NVIDIA Crates the GeForce GTX 690

Tagged: nvidia, kepler, GTX 690, geforce
There has been a lot of excitement building about the GeForce GTX 690 dual-GPU graphics card, with the apex during CEO Jen-Hsun Huang's keynote that released all kinds of details this weekend. We go our review sample of the new graphics beast this morning and needless to say NVIDIA felt the need to give this $999 video card a special ride.
With the imprint of "Caution: Weapons Grade Gaming Power" on the outside of the crate, NVIDIA obviously wanted to give us a chance to use the pry bar sent last week. And use it we did.
There isn't much more we can say about the card itself but I can tell you that the fit and finish of the design is just impressive to see in person.
I have included quite a few more photos of the unboxing and the card itself if you continue to the full post right here!!
NVIDIA Announces GeForce Experience Cloud Service for Quality Presets
Subject: Graphics Cards | April 29, 2012 - 01:25 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, geforce experience, geforce
After spilling the beans about the new GeForce GTX 690 card at the GeForce LAN in Shanghai, NVIDIA's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang also let loose on the GeForce Experience, a cloud-based service that promises to simplify the configuration of game settings based on your hardware.
The is incredibly simple but equally impressive in its scope: based on your particular hardware configuration including the processor, memory capacity, storage speed and of course the graphics card, the NVIDIA tool will set the optimal in-game settings and resolution. The breadth of being able to cover ALL the available hardware in the enthusiast market and even the mobile field is enormous but NVIDIA is confident that they have the personnel and testing systems in place to cover it all.
The process is pretty straight forward - when a user opens a game for the first time they will be presented with a screen that shows the default or current game settings side by side with the settings recommended by NVIDIA's GeForce Experience. You can simply hit apply and the configuration files will be updated to the new settings and you are ready to start gaming. Of course, users can simply use that GFE settings as a "base" and then modify them as they see fit.
This will be particularly useful for the mobile market that is usually never addressed by the in-game auto configurations from companies like Valve, resulting in incredibly low frame rates or a horrible 800x600-style experience. Now users will with machines running the somewhat unknown GT 540M will have the option to get some more modern, and hopefully realistic, settings easily applied.
Obviously the goal is make gaming on the PC as simple as gaming on consoles and this type of service will definitely move the industry in the right direction. With the beta supposedly starting in June, this is going to demand a long-term vision and constant and vigilant updates as new games, new driver revisions and user upgrades will constantly change what the "optimal" settings will be. We wish NVIDIA the best of luck to be sure and we will be testing out the service in the not too distant future.
NVIDIA Announces dual-GPU Kepler GeForce GTX 690
Subject: Graphics Cards | April 28, 2012 - 11:55 PM | Ryan Shrout

During a keynote presentation at GeForce LAN 2012 being held in Shanghai, NVIDIA's CEO Jen-Hsun Huang unveiled what many of us have been theorizing would be coming soon; the dual-GPU variant of the Kepler architecture, the GeForce GTX 690 graphics card.
Though reviews aren't going to be released yet, Huang unveiled pretty much all of the information we need to figure it out. With the full specifications listed as well as details about the stunning new design of the card and cooler, the GTX 690 is without a doubt going to be the fastest graphics card on the market when it goes on sale next month.
The GeForce GTX 690 4GB card is based on a pair of GK104 chips, each sporting 1536 CUDA cores, basically identical to the ones used in the GeForce GTX 680 2GB cards released in March. The base clock speed of these parts is slightly lower at 915 MHz but the "typical" Boost clock is set as high as 1019 MHz, pushing it pretty close to the performance of the single GPU solutions. With a total of 3072 processing cores, the GTX 690 will have insane amounts of compute horsepower.
Each GPU will have access to 2GB of independent frame buffer still running at 6 Gbps, for a grand total of 4GB on the card.
Sitting between the two GPUs will be a PCI Express 3.0 capable bridge chip from PLX supporting full x16 lanes to each GPU and a full x16 back to the host system.
In terms of power requirements, the GTX 690 will use a pair of 8-pin connectors and will have a TDP of 300 watts - actually not that high consider the TDP of the GTX 680 is 195 watts on its own. It is obvious that NVIDIA is going to be pulling the very best chips for this card, those that can run at clock speeds over 1 GHz with minimal leakage.

NVIDIA continues to tease, sends us a crowbar
Subject: Editorial, General Tech, Graphics Cards | April 23, 2012 - 09:58 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, crowbar, kepler
Remember when NVIDIA updated their Facebook page with "It's Coming..." and a picture that you had little chance of learning its origin? Well the marketing team is at again, this time sending over a crowbar. No, seriously.
"For Use in Case of Zombies Or...<NVIDIA LOGO>". So either something BIG is coming later that I am going to need to open with said crowbar or maybe NVIDIA is partnering with Valve to announce Half-Life 3. That second guess is just wishful thinking, sorry.
If nothing else I guess we'll thank NVIDIA for the additional weapon for the eventual zombie apocalypse until such time as they sit fit to clue me in on the joke.
Happy Monday!

