions are often noted as being based on the restored text.

Franz Kafka has a museum dedicated to his work in Prague, Czech Republic. The term "Kafkaesque" is widely used and misused to describe concepts, situations, and ideas which are reminiscent of Kafka's works, particularly The Trial and "The Metamorphosis".
In Mexico, the phrase "Si Franz Kafka fuera mexicano, sería costumbrista" (If Franz Kafka were Mexican, he would be a Costumbrista writer) is commonly used in newspapers, blogs, and online forums to tell how hopeless and absurd the situation in the country is.[24]
It has been noted that "from the Czech point of view, Kafka was German, and from the German point of view he was, above all, Jewish" and that this was a common "fate of much of Western Jewry."[8]

Prelude to Morning Praise on Oct. 6
A few days ago as I walked up the hill to our monastery chapel for Morning Praise, the sky was so awesome I found myself not wanting to go to chapel for prayer. I wanted to remain in my wonderful outdoor cathedral. When I arrived at the monastery door I looked up at the sky once more and said "OK, Lord, I'll leave this to go to Morning Prayer but it better be good!"
I arrived in chapel a little early which is not one of my common behaviors since I am prone to loitering, ambling, meandering and sauntering along the way, which I also find to be a form of prayer. I decided to open my daily prayer book from Liturgical Press, Give us This Day, (www.giveusthisday.org) and check out the daily scripture reading for Morning Prayer. I could hardly believe what I was reading. It was from Isaiah 60:19-21
"No longer shall the sun be your light by day, Nor shall the brightness of the moon give you light by night; Rather the Lord will be your light forever, your God will be your glory. No longer will your sun set, or your moon wane; For the Lord will be your light forever, and the days of your grieving will be over. …" The words fell into my soul like rain though I was not repentant of my earlier struggle. Each of these experiences was prayer. Everything in the whole wide world is the "back side of God." (Exodus 33:18-23)
As I began to chant the psalms with my community I became aware that the sunrise was still with me. Each word, a sun beam:
From Psalm 84: Your temple is my joy, Lord of heaven's might. I am eager for it, eager for the courts of God. My flesh, my flesh sings its joy to the living God. ...…God is our sun, our shield, the giver of honor and grace.
And from Psalm 32: You, my shelter, you save me from ruin; You encircle me with songs of freedom.
I will show you the way you should walk. As your teacher I watch out for you. Do not be a stubborn mule…
Well, I think I will stop on that one but it is true that the sunrise came into chapel with me and then all the saints in the stain glass windows started waking up and putting on their bright robes and haloes, raising their hands in praise, picking up their staffs and palm branches, their writing quills and lighted lamps, sacred books, crosses and chalices, (whatever the artist put in their hands) and I thought of the great cloud of witnesses who have gone before us and their faith; and I looked at the faces of my Sisters with whom I was praying and I thought, "It really is good to be here!"
What amazing gifts and guides we have to help us change our attitudes! Any place is a good place to be if you come with open hands, open ears, open hearts and with bright piercing eyes, ready to see and receive. I don't always allow myself to be tamed so easily but on that particular morning: feast of St. Bruno, the Carthusian, I was so open to grace.

Move submitter information to bottom of resource page
Currently submitters are listed with authors. This creates a bit of confusion as to who is the author of the material. I would suggest moving submitter information to the bottom of the resource page below time/location/etc. Where there would be a label "submitted by" followed by the list of submitters. For a good example of such a resource, see: http://nanohub.org/resources/11392

Questia Gives Finals Time a Silver Lining With a Chance to Win Part of $2,000 in Prizes
Students Can Enter a Well-Researched Paper in Questia's "Citation Showdown" for Their Chance to Win
By: Marketwired .
Nov. 8, 2012 03:50 PM
CHICAGO, IL -- (Marketwire) -- 11/08/12 -- With numerous essays and exams piling up, the end of the semester is typically a challenging time for students. Whether the paper is on Ancient Greece or William Shakespeare, a quality research paper includes multiple sources, all of which must be properly cited. However, locating the information necessary for citations can be difficult. To help motivate students to properly cite their research work, Questia, the premier online research and paper writing resource is conducting a nationwide search for the best and most correct use of citations in a research paper.
The "Citation Showdown" contest encourages students to locate and cite high-quality, scholarly research to create superior research papers. Questia (www.questia.com), the premier online library and research tool for students, will take nominations through December 31st, 2012 in which students can submit a copy of their bibliography for a chance to win one of $2,000 in prizes. The first place winner will receive $500, 2 second place runners-up will each receive $375 and 5 third place honorable mentions will be awarded with $150.
To enter, students must submit a copy of their bibliography along with the following information: student's name, title of the paper, email and phone number via the online submission form available on the "Citation Showdown" contest page at Questia by 5 p.m. on December 31st, 2012. All entries must incorporate at least 3 citations, one of which must be from a current source (published within the past 12 months), be formatted in an APA, MLA or Chicago style, and be based on one of Questia's research topics. Winners will be determined based on the best and most correct use of citations.
Questia is sponsoring this contest as a part of their ongoing effort to illustrate the importance of properly citing research. Students save valuable time on research papers and projects with Questia's organizational and paper-writing tools and tutorials, allowing them to accurately cite sources in multiple styles, automatically generate footnotes and bibliographies, and conveniently organize their notes, research and sources all in one place. Additionally, since Questia is accessible 24/7, students can research any time of day from anywhere, with the confidence that they're using credible content from trustworthy sources.
Please visit the contest page at Questia for complete contest details and to submit your bibliography for consideration in Questia's "Citation Showdown."

