31 December, 2015
Dear LeftWord Books Community,
We had pledged at the start of 2015 to bring you a book a month this year, and we can say with a sigh of relief that we…..almost…..met our pledge.
• Socialist Register 2015.
• Rosa Luxemburg, Reform or Revolution, Introduction by Brinda Karat.
• Patrick Cockburn, The Rise of Islamic State. ISIS and the New Sunni Revolution.
• Mangai, Acting Up: Gender and Theatre in India, 1979 onwards.
• Vijay Prashad, No Free Left: The Futures of Indian Communism.
• From India to Palestine. Essays in Solidarity, ed. Githa Hariharan (paperback).
• Govind Pansare, Who Was Shivaji?
• Subodh Roy, Chittagong Armoury Raid. A Memoir.
• Max Blumenthal, The 51 Day War. Ruin and Resistance in Gaza.
As the year winds down, The Hindu picked Comrade Pansare's book to mention as one of six important books of the year. This is the paper's statement on the book:
On February 16, 2015, Govind Pansare, a public intellectual and rationalist, was shot at, at point-blank range, outside his house in Kolhapur. This English translation of Shivaji Kon Hota? from the Marathi original of a 1987 speech, and published by Leftword, was one among many important quick turnaround books published after the murder to retrieve the texts and ideas for which Pansare, Narendra Dabholkar and M.M. Kalburgi were killed. Indeed, Kalburgi's murder, in August this year, turned out to be a tipping point, and sparked a movement by writers and artists to protest increasing incidents of intolerance in India. Writers, with Nayantara Sahgal among the most prominent and articulate in stating their concern, returned their Sahitya Akademi awards, to protest the institution's — and the Central government's — inaction on defending freedom of speech and expression. Soon enough, the movement caught the imagination of civil society — with film directors, artists and scientists joining the protests, and leading historians issuing statements — and the questions raised will surely continue to demand answers in the new year.
As the new year opens before us, we have a list of books that we hope you will find as useful as the list from 2015. Opening the year are two important titles from us:
(1) Saadat Hasan Manto, The Armchair Revolutionary and Other Sketches, Translated by Khalid Hasan. Edited, with an introduction, by Ali Mir and Saadia Toor. Prologue by Nandita Das. Cover by Ayaz Jokhio.
(2) Michael Denning, Noise Uprising: the Audiopolitics of a Musical Revolution, with an introduction by Naresh Fernandes.
Coming soon thereafter are several important books:
• Teesta Setalvad's memoir.
• Socialist Register 2016: The Politics of the Right.
• Jyotsna Singh and Akshay Deshmane's collection of some of the best new journalistic writing in and on India.
• Antonio Gramsci's The Modern Prince, with an introduction by Aijaz Ahmad.
• Rahul Sankrityayan's From Ganga to Volga, translated by Victor Kiernan and introduced by Maya Joshi.
• Prabir Purkayastha on net neutrality and the Internet.
• Nagraj Adve on climate change.
• Dakshayani's memoir, introduced by Meera Velayudhan.
• Vijay Prashad, The Lotus and the Settler: India-Palestine-Israel.
& more…..
We are also at work on our books for 2017, the anniversary of the revolution that created the USSR. For that year, we have in mind the following books:
• John Reed, The Ten Days that Shook the World.
• N. Krupskaya, Working Women (the first English translation of this classic from 1900).
• Walter Rodney, 1917.
• Lenin's 1917 writings.
• Prabhat Patnaik on the Soviet experiment.
& more…..
Our website is newly designed and working well. We hope you have visited us. We hope you have signed up for our Book Club. We rely upon you!
If you have any comments or suggestions, please write to us at email@example.com and/or email@example.com.
Warm regards for 2016,
Sudhanva and Vijay.

"The 51 Day War is sure to be talked about for years to come.†– Reza Aslan, author of Zealot and No god but God
"Max Blumenthal audaciously takes in-your-face, on-the-ground journalism into the realm of geopolitics." – Juan Cole, author of The New Arabs and Engaging the Muslim World
Beginning July 8, 2014, Israel launched air strikes and a ground invasion of Gaza that lasted fifty-one days, leaving over 2,000 people dead, the vast majority of whom were civilians. During the assault, at least 10,000 homes were destroyed and, according to the United Nations, nearly 300,000 Palestinians were displaced.
Max Blumenthal was on the ground during what he argues was an entirely avoidable catastrophe. In this explosive work of reportage, Blumenthal reveals the harrowing conditions and cynical deceptions that led to the ruinous war. Here, for the first time, Blumenthal unearths and presents shocking evidence of atrocities he gathered in the rubble of Gaza.
Max Blumenthal is an award-winning journalist and best-selling author whose articles and video documentaries have appeared in New York Times, Daily Beast, Guardian, Huffington Post, Salon, Al Jazeera English and many other publications. He is the author of Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel and Republican Gomorrah: Inside The Movement That Shattered the Party.

BEREA, Ky. (AP) — A school that helps improve the lives of poverty-stricken Appalachian women is expanding its reach outside Kentucky to areas in Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia.
The headquarters for the New Opportunity School for Women is located at First Christian Church in Berea, Ky. Leaders moved it there last year after an arsonist destroyed the school's former building in 2011.
Now, school leaders tell the Lexington Herald Leader (http://bit.ly/10lvG4g) that they will soon be offering classes in three more states. Campuses will be located at Lees-McRae College in Banner Elk, N.C., Bluefield College in Bluefield, Va., and Maryville College in Maryville, Tenn.
The school provides classes to low-income, middle-age women from Appalachia who don't have the skills or education to get out of poverty. The program also offers the women clothing and accessories to wear to job interviews, and it has a dental fund.
"You can't build your self-esteem and have no teeth," said founder Jane Stephenson, whose late husband, John, was at one time president of Berea College.
As the Berea facility gets ready for its June session, officials heard that Gary Davidson, who was charged with arson and burglary for the 2011 fire, was sentenced to 10 years in prison and ordered to pay restitution.
Director Lori Sliwa said the fire was devastating, but donors have given generously to help the school rebuild.
For instance, the clothing closet at the school includes bright fashionable suits paired with scarves, pins and jewelry.
"They come in and they don't know how smart they are, how talented they are ... and they leave a piece of themselves with us, and I love it," Sliwa said.
George Ann Lakes, who attended New Opportunity school and now works for the organization, knows how the students feel.
"My mom only had a sixth-grade education. We just never had books. We played in the mountains. Education was not up front," she said.
In 1992, Jane Stephenson "allowed me to come with a stipulation that I go back" to school, Lakes said.
She eventually received a master's degree in social work from the University of Kentucky.
Sliwa said potential donors should understand that success might look different for each participant, but it's about giving them the tools to better their lives.
"They're not supporting a program per se," she said of donors. "They're supporting women."
School to help Appalachian women expanding
BEREA, Ky. (AP) — A school that helps improve the lives of poverty-stricken Appalachian women is expanding its reach outside Kentucky to areas in Tennessee, North Carolina and Virginia.