NVIDIA Teases Another Graphics Card
Subject: Graphics Cards | April 18, 2012 - 09:22 AM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, facebook, kepler
NVIDIA is using its Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/NVIDIAGeForce to tease another upcoming graphics cards with the following image and the subtitle of "It's Coming."
While there are zero details and the photo is about as ambiguous as it gets, we have several speculations about it. It could be another Kepler-based graphics card like the GTX 670 or GTX 660 but more likely, we are seeing something higher end that NVIDIA wants us to get excited about. Is NVIDIA already prepping the dual-GPU variant we are guessing as the GTX 690?
Like I said, it's basically impossible to tell based on the photo, but apparently we'll know "soon".
Retail Ready
When the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 launched in March we were incredibly impressed with the performance and technology that the GPU was able to offer while also being power efficient. Fast forward nearly a month and we are still having problems finding the card in stock - a HUGE negative towards the perception of the card and the company at this point.
Still, we are promised by NVIDIA and its partners that they will soon have more on shelves, so we continue to look at the performance configurations and prepare articles and reviews for you. Today we are taking a look at the Galaxy GeForce GTX 680 2GB card - their most basic model that is based on the reference design.
If you haven't done all the proper reading about the GeForce GTX 680 and the Kepler GPU, you should definitely check out my article from March that goes into a lot more detail on that subject before diving into our review of the Galaxy card.
The Card, In Pictures
The Galaxy GTX 680 is essentially identical to the reference design with the addition of some branding along the front and top of the card. The card is still a dual-slot design, still requires a pair of 6-pin power connections and uses a very quiet fan in relation to the competition from AMD.

Gilbert Gottfried Apologizes for Offensive Japan Tweets
During the weekend, he tweeted a stream of questionable jokes, including, "I just split up with my girlfriend, but like the Japanese say, 'They'll be another one floating by any minute now,'" and "Japan is really advanced. They don't go to the beach. The beach comes to them." He followed up later with, "Japan called me. They said 'maybe those jokes are a hit in the US, but over here, they're all sinking.'"
There was an immediate backlash from both the Twitter community and the media for his inappropriate remarks, but the hardest hit came from Aflac. Gottfried has been a spokesman for the insurance company since 2000, voicing the iconic Aflac Duck. According to TMZ, the company cut ties with Gottfried yesterday following the explosive tweets. They released a statement that read, "Gilbert's recent comments about the crisis in Japan were lacking in humor and certainly do not represent the thoughts and feelings of anyone at Aflac. ... Aflac will immediately set plans in motion to conduct a nationwide casting call to find a new voice of the iconic Aflac Duck."
Gottfried has since removed the tweets and issued an apology via Twitter today.
Gottfried isn't the only star taking heat for comments he made about Japan over Twitter. Rapper 50 Cent was criticized for tweeting, "Look this is very serious people I had to evacuate all my hoe's from LA, Hawaii and Japan. I had to do it. Lol." He backtracked soon after, saying, "Nah this is nuts but what can anyone do about it. Let's pray for anyone who has lost someone." He continued, "Some of my tweets are ignorant I do it for shock value. Hate it or love it. I'm cool either way 50cent."
The northeast coast of Japan was rocked by a 9.0-magnitude quake, the fourth largest in history, and a massive 30-foot tsunami on Friday. The disaster left at least 6,000 confirmed dead or missing, but officials estimate that the number will likely surpass 10,000. There is also a mounting nuclear crisis as reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant were severely damaged and began to release radioactive chemicals into the air.

So sick of these dumb celebritards "tweeting" something stupid and then "tweeting" an apology the next day.
This crap from Gottfried and Stupid Cent takes the cake, though. You know if their precious LaLaWood was hit by a tsunami they wouldn't be making jokes about it.

What an idiot. The jokes were not only stupid, but not funny. When most people are feeling pain and sorrow for the people of Japan, this crackpot is making jokes. I'll never watch him again.
My heart and prayers go out to all the people in Japan, I can't even imagine how hard it must be and when I see the children, it makes me cry!

What Gottfried did was stupid, but at least he has apologized. I wish more people would learn to do that. Unfortunately we are living in a society with Facebook and Twitter where people don't realize what they say is read all over and can be read by those who are in a position to do something about it. Putting offensive words where they can be read when there has been a disaster or anything is wrong, wrong, wrong.
- Tuesday 15 MarchBy observer
If you think before you tweet, then there is nothing to apologize for after the tweet hits the air. Problem is some people say something before they realize that what they have said is offensive. Moral lesson: Think before you speak not think after you have spoken!!

Gottfried never had any talent except being the Aflec duck. I never saw the guy as being funny, and obviously he's still not funny.

He was even on Hannah Montana before and I think he is usually pretty funny, but this was wrong.
- Tuesday 15 MarchBy Gary Cangemi
I'll be interested to see what they do with the duck's voice. They can't have someone imitate Gilbert's voice or he might sue, right? So how else do you say "AFLAC!" without sounding like Gottfried?
- Tuesday 15 MarchBy WminPhoenix
It would be interesting if these people who are defending Japan asked a US soldier who was forced by Japanese soldiers to go on the Baatan "death march" or the hundreds of thousands of Manchurian people who hade relatives raped, tortured and murdered by the Japanese occupiers during WW2. In any country that was occupied by Japan in WW2, hatred of the Japanese is still prevalant.

