Pointless Predictions
The climate crisis is the latest in a long line of predictions about how bad things are going to be in the future. Let's remember that while scary headlines sell newspapers, journalists have a terrible track record.
Saving Civilization: 2009 vs 2015
Five years ago, we were told that the 2009 Copenhagen climate summit was the last chance to save civilization. As the 2015 Paris summit approaches, the same sort of fear mongering is ramping up. Part 3 of 4
A Historical Perspective on Hysterical Rhetoric
Environmental activists have been declaring that the sky is falling since at least 1948. We aren't the first generation to care – or to be raised on eco scare stories.
Warmth: Another Word for Well-Being
Rather than bringing pine logs to the poor, 21st-century energy policies do the exact opposite. More children now shiver in the cold.
Doubt is Not a Sin
When did "Question Authority" stop being applicable?
Distressed Planet, 1990 – 2013
Back in 1990, the head of the UN said our planet was ailing. Fast forward a quarter of a century, and a Worldwatch Institute press release issued today continues the 'planet in distress' meme.
More on Stephen Emmott, Author of 'Ten Billion'
A new book appears to be a rehash of 40-year-old environmental scaremongering endorsed by that era's men of science.
The Coming Hellhole – Exhibit #7 of the Drama Queen Files
Emergency! Catastrophe! Earth is turning into an unprecedented hellhole – according to an Oxford professor and Microsoft official.
Dumb Energy vs Smart Energy
Supplying electricity to a typical family for 12 hours requires the pedal power of 80 elite cyclists. The same amount of electricity can be purchased from the grid for under $5.
Have We Run Out of Time Yet?
It isn't your imagination. You've been hearing that the world is "running out of time" for years.
The Scare Story of 1881
Back in the 19th century, newspapers declared that something had "gone wrong" with the climate. The public was told that the telegraph system might cause the destruction of the human race.
Earth Day 1970 (The Drama Queen Files, Exhibit #4)
The language being used in 1970, the year Earth Day was born, hasn't changed much: Crisis. Catastrophe. Endangered. Extinction.
Speaking of the Children
Half of children perish in pre-industrial societies. Take your pick: a bucolic, green fantasy world – or one that's safe for kids.
It's Always Something (the 1924 edition)
Drama queen scientists have been around for at least 89 years.
Recent Decades: An Amazing Global Success Story
Far fewer human beings perish before their fifth birthday than ever before. More of us live longer. This is worth celebrating.
Deja Vu All Over again…1991's 'World on Fire'
Before there was Al Gore, there was George Mitchell. Politicians have been casting themselves as environmental crusaders, saving the planet, for two decades.
How Science (Really) Works
A new report argues that alternative perspectives are vital to the scientific process. Expecting dispassion from individual researchers is probably a lost cause.
Energy Rocks Our World
Affordable, reliable energy – a big reason most children now make it to adulthood.
The UN's Environmental 'Holocausts'
Since the 1970s UN officials have tried to frighten us. Repeatedly, their predictions have failed. Repeatedly, their time frames have been preposterously inaccurate.
Mother Mexico & the Jackals
How are green groups different from yesterday's colonial powers? Their global agenda is paramount, their lack of empathy for ordinary people breathtaking.
Eco Narcissists & Their Last Chances
For half a century green activists have insisted that their historical moment – and a particular generation – are the planet's last hope.
Pachauri Pushes Emissions Reduction – Again
The IPCC is supposed to be "policy-neutral, never policy-prescriptive." How can it be OK for its chairman to lobby for one policy in particular?
Pachauri: It's Too Late to Fight Climate Change
Back in 2007 IPCC chairman Pachauri made a prediction regarding the year 2012.
The World's Slowest Learners
UN bureaucrats say climate change is a planetary emergency and that time is running out. So when US senators unanimously rejected the Kyoto Protocol where was Plan B?
Over-the-Top Climate Rhetoric
Emotional, over-the-top language doesn't come from real leaders in a time of real crisis. Rather, it's a sign that someone's trying to stampede public opinion.
UN Climate Warnings Are So 1989
22 years ago the UN said we had only 10 years to take global warming action. Otherwise, entire nations would drown due to rising sea levels by the year 2000.
Al Gore's Money-Grubbing
Al Gore says climate change is a planetary emergency. But he'll only tell a campus audience about it if the cheque is big enough.
The Y2K Scare, the Media & Climate Change
Media coverage of climate change has a great deal in common with how the press covered the Y2K scare. There's little evidence that news outlets learned much from that embarrassing episode.
Two Population Predictions
40 years ago scientists said radical change was necessary if humanity was to survive. Along the way they endorsed a population prediction that now seems foolish.
David Suzuki is a Drama Queen
While the rest of us approach challenges with determination, optimism, and faith in ourselves as problem solvers, drama queens see only worst-case scenarios. They exaggerate. They emotionalize.
The Case of Michael Oppenheimer
Perhaps the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change doesn't regard activist scientists as damaged goods because neither the National Academy of Sciences nor the American Association for the Advancement of Science does, either.
Three Cheers for New Tech
When people in affluent counties embrace new technologies we're helping to make the entire world a better place. Really.
When the Lights Go Out
Having just spent 17 hours without electricity, I'm feeling especially keen on a stable energy supply.
The State of the IPCC's Leadership
Rajendra Pachauri, as chairman of what is supposed to be a respectable science body, has – with deliberation and forethought – publicly linked that body to left-wing political analysis and activism.
Pachauri's Pal – the Worldwatch Institute
Before the IPCC was even founded, the Worldwatch Institute had already declared that global warming was caused by fossil fuels. Surely that makes the IPCC chairman's decision to fraternize with this activist organization a bit awkward.
Why is Humanity Always the Fall Guy?
Museums acknowledge that, historically, Mother Nature killed off fish and caused glaciers to retreat. So why do these same institutions imply that similar events in the here-and-now are solely the fault of humans?
The Horse Manure Problem
In the late 1800s cities were drowning in smelly, dirty, disease-spreading horse manure. The private automobile was a huge step forward, environmentally-speaking.
Earth to Scientists
Half a century ago, a science journalist discovered that anything less than reverential reporting was interpreted by scientists as hostility. It would seem that climate scientists who label critics 'anti-science' come from a long tradition.
Was the Fix In Before the IPCC Existed?
In 1970s and '80s some scientists already believed human CO2 emissions would cause global warming. How do we know the IPCC's 2007 conclusions weren't preordained?
Flying Cars and Sewing Machines
People who look into the future and see only environmental devastation have lost their sense of wonder.
Flooding in Australia
Australia's poets have written about alternating droughts and floods since the early 1900s. Is a preoccupation with alleged global-warming-induced-droughts linked to too little government attention on precautionary flood measures?
New Blog Examines Green History
Haunting the Library, a new blog, digs up news clippings that add important historical context to the climate debate.
Baby, It's Cold Outside
It isn't your imagination. We were advised that global warming would mean milder winters. The record-breaking cold temperatures & unusual snowfalls in recent years are odds with the claim that global warming is happening faster than predicted.
The Climate's Gonna Kill Us (Circa 1974)
News reports from the 1970s said ocean temperatures were dropping, polar ice was growing, and the coldest temperatures in 200 years were being recorded at the Arctic Circle. We were told be worried. Very worried.
Forty Years of Drama Queen Scientists
No matter what the concern, drama queen scientists have been pushing the same solution for decades: less consumption, less travel & less freedom. For them, every problem is a crisis that requires radical social change.
If the Science is So Persuasive, Why the Theatrics?
If climate change science is so convincing, why did Timothy Wirth schedule James Hansen's historic 1988 testimony during the hottest time of the year? And why did he sneak into the hearing room the night before & open the windows so there'd be no air conditioning?
World War II Rationing – the 'Hated Sacrifice'
Some people argue that energy rationing of the sort imposed during wartime is necessary to save the planet. But World War II rationing made life miserable for ordinary people. It also nourished the black market & organized crime.
The Royal Society's Big Oil Award
The UK's Royal Society awarded an Esso Energy medal annually for 25 years. A short time later, when opinions on climate change diverged, the society began painting Esso's parent company, ExxonMobil, as demon spawn.
Are Humans Parasites?
Hostage-taker James Lee's views about the planet being better off without humans are chillingly similar to those expressed by The Ecologist magazine in its debut editorial.

