Algebraic geometry is such a vast and deep subject that the list of monographs and textbooks devoted to it is not a short one. But it is so fundamental that there is always a place for a new textbook, sometimes with little overlap with the existing literature. Taking into account the overwhelming amount of basic background needed to understand the basics of the modern Grothendieck-style approach that the average student has to grasp to understand the current literature and begin doing research, one understands why many of these excellent books leave out the examples and results that kept the subject alive before there were sheaves and schemes.
It is true that the good students would eventually find and work out these examples by themselves, perhaps with the help of some books that kept them close and rewrote them in modern language; Shafarevich's Basic Algebraic Geometry Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 is one that comes to mind immediately. But the older literature, rich with examples and calculations, sometimes is out of reach, not only for its dispersion but also for its outdated language and different standards of rigor.
Fortunately, in recent years some authors have taken the task of presenting the modern reader, in a contemporary language, the concrete examples and theorems filled with intuitive ideas that stimulated the subject and were the springboard for most of the current developments.
The beautiful book under review surveys some parts of the vast landscape of classical algebraic geometry using the tools and language of modern algebraic geometry. By a tasteful selection of a few vistas, the author focuses on some classical constructions and results that make the subject alive in our natural language. I must remark that this is not a historical treatise. It is a mathematical time-travel book where the reader talks to Cremona, del Pezzo, Hesse, and Cayley in contemporary mathematical language.
To give the reader an idea of the contents and level of the book, it is enough to look at the first chapter: This chapter starts with a few pages of linear algebra. Then we are led to the ideas surrounding the theory of polarity: the polar pairing, polar hypersurfaces and polar quadrics. In this chapter we find some results by Hesse, Steiner, Cayley, and other classical geometers, but everything is formulated, written and proved with 20th century methods. What this looks like can be seen starting in page 4, where one is reminded that the projective space comes equipped with the tautological invertible sheaf whose global sections are identified with the dual of the underlying vector space.
This sets the tone for the whole book: cohomological methods are used when needed, for example to prove results on del Pezzo surfaces in Chapter eight. The chosen vistas and stopovers include curves and quadric surfaces, plane cubics, determinantal varieties, plane quartics, Cremona transformations, del Pezzo and cubic surfaces, Grassmannians of lines, ruled surfaces and theta characteristics.
As the author points out in its introduction, the beautiful textbook by Beltrametti, Carletti, Gallarati and Bragadin, Lectures on Curves, Surfaces and Projective Varieties. A Classical View of Algebraic Geometry (EMS, 2009) covers a similar sample of classical varieties, but with a more modest mathematical background from the reader. The books complement each other; together they give an overview, with a modern approach, of a subject rich with fascinating examples that one can miss in the mist of the formidable machinery that one now has to learn to enter this area of mathematics.

Or: Deconstruction via Inversion of Rhetorical Symmetries
Hey guys,
This is a post I've been meaning to make for ages now – work's been a major pain recently, so I've been spending what little free time I have relaxing with the mates. That said, I'm feeling sick today – I think I'm contagious – so I've opted to stay in this Friday night. So I thought I'd take the opportunity to flick this up while I have some spare time to burn.
I'm demonstrating a technique for deconstructing an argument to get at the meat. The vast majority of arguments that we come across, in the paper, online, with friends and family, politicians, and even professional debaters contain vast portions of text that are superficially persuasive but don't actually carry any substance. Because of this, if you wish to perform a critical reading of the text to work out exactly what's going on it can be hard to work out what the core of the argument actually is.
If this is the case, its useful to first deconstruct the argument to try and weed out the hollow phrases and find the actual hard framework on which the flesh of the argument rests.
Note: This isn't to say that hollow phrases are always a bad thing – they're just a bad thing for the purpose of a critical reading, but in a persuasive or strategic sense they can be very useful.
This is a technique of deconstruction that I stumbled on – it was inspired by Gorgias if you're curious. I'm not sure if this method of deconstruction already exists – I'm an armchair rhetor and largely self-taught, so I'm actually pretty ignorant of what's already out there.
Disclaimer aside, here's a bit of theory. There is a certain class of speech that conveys information. There is another class of speech that sounds like it conveys information, but doesn't. The first class is the framework of the argument, and the second one is an important element of persuasion – the flesh that rests on the hard skeleton. Deciding which is which can be tricky.
Consider the following two statements:
1) Loving your children more than God is sinful.
2) Loving your children more than God is noble.
I apologize for jumping straight on the God-button, but this is actually a very apt example of an interesting phenomenon in argument. Often when we assign meaning to a measurement, we could also have plausibly assigned the contrary meaning very easily. The two statements above are perfectly symmetrical in that, on their own, they are both opposite in meaining as well as being equally plausible. As far as I can tell, Gorgias liked to point out this feature of argument for kicks.
So reading a few snatches of text from Gorgias where he pulled this kind of trick got me to thinking… An interesting method for deconstructing an argument could be to try and mirror any given sentence (or paragraph) and see if I could make a symmetrical argument to the original. When I started doing this, I found I couldn't do this with every argument. Perhaps it can't actually be done all the time – or maybe I'm just not as skilled in this art as Gorgias was. Either way, there is usually some parts of any given argument that I can invert, and other parts that I cannot.
Looked at in this light, the parts that cannot be inverted become very interesting – they are the points around which the argument in question is formed, like a pearl around a fleck of grit. Often they won't even be the pieces that the author thinks their argument rests on – usually they highlight some basic and implied assumption that hasn't been explicitly stated in the argument itself. They become the entry points to the argument in question. They're the points of interest if you're doing a rhetorical reading, and the points that need to be attacked if you are constructing a rebuttal.
The text below is my first attempt at doing this in full. I did it some time ago on a different blog of mine, so it's a year old now. It was a brilliant learning exercise. My idea kind-of worked and kind-of didn't. I had to shuffle some sections around a little bit, and take a bit of license with some of the words. But on the whole, I think I came up with an interesting result when I stumbled on the bits that I just couldn't invert.
The intent here is for you to play the video and, as you listen to JesusFreak's speech you should read the text I inverted from that speech at the same time as you hear him speaking. A few pieces are a little confusing where I had to shuffle the sentence structures around a bit to get them to work, so you may need to pause and rewind a few times. But the thing I found really interesting was stumbling on the parts that I just couldn't fit in. I had to cut them out to make the inversion work. The clippings are referenced in the text and assembled as a footer.
I think that's enough theory for now. If you're still interested, click the play button and follow the text through. Keep in mind that what I've written below isn't a rebuttal, it's a deconstruction. If I were setting out to rebut this video, I would do this kind of deconstruction on the side before writing up my rebuttal so as to get a feel for JesusFreak's main points (the clippings). These points would then be my main areas of attack when constructing the rebuttal itself.
So once again – it's a little clumsy as its my first go, so please be generous in your reading!