YIELD: Makes about 3 1/2 cups
Combine 1 1/2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, 1/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of kosher salt in a medium saucepan. Split 1/2 vanilla bean lengthwise and scrape in seeds; add pod (or use 1 teaspoon vanilla extract). Bring mixture just to a simmer, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat. If using vanilla bean, cover; let sit 30 minutes. Whisk 5 large egg yolks and 1/4 cup sugar in a medium bowl until pale, about 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup warm cream mixture. Whisk yolk mixture into remaining cream mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick enough to coat a wooden spoon, 2-3 minutes. Strain custard into a medium bowl set over a bowl of ice water; let cool, stirring occasionally. Process custard in an ice cream maker according to manufacturer's instructions. Transfer to an airtight container; cover. Freeze until firm, at least 4 hours and up to 1 week.

KWA ATP Airsoft Gas Blowback Gun Pistol Manual
The ATP or Adaptive Training Pistol is the one of the most awaited pistols to ever be released from KWA. The ATP features an extremely high quality metal slide and polymer lower receiver just like some of the most popular real steel pistols on the market. The slide features both forward and rear cocking serrations, making the ATP extremely easy to manipulate. The lower receiver of the ATP sports many of the most popular features that are seen on some of the most popular modern pistols such as a pictatinny rail. The aforementioned rail is located under the front of the gun and gives the user the ability to mount a tactical flashlight or laser for low light conditions. The magazine and slide catch are both placed strategically so that the user can easily manipulate them without moving the hand. To maximize user comfort and to help the user maintain a firm grip on the gun at all time, the grip of the gun is made to contour to the users hand and features a rough texture to provide slip protection. The KWA ATP is powered by KWA's new and extremely impressive NS2 system. The NS2 system gives the ATP an extremely crisp and strong kick with each and every shot. The ATP also is very gas efficient due to the NS2 system and can easily clear a entire magazine with very little cool down. The KWA ATP is a true show stopper and is definitely a huge contender in the GBB market.

Unlike most of its close relatives, Arabidopsis thaliana is capable of self-pollination. In other members of the mustard family, outcrossing is ensured by the complex self-incompatibility (S) locus, which harbors multiple diverged specificity haplotypes that effectively prevent selfing. We investigated the role of the S locus in the evolution of and transition to selfing in A. thaliana. We found that the S locus of A. thaliana harbored considerable diversity, which is an apparent remnant of polymorphism in the outcrossing ancestor. Thus, the fixation of a single inactivated S-locus allele cannot have been a key step in the transition to selfing. An analysis of the genome-wide pattern of linkage disequilibrium suggests that selfing most likely evolved roughly a million years ago or more.

Mozart and The Superbabies – Science Myth Exposed (Humour, Satire)
It was one of the great science myths of recent decades but now the Mozart effect, the notion that playing classical music to pregnant women produces smareter kids has been debunked. Read more (humour for grown ups)
It was one of the great scientific myths of the past two decades. Now we learn that playing Mozart to your unborn child will not boost the baby's intelligence, a new meta analysis of related research has shown. So if you have been playing Rondo A La Turk or Eine Kleine Nachtmusic up you wife or girlfriend's chuff twenty-four/seven hoping it will improve your child's performance at school or turn said child into an infant genius who gets their first PhD at age seven, give the lass a break and let her listen to some Take That or Adele.
This phenomenon, dubbed "The Mozart Effect" was first reported in 1993, when a "peer reviewed" study published in the prestigious, highly respected and gobsmackingly pompous scientific journal Nature reported that fastening a set of speakers playing Mozart's 1781 sonata for two pianos in D major (KV 488) to a pregnant lady's bump with gaffer tape would lead to her delivering a super intelligent and preternaturally mature child like Damien in The Omen. (OK I misrepresented that last bit for comic effect but the super intelligent bit is accurately reported .) In fact the study showed that listening to classical music improved college students cognitive abilities compared with students who listed to other music or none at all.
Since then sales of Mozart CDs for children have become popular very popular among "Liberal" parents in the USA and Daily Mail readers in the UK. In 1998 the state of Georgia even gave every mother of a newborn baby a free classical music CD. It's no effing wonder then that kids are all hooked on Ketamine, Miaow miaow and Crystal Meth, are sexually degenerate and are out of the streets causing trouble. The burden of such expectations and the derogatory effect of classical music on the minds of people who want only to listen to Rage Against the Machine or the incoherent rapping of MC Misogynist and the Boyz In Silly Trousaz.
Some of you will have noticed that I am seldom impressed by those who call themselves "scientists" and bang on about the "scientific method" as if a bunch of addle brained coneheads in white coats are the only human beings who are capable of working methodically. Accountants are, are they not, methodical? Bookies who lay bets on horse racing and other events are, are they not, methodical? Child murderers are, are they not, methodical in the way they stalk, groom, abduct and kill their selected victims and then cover up the evidence?

