Jonathan Gottschall on The Storytelling Animal
What is the storytelling animal?
Only humans tell stories. Story sets us apart. For humans, story is like gravity: a field of force that surrounds us and influences all of our movements. But, like gravity, story is so omnipresent that we are hardly aware of how it shapes our lives. I wanted to know what science could tell us about humanity's strange, ardent love affair with story.
What inspired you to write this book?
I was speeding down the highway on a gorgeous autumn day, cheerfully spinning through the FM dial, and a country music song came on. My normal response to this sort of catastrophe is to turn the channel as quickly as possible. But that day, for some reason, I decided to listen. In "Stealing Cinderella," Chuck Wicks sings about a young man asking for his sweetheart's hand in marriage. The girl's father makes the young man wait in the living room, where he notices photos of his sweetheart as a child, "She was playing Cinderella/ She was riding her first bike/ Bouncing on the bed and looking for a pillow fight/ Running through the sprinkler/ With a big popsicle grin/ Dancing with her dad, looking up at him. . ." And the young man suddenly realizes that he is taking something precious from the father: he is stealing Cinderella. Before the song was over I was crying so hard that I had to pull off the road. I sat there for a long time feeling sad about my own daughters growing up to abandon me. But I was also marveling at how quickly Wicks's small, musical story had melted me into sheer helplessness. I wrote the book partly in an effort to understand what happened to me that day.
But don't you worry that science could explain away the magic of story?
I get this question a lot. The answer is "No! A thousand times, no!" Science adds to wonder; it doesn't dissolve it. Scientists almost always report that the more they discover about their subject, the more lovely and mysterious it becomes. That's certainly what I found in my own research. The whole experience left me in awe of our species--of this truly odd primate that places story (and other forms of art) at the very center of its existence.
Children come up a lot in this book, including your own children. . .
Yes, I spent a lot of time observing my two daughters (in this I took my cue from Darwin, who was a doting father, but not shy about collecting observational data on his large brood). I got lucky. My girls happened to be 4 and 7 during the main period that I was working on my book. This is the golden period of children's pretend play. And I was able to observe them spontaneously creating these fantastic wonder-worlds, with these elaborate and dangerous plots. I noticed that my girls spent almost all of their awake time in various kinds of make-believe. And I was invited to enter those worlds myself, to play the roles of princes and Ken dolls and monsters. I learned a lot about the nature of story from my girls. Story and other forms of art are often seen as products of culture. But this perspective is one-sided. Story blooms naturally in a child--it is as effortless and reflexive as breathing.
Are dreams a form of storytelling?
Yes, they are. Dreams are, like children's make-believe, a natural and reflexive form of storytelling. Researchers conventionally define dreams as "intense sensorimotor hallucinations with a narrative structure." Dreams are, in effect, night stories: they focus on a protagonist--usually the dreamer--who struggles to achieve desires. Researchers can't even talk about dreams without dragging in the basic vocabulary of English 101: plot, theme, character, scene, setting, point of view, perspective. The most conservative estimates suggest that we dream in a vivid, story-like way for more than six solid years out of a seventy-year lifespan. So dreams are definitely part of the evolutionary riddle of storytelling.
What is the future of story?
In the digital age, people are reading less fiction, but this is because they've found new ways to jam extra story into their lives--on average we watch five hours of TV per day, listen to hours of songs, and spend more and more time playing story-centric video games. I think we are seeing, in video games, the birth of what will become the 21st century's dominant form of storytelling. The fantasy lands of online games like World of Warcraft attract tens of millions of players, who spend an average of 20–30 hours per week adventuring in interactive story. Players describe the experience of these games as "being inside a novel as it is being written." In upcoming decades, as computing power increases exponentially, these virtual worlds are going to become so attractive that we will be increasingly reluctant to unplug. So the real danger isn't that story will disappear from our lives. It is that story will take them over completely.
"[An] insightful yet breezily accessible exploration of the power of storytelling and its ability to shape our lives...[that is] packed with anecdotes and entertaining examples from pop culture." The Boston Globe
"The Storytelling Animal is informative, but also a lot of fun.... Anyone who has wondered why stories affect us the way they do will find a new appreciation of our collective desire to be spellbound in this fascinating book." BookPage
"Stories are the things that make us human, and this book's absorbing, accessible blend of science and story shows us exactly why." Minneapolis Star Tribune.
"This is a work of popular philosophy and social theory written by an obviously brilliant undergraduate teacher. The gift for the example is everywhere. A punchy line appears on almost every page." The San Francisco Chronicle
—Library Journal "A lively pop-science overview of the reasons why we tell stories and why storytelling will endure..[Gottschall's] snapshots of the worlds of psychology, sleep research and virtual reality are larded with sharp anecdotes and jargon-free summaries of current research... Gottschall brings a light tough to knotty psychological matters, and he's a fine storyteller himself."
—Kirkus Reviews "They say we spend multiple hours immersed in stories every day. Very few of us pause to wonder why. Gottschall lays bare this quirk of our species with deft touches, and he finds that our love of stories is its own story, and one of the grandest tales out there—the story of what it means to be human."
—Sam Kean, author of The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements "Story is not the icing, it's the cake! Gottschall eloquently tells you 'how come' in his well researched new book."
—Peter Guber, CEO, Mandalay Entertainment and author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Tell To Win "This is a quite wonderful book. It grips the reader with both stories and stories about the telling of stories, then pulls it all together to explain why storytelling is a fundamental human instinct."
— Edward O. Wilson, University Research Professor and Honorary Curator in Entomology, Harvard University "Stories are everywhere. Stories make us buy; they make us cry; they help us pass the time, even when we're asleep. In this enthralling book, Jonathan Gottschall traces the enduring power of stories back to the evolved habits of mind. He reveals the ways in which we are trapped, for better or worse, in a world of narrative. If you are in the storytelling business — and aren't we all? — you must read this book." —Jonah Lehrer "The Storytelling Animal is a delight to read. It's boundlessly interesting, filled with great observations and clever insights about television, books, movies, videogames, dreams, children, madness, evolution, morality, love, and more. And it's beautifully written—fittingly enough, Gottschall is himself a skilled storyteller."
—Paul Bloom, Professor of Psychology at Yale and author of How Pleasure Works "Like the magnificent storytellers past and present who furnish him here with examples and inspiration, Jonathan Gottschall takes a timely and fascinating but possibly forbidding subject — the new brain science and what it can tell us about the human story-making impulse — and makes of it an extraordinary and absorbing intellectual narrative. The scrupulous synthesis of art and science here is masterful; the real-world stakes high; the rewards for the reader numerous, exhilarating, mind-expanding."
—Terry Castle, Walter A. Haas Professor in the Humanities, Stanford University

SOURCE: Siegel, Paul N. "Gimpel and the Archetype of the Wise Fool." In The Achievement of Isaac Bashevis Singer, edited by Marcia Allentuck, pp. 159-73. Carbondale, Ill.: Southern Illinois University Press, 1969.
In the following essay, Siegel examines the ways in which Singer utilizes the archetypal figure of the wise fool in "Gimpel the Fool," and calls the story "a masterpiece of irony."
"Gimpel the Fool," perhaps the most widely acclaimed work of Isaac Bashevis Singer, has its roots deep in the soil of Yiddish literature. It is concerned with two of what Irving Howe and Eliezer Greenberg tell us, in their Treasury of Yiddish Stories, are "the great themes of Yiddish literature," "the virtue of powerlessness" and "the sanctity of the insulted...

|Nodetype registration and properties with 'xml attributes'
|Thu, 05 Mar 2009 15:00:56 GMT
Hi to all, we have to register our custom nodetype in Jackrabbit repository. We extend nt:resource for files and add other properties. The problem is that our customer want to observe ICCD standard that says: property extension: dc property name: subject property example: <dc:subject xsi:type="imv:DRAT">subject value</dc:subject> Then, I don't know xml equivalent about Jackrabbit property implementation so I don't know how can (if it's possible...) insert xsi:type 'xml attribute' with his value in our custom property definition of nodetype.

Is there any cryptographic primitive bijective (one-to-one and onto) function for creating cryptographic tools like symmetric encryption/decryption, Hash code generator, MAC, HMAC and Random number generator?
As CodesInChaos notes, a secure block cipher satisfies all the criteria in your question:
Indeed, insofar as there exists a "universal building block" in modern cryptography, block ciphers are it. Pretty much the only thing they cannot do is public-key cryptography.
That said, block ciphers certainly aren't the only possible building block. For example, a cryptographic hash or pseudorandom function can be used in the Feistel / Luby–Rackoff construction to construct a block cipher, which can then be used to construct all the other things described above.

Air conditioning repairing and replacement
Nov 05
There are situations where you need to make a thorough study on when to maintain your furnace and air condition. When you install a furnace or a heating system or an air conditioner in your office or at your house then the installation process and the first maintenance will be done by the dealer or the company that gives you or from where you purchase them.
But later on it is the owner who has to be careful about the furnace or air conditioner. You have to be aware of the time when annual maintenance is needed and call upon a professional to do that task. There are many professionals that deal with the maintaining, repairing and replacing of furnace, heaters or air conditioners.
You can get in touch with them through internet where they have their telephone numbers installed in them and also you can get the numbers of people who does these kinds of works from dealers from whom you have purchased the machine.
There are people who will do these maintenance work on contract basis and for that you have to pay an amount and take a contract for five years or more or even less than that. In such contracts you pay according to the time period. In such contracts they would come and do maintenance work on that time by their own.Read More

A cast member of "The Real Housewives of Orange County" is engaged in dueling lawsuits with a man who claimed he was her secret beau, court documents show.
Rossi's suit claims Photoglou threw her against a wall in 2008. The suit alleges Photoglou pulled Rossi's hair and threatened to kill her, and that he owes her $18,000 and has lied about her repeatedly to the media, the Register said.
"Rossi's reputation with her cast mates, and viewers of the Housewives show, and others has been tarnished, discredited and assassinated," her attorneys allege in the suit. "The harm is irreparable."

What are the differences between the various Nuschaos in Sefiras Haomer (e.g. Ashkenaz says this, Sefard says that...)?

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
To tie up everything that's been said (and more):
For example, on the 22nd day of the Omer:
Also note: the Leshem Yichud also varies based on Nusach.
Nusach Sefard says La'Omer - Nusach Ashkenaz says Ba'Omer
Nusach Sefard says everything in the Siddur - Nusach Ashkenaz only the Beracha, day, and HaRachaman
In addition to the other differences noted in the other answer, my understanding is that S'faradim say laomer before the weeks' count ("shehem..."), and Ashk'nazim after it. (No source, but check your nearby S'faradi sidur. (I don't have one nearby at the moment.))
For a very nice synopsis of the history behind these versions, see this piece from R' Binyomin Shlomo Hamburger.

Day 17 of #WhiskyAdvent and time to leave Scotland once again, for today's Whisky Advent Calendar dram is a single malt from Sweden!
Mackmyra opened their first distillery back in 1999 and have since gained a reputation for producing some top malts. In 2012 they opened a second site, a gravity-run facility that stands at 37 metres high! This is where all of their distillation now takes place, save for the odd special run.

Today we'd like to tell you about a new and extremely exciting gin! There are always new gins coming out, of course, but how many of them are made with hand picked botanicals from Kew Gardens?! Kew Organic Gin is certainly something quite special.
Dodd's Gin (the chaps from The London Distillery Company in Battersea) has partnered with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew to create a brand new organic gin from the aforementioned foraged seasonal Kew flora and other organic botanicals from around the world. The famous gardens span 320 acres, employing 750 staff (250 of which are scientists with many more involved in the internationally important research carried out there) and house a truly extraordinary collection of useful plants and fungi. Understandably, it's been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2003. Can you dream of a better place to source botanicals?

December 16th? My goodness, fewer than ten days left until the main event! This is when excitement or panic sets in, in earnest, depending on how much shopping you have left to do! Try not to worry just yet though, we've got you covered.
So, to The Whisky Advent Calendar, faithfully counting down those days to Christmas in delicious style. Today's dram is another Balvenie! We tasted the delights of Sherry cask matured Balvenie on Day 8, now it's time to see what American oak brings to the table alongside Sherry with surely one of the most satisfying and accessible whiskies available today.

In your best Stevie voice: "Yesterday Superstition, today Fettercairn Fior." That's right, there's another wonderful dram from White & MacKay behind window 15 of Drinks by the Dram's Whisky Advent Calendar!
Fior, like Superstition, has no age statement, but is made up primarily of 14-15 year old whiskies, which are blended with some 5 year old peated malt (and age statement of 5 years old would therefore be somewhat misleading). Fettercairn, meaning 'foot of the mountain', is named after the town in which the distillery is located and carries the emblem of a unicorn! If you didn't know, despite being supernatural (like Whisky Santa), the unicorn is in fact the national animal of Scotland too! They're said to be have legendary magical qualities that people have long sought to use for personal gain. People (and wizards) have been known to try and acquire unicorn hair, blood, or even tears. That's why Firebox spend so much time getting unicorns to cry, the fiends! They say Chuck Norris'* tears have special qualities too. Apparently they can cure all known diseases! Too bad he never cries.

You know how we hate charging for shipping? We want to banish the mere concept of "shipping charges" to the land of wind and ghosts where it can stay.

Are you a superstitious sort of person? Would it concern you if you received a 13 year old whisky made with 13% heavily peated malt on day... 14? It seems Drinks by the Dram didn't want to push their luck - who knows what would have happened if they'd placed this dram a day earlier in their Whisky Advent Calendar?! (Well, Whisky Santa and the Flying Spaghetti Monster probably know, but that was essentially a rhetorical question.)
Yes, it's Jura Superstition today, a single malt made up of whiskies aged between 13 and 21 years from the small and "extremely unget-at-able" Isle of Jura. It's an island that's populated by many more red deer than humans (Jura or 'Diùra' literally meaning 'deer island'), outnumbering the human population 30:1! Perhaps that's why they are indeed a superstitious lot, the Duirach, only cutting peat before May and always building their haystacks in a clockwise direction - heaven forbid if the deer turned on them! For added good luck an Ankh cross features on the Superstition label. If you fancy getting hold of one yourself after tasting your dram, it's recommended that you hold the bottle with the Ankh in the palm of your hand so some off the good fortune comes your way too.

Away from Islay peat and back into the warm embrace of some truly top notch Sherry now, as we open window 13 of Drinks by the Dram's Whisky Advent Calendar...
A change of theme, perhaps, but another 12 year old expression today, this time from Glendronach! Interesting, up until 2005 (with this whisky having been distilled before that date) Glendronach were operating direct-fired stills, a tradition some distilleries in Scotland have maintained to this day (Glenfarclas, for example). Glendronach, however, were still using coal and were in fact the final distillery in Scotland to do so. The uneven heating provided by direct-firing creates hotspots in the stills and is thought to lead to different notes in the spirit produced and in the finished whisky, some of which you'll be able to taste in today's dram.

We're half way, can you believe it?! There's still the same amount of delicious drams left after today as we've enjoyed from The Whisky Advent Calendar so far! (We've decided to adopt some festive calendar-half-full thinking - there are still plenty more treats to look forward to!) It also means that Christmas is drawing ever nearer so time's running out to sort out all those pressies, made easier we hope by our Free Shipping offers and the like. On to the window at hand though, appropriately revealing a 12 year old single malt Scotch whisky for Day 12.

So, what do we have behind window number 11 of The Whisky Advent Calendar from Drinks by the Dram? Why it's the fourth batch of That Boutique-y Whisky Company's Arran single malt!*
Each of the Arrans in this series features illustrator Emily Chappell and a friend stranded on a desert island after an ill-fated kayaking trip. As you may know, there are often subtle differences between the labels of Boutique-y batches, however, and if you look carefully on the right hand side of Batch 4... you'll see that she's actually put up her Christmas tree!

We've made it to day 10 of #WhiskyAdvent! Time to open another window of Drinks by the Dram's Whisky Advent Calendar, and we have a good feeling about this one...

ANRAN has schedule to approve on Decmber 19.. VVUS will be dead..SELL SELLL
Sentiment: Strong Sell
Dont waste your time on these deluted vvus longs. Tam handed these idiots their empty bag at 30 pps while laughing to the bank while these clowns cheering with their torn skirts.
Vivus has been a dream short since ~$30 bucks. Made good $ on puts, the way I "short".
Play all pops in pps this way with Vivus for a time. Good money to be had!
I actually think Vivus will sell better after Belviq sales take off, then one will have to see
how to play Vivus.... as a sector component. I doubt it will ever come close to a sales potential like Belviq, but will garner better sales than at present--even with the generic equivalents being available.
Sentiment: Hold
Since the news is out, tomorrow's event will be a trap only. Why do you think it got released prematurely today. MM want you to think you can get in on something a day before the news and wham, down a buck. Remember where you heard it 1st.
ARNA's current price action sure doesn't look so hot. If this is such GREAT news, why is it only up .09? What does that tell you about it? I'd be VERY cautious

McDonald's Hiring Spree Inspires Hundreds to Vie For Jobs in L.A.
We're not sure if this is a positive sign of a turnaround, or an image that will be our time's version of a Depression-era soup line.
But it appears that people are making a run on those thousands of jobs that have opened up at McDonald's. Yeah, the restaurant chain that not even American teenagers will work in.
According to USC's Neon Tommy:
The operator of half a dozen South L.A. McDonalds' locations had received about 100 applications by 11 a.m. for about 20 openings, according to an employee at the McDonalds on Western Avenue and 18th Street.

[Get a jobbie job, today!].
Wow. These are gigs even illegal immigrants shrugged off in the go-go mid-'00s. (We kid, sort of).
With L.A.'s unemployment rate at 12.3 percent (and likely even higher as a result of people who gave up trying for months if not years), this isn't that surprising.
McDonald's reps tell the Weekly they're hiring 3,000 "crew and restaurant management positions" at 800 of its Southern California restaurants. Nationwide that number is 50,000.
Neal Ruby, president of the McDonald's Operators' Association of Southern California, states:
As our business continues to grow, we want to provide our customers with an even better experience in all of our Southern California restaurants.
A spokeswoman said interviews and applications were happening today. She couldn't say if there were lines for jobs at some locations.
"Flipping burgers" used to be a put down. Now it's a point of pride. (Where do we sign up?).

Dealing With Arthritis
Hydrotherapy, or therapy via the use of hot and cold water, may also be of some use in pain management. Likewise, heating pads may also relieve some of the pain associated with arthritis and cooling ice packs may have a natural anti-inflammatory effect.
Special devices
Orthotic devices that support and align joints may reduce pain and correct posture. Using specially designed arthritis products or canes and walkers may assist with limited mobility, and put less strain on damaged joints.
Physical activity
It is essential to remain active even if you suffer from arthritis. Although full-contact rugby may be out of the question, other low-impact activities like cycling or swimming will increase muscle tone and circulation to the affected areas, and reduce excess body weight.
However, if you suffer from severe arthritis or rheumatoid arthritis, it is essential that you respect your energy limits and rest appropriately. Exaggerating physical activity can be just as damaging.
There are many different drugs to treat arthritis. Analgesics, or painkillers, include acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol), or anti-nonsteroidal inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) like ibuprofen (e.g. Advil), fenoprofen, indomethacin, and naproxen.
Steroidal drugs, which reduce inflammation of the joint lining and subsequent swelling, may be of some use, and are sometimes injected directly into the joint.
Sometimes doctors employ aggressive therapy with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). Also, COX-2 specific inhibitors offer advanced arthritic treatment. These drugs selectively block the inflammation-producing COX-2 specific enzyme that is produced in arthritic joints. Consult your doctor for a list of appropriate medications.
Occasionally, surgery is recommended for severely affected joints. The most successful surgeries are those on the knees and hips. Usually, the first surgical treatment is removal of the synovium (synovectomy).
A later alternative is total joint replacement with a joint prosthesis. Surgeries may relieve joint pain, correct deformities, and modestly improve joint function. In extreme cases, total knee or hip replacement can mean the difference between being totally dependent on others and having an independent life at home.
Alternative therapies
Some people believe that taking supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin may be useful in maintaining joint health, and many new studies focusing on daily dosages of 1,500 - 2,000 mg of glucosamine confirm the promising hypothesis.
Glucosamine is a natural substance produced by the body and found primarily in joint cartilage, where it is thought to play an important role in maintaining joint health and resilience, whereas chondroitin gives cartilage its elasticity. These supplements are widely sold in health food stores and online.
a joint effortSeeing as you need your joints for a lifetime, I strongly recommend that you engage in healthy activities that promote joint health.
Try to minimize injury to muscles and joints, and do not overuse your joints (but don't be lazy, either). And above all, try to maintain a healthy weight.
So, if you're still in your 20s and healthy as a horse, go easy on your joints because the last thing you need is to suffer as you get older.

Tiny drive-in theater hopes for donationsOctober 24,2013Drive-in theater
seeking donations
BETHEL The operators of whats believed to be the smallest drive-in theater in the country are hoping an online fundraising campaign can help them buy a digital movie projector.
A digital projector typically costs upward of $70,000, according to Adam Gerhard, who has been leasing the 60-year-old Randall Drive-in Theatre in Bethel.
He and co-operator Regina Franz are seeking about $45,000 and make up the rest from raffles and corporate sponsorships.
Gerhard told the Valley News if they cant get the projector, the seasonal cinema might not return for another engagement.
They have a Dec. 13 deadline to meet their goal.

|Jikes integration with Tomcat and JDK1.2.2
|Thu, 04 Jan 2001 21:38:07 GMT
I thought I would try to use Jikes as the compiler of choice for Tomcat to use when compiling JSPs into Servlets. I downloaded jikes and tried to compile a simple test app with it to verify that it works before trying to get Tomcat to use it. My test compiles fail with Jikes complaining that the standard jdk jar files (rt.jar, src.jar) etc. are an "invalid zip format" and that it can't find packages java/lang and java/util because of this. Has anyone seen this with Jikes? What is the workaround? I am using Jikes 1.12 and running under WinNT4.0, if that helps. Thanks, Keith

Sporting Kansas City has rejected a bid from Olympiakos for striker Dom Dwyer, coach Peter Vermes said.

Olympiakos offered about $3 million for Dwyer, Goal.com reported, but Vermes told the Kansas City Star on Monday that the club had turned down the Greek champions.

Ex-Stribber: It's the management, stupid
Chris Ison, a Pulitzer Prize-winning formerStar Tribune
reporter who has becomea valuable local resource for teaching the next generation of Minnesota journalists
offersan interesting view
of life inside 425 Portland Ave.
Writing for Columbia Journalism Review, Ison suggests that the drum beat of depressing news about the media--and the steady line of coworkers taking buyouts or getting laid off--have seriously demoralized the Strib's newsroom. Although the 35W coverage provided a flicker of life, he suggests that on an average day local journos are too busy worrying about when the axe will fall to really throw themselves into investigative newsgathering. The answer, he says, is for managers to stop talking like business guys and start inspiring the troops with talk of good journalism.
The workers have shown they'll change how they do the work; they just don't want to change what the work is for. Is our central purpose still "to provide citizens with accurate and reliable information they need to function in a free society," the mission adopted seven years ago by the Committee of Concerned Journalists? Or have we lost that focus while reaching for younger readers, more unique visitors to the Web site, and shallow suburban coverage meant to draw more ads? Asked more simply, are we here to serve the community or ourselves?
I was reminded of this truth recently as Twin Cities media covered the one-year anniversary of the I-35W bridge collapse. Amid that tragedy a year ago, my old newsroom came to life again. Staffers hustled to the scene from vacations and dinners and days off. They worked tirelessly for weeks on every angle, producing investigative stories, photo pages, and multimedia packages. And for those weeks, the language in the newsroom changed. It was about the story. The focus and energy were back, and the great journalism that emerged was no coincidence.
The challenge for newsrooms is to instill that sense of purpose—and yes, pride—every day, because most days, the best stories are much harder to come by. A motivated reporter sees a story in almost every document and interview. On a bad day, the same reporter can manage to never see a story. He can file the easy 12-incher, and no one needs to know that he avoided the riskier one.

Arts Where Jen Graves Meets David Schmader: What a Country!
posted by October 25 at 20:23 PMon
While it's always dangerous to apply qualitative comparative standards to the appreciation of visual art, at times like this, one would do well to ask one's self, "Which patriotic/devotional painting by immigrant stand-up comedian Yakov Smirnoff is the best patriotic/devotional painting by Yakov Smirnoff?"
Is it "America's Heart"?
Is it "America at Peace"?
Is it "God and Country"?
Or is it, in fact, the Barry Gibb-inspired "Joy to the World"?
I'm no art critic, so I leave it to my learned colleagues to decide. Meanwhile, I'll be wandering the aisles of the gift shop of Mr. Smirnoff's theater in Branson, one town in Missouri where no one seems to be worked up about losing-ass baseball teams, stem cell research TV spots, or anything more than laughter, America, and personal expression through fine art.
What a country, indeed!

How do you achieve the block effect in the second row, first from the right?
How do you achieve the block effect in the second row, first from the right?
i don't mind at all. it's 6 sinusoidal transforms (with appropriate ztrans, rotx, and roty) then encircled with basic linear3d transforms to replicate the pattern into the distance. that one actually ends just outside the frame, but if you DL my first flamepak [link] you will find one called 'play with my final' which is the base piece to most of that series. you could also use sinusoidal and extrude in conjunction, or the dc_cube plugin with a solid color for the gradient. hope that helps.

Marseille provisionally pulled to within four points of Ligue 1 pacesetters Paris Saint-Germain on Friday after a gritty 1-0 victory over Bordeaux at Stade Velodrome.
Andre-Pierre Gignac netted a decisive goal for the second successive match as he struck four minutes before half-time to take his tally for the campaign to 11 and extend Marseille's unbeaten run to five outings.
Defeat for Bordeaux left Francis Gillot's men languishing a disappointing ninth, while leaders PSG can restore their seven-point advantage when they travel to Rennes on Saturday.
Former England and Marseille winger Chris Waddle turned back the clock as he kicked off his former club's match, but there was no space in Elie Baup's starting line-up for Joey Barton.
The on-loan midfielder was only named among the substitutes a day after learning he would be summoned to French football's ethics committee for disparaging remarks about PSG defender Thiago Silva, while Mathieu Valbuena was sidelined by a groin injury.
With neither side renowned for being prolific in front of goal -- Bordeaux's total of 29 goals scored only surpassing that of strugglers Reims and Nancy and Marseille (35) the lowest scoring team outside of Bordeaux in the top half of the table -- it was of little surprise that chances were at a premium throughout the evening.
Andre Ayew drew a good low save from Cedric Carrasso inside the opening 20 minutes before Gignac blazed two speculative efforts over the crossbar.
The burly Marseille forward did eventually find his range though on 41 minutes as he galloped down the right after being released by Benoit Cheyrou and took advantage of a slip by defender Ludovic Sane before coolly slotting beyond Carrasso.
Bordeaux failed to register a shot on target until the 70th minute when Nicolas Maurice-Belay stung the palms of Mandanda with Mali striker Cheick Diabate steering a difficult header wide from the rebound.
But the visitors best chance fell to Henri Saivet moments later as the substitute rose unmarked to meet a Ludovic Obraniak corner only to head the ball onto the roof of the net as Bordeaux failed to find the target for the fifth time in eight matches.

Corrections & Amplifications
Greece wasn't among the nine euro-zone members whose long-term ratings were lowered Friday by Standard & Poor's Ratings Services. A World News article Wednesday about European debt auctions incorrectly said that S&P cut Greece's ratings Friday.
The last name of Satoshi Yoshimura, president of Sekisui House Ltd. SKHSY -0.39 % 's North American operations, was misspelled as Yushimora in some editions of a Property Report article about Calpers on Wednesday.
Hong Kong, a special administrative region of China, is considered a developed market, while China itself is an emerging market, according to data provider MSCI. A Jan. 7 World News article about the selection of new Roman Catholic cardinals failed to note the distinction when it included Hong Kong as part of the developing world.
China's government believes it needs 120 million hectares, or around 296 million acres, to feed its people. A World News article Wednesday about China's urban population incorrectly converted 120 million hectares to 296 acres.
In 2008, 1.6 million acres burned in California wildfires. Of those, state firefighters fought blazes on 347,810 acres. A Jan. 12 U.S. News article about fire risks for the state didn't include the higher fire acreage number fought by all agencies.
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corp. invested $93 million in Moelis & Co. In some editions Wednesday, a Global Finance article incorrectly said Sumitomo Corp. SSUMY -0.24 % was making the investment.
There are 26 renovated galleries in the New American Wing Galleries for Paintings, Sculpture and Decorative Arts at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art. An article about the galleries in the Jan. 6 Friday Journal incorrectly said there were 25 renovated galleries.
In the 1990 season, the Giants won the Super Bowl one week after beating the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Conference Championship. A Sports article on Wednesday in some editions incorrectly said the Super Bowl was two weeks later. Also, Phil Simms quarterbacked the Giants against San Francisco in four of five playoff games. In some editions, the article said he was the quarterback in all five games.

A roundup of lawl-worthy moments from Bacchanal:
Memorable (or maybe not so memorable since most of you won't remember yesterday) quotes:
"Did you hear that mosh pitting perfectly mimics random particles in a box?"
"I really have to pee and take 4 shots!"
"That five year old doesn't have a CUID!"
Drunk GS students outside Lewisohn heckling people going in to pee: "NOW you want to go to Lewisohn! NOW you love GS!"

It may be a whole 24 hours until you can reasonably start pregaming Bacchanal, but considering how early you're going to have to get up, consider the advance preparation worth it. Drinking With Bwog brings you…ways to drink at 10 am without feeling gross, or at least without throwing up in front of Brooklyn Grinnell.

Like an Irish coffee, but possibly even stronger. You can roll out of bed and start drinking this right away, with no fear of falling asleep again.

So… Bacchanal is coming up. It's headlined as we all know by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, also featuring Flosstradamus and Morningsiders. Another thing: it starts at 11am. How do people feel about all this? Well, your trusty Bwog braved Butler in a quest for answers. Here are some of the best ones:

A bit after hearing Macklemore would not be performing at Bacchanal, we started hearing rumblings that–in fact–Macklemore would be coming to Columbia. Hating feeling fooled, Bwog reached out directly to Macklemore's manager, who confirmed that Macklemore & Ryan Lewis will be performing at Bacchanal.
The announcement from Bacchanal was going to come out on midnight, April 1st, in a statement given to Spec (remember: Bacchanal is pissed at us), but after we told them we had the confirmation from their manager, Bacchanal sent it to Spec today. In the statement, we find out that Flosstradamus will be performing. Also of note: the day will be starting early, with the Morningsiders on at 11 am.

Well, this seems unfortunate. According to The Williams Record, (most definitely not a Columbia source, interestingly enough) the man who may have been (may still be) this year's Bacchanal performer has cancelled his show in Williamstown—and his performance at Columbia. Bacchanal declined to comment on the report. The article text below tells the sad story, and why Macklemore supposedly dumped us: for greener pastures and the adoration of preteens.
"Yesterday Macklemore and Ryan Lewis, the act intended to headline the College's spring fling, called off their agreement to perform in Williamstown on April 14. Acting within the rights of their contracts, the duo canceled their performances both at the College and at Columbia (scheduled for April 13) in order to perform on MTV. "

The word on the street is that Macklemore is coming to Bachhanal! This comes on the heels of Yale's announcement that Macklemore would be performing at Spring Fling. (We don't wanna share!!!) Now, we stress that these are just rumors, but due to their frequency and potentially awesome implications we felt that we should share this not-quite-news-yet-news with you!

CINCINNATI -- Dee Milliner wasn't the first target of the Cincinnati Bengals' offensive attack on the New York Jets' shell-shocked defense. But the rookie cornerback was the first victim.
Safety Antonio Allen and cornerback Antonio Cromartie were picked on during the Bengals' first drive, which ended with Andy Dalton's nine-yard touchdown pass to Marvin Jones. But Milliner played so poorly in the first half that coach Rex Ryan sat him down before halftime.
"I benched him because, physically, he wasn't getting it done," Ryan said.
Milliner, benched for the second time this season, couldn't argue.
"I just wasn't making physical plays," the first-round draft pick said. "The last time, it was mental plays. [Sunday] I was in position to make the plays. I just didn't make them."
Unofficially, Milliner yielded four catches for 108 yards and one touchdown while the Bengals were racing to a 28-6 lead at halftime. Among the big plays he allowed were a 30-yard catch by Jones on Cincinnati's second possession, which left the Bengals with first-and-goal at the Jets' 4-yard line, and a 24-yard catch by Mohamed Sanu that got the Bengals from their own 25-yard line out to the 49. That drive also ended in a touchdown.
"Most of the big plays in the game happened on me," said Milliner, who also was benched before halftime of the Jets' 13-10 loss at New England in Week 2. "It was very frustrating. I feel that, as a person and a player, I let my teammates down. I played a terrible game."
Ryan was convinced during the week that Milliner was ready to play.
"I've seen it on the practice field and everything else," Ryan said. "This isn't the first game he's started. He's started for a while now. That's why."
What Ryan couldn't explain is why Milliner's practice performance isn't translating to games.
"That's a good question, but it wasn't just him," Ryan said. "We have a Pro Bowl corner [Cromartie] that didn't have a good day either, so it's all of us."
Milliner really didn't know what to think when Ryan told him his day was done.
"As a coach, he's got to do what he did," the Alabama product said. "I've got to make the plays. He put [Darrin] Walls in, and he did a great job. I respect [Ryan] and have to trust him on every decision he makes."

Firms Reported in Open Sources as Having Commercial Activity in Iran's Oil, Gas, and Petrochemical Sectors
GAO-11-855R: Published: Aug 3, 2011. Publicly Released: Aug 3, 2011.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-8979
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Iran's economy and government are reliant on revenues from its oil and gas industry. According to the 2011 Central Intelligence Agency World Factbook, oil accounts for approximately 80 percent of Iran's exports, and, according to the International Monetary Fund, Iran's 2009 oil revenues were about 66 percent of the Government of Iran's revenues. According to the Department of Energy (DOE), Iran ranks among the top three holders of proven oil and natural gas reserves in the world, and is one of the largest exporters of crude oil in the world. While Iran continues to produce significant amounts of crude oil, its peak production occurred in 1978 and has not been matched since then because of a high rate of natural decline in mature oil fields, limited investment, and sanctions. IHS Global Insight found that the oil sector will require approximately $25 billion in annual investments to maintain existing production and considerably more to develop and enhance recovery techniques that would lift Iran's daily output to 5.8 million barrels by 2015. While Department of State (State) officials state that sanctions have an impact on Iran, the Iranian government continues its attempts to increase the development of its oil and gas sectors through foreign investment. U.S. law restricts U.S. firms from investing in Iran's energy sector through a variety of sanctions administered by the Department of the Treasury to discourage Iran from supporting terrorism and developing nuclear weapons. In addition, the Iran Sanctions Act, as amended, provides for sanctions against persons, including foreign firms, who invest more than $20 million in Iran's energy sector. The Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act (CISADA) of 2010 added new activities for which entities can be sanctioned under the Iran Sanctions Act. In March 2010, we identified 41 firms with commercial activity in Iran's oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors, based on reliable open source reporting. The Senate Committee on Armed Services directed that we update this report. We also reported recently on companies that export sensitive technology to Iran and are currently working on a report of companies that sell refined petroleum products to Iran. In response to the Senate committee directive, this report (1) provides a list of companies reported to have commercial activity in Iran's oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors between January 2010 to May 2011 and companies reported to have withdrawn from commercial activity in Iran, and (2) identifies which of those companies have contracts with the U.S. government.
Using open source information, we identified 16 foreign firms that had commercial activity in Iran's oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors from January 2010 through May 2011, including 2 firms not listed in our prior report. According to our review of reliable open sources, foreign firms have significantly decreased commercial activity in Iran's oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors since we last reported. Twenty of the 41 firms listed in our 2010 report declared in their public reporting or in letters to GAO, which were also confirmed by State, that they have withdrawn or are withdrawing from commercial activity in Iran's energy sector. The companies that withdrew from Iran cited several reasons for ceasing activity, including sanctions imposed by the U.S. government, as well as other international organizations, and the difficulty associated with conducting business with Iran. According to Oil and Gas Journal, Iran's oil production could fall by more than 25 percent over the next 5 years because of a lack of investment in the country's energy sector. However, IHS Global Insight and DOE report that Indian and Chinese state oil companies have increased interest in the construction of Iranian refineries, and Iran is looking to India and China to increase development of oil exploration and production. Of the 16 foreign firms identified as having commercial activities in the oil, gas, and petrochemical sectors in the latest review period, two firms have U.S. government contracts totaling approximately $4 million in obligated funds. In comparison, our 2010 report found that the U.S. government obligated almost $880 million in contracts to 7 of the 41 firms having commercial activity in the Iranian energy sectors between 2005 and 2009. However, by May 2011, 5 of these 7 companies had withdrawn from commercial activity in Iran's energy sector. We are making no recommendations in this report.

Recent changes to 310: XML: treat - (minus) as a special charhttps://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/plugin-feature-requests/310/2012-09-03T14:09:06ZXML: treat - (minus) as a special char2012-09-03T14:09:06Z2012-09-03T14:09:06ZJarek Czekalskihttps://sourceforge.net/u/jarekczek/https://sourceforge.netdff08bd728d6cc17868076c001418d845c6c8008

"--" string is not permitted inside a comment. So I suggest to treat "-" as a special character. That would make it possible to use "Characters to Entities" to escape such strings. That's the goal of using "Characters to Entites", to convert characters that make problems in parsing into correct xml code.

I have 3 ideas, but don't know which would be best for the plugin:

1. treat "-" always as a special char and replace it with -
 2. treat "-" as special only after another "-"
 3. treat "-" as special if configured so

In any case Entites to Characters should replace the entity with original character.

Without this functionality a common problem I meet is ant scripts with exec call, with arguments like --output. These commands are impossible to comment out.