From butter churns to diesel tractors, the Museum's agricultural artifacts trace the story of Americans who work the land. Agricultural tools and machinery in the collections range from a John Deere plow of the 1830s to 20th-century cultivators and harvesters. The Museum's holdings also include overalls, aprons, and sunbonnets; farm photographs; milk cans and food jars; handmade horse collars; and some 200 oral histories of farm men and women in the South. Prints in the collections show hundreds of scenes of rural life. The politics of agriculture are part of the story, too, told in materials related to farm workers' unions and a group of artifacts donated by the family of the labor leader Cesar Chavez.
"Agriculture - Overview" showing 2 items.
Barbed Wire
- Description
- In the days of open range, cattle grazed freely over unfenced fields. Fencing especially disturbed western cattlemen who depended upon the open range, including private holdings, for grazing. Farmers fenced animals out of their crops, but as farm size increased and agriculture spread across the west, farmers needed a cheap substitute for scarce wood and stone. In 1874 Illinois farmers Joseph Farwell Glidden, Jacob Haish, and Isaac Ellwood almost simultaneously developed methods of attaching barbs to wire, a type of fencing that effectively kept cattle out of cropland. Despite patent fights and fierce competition, the barbed wire industry was launched and over time reconfigured rural geography. Both film and fiction depicted the often violent disagreement over fencing.

Cows by a Stream
- Description
- This print, On the Neshimaney, which shows cows on a still, warm afternoon standing by a creek, is typical of the views of rural Pennsylvania that were the specialty of Peter Moran. He took pains to make the landscape details appear natural. French artists who depicted the rural landscape, such as Constant Tryon (1810–1865) and Charles Jacque (1813–1894), were important to Moran's artistic development.
- Somewhat confusingly, Peter Moran exhibited three etchings with the title On the Neshaminey in his one-man show in 1887 and 1888 at Frederick Keppel's New York gallery. This print is the largest and last of the Neshaminey series. Philadelphia book dealer Robert M. Lindsay commissioned the print from Moran and published it in an edition of 100 in late October 1886.
- This print is signed in the image and in pencil at lower left below the image, "P Moran." It also has a remarque (small design) of a cow's head at left in the lower margin. Remarques are of special interest to collectors as they are used on prepublication prints and then removed from the plate before the edition is printed.
- The Neshaminey Creek in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, runs north of Philadelphia through what are today mostly suburban areas, although some farmland does remain. The area shown in the print is probably near either New Britain or Edison. Peter Moran and his family spent some summers in the area.