Amor Mundi 11/10/13
Hannah Arendt considered calling her magnum opus Amor Mundi: Love of the World. Instead, she settled upon The Human Condition. What is most difficult, Arendt writes, is to love the world as it is, with all the evil and suffering in it. And yet she came to do just that. Loving the world means neither uncritical acceptance nor contemptuous rejection. Above all it means the unwavering facing up to and comprehension of that which is.
Every Sunday, The Hannah Arendt Center Amor Mundi Weekly Newsletter will offer our favorite essays and blog posts from around the web. These essays will help you comprehend the world. And learn to love it.
The Nobel Laureate J.M. Coetzee has published an open letter on the recent threats to universities and to the humanities in particular. He warns against the idea that the humanities should be thought of as teaching basic literacy or "skills", in the parlance of recent jargon that dominates committees discussing educational reform. "There is nothing wrong with arguing that a good humanistic education will produce graduates who are critically literate, by some definition of critical literacy. However, the claim that only the full apparatus of a humanistic education can produce critical literacy seems to me hard to sustain, since it is always open to the objection: if critical literacy is just a skill or set of skills, why not just teach the skill itself? Would that not be simpler, and cheaper too?... I believe, you will have to make a stand. You will have to say: we need free enquiry because freedom of thought is good in itself. We need institutions where teachers and students can pursue unconstrained the life of the mind because such institutions are, in ways that are difficult to pin down, good for all of us: good for the individual and good for society."
Recently, the New Statesman asked several prominent artists and scholars what revolution means to them. Some, like filmmaker Judd Apatow, poet Fatima Bhutto, and cartoonist Molly Crabapple, give long answers. Others keep it short; Chinese artist Ai Weiwei answered, simply "The revolution is a bridge that connects the past and the future. It is necessary, unpredictable and inevitable." The revolutions of the modern era were central to Arendt's writing and thinking and she held up the American Revolution in particular as the great example of a liberation movement that succeeded in founding a free body politic. It is helpful to recall her own definition of revolution, if there is one: "The modern idea of revolution, inextricably bound up with the notion that the course of history suddenly begins anew, an entirely new story, a story never known or told before, is about to unfold, was unknown prior to the two great revolutions at the end of the eighteenth century…. Crucial, then, to any understanding of revolutions in the modern age is that the idea of freedom and the experience of a new beginning should coincide."
In an interview about his new book Year Zero: A History of 1945, Ian Buruma describes his ambivalence about heroes: "You need heroes sometimes in periods of crisis. You need them when you're being occupied by the Nazis and in similar situations. But heroes tend not to be very nice people. They can be. There are of course heroic resistors who do it out of sheer decency but there are a lot of adventurers. To be a hero, especially when it involves violence, means you have to be pretty ruthless. Churchill was a hero but he was absolutely ruthless. The British people were absolutely right to cast him out in 1945. Clement Attlee was the man you needed then just as Churchill was the man you needed instead of Chamberlain and Halifax."
Iago's Empathy: On Fiction and Usefulness
Lee Siegel looks at two new studies arguing that reading fiction promotes empathy. "The results were heartening to every person who has ever found herself, throughout her freshman year of college, passionately quoting to anyone within earshot Kafka's remark that great literature is "an axe to break the frozen sea inside us." The subjects who had read literary fiction either reported heightened emotional intelligence or demonstrated, in the various tests administered to them, that their empathy levels had soared beyond their popular- and non-fiction-reading counterparts." But Siegel wonders whether we should promote literature on the practical ground that it fosters empathy: "Though empathy has become something like the celebrity trait of emotional intelligence, it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the sensitivity and gentleness popularly attributed to it. … There is, for example, no more empathetic character in the novel or on the stage than Iago, who is able to detect the slightest fluctuation in Othello's emotional state. Othello, on the other hand, is a noble and magnanimous creature—if vain and bombastic as well—who is absolutely devoid of the gift of being able to apprehend another's emotional states. If he were half as empathetic as Iago, he would be able to recognize the jealousy that is consuming his treacherous lieutenant. The entire play is an object lesson in the emotional equipment required to vanquish other people, or to protect yourself from other people's machinations. But no one—and no study—can say for sure whether the play produces more sympathetic people, or more Iagos."