Hey YouTube, I want to talk to you about atheist morality.
Now, a lot of people say athiests can't be moral. I argue that: Moral by who's standards? I say athiests can be moral.
You see, I believe that human beings derive our morality from multiple sources. One being family, the second being society, the third being personal experience. [cut] Well, I believe that the morality that human beings subscribe to usually concerning family, society and personal experience are actually quite flexible.
If you study the term 'moral relativisim' you'll see that society can often dictate what is or isn't moral. So there is a flex there, within that morality. However, within Christianity they have direct teaching as to what is moral and that morality never flexes, it's very rigid. They fail to understand that our own human nature supercedes morality. So I do believe athiests can be moral within any context they're presented with. [cut]
That's why I use the term Moral Anarchy. Anarchy – we all know the defnition of – basically it's an opposition to a governing body. And I believe that when we rebel against our Heavenly Father, and argue that our morality supercedes even that of God's morality, or our morality is equivalent to God's morality, that is tantamount to Moral Anarchisim.
You see, this book trys to tell us what is right and what is wrong. But do the same laws and the same rules that applied to us two thousand years ago still apply to us today?
But if you were to look at the secular moral arguments, we would see that morality has flexed, and has changed, and has evolved. What was taboo a hundred years ago is now more socially acceptable. So we can see that whenever God Almighty dictates what is morality it remains consistent. But when humans dictate what is morality there is no consistency, and that is true morality.
It's very popular nowadays for people to say, "Well, you're not Christian! You don't deserve heaven!" even though they're talking to someone who doesn't believe in God. And they act as though their morality is equal to that of their audience. Well if we look at the prologue to Thus Spake Zarathustra, Section 3, Line 9:
I conjure you, my brethren, REMAIN TRUE TO THE EARTH, and believe not those who speak unto you of superearthly hopes! Poisoners are they, whether they know it or not.
You see, the law only claims that it helps us to understand how far we are from God. [cut]
Now I would like to speak on Atheism being the greatest threat to humanity. I would offer you this: Some would say, "Well, JesusFreak, what about famine, war, terrorism; aren't those greater threats to humanity?" From a physical point of view, yes, I would concede that war has probably taken more physical life than atheism ever has.
But I'm not speaking of the threat to humanity from just a mere physical point of view. I'm speaking of an internal, spiritual point of view.
You see, we're all going to die one way or the other. If you die from famine, that doesn't mean you're going to hell. If you die from war or from terrorisim, once again, you're not condemned to hell because of those reasons.
But the only way you can believe in and fear hell is from faith in a religion.
Atheism promotes this lack of faith in religion, so it actually encourages the spiritual, ever-changing growth of untold number of people.
So out of the gate we see that I believe that atheism promotes Moral Anarchisim. And that is why I believe that atheism is the greatest boon to humanity. Now note I'm not saying athiests are the greatest boon, because not all atheists are. There are a lot of petty, arrogant athiests that simply don't believe in doing the right thing. That's fine! Every athiest must deal with the consequences of their actions at some point in their life. We're all born atheists, and only if we develop a relationship with an organized religion do we become religious.
So I'm not saying that athiests are the threat, but the teachings of religion. I equate religion with eternal death. It's kind of like dying of starvation when you have food around you and you just refuse to eat.
The world is all around you, the answers are there.
Ask yourself, think for yourself, read books of philosophy, ask people, send me messages, talk to a philosopher, go to a University.
The answers are there, all you have to do is look for them. And they're pretty plain to see, it's pretty easy to find these answers.
So, I just would just like to extend that invitation. If you have any questions, if you would like to investigate the joys of a life without religion, let me know and I would love to show you how to do so.
I hope your thought is provoked by this message, and I hope that each and every one of you learns to become more than you ever thought possible. I'm certain you will.
Cutting Floor
- … but there is a fourth source of morality that humans look to, and that is: God, through theism… [back]
- … that we have a litmus test – that is, God – to judge what is moral or isn't moral against… [back]
- … and Christ purifies us and atones for us and then we are just because of Jesus Christ… [back]
And there you have it.
This technique is imperfect, but it was definitely interesting to see how JesusFreak's entire argument boiled down to these three points. The rest of his argument was essentially padding around these points. Particularly interesting was the feel of the thing when I swapped out JF's Bible quotation for a Nietzsche reference. Quotes of this sort are kind of like cranes (the construction kind of crane, not the bird). You pick up a chunk from some other argument and then drop it into your own.
So my 'inversion' of JF's bible reference was just to quote-mine something exactly opposite to the original. It felt like I was cheating when I did it, but the first time I played through the video as I read the deconstruction it really seemed to work – and it also made me realize that just dropping in a pithy quote from someone clever may not be the best way of advancing an argument.
A witty saying proves nothing.
– Voltaire
… Although if selected appropriately they can still be relevant and useful. ^_^
So that's it for now – mull this one over for a while. I've got another post brewing in my mind that's itching to get itself out. Y'see, I've been using this technique of deconstruction for almost a year now (I don't write out the entire thing in full every time – I just scan through the argument looking for something that I can't invert). And I'm starting to see a connection between this method of deconstruction and the need for evidence in argument. If used properly, hard evidence is a great symmetry breaker.
But that's just a forshadowing. More on that topic later.