Judge Sharon Keller, a controversial figure since her last test with voters in 2006, was re-elected Tuesday and will remain the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals' presiding judge.
Keller, a Republican nicknamed "Killer Keller" by death-penalty opponents, defeated Austin defense attorney Keith Hampton, a Democrat, as the GOP retained a hold on the state's highest court for criminal cases. Libertarian Lance Stott finished far behind.
Republicans won the other two races for the criminal appeals court Tuesday. Judge Barbara Parker Hervey defeated Libertarian Mark W. Bennett, and Judge Elsa Alcala beat Libertarian William Bryan Strange III.
Keller gained national attention in 2007 for refusing to keep the court open past 5 p.m. to accept a last-minute appeal of a death-row inmate, who was executed hours later. Charges were filed by the Texas Commission on Judicial Conduct, but it ruled she did not violate any laws or warrant punishment "beyond the public humiliation she has surely suffered."
In 2010, Keller received the largest fine ever levied by the Texas Ethics Commission - $100,000 - for failing to report $2.4 million in personal assets.
Republicans keep seats on oil, gas panel
Republicans also won the two races for the state Railroad Commission, which regulates oil and gas.
In the open Place 1 seat, oil and gas attorney Christi Craddick defeated petroleum engineer Dale Henry, a Democrat.
In the race to fill the unexpired term in Place 2, Commissioner Barry Smitherman defeated Libertarian Jaime O. Perez and Green Party candidate Josh Wendel.
GOP jurists appear headed for sweep
Republicans also swept the open seats on the state Supreme Court. In the only race pitting a Republican against a Democrat, Justice Nathan Hecht defeated San Antonio lawyer Michele Petty, continuing his distinction as the court's longest-serving member.
Libertarian Mark Ash and Green Party candidate Jim Chisholm finished far behind.
In the other two Supreme Court races, Justice Don Willett defeated Libertarian Roberto Koelsch and Justice John Devine won re-election over Libertarian Tom Oxford and Green Party candidate Charles E. Waterbury.

YOUR VIEW: Ask us first.
THE recent reports about the new posts of President for the United States of Europe, and also a Leader of the Council, should give all of us cause for concern. Once again, we see the former French President, G. De'Estaing, blatantly dragging us into a bureaucratic nightmare that will become a money pit.
Why cause for concern? Because no-one has asked us!
No one asked us about a wider Europe! No one asked us if we would give up our rebate! And I do not believe Tony is going to ask us if we want the euro this year - as he promised.

About the Speedo brand
Speedo produce a fantastic range of swimwear and swimming accesories including swimsuits, swimming goggles, kickboards, swimming fins and pullbouys plus much more. Founded in Australia by Alexander MacRae, a 22-year-old Scottish immigrant who arrived in the country in 1910. The 'SPEEDO' company began when MacRae Hosiery manufacturers, established by Alexander in 1914, extended the manufacture of underwear to swimwear and became MacRae Knitting Mills. This acceptance of swimwear and the introduction of the 'Racerback' costume meant it was time for a new company name. A staff competition was held and won by a Captain Parsonson who coined the slogan 'Speed on in your Speedos'. The SPEEDO name was born in 1928.

Rust is a new programming language for developing reliable and efficient systems. It's designed to support concurrency and parallelism in building platforms that take full advantage of modern hardware. Its static type system is safe and expressive and it provides strong guarantees about isolation, concurrency execution and memory safety.
Rust combines powerful and flexible modern programming constructs with a clear performance model to make program efficiency predictable and manageable. One important way it achieves this is by allowing fine-grained control over memory allocation through contiguous records and stack allocation. This control is balanced with the absolute requirement of safety: Rust's type system and runtime guarantee the absence of data races, buffer overflow, stack overflow or access to uninitialized or deallocated memory.
Servo is an experimental project to build a Web browser engine for a new generation of hardware: mobile devices, multi-core processors and high-performance GPUs. With Servo, we are rethinking the browser at every level of the technology stack — from input parsing to page layout to graphics rendering — to optimize for power efficiency and maximum parallelism.
Servo builds on top of Rust to provide a secure and reliable foundation. Memory safety at the core of the platform ensures a high degree of assurance in the browser's trusted computing base. Rust's lightweight task mechanism also promises to allow fine-grained isolation between browser components, such as tabs and extensions, without the need for expensive runtime protection schemes, like operating system process isolation.
Following on the success of pdf.js, a high-fidelity PDF renderer written in pure HTML and JavaScript, the Shumway project aims to implement an emulator for the Flash multimedia platform. Shumway combines rendering techniques pioneered by the open source Gordon emulator with a just-in-time (JIT) compiler for the Actionscript Virtual Machine that generates optimized JavaScript.
Shumway's primary goals are to demonstrate the power and expressiveness of the HTML5 platform and to discover and remedy gaps in the Web platform.
Emscripten is an open source optimizing compiler for LLVM applications that generates pure JavaScript to run directly on the Web. Emscripten makes it possible to take C and C++ programs and convert them automatically to Open Web applications with no plugins or extensions.
Emscripten demonstrates that the Web is capable of supporting the responsive, real-time user experiences of interactive desktop software, including games, simulations and even live video decoding. Many applications run within an order of magnitude of their native binary performance. At the same time, Emscripten serves to diagnose and address performance bottlenecks in the Web platform to keep pushing the boundaries of tomorrow's Web.
Daala is a next-next-generation video codec. The aim is not only to create a better video codec, but to create one that is a royalty-free open standard that can serve as the backbone technology for video on the internet. Daala's performance on still images is already on par with H.264, and is rapidly gaining on H.265.
Unlike other video and image codecs which divide images into discrete blocks, Daala uses overlapping blocks to eliminate blocking artifacts and does prediction and other operations on frequency values instead of pixels. Instead of simple scalar quantization, Daala uses an energy preserving quantizer inspired by similar techniques in the Opus audio codec.
sweet.js is an extension and precompiler to JavaScript providing hygienic macros — that is, user-extensible syntax — similar to those of the Scheme or Rust programming languages. User-extensible syntax empowers programmers to provide their own extensions to JavaScript, without requiring new standardization and changes to built-in JavaScript engines. Macros also make it possible for programmers to mix and match extensions from multiple libraries, without having to use multiple precompilers.
LLJS is an extension and precompiler to JavaScript for writing low-level, high-performance code with tight control over memory layout and computation style. The compiler generates code similar to Emscripten, but provides a bridge for writing and integrating low-level, performance-intensive code with high-level, idiomatic JavaScript.
Broadway is a pure JavaScript and HTML decoder of the H.264 video compression format. Broadway uses high-performance JavaScript and <canvas> rendering techniques to get smooth, real-time playback of high quality videos. The goal of this project is to push the limits of the Web's computation and graphics performance.
Parallel JavaScript
Parallel JavaScript is an ongoing initiative to unlock the full potential of modern hardware and expose this power to JavaScript programmers in safe and usable ways. The first major project is a joint effort with Intel Research to implement the proposed ECMAScript data parallelism API, which provides an array data structure with high-level data manipulation operations that can often be compiled to execute on multicore, vector and even GPU computation units.
The asm.js project is an attempt to formally specify the subset of the JavaScript language that is generated by compilers like Emscripten and LLJS. By precisely formalizing and defining the language, optimizing JavaScript engines like Mozilla's SpiderMonkey can recognize code generated by these compilers and provide additional optimization. Our goal is to demonstrate that JavaScript engines can provide near-native performance on code generated by tools like Emscripten.