This week on the Blog, Jeff Champlin revisits Bonnie Honig's classic article on Arendt and Derrida on the question of constitutions. We look again at Roger Berkowitz's essay on Arendt's understanding of the difference between thought and action. Elsewhere, Arendt Center Visiting Scholar Cristiana Grigore appeared on Al Jazeera.
A Common Language
"Any period to which its own past has become as questionable as it has to us must eventually come up against the phenomenon of language, for in it the past is contained ineradicably, thwarting all attempts to get rid of it once and for all. The Greek polis will continue to exist at the bottom of our political existence...for as long as we use the word 'politics.'"
-Hannah Arendt, "Walter Benjamin: 1892-1940"
Some years ago a mentor told me a story from his days as a graduate student at a prestigious political science department. There was a professor there specializing in Russian politics and Sovietology, an older professor who loved teaching and taught well past the standard age of retirement. His enthusiasm was palpable, and he was well-liked by his students. His most popular course was on Russian politics, and towards the end of one semester, a precocious undergraduate visited during office hours: "How hard is it to learn Russian," the student asked, "because I'd really like to start." "Pretty hard," he said, "but that's great to hear. What has you so excited about it?" "Well," said the student, "after taking your course, I'm very inspired to read Marx in the original." At the next class the professor told this story to all of his students, and none of them laughed. He paused for a moment, then somewhat despondently said: "It has only now become clear to me….that none of you know the first thing about Karl Marx."
The story has several morals. As a professor, it reminds me to be careful about assuming what students know. As a student, it reminds me of an undergraduate paper I wrote which spelled Marx's first name with a "C." My professor kindly marked the mistake, but today I can better imagine her frustration. And if the story works as a joke, it is because we accept its basic premise, that knowledge of foreign languages is important, not only for our engagement with texts but with the world at large. After all, the course in question was not about Marx.
The fast approach of the Hannah Arendt Center's 2013 Conference on "The Educated Citizen in Crisis" offers a fitting backdrop to consider the place of language education in the education of the citizen. The problem has long been salient in America, a land of immigrants and a country of rich cultural diversity; and debates about the relation between the embrace of English and American assimilation continue to draw attention. Samuel Huntington, for example, recently interpreted challenges to English preeminence as a threat to American political culture: "There is no Americano dream," he writes in "The Hispanic Challenge," "There is only the American dream created by an Anglo-Protestant society. Mexican Americans will share in that dream and in that society only if they dream in English." For Huntington English is an element of national citizenship, not only as a language learned, but as an essential component of American identity.
This might be juxtaposed with Tracy Strong's support of learning (at least a) second language, including Latin, as an element of democratic citizenship. A second language, writes Strong (see his "Language Learning and the Social Sciences") helps one acquire "what I might call an anthropological perspective on one's own society," for "An important achievement of learning a foreign language is learning a perspective on one's world that is not one's own. In turn, the acquisition of another perspective or even the recognition of the legitimacy of another perspective is, to my understanding, a very important component of a democratic political understanding." Strong illustrates his point with a passage from Hannah Arendt's "Truth and Politics": "I form an opinion," says Arendt, "by considering a given issue from different viewpoints, by making present to my mind the standpoints of those who are absent: that is, I represent them."
Hannah Arendt's deep respect for the American Constitution and American political culture, manifest no less (perhaps even more!) in her criticism than her praise, is well known. After fleeing Nazi Germany and German-occupied France, Arendt moved to the United States where she became a naturalized citizen in 1951. And her views on the relation between the English language and American citizenship are rich and complex.
In "The Crisis in Education" Arendt highlights how education plays a unique political role in America, where "it is obvious that the enormously difficult melting together of the most diverse ethnic groups…can only be accomplished through the schooling, education, and Americanization of the immigrants' children." Education prepares citizens to enter a common world, of which English in America is a key component: "Since for most of these children English is not their mother tongue but has to be learned in school, schools must obviously assume functions which in a nation-state would be performed as a matter of course in the home."
At the same time, Arendt's own embrace of English is hardly straightforward. In a famous 1964 interview with she says: "The Europe of the pre-Hitler period? I do not long for that, I can tell you. What remains? The language remains. […] I have always consciously refused to lose my mother tongue. I have always maintained a certain distance from French, which I then spoke very well, as well as from English, which I write today […] I write in English, but I have never lost a feeling of distance from it. There is a tremendous difference between your mother tongue and another language…The German language is the essential thing that has remained and that I have always consciously preserved."
Here Arendt seems both with and against Huntington. On one hand, learning and embracing English—the public language of the country—is what enables diverse Americans to share a common political world. And in this respect, her decision to write and publish in English represents one of her most important acts of American democratic citizenship. By writing in English, Arendt "assumes responsibility for the world," the same responsibility that education requires from its educators if they are to give the younger generation a common world, but which she finds sorely lacking in "The Crisis of Education."
At the same time, though, Arendt rejects the idea that American citizenship requires treating English as if it were a mother tongue. Arendt consciously preserves her German mother tongue as both an element of her identity and a grounding of her understanding of the world, and in 1967 she even accepted the Sigmund Freud Award of the German Academy of Language and Poetry that "lauded her efforts to keep the German language alive although she had been living and writing in the United States for more than three decades" (I quote from Frank Mehring's 2011 article "'All for the Sake of Freedom': Hannah Arendt's Democratic Dissent, Trauma, and American Citizenship"). For Arendt, it seems, it is precisely this potentiality in America—for citizens to share and assume responsibility for a common world approached in its own terms, while also bringing to bear a separate understanding grounded by very different terms—that offers America's greatest democratic possibilities. One might suggest that Arendt's engagement with language, in her combination of English responsibility and German self-understanding, offers a powerful and thought-provoking model of American democratic citizenship.
What about the teaching of language? In the "The Crisis in Education" Arendt is critical of the way language, especially foreign language, is taught in American schools. In a passage worth quoting at length she says:
"The close connection between these two things—the substitution of doing for learning and of playing for working—is directly illustrated by the teaching of languages; the child is to learn by speaking, that is by doing, not by studying grammar and syntax; in other words he is to learn a foreign language in the same way that as an infant he learned his own language: as though at play and in the uninterrupted continuity of simple existence. Quite apart from the question of whether this is possible or not…it is perfectly clear that this procedure consciously attempts to keep the older child as far as possible at the infant level."