ISO 13849-1 Machine Guarding adoption, Part 3
What is your plan to comply with ISO 13849-1 Machine Guarding standard? By now you've attended seminars, read white papers and magazine articles, heard from colleagues, or even read some of these blogs on this subject. So what? We don't legislate compliance in the U.S. Instead, we have consensus standards.
What are the steps or measures you and your company will take to comply with ISO 13849-1 given the education you've experienced? Have you invested the time to analyze and investigate the requirements as an OEM, systems integrator, or end user?
Many believe compliance to ISO 13849-1 Machine Guarding standard in the U.S. is a paradigm shift in how industry approaches the design and build process for control systems including the design for related safety functions. A paradigm shift by definition is likely significant to a company's organization.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and systems integrators usually are better equipped to effectively handle these changes with the technical staff on hand.
End users, on the other hand, can be a mixed bag of capabilities. Smaller end user organizations generally do not have organizational depth in technical staff and, in my opinion, will seek other means to satisfy the compliance requirements of this new standard. Again, in my opinion, the smaller end users could benefit by including the compliance requirement in their purchase order for the supplier of new machines.
Retrofits of existing machines for these end users might be a different story. Some of my European colleagues who work on international standards committees offer that these small companies should contract OEMs or system integrators for their retrofits. Of course this strategy assumes the smaller end users have the available capital for this service. Many of us know that quite a few of these smaller end users operate on very small margins.
The discussion above is designed to motivate thoughts around various steps or measures for the compliance planning process. However, this assumes companies in the U.S. have reached the "tipping point" to adopt international consensus standards versus domestic consensus standards. So far I don't believe any domestic consensus standards have adopted ISO 13849-1; 2008. On the other hand, many U.S. companies have adopted both domestic and international consensus standards and, therefore, are reaching their "tipping point."
Has your company reached that "tipping point" to begin using and asking your suppliers to use ISO 13849-1 Machine Guarding standard?
I believe that many companies have, however, I'm not sure that many companies have developed their adoption migration plan.
Have you?

Difference between revisions of "Eyre Peninsula"
Revision as of 05:28, 17 November 2009
The Eyre Peninsula [4] is a coastal region of South Australia offering some spectacular holiday experiences - particularly wildlife interactions.
You can have unforgettable sea adventures, like swimming with sea lions at Baird Bay [5], cage diving with Great White Sharks [6] at Port Lincoln (Australia's Seafood Capital), and even Swimming with Tuna [7].
At Head of Bight [8], it's the perfect vantage point for spotting giant whales as they undertake their annual migration through the Southern Ocean. Each year from May to October, this stretch of the Nullarbor Plain coastline becomes a free range creche for Southern Right Whales. Up to 60 of them annually migrate out of the Southern Ocean to these traditional breeding grounds and nursery; by the time they depart in spring, around 20 new calves will be ready for summer in the Antartica.
The Eyre Peninsula is home to national parks, ancient caves, and the Nullarbor Plain - the vast, treeless plain that has fascinates anyone with an explorer's spirit.
Follow the Australian Seafood and Aquaculture Trail [9], which leads to you great seafood dining experiences, and allows you to gain insights into the seafood industry too.

Guwahati, Nov 16 : Curfew continued on Friday in Kokrajhar area of Assam's Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD), where violence has claimed the lives of six people since last week.
The army, which has been called in to help police in containing the law and order situation, has been carrying out flag marches at all the sensitive places in the district - particularly in and around Kokrajhar town and in areas under the Gosaigaon subdivision in the district.
No incidents had been reported from anywhere in the district in the last 24 hours. However, curfew was still in force in the district as a precautionary measure, inspector general of police (law and order) SN Singh said.
Assam director general of police Jayanta Narayan Choudhury also reviewed the situation. State industry and commerce minister Pradyut Bordoloi and senior officials were expected to visit the region.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had called up Assam chief minister Tarun Gogoi late Thursday over the situation in BTAD and assured him of all possible help in containing the situation.
Tension had escalated on Thursday with suspected cadres of the anti-talk faction of the Bodo militant outfit National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) injuring one person at the weekly market in Kokrajhar town. Suspected militants also gunned down a man called Nirisan Basumatary at Telipara under Gosaigaon subdivision.
Gogoi had indicated that the anti-talk faction of the Bodo militant outfit National Democratic Front of Bodoland (NDFB) was behind the incidents of violence.
IGP Singh said five columns of the army had been deployed - two in Kokrajhar and three in Gosaigaon subdivision - and additional central paramilitary forces were also moving into the district.
"Police have arrested 37 people so far and detained some more for their alleged involvement in the violence," he said.
Security forces in the area, he said, had also been searching for illegal arms and ammunition belonging to former militants in Kokrajhar and other BTAD areas. A total of 70 pieces of arms had been recovered since July this year.
In July and August this year, clashes between the Bodos and Bengali-speaking Muslims in BTAD had led to over 100 people being killed and close to 500,000 being displaced in Kokrajhar, Chirang and Dhubri districts.