Province Supports Arctic Research With $6 Million In Funding: Rondeau
September 14, 2009
Churchill Northern Studies Centre
To help position Manitoba as an international leader in arctic research and education, the province will invest $6 million in the Churchill Northern Studies Centre (CNSC) over the next four years, Science, Technology, Energy and Mines Minister Jim Rondeau announced today."Arctic research and education is an important piece of the puzzle in creating a healthy and sustainable north," said Rondeau. "We are proud to support the CNSC in its efforts to be recognized as Canada's centre for arctic research and education."
"The funding provided by the provincial government helps CNSC promote and facilitate northern research," said Michael Goodyear, executive director, CNSC. "This research is absolutely critical to our understanding of the north's unique physical environment, social issues and continued economic development."
The minister noted funding announced today will support CNSC's plans to complete renovations to existing structures and the construction of new laboratory and classroom facilities. The new facility will be Manitoba's most northerly green building and will comply with or exceed all provincial legislation regarding Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification requirements and design standards.
CNSC provides a variety of research opportunities in partnership with universities across North America as well as a full schedule of credit and non-credit courses in scientific and ecological studies.
The non-profit centre supports research and education throughout the western Hudson Bay region by providing logistical support, courses and field research facilities to several hundred people each year.
"The Northern Studies Centre has a significant impact on the town of Churchill and the northern Manitoba economy," said Rondeau. "Its location at the southern edge of the Arctic tundra makes it ideal for numerous short- and long-term research projects ranging from climate change to polar bear ecology."

Storm expected on Wednesday to bring rains in western part of PH
MANILA, Philippines—The weather bureau said that a tropical cyclone (international name: Soulik) that is expected to enter the Philippine area of responsibility (PAR) by Wednesday may not directly affect the country but is anticipated to enhance the habagat (southwest monsoon) by Thursday and bring rains to the western part of the country.
As of 4 p.m. on Monday, weather forecaster Ricky Fabregas of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said Soulik was 2,010 kilometers east of Basco, Batanes, with its center located north of the Marianas Islands. Soulik's winds were at 85 kilometers per hour with gustiness of 100 kph.
Fabregas said that should the storm continue moving westward at 20 kph, it would enter the PAR on Wednesday morning.
Meanwhile, Pagasa said in its 5 p.m. forecast that it expected the intertropical convergence zone (ITCZ) over Palawan and Mindanao to bring light to moderate rain showers and thunderstorms to Palawan, Western Visayas, the Zamboanga peninsula and northern Mindanao.
Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have partly cloudy to cloudy skies with isolated rain showers or thunderstorms.—Jeannette I. Andrade

Your travel guide to Venice
Queen of the Adriatic, home to st. marks place and the annual Venice Film Festival, this famous city on water is a maze of canals, Venetian restaurants and gondola rides waiting to be discovered. Whether you're landing at Venice International Airport or coming in from Treviso Airport to Venice, a ride on a vaporetto - Venice's modern-day solution to living on the water is inevitable. Speeding across the cool blue waves to your hotel in Venice proper fills you with a sense of leaving the world behind and entering the enchanting city of Al Pacino's Merchant of Venice and Marco Polo's Million.
Cited as one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Venezia holds a special charm as its population seems not to care about the fact that it's sinking, nor that having canals instead of roads is inconceivably impractical for the rest of us. Nevertheless, Venice's history of water has transformed it into Europe's largest urban car-free area which manages to hold a multitude of museums, palazzi, bridges and churches.
Among the world's most famous bridges, Venice's Rialto and the Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri) come high on the list and are best seen on a gondola. As you float up the Grand Canal, you'll know just why you chose to visit Venice and are sure to promise to come back before it disappears completely! Nothing beats a Grand Canal hotel but if you're looking for something a little cheaper, have no fear.
No trip to Venice is complete without visiting San Marco square and the basilica, filled strangely enough with hundreds of pigeons. Hop on a Venice vaporetto to Murano Island for the wonderful glass factories for which it has become world famous, but remember if you break, you pay!
Once you've found your flights to VCE and are ready to book your Venice accommodation, browse Venere.com's list of Venice hotels, b&bs, self-catering apartments, town house suites and serviced apartments, where you're sure to find great deals, cheap prices and more often than not, exactly what you're looking for.

