News Gonzo to Establish Okinawa Studio in April
posted on 2012-02-22 23:14 EST
The Ryukyu Shimpo newspaper reported on Thursday that the anime studio Gonzo will establish a local subsidiary in Ginowan City, Okinawa, roughly 1,500 kilometers or nearly a thousand miles from its Tokyo headquarters. The studio will include digital production facilities for computer graphics production and editing work.
The company will hire 10 employees at first for the local studio, and plans to develop and introduce methods there for further optimizing the animation production process through digital technology. Shinichiro Ishikawa, the company's executive vice president, stated that he would like to create a multifaceted media industry in Okinawa that will attract international projects to the prefecture.

Meet Holling Hoodhood, a seventh-grader at Camillo Junior High, who must spend Wednesday afternoons with his teacher, Mrs. Baker, while the rest of the class has religious instruction. Mrs. Baker doesn't like Hollinghe's sure of it. Why else would she make him read the plays of William Shakespeare outside class? But everyone has bigger things to worry about, like Vietnam. His father wants Holling and his sister to be on their best behavior: the success of his business depends on it. But how can Holling stay out of trouble when he has so much to contend with? A bully demanding cream puffs; angry rats; and a baseball hero signing autographs the very same night Holling has to appear in a play in yellow tights! As fate sneaks up on him again and again, Holling finds Motivationthe Big Min the most unexpected places and musters up the courage to embrace his destiny, in spite of himself.

It's been wait but Chapter 4 is finally done. Hope you enjoy.
My attention now turns to the next chapter, as you might know it will be the first to be animated and voiced. I'm pretty excited about this.
I'd also like to point your attention to the IndieGoGo funding drive for Chapter 5, if you can contribute any amount of your hard earned denero to the cause I'd be very appreciative. Or even just spread the word to people you know.
the link is: http://www.indiegogo.com/
Anyway thanks to everyone as always for your continued interest in my work.
not bad but
this part is worser than firs ones.
1- when jan was stabed with katana she couldnt live even for five min but we saw that killer took her and she was steel alive when he arrived.
2-when jans friend found her he first said " are u ok?" she said " had been better"
and then he left her to take some of killers papers! Dont u think thats strange? wut a bastard he must be to do that!
Fridge logic'd
Music, art, all good as the others :D
On the other hand, I didn't get how Armand leaves Jan (even for a second) while she's bleeding to death. Right, the sword through the chest must've missed a particularly vital spot, I can handle that much, but going from walking to dead so neatly just didn't work.
One last thing - Since Jan managed to off Lacorse or whoever (seemingly a master fighter) she must've done it pretty quickly to get him with his guard down (Okay, so she's on the end of his sword, not the most likely spot for retaliation) but it looked a bit slow and painful. This bloke practically dodges bullets.
But yeah, otherwise great stuff :)
Wait a minute...
Lacorse doesn't want Mason killed because he's "innocent," yet he had no problem killing those two guys in chapter 1? Doesn't seem consistent.
Mason didn't get in the way, the others did, same with the cops.
Truly Fascinating, the entire series.
The style of "animation" is intriguing, as well as the Retrofuturistic, almost steampunk design of everything. The world you are painting, especially with the Church design, is a strangely refreshing take. You tell a great deal without saying a single word in explanation.
The plot is enrapturing, from the simple interactions between Jan and Armand, to the hints of some much greater plan by Father Mason and the (Regrettably) deceased Lacorse.
I see great things for this, I really do.
One part bothered me. When Jan is bleeding and Ar comes and says "are you okay?"...no shit shes not okay. shes bleeding from head to toe.. its awkward speech because you wouldnt say that if you saw someone bleeding to death. besides that fantastic

Each year, 10 million people are diagnosed with
cancer around the world, and over 6 million people die from
cancer. In 2003, cancer overtook heart disease as the leading
cause of death in both men and women in the
As the population ages, the incidence of many cancers is
increasing. The number of people living with cancer also
continues to increase. This is because of improvements in
treatments, which prolong people's lives, and because some cancers
are being detected earlier, as a result of screening.
There have been some major advances in the treatment of cancer
in the past 20 years. However, in most cases advances in
treatment and detection are modest. In this situation,
randomised clinical trials are very important.
The main objectives of the MRC Clinical Trials Unit Cancer Group
are to
The majority of the Cancer Group's work involves the design,
conduct and analysis of clinical trials, covering many different
types of cancer. We have approximately 10 open trials at
any one time, and most of our trials are large randomised
controlled trials, which compare two or more treatments.
Treatments being compared include chemotherapy, radiotherapy,
biological agents, surgery or combinations of these.
In some trials, we also test non-therapeutic approaches such as
different follow-up policies.
Our trials aim to compare treatments by looking at survival,
recurrence, side effects and quality of life.