Jamie Waters, St. John-Hudson's version of the Energizer Bunny keeps on raking in the basketball accolades from around Central Kansas as she scored 13 points (nine of them from three 3-pointers) for the National Team
Jamie Waters, St. John-Hudson's version of the Energizer Bunny keeps on raking in the basketball accolades from around Central Kansas as she scored 13 points (nine of them from three, 3-pointers) for the National Team at the second annual Central Kansas All-Star Classic held at Barton County Community College last Sunday afternoon.
Waters, along with Pratt's Payton Hoeme and Garden Plain's Alli Heimerma, both playing for the American team were chosen "Most Valuable Players" of the game.
St. John's Morgan Osborne, who earlier in the season was "Most Valuable Player" at Pratt's Tournament of Champions, scored four points, making a 3-pointer and a free throw.
The Americans won the game 85-75.
Along with Osborne, Waters and Alexis Witt made the Tournament of Champions All-Tournament team.
Waters was also the "Most Valuable Player" at Larned's Keady Basketball Classic, while she, Osborne and Terresa Christie made the All-Tournament team.
Waters was the only CPL player to receive a unanimous vote and made the All-CPL first team along with Osborne. Christie made the second team and Witt the third team.
Waters and Osborne were very important elements in St. John's success these last four years, propelling the Lady Tigers on to the State finals several times. They will sorely be missed by their school, teammates and fans when they graduate this spring.
Coming later in early April, Waters and Osborne along with several of their teammates could be adding a few more honors to their basketball careers as the Kansas Basketball Coaches Association votes on the 1A (Div. I) All-State selection list.
The results will be listed on this blog as soon as they come in.

Midtown East, New York City Travel Guide
Midtown East Summary
- Grand Central Station, with multiple subway lines
- Premier shopping destination -- luxury boutiques and famous department stores
- Plentiful and cheap breakfast and lunch options
- Iconic skyscrapers such as the Chrysler Building and the Empire State Building
- Museum of Modern Art, or "the MoMA," within walking distance
- Five-minute taxi or short subway ride to the Guggenheim or Metropolitan Museum of Art along "Museum Mile"
- Five-minute taxi or subway to Times Square and Broadway theaters
- Catering mostly to office workers, the area is dull by day, dead by night.
- Scarce nightlife
- Fewer subway lines and transportation hubs than in Times Square and Midtown West
What It's Like
Midtown East is where many New Yorkers come to work. Iconic skyscrapers -- the Chrysler Building and the Seagram Building -- dominate the skyline. On the ground, plenty of delis and Starbucks cafes feed the cubicle occupants. Nightlife is scarce, but excellent, typically pricey, cuisine is always within walking distance. On its western border, 5th Avenue is home to shopping icons like Saks Fifth Avenue and Tiffany & Co., along with high-end flagships like Gucci and Versace. Madison Avenue, one block east, is also dotted with designer boutiques.
The area lacks the residential quaintness of the Upper West Side, and most insider haunts are found farther downtown. But subway access is ample, making it easy to venture anywhere in the city. Plus, the 24-hour, tourist-focused chaos of Times Square and the Theater District is just a long walk, short taxi, or brief subway ride away.
Where to Stay
There's no shortage of hotels here. The city's "grand hotels" -- such as the Waldorf-Astoria on Park Avenue -- are landmarks unto themselves. Upscale chain hotels like the family-friendly Marriott New York East Side, the hipper W New York, the strictly business Intercontinental, and the Hyatt cluster around Grand Central Station, one of New York's most historic transportation hubs. Charming boutique hotels, like the Hotel Elysee or the Alex hotel, are still to be found between the corporate towers. Also, since many hotels in Midtown East target weekday business travelers, there can be great deals to be found on the weekends.
Midtown East Hotel Guides
Most Romantic Hotels in Midtown East
New York may be the setting for about a thousand romantic movies, but the truth is it's hard for romance to blossom amid blaring taxis and jostling crowds. These hotels are quiet, relaxing, and filled with old New York charm.
Best Luxury Hotels in Midtown East
Some of the city's most iconic luxury hotels can be found in Midtown East, where guests are sure to encounter old-world opulence and historic charm.
Best Kid-Friendly Hotels in Midtown East
Midtown East may be home to the city's most famous toy store, FAO Schwarz, but rooms are often tiny and finding a great hotel for the family can be tricky. That's why we compiled a list of the best hotels for families in the area.
Best Hotel Spas in Midtown East
For spa lovers, a vacation just isn't a vacation without some regimented relaxation, especially in New York, where the grit and grime can really get under your skin -- both literally and figuratively. These Midtown East hotels have some of the best spas in the city.
Best Pet-Friendly Hotels in Midtown East
While many New York hotels allow pets, some hotels really go out of their way -- offering everything from gourmet food to pedicures. But animal lovers take note -- not all pets are created equal. Most hotels allow only small dogs and gear their amenities specifically toward them. If you're staying in Midtown East and your best friend is a cat, an iguana, or a 110-pound Great Dane, the Affinia Fifty will be the most accommodating. When booking at any hotel, be sure to let them know you're bringing a pet, and confirm their policies haven't changed. You'll want to be wary of steep fees, weight limits, and off-limits areas.