Stonewall today publishes the results of its inaugural Healthcare Equality Index, showcasing the most gay-friendly healthcare organisations in England. Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust heads the list with Liverpool Community Health NHS Trust in second place followed by London Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
The Healthcare Equality Index is a new tool for health providers to benchmark and track their progress on equality for their lesbian, gay and bisexual patients and communities.
Sussex Partnership NHS Trust leads the Top 10, following their success at being the top performing NHS employer in Stonewall's Top 100 Employers 2012.
Thirty two healthcare organisations entered the Index, providing services to over 15 million patients across all regions of England. Organisations were assessed against criteria including policy and practice, engagement and communication, health promotion and staff training.
James Taylor, Stonewall's Senior Health Officer, said: 'Every healthcare organisation that secured a place in the Top 10 has performed well. Our ground-breaking research consistently demonstrates that many lesbian, gay and bisexual people still face poor health outcomes and experiences when they use the NHS. Every organisation that entered this Index is helping to tackle health inequalities and deliver a 21st century health service accessible to everyone, regardless of sexual orientation.'
Lisa Rodrigues CBE, Chief Executive at Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, said: 'We're utterly delighted to be awarded the number one position in the first Stonewall Healthcare Equality Index. We see the award not as a sign that our work is done. But rather, we have made a strong start. It's our honour and duty to provide the best possible treatment and care to the 100,000 people a year we serve.'
The Healthcare Equality Index 2013 can be downloaded from www.stonewall.org.uk/HEI
1) Stonewall's health research has consistently shown the health inequalities lesbian, gay and bisexual people face. Prescription for Change (Stonewall, 2008) found three in ten bisexual women have deliberately harmed themselves in the last year, and half (52 per cent) of lesbians and bisexual women who have accessed healthcare services in the last year have had a negative experience. Gay and Bisexual Men's Health Survey (Stonewall, 2012) found three per cent of gay men (and five per cent of bisexual men) have attempted to take their own life in the last year compared to just 0.4 per cent of men in general and half (52 per cent) of bisexual men have never had an HIV test.