analysis and plans responses to predictable events. To address the rising demand for better drug safety surveillance, the ABIM is developing a patient safety module that will address drug safety in physician certification and recertification. This project will be completed in late 2006 or early 2007. "Maintenance of certification is a hook through which other quality improvement exercises can be linked or to which they can be attached," said Dr. Sennett.
Assuming that the current level of funding continues, the FDA planned to launch a complete inventory of prescription drugs in the winter of 2006 and an inventory of all marketed drugs by 2008 on the Internet site Facts@FDA/DailyMed. E-prescribing code sets are also planned to be complete and up-to-date by 2008. Further incorporation of drug safety in certification is an important approach to improving education in this area. These new approaches should give the public and health-care providers significantly improved information. Dr. Drazen concluded that in order to improve the system, clear, accurate, and immediately accessible prescribing information should be made available and should be accompanied by expanded data standards, improved passive surveillance, and robust postmarket active surveillance efforts.

By Alan Scherstuhl
April 22
A sociopolitically pointed detective story begins in a mothers will, as two grown Canadian twins of Middle Eastern descent discover a brother they never hadand that their long-thought-deceased father is very much alive. Denis Villeneuves powerful adaptation of Lebanese-born Wajdi Mouawads play (recently nominated for the Best Foreign-Language Film Oscar) unfolds in parallel time periods, tracking both the childrens mission to reconcile familial truths in their ancestral land and a trauma of yesteryear that was understandably kept secret. Sony Pictures Classics, in limited release, sonyclassics.com
13 Assassins
April 29
Anyone familiar with the hyper-prolific output of Japanese cult auteur Takashi Miike (from Audition to Zebraman) might be most shocked by his latest, not for trying to out-gonzo his notorious piano-wire amputations and women giving birth to grown men, but for being his most mature, classical film. A band of unemployed samurai vow to save the masses from a ruthless lord during the Feudal era, an impressively staged actioner with top-notch performances and, OK, some satire and sneaky subversions of the road Kurosawa paved. Magnolia, in limited release, 13assassins.com
Rudy Wurlitzer
April 29May 5
Better known as an experimental novelist, Wurlitzer has also penned tonally cryptic, wonderfully oddball screenplays for talented filmmakers like Monte Hellman (the seminal road trip Two-Lane Blacktop), Alex Cox (the anachronistic coup satire Walker), Sam Peckinpah (the revisionist Western Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid), and Jim McBride (the post-apocalyptic teen romance Glen and Randa). Wurlitzer himself will appear in person for Anthologys Drop Edges of Yonder series, alongside iconoclast guests Will Oldham and Robert Downey Sr. Anthology Film Archives, 32 Second Avenue, anthologyfilmarchives.org

Who is this Relentless Renegade, as the title of the Film Societys retrospective dubs the now-octogenarian producer and director? Beyond a through line of social and political commentary, how does one define the essential career of a man who left television to make light comedies (40 Pounds of Trouble, The Thrill of It All), Steve McQueen vehicles (The Cincinnati Kid, The Thomas Crown Affair), adapted musicals (Fiddler on the Roof, Jesus Christ Superstar), and an increasingly diverse crop of cinematic staples (Rollerball, Moonstruck)?

The Tree of Life
May 27
Beyond a trailer filled with masterfully impressionistic images of landscapes, shadows, and stars Brad Pitt and Sean Penn (respectively playing a father in the 1950s Midwest and his grown son in the present day), very little has been divulged about the latest from reclusive auteur Terrence Malick (Badlands, Days of Heaven, The New World). Among die-hard cinephiles, its arguably the seasons most anticipated event, a sure-to-be-debated tale of a lost soul in the modern world that reportedly features visual effects of a prehistoric Earth.

A failure to appear inclusive is among the reasons the GOP fell out of favor with some voters in 2012, according to a report from the Republican National Committee that reviews the party's performance last year and seeks to identify ways to broaden its appeal. "Already, there is a generational difference within the conservative movement about issues involving the treatment and the rights of gays -- and for many younger voters, these issues are a gateway into whether the Party is a place they want to be," the report said, concluding that Republicans should campaign among gay Americans, "and demonstrate we care about them too." In announcing the report's findings, RNC Chairman Reince Priebus did not directly address policy changes that might attract more LGBT support. "I think it's about being decent. I think it's about dignity and respect," he said.

Questions & Answers
Signature Design by Ashley Elsa Twin Loft Bed with Optional Trundle Bed and Storage
Very sturdy
Steffanie from Wheatland, WY– Verified Buyer
I would highly recommend this product. We just recently moved and my 3 year old needed a new bed. He loves it. He jumps and climbs and climbs. It is very kid friendly and sturdy. I wish it would of been made more known how to add the trundle. The option wasn't visible and stated as bed frame, but the reward team understood my frustration and offered me a discount. Good service :)

Just a perfect bed in our son's room. Easy to assemble. Solid structure. Great drawers.
Very dissatisfied!
Lisa from Columbus, MS– Verified Buyer
Quality did not reflect the price. Packaged poorly. My inspection before signing delivery ticket was rushed by truck driver. During assembly, found corners were chipped and missing hardware. Will NOT purchase from again.
Ashley bed
Mindy from Grosse Pointe, MI– Verified Buyer
Here were no pre-drilled holes in the bed for the slats. There should be a locking mechanism on the trundle wheels. The bed rolls at the slightest touch on our hardwood floors. My son actually fell off the bed the first night because it rolled out from under him. Not happy with this bed!
great bookcase
ginny from new jersey– Verified Buyer
I bought this for my grandson, it is nice and heavy so that he can not tip it over. The only thing I wish it had was a few baskets to pick from. As I chose this particular one so that we could put toys in some bins and books in others. The baskets would have come in handy for the toys. although it was easy enough to go buy a few.