Arendt writes that such "pragmatist" methods intend "not to teach knowledge but to inculcate a skill." Pragmatic instruction helps one to get by in the real world; but it does not allow one to love or understand the world. It renders language useful, but reduces language to an instrument, something easily discarded when no longer needed. It precludes philosophical engagement and representative thinking. The latest smartphone translation apps render it superfluous.
But how would one approach language differently? And what does this have to do with grammar and syntax? Perhaps there are clues in the passage selected as our quote of the week, culled from Arendt's 1968 biographical essay about her friend Walter Benjamin. There, Arendt appreciates that Benjamin's study of language abandons any "utilitarian" or "communicative" goals, but approaches language as a "poetic phenomenon." The focused study of grammar develops different habits than pragmatist pedagogy. In the process of translation, for example, it facilitates an engagement with language that is divorced from practical use and focused squarely on meaning. To wrestle with grammar means to wrestle with language in the pursuit of truth, in a manner that inspires love for language—that it exists—and cross-cultural understanding. Arendt was famous for flexing her Greek and Latin muscles—in part, I think, as a reflection of her love for the world. The study of Greek and Latin is especially amenable to a relationship of love, because these languages are hardly "practical." One studies them principally to understand, to shed light on the obscure; and through their investigation one discovers the sunken meanings that remain hidden and embedded in our modern languages, in words we speak regularly without realizing all that is contained within them. By engaging these "dead" languages, we more richly and seriously understand ourselves. And these same disinterested habits, when applied to the study of modern foreign languages, can enrich not only our understanding of different worldviews, but our participation in the world as democratic citizens.
-John LeJeune
The Febrile Imagination of Arendt Haters
Stanley Kaufmann has a over-the-top critique of "Hannah Arendt" in The New Republic. As with most such reviews, it is driven more by personal animus towards Arendt than by any consideration of the film. Here is one representative graph:
Today at least we can see that there is small point in separating emotions from facts, as Arendt did. The immense horror of the Holocaust washed away any philosophical distinctions. Any sparing of Eichmann would have left millions of people feeling guilty of not fulfilling their duty. (An incidental bother: Before the war Arendt had been the student and lover of Martin Heidegger, who became a Nazi, and Arendt returned to him briefly after the war. This was presumably more a matter of Venus than politics; still it bothered many.) But Arendt's strict adherence to her views resulted in her discharge from her teaching position, and the picture closes with her defiant parting address to her class.
First, Arendt did not return to her love affair with Heidegger after the war. Why imply she did?
Second, Arendt was not dismissed from a teaching position.
Mr. Kaufmann seems to have slept periodically through the movie and mixed up fantasy and reality in his fertile imagination. These are of course small points, but they are indications of just how deeply some people feel the need to discredit Arendt with personal attacks instead of addressing her ideas.
The Dorm Wars
The Dorm Wars have not yet caused the numerous bankruptcies amongst minor and maybe even some more established colleges that seem inevitable. What they have done is change the nature of college education. Whether at Harvard or Ramapo, students want luxury dorms with private bathrooms and glitzy campus centers. And since students—fueled with cheap student debt are the all-powerful consumers—campus administrators have followed the money. Unfortunately, they also too often followed their students into debt. As the NY Times reports today,
A decade-long spending binge to build academic buildings, dormitories and recreational facilities — some of them inordinately lavish to attract students — has left colleges and universities saddled with large amounts of debt. Oftentimes, students are stuck picking up the bill.
I recently visited my alma mater for a reunion and was housed in the building where decades ago I labored long into the night as an editor for my beloved Prism magazine. It is the dorm in which I once put my hand through a glass door in the midst of a late-night editing and layout session. I barely recognized the Pratt Dormitory, which resembled more a Tablet style hotel than a college dormitory.
Such lavish quarters are now seen as necessary to attract the best students—something that is sad if it is true. And this perception, true or false, has unleashed the dorm wars. Some colleges, like the one I attended, don't need to borrow to build. But many others think that they do.
"If Ramapo College was going to respond to what students wanted, which was larger, more comprehensive programs and residential housing, then we were going to have to go out and borrow," Peter P. Mercer, President of the public liberal arts college in New Jersey told the Times.
How wrong is that. Borrowing can of course be justified. But if you want to build something, there are other options. You can, for example, go out and raise the money. That requires work, convincing people, many of whom have no personal connection to your college, that what you are doing is important and worthy of support. Excessive borrowing is, too often, the resort of those unwilling to take the longer and yet more responsible path of building an institution that people are willing to invest in and support.
More importantly, the enormous borrowing of colleges reported by the Times is evidence of an educational system that has simply lost its way. The fastest growing costs at colleges across the country are for administrators and for capital projects. Much of the borrowing is financing new luxury buildings and a bloated services staff. The priorities are wrong and real focus on teaching and learning seems to have been largely ignored. As students and parents confront extraordinary costs that go increasingly to pay interest on debt and support lavish undergraduate living, many are increasingly rebelling.
And for the first time in generations, students have other options. The rise of Internet learning is going to disrupt college education in this country as the Internet has transformed nearly every other area of life. And it will do so at the very moment when the finances of colleges and universities around the country are shakier than they have been in generations. The shake out will be painful.
What needs to be thought here is what is it that allowed debt to become so infectious within and amongst our educational institutions. With $1 trillion in student debt and $200 billion in institutional debt, education more and more resembles the housing and financial sectors of our economy.
Education is supposed to be a conservative enterprise, a bastion of learning and teaching the accumulated history and knowledge of the past. Somewhere along the line, education changed from being an experience of teaching and forming young individuals and citizens and became something very different. Higher education is now a progressive launching pad for careers. It is job security for tenured professors. It is the center of research and the producer of valuable sports franchises. Lost in the mix, I fear, is original mission itself. Just as banks and financial institutions abandoned their old job of lending and saving money and sought to become investment banks, so too have colleges changed from being educational institutions to being consumer brands selling luxury and success instead of the life of the mind. Some can do both. But many more will go the way of Pan Am and Hostess.