Hanukkah in America: A History
By Diane Ashton
New York University Press, 350 pages
On a recent episode of ABC's half-hour "outer-space aliens in New Jersey just trying to blend in" sitcom, The Neighbors, the titular extraterrestrials decide to create the best fall holiday ever: Challoweenukah. The ensuing complications aren't strictly relevant. Suffice it to say, the show presents the Jewish half of the holiday mash-up as roughly comparable to the other half—a domestic seasonal festival with opportunities for children's enjoyment, accompanied by vaguely uplifting messages about solidarity and personal and communal expression.
Dianne Ashton completed writing her new book long before the "Challoweenukah" episode aired, but it would have fit into her book perfectly. Hanukkah in America: A History delivers precisely what its title describes: an outline of the holiday's changing nature and fortunes throughout the American Jewish experience. In many ways, Ashton persuasively argues, the history of American Hanukkah is the history of the American Jewish experience. The various uses of the holiday, and the development or modification of certain religious traditions, customs, and rhetoric on these shores, have always corresponded precisely to the historical American moment in which they developed and to the way American Jews viewed their position in their new, adopted, or permanent home. Those familiar with the contours of the American Jewish story won't find much surprising here in the way of grand narrative. But the devil—or in this case, the delight—is in the details.
What makes Hanukkah (which is Ashton's transliteration—the English spelling variants for the holiday and their significance could have been a chapter in itself) such a perfect choice for this kind of analysis of American Jewish life? The simplicity of the prescribed rites and their comparative lack of associated religious legal obligation mean the holiday has always been comparatively easy to modify. Its story of ancient conflict between Hellenizing Jews (roughly speaking, assimilationists) and traditionalists (also roughly speaking) gives it constant resonance for questions Jews face about accommodating to American culture. And perhaps most important, its position on the calendar led to both the opportunity for blurring cultural boundaries and sharply reestablishing them, in the face of what Rabbi Abraham Karp first termed the "December dilemma" in 1958.
Though the book looks back to the holiday's roots in antiquity, Ashton's story really takes off in the mid- to late-19th century (not coincidentally, when American Jewish history really began to gather momentum). This was also a period when Americans were inventing secular national holidays such as Thanksgiving while secularizing Christmas—transforming Santa Claus "from the Christian St. Nicholas to a pudgy shopkeeper with magical powers for gift-giving," emphasizing family and home-centered customs such as a decorated tree (Franklin Pierce first set up a Christmas tree for his family in the White House in 1856) and gifts for family members, especially children.
These secularizing, commodifying, domesticating changes would be echoed by Jews celebrating Hanukkah, particularly the focus on children. As Sunday schools began to make Christmas more exciting and fun, Jewish religious schools, synagogues, and communal institutions felt they had to keep up. It was thought prudent to use the holiday to create memorable religious experiences for children so as to avoid "losing" them religiously. Thus, according to Ashton, Jewish gift-giving seems to have become common for the first time in the 1880s, with gifts picked out specially for children (the most favored present: books), a trend that only deepened with the mass Jewish immigration from Eastern Europe. Presents was one of the first English words to appear in Yiddish newspapers. The accompanying shift from handing out coins (Hanukkah gelt) to gifts designed specifically to appeal to kids was part of the cultural moment.
These weren't merely gifts; Ashton felicitously calls the shift a transition to "a Hanukkah filled with objects." By far, the most diverting and entertaining gift Ashton gives us is the detailed description and tantalizing catalogue of the commodities and entertainments developed for American Jewish consumption in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. There were songs: sheet music, records, Hanukkah concerts. There were new ritual features and objects—after the 1920s came the electric menorahs. Carmel wine was, its ads claimed, "what the Maccabees drank," while the Eastern European potato pancake became the tasty representation of the oil in the Hanukkah lamps. Celebratory cards came into vogue first as a 1926 product of the National Federation of Temple Sisterhoods, a half century after their Christian counterparts were introduced. And dramatic spectacles were staged: plays for children and adults alike, the grandest with tableaux vivants featuring Maccabees in battle armor and a grand procession complete with more than a hundred young women with cymbals.
It was women, for the most part, who bought the gifts, prepared the menorahs, and cooked the latkes, and who set the domestic stage to make (to use the title of a bestselling 20th-century book) The Jewish Home Beautiful. Ashton, who has written before on Jewish women's spirituality, is particularly adept at showing the blurred and blurry lines between the centrality of the domestic sphere and the role played by family networks, communal institutions, and religious leaders and opinion-makers. She summons a dazzling variety of characters, from the famous (Isaac Mayer Wise, Mordechai Kaplan, Penina Moise) to the obscure, because everyone used Hanukkah to support his own planks and positions.
Hanukkah, over the course of its American history, has stood for everything. It was a call to Jews to rededicate themselves to their faith (as a holiday of rededication). It was a way to legitimate the reform of traditional Judaism (as the Maccabees had reformed Hellenizing Judaism). It was an occasion to underscore the American Jewish support for American democracy and institutions (the Maccabees as fighters for freedom and liberty). It was a prooftext for Zionists (as it supported Jewish political independence). It was a solace for revolutionaries and socialists (Abraham Cahan claimed Jewish socialists to be "humanity's Maccabees"). It became a touchstone for the counterculture (1973's Jewish Catalog invited readers to "forage in the woods to find your own menorah"). And it was a shining opportunity to teach non-Jews about Jews' contributions to American and Western civilization (in recent Chabad presentations on public space with municipal leaders from the government).
Most recently, it stands, according to Ashton, for an increasing spirituality, religiosity, and American Jewish confidence. But it also stands, to use Justice Brennan's words in his ruling about displaying religious symbols on public land, as "simply a recognition of cultural diversity," a symbol largely devoid of religious content. The fact that it can stand for both simultaneously underscores the ever increasing diversity of American Jewish identity and suggests there are more chapters in the story to tell.
Where will Hanukkah go next? If The Neighbors is to be believed, then outer space, perhaps, thus making a classic Mel Brooks fantasy come true. In America, however, the twists and turns will almost certainly follow the guidelines suggested by Ashton, who has given us a useful guide to thinking not only about this holiday, but American Jewish cultural behavior in general.

Plattsburgh High wind combined with the weight of snow caused the canopy over the gas pumps at the Sandri Sunoco gas station to collapse early in the morning New Year's Day.
No one was hurt in the accident, and the gas station was closed at the time of the incident. Owner Tahir Ayub said the business is insured.
According to Plattsburgh Fire Department officials, the canopy collapsed at 3:37 a.m., causing slight damage to the gas pumps. The station was barricaded by city officials and power was cut to the station.
The station is located at 5051 U.S. Ave, in front of Sky Way plaza in downtown Plattsburgh.