The original wheels had stud/axles, which clipped into the rear of each upright. They kept coming loose and the wheels would lay down and not roll correctly. The new stud/axles are designed much better and snap into place easily. The lower rack now rolls effortlessly. It took more time to get the wheels and stud/axles out of the packaging than it did to install them. A very pleased customer. Tom P.

One Dead In Area Camping Accident
By AP
CHELSEA, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma Highway Patrol says one person was killed when run over by a vehicle at a camp site near Chelsea. The patrol says the victim was struck when the driver of the sport utility vehicle was backing out of the site at Spencer Creek Cove in northeastern Rogers County. A report on the incident says the victim's name is being withheld because of his age.

Total BS.
Benchmarks are only good if they can blindly compare performance of different hardware to see how they perform against each other in an GENERAL ENVIORMENT AND TESTING
If they start adding in specific code paths, then they will be worthless.
The fact is, MOST games DO NOT have optimized code paths for all different hardware, they usually don't even have optimized code paths for the two most common hardware (Radeon and GeForce).
If games have ANY optimized code paths at all, they usually only have two different code paths: A general API code path (for all general hardware), and 1 single optimized GPU code path (which is usually at least 90% an optimized code path for Nvidia hardware).
Optimized code paths are good and bad. It's good because it can put the focus of a game to a specific hardware, making it run better/look faster. But it's MAJORLY bad because there will NEVER be code paths for all hardware, and even then, they will not be as mature as some other code paths (*cough* Nvidia code paths *cough*).
If 3DMark starts to use optimized code paths, that will make it WORTHLESS as a subjective messure of performance.
Nvidia crying because their GPU is pants at general, unoptimized DX9 performance doesn't help them, and just because they may get their way and eventually get a 3DMark with an optimized code path doesn't mean ****.
Again, MOST games DO NOT, and WILL NOT have seperate optimized code paths for specific hardware.

Good Fit, Comfy
I'm 6"2' about 180lbs and I like the length of both the body section and sleeves. Its not a super long baggy sweatshirt but exactly what I was looking for as far as a sweatshirt that's nice and long but not 2x too wide for me. DryRide is comfortable and warm.
The green is a lighter color than what is shown in the picture.

So 2-0 to Swansea at the Emirates. No complaints whatsoever about the score; they deserved it. They were in 1-on-1 three times before scoring (twice brilliantly saved by Szczesny, and once by a desperate lunge from Vermaelen), and looked the more dangerous team in attacking areas. We had more possession in the second half, but as ever with no cutting edge and no firepower. Why Wenger persists with starting the 3rd rate Gervinho up top alone is completely beyond me.
Arsenal now down to 10th after 15 games, having failed to beat Sunderland (H), Stoke, Norwich (H), Fulham (H), Villa, Everton and Swansea (H). We're in real, real trouble. I think it would be fair to say the only two victories this season that were comprehensive, deserved and not due to exceptional circumstances were those in early September against Liverpool and Southampton. The only bright spot is that 3rd place is only 5 points away, solely thanks to the lack of dominant teams at the top this year.
As I've said before, I will back Wenger for the rest of the season, but it has reached the point where no-one can deny that there's a valid argument for him going. He's purported to have £40m+ to spend in January (I assume this figure includes transfer fees and wages), so the possibility of bringing in a couple of £12m players (i.e usual price bracket, a la Giroud, Podolski, Gervinho), but I just don't know if we can bring in the real top quality that we need to make us competitive again for that money in the inflated January window. We have a good spine to the squad, but with constantly selling our world class players, and being unable to afford real top quality talent, we are marginally less competitive every single season.
At the moment Arsenal is an empire in managed decline.

MAD's Cause-of-Death Betting Odds: Alex Rodriguez
Un-asked Audience Questions From Last Night's Presidential Debate
Last night's Presidential debate was done in a "Town Hall" format, with pre-submitted questions from audience members. Sadly, with all the misinformation, double-talk and accusations, there just wasn't enough time for every presidential query! MAD, however, has always felt that everyone deserves to have their voice heard (although we wouldn't mind if The Black Eyed Peas fell silent forever…) which is why we now present:

Interesting Facts About Felix Baumgartner's Space Jump
On Sunday, Felix Baumgartner broke both the sound barrier AND the record for the highest freefall. What would make a man hurl himself from a balloon-lifted capsule, dozens of miles above earth? Science! Baumgartner's drop will help professionals develop new parachute systems, provide info to aid in emergency spacecraft evacuation, and — most importantly — offer valuable data about high-velocity impacts on dirt fields by Austrian feet. But that's just the beginning of what we can learn from this momentous man-hurling!