Learning the Rules of the New Game? Comparing the Reactions in Financial Markets to Announcements before and after the Bank of England's Operational Independence
The increase in transparency embedded in the new monetary policy framework established in the UK after 1997 was expected to make the market less sensitive to interest rate decisions and more to macroeconomic releases. This has not turned out to be the case. This article uses high-frequency data to explore three possible explanations for the puzzling results: markets are still learning the new framework, there have been changes in the surprise component of macroeconomic announcements, and markets react more to international announcements after 1997. None of these hypotheses is born out by the data.

sciences and mathematics in the United States that year.2 Clearly, these are no longer programs only for an elite audience; participation in some form of advanced study has become almost the norm for students seeking admission to the most selective colleges. Advanced study programs can affect students' future opportunities, and the quality and availability of these programs have become central concerns.
As the United States becomes more diverse, racial and socioeconomic gaps persist in high school students' access to and success in advanced study. While minority participation in advanced mathematics and science courses has increased substantially during the past 20 years (National Science Foundation [NSF], 1999), inner-city and rural schools, especially those with high percentages of minority and poor students, are still less likely to offer these courses (Ma and Willms, 1999). Many schools in low-income communities remain ill equipped to provide advanced study, in part because they are less likely than schools with greater resources to have highly qualified teachers or sufficient laboratories, equipment, and other curriculum materials (Darling-Hammond, 2000; Ferguson, 1991, 1998; Greenwald, Hedges, and Laine, 1996; Murnane, 1996; Wright, Horn, and Sanders, 1997). In addition to these gaps, there are parallel disparities in access within racially and ethnically diverse schools. In these schools, African American, Hispanic, and Native American students and those of low socioeconomic status are much less likely than white or Asian American students to enroll in upper-level mathematics and science courses even when such courses are available (Atanda, 1999; Horn, Nunez, and Bobbitt, 2000; Ma and Willms, 1999). Those who do enroll are much less likely to fare as well as white or Asian American students on national examinations. These facts represent a major challenge for advanced study programs.
A number of additional trends and concerns make this an appropriate time to analyze programs for advanced study of science and mathematics:
Changes in science and mathematics—Rapid advances (e.g., the tremendous progress in molecular biology) mean that traditional course content may be inadequate for the future.
Demands for accountability—There is increasing pressure from policymakers and the public for school accountability, and participation in advanced study is often used as a measure of school quality.
Connections to earlier years and higher education—Since learning of science and mathematics tends to be hierarchical, advanced programs in

Coal burning power plants, manufacturers, and other major sources of carbon dioxide emissions aren't happy about the Clean Air Act, and they are doing everything they can to make sure the Environmental Protection Agency is unable to enforce it.
Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska has proposed an amendment that would deny the EPA its ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from "non-mobile" sources. This means that the EPA would only be able to enforce limits and regulations on vehicles, and not on the industrial players that are sending millions of tons of carbon emissions into our atmosphere every day.
This drastic move would leave over 70% of the CO2 emissions produced in the United States completely unregulated, including every single industry polluter and coal plant.
From the amendment:
"Effective during the 1-year period beginning on the date of enactment of this Act, none of the funds made available for the Environmental Protection Agency under this Act may be expended to regulate or control carbon dioxide from any sources other than a mobile source as described in section 202(a) of the Clean Air Act or to treat carbon dioxide as a pollutant subject to regulation under the Clean Air Act except for purposes of section 10 202(a) of that Act."
If passed, this amendment would prevent the EPA from enforcing any regulations on industrial polluters for the next year. This stalling and underhanded sabotage is the same kind of tactic that's currently being used delay and dismantle proposed health care reform.
Even as international representatives are gathered in New York to discuss how to take action on global climate change, Murkowski's amendment threatens to take away the EPA's authority to deal with air pollution; a right that was granted by a 2007 Supreme Court Ruling.
This amendment will pass unless the Senate stands up against it. Take action now, and tell your state Senators that this kind of sneaky amendment will not be tolerated! Sign the petition to Defend the EPA.