- Strangeness enhancement from strong color fields at RHIC (2000)
- In ultra-relativistic heavy ion collisions, early stage multiple scatterings may lead to an increase of the color electric field strength. Consequently, particle production - especially heavy quark (and di-quark) production - is greatly enhanced according to the Schwinger mechanism. We test this idea via the Ultra-relativistic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model (UrQMD) for Au+Au collisions at the full RHIC energy (ps = 200 AGeV). Relative to p+p collisions, a factor of 60, 20 and 7 enhancement respectively, for (sss), (ss), and , (s) is predicted for a model with increased color electric field strength.
- Equation of state of resonance-rich matter in the central cell in heavy-ion collisions at sqrt s =200 A GeV (2000)
- The equilibration of hot and dense nuclear matter produced in the central cell of central Au+Au collisions at RHIC (sqrt s = 200 A GeV) energies is studied within a microscopic transport model. The pressure in the cell becomes isotropic at t approx 5 fm/c after beginning of the collision. Within the next 15 fm/c the expansion of matter in the cell proceeds almost isentropically with the entropy per baryon ratio S/A approx 150, and the equation of state in the (P,epsilon) plane has a very simple form, P=0.15 epsilon. Comparison with the statistical model of an ideal hadron gas indicates that the time t approx 20 fm/c may be too short to reach the fully equilibrated state. Particularly, the creation of long-lived resonance-rich matter in the cell decelerates the relaxation to chemical equilibrium. This resonance-abundant state can be detected experimentally after the thermal freeze-out of particles.
- Enhanced strange particle yields : signal of a phase of massless particles? (2000)
- The yields of strange particles are calculated with the UrQMD model for p,Pb(158 AGeV)Pb collisions and compared to experimental data. The yields are enhanced in central collisions if compared to proton induced or peripheral Pb+Pb collisions. The enhancement is due to secondary interactions. Nevertheless, only a reduction of the quark masses or equivalently an increase of the string tension provides an adequate description of the large observed enhancement factors (WA97 and NA49). Furthermore, the yields of unstable strange resonances as the Lambda star(1520) resonance or the phi meson are considerably affected by hadronic rescattering of the decay products.
- Transition to resonance-rich matter in heavy ion collisions at RHIC energies (2000)
- The equilibration of hot and dense nuclear matter produced in the central region in central Au+Au collisions at square root s = 200A GeV is studied within the microscopic transport model UrQMD. The pressure here becomes isotropic at t approx 5 fm/c. Within the next 15 fm/c the expansion of the matter proceeds almost isentropically with the entropy per baryon ratio S/A approx 150. During this period the equation of state in the (P, epsilon)-plane has a very simple form, P = 0.15 epsilon. Comparison with the statistical model (SM) of an ideal hadron gas reveals that the time of approx 20 fm/c may be too short to attain the fully equilibrated state. Particularly, the fractions of resonances are overpopulated in contrast to the SM values. The creation of such a long-lived resonance-rich state slows down the relaxation to chemical equilibrium and can be detected experimentally.
- Local equilibrium in heavy-ion collisions: microscopic analysis of a central cell versus infinite matter (2000)
- REVTEX, 27 pages incl. 10 figures and 3 tables; Phys. Rev. C (in press) Journal-ref: Phys.Rev. C62 (2000) 064906. We study the local equilibrium in the central V = 125 fm3 cell in heavy-ion collisions at energies from 10.7 A GeV (AGS) to 160 A GeV (SPS) calculated in the microscopic transport model. In the present paper the hadron yields and energy spectra in the cell are compared with those of infinite nuclear matter, as calculated within the same model. The agreement between the spectra in the two systems is established for times t >= 10 fm/c in the central cell. The cell results do not deviate noticeably from the infinite matter calculations with rising incident energy, in contrast to the apparent discrepancy with predictions of the statistical model (SM) of an ideal hadron gas. The entropy of this state is found to be very close to the maximum entropy, while hadron abundances and energy spectra differ significantly from those of the SM.
- Global observables and secondary interactions in central Au+Au reactions at sqrt[s]=200A GeV (2000)
- The ultrarelativistic quantum molecular dynamics model (UrQMD) is used to study global observables in central reactions of Au+Au at sqrt[s]=200A GeV at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC). Strong stopping governed by massive particle production is predicted if secondary interactions are taken into account. The underlying string dynamics and the early hadronic decoupling implies only small transverse expansion rates. However, rescattering with mesons is found to act as a source of pressure leading to additional flow of baryons and kaons, while cooling down pions.

In 1967 Gary Hart returned to Denver from Washington, D.C., where he'd worked in the Department of the Interior since 1965. When Senator Robert F. Kennedy announced his presidential run, Hart went to work in the campaign, only to once again witness another in a series of what he calls "a virus of assassinations." In 1972 he was campaign manager for Senator George McGovern's unsuccessful presidential run; in 1988, after two terms as senator from Colorado, Hart's own presidential campaign self-destructed. The author of more than a dozen nonfiction books and four novels, Hart, 71, is now a distinguished fellow of the New America Foundation, the Wirth Chair professor at the University of Colorado at Denver, and chair of both the Council for a Livable World and the American Security Project. In December, an environmental group for which he serves on the board of advisers introduced the newly formed Presidential Climate Action Plan—what Time magazine calls "an ambitious to-do list for the next administration." … Back to Article

When your passionate about something, you want it to be in every aspect of your life. While your idea sounds nice, at the end of the day, why should pro gamers be recognized with the likes of the famous? Why should gaming be televised? And really to get people on board, how does it better mankind? I have to say compared to sports, gaming is not improving the quality of life. Sports on the other hand motivate people to exercise. Exercise has clear benefits. Yes I know exercise your mind..... but in the big picture exercising your mind in a fantasy world though there are many parallels to the real world is actually slowing the progress you could be making with real mental exercise.
Arena PvP, "e-Sport PvP", and "Instanced PvP" is everything that is wrong with PvP in my opinion.
Ultimately, if rewards were removed from Battlegrounds, Arenas, and Warzones, nobody would play them. Why? Because the concept of playing the same small instance over and over again is ******* boring.
I want to get lost in my MMORPG. I want to live out my avatar for a short while. Structured PvP is just too artificial. There is no element of surprise and it's just not fun (redundant).
Deep World PvP is the future and I want to see more of that - World PvP done right.