No win for Cashner, but Pads prevail in extras
Yasmani Grandal's walk-off single wins it in the 12th
Twenty-nine games remain in the Padres' season, and this may seem hard to believe: Andrew Cashner just made his eighth start at Petco Park.
Of late, such an event had become exceedingly rare. Not since June 18 had the right-hander towered atop the mound where he looks and feels most at home.
Overall, he may finish the season just shy of 20 starts, limited by ailments of the elbow, shoulder and neck. And yet Friday, he served a forceful reminder.
In the Padres' 3-2, 12-inning triumph over the Dodgers, well before Yasmani Grandal tallied the first walk-off hit of his career, Cashner again towered atop the mound, an upper-90s fastball roaring toward the plate. For more than two months, he was a rare reason to watch a punchless club. In spite of a black hole of an offense, Cashner's starts at Petco Park felt like something out of the ordinary.
His anticipated return delivered, even as he pitched only half of a four-hour slog. Over six innings, Cashner struck out eight. He scattered six hits and walked none.
"For the most part, I thought I was a lot sharper than I was in Arizona," Cashner said, referencing his last start, which was also his first off the disabled list. "I thought my command was good overall, the ball was down in the zone. I thought my breaking ball was the best it's been in a while.
"There were a few pitches I wanted back, but the defense really played well tonight."
The few times the Dodgers managed hard contact, Cashner was fortified by an expansive venue. In the fourth, Justin Turner powered up for a deep drive to left but had to settle for a warning-track double. In the fifth, Dee Gordon hit a ball as hard as he has all year, only to watch Rymer Liriano crash into the wall in right-center, robbing the speedster of extra bases.
Cashner would be denied, too, though in another respect. In the eighth, after he had departed, Hanley Ramirez ripped a 390-foot, game-tying shot to left. Thus, Cashner remained without a win since April 16, stuck on a grand total of two victories amid 14 starts and a 2.37 earned-run average.
The dearth of support notwithstanding, he still set a record. Dating back to June 11 of last season, Cashner has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 15 consecutive starts at home. Friday, he surpassed Randy Jones for a new franchise record.
"I think the stamina and the stuff were good," Padres manager Bud Black said of Cashner. "He's still building his endurance back up. I'm looking forward to a good September from Cash."
During the aforementioned 15-start stretch at Petco Park, Cashner is 4-5 with a 1.44 ERA. The active streak is the second-longest in the majors, behind Miami's Jose Fernandez, who'd gone on a 20-game run before a torn ulnar collateral ligament felled the precocious right-hander.
Coincidentally, Fernandez's last, unfortunate start came at Petco Park against the Padres, who need no reminder of the fragility so ubiquitous among the game's top pitchers.

Ahead of the Lok Sabha and the Andhra Pradesh Assembly elections, municipal elections would be held in the state on March 30.
The outcome of the elections to municipalities and municipal corporations, to be held on the party basis, could be a pointer to the public mood ahead of the general election in the state that is set to be bifurcated, and has seen much turbulence in the recent months.
Andhra Pradesh Election Commissioner P Ramakant Reddy today announced the programme for elections to 10 municipal corporations and 146 municipalities in the state. The nominations can be filed from March 10 to 13 for municipal corporations and March 10 to 14 for municipalities. The scrutiny of nominations would take place on March 15; March 18 is the last date for withdrawal.
The polling would take place on March 30 from 7 AM to 5 AM and counting of votes on April 2. The total number of eligible voters is about one crore. There would be 9,015 polling stations. The model code of conduct comes into force immediately with today's announcement, Reddy said.
The 10 municipal corporations are Ramagundam (SC-Gen), Eluru (BC-woman), Chittoor (BC-woman), Kadapa (BC-Gen), Nellore (BC-Gen), Rajahmundry (Gen-woman), Nizamabad (Gen-woman), Anantapur (Gen-woman), Vijayawada (unreserved) and Karimnagar (unreserved).
The elections to Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation, however, would be held later this year.

'Not with my pork'
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
MANILA, Philippines—Cagayan de Oro Rep. Rufus B. Rodriguez on Friday denied giving P1.969 million of his Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF) to the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC) for the purchase of 55 computers which cannot be accounted for.
"The story on the 762 alleged missing computers at the DOTC is false and malicious," said Rodriguez, who was one of the nine lawmakers tagged by the Commission on Audit (COA) as having allocated their pork barrel to the DOTC program that donates computers to barangays, schools and municipalities.
"I have not given P1.969 million of my PDAF to the DOTC. In 2009, the DOTC offered to give computers to my district (second district of Cagayan de Oro City) from its own funds, which I accepted. After one year of following up with the DOTC, the 55 computers were delivered to my office, the receipt of which I properly acknowledged," he said.

Hey, I'm Shawn!
I am a degreed professional (mechanical engineering as well as nutrition science) with a variety of passions and interests. In addition to a 'corporate' engineering career, I have worked in the natural foods industry (various roles over several years at a food co-op), nutritional counseling, and residential construction and interior design. For the past few years, I have been dedicated to the design/build of Green Gate Guest House- one of two unique lodging properties on my 13 acre homestead.
I have a passion for all areas of construction, design, technology, sustainable living, renewable energy, etc., and enjoy putting ideas into action through the myriad of projects I always have going!
I enjoy nature, outdoors, exercise (running, hiking, cycling, skiing, etc), as well as the culture and arts of the city. I've traveled domestically and internationally, and enjoy a mix of both 'roughing it' and 'pampering'- great experiences often include a bit of both! My travel adventures have been minimal for the past few years due to work commitments, but I look forward to more travel ahead (Nepal may be next!).
Having operated my vacation rental properties for almost two years now, I have been fortunate to host such a variety of wonderful guests. Everyone that has stayed here has been a pleasure to get to know, and I look forward to all our future guests.

Operators selling pre-packaged holidays and tours are to be offered a new technology solution following the entry of Dolphin Dynamics into this market sector with its latest software release.
Dolphin's new pre-packaged holiday search and booking functionality enables operators to 'pre-build' holiday packages comprising flights, accommodation and other ground products - and sell them via their call-centres as well as online to both consumers and agents.
Having already made significant in-roads into the tailor-made tour operator sector with its flexible sales, allocation and contract management platform, this latest software release is designed to now extend the use of Dolphin across the broader tour operator market.
Initially being showcased at Travel Technology Europe in February, Dolphin's pre-packaged search will combine GDS, low cost, and charter flights with ground products loaded in Dolphin's product database. In-built pricing and contract management tools dynamically apply mark-ups, commissions and discounts based on configurable business rules or the package price can be fixed when pre-building the package, in order to maximise yield and revenue.
The pre-packaging functionality supports the inclusion of any number of components within air-based or ground-only itineraries. It can therefore be used to create, manage and sell simple single city break packages or complex multi-centre tours. Whilst alternative dates are presented in a price comparison grid, so that offers across a date range can be easily compared and selected. After which the user can be prompted with alternative in order to tailor the pre-built itinerary as required.
Roberto Da Re, CEO at Dolphin Dynamics commented, '"In the last three years we have made major R&D investments in order to extend the capabilities of our software to satisfy specialist as well as more mainstream tour operators. As a result we can now offer operators of all types an integrated, modern and flexible technology platform to efficiently manage and distribute their entire product offering across multiple channels".