UPDATE from Mother Jones Magazine: Sen. Murkowski's attempt to block EPA regulation of greenhouse gases will fail before it gets to a vote! http://bit.ly/41R3rh
What is it with these Alaskan bitches out to destroy their home State's animals and environment? Here we go again--polluters demanding the right to pollute. Are we gonna let them?
Clean coal is a myth perpetrated by the coal industry. Year ago I worked for a company that was trying to manufacture a "machine" that would "clean" coal. Nothing ever came of it!
Alaska is not hers to destroy because she is in bed with the big oil and gas. All the environemantal agencies should really try to hang her and her respresentatives and don't let them follow the stupid ideas from Palin. Alaska is the most beautiful state with National Parks. We must stop her ignorant actions.
Please email or ring this senator and tell her you absolutely object to this disgusting amendment! Tell her she was voted in to protect and serve the people not the polluters. I'm from Australia and I emailed her. She can not be allowed to do this.

Pregame Preview: Padres go for sweep of Atlanta
The Padres are looking to complete their first series sweep of the season Wednesday in Atlanta before flying home to begin a crucial 11-game homestand at Petco Park.
The Padres have won a season-high four straight games going into Wednesday's finale of the three-game series against the Braves at Turner Field (4:10 p.m.; TV-4 San Diego). The last time the Padres won four straight games was last Aug. 16-19, which was a five-game winning streak that was capped by a four-game sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley Field in Chicago.
The last time the Padres swept a series was last Sept. 6-8 when they swept a three-game series against the Dodgers at Petco Park.
Some numbers: The Padres are 11-7 this season in the final game of a series, 8-3 overall on get-away days (on a day when the club travels by plane or bus) and 7-2 in days when they either fly back home or to another city at the end of a series.
The Padres call flights after a win "happy flights."
But the Padres haven't swept a three-game series from Atlanta since 2005 and haven't swept the Braves in Atlanta since 1989.
The Padres will start their longest homestand of the season Thursday. They will play four-game series against Houston and Washington sandwiched around a three-game series against National League West rival Colorado.
But to get their sweep, the Padres will have to beat the Braves' Tommy Hanson for the first time since he arrived in the major leagues in 2009. Hanson is 3-0 against the Padres with a 1.78 ERA in four starts.
PADRES (24-31) at BRAVES (30-26)

TV: 4 San Diego.
Radio: 1090-AM, 1700-AM, 860-AM (Spanish)
Pitching Matchups

Richard vs. Braves: 0-3 career, 7.90 ERA in three starts.
Richard at Turner Field: 0-2 career, 9.72 ERA in two starts.
Richard, 27, is 2-2 on the road this season with a 6.00 ERA in six starts. In his last outing in Washington, Richard held the Nationals to one run on three hits in seven innings, although he didn't get a decision. He is 1-1 with a 3.57 ERA in his last three starts after giving up a season-high 10 hits and eight runs (seven earned) on May 10 in Milwaukee. The Padres are 3-8 in his 11 starts.
Braves vs. Richard

Hanson vs. Padres: 3-0 career, 1.78 ERA in four starts.
Hanson at Turner Field: 15-9 career, 3.14 ERA in 35 starts.
The 6-foot-6, 220-pound Hanson, 24, was the Braves' 22nd round pick in the 2005 draft. He has allowed the Padres on 19 hits in 25 1/3 innings while striking out 27. On April 27 at Petco Park, Hanson blanked the Padres on four hits over seven innings while striking out 10 in seven innings. He is 26-19 with the Braves with a 3.10 ERA in 66 starts

One of the men most responsible for the St. Louis Cardinals' 2011 World Series championship is currently locked in a battle with the team to be paid more like the star he is becoming, but this isn't the type of battle that should raise serious concerns. David Freese is one of the most talented young position players the Cardinals have, and he has plenty of potential to grow into another St. Louis baseball superstar. So far, the team has gotten an incredible bargain with Freese, who has made just $1.7 million total in his four-year career and is currently the 16th highest-paid player on the team. It's time for Freese to start earning more money. In his four years with the club, Freese has hit .296 and his power numbers have increased exponentially each year. He finished with career highs in hits, homeruns, doubles, runs scored and RBIs in 2012. And don't forget he has a career .345 postseason batting average and was the MVP of the 2011 National League Championship Series and World S...