Having had a foot in this realm and being in the season 1-2of the firs Professional Gaming League for Quake 2, it really would be interesting to see PvP accepted more widely watched, however I feel we are a long ways off, although able to make progress in that direction. Much like the UFC which almost failed and took a good 10+ years to really start breaking into the spotlight, I think Pro-Gaming will take longer. I think a big issue with making it attractive is a still prominent underlying cultural stereo-type/phobia of video games. They aren't taken seriously and a lot of people see them at most as leasurely or a waste of time. There's also the element of not having a consistent game that people can get used to and understand, and or play and compete with others in a orginized fashion at say school (football, basketball, baseball). I question if you can expect an audience to continually follow the new game that comes out every 1-3 years. Gotta work, post more later.
I've done the "e-sport" thing via FPS. I made a lot of money and won a lot of prizes. In fact, I used some of my winnings to purchase my wife (girlfriend at the time) a nice diamond engagement ring.
"e-sports" work for FPS. While virtual gaming is a joke to being with, FPS does offer entertainment due to watching the twitch, reflex, and accuracy of a live player. In my day (quit in 2008), hordes of people would just sit behind me during my 1v1's via Unreal Tournament.
Where is the excitement in WoW's e-sports? "Oh! Look how fast he can click tab!". I know that it requires a lot of team coordination, but it's just not exciting to watch.
MMO ESPORTS is DUMB.

"PvP is gaining momentum in "mainstream" society as more and more gamers take part."
Alright, I'm going to stop you right there. PvP has always been mainstream, and what has separated mmo's from mainstream gaming was, at least for a time, a level of sophistication and maturity. It's mmo's that have become more mainstream, and players who don't care about the finer points of mmo enjoyment have come in with their expectation to compete in e-peen waving contests in instanced maps, capturing flags and teabagging each other. Yes, mmos have had a long history of conflict. To call both such conflicts and e-sports PvP is to call an apple an orange.

Your enthusiasm is nice, but it's unrealistic to expect e-sports to compete with the spectacles of football or UFC.
1 - you wouldn't go to a venue to watch e-sports live. I mean, you might, but you might as well watch it on your computer, streamed over the internet, in the privacy of your own room - because there's nothing exciting about watching a live person click a mouse punch keys and stare at a screen. You want the game view and the gamer's perspective - so just watch it on your own screen.
2 - I agree with KingofHartz: watching someone who has dedicated their life to winning a virtual game seems less inspirational then someone who's dedicated their life to some kind of physical achievement or competition. Take someone like Michael Phelps wth superior strength and power in swimming, his intense training and daily regiment of diet and exercise, and the amazing record breaking feats he's accomplished. It's awe-inspiring! 99% of people think "I could never do that." On the other hand, you have fatty McCheetos over here, with the best Counter Strike ranking in the world and a $2,000 mouse, and record-breaking twitch reflexes, honed from hardcore CS gaming over the past 15 years. Seems less impressive, but that's just my opinion - and probably the stereotype you're try to fight tbh.
3 - As for those garbage reality shows like The Ultimate Fighter and American Idol - they only exist to create more drama and hype for the real spectacle - the competition itself. They're cheap to produce, heavily staged, and work to polarize the audience. Furthermore, they almost always further the worst of stereotyps through editing! Ask yourself, is a reality show about Pro Gamers going to change society's opinion on the world of e-sports? If anything, I would expect it to be detrimental.
Professional gaming is doing fine, and increasing in popularity as younger generations trend toward online streaming services and international competitions gather more contestants.
I see a natural progression in the next 20-30 years and who knows, maybe Time Warner will offer their own e-sports channel someday, with commercials peddaling marijuana brands (just like beer and football). As far as this call to action, unneccessary. These things need time, not reform.

It's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years that makes all the difference.
I'd rather see LARPing become a sport than video games.
E-sports is like professional TV watching. It's a leisure activity, not a sport.
All in my humble opinion, of course.

One thing about progaming in general is, people watch it and think I could be as good as him if I played as much as him. In most gaming in general if someone is better then you usually you think it's the games fault not yours and that your better. Tell me it's not true, anyone that pvps thinks they are the best no matter how much better someone is then them. Pro athletes are usually very gifted physically and dedicated their lives to a physical spot, it's totally different.

Pro gaming has and always will be a joke to most people.

I can see it now:
"The Teabag Bowl!"
Back in the day I was one of my city's top Starcraft 1 players but this was back in 2003-2004.. couldn't go pro because there was almost no support structure and I had to choose between being a pro-gamer and school in the end.
To anyone who says E-sports are not true sports: First try and beat a world class chess player then do the same with a world class starcraft 1 or starcraft 2 player, or try and beat a pro tennis player and then jump into a 1vs1 vs a World of Tanks pro gamer. You will quickly see just how close the sentiment of being outclassed is between cyber sports and real world sports and indeed the difference between the two is one of application and of perception but in the end these sportsmen train with the same intensity (part of the reason why I had to choose between pro-gaming and school is that the training schedual for a starcraft 1 pro gamer is around 8-9 hours of practice and honing his skills in terms of micromanagement and macromanagement which left ass all time for anything else).