Dolphin Dynamics Ltd. is a software development company that specialises in developing integrated booking and information management solutions for the travel industry.

'Contested terrain'
"[OCT. 11] marked the 50th anniversary of Vatican II's opening," Inquirer columnist Michael Tan noted. Given that the Philippines is a predominantly Catholic country, he wrote, "I'm surprised how little has been said in the media about this … when the Church is going through such ferment."
A country fragmented into 7,012 islands at high tide molds an insular mindset, some assert. Vision halts at the seashore or expands to a country or two. From there, overseas Filipino workers send home padala or remittances. But are we blinded by narrow clans?
"For all the trappings of national government … we conduct our affairs pretty much in the manner of Lapu-Lapu," the late historian Horacio de la Costa wrote. "[The] congressman, who moves around with bodyguards, is not much different from the datu surrounded by retainers." This attitude "casts away national and pubic values," the Jesuit scholar added. "[It] aggravates the need for taking private measures to protect private interests."
A Synod of 262 bishops is now reviewing the "cargo of hope" and letdowns of Vatican II (1962-1965). Among the synod fathers are Luis Tagle of Manila and Jose Palma of Cebu.
Vatican II recast a faith claimed by a billion people worldwide (eight out of 10 Filipinos are Catholics). It broadened the role of laymen, stripped off obsolete trappings, and adopted liturgy into the vernacular. The Church turned away from the internal concerns of Vatican I. Instead, it reached out to other faiths, from Jews to Muslims. But Vatican II hopes shriveled as a Curia of bureaucrats dragged its heels.
"Institutional innovations, like diocesan pastoral councils, were haphazardly implemented and underutilized. The Synod of Bishops was stillborn. National bishops' conferences were subordinated to the curial approval. They never led to regular channels of communication between people and hierarchy," notes America magazine.
Transparency and accountability, whether for financial or sexual improprieties, are norms of a just society. "The Church must cease to claim exemptions for itself … and must not stand outside the scrutiny of its members.
Many Filipinos view all these through the prism of family. Today's Synod of "New Evangelization" overlaps with the Oct. 21 canonization of a 17-year-old Filipino catechist and six others. Like Lorenzo Ruiz of Binondo before him, Pedro Calungsod of the Visayas is "bone of our bone, flesh of our flesh." We'll see a fiesta to eclipse other fiestas.
"Reform the Church?" asked Archbishop Angelo Roncalli. "Is such a thing possible?" This son of Italian sharecroppers was elected as a transition pope. Jolting a sclerotic Church to its founding fervor would have to wait.
As Pope John XXIII, however, Roncalli stunned many by calling out: Apertura a sinistra. "Open the windows" and let fresh air in. Few foresaw the gales of reform that the Council would unleash. When it closed three years later, a transformed institution emerged: one that re-imaged the Church as "People of God, with full participation of all the baptized, yet always in need of reform." Council advisor Fr. Joseph Ratzinger defined it as perennis reformatio. He repeated the theme, as Pope Benedict XVI.
Vatican II reached out to other faiths, from Jews to Muslims, and built bridges to a world hurtling into a digital age. It asserted its "prophetic role," smudged by cozy accommodation with assorted dictators.
"I have the bishops by their balls," Ferdinand Marcos scoffed when Pope John Paul II set a visit for January 1981. Marcos announced the cosmetic lifting of martial law. Imelda decked out the Coconut Palace. But the Pontiff politely declined, and instead lodged at the spartan nunciature in Pasay.
"Even in exceptional conditions … the state cannot claim to serve the common good when human rights are not safeguarded," John Paul told a poker-faced Ferdinand Marcos in his Jan. 17, 1981, speech at Malacañang Palace.
On that same visit, John Paul beatified Lorenzo Ruiz at Luneta. And in Bacolod, he pressed for an end to the exploitation of the sacada. "This is war," fumed a Negros sugar planter.
After February 1986's rigged election, Marcos declared that he had won over Corazon Aquino. "A government that assumes or retains power by fraudulent means has no moral basis," the Catholic Bishops' Conference of the Philippines said in a pastoral letter. It called for "active resistance of evil by peaceful means." People Power sent the dictator into exile.
Worldwide, there has been an exponential growth in educated Catholics. Priest-theologians are a minority. In the years ahead, pastoring will, to a great extent, consist of fostering fuller participation of this educated laity.
Controversies here mirror the Curia's resistance. An eminent canon lawyer, the bishop of Tagbilaran, said over Radio Veritas: Those who support the Reproductive Health bill court excommunication. That'd cast President Aquino into exterior darkness. That goes for University of the Philippines demographer Mercedes Concepcion, one of 42 scientists Pope Paul VI had asked to serve in the Humanae Vitae panel.
The Second Plenary Council here taught that religious freedom to advocate a cause may not be used to deny that same freedom to those who disagree, constitutionalist Fr. Joaquin Bernas recalled. The bishop of Antipolo turned livid.
"The legacy of Vatican II remains in dispute," America magazine says. "Demands of our own age call for corrections of deviations… We move in contested terrain."