YREKA – A Yreka man was arrested Friday after he allegedly committed a carjacking in the parking lot of a Yreka bank, stated Yreka Police Department (YPD) Sgt. Ray Boutin.
James Matthew Wallace, 39, was charged with carjacking, grand theft of an auto, unlawful taking of a vehicle and driving on a suspended license. He was booked in the Siskiyou County Jail and his bail is set at $50,000.
Boutin stated that according to the police report, on Friday at approximately 2:50 p.m., the male victim parked his 2000 Mercury Villager sports van in the Premier West Bank parking lot, and entered the bank. He left keys in the ignition of the vehicle and he did not lock the doors.
As the victim entered the bank, he held the door open for Wallace who was exiting the establishment.
When the victim had completed his business in the bank, he walked outside and saw his vehicle moving, said Boutin.
The victim, whose age was not confirmed at print time, ran up to his vehicle and began pounding on the door and window, and shouting at the perpetrator. The victim chased the moving vehicle for a short period, and then called 9-1-1.
According to Boutin, the perpetrator sped west on North Street and then north on Oregon Street.
YPD viewed the bank's surveillance video and reportedly identified the perpetrator as Wallace, who Boutin said was a familiar face to bank employees.
Boutin noted that the victim also identified Wallace as the perpetrator.
Wallace was apprehended later that afternoon at his apartment in Yreka. However, the stolen vehicle was not in his possession.
YPD did not recover the stolen vehicle until Saturday. Boutin stated that it was found 300 yards northwest of Discovery Street behind a hill, and it was not visible from the road. He alleged there was evidence it had been abandoned at that location on Friday night.
Wallace was arraigned Monday in the Siskiyou County Superior Court. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Superior Court Judge Laura Masunaga scheduled Wallace to reappear in court on Feb. 14 for further proceedings.

"It's really a high-quality solution with a low cost, which is something that really differentiates it," Michael Stier told AdvisorOne at TD Ameritrade Institutional's annual conference in San Diego on Thursday.
Stier, CEO of Adhesion Wealth Advisor Solutions, was referring to last week's announcement that it is partnering with BlackRock (BLK) to offer the BlackRock Model Portfolios in its investment strategies lineup.
According to the company, Adhesion will offer the BlackRock models in an investable, turnkey solution—"giving RIAs the tools to put their clients' money to work within these model portfolios, combined with a comprehensive Investing-Monitoring-Reporting service.
"Because they are low cost, advisors will think they're for the bottom third of their books; those assets that don't generate a lot of fee income. But it really is for any advisor that wants to move away from picking individual stocks for clients to more of a role with active asset allocation."
Adhesion's latest announcement follows on an announcement from November about upgrades to the company's investing, monitoring and reporting platform.
"That's really about the UMH," Stier explained. "What it allows advisors to do is to report on assets that are held away. They can then have a target allocation for total assets. We provide alerts as to when maintenance must be done on the account and they can charge fees for that; they can charge fees on those held-away assets."
He added that it is also a business intelligence platform that does not swamp the advisor with data. It offers flexible filtering capabilities customized for their business.
Getting back to the BlackRock Model Portfolios, he noted they leverage BlackRock's proprietary risk analytics and investment systems with the financial markets and business process. Implemented via Adhesion's managed account platform, the BlackRock Model Portfolios deliver "an innovative, modular approach to constructing investment solutions for advisors' clients."
Specifics include:
Goal-oriented portfolio components that can be used independently or incorporated into a broader asset allocation program:
- Target Income Models – Aim to help clients generate annual income targets in a risk-efficient manner
- Hedged Income Models – Seek to deliver income while protecting against inflation and/or rising rates
- Tactical Equity Model – Seeks to deliver outperformance versus a global equity benchmark through tactical selection of regional and sector equity exposures
Strategic Index Models are a complete, turnkey asset allocation program using BlackRock ETFs and mutual funds;
- Portfolio construction process seeks to balance risk and return in a disciplined fashion leading to highly diversified and risk efficient portfolios for return delivery
- Intended to serve as a foundational strategic asset allocation, long-term in nature, with low annual turnover

I'll go first...
Looks like I will beat the March 1,2007 deadline for last semester's work... That means that after I get the credits for semester 2 I'll only have 3 credits left to get before I can graduate! And with the exception of one class that I HAVE to take (economics) I get to choose the other 5 classes when I go back to school after surgery most likely in 2008. That means that I'll get to walk to get my diploma afterall (even if it does mean that I'm graduating with the current Junior class... In the grand scheme of things is that really a huge deal?)!
So now it is your turn... It can be something that you think as of lame or it can be news that will blow us all away. Let's focus this thread in the positive that is going on in all of our lives (even though it is sometimes really hard to find the good when so mauch bad is going on...)

I appreciated Mr. Larry Neff's history lesson in response to my article last week on my granddad's contribution to Neosho's economic growth.
I appreciated Mr. Larry Neff's history lesson in response to my article last week on my granddad's contribution to Neosho's economic growth. It's always good that people know the history of how things became what they are today. We can also learn from history's mistakes and build on history's successes. Growing up around my granddad, and until his death in 2000, I learned a lot about business from him – most memorable to me being the importance of a firm handshake and standing behind one's word.
I want to start by clarifying a few things from that history lesson as some points became a bit muddied or taken out of context. Mr. Neff said "There has been little growth in the last three years and no doubt this will continue until the city council stops working against economic development efforts." That's a pretty bold statement. I won't take the time to list all of the ribbon cutting events and expansion awards that have been given out by the chamber over the past three years. But that statement on growth certainly doesn't reflect reality in more than one way.
That's not to say we've seen robust growth. But since my time on the council (which started in 2009), many factors have impacted growth in Neosho. One being the recession that plagued the country well into 2009 and unstable economic growth well into 2011 and beyond. With unemployment rates just now coming down below 8 percent, the last three years has been a struggle for everyone, not just Neosho. But despite the economic challenges faced by the country, we've seen some very good growth by a number of businesses and industries in Neosho – mine included. Another impact was the tornado of 2011 and the literally billions of dollars that will be invested in Joplin over the next decade to rebuild and compete for jobs and industry. It will be hard for ANY town around Joplin to compete with that.
As to working against economic development efforts, I'm not sure I agree there either. Past efforts of extending water and sewer service to new businesses still occurs. In fact, over the past three years, the council has approved 100 percent of the requests for such extensions to help new businesses. We've also prioritized efforts to resurface Hwy 59 and streets in front of Wal-Mart to keep our retail area appealing (The council did cancel the chamber contract paid for by the ED sales tax fund, but that was because those funds were prohibited by law from being spent for such uses).
Neff also made a point to mention that my business (like all other businesses in the industrial park) received short-term tax abatement on any new investment. That's true. But to get it, you have to spend it. I spent over $500,000 on a new building to create more jobs and grow my business. For that, I'm given a few years (and a few thousand dollars) of property tax abatement. The Enhanced Enterprise Zone provides for that to happen, but it requires PRIVATE investment and job creation FIRST! (FYI, that zone was created in 1990 and renewed in 2004. It is administered by Mr. Gib Garrow and others at the chamber – not the city of Neosho.)
Lastly, and most important, is the point that I was hoping to make from last week – that being the need for continued PRIVATE investment and to avoid the move toward GOVERNMENT (a.k.a. the taxpayer) taking the place of and assuming risk for the private investor. All of the historical events that Mr. Neff spoke about revolved around private groups spending millions of dollars to make projects happen. But the new TDD and its $10-plus million budget in TAXPAYER-funded spending is, at least in part, speculative. It's assuming that putting in roads and having more-convenient access to property will draw business – speculation being paid for by the taxpayer – speculation that would once have been paid for by private investors like Mr. Neff and Mr. Clemons. (We learned from Hwy 86 speculation that spending millions in taxpayer funds on widening it didn't equate to the economic boom some sought.)
So I again thank Mr. Neff and applaud the work he, Mr. Foster, Mr. Clemons and others did to make Neosho what it is today. But remember, just because a group of five elected officials occasionally raises a question or insists on doing things the different way, it doesn't mean we're against economic development. We just have some additional roles and responsibilities to those who put us in office – the people. We are responsible and accountable to them on how we spend the people's money.
Good luck to the local dancers competing this weekend in Oklahoma City (my daughter Kyndall is one of them.) If you have time, make a point to come down Tuesday morning for the ribbon cutting and expansion awards for Mitchell's Downtown Drug Store and Prime Care Family Medicine. They are located just east of the post office. It starts at 8 a.m. I hope to see you there!
Until next time: keep the faith, stay the course, and may God bless Neosho!

From his military background to his golf struggles to the tragic loss of his father, Billy Hurley III was a compelling winner.
The future looks bright for Billy Hurley III following his fairy-tale win at the Quicken Loans. It's a lot more murky for event host Tiger Woods.
Opinion & Analysis
A rules snafu at the worst possible time at the U.S. Open and another Olympic snub dominate this week's edition of Cut Line.
Even if others follow Rory McIlroy's lead to skip the Olympics, it doesn't necessarily mean the end of golf in the Games.

Hamlet's first words: "Who's there?". The rest of this stunning production answers that initial question. Hamlet is the "mirror of fashion" and most of the other characters reflect some aspect of him.
But who is Hamlet? Hamlet the soldier rants in golden couplets of warlike noise, while Hamlet the scholar unfolds himself through ambivalence and double meanings.
"Something is rotten in the state of Denmark."
Perchance that's the situation in Denmark, but certainly not at The Roselle Center for the Arts. This is the tightest, most concise, fluid, potent and understandable HAMLET Aisle Say has ever witnessed. It is possibly the quickest 2.5 hours I've ever spent in 50 years of theatre in a non-musical. Director Mark Lamos takes the credit for this. And, if you attend - and you quite must - fail not, sweet prince, to peruse his credits and those of the cast and crew. This is a full-throated, roaring production that parallels anything Broadway has to offer.
"What a piece of work is a man! How noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form, in moving, how express and admirable!"
And what a piece of work are the technical aspects! Alexander Dodge's scenic design portrays the portent of foreboding and ominous things to come. He works in concert with Matthew Richards' light design to give textures and ambiance. Fabio Toblini's costumes are sumptuous. The use of red on Gertrude and Hamlet stand in bold relief to the forbidding dark castle walls.
"To be or not to be, that is the question,
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles..."
Michael Gotch (Hamlet) brings a nobility and a suffering to this prince. His continually changing mood swings take him from the conversational to the kinetic. He neither over dramatizes the most compelling lines nor pontificates the lesser ones. His words are only one avenue of interpretation; his expressions and body language are the others. His frenetic rant on hearing Ophelia's death was particularly compelling.
"O! my offence is rank, it smells to heaven."
Stephen Pelinski (Claudius) plays the murderous, hypocrite King. He plays it with little coyness or scheming, thereby almost fooling the audience into believing that such a man could not harbor the malevolence that propels him to kill.
"Get thee to a nunnery."
Erin Partin (Ophelia) enters her 4th season with REP. With each year one has witnessed the ascending quality and importance of the characters she portrays. Initially the roles were walk-ons (although we all know "there are no small parts, only small actors")! Ophelia is Partin's breakout role. Her nunnery days are over. Never could one be so harmoniously cast. Her hair could not have been more perfect; her diaphanous gowns more better selected. Her (multitudinous) crying scenes were so very heart wrenching. Her swooning scene created a shock wave of palpable raw emotion that blew over the audience.
"Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportion'd thought his act."
Be thou familiar, but by no means vulgar; Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express'd in fancy; rich, not gaudy; For the apparel oft proclaims the man.
Neither a borrower, nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry. This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."
"Brevity is the soul of wit"
Steve Tague (Polonius) follows closely the title character himself in the richness and substance of his lines. His reflections to son Laertes are known to every lover of Shakespeare. While he espouses brevity, the man himself does not follow his words...and fortunate for us one of the great comedic actors of REP is here to charm and entertain with his befuddlement. Tague's characterization was a gift to be a part of.
"Alas! poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest,"
Carine Montbertrand (Grave Digger) crossed dressed as the lead character in UTURO URI seasons back. In an inspirational piece of casting, she appears as the bearded excavator of poor Yorick's head. In URI she resembled Hitler. For those 55 years and older, she is reminiscent of Clayton Moore of "The Lone Ranger" TV series. When Kemo Sabe wanted to don another persona to corral those bad hombres, he would disguise himself in the character of a grizzled old prospector with an equally grizzled beard. Montbertrand was his doppelganger.
"The play's the thing wherein I will catch the conscience of the King"
This production ranks with the best REP has ever offered in their brief 4 year experience.
There is both madness and method in this singular production. Do not allow either your lady or your gentleman to protest too much to impede attendance. Words, words, words...delightfully said. Good night, sweet prince, and may flights of angels speed thee to the Roselle Center.

PITTSBURGH — Officials from Western Pennsylvania and Gov. Tom Corbett's administration reportedly are talking to US Airways executives in an effort to keep the airline from moving 600 jobs from a suburban Pittsburgh flight operations center.
The airline plans an $11 billion merger with American Airlines that will produce the world's biggest airline. As a result, US Airways says it might close the $32 million flight operations center and consolidate it with American's larger facility in Dallas.
In 2007, US Airways accepted $4 million in state taxpayer grants and tax credits to open the center.

Tangible Value
From HaskellWiki
1 Abstract
TV is a library for composing tangible values ("TVs"), i.e., values that carry along external interfaces. In particular, TVs can be composed to create new TVs, and they can be directly executed with a friendly GUI, a process that reads and writes character streams, or many other kinds interfaces. Values and interfaces are combined for direct use, and separable for composition. This combination makes for software that is ready to use and ready to reuse.
TV can be thought of as a simple functional formulation of the Model-View-Controller pattern. (My thanks to an anonymous ICFP referee for pointing out this connection.) The value part of a TV is the model, and the "interface" part, or "output" as it is called below, is the viewer. Outputs are built up compositionally from other outputs and from inputs (the controllers), as described below.
Besides this wiki page, here are more ways to learn about TV:
- Visit the Hackage page for library documentation.
- Install with cabal install TV.
As of version 0.2, I have moved the GUI functionality out of TV and into a small new package GuiTV. I moved it out to eliminate the dependency of core TV on Phooey and hence on wxHaskell, as the latter can be difficult to install. The GUI examples below require GuiTV.
GuiTV (better named "wxTV") is bit-rotten. There is also a very similar package to generate Gtk-based GUIs.
I'd love to hear your comments at the Talk:TV page.
2 First Example
Here is a tangible reverse function:
reverseT :: CTV (String -> String) reverseT = tv (oTitle "reverse" defaultOut) reverse
We'll see later that "
runUI reverseT runIO reverseT *Examples> runIO reverseT reverse: Hello, reversible world. .dlrow elbisrever ,olleH *Examples>
3 OutputsWhat I've been calling an "interface" is a value of type
total :: Show a => COutput a total = oTitle "total" showOut
4 Inputs and function-valued outputs
Just as an output is a way to deliver (or consume) a value, an "input" is a way to obtain (or produce) a value. For example, here are two inputs, each specifying an initial value and a value range, and each given a title.
apples, bananas :: CInput Int apples = iTitle "apples" defaultIn bananas = iTitle "bananas" defaultIn
shoppingO :: COutput (Int -> Int -> Int) shoppingO = oTitle "shopping list" $ oLambda apples (oLambda bananas total)
And a TV:
shopping :: CTV (Int -> Int -> Int) shopping = tv shoppingO (+)
runUI shopping runIO shopping shopping list: apples: 8 bananas: 5 total: 13
5 A variation
Here is an uncurried variation:
shoppingPr :: CTV ((Int,Int) -> Int) shoppingPr = tv ( oTitle "shopping list -- uncurried" $ oLambda (iPair apples bananas) total ) (uncurry (+))
shoppingPr = uncurryA $$ shopping
runUI shoppingPr runIO shoppingPr shopping list -- uncurried: apples: 8 bananas: 5 total: 13
6 The general story
TVs, outputs, and inputs are not restricted to GUIs and IO. In general, they are parameterized by the mechanics of "transmitting values", i.e., delivering ("sinking") output and gathering ("sourcing") input.
data Input src a data Output src snk a type TV src snk a
The "sources" will be applicative functors (AFs), and the "sinks" will be contravariant functors.In the examples above, we've used two different mechanisms, namely Phooey's
runUI :: TV UI IU a -> IO () runUI = runTV runIO :: TV IO OI a -> IO () runIO = runTV
7 Common Ins and OutsThe examples
type CInput a = forall src. (CommonIns src) => Input src a type COutput a = forall src snk. (CommonIns src, CommonOuts snk) => Output src snk a type CTV a = forall src snk. (CommonIns src, CommonOuts snk) => TV src snk a
8 Sorting examplesHere's a sorting TV (see

Note that
sortT :: (Read a, Show a, Ord a) => CTV ([a] -> [a]) sortT = tv (oTitle "sort" $ interactLineRS []) sort
- runUI (sortT :: CTV ([String] -> [String]))
9 Composition of TVs
So far, we done a little composition of interfaces and combined them with values to construct TVs. Now let's look at composition of TVs.First, wrap up the
wordsT :: CTV (String -> [String]) wordsT = tv ( oTitle "function: words" $ oLambda (iTitle "sentence in" defaultIn) (oTitle "words out" defaultOut)) words
Finally, compose
unwordsT :: CTV ([String] -> String) unwordsT = tv ( oTitle "function: unwords" $ oLambda (iTitle "words in" defaultIn) (oTitle "sentence out" defaultOut)) unwords
sortWordsT :: CTV (String -> String) sortWordsT = wordsT ->| sortT ->| unwordsT
The operator "

runUI sortWordsT runIO sortWordsT sentence in: The night Max wore his wolf suit sentence out: Max The his night suit wolf wore
10 Transmission-specific interfaces
While some interfaces can be implemented for different means of transmission, others are more specialized.
10.1 GUIs
Here are inputs for our shopping example above that specifically work with Phooey's UI applicative functor.
applesU, bananasU :: Input UI Int applesU = iTitle "apples" (islider 3 (0,10)) bananasU = iTitle "bananas" (islider 7 (0,10)) shoppingUO :: Output UI (Int -> Int -> Int) shoppingUO = oTitle "shopping list" $ oLambda applesU (oLambda bananasU total)
We can then make curried and uncurried TVs:
Note: We could define other type classes, besides
code runUI rendering tv shoppingUO (+) uncurryA $$ tv shoppingUO (+)
10.2 IOWe can use
interactOut :: Output IO OI (String -> String) interactOut = oLambda contentsIn stringOut
Assuming we have a file "test.txt" containing some lines of text, we can use it to test string transformations.
testO :: Output IO OI (String -> String) testO = oLambda (fileIn "test.txt") defaultOut
First, let's define higher-order functions that apply another function to the lines or on the words of a string.
onLines, onWords :: ([String] -> [String]) -> (String -> String) onLines f = unlines . f . lines onWords f = unwords . f . words
Next, specializations that operate on each line or word:
perLine,perWord :: (String -> String) -> (String -> String) perLine f = onLines (map f) perWord f = onWords (map f)
Some examples:
string functionf runIO (tv test0 f) id To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. - William Blake reverse ekalB mailliW - .ruoh na ni ytinretE dnA dnah ruoy fo mlap eht ni ytinifnI dloH ,rewolF dliW a ni nevaeH a dnA dnaS fo niarG a ni dlroW a ees oT onLines reverse - William Blake And Eternity in an hour. Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, To see a World in a Grain of Sand perLine reverse dnaS fo niarG a ni dlroW a ees oT ,rewolF dliW a ni nevaeH a dnA dnah ruoy fo mlap eht ni ytinifnI dloH .ruoh na ni ytinretE dnA ekalB mailliW - perLine (perWord reverse) oT ees a dlroW ni a niarG fo dnaS dnA a nevaeH ni a dliW ,rewolF dloH ytinifnI ni eht mlap fo ruoy dnah dnA ytinretE ni na .ruoh - mailliW ekalB
There are more examples in the TV repository and in the in the GuiTV repository. See also "separating IO from logic -- example".

All measurements are performed on the RAW image file BEFORE demosaicing or other processing prior to final image delivery. DxOMark does not address such other important criteria as image signal processing, mechanical robustness, ease of use, flexibility, optics quality, value for money, etc. While RAW sensor performance is critically important, it is not the only factor that should be taken into consideration when choosing a digital camera.
Sensor Overall Score
- Sensor Overall Score AND resolution are two independent metrics of sensor performance. This means that just because camera A has more pixels than camera B (and thus sees more details) does not mean that camera A's Sensor Overall Score will be better. Rather, Sensor Overall Score measures the quality of the captured signal, either at a pixel level or at the full sensor level. So before comparing cameras with Sensor Overall Score, it is important to first determine the resolution you are looking for (which largely depends on the size of the screen or the print you intend to use or produce).
Once you choose an appropriate resolution, the Sensor Overall Score becomes a fair and powerful tool with which to make comparisons.
In a camera, resolution is dependent on both sensor and lens performances. So to compare and rank digital cameras while taking resolution into account, you should look at the DxOMark Score for lenses (with camera), which weighs a number of image quality parameters, including resolution.
- Sensor Overall Score is logarithmic. A 5-point difference on the scale corresponds to a gain or loss of sensitivity of 1/3 of a stop.
- Sensor Overall Score is normalized for a defined printing scenario—8Mpix printed on 8"x12" (20cmx30cm) at 300dpi resolution. Any other normalization, even at a higher resolution, would lead to the same ranking, given that any camera that could not deliver the chosen resolution would be eliminated from the comparison.
- Sensor Overall Score is open and it is not a percentage. This score has been computed so that the current set of cameras, from low-end DSCs up to professional DSLRs and medium-format cameras, show results within a range from 0 to 100. However, new technologies may well lead to higher performance models.
Sensor Use Case Scores
- Each sensor use case score is defined by a specific image quality metric. Therefore the reported value for each score is expressed with the unit of the corresponding metric, as follows:
- Portrait Score is defined as the color depth performance and its unit is a number of bits;
- Landscape Score is defined as the maximum dynamic range performance and its unit is an exposure value (EV);
- Sports Score is defined as the low-light sensitivity performance and its unit is an ISO sensitivity value.
To better use Sensor Scores:
- Identify your preferred use case: General purpose, Portrait, Landscape, and/or Sports.
- Choose the resolution that you need for the kind of photography you do.
- If you shoot in RAW, Sensor Scores will help you rank the best cameras according to the resolution and use case(s) that you have chosen.

They have also posted an article outlining what's new in the camera:
Press Release
INTRODUCING THE ULTIMATE MULTIMEDIA IMAGING SOLUTION: THE NEW CANON EOS-1D MARK IV DIGITAL SLR CAMERA The EOS-1D Mark IV Features a Completely Redesigned 45-Point Autofocus System, Fast 10 fps Continuous Shooting, 16-Megapixel Resolution, Outstanding ISO Sensitivity, and Full HD Video Recording at Selectable Frame Rates LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., October 20, 2009 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging, is proud to introduce the next evolution in the EOS 1D series of cameras: the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR camera. The EOS-1D Mark IV is a high-speed multimedia performance monster with a 16-megapixel Canon CMOS sensor, Dual DIGIC 4 Imaging Processors, and 14-bit A/D data conversion, all at 10 frames-per-second (fps), with the widest ISO range Canon has produced to date. This new camera also features 1080p Full High-Definition video capture at selectable frame rates packaged in Canon's most rugged and durable professional camera body.
The crowning achievement of Canon's 1D Mark IV Digital SLR is its new autofocus system that starts with 45 AF points including 39 high-precision cross-type focusing points capable of tracking fast moving athletes or wildlife accurately at speeds up to 10 frames per second. With greater subject detection capability than ever before plus a newly redesigned AI Servo II AF predictive focusing algorithm, the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV camera sets new standards for autofocus performance among professional digital SLRs. Whether shooting for the six o'clock news or the front page, the EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR is the quintessential camera to freeze fast-moving action with high-speed stills or capture stunning HD video with dynamic color and image quality. To accompany the new EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR camera, Canon is also announcing a new accessory, the WFT-E2 II A wireless file transmitter providing photographers with a wide range of professional digital connectivity options.
"Canon works hard to be the imaging leader in all our business endeavors. This goal has fueled our innovation and R&D efforts to engineer the most advanced autofocus system Canon has ever produced. We are proud to announce the camera that will deliver the ultimate in imaging quality to professionals working in all areas of multimedia imaging, whether it's action photography, photojournalism or HD video and cinematography," stated Yuichi Ishizuka, senior vice president and general manager, Consumer Imaging Group, Canon U.S.A.
The Canon EOS-1D Mark IV camera will intrigue professional photographers in virtually every category from photojournalism and sports through nature, wedding, portrait and fashion to commercial, industrial and law enforcement. What makes the EOS-1D Mark IV camera different from its predecessors, in addition to numerous focusing system and image quality improvements, is its exceptional Full HD video capture capability. With this new level of functionality, the 1D Mark IV Digital SLR is destined to appeal not only to professional still photographers but also to a diverse market of professional videographers and filmmakers who are looking for exceptional Full HD video quality, amazing low-light performance, outstanding portability and a level of durability unheard of in most HD video cameras in this price range.
New 45-Point Autofocus System
The new EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR camera features Canon's most advanced Autofocus system to date. It is equipped with a newly developed 45-point AF sensor featuring 39 high-precision cross-type AF points, and an all new AI Servo II AF mode that gives still photographers the power and performance to track and focus a fast-moving subject at speeds up to 10 frames per second. With more than twice as many cross-type focusing points as the EOS-1D Mark III and a new AF sensor construction that improves performance in low light and with low contrast subjects, the EOS-1D Mark IV has greater subject detection capabilities than any previous EOS model. To complete the range of AF improvements, Canon has developed a new AI Servo II AF predictive focusing algorithm that significantly improves responsiveness and stability by making better decisions on focus tracking in a variety of shooting conditions.
Amazing High ISO Performance
Wedding and event photographers shooting in low light without the benefit of a flash can take advantage of Canon's widest ISO range and highest performance ever. The EOS-1D Mark IV camera's ISO speed settings range from 100 up to 12,800 in 1/3 or 1/2 stop increments with ISO Expansion settings of L: 50 for bright light or H1: 25,600, H2: 51,200, and H3: 102,400 for even the most dimly lit situations. Photographers and documentary filmmakers working in available light will be impressed by the low-noise image quality of the 1D Mark IV, capturing amazing still images and video footage even at speed settings as high as ISO 12,800. High ISO, low light still images are further enhanced by Canon's adjustable High ISO Noise Reduction feature, now a default setting in the camera.
The EOS-1D Mark IV, EOS HD Video Powerhouse
Over the past year, Canon's EOS HD Video technology has changed the way users capture 1080p HD video and opened new doors for multimedia journalists and Hollywood cinematographers alike with full manual exposure control, selectable frame rates, and interchangeable lenses on some of the largest and most sensitive image sensors on the market. Canon continues this innovation trend with the new EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR with Full HD capture and full manual exposure control, plus selectable frame rates on an all-new APS-H-sized image sensor that's similar in size to a Super 35mm motion picture film frame. The large sensor allows filmmakers to achieve shallow depth-of-field just as cinematographers have traditionally done using much higher-cost motion picture equipment.
The more than 50 Canon EF lenses compatible with the EOS-1D Mark IV give videographers incredible creative options, including an impressive selection of large-aperture professional L-series primes as well as zoom lenses, macro, Tilt-Shift and Fisheye optics. The Canon EOS-1D Mark IV allows for three video recording resolutions - 1080p Full HD and 720p HD in a 16:9 aspect ratio and Standard Definition (SD) in a 4:3 aspect ratio. The camera will record Full HD at 1920 x 1080 in selectable frame rates of 24p (23.976), 25p, or 30p (29.97); and 720p HD or SD video recording at either 50p or 60p (59.94). SD video can be recorded in either NTSC or PAL standards. Sound is recorded either through the internal monaural microphone or via optional external microphones connected to the stereo microphone input. The camera also provides an in-camera video editing function allowing users to remove the start or ending of a video clip directly in the camera to eliminate unwanted footage and speed up post-production.
Image Quality and Performance
The heart of the EOS-1D Mark IV camera's outstanding image quality is a newly developed 16.1-Megapixel CMOS sensor featuring Canon's latest and most advanced proprietary technologies. These technologies include improved photodiode construction to enhance dynamic range and gapless microlenses that are positioned closer to the photodiodes for improved light gathering efficiency. The transmissive quality of the color filter array has been enhanced to improve sensitivity. Canon has also upgraded the sensor circuitry to improve noise reduction before the image data is exported from the CMOS sensor to the rest of the image processing chain.
With 60 percent more pixels than the EOS-1D Mark III, the EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR employs Dual DIGIC 4 Image Processors with approximately six times the processing power of DIGIC III for full 14-bit A/D conversion at 10 fps. High-speed continuous shooting up to 121 Large JPEGs is possible using a UDMA CF card. This camera also features three RAW shooting modes for versatility with Full RAW (approx. 16 million pixels), M-RAW (approx. nine million pixels), and S-RAW (approx. four million pixels). Three additional JPEG recording formats (M1, M2 and Small) are also available.
The 14-bit per channel conversion facilitated by the dual DIGIC 4 Processors provides smoother tonalities in final images capturing all 16,384 distinct tones in each channel (red, green and blue) at the full 10 fps frame rate. RAW images shot on the new Canon EOS-1D Mark IV use the entire 14-bit space when converted to 16-bit TIFF files in Canon Digital Photo Professional (DPP) software, which is supplied with the camera at no extra charge. The 14-bit A/D conversion is also the foundation for Canon's Highlight Tone Priority feature that takes maximum advantage of the camera's extensive dynamic range to preserve detail in highlight areas of the image. Canon's new EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR also features an improved white balance algorithm making colors more accurate when shooting under low color temperature light sources such as household tungsten lamps.
The EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR features Canon's Peripheral Illumination Correction function which corrects darkening that can occur in the corners of images with most lenses when used at their largest apertures. When activated, it is automatically applied to JPEG images and video clips as they are shot. For RAW images, it can be applied in DPP software.
Other new features include a large three-inch solid structure Clear View II LCD screen with 920,000 dot/VGA resolution and a wide 160-degree viewing angle for enhanced clarity and more precise color when reviewing images and shooting video. The new in-camera copyright information feature helps professionals secure control over images by setting copyright data directly into the camera and appending that information to each image file in the Exif metadata. Additional features include a fluorine coating on the Low Pass Filter to further repel dust and enhance the EOS Integrated Cleaning System.
Minimize Post-Production with Enhanced Canon Auto Lighting Optimizer
Action photography truly is all about speed, capturing a fast subject with fast focusing and fast frame rates. However, all this speed might be wasted if it is slowed down by lengthy post-production procedures to adjust image quality. The EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR helps reduce post-production work with a powerful new Auto Lighting Optimizer (ALO) system. When enabled, Canon's ALO automatically adjusts the image for optimal brightness and contrast on the fly during in-camera image processing, reducing clipped highlights while keeping shadowed areas as clear and detailed as they actually appear. By optimizing brightness and contrast in-camera, Canon's ALO system significantly reduces the need for post-production image optimization, and gives photographers image quality they can take directly to press. Demanding professional photographers who tested ALO clearly stated that this one feature will reduce their post-production image optimization process by more than 75 percent. Canon's ALO works with both RAWi and JPEG images as well as video recording.
Rugged Reliability
Canon has taken every measure to ensure that the EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR camera has the highest degree of weather resistance in the EOS line. The 1D Mark IV camera incorporates a wide range of design features that enhance its durability and reliability for professional assignments. For example, the 1D Mark IV's body, chassis and lens mount are completely weather-resistant and 76 gaskets and seals surround all buttons and seams. The body covers and internal chassis, including the mirror box, are constructed with magnesium-alloy, one of the strongest and rigid metals available for its weight. For added strength, the lens mount is constructed with stainless steel. In fact, when used with Canon's Speedlite 580EX II and/or most current L-series lenses, the entire camera system remains fully weather resistant, so professionals can concentrate on getting the shot instead of worrying about protecting their gear.
New Wireless Connectivity
Canon is announcing the availability of the new WFT-E2 II A* wireless file transmitter exclusively for the EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR camera. The WFT-E2 II A wireless transmitter is an extremely small and versatile device that offers professional photographers a wide range of digital connectivity options including IEEE802.11a/b/g and Ethernet, ideal for commercial and studio work. In addition to adding the ability to connect to wireless networks over 802.11a, the new WFT-E2 II A adds a wealth of new professional features to the photographer's tool kit. The new Camera Linking feature allows a single photographer to simultaneously fire up to 10 cameras remotely; and the updated WFT Server mode lets you remotely use Live View, control settings, and fire the EOS-1D Mark IV over the internet from anywhere in the world using a standard Web browser or many Web-enabled smart phones. Additionally, geotagging is now possible via Bluetooth, using compatible GPS devices to append coordinate data to the images.
Pricing and Availability
The Canon EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR camera is scheduled to be delivered to U.S. dealers in late December, and will be sold in a body-only configuration at an estimated retail price of $4,999.00ii. Final pricing and availability for the Canon WFT-E2 II A wireless file transmitter will be available later this year.

The ISO stayed locked in the 6400 ASA range - with a very few shots hovering 1 stop above and one or two set to 3200 ASA because we had TOO MUCH depth of field…(on the bridge.) At one point I found myself shooting at 12,800 ASA by mistake - and I didn't even notice any noise on the rear LCD in the skies… 6400 ASA is the new 1600 ASA - maybe even the new 800 ASA. Stop to ponder that for a second - and what it can mean to the way you approach your craft.

$5,000.00 versus $1700.00 (for a 7D). What am I missing here worth the $3K+ difference? I read the stats and don't see the value. But then again, this is the camera your boss buys you, right?
For starters the body is way more robust and tolerant of water than the 7D. The motor drive is much faster as well. I hope my boss does buy this for me but I doubt he will the way the economy is right now. But I'd love to have one.
Now if this baby can avoid the issue surrounding the Mark III I think Canon just gave Nikon a serious run. The stats look impressive to me.

Ok, that was pretty cool. I don't do productions like that but suffice it to say the video out of that camera would do just fine for what I do for our paper's website.

I ordered my new MKIV yesterday, and am convinced it will work in my SEACAM MKIII housing. The combination of 1DsMKIII for high res (until 1DsMKIV is released) and the 1DMKIV for video, high ISO, rapid motor drive, and cropped sensor advantages with telephoto & some wide angle lenses ... all in the same housing ... is very compelling!
Plus, enhanced AF with MKIV is a significant advantage for shooting action, and I have no doubt that the 14-bit files @ 16MB will be very impressive. I expect this to be my go-to camera for many applications.

Oh boyoboyoboy! Sounds like the idea rig for big animal action shooting (sharks in particular!)...as long as strobes can keep up!
I had my MKIV in my Seacam MKIII housing earlier this week. Plug and play, no worries. Of course I couldn't access FEL quite yet. Harald is making a "claw", as he calls it, that will replace ISO button and engage FEL. That will be available early February.
See http://stephenfrink....lis-shoots.html for some MKIV production shots, behind scenes on ad shoot.
So, that means 3 options for MKIV with Seacam:
1. Replace ISO lever with FEL control and run ISO via Custom Function
2. Send Housing back to Seacam to get MKIII retrofit to MKIV FEL button.
3. Buy MKIV housing, which of course gives other upgrades typical of all newer Seacam housings.

Been in Cayman this week shooting a catalog for Subgear. Just yesterday I got around to shooting with my MKIV in my Seacam MKIII housing. Prior to that I'd been shooting my 5dMKII.
A few first impressions on MKIV:
1. Holy crap ... AF is so nice. Very fast and accurate, even in low contrast subjects like black wetsuits.
Focus acquisition is brilliant. Having shot my 5DII in similar conditions the 2 previous days, the improvement is striking.
2. Studying the files, I like what I see, but the full frame sensor will always have advantages over a cropped sensor, all else being equal. Very nice, but the extra real estate on the sensor is meaningful. No surprise. Combination 1DsMKIII at full frame and MKIV with cropped sensor and 10 frames per second, in same housing, is very compelling for me.
3. It hits color quite well also. The topside stuff I shot in auto white balance is spot on, no slider controls necessary in Lightroom.
4. The 16-35II isn't as wide as I'd like at the wide end, but becomes a better fish portrait lens at 35mm. I expect I'll use it quite a bit in the Maldives in 2 weeks since I'm not shooting people much. But, the big advantage is the AF focus. For UW use, quite fast and accurate. Can't remember any searching at all, but I only shot wide on this project. Still, I expect it to be stellar with 100mm macro.
5. And finally, while I haven't tested extensively, the 14mm II looks like it gains new life with the cropped sensor. Pretty impressive. (Superdome and PVL20) It won't even be as compact as a Nikonos and 15mm lens as mythic Holy Grail, but the performance as a wide prime with excellent depth of field, nice corners, and performance far superior to film is very, very promising. More on that after the Maldives trip.
Here's a few product shots from yesterday with MKIV, although sized too small to see meaningful resolution judgment. They are nice files though, very impressive in full res.
MKIII Seacam housing was plug and play. Just slid MKIV in MKIII housing and went off to shoot.

Take a look, they are updating the Firmeware
Details of the enhancement:
Firmware Version 1.0.6 enhances the AF tracking performance of the EOS-1D Mark IV for receding subjects and for subjects that are approaching at a low speed.