Everyones a mmo vet these days :P
I agree with you Dihoru , Where I live we have zero structure for that sort of thing as well. There's been afew competitions I wanted to join but I couldn't because I live in Canada, so I played on a professional paint ball team and won Aton of matches, long story short, they should make some of these esport things available to everyone and not a select few, how can anyone say they are the best in the world if they didn't challenge the world but just a country or two? I agree 100% that esports in mmos is not a good idea , everyone generally is different and some classes are far superior to others, while in FPS , everyone can have the same weapons and that is skill, save some hackers using wall hacks and aim bott, I will say that I've seen my fair share of amazing players back in the day, and there wasn't any insulting or name calling, but now it's completely different to the point that many players don't want to deal with the negative attitude that comes with pvp games now adays. Just my two cents:)

Gave up sports when "dem bums" left Brooklyn. At times I wonder if folks are more concerned about their home team than their home planet. Meanwhile, now that gun control was defeated in congress perhaps more people will be motivated to get off their butts and vote the jerks out of office. 99% can accomplish a lot if they want to.. Yeah, I do play games, so many in fact I remain an "Isolit" throughout them all........

Its disgusting what has happened to MMOs in the last 10 years. The genre has changed into something that was done so much better by single or multi player games.

Greatest threat to society is letting casualties of puberty reproduce.
Have to disagree with you. FPS or any other E=sport is not a sport. Other osters are cuoorect when they talk about admiration for football players and people like Phelps. No matter how hard I train I could never be one of them but sitting in front of a screen for hours on end does not an athlete make. It is a competition but to call them athletes is laughable.

I have been a gamer since the mid 80s, I L O V E video games...but I wouldnt watch someone else playing a video game anymore than I would want to watch someone Golf...or cut grass.
Its boring. Sure, CHECKING OUT a new game via watching someone play it, thats fine...for a short period of time. And no, I will never call a pro-gamer an athelete and thus I will not call playing video games a sport.

Plenty of people have been waiting quite awhile for the Samsung Behold 2 to land on T-Mobile and if you're one of those people and you've got $199.99 to spare, it can be yours on November 18th. Of course that involves a 2-year contract but you could also buy the phone outright for $449.99.
The price is on the higher end of the Android price scale but with a 3.2″ inch AMOLED touchscreen, several hardware buttons and a 5MP camera with auto-focus and flash a $199.99 starting point is/was kind of expected. What IS pretty cool is T-Mobile's new "Even More Plus Plans" will allow you to split the cost of the $449.99 phone into 20 monthly payments of $22.50 if you don't feel prepared to drop half a G nuke on your bank account.
We're not all that fond of the 3D cube UI but we're definitely eager to see how the rest of the Samsung TouchWiz UI looks and feels incorporated with Android.

Krista in Lafayette Hill, Pa.: Is it true that the CW has decided to air the rest of the episodes of The Beautiful Life later this season? If for some miracle the ratings increased would they bring it back full time?
A representative for the CW tells us, "The status of unaired eps of The Beautiful Life is still to be determined." My rock-solid source who knows about such things tells me: No truth whatsoever. Sorry, Mischa!
Hee, I don't know if you know,
but there's a intervieuw from mischa with alexa chung! so would you put that up?
The Alexa Chung interview was posted back when it first aired. I believe its on page 6 or 7 if you check the updates history below.

Watch for the full episode, coming soon to Cosmic Journeys. Far out in space, in the center of a seething cosmic maelstrom. Extreme heat. High velocities. Atoms tear, and space literally buckles. Photons fly out across the universe, energized to the limits found in nature. Billions of years later, they enter the detectors of spacecraft stationed above our atmosphere.
Our ability to record them is part of a new age of high-energy astronomy, and a new age of insights into nature at its most extreme. What can we learn by witnessing the violent birth of a black hole?
There have been times when our understanding of the universe has reached a standstill, when our grasp of the workings of time and space, the nature of matter and energy, do not fully square with what we observe. In those times, opposing worldviews cannot be resolved.
So it was in the spring of 1920, when astronomers debated the scale of the universe. The scene was the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, DC. On one side was the astronomer Harlow Shapley, known for his groundbreaking work on the size of our galaxy and the position of the sun within it.
Shapley described the galaxy as an island universe. As large as his measurements suggested it was, it might indeed be all there is. That included mysterious fuzzy shapes known as spiral nebulae. He argued they were merely gas clouds. On the opposing side, Heber Curtis argued that some nebulae were also island universes. That idea was not new. 165 years earlier, the German philosopher Emmanuel Kant described the nebulae as galaxies unto themselves...
"It is noted only in the Milky Way," he said," that whitish clouds are seen; several patches of similar aspect shine with faint light here and there throughout the aether, and if the telescope is turned upon any of these it confronts us with a tight mass of stars." It took a new generation of powerful telescopes for astronomers to finally measure the distance to those mysterious objects.

Rochester Police tell News10NBC a K-9 unit was able to help officers locate a burglary suspect who was hiding in the basement of an apartment building on Oxford Street early Monday morning.
Rochester Police say John Volger of Rochester refused to come out and that's when the K-9 helped take him into custody. The 32 year old is accused of stealing items from a person who lives in the building and then hiding in the basement. That tenant called 911 and when police arrived they began searching the building.
Vogler is charged with burglary and petit larceny.

Really looking forward to both. Hope Spongs head is in it tonight.
any important fights in the glory tourney?
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Glory yes, Pacquiao v Bradley fight no.
Watch out for spoilers online for the Glory event. Apparently the event has already finished.
Thanks for the heads up Spoon
I don't care for boxing much these days but the fix in the original Pac/Bradley fight makes me wanna see Bradley get wrecked
I'd rather watch the season finale of Suits.
Im guessing Spong loses. He really didn't look himself in his first fight and Saki just wrecked his opponent.