I have eaten here 4 or 5 times and was impressed with every food item and dining experience I've had in this quality restaurant. The food is excellent and the staff provides great service, with just the right amount of wait time (18-20 minutes) before the main course arrives. Good portions and fresh ingredients. I agree with other reviewers who say the place can get a bit crowded and noisy, but I guess this is what one would expect from a popular eatery.

Two of the 1194 interesting questions answered so far. These cropped up this week:
- Prof can someone become a scientist at an early age of fifteen because I love science and I have a passion for science but I lack resources.
- Greetings Prof, i want to know whether does an elephant concieve or lay eggs and if it concieves,where does its breast lie and how does it breast feed the calf with such a big nose. And i want to know if it lay eggs, how big is their eggs and how does it keep its eggs warmer with such big body? Please answer me Prof Ron.
Others include:
Some interesting questions from the past two weeks. There was a brief interruption due to SciFest activities in Grahamstown. This resulted in an interesting statement:
No plz try atleast to find sm1 who wil b in place of PROF RON ths is too much nt jst few days plz guys

Horizon's SUNBOX solution launched in West Africa today (by Horizon West Africa)
Just got this from our friends at Horizon West Africa (Mali):
The article is in French - this is the fast "google translate" to english - here it is, so enjoy....Horizon is building roots in all developing, and off-grid communities around the world, since many of its existing and future products are a benefit over existing alternatives in these markets. Good job guys - this is the start towards bigger and bigger solutions!
Destination Zero Carbon makes an impact at SciFest 2012.
Thanks to DZC Singapore three Hydrogen Fuel Cell 1:10 scale cars made an appearance at SciFest with intense interest being shown from learners, educators, parents and the general public. Seeing is believing where observers were silenced by the sight of electrolysis of water being used to generate hydrogen for fuel cells to power the cars. The challenge is to reach 1 000 000 learners in South Africa in a 10 year period allowing learners from a wide variety of schools to experience career changing opportunities through the use of green technologies. The project is more about the development of human capital rather than simply racing these attention grabbing cars. Watch this space.
Destination Zero Carbon takes root in Gulf States & Emirates
Our Singapore partners 3D Classworks, developers of the Destination Zero Carbon program, a global science/engineering/math education initiative, have made it just in time to present Destination Zero Carbon at the recent GESS show in Dubai. The program as you know uses our hydrogen solutions and minipak-grade fuel cells. I even saw the Horizon HYDROFILL on the table....first time in Dubai...


text: Russians say no to another Iranian satellite Politics 26 June 09 by Sharon Weinberger Tweet Presidency of the Islamic Republic of Iran Paris: A senior Russian official said that despite interest from the Iranian government, his country has no current plans to help Tehran launch another satellite.While Iran's Government has been trying to flex its military muscle by announcing an aerial exercise in the midst of adomestic crackdown, Russia apparently isn't playing along, at least on Iran's space ambitions. Anatoly Perminov, head of the Russian Federal Space Agency, said Russia isn't anywhere near an agreement to help Iran launch a new satellite.Perminov even seemed to mock Tehran's amateurish planning."I've had a number of meetings with various Iranian ambassadors — I'm saying ambassadors because they change very, very frequently," Perminov told reporters at a press briefing at the Paris Air Show last week. "They were asking me different questions, and they were making proposals. I didn't understand what they meant, and speaking honestly, I didn't find any reasonable feasible aspects in their questions."In 2005, Russian launched an Iranian spy satellite, Sina-1, into orbit, allowing Iran to join the over 40 other countries that operate satellites. In 2009, Iran conducted its own launch, placing a second satellite into low Earth orbit. Though the second, smaller satellite was regarded as largely symbolic, the launch was significant in demonstrating Iran's improving ballistic missile capabilities.While Iran is eager to demonstrate its indigenous launch capabilities, it has been in talks with Russia for help on launching another satellite. And Perminov, for his part, insisted the meetings were all at Iran's request. But, he added, "no work is being done on a second Iranian satellite."

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The European Union said it would not recognise the result of a referendum on self-rule held by pro-Moscow rebels in east Ukraine on Sunday, calling it illegal.
"The so-called referenda in ... parts of Luhansk and Donetsk regions were illegal and we do not recognise the outcome. Those who organised the referenda have no democratic legitimacy," Maja Kocijancic, a spokeswoman for EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton, said in e-mailed comments to Reuters.
She said holding the referendum ran counter to the objectives of an agreement reached by Ukraine, Russia, the EU and the United States last month aimed at defusing the Ukraine crisis.

Really nice wall border. Very wide, covers a good amount of space.
I bought it because it matched my kitchen and dining room decor perfectly. When it arrived, I was thoroughly pleased with the quality of the product and how the online picture just didn't do it any justice. Once it was put on up on the walls, everything was perfect.
I really like it, but didn't realized it was so wide
I just love your border, it goes perfect for the kitchen we are creating. thank you so much.
perfect. just the finishing touch my kitchen needed.

You can't help but speak back. He's quick to introduce you to everyone else in a room, he's quick to tell you who everyone is."
John Scott loves Harry Potter and riding horses. As the 2002 youth representative, he'll attend various Easter Seal's events.

Kohei Kuryu is a former juvenile delinquent who drops out of junior high and goes on to earn a high school equivalency diploma. After passing the law board exams, Kuryu becomes a prosecutor. Not your typical prosecutor, which is quickly seen through the clothes that he wears, Kuryu possesses quick instincts and a kind of cleverness that only someone raised on the streets could have. Maiko Amamiya is a shrewd public prosecutor who has her eyes set on passing the exam to become a deputy prosecutor and tries her best to be noticed by her boss. Kuryu, on the other hand, after earning a reputation for doing top-notch work, is transferred to Amamiya's division, and finally opens his eyes to the possibility of promotion. Unfortunately, his unprecedented work behavior abruptly brings things to a halt. Although earning a reputation as a bad apple, the influence from Kuryu's strong pursuit of justice slowly begins to change things around him. This drama is filled with it all; love, laughs and lots of emotion.

If you are a real estate investor interested in adding apartments to your investment portfolio, you should check out an apartment foreclosure list. By buying an apartment foreclosure, you will be paying a lot less for the investment property, thus making your business more profitable.
Many companies know about the potential with house foreclosures, but may not know about apartment foreclosure. In apartment foreclosures, a multiple-unit building becomes the property of the bank or mortgage company due to defaulted payment.
If your landlord can't pay the mortgage and your apartment building goes into foreclosure, a federal law ensures that you won't be on the street tomorrow.

Businesses or individuals searching for investment properties have a wide range of options. Many investors search for foreclosed properties including homes and apartments. Apartment foreclosures will typically sell for a reduced rate that is appealing to the investor since it can turn a long term or short term profit.
Much like homes, apartment foreclosures follow a process that beings with pre-foreclosure and ends with bank owned property. Once the bank owns the property the formal foreclosure process must be completely before the apartment is placed back on the market. As an investor you should be aware that every property listed as "foreclosed" is not an indication that the property is ready to be sold. The bank must follow the established guidelines before they can sell the apartment. Business.com is a reliable source of information that will help you make an informed purchase.
Before you purchase any type of investment property you have to possess a general understanding of the foreclosures rules and regulations. Businesses or individuals that wish to build profits off of their investments can only do so if they learn and comprehend all the rules surround foreclosure properties. Build your knowledge base and understand all types of foreclosures before you purchase property.

The 7-pound, 13-ounce baby drifted back to sleep as Megan and Aaron Stetts smiled at their less-than-day-old daughter.
The 20.5-inch-long baby made her debut shortly after 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 1. She is the first baby born at North Ottawa Community Hospital in 2014.
"It's a good way to start the year," Megan said with a smile.
The Spring Lake couple expected to ring in the New Year with their bundle of joy by sitting at home, but their little girl waited 10 days past her Dec. 22 due date to make her appearance.
On Tuesday evening, the Stettses entered the hospital for Megan's labor to be induced. The couple said they knew it could take a few days before their daughter made her debut, but they didn't expect a New Year's Day baby.
When Megan went into labor at about 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aaron made calls to family and friends who filled the hospital's waiting room, anticipating the arrival of their newest family member. Aaron said they wanted the baby's gender to be a surprise, and their family was split on whether they would have a girl or boy.
Once Olivia entered the world, the couple relaxed and watched the Rose Bowl game to cheer for Michigan State over Stanford. The Spartans won, 24-20.
Megan said it's a "fun coincidence" their daughter's middle name is Rose, but she wasn't named for the Rose Bowl. Olivia's middle name is in honor of Megan's grandmother.
The family received a gift basket from the North Ottawa Community Hospital Auxiliary with items from the hospital's gift shop for the baby and new parents.

Roads closed on Sunday as runners take to streets
3:50pm Thursday 8th May 2014 in News By Pete Grant, Reporter
TRAFFIC in Marlow will grind to a halt on Sunday for make way for the return of an annual favourite as runners replace cars on the town's roads.
The Marlow 5 race, now in its 31st year, will see over 1200 competitors take to the streets and battle it out to be crowned this year's champion.
Streets across town, including the High Street, Spittal Street, Marlow Bridge and parts of West Street, will be closed for the duration of the five-mile race which starts at 9.30am.
Closures will be put in place from 9am with organisers expecting to reopen all roads by 11am as the last of the runners completes the course, which starts and ends in Higginson Park.
The annual race, sponsored by Grant and Stone, is organised by Wycombe-based Handy Cross Runners.
Entries on the day will be available up until 9am. at a cost of £15 but runners are advised to get there early to avoid disappointment.
The five-mile favorite is run in conjunction with the longer, more gruelling Wycombe Half Marathon in July.

Talk: Culturomics: Quantitative Analysis of Culture Using Millions of Digitized Books, May 10, 12:30 pm Pound Hall, Room 100, Harvard Law School
By Kurt Fendt on May 10, 2011
From the announcement by Erez Lieberman Aiden and Jean-Baptiste Michel:
We constructed a corpus of digitized texts containing about 4% of all books ever printed. Analysis of this corpus enables us to investigate cultural trends quantitatively. We survey the vast terrain of 'culturomics,' focusing on linguistic and cultural phenomena that were reflected in the English language between 1800 and 2000. We show how this approach can provide insights about fields as diverse as lexicography, the evolution of grammar, collective memory, the adoption of technology, the pursuit of fame, censorship, and historical epidemiology. Culturomics extends the boundaries of rigorous quantitative inquiry to a wide array of new phenomena spanning the social sciences and the humanities.
About the speakers:
Erez Lieberman Aiden is a fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows and Visiting Faculty at Google. His research spans many disciplines and has won numerous awards, including recognition for one of the top 20 "Biotech Breakthroughs that will Change Medicine", by Popular Mechanics; the Lemelson-MIT prize for the best student inventor at MIT; the American Physical Society's Award for the Best Doctoral Dissertation in Biological Physics; and membership in Technology Review's 2009 TR35, recognizing the top 35 innovators under 35. His last three papers – two with JB Michel – have all appeared on the cover of Nature and Science.
Jean-Baptiste Michel is FQEB Fellow at Harvard and Visiting Faculty at Google. With Erez Lieberman Aiden, he founded the Cultural Observatory at Harvard, where their team develops quantitative approaches to the humanities and social sciences. Jean-Baptiste is an Engineer of Ecole Polytechnique, and received an MS in Applied Math and a PhD in Systems Biology from Harvard.
humanities + digital Conversations: "Listening Faster", April 22, 1:00 pm, room E14-633 (new Media Lab)
By Kurt Fendt on April 18, 2011
Please join us for the inaugural event of the new series "humanities + digital conversations", jointly organized by MIT's HyperStudio and metaLAB (at) Harvard.
"Listening Faster – How Digital Humanities is Transforming Music Scholarship" by Prof. Michael Cuthbert (MIT) and Matthias Röder (Harvard)
April 22, 2011, 1:00 – 2:30 pm, room E14-633 (New Media Lab building, MIT, 75 Amherst Street, Cambridge)
Computers have altered so many aspects of musician's lives, from digital performance, to electronic composition, to how we acquire and share new music, but only recently have they had the potential to transform how we study and analyze music. Michael Scott Cuthbert (MIT) and Matthias Röder (Harvard) introduce the new world of Digital Musicology by showing the techniques and tools that allow scholars to "listen faster": to examine and analyze large repertories of pieces in the time that a human musicologist could only look at and hear a single work. Through computational analysis, clustering techniques, visualization tools, and data-mining of musical works, the landscape of our understanding of music is being shaken and new ground created for the wired music scholar.

StudioTalk "Learning Through Play", April 15, 12:00 noon, room E15-335
By Kurt Fendt on April 7, 2011
Please join us for our upcoming StudioTalk by Prof. Eric Klopfer and Scot Osterweil on "Learning Through Play".
Play has no agenda. Children play for their own reasons, and even though their play can exhibit fierce determination, persistence, and a will to mastery, it does so only in the service of goals that children set for themselves. Even as we celebrate the learning that occurs in children's play, and specifically in digital games, we must acknowledge that such learning looks dramatically different from the world of school. Though starkly different on the face of it, we nevertheless believe the ecologies of play and school can be successfully integrated, something we have witnessed through our own experience as educators and game designers. We will examine these issues through concrete examples of existing best practices, and speculative designs currently under development at MIT's Education Arcade, and elsewhere.
Lunch will be served. Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com

Models for the Future Humanities
By Whitney Anne Trettien on February 14, 2011
Walking through MIT to reach HyperStudio's home base, you pass man-sized aluminum tanks of cryogenic nitrogen and share elevators with lab-coated technicians escorting racks of test tubes. It can be a bizarre world for a humanities scholar; yet the scientific labs with which HyperStudio shares a building are increasingly put forward as a model for Digital Humanities work — in fact, for the Humanities, writ large.
It's easy to see why. Labs are collaborative environments where work, writing and credit is distributed. Labs are also "hands on" and experimental: things are poked, prodded and pulled apart; objects are made; hypotheses are tested. And, unlike in the humanities, teaching and research aren't strongly distinguished in labs, since students — even undergraduates — are often solicited to assist with experiments.
But scientific labs aren't the only model for future work in the humanities. During MLA, Kari Kraus pointed to the studio arts, emphasizing the role of process, building and design in evaluating Digital Humanities projects. I'm drawn to this idea not only for the kind of physical workspace it imagines humanists collaborating in, but for what it suggests about how humanities scholars should position themselves in relation to the world — namely, as individuals whose curiosity drives them to produce things that sparks the curiosity of others.
Last year, I began keeping a sketchbook in my office. Mentally, it's the best addition I've ever made to my workspace. Whereas ruled lines demand writing, blank paper is an open field; and in the span of the month, I had already filled two books with everything from bored doodles to project designs mindmapping current research.
The search for models isn't just about the kinds of physical spaces we want to work in, but the identities — artists, creators, designers, playsmiths — we choose for ourselves. Like a personal identity, the search doesn't end: it evolves.
What other spaces inspire you to cross interdisciplinary boundaries? What changes in your methods of work have sparked more collaborative work?

HyperStudio participates in MIT-Haiti Symposium
By Anna van Someren on November 1, 2010
HyperStudio participated in the MIT-Haiti "Best Practices for Reconstruction: Technology-enhanced and Open Education in Haitian Universities" Symposium (October 21-22), which brought Haitian University professors together with MIT faculty, staff and technologists to discuss rebuilding Haiti's educational infrastructure. Based on HyperStudio's experience in developing educational projects for language and culture, Executive Director Kurt Fendt shared a presentation describing an approach which would engage Haitian students in building identity awareness, linguistic, cultural, and global skills. Given the linguistic situation in Haiti – 90% of Haitians are native speakers of Kreyòl for whom French, as the official language in education, is inaccessible – these skills would be developed through two core educational components: documenting heritage by working closely with planned oral history projects in Haiti and strengthening cultural awareness by developing cross-cultural curricula and integrating them in a variety of university courses.

What is a Date? (1)
By yorkc on August 4, 2010
What is a date? A seemingly trivial question, and perhaps Foucault would not appreciate the tongue-in-cheek tribute to his influential essay on authors. However, as digital humanists move to embrace online timeline tools and explore new ways to visualize temporal relationships, it's worth examining whether the fundamental unit of a timeline, the "date," fits our expectations. How do humanists use dates? Are these dates the same as computer dates, whose implementation reflects generations of software engineers filling specific needs in operating system and programming language design? By contrast, what is a humanities date "for"? As part of Hyperstudio's exploration of digital humanities timelines, this series of four blog posts will probe the boundary between humanists' dates and computer dates, with an eye to the practical consequences for timelining.
The author's name, if nothing else, provides a convenient way to order a shelf of books. (Consider this Foucault for digital librarians.) Readers examining an unfamiliar novel by Jane Austen, nevertheless approach it with certain expectations in terms of genre, milieu, quality and so on conditioned by its shelf-mates by Austen. However, one could just as easily order the books by publication date, a scheme that might instead sensitize readers to the grand sweep of prior thought and inculcate a notion of the changing concerns of particular eras: an intellectual timeline, if you will.
Much like reading through a box of ordered letters between a group of close correspondents, classification by date rather than author presents an invitation: to periodize, to speculate about influence and intention, about cause and effect, to draw connections between seemingly disparate events and to situate specifics in context. Beyond all of these, it brings into contrast missing evidence, whose absence is otherwise hidden. In an ordered file of Beethoven's correspondence, a wide silence opens in reply to his impassioned letter to his "Immortal Beloved"—immediately sparking curiosity and date-based inquiries. Did Beethoven destroy her reply, if any? Which female accomplice could he potentially have met in Karlsbad in July 1812?
Or, return to the analogy of a date-ordered library: here the shelves corresponding to materials from the Library of Alexander would doubtless stretch empty miles to mark Caesar's careless torch. Wallace and Darwin's books would jostle each other a mere call year apart. Horrified accounts of Aztec human sacrifice would take up dialog with neighbouring Counter-Reformation tracts and religious self-examination. As these and other cases suggest, viewing the world through the ordering lens of dates incites us to explore not just presences but also significant absences, explore unseen connections, periodize and debate influence and affiliation.
Carlo Ginzburg aptly terms the humanistic process "sleuthing," and points out that its modus operandi bears more resemblance to Sherlock Holmes' technique of close observation, with inferences drawn from many scattered clues, than it does to a scientist's exploration of phenomena through repeated experiments. In the world I suggest above, ordered and examined through the lens of dates, the sleuth comes furnished with tools for several different kinds of temporal inference. Forensic accumulation accounts for some—for example, consider John Snow's famous conclusion that the London cholera outbreak on 1854 was somehow tied to the water pump at Broad Street in Soho. Here the sheer number of cholera cases with dates within a single week suggested an affiliation or causal influence.
However, the accumulation of dates just as easily suggests inadequacies in the evidence. To take another cholera case: wandering through Neapolitan graveyards and noting the curious prevalence of dates around 1910-11 prompted historian Frank Snowden to uncover another cholera epidemic, which Naples' council authorities had systematically covered up, for fear of damaging the city's international trade. Here the accumulation of dates and silences conspired to suggest new avenues of research beyond the official timeline.
The addition of new dates in a series can completely reposition the accepted interpretation of an historical situation, and the motivations and affiliations of the actors involved. When Fidel Castro revealed (decades afterward) that he had in October 1962 requested that the Soviets launch an all-out nuclear strike on the United States—the missiles were already in place—it prompted scholars to re-envision the international dynamic of the era. Kennedy's "finest moment" as a firm, strategic negotiator with the Soviet Union was revealed, as well, as the moment when the US pushed Cuba to trigger armageddon.
Perhaps more important than virtuoso interpretations of individual events, however, viewing knowledge by date develops a sensitivity for periodization: an intuitively-understood affiliation between specific circumstances and their larger context. So the mention of an American conscientious objector in 1970 immediately suggests a set of concerns and a timeline relevant to the Vietnam war, and a wider shift in American attitudes towards nationalism and citizenship. Or, the story of a Sephardic merchant in 1550s Amsterdam immediately identifies a specific milieu, probably involving Jewish persecution in the Spanish or Portuguese Inquisitions. Likewise, someone with a keen knowledge of Detroit would summon up very different pictures of the city in the 1950s golden era of unions, and in today's economic hardship. So the process of seeing through dates may involve engagement with specific incidents; but the end proficiency is often aggregate, a form of cultural literacy involving rough knowledge of periods and milieux more than mastery of detail.
Hence, to the over-general question posed earlier, "what is a humanities date for?" we can scribble at least the beginnings of a list. Dates constitute an invitation to consider problems of influence and affiliation, to ponder the difficult boundary between co-occurrence and cause and effect, to situate specific incidents in context, to develop rough maps of periodization. This does not, of course, advocate for the primacy of timelining over other ways of seeing. Returning to the library metaphor: there is nothing necessary or natural about organizing knowledge, whether books or otherwise, according to either date or author. Pragmatic factors, such as the physical organization of a library as a "user-interface" could just as easily dominate. Hence it should come as no surprise that Harvard Library's first catalog in 1723 classified books according to their size and Latin title. No doubt a similar rationale impels package stores to sort scotches onto the top shelf and trial sizes together elsewhere: this conserves shelf space, is esthetically harmonious, and correlates clientele with stocking patterns.
By contrast, how did the dates used by computers develop, and do they lend themselves to humanities timelining? The remaining posts in this series will consider, in turn, time and mechanical calculation; the genealogy of the computer date; and adapting computing dates to humanities purposes.
Next week: Time and mechanical calculation

Taking a hiatus from writing, Pat? Or just fed up with our Cubs?
Let me know what you think.
I haven't pimped an article in awhile, but the silence is deafening, so here I go again.
I think that the Strasburg negotiations warrant a look at something that MLB should have adopted a long time ago. I'd like to know if you agree.
Should baseball do something to the Cubs?
Don't Forget Us, the Good Men in Sports.
Hey Pat,
I'm trying to put together an NL Central roundtable, could you check your B/R inbox?
Thanks, da
Hey, Pat, hopefully yesterday was just a bump in the road for our Cubbies. They have been playing well since the break, haven't they? I hope they keep it up!
Well, here I go again. I'm now taking on a subject that is not commonly discussed among men in sports, namely gay bashing. Similar to my article on racism, I'm sure this will generate some debate, so feel free to join in the fray.

You hear it all the time
Jesus died for our sins, isn't He great!
Yeh yeh, that's pretty amazing, thank goodness for that
But actually think about it
Just a regular person.... a person who feels physical pain, emotional pain
He let people make fun of Him for claiming to be, basically, magical
No matter how much He proved them wrong, He was still a fraud
Then after all He has done for them, He got nails stuck into Him
Just think about that for a second
He didn't just get cut with nails, they were stabbed through Him
Do you think He wasn't feeling some sort of hatred towards us?
Of course He was
But the point is, He was looking at something greater
He got nails stabbed through himself because He knew we were destined for greater things
He didn't want us to suffer like He had
He wanted us to be able to go and live with His Dad, who we love so dearly for creating this world and everything in it
Even though after all we've done against God, we clearly don't deserve to go and live with Him
We were given a second chance
Now you may just think, He chose to die and got made fun of, big deal
But that isn't it at all
He endured so much more
He went through His entire life being the outcast, being the looney
Everything that came out of His mouth was a lie
Well that's what everyone thought
And even when he physically showed proof, He was still looked down on
And then He goes to save all the people who did this to Him?
What a guy.
Granted, God sent Him down to earth to do this and it wasn't necessarily His idea, Jesus still agreed to do this, despite everything He had been through
He could've easily turned His back on His father and think about it, not sure how many people would agree to such a thing
But He still did it.
So next time you hear of Jesus and how He died for our sins
Don't think it's some old story that doesn't involve us at all
Because it actually does
When Jesus was hanging on a piece of wood with nails in His hands
He was doing it for every person who lived and was to be born
Not just the people who were watching, laughing at Him
He did it for everybody
He did it for you.
Jesus is the most selfless man in history and we should strive to act the way He acted and spoke the way He spoke and He should be our model
And we definitely need to remember everything He did for us :)
I'm not even sure that I can do it justice, but I want so much to be able to describe this most awesome gift that I've been given. Each time I look at it, feel it, think of it, I am overwhelmed with such joy and awe and gratitude that sometimes I feel that I might just burst into tears. Damn these silly hormones, but still…this gift is so precious and such a treasure that there HAS to be a way I can describe it to you and make others understand just how very, very fortunate I am.
At first when it was given to me, I took it for granted and didn't really think it was all that important—I mean—I looked around and saw that everyone seemed to have this same gift that I had been given—just different variations of it. I didn't come to truly appreciate the value of it until my 5th decade and then suddenly, it's value just skyrocketed! I realize now that all along this was the most awesome gift, the most precious treasure I'd ever held in my grasp. I remember a few times when I damn near let it slip out of my possession—thought many times of just throwing this gift away—what good was it anyway? Even though I took it with me everywhere I went and hauled it around with every move I made from state to state, sometimes it felt like it was just too burdensome to carry. Sometimes I even thought it was plain worthless—who needs something that everyone else has anyway?
And then along came this past Christmas/Holiday Season. For the first time in years, I have almost no money to spend on those I truly love and cherish in my life and I was wondering how on earth I could give them something special so that they would all know how very much I love them and care…
And then I remembered my original gift that I've had all these years. It is something so precious and so valuable that why not just share it? I mean, why be selfish with something that can be treasured and loved and held dear by all those who I hold dear? I realize now that I don't even have to wait for the Holiday Season to share it—I can share it with anyone and everyone that cares to be included and especially with those that I love dearly.
This gift? It is my life. My heart. My time. The knowledge and experience that I'm gaining with each new day. I can share this gift by just being ME, by being true to myself, by being the loving, giving, caring soul that I have always been. I do not need fancy, expensive, store bought presents to give out—I can give out pieces of my life, an abundance of love from my heart, and my time to those who are in need, who truly want and desire a precious bit of truth and love.
And best of all? This gift will last into eternity, because with each piece of my heart, my life, my time that I share, a tiny bit stays with those who I reach out to share with and they in turn will share their gifts and before long, this most awesome gift will be seen, felt, held and experienced by all who care to share and become a part of this huge, huge gift that we call LIFE.
Now, how awesome is THAT????
when all along I should have been listening to myself and shutting out
all the hatefulness and cruelty surrounding me.
Had I thrown away my gift I might never have found
the many joys that encompass my life now.
Know that your gift is just as special and worthwhile as mine or anyone else's gift of life is.
YOU are precious.
My world
In the light of the dark
Lies a space a door really
To a whole other world
You would think its easy to enter
You think thing it's simple
Nothing is simple in life
Nothing is as it seems
But you see my world has
It's own set of rules
Rules that are so wrong
Their right but to understand
Them its a problem in itself
Luck to all who think they understand
The time when you think you understand
That is when you are the most
Enter my world at your own risk
If you can that is
Xoxo the mysterious girl you see in the night lieing under the moon
P.s never trust your mind
In my world your mind won't
Know the difference between
Right or wrong , day or night
My life's a secret care to enter
Pop, Pop pop, Pop, Pop, Pop pop, Pop,

I see the skyline of the city at sunset. Smoke from my cigarettes rises, Dancing around us.
We sit in silence,
Watching the sky darken.
I look at you,
Take in every strong line of your face.
I notice in the fading light,
Just how stunning your carmel skin looks intertwined in my milky white hand.
I inhale in the darkness,
Letting it envelope me.
Fireworks start to erupt in the distance. I exhale,
watching as they glow in sympathy. Stardust and sprinkling colors surround.
I smile,
It's so magical with our mountain view. You kissed me tonight,
as I thought you should.
Perhaps it was the whisky,
That made us so bold.
I don't know why it is,
That I couldn't help but kiss you back. Even though I knew,
It wouldn't last longer then fireworks and a cigarette.
Wasn't I quiet enough for you?
Did I keep your secret tucked far enough under the sheets,
Where even now,
You can't admit I have laid.
Because if you did,
You'd have to admit the never leaving,
Because it never left.
Longing always lingers in the silence between.
You've hidden me in the folds of the blanket.
Always searching through memories,
Just for a moment of what once was.
I can't return your calls.
My absence now echos through us both.
The indent of my body growing stale,
Like fading perfume on the pillow.
I know it in the way you once kissed me.
Yet now,
You only whisper my name to the bed sheets.
It's coming undone,
I feel it threatening to give way.
This is just the beginning,
At this point I already know,
All we've built will come crashing down.
It's coming undone,
It hit me quick.
The realization stinging my eyes.
A life without you....
It's chocking me.
It's coming undone,
And all I can do is stand witness.
Just wait,
For you to see it too.
I can see no future beyond this,
If you can,
Please...show me.
It's coming undone,
As destiny must've decided.
Perhaps the moment we declared,
Our love must be fate.
Time proved us liars.
I'm coming undone,
You see this,
Me gasping for breath.
Yet you point the finger at me,
I'm so good at starting over.
I'm so good at watching it all come undone.
My life is
gonna rock
while you thinking
"Damn,I missed her"
you will see
how my life
will be
without you....
Awesome Young
I stumble, catch myself,
But my breath is still short.
Skip around,
go back and discover,
in a way that overused word was intended to be
There are so many miracles,
young poets, whose works
lost in the shuffle of the ordinary,
who don't get read, liked or
loved like they awesomely deserve.
One day,
I will write a poem,
naming names,
before a Congressional Committee,
getting them on the record.
Done it before,^
will do it again,
got take a week off from work
to get 'em all.
even then,
will strike out,
can't capture them all,
they keep a-coming,
from all over the world,
places I never heard of.
It almost makes me believe
world peace is not just a
Saturday Night Live joke.
Poetry Round (find your self within)
If you ever feel uninspired,
insignificant, meaningless,
or small…
just remember this:
are cosmically awesome.
when you step out
into a silky night
of shimmering moonlight
beneath an array
of glittering stars,
a billion glowing orbs
a billion lightyears in the future
are waiting patiently
to look at you.
think about this:
nobody ever
has perceived existence
the exact same way
as you.
nobody ever
has had your same
don't you see it?
only you
have the power
to do what nobody else
ever has.
the gods shout your name
with every breath of wind.
listen to them,
look deep inside yourself,
and realize
that you