These workshops have been very successful in helping people to write extensively about their life experiences - whether for family members or to someday be published in a book, according to Czarnecki.
Michael Czarnecki has been making a living as a poet, publisher and oral memoirist for nearly two decades. He has given hundreds of readings and workshops throughout the country.

In the depths of the Village Urban Resort Dudley, secreted behind a contemporary dark wooden door and low lighting, is a little piece of paradise in the form of Healthworks – a wonderfully relaxing spa that serves hotel guests as well as local West Midlanders. Healthworks, which has been there since the hotel opened, offers an extensive array of relaxing and rejuventating treatments, along with some unique ESPA products designed specifically for them.
I visited this underground haven a week ago when I had the pleasure of staying in the hotel. The treatment menu is what a non-spa-goer like me might call 'exhausting'. There were endless choices that I had spent hours scanning the evening before, wondering for the most part what half of them were. Words like 'thalassotherapy' and 'phytotherapy' are as alien to a busy person like me as simpler words are, like the term 'relaxation' for example, something I've long since forgotten the point of. So when I arrived the next morning, ready for my treatment, I still had no idea what I wanted to try.
I chose a facial, a word I at least comprehend, and met Marcia, possibly one of the most outstanding therapists I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. She explained the process of the facial I was going to have, and how it would identify problem areas of my skin, before going on to do just that. She's a little like a matron (and I mean that in the nicest possible way, of course), scolding me subtley for not wearing enough sun protection and for failing to exfolitate as often as I knew I should, but at the same time she set about giving me the best facial treatment possible. Over the next hour I was pampered, massaged, cleansed, sprayed and more until it was time to leave, and I glided out with a renewed sense of wellbeing and a face that smelled of lemon trees. All rather nice indeed, if I do say…
There's a Healthworks spa in several of the DeVere locations around the UK, and over the next while each of them is getting a makeover of their own. They'll soon be rebranded under the name Viva Urban Spa, and my guess is that they'll be even more luxurious than they currently are. If you find yourself in the West Midlands, perhaps enjoying one of the many other pleasures that Dudley has to offer, I strongly suggest that you book yourself into Healthworks for a few moments of sheer indulgence and a little bit of time to yourself.

1 bunch
cilantro, chopped
3 large
fresh tomatoes, diced
red onion, diced
jalapeno peppers, seeded and chopped
tomatillos, diced
2 tablespoons
lime juice
1 teaspoon
hot chili sauce (such as Sriracha)
1 teaspoon
freshly ground cumin seed
salt, to taste
corn tortilla chips
I love salsa, so waiting 8 hours to eat this was out of the question. I compromised by putting most in the fridge, and left a small sample to try out. And wow, is this stuff good! Being a huge cilantro fan, this recipe was right up my alley. I can only imagine how great this will taste tomorrow. I'm tempted to eat this with a spoon, it's that good. Great recipe!
This was SO NOT a salsa. This was a pico de gallo. With that said, it was excellent for what it was. I love cilantro and I love salsa. But given that we made this for a salsa that was to be used in multiple recipes as well as a disk on it's own, it was a letdown at the time...

I made this pretty much as listed, but I used organic petite diced tomatoes (juice drained of course). I also used whole cumin that I toasted and ground before adding to salsa. This added great flavor!
This was easy to make,and even the kidos gobbled it up. Thanks!
Very nice recipe. I added a can of corn(drained), and black beans(rinsed & drained). Everyone that ate it loved it.
This recipe is great. I followed it exactly. Lots of flavor and color and it is even better the next day. I would not change a thing but, if you want, its a great base to play with.
Fresh and the Best! I made this yesterday for a Derby party and unfortunatley came home with none left over. You can adjust the spice to your likeness and although it calls for 8 hrs of refrigeration, it was very tasty the day it was made. I guess I will need to make it again and regrig so that I can report on the taste the day after!
This recipe is a delicious basic recipe.I did make some minor changes to suit our tastes (lower sodium and a little milder)and served on Ritz low sodium crackers.Thankyou.
I added some chopped avacado and the juice of 2 limes, with pulp. delicious!

A family owned business, Jamestown Mattress is continuing the tradition of manufacturing the finest quality mattresses and box springs. The business was first started by the W.I. Blystone Company in 1886. The Pullan family purchased the business in 1981. Family members oversee every phase of the manufacturing operation, taking great pride in our Jamestown Mattress product in your home.
Jamestown Mattress produces it's own line of high quality mattresses and boxsprings. It sells them factory direct through its retail stores as well as wholesale to other businesses. It also carries a fine selection of daybeds, headboards, futons, bunkbeds and adjustable beds available to the general public.
In 1994, Jamestown mattress purchased a quilting machine that enabled it to quilt mattress materials for production and for sale to smaller companies not having the machinery for producing their own materials. It added a 2nd state-of-the-art quilting machine in 2003 to enhance its quilting capabilities. This allowed the company to introduce deluxe pillow top bedding to their current lines.
To make room for the extra business its new capabilities would create, Jamestown Mattress constructed a new 4000 square foot addition to its Jamestown plan location.
When Jamestown Mattress first began operations in 1981, it had only three employees. Today, that figure has grown to 35 full time employees working for them.
We invite everyone to stop by any one of their locations to view the finest bedding from this family owned and operated company.
Jamestown Mattress is one of the few places left that still make and sell the flip mattress. Many would say, a mattress is a mattress.
There are many benefits to having a flip mattress.
Here are some tips for caring for your mattress:
